I don't know about castle sets but the boxes of my larger pirate sets all have stories that explain the history of the particular set.
LEGOLAND castle sets had brief descriptions in the catalogs but not on boxes. Boxes usually said something about making alternate sets, using your own creativity, etc.
As a child, you knew some storylines by just seeing the catalog pictures. Forestmen invading in large quantities, etc. I dislike the heavily tailored storyline but kids seem to like it. Lego just recently announced that there will be Knight's Kingdom books in spring 05. This isnt such a bad idea in my opinion since reading is good.
As an administrative note: This topic should not be used for 80's storyline speculation. Those types of posts belong in the stories forum.

The world market for PMA Parts is projected to reach $749 Million by the year 2017, according to a recently-released report from the research firm Global Industry Analysts. Growth will be primarily driven by robust gains in South East Asia, Eastern Europe and South America and by expanding Parts Manufacturer Approval and certification for a broad range of parts/components encompassing virtually every aircraft platform covered in almost every ATA chapter, ranging from engine parts, rotating airfoils, nuts/bolts, combustors and fuel pumps to interior parts.
As a combined design and production approval for parts and components in the aircraft aftermarket, the number of applications for obtaining PMA from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is steadily on the rise. Given the lucrative opportunities in the aircraft aftermarket and the growing competitiveness and emphasis on quality, components manufacturers are increasingly seeking the coveted airworthiness certification from FAA for safety and quality assurance. Growing awareness over the reliability, quality, durability and cost benefits offered by PMA parts is leading to increased acceptance of PMA parts worldwide, which in turn in generating opportunities for the international community to produce high quality, safe PMA parts. Against this backdrop, there continues to be a steady increase in the number of FAA-approved Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) firms in Asia. Also, increased outsourcing of MRO operations to Asia Pacific, as a result of rising economic and competitive pressures in developed nations and low cost labor in Asian countries, is helping drive the dynamics of the PMA parts market in the region.
Growth in the PMA approved parts market, in the upcoming years, will be driven by rising average life of aircraft and the ensuing opportunities in the aftermarket created by maintenance needs. PMA engine parts in the MRO sector are poised to record the maximum gains, given that engine maintenance is evolving into a major business worldwide with spending on engine maintenance accounting for over 40% of total annual MRO spends. The increase in the number of operational aircraft and in the average flying hours per aircraft and the ensuing rise in engine utilization will continue to generate opportunities for aircraft engine MRO with engine overhaul activities trickling down as potential sales opportunities for PMA parts. Demand for PMA parts will also increase in sync with the growing focus of airline companies on cost efficiencies. PMA parts, in this regard, are cheaper than OEM products as PMA provides better economies of scale than original manufacturing. PMA brings about substantial savings in material costs, and these savings lower the prices of PMA products for consumers and increase the profit margins for airline operators. The future will continue to witness an explosion in the number and types of PMA parts available to the consumer. With the sophistication in new generation aircraft models, comes complexly designed components, which require PMA parts to be equally scalable and reliable. Innovation in new technologies in manufacture of PMA parts will help benefit the PMA market, as managing and understanding sophisticated mechatronic systems becomes easier.
As stated by the new market research report on PMA Parts, Airframe PMA Parts represents one of the fastest growing segments trailing a projected CAGR of 9.6% over the analysis period 2009 through 2017.

Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa, center, and board members at a policy meeting in Tokyo on Tuesday. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
TOKYO—Under strong pressure from Japan's new government, the country's central bank promised Tuesday to enact an ambitious program of further monetary easing and raise its inflation target in a bid to rid the economy of its long-running deflationary pressures.
Asian markets ended mixed after Japan's central bank announced measures aimed at ending decades of deflation. The WSJ's Jake Lee tells us why the market isn't yet convinced the country's staggering economy can be turned around.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had lately staged a vocal campaign to urge the Bank of Japan to step up efforts to defeat persistent price falls. Mr. Abe and other government ministers praised Tuesday's action from the BOJ.
"It is a bold review of monetary policy, an epoch-making document," Mr. Abe told reporters. "One can say that it marks a 'regime change' in managing macroeconomic policy."
In addition to the 2% inflation target, the BOJ will pursue "open-ended" monetary easing, pledging to carry on with purchases of financial assets and a virtual zero interest rate policy as long as it is deemed necessary to achieve its price target. Previously, its asset purchases were due to finish at the end of this year with a budget of ¥101 trillion. The BOJ expects the new program will likely mean an increase of ¥10 trillion for 2014.
Private sector analysts were divided as they began to parse the bank's actions.
Some noted that the extra buying wouldn't come until 2014, during which time there are due to be large-scale redemptions of outstanding Japanese government bonds, blunting the impact of extra buying.
"Perhaps the BOJ wanted to impress, but the effects won't be as large as the name (open ended) implies." said Hideo Kumano, chief economist at Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute.

