The Ghost in the GMO Machine
Independent research shows that Chlorpyrifos, an insecticide used in Kaua'i's GMO fields, can cause significant harm to children, but Dow Chemical is intent on convincing the EPA otherwise
The bodies and minds of children living on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i are being threatened by exposure to chlorpyrifos, a synthetic insecticide that is heavily sprayed on fields located near their homes and schools.
For decades, researchers have been publishing reports about children who died or were maimed after exposure to chlorpyrifos, either in the womb or after birth. While chlorpyrifos can no longer legally be used around the house or in the garden, it is still legal to use on the farm. But researchers are finding that children aren't safe when the insecticide is applied to nearby fields.

Like a ghost drifting through a child's bedroom window, the airborne insecticide can settle on children's skin, clothes, toys, rugs, and furnishings.
In fact, it's likely that the only people who needn't worry about exposure to chlorpyrifos are adults living far from the fields in which it is sprayed. That includes civil servants who work for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which regulates the stuff, and executives with Dow Chemical, the company that manufactures it.
In a regulatory process known as re-registration, the EPA will decide in 2015 whether it still agrees that chlorpyrifos is safe for farming, or whether it will order a complete ban, as Earthjustice, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Pesticide Action Network have demanded in lawsuits filed in 2007 and in 2014.
Dow has long insisted that its chlorpyrifos products are safe, despite tens of thousands of reports of acute poisoning and multiple studies linking low-level exposures to children with lower IQ. The company also has a long history — going back decades — of concealing from the public the many health problems it knew were linked to chlorpyrifos.
In 1995, the EPA found that Dow had violated federal law by covering up its knowledge of these health problems for years. In 2004, then-New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer found that Dow had been lying about the known dangers of the pesticide in its advertising for nearly as long. Together, the EPA and the State of New York have levied fines against the …more

What's Wrong With the Radical Critique of the People's Climate March
The movement to stop climate change needs both mass mobilizations and direct action.
Last Sunday, we joined 400,000 people in the People's Climate March (PCM) to demand action on climate change. The next day, we joined with 3,000 others to participate in Flood Wall Street (FWS), disrupting business as usual and naming capital as the chief culprit of climate change.
photo by South Bend Voice, on Flickr
In the days leading up to these mobilizations, a few critics on the left framed a stark dichotomy between these two kinds of actions. The PCM was cast as a depoliticized, corporate-friendly sellout, in contrast to more militant direct action, which Flood Wall Street soon emerged to organize. Chris Hedges, for example, called the PCM "the last gasp of climate change liberals," and argued that the real resistance would come afterward "from those willing to breach police barricades." Resistance, according to Hedges, can only be effective "when we turn from a liberal agenda of reform to embrace a radical agenda of revolt." Likewise, Arun Gupta accused PCM of spending too much money on subway advertisements and wondered how much political value a march can have when mainstream politicians and other elites felt comfortable enough to march in it.
Surely there are critiques to be made of last week's mobilization – there is always room for improvement. But last Sunday's march was an important step toward building a popular movement for climate justice, which, in turn, is a necessary condition for more radical actions – like the ones FWS organized. The dichotomy between the PCM and FWS is a false one. What the world saw last week in New York was a vibrant movement ecosystem in which a broad mobilization and its radical edges engaged in a critical interplay.
What Hedges overlooks is how easily direct acts of revolt can be dismissed or repressed, if they are carried out by a small number of people who are not visibly tied to a broader social base. This is why Flood Wall Street's mobilization in relation to the PCM was so vital. To grasp this relationship requires us to shed the dichotomous thinking that pits this vs. that and us vs. them – too often extended to even our closest allies – and that …more

The Risky Business of Building on Sand
In Review: Shored Up
Three years ago, when I was reporting on a story on climate change adaptation, the Environmental Protection Agency's sea level rise expert James Titus told me that "managing human expectations" was by far the toughest part of figuring out how to adapt our lifestyles to a quickly changing world. This is especially true in coastal areas where, as the waters rise, we will have to make value judgments about which places to let go and which places to save by trying to hold back the sea. (Trouble is, no one expects to be the ones to be asked to let go.)
Photo courtesy Shored Up
The documentary Shored Up shows that we have, in fact, already been making those value judgments, and so far, the decisions have neither been egalitarian nor, some would argue, sound calls.
The United States is a largely coastal nation. About 123 million, or 39 percent, of the country's 300 million people live in coastal counties, which make up a mere 20 percent of the nation's land area. There are enough reports and studies out there now that show how these coastal communities are at grave risk from climate change. Yet, more and more people are flocking to these communities. So what do you do when a mega-storm like Sandy hits or when slow beach erosion eats at the foundations of beachside homes? Which homes do you save? Which shoreline communities do you protect from future disasters of this kind?
Using TV footage from Hurricane Sandy and past severe storms, interviews with Sandy survivors, scientists, politicians and activists, as well as neat, hand-drawn animation, Shored Up explores these questions and highlights how heavy development along the nation's coastline has put us in a tough predicament. And it shows how, usually, it's the ones with the money — think $2 to $6 million "supersized McBeach" holiday homes — that get bailed out.
Director and producer Ben Kalina had set out to make a film in 2009 about the state of barrier islands and the Army Corps of Engineers' expensive beach replenishment process, that's basically a Sisyphean effort to pile sand up on the …more

