To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
In our ongoing quest for purity of expression we continue to shift toward more neutral elevage for this enjoy-it-young Chardonnay: splitting half of the fruit between concrete egg and stainless steel vessels. The remainder fermented and aged in French oak, only 15% new and barely perceptible in the finished wine's aromas of wet-stone, lime and oyster-shell. Malolactic fermentation provides a round, glycerin finish that balance the wine's vibrant mouth-watering acidity.
"Failla's 2012 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is wonderfully tense and vibrant, especially within the context of the vintage. Lemon oil and floral notes jump from the glass in a graceful, chiseled Chardonnay long on class. The Chardonnay is done in equal parts stainless steel, barrel and concrete egg."

"Tart with acidity but lush with fruit, this is a lovely Chardonnay to drink with shellfish dishes. Honeyed notes accompany flavors of tropical fruit, Meyer lemon and lime. Oak lends touches of vanilla and a creaminess that finishes clean. "

Wine Enthusiast
While the history of Failla (pronounced FAY-la) is short it is not without its complexities. Founded as Failla Jordan in 1998, it took its name from the husband-and-wife team of winemaker Ehren Jordan and fellow debtor Anne-Marie Failla. That year we planted our Estate vineyard on the Sonoma Coast and began buying fruit for our first releases, the very Rhône-style '98 Alban Vineyard Viognier and '98 Que Syrah Syrah.
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the...Read More About Sonoma County

Deep consumer insight is crucial to successful strategy development and execution. Understanding what matters to customers and drives their behavior is essential for leveraging countless sources of advantage—from creating growth opportunities or new offerings to evaluating acquisition targets or outsourcing strategies. Quite simply, consumer insight helps companies answer some of today's most important questions:
What are the most attractive segments for us? Which segments are sizable, economically attractive, and defensible? What are these customers' needs, and how can we serve them?
How are we and our competitors perceived by our customers, and by our potential customers?
What are the purchase and decision patterns of customers? Where are the biggest profit pools, and what are the key levers and triggers to acquire and retain customers?
Where can we grow? Can we profitably extend our brand(s) into new products, categories, and segments?
Through the Center for Consumer and Customer Insight, BCG applies a unique, integrated approach that brings clients the full value of deeper customer understanding. We strive to uncover insight that translates into actionable strategies that drive economic impact. Our customized consumer research is grounded in deep knowledge of business context and tightly integrated into strategic decision-making.
We push for deep insights and tie our findings directly to their economic impact and their value to an organization. We also partner with companies to expand their existing capabilities, utilize their internal expertise, and leverage their category knowledge. The Center for Consumer and Customer Insight comprises a dedicated global team of experts, who partner with approximately 4,000 consultants trained in this discipline to support our case teams and bring specific understanding and experience to each project.
We have conducted our own research over many years in order to uncover the most pertinent insight into customer thinking. We talk to each client's customers and design qualitative tools and quantitative surveys that are specific to them. Because of this hands-on approach, we can hear the customer's voice directly and interpret it appropriately, allowing us to extract the most valuable insight.
Beyond this, we also have proprietary tools that we have developed over the years—qualitative and quantitative techniques that give deep insight and that are custom-applied to each client. We bring with us to each case a history of actionable insights, drawing on our research and publications on leading-edge topics. By systematically integrating our consumer insight research into our work, we enable our clients to create real-world impact.
Our work in the Center for Consumer and Customer Insight spans all regions, industries, and topics. BCG has worked on more than 1,500 consumer-insight projects around the world in the past decade—including 400 in the past two years. The center is sponsored by BCG's Marketing and Sales and Consumer practices, with support from the Global Advantage practice in emerging markets.

San Francisco Rackers Celebrate Bike To Work Day
Roughly 90 percent of Rackspace's San Francisco-based employees commute to the office using alternative methods of transportation. Of those, about 30 percent bike to work on a daily basis – another 60 percent or so walk or take public transportation – so it was a no-brainer that Rackspace's San Francisco office would join the city on Thursday, May 10 to celebrate Bike To Work Day.

