Newly developed from scratch and already awarded with the renowned "Red Dot Award: Product Design 2014": The A 2 headphone amplifier does not only impress with its unbelievably natural and powerful airy sound, but also with its clear and high-quality design.
With its powerful and lively response, the A 2 brings out the best performances from all dynamic headphones and supplies an excellent reproduction quality that is as close as possible to the original sound: From highs with a brilliant resolution and absolutely authentic mid-range to a deep, natural bass. Amazingly noise-free operation and precise control can be enjoyed via all headphones that are connected, regardless of their impedance.
Selected, hand-assembled components and the discrete circuit design open up a richness of detail that is hard to beat. Due to the two headphone outputs two people can enjoy their favourite music together and the sophisticated, intuitive operation of the A 2 fills with enthusiasm. Applications such as the volume can be precisely and infinitely adjusted via the convenient remote control.As a special highlight, the A 2 is currently the only device on the market that provides separate adjustments for the impedance and sensitivity of the connected headphones as well as different levels of the audio sources. This means that headphones between 16 ohms and 600 ohms can be operated perfectly on the A 2 without distortion occurring at high levels.With the voltage selector switch the supply voltage can be adjusted to 110 - 120 V or 220 - 240 V, which allows the device to be used worldwide.
Like its little brother, the A 20, the A 2 top-of-the-line model is based on a clearly structured, elegant design with smooth rounded housing edges without visible joins, screws or rivets made of massive, anodised aluminium. Another special eye-catcher is the transparent charcoal-coloured glass panel, which is flush with the top surface, enabling you to look through the famous beyerdynamic sound-wave logo into the noble interior of the A 2. LEDs spectacularly illuminate the circuit board in a warm light.Each A 2 is supplied with an extraordinary accessory, a rugged headphone stand made of aluminium. When it is attached to the device, it serves as a practical storage solution for the headphone keeping it ready at all times hanging over the device.

Professional Audio 07/2015Title: Full throttleAuthor: Georg BergerTranslated from the original German article[...]In conjunction with the grey glass cover of the aluminium housing and the beyerdynamic logo of four sound waves that gives an insight of the device, we regard the A 2 as an eyecatcher. [...]When measuring the test supplied very good results for the A 2. Below 1 kHz the FFT spectrum showed some peaks – 100 dB. Apart from that the noise floor is between -100 and -120 dB, which is top.
[...]Regarding harmonic distortion factor, the progressive graph is constantly 0.0025% which is excellent. As regards the crosstalk attenuation, everything is fine as well. [...]
From the listening test the A 2 features a pleasant and smooth sound. The highs are soft and gentle. The bass is precise and very deep without being dominant. Quite the contrary, regarding vividness and bass performance, the A 2 is excellently positioned and produces a pleasant spatial sound. It is striking how fast and precise it reproduces transients despite its dominant inconspicuousness. The signal separation of a dense percussion arrangement is more than clear. The A 2 does not only have a high aesthetic standard regarding the product design, it also knows how to give signals a noble sound.
image hifi 02/2015Title: Devices for listeningAuthor: Alfredo MasciaTranslated from the original German article[...]
The A 2 has a noble glass cover. When the headphone amplifier is turned on, you can see the inside which illuminates discretely red, which has a nostalgic touch. What an optical highlight! Regarding the headphone stand beyerdynamic implemented a nice pragmatic idea: The headphone stand is supplied and you can attach it from the bottom to the headphone amplifier. I would get a patent for this straight away.[...]Did I already mention that I was an ardent fan of the A 2 before it produced the first sound? It was even better when I found out that the new headphone amplifier from beyerdynamic is able to produce a lively and clear sound of my HifiMan-headphone collection.
No matter which headphone amplifier I had tried so far, there was always something to complain about. Until the beyerdynamic A 2 came and took me my freedom in this respect.
The sound is very well balanced, it is acting neutral and comes from the" center ", has no limitations upwards or downwards. The pronounced strengths lies within the dynamic range."
The differences between quiet and noisy are felt to be extended a good bit with the A 2. Anyway, I want to highlight two aspects: The spatial representation and cleanliness of big orchestral works"
Stereoplay 01/2015Title: Minority ReportAuthor: Marco BreddinTranslated from the original German article[...]
Those who want to look inside the amplifier can do this through the wave-shaped transparent logo on the cover and look at the warm orange illuminated circuit board. Rating for this presentation: 1.
High-level sources such as CD and Blu-ray players can pass on their unchanged signal to a connected amplifier without turning on the A 2. When the device is turned on the internal signal routing is accessed and the A 2 passes on music signals to the headphone outputs – great.
[...]With a lively precision and accuracy the A 2 is a challenge for the champion of this price class. The A 2 presents a clearly calculated "sound area", which gives the headphones a certain loudspeaker kick. Mainly drums come to life.
[...]It is a sophisticated analogue amplifier for all headphone fans, who have already invested in the Digital subject. Stereoplay test rating: Sound: Absolute top classPrice/performance ratio: Very goodOverall rating: Very good
www.areadvd.de 08/2014Title: Classic noblesse at the highest levelAuthor: Carsten RampacherTranslated from the original German article[...]
The beyerdynamic engineers made every effort to design the A 2 in a way that it can provide an optimum of audio quality with each headphone. The main board is the heart of the A 2. It is assembled by hand and is only provided with durable, discrete components. Inexpensive integrated circuits, which are usually found in simpler headphone amplifiers, do not meet the quality standards which are important for beyerdynamic to produce a real acoustic talent. The design of the A 2 provides enough space between the elements which are relevant for the sound to avoid mutual interference. Therefore, the higher channel separation and the low tendency to crosstalk are special advantages of the A 2. [...]The look of the A 2 is unsophisticated and of high quality. A smooth aluminium frame covers almost the entire device. Another highlight is the anthracite tinted glass panel with the legendary beyerdynamic wave logo on top of the A 2 providing a look into the device. Due to the LEDs, the circuit board appears in a warm light which looks very noble making the A 2 a real enrichment, which appears never out of place, even in noble living rooms. Against current trends, the headphone amplifier does without integrated digital circuits and is therefore suitable for music lovers who already have a DAC or do not need one.
[...]With regard to the acoustic, we were very excited. [...] In "Dronning Fjellrose" the Norwegian acoustic jazz musicians of the Hoff ensemble thrill with a fine definition and an extremely free treble.
In conjunction with our Ultrasone Edition 12 it works very well and describes a clearly defined, complex virtual room, where every instrument has its exact place. The vocals are integrated fluently and charismatically into the tonal structure. The velocity and the notes of the piano are carefully and precisely presented in detail. In "Stille, Stille, kommer vi", the next title of the album "Quiet Winter Nights" the A 2 demonstrates its ability to present sound with utmost precision. The wind instruments, the piano and the female vocals are harmoniously and exactly combined. The beyerdynamic headphone amplifier clearly and vividly highlights small details in the back of the acoustic levels. [...]You got the impression that not only do you listen to music, but immerse yourself into the musical events and to "live" and "breathe" the music. You feel completely surrounded by a fine acoustic, which is very rare and you are able to forget everything around you. The plucking of the strings, fine acoustic elements in the background, the A 2 brings all this to life. The extremely demanding listener will even forget the enormous purchase price for the A 2. Also in "Miss You So", by Diana Krall, the A 2 operated very well to make clear that it belongs to the best headphone amplifiers available. [...]The very experienced listener, who might have various noble headphones and appropriate headphone amplifiers, will be astounded at the A 2 sounds so natural, so airy and superior, which especially thrills with instrumental solos such as pianos where it clearly presents even minimal dynamic differences when pressing the keys as if there were nothing easier . [...]Conclusion:The beyerdynamic A 2 reliably meets the highest demands to the sound quality. With a strict selection of components and a top design it creates ideal conditions to reproduce even the finest acoustic nuances. Especially in conjunction with noble headphones it can distinguish perfectly.
ear-in 08-09/2014 und www.hifitest.de 09/2014Title: UniversaltalentAuthor: Martin Mertens
Translated from the original German article[...]If there is a headphone amplifier, which is the ideal of an amplifier that produces no intrinsic sound and no error, it is the A 2 from beyerdynamic. Here you can tell very clearly that professionals were at work who develop neutral devices and no sound machines. Therefore, I cannot describe any sonic signature of the A 2. In fact the A 2 has made all the different sounds of various headphones quite clear. I always had the impression that each headphone is really driven correctly. Of course I have experimented with the small switches on the bottom. [...] I was even more impressed as to how clear the beyerdynamic amplifier demonstrates the sonic differences of the individual D/A transducers.
[...] Conclusion: This is the headphone amplifier for those who really want to know what sources or headphones can do. But be warned; if you thought until now that sonic differences between D/A converters or cables were high-end esoteric, after you purchase the A 2 you will like to discuss the sonic influence of network cables. ear-in rating: Reference class 1.3Price/performance ratio: Excellent
Stereo 10/2014Title: IntellectualAuthor: Tom FrantzenTranslated from the original German article[...]The sound of the A 2 from beyerdynamic is a real high-flyer which gives the impression of a very well thought out idea in addition to the attractive design and excellent workmanship. Price/performance ratio: Excellent (97%)
Audio 07/2014Title: Heilbronn's riseAuthor: Alexandros Mitropoulos
Translated from the original German article
One way or another: The testers certify the headphone amplifier from Heilbronn has a perfect, honest and wide sound which has no analytical effect despite its neutrality. The A 2 maintained this character independent of the connected headphone: no matter if with magnetostats (…) or conventional dynamic headphones such as the own brand T 1 (...) – the reproduction always appeared authentic and from one source. There is no need to worry about direct competitors: while the amplifier's sound from Wedemark was more fine and airy, the amplifier from Heilbronn showed a vividly concrete reproduction. Regarding richness of detail, sound balance and dynamic, both played on the same high end level.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 06/2014Title: Pure source of the headphoneAuthor: Wolfgang Tunze
We used two top-class beyerdynamic headphones for testing – the semi-open T 1 brand flagship and the open T 90. Never before have we heard the fine differences of the two headphones: the precise and analytical sound of the T 1 on one hand and the airy, sometimes almost casual sound of the T 90 on the other hand. Never before have we heard, which advantages have the outputs of an excellent headphone amplifier compared to standard amplifiers: a more detailed sound, the more exact definition of the room, the more lively enjoyment of playing and the greater clarity of the bass. In short: The A 2 really meets the requirement.
www.macrewind.de 04/2014Title: Sound in a high dosageAuthor: Frank Borowski
Practical test: Headphone amplifiers beyerdynamic A 2 versus M2 Tech Marley
[...]As for the sound, all three models are on top of the long evolution ladder, but beyerdynamic is still one or two steps higher, probably due to its better, integrated power supply, which has to be paid separately and dearly for the Marley and Meridian.

