- Mossback Cabernet Sauvignon Chalk Hill 2010 Product #27953 (In Stock)
The Chalk Hill AVA in the northeastern corner of the Russian River Valley includes only a half-dozen wineries - most famously Chalk Hill Winery - and about 1,600 acres of vineyard. A warm thermal belt running along the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains and a unique, chalky-appearing soil (actually decomposed volcanic ash) make this one of Sonoma's best sites for Chardonnay and Bordeaux varietals.
Normally, you'd expect to pay $40+ for handmade Cabernet from Chalk Hill, but the folks at Mossback have somehow figured out how to deliver 100% Chalk Hill quality at about 50% of the price! A classic style, with aromas of dark cherry and currant fruit complemented by notes of vanilla, licorice, crushed herb and baking spice. Rich but with a juicy lift, the flavors stay focused on black cherry and currant, dark chocolate, and macerated blackberry. Plenty of grip and focused acidity support a long, lingering, finish. Great steak wine with a fine future in front of it!
- Shane Syrah The Unknown North Coast 2011 Product #28130 (In Stock)
In 2011, the Syrah (85%) for The Unknown comes from one of our favorite sites and growers - Ulises Valdez's Chapoutier clone from Rockpile Vineyard. Instead of Viognier, the 2011 includes 15% Grenache, also grown by Valdez in the Russian River. Lots of whole cluster (75%) and moderate new oak (25%) lets the sites and vines sing out.
"Inky ruby. Aromas and flavors of dark berries, cola and candied violet, with a peppery nuance that gains power with air. Juicy and precise, with impressive clarity, focus and persistence on the silky, floral finish. In an elegant style for a syrah-based wine, with pinot-like weight and vivacity."International Wine Cellar 91 points
- Moshin Pinot Noir Molinari Vyd Sonoma 2009 Product #28098 (In Stock)
A really drinkable, balanced, and even fresh Sonoma County Pinot Noir that's labeled at a whopping 15.5% - but surely that must be wrong? The texture reminds of Carneros, plush, rich, and nicely concentrated with no over ripeness or heat. Loads of rich black and Bing cherry fruit are complemented by notes of spice and warm earth and just a touch of oak. Finishes bright and refreshing (15.5%? Really?) with lingering red fruit and spice. A fun, food-friendly, bottle of California Pinot Noir.

Microsoft Interactive Entertainment President Don Mattrick is leaving as reported at All Things Digital, but his new gig remains unknown. He's been with that department since 2010 (but he's been with Microsoft since 2007), with that department heading up Xbox gaming properties and Microsoft's peripheral gaming initiatives. Mattrick is actually best known for introducing the Xbox One that he Microsoft announced this past May, in addition to the next-generation Kinect sensor and the new version of the console. Consumers weren't happy with Mattrick recently since he provided a very dismissive answer regarding the Xbox One's always online policy, as well as its high $499 price tag.
It's reported that Mattrick might be headed over to well known social gaming company Zynga, but they declined to comment on if that rumor was true or not, still making it unclear where he's going to work next. No word yet on who will take his job if he's for sure leaving Microsoft. But besides currently being a key player in the gaming industry, he also has close ties to some of Hollywood's biggest names via connection with talent like Steven Spielberg. Electronic Arts also had their eye on Mattrick since they're looking for a new CEO.

To the Editor: H. Brent Solvason, Ph.D., M.D., et al. (1) described a woman seen with leg weakness and back pain who was initially diagnosed as suffering from conversion disorder and subsequently turned out to have sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The authors usefully highlighted how organic disease may be important in generating symptoms that are medically unexplained, either directly by effects on brain function or because of more complex behavioral responses to illness. They also showed how our current somatoform classification leaves little room for a dual diagnosis of organic and functional disorder. This unsatisfactory either/or philosophy is perhaps one reason why doctors are reluctant to diagnose conversion disorder in the first place.
There is another important reason why doctors are reluctant to diagnose conversion disorder—the common belief that such patients have a high likelihood of developing neurological disease in the long term. This view has principally arisen from a widely cited but flawed 1965 article (2) that suggested that up to 61% of patients diagnosed with hysteria will eventually develop neurological disease. However, in the last decade, a number of studies have shown that for patients who have seen a neurologist, the rate of misdiagnosis at follow-up is actually between 5% and 10% (3–6). This is a level comparable with those for other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
An additional issue is whether Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease could have been diagnosed during the patient's lifetime in this case. Recent advances have aided the detection of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. CSF 14-3-3 protein has a sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 84% (better than a periodic EEG) (7), and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows a bilateral basal ganglia high signal in about two-thirds of patients but only 7% of appropriate comparison subjects (8). Such MRI abnormalities are usually not mentioned in radiology reports and need to be specifically excluded (8). Given the clinical suspicion of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in this patient, these tests may have helped to make a diagnosis during her lifetime.
Clinical vigilance for a missed diagnosis of neurological disease in cases of conversion disorder is essential. It would be a shame, however, if this case conference reinforced the erroneous idea that the development of neurological disease in such cases is the norm. Failure to make a positive diagnosis of conversion disorder can have serious adverse consequences. The patient may be denied appropriate treatment management that vitally depends on persuading him or her that the symptoms are reversible and not due to disease. We should not withhold the diagnosis simply because we occasionally get it wrong.

