From left are sister Diana Hagan, herdsman Brian Waymire, father Robert Giacomini and sister Jill Basch. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email Environmental vigilance seals this dairy's sustainability claim and allows it to become an award-winning cheesemaker. It's one of California's most scenic, affluent and environmentally conscious areas: Marin County, located just north of San Francisco, where vigilant citizens actively guard their treasured redwoods, coastal headlands, oyster beds and other wildlife habitat. Here, along the eastern shore of the long-fingered inlet known as Tomales Bay, Robert Giacomini's dairy is using conservation measures to sustain its business operations for future generations. "We want to be as sustainable as we can," Giacomini says. "It's a viable model for some, not all. It's a way for us to compete and survive." Bonus Content See more photos of the dairy here. Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. California's artisan cheese trail 2013 Specialty Food Show sofi™ award winners Leopold Conservation Award Dairying near Point Reyes Station since 1959, Giacomini developed a business model some 15 years ago that was based on a decision not to be bigger but better. In the late 1990s, as conventional dairying became increasingly difficult, Giacomini saw the need to diversify by adding a value-added product to the farm's output. His four daughters agreed to come home from lives and careers elsewhere and join a family business that would now produce artisan cheese with the herd's milk as a way to keep the dairy productive and sustainable. Today, each of Giacomini's daughters—Lynn Stray, Diana Hagan, Jill Basch and Karen Howard—oversee a different part of the dairy and cheesemaking operations. "Our decision to make cheese dramatically changed our way of looking at the dairy business," says Stray, chief operations officer and vice president of sales. "We always had to consider the health of the land and the animals, but now we were also concerned with what the cows ate because it may impart a flavor in the milk and thus into the cheese. "We had to look at ways to mitigate rising feed costs compared to stable milk prices," Stray says. "We created a brand in the marketplace instead of just one milk truck picking up our daily milk production. That brand, Point Reyes Farmstead, meant we were responsible to the consumer." The Giacomini dairy now milks 350 cows twice daily on 750 acres of rolling hills along Tomales Bay. The Giacominis downsized the herd from 500 cows a few years ago to take pressure off the land. Today, the dairy produces 3,000 gal. of milk a day, ranking fourth among the North Bay DHIA's high herds with a 27,270 lb. per cow energy-corrected milk production. Humane animal care is high on the dairy's list of priorities. Installed in 2009, the dairy's methane digester generates power for the milking parlor and the creamery, which totals 65% of the farm's energy needs. Dried manure is used for cow bedding and fertilizing the land. The digester's ability to break down bacteria in wastewater allows maximum uptake by plants when the liquid is applied to pastureland. Rotational grazing helps keep grass and soil healthy. The farm, which produces about 35% of its feed supply, uses a no-till drill for planting, which means less soil erosion, less runoff and more water infiltration. The dairy's water-quality program recycles the water used in sanitizing the creamery for irrigation. The dairy also flushes its barn stalls with water that's gravity-fed from a stock pond above the barns. The Giacominis also implemented a restoration project, which includes planting trees near stock ponds and creeks to eliminate erosion and runoff. About 70% of the milk from the Giacominis' cheesemaking process ends up as whey. Mostly water, whey is high in proteins and minerals. "Most creameries have to haul their whey off the farm or they process it into powder for another revenue source," Stray says. "Smaller dairies like ours are able to use it as feed for the cows. Whey replaces 3 lb. of corn per cow per day. Any extra whey not used as feed is added to the methane digester, adding more bioactivity to the wastewater." To ensure their land would stay in agriculture long after they were gone, the Giacominis sold the development easements on their farm in 2005 to the Marin Agricultural Land Trust. MALT, the nation's first agricultural land trust, preserves farmland throughout Marin County. "This commitment to the land is in perpetuity, giving us peace of mind that it will never be developed," says Stray, a MALT director and past board president. This view of Giacomini Dairy shows the billowing black cover of the digester in the foreground and the red buildings of the cheesemaking operation behind. The Giacomini dairy is also part of a case study for the Marin Carbon Project, which emphasizes the value of local soil carbon sequestration. "The Giacomini dairy reflects the best of family farm operations," says Stacy Carlsen, agricultural commissioner for the County of Marin. "In this day of large-size dairy operations and shrinking numbers of small, sustainable operations, it's refreshing to witness the likes of the ... Giacomini dairy. "The Point Reyes Blue Cheese produced on the Giacomini farm," Carlsen adds, "has set Marin County on the map as the 'first blue cheese company west of the Mississippi,' and, it goes without saying, the best-tasting blue cheese, as well." The dairy's success is no small feat along Tomales Bay, where only three dairies remain of the 30 that once operated there. The Giacominis' commitment to conservation has done more than win Marin County's respect. "Sustainability practices and value-added products have saved our family farm," Stray says. Later this month, the Giacomini family will learn whether it's won the prestigious 2013 California Leopold Conservation Award, which honors private landowner achievement in voluntary stewardship and management of natural resources. The family operation is one of three finalists and the only dairy in the running this year. Whether or not it wins the top award, the Giacomini dairy will remain on course. "The investment of the digester will pay off in five years, but the real payoff is becoming more self-sustainable through management practices and conservation opportunities," Stray says. "This is what makes our family business economical and ensures it will be around for generations." The Secret Behind the Cheese Branded Blue - Launched in 2000, Point Reyes Cheese Co. produces four branded and award-winning-cheeses: Original Blue, Point Reyes Toma, Point Reyes Bay Blue and Fresh Mozzarella. While the Giacominis' conservation efforts have earned the dairy statewide accolades, the dairy is better known in some circles for its award-winning brands of cheese. Since 2000, the Giacominis have operated Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., which produces 800,000 lb. of cheese a year. Launching the artisan cheese operation "saved the dairy and helped get my family back in the business," Bob Giacomini says. Their branded cheeses are Original Blue, Point Reyes Toma, Point Reyes Bay Blue and Fresh Mozzarella. Toma took the gold for best dairy product at the Specialty Food Show in 2013, the same award Original Blue received in 2011. Bay Blue received the Best Overall New Product award at the 2013 Specialty Food Show and a gold medal at the 2013 Good Food Awards. "We work hard to preserve the flavors so unique to this area," says Giacomini's daughter, Lynn Stray, chief operations officer and vice president of sales. The secret lies in the unique combination of three ingredients: Grade A raw milk from a closed herd of Holsteins that graze pastures overlooking Tomales Bay; coastal fog; and salty Pacific breezes. Point Reyes Cheese Co. describes its Toma as a semi-hard farmstead cheese that's creamy in texture, buttery in flavor and finishes with a subtle grassy tang. Toma is Italian for "cheese made by the farmer himself." Bay Blue started out as cheesemaker Kuba Hemmerling's nod to Stilton. The flavor is earthy with slight mushroom notes that turn sweet and mellow with a unique salted-caramel finish. Although Bay Blue shares the same strain of Penicillium roqueforti (blue mold) as Original Blue, pasteurization, different cultures and enzymes, and altered aging processes have resulted in an entirely different blue cheese.

