Wal-Mart Opens Second Eco-friendly Supercenter
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- There's new life for an old airport runway and vegetable oil used to fry chicken, at Wal-Mart's new experimental store in Aurora, Colo., the second of the retailer's test concept.
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- There's new life for an old airport runway and vegetable oil used to fry chicken, at Wal-Mart's new experimental store in Aurora, Colo., the second of the retailer's test concept.
More than 500 tons of Denver Stapleton Airport's runway, crushed up and recycled, was used in the store's foundation. To help heat the store, Wal-Mart will burn used vegetable oil from its deli and used motor oil from its Tire and Lube Express.
In addition to being better for the environment, the new supercenter will offer a full line of groceries, bakery goods, deli foods, meat and dairy products, fresh produce, a Tire Lube and Express, and a vision center. It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Wal-Mart wants to be a leader in corporate responsibility for the environment and our shareholders," said Pat Curran, e.v.p. of Wal-Mart Stores USA, in a statement. "We want to continue our efforts and education about environmental sustainability and how it applies to our business. We believe that being a good steward of the environment and operating an efficient and profitable business are not mutually exclusive."
Wal-Mart objectives in building and running the duo of experimental units (the first opened this past summer in McKinney, Texas) is to see how it can reduce the amount of energy and natural resources required to construct, operate and maintain such facilities.
Of the project, Wal-Mart's president and c.e.o., Lee Scott, said in a recent speech that Wal-Mart is committed to building a new prototype that will be 25-30 percent more efficient and produce 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than current stores, within the next four years. "This store in Aurora will test over 50 different experiments to help us evaluate some technologies that will help us achieve that goal," noted Don Moseley, director of experimental stores.
Some of the key experiments include solar and wind power, waste oil boilers, porous pavements, radiant floor heating that will help keep pedestrian areas clear of snow, and unique fabric duct air systems to heat and cool the building efficiently. There will also be a tall grass prairie on site and a place to welcome RV visitors as they stop off I-70.
Wal-Mart said it has contracted with the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) of Golden, Colo., to provide monitoring, testing, and analysis on store systems and materials, based on national scientific measurements and standards, for a period of three years. "We will share our lessons learned from this store with others in the industry so that we all can learn and the environment can benefit from these technologies becoming more mainstream," Moseley said.

Swiss by birth and a clergyman by training, Fuseli came to London in 1764 and worked as a translator and book illustrator. Encouraged by Reynolds to take up painting, he went to Rome in 1770. On his return in 1779, he exhibited works of great power and imagination; his inclination towards the fantastic was given scope in his paintings for Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery and his own Milton Gallery. This portrait was painted in Rome by Northcote who was also studying there.

This is the fourth straight year I've done a story on the making of the NFL schedule. Each year, I speak to the four-person team of schedule-makers, led by NFL broadcasting and schedule czar Howard Katz, after the hay is in the barn . . . sometime late in the day after the schedule is finalized.
But this year, I feared the jig was up. At 12:22 a.m. on Monday, Katz emailed to say there was a long way to go before the schedule would be finished—and he wasn't feeling very confident. On Monday afternoon, the scheduling team presented to Roger Goodell one iteration of the tens of thousands spewed from nearly 400 computers that looked quite good; Goodell thought the schedule was good enough to play, but also thought three teams' slates had minor flaws, and that the Los Angeles TV schedule had holes. Back to work. On Tuesday at 11:05 p.m., a few hours after returning from the funeral for Pittsburgh owner Dan Rooney, Katz sounded even more pessimistic about an optimal schedule getting done in time for the projected 8 p.m. ET Thursday release.
But a breakthrough happened while the schedule-makers slept. At 2:21 a.m. on Wednesday, schedule number 52,129 shot out of a computer and fixed the four problems Katz & Co. hadn't been able to get over—making three team schedules less arduous, and giving the Los Angeles market better doubleheader games.
"Making the schedule is always a balance," says senior director of broadcasting Mike North, who has worked on the annual three-month schedule marathon for 19 years. "In this case, how much of what we liked about the schedule could be kept intact by addressing teams X, Y and Z, plus the TV games with the two L.A. teams now? In this

