2011 Louis M. Martini Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Description: Our Louis M. Martini Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of the unique characteristics of each vineyard, creating a superbly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has flavors of black plum jam and ripe loganberries. Hints of oak and a touch of Christmas spice support the fruit. The cooler vintage created a finish with a classical, Old World structure. Winemaking Notes: After harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and cold soaked for up to 48 hours to improve extraction. The wine was then immediately warmed to between 88°F and 92°F to enhance the jammy fruit characteristics. Once fermentation reached its halfway point, we slowly dropped the temperature to give the yeast a more hospitable environment. Finally, the grapes were pressed when the optimal balance of flavor and structure was reached. We added a touch of Merlot for its plush mouthfeel and a hint of Petite Sirah for its dark fruit characteristics and firm structure.

2012 Las Rocas Rose
Description: Las Rocas wines hail from Calatayud, in the southeastern corner of Spain's Aragon region, where the air is dry and the terrain is unforgiving. Against all odds, Garnacha vines thrive on the steep, rocky slopes here, creating some of the world's most sought-after wines. The Bodegas San Alejandro growers' cooperative cultivates grapes from hundreds of small vineyards in Calatayud – many with vines more than 80 years old – to create the rich, robust flavors of Las Rocas. Winemaking Notes: The Garnacha grapes for our 2012 Rosé were harvested in mid-October at very low temperatures. This rosé was made using the saignee method; after a brief maceration of eight hours, the juice was drained from the skins. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks for 12 days at a maximum temperature of 61°F. Following fermentation, we racked the wine and allowed it to settle for 36 hours before bottling.

Porter And Plot Wines
Description: Porter & Plot creates wines of exceptional quality from lesser known varietals and unique appellations with a distinctive story. With a focus on the details, winemakers create limited-production artisan wines to bring drinkers first time access to micro-production bottles with the same ease of availability you would experience from a macro-producer. Through simple, balanced and approachable wines, their goal is to make it easy to explore the undiscovered world of wine and enjoy the journey. The wines of Washington state continue to gain international accolades and attention for their winemaker's unique twists on traditional classics. Benefiting from the Yakima Valley's cool climate, the Porter & Plot Pinot Gris is unlike any Italian Grigio you've ever come across. Italian Pinot Gs skew toward light-bodied and steely, offering far fewer aromatics than this American interpretation that is bursting with vivacious floral scents and tropical citrus flavors. Its crisp, palate-tingling acidity and mineral kick make it great to pair with halibut, salmon, chicken and Asian cuisine.

Post subject: Grilled steak indoors
AAA/PRIME steaks
butter salted
kosher/sea salt
black pepper - peppercorns crushed
Steak left on counter until it is room temperature. VERY important. 20-30min or so. In this time you can sprinkle both sides generously with the salt and pepper. also. Melt a reasonable amount of butter and pour it onto both sides of your steak. so that the steak with it's pepper/salt is completely covered in butter. This sits for 20-30min until the steak is room temp. When you come back to the steak you'll see that the butter has hardened. This is fine. I've a number of times tested butter on the steak right before hitting the pan, or butter in the pan. Neither work as well as the hardened butter method.
You'll have cranked your oven to 500F. It will have a cast iron pan inside for 20min getting superbly hot. The stovetop will be cranked to the highest setting. Carefully pull the pan out of the oven and place on the stovetop for 1min. turn the oven down to 350F.
Crank up kitchen fan and open doors.
steak into extremely hot pan for 1-1:30 each side until it's the type of crispy you like. Pull it off and let it rest on plate for 2-3min.
the pan quickly rinse in hot water. yes there will be steam. but the idea is to clear the pan of the burned bits and butter. we're talking maybe 1second under the tap swishing around. yes the pan is hot. you'll have two oven mits to keep you safe though.
now the steak goes into the oven on that pan at the 350F. 5min for medium . *or depending on thickness of steak. This was assuming 3/4inch thickness.
Now pull the steak out. place on plate and cover with foil for 3-4min.
You're good to go.
Some caveats. Lots of smoke. and fairly lengthy process
Pro's. Excellent steak without a real grill.
thoughts. You may want to try the steak on a rack as suggested by alton brown.
Comments welcome!
Cheers, Ravi Shanghavi

This is what I have for you friend. I wasn't aware until I just looked it up. But apparently it also has the properties to bring out the fluids from the meat.
If this salt isn't available Sea salt is fine, it's usually larger grains and I use a salt mill to break it down.
"The term "kosher salt" is largely restricted to North America; in the UK it is usually called "cooking salt" outside of Jewish communities with the term "koshering salt" [1] being used in those communities. In other parts of the world, it is also known as "coarse salt" or "cooking salt"."