Victorious: "Tori Tortures Teacher" Screen Captures

Vanii has made & added screen captures of Tori Tortures Teacher:
Behind The Scenes of the "All I Want Is Everything" Video
Posted by Laura on Oct 05 2011, 2012 with 0 Comments
Victoria Justice and the cast of 'Victorious' released their 'All I Want Is Everything' video last month, and now they're giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at how it all came together.
In the clip, you get to hear more about the edgy downtown L.A. location where the video was shot, and what the song is about from Victoria's point of view.
"'All I Want Is Everything' is about wanting something really, really badly and not being afraid to go for it," she says. "The moment is now, so take a chance and do it."
Tori is trying to get the attention of a guy she has a crush on, and her loyal friends are helping her come up with ways to get his attention. They post flyers around town, make videos and, of course, break out into an awesome choreographed number.
Victoria says the choreography section of the video was "really fun," even though she had to kick things into high gear to get it done. "I only had a day to learn it, not even a day," she says. "I think I had, like, four hours in a day."
Pretty impressive! Check out the 'All I Want Is Everything' behind-the-scenes video below. Love the song? You can find it on the full 'Victorious' album, which is available on iTunes now.

As you guys can (hopefully) see, we've got a new layout after about one and a half months. This one's a little darker than the ones we had before and maybe also a bit "different" (that's because I got tired of all fansites looking the same these days... I wanted to create something more unique).
I made like 3 different layouts before I finally managed to make one that I like, so it was quite unnerving... But I'm pretty happy with this one now
I don't really know what else to say, so I just hope that you like it and feel free to tell me what you think

With controversy the primary star in 2013, it has been refreshing to read features by Steve Wehrly these last two years.
His data are accurate; he has objective judgment, and has introduced a posh eastern accent to our otherwise secluded environment. Worldview matters.

