A Note on Income Distribution and Growth
AbstractMany analysts expect the aging population to lead to a reduction in the growth of living standards. Income inequality – a problem that has been accentuated by the payroll tax hikes that were necessary to fund the public pension as the population ages – is becoming an increasing challenge at the same time. As a result, policy-makers need to pursue initiatives that can simultaneously address both our efficiency and our equity objectives. With the challenge of the aging population, it is all the more important that we not rely on fiscal policies that involve a trade-off between growth and equality. This paper identifies a strategy for tax policy that meets these objectives.

frau_woThis review was translated. See the original review here.
Always worth a visit - day or night! Super nice personnel!
Great after-hour cafe and awesome hangover breakfast! Between some time at night and 6am you can order beer and smoke everywhere - starting 6am you won't be able to do that anymore so time your visit, if it's an after hour visit ;)
Cool cafe with free wifi (!!) and DJ - but can be super smoky at times since they have a pretty large smoking area. Try to stay in the upper area near the entrance, that's non-smoking! ;-)

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics are great for sensitive eyes, too. Since EVERY product is pure minerals and natural pigments, the eye shadows and mascaras are much less likely to irritate the delicate eye area!

Public service reminder: extreme political positions can make you stupid
UK to launch anti-terror 'stop it, we don't like it' campaign
UK to launch anti-terror 'stop it, we don't like it' campaign
Hey Rapists! Stop Raping
Compare and contrast people:
First, tax cheats are bad people.
Tax cheats steal from us all. Every dollar they save in tax from these tricks is a dollar we have to pay, borrow, or cut – a dollar we don't get to spend on schools, hospitals and state houses. The government should make these companies pay their fair share. And if the present government refuses to do so, because they are on the side of the tax cheats, we should elect one that will.
And he's right. That money you save by aiding and abetting a tradeperson's tax fraud? That's money that would normally go to schools, hospitals, and public services. You might as well be going down there and smashing some windows yourself.
So, I support this campaign: people should pay what they owe, and not commit tax fraud.
Goff's statement that
No one knows exactly how much is lost by people dodging their tax – but it's been estimated in the billions.
is carrying an awful lot of weight here.
Like Goff, I want to see those loopholes closed and that avoidance stopped. People should pay their fair share, and those who don't are cheats and parasites
This is the cost of having great chunks of our economy owned by foreign tax cheats: not only do the profits go offshore, but they do so in ways which rob the government of revenue, and therefore us of public services.
Got the idea? Avoiding paying your taxes to a sovereign government, even if you what you have done to do so is completely legal makes you an evil person(tm).
Now this week National announced that they will be arresting people who had cheated the New Zealand government out of it's revenue. We're talking people who have moved overseas to maximize their incomes, but owe the government money, but have made no effort whatsoever to pay.
You'd think that this sort of crack down would be music to the ears of someone so worried about New Zealand's tax base. I mean, these people aren't structuring their affairs to keep the money off-shore, (which is perfectly legal) they actually have signed agreements with the New Zealand government to pay the money. Yet in spite of having signed contracts, the government has offered to negotiate and that offer has been treated with contempt.
In other words, the morality of this situation is pretty one-sided.
So Idiot would be really happy to see the government announce it's taking this "threat to government revenue" so seriously. Yea right:
And what National's policy will do is make sure they can never come home ever again. They can't come home for christmas, because they'll be arrested. If a New Zealand family member gets sick, they'll have to choose between their family and their freedom. They won't be able to come home for funerals. All of that is inhumane, vindictive and punitive, but it gets worse: they won't be able to do business here, because they'll be arrested. And they won't even be able to move back home, because if they come back for a job interview, the government will throw them in jail.
Here's my take: you cheat your taxes, you go to jail. You cheat your student loan repayments, you go to jail. (You legally avoid changing your taxes, bad on you – but it's up to the government to change the law.)
In short: cry me a freaking river. If you find yourself unable to return home because you're wanted by the authorities, you should have not broken the law in the first place. If you owe on your student loan, you should talk to the IRD today (ok, not today… perhaps Monday).
Hey, maybe that might have been the point of the law? Gee…
But on the other hand, if people are calling you out for avoiding taxes, just find some way of converting it to a student loan. Because "gaming the system" is ok – because as long as you actually agreed to pay the money, it's a-ok with the left to avoid payment.
Looking through No Right Turn last night, I came across a lot of the usual nonsense. But this one takes the cake – and I'm not even going to talk about how he quotes John Minto (which in itself is a massive fail).
170 houses between 59 MPs is almost three each – and the last those MPs will want is to see the value of their major assets drop. So the sorts of policies which would solve the housing crisis – a capital gains tax, or a government building program – are off the table,
…replaced by weak measures like enabling the private sector to fail for a while longer. Its a perfect example of how the interests of the vast majority of New Zealanders are overridden by those of a tiny wealthy elite who are massively over-represented in Parliament.
My Right has taken issue with my post yesterday and missed my point. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the Government's tax policies, if you are in a financial hole you
should stop digging.
But nowadays, it's all the fashion to argue that you should dig and dig and dig. I mean, are there really consequences for deeper holes? Besides, if we stop paying the diggers, they'll be unemployed and that would be bad.