Laird making Astros' roster decisions difficult
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Astros have several intriguing roster decisions to make in the 10 days prior to their March 31 opener, against the Rangers, and those have been made even more intriguing by the performance of infielder Brandon Laird.
Laird, who was claimed off waivers from the Yankees last September, began play on Thursday hitting .350 with four homers and 10 RBIs in 40 at-bats, getting time at first and third base. The 25-year-old isn't on the 40-man roster, but he's making a strong case to make the club.
He strengthened that case on Thursday, taking Detroit ace Justin Verlander deep for a two-run homer.
"I feel it's going pretty well," Laird said. "I'm doing whatever they ask me to do. At the plate right now, I'm feeling pretty good and confident and just getting good pitches, just getting in good hitters' counts and putting good swings on it."
Laird made his Major League debut with the Yankees in 2011, appearing in 22 games, but he's never been on an Opening Day roster.
"That's what I play for," he said. "To make the team out of spring is something I've always looked forward to. With the Yankees, it was kind of tough over there. I've been here and there's a lot of opportunity, and whatever happens, happens, and I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully in the next week or two, we'll find out."
Laird was drafted in the 27th round out of Cypress College in California and is a career .272 hitter in the Minor Leagues with 100 homers and 438 RBIs. He appeared in 17 games for the Astros last year and hit .257 with a homer and four RBIs.

If you're looking for something to do Monday night, allow me to suggest a trip to Canon-McMillan.
For one, it's the rare home-and-home series for boys hoops; Friday the Big Macs lost at Upper St. Clair, 56-47, and three nights
later two of the top five teams in Section 4-AAAA meet again.
Take a closer look, and the section is also a jumble. An interesting jumble, too.
Upper St. Clair leads Bethel Park (7-3) by a half a game at 7-2; Canon-McMillan and Mt. Lebanon are 6-3; and Peters Township is at 6-4.
Good luck sorting all of that out.
More important, though: Monday night is #Lukestrong night, where all the proceeds will benefit Luke Blanock and his family. Luke is battling Ewing's sarcoma.
Here's a link to what I wrote about Luke earlier this winter sports season: http://triblive.com/sports/hssports/basketball/5352070-74/blanock-luke-valvano#axzz2rVYsVEsv
Changing gears a bit … Trinity junior shortstop Olivia Gray was recently named one of the country's Hot 100 2015 college prospects.
Gray, who was ranked No. 87, was the only Pennsylvania player on the list.
(Small editorial: This is awesome for Gray, who's a phenomenal player, but Pennsylvania deserves more than one player on this list for crying out loud; there are two — catcher Giorgiana Zeremenko and third basemen Olivia Lorusso — elite prospects at Canon-McMillan
alone that coaches raved about all of last spring. That's the problem with these lists. Just tough to include all who deserve it. But happy for those who are selected, no doubt.)
Gray, a Pitt recruit, hit .545 last spring, with 14 of her 30 hits for extra bases, while reaching base 60 percent of the time.
She drove in 22 runs, scored 27 times and helped Trinity to the Section 2-AAA title.

Spot on. I agree 100%
It will be interesting to see how Obie manages the substitutions to keep guys fresh
Sittin on top of the world!
Actually, what we don't wanna do is get a double digit lead at any point in time...
why dont the Jazz rebound well?
Is it because they lost Boozer? or becasue Memeht is out? or something else
Sittin on top of the world!
cause we take the foot off the gas pedal?
Sittin on top of the world!
I would imagine it's likely the fact that they don't have much after Milsap and Jefferson, but they're like 25th in the league in rebounding.
If your looking at raw rebounding numbers, I'd venture to say their pace has something to do with that. They're below the league average in pace.
Could be this as well. They're still very thin in the front court right now.
Is there any doubt that we are going to take a double digit lead in the 3rd quarter and then lose the game? We always get double digit 3rd quarter leads, the Jazz always fall behind by double digits in the 3rd quarter. We always blow the lead (but not always the game), and the Jazz always come back. I know this is going to happen, yet when it actually does happen, I will be furious.
To answer the question of the OP, yeah, if such a thing exists, this certainly qualifies as a schedule loss.
I really hope they start Gordon Hayward tonight and he gets a lot of minutes that could give us a chance to win
Yes. We seem to have a pretty deep bench. I'd hope that JOB utilizes it, especially during such a brutal stretch on the road.
While I do think it will be tougher to win, as long as JOB manages the substitutions properly there is no reason that this team should lose just because it is a back to back and 3rd game in 4 days on the road.
I don't know if it would necessarily be a "schedule loss", but it surely qualifies as a "convenient excuse loss". Most do.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Yeah.....it's going to be like those flashbacks of 3 years ago seeing Kirk Hinrich continually Post-Up Travis "The Ballboy" Diener in the paint.
I still get nightmares about that from time to time....
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
We have no chance then... Schedule loss... 'convenient excuse loss' and finally and obviously there's the Jim O'Brien's fault loss....
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
So what does it say about our guys if this "scheduled loss" turns into a WIN?
means something big? mean nothing at all? somewhere in between?
Sittin on top of the world!
.......crickets chirping.................
Sittin on top of the world!
Sittin on top of the world!
I'll be impressed if we win, but I won't be going off the deep end.
You can't play your way into the playoffs in December, but you can definitely play your way out of them.
It means there is no such thing as a "schedule loss".
I think we should let the win for been so nice to us in draft night
although i thank them for taking that tall weak geeky kid from butler
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
I just hate the idea of of a schedule loss. This is one more reason why I firmly believe the 82 game season should be shortened. Whats the point of having a longer season if a portion of the games will be pointless anyways because one of the teams is too tired to play. Oh yeah I know the point: $$$.
Weren't road games vs the Heat and Lakers "schedule losses"? Wtf? Just o out and play, give it your best effort to come away with the W. Herm Edwards said it best.

