The Goretti Gisberto agricultural company and the Goretti winery began in the 1960s.In 1992 the agricultural company divided and became Goretti Gisberto farming and Goretti wine Production: the first being responsible for the production of the grapes and the second involved in the wine-making process. Subsequently, the family invested in Montefalco with the creation of a new and modern winery, the "Fattoria le Mura Saracene", and launched their production of two significant red wines: the Montefalco Sagrantino D.O.C.G. and the Rosso of Montefalco D.O.C. The Goretti winery has been handed down from father to son, a tradition that fully reflects the Umbrian practice of conducting and maintaining family businesses. Surrounded by the sweet rolling hills of Umbria, just outside of Perugia, the Goretti Estate Winery extends its property around a 14th century tower, which today houses the winery hospitality centre. The vineyards, situated in the Colli Perugini wine district, extend over a hilly, plentiful and sunny territory. With an average altitude of 330 meters above sea level, this position is ideal for superior wine growing. The third and fourth generations of our family have an active collaboration with the shared aim of producing and selling wines of the highest quality. The passion of the Goretti winery has been fundamental in a family history of wine making spanning generations, and it exists today as the family continues their participation in the Italian world of viticulture, with pride, passion and exceptional consistent quality. Tradition and experimentation go hand in hand to prove that quality wines are never the result of improvisation, but of a profound knowledge of the land, the climate and production processes. The Goretti winery was created and has developed with an orientation towards modern and practical methods of cultivation and wine making, together with the precious and knowledgeable practices of their ancestors. Goretti white wines are quite balanced, with fruity, smooth, rich and well-defined typical flavors. We have always been striving to expand the native vines, like the Grechetto varietal. In doing so we may derive benefit from all the characteristics of our territory, which is unique because of its soil and microclimate. For example, our excellent Torre Del Pino, 50% Trebbiano Toscano, 30% Grechetto and 20% Chardonnay. A light straw-yellow with faint greenish reflections; a deep and elegant bouquet with notes of pineapple, banana, yellow peach and pear; a light aroma of fresh white flowers. The red wines begin with a strict sorting of the grapes, the knowledgeable and never overpowering use of oak during the aging procedure and refinement in the bottle, which praises all the organoleptic features of each wine. One of the best examples of our red wine is D.O.C. Colli Perugini Rosso L'Arringatore, 60% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot and 10% Ciliegiolo. Intense and dark ruby red with violet hues, a full, complex and very intense bouquet; full-bodied, with a good structure and well-integrated with soft tannins. Aromatic and elegant, with ripe red cherry-fruit, and a spicy touch of leather, tobacco and licorice. Read less

The Bible Wheel had been debunked by its author.
Read all about it: Debunking Myself:
What A Long Strange Trip It's Been
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding
have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever
Psalm 111.10
The ordinal value of the exact words written in this verse is:
The Beginning of Wisdom
Rashith Chokmah
= 111
Rashith (911) is the first noun of the Bible, found prefixed by Beyt in the
first word, Berashith (913).
The Wonderful name of Aleph, by which the Lord God Almighty identifies Himself,
realates to the Name of Jesus Christ in many ways. First, we have the great prophetic
names revealed in Isaiah 9.6:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty
God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The name Wonderful is (Pela). This is an anagram of
Aleph, and so these two Names share the same value:
(Pela, Wonderful) = 111 = (Aleph)
This is an example of the incredible holographic structure of the divine languages. The value of
the name of the first letter reflects its numerical value with a three-fold reiteration.
The Greek name of Jesus, our only Saviour, relates to Aleph as a kind of Octave - His Name
reverberates through the eternal ages:
(Jesus) = 888 = 8 x 111
Wonderful [Is 25.1]
The Lord My God [Ps 38.15]
Children of the Living God [Hos 1.10]
Came forth [S# H3329]
Instruction of children [S# G3809]
Wait [Ps 37.34]
Cleave to [Ps 119.25]
Thousand [S# H0506]
He will command [Gen 18.19]
Priests of the LORD [Is 61.6]
All riches [Ps 119.14]
The Beginning of Wisdom (Ord) [Ps 111.10]
The law of truth (Ord) [Mal 2.6]
And the Glory of the LORD abode (Ord) [Ex 24.16]
Breath of Life (Ord) [Gen 2.7]
All the proud [Mal 4.1]

