UAW 5810 leaders at the October 2018 Annual Membership Meeting
The strength of our union is built upon a democratic foundation – UAW 5810 is a union of Postdocs and for Postdocs. The key to our many victories is majority Postdoc participation. Read below about the Postdocs from across UC who make up the elected leadership team, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, ideas, or would like to get involved in leadership.
Executive Board
I'm a Postdoc in the department of Animal Science at UC Davis, and I study mammary gland biology: how do hormones work together in mammary gland development during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. My interests include (but are not limited to) animal biology and physiology, cancer epidemiology, complex traits and diseases, personal genomics, science policy, social justice, camping, soccer, and good music.
I'm a Postdoc at UC Santa Cruz studying stem cell therapies for eye disease. I have been involved in political activism for many years and I also enjoy hiking, going to the beach and playing with my two kids.
I'm a Postdoc in Chemistry at UC Berkeley, where I study how nitrogen oxides that are emitted from fossil fuel combustion processes undergo oxidation in the atmosphere and impact air quality.

Back in school (Introduction)
I may be a little slow in responding for the next few months. I am back in school for the year working on some new certifications. There goes what little free time I had. I will still be posting regularly, just perhaps not quite as active as I've been recently.
What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.

Shivani Gopal has a Masters Degree in Commerce (Financial Planning) and is currently undertaking her MBA at the University of Sydney. She was recognised as one of Inside Small Business' Top 50 Small Business Leaders last year, while Cosmopolitan Magazine named her among Australia's top career women. Her social enterprise, The Remarkable Woman, empowers women to achieve their goals personally, professionally and financially. She speaks to Six Park head of communication Erika Jonsson about the importance of financial independence.
There were two things. I used to work at my parents' restaurant and I would get $5 a shift and it was brilliant because it taught me early lessons about money. At Christmas there was always a huge bounty of gifts and when I was quite young I decided I wanted to be the giver, not just the receiver. I had saved $700 and contributed just as much as I wanted because I didn't like the one-sided nature of the giving.
Beyond the money I earned at the restaurant I also received $5 a week in high school, mostly to spend on those external sport classes or to use if I wanted to buy something at the canteen or similar. My parents were quite conservative and not really into make-up and such, but I was a Millennial girl so I would go to the shops and buy a lipstick or a mascara by saving the left-over change from sport.
I suppose I learned quite young that if you want something, you're patient and you work for it, and that if you save, you can get the things you really want. I would encourage everyone to teach their kids the value of money by making them wait and making them save.
I realised very early in life just how important money was – that it can build you up or it can break you down. I realised that when my dad had a serious heart attack – he was really knocked about and had two bypasses and he couldn't work, and I saw the impact of that financially. I think it's so important that we get comfortable talking about the uncomfortable – we need to share stories about our ambitions and growth as well as what happens when the chips are down.
I learned a lot during that time – people will only support you and appreciate you to the point that they support and appreciate themselves. It's your responsibility to support yourself and make yourself happy. I realised I could stay and live an unfulfilled life, or I could leave and choose myself. I chose to leave and that was incredibly tough but I had to realise I was worth it.
I also learned that your financial independence is the tool to your freedom. I was crying to a girlfriend about how I couldn't leave and she agreed and asked me: "How could you ever afford to leave and survive on your own?" And I wondered what she meant by that because money was the least of my problems. But then saying that out loud made me realise that, actually, I did have a choice. And that's why I advocate financial empowerment for women – to save for a house or a car or to leave an unhappy marriage.
It was noticing fewer and fewer women in the workplace as I moved forward in my career – that saddened me and made me reflect on how hard my journey had been and having to try exceptionally hard to be recognised for my talent. I couldn't just be good or great – I had to be exceptional, and that is not merit. There are two ways of fixing that – one is empowering women, who are structurally disempowered by the pay gap and the leadership gap. The other is giving women access to leadership and mentoring. I wanted to give women access to that without the awkwardness of having to ask for help.
My parents. They both worked incredibly hard and came home and contributed equally to the household. They did equal amounts of cooking and cleaning – it taught me that a couple should contribute together. That was incredibly powerful for me. My mum is always saving for something, and she was modelling for me what being visionary with your finances looked like. There are dividends to discipline.
The most rewarding thing is being on the path to realise my vision and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone – I think we owe that to ourselves. The biggest challenge? I've been a corporate workhorse all my life and it's hard to untrain some of those things and learn how to be a really good business manager – not just a people manager or entrepreneur. Taking control of my ideal day and week and how I'll run things has been relatively new.
There's a lot of support out there – one of the most impactful things we've been able to do is help women renegotiate their pay. I'd encourage women not to negotiate against themselves – don't make it easy or cushion someone in the negotiation room. I would also advise employers and women not to talk about what they're currently earning – we undersell ourselves. Negotiate for what you deserve, not what you're currently earning.

