Where are they now?
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
'Where are they now?' seems an appropriate question to ask given that we are almost a week into 2012 and more than two months into the free agent period. And yet, most of the free agents who ended last season in Pittsburgh aren't anywhere but home, still looking to latch on with a new team.
The Pirates watched six players — Paul Maholm, Ronny Cedeno, Derrek Lee, Ryan Doumit, Chris Snyder and Ryan Ludwick — walk as free agents after the season. Interestingly enough, only Doumit has found a new club. He signed a one-year deal with the Twins back in November.
Lee's name hasn't surfaced much in the rumor mill this winter, though a market could open up for him once Prince Fielder signs. Interest in the other four doesn't seem to be particularly strong or widespread either. Could that mean that the Pirates bring any of these available players back?
The club has expressed interest in going after Lee, though the first baseman doesn't seem to have reciprocated that interest. Neither Cedeno, nor Ludwick, will be returning, and it's also hard to see a scenario where Snyder is back, now that the Pirates have signed Rod Barajas. The Pirates might consider re-signing Maholm, though I don't envision them offering significant guaranteed money.

If Derek Lee does not want to resign they need to go after Carlos Pena hard. Going into the season with Casey McGehee and Garrett Jones is unacceptable. Neither will provide the Pirates with the offense they need.
I disagree with you, Eddie. I think that the two of them offer the Pirates a very solid tandem at first and if the Pirates can get a good showing out of Nick Evans (who I think will benefit from getting out of New York) and make him a bench player, they can use him at first and put McGehee at third on days we go against a southpaw. Other days we can have Jones and (hopefully) Alvarez out there vs. right-handers. Jones has a good track record against righties and yet everyone still doubts him. I think he can do a very good job at the position both defensively and offensively. I think going after Pena and putting him at first would be just like putting Jones in there full-time. Pena has a low career average, especially against lefties, but he can still crush a ball out of the park 20-30 times a season. I don't see any difference between the two except that Pena has been given the chance to play regularly on teams that can afford to put up with his strikeouts and batting average while the Pirates do not have the luxury of waiting. The Rays and Cubs have other proven deep-threats, the Pirates don't.
I say they should sign Xavier Nady for small amount of money he is asking. It's small compared to senior citizen Derrek Lee, and one year wonder Casey Kotchman at least, and he is a better hitter in my opinion. He's younger than Derrek Lee and hits for a higher average.
His last year in Pittsburgh, 2008, he batted .330 for the Pirates, .305 overall between the Yankees and Bucs.
He had 37 doubles and 25 homers. 97 RBI.
Then he blew out his elbow, and had Tommy John surgery. Now three years later he is finally fully recovered and looking for work.
He plays a solid first base and can also play the outfield.
He is a hard-nosed player who plays to win and he excels in Pittsburgh, we aleady know that. His best years have come in Pittsburgh.
He is still only 33 years old.
He is a huge bargain and is flying under the radar thanks to the slow recovery of his surgery. The Pirates would be crazy to not sign him. He can make McGehee & Jones battle that much harder to win a starting job, and could potentially beat them out. Even if he doesn't, he's a great bat off the bench and to step in when the injuries hit, and face it, they always hit. A team can never have enough quality, proven hitters.
Nady has proven that he hits in Pittsburgh already, what more could you ask of a hitter?
His price is much lower than it really should be thanks to the injury. This is the time to get him, before he resumes his normal hitting ways, and he will.
If they thought McLouth was a bargain, Nady is equally so and potentially even more so.

Update: Indeed, Microsoft launched Office for iPad today, but if you were hoping to pay a small price for standalone apps that would let you create and edit documents, you'll be sorely disappointed.
Word, Excel and Powerpoint for iPad are available from the iTunes App Store and are free to download, but they'll only let you access and read existing Office documents. If you want to create and edit them, you'll need an Office 365 subscription. That's $99.99 a year for most folks.
With that subscription, you'll be able to create Office documents with features that come close to matching the capabilities of the full version. They'll be stored online, so you can work on files on your iPad and come back to them later on a PC, Mac or other supported device. You can read more about its features at this Microsoft Office blog post.
You can also see the apps in action in this video:
Download links: Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
Original post
Microsoft isn't saying so for sure, but the smart money believes the company will – at long last – launch a version of its Office productivity suite for iPad during a press event today.
That the software giant has been working on Office for iPad is not in dispute. Former CEO Steve Ballmer said as much last year, though he insisted it wouldn't be released until after a more touch-friendly version for Windows 8 was out.
But there's a new sheriff in town, and current CEO Satya Nadella will be heading up the announcement, which begins at noon CDT today and will be streamed live from Microsoft's News Center site. It's possible that we'll hear about a new version of Office for the PC, but that would be a surprise.
By finally caving in to the iPad, Microsoft is confronting the reality that has been built by the device, which dramatically changed the computing landscape. PC sales are down, tablet sales are up, and this tectonic shift can be squarely laid at the feet of Apple's iPad, first unveiled only four years ago.
In fact, the change is so profound that the tablet market is already reaching maturity and its white-hot growth is starting to slow. That has led to headline like this one from the New York Times: Microsoft's Office Suite Finally Coming to iPad, Maybe Too Late.
The article, by Nick Wingfield, points out that Microsoft's hesitation to offer Office for iPad has given the makers of other productivity titles an opportunity to gain a foothold. Apple, for example, now gives away its iOS version of iWork, and iPad users are now used to getting things done with software other than Office.
But the allure of the iconic Microsoft brand is strong. If the product is priced right, and if it really combines the power of Office with the friendliness of the iOS interface, Microsoft could have a huge hit on its hands. From the Times story:
Rick Sherlund, an analyst with Nomura Securities, says he believes Microsoft could add $1 billion or so of additional revenue from Office for the iPad and other devices that don't run Windows over the next year or so. While it would take more than that to make a big difference for a company of Microsoft's size, he said investors believed that Microsoft was showing a greater willingness to create products for other companies' devices.
Can you expect Office for Android and maybe even Google's Chrome OS? Maybe not today, but Microsoft's new CEO appears to be better at reading the writing on the wall than his predecessor.
Welcome to the post-PC era, Microsoft. You may be late to the party, but there will be benefits for just showing up, maybe even a renewed relevance.
I'll update this post after Microsoft's announcement later today.