Are No Doubt + Nicole Scherzinger Ron Paul Endorsements a Hoax?
No Doubt and Nicole Scherzinger, among others, tweeted endorsements for Republican candidate Ron Paul on Wednesday, but it looks like the stars were the victims of Twitter hacking.
No Doubt's account reflected this message at approximately 11AM on Jan. 11: "Today We Officially Endorse Ron Paul 2012 Donate to him here http://bit.ly/yDrrFI #ronpaulrevolution." It was followed by another tweet, which read: "If you actually read what Ron Paul is saying, you will discover that for the first time in your life a politician is not lying to you."
Meanwhile, this tweet was posted to Scherzinger's account: "For the first time ever a politician isn't lying to us. WAKE UP AMERICA! Ron Paul 2012 #RonPaulRevolution." Rockers Rise Against also fell victim to the hacking, tweeting, "We endorse Ron Paul this 2012 too. We love you Ron! Donate: bit.ly/wiSC2c #ronpaulrevolution."
The tweets have since been taken down from each Twitter account, but the messages on No Doubt's Twitter page reportedly remained up for two hours. Since the incident, neither No Doubt nor Scherzinger have tweeted about the endorsements.
Rise Against, however, did make it a point to comment on the invasion. The band wrote: "We were hacked. As you would all assume, We DO NOT support Ron Paul."

Facebook Launches Crisis Tools for Military Service Members
A new Facebook program provides military personnel, veterans and their families with customized resources when their content is flagged as harmful or suicidal.
It is an extension of a suicide prevention effort Facebook launched in December, which lets friends alert the social network when other users express suicidal thoughts by clicking a link next to the comment. Facebook sends an email with suicide prevention resources to the author of the comment.
"While this is helpful for a military family, there are several specific resources provided to our nation's military that we wanted to make sure they were aware of at their time of need," military support organization Blue Star Families, which along with the Department of Veterans Affairs partnered with Facebook for the effort, wrote in a statement.
Facebook engineers developed a way to help identify military members and their families, and it will now send them military specific resources such as The Veterans Crisis Line when their content is flagged.
In a survey of 2,891 military family members by Blue Star Families, about 10% said they had considered suicide and 9% said they knew a service member who had contemplated suicide.
When they were asked what military leaders should do concerning the issue, the most common response (23%) cited the need to eradicate the stigma that still surrounds seeking mental health support or counseling.
"Indeed, many comments mentioned leaders telling military members to 'suck it up,' or 'soldier up,'" write the authors of the study.
With 86% of military families on Facebook saying they use the service daily, it makes sense for the network to serve as a private referrer to military-focused suicide prevention resources.

Visual literacy: Needham's evolution of thought
Just 10 years after graduating from Albemarle High School, Richard Needham was using his new degree from the University of Miami's graduate film program to... well, never mind.
"I goofed around. I surfed, I worked in ski shops. I had no direction," says the 39-year-old ex-Freestyle sports employee.
That's precisely the sort of aimlessness he's now trying to prevent as executive director of downtown film studio Lighthouse, which offers low-cost film and video training to local kids.
"Summer filmmaking camps cost a lot," he says. Lighthouse does charge $200 or so for its programs, but that pales in comparison to the competition. "If you go to somebody's film studio or a school in New York or Paris, they'll charge $4,000 for this sort of thing," he says.
Add to that the fact that Lighthouse is a non-profit organization and provides scholarships to students who can't afford their fees, and it's a no-brainer.
"We offer workshops every year– animation, directing, and so on," says Needham. "It's good to have some sort of mentorship or some sort of structure."
And how. Among Lighthouse's supporters is Paul Wagner, a local director who has both Emmy and Oscar awards under his belt.
"I've been blown away by what this community has to offer kids," says volunteer Todd Free, who recently moved to Charlottesville to start a production company. "Having Paul come in to help a kid edit his video is just incredible. I do this for a living now, and these kids are just so far beyond what I knew at their age."
So much so, in fact, that they have taken to offering their skills to the community. In an annual fundraiser with the lumbering name "Technoliday," students help families from the community compile and edit custom video greeting cards.
A year of hard work will blossom this Tuesday at Lighthouse's annual Youth Media Festival, a huge bonanza at Live Arts– complete with a swanky rooftop soiree– at which most of the projects will premiere. Among the films to be shown are a string of music videos and four documentaries compiled by refugee children from Zaire, Afghanistan, and Bosnia brought to Charlottesville by the International Rescue Committee.
"The visual medium in general– whether it's television, video games, or on the Internet– is what kids are presented with everywhere they turn these days," says Needham. "Part of what they learn at Lighthouse is visual literacy, so that they're not passively looking at something," says Needham.
In an age when school arts programs are progressively being edited out, Free offers a further explanation: "In this generation, it's just the evolution of presenting thought."

