text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted September 26, 2012 By Carah Ong Will the Presidential Debates Matter? Debate with President Gerald Ford (Foreign and Defense Issues) (October 6, 1976) Jimmy Carter The first of three presidential debates is set for one week from today at the University of Denver (a fourth debate is scheduled between the vice presidential candidates). As we reported in last week's Friday Roundup, the first debate will focus largely on the economy, with three of the six fifteen-minute segments dedicated to the economy, while the other three will focus on "health care," "the role of government," and "governing." Will these debates really matter for the outcome in November? Probably not. But, at least a third of American households will tune in to root on their candidate. As it happens, I've been reading a terrific new book just released this month – The Timeline of Presidential Elections by Robert S. Erikson and Christopher Wlezien – that delves into the elements of the presidential campaign timeline that matter for changing preferences in the aggregate vote. Using aggregate polling data, the authors document that voter intentions do change over the course of presidential campaigns. However, voter preferences are more volatile in some election years than others. Not surprisingly, party conventions play a major role in shuffling the electorate's vote choices and it is around convention time that voter preferences are the most volatile. Conventions thus do a good job of getting voter's attention sufficiently enough to change minds. But preferences harden nearly every year following the party conventions, with fewer voters changing their minds in the fall general campaign season. Following the conventions, the next big campaign event is usually the presidential debates. Unlike conventions, however, numerous political scientists have shown that the presidential debates do not matter and do not change voter preferences. Detailed studies of individual debates show that, at most, polls swing only one to three points in some of the more salient debates where one of the candidates out-performs the other, such as the 1980 debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan (two points for Reagan, who was already in the lead); the 1988 debate between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (one point to Bush, who was already in the lead); the 1992 debate between Bush and Bill Clinton (probably cost Bush two points); and Al Gore's endless signing in the debate with George W. Bush (about two to three points to Bush). Of these, the only debate that could have been consequential to the election outcome was the Gore v. Bush debate.

Citizenship Ceremonies
Citizenship ceremonies have both personal and legal dimensions. Citizenship brings with it significant rights and responsibilities, including the right to vote, stand for public office, and travel on an Australian passport.
Most people are required to make the Pledge of Commitment as the final step in becoming an Australian citizen.
Once their application has been approved, arrangements are made for them to attend a Citizenship Ceremony at which they make the pledge. Once the pledge had been made before a person delegated by the Minister, the person is an Australian citizen.
An Australian Citizenship Affirmation is a statement that gives all Australians, not only our newest citizens, the opportunity to affirm their loyalty and commitment to Australia and its people.
Citizenship ceremonies are generally conducted by local government councils and can be held on Australia Day as part of the program of events. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship administers citizenship ceremonies. The Department notifies local government regarding new citizens in their area. There are clear protocols which must be followed in relation to Citizenship ceremonies. Find more information at the Australian citizenship website.
If you intend to incorporate a Citizenship ceremony into your Australia Day event you may find this helpful.