So, if you had $1 million to spend on defense, how could you spend it? I turned to my 2008 post Defensible Network Architecture 2.0 as a guide. One interesting aspect of the eight DNA 2.0 tenets is that half of them are IT responsibilities (or at least I would strongly argue they are): inventoried, claimed, minimized, current. All of that is just "good IT." Security can provide inputs, but IT should own those aspects. That leaves monitored, controlled, assessed, and measured.
With that's, let's allocate the funding. With such a small team we would expect people to move among the roles so they don't burn out, and so they can grow their capabilities.
- Staff. Without people, this operation goes nowhere. We allocate $850,000 of our budget to salaries and benefits to hire the following people.
- The team leader should have experience as an enterprise defender as a minimum. The leader can be very skilled in at least one speciality but should be familiar with all of the team's roles. The team leader needs a vision for the team while preserving business value. Because this team is so small the leader has to do strategic thinking and overall management, including the "measured" aspect of DNA 2.0. $120,000.
- The incident response team is responsible for detecting and responding to intrusions. They perform the "monitor" aspect of DNA 2.0. We hire three people, one with Windows expertise, one with Unix expertise, and one with infrastructure expertise. $330,000.
- The security operator is responsible for the "controlled" aspect of DNA 2.0. He or she seeks to minimize intrusions by deploying and operating countermeasures. This person is also a utility player who can learn other roles and consult as necessary. $80,000.
- The threat operator performs an advanced security intelligence and analysis role. He or she should be able to reverse engineer malware while also paying attention to underground activities and applying that knowledge to all aspects of the team's work. $120,000.
- The Red-Blue Team performs adversary simulation/penetration testing (red) and collaborative vulnerability assessment (blue) activities. With a team this size there is only room for two technicians. Red-Blue handles the "assessed" aspect of DNA 2.0. $80,000 for the blue, $120,000 for the red.
- Technology. At this point we only have $150,000 left. We can spend $100,000 on technology. It should be clear that $100,000 isn't going to buy much of any commercial tools. In fact, the $1 million security operation is going to have to rely on several realities.
- Built-in capabilities. This team is going to have to rely on capabilities built into the products deployed by other IT teams, like the computer and networking groups. This actually makes a good amount of sense. Is it really necessary to deploy another host firewall on Windows if you can use IPsec policies and/or Windows firewall? With a budget that small, these are the uncomfortable choices to be made.
- Open source software. The $1 million security team should deploy a lot of open source software. Sguil could be the NSM suite of choice, for example. By spending money on staff who know their way around open source tools, you can go very far using what can be downloaded for free. Let the staff contribute back to the community and it's a win-win situation.
- Commodity hardware. You can't buy hardware for free, and those NSM sensors and other open source packages need to run on something. A decent amount of the budget will be spent on hardware.
- Cloud hosting. The Cloud becomes an attractive place to store logs, do processing, and other activities that don't scale well or work well on commodity hardware. Security concerns are lessened when the alternative is no security services.
- Miscellaneous. The last $50,000 could be spent on incidentals, training, team awards, travel, or whatever else the group might require to attract and retain talent.
Note I did not advocate outsourcing here. You spend too much money and probably won't receive value for it.
With such a small team, there is no concept of 24x7 support. 8x5 is the best you can get. The ability of the team to detect and respond to intrusions in a timely manner is going to decrease as the enterprise grows. A team of 8 security defenders will be strained once the company size exceeds 10,000 people, at the largest.
I am much less comfortable building out this team, compared to the Black Hat Budgeting exercise. There are way too many variables involved in defending any enterprise. Most companies really are unique. However, this is a good point to stop to see if anyone has comments on this approach.

In a Rolls-Royce, of course.
In a playfully over-the-top promotional event on Wednesday, an executive with Rémy Martin showed up at the Spec's superstore at 2410 Smith to hand-deliver a bottle of Rare Cask 42,6 – a super-exclusive version of the limited-edition Louis XIII cognac.
Check out the photos above to see what it was like outside Spec's when the creamy white Ghost pulled up and as Spec's CEO John Rydman took possession of the 750 ml decanter before placing it under lock and key inside the store.
You can read more about the event, and about the cognac, in my story on the cover of the Thursday Business section. It's also posted on HoustonChronicle.com.
And if you get a chance, you might want to swing by Spec's — the bottle display is quite a spectacle.

