Some of the best we've tasted, Fallot mustards have been made in the Burgundy region of France since 1840. Their Dijon mustards are made from a mixture of mustard seeds steeped in water, vinegar and salt before being ground by traditional millstones. These stones help keep the mustard from overheating, in turn preserving its natural flavor.
Don't let the addition of honey fool you. While sweet, this mustard still packs a spicy Dijon punch. Perfect on sandwiches, or blended with our Sparkling Wine Vinegar and Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil for our delicious and popular O'Kelly Girls Vinaigrette.

Degrassi Flashback: Jake Epstein (Craig)Posted on 01/05/2011 by Lisa
To prepare for another weekend full of Degrassi, here's a 2005 IM-terview Mary did with Jake Epstein (Craig) -- and some classic Craig pics.
-Jake-: Hi Mary!!
The-Mary: JAKE
-Jake-: Mary!!! How are you?
The-Mary: I am now awesome.
-Jake-: aww
The-Mary: So, what have you been DOING all this busy time?
-Jake-: I've been filming, and prom-ing.
The-Mary: How was prom!?
-Jake-: It was pretty awesome. I went with a really good friend of mine, and we partied the whole night. I had to work on set the next day though...
The-Mary: Oh man. Early call? That's cruel and inhuman.
-Jake-: I agree. It wasn't too too early, but let's just say my acting wasn't ........amazing.
The-Mary: Heh. So any big plans for the summer?
-Jake-: Well, I'm going to be shooting most of the time. Which will be fun. My big sis is moving back to Toronto, so we're thinking of traveling, and just lotso rocknroll and parties.
The-Mary: Rock and roll. Do you burn easily, Jake Epstein? Or are you more of a tanner?
-Jake-: ............my people are from the desert......so yeah I burn!
The-Mary: Wait, if they're from the desert, shouldn't they tan??
-Jake-: ..........yeah......I might tan too one day...one day.
The-Mary: One day when you're not shooting. So what's the last rock show you went to?
-Jake-: Last show I went to was Hawksley Workman.....he's amazing....but just last week I went to see a couple friends of mine at this club downtown T-dot.....they're called Golden Ticket, and they're funky. What was the last show you went to?
The-Mary: Me, the Hold Steady. Who are awesome and who you should check out, though they're not everyone's cup of tea. They have a classic rock sound and great storytelling.
-Jake-: I'd love to hear some of their music....maybe you can send it over.....we can exchange music?
The-Mary: YES, gladly. So when you go to a show, do you stand at the front or the back?
-Jake-: Depends what mood I'm in. I went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers last year, and I waited 8 hours to see them front row in the mosh pit. But other times the pit can be rough, so I like to chill and listen to the music.
The-Mary: Word. At least you can see from the back, being somewhat tall.
-Jake-: I am somewhat tall. This is true. I'm also somewhat trim....?
The-Mary: What songs would you put on a mix CD for a girl that you would never put on one for a boy?
-Jake-: ..........definitely some Hawksley- "safe and sound"......some Coldplay "green eyes" and maybe some Jack Johnson.
The-Mary: So, ok, before I lose you I have to ask some Degrassi questions!
-Jake-: Alright, degras away.
The-Mary: Without giving anything away, since the US-ers haven't seen it yet... we know Craig has a moment with [TOP SECRET]... how do you feel about that? Was it tough to perform?
-Jake-: It was strange, but we were professional. I approached from a professional actor's perspective............does that make any sense?
The-Mary: Completely.
The-Mary: Did you injure yourself at all in the manic Craig shoots? Like that hotel room scene looked kinda harsh on the ol' joints...
-Jake-: Yeah, it was pretty wild.....I actually broke a lamp during the scene and electrocuted my hand.....but I was so into it I just kept going. It was a really intense couple weeks of filming.
The-Mary: I bet.
-Jake-: Alright Mary, I was just told I have 2 minutes before I have to go back to set to film.....
The-Mary: OK one more quickie... I know this was a while ago, but when they made those "Craig in flames" T-shirts for the girls to wear, was it weird seeing your face all burny all over the place?
-Jake-: Yeah it was totally weird! But really funny.....my friends all got hold of those Tees and wore them for about a month.
The-Mary: Ha! Awesome. OK, go back to work, make awesome Degrassis.
The-Mary: Tell everyone they're the best. Including yourself.
-Jake-: Always. Thanks for the talk. It was fun!
The-Mary: Take care and thanks tons!
Degrassi Flashback: Stacey Farber (Ellie)Posted on 01/04/2011 by Lisa
This weekend, Every Degrassi Ever continues! In the meantime, check out this 2005 IM-terview Mary did with Stacey Farber about her trip to the Teen Choice Awards. The top photo is Stacey at the 2005 TCAs, and below that, I've posted some pics of her in character as Ellie.
-Stacey-: MARYYYYYYYY
-Stacey-: It's S Farbs
The-Mary: NO
The-Mary: WAY
The-Mary: OMG
The-Mary: Finally finally finally
-Stacey-: Why have we never met?
The-Mary: I KNOW! Next time you're in NY, for real.
-Stacey-: Serios.... (pronounced seer-ee-ose)
The-Mary: Alright, so how much sleep did you (not) get last weekend?
-Stacey-: I got some sleep. The first night was slightly HORRIBLE because our flight was delayed and we got to our rooms at 3:00 a.m. - approx. 7:00 a.m. our time. And then we had to meet in the lobby at 6:00 to head to "Good Day L.A."
The-Mary: OMG. And that woman has so much... energy. I was watching video of that interview like "how does she do that at negative 150 in the morning?"
-Stacey-: i KNOW
The-Mary: So how is Aubrey as a travel/mall havoc/crazy early interview partner?
-Stacey-: He's amazing. I'm sure you can tell from Best Friends Date or whatever... we are very good friends. He's hilarious and whether we were walking the red carpet or watching movies at the hotel, we were laughing the whole time.
The-Mary: Did you get any In N Out burger?
-Stacey-: Four times. And after I told an interviewer that I loved it, he sent me some gift certificates.
The-Mary: NICE! Such perks! OK: I heard you met Paris Hilton. Tell me everything, leave out nothing.
-Stacey-: O.k. Ra-fael [from The N] had just introduced me to Ashlee Simpson, but it was a little awkward meeting people through him. Suddenly this guy, Jose, appears and tells me he's a huge fan the show, blah blah blah. He does PR in Hollywood (though he's only 27) and he knows EVERYONE so he takes me to chill in Paris' booth/area.
-Stacey-: I met her...she was standing on the booth, naturally. But she was cool. Her hair was to her chin.
The-Mary: No way! So I'm really curious: when she meets people, does she use her high/soft/kinda ditzy voice, or her regular intelligent woman voice?
-Stacey-: Please. The "out of it" voice.
The-Mary: Of course. I should have known. I hoped, but... anyway. More geeky questions: what's it like to walk on a red carpet, is it really soft? What's going through your head?
-Stacey-: The red carpet is jokes. One photographer at the start of the line finds out who you are and then they tell the others. Eventually every photographer is yelling your name. Fortunately, I experienced the chaos at fashion week, so I was half-expecting it.
