((Listen to this while you read, it makes it much easier to understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3QmD3BY7RU ))
Sebastian quirked an eyebrow as the garish music began to play. Jim had naturally insisted on using a record player, ironically the consulting criminal, master of disguise, liked his music to be authentic. He had only agreed to this because some small part of him wanted to see Jim dance, something that wasn't part of a disguise. He wanted to see Jim dance, not Jim from IT or Jo the Clubber.
Jim stepped over, dressed immaculately as per usual. He'd forced Sebastian into a suit too and the sniper gave him a wary smile. Jim returned it, though to Sebastian it seemed like more of a 'step on my shoes and I will murder you' smile than an 'I enjoy spending time with you' smile.
Sebastian placed his arms in the position Jim had explained earlier, and began to dance shakily as the lyrics began. He almost laughed and Jim's smile turned to a gleeful smirk.
"It seemed appropriate," he remarked, stepping his feet and not bothering to go slowly for Sebastian as the lyrics urged them to 'misbehave'. The sniper had a suspicion that if this foxtrot went well then they would indeed be 'misbehaving' later that evening.
After nearly twenty plays of the song, Sebastian finally managed to match Jim's confident steps, though he didn't go quite as exaggerated with his hips movements. He wouldn't be surprised if Jim had taught himself to foxtrot in a mere ten minutes for some obscure job, but the shorter man seemed to enjoy it. He beamed up at Sebastian smugly and the sniper couldn't help but feel a strong twinge of nostalgia, something that made him want to drink whiskey shots, take Jim in his arms and kiss him softly for once.
He shook his head at the idea, thinking himself ridiculous for feeling nostalgic of a time period he hadn't even lived in.
They finished their final dance an hour later, and Jim dragged him off to the bedroom. For one rare occasion, Sebastian actually preferred the warmth of Jim resting against his chest afterwards. He gazed almost lovingly down at the smaller man, petting his hair lazily and lying back, his eyes open as the garish song played on loop in his mind.
((Hope you liked it, sorry again for the long hiatus!))

Clean Water:
Further Implementation and Better Cost Data Needed to Determine Impact of EPA's Storm Water Program on Communities
GAO-07-479, May 31, 2007
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Urban storm water runoff is a major contributor to the nation's degraded waters. Under the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established a program requiring communities to obtain permits and implement activities to control storm water pollution. EPA's Phase I regulations (1990) applied to communities with populations of 100,000 or more, and its Phase II regulations (1999) covered smaller urban communities. Communities must report progress in meeting permit requirements. Some have raised concerns that storm water requirements impose an undue burden. To evaluate storm water program costs, EPA developed estimates for both phases. GAO was asked to (1) determine the progress in implementing the storm water program, (2) evaluate the extent to which the program burdens communities, (3) examine the accuracy of EPA's cost estimates, and (4) examine the data available for assessing program burden. GAO collected data for all states and a sample of 130 communities, among other steps.
Storm water program implementation has been slow for both Phase I and II communities. The federal deadlines for permit applications were years ago--14 years for Phase I and 4 years for Phase II--but almost 11 percent of all communities were not yet permitted as of fall 2006. In addition, litigation, among other reasons, delayed the issuance of some permits for years after the application deadlines. As a result, almost all Phase II and some Phase I communities are still in the early stages of program implementation. It is too early to determine the storm water program's overall burden, but several factors influence the extent to which the program burdens a community. In particular, burden varies depending on whether communities (1) can use the flexibility built into EPA's regulations to implement less expensive measures, or (2) are able to benefit from prior storm water management experience. Some communities may face a greater burden because of more stringent requirements set by EPA or the states, additional efforts required to address litigation over water quality, or because of barriers to obtaining funding for storm water activities. Storm water program burdens could increase in the future because, among other reasons, EPA or the states may reissue permits with more stringent requirements. Without an estimate of actual storm water program costs--or burden--GAO could not determine the accuracy of EPA's cost estimates. However, GAO did identify methodological concerns that raise questions about the usefulness of these estimates for measuring the burden communities face. That is, the Phase I analysis was not designed to estimate national program costs, the Phase II analysis was based on survey data of questionable validity and reliability, and neither analysis excluded costs for activities that communities were implementing before the program. Any assessment of program burden will be hampered because EPA is not collecting complete and consistent data on communities' activities and their costs. For example, only Phase I communities are required to include data on program costs and these data are often limited. Also, communities' inconsistent reporting of activities makes it difficult to evaluate program implementation nationwide. Consequently, EPA will find it challenging to meet its goal to examine Phase II implementation starting in 2012.
Status Legend:

- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: In order to enable EPA to evaluate the implementation of the storm water program, the Administrator, EPA, should issue additional program guidance and consider regulatory changes to ensure that (1) communities report on activities in sufficient detail to determine their scope, costs, and results; and (2) communities report this information consistently so that it can be analyzed on a national basis.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In a May 2007 report (GAO-07-479), we recommended that, to enable EPA to evaluate the implementation of the storm water program, EPA should issue additional program guidance and consider regulatory changes to ensure that (1) communities report on activities in sufficient detail to determine their scope, costs, and results; and (2) communities report this information consistently so that it can be analyzed on a national basis. We found that there were no specific national guidelines on what information communities should include in annual reports to their permitting authorities. As a result, some annual reports we reviewed were hundreds of pages long with detailed data on their activities, while others provided little evidence of the storm water activities being implemented or their costs. Consequently, we determined that it would be difficult for EPA to evaluate communities' storm water program activities and, in particular, to assess the burden of the program on communities nationwide. In June 2009, EPA finalized an annual report form for small municipal separate storm sewer systems implementing the storm water program and circulated this form to EPA regional and state storm water programs. EPA indicated that it was taking steps to encourage storm water permitting authorities to use the form and several states indicated they intended to use this form when they reissue relevant permits. In addition, EPA published new guidance for permit authorities issuing municipal storm water permits in April 2010. This guidance included EPA's annual report form along with a recommendation that permit authorities require use of the form when issuing storm water permits. Finally, EPA has also initiated a rulemaking process to make regulatory changes to the storm water program. One of the proposals for which EPA solicited comments was developing a consistent set of requirements for Phase I (large and medium) and Phase II (small) municipal storm sewer systems. According to EPA, while this proposed rulemaking is not focused on improving the quality of storm water program data, eliminating or reconciling differences within the program should help to improve the consistency of the data collected. According to information available on EPA's Web site, the agency intends to propose a rule in September 2011 and to take final action by November 2012.

2340 Perimeter Park Drive, Atlanta, GA | Directions
Mon-Sat 9am-6:30pm

I have been going to Sharon for the past couple of months because I was suffering from pretty severe acne. I'm talking congested, cystic stuff on my cheeks that was embarrassing and wearing down my self-esteem. I didn't go anywhere without makeup. After going to Sharon the first time, I noticed a huge difference, and again went for a second treatment. After the treatment, my ongoing home regiment, and new face wash products, I can honestly and VERY proudly say my skin looks 80% better to date. My pores are very obviously clear, no more cystic congestion all over my cheeks, I don't have to cake on makeup, and the only thing I have to worry about now is ridding myself of the light scarring and making sure those random pimples stay gone! I have another appointment on Wednesday and I can't wait! I find myself counting down the days til I go in for treatment because she is so encouraging, helpful and funny. My self-esteem is much higher because I don't have to worry so much about my face and all the red dots. I think it is important to say also I have been to an Esthetician before about 6 years ago, and Face Value is by far the best I've been to!
Over the last couple of years I've been having problems with my skin. Discoloration and acne. I was referred to Sharon and I really am pleased with the residuals from my treatment And so far the products have been working well for me. I will see her again.
FINALLY TRULY GREAT RESULTS!!!! I have suffered, yes, sufferd from extreme acne since my senior year of high school. I am now 23 and through the years I've tried oral medication (which does work wonders but who waneverything from going to a dermatologist whom have prescribed ts to take a pill for the rest of their life) and harsh topical treatments consisting of benzoyl peroxide (which does not work for my oily prone skin). I've even tried Proactive (did'nt work) and glycolic peels! I really got to the point of just accepting my acne because I thought it would never go away. I recently relocated to Atlanta for work and decided to give it one more try. I saw great reviews about Sharon and decided to give it a shot and it was a blessing. I recieve a salicylic chemical peel and a microdermabrasion and when I tell you she gave me top notch treatment, she did. It's been a month since my 1st treatment and by complying with the daily regiments she has discussed with me my breakouts have decreased tremendously and my dark acne scars are fading. I am scheduling another session with her this weekend!
as recommended by Sharon to always use a good facial cleanser and moisterizer....oh and dont forget to put suncreen ltn after each treatment....!!! my experience there on 03/16/2013 was amazing, Sharon is very courteous,professional,,accomodating to your needs and really makes you feel relaxed and did i mention ''PAMPERED'' wow.....i will be returning to her new ofc. location in April for a Sensi Peel..
yes,yes and YES i would recommend Face Value Estetics!!
I had an absolutely wonderful facial experience at Face Value recently. It was the most thorough facial I've ever had. Sharon is knowledgeable about skin care and gives you a full hour of uninterrupted treatments. I've been to other spas and paid for microderm treatment and that is all I got. Sharon did microderm with extraction, steam treamtent, pigment scrub and a mask with a peel. My skin was glowing and felt great. I have skin discoloration and saw improvement with one treatment. I am so pleased and excited to see her again in 2 weeks. The price will blow your mind! Exceptional service with the most bang for the buck!!! You have to give her a call and let her bring out the hidden beauty in your skin. Extremely professional, private and knowledgeable about skin care.
Signed...one happy customer!!!!
Great Experience with Sharon. Will be going back next month. she gave me great tips and my skin is looking better already.
I recently started getting extreme break-outs like numerous cysts on my face so that's when I decided to pay a visit to Sharon. She really knows a lot about skin and how to take care of it. It was my first facial and I can't say how happy I am that I made the decision to get one. It's now been 6 days since my facial and I'm already seeing results in my skin. All the cysts have deflated and now my skin is just working on healing. If you have problematic skin, I would definitely recommend going to Sharon for a facial so you can learn more about it and how to take care of it.
Sharon is the greatest!!!! I have always had low self esteem b/c of my skin but Sharon gave me hope that she can and will correct my issues and am already seeing the results!!! See ya next time Sharon!!
I cant say enough great things about Sharon - she is absolutely amazing!!! I am 28 years old and have had troublesome skin forever, but that has changed with only one trip to see Sharon. Within 48 hours of my first facial, I had 2 different people tell me how great my skin looked, and neither one knew that I had gotten a facial! Since I went to Face Value Esthetics a couple of weeks ago, my skin has improved drastically, and I havent had any of the breakout issues that I've experienced constantly over the past several years. Sharon is so smart about skin care, and she really cares about helping each individual client. Never again will I waste twice the amount of money getting facials at overpriced spas - those places do not hold a candle to the quality of the services Sharon provides. I am TRULY amazed with the results, and I cannot wait to go back in 2 weeks! I know I will be a regular customer from now on!!!
Sharon is amazing! I saw her about 2 weeks ago and I am so happy I did. She makes you feel very comfortable and is full of wonderful tips on how to improve your skin. I have had troubled skin for most of my life, but I feel like I gained so much knowledge after visiting her. I had microdermabrasion done and it felt awesome! Will definitely be revisiting her every 6-8 weeks :)