Dungeons & Dragons Co-creator Arneson Dead at 61
A fan of table-top wargames, Arneson began designing his own gaming scenarios from an early age. In 1969 he met fellow D&D co-creator Gary Gygax at the second official Gen Con gaming convention. Collaboration between the two would eventually see the first release of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974.
Dungeons & Dragons established the traditional RPG form, with concepts such as "leveling," "parties" and others all owing their lineage from the game and directly influencing countless computer games.
Arneson joined Tactical Studies Rules (TSR), founded by Gygax and partners Brian Blume and Lorraine Williams, in 1976. After enjoying a period of unexpected success with D&D, Arneson left the company in 1979, filing suit against TSR over crediting and royalty disputes. The legal disputes were settled out of court in 1981.
Though the legal battles caused friction between Arneson and Gygax, the two were reported to be on good terms at the time of Gygax's death last year.
Following his departure from TSR, Arneson went on to found 4D Interactive Systems, a computer company that is still in operation today. He also taught at Full Sail University as a professor of computer game design until 2008.
Arneson is survived by his wife and daughter. An email to Grognardia from Arneson's family contains information on where to send condolences.

The ill effects of postponements caused by the rains of April caught up with the Mount St. Joseph Academy lacrosse team in early May.
The scheduling changes put the Magic in the position of playing three important league games in a row without a single practice in between – not a good scenario for a young team like the Mount.
The last contest in the string was an Athletic Association of Catholic Academies semifinal match that had the third-seeded Mount going on the road to face the second seed, the Golden Bears of Merion Mercy Academy.
The teams had met at Merion the day before, making up a rained-out regular season game, and Merion rolled 16-5. The following day, the Magic dug themselves a 9-1 hole in the first half, and even with a much better effort after the intermission they ended up with a 12-6 defeat.
A week earlier, Mount St. Joe defeated top-ranked Villa Maria (8-7 in overtime) for the first time in the memory of any of the current players. On Saturday, May 7, the Hurricanes avenged that loss on their home field, handling the Magic, 13-6.
Naturally, there was no practice the following day, Mother's Day, so the Mounties had to go right into their back-to-back league bouts last Monday and Tuesday. The Magic had lost to Merion by just a single goal in early April, but the Golden Bears won more convincingly in the two meetings last week.
After Tuesday's tilt, first-year MSJ coach Jenna Washabaugh observed, "It was unfortunate that a lot of the mistakes we made yesterday we made again today, mainly because we weren't able to practice the things we needed to change. It's hard to do it just by verbally telling them what they need to do. You need to put it in motion on the field, and we haven't been able to do that."
In the league's regular season, the lone loss for Villa (11-1) had come against the Mount, and Merion, which lost home and away to Villa, took the second seed with a 10-2 record. The Magic went into the playoffs at 9-3, and after their semifinal loss they were 11-6 overall.
On Tuesday the Magic had the ball up on attack at the outset, but it was Merion (12-4) which scored first, striking about four minutes in. Things snowballed from there, and with six-and-a-half minutes elapsed, the Golden Bears led, 4-0.
"We needed to start with a bang today, and it was difficult when we started slowly," Washabaugh pointed out. "They had a lot of assisted goals, and dealing with those off-the-ball cuts was one of the things we would've worked on had we been able to practice."
A feed from behind the cage by junior Burke Brabson set up the icebreaker by Mount senior Melissa Gavin with 17:07 remaining in the first half, but it was all Merion the rest of the way. The hosts continued to slice and dice the MSJ defense with precise interior passing and quickly-released shots, and led by eight goals at the intermission.
Mount senior Stevie Wells looped in from the left to score the visitors' second goal just 37 seconds into the second half. She finished the game with two goals and Brabson had one goal and three assists, with single goals added by Gavin, and sophomores Olivia Gannon and Jane Black.
Unable to score consecutively until they netted the last two goals of the game, the Magic couldn't make meaningful inroads into Merion's lead.
"We did play a lot better in the second half," Washabaugh said. "We needed a spark and we got it, but it was a little too late."
Starting sophomore goalie Alex Lista made six stops for Mount St. Joe, then senior Gabby Rounbehler came in with 20 minutes to go and recorded two saves the rest of the way. Junior keeper Cali Guilday collected 14 saves for Merion Mercy.
Washabaugh was glad to finally have some practice time coming up before the start of the PIAA District 1 tournament.
"We've had three rough games," said the Mount mentor, "but we have to recognize that that does not make us a poor team. We just have to snap that string and make a fresh start in the district tournament."

