The "Ghosts" of California Wine Country | |||

All they have to do is love wine.
That's right, wine. Try this one on for size: Once the kids have finished scouring the neighborhood for Blow Pops and tiny Snickers bars, throw on your best vintner getup -- a tweed jacket and a witty tie if you favor the Europeans, a pair of jeans and some turquoise jewelry if California is your thing -- and, duly disguised, stage your own grownup version of trick-or-treat. With wine.
Enter half-bottles -- 375ml versions of the standard bottle size -- in which a whole range of different wines can be found. In fact, many major producers, in most wine-producing countries, release wine in half-bottles. No need to skimp on quality simply because you've gone down in format. In some cases, the very best wines available come in smaller-size bottles -- Sauternes, for example, the great dessert wine of Bordeaux.
Truth is, sweet wines in general are terrific candidates for grownup trick-or-treating. One, because they make fine gifts anyhow; and two, because they're sweet, a sophisticated legal-drinking-age counterpart to what the kids are loading up on. Maturity does not mean that a youthful sweet tooth must be surrendered, especially on Halloween.
However, confining yourself to "stickies," as sweet wines are sometimes called, isn't entirely necessary. Any of a number of regular reds and whites come in half-bottles. Check with your wine merchant, as these represent an excellent opportunity to sample quality wines at a slightly lower price.
Champagnes and other sparkling wines also come in halves, as well as in an even smaller format, the 187ml "split." See if you can track down Pommery Pop or Baby Piper, two recent efforts by respected Champagne houses (Pommery and Piper Heidsieck, respectively) to release their bubbly in wee bottles. Both even come with their own straws.
So stop seething over your vanished childhood, and get your greedy mitts off the Bazooka and the Blow Pops. This year, figure out how to trick-or-treat like a wine-loving grownup. If you think about it, you don't really even need the kids.
A Wine Spectator Online Selection of Small-Format Trick-or-Treat Stickies
Here's a rundown of sweet wines that would serve as excellent trick-or-treat fare for grownups. More than 500 cases were produced of each wine, and all are rated 85 or above on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale.
Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese Neusiedlersee Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague No. 10 1998 (98, $55)
Halloween is a time for monsters, and here's a good one. A great, big, powerful wine in a small bottle. Plus, just saying "Trockenbeerenauslese" sends a chill up the spine.
Chateau Reynella Tawny Port McClaren Vale Old NV (92, $18)
Port is, in many respects, both definitely autumnal and seriously Halloween-y. Rich, somber, relaxing -- the definitive form of candy for grownups. And there's a good chance that this one will outlive the Tootsie Rolls of 2001.
Jackson Riesling Marlborough Botrytis Single Vineyard 1999 (93, $25)
Botrytis is a very Halloween-ish occurrence: perfectly healthy grapes are permitted to develop the ghoulish "noble rot," in which they become frighteningly shriveled, thus concentrating their sugars. This one is a terrific example and a pretty good buy.
Eola Hills Gewürztraminer Oregon Late Harvest Vin d'Epice 1998 (90, $16)
Oregon is not generally regarded as a scary place, and Gewürztraminer is perhaps the least terrifying grape variety. So why throw this one into the mix? Because late-harvest Gewürz is good. There's also some unproven speculation that it can ward off evil spirits. You be the judge.
Bonny Doon Muscat California Vin de Glacière 1998 (89, $16)
Winemaker Randall Grahm is a Halloween kind of guy -- his wines usually evoke a smile, and his devotion to his craft is downright scary. This one, a blend of several offbeat grape varieties, requires a little bravery, but as any god trick-or-treater knows, it's the threat of the trick that leads to the glories of the treat. Plus, 13,000 cases were made, so there's plenty to go around.
Thierry Despres Monbazillac Grande Maison Cuvée Mademoiselle 1998 (89, $13)
Le trick or treat? Why not? The ancient Celtic celebration of Halloween, after all, began in Britain and northern France. And in the late '90s, jack-o'-lanterns and Halloween regalia began to appear in Paris. American culture sweeping the globe? Or the French rediscovering their Druidic roots? Regardless, Monbazillac is a pretty interesting wine. Hailing from Bergerac, near Bordeaux, it can approach the quality of fine Sauternes, at a much lower price.
Antinori Umbria Muffato della Sala 1997 (87, $35)
Halloween in Italy? Maybe not yet on the American scale, but dolcetto o scherzetto -- Italian for "trick or treat" -- has been heard more often of late, despite some claims that Halloween is a corrupting pagan ritual with Satanic undertones. This view doesn't seem to bother Italian grownups, who have been known to celebrate the eve of All Saints' Day, a national holiday (Nov. 1).
Château de l'Engarran Coteaux du Languedoc Cuvée Ste.-Cécile 1998 (86, $11)
If you've got your ear to the ground, you know that there's serious bargain action in the Languedoc, France's vast southern winemaking region. Here's a dessert wine that won't bust the bank, and that deviates a tad from the robust reds and rich whites for which Languedoc has become known.

Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning occurs when a person swallows, absorbs, or inhales lead in any form. The result can be damaging
to the brain, nerves, and many other parts of the body. Acute lead poisoning, which is somewhat rare, occurs when a relatively large amount of lead is taken into the body over a short period of time. Chronic lead poisoning — a common problem in children — occurs when small amounts of lead are taken in over a longer period. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines childhood lead poisoning as a whole-blood lead concentration equal to or greater than 10 micrograms/dL.
Lead can damage almost every system in the human body, and it can also cause high blood pressure (hypertension). It is particularly harmful to the developing brain of fetuses and young children. The higher the level of lead in a child's blood, and the longer this elevated level lasts, the greater the chance of ill effects. Over the long term, lead poisoning in a child can lead to learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and even mental retardation. At very high levels, lead poisoning can cause seizures, coma, and even death. According to the National Center for Environmental Health, there were about 200 deaths from lead poisoning in the United States between 1979 and 1998. Most of the deaths were among males (74%), African Americans (67%), adults over the age of 45 (76%), and Southerners (70%).
About one out of every six children in the United States has a high level of lead in the blood, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Many of these children are exposed to lead through peeling paint in older homes. Others are exposed through dust or soil that has been contaminated by old paint or past emissions of leaded gasoline. Since children between the ages of 12–36 months are apt to put objects in their mouths, they are more likely than older children to take in lead. Pregnant women who come into contact with lead can pass it along to their fetuses.
Over 80% of American homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint in them, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The older the home, the more likely it is to contain lead paint, and the
Source | Description |
Paint | Lead-based paint can be a hazard in older homes. Children eat peeling paint, chew on painted surfaces, or come in contact with it during remodeling projects. |
Dust and soil | Contamination of soil is usually caused by paint, leaded gasoline, pollution from industrial sites, and smelters. |
Foods | Lead can be found in imported canned foods, leaded crystal, and some ceramic dishware. |
Activities | Activities such as pottery, stained glassmaking, and furniture refinishing can heighten exposure to lead. |
Drinking water | Homes built before 1930 may contain lead water pipes. Newer homes may also contain copper pipes with lead solder. |
higher the concentration of lead in the paint is apt to be. Some homes also have lead in the water pipes or plumbing. People may have lead in the paint, dust, or soil around their homes or in their drinking water without knowing it, since lead cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. Because lead does not break down naturally, it can continue to cause problems until it is removed.

As of January 15th, 34% of Montana is under some stage of drought according the National Drought Monitor. Just 7% of Montana is in the D3 Extreme Drought category and just under 12% is in the D2 Severe Drought category. More than 15% of Montana is in the D1 or Moderate Drought category and finally just under 13% of Montana is in the D0 or Abnormally Dry category.
The Drought Outlook released January 17th shows no drought development expected through the end of April 2013 across those portions of northern and central Montana that are currently void of drought. The drought is ongoing with some improvements across southern Montana. There are no areas in Montana that indicate the drought is expected to persist or worsen through the end the April 2013.
One reason the drought has not worsened in Montana is due to a wet and cold December. According to climatologist with the National Weather Service December 2012 was the 52nd wettest and the 52nd coldest for Montana in 118 years. The first half of January has been well above average for precipitation for Southwest, Southeast and hi-line regions.
February forecast from the National Climatic Prediction Center is calling for equal chances temperatures will be above, below or near normal over west, southwest and portions of south central Montana. North central and Eastern Montana has a 33 to 50 percent chance of below normal temperatures during February.
Spring forecast March through May shows an equal chances, or near normal conditions, for temperatures and precipitation.
Another indicator for near normal long range forecast is El Nino remains in a neutral state and should remain neutral through Spring of 2013.