SEE THE PREMIERE PICTURESThe film's stars then headed to the majestic Royal Courts of Justice for the film's after-party, sponsored by Cirov Vodka and providing cocktails named after the film's most memorable moments, including Ravenna's Poison and Dark Forest Fusion. Stewart, who changed into a pair of jeans and trainers, was joined by her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson - who looked equally pared-down in a baseball hat. Theron's guest of honour came in the form of her mother, while Ross and her husband, director Rupert Sanders, danced along to the live band until the early hours.

Rossby wave
Atmospheric Rossby waves are giant meanders in high-altitude winds that are a major influence on weather.[1] They are not to be confused with oceanic Rossby waves, which move along the thermocline: that is, the boundary between the warm upper layer of the ocean and the cold deeper part of the ocean.
Rossby waves are a subset of inertial waves.
Atmospheric waves[edit]
Atmospheric Rossby waves emerge due to shear in rotating fluids, so that the Coriolis force changes along the sheared coordinate. In planetary atmospheres, they are due to the variation in the Coriolis effect with latitude. The waves were first identified in the Earth's atmosphere in 1939 by Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby who went on to explain their motion.
One can identify a Rossby wave in that its phase velocity (that of the wave crests) always has a westward component. However, the wave's group velocity (associated with the energy flux) can be in any direction. In general, shorter waves have an eastward group velocity and long waves a westward group velocity.
The terms "barotropic" and "baroclinic" Rossby waves are used to distinguish their vertical structure. Barotropic Rossby waves do not vary in the vertical, and have the fastest propagation speeds. The baroclinic wave modes are slower, with speeds of only a few centimetres per second or less.
Most work on Rossby waves has been done on those in Earth's atmosphere. Rossby waves in the Earth's atmosphere are easy to observe as (usually 4-6) large-scale meanders of the jet stream. When these deviations become very pronounced, they detach the masses of cold, or warm, air that become cyclones and anticyclones and are responsible for day-to-day weather patterns at mid-latitudes. Rossby waves may be partly responsible for the fact that eastern continental edges, such as the Northeast United States and Eastern Canada, are colder than Europe at the same latitudes.[2]
Free barotropic Rossby waves under a zonal flow with linearized vorticity equation[edit]
Let us start by perturbing a flow, u, with only a time and spatially invariant zonal flow U with no meridional component. The quantity u' represents the perturbation from U.
We assume the perturbation to be much smaller than the mean zonal flow.
Relative Vorticity , u and v can be written in term of the stream function (assuming non-divergent flow, for which the stream function completely describes the flow):
Considering a parcel of air that has no relative vorticity before perturbation (uniform U has no vorticity) but with planetary vorticity f as a function of the latitude, perturbation will lead to a slight change of latitude, so the perturbed relative vorticity must change in order to conserve potential vorticity. Also the above approximation U >> u' ensures that the perturbation flow does not advect relative vorticity.
with . Plug in the definition of stream function to obtain:
Guess a traveling wave solution with wave numbers k and l, and frequency omega:
We obtain the dispersion relation:
The zonal phase speed and group speed are given by
where c is the phase speed, is the group speed, U is the mean westerly flow, is the Rossby parameter, and k is the zonal wave number. The above proves that phase speed is always westward relative to mean flow, but group speed can travel both ways depending on the wave number; large zonal wave number waves (short waves) leads the mean flow, and small zonal wave number waves (long wave) retrogrades. The meaning of large and small only depends on the value of l; if l = k, then the group speed is the same as the mean zonal flow.
Meaning of Beta[edit]
The Rossby parameter is defined:
is the latitude, ω is the angular speed of the Earth's rotation, and a is the mean radius of the Earth.
If , there will be no Rossby Waves; Rossby Waves owe their origin to the gradient of the tangential speed of the planetary rotation (planetary vorticity). A "cylinder" planet has no Rossby Waves. It also means that near the equator on Earth where but except at the poles, one can still have Rossby Waves (Equatorial Rossby wave).
