Review for Town & Country Ford Body Shop
Susan M. on 06/27/2013
Susan said the staff there was very attentive to her needs. They called her and kept her updated. They also emailed her the estimate. They took her rental vehicle back so she didn't have to deal with that at all. She really appreciates them walking her out and going over her vehicle with her instead of just handing her the keys. She will bring her vehicle back and recommend anybody else that needs their vehicle repaired.

Very thin frame that feels like its made out of wood, yet has the word Graphite in its model name. Kinda, sorta similiar to the Head Vilas design yet thinner beam. Features the Rossi inverted V bridge at the bottom of the head. Typical Rossi high quality manufacturing with a beautiful black finish. Anyone have any info on this frame, i.e. time frame sold, materials, play characteristics, etc.? Thanks -k-

text: First thing - don't always believe dealers. You can do this math yourself, or call another dealer and get them to run your VIN, and forward you the specs so you know for sure. Also, I don't think I mentioned it but 2000lbs = 1 ton. A 4500 truck can haul 3 tons and a bit more, but a 3500 has an absolute max of no more than 3 tons. Take 3 tons, or 6000lbs, and subtract the weight of the driver, fuel, weight of the dump bed (say 1000lbs), and any other aftermarket equipment such as pintle hitch, spare tire (generally an option on one tons, so another 75lbs) and usable payload is roughly 2 tons, or slightly less. That would equate to around 5 perhaps 6 yards of mulch with a lower than usual moisture content, or 4 yards with a higher moisture content.

At least eight employees of a US-based non-governmental organisation were kidnapped in Surkhab area of Pishin district, some 50 kilometres from Quetta, on Monday night.
All employees from the American Refugee Committee were Pakistani nationals and were returning from an Afghan refugee camp in Pishin when they went missing, Balochistan Levies officials said.
"We do not have any idea about where they are," Pishin's Deputy Commissioner Mansoor Kakar said, adding that all efforts were being made to ensure their recovery.
The district administration officials and investigators were annoyed by the aid organisation because it informed the police about the abduction eight hours later.
Sources said that the victims were kidnapped around 10 pm on Monday night and the police was not informed until 2 am on Tuesday, giving the kidnappers enough time to take the men to a place far away. However, a search was mounted in the area.
Witness accounts said that there were 12 kidnappers.
Home Secretary Zafarullah Baloch said a team has been constituted under the supervision of the deputy commissioner to probe the incident and carry out a search operation with the help of residents.