And this is why the economy is failing and economic statistics continuously fall below Treasury projections: because the government is strangling the economy. Its public justification for doing so – fear of higher interest rates – is a myth; there are no "bond vigilantes" punishing governments who borrow when interest rates are low. But they persist in inflicting their zombie economics on us, because anything else would involve admitting they were wrong.
I myself find the old "when in a hole" prescription from No Right Turn to be the correct one. I also find some issues with the latter.
Problem no. 1: is Idiot seriously suggesting that credit downgrades (bought on by reckless spending) won't increase the cost of debt? Outside of the credibility issues of his source we are not the US. People buy our debt if it's priced right for the risk.
Problem no. 2: the government isn't strangling the economy through austerity. Because it's not doing austerity and the economy isn't strangled. I remember the 90's, when National did do austerity The fact we have the incredibly generous (read: wasteful) Working for Families is proof enough that this government has stayed well away from the sort of cuts that would count as austerity.
Problem no. 3: the US has followed the route that Idiot likes. The result has been an increase in debt that dwarfs anything ever seen in the history of the world. But if this approach works, then why does the US have tent cities, and we don't? Why has their economy done the exact opposite of what was predicted?
Fact is, we're in good financial shape. That allows our government to maintain a good level of service while taking on a little debt. The US is not in good shape, but their president doesn't seem to care.
I don't care much for our current government but they are running a good compromise between savage cuts and outlandish spending, and it's working admirably.
Apparently there's a "#FreeJahar" hash tag on twitter, from people who are just convinced that the man arrested in relation to the Boston bombings is innocent.
Now, I grant you this: it may be that the FBI and everyone else involved got it wrong. It may be that the police killed his brother out of spite or something. It may be that the evidence is manufactured. But here's the thing.
We have this process to investigate and test evidence to determine someone's guilt. It's not twitter-based either.
It's called the courts. Yes, they get it wrong sometimes. Yes, they get it badly wrong sometimes. But given the alternatives, let's let this one go through the normal channels, shall we?
Of course, the moral of the story is clear: there are stupid people on twitter. Really, really stupid people.
But you knew that, right?
Oh, and how deep does this stupidity go? Well, I'll tell you.
A few people actually want the elder brother to be freed too. Yes, the dead one.
Not the first time I've seen Attenborough say something so fact-challenged.
Humans are a "plague on the Earth", according to naturalist and documentary-maker David Attenborough.
Attenborough told Britain's Radio Times that humanity must limit population growth or "the natural world will do it for us".
He is of course entitled to believe that. But of course his own continuing existence is evidence that it's not really a genuine belief.
The 86-year-old said human population growth needed to be curbed.
"We keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia; that's what's happening. Too many people there. They can't support themselves – and it's not an inhuman thing to say. It's the case.
Here's where the facts go flying out the window in favour of common misconceptions.
See, according to Wikipedia, the last famine was in 1984-1985. That famine was very well publicised, and it's why everyone associates Ethiopia with famine. So either there's been some famines in Ethiopia that no one's bothered to list on Wikipedia, or there haven't been any serious enough to warrent mention.
But what caused the 80's famine?
The great famine of 1983–5 is often ascribed to drought, and while climatic causes and consequences certainly played a part in the tragedy, it has been shown that widespread drought occurred only some months after the famine was under way.[5] The famines that struck Ethiopia between 1961 and 1985, and in particular the one of 1983–5, were in large part created by government policies, specifically the set of counter-insurgency strategies employed and so-called 'social transformation' in non-insurgent areas.[6][7]
So while the agricultural environment is a challenging one, and there are a great many poor people, the real killer was the government.
Big government – the cause of, and apparently the solution to*, all life's problems.
*Results may vary – wildly.
There are a variety of ways of responding to a massacre of innocent people. This probably ranks up there in the top 10 worst ideas.
The Journal News story includes comments from both sides of the gun-rights debate and presents the data as answering concerns of those who would like to know whether there are guns in their neighborhood. It reports that about 44,000 people in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties are licensed to own a handgun and that rifles and shotguns can be purchased without a permit.It was accompanied online by maps of the results for Westchester and Rockland counties; similar details had not yet been provided by Putnam County. A reader clicking on the maps can see the name and address of each pistol or revolver permit holder. Accompanying text states that inclusion does not necessarily mean that an individual owns a weapon, just who obtained a license.
A gunman killed his mother, drove to an elementary school and massacred 20 first-graders and six adults, then shot himself. All the weapons used were legally owned by his mother.
Some responded by publicizing the home addresses and phone numbers of the reporter who wrote the piece, along with other journalists at the paper and even senior executives of Gannett. Many echoed the idea that publicizing gun permit holders' names is tantamount to accusing them of doing something wrong, comparing the move to publishing lists of registered sex offenders.
But never fear, the journalists in question are ever ready to pat themselves on the back for their courageous decision to publish a massive amount of personal data for ends they themselves probably can't quite articulate.
