Great show! Great actors! The Pasadena Playhouse is a lovely venue. My only complaint is that they should require late-comers to wait until a scene change to enter so as to not disturb those who had the decency to show up on time. After all, this is "live" theatre and deserves respect. Aside from that, it was quite enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this play. There were some nice performances particularly Mr Armstrong. Some interesting surprises in the storyline, which is always a good thing. Worth seeing.

I went to the Preview of this play. I thought it was a great representation of what life would have been like for a skilled black woman wanting to conform to society but hesitant to do so..... back in the 1900's. Loved it!!

Very disappointed. Extremely slow, the volume was inaudible during much of the play. George's dialog was not clear due to volume and the muffled accent. Because of this I felt much of the premise of the play lost. Dawn's part was clear and voice...continued
In Intimate Apparel, the time is 1905 in New York City and Esther, a middle-aged, black seamstress, has learned to make ends meet by teaching herself to sew beautiful and delicate lingerie for her uptown and downtown clientele. After nearly two decades of loneliness and watching the younger and prettier girls come and go in the boarding house she rents from, Esther finds solace and possible romance in letters from George, a handsome, young Caribbean man working on the Panama Canal.
Re-energized by his affectionate words, but hindered by illiteracy, Esther confides in two of her patrons, Mrs. Van Buren, a rich white socialite, and Mayme, a prostitute, to pen her letters back to George. Meanwhile, Esther's heart also seems to lie with Mr. Marks, the Hasidic shopkeeper who relishes in sharing his exquisite finds of satins and silks and has also grown increasingly fond of Esther. But the impossibility of their match is obvious to them both, so Esther settles for a marriage to George.
He subsequently manages to frivolously spend all of her life savings on whores and liquor – dashing all of Esther's hopes of opening a beauty salon. Once again penniless and alone, Esther reluctantly returns to her sewing machine to refashion her dreams from the cloth of her life's experiences.
Intimate Apparel_ is the winner of the 2004 New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play.
Running time: 2 hours 20 minutes (includes a 15-minute intermission).

"By publishing this Santa Fe story here, I hope to provide entertainment and get myself to write more.
Poetically Hungry
Mary MacIntyre writes incessantly, is an avid photographer, and a classic health food nut.
Every so often, Mary MacIntyre, the author will post clips of the first draft as it is written. Yes, that's me challenging myself to create a humorous novel. I welcome your comments and input as I go share these adventures. By publishing this Santa Fe story here, I hope to provide entertainment and get myself to write more.
Early in 2013 Mary McCormick decided to attend the annual Women's Health Fair. In the old days people might get a small massage, meet health practioners demonstrating body work, see the latest news about women services in Santa Fe and the area. Mary hoped for a mini-spa experience, free samples, and maybe a few free pens. A free weekend at Ojo Caliente spa would be terrific, however any of the above would be a special no cost treat.
Melina Garcia who just turned 50 three weeks earlier had bigger goals. In the last 60 days she had lost 25 pounds consuming a new diet shake. She had signed up to the online networking business and had declared her goal to stop obesity locally. Santa Fe watch out: this lady has newfound energy and determination. Her husband, Paul, also finds new enthusiasm as he enjoys his trim and fit new body. "Just the shakes twice a day", he says.
Alice Star felt like taking a break from her three children. Fortunately, her sister Sally Gomez had agreed to take the kids to the movies for the afternoon. Amazingly all the children from ages 7-12 had agreed that the new "Oz" movie would be great fun. She lives in a town outside of Espanola, and she welcomed the break to come to Santa Fe.
Between the three women, they were 70 pounds overweight. Mary, if she confessed the truth, was 30 pounds heavier than her "healthy weight." She had lost 80 pounds over two years ago. Recently, her healthy food plan had a few too many food detours. Melina was riding the wave of success. She had found the gold ring of weight loss and only had a few pounds left to lose. Alice had resigned herself to being comfortably round. Actually she's very attractive. As a women in her mid 40s with three children and two jobs, she probably has reached a perfect weight. She can't resist trying the latest, newest, healthiest diet program. She will do anything to reach her youthful slender body which frankly just shy of being skinny.
These three food -and fu- loving ladies had no idea that at this fair, where they would meet and share their first lunch, their lives would change forever. "It's all about food" Mary chuckled, "Let's indulge a little today." "We could start at the Green Tree Cafe," Alice suggested. "Then we could go to happy hour at Burger Haven", Melina grinned.

