Intel and Samsung are making a push to extend their data center-class SSD lines with new models featuring higher performance, consistency and endurance than SSDs targeting client devices.
Intel on Monday unveiled the DC S3700 series SSDs, which are available in 100-GB, 200-GB, 400-GB and 800-GB capacity points and which feature twice the read performance and 15-times faster write performance compared to the company's previous 710 series SSDs.
Samsung last week introduced new server and enterprise storage SSDs, including a SATA model and a dual-ported SAS model.
[Related: Slow Ultrabook PC Uptake Dents SSD Shipments: Report]
Intel's new DC S3700 SSDs are the company's third-generation data center SSDs after the introduction of its X25-E enterprise SSD in 2009 and its model 710 in 2011, said Roger Peene, director of data center SSD solutions in Intel's Non-Volatile Memory Solutions group.
The SSDs that Intel labels as data center models are those focused on performance, which Peene said includes more than just an increase in random IOs per second (IOPS).
For instance, the DC S3700 SSDs feature 15 times the write IOPS and double the read IOPS of the earlier model 710, Peene said.
"Also, they are focused on consistent performance," he said. "In laptops and desktops, consistent performance is not required. It's easy for drives to keep up with the client user. But in RAID, storage tends to operate at the performance of the slowest component, and an SSD that runs slower than expected can slow down the entire RAID performance."
Data on the DC S3700 SSDs is protected end-to-end with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error detection, parity checks on all internal busses, error correcting code (ECC) memory and logical block address (LBA) tag protection, Peene said.
"We are working to ensure there is no silent data corruption," he said.
The DC S3700 SSDs also feature high-availability electrolytic capacitors to ensure data in flight is stored if power drops, Peene said. They are based on 25-nanometer MLC technology that allows 10 full data writes per day in order to protect the flash memory from wearing out.
The drives include a five-year warranty and are rated for 2 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF), he said.

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too--but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success--his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family--Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

About Me Everyday Reader
Comments about Fifty Shades of Grey:
I can't believe the poor reviews on this book here, I am on the 3rd one and can't put it down. Eye opening, every man should read on how to please a woman, and every woman should read so they can find a man like that!

I would have NEVER bought this book had I known what it was about, not only were the characters all mixed up in their heads, but there wasn't any real story. I'm not a nit'wit, I realize stange things happen in this world, but this book was a total waste of my time. I didn't finish it and I usually pass my books on, this one went straight to the trash can where it belongs.

Since "everyone" was reading this, I decided to give it a try. The sex scenes (the main attraction) become monotonous and one note - the writing is high school level. I have nil interest in the sequels.

Awful. Just awful.
By Extra Cheese
from Alb, NM
This Twilight fanfiction is about the same quality of its originator, with all the poor literary technique, immature and narrow perspective, and romanticism of abusive relationships.Without even going into depth about the horrible misrepresentation of the BD*M (BWB won't let me say it) lifestyle or clearly r*pe (guess I can't say that either...) culture-influenced writing, let me just show you this excerpt:"His pointer finger circled my puckered love cave. 'Are you ready for this?' he mewled, smirking at me like a mother hamster about to eat her three-legged young."I'm not even going to talk about the puckered love cave. I want to talk about this:"Mewl" means to cry weakly or whimper, like a baby. That means he cried weakly like a baby, while smirking like a cannibalistic female hamster. That's not even bad erotica; that's like a sexual encounter with The Crypt Keeper.