It's been a strange week for Falcons receiver Roddy White.
The saga began when White told a fan on Twitter that, if Mercer bears Duke in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, White would give the fan season tickets in the first row on the 50 yard line.
Then, after Mercer indeed beat Duke, White welshed. And White absorbed plenty of criticism and negative P.R. for not making good on his word.
Suddenly, White has had a change of heart. He took to Twitter within the past two hours to commit to a pair of season tickets, and then some. White also will give the fan a pair of Super Bowl tickets, pregame sideline passes to a game, and a day at training camp as White's guest.
It's unclear why or how White decided days after the fact to do the right thing. But he has, plus more.
Here's hoping that he'll be applauded as loudly as he was criticized. Then again, White could have avoided any and all criticism by making good on his vow without being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.

Okura Bush Walkway
The Okura Bush Walkway winds its way through the Okura River Estuary and through coastal forest to Karepiro Bay and historic Dacre Cottage.
Alert/Important notice
Part of the section from Haigh Rd end to Karepiro Bay have had slips. Take extreme caution negotiating these areas.
Time and distance:
Haighs Access Rd to Dacre Cottage 4.8 km, 1.5 hours one way.
Haighs Access Rd to Stillwater 8 km, 3 hours one way.
Type: Walking Track
This track takes you through regenerating coastal kauri forest along the Okura River estuary and edge of the Long Bay – Okura Marine Reserve to Karepiro Bay and historic Dacre Cottage, and on to Stillwater.
From Haighs Rd the track follows the Okura River estuary through mixed coastal forest, with groves of nikau, pohutukawa and regenerating kauri. After a 20-minute hill climb the track drops down to the rivers edge where you may see a variety of wading birds such as stilts and oystercatchers. It then climbs to a headland before dropping quite steeply to Karepiro Bay, where the restored historic Dacre Cottage is located at the northern end. Dacre Cottage was built in the 1850s by Henry Dacre, son of the retired sea captain Ranulf Dacre, who bought the Weiti block in 1848.
If heading to Stillwater, you can follow the coastline at low tide, or take the overland track, climbing steeply above the coastal cliffs, with good views of Karepiro Bay and the Hauraki Gulf, before dropping back to the Weiti River estuary. From here the track follows the river, crossing private land to the Stillwater car park.
What to expect:
- Karepiro Bay is part of Marine Reserve (restrictions apply)
- Karepiro Bay and Stillwater end are fragile areas, with NZ Dotterel and Oystercatcher populations
- Dogs are not permitted on the tracks because of the threat they pose to stock and wildlife. Exceptions include certified guide dogs and permitted hunting dogs
- Suitable for people with low to moderate fitness and abilities
- Clearly sign posted. Stream and river crossings are bridged
- Walking shoes or light tramping/hiking boots required
Getting there
The walkway has two entrances – Haighs Access Rd, off East Coast Rd at the southern end, and Stillwater Rd at the northern end.

Types of Charcoal Grills
There are three main types of charcoal grills you'll come across in your search. All of these different types will be available in a variety of different sizes, ranging from small and portable to large and built-in.
Kettle Grills
Kettle grills are a popular option on account of being pretty simple and affordable. They are also extremely versatile, as you can find them in a wide variety of sizes. If you're looking for a portable charcoal grill, this would be the style that would likely fit you best.
If you want a BBQ grill, but you're not prepared to make a big financial investment, you can find a decent selection of kettle grills for less than $200, with many of these in the $30 to $60 range. Keep in mind, like any other appliance in your home, the overall size and number of features will play a role in the total cost.
Kettle grills are defined by their round shape and defined bowl that holds your coals. It's this bowl-shape that allows this type of charcoal grill to retain much of their heat, which makes them especially good for simpler grilling tasks with shorter cook times.
They usually have a fairly small cooking surface, which means that while they're suitable for smaller gatherings or grilling for your immediate family, they may not be the best charcoal grill for large parties.
If affordability is one of your top priorities and you just want a decent grill that gets the job done, then a kettle grill is a going to be a good fit for you.
In Summary:
- Your most affordable option.
- Often the most portable type of grill, especially with smaller sizes.
- Better for meats that require a shorter cooking time.
- Good for grilling small quantities, but not ideal for large parties.
Barrel Grills & Smokers
Barrel grills are bigger and a bit more versatile than kettle grills. If you're looking to go beyond basic grilling and want to try your hand at start slow cooking or smoking some of your meats, then you should consider going with a barrel grill.
This type of grill provides a larger cooking surface, making it ideal for anyone who likes grilling for large groups of people. You will not only be able to make more food at once, but do so at a quicker rate with a barrel grill.
Due to their larger size, they tend to cost a little more than kettle grills though. Barrel grills usually fall somewhere in the $100-$400 price range, with higher-end models with all the bells and whistles sometimes reaching over $1,000. A lot of barrel grills tend to have the barrel shape their name would suggest, but not all of them have a rounded top and bottom.
In Summary:
- Offer a large cooking space.
- Good for slow cooking and smoking meats.
- Cost a little more than kettle grills.
- Typically have more features.
Ceramic & Kamado Grills
Ceramic grills are often referred to as kamado grills or egg-shaped grills. They're built with a Japanese design that not only holds heat in effectively, but also regulates the temperature more efficiently than any other type of charcoal grill.
Kamado grills are fantastic for a wide range of cooking tasks. They can be used for the same delicious juicy meats you'd make with other charcoal grills, but you can also use them for grilling things like pizzas, breads, and paella. You can even make many delicious desserts.
With thick walls and egg-shaped design, kamado grills warm up faster than other types of charcoal grills and have a reputation of producing better flavors because the smoke and heat remain contained within the grill during cooking. Unlike other types of grills, these are extremely durable and can stay outside all year-round with little worries about how the weather will affect it.
Of course, with all these extra benefits comes an extra cost. Ceramic grills usually range from $300 to $2,000, with most of the best-known brands starting around $700. If you do a lot of grilling, this is definitely a worthy investment.
It's quality, reputation and ease of use makes these one of the best charcoal grills available, but the question you need to ask yourself is whether it is the best grill for your lifestyle.
In Summary:
- Great for a wide range of cooking types and recipes.
- Meats have a great flavor because the smoke and heat is better contained.
- Warms up quickly and retains its temperature in a very efficient manner.
- More expensive than other types of charcoal grills.