More quote details and news » was somewhat more positive, viewing it as "the maximum action the BOJ could take within its limited moving space, given that the new governor will replace the current governor Shirakawa soon in April."
Mr. Abe is expected to be able to greater sway over the BOJ after current Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa steps down in early April. Both deputy governors on the policy board will also retire in March.
The decision Tuesday on the 2% inflation target wasn't unanimous; two of the board's nine members, Takehiro Sato and Takahide Kiuchi, voted against it. Sato and Kiuchi are considered among the most dovish on the policy board.
"The Bank will pursue monetary easing and aim to achieve this target at the earliest possible time," the central bank said in a statement. Still, it warned, "it will take considerable time before the effects of monetary policy permeate the economy."
It was the first time in nearly a decade that the BOJ took easing measures at two consecutive board meetings.
Mr. Abe, who took office last month on a platform that prioritized ending deflation, had been pushing the BOJ to agree to a binding target. Markets had expected the central bank to accept Mr. Abe's demands, with the yen weakening to 2½-year lows against the dollar, which helped push up Tokyo shares.
Markets initially cheered the news; the yen fell and stocks rose. That pushed the dollar above the key level of ¥90. But the moves were short-lived, as markets took profits after betting heavily on the BOJ's commitment. The Nikkei Stock Average closed Tuesday down a marginal 0.4%, while the dollar fell against the yen in later afternoon trading.
Separate forecasts released by the central bank show the hurdles it still faces. It expects the consumer price index to rise just 0.9% in the fiscal year starting in 2014.
As widely expected, the BOJ left its policy rate, or the unsecured overnight call loan rate, unchanged in a 0.0%-0.1% range.

For visitors with shopping at the top of their agenda in Seoul and beyond, it may be hard to keep up; Korean fashion is furiously fast and fickle.
But from Seoul's distinctive street style (loud statement pieces are the calling cards) to runway chic, these top 10 South Korean fashion brands are defining some of Asia's trendiest looks.
For the moment anyway.
1. 8seconds
"Spain has Zara, Korea has 8seconds," says "InStyle Korea" fashion editor Sujin Yang.
Launched in February in 2012 by Samsung subsidiary Cheil Industries as a domestic competitor to foreign fashion brands such as UNIQLO, 8seconds' heavy marketing paid off with ?60 billion ($54 million) in sales in 2012.
The brand's goal for 2013 is ?150 billion ($134 million) in sales. It hopes to bring its success abroad with international stores open by 2014.
The name is supposed to signify the length of time that we perceive as the "now," according to the brand's somewhat convoluted mission statement.
With colorful and creative displays, the stores are some of the most fun to visit in Korea.
A signature 8seconds look combines neon tribal print leggings, Space Age-silver bomber jacket and retro polka dot blouse, all at extremely low prices, in the Forever 21 range.
8seconds Garosugil flagship store: 535-12 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul; +82 70 7090 1144
Myeong-dong branch, 50-1 Myeongdong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul; +82 70 7090 2272
2. Lucky Chouette
Lucky Chouette is the variegated, street-inspired and accessible line by Kim Jae-hyun, who was chosen to be part of Seoul's 10 Soul -- a fashion project launched by the Seoul government to promote upcoming Korean designers.
"Kim Jae-hyun is already a familiar figure in the fashion world through her Jardin de Chouette line," says Yang, adding that Kim's atelier is always crowded with Korean celebrities.
Silhouettes tend to be chunky and casual -- skirts are short and flared, blouses are oversized.
Prints play a big part in the Lucky Chouette design, as does the owl, which is supposed to symbolize luck.
Lucky Chouette Cheongdam store, 21-15 Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul; +82 2 3444 1002
Lotte branch, 2/F Lotte Department Store, 1 Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul; +82 2 772 3211
3. Steve J. & Yoni P.
Having debuted their first collection at London Fashion Week in 2007, this duo's designs can be found at foreign high-fashion retailers such as Opening Ceremony.
In Korea, the initial wave of popularity that greeted them is as strong as ever.
The clothes are wearable, but with an unexpected kick in the details.
The brand's flagship store in Hannam-dong this season is a playground of summery dresses with floral prints, fancifully re-imagined stripes and paisley.
Steve J & Yoni P, 685-12, Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul; +82 2 543 4766

A little bit spartan service conditions, but nothing critical. Excellent location and very convenient transport connection with the airport. It took me 30 minutes from leaving the hotel to check in at the airport. The only issue you need to consider/accept is accustic. You practically hear everything what's going on on the nearby room... If you know what I mean by that.