But I just wanted to tell you I got down to the 'I'm a girl' poster thing, and was blown away. I hope that's true for you, and for lots of girls out there. The world needs more people like you.

It takes a group of professionals to produce a television news program. A team of producers is responsible for organizing the entire show from financing to scheduling; however, the most recognized TV news jobs tend to be those in front of the camera, such as newscasters and reporters. Technical positions, such as camera operators and film editors, physically manufacture the final news program.
TV news jobs in production typically involve a wide variety of job duties. The production team is generally responsible for the creation and completion of a news program and supervises the activity of the news anchors, reporters, camera operators, and other staff members. An executive producer oversees the production team, secures financing for the program, and typically makes final decisions on advertising, content, and segment length. Line producers monitor news programs to ensure they stay on schedule and don't exceed the budget set by the executive producer. They may also determine the importance or popularity of news stories in order to put them into ordered segments.
News reporters travel to locations of breaking news stories, conduct interviews, and gather pertinent details that are compiled into reports by news writers. The completed reports are then given to news anchors. News anchors, also known as news analysts or newscasters, usually work in a studio and present the news reports to the viewing public. A reporter may appear on camera to provide additional information during a new anchor's broadcast segment.
Most news programs are intended to be objective, but a news commentator's job is to offer his or her opinions on current events. Many other on-camera TV news jobs are focused on specialized areas of news. Weathercasters may examine national and local weather satellites and then report the findings, while sportscasters present local and national sports-related news.
Many integral TV news jobs take place behind the scenes. Camera operators are responsible for using and maintaining the recording equipment for TV news segments. They may work in the studio and film the news anchors with cameras on tripods, or accompany reporters on location with handheld cameras.
Film and video editors compile the final version of a news story that the viewing public sees. Reporters may gather hours of interviews and footage for a news story that the executive producer wants cut down to a short news segment, often consisting of less than five minutes. The film and video editors review the footage, look for the best shots or interview quotes, and cut out the unneeded footage. They then decide how to organize the segment, such as when to show shots of the reporter and when to cut to interviews or still shots.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Dancers from the Genesis Sarajevo program being filmed in front of the Sebilj fountain and Bascarsija Mosque.
We have spent the past 3 days in Mostar working with 14 dancers, men and women in their early twenties with various dance training. We were excited to have such a large group interested in helping us with our project. Everyone was very enthusiastic throughout the workshop and filming process. We spent one full day creating movement with the dancers and the two following days filming dance at the Stari Most "Old Bridge", Partisan Memorial, Neretva River and various destroyed buildings and walls around town.
Mostar is full of tall mosque towers, cathedrals, old Ottoman stonework, bridges spanning the Neretva River and many many destroyed buildings that have been invaded by fig trees and other plants. It is beautiful, but there is still much evidence of the war. The town is divided into the Eastern Muslim section and the Western "Croatian" (Christian) side. Most of our dancers were very young during the war and in general prefered to express their optomism and love of dance in our film, rather than make a commentary on war or reference bad times of the past. In our first day of workshop, the dancers were asked to find one word which they felt most described Mostar. They chose "beautiful, contrast, childhood, stone, sun, wind, food, coffee, party, damage, kindness, love"
TCDC has travelled to Bosnia to meet with dance activist Ashley Fargnoli and shoot film with dancers from the Genesis Sarajevo dance program. Our first day was spent with a class of ballet trained Bosnian girls (ages 11-13). We filmed them in front of the central mosque, fine arts theater, cathedral and children's memorial, performing beautiful movement that they choreographed based on their ideas of Sarajevo's past present and future. They did synchronized movement and partnering in duets and trios. The girls were very excited to be filmed and were incredibly focused throughout the 4 hours of filming in the hot afternoon. Then we all got lunch and icecream. Later that day Robin, Ashley, Jake (our videographer) and I took the bus along the Neretva river to Mostar where Ashley lives. We will be working with dancers in Mostar over the next few days.
Ashley Fargnoli is a dance instructor, choreographer and activist spreading dance as a means of reconciliation and rehabilitation in post-conflict countries. She has worked in Kolkata, India with survivors of trafficking, with the Roma in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and currently works with several groups of dancers in Mostar and Sarajevo leading local workshops, classes and performances.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Vegetative Patients Talk With Brain
Vegetative State: Is Anybody in There?
The question families most want answered by a loved one in a vegetative or minimally responsive state is, "Are you there?"
The study does not provide an answer, notes an editorial by Allan H. Ropper, MD, executive vice chair of neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of neurology at Harvard University.
"Is there someone in there? There's no way to know," Ropper tells WebMD. "There may have to be a new way of thinking of consciousness. Not whether someone is in or not in, but maybe whether they are in some of the time -- or maybe in there but not able to take their own mental temperature and so not suffering. We just don't know who we are talking to. The current studies do not answer that question."
The ability to respond to questions via brain activity doesn't necessarily imply that a person is aware, says Mark A. Brooks, PhD, consulting neuropsychologist at Glancy Rehabilitation Center in Duluth, Ga.
"Awareness is the functional totality of all cognitive skills - the sum of arousal, orientation, attention, perception, memory, and reasoning," Brooks tells WebMD. "The Monti paper leaves me feeling like there are complete, thoughtful people trapped in these bodies, pining for a means of communication. This is clearly not the case."
Monti, Ropper, and Brooks all worry that the study results will be taken to mean that everyone in a vegetative state is conscious. The results simply show that in rare cases, a vegetative patient may have more consciousness than is at first apparent.
What this means -- and whether these extraordinary patients will be able to communicate such things as whether they are in pain or distress -- will be the subject of future research.
The Monti study, and the Ropper editorial, appear in the early online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