I took advantage of the long weekend here to catch up on house work and studying. Hope you guys spend your Memorial (USA) well. Last week, I got a request from a reader from Nebraska who is attending Fashion week wanted me to do some style inspiration specific for Fashion week . These looks I put together mostly items that are high on my wishlist. I really love the ASOS tartan top and pants and they could also work worn together. I prefer to separate them and wear with black pieces for some added contrast.I just ordered the tartan pants, ASOS currently have extra 20% off everything with code HAPPYLABORDAY. So if you want something from there now would be the time to get it. Promotion ends tomorrow.

The General Remembers the Consummate Parandero
The passing of extraordinary Parandero, Paul Nabor, earlier this week continues to resonate across the country. His death has undoubtedly created a vacuum within the ranks of esteemed Belizean musicians. Those who have had the fortune of collaborating with Nabi in the past, sing his praises as a larger than life character both on and off the stage. While famed Punta Rock artist, Supa G, did not get a chance to record with Nabor; he has toured with him, performing before a capacity crowd in Los Angeles a few years ago. This morning, he reflected on a heart-to-heart he once had with the elder statesman of Garifuna music on their return from L.A.
Supa G, Belizean Artist
"I remember one time traveling from Los Angeles back to Belize, where we went to do a show there, myself, Mr. Nabor and the late great Andy and coming back, you know, they dropped off Nabor at the airport, you know, and the man told me, "Supa, ah wahn yo tek care ah dis man fi me. Ah wahn yo mek sure dat everything straight fi he, you know, heading back to Belize." I said definitely, da wah honor, you know. And we traveled back to Belize and prior to that, ah never had wahn conversation, ah neva sit and talk to him before. But pan dah trip dah then I saw wahn nother side ah dis man weh ah neva sih before because ah only sih ahn pan TV ahn ting and when we spoke, you know, dah wah man with wahn lotta energy, alotta life, a ve strong man. He wahn back guitar right through eena di airport, you know ah had to tell ahn, "Nabi, noh worry, ah wahn hold yo guitar fi yo." You know, that was an enjoyable trip, you know, he was a great, great man and I'm sure Belize has lost not only an icon and not only a Paranda artist but a very great person."
Isani Cayetano
"If you were to draw any influences from Paul Nabor in terms of your music and in terms of what you have to offer as a Belizean artist, what would that be?"
Supa G
"Definitely, the reason why I did some Paranda songs and I did a Paranda album that has not been released as yet is because of the Banda, Naguya Nei, you know. Dat da di song weh really mek I consider doing Paranda music, you know, di voice ah Mr. Nabor, you know. Da voice weh so distinct, yo could know that da Belize, you know, dat da di face ah Paranda music. So definitely my inspiration for Paranda music da Mr. Nabor."

Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines are a combination of live viruses which are administered in the form of injections. The live viruses are in an inactivated form and are unable to replicate in the human cells while the immune system produces a response and protects against the infection. The vaccine of MMR has a long term effect. Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) causes cough, fever, rash, headache and severe complications like inflammation of ovaries and testicles, deafness including death. To prevent birth defects due to rubella, pregnant women are vaccinated for MMR vaccines. The babies are given the first doses of Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) in 12-15 months and the second dose is given at 3-4 years. The virus replicates in the respiratory tract and is transmitted to others via respiratory secretions through aerosolized droplets in closed areas like schools and offices. The average appearance of the symptoms is 10-12 days after the infection, which is usually fever.