In 1951, a young, half-deaf bisexual epileptic named John Alvin Ray entered Columbia Studios on 30th Street in New York City and recorded one of the greatest pop singles ever. "Cry," released over a half-century ago by Johnnie Ray, is a breathtaking example of what magic can be wrought in the length of one side of a 45 rpm record. Laying out in elongated consonants and voluptuous vowels the crippling depths of emotional despair, the song levels the heart of the tortured teenager in three minutes flat.
The masterpiece of "Cry" is not just in its economy of time but its economy of resources; Johnnie Ray paints the entire weight of his heart onto the thinnest of canvases, with just a small group of singers and a guitar-based quartet playing all but invisibly to back up his flamboyant wails. The recording succeeds primarily because its absence of production is as innocent as Ray's emotion. Recorded well before the stripped-down rock-and-roll era, "Cry" is razor-thin pop minimalism of the most pioneering and effective kind.
Fifty-seven years later, an addictively bizarre song reached the top of the charts. "A Milli" by the New Orleans rapper Lil' Wayne confounds like a 4am drug binge, its lyrical content a scattershot explosion of random ideas tossed off with the occasional excuse that you, the listener, are a motherfucker, and that he, Lil' Wayne, is ill. How the song went from one of hundreds of tracks that Wayne recorded in 2007 to a fan favorite on Internet leaks to the unlikely B-side of his first single to an even more unlikely No. 1 hit on its own is essentially the defining story of the unpredictable music industry in 2008.
Even more left-field than the song's rise to prominence, however, is the song's miniscule production, a direct descendant of Johnnie Ray's 1951 small studio band. Everyone who hears "A Milli" immediately notices the song's namesake vocal loop, which repeats through the track like a nag so incessant that it becomes easy to ignore, but the rest of its sounds are far less blatant: a bass drum; a sluggish, sparse snare fill that sounds like it's played by a robot on dead batteries; and stray handclaps. That's it.
Cue to the post&–"A Milli" landscape of 2008, and other artists have obviously taken the hint. These days, razor-thin pop production is a way for a track to stand out against the tidal wave of software plug-ins that overdecorate most 21st-century music, and while there have been traces of it in the past—the electronic blips of Ciara, the hi-hat hyphy of the Pack, the "snap music" of the Ying Yang Twins—it's gaining in prominence. The future hits next year very well may be more about curating from, rather than condensing down, the outer reaches of the technological infinite.
What makes razor-pop production so perfect is the illusion of humanity it presents—the sensation that the artist is singing on a street corner, standing around a burning trash can, with friends as accompanists. It may sound like a small party, but everyone's invited. Anybody can clap their hands and stomp their feet.
Earlier last month, for example, Beyoncé—whose first solo hit was a cluttered production overworking a full-bodied horn sample from a Chi-Lites song—released her take on the razor-pop single. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is a classic celebration of freedom; a juvenile admonishment to a loser ex-boyfriend who couldn't find it in himself to buy a ring and get down on bended knee.
But the song's effectiveness lies in its sparseness. Beyoncé doesn't need anyone to tell her how to feel about losing her man, just as she doesn't need to wait for the band to show up. Thus, "Single Ladies" rides along with handclaps, foot stomps and the sometime sound of a spaceship starting to land. End of story. At the end of the song's video—an astonishing juxtaposition of a grim black-and-white studio and a livelier-than-life dance routine by a leotard-clad Beyoncé and two cohorts—the camera focuses closely on Beyoncé's face, her exhausted breathing faintly audible. The sound could have easily been added to the bridge, and it'd have blended in perfectly.
Fellow hitmaker T-Pain, whose legacy is instantly dated by the rampant robot-voice effect he achieves with Auto-Tune software, is the walking definition of a "showy performer." He arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards this year on an elephant, a publicity gimmick for his circus-themed album, Thr33 Ringz. He performs in an oversized top hat, and his videos are colorful, busy expositions of quickly changing fantasy vignettes.
But T-Pain's recent hit single, "Can't Believe It," glides along with a floor thump, finger snaps and a keyboard you might find at the local drugstore with its tone knob turned all the way down. Like all the other razor-pop singles of 2008, it feels as if it'll crash in with an epic chorus, which, of course, never arrives. Four and a half minutes later, the vacuum is something internal in the listener, an uncommon small-plate feeling in pop music of perfection done slight. Clicking to listen to the song again is the inevitable, calculable response.
Who will be the razor-pop sensations of the future? The performers, interchangeable thanks to Auto-Tune, are impossible to predict, but the producers are likely to be a 23-year-old from Atlanta named Terius Nash, aka the Dream, and his 34-year-old partner, Chris "Tricky" Stewart. Nash and Stewart hit it big last year penning and producing Rihanna's mammoth hit "Umbrella," and have since gravitated toward the whispering power of the tiny, producing both "Single Ladies" for Beyoncé and another very tiny song, "High Price" for Ciara. The pair was also behind Mariah Carey's smash single "Touch My Body," constructed solely from a bass sound of kicking a cardboard box, hi-hats, finger snaps and two-note chords played on an analog synthesizer.
Nash has a new album due out in February, Love vs. Money, that can't help but make more of a splash than his first effort. Last year, Nash's debut Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter was released to absolutely no fanfare in the week before Christmas, and currently has an unimpressive Amazon sales rank of 20,712. It's also an overlooked harbinger of hits to come. "Music is uninspiring right now," Nash remarked at the time of the album's release. "The bar needs to be raised; a creative standard should be set in music. I'm hoping that the real quality in these songs shines through."
Quality over quantity—such an idea. In the razor-pop future, it may be all we need.