TUESDAY, Jan. 31 (HealthDay News) -- When children are sick,
family participation is central to their treatment, says a new
policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which
calls for patients, their parents and pediatricians to become
partners at every level of care.
In the hospital, parents should be encouraged to stay with their
child, sit in on physician "rounds," and accompany the youngster
during medical procedures, the statement says. Pediatricians should
also offer parents support, respect their preferences about care
and communicate openly with children and teenagers about their
"It's incorporating where the family stands, its belief systems, to help in making decisions," said Dr. Jerrold Eichner, co-author of the statement and a pediatric pulmonologist and past chair of the AAP's Committee on Hospital Care. "It's a gradual movement, going on for decades."
The statement, published online Jan. 30 and in the February
print issue of
Pediatrics, was met with praise from a family health advocate.
"I'm actually very appreciative of the statement," said Karen Herzog, co-founder of Sophia's Garden Foundation, an organization centered on helping families with children with life-threatening conditions.
"It's imperative that professional organizations like the AAP and the American Medical Association take a firm stand on patient- and family-centered care," she said. "We need to work in partnership to improve our health outcomes together.
Herzog's daughter died of a rare illness when she was 4 years
old. Her family took ownership of her care to an uncommon
"I actually recruited practitioners to work on her care team, both local and internationally. We wanted to assemble a team that incorporated many different disciplines and cultural values and different medical perspectives," Herzog said.
One priority was making sure that care was about Sophia's needs
rather than fitting into standard practice.
"We were with hospice for two and a half years," Herzog said. "Usually they just stay when a child has six months or fewer to live. At that time, we chose to have curative care [as well]. We wanted to be able to take our child to the doctor or hospital at any point in time that we chose, rather than when it was approved by hospice."
AAP's new policy supports this kind of flexibility.
It encourages "honoring patient and family experiences and
incorporating them with patient and family preferences into the
planning and delivery of health care," and tailoring services to
"family-patient needs, beliefs, cultural values."
Cultural sensitivity is important, Eichner said. "If a patient
or family has a cultural or personal aversion, they may not tell
you; they just won't comply with the treatment," he said.
The statement lays out specifics for family inclusion. "In
hospitals, conducting attending physician rounds [patient
presentation and discussions] in the patients' rooms with nursing
staff and the family present should be standard practice," it said,
and parents should have the option to be present during medical
Herzog said she wished the policy placed more emphasis on
pediatric care in the home, and on families of children with
special needs.
Also missing is a strong recognition of health information
technology, Herzog said. "The policy talks about the flow of
information. [But] there's nothing about electronic medical
records," she explained.
She also wants "openness to practitioners when patients bring in
information that they've found on the Internet."
The statement does address peer-to-peer communication, and
social media and the Internet is part of that, Eichner said. For
his patients with cystic fibrosis, diabetes and other chronic
conditions, "[the web] is especially helpful for older kids."
Collaboration includes involving patients and families in task
forces, advisory councils and committees to improve patient safety,
and as leaders of peer-support programs, the statement said.
Getting patients and families onboard helps doctors as well,
Eichner said. "It's a lot easier to deal with patients when they
feel you're listening," he added. "When they know that you'll be
honest with them and give them the complete story on what's going
on with their child."
A "sea change" is happening in health care, Herzog said.
One sign is "coming out with a stance like this, something that
pediatricians can adhere to, when they're rated by
their peers," she said. "They can be evaluated by AAP or
other organizations. If there's any kind of problem, did the
physicians adhere to these standards? They're like minimally
acceptable standards."

