Maryland triumphs as Zusi strikes again
- |
FRISCO, Texas - Graham Zusi has been a member of Maryland's two NCAA men's soccer championship teams in the past four years. The latest one was the sweetest.
Zusi's second-half goal gave second-seeded Maryland a 1-0 victory over 13th-seeded North Carolina in the title game yesterday.
Maryland (23-3-0) took the crown in 2005 when Zusi was a freshman who contributed off the bench. This time, Zusi was one of the Terrapins' senior leaders.
In the semifinals, the attacking midfielder notched the game's only goal in extra time to beat St. John's. Then, on the season's biggest stage, Zusi came through again with the game's lone goal.
"Both were special in their own ways," Zusi said of his two national titles. "But I'm extra happy to be a part of this one."
Maryland, which finished the season with a 16-game winning streak, beat North Carolina (15-8-1) for the third time in as many meetings this season in the first all-Atlantic Coast Conference final in the 50-year history of the tournament.
The Terrapins had winds gusting to 25 miles per hour at their backs in the first half and they had four shots on goal to none for the Tar Heels as coach Sasho Cirovski urged his team to press early.
Maryland didn't get the break it needed until there was 23:50 left. Tar Heels defender Eddie Ababio blocked Jeremy Hall's shot, but Zusi blasted the rebound into the left corner from 18 yards out past goalkeeper Brooks Haggerty.
"It's being in the right place at the right time, trying to step up when the team needs me most," said Zusi, chosen the tournament's Most Outstanding Offensive Player. "I was able to curl it around [Haggerty]."
Haggerty had little chance to get a hand on the winner.
"It bobbled around, [Zusi] was wide open up top, and he had all the time in the world," Haggerty said.

Mike & Molly's Reno Wilson on the Show With Big Jim & Stacy Lee [INTERVIEW]
You may know him as the quick witted cop Carl McMillian on CBS' hit show "Mike & Molly" but did you know this talented actor has lent his voice to some blockbuster movies like "Transformers" and "Transformers 2″?
Reno Wilson is a native New Yorker who grew up with a blues pianist father and a opera singer mother. You can see him in the feature film "Bolden," in which he plays legendary Jazz icon Louis Armstrong.
He plays the voice of "Frenzy" in Transformers and "Mudflap" in Transformers 2 and you'll hear him as "Brains" in Transformers 3. Very talented guy.
I personally love him on "Mike & Molly" which air Monday nights at 9:30 on CBS. Check out his hilarious interview with Big Jim & Stacy Lee.

wikiHow to Avoid a Parking Ticket
Numerous cities around the world use traffic wardens to raise additional revenue. The best way to avoid paying a parking ticket, is to simply park legally and avoid getting one in the first place.
1Use public transport to travel into city centers and congested areas. The simplest defense against parking violations is not to park in areas that are heavily patrolled by traffic wardens.
2Read signs and notices carefully, and obey them. Watch for time limits, red curbs, and times of day when parking is restricted; even for street sweeping. Also watch for driveways, fire hydrants, disabled parking spaces, loading zones, and other things that should not be obstructed.
3Assume parking time limits are enforced. Set a timer, and do not exceed the posted time limit.
4If parking is metered, pay the meter. Then, set a timer on your phone or wristwatch, or carefully note the time before you walk away. Remember to allow enough time to leave and reach your vehicle before the time expires.
5Bring money to pay for parking in paid garages and lots. Many cities have them, and paying for parking is generally cheaper than paying a ticket.
6Read the information on any parking pass or permit you buy. Should you leave it visible in your car or on your dashboard? Should you take it with you and pay before leaving? If there is an attendant, ask questions before you leave.
7Allow extra time in your journey to find a parking space. Especially if there is a big event or if you anticipate heavy traffic, leave earlier. There may be more legal parking places available, and you will be less tempted to cheat or chance it.
8Park some distance from your destination and walk. Depending on your location, there may be legal street parking available if you don't mind walking.
9Keep your vehicle registration current and your vehicle in good repair. Even a legally parked vehicle may attract enforcement attention if it appears to be abandoned or if the tags are expired.
10Park facing the same direction that traffic drives on that side of the street. This may mean making a U-turn or going around a block, but it may also mean avoiding a ticket.
11Park in marked spaces, if spaces are marked. This is true even for parallel parking.
12Try out websites and smartphone applications. Some can help you find parking; others can warn you if there has been heavy enforcement in a particular area.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- If you visit a certain location often, take some time to learn the ins and outs of parking there. Is it free and legal to park on the street outside of business hours? Is there a side street without parking restrictions? Do others report heavy enforcement?
- If you do get a parking ticket, pay it as soon as you can. Parking tickets that go unpaid accumulate additional fees and fines.
- Alternatively, you could drive so far then take the bus, train or taxi to wherever you're going.

Hurry Up Run and Get Healthy
For all those guys and gals who are sitting behind a computer all day long. I didn't really mean for you to hurry up and run to get healthy. Think I really meant just hurry up and do something for yourself!
Here is something to watch to get you
5 Exercises To Fix Hunchback Posture Caused by Slumping Over a Desk or Computer All Day
I haven't really lost it. but after blogging around a lot lately, I kept reading these little bitty comments like:
- "think I need to head back to the gym,"
- been so busy lately haven't been outside,
- need to watch my health,
- not enough exercise…
so…maybe get motivated…
I was very lucky to find this video by Marc Perry the founder of Built Lean!
It is just what the doctor ordered!
We all tend to do the same things…get so engrossed in finishing a task like uploading all those emails, writing a new blog post, updating plugins!
The list is endless. But our time and good health aren't.
I also noticed that my back and "computer posture" weren't so great. When you get into
the habit of slumping over while sitting and working it can become painful after awhile. 5 exercises to fix a hunched back will work…if we take a break and do them.
Mini or little workouts can be scheduled through out your day, even if it is just getting up and walking around for 5 minutes at a time. Be surprised when you aren't so tired and sore at the end of your working day.
Hunch back exercises aren't going to fix a real hunch back if you don't start them before your bad posture becomes permanent.
What do you do for a break or exercise while working?

