The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Easy Glide Wheels
Our state-of-the-art in-line wheels incorporate sealed steel ball bearings and are mounted on solid steel axles in custom-designed, shock-absorbing bushings. They roll smoothly and quietly for hundreds of miles.
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.
This item has a pocket or compartment that is designed to hold eReaders including the iPad, Kindle and Nook.
Tumi's patent-pending DuraFold™ construction method folds and reinforces the corners of hardside cases with heavy-duty stitching and impact-resistant caps that provide superior corner strength and impact resistance for long lasting use.

Could we orbit a telescopic satellite 1 light hour above the earth, and use it to zoom in on crimes, after the fact?
Just an odd thought... I assume it would be too far to get a clear image... but we are getting much better at that sort of thing...
Could we see if someone was really defending themselves in an infrared shot? A getaway vehicle? Or, is that too far to have any predictable orbit or make out something so small?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 30 2013: Very unpractical. Just imagine the tremendous precision it would require just to keep track of earth, not considering it would only see, at most, half of the planet at any given time, other factors like clouds, storms and other atmospheric perturbations would hide wide areas. And the light reaching that satellite, I think, it would be too dim to get any details. Besides it would take at least one hour to send the commands for any required adjustments.
Jan 31 2013: Thanks for that Fritzie. I miss a few of you guys too. I'm just getting too far off the beaten path to post in political debates now, and that's my favorite stuff talk about, so I've got to find another home for my ramblings. Writing more fiction at the moment.
If you thought any of my projects were viable, and you know people with drive, tell them to go for it. I'm probably gonna end up living in a forest or a desert somewhere without internet, someone might as well use them, lol.
Jan 30 2013: At such distance, I don't think "oribit" (or more accurately spinning around the earth ) is a viable idea, just consider the tremendous speed a satellite like that should travel, at 1 hour light it would have to go at about 100 MILLION miles an hour in order to keep looking at a fixed point on earth, I don't know how much energy it would require, but I'm certain it is a veeeeeery huge amount, and at such distance I don't think there are any fuel stations, and options like solar panels won't provide even a small fraction of it, so how would you keep a continuous supply of fuel for such rocket???, how much would it cost???, who's going to pay for it???
There are other problems, like: the size of the orbit which in rough numbers is about 2 BILLION miles, so even if the satellite is the size of a base ball, there is a big chance for a collision with something big enough to destroy it... so how would you keep it safe???
So if the optical technology for such a project existed, a much better idea, from my point of view would be a set of several of such satellites located at "geo-static" locations...
One last problem: suppose the satellite informs you about a crime that happened 1 hour ago... no wait... the signal takes 1 hour to travel from the satellite to earth so actually the crime happened 2 hours ago... enough time for any criminal to leave the city.
Jan 31 2013: Yup completely impossible, didn't even look up how many light minutes away from the sun we were, there would not be gravity to support an orbit. I just came up with this after hearing about the new next gen telescope and programming NASA is working on, which could in essence re focus an image, after the picture was taken... and at the same time thinking about a short story where humans send a faster than light speed craft away from us with a camera, so we can remotely view the past.
So I just thought... Combine them... Even though the first actually makes the second completely unnecessary.
As to time though... I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, just give you what cars were in the area when shots went off... etc. Bits and pieces. Geostatic locations are the way to go.
Jan 31 2013: The concept of orbit at 1 light hour was just bonkers... didn't think about how close the sun is in light time. It won't even feel our gravity. Geosynchronous (that's the one which maintaines the exact speed of the earth right?), pointed at static dense population centers, taking enourmous data pictures, which could then be subpoenaed, in portion, by law enforcement provided they have compelling evidence a crime was commited... would actually just make sense... but i'm sure they're already working on it, and you won't need a subpoena, or warrant, etc, they'll just pay people to watch us : p
Jan 31 2013: In my experience, David, those of us who are kind of "different" can often do a lot of good through unique sorts of creative interventions in the status quo- the "what is someone like you doing in a place like this?" situations. You have to decide its important enough, though, and situate yourself where you believe you can make a difference.
It can be stressful, and I totally understand the off-the-grid, in the woods pull.
Feb 1 2013: I'm not violent or competitive either. What I meant is that trying to change things that just aren't right often means swimming upstream alone, which can be stressful and doesn't feel worth it to a lot of people. I have tended to do that sort of thing, speak truth to power as it were, because I can't just stand by and watch.
Feb 6 2013: You're not just standing and watching... You're contributing your energy and taxes... Have done so for your entire life. Society, culture, government, community... whatever you want to call it... It is the mechanism through which violent psychopaths, use fear and sex, to manipulate good men and women into commiting horrifc murders. The only solution, is for people to stop contributing. There is nothing to fear, except the violent nutjobs who believe they have the right to govern you. If something was good, it would not require forced participation.