What happened: SDSU beat USF 80-58 to advance to the semifinals of the Diamond Head Classic before a sparse crowd of maybe 1,500 at the 10,300-seat Stan Sheriff Center on Saturday afternoon.
How it happened: The Aztecs won the opening tip, then missed six straight shots and trailed 8-2, then made eight straight shots to take a lead they never relinquished. They would have led by 10 at the half, but USF scored five points in the final 12 seconds to make it interesting. USF cut it to two with 13 minutes left and had a possession to tie or take the lead, but couldn't. It was all Aztecs from there.
Key player: Chase Tapley had 15 points by halftime on 6-of-9 shooting. He was just getting warmed up. He had 33 points with six minutes left, and the tournament record is 36 by Hawaii's Dwain Williams in 2009. But he only got one more shot the rest of the way, and finished at 33.
Key play: James Rahon hit a 3-pointer out of a timeout, USF's Cole Dickerson missed a dunk at the other end and Tapley drained a 3 on the ensuing break, pushing SDSU's lead from 62-52 to 68-52 in a mere 23 seconds.
Key stat: 55.2 percent, what the Aztecs shot from the floor (32 of 58). They also made 10 of 19 behind the arc (52.6 percent)
Yes, another T: Jamaal Franklin nearly made it through the game without a technical foul, then got one for hanging on the rim with 53.4 seconds left. It's his fifth T of the season. He also got a T for hanging on the rim in the last game he played, a week ago against USD.
The big guy: SDSU coach Steve Fisher went with a nine-man rotation for most of the game that did not include newly eligible transfer James Johnson. Johnson got in with 1:23 to go and scored on a left-handed hook with 20 seconds left, apparently not hearing the coaching staff's pleas of "no shots" with the shot-clock turned off and 22-point lead.
Who's next: Indiana State, Sunday at 2 p.m. PST. The Sycamores (6-3) upset Mississippi 87-85 in overtime in the tournament's opening game, blowing an 11-point halftime lead and then nearly losing in regulation. Gonzaga transfer Manny Arop had 27 points, and Jake Odum had 16. Coach Greg Lansing on SDSU: "I know they're scary good. I know they're very well coached. They've been ranked basically for the last three years. I know a lot of NBA scouts are here to see some of their players. I don't think too many of them are looking at our guys."

Ian seems much better at protecting the rim this year, and his hands seem better too (not like they could have possibly gotten worse). I hope he works out with Roy and Duncan next summer.
West and Scola just aren't capable of guarding someone like Davis. I hope next time we play them I hope Mahinmi gets some burn at PF.
Paul George has improved a lot more offensively than I thought he would. I thought if he ever got to this level it wouldn't be until next year.
As mediocrely as Hill played in the first half he was just as great in the second.
Watson and Orlando played well. Orlando just can't miss that lay-up. It was the difference between me losing guess the score, and a perfect guess.
A win is a win....but it was an extremely ugly win.
I was extremely disappointed in how flat the Team came out on the offensive and defensive end in the 1st half....they were all careless and didn't do what they needed to do to play like they should be playing.
I assume that someone lit a fire under their butts after the half...cuz they finally showed up.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Haven't stopped smiling since that G. Hill 3.
Then why did they just sign Tyreke Evans to a pretty large contract this offseason?
Gordon is starting over 'Reke to build trade value. I hate agreeing with the poltergeist, but Kstat is right: Gordon is shipped out the first chance they get.
And Evans.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Wow was that an ugly win. Better than an ugly loss.
Paul George continues to hint at superstardum. Imagine if the refs started kissing his ***.
Hill's 3 was Billups-esque.
Lance was much shakier to me tonight, but still came up with a good game overall.
West was having trouble with Davis, but my God that man his enormous so it's no surprise. That was my first really good look at Anthony Davis as a pro, and wow is he better offensively than I would have thought. Then again, I barely saw him in college, so I didn't really have much of an idea.
We got outrebounded tonight. I'm starting to think this could become a regular thing, but we'll see.
I'll say this: Games like this are just straight sobering when you have to watch what happens to this offense when it stops moving the ball and players start standing around.
Turnovers have to be one of the most obnoxious flaws a team can have. Especially in our case because they're not even turnovers that might have otherwise been a nice pass, they're just plain awful.
Was it just me, or did it feel like the guys were acting lazy a lot this game regarding rebounding and loose balls?
Thankfully they hit (most?) all their free throws down the stretch to help seal the win.
You really can see the talent with the Pelicans; they're overall I think the youngest team in the league, so expect a lot of inconsistency, but if you catch them on the wrong night, watch out.
Can Paul George throw himself wildly at the defender and lead sideways with his shoulder to get a bailout trip to the foul line, too, please?
there are two ways I can interpret this.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Hey now, it could always be both; thinks outside the box! (Which, in that case, he probably would be... Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! )

I have weird sense of humor. I like making situations awkward.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
If PG gets to the charity stripe 7 or 8 times a game, is it inconceivable that he averages 25+ through the season? If this were mythbusters I'd at least label this as plausible.
West threw his weight around admirably but the Brow is a young athletic freak on the rise. Some of those spins, put backs and blocks were outstanding. Also I think it is safe to say both DWest and New Orleans are over each other, if they weren't already.
George Hill seems to get clutch around the same time PD starts bringing up his contract a little bit too much. Hibbert had limited pt because of those fouls but at least dominated the pace and paint when he played.
Oh and one last little nugget. Lance might be the best rebounding guard playing the game. Starting from last year's post-season and including these two regular season games he's averaging 7.5 boards. That's over 21 games. 25% of a full season. Is it just me or is that eye popping? I doubt it stays that high but that's straight bull dog aggression for the ball.

~Ahmad Rashad~
Didn't get to catch any of the game tonight except the last 17 seconds when we were icing it, but was following along with the score and I am impressed with this win. Second night of a back to back, on the road against a team that has playoff aspirations in their opener, down 16...impressive. Paul George is a phenomenal basketball player.