Madre Fire in Azusa, California: Fire 70 Percent Contained at 250 Acres
The Madre Fire in Azusa, California has grown to 250 acres on Tuesday afternoon, as 450 personnel are battling the blaze.
The fire is now 70 percent contained, as of 5:36 p.m. PDT.
Full containment is expected by Friday.
Evacuees have returned to their homes, L.A. County Fire Department Inspector Keith Mora told KPCC.
The fire is completely west of Highway 39.
Encanto Park has been closed and is being used as a staging area for water dropping helicopters, according to the city of Azusa. The fire is "still burning deep in Angeles National Forest," it said.
Three homes were evacuated on Foxtail Court in Azusa Monday. The fire is burning in the San Gabriel Canyon west of the entrance station, next to Ranch Road and State Highway 39.
The U.S. Forest Service describes the location as "the mouth" of the canyon.
The fire moved into Los Angeles County Monday night. In the Mountain Cove neighborhood, 25 homes were threatened and residents recommended to evacuate, but that recommendation was lifted after the danger passed, reported KTLA.
Several photos shared on Twitter on Monday showed the fire very close to houses (see photos below). Aerial video showed the fire burning near homes off San Gabriel Canyon Road, or State Highway 39.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the city of Asuza says that "the chance of someone being involved is high."
A smoke advisory was issued on Tuesday for areas of the San Gabriel Valley and the San Bernardino Mountains.
Azusa Avenue into the canyon was still closed early Tuesday, but Sierra Madre was open for east- and west-bound traffic.
Roads closed because of the fire include:
-Highway 39 (residents only)
-Encanto Parkway (residents only)

Steal these Ideas: Kids Room Inspiration from the Small Cool Contest
Loving the Small Cool contest this year? Me too! But...aren't these entries all inspiration for singles in hip studios downtown? No! There is inspiration here for us too - those of us whose lives revolve around bedrooms with cribs and bunk beds, who have living rooms with Cheerios hidden in the rugs. Without further ado: here's some more inspiration for your kids' spaces from this year's Small Cool contest.
1. Paint a wall-sized piece of art (from Maura's Bold Design Elements). It wouldn't be too hard to replicate the fantastic wall art in Maura's space - some painters tape and small pots of colored paint tinted at different intensities would do the trick. Wouldn't something like this look amazing in a bright kids' playroom? And it might visually enlarge the space, too. Maura says herself "be bold! Large design elements in a small apartment can make your place feel bigger and add cohesion."
2. Hang a large object (like in Ana's Pretty Camoflauge). Guitars are beautiful, and bulky, so here Ana's got them hanging on her wall. It gets me thinking...what, of all that bulky stuff our kids have, could become functional art in a children's space? A handed down toy semi-trailer? Their easel? A child's bicycle?
3. Double up that desk (as seen in Emily's Stylish Small Home). Two school-age kids in one room? What about an along-the-wall desk option, which could be replicated like this one using a piece of lumber from your local hardware store, as well as legs and drawers easily available at IKEA. Think of all the potential storage underneath!
4. Dust off Grandma's Quilt (as seen in Nana's Things That Make Her Smile). A few of our entries this year have featured vintage quilts and blankets, proof enough that your old patchwork or crochet quilt really can bring a tiny bedroom to life. A brightly colored quilt like the one above in Nana's room would be perfect for any vintage or eclectic styled kid's space.
5. Don't forget the power of the loft (as seen in Kate's Garden Oasis). The loft! So much can be said about the loft! If you are one of those special few blessed with high ceilings, do consider raising your kid's bed. Look at what you can fit underneath. Literally - the kitchen sink. Though I'm not quite sure why you'd want a kitchen sink in a kid's room, but anyway. Play kitchen, perhaps? Study area? LEGO wonderland?

Once you have answered these questions, you need to determine whether your website offers quality information that will allow prospective customers to make and act on a decision immediately. If you have the right content and offer the ability for them to choose a size but no way for them to reserve a unit, they may just move on to the next website that does. There are those who prefer to call your facility, but if you don't offer a way for people to reserve online, you'll lose those potential sales. So why take that chance?
Your website should have the following as a basic set of tools:
- An interactive map so customers can find you
- A unit-size guide so they know what to rent
- Information about sizes and rates, and a way to reserve the unit online
- A short (and I mean very short) form for inquiries
- A phone number prominently displayed for those who are not ready to reserve online
Measuring Success
How do you track and verify the effectiveness of your website? I don't mean simply tracking Web visitors or search-engine ranking. Even though they are a part of the overall marketing equation, we're mostly interested in rental tracking here.
If you get 1,000 visitors to your website, isn't that good? Just about anyone who understands the basics of Internet marketing can deliver 1,000 website visitors. The real question is, what are those visitors looking for and do they buy anything? What if you were paying for those visitors and they only purchased at one tenth of one percent? Is that good enough? What is the return on your investment for these visitors? These questions will help lead you to find the right answers.
For example, if you received 1,000 clicks to your website and paid $2 per click, you just spent $2,000. Some would stop here and say that's a good deal. However, you can't determine how good a deal it was until you know how many rentals came from those clicks. It's a good deal only if you acquire each tenant at an acceptable cost per acquisition. If you end up with 20 rentals ($100 per rental), that may be a great deal for you; but if you only receive two rentals at $1,000 each, that doesn't seem like a great deal after all.
In short, there are three things you need to do to successfully promote your website. First, build an SEO-friendly website that looks good enough to keep visitors engaged. Second, continuously market that website everywhere you can. Third, make sure the site functions well enough to convert at the highest possible percentage. Remember, if you can track the rental conversions back to the dollars you spent, you have yourself a roadmap to success.