(RNN) - No explosives have been reported at University of Texas in Austin or North Dakota State in Fargo after the schools received bomb threats Friday.
"We're extremely confident that the campus is safe," said UT-Austin President Bill Powers at a news conference. "We are allowing people to go back into buildings."
Powers spoke at the conference with Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell, city manager Marc Ott and Robert Dahlstrom, the university's chief of police.
Powers said an unspecified threat came into the school's main phone line about 8:30 a.m., and that officials evaluated the threat with local and federal agencies.
"It got to the point where we thought the prudent thing to do was to clear all buildings," he said.
The word to evacuate was given through social media, online and through texts.
Both UT-Austin and North Dakota State ordered evacuations of all students and staff. NDSU planned to reopen campus, and full operations are scheduled to resume at 2 p.m., according to the school's website.
At 11:38 a.m. CT, UT-Austin officials announced via Twitter that buildings would be reopened at noon, and activities except for classes would resume at 5 p.m.
Director of communications Rhonda Weldon said the caller's accent was "Middle Eastern" and he claimed to be with al-Qaida.
"We heard the fire alarm and it was like 'evacuate immediately,'" Keila Crosby, a student at UT-Austin, told YNN. "Then we went downstairs and we got the text that said, 'Evacuations due to threats on campus, immediate evacuate all buildings, get as far away from the buildings as possible, further information to come.'
"Everyone's saying it's a bomb threat. So that's kind of what we're working with right now. I was in my friend's room getting ready a sticky note to put on a cupcake for my friend's birthday. Now we just have to wait and see what happens."
At 10:46 a.m., @UTAustin tweeted the time specified in the threat had passed, but they had not completed a search of all buildings.
In Fargo, police Lt. Joel Vettel and NDSU President Dean Bresciani held a news conference at 10:45 a.m. CT. They said the threat made against the school was not specific, so they decided to do a full evacuation.
Vettel said police have been in contact with officials in Austin, but there had been no information connecting the two threats.
Campus police announced the evacuation through an emergency alert at 9:49 a.m.
"NDSU is requiring all employees and students to leave campus by 10:15 a.m.," it stated. "This includes residence hall students, who, if necessary, should walk to locations off campus."

