SOURCE Affairs of the Vine
Hosted by Affairs of the Vine, this ultimate fantasy camp for adventurous wine lovers is now in its 23rd season
SEBASTOPOL, Calif., Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wine Boot Camp®, the most talked about wine experience ever, is the extreme insider experience for adventurous Wine Lovers, challenging recruits to dive into wine by rolling up their sleeves and plunging into winegrowing and winemaking during a one-day reconnaissance mission. The all day event is designed for people who are passionate about wine and passionate about life.
On September 28, 2013, Wine Boot Camp® gets serious as WBC officers and recruits explore and experience the challenges of the Extreme Sonoma Coast. Wine lovers will work hands-on in the Bella Luna Vineyard, the estate vineyard of Churchill Cellars, under the guidance of owners Ken and Susan Churchill. The mission will continue with a fabulous cellar experience with the Halleck Vineyard team under the tutelage of owners, Ross and Jennifer Halleck and winemaker, Rick Davis. We will then convoy to the one-acre family site of Halleck Vineyard. Recruits will have the opportunity to blend a bottle of wine from wonderful wines in barrel. Wine workshops and tastings of outstanding wines are an integral part of the program.
The 2013 Sonoma Coast Harvest Wine Boot Camp® allows recruits to experience the excitement of the vineyard and the hard but rewarding work that it takes to produce wine. They'll be able to reach down and touch the soil and taste the sweetness of the grapes. Recruits will enjoy an aromatic workshop, wine tasting, a cellar experience culminating in blending and bottling one's own wine, breakfast, lunch in the vineyard, and a sumptuous gourmet dinner. All of this packed into an intensive 12-hour day.
"This will be the best Wine Boot Camp in 20 years!" Major Barbara Drady, Wine Boot Camp Director, states emphatically. "Wine Boot Camp has always provided an insider's view to winemaking but this year, our Sonoma Coast Wine Boot Camp missions will be at two amazingly beautiful and unique small properties that are not open to the public and, until now, have never been experienced as our recruits will."
Churchill Cellars will host the morning vineyard mission and lunch. Halleck Vineyard will host the cellar mission, dinner, and the graduation ceremony for our recruits.
"I'm very excited to be sharing these amazing properties with our Sonoma Coast Wine Boot Camp recruits," declares Drady.
Wine Boot Camp groups are small so that all of the recruits can experience the vineyard and winery in an intimate way.
The cost of the one-day WINE BOOT CAMP® adventure includes all workshops, educational materials, lunch in the vineyard, a gourmet dinner paired with wines, extensive wine tasting, a bottle of wine created by the recruit, transportation to all events, a WINE BOOT CAMP® cap, and an "I Survived WINE BOOT CAMP®" T-shirt. Enlistment is $750 per person plus tax. To register, contact Major Drady at 707-874 -1975 or email@example.com.

La Verdad
Online Reservations
I love La Verdad! The margaritas are delicious, the food was great, the service was friendly, and when we went they had a season guacamole with mango and other goodies, I wasn't sure about it after reading the description, but once I tasted it I was sold. I've been to La Verdad many times, most recently with 7 others for a birthday dinner. We arrived early for our reservation and I really appreciated that we could comfortably wait at the bar for our table to open. It was a busy night, but we didn't feel crowded at all, and service was still fast.
Excellent meal and great service. Enjoyed the Texmex flair!
The host and hostesses were very gracious and professional. Food was great.Hopping during Red Sox games, but also great for dinner with friends on other(quieter) ocassions.
They could do a better job with the entrance. We walked in through the take out and my first impression was ,where are we? The food was good. not vegetarian heaven, my choices were pretty limited and they wouldn't let me order the enchilada without meat. still. I enjoyed the homemade guacamole and chile relleno we all enjoyed the habanero margaritas. the service was fine but not fine dining good. It did become quite crowded on a Sunday night and was very festive.
It's been great. 3 rd time going before a show at house of blues and again was amazed at how not crowded it was. Lucky for us. The food is awesome. We sat outside-the view is fenway park but the people watching is great.
Great food, great service, friendly atmosphere, such a fantastic find! thank you.
Le Verdad was a great spot to hit before a show at the Boston House of Blues. Service was quick, but as the place filled up within an hour of opening, service fell a little short. Defintely get the pitcher of house margarita. Their sour mix is actually really great! We had the pescado and pork belly confit tacos, holy amazing! Super fresh ingredients and the price you couldn't beat. The trio salsa was a great way to start. The salsa verde is the best I have ever had.
Wanted to try this place because it is a Ken Oringer restaurant. Food was pretty good (a little greasy for my taste), but the flavor was great! Margs were NOT good, but beer selection was great so stick with the beer. Pretty noisy place, but a good place for groups - were able to accommodate 6 ppl at 7 pm on a Saturday night. Would recommend for anyone looking for a casual dining experience with very reasonable prices.
We came here to eat before a concert at House of Blues. It was good but seemed pricey for what you got. There were no typical Mexican restaurant extras; no chips and salsa, no rice and beans with the orders. We both got the Tinga tacos which were delicious but again a bit expensive for 3 small tacos and no sides. The margaritas are very good but also expensive. I get they are paying for their location, but seems a bit much to me. The service was also not great, we had empty drinks for quite awhile at one point and ended up deciding to go to the concert instead of ordering another round.