Baroness Blatch: I am sorry to come back again but there are two questions, one of which the noble Lord has not answered. First, will the resources that will be needed to service the organisation committees, the adjudicators and all the attending costs be a matter for deduction from the funding for local education authorities? Secondly, the noble Lord a moment ago said that the adjudicator would be appointed by a local committee. The Bill says the adjudicator will be appointed by the Secretary of State.
Lord Whitty: On the second point, I think I said that they would be appointed by the Secretary of State through an open process of application. We will both check Hansard tomorrow. Whether or not I said that, I certainly intended to say it, and that is in fact the case.
As far as the funding is concerned, the estimate of any additional funding in this puts the cost relatively low, below £1 million, against which has to be set the current cost of what are, in effect, appeals to the Secretary of State. I stress that that is £1 million in total, but against it has to be set the current costs of appeals to the Secretary of State. The whole point of this process, to answer the noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, is that clearly the local education authority is the constitutionally responsible body. But its position will
Baroness Thomas of Walliswood: The noble Lord is now saying that these school organisation committees will be exercising the powers of the Secretary of State. But how can they do so in conflict with local authorities, which are also exercising their powers under statute? It seems to me that the internal inconsistencies of these clauses are not fully apparent to those sitting on the government Benches. We shall really get ourselves into a muddle on the ground in trying to work out who does what under the system. As I understand the decision-taking process, there are no fewer than 10 potential stages in the school organisation plan alone. That already is many more stages in decision taking than most local authorities ever become involved in. It will mean increased bureaucracy, which is very dangerous, time consuming and expensive; but, above all, it means that we are moving into internal inconsistencies in the legislation.
In response to an earlier intervention, the noble Lord said that what he wanted to do was institutionalise existing systems of consultation. Again, that wish could be satisfied if we were to agree, as set out in my noble friend's amendment, that these committees would work "in an advisory capacity". The fact that they appear to be decision-taking committees is causing the difficulty.
Lord Baker of Dorking: It seems to me that the Government must decide under which flag they are actually sailing. A moment ago the Minister said that this is a measure of devolution to the local community. However, a few moments later, he was forced to admit that the adjudicator is to be appointed by the Secretary of State on local advice. All of us who have served in government will know what that means as, indeed, will the noble Lord. In effect, the Secretary of State will largely decide who is to be the adjudicator.
The noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, was chairman of the Surrey County Council, when I was a member, which introduced considerable changes in education, some of which were most controversial and some totally wrong. However, we will not go into that aspect of the matter. None the less, it all went through a democratic process and not to an adjudicator; indeed, I took delegations to my successors as Secretary of State. As far as I can see, that will not happen in the future. The adjudicator has been put forward and I have no idea whether or not he will receive delegations from councillors, local residents and local parents. Quite frankly, I do not believe that the Government have the remotest idea in that respect. This is actually administration on the hoof and the Government should recognise that fact.
Lord Peston: Before I begin, perhaps I may declare an interest, or lack of one, in that I have never been elected to anything in my life. Indeed, I never deigned
As I see it, the local education authority still remains responsible for organising education in its area. Indeed, there is a section in the Bill which refers to drawing up an organisation plan. I have interpreted it as going in the following way; namely, to follow the example given by the noble Baroness, Lady Young, that the plan will include the possibility that a school will be closed. Alternatively, it may include a provision stating that such an occurrence might happen in due course.
It seemed to me that the Government's intention was to try to find a way, when controversy arose, to ensure that the matter did not revert all the way back to the centre. That is my reading both of what the Bill says and what my noble friend the Minister said. In other words, they are trying to find a method of saying, "We agree that there is a problem here. We agree that you're rowing about it. We are trying to set up a structure that will still enable you to sort it out at the local level if you possibly can". I understand the role of the school organisation committee to be just that.
In saying that, I speak as someone who is as committed as anyone in this Chamber to local government--just to echo what the noble Lord, Lord Baker, said in his earlier intervention. Indeed, I am fully committed to local government. However, I do not see this as being necessarily antipathetic to local government; I see it as a way of trying to say to those concerned, "Can't you at your level possibly sort this out without it going to the Secretary of State?" If one objects to the non-democratic nature of the adjudicator, it seems to me, from my experience of advising Secretaries of State, that one should not believe--but perhaps the noble Lord, Lord Baker, will tell me that I am wrong--that they have actually looked in detail at such local matters. He or she would certainly have had the equivalent of a non-elected person saying, "This is a load of rubbish. If I were you I would do the following", but the Secretary of State would, of course, carry the can in such cases.
I have no great problem about the adjudicator, if such a process will work in practice; in other words, if we can persuade those concerned at the local level to move towards taking harsh decisions. The noble Baroness, Lady Young, is completely right. My experience as regards taking decisions about closing anything is that there will always be an objector. My favourite example is the case of trying to close a public lavatory, let alone a school or anything of that kind, where it becomes a matter of major constitutional importance. We should not doubt the fact that the noble Baroness, Lady Young, is right to point out that rows will occur.
What I am trying to say in support of the Government is that they are trying to introduce a process whereby they are saying to those concerned, "Can't you do it at your level? Can we not set up a structure so that you
Lord Baker of Dorking: As the noble Lord mentioned me, perhaps I may point out that the actual receipt of suggestions for school closures is one of the matters which keeps Ministers and Secretaries of State for Education busy. In fact, the decision is not perfunctory; indeed, it is not taken lightly. As my noble friend Lady Young said, there is always an objection. One invariably sees delegations. They often nobble Ministers in the Lobby in the other place and demand to be seen. So Ministers see them and that means reading the case, as well as receiving one delegation in favour and one against. It is not perfunctory; it is actually part of our quaint democratic system working in practice.
Baroness Young: When I was an education Minister the happy task of looking at school closures fell to me. I recall quite clearly the numbers of Red Boxes full of submissions on each school. I saw delegations both in favour of the school in question and against it. As my noble friend Lord Baker said, the difference is that, in those cases, you could get the intervention of an MP and the matter could actually be raised in Parliament. After all, Ministers are all responsible to Parliament in some way. It is a new constitutional principle to have an adjudicator appointed with, as far as one can see, unlimited power to make a decision without any kind of an appeal over and above the local authority and, presumably, without there being any opportunity to raise the matter in any other forum, such as Parliament. This really is a matter which is worthy of further consideration.