Fault Lines in Our Democracy, a recent study from Educational Testing Service, shows that "weak civics knowledge among young people is linked to less voting, less volunteering and greater distrust in government."
For those who are civics challenged, this has nothing to do with whether you drive a Honda or whether you get lost on your way to the polls.
It is about our democracy and how we participate in important decisions. And it also is about how we educate our children.
Before I tell you how well our kids did on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in civics, let's see how well you do.
Below are some of the issues our students were asked to know:
- What is the main source of government funding?
- What is the purpose of the constitution?
- Identify a right protected by the first amendment.
- What is the role of the Supreme Court?
- Identify the meaning of a Supreme Court decision
- Identify the effect of foreign policy on other nations.
Piece of cake? Not so much?
The questions above that are in bold italics are the Piece of Cake questions. If you got those right, you hit "basic" knowledge.
To be proficient, a 4th grader should know the purpose of the constitution, an eighth grader should know the role of the supreme court and a 12th grader should know the effect of foreign policy on other nations. (Source: National Center for Education Statistics, The Nation's Report Card: Civics 2010 (NCES 2011-466), Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, 2011)
Did you beat the kids?
According to the report, only 27 percent of fourth graders, 22 percent of eighth graders and 24 percent of 12th graders were proficient on the 2010 NAEP assessment.
The report also found that if you are young, less educated and in a lower-income group, you are less likely to vote.
These findings have big implications for our democracy and for how we make decisions about the future of our state and our nation.
So what can we do? Parents can be role models.
The report found:
"Parents… can boost the civic participation of their children. In fact, recent analysis by the Center for Labor Market Studies has shown that the home may be a much more important influence than the schools. In the 2010 election, 18- to 19-year-olds were much more likely to vote if a parent voted (32 percent versus 4 percent). This large difference held across both gender and racial/ethnic groups. These data support the notion that good civic behavior is learned in the home, as well as in school."
Here are some suggestions:
- Register to vote. Click here here for information on how to do this.
- Find out how your local school supports civics education.
- Support community efforts to register and encourage eligible young people to vote.
California State PTA believes civics learning should be a priority in school reform.
We helped write Proposition 38 on the ballot in November to support a comprehensive education for all our children. This specifically supports funding for civics and history in our schools.
You can find more resources to support civics education on the California State PTA website. With an important election coming up, we encourage you to use these resources in your school and community, including MY VOTE.
Carol Kocivar is the president of the California Parent Teacher Association.