2.0 in a Rabbit GTII have some questions about my 2.0-liter 16V Passat motor that I'm putting in an '83 Rabbit GTI. I want to do the carb conversion and nitrous, so where can I find the internals to beef it up so it can handle the juice?Chrisvia the Internet
The internals for the 16V engine are pretty strong to begin with, and if they are in good shape they should be able to handle the nitrous, depending on how big a shot you are planning on using. The crankshaft is forged, as are the rods and pistons. In fact, VW continued to use the same rods on the early 1.8T engines, including the 225hp version from the TT. If you do want to beef up the bottom end, I'd suggest Pauter (www.pauter.com) or Carillo (www.carrilloind.com), both make rods for the 16V engine. You can reuse the stock pistons if you'd like. I'd contact the manufacturer for a retailer in your local area.
GTI VR6 in NeedI just got a '98 VW GTI VR6 and I'm having a hell of a time finding aftermarket go-fast mods. Can you point me in the right direction? Davevia the Internet
There are numerous places where you can get engine, suspension and other modifications for your GTI VR6. These include Neuspeed (www.neuspeed.com)ABD Racing (www.abdracing.com)Eurosport Accessories (www.eurosportacc.com)RPI Equipped (www.rpiequipped.com), to name a few.
Upgrading a VR6 to R32 PerformanceI have a dilemma. I just paid off my 2000 GTI GLX. It only has 21K miles and looks like new. My total investment for this car including finance charges was $33K. I think most people forget to factor in the cost to finance a car. I would love to buy the R32, but I will be losing much of my investment with a trade-in. What can I do to match R32 performance? I've seen stats that indicate the lower curb weight of the VR6 gives it an advantage. Will it seem reasonable that 3.2-liter short blocks will become available from the salvage yards or tuners in the near future? Would a cam (DSR 256), GIAC chip and 2.5-inch exhaust close the gap? Have you had experience with the 85mm pistons that are now available? How can I bring the VR6's handling close to the R32's? There are so many shock/spring combos, it's hard to choose the right one that can handle the 405 freeway, Mulholland and the streets of downtown LA. Mickvia the Internet
As you already know, cars are not a great investment in terms of getting a return on that investment. However, we shouldn't be buying them for investment purposes, but for the sheer pleasure we get from owning them. That being said, you can turn your GTI into an extremely fun and fairly fast car. The problem is that the R32 comes that way from the factory and needs very few if any modifications. Since the U.S.-spec version of the R32 hasn't been on our shores that long, very few independent tests have been done on the car by major publications, including European Car. However, we do know of several U.S.-spec R32s which have already made it to their local drag strip and run 13.9-second quarter miles. You really can't compare the magazine times to that of the manufacturer's, especially VW which is typically very conservative with its published numbers. As for the upgrades you mentioned for your VR6, those upgrades should yield about 25 additional horsepower and your lighter GTI should put you pretty close to stock R32 performance, at least in a straight line. If you're concerned with ride comfort, I'd suggest Neuspeed Softsport springs with Koni adjustable struts. This combination will only lower the car about half an inch and allow you to adjust the firmness of the shocks. You can soften them up for daily driving and then firm them up when you want increased performance. With a good set of Z-rated tires you'll be all set.
MKIV GolfI recently purchased a 2000 GTI with a VR6. What would it take to put a 24V head on, or to put the R32 3.2-liter with a six-speed into my car? My car is front-wheel drive. I'm not looking to convert to AWD as that is too expensive. If I could get the 3.2-liter in my car with the six-speed would I be able to put some sort of cap on the rear driveshaft exit hole (just cutting the driveshaft flush at the tranny)? Where do I get this engine?Anonymousvia the Internet
Due to differences in the block design for cooling purposes, you cannot swap a 12V head for a 24V head. As for the 3.2L swap, you would be able to swap the engine in with minimal modifications. In fact, you could use your existing five-speed transmission as long as you install a higher rated clutch and possibly a Quaife or Peloquin limited-slip differential. If you do want to use a new 02M six-speed transmission, I'd look for one from a front-wheel drive VW as it would make the swap much simpler and the gearing would be better suited to your FWD car. Since the R32 is just now hitting U.S. shores, you're going to pay a premium for an engine. Same with the transmission. I'd check Copart (www.copartfinder.com) to see if any surface in the not-too-distant future.
1980 VW Rabbit Engine SwapI own a 1980 two-door VW Rabbit. I just recently purchased a 1990 European-spec 1.8-liter 16V complete with close-ratio five-speed tranny. The engine has the 50mm intake but also has the European fuel delivery system. I'm planning on dropping the engine in soon, but I was wandering what precautions or steps I should take beforehand. Are the fuel and intake systems going to give me issues because they are both on the passenger side? Are there any parts I should replace on the car or engine before the transplant? Peter ConnollyMarblehead, Massachusetts
It sounds like you have your hands full with this swap. While the intake and fueling on the passenger side do make it more difficult, it doesn't mean it's impossible, just that it will take some more creativity on your part, especially with getting the fuel lines and such to fit correctly, not to mention ECU wiring, etc. However, you would be much better off to use the intake and fueling off a U.S.-made 16V Scirocco. This would allow for everything to simply bolt into the Rabbit. You could also offset the cost of the swap by selling that 50mm intake manifold.
Golf MKIV 1.8T Cold-Air IntakeI have a 2000 Golf 1.8T GLS with a GIAC chip. The chip was installed last year and I'm looking to purchase a cold-air intake. Many VW owners swear by it, others say it's a waste of money and that I should just focus on getting an exhaust upgrade (currently have the stock exhaust). What are your thoughts on cold-air intakes? Which make and model would you recommend? What about the exhaust, what should I look for? Roberto BaccegaMontreal, Canada
Most of the cold-air intakes (CAI) for the 1.8T are very similar. The major difference is in tubing diameter and the material they're made from. Some are aluminum, some are plastic, some are powdercoated or chromed steel, some are made in carbon fiber. While CAIs have proven to provide benefits, they're most beneficial when they are clean. Due to their location down in the front of the car they're subject to lots of road debris and get dirty quite quickly. A dirty CAI is not going to work as well as a stock filter, so you need to make sure that you keep it clean. There are so many different CAIs out there and they all provide similar gains. GHL, Velocity, AEM, Neuspeed, EVO, and Carbonio all make intakes for your car. As for exhausts, there are so many out there for the 1.8T it would take about two pages to list them all. I'd suggest looking for a complete turbo-back system rather than a cat-back, as the larger downpipe included in the turbo-back system will provide substantial gains as well. Several companies produce these systems like APR, Techtonics Tuning, Brullen, Eurosport, Neuspeed and Milltek.
1993 Vento GTI'm living in Germany working with the U.S. Military and own a 1993 Vento GT with a 115-hp 2.0-liter. I was wondering how much is different from my motor and the 2.0-liter from the States. The 2.0 liter in the States has the crossflow intake system, whereas mine still comes in through the rear of the motor. Will parts from the 2.0-liter Stateside motor work in my German-spec motor?I'm also wondering if there is a 16-valve motor that will swap easily in my car? I am looking for a cheap and easy swap to get me a little extra power with some bolt-on possibilities. I don't want to do the VR6 swap, which I heard was a simple swap. It's not a cheap motor to buy.So if you could help me find out what my options are it would be greatly appreciated.Jason Ryo Osterman
As you've noted, the U.S. crossflow 2.0-liter is different from the 2.0-liter engine in Europe, although their size and power output are the same. Most of the parts related to the intake, exhaust and fueling system are going to be different, as well as internal parts directly related to the crossflow head. I would think that some of the parts would be interchangeable but probably very few. As for doing a swap in the car, the VR6 would be an easier swap and the price of the engine has dropped considerably as they become more readily available at wrecking yards, etc. If you're looking for power, I would look at doing a VR6 swap.
TDI Exhaust I have a 2002 VW TDI, and I'm looking at aftermarket exhausts to go with my Upsolute chip. I was wondering what you think the best exhaust for a TDI is? I was looking at a Techtonics unit, but unfortunately they do not have the turbo downpipe for the TDI model. I've seen models that are built for the 2.0, 1.8T, and VR6 not having specific models for each of those engines. Are those particular units compatible with the TDI also?Matt Hubbardvia the Internet
