Pol Roger is one of the few remaining family-owned grande marque Champagne houses. Their grande marque status was guaranteed at the turn of the century when about 20 producers banded together to establish exacting quality controls for Champagne. The annual production at Pol Roger - less than 120,000 cases - is found in the best restaurants of France, England, and the USA, and is exported to over 30 countries. Pol Roger also was the Champagne of choice of British dignitary Sir Winston Churchill, who once said of Champagne, "...In victory I deserve it, and in defeat I need it!".
Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne...Read More About Champagne
Pink Bubbles Some Champagne and sparkling wine is pink. It's more rare, and more robust, and sometimes more expensive. But it's one of those wines that is just deliciously appealing.

Harlequins chief O'Shea warns Saracens will be hard to stop
1:00pm Sunday 29th September 2013 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Director of rugby Conor O'Shea has warned Saracens will take some stopping this season after watching his Quins crash at home to the former Premiership champions.
Seventeen points from England fly half Owen Farrell and a Chris Ashton try prevented Harlequins winger Tom Williams from celebrating his 200th appearance for the club with a win.
O'Shea's men slipped to a 22-12 defeat, despite having led 12-6 through the boot of number 10 Nick Evans.
But the Stoop chief insisted all was not lost for the rest of Premiership's title hopefuls - including his own team.
"Saracens have huge strength in depth and probably have most of their key players fit," he told BBC Sport.
"Everyone knows they are an excellent team and will take some stopping, but Northampton went six from six at the start of last season. Things change drastically in the season.
"We're disappointed to lose at home, but it's important the players don't feel sorry for themselves. We're fine and I'm very comfortable with the group of players we have."
The result followed news centre Jordan Turner-Hall is expected to be sidelined until January after hip surgery last week.
He joins Joe Gray, Paul Doran Jones, Charlie Matthews, Nick Kennedy, Sam Twomey, Ross Chisholm, Ollie Lindsay-Hague, Sam Stuart and Harry Sloan on the treatment table.

Release Date: August 23, 2007 |
NETL Recognized for Publication Excellence | |||
MORGANTOWN, WV — The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has been recognized for publication excellence with the awarding of three 2007 APEX Awards. The award-winning publications outline the challenges affecting our Nation's energy supply and highlight innovative technologies the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is developing to meet current and future energy demands. Sponsored by Communications Concepts Inc., the APEX Awards are presented in recognition of superior quality in graphic design, editorial content, and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. The competition in 2007 was exceptionally intense and displayed an extraordinary level of quality. From a field of approximately 5,000 entries, a total of 114 Grand Awards were selected to honor outstanding work in 11 main categories; 1,521 Awards of Excellence were presented from 105 individual categories. The NETL DVD Forrestal Display won a Grand Award in the category of Nonprofit Small Office (Electronic & Video Publication) from a group of 223 entries. The DVD provides a brief history of the past uses of coal and demonstrates coal's vital role in power generation today. It also explains what steps the DOE, through its Office of Fossil Energy and NETL, are taking to improve the efficiency of coal utilization and to lower coal emissions through breakthrough technologies. Originally part of a two-month rotating display at DOE Headquarters in the Forrestal Building in Washington, Forrestal Display was the result of a successful group effort by federal and contractor staff at NETL. Federal and contract writers developed the scripts; a multimedia team created the videography, animation, and special effects; and NETL's Office of Public Affairs Coordination oversaw and coordinated the entire project. An APEX judge commented that the DVD provides "an excellent overview with an interesting narrative and varied, involving visuals. The video clearly covers an important topic in an easily understood manner." Carbon Sequestration Technology Roadmap and Program Plan 2006 won an Award for Excellence in the Government Agency Communications sub-category. The roadmap is an annual publication developed by NETL's Carbon Sequestration Program and Office of Public Affairs Coordination. The roadmap represents a general consensus on the major scientific and technological developments that show the most potential for achieving the goals of carbon sequestration. Carbon sequestration involves the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas emitted by power plants and other industries. The 2006 roadmap defined the existing status of CO2 capture and sequestration technology, identified research pathways, and described DOE efforts to pursue priority pathways. Numerous maps, charts, and graphs indicated the diligent research being carried out at national energy laboratories. As more research is conducted and more information becomes available, the roadmap continues to evolve. The 2007 roadmap and program plan is now available and offers an ongoing glimpse into NETL efforts to successfully achieve a 90 percent CO2 capture with a 99 percent storage permanence at less than 10 percent rise in costs of services by 2012. A brochure entitled Water and Energy: Addressing the Critical Link Between the Nation's Water Resources and Reliable and Secure Energy, which addresses integrated water and energy-related activities, won an Award of Excellence in the subcategory of Marketing & Public Relations Brochures, Manuals & Reports. The brochure contains a concise summary of the water-related research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) and systems analyses projects currently sponsored by the DOE Office of Fossil Energy and managed by NETL. The water and energy brochure focuses on fossil-fuel-based power generation, coal mining, and natural gas and oil production. Large quantities of abundant, predictable, and reliable water are a critical requirement in each of these areas, yet each area has concerns regarding its effect on the availability and quality of the Nation's water resources. The brochure uses complementary maps and images to help explain how NETL researchers are developing breakthrough technologies that address issues such as water-handling problems, complex energy systems and interactions among those systems, approaches to using non-traditional water sources to supplement or replace freshwater for power plant needs, and improved understanding of hydrological and geological systems affected by the removal and use of fossil fuels. |