b12 Overview Information
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin. It can be found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory.
Vitamin B12 is used for treating and preventing vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition in which vitamin B12 levels in the blood are too low. It is also used to treat pernicious anemia, a serious type of anemia that is due to vitamin B12 deficiency and is found mostly in older people. For this purpose, people use either a supplement that is taken by mouth or a gel that is applied inside the nose.
Vitamin B12 is also used for memory loss; Alzheimer's disease; boosting mood, energy, concentration and the immune system; and slowing aging. It is also used for heart disease, lowering high homocysteine levels (which may contribute to heart disease), male infertility, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, mental disorders, weak bones (osteoporosis), swollen tendons, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, a skin disease called vitiligo, preventing cervical and other cancers, and skin infections.
Some people use vitamin B12 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple sclerosis, preventing the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Lyme disease and gum disease. It is also used for ringing in the ears, bleeding, liver and kidney disease, and for protection against the poisons and allergens in tobacco smoke.
Vitamin B12 is applied to the skin either alone or in combination with avocado oil for psoriasis and eczema.
Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in various vitamin B complex products.
How does it work?
Vitamin B12 is required for the proper function and development of the brain, nerves, blood cells, and many other parts of the body.
b12 Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Treatment and prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency, and diseases caused by low vitamin B12 levels.
- Treatment of pernicious anemia.
Likely Effective for:
- Reducing a condition related to heart disease called "hyperhomocysteinemia" when taken with folic acid and vitamin B6.
Possibly Effective for:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Some research shows that taking vitamin B12 with other vitamins including folic acid and vitamin B6 might help prevent getting the eye disease called age-related macular degeneration.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Sleep disorders.
- Preventing another stroke.
- Improving thinking and memory in people aged 65 and older, when used in combination with vitamin B6 and folic acid.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Shaky-leg syndrome. There are some reports that one form of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) can help relieve tremor due to shaky-leg syndrome.
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis). Limited research shows that applying a specific vitamin B12 0.07% cream (Regividerm) to the affected area twice daily reduces the extent and severity of eczema.
- Alzheimer's disease. Limited research suggests that higher vitamin B12 intake does not seem to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
- Canker sores. Preliminary research shows that taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg under the tongue (sublingually) might help reduce the number of canker sore outbreaks, length of outbreaks, and pain caused by the canker sores.
- Cervical cancer. Increasing vitamin B12 intake from food and supplements, along with taking folic acid, thiamine, and riboflavin, might help to prevent cervical cancer.
- Breast cancer. There is no evidence that dietary vitamin B12 alone reduces the risk of breast cancer.
- Lung cancer. Preliminary evidence suggests that there is no relationship between levels of vitamin B12 in the blood and lung cancer.
- Allergies.
- Aging.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
- Preventing re-blockage of blood vessels after heart artery dilation (balloon angioplasty).
- Fatigue or tiredness.
- Diabetes.
- Heart disease.
- Lyme disease.
- Immune system problems.
- Memory problems.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- High cholesterol.
- Psoriasis.
- Other conditions.
b12 Side Effects & Safety
Vitamin B12 is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth or when the prescription-only, injectable product is used correctly. In some people, vitamin B12 might cause diarrhea, blood clots, itching, serious allergic reactions, and other side effects.
Vitamin B12 also appears to be safe when used on the skin for psoriasis. Mild itching has been reported in one person who used a specific avocado oil plus vitamin B12 cream for psoriasis.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Vitamin B12 is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant or breast-feeding women when taken by mouth in the amounts recommended. The recommended amount for pregnant women is 2.6 mcg per day. Breast-feeding women should take no more than 2.8 mcg per day. Don't take larger amounts. The safety of larger amounts is unknown.
High numbers of red blood cells (polycythemia vera): The treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency can unmask the symptoms of polycythemia vera.
Abnormal red blood cells (megaloblastic anemia): Megaloblastic anemia is sometimes corrected by treatment with vitamin B12. But this can have very serious side effects. Don't attempt vitamin B12 therapy without close supervision by your healthcare provider.
Leber's disease, a hereditary eye disease: Do not take vitamin B12 if you have this disease. It can seriously harm the optic nerve, which might lead to blindness.
Allergy or sensitivity to cobalt or cobalamin: Do not use vitamin B12 if you have this condition.
b12 Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Chloramphenicol interacts with VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12 is important for producing new blood cells. Chloramphenicol might decrease new blood cells. Taking chloramphenicol for a long time might decrease the effects of vitamin B12 on new blood cells. But most people only take chloramphenicol for a short time so this interaction isn't a big problem.
b12 Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
The typical general supplemental dose of vitamin B12 is 1-25 mcg per day.
The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of vitamin B12 are: Infants 0-6 months, 0.4 mcg; infants 7-12 months, 0.5 mcg; children 1-3 years, 0.9 mcg; children 4-8 years, 1.2 mcg; children 9-13 years, 1.8 mcg; older children and adults, 2.4 mcg; pregnant women, 2.6 mcg; and breast-feeding women, 2.8 mcg. Because 10% to 30% of older people do not absorb food-bound vitamin B12 efficiently, those over 50 years should meet the RDA by eating foods fortified with B12 or by taking a vitamin B12 supplement. Supplementation of 25-100 mcg per day has been used to maintain vitamin B12 levels in older people.
- For vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia: cyanocobalamin doses of 300-10,000 mcg (microgram) daily have been used. However, some evidence suggests that the most effective oral dose is between 647-1032 mcg/day.
- For high blood levels of homocysteine: vitamin B12 500 mcg in combination with 0.5-5 mg folic acid and 16.5 mg pyridoxine has been used.
- For preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD): vitamin B12 1 mg, folic acid 2.5 mg, and pyridoxine 50 mg daily has been studied.
- For atopic dermatitis (eczema): a specific vitamin B12 0.07% cream (Regividerm) applied twice daily has been used.
- For psoriasis: a specific cream (Regividerm, Regeneratio Pharma AG, Wuppertal, Germany) containing avocado oil plus vitamin B12 0.7 mg/gram applied for 12 weeks twice daily has been used.

