What you see is not necessarily what you get
Posted: June 6, 2013 By Harvey Steiman
Ingredient labeling for wine seems to make perfect sense, but the devil is in the details. Despite several concerted attempts, some dating back 40 years, it hasn't happened yet, in part because making wine is not like bottling soda pop or mixing cereal. In those, ingredients are the same as contents. Not so with wine.
Wine is a product of fermentation, and not everything that goes into it comes out in the end. And alcohol, one of wine's prime constituents, is not added to table wines. It results from fermenting the sugar in grapes. How to handle those pesky details has derailed previous attempts at ingredient labeling for wine.

The last time you had friends over, you probably made a run to the supermarket for supplies before playing the good host. If you live in Pennsylvania, it wasn't so easy. You drove to the supermarket, you drove to the state beer distributor and you drove to the state wine and spirits store. Pennsylvania is one of the few remaining "control" states, meaning that the state exerts direct control over alcohol sales.
Sound like a wasteful, inconvenient and costly hassle?
Most Pennsylvanians think so. The governor and lieutenant governor think so. Most of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives thinks so. Labor unions do not, however, and their full-throated opposition has stymied a proposal to privatize alcohol sales in the state Senate. Despite all the initial support, the longer the debate drags on, the further Pennsylvania seems to be from privatizing its alcohol distribution and sales. For the consumer, that means limited selection and more hassle.

The quintessential American wine is poised for a comeback thanks to a group of dedicated winemakers
Posted: May 29, 2013 By Tim Fish
You've missed a lot if you haven't followed Zinfandel the past few years. A quiet revolution has been going on in California, as a group of Zinfandel firebrands are raising the bar on quality. It's something I've written about as far back as 2009, but it's finally seeing fruition.
I explore the trend more thoroughly in "Zinfandel Renaissance," part of the cover package for the June 30 issue of Wine Spectator. The cult favorite and distinctly Californian wine just may be poised for a long-deserved mainstream revival.

The National Transportation and Safety Board recently recommended lowering the maximum allowed blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for drivers to 0.05 from its current 0.08. Beer and restaurant industry groups called foul. So far official voices of the wine industry have been silent.
For me it's simple: I don't want to be the cause of someone's death if I can help it, and I can minimize that risk if I don't get behind the wheel buzzed. If I am driving, I simply won't take that extra drink. That's my choice. The sticky issue is whether the law should be tightened.

It's a whole different non-trendy world
Posted: May 24, 2013 By Harvey Steiman
It was in Barcelona that I realized why they call it a tapas bar. You know what it's like in a crowded pub, the crush of humanity trying to get the bartender's attention over the happy buzz of the drinking crowd? The shoulder-to-shoulder throng pressed together in tiny El Xampanyet, near the Picasso Museum in Barcelona's Barrì Gotic, had the same vibe on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I could not fathom how a barmaid, er, waitress, could possibly get plates of croquetas and pintxos, not to mention glasses of cava, to those who ordered them.
Somehow Barcelona denizens, happily regaling each other in Spanish and Càtalan, navigate these treacherous scenes with aplomb. Here are my notes of five of the more popular tapas bars.

A disclaimer first: Reality TV is generally not my bag. But I happened to catch some of The Voice recently, and despite not being involved in the worlds of a cappella/musical theater/pop vocals (I can't sing to save my life), I have to admit that I found it super compelling. Then I started wondering what it would look like as a wine show.

Summer is finally here, so don't fret over your wines for the holiday
Posted: May 22, 2013 By Tim Fish
Memorial Day is not the time to over analyze your wine. Save that for a first-growth tasting or the next natural wine seminar. Summer is finally here, so just relax and enjoy.
Two words come to mind when I think of Memorial Day wine: easy and familiar. By "easy," I mean user-friendly, a good quaff to share with friends and family that doesn't cost a lot. And "familiar" means an old favorite, a wine you can trust not to disappoint you … or your guests or host.
I can't help you with the "familiar"—to each his own—but I'll share a few of my own later. I'll start with "easy," because there is no shortage of good, tasty value wines on the market right now. Here are 13 wines to kick off summer this Memorial Day weekend.

The challenges of the Millennial winemaker play out in sharp relief in this most traditional region
Posted: May 21, 2013 By Ben O'Donnell
The wine biz has spent several years now wringing its hands over What to Do About Millennials. Not so long ago, it was a received truth of this big, problematic, new generation of wine drinkers that they dismissed Bordeaux as an old man's game. But stop in at any Bordeaux walk-around tasting and it's immediately obvious that both sides of that formulation are wrongheaded today: More and more, what young Americans drink, young Frenchmen (and women) made. I asked a few of these young Bordelais what it's like trying to fit 2,000 years of tradition into our modern wine climate.

An emerging category is missing a moniker
Posted: May 16, 2013 By Harvey Steiman
Near as I can tell, Ridge Vineyards started the trend. Saxum does it too. Andrew Will pioneered it in Washington, where Cadence followed suit, and Owen Roe is the latest to jump in. These are all first-class wineries, and they independently came to the same conclusion: That for these wines they would rather blend grape varieties from a single vineyard to a site-specific wine than make a series of vineyard-designated varietals.
It struck me, as I removed the bag in yesterday's blind tasting from Owen Roe's Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend simply called DuBrul Vineyard, that this is becoming a separate category. And yet, we don't have a name for it.