Key Sections of Gorbachev Speech Given to Party Conference
Published: June 29, 1988
Following are key sections of the speech Mikhail S. Gorbachev delivered yesterday in Moscow, as distributed in translation by the Soviet press agency Tass:
We are facing many intricate questions. But which one of them is the crucial one? As the C.C. C.P.S.U. sees it, the crucial one is that of reforming our political system.
The Central Committee has expounded its platform in the theses for the conference. We did not intend to give ready-made answers to all matters. We figured that new ideas and proposals would arise in the course of the discussion, and that the conference take them into account. Its decisions then would really be a collective achievement of the whole party and people.
It follows that the political objective of our conference is to examine the period after the April 1985 C.C. plenum and the 27th congress of the C.P.S.U. comprehensively and critically, to enrich the strategy and specify the tactics of our changes, and define the ways, means and methods that would assure the steady advancement and irreversibility of our perestroika, and to do so in the spirit of Lenin's traditions and with reference to available experience. Improving Food Supplies
It seems to me that the search for ways of improving food supplies must continue everywhere, and notably in those regions and republics where the situation has not changed or is improving too slowly. This should be done with the involvement of all people, based on a thorough-going analysis of the state of agriculture.
On what aspects must attention be concentrated? Experience shows that the shortest and most dependable way of achieving the desired output of food is broad introduction everywhere of lease arrangements and other effective forms of organizing and stimulating labor. That is the key element of the current agrarian policy.
The results achieved by collectives that have lease or contractual arrangements have proved that crop yields and animal productivity can be raised in a relatively short time, that labor productivity can be substantially heightened, that losses can be reduced, and that farm products can be of good quality. Precisely this experience, comrades, yields the answer to the main question, that of how soon the country can resolve the food problem. Everything depends on how quickly we can arouse people's interests and promote the work of contractual and lease collectives, on how broadly we enlist farmers in this process and make them true masters on the farm. Changing Managerial Forms
We are running into undisguised attempts at perverting the essence of the reform, at filling the new managerial forms with old content. All too often, ministries and departments depart from the letter and spirit of the law on enterprises, with the result, as many economists admit, that it is not being fully carried out.
This is borne out by how plans of enterprises for the current year were worked out, with the previous system of obligatory production quotas being, In effect, sustained under the guise of state orders. This is nothing but abuse on the part of the ministries in the absence of requisite control, or in some cases the result of condonement, by the state planning committee and standing organs of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers.
And what is most intolerable is that enterprises are being compelled by means of state orders to manufacture goods that are not in demand, compelled for the simple reason that they want to attain the notorious ''gross output'' targets. Fiat of this sort was practiced even in the case of such large enterprises as the Urals engineering works, the Altai agricultural machinery works, the Kurgan tractor works and the Baku tire plant, to say nothing of the mass of medium-sized and small enterprises.
Oh, how many faithful servants we have of ''gross output''!
Need I say that this is wholly contrary to the sense of the reform, that it amounts to conservation of managerial methods that have driven our economy into a dead-end.
Nevertheless, while drawing lessons from the past, we have to acknowledge that command methods of administration did not spare the field of foreign policy either. it sometimes happened that even decisions of vital importance were taken by a narrow circle of people without collective, comprehensive examination or analysis, on occasion without properly consulting friends either. this led to an inadequate reaction to international events and to the policies of other states, if not to mistaken decisions. unfortunately, the cost of this to the people and the implications of this or that course of action were not always weighed up.
In response to the nuclear challenge to us and to the entire socialist world it was necessary to achieve strategic parity with the U.S.A. and this was accomplished. But, while concentrating enormous funds and attention on the military aspect of countering imperialism, we did not always make use of the political opportunities opened up by the fundamental changes in the world in our efforts to assure the security of our state, to scale down tensions, and promote mutual understanding between nations. as a result, we allowed ourselves to be drawn into an arms race, which could not but affect the country's socioeconomic development and its international standing.

If your inexperienced would you prefer the guy to tell you that they are inexperienced with dating and that he knows how he feels and that he would like to see the relationship go further than friendship in time? This is my problem I have never really dated someone and I want to make sure I don't get pushed into the friend zone to far that I can not come out. I mean sure the best relationships start out as friends but should I inform her what I stated above?
Most Helpful Girl
if he doesn't make out that its a problem for him then it's not a problem for me. lack of confidence is a real attraction killer. just play it out, "i'm not really into the dating scene, I'm focusing on other things" I know so many guys who really are not interested in dating because they're into their sports or money making or studies or just having a good time, and this makes the girls want them even more! play it to your advantage!00|00|0

point needs no meter anchor needs no assists and middle has a pretty good assist. it gets more complex but thats how I decide
psn: neogunz1985
The Official Sentinel of everywhere... Now Stop ....Hatin is badddd
A point is someone who relies on assists.
A middle is someone with a good assist, and doesn;t rely on assists as much as the point.
An anchor is someone who can cover every situation by him/herself without relying on anyone.
So we hide away our hurts, and put band-aids on our fears. And we lie to all our friends "Move along, there's no problems here!"

Alright so... Doom's an anchor right ? I need a good Point to go with ???/Haggar/Doom
GT: AstroZombie29
SF4: Vega BB: Arakune MK: Sindel UMvC3: ??? / ??? / ???
Many things.
Point is the one who isn't reliant on meter, or a character that needs assists, or a character that has unique strategies with assists.
Middle, is... middle, this character might use the meter you've built with your point, or it may just be a back up character.
Anchor is usually a meter heavy character that either has ridiculously powerful XF activation, or has a lot of options that allow him to fight on his own. Like say the character cn runaway, zone and rushdown at the same time.