Anyone care to comment? My only modifications of this are that you might add "per dollar spent" and refer to "total work done" rather than number of jobs per se. Some people might run only a single job per month, but be very interested in the size or total amount of work that job could get done by some other measure. Without the connection of money and cost benefit analysis, of course one gets the fastest possible nodes and so forth. It's only when one looks at the amount of work one can get done for your fixed budget that one suddenly realizes that one can buy a very nice complete 2.4 GHz P4 compute node for what one pays for a 3.0 GHz P4 CPU alone. CBA is the key to happy cluster design. Spend your money getting what you need to get the most work done in the least amount of time, for your budget. Unless, of course, you are backed by the full buying power of the U.S. Government, in which case you get whatever you damn well please...:-) rgb Robert G.

Posted: Jan 23, 2013 2:29 PM by The Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A California couple has filed a lawsuit claiming the Church of Scientology duped them into giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes that were misrepresented.
Luis and Maria Garcia of Irvine, Calif., filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday in Tampa against several church-affiliated organizations.
Among the accusations is that they were repeatedly strong-armed into supporting disaster relief efforts only to find the money never went where it was supposed to. Attorney Theodore Babbitt says it was an elaborate scheme that ultimately benefited the church coffers and the pockets of its leader.
Church spokeswoman Pat Harney said it had not yet been served with the lawsuit, but challenged any contention that money was misappropriated.

TVA Survey Signals Good Fishing for Bass Tourney at Watts Bar
April 19, 2010
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Sport fish surveys show a healthy aquatic environment, record numbers of fish and promising conditions for The Bass Federation's 2010 national championship at Watts Bar Reservoir on April 22-24.
An April 14 survey at Watts Bar's Caney Creek boat ramp netted 579 fish, the largest catch total at the site since surveying began at Watts Bar in 2002. The catch rate of 96.5 fish per hour is also the highest ever.
"Nearly every site we've checked at Watts Bar has had big fish and lots of them," said Tennessee Valley Authority aquatic biologist Donny Lowery. "Our survey results show that this reservoir harbors a very healthy fish population."
Bass Federation President Robert Cartlidge said the survey results reflect TVA's outstanding water management efforts and are raising expectations among the tournament's 94 contestants.
"By all accounts from our anglers who have been there and pre-fished, the fishing on Watts Bar is outstanding," Cartlidge said. "The work that TVA and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency have done with this fishery is phenomenal. Area residents should be proud of the resource that they have in their backyard. We thank them for letting us experience it for a few days.
"Watts Bar is living proof that with responsible management, humans, industry and nature can co-exist together in a successful and meaningful way."
The Caney Creek survey is one of three conducted annually at Watts Bar. TVA surveyors use a boat-mounted electro-fishing technique to temporarily stun fish. The fish are counted, weighed, measured and then released unharmed. Focusing primarily on bass and crappie species, the effort yields data on the population, size and weight of sport fish while also providing an overall assessment of fish health and water quality.
The data help TVA reduce the impact of river operations on fish, support Environmental Protection Agency permitting requirements and supplement state game and fish agencies' fish management decisions.
TVA is co-sponsoring The Bass Federation championship event. Anglers will compete for two days with weigh-ins at Ladd Park in Kingston, Tenn. The field will be cut to the top contestants for Saturday's final day. Winners, based on the heaviest cumulative catches over the three days, will be announced Saturday at Knoxville Convention Center. For more information, visit The Bass Federation website at: http://www.bassfederation.com/.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for utility and business customers in most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia – an area of 80,000 square miles with a population of 9 million. TVA operates 29 hydroelectric dams, 11 coal-fired power plants, three nuclear plants and 11 natural gas-fired power facilities and supplies up to 36,000 megawatts of electricity, delivered over 16,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. TVA also provides flood control, navigation, land management and recreation for the Tennessee River system and works with local utilities and state and local governments to promote economic development across the region. TVA, which makes no profits and receives no taxpayer money, is funded by sales of electricity to its customers. Electricity prices in TVA's service territory are below the national average.