A simple "Hello" can possibly save a life
By GARY ANDREWS
I read recently that a man went to church on the morning he was going to commit suicide. He felt he owed God one more chance of telling him why life is worth living. This man made the choice of going to church and one of the members greeted him with a friendly hello and extended hand in fellowship.
Having a need to talk with someone this man talked about what he was going to do and the other person showed a great concern for what he had just been told. He introduced the troubled person to one of the pastors of the church which led to a long counseling session which turned into a lifesaving adventure.
Many churches today have times of fellowship, meet and greet others before their worship services begin. I have been to many churches where this is happening and it is one of the best parts of the service that gets people smiling, hugging, and in a receptive mood for God's word from the pastor. Visitors feel welcome and more in tune to the church family they are visiting. Who knows, someone's life may be changed from a friendly "Hello".
Paul stated in many of his letters that believers should greet each other with a holy kiss. In this day and time a kiss probably wouldn't go over well but a friendly hand shake and greeting will. Some of the best friends I have today started with a handshake and a friendly smile.
Moving every few years my wife and I would visit several churches to decide which one God would want us to serve in. God has always blessed us immensely and led us to a church that we could serve in. Many of our decisions have been based on the response of the congregation to our visit and the friendliness of the congregation toward each other. There have many times we have visited churches that were cold, no one spoke, no one seemed to care, and people went to church because they felt it was their duty to do so. Believe me, there is a big difference in these churches and the reception one receives is going to lead whether someone joins the fellowship or not. Everyone wants to be respected and received with warmth from the people.
We have found that you can only serve God in a church where He is head of that church instead of one that has put God on the curb and trying to survive on worldly values and standards.
There are going to be some that say it doesn't matter to them whether a church is friendly or not just as long as God is head of the church and His word is being taught. This is true, however I feel that warm receptive feelings in a church are a tremendous plus to the churches that are serving God and teaching His word.
Friendliness in church depends on you and not the church leaders. It is your attitude toward others that could make a life changing experience in someone else life.
Prayer: Lord let me live my life in a way that is pleasing to you and not to the world. Allow me to be friendly and understanding to everyone I meet. Amen.

