$4 kosher Spanish wine from TJ's. It tasted, at best, like $4 wine.
2005 Thunderbolt Winery Mourvèdre
2003 Wine Smith Chardonnay
Two hours after opening
Color: Straw, solidly hued, very good clarity
Nose: Not massive. Apples and lemon zest. A hint of Florality And a deeper note reminiscent of cider
Palate: a bit lacking on the entrance, Acid and minerality wrapping lemon rind comes through in the mid palate. The finish is long and palate cleansing like a bit of parsley Without being nearly as green.
Overall: I like the nose the best, the finish next, and I find myself wishing for quite a bit more concentration on the palate.
I wouldn't want to pay $20 or $30 for this wine but at the $16 I got for is perfectly serviceable. This is most certainly an old world style wine, it tastes very little like most common Chardonnays in California today.
That said, I recently found a pretty darn good chardonay for $12 from a winery called Double oak in Nevada County, CA. Aged 100 % on the lees, half in barels that get stirred, half in stainless, not stirred. malo kept down. Very good mid line between oaked and unoaked.

With all the talk about Cycles lately I figured I'd pull one to have with some leftover spaghetti with clams. A 2009 Merlot, $6 World Market purchase from back in 2011. Not bad at all, especially considering the price. PnP; simple but nice fruits and well balanced by some wood and tannins on the finish; 13.5% AbV. I've spent much more for far less.
Something I got from a friend - I'll tell you all about it another night. For now, I think you're all going to want some of this easy drinking, low alc bottle.

[2010 Raised By Wolves Cabernet]
Sorry, I missed this before. I wrote down some tasting notes but don't have them with me now. Summary: The main aromas and flavors were dark fruits and cherry. Juicy, with moderate acidity and tannins. It actually held up well after being open 24 hours. (My wife and I had some on Tuesday night and the rest last night.)
It reminded me of other Washington State Cabs I've had, including some from Columbia Crest (though with less tannin than is typical for Columbia Crest). This makes some sense, I guess, because the 2010 RBW uses Columbia Valley grapes. (I never tried the 2009 RBW Cab, which was apparently very good/somewhat unusual but used grapes from Walla Walla Valley.)

Some of us frequently check back with the original thread(s) when drinking.
I for one store the link in my CT for later reference.
Why not post there and put the link to the post here?
I suppose here is as good a place as any.
(This is about the 2009 Winter's Hill Pinot Noir I'm drinking tonight.)
There were already detailed tasting notes posted on the March 13 offer thread, mostly consistent with what I'm tasting right now - especially bsevern's notes, for which my only minor disagreement is that I wouldn't have said my bottle has a "nice tartness." Not saying bsevern is wrong; I think I might be less sensitive to tartness than average, or alternatively I might just like acidity more than most. (I found this to be the case with the Vino Noceto Riserva Sangiovese as well -- I thought it had a pleasant tartness but no pucker, while my wife thought it had some pucker factor.)
The main reason I'm commenting, though, is to address the question from the earlier discussion about whether this Pinot is more Oregonian or Californian.
Pinot used to be my favorite varietal. But in the mid 2000s, when the cost of a decent Oregon Pinot rose beyond my budget, and when the least expensive Saintsbury Pinot ("Garnet") hit $20 a bottle at my local wine discounter, I gave up. I shifted my interests to Zin, Shiraz/Syrah and Cabs, for which decent bottles could be had for considerably less than a decent bottle of Pinot. And my preferences/palate changed to match.
So I was pretty curious about whether I would still find Pinot enjoyable, at this late date, for less than $15 a bottle.
With my first sample of the Winter's Hill, the memories came rushing back, and they screamed "Oregon" to me.
Imagining a number line with 20 points on it, quintessential California Pinot on the left at point 0 and quintessential Oregon Pinot on the right at point 20, I'd put this wine right around 16 or 17.
It's only after doing some critical analysis that I get what RPM was saying about it falling in between the two styles. Mine is a gut reaction to the overall experience -- bouquet, mid-palate, and finish, without much critical thought. The whole thing together says "Oregon" to me, even if upon further reflection there are a couple of aspects that don't quite fit the Oregonian mold.
Anyhow, it's clear that I still like Pinot quite a bit after several years away from it -- at least this Pinot. Maybe the next time I see a Carneros Pinot pop up here for a reasonable price, I'll bite, just for the sake of comparison.
EDIT: I was ready to post this, and now I have to backpedal a bit. Now that the bottle's been open for a couple hours, it's starting to shift left on my number line. Both the nose and the flavors seem less typically Oregonian now. I still don't think I would call it a California Pinot in a blind taste, but it's not as far to the right on my number line now. Maybe a 13? Now I'll be forced to sample it again tomorrow to see how it evolves. ;)