The Journal News is standing behind the project. It said in the story that it published a similar list in 2006.
"Frequently, the work of journalists is not popular. One of our roles is to report publicly available information on timely issues, even when unpopular," Janet Hasson, president and publisher of The Journal News Media Group, said in an emailed statement. "We knew publication of the database (as well as the accompanying article providing context) would be controversial, but we felt sharing information about gun permits in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings."
Irony no. 1: No doubt quite a number of those gun permits are for people who's job only exists because some people use guns irresponsibly.
Irony no 2: Newspapers can be used irresponsibly too.
Just noticed this on No Right Turn.
Again, the government's reluctance to borrow money – even for investment, even when it is profitable – prevents them from seeing the solutions which are right in front of their eyes
Gee, why wouldn't the government borrow money to purchase an asset and sell it later on for a profit?
Who could possibly object to that?
Yep, that's a real puzzler.
If you don't know who Lena Dunham is, she's the woman (I'll come back to that designation later) who stars in the weird, disturbing and fundamentally misogynistic video encouraging people to vote "first time" with Obama.
NZ Conservative has the video here.
I avoided watching the video for several days, but when I watched it it was exactly what I expected. I showed my wife the other day and she had pretty much the same reaction I did.
I had never heard of Dunham. Watching the video with her name on it, I assumed that it was one of those "well, I'll hate myself for doing this but it'll make me famous" things.
But apparently she's already on TV. I learned this reading the NZ Herald site yesterday in Rebecca Kam's column. (That's the column subtitled "Poking a stick at ladies' issues, pop culture, and other cutting-edge curiosities"**) From this I learned that my desire to lose my dinner is not normal, in fact the real problem is that "sex is fundamentally wrong"*. Yet after telling us this, she apparently still thinks the ad is fantastic, and it's the conservative (and normal person's) reaction that's the real problem. I guess misogyny isn't a "ladies issue".
(Coincidentally, if I were to search for a blog post that contains all those quotes in her column, just how extreme left do you think that blog would be? Last time I went chasing a Herald columnist's quotes I ended up in the Democratic Underground.)
To be fair, finding a New Zealander who hasn't got a balanced view of US politics is like finding a rude New Yorker or a Cantabrian with an EQC claim. Given this, she probably honestly believes that the Republicans will try to ban birth control, and probably believes that Bush was going to introduce the draft in 2004 if it wasn't exposed by the courageous Democratic party.
I thought this writer had the best counterpoint though.
"My first time voting was amazing," Lena Dunham enthuses at the close of her suggestive "First Time" ad endorsing Obama. "It was this line in the sand: first I was a girl, now I was a woman."
Well, maybe we would all be better off if Miss Dunham could be a lady. After all, a lady doesn't publicly gush about losing her virginity, how "you wanna do it with a great guy," with "someone who cares about and really understands women," with "a guy with really beautiful …" (as to a beautiful what, Lena leaves up to our imagination), "someone who cares about whether you get health insurance, and specifically whether you get birth control," or other tasteless schmaltz. And a lady certainly does not try to convince impressionable youth how "super un-cool" it is "not to be ready."
The innuendo-as-political-endorsement gimmick was obviously cooked up to appeal to suggestible college girls with sex on the brain. But Miss Dunham's monologue misses the mark for several reasons, and is likely to backfire with her target audience.
I always thought that it was pretty dumb to think that college age women had sex on the brain. Dumb, insulting and an attitude that could get you (speaking of males of the species) in a wide variety of trouble. Funny thing is, the people you'd get in trouble with in most of those scenarious seem to be the ones who like this ad.
Frankly, Miss Dunham's ad is embarrassing. And it raises the question: just who is Lena Dunham, anyway, to tell us how to lose our virginity or how to vote? Her claim to fame is that she writes and stars in the HBO series "Girls," which Manhattan media blog Gawker accurately summed up as "a television program about the children of wealthy famous people and shitty music and Facebook and how hard it is to know who you are and Thought Catalog and sexually transmitted diseases and the exhaustion of ceaselessly dramatizing your own life while posing as someone who understands the fundamental emptiness and narcissism of that very self-dramatization."
Well, in this context, Miss Dunham's ad looks like merely another exercise in narcissism and self-dramatization. Why should any of us take her seriously? First-time voters can decide for themselves who they want to vote for, without taking cues from some coarse 26-year-old celebrity's self-serving propaganda.
So the answer to "why" appears to be: because she's full of it. She's also a young almost-celebrity with little experience and strong options.
But I repeat myself.
* Of course she was probably talking about conservatives.
** Given this column pokes a stick at conservatives, I guess that makes us cutting-edge eh? Heh.
Today I learned a new word: oikophobia.
Xenophobia is fear of the alien; oikophobia is fear of the familiar: "the disposition, in any conflict, to side with 'them' against 'us', and the felt need to denigrate the customs, culture and institutions that are identifiably 'ours.' " British philosopher Roger Scruton
Here's a good example I saw recently.
So, US Defence Secretary (and war criminal) Leon Panetta wants to station US troops in New Zealand. I have just one question to ask in response: what's in it for us? Because there doesn't actually seem to be any benefit in it for New Zealand. We get to be marked as US "territory", possibly used as a remote venue for torture or other US war crimes, and we get to have our people killed and raped by American soldiers (as happens in e.g. Okinawa). And in exchange, we get to be dragged into their wars. That sounds like a shit deal, and one no proper representative of New Zealand's interests should want any part of.

