On the eve of the Grammys, Justin Bieber was just awful on his Saturday Night Live monologue (and in every sketch) last night:
SNL: More Proof Justin Bieber Can't Act
58 Comments
No way Nicki……I loved the show and thought Justin showed that he COULD act…especially when he winks when he says he is only 11 years old…..very sophisticated take. He is easy and comfortable in front of the camera.
Boy, there are a lot of Bieber fans that read Deadline!! Bottom line is, Lorne could've chosen ANY homeless person off the street, and they would've done MUCH better than Bieber did. Every single second of that was painful to watch. Every second. Period.
Act? SNL should be ashamed. None of it was funny. It all catered to the young girls in the audience. Showing his abs and constantly whaling, or i guess what he calls singing. Boy does his voice suck. He sounds like someone is murdering a cat. The whole thing was an embarrassing display.
Whaling? Geez, I'm sorry I missed it.
I don´t think he was bad. He was o.k.
Jennifer Lawrence wasn´t even one step better. Just saying.
And she is a 2 times oscar nominated actress.
Bye Jessica
Bitch you need to take several seats. Bye!
I agree — she was awful too.
Totally agree. She was awful as was Adam Levine. Justin is 19. He was really good I thought. And the "Glice" sketch was hysterical.
Nikki is just a bully. And I am completely enjoying the tweets anout you and your 'opinions' on Twitter tonight. He was fine. Also, please learn the difference between 'skit' & 'sketch'. You and Rex Reed deserve each other. You've become a poster child for cruelty lately and I will no longer read your blogs and tweets.
Nikki, PLEASE tell me Bieber's 15 minutes of fame are just about up! I don't know how many more attempts of him "acting" I can be force-fed before my head spontaneously explodes. All the people on here saying he can "act" are clearly his mother. She should get some rest, since her fingers must be tired from all the typing…
15 minutes of fame? HAHAHAHAH you're hilarious! Justin isn't going anywhere and he was amazing on SNL
i wanted you to be right, but instead i was pleasantly surprised with his performance. good job JB!
Bieber was stiff and uncomfortable in almost every sketch.
Almost EVERY host has appeared stiff and uncomfortable in nearly every sketch…even the regular players…since 1975. They rarely look each other in the eyes because they are reading cue cards for chrissake. I don't know what's jammed up Nikki's kazoo but I think Justin Bieber did a respectable job. Far better than many seasoned performers who've crashed and burned when hosting SNL.
Proof??? Like we needed it. It wasn't good, but wasn't that bad…he is not an actor after all. Niki comes across has some hate filled bitch though…but again we knew that already
I was disappointed. Expected more from him.
Or are you jealous that he is rich hot famous and CAN ACT!!!! Stop hating on him cause you only anger beliebers and make us sad. Go to twitter and type in #BieberOnSNL and see how many comments and read them. And rewatch it again kay thanks. ;)
It frightens me that people like you also have the right to vote.
Well, the Internet has given a voice to everyone…..the price has to be paid, I guess……
Maybe he should've smoked a blunt before to loosen up. Unfortunately, he's "never gonna do it again." Never say never, Justin. At least you've still got the Xanax and promethazine.
The only reason why I even watched this episode was because I love SNL more than I hate JB. In EVERY sketch, his only way to be "funny" was by singing, dancing, and showing off his "cute" features to teenage girls. Not very impressing, or good for that matter.
Justin can't act at all. That was just painful. He tried, he did what they told him, he was professional. But he simply can't act. And can't be funny. There was not a single laugh from his performance.
I agree. He wasn't really that funny and he could've tried a little harder with his acting. Eh, you know what they say, he is a "singer" not an actor.
I was prepared to hate him before watching the clip. However, he wasn't that bad. I've certainly seen worse on this show.
And Nikki:
I think the only thing that is awful, are your post.
Bye Jessica
you're so right Nicki,,,,,that little girl is the worst,,,,won't her 15 minutes ever end??!!
Sarcasm, surely.
From Suzy I mean
Sorry… I must agree with Nikki… Bieber is cringe worthy. I couldn't watch SNL…. turned it off after a few minutes.
Anyone who says JB showed be can act on SNL must be a teenage girl obsess with him. He was awful and if you watch SNL regularly, you could tell by the cast members faces in the sketch with him that they too thought he was terrible. Where Beiber shines is signing and you could see he was much more comfortable performing his music versus acting in the show. Not everyone is a triple threat and that's totally okay. He can sing and dance – has made a ton of money doing that. Maybe he should just leave acting to the pros.
Oh FYI – the rude comment left about the difference between a sketch and a skit… calm down. Speaking from personal experience, sketch and skit are commonly interchanged in the world of improv. Perhaps spend a little time at some improv studios before you respond with a post that's just plain wrong.
He can't even sing. At least he shines at copying JT, Usher and MJ's dance moves! Bitch bye!
keep on hating, where is that going to get you?
Lindsay Lohan was out of the park bad. I've seen nothing that compares to that mess. JB is young impressionable precocious doing a pitiful attempt to talk colloquially out of his demographic. He's a kid that drives a lamborghini and dates women who look like his baby sitter. The kid doesn't believe the image and looks lost behind the "curtain" So to me JB just looked like a kid that was pulled out of the audience to act like JB
Much like Jennifer Lwarence but he doesn't pretend to be talented!
Well, he can't sing either. Luckily his target audience doesn't really care if he can do either anyway.
He was awful–Just ask any of us who work on the show. He was rude, dismissive, and late to all rehearsals.
Also, lots of people who were at the read thru on Wednesday said he cannot read.
I have no idea if you are truly an 'insider' , but wasn't similar heard from cast members after his CSI appearance? SNL has been going down hill for a while, but, sorry Justin fans, this was particularly bad because of his efforts or lack there of. Really cringe worthy and embarrassing.
wow I thought it was me..he seemed arrogant even for a star! and I thought he was the worst host yet..what happened to his music ? Is it always rigged when its recorded? as live he really sucked!
I wonder what Rex Reed thinks about this?
Having been blessedly unexposed to this teen phenomonen until now, I tuned in to see what all the fuss is about. He is very comfortable in front of an audience. A few years doing live shows will do that to almost anyone. What I found most disturbing was his appropriation of the language rhythms and speech of young inner city black men as his own. Where was he raised, Detroit? This brazen artificial street cred was ridiculous and insulting. Why doesn't anyone call him on it?
I did bring it up in my post earlier. By the way Whoopi did not seem all that into the evening
Biebers performance was awkward, he came off nasty and very narcissitic. The singer was agonizing to watch.