Last year, the inaugural Plug In Day event celebrating the virtues of the electric car was held in Santa Monica, a city famous for its commitment to sustainability.
On Sunday, the second annual event was held at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, a city known for its oil refineries.
If it sounds like a less-than-perfect fit, Zan Dubin-Scott, spokesperson for the clean-air advocacy group Plug In America, says that's exactly the point.
"We don't want to preach to the converted anymore," she said. "We just got the opportunity to come to a gas-car museum. That's exactly what we wanted."
Regardless of the location, Sunday's event was well attended, with hundreds of people coming out to admire, learn about and test drive electric vehicles from a wide range of manufacturers.
As salespeople gave pitches near parked vehicles in a lot, cars and motorcycles zoomed silently down the block and back, driven by curious consumers.
Avery Neaman of Glendale was impressed by the Nissan Leaf.
"It's fast and it brakes well - it's a real car, unlike some of the others that I won't mention," he said. "You gotta give it to Nissan, and to General Motors for doing what they did to the Volt. ... You gotta give credit to the American manufacturers who are doing it."
Are electric cars catching on with the American public?
Not fast enough for Dubin-Scott, an activist. But she does point out that the number of Plug In Day events nationwide jumped in one year from 29 to 60.
Also, as recently as 2004, manufacturers such as Toyota were destroying their electric cars. On Sunday, Toyota had a RAV4 electric vehicle on display.
"It's back on the market," she said. "Every single car company in the world is developing an electric car with a plug on it."
In the United States, a push from the federal government is partly responsible. Tax credits for plug-in vehicles mean, for instance, that the all-electric Nissan Leaf, which sells for about $35,200, will cost a customer only $27,700.
As for associates of the museum, they were no less enamored of the electric vehicles on display than they are of their vintage gas guzzlers.
Museum spokesman George Notaras - who doubles as the host of a webseries called "MotoMan" - talks a mile a minute about things like an upcoming initiative in Washington state, which next summer will install high-powered charging stations at rest stops.
He gushes about the Fisker Karma, a sleek plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan out of Finland.
"Nothing, nothing gets attention (from pedestrians and motorists) like that Fisker," he said.
When it starts up, the $100,000 car emits the low sound of sampled cellos, not unlike a cellphone ring tone.
"The idea is, you want to keep pedestrians aware that a car is coming," Notaras said. "It isn't mandated yet. The car manufacturers got together on their own and said, `This is a safety thing."'
Tom Zimmerman, who sits on the board of the Automobile Driving Museum, owns a Subaru but said he could definitely see himself in an electric vehicle.
"I come to work in the morning, and my car sits at the parking lot in my office for eight or nine hours a day," he said. "Might as well charge it. Why spend the money on the gas?"
The museum itself is a lens through which to study American history. Over here is the 1932 Plymouth driven by Eleanor Roosevelt - she preferred this to a luxury vehicle. Over there is an SS Packard Caribbean convertible Howard Hughes purchased for his wife. Because she hated it, the car logged only 1,900 miles.
Believe it or not, one of the electric cars on display Sunday belongs to the museum. This is the 1915 Milburn, resembling a Model T, but with a battery pack.
"The funny thing about that car? It has a range of 75 miles," Notaras said. That's 25 miles beyond the range of many modern electric vehicles.
So why did it go away?
"It's a political thing," he said. "The infrastructure of gasoline won out."
Are electric vehicles still a political thing? Well, among the consumers at the Plug In Day event in El Segundo was U.S. Rep. Janice Hahn, a Democrat. She claims to be one of just two members of Congress with an all-electric vehicle.
The other? Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican from Tennessee.

Esquire Theatre
323 E. Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Yosemite Theatre was opened around 1893. It was remodeled by architects Weeks & Day in 1920 and re-named State Theatre.
Listed in the 1941 & 1943 editions of Film Daily Yearbook as the Fox State Theatre with a seating capacity given as 1,510. In the 1950 & 1952 editions it is the State Theatre with a slightly reduced seating capacity.
Following the closure in 1954 of the towns' Esquire Theatre, the name was transfered to this theatre.
Recent comments (view all 15 comments)
The June 5, 1954, issue of Boxoffice had information about the State Theatre, as well as other theaters in Stockton:
"The Fox State in Stockton closed last week. The oldest public showhouse in Stockton, the Fox State was originally known as the Yosemite. Negotiations are reported underway for leasing of the property by Joseph Blumenfeld of Blumenfeld Theatres. Blumenfeld has reported that if the deal goes through he will move the Esquire Theatre to the State site. Blumenfeld's Sierra was recently closed to make way for two new stores, and the Esquire is scheduled to be closed to make room for the new J.C. Penney store."I don't find the Sierra or the Esquire listed at Cinema Treasures yet. I've found the Yosemite Theatre cited in the California Index as early as 1913.
The Index also contains references to a number of other Stockton theaters not yet listed at CT, including a National Theatre, a Rialto Theatre, a Lyric Theatre, a Roxy Theatre, a Garrick Theatre, a Hippodrome Theatre, and an Avon Theatre. Some might not have been movie houses, and others might be only missing aka's for listed theaters, but I think most are just missing.
The California Index has several cards about the National. It was built by the National Theatres Syndicate in 1931, located on Main Street at Stanislaus Street, and designed by the San Francisco firm Bliss & Fairweather. It was closed for a while in 1935, but Motion Picture Herald of May 18 that year said that it was being reopened by Joe Merrick of San Francisco. It was mentioned again in the February 2, 1936, issue, but the Index provides no details on that one.
The problem is I can't find the National mentioned in Boxoffice at all, which makes me wonder if perhaps its name was changed.
I did come across a very interesting item in the April 24, 1967, issue of Boxoffice which said that the old Star Theatre on lower Market Street was being torn down after 50 years. It was the oldest surviving movie house in Stockton, and the last of four old movie theaters which had once thrived in the south end of downtown, the others being the Lincoln, the Imperial, and the Liberty.
I recall seeing this neighborhood in the late 1960s, just as they were beginning to demolish it for an urban renewal project. It was a splendid section of several square blocks of substantial masonry commercial and residential buildings. Glimpses of the area can still be seen in the original version of "All the King's Men" in which Stockton sat in for Baton Rouge. The area appeared in a number of other movies as well, the last of them probably being John Huston's noirish boxing movie "Fat City" which was filmed during the latter part of the demolition period.
Checked the Google photos – Looks like it has been razed. The surrounding parking lots are now underconstruction with a new urban complex – very well designed – at first it looks like a series of old-style retail buildings. If only more modern urban construction looked like this.
I have many memories of Stockton's Esquire Theatre. It was sandwiched between the Ritz and Fox Theaters on Main St. I started working as a doorman at the esquire in 1960 when I was 16 years old. It was a great place for a kid still in high school to work as I had to stay until the last movie was over to close the theater and lock up, so I had lots of time for home work. I continued to work there until June 1963 when I joined the military. I believe the Esquire (or State) theater started life as a vadavile theater as it had an extensive back stage area behind the movie screen. Also dressing rooms and a large area above the stage for stage hands to work. Does anyone have any photos of the Esquire?
ksutterfield: I've been searching Boxoffice Magazine for info about the Esquire, which is apparently not yet listed at Cinema Treasures, but so far I've only found a few references. The May 18, 1946, issue mentions in passing that the Esquire Theatre in Stockton was "nearly completed." Work was delayed, though, and a short article in the December 14 issue that year announced that the Esquire had finally opened after thirteen months of construction.
The house had cost $200,000 to build and equip, and would be Stockton's fourth first run theater. Boxoffice gave the seating capacity as 1190, and described the auditorium as being decorated with fluorescent murals having a Chinese theme. The article didn't give the name of the architect, but the mention of blacklight murals makes me wonder if it might have been designed by Gale Santocono, who was very active at the time and used blacklight in theater decorations frequently. Even if he wasn't the architect, he might have done the decoration for the Esquire.
I'll keep looking for more info, but I don't think Boxoffice ran any articles with photos of the theater. If they had, I'd probably have found them by now.
Thanks Joe, the Esquire theater I worked at was the renamed and remodeled Fox State Theater (see your Aug 12th post above). The only photo I've ever found of the Esquire is a post card I found on the internet.
I've come across something about the State Theatre that doesn't fit in with other pieces of information I've found, especially the information from Boxoffice I cited in my first comment of August 12, 2009.
A 1922 issue of the architectural journal Pencil Points ran an article about movie theatres penned by architect Emil M. Mlinar, a former associate of C. Howard Crane. Among the illustrations is a photo captioned "Proscenium of Loew's State Theatre, Stockton, Cal. Weeks & Day, Architects." The photo is recognizable as the same theater in the photo from the S. Charles Lee collection to which I linked in the second comment on this page.
So, assuming that the magazine didn't make a mistake, the State Theatre opened as a Loew's house, and was designed by the same firm as the Loew's State in Los Angeles and the Loew's State in Oakland. I can't find a Loew's State listed for Oakland at Cinema Treasures, so either it isn't listed or it's listed under another name and is missing the aka. The Fox in Oakland was designed by Weeks & Day, but I've never seen anything suggesting that it was ever a Loew's house.
The volume of Pencil Points with the photos can be seen at Google Books. Here's the link to the Stockton photo. Scroll up a few pages to see the Oakland photo.
The Yosemite Theatre opened either in 1892 or 1893. The conversion of the house into the State Theatre took place in 1920. In a column listing projects in the works for 1920, the December, 1919, issue of the San Francisco-based professional journal The Architect & Engineer included Weeks & Day's remodeling of the Yosemite Theatre in Stockton. The projected cost was $130,000.
A photo of the original, San Joaquin Street entrance building of the Yosemite Theatre, probably taken in the 1890s, can be found at the very bottom of the Stockton Theatres Over the Years page on Wright Realtors' web site. There is also a photo of the original proscenium arch with its advertising curtain.
Farther up the page (theaters are in alphabetical order) there are photos of the Main Street entrance of the house as the State and as the second Esquire.
There were two Stockton Theaters named The Esquire. The one pictured above was next door to a luggage store and Union Bank to the right. Mostly 2nd run and B films it had its hey days when it managed to first run all the James Bond films except From Russia With Love. Not a big auditorium it had a small balcony.

