TEN THINGS ABOUT BRYAN McCLENDON . . .
ATHENS – If you've been the running backs coach at Georgia for the last few years, you're permitted to be a little frustrated at this point. But Bryan McClendon, who has held that position for the Bulldogs since 2009, insists he is not.
McClendon has weathered the storms that came with having Isaiah Crowell, Washaun Ealey and Caleb King under his supervision. But he insists he's neither beaten down nor disillusioned by their tumultuous tenures in Georgia's backfield. He chooses instead to focus on the positives he believes remain for the future.
"I tell people all the time, we've met our quota for headlines," McClendon said with a laugh. "Hopefully anything else that is written about us will be in a positive regard. You do everything you can to stay in front of those guys and make that they understand the ramifications of any decision that make. They have to understand the scale that they're on. You're a tailback at the University of Georgia and that means something and they've got to understand that. We've still got some guys here that do."
With Crowell's dismissal on June 29, Georgia is now down to a redshirt sophomore, two true freshmen and a pair of former walkons at tailback. McClendon sat down with the AJC recently for an interview to continue our series profiling the Bulldogs' assistant coaches.
1. Has had more than share of turmoil at tailback.
Since taking over as Georgia's running backs coach for the 2009 season, McClendon has had five different tailbacks transfer or be dismissed for various reason in Dontavius Jackson, Washaun Ealey, Caleb King, Carlton Thomas and Crowell.
"It drives you crazy," McClendon said. "They're 18-year-old kids and anybody who has had an 18-year-old knows what that means. They look like men when they get here but they're really just kids. So you've got to be kind of like a counselor. You're not their buddy; you've got to be an authority over them. But they've got to know you care about them and they've got to know your love for them is not based on what they do on the field."
2. Expert at breaking in young backs.
As a result of all the attrition, for the third time in four seasons McClendon is getting a true freshman ready to play. Georgia signed two highly-touted prospects out of North Carolina in Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley.
"You have to look at things they already know and do that will transfer over well," McClendon said. "The hardest thing about coaching young backs if you have to get them playing well without the ball. With the ball, a lot of things transfer over. Without the ball is where you win or lose ballgames. So you have to make sure they know what they're doing and work with them."
3. He prefers using multiple backs
McClendon believes you can never recruit enough talented tailbacks, and it goes beyond their ability to stay out of trouble off the field.
" I have not seen one guy carry the load in this league yet, not since Herschel and Bo Jackson were playing," McClendon said. "The one guy who came close to doing it was Marcus Lattimore and he hasn't lasted a full season yet, and he's a great player. You need more than one guy so they can take the load off each other and stay fresh. It definitely keeps you healthier."
4. A Bulldog by birth
McClendon's father, Willie, was an All-SEC running back at Georgia in the late 1970s and also coached running backs for the Bulldogs. So Georgia football has been a part of McClendon's life for as long as he can remember. McClendon's first recollection was attending a Georgia game when he was about 4 years old.
"My dad wanted everybody to sit in the stands because he had never sat in the stands at a Georgia game before," McClendon said. "This was before he coached, right around when he had just finished up playing football in the NFL. I remember him teaching us the, 'Go Dawgs, sic 'em' cheer. I don't remember anything about that day, but I remember that."
5. Being the son of a famous Bulldog
Bryan's father is still considered one of Georgia's greatest running backs of all time. Willie rushed for 1,312 yards and 13 touchdowns in 1978 and went on to play in the NFL. But Bryan had no idea his father was famous until the family moved to Athens in 1989 and Willie joined the staff of former UGA coach Ray Goff.
"I was old enough then to notice that people treated him differently," Bryan said. "We would walk into a place and people would walk up and ask for his autograph and tell him they enjoyed watching him play stuff like that. My Dad has always been very humble. He never boasted one word about what he's done our how good he was when he played."
6. Everybody's little brother
McClendon is the middle of three sons, all of whom played football. Big brother Brandon played at Georgia Southern and little brother Brent McClendon is currently a cornerback at Georgia State.
But growing up as the son of the Georgia running backs coach, Bryan felt like he had a bunch of big brothers. He talks about of wrestling with Rodney Hampton and Garrison Hearst and playing video games with Terrell Davis, Mack Strong and Larry Ware. He would play with them on UGA's Woodruff Practice Fields and his father would have them over to the house for meals occasionally.
"I was everybody's little brother," he said. "I was always running and jumping on Garrison Hearst and playing video games and stuff with those guys. I had a lot of fun with them.That was obviously a an impressive group of guys my Dad he brought in and he coached them up well.
7. Always planned on following in father's footsteps
A lot of coaches' sons want to do something different when they grow up. McClendon can't imagine himself doing anything else.
"I always knew I wanted to be a coach and I approached the game that way," said McClendon, who played wide receiver at Georgia. "I always wanted to know the 'why' about things when I was playing. Coach [John] Eason used to say I watched as much film as he did. I tried to figure out how the defense was trying to attack us and understand the reasons behind the. But I always knew wanted to be a coach at any level. Obviously I love being back here because Georgia runs through my veins."
8. He briefly considered with a law career
For a brief time after his seven-week NFL career, McClendon thought about going to law school and possibly becoming a sports agent. In fact, he worked at a malpractice lawfirm in Atlanta to learn the ropes. It was the first job he held that was conducted in an office s
"That was my first real job," McClendon said. "They taught me how to do things and how go about things in an office setting. But it drove me crazy. I'd get up from my desk every day at 2:30 and go outside to walk a lap around building. I had to get out of there. I just couldn't see how people did that all day. Once I got my lap, I'd come back in and I could finish my day. It was definitely not for me."
9. Known his wife most of his life
McClendon and his wife Amber actually have known each other since attending Young Middle School and Mays High School in Southwest Atlanta. But they didn't actually date until after McClendon was attending Georgia on a football scholarship. Amber graduated from Clark Atlanta College and got a masters in social work at UGA. They married on Sept. 2, 2006.
"I was with the Chicago Bears," McClendon said. "We had just found out I made the team. I was probably the 53rd out of the 53 guys that made the team. I had to go ask the Coach Lovie [Smith] if I could have the weekend off to get married. I flew into Atlanta on Friday, we got married on Saturday and Sunday I had to be back up there. We had to play Green Bay."
10. A father to "Bam-Bam" and Brooke
Like every other Georgia coach, McClendon has to juggle the responsibilities of being a husband and father with the demands of being a coach. He has a 5-year-old boy, Bryan, who goes by "Bam-Bam" and a little girl named Brooke, born this past December. That's even more challenging with a working wife. Amber is a program supervisor at the Athens' non-profit Families 4 Change.
"It's not easy," McClendon said. "Right now it's just us and we're making it work. We have to utilize daycare and school and things like that. But Amber gets the trophy. I don't know how she does it and looks as good as she does. When I'm with them they beat me down. They wear Daddy out."