Like most wine regions, Bordeaux has an annual rhythm. When the grapes ripen, it's time for harvest, or vendange. After the wine ferments, they pour it into oak barrels for élevage. With February, blending, or assemblage, begins.
May brings another annual Bordeaux ritual. Sadly, I don't know the French word for whining.

Wine scores seem to get bigger every year. Are the wines better? Or is something else at play?
Posted: May 15, 2013 By James Laube
Anyone who pays attention to wine ratings knows one thing: Critics are giving more 100-point scores than ever before. Are there really so many more "perfect" wines today than in the past?
It's indisputable that wines are better now than a generation ago. Vineyard management, winery technology, winemaker skill – all have progressed. And as wines have improved, ratings as reflected by scores have risen. Simply put, there are more 90-point wines, those wines of outstanding quality, today than in the past.
Yet there is something else going on. The surge of 100-point ratings is about much more than wine quality. In fact, it has little to do with the wine in the bottle. Awarding a wine a perfect rating is a powerful statement. It brings attention to the wine and the winemaker – and also to the critic.

In California wine country, Mendocino County is out in left field in more ways than one. Not only is it the Golden State's most remote and northernmost wine region, but the attitude there is different compared to places like Sonoma or Santa Barbara. Life moves at a slower pace and the mindset is more unconventional, some might even say eccentric.
It's not quite like any wine region you'll ever visit, which is just what we discovered while researching "A Wine and Food Tour of Mendocino" in the June 15 issue of Wine Spectator.

Trinchero rolls out a compostable capsule
Posted: May 14, 2013 By Dana Nigro
In my last post, I discussed the dilemma that eco-oriented wineries face when it comes to stoppering their bottles: Corks, which are natural and renewable, or screw-caps and synthetics, which can be more reliable? The same potential conflict between sustainability and efficiency crops up with the foil and plastic capsules that top bottles.
Some wineries eschew the capsule altogether, maybe opting for a little foil or wax top over a natural cork, but then miss out on a branding opportunity. Now, however, a wine-industry supplier has brought a new option to the market.

I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening?
If you were remaking The Graduate in wine country this decade, there might be a great future in bioplastics. When organic, biodynamic and sustainable vintners look to bring their low-impact philosophies to their packaging, they often end up torn over what to do about closures.
Cork is the traditional choice, and it is a renewable material, unlike the alternatives: screw caps are made from mined metals, while synthetic corks are typically derived from petrochemicals. On the other hand, if some of your wine ends up flawed because even a small percentage of corks fail, that's outright waste—not exactly a sustainable practice either.

Within wine industry circles, there's often debate about style. Winemakers talk about scaling up or down in ripeness or alcohol. Restaurateurs and sommeliers consider which wines are better-suited for their eatery, or different cuisines, or occasions.
I never hear much of anything from consumers about wanting different styles. In fact, when I'm on the road, visiting with or drinking with friends and readers, the concerns I hear most often relate to where people live and which wines are (and are not) available to them there.

The new hipster restaurants of Portland, Ore., are emblematic of a national phenomenon
Posted: May 8, 2013 By Tim Fish
I spent a few days in Portland, Ore., last week, and you can't deny it has a distinctive personality, a combo of the laidback vibe of the West Coast with the rusty sneer of an old East Coast port city. It's also one of the hipster capitals of America. Every generation has its young, counter-culture crowd, from the beatniks and hippies to the punks, rappers and beyond, but today's hipsters have created a lifestyle. You may have seen it parodied on The Simpsons and Portlandia on TV.
One thing that distinguishes this new generation of hipsters is its passion for serious food and wine and, in the past five years, dozens of hip restaurants and wine bars targeting that crowd have sprung up in Portland. These aren't places you just stumble upon. They're generally smallish and quirky, hidden away in one of the city's numerous neighborhoods. You have to go looking for them.

The BottleRock music, wine and food festival will welcome 40,000 visitors a day to the city of Napa
Posted: May 6, 2013 By James Laube
Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to descend on the city of Napa (pop. 76,915) this week, but, oddly enough, that has little to do directly with wine. They're coming for BottleRock, a five-day music festival featuring more than 60 bands on three stages, headlined by the Black Keys, the Kings of Leon, Jane's Addiction, Train, Alabama Shakes and the Zac Brown Band.
It would be a big event anywhere; it's truly seismic for Napa. BottleRock promoters expect to draw 35,000 to 40,000 music lovers each day to the Napa Valley Expo, a 26-acre plot of state-owned property best known for the annual Napa Town & Country Fair in August, which might draw 40,000 people in a week. To get a grasp on the scale of BottleRock, think Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn., or Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Southern California's Indio, two big outdoor music festivals with scores of big-name acts and huge crowds.