Huskers Represented in 20 Straight Super Bowls
Seward (Neb.) native Sam Koch was a walk-on punter for Nebraska.
By Randy York
Nebraska fans who like to use the word relevant should love this statistic: Because Seward (Neb.) native Sam Koch (pronounced Cook) is the Baltimore Ravens' ultra-dependable punter, Nebraska now can claim an active NFL roster representative in 20 consecutive Super Bowls – the longest such streak of any national college football program. Somehow, in my mind, that's an interesting fact to communicate with the recruiting season beginning its stretch run to signing day.
According to Nebraska media relations assistant AD Keith Mann, the Huskers' 20 consecutive years with at least one former player on a Super Bowl roster is six years ahead of No. 2 Purdue. Ohio State, LSU, Georgia and Illinois have reached 12 consecutive years with that statistical status, followed by Florida with 11, Iowa with 10 and Texas with eight. Mann said the statistics were compiled by Dan Apple, assistant communications director for the University of Florida. There is one caveat to Nebraska's list. Technically, the Chicago Bears placed Husker All-America safety Mike Brown on injured reserve during the 2007 regular season, but he received his full Super Bowl share based on his official roster spot.
Former Husker wingback and Buffalo Bill running back Nate Turner started Nebraska's streak in 1993. Even though he did not play in that Super Bowl, he was on the Bills' official roster. The streak has continued with San Diego's and Oakland's John Parrella (two Super Bowls), Pittsburgh's Brenden Stai and Donta Jones, Green Bay's Calvin Jones and Tyrone Williams (two Super Bowls), Denver's Neil Smith (two Super Bowls) and Tony Veland, Atlanta's Michael Booker, Tennessee's Doug Colman, St. Louis'/Seattle's Grant Wistrom (three Super Bowls), New York Giants' Christian Peter, Oakland's Eric Johnson and Adam Treu, New England's Russ Hochstein (three Super Bowls), Carolina's Mike Minter and Mike Rucker, Seattle's Josh Brown, Chicago's Mike Brown, New England's Le Kevin Smith, Arizona's Ralph Brown, Indianapolis' Cody Glenn, New Orleans' Carl Nicks and Scott Shanle, Green Bay's Brandon Jackson and the New York Giants' Prince Amukamara last year.
It's nostalgic when names pop up in championship games that determine Super Bowl qualifiers. When 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick's name rolled through my high-def screen on Sunday, he was mentioned with two other Super Bowl starting quarterbacks with the least number of previous starts. Nebraska's own Vince Ferragamo (who started with the LA Rams in the 1979 Super Bowl with fellow Husker George Andrews on that same team) was one name. The other Super Bowl quarterback with the fewest starts was Jeff Hostetler (NY Giants).
Who were the first two Huskers ever to play in a Super Bowl? That would be Oakland cornerback Kent McCloughan and Raider safety Warren Powers in Super Bowl ll. They were followed by Minnesota's Mick Tingelhoff (four Super Bowls) and three Huskers who played for the Washington Redskins in the 1972 Super Bowl – Pat Fischer, Ron McDole and Ted Vactor.
Following those trailblazers were Minnesota's Joe Blahak (on the official roster but did not play) and Oakland's Monte Johnson, Rick Bonness and David Humm (two Super Bowls). Next came Philadelphia's Raymond Phillips, the LA Raiders' Bob Nelson (two Super Bowls), San Francisco's Willie Harper, Cincinnati's Rod Horn and Miami's Andra Franklin.
Who can forget Nebraska's ever-popular Roger Craig, who played and starred in Super Bowl Nos. 19, 23 and 24 for the 49ers? He was followed by Miami's Bill Barnett, New England's Irving Fryar, Chicago's Mitch Krenk and Henry Waechter, Washington's Brian Davis, San Francisco's Tom Rathman (two Super Bowls), Cincinnati's Jim Skow, San Francisco's Jamie Williams and Denver's Marc Munford.
Koch becomes Husker No. 54 to make a Super Bowl, dating back to that second world title game following the 1967 season. Overall, Koch will enable a Husker to be represented in 34 of the first 47 Super Bowls … an impressive feat indeed and especially for those who dream about that experience growing up and think about the best programs that can make that dream come true.
We end this blog with an interesting study. An NFL sponsor published research entitled A Look at the winningest college football programs based on NFL draftee numbers from 1992-2011. Nebraska ranks No. 5 on that list, followed by Notre Dame, Georgia, Penn State, Michigan, Alabama and Oklahoma (Texas ranks No. 15). As a conference, the Big Ten is a solid No. 2 overall with 146 more NFL draft choices during that period than the No. 3-ranked Pac-12 and 172 more NFL draft choices than the No. 4-ranked Big 12.

Dead Certain: A Critically Acclaimed Psychological Thriller on Union Square (Thanksgiving Special)
Dead Certain is an "edge-of-your-seat" thriller -- NYC Retrovisionmedia called this production "the sleeper of New York City's small theater season to date". The play follows an out- of-work actor who is hired by a reclusive, theater-obsessed ex-dancer to privately act out a play she has written. The truth and illusion become almost inseparably entangled in this real life game of cat and mouse.
Student, Military, Senior, Group Discounts Available. 2pm-$20 Weekend.