_Epid3mic_ 5 years ago#6
No Country for Old Gremlins
Perhaps a more detailed explanation is appropriate...
The point character, as obvious, is a lead character. It's actually practical to have 2 of these on your team, as long as you have a dedicated Assist character to back both of them up. Alone, the point character lacks a lot of options, but with an assist, the point character becomes a very scary character to face. Example: in MvC2 Magneto wasn't perfect. In fact, he is considered the weakest of the 4 gods overall. But placing a Psylocke as a dedicated assist makes him probably the strongest force in the game as Psylocke complements Magneto's style completely.
An MvC3 example would be the obvious Wolverine-Akuma BFFs. I can't explain this too much in detail since I never used this team much yet, but this is a very obvious answer.
Examples of these types of characters are... well, a lot. It's actually better to ask 'who's not a middle or an anchor' and that's pretty much how you get a Point character.
What constitutes a middle character is mostly in the balance of said character. For one thing, many of the Middle characters are the 'balanced' characters in that they specialize in a lot of fields but don't necessarily excel in a certain field, unlike point characters who tend to sacrifice a few capabilities to master one perfect aspect. Middle characters may be moderate to good assist characters, but what makes a Middle is that when the middle character is out, he/she is flexible enough to adapt to a style of play quickly. He/she will have the most options in this particular time, as the middle character usually becomes the one that uses the meter from the point character, still has an assist backing him, but is return at heavy risk because you have to make sure that your anchor comes in well later. Or that you deal enough damage on the opponent so that your dedicated assist character (which is usually having trouble taking down point characters) can stand a chance against the team later.
Your last character, as is obvious. Usually assist characters get the merit of being the anchor, whether they're fit to or not, because of the point-point-assist mentality that carried over to MvC2, and it still works well in that regard, though this might need to be adjusted a bit.
An anchor is one that... actually, in my understanding, can easily abuse X-Factor level 3. Anchors are usually considered low to mid-tier and are risky to use as point characters, usually because many of the point characters out class them. But some of these anchors actually have their weaknesses covered with X-Factor alone, making them a serious threat. There are a lot of options for the anchor: the famous (but currently being doubted) punish-anchor, Akuma, is one of the latest anchor of choices. Ryu to an extent can work as well as Shinkuu Hadouken is a really great punish tool. Of course, there's nothing more (in)famous than a Phoenix anchor, as that is Phoenix's best position.
Oh my, I gave examples with a lack of explanation. Anchors usually get leftover with a LOT of meter and the level 3 X-Factor, in exchange for having no assists to back them up. This means that an anchor must be devastating using the extra tools that every character has but benefits them the most. Sentinel, Akuma, and Phoenix are just some examples.
Middle characters can act as Anchors as well.
One gets extremely lucky, and they get branded as a hacker. Seriously guys? Why not try and think rationally? Being lucky doesn't make you a god, you know.

Goddamn, I need to get active again. It's been a month or so since I've read a few stories on here, let alone add one of my own. I'm close to finishing one, so that detail should soon change.
It's great to still see some great stories and writers, though. I've recently discovered some active writers/editors who have some great material (Banningk1979 and CrashingCymbal, to name a few). The writer's lounge interviews have been very enjoyable, and have given me some valuable insights into how I think on my work. I've been focused on much of my early college work since the summer ended (I am a first-year student), so I'll hopefully be able to apply what I've learned from there as well.
My question of the day is this: What is it that inspires, motivates, or encourages you? This could be for writing, but inspiration goes for any art, of course.
Good day to all.

Video from storm chase yesterday supercells in central Appalachian Mountain region from Cumberland, KY through Big Stone Gap, VA
We could have dropped due south on 13 and punched over mountains early to northeast TN and would have been able to keep up with the storm beyond the gap, and intercept the tornadoes tho. Amazing storms and BEAUTIFUL terrain out here.
I'm becoming obsessed with storm chasing the eastern U.S. This is going to be a big part of the future. Anyone can find tornadoes in the Plains with a smart phone (although not always safely), but the challenge of the terrain further east is addicting… and the people need eyes under the storms out here.

That deal may indicate that the hardware company has aspirations to become a full-service consulting and integration firm on IBM's model. EDS is primarily known for providing basic outsourcing, but will bolster H-P's place in the services business. Although the deal is sizeable, averaged over the life of the contract, it represents just $8.1 million a quarter, or 0.08% of IBM's services revenue for the most recent quarter. The unit's services business took in $9.7 billion, up 17% year over year. "The quarterly impact ... will not be major," Zakharov said. However, IBM will be able to bill up front for consulting and systems integration. "The deal is likely to bring more revenue initially," while the labor outsourcing service tends to generate most of its profit at the end of the contract, he wrote. Despite its high-dollar value, the Bristol-Myers deal is not IBM's largest. In 2003, Big Blue signed one of the first big labor outsourcing deals, valued at $400 million over 10 years, with Procter & Gamble ( PG), according to Zakharov. The BMY deal "shows that IBM is well entrenched to help
the largest conglomerates" with labor and outsourcing, Zakharov said.

Acclaimed author Chinua Achebe was buried in his native Nigeria on Thursday (23May13) after his body was returned to Africa two months on from his death in America.
The writer, often hailed as 'the father of African literature', died at a hospital in his adopted home of Boston, Massachusetts on 22 March (13) following a short illness.
His body was returned to Nigeria from the U.S. on Wednesday (22May13), and thousands of mourners turned out the following day (23May13) to pay tribute to the Things Fall Apart author, including Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

went out on a second date with this chick and she ended up sleeping over however all we did was cuddle for the entire night and kiss for the entire night.. the semester is almost over and I told her I was going back home and we should meet up before I leave.. she said that she was busy that weekend and couldn't make it.. if we cuddled and fooled around does it mean she has feelings for me or was she only looking for attention that night? Should I also ignore her from now on?
Why are girls so confusing?
What Girls Said 3
so... she didn't have sex with you on the second date and you're jumping to wanting to ignore her? lol. why are YOU so confusing. i can just imagine what she would think if you actually went through with that plan. she probably just doesn't want to have sex so soon! her personal choice, respect it. if she's busy, she's busy. people sometimes have plans on weekends. if you want to keep in touch with her over the break, do it. if the whole thing isn't worth it to you, then don't. but i wouldn't make assumptions about how she feels over her not having sex with you after a night of cuddling and making out or whatever.00|00|0
Sounds like a hoe be done00|00|0
Ha, I would of fool around too but if I'm not really interested in the guy I fooled around with I wouldn't be worrying much about meeting up more. So that's probably just happened and the end of it, I mean, I don't think she's into you:/00|00|0