You will need a TDI specific downpipe for your car if you want it to fit correctly. You can contact a good local muffler/exhaust shop and have one fabricated for you, or you can check out Supersprint (www.supersprintna.com), which makes a nice downpipe for your TDI. GHL is also in the process of producing one for the TDI as well. North American Motorsports (www.namotorsports.com) sells GHL products, so you might want to contact them and see when the downpipe will be available.
Late Model Jetta Diesel QuestionsI recently bought a 2002 VW Jetta TDI, and I have no idea what I can do to it. If you could point me in the direction of a good Web site I would be much obliged. I just want to soup it up a bit (more horse, better boost, the chip, and maybe a new turbo) But I have no one to talk to about this subject.ColeBritish Columbia
One of the best TDI resources on the Web is Fred's TDI Club (www.tdiclub.com). Also check out VWVortex.com's TDI forums. (www.vwvortex.com). If you can't find the information you want concerning TDIs on these two sites, it probably doesn't exist.
Fox Swap?I have an '88 Fox wagon. I was wondering if there is an engine that can be swapped as easily as the Honda swaps. I'm sick of seeing the same cars tearing up the concrete and I want a sleeper to spank them with. Scott Gregoryvia the Internet
You can definitely swap different engines into a Fox, one of the most common is using the 2.0-liter 3A "bubble block" engine from Audi. Others have swapped in the venerable 2.0-liter 16V into their cars. One guy even put an Audi 2.8-liter V6 in his. None of these swaps would be considered easy, but they're definitely possible. While the two 2.0-liter engines I mentioned will bolt right in, you'll need to figure out how to mate the fueling systems and electronics and ECU from those engines to the Fox, as well as be ready to have some items, like the exhaust system, custom made for your application.
A1 GolfI just bought a '79 Diesel Golf. I'm wondering what kind of performance mods and body kits are out there. I also want to know how to increase the torque and horsepower of the engine. I know that since it's a Diesel, it will gain more torque than horsepower. Also, I want to know where I can find an exhaust for my Diesel car. I know if I put on a gas-engine exhaust on my Golf, a lot of smoke will be produced. Where can I get a performance exhaust for a Diesel Golf?Houawa Moua via the Internet
As far as body kit pieces go, pretty much anything designed for an A1 will work on your car. You can go with factory kits as well as aftermarket. It all depends on your budget and whether you want to go mild or wild. Check out RPI (www.rpiequipped.com) and also ABD Racing (www.abdracing.com) as both carry a wide variety of body kits for your car.
As for performance enhancements for your diesel, there aren't a lot of "kits" out there and you'll be pretty much on your own in terms of finding parts to improve performance. Check out the forums over at www.vwdieselparts.com; they contain all you'll ever needed to know about VW diesel engines. As for performance exhausts, a Techtonics Tuning (www.techtonicstuning.com) exhaust, with a 2.25-in. diameter and an extra resonator should work, even though they're designed for gas-powered cars. You can add a short Techtonics Tuning dual downpipe with a stainless-steel "flex" coupling where the cat would be on a gas car if you use the stock diesel exhaust manifold. It would also be a good time to invest in some new motor mounts to prevent engine movement, which could damage the exhaust system.
2000 VW Jetta 2.0LI own several VWs, a '97 Golf K2, 2000 Passat V6, and 2000 Jetta 2.0-liter. The Jetta has started (from time to time) to refuse to accelerate under load when cold. The check engine light came on with a code for a misfire in cylinder number one. I replaced the wire; light problem solved. But the engine's refusal to accelerate under load continues when cold. Once it's warmed up everything's fine. No more engine light, either. The engine has 55,000 miles and has received all factory recommended service (plus extra oil changes). What are your thoughts on the problem?Mike Voellvia the Internet
Hey Mike,This sounds like a bad Mass Air Flow (M.A.F.) sensor problem to me. It might not be a bad idea to also go ahead and change the plugs, plug wires and coil as well, since if one plug wire one already went bad the others are probably not too far behind. Replacement M.A.F.s can be found for a good price at www.vwparts.com.
Jetta Hill ClimbI am in a big dispute with my father. I own a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg. My dad owns a 1990 VW GLI 2.0-liter Wolfsburg. He says that his Jetta is quicker than mine up a highway that has a 20-degree slope. Could you give me all the performance facts on both of these cars?Keahi Hattisvia the Internet
This would be an interesting race as both cars would offer similar performance, depending on what speed you're going when you hit the hill. A 20-degree slope is very steep and the car in the right gear for its torque curve would be the one that would probably get there quicker. While your car has more power and torque, it's also considerably heavier than your dad's GLI. Both cars' performance statistics from the factory are very close in terms of 0-60 acceleration, both being quoted in the mid to high 7-second range. However, in-gear acceleration is what's going to make the difference here and the shorter gearing of the GLI might make up for its slight hp and torque disadvantage. When all is said and done, it would be too close to call.
GLS TechA friend of mine has a 2002 Jetta GLS, which has had a lot of mechanical problems since she bought it. The rear windows fell without any action by the driver. The transmission made a noise (like a knock) while driving and sometimes it takes a few minutes to take the drive shifter (it's an automatic) from neutral, especially while waiting for light changes. I have heard that these models had some defects from the beginning and that there was a recall.Eduardo A. Escribano-Romnvia the Internet
You're correct that there have been two recalls issued for Jettas of that year. Unfortunately, the recalls did not cover the issues you mentioned. The first recall was for short circuits can occur within the electronic control unit of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and also for brake light switch malfunctions. Volkswagen has also extended the warranty on some cars of that model and year for window regulator and coil pack malfunctions. However, the window regulator warranty extension was for the front windows only. I suggest you contact your local dealer and give them the VIN number of the car and all the recalls applicable to the vehicle will be identified, as well as the extended warranties.
New SeatsI currently have a '77 Rabbit with a 16V conversion. When I bought the car, it had seats from what I believe are a MkII GTI. Can I install seats from a newer VW in there without changing the rail system? If not, it is possible to take the rail system out of whatever car I'm taking the seats from? What I'm thinking of is taking the seats from a MkIII GTI or newer from a parts lot in town. Would this be a sound choice?Jonathan Dorseyvia the Internet
Pretty much all MKII seats should bolt right into your MKI Rabbit. The MKIII seats would need to have the lower rails modified, as the seat rail track is wider in the MKIII. I would look for some GTI or GLI seats from a MKII or go aftermarket.
Wheel WeightI'm a little stumped on the issue of how critical wheel mass actually is. I have a '97 Jetta GLX with the 2.8-liter VR6 engine. I have the original wheels and tires on the car, but I need to replace them soon. I have called The Tire Rack and I'm strongly considering the SSR Competion wheel, measuring 7.5x17 inches with a 215/40-17 tire. The wheel weighs only a measly 13.2 lb. They are also quite expensive, considering some of the other offerings. Another wheel I'm considering is the ASA LW5, same size, weighing 18.1 lb at a fraction of the cost of the SSRs. How critical is each additional pound of wheel mass? I understand that I should at least put on something that is lighter than what came stock on the car. Also, are these two wheels very strong? I live in the Snow Belt and have some very rough roads. Any other wheel recommendations or other advice would be great.Mike Overwegvia the Internet
The rule of thumb is lighter is always better when it comes to wheel weights. However, don't forget about the weight of the tire as well. Some tires can be as much as three or more pounds heavier than others in the same size, so be sure to check that as well before ordering your car's new shoes. As for the 4.9-lb difference per wheel, it would equate to adding about 33 lbs of weight to your car in terms of affecting performance, which is negligible. The SSR and the ASA are both high quality wheels and are quite strong, although neither is going to fare well against a major pothole. If that's a concern, a 16-in. wheel might be a better choice, and it'll be lighter as well.