Dawgs have had their share of bust at RB the last 3-4 years. We are due. I'm hoping these two young men from N. Carolina are the real deal, talent wise and good citizen wise.

Man, we've lost our best 2 running backs, both of the last 2 seasons. We lost Ealey & King in 2011, and then Thomas & Crowell in 2012.
King should have been given more tutoring help for his academic challenges, this was preventable. Crowell is the only one who everything was tried, and Crowell couldn't stay out of legal trouble.
Thomas & Ealey left because they didn't feel they were getting as many reps as they'd earned on the field. Both transfers could have been prevented with a more fair distribution of reps for these 2 top producers who earned more reps than the rest. Ealey ran for over 6 yards carry and over 1000 yards this year with his new school and willbe going 1st round in the NFL draft next year, we really let a great back slip away due to McClenson's non-merit based rotation philosophy. Thomas got over 8 yards per carry against Auburn compared to Crowell's 5 ypc, yet Crowell for 75% more carries in that game. And 2.9 yards per carry back Samuel, got more carries, than 4.95 yards per carry Thomas. No wonder Thomas transferred.
I've always felt UGA doesn't really look for running backs, it's more like tight ends back there, I thought when Figgins was converted from tight end to fullback, and only got a few pass receptions all season, it showed me what McClendon and Bobo and Richt want, is passblocker tight end types to block for Murray, they don't really want guys who run for 5+ ypc, and score a lot of td's, as evidenced by the way that Ealey and Thomas were rotated.
I remember when Ealey was outproducing King 5 to 1 in td's, and McClendon was rotating them??? Same for Thomas' 4.95 yards per carry vs. Samuel's 2.9 ypc????
Richt's best seasons at UGA where when we went with a 1 back system, Moreno in 2007.
richt's record is 44-4 when he gets A 100 YARD RUSHER, but McClendon rotate great backs, with horrible backs, so no one ever gets 100 yards, and the run game struggles.
Rush game has finished 7th-12th in the SEC the last 4 years.
July 23rd, 2012
6:19 pm
I would just recruit tight ends or linebackers, and convert them to running back, using the "you'll get more playing time" excuse. I know McClendon's already done that with Samuel and Figgins, but he needs to just recruit 2 extra tight ends, and 2 extra linebackers, since 3 or 4 will end up as "running backs" anyways. Let's face it, McClendon wants passblockers, not running backs.
July 23rd, 2012
6:24 pm
A lot of praises in the comments above….but doesn't excuse passing over other RB's who would have loved to come to UGA and worked their tails off DJ Adams, went to Maryland, Josh Clemons, went to KY and lead them in rushing last year (his dad played for UGA) and possibly, Ty Dye, who just committed to Clemson…..until UGA wins a NC, I will not give these (staff) guys a pass….too much in-state talent being missed on and plenty of talent in the surrounding areas to supplement the recruiting…..sorry, but I've heard about lazy recruiting practices by UGA from local H/S Coaches!! C'mon Guys do your job!!!
July 23rd, 2012
6:26 pm
Bama, LSU, and Florida are pumping out 5+ to 7+ yard per carry backs, McClendon is not.
Alabama had 3 backs get over 6 yards per carry
LSU had 3 get over 5.5 ypc
Florida had 2 get over 5.3 ypc
July 23rd, 2012
6:27 pm
Still wouldn't hurt for him to have a man to man talk with these "characters' he's coaching.
July 23rd, 2012
6:33 pm
McClendon is part of the problem. He has no clue what he is doing, and none of the backs he has coached ever got better from year to year. They all get worse, and McClendon is just another assistant coach Richt has hired that has been a total failure. But i guess that is what you get when you hire a coach that played W.R.in college and make him your running backs coach. Here's a clue as to what a wonderful coach he is. How many teams have come after him and tried to hire him away from UGA. The answer is ZERO!! Just like all the other coaches on UGA's staff with the exception of Grantham. The sign of a good head coach is how many assistant coaches under him get hired by other teams, and how many of them become successful in the coaching profession. After 12 seasons, only one has been a semi success, that would be VanGorder. But can't really say being a D.C.at Auburn would be considered a success. Richt and his coaches are the problem at UGA, they have proven over and over again that they can't coach against top tier SEC coaching staffs. They can't make adjustments during the games, and they can't design an effective game plan prior to the game. This staff gets embarrassed and out coached by ever ranked team they play against, yet there are no changes by the biggest problem of all, Richt.
July 23rd, 2012
6:33 pm
If a RB at UGA can keep his nose clean, attend all practices and team meetings, AND run the ball more than 2 times in a row before raising his hand for a replacement, I expect he could get plenty of carries in games, even with this coaching staff.
See: Knowshon Moreno.
July 23rd, 2012
6:49 pm
whoever said Ealey is a first round draft pic is on some good dope
July 23rd, 2012
6:51 pm
All the other backs got hurt in 2007, that's why Moreno got 250 carries, didn't go with best back in 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011, 2007 was just due to a rash of injuries, but, it resulted in Richt's best season at UGA, finished #2 in nation.
July 23rd, 2012
7:01 pm
I like the way Alabama, LSU and Florida do things, if you can either score or get a high yards per carry average, you'll get tons of reps.
Passblocking is a plus, but not the key thing these teams look for in a RUNNING BACK.
If you want passblockers, convert offensive linemen to running back.
But if you want RUNNING BACKS, REWARD them for productivity with MORE CARRIES.
Too bad McClendon doesn't run a meritocracy. That's why the top producers keep transferring out.
July 23rd, 2012
7:05 pm
Knowshon wasn't the "best back" in '08?
Since him, it's been a crap shoot – with at least 4 backs showing great potential, only to get in trouble (suspension) or injured for games at a time.
July 23rd, 2012