Last topic a private space exploration company has come up with a rough price tag for a ticket.
To Mars SpaceX founder Elon Musk who -- -- smells to written it.
Says the triple costs about 500 grand per person which is almost half a million dollars.
He envisions on Mars colony of 80000 people but only after his company designs -- rapid and reusable rocket that can land vertically.
You know latest live how they zooming by just.
Didn't come sliding back down that's never gonna happen.
John what do you think of this guy -- you know we I mean.
He had Gennifer Flowers got together and said -- in the newspapers but let's come up with something that is absurd.
When when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon United Airlines took reservations for the first trip to the moon.
I call I got a reservation.
Years later I call them back -- news about them listen you kidding so that's that's died.
This is -- you see this is an idea kind of -- you really wanted to get to the -- we've -- I don't want -- government Mars that's a two year trip I got better things of that with a couple years you know I'm still angry when I went into the doctors to get my stitches -- -- -- some five stitches on my lip and it put me in a straight jacket and they told me I was going to the moon.
A little boy in the 1970s I'm still angry.
Yeah I actually -- where -- an elevator.
I don't know it's not it was scarier than that.
-- -- a guy that you think this is a good deal I mean is gonna happen in the future you know maybe in in terms of inflation 500 -- is not going to be that much to go to our.
Anybody I mean what's gonna be enticing on the moon I need to know what's there in order to decide that we need a -- -- I mean I'm so all of these guys.
Looking at all costs more interesting less than than those in the mood sort of romantic and Philly cheese yeah -- -- reading about that romance novels for a long time -- the of the writing my poetry about an open -- but my parents.
What's there is they're like what's.
Allure when I don't know what the -- of Mars is it's it's it's not good out there red stuff.
I would rather read it any entire body in full agenda has put him at the moon who is.
Snacks counts -- little I -- to go to that's not nice I don't know the other.
You learn things about does he wants 80000 people of their living in these -- things where they're gonna grow earth crops.
There's frozen water on Mars but it's really frozen so somehow all of that they got a melt a lot of water.
To grow corn and wheat -- locking things down pat and I I think somebody is kind of -- in Arlington there's definitely think there's seven billion people on the planet now.
There's 80000 people who want to go to Mars right there's there's 80000 people who have -- going to have half a million others are guys -- going up in orbit they're paying more than I've paid in the millions to go up in orbit for a while this is great I mean it's it's private industries actually solving something that NASA has completely that's what I was gone for everything magazine -- -- -- it's.
Privatize the entire -- as privatizing just allow people to do what they want to do it I want this guy's dream and hope as John Gibson -- close -- out of the post here.

At the recent Interaction Eleven conference in Boulder CO, Cheryl Platz gave an excellent presentation on ways to encourage young girls to study science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in school. Cheryl's talk highlighted the importance of this, as the number of young women so choosing has dropped dramatically since the early 1980s, and the field needs all of the bright contributors it can recruit, regardless of gender.
I agree wholeheartedly with Cheryl's remarks, and I support her recommendations without reservation. There is indeed some sort of barrier that discourages young women from getting into the technical professions, and it is well worth tearing it down.
But something about the presentation bothered me. After listening awhile, I realized that I was feeling the "framing effect", a well-known cognitive bias, wherein the way a question is worded affects the way people answer it. Cheryl's insistence that girls could enjoy studying math and science sounds right to me, but the way her argument was framed seemed to blame the girls for the shortfall.
While I earnestly support the idea that more girls should study math and science, I believe that the problem instead belongs to employers, educators, and the institutions they lead. I believe that the STEM disciplines would have more success with young women if they developed a stronger feminine side.
Rather than simply "boys" versus "girls", I prefer to think of personal inclinations in terms of one's "feminine side" and "masculine side". I believe that all men and all women possess both sides in varying degrees. I am proud of my strong feminine side, and I know many women whose strong masculine side makes them tough as nails.
What's more, there are many men and boys who are more comfortable in the soft studies and who eschew the harder sciences. There are many young men who struggle with math, but who could make excellent contributions to the fields of software development, technical literature, interaction design, visual design, cognitive and behavioral studies, and other closely related fields (for example, that would describe me).
I believe that girls reject math and science not because they are too girly, but because the purveyors of STEM education are too manly, or more accurately, too pointless and boring from the feminine point of view.
There are very real differences between the sexes, and these appear at a young age in all children. There is a large and growing body of literature in the fields of evolutionary and cognitive psychology that prove and illustrate these different ways the sexes behave in similar situations.
Women are quite capable of high achievement in STEM subjects, but they are disinterested because their motivations are different. Platz asserted that while men are content to learn math or science for the subject's own sake, women see those disciplines merely as a means for achieving broader human goals. Those goals are what motivate the feminine approach, and when the subjects are taught in isolation, they often lose interest.
What's more, I don't believe that the hard sciences discourage only girls; I believe that they also discourage those with a well-developed feminine personality.
This is admittedly a semantic quibble, but the framing effect is a very real thing, and the language we use powerfully influences our decisions. And when the feminine side is strongly influenced to stay away from science and technology, our entire society suffers. A solely masculine discipline is a weak and one-sided discipline.
One could make a strong argument that the feelings of frustration and failure people get from using technology were caused by our purely masculine approach to software design. Almost all of our digital artifacts are designed and built by men (and a few women with strong masculine sides) inside organizations led by the same, who learned their discipline from masculine teachers within masculine institutions using curricula and methods that embody strong masculine principles.
Bringing stronger feminine values and more feminine ways of thinking to science and technology will bring a larger, more human scale view to our disciplines. The feminine side approaches problems and group dynamics in a way that is very different from the masculine way. When some minor catastrophe occurs at work or play, I have seen groups of men standing around demanding "Who did this?" and "Who's going to fix this?" When that same catastrophe occurs amid a group of women, they ask "Did I cause this?" and "What can I do to fix this?" This positive, supportive attitude of women transforms the whole sense of teamwork and accomplishment.
It's certainly possible to go too far, as groups of only women can be as biased and problematic as groups of only men. By far, the strongest and most effective teams are the ones composed of both men and women, with strong masculine and feminine sides. The whole nature of the group changes for the better with mixed gender teams. When there are at least two members of each sex in a group, the dynamics improve dramatically. A recent study gives some empirical credence to my personal observations.
Unfortunately, almost the entire spectrum of education in computer and software subjects is taught in glacial isolation from any practical application that improves people's lives. The masculine side says "Computers are great because they can do anything!" while the feminine side says "I'd be very interested in computers if you could just tell me one useful thing they can do!"
I believe that the greatest burden of responsibility for bringing women into STEM education lies with the academic establishment. Young girls know who they are and what they want just as clearly as young boys do. As Cheryl noted in her talk, women are capable and willing of engaging with technology if it gives them command of something relevant in their lives. When educators connect their disciplines to the larger world, girls will be the first to see it, value it, and join up.
Many practitioners today seek redemption in a deeper understanding of the technical tools we use to build software. But that is such a masculine interpretation of the problem. Rather, I believe that a more worthwhile wellspring lies in understanding how human beings think and behave and what motivates their actions. That is, if the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math were to develop a stronger feminine side we'd not only see a lot more girls entering our fields, but our fields would be much better for it.