In 'Rust and Bone,' Marion Cotillard provides the center for an overextended narrative
There's a certain frustration to roughing out the story of Rust and Bone, say to a couple of interested friends over drinks.
See what I mean: a Belgian drifter with a side-gig in extreme fighting meets a sexy whale trainer who loses her legs in an accident; healing sex, a lucrative fight career, and perfectly deployed pop songs ensue. There's the element of improbability, modish detail; the promise, worst of all, of sentimental uplift disguised for your comfort in art film rags.
Story Continued Below
Here though, beyond the pinch of reducing any great film to its story points, is the double injustice of doing so when the film concerns two characters pitching themselves against some pretty brutal narrative limits.
So while I want to do right by Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) and Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard), two recognizable people in extreme situations, I find myself describing what might pass, with a few tweaks, as a punked-out fairy tale. Which is to say I am describing a Jacques Audiard movie. Audiard (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, A Prophet) pours classic themes into less familiar shapes, often using a heightened style to elide his weak points, which tend to involve overly figurative characters and overdetermined plot. He shrinks the big stories he likes to tell down to the scale in which he likes to tell them, with some elements making the transition better preserved than others. The result is a disproportional quality that has come to feel fundamental to Audiard's ambitious but persistently uneven work.
The opening scenes of Rust and Bone establish the fringe existence of Ali and his young son Sam (Armand Verdure, a sweetly poised, watchful presence). The pair make a hobo's journey from Belgium to Antibes, where they are taken in by Ali's sister, Anna (Corinne Masiero), who shows Sam more care in a few quick organizational strokes than his self-involved father has managed at a much longer stretch. Ali, tall, broad, and narrow-eyed, begins working the door at a decadent nightclub, where he meets Stéphanie, small, serious, and coldly self-possessed.
I say "meets" but "crashes into" is closer: their bond is baptized in violence, specifically a brawl that bloodies them both. It's unclear whether Stéphanie was the aggressor or the victim or some pissed up combination of the two; driving her home with less-than-gallant intentions, Ali observes that a skirt that short was asking for trouble. Audiard (who adapted the script with Thomas Bidegain from two stories in Canadian writer Craig Davidson's collection of the same name) invites us to admire Stéphanie's bare legs along with Ali, then share her disgust with his casual sexism. She takes his number anyway, an unflattering measure of her current, briefly glimpsed boyfriend.
Like the camera peering between them from the back seat on that drive home, we move between Stéphanie and Ali for the rest of the film. Focus shifts onto Stéphanie for a while, long enough to depict the marine park accident that cripples her. It's a masterfully compact sequence that draws the sensory chaos of the show—pounding music, frenzied crowd, tensely choreographed SCUBA-clad trainers, giant L.E.D. screens, the warped grandeur of killer whales leaping in synchronized time—to a grimly organic end. In this moment of trauma and others, Audiard favors subjectivity over spectacle, sensing when a slight remove will actually bring us closer to an out-of-body experience. Two powerful images linger: Stéphanie framed from below, floating in an ink puff of blood; then held in a single, static long shot as she wakes alone in a hospital bed to find—slowly, unthinkably—that her legs are gone.
Ali, meanwhile, has taken a job as a security guard, and been drafted into a private fight club for extra cash. He seems to hate his son, who resembles him, and animals, who are filthy and undisciplined, but that's as close as we get to an expressed psychology. Ali is all body and impulse, though his hands are cold, as Sam remarks more than once. He's most animated when watching other men fight on YouTube, and most alive when other men are watching him pound and be pounded. Before her accident, she later admits, most of Stéphanie's sexual excitement was bound up, briefly anyway, in watching and being watched, each new man a match flare in the dark.
Isolated in her recovery, Stéphanie reaches out to Ali, who will at least come when called. In their shared scenes—first depicting his fleeting, unfazed attention in the face of her need, then her enlivening interest in his fights, and finally his curt offer to oblige her with sexual servicing whenever he's "operational," like a train—Audiard blends the perspectives he has been alternating. We see them seeing each other, an effect that enhances the sense, at work in their separate scenes, of two subjectivities slowly knitting together.
Audiard never settles on a clear storyline, showing his characters to us the way they reveal themselves to each other, in fragments that here and there let in a rare blade of light. Stéphanie seeks to invest meaning in her connection with Ali; he will only gamble on the present moment. Ali accepts Stéphanie without comment, but then he accepts most things much the same—even, as a subplot involving the installation of union-busting security cameras at his sister's workplace illustrates, if they work against the family interest. His is a sloppy morality, less selective than short-sighted: Ali has no plan, and has yet to understand that part of his attraction to organized fighting, paradoxically, is the momentary relief it offers from drift, casting him in a drama with a beginning, middle, and end.
Stéphanie, by contrast, is desperate to transcend the division of her life into before and after, to find a throughline within or without. Cotillard's ability to telegraph staccato series and combinations of emotion in long, unbroken lines gives human complexity to what could have been a ruinously bathetic role. The actress's raw beauty is more poignant for feeling wrapped around something hard at her center; at its most translucent here, it seems both a protection and a product of that hardness. That center stabilizes a story overextended with symbolic and dramatic freight. A last glimpse of Cotillard's attenuated silhouette, following the punishing climax to Ali and Sam's story, is as close as Rust and Bone gets to something whole.