I. Introduction
This is a short extract from Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope Analysis. The complete report of 18-25 pages can be
orderedas an E-Horoscope or a bound booklet in the Astroshop.
This horoscope analysis - using the insights of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology - offers you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed and which aims at providing greater
II. Your Psychological Type
This short chapter describes your typical or characteristic way of responding to situations in life.
The rich array of individual attributes portrayed in your birth horoscope is set, as it is with everyone, against the backdrop of a certain temperament bias. We might call this bias your psychological "type".
You possess the gift of a clear, strong and objective mind, and you are a lover of truth and integrity in all your dealings. You will always favour reason over chaos, and principles over personal reactions. But there is considerable conflict within
you - a dilemma between your rational, detached spirit and your intense and sometimes overpowering feeling. Another way of describing your nature might be to say that you tend to live in your head -because it seems safer, more civilised, and more
"decent" [...]
[..] You need to be careful not to devalue the importance of your ordinary daily life and your body, for otherwise your flights into the rich world of fantasy and vision will become a defense against your great
vulnerability in relationship. Your contempt for the banal and the [...]
III. Character and Shadow
In this comprehensive chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Liz Greene provides valuable insights about your essential character traits.
The interplay between the conscious and unconscious sides of you is a constantly shifting dance, changing at different stages of your life and altering according to the pressures and challenges which you encounter. The tension between the primary
characters in your inner drama is the source of energy which provides your life with movement, purpose, conflict and growth.
[..] You are a sensitive and idealistic person who is not wholly comfortable within the limits and boundaries of material life; for, like Plato,
you crave the Good, the True and the Beautiful - and if you are unable to find glimpses of your dream amidst the mundane circumstances [...]
[..] Much of Platonic philosophy echoes your
sentiments, even if you have never read it. Your senses serve your heart and imagination, and you find it difficult to experience physical pleasure with another person if the mystical dimension of what you call love is not included [...]
Hidden traits
In contrast to the bright light of your mystical aspiration, there is another protagonist in your inner psychic drama. This figure contains all that you have excluded from your conscious values and behaviour in order to pursue your higher ideals.
This hidden dimension [...]
A minor character
[..] Humanity is not only an idea in your experience, but a living reality; and the events which touch your personal life are immediately
translated into broader and more general perspectives, for you cannot conceive of yourself as a separate and detached entity divorced from [...]
IV. The Family Background
In the complete horoscope analysis, this chapter deals with your family myths as well as with your perception of your parents and their relationship.
Although you are an individual, you have emerged from a family background. Thus you contain certain inner patterns, myths and attitudes toward life which you have acquired from the psychological soil of this background.
V. Relationship Patterns
This chapter describes attitudes, needs and characteristic patterns in close one-to-one relationships.
Both astrology and psychology teach us that nothing that occurs within a relationship is chance. Your birth horoscope describes what you are like inside, and therefore what kind of patterns, needs and compulsions you are likely to bring into your
relationships with others.
You live in a magical, ethereal world; and you need the stabilizing balance of men who seem firmly rooted on the earth and at home in their bodies. Such a person can offer you a very workable relationship, for he can help you to appreciate your own
considerable but usually repressed sensuality. You need a partner who is not afraid of the physical realm, for your other-worldly personality requires balance and a bridge into ordinary life. In turn you can help such a partner to see and validate
VI. Paths toward Integration
The final chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis contains insights into the potential for growth as shown in your birth chart.
The following paragraphs provide some suggestions of ways in which conscious effort might make it possible for you to achieve greater harmony between the different components within yourself, and to strengthen that centre of the personality which
psychology calls the ego, the "I".
Please read a complete sample horoscope (of another person).

So this announcement that he is leaving.
His post as sender of the junior senator.
From South Carolina.
And it will take over at The Heritage Foundation.
Conservative think tank here in Washington.
That's a big job and Heritage Foundation.
Puts out a lot of things as you know.
And holds a lot of events here in Washington.
And he is departure means that South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.