Dear Dear TV,
God, I loved these two episodes. Loved 'em for the thrills, the gossipy content (Late Night wars!), but also, and mainly, because of their weird chains of causality. Tom Cruise doesn't like surprises, so Louie goes on The Tonight Show. The maid refuses to Not Disturb, and it's thanks to her that he gets up, checks his phone, and makes it to his meeting with the head of CBS. These are chains of causality we know: a crazy person explains to you that a remote control is counterintuitive, then murder suicides his whole family. This, in some deep, deep way, is the world we live in.
It's not like surrealism is new to Season 3 of Louie, but sometimes (for me, anyway) Louie's been hitting his uncanny baseballs out of the park. It's a home run, sure, but I'd rather see the ball, catch it, take it home. If I had to group the show's balls (So To Speak) into two camps, then Uncle X and Bizarro-Louie are In, and so is everything up to and including the window breaking in Dad, but the runaway scene is Out. Never-the-kid shitting in the tub is in—so's throwing the rug out the window. Never causing traffic accidents and eating raw meat is out. Parker Posey's in, Chloe Sevigny's out. Ramón and all of Miami is in, along with Maria Bamford, Mark Maron, crabs, and even the crazy pharmacist grilling the lady on her bowel movements. When the surrealism gets too broad, it starts to get too dream-sequencey. If you've ever taught creative writing, then you know how legendary the And Then I Woke Up ending is, and by legendary I mean universal and lame.
Louis CK's at his best when he's showing us the inside of Louie's head while showing us the outside world too in a way that shows the angle of distortion. The distinction I'm asking for is exactly the one he makes in Late Night: Part 2, when the show cuts between Louie watching Jackie Doll on the monitor with the music-glory vs. Jackie in "real life".
Speaking of surrealism going outside the stadium, I watched all of Twin Peaks this last spring. When it ended I understood how everyone who watched Lost and complained about it endlessly truly felt. It's a THERE IS NO GOD feeling. It stinks, because you've invested so much energy and thought in a show, trying to work out its premises, how it's coding its mysteries, and then it turns out it was all just sort of slapped together with no real plan. Crazy lady with an eye patch! Ha, she's strong! Um, cousin who looks exactly like Laura! Evil owls! A fake diary and a real diary! Dwarf! Giant! Billy Zane!
Not that I don't like Twin Peaks—I have real affection for it in retrospect and I think parts of it are amazing mood pieces, but that doesn't change the Disappointment With Dave. He's SO the Wizard of Oz after Dorothy's gone behind the curtain.
And that's what Louis CK keeps offering us—here! He keeps saying. I'm drawing the curtain back! Here's comedian world. Here's single fatherhood. Here's what late-show negotiations are like. And that's what differentiates Louis CK from Lynch: where Lynch withholds information and turns plot points into shallow riddles, Louis just keeps giving you all the answers.
"Five years ago you probably peaked," says the CBS guy, one of many Men Behind the Curtain in the Late Night series. "You do standup. You make 80,000 a year on your club dates. You don't think you can do it. You think it's over and you're afraid to try. … I've seen it, and I've seen it turn around."
CBS knows EVERYTHING. But it won't lie about the future. The CBS guy is part Wizard and part Sphinx, just as powerful, just as vast in its perspective, and just as honest about how the world works:
"If the test is good, I'll put you on the air. And then, if you're a hit, everyone will think I'm a genius, and I'll have saved the network about 12 million. If America hates you, no one's gonna blame me. … But you'll take the heat on all that. You're gonna crack your head on the ceiling and you're gonna go down, probably for good. "
Do you have chills? Because that's a novel right there. Who puts that idea—that crazy enormous modern-day Rise of Silas Lapham of an idea—into the mouth of a CBS executive? HOLY COW. This is Satanic temptation meets genie meets, I don't know, Indecent Proposal.
And there's more!
"Look Louie, we're talking about the big game here, so forgive me if I use big terms. Here's the reality. In ten years you're gonna be teaching comedy at a community college to support your kids, and falling asleep to the Late Show with Jerry Seinfeld. You're circling failure in a rapidly decaying orbit. … But it's in your power to change that."
And this is where Part 1 ends—beautifully, because it could so easily have made the point of the episode Louie's Yes or Louie's No. Instead, it leaves the viewer with the agonizing question in the air. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Let's just pause for a minute and think about how much less interesting this scene would have been if we were seeing it only through Louie's anxious eyes. Say the CBS exec started getting bigger and bigger in the room while Louie got younger and younger. It would have been SO stupid, right, because that's what's happening anyway. The next episode is all about Louie being surrounded by Dads.
Louis CK downplays his smarts, which makes him better than Lynch in the sense that he's (supposedly) keeping our expectations low. See his explanation of how he hired the actress who plays Janet for an example of this Oh, I Just Decided And Fuck It Everyone Will Be Fine With It sort of attitude. But let's face it: dude's a genius, and it would su-u-u-ck if he wasn't putting serious thought into this stuff, which he obviously is. It's no coincidence that the index cards in the background of wherever Jay Leno's calling from say "Adam Smith," "Products For A Better You," and "Halloween Products." There it all is: cutthroat competition, Louie's self-improvement program, and Jay's scare tactics.
But anyway, back to the chain of causality. Things in Late Show: Parts I and II are good and bad in pretty stupid ways in the moment (damn the maid! She woke me up!), but those outcomes are actually just steps toward some bigger, blustery whole. (Shot at the Late Show! Thank the maid!) Nothing in the world really connects to anything else the way it's supposed to: that you were flown into LA for The Tonight Show in no way guarantees that you are going to perform on The Tonight Show. But there's slant continuity, to use Jane's coinage: you'll always get either much more or much less than you want. Having planned 4.5 minutes for late-night television, you're either going to get bumped or else you'll just stay, pointing finger-guns at the audience, forever.
The trouble is that there's no right vantage-point from which to look at the future. The end of Late Night: Part 1 is a true cliff-hanger, and the head of CBS is every inch the Satanic tempter as the music plays mournfully behind him.
What surrealism there is (how many different phones were ringing in Louie's hotel room by the time he picked up?), it all feels extremely real. The baseball is within the stadium. Take these old men asking you to do truly odd things, then blaming you a little for not getting it right. They blow past your faults too, that's how little you matter. "You don't need to tell 'em your name, son." And yet, if you're Louie, you have all these new dads who keep throwing you in the water, giving you black eyes.
And oh, what a precious kind of surrealism that is, because it's damn close to how different generations see each other anyway. The Old Men in the business of show communicate telegraphically, so accustomed are they to being read correctly and to having their frame of reference be the only frame. "Carnegie Deli," says the head of CBS after calling the lawyer in, and we waffle off-balance, like Louie, trying to figure out what to do with those words. Is Carnegie Deli the lawyer's name? Is it a part of speech? There's no context for what those two words mean, but they're hovering in the air, awaiting a response. By the time we've recognized the phrase, it's too late—the conversation has moved on. "Timing is everything," says David Lynch, after Louie fails to perform an activity that Jackie Doll seems to think is Telling A Joke.
Do Not Turn This Off, says the index card in Jackie Doll's booth, Just Turn The Intensity Down.
I do want to register a minor complaint re: Janet's conversation with Louie, and it's that their talk felt too rational. These people are divorced. They coparent, certainly, but there's a painful past locked up there. Aaron Bady, with whom I was watching this episode, observed that when Louie tells Janet his news and she immediately says, "Cuz you're cheap," there should have been a moment of annoyance. I felt that when she says, "You'd have a job" and he says "I have a job," his annoyance, his sip of water, the bad silence that follows–it all suggests something bigger than what comes next. Their body language is great. It's uncomfortable, and bitter. That sounds like an old fight, and no such fight gets sipped away. If you're Janet in that fight, if you spent years being mad because Louie's job wasn't reliable (and it sounds like it was an issue, even though she says she appreciated him supporting them), you push that harder, you don't just zoom out into a reflection on his career arc and say, in a moment of generosity: this is what it's all been building up to. "If you don't do this, what was it all for. … What did I put my nine [years] in for?"
But that's beside the point. The real object of that conversation (besides reestablishing Louie's passivity and need to have every woman with whom he comes in contact explain him to himself) is to redefine the Right Thing To Do. We've talked a lot here at Dear TV about how central Louie's fatherhood is to the show, so for Janet to redefine what being a good father means for Louie is a big deal. "You've been a fine father, but nobody needs a father that much," she says. YOWCH. His job isn't to be there for the kids, she says, reestablishing a definition of masculinity and fatherhood that's as old as the Reagan and Nixon jokes. His job is to make it.
And that achieves something remarkably interesting: it means that Louie, in order to be a good father, has to submit to this old crop of show-business fathers at the very moment he's losing his brother Chris Rock, who shaved and ditched the collar and donned the infamous late-night suit. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes.
No today jokes yet. You're not ready.