Hey guys…if Bloomberg orders an evac of all of Queens, WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THERE?
This might finally be the time where I get the number of my cousin in the NYPD (he's a high ranking detective and once told me he could even get me a job) and beg for help.

ONLA Legislative Issues & Briefs
The latest regulatory news for Ohio's green industry focuses on contractors providing lawn irrigation services. A change from the Ohio Department of Commerce raises the level of service contractors can provide their clients. After seven years of dialogue, ODOC is allowing limited backflow certification for irrigation contractors.
Supporting Business Through Advocacy
ONLPAC (Ohio Nursery & Landscape Political Action Committee) is the ONLY state PAC representing the needs of Ohio's Green Industry and provides immeasurable benefit to your business. Contact ONLA at 800.825.5062 for more information.
What does this mean for the green industry?
Simply stated, green industry contractors, upon completion of the certification process, can provide backflow testing for lawn irrigation systems. To become certified, contractors must:
* file an application with the Ohio Department of Commerce,
* sign a codicil specifiying they will adhere to only providing backflow testing for lawn irrigation systems,
* submit a $100 application and testing fee,
* successfully complete a three-day State-approved backflow certification course,
* pass the backflow certification exam,
* and submit a $75 "three-year certification fee" to the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Recertification requirements include obtaining appropriate education credits.
"This is great news for Ohio Irrigation Contractors," said ONLA member J. C. Wheaton, Centerville Landscaping, Inc., and President of the Ohio Irrigation Association. "This gives contractors a brand new revenue source, the opportunity to obtain a professional certification, and increases awareness of irrigation contractor skills and professionalism."
Kevin Thompson, ONLA Executive Director, adds, "No longer will contractors have to refer clients to plumbers to complete a task that is an integral component of quality irrigation system installation and maintenance."
Questions about the program may be directed to: Ralph Reeb, Backflow Administrator for the State of Ohio (614) 644-3153. Download the application and information about State-approved, on-going training opportunities from the ONLA website by clicking here.

MERRILL, WI (WTAQ) - A fire that damaged a custom wire factory in Merrill was contained to a metal plating room that covers about 15 percent of the plant.
Still, damage was estimated at $2 million in Sunday's blaze at Northern Wire.
Merrill fire officials said the blaze was contained in the specialized plating area -- and because there were unknown chemicals nearby, a hazmat team from the Wausau Fire Department was put on standby.
Wausau was among six fire departments which helped with the blaze, which was apparently caused by an electrical problem.
An investigation continues into the exact cause. No injuries were reported.

In 2007 I had a Rt TKR. It never felt right, any complaints I told the Dr. about I was told it would take at least 2 years. (I had valgus). I finally gave-up going to see him because he always said the xrays looked fine or he would send me back to PT. I thought I'd just have to live with it. Any vigorous activity would make my knee swell or be so stiff I would be laid up for at least a couple of days. After 3 1/2 years the swelling and pain got so bad I went back to him and he drew fluid off my knee to see if it was infected. It wasn't, it was full of blood. He said I needed either a full or partial revision. I went to 2 other Drs. And got the same opinion. Had a partial revision in Jan. 2012, didn' t work. Had a TKR revision May 30. The tibial head was found rotated 15 degrees.
A viable medical malpractice case requires three things: 1) a breach of the standard of care -- conduct by the doctor that is unreasonable under professional standards; 2) an injury which would not have occurred but for the unreasonable conduct; and 3) an injury which is severe enough to make the risks and expenses of litigation worth undertaking. In your case, there is a question of whether the rotation occurred at surgery, rather than in the intervening 3 1/2 years. There is question of whether the rotation was so excessive as to be unreasonable under professional standards. And then there is the question of your ultimate outcome and whether there is lasting damage. Ultimately, these questions cannot be answered based on the limited amount of infomration provided. They will require consultation with an attorney, and review by an expert.
That's worth having someone experienced with orthopedic malpractice cases taking a look at it. A significant part if my practice are total knee and total hip cases. 15 degrees vagus is a significant rotation. The primary concern I would have is whether your time to file has already expired.
If the negligence happened in 2007, you may be too late to bring legal action. That's the biggest concern for you now in this regard. Some states have some loopholes...like the so called "discovery rule" that might help. But I don't know if Arizona has any such thing. Hurry and call a local medical negligence attorney to get advice. They won't charge for a simple call about the statute of limitations.