N.D dairy laws guarantee milk prices for farmers, retailers
It only looks like a simple jug of milk. In truth it is a regulated commodity, "vital to the public health and welfare," in the language of the North Dakota Century Code.By: Christopher Bjorke, Grand Forks Herald
It only looks like a simple jug of milk.
In truth it is a regulated commodity, "vital to the public health and welfare," in the language of the North Dakota Century Code.
It has been subject to "unfair, unjust, destructive and demoralizing trade practices" that "constitute a constant menace to the health and welfare of the inhabitants of this state."
And in North Dakota, it costs no less than $1.73 for a half-gallon of 2 percent, $1.65 for skim or $1.80 for whole — though it usually sells for more than that.
The average consumer might not think about where the milk on the supermarket shelf comes from or how the price is set, but the product is regulated to support a market for producers, guarantee minimum "safety net" prices and prevent out-of-state producers from undercutting state dairy farmers.
But that is the role of the state Milk Marketing Board, a body whose power is to "supervise, investigate and regulate every segment of the state's dairy industry," including licensing producers, processors, distributors and setting floors for the prices paid to the producer, wholesaler and the retailer of milk products.
"The whole idea was to have dairy farmers in North Dakota, to have creameries in North Dakota," said John Weisgerber Jr., the board's director in Bismarck. "The idea is to keep it here in North Dakota."
Keeping it local
According to Weisgerber, who has been with the board for more than 40 years, the regulation of milk and related products goes back to the 1930s, but gained momentum when supermarkets began to displace local milk distributors.
"They used to deliver milk house-to-house in horse-drawn wagons," Weisgerber said.
The impetus of the board, according to Weisgerber, was to protect local producers and support distribution of milk to rural areas that might be ignored by larger, out-of-state dairies, which expanded in the 1940s.
"You've got miles and miles and miles and low population density," he said. "Who's going to go service Minot and Pisek and all of those places?"
While the federal government has been involved in regulating milk marketing for decades, the state Legislature in 1967 approved a state board as an option that would be more responsive to the interests of the industry in the state.
The board's five members are appointed by the governor and include a producer, a processor, a retailer and two consumer representatives.
Weisgerber likened the milk board to the North Dakota Mill and Elevator and the Bank of North Dakota, two state entities created to improve farmers' leverage with Minnesota grain buyers and provide favorable financing for growers.
But while those institutions are particular to North Dakota, there is nothing unique about North Dakota's board.
"There's about eight states that have laws very similar to this," Weisgerber said.
Multiple minimums
The board's interest was protecting the viability of the dairy farmers with a guaranteed price, but during the creation of the board, processors and retailers also asked for guaranteed minimum prices at their points in the trip from farm to fridge, creating floors for prices paid to processors and retailers.
The current price paid to producers is the $22.12 per hundredweight of raw milk.
The board also has the power to set a maximum price for milk but it does not now.
Weisgerber said the dairy industry is a good candidate for regulation because the perishable nature of its products. Milk has to be produced and cows need to be milked, and if farmers do not have a favorable market to sell to, they can fail and the state loses some of its dairy industry.
For the most part, the system works, he said. At times, there are complaints about the restrictions against retailers selling milk below the minimum price, but most stores set their prices above the current $1.73 for 2 percent, he said.
"For retailers, it keeps the playing field level for us," said Kim Kessler, a milk board member and grocer in Beulah, N.D. The price minimums protect small grocers from competition from national retailers that can better afford to sell dairy products at a loss.
For consumers, the board supports local milk producers and helps serve small towns where grocers struggle to stay open, said Barbara Lang of Jamestown, N.D., who represents consumers.
"We make sure milk gets to where it needs to go," she said.
Weisgerber said the board helps consumers get fresh local milk and only gives up the ability to buy milk under cost.
"We in North Dakota don't sell milk as a loss leader," a product stores sell at a loss that it recoups when the customer buys other goods, he said. "Everything pays its way."

This is in response to this blog post.
First of all, the "NLS" protocol mentioned in the post has basically nothing to do with Battle.net. It is the so-called Grunt protocol. This protocol is a hacky, ad-hoc protocol that most Blizzard games used up until around World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion. After that came the Battle.net 2.0 protocol (which still seems to differ across games). Battle.net 2.0, as opposed to Grunt, actually brings authentication together with Battle.net features like chatting, friend lists, etc. Battle.net 2.0 uses SRP v6a and uses SHA-256 instead of SHA-1. That's not all — the process is much more involved (even involves the server sending the client raw machine code modules that the client then executes; similar to, but not quite the same as, Warden) — but the details are beyond the scope of this post.
Grunt is entirely unused by World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3 today. The World of Warcraft client does still have the code necessary to perform authentication using Grunt, but it takes some binary patching to get there (most WoW 3.x private servers do this). In other words, the aforementioned blog post sheds light on a protocol that is almost entirely unused today, and the information is therefore not relevant to understanding modern Blizzard games' authentication processes.
The Grunt protocol was reverse engineered years ago, and has been reversed further as Blizzard added more stuff to it. The results have always been public in just about every World of Warcraft emulator ever, such as MaNGOS, TrinityCore, WCell, etc. One example of an implementation can be found here and here. Further, the opcodes are defined here. This stuff is not exactly revolutionary. Also, the packet names you see in those sources are what they are actually called in the client.
I really don't want to appear to be a giant dick, but this stuff is not news, nor are the results published on the aforementioned blog and wiki entirely accurate.
(All this being said, the author of the aforementioned blog post is correct in his analysis of SRP.)