http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/salmon_chowder.htmlFrom EatingWell: September/October 2009
The flavor of this salmon chowder is greatly enhanced by adding either fresh dill or dried tarragon: each herb lends its own distinctively different and appealing character to the soup. Even if you don't keep instant mashed potatoes in your pantry, it's worth picking some up for this soup. They give the soup a thick, chowder texture without any heavy cream or butter. Leftover mashed potatoes work too, but give a slightly less-velvety texture.

Sporting stakes / rules
What is there to win?
The rules are the bible for a sporting competition. Through their balance and subtleties they must ensure equality, motivate the riders and help spectators and viewers to understand the event. Here is an outline of the main points in the rules
Download the rules (pdf, 40 pages, 904 ko)
The Stakes
Whether leaders of a team or merely a team-mate, the riders on the Tour de France try to excel, either individually or as a team. According to the stage profiles, changes in the general standings or some unexpected circumstance during the race, each rider adapts his objectives to the situation. The winners of the various prizes eventually share the honours and the money at stake with their team-mates. Enough to make (almost!) everybody happy.
Stage victory
Les 20 stages and 1 prologue Tour de France 20120are divided up as follows: 9 flat stages, 4 hilly stages with 1 summit finish, 5 mountain stages with 2 high-altitude finishes and 2 individual time-trial stages.
Prize money: € 8,000 to the winner of each stage (€ 475,000 in total).
The stage victory has been sponsored by .
The Yellow Jersey
It is worn by the leader of the general individual time classification.
Prize money: € 450,000 for the outright winner (€ 1,000,000 in total).
The Yellow Jersey has been sponsored by since 1987.
The Green Jersey
It is worn by the leader of the points classification. The points can be won on intermediate sprints and at stage finishes.
Prize money: € 25,000 for the outright winner (€ 125,000 in total).
The Green Jersey has been sponsored by since 1992.
The Red Polka Dot Jersey
It is worn by the best climber. Points for best climber classification are awarded at the top of any classified slope.
Prize money: € 25,000 for the outright winner (€ 107,000 in total).
The Polka Dot Jersey has been sponsored by .
The White Jersey
It is worn by the best young rider aged 25 years or less in the general individual time classification.
Prize money: € 20,000 for the outright winner (€ 65,000 in total).
The White Jersey has been sponsored by since 2004.
Most aggressive rider
This distinction is awarded at the end of each stage by a jury made up of eight cycling specialists. An outright winner is designated after the last stage of the Tour.
Prize money: € 20,000 for the outright winner (€ 56,000 in total).
The Most aggressive rider Prize has been sponsored by since 2005.
The team classification
This classification is determined by adding the times of the best three riders of each squad in each stage.
Prize money: € 50 000 € for the winning team (€ 178,000 in total).
The team classification has been sponsored by .
Best climber classification: double points for the final climb
Since the 2004 edition of the Tour de France, the competition for the Red Polka Dot Jersey includes a detail that adds a certain amount of spice to the race: for the final climb on a stage's profile, the points are doubled for Category 1, Category 2 and Top Category climbs. So the riders who lead this classification are undoubtedly the most courageous ones and the prize goes to those who remain out in front in this classification for the longest period of time.
Helmets must be worn at all times
All riders must wear a helmet for the entire duration of each stage and on each stage.
Falls in the last three kilometres
As has been the case since 2005, riders involved in a fall in the last three kilometres of a stage are given the same finishing time as the group which they belonged to. This rule is not applicable in time-trial stages and stages that finish at the summit of a climb.

Pfister is a German car manufacturer mentioned in the 3D Universe and featured in the HD Universe.
Pfister is heavily inspired by Porsche AG. The badge is shaped after a shield divided between a red and a gold section, just like Porsche's iconic logo (the latter being based on the Stuttgart coat of arms). The logo font also closely resembles the one formally used by Porsche.
The only Pfister-badged cars seen in the series are the Comet and the later-introduced 811. There are, however, two tuner cars in Chinatown Wars that use modified versions of the Comet as their primary body, the 500 XLR8 and the Style SR, likely referencing the works of manufacturers like RUF or Gemballa which are notorious for only using Porsche chassis as basis for their cars.
Pfister Design posters and articles can be seen in certain stores in GTA V, referencing the Porsche Design Group. A Pfister Design store can be found in Rockford Hills, mirroring the existence of a real-life Porsche Design store in Beverly Hills. The player can purchase Pfister-branded polo-shirts and watches in GTA Online .

- "Pfister" is another piece of adult humour by Rockstar, as its pronunciation is similar to "fister", thus alluding to the sexual practice of fisting.
- In GTA San Andreas, a Hispanic female pedestrian will sometimes ask "Have you ever driven a Pfister?" when in a conversation with a pedestrian. Other pedestrians may also ask "Is that a Pfister?" when complimenting CJ's car. This could mean that the brand was planned to be introduced before GTA IV with the scrapped system of vehicle brands (as seen in carcols.dat).
- In GTA V, whenever the player buys a pink car from a website, the car will be "Pfister Pink" instead of "Hot Pink".
- The announcement image for the Pfister 811, presented on the Rockstar Newswire, follows a design pattern often seen in modern Porsche adverts: image over a white background, the slogan in black, the name of the car in smaller grey letters under the slogan, a small description near the image and the logo in the bottom (example).