Gonzalez confident new leadership will emerge
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- There is no doubt the Braves lost some clubhouse leadership courtesy of Chipper Jones' retirement and the offseason departures of David Ross, Eric Hinske and Martin Prado. But manager Fredi Gonzalez is confident Tim Hudson, Brian McCann and some of his other veterans will pick up the slack.
"That will take care of itself," Gonzalez said. "I think some guys get mistaken that a leader is Ray Lewis, the guy who comes out of the tunnel, does his dance and pumps up the guys. In baseball, you can't do that 162 times. It's showing up and playing the game the way we want them to play the game."
As he prepares for his fourth Major League season, Jason Heyward has provided the indication that he is willing to accept more of a leadership role. The 23-year-old outfielder impressed the club's executives and coaches with the dedication and determination he displayed with his offseason conditioning program the past two winters.
"Last year, [Heyward] showed what he was made of with his determination, his professionalism and his work ethic," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "By the way, that hasn't decreased at all. If anything, what we've witnessed is an increase in this guy's intensity and determination to be good and a productive player for the Braves."

Microsoft plunges 11%, worst day since 2009July 19, 2013: 4:01 PM ET
It was a bloody day for technology stocks on Wall Street, as investors punished the entire sector after Google and Microsoft both delivered disappointing earnings results.
Microsoft (MSFT) took the worst beating, plunging more than 11% -- its worst one-day drop since January 2009. The company badly missed Wall Street's profit forecasts after taking a huge write-down on its Surface tablet last quarter.
That bad news as was a hot topic among traders on StockTwits, with some speculating that more pain is on the way for Microsoft.
$MSFT - My concern is that another billion will be written off next quarter b/c RT tablet is still too expensive.
And the calls for ousting Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer grew louder once again.
$MSFT Come back, Bill! Ballmer is making a mess!
Moving on to $MSFT, now. Is Ballmer still CEO? Well, then they suck, get out. Kidding. Long term bullish. Short term its a mess.
But some traders remained optimistic, noting that Surface sales could improve as Microsoft releases updated versions.
$MSFT What's the mystery about poor Surface sales? Everyone knows you DON'T Buy$MSFT 1st generation, you wait for the fixes in 2nd or 3rd. Bullish
Other pinned their hopes on the company's Xbox One video game console.
$MSFT Xbox one should be a big product in Q4 and next year, any thoughts?
$MSFT is only a buy on dip if you believe new Xbox can carry the load moving forward. Otherwise no deal. Balmer is untrustworthy.
Google (GOOG) shares were also lower Friday, but investors weren't nearly as frustrated with the search giant's miss. The stock declined less than 2%. In fact, after hitting a three-week low within the first 15 minutes of trading, the stock began to trim its losses.
$MSFT this is not a falling knife but a sword... $GOOG is a different story though
$GOOG is too big to fail. Obviously.
$GOOG is really loved, with this miss and this loss. with $APPL this miss would mean 20% drop
In fact, Apple (AAPL), which reports earning next week, was down more than 1%, as it declined alongside the rest of the tech sector.
$GOOG Traders selling $AAPL to buy GOOG on sale. #pretzellogic
Looks like $GOOG is bullet proof, not sure i would want to be long $AAPL heading into earnings, sentiment trumps fundamentals
While the comparisons between Google and Apple mostly came down in favor of Google, one trader suggested that perhaps Google investors should take a lesson from Apple's recent slide. The stock dropped a whopping 45% from the all-time high in September through mid-April. Apple shares have since begun to recover, but remain a sizable 40% below the record high.
$GOOG people still chasing bubbles, no one learned from $AAPL