As Valentine's Day approaches I thought it only appropriate to interview the most wanted man, uh…boy in the world. I'm talking about the one, the only….CUPID.
CUPID – Pleasure to be here. Despite this being my busy time of year, I can always find time for you H.E., you helped my blog become what it is today and for that my heart is ever at your service…..You know, if you wanted I could set you up with somebody? I still feel bad about your last relationship. In my defense though, you were the one who fucked that up. Cupid's arrow is rarely wrong and sometimes you got to give a little to get a little if you know what I mean….
***** So tell the readers, what is the hardest part being the God of Desire?
CUPID – The hardest part? My cock.
* silence *
Nah, I'm just fucking with you. Nothing like a little dirty humor to lighten the mood. Seriously though, the hardest part has got to be humanity. Fifty years ago this would not have been my answer, I mean, fifty years ago people knew how to make a commitment to one another. Now everyone is so needy and expects so much from the person they are with, no one knows how to stay in anything longer than a few years. Its sad really. I blame the hippie generation for this. All that free love fucked up real love for the rest of you. Well, that and women's lib. Give me the days where I just shot a guy with love and never had to worry about what the woman wanted, because if she didn't go with the guy I shot then he would just take her. It sounds bad but god-damn it made my job easier.
***** What's with the bow and arrow?
CUPID – Are you serious? They're fucking magic, that's what! It brings forth love and happiness and shit to all that the arrows pierce….Whats with the….Look, if you find a magic shotgun for sale then I'll buy it, but since there is no such thing, I'll stick to my bow and arrow thank you very much..
***** How does love in the twenty-first century differ from say, the Renaissance period?
CUPID – Two words, E- Harmony. Them and all those other find love web sites that have popped up since the internet began. Back in the good ole days you didn't have to fill out a twenty questions exam to get shacked up with somebody, you trusted my arrow to make the right connection. Now though, since these computer cupids have shown up, love is down, STDs are up and the murder rate in Juarez, Mexico has skyrocketed.
That last one has nothing to do with what we are talking about, I just got done reading a book about Juarez and that crap just keeps slipping out, sorry. You get my…..shit….what was my point…….Oh yeah, the Renaissance! It was different.
***** Have you ever missed an intended target?
CUPID – (long pause) On the record, no. Off the record, fuck yeah.
Look, it's not easy, this job I mean. Its a ton of pressure for one God,you people are so fucking needy, especially you women. From now on, why not just say what it is you're really looking for in a guy. First off, sense of humor is not that fucking important to you, so stop saying it first. It would make my job and your connection to your true love so much easier to make.That being said, I've fucked up here and there throughout time….Do I regret doing it? No, I rack it up to learning experiences…….I do feel bad about Whitney Houston though, I never should have introduced her to Bobby. That was my bad and for that I apologize.
Otherwise, mistakes or no mistakes, once that arrow hits you it's no longer my problem. Love can happen anywhere, but I can only do so much, it's up to you to make it work. Here's an example, that teacher that slept with her student a few years back. You remember, right? She slept with him, got pregnant, got busted, got fired, got jail time, had the baby, got out of jail and then, got back together with him. That's dedication people. It's also a tale of love through the toughest of obstacles. What she did was wrong, there's no doubt about it, I messed that one up, but in the end the love prevailed. All you humans see are the bad things in the people that I hook you up with, somehow you stop seeing the good after being with someone awhile. I never understood this, because the second you break it off, suddenly all you remember are the good qualities, the things that were always there but you would look past. Everyone fights, everyone has issues, it's up to you to work past them and make it last. Not me.
***** Mythology tells us you inherited this job from your mother, Venus. Tell me, how did it feel growing up with the original MILF as your mom?
CUPID- My mother only talked to me when she wanted something from me. She is a vain, manipulative, alcoholic and I hated growing up with her as a mom. Did you ever see the movie Mommy Dearest? Imagine that but in God form, that's how my childhood was. I've got so many issues because of her I had to cancel my subscription. We haven't seen each other in years.
***** The identity of your father has never been made public, although Mars has been a popular suspect throughout history. How true are the rumors that you are scheduled to appear on an episode of THE MAURY POVICH SHOW with the intent to confront him with a paternity test?
CUPID– What? Where did you hear that? Of course it's not true! There's no need. I found out years ago who my real father was and it certainly wasn't Mars. No, no, my father lives in Florida, his name is Dale Gibbons and he's a retired nightclub owner from Miami. Cool guy actually.
***** Was it difficult growing up as an obese child with obvious bladder control problems?
CUPID – All those paintings and sculptures were taken when I was going through a growth stage of my life. Look at me now! Fit, tan and with 12 pack abs. Do I look anything like those pictures? No. I worked hard to get past those looks. Jenny Craig helped of course, but it was mostly me and my dedication to get fit that did it.
And as far as the bladder control goes, I don't know where that got started. I never wore a diaper, I always went in the nude back then. Censorship is a bitch. Some people can't handle the male nude form so you got to cover it up, that's where the diaper comes in.
***** Fill us in on your unfortunate accident where you accidentally shot yourself and fell in love with Psyche?
CUPID – You're getting these questions from Wikipedia, right? See, that's why you don't trust a user controlled reference site, they get it all wrong usually. Okay, you want the real story between me and Psyche? Here goes…
My mom comes to me one day complaining about this chick, saying she's taking all her worshipers and shit. So mom asks me to go over to this girls place and make her fall in love with the most vile thing I could think of. High as a kite and pissed off because I was in the middle of a game when I was summoned, Saints Row 3 I think, we get all the games before humans do, its one of the perks of being a God, I grabbed my bow and arrows and flew over to her house.
As I'm sneaking into her room I'm trying my best to be extra quiet, but you know how when you're trying to be quiet every sound is amplified, like, a thousand times? Well that's what was happening in that room. Every step seemed to cascade through the whole house, and me being high certainly didn't help.
Finally I get real close to her and start to pull out an arrow, as I'm doing this, her little Min Pin comes running up, yapping the whole way. It scared the shit out of me and I dropped the arrow. I hated that dog. Twinkles was his name. Can you believe that? The dog was totally gay too, he used to try and hump one of the guards dogs, a big German Shepard named KrissKross, it was hilarious.
Anyway, I dropped my arrow and it scraped her foot. Not me like Wikipedia would have you believe, but hers. She wakes up, bing, bang, boom, she sees me, falls in love and hasn't left me alone since.
In the beginning it was cool. I would sneak over for some late night tail and scurry off again, but after a while it started to get a little stale. I think she saw how I was feeling and figured that the only way to keep me around was to get pregnant. When I found out I was pissed! I totally wasn't ready to be a dad, I'm still not but it is what it is. In the end we are all responsible for our actions and so I had a kid with her. If you're looking for morals that's about as good as it gets. Wrap that shit unless you want a world of shit. Either that or stick to stickin' the back door, if you get my drift.
***** So, is the God of Desire dating anyone at the moment?
CUPID – Jen Aniston. Six months now. It's nice I guess.