I opened an account with Oddsmaker with a grand and they gave me a 100% deposit into an account they call free money. In order for the free money to be worked back into your real money balance, you have to wager 99 dollars to get 1 dollar transferred into the real money balance, The ratio is a little better in the sportsbook at 29:1 as oppose to the 99:1 in casino.
Anyways, I open the account with 1,000 and quickly lost most of it, I had a run of bad luck and was left with 100 cash and around 800 in free money. I stopped wagering for awhile and then they sent me an email offering a free $25 as a welcome back bonus. I accepted and then proceeded to go on a nice run. I met the rollover requirement in the first hour of playing again. A few days later I asked for a payout. A week after my request, I found out the request was denied because i had a pending wager. Apparently, you are not allowed to request a payout while you have pending wagers.
I continue to play as I was still on this lucky streak and I ran my account to around 2500. I made sure I had no wagers pending and asked for 1500 payout. That 1500 was removed from my account and I continued to play in the casino with the rest. I got on cold streak again so I stopped playing for awhile and just waited on my payout. It took them nearly a month to process that request. They advertise quick payouts ( 21 days for processing).
I finally receive a check from them and discover it was for $455. They took 45 out for processing and made me forfeit 1000 of my requested amount along with the rest of the money that was in my account. Since they gave me the 25 welcome back dollars, the stipulation was I could only win 500.
So I call and ask them about the 100 dollars that was remaining from my initial deposit along with the 800 dollars from the free money account that was worked back into free money. My argument was that these monies should not be subject to the welcome back restrictions.
I've offered to make another deposit and do whatever they ask if they would be willing to just give me back the monies I earned. So far the only response I have from them is I was on a welcome back promotion and only entitled to the 455 but they would forward my case to the proper department. They tell me to call back in a day or two. So every 2 days or so i call and have to explain everything all over again just to receive the same response, "call back in a day or two." It won't be long before every account manager they have will have heard my story.
I've pretty much have lost all hope on this case and have no faith in these guys at all. If somebody wants to earn a referral bonus, let me know of a book that is trustworthy and reliable on payouts. It's tough enough to win enough to stay in the positive but when you can't count on the book coming through when you do happen to win, it makes sports wagering and casino playing no fun at all.