2012 Joseph Jewell Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 9-21-2014
Nothing exists in isolation. I was just listening to Tom Waits' hilarious cryptic dirge from Mule Variations, "What's He Building In There?" about a strange guy hammering "what the hell?" in his garage when I flashed on not just Jobs and Wozniak but a few of the famed California winemakersthink Burt Williams and Ed Selyemwho started out finicking, blending and canoodling with stuff in their garage. It comes as no surprise that two young "garagistes," Micah Joseph Wirth and Adrian Jewell Manspeaker, also finessed their first Pinot from such economies of scale, by realizing that measured growth, savvy inspiration and the right fruit go a long way in the creation of a well-crafted wine. Their latest cuveé, gathering fruit from three primarily cooler sites in the Russian River Valley, is a deft expression nothing overstated or overblown just pure, delicate aromas of black cherry, gentle spice, a kiss of rose petals and oolong tea leaves, sleekly stylish yet savory, touched by sultry tannins and warm earth. Now put down that hammer, turn up the music, sit back and enjoy a glass of great Pinot!

2012 Eyrie Vineyards "Estate Grown" Dundee Hills Chardonnay
Review Date: 9-8-2014
Please note that our inventory of Eyrie wines is always rather scarce, as they just don't make very much wine, but what they do make, well this latest Chardonnay reflects what has been described by many as an epic vintagethe warmest summer in years, a long growing season allowing for perfectly balanced ripeness and acidity levels. But as with everything Eyrie, it's in the raw materialthe Burgundian clonal varieties scrupulously hand-chosen by David Lett over forty years ago that sets this delicately straw-colored Chardonnay apart, imbuing it with refined elegance and lingering aromatic complexity. Liminal notes of poached pear, quince, lees, apple and spice play upon the palate in a stunning wine that will continue to evolve for at least a decade, probably two.
Price: $24.99
2013 Michel Delhommeau "Harmonie" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
Review Date: 9-3-2014
Rocks. So much truth lies in rocks. And these particular ancient volcanic rocks named for a famous Swedish actress (or haven't you ever heard of Greta...Gabbro?), when married harmoniously to the right vines and gently cultivated sensibilities of a magnificent winemaking couple, will turn out splendid, finely-cut wines like the Harmonie, aptly named for both the lovely, leesy richness and tropical fruits that embrace and embellish the palate. These have always been personal favorites and I look forward to their return year after year after year. Enjoy!

2013 Michel Delhommeau "Symbiose" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
Review Date: 9-3-2014
Every time I taste these magnificent Muscadets from Michel Delhommeau I cannot but reflect upon the manifest destiny of the wondrous grape- Melon de Bourgogne, from which they're created. Although it originated in Burgundy, it eventually managed to migrate, swim or magically rediscover its true and lasting home beside the rapturous sea in Muscadet. Imbued with sublime, effortlessly clean, lime pith and minerally-precise flavors, the Symbiose is a slightly weightier, glycerin-textured, richer companion to the excellent Harmonie. Remember, don't be shellfish, and share it with special friends!

2013 Eric Cottat Sancerre
Review Date: 9-3-2014
Once knew a very fine fisherman who generously invited us over for fresh-caught salmon, so fresh in fact that it tasted like it leapt from the cold Pacific waters right onto the hot coals. Looking back, I wish I'd had of bottle or two of this beautifully-delineated, expressively-textured, citrus and mineral-enhanced Sancerre at the time to complement the astronomically-gastronomic flavors of the grilled salmon. What a feast!

2012 Viña Robles "Estate" Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 7-23-2014
With its alluvial sandy loam soil, good drainage and excellent exposure, the Jardine Vineyard possesses ideal conditions for growing crisp and flavorful Sauvignon Blanc, and this affordably tasty version reveals why Paso Robles has become the new California hotspot for fine wine cultivation. Tropical fruits from guava to passionfruit, highlighted by lemon and grapefruit "citricality" and a touch of minerality perform a lively dance number upon the palate. A lovely, versatile wine for parties and summer picnics with family and friends. Cheers!