Remember to Display Decals to Avoid Fines
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Nov. 9, 2004
Remember to Display Decals to Avoid Fines
Nov. 15 is decal day. Fairfax County residents, including military personnel, are reminded that they must display their red Fairfax County decals for tax year 2005 on all vehicles by midnight, Nov. 15, or risk getting a ticket and a fine.
Most county residents already have their decals. Decals were mailed
along with personal property tax bills to residents who had paid all
prior year taxes and had no unpaid parking tickets. As a result, many
people have been displaying their new red decals since July. Other
residents received their decals when they paid their bills or registered
their cars in the county.
Decals should be affixed to the immediate right of the state safety inspection sticker. Prior year decals should be removed before affixing the current year decal. Motorcycle decals should be affixed to the bike's fork next to the state safety inspection sticker. Beginning Nov. 16, police officers will issue traffic tickets and fines will be assessed for those vehicles that are not in compliance.
Decals can be obtained at the Department of Tax Administration, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 223, Fairfax. Decal fees are $25/car, truck or van; $18/motorcycle; and $23/taxicab. There is no proration for decals. Vehicle decals will be issued at no cost to active duty military personnel who reside in the county due to military orders, and who are the sole owners of vehicles garaged or parked in the county and maintain their legal residence in a state other than Virginia. Vehicles with out-of-state license plates are required to display a county decal if they are stored here.
Residents of the Towns of Herndon and Vienna must purchase a town decal, available from their respective town halls. Residents of the Town of Clifton must purchase a town tag from the town clerk. The decal schedule for those specific areas may be different from Fairfax County.
For more information, call Fairfax County Central

It's clear North Carolina State has a lot to work on after its first set of spring drills under coach Dave Doeren.Pete Thomas and Manny Stocker both directed touchdown drives in the second half of the Wolfpack's spring game on Saturday, though neither quarterback managed to get their teams to the end zone before halftime in a turnover-filled game.For Doeren, who left Northern Illinois to take over for fired coach Tom O'Brien, the spring game was about laying the foundation ahead of training camp this summer."You know, we didn't put a ton on them," he said. "We did put a lot in but there's a lot left. And it's hard because you want to put enough in where you see the guys do all the things we want them to be able to do so that over the summer we can start with, `OK, here's what we're good at, here's where we're not' and put some things in the right way for the fall."The biggest turnover is coming to the offense, where Doeren has installed a multi-formation scheme that often goes without a huddle to speed up the tempo. The concepts are similar to what the players knew under O'Brien, but the pace and the terminology is different.Then there's the matter of choosing a passer to replace two-year starter Mike Glennon, who could be an NFL first-round draft pick this month. It's too early for Doeren to choose a starter between Thomas and Stocker, who had good moments but frequently failed to finish drives.Thomas had the better statistical day, completing 15 of 26 passes for 168 yards to help the Red squad beat White 20-10. He directed the game's first touchdown drive late in the third quarter, ending with Milton Hall's 4-yard scoring run."I think every single day and every single meeting, we're getting better and more comfortable with the terminology, the routes and the protections," said Thomas, a junior transfer from Colorado State. "The summer's going to be huge for us. We can't take any steps back. We need to keep getting more comfortable so when we show up ... for fall camp, we're not thinking. We're hopefully out there playing and reacting."Florida transfer Jacoby Brissett - who will sit out this season - followed that with a 39-yard scoring pass before Stocker finally got on the board late in the fourth quarter. The sophomore, who saw spot duty behind Glennon last year, squeezed in a 36-yard scoring pass to Bra'Lon Cherry through double coverage on fourth down.He finished 11-for-20 for 96 yards, though he also threw an interception in the end zone after directing White all the way to the 2-yard line."The bad pass I threw, you have to be smarter than that," Stocker said. "When we did score on the touchdown drive, it was a plus for us and the offense to know we can do it and give us hope for the fall."Stocker's pick was the only interception of the game, though the teams combined for six fumbles, losing five. Running back Shadrach Thornton had three of them for White, losing two.Of course, Stocker and Thornton were lined up against the Wolfpack's starting defense, which held White to 136 total yards."All throughout the winter, we've been working on taking away the ball, ball security and being enthusiastic on defense," said linebacker M.J. Salahuddin, who had eight tackles and a fumble recovery for Red. "I think we did a good job with that."

PARADISE >> The Paradise Irrigation District's rights to draw water from Paradise Lake or Magalia reservoir are hanging in the balance today.
District General Manager George Barber recently told the board that the State Water Resources Control Board curtailed the district's post-1914 water rights effective immediately.
However, a meeting Tuesday in Sacramento yielded no final word on if the district's pre-1914 water rights would be curtailed, according to Bruce Ross, district director for Assemblyman Brian Dahle.
Ross, in a tweet to The Post Tuesday night, said the water board would be discussing the issue more today.
What's concerning, Barber told the PID board, was that there is no end date to the curtailment. If the curtailment continue into the rainy season, the district will not be able to keep any water it collects from the storm, he said.
The hearing would also give the state board's staff the authority to levy penalties for non-compliance, including a $1,000 a day fine for violating the curtailment, a $500 fine for violating emergency regulations and a $10,000 a day fine for ignoring a cease and desist order.
The curtailment could result in further water reductions for PID customers. The district is already under a 20 percent voluntary reduction. That could go up to 30 percent or even 50 percent mandatory reduction, which was what the district was looking at in January, before the ridge received a couple of wet storms.
"All the (reductions) that were on the table before are still on the table," Barber said.
PID attorney Dustin Cooper explained that the post-1914 curtailment is not uncommon. Water rights are "first in time, first in right," he said.
In times of drought, rights are curtailed in reverse order of priority — those with the most recent rights get curtailed first.
But there is a problem with curtailing pre-1914 rights, primarily that there is no determined order of priority.
As such, the water board proposes to use the "emergency rule making" and "wasteful and unreasonable use" process to curtail pre-1914 rights.
"The process in and of itself is objectionable," he said, noting it has a potential to significantly impact the 2015 water supply.