Bryan is also the grandson of the late Alonzo Crim who once headed the Atlanta School Board.
July 23rd, 2012

What Running back coming out of High School would not want to enjoy the College experience and know when it was over they'd be ready to play in the NFL. Bryans bleeds Red& Black and is going to be at UGA for a long time.Start lining up class of '13 & '14.
July 23rd, 2012
7:15 pm
Herschel got 1000 carries. He didn't get injured enough to miss a game.
In 1980, Herschel Walker got 1000+ yards. Dooley finished #1.
In 2002, Musa got 1000 yards, Richt finished #2.
In 2007, Moreno got 1000 yards, Richt finished #2.
Feed your best back.
Quit living in fear of injury.
Get some courage.
July 23rd, 2012
7:22 pm
What's the best way to learn to passblock?
Rotate with 5 guys, or get all the reps?
July 23rd, 2012
7:25 pm
McClendon isn't calling any plays! If you have a problem with the ypc's of the rb, you need to talk the the real boob on the staff. HIS NAME IS MIKE BOBO! Everyone knows most great rb's get most of their yards in the 4th quarter when they are either milking the clock or going on a long drive to win. Now, if you can't recall UGA in these situations in recent memory, THAT AIN'T THE RB COACH FAULT!
July 23rd, 2012
7:54 pm
Good article. It appears that Bryan has already won with a strong family unit.
July 23rd, 2012

Neither. The best (only) way to learn to pass protect is running drills during the week.

Lighten up McDawg LOL. UGA will do the best they can do I assure you. Guys will come or they wont. Personally I think the OL will be great in 2013 with a couple more recuits and a JUCO or 2. Some Penn ST linemen and recruits might want to SERIOUSLY look at UGA too. A couple on the roster could come in and play immediately. Gotta go somewhere, might as well come here. You know?! Im sure we are all over that. Maybe we will get one or 2… We certainly got scholarships available many top teams dont have immediately available….

You have to be kidding me that the AJC would waste time, money, and talent on wrting about a coach who is about on his last leg. What a joke!
July 23rd, 2012
9:36 pm
Love the fact that he is a true Georgia Bulldog, but he needs to find a way to be more of a presence in the lives of his position players. Make them think about you before they go out and act up, make them think of the consequences before they even think about making a stupid decision, sit them down and lay the law down before they even get the opportunity to screw up. I have no doubt that he has probably done these things to an extent, but he needs to sink his teeth in and get these kids to understand their futures are at stake and not to waste it on a Friday night mistake.
July 23rd, 2012
9:43 pm
You are soooooooo correct. CJ is a total knucklehead and doesn't have the slightest clue as to what he is talking about. I especially liked his observation that UGa doesn't recruit running backs. I guess getting the #1 TB in the country the past 2 years is a sign of not recruiting running backs!!!
July 23rd, 2012
9:55 pm
I think we have a new breed of TBs at UGa. Samuel is an incredible guy who is an "A" student. KM has a 4.3 GPA and 4.25 forty. Hopefully these guys along with Gurley and Boo will turn around our TB woes. NOTE: all of the troublemakers like Caleb, IC, etc. were very poor students and barely qualified academically. The new guys literally have double the GPAs of the meatheads. I like what I'm seeing with the new talent. GO Dawgs!!!
July 23rd, 2012
10:56 pm
Did Crowell ever learn how to block or any of the plays?
Perhaps having a former mediocre WR as the runningbacks coach is not the best idea???
Why does a program like UGA have such a huge problem with getting better coaches?
July 24th, 2012
1:33 am
With all due respect, being a tailback at Georgia USED to mean something. I think the magic has worn off since 2009. What's the coaching staff going to do about it? You guys are using up a lot of good will.

How about hiring a real RB and WR Coach. Loyalty to former players is great, if they can get the job done. I personally think that Hines Ward would make a great WR Coach and recruiter and for a RB Coach, CMR needs to hire one. Offense should be more stable and it is not and that stems from lack of a qualified OC and the rest of the O staff. the only solid piece is the TE Coach and he is slacking on bringing in another TE for the 2013 class. Some SEC schools have garnered two commits from top TE and UGA has none. With at least 33 scholorships available the talent level should be higher and stop settling for mediocre players. USC only has 15 schollys available and look at the talent they are bringing in. That comes from having solid recruiters and a very capable coaching staff.

I actually have to agree with CJ on this. It has to be a coach that teaches RB's "at any moment you feel the slightest bit of pain tap you head and sprint off the field" . All that does is enable weakness!! Lead by example, act tough and they will be tough!

I have a question toanyone out there. Why is there not more former Dawg players coaching for Richt? There are a few in coaching and doing quiet well but not for the UGA. I like McClendons RED and Black loyalty. Once a Dawg always a Dawg. This is something some players dont understand. If you conduct yourself with prideand loyalty to UGA ,their fan base(true fans) will always be loyal to you

The UGA problems are common to all programs and society in general. UGA has higher standards so the bad actors are going to stand out that much further. And, perception wise, UGA gets a lot of help from the AJC. If the bloggers on here are so unhappy with the program, coaches and the administration, they probably should find another team to root for.