Revisionism, is that a concept? Let's see, the Taliban once ruled Afghanistan and gave host to the Al-Qaeda, who incidentally, were created by the US CIA for the purpose of ridding the sovereign nation from a Russian invasion. The Al-Qaeda, and its former founding leader, Osama bin Laden, became unruly after having succeeded at ridding the Russians. Then, Al-Qaeda wanted to rid the US influence as well. So, they launched a war against America.
It was perceived as a nuisance, and not taken that seriously. A bomb exploded in a parking garage in the World Trade Center, and that was identified as a terrorist attack on a parking garage. That fledging initiative grew in scope and scale, and a few later airplanes manned by Al Qaeda flattened the World Trade Center, struck the Pentagon and damned near did much more damage than that.
America retaliated, kicking the Taliban out of government and forcing them to flee across the border to Pakistan and to live in remote parts of Afghanistan until the dust settles. It took a long time for the dust to settle as Americans hung around to attempt to rebuild Afghanistan and establish some military presence in that geography.
Karzai managed to con his way into government along with his brother and other cronies. Next, he waited for the Americans to go home. The Taliban telegraphed their desired to return to government as soon as the Americans depart. Karzai knows that they are coming back, and he can't and won't stop them. He just wants to retire to the good life in Afghanistan. What is that?
Anyway, he says that the Americans are attacking like insurgents and blaming that on Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Why pray tell? Is it because we Americans like it? He just wants to appear to be blaming and booting the Americans out while Americans are departing at their own time and pace.
"Karzai suspects U.S. is behind insurgent-style attacks, Afghan officials say
By Kevin Sieff, Published: January 27
KABUL — President Hamid Karzai has frequently lashed out at the U.S. military for causing civilian casualties in its raids. But behind the scenes, he has been building a far broader case against the Americans, suggesting that they may have aided or conducted shadowy insurgent-style attacks to undermine his government, according to senior Afghan officials.
Karzai has formalized his suspicions with a list of dozens of attacks that he believes the U.S. government may have been involved in, according to one palace official. The list even includes the recent bomb and gun assault on a Lebanese restaurant in Kabul, one of the bloodiest acts targeting the international community in Afghanistan, the official said. The attack, which left 21 people dead, including three Americans, was almost universally attributed to the Taliban."

Only in the past couple of years have the rise of digital networks really facilitated the internationalisation of press... Not only are consumers reading online newspapers in growing numbers, but interestingly, their primary online newspaper is increasingly likely to be based in a country other than their own.
Connectedness, as the merging and integration of technology, people, global communities, is 'the real world' today... what young generation hasn't had their own paradigm shift to content with over the years - the sexual revolution, post-war modernism, woman's rights, gay rights, the structure of the workplace, informality, the changing structure of the family unit...
Relative to its tiny size, its social media reach has rapidly become enormous. The BNP Facebook page currently has over 152,000 likes, in comparison the Liberal Democrats' page has just over 97,000. Even the Conservatives, the most popular party on Facebook, have only 223,000 likes. What's more, the BNP's Facebook presence is growing far more rapidly than that of other political parties.
Three weeks on - and thanks to a predictably complicated insurance policy - I find myself still without a mobile phone. The period of mourning has passed, as has the twitchiness of empty hand syndrome, leaving me on the other side of a techy black hole so pleasant, I'm considering quitting this mobile phone malarkey forever. Or at least for a little bit longer.
When I'm speaking to my friends who are also women in the sport industry, we often find ourselves reflecting that we work in a sector that's predominantly male. It's not a new realisation. And it's not surprising. Sometimes it's a rant, sometimes it's a complaint, and other times it's just an observation of a meeting we had where we were the only woman in the room, or at an event where very few women were present.
In late 2015, internet users in Britain who have illegally downloaded or streamed videos could go to their letterboxes and find something far worse than junk mail: a warning from their Internet Services Providers (ISPs) related to their dodgy activity -- every freeloading web junkie's worst nightmare.
I never realised how much digital memorabilia one acquires during a long-lasting relationship until the moment I had to face it all and decide what to do with it: long threads of texts and WhatsApp messages, Facebook exchanges, Twitter comments, long emails, not to mention endless photos and selfies on Instagram or in the Camera Roll...
Breaking news used to be just that: hard news, a big story that had just happened. Today rolling 24/7 TV news shows need their yellow ticker to contain something all the time. They're no longer content to have no ticker when there's nothing to say. The ticker has become a roundup of all stories breaking or not. Where do they go from here? What happens when there is some real breaking news?
As a mischievous teenager I was berated by my grandmother for showing too much chutzpah. I believe she was using the original meaning of the popular Yiddish phrase - insolence. She'd be amused to think that it's now a word we use to shower praise on someone with the confidence and desire to get things done by strength of will and inventive interpretation of the rules.
If ever there was a sign of the changing nature of British enterprise, it was the recent publication of the CBI's new 'Creative Nation' report. Here was the UK's premier business organisation, traditionally associated with manufacturing industry, throwing its considerable weight behind the far less tangible businesses of computer games, rock bands, books and movies.
Mums and dads of wannabe writers, encourage your darlings to sharpen their pens, read newspapers, blog, tweet and watch late-night showings of All The President's Men, The Front Page and Five-Star Final (hunt it down, it's brilliantly nasty). They may not end up changing the world but I'm fairly confident that journalism will soon be more lucrative than it is now. And it'll save them from investment banking.