They call themselves a 'hotel' but frankly it is nothing better than a hostel. Everything looks small and shabby. The appearance of this place from inside from was very disappointing. Not just this, during my stay I got very badly bitten by bed bugs which were on the mattress and I didn't even get any compensation for this! It was their responsibility to check that all the mattresses are clean, before handing out the room to a new customer.

I remember during the campaign suffering through another dry, frustrating Chuck Todd interview, when Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter, Peggy Noonan was caught on tape talking sideways about John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate. How did she put it? Ahh yes, I believe she said - "It's over" . Peggy has even more to say now...
"In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her positions, and sometimes in knowing them. She couldn't say what she read because she didn't read anything. She was utterly unconcerned by all this and seemed in fact rather proud of it: It was evidence of her authenticity. She experienced criticism as both partisan and cruel because she could see no truth in any of it. She wasn't thoughtful enough to know she wasn't thoughtful enough. Her presentation up to the end has been scattered, illogical, manipulative and self-referential to the point of self-reverence. "I'm not wired that way," "I'm not a quitter," "I'm standing up for our values." I'm, I'm, I'm.
In another age it might not have been terrible, but here and now it was actually rather horrifying."

On Christmas Eve, the West Tisbury Congregational Church will hold its annual Christmas pageant and carols service at the Agricultural Hall. The event is open to everyone and begins with a re-telling of the Christmas story. The Rev. Cathlin Baker presides over the tableau which is a cross-section of the Island community, with church school children and their friends transforming themselves for the night into sheep and shepherds, wise men, angels and Joseph and Mary.
This has been an annual event stretching back decades. Many in attendance at the Agricultural Hall who are now patriarchs and matriarchs of the community were once young angels and wise men themselves.
An old program from 1968 shows Jeffrey (Skipper) Manter 3rd played the part of Joseph while his sister Gretchen embodied Mary. Arnie Fischer, Mark and Michael Hayward personified the three kings. Jamie Alley, Percy Burt, David Douglas and Leo Hayward played shepherds. Dr. Mills presided.
Come see how time manages to both march along and stand still at this Island holiday gathering.
The evening begins at 5 p.m.

Article posted May 16, 2012 at 12:49 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 596
Super-man!, Batman!, Ironman!, Incredible Hulk!, My dad! Now they are all heros in my book. Being a hero takes courage, achievement, and awarded for his deeds. Yahoo Anwser says the definition for a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. My dad is currently in the national guard he is a recruiter and he has been sent over seas when he was younger but now he just recruits people to come in the armed forces. My dad was shipped to Kowait, Iraq, and ect.
I hope one day I end up like him because I want my kids to look up to me like I did for him. I also think my dads a hero because hes special to me. I have always thought that what if he goes over seas and gets shot. One time he was in Iraq and his apendix popped. My dad doesnt get shipped anymore because he has five kids to take care of. He works really hard and achieves alot of goals during the week and on the weekends he helps me and my little brothers race dirtbikes.
My dad goes out of his way just to make my day better. He might not be recognized more then others but he is to me. When hes at a concert hes recognized for being in the armed forces. One time my dad and my step mom went to a Rascal Flatts concert, they got free tickets to see him. While they were there they had a chance to go up on stage and meet all the band crew.
My dads a hero, is yours?
Dear Freshman!