If you want great service at a very affordable price in South Beach, this is the place to go. What makes a smaller hotel better is that they know your name and can provide the services that you request in a timely manner and at an affordable rate.
Make sure to ask about the special jet ski trips - I spent three hours touring south beach and it was an amazing experience.
I don't like to say bad things about other places, but before I stayed here I had a horrible experience at the Fountain Blue. The crowd watching was great but everything else was wrong.
At least I got to have one night in a very well run hotel and really fun day before my flight that they directed. I will stay here again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Nestled deep just off Washington Avenue one would not expect to find a unique collection of accommodations and lushly landscaped atmosphere that promises to instill a sense of relaxation the moment you enter.

In the eighteenth season episode, Missing Gator, the entrance to the mine was recently reboarded up until some runaway trucks bashed through the blocked entrance and into the mine where Percy came to rescue them. The bridge had also been rebuilt from having partially collapsed in King of the Railway, suggesting that it may have been briefly reopened during the time between the aforementioned special and episode.
In Bubbling Boilers, the entrance to the mine was recently reboarded up once again until Thomas crashed through the blocked entrance and ran into the mine until he could not stop as he was covered with bubble liquid such as the runaways, brakes failure, bumps into mine trolleys, splashing into puddles of water, different directions and finally Thomas splashing into a waterfall, lands unbalanced and knocked off the rails.

ELVIS PRESLEY REVISITED (2017): The kid who became King
31 Jul 2017 | 3 min read
The further we get away from Elvis Presley – he came to fame 60 years ago and has been dead for 40 – the harder he is to see. His career was, by current standards, quite short. Those who came to attention in the UK punk explosion around the time of his death have had careers twice as long. And immediately after his death at just 42 his legacy fell prey to... > Read more
STEVE HACKETT INTERVIEWED (2017): From Genesis to self-revelation
17 Jul 2017 | 9 min read | 3
When rock encyclopedias describe Steve Hackett along the lines of "former guitarist with the British progressive rock band Genesis" they do him a disservice. Yes, Hackett was an integral member of the band between the Nursery Cryme album in '71 and Seconds Out ('77), the Peter Gabriel-into-Phil Collins years which most consider the band's finest period.

CHUCK BERRY CONSIDERED (2017): He gave us that rock'n'roll music

There's a very easy case to be made that Chuck Berry – who died earlier this year at 90 – was Elvis Presley's equal in the emerging of rock'n'roll in the Fifties. And that he actually surpassed the King when it came to consolidating and embedding this exciting music in popular culture. As with Presley, Berry forged an amalgam of white country music and... > Read more

New York State Apple Pie
Recipe by joan in CNY
I cut this out of the newspaper many years ago and since everyone seemed to like it so well, I have never used anything else.
Top Review by Lennie
Joan, I can certainly see why you constantly use this recipe. It's good! I used Northern Spy apples, Mean Chef's Classic Pie Crust (#26205), and I believe the apple pie I made is the best one I've ever made. Your filling has a nice, fresh taste of apples with just the perfect hint of cinnamon. The directions are straightforward and the recipe is simple to prepare. The filling also didn't taste overly sweet (which, of course, is due in part to the apples, which are a cooking apple and not an eating apple). Thanks for posting this recipe; it's a keeper!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 pie crust (For crust use whatever you are comfortable with-I am happy with those you can find in the dairy case)
- 1182.95 ml apples, peeled and sliced (your choice)
- 4.92 ml fresh lemon juice
- 177.44 ml sugar
- 1.23 ml salt
- 29.58 ml flour
- 4.92 ml ground cinnamon
- 29.58 ml margarine
Directions See How It's Made
- Sprinkle lemon juice over apple slices.
- Combine sugar, salt, flour,cinnamon and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle over apple slices.
- Toss apples and flour mixture until apple slices are fully coated.
- Arrange into bottom prepared crust.
- Dot with margarine.
- Cover with top crust and fold under and crimp.
- Cut slits into top crust and dust with sugar if desired.
- Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes.