I LOVE the theatre. Half my degree at University was theatre based. I enjoy the experience of pretty much any type of performance just as I love going to exercise my critical appreciation. And I am really loving passing this on to Munchkin. I am lucky we live in London. There are so many venues with so many shows aimed just at her age group that we really are spoilt for choice. Today, we took her to see Rapunzel at The Watermans in Brentford and it was great fun.
I love taking kids to the theatre. I've been to so many performances with students, for exams, for extra-curricular activities, and just for fun. The first children's theatre I visited in London was the Little Angel Theatre when I took my niece to see a puppet show, long before Munchkin was even a serious thought. We saw a production of The Elves and the Shoemaker and it was excellent.
Munchkin first went to the theatre aged 2. We went to see a performance called Rip Fold Scrunch at the Polka theatre in Wimbledon. The Polka theatre is a great day out. It has a cafe, a playground, a nature trail, dressing up, books and various things to play with and that's before you've even been to the theatre. They have a massive range of shows all targeted at particular ages. Their pre-school things are put on in their studio space and so the kids don't have to sit still and quiet or be a traditional theatre audience; and in all the performances we've seen there, there has been an interactive section at the end – that's where Munchkin made the cat mask that you see in the attached photo.
A few weeks ago, a friend and I took our girls to The Watermans for the first time. It's crazy that we haven't been there before as it really is round the corner. The school I work at even have the students' film festival there every year! (Talk about ignoring what's on your doorstep.) Anyway, we took the girls to see The Enormous Turnip by Stuff and Nonsence Theatre company. It was great fun. Really well targeted for it's audience. It is a 'proper' theatre and the lights go down during the performance and such-like, but it is so engaging that Munchkin and her friend sat, pretty much un-moving, for the whole 50minute performance. They were spell bound.
Today's performance of Rapunzel was a little more 'arty' than The Enormous Turnip had been and had an appeal for older children too. It was a version of the story with a deep moral thread. There was no witch, no magic and Rapunzel's hair cutting was her own choice when she out grew the protective nature of her Nan – the over-protective, mother-figure who had built the tower to keep herself and Rapunzel safe from a world which didn't like her because she was different.
It may sound like this story was too much for a 3.5 year old, but Munchkin was spell bound. The actors were engaging and the storyline simple to engage with on a range of levels. There was dancing and music and agian it was only 50minutes long so it didn't require sitting for too long!
Rapunzel is by a touring company called Tutti-Fruiti and I'd really recommend checking out their website to find out if there's a venue near you. The Enormous Turnip is also still out on tour. Click here to see if it's coming near you.
We often talk about me-time on More than a Mum and I find that sharing my loves and passions with Munchkin is a great way to combine me-time and family time. By taking Munchkin to the theatre I am engaging her, I am educating her and she is having a brilliant day out, and yet I am also doing something which is special and enjoyable for me. #bestofbothworlds

You're so right, theatre with children is a fun experience all round. We love the Polka too, especially the studio space where children sit on the floor and can roll around if they want to! There are often fun things going on at Battersea Arts Centre too. Aren't we lucky to be in London?
I do miss being in a big town for theatre trips. Kids see local Christmas plays but have to travel to see big shows. Lucky you!

Want to Join the USO Tour?
Since the USO's inception, thousands of celebrities have boosted the morale of troops.
What better way to show them we care, than by traveling to the Persian Gulf on a USO tour and rocking out America's soldiers. The USO has a rich history of delivering a touch of home to our men and women in uniform, and Saving Abel is honored to be a part of that legacy.
Saving Abel
Playing our music on the front lines and in front of thousands of America's troops is an opportunity of a lifetime. We've toured all around the world, but nothing compares to what we've seen on our USO tour. Being able to hear first-hand what it's like to live in a combat zone and get a true sense of what it means to protect and serve, it is truly amazing.

From Rosenberg to Carrollton to Tilden, many UFOs can be seen flying, hovering and disappearing over Texas skies each week. NEWS 92 FM has scoured the files of the Mutual UFO Network to bring you the following dispatches:
A resident here witnessed two UFOs as she went to let her dogs into the house around 11 p.m. on February 10th. "I noticed towards the southwestern sky very bright objects," she said. One is described as large, bright orange, while the second was yellow. Both were diamond shaped. Although the event was slightly obscured by a "very foggy night," the eyewitness said a dull gray object descended above Rosenberg upon the disappearance of the two UFOs, floating like a leaf, she said.
Video: Are Aliens Dynamo Fans? Orange UFOs Spotted in Cypress, Across Texas
A stargazer enjoying the stars on Valentine's Day witnesses an unusual event as two UFOs flank the constellation Canis Major. The eyewitness, who was throwing away garbage around midnight, said he was stunned to see two diamond-shaped lights around the top of the constellation when they moved in tandem after appearing to be unknown stars. They moved together, as if lights of a much larger craft, before disappearing after 15 seconds.
An overnight worker reports bright orange UFOs hovering above Tilden for over 20 minutes. The lights, which were flying 50 to 100 feet above the ground, may have been part of a rotating object, the eyewitness theorized. No noise was reported. Upon disappearing, however, the lights reappeared above a drilling ring about 10 miles west of the man, who saw them for about 15 seconds before it disappeared.
A much larger orange light hovered above the rig for another 10 seconds before fading away. For the grand finale, a dim orange light about 20 miles away climbed in elevation before disappearing.
The lights, he said, seemed to be followed by two aircraft. Both Kelly and Lackland Air Force Bases are nearby, he said.
Photos: Texas UFO Sightings
"The planes made a about a 50 mile loop and returned in the direction they came," he said. "Not sure if their presence was related."
A truck driver in the area confirmed his sighting, asking if he'd "seen any UFOs" an hour earlier.