I requested a logo design for my holdings company. The first round of design wasn't up to par but this is also because I didn't provide enough information. After that I went on searching for some company logos that I like from Google then shared to them. There you go - perfect designs coming up! Really happy with their design and service!

As the festive period approaches I have been reflecting on how this time of year is significant for me. I love Christmas. The smell of pine mixed with mulled wine and mince pies, twinkling lights and people coming together to make magical memories.
However, it can also be a tricky time for people for many reasons. Not least because of the mass consumerism that seems to take over.
Black Friday
Black Friday has been coined as the official start of Christmas shopping — the day of can't-miss bargains that encourages us to shop for things that we don't really need or want. The biggest and most important retail shopping day of the year. However, in the midst of this frenzy it seems to me the reason we buy gifts seems to have been lost.
Black Friday Alternative
Personally, I see Christmas as an opportunity to buy a gift as a gesture to show my love and tenderness towards my nearest and dearest.
This thought process led me to come up with a meaningful alternative to Black Friday and rename it Friendship Friday.
Friendship Friday
So this year on Black Friday, November 23rd, rather than indulge in the discount shopping mayhem, choose a friendlier, more soulful alternative. I believe the true essence of Christmas time is love and I want to offer you an opportunity to win a hand embellished canvas of your choice and then share your good fortune with someone you love.
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one." -C.S. Lewis
Enter the Friday Friendship Giveaway
To enter simply sign up below. The winner will be chosen at random and emailed with the good news November 22nd. After choosing any print from my canvas collection you can then invite a loved one to do exactly the same.
Wishing you luck!
Love and blessings, as always,
Yvonne xx

"In fact, I dream of opening a school to train younger generations in all the different kinds of Indian handcrafts so that these tradition may stay alive."
"I come from a small village in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, and since there weren't any colleges there I had to move to Jaipur where I studied commerce and law. While in college I met Anil and we became good friends. After college he focused on preparing for the competitive civil service exams and I went into the family business. My father and uncle traded spare parts of diesel engines. Occasionally I would meet Anil and he would always tell me his desire to do something of his own.
"My father introduced me to Babulal Dosi, because he wanted me to do something different which would help me earn a respectable income. Since Babulal was already exporting arts and crafts, he told my father to open a shop for me and that I could take the products from his workshop.
"This was the best thing that has happened to me and I will remain forever grateful to him.
"We did exceedingly well and eventually I partnered with Anil and Mr. Babulal. There were, of course, some initial hitches but that never deterred me. I was confident that I would bounce back and of course we did. Slowly we started getting a lot of good inquiries and there was no turning back.
"We specialize in all kinds of furnishings and small furniture, and have presented our work in various exhibitions in India and abroad. We have a dedicated team of designers for each collection that will participate in an exhibition.
"We work with women artisans throughout Rajasthan who specialize in embroidery and recycled patchwork. This is a very proud moment for us, to be able to help artisans. They can do hand embroidery, mirror work and patch work and dori (cord) work.
"I am so glad to be where I am today. I would never do anything else. In fact, I dream of opening a school to train younger generations in all the different kinds of Indian handcrafts so that these tradition may stay alive."

As the political spotlight focuses on a debate in New Hampshire, polls are popping out left and right that show Cain is doing well. The latest is the Public Policy Polling poll of Iowa. Herman Cain 30%, Mitt Romney 22%, everyone else is in single digits. So he is where Rick Perry was a month ago. Mitt Romney is where he was a month ago. Romney's numbers are constant. Everyone else is on a roller coaster.
As for second choices, the race is Newt Gingrich 17%, Cain 16%, Rick Perry 12%, Romney 11%, Michele Bachmann 11%.
That is important because under the caucus rules, second choices matter. What this poll found was 3 months before the Iowa caucuses, Herman Cain is the first or second choice of 46% of potential caucus voters.
From PPP: "Despite that issue you have to think if Mitt Romney had been told six months ago that in October he would be 12 points clear of everyone other than Herman Cain in Iowa he would have taken it in a second. At this point Romney has to go all out to win Iowa- if he can win there and in New Hampshire, Florida, and Nevada where he's consistently done pretty well in the polls the race is over. He doesn't even have to worry that much about doing well in South Carolina. There may be some issues for Romney in Iowa with the base not liking him but the reality is they haven't persistently shown that they like anyone else either- the opening is there for him to take it."
Despite what you think of Mitt Romney…
I love it.
He is the castor oil of a Republican electorate that is looking for something sweeter.
Cain has the best favorables/unfavorables of anyone actually running. Iowa Republicans have him at 63%/17%.
Runner-up is Rick Santorum at 46%/17%.
Then comes Newt Gingrich 56%/32%.
Then comes Romney at 51%/36%.
There is a lot of Cain loving, but Mitt hangs in there.