2005 Ty Caton Racchus Red Reserve Sonona Valley. Found this recently in a local grocery store being displayed in not the best conditions. But surprisingly, this is holding up very well. Good fruit balance and a nice finish. Would this qualify as a library wine now?
2010 Dutcher Crossing Sauv Blanc and 2007 McLaren Syrah
2008 Duckhorn Merlot (just the regular merlot...not the three palms one...that's still in the cellar for later).
Young, but tasty. Between 3 and 4, but closer to 3 on my 5 point scale:
1) awful, never buy again
2) drinkable, perhaps barely, perhaps more than barely, but not worth caring about to buy again
3) decent, a solid wine, worth buying again, but not going to wow anyone
4) an excellent wine. not the most incredible, but getting there, and definitely one to make note of to try to buy again
5) the most outstanding wines I have ever had -- don't care what they cost, they're phenomenal
So, the Duckhorn Merlot tonight rated 3.1 or 3.2 on the above scale.
Caymus Special Selection is an example of a 4.
Silver Oak Napa Valley is close to a 4, but not really a 4 these days.
Opus One is a 4+ -- sometimes just a 4, and sometimes a bit over, but not even a 4.5.
Bond St. Eden is as close to a 5 as I've had -- probably a 5, and if not, it's a 4.9 (gotta leave some room for something to top it, just like the judges do in gymnastics or ice skating at the Olympics...).
I like my rating scale better than the typical 100 point scale. It seems less precise, but for my own purposes, I can more easily tell what I thought of a wine by whether I rated it starting with a 3.something or a 4.something, etc. This means more to me than 88, 89, 90, 91....really? That fine of a gradation? Robert Parker look out, we have a super-taster in the house! (not me...LOL)

I have the M&P9 and the M&P9c and love them both. The compact has become my carry/nightstand gun. I have three different holster for it and an XML rail light for it. The advantages of the M&P are, black stainless steel slide, Interchangeable back straps, loaded chamber indicator, high capacity, low felt recoil, excellent trigger, American made, S&W lifetime warranty.
Some will tell you it does not have a long track record yet but all it need is time for that, that complaint if kind of reaching the bottom of the barrel. True mags are not cheap for them but that too will change in time. Desantis already has a full line of holsters for both the M&P and the M&Pc from IWB and OWB to shoulder rigs. You can even get night sights for them.

Dang, that's a good-lookin' vest! And the armor's okay, I guess.
Well rumor has it the vest came from the best..
To potentially head off some questions later, here is the answer to the obvious for some.
Yes. This is FettPride version 2 armor!!
Now before everyone starts madly PMing poor FP, I will explain how I came to own this armor before its available.
I had asked Chris for chest armor and he was kind enough to update the moulds at that time and instead of giving me version 1, which he knew would shortly be outdated, he sent me the first set of FPv2 chest armor!
I believe I am correct in saying that he will not produce any more of these just yet. He has other things to do at the moment.
I was very lucky to get this and I hope this explanation will stop this thread from earning FP some undeserved FP plays favorites feelings.
I am not a FP favorite
Chris cant really count me as a favorite when I am new and barely have met anyone from these forums can he?
I am however, currently cooler than all you version 1 people
So indulge my newbie like joy in having something no one else (besides RS) has yet..
See this for more info http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=13672
Thank you, thank you to FettPride who has saved a financially challenged youngling from longing for the next best thing and cursing his bad luck for narrowly missing out on it.
I will keep this updated with slow progress photos and hope that you all will critique it for me.
Also, would someone please PM me and explain how to improve my picture posting quality?:o
*Stits in corner and pouts*
I say we take Keegan behind the ol' woodshed and give him 'what for'.
That armor looks like it was made from a deranged set of sprinkler pipe, just because you own it....
All seriousness aside That looks really good, and the vest it's going on looks great too...you lucky devil you.
YOU SUCK! J/k color me jelous.
(Gives evil laugh and goes to sleep with a grin on his face...)
So how close to me do you live again? Hmm....
Show off! :moon
That armor is awesome man! You are lucky Bro!
I'm looking forward to when FP is ramped up and in full production!
Small update.
I messed around with the Floquil Bright Silver on the abdomen piece. The dimond is like my test piece.
I'll finish the silver tomorrow.

Finished the silver paint tonight. Sharp-eyed viewers may notice I layed it on more thickly in some places than others. Though not really recommended I'm sure, it saved me some paint.
looks real nice! FP does some nice work.
lookin great!! nice job
Still testing colors...
Here's the Yellow Zinc Chromate on.
And I still hate you...kbrosseau said:
I've been working out how to do the bumpy looking paint around the dents. I finally settled on just torching them and now I'll repaint that part
Nevermind all the yellow and silver; I've reworked most of it since this was taken. There is still alot for me to learn (by messing up). My only regret is that I have to "learn" on a FP product.