A bicyclist who was fatally struck by a garbage truck in San Francisco's Mission District this morning was not wearing a helmet, police said.
The collision was reported shortly before 6:45 a.m. at 16th Street and South Van Ness Avenue.
The 21-year-old male bicyclist and the garbage truck were both traveling east on 16th Street when the truck began to make a right turn onto South Van Ness, police spokesman Officer Carlos Manfredi said.
The bicyclist, who was traveling at a high rate of speed, collided with the rear of the truck, Manfredi said.
The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is not being released until his family is notified of the death, according to the medical examiner's office.
The mangled white bicycle ended up a block away along a curb on 17th Street. The truck driver stopped and cooperated with authorities, and drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision, police said.
The investigation into the crash and the cleanup of the scene caused police to shut down South Van Ness between 16th and 17th streets for about two hours.
The garbage truck is owned by Recology, which issued a statement following the collision.
"Recology staff responded immediately to this morning's accident and we are fully cooperating with police investigators," the statement said. "Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to family members of the cyclist."

Assassin's Creed II
Review by Scottie theNerd
Reviewed: 01/03/11
Nothing is true.
Ubisoft does not waste time or effort to capitalise on the success of Assassins Creed. In between the end of the first game and the release of the sequel, weve seen plenty of pre-release material that teases the mind with the grandeur of Renaissance Italy, including an epic mini-series titled Assassins Creed: Lineage. The sheer amount of creative effort bodes very well for Ubisofts second outing in the world of Assassins Creed.
Assassins Creed II continues immediately after the events of the previous game, in which the player-controlled Desmond Miles breaks out of his cell in the Templar-run Abstergo Industries and links up with a splinter group of modern-day Assassins. Eager to get his own back at his former captors, Desmond is ready and willing to delve into his genetic memory to uncover the hidden truth and prevent the Templars from gaining ultimate knowledge and power.
Thus, Desmond assumes the identity of his Renaissance ancestor Ezio Auditore of Florence. Immediately we see a big shift in the tone and development of the characters and plot of the second game. While Altair of AC1 had a rather simple background and the game panned out as a list of people to kill, AC2 presents a far more dynamic story that spans over fifteen years of Ezios life. Starting from his young playboy roots, Ezio encounters a political conspiracy involving his family and, as he later learns, the Templar plot to knock off the leaders of all the Italian city-states and gain control of the masses. With his family betrayed and executed, Ezio begins his mission of vengeance, guided by unlikely allies such as Leonardo da Vinci. Along the way, he learns the Assassins creed: that nothing is true and everything is permitted. Truly, everything you see always seems to have something more to it.
On that note, there is a lot more to see and do in Italy than there was in the Middle East. The cities are much larger and feature beautiful visuals that incorporate many historical elements in their design. There are more places to visit, including numerous historical landmarks that, rather conveniently, have database entries that you can read to learn about what youre standing in front of. The storyline missions are mostly linear in that you can immediately go from one to the next, but thats actually a good thing. Its predecessor suffered from severe repetition of having to do the same menial pickpocketing and eavesdropping that wasnt very exciting, while the sequel does away with the mundane and allows the player to smoothly go from one story-based mission to the next.
That isnt to say that there arent any side missions. In fact, there are tons of things to do, and Assassins Creed II is a perfect demonstration of how to create an open-world gaming experience. As you go through the story missions, you unlock side-missions as you go along. These include familiar missions such as races and beat-downs, as well as assassination contracts and treasure hunting. Given that the main quest line has a lot of variety, it can be forgiven that there arent a lot of side missions, but appropriately numbered and spaced so that you dont become bored of doing the same thing. Likewise, the necessity of climbing lots of tall buildings to synchronise your map isnt as important this time, although free-running fans may still do so for the thrill and the sake of being a completionist.
The free-running in this game isnt much different from the previous game, although the environments certainly are more interesting to look at as you blaze across rooftops. Much credit to the developers for being able to strategically place every single ledge, sign, arch or scaffolding to allow you to get to places you think you cant. It makes for a smooth running experience while still challenging your deftness in making decisions over where to jump next. Special mention goes to the hidden tombs that are accessible at certain points in the game, allowing players to test their free-running skills against the clock in some of the most challenging 3D platforming; some of which feature the interior of some of Italys grandest buildings.
The combat aspect has been given a nice lift too. Generally speaking, combat has been streamlined by removing some redundant elements, such as power attacks, and providing a set of new skills, such as grappling, bare-handed fighting and disarming. To go with that are a broad range of new weapons including maces, hammers and long and short blades, as well as weapons that can be temporarily taken from enemies such as axes and spears. Ezio acquires a set of not one but two hidden blades that can be used in combat as well to assassinate multiple targets. Progress also unlocks several upgrades to the blade, including the poison blade and pistol.
The abundance of these tools offers a far greater range of options when it comes down to how to approach your missions. In AC1, Altair was stuck with a fairly limited approach and the choice of sneaking in for a stealth kill or being gung-ho with swords swinging. Ezio, on the other hand, uses more subtle elements to make things work his way, including some nice new features in the game.
Say you are following a target to complete a mission and you come across a checkpoint with four guards. You could do the usual free-running to get over them or choose to fight them, but the scenario and setting might not allow for either. Instead, you could use your poison blade to subtly inject a guard. Stepping away, you can watch the guard gradually succumb to the toxin. They dont just drop dead, however. They begin having seizures and spasms, grabbing their weapon and swinging madly, hitting everyone in the way while the crowd looks on, allowing you to slip past without having to do any of the dirty work.
Or, you can hire one of many factions to distract the guards. Courtesans will flirt with anyone walking by, thieves pick their pockets and get them to chase after, and mercenaries will attack the guards, allowing you to easily kill guards from behind. A small mention goes towards the smooth backstabbing instant-kills, which make the tactical removal of strong enemies important in large group fights.
Still want a different approach? Now you can blend in with the crowd freely. In AC1, blending came in the form of doing a side mission to join a group of monks to move from A to B. In AC2, the streets of Venice, Florence and even the villages of Romagna and Tuscany are heavily populated. By attaching yourself into a small group, you become merely a face in the crowd and invisible to guards looking for you. No more contrived walking-with-old-men; you can camouflage anywhere there are people. This adds an incredible depth to the game, especially in sections that require subtle movement across large areas without drawing any attention.
The game doesnt get any easier despite these tools. Enemies are fairly generic but grow in strength as the game goes on, sporting more armour and better weapons. To match this, Ezio is able to upgrade his own equipment through the many shops now accessible in towns. Purchasing at blacksmiths provides new weapons and stronger sets of armour; doctors restore health and provide potions; tailors allow you to dye your clothes while art merchants offer treasure maps and Renaissance paintings. While a painting wont help you in battle, it serves to decorate your villa, which serves as a base as well as a deposit for all the mementos you collect throughout the game and serves as a physical embodiment of your progress. A lot of time will be spent collecting items just to make your villa the number one attraction in Italy, and admittedly its quite fun to be a perfectionist.
In general, it feels that the developers have taken their lessons from Assassins Creed and put more effort and content to make a more satisfying experience. The sheer immersion factor is astronomically high. You feel actually want to see the sights and sounds of Italy. The visuals are beautiful and varied, taking you from the canals of Venice to the wetlands of Forli. The game has a real day/night cycle that gives you a different view of city life at any hour. Even something as easy as racing against the clock becomes more epic as the gorgeous music comes in, offering the best in chase music without Benny Hill overtures.
There are some problems, of course. The controls are a bit sticky, especially using the mouse and keyboard, and there were several moments where I found myself swearing because of a missed jump or stupid camera panning, especially during the timed sections. Combat does get repetitive, but given the amount of ways you can fight, I found myself experimenting with every weapon and disarming foes just for fun, so there are ways to make fighting more interesting. Plus, theres just so much to do and choose from that you can avoid parts you dont like with little detriment to the main game.
Full marks to Ubisoft for pulling this one off. Where Assassins Creed was a bit of a teaser in what an open-world, free-running historical third-person adventure game could do, Assassins Creed II actually does it. The characters and plot are engaging, the depth of the story memorable, the conspiracies unveiled almost sacrilegious. It clear that Ubisoft have a good franchise on their hands now, and we can hope that even better sequels push this idea to new realms.