"Mental illness still carries a powerful stigma in pro sports, but there are signs that teams are finally facing the problem and trying to help troubled athletes.
He came roaring down the mountain at nearly 85 miles an hour, a blur in an aerodynamic Lycra suit. Headfirst on a sled barely bigger than a cafeteria tray, Jim Shea was inches from rock-hard ice, handling serpentine turns without the benefit of either brakes or a steering wheel. The running joke is that Shea's exhilarating sport, skeleton, got its name for a good reason: One imprecise maneuver and he could be turned into a bag of broken bones. It was the winter of 1999, and when Shea rounded the final curve on his last heat .57 of a second ahead of the next-fastest guy, he was suddenly a world champion.
When coaches and teammates mobbed him on that cold afternoon in Altenberg, Germany, it was as clear as the mountain air that Shea, after thousands of hours spent training and traveling, had reached the pinnacle of his sport. His spot on the U.S. 2002 Winter Olympic team was all but guaranteed. And Shea felt ... nothing. "It was total emptiness, like I didn't even care," he recalls. "The joy of winning? I could have broken a world record and won the lottery on the same day and not been happy about it."
The clinical term for this, he later learned, is anhedonia, and Shea relies on weather analogies--"fog," "dark clouds" and persistent "gloom"--to describe the feeling. Still, at the time, Shea found nothing unusual about his lack of emotion in the face of what was, by any measure, a triumph worthy of unbridled joy. Shea's grandfather Jack was a speed skating pioneer who won two gold medals at the 1932 Olympics. His father, Jim Sr., competed in the 1964 Games in Nordic combined and cross-country. The men in the Shea family were quiet, tough, bootstrapping types who lived by a Spartan code of stoicism and self-reliance. Emotions were best left bottled up. An uncle's suicide, for instance, was not on the table for discussion. Since Jim had been in elementary school, he'd known there was something preventing him from experiencing emotional crests, an immovable force that kept him mired in lows longer than any of his friends. "But I figured those were the cards I was dealt," he says. "For me it was normal."
A U.S. Olympic Committee psychologist at the training center near San Diego thought otherwise and referred Shea to a local psychiatrist, Michael Lardon, who had worked with dozens of elite athletes. After one session Lardon ran through a checklist of symptoms--persistent sadness, feelings of emptiness, the inability to extract joy from pursuits that should be pleasurable, irregular appetite and sleep patterns, decreased energy--and noted how many applied to Shea. "Jim, listen," the doctor said, "I think you suffer from depression." Shea's reaction was typical of people like him. Me? Depressed? How could that be? I'm an athlete.
It is an invisible incubus that will haunt 19 million Americans this year. One in six people will be affected by it in their lifetimes. It accounts for countless sick days and costs U.S. industry $ 44 billion annually in medical expenses and lost productivity. Depression is an equal-opportunity affliction, not discriminating according to class or social standing. Among the millions affected: Barbara Bush, Halle Berry and Winston Churchill, who called his depression "my black dog," a companion that seldom left his side.
The list of athletes who suffer from depression, bipolar disorder or social anxiety disorder--three of the most common forms of mental illness--would make for a hell of a table at a charity dinner. Ricky Williams, the NFL's 2002 rushing leader, suffered such overwhelming social anxiety that he couldn't bring himself to leave his house to mail a letter. Terry Bradshaw, the star quarterback and irrepressible NFL broadcaster, was once so depressed that he would go to bed crying. On the eve of last January's Super Bowl, Oakland Raiders center Barret Robbins neglected to take medication to treat his bipolar disorder, went on a Tijuana drinking jag, considered committing suicide and was in a hospital during what should have been the biggest game of his career. Mike Tyson was in the clutches of depression long before he turned into a pitiable sideshow.
And those are among the few who have come to the public's attention. Innumerable other athletes are familiar with the Via Dolorosa traveled by the PGA golfer who contemplated suicide last summer after failing to make the cut at the Greater Hartford Open. Or the top pick in a recent major league draft whose deep melancholy has forced him to take an indefinite leave from baseball. Or the former NBA All-Star whose decline is widely attributed to alcoholism but who actually suffers from crippling depression. "An amazing number of athletes have these illnesses," says Lardon. "It's way more than you'd ever guess. I mean way more..." Read the full article here.

Next week's return of Celebrate Dance to the Alex Theatre in Glendale will bring several themes to the stage — healing through dance, the importance of family and maintaining individuality — while gathering eight gifted dance companies from across the Greater Los Angeles area.
Among the five companies making their Celebrate Dance debuts March 9 will be Nickerson-Rossi Dance, performing the Los Angeles premiere of "Enkindled." The piece was born out of company artistic director Michael Nickerson-Rossi's desire to tell the story of how dance influenced and helped him, and his introduction into the community of dance.
"It is my take and my view of being inspired by the art of dance," Nickerson-Rossi said in a phone interview. "It's kind of my story, me trying to find a community and bringing it together, but also having my stylistic way of moving in a community."
Nickerson-Rossi first discovered dance after losing his parents when he was a teenager. While psychotherapy wasn't helping — "They [the doctors] just wanted to put me on antidepressants, but I wasn't depressed. I was grieving" — dance spoke to him.
During a school project, Nickerson-Rossi saw the opening scene of the dance piece "The Women of Kosovo," and he immediately connected to the movements onstage. The piece was directed by Kim T. Davis, who remains one of Nickerson-Rossi's mentors.
"It was really about women being oppressed, not being able to express themselves. That's how I felt with the loss of my parents," Nickerson-Rossi said. "I was so introverted and grief-filled, when I saw these movements, I related [to them] ... it was exactly how I was feeling in a different form.
"Dance was my medicine. That's where I live from in my work. It is very enriched with personal stories and beautiful layers of movement."
Nickerson-Rossi has since created his dance company and developed the outreach project, the uNdeRstanD Program, which offers people an avenue to express painful memories through movement. A cast of eight, selected from students and those who work with Nickerson-Rossi in uNdeRstanD, will perform "Enkindled."
In the Los Angeles premiere of "Walk West," the SoleVita Dance Company explores the theme of brotherhood and of the pioneers' experience. The four-movement piece is based on the "idea of what it was like for the pioneers to move west, to walk west, to risk everything," said Joelle Martinec, artistic director and founder of the company.
The fourth movement includes a piece that has been performed before, she said, and explores the relationship among four brothers, and how family is important during times of hardship and crisis.
Martinec, who has a long and successful career as a dancer, choreographer and artistic director working onstage and in film and television, also works with the outreach programs, Genesis Sarajevo in Bosnia and New Possibilities Children's Foundation in India. The two nonprofits work with war-traumatized and disadvantaged children from those countries.
Francisco Gella, founder and artistic director of the NUEVO School of Contemporary Dance in Chino, desires to help children and teens learn integrity, responsibility and important life lessons through dance education.
"I think for us, through movement, you can learn how to be a better person," Gella said. "In dance, there is physical work and discipline, and you have to do the work; you can't cheat. There is no way to look it up on a computer."
The choreographer and dance educator has taught at such schools as SUNY Binghamton Summer Dance Institute, the California Ballet Conservatory, and the Lula Washington Dance Company and School, among others.
His newly formed Colaba Youth Dance Collective will perform the piece "Concentric Harmonies" at Celebrate Dance. Gella, who choreographed the piece, was inspired by Max Richter's haunting composition, "Infra."
"I was taken aback by the dissonance and the harmony's deep emotional feeling that it instilled and triggered in me," Gella said. "I wasn't sure what to do yet, but kept developing the vocabulary [of the dance]."
Gella, who works instinctively with the dancers, ended up taking the initials of those who would perform, and, using the idea of cursive writing, based the movements on their names.
"It plays on the individual," Gella said. "They dance movements created by their names, but they have to dance together; keeping their individuality, but also conforming to a group situation."
Colaba was formed this year after Jamie Nichols, founder and executive director of Celebrate Dance, invited Gella to take part in the show. "It's an honor for us," Gella said. "We decided it was an amazing opportunity, not only to present [a piece] but to create and unveil the dance collective."
Also premiering at Celebrate Dance are JazzAntiqua Dance Ensemble, under the artistic direction of Pat Taylor, and the Lux Aeterna Dance Company, under Artistic Director Jacob Lyons.
The three returning companies from last year's show are: Lydia Zimmer + Dancers, Invertigo Dance Theatre with Artistic Director Laura Karlin , and the Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company, directed by Kate Hutter. Eileen Cooley is the production manager and lighting director.
LAURA TATE is a frequent contributor to Marquee.