The latest St. John's graduate to receive a Fulbright Scholarship will spend the next academic year in Macau, where she will study the region's blend of Chinese and Portuguese cultures while teaching English.
Athena Loch '11C, an English major and Art History minor, was a senior when she applied for the prestigious award in October 2010. She is one of two new graduates to earn a Fulbright Scholarship. Recipient Woodley Pean '11C will use his award to teach, volunteer and conduct research in the Dominican Republic. Last year, three graduate students received Fulbrights.
When Athena received word about her award this past May, she was surprised as well as delighted. "I worried that it was taking too long to hear from them," she recalled. "But the GAAP Office assured me that some applicants don't get a response until a bit later." The Graduate Admissions Assistance Program (GAAP) helps undergraduate and graduate students to apply for prestigious academic awards and scholarships.
The 21-year-old Staten Island, NY, native chose to spend her Fulbright year in Macau because the blend of Portuguese and Chinese cultures fascinates her. The region is also close to Hong Kong, where her parents were born. "When I saw that it was one of the Fulbright destinations," she said, "I thought it would be the most interesting location for me."
A graduate of Susan E. Wagner High School on Staten Island, Athena said she chose St. John's for two reasons. "I knew St. John's offers a lot of opportunities to its students," she said. "And I liked the fact that I could go to school in New York City, live in beautiful residence halls and still be close to home."
As an English major, Athena enjoyed studying with outstanding scholars such as Dohra Ahmad, Ph.D., Associate Professor; Kathleen Lubey, Ph.D., and Amy King, Ph.D., Associate Professor, who was Athena's mentor in the University's Learning Communities Program, which fosters strong connections between faculty advisors and freshmen. In Art History, Athena counts Professor Laurence Waldron, M.F.A., among her most inspiring instructors.
Athena distinguished herself early in her St. John's career. She was accepted into Phi Eta Sigma, the national honor society for outstanding freshmen. She went on to serve as a copy editor on The Torch, the weekly student newspaper, and an assistant editor of Sequoia, the literary magazine. "Whatever you want to do," she said, "there's a place for you to do something wonderful at St. John's."

wizard, there's a tool called Crop, it's where you select a section of your picture to keep and the rest goes away. That would help you get rid of the useless white sections of what would have otherwise been a good picture. If you need help using/finding it, I can walk you through it if you want me to.
New haircut, new crappy webcam pic.

Nah, the mailbox is in the American Post office on base. Although, I'm sure there are plenty of fans out this way, too.
I've never seen one either. Go figure you find one halfway around the world though lol.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with pics of ourselves, but since we were talking about the mailboxes, figured I post this.