Dear Freshman, Oh my! Freshman year is hard but fun! Some tips to make you be succesful in your freshman. You see ths blog you're reading you have to do these to pass English, pay attention to your teachers for upcoming assignments, and be organized because you never know you can loose something important to you.
The key for paying attention to your elders is you must get rest because sometimes they get kind of boring and you can easily doze off. You must be alert of any upcoming test or pop quizzes.
The key of being organized when you get a locker you want to have your stuff all in the right place just in case you are late for class. If you're not organized that can cost you your grade and not coming prepared for class. Not being organized can cost you having a referal. If you're late to class you get only one warning and three after that you get after school detention.
To conclude, the tips for being succesful in your freshman year is doing blogs for English class, paying attention to your teachers, and being organized. Hope you have a wonderful year I know I did! Sincerely, Hailey Bomboy
Romeo and Juliet/ Sing out
Article posted May 4, 2012 at 12:56 PM GMT0 • comment (3) • Reads 417
Romeo and Juliet! I love them. I'm reading a play called Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespear and we have to do a blog about lyrics that annonce the real Romeo and the real Juliet. The song that I picked that announced them "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits.
The lyrics for this song refers to Romeo and Juliet, because in one part it says "Juliet says hey its Romeo, you nearly gimme me a heart attack." I think that part resembles when Romeo goes to Juliet's place on the balcony and Romeo comes up and starts creeping on her.
The lyrics use Romeo and Juliet accuratly and how I know that because in the song it says " He's underneath my window she's singing hey la my boyfriends back." I think that quote from the song depicts Juliet thinking about Romeo and when they kissed and met at the party. Then Romeo appears at the balcony at the Capulet's house and Juliet is thinking to herself that hes finally back I missed him so much.
To conclide, the song "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits is an accurate allusion about the real play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespear.
Are you a Humanist?

A humanist would criticize the show Beyond Scared Straight
One reason why a humanist would criticize this show because the show implies that young teenagers these days are making bad choices. When their parents put them through a journey when jail officers took the young criminals through a jail and let the real criminals talk to them.
Another reason a humanist would criticize this is usually when the teenagers are done with the journey they usually knows right from wrong, but half the people that are done with the tour go back to their own habits and don't learn from anything. During the show some people learn from the problems that they cause, because they want to make a change in their lives.
For a conclusion, A humanist would criticize the show Beyond Scared Straight.

Will is Caring, Loyal, and Brave
Article posted January 20, 2012 at 01:48 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 296
Miss Transue
9 January 2012
Are you caring, loyal, and brave? In the book Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, Will is caring, loyal, and brave. Will is caring when he cried over Jim at the end, and tried to get him to revive, Will helped his dad understand about his life in the mirror maze, and when Will pulls Jim off the carousel. Will is loyal when Jim wasn't conscious, and he stood there by his side and was loyal to him, when Will talks to Mr. Dark and when Jim was hypnotized Will answered for him, and Will is also loyal when he tells his dad about the evil carnival. Will is brave when he talks to Mr. Dark, when Will saves Jim off the Carousel, and when he fights the dust witch.
Will is caring, because when Will cried over Jim and tried to revive him in the book it says "The tears burst from Wills eyes." (Bradbury 280) Will is also caring when he pulls Jim off the carousel in the book it says "The carousel whirled. Jim screamed" (Bradbury 269). Will is caring when he helped his dad understand about his life in the mirror maze in the passage it says "Oh, Dad, Dad I don't care how old you are, ever! I don't care what, I don't care anything!" (Bradbury 256). The counter point against Will caring is when Will didn't care that his dad killed the Dust Witch. I would refute about that because why would he care about the dust witch, she put a spell on him and he already wanted to kill her.
Will is loyal, because when Jim rode the carousel and Will pulled him of Jim became unconscious; Will was there the whole time by his side. In the passage it says "Oh, God, cried Will. Is he dead?" (Bradbury 269) that text example states that Will wants to know if Jim is dead and is right there by his side. Will is also loyal when he tells his dad about the Evil Carnival, in the passage it says "Jim? Will! What the hell is going on?" (Bradbury 172) that text examples states that Jim and Will told Mr. Halloway and he asked what is going on. Will is loyal when Mr. Dark asks him and Jim if they will be his assistant. Jim froze up and Will was constantly telling Jim to say no and then Jim said no. That means Will was by Jims side throughout the book. In the passage it states "You'll travel with us, Jim, and if Mr. Cooger doesn't survive, Jim how would you like to be partners? Don't listen wailed his best friend" (Bradbury 235) that text example explains Jim freezing up and his best friend being there to help him out. The counter point to show that will is not loyal is when Will kills the Dust Witch. He kills her without including his best friend. The defense against that is why would Will include Jim if he wanted the Dust Witch die anyways and he was right there at the time and Jim wasn't.
Will is brave, because when saving Jim off the carousel in the passage it states "Jim, get off!! Jim, don't leave me here!" That text example states that Will is brave and helps Jim off the carousel. Will is also brave when he talks to Mr. Dark. Mr. Dark looks like a mean person I would never talk to him but will was so brave that he talked to him. In the passage it says "I know him" (Bradbury 108) this shows that Will is brave when he talks to Will. Will is also brave when he fights the Dust Witch; it takes a lot of confidence to fight the dust witch. In the book it says "Witch, he thought louder and let his blood pound, the roof's clean, hear!?" that shows you him fighting the Dust Witch. The counter point for Will not being brave is he didn't care when his father killed the Dust Witch. The refute against that is why would care if his Dad killed her or not, she put a spell on him.
In the book I just finished Will is caring, loyal, and brave and there are three text examples behind them. Do you think you are caring, loyal, and brave? I think I am, but not brave because I'm scared of a lot of things. I would recommend this book to the people that like horror stories and understand mysteries.