Addressing Water Damage Orange County Problem Immediately
Have you ever wondered where the water damage started that it almost ruined the whole of your home or your property? The truth is that water damage is one of the hardest disasters to deal with in your home. As a matter of fact, it could hit or sneak your entire property all of a sudden and you are not even prepared for it to come. There are some homeowners who experience water damage only in short time while some have experience the damage for long time. Regardless of when or where it strikes, you understand that it will be a tough task to clean up. Most often, if you will contact for water damage Orange County service, they can help you to assess with the problem.
There are also other things that the water damage Orange County professional teams can do. They sometimes figure out where the source of the damage is. This is because not all water damage is the same. There are some homeowners who experience having leaky pipe or broken pipes while some have problem behind their drywall. It could also be under the property slab which causes the problem slowly. Before it will show up, it may take some time most especially if the leak that starts is slow. The moment that you will observe your ceiling tiles sagging is already the time where the water damage becomes extensive.
Drainage system problem is also other water damage Orange County source. It happens in majority cases and it can result for sink, toilet, bathtub or other more cases. Then, there are other failures. The refrigerator, washing machine or the dishwasher also results for water damage because it has been hidden there for quite a time. There are also cases when damage is already apparent to our naked eye. That kind of damage is the leak that started in our basement walls.
You can solve this problem once you will find the water damage Orange County experts to deal with this problem. They can solve the broken pipes or do cases of plumbing for that instance. Before they do the job, they will first have to understand the water damage extent. Through it, they can do an immediate action. It will all depend to the condition of the hoe so that they can tell you how long their service will take. There are some that needs week of checking before they can make sure that there will be no possible mildew problem to occur.

Antico Monastery, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Imagine owning your own ancient Italian monastery. Antico Monastero is an old monastery dating back to the 13th Century. It is located on the top of a hill in the countryside around Perugia. It has been restored into a luxury accommodation. There are 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms as well as an owner's apartment with a reception room, studio, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. There is also an old church, and stables which have been converted into a restaurant with professional kitchen. The restoration preserved the original structure with its arches and vaulted ceilings and used original materials, like terracotta and stone to pave the floors and wood for most of the furniture to maintain the consistent look of the property. The land includes both chestnut woods and pasture land. It is listed at 2.3 million euros.

Hello Sugarboogers. So, after talking to you all about my SADs, The Mister and I got out of The City and headed down to the South Bay, where the sun shines like there is no tomorrow and the beer flows like wine. Aside from the amazeballs weather down there, the place is pure suburbia...which is basically like the Twilight Zone to me. Do you know how long it has been since I have seen a chain restaurant or a Target? The answer is, toodamnedlong. While down there, I stopped into a CVS to pick up a toothbrush and walked out with all this goodness:
It's not that we don't have drugstores in SF...We do. A lot actually. There is a Walgreens on every corner. But they are janky. I have to comb through adult diapers, escape from Alcatraz t-shirts, and rotten sushi just to get to my Sally Hensen nail decals. Also, for some reason everything at every Walgreens in Frisco is under lock and key...So that means every time I need to pick up some tampons, I have to press a call button and then some jerkoff that bites his own ears comes over and I have to explain why I need the super OB's. I feel like Mortified Mildred when I am in there. Anyways, with no one judging my shopping habits, I fully went windowstothewall in CVS and since you are all enablers, I thought you might enjoy this:
1. Simple Facial Wipes: Sadsmallconfession, I am not great about washing my face before bed. Mostly because it's a whole process and I have to moisturize, etc just to go to sleep. Well, these wipes make it so much easier and I feel like they have moisturizer built in because my skin doesn't feel all tight and Magda-like.
2. Jergens Natural Glow Express & Firming Lotion: Speaking of Magda, since it's too cold to get a real tan, I have gotten my Snooki on and started using this stuff. Let me tell you, the express lotion works reallyreallyreally well. I was actually sitting in a meeting the other day thinking: "Damn, who went to the tanning bed at lunch, I can smell it..." Then I looked at my shoulder and nearly fell out of my chair because I had reverted to my Floridian skin tone without doing a thing. Caution: Only use this for the prescribed 3 days, you freaking tanorexic. Also, wash your hands after use. I look like I have been making pottery with Patrick Swayze.
3. Revlon Hot Coral Lipstick: Because coral is the new awesome.
4. L'Oreal Root Rescue: Last time I went to the salon it cost me nearly $400 for my ombre. I love getting my hrrrrrr did, but I really don't feel like sitting in a salon for a whole day right now...I am also debating another big hair color change. This will buy me a few weeks for me to make that decision and save me some dough in the meantime.
5. Simi Alexander Valley 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon: Because when you are at a drugstore and they actually have a quality wine that doesn't come in a freaking box, you buy it...Well, at least if you are me, you buy it. Besides: all of these goodies + wine = Best GNI EVER!
6. Essie polishes: I bought "Lights", "Sand Tropez", "Orange, it Obvious", and "Chinchilly". Is this a new thing that drugstores are carrying my favorite laquers or have I just been stuck in the land of judgy store clerks for too long?
7. Skintimate Moisturizing Cream Shave Lotion: YESYESYESYES to all of this. Since I am going to have my gams out as much as possible these days, this stuff is a total necessity.
8. Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream Medium/Deep: Holy a;guihr[eihugr'ioherwehbbjiubhw!!!!! This was me when I put this stuff on:
I have heard about BB cream but was hesitant to give it a whirl, because A: I didn't know what kind of baby dragons needed to die in order for it to do all the things that I read that it did. B: You know how attached to my products I am. So, I figured, why not spend $13 and see if this so-called "miracle cream" worked. Keep in mind, my idea of "miracle" is the fact that Britney hasn't turned into a vat of potato salad by now, so, my standards may be a little low. Well, guess, what, it does work! It's effingfantastic actually! In the summertime, I like to have a natural, sunkissed face, that is still a little dewy. This stuff will give you that. I swear to everythinggoodandbritney that I don't even have to wear concealer anymore. Try this stuff, and thank me later.
OK, there you have it. Go forth and buy crap because all you do is enable me.