NEW YORK (AP) - Nearly 50 dead, more than 8.2 million households without power in 17 states, and Superstorm Sandy still isn't through. It's been inching its way west into Pennsylvania and is expected to make a sharp turn into upstate New York. Forecasters say it's still capable of producing flooding and wind damage. In its wake, water still stands in shoreline communities.
The full extent of the damage in New Jersey, where the storm roared ashore Monday night with hurricane-force winds of 80 mph, was unclear. Police and fire officials, some with their own departments flooded, fanned out to rescue hundreds.
"We are in the midst of urban search and rescue. Our teams are moving as fast as they can," Gov. Chris Christie said. "The devastation on the Jersey Shore is some of the worst we've ever seen. The cost of the storm is incalculable at this point."
More than 8.2 million people across the East were without power. Airlines canceled more than 15,000 flights around the world, and it could be days before the mess is untangled and passengers can get where they're going.
The storm also disrupted the presidential campaign with just a week to go before Election Day.
President Barack Obama canceled a third straight day of campaigning, scratching events scheduled for Wednesday in swing state Ohio. Republican Mitt Romney resumed his campaign, but with plans to turn a political rally in Ohio into a "storm relief event."
Lower Manhattan, which includes Wall Street, was among the hardest-hit areas after the storm sent a nearly 14-foot surge of seawater, a record, coursing over its seawalls and highways.
Water cascaded into the gaping, unfinished construction pit at the World Trade Center, and the New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day, the first time that has happened because of weather since the Blizzard of 1888. The NYSE said it will reopen on Wednesday.
A huge fire destroyed as many as 100 houses in a flooded beachfront neighborhood in Queens on Tuesday, forcing firefighters to undertake daring rescues. Three people were injured.
New York University's Tisch Hospital evacuated 200 patients after its backup generator failed. About 20 babies from the neonatal intensive care unit were carried down staircases and were given battery-powered respirators.
A construction crane that collapsed in the high winds on Monday still dangled precariously 74 floors above the streets of midtown Manhattan, and hundreds of people were evacuated as a precaution. And on Staten Island, a tanker ship wound up beached on the shore.
With water standing in two major commuter tunnels and seven subway tunnels under the East River, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was unclear when the nation's largest transit system would be rolling again. It shut down Sunday night ahead of the storm.
Joseph Lhota, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the damage was the worst in the 108-year history of the New York subway.
The saltwater surge inundated subway signals, switches and the electrified third rails, and covered tracks with sludge. Workers began pumping the water out and will ultimately have to walk the hundreds of miles of track to inspect it.
Millions of more fortunate New Yorkers surveyed the damage as dawn broke, their city brought to an extraordinary standstill.
"Oh, Jesus. Oh, no," Faye Schwartz said she looked over her neighborhood in Brooklyn, where cars were scattered like leaves.
Reggie Thomas, a maintenance supervisor at a prison near the overflowing Hudson River, emerged from an overnight shift, a toothbrush in his front pocket, to find his Honda with its windows down and a foot of water inside. The windows automatically go down when the car is submerged to free drivers.
"It's totaled," Thomas said with a shrug. "You would have needed a boat last night."
Most major tunnels and bridges in New York were closed, as were schools, Broadway theaters and the metropolitan area's three main airports, LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark.
"This will be one for the record books," said John Miksad, senior vice president for electric operations at Consolidated Edison, which had more than 670,000 customers without power in and around New York City.
Around midday, Sandy was about 120 miles east of Pittsburgh, pushing westward with winds of 45 mph, and was expected to make a turn into New York State on Tuesday night. Although weakening as it goes, the storm will continue to bring heavy rain and flooding, said Daniel Brown of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
In a measure of the storm's immense size and power, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet. High winds spinning off Sandy's edges clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, cutting power to hundreds of thousands, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.
In Portland, Maine, gusts topping 60 mph scared away several cruise ships and prompted officials to close the port.
Sandy also brought blizzard

BACKGROUND: Good basketball players develop their skills through endless repetition, hard-wiring the brain with the correct sequence of muscle movements for optimal play ('kinesthetic memory'). However, knowing a little basic physics can still help you improve your game. You can learn why you should put a spin on the ball, get tips on improving your free throws, and discover the secret to Michael Jordan's seemingly longer 'hang time.'
PUTTING A SPIN ON IT: Once the basketball leaves the shooter's hand, it travels in an unchanging parabolic path that can be calculated using Newton's laws of motion. But putting a backspin on the ball can help you make more free throws. When a spinning ball bounces, it bounces back in the direction of the spin. If the ball hits the backboard or back of the rim, it will be directed toward into the basket. That's because when the ball makes contact with the rim or backboard, the backspin causes a change in velocity opposite to the spin direction, making it more likely that the ball will drop into the net softly.
BOUNCE, BOUNCE: Hold a ball in the air above the floor and it has potential energy. Dropping the ball converts it into kinetic energy. When the ball hits the floor, the kinetic energy is stored as elastic potential energy, in response to which both the ball and the floor will deform, or dent, slightly, even if this isn't obvious to the naked eye. Air stores and returns energy more efficiently than the material from which the basketball is made. So the more air pressure inside a basketball, the less its surface will bend or deform during a bounce, and the more its original energy will be stored in the compressed air inside -- ergo, the ball bounces higher the more air it has inside it. If the ball is under-inflated, some of its energy is wasted in deforming the ball as it bounces, and the ball won't rebound very high.
HANG TIME: Michael Jordan earned the nickname 'Air Jordan' because of his seemingly longer 'hang time' making jump shots in games, but this is an illusion. How high someone can jump depends on the force used to push on the floor when starting to jump, which in turn depends on the strength and power of the jumper's leg muscles. The harder and more powerful the jump, the higher and longer the flight. In order to leap four feet into the air, the hang time would be 1.0 seconds. Jordan had a few tricks up his sleeve to make that hang time seem longer. When he dunked, he held onto the ball a bit longer than most players, and actually placed it in the basket on the way down. He also pulled his legs up as the jump progressed so it appeared that he was jumping higher. But it still all happened in less than one second.