Position: Centre/Left Wing
Shoots: Left
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 192
Birthdate: July 30, 1996
2013-14 Team: United States National Team Development Program (USHL)
From: Detroit, Michigan
International Scouting Services: 15
Central Scouting – North American Skaters: 17
Larkin is a player that already looks like a pro. He plays an incredibly well rounded game for a player his age; effective on the offensive end of the ice, and responsible defensively. He's got prototypical pro size and skates very well for a bigger forward. He played center for the NTDP squad this year, and had no difficulties handling the extra skating and defensive responsibilities the position requires.
Larkin is projected mid-to-late first round, so the weaknesses here aren't huge. If there's anything keeping him from being a top-ten pick, it's that he doesn't quite have the high-end scoring potential of some of the offensive prospects ranked ahead of him.
— Chris Dilks of SB Nation College Hockey
Dylan Larkin is a prospect that has very few holes in his game. He's got good size, but skates very well. He also holds his own defensively and put up a near point-per-game for the USNTDP. As Chris Dilks notes, he's expected to attend the University of Michigan next season, where he'll likely play wing.
Dilks also points to Larkin's relatively low point totals as a reason he probably won't go in the top 10 of the 2014 NHL Draft. A team with pretty good forward depth such as the Dallas Stars at 14th overall, Philadelphia Flyers at 17th or San Jose Sharks at 20th could "draft and stash" him and allow him to develop in college for a couple of years.

I agree with some of the posters. This thread is pointless and should be scrapped.
not linking to the Hoggy thing but she has been hitting DFS for a while, not only today, just pointing this out

Telus (Mr. Nick Zamora)
"If seniors are the greatest users of health care services, then more attention needs to go now to preventing them from developing chronic illness and/or slowing deterioration of health, preventing mental illness/depression, and fall prevention.

I was impressed with the cleanliness of our room and it was also very comfortable. The 24 hour shuttle service made our trip that much more enjoyable. I will definitely keep this hotel on the top of my list for any future stays. Stayed October 2013, traveled as a couple.
"Attentive to guests, clean, and cost-effective" Reviewed September 19, 2013 I have stayed here twice for events in OKC within a twelve month span. I will stay here again when in OKC. The owner is hands on and leads by example for all hotel staff. The rooms are 1970s spacious and very clean. (Kudos to housekeeping here.) Parking is ample and well lit. The hotel itself is very quiet, which is surprising due to its location in a light industrial area. THE SHUTTLE SERVICE IS FANTASTIC! In fact, the shuttle service is what cinched this hotel as my 'go to stay' place in OKC. The drivers are helpful, prompt, and the shuttles are clean too.
Clean, convenient, affordable" Reviewed September 18, 2013 NEW We went to OK City for medical reasons, and chose this Hotel because of Tripadvisor reviews. The price was very reasonable, it was conveniently located for our visit to OU Medical Center, and it was very easy to find. A great breakfast, a clean room, and all the amenities made this stay positive. Parking was well-lit, free, and plentiful, something not always available near Bricktown. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will stay again next trip to OK City. Stayed September 2013, traveled on business.
Reviewed September 7, 2013 via mobile I was in OKC FOR a conference. Stayed here for the first night as the conference hotel was full. Good alternative to the more expensive downtown hotels. Located in an industrial part of town, near I-40, the hotel is spacious and clean with none of the traffic noise you would expect from its location. Staff were very helpful, and the free shuttle to Bricktown made you forget you were out 2 miles.
"New Management Has Changed This Place" Reviewed September 4, 2013 We were told that the newest owner was the one responsible for all of the upgrades at this motel. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. We could not have found a better place for the money. We rode Harleys with a small group to Oklahoma City to hear a band play, and they even had shuttles that would drop off and pick up in the Bricktown entertainment area. They went out of their way to make sure that we felt that our bikes were secure. If we are headed that way again, we will stay there!
"Fabulous!" Reviewed August 30, 2013 Easy to find..extremely clean room, excellent customer service….awesome staff..friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast included everyday..Was my first time in OKC..shuttled me back and forth to classes downtown the entire week… I will definitely stay again..