Blazers snag W
The Kamloops Blazers avoided losing three-straight WHL games with a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Giants at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Colin Smith brought his goal total to 19, tallying twice in support of winning netminder Cole Cheveldave, who made 26 saves.
Payton Lee made 29 saves in Vancouver's crease.
Both Regina and Saskatoon came from behind to beat the Blazers earlier this week — and the Giants gave Kamloops fans another scare late in Saturday's tilt.
At the midway mark of the final frame, Carter Popoff was credited with a goal after a puck he last touched deflected in off the skate of recently acquired Blazer forward Charles Inglis.
The Giants had several chances to tie the game, but Cheveldave was able to shut the door.
Kamloops (20-6-1-1) does not play again until Friday, Nov. 30, when the Tri-City Americans are in town.
Vancouver (7-17) is hosting Moose Jaw on Wednesday, Nov. 28

I use my iphone to email clients when I am out and about. I have removed the standard email signature from that says emailed from my Iphone.
What is the point of letting people know which brand of smart phone I am using. It it this just showing off? Emailed from my Ipad is the one that really annoys me. Why just don't just say emailed from my mobile device? So please understand the short response.
Am I looking too much into this? Should I put back the standard Iphone signature?
What would be good business etiquette email signature when emailing from a mobile device?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
sent from my XXX
I think there are two reasons this is done:-
1, The 'phone manufacturers want to promote their products and put the default "sent from my xxx" which appears semi automatically.
2. Most people are too lazy to change it.
Having said that, I did change mine to "sent from my mobile" largely in order to advise people "I'm not at my desk so I can't reply in detail, but here's my quick response".
Agree with Hansa....
I have done much the same....felt a little odd detailing what make of phone i was sending from....just changed to mobile so client understood i may not have access to all information/able to make comprehensive reply.
Justsotax ....
.... and Hansa have indicated the benefit - it makes it clear that the person is probably away from their desk so unable to access certain resources. It also allows one to be a little more brief than they might otherwise be, without appearing to be rude.
Also, not all content on incoming messages may be accessible.
I prefer the "sent from my mobile brick" signature.
Cos Act
Just as a side point if you are a ltd co, no matter if you put emailed for xxx or not you will still need the company number, reg office etc to comply with cos act, so i have changed mine to be tyhe same as my office signature but with the added "sent from my mobile", for reasons mentioned above.

The highly anticipated launch of Zandra Lim's Ready to Wed Collection happened last 23rd of June 2015 at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, and I got an exclusive sneak peek at these stunning RTW bridal gowns.
Once upon a time, it's easier to pick up a list of wedding suppliers. Effortlessly. However, gone are the days when Fairy Godmother will come to the rescue to magically flick for a beautiful gown and makeover needs. Over the years, the wedding industry has grown to an empire which makes it more stressful to sort out which one fits the style and budget of the couple's big day.
Weddings are celebrated as one of the grandest in Filipino culture. There's nothing more overwhelming and fascinating than planning a perfect union of two hearts in love.
While the journey to the altar will keep the lovebirds more than busy with wedding planning, some merely borderlines to being bridezilla or groomzilla, demanding stress over their own wedding. Here's a tip, don't overthink it, just let it be. Let your new beginnings usher in good vibes.
Here's an impressive display of wedding gowns to inspire bride-to-be's in choosing their own Fairy Godmother. Beyond catalogs, we trailed down best photographers in town for real brides in their custom-made wedding gowns.
We'll kicked off the wedding month with Philippines' Top Wedding Gown Designers. Here are the best of the best which I narrowed down to ten considering the abundance of established and up and coming Filipino Designers. Ergo, part deux soon!
Singapore's entertainment and shopping haven celebrates fashion and the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S4 with LTE with a traffic-stopping runway show right in the midst of Orchard Road. On 4th of May 2013, nearly 170 models swagger in style at the annual longest road catwalk as they showcased the latest Spring/Summer collections from local and international brands.
When we were planning about our wedding, one of the things we have to decide was whether to have a black tie event or stick with the local barong tagalog for men. It was tough to pick between the two as they both have an edge over another.
For a black suit event, I love the idea of having little boys donning their stylish suit with their cute bows. My friend had even suggested to have a themed boys ties. It was a brilliant idea indeed, since I know of where to have boys ties personalized. I can even pick a silk or colored one that matches our color motif. A perfect accessory to complement the little men's outfit.
Awww… who can't resist cute boys? *giggles*
In the end, we decided to pull off a Barong Tagalog event since most of our guests don't own a suit. Oh sad, no cute boys ties but at least my groom was elegant with his pink tie. 🙂
Celebrity Weddings are always a girl's secret dream. From the extravagant details, the fairytale wedding gown, the lush flower arrangements that filled a garden venue and of course a dapper groom in his tuxedo.
Here are some celebrity wedding style and bride's dresses to inspire you on making your own hollywood glam to life. Celebrity Wedding Dresses are sought after by bride-to-be's and among those who stand-out are influential designers like Vera Wang, Monique Lhuiller, Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta.

you said it yourself, you are bad with QTE's..ok, that could cause some problems for you but failing a QTE because you paused the game to answer your phone is not a legitimate problem with the game...it's a very very small inconvenience at best.
and my problem with your post was you make it sound like the QTE's are bad because maybe just maaaybe you'd have to answer your phone and pause the game and because of that the reaction window to the QTE should have been longer. Sorry, but that makes no sense. QTE's are supposed to be immediate and you have to have quick reflexes to succeed.