text: Pompeo will also visit Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait on his Middle East tour [Reuters] Syria's Kurds will be protected from Turkish military threats, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Kurdish leaders in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region on Wednesday during an unannounced trip to Erbil. The top US diplomat earlier met Iraqi leaders in Baghdad as part of his Middle East trip to reassure allies about President Donald Trump's surprise plans to withdraw troops from Syria. In Iraq, Pompeo also sought to smooth over relations after political leaders were angered when President Trump visited US troops on the day after Christmas at a remote desert air base without stopping in Baghdad or meeting any Iraqi officials. Many politicians from the ruling coalition of mainly Shia parties called Trump's visit a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and demanded the US withdraw troops. Pompeo met Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, President Barham Salih, Foreign Minister Mohamed Alhakim and Parliament Speaker Mohamed al-Halbousi, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday. The US State Department did not immediately comment on reports of Pompeo's visit to Iraq. "This is an opportunity to express our gratitude for the support we have received from the United States over the years. Certainly in the war against ISIS [also known as ISIL] this has been most crucial," Salih told reporters on Tuesday. He added that although the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) had been defeated militarily, "there is a lot more to be done, the mission is yet to be accomplished". 181231152428686 On Tuesday, Mahdi, the prime minister, had declined to confirm rumours of a possible visit by Pompeo, but said any meeting with the US secretary of state would involve a discussion of how to deepen Iraq's relationship wiht the US-led coalition fighting ISIL. 'A serious mistake' For his part, Pompeo told a news conference in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Tuesday that the fight to defeat ISIL and Iran remained the most pressing issues in the region. The US forces have been working with a Kurdish militia, who control a swath of northeastern Syria, Washington's foothold in a conflict that has drawn in Russia, Iran, Turkey and other regional powers. Washington has repeatedly said its Kurdish allies will remain safe despite the withdrawal. But Turkey, which considers the US-backed Syrian Kurdish YPG militia a "terrorist" organisation, has repeatedly vowed to crush the group. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan denounced visiting US National Security Adviser John Bolton on Tuesday for suggesting that protecting the Kurds would be a pre-condition of the US withdrawal, a suggestion Erdogan called "a serious mistake". Asked in Erbil if Erdogan's pushback on the protection of the Kurds puts the withdrawal at risk, Pompeo told reporters: "No. We're having conversations with them even as we speak about how we will effectuate this in a way that protects our forces... "It's important that we do everything we can to make sure that those folks that fought with us are protected and Erdogan has made commitments, he understands that," Pompeo added. Countering Iranian influence The meeting comes as Pompeo is taking part in an eight-country tour of the Middle East. A major focus of the trip is sustaining a regional coalition to counter Iran, accused by Washington of sponsoring terrorism and the main enemy of US allies, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Pompeo is also expected to visit Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait. Al Jazeera's Imran Khan, reporting from the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, said Iran was likely to have been a topic of discussion at Wednesday's meeting in Baghdad. 181227185231544 "Top of the agenda for both the Americans and the Iraqis are two very different things. The first thing for the Iraqis will be clarification of the US role in the country itself," he said. "For the Americans, it's very much about the Iranian role within Iraqi society, both politically and militarily. They'll be seeking clarifications of what exactly Iran is up to here in Iraq. "Iraq has a sanctions waiver to do business with Iran [and] the Americans have long criticised that. They're the ones that gave [Iraq] the waiver, but they've been very critical of it as well," Khan said. The tour takes place amid confusion over conflicting statements by President Trump and senior US officials about the planned Syria troop withdrawal. The US Secretary of State has the task of explaining US policy in the region after Trump's announcement of the withdrawal of all 2,000 US troops from Syria, which rattled allies and came as a shock to top US officials. Defence Secretary Jim Mattis quit over it. Pompeo's comments come after US National Security Adviser left Turkey after he was snubbed by the Turkish president over his comments to protect Kurdish fighters in Syria.