How Does NYT Reporter's Fox Appearance Square With Times Policy Of Protecting Impartiality?
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
While on a Fox News Sunday panel, New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny received feedback from right-wing radio host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham on how the Times should cover the controversy over the terrorist attack in Benghazi during which the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed. This seems to be in conflict with Times guidance against its staff members making appearances that could undermine the impartiality of the paper's journalism.
Discussing the Benghazi attack, Ingraham lectured Zeleny on how the Times should be covering the administration's response to the Benghazi attacks, asking if the paper was "camped outside" of U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice's home to question her on whether she was a "sacrificial lamb" for the Obama administration.
Ingraham's query is based on a false interpretation of what the ambassador said in the days immediately following the attack, which insists that Rice made an unequivocal statement that the attack was spontaneous. In fact, Rice was making a "current best assessment" based on information available at the time. On the issue of the Benghazi attack, conservative media have been trying to create a media narrative where the Obama administration receives the blame.
As Ingraham was telling Zeleny where the Times should station its reporters, Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward quipped to Zeleny, "It's great that you have another assignment editor."
Zeleny's Fox appearance today seems to clash with the Times' ethics policy, which counsels against staffers appearing in forums that express a viewpoint beyond the type of reporting and analysis published in the newspaper. The policy states:
Staff members may appear from time to time on local or national radio and television programs devoted to public affairs, but they should avoid expressing views that go beyond the news and analysis that could properly appear under their regular bylines. Op-Ed columnists and editorial writers enjoy more leeway than others in speaking publicly, because their business is expressing opinions. They should nevertheless choose carefully the forums in which they appear and protect the impartiality of our journalism.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday in this manner certainly appears to lend the Times imprimatur to the program, which is well known for forwarding conservative misinformation, both from its hosts and panelists.
The Times is an established, widely read publication with wide influence. Does it really need to have one of its reporters appear on a panel where he is given on-air instructions on how to cover the news by a right-wing ideologue?

Chinese military leaders made it clear to visiting US Admiral Timothy Keating they expect American naval forces to stay away from getting involved in any action in the Taiwan Straits. General Guo Boxiong told the American his nation must end any sales of arms to the the Taiwan government and opppose any attempt by the island to seek membership in the United Nations as an independent nation. There is some talk in Taiwan of making such an effort.
Taiwan is the last remaining memory of a failed American dream that anti-Communist forces on Taiwan would somehow initiate a military effort to reconquer China and end communist rule. The dream is over and even conservative Bush accepts the reality of modern life– Communist China is here to stay and Taiwan will always be a piece of that reality. The best advice anyone can give Taiwan's leaders is to calm down and cooperate with China because no nation is coming to your assistance if you attempt anything foolish like military action.

Surgery is usually reserved for severe cases of scoliosis with a degree of curvature over 40°-50°.
The goals of surgery are to:
Many types of techniques can be used for scoliosis. These techniques have some or all of the following in common:
Spinal fusion surgery involves joining together adjacent vertebrae to result in growth into one solid bone. This results in permanent restrictions on certain types of movement. The restriction depends on how many bones are fused together. Hardware is used to keep the spine in place while the bones fuse together.
This is one of the most common surgeries performed for scoliosis. This type of surgery is a posterior spinal fusion. A metal rod is attached to each side of the spine by using hooks attached to the vertebral bodies. The spine is then fused with a piece of bone from the hip area. The bone grows in between the vertebrae and holds them together and straight. The metal rods attached to the spine help the backbone remain straight while the spinal fusion takes place.
Small incisions are made for insertion of a thoracoscope and surgical instruments. Thoracoscopic surgery is less invasive, but in some studies surgery and recovery times appear to be longer than conventional surgery. Although there are some benefits to this type of surgery, serious post-surgical complications are possible. If this surgical procedure is an option for your child, be sure to weigh out all the options with the doctor.
Non-fusion surgical procedures are designed to help the curve correct itself over time. These procedures do not restrict movement once the spine has healed. Some of these are somewhat new procedures, and may not be available everywhere.