If you were fighting something I can see that working, but for cutscenes I never really saw the point. The few games that made QTE work was Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead game. As someone else mentioned, the QTE seems like a punishment for just wanting to watch the cutscenes. IMO it interrupts the enjoyment of the cutscenes, since you have to constantly stare at screen, instead of sitting back and enjoying the movies being played. If the direction RE is headed is to have more QTEs then I think they should just get rid of the cutscenes entirely. If the purpose of those scenes are suppose to test my reaction time, I would prefer if they stuck it in the gameplay only.

well i'm not that big a fan of QTE myself, but the point in cutscenes is not taking away control. Sure, some would rather just watch the cutscene and go back to gameplay afterwards...i'm inclined to agree with that, although it really depends.
As for gameplay, in RE you shake off zombies, turn cranks, hammer someones face with x etc etc..wich in my book still constitutes as gameplay..I don't think there where cutscenes that had some sort of QTE..if it did, then i guess that's saying they integrated it well enough. (all just my opinion)..
If you complain about there are too many QTE's,maybe try to not get caught by a zombie (not always possible i know) and if they are too fast for you to pick up your phone..well, then finish the QTE, press pause and pick up the damn phone....It's not rocket science.

A woman from Helston has been given a 12 month conditional discharge by Truro Magistrates after being found guilty of housing benefit fraud totalling £5,497.45.
Katey Jane (43) of Ruan Minor, Helston initially pleaded not guilty to two counts of benefit fraud at Truro Magistrates Court on Friday 26 April.
The charges included failing to promptly report to Cornwall Council that she was in receipt of increased earnings and increased awards of Tax Credits.
The case was then adjourned for a trial to take place at Truro Magistrates Court on Wednesday 12 June.
After hearing the facts of the case and evidence from witnesses, the Bench found Miss Jane guilty of both offences of failing to promptly notify Cornwall Council of increases in earnings and increases in tax credits and sentenced her to a 12 month conditional discharge. She was also ordered to pay £500 towards the Council's investigation and legal costs.
The overpaid benefits are being recovered from Miss Jane by Cornwall Council separately from this Court action.
Cornwall Council operates a confidential fraud hotline on freephone 0800 7316125.

It's been a long time coming, but HBO Go is finally arriving on Xbox 360 on April 1, 2012, just in time for the season two premiere of Game of Thrones. Hells. Yes.
HBO's Co-president, Eric Kessler, made the announcement yesterday during an HBO event in San Francisco, reports Engadget. Come April 1st, you'll be able to watch basically every series, movie and special HBO has ever put out through your Xbox 360 as long as you're an Xbox Live Gold member and subscriber to HBO through your cable provider.
Sure, it's a lot of hoops to jump through to get HBO Go up and running on your Xbox 360, but the convenience factor of having everything HBO offers at your finger tips surely outweighs the checklist of requirements necessary to enjoy the service. So mark your calendar for April 1st, because winter (and a lot of other awesome shit) is coming to Xbox 360 on that day.

Nonfarm payrolls missed consensus. That is the last thing the market needs to hear as it tries to recover from Thursday's brutal selloff that everyone saw coming.
Depending on who you ask, jobs day is crazy important or a waste of time. To me, jobs day is still crazy important as a good deal of my coverage area --the consumer -- trades on employment figures (among zillions of other factors). But given no change in Fed policy probably until Janet Yellen speaks at Jackson Hole shortly (her recent comments on overvalued asset prices suggest the Jackson Hole speech could be uncharacteristically hawkish), jobs day is just another one in which the market opens and Twitter explodes with pundit commentary and charts.
I think to really invest properly you have to take an analysis of the employment market to the most micro of levels, somewhat putting today's miss in the rearview mirror. Take for example what I did yesterday using the Bloomberg terminal on the Las Vegas employment market. Gambling revenues in Las Vegas are starting to recover nicely. The state of affairs is so far removed from the bust that is Atlantic City. Nonfarm payrolls in Las Vegas have increased sequentially in four of the past five months. In turn, casino operators are being able to pass along room rate increases and bask in the financial benefits of new dining and entertainment experience options. If you look at the year-to-date stock performance of this particular sector, it's dreadful. There may be an opportunity there in a name or two.
Three More Things on Whole Foods
Read this earnings call three times. I am straight crushing on the release because Whole Foods (WFM) is a best-in-class operator with the second-worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 this year. There has to be an opportunity for long-term patient investors, but not right now. Here are a three things to keep in mind.
- Ten quarters in a row where retail prices increases have been less than cost increases (not good).
- Over the next year, the company will refresh about 200 stores, adding zones (juice bars) or just making the environment more visually appealing. New remodels are receiving a nice boost in same-store sales.
- Save the date. The company will announce a home delivery deal on Sept. 1, which may excite some investors.
Keep an Eye On
Symantec (SYMC) has climbed about 5% in the past months. Earnings are next week. I interviewed the chief operating officer last week, so the entire story is fresh in my mind. I'm not expecting a blowout quarter, but not sure if the market even expects much.

6 October, Saturday
We had good news at the end of yesterday, they had the pipe, all they had to do was modify it slightly to work. Normally Cummins is a 5 day work week, not Sat or Sun. However our tech said he would like to come in and finish our coach and get us on the road. That is above and beyond, but he said he started the project and wanted to finish it. So at 0700 we were up and ready for David to appear. He soon arrived and started to work. We left so we would not be a bother in the coach. If you remember we visited the Farmers Market, well there is a great restuarant there.
So up for breakfast we went. The inside was huge with great murals painted on the walls and ceiling. The food was extremely good, hot, tasty and reasonable in price. If we were back in Atlanta for any reason I would try to stop by again.
Got back to the coach and David was running tests on the air system and electrical systems. He stated we were extremelly lucky that no other damage was done. The extreme heat can melt wires and harnesses. We were lucky. He finished at 1030 and we pulled out of the Cummin's lot at 1100. We stopped just after we pulled out. David pulled up beside and was worried something was wrong. Told him we just had to program the GPS units. He was relieved.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN, headed towards Florida. Had planned to stop for the night at Valdosta but was too early. We continued on into Florida to Lake City. Found a very nice campground called Casey Jones and settled in for the night.