December Shows vs. January Shows
Which show should I attend and why do you have two shows so close together??
Why can't we just do one show?
Over the course of the last few years, along with all other rep groups across the country, WWSRA has been slowly adding November/December shows onto our show schedule. And while to some the need and reasons for the addition of these shows are clear, to many it is not. The number one question we get here in the office is:
We are going to make an attempt to clear the question up for you and offer some advice on how to decide where you should show your brands as a rep and what shows you should attend as a retailer/buyer.
In the simplest of explanations it boils down to this:
Softgoods vs. Hardgoods
Early sampling & deadlines (BEFORE January 1) vs. later sampling & deadlines (AFTER January 1)
Softgood accessories vs. Hardgood accessories
"Outdoor" vs. "Snowsports"
The differing cycles of all categories that WWSRA covers
Most softgoods deadlines are BEFORE January 1 and all hardgood deadlines are AFTER January 1, regardless of when they are sampled. Most hardgood brands are not sampled in full until after January 1, particularly when it comes to ski hardgoods and accessories.
, this is a generalized statement, but accurate for most.
What is WWSRA doing and why?
As the national cycle (SIA/OR and now just OR) has worked to establish their timing for shows the regionals have been looked to and asked for solutions on a regional level that accommodate the incredibly close, yet diverse set of needs across the outdoor/snowsports/lifestyle industries. As rep associations we cover an enormous cross section of categories from skis, snowboards, camping tents, climbing gear, outerwear wear and apparel (etc.) to footwear, SUP's and skateboards (etc.).If a product exists in the outdoor, snowsports & active lifestyle space and sells to those style of retailers, they are a welcome part of our organization and we have all mutually benefited from that inclusiveness. And while we absolutely LOVE the diversity within our association, we are faced with the challenge of navigating all of the different needs and cycles.
It is our role, as your association to listen to our membership, asses everyone's needs and come up with solutions, options and more importantly opportunities for our membership to show their products on a cost effective, regional level, when and where it is needed.
Are the options and opportunities always going to work exactly for everyone, exactly when and where they need it?
But with over 1100 members, 2500 retailers spanning 6 regions, we are committed to finding the best solutions that we can to address the masses.
This year we are encouraging both reps & buyers to sign up for shows early so that you can all mutually asses your own individual needs in real time and with accurate data about who will be where and when.We will also be working with all of you to be flexible on our end to help you all get into the shows if circumstances change at the last minute.We are not miracle workers, but if you communicate openly with us we'll always do our best to make it work for you.
What can you do as sales reps & retailers??
Sales Reps
Talk to your manufacturers about sample ship dates, order deadlines, YOUR regional show dates and where they would like for you to exhibit.
Talk to your retailers about when you are ready to show vs. when they are ready to see you.
Talk to your reps, communicate with them what your needs are and be proactive in telling them what shows you would like for them to be at.
Bottom line?
The staff at WWSRA cannot tell you where you should exhibit, in addition to this as a member or retailer you ARE NOT REQUIRED to attend every show we produce. Nor can we tell an apparel rep that they HAVE to exhibit in mid-January, past their deadlines, any more than we can tell a hardgoods rep they HAVE to exhibit in early December before they have samples. We also can't make any assumptions about where specific reps & retailers will be. We can only loosely advise you all based on past experiences and what we are hearing/seeing within our industries.
We all need to be proactive, inquisitive and have the necessary conversations to help us all make the best possible decisions for our own unique businesses. Many, if not most of us, may have to exhibit in and attend multiple shows while everyone gets accustomed to our "new normal" and defines what works best for us individually. In particular if you cover multiple categories as a rep or a retailer. We also must be tolerant and understanding of those that differ from us in needs.
There are several ways to view this and while we know this is going to be challenging and exhausting for all, we challenge and encourage everyone to view multiple shows as an opportunity to be part of your community to experience something and someone that is new to you. The opportunities are endless if we are open to them.
February/March Shows
Our Northern Cal & Rock Mountain shows in Feb/March every year are two of our longest running shows and are very specific to ski hardgoods, accessories, resort wear and rental business. That said, they are open to all and we welcome any member/retailer that has business that falls within those timelines!
Summer Shows
If you have picked up any of Outdoor Retailers pieces on their future show dates or looked at the OR & GOA websites you will notice that they both jump around the June calendar for the next few years along with taking 2 full weeks out of play for regional shows. With the Memorial Day & 4
of July holidays sandwiching June as well it limits choices and forces the regionals to jump around as well. We are working diligently with our facilities and forecasting out as far as we can to try and secure dates, but along with all other shows we do we will need our exhibitors and retailers to remain flexible, understanding and communicative as we work through the next few years.
Our challenges as an industry are endless and evolving but we are committed to working with you all to find solutions.
We will always be here to talk, so never hesitate to reach out.