HOPEDALE � An assistant district attorney and former candidate for state representative was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
Gina M. DiBaro, 43, of 4 Norcross St., Worcester, was arrested after she failed several field sobriety tests during a traffic stop Sunday night by Hopedale police on Cape Road in Mendon, police said.
Ms. DiBaro was arraigned Monday in Milford District Court and was released on personal recognizance.
Ms. DiBaro is an assistant district attorney for Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early, and ran unsuccessfully as a candidate for the 13th Worcester District in 2010, losing in the Democratic primary election that year.
According to police report on file in Milford District Court, the Hopedale Police Department received a report at 9:18 p.m. Sunday of an erratic driver in the southbound lane of South Main Street (Route 140). The vehicle, a black BMW, was seen crossing the center line and at one point traveling completely in the opposite lane, according to the report.
Police caught up to the BMW at 9:23 p.m. on South Main Street, and stopped the vehicle on Cape Road (still Route 140) in Mendon, just over the town line.
Ms. DiBaro, who was alone in the vehicle, told police she had just left a friend's house after watching the Patriots game, where she had three beers.
Officer Landry wrote in his report that Ms. DiBaro's eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and her speech was slurred. Officer Landry also noted he smelled alcohol coming from the passenger compartment of the BMW.
Officer Landry called for backup, and as he was conferring with Sgt. Steve Mahan, Ms. DiBaro allegedly drove away and pulled into the driveway of the Greenhouse Pub, parking in the middle of two marked spaces.
The officers asked why she drove away after being instructed not to go anywhere, Officer Landry noted. Ms. DiBaro "appeared to be disoriented and not understanding she was involved in a motor vehicle stop."
The officers conducted three field sobriety tests, all of which she failed, according to police. At one point, Officer Landry asked Ms. DiBaro to touch the tip of her right index finger to the tip of his pen, at which point she touched her finger to her nose. She also appeared to be unsteady on her feet, flailing her arms for balance.
Ms. DiBaro refused to take a breath test.
Ms. DiBaro could not be reached immediately for comment. Her home answering machine would not accept a message.
She has been placed on unpaid adminstrative leave by the district attorney's office, according to spokesman Timothy Connolly.

How To Export From PGAdmin, Export PGAdmin Data To CSV
This afternoon I was using PGAdmin and needed to export some data from a query I had run but realized I wasn't even sure if PGAdmin had this capability. Typically I would export data using the PSQL command line but since I was already working in PGAdmin I wanted to try and figure out if the capability existed and if so how to do it. After some playing around I was able to figure out how to export PGAdmin data to a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format that would be Microsoft Excel friendly. Follow the directions below to export PGAdmin data to a .CSV file to open in MS Excel.

Romeo & Juliet Scenario
The sound of a distant thunderstorm accompanies the first image of the star-crossed lovers caught up in events they cannot control.
Act I
A Square in Town
It is carnival time and the Montagues are decorating the square in preparation for the festivities. The Montague family crest is a bird of prey and this will be their carnival motif. Into this scene come three friends: Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio. Lady Capulet's nephew, Tybalt, and two henchmen inadvertently intrude and are provoked into a quarrel. The fight that breaks out becomes increasingly violent, and it is only the arrival of the Prince of Verona that finally puts an end to the bitter quarrel. He warns that further bloodshed will be punished by death.
Juliet's Bedroom
Juliet is being dressed by her nurse. Her mother, Lady Capulet, introduces Paris, a prospective suitor.
Outside the Capulet House
Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio decide to gatecrash the Capulet's masked ball.
The Capulet Ball
During the dancing, Romeo meets Juliet for the first time.
Tybalt becomes suspicious of his attentions and despite efforts by Mercutio to distract Tybalt, Romeo is unmasked. He and his companions are ordered to leave.
Juliet's Garden
Later that evening, Romeo climbs into the garden below Juliet's balcony and they rejoice in their mutual love.
Act II
A Square in Town
The air is heavy with the impending storm. A procession of carnival birds is lead by Mercutio and Benvolio. Romeo appears. He has fallen deeply in love with Juliet and his friends cannot distract him. The nurse arrives with a letter, and after some teasing Romeo discovers that Juliet is waiting for him with Friar Laurence.
Friar Laurence's Cell
Romeo & Juliet are joined in marriage with the nurse as their witness.
Back in the Square
Tybalt and Paris lead a group of Capulets in a dance celebrating their carnival motif - the cats. An incident provokes a fresh outbreak of violence. Romeo, in his efforts to avoid more bloodshed, distracts Mercutio, leaving him open to Tybalt's killing thrust. Romeo can no longer play peacemaker; he has no choice but to avenge his dead friend.
By murdering Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, Romeo has sacrificed all hope of reconciliation between the two families. He must escape Verona at once or lose his life. The threatening storm finally breaks as Lady Capulet laments Tybalt's death.
Act III
Juliet's Bedroom
Rain is falling steadily. The lovers' first and last night together is over and they must part. Romeo reluctantly takes leave of his new wife.
The nurse arrives to warn Juliet that her parents are bringing Paris to her room. Juliet's refusal of Paris provokes her father to a violent outburst. The nurse manages to protect her from a beating but Lord Capulet swears he will not be disobeyed. Alone and desperate, Juliet goes to the one person who can help her – Friar Laurence.
Friar Laurence's Cell
The Friar calms Juliet and gives her a potion that will induce a death-like sleep.
Juliet's Bedroom
Lady Capulet and the nurse prepare Juliet for her betrothal to Paris and her adult life. Paris tries to regain her trust and affection, but as soon as she is left alone her defiance and strength of purpose return.
Though frightened of taking the potion, she fixes her mind on Romeo and drinks the draught. As it takes effect Juliet scarcely has time to reach her bed before she loses consciousness.
The Wedding Morning
Juliet's friends come to decorate her room on her wedding morning, filling the room with rose petals before she wakes. The nurse brings the bridal dress but the form on the bed remains still - Juliet appears to be dead.
The Capulet Crypt
The mourning Capulets have taken their last leave of Juliet when Romeo breaks into the vault. He desperately tries to revive her but she cannot respond, and believing her to be dead, Romeo takes poison.
When Juliet regains consciousness her lover is already dead. There is no poison left for her to drink, so with a dagger, she takes her own life.
Friar Laurence arrives too late to avert the tragedy.
Over the dead bodies of their children, Lord Capulet and Lord Montague finally recognise the futility of their hatred.