I very rarely write reviews, but I need to this time because this show was so fantastic. My husband and I went to see it on the recommendation of my mom, and let's just say I'm going to be listening to her recommendations from now on! Kept me on the edge of my seat and engaged from start to finish-- great script and even better acting. I could not recommend it highly enough- go see it!
Three of us had the opportunity to greatly enjoy the play Dead Certain at a recent matinee. We had no idea that the performance would be so good. The two performers -- Diana Brown and Andrey Esterlis -- managed to keep a very high level of energy for almost 90 minutes. They played the parts to perfection.
Stacy Marshall, the production manager, met us at the ticket counter. She was very nice and helpful.
All in all, it was a wonderful play. We recommend it strongly.
Honestly one of the best performances I've seen in a long time. Very well, written and executed. The small space makes it a very unique, not to be missed show.
Tightly and smartly written, expertly acted. Would like to go again. Suggest a Talkback after the performance for a little extra charge. Would be fun to digest with the actors and other viewers. Pre-show wine and cookies were a nice touch. I'd suggest getting there early to nab a seat in the front row.
Amazing performances and such a tight script. We're from NYC and this felt like home.
This is a must see for avid theatre goers and lovers. Diana Brown and Andrey Esterlis deliver riveting performances of this intellectual thriller and game of "cat and mouse". THe space is unique and intimate adding to this amazing thriller. Don't be misled by the play being produced in the "Cartwright Hotel". It is a small, quiet little theatre space of it's own off the Cartwright's lobby. Great ambiance and again, performances that will keep you on the edge of your seat. See it!
First, I thank the playwright, Marcus Lloyd. What an interesting mind he must have. My guess is that he knows what it is like to be alone in his head for long periods of time. What tricks he plays with the words and the characters as he moves the script along with many twists and turns. Brilliant!!!
Diana Brown, a truly great actress, takes the playwright's words and breathes life into the character, Elizabeth. Ms. Brown grabs the audience right from the start and she never lets up on us. We are moved from one cunning moment to the next, seamlessly. If you want to see an actress weave magic with ease, you must see Ms. Brown as Elizabeth.
Andrey Estrelis as Michael, also captures us with his performance. He has good instincts as an actor. He has to stay on his toes to keep up with with Elizabeth throughout the play. As the director, he has done an excellent job with the blocking as this theatre space is very intimate, and makes the play even more exciting.
I enjoyed the intimacy of the performance. It is a good show, a really good show and needs people to see it. I give it five stars. You will not be disappointed if you just take the time to see this wonderfully written play, this extremely well acted and directed play!!! Don't miss this one.
I've seen this show before (same production company & actors, but different venue) and came back because I LOVE IT! The script is intricate and absorbing and masterfully performed by Diana Brown & Andrey Esterlis. Their "pop-up" theater at Hotel Cartwright Union Square is really innovative. The holiday season is the perfect time to do some shopping in SF's Union Square and this would be a perfect opportunity to see a really, really great live show. You won't be disappointed.
Had such a great time watching this last night! So many twists and turns, a complete mind bending experience, for lack of words. Thank you so much!
There is nothing stereotypical in this piece; the mystery edge is completely realized by the two actors--in a way that only two exceptional performers can do--it will keep you guessing and caring (something not always apparent in mysteries) until the finger biting and perhaps...bitter??? end! a great way to spend a short evening and then have a drink in the neighborhood bar afterwards!
What an amazing show! The entire production is top rate! The two person cast is so wonderful to watch. They play off each other like no other actors I have seen. Great unusual venue! GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!
Definitely worth seeing and highly recommended. Well written and fast-paced, I was at the edge of my seat the entire performance.
One note: the main character is in a wheelchair and there are some big stereotypes here unfortunately. I spoke with one of the actors who said they were aware of this during the production and worked to compensate for it. However I can understand why actors who are disabled declined the part. The cast member was thoughtful in our discussion and I give them the benefit of the doubt even though I'm a disability rights activist and others might be offended.
It's a great play, just feel free to talk with the cast afterwards if you share an awareness of physical disability as reality not drama.