-Stacey-: Side note: At the Teen People party? I looked down the red carpet at one point and the order was: Aubs, Me, Chad [Michael Murray], Hilary [Duff], Haylie [Duff], Joel [Madden]. JOKES
The-Mary: Sounds perfectly natural to me!
-Stacey-: And it has to be said: I got Jojo's number. And she now has mine. She practically JUMPED on me when we met. She's a huge fan of the show. She said, and I quote, "Degrassi is the realest it gets."
The-Mary: !!! Ok now I love her.
The-Mary: So seeing the different levels of celebrity insanity at that party (I can only imagine)... were you left feeling like there's a point where things could get TOO insane, like is there a fame level you're kind of frightened of reaching? Or did it all look like fun?
-Stacey-: No. That's the thing. I found the whole situation very... comical. To sum it up... the major players at the party were: Hilary, Chad, Wilmer, Ashlee, Ryan, Paris, Nick Cannon, Hayden (the girl from Racing Stripes), Michelle (Ice Princess), etc. THE NEXT NIGHT... and the awards, IT WAS THE EXACT SAME CREW.
The-Mary: They just roll from one big event with lots of cameras to another?
-Stacey-: And it's not like they're friends... they just all go to the SAME events, SAME parties and see the SAME faces.
-Stacey-: They don't all hang out together. And they just check each other out.
The-Mary: Weeeeeeird.
The-Mary: So I don't know if you already have a bf but: meet any cute boys? Get any other phone numbers? Any late night games of celebrity truth or dare in the hotel?
-Stacey-: I do have a b.f. But Wilmer was really cute in person. I didn't like him before I met him.
The-Mary: Yeah I've never gotten the Wilmer thing; why is he such a major player with one sitcom role? Ex-role? Is he just that hot in person?
-Stacey-: He is! He's really attractive.
The-Mary: Ok so... duh, congratulations on the Teen Choice Award! Do you have anything to say to all the voters who went out there and clicked that choice and clicked it hard?
-Stacey-: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.We are so excited and flattered and thrilled that the voters chose a Canadian show as the best summer series. We are getting the recognition that our show deserves.
The-Mary: Word that.
The-Mary: So any lasting hand injuries from the signing in LA? I heard it was BONKERS.
-Stacey-: It was redonkulous. Soo many fans. I loved every minute of it. Plus, some people brought me birthday presents.
The-Mary: Any big birthday plans? How old are you now?
The-Mary: I sang that last part, if you couldn't tell. I don't know if they do that one in Canadia.
-Stacey-: Haha. I'm turning 18.
The-Mary: Radness. A good age.
-Stacey-: Agreed. I'm excited.
The-Mary: Dancing? Party? Sit at home doing facials and watching TV?
-Stacey-: A mix of those things lol. I don't know. Maybe someone will throw me a party.
The-Mary: They better if they know what's good for them. OK. I should let you get back to work.
-Stacey-: Well it's lunch now... so I should grab some eats.
The-Mary: K, enjoy the eats then. It was SO GOOD finally talking to you... I can't wait to meet you for reals. Thanks much for all your typing :)
-Stacey-: I know! I need to visit NYC soon!! Thanks so much for all YOUR typing. This was fun! Xo
Degrassi Flashback: Miriam McDonald (Emma)Posted on 01/03/2011 by Lisa
Join us as we revisit a classic IM-terview with Miriam McDonald from 2005, and "aww" at some old Emma pics.
Note from Mary: Just so you know, the reason Miriam calls me a gorilla at first is because my display name says "Gorilla." It wasn't, like, a diss about how hairy I am. I'm pretty sure.
-Miriam-: yoyo gorilla!!
The-Mary: hey Miriam!
-Miriam-: hiii wasssup?
The-Mary: hiiiiiiii! ok ok. So what did you shoot today? that you can tell us about, I guess
-Miriam-: umm okay without divulging any big secrets we did a hilllllarious scene in a movie theatre involving ryan cooley and a root beer!
The-Mary: oh dear. What's Emma up to these days?
-Miriam-: to be totally honest i don't really know what they have in store for Emma this season. She is constantly changing though so i'm sure there will be some spicy surprises!
The-Mary: SPICY!
-Miriam-: spicy is my word
The-Mary: so in today's scene... were you allowed to crack up for it, or did you have to keep a straight face?
-Miriam-: OMG i was laughing soo hard but luckily i was supposed to so it was all good!
The-Mary: which is harder: keeping a straight face when something's hilarious, or crying on cue?
-Miriam-: for me crying on cue is not too difficult because i am really good at staying focused on something emotional. Comedic scenes need a different, less intense sort of focus so it's easy to crack up!
-Miriam-: but then i just slap myself
The-Mary: ha, literally?
-Miriam-: quite literally! hahah i'm odd, i'll admit!
The-Mary: ok, we need on-set dirt: who smells the best out of the cast?
-Miriam-: oooooooooh ME!!!!!! honestly i'm obsessed with vanilla lotion! hhaahhaa but i'm not gonna build up my odour cuz that would be conceited..... so....... maybe aubrey!?
The-Mary: so, do you have a boyfriend?
-Miriam-: no, and i go through phases when i'm like okay i really want a boyfriend, but more often i love having independence so i am very happy to be single!
-Miriam-: for now
The-Mary: so when are you coming back to NY???
-Miriam-: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and honestly i am more excited than life
The-Mary: you heart it?
-Miriam-: june 18 or sumthin for the season 2 DVD!
The-Mary: oh RAD!
-Miriam-: omg yes, i <3 NYC
The-Mary: where else on the planet do you want to go the most?
-Miriam-: hmmmm go or live.......Live is LA or NYC and go.......maybe Australia
-Miriam-: i want to try surfing sooo desparately
The-Mary: oh man... if you live in LA you'll be all set -- malibu miriam. totally.
-Miriam-: yayayayayay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pleaaaaase!!! that would be a dream
The-Mary: ok, more random questions: do Stefan and Amanda [Mr. Simpson and Emma's mom] ever give you advice, having "grown up" on Degrassi themselves?
-Miriam-: well amanda reminds me to turn my mic off when i go to bathroom, and stefan just jokes around all the time
-Miriam-: but they also teach us about their experiences with mall tours back in the day and how not to get bad press!
The-Mary: oh nice! that's very handy. lindsay lohan should have such friends.
-Miriam-: LOL should she ever!
-Miriam-: but at the same time if it weren't for her "bad press" we wouldn't hear about her all that much and she wouldn't be as huge as she is. so maybe she does have it right??
The-Mary: Good point!
The-Mary: ok, one more really weird question
-Miriam-: ask anything
The-Mary: have you ever met the person who played the baby emma on the original degrassi? or did they just use a doll? i forget.
The-Mary: i'm sorry, my mind is weird.
-Miriam-: nono she is real! and i have not met her but she does exist and i would love to meet her and have like, this emotional reunion type deal
The-Mary: that would be The Best.
The-Mary: OK, i think i've bugged you enough today...thanks SO much miriam, you're awesome
The-Mary: have a great day
-Miriam-: no problem!! see ya lata