I had never heard of these. Just happened to find it while looking for something else. Kind of neat. Surprised the Post Office never sold these.
You'd think 2007, the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, would've been an opportune time for the Post Office to sell something like that.
Neat mailbox!! And your t-shirt is really cool Sadriel!
The background of your t-shirt design lacks a bit black in my taste, but that's just me. Still really cool!
Lovely pics, Cecilia and EdieKaye.
I don't have any new pic of me to post, just those of last summer. My eyebrows are terrible now and need to get done, desperately. When that's fixed I guess I can post something, lol.

and she just brought me these as a thank-you.
Was his name tripod?
I didn't think she would be back until tomorrow so I was jammin out.
Did it try and bury a turd on a frozen pond?
He was just posing for the camera. He's a tough little cat....three legs and he will butcher any other cat that encroaches on his block.
Should've brought you a whore missing a limb IMO.
Cute cat......shit "gift".
I always take care of her cat anyway. He got hit by a car when he was a kitten so whenever I see him out, I will take him in and feed him so he doesn't try to cross the street and get hit by another car. people are stupid
I have two barn cats and the barn is about 450' from the road so they basically hang out by our pond and at the back of our property whee we have some trees. They also visit the neighbors where they get treats and hunt mice. We get calls a few times a month asking if they are ok if the neighbors don't see them around. They are quite charming. Thankfully they don't seem interested in going anywhere near the road.

Are the Feds Reaping Windfall Profits From Student Loans?
The Federal Government made $41.3 billion on its subsidized student-loan program in fiscal 2013. Or did it? It has been argued that if more realistic accounting methods were applied to the student loan situation, the government would post significant losses over the long term instead of the claimed profits.

Graduate School Research Poster Conference

Institution: University of Birmingham
The annual Research Poster Conference provides a unique opportunity for doctoral researchers at all stages of their studies to present their research to a diverse mixed-disciplined audience. The Conference is an excellent practical forum for the development of a range of essential communication and networking skills. It is also a chance for University students and staff to foster productive interdisciplinary links and find out more about the range of exciting research that takes place at the University of Birmingham. The usual resources are required to deliver the event: a venue; catering & catering staff; additional helpers to assist on the day; and a means of producing and displaying the posters. We also provided 3 doctoral researchers with the opportunity to become part of the project team that organised the Research Poster Conference.

"This is from a friend of mine. It is so good!" — Michael Allbright
Watch video tips and tricks
4 cups watermelon flesh, seeds removed
2 fluid ounces simple syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup vodka
2 fluid ounces melon liqueur
4 twists lemon zest, garnish
id cut up a watermelon (with small white seeds) and stored it in the freezer in 4 c servings, so this recipe was perfect for me. save that watermelon in the freezer for this recipe and have a declicious summery drink any night. :)
This was OK. I used Bacardi melon instead of liquer, and adjusted the recipe to 5 oz vodka and 5 oz Melon Bacardi. I used more watermelon than 4 cups...closer to 8 cups per blender-full.
40 Ratings
Absolutely incredible! It is a little strong, so you may want to decrease the amount of vodka, as said in another review. But, like them, I managed. ;) FYI simply syrup is 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, bring to boil in medium saucepan, stir, let cool (see recipe on this site). I can't say enough about this drink - it is awesome! Thank You!!!
Yum! How refreshing on those hot summer days. I would suggest starting off with 1/2 of the vodka and then adding more to taste. It was a little strong for us -- but we managed!
Really easy to make and so good! I made with Triple Sec instead of melon liquor and served with fresh mint.
I thought i died and went, well anyway it was GREAT!!!
Okay, I found the simple syrup recipe. Never needed it before. Never heard of it before.
This is good but strong! I just put all the ingredients in a blender and then put the bowl in the freezer.