Traffic was re-routed for nearly 2 hours on Thursday after a crash on Interstate 29.
It happened near the Davis exit, near the union-Lincoln county line.
The highway patrol says a pickup traveling southbound was clipped by a semi that was trying to pass the pickup.
The semi lost control and jack-knifed, blocking the southbound lanes.
A passenger in the pickup was thrown from the vehicle and is in serious but stable condition.
Both drivers have minor injuries.
Southbound traffic was re-routed on a three mile detour for two hours.

Excellent. I made this once as written, but I thought the texture of the chicken kind of disappeared into the texture of the bulgur. The next time I replaced the chicken with 2 (15 oz) cans of chickpeas and it was so much better. Also I used 50% less fat French feta and used twice as much. Extra parsley is really good with this also. Brought it to a potluck and it got RAVES!

I love this recipe. Thinking of attempting a Mexican version next. It does make a LOT, though; I often halve it or take some to a friend. Great for picnics!

This was great! It was a huge hit. I cut the recipe in half and it still made a ton.
TheGonzoGourmet Posted: 06/20/11
This is my favorite summertime party recipe when cooking for a crowd. It's easy and feeds so many! If you've got vegetarians on your party list, just keep the chicken separate and let carnivores add it themselves.

Delicious. Half a recipe makes a lot, but it keeps really well.

LiveUPDATE: Poole council backs transit sites for travellers
This live event has finished
- Councillors will be asked to approve the sites at Marshes End, Creekmoor, and land north of the B&Q car park, Broadstone Way at a meeting tonight
- They will also be asked to authorise a planning application to enable the borough to establish these temporary stopping places by the summer.
- The council estimates it will cost £175,000 to construct the site at Marshes End, and up to £70,000 at Broadstone Way.
- Last October Borough of Poole held a summit to try to find solutions to the perceived traveller problem, where it was agreed to explore the transit site option
- We have allowed comments but please be aware: Any reference to gypsies or any racially offensive term, or any comment inciting violence or hatred is in breach of our terms and conditions and will result in your account being suspended without notice. Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers are legally recognised as ethnic groups, and protected by the Race Relations Act. Please keep your comments to this particular incident and do not generalise. Thanks for your co-operation.
The meeting is officially over .
The proposal has been carried with 23 members voting in favour, 12 against and two abstentions.
Tense chamber
The members are now voting on the main issue
Cllr Brooke says without a temporary stoping place he council will be "playing cat and mouse" week after week around the borough.
Cllr Mike Brooke says it is very clear that "this council must do something, and do something now." He says the police support the move to have temporary stopping places. "Clearly, doing nothing is not an option."
He says it is probably the worse proposal he's seen since being a councillor.
Cllr Rampton says this is "an insane" proposal. He says crime rate do increase when travellers are in the area.
Many of the people who were asked to wait in the lobby because there wasn't room in the main chamber are still out there.
Members of the public are shouting about fly tipping at the sites over the summer.
Cllr Xena Dion says there was about 400 calls about travellers taken by the council last year, about unauthorised sites.
He says he believes some of the travellers this year came to Poole on their holidays.
But Cllr Clements says Poole residents do not want travellers on the town's recreation grounds, nor at Whitecliff. He says travellers could be moved quickly from public places if the temporary stopping places were backed.
Cllr Brian Clements has called for members of the travelling community to not be stigmatised.
Cllr Atkinson is being heckled by the crowds. She is saying the council must represent all the people of Poole.
Councillors are voting on the amendment
The debate has now returned to the main issue of the evening.
The amendment has not be backed by the council.
Councillors are voting on the amendment
The amendment also calls for the £35,000 funding, that it would cost to maintain the temporary stopping sites annually to be used to protect vulnerable sites in Poole.
This amendment also calls for a delegation from Poole to be appointed to continue negotiations to deliver the required law change to acscertain a shared Dorset-wide transit site.
Councillor John Rampton has tabled an amendment calling for the 'status quo' of gypsy and traveller provision in Poole to be maintained.
Cllr Butt also says if the temporary stoping site was ever full to capacity, the police would not be able to move on any more travellers. She said: 'The funds could be better used.' This was met with loud applause.
She also says he cost to the council tax payer has not been properly scrutinised.
Cllr Butt says she wishes to support the move, but residents she represents says there has been no real consultation on the issue.
He also has called for a full cost analysis of the site to be implemented.
Cllr Rampton has called for meaningful consultation with Poole residents
Cllr John Rampton is speaking.
Cllr White says the Creekmoor site does have low levels of methane contamination, but that council officers maintain this is 'not an issue'.
Cllr says the two sites meet all the requirements, including not being near residential properties. This was met with loud laughter from members of the public gathered.
Deputy leader councillor Mike White is speaking about how the council got to this point, to consider temporary stopping places.
Prayers have been said and minutes of the last council meeting noted.
People are being told they may not address councillors, as this is not a public meeting.
The meeting has just started.
Every vantage point is being used by residents who have turned out for tonight's special meeting:
The meeting should have started more than 10 minutes ago.
About 200 members of the public are here now. There are calls from people to adjourn the meeting, as people are still being asked to leave the main chamber. They're saying the council should have got a bigger room.
Security guards are moving members of the public who have sat in the councillors' seats. Tensions are growing here.
Even the balcony area above the main doors is packed out.
One member of the public has just shouted 'you should have got a bigger room'. It could be a tricky meeting to chair.
Dreaded health and safety apparently.
Members of the public standing at the back of the chamber have been told there is not enough room, and could they go outside to the lobby where chairs have been placed.
We could be looking at more than 150 members of the public in the main chamber now. Ad people are still arriving.
It looks like it is going to be a case of standing room only for members of the public.
Only a few minutes to the start of the meeting. Council leader Elaine Atkinson has just arrived.
Members of the public are queuing to get into the main chamber now. Looks like well over 120 people.
The two public galleries either side of the main chamber are full to capacity. There are around 100 people here now.
Here's a picture of some of the Creekmoor residents who have turned out for the meeting tonight:
Creekmoor ward councillor Judy Butt has arrived in the chamber
A significant number of the people attending are Creekmoor residents.
About 50 members of the public have already arrived for the meeting. The Councillors should arrive in the main chamber in about 10 minutes
Tonight councillors will be asked to approve the sites at Marshes End, Creekmoor, and land north of the B&Q car park, Broadstone Way
While we wait for Jim to begin live coverage from the meeting, here's some background reading for you:
- Public meeting over Poole traveller site attracts nearly 200 residents ahead of crucial council decision