CJ: You're an idiot (in addition to your clearly ignorant comments about coaching, the Bulldogs, running backs, etc. you think King should have been given more academic help?? Do you have any idea how much assistance is available, and even mandatory, for these guys? What do you want them to do? Go to class for him, take his tests, write his papers? I Know it Hurts: Why do you think we care? Dawg Dawg Dawg: Why are you wasting time just repeating verbatim what someone else already said? Butter Bean: I can't even understand you; clearly you did not attend UGA. We have a good team and a good staff, now unless you have something constructive and interesting to say, shut the h*ll up, go back to your video games, and let them do their jobs.

Research Fellow Stephen P. Halbrook, author of Gun Control in the Third Reich: Disarming the Jews and Enemies of the State appeared on Freedom & Prosperity radio to talk about his latest book.

The Nazi party was able to consolidate power using the gun registration records of the Weimar republic.

Neupro Patient Information Including Side Effects
Brand Names: Neupro
Generic Name: rotigotine (transdermal) (Pronunciation: roe TIG oh teen)
- What is rotigotine (Neupro)?
- What are the possible side effects of rotigotine (Neupro)?
- What is the most important information I should know about rotigotine (Neupro)?
- What should I discuss with my health care provider before using rotigotine (Neupro)?

What is rotigotine (Neupro)?
Rotigotine has some of the same effects as a chemical called dopamine, which occurs naturally in your body. Low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with Parkinson's disease.
Rotigotine is used to treat early signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Rotigotine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Rotigotine skin patches were withdrawn from the U.S. market in April 2008.
What are the possible side effects of rotigotine (Neupro)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even after feeling alert;
- nausea, sweating, feeling light-headed, fainting;
- breathing problems;
- severe headache, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, chest pain, numbness, seizure;
- hallucinations;
- swelling in your hands or feet; or
- restless muscle movements in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck.
Less serious side effects may include:
- weight gain;
- swelling, redness, or itching where the patch was applied.
- urinating more than usual;
- runny nose;
- diarrhea, loss of appetite;
- feeling dizzy, tired, or weak;
- mild drowsiness or sleepiness;
- headache;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- blurred vision; or
- swelling in your hands or feet.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Neupro (rotigotine transdermal system) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about rotigotine (Neupro)?
Rotigotine skin patches were withdrawn from the U.S. market in April 2008.
Do not stop using rotigotine without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop using the patches completely. Stopping suddenly can cause fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, and fast or uneven heartbeats.
Rotigotine may cause you to fall asleep during normal daytime activities such as working, talking, eating, or driving. You may fall asleep suddenly, even after feeling alert. Tell your doctor if you have any problems with daytime sleepiness or drowsiness. If you are unsure of how this medicine will affect you, be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
Call your doctor at once if you have serious side effects such as extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, breathing problems, severe or sudden headache, hallucinations, chest pain, swelling, fainting, or restless muscle movements in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck.
You may have increased sexual urges, intense or unusual urges to gamble, or other intense urges while taking rotigotine. Talk with your doctor if you believe you have any intense or unusual urges while you are using rotigotine.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
The rotigotine transdermal patch may burn your skin if you wear the patch during an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Remove the patch before undergoing such a test.

Among other annual signs of spring is the surge in the number of commercial wine competitions around the country.
They've been under way since January, true, but between now and the start of summer no fewer than seven will be in California alone. Some are large and some are small, and none is smaller than the Fiddletown Wine Competition in Amador County.
The Fiddletown roundup generally draws around 20 wines and involves just four or five judges, and its results don't generate much in the way of attention in the wine media. Its scope, focus and intimacy, however, not only are instructive but provide a sensible model that I suspect will become more emulated in time.
Up to now, wine competitions almost without exception have attempted to grow in the number of entries they attract each year, with a handful of them vying to lay claim to being the nation's or the world's largest.
The Fiddletown judging would like to grow, too, but it has no aspirations to compete in the number of entries with even the nearby Amador County Fair, itself hardly large.
The Fiddletown competition is strictly for wines from within the Fiddletown appellation, which is tiny and not expected to grow appreciably anytime soon. Indeed, it almost always will be small. Therein lies its allure and authority.
Twenty wines tasted over a few hours gives judges plenty of time to evaluate and discuss their merits and drawbacks, a luxury larger competitions can't usually offer. Judges at Fiddletown need not fear palate fatigue, also a very real concern at larger competitions.
Most important, the judges at Fiddletown ponder the wines within an important context: terroir, or place.
All the wines are from within an enclave whose boundaries were drawn up in the belief that its topo- graphy, climate and culture added up to grapes and wines somehow distinctive as a group from wines in other nearby appellations, such as Shenandoah Valley and Fair Play.
This notion of basing a wine competition on regional identity isn't novel, but the sense it makes looks to be expanding in appeal to even much larger judgings. Thus, even some international competitions that get thousands of entries have begun to restructure themselves to base the evaluation of wines by place of origin as well as by the more traditional standards of varietal and style.
I've sat on panels, for example, for which all the petite sirahs were divided and judged by appellation, such as Russian River Valley for one group, Lodi for another, and where all the wines were from Napa Valley, though arranged by cabernet sauvignon, zinfandel and the like.
That latter strategy is the approach of the Fiddletown Wine Competition, the latest edition of which was last fall at Helwig Winery in Amador County's Shenandoah Valley, just a strong toss of a grape stake from neighboring Fiddletown.
I did say that Fiddletown was small, didn't I?
At that time, two of the five zinfandels in the competition were awarded gold medals, and one of them actually was a double-gold medal, meaning that all four judges agreed that the wine deserved gold (most gold-medal wines at any competition involve a split vote). That wine was the Sobon Estate 2009 Fiddletown Lubenko Vineyard Zinfandel.
The Fiddletown appellation long has been recognized for producing unusually fresh and lithe zinfandels, zesty with juicy raspberry fruit, racy acidity and peppery spice. The Sobon fit that profile, but with a ripeness and richness that threatened to break the mold. The wine's spiciness included suggestions of cinnamon as well as black pepper, and its tannins, while firm, were easily manageable. Though the wine packs 15.2 percent alcohol, it tasted neither hot nor awkward.
As if to reaffirm the wine's combination of authority and restraint, it went from a double-gold at the Fiddletown Wine Competition in October to best in its class at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition in January. At the Chronicle competition, the Sobon was in a class defined not by region and varietal but by price and varietal. It was in the group priced $20 to $24.99. So were 97 other zinfandels. Of the 98, just seven were awarded gold medals. From that field, the Sobon was our panel's unanimous choice for best-of-class.
In the sweepstakes round, the Sobon zinfandel was up against 51 other wines for best red, including eight other zinfandels. My notes from the competition indicate that the Sobon lost none of its allure between October and January, and still stood out for its rare combination of richness and vibrancy, the persistence of its finish, and its classic zinfandel structuring, which is to say that while it is a husky wine it isn't overwrought, maintaining equilibrium as well as freshness.
My notes from the sweepstakes round at the Chronicle competition say the wine suggests in its sunny richness the finer zinfandels of the Sierra foothills, but I didn't peg it to Fiddletown. I need to mention here that both the Fiddletown and Chronicle competitions were "blind," meaning that judges didn't know the identities of the producers, which were revealed only afterward.
The grapes that went into the Sobon zinfandel were from the historic head-trained vines of Lubenko Vineyard, which dates from around 1910. The Sobons started to make a zinfandel from Lubenko in 1983, and six years later bought the vineyard itself to assure themselves of fruit from the cherished plot. ("Lubenko Vineyard" is declared only on the back label, with "Fiddletown" on the front.)
The family winemaker, Paul Sobon, credits the prettiness and sturdiness of the zinfandel to the 2009 growing year, which yielded "perfect ripening," he said. He blended in 6 percent petite sirah and aged the wine in a combination of American and Hungarian oak barrels, 40 percent of which were new.
Whether the wine continues to show exceptionally well in upcoming competitions remains to be seen, but it is selling so briskly that there may not be any left to enter.
Sobon Estate
2009 Fiddletown Lubenko Vineyard Zinfandel
By the numbers: 15.2 percent alcohol, 1,852 cases, $22
Context: Paul Sobon recommends the wine with either a traditional or vegetarian chili that isn't too assertively seasoned; also pastas and beef. "Had it with lamb shank the other day wow!" he added.
Availability: The wine is sold at Total Wine & More and Nugget Markets, and is poured by the glass at the restaurant Grange in the Citizen Hotel.
More information: Visit the winery's website www.sobonwine.com or its tasting room, 14430 Shenandoah Road, Plymouth, open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily.