I am a bit confused why the author referrs to this notebook as a mid-range notebook? On a consumer-level I would definately consider it high-end -- the only way that it may be mid-range is if you start to toss workstation NBs in the picture.
Anyway, with the exception of the CPU and (I believe it was a 6-cell) battery I would definitely like this NB for myself. Its a bit costly however, but the look of it is great and I like the semi-upgradability as well.
Toss it down to like $1,100 and I would probably jump on it -- either that or throw in current-gen CPU and a 12-cell battery and I will gladly pay the $1,300
"My computer isn't slow, it's just being careful."
Join the Official HotHardware Folding Team!
LovelyCrap:Hey Ice, i'd say $1,350 is pretty mid-range for a notebook. Upper mid-range if you want to divide it further. Low-end would be sub-$800 and high-end would start in the $1,800 range and just keep going.
Let me ask you this (not trying to argue, just questioning is all): How could one improve the performance of the notebook further (while keeping this at a 32-bit OS) ... The only possible performance upgrade I would be able to think of is the CPU. The T5550 is definitely no slacker -- I guess if anything I may consider this CPU to be mid-range. 4GB of RAM, 8800M based video card, 17" screen, wireless N card is all pretty top-notch. Now maybe I have misunderstood but when you describe it as mid-range are you referring to the price or the performace?
I guess bottom line, again, what would you throw into the laptop to make it high-end?
LovelyCrap:It's your lucky day. The P-6860FX is on sale right now for $1,100 [at Best Buy]. The exact price you asked for.
Yeah I noticed that too and cursed that I had mentioned it -- haha the sale had to come at the worst possible time for me. Alas, I've not enough dinero for the guy right now....I am sure the sale will be over next Friday when I would be able to pick it up Murphy's Law I suppose...
LovelyCrap:s for the sale. I'd wait for the next one. Being BestBuy, it'll happen again within 3 months.
Being a worker @ Best Buy, I can tell you that the item is on sale due to the fact we will not be selling it anymore -- that is it'll be deleted from our systems.......
I couldn't agree with ya more in terms of deciding factors on performance for notebooks. I guess when I look at a notebook that is a Core 2 Extreme or quad core I would not consider that even a true notebook just due to the fact that the mobility factor is shot unless you drop another $200 on a 12 or 15 celll battery.
Basically performance to this guy means good hardware (8800M, T7xx or T8xx series CPU, and 3-4GB of RAM) and is what I'd expect. It just gets to that point that you might as well buy a desktop if you wanted straight performance.....but that is the fine line that these manufactors dance I guess when they engineer such specs
Just stumbled accross this post. I purchased a 6860 this past week right before the sale price went back up. Do you know if GW is replacing it with an upgraded version?
Sortof....it will still be of the "FX" series but essentially all new guts; don't quote me but i have heard the likes of 6GB of RAM and a T8xxx series CPU (obviously these are just rumors however).
Basically until we get them off our truck though I don't have any idea the exact specs............
Anyway 6GB of RAM and a T8xxx series CPU sounds very attractive.

JOE TALAMO, BICKERSONS, Winner: "I don't know if they're going to ship her out, but where ever they go, let me know. She really impressed me today. This was my first time on her. For a race like that they really weren't going all that fast, but they pressured her all the way. Around the turn she was just taking deep breaths and I knew they'd have to run to catch her. I had a lot of horse and at the top of the stretch she just kicked instantly.
KELLY BREEN, BICKERSONS, Winner: "We had a tentative plane to go back to our farm in Kentucky on Tuesday, but we might have to put that on hold. She ran a great race. Maybe it was the difference in tracks — there was a closing track at Santa Anita and a little bit more of a speed bias track here. Joe (Talamo) seemed to really love her. I had no excuse why she ran so bad in the Breeders' Cup, I wish I did. We had talked in the past about putting blinkers on her, but after today there's no reason to make any changes."
NOTES: The win was the fourth on the program for jockey Joe Talamo . . . Owners George and Lori Hall reside in Rumson, N.J.

India's growing global humanitarian role: Is it enough?
India is increasingly seen as an important player when it comes to supporting nations hit by disasters or conflict, as well as for development, but given its size and influence, is it really doing enough to help resolve global crises?
Many, like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), think not, especially when it comes to addressing humanitarian issues at an international level.
"I am of the very strong opinion that India - which has an enormous influence due to its population, economic growth and history - will have to play a more assertive role in the world," Yves Daccord, ICRC director general, told AlertNet recently.
Daccord, who was in India earlier this month to boost relations with New Delhi and seek ways to engage the government more in hot spots such as Afghanistan and Myanmar, said it was imperative that India be much more active.