10.5: Use Automator to set VLC caching delays
I expanded on this idea and wrote a similar automator script that serves as a plugin for finder instead of a standalone action. Instead of running the network or the local script to change the preference with mine you right click on the video in finder, select the plugin and the script will set your VLC cache preference to either 300 ms or 5000 ms depending on if it is a local or a network file.

This might be a bit hard for you to understand, I see that, but just
trust me - ok?
There is a world outside of web servers and web applications. There are
tests that needs to be done outside the scope of owasp, and there are
companies with more complex systems than those of auction sites.
I'm not talking solely about web applications for auction sites. Did
you read my bio somewhere?
Parts of this world contains servers that performs different tasks like
backup, store databases, process data, pass mail etc. You also have
clients, routers, switches, as well as the wide variety of different
systems that perform security tasks at different levels. This is usually
referred to as an infrastructure. Most companies have this, and it's
quite fascinating.
After being primarily an autodidact operator for 12 years, I think I'm
allowed to speak to these needs as equally as I do about web
applications or auction sites. A lot of this comes from my experience
as a BGP and Internet data center LAN operator.
For the assessment work I've done in the past two years on
"infrastructure"... yes, I wish that I had access to something like
Nipper, Redseal, or Skybox. Yes, I wish I had access to Core Impact,
Qualys Guard, and Canvas+packs. Would they have been worth the money
printed to buy them? No, I can safely say that all of these
assessments were better done without these "tools". The manual
inspection of every line of configuration - whether IOS, CatOS, JunOS,
ScreenOS, et al - is more important. Even for web servers this is
true - certainly the Apache Cookbook and the logging / event-handling
recommendations from the Web Application Hacker's Handbook have quite
a lot to add to the process of securing a web application.
I'm not an open-source bigot, but I can't argue with the free nature
of Nipper, the CIS benchmark tools, and many of the freely available
guides. Comparing GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner 8 to Qualys
Guard is a stretch, but one is free for 30-days with issues fixed and
the other is only a free 14-day trial with issues left open. I admit
that not all of my logic is perfect... as long as the
penetration-testing industry is willing to admit that 99% of their
testers and tools are 99% invalid and unworkable.
How is any consulting company supposed to address all of these issues
in two-week window of opportunity? Core Impact RPT might be fast, but
it's also going to put these assessment consulting companies out of
business if they have to pay into an expensive tool that still only
views 10% of the issues without fixing any of them.
So, in this thing called infrastructure - you also have vulnerabilities.
Either through bad design, implementation, wrong use or configurations
of software at different levels or due to lack of maintenance.
Some of these can be found and addressed quite quickly by the use of
tools, while others needs manual testing before they reveal themselves.
Some of these issues can be found using these tools. But not all of
the issues can be.
The primary "issue" that penetration-testing tools address is
awareness. They bring light (and hopefully funding) to a huge
problem. I spoke to an easy and scaled way of handling this, which
included Core Impact at the end of a formal process a few emails back.
The deliverable shouldn't be awareness - it should be workable
solutions. Most of the time - these aren't technical at all.
Strategy consulting is a good start to any project of this nature, and
while the cost might be the same as a two-week assessment, it only
takes up 1-2 days of a client's time, which really equates to much
better savings for the client because a two-week assessment is a large
investment for them.
I would hit a few key areas:
1) Software acquisition. How does the client acquire new software?
Does it come with hardware out-of-the-box (e.g. installed on a
2) Software update. How does the client upgrade/update their software?
3) Software configuration. How does the client configure their
software? How do they handle changes?
4) Software development. Does the client write their own software?
What processes do they use?
I'm fairly impressed with the BITS Shared Assessments Program
Standardized Information Gathering questionnaire as a starting point,
which is also available in a SIG-Lite version. Note that you don't
have to be under SOX, ISO27k, or PCI "law" to follow COBIT, ISO 27002,
or PCI-DSS.
When I say, "workable", I am referring to the "root-cause" of the
vulnerability problems in any given organization. I know that many
penetration-testing tool, assessment based organizations,
vulnerability research businesses, and "security" consulting companies
base all of their future income on FUD in order to sell more
products/solutions (and seem to get off on this fact). I find this
demoralizing and reprehensible.
I common approach is to do a full test using a lot of tools that address
known vulnerabilities, common design flaws and such - in combination
with penetration testing tools to sort of false positives and confirm
what sort of consequences a breach would have. In combination with
firewall policy analyzes, looking at the routines surrounding security
all the way from development to maintenance you'll have some sort of
baseline to work out from when it comes to the level of security. The
work will also reveal how well the company can detect and address events.
Firewall policy analyzers? Testing the monitoring and response
capability? You really think these are valuable?
Yeah - I answered on your trap, and I knew it would end up in another
rant - like the ones you've been delivering the last 10+ years.
And yeah, I know that even though this looks like text to the rest of
us, for you it's just a rorschach that makes you go off with a new rant
- usually pretty far away from the subject.
I appreciate that you understand where I'm coming from. If my way of
educating you isn't working for you, then I suggest you figure it out
on your own by researching the facts for yourself.