Wicked Lasers Pulsar And Fusion Quick Review Impressions
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Misc. Tech
Not sure if you noticed, but the guys over at Wicked Lasers are on a mega advertising spree across the Interweb right now. Almost everywhere I look - including our own AdSense ads - I am seeing Wicked Lasers. Recently, we hooked up with them and got our hands on a couple of their lasers. We wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Turns out, these things are, um, wicked cool. We shot some video of us playing with the lasers, which will be featured in an upcoming episode of The Bleeding Edge. For now, know that we were able to successfully burn letters into plastic bags by using the lasers to melt the plastic, and that is just the beginning of some of the fun we had with these things.
The two lasers we have in our possession are the 100mW red colored Pulsar, along with the 125mW green Fusion. Believe it or not, the green laser can go 50 miles. We have a bunch more images of these two products, which you can check out after the jump.

These lasers are frickin' sick!!!. My friend got the green one, and its like crazy cool. So u can burn plastic with these?? Wouldnt doubt it actually.
Yeah these are damn cool. I don't have a "wicked laser" but do have a green laser I got a few years back that is pretty damn cool. Green is way brighter than the red lasers and just looks cooler.
But these wicked lasers are powerful and actually dangerous so don't think of them as toys. They can burn dark (black) plastic such as electrical tape and you can only imagine what they can do to your eyes if you shine it at yourself, or others.
They are pretty expensive as well which is probably a good thing…hopefully it will keep them out of the hands of kids and such heheh.
Very cool but not toys
Where's the fun in complying to laws?
Looks like people either love or hate wicked.
I don't have an opinion, i just know their prices are more expensive than www.dragonlasers.com where i bought my last laser pointer, an awesome 125mW
Hi, I live in Europe and want to buy a powerfull laser. I need some online shop that can ship to Europe also
I live in Europe myself, Wickedlasers have been shipped to my house with no problem at all. Your lasers are shipped for $18.99, and there are no other import taxes of any kind, they also get passed customs very easily. I've been very happy with my laser pointer, and I would buy more from them.

"I love my business cards and am about to reorder another 300 with matching thank you cards as well. Every time I hand one out people comment on the perfect size, square format and lovely bright colours (I have the all pink colour way). Also, the card is thick and feels great. My only concern is that on the back side where the information is about 10-15% of the cards are cut too high (as in text is only 1mm or less from the bottom edge) but considering the ease and good price I was still happy with it all. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"I really love the design of this card! It has such pretty colors with just the right amount of text. The colors are catchy yet calming. I am very happy with these cards!"
"These are so adorable in person!! I loved all of the customization available to truly make it my own! I'm so excited to start passing these out!!"
"I loved the way my business cards came out. Unfortunately, the ones that were reprinted was an older version of the business cards. Any way I can get the newer version reprinted again? LMK next steps. Look forward to hearing from you soon, Melissa"
"The clean lines of the card's design, the sharpness of the lettering nd font used, the quality of the pearlized paper board stock, and the dimensions of the card all work extremely well together to make a superb card. Absolutely thrilled with it and will certainly order more and also a new design from tinyprints in the future."