On the deal yet people have been describing it like that some people said it's like a scorpion dance you know they're kind of stalking each other and waiting to get in that room and make the deal.
Erskine Bowles said something similar that both sides can't really talk about what it's going to be because they would get pummeled.
By the base.
If either side really knew what they're going to in the end agree to.
That's the hopeful optimistic side that a deal will be reached.
There's another side that says.
This isn't as close as as those optimists believe and that this is going over the -- and I think.
There's 5050 chance right now.
And and on that point Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
Was asked about it asked whether or not you know the US would go over the cliff and whether or not we be ready for here's what he sent us.
Is -- administration prepared to go over the fiscal cliff taught salute you again we see is no prospect for an agreement.
That doesn't involve those rates going up on the top.
2% of the wealth -- -- members only 2%.
Now he did not blink.
That's the Treasury Secretary.
-- they talk like that.
It's really unique and in this Treasury Secretary is very loyal to this president I mean to register his -- -- but he is up.
He is saying essentially that.
Did tax rates going up are essential.
That the money is not essential that that the dollar figure is not essential that the rates going up.
Are essential and that's just -- and you know -- going over the cliff comes with a lot of a lot of things that could affect the top 10% of -- -- that had 10% unemployment tax rates -- everybody going higher.
What what are you hearing on the house side.
Among the house Republicans whether or not they're behind the speaker but -- they're pulling away from him where does that stand do you believe.
You know there are some on the house side that have a lot of concerns about.
The tax rates and that he's that the speaker -- cave.
But you you're starting to see some real stiffening.
Of Republican resolved at least that's what they're talking about.
That the speaker is starting to get everybody in line.
And that they're lining up behind him.
And that says this is forming up to possibly.
Stand strong in whatever deal he comes to now.

Burlington City Council approves gun control proposalsThe Associated Press | October 23,2013BURLINGTON Burlingtons City Council has voted to approve several gun-control measures: allowing police to seize firearms in cases of suspected domestic abuse, requiring trigger locks for safe gun storage and prohibiting firearms in bars.
A fourth provision that would have created a permit system for the concealed carrying of guns didnt pass Monday night.
A forum before the meeting was packed with supporters and opponents of the proposed charter changes.
Some people said the city didnt have the authority to regulate weapons. Councilor Norman Blais said any suggestion that the council is doing something illegal is wrong.
The changes will return to the council for public hearings. The measures would then need to be accepted by voters in March and approved by the Legislature.MORE IN Vermont NewsWASHINGTON Although House and Senate negotiators failed to agree on a new farm bill as Congress...

In the aftermath of traumatic events like the Newtown massacre, Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina, children need to heal, just as adults do. But in turning to research to find out what approaches work best for young people, one finds little guidance, according to a research review published February 11 in Pediatrics.
The study focused on non-interpersonal trauma, such as natural disasters, terrorism and community violence, and excluded sexual abuse and domestic violence. A total of 22 trials meeting the criteria provided evidence on interventions for children exposed to trauma. The criteria required studies to have low or medium risk of bias, to compare at least two groups of children and to measure at least one outcome related to post traumatic stress symptoms that children may experience after such events, such as depression, anxiety attacks, psychosomatic symptoms (headaches, stomachaches, general pains), poor grades, nightmares and similar symptoms.
Among the 20 treatments included in those trials were various psychotherapies focusing on trauma or grief, school-based programs, group therapy and three medication trials: imipramine (Tofranil) , fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft).The results are sobering: researchers don't know if any medications help and if anything works long-term, and don't know much about possible harms from interventions.
"I thought we were going to find a lot of studies on different interventions and make clinical recommendations," says Valerie Forman-Hoffman, the study's lead researcher and a psychiatric epidemiologist for RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Many of the excluded studies failed to include comparison groups, which are important because children may recover without treatment, she added. "It's depressing. The evidence base is just lacking."
Many children do heal on their own from one-off events, especially with good support systems. Yet, about 30 percent will continue to experience nightmares, anxiety attacks, stomachaches and other post traumatic stress symptoms more than a month later, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Past research has also shown children can develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms simply in response to watching news coverage of traumatic events.
A variety of treatment approaches showed some evidence for effectiveness, but not enough studies compared approaches or replicated other results. "That's not saying that no treatment works," Forman-Hoffman says, "but based on the evidence, we don't know what works."
What we do know
One reason for the limited findings may be the review's exclusion of studies about relational trauma, such as sexual abuse or domestic violence. A companion review awaiting publication did review that evidence, but separating the two types of trauma may have made it harder to see a big picture.
"Had they looked at all of the research done on trauma exposure for kids, you would have seen replications for some of the intervention models," says Todd Sosna, the senior vice president in charge of program evaluation at the Children's Institute in Los Angeles. "The research does give some directions for treatments that can be helpful, and they tend to be the ones that are cognitive behavioral and involve trauma narratives."
With trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), clinicians spend 12 to 18 weeks with a child and parent to help them understand the effects of trauma, how to cope and how to retrain their thoughts and behavior responses. TF-CBT (pdf) also uses trauma narratives—stories children tell about an event while reprocessing it in a healthy way. Put another way, it's telling the story while getting back on the horse. This study and another recent review both found some evidence for reduced symptoms with TF-CBT, but the studies were small and short-term. TF-CBT studies also often involve only children who were sexually abused, providing less specific guidance regarding survivors of a school shooting or hurricane.