Apple Restaurant & Bombar
Online Reservations
There are lots of different seating which me and my date LOVED. we managed to grab a cute little booth in the corner of the restaurant. We ordered beer samplers with our meal which was great because we could not decide on what we wanted to drink. The seafood wontons were great, especially those two sauces that they came served on top of (both worked great). i had the pan seared sesame crusted tuna but it was a bit overcooked so i recommend ordering medium. They put a green sauce on top that did not go with the dish at all. so ask for it on the side if you want to try this dish. the coconut curry was amazing, the shrimp was def a good choice to go inside ( thanks to our waiter for the recommendation ). they have a karoke room as well.
Pleasantly surprised!!!! Picked this restaurant becasue the one I really wanted wasn't available and was certainly delighted by the service. We stayed there at the table way after we had finished our meal but we were not rushed or were made to feel we had to leave so we kept drinking. Service was outstanding and the server was knowledgeable about the items in the menu to make recos as we had questions. I was even more surprised about the check as after all we ate and drank it came way under what we expected great find.
My friends and I enjoyed the service, drinks and food! The place is unpretentious but has a great vibe. A great spot for happy hour, food, friends and good times! My good friend had a great kickstart to her birthday!
I went here for a family birthday dinner. The drinks were great, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was a little slow, but I think it was mostly so we could enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. My only comment is that I would have liked a little more variety on the vegetarian menu.
The food was great. The only issue was that some of the dishes had cooled off by the time it reached us. Our waitress was wonderful if a bit overworked, as there was a large group that came at about the same time as we did. A little more staff on a Friday night would do wonders. On the whole, looking forward to going back.

Three sustained pitches. Pitches 1 and 3 are open faces with thin seams. Pitch 2 is a meat-and-potato pitch: long, muddy and strenuous. 1. Climb easy slabs for fifty feet to a steep wall. Follow a seam (A3) to a three-bolt belay (130', A3). 2. Move left into a slot angling up and right. Up this and the long continuation crack in the obvious muddy left-facing dihedral to a tiny perch and three-bolt belay (170', A3). 3. Gain a poor seam ten feet right of the belay and follow this for thirty feet to a bolt (invisible from below) and jog right into a better crack leading to a zone of broken and dirty ledges. Finagle your way through this zone to a crack in a flare. When this ends, tension left into an crack in an obvious deep slot; up this to the big ledge and a three-bolt belay (130', A3+). 4. Move right to join the North Chimney route. Grunt over a bulge, pass a few bolts, then climb mostly free up the chimney to the large ledge under the final bolt ladder (A1, 5.7R, 90'). 5. Up the North Chimney/Phantom Sprint bolt ladder past about ten bolts (A0, 30')
The Iron Chef starts about forty feet right of Phantom Sprint. Descent: Rappel the route (or rap Phantom Sprint)
1 Rurp, 8 Birdbeaks, 10 Toucans, 3 Peckers (large), 2 Spectres, 2 Knifeblades, 4 Leepers, 6 Lost Arrows, 4 Standard Angles, 2 each larger angles to 2". Selection of nuts. Cams: 2- to 3 each from 0.5" to #5 Camalot.
Kudos, Crusher! Excellent name. What is the "secret ingredient"? Mud?
"1 Rurp, 8 Birdbeaks, 10 Toucans, 3 Peckers (large), 2 Spectres"... Well there's a gear list you don't see every day! Nice work Crusher and Chip!
How are the rap anchors on this for descending Phantom? Is a bolt needed/helpful or are the anchors fairly new? Looks like the FA was 2007, is that correct? any info would be great!
Three bolts on each belay. All good bolts, placed in 2007 (all are 4", most are half-inch). Top anchor has a good ledge, next one down has a small ledge for one person to stand or sit, lowest anchor has very little, semi-hanging with a sloping footledge as I recall. Yeah, the rap line is pretty direct, might be quite convenient for rapping Phantom Sprint.
YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!! YUR GONNA DIE FER SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Looks like a great route...perfect for Summer! JA

"At the half way stage of the World Cup, police forces across the UK are paying unsolicited visits to men with a record of domestic violence. It's a strategy recommended by the Association of Chief Police Officers. According to ACPO, research shows that domestic violence peaks during big sporting events like the World Cup. Many police forces have therefore concluded that it makes sense to let potential perpetrators know they are being watched. As Joshua Rozenberg finds when he sees the policy in action in Nottinghamshire, police on the ground belive the policy is working.