November Freewrite: Hailey Bomboy
BOOM! IM GOING TO VANISH BACK TO MY YOUNGIN' DAYS! When I was young about five, I switched back and forth between school districts. The first school that I ever went to was Turnpike Elementary School. When I went to that school I thought that I would stay there until I graduated from school. Also when I was in that school I felt like everyone liked me that goes for every school when I was younger because when your younger everything was great you felt like you were unstoppable. When my mom and my step dad split I moved to Laceyville Elementary which was when the schools werent all one. When I was in that school we got to have three times to go outside for recess, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at the end of the day; first through sixth grade. After moving out of Aunt's house I moved to my other Aunt's house which put me in the district of Elk Lake. I was in forth grade when I went to Elk Lake. When I moved from my Aunt's to our own house I was still in the Elk Lake District, so that was good for me. My mom plans on me to stay in Elk Lake until I gradute. I love staying in a school and not moving because I hate moving from your friends.

Whats the best unit type to start building other then soldiers i want to take over but my soldiers always only get up to 7.5 attack as an army whats the fastest way to get Archery and Legions?
Whats the best unit type to start building other then soldiers i want to take over but my soldiers always only get up to 7.5 attack as an army whats the fastest way to get Archery and Legions?
It all depends on what type of enemy you are facing. You will want to buy archers if hes attacking you and legions if hes not and you just want to wipe him out. Create 3 legion armies and a spy early and you should be able to win. This means
Bronze working
Iron working
And you have enough techs to do this since you get a spy for free too if you research writing first. Now you want one city which has a lot of hills and forests and preferably Iron resources to make a lot of hammers. here you will build a Barracks and spam legions.
i kind of stumbled upon that method, and now i rush foward quickly to build a city in those regions to pump out legions as soon as my techs are researched.
sounds good, about how many turns will it take to research for legions?
Okay i was playing doing awesome had about legion vet armies and a ninja warrior army etc and took over Zimbabwe but i encountered at 22.5 defended Greece that i wanted to take over but they were killin me. How do i beat that just keep attacking or is there a way i can get an army that strong?
You could send a spy in to weaken their defences before you attack. That usually seems to do the trick!
or wait until you get knights(engineering)
The Greeks are strong defensively at first because they get access to pikemen from the beginning of the game.
thanks guys, one question how do i get a spy ive had one before but im not sure how i got it
you are able to build them once you research writing...they are 25 hammers to build, I believe.
Thanks thrall i noticed the greeks pikemen quite heavily there lol they were the 22.5 group and i attacked them stupidly oh well practice makes perfect im learning alot on here.
catapults are only 4 attack(same as knights)
what do you need to build catapult and knights?
*unless your reffering to the knights u can build at the start
You can't build any knights at the start...
You need Mathematics to build Catapults and Engineering for Knights.