Well I was looking at my games, Found that I still haven't put in Homeworld2, Got Home world in and played it to the end, Got Home world Cat installed and played it some. But it has been hard ever since vista to play Homeworld2, It just flat out refused to play! I finally just said well go for it. I installed the game and you know what? It WORKS!!! Not only does it work but it works better than EVER! I mean wow! I haven't played this game in years, I mean I played it once and got to like level4 then I upgraded my system and OS and ever since then I have been unable to get this game to work! AND finally now it works! It looks great too and no more glitching or stop playing at all! SMOOTH! Windows 7 64 bit does it again to yet another game that I once thought was just JUNK! OMG! Ask me one more time if I am going to windows8 I fucking dare YOU! Just fantastic. Any one else finding just how fun it is to get a game that once would not run to run? I am a PC and Windows7 was my idea! YEAH I am LOVIN it! Please tell me your stories I would love to hear them.
Not really. But yeah. I am just surprised that all my old games are working so very well! It is amazing!
Well yeah it is OLD. I had the game on my XP system it worked fine, Kinda slow. But then once I went to vista and a new setup it would not play. I did manage to get it to work with the patch but man it sucked some thing awful! stuttering all the time a complete disaster! Now for some reason today I installed it and it worked with out the patch and not only that but no more stuttering or glitching! Just flawless in every way Supper fast load supper fast graphics! It is like windows 7 64 bit looked at it and said Oh yeah no problem at all! I fought this for years and It made me angry at times to know I payed full price for this game to only get to play it ONE fucking time! Now that is all in the PAST! I plan to play this game to the end this time! Not just this game but many others as well! Next up is unreal 2004! Going to see if that one will work as well, then Wolfenstein !
My grandfather used to be a gamer in quake 3 days. He still plays quake 3. I even play with him sometimes. "They" said it would not work in vista. It did. "They" said it would not work in 7. It does.
Yeah but there are games that did not work for me, But now they do. That is why I love windows7 so much.
Never had a single problem running Homeworld 1-2 (or quake3,etc) on Windows7 (besides that these old games are run a few (1-2) FPS slower compared to how they performed on XP)
The Homeworld series is a gem in the darkness. Really a shame that they gave up making HW3, nothing out there even resembling the grandeur of the series. "The subject did not survive interrogation." always sent shivers down my spine once I got into the game.
I loved it, but if you kept giving your best after level and level in HW2, the auto-difficulty made the game nearly impossible to beat. I had to retire some of my fleet towards the end to be able to beat the game, which felt bad because I love challenge and to play other games on the hardest difficulty.
One of my favorite, Motocross Madness 2 (made by Microsoft), stopped working (constant crashing) when I upgraded to an ATI x1900 card, same with the 2xxx series card. It started working again when I installed my HD5870! The game is so much fun, I wish they'd come out with another version Screenie: That's on XP 32bit. I have not tried it on Win 7 64bit.
I still play the original Unreal online occasionally under Win7 (yes there are still servers both DM and COOP). I am not an "old game buff" or what have you but I have yet to try one that won't run.
I agree 100%!! It has some really sweet mods too just got this one http://www.homeworld2complex.com/lastversion.htm Totally sweet. This is a great game indeed! I have been playing it for hours now! I wish they would make HW3 now Just think of how sweet that would be!
Lets not forget Home World Cataclysm. "We Live!!!" All 3 of them have made my all time game #1 list. Nothing like them at all. Great story line great game play just great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDcELUCroDs
I managed to get some old games working too lately[one trick i know is to turn down sound quality in sound config menu], rainbow 6 from 2002, and a few others, i like the challenge too.


text:
No, I try not to because that would be reductive imo. The obvious exception being in Black and White where we're forced to use Reshiram/Zekrom to beat N and Ghetsis.
Nope. Makes the games easier than they already are.
Firered Team:
Emerald Team this run:
Black 2 Team:
Boy do I want my HG I lost twice back
Depends. Do I like the legendary?
My first game, Diamond, I ended up keeping Dialga on my team. Why? Because he's one of (relatively) few pokemon I like. It did feel a little like cheating but at the same time...He was still fair game.
In SoulSilver, I kept Lugia on my team, more as back up so I didn't have to train up pokemon I didn't like. I already had Typhlosian, Nidoking, and Pidgeot as my main three, and there weren't many others I liked. I was saving using Umbreon for Black 2 - I didn't want to get bored of using him in SS. So Lugia was sort of backup then.
I definitely cheated in Black 2 though! I used Genesect right away. Even though he didn't even listen to me all the time because of his level, he still OHKOed a lot of pokemon until I could find ones I wanted to use (like Riolu and Growlithe). After that, he made a good backup member, simply because he started at level 15.
And then I used Zekrom. I guess I replaced Genesect with him. He was mainly my flyer, and that's what I made Zekrom since I didn't really like Genesect, but I think Zekrom looks awesome. So Zekrom was sort of backup vsing the E4.
Since there are only a handful of pokemon I like in each Gen (around 10-20), and a lot of times, I want to beat the game asap, I'll use the legendary, though usually just as backup and not the first member of my team.