Are mass arrests THAT common in New Jersey?
The cost of derelicts in society keeps going up.I´m surprised it´s a not a meals on wheels wagon when no crime is in progress.
They paid $130,000 for a sixteen foot trailer? Somebody got well on this deal, and it wasn´t the taxpayers.
New development in the plan to stop a citizen insurrection against an overbearing, tyrannical government. Expect more methods for getting lots of cops/national guard/army where there are "too many" armed or potentially armed citizens.
Also, notice there are no guns in New Jersey, yet they can´t control crime.
Yeah, good for rounding up those TEA party folks, eh? It creeps me out how we are turning more and more into a totalitarian tyranny. This is not the United States of America anymore... Now they are getting ready instate peacetime Martial Law...filling up FEMA camps...black boxes in cars...no gathering at the Capitol...NDAA...vans that drive around and can see into your homes...drones watching everything you do....etc
They´re going to need a bigger Trailer.
#1: my question exactly. What the heck?
I live in NJ. "Parades,demonstrations, shopping frenzies, college parties"? Sorry, that just doesn´t compute. What is the GOVT. planning for?
A 2013 GMC Savanna configured for 15 passengers can be had for around $40,000. It would carry more cops and be more flexible but I guess that´s too smart when you have a Homeland Security grant burning a hole in your pocket.
I´m old enough to remember when New York City had paddy wagons. They did the job, and they were pretty cheap box trucks.
During the 60´s, cops used to use city and campus buses to hold prisoners.What´s wrong with self propelled?

Tijuana & Baja
A lower drinking age, and a greater tolerance for pleasures of the flesh south of the border, long ago made Tijuana a magnet for those from the north. Young military men in particular, but other Americans of all ages and orientations have been coming in droves, especially since the days of Prohibition in the US.
Many Americans come here to shop and Tijuana has no shortage of retail establishments from sidewalk entrepreneurs to the big shopping malls. Plaza Río is the largest of the lot, just a few minutes from the border between Paseo de los Heroes and the Tijuana River. Other malls are at Plaza Monarca, Plaza Carrousel, Centro Comercial Playas/Plaza Coronado, and the Galerias Hipodromo.
Parque Guerrero, at Tercera and Cinco de Mayo, often has local art, blankets, jewelry and such for sale among the park benches. It's easy to find a partner for chess hereabouts - and sometimes partners for other games too, if you're courteous (and careful).
Crossing this border one cannot avoid the stark reality of the wall, or political complexities and passions behind it's existence. La Casa del Túnel: Art Center is both a consequence, and a response to the wall. Built by a locally renowned renaissance man in the 50's, the house later became famous for the tunnel, dug under the US border from here; discovered and shut down in 2004. It is now an international center for the arts, soon to have gallery and presentation spaces for art, music and spoken word, and international artist-in-residency programs for visiting artists, writers and other creative people. A rooftop border observation deck and cafe, and surrounding gardens are anticipated. Walking from the US side, look for the building with the words "El arte tumbara este muro."
The Baja peninsular is also a destination for surfers and extreme sports enthusiasts. Tijuana is the gateway to areas to the south that have many opportunities for fishing, diving or just getting away from it all.
Getting Here
No need to drive here from San Diego, American can park on their side, then walk across the border for a wild and all-night Mexican party. The San Diego Trolly also goes all the way to the San Ysidro Transit Center at the border. From here you can walk across. Within the border zone there is no Mexican visa requirement - only if you go further south (then a simple procedure). Americans are supposed to need a passport to get back into the States -- see Across the Border for the latest on that subject.
If you do drive, check with your insurance company first. For those flyng into the city, Tijuana Airport is a modern facility with connections to all parts of Mexico. There are also direct shuttle buses (that take priority bus lanes) between here and downtown San Diego for about $15.
Going solo too intimidating? Get help from Turista Libre (Free Tourist) for an atypical day tour of Tijuana with an American expat living here. The caravan trounces around the city in search of the overlooked and underrated - sidestepping stereotypes, and tourist traps. Each tour has a different theme, with lots to see -- Tijuana is second only to LA in size, among West Coast cities.
Getting Around
Once in Mexico taxis are easy to find, and inexpensive for getting around town, but agree the price upfront and travel with companions when possible.
Media & Resources