A friction burn occurs when skin is scraped off by contact with
surfaces such as roads, carpets, or other hard floor surfaces. It usually is
both a scrape (abrasion) and a heat burn.
Friction burns are often seen in athletes who fall on floors,
courts, tracks, or artificial turfs. Motorcycle or bicycle riders who have road accidents while
not wearing protective clothing may get friction burns.
Friction burns can occur on any part of the body but these types of
scrapes usually affect bony areas, such as the hands, forearms, elbows, knees,
or shins. Scrapes are usually more painful than cuts because scrapes tear a
larger area of skin and expose more nerve endings. Scrapes on the head or face
may appear worse than they are and bleed a lot because of the ample blood
supply to this area.
The seriousness of the injury can be determined after the bleeding
is controlled. The friction burn should be cleaned and any dirt or debris
removed to prevent infections.

The first Cabernet Classic organized by Seattle Uncorked wine club is in the history books. The Cabernet Classic, a benefit for Center for Contemporary Art (CoCA), was held at the Shilshole Bay Beach Club on October 28. 37 wineries were pouring over 70 wines, nearly all wines poured were Washington wines.
My initial tasting strategy was to sip from wineries that have been on my radar lately, Washington wines that I had been hearing abou. Soon that strategy changed into seeking sips of the more high end wines that I would want to taste before investing in, no matter the winery that produced the wine. That strategy was also doomed as I began to talk to those pouring wine, including winemakers. As I made my way around the room, it became clear that I had no coherent strategy, which in itself is a strategy, one I will refer to as either stochastic sipping or tumultuous tasting.
During the time my strategy was devolving, I tasted nine wines before my tongue also devolved. One of the standouts for me was Milbrandt Vineyards Sentinel 2006 Red, Washington State. This is the inaugural release of the Sentinel series focusing on a single vineyard to show off terroir. Each year, Milbrandt decides which of their vineyards produced the best fruit of the harvest and designate the fruit from that vineyard to be the Sentinel. Although all the fruit comes from one vineyard it is not a field blend. Each fruit is vinted separately and then blended.
The selection for the first year is North Ridge Vineyard, part of the Wahluke Slope AVA in eastern Washington. This is a Cabernet blend that also includes Merlot, Petit verdot, Malbec, and Petit Syrah. The fruit is restrained on the nose and the palette, but there is no doubt that black current is present. The tannins are smooth, buoyed by good acid. All of this resulted in a balanced and enjoyable wine. This is a wine I want to pair with food, not to smooth out something out of whack, but to enhance the food. The price tag of $55, however, means that it will be a special occasion when I have fun pairing this wine.
Another memorable wine was Windy Point 2006Pointless Red, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet franc. The fruit was present on the nose, but not overwhelming. The aroma was thoroughly enjoyable. When I finally sipped this red blend, I was greeted by more fruit, predominantly cherry, with a slight pepper kick – a pepper that was a bit cayenne-like. The tannins were slightly grippy and the acid held its own. This wine also had me dreaming of food pairing. Priced under $20, for me it is a good value for a delightful cab blend.
The truth of my tumultuous tasting strategy was apparent when I found myself with a pour of Cabernet Franc. At first, I wondered why this varietal was present on its own and not just a blend. Wasn't the event about Cabernet Sauvignon? Then I realized that 'Sauvignon' was not in the event title. Any varietal with 'Cabernet' as part of its name belongs. There is an even more important reason for including Cabernet Franc. This varietal is one of the progenitors of Cabernet Sauvignon.
"Once upon a time in a land far away Cabernet Franc met Sauvignon Blanc . . . ." Viola! Without Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon would not exist.
The Shilshole Bay Beach Club venue worked fairly well for the Cabernet Classic. Checking in was smooth and painless. The layout of the wineries was functional and allowed for circular flow ending at a table with all the wines available for purchase. Tall tables were scattered about providing leaning and conversational space. The event was a fundraiser for CoCA, Center for Contemporary Art, therefore, several artists and their work were interwoven with the wineries. As the evening progressed the venue became more crowded making movement harder but nothing a few polite requests could not overcome.
Towards the end of my visit I wished for a place to sit down to finish my note taking but could not find any chairs. For me these events are not only the chance to taste wines but to talk with others about wine and the event itself. The handful of others I spoke to were pleased with the event and enjoyed the food – mushroom and butternut squash risotto with polenta bread.
Will the Cabernet Classic be repeated? I certainly hope so. Perhaps it will be an annual event and in 20 years I will be holding a pour of Cabernet Veltliner.

The patience test of winter is sort of over. Yesterday, walking was replaced by running. On the blog: http://rungentlyoutthere.com/?p=148
First run in four months... finally.
Good news, John! Run gently out there.
And thanks for a great book!
Glad to hear you are running again, John.
Delays happen to most of us as we age.
A year ago I developed a knee problem and a sports physician told me "you lasted longer than most people" as if he believed that running was a self-destructive behavior (quickly got new doctor).
My last laugh is to have worked past the injury, built strength, and gotten back on the trails with no pain. Maybe not as fast or as long as before, but we're out there doing it.
Yesterday, walking was replaced by running.
Good to hear. Are there any races on your calendar this year, running or volunteering?