Napolitano signs off from Freedom Watch with promise to keep "defending freedom whenever I can"
Steve Watson
February 15, 2012
Judge Andrew Napolitano signed off on Freedom Watch this week with a salute and a promise to keep "defending freedom– everyone's freedom, whenever I can,", following the announcement that the show has been axed by Fox Business News.
The Judge closed the last edition of Freedom Watch in the same way he normally does, with a message regarding adherence to the vision of the founding fathers and the hard fought liberties protected by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Napolitano flagged up the fact that only a third of Americans supported the revolution and another third expressed no interest in the matter. In a clear message to his critics, the Judge noted "The founding fathers risked their lives, their fortunes, and their honor, [but] they were not saints, and originally their cause was not popular."
As of now, Freedom Watch will be replaced by reruns of The Willis Report.
Watch the last ever segment of Freedom Watch below:
On the penultimate edition of the show, the judge delivered a scathing bullet point break down of the state of America today, the kind of which has marked the show out as a thorn firmly in the side of the establishment, and, in the eyes of many, led to the decision to remove Freedom Watch from the airwaves:
Earlier in the week the Judge issued a statement on his Facebook page asking that fans of the show stop sending emails to Fox News complaining about the cancellation.
Explaining that the cancellation was in his eyes purely a "business judgment", the Judge wrote:
"Many of you are not happy with the cancellation of FreedomWatch, and you have sent emails to my Fox colleagues expressing that unhappiness. In television, shows are cancelled all the time. Two of my former shows have been cancelled, and after each cancellation, Fox has rewarded me with more and better work."
"This cancellation–along with others that accompanied it–was the result of a business judgment here, and is completely unrelated to the FreedomWatch message. It would make a world of a difference for all of us, if you would KINDLY STOP SENDING EMAILS TO FOX." Napolitano added.
"I am well. Your values are strong. I will continue to articulate those values here at Fox. But the emails many of you are sending are unfairly interfering with my work and that of my colleagues here. The emails even violate our values because they interfere with the use of private property. I have accepted the cancellation decision with good cheer and a sense of gearing up for the future. You should as well." the statement concluded.

Regional Transportation Coordination
Engaging Regional Stakeholders in Public Transportation
BackgroundThe Alamo Area Council of Governments, Planning Region 18, is the lead agency for regional transportation coordination activities and efforts in the Alamo Region. Regional transportation coordination plans and activities for the Alamo Region responds to Texas legislation that requires transit planning focused on filling service gaps, eliminating overlaps in transportation services, and pursuing opportunities among public transportation providers to share resources.
Transportation Goals for the Alamo Region In the summer 2010, AACOG established the Alamo Regional Transportation Steering Committee to respond to the needs of transit planning in the region. The Regionally Coordinated Transportation Plan for the Alamo Region encompasses the following four goals:
Goal 1:Enhance the quality of the customer's travel experience
Goal 2:Expand the availability of services to those who are un-served
Goal 3:Increase the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery
Goal 4:Establish and sustain communication among stakeholders in the region's transportation plan
Alamo Regional Transportation Steering Committee & Subcommittees
The Alamo Regional Transportation Steering Committee or ARTSC is comprised of various direct and indirect stakeholders within the field of transportation in the Alamo Region. Moreover, the ARTSC serves as the policy board for regional transportation coordination and as a focal point for leadership on transportation issues in the Alamo Region. The ARTSC is chaired by Mary Keeler, American Medical Response.

The standard 100-watt light bulb is going away, and its lower-wattage cousins are soon to follow.
U.S. bulbmakers can no longer manufacture the 100-watt bulb as of Saturday -- part of a multiyear push to boost the efficiency of the nation's lighting under a 2007 law signed by President George W. Bush.
For consumers, the law is making the purchase of light bulbs more like an investment choice, with a need to balance higher up-front costs against longer-term electricity savings.
Some of the newest high-efficiency bulbs cost more than $20 each and are designed to last more than 20 years.
"The light bulb is moving from a 60-cent commodity that you throw into your grocery cart to an investment just like a refrigerator or major appliance," said Terry McGowan, director of engineering for the American Lighting Association, an industry trade group. "It costs more money and you expect it to do more, and if you move, you might even take it with you."
Consumers will still see the old-style bulbs on shelves for some time. Lower-wattage incandescent bulbs are being phased out over the next two years. The law allows stores to sell remaining stocks of banned bulbs.
Replacement bulbs using halogen and other technologies are already on store shelves. The incandescent bulb, with its tungsten filament, was a breakthrough in lighting 100 years ago, a vast improvement over the 19th-century designs of Thomas Edison and others. Its shortcoming is that only 10 percent of the energy is converted to light, with the rest lost as heat.
Industry supports change
Lighting industry officials say bulbmakers have supported the federally mandated switch to energy-efficient designs and have already halted production of banned bulbs. Congress' recent action to bar enforcement of the law by the U.S. Energy Department won't turn back the clock, they say.
"The law doesn't change, and we're still complying," said Anne Guertin, a spokeswoman for Osram Sylvania, which retooled its incandescent bulb plant in Pennsylvania to manufacture halogen bulbs that meet federal standards.
The law's ban on standard 75-watt bulbs takes effect Jan. 1, 2013, and a year later for standard 40- and 60-watt bulbs. Thousands of specialty bulbs, including 100-watt incandescents designed to stand up to rough treatment, are exempt from the manufacturing ban. Other exempted bulbs include three-way bulbs and flame-shaped lamps for chandeliers.
For consumers, a trip to the store for bulbs will likely be more confusing and costly because of the array of new, longer-lasting options. New, federally mandated labels offer guidance on lumens, or light output, and long-term cost savings on electricity.
Consumers looking to replace a 100-watt bulb, for example, would look for a bulb with 1,600 lumens. The choice might be a compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb, which uses up to 75 percent less energy. A second option looks like a traditional bulb but has a halogen core that uses 23 percent less energy.
Another emerging contender is the light-emitting diode, or LED, bulb that fits into a standard socket. They are energy efficient and long lasting, but cost more than $20 each. LEDs don't offer an equivalent to the 100-watt standard bulb, but one is being developed, said McGowan of the lighting association.
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 aims to save consumers nearly $6 billion annually on electricity costs by 2015. But some Republicans, including presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, have opposed the law as a restriction on freedom of choice.
Measure may have little effect
In an omnibus spending bill that avoided a federal government shutdown last month, Republicans inserted a provision barring the use of federal funds to enforce and implement the bulb law for nine months.
Though it has caused confusion, that measure may have little effect. The 2007 law still took effect Saturday and manufacturers are still obligated to comply, according to the Energy Department.
"The realistic view in the lighting industry is that everything is going to go as normal," McGowan said. "The plans are made. The shelves are stocked. The products are ready."
At Mohn Electric Co. in Minneapolis, a store that stocks thousands of special-purpose light bulbs, employee Mary Norris said she wasn't sure what Congress intended by the measure.
Regardless, she said, the no-longer-manufactured standard 100-watt bulbs will be available at her store for a long time because distributors tend to stock up on discontinued items.
"I just ordered a shipment last week," she said.
Menards in Eden Prairie on Friday still had lots of 100-watt standard bulbs on shelves, alongside an increasing array of LED, CFL and halogen alternatives.
As Steve Veldman, the store's electrical manager, walked through the light bulb aisle, he passed an empty spot. That morning, the shelf had been filled with 12-packs of old-style 100-watt bulbs -- on sale for about half price.
"Sold out an hour ago," he said.