There are plenty of medical "myths" about arthritis:
As far as we know, each of these statements is untrue. Yet all it takes is sound medical research to transform a medical myth into medical truth. Arthritis is a good example. There's much we don't know about this disease, including its causes or risk factors. But as we learn more through research, what seems like a far-fetched connection today may turn out to be an accepted risk factor tomorrow. The following risk factors for arthritis may sound like myths, but there is evidence to suggest they are true. Coffee and Rhematoid Arthritis Recent studies suggest that coffee intake may have an impact on the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). For example:
These findings are not conclusive. So, we'll need more research to better understand the impact of drinking coffee (or tea) on the risk of RA. Smoking and Rhematoid Arthritis Over the last several years, a number of studies have established a firm connection between smoking and RA:
Due to these and subsequent studies, smoking is now considered a risk factor for RA. Breastfeeding and Rheumatoid Arthritis As good as breastfeeding is for newborn babies, there may be additional benefits for new moms: a reduced risk of RA. A study in 2004 found that the longer a woman breastfed, the lower the risk of RA. Another study by different authors published in 2008 came to a similar conclusion. Researchers found that women who breastfed for 13 months or longer had half the risk of RA as women who did not breastfeed. The authors suggested that hormones stimulated by breast feeding may explain the observation. Pregnancy and Rhematoid Arthritis Women with RA often notice a marked improvement in their joint symptoms during pregnancy. Recent studies bear this out, including a 2008 nationwide study in the Netherlands. Certain medications, such as methotrexate, can harm the developing fetus so it's fortunate that RA often improves during pregnancy. It often allows women with RA to reduce or discontinue potentially harmful medicines or to change to milder medications that are safer for the baby. The connection between alcohol intake and gout has been recognized for centuries. However, only recently have other dietary connections to gout been recognized:
Disease risk and severity may be altered by factors that seem unlikely to matter. Just 20 years ago, the following statements might have been dismissed as myth because none of them were well-established or proven:
This just serves to remind us: Before discounting an idea that may sound outlandish, it's important to recognize that high-quality medical research can promote yesterday's medical myth into today's medical fact. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He has been a practicing rheumatologist for over 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is an active teacher in the Internal Medicine Residency Program, serving as the Robinson Firm Chief. He is also a teacher in the Rheumatology Fellowship Program.

Fayetteville police have arrested a suspect in a shooting involving two off-duty Cumberland County sheriff's deputies earlier this month at a Waffle House on Yadkin Road.
Donquiez Wilbridge, 24, of the 1200 block of Weeping Willow Way, was arrested Tuesday at Motel 6 on Cedar Creek Road with a handgun in his possession, according to a news release.
Wilbridge is accused of firing multiple rounds at off-duty deputies who were working at the restaurant on the 4500 block on Dec. 2 at 3:20 a.m. No one was hit, but the gunfire damaged some vehicles, Fayetteville police said.
Wilbridge has been charged with three counts apiece of possession of a firearm by a felon and assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to kill, two counts of assault on a law enforcement office with a firearm and one count of discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle, said police spokesman Gavin MacRoberts.
His bail was set at $287,000.

Outtake from Domaine Binner. Ammerschwihr, France.
Kaefferkopf Grand Cru vineyards in Alsace. From my new project Domaine Binner.
Ok, I am very happy (and relieved) to present to you a new project on my website! It is called Domaine Binner and it is about the two weeks I spent in Alsace, France at an incredibly wonderful, 200 year old, family owned winery. At some point I will write a project description but let's just consider this the soft launch. I think anything you need to know about this winery offhand, you can probably see in the photos.
When my friend Evan (a wine maker) and I started talking about this project, he expressed his displeasure with the majority of gross marketing photography that proliferates the wine world. You know the stuff, Drenched in sunlight, staged, super green. So, we went the opposite direction and went there at the end of winter when the real work starts (pruning, building a new cellar etc etc). These people care so much about what they do but they lack any semblance of pretention. They like good wine and good food but they also work their asses off and get their hands dirty every single day. It seems like a good life.
I am so thankful to the Binner family for welcoming me into their lives and feeding me incredible food and wine. I also couldn't have shot this project without my perpetually financially irresponsible friend Evan Lewandowski.He bought my plane ticket for reasons I still don't understand. I really can't tell you how good this wine is. If you are into natural/biodynamic wines, these are some of the best. Unless you live in NYC or SF though, you probably can't get any in America.
Cheers to today being over.
Lunch on the terrace, Ammerschwihr France.

B. Wine bottles in the cellar at Domaine Binner

Joseph M. Torsella represents the United States on the U.N. budget committee. He says it's a tough budget process, complicated by diplomats who show up drunk. Ambassador Torsella made, quote, "the modest proposal that the negotiating room should be inebriation-free." He says he wants this, even though sloshed negotiators have provided the U.S. with, quote, "strategic opportunities." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
Apologies for those on my Political Junkie/ScuttleButton mailing list who didn't get a notification last week about the new column and new puzzle. NPR has adjusted its e-mail server and my mass mailing from last week didn't see the light of day. I'm hoping the problem will be addressed this week.
The Mexican telecom magnate and his family are worth $73 billion. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is ranked No. 2. The list boasts 442 Americans, including the founders of Google, Facebook and Amazon.