Bars & clubs Tijuana
Extasis/ Fusion (Calle Larroque 213) an easy few minutes walk from the border gate, is open Wednesdays, and Fridays through Sundays, late into the night. With dancing, naked strippers, and sexual dark rooms, this is the club most visited by, and best known to Americans. They combined recently with the club next door to add drag shows to the mix in a larger complex.
The heart of gay Tijuana is still to be found going south from the border into Zona Centro, where you can't miss Friendship Arch on Avenida Revolucion, from which you can take your bearings.
Just before the Arch, on the right walking south on Revolucion, Premier (Av Revolucion) is a male stripper bar with a mixed but increasingly gay crowd.
To the west of the Arch, Taurino (corner Constiticion & Art. 123) is the oldest gay bar in town with dance floor, pool table and a mostly locals crowd. Four gay bars sit alongside Plaza Santa Cecilia on Santiago Arguello, off Revolucion just south of the Arch.
El Ranchero (Plaza Santa Cecilia 769, on Arguello off Revolucion) is on two levels, popular with a good mix of both locals and Americans, where those of many ages and varied means hook up. It's "where languages and cultural differences are forgotten" as they say.
Villa Garcia (Plaza Santa Cecilia 751, on Arguella off Revolucion), next door, is a similar but smaller, edgier bar, drag-friendly, with shows.
DF (Plaza Santa Cecilia 1910) bar is frequented by older locals and young hustler machos.
At Hawaii (Plaza Santa Cecilia 768, Arguello near El Ranchero) male stripper shows are their specialty, and they have drag shows too. Dance all night and come by anytime -they're open 24 hours, 365 days a year. There's never a cover here and they have private rooms too.
Continue walking and turn right on Madero for Zky Blue (Ave Francisco Madero 735), a dance club set back from the street behind the parking lot. They get a varied mix of older and younger guys, local and from the US, and a popular long and spacious dark room.
Boy's Bar (Avenida Madero 158), the former Boby's is a men's cruise bar, popular with bears, cowboys, and with nude male strip shows.
South of the Arch find two gay bars on Revolucion just before Benito Juarez (also called Segunda, or 2nd), with less male sex focus, that include women, couples and straight friends among their patrons. The most popular of these, Cameleon/ Colibri (Calle 2/Calle Segundo, enter from Revolucion), is roomy, relaxed and friendly and they have shows. Right by that club is Club 41, an upscale video bar with a small stage/ dance floor and live DJs. Across the street Club 45 is a straight strip bar with drag shows for a mixed crowd.
Further down Revolucion, between 6th and 7th, Mike's (Revolucion 1220) is one of the oldest gay bars in Tijuana, gayest in later hours, with strip shows that are popular with straight women, and drag shows after midnight and into the wee hours. Los Equipales (Galeana 8236 at Mutualismo -aka 7th) across from the Jai Alai fronton, has weekend drag shows and dancing after 2am.
Yadiras on Madero, between 7th & 8th is a mostly women crowd cantina - open from 10am. At the bottom end of the downtown gay neighborhood, D'Luna Cafe (8th #8380, between Madero & Negrete) is an afternoon and evening gathering spot for a diverse coss-section of the rainbow tribe.
XS Nights Tijuana at Vivo Club (Paseo de los Heroes 10958) is a new dance club at the corner of Mision de Mulege.
With all the sex and partying it's hard to remember that drugs, even soft ones like Marijuana, though prevalent, are just as illegal in Mexico as up north. Attracting official attention can do more than ruin an evening, so follow the example of the locals, and avoid trouble.
There are several decent and inexpensive hotel options in the area of Tijuana's gay nightlife. On Avenida Madero near Bobi's and Zky bars are the Economico, the San Nicolas, and the San Diego hotels. Motel Diaz is on Revolucion, just north of the Arch. Hotel America is on 4th between Negrete & Ocampo, and Hotel Caesar's at Revolucion 1079, at Zapata. Reviews of these and others - plus advice on places to avoid - can be found at BajaAdvisor.com.
Saunas Tijuana
A half dozen bathhouses dot the local landscrape, most not entirely gay, and a lot less fancy than most such facilities in the US or Canada. Men who enjoyed the good old days cruising "straight" guys can rise to the challenge at most any of them. Follow your instincts, be discreet enough to avoid embarrassing anyone, and many are the pleasures to be enjoyed among Mexican men without women about.
That said, Americans will feel most at home at two of these. Banos Vica (Blvd Gustavo Díaz Ordaz 1535), to the south of the center near Mercado de Todos, is clean but not over-spiffy, with a piping hot steamroom. Sunday afternoons are especially busy, but any day could be lucky as fewer people around can make guys less cautious. Banos La Toalla (Av Pinos Suarez 11665) is the only openly gay bath, clean and well-lighted, with busy afternoons and Sundays. Check out their website in our listings. Opening times here differ from what's typical up north, from 7am to 9pm for Vica, and 9am to 10pm for La Toalla. For another 8 gay saunas see the Baja Advisor gay map.
The annual Tijuana Pride festivities take place third Saturdays of June, with a parade beginning on Second Street near Avenida de los Ninos at 5pm, ending at Plaza Santa Cecilia. Lots of events follow at the bars. BajaAdvisor.com has all the details, and photos of this past year's celebrations.
More in Baja California
To the east, bordering Calexico California, Mexicali has a long and interesting history of many immigrants. By far the most dynamic center for some miles on either side of the border, this city has several gay night clubs.
The largest of these, Disco Mirage (Avenida Lerdo 430; Discomiragemexicali.com) is open Wednesday through Sunday in the central zone with karaoke, weekend dancing and go-go dancers, plus Saturday and Sunday night drag shows. Also at the center are Sugar's Place (Altamariano 480), a drag show venue; and Pride Antro (Lopez Mateos 1655; Myspace.com/prideantro) dance club. A branch store of the nation-wide chain Erotika Sex Shop (Blvd. Lazaro Cardenas 1731, #54F; Erotikasexshop.com) in the Villafontana Commercial Center, has adult entertainment and accesories, both straight and gay.
More "baja" in Baja, about 70 miles south of Tijuana, this is is an important commercial and fishing port, and cruise ship port of call. It sits in sits at the heart of what's regarded as the best wine country in Mexico, and has several surfing beaches popular with Americans. Windsurfing, yachting and whale-watching are other sporting and tourist attractions, as is the Carnaval de Ensenada which takes place before Lent.
There are several gay nightspots here. Disco Bar Iguanas (Costera 265; Iguanas-bar.com) has a mix of men and women, karaoke on Thursdays and strip and drag shows and dancing on weekends. The Sublime Club (First Street at Alvarado, 3rd fl; Clubsublime.com) is a gay video lounge showing everything from the Oscar Awards to boxing matches and soccer games, as well as music videos. They also have male fashion shows among their many ongoing events. The Poker Face Sports Bar (Blvd Costero 263) is open every night until 3am with drag shows and male strippers.
La Paz & Cabo, Baja California Sur
La Paz is the capital city of Baja California Sur and an important regional commercial center on the Sea of Cortez side, far down the peninsula. A comfortable place to stay here is the Hotel Mediterrane in La Paz (Hotelmed.com), an intimate Inn near the shore, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the Malecon and waterfront promenade. Their restaurant fare is influenced by Swiss, Italian, French and Thai cuisines. Undersea Expeditions is planning a gay diving trip to this area that will coincide with Day of the Dead. From October 30 to November 6, 2010 they offer 5 days of diving and 7 nights at La Concha Beach Club (Laconcha.com).
Cabo, at the southern tip of the peninsula, is known for pristine white sandy beaches, diving locations, and the sea arch El Arco de Cabo San Lucas. The area has become a high-end vacation destination with resorts and timeshare condos on the coastal corridor between San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
The website GayInCabo has details on Cabo Gay Pride celebrations that took place his past June 19th. The site isn't looking as well maintained since the end of July, but the personals section is still alive. They also list Scoop Hotel & Supper Club (Leona Vicario Street) as a center for gay life here, open for drinks Fridays and Saturdays, with go-go boys and special events on Saturdays, late into the night. Well maybe -- but as tourist season kicks in things will pick up either way.
For a general guide to the whole south region see the website Bajatravel.com