Today I decided to figure out how to filter out certain blogs from Planet GNOME. It turned out to be much easier than I thought. Just create a csimple rule using css selectors and add it to our chrome-UserContent.css file.
So if you're tired of listening to the complaints of the scandinavian cabal, add this to your customized css file:
@-moz-document domain(planet.gnome.org) { div.richard, div.hallski, div.uraeus { display: none; } }Mozilla/Firefox only, perhaps only 1.5 or newer, who cares.

Over at The Kitchn blog, Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan was facing a problem. She had a bottle of rye whiskey and wanted some ice shards for chilling it down. What to do? She recalled how her dad always solved that dilemma: he'd take an expired pair of jeans and have Sara Kate's mom cut off part of one pants leg and sew it into a bag. Then he'd use a mallet and whack the hell out of the ice.
What is this but a denim Lewis bag? A Lewis bag, if you've never heard of one, is a canvas bag used for exactly this same purpose. If you've seen the video in the Mint Julep post I put up last week, you've seen a Lewis bag. Now you can make your own, using denim.
Yes, as Sara Kate points out in her post, you need to think about the dyes and washes used to make denim, but I don't personally feel that there's much to worry about. I'm going to try this; it looks like a brilliant idea.

In 1956, the writings of Aldous Huxley prompted Dr. Sidney Cohen to test lysergic acid as a potential mental health treatment. In this old test footage, watch a self-described "normal" test subject get totally double-rainbowed.
Says Don Lattin, author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club, over at The Huffington Post:
I came across doing research for my next book, a group biography of British writer Aldous Huxley, philosopher Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's from a television program, circa 1956, about mental health issues.
The researcher, Dr. Sidney Cohen, was dosing volunteers at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Los Angeles. Aldous Huxley, who first tried mescaline in 1953 and wrote about it in his seminal book, The Doors of Perception, got Gerald Heard interested in the spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs.
Cohen also worked with Wilson to see if LSD could potentially be used to treat alcoholics and give them mental clarity to confront their addiction. Needless to say, said treatment did not catch on.

Rapiscan Secure 1000, the full-body scanner deployed at U.S. airports between 2009 and 2013, was so unreliable that a team of researchers with no terrorist training were able to smuggle guns, knives and explosives past the machine without detection.
The researchers from the University of California, San Diego, the University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins University were also able to manipulate the operating software so that the operator got an "all clear" image even when a banned item was detected.
"A clever attacker can smuggle contraband past the machines using surprisingly low-tech techniques," J. Alex Halderman, a professor of computer science at the University of Michigan, said in a statement.
The team blamed the scanner's failures on complacency on the part of the designers who assumed terrorists would not have access to a scanner to test, yet the researchers were able to purchase one on eBay.
The scanners were eventually taken out of service at airports last year because of privacy concerns and are being redeployed to jails and courthouses.

Mini Blueberry Cake. Everything tastes so much better when they are mini-me size. This yummy blueberry cake is perfect anytime of the day!
I am not sure about you, but Spring means berries to me, lots of berries.
I love berries of all sorts but my favorite has got to be blueberries.
I am not sure why but there is just something about those little, cute, dark blue color berries.
I love blueberries, and everyone in my family loves them.
Another plus, blueberries are always available in a smaller package, which means that I don't have any chance of wasting them because we would always finish them in no time.
Spring also means baking to me.
The idea of baking in springtime, with lots of berries seems like such a great idea.
And hence, I made these cute mini blueberry cakes for our tea time a couple of weeks ago.
I was searching for a good blueberry bundt cake recipe and decided to try this recipe.
I thought I had some mini bundt pans and I wanted to make mini blueberry bundt cake, but after I had the cake batter ready, I couldn't find my mini bundt pans!
Luckily, I found my mini loaf pans so I used them to make these mini blueberry cake instead.
The tiny and dainty mini blueberry cakes makes a perfect tea time cake, with a cup of tea or coffee.
Ahh, spring is in the air, and you can enjoy a great afternoon of lovely spring weather with this wonderful cake.
I don't likes cakes that are too sweet and this mini blueberry cake is not overly sweet.
With the slightly tangy taste of the blueberries, these mini blueberry cakes are absolutely delightful—fruity, moist, soft, and simply wonderful.
I really enjoyed them.
Blueberries are in abundant supply in spring so load them up when you go shopping and make this mini blueberry cake!