SIGNAL HILL — After hitting a five-year low of 28 incidents in 2011, violent crime in Signal Hill rose last year with 43 incidents being reported.
However, violent crime, which includes, murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, was still below the five-year average of 44.6 incidents reported from 2008 to 2012, Signal Hill Police Department officials said in releasing the latest crime stats this week.
Property crime, on the other hand, was at a five-year high in 2012. A total of 536 property crimes were reported last year, up from 471 in 2011 and a low of 401 in 2010, according to the police department.
The number of reported larcenies, which is basically theft, increased over the last two years, rising to 362 in 2012, well above the five-year average of 307.4.
Vehicle thefts were up significantly in 2012 as well, rising to 87 from 60 in 2011 and above the five-year average of 66. The other crime included in the property crimes category, burglary, was at 87 reported incidents, dropping from 99 in 2011 and just above the five-year average of 85.4.
"These are the same trends that have been seen regionally and we are already proactively addressing these challenges," Police Chief Michael Langston said in a statement. "We were happy to see the reported instances of residential and commercial burglaries go down from last year."
According to Lt. Ron Sagmit, percentage changes are not indicated in the crime report because the difference of a few numbers distorts the overall picture.
"It doesn't make sense to report a 10 to 15 percent increase or decrease in a particular line item when the actual numbers might differentiate by one or two," he said in a statement. "That doesn't provide an accurate picture of what is happening locally."
The 2.2-square-mile city of over 11,000 people is surrounded by Long Beach, which also recently reported a dramatic property crimes spike in 2012.
According to Long Beach police, the increase was largely the result of the number of nonviolent inmates who were released early under Assembly Bill 109.
Auto thefts, home burglaries and garage burglaries soared 19 percent to 40 percent in Long Beach, triggering a 10 percent increase overall in the property crime category, statistics on the Long Beach Police Department website show.
Violent crime in Long Beach, however, hit a 30-year low in 2012.
At a recent Signal Hill City Council forum, some candidates in the March 5 election listed public safety as a top priority in their campaigns.
Councilwoman Ellen Ward said public safety is a top priority for her, while challenger Nancy Sciortino laid out a more detailed strategy.
"I'd like to implement neighborhood watch programs to help keep crime down and help our police department," Sciortino said. "We have it in the north end of the city and we need to bring it to the top of the hill too."
Signal Hill restarted the Neighborhood Watch and Business Watch programs in 2011 and are working to educate residents on protecting their property, Langston said.
Most important, Langston said, is how safe people feel in the city on the hill.
"The instances of random acts of violence are very few and far between here in Signal Hill. Our residents and people working in Signal Hill are not being accosted or robbed in their homes and businesses," he said. "The police department has an extremely fast response time, responds and investigates every crime reported to the department. If a citizen calls, we proactively respond to their request for service."

By Marc Livitz: Can it really be nearly twenty years since Julio Cesar Chavez was awarded a gift draw in front of nearly 60,000 crazed spectators at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas? The Mexican icon's bout versus pound for pound great Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker is still a major talking point amongst boxing fans. The events of September 10, 1993 are being reawakened in the hearts and minds of many as April 20 draws closer. In ten days' time, undefeated Mexican sensation and WBC light middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will be center stage of the fight world and he will match wits and fists against undefeated WBA titleholder Austin "No Doubt" Trout at the same venue and city as previously mentioned. The comparisons between the two fights were perhaps inevitable, although many would agree that Alvarez has not quite yet achieved the status of national hero as Chavez is still known.
Canelo tested his promotional powers earlier this year. He had initially been set to fight on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s May 4 showdown with Robert Guerrero in Las Vegas. Saul wanted a guarantee from Mayweather that if the two should emerge victorious in May, then they would find one another in the ring for a September bout. Floyd refused and off went Canelo. He'll now fight in front of over 35,000 in the Alamodome as opposed to merely 16,000 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and perhaps better still his bout will be televised on Showtime cable network (10PM ET/7PM PT) and not Pay Per View.
Alvarez is currently handled by Golden Boy Promotions. Legendary fighter and current president of Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya couldn't hide his excitement for the upcoming bout when he as well as the participating fighters took part in an international media conference call this afternoon.
"We are now a little over a week away and things are moving along extremely well. Tickets have been selling like hot cakes. There's been over 35,000 tickets sold. We're expecting many more to be sold as walk up sales and many people from south of the border to attend the fight as well. Of course this bout will be for the WBC and the WBA junior middleweight crowns, but now also for the Ring Magazine championship."
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO's) then expressed his happiness surrounding his upcoming bout, the chance to carry the pugilistic torch for Mexico and stressed that Mayweather, Jr. is now in his rearview when he said, "I am very happy that the fight is so near. I am delighted for the chance to fight for the people. I'm motivated and I can't wait to give my absolute best. I am only thinking about this fight at this time. After this we can discuss what could be next. It's an honor to be looked upon as Mexico's champion and I know that I have to continue to do my job in the ring."
The Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico champion commented that Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO's) had been on his radar ever since Trout beat Canelo's older brother, Rigoberto two years ago. Austin most recently triumphed in his clash with Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto last December in Cotto's backyard of Madison Square Garden in New York City, after which Alvarez knew the time to fight the Las Cruces, New Mexico champion had come.
"When he beat my brother, I was thinking of blood revenge. I felt so helpless when I was watching him. My team was looking for a fight with Trout after he beat Cotto. Golden Boy helped make the decision and here we are. Without a doubt, this is my most difficult fight. The next fight is always the toughest and I use any criticism as added motivation. He's (Trout) a strong and undefeated fighter. We had Miguel Cotto in mind, but when Trout beat him we got other ideas. It gave me more of a desire to fight the best."
Oscar De La Hoya commended his fighter's desire to step up at the tender age of 22 and face the toughest possible opposition. "It speaks volumes of such a young man to already want to fight the very best. Austin Trout is an undefeated fighter and the WBA champion. Some people were worried. One of them wasn't me. If you compare Saul's career to anyone else's, then you would see that no one including myself would take such a dangerous fight so early in their career", said the former multi division champion.
Parallels are consistently being drawn between Julio Cesar Chavez's September 1993 bout with Pernell Whitaker, perhaps unfairly. April 20 will once again showcase an undefeated Mexican superstar and an elusive southpaw. Saul Alvarez is taking it all in stride.
"I am honored and proud to have comparisons made to such great fighters. I want to show that I belong here. It's a big responsibility for me. I have seen the videos of the (Chavez vs. Whitaker) fight. It's similar because it's going to be a difficult fight for me. Austin Trout is a slick, difficult fighter like Pernell Whitaker once was."
Canelo has no second thoughts of his withdrawal from the May 4 Las Vegas card. He's actually glad that he didn't have to wait another month to get back into the ring. He commented, "I'm happy to be fighting in San Antonio. Just look at the response we've received. I am waiting for April 20 and I'm very excited."
As far as Austin "No Doubt" Trout is concerned, April 20 cannot arrive quickly enough. In his mind, he's eager to see more fights such as his in the future in an effort to strengthen the sport. He's prepared for whatever Alvarez has in store for him.
"I have said this many times. This fight needed to happen. We have two undefeated fighters in the prime of their careers. I'm looking to win and hopefully becoming a Pay Per View star. He (Alvarez) has lots of skill. He's fast and strong with explosive reflexes. We don't think his style will be a problem. In all of my fights, my opponents have left the ring marked up. My punching power is always underestimated."
Trout defeated Miguel Cotto in New York City and now he has the chance to beat Canelo Alvarez in San Antonio. Although he knows the crowd (most of it) will not necessarily be on his side, his nerves will not get the best of him come fight night. He's proud to be associated with Pernell Whitaker, yet he feels there are some differences.
"The crowd can't do anything for him. They can only cheer for him. We're in the midst of a hard camp because we're preparing for a tough fight", said the unbeaten New Mexico fighter. "I punch more than Sweet Pea did. The best way to not let history repeat itself is to know your history. I am looking to not give the crowd anything to cheer for. I know early on, they'll cheer if he (Alvarez) sneezes."
The fighters do have a rematch clause in place, yet Trout isn't looking for a chance at one. He knows the cards in Texas may not be stacked in his direction. Alvarez's WBC title is on the line and the WBC is based in Mexico City. The WBC Welterweight title was on the line in 1993 when Pernell Whitaker faced Julio Cesar Chavez, only it was Whitaker who was the titleholder.
"We know that Texas is WBC country. I can't use my energy to draw on things that are out of my control. We'll stick to our guns and do our absolute best. It's all motivation. He's considered one of the best. He has one of the belts that I want and this has been a lifelong dream. This is important to establish my legacy. I know a rematch clause is only for his benefit. It shows a lack of confidence in their fighter. There's only a rematch if he loses. If he wins, then they'll just go on their way."
As evidenced by his willingness to fight Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden last December, Austin Trout feels that a true champion must be ready to defend his title against the best, wherever the chance may present itself. He hopes that San Antonio will be another one of the many places he's willing to travel to show that he has earned his spot among the sport's top fighters.
"I will defend my title around the world. All the great fighters did it. I'd love to bring back the golden age of fighting when the best fought the best and were representatives of the world. We're leading by example and showing what champions should do. This will be a great event. I am expecting the best from Canelo and I'm more than happy to match him step by step."