Northwestern Alaska Career and Technical Center
The Northwestern Alaska Career and Technical Center (NACTEC) installed a wind turbine on their campus in October 2011. NACTEC is a joint-venture regional vocational center located in Nome that provides Bering Straits School District and Nome Public Schools high school students career and technical skills. One of the most recent programs developed for NACTEC students is the Renewable Energy program. In a hands-on environment, students learn about AC/DC currents, how to install photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, and how to research different renewable energy options. It was through this program that the NACTEC students helped construct a foundation and install a Skystream wind turbine as part of the Wind for Schools program.
In September 2011, eight students from the Bering Straits region worked alongside construction workers to constuct the foundation. They learned to pour concrete, install rebar and achors, and bury wires. Then, in October, a group of students came together to assist in the installation of a 45' tower and Systream turbine. This project provided students with the hands-on learning that both NACTEC and Wind for Schools strive for. Well done, NACTEC students!!!
Project Sponsors
- Bering Straits Native Corporation: turbine purchase and installation
- Berring Straits Development Company: workers for job shadowing and hands-on job experience
- Alaska Consturction Academies: support for NACTEC training programs

Manchester hit-and-run suspect to face charges
Court documents report the other driver, a 49-year-old woman, sustained several injuries in the crash. The damage estimate for her vehicle was about $10,000.
Kurland is also accused of trying to conceal evidence by arranging for the swift repair of his vehicle. The court documents show investigators learned the vehicle was towed to a repair shop a couple of days after the crash. The service manager said Kurland told him he had dropped a cigarette, which caused him to hit a tree. His damage estimate was just under $1,200. A probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for July 24. Kurland is free on $5,000 personal recognizance bail.
Julia Rogowicz, 30, of 72 Rimmon St., pleaded innocent Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two misdemeanor charges of simple assault that allege she pushed her ex-boyfriend, David Covel, against a wall Saturday and grabbed him with one hand and punched him in the head with the other hand.
Covel, 38, of 536 Dix St., was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court in connection with Saturday's incident. He pleaded innocent to a criminal mischief charge that alleges he punched a hole in the drywall at Rogowicz' Rimmon Street residence.
Trials for both are set for Sept. 4.
Online pawn record system was key
Bail conditions on charges of criminal threatening, assault and mischief bar Jared Fellows, 27, from returning to his 174 Laurel St. residence.
Fellows was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, accused of pushing one family member into a glass cabinet, which broke and caused cuts; threatening to kill another family member, making a slicing motion across his throat; and threatening to kill a female relative and her baby.
Fellows objected to being barred from the Laurel Street address, saying his mother is ill and he helps her. Judge William Lyons declined to change that condition of Fellows' bail, which also bars him from contact with the three alleged victims and their residences.