Poleward-propagating atmospheric Rossby waves[edit]
Deep convection and heat transfer to the troposphere is enhanced over anomalously warm sea surface temperatures in the tropics, such as during, but by no means limited to, El Niño events. This tropical forcing generates atmospheric Rossby waves that propagates poleward and eastward and are subsequently refracted back from the pole to the tropics.
Poleward propagating Rossby waves explain many of the observed statistical teleconnections between low latitude and high latitude climate, as shown in the now classic study by Hoskins and Karoly (1981).[3] Poleward propagating Rossby waves are an important and unambiguous part of the variability in the Northern Hemisphere, as expressed in the Pacific North America pattern. Similar mechanisms apply in the Southern Hemisphere and partly explain the strong variability in the Amundsen Sea region of Antarctica.[4] In 2011, a Nature Geoscience study using general circulation models linked Pacific Rossby waves generated by increasing central tropical Pacific temperatures to warming of the Amundsen Sea region, leading to winter and spring continental warming of Ellsworth Land and Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica via an increase in advection.[5]
Oceanic waves[edit]
Oceanic Rossby waves are thought to communicate climatic changes due to variability in forcing, due to both the wind and buoyancy. Both barotropic and baroclinic waves cause variations of the sea surface height, although the length of the waves made them difficult to detect until the advent of satellite altimetry. Observations by the NASA/CNES TOPEX/Poseidon satellite confirmed the existence of oceanic Rossby waves.[6]
Baroclinic waves also generate significant displacements of the oceanic thermocline, often of tens of meters. Satellite observations have revealed the stately progression of Rossby waves across all the ocean basins, particularly at low- and mid-latitudes. These waves can take months or even years to cross a basin like the Pacific.
Rossby waves have been suggested as an important mechanism to account for the heating of Europa's ocean.[7]

A Message from the Director of Alumni Relations
It's the beginning of yet another school year! Which means the halls are buzzing with excitement and campus is full of a renewed energy. Like any new school year, this year brings about some exciting changes. There are a few new names and faces in the halls (including Villa alumni, Colleen Desmond, our newest High School Chemistry teacher), not to mention a new, exciting way for the Academy to communicate with our families and friends... our website!
For those of you who I have not had the pleasure to meet, my name is Neena Volk. I started with the Academy a year ago as the Director of Communications. As the Advancement Department, continues to develop, I have now taken on the additional role of Director of Alumni Relations, which is an opportunity I am looking forward to! Although I am still relatively new to Villa, it became apparent in my first few weeks just how special of a place Villa Madonna Academy truly is. One thing that makes it such a remarkable place is its caring community made up of families (past & present), faculty & staff and Alumni.
While not a Villa graduate myself, I am a Northern Kentucky native and the tradition of excellence in education at Villa Madonna Academy and the success of its Alumni is no secret. The opportunity to communicate with Villa alumni and connect with those who care so much about the school is an opportunity that I do not take for granted. I'm excited to continue to meet more Alumni as I take on this new role. We will be hosting new events this year based upon your feedback, while keeping the events you have grown to love. I hope to form an Alumni Committee, in which members can act as an advisory council. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas you may have, keep us updated on where you are and what you're doing, and be sure to "Follow" us on Twitter and "Like" us on Facebook. It's a great way to stay connected!
Exciting things are happening at the Academy....won't you be a part of it?
Kind Regards,
Neena Volk
Director of Communications & Alumni Relations

While looking for kayak put-ins this past weekend, I found a tiny jewel along Route 5 in Wanakah, where a former water processing building has been converted into a Seaway Trail Center. Although the center wasn't open at the time, a viewing deck with benches, a stairway down to the water, and a short trail with picnic bench encouraged me to brave a brisk wind to watch the whitecaps and the sun set.