Undersecretary for Management Rafael Borras' departure will shift responsibility for Homeland Security's $19 billion annual procurement budget.
Undersecretary for Management Rafael Borras will step down from his duties at the Department of Homeland Security next week, according to government and industry sources.
He is leaving for the private sector, they said, but DHS had no immediate comment on Borras' status.
Borras has been at DHS since his 2010 appointment by President Barack Obama. From September to December 2013, he stepped in as acting deputy secretary. In turn, Deputy Undersecretary for Management Chris Cummisky had stepped into Borras' slot, and he is a likely contender for the position when Borras leaves.
Borras has authority over all aspects of DHS management programs as the designated chief management officer and chief acquisition officer. As CMO, Borras oversees management of the department's nearly $60 billion budget.
As the agency's chief acquisition officer, he administers DHS' approximately $19 billion in annual procurement.
Borras was a rare constant during a tumultuous 2013 for DHS, which saw multiple senior-level managers leave the department. Secretary Janet Napolitano stepped down in September to become head of University of California system. And former CIO Richard Spires left under controversial circumstances last March and became chief executive officer at Silicon Valley-based Resilient Network Systems. (Spires writes a regular column for FCW.)
Borras also briefly replaced Rand Beers as acting deputy secretary. Beers had temporarily stepped into the position for then-acting deputy secretary Jane Holl Lute, who left DHS last May for the private sector. Beers was DHS acting secretary after Napolitano left. He has since become deputy assistant to the president for homeland security, a senior White House advisory position.
In the last few months, however, the department's management shelf has been restocked. The Senate confirmed Jeh Johnson as secretary on Dec. 17 and Alejandro Mayorkas as deputy secretary, the No. 2 position at DHS, on Dec. 20. Luke McCormack was named CIO in October and began his new job in December.
Washington insiders consider Borras a solid presence at DHS. His departure is part of a broader trend among senior agency managers to leave government as the current administration enters its final years. "It's not only [political-appointees] leaving -- which is typical as White House administrations wind down, but it's also senior level non-appointee talent leaving because they're burned out," said one observer.

very comfortableI have been wearing this brand of contacts for a couple of years and have been very happy with them. They are slightly tinted for visibility without effecting eye color.

In Search of Golden Trout in Eastern Sierra's Lakes

re: In Search of Golden Trout in Eastern Sierra's Lakes
I don't mind the worm containers, as long as worms are allowed and the people who bring them take them away when they leave. After all, that's how most of us got our start fishing-putting a worm on a hook.
I just wish people would put a little more thought into their travels, like noticing the obvious regulations posted on signs that clearly state the rules for a given area.
During the same trip last fall, we also fished on the Upper Owens River. After Labor Day, the regulations switch to barbless flies only and no take. The regulations are posted everywhere. There's no way to walk through the openings in the cattle fences without seeing the rules clearly posted with dates and instructions.
We had the river to ourselves for the first couple of hours in the morning. Then, people came with lawn chairs and coolers and started chucking bait into the river. Everything they caught went into the coolers. One woman struck up a conversation with us, and I tactfully suggested she check the regulations. I told her there were lots of wardens around, because it was the start of deer season. As we were getting ready to leave, I heard her talking to her husband, who glared at us, as though we had just pried his last beer from his hand.
As we were driving out, take a guess who was driving in...the game warden. I don't exactly know how that encounter went, but I would imagine it had an expensive price tag on the end of it.
Some people just have to learn the hard way. It's a strange phenomenon, because there are literally dozens of put-and-take lakes in the Eastern Sierra that would accommodate their needs and are within minutes of where they were caught.

"One of my top five most improved estates on the Right Bank in 2011."
James Lawther, Decanter (May 2012)
The winery's philosophy is that great wine is made in the vineyard, and understands that the team working in the vines plays just as critical a role as that of the winemaker. Clos Cantenac's vineyard team tends to the vines on a block-by-block basis, according to age, condition and seasonal requirements of the estate's gently sloping, south-facing vineyards. They have re-introduced grass seeding within the rows and manage the estate using only sustainable products and techniques. Careful canopy management, de-budding, crop thinning and de-leafing protect and enhance fruit quality. Rather than working to a set timetable, the vineyard team observes and reacts to the ever-changing climate, the development of the vines and the maturity of the fruit, often visiting individual blocks several times before harvesting.
When Martin Krajewski & Marcus Le Grice purchased the Clos Cantenac property, it was just an old shed and a forgotten brand; the wine had been last bottled in 1982. While it had been in the same family for more than 100 years, the property had been split up by inheritance over many generations. In 2008 the new owners built a new, modern cellar, adding new equipment to the fruit receival hall in 2010. In 2010 they also updated the winery's cooling and heating systems. 2013 saw the completion of a brand new barrel hall, as well as a laboratory, office and tasting room. Today, the wines are made in a vibrantly textured and approachable style. After the grapes are hand harvested, they immediately undergo a cold maceration for five to seven days to develop fruit aromas prior to fermentation. After fermentation is complete, the wines undergo a ten day maceration period to refine the tannins, followed by malolactic fermentation before transferring to French oak barrels for 18 months of aging before bottling. In 2014, the winery will complete the rebuilding of a stone wall around the cellar, barrel hall and vineyards that sit immediately by the cellar, creating a proper 'clos' once again.