The basic Aero model is no longer produced, while, as of 2008, the Ultimate Aero costs about 620,000 dollars.
Rank 2. Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is a mid-engine sports car produced by Volkswagen Group subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS introduced in 2005. It is currently the fastest accelerating and decelerating production car in the world. It is currently also the most expensive production car available at a price of 1.1 million Euro. It is able to achieve the second highest top speed for a production car, behind the SSC Ultimate Aero TT .Powered by a 736-kilowatt (1,001 PS/987 hp) W16 engine, it is able to achieve an average top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph). The car reached full production in September 2005, and is handcrafted in a factory Volkswagen built near the former Bugatti headquarters in Château St Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France). It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm. Two examples of the Veyron are known to have been wrecked since production began.

Rank 5. McLaren F1
The McLaren F1 was formerly the fastest street legal production car in the world, holding this record from 1994 to 2005, the longest period the record has been held by any street legal or production car in the history of automobiles. It was engineered and produced by McLaren Automotive, a subsidiary of the British McLaren Group that, among others, owns the McLaren Mercedes Formula One team. Today, it is still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world.The McLaren F1 was at the time the fastest production car ever built, eclipsing the Jaguar XJ220. A standard version of the McLaren achieved a top speed of 371 km/h (231 mph) in 1994, holding this record for more than 10 years until it was finally eclipsed in 2005 by the Koenigsegg CCR.

Large storms swarm
THE region was hit hard with storms over the weekend, with power outages across the Ipswich, Lockyer Valley and Somerset regions.
A spokesperson for Energex said from 10am on Saturday to midnight on Sunday, there were 14,000 power outages in the Lockyer Valley and Somerset regions.
The outages were all storm-related, with Energex attending to fallen powerlines and emergency repairs.
The majority of power was restored within a few hours of the outages occurring.
Lockyer Valley SES area controller Gary Doyle said there were only three call-outs for the SES over the weekend.
"We had three requests for sand bags for some localised flooding, two in Gatton in one in Helidon," he said.
"We actually escaped out of the storms quite well.
"The SES was also called to help provide some power to the Business Awards."
Somerset SES volunteers received 13 calls for assistance at the weekend after the series of storms.
Lowood was the hardest hit, with SES crews responding to six calls for assistance in the township.
SES volunteers assisted four residents who had leaking roofs, attended three jobs where roofs had been damaged during the storm, and the rest of the jobs crews attended were for flash flooding concerns.
Somerset mayor Graeme Lehmann said the weekend's storms were a reminder for residents to sign up to the Early Warning Network and receive alerts when storms approach.
"Residents are encouraged to sign up to the free service to be better prepared, and can do so by visiting council's website," Cr Lehmann said.