Mommy had told me I wasn't just weird, or strange. I was an abomination, an unnatural little thing that she could no longer call her daughter.
That was the day she sent me to the asylum.
It was a dark and scary place, it smelled like soiled garments and sweaty bodies. You could never get any sleep at night, not only was there screaming and fighting, every once in a while
someone would escape the straps that held them to their bad and run through the
building, stopping in random rooms. At least once a week you would wake up with
an escapee leaning over you breathing deeply.
I stayed there, waiting for my mom to realize that she still loved me, and it wasn't my fault that I was… a little strange. But my sixth birthday passed, then my seventh, I began to give up hope
and I began to feel the effects of being in a dark hole your entire life.

Dutton, 1991 - Social Science - 249 pages
The riveting true story of the college professor who brought a ruthless cocaine kingpin to justice, told by the bestselling author of A Cast of Killers. Professor Richard Novak was in the Bahamas studying hammerhead sharks when the Medellin Cartel moved in and set up the nerve center of the world's largest drug operation. When officials refused to act, Novak used his underwater expertise to gather evidence, eventually leading to the cartel's downfall. 16 pages of photographs.

It's the middle of the year, I happened to be in China and I decided to go through some of the stuff we had in-house and run them through their paces. Sure, I had to rip open a couple of shrink wraps and basically operate some of the otherwise brand new equipment, which of course the boss didn't like. But I told him to take it off my next paycheck so I'd literally own the stuff and he let me off the hook. In short, I actually spent my own money to come up with this Top 5 List, so you can bet that I'd bet my ass that the products I'm including are definitely worth the money.
And here's something you should know, as well, of the 5 items I'm putting on the list, only 2 of them are included in the items I purchased. The other 2 are items that they actually use around the office and I was given permission by their respective owners to try them out for the sake of coming up with a more complete overview of the strengths of each product. That should pretty much give you insight into the fact that I didn't really try out the entire product range, so there may be some better products in the catalog that I wasn't able to try out. I was able to rip open 10 boxes of electronics before my boss stopped me, that's a few thousand short of all the devices we offer, but I was able to enlist the help of one of the more senior staff who's job it is to visit manufacturers to try out their new equipment and see if they are worth adding to our catalog and he provided the insight I needed on the other electronics and helped me narrow down my list.
All-in-all I reviewed some 30 times and whittled the list down to 5. I would have otherwise gone for 10, but since I really wasn't able to review a majority of the stock, I'll leave the other 5 to when I've had a few more visits to the office by the end of the year maybe. I'll also cite a few items that were not included on the list, but are still worth mentioning. Most of the 30 items I was able to review were of outstanding quality, however, there were of course items that didn't tickle my fancy. Here's the 5 items that really did, and a brief description as to why:
5. Miseal iCube Portable Projector
This is one of the gadgets I reviewed that the office actually uses and has been using for about 2 years now. Despite being obsolete on many mainstream online stores, the iCube still scores a spot on my list for being the true king of mini LED projectors. It produces a picture that's bright enough to be used in a typical office environment without turning off the lights.
It also comes with a few very interesting additional features. Like the fact that it has its own 1GB of internal memory and an external SD card slot that can support up to 4GB of additional memory. That memory can be allocated to storing movies, music, and pictures that the projector itself can play with its full featured MP4 functionality – something you see in several similar projectors, although best implemented here.
4. Beats by Dr. Dre Tour High Resolution In-Ear Headphones
Okay, not the original ones, but a very good copy nonetheless. One of the best copies I've actually come across so far. They sound amazingly clear and crisp, and if you haven't listened to anything through the original earphones for a while, then you'd never be able to tell the difference. I only really noticed the difference when I tried them one after the other. The copied Beats are a bit muffled, but no too much to make the earphones inappreciable.
3. Blue Times 3551HD-C 3.5″ HDD Media Player
This is another one of the devices we have at the office. This particular one is a permanent fixture in our rec room. It basically stores a bunch of the company's advertising videos, as well as movies to watch in our free time and recordings of educational technology shows. It's something many of the office staff use everyday, and I've gotten to use it several times myself when I come over. It's also something I've gotten for myself to use at home.
If you're looking for an HDD media player, this one should always be the first you should consider. I've seen HDD media players start to become more popular in mainstream markets, but none of them have ever come close to the Chinese made products. And of all the Chinese made products, I haven't come across anything that's better than this yet.
It would have been a complete entertainment package, had it not been for it's lack of a DVD or BD player. Other than that, it's packed with more features than you'd ever wish for in an HDD media player and will totally redefine your view of what an HDD media player should be like.
2. Haipad X9 Tablet PC
A true underdog in its class – not in performance, but in its popularity. This is actually one of the products I had opened up the package of out of sheer curiosity, and I'm glad I opened up the package then and bought it. This is now officially my favorite tablet after the iPad. The main reason I like it is because it runs Windows 7, with its broad selection of software, and runs it very well in that regard. It's like a cheaper version of the horribly expensive EEE Slate by Asus.
Well, it does differ from the EEE Slate in many regards, but you can almost think of it in that respect. It's a very capable tablet, that will run many Windows programs without a problem. I was even able to run Photoshop CS2 on it with ease, and although it isn't equipped with a pressure sensitive stylus like the EEE Slate, it still did a great job of making graphics design using the tablet much easier than any such attempt with a mouse.
I can say that I'm a fan of the iPad, but when the iPad doesn't cut it and you need the vast array of software options that are available to Windows users, this is the way to go.
1. Haipad MID 701 Android 2.1 Tablet
And the finally, there is the famous Haipad MID 701. A good example of how a tablet should be done. Of course, Android 2.1 is already quite obsolete, but many MID 701 users have found their own ways of formatting it to run Android 2.2, making the MID 701 a great buy even now that it's a year old. The sheer flexibility and steadfastness of the platform have insured that it will enjoy continued success – which it has proven successfully.
Personally, I find that the MID 701 will still continue to be used even as it nears the end of its reign as the most popular Android Tablet coming out of China at the moment. It still continues to bring in favorable reviews from buyers this late into it's life, so I don't expect it to go out of style too soon.
So there you have it, the Top 5 Must Buy Electronic Items according to none other than me. I believe I gave this initial task of assembling the list a just outcome, and I look forward to creating a more complete list at a later time. In the meantime, here's a few other products that were worth mentioning:
Rena 3 / N7a Android Tablet - For the successful implementation of a dual core processor alone, it would have deserved a top seating, however, the Rena 3 has already run out of stock – it was snatched up almost as soon as it was put out. I had gotten a chance to see it once before at an expo in Beijing, and it impressed me very much. [Update July 6, 2011: The Rena 3 is now back in stock due to popular demand.]
APad M10 Tablet PC - Just like the Haipad X9 in almost every way except with regards to the touchscreen and a few other functionalities. This tablet leans more toward being a true tablet than a personal computer. It's additional functions include built-in Bluetooth and optional 3g capabilities – something the Haipad X9 doesn't share at all.
And that's it. My Top 5 Must Buy Electronic Items for the midyear. To review the items more closely, and if you would like to purchase any of the items, they are all available from almost any wholesale electronics shop.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A deep ruby red color, a blooming aroma of ample ripe cherries, sweet spices, plum, tobacco, pepper, tar. Supple and silky on the palate, with concentrated texture mellowed into a body with richness and ripeness. Sweet and fine tannins, long fruity, spiced and toasty finish. Excellent cellaring potential, with bottle age, adding to the wine's complexity.
"The 2004 Taurasi Pago dei Fusi is a single-vineyard wine that has previously not been available in the US. Hopefully that will change, as this is a rock-star wine. The Pago dei Fusi shows a touch more depth and inner sweetness than the regular bottling, but without abandoning what is essentially a classic style. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice and incense are woven together in a fabric of superb richness. The finish is long, precise and exceptionally pure, with crystalline, mineral notes that add freshness. This site, which was once under water, is rich in marine deposits that confer a beautiful sense of vibrancy to the wine. The integration of the oak is superb. Readers will not want to miss this gem! Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.Rated: 95+"