What's in my raw honey?
If you've opened up your jar of honey and found "floaties" you may be wondering who to call to complain. But did you know that really raw honey is actually supposed to contain those "floaties." In the honey industry this is known as debris. Debris consists of bee pollen, propolis, beeswax, and the occasional bee part. Commercial honey packers will filter this out to create a crystal clear, consumer friendly look, but doing so requires heating to higher temperatures and running the honey through a fine mesh filter.
Most of this debris will float to the top during storage and is scraped off before pouring however there will be some mixed in with our honey due to the process we use to bottle the honey. Let me take you through that process.
During extraction the honey is put into 55-gallon drums for storage. These drums of honey will crystallize and will require warming to decrystallize. We have developed a way to warm the honey very gently over a period of up to a week to ensure that no damage is done to the crystaline structure of the honey. This also ensures the enzymes that make raw honey so beneficial aren't damaged. Because we warm the honey only enough to pour it is still thick and cloudy. This thick and cloudy honey will pass through a strainer to remove the large debris but isn't filtered so bits of pollen, beeswax, propolis, and the occasional bee part pass through. This can be evidence that you honey is much more natural that the honey distributed by large commercial packers. You see, the honey costs just about the same for everyone to produce, but packers heat their honey to such a temperature that it flows like water. This "honey" (a mere shadow of what is once was) can be packaged very quickly. And the faster they can be packaged the more money the large outfits make.
We take a different approach and focus on quality, service, superior taste and maintaining the health benefits of all natural pure raw honey. Every jar is hand packed with this in mind. So in essence, if you see these "floaties" you should consider yourself fortunate because you get more of "the good stuff." Just another reason why The Honey Jar is quickly becoming "Utah's Favorite Honey!"

$14.99More InfoSpeedway Disc Brake Residual Valve, 2 PSI, Purplex
Ever had problems with a spongy pedal or slow, unresponsive brakes? If so, you may need a residual pressure valve installed in your brake line. A residual valve acts like a one-way or check valve to maintain brake system pressure to eliminate the problems of a spongy pedal. This 2 PSI residual valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and disc brake calipers to keep 2 PSI of residual pressure at the caliper after the brake pedal is released. This ensures that you will have a high, firm pedal next time you press the brake pedal.
If your master cylinder is located below the floorboard, installing a 2 PSI residual valve is highly recommended. If your master cylinder is mounted on the firewall, a residual valve is generally not needed because gravity will provide a natural residual pressure within the brake line.
Our residual pressure valve features a distinctive purple anodized finish with 1/8" NPT port at each end. Use 2 PSI residual valves for disc brake applications only.Brake System Builder's Tip (Link)

LONDON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs
Earlier on Tuesday, King chided the U.S. investment bank for considering a delay in bonuses until after April 6 when the top tax rate falls to 45 percent from 50 percent.
"The delay had been under consideration and the decision was made today not to do it," a person familiar with the situation said.
Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
King's intervention ratcheted up the pressure on Goldman, which sparked a furor last week when the bank's plan emerged.
"I find it a bit depressing that people who earn so much seem to think that it's even more exciting to adjust the timing of it to get the benefit of the lower tax rate," King told a panel of British lawmakers when asked about Goldman's plan.
The head of the central bank said that while Goldman's plan was not unlawful, the tax reduction was being done at a time when the rest of society was suffering from the consequences of the global financial crisis.
Britain had to shore up and nationalize banks during the 2007-09 crisis, which has sparked public anger over bonuses at a time when the government is freezing public pay and cutting expenditure.
Finance minister George Osborne, who introduced the reduction to the top rate of tax, has come under pressure from campaigners to prevent banks such as Goldman from avoiding tax by delaying their bonuses.
King, who has a salary of 305,000 pounds ($490,000) a year, told parliament's Treasury Select Committee it was "clumsy" to pay bonuses in such a way and betrayed a lack of attention to how others might feel.
"And in the long run, financial institutions, like all large institutions, do depend on goodwill and the rest of society. They can't just exist on their own," King said.
Goldman's plan touched on two sensitive issues that have triggered public anger in Britain: the size of bankers' bonuses and why large international firms like Starbucks
The Goldman bonuses in question were deferred from 2009 to 2011, a person familiar with the bank's operations told Reuters on Sunday.
The bank recently brought forward payments of deferred stock to executives in the United States to 2012 to beat tax hikes implemented for top earners this year.
"Political pressure in this area is likely to grow. Already the Labor opposition has attacked the government for giving Goldman an opportunity to reduce taxes on bonuses," UK shareholder advisory firm PIRC said in a note on Tuesday.