Lingenfelder makes a wide spectrum of wines from different grape varieties and vineyards, of different colours (white, red, rose), German Quality Levels and styles (bone dry to sweet; light and fruity to full-bodied and oak aged). We let Mother Nature direct us through her creation of the weather for a particular vintage and by the action of only native yeasts for fermentation. We do not make exactly the same wines every year.
Current Releases are the Lingenfelder wines currently for sale at the
winery, available to our distributors and the most likely to be found
in our diverse retail markets.
Of all the grapes of Germany, the most noble is the Riesling - a variety that can do well even in stony soil and can subsist on a minimum of moisture. It is also frost-resistant and a very dependable bearer of high quality grapes which have an acidity level that gives the wine a racy freshness and contributes to its long life.
To reach its full potential, Riesling needs extra days of sun; ripening is very late, usually not until the latter half of October. Riesling produces elegant wines of rich character with an incomparable fragrance and taste, often reminiscent of peaches, or when young, apples.
In 1996, the vineyard area planted with Riesling exceeded that of Müller-Thurgau, thus making it Germany's premier grape variety in terms of area (ca. one fifth of all plantings). It is grown throughout German wine country.
Lingenfelder Estate grows Riesling on two premium sites on the sloping hills just north of the picturesque medieval town of Freinsheim as well as the "Easter Hill" vineyard that looks down on our home in Grosskarlbach
Goldberg Vineyard
Musikantenbuckel Vineyard
Osterberg Vineyard
Late Harvest
Scheurebe (pronounced "shoy ray beh") is another new crossing that is well established in a number of regions. Bred in 1916 in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, it is a crossing of Silvaner and Riesling. It ripens in early October, but the late-harvested wines of this grape are those that are treasured most. The wines have full body, pronounced acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of black currants. Scheurebe is most widely planted in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Nahe regions.
We grow Scheurebe on two premium sites on the sloping hills just north of the picturesque medieval town of Freinsheim Goldberg and Musikantenbuckel Vineyards) as well as the "Castle Lane" (Burgweg) vineyard that looks down on our home in Grosskarlbach.
Goldberg Vineyard
Musikantenbuckel Vineyard
Burgweg Vineyard
Silvaner is an old variety that once was the most important grape in Germany. Today, it accounts for some 7% of the country's plantings. A reasonably abundant producer, it likes average exposure to the sunshine and needs moist soil. It ripens about two weeks earlier than Riesling. Silvaner makes a rather full-bodied, neutral wine with a mild acidity, and is generally best enjoyed while young. A traditional variety in Franken, Rheinhessen and Saale-Unstrut, there are also extensive plantings in the Pfalz and an enclave in the Kaiserstuhl district of Baden.
Our small Sylvaner vineyard stretches along the crest of the Musikantenbuckel (Musician's Knoll) vineyard that looks down on the neighboring town of Freinsheim.
Musikantenbuckel Vineyard
Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir)
In Germany, the Spätburgunder is to red wine what the Riesling is to white wine: the cream of the crop. Sensitive to climate and soil, it needs warmth (but not intense heat) to thrive and does well in chalky soils. As the name implies, it ripens late (spät) and it was brought to Germany from Burgundy, where it has probably been cultivated since at least the 4th century (first documented, however, in the 14th century). Called Pinot Noir in France, this grape produces elegant, velvety wines with a distinctive bouquet reminiscent of bitter almonds or blackberries. The traditional style of German Spätburgunder is lighter in color, body and tannic acidity than its counterparts from warmer climates. Many contemporary winemakers, however, are producing wines that are more international in style, ie fuller-bodied, deep red wines with higher tannin levels. Often the wines take on more depth and complexity (and a light vanilla tone) if they are aged in small (225-liter) oak casks. Just over 7% of Germany's vineyard area is devoted to Spätburgunder, primarily in the Ortenau and Kaiserstuhl districts of Baden; it accounts for over half the plantings in the Ahr.
Our Spätburgunder is planted on limestone soil in the Burgweg Vineyard that slopes down to the the backyards of the houses in our town.
Ganymed is our Pinot Noir that we make only during exceptional vintages. Named after the Greek sommelier to the gods of Mount Olympus, this premium wine is aged in new oak barriques, which gives structure to the wine and allows it to develop interesting character with age.
Burgweg Vineyard
Among new varieties, the Dornfelder shows great promise. A prolific, relatively early ripener, it produces wine far deeper in color than is typical of German reds. In fact, it was initially bred (1955, in Württemberg) to serve as a blending wine to improve the color of pale reds. Today it is prized on its own as a fragrant, full-bodied, complex wine with a fairly tannic acidity. The Dornfelder wines fermented and/or aged in oak casks (including Barriques), in particular, fetch high prices. From 124 ha in 1979, the vineyard area has expanded to 2,599 ha in 1997, moving Dornfelder into third place (after Spätburgunder and Portugieser) among red wine grapes grown in Germany. The Pfalz and Rheinhessen regions have the most plantings.
We have Dornfelder parcels in both the Burgweg and Osterberg vineyards that surround our home here in Grosskarlbach.
Onyx is our Dornfelder that we make only during exceptional vintages. Made only from the ripest grapes, it is matured in oak barriques and gets its name from the deep indigo color of this deeply extracted wine.
Osterberg Vineyard
Satyr is our sparkling wine made from 100% Riesling grapes, and is only produced during exceptional vintages. We believe our Satyr is unique in the world of sparkling wine production in that there is no additional sugar used in the making of this wine. In traditional Champagne and sparkling wine production, crystal sugar (from sugar cane or sugar beets) is added to the wine at two -- and sometimes three - stages of the production. This addition of crystal sugar moves the finished wine away from being a natural product made from grapes. With our Satyr, you get pure Riesling flavour, not some sugar beet/Riesling hybrid flavour.