The Wine Advocate
"Good full ruby-purple. Very fresh, intense aromas of dark plum, violet, tobacco and loam. Then lighter on the palate than the rich nose suggests, but with good volume and depth to the floral and dark fruit flavors. Shows a distinctly old-school texture, with a leaner, more austere mouthfeel than the other Taurasi wines in the Terradora portfolio. But there's enough underlying structure to make this cellarworthy, and it certainly needs time to develop a little more flesh. Finishes long, with building but fine-grained tannins.90(+?) points."

What specifically about the text are you wondering about?
Yes, it is true Gorbachev proposed complete nuclear disarmament to Reagan.
No, it is not true Reagan brought down the Soviet Union by uttering two words. It was actually Chuck Norris.
"It was exactly the opposite of the nuclear arms race in the 40s and 50s, in which the US worked like crazy to develop massive offensive weapons which it jealously guarded."
This is debatable. The US attitude towards nuclear proliferation before Kennedy took office was a mixed bag. During the Eisenhower Administration, numerous US officials, mostly at the State Department, actually pushed for giving the nuclear options to West Germany and especially Japan. However this started to change after Ike went on a tour of NATO facilities in Europe and the Middle East and was "enraged" discovering nuclear armed F84 fighter bombers belonging to the West German and Turkish air forces were on a 24 hours alert. What enraged Ike so much is the fact the weapons came from US stocks and the famous "dual key agreement" was sloppily implemented at best, meaning West Germany and Turkey had the potential of using nuclear weapons without prior US authorization.
"Reagan, on the other hand, saw SDI as the way forward into a post-nuclear era."
The man we'd really need to talk to about the SDI is Caspar Weinberger, Reagan's powerful Secretary of Defense. According to an historian Weinberger "had never seen a defense system he didn't like". To this day is debated whatever Weinberger was just a shill for the military-industrial complex or, in accord with other government officials including Reagan himself, he willingly stepped on the military spending pedal to "spend the USSR into oblivion". The truth probably lays somewhere in between.
"Gorbachev reiterated his point that SDI was destabilizing. Reagan reiterated his point that it wouldn't be, because the US would share every scrap of the thing. Gorbachev dismissed this on the ground that just a few months before, the US and USSR diplomatic corps had failed to reach a mutual agreement on the technological exchange of milking machines. Seriously. Like, for cows. If you won't give us your milking machine technology, Gorbachev said, why should I believe you'd give us the ultimate space weapon?"
Again this is open to debate. The US approach of sharing sensitive technology with foreign countries (regardless of them being allies, neutral or foe) changed radically in the second half of the '70s. During the buildup to the Yom Kippur War, the Shin Beth (Israel's shadowy internal intelligence agency) started tracing encrypted communications originating from Israel and directed to the KGB's post in Cyprus. Thanks to a genius linguist they were able to crack the code open and discover the content of this stream of communication. However, due to the sophistication of the encryption they were never able to discover the source of the signal. A little before the 1979 Revolution, a joint CIA-SAVAK (the Shah's feared secret police) operation netted a KGB agent in the upper levels of Iranian administration. He was found to be in possession of a US-made communication device of the type issued by CIA to its own operatives in the Soviet Bloc: it was the same technology that had been driving the Israelis mad. This led to a complete review of security procedures and technology sharing: it was suspected the Soviet got the devices through the British intelligence (which both the CIA and the Israelis believed to have been heavily infiltrated by KGB operatives: they were proven to be right just a few years later). If the US could not trust their closest ally of fifty years, whom could they trust? I doubt American goverment officials, who had gone to incredible lengths to keep the astounding resolution their KH-11 spy satellite was capable of secret (only Israel had access to the images, and until 1980 or so they only got lower resolution pictures), would have been ready and willing to share such advanced technology with anyone.
Another little known fact is, while many Soviet officials saw the SDI as a threat to MAD, others (especially in the KGB) saw it as an opportunity. As we all know the SDI was aimed at protecting the Continental US, leaving Europe open to a Soviet nuclear strike. Soviet diplomacy played this up to bring about a rift between European countries (many of which deeply already resented the presence of IRBM's on their soil) and the US. European Communist and Socialist Parties (all deeply influenced by Moscow) were among the most vocal critics of the SDI. That's the reason why the Bush II Administration, after resurrecting the SDI's rotten corpse, immediately "offered" European allies SDI coverage in form of early warning radars, land based interceptors and naval based missiles. It was one of the triumphs of the Bush Administration, except for Russia (they know very well who the SDI is really aimed to), no objection was raised this time around, despite the fact the systems appears to be years from being remotely effective.
Marko:Yes, it is true Gorbachev proposed complete nuclear disarmament to Reagan.
Khrushchev also proposed complete nuclear disarmament to Kennedy (source).