The Dansko story originated in Denmark, where founders Mandy Cabot and Peter Kjellerup found an ideal closed-back clog perfect for their equestrian lifestyle. Avid horse trainers, they were in search of a 'barn shoe,' something resistant to the elements. They found the Danish stapled clog both comfortable and attractive, a unique product they hadn't come across before in the US. Before long, they were bringing suitcases full of the Danish clogs back for friends and family, quickly realizing that the resilient, cozy and attractive style of shoe not only appealed to horse trainers, but to anyone who spent ample time on their feet. Their wares were coveted by health care workers, food service providers, chefs, and teachers alike. The demand grew, and Dansko, which literally means 'Danish Shoe', was born in 1991. At that time, Cabot and Kjellerup received rights to the stapled clog patent, and since then, the Dansko line has gained popularity and grown significantly in styles and consumers.
Dansko's product mantra has always been 'Beautiful from the Inside Out' and all of their shoe designs reflect this philosophy. Their product line considers ergonomics and the whole lower body, with detailed attention geared towards protecting feet, legs and backs from fatigue and soreness. High quality Permair Protector leather ensures durability and uppers are designed according to natural foot contours. Leathers used are waterproof, breathable, and long-lasting, plus resistant to stains and slippage. Polyurethane outsoles provide protection and comfort during long hours of being on your feet, employing an array of materials designed for shock absorption, support and stability. Rocker bottom soles and lift in the heels lend to further comfort on the job. While the stapled clog remains their premiere style, they have adapted designs to sandals, maryjanes, heeled shoes, and boots. Dansko products are available in several beautiful colors and tannages.
Several of the Women's Dansko shoes are available at a discount at Altrec.com. Dansko's men's footwear is soon to be available at our outlet. Women's Professional Cabrio Clogs, oiled for durability and water resistance, are a top-selling choice, and, if you want to dress up things a bit, the Marcelle Clogs are available in patent leather, as well as black and cordovan. Work or play, Dansko has it covered.
The only problem with picking up a pair of Danskos is that you won't want to take them off. Check our site for clearance sales, as these hot numbers will be quick to go.

I am studying product design in nz and we have been given a brief as follows. design a new opening tool for screw cap wine bottles, that has flair and all the things that the old corkscrew that we know and love has exemplified over the last 100 years or so.
So i would like to know how you feel about the change in the world of wine and what traditions you would like to hang around. any ideas would be great.
i am trying to keep as much of the tradition and culture invloved whilst moving on with the new technology, as they say the only thing constant is change.
any way thanks and happy thinking
ps matakana pinot gris has got to be my favorite wine yet allthough some may say my palate is still young at 28

It should also be noted that in Australia, at least, sommeliers are already coming up with stylish ways to open and present screwcaps with a bit of flair and panache ... I've seen them open the bottle with a rather exaggerated flourish (hold cap in one hand, gently rotate the bottle under it with the other, breaking the seal with an audible, satisfying "crack." Then place the loosened cap against one's (presumably tuxedo-clad) sleeve and roll it down toward the hand, timing the roll in such a way that the cap comes off just as the bottle is rolled into your palm. Easier to do than to describe ... give it a try!
Sue Courtney wrote:Ah Robin, that stylish technique was, I'm sure, the result of Kiwi ingenuity, then adopted by savvy Aussie sommeliers. So while I'm not saying that the Aussies are claiming this technique to be their own, it should be noted that Villa Maria put out a video in the early days of the screwcap revival
Ian Sutton wrote:- Screwcaps are as yet inconclusively proven (but I've seen enough already to believe they're an improvement on cork). However are screwcaps the final solution? Probably not, so beware of investing in a fancy tool that's out of date in 3 years.
David M. Bueker wrote:I'm rather tired of hearing these "inconclusive studies" arguments about screw caps.
David M. Bueker wrote:I'll just go back to my main issue with cork, and that is that it can (and frequently will) ruin wines. Sure they may age better, or at least differently, under cork than screw cap, and some people may like one closure over another.