Most of us writers juggle other work—a job and/or managing a household and family—along with our writing. I was asked at work this week, if I won the lottery, would I resign from my job? Without hesitation, I said, "In a heartbeat." Not that I don't like my job. But it's not my dream.
They (whoever the mysterious 'they' are) say, "Money can't buy happiness." That's no doubt true, but I'd love the opportunity to test that theory. How would winning the lottery change my life? Like most folks, I'd pay off all my bills. I'd have some very happy family members and friends who would benefit, as well. But my real dream? That would be to find a big house somewhere on the east coast along the shore and open a writer's retreat. I already have a few friends lining up to be live-in cook, housekeeper, office manager, driver—anything to get in on the dream. So I have my staff in place.
Of course, I'd have to purchase about a dozen more Kindles because one wouldn't hold nearly the number of books I'd buy. (Maybe I'd just buy Amazon and be done with it.)
Not everyone is a gambler or buys lottery tickets. I realize that. And, no, there are things in life that money cannot buy, things that are precious to us. But for those of you who do take a gamble, I wonder—How would winning a huge lottery change your life?
I took a chance entering Love, Sam into the EPIC eBook Awards. And I won! It can happen.

I am trying to make a simple sync between two box2d rooms, where you can drag boxes using the mouse.
So every time player clicks (and holds the mousedown) a box, I try send joint parameters to server, and server sends them to other clients. When mouseup occurs, I send command to delete joint.
The problem is that sync breaks too often. Is my way radically wrong, or it just needs some tweaks?

To the Editor
In Taft, Calif., we are yet again faced with yet another school shooting less than a month after the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary. Fortunately, this time, I don't need to write to the victims' families to offer my prayers for their loss.
However, it only solidifies the fact that now is the time to talk about gun control. I'm not suggesting that the government take away all firearms as that – of course – is unconstitutional. Conversely, I'm not suggesting that we keep our current gun laws and just "enforce" the laws better – as this ineffective measure has proven completely irresponsible.
What I'm suggesting is that as a society with a common concern, we begin discussing realistic policy for gun control. Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Let's stop the insanity and get serious about gun reform.

Angelina Jolie is crying on the cover of the current STAR Magazine. Something about Brad Pitt cheating on her and their relationship is almost over. STAR would have gone to print around December 2/3. Needless to say, they had no idea that just as they were closing the issue, Brange was in Australia on December 3, together, with their children, enjoying a family boat ride and beaming at each other with affection. Does this…
…match these…?
It's the perfect setting – the sun is out and the children are unruly, especially as dad Brad tries to take pictures. Maddox is a proper young man, with a young man's indulgent affectionate expression as he tries to cope with all his siblings, including The Chosen One Shiloh, a born entertainer, and her doppelganger little brother Knox, who has to be gripped by the wrist, just like his big sister was when she was younger. They are the wild ones to beauty queens, Miss Zahara and Vivienne, with the enigmatic Pax rounding out the group. All six, each with their distinct personalities, being raised in their parents' spotlight, the most fascinating couple in the world and, therefore, fascinating by extension. Are their lives contained in a bubble? Given their peripatetic lifestyle, it's not like they're running down the street hanging out with other kids on the block. This family comes with built-in playmates. More on that note in the next post. (There are so many new Brange photos from this weekend, we're going to split them up.)
Right now, let's discuss Brange and award season. 12 Years A Slave seems to be losing momentum as the critics associations release their best of the year lists. Having said that, Argo slowed too at the same time last year only to surge at exactly the right time, propelled of course by Ben Affleck's director snub from the Academy. Argo had a big studio behind it however, paying for and strategising the campaign. Now, they all say they don't care about awards etc etc etc but Steve McQueen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Lupita Nyong'o were hustling HARD a few weeks ago at Academy screening after Academy screening hoping to convince those old ass bastards to see their film and to vote their way. So they care. And sooner or later, once he's ready, Brad Pitt will have to step up, shake some hands, and kiss some babies if he wants his picture to keep pace with all the others.