Picture: Pete Yorn The Amsterdam One Dam Good Night held at 79th Street Boat Basin New York City, USA - 15.05.05
Singer/songwriter Pete Yorn had no idea Scarlett Johansson could sing when he asked her to be part of his latest musical project - and feels like he struck gold.
Yorn confesses he dreamed up a collaboration with Johansson after listening to Serge Gainsbourg's 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot, and he admits he was more interested in his music partner's sexual allure than her singing abilities when he got in touch with her back in 2006.
He says, "It (her singing) wouldn't have mattered. It was more about her presence and attitude. But I got lucky that she has an amazing voice... she picked up everything really fast."
Johansson, who is married to actor Ryan Reynolds, made her music debut last year (08) with an album of Tom Waits covers, entitled Anywhere I Lay My Head.
Yorn and Johansson's new album, Break Up, has been critically acclaimed.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who campaigned on reforms to the controversial NYPD stop-and-frisk program, is already touting progress.
As WCBS 880's Rich Lamb reported, the police practice was the Democrat's biggest campaign issue and helped propel him to the top of the pack during the primary.
Mayor de Blasio acknowledged that, despite its resistance, the Bloomberg administration reduced the number of stops and frisks.

Photographer's Note
Little Hagia Sophia (Küçük Ayasofya Camii), formerly the Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus, is a former Eastern Orthodox church dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus in Constantinople, converted into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire.
According to later legend, during the reign of Justin I, his nephew Justinian had been accused of plotting against the throne and was sentenced to death, avoided after Saints Sergius and Bacchus appeared before Justin and vouched for Justinians innocence. He was freed and restored to his title of Caesar, and in gratitude vowed that he would dedicate a church to the saints once he became emperor. The construction of this Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, between 527 and 536 AD (only a short time before the erection of the Hagia Sophia between 532 and 537), was one of the first acts of the reign of Justinian I.
The new church lay at the border between the First and Τhird Regio of the City, in an irregular area between the Palace of Hormisdas (the house of Justinian before his accession to the throne) and the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. Back then, the two churches shared the same narthex, atrium and propylaea. The new church became the center of the complex, and part still survives today, towards the south of the northern wall of one of the two other edifices. The church was one of the most important religious structures in Constantinople. Shortly after the building of the church a monastery bearing the same name was built near the edifice.
After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the church remained untouched until the reign of Bayezid II. Then (between 1506 and 1513) it was transformed into a mosque by Hüseyin Ağa, the Chief Black Eunuch, custodian of the Bab-ı-Saadet (literally The Gate of Felicity in Ottoman Turkish) in the Sultan's residence, the Topkapı Palace. At that time the portico and madrasah were added to the church.
Due to the increasing threats to the building's static integrity, it was added some years ago to the UNESCO watch list of endangered monuments. After an extensive restoration which lasted several years and ended in September 2006, it has been opened again to the public and for worship.

Hello Aleksander,
This is a nicely composed shot of this old church. The angle of the shot is great allowing us to see the depth of the scene. The trees provide nice framing of the shot. The sky provides a good backdrop. The lighitng is good as is the color and sharpness.

America's best read urban weekly | Learn More »
It's Spokane's first-ever Restaurant Week, so can we all agree, for the time being, to suspend the snarky stereotypes of posting photos of food on social media? Sure, it's got the requisite Tumblr and McSweeney's lampoon — hell, the New York Times was already on it like, back before @NYTOnIt existed — but forget all of that.
During Spokane Restaurant Week, we actually are curious to see and hear about what you're eating, so here's a roundup of some of the tweets, photos and stories so far. If you're going out this week, dine and tell with the hashtag #SpokaneRW.
An uncooperative man dies at the county jail over the weekend after being tased and restrained. (S-R)
A body was found in a ditch along a remote road near Medical Lake. (KHQ)
Police are seeking information about a shooting near the Logan neighborhood this morning, since both shooter and victim left the scene. (SPD)
Talk of a state insurance exchange dominates town hall in Coeur d'Alene. (Cda Press)
The horsemeat scandal extends to IKEA meatballs, which is apparently a very popular dish at their stores in Europe. (NYT)

An Ohio man found Jesus in the bird droppings on his windshield. (Newsnet 5 via Gawker)
Ben Affleck might have been "snubbed" in the director category, but it turned out to be his night at the Oscars after all. (Boston Globe)
And my whole Twitter feed agreed that Seth MacFarlane was a terrible host and Anne Hathaway's acceptance speech was terrible. I don't know if everyone loved the puppy purse carried by 9-year-old star Quvenzhané Wallis, but I'll assume they did. (E!)