Do you wonder whether morning workout's are better or the evening workouts? Whichever group you fall into, there is a good news. Turns out both workout times are beneficial and a suitable workout timing depends on your schedule, lifestyle and when your energy levels are highest.
Burning 500 calories in the morning is not different from burning 500 calories in the evening. Both workouts can adjust to your schedule and give effective & desired results. Morning workouts help you stick to your plan and there is less possibility of you missing it due to your daily routine. Also, research shows that the mind sharpness increases for 4-10 hrs after your workouts. It may help you concentrate better. On the down side, you may feel a little stiff before your morning workouts. So, ensure you warm up correctly before you workout.
Work through out the day warms up our muscles during the daily activities, helpful for a more intensive workout session. Muscles are warmed up and pretty much stretched. After a hard days work, an evening workout can help you get relief of the stress, as exercise is a great stress reliever. Performing a late evening workout can disrupt you sleep pattern due to the revved up metabolism after the workouts.
So, stop wasting your time in choosing between the morning or evening workouts. Just get going. Exercise is healthy for you anytime and most importantly if you want to loose those extra kilos hanging around your belly. If you can't workout on your own or if not much of a fitness freak then start with our boot camp and personal training programs. We can help you start.Author Information - this article is written by a wellness coach @ FitHo

That is beyond creepy. I certainly am glad you wrote that he's an EX coworker.
No one should ever mention their fetishes to anyone other than a BF/SO/spouse/etc.