Public Comment Invited on Proposed Changes To Stormwater Management Program
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
April 15, 2003
Public Comment Invited on Proposed Changes
To Stormwater Management Program
Fairfax County citizens are invited to comment on a report outlining recommended changes to policies, practices and regulations that guide the county's current stormwater management program. A series of public meetings will be held at four locations throughout the county to hear public comment:
Wednesday, April 30, 7 p.m. - Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center
Parkway, Fairfax, Conference Center, Rooms 2-3
Thursday, May 1, 7 p.m. - South County Center, 8350 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, Main Conference Room #221, 2 floor
Tuesday, May 6, 7 p.m. - Mason Governmental Center, 6507 Columbia Pike, Annandale, Main Community Room
Thursday, May 8, 7 p.m. - South Lakes High School, 11400 South Lakes Drive, Reston, Cafeteria
The report was prepared by a committee established to study the role of regional ponds and other types of stormwater controls as potential watershed management tools. The committee, comprised of 15 members including the Fairfax County Environmental Coordinator and representatives from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, the Department of Planning and Zoning, the Fairfax County Park Authority, the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District and the Environmental Quality Advisory Council, prepared the report and invited public comment on the preliminary findings during a meeting held in November 2002. The committee took these comments into consideration in developing its recommendations into the final report, and the committee now is seeking input from all citizens and stakeholders before taking the next step of developing implementation plans.
In the report, the committee has recommended that regional ponds should not be deemed the preferred alternative for stormwater management, but just one of the many tools considered. The report contains 61 recommendations that support this position and outlines ways to improve Fairfax County's stormwater management program. The public meetings will provide an opportunity for citizens to learn about the proposed changes and to contribute ideas to shape the program of the future.
There is no fee to attend the public meetings; however, advanced registration is encouraged so that sufficient materials will be available. To register, please send an e-mail message to email@example.com and include the following information: name, address, e-mail address, phone number and organization represented, if any. Also, please include the date and location of the meeting you plan to attend and indicate if any special accommodations are needed. Interested citizens may also register by calling the Stormwater Planning Division at 703-324-5500, TTY 711 (Virginia Relay Center) and providing the information listed above, including any requests for special accommodations.
Those planning to attend one of the public meetings are encouraged to read the report of the Regional Pond Subcommittee: The Role of Regional Ponds in Fairfax County's Watershed Management, March 3, 2003. The report is posted on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/Watersheds/ponds.htm. For a printed copy of the report or to request alternative formats, call 703-324-5500, TTY 711.
Comments on the report also may be submitted in writing by Monday, June
2 to firstname.lastname@example.com
or to Director, Stormwater Planning Division, 12000 Government Center
Parkway, Suite 449, Fairfax, VA 22035.

This article, entitled Natural & Free Garden Helpers comes from partner site 719woman.com.
Want to keep bugs out of your garden and/or add nutrients to your soil without using chemicals or spending money? These 3 "free" garden helpers are things you usually throw away so that's why I consider them free (and they are things most people have in their kitchen on a daily basis.)
Whether you're making scrambled eggs for breakfast, boiling eggs for salads, or cracking them into cakes or cookies; you can use what you normally toss in the trash or down the drain in your garden…
You eat a banana or orange and then toss the peels. But those peels can actually be used in the garden to help deter bugs and fertilize the soil. If you have a compost pile, the peels can be added to the pile but for those of us who don't have a compost pile, here's a few other ways you can use them.
I've used coffee grounds in my garden for a couple of years now and it really works. And since I typically drink 2 pots of coffee everyday, I have lots of grounds! They can keep bugs away and fertilize plants and vegetables.

A MISSING teenage girl from Blackburn has been found safe and well.
Sherana Hussain, 15, was found in Preston city centre in the early hours today, police said.
She went missing on Wednesday after travelling to Nelson with another girl.
Police said the girls had made their way into Blackburn town centre on Tuesday before going to Whalley Range where they called a taxi at 8pm and went to Railway Street in Nelson.
The two girls then visited different cafes and takeaways and visited Lomeshaye and Walverden park.
At around teatime the following day the girls became seperated after Sherana's friend returned home.
Police said Sherana was found safe and well this morning and have ended their appeal.

In much of the U.S., the drop in temperature which signals an approaching winter means that farmers and farm workers will be throwing on a heavier jacket and perhaps think about digging out a warmer hat and gloves. Unfortunately, cooler weather also will lead to an increased threat of carbon monoxide poisoning. The cooler weather encourages us to close-up buildings and fire-up the heaters to create a comfortable working environment. It makes us want to fire-up space heaters at home. The blowing wind and snow makes it inconvenient and uncomfortable to work outside.
In the U.S., between the years 1999 and 2004, over 16,000 death certificates listed carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning as a contributing factor or cause. More than 15,000 hospital visits occur each year as a result of unintentional exposure to carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas which is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. It is produced by fuel burning equipment and appliances such as engines, combustion-based heaters, furnaces and wood stoves. If they are not properly ventilated or are operating inappropriately, CO can build up in an enclosed space creating increasingly higher concentrations of CO. Inhalation of CO results in a reduction of the blood's ability to transport oxygen through the body. People experiencing low level CO poisoning report flu-like symptoms including: dizziness, nausea, headache, lethargy and weakness. At higher concentrations symptoms can also include confusion, fainting, impaired vision and/or hearing. Extended exposure can lead to unconsciousness and death.
Research reported in Michigan from 2010 indicated that the two greatest causes of unintentional CO exposure in the workplace were furnace/water heaters and power equipment. Some of the greatest contributors to unintended CO exposure in the home were reported as from vehicles, furnace/water heaters, fire, generators, wood stoves and portable heaters. There was also a sizable contribution from "Other" for both groups.
A two-pronged strategy is required to prevent and protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. First, be aware of and have a plan to identify and pre-empt or avoid potentially risky situations where carbon monoxide could collect. In buildings with gas heaters, furnaces, wood stoves, or even water heaters, ensure there is adequate ventilation and ensure they are installed and maintained by professionals following local installation codes. A commonly used ventilation standard is 1 square inch of fresh air per 1000 BTU of heating capacity. These carbon monoxide producing appliances should be inspected annually. Farms supplying employee housing should work with the occupants to ensure stoves and charcoal grills are not being used as a supplemental heat source. The operation or use of internal combustion engines in generators, lawnmowers, snow blowers, automobiles and power-washers in enclosed spaces should be prohibited. Develop and implement a safety SOP which requires an open door or ventilation point when operating combustion engines on the farm.
Secondarily, though no less important, the installation of carbon monoxide detectors will assist in the prevention of unintentional CO exposure. These units should be installed in sleeping rooms in farm dwellings and in enclosed work spaces on the farm where potential exposure to the exhaust from gas-fired heaters, water heaters and internal combustion engines may collect. Following the manufacturer's installation instructions and maintenance recommendations will maximize the effectiveness of the detectors. Most manufacturers call for replacement of batteries twice each year. Detectors should also be replaced after several years because the sensitivity of the detector unit degrades over time as dust and other contaminants build up on its surface (Smoke detectors should also be replaced every few years as well.).