I never honestly use them in the handheld games I just mainly collect them in the handheld games, but sometimes on Pokemon Showdown I'll use them in battles.

I don't use them in-game, bar Zekrom for that one battle. Sometimes I use them competitively, but only if they balance out weak Pokemon on my team
i use rayquaza because of all the types of moves he can learn, making it my " trump card", so to speak.

Yes, I usually do use legendaries. It makes the game easier for me when I get near the end and things start getting tough. I don't battle competitively, so there's no situation I'm in where they're banned. And besides, they tend to be cool-looking.

I only post on Serebii sporadically, just so you know.
no, usually when i restart games now, i use pokemon that i wouldn't normally think of using to make new bonds with that species.
PM me if you want to battle! i'm always looking for a good battle!
"strong pokemon. weak pokemon. that is only the selfish perception of people. real trainers try to win with their favorites." - karen

Yep. If I like the Pokemon, I use it regardless of stats. In fact, two of my favorites are legendaries.
^ Why Alder is my favorite champion.even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.

Groudon and Rayquaza from Ruby—both are Lv. 100 all-stars
Entei, Raikou, Suicune in Colosseum
Victini in White-1—another all-star
Keldeo in White-2 postgame (later halted)
Probably Moltres in a current Leaf Green run.
Pretty much everything else ever was boxed.
Dialga and Giratina on Daimond.
Giratina on Platinum.
Ho-oh on HeartGold.(For a little while)
Lugia and Zapdos on SoulSilver.(For a little while)
Reshiram on Black.(For N and Ghetis)
Meloetta and Black Kyurem on Black 2.(For a little while)
I'm awesome
Competitive use only and usually with a first time ever capture post game for a bit.
Nope-I wish the legendary battles were more challenging and enjoyable though.
I personally prefer the satisfaction of sweeping my opponent's team with a pichu, rather than picking up a cheap victory with a Lugia: it doesn't feel as deserved as the latter,and just makes enemies of opponents.
The ubers tier reamins enjoyable, however.Raw power vs raw power-what's to hate?
@Macklin-Giratina's easily one of the best legendaries out there!
Last edited by Archstaraptor; 13th April 2013 at 10:54 PM.
Yeah I ev train them and use them for fun. Maybe if somebody wants to have a Uber battle I will use them. I always use Terrakion and most trio legends though.

"$10 for each A, $5 for each B, $2 for each C, and nothing for Ds and Fs. That sound fair?"
"Sure dad."
Does this interchange between parent and child sound familiar? Then perhaps it is because you have been on the giving or receiving end. It represents a common situation—parents offering children rewards for good report card grades. While no one will dispute the idea that children appreciate the money, the issue we must address is whether such a practice has detrimental effects on children's intrinsic motivation for learning and achievement.
As we have seen in this chapter, the answer depends on how children interpret the reward contingency. Some may view it as controlling their behavior. They need or want the money, and to earn it they must study hard and make good grades. This perception of control of one's behavior by others would be predicted to lead to a decline in intrinsic motivation for learning. Conversely, other children may view the contingency as a reward for their achievement and as a recognition by others of that achievement. For these children we should not expect a decrease in intrinsic motivation, and the contingency might even help build children's intrinsic motivation for achieving in school.
We do not take a position on whether parents should offer children rewards for good grades. We recommend, however, that parents who choose to do this keep a few points in mind.
- Try to link the reward to progress or achievement. A reward offered for improvement (e.g., C to a B) signals progress when the child receives it, which can build self-efficacy and motivation. Likewise, a reward offered for achieving well in a tough course signals competence when the child receives it. Conversely, a reward offered for an A in a course where everyone gets an A does not convey the same type of competency information.
- Second, emphasize the link of the reward with achievement, not the offer. Although children may come to expect rewards for good grades, saying nothing in advance (i.e., no offer) but then rewarding children when they receive a good report card de-emphasizes the offer and links the reward with achievement.
- Finally, try moving rewards away from report cards and to other forms of achievement. Rewarding a child for a high A on a test (perhaps the highest grade in the class) that the child has studied hard for signals competence and that diligent studying can lead to positive outcomes. By not offering these no-report-card rewards in advance, parents can help to build children's self-efficacy, motivation, and positive outcome expectations by taking advantage of natural contingencies as they arise.