I know I'm not the first to use the phrase, but tonight's wine was really about a tale of two valleys. In the middle, the Mayacamas mountains. To the East, prestigious Napa Valley – home to the first wine grapes in Northern California, though that has been disputed for as long as there have been grapes here. To the West, Sonoma Valley. Not quite as prestigious, but a valley that can produce some wines that will rival the best in Napa Valley (at usually a lower cost). Which is better? We shall see.
The wines….
On the left – 2003 Spring Mountain Estate Cabernet. A blend of 76% Cabernet, 20% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. All Bordeaux grape varietals and they come together quite nice.
On the right – Arrowood Winery's 2003 Cabernet from Monte Rosso Vineyard. 100% Cabernet from a west-facing hillside in Sonoma Valley.
Okay. Two wines. Both Cabernet. Both from very good producers. What's the difference?
Vineyard: For starters, Sonoma is known for a slightly cooler climate than Napa, generally giving the grapes a longer hang time. However, in this case, Spring Mountain is an East facing site in Napa meaning that the intense afternoon sun is not directly on their vineyards. This also allows for a longer growing season. So, both vineyards will have good hang time. Soils are different for sure, but that's part of what makes a wine unique.
Oak: The Spring Mountain received 50% new oak barrels with the rest falling between 2-year-old and 4-year-old French oak barrels. The Arrowood received 80% French oak (about 30% new) and 20% American oak (mostly two and three years old. Will there be a difference? Sure. American oak (rougher grained) is known for imparting more oakey characteristics like toast, vanilla, licorice and chocolate. French oak (tighter grained) tends to be more subtle in imparting flavors. Although, a large percentage of new oak, no matter where it's from, will impart lots of oak tones. My opinion on these wines is that the oak is very well-integrated into the fruit profile lending to more nuance than overwhelming flavors.
Age: How old the wine is will definitely effect it's aromas and flavors. Both of these are 2003 vintage. So it is an equal comparison. 2003 was known for its elegance and softness, even for "big" wines like Cabernet.
Blend: The blending in of Merlot (to soften) and Petit Verdot (for color mostly) changes the presence and flavor of the Spring Mountain wine. The 100% Cabernet of the Arrowood wine lends itself to having a bolder presence, both on the nose and in the mouth for sure.
But do all these things make a wine better?
As usual, for me, it depends what's on the plate in front of me….
Tonight's cuisine: Pesto pasta with grated parmesan, Pale Ale and Orange marinated (and grilled) flank steak topped with marinated (same one as the steak) carmelized onions and fresh salad greens with heirloom tomatoes and an orange balsamic dressing. Yum!
So, which wine worked the best? I really liked the Spring Mountain with dinner. It just had a nice combination of fruit and spice that paired very well with the meal. The Arrowood Cab was a little too powerful for this particular meal. However, when sitting in my leather chair after the meal (that would be right now), the Arrowood really shines. Maybe it just pairs well with a glass!
The final verdict? I like them both. Go figure. It comes down to palate preference, I'm sure, but both wines were stunning. They had great smells and flavors, mouth coating textures and long finishes. They were different, for sure, but different does not equal better (or worse). I think you should have your own comparison and see what you come up with.