Here's yet another high profile celeb, swapping out her standard Hermes Birkin for a Celine bag. (The Celine Phantom Luggage Tote, to be exact.) Heiress Tamara Ecclestone looked dressed for a gym for bikers when she was spotted with her Celine in Beverly Hills. We've dished on the Ecclestone sisters and their unrivaled Hermes Birkin collection before (both sisters can lay claim to about a dozen different Birkins apiece), but Celines are the only daytime Birkin alternative we've ever seen either of them carry. As you might suspect, this isn't Tamara's only Luggage Tote, either.
Celine bags are only available in high-end department stores and Celine boutiques – how could Celine maintain that air of exclusivity otherwise? We've kvetched about this at length before; Celine fans who aren't A-list actresses or billionaires, feel free to air your grievances here.

Sophomore linemates Rocco Grimaldi and Drake Caggiula each potted their second goal of the weekend as seventh-ranked North Dakota battled Vermont to a 2-2 overtime tie Saturday night at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The goals by Grimaldi and Caggiula staked UND to a 2-0 lead after the first period, but the Catamounts salvaged the tie on second-period goals by Robert Polesello and Chris McCarthy, the latter coming shorthanded.
After nothing was settled in overtime, the two teams staged an exhibition shootout with UND winning 2-1 on goals by Grimaldi and junior Michael Parks. The game, as a non-conference matchup, officially went into the record books as a tie.
Sophomore goalie Zane Gothberg made his first start of the season and stopped 25 of 27 shots. His Vermont counterpart, freshman Mike Santaguida, stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced.
UND went 1-for-5 on the power play while killing all six Vermont chances.
UND will open National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) play next weekend at second-ranked Miami.

Model-View-ControllerAbbreviated as MVC, Model-View-Controller is the term used to describe a software paradigm that separates objects into one of three categories:
- models for maintaining data
- views for displaying all or a portion of the data
- controllers for handling events that affect the model or views.
In this separation, the view and controller depend on the model. However, the model does not depend on either of the two making it so the model can be built and tested independent of the visual presentation.
The Struts Framework is one of many examples of Web application development standards that is based on the Model-View-Controller design paradigm.

Behind an art museum's gleaming galleries lies the off-limits and uninviting space that can hold as much as 95% of its collection: storage.
These spaces are often packed with hundreds or even thousands of paintings, decorative art objects and other artifacts that can languish, unappreciated and untouched by curators, for years.
But as a way to bring art out from its underbelly and display more of a museum's possessions, several institutions are embracing "visible storage" in public areas, exhibiting the art without the expense of a spacious, beautifully installed and curated show.
PHOTOS: A fresh perspective on LACMA's 'old' buildings
And two new, but quite different, examples are planned for museums in Los Angeles.
At the L.A. County Museum of Art, where only 2.3% of the 119,000-piece collection is currently on view, director Michael Govan has been working with architect Peter Zumthor on new $650-million building plans that would, among other things, bring more artwork out of storage.
Meanwhile, at the Broad under construction downtown, architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro are essentially putting the storage room itself — and maybe the idea of storage as well — on display. The Broad is expected to open to the public by the end of 2014.
"There is this public assumption that museums are hoarding objects in dark rooms, and by the way that isn't totally wrong," said Govan. "What we're saying is that those objects are worthy for viewing and studying if not always for exhibitions. So you're not contemplating a masterpiece, but maybe you'll find value in comparing and contrasting different examples of vases."
Govan says Zumthor's proposed design — a building that features an expansive single-floor exhibition space supported 30 feet off the ground by glass stems called "cores" — would allow for twice as many artworks to be on display as the current buildings do.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture in pictures by The Times
The idea, Govan said, is that the cores would contain "denser," "semi-permanent" installations of art (along with stairs, elevators and study rooms) visible from the museum grounds. He has compared these spaces to storefronts on Rodeo Drive, giving visitors a taste of what's inside, even at night.
"For us this is about our institutional history," said Joanne Heyler, the director and chief curator of the Broad museum, the future home to Eli and Edythe Broad's 2,000-work collection. "How in a building can we make it clear to visitors that storage and conservation are a core part of the museum's function? And how do we make that more transparent?"
While the main skylight-studded exhibition space will be located on the third floor, the second floor features private-access storage rooms for paintings and sculptures. But leaving the third floor by stairs promises a wow moment, with floor-to-ceiling plate-glass windows offering two glimpses into the paintings storage area.
One will be a sweeping view of the storage racks (picture large steel sheets that run along suspended tracks). Another window is positioned between the aisles, so several paintings will be visible.
And, yes, Heyler is already thinking about what to display most prominently in storage, noting for example that a 20-foot Anselm Kiefer painting would be too large to be seen in full in that space.
"That's the funny thing," she said. "You end up curating your storage."

Visitors can already experience something similar at the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver. The museum, which opened two years ago, teases visitors with views into glass-walled storage rooms on the ground floor, while the main exhibition galleries are above.
Dean Sobel, the director of the Clyfford Still Museum, said the thinking was to help demonstrate the depth and breadth of the artist's life's work — 95% of which, he says, belongs to the museum.
"Once we decided that all of the storage would be on site, we made the decision not just to relegate it to a basement but to put it on the ground floor as part of the visitor experience. We wanted to put activity normally hidden from the viewer on display," he said, noting that the conservation area is also visible through glass walls.