2013 Best of Show, Canadian Quilters Association National Juried Show 2011 Founders Award, International Quilt Association, Houston TX
In June 2009, I started a new quilt project inspired by the words of John 15:5. The imagery of vines and branches and fruit suggested wonderful appliqué motifs and I was eager to see how they could be interpreted in a quilt. Two years later, in May 2011, the quilt was completed. Click here to see more photos. To read more about the making of this quilt, please visit my blog category Flourish on the Vine.
Learn the fascinating technique of papercut appliqué. Similar to making paper snowflakes, sewflakes are unique because of the use of a recognizable image as the foundation of the design.
Design your own or choose from the five quilt patterns also included in the book.

text: I'm just starting at RioSalado. I graduated high school, got married and had kids right away. That's what I wanted back then. Now the kids are grown and it's time to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I was married for 25 years and never really had a career. Now I'm on my own and starting over. It's hard to find a career without a college degree but I didn't think I could afford to go back to school. I have a crazy schedule, dying laptop and don't make extra "disposable" money. The Financial Aid office at Rio Salado is very helpful. They showed me that I not only could afford to go to school but I actually got money back to buy a new laptop! I just finished my first set of classes and am looking forward to my next classes. Signed, |

Reggae star Sean Paul heads to Chinatown
Jamaican Reggae artist Sean Paul was spotted heading towards London's China Town.
The Reggae artist dined out at the renowned Cheun Cheng Ku Restaurant for several hours. Sean Paul is in London to promote his latest album Tomahawk Technique and is scheduled to perform at the indigo 02 tonight.
Celebs in the city
Nicki Minaj infuriated her fans at her hotel in central London by not taking time to greet them.
The diminutive Trinidadian rapper who has recently shared studio time with Jamaican DJ Beenie Man (Doctor) has struggled to garner positive press since her last UK visit.
In London fans went to extraordinary measures to get noticed by the star, one man launched himself onto the back of the moving vehicles others pursued the car on foot.
A fan said: "We've been here three days now and she keeps using the back-door. What's the point of her actually being here if she doesn't give back to her fans."

It's an excellent design for what it was meant for: filling in ancient Unix directory entries, which had exactly that format (14 byte max, null-terminated if shorter than that). The mistake was putting it in the C library where people might be tempted to use it for other purposes. (See also that horrible pre-stdio function gets(), which I see no uses of other than wrapping in things like libssp, but which still cna never be removed. At least it's hardly used anymore thanks to the warning you get whenever you use it: but strncpy() is used too much to warn about, and there's no decent replacement in libc, although writing one is a matter of five minutes' work.)

MIAMI, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The dismissal Sept. 30 of a billion-dollar lawsuit against Venezuela and its bank protection fund demonstrates the limits of a U.S. court's jurisdiction over disputes between foreign nationals and their governments, said defense attorney Michael Diaz of the international Miami-based firm Diaz Reus.
High-profile Venezuelan banker Nelson J. Mezerhane, now residing in Boca Raton, Fla., filed suit in Nov. 2011 in the U.S. District Court, South District of Florida (Case no. 1:11-CV-23983) claiming that the government of Venezuela and several other persons and entities, including Venezuela's equivalent of the FDIC, Fondo De Proteccion Social De Los Depositos Bancarios (FOGADE), had illegally seized his interest in Banco Federal. U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke entered an order on Monday dismissing the case.
"Although we do not yet have the full opinion, the court appears to have applied a well-settled doctrine – that claims arising from a foreign government's expropriation of the property of its own citizens, within its own territory, shouldn't be adjudicated in the U.S.," said Diaz.
Mezerhane sought to dodge the expropriation rule by alleging that he was 'stateless', even going so far as to liken his plight to that of Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust in World War II.
Diaz called that argument patently frivolous and an insult to victims of the Holocaust. "Mr. Mezerhane is a wealthy man who continues to hold himself out as a Venezuelan citizen whenever it suits his purposes to do so. Ultimately, this is about a fight between a high-profile citizen of a foreign country and his government."
Diaz Reus partner Brant Hadaway added that "the law places narrow limits on the ability of U.S. courts to second-guess actions taken by governments as to their own citizens. Today we helped uphold the importance of that legal principle."

Everton are one of a number of clubs looking at making a move for Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair in the summer.
The former Swansea wide man moved to the champions last summer for £6.2m but his appearances have been few and far between for City and he has only started two Premier League matches this season.Sinclair, who played for Great Britain in last summer's Olympics, is now poised to consider his future this summer after his disappointing campaign, but Everton are not alone in wanting him. Aston Villa are also keen on the 23-year-old and could take advantage of the uncertainty at Goodison Park surrounding David Moyes' future to land the player, although they have to ensure they win their relegation battle first.

European Union (EU) top leaders have agreed on a package of growth initiatives worth 120 billion euros (about $150 billion) to help the most vulnerable economies in the bloc, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said during a two-day summit in Brussels to tackle the debt crisis.
"We will boost the financing of the economy by mobilizing around 120 billion euros for immediate growth measures," Van Rompuy told a press conference Thursday night.
The projected compact for growth and jobs has not been agreed upon yet, as it takes longer than expected to talk about growth, according to Van Rompuy.
"In the growth and jobs agenda, there's a section that deals with financial stability. That chapter has not been discussed yet," Xinhua quoted him as saying.

Black robes, white coats: the puzzle of judicial policymaking and scientific evidence
"Black Robes, White Coats is an impressive and ambitious exploration of the factors that influence judicial decision-making on the admission of scientific evidence. With meticulous detail and rigorous logic, Dr. Harris unfolds a compelling analysis that will be a model for subsequent studies in the field of judicial gatekeeping." --Neil Gerlach, author of The Genetic Imaginary: DNA in the Canadian Criminal Justice System
From the Inside Flap
Black Robes, White Coats combines the perspective of a political scientist with much-needed empirical study of judicial admissibility decisions to reveal the political and policymaking aspects of the use of scientific expertise in the courtroom. Harris provides a unique contribution to the ongoing debates in the legal and scientific communities, as well as in the media and popular culture, concerning the shifting standards of reliability for science in law.