This conversation is closed.
How can we as the TED Community/post contributors better utilise previous closed conversations & their ideas worth spreading?
On a recent (Do jails rehabilitate?) I posted, it came to light that many other conversations had much the same theme. Furthermore it then became apparent to me that there would be a lot of duplication/overlap and that what we effectively have is, a conversational recycling centre/center....without the benefits one usually associates for society from recycling.
If the vision of TED is for "Ideas worth spreading", then how can this translate into those stashed/stored/closed conversations being incorporated so that an idea is consistently refined via the new live posts.
If society is to grow, then the TED environment may well provide a very effective conduit for societal change, by way of idea development, then public/government integration/introduction to the refined idea.
In Democratic Countries, people can sign petitions supporting ideas (worth spreading) and goverment representatives can run their election campaigns on the back of committing to deliver them if they are not yet an elected public representative, or if already a representative because they agree with the idea too.
With the support of YOU as a part of the TED Community and your advice on how the above may be best achieved, my aspiration is that TED will then adopt the strategies and we will have even BETTER Ideas that will be really worth spreading into society at large in a very influential and positive way for the future of our planet.
Of course, if there are already exactly the same posts stashed/closed can you provide me the link? : D

Jul 29 2013: Thankyou everyone for your contributions. I do appreciate also the quality of the answers too. I think you all have touched on what is to me, essentially all the key points.
I very much like your idea Robert of the TEDwiki concept. To me that makes alot of sense.
We do have people here, for example, Krisztian, who are TED translators and so along these lines could perhaps be another accreditation for a TEDwiki contributor!
I also appreciate what Fritzie had to say with respect to the live here and now banter people get from participating in the now conversations.
Deepak's thought for being able to reactivate a conversation was interesting too for if someone was interested in the topic, it could be assumed that they had something to add to it, rather than setting up the reduplication process inherrent in establishing a new post conversation on the subject.
In reply to your query, Fritzie, as to whether I search the popular topics section, no I must say I haven't. Generally I will search the live conversation choices or hover over recent commenters to see what interests me and then I will just check it out and comment too if I feel I have something to add. Also I have started some conversations too.
My considerations in initiating this post had more to do with utilising what to me, was an opportunity to value add via the TED medium.
What is currently here is great, tho I would like to see an extra quiver in the bow and establish a way to be able to refine those popular posts with the view that they could then be filtered and made reality in society.
To this end I think Robert's concept has plenty of merit and would like to hear more about it and thoughts others have about it too! : D

How was your experience?
We sat on the absolute last row, right below the roof. The seats at this level are tiny and there's little to almost no leg room. Goldstar usually has excellent tickets but this time they were not great. The game was exciting but it was too bad that they lost.