|Using term offsets for hit highlighting
|Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:38:25 GMT
Hello, The project I'm currently working on requires the reporting of exact hit positions from some pretty hairy queries, not all of which are covered by the existing highlighter modules. I'm working round this by translating everything into SpanQueries, and using the getSpans() method to locate hits (I've extended the Spans interface to make term offsets available - see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3826). This works for our use-case, but isn't terribly efficient, and obviously isn't applicable to non-Span queries. I've seen a bit of chatter on the list about using term offsets to provide accurate highlighting in Lucene. I'm going to have a couple of weeks free in April, and I thought I might have a go at implementing this. Mainly I'm wondering if there's already been thoughts about how to do it. My current thoughts are to somehow extend the Weight and Scorer interface to make term offsets available; to get highlights for a given set of documents, you'd essentially run the query again, with a filter on just the documents you want highlighted, and have a custom collector that gets the term offsets in place of the scores. All pointers gratefully received! Thanks, Alan Woodward

I'm sniffling badly, and sneezing again.
Another "Man-Flu"?
Starting to get slightly worried that this is seemingly occurring every other week.
No idea what might be causing this, but it's certainly getting out of hand.
Anyhoo, yesterday was spent doing more to my Scoreboard Admin stuff, and not (as it should've been) working on getting the next game started.
I still haven't done anything remotely considered a start.
Well, that's not entirely true.
I did plan on making something with the Platdude-on-a-horse sprite, involving you shooting at enemies as you galloped along. But then I watched Jim Sterling's latest video about craptastic Sprite-Flip games, and it featured a game that looked eerily similar, in gameplay, to the one I had in mind..
.. So, that got scrapped!
No idea what to do, now.
Daily Doodle : Keep Platworld Tidy
Platdude is being a good Platizen, and throwing his rubbish in the bin.
Only two more weeks to go.
The Switch is on it's way.
Consoles in hand, the future is here.
..but not many games, yet, to play.
If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, (Please do!!) you can do so right here, at http://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail. Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll usually show up on my daily blog, the very next day.

I have been told that John Payne (d.1863)and Martha Patsy (Phillips) (d.1883/4) HARPERr are buried in Boxes Cove Cemetery. I don't think their graves are marked however.
Manerva T. Gullatt m. Jeremiah Z. (Dock) HICKS 1891. Manerva d. 6-19-1915 and Jeremiah d. 11-18-1925 both buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery on Sand Mountain as are Manerva's parents James M. and Malissa (Harper) GULLATT. Ask the Greatgrandson if he knows what the initial T. in Manerva's name stands for? James M. didn't give any middle names or initials in the bible. Which of their children does he descend from? I used the family bible spelling of her name not the census or her headstone, I can email a copy of it if he doesn't have one. I also have from the bible the birth dates for the John P. and Martha HARPER and their children's if he would like that.
Boxes Cove is located on County Rd 145 across from Boxes Cove Methodist Church, turn left off Hwy 79 going toward Skyline at mile marker 99, the cemetery is on the left.
I would asume that John and Martha HARPER are buried in the old part of the cemetery which contains many, many graves marked only with rocks, no names on them.
I would be glad to get some pictures of the old part of the cemetery even if their graves aren't marked.

I don't know anything about your family history but I do remember Chester Allen and the girls singing gospel music at Skyline and around Jackson County. I always remember Chester because he could really play a guitar.
My knowledge of them goes back to late 1950's. I think all of the girls went to Princeton to school after Skyline.

- I have some Allens on my ancestry site if it will help and if you have access to it but no Chester. What was his full name? My relationship to the Allen family was through marriage into the Rice family.Larry Williams

|Re: Problem with the xsl:import
|Tue, 25 Apr 2006 12:16:44 GMT
Here's the problem. xsl:import is purely an XSL thing. So it doesn't necessarily do anything similar to how the servlet spec does things. So when you have <xsl:import href="cowbell.xsl" /> - cowbell is retreived in a relative style with respect to its context. (which could be file, or http). Your webapp lives in a context. But xsl knows nothing about context, or context as defined by the servlet spec. So asking for http://localhost/aaem/xsl/routesummarycontent.xsl is the same as a webbrowser asking for it. On a multi-hosted machine - yup - this will bring you interesting results. So what you probably need is your own javax.xml.transform.URIResolver. You probably need to write your own implementation of it and have tomcat use it.

Dayne Crist
September 12, 2010 by Post Team
Dayne Crist, Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist, who sat out most of the first half after leading an offensive opening scoring drive, he returned in the third quarter Saturday and immediately threw a touchdown pass.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly told a TV interviewer in the middle that Crist has a stroke during the first set and it was not clear enough to return to the game.
But Crist returned in the second half and his second TJ Jones hit a 53-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 21-14 Michigan.
In the first half, Crist was replaced by freshman Tommy Rees, who quickly threw an interception that led to a touchdown that tied the game for the Wolverines. After playing two series Rees, Nate Montana took over and plays the rest of the half. He also threw an interception and then overthrew the end zone on the final play of the half after Ireland had reached 3 Michigan.
Crist completed 5 of 7 passes on the first drive of 71 yards, had three carries for 30 yards and then slipped into the Irish TD.