Thank you -- right now I am happy just to get out and run. We are waiting to see what the park job is this year. Normally I work Fri/Sat/Sun from (usually) some time soon through the Friday after Labor Day. I am going up to Chuckanut next Friday for the expo, hope to make White River 50. hope for one of the 50k things over near Spokane late... thank you for asking.
What do you have planned for the... not even spring yet... rest of the year (and maybe send PM to tell me who you are).
Good to hear you're starting to run again, John. Achilles issues can be a pain.

APC has brought up a very valid point about Vista's prominent new security feature: User Account Control (UAC). They are using TweakVista as an example to show how easy it would be for malicious software to disable the UAC and manipulate the system.
TweakVista is an application that was designed several months ago for Vista 5270. It has several different customization options that may help you have a more pleasant experience, but at the same time it shows us how the UAC feature can be disabled in one simple click.
Microsoft's response the the issue was:
If an application requires administrative privilege, such as Tweak Vista, a prompt is generated through User Access Control (UAC). If consent is given by the user, this then elevates the application to a higher (administrative) integrity level and allows privileged access to occur within the context of that application only. Note that for this to occur, the UAC prompt requires that a user must provide consent before the application will be allowed to run. UAC is only one component of the defence in depth security capabilities of Vista. It is the sum of all Vista's security capabilities – UAC, IE7, Firewall, Defender, MIC, SID and CI – that protect users from inadvertently obtaining and then allowing malicious software to run. Microsoft recommends that users run with standard user privileges, and that they be very careful when running applications with administrative privileges.
Sure you are prompted for Administrative privileges, but what if you are installing an application? That means you will receive a prompt when you run the installation with administrative privileges…and then the program is free to do what it wants after you okay it. If it wants to disable the UAC in the middle of the installation then it can.
APC's comment on this is:
It confirms what we have come to suspect about UAC – it's very useful for standard users and totally useless for power users/administrators.
That is especially true. If a user doesn't have to enter a password in the elevated prompt then they are pretty much free to do what they want with the system. However, if a user does not know the administrative password, such as at a school or business, then a program would never be able to receive the privileged access that it needs to disable the UAC. So it may be good for some people, but it is still way too easy to disable.
Microsoft needs to change this option so that it can only be altered through the Control Panel. I don't believe this is something that software should be able to tamper with no matter if it is running elevated or not.

If someone does not appear in court, a bench warrant is issued by the court, he said.
The following men ignored their court their date:
m Steven Marshall, 37, 43177 Moore Road, Prairieville. He is wanted on a felony bench warrant for principal to simple burglary of inhabited dwelling and misdemeanor bench warrant for failure to signal, driving without valid driver's license and no seat belt.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Commissioner Bud Selig made it very clear last week that the Rays would be better off in the new waterfront stadium.
But he acknowledged they are doing pretty well right now.
"They've done an amazing job given where they play," Selig told the St. Petersburg Times.
"These people have done an extraordinary job. The drafting has been amazing. I've watched the Rays a lot this year. The more I watch, the more impressed I am."
Selig talks all the time about the importance of increasing "competitive balance," which is a longer way of saying parity. And as much criticism as MLB takes for the huge differential in team payrolls, he has a point as increased revenue sharing and the expanded playoffs have allowed a large number of teams to be competitive.
And you get the sense the Rays, under principal owner Stuart Sternberg, are about to become one of his prime examples.
"These are the new economics. These are the new times. I'm proud of what they've done," Selig told Times colleague Aaron Sharockman on Tuesday. "We have more of what I call competitive balance than ever before. The fact that here we are, almost 60 games into the season, and the Rays are leading their division, that's remarkable. …
"Stu and his group have done a terrific job. I feel really good about where they are."
But he'd feel better if he knew they were going to the new stadium.
"There's no question in my mind the St. Petersburg/Tampa market is a major-league market," Selig said. "They have the demographics. I don't have a concern about the long-term viability of baseball there if we have the proper stadium. But we need the proper stadium. …
"No matter how smart you are, no matter what the situation is, you need a stadium that produces revenues to be competitive."
Draft rumblings
Eighth-round pick 2B Anthony Scelfo of Tulane is a quarterback, starting nine games as a sophomore. … The Rays split their 50 picks well — 25 high schoolers, 25 collegians; 27 pitchers, 23 position players. … 3B Evan Longoria said seventh-round OF Jason Corder, a former Long Beach State teammate, has a "big power bat" and 20th-rounder 2B Jason Tweedy is "an overall solid player." … ESPN.com's Keith Law liked the pick of Tim Beckham No. 1 but didn't rank the Rays in his top five drafts; he had the Giants, who took FSU C Buster Posey, first. … R.J. Harrison said having older brother 2B Jeremy Beckham, drafted 17th, in the system "certainly can't hurt" Tim's transition to the pros: "I think they'll be really good for one another." … OF Ryan Westmoreland, nephew of Rays equipment manager Chris, went 172nd overall to Boston.
Short odds
How the No. 1 shortstops have fared, with all but Bill Almon (Brown Univ.) drafted out of high school:
Year Player, team Career
1968 Tim Foli, Mets Played 16 seasons in the majors but with little impact
1974 Bill Almon, Padres Spent most of 15-season big-league career as a utility guy
1982 Shawon Dunston, Cubs Two-time All-Star played 13 of 18 seasons at short before moving
1990 Chipper Jones, Braves Shortstop thing didn't last, but he certainly has, with 400 HRs
1993 Alex Rodriguez, Mariners Might be game's best-ever player; spent first 10 seasons at short
2004 Matt Bush, Padres Hasn't made it out of Class A ball and already shifted to pitcher
2005 Justin Upton, D'backs Moved to outfield right away and is already an impact hitter
2008 Tim Beckham, Rays The path should start next week in Princeton, W.Va.
Coming up short
Tim Beckham is the eighth shortstop to be taken first overall in the 44 years of the baseball draft (and third in the past five years), and results have been mixed.
The Rays consider Beckham a five-tool player, which means he does all the basics well: hit for average, hit for power, run, throw and field.
Although his hitting is considerably more advanced than his fielding, and at 6-foot-1½ and 192 pounds he could grow out of the position, scouting director R.J. Harrison said the Rays think he has what it takes to stay at shortstop — the physical tools and the personality.
"It takes a different guy to play shortstop at the major-league level," Harrison said. "I give this kid every opportunity to do so."