It's no secret that video is quickly becoming an essential part of any content strategy, and the 2013 video marketing trends report only serves to concretise this.

Online giving is growing, and year-on-year the role social media plays in fundraising and marketing increases.
Online, particularly social, is already important, with 47% of Americans learning about a particular cause via an online channel.
Trevor Neilson of the Global Philanthropy Group states, "in the next two years, social media will become the primary way that Americans give money to charity."
So with online proving so important, who is doing what with content online in the charity sector? Here are three organisations with quite different approaches, detailed in Aegis Media and Social Misfits Media's new guide to social and content for charities.

In October 2012 Econsultancy ran a survey which found that 90% of brands felt that content marketing would become more important over the following 12 months.
One year on it is hard to argue against the fact that content marketing is now among the most important trends in digital.
However when we published the Content Marketing Survey Report with Outbrain, just 38% of respondents had a defined strategy in place.
That is likely to have changed by now, however just to add more weight to the argument in favour of this discipline I have rounded up six case studies from various brands that have seen real results from content marketing.

Hearty congratulations are in order in light of a big milestone that the Econsultancy blog team has reached, having for the first time surpassed 1m page impressions in a calendar month. Not bad for a niche B2B publishing operation!
That said, we don't create content simply to generate page views. The blog team contributes so much more to our business. I shall explain why.
A recent study found that only about a third of Fortune 500 companies maintain a blog, a statistic that I find perplexing, so I thought this might be a good time to remind ourselves – and you, dear reader – of why we blog, and what it's doing for us.

Despite its reputation, Mail Online is the world's most popular online newspaper, which must also make it the world's ultimate guilty pleasure.
Often those who visit the site are dubious about the news value, yet the images of half-dressed celebs and salacious gossip keep them coming back for more.
The Mail has perhaps been forced to adopt this model as it needs to chase pageviews above all else in order to maximise its ad revenue.
The only other realistic option is to duck behind a paywall, but it's not difficult to find celebrity gossip elsewhere on the internet, so it's doubtful that this would be a profitable strategy.
But is the Mail's enduring popularity something that brand marketers can learn from?
I took a look at its content strategy to find out...

It's the summer. Medialand is on holiday, and even if you are at work there is a holiday feel around.
It's harder to get hold of the right people, the decision makers that are required to input into your digital marketing. It's a time, ideally, when marketers are under a little less pressure than normal.

Content marketing has definitely become something of a digital marketing buzzword, but the basic principle of creating interesting content to attract customers and improve search rankings is still valid.
A good example of this comes from The Met Office, which recently implemented a new content strategy as part of its plan to boost ad revenues by attracting more visitors.
As a recognised weather service the site was already pulling in an average of 4.5m unique monthly users, peaking at 6m in busy periods, but the digital teams felt that it could improve on this number by producing more targeted content.
To achieve this The Met Office began working with a new analytics platform to gain a better understanding of visitor behaviour and improve its content plan.

It's everyone's favourite time of the week – the big reveal of the finest digital marketing infographic we've seen in the past few days.
This time it's a beginner's guide to content marketing from Demand Metric.
It shows that 90% of organisations currently undertake content marketing and on average they spend more than 25% of their budget on this channel.
Furthermore, 80% of marketers believe custom content should be central to marketing work and almost two-thirds (62%) of companies outsource their content marketing.

Evergreen content can drive plenty of the right kind of traffic to your website over the long term. It is one of the best returns on your investment into content, as it is a gift that keeps on giving, and should be a key part of your content strategy.
In this article I'm going to try to outline the strategic value of evergreen content, to help you understand exactly what makes something long-lasting, and I shall provide a few pointers on what works (and what doesn't).
First, let's answer the question. What is evergreen content? Simply put, it is the kind of content that does not grow old quickly. Think about how to guides, and other reference material. Evergreen content is often useful, and it doesn't need to be updated too often.
Let's start by looking at an example...