Lachish Letter II
Israelite, 586 BC
From Lachish (modern Tell ed-Duweir), Israel
A letter written on a piece of pottery
This is one of a group of letters written on ostraka (pot sherds) found near the main gate of ancient Lachish in a burnt layer which archaeologists have associated with the destruction of the city by the Babylonians in 586 BC. It is written in ink in alphabetic Hebrew. The letters are a poignant record of the city's last days.
In 598 BC Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, invaded Judah after it had rebelled against him. He captured Jerusalem and took the royal family captive. He installed Zedekiah, the former king's uncle, as his choice of ruler. However, rebellion broke out again. Nebuchadnezzar showed no mercy this time and in 587 BC he beseiged and then destroyed Jerusalem.
This was the period at which this letter was written. It came from an officer named Hosha'yahu who was in charge of a military outpost. He was writing to Ya'osh, military commander at Lachish, as the situation worsened.
'To my lord Ya'osh. May Yahweh cause my lord to hear the news of peace, even now, even now. Who is your servant but a dog that my lord should remember his servant?'
Peace was not to be. Nebuchadnezzar moved on to Lachish and nearby Azekah, the last two major cities of Judah to be subdued by the Babylonians. There followed a large-scale deportation of a part of Judah's population. Thus began the exile, a period of great significance for the Jews spiritually, and one which would profoundly influence later religious ideology and teaching.

Protesters rally outside the state Capitol Tuesday as Gov. Rick Snyder signed right-to-work legislation into law.
The so-called "right-to-work" legislation is an affront to workers in our state. It is a disturbing event for all of us who recognize the many contributions of organized labor to the improvement of the middle class and who are proud of our state's history as a principal proponent of the labor movement.
It also should be noted that powerful, self-promoting special interests instrumental in creating the increasing wage and benefit gaps that have disadvantaged workers nationally have been highly influential in fostering this legislation in our state. They are the same forces who, through highly-financed, often misleading advertising campaigns, have caused under-informed citizens to vote against their best interests.
I find it especially sad that Michigan, once a great champion of labor, has been led down the path of diminishing the welfare of its working citizens.
Port Huron, Dec. 12
Unions don't care about good workers
To supporters of unions and union shops: Are you aware of the groups and organizations your dues are supporting with donations? Were you given a say in these? Do you know what salaries, plus benefits, the union officials, their secretaries and other employees receive?
Have you heard of the tiered salaries many employers use?
If these unions have enough of your money to donate, why don't they reduce the amount they take from your paychecks? Or do you make enough that you can't use that money for your own needs?
How many of these union officials have taken a cut in their salaries and benefits? They have asked - insisted in some instances - that you give up some of yours.
The only union I joined was one that forced me to do so as a condition of employment. Everywhere I could see, the union didn't work for the best interest of the good employees. It saw to the benefit of those who were useless.
Right to work? Yes.
Port Huron, Dec. 8
RTW is an attack on working families
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. This came to my mind when I read a Dec. 8 Times Herald article about the Blue Water Area lawmakers supporting right-to-work legislation.
Our state senator, Phil Pavlov, who promoted the RTW legislation, said he didn't know offhand how wages of auto workers in right-to-work states in the South compared to wages of unionized auto workers in Michigan.
It is not too difficult for the senator to acquire this information, but the facts are against his current position. Workers in RTW states have lower wages and less health-care benefits, and work-related accidents are higher. Pavlov wants us to believe this will be good for our families.
RTW laws are heavily backed by the Koch brothers and DeVos family. They have funded TV ads that try to make us believe RTW will be wonderful for Michigan. It will be for the top 1 percent, but not for average families.

Video: Mike Michaud announces he's gay, says it shouldn't matter
PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A surprise-of sorts-to Maine's political world today. Rep. Mike Micchaud, the Democratic candidate for Governor, announced that he is gay.
Michaud "came out" in an op-ed column in the Bangor and Portland papers Monday morning. He says he did it because there has been what he called a "whispering campaign" and some opposition polling about his sexuality, and he decided to bring the issue into the open.
Michaud's sexual orientation had been talked about in Maine political circles for years but the issue never went public, and Michaud has never talked about it himself. He says it was never an issue in any of his previous elections for the Legislature or Congress. "It just never affected me one way or another," Michaud told NEWS CENTER on Monday.
He says people have told him they have received political polling calls about -what he called "push polling"-about his sexual orientation. Michaud did not identify the source of those calls, and his campaign did not offer any evidence of the polling. Local polling experts say they are not aware of such a poll being cone.
Michaud said he decided it was time to put the matter to rest. He said he didn't tell his mother about it until Sunday. Michaud says he never considered it an issue and believes his private life should stay private. Some Republicans speculate the timing of the announcement is designed to get headlines for Michaud the day before Gov. Paul LePage announces the start of his own re-election campaign. That announcement will happen Tuesday night in Augusta.

It takes struggles in life to make strength.
It takes fight for principles to make fortitude.
It takes crises to give courage.
And it takes singleness of purpose to reach an objective.
Welcome to the Whitewater athletic department web-page. Interscholastic sports are one of a number of programs and experiences available at the high school level to assist students in their personal growth and development. Athletics assist with the overall physical and personal development of the student. Among other attributes, athletics can assist in promoting the importance of establishing goals, diligence, perseverance, loyalty, cooperation, and sportsmanship. The results of athletic competition become a secondary issue when compared to the manner in which athletes conduct themselves, exhibiting dignity and grace in the face of adversity. It is expected that all our athletic teams will exhibit maximum effort, commitment, and a winning attitude at all times.

Evidence-Based Marijuana Info
Reasonable dialogue regarding marijuana use has historically proven extraordinarily difficult. Fortunately, scientific research has now uncovered a great deal about the effects of marijuana on the basic working of the brain that can form the foundation for a reasonable exchange. The California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) seeks to educate the public so that each voter can make informed decisions.

10 to try: Parks in Dubai3 Comments 25 January 2011
Dubai's green spaces are a hive of activity and surprises. For example, did you know that Za'abeel Park has a series of monuments dedicated to Dubai's many twin cities, including a traditional Japanese house as an ode to Osaka? Or that there are camel rides on offer in Mushrif Park? What's more, there are far more parks in this desert town than you might suspect, covering 7.2 sq km in total. With temperatures hovering around a very pleasant 25°C (although it can occasionally reach 36°C in February, according to Dubai's Meterological Office; we'll ignore the rare low of 7°C), there has never been a better time to grab a picnic and investigate the city's very varied public gardens, especially if your pockets are still a little empty from the festive season. Read on for our special guide to park life – we guarantee there will be loads you've never even heard of before (and some might be even better than Safa!).