Brawl rumblings
The combined eight suspensions looks to be the most since a Rangers-Angels tussle in August 2006, though that included a coach and both managers. Thirteen Tigers and White Sox were suspended in April 2000. … As now scheduled, 2B Akinori Iwamura will be suspended for two of the Cubs games, missing chances to play against fellow Japanese star Kosuke Fukudome. … Noted Boston whiner Kevin Youkilis suggested that if teammate Jon Lester got a five-game suspension for not doing "anything," then Rays RHP James Shields deserved 10. … ESPN.com's Buster Olney thought Jonny Gomes deserved a more severe suspension, 6-8 games at least, for coming off the bench and throwing punches.
Rays rumblings
Not to get too far ahead of things, but the Trop might be booked in October, with a home show tentatively set for Oct. 3-5 and an RV show Oct. 17-19. … At the online betting site Sportsbook.com, the Rays went from 100-1 to win the World Series on May 13 to 10-1 Saturday, lower odds — for what has to be the first time ever — than the Yankees (12-1). … Foxsports.com's Jeff Moore suggests the Rays fill their rightfield and leadoff spots by trading RHP Jeff Niemann, INF/OF Eric Hinske and top OF prospect Desmond Jennings to San Diego for Brian Giles, who is 37, hitting .297 and making $9.7-million. … Or maybe Rocco Baldelli, in what would be a remarkable story, comes back by the end of the summer and fills that spot.
Ex-Rays rumblings
Nationals OF Elijah Dukes has irritated someone else, as umpire Doug Eddings took exception to Dukes looking back at, then gesturing toward him (thumping his chest), after hitting a walkoff homer Thursday, and again as he neared the plate. Dukes didn't like a strike call earlier in the at-bat. … Think RHP Seth McClung has stopped talking yet about getting his first two major-league hits off Randy Johnson last week and beating the future Hall of Famer? … The Marlins come to town this week with three ex-Rays in key roles — Mark Hendrickson is 7-3 (though with a 5.33 ERA), Jorge Cantu is playing third and hitting .276 with 10 homers, and Doug Waechter has been a solid middle reliever. Plus, they have former Rays minor-leaguers Paul Hoover, Justin Miller and Joe Nelson, and Tampa's Luis Gonzalez, St. Petersburg College's Alfredo Amezaga and Ridgewood High/University of Tampa's Mike Rabelo.

QuakeCon 2013 has officially begun. Keep tabs on our panels and presentations scheduled to start this afternoon, as well as the 2013 tournament cover through our Twitch.TV/Bethesda and Twitch.TV/QuakeCon feeds.
The Jaeger-meister: id software's Hugo Martin
This Saturday at QuakeCon (and streaming live at Twitch.TV/Bethesda), id Software's art director, Hugo Martin, will be speaking about his career in games and films. If you're not familiar with his work, you need only visit a movie theater and check out (the totally awesome) Pacific Rim. For the film, Martin was part of director Guillermo Del Toro's core concept team.
While in Texas, we had a chance to catch up with Hugo. Read the interview below…
How did you get started as an artist (include brief history of career highlights)?
I studied Illustration at Pratt Institute and Transportation Design at Art Center College of Design.
I started my career as a pose to pose animator and storyboard artist at MTV animation in NYC, but my first true concept job came after that when I worked in the IP development department at Wizards of the Coast. I went on to work at Naughty Dog as a concept artist on Jak X Team Racing and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and then on to Blur Studios doing concept work on a variety of film, commercial, game and animation Projects.
After Blur I decided to go freelance. For 3 1/2 years I worked as a contract concept artist out of my studio and on-site whenever possible — primarily doing design work on films and games — the most notable from that period being of course PACIFIC RIM :).
What was your principle role on Pacific Rim?
I had the privilege and honor of being a part of Guillermo's core concept team. My primary focus was on the design of the Jaegers, and from there I moved on to key frame illustration and then prop designs. I also had the chance to work on the Blade head Kaiju you see fighting Striker Eureka in the film.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Thank you for posting your question on Just Answer! I will be happy to help you with this problem. Can you please give us some more information so I can better answer your questions.
-When you plug it in or turn it on, does it do anything at all? (light blink, click noise, ect.)
-How old is the unit?
Please give me this information and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,
Tim Nolan
it is about 18 months old..it just cut out one day and now there is no sign of any power
There are a couple of things that could cause this, unfortunately there is no reset for this television other than unplugging it. It will have an internal failure at this point. I will try to explain the possibilities the best I can.
First you could have a failure in the power supply, we have seen some capacitors fail in your model and cause funky problems like this. If this is the case you could be looking at somewhere around $175-$200 to fix the set. IF the power supply had to be replaced you could be looking at $250-300
Next could be the main board, this would not be good news because you could be looking at $300-$400 for the repair (I know this is up there in the price range and most likely getting over the cost of a new set)
Any of these could cause your problem, but it will require troubleshooting to determine the exact cause of your problem. If you have experience, and test equipment and would like to attempt some troubleshooting I will be happy to assist you, however if you do not have equipment or experience then you would need a repairman at this time to get an exact diagnosis. I am sorry that I don't have a quick fix or easy answer for you on this one, it is definitely an internal failure.
If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Please never accept an answer until you are 100% satisfied and feel you can leave positive feedback. If I have answered your questions and met your needs then please press the green "accept" button. Otherwise please feel free to ask anything else to get your problem resolved. Positive feedback is always appreciated! Thank you,Tim Nolan
i took it apart and there was a 5amp fuse blown inside !! im suprised you never sugested this!!
The AC fuse?