Fingerless Mitts
Because nobody deserves cold hands.
They even match my nails! I used Kaylah's clever tutorial.
I made a few more pairs in different colors, they'll make their way to The Snooty Poodle shop soon (will let you know when).
In other news, I totally failed the Month of Craft Photos challenge. I didn't think it'd be difficult to do since I lasted 50 or so days with the 365 challenge but I was wrong, so very very wrong.
These are the only three I think are worth posting here. I just got desperate towards the end (and by end I mean days 2-8).
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
February 13, 2012 5:07 pm
THOSE NAILS. Yeah I agree about the craft photo/project challenges. They always seem to be way more manageable before you get into the thick of it. I haven't ever finished one myself… :3
Felicity permalinkFebruary 13, 2012 6:30 pm
Those are some awesome mitts. They look so cozy, and I like the colour choices. Also, awesome nails!

Organizations need to view risk holistically and integrate their risk strategies to meet today's challenges. This report presents aggregated research on strategy and risk oversight, measuring the level risk appropriate for a company, risk committees, fraud, whistleblowing/compliance, litigation, financial/M&A risk, cybersecurity and social media risk, and reputational risk. Connecting these efforts is an imperative for the twenty-first century. The report specifies how to build on readily available principles to solidify an organization's defenses against multiple types of risk, and the role of the board in each area as separate risk strategies become one whole instead of many parts.