Nice to see a feature on outdoorsy stuff, but I find the lack of proper biking tracks in Dubai a bit frustrating.....Having said that I have read about a development underway to expand the number of biking paths in the city
Posted by: Ma. Jhonnette on 01 Feb ' 11 at 08:14
Nice info! Just to let you know the recently opened Al Barsha PArk is a must see and please include it. I must say very less people are coming (yey!) haha but I must say the place is nothing but tranquil. The 1.5km jogging track is awesome, the kids playground is inviting and for sports lover there are faciltiies to play basketball(full and half courts),tennis, volleyball.

Nice listing & quite interesting, especially for a park-buff (or a green-buff, if you may call it !) like me. While most of my friends, even my family, love to hang out at big boring malls, always crowded and noisy, I always prefer a nice healthy stroll amongst lush greenery to feel fresh & rejuvenated & keep in tough with nature. But honestly I was disappointed with one beautiful park being missed out, the recently opened park at Muhaisnah-4 area (my locality); its small when you compare it to the bigger safa's and zabeel's, but yes, its a perfect well maintained green nicely landscaped park, good for family picnics, evening walks (with a lengthy tiring joggers track all around a lovely lake) & even some sports such as football & tennis. So try to include same in your next edition, since I believe its not worth missing out at all; still dont believe? most welcome to visit and then comment.
Cheers n Peace,

Mark Instinct was always into the sounds of electronic music, but it wasn't until his introduction to drum and bass, at the age of seventeen, that he decided it was time to add his own mark on music. With impeccable taste and skill sets, early bookings with Hive, Pendulum, Noisia and Tech Itch started to gain him recognition in bass circles around Western Canada. At the age of 20 years old, when Mark Instinct started experimenting with music production, he finally found his niche.

It almost seems churlish to wish for more from a franchise that appears increasingly locked into a standard pattern. But more than ever, it feels like time to give it a rest and try something else. Just not more Three Musketeers, please.

ToDoist for Windows Stopped Working
Hi - I am really enjoying the app and use it extensively. You guys did a great job. That being said, I have been running the windows version (in addition to the outlook plug in) fine for sometime now; however, this morning when i try to use it i get an error message "Todoist for Windows has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." I have uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted, downloaded the old version (same results) - any thoughts?
All responses
Hello Neil,
Please try to install either of these two versions and let me know if the issue persists:
1. The latest version https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/afa6bb84ab1d6149f44affa08a8f792a/as/Todoist_for_Windows.exe
2. The earlier version: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/5023a6d6c92501bdfb0e00969703a767/as/Todoist_for_Windows.exe
Also, please check if the app isn't already running in the system tray (notifications area) by any chance.
Best regards,
Hi David...unfortunately, that did not work. However, I changed the internet connection I had (I was working in a hotel) and it started working. So it must have been something with the internet connection I guess. That being said, I know have a different issue - if i shut down Todoist, disconnect my internet and go offline, when i go back to the app i get a blank screen in the app. However, if, i open it up with the internet connetcted, open the app, and then go offline, it behaves fine.
This is correct, our apps are built with HTML5 which requires a connection before going offline. We hope we can improve this in the future, but it is how HTML5 currently works.
As for the other issue, glad you have it working. We do have issues depending on type of network, we hope to solve these soon.
thanks to both of you for the quick replies. After years of searching for a simple app that works for me but has some advanced functionality i found it with Todoist. I look forward to future improvements and enhancements!

Allright, here goes.
And this is another one that I recently played. I played both games in a rated, OTB tournament a couple weeks ago.
here is one of my recent ones, I decided to give the KG a spin
Below is my first attempt at a King's Gambit. I was playing a much higher rated player, but I knew the odds were in my favor as long as I played good moves. So, I spent a little more time asking myself questions after both of us moved. After he moved, questions like, "What is this doing? What is this attacking? What squares is he giving me?" After I moved, questions like, "Where are his dangerous attacks? Where are his possible checks?" Using just that information, and watching a couple of Bobby Fischer's KG games last week, led to what you are about to see. Also, if anyone sees a better attacking line (around move 12), please let me know. (I did not annotate the ending, as it's pretty self explanatory.)
just click on 1. e4. Not sure why I have it starting here...
3. Every annotated game I've read said that once you give a gambit, you should go with it and not try to get a pawn back right away. As for the accepter guarding it, I don't know. I've seen it back fire.Why not 5. d4? attacks bishop. Granted, d3 guards your bishop and e4.5. ... Now d4 is controlled by Black.6. Ne7 attacks d5.8. Nice, though you are just getting back your pawn.9. That is a good fork. No need to appologize. How is d5 weakened? Only c4 is, and the knight is pinned.11. Taking the knight with the bishop was bad. If you wanted it, you should have taken it with your knight, then been ready to play Nd3 after cxd4, or Bxe5 after fxe5. Usually when something is under attack (like your d5 knight) it is best to move it unless there is a good reason for an intermediate move.13. And material is even again, though you are more developed. But why Nh6? I would have gone with Nf6. The bishop must be moved off the a8 diagonal.15. I would have castled here.16. Qxg7 is an option here. Nd6+ looks good too. Oh, you have Nxh8 coming. Good move, that Qe5-e719. Normally Bxb7 fails to Rb8. But since Rxh8, this may be a good idea now.28. Kg6?31. ... Nxd1 32. Rxa2 Nc3 33. Rxa7 Nxe5. yeah, not the best for Black.33. Nc434. My first response was Ng4, heading for f6 and e8.
5... I didn't care to fight him for d4 when d5 was such a critical part of my gameplan, and about to become a very threating square to him. Fighting for d4, would have only slowed me down (and equalized the game, as my only advantages came from an early development v his slower development.)6. Another move I missed. I probably overlooked it thinking, white would have time to pin it, then black would lose d5, but O-O seems his likely continuation after Ne7. A truly missed opportunity by black.9. I knew it was a good move, but weakening c4 gives black chances to undermine d5, which was the stronghold for my attack.11. I don't think I had realized how threatened his queen was already (and probably didn't notice that he had just left it hanging). My thoughts at the time were, even though the d5 knight is under attack, retreating here allows him more time to set defences. I wanted to keep up the pressure, so I wasn't going to retreat. I missed nxf6 purely and simply because I saw a position I thought would win, and went for it (and overlooked something very petty which canceled all my attacking options. The other problem I had with this game is he was playing from egypt, so we were only on a couple hours a day (mine were evening hours) and I was so excited by this position that I rushed instead of looking for the best line. I was also very tired at this point (almost 3am at this point)13. 13...Nf6. Allows 14. Nf7, I think Nh6 was good.19. From here on, I wasn't looking for good moves, just playing safe, making sure he wasn't getting any good looks.33 ...Nc4 would have made thing interesting, although white still holds an insane advantage.34. ...Ng4 35.e7 Nf6 36. e8=Q 37. Nxe8 38 Rxe8 and the win is inevitable.
You played pretty well there. (Your opponent played pretty badly, though) Your one mistake was a minor one.
Another 960 game. Includes an amazing bishop sacrifice that will be sure delight and astound children and adults alike.
I usually play 1.e4 2.Nf3 3.Bc4, the Italian. In the past few days, as an experiment, I've been playing 1.e4 2.d3. Hardly ambitious or agressive. However, I do like playing with different pawn structures now and then, and this one is quite different, for me. It can lead to a Kings Indian Attack structure, but doesn't always need to go that way.
24. Qe7#
26. Rfe1+ Kd6 27. Qxc2 Qc5 28. Rad1+
29. Rd1 a6 30. f7 Kc4 31. f8=Q a5 32. Qc6#
This is yet another game with higher rated player. I got confused of how to play the last few moves and eventually lost by time. Any comments and criticisms will be most valuable for me.
3 Nc3 is developing but not threatening. I usually avoid openings like that, as they seem drawish.The flank pawn moves are not necessary, unless you plan to make an attack that depends on your knight being able to move. Otherwise just develop faster than your opponent. There are other ways to attack once you are developed, and the flank pawn moves may actually weaken a position rather than strengthen it. Note: the g6 square is weakened. If Black castles king side, the f pawn is pinned. Now anything can land on g6 because the h pawn has moved.6. d4 is more interesting. Now Black can play Nd4.7. Correct, guarding c5. But notice how your pawn moved twice. 10. I would have castled first. Leaving the g2 pawn unguarded looks risky. Black could sacrifice a knight to open your castle, but could do little more, and you'd win with the extra material.11. I would have played Nd5, sending the queen home.12. I don't see any real attacks here. It is annoying the Black will trade a back rank bishop for a developed knight, and you will need a move to recapture, but at least you will have the bishop pair. Castling is a conservative move. f4 is playable with d6 blocking in Blacks darks square bishop. You will want to open lines to attack the uncastled king.
Good advice, thank you! A couple further questions:
Could you explain what you mean about the flank pawns being used to allow your knight to move?
But as for my thought on a3, I played it because I was concerned with b5 pushing the bishop back, and then ...Ka5. Do people not play this commonly? I really like the pressure of the light squared bishop on that diagonal, and even with the semi open file for the rook it seems like a bad trade to me. I guess if I had played 3. Bc4 in the first place I would have had adequate time to make this move if necessary.
The idea of using g6 as an outpost is good, I will definitely use that in the future since a lot of my opponents have a habit of playing h6 early
And this one is simply showing off. My opponent fell into the Lasker Trap:
Just played this game about half an hour ago in OTB tournament.
@Flangribaz; Interesting game. I agree with your friend; I don't see how the ..e5 break you were playing for would have done much else than liquidate the center.
Isn't 27.exd4 better for White than 27.Qxd5 ?
Your time trouble 41...Ba5 is unfortunate; that was a tense endgame and looked, at quick glance, playable for Black.
I think you're right. 27. Qxd5 seems to just give me another pawn. Maybe Rcd8 though with the idea of Re2 next move is better for black though if 27. exd4.
Game I won recently...