Hunter's Point
- Artist: Hunter's Point
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 4/22/2008
|your cart is empty
Hunter's Point has been described as a blend of contemporary female artists such as Fiona Apple and Tori Amos, while incorporating a rock edge reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Incubus. While they are certainly of the rock genre, HP incorporates more complex harmonies in their songs, adding a hint of bands like Steely Dan. Hunter's Point recently teamed up with engineer and producer Lynne Earls (K.D. Lang), to record their debut album. Released in April 2008, the album has truly given HP a way to define their place in the music scene. While establishing a solid sound, they were able to explore musical possibilities, finding a freedom that gives the album exceptional energy and drive. Hunter's Point was originally formed in 2006 by Tahkus Ekedal (vocals & piano) and Peter Boskosvich (bass), both graduates of the LA Music Academy in Southern California. Fellow alums Jackson Allen (guitar), and Mike Hughes (drums) have since completed the line-up. Originally driven by Tahkus' songwriting, the band has truly evolved through the combined creativity and influences of all band members.

Greetings and welcome to Kevin's Korner. Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. – Nelson Mandela
The Iowa GOP State Central Committee passed a good bylaw during Saturday's marathon meeting: "No officer of the Republican Party of Iowa (including the Finance Chair and Legal Counsel) or member of the State Central Committee (including Iowa's National Committeeman and National Committeewoman) shall receive direct or indirect compensation from a campaign." …
The motion passed 14-3 … The rule is good and will prevent some of the conflicts of interest we've seen in the past. But it's far from perfect. I think it goes too far by banning members from working on general election campaigns …
In other ways, the bylaw does not go far enough in ending the conflicts of interest on the SCC, which were on full display last week with Jeff Shipley's email, sent via his Liberty Iowa PAC account. Shipley denigrated Republicans who don't fit his ideology, signed off using his SCC title, and used his status as SCC member to raise money for the PAC …
There's also nothing in the bylaw that prevents SCC members from working for PACs like Liberty Iowa, which recruits and endorses candidates in primaries. SCC member Joel Kurtinitis also works for the Liberty Iowa PAC.
Kurtinitis was in such a hurry to pass the Doland Amendment that he suggested the SCC should go ahead and pass it now, then fix it later. Those comments prompted Kurtinitis' fellow SCC members to compare him to both Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi during the meeting … That'll leave it mark …
The Doland Amendment would have the state convention delegates elect the state chair and co-chair, instead of the SCC. After more than two hours of debate, the decision was finally made to have the organizational committee work out the details of the amendment before next month's meeting … Then the full committee will vote on whether or not to send the amendment to the 2014 state convention …
As I wrote Friday, those who were in a rush to ram this amendment through without significant feedback from the grassroots exposed they had another agenda in mind. Particularly, encouraging the Paulistinians to go to the caucus … Sadly for them, according SCC member David Chung, who is the most well-versed SCC member in terms of rules and parliamentary procedure, is of the opinion the amendment could not go into effect until 2016, since the amendment would not be in force until after the call to convention, rules and agenda have been approved.
More sad news for the Paulbots: RPI Co-Chair David Fischer announced he will not run for the U.S. Senate …
And even more bad news: Another GOP county central committee has called for Fischer and Chairman A.J. Spiker to step down. The Black Hawk County GOP passed the resolution a couple of weeks ago, on a 21-4 vote, but is just now making it public …
The reasons the Black Hawk GOP cited include "moving the date of the Republican State Convention which would hurt our eventual United States Senate candidate, unilaterally moving our caucus date, failure to raise funds, attacking elected officials and efforts to create District Executive Committees, and failure to listen to grassroots Republicans."
That brings the total to six county GOPs asking the chairman to resign, including three of the state's four largest counties … The Dubuque County GOP is the only one that has publicly voiced its support of the Spiker regime.
My Favorite Paulistinian Quote of the Week, from the TIR comments section, as they continue their hate of Abraham Lincoln:
Next week, they'll blame the joos.
Republican nominee Stan Gustafson has a big head start in the House District 25 race. As of Friday, the absentee ballot requests in this district go like this:
Republicans: 137
Democrats: 3
No Party: 22
Democrats hold their convention to select a candidate on Monday. So far, no dem has publicly stepped forward … Personally, I'm hoping they nominate a candidate whose last name is Goldman. That way, we can renew the legendary Gustafson/Goldman rivalry of the 1990s.
Finally, while filling in for Simon Conway on WHO Radio on Friday, I had the chance to ask Congressman Steve King about the life and passing of Nelson Mandela. I think he gave a great answer and fitting tribute:
"He kept the gentleness of his nature and the forgiveness of his nature, and he led a nation through a very difficult time to get to the place where they are today. He's laid a foundation for the future of South Africa. A man that deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, and of course received it. That's a mark that for him that will last a long time. I've not met the man. I tracked him all the way through is career, before he went into prison and after, and I do think a lot of him and I know that we mourn his passing, but we also honor his life."
That's it for this week. Thanks for dropping by. Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again. – Nelson Mandela