For additional images, click:
|Select an image to see a magnified version. Note the file size beneath each image since large files will take longer to load from home with a modem.
|Under certain adverse environmental conditions (drought) many weed and crop plants accumulate nitrate to potentially toxic concentrations. Nitrate-accumulating weeds include pigweed (Amaranthus spp.), lambsquarter (Chenopodium spp.), dock (Rumex spp.) and nightshades (Solanum spp.). Potentially troublesome crop plants include corn, sorghum, oats, barley, beet tops and wheat.
Toxic principle: nitrate. Nitrate is reduced in the rumen to nitrite which is the ultimate toxin.
|Toxicity: as a salt, nitrate is toxic for ruminants at 0.5 g/kg (single oral dose). Forages containing > 0.2% nitrate and water containing > 1000 ppm are potentially toxic. Plants can accumulate 3 to 4% nitrate under appropriate conditions. Nitrate is not very toxic for monogastrics since it is not efficiently reduced to nitrite. However, nitrite is toxic for monogastrics. Unlike cyanide, nitrate does not volatilize and therefore dried forages are toxic.
|MOTA: the iron in hemoglobin is oxidized from ferrous to ferric iron. This results in the formation of methemoglobin. Methemoglobin has significantly reduced oxygen carrying capacity.
Clinical signs: dyspnea, sudden death, �muddy� mucous membranes, �brownish� appearance to blood.
Laboratory diagnosis: significant methemoglobin, high serum, ocular fluid or other body fluid nitrate concentration (> 20 ppm in serum or body fluids, > 50 ppm in ocular fluid). Measurement of high levels of nitrate in plants or water.
Lesions: �brownish� discoloration to blood, muscles
Treatment: directed at reducing methemoglobin to hemoglobin
� Remove from source
� A 1% solution of methylene blue is generally given at a dose of 4 to 15 mg/kg at 4 to 6 hour intervals. Methylene blue is reduced to leukomethylene blue, which in turn reduces methemoglobin.
Test forage prior to feeding. Ensiling high nitrate forage may lower nitrate concentrations to acceptable levels.

January ushered in a New Year and a host of resolutions
for self-improvement. Want the most bang for your resolution buck? Skip the
efforts to overhaul your life, and instead make happiness a priority. Getting happier
is easier than you think; by adding a series of small, manageable habits to
your daily routine, happiness awaits.
Expectations: Rise and shine with expectations of
happiness and success. When your intention is to have a great day, you will be
amazed at how well the day turns out. Take time to train your brain to expect
happiness and watch how it follows. Skeptical? Think of the proverbial glass -
is it half full or empty? Life is all in how you look at it so choose rose-colored
Stress eats away happiness so guard your well-being by planning and prioritizing.
By mapping out small, manageable goals for the day, you will find yourself
meeting them and enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done.
Whether it's simple stretching or kick-butt calisthenics, everyone has an
exercise threshold. Meet yours daily and reap the rewards. If possible,
exercise outdoors, the vitamin D and fresh air are good for you. Mother was
Relationships: The happiest people have well-developed
relationships with friends and family. Find time each day to connect with
someone special in your life whether it's a bedtime story with a child or a
phone call with a friend.
Media Consumption: Turn off your TV and toss that newspaper.
Reading about murder, mayhem and wayward politicians is depressing. And the
crass commercialism that imbues so magazines and TV programming is designed to
make you dissatisfied with your life and sell products. When we're bombarded
with upsetting news and images and never-ending product pitches, we wind up
uneasy and dissatisfied. Time to say thanks but no thanks.
Kindness: When you share a smile or a kind word with people
throughout the day, you will be rewarded in kind. Small pleasantries and thoughtful
gestures add up to big dividends in contentment and well-being.
Grateful: End every day with a gratitude round-up. Take a few
minutes pre-slumber to write in a journal, or just think of everything that happened
that day for which you a grateful; you may be surprised at how long your list
Here's to a Happy 2013!

Apple has unveiled its new iPad Mini tablet running on iOS 6 in a packed media event in San Jose, California.
Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, unveiled the device, opening with the observation that it's small enough for users to hold it in just one hand.
'This isn't just a shrunken down iPad. There's nothing as amazing as this,' said Schiller.
The new iPad Mini comes in black and white and is just 7.2mm thick, around a quarter thinner than the 4th generation of iPads. The device weighs just 0.68 lbs. 'It's as light as a pad of paper,' said Schiller. 'We were going to say book, but books are heavier!'
The iPad Mini has the same screen resolution as the iPad 2 at1024 x 768 pixels, but its screen size is 7.9 inches in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPad Mini delivers the same iPad experience users have come to expect in a design that has 35 percent more screen real estate than 7-inch tablets.
Schiller said that all of the software made for the iPad works on the new iPad Mini. 'It's great for reading your email, surfing the web, managing your photos,' said Schiller.
Schiller then proceeded to demo the iPad next to one of its closest Android competitors, the Google Nexus 7 (without actually naming it), showing that the iPad Mini's display area is larger, and users have up 67 percent more usable viewing area when browsing the web
Schiller said the iPad Mini comes with a Lightning connector with an A5 processor like the iPad 2, LTE versions, FaceTime HD camera, boasting a 5MP iSight camera around the back, which can record 1080p HD video.
The iPad mini features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi support for speeds up to 150 Mbps, which is twice the Wi-Fi performance compared to previous iPad models. The iPad mini will be made available in Wi-Fi and 3G/4G models with built-in support for ultrafast wireless standards, including LTE and DC-HSDPA. Schiller said that battery life on the device lasts all day.
The iPad Mini WiFi version starts shipping November 2nd, and its recommended retail price starts at $329 for the 16GB model.
Customers can start pre-ordering their iPad Minis and the 4th gen iPads from October 26th.
And like we reported earlier, Apple also unveiled a new iPad, iPad Gen 4 (we'll call it the iPad 4 for simplicity sake), you can read all about it on T3me.com.