Adventures in Traxler Counter Gambit:
I lost the 1st game as I didn't have any experince in implementing TCG. I've just watched some video explaining TCG.
The next game was against a higher rated opponent where I played TCG fairly well. Though I could not find a checkmate move due to time constraint, still I enjoyed grabbing most of the material of my opponent. Eventually I lost by time :(
Very nice games, man! But white did not play correctly some moves:
P.D: Was the game "where Black sacrified a lot of materyal" you're refering to this one, played by Traxler himself? http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1224609
P.D.2: If you want to take a look at the Bxf7+ Traxler, you can check these two games by GM Beliavsky, where he drew against Karpov and won Anand with the Traxler:
Thanks a lot pauix for your comment. The first game you mentioned is a real classic, but let me admit I cannot play like Traxler with queen down :). I think I saw another one too where black does not sacrifice his queen, yet able to win the game.
Definitely Bxf7 is better, but then too black has got many options too. I am posting one more game I played just 5 mins ago where bishop took on f7, but I was still able to hold on as black and win the game.
I'll definitely have a look at other two games as I am more interested playing against in Bxf7 variation.

Guide to eaves trough or built-in roof gutters:
This article explains the definition, inspection, and repair of built-in or eaves trough or "integral" roof gutter systems. With photos and text we describe step by step the construction of an integral gutter built into the roof surface or into roof eaves, soffit, or overhang. We explain how to cut gutter parts to achieve proper slope and how the gutter is lined with copper, other metal, EPDM rubber, or modified bitumen to give a durable leak-proof roof drainage system.