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
It has been found that Ethiopian wind speeds suitable for electricity generation vary across the territory. According to a recent survey, there are several stations with higher than 6 m/s annual average wind speed - the speed generally considered as the minimum necessary for power production. The highest wind speeds measured were in the Mekelle Region at Ashegoda with 8 m/s and Harena 6.84 m/s. Other high wind speed sites were found at Nazareth and Gondar with 6.64 m/s and 6.07 m/s respectively. Wind speeds at around 4 m/s were recorded in Harar, Debre Birhan and Sululta. This work was undertaken in 2005 with the assistance of GTZ of Germany, as part of the TERNA programme (Technical Expertise for Renewable Energy Application). The annual distribution shows a minimum in July and August and two peaks in March and October.
Medium wind speeds of between 3.5 and 5.5 m/s (energy values between 500 and 1 500 Mcal/m2) exist over most of the eastern part of the country and the central rift valley zone. Such winds provide a promising potential for water lifting in the rift valley settlements, where water is scarce both for irrigation and domestic uses. At the present time there are a dozen wind turbines installed by a Catholic Mission in the Meki-Zeway area to pump water for schools and villages.
By the end of 2006, the management of the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO) had decided to construct two parks of approximately 60 MW each for immediate implementation. The first turbine is planned to be online by June 2007 (end of the dry season).

And it included a decent breakfast, which for a family means additional savings. The hotel is modern and clean. The staff was courteous.... More

Flip on HGTV or TLC and you'll notice that building with sustainable resources is a flourishing concept. From bamboo flooring to all-natural paint, builders and home owners want eco-friendly solutions. Now there is an organic way to stay warm…and cool.
Greensulation is a renewable and biodegradeable insulation currently undergoing testing, and when it hits the market – potentially as soon as 2010 – it will be the first of its kind in the industry. The insulation is made mainly of rice hulls, mushroom roots and recycled paper, which are mixed together with water and hydrogen peroxide, placed in plastic containers, and put in a dark place where it can literally grow into shape. It is then baked to stop photosynthesis of mold and spores, and voila! – a rigid panel of insulation that can withstand heat up to 1,112 degrees Fahrenehit. The best part is it can be done cheaply since it utilizes agro-garbage and easily obtained ingredients, and contains no petroleum.
The product is proven to be fire retardant - far more so than common pink insulation products - but is still under testing to make sure it can resist mold growth and conforms to strict building codes. But building companies all over the world are already contacting the inventors at Ecovative wanting to know more about the innovation.
Along with other boons to the building industry and eco-friendly home construction, Greensulation will be a welcome addition to the growing arsenal of cheap, sustainable materials.

Surely this is code for 'the damned stuff is currently a biohazard'.

Greensulation is a renewable and biodegradeable
You lost me at biodegradable. I currently live in a house that is over 100 years old. I don't want it degrading around me over time.
written by Sam, November 06, 2008
Geek: Those materials you reference are not 100% recyclable. They add several chemicals to the denim and newspaper cellulose to make them fire retardant. Greensulate is naturally fire retardant without these added chemicals.
EV: Greensulate won't biodegrade in your home any more than the 2x4's in your walls. However, when your house eventually is torn down, the Greensulate can be crumpled up and thrown on your garden. When it is super saturated with water (rained on) on dirt, only then will it naturally decompose.

So why haven't any of the "interested" building companies invested or teamed up? Not a dime. Why no vcs, investors or partners? No money-where-their-mouth-is interest in a year and a half is very significant. Is there a "there" there?
There seems to be a major problem in commercializing this science project. Maybe can't make enough of it at a reasonable cost in a reasonable amount of time?