Nabila Obeid quits being a slayer
Prominent Egyptian actress Nabila Obeid has regretfully backed out from her previous decision to star in the new television drama series "Raya wi Iskeena", which is based on the popular folktale. Despite the fact that the story had really interested her, Nabila stressed that she had to turn down the offer for the leading role for personal reasons and not because the script.
Nabila revealed that she is currently working on a new television drama, but refused to give out any details stressing that talking about a any project in the making phase only hurts it. Work had already began for the preparation of the new television drama "Raya wi Iskeena", in order to have it ready for filming at the end of March 2005.
Scenarist Mustafa Muhram, who has written some of the most popular television dramas this past Ramadan season, revealed that the script is still being prepared and that he had nominated prominent Egyptian actresses Nabila and Nadia Al Jundi, who also turned down her nomination, for the leading roles.
Mustafa had announced that the filming of the drama will take place at the Egyptian Media Production City and that Nadia will play the role of Raya and Nabila the role of Iskeena. The drama, which tells the story of two sisters who murder women and steal their jewelry, is scheduled to be ready for airing during the month of Ramadan, where number of viewers is the highest.
The scenarist had refused the Media Production's nomination of Egyptian actresses Laila Elwi and Elham Shahin for the leading roles, stressing that he will not accept anyone beside Nadia and Nabila, but after the refusal of both woman to accept the roles he is placed in a very tight spot.

A WEDDING photographer ordered to pay compensation and return pictures to a newly married couple has won the right to appeal.
As reported by the Echo in February, John Paine, of Special Occasions in Ashley Cross, was ordered to pay Bianca and Chris Hanley £1,450 compensation, £260.50 legal costs and to hand over a disc containing the photos of their wedding. He was also refused the right to appeal.
However, at a personal oral hearing at Winchester County Court on April 9, a judge ordered that an appeal should be granted. Paine was hired for the pair's wedding on June 8, 2012, and they say they never received their wedding album.
The appeal will be heard at Bournemouth County Court on September 12.

Voler set for Irish Champion
Voler La Vedette is set to take her chance in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 29 if the ground is soft.
By Ian Brindle
Last Updated: 09/01/12 4:09pm
Voler La Vedette is set to take her chance in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 29 if the ground is soft.
Colm Murphy's star mare was destined for a life in the paddocks after last season but failed to get in foal and has been in sparkling form since returning to the racetrack, winning three in a row including the Hatton's Grace Hurdle.
Murphy told skysports.com: "It's a possibility that she'll run in the Irish Champion Hurdle at this stage though a lot will depend on the ground. I'd imagine that if the ground were to come up soft we would let her take her chance.
"We had a great run with her of late and she is in great order. It's unbelievable as she seems to be improving with every run.
"She is still only a young mare and she's at the age where she could still be improving.
"We've had a lot of stop-starts with her in the past due to muscle problems but they seem to be behind her so we've had a straight run with her and haven't had too many hiccups with her."
Murphy also admitted that he could be tempted to run Voler La Vedette at the Cheltenham Festival despite the reservations of her owner.
"Nothing has been written in stone with regard to the David Nicholson race but we will give her an entry and have a look at it. There are lots of options over here between Fairyhouse and Punchestown and we'll decide nearer the time."

We arrived large afternoon and were welcomed by the lovely and extremely helpful caretakers.Having flown in from UK,we had no car,but Katerina drove us to the supermarket.Just as well-barely any toilet paper left on rolls in bathrooms and not so much as a jug of milk in the fridge!Once we were sorted,though,we had a lovely holiday and the chalet is very comfortable.5 minutes from the lifts,15 minute walk into the village.Plenty of snow,in the end,too!Disappointed at having to ask Katerina to unlock the door for tumble drier use,and no washing machine-very necessary with a child on a Winter holiday!
As a family we were very pleased with the accommodation. It had everything we needed including lots of cutlery and crockery etc. It was well laid out and the house was large enough for our family of six. However, you would be rather pushed to accommodate ten people in it, especially in the living\/dining area.\r\nThe road noise could be an issue for some people as the house is right on a very busy main road which has a lot of traffic on it both day and night.\r\nOverall it was a lovely chalet with very friendly\/ helpful owners and we had the most wonderful two weeks holiday in the Austrian Tirol.
We were very happy with this fabulous Chalet. It is about a 15 minute walk into the great town of St Johann which is a very pretty place full of great restuarants and shops. The chalet is newly builted - its so fabulous - much money has been spent on it as all the contents are off a great standard and it was so well equipped that we didnt want to return home!

De accomodatie was/is super. De beheerders waren erg vriendelijk.
Omgeving was/is prachtig
Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder. Das Haus wirkt auf den Fotos grösser als es wirklich ist, war für uns aber völlig in Ordnung.Haus war super sauber.Die Betreuung durch die Verwalter vor Ort ist spitze. Sehr netter Empfang bei der Anreise. Sehr gute Küchenausstattung.
de accommodatie, de ligging, de inrichting zijn heel goed en gezellig. een kamer met 4 volwassene is wel krap. het oudere echtpaar is ongeschikt als huisbewaarder, niet flexibel en mopperig. we voelden ons met 6 volwassenen, 1 kind van 4 en 1 kind van 1.5 niet echt welkom. we durfden de houten eettafel bijna niet te gebruiken ivm kringen.

Increased competition by big names like Apple and Samsung has played a major role in causing the electronics giant to lose its lead. Furthermore, March's devastating earthquake and tsunami have hurt Sony's production, and cyber attacks on its PlayStation network have hurt its image. But the electronics giant predicts it will return to profit after boosting sales by more than 4 per cent in the coming year. Azhar Sukri reports.Source: Al Jazeera