Built-In Roof Gutters, Eaves Troughs, or Integral Gutters: definition, features, repairs
This article series discusses how to choose, install, diagnose & maintain roof gutters & downspouts, & roof drainage systems to prevent building leaks and water entry.
[Click to enlarge any image]
We encounter confusion among names for types of on-roof gutter systems that were common on 19th and early 20th century buildings, particularly folks mix up "eaves trough" gutters and "yankee gutters" - that we describe here.
Integral gutter = eaves trough gutter = built-in gutter: the gutter is built into the roof structure itself as a trough (see illustration below).
Eaves trough gutters may project forward from the lower roof edge (shown in the sketch below) or they may be virtually hidden from view from ground level when they are built into the slope of the roof. Sketch courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates.
Eaves trough gutters appealed to architects because they may be hidden entirely from view, or when designed as a projecting eave (sketch at left), they form an architectural element.
Originally eaves trough gutters were lined with terne metal, lead plated tin, or copper, and joints were usually soldered. These installations were durable, often lasting 50 years or more, but especially when exposed to acidic water from accumulated leaves in a gutter that was not maintained, their metal lining corrodes through. [Details about terne metal used on buildings are at TERNE METAL ROOFING.]
A leak in any built in or built-on roof gutter causes more damage to the above-ground building structure than a modern aluminum or copper "K" or rounded gutter that is simply tacked to the very roof edge or fascia.
That's because a leaky eaves trough gutter (or yankee gutter as we describe below) leaks into the building structure itself, rotting the fascia and often inviting rot or insect damage to the building wall below as well.
Repair Methods for Eaves Trough or Integral Roof Gutters
The sketch at left, courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates demonstrates a method that we (DF) used regularly when restoring and repairing old houses: the eaves trough gutter was re-lined using a liner made of single ply membrane, or made using a torch-down modified bitumen liner.
Watch out: if you are going to use any heat-based gutter repair approach such as soldering or using a torch-down modified bitumen gutter liner there is risk that you'll set the building on fire.
When we used torch-down modified bitumen to repair eaves trough gutters we stationed an observer inside the building attic as well as on the ground below, and we had fire extinguishing devices or a water hose immediately at hand.
These worries explain why some gutter repair companies prefer to use glued-up single ply membrane.
Watch out: if your glued-up single ply membrane gutter repair is not installed perfectly, the seams may leak into the structure just as did the old gutter.
Our eaves trough gutter rebuild photos below show a project by the author (DF) at which we had to completely reconstruct the original eaves-trough gutter from scratch, as the original structure had rotted badly. This shallow eaves trough gutter incorporated an elongated triangular gutter bottom board that created the slope necessary for the gutter to drain properly.
Our first eaves trough gutter repair photo ( below left) shows the original eaves trough gutter boards (rotted). We very carefully removed and measured each component part of the gutter as that information made it very easy for us to replicate the original design during the rebuild, including the custom-tapered compound-miter cut boards necessary for gutter drainage.
Our second integral gutter repair photo (below right) shows the basic structure in place but before we inserted the elongated triangular gutter floor that would give slope to the trough.
Our third built-in or eaves trough gutter repair photo (below left) shows all of the drainage board parts in place before we installed our copper lining. Our fourth integral gutter rebuild photo shows the final gutter with copper lined and soldered in place.
Watch out: long runs of copper used for roof flashing or gutter lining is at high risk of flexing and cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. For runs of 10 feet or more you'll need to design a flexible mount and joint system or use a different material to avoid cracks and leaks.
See PORCH COLUMN REPAIR or REPLACEMENT for a discussion of repairs to the porch columns that were damaged from leaks in the gutters on this porch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: what's the best way to convert an integral gutter to fascia-mounted aluminum K-type roof gutter?
I read your instructions for repairing an integral gutter system. We would like to replace our integral system with aluminum gutters, but are unsure how far back to cut the roofing, and whether to remove the rubber membrane before installing the new shingles. Can you help us with these questions? - T.S. 7/31/2013
I'd be glad to try to assist and my comments below may be off -base if I've misunderstood just what you have currently installed for an integral gutter system - I need a more clear understanding of your situation; perhaps you could send along some photos?
Meanwhile here is a general approach to replacing integral gutters with an aluminum fascia-mounted gutter:
The most common approaches to eaves trough gutter troubles are to repair and re-line the existing integral gutter, or to abandon it entirely. In our article above I describe a third approach suitable for historic restoration and where the existing integral gutter structure itself is in such bad condition that re-lining is not an option: in stead we reconstruct the original eaves trough design, making sure that the trough bottoms have adequate pitch to drain properly and adequate depth so as not to simply spill rainwater or snow-melt off of the roof edge.
Abandoning an Eaves Trough Gutter (which sounds like what you want)
When the integral gutter system is in very bad shape or when people are just sick of repairing and re-lining the eaes trough, or where the eaves trough has sagged so that it won't drain properly, just saying "fix it" can lead to a restoration job (like mine above) that is quite expensive. Then owners may consider how best to abandon the existing integral gutter system.
Often when a home has built-in gutters such as the types I've described, the roof structure or soffit flattens out at the eaves in order to contain the gutter system.
Adding an aluminum K gutter at the edge of that won't work (as you realize), because we still have that too-flat and probably leaky or even leaky and rotted eaves trough in place. But chopping off the roof soffit and built-in eaves trough just to add a K gutter is a lot of work that is unnecessary unless that structure is already so badly rotted that it can neither be repaired nor built-over (as I will describe below).
And chopping off the eaves trough structure or reducing the extent of eaves overhang at a home is usually a bad idea for various reasons:
loss of architectural detail that forms part of the value of the structure
overflowing gutters will send water right down or even into the building walls
there may be no remaining eaves overhang to use for roof ventilation intake openings
probably other complaints I've not thought of
If my preliminary image of your roof is right I'd think about leaving the built-in or integral gutter system in place, removing any water and debris in the gutters, drying out what remains, covering that over with plywood that extends at least 4 ft from the outer roof eaves edge up the roof slope so that we get some pitch at the lower roof eaves, then roofing over that using matching materials to what's on the upper roof slope. I'd include ice and water shield, and I'd be sure that I had a good drip edge, properly placed, so that roof runoff spills into the new fascia-attached gutter and downspout system.

Help! I've slacked off and I can't get back!
Ok sports fans…I need some help. I'm in a training funk right now and can't seem to shake it. Any advice is more than welcomed.
State of the athlete: I'm 17ish weeks out from my first full Ironman in Arizona. I've done two half-distance triathlons in the past. One I trained for. One I didn't. Finished them both. One with a smile. One with a not-so-happy face. Can you guess which one? Work is taking up 50ish hours per week. Summer travels are killing my consistency with training. I've been traveling the past three weeks and am traveling the next three weeks. One day in town in six weeks.
Issue at hand: First off, I'm the classic Type-A, overachieving, never satisfied with status quo, "Brittain's never quit," kind of guy. Hard charging. Owner, not a victim. "Excuses are what you find when you take your eye off the goal," dude. While that's really nice at work. It's really taxing when the stress of training for an Ironman starts to take it's toll on the psyche. Not to mention, being a father of three awesome teenage sons and husband to my wife of 19 years. Just as much is going on at home as there is at work.
My training is starting to get REAL. Multiple hour workouts seven days per week. I've got a great coach that I work with.
Real issue at hand: I'm overwhelmed, sensing depression symptoms and super stressed about getting these workouts in. You know how (maybe you don't know how) you get when you have so much to do, you feel paralyzed and lethargic about doing any of it? That's my entire life right now. But, I'm wired to my core that I can't quit anything. Right now, I want to tell the Ironman sayonara and focus on shorter distance triathlons or even just a marathon. I've told scores of people that I'm training for an Ironman. Plus, I've dropped some coin on the race. I don't want to tell them why I couldn't do it.
In my head, I knew it would be tough. But, I had no idea how much of a lifestyle that Ironman training is. If you're considering one, please heed my advice and make sure you have capacity to take on the necessary training for one. As they say where I'm from in NC, "It ain't no joke…"
Am I just going through a phase? Is this the wall that I need to push through? Will it get better? I know it won't get easier. But, I want to wake up and be excited about training for it. Not wake up and have the dark cloud of my daily workout raining on my parade from the moment I put my feet on the floor.
I'm working on strategies…ones like: Get up early and do my workouts before work. Find an accountability partner. Set really small frequency goals to get to where I actually do all seven workouts in a week. It's actually 10 workouts counting three two-a-days I do with the gym. Focus on the positives and successes that I have right now. I shouldn't complain about being able to swim 2400yds, ride 50 miles and run 10 miles (not all at once). I'm just burned out.
Maybe this journey includes period of being a Lazyman. I know I'm already a Crazyman for signing up for an Ironman. But, this race doesn't define me as a Man. There are much more important things in life that define that.
Any advice or experiences are appreciated. I've got to get over this hump! Thanks everyone!
Every year, our church does a youth retreat called "D-Now," which is short for Disciple Now. This year, the theme is The Pursuit. Now, before non-spirituals tune me out, read me out.
I can go on and on about our various pursuits in life. Those pursuits can be spiritual, happiness, love, money, physical fitness and so forth. While we can also debate which ones of those should rank first, second, etc…the point of this morning's message relates to whatever pursuit you have.
The message is this…we can be so focused on the pursuit that we totally ignore or miss very important things going on around us. Your faith, family, friends, co-workers could be in need of our help or attention. But if we're solely focused on our pursuit, we may get what we want but there could be quite a bit of fallout.
I would simply encourage you to take stock of the things around you while you're in hot pursuit of what you want out of life. Keep the most important things, the most important things. I would caution you that if you don't, your success or achievement will be a very lonely award. Bring others along with you for the ride. Those sorts of rides are the ones that altered history and built some of the foundations we take for granted today.
How do you do this? Just take a pause and look around for a few minutes. It doesn't take a Zen meditational state to see how life is going. But if you don't take the step of pausing, you'll never look back to check the wake that you're creating in your life and others.
Enjoy the pursuit! Best wishes for a balanced one.
Daily Read- If You're a Leader, You Have to Commit.
What commitments are you making when you take on a leadership role? Your answer may determine how effective you really are. See the difference between those who show up every day very clear on what it means to be a leader, and others who are going through the motion. It all comes down to these four commitments:
1. Leadership is a decision. You have to really define who you are as a leader, not just an individual contributor to the organization. Real leaders accept responsibility as the heads of their teams, and they're always working to do things better.
2. Leadership is an obligation. Once you've made that deliberate decision to be a leader, you must accept that the expectations are higher for you than for everyone else in your organization; this includes holding to a higher standard of behavior than you might expect from those around you.
3. Leadership is hard work. Leadership is hard and getting harder. When you're running a business, there are a lot of great things that have to get done, and also some hard things; being a leader means you can't avoid these difficult tasks and issues
4. Leadership takes a community. This is an especially important commitment for small business owners, who often fall into feeling isolated in their positions. You have to build a sense of community within your company, with bedrock relationships and people who can act as your advisors. And you must nurture other leaders within your organization, and hold them to the same four commitments.