Brooklyn-based designer Sarah Cihat scours garage sales and thrift shops, looking for ceramics that she can give a second life to. She takes the discarded dishware and reglazes it, turning old and frumpy cast-offs into fun, funky, artful dishes. Fond of the silhouette, most of her work features animals, people and things like anchors and skull-n-crossbones in colorful contrast the ceramics' new glaze; says the designer, "Each piece represents a rejection of more brand new products filling shelves and storage closets. Rehabilitated Dishware is a subtle statement of the importance of recycling and the renewed value of unwanted things." - from Treehugger
Have you ever felt bad for the numerous broken umbrellas during the storm? You do not have to anymore!
They all can be turned into a bag! Yes Yes.
taken from FIFTYRX3, a blog about style and sustainability by Jill Danyelle.
("fiftyRX3 was a project in style and sustainability. It consisted of a photo documentary of what Jill Danyelle wore everyday for a year with a goal of averaging fifty percent sustainability based on the environmental mantra 'reuse, reduce, recycle'. There was also exploration into the relationship we have with our clothing and how others perceive who we are through what we wear.)
Cog and Pearl in Park Slope, Brooklyn carries these wallets made from recycled old leather jackets. Each wallet is one of a kind but made from black leather only. In Cog and Pearl you can find plenty of handmade items including jewelry, personal and home accessories, apparel, fine art as well as books, cards and "the occasional uncategorizable but gotta-have-it thing"
Vancouver based designer Ashley Watson handcrafts her one-of-a-kind leather products using exclusively recycled material. She began designing handbags with recycled leather in early 2005, inspired by the original features of jackets purchased from charity thrift stores. She ultimately incorporates these features, such as pockets and seams, into each unique bag or wallet design.
With an extensive background in studio art, Ashley brings an innovative and environmentally sound approach to fashion design, creating products that are practical, sophisticated, and, above all, distinctive.
A native of British Columbia, Ashley holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. After studying fashion design in Vancouver, Ashley interned at Libertine in New York City. Upon her return to Vancouver, she worked as a jewelry designer before founding Ashley Watson Recycled Leather in 2006.