Many teens are entering the workforce for the first time.
Have you ever wondered what hiring managers think during the interview process? It's difficult to know what they are looking for, what they like or what they don't.
Many teens may not think the way they are dressed when they show up to an interview is important, but it is.
"You don't need to be wearing a shirt and tie, but you should look clean and presentable," said Karen Long, owner of Garlock's restaurant in Lockport.
Wendy Wilson, owner of Wilson's Pizza Shop in Newfane, agreed that job seekers should look clean and neat.
And Matt Hoffman, manager of Budwey's supermarket in Newfane, had some more specific advice.
"Men should be wearing a shirt and tie," he said. "Women should be wearing a blouse and dress pants. You should not have any facial piercings."
Mark Newkirk, 18, works at Garlock's. He said the hardest part about going to his job interview was "knowing what [the potential employer] wants you to say. Or smiling; you have to remember to smile."
Newkirk's advice to other teens is "remember to dress properly and look clean; don't wear jeans. Another big thing is make sure to prepare ahead of time. You don't want to be stumbling over your words."
Teens may also wonder what not to do during an interview.
You should never lie about your employment history. An employer can easily check that information.
Don't let your boyfriend or girlfriend tag along.
It 's common for teens to think they wouldn't be able to get a job because of sports or extracurricular activities. But most of the business owners interviewed said they can be flexible and are willing to accommodate students' schedules. Some say they look for employees with a good work ethic and if a student is involved in sports, it shows that he or she probably has that.
It's not possible to know what all employers are looking for, but a job interview is important and should be treated that way.
Haliegh Seeloff is a sophomore at Newfane High School.

New Policy
Major Revision of Existing Policy
Minor/Technical Revision of Existing Policy
Reaffirmation of Existing Policy
Repealed Policy
I. OBJECTIVE & PURPOSE In keeping with the University's mission of establishing an educational and healthy environment it becomes necessary to promulgate this Tobacco Policy to create a University community that is aware of: (1) The harmful and addictive potential of tobacco use; (2) The Florida Statues pertaining to tobacco use; (3) The consequences of tobacco use in restricted areas and buildings (4) Resources and involvement in the prevention and cessation of tobacco use. Furthermore, the purpose of this policy is to protect people from the health hazards of secondhand tobacco smoke and to maintain compliance with the Florida health initiative in Section 20, Article X of the Florida State Constitution. II. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions shall apply: (1) Secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), means smoke emitted from lighted, smoldering, or burning tobacco when the smoker is not inhaling; smoke emitted at the mouthpiece during puff drawing; and smoke exhaled by the smoker (2) Smoking means inhaling, exhaling, burning, carrying, or possessing any lighted tobacco product, including cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, and any other lighted tobacco product. (3) Tobacco refers to any part of the tobacco plant used to make cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars, chew, snuff (or any other smokeless tobacco form) for the purpose of smoking, chewing or sucking. (4) Clean Indoor Act refers to a Florida statute enacted in 1985 to protect people from the hazards of second-hand tobacco smoke. III. AUTHORITY The University of North Florida President's Advisory Council on Substance Abuse shall be responsible for the review, revision and evaluation of the UNF Tobacco Policy. The Department of Environmental Health and Safety shall be responsible for the implementation of this policy. The University community at-large shall be responsible for the enforcement of the UNF Tobacco Policy (see section IV. C.) Final authority for any and all revisions and/or changes to this policy will reside with the Office of President or designee. IV. STATEMENT OF POLICY AND PROCEDURES
The successful implementation of this policy is contingent on providing education services and regulation in the following four areas: A. Guidelines for the Restriction of Tobacco B. Tobacco Education and Prevention Services C. Enforcement of Policy D. Evaluation
The University community shall be notified of the Tobacco Policy through the following mechanisms, including but not limited to: catalogs, University's web page, Student Handbook, Faculty Association Handbook, Administration and Professional Association Handbook, USPA Handbook, the Spinnaker, Campus Update, and Inside UNF. A. Guidelines for the Restriction of Tobacco All tobacco users will be restricted to outside areas generally located at least twenty five feet away from buildings and heavily traveled walkways. B. Tobacco Education and Prevention Services As part of the educational and prevention process the University, via the Campus Alcohol and Drug Information Center (CADIC), Department of Health Promotion, Student Medical Services, and in conjunction with other campus departments and/or units, will provide on a regular basis a wide range of activities to increase the University community's understanding of the harmful effects and addictive potential caused by tobacco use. These activities are centered on primary prevention (i.e., education), and secondary prevention (i.e., cessation). Specific primary prevention activities will include: Education efforts by the Campus Alcohol and Drug Information Center Participation in national, state, and regional tobacco prevention/cessation events (e.g. Great American Smoke Out) Regular dissemination of tobacco educational literature to the University community Presentations on tobacco use and tobacco cessation to residence halls, academic classes, faculty and staff
Specific secondary prevention activities (i.e., intervention) will include: Both one-on-on and group tobacco cessation activities and classes Specific efforts in the areas of evaluation and research shall focus on each tier of prevention (i.e., primary, secondary) and shall be conducted regularly.
The Campus Alcohol and Drug Information Center promotes prevention and education to better enable students, faculty and staff to engage in informed, responsible and healthy decisions regarding the role of tobacco use in their lives. C. Enforcement of Policy The enforcement of this policy will be community based. Tobacco users are expected to act responsibly by complying with this policy. Both tobacco users as well as non-tobacco users have the collective responsibility to ensure the compliance of this policy – e.g., tobacco users and non tobacco users point out the designated smoking areas when someone is not in compliance.
Repeat offenders of this policy shall receive further appropriate enforcement action (e.g., contacting Student Conduct Office for student violators; contacting appropriate Vice President, Dean, Chair or Supervisor for faculty/staff). D. Evaluation The purpose of the evaluation component is to ensure the successful achievement of the policy/program objectives. The President's Advisory Council on Substance Abuse will be responsible for evaluating the UNF Tobacco Policy. V. CONCLUSION
The University has an obligation to educate its community on matters concerning tobacco use including tobacco education and cessation resources as well as restrictions on the use of tobacco. Special a attention has been paid to providing a balance between educational and cessation components, while at the same time alerting members to the importance of policy compliance. It is hoped that all members of the University community will become familiar with this policy and continuously strive to promote behaviors and attitudes that are compatible with the educational mission of the University, including active involvement in educational and health enhancement efforts.