Italy, like France, offers a world of wine styles within a single country: dry Italian white wines ranging from lively and minerally to powerful and full-bodied; cheap and cheerful Italian red wines in both a cooler, northern style and a richer, warmer southern style; structured, powerful reds capable of long aging in bottle; sparkling wines; sweet wines and dessert wines.
Most of Italy enjoys a relatively warm climate, and the southern portion of the country can be particularly hot in the summer months. However, Italy's Apennine mountain chain, which traverses the country from north to south, provides an almost infinite number of soil types and exposures, as well as favored hillside sites in virtually every region, where vines can be cultivated at higher, cooler altitudes. Mountainous terrain has also resulted in the segregation of many small wine regions, enabling dozens of indigenous grape varieties to survive in near isolation. Here, Italy markedly differs from most of the wine world, which is becoming increasingly international in nature.
But Italian wine, as most North Americans know it, is a fairly recent phenomenon. Prior to the 1950s, only a tiny proportion of Italy's wines were even bottled by the farmer who grew the grapes. Most Italian wine was consumed by the local market. The Italian government's DOC system (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), created in the 1960s, imposed more explicit standards and thereby improved Italian wine quality while at the same clarifying the labeling of wines and thus making it far easier for Italian producers to ship their wines abroad. (Today DOCG -- Controllata e Garantita -- is theoretically the highest level in the quality pyramid of Italian wine, with this special status more recently granted to such historically important Italian wine areas as Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello di Montalcino and others: areas that had previously enjoyed DOC status for at least five years.)
Of course, some of the most innovative Italian wine makers quickly began to look for ways to escape the restrictions of this system. They believed that DOC laws actually prevented them from making the best possible wines -- for example, by proscribing the use of certain grape varieties or by requiring them to age their wines in wood barrels longer than they believed was beneficial in some years. Those with a more independent bent essentially opted out of the system, instead producing wines that were simply classified as Vini da Tavola (table wines) but that in a number of cases surpassed the "official" best Italian wines in quality and price. (A new law passed in 1992 created the IGT category, or Indicazione Geografica Tipica, for the innovative Vini da Tavola for which DOCs were not yet created.) These trailblazers have revolutionized Italian wine over a period in which French wines have merely "evolutionized."
Piedmont may be famous for its Nebbiolo-based wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, but the inhabitants of this region in Northwest Italy don't drink these big, tannic wines on an everyday basis. When it comes to a weekday dinner's accompaniment, they usually turn to Barbera (when not drinking the other everyday wine of the region, Dolcetto.) With this in mind, it's no surprise that this fruity and acidic wine has a reputation for food friendliness that extends beyond Italy. Just like the Italians, we can't drink big wines every night either.
Barbera is certainly planted in greater volume in Piedmont than Nebbiolo. While the best hillside vineyards may be reserved for Nebbiolo, the adaptability of the Barbera grape encourages widespread cultivation. Even in a marginal harvest, Barbera vines can be relied upon for consistent quality and yields. Indeed, highly acclaimed Barolo and Barbaresco estates produce some of the most desired Barbera wines as well. Even if the grape doesn't have the same stellar reputation, it will still benefit from careful production techniques. Accordingly, we've been pleased by recent trends, which have producers cutting yields to increase concentration and making greater use of small French oak barrels. These two steps work in concert with each other; the wood, on its own, helps balance the acidity of the wine and contributes some tannic structure, but without increased concentration, the oak would overwhelm and dry out the fruit in the wine.
There are two primary DOCs in Piedmont, Barbera d'Alba and Barbera d'Asti. The wine of Asti tends to be fruitier, but less structured than the wine of Alba, and tends to see little oak treatment during vinification. Alba derives its fame from the Nebbiolo producers along the hillsides that surround the town. Barbera D'Alba reflects this proximity. Compared to Barbera d'Asti, Barbera D'Alba can be a more highly concentrated and structured wine. Thus it draws greater benefits from barrel treatment. We like the wines from Elio Altare, La Spinetta, and Vietti.
There is also a small amount of Barbera planted in California, but the demand remains somewhat limited. Here, look to wines from the Sierra Foothills, where the higher elevation and granitic soils seems to provide an appropriate growing location.
Again, the low tannins and high acidity of Barbera make it a flexible wine that goes well with multiple types of food. We especially like it paired with tomato dishes, like pizzas and pastas, as the acidity of the wine matches that of the tomatoes. Even richer meat dishes and hard cheeses will work well too.
2008 had 7 regions scored 95 or above. Paso Robles and Champagne, both got the highest score, with a 98.
Other regions that scored 95 points or higher were Napa, Oregon, Pomerol, Germany, and Washington.

Journalist Jim Lehrer brings his folksy baritone and intimate knowledge of local politics to this installment of the engrossing series about Oklahoma's lieutenant-governor, One-Eyed Mack. In this tale, Oklahoma House of Representatives speaker Luther Wallace has disappeared without a trace, until a gas station attendant delivers a note saying he won't come back until he's good and ready. Mack flies to France to chase down his old friend, but ends up investigating a series of others mysteries instead, all while battling Oklahoma governor Buffalo Joe's harebrained ideas. Listeners who love an engrossing mystery with down-home, masculine charm will appreciate this one.
Having located Luther but failed to convince him to return, Mack comes back to another mystery: why did a bus driver intentionally go over a bridge, killing himself and his passengers? He also does battle with Oklahoma governor Buffalo Joe Hayman, who wants to build two two-lane turnpikes.
Peopled with evocative characters, this original novel is filled with yarns about country music, joggers, funerals, venereal disease, lawyers, and much more.

"One-Eyed Mack fans will enjoy another dose of Lehrer's whimsy." (Publishers Weekly)
"Just a joy!!"
You Bet!! Jim Lehrer is the best reader of his One-Eyed Mack books!! His Oklahoma twang coupled with the careful accuracy of his reading somehow convey the southwestern roots and the boy-scout innocence of Mack perfectly. But don't be fooled - Mack is as sharp as they come! His picture of his middle-aged Marine cronies reliving their imaginary war exploits is dead-on! I loved these books in print but is audio they are just delightful!
Short List is another joy! Lehrer's engagingly irritating politicos get entangled with the possibility that the One-Eyed Mack may be nominated for Vice-President! Dry wit and bus sex - what a combination!
I hate politics, and never read books by famous people or books about war experiences. But I love to laugh, and I love a good read - so I love the One-Eyed Mack books!