The group began carrying out suicide bombings on civilian and military Israeli targets in the mid 1990s. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Hamas is believed to have killed more than 500 people in more than 350 separate terrorist attacks since 1993.
What are the Izzedine al Qassam Brigades?
The Izzedine al Qassam Brigades are the armed wing of Hamas, responsible for carrying out attacks on Israel. Like the wider Hamas organization, the aim of the Brigades is the creation of a Palestinian state.
Beginning in the mid-1990s, the Brigades began a campaign of attacks against military targets and civilians that included suicide bombings, car bombings, and rocket attacks in Israel, as well as attacks on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, before Israel's pullout, in Gaza.
However, since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, the Brigades have "transformed from an underground guerrilla organization into a uniformed military force designed to protect Gaza from outside attack," according to the International Crisis Group.
In 2009, the ICG estimated that the Brigades -- which have been led by Mohammed Deif since 2002 -- were made up of 7,000 to 10,000 full time members, with a further 20,000 reserves. They are armed with small arms coupled with short- and medium-range rockets and surface-to-air missiles.
"In Hamas' view, Israel only responds to military force -- they would say that in previous conflicts, in Lebanon and in Gaza, Israel were 'chased out,' by Hezbollah, or by Hamas. They would say that if you try to be nice, like [Fatah leader Mahmoud] Abbas, you're never going to get anywhere," Blecher said. "For them, armed struggle is a strategic choice that won't disappear until they achieve their strategic goal."
What is Hamas' role in Gaza?
Hamas operates schools, hospitals and religious institutions, soup kitchens and orphanages in Gaza and the West Bank, and runs an effective social welfare program in the territories, cementing the group's popularity among Palestinians.
After boycotting elections for many years, Hamas participated in Palestinian parliamentary polls for the first time in 2006. Running as the "Change and Reform Party," the group won a landslide victory, securing a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority formed a short-lived coalition government with Hamas. The Palestinian Authority's Mahmoud Abbas retained the presidency and leading Hamas member Ismail Haniya became prime minister.
The following year, however, Abbas dissolved the government and declared a state of emergency. Haniya rejected Abbas' actions, and in the summer of 2007 Hamas seized power in Gaza. Haniya remains the de facto political leader in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces have accused Hamas of turning the Gaza Strip into "a frontal base for Iran, forcing Israeli citizens to live under unbearable circumstances."
Israel also accuses Hamas of using civilians in Gaza as a "human shield," and the territory's schools and hospitals as a cover for military hardware. "They bury their military infrastructure inside civilian areas," said Regev, the Netanyahu spokesman.
Where does its support stem from?
Hamas has an annual budget of $70 million, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Much of its financial backing comes from expatriate Palestinians, private donors in the Middle East, and Muslim charities. Since its election win in 2006, it has also had public funding.
Hamas also receives significant financial aid from Iran, the council reports, though it says that the group has recently begun distancing itself from its long-time sponsor in protest of Tehran's backing for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his regime's crackdown on anti-government activists. Israel alleges that, along with funding, Iran provides Hamas with arms and military training.
However, Meshaal told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in November 2012 that the two countries were still close. "The relationship with Iran is present, but, yes, it was affected and harmed by our, our disagreement about Syria. It is not as it used to be in the past, but there is no severing of relations."
"Hamas, as a movement of resistance, with a cause for a people living under occupation, we seek -- not just wait to get -- support, financial support, military support, political support from all over the world, from all the states in the world," Meshaal said. "Everyone giving us support, whether it's from Iran or Europe, from anywhere. Any state supporting us or killing the occupiers, we welcome them and we thank them."
Hamas enjoys widespread backing from the general population in Gaza, due to its social welfare program. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, "[its] efforts in this area -- as well as a reputation for honesty, in contrast to the many Fatah officials accused of corruption -- help to explain its broad popularity."

Some Sonoma suggestions:
If you like Pinot Noir, I love visiting Siduri in Santa Rosa (great pinots, lots of different single vineyard wines to taste, great people) but it is just a warehouse in an industrial park.
Copain has great Pinot and Syrah and a very nice new facility (probably fits both criteria).
There are quite a few nice tasting rooms in and around healdsburg - Holdredge, Davis Family are two favorites
William Selyem
Many of the above require an appointment, so definitely call ahead.

Sorry for being off-topic but wanted to throw another idea out there.