You'll notice that the forums have had a bit of a rejig today. If you have any feedback please post in this thread.
I've tried to make two themed areas for graphics and web, to hopefully create a clear distinction between the two key interest areas.
There was a similar approach before I came back late last year, so you may have a bit of déjà vu.
But I think by bringing in complementary forums such as the galleries - and using the category names to really mark the distinction - I think this way is a bit more prominent.

Enjoy summer's bounty but don't neglect food safety
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.

Are you buying more produce at farmers markets and road-side stands? That's great, but don't assume that produce is safe from contamination or that you are safe from foodborne illness. Bacteria are present no matter where vegetables and fruits are grown and sold.
It's also important to remember that some people are at greater risk for serious illness or even death if they get foodborne illness. Those at greater risk are infants, young children, pregnant women and their unborn babies, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems (such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and transplant patients).
To keep you and your family safe, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends the following tips for cleaning and handling produce:
- Choose vegetables and fruits that are intact. Avoid items that are punctured, split and bruised. Bacteria can enter through these blemishes and infect the food.
- Wash your hands before handling produce. Use warm water and soap. Scrub hands and nails for 20 seconds.
- Wash the produce by holding it under running water. Gently rub or use a clean vegetable brush (for firm produce). According to the FDA, there's no need for soap or special washes for produce. Dry the produce with paper towels.
- If you're going to peel a fruit or vegetable, peel after washing and make sure your hands and knives are clean. And, if you're serving the produce raw, make sure you chop and prepare it on a clean cutting board or countertop to avoid re-contaminating it.
Here's to safely increasing your intake of vegetables and fruits.
- Jennifer

A time to give thanks – no joke
There is no good way to get the news that your daughter has died. But looking back, I have to say I learned about Lanie's accident in the best possible way. I went to bed that Sunday evening around 10 p.m., and after trying unsuccessfully for an hour to drop off, I moved to the sunroom sofa to read. Although I can usually attribute trouble sleeping to late-afternoon caffeine, I was puzzled because I'd had none. At 1:30 a.m. – still sleepless – I heard my oldest daughter, Leah, pull into the driveway. She told me there was an emergency and she and her boyfriend needed to come in. After leading me to the kitchen, Leah hugged me and broke down crying, delivering the news between sobs. Of course, there would be no sleep the rest of that night or day. Looking back, I am convinced that deep down I must have felt Lanie's death at 10:15 p.m. – that I somehow sensed our physical connection, at least, had been severed. It wasn't until much later that I was able to appreciate how lucky I was to hear this news from Lanie's sister, and to have it delivered with a loving embrace. Many parents get this kind of horrendous news in a phone call, or from strangers. Three months later, I am dreading the approach of the holidays – the worst time of year for anyone who has lost a loved one. And since Lanie was our "Christmas freak" (doesn't every family have one?) and loved everything about the holiday, her absence will be felt extra hard. Thanksgiving – the event that one newly-bereaved parent called "a joke of a holiday" – will be equally difficult, considering that Lanie and I spent last Thanksgiving together for five wonderful days, visiting her sister Jackie in New York City and touring some of Lanie's favorite "foodie" destinations. Just the same, I am trying mightily to catalogue things we can be thankful for during this, our first holiday season without Lanie. And even as we flounder about in the emotional wreckage left by her death, I have to say there is no lack of goodness to be found. As Leah pointed out early in the week after Lanie's death, the accident could have been so much worse. Lanie could have lingered on life support for weeks, leaving us to make wrenching decisions. And we all know Lanie would hate that. Instead, as far as we know, Lanie's death was mercifully quick. She never saw it coming, and she didn't suffer. For that, we can be grateful. Within hours of Lanie's death, friends, family members, members of the community, and even complete strangers came forward to embrace and support us. Our neighbors brought coffee and breakfast for my visiting brothers and their families, and housed them when space got tight. Another as-yet-unidentified neighbor mowed my lawn. The bicycling community surrounded us with care and concern, placing a "ghost bike" near the scene of Lanie's accident and organizing a memorial moonlight bike ride to celebrate her life. Pescados on Oregon Hill provided water and sports drinks for the cyclists. The staff of Osaka Sushi and Steak (Lanie's workplace) not only posted a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the then-unknown driver who hit her, but also collected a substantial sum for charity in her name. Maggie L. Walker Governor's School, Lanie's alma mater, provided its 500-seat auditorium for the memorial service – which overflowed nevertheless. Lanie's sisters worked with her basketball teammates, some talented musicians, and my friend Jim Cavanaugh to coordinate a service so beautiful that more than one person left it feeling cheated that they had not known Lanie. My co-workers Tom Lappas and Diann Ducharme wrote beautiful tributes to Lanie. Tom and others saw to it that I got plenty of my favorite form of therapy, attending almost every Flying Squirrels game in August and getting to shag flies at two VIP batting practices. My friend Jean Masters did the legwork for me when I couldn't handle tasks such as pricing cemetery plots or getting stationery printed for thank-you notes. Brandon Bruce of Groovin Gourmets donated and delivered a meal for eight, salvaging a family birthday party that fell at a time we did not feel like celebrating. Maureen Egan of Real Richmond has promised a food tour in Lanie's honor for her March birthday, and Capt. Mike Ostrander of Discover the James has promised to name the first eagle fledgling after Lanie in June. Friends and neighbors have taken pains to write at the one- and two-month mark, knowing that sometimes grief hits hardest after everyone else goes back to their routines. Friends old and new still send messages at random times telling me they are thinking of me and that they are ready with a listening ear if I need one. A JMU student I have never met recently wrote to say that the campaign to improve cyclist safety has reached all the way to Harrisonburg – and to suggest that Lanie's death may have already saved other lives. The list of kindnesses goes on, and on, and on. In no way do I mean to downplay the pain and devastation this tragedy has wrought upon our family, or to deny that there are times I despair of surviving another day in the void Lanie left – or another night of accident images playing non-stop through my head. Her death can never be regarded as anything other than a horrible waste of a life, and any good that may result can only make it slightly less of a waste. But I have been in this crazy cycle of grief long enough to know now that my worst nights are invariably followed by better days, new encounters, new kindnesses and new blessings. Like any parent, I would have given anything for the choice to take Lanie's place on that bike, and to allow her to live her life to its natural end. I didn't get that choice. But there are other equally unchosen paths that I would have taken right to the place I am now. If someone had asked me long ago whether I would choose to be Lanie's mom – knowing she would only live 24 years, and that I would have to go through this terrible, wrenching pain – my answer would be, "Hell, yes." And if I'd been given the choice to have Lanie for 24 years, or to have someone else for a lifetime, I would have chosen Lanie in a heartbeat. And for the gift of those years, I can't help but be thankful. |