And our last word in business is, no more working in your pajamas. Best Buy says it's ending its flexible work program, calling its corporate employees back to the office.
This is getting to be a trend. The move comes after Yahoo stirred debate for ending its work-from-home program. A Best Buy spokesperson told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the hope is that quote, "all-hands-on-deck approach will lead to collaboration."

BEDFORD, N.Y. — Three people were hospitalized Sunday, with one of them in critical condition, after a one-car accident on I-684 south in Bedford, according to the New York State Police in Somers.
Celia C. Rodriguez, 39, of Danbury, Conn. was driving a maroon Jeep in the left lane at approximately 11:13 a.m. when she lost control of the car, which turned on its side and struck a tree, police said.
The other two occupants of the car were a 15-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy, also from Danbury, police said.
Rodriguez is now in critical condition having suffered head trauma and chest injuries, according to police, which required her to be transported to Westchester Medical Center by helicopter.
Police said the two boys were transported to Westchester Medical Center by Katonah/Bedford Hills EMS. Information regarding the nature and severity of their injuries has not been released.
The state police will continue their investigation into the cause of the accident and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to contact the station at (914) 277-3651.

BY BILL BIRD email@example.com February 11, 2013 4:14PM
Bryan E. Woldman, 35, of Plainfield, is being held in Will County Jail in Joliet on $1 million bail, after being arrested by Naperville police for allegedly trying to arrange a sexual tryst with a child.
Updated: February 12, 2013 8:24PM
An alert mother is credited with helping Naperville police investigate and arrest a Plainfield man who allegedly used Facebook in an attempt to arrange a sexual tryst with the woman's 12-year-old daughter.
Bail has been set at $1 million for Bryan E. Woldman, 35, of the 7000 block of Clearwater Drive on the Plainfield-Joliet border. He remains in Will County Jail and faces trial on felony charges of solicitation to meet a child 5 years old or older, traveling to meet a minor for a sexual encounter and grooming.
Naperville police on Dec. 21 began investigating Woldman after a resident discovered her preteen daughter was communicating with him "via Facebook, cell phone, text and Skype," police said Monday in a release.
Members of the department's High Technology Crimes Unit over the ensuing weeks exchanged "sexually explicit text messages" with Woldman, who believed he was communicating with the girl, the release stated.
Woldman around 7:47 p.m. Friday allegedly traveled from his home to the AMC Showplace Naperville 16 movie theater complex at 95th Street and Route 59 on Naperville's far southwest side, "where he thought he was meeting the 12-year-old victim for a sexual encounter," the release continued.
He was instead taken into custody by detectives and members of the police department's Special Operations Group, according to the release.
An examination of court documents indicated Woldman has received numerous traffic tickets in Will, DuPage and Kane counties but has no criminal record.
Police have asked that anyone with additional information concerning "similar activities" involving Woldman contact Detective Rich Wistocki at 630-305-5384.

Applied Psychology (Encyclopedia of Psychology)
The area of psychology in which basic theory and research are applied to the actual problems faced by individuals on a daily basis.
Applied psychology can be best understood by comparing it to the area of psychology known as basic psychology, which is concerned with answering questions about behavior through psychological theory and research. Applied psychology utilizes this knowledge to actively intervene in the treatment of individuals with mental or emotional disorders, and is also employed in business, education, and government.
Approximately two-thirds of American psychologists work in applied fields. Many are involved in clinical or counseling psychology, diagnosing and treating individuals with various problems of adjustment. Approximately one-third of the psychologists in practice in the United States today are clinical psychologists, and most people are referred to them for treatment of a wide range of problems, including developmental, medical, and rehabilitative as well as psychiatric. These professionals use a wide range of therapies, ranging from Freudian psychoanalysis to Rogerian client-centered therapy to newer cognitive approaches. Clinical psychologists may go into private practice, either alone or in groups, or work in hospitals or clinics. They may also practice in a variety of other settings,...