Adam Shand Kydd, who died in Cambodia on April 26 aged 49, was invariably identified in the Press as the stepbrother of Diana, Princess of Wales; yet while he was undoubtedly fond of her, the association formed no part of the way he saw himself.
His chief interests were books, and intelligent conversation. A gentle aesthete and a shambolic dilettante, he was extraordinarily widely read, but shrewd and critical as well as omnivorous. Most of all he enjoyed military history, long before its recent revival in academic fashion. His interest was a serious one; he once went with his father to Gallipoli to test for himself whether the Allied timetables would have been realistic even in the absence of vigorous Turkish defence - they were not.
He wrote several novels, or parts thereof, but only Happy Trails (1984) was published; it received some favourable reviews, but he was never particularly proud of it - he joked that his publishers had dropped the manuscript on the floor and put the chapters in the wrong order.
His output thereafter was hampered, he admitted, by "a good deal of staring out of the window"; he also fought intermittent battles against depression and drink.
Adam Shand Kydd was born on September 5 1954, the elder son of Peter and Janet Shand Kydd (the artist Janet Munro Kerr). His father was one of three sons of Norman Shand Kydd, whose flock-wallpaper fortune took the edge off Adam's material ambitions.
In the early 1960s, Peter Shand Kydd resigned from the family company and took his family off to live on a sheep station (now owned by Rupert Murdoch) at Yass, north of Melbourne. The rest of the family never acquired the father's enthusiasm for the outback, and after four years they returned to Britain.
Adam then went to Stowe, where he was mercilessly teased about the divorce (in 1968) of his parents. His father had run off with Frances, the wife of Johnnie Spencer, the future 8th Earl Spencer, stirring the tabloid Press into a frenzy.
Expelled from Stowe after being falsely accused of taking an axe to the chapel organ, Shand Kydd went to work as a stage manager at the Open Space Theatre in the Tottenham Court Road, then as a reader for Cassell's, where it never occurred to him to ask to be paid.
At that time he also had a lodger in his Notting Hill Gate flat; she would occasionally feel that she ought to offer some rent, but this made Shand Kydd uncomfortable and he would immediately spend the money taking her out to dinner.
He had other haphazard employments. Once he worked as a waiter in a Corsican restaurant - a matter of his motorcycle having broken down outside. There he learned the useful, if messy, trick of gauging the quality of red wine by tossing a glass on to a clean tablecloth. (Good wine refracts into a series of distinct concentric rings; bad wine just looks like a red ink spill.)
Shand Kydd was an exceptionally glamorous figure in youth - tall, extremely good-looking, funny and intelligent. To a great extent these qualities remained with him till his death.
A byword for indiscipline and recklessness in some ways, he liked to be physically fit: to the surprise of some who knew him less well, he was a stickler for swimming 50 lengths every day, also for lengthy periods of abstinence from alcohol. He was an energetic, and sometimes dashing, figure to the end of his life.
He never married, but his many romances were pursued with gusto, and sometimes a certain impatience in matters of detailed implementation. He once delivered a skipload of flowers to the girlfriend of a friend; they were intended to arrive half an hour after the latter's departure on a foreign trip, but unfortunately arrived half an hour before. ("You really shouldn't have," the friend phoned to say.)
He was a gifted anecdotalist, all his stories tending to end with the words, "It was an absolute nightmare".
Adam Shand Kydd never once complained that his slight connection with the Princess made him a target for journalists of the most deadbeat kind. He expected tabloids to be untruthful and would have thought it rather unsophisticated to be indignant about it.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(2008 Vintage) The desire to nurture the Estate's exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia's philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature. The clusters were hand-picked into 15-kg boxes and then selected by hand on a double sorting table, before and after destemming, and finally softly crushed. Each grape variety and single vineyard block was vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 26-30°C for two week, followed by 10-15 days of maceration on the skins. The malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barrels, 70% new and 30% once-used. The wine then remained in barriques, in Ornellaia's temperaturecontrolled cellars for about 18 months. After the first 12 months of maturation, the wine was assembled and then returned to the barriques for an additional 6 months. After bottling, the wine aged a further 12 months prior to release.
Wine Buyer(2006 Vintage) The main characteristic of Ornellaia 2006 is without a doubt its lush depth and a-exuberancea (aLaEsuberanzaa). Here is apowerful, concentrated wine whose intensity is immediately obvious. Its complex, rich bouquet is complemented bysweet, dense-packed tannins and a lively acidity, and all of its components are in admirable harmony creating a veryelegant wine.
Wine Spectator(2013 Vintage) Vanilla, toast and smoke notes shade the black cherry and plum aromas, while the spicy oak theme carries over on the palate. Shows fine balance. Best from 2018 through 2029.-B.S.
James Suckling(2013 Vintage) Amazing graphite and violet aromas with dark fruits. Medium to full body, ultra-velvety tannins and a long and beautiful finish. Formed and tight. I love the fresh ginger underneath it all. A cool profile that's so approachable with wonderful length. #84 Top 100 of 2016
Wine Enthusiast(2013 Vintage) A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot, this opens with aromas of red currant, fragrant purple flower and exotic spice. The currant aroma carries over to the austere palate along with cranberry, chopped herb and French oak. With its backbone of firm acidity and assertive close-grained tannins, it already boasts finesse but will need years to soften and develop. Drink 2021-2028.
Robert Parker(2011 Vintage) Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by Robert Parker on 10/21/2014

Commuter's Best Friend
I have used this bag for one year on my year round 5 mile (25 minute) commute in Madison, WI. It has lasted through all weather conditions from snow, sleet, and downpours. In very heavy rain, the rain will soak through the rain cover, but the interior of the bag is made of the same waterproof material, so clothes, cellphones, remain protected. It's stylish enough for hauling a laptop to office meetings.
Love it!
Fantastic bag! I don't like wearing backpacks while biking, this bag looks really great on and off the bike, it's very roomy and I love the laptop sleeve. This is my 'work' bag I use most often while commuting. I love the built-in rainfly and the bag is very well constructed, it appears to be built to last a good long time. Up front the cost is a bit high but after seeing the quality I can see it was worth the purchase.
Nice Bag, Almost Worked
This is a nice bag for commuting, but it just wasn't big enough for me. I typically carry a laptop, law books, and a number of items in my backpack. Perhaps it was the shape. I think for the average person commuting to work this would be great. I liked that it had a laptop sleeve rather than a strap, but I would still keep my laptop it its own padded sleeve as well.
Great Bag
I love this orange poppy bag. Cute, large and expandable, easy to use, and incredibly visible. Love the shoulder strap! Plus, I get lots of compliments!
Super Cute
Great bag, bright, fun. I do wish the bag would close more securely than with a magnet, but that's really the only complaint.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Congo Initiative, Germantown, WI, USA
I supported a friend to go on a mission trip through this organization and heard about the impact their group was able to make in the Congo for students and others in this country.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
financially supporting a friend who did mission work through this organization in the Congo.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
have to think about this question more.
Thank you for your support. The various international staff that have come to Beni--either for short-term or long-term--have played an enormous and important role. They have helped to build buildings, install computer and network systems. They have taught classes, helped UCBC students with their English, served in the community. They have established friendships and demonstrated true partnership and shared learning. Your contribution has been of great value. Thank you!