First Look: Galaxy Tab S boasts stunning display
NEW YORK — How could you not notice how many tablets Samsung has unleashed these last couple of years? And while Samsung has very definite ideas about how to segment the market among Galaxy Tab, Note Pros and all the other tablets it has introduced, it is sometimes hard to keep the machines straight.
Such is the environment in which Samsung unveils its latest tablet line, the Galaxy Tab S. These are Samsung's thinnest and lightest tablets models yet, and they're clearly aimed at the kind of people who want to watch lots and lots of video, and not just short clips but full TV shows and movies.
The Tab S machines run Android KitKat 4.4 software, and will be available in 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch versions, starting at $399.99 and $499.99, respectively. These will be Wi-Fi only models when they first arrive next month, though models with LTE wireless connectivity are promised too. Samsung starts taking preorders on the Wi-Fi slates on Friday. Machines come in white or titanium bronze.
A couple of things struck me during my brief hands-on demo time: First is how thin and light the these tablets are. The 10.5-inch model weighs just over a pound and is about as thin as five credit cards stacked on top of one another. The smaller model is equally thin and weighs about 10.4 ounces.
The most eye-popping feature on both models, though, is their gorgeous Super AMOLED (2560 by 1600 resolution) displays. Colors are vivid, rich, true to life. Samsung claims the "contrast ratio"— in simple terms the ratio measures the difference between the brightest and darkest image on the screen — is 100 times better than that of an LCD tablet. Viewing angles are superb.
Samsung has also incorporated a proprietary adaptive display technology that can automatically adjust the color and saturation on the screen depending on which key app is in use: eBook, Video, Gallery, Camera, Video calls, Web browsing or the general user interface.
For example, if you were reading an eBook via the third party Kindle app, the display is meant to soften the white background and sharpen the text to help reduce eye strain.
Users will also be able to adjust viewing modes for watching movies as opposed to viewing pictures.
Samsung says it has produced such a glorious display without sacrificing battery life. That's because Super AMOLED displays don't require a backlight. Samsung claims 11 hours of video.
Among the other features on the new tablets is a fingerprint scanner similar to the one on Samsung's Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone, with the ability to capture multiple fingerprints for multiple users. I do hope I have a better experience with it on the tablet than I have had employing the fingerprint scanner on the S5 phone.
On the content side, Amazon is debuting a magazine service called Papergarden, which also makes beautiful use of the display. Cosmopolitan, Elle and Vogue are among the participating magazines.
Via a partnership with Marvel, Galaxy Tab S users will be able to access over 15,000 Marvel Comics through three months of unlimited free membership to Marvel's Marvel Unlimited app.
The new tablets will also provide special kids-only areas where mom and dad can control the content Junior sees and limit the time in which he is allowed to play.
The latest tablets are also compatible with Samsung's nascent Milk Music service, with a fresh interface designed for the slates.
Using Wi-Fi Direct technology, you can view and control content from your phone screen on the tablet, even handling calls.
Galaxy Tab S isn't meant to be the type of machine you use for work or creative pursuits, as you might with the Galaxy Note Pro tablets. Tab S is not compatible, for example, with Samsung's proprietary S-Pen digital pen.
I'm also not the biggest fan of Android tablets generally, which boast fewer dedicated tablet apps than the iPad and have been in my opinion less easy to use then iPads and for that matter Windows tablets.
I haven't been able to test the new tablet, of course, and do have some reservations. But with such a beautiful display the Galaxy Tab S certainly leaves a very favorable first impression.

Passing data prom one thread to another
I have created a process that's runing a thread that open some windows form, now i want that other
running threads from the same process will be able to pass data to this windows form or even close it or reopen it.
The Windows form GUI is always in use of the end users so i cant lock.
what is the best way to implement it in c# ? i would like a short example, thanks.

There's no simple example that can be given: threading (and sharing data between threads) is a complex subject. Especially if that data is mutable - you're working in some ugly territory and there's a fair bit of background theory you should be aware of. Multithreading is rife with pitfalls and subtleties.
I'm not sure which UI framework you're using (WinForms, WPF, Xamarin, etc?), but generally speaking take a look at Invoke and BeginInvoke or Task.Run. There's many other ways to do it, but I do suggest some background reading on general threading concepts so you're not blindly walking into dangerous territory (there's entire books devoted to the subject...).

eSpares Staff at eSpares says...
How to replace is in the user guide, this is from the user guide Unplug the appliance from the mains, remove the transparent lamp cover, Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it and screw in the replacement bulb.Fit the lamp cover back in place.
eSpares Staff at eSpares says...
You will need to check the lamp holder as it may be causing the bulbs to blow but also check the light circuit to determine if there is an issue causing the bulb to go.