The New Jersey Devils were faced with an all too familiar situation Thursday night. They trailed the Buffalo Sabres with 10 minutes remaining in regulation and stared down it's first seven-game losing streak in 27 years.
The newest moment of adversity would test the character that the players and others in the organization said would lead them out of the streak.
Adam Henrique responded first with a power-play goal to bring New Jersey within one. Patrik Elias struck next, tying the game with just over a minute remaining in regulation. David Clarkson followed that up, scoring the game-winning shootout goal on Ryan Miller to help New Jersey defeat the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2, at the Prudential Center.
The loss snapped a six-game losing streak for the Devils and kept them one point ahead of the suddenly hot New York Rangers. They remain seventh in the Eastern Conference, one point behind the sixth-place Ottawa Senators.
"We needed it. A little bit of relief," DeBoer said. "Our guys deserved two points. It's been a while coming. It's been a battle."
Johan Hedberg broke his personal eight-game losing streak, stopping 23 of 25 shots during regulation and overtime. He stopped both Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville for his first shootout win of the season.
"Moose is the heart and soul of this team," Clarkson said. "He's a guy in my opinion that, every year, is one of the hardest working and he's a leader in this room, whether he's playing or not. We've got to turn this thing around for this team, but for him as well. He deserved it."
Vanek and Brian Flynn scored for Buffalo, who have dropped three straight games (0-2-1). Jhonas Enroth, making his third start of the season, stopped 27 of 29 shots before leaving with an injury in the third period. Miller, appearing in his 15th straight game, allowed two goals in the shootout.
New Jersey climbed back from a 2-0 hole to tie the game in the third period.
Henrique put the Devils on the board with a power-play goal at 13:30 of the final period. Ilya Kovalchuk kept a bouncing puck in at the left point, chipping it to the side boards. Henrique took the loose puck and skated into the right circle. Mike Weber blocked his first shot, but left the puck for Henrique near the hash mark. He didn't miss a second time, beating Enroth glove side for his seventh goal of the season.
Elias tied the game with 1:06 remaining in regulation. Hedberg just reached the Devils bench for an extra attacker when Andy Greene received a cross-ice pass from Marek Zidlicky near the bench. He tapped the puck up to Clarkson, who took two strides and crossed the Buffalo blue line. Enroth made a save on his point shot, but the rebound went off his stick and right to Elias in the right circle. The Devils left wing fired the puck into the open net for his seventh goal of the season.
"You hope, during the course of the year, you get a handful of those that go your way," DeBoer said of the extra-man goal. "I think we were due for a bounce. That's the bottom line. We've been working here for a week or two, and I think we've played some pretty good hockey and haven't got it. We got one tonight."
"We didn't panic," Henrique said. "We were getting chances. It's bound to go in sooner or later. We battled back hard there, and Patty had the big one at the end."
It almost went for nothing. Pominville had the best scoring chance of overtime, ringing a right circle shot off the post with under a minute left. During the losing streak, those shots seemed to go in each time. Tonight, the Devils received the bounce it needed.
"I knew it wasn't in," Hedberg said. "I saw the water mark on the post. It was right up in the curve of the crossbar, and it bounced right back to me. I needed that break."
Clarkson scored in the second round of the shootout, faking a shot to Miller's five hole before putting the puck to his backhand and shooting past the goalie's blocker. Elias ended it in the third round, forcing Miller to lay out before easily sliding it into an open net.
"Unbelievable," Elias jokingly told Inside Hockey about his shootout goal. "I went from the left side in. Good fake, early fake, and he kind of bit on it. I'm a little surprised I had that much net open there."
New Jersey, who led the league with 12 shootout wins last season, earned its first of the season. The Devils had lost its previous three shootouts.
Buffalo struck first, with the league's worst power play giving the Sabres a lead in the second period. Tyler Ennis emerged from a scrum in the corner and skated along the goal line. He found a wide open Vanek in the slot, and the Sabres left wing blasted a one-timer past the stick of Johan Hedberg for his 13th goal of the season.
It was the eighth straight game New Jersey allowed the first goal.
Flynn scored his first career NHL goal to push Buffalo's lead to 2-0 early in the third period. Andrej Sekera's shot from the right point was blocked in front, but the puck came to Flynn near the of the right circle. His shot deflected off the stick of Elias and into through the pads of Hedberg.
Down by two, New Jersey stuck found a way to stick with the plan and hold Buffalo off the board.
"When we got in the 2-0 hole, we kept our game," DeBoer said. "We didn't open it up and give them the third goal. We hung around and found a way to tie it up at the end."
Enroth looked poised to blank New Jersey in his third start of the season. In the first period, the Sabres backup goalie denied Elias from the slot. Kovalchuk led the rush, carrying the puck over the blue line before finding Henrique in the left circle. Enroth stopped Henrique's initial shot, but left a rebound in the slot. Elias looked to have an open net, but Enroth slid to his left and snatched the shot with his glove.
He shut down Henrique in the second period, kicking away his shot from the left hash mark.
Enroth also stopped Clarkson on a point-blank opportunity late in the second period. Henrique grabbed a rebound from a point shot in the left circle and sent a backhand pass to the right circle. Clarkson skated in and shot the puck, but Enroth slid over and denied him with his glove.
"We were pushing, we had chances," Henrique said. "Guys kept pushing, kept battling. We came in after the second [period], and we knew what we needed to do."
With half the season already over, Clarkson acknowledged the Devils need to string wins together.
"It's nice. I don't think it changes too much," he said. "We had to battle back there a lot, and we're going to have to come out next game. But it's definitely a good feelings when you get those two points and the win."
Game Notes
Tom Kostopoulous made his season and Devils debut tonight. Claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday, the right wing played with Stephen Gionta and Ryan Carter for most of the game.
"We were just keeping it pretty simple," he told Inside Hockey playing with Carter and Gionta in his debut. "We didn't want to turn it over at either blue line, getting the puck deep and trying to work it down low in the other team's end."
Travis Zajac and Ennis threw punches after a whistle with under a minute left in overtime. They were each assessed two minute minor penalties and not allowed to participate in the shootout.
"Just a battle in front, I guess," Zajac said of the tussle with Ennis. "He threw a punch at me, and I went back at him a little bit."
New Jersey won it's first shootout game of the season, breaking a tie with the Calgary Flames for last in the league in shootout wins.
Henrique has scored goals in three of four games. Two of the three have come on special teams (one shorthanded goal, one power-play goal).