Across the US, Cities Struggle to Figure Out How to Accommodate Urban Farming
Widespread interest in urban agriculture is forcing local authorities to re-examine rules that prohibit farming in cities
Sacramento has worked diligently over the past two years to brand itself as America's farm-to-fork capital, hosting local food festivals, wine tastings, and gala dinners featuring the city's premier chefs. Tickets for this year's dinner, at $175 dollars each, sold out in five minutes. The Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau has even organized a cattle drive and tractor parade through downtown.
photo by Robert Couse-Baker, on Flickr
Sure, nearly 1.4 million acres of farmland exist around the city, which is located in California's vast and fertile Central Valley region, and the climate is amenable to growing produce year-round (drought complications notwithstanding). But there are no urban farms in Sacramento. The closest and most prominent urban farm, the 55-acre Soil Born Farms, exists outside the city limits.
Sacramento is relatively progressive when it comes to gardening: The city already allows frontyard vegetable gardens, urban chickens, and community gardens on private land and runs 13 community gardens on public land. But farming – that is, growing crops to sell – has fallen behind.
In response to urging from the Sacramento Urban Agriculture Coalition – which went so far as to draft its own proposed urban agriculture ordinance – the city may amend its municipal code to clear the way for residents interested in growing and selling produce by allowing farming as a primary land use in all zones, not only agricultural: that includes residential, commercial, and industrial.
The city has proposed an urban agriculture ordinance that would allow the cultivation of crops in residential areas up to 1 acre in size, in commercial areas up to 3 acres, and in industrial areas with no size restriction. Produce stands, greenhouses, and hoop-houses would be allowed, while mechanized farm equipment such as tractors would be prohibited after initial site preparation. The ordinance would also create an incentive zone providing reduced property taxes for agricultural plots.
But the urban agriculture coalition members were taken aback during a recent planning and design commission meeting when they learned that the city's proposal would limit produce sales from these farms to areas where agriculture was the "primary use." People who grow at homes, schools, or churches …more

Rwanda Launches Project to Rid Its Freshwater Lakes of Suffocating Weed
Initiative to remove water hyacinth from lakes is part of a long-term effort to restore the African nation's fragile ecosystems
Nestled within Africa's Great Lakes region, landlocked Rwanda is dotted with many beautiful and ecologically diverse freshwater lakes that sustain numerous fishing communities. The amazing array of bird life at these lakes, including the largest and most spectacular Lake Kivu, draw tourists from all over the world. However, Rwanda's lakes, as well other major freshwater bodies in the Great Lakes region, are being slowly suffocated by water hyacinth – a free-floating perennial native to South America that can be an aggressive invader.
Over the past few decades, lakes such as Kivu, Cyohoha, Ruhondo, Burera, Mugesera and Rweru have become overrun with water hyacinth, which forms thick, floating mats that cover large surfaces and affect aquatic life by sucking oxygen out of the water.
The Rwandan government has now launched a campaign to remove the plant from its lakes as part of a five-year initiative dubbed "SupportingEcosystem Rehabilitation and Protection for Pro-poor Green Growth Program" (SERPG) that aims to preserve the country's natural resources and boost its green economy.
The lake clean-up campaign spearheaded by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), is first tackling Lake Cyohoha, one of the worst-affected lakes in Rwanda's eastern Bugesera district, where volume of water hyacinth is so high that it has nearly halted all fishing activities. The 16-mile lake straddles the nations of Burundi and Rwanda. Its watershed extends 196 square miles of which, 53.6 sq miles lie in Rwanda.
Water hyacinth have been reducing the lake's water quantity as well as impeding fishing activities that are vital to the livelihoods of communities surrounding them, says REMA deputy director general Colletta Ruhamya. More than 94,000 people live by the lake, and about 30,000 Rwandans depend on it for their survival. (Though badly affected, Lake Cyohoha is still producing some fish – about 1.2 tons per month, according to officials.) According to REMA, Lake Cyohoha used to be a large lake until the year 2000 when the encroaching water hyacinth made the water undrinkable, leading to an acute water shortage in the region.
REMA embarked on the Lake Cyohoha …more

Earth Has Lost Half of Its Wildlife in the Past 40 Years, Says WWF
Species across land, rivers and seas decimated as humans kill for food in unsustainable numbers and destroy habitats
Photograph: Global Warming Images/WWF-Canon
The number of wild animals on Earth has halved in the past 40 years, according to a new analysis. Creatures across land, rivers and the seas are being decimated as humans kill them for food in unsustainable numbers, while polluting or destroying their habitats, the research by scientists at WWF and the Zoological Society of London found.
"If half the animals died in London zoo next week it would be front page news," said Professor Ken Norris, ZSL's director of science. "But that is happening in the great outdoors. This damage is not inevitable but a consequence of the way we choose to live." He said nature, which provides food and clean water and air, was essential for human wellbeing.
"We have lost one half of the animal population and knowing this is driven by human consumption, this is clearly a call to arms and we must act now," said Mike Barratt, director of science and policy at WWF. He said more of the Earth must be protected from development and deforestation, while food and energy had to be produced sustainably.
The steep decline of animal, fish and bird numbers was calculated by analysing 10,000 different populations, covering 3,000 species in total. This data was then, for the first time, used to create a representative "Living Planet Index" (LPI), reflecting the state of all 45,000 known vertebrates.
"We have all heard of the FTSE 100 index, but we have missed the ultimate indicator, the falling trend of species and ecosystems in the world," said Professor Jonathan Baillie, ZSL's director of conservation. "If we get [our response] right, we will have a safe and sustainable way of life for the future," he said.
If not, he added, the overuse of resources would ultimately lead to conflicts. He said the LPI was an extremely robust indicator and had been adopted by UN's internationally-agreed Convention on Biological Diversity as key insight into biodiversity.