A truly uplifting film. Will make you laugh out-loud and cheer on the hopeless Hoover family throughout. A dysfunctional unit who manage to laugh at life's absurdities. Brilliant!
- 3.5
Our best guess for you: 3.7 stars
Average of 5738 ratings: 3.7 Stars
Where's Olive?
"Little Miss Sunshine" is an American family road comedy that shatters the mold. Brazenly satirical and yet deeply human, the film introduces audiences to one of the most endearingly fractured families in recent cinema history: the Hoovers, whose trip to a pre-pubescent beauty pageant results not only in comic mayhem but in death, transformation and a moving look at the surprising rewards of being losers in a winning-crazed culture. A runaway hit at the Sundance Film Festival, where it played to standing ovations, the film strikes a nerve with everyone who's ever been awestruck by how their muddled families seem to make it after all.

Dear Parents,
This is the fifth year that I have been timing students in the mile run. They will run 4 laps around the quarter-mile track at the YMCA on Macadam Ave on either May 4th, May 5th, or May 6th during their gym class. I am very excited about our progress this year. I feel the students have far outpaced their previous levels of readiness for this event. Last week was our final week of base training. Basically I have shown each child that they can cover MORE than a mile running. What I am extremely impressed with is the fact that these PE classes are NOT a track team. They are your average cross section of PE students and as such, I would expect the normal distribution curve of effort and performance when it comes to something as obscure as distance running. The results that I am seeing across the board are anything but a bell-shaped curve.
Each grade level had two PE classes last week, call them 'A' and 'B'. Listed is the required distance I had them complete:
Grade Class A Class B
1st 1 1/6 miles 1 1/2 miles
2nd 1 1/2 mile 2 miles
3rd 2 miles 2 miles
4th 2 1/6 miles 3 miles
5th 2 1/6 miles 3 miles
A significant number of students ran FURTHER than these requirements, the most extreme was a first grade boy who ran 4 miles in 44 minutes! In summing up the total number of laps completed, I counted 568 miles run in the last week alone, this is based on a loose measurement I made of just under 6 laps around our circuit being a mile. Also in the week, I handed each student who ran the mile last year a little piece of paper with their last year's mile time on it. Even though they were running further than the mile, many more than half of them came through the mile mark (6th lap) at or below their times from last year.
There is no mystique about running a mile to these kids. Please take the time to ask them about how it feels to run so far already knowing they can run further than the mile.
Finally I wanted to share what was an off-hand comment by one student that was music to my ears. When the upper 4th and 5th graders see me around school they always ask me how far we will be running in the next class, after last class of 18 laps, they could only wonder with a bit of trepidation what next week would bring. So when I was asked what they would be running next week (meaning this week as of this printing) I said...6 laps. The student sighed a big sigh of relief and was truly happy to say, "YES, only a mile, that will be easy!"

BONANZA, TEXAS (Hopkins County). Bonanza is off State Highway 19 thirteen miles south of Sulphur Springs in southwestern Hopkins County. The site was settled in the late 1860s or early 1870s. The community was originally known as Fowler's Store when M. W. Fowler secured a post office there in 1879. The post office was renamed Cold Hill in 1883 and Bonanza in 1898. By 1885 the town had a gristmill and cotton gin, Baptist and Presbyterian churches, a hotel, a blacksmith, two grocers, and a population of 100. A local public school opened around 1900, and during the 1905–06 school year it had an enrollment of sixty. In 1906 the post office was closed. The census of 1940 gave the population as forty. In 1948 the community had a store, a church, and a two-teacher school. The school was later closed, and in the late 1980s the site of the town was marked only by a number of scattered dwellings. In 2000 the community reported twenty-six inhabitants.