I wish I had more time to explore El Dorado county, that sounds like more my speed. I don't think I can give up 5 hours of drive time though considering I only have a few days.

Howell Mountain - Ladera (I used to work there), O'Shaughnessy, Outpost, Neal...
Spring Mountain - Smith-Madrone, Pride, Terra Valentine...
Mt. Veeder - Hess, Robert Craig, Mt. Veeder Winery...
Have you decided where to eat yet? Tyler Florence's new Rotisserie & Wine has a pretty fabulous selection of potted meats, Terra has a newly-opened boutique cocktail bar, Bouchon's mussels are to die-for.

The two clunkers in there are for my wife. Honestly, she would be happier riding the bus with the visor and fanny pack crowd. And we're driving to Calistoga from Napa on Saturday morning which should be a real joy. It should be ok, I'm from Philadelphia. We invented heavy traffic :)

Arista is very good as well if you cannot get into WS
If you are in Healdsburg, do yourself a favor and eat at Cyrus.
IMO it was better than TFL, and almost half the price!

Also, Rubicon is Francis Coppola's place and it has both great wines and lots of interesting movie memorabilia. It's also one of the most beautiful estates in Napa.
Both of these can be kind of touristy places but in May it shouldn't be that bad. If you were going during harvest (August-September), I would be more concerned about staying off the beaten path.

Particularly enjoyed Taste of Terroir which is owned by Jean Charles Boisset, of the Burgundian wine mogul family (who, rather curiously, married Gina Gallo). They do comparative tastings of California Pinot Noir and Chardonnays versus their Burgundian counterparts. Fascinating and educational.
Some good restaurants there as well.

Here's an update on the wineries we're planning on visiting.

I go to Napa valley often.
I wouldn't bother with a list. Drive north to Calistoga with some general idea of where you'd like to go. But that's it. Sometimes a little roadside winery will "speak to you" and you should pull over. Or there could be three busloads of obnoxious Chinese tourists at Montalena, and trust me, you'll want to skip that.
It's the small, little-known wineries that I find to be the most fun -- where you can actually talk to the vintner, because he's also pouring in the tasting room because it's just him and some family members.
Also, I can't possibly do more than four wineries in a day, otherwise I would be afraid to drive. (Then again, I don't spit. I won't spit out something that so many people spent so much time to put in front of me. I'd rather drink less.)
Don't try to over do it. Better to have a great time in three good wineries than to feel rushed at EIGHT. I can't imagine trying to do eight in a day -- especially on a Saturday when the crowds are swarming. That's just not enough time. Block out 2-3 hours for Amarosa alone.

I wrote up a long blog entry at The Easy Bohemian but here's the executive summary.
These places rocked my world: Schug, Smith Madrone, Pride
Followed hot on their heels by: Terra Valentine, Whitehall Lane, B Cellars, Madonna Estate and Castello di Amarosa (it is worth the crowds if only to marvel at the attention to every last detail)
These I would skip: Gloria Ferrer (go to Domaine Carneros instead for sparkling), Jacuzzi(unless you're bored, it's a nice setting), V. Sattui (avoid at all costs)
Whew! That was a lot to slam into three days. I have to say by the time dinner at Bouchon rolled around after doing four wineries I was roasted. Three is better, four is rough. I enjoyed talking to Charlie Smith at Smith Madrone, that was maybe the most enjoyable hour and a half of the entire trip
I agree with the no spit sentiment. It seems like such an insult, like spitting in the wine maker's face. I end up tasting once and pouring out the rest.
As an aside, Chateau Montelena pissed me off big time. They were closed for a private event for the entire day Saturday with no prior notice. This was a real joy to learn after driving from Napa proper all the way up to Calistoga. It worked out in the end, we found B Cellars which we really enjoyed.

These places rocked my world: Schug, Smith Madrone, Pride
We just went to Napa last weekend and visited Smith Madrone. It was awesome. They were only pouring two wines, the Chardonnay and the Cabernet and they were both excellent. They also gave us a taste of the Riesling that hadn't been bottled yet, also tasty. What was better was that Charles spent two hours with us. We talked about growing grapes and making the wine, of course. We also talked about history of Napa, Bottle Shock, science, history of science, psychology of pricing, etc. This is a man that loves what he does and it shows. It was a ton of fun and very interesting. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll be back.
Another place we really enjoyed at the other end of the valley was Silenus. This isn't a winery per-se but rather a collective of very vintners. They had a tremendous variety of wines from a dozen different vintners all made in that facility. It was really interesting to see how different all the wines were. Jim was pouring the wine and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We found several that we really liked.