2013 Foucher-Lebrun "Petit le Mont" Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 7-8-2014
Sometimes I just have to scratch my head in wonder. Foucher-Lebrun made only 250 cases of this little bejeweled bijoux of a wine, all from select parcels grown on the magical mineral border between Touraine and Haut Poitu. We're somehow (scratch, scratch) able to pass it on to your discerning palate for a song, and yes, rest assured, this little Sauvignon songbird sings~ a melodious lemony tweet, followed by a tympanic flourish of white peaches, pineapples and delicate floral notes, with an enticingly crisp, delicious finish! What a delight!

2011 Fossil Point Edna Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 6-23-2014
Because of its proximity to the ocean, Edna Valley has always been an excellent showcase for reliable, deliciously well-made Central Coast Chardonnays, often promising luscious, full-flavored fruit and balanced acidity. Fossil Point has fulfilled this tradition in an expressive wine brimming with flavors of orange rind, dried pineapple, and comice pear, complemented by a delicate creme brulee note and welcome acidity. A good match for slow-roasted chicken, baked fennel casserole or picnic ham.

2012 Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel
Review Date: 5-5-2014
Hey friends, spring is already well sprung and your long-dormant propane grill is restlessly channeling Jim Morrison.... "C'mon baby light my fire!" So put on the sizzle and grill up some mouthwatering beef fajitas (today is Cinco de Mayo after all!), then lightly chill and uncork a bottle or two of this sensational, well-balanced Zin, a virtual scramble among the brambles with rapturous notes of blackberry and briar seasoned with gentle oak, a dash of spice and a kiss of licorice. Nothing out of sync here, just the interplay of richly beautiful fruit, well-composed tannins and a fine, satisfying finish. Awaiting the the grill of your dreams.....

2010 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 4-18-2014
In 2010, a lingering cool spring in the Southern Rhône severely reduced crop yields and extended the harvest well into October, allowing the happy grapes to reach sublimely intense levels of both richness and structure - the result one of the greatest vintages ever in the Rhône Valley. And who reaps the rewards? Enter E. Guigal, perhaps the Rhone's chief exponent of excellence, delivering an amazing spectrum of quality wines year after year. Their entry-level Côtes du Rhône, with redolent aromas and flavors of cherry, black plum, wood smoke and spice possesses astonishing degrees of balance, complexity and mouthwatering texture for a very modest price. Most definitely a "win-win(e)"...Enjoy!

2012 Bastide Miraflors "Vieilles Vignes" Côtes Catalanes
Review Date: 4-17-2014
The Roussillon region in southwest France has been cultivating grapes for thousands of years, so it comes as little surprise that a wine of such intense, immense pleasure as the Bastide Miraflors finds its home there. Select organically-farmed Syrah and rustic old vine Grenache undergo a long maceration to generate a wine of beautiful texture, form and depth. Lively, lusty and inviting red and black fruits toned with lavender and wildflowers make for a delicious bottle of wine, one that will complement everything from Mediterranean fare to roasted poultry to grilled lamb chops. This amazingly priced wine will quickly sail from our shops, guaranteed.

2012 Neyers "Sage Canyon" Rhone Blend
Review Date: 3-12-2014
It doesn't take a true detective to unravel the mystery of why a particular wine delivers so much unadulterated pleasure. In the case of this natural Rhone blend from Bruce Neyers the clues first found in the vineyard end up ultimately, with good fortune, in your glass. Crafted by winemaker Tadeo Borchardt from Grenache grown in the Sierra foothills, Syrah from the Sangiacomo hillside vineyards in Sonoma, and precious parcels of 135 year old Carignane and 125 year old Mourvedre vines that have sunk their hoary roots deep into the stony Contra Costa soils in Oakley, this red blend pays generous tribute to the heart of the southern Rhone in its sultry, sun-soaked fruit and lingering lavender, warm spice and anise-inflected aromas. One sip and the mystery is solved.

2011 Dry Creek Vineyard "Heritage Vines" Sonoma County Zinfandel
Review Date: 2-6-2014
Take note Zin lovers! For those of you who lust for the gracious, bountiful blue and blackberry-scented fruit, soothing warmth and pepper-inflected spice inherent in the best Sonoma County Zinfandels, take comfort in this luscious 2011 bottling. Crafted from 100 year old heritage Zinfandel cuttings grafted onto younger rootstock, this wine is an enthralling contrast between the venerable and the new, expressing its oracular old vine voice through new and vibrant pathways. A sinuous, savory blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, pitched with pepper and mineral undertones that will remind you why Dry Creek Valley is still the beautiful beating heart of Zinfandel country.