Creem (which is always capitalized in print as CREEM despite the magazine's masthead appearing in lower case letters), "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine," was a monthly rock 'n' roll publication first published in March 1969 by Barry Kramer and founding editor Tony Reay. It suspended production in 1989 but received a short-lived renaissance in the early 1990s as a glossy tabloid. Lester Bangs, often cited as "America's Greatest Rock Critic," became editor in 1971. The term "punk rock" coined by the magazine in May 1971 in Dave Marsh's Looney Tunes column about Question Mark & the Mysterians. The same issue introduced "heavy metal" as the name of a genre in a review of Sir Lord Baltimore by "Metal" Mike Saunders.
In the winter of 1969, Barry Kramer owned the Detroit record store Full Circle as well as Mixed Media, a head shop/book store and was an unsuccessful concert promoter and band manager. In a fit of pique at the local alternative paper rejecting his concert review, he decided to publish his own paper. Tony Reay, a clerk at the record store, became the first editor, naming the paper after his favorite band.

College Admissions Expert Elizabeth Levine: Errors When Completing FAFSA
What are some of the errors people make when completing the FAFSA (Federal Financial Aid) form?
Listed below are common errors people make when completing the FAFSA that can potentially mean tens of thousands of dollars to your bottom line when it comes to receiving financial aid.
1. Missing the college's financial aid priority deadline – Look on the college web site to know when this date is. If you don't submit your forms by the deadline you are not guaranteed any funds, even if you have demonstrated need
2. Waiting until your previous years taxes are file – You can complete the FAFSA with your estimated tax information. If you want until your taxes are completed you may have missed the school's priority deadline (see #1)
3. Transposing digits/entering cents – Only enter whole dollars and review your answers prior to submitting. For example, entering $395,634 vs. $935,634 in parental non retirement assets can mean the difference between receiving aid or not
4. Marital status as of the date you file – Do not anticipate what your martial status will be at some point in the future. Report your marital status as of the date filed
5. Divorced/separated parents reporting both parent's income and assets or the wrong parents income and assets. The parent that the student spent most of their time with for the year is the parent's income and assets that are used
6. Not including stepparents children in Household Size –As long as the stepparent spends at least 50% in supporting their children they can be included in the household size number reported, even if they don't live with them
7. Not reporting stepparent financial information – Even though they are not the biological parent of the child heading to college if they are married to the parent of that child and living in their household so their income and assets need to be reported br/> 8. Reporting retirement assets and primary home equity – Only non-retirement assets and secondary home equity is reported on the FAFSA
9. Not reporting unusual circumstances to the school's financial office – If you have had a significant event that affected your finances report it to the school (loss of employment, illness in the family that caused high medical expenses…etc.). You can file an appeal and potentially receive additional aid
10. Failing to apply for financial aid – If you don't file, you will with all certainty not receive any financial aid

Leftover Lace Makes Versatile Designs
Posted in Design,Fashion,Interiors,KidsJanuary 20, 2015No comments
Adding a little lace can give a design an instant lift. Whether seeking a style that's a little edgy, sweet or a kickback to a couple decades ago – lace can make it happen. No-sew projects with doilies, remnants or upcycled materials can turn a plain item into an original statement piece, for a fraction of the price of a store bought item. Too tight, too short or too boring shirts can be made bigger and more fashionable by adding a lace extender. Sew a lace panel into the side seam or around the bottom edge of a T-shirt or… read more