NWSL continued to make history heading into Week 3 of their historic 4th season by soaking up some light both under the sunny Florida skies in Orlando with a new league record of 23,403 and also by soaking up the underutilized and ripe-for-the-picking Facebook Live market in the social media giant's first live-streamed professional sports match.
It's a shame networks have yet to ink a deal broadcasting more than 3 regular-season matches because most fans and interested potentials are left to either watch a live stream or watch all NWSL YouTube videos the next day in case, like many, you're watching USL or MLS matches which consistently overlap in scheduling.
Orlando Pride, the newest NWSL team and an MLS-backed one at that, and Alex Morgan decided to do something about the lack of coverage during their home opener last Sunday. Both halves were streamed live on the USWNT star's Facebook page, each as a separate post. The first half received over 292,000 views, the second over 361,000 views. Couple that with its lifetime availability and it's a marketing coup for enticing curious potential new fans who happen upon it days later.
Not only are women competing for airtime, but they're at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to being an attractve option for general soccer fans. With just ten teams it's been a struggle to spread out the stars of internationaly-acclaimed USWNT, but the newest links with Facebook are a lucrative option, far better than anything the league's own YouTube page has done alone so far. For comparison, Orlando's opening match has been viewed now 80,000 times on the league page. NWSL's YouTube page has just over 46,000 subscibers as opposed to Morgan's Facebook page which is flexing with over 2.7 million.
"Not everyone can do what Orlando did overnight, but we are showing that is is attractive to come to the US to play. And we are also showing that it is about the pride of a city and the community leaders. It is certainly a blueprint for others to follow." – NWSL Commissioner, Jeff Plush. Orlando wasn't one of the chosen 6 teams to be broadcasted by Fox this season. Those 3 regular-season games that will be broadcast are: FC Kansas City at Chicago Red Stars, 8:00 p.m., Sept. 7; Western New York Flash at Portland Thorns FC, 9:30 p.m., Sept. 11; and Seattle Reign FC at Houston Dash, 9:30 p.m., Sept. 25. That means there's a bit of a wait for us all, even with the Olympics in between, and that means there's a tremendous opportunity for social networks to leap into the race now.
Just think of the untapped power behind Morgan's US teammates' Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages and fathom the investment opportunity for Twitter or Facebook to reach a deal with any of them or the league to continually livestream matches weekly. Like most opportunities on the women's side of the beautiful game (i.e. – fielding a team in the WWC, building infrastructure for a competitive women's league), it takes relatively little to build tremendous profit from it for sponsors and networks when compared to the men's side.
There's still a huge gap between cities like Orlando and Portland where the women's game is supported and heavily marketed by the general soccer community and their corresponding MLS teams who can afford to lend assistance with cross-promotional marketing and comnunity outreach events. Although there's only one Alex Morgan, what the women's side has across the board now is a fervent supporter base, a growing curiosity from crossover fans, a huge opportunity for investment in the second screen (which for NWSL is really the first screen) and the existing attention of the media. All they need now is a concerted call to action to fans which all USWNT players (see allocation list below) could bring to NWSL on their own terms. A win for a few could translate to a win for many, and eventually a win for all girls and women aspiring to play for equal (or for many, at least enough to not have to work a second job) pay.

I took my new sweetie down south to meet my dad this weekend (my "weekend" being Friday and Saturday now). We've been together for a few months now, but he works full time, is a full-time RN student, and lives 45 minutes away, plus until recently I've been in day orientation which put us on opposite schedules, so our contact has been limited to a few hours on Saturdays. Point being he really mostly had only my word for "I am not a morning person."
This became funnier and funnier to me as I watched his amazement grow. Dude woke up at like 8am yesterday and GOT UP. I pulled the covers over my head. He was all, "But we're awake now!" I said, "Speak for yourself." He rolled with it and I woke up 3 hours later with him sitting in bed next to me playing Candy Crush.
We went downstairs (he jauntily traipsed; I stalked), and my dad's partner immediately began asking what we wanted to do for lunch. We could do this! We could do that! I was like "coffee," much like a zombie would say "braaaaaaiiiins."
My dad walked in and sized up the situation (me in boxers and sweatshirt, hair standing straight up on one side, looking murderous, clutching a coffee mug). "Did you just wake up?" he asked. "Unhhh," I said. "Perhaps we should postpone discussion," he said.
My dad knows me. :)
I hope The Boy can accept a significant other who does not bound happily out of bed. I don't see it happening. It actually makes me mad every time I have to wake up. Anyone understand this? Anyone?

Amazing Azamara: Azamara Journey Cruise Review by datai1holiday
Overall Member Rating
Amazing Azamara
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Southampton
The first thing that I had to do was to check in which was incredibly smooth and professionally taken care of by the courteous and professional staff onboard and I must say went throughout the ship from stateroom attendants right up to the Captain of the ship who was incredibly knowledgeable and certainly entertaining.
On arrival to my stateroom I found it to be spacious and immaculate (I had an outside stateroom 6004) my stateroom attendant Jugoo did an amazing job looking after me for my stay with Azamara and nothing was too much trouble down to replenishing my Elemis bathroom products to turning down my bed in the evening with a nice little touch of a More chocolate left on my pillow.
I had the opportunity to dine in both speciality restaurants Aqualina & Prime C as well as the Windows Cafe for informal buffet dining and the main restaurant Discoveries. Aqualina and Prime C are most definitely worth the minimal $15 per person cover charge (this is complimentary for suite guests) as the food was exceptionally good and I can highly recommend a visit to both. Each have their own attributes which make them stand out from the Filet Mignon or Mini Fish and Chips in Prime C to the Seafood Platter and wonderfully cooked Sea Bass in Aqualina. Windows Cafe held an Indian Themed evening whilst I was onboard and I can safely say it was one of the best I've ever eaten. Discoveries Restaurant also provided an extensive choice of menus to choose from it took me about 15 minutes to decide what to eat! In each restaurant for lunch & dinner waiters serve you a choice of house red or white wines at your table which is at no additional charge and is freely poured. These wines are matched to each destination and are served by extremely knowledgeable wine waiters and the wine sommeliers are also on hand to offer any advice that you may require.
Azamara Journey also has a spa onboard that provides guests with an array of treatments ranging from Hot Stone Massages, Reflexology, Teeth Whitening to Acupuncture which are carried out in the numerous treatment rooms available. Azamara also has a fully equipped gym onboard along with a Thalassotherapy pool and relaxation area which is available for all guests use at a daily charge of $18 (free for suite guests) and beauty salon which provides hair and nail treatments.