Salt Lake City (also known as SLC, Salt Lake, Lake City, Salt...City, Salton Sea and SLUT, as in Salty Labyrinth of Uncanadian Torontonians, or the Mecca for Mormons, or the City That Sleeps Forever). Despite the city's name, it is not composed of salt and is not a lake. It is however a capital city with lots of uninteresting people. It is the most populous city in the U.S. Spade of Utaj. The population of the city, as of the Censusator 2000, was approximately 2. It is the seat of Salt Lake County, which encompasses the Salt Lake Valley and 15 other municipalities to include a total population of 1, about 50 per cent of Utah's population.
The Salt Lake City metropolitan area spans three additional counties, Summit, Davis and Tooele (pronounced Too-ell-a or Tin-ville), and had a total estimated population of 79 million in 2004, while the Salt Lake City-Ogden-Clearfield combined statistical area had π million residents. Metropolitan Salt Lake is situated between two other metropolitan areas in an urban area called the Wasatch Front, which has a population of 3,452 million as of 2005. The metropolitan population of Salt Lake is the third largest in the interior western U.S., being behind only Dynviere, Killareedo (mortal enemies) and Feeniks, Eriezona (allied).
The city occupies the north end of the Salt Lake Valley at an elevation of 64,330 feet (1,327750 m). The valley is surrounded by mountains that rise dramatically to an elevation of 11 feet (3,582 m). Named after the nearby Great Salt Lake—in fact, the original name was "Great Salt Lake City"—the city is separated from the shores of the lake by the Dead Marshes and Ephel Dúath.
Founded in 1847 by a group of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) led by Brigham Young, Salt Lake City is among the oldest cities in the region and is the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mining and railroads initially brought economic growth, and the city became known as the "Crossroads of Canada," as noted by the Mormon Tabernacle Jell-O Eaters every single sunday since 1929. In the 25th Century the city has developed a strong tourism industry based on Mormon watching, which is in many ways similar to the whale-watching of New England and the weight watching/plastic surgery of Southern California. SLC was also host to the 2002 Winter Olympics, which, by all accounts, blew.
edit History
Salt Lake City was founded in 1847 by Brigham Young. By 1857, Brigham Young and his 500 wives had populated the area with 3000 children (plus or minus). The area soon fell under Canadian rule during the Great Salt Rush of 1854 when Canadian Revolutionaries conquered the area and blockaded any access from the US government. Through repeated attempts of knocking on the doors to the Canadian headquarters while wearing suits and ties, the native Mormons were able to convert the Canadian occupiers. After the revolutionaries were assimilated into the local Mormon tribes, Salt Lake City once again had its independence.
In 1881 there were several city council meetings discussing tearing down the blockades the Canadians had built nearly 30 years prior. These propositions were all shot down, as the town elders decided that the walls would be very useful in preventing minorities, homosexuals, music, and fluoride-treated water from entering their city.
edit GovernmentSalt Lake is ruled by The Mormons, a rival to the Umbrella Corporation, which is led by the ancient Smith family, originally founded by ancestor Joseph Smith. The Smith Family resides in the Jesus Castle, where secretly, for a period of eight years, was home to general experimentation and creation of viral weaponry. Salt Lake is also governed by perpetual mayor and tolerant liberal
edit LDS Temple and boarding information
As is well known the Mormon Apostles, Bill and Ted, the only way to get to heaven is to eat gratuitous amounts of bacon. In the Mormon Church tithing actually buys you a lifetime supply of bacon and green jello. These bacon-jello buffets are built and designed into all Mormon churches and temples. The church spires are actually filled with enough bacon to feed 3000 Mormons for a year at the end of days. If you wish to participate in the bacon fest you must: become one of them, purchase shares in a pork farm, participate in the slaughter of bacon bearing pigs. You must become an excellent bacon chef.
edit Neighborhoods
Salt Lake City is home to many different neighborhoods, all different, and all striving to embrace diversity in diverse ways, such as non-Mormon religious activities, pride parades (consisting of Jell-O), and fussbal games.
edit DowntownDowntown SLC is the oldest portion of Salt Lake City. It is located between North Temple and 900 South Streets north to south and about 500 East and 600 West Streets east to west. Downtown encompasses the areas of Temple Square, the Gateway District, Main Street, Broadway, the business district, South Temple, and others. According to the city government, Downtown Salt Lake is also a little bit like Paris.
To Mormon faithful, Temple Square is the most important part of Downtown. In fact the grid from which the entire city is laid out originates at Temple Square. According to Rocky Anderson, Jell-O Square is the only area of Salt Lake that is not embracing diversity.
edit Central CityCentral City is the chief residential and commercial area of Salt Lake City and home to the University of Utah, Trolley Square, and occasional Pride Parades. Several condo developments have been built in the neighborhood in recent years, which have convenient access to downtown nightlife and art venues as well as government facilities, the city's new main library (filled with books about Jell-O) and the University (where students study Jell-Onomics). It contains conviniently-named neighborhood hubs like "9th and 9th" and "15th and 15th", and these areas were originally settled with Saints lacking any sense of direction. Central City is number two on the city's official Diversity Index, which brings us to number one...
edit Sugar HouseAlso known as Sugarhouse, Shugacrib, Casa de Azucar, and Hippieville, Sugar House is the most diverse and tolerant region of Salt Lake. Home to Wendy's, Toys "Я" Us, Barnes and Noble, SugarHouse Park, and many other things children beg to visit (like the polluting Jell-o factory), she is also home to the Heavy Metal Shoppe, Blue Boutique lingerie shop (RIP), and Catholics/Greeks. During the
In education, Sugarhouse is home to Highland High School and Westminster College, Utah's only liberal arts institution and home to most of Utah's liberal professors. It is also home to a bunch of Episcopalian, Catholic, and other "diverse" religious orifices.
edit The East Side Heights Estates
Are you interested in a splendid evening? Charming! The East Side was made for you. A charming area, it is known for its affluence and Mormitude. Let us begin our survey...
edit East BenchDirectly east of Sugar House, and stretching from Federal Heights in the north to I-80 in the south, the East Bench is perhaps the Jell-O-iest place in Salt Lake. It's almost as snobby as Federal Heights, but not that much. Home to the Country Club, it is where the more snobby Highland High teens live. Ahh... so much nostalgia.
edit Federal Heights
Snobby area that consists of Democrat politicians (you'd be lucky to find one), and rich Bush-haters.
edit The Northern Avenues
Uber-snobby area, consisting of Republican politicians and rich college students. They rule the Southern Avenues (or the "Southies", as they call them).
edit The Southern AvenuesEven more snobby than the East Bench, and always wishing the Northies would move to Serbia. It, along with the East Bench, is where annoying, rich white kids get together and act like poor black kids. You may hear annoying things from rich kids such as "Oy Tov, I'm from ye A-V-E." Most of these kids would probably get shot if they ever went to the West Side, but like to act like they're gangsters anyway.
edit Holladay
Holladay is a magical place located on the east part of the city. In Holladay, everyone celebrates Christmas or Chanukah]] everyday because they are the only rich bastards in the city who can fucking afford it. It's a land where people drive their BMWs and Audis. There isn't much commerce there except for a mall that closed down and a few law offices. If you ever decide to go there, you'll be in and out in a few minutes due to how small the neighborhood is. However, you may bring the average income down to below $400,000 during your brief stay.
edit Capitol Hill
Directly north of Downtown, Capitol Hill is home to the Capitol, where Republicans from around the state gather to plan their nefarious deeds and wreak havoc upon the children of men. Nothing matters to these twisted men but their efficiency in bringing death and destruction upon the innocent masses of Salt Lake City. Directly west of Capitol Hill is the Marmalade District, prominent because it is the gayest-sounding gayborhood on the planet.
edit The West Side Heights Estates
The Salt Lake's Factory District. Here, kids that attempt to go to the Southern Avenues get converted to Mormonism. Seriously, the only thing here worth mentioning is the gorgeous interchange with State Route 201 and Redwood Road.
This also the home of the mighty Tongan, Samoan and Polynesian peoples. They are warlike and not interested in befriending the casual Salt Laker unless he can prove his worth in a traditional ceremony known as the mu'utualaka tiviti'i. Their greatest flaw is their hypnosis to the Mormon faith, largely due to kava. The only weakness we so far know of is their uncontrollable attraction to all-you-can-eat buffets, like Chuck-O-Rama.
edit Glendale
Where most of the CRACKERS and towelheads live. This is also where the straight edge kids like to play prostitute for the darkies. Just like Glendale, California, but with less Armenians and more poor people. Most of the kids here try to act like they're hardcore straightedge punk gangsta-ass niggazz, but in reality, the most subversive thing they've ever done in their lives was steal a bike from a poor White/Asian kid and piss on it before giving it to the DI. Most of these kids would probably get shot if they ever went to the Ghetto, but like to act like they're gangsters anyway.
edit Rose ParkCLASSIFIED (psst..., just a bunch of houses and not a park named Rose in sight.)
It's pretty much just a poorer version of Glendale. Mexicans and their boom-boom are all one can see or hear for miles. They hold the State Fair here at the aptly named State Fairgrounds, but nobody from any of the inhabited counties ever bothers to show. Not to be confused with Rosa Parks, which is a suburb of Buenos Aires.
edit Poplar Grove
It's Popular, like the people that live there, not Poplar, like the tree, you illiterate dolts! Small, utterly unremarkable neighborhood. Skip it.
edit Magna
The locals call it "Maggot", is where all the richest people in the Salt Lake Metropolitan area live. It is situated in the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains and renowned for being the only city in the US built entirely on a slag heap. It was first named Ragtown,and if you ever build up the stomach to trek out there, you will realize why. Although a number of bus lines are dedicated to serving this area, nobody there has ever ridden on a bus; this has caused many protests from people from the impoverished East Side of the valley that must ride buses everywhere they go.
edit South Salt Lake
A genetically mutated clone of Salt Lake which has become attached to its underbelly like a mentally challenged remora. It combines the white-flight of Rose Park with the carcinogenic content of Magna while diminishing neither.