2012 Rancho Zabaco "Heritage Vines" Sonoma County Zinfandel
Review Date: 1-14-2014
Film often informs my comments, so I just saw The Wolf of Wall Street with a flash shot of the iconic, massively bronze Merrill Lynch bull snorting like someone just stole his lunch money or last martini, which reminded me of the wine I just tasted with another bull on it, this one much smaller and on the label but inside the bottle just as much bold, brawny, effusive snort-and-stuffing as the bronzed behemoth. We're talking big bovine wine here, but in this case, one possessed of a deep red heart and fabulous imposing flavor, a wine with velvet hooves, if you will, or won't. As impressive as the full depth charge of pure, high-toned Zin fruit and lush spice is the unbelievable price. And to say I'm rather bullish on this wine, well...

2011 Pierre Henri-Morel Côtes du Rhône-Villages Signargues
Review Date: 1-8-2014
Winemaker Henri Morel spent a most memorable decade working with Michel Chapoutier and it shows in the elegant wines recently created under his own label. Cultivated from select vineyard parcels of limestone and clay soils carpeted in the signature white pebbles the size of dinosaur eggs, this attractively unoaked Grenache blend releases suave fruit and infinite charm with every swirl of the glass. Arresting flavors of bright cherry, blackcurrant and garrigue play upon the the palate, with velvety tannins leading to a structured, concentrated finish. Lovely wine and a truly remarkable value!

Breast Cancer Health Center
Effective Libido Drugs Needed continued...
Bone recommends topical vaginal estrogen to many of her breast cancer patients.
Although this is somewhat controversial, she says the doses used in most estrogen-containing vaginal creams are very low, and studies show that very little is absorbed systemically.
Davis recommends starting with a non-hormonal lubricant like vegetable oil.
The survey revealed that women who had their breasts removed were twice as likely to report negative feelings about body image as women who had breast-conserving surgeries, even when they had breast reconstruction surgery.
"Reconstruction is major cosmetic surgery and a lot of women end up with pain," she says.
She says the high incidence of low desire among women who have been treated for breast cancer speaks to the need for effective libido-targeting treatments.
Early last summer, an FDA panel recommended against approval of the drug flibanserin, which has been called the 'female Viagra,' concluding that two studies failed to show a significant increase in desire among women taking the drug compared to women taking placebo pills.
"I think this drug needs to be studied in women with breast cancer because it is non-hormonal and this is a population with a real need for a libido drug," she says. "And you are not likely to see a big placebo effect. If it doesn't work, they will tell you."

Discussion about
I played with one in a store today.
Having it set to anything except all the way 2D caused me some serious discomfort that lingered for a few minutes afterwards. And with the graphics set to 2D, all I saw were roughly PSP-quality graphics. I can't say it's worth remotely close to $249 for me.
That's what I felt first when I played it in the store as well but once you own one and see what depth level you're comfortable with you'll get it used to focusing different on 3D screens and you'll eventually graduate to the highest depth setting without too much discomfort.
I feel bad for the people who have discomfort with the 3D on. I played mine for two hours yesterday with almost max 3d and had no pain at all. It's a really great device for me at least...
This post has been removed.
in an article i read, nintendo's testers said you get used to it after a while. i believe this too, because when i first tried my 3ds on launch day, i would have to turn off the 3d after a short time. now i have it on max for hours with no problem whatsoever.

While we always knew that Kate Middleton and Prince Harry were rather close and chummy together, we didn't think she'd be crossing the line with her brother-in-law LIKE THIS.
According to new reports, Middleton seems obsessed with Prince Harry's love life so much so that she's made it her mission to see him settled down with a woman he might or might not be in love with.
And you just won't believe who Middleton has been secretly talking to behind Prince Harry's back, either.
Apparently, the Duchess wants Prince Harry to get back together with his ex, Cressida Bonas despite the fact that the two broke up earlier this year. She's even been giving her "royal advice" on how to win Harry back by dressing proactively while "pub crawling" with male friends. A source tells British magazine Now:
"Kate has taken Cress under her wing and showed her the royal ropes. They really bonded and Kate was quite upset when she and Harry split as it reminded her of when she separated from William in 2007."
"Back then, when she realized she wanted him back Kate slipped into her slinkiest outfits, went to William's favorite night spots, got seen with other guys – and did everything she could to make her ex realize what he was missing. Now Cress is using the same tactic."
I mean, if there's anyone who could write an instruction manual on "How to Snag a Prince," it would be Kate Middleton, right? Unfortunately for her though, she was ridiculed and mocked by the British press and even nicknamed "Waity Katie" for years while she was waiting for Prince William to propose to her. I mean, no woman - including Cressida Bonas - wants to look like she's desperate to get married, right?
Unlike his brother, Prince Harry is in no hurry to get married or produce any royal heirs to the throne anytime soon. He's obviously loving his life as a single man. If he wants to get back with Bonas, he doesn't need his sister-in-law to meddle with his affairs. I'm sure plenty of his female fans from around the world would agree that the right woman will be there for him eventually. Plus, I don't think I've ever met a person with a pulse who hasn't agreed that Prince Harry is HOT.
Do you think Kate Middleton should be playing Prince Harry's royal matchmaker?