It's Official! California Is Now the First US State to Ban Plastic Bags
Environmentalists celebrate, but say tackling widespread plastic pollution needs national and global-level action
After an insistent year-long campaign by environmentalists and citizen activists, today Governor Jerry Brown signed into law SB 270, a bill that prohibits the use of single-use plastic bags in grocery and retail stores throughout California, making it the first state in the nation to institute such a ban.
Photo byBill McDonald,Algalita Foundation / Heal The Bay
The bill, introduced by state senator Alex Padilla from Los Angeles, goes beyond a simple "bag ban." Recognizing that removing plastic bags is only one strategy in the battle against wasteful consumption of both renewable and nonrenewable resources, the bill also requires that a surcharge of at least 10 cents be levied on paper bags, compostable bags, and even reusable plastic bags.
Response from environmental organizations is celebratory – but not jubilant. "It's clear that there is a growing grassroots movement not just in California but across the country to stop plastic pollution," says Dianna Cohen, CEO of Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC), an Earth Island Institute project. "Our coalition consists of over 380 NGOs, businesses, and prominent individuals from around the world, all dedicated in their own ways to bringing about a measurable reduction of single-use and disposable plastics — plastic shopping bags, plastic bottles, and straws being the most pervasive." Cohen is one of many environmental leaders quick to add, however, that the passing of this legislation is "just the tip of the plastic pollution iceberg."
"This is a global environmental crisis – there is no place on earth remote enough not be touched by plastic pollution," she says. "Which is why the movement is global — it has to be. This global network is growing, thanks to dozens of organizations, locally, nationally and world-wide."
Leslie Tamminen, director of the Clean Seas Coalition and part of Seventh Generation Advisors, agrees that stopping the epidemic of plastic waste takes more than bans and laws. It takes "wide and sustainable changes in consumer behavior. Data from the over 121 local plastic bag bans has proven that bans are effective at reducing litter and changing consumer attitudes, and have refuted industry's claims of apocalyptic impacts on jobs and poor communities. A state plastic bag ban saves taxpayers the huge amount of money spent on litter cleanup, …more

Things I Own #8: Friday the 13th Air Freshener.
I just opened this. The odor was…surprising.
I wasn't expecting rotting flesh, but I figured it'd at least be something "woodsy."
Nuh uh. It's like a hundred boxes of Post Blueberry Morning mixed with thirty cans of Lysol, condensed into a tiny slice of horrific cardboard.
The smell does not at all evoke thoughts of Jason Voorhees or Camp Crystal Lake.
But it does make me really miss Grandma.

Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That Houseby Meghan Daum
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the acclaimed author and columnist: a laugh-out-loud journey into the world of real estate—the true story of one woman's "imperfect life lived among imperfect houses" and her quest for the four perfect walls to call home.
After an itinerant suburban childhood and countless moves as a grown-up—from New York City to Lincoln, Nebraska; from the Midwest to the West Coast and back—Meghan Daum was living in Los Angeles, single and in her mid-thirties, and devoting obscene amounts of time not to her writing career or her dating life but to the pursuit of property: scouring Craigslist, visiting open houses, fantasizing about finding the right place for the right price. Finally, near the height of the real estate bubble, she succumbed, depleting her life's savings to buy a 900-square-foot bungalow, with a garage that "bore a close resemblance to the ruins of Pompeii" and plumbing that "dated back to the Coolidge administration."
From her mother's decorating manias to her own "hidden room" dreams, Daum explores the perils and pleasures of believing that only a house can make you whole. With delicious wit and a keen eye for the absurd, she has given us a pitch-perfect, irresistible tale of playing a lifelong game of house.
Chronicles the author's obsession with finding the perfect house, which culminated in her depleting her life savings to purchase a 900-square-foot bungalow with ancient plumbing and a junk-filled garage, in a book that explores the perils and pleasures of believing that only a house can make you whole. By the author of The Quality of Life Report.

I want to know how these are 'different' than the domestic horses that haven't changed biologically since the last ice age according to anthropology experts.....Maybe it's because we don't really know anything about horses period. Many anthropologist think they were never killed off by the ice age in North America, but killed off by soldiers during the Indian Wars.

Published August 5, 2013
The birth of a Przewalski's horse—the first in the world to be born via artificial insemination—is giving the once decimated species new hope. The filly was born July 27 at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) in Front Royal, Virginia.
Przewalski's horses are rare and endangered wild horses native to Mongolia. They were declared extinct in the wild in the 1960s, but have since been reintroduced to Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan. There are an estimated 1,500 Przewalski's horses in the world, most of which live in captivity.
The foal was born to a mare named Anne, a first-time mother who was raised at SCBI. Although Anne's pregnancy lasted 340 days, her filly's birth was a process nearly seven years in the making.
"They are not like our domestic horses," explained Budhan Pukazhenthi, a reproductive physiologist at SCBI. "We had to really start developing the infrastructure and a management plan to study this."
Photograph courtesy Smithsonian National Zoo
Dolores Reed, a supervisory biologist at SCBI, explained that the early years of the process were spent learning how to work with the wild horses so that scientists could perform the steps necessary for artificial insemination.
She and her team implemented a reward system that enabled them to more easily collect urine samples from mares over time. As the horses learned more about the process, getting their cooperation became easier.
"There's always a reward at the end of whatever we're asking them to do," Reed explained. "It's positive reinforcement. We don't try to force them to do anything that they aren't willing to do."
After that, it was a matter of creating a viable pregnancy. Pukazhenthi said the team learned how to successfully collect semen from stallions, monitored hormone levels in mares, and studied how estrus cycles of Przewalski's horses compared with those of domestic horses.
Previous attempts to artificially inseminate the mares were unsuccessful. But last year, after consultation with experts at Auburn University, Pukazhenthi tried a different method that minimized the distance that the sperm had to travel in the uterus. It worked, making the yet-to-be-named filly the first Przewalski's horse of its kind.
Pukazhenthi and Reed explained that while the numbers of this endangered species have been increasing through natural breeding, for a group of animals that remains so small, artificial insemination can help diversify the population. "We want the least amount of inbreeding as we move forward in growing the population," Pukazhenthi said.
Artificial insemination also allows animals that would be ideal matches to stay in one place, avoiding the space, cost, and safety issues that arise when transporting a wild horse for breeding. (Watch a video about the first reverse vasectomy performed on a Przewalski's horse.)
It is their wildness that Reed was careful to preserve when working with Przewalski's horses. "It needs to act and behave like a Przewalski with the rest of the group," she said. "We did not want to tame them, so to speak, to the point that they weren't Przewalskis anymore."
Three years ago, SCBI celebrated the births of two other rare equids—Persian onagers—via artificial insemination, in partnership with The Wilds. Both organizations are part of a consortium called the Conservation Centers for Species Survival, which studies endangered species, including wild equids.