Pickleball has come to High Vista – come and see what it's all about! Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. The USAPA (USA Pickleball Association) currently estimates there are now over 100,000 players actively playing pickleball and facilities are located in all 50 states. The Basics Pickleball is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball. You can learn more about the game by going to the USAPA website http://www.usapa.org. Here in High Vista we have converted one tennis court into two pickleball courts with painted lines and official nets. We have a core group of players but are always looking for more. We will teach you the game and we have paddles you can borrow. If you have any questions, please contact Phil Thomas email@example.com or Ken Scarber email@example.com.

Photo manipulation, at its very core, is surrealist. The results are often unnerving and illogical, but with photographic precision. London-based creative production studio Happy Finish offers high-end retouching as one of its many capabilities to a vast array of notable clients including Nike, Google, Samsonite, Gillette and Smirnoff, to name a few. Here are a handful of samples of Happy Finish's work that could honestly stand on their own, outside of any marketing context, as thought-provoking works of art. Hats off to the talented artists at Happy Finish for elevating CGI to a whole new level.
More surrealist work here and here and here.

Want to read the entire 3000-post thread? No? Well I have and it has been a blast, but isn't something easily summed up in a few words. DaveDerek, a headfi member went through the entire thread looking for hands-on impressions and photos, linking each into one of the best posts for people who are considering purchasing the JH13Pro. My own impressions will join that thread as well as a final review in about a month, but take a delicious look at what has been burning up the portable headphone section at Headfi.org.
If you don't know, Headfi is largest English-language headphone-dedicated forum in the world. While headphiles (as some call us) are still counted among the geekiest of audiophiles, we get around. TouchMyApps will be reviewing a number of hi-end and bleeding hi-end custom earphones in the next month. Among these is the JH13Pro and the Westone ES3x which was mentioned earlier this morning.
I have picked off the links from Headfi and posted them below, but please check out the entire JH13Pro Appreciation thread.

Lesson Plan
Comparing Fiction and Nonfiction with "Little Red Riding Hood Text" Sets
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Eight 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Rochester, New York
This lesson plan features an example of a cumulative literary experience or literature unit structured around a text set made up of conceptually-related fiction and nonfiction for reading aloud and for independent reading.
Beginning with a comparative study of selected, illustrated retellings of the traditional folktale Little Red Riding Hood, including versions from several different cultures, this literature unit continues with a study of modern revisions of this well-known tale. After students have an opportunity to explore similarities and differences among the retellings and revisions, they are introduced to fiction and nonfiction texts featuring wolves in order to provide them with a different perspective of the villain in the "Little Red Riding Hood" tales. The unit culminates in a class-written version of the folktale.
Traditional and Modern Retellings of "Little Red Riding Hood": Use this book list to compile text sets of versions of "Little Red Riding Hood" stories that will reinforce the concepts introduced in classroom read-alouds.
Wolves in Fiction and Nonfiction: Use this book list of fiction and non-fiction titles to create text sets about wolves in literature and in nature.
How to Implement Text Sets in the Classroom: This resource explains how to create a text set that complements titles selected for classroom read-alouds.
Researchers such as Dolores Durkin (1961), Margaret Clark (1976), Regie Routman (1988; 1991), and Kathy Short (1995) have found evidence that children who are immersed in rich, authentic literary experiences become highly engaged in literature and develop literary awareness. Their studies revealed that positive and meaningful experiences with books and written language play a critical role in the development of literacy skills. Other researchers have found that students acquired reading and thinking strategies in literature-based programs that included teacher-led comprehension instruction (Block, 1993; Baumann, 1997; and Goldenberg, 1992/1993).
Other examples of literature units can be found in Literature, Literacy, and Comprehension Strategies in the Elementary School (Moss, 2005). Additionally, see the citations for referenced researchers for full bibliographic information.