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
A friend of mine was just commenting on how when we first played WoW we didn't have any fancy-pants in-game quest helpers. When the Quest giver told you to bring him the Gem Of Something, he told you it was "just south west of a big rock". And you had to go SW of a big rock to find it. No, 'X' to mark the spot. And you never really knew juts how far SW you had to go.
And if you didn't familiarize yourself with maps, ANYTHING could be right around the corner from a tribe of ogres to a friendly campsite of allies.
Things were harder, and also much more frustrating. But, in a lot of way, more satisfying, too.

Doctor Who: The Pirate Loopby Simon Guerrier
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brillant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive? The Doctor is skittish. But if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few day before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves... Soon the Doctor learns the awful truth. And Martha learns that you need to be careful what you wish for. She certainly wasn't hoping for mayhem, death, and badger-faced space pirates!
What the Doctor doesn't know about the Starship Brilliant could mean disaster for him and Martha - the latest in the bestselling series of Doctor Who novels.

Field Dressing a squirrelBy
Field Dressing a Squirrel
*WARNING: This article contains graphic images of an actual squirrel being processed. If you are easily offended by images such as these please skip this section.
In today's world of excess and over indulgence, finding our next meal takes very little thought, effort, or time. The hunter-gatherer skills associated with hunting and preparing our own food fades away a little with each new generation. These important skills helped our ancestors to survive for centuries but today, they are almost nonexistent.
What if something were to happen that required the needed to utilize these fading skills? Maybe you just want to learn something new or find an alternate way to field dress a squirrel? In this article I will teach you how to field dress a squirrel quickly and with little mess.
There are numerous ways you can use for field dressing a squirrel. The method you use could be due to preference or what you were taught in the past, but before you stop reading, review the concepts below and see if this is more efficient and cleaner than the way you currently clean your squirrels. If you are new to the sport, this is a simple way to learn to clean them as well.
This is the method that I personally have found to be the cleanest and most efficient technique. This process will also not destroy the hide, just in case you choose to have it preserved or tanned for future use.
The Process:
Step 1: Turn the squirrel on its belly and cut through the underside of the tail about ½" to 1" from the base.
Step 2: After you have cut completely through the tail, slice through the skin a an inch or so on each side. A very sharp knife makes this much easier.
Step 3: Lay the squirrel down on a solid surface (such as the ground). Grab the back legs and place your foot (applying enough pressure so it does not slip) on the tail and the skin that you had opened up in the previous step and pull straight up with the back legs, firmly and smoothly.
This will begin to pull the hide from the body. As you are pulling up you will need to "work out" the back legs. Firmly work your fingers between the muscle and the hide around each leg to free them.
Once you have worked the back legs free, continue to pull the back legs straight up "peeling" the skin down towards the head.
Step 4: As you get to the front legs you will need to "work them free" in the same fashion as you did with the back legs. Once both front legs are out, continue to pull the back legs until the hide is up to the head and around the neck.
Remove the head by slicing through the meat around the neck and then snapping the bone with your hands. *Note: It is not recommended to cut through bone with your knife. It dulls your knife quickly and can also create little shards of bone in your meat. Use the same process around the "ankles" and remove all feet.
Step 5: To remove the entrails, pinch the stomach and make a small slit with your knife to open up the body cavity.
Step 6: Insert two fingers into the slit and run your knife between them (cutting edge up) toward the neck of the squirrel. Doing it this way gives a little clearance so that your knife doesn't accidentally penetrate any of the entrails such as the bowels or bladder. Cutting open the bowels or bladder can taint your meat so be very careful with this step. Continue this motion through the center of the rib cage all the way through the neck.
Step 7: Split the pelvic bone in the center to open up the entire middle of the squirrel. You can easily do this with your knife as the bone is thin here. Just place the knife in the center of the pelvis and slice into it. It isn't very hard and should split rather easily.
Pull out the entrails. There is a membrane that encases the chest cavity separately. By sweeping two fingers from the neck down and catching this membrane you can pull everything out in one fluid motion.
You keep the heart and liver to prepare with the rest of the squirrel if you wish and discard the remaining entrails. You now have a perfectly dressed squirrel that can be prepared to eat in a variety of ways.
Authors NOTE
**One last note before you toss everything out. It is a good idea to inspect the liver and other organs to make sure it looks nice and healthy. The liver should always be a rich, deep, solid red color. An off-color or spotted liver might be an indication that the animal has some health problems–in which case you should not eat it.
Here is a photo of an absolutely perfect liver–a sign of a very healthy squirrel:
Here is another viewpoint for cleaning a squirrel in this manner. I'm not sure where this diagram comes from but it looks very old (and looks like Ronald McDonald was doing it.. what's with those shoes??) and I figured I'd share it with you.
Some people prefer to soak the field dressed squirrel overnight in either a solution of salt and water or in Buttermilk. Some people say it takes some of the "gamey" taste out of the meat. Personally, I like when my squirrel tastes like squirrel but feel free to experiment and see what works best for you.
That's it! Take your time until you get comfortable with the process describe here and enjoy cooking or grilling your squirrel.