Rain, wind, snow (yes, snow) could force cancellation of Marlins-Rockies tonight
- 1:04 pm Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by Tom D'Angelo
Just arrived in Tebowtown – formerly known at Denver – to weather that makes one think about football season more than baseball.
Marlins officials are very pessimistic about playing tonight, and they should be. The 40-degree temperature is the good news. The rain is falling, hard, and the wind is gusting at more than 30 mph.
Volstad to start Sunday vs. Nationals; Hermida still out; Calero has ID stolen
- 5:22 pm Friday, September 11th, 2009 by Carlos Frías
MIAMI GARDENS — Marlins right-hander Chris Volstad will start Sunday against the Washington Nationals.
Volstad, who was demoted to Class AAA New Orleans after losing his last outing on August 28, was recalled on Tuesday and told Friday he will go instead of the injured Rick VandenHurk.
"I'm excited, ready to get back out there," Volstad said.
The Marlins sent Volstad down to work out kinks in his throwing motion, after he got shelled in his last two starts. In those games, he allowed 10 runs on 12 hits in just 5 2/3 innings for a 15.88 ERA. In [More]
Marlins begin grueling interleague slate

The Braves third baseman once complained that interleague schedules were unfair because of the so-called rivalries that forced the Braves to play the Red Sox and the Mets to play the Yankees in two series every year. But two years ago Jones did have this warning for the Marlins.

The purpose-built rally car that Mitsubishi fields in the no-longer-aptly-named 2009 Dakar (the venue for the race is now South America, remember) will shed its Pajero moniker as well as the nominal styling elements that tied it to the Mitsu SUV. Instead, the new MRX09 is the "Racing Lancer". As such, the front end gets the Lancer's "Run for your lives!" gaping maw grille and squinty headlamps. In its press release announcing the updated vehicle, Mitsubishi also reaches for another Lancer tie-in when it points out the happy coincidence that the MRX09's bodywork "is redolent of the Lancer Sportback", which is another way of saying, "it slopes down in the rear." In any case, the Lancerized bodywork is more appealing than the squareback rump the Pajero racer wore. The new race buggy's drivetrain consists of the erstwhile Pajero Evolution's competition-prepped e4WD system and 3.0L turbodiesel producing over 260 horses and 480 lb-ft of torque. Air will be caught, sand will be kicked, and if history is any indication, a trophy will be hoisted when all's said and done.
[Source: Mitsubishi via Paul Tan]
Mitsubishi Introduces new 'Racing Lancer' (MRX09) for the 2009 Dakar
Tokyo, July 16, 2008- Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has developed a new competition car, the Racing Lancer, whose mission will be to target victory on next year's Dakar which breaks new ground in 2009 with a switch from Africa to South America. For Mitsubishi Motors, not only does the Dakar serve as a platform for the sales and marketing of the Pajero/Montero but it also provides a unique proving ground for powertrains and 4WD transmission systems. In light of the corporate decision to focus the firm's cross-country rallying activities on the development of a new diesel engine, Mitsubishi Motors sees it as a natural step for the Lancer (known in Japan as Gallant Fortis), a commercially and globally important model powered by the diesel powerplant, to take over the competition baton from the Pajero/Montero and the Pajero/Montero Evolution. The technological expertise accumulated thanks to the firm's cross-country rally program - which includes the Dakar - will be applied to its diesel engine development, including the new-generation clean diesel that will power the future production cars. Meanwhile, as was previously the case, the 4WD systems technology will also be carried over to the production versions after their configuration has been optimized as a function of their end-use.
Under its new corporate communication tagline 'Drive@earth', Mitsubishi Motors has a commitment to providing the joy of mobility for customers worldwide while at the same time taking a responsible stance on the environment. Team Repsol Mitsubishi Ralliart will also play an important role as an integral part of the automobile research and development program.
The Racing Lancer is a Super Production Cross-Country Rally car, which has been developed in compliance with the FIA's Group T1 regulations (modified cross-country rally cars). It also complies with the new rules due to come into force in 2010. Needless to say, the new rally car has profited from the technical expertise and experience gained with the Pajero/Montero and the Pajero/Montero Evolution which secured 12 outright Dakar wins during its uninterrupted 25-year participation on the celebrated African event, a sequence which began with the fifth edition of the rally in 1983. The MRX09 features a new, multi-tubular steel frame which has benefited from advanced CAE analysis with a view to optimizing the layout and dimensioning of the tubing. The car will be powered by the 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged diesel engine which the company is currently developing on qualifying rounds of the 2008 Dakar Series and the 2008 FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup. The carbon-fibre bodywork of the MRX09 is redolent of the Lancer Sportback, a new sporty hatchback due to be released on the European market this summer. The new car will be equipped with the same 4WD system, drive train, suspension and brakes following their modification in accordance with the new technical regulations and as a function of the characteristics of the diesel turbo powerplant.
* MRX09: the new codename for Mitsubishi's latest cross-country rally challenger. 'MRX09' stands for 'Mitsubishi Rally 'Cross Country'('X'), plus a suffix for the year in which it competes ('09' = 2009).