I'm still in college and im going with a buddy of mine, so we're not exactly able to sleep at the Hilton or whatever it is. I can't exactly imagine Napa or Sonoma for having cheap accomodation (didn't they stay in a motel in Sideways?), but since that's the case, which is cheaper - Napa or Sonoma?
Also looking at the tasting fees for some of the more upscale places, they can be pretty expensive (up to like $50). Any thoughts on cheaper places? From what I've read so far, whats on my mind anyway is this:
Smith Madrone
Schug Winery
B Cellars
Madonna Estates
Duckhorn (i know, probably wont be cheap, but hey its an icon)
Stags Leap (same)
Ch. Montelena (same)
thanks for any suggestions!

congrats on bringing formex to the mkt, looks like it will be a hit. a few questions for you.
Would Formex be an apporpriate PCT for a product like Epistane given epi already exhibits anti-estrogen characteristicst? Given Formex is a strong anti-e, i get the impression it could potentiate further joint issues after running something like epi for 4-5 weeks.
While i think it would be a great PCT for other AAS, i would love to hear your input on how it would work after a epi cycle.
Also, as a a stand alone maintenence sup, would it need to be cycled?

Test Driven: 2012 BMW 135i

The 1-Series has been around since 2008 in America, and has been reasonably successful in the USA. Since I felt like seeing what the turbocharged inline six felt like in BMW's lightest 4-place car, the 1-Series was a natural fit. I was not disappointed. Read the rest of this entry »

The NFL Players Association has asked a federal judge for a temporary restraining order that would allow players suspended in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation to rejoin their teams in time to play regular season openers.
The union, which filed the motion Tuesday on behalf of New Orleans defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, argues the players will suffer irreparable harm if they are forced to miss games while their case against the league proceeds.
Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma had already filed a similar motion when his full-season suspension began earlier. The other three players' suspensions began this week.
The players ultimately want their suspensions thrown out because they argue the disciplinary process was fundamentally flawed and unfair.
U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan, who is hearing the case, has said she found the league's handling of the bounty matter to be unfair to the players and their punishments excessive, but she has also said she is not yet comfortable that federal courts have jurisdiction to rule on a process that was collectively bargained between the union and the league.

Inspirational Quotes, Motivational Sayings
Don't just go through life, grow through it for life comes to you only once. Never to return. Climb the ladder of life, step by step.
Life keeps getting better for those who are committed to working for a better life.
- Dr T.P.Chia
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning!
Success does not lie in "Results" but in "Efforts",
"Being" the best is not so important,
"Doing" the best is all that matters…
Never worry about the past, it brings tears. Don't think too much about the future, it brings fears. Live in the present moment with a smile it brings cheers !!
Happiness is a shadow. If you chase it, it moves further away. But if you turn to make others happy, it will follow you. Make other happy and be happy.
Enthusiasm is a power that can give dreams to the dreamless, life to the lifeless, and hope to the hopeless.
Set higher goals, work hard, and achieve them. But never forget who you were and who has helped you in the process, after reaching top of the ladder of success.
I believe in creating history, than reading it. Everyone can read history, but only few can create it.
If your dream was to have a million dollar and if you got it without earning it, you would not be as happy as you would, by earning it. It's not the achievement of goals that makes us happy, but looking through all the hardship that we have gone through to earn it.
Life is made up of moments. Moments create days, days create months, months create years, years create life. Lose the moment and you lose life.
I invite and acknowledge only positive thoughts and people who create happiness in my life.
Even some of the greatest people in life, started out as nothing.
When the toughest of the problems strike me, I just remind myself that God is on my side.
Determining your goal + having persistence to achieve it = reaching your goal
I just want to live till I die. I want to open my wings and fly.
Move on, don't let the little things of life hold you back. Forget, forgive, and move on.
In life what you aspire will transpire – be it loss or gain, sun or rain, joy or pain.
Difficult doesn't mean impossible. It simply means that you have to work hard.
First, know where you want to go. Then, go where you want to go. You are your own pilot and you can choose your destination.
I am the richest man on earth because I am the happiest man on earth. After all, isn't happiness the greatest wealth in life?
Don't worry about everything that could possibly go wrong. Instead, act, and deal with obstacles as they arrive.
Just like waves in the ocean come and go, no challenge is permanent. Problems will come and go too. We must enjoy the challenges just like we enjoy the waves.
Life is like an hourglass. The grains of sand drop one by one and then it's all over. Live before you die.
When life puts you in tough situations, don't say why me? Just say try me!
Don't ever let anyone break your soul. You have to stand on your own two feet and fight. There are those who would so anything to see you fall. Never give them the satisfaction. Hold your head up high. Put a smile on your face and stand your ground.
Life is a gift. Never forget to enjoy and bask in every moment you are in.
Why destroy this morning, by a past that is dead & gone and a future not yet born!
Be thankful that you are on your feet, for there are people who can't even walk down the street.
Do you want to make your life exciting? Then find a purpose that will make you jump out of bed each day with enthusiasm, power and excitement.
Celebrate life. Unless you celebrate each day of life, you are not truly living. Let each day be a festival of joy.
It starts with dreams – dreams create desires, desires create determination, which leads us to our destiny.
Problems are like balloons. We let them unnecessarily blow up.
Why regret that I lived miserably yesterday. Rather, why not commit and resolve to live happily today.
Learn to be positive always. In pleasure or pain, in sun or rain, in loss or gain, always be positive!