Affirmative action survives. On Monday, the Supreme Court punted on a University of Texas case that could have been the occasion for a reconsideration of the constitutionality of racial preferences in admission to state universities. By a 7-1 vote, the justices sent the case back to a federal appeals court with instructions to examine with "strict scrutiny" the university's claim that its policy of taking race into account is "narrowly tailored."
Supporters of affirmative action would have preferred a ruling that the Texas admissions program was constitutional. But they're still ecstatic. They had feared that the court would use the Texas case to overrule a 2003 decision that allowed the University of Michigan Law School to take race into account to achieve a "critical mass" of minority students. Instead, Monday's decision cites the 2003 ruling.
But there is a cloud in the silver lining. The court still refuses to accept the most logical and historically valid argument for racial preferences: that state universities should be free to try to undo the effects of past discrimination (including the institution of slavery) even if that means admitting black students whose grades and test scores are lower than those of other applicants.
Instead, Monday's decision reaffirmed two principles propounded by the late Justice Lewis Powell in his opinion in the 1978 case of Regents of the University of California vs. Bakke. One is that racial classifications designed to benefit minorities long subject to discrimination are just as suspect as racial classifications that empower whites. The other is that such classifications are permissible in the university admissions setting if they promote "the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body." But race may be only one of many factors, and there can't be "quotas."
It's a problematic rationale, and distinguishing quotas from a "critical mass" is an administrative and judicial nightmare. It would have been better if the court in Bakke and since then had adopted the defense of affirmative action offered by Justice Thurgood Marshall in his Bakke opinion.
Marshall, the legendary civil rights lawyer, wrote: "It must be remembered that, during most of the past 200 years, the Constitution, as interpreted by this court, did not prohibit the most ingenious and pervasive forms of discrimination against the Negro. Now, when a state acts to remedy the effects of that legacy of discrimination, I cannot believe that this same Constitution stands as a barrier."

The conservative Christian group strikes back at liberal groups that criticized the Dungy invite.

If you worry about your older relatives or friends ability to drive safely, you're not alone. It's a problem facing many families.
Dr. Michael J. Cooney, an eye surgeon specialist in New York City joined us for a satellite interview to answer question that some of you may have.
There's always a lot of talk about older people being dangerous drivers, how much of that has to do with age-related vision loss?
Quite a bit has do with age-related vision loss. There's a host age-related eye diseases that can affect vision. Things like cataract, glaucoma, or what we are here to talk about today, and that's age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Which is the main cause of people not seeing well straight ahead after the age of 55.
And what cause that in older people?
So, macular degeneration, the greatest risk factor for that, is that every advancing decade after the age of 60, your risk goes up exponentially. Family history is also a big risk factor. People who are Caucasian and women have a higher risk factor for this as well. There are other things such a smoking, blood pressure, poor nutrition; that also play some modifiable roles in this disorder.
So, what are somethings people can do if they're facing this issue to maintain their vision, therefore stay safer when they're out there on the roads?
So first and foremost, I think every person after the age of 55 needs to have an annual dilated eye exam, to be screened for this and other age-related eye diseases. If they are found to have what we call advanced wet macular degeneration, we know from a recent study published in the Journal of Ophthalmology late last year, that patients that were treated with drug called Lucentis, the vast majority of them maintained good vision- vision good enough to maintain driving, which is usually 20/40. And the vast majority of those patients express significantly greater confidence in driving on the road.
And if there are people watching this at home and think "Hey, I fall into this category." Who should they talk to?
I think it starts with getting in to see your eye care professional for a full dilated examination to see where you specially are. I think incorporating the family into that conversion is important because loss of independence is a big issue. Often time is they do meet criteria for the medication that we mentioned. A lot the things they want to do often times can be reestablished.