The Cowboys have been on a roll lately, not only have they gone 4 and 0 but they are also leading the NFL in points, and are second only to New England Patriots in points differential, this after a dismal showing of the Dallas Cowboys defense in game one where they gave up over thirty points to the NY Giants. Since then, however, the Dallas defense has only given up thirty points in the last three games, not including the 7 given up against the Rams last Sunday on a Special Teams play.
The sudden success in the first four games of the season has many believing the Cowboys will go undefeated until week 6 when they face the New England Patriots. The Buffalo Bills don't promise to bring much of a challenge against this high powered Dallas Cowboys offense, and while last week's game was to be the match up of the Dallas Defense against the Rams offense, this week will be the Bills Defense against a superior Dallas Offense. That's all on paper however, and as we all know the game isn't played on paper. The Cowboys still have to win the game at Buffalo, a series that Dallas owns a 4-3 advantage over the years in.
While it's too early to start worrying about the New England Patriots, the Cowboys can still do one thing in this week's match up to show they are ready for another high powered team. That is to score early. Right now the majority of the Cowboys success has come in the second half of games. While the Cowboys only average about 10 points in the first half of games they are averaging close to 30 points in the second half. If they can start playing the first half of games as well as they do the second half, it'll go a long way against better teams. That's not to take anything away from the Dallas Cowboys so far, but as Wade Phillips has said countless times so far this season, and even Bill Parcells last season, there is always room to improve. This is one way for the team to improve.

Seems like good quailty
Only complaint is that it wasn't flat on the block. I had to do quite a bit of bending on it to get it as close to flat as I could.Helpful (11)

Factory oil pan modification.
I have a 2001 Cobra with the factory Teksid. Like others have stated; modification to the pickup is necessary. I did find something possibly overlooked for my particular year cobra. In the front of the oil pan (the higher end) there are 2 factory and most likely useless crank scrapers that I had to modify to make the tray fit due to interference. I simply beat them down flat with autobody hammers on a flat vice after cutting them down the middle. GREAT PIECE FOR THE PRICE AND ALL THE NEW HARDWARE IS A MAJOR BONUS I THOUGHT!Helpful (12)

Canton Windage Tray
Good quality piece. A little cutting on the pick-up tube is required like AM states in the product description. You'll need two oil pan gaskets. One gasket between block/tray, and one gasket between tray/pan.Helpful (11)

Needed to modify
To install this i had to cut an extra slot in the tray so that i could fit properly. The spot i cut on the tray was for an ebb on the passenger side on the block. I hate it when after market products don't just bolt up, but modifying is the name of the game, so if ur game i recommend this product.Helpful (12)

Allow the oil to stay in bottom of oil pan, does not allow oil spray which causes power loss.
The canton louver wind age tray is a great addition to my car. My supercharger causes a lot on oil splashing which in the long run robs you of horsepower. The wind age tray allows for the oil to remain in the sump and not splash up into your crankshaft, causing a drag on the motor which in return robs you of horsepower. I want all my power to go to the rear wheels, and with this product I will accomplish this. Thank you.Helpful (15)
Differnce between this and the Moroso brand? Is this ok to use with the Moroso Oil Pan? Or should I use the Moroso Windage tray? Any differences?
This will fit with both aftermarket and stock oil pans. The differences will be in terms of materials used as well as the construction of the product but both will offer the same application.

OSWeekly wrote a nice article about Beryl, lots of the things they say about it are true, Beryl is beta, and if you a have a machine you really need to work, maybe it is not a good idea to install Beryl on it, also Beryl needs more hardware resource and can make your PC runs slower, I have a Petium Celeron with an INTEL integraded on the mother board video card, and this system runs both Fedora Core 6 (FC6) and Ubuntu Feisty, on both of them in installed beryl (as easy as yum install beryl-gnome or apt-get install beryl-gnome) of course turning on the appropiate reposotories in both cases, but I can see the lack of power in my hardware when I put it to run. It works better (at least for me) on Feisty that Fedora, On Fedora I usually miss the Title bar of the windows.
We all love all the effects that Beryl has, but we should take care on which machine we use it, we maybe will not loose our data, but we can loose some hours working to put our system back to work if something goes wrong.
A good advice could be to save a copy of your X configuration, and all the files to modify when installing Beryl, this way you can always go back, as I should have done when trying to install it on my ETCH at home, with a Pentium IV and an ATI X300 with ATI's drivers, I just could not make it work. :(, I only tried for two hours, and then go back again.
Ok, read the document that motivated me to write this post.