* Prices may differ from that shown
=== The story ===
Bella Rossi is handed her parents business, a wedding planning business, just before she is thirty and this book centres around Bella and her adventures as she plans weddings for people and potentially falls in love along the way.
=== Where can I buy this & for how much? ===
This can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk. There are two versions, the Kindle e-book, currently retailing at £3.46 and the book, in paperback, for £8.06. You can also purchase a large print version for £21.06. All prices are current November 2011.
=== Overall opinion ===
I purchased this book because of the low price. Back in May 2011 I purchased the Kindle version of this book for free. I believe that this was in the top 100 free Kindle books and my main reason for purchasing this was that I was due to get married and after lots of other wedding related book purchases both online and from the Kindle I was recommended lots of various related books. The cook of this book is quite cute. It is a couple (male and female) standing together by what looks like a lovely place to take your wedding vows. It's simple but gets across the message of what this book is generally about.
The story of this book is very interesting. From the beginning I felt like I learnt lots about Bella. She is trying hard to carry on the family business, while still having a social and personal life, and it is fair to say that she has a hectic life. There is lots going on throughout the book, from start to finish, but I found this very easy to keep up with and there were lots of times that I did not want to put this book down, hence getting it finished so fast.
I ended up reading this book in just a few days. I found that it was intriguing, interesting and attention holding throughout and the story line, and characters, kept me captivated until the final, slightly predictable in places, ending. The story line is strong, as are the characters and this definitely made for a fun read. I felt like there were a few predictable places in the book, however, this did not take away from the enjoyment of the story for me. I felt like I got a little insight in to the stress that a wedding planner must feel and it is always nice to learn something new. Bella's family is full of wonderful characters, a few of whom were similar to people I know, and this added a little something extra to the book as it did not feel like it was just centred around Bella.
This book was short enough to keep my interest but I did feel like the ending was a little rushed in places, hence the 4 out of 5 star rating.

26 missing in flooded coal mine
Twenty-six miners have been trapped for two days in a flooded coal mine in northeastern China.
The state-run China Daily newspaper said rescuers were rushing to pump water from the mine in Qitaihe, in Heilongjiang province, but had not yet made contact with the trapped miners.
It said the mine filled with water on Tuesday when workers broke through into an adjacent flooded pit. Nineteen miners escaped to the surface.
Reports said seven officials have been detained over the suspected illegal operation of the mine.
China's mines are notoriously deadly, although safety improvements have cut annual fatalities by about one-third from a high of 6,995 in 2002.