Help to austinNov 18, 201310Not directly to the airport - it's over an 80 mile drive. The cheapest way to get between them would be to rent a car. If you can't drive, I would take Amtrak or Greyhound, depending on what fits your schedule, and then a taxi from that station to the airport.ZAPposted on Mon, Nov 18
Is there a shuttle from SAT to Corpus Cristi?Oct 7, 201310That is a very long trip (2 hours) and there is no regularly scheduled service. If you can drive, I advise a one way car rental. If you can't and are looking for the cheapest option, you can take the 5 bus from the airport to downtown San Antonio and then the Greyhound bus from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. The whole ordeal will take you about 4-5 hours.ZAPposted on Mon, Oct 7
Shuttle Bus/Shared ride service?Oct 16, 201310Hi, Moving to San Antonio in June. Need to commute from Potranco and 1604 area to the airport at least once a month. Are there any $30-$40 shuttle services I can hire? Thanks!KCRposted on Tue, Apr 16
shuttleApr 2, 201310There is no scheduled shuttle service to Kerrville, you'll have to either get a taxi or rent a car. There's also two daily Greyhound buses from downtown san antonio to Kerrville, but you would have to get downtown to use that so it probably wouldn't be worth it.ZAPposted on Tue, Apr 2

To view this case mod, go here. Specs: Intel core i7 3770K Asus Sabertooth z77 Fractal Design Core 3000 Evga GTX570 Sli Ultra X4 750W 4Gb Muskin Silverline DDR3 1333 128 Gb Plextor M3 SSD 1 Tb Hitachi HDD Corsair H60i NZXT Airflow Fans (140mm and 120mm) Mods: Redesigned front panel to expose intake fans. Fans have been replaced with NZXT Airflow Series fans that look like turbine rotors. All front panel cables have been sleeved. Power Supply cables have also been sleeved with a combination of black white and purple paracord. Case feet have been replaced. Made an acrylic cover for the optical drive bays, stock H60 fan has been replaced with Enermax Vegas Duo. Removed both HDD cages and replaced them with a custom vertical HDD/SSD bracket. Made clear side panel using smoked acrylic.
Looks very sleek and minimalist. I love the Black and White colour theme. The 2 exposed front fans look very nice, though are they safe? Don't wana shove your finger in there. Also would you consider putting a dust filter behind the fans? So they aren't visible, but still stop dust getting in the case. Also I gotta say, props to you for your great cable management, had to have a closer look at the pictures to actually see the cables.
very good theme badmau5, the combination of grille-less front panel cutouts with nzxt fans does indeed give the impression of a turbo/jet intake.. black-white scheme looks good on any case.. the choice of parts seem well thought out to match this scheme - white drive bays & expansion slot covers in Fractal case, nzxt white psu, sleeved black/white cables, dominator platinums.. the mainboard - sabertooth with its black cover is perfect for this build.. and special mention abt cable management - even "boutique" builders would envy this build.. as for the GPU, maybe u should go one step further with a KFA2 white-pcb card or this Inno3D! overall 9/10
Looks nice, but I don't know how I feel about the front being open right to the fans. I've had a 5k RPM fan almost take part of my finger off because it was running and I was being stupid. Looks nice, but I would put some sort of filter or shield over the fans for safety reasons, but that is just me. Other than that looks like a beauty.
This case would be awesome, facing away from you, but having it under your desk, facing towards you, maybe you might swing your foot, and there are some of your toes gone . But yeah, I still do really love have the fans exposed, it looks cool.
Thanx for your comments guys. Just to let you know fans are relatively slow - only 1000 rpm. Also i keep my pc on the desk and there are no kids or pets in the house. So in my case its pretty safe i'd say to keep it the way it is. Also regarding dust problem - it does get a little dusty but not too bad, i actually clean my pc one every 1-2 weeks so its not a big problem. lol, there is nothing like some nice reasonable criticism, lol i really appreciate your 5 man u r so cool, it'd be even nicer if u maybe explained this unusually high score you gave my build.
Very clean mod. Extra Points from me for the Sabertooth. 9/10 Ignore the troll...He ought to be banned he just drags down EVERY Casemod with his trash...
It might look cool but I've actually taken part of my finger off because sharp fan + 5000 RPMs = bye bye tip of finger. If they're not that fast then fine, but I have some 150 CFM fans that don't mess around and run about just as fast. I also have a 7 month old daughter and I can imagine her thinking that it looks cool so she will want to go touch it.
yes, I people do get fond of touching shiny spinny things, when I was a wee little child, nearly got my finger swallowed by a vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush on the end.