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Red Mountain.
This, of all our 2007s, takes the most time to open up in the glass or decanter. Initially reticent, Bel Canto blossoms into a perfumed potpourri of baking spice, black fruit and intense minerality. It has the roundest mouthfeel and softest tannins of all the 2007s, though the tannins have a sneaky length, fine grain and expanding quality through the finish that bodes well for aging. I believe this is our finest Bel Canto to date; a wine that will reward patience and time in your cellar.
"Good full red with ruby highlights. Knockout nose combines sappy black cherry, redcurrant, black tea, mocha and rose petal. Wonderfully intense but light on its feet, with enticing floral lift and outstanding verve to the red berry and brown spice flavors. Quite horizontal on the back but without any impression of weight. Finishes with very refined tannins and lovely lavender lift and persistence. A great showing-and all the more remarkable considering that Ben Smith and Gaye McNutt's vineyard on Red Mountain was only planted in 2004. There are any number of powerhouse Bordeaux blends being made in Washington today, but very few wines with this degree of class."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Cabernet Franc blended with 31% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, the Cadence 2007 Cara Mia Vineyard Bel Canto is pungently redolent of arbor vitae, juniper berry, mint, fennel, and sage, which as a sort of herbal liqueur join forces with cassis, blueberry, as well as honey or quince such as were also suggested in the corresponding 2008. Less polished than its two successors, this, nevertheless, displays a quality of tannin reasonably fine-grained and capable of adding a certain invigoration to a long finish."

The Wine Advocate
Cadence is dedicated to showcasing the finest vineyard sites in Washington State. Their Bordeaux-styled blends are their interpretation of the best qualities reflected in Washington's greatest vineyard terroir. Cadence's winemaking philosophy is based on the belief that blending creates a balanced wine of greater character than the individual components. Their wines express the power, intensity or elegance of the vineyard reflected in the characteristics of the varietals on the vineyard site.
Washington's first appellation, Yakima Valley has over one third of the state's vineyards. The rolling foothills of the Cascades give the vines a good sun angle, so grapes are well-ripened come harvest time. Merlot dominates the plantings here, creating elegant wines with complex fruit, herbs & structure. Syrah continues to grow in popularity, creating blanced wines with...Read More About Yakima Valley
Bordeaux Blends The Fab Five With so much history under its belt, it's no wonder that Bordeaux has figured out the recipe to produce amazing wines.

The Carolina Hurricanes took on the Ottawa Senators in Ontario on Monday night. Cam Ward and Craig Anderson were tremendous throughout the game, but the Ottawa Senators beat the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 in shootout.
Scoring Summary
Mika Zibanejad opened the scoring at 1:41 of the first period. Patrick Wiercioch took a slap shot from the point, and he deflected it past Cam Ward. Wiercioch and Ales Hemsky got the assists.
The Carolina Hurricanes tied the game at one at 4:03 of period one. Jeff Skinner was behind the Ottawa net, and his pass out front intended for Elias Lindholm bounced off Erik Karlsson and in. The goal was unassisted. It was Jeff Skinner's 30th goal of the season.
Ales Hemsky scored the lone goal in the shootout. He shot it off the lower left part of the post and past Cam Ward. It was a perfect shot.
My Three Stars
First Star: Craig Anderson – Win, 30 saves on 31 shots, .968 save percentage
Second Star: Cam Ward – Loss, 28 saves on 29 shots, .966 save percentage
Third Star: Jeff Skinner – 1 goal, 2 shots, 2 hits, 18:33 TOI
Game Analysis
The Carolina Hurricanes to the Ottawa Senators 2-1 in the shootout on Monday night.
The goalies were fantastic in the game. Craig Anderson and Cam Ward both made incredible saves all night, and they were the reason that both teams got a point.
The Carolina Hurricanes really didn't play well, especially early on, but they were able to stay in the game thanks to the stellar goaltending of Cam Ward.
Jeff Skinner played very well against the Ottawa Senators. He worked hard to get many scoring chances, and he was rewarded with a goal in the first period. Skinner scored his 30th goal of the season on Monday. It is the first time he has done that since he rookie season. He scored 31 that season. He is also on a 4-game goal streak.
Justin Faulk had another rough game against the Ottawa Senators. He made some mistakes, and he was on the ice for Ottawa's early first period goal. He did save a goal late in the game when Cam Ward was well out of position, so that makes up for his poor play to some degree.
The Carolina Hurricanes power play was abysmal once again. The man advantage went 0-3 on the night. With both Andrei Loktionov and Jiri Tlusty suffering upper-body injuries in the game, the Carolina Hurricanes had to use more depth players on the power play, which resulted with some terrible man advantages.
The Carolina Hurricanes gain a point in the standings and are now 32-32-11 (75 points). They are 7 points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Carolina Hurricanes will go to Pennsylvania to take on the Metropolitan Division leading Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.