Plants eagerly make me take out my sketchbook before I forget. Every time I visit cities other than Los Angeles, I sketch everything that catches my eyes. My inspirations can be drawn from everywhere. I love children and animals, their naiveness and simplicity. As an illustrator and a designer, I always wanted to make art for children about loving animals. Furthermore, as I design for them, things seem brighter and happier. I wish I can inspire them as well and make them see things in many different perspectives.

Here's my take:
1. Sabbathia to Texas for Profar, Olt and a pitching prospect. Texas gets their ace to combine with Yu Darvish. We get youth at the SS and 3B position as well as salary relief.
2. Granderson to Seattle for prospects. They need offense. Seattle has the best farm in the big leagues so they have some excess. No way for us to extend him any way.
3. Washington needs a 1B with power now that LaRoach is gone. See if they would be willing to take Tex for some prospects. Maybe we can pry Rendon from them.
4. Make a decision on Cano. If he won't extend for 6 years now, trade him for a load of prospects.
5. Explore the cost of trading for Stanton, Price and/or Upton in terms of prospects. Don't over pay, but we should be pretty full with studs.
6. Try to extend Hughes now. I'm guessing that he will have a pretty good year.
7. Kuroda, Petitte and Mo will all come off the books next year. If Jeter wants to keep playing, let him keep going and end his career on his own terms.
8. A-Rod - Sunk cost. Your stuck with him. Hope that he looks in the mirror and retires.

Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (November 13 1850 - December 3 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors such as Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov and others. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the AudioQuest Carbon by Steve Kindig You might not expect USB cables to sound different — but they do During AudioQuest's recent visit, they showed us their line of USB cables. These cables definitely have a high-quality look and feel, but we wondered how noticeable any sonic improvements would be. The proof was in the listening. In a direct comparison to a free-in-the-box USB cable, the AQ cable delivered greater bass extension, along with more bass and mid-bass detail. The soundstage opened up and vocals sounded more natural. A high-quality USB cable is a great way to connect your desktop or laptop computer to a high-end audio digital-to-analog converter. Playing high-res music files demands more of USB cables than routine tasks like printing text or scanning photos. For USB audio, as with all digital audio signals, it's critical to maintain accurate timing. This cable can reduce the timing errors or "jitter" that often makes digital music sound less clear and rich and three-dimensional. Paying attention to every detail AudioQuest Carbon is the USB cable for music addicts. It's carefully engineered, made with top-notch materials, and tested through hours and hours of listening. One way AQ improves the audio performance of its digital cables is by adding a thin layer of silver plating to the solid copper wires. When it comes to conducting signals, silver is the best-performing metal — better than either copper or gold. Carbon's silver-plated conductors are designed to reveal more high-frequency detail. If you enjoy listening to digital music files on a high-end audio system, you'll be surprised at the difference AQ's USB cables can make.

It is a well made cable, good quality connectors. Not sure if it's all that much better than the NAD-supplied cable, but wanted to make sure that I had all bases covered, especially for hi-res files.