Black Girls Rock!!
Saturday, October 13 was a night for the black and beautiful as Hollywood's elite stepped out for Black Girls Rock 2012. The organization, founded by Beverly Bond, aims to empower and mentor young women of color, while also promoting a positive portrayal of black women in the media.
This year's event was hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King and includes appearances from Ciara and Missy Elliott, Keyshia Cole, Brandy and more.
Scandal star Kerry Washington and singer Janelle Monae were among those honored by the organization for their contribution to black girls everywhere through their careers. The ceremony airs on BET until November 4, but in the meantime, check out our gallery where cocktail dresses and curve-hugging gowns ruled the pink carpet.--Nicole Brown

Jerry Jones has 1,850,000,000 reasons to be happy he's the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
According to estimates from Forbes magazine, the Cowboys are worth $1.85 billion, making them the highest-valued franchise in the NFL and tying them with the New York Yankees as the most valuable franchise in all of American sports. Jones, who spent an estimated $140 million to buy the Cowboys in 1989, has seen its value skyrocket over the last 23 years, and the team is expected to continue to thrive going forward thanks in large part to the Cowboys' state-of-the-art new stadium. Not that Jones is hurting for money, but Forbes estimates that he'll be able to make another $15 million a year or so in annual revenue if he sells the naming rights to Cowboys Stadium.
But it's Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer who owns the most valuable franchise in all of sports: Forbes says the English soccer team Manchester United, owned by Glazer, is worth $2.23 billion.
The 10 most valuable sports franchises in the world include four NFL teams: The Cowboys, Redskins ($1.56 billion), Patriots ($1.4 billion) and Giants ($1.3 billion). The other teams in the Top 10 are European soccer teams Real Madrid, Barcelona and Arsenal, and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Christmas Celebrations in Wilkesboro, N.C., As Described in 1848 Letter
Source: Guide to the Hackett Family Papers, East Carolina Manuscript Collection #176
Staff Person: Martha Elmore
Dr. A. A. Scroggs of Wilkesboro, N.C. in Wilkes County, wrote to his future partner in medical practice Dr. Robert Franklin "Frank" Hackett on December 26, 1848. Dr. Hackett was then at Jefferson College in Philadelphia finishing his medical degree, which he received in 1849. Below is an excerpt from page two of the letter that depicts the celebration of Christmas among prominent families in Wilkesboro. The C. Gordon mentioned in the letter refers to Dr. Hackett's future wife, Caroline Louise Gordon.
A transcription of the excerpt:
Yesterday (Christmas) passed of very quietly here. They had a "Fox Chase" in the morning which resulted in the Chasing of a Deer till they lost it and then the treeing of an illustrious old "buck rabbit." This made the "Grand finale" of the day. They returned to Drink a few wash=bowlfuls of egg=nogg & rest during the day. "Mine host" gave us a Dinner at which were invited all the Episcopal brethern [sic] & Dr. Greis together with His Hon Wesley Reynolds; who is now an Episcopalian. We had a "Turkey" done up brown & Miss Lemirah [?] & Kate to set [?] off the table. Dr. Greis had services & Mr. Purvis had prayer=meeting at the old academy. We had a very good meeting–it was a very wet day. At night They danced at the Hotel till 11 O'clock. Lemirah [?] Kate, C. Gordon Laura Hackett & the little girls were their[sic] Dancing. The little Boys bursted Balls of Twine, shot pistols, etc. till our village seemed quite city=like and thus passed the day.
For more information see the Hackett Family Papers (#176) in the Special Collections Department of ECU's Joyner Library at http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/findingaids/0176.

A Brief History of Everyhting
Listen to Sample
In a breathtaking trip from the Big Bang to the Postmodern world we inhabit, Ken Wilber examines the universe and our place in it—and comes up with an accessible and entertaining account of how it all fits together.

A Brief History of Everything is the perfect introduction to the great Integral thinker at his wise and witty best.

About Knut Henrik Henriksen
Knut surveys his surroundings
"The shape and the character of my works are defined by the given situation."
Based in Berlin, Knut Henrik Henriksen is a Norwegian artist with a focus on sculpture. His work is site-specific, often involving long periods of time for the artist to study the space, the building's drawing plans, and even the site's past history. Only when Henriksen has gone through this laborious process does he create sculptures that are profoundly shaped and in direct conversation with the context of his work. Henriksen has created ornamental drawings for Absolut Art that are in line with his context-specific approach. These pieces are created specifically to suit the three different formats that artists on AbsolutArt.com can choose from to display their work.

Cassadee Pope Makes Blake Shelton Proud With 'Over You' on 'The Voice'
Cassadee Pope has been described as a "pop rocker with a sensitive side." However, on 'The Voice' tonight (Nov. 19), she showcased her country heart by performing 'Over You' – a song co-written by her coach Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert.
Shelton has a very strong emotional attachment to the tune, as it was written about the death of his brother. Pope sought to make him proud tonight by doing justice not only to the song, but to the meaning behind it. Clad in a flowing white dress, the singer brought a presence to the stage that was simple, elegant and highly effective.
"What a special moment for you. Thank you for taking me on that ride with you," Christina Aguilera said. (And she also couldn't help pointing out that Pope "looked like a beautiful lotus flower" in the gown that she was wearing.)
"The emotional connection to the song was obviously a huge part of it, but I also started thinking of how this is so markedly different from anything you've ever done," Adam Levine observed. "I want to see more country music from you, because it feels really good."
Shelton lauded her efforts with a standing ovation, tears shining in his eyes.