This list was comprised a while back so some of the companies are not in business anymore.
i'm shooting a parker phoenix 34...it's a 2006 model, but shoot lights out. Great bow, accurate as heck! so easy to pull with the cam they had back then...smooth, quiet and virtually no vibe.
i shot the bengeal recently.....that is a good bow from martin. If i knew they would stick around for another 10 years..i would pick up a bengal so that my son could grow with it.
The other bow that i would own again is a Darton...........no doubt a Darton again!!!!!
No doubt there are alot of company's to choose from....pick the one that fits you the best.
my bucket list
Darton - Bear - Hoyt...*Martin, if they get an engineer, Ryan Martin leaves, Get a new sales force, Hire Joel back, & can financially stay afloat.
My other bow is a Strother Rush SX.
In the last 10 years I have own
3 bowtech's pro 38 (heavy) 82nd shot really good but no valley, destoyer 350 still have, has more valley then the 82nd still on the fence with it
3 darton's mavrick pro 3000 pro 3500 all shot good I shot the mavrick the best, cs sucks
2 elite's snyergy I loved that bow never should have sold it gt500 was also a good bow
1 limbsaver can't even remember the model didn't like it but my buddy loves it
1 pse ar 37 piece of ^&&&t
2 martin's the firecat 400 my son is now shooting very nice bow and my onza 3 witch is a dream to shoot
so if not martin maybe another elite ???
I have a Strother Rush XT, nice bow but I just can't get comfortable shooting with no valley. As soon as I get some valley adjusted into it I could find myself shooting it quite a bit more.
An Elite Pure would be my number 1 choice after that.
NEVER BowTech, they have undoubtedly the worst C.S. in the archery world. Both the closest (Pro Shops) to me are dropping them or being dropped. The closest is a 3 hr. drive and I can't get Bowtech to send me a new Flexguard for my 2010 Iceman.
If Martin goes away, I will still shoot my Shadowcats.
I have shot almost all the finger bows on the market and there is nothing and I mean nothing that is equal to the Shadowcat.
I'm still a big fan of Martin of course, but can't say a bad thing about the Strothers I own either. They take a little more tinkering than Martins to get just right, but they are great shooters. Maybe a bit short in the valley, and a stiffer draw than Martin, but still a very smooth draw. SX Rush, SR-71, and Infinity are the ones I own, and all are great shooters. They are more speed based bows, so the draw cycle is to be expected. Customer service is top notch as well. Maybe not quite Joel quality, but very good. Picked all mine up pretty cheap on AT.
Shot with a Fred Bear staff shooter today. He had the Anarchy in target color, gorgeous red. Looked great for fit and finish. He shot it pretty decent, but he wouldn't spot me 20 points and him shooting Known 45 with Range Finder and me with all unknown - we shot the same course, stake for stake. He didn't turn in his score card. Honestly, I think he may have got me by a handful of points. If he would have spotted me 20 I would have trashed him.... Still, I was impressed with his Anarchy....
May be the boss's at Martin should read this thread, it may lite a fire under them to get thing fixed ASAP. I will say that I really enjoy my Fire Cat 400 and it has delivered some of my biggest trophy game and keeps the frig full. The best bow that I currently have is the Alpine Verdict, shoots a broadhead amazing at 20-80 yards and shoots a 420g tip at 288-290fps, easy draw and a graet back wall. I also have the F1 Fireball and it's a 3D bow with it's 34 ATA and draws like butter. The 1st Mathrews that I ever owned is the Z7 Mag and its all what the critics say it is. I will hunt this year deer with the Verdict and Z7 for Bull Elk. Also Alpine CS is best one that I have delt with, Joel was good to me at Martin but haven't tryed them in a while.

text: Ink November 29, 2010 Issue Conversation Piece Jay-Z By Reeves Wiedeman Table of Contents Jay-Z Credit Tom Bachtell Flash Rosenberg, an artist-in-residence at the New York Public Library, sat toward the back of the Celeste Bartos Forum last week, surrounded by assorted pens, a tray of watercolors, and thirty-odd colored pencils. Part of Rosenberg's gig is creating what she calls animated "snapshots of thoughts" that occur during the library's live conversation series. "I've done John Waters and Marina Abramović" she said. "I did William Kentridge, which was terrifying—to do an animation about an animator." The evening's subject was Jay-Z, the Bedford-Stuyvesant-born rapper behind songs like "Big Pimpin' " and "Money, Cash, Hoes." "I'm a feminist, so it's hard for me to listen to some rap lyrics," Rosenberg said, as she bent to her work. Paul Holdengräber, a director of public programs at the library, welcomed his guest by saying, "Jay-Z's archive should come to the New York Public Library." He introduced his co-interviewer, the Princeton professor Cornel West, and got down to talking about the rapper's new memoir, "Decoded," which the library will shelve between biographies of John Jay and J. R. Jayewardene, the former President of Sri Lanka. Jay-Z said that, as a boy, he listened to "everything from Miles to Thom Yorke to Ol' Dirty Bastard." "You will lose me at times," Holdengräber said. "I grew up listening to various versions of 'The Magic Flute.' I grew up with, you know, 'Is Wilma Lipp the best?' " "Right," Jay-Z said, pausing for a beat. "You will lose me at times." At her table, Rosenberg drew two figures standing apart. "I sense that they are talking past each other," she said. Her drawings were mostly abstract caricatures: Jay-Z confused; Jay-Z as a baby in a diaper; Jay-Z's face as a gun. A fourteen-year-old girl named Marly Medard tapped Rosenberg on the shoulder. She was wearing braids and neon-green shoes, and she asked if she could watch. "I like to draw," Marly said. She had come to the library to return a DVD—"Papa's Delicate Condition," with Jackie Gleason—and happened upon a free ticket. (They were selling on Craigslist for more than a thousand dollars.) "I think I ate too much Lucky Charms this morning!" she said. Marly sat next to Rosenberg, who pulled out her watercolors to paint licks of fire around the word "Truth." Onstage, Holdengräber and West were comparing Jay-Z to T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Shakespeare, and Dickens. West recalled a recent meeting between himself, Jay-Z, and Toni Morrison: "And you said, 'I have been playing Plato to Biggie's Socrates.' And that hit all of us so hard." Holdengräber said, "It's one of the most extraordinary books I have read in the last decade." A library employee had placed her copy of Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom" next to a wicker basket of listening aids for the hard-of-hearing. The event had brought in a younger demographic—"God, do we need it!" Holdengräber said later—so the basket was full. At one point, Jay-Z's anthem, "Empire State of Mind," played over a loudspeaker. "As an anti-imperialist, I've always been suspicious of this 'Empire State' talk," West said. "But, just on the musical tip, that's a beautiful song." When Jay-Z had answered the last question (a favorite book? the self-help guide "The Seat of the Soul"; Marly wrote down the title), he thanked the library and walked offstage to greet Harry Belafonte, who was seated in the front row. "I hope Beyoncé shows up," Julie Grau, the book's publisher, had said earlier. Mrs. Z did not appear, but the rapper Lupe Fiasco, Zadie Smith, and Princess Firyal of Jordan did. Offstage, West and Holdengräber assessed their performances. "My brother, you were marvellous," West said. "No, you were marvellous," Holdengräber said. "I was just fine." "You were more than fine," West said. "You were yourself with all of your crazy ideas." "Well, you told me to be existential!" Holdengräber said. They shook hands, and West walked over to the table where Jay-Z, surrounded by bodyguards, was signing books for around five hundred fans. To a young man with shoulder-length locks: "I like your hair. It's different." It was eleven o'clock before the final copy was signed. Marly had already left, to make curfew. Rosenberg finished packing up her materials and decided to skip the line, although she said she was warming to hip-hop. "I photograph bar mitzvahs, so I know the songs," she said. "I like the one that goes, 'It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes.' That, to me, is one of the most logical sentences I've ever heard. I like it when an artist says something that's just so true." ♦ Reeves Wiedeman began working at The New Yorker in 2009, and contributes regularly to The Talk of the Town and "The Sporting Scene."