A Boston Globe investigative reporter, Kranish was able to get the the "real" backstory on the former Massachusetts governor. From the amazon description: The book explores Romney's personal life, his bond with his wife and how they handled her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, and his difficult years as a Mormon missionary in France, where a fatal car crash had a profound effect on his path. It also illuminates Romney's privileged upbringing in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; his rejection of the 1960s protest culture; and his close but complicated relationship with his father.

Photo by Gage Skidmore. Rick Santorum's definitive win in the Louisiana primary on Saturday shows that the race to become the republican candidate for president is not yet over. Santorum won 49% of the vote; Mitt Romney came in second with 27%; Newt Gingrich was third with 16%; and Ron Paul received 6%. Though his win in the conservative Southern state was Santorum's best showing date, it does little to change the overall delegate count, in which he trails Romney by a signficant margin. It does give Santorum some momentum going into the next contests in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which he must win to keep Romney from taking the nomination. Caucuses Primaries The Horserace 2012 Election Tweet Posted March 23, 2012 By Sheila Blackford Missile Defense Systems Excerpt of 1984 Presidential Debate On this day in 1983, President Reagan proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative or "Star Wars" program to protect the U.S. from enemy nuclear missiles. Yesterday NPR featured a story from the Associated Press about Russia's concern over a missile defense plan that NATO has proposed, designed to deflect potential nuclear attacks from Iran. Russia's president argued that plan broke existing nuclear parity between the United States and Russia. NATO has said it wants to cooperate with Russia on the missile shield, but has rejected Moscow's proposal to run it jointly. Without a NATO-Russia cooperation deal, the Kremlin has sought guarantees from the U.S. that any future missile defense is not aimed at Russia and threatened to retaliate if no such deal is negotiated. "I will say honestly that no matter how warm relations between me and my colleagues are, no matter how advanced relations between Russia and NATO member states are, we will have to take that into account and, under certain circumstances, respond," [President Dmitry] Medvedev said. The idea of a missile defense system, and Russia's role in U.S. National Security, was a hotly debated topic in the 1984 presidential election between President Ronald Reagan and Democratic Party nominee, Walter Mondale. In this excerpt from a presidential debate in 1984, President Reagan advocates sharing the technology of the so-called Star Wars plan with the Soviet Union, while Mondale strongly disagrees.

Today's guest post is from Ray La Raja, Associate Professor of Political Science at the Univesity of Massachusetts Amherst. Emily Charnock provides a very insightful post that reveals strong similarities between Super PACs and the various independently organized committees throughout the twentieth century. In other words, we have been here before. Political reformers concerned about the role of money in politics should rightfully be concerned about how wealth translates into political power. Reformers, however, typically assume there is "too much money" when, in fact, it could easily be argued that there is too little, particularly if we consider the costs of informing and mobilizing voters.

Not Riding a Tiger Tweet Posted March 21, 2012 By Anne Carter Mulligan Romney Wins Decisive Victory in Illinois Mitt Romney at the Romney headquarters in Boston, MA, in early March. (Sarah Mongeau-Birkett/BU News Service) Mitt Romney won his third major contest in a row yesterday, boosting the argument that he is the rightful heir to the republican candidacy for president. Romney captured 47 percent of the vote, while Rick Santorum trailed with 35 percent, Ron Paul with 9 percent, and Newt Gingrich with 8 percent. The win in Illinois is the latest in a string of victories for Romney in big industrial Midwestern and Northern states with large urban centers, and marks him as the likely favorite to accumulate enough convention delegates to secure the nomination. The Horserace 2012 Election Tweet Posted March 19, 2012 By Anne Carter Mulligan Romney Wins Puerto Rico, Delegates Elected in Missouri In the weekend contests, Mitt Romney won handily in Puerto Rico's presidential primary, while no official winner was declared in the Missouri Caucus. Romney took an overwhelming 83 percent of the vote in Puerto Rico, while Rick Santorum claimed 8 percent. Neither Newt Gingrich nor Ron Paul actively campaigned in the U.S. territory. In Missouri, local caucuses elected delegates to advance to congressional district and state conventions, where the delegates will be bound to presidential candidates. No straw poll was conducted. However, Rick Santorum won Missouri's non-binding "beauty contest" primary on February 7, and it is a safe to assume that he will fare well at the state convention in April.