As the April deadline approaches for European policymakers to decide whether to extend the Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) to international operators again, a significant step has been taken in the opposite direction.
EU Allowances
Despite an apparent historic consensus at the ICAO Triennial Assembly in Montreal in early October to develop a global market-based mechanism for managing aircraft emissions, the European Commission (EC) has pressed ahead with plans to implement its emissions trading scheme (ETS) in the meantime.
Small airlines face the prospect of fines for failing to meet the European Union's April 30 deadline for submitting carbon credits under the emissions trading scheme (ETS), according to carbon trading specialist CF Partners. Although the European Commission agreed last November to suspend the application of ETS for flights to and from points outside the EU, the cap-and-trade scheme still applies to flights between EU airports.
Jet Aviation expanded its management support service offerings to help aircraft owners and operators comply with the upcoming April 30 deadline for emissions allowances under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. All operators that are required to surrender emission allowances must open a union registry account in their appointed member state and submit the allowances by the deadline or face penalties. Jet Aviation is providing union registry account opening and administration services to help operators comply with the regulations and avoid non-compliance fines.
Some business aviation and smaller airline operators are facing the prospect of fines for failing to meet the European Union's April 30 deadline for submitting carbon credits under the emissions trading scheme (ETS), according to carbon trading specialist CF Partners.
ETS is still in full force for all flights between airports in the 27 European Union states, and also in the so-called European Economic Area (also including Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) as well as Switzerland and Croatia. The European Commission has made it clear that non-European operators will still be required to complete the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) process for carbon dioxide emissions from intra-European flights. They will also be required to submit carbon credits covering these emissions. Legal opinion seems to be in agreement that the new U.S.
President Barack Obama closed the legislative loop on U.S. refusal to comply with the European Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS) on November 27, when he signed S.1956, legislation that orders the Secretary of Transportation to prohibit U.S. aircraft operators from participating in the carbon tax plan. The legislation also calls for the government "to conduct international negotiations to pursue a worldwide approach to address aircraft emissions."
The business aviation lobby broadly welcomed the European Commission's sudden suspension of the application of its controversial emissions trading scheme (ETS) for flights in and out of the European Union (EU). The move seems to head off the immediate threat of a trade war with major powers such as the U.S., China, Russia, India and Japan but, significantly, ETS will still apply to intra-EU flights, regardless of whether or not the operators involved are based in the EU.
The airline lobby has broadly welcomed last week's sudden announcement by the European Commission that it would suspend the application of its emissions trading scheme (ETS) for flights in and out of the European Union. However, European airlines have protested the fact that the ETS will still apply to intra-EU flights, arguing that the exception poses an anti-competitive cost burden that most non-EU operators will not now have to carry.
The European Commission (EC) has backed down in the face of mounting political pressure, announcing that it will suspend its requirement for non-European Union aircraft operators to comply with its emissions trading scheme (ETS).

International law is "[t]he legal system governing the relationships between nations; more modernly, the law of international relations, embracing not only nations but also such participants as international organizations and individuals (such as those who invoke their human rights or commit war crimes)." (Black's Law Dictionary 9th edition)
If you are looking for foreign law (the law of another country, as opposed to international law), the best place to start is the Foreign Law Guide.
If you're a student who's trying to pick a topic in international law for a seminar or note, considering reviewing the discussions on some of the most popular international law blogs and current awareness sites like Opinio Juris, ASIL Insights, IntLawGrrls, or International Economic Law and Policy Blog.
Citing to International Law
The Bluebook's Rule 21 explains how to cite to international materials. This section provides citation details on treaties, international caselaw, arbitrations, U.N. sources, materials from inter-governmental organizations, yearbooks, digests, and more. Another useful Bluebook section is Table 2 on foreign jurisdictions. The Bluebook is also available online.
For citation help on the web, check out the University of Minnesota's Frequently-Cited Treaties and Other International Instruments, which was written with citation checkers in mind. Another great source is the Guide to Foreign and International Legal Citations [K89 .G85 2009].
For additional insight into United Nations materials, see Citing UN Materials: Issues and Strategies by Cyril Robert Emery, a librarian at the UNCITRAL Law Library.
Finally, EISIL (Electronic Information System for International Law) can also be helpful. Under any source document in EISIL there is "More Information" which includes a field for legal citation. The legal citation in EISIL for the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties is a good example of several possible citation sources for this document.