It would take months of sea travel, extensive scuba certifications, and fluency in several crustacean dialects to find—let alone interact with—all the creatures found in Ocean Explorium's interactive exhibits. The science center emphasizes environmental stewardship and scientific literacy through several educational habitats such as touch tanks of local aquatic wildlife—including New Bedford's world-famous scallops and schools of rays and sharks. The Living Laboratory exhibit brings visitors face to face with sea creatures such as baby sharks, shark egg cases, coral farm, and moon jellies. Beyond the up-close encounters with denizens of the deep, Ocean Explorium also enlightens patrons with a variety of non-living displays. The Explorer's Zone presents scientific experiments that reveal the workings of the natural world through hands-on exhibits themed around different weekly topics, and Discovery Bay enthralls children aged eight or younger with games, puzzles, and a sand and water table.

Faces of the Sunshine State Conference: Joe Cuda
Respectful. Determined. Talented. Successful. These are all terms that can easily be used to describe Eckerd College alumni and distinguished pitcher, Joe Cuda, who was recently drafted by the Saint Louis Cardinals in the Major League Baseball Draft of 2012 and is currently pitching for the Class A Batavia Muckdogs of the New York–Pennsylvania League.
Another word that describes him? Humble.
Simply put, Joe Cuda is not your average 5'9" righty from St. Petersburg, Florida. In fact, unlike most athletes, he lives by one rule and one rule only: hard work pays off.
Hard work has certainly paid off for Cuda, who holds a 6-1 record in the minors and continues to reach for the stars on his journey to become a Major League Baseball player. His 11 starts have earned him a 4.01 ERA in 51.2 innings pitched, striking out 43 and allowing only eight walks, yet he continues to keep moving forward.
"My biggest source of inspiration is to see how far I can go," says Cuda. "My main goal is to play Major League Baseball and be successful."
For someone with such big dreams and talent, Cuda's simple words of motivation have surely turned him into a strong representation for the Eckerd College community. At Eckerd's 2011-2012 Athletic Banquet, Cuda received the prestigious Male Harley Award and the Triton Award and was named the school's Most Valuable Player because of his exceptional leadership in the classroom, on the field, and in the community. In addition to collecting numerous awards during his senior year with the Tritons, Cuda's resume includes four Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of the Week awards, as well as three National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association South Region Pitcher of the Week awards. In his senior year alone, he was named to the All-Sunshine State Conference Second Team, the Daktronics All-South Region Second Team, and the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings All-South Region Gold Glove Team.
In addition to Cuda's many awards, Eckerd head baseball coach Bill Mathews is not afraid to speak highly of his former pitcher. "In my 22 years at Eckerd College, he's one of the top three arms that we've had in my tenure," said Mathews. "He always led by example in terms of how hard he worked, day in and day out. He's a true student of the game, as was exemplified by his ability to throw any pitch in any count for a strike."
What Cuda really wants to be remembered for, however, is his character. "I try to be the same person to everyone," he explains. "My mom is my biggest role model. I'm really thankful for her and her guidance; she instilled that doing the right thing pays off."
Although Cuda's words are simple and straightforward, Coach Mathews believes that Cuda's impact on the team comes from something much deeper than just a scorebook. "If you can bottle what [Cuda] has to offer, we'd all be pretty good coaches," said Mathews. "He's a great kid and he was a great example for our program and a great representative of Eckerd College."
In his decision to stay close to home after high school, Cuda chose Eckerd College as the next step in his career for simple reasons. "It was a good fit, a small school, and a place where I could get a great education and continue playing sports," says Cuda. "I'm thankful for the experiences and relationships that I've made with people at Eckerd and along the way."
His words are simple, appreciative, powerful, and honest.
And of course, they are humble.