Benefits of using Winter Park Realty & Property Management
Turnkey Property Management
Established in 1999, Winter Park Realty & Property Management has the experience, the staff and the systems in place to care for your property the way you would, if that were your only job.
We manage several hundred properties in the Central Florida area, from single family homes to large apartment buildings. We specialize in Winter Park real estate market. And we know what it takes to get and keep a home here rented.
Now you can hand over all the stressful and time-consuming responsibilities that come with being a landlord. We'll handle everything. Most important, you can be confident that your property is in good hands.
Inquire About Our Services
Marketing Makes the Difference
Rental property doesn't lease itself. Every day that your home sits vacant costs you money. It doesn't take but a month or two before you're in a cash-negative position.
Winter Park Realty & Property Management can find you renters. We will actively market your property. It's not enough to simply place a classified ad in the newspaper and wait for tenants to call. That's much too passive if you want to maximize occupancy.
Instead, we use traditional marketing tools like MLS and signs combined with aggressive e-marketing. We'll place detailed information about your property on more than 75 different websites. That's a massive amount of exposure guaranteed to generate a constant flow of potential renters.
And, unlike most Winter Park property management companies, we answer our phones and show properties seven days a week. That's what it takes to find tenants, so that's what we do. We WILL get your home rented.
Get the Highest Rent You Can
Setting the right price is key. We know the neighborhoods of Winter Park and what the market will bear. We are constantly monitoring rental data. Working with you, we'll develop a game plan to attain the highest possible rent for your home.
Our team members at Winter Park Realty & Property Management are skilled negotiators. We don't just show your property; we build its perceived value in our conversations with potential tenants. That's how we close deals and maximize your revenue.
You Want Good Tenants and So Do We
Every landlord has his share of horror stories about tenants who didn't pay up or didn't care for the property. At Winter Park Realty & Property Management, we believe that the best way to avoid problems down the road is to start with quality tenants.
We don't simply rent to the first people who call. Instead, we spend time with interested prospects, showing them the property, asking questions and getting to know them.
We then have a thorough application process. Our credit and background checks are more extensive than most other property management companies. It may sound tedious, but it works. In fact, in the past four years, we've only had to evict one tenant. That's an impressive track record for a company that manages hundreds of properties.
Protect the Value of Your Home
If a renter doesn't maintain your property, you could see its value plunge. That means costly repairs or a lower asking price when you eventually sell. Neither one is a great option.
Winter Park Realty & Property Management helps ensure that your home is properly cared for. We deliver the property clean. We let the tenants know that we are hands-on property managers. They can easily contact us if a maintenance situation arises. We are approachable and we take action. Little grievances don't have a chance to become big problems.
Within the first 90 days of a tenant moving into your home, we do an inside inspection. We also do routine drive bys, just to make sure all looks to be in order. If we show we care, then your tenant will care too.
We offer a price match guarantee! Call Us Now and Your Home Could Be Rented in Days.
Just imagine the peace of mind you'll have when the renting of your home is handled by professionals. It's an easy solution that works. Contact Winter Park Realty & Property Management today to discuss how we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
A lot of owners ask us whether or not to allow pets. We would recommend that you allow pets in most properties. Think of it this way, more than 50% of people have a pet. You would effectively double the amount of time it will take to locate a tenant. If it took one additional month to locate a tenant, would that be more or less money that the damage a tenant would create, in most cases the vacancy loss would be higher than the pet damage.
What we collect is a refundable deposit in addition to the normal deposit. As far as we know, we are the only local company that offers the tenant an opportunity to get their money back. By offering a refundable deposit, this will encourage the tenants to take better care of your property as opposed to a non-refundable deposit which makes the property manager money, but gives the tenant no incentive to take care of your property.
Winter Park Area Information
The site was first inhabited by Europeans in 1858, when David Mizell Jr. bought an 8-acre homestead between Lakes Virginia, Mizell, and Berry. A settlement, called Lake View by the inhabitants, grew up around Mizell's plot. It got a post office and a new name—Osceola—in 1870.
The area did not develop rapidly until 1880, when a South Florida Railroad track connecting Orlando and Sanford was laid a few miles west of Osceola. Shortly afterwards, Loring Chase came to Orange County from Chicago to recuperate from a lung disease. In his travels, he discovered the pretty group of lakes just east of the railbed. He enlisted a wealthy New Englander, Oliver E. Chapman, and they assembled a very large tract of land, upon which they planned the town of Winter Park. Over the next four years they plotted the town, opened streets, built a town hall and a store, planted orange trees, and required all buildings to meet stylistic and architectural standards. They promoted it heavily. During this time, the railroad constructed a depot (1882), connected to Osceola by a dirt road.