Bushnell Range Finders, Leupold Rangefinders, Nikon Range Finders and all other major brands of range finders are on sale at OpticsPlanet! We have laser range finders designed for hundreds of different applications requiring measurement of distance and other values such as speed, slope and angle. We have a huge stock of golf range finders, hunting range finders, industrial, and military rangefinders ready to take the guesswork out of measuring distances. Take a look at all our range-finder categories above to find the devices that are the best fit for your application.
A laser range-finder, or LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), is a device which uses a laser beam in order to determine with incredible accuracy the distance to an opaque object. Similar to a police radar gun, a laser range finder works by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and then measuring how long it takes for the pulse to bounce off the target and return to the sender. Take your best shot with confidence when you use a digital range finder - our laser range finders measure line-of-sight distance using eye-safe lasers and precision electronics. We now even offer range finder rifle scopes! Distance is displayed in the magnified monocular and gives the hunter or golfer with a true view of the field or course. Want to know more about rangefinders? Please read our Rangefinder Buyer's Guide. Be sure to read our rangefinder reviews, and check our rangefinder forum!
Many other top brand name range finder manufacturers offer range finders for hunting and golf. There are also laser rangefinder vendors that product specialized industrial / construction rangefinders. Our range finding devices are offered at deeply discounted wholesale prices! Bow hunters and archers love our Opti-Logic inclinometers that allow measuring of distance and angle. Also check out our rangefinders with a computer data communication port (wired RS232 serial or wireless Bluetooth) that makes it easy to download measured data to your laptop or desktop computer!
Most range-finders offered by Optics Planet are waterproof or water / weather resistant - rugged and strong to be taken on a hunt or hike. Laser Tech rangefinders have the capability of inclination measurement, and these LTI laser rangefinders are compact, light-weight and great for forestry management, professional mapping, mining/explosives engineering and utilities. The ability to be tripod mountable offers the opportunity for more accurate measured results. The range provided by rangefinders offered by OpticsPlanet starts at a minimum of 1 yard and goes up to a maximum of 2400 yds, and most of our advanced rangefinders allow switching between yards, feet, and meters. We even offer binocular-rangefinder combinations that combine a laser rangefinder and high quality binoculars in one device!
All of our rangefinders come with a full manufacturer's warranty and all factory included range finder accessories!

trailer brake questionhi guys, i'm checking my electric brakes and was wondering if you are supposed to put a thin layer of grease on the magnet?
Re: trailer brake questionRob, I just did some work on my trailer brakes just before I left for the Tug and while doing a little research I found this;
"Part of the surface of electric brake magnets, contains a friction material, similiar to the brake shoes. Once they have absorbed oil or grease, they are done". So I would say the answer to your question is not to put any grease on the magnets. The grease may keep your magnets from actuating when you need them. Sea salt is healthier only because it gets stuck in the holes of the shaker and you can't actually put it on your food.

Re: trailer brake questionthanks, i'm glad i asked.
Re: trailer brake questionI work with brakes on big rigs and some smaller one all day. The worst part about getting grease or oil on the brakes is that it reduces the flash point of heat needed for the brake to catch on fire. A normal brake shouild stand almost 1000* before it burns, and oil or grease soaked one takes it down to 350*. You cant just clean them up in part cleaner either, as once it on the brakes it becomes part of them, and makes them worhtless in stoping power. Rust and oil/grease are the two biggest problems with el brakes, and as time goes on the magnets will get weeker due to the heat they go though as a natural part of braking.