Buffalo school superintendent says she has no plans to hire Guinn as second-in-command
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown said she has no plans to hire consultant Mary E. Guinn as her new second-in-command for the Buffalo School District, even as speculation continues to swirl that Guinn may still have a future with the district.
School Board members said Wednesday afternoon that Brown has told some district leaders this week that she would like to hire Guinn as interim deputy superintendent.
But during Wednesday night's board meeting, Brown told The Buffalo News, "That is not my plan at this point in time."
She went on to say that the district is considering whether to renegotiate a short-term transition contract with Guinn's employer, the Cross & Joftus education consulting firm, or whether to allow the existing contract to simply expire with three months' notice.
Brown said it's possible that Guinn might return to the district as a leadership consultant, a role she held before the School Board voted this month to terminate the Cross & Joftus contract. But she said Guinn is not in contention for the vacant deputy position.
"There is not a plan for her to serve in an interim deputy role," Brown said.
It appears that Brown would be able to appoint a deputy superintendent without board approval, based on state education law, because the district has earmarked money in the budget for the position of deputy superintendent.
At Wednesday night's meeting, board member Carl P. Paladino tried to gain a commitment from Brown to inform the board of her choice for deputy before she actually hires the person.
Brown said she would "introduce" the person's qualifications but gave no commitment that she would do so prior to making a final appointment to the job.
There would be hurdles to finding Guinn a permanent place in the administration. Though some board members said Brown has expressed an interest in seeing Guinn take the interim deputy superintendent post, Guinn would have to agree to take the job and, if interested, would have to find a way to extricate herself from her current position as a subcontractor with Cross & Joftus. She also would have to gain New York State certification as a district administrator.
Guinn began serving as interim deputy superintendent in March, though not employed directly by the district. Her Cross & Joftus salary was covered by grants from the John R. Oishei Foundation, the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and Say Yes to Education. Her responsibilities included assisting in the search for a permanent deputy superintendent. The district interviewed a number of applicants without hiring.
Instead, Brown asked Guinn to stay in the district as a consultant and agreed to pay her $290,359 – $72,000 more than the superintendent makes – for a year, plus travel and lodging expenses.
This fall, Guinn came under increasing criticism for both her salary and her role in the district. Board members expressed concerns that she seemed to be assuming responsibilities for daily operations beyond her consultant role.
Cross & Joftus has asked to withdraw from its yearlong contract with the district. Brown said that both sides may simply agree to terminate the district's existing contract with three months' notice.

Pastoral manager Sarah Clementson had to climb over rows of food to get into her office – but it's now all been given to the Salvation Army.
Sarah, who works at Penwortham's Priory Academy said: "It even spilled into the corridors!"
Mountains of food were collected by pupils at the Crow Hills Road technology college as part of a non-uniform day treat.
Sarah said:"I am part of the One Voice Choir.
"We did a concert two years ago in aid of the Salvation Army.
"I saw the work they did and so we decided that instead of the children bringing £1 on non-uniform day, they would bring non-perishable food such as tins and cereals.
"This is the third year it's happened now and it has grown considerably."
Between them staff and pupils amassed enough food to pack a mini bus, which was delivered to the Preston-based food bank in time to help fill the tables of the needy.
Sarah added: "In our first year, we were amassing food for 60 families who would struggle over Christmas – and we thought that was a lot. Now it's for more than 600 families which shows how much it has grown and how much it is needed."
It is estimate that in December alone the food bank sent out more than 400 food parcels and 200 hampers.
Sarah added: "It was superb to see it all in my office even though I had to climb over it!
"It's good to know we can make a difference."
Pupils at Christ The King Catholic High School in Preston have also been giving up their time, and their foodstuffs, to help make life easier for the needy.
A shopping trolley is placed in the reception area at the Lawrence Avenue, Frenchwood, school every Friday morning in support of the St Augustine's Food Bank, which looks after poor families in the city.
The appeal was started with the donation of a shopping trolley by Waitrose at Walton-le- Dale and sweets and toiletries from Booths in Penwortham.
It was also supported by the Lancashire Evening Post.

Coming up with a regional sewage treatment plan could be a very costly situation.
But, on the other hand, it might be just as costly to do nothing.
The second in a series of public meetings on the Salt River Watershed sewer work group was held recently in Louisville. The few who attended listened as engineers with Strand and Associates outlined some of the options and the costs.
Bullitt, Jefferson and Oldham counties have the only agencies that are part of the work group.
Some choose shooting stars, wishing wells or candles on their birthday cake when it comes to making long-shot wishes.
The Humane Society of Oldham County used the newspaper and just before the New Year, what was once a wish became a reality.
The independent, no-kill shelter was the focus of a story in the Nov. 26 extra edition of The Oldham Era, where they made their wish for 10 acres of land known for the first time.
With a new mayor and four new members of the council, things are likely to start slow when it comes to new legislation in La Grange, Mayor Joe Davenport said.
The new council met for the first time Monday night, with Davenport, who spent 20 years as a councilman, in the mayor's seat this time. Joining Davenport were first-time council members Shannon Pottie, Ann Zimlich, Stephanie Chalfant and Trey Kamer, as well as former mayor Bill Lammlein, who is now a councilman.
It was just the first meeting of the year for the city council in Pewee Valley Monday, but the members were already prepared with ideas for the New Year.
Council members agreed that they would like to focus most on the reformation of the Town Square.
Mayor Bob Rogers said the biggest goal for the year would be trying to gain outside funding for the project.
"We're focusing our resources on the project," Rogers said.
The former county road superintendent and his father have been indicted on a handful of charges, relating to an investigation into the misappropriation of county materials that started in April.
Lance Eric Lashley, the former superintendent, and his father Jack Eric Lashley, were indicted by an Oldham County grand jury in December. The two were directly indicted by the grand jury and have not been arrested or appeared in court on the charges.
With the New Year comes new resolutions, chief among them are new bodies after holiday eating.
And while Oldham County has its share of gyms in the area, one in particular is hoping a new start in a new building equals serious change for their customers.
Body Under Construction, owned by Rob Jones, was most recently based in Crestwood. But after outgrowing its facilities there, the gym is now located in Buckner, off Old La Grange road.
The New Year will bring some changes to the North Oldham Fire Department.
Beginning Jan. 1, the NOFD will be going from a volunteer and paid staff to one paid crew to provide both day and night fire protection coverage, according to Chief Tim Conway.
"Over the years our qualified volunteer numbers have dwindled and participation levels of many of our volunteers has gotten sparse," Conway said. "We are not providing the fire protection coverage our taxpayers deserve."
Apple Patch Community Board of Directors Chairman Steve Moss announced today that Joe Spoelker has been appointed interim Apple Patch Executive Director effective Monday. Steve also announced that Apple Patch will commence an executive search to recruit a permanent Executive Director after the first of the year.
One of Oldham County's own is being honored for her work in promoting science throughout the area.
Tracy Green, the director of communications and development for Oldham County Schools, will receive the designation of Ambassador of Science Literacy from the Kentucky Science Center at the end of January.
It was back in 2007 when one of Cedar Lake Lodge's residents, an aspiring actress, suggested to her caregivers that she wanted the adult day health care to perform a holiday classic.
Fast forward to Christmas 2014 and Cedar Lake Lodge residents made Tammy's dreams come true by performing, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Residents performed the Christmas spectacular late last week at Cedar Lake's Enrichment Center.