All of the main healing skills for Necromancers come from Blood Magic. I suppose there are Corpse/Minion consuming spells for health in Death Magic, but I think Blood Magic is a bit more useful and efficient. Just dump a lot of points into Blood Magic and go with Vampiric Gaze and Well of Blood, two great healing spells. If you need a 3rd, go with Shadow Strike (lots of damage, and life stealing) or Life Siphon (long casting time, but does stackable DoT while giving you Regen)Hahnsoo's Collectors Guide (ver 0.13) and Ranger Guide (ver 0.60), updated for Factions

If you use a lot of Illusion, Illusion of Weakness gives you up to 253 health for when you need it most (no time limit). Other than that, the Necro line has plenty of options in Blood. Life Siphon is a good start, along with Parasitic Bond.

IoW is sketchy.
If you get spiked it won't trigger. If you get DoT'd it won't trigger. If it gets shattered right away you don't get any benefit.
Pretty sketchy...

" As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus…"

Quality of food and excellent service Relaxed atmosphere
Nice room with a great view. Swimming pool excellent. Breakfast very good especially the Yogurt. Meal in the evening was again excellent with reasonably priced wines.
Everything about the hotel and food except pillows and seating in 110..
The seating was too small and hard in the turret room - very poor quality and disappointing when watching television. Also much prefer down and feather pillows.
Great Lunch on the terrace. Really good food. Turret room very roomy, and excellent views. Very friendly staff (Lost my phone in a taxi) Receptionist said don't worry you will get it back. She confirmed that people had lost wallets before and had them handed in by taxi firms)!
Bar Prices No option other than Bacon & Eggs, other than continental.
The room was excellent, the pool was a good size for a hotel. its position on the frontage was superb,
The food menu needs more variety, if you order flowers please insist they are delivered to the front desk or you may have problems locating them!!!
Friendly staff. Nice comfortable room.
Scrambled egg and bacon only for cooked option. Bed was very hard.
Traditional hotel which has been modernised throughout. Excellent situation with activities for families within walking distance. Nice walks along the front. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Food was good and the 'continental' breakfast included cooked meats, cheeses etc with option for bacon and scrambled eggs cooked to order. Fridge with water, soft drinks and snacks.
'Atmospheric' music in the dining area in the evening was more suited to under 30's. Coffee machine in rooms but no kettle. Tea can be ordered as room service but at 7.30 am do you really want to be bothered waiting!
Very warm welcome on arrival. All staff attentive professional and friendly. Food excellent. Room wonderful. We loved it!
We liked everything about it, we especially liked the complimentary drinks and crisp in the hotel room. What a good idea! :)
Liked the room and shower
Dining experience
Lovely hotel for a luxury break, really enjoyed it there and would more than recommend it.
We stayed in room 110 which was the best room in the hotel, which we got on a deal with booking .com. I've scored good for value as we found the food and drinks expensive. Although we found the food in the restaurant to be really good. We hope to stay again soon. We will be recommending the Grand Hotel to all our family and friends
The Hotel is very high quality and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The Hotel has a lively, vibrant atmosphere and the food is excellent in the restaurant.
I think the limited room service menu particularly the breakfast is not in keeping with the high standard of this superb hotel.
The room was great with fabulous views. The bed and bathroom were fantastic. I could not fault the staff who were more than obliging. We certainly will stay there again and looking forward to it very much. Oh and the swimming pool was fantastic;-). Many thanks to you all. You get a big pat on the back from me. X
There was No tea in the room which my partner wasnt happy about so she sadly had to have coffee. There was No hair conditioner in the bathroom which seemed a bit odd?
Good parking, a good sized room, and a first class breakfast cooked for you, not sitting around in trays waiting. In a great location that is far enough away from the crass commercialism of Blackpool to be nice, while still being close enough to allow you to dip into it easily when you want.
Steaks in the restaurant were overpriced compared to the rest of the menu. Coffee but no tea making facilities in the room. Elevator was being repaired so had to walk up to the rooms. Bedroom decor was a little dated.
Very friendly. There was a mistake made, but it was rectified and staff were very apologetic. Thank you
excellent location; good spa facilities;
poor room (bath in the middle); no real restaurant of any description - a tapas bar; no dvd player in room as promised and no help give when asked for it; not very clean and fraying at the edges; a very limited breakfast menu other than continental which was unchanged - bacon and scrambled eggs was the only cooked item on offer; the hotel public relations dept. overhype the facilities and it is time they listened to comments.
The whole experience was a relaxing comforting break. a break we will definately be taking again soon.
Nothing,,,,,,, we loved it all.
We loved the room, location, leisure facilities and the food. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It was a perfect stay. We will be returning soon I hope. We loved room 117, floor to ceiling windows, a huge bed and fabulous bathroom with a walk in wet room shower and Molton Brown toiletries.
The staff from the minute we arrived ,the room was fab,the food and restaurant staff ,pool and the location !
Couldn't find fault with anything we did book on a sunday nght so the hotel was quiter tried to book for another date and couldn't get the 3 rooms I wanted on a few different dates through booking.com ! M
Beuatiful room, and recently upodated. Receptionist was very helpful both days.
Lift not working Paid for breakkfasrt but not available until 8 am, we had a train tio catch at 7.50 am.
Room was very spacious, well designed and had a marvellous view of the hotel grounds and the sea front/roads outside. Restaurant was both smart and modern, lunch was very good and breakfast was excellent. The hotel exudes class and comfort
The hotel did not have any faults during our stay
The room, the staff, the cleanliness, the breakfast, everything about this hotel oozes professionalism.This hotel could be used as an example for other hotels in Great Britain of How to get it right for the customer. Brilliant place to stay and we will be returning very soon
No negative comments about this hotel
Very nice large room with a fantastic view, the restaurant was second to none and the staff from reception to cleaners were all so helpful and friendly, which, all in all, made the 'Grand' a very comfortable place to stay.
Heating in the room, particularly the bathroom, could have been better. The coffee maker was good but no facility to make a cup of tea. No information pack in the room for hotel and local activities or places of interest.