Not Riding a Tiger Tweet Posted March 15, 2012 By Emily Charnock "Shadow" Parties and the Origins of Super PACs Public views of the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, by CMBJ (Washington Post), February 2010 "Super PACs" are the enfants terrible of the campaign finance world today. These groups, sporting only slogans for names and raising unlimited contributions to support federal candidates, have been decried as a new and dangerous precedent in election campaigns. In fact, fifteen years ago this week, the Senate authorized an investigation into fundraising activities in the 1996 elections, which brought similar problems to the fore. SuperPACs are less creations of the 2010 Citizens United and SpeechNow decisions than they are new incarnations of old problems. Read more → Electoral Reform 2012 Election Tweet Posted March 15, 2012 By Sheila Blackford Looking Back on Voting Rights Excerpt of President Johnson's Speech on Voting Rights, March 15, 1965 In recent months, many state legislatures have tried to implement voter identification laws, in some cases requiring photo identification for people coming to vote. However, many of these efforts have been thwarted. Last week, the Wisconsin State Journal reported: "A Dane County judge on Tuesday barred the enforcement of the state photo ID law at polling places during the general election on April 3, calling it an 'extremely broad and largely needless' impairment of the right to vote." To supporters of these efforts, they are designed to prevent voter fraud. To some observers, however, these efforts harken back to the 1960s, when civil rights activists and everyday citizens protested voting restrictions, especially on African Americans.

Photo by Patrick Gensel. In what is shaping up to be a two man race with no definitive end in sight, Rick Santorum won the GOP primaries in Mississippi and Alabama yesterday, while Mitt Romney claimed victories in the caucuses of Hawaii and American Samoa. Santorum won Alabama with 35% of the vote and Mississippi with 33%. Romney's wins in the smaller contests of Hawaii and American Samoa were more definitive. He garnered 45% of the vote in Hawaii, and picked up all nine delegates in American Samoa. Newt Gingrich barely edged out Romney to claim second place in the Deep South contests, giving his campaign a slight boost as the candidates hit the midway point in the presidential primary race. Last weekend, Romney captured all 18 delegates at caucuses in two other U.S. possessions in the Pacific – Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Ron Paul took the U.S. Virgin Islands. The weekend's main attraction, the Kansas Caucus, was won handily by Santorum (51%), who was trailed distantly by Romney (20%). Caucuses Primaries The Horserace 2012 Election Tweet Posted March 13, 2012 By Nicole Hemmer Like Father, Like Son? George W. Romney campaign poster, 1968 Today we welcome a guest post from Nicole Hemmer, postdoctoral fellow at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and former Miller Center National Fellow. A version of this piece originally appeared in the Spectator Australia magazine and on the UK Spectator's Coffee House blog. After a career as a business executive, a handsome Mormon becomes the Republican governor of a Democratic state, then runs for President. He gets a reputation for flip-flopping and, as a moderate, has an uneasy relationship with the party's conservative base. It's a pretty specific biography, yet it describes to a tee two men: Mitt Romney, one of the leading contenders for the GOP nomination, and his father George, who sought the same prize in 1968.

Everything becomes more pleasant with a burst of noise. Not that rubbish 'white' noise all the squares are listening to, no, proper noise, like pink or red/brown noise.
Why does modern literature favour the tragic over the comic? It's certainly not what the Ancient Greeks, those idolised originators of our culture, thought. Sure, you could apply this thinking to video games, if you fancy. And why not!
Lastly, you positively must read Duncan Fyfe's cripplingly wonderful Bad Dreams, a short story from the perspective of a video games PR person.

What's a dystopian novel without a post-apocalyptic world? In Panem, life is truly tough the further you live from the fashion-conscious Capitol. In case you needed a refresher, Panem is split up into 12 districts (we don't talk about district 13) and a glittering and wealthy capital city.
Taking a page from The Colbert Report, this ongoing "Better Know a District" series will take a look at the districts that make up the brutal world of The Hunger Games.