MobilePaks Enables Marketers to Effectively Support Sales
New updates to MobilePaks: tools that guide marketers on how to create content for sellers in a way they will learn, retain and use
The capabilities in the release offer the following benefits:
• Guidance for creating and converting marketing collateral into better sales enablement content
• Tips and tools to boost user engagement, knowledge transfer and retention
• Improved usage tracking, feedback and measurement of content ROI for sellers and prospects
"MobilePaks is evolving the way organizations create and deliver customer facing content, training bursts and knowledge aids for sales organizations today," said Chanin Ballance, CEO, MobilePaks. "Drawing from its roots in eLearning, MobilePaks supports marketers in providing sales enablement in a way that is grounded in principles of retention science."
According to SiriusDecisions, the number one reason companies don't hit their sales quota is because salespeople don't know how to articulate value. As a result, the primary focus of B2B companies in the area of improving revenue generation is "enabling reps with the knowledge and assets required for better selling conversations."
Marketers are not traditionally trained to develop content for sales enablement, but instead focus on customer collateral such as of PPTs, whitepapers, PDF guides and datasheets. Such content may be difficult for sellers to quickly absorb, find the key messages to focus on and/or apply in a real prospect conversation. In fact, SiriusDecisions reports that 60-70% of marketing content is never used by sales.
Now MobilePaks provides tools to aid marketers in converting content such as product information, value propositions, sales playbooks, battle cards and case studies into short interactive bites of knowledge. Widgets such as flash cards, drag and drop, and knowledge checks can be added to increase engagement, reinforce key concepts and boost memory.
MobilePaks' content guidance and optimization tools are grounded in the principles of retention science for maximum impact. In addition, MobilePaks gives marketers visibility to what content is being used and how it's rated by sellers.
For example, with MobilePaks, Marketers can take lengthy sales playbooks and break topical sections into short, interactive bites of knowledge. Plus, the modules can be searched on-demand from any device and automatically suggested alongside relevant marketing collateral for the sales rep at each stage of the buying cycle – even within the CRM.
MobilePaks also enables marketers with a single cloud-based location to store content centrally and synch with other repositories, so that changes made to a Pak are automatically reflected everywhere that Pak is viewed, including Salesforce.com. This helps to ensure that sellers have access to marketing collateral that is up-to-date and on-message.

From product updates and competitive intelligence to how-tos, employees can access knowledge with two clicks from any device – as well as share approved content with customers. Marketing and Sales leaders glean insights to track behavior, needs and direct feedback for better alignment.

Pass Customer Name Fields to PayPalAsked by Michael on April 12, 2015 at 08:07 AMSecondly, PayPal has asked that I inquire whether or not you will pass customer name fields through to PayPal for their Instant Payment Notification to us? This would allow them to send the name of the purchaser back to us with the confirmation of payment rather than just sending a generic data form.
JotForm Support
It is possible to pass 'custom field' to PayPal. To use the custom field you need first to create a field (can be a text box, hidden box or Unique ID fields) and then select that field in the Paypal properties:
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

I met a guy in one of my PE classes during the fall term, and unintentionally developed a crush on him on the last day of the class. Over the winter break, I added him on fb, and he surprisingly accepted. I messaged him asking if he wanted to petition for the PE class we took fall (it's not being offered this term) and he replied immediately saying he would take the class if it's offered. Unfortunately, I didn't get enough people interested, so the class didn't happen. Thus, this term, I dont have any classes with him. I saw him twice this term, but he didn't see me, so I didn't get to talk to him. The PE class is being offered next term, and I'd like to know if he's planning on taking it. But, since i haven't seen him very much on campus, I think the best way to ask him is over fb. I don't know if he'll think it's odd/creepy that I would ask him again. The last thing i want to do is weird him out. I messaged him last time a week after the class ended, but since then, it's been about 3 months with no contact. Will he get creeped out if I asked him?

it depends on how you ask it. If its like cool and calm like you are hyped for the class and to be in it with him and act like a friend I wouldn't be creeped out but if you ask just straight up id find it creepy00|00|0

These Fudgy Hot Chocolate Brownies are the perfect compliment to winter, especially when they come out of the oven after you let the mini marshmallows melt a little. They remind of S'mores-like brownies, minus the crushed graham cracker, but you could always crush some up and sprinkle on top! Either way, pure chocolate heaven! PS.