Tech, humor, video games, and nuance by David Chartier—Content Strategist, Freelance Writer, Tech Distiller, and proprietor of Finer Things in Tech
My new standing desk isn't doing too bad. Of course, when I need to record audio for screencasts or plug in just about anything, I need to switch back to the regular desk. But this might hold me over until I can get something like this or go all-out with this and a treadmill.
Why get a standing desk, you ask? Because sitting all day while we work is literally killing us. And no, exercising for a few minutes each day doesn't help.
I'm going to have to ask my doctor about this.
While we're all dimly aware that we take a lot of pills, we have no intuition for how big the problem is. And when you lay out the stats, the figures are nothing short of terrifying, as this infographic shows.
Olivia Judson brakes down some of the physiological reasons why sitting down for a living is literally bad for humans, and why being a regular at the gym isn't enough.

Cubs 101 - Pt. 70 - 0 and 6: a Tale of Two Post Seasons
The Playoff Cubs -- it could've been the team's nickname after Chicago made consecutive post season trips for the first time in 100 years. But while one of the two occurred with no expectations, the other was one of the bitterest disappointments since the Bartman Incident half a decade before. And both exampled the problems that the Cubs will continue to deal with any time they reach the post season.
In '07, as we highlighted earlier, the Cubs were dead-to-the-neck-up when they turned around and played some of the hottest baseball in the land. As the season drew to a close, Chicago entered the playoffs with a 85 wins and were set to take on the unimpressive-but-solid Arizona Diamondbacks. It pretty much unfolded as you'd expect, with offensive struggles, managerial mishaps, and petty celebrations.
Carlos Zambrano, four years removed from his last trip to the playoffs (when he suffered some beat-downs), started Game One of the '07 playoffs for the Cubs. He pitched 6 innings of 4-hit, 1-walk, 8 strikeout baseball, and with 85 pitches on his tally Lou decided to yank him "for game four."
Carlos was supported by, well, not much of any kind of offense. The Cubs managed only 1 run, and when Carlos Marmol imploded in the 7th the D-Backs never looked back. The Cubs followed up Game One by scoring 4 runs in Game Two, with the latter 2 getting scored long after the game had already been decided (not to mention Ted Lilly got his ass handed to him). Then, in Game 3, Arizona scored 5 runs to the Cubs 1 (thanks for nothing, Rich Hill) and that was all she wrote.
Think about it. The nearly unbeatable-since-June Cubs averaged 2 runs per game, saw their best pitchers -- except Carlos -- get their asses kicked, watched their untouchable bullpen -- including Marmol -- get handled, and suddenly Lou started talking about the pressure in Chicago.
And sure, there is a lot of pressure in a Chicago Cubs playoff game. The fans are desperate for a win, they're terrified of a meltdown, and they'll go from booming with joy to silent as ghosts in a heartbeat. And the players, let's be honest, the players have got to feel it. Lou says they feel it, they say they feel it, and thus the term "playing tight" gets thrown around. And that was just in the playoff series where expectations were low.
The following year, the Cubs were the winningest team in the National League. They had the best offense in baseball and one of the best rotations, and their first round opponents were the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That year, despite Carlos being a no-hit pitching gawd, Lou decided that Ryan Dempster would pitch Game One. After all, he'd been way, way more reliable and consistent in '08. Dempster responded by dropping a turd, particularly in the 5th inning when he gave up 4, the accumulation of 7 walks and 4 hits. The Dodgers proceeded to nickle and dime the Cubs bullpen.
But no worries! In Game Two, Carlos took the mound. And his outing wasn't so bad, except for the 2nd inning when the Cubs suffered a total defensive meltdown. They saw errors from Derrek Lee and Mark DeRosa, and later in the game had errors committed by Ryan Theriot and Aramis Ramirez.
This meltdown led to 10 runs scored by the Dodgers, and in Game 3 the Cubs were ghosts, holding the Dodgers to 3 runs but scoring only 1. In other words, for the second straight year, the Cubs were swept, they averaged 2 runs a game, and they exited early.
So, that has been the legacy of Lou Piniella and Jim Hendry's Chicago Cubs. 183 wins over 2 years, but an 0-6 record in the playoffs. These days, a lot of Cub fans wonder if the team can even remotely come close to winning the World Series ... or even reaching it. Maybe the Ricketts family will bring a new, better mentality to the team.

A new publication, Comparing Drug Testing and Self-Report of Drug Use among Youths and Young Adults in the General Population, provides data comparing the accuracy of self-reported drug use with actual drug tests for tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs.
The drug tests revealed that most persons age 12 to 25 reported their recent drug use accurately to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
The publication, from SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies (OAS), is available for download on the OAS Web site at www.oas.samhsa.gov/validity/drugTest.pdf.