Information about San Francisco
About San Francisco
San Francisco is one of the world's top travel destinations, with 16.5 million travelers visiting last year alone. Whether you're hopping a short flight from Southern California or a longer flight from across the Atlantic, San Francisco's a great town to sightsee, shop, sample the local cuisine and get to know the neighborhoods.
Things to Do in San Francisco
San Francisco has many famous landmarks. Here are a few of our favorites: Alcatraz Island,site of the infamous former federal penitentiary, is a must-see. It's accessible by ferry and open for tours every day except Christmas, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's most iconic landmarks and every bit as impressive in person as it is in photos. San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America and the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. From the elderly people doing tai chi in the parks to the colorful shops selling fun souvenirs, Chinatown definitely merits exploring. If you enjoy public parks visit Golden Gate Park, the third most visited park in the U.S. It has miles of paths for you to wander along the grass and lakes. Also, it is home to a number of popular attractions, including the California Academy of Sciences, the deYoung Museum and the Conservatory of Flowers. And what trip to San Francisco could be complete without a visit to Haight Ashbury? At the epicenter of 1960s San Francisco counterculture, the area today has many cafes, shops and colorful Victorian houses.
San Francisco Day Trips
There are a number of excellent day trips from San Francisco. Napa County, the world-renowned wine region is just an hour northeast of San Francisco. About 2 hours from the city is another wonderful wine-producing region, Sonoma County. Those who prefer to drive south should head to Santa Cruz, a beautiful coastal university town popular with surfers and home of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Less than an hour south, you'll find Monterey County. The drive from San Francisco along Highway 1 is stunning, especially if you continue your trip down the coast, to Big Sur- among the most stunning coastlines in the world. And if you prefer a quick trip, head across the bay to explore Berkeley's downtown and the University of California at Berkeley campus or catch a performance at a popular Oakland concert venue such as the Fox Theater or the Paramount.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Cristal, the jewel and tête de cuvée of Champagne Louis Roederer, was created in 1876 for the Tsar Alexander II of Russia. It remains faithful to its origin, inspired by elegance and purity. Cristal is produced with regimented standards of winemaking that require a rigorous selection of crus, vintages, grapes, and wine.
Cristal is produced using only the finest vintages from crus guaranteed to originate from the Louis Roederer vineyard. All the exceptional characteristics of the 2002 vintage have literally been captured in this Cristal 2002, which is generous and lush, revealing perfect balance between concentration and finesse, freshness and vinosity, intensity and refinement. In three words: proud, rich and luxurious.
Cristal 2002 is brilliant yellow with light amber highlights and has a beautiful mousse with fine cordon of persistent and regular bubbles. The nose is intense and delicate, revealing a clean and well-blended mixture of flavors of honey, cocoa, lightly toasted hazelnuts, candied citrus fruit. A savory explosion of ripe fruit on the attack, the wine reveals red fruit, white chocolate, caramel and Danish pastry, typical of Cristal. Its silky, concentrated texture relies on its intense, powerful and vinous structure, but maintains refinement. The palate builds up to attain a delicious sensation of well-blended harmony of flavors. A fresh finish with a hint of bitterness makes it almost crunchy.
"If a wine could ever make you want to pull the top down on your '68 Ferrari convertible, rip off the rearview mirror and take off, this is it. It has a different kind of energy than the '02 Cristal Rose, which is more ethereal, like strawberries at the right hand of some ancient Gallic god. This is more insolent, brash, earth bound. All the scents and flavors seem to emanate frm limestone, as does the acidity, which hits at the front of the mouth and powers through the wine with the kind of solar energy that lifts mist off the white chalk on a cool morning in Cramant. The wine goes on for miles. It's already irresistible, and will only improve with ten, 20, 30 and 40 years of age."
100 Points
Wine & Spirits
"This is an exceptional wine, as is the vintage. The fruits—grapefruit, crisp red apple—balance with a fine yeasty character. There is a great depth of flavor, the fruits going in a pure line of freshness. The one problem is that it is much too young, the result of the demand from the market for the next vintage. Age this wine for at least four years."
98 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Roederer's 2002 Cristal is still in its infant, fresh stage. Subtle notes of pears, flowers, spices, mint, minerals and oak are woven into a cashmere-like frame of extraordinary grace and elegance. This beautifully-sculpted Champagne possesses notable clarity but with the additional depth of fruit that is characteristic of this vintage. It is a gorgeous, seductive Cristal of the highest level. In 2002, Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay with 10 grams of dosage. 20% of the wine was fermented in oak. "
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"55% Pinot Noir; 45% Chardonnay. Its Pinot Noir portion notwithstanding, this wine has a crisp, chalky, lightly citrusy, lightly toasty aroma that is more than a little bit suggestive of an elegant Blanc de Blancs. And perhaps that is its secret. It is an incredibly refined yet deep wine whose suggestions of roasted soy and caramel are kept as complex nuances within a well-filled, refreshing, crisp set of flavors and a graceful, lengthy aftertaste. It occupies a comfortable middle ground between the quiet refinement of Dom Perignon and the bold approaches of the top Bollinger and Krug wines."
96 Points
Connoisseurs' Guide
"A suave customer, with hints of citrus, berry and coffee. Harmonious and refined, with freshness and a bright structure. The finish shows a lot of potential, with a mouthwatering aftertaste. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2030."

Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can.

* Plays being performed at part of the 36th Annual Marilyn Bianchi Playwriting Festival
The Marilyn Bianchi Kids Playwriting Festival is open to all kids in Cuyahoga County, grades 1-12, whether home-schooled or attending a public, private or charter school.
Plays must be the original work of the student who is submitting it. No collaborations, adaptations or copying from movies, TV, books, video games or other plays. Teachers and parents can offer advice, such as "This play doesn't have an ending", but they should not help with the story line, characters or dialogue.
The play may be any category: comedy, drama, mystery, fantasy – wherever your imagination leads you. The Festival is limited to non-musical plays (but scripts may call for brief music or song as part of the action).
Each play will be read by at least 3 readers. Prizes will be awarded on the basis of imagination and human values as much as playwriting skills. The age and grade of the playwright will be taken into consideration by the judges.
Plays must be typed. No handwritten plays will be accepted.
Please include a title page that has: the title of the play, your name, address, phone number and your school and grade. Your name and age should not appear anywhere else in the play.
Make sure each page of the play is numbered and contains the title of your play – but not your name.
You can submit your play in one of three formats: A Word document, a PDF, or a hard copy (i.e. , a paper copy).
Email the Word file or PDF of your play AND a copy of the entry form to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you wish to submit in hard copy, please paper clip (no staples) one copy of the play and the entry form and mail it to: Dobama Theatre, Marilyn Bianchi Kids Playwriting Festival, 2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, 44118.
Deadline for submissions is February 1, 2014.
Winners will be notified by May 1, 2014.

Opalo del Fuego: Fire Opal Platinum Pendant
The glow which emanates from a fire opal cannot be captured with mere words. The faceted rectangular gem of 9.25 carats radiates a gorgeous transparent orange color with excellent clarity. An intricate platinum bale comprised of an array of geometric shapes is encrusted with nineteen (19) single cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of .35 carats as the double tiered bezel of platinum embraces the gem with its simple prongs. The icy white platinum is the perfect foil for the passionately burning orange-colored opal. A late date chain of 14k white gold accompanies the mid to late 20th century pendant.
Measurements: Pendant is 1-7/8 inches (4.8 cm) in total length. Fire opal is 1-1/8 inches (2.7 cm) by 5/8 of an inch (1.5 cm) in width. Chain is 16 inches (40.5 cm) in length. Weigh including chain is 8.1 grams (5.2 dwt).
Hallmarks: Chain marked 14k and Speidel.
Condition: Excellent. Later chain added to the pendant.
Date & Origin: Circa mid to later 20th century. Chain is American in origin.
Note: All diamond and gemstone weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

So, Don and I ended up ice climbing up Tuckermans Ravine Thanksgiving weekend and topped out at dusk and the visibility was pretty low due to cloud/fog cover. We coiled up our ropes and made our way to Lions Head trail just as it got pitch black out. It got super windy (one gust knocked me over sideways) and then it cleared out! It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! There we were, hiking up on the ridgeline with a zillion stars surrounding us and the other ridges around us outlined with a deep blue line contrasting the black sky. We were going to hike up to the summit but we had friends waiting for us at Pinkham notch and did not want them worrying. So, we decided we want to find a clear night to climb Mount Washington.
Has anyone done this before? Is the weather more stable at night? Let me know!

Adam Blythe, Thor Hushovd and Martin Kohler all hit the ground in a big crash Thursday at the Tour of Qatar. But the three BMC Racing Team riders recovered to finish in the pack as the overall standings remained unchanged heading into the race's final day.
No Serious Injuries
Blythe was the most shaken up of the three involved in the crash in a crosswind section that took down more than 20 riders. BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Blythe has his Bell helmet to thank for preventing more serious injuries. "His helmet broke from the impact and he has a big gash on his left knee," Lelangue said. "Thor was in the middle of everything and someone's chainring hit his shoulder. You can see the mark on his jersey from it, but there's nothing broken, only some bruising." Mark Cavendish (Sky Procycling) won his second stage and Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) kept the overall lead. "In the sprint, we tried to play Taylor Phinney," Lelangue said. "But he hit another wheel and broke a few spokes so he was unable to sprint."