Inspired life: Johnson loved cousin and Christie
Life imitated art, in a way, when Charlottesville city Sheriff Cornelia Johnson first entered law enforcement. After working as a school crossing guard in town, she was influenced to join the police by two other ladies with badges.
One was her cousin, Prentiss Martin-Strickland, the first black policewoman in Washington, D.C. The other was Christie Love, the eponymous African-American crime-buster of the 1974-75 TV series Get Christie Love, a heroine who always informed the nogoodniks she busted, "You're under arrest, sugar."
"I got started from my cousin," says Johnson, "and Christie Love was really what sparked the idea that I could become a police officer" (in one of those rare instances of the media being credited with decreasing crime).
Love was played by Teresa Graves, who died last year at age 53. "I came into my office and sat back," says Johnson, "and my heart kind of dropped a lot, thinking, 'Gee whiz, this is a person who never knew that she had someone out there whose whole life she actually turned around."
Johnson is the second black female Sheriff in Virginia's history. Michelle Mitchell of Richmond was the first.
Johnson has her own take on her current position. "People always say to me, 'I don't think you realize what you've done by becoming the first black female Sheriff here in Charlottesville.'" But, to me, that's not an extraordinary thing, that's just an ordinary thing, in this day and age, for anyone whether you're black, green, gray, white, or whatever. I've probably accomplished a lot more than I realize, but I don't look at it that way."
A career in law enforcement has led Johnson to a job that has a lot more to do with juggling paperwork than with strapping on two six-guns and taming the town. The cases come, and the cases go.
Among other duties, Johnson manages local city courts, whether that means making certain that the proper number of officers are on hand or arranging for extra space should the media or spectators be present. "The cases go fairly smoothly," she says. "We haven't had any problems, so I don't really think that much about it."
Johnson was born near Covesville and graduated from Jackson P. Burley High School. After working as a policewoman and managing the Omni Hotel's gift shop, she was elected city Sheriff in 1998. She will be up for office again in '05.
She longs for "more cohesiveness" among the City and County officers– and in the public. "I would like to see more people getting along, just helping each other, which we have a lot of here in Charlottesville, but even more so. I think there's a lot more that can be done."
Age: Recently turned 60.
What brought you here? When I first started law enforcement, I came to be a school crossing guard.
What's worst about living here? Other than people working a little closer together, sincerely, I would say that we're in the best place ever.
Favorite hangout? Probably at my husband's shop, Cavalier Pipe and Tobacco.
Most overrated virtue? I would say that perhaps people here will give to anyone at the drop of a halfway sad story. And I think a lot of times it's used a little more than it should be.
What would people be surprised to know about you? Two things: how much I really do in the community... and how particular I am about certain issues... I'm a stickler for cleanliness and those type things.
If you could change one thing about yourself? How much I give, perhaps.
What accomplishment are you proudest of? Being here at the Sheriff's office, I guess.
What do people find most annoying about you? How strict I am in certain instances... I think that annoys people sometimes, and some things that I say. I'm misunderstood a lot of the time.
Whom do you admire?: Nancy Caperton. She's a real estate agent with Roy Wheeler, who perhaps has been like a second mother to me, steered me in the right direction.
Favorite book? Our Kind of People by Lawrence Otis Graham
What subject causes you to rant? [horrified-sounding] Math
What thrills you about living in the 21st century? All the different opportunities out there for me and other people, and the amount of invitations I get in a week– or a day, sometimes.
What creeps you out about life in the 21st century? When something should happen to me, and I happen to pass on to the other side, what would happen to my family.
What do you drive? The Sheriff's car
What's in your car CD player right now? Nothing. I don't have anything in there but a radio for law enforcement and a radio in the car. No CD.
What's your next trip? I'm not sure. I often think about it, now, at my age: Where do I go from here?
What's the most trouble you've ever gotten in? I've always been a good person, [laughs] and that bothers people. Overextending myself.
What do you regret? That I haven't maybe made it any further in life than I have.
Favorite comfort food? Sweet potato pie
What's always in your refrigerator? Cheese, because my husband loves cheese. And ice cream.
Must-see TV? CNN
Favorite cartoon? None
Describe a perfect day. When everything is going good at home, my husband's health is good, all the courts are going along smoothly, I have a dinner meeting in the afternoon after work. I come home, talk to my husband about it, then we have a nice evening.
Walter Mitty fantasy? None
Who would play you in a movie? Probably one of the soap opera [stars]
What's your most embarrassing moment? When I was made to look like a bad person during a little ordeal with my brother. It was all misconstrued, but I took that along in stride.
Best advice you ever got? From my mother: Always respect other people, particularly your elders; don't always put yourself first.
Favorite bumper sticker? My senior moment just kicked in, so I can't think of it right now.

Ok. I am a new poster... We have two GPs. Weve had them since they were 8 weeks old. They are now 18 mos old. They are sisters. I admit I was one of those people who read and read and read abt GPs prior to getting them but also told aka lied to myself that ours wouldnt behave that way . We are trying not to give up on them which many folks do and why theres so many in shelters but we are growing weary.
Problem 1. Weve resorted to putting them in a 25x80 ft chain length run but I hate them not being in our 15 ac grassy pasture... where we originally wanted them to be with our goats and mini donkey. They always escape and harass neighbors (bc they dont know their boundaries and bark in the neighbors back yard at 330AM, chase their chickens and corner their horses... all Different neighbors who prob dont like us very much right now). Any tips on fencing or keeping them in on a larger scale? I read mixed opinions on electric fences/shock collars etc. I know they are prone to wander but I need them to stay on our property. The pasture is so large I never know where or how they escape. I think it is always digging though. We do have barbed wire at the top of our 4x4 square type fencing. Need tips for keeping them contained without having to keep them in the run they are in... it seems like doggie jail to me.
Problem 2. They fight like wolves at feeding time. And just like when they get out and wander do not listen when I try to break them up. I feed them in separate locations but alpha always goes from her bowl to her sisters bowl and bullies her til she doesnt eat much.
Neither are spayed yet. Thats on the list soon. Our vet wanted to wait til they were older. I wonder if that will calm them down?
Any info would be appreciated!

Edward L. Doheny II, president and CEO of Joy Global Inc., will be presenting this year's Penn State G. Albert Shoemaker Lecture in Mineral Engineering on Friday, April 25. His lecture, titled "Our Vision for Mining's Future," will focus on advances in mining technologies that could change mining in the future. The event begins at 3:30 p.m. with a reception in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum Gallery on the ground floor of Deike Building. The lecture begins promptly at 4 p.m. in Room 22 Deike Building.
Doheny previously served as an executive vice president for Joy Global as well as chief operating officer of Joy Global's underground business segment. He is a member of the company's board of directors. Before joining Joy Global in May 2006, Doheny spent 20 years with Ingersoll-Rand. While there he held a variety of senior executive positions, both domestic and international, including president of the Air Solutions Group, president of Shared Services and most recently as president of Industrial Technologies. He holds a bachelor's degree in engineering from Cornell University and a master's degree in management from Purdue University.
Doheny is a member of the board of directors and a member of the governing Executive Committee of the National Mining Association, the voice in the United States for the mining industry. In addition, he is a member of the board of directors and a member of the governing Executive Committee of the World Coal Association, the voice of coal in the international energy, environment and development forums. Recently, he was appointed by the U.S. government as a member of the Coal Industry Advisory Board (CIAB) to the International Energy Agency. CIAB members are appointed by their government and currently represent 17 countries from which comes 85 percent of the world's coal production. Doheny also serves as a director of John Bean Technologies Corp. and holds two patents.
The G. Albert Shoemaker Lecture Series in Mineral Engineering was established in 1992 by Mercedes G. Shoemaker to honor the memory of her husband, a Pittsburgh civic and industrial leader dedicated to the support of higher education. G. Albert Shoemaker, a Penn State Distinguished Alumnus, had an eminent career in the mineral industries. He was for many years a leader of the coal industry, serving as president of the Pittsburgh Coal Division of Babcock & Wilcox and later as president of Consolidation Coal Co. from 1960 to 1966. Among many civic and philanthropic activities, he served as a member of the University Board of Trustees from 1957 to 1978 and as board president from 1970-72.