Do not believe it for a moment.....And person above is correct ,there is somebody.body;s out to cause trouble,and those who slate kate come on ..she a lovely lady...and there both so much in love,u see harry doing his dutys u see cressida clubbing it ...come on wake up....As u noticed harry not bothered about her ..they are not suitedso what a royal back ground ...sorry if there not suited no good,now price willam,princess kare are ,just look at the queen and her husband... yes called LOVE
LOL !!! Cressida, taking advice from WAITY ? LOL. What's the advice from Waity ? Don't wear panties ? Flash your stuff in public ? Be lazy ? Stalk Harry ? Stalk Harry and shack up with him ? Stalk Harry and wait up to 10 years while doing nothing except partying ? LOL. Cressida doesn't need Waity and her "advice".

Standoff ends peacefully
Date of News Release: 08/31/2011
(Browder, Ky.) -- On Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at approximately 12:59 p.m., the Kentucky State Police and the Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department arrived at a residence on Forest Oak Church Road to conduct a welfare check. The Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department had received a complaint that a David L. Drake, age 53 of Belton, KY, was possibly holding his spouse and child against their will. The Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department then contacted the Kentucky State Police for assistance.
When officers made contact with Mr. Drake at the residence, he refused to exit or allow the officers to check on the welfare of his spouse and child. A lengthy standoff then ensued.
At approximately 11:16 p.m., Mr. Drake exited his residence and was taken into custody. He was transported to the Muhlenberg Community Hospital where he was treated and released. He was lodged in the Muhlenberg County Detention Center and charged with Mentally Ill-A Danger to Self/Others, Unlawful Imprisonment 1st Degree, and Resisting Arrest. His spouse and child were not injured.
The Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department, Kentucky State Police Special Response Team, Muhlenberg County EMS and the Department of Community Based Services assisted at the scene.

We spend our lives rereading and rewatching and relistening and relearning. We eat the same things over and over. We end up loving people who remind us of other people. We perform these rituals, this spacetime origami, because the basic fact of our n-dimensional existence is this: Most things can be recalled and some things can be revisited but precious little can be relived.
Twilight (2008) Goonies (1985) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Kindergarten Cop (1990) Elephant (2003) The River Wild (1994) Stand By Me (1986) Hunted (2003) Thumbsucker (2005) The Ring (2002) Short Circuit (1986) The Postman (1997) The Shining (1980) And let's not forget the Brendan Frasier/Harrison Ford/Keri Russell masterpiece currently on the way. I had to walk through those film crews way too many times on my way to work. That movie had better be worth it…
Wow, Goonies, Kindergarden Cop and Short Circuit?! That is a tri-fecta of movie awesomness there!
So, as you all know, I spent last weekend camping out in the gorgeous, sweltering, music-cradling Gorge up in Washington. Despite one close call with heat stroke, carrying my pack for 5 miles in flip flops, and tearing my foot open on broken glass…I had just about the best time of my entire life. And I really don't know how to describe it.
It was an entire weekend of complete strangers living together, sharing and bonding. My tent was right next to a couple from Idaho, a clan from Canada, and a bunch of very intoxicated recent high school grads. When I woke up in the morning, they offered me coffee, and beer, and card games despite the fact that all I could give them in return were really gross yogurt-containing granola bars.
And the concert itself…was just astounding. The main stage backed directly up to the river and the carved rock cliffs. Aside from the 20,000 person venue, there was nothing around for miles. Some people dressed in penguin costumes, most were on some kind of mind-altering substance, and everyone was just incredibly happy. It was almost like joining some "too good to be true" cult in the middle of the desert. It didn't matter if we had to wear the same pair of clothes for 3 days or sleep on hillsides - it was still perfect.
And the music? Oh my god it was amazing. TV on the radio, NIN, Ra Ra Riot, and Devotchka were my personal favorites, but the festival made some great choices when it came to the bands.
Is it next year yet?
Despite everyone's praise of them, I just can't get into TV on the Radio. But I'm super excited to see you liked Syracuse's own Ra Ra Riot and Devotchka who I played the shit out of when I first heard one of their songs. It wasn't easy either, it was like 6 minutes long! Did you get to see the Decemberists? I like them, but I'm not sure how they'd translate to a live performance…

Fowler Liked Call For TD Vs. A&M
Jalston Fowler has watched the game-winning touchdown play against Texas A&M a lot fewer times than the average Alabama fan. "I only watched it once," he said following Tuesday's Crimson Tide practice. "I watched it yesterday. Jarrick Williams came over Sunday and asked me if I had recorded the game. I said, 'No, man.' Did the chilling."