Distant Planet Flaunts its Light
This artist's animation shows a close-up view of a distant giant planet passing behind its star as a regular part of its orbit. By studying "secondary eclipses" like this in infrared light, astronomers can capture and study the direct light of known extrasolar planets. Though they cannot actually distinguish the planet from its star, they can detect changes in the system's total light.
Why a secondary eclipse? When a planet transits, or passes in front of, its star, it partially blocks the light of the star. When the planet swings around behind the star, the star completely blocks its light. This drop in total light can be measured to determine the amount of light coming from just the planet.
Why infrared? In visible light, the glare of a star overwhelms its planetary companion and the little light the planet reflects. In infrared, a star shines less brightly, and its planet gives off its own internal light, or heat radiation, making the planet easier to detect.
By observing these secondary eclipses at different infrared wavelengths, astronomers can obtain the planet's temperature, and, in the future, they may be able to pick out chemicals sprinkled throughout a planet's atmosphere. The technique also reveals whether a planet's orbit is elongated or circular.
This strategy will not work for all known extrasolar planets. It is ideally suited to study those Jupiter-sized planets previously discovered to cross, or transit, between us and the Sun-like stars they orbit, out to distances of 500 light-years. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was the first to successfully employ this technique.
In this animation, the colors reflect what our eyes might see if we could retune them to the invisible, infrared portion of the light spectrum. The hot star is a bit fainter than it would appear in visible light, and the planet glows more intensely. Their hues represent relative differences in temperature. Because the star is hotter than the planet, and because hotter objects give off more blue light than red, the star is depicted in blue, and the planet, red.

Good morning Frieda,
how nice to see another German kitty this morning. Of course I had to google you and found that you live at Castle Coon cattery and even had a baby son this year. I think you must have enjoyed that very much and it gave you even more reason to have nice regular meals. Kiri says she fully understands- she is a little vacuum cleaner herself.
Have a wonderful day of celebration with your extended family, pretty girl.

Aerosmith may be the next classic rock band to go the way of Queen, Van Halen and Black Sabbath, soldiering on after replacing an iconic lead singer, according to NME.com.
In an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler said he wanted to focus more on his solo career, saying, "I don't know what I'm doing yet, but it's definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself – Brand Tyler."
Fueling the breakup rumors, Tyler has also announced an upcoming solo event titled "Dream On, An Intimate Evening with Steven Tyler" debuting in January at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, N.H. He says he'll perform songs and play piano during the show but also talk about life on the road. At the end of the event, Tyler even said there will be a question-and-answer session.
U.S. & World
It seems the increased tension between the band members started back in August at a concert in South Dakota. During a performance of "Love In An Elevator," Tyler was "Livin' On The Edge" of the stage. While dancing around, he fell off the stage and injured his head, neck and shoulders. His injuries led him to cancel the rest of the North American tour, much to the chagrin of his bandmates.
The band did play some recent shows in Hawaii and Abu Dhabi in October but Tyler and the rest of the band never actually saw each other until the curtains rose and the show began.
"All I know is he's got to get his act together. I mean, he and I haven't written a song together alone in the same room in over 10 years, so there's been some changes in paradigm of what Aerosmith is," Perry said in an AP interview.
Rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford also said that finding a replacement for Tyler wasn't out of the question.
"Nobody could replace Steven or imitate him – he's one of a kind," he said. "But if somebody was willing to do it and the chemistry was right, why not?"

Think about this when you read this article:
1. Did the borrower have a choice or was he/she coerced into accepting MERS, who they really had no idea of what or who it was?
2. Was it ever disclosed that many of the lenders are shareholders of MERS, also who may own the first or second position… this includes Fannie Mae who is a shareholder?
3. Since Fannie (GSE) is owned by "taxpayers" why is she acting 100% private – 100% of the time?
4. One may have been coerced into having MERS in their documents but one would never accept forgery or robo-signing because everyone knows this would be fraud and therefore void the transaction…like a check.
5. Exactly why did Fannie fire FL law firms and exactly how long did Fannie know of robo-signing?
Michigan Messenger-
With mounting evidence of robo-signing and other alleged fraud perpetrated by banks, foreclosure law firms and others, Fannie Mae and Flagstar Bank have filed a new defense of such actions in Ingham County Circuit Court — and Ingham County Register of Deeds Curtis Hertel, Jr. is crying foul.
"What they are basically saying is they can forge an assignment and there is nothing the citizen or court can do about it. It is a brazen attempt to legalize robosigning," says Hertel. "It's just another example of Fannie Mae thumbing its nose at the American people, and unfortunately while they are under federal bailout we are paying for it."
This is happening in the case of a Haslett man who suffered a stroke and fell behind on his mortgage payments. As a result, Flagstar Bank and Fannie Mae foreclosed on him and are now in the final stages of evicting him from his Haslett home, says Hertel.