Do Twitter trends reflect the state of the world? Let's hope not.
Posted on 16. May, 2012 by Sam Leach in Stats & Trends, Thoughts
As Scotland is the country that puzzled the world when 'Hurricane Bawbag' trended worldwide, I think it's safe to say we've all been witness to some questionable trends. Within hours there were 'I survived hurricane bawbag' t-shirts for sale online and Scotland subsequently had to explain to the world exactly what a 'bawbag' is.
The one theme I think most people would agree with me that appears to trend daily is One Direction. The most memorable One Direction trend has to be from late April, 'Niall Is Our Sexy Leprechaun'. Now, no matter how 'sexy' Niall may be, surely the number of mentions it had on Twitter doesn't reflect the importance of the topic, with almost 63K mentions. The overall gender analysis however, did not surprise me with 80% female.
Another seemingly cult celebrity that appears to have dominated the worldwide trends within the past year is of course Bieber, due to so called "Beliebers". Yes, you read that right. Oh look at that, 'Justin Is Our Flawless Idol' has just started trending.
I would hope that 'Sexiest Woman in the World', which gained 100,776 mentions on Twitter as a result of a backlash to the announcement made by FHM, wasn't one of the top 10 topics in the UK in terms of importance on the day. Though there seemed to be a strong agreement that Tulisa wasn't the best candidate for the title.
Surely we haven't always cared so much about trivial matters? Maybe with the speed that social media travels at means we care for shorter periods of time? I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt however if I ever see the phrase 'TOWIE is my life' trending I will be re-thinking this decision.

Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 – Revelations
The son of Dracula returns!
The son of Dracula returns!
Alucard has an eye on Dracula.
Konami reveals a very appealing price point.
You've done it again, Mr. Araujo.
Because I love you.
A revelation for the upcoming revelation.
Alucard will get one more symphony.
Or will it be "Revelaitons" ?
It's finally here. Does the Lords of Shadow trilogy go out with a bang?
The return of Dracula is almost here!
Let Dracula hold your hands with those claws on Valentine's Day.
Whipping and stabbing.
Castlevania's very own Oswald Cobblepot.
Castlevania, a series with songs I hum in the shower.
Old friends and foes return in the upcoming finale.
Time goes by…so slowly…
Here are my thoughts on the game's first few hours!
Dave Cox and Enric Alvarez shed some light on their incarnation of Dracula.
Who dares sit in Dracula's throne?
The game is looking so pretty.
I killed the replay button…
Give us a Simon's Theme remix, Araujo!

Whenever I right click on my desktop to refresh I always end up having my explorer.exe crash.
So here is what I did, I uninstalled the stuffs that I installed yesterday before this explorer thing happened, thn cleaned my registry with my CCleaner, I tried other stuffs too but non succeeded.
Here is the main stuff that appears with my explorer.exe

At first I thought it was just when I was right clicking to refresh but it was actually the whole Right Clicking in the desktop in itself, as long as I right click in my desktop, it happens, its okay if I right click on an Icon in the desktop or in another folder as long as its not directly in the desktop.
I also got the explorer.exe.3720.dmp in my LocalDumps.
Please need help

You can't just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different, and I'm sorry I let you go, yes, but you made the choice You left me Perhapsless stuck in you goddamned labyrinth. And now I don't even know if you chose the straight and fast way out, if you left me like this on purpose. And so I never knew you, did I?