Washtenaw County's tread marks all over Detroit's 2013 North American International Auto Show

Over the next two weeks, auto executives and car enthusiasts will descend on the 2013 North American International Auto Show to gawk at new concept cars and the compare the latest updates with established models.
Washtenaw County's high concentration of engineering talent and its proximity to the major manufacturing centers in southeast Michigan and across the Midwest have led some companies to develop some of their most cutting edge designs about 40 miles west of the Cobo Center.
Detroit is still the Motor City, but there's a lot going on right next door as well.
Get Ann Arbor news in your inbox
Keep your finger on the pulse of the Ann Arbor business community by signing up for the Business Review newsletter sent out early every Thursday morning. You can also sign up for the daily 3@3 email to see our best local stories every day.
The most prominent display spots at the entrance of Toyota's exhibit area were reserved for two cars that have close ties to the company's Ann Arbor area technical center, the 2013 Avalon and the new Rav 4 Electric Vehicle (EV).
The Avalon was the first Toyota vehicle entirely designed and engineered in North America, with the bulk of that work being done in Washtenaw County. The battery system for the new Rav 4 was a joint project between engineers at the center and Tesla Motors.
"We're really proud of the engineering, the styling, and all of the development work we've done in Ann Arbor and across the US," vice president for engineering design and electronic services for Toyota North America Edward Mantey said.
"We've really managed to bring a lot of new technologies to these vehicles."
Mantey said the company's intent is to bring more of the design and engineering of North American vehicles to the local market. The local engineers have brought new technologies to both the Rav 4 and Avalon.
"The Avalon will be the first vehicle to adopt wireless cellphone charging," he said.
"You will be able to just drop your phone on a pad in the car and it will charge, no need for wires. That technology was developed and engineered here in Ann Arbor."
While the concept car unveiled at NAIAS, the Corolla Furia, was designed in Japan, there are new projects in the works at the TTC that could be unveiled at coming auto shows.
The greener side of Ford
The new Mustangs are flashy, but much of Ford's NAIAS display was devoted to the technologies they have been producing that help cut carbon emissions and increase gas mileage, helping both the environment and their customers' pocketbooks.
The biggest savings available come from the new hybrid and electric vehicle models on display, all of which are powered by batteries assembled at Ford's Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti Township.
"All of the batteries we use in our C-Max, Fusion, and Focus hybrid or electric vehicles come from Rawsonville," said John Davis, chief engineer for the C-Max, Focus and Fiesta.
Ford's re-purposing and investment in the plant in 2010 came as Ypsilanti was preparing to deal with the loss of the General Motors Willow Run powertrain plant. Davis said the plant will continue to be both a resource moving forward, and could see even more work in the future.
"In the long term, we know we have to electrify more of our vehicles, and as we do that we hope to continue to leverage the resources we have and make the batteries at plants like Rawsonville."
Scott Burgess, Detroit editor for Motor Trend Magazine, said that with the increase in sales of more fuel efficient cars, Ford will be looking to expand battery production. However, he cautions that a quantum leap in the underlying technology is still needed before all-electric catch on for the mainstream.
"People want to be able to charge their car quickly and then drive 300 miles, because that's what they've been able to do with gas-powered cars," he said.
"Either consumers will have to change their habits, which is unlikely, or we'll see a new battery breakthrough. The good news for Washtenaw County is that with all of its research and development, it's as likely as anywhere to be where that happens."
Focus on user experience at Hyundai
One of the most stunning parts of Hyundai's concept car unveiling was an on-screen demonstration of new technology that will allow a driver to control everything from the radio to navigation systems with the flick of a wrist.
The new technology, not available in vehicles on the market, creates hands-free controls that read the motion of a drivers fingers allowing you to turn down the volume by grasping an invisible knob and simply turning the air.
"It's all part of what we do in Ann Arbor, which is designing the human-machine interface in our cars," senior manager of electronic systems development John Robb said.
"Even in our cars available now we have our Generation 3 multimedia displays that are much easier to use for audio as well as navigation systems We're focusing on how to meet the consumers' needs in ways that are both reliable and safe."
The research and development center near Ann Arbor that designs and tests new technologies for both Hyundai and Kia is in the middle of a new expansion and is still hiring for multiple positions.
UMTRI behind the scenes
Perhaps the biggest development coming out of the Ann Arbor automotive scene was not officially on the scene at all.
There is no Department of Transportation booth at NAIAS, and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute does not have a display set up to show off its connected vehicles project. That didn't mean it wasn't on people's minds.
"The government is here and they're talking about the V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle communication) technology with everyone," Robb said.
"We could have a decision as early as this year whether it will be mandated, recommended, or dismissed for all new cars. Ann Arbor is really the building block for that."