Canal construction played a significant role in the rise of industrial America opening up new markets, employing an army of workers, and initiating the ties between capital and government that remain important to this day. The work went forward using simple tools and the brute strength of men and animals, with diggers working twelve-hour days and suffering the ravages of disease and injury. In this highly acclaimed study, Peter Way challenges conventional views of the part these workers played in the early republic and of the culture they created.Increasingly made up of Irish immigrants, W...

On a cold night in late April 1865, on the mighty Mississippi River just north of Memphis, Tennessee, scores of unsuspecting souls suddenly found themselves desperately struggling for their lives after the boilers exploded on the riverboat steamer Sultana. The majority of the passengers had served their nation on Civil War battlefields and had spent time in the prison camps at Andersonville and Cahaba (Castle Morgan), and, now freed, were on their way home. Although more lives were lost in this incident than would be lost on the Titanic in 1912, these homeward bound veterans of war have been n... View more info

I know I have quoted these verses before...and I probably will again. They are worth repeating. Today I am continuing my quest to count three new gifts each day, things for which I am thankful....blessings that are fresh and new and perhaps unexpected. I am following the writing prompts of Ann Voskamp in her project "Count 1000 Gifts in 2012". See www.AnnVoskamp.com for more details and how you can become involved.
Today's prompt is to think of "3 Gifts Given". Perhaps this means that I am supposed to report 3 gifts that I have given. However, today I have received 3 gifts, and I would rather share that with you. It's really pretty amazing.
|Today in the mail I received this gift:
"One Thousand Gifts", written by Ann Voskamp.
It is a gift from one of my dear facebook friends...one whom I have never
met personally...but she saw that I was sharing these daily gifts, and she
wanted me to have this book...from the originator of the whole idea of
"Counting 1000 Gifts" in 2012! I can't wait to start reading it!!!
I did not ask for this gift...it was freely offered and sent....and I am in awe and mystified at the
thoughtfulness and generosity of this precious friend! I will tell you that she comes from a family of givers, at least
I can tell you her sister has the same kind heart...for she blessed me with a wonderful gift a couple of years ago...again, totally unexpected and without expectation of receiving anything from me. (Click on this link for more about that story) I pray that God will give me the opportunity to meet these two sisters one day in person and be able to give them big hugs. I am always amazed when a total stranger (except for our friendship on Facebook) reaches out and blesses another just because...
My 2nd gift "given" today was another total surprise! This time from the Federal Government! Now THAT'S a GIFT! When the Feds send you something totally unexpected...(and I still don't know where it came from or why I received it)...that's a miracle! When I went to my mailbox today I was blessed with these two gifts:
The book previously mentioned, and a CHECK from the Dept. of Treasury! Totally unexpected! WOW!! I still don't know why I received it...but I'm thankful no matter why!!!
God knew I needed it...and He saw to it that I received it. Yes, In God We DO Trust!!!
Now, for my Gift's Given #3:
I didn't receive these today, but very recently. My sweet #1 son is a gifted carpenter. Now that the weather is cooling down some (and his day job has cut back his hours a little) he has started working in his workshop again. He has heard me complaining that the doves have taken over my birdfeeder...sometimes there are 6 or 8 doves on there at once, hogging all the birdseed and keeping the smaller birds from being able to land on the feeder to get their share. It's not that I don't want the doves to eat, I just want them to get back on the ground where they belong! Doves are supposed to be ground-feeders. SO, my son is experimenting with a couple of smaller designs of bird feeders, with the idea that hopefully the doves cannot land on them so easily and the other birds will have a chance. I didn't get a picture of them with the birds on them, but so far the doves are still somehow managing to land and eat...only not quite as many at a time.