RIVERSIDE - Security experts examining California's voting systems will take up Riverside County's system as soon as Monday, possibly giving the county several additional weeks to respond to any concerns they raise in preparation for the February presidential primary.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen said Thursday that computerexperts hired by her office will take up Sequoia Voting Systems'equipment and software next week, along with those of two othervendors. Sequoia makes the Edge II terminals that Riverside Countyvoters encounter at polls and the software that the county uses tomanage elections and tabulate ballots.
Bowen said in March that she would conduct a "top-to-bottom" review of the voting systems used in California's 58 counties, focusing on their security, reliability and compliance with federal and state election laws. The review is designed partly to allay concerns raised by activists who complain that voting software is open to manipulation by politically motivated computer experts, and that manufacturers haven't opened the software to public scrutiny that could help uncover such flaws.
Examinations of voting systems made by three other manufacturers are expected to begin in June and conclude by Aug. 3, giving counties at the end of the review process the legal minimum of six months before the Feb. 5 presidential primary to correct perceived problems with their systems' security or replace them with systems that Bowen approves.
Many counties across the United States have moved to touchscreens and other electronic voting systems in recent years after traditional punch-card ballots helped cause a weeks-long fiasco in the 2000 presidential election in Florida. But as electronic systems have become more common, so have suggestions that the machines can be rigged or the counting process hacked.
Bowen's office scheduled the vendors in a random drawing Thursday afternoon. A spokeswoman said Bowen's office hadn't decided whether to publish decisions as it finishes with each system or announce its findings together in late July or early August.
Riverside County Registrar of Voters Barbara Dunmore said she hopes to begin preparing in July for the February election.
"We are ready to comply with any additional security provisions requested … as a result of this re-review of our voting system," Dunmore said Thursday.
In the worst-case scenario that Bowen decertifies Sequoia's touch-screen voting terminals or its election-management software, Riverside County would have to fall back on equipment it bought in the 1980s, Dunmore said. The county now uses the system of paper ballots and optical scanners to record and process absentee ballots. It has not had to meet the same federal or state requirements as newer systems.
Riverside County Supervisors Jeff Stone and John Tavaglione havesuggested that they consider Bowen's review to be "politicallymotivated" and biased against the touch-screen computer systemsthat Riverside and 21 other counties use. Dunmore, Sequoiarepresentatives and supervisors have often said that the Edge IIterminals have been tested and certified by federal and Californiaauthorities.
Election-security activists have countered that the testing labs are beholden to the manufacturers, who pay for the tests. A leading Southwest County activist said he has a lot more faith in a group of experts that Bowen is putting together. Her office said Wednesday that it plans to hire 20 to 30 outside experts in election law and computer security to test the machines.
Nine whose names were released Wednesday include five university professors and Harri Hursti, a Finnish security entrepreneur who became something of a hero among voting activists after he discovered vulnerabilities in a touch-screen system made by a Sequoia competitor.
Hursti is one of three computer scientists hired so far to lead "red teams" who try to manipulate the machines' software to change the way it counts votes.
"They've picked a team that's unimpeachable," said Murrieta resident Tom Courbat, a coordinator of elections watchdog Save R Vote. "It's exactly what I hoped it would be."
Sequoia spokeswoman Michelle Shafer praised the group's expertise, but said outspoken e-voting critics seemed to be over-represented and industry experts under-represented.
"It would be nice to see a broader group of people," Shafer said. "We would like to see people on that list who have actual real-world experience … perhaps practitioners who have worked with the equipment in the field."
A Bowen spokeswoman said her office is still negotiating with experts and hopes the group will include several experts who have worked for manufacturers.
The state is engaging the University of California to conduct the review. Sequoia and other vendors are expected to cover roughly half its total cost, which the secretary of state's office estimated at $1.8 million.
Bowen's chief of staff, Evan Goldberg, acknowledged that the review could put sudden demands on local elections officials whose voting systems don't pass the review by Aug. 3. But the review could point out security holes that are relatively easy to fix, he said. It would be wrong to assume that any county will have to get rid of its voting system and buy a new one.
"We're not in an either-or situation, and we won't get to that point for some time," he said.

Bacolod Travel Blog› entry 2 of 21 › view all entries
The nexy day we get up and go to the mall (malls are so popular in the PI it's what everyone does for the free a/c, malls are open and crowded even on Christmas day. The mall was packed!!!! Wow!!! Tahne had to mail something for work so that is why we went there. She takes me to the new SM Bacolod, looks huge on the outside but inside it's not that big. We actually walk around the entire mall in about an hour. Yes, an SM is practically in every city in the PI. I think I have been to over a dozen SM malls in my time! The ones in the Manila area are def. the best. We also go to Robinsons Mall, and guess what? Eat! Tahne takes me to all the food stalls she wants me to eat at and the majority of them are like a heart attack waiting to happen, chorizo/sausage/longaniza type of meats in a buttery waffle with sugary syrup, oily fries with mayo/cheese type dips, different kinda of ensaymada, mamon, etc.