Emulates the finest vintage and modern hi gain tones at manageable volumes!
Built with the finest components and construction to withstand the abuse of constant roadwork, the Budda Superdrive 30 Series II Combo won't let you down. You can dial in just the right amount of gain and volume for late night studio work and small club venues. The rhythm channel packs plenty of punch and dynamics, just like Budda's famous Twinmaster circuit. The flex of the EL84 and 5u4 rectifier tubes give an elasticity to your tone that is pure organic soul! The amplifier's hi-gain channel offers plenty of variation, from creamy blue tones, to full on hyperdrive crunch. The master doesn't choke the amp, so you get plenty of touch-sensitive sustain at low volume settings.
The Superdrive features speaker cable wiring by Monster Cable. Monster Cable uses Time Correct Windings and advanced cable construction to deliver an accurate signal with deeper bass and wider dynamic range in high performance sound reinforcement applications. Budda has never sounded better.
A good amplifier lets you rock the house . . . a great amp lets you find your voice. Get ready to sing and order your Superdrive 30.

Practical cryptographySecurity is the number one concern for businesses worldwide. The gold standard for attaining security is cryptography because it provides the most reliable tools for storing or transmitting digital information. Written by Niels Ferguson, lead cryptographer for Counterpane, Bruce Schneier's security company, and Bruce Schneier himself, this is the much anticipated follow-up book to Schneier's seminal encyclopedic reference, Applied Cryptography, Second Edition (0-471-11709-9), which has sold more than 150,000 copies. Niels Ferguson (Amsterdam, Netherlands) is a cryptographic engineer and consultant at Counterpane Internet Security. He has extensive experience in the creation and design of security algorithms, protocols, and multinational security infrastructures. Previously, Ferguson was a cryptographer for DigiCash and CWI. At CWI he developed the first generation of off-line payment protocols. He has published numerous scientific papers. Bruce Schneier (Minneapolis, MN) is Founder and Chief Technical Officer at Counterpane Internet Security, a managed-security monitoring company. He is also the author of Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (0-471-25311-1). |

Reviews for Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken(10)
Sort By :
I have made this recipe several times, and it's a favorite in our house. I add some spices to the top of chicken before topping with salsa. I add garlic salt, rosemary, cayenne and chili powder. ( I didn't always do it, and it was great before too, but just a little extra kick). Anyways, I love it!!!
So easy to make, my husband & kids loved it. I made Spanish rice on the side to go with it & used flour tortillas to wrap it all up in. This one is a favorite and have made it a few times. So easy to throw in the crock pot in the morning & have dinner ready after work.
My family and I LOVE this recipe. The other night, I didn't have time to thaw the chicken in time to get it into the crock pot for 6 hours. I put the ingredients into my electric skillet, and it worked wonderfully: very tender and flavorful either way I've prepared it!
I love this recipe! Use a good salsa. I use a little bit more salsa on top of chicken. I put frozen corn with beans. It comes out wonderful!
Super easy, really tasty. Definitely a keeper. It took only 3 hours to cook. Great with a little sour cream and some crunched up tortilla chips on top. Delicious!

Discount retailer Target has signed a deal with photo-sharing service Photobucket, adding it to the small collection of online partners for its in-store photo-printing service.

I got these poles for my mother for her birthday. They were shipped to her the next day and she said that the box was so light she didn't think anything was in it. She absolutely loves them. Light, comfortable, and rugged but not clunky. Now I want some for myself!