MLK Jr. In His Own Words
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
From "Beyond Vietnam," April 4, 1967, Riverside Church, New York City.
As I have walked among the desperate, rejected and angry young men [in the ghettos] I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. But they asked – and rightly so – what about Vietnam? They asked if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.
... Now, it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war. If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.
... Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam. I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. I speak for the poor of America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in Vietnam. I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. I speak as an American to the leaders of my own nation. The great initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to stop it must be ours.
In 1957 a sensitive American official overseas said that it seemed to him that our nation was on the wrong side of a world revolution. ... I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. ... A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of Latin America and say: "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
America, the richest and most powerful nation in the world, can well lead the way in this revolution of values. There is nothing, except a tragic death wish, to prevent us from reordering our priorities, so that the pursuit of peace will take precedence over the pursuit of war. There is nothing to keep us from molding a recalcitrant status quo with bruised hands until we have fashioned it into a brotherhood.
From the Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Oslo, Norway, Dec. 10, 1964. King was 35 when he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
I believe that even amid today's motor bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow. I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men.
I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up. I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
"And the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid."
I still believe that we shall overcome.
From "Strength To Love," 1963.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
From "Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963.
For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never."
Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging dark of segregation to say, "Wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your 20 million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your 6-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a 5-year-old son who is asking: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; when you take a cross-county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored"; when your first name becomes "nigger," your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you no forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodiness" then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.
From "Birth of a New Nation," April 7, 1957.
The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks. And those people who tell you today that there is more tension in Montgomery than there has ever been are telling you right. Whenever you get out of Egypt, you always confront a little tension, you always confront a little temporary setback. If you didn't confront that you'd never get out.
You must remember that the tensionless period that we like to think of was the period when the Negro was complacently adjusted to segregation, discrimination, insult, and exploitation. And the period of tension is the period when the Negro has decided to rise up and break aloose from that. And this is the peace that we are seeking: not an old negative obnoxious peace which is merely the absence of tension, but a positive, lasting peace, which is the presence of brotherhood and justice. And it is never brought about without this temporary period of tension. The road to freedom is difficult.
King's response to death threats, June 5, 1964.
If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive.
From "I Have Been to the Mountaintop," delivered in Memphis, Tennessee on April 3, 1968. The following day King, 39, was shot and killed by James Earl Ray.
Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be. ...We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do, I've seen them so often. I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing, "Ain't gonna let nobody turn me round." Bull Connor next would say, "Turn the fire hoses on." And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn't know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn't relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denomination, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water.
That couldn't stop us. And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them; and we'd go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we'd just go on singing "Over my head I see freedom in the air." And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, "Take them off," and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, "We Shall Overcome." And every now and then we'd get in the jail, and we'd see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs. And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldn't adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham.
From "I Have A Dream," delivered at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, on Aug. 28, 1963.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon of hope to millions of slaves, who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the colored America is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the colored American is still sadly crippled by the manacle of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the colored American lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the colored American is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our great republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.
This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given its colored people a bad check, a check that has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice.
We have also come to his hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is not time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.
Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy.
Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
Now is the time to make justice a reality to all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of its colored citizens. This sweltering summer of the colored people's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. Those who hope that the colored Americans needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the colored citizen is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.
Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?"
We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.
We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
We cannot be satisfied as long as the colored person's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.
We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for whites only."
We cannot be satisfied as long as a colored person in Mississippi cannot vote and a colored person in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.
No, no we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of your trials and tribulations. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by storms of persecutions and staggered by the winds of police brutality.
You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our modern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you, my friends, even though we have the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day out in the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be engulfed, every hill shall be exalted and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to climb up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father's died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!"
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi and every mountainside.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