The general masses are struggling to get their meals but the corrupt rulers are living a luxurious life on the wealth of nation. Instead of spending the taxpayers' money on their betterment, for provision of electricity, quality healthcare and education, the leaders freely dole this out in foreign countries while on private and personal trips undertaken at the expense of the poor masses.
On a trip aimed at fulfilling a long-standing desire to offer prayers at the shrine of sufi saint Khwaja Moninuddin Chisti in Ajmer, President Asif Ali Zardari while on a personal visit donated $1 million through the public exchequer to the shrine without any qualms. Ironically, Zardari could not spare Indian Rs500,000 ($9,200) as surety bond for the release of Dr Chishty. Indian film producer and a peace activist, Mahesh Bhatt, deposited the amount in the Indian Supreme Court on behalf of Dr Chishty. But the PPP government, as usual, is taking credit for the release!
Frustration is overwhelming the people of Pakistan as the rulers are pushing them towards an uncertain future. There is discontent and frustration not just among the wider masses that supported the PPP, but also amongst the workers and activists of the party. Many of the loyal supporters and close associates of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto have disassociated and distanced themselves from the PPP that has now been hijacked by Asif Ali Zaradri.
The people have been severely hit by the skyrocketing prices, extreme poverty, rising unemployment and the worst kind of energy crisis. Unfortunately, the problems are compounding with the passage of time; increasing the number of suicide and crimes committed by the hapless. Mobs of angry protesters are out in every city across the country but the political cohorts either do not seem to care or do not have the capability to rectify the situation.
At the present stage Pakistan is passing through its worst economic crisis and social turmoil. There are more suicide bombings in Pakistan than Iraq, Afghanistan or any other country. Target killings across Karachi and Quetta instead of abating are increasing day-by-day and becoming the norm.
The people are sick and tired of the situation. They cannot go out easily due to fear of being shot at. Target killings go unabated despite security pickets in the city and patrolling by police and Rangers. The most ironic aspect within this calamitous situation has been the cold indifference expressed by the PPP leadership and the government towards the plight of the masses.
Pakistanis must demand an answer for the inability of our governments to perform the basic functions for which they exist. The answers, however, cannot come until honest and committed leaders are voted into power. This in turn will not happen until the electoral process is made to reflect the popular will. This will not happen unless Pakistanis rise now to demand that whatever needs to be done must be done to ensure that the next general elections are free and fair.

Lower Saucon Township Council last night began dealing with the harsh reality that not all of its residents can afford their share of the sanitary sewer system now being installed.
Council two years ago rejoiced when a state low-interest loan was obtained, making the $6.7 million project feasible for most affected residents. But most does not mean all, and the council last night heard the first appeal for relief by a resident.

Didnt make it to garage
Well lucky i guess it dead in front of my house. I was takeing it to get the codes read monday. Im the one with the rough idle its only dead once sence this problem started but it started right up today it didnt. I changed the CPS two days ago Ford model no change in truck.Rough idle still there with cel, comes and goes it was rough last night coming home from work got home set for a hour went back out no problems run like a new one weird. I First said i thought it did it when it was cooler out thats probably not correct because it set in a 65 degree garage last night and still did it. One more thing if you start it and the cel and rough is on from start it wont go back off till you turn it back off and then if you go back to it acouple hours later most of time its fine.But if you start it and it runs well sometimes the cel and idle might come and go but will go away after a few minutes Weird i also checked my hpop this morning for good oil level it was 3/4 full no run back. Thanks

Yes I have heard of CPS's being bad out of the bag, it is a man made part. You have a CEL on so your first step needs to be in getting those codes read. If you live close to me I would be happy to read them for you.

Accordingly, I wrote a series of very damning activity reports in which I left no room for error about how I felt concerning the lack of management support. Unfortunately, I never received any comments back and never knew if they had been incorporated into reports up through the management structure.
The evening meeting of January 27, 1986, was the concluding event preceding the launch disaster. The major activity that day focused upon the predicted 18 degrees Fahrenheit overnight temperature.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, it is now predicted that the next day's temperature in Florida will exceed the record cold experienced the previous year. The next day is the day scheduled for the Challenger flight. Boisjoly is firmly convinced that this extreme weather condition presents a major threat to the capacity of the O-ring seals to perform their function, and thus to the survival of the flight crew. Time is short. What actions are appropriate to take in such a situation?

Francesca turned four months old on Monday. She is in the 97th percentile for her height and weight. She is as big as a six month old. She's actually been wearing size 6-9mo clothes since she turned three months old - and really, she's outgrowing some of those (it's her legs). She's a big girl, like her momma. Her doctor said she won't be shopping in the petite section. Boy, I know it. She has broad shoulders like her big brother and big chunky thighs like...like Francesca. Even her doctor stole a squeeze of those chunky legs.
Francesca is our first baby that really looks like me. She's white like me, she's chunky like me, she has dimples like me, and she doesn't look like her dad. She's also my first thumb sucker. I know, I know. But you know what? I don't care. It's so cute!
Jacob looked a lot like me when he was a baby. But Francesca is a girl and therefore, by default, she looks more like me. When you look at Jacob now, you can see his resemblance to my male cousins. Katelyn looks like James. Period. She actually looks a great deal like one of James's nieces.
How can you resist smiling at that crinkle nose? You can't.