Shame on you, Rick Rypien!
How can the league expect to sell the sport if professional players have run-ins with fans?
How could you ask players to respect each other on ice if they did not respect the consumer, the fan who paid their salaries?
I read Manny Malhotra defending his teammate and that's fine. But if I pay good money for a ticket, I would expect not to be attacked by a player, even if I told him my thoughts.
But perhaps that's too much to expect from a guy like Rypien.

We offer two ways to locate information:
The 1998 vintage was a winemakers dream in the Walla Walla Valley. The year was very warm with perfect conditions from bloom to harvest. Yields were naturally low and resulted in wines of incredible intensity, color, and fruit. Our 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon is a very dark wine with an incredible nose consisting of aromatic cedar, anise, black cherry, and balsam. This is a very distinctive wine with a rich, heavy mouthfeel. This weighty palate impression is backed by high-quality, fine grained tannins.
"A ripe, round and graceful Washington Cabernet. A pretty wine that's generous with its plum and black currant flavors, swirling with jasmine, rose petal and vanilla flavors, and echoing fruit, spice and floral notes on the long, supple finish."

Wine Spectator
"The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon's bouquet offers aromas of toasty oak and spice. This mouth-coating, explosive wine is crammed with a myriad of spices, jammy blackberries, sweet cherries, and cherry syrup-drenched fruitcake. This is a hedonist's delight, yet it has loads of tannin that provide a firm, tight, structured finish."
93 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Saturated ruby-red. Spicy aromas of black plum, black raspberry, caramel, mocha and nutmeg, along with an exotic suggestion of pineapple. Big, rich, sappy and seamless; fruit is at once gentle and explosive. Large-scaled but not at all heavy, with a rich milk chocolate flavor contributing to the impression of creaminess. Finishes with thoroughly lush, smooth tannins. Shows no sign of the recent bottling."

International Wine Cellar
Exclusive production of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have been the hallmark of Gary Figgins' Leonetti Cellar winery in the suburbs of Walla Walla. Grapes from his own vineyard and from other nearby properties are used to create these rich and robust varietal wines. The attractive new winery building made of native stone houses barrel storage and fermenting tanks.

Sharing part of the valley with Oregon, Walla Walla is on the southeast side of the Columbia Valley. It is primarily red grape land, with Cabernet Sauvignon leading in the vineyards, followed by Merlot and the ever-growing and very popular, Syrah.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Richmond Beers: A History of Bottlers and Brewers in Richmond, Va. By Danny Morris & Jeff Johnson
This 240 page book was a several year project with my friend Dan on the history of the brewers and bottlers in Richmond.
The book took two years to complete (us getting together on nights and weekends) with me co-writing, handling photography, retouching and design.
It's purpose was to showcase the items and history of the bottlers and brewers.

Former West Virginia Mountaineers standout Tavon Austin has seen his draft stock rise big time after an incredible forty time at the 2013 NFL Combine, and the New England Patriots probably won't be able to take him with the #29 pick anymore. Austin used to be regularly mocked to the Patriots, but, judging by the number of teams set to work him out or meet with him in some fashion, that's unlikely to happen.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Carolina Panthers are going to work out Tavon Austin. All three teams could use another wide receiver, and Austin's playmaking ability would be a welcome addition to these three teams. The Pats could lose Wes Welker to free agency and could still use a playmaker if they do keep him, the Ravens need a talented WR to replace Anquan Boldin, and the Panthers have never had a legitimate No. 2 receiver to pair with Steve Smith for quite some time now.
The Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins will also meet with Austin, who could really be picked anywhere. With the way some teams have him rated, though, it seems impossible for Austin to fall out of the first round- let alone the top 20 or 25. Austin is a coveted player, but some believe he is overrated and not worth a first-round pick. A scout told NJ.com that he is like DeSean Jackson without the deep ability (which is true), but I would argue that Austin is a much better route-runner with much better hands. Therefore, he is deserving of a first-round pick, but I think he's more of a 20-32 prospect who rose a bit too much do to his 40 time.