Morning Worship
June 3rd, 2012 10:30 am to 12:00 pm
Normally occurs every Sunday
The Sunday morning services are a fast paced celebration of corporate worship, prayer, fellowship, and biblical preaching. Beginning with a time of contemporary praise and worship, services at Newspring are marked by a distinct presence of God. From the beginning of the first note of praise and worship, it is clear why we have gathered. Following praise and worship is a time of prayer when various needs are mentioned and an opportunity to receive prayer is extended. A relevant biblical message concludes the service and is sure to be filled with humor, emotion, and a challenge for all attending.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Perfectly bright red in color, thus revealing its youth. The nose is generous as a Pinot Noir should typically be. It opens the way to aromas of small fruits and Burgundian black and red berries like those used to make sorbets and creams. The palate is pleasant, supple and well balanced. It reveals..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A wonderful product of its terroir, it emulates a particularly rich Riesling, sun-tainted yet with intense minerality.... The 2010 Heissenberg Riesling has a pronounced personality, which requires spicy courses of white meats, sauced fishes, or aged hard cheeses. Foie gras..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A major sleeper of the vintage, this outstanding wine from the Aubert family in St.-Emilion has terrific plum, black cherry and cassis fruit as well as hints of earth and flowers. Supple-textured, opulent and savory, it is a heady, fleshy wine to drink over the next 3-5 years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This 20+-acre vineyard, acquired by Gerard and Chantal Perse in 2001, is planted on a clay and limestone plateau. The 2009, a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, was cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare, and possesses 14.2% alcohol. One of the top wines of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color ... full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock ... [One] of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland ... of Fontenil in Fronsac."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Aromas of small red berries with some light cherry sapwood and a delicate nose of oak. This is dynamic and full of minerality due to the stony soil.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "…his is an outstanding wine and further evidence of just how strong this estate's wines have become. Sweet plum and red and black currant fruit, intermixed with notes of resiny pine forest and forest floor as well as a hint of barrique, are followed by a wine with gorgeous depth, an..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Burghound Review:"Moderate wood influence sets off intensely earthy ripe red berry fruit aromas that sit atop the rich, pure and relatively fine middle weight flavors that possess very good depth and length. This moderately structured effort is a quality Savigny villages and worth considering."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Dark ruby/plum-hued with an evolved nose of cedar, dried herbs, sweet cherries, and plums, this medium-bodied, attractive St.-Estephe is best consumed during its first 7-8 years of life.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The larger-scaled 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Le Rouvre offers a dense purple color followed by aromas of graphite, fruitcake, black currants and blackberries. This stunning, full-bodied, rich Crozes-Hermitage has a lot in common with the more serious wines from Hermitage... Despite the name,..

Seroff's book is another biography of Sergei Prokofiev. Chapter 26 of his book opens up with Prokofiev's journey to the US in early 1938 and ends a year later when Prokofiev himself conducted the first performance of the cantata Alexander Nevsky, which he adapted from his score for the movie. The chapter is heavily based on primary sources - Prokofiev's and Eisenstein's statements about each other, their quotes and letters about their collaboration on Nevsky, but it also includes an article that Prokofiev wrote later on about his journey to the US, which includes his opinions on contemporary American music. Seroff gives a full picture of the character of Prokofiev's composition, ranging from the "upside-down" means of orchestration, to placement of the microphones and mixing experiments in the studios. He also examines the "exceptionally harmonious relationship that stemmed from Eisenstein's understanding and knowledge of Prokofiev's works, and of Prokofiev the man" (217), but also asserts that "the two collaborators, however, did not always agree" (219). Seroff also talks about Prokofiev's "nationalistic" music, but agrees with Eisenstein that through his "true originality in the Hegelian sense, Prokofiev was both national and international" (218).
Evaluation & Analysis:
Seroff's discourse on the nature of collaboration between Eisenstein and Prokofiev is exceptional, although Seroff mistakenly dates Prokofiev's visit to United States to 1939, instead of 1938. Unlike Robinson, Seroff acknowledges the fact that Prokofiev bought home with him some technical knowledge in sound-film production, which he had acquired while visiting film studios in Hollywood. Although they both explore Prokofiev's guiding principle in using Russian folk music of the 13th century by recomposing it with the instrumental possibilities of the 20th century orchestra, Seroff adds another dimension to his music by convincingly presenting Prokofiev's score not only as profoundly nationalistic, but also as very international, due to the variety of his musical language that incorporates not only purely national, historical or patriotic themes, but themes of Renaissance Italy and Shakespearean England. This logically implicates that there was also a temporal juxtaposition in Prokofiev's score on various levels – using contemporary orchestra to recreate the Russian folksongs of the 13th century but also drawing the inspiration from the past, from the heroic deeds of Russia in 19th century (defeating Napoleon), while simultaneously subtly integrating into the score the elements from the Byzantine and European cultures of medieval times. Based on this, the affinity between Eisenstein and Prokofiev has a common ground; one that might be labeled paradoxical synchronization. For Eisenstein, it would be the non-synchronization of sound to visual images (music not as mere accompaniment) and his endorsement of the contrapuntal use of sound, while for Prokofiev it would be a two-layered paradoxical synchronization of a huge variety of musical themes (old & new, national & international).