Daily Read – How Healthy is Your Team?
Being a great team is a choice. It doesn't just happen naturally when you bring together a group of talented individuals; it takes hard work and a firm commitment that can lead to great payoff. However, some teams don't achieve the best results because they're not operating as productively as they could be. Why? Your team is unhealthy. Here are five quick questions to gauge your team's health (and future prosperity):
1. Are your team meetings a nightmare? Toxic: The leader holds court while everyone around the table nods their heads and takes notes; no discussion; no argument; in fact, hardly any interaction at all. A healthy team: discusses issues relevant to everyone present, people voice their opinions without fear., decisions are made and everyone is clear on the reasoning, benefit, and company-wide message.
2. Do you always get the best ideas on the table? Toxic: People hold back their honest opinions from the group because they fear being ridiculed or, worse, ignored. On healthy teams: opinions, no matter how far into left field, are shared at the meeting, in front of the leader. The common goal is to hear all of the best ideas before making a decision for the organization.
3. Is there backstabbing? Toxic: Team members hold one another accountable and discuss destructive behaviors open; or complain to colleagues but resist telling the person directly. High-performing teams: trust each other and know that whatever feedback they receive, no matter how hard it may be to hear, is aimed at getting the best results for the team. It is not personal. Of course, teammates tell each other the kind truth, the most constructive way of saying something.
4. Do you hold each other to the same standards? Toxic: Do you look the other way when star performers act out, yet hold others accountable for their mistakes? Successful Teams: understand there are different roles on every team, but everyone is held to the same standard. Regardless of whether they're generating revenue, providing support, or leading, each person plays by one universal set of rules.
5. Do team members put the good of the group ahead of their personal goals? Toxic: People forget that the goals of the team supersede their personal or departmental goals. Healthy Teams: automatically put the good of the whole first, realizing if the team is struggling and needs to cut expenses that everyone needs to make sacrifices in their areas for the greater good. People have a sense of shared responsibility, and they trust that they'll be taken care of when it matters most.
How is the health of your team?

Daily Read – Business is A Lot like Sports.
It's a great day when your team wins and you can sit back and bask in their glory. Pin the accomplishment on the Coach, the teamwork, the chemistry of the offense or a great fan base. The amazing fact is there are a lot of similarities between sports and business and a huge amount we can learn from the example of top sports teams. Here are the top five:
- Teamwork is paramount. There is no I in team and surrounding yourself with great people means there is always somebody else who can step up and do a great job. Try to go it alone and you will probably fail unless you have a strong support structure.
- Mentorship matters. A great sports mentor can teach the value of mental toughness to partner with natural talent and hard work. It can be the missing link between a promising athlete or businessperson and a successful one.
- Be resilient and determined. Any entrepreneur who expects instant success is setting themselves up for a fall. You need resilience and determination to keep getting back up every time you suffer a blow.
- Have pride and purpose. Regardless of what stage your business is at, you should think about how you can make a positive impact upon people's lives, not just focus upon profit.
- Delegate wherever possible. There are some things you simply have to do for yourself. But as the tasks for any entrepreneur mount up, you need to delegate to others in order to free yourself up to think about the bigger picture, much like a head coach who defers to a trainer, conditioning coach, etc.

Daily Read – Don't Skip Your Workout!
You probably already know that sitting at your desk hunched over your computer for ten hours a day doesn't make for a healthy lifestyle. Working long hours or having snow on the sidewalks doesn't exactly motivate you to throw on the running shows and go for a run either. Crunched for time yet fearing the consequences of a sedentary life, many office workers have begun adopting office workouts to at least give them some activity during the day. Here's a quick run-down of simple ways to squeeze your work-out in:
- Take 5 minutes, three to four times a day to do a series of desk push-ups, squats and chair dips.
- Take the stairs (yes, even if you are on the tenth floor!)
- Use a standing desk, bicycle desk, or sit on an exercise ball.
- Walk to your co-workers office to talk instead of sending an email
- Bring an exercise band and do a simple resistance workout.
- Take a walking lunch at a nearby mall or in a park if it's warm enough.
The key is taking frequent breaks from being sedentary, even to do something that requires very minimal effort—and/or sitting less altogether—has been proven to be significantly beneficial to metabolism and it will make you a more productive worker!
How do you squeeze exercise in when you're crunched for time?

Daily Read – Hang on Tight to the Energy and Agility of the Early Days!
"It was so much fun in the old days." Never mind the stress of making payroll and the long nights- the energy and vibrancy of a start up's office culture is hard to forget but easier than you think to imitate. Here are seven approaches to try:
- Stay agile, and move fast. As companies grow they agility and decision making can be slowed, but small startups are fast acting and move quickly – even when they make a wrong decision.
- Maintain always-on innovation. When we think of environment we think of perks like game rooms and snacks, but more important is remaining open to innovative and disruptive thinking; employee-driven innovation.
- Stay close to your employees. Building a culture of mutual respect and openness fosters a positive work environment.
- Create ways to stay small within the company. Operate regional offices and internal groups as mini-startups, each with their own mores and idiosyncrasies that inspire and energize your employees like small companies.
- Have a consistent line of communication. By maintaining a culture of consistent communication, employees feel fully informed, valued, and invested in the business.
- Always listen. Keep an ear open to what employees have to say about everything related to the business. Use online internal communications that all employees have access to.
- Develop strong leaders. Allowing employees to explore different jobs within the organization builds great experience across the board, and it matches the best people to the best roles so you can build for the future.
Do you have any ways to keep the start-up culture that has worked for you?