DENVER — A flight snafu prevented former Memphis Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins from making it to Denver to interview with the Nuggets on Saturday.
Hollins' interview has been rescheduled for Wednesday, a source said.
In another blow to a quickly emptying front office, the Nuggets lost their in-house general manger candidate to the Sacramento Kings. Nuggets president Josh Kroenke said the team's vice president of basketball operations, Pete D'Alessandro, is leaving Denver to be the general manager of the Sacramento Kings.
D'Alessandro was the right-hand man for Masai Ujiri when Ujiri was the executive in charge of the Nuggets' basketball operations. The Kings identified D'Alessandro as a leading candidate early in their search for a general manager and landed him Saturday.
D'Alessandro's departure means the Nuggets probably will have to hire a general manager from outside the team.
Interviews for that job, however, will take place mostly after the Nuggets' coaching situation has been settled. It's unclear when candidates other than Hollins are scheduled to be interviewed.
Hollins, according to the Los Angeles Times, has interviewed twice with the Los Angeles Clippers about their head coaching job.
The Grizzlies, meanwhile, are expected to talk to former Nuggets coach George Karl on Monday about potentially being Hollins' successor in Memphis.
Hollins was 196-155 in 4½ seasons with the Grizzlies, improving his record each season leading up to this season's franchise-record 56 victories.
Hollins, a former NBA guard, was to be the first formal interview of any Nuggets coaching candidate.
Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw has not yet had formal conversations with the Nuggets. Shaw started his own process of finding a head coaching job as the hot name on the market, and to an extent still is, but the coaching carousel is starting to shake itself out. Memphis is angling toward Karl or the top assistant under Hollins, Dave Joerger, in its search to replace Hollins.
The Brooklyn Nets, who appeared to have interest in Shaw, instead hired recently retired player Jason Kidd as their new head coach.
It all means the Nuggets and Clippers are vying for some of the same candidates.
Muddying the waters a bit is Boston coach Doc Rivers, who is contemplating leaving the Celtics. If Hollins emerges as the Nuggets' top candidate, they could be forced to wait to get him until Rivers makes a move, which is expected soon. If Rivers leaves the Celtics, he probably moves to the top of the Clippers' wish list. If Rivers stays in Boston, the Clippers could make a strong run at Hollins, which could force him to make a decision between the Nuggets and the Clippers.
Byron Scott, a former Cleveland Cavaliers coach, is in the Clippers' mix too.
If the Nuggets decide to go with Shaw, it appears the coast is mostly clear. Shaw's biggest suitor was Brooklyn, though he did interview with the Clippers too. But with the Clippers and the Grizzlies primarily focused elsewhere, the Nuggets would rise as Shaw's best option if they wanted him and he wanted to come to Denver.

Lol....great minds think alike!
We've both posted and watched it at the same time.
I'm not too sure about the business either, I think I'll watch it again, the film doesn't go into anything really in great detail which I think has let it down.
But it's still a good film.

The Yards is by far my favorite Wahlberg movie. I think it is his best performance (far better than POTA..sorry, don't mean to offend anyone, but he just wasn't that good...mostly because his character wasn't written that well) Anyways, it is a little confusing, though...Basically, he's (Mark..his character's name is Leo-same as POTA!) in jail because of trouble he and some of his buddies got into (the stealing cars business that i think has already been cleared up in another post...) and he took the fall for his buddies and was the only one put in jail. Then he gets out and his buddy (joaquin phoenix..who is awesome in the movie!) helps him find work in the family business, which has to do with trains. One night, joaquin (i can't remember his character's name), leo, and a few other guys go into one of the train yards to screw around with and bascially destroy some of their competition's trains. they have a deal with guy in charge of the train yards, that he will let them wreck the trains but he turns on them and calls the cops. mark was left on the look out and when the first cop comes, he doesn't know what to do so he hits him on the head. joaquin kills the guy who called the cops, but mark gets blamed for it. so basically (sorry this is so long!) mark has to leave and his uncle(who is in charge of the train company) wants joaquin to kill him (so that his company doesn't get in trouble. i won't tell the ending just in case someone reads this who hasn't seen it.
If you haven't seen it, go out and rent it right now! It is seriously a really great movie and mark is excellent in it!

Honestly, I did not really enjoy this movie. I have enjoyed all the other movies he has done so far. The movie "the yards" story was missing elements. I guess that happens sometimes with some movies.

The family business is to make parts for trains. The corruption involved revolves around how those contracts are obtained from city officials.
Destroying the parts made by another company ruins their chances of renewing profitable business contracts.
One of the things I liked so much was the ambiquity on who was a "good guy" and who was a "bad guy" like the part where they are out to get Leo. The uncle said "take care of it" to Joaquin ...did he take it upon himself to decide that means kill Leo. The Aunt said "whatever it takes" but did she mean murdering her beloved sister's son?? It's implied but not stated it lets the audience decide guilt and intent.
I loved this movie and have seen it 2x. I'll watch it over and over when its free on hbo. The "business" got a little confusing but try it again you may enjoyit more the 2nd time around

It did make into theatres just not many and most were pulled out after 2 weeks. Just awful marketing and effort from Miramax. I posted a couple articles about it back in winter 2000. If you can't find it here, go to my
and look at the 2000 index, it was a LA Times article.

Someone who can help me to write and explain a code to write a class that handles rectangle rectangles with height, width, position and girth. The width and the height is set by the rectangle is created and the position means automatically to the origin x = 0 and y = 0. Using this method can move the rectangle changes.
I have write this code now, as you will see Im an very big noob:
public class Rectangle { public int length=0; public int height=0; public int width=0; public Rectangle(int x, int y { length=x; height=y; } public Rectangle(int x, int y, int z) { length=x; height=y; width=z; } }