" Genre: Sports / Release Date: 2009-04-03 / Published by Blade Interactive "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Having always been a fan of sports games on the consoles I am someone who tries hard to have a variety available to me (currently I have football, American football, basketball, ice hockey, cricket, golf, tennis and boxing) but snooker is not one that I have ever been that interested in (all those years back I owned Jimmy Whites Whirlwind Snooker on the Amiga) but following on from a colleague at work telling me that he had this game and to give it a try I took a look and found it for less than £10 delivered so picked it up and wanted to let people know what it is all about.
The game is, rather obviously, a snooker simulation but does also offer up pool for those more keen on the faster game. I am going to review the snooker side of the game as this is what I play.
The game starts out by allowing you to select what you wish to play which for me was to go through designing my own player. Here you will select how to spend skill points, design your body, hair, face and even your outfits in order to have a player who represents you in your matches. Once you have your player designed it is time to move on to the season play where you will go through qualifiers matches to see if you are able to qualify for tournaments...don't get dis-heartened when you don't reach the tournaments as I have found it a challenge too with patience definately being needed in large doses but stick with it and you will see improvements.
The game is well developed with a good standard of graphics and a well thought out control system but this does not make it an easy game as one mistake can lead to your winning or losing being outwith your control so concentration is a major requirement. The commentary is good throughout the game but some of it will get on your nerves with the likes of "no position there" then becomming "brilliant positioning for his next shot" which is a bit annoying but I have found I am not noticing it much after a few plays. Their is some commentary also where you will hear comments about getting a cup of coffee or about sandwiches which for me is something that can make you feel slightly like snooker is a boring game which for me it isn't.
If you are into snooker as a game (don't have to enjoy watching it) then this is a great game for you and one I could see myself playing with a few drinks and some mates around as it is something where missing the easiest of shots is something that can happen and you need to laugh off.
Overall an excellent offering which I have been informed by people I trust has had huge improvements over the previous offering from the year before.

Stoner set to make V8 Supercars switch
20 January 2013 – Casey Stoner is set to contest the Dunlop V8 Supercar Series in 2013, the second rung of Australia's touring car ladder. According to The Sunday Mail, the double MotoGP World Champion will make his debut at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide next month.
Stoner, who has long been linked with a move to the V8 Championship, retired from motorcycle racing's top echelon in 2012. After testing for Triple Eight Racing last December, the former Ducati and Repsol Honda rider is now in line to race a Holden VE Commodore in the feeder category, competing with his traditional #27.
Stoner added that thoughts over a MotoGP return have not entered his mind, with the Australian still feeling comfortable about his decision to leave the sport.
"I've got no thoughts whatsoever at this time of ever even thinking of coming back to Grand Prix racing," explained the 27-year-old, who claimed 38 victories in MotoGP. "I'm not changing my mind every couple of minutes. The money doesn't interest me."
The 2013 Clipsal 500 meeting takes place over four days from 28 February to 3 March, consisting of two 250 kilometre races at the famous street circuit.

Imagine the Dual Sport adventures you could have with this bike if the stock seat wasn't beating you to death! We're here to help with a seat model that offers all the comfort of Corbin's ergonomic designed combined with the functionality of a motorcross seat. Exactly what you needed to make the best of your 450X model! Corbin's saddle combines a shape suitable for aggressive riding along with comfortable ergonomic shaping for those moments you're actually planted in the saddle.
We know you have to keep your body moving to get through the corners quicker, so the shaping provides free movement from rear fender to tank. Notice how you can slide all the way up the tank to coax your bike through that sandy corner or unhindered all the way back to the fender and skim over the whoops. When the opportunity arises, just slide back into the central seating position and enjoy a wider, dished area that supports your body.
This dished shaping creates more square inches of body contact for added support and elimination of hot spots. We build it up with our exclusive Comfort Cell foam for a firm ride that stays resilient indefinately. Under that, our rigid Fibertech base material provides a firm foundation to support the foam shape and the carefully designed ergonomics. If you live where it's still legal to street register off-road bikes, imagine the Dual Sport or Super Motard you could make with a setup like this!
Foam density makes a difference: Too soft and you feel like you're bouncing off the basepan, too hard and you may as well be sitting on the fender. Our Comfort Cell® foam is cast into a shape that gives you the proper blend of resilience with long lasting support. The sculpted seating platform provides plenty of lateral support when you slide rearward and is sculpted narrower in the front for ground reach and mobility.
On top we use only the highest grade of weather resistant materials for durability and long life. The "Grabber" material shown here has been discontinued, so we recommend either black Husky or Carbon-Fiber in the seating panel for good looks and functional grip. Along the sides, our Asphalt material gives a different texture or a custom appearance while still providing plenty of grip. Naturally, the material selection is completely up to you even is you just want a plain black saddle... we aim to please. Corbin's saddle installs just like stock with brackets premounted on the seat.