Rockband is pining for the fjords.
"You are cool, bigmf." - TheStuddz
I would love to see new plastic instruments made with a 6th fret button. There are tons of people who have pretty much mastered the 5 button gameplay and adding a new button could spring some life into a new game.
Lets get to 5000 songs!
Ugh. no. If you want more buttons, go pro.
<Insert request for more Boston here>
PSN: Bront20
DLC: lots+RB1+LRB+RB2+ACDC+GDRB (+ RB3)
I respectfully disagree. DLC is still the bread and butter of the Rock Band franchise (and, arguably, Harmonix in general at the moment); they started out with 3 a week, we're continuing with 3 a week. By putting out products like Blitz, they're trying to maximize our investment in DLC (so we buy more, so they make more) while minimizing their investment in physical instruments. The more games they can build around the currently unprecedented DLC library (and the more people play those games--maybe not any specific one, but all of them as a family), the more reason they'll continue to support the DLC.
DLC on DLCQuickPlay.com. Gamertag is the same as my Forum name. Hit me up if you wanna play!
I'd still like to think that with a Rocksmith-type adapter, RB4 could use real guitars to play the classic charts to help build up finger strength. Later people could try something like the current pro mode when/if they felt up to it. Then you wouldn't need plastic guitars, just a cheap special mic/line adapter. The only downside is that people would need to actually tune their guitars and people would probably need to do separate strings for chords. (Maybe for chords, some kind of translation of the track can be done as with Blitz to make it work out better so people are sort of practicing real basic chords.) Would that be so bad? Also considering how fast plastic guitars wear out, many people could have purchased real cheap electric guitars by now. (Even bass guitars could work that way.)
For the rest, midi works great.

Among the big songs coming to RBN from Ozone!!
I sense something cool coming soon. Look for an announcement before the end.
there are too many problems trying to make RS tech work with the current pro charts. for starters, every song that has bends would suddenly be mischarted. also, the pro charts only tell you the fret/string combination to play, not the actual note. unless they've been secretly including more information in the charts, there's no way to know what specific musical note each fret/string combination corresponds too, given all the alt-tunings and drop tunings used in different songs.
bottom line is, if they wanted to shift to using some kind of Rocksmith-style note detection technology, they'd need all new charts. current pro charts would become obsolete.

John Adams
b. 1947Snapshot
John Adams has harnessed the rhythmic energy of Minimalism to the harmonies and orchestral colours of late-Romanticism * Brought contemporary history to the opera house with his post-modern operatic works Nixon in China (1987), The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), and Doctor Atomic (2005) * Has addressed urgent social issues with passion and empathy, both in his operas and in such works as I Was Looking at the Ceiling and then I Saw the Sky, El Dorado and The Wound-Dresser * His works are much favored by choreographers, with multiple ballet versions of Fearful Symmetries * Winner of the 1995 Grawemeyer Award for Violin Concerto * Series of recordings on the Nonesuch label * A recent survey shows him to be the most frequently performed living American composer of orchestral music.
Works by John Adams include:
Short Ride in a Fast Machine (1986) for orchestra
Violin Concerto (1993)
Son of Chamber Symphony (2007) for chamber ensemble
El Niño (1999–2000) for soprano, mezzo-soprano, baritone, three counter-tenors, chorus, optional children's chorus and orchestra.
The Gospel According to the Other Mary (2011) for orchestra, chorus and soloists
John Adams is represented as a conductor in North America by Ed Yim in association with IMG Artists and in Europe by Jane Brown of Harrison Parrott.
Also visit the John Adams website at www.earbox.com.
Looking ahead:Short Ride in a Fast Machine makes its mark on the summer when the London Philharmonic Orchestra plays in Liverpool on June 22 and in Manchester June 26. Bramwell Tovey leads the New York Philharmonic in Short Ride at Avery Fisher Hall on July 5 before taking it on the road to the Colorado's Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival on July 26 * Adams will head to Australia to conduct the Sydney Symphony's performances of his Violin Concerto, as well as the world premiere of his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister at the Sydney Opera house, August 22 and 23.

Rush Limbaugh: iPad great tool in fighting global warming 'hoax'
If you're 13 years old, live in Wilmington, Ind., and it's cold outside, it surely makes you wonder about this global warming thing.
How can there be global warming when your personal globe is freezing?
How can you find out whether all this scientific mumbo-jumbo is just a giant gumbo of mumbling nonsense?