What's Different
Social Apps
Occasionally we make an investment of seed-size into a larger round being led by another venture firm. For example, a first institutional round of $3M, where another venture firm invests $2.25M, and we invest $750K.
We call these Pseudo-Seeds, because while the investment size resembles that of a Seed, the company is typically more mature than a Seed, and sometimes may already have product or revenue.
We do this when we love something about the investment â e.g., the entrepreneurs, or the domain, or the business model, or the far out brashness of an idea â but it doesn't quite meet the metrics of a Series A for us.
In other words, for us the investment is still an experiment, while for the other venture firm it may be less of an experiment.
We reciprocate by not using up a board seat, and not adding to the entrepreneurs overhead in any way, while still adding the value which both sides are speculating that we'll add, which is the reason for creating such an arrangement in the first place.

The Gamberi desert is home to many nomadic peoples that gather weeds and shrubs throughout the summer and fall in order to heat their living quarters during the cool winter nights.
The Gamberi desert is also the future home of the Afghan National Army. The facility that is being built there is almost comparable to those facilities found in the states.
We traveled the 45-minute drive out to Gamberi on Monday in order to shoot some of our crew-served weapons with the ANA soldiers. Col. Afzal, the 2nd Brigade commander of the ANA wanted to not only shoot some of the crew served weapons, but also some rocket propelled grenades.
Being a former mujahedeen fighter during the war against the Russians, this seemed quite appropriate for him. The ANA S2, who also made the trip with us, decided to give me an RPG to fire toward the hills; so being rather willing to try new things out here I decided that I would probably never get another chance to shoot one, so I jumped at the opportunity.
The whole day out there at Gamberi ended up being a fairly decent day and I think that a lot of the ANA soldiers were able to gain a little more experience in firing their weapons systems.
I stayed fairly busy throughout the rest of the week with the ANA S2. We have been in the process of planning an operation in our neighboring province and he thought it would be a good idea to go out to Laghman to visit with one of the intelligence chiefs.
So, we caught a flight over to FOB Mehtar Lam, which sits at the mouth of two primary valleys that reach into Southern Nuristan. We had little difficulty in meeting with the chief, but we came to find out that the night before a stabbing occurred on the FOB. There was an ongoing investigation throughout the day that kept the FOB on lockdown; we were only able to catch our flight back to Jalalabad after we were cleared by the CID guys who were conducting the investigation.
I always thought of Mehtar Lam as being a fairly calm and quiet area. It just went to show that even with a war there can still be simple criminal acts that may have no relevance to the insurgency.
Overall, the New Year was brought in without much hoopla. A few of us spent the evening burning a few boxes in a burn pit while drinking a few cups of coffee before we decided to call it a night.
I can't say I have made any New Year's resolutions, but with the New Year comes a new hope for this country. While I think progress is certainly possible here, I feel as if we have a long way to go before stability can really be reached in the region. The Afghans I work with are willing and capable, but the limitations and constraints that act against them given the situation of the country is immense and leaves me to wonder if those obstacles can ever be overcome.
I am confident, however, that God has a plan for this place and that the outcome of this war will fit into a much larger picture.
Thanks for all of the continued prayers and support! Take care and God Bless.

Three-million-mile Volvo song: sing along to "The Ballad of Irv Gordon"
Images courtesy of Tom and Ellen Demarest, and Volvo Cars North America
Every car nut worth the motor oil running through his or her veins knows the story of Irv Gordon, the retired science teacher from East Patchogue, New York, who put an astounding 3,000,000 miles on the Volvo 1800 S that he bought new in 1966. Irv's red coupe turned that 3 millionth mile in Alaska last fall, and this momentous occasion inspired the creation of a song by his friend, the talented Tom Demarest.
Tom, along with his equally talented wife and co-creator Ellen, is no stranger to fans of NPR's Car Talk radio program; a number of his car-themed songs have been featured through the years, including his famous tune, "An Old Volvo." They've made a ringtone of that song available for free download.
As a special favor for this dedicated car-loving audience, many of whom have a soft spot for Swedish iron, Tom has made "The Ballad of Irv Gordon" available for free listening in its entirety. Enthusiastic members of the Hemmings Nation can visit his website and hear the song- and if you enjoy what you hear, we hope that you'll show your appreciation by purchasing a download (for $1 or more).
Thank you, Tom, for sharing your art with us, and keep on rollin', Irv!

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Vineyard Articles
Cellar Master Luis Contreras, Assistant Winemaker Jim Duane and Winemaker Nicki Pruss, taste Chardonnay grapes before they are pressed.
A Tale of Two Harvests: Harvest Report 2007
If you ask Winemaker Nicki Pruss or Vineyard Manager Kirk Grace about the 2007 Napa Valley harvest, they might ask you "which one?" That's because they both see 2007 as having two very distinct phases: before and after the intense heat spike of late August - early September. Kirk calls it the "two full moons harvest," because both phases were clustered around full moons that occurred in late August and late September.
Although there was lower than usual rainfall throughout the season, a relatively cool summer made irrigation unnecessary. Vines were healthy and balanced, producing smaller berries with good color, flavor concentration and acid structure. Overall tonnage is down across all varietals, although not dramatically.
For Kirk, the two phases – and the respite in between – were a blessing. "For Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, we usually start to pick between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. so that the grapes come into the winery cool and the acid stays bright, so it was nice to get a break before the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot came in," he says. Kirk is especially proud of his vineyard crew, some of whom have been with Stag's Leap Wine Cellars for over 15 years. "These guys are highly skilled – some of the best in the Napa Valley."
For Nicki, the "civilized" pace of this year's harvest was briefly interrupted when we lost power for nearly five hours, bringing crush to a halt. Luckily, we had no presses or other machinery in the middle of critical tasks when the power went out! Thanks to a few generators we were soon back online.
This year, Nicki's harvest team included a cellar intern from Australia and two grape samplers, just out of college, who logged many miles among the vineyard rows collecting grape samples that they brought to the winery for sugar and acid analysis. This data helps Nicki monitor grape maturity on a block by block basis. But it's not until she actually tastes the fruit out in the vineyard that picking decisions are made.
With wines still fermenting it's too early to make predictions about the 2007 vintage. But Nicki, who celebrated her 10th harvest with Stag's Leap Wine Cellars this year, is especially pleased with the intensity of color and depth of flavors in these young wines.