A professional poker player whose astounding luck at the table fails to translate into his lonesome love life attempts to win the World Series of Poker while simultaneously earning the affections of a beautiful Las Vegas singer in a high-stakes emotional drama from L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson and Munich screenwriter Eric Roth. When his personal problems threaten to distract him from what could be his biggest win ever, seasoned poker pro Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) finds comfort in the company of singer Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). Upon preparing for the biggest card game in the country, however, Huck soon realizes that his problems have only just begun when he finds that his opponent at the table will be none other than his estranged father, L.C. (Robert Duvall), a poker legend whose mythical reputation makes him a more than worthy opponent for his troubled son. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this bizarre drama that would seem to have "cult item" written all over it, Francis (Aidan Gillen) is a severely introverted young man with a speech impediment who shares a shabby apartment with his bedridden mother, Sal (Susan Tyrrell). Francis has developed certain voyeuristic tendencies which are satisfied through his job in a photo lab, where he helps process other people's snapshots all day. Soon Sal has a new boarder, a massive plumber named Vic (Mark Boone Junior), and Francis notices that a beautiful woman has moved in across the street -- who, to his delight, never draws her curtains. One day, while walking home, Francis sees the woman being attacked by a mugger, and he's able to rescue her. The grateful woman introduces herself as Gloria (Emmanuelle Seigner) and begins flirting with Francis; the evening ends with Francis in Gloria's bed, hardly able to believe his good fortune. However, he can't help watching her from across the street, and when the staunchly vegetarian Gloria is gobbling down some meat, he begins to suspect that not everything is what it seems to be, leading him into a labyrinth of violence and murder. The score was composed by Michael Brook, with contributions from Brian Eno. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Passion
Angelus (David Boreanaz) continues to wreak havoc on Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), slipping into her home and leaving her threatening drawings. A frightened Buffy works with Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) to create a spell that would cancel Angel's invitation into her house and banish him forever, though Giles still has a great deal on his mind as he struggles through a difficult period with Jenny (Robia La Morte). Proving he's a demon with loyalties to no one, Angelus also begins tormenting Spike (James Marsters) by attempting to seduce Drusilla (Juliet Landau). The tension is almost too much for Buffy, and she has a long heart-to-heart talk with her mother (Kristine Sutherland). Angelus, meanwhile, knows that Jenny is secretly trying to translate the spell that would restore his soul, and he will stop at nothing to prevent her from succeeding. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Actor Billy Crystal co-wrote, directed, and starred in this romantic comedy. Forty-something couple Andy (Joe Mantegna) and Liz (Cynthia Stevenson) are about to be married, and as they gather with their friends for dinner not long before the wedding, they are told the story of their mutual friends Mickey (Billy Crystal) and Ellen (Debra Winger) as a cautionary tale of where a relationship can go wrong. Mickey is a top referee with the NBA who has traveled to Paris to bury his father, who wanted to be laid to rest with his Army buddies from World War II. The body is somehow lost in transit, and Mickey has an argument with Ellen, who works for an American airline in France. However, she likes his sense of humor, he is taken with her, and after a few days together in Paris, they decide to marry. However, once they return to Mickey's home in the United States, things get complicated; she's not so sure that she cares for his bachelor apartment ("a shrine to watching ESPN"), or juggling her career against his, while both have problems with their respective families. Several major basketball stars and sports figures appear in Forget Paris as themselves, including Charles Barkley, Bill Walton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Marv Albert. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Married... With Children: Get Outta Dodge
Just as he is prepared to sell his old Dodge, Al (Ed O'Neill) is approached by an auto executive who offers him a chance to appear in a commercial--with a bikini model by his side--in which the Bundy's car hits the One Million Mile mark. Now it is up to Al to keep both the car and himself alive for the occasion, lest he lose his opportunity to drive home in a brand-new Viper. Elsewhere, Kelly (Christina Applegate) doesn't quite understand that "Where's Waldo" is a game and not a lifelong quest. This episode was trimmed for syndication after September 11, 2001, to remove an ominous reference to sabotage at the Sears Tower. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote this satiric comedy which lampoons a number of cinematic treatments of the legend of Sherwood Forest, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Adventures of Robin Hood. Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is in exile and that the despotic King John (Richard Lewis) now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees).