As one of the largest global brewers in the world, Heineken prides itself on making one product very well: beer. Students participating in GET EuroTech visited the Heineken Brewery Headquarters in Amsterdam last week. Heineken is the first and only, truly global beer brands, available for consumption in more than 178 countries. With operations in 71 countries, the IT systems that maintain the global operations of Heineken are essential to the success of the corporation.
Rory Crosbie, Manager for Global Business Application Services at Heineken International, spoke to students about what systems and IT business practices are employed to make Heineken one of the top global corporations in the world. Heineken utilizes Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, which are smaller SAP platforms for its exports and imports. 90% of their SAP systems are on a private cloud. This creates an efficient way of managing some of its major data including, but not limited to, accounting and customer billing.
Students learned about some of the major challenges faced by global brands like Heineken. With Heineken growing at a rapid rate, in more than 178 countries across the globe, outsourcing is a primary function of the IT operations. Heineken International's Global Business Application Services is responsible for handling offshore outsourced IT services supporting the corporation's daily operations across five continents. They must overcome language and cultural barriers to train staff to be global operators. As future information technology professionals working in a global market, the Heineken visit was an enlightening experience for GET EuroTech attendees.

A SEAFOOD salad is a great summer dish. This mixture of seafood here is my ideal, but you can adjust the proportions, depending on what's in the market.
I slice the calamari and the scallops, but I leave the shrimp whole. People like to see big shrimp. If you're spending money on the good stuff, why chop it up? I always put scungilli -- conch -- in the salad. It's kind of a key ingredient: meaty, a little chewy and sweet with that briny finish. The slices of scungilli look almost like porcini in the bowl.
I keep the mussels in their shells because I like the way they look. I prefer small cultivated mussels, not the great big flabby ones that have no flavor.
To cook the seafood I make a court bouillon that's pretty salty. I put in some seaweed, the kind you see in the fish markets with the lobsters. I boil the scungilli, but most people will buy it already cooked, so it can be lightly poached like the other ingredients. But you have to clean the scungilli. The only thing I put in raw are the clams. And by the way, for me, there is only one clam: a littleneck from Long Island. It has a hard dark-gray shell. If you can't find them, buy clams from Maine. But don't buy the ones from the South with their lighter shells. They don't have the same flavor.

I was overwhelmed to say the least.
Sick to say the most. I have had a few of those, "oh crap – what are the kids up to" moments in my career as a mom. I have walked into a room full of powder while the kids are throwing it into the air, giggling, and saying "It's Snowing!" when they were small. I found Chee's name etched into our kitchen table in her backwards pre-k handwriting. But nothing compares to what I found last time we were trying to sell our house.
Picture this:
It was 2008 and we had our house up for sale. The kids were 2 and 4 years old.
We had painters over a week or two before to help with fresh paint. We had an offer on the house, but it was contingent upon their house selling – so we were still actively showing it. I was working downstairs while the kids were playing upstairs. Then I got that mom feeling of "the kids have been awfully quiet" and went up to check on them.
This is what I found!
It took a series of baths, some scrubbing, and a banning of all markers in the house! The markers used were my sharpies and scrapbook markers. Seriously, how do you remove sharpie from a wall? I had no idea. The markers didn't come off of anything easily. Mr. Clean magic eraser helped some, but really after hours of scrubbing the walls we resorted to just re-priming the walls where the markers were and re-painting. Mad props to my husband though – the house was fixed and showing ready 3 days later by the weekend.
I recall going up the stairs and seeing a little writing on the hall. I yelled out to the kids, "Who wrote on this wall" and my son replied, "Which Wall?" I was about to say, "You know which wall" but then I walked into his room. WOW. I HAD NO WORDS. I walked around almost in a dream-like state overwhelmed and just numb. I'm so glad I was numb, it made handling the kids much easier. I have a temper normally, so I'm very glad that I just went numb. I just went downstairs and grabbed my camera and went back up and shot that video. I wanted to show it to my husband at work, to my mom, to our real estate agent, and to my best friend. I didn't realize that years later I'd be glad that I had taken the video when I did.
The kids are now 6 and 8. They have seen this video countless times and they swear they remember it. I can say that because of "the mess" the kids haven't written on walls ever since. I think a big part of that was that I took all markers away – like up to the top of the refrigerator for about a year. They had crayons, but they had to earn my trust back on markers. I still keep the sharpies up high, but now they're old enough to climb to get them. I have a no markers outside of the kitchen rule too.
With our current house on the market, it has me a little jumpy when I encounter any mess. Thankfully now when I hear quiet it's because they're reading or playing on an app on my phone. Oh how times have changed, yet I'm sure as they grow up the messes will be more emotional and less physical. When those days arrive (and they will soon!) I know I'll long for the days when I could fix the mess with only some paint and a paintbrush.

I just noticed that some people like to spend their time trying – bitterly and desperately, I may add – to try and discredit me in their own little worlds. On the one hand, I'd like to launch into a tirade about, say, getting a life outside of blogging. Or justify my award for Best Commentary and do a Caparas. Or write an entry justifying my selves online and offline. Then I figured, I don't really need to do that, since:
- I won;
- I have a life;
- I prove myself when necessary, not when pushed to do so, and;
- I don't make a lifestyle choice out of a neurotic desire for being liked.
So rather than waste my efforts on making potshots, I'd rather make lyrics translations. In the grand scheme of things, lyrics translations rank higher – WAAAAY higher – than sophomoric attempts at Internet drama and having the same sense of magnanimity as intestinal tapeworms.