With an Apple operating system upgrade to Lion (10.7) came the need to upgrade the image importer for PowerPoint.
PP 2011 OS 10.7 batch importer.app
This works similarly to the 10.6 batch importer, so read this earlier post for additional information. However, the 10.7 importer no longer has the ability to filter for jpeg and jpg files, so make sure these are the only file types in the folders you choose for importing. The filtering step kept causing the workflow to crash.

The program prepares students to work in convention and visitors' bureaus, conference centers, resorts, casinos, hotels, theme parks, theaters, and clubs throughout the United States.

KDE4 introduces some major changes in color schemes. Here you will find an overview of some new color-related features, as well as a preview of the new color schemes.
This should probably go somewhere better (like, "the documentation"?). For now techbase (with winterz' "highly-unofficial" permission) is being abused as a dumping ground for screenshots, in order to try to solicit feedback from kde-artists.
KDE4 includes more named colors then KDE3 had. These are divided into 5 groups:
which each contain 12 named colors:
making a total of 60 named colors.
KDE4 introduces "state effects"; three effects that can be applied to inactive windows, and disabled widgets.
NOTE: Inactive effects cause additional window repaints that some people may find annoying, or may cause performance problems on older machines.
The author (Matthew Woehlke, also the creator of all of these color schemes, with varying levels of inspiration or blatant copying) apologizes for the marketing spiel you are about to be subjected to if you read this section ;-).
Rich blues, vibrant yet soothing, threaten to pull you into the watery depths of this scheme. This is a port of the KDE3 scheme Dark Blue.
Soft, light pinks touched with green bring a gentle, eastern feel to this scheme reminiscent of the famous tree.
Bright, shiny gray with just a touch of blue, combined with vibrant blue accents, conjures the feel of polished metal, as well as memories of Keramik and Plastik schemes from KDE3.
Soft shades of sand are accented by rich red. This scheme is a port of the KDE3 scheme by the same name.
Dusty gray-purple with touches of green bring to mind a lilac bush on a warm summer night.
Pale shades of green with a touch of blue accents evoke images of grass-covered hills shrouded in fog.
Soft shades of gray touched by yellow mix with honey-colored highlights to give an impression of bees, or perhaps BeOS.
Dark shades of green shimmer with unearthly light in this scheme inspired by the glow of a sea of lush green grass in the deep of night.
Kudos if you can figure out the reference here. Due to questionable content, it will not be posted ;-). This scheme added at the request of Eike Hein, and inspired by Charamel for Firefox
Inspired by movies of dark waves breaking against tall, black cliffs, this scheme (a dark version of Whitewater) is perfect for those that love a sense of foreboding, or just the rich, natural look of volcanic glass.
Warm gray, subtle gold, and striking cyan come together in a warm industrial tribute to classic skyscrapers in the late afternoon sun.
Rich gray with a hint of floral meets soft cyan and vibrant royal-purple accents in this scheme inspired by orchids, and KDE3's Solaris.
Gray mingled with green joins blue accents in this outdoor scheme inspired by grass and rocks against a clear sky.
Inspired by a juice label, this scheme brings vibrant, light peachy tones reminiscent of juice by the same name, and welds it with floral green accents.
Calling to mind the river canyons of Colorado, this neutral scheme features a solid earthy/rocky gray base with blue accents.
Created from the KDE3-era wallpaper of the same name, this scheme was made by Matthew Woehlke, who uses (and has used, for about two years) it as his KDE3 scheme.
Reminiscent of the computers in the fictional city of the same name from the Matrix trilogy, this scheme features mainly black foreground elements on a starkly white background. It is included in kdeaccessibility and is intended to aid users with visual difficulties.
An inverse of the Zion scheme, this provides white-on-black elements, again maximizing contrast.

Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo
Bond #1 members and soon, it will make its way to specialist liquor shops nationwide.
I normally don't attempt tasting notes in the excruciating heat and humidity of the Japanese summer, but for this 33yo Karuizawa (sherry butt #7752) I was glad to make an exception. On the nose, the initial impressions are furniture polish, old chapels and antique shops. Then, there's dried figs, prune jam, sour plums and a whole variety of nuts: macadamias, pecan pie, cashews, hazelnuts, … you name it. That's not all, though. In the background, you'll find some really intriguing secondary notes: freshly made rhubarb jam, griottines, porcini, a hint of beef jerky and some lime peel. On the palate, it throws a whole patisserie at you: Christmas cake, pound cake with dried fruit and port sauce, marrons glacés, mincemeat, chocolate-coated blueberries, tiramisu, tarte tatin, Pierre Hermé's plaisirs sucrés and Irish coffee. If you're not into sweets – really good sweets – you're in trouble with this Karuizawa. The finish is long and mouth-coating on chocolate orange peel and caramel popcorn but with a lovely bitter-sweet edge. It's classic old Karuizawa but with little surprises left and right, as always. If you don't get this, you'll end up regretting it. Trust me.
Part of this cask was bottled in 2006 for sale at the distillery shop so you may come across a 200ml bottle with the same cask number on it. The present bottling – everything that was left in the cask – is limited to 348 bottles. That's not much but, even though this is a special release for the Japanese market, a few cases have been set aside for Karuizawa fans abroad who are members of Bond #1. Couriers in Japan will not ship alcohol abroad if the abv is over 60%. As if to accommodate fans abroad, the whisky in cask #7752 dropped just below that limit: 59.9%. Coincidence? I don't know, but where I come from, you don't question good fortune … Your move.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I did it. I have just managed to buy this beauty. Probably in the very last moment as now it is already sold out! I am very grateful for the notification. Thank you.

Thanks for your comment Lukasz. We're happy for you! Consider yourself lucky, because that bottle is already commanding astronomically high prices on the auction circuit here in Japan. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did...

I read this post a while ago, and talking about good fortune, I was just passing by the bic camera near ginza. And this bottle caught my eye - and looking at the alc %, I immediately knew what it was. And there went the last bottle off the shelf.