Results 521 to 540 of 604
Two reasons to want Homeworld at the moment:
1. To try and obtain publishing rights for it, so it can be made available online, say on GOG.
2. To develop it as a franchise in whatever direction that is.
Come on, whenever Relic is mentioned or people clamour for a new RTS, people often shout out for Homeworld 3. It's on name alone. Look at Diablo 3. That said, I don't disagree with you. There's really no reason why Relic or Sega would buy it, other than for reason 1, buuuuuuuuuut, I could see Relic, if they really wanted to work on it, trying to twist Sega's arm by saying that they'd be happy Sega not buying it, if they were able to work on an RTS that was a spiritual successor. I don't see it happening.
If Relic were left to keep on making awesome 3rd person shooter/melees, or awesome RTS, I'd be perfectly happy.
That's lame. Anyhow, an interesting detail from Polygon.
Lawyers for companies like 505 Games, South Park Digital Studios, Viacom, Crytek, Games Workshop, Yuke's, and others — all companies that had business relationships with THQ — were either present in person or on a conference call to acknowledge the resolution of their objections. Many will carry over to new relationships; for example, Games Workshop will "work in good faith" with Sega — the new owner of Relic, the studio that created titles based on its intellectual property — in order to satisfy its objections to the sale.
Supposing that 'in good faith' means a transition of the 40K license (considering they already have the Fantasy one so I don't know why GW would need to say they had faith in something they already had faith in) this leads me to believe that Relic are, indeed, working on Dawn of War 3, as has been hinted to a few times prior. I very much doubt it being Space Marine 2, or something akin to that, if only because the engine that was used for that was the one made by Vigil for Darksiders and later augmented. The hassle of getting that engine from THQ/Vigil would surely be frustrating.
Surely Relic would at least be in pre-development for their post-COH2 title at any rate and it being DOW3 would make a lot of sense. Of course, there's no real way to be absolutely sure, but I imagine we'll find out more as time goes on.
So that means GW's objection was approved?
Fucking Legalese, I work in a law firm and still can't decipher half the shit I'm reading...
As for Spess Mehreen 2, if they get their assets back (and I don't see why not) it's still a good deal.
CA's hack'n'slash team is working on the Alien game but I'm sure they can lend their expertise if needed. And they'd better get Mark Strong on board again.

If they can't get Mark Strong again chances are Games Workshop won't let them make another Space Marine. After hearing his initial voice work for Captain Titus they decided he was the definitive voice for a Space Marine.

Look at the amount of excitement it built up just being announced. They ran X-Coms advertising campaign perfectly. So many people got it on hype, many people who got it never heard of X-Com before apart from the weird shooter game that was going to come out.
It sold pretty well on consoles, where the previous versions didn't even exist.
Yes, it was helpful that it was a good game (though it needs it's bugs sorted out big time), but if you look at the amount of advertising and drumming up of "an old series brought back!" that made people take interest suggests that if Homeworld did get remade or Homeworld 3 was announced, they could use the same tactics as Firaxis to sell their game.
If the newest X-Com had of been called anything else, it wouldn't have done nearly as well as it did.

However, 'Homeworld' is a still a good game name, and good game names are hard to find these days given the proliferarion of domain campers.
I figure there's not much point in calling a new game 'Homeworld 3' though given the time and that it would be a re-imagining and instead go for, but more 'Homeworld (insert minor subtitle)'
Damn it, I really wanted to see darksiders III through V :/
Finished second one a day ago and, honestly, I would put it in top 10 singleplayer games I've ever played.Hear from the spirit-world this mystery:
Creation is summed up, O man, in thee;
Angel and demon, man and beast art thou,
Yea, thou art all thou dost appear to be!
As for Spess Mehreen 2, if they get their assets back (and I don't see why not) it's still a good deal.
Anyhow, I'll keep my eye out for any new information, but I imagine this thread will come alive again once the legacy IP sale happens.

So I've been trying to do a bit more looking around, see if there was any more information. Scraps, mostly, but there is something vaguely interesting, to do with Relic. Two things, I suppose.
The first is a minor one, if you can call that fact that it seems a lot of the devs have said COH2 is 'pretty much done'. So, people wanting that, you can be happy!
The second one is regarding what Sega have with Relic, including the 40K license. So someone on NeoGAF bought the ruling for Relic and Sega. In it, it goes into a little more detail about what Relic has. Apart from, oddly, Retribution, DOW1 and its expansions, as well as the expansions to COH, every product is listed as something Sega can now publish. I'm not sure why Chaos Rising is there and not the others; I don't know and I won't pretend to know.
Further, the ownership also includes Space Marine and the console arcade games "Kill Team". I didn't know the latter was even by Relic, but they obviously had a hand in it. It also means that should Relic wish to make another Space Marine title, they could do with no problem (engine issues aside, as mentioned previously, but who knows to what extent that actually is an issue). There is no mention of any sort of Dawn of War 3, nor the suspected MOBA styled game they were working on. Well, sort of. I'll get back to that in a mo.
The ruling also includes domain names, mostly things related to what we already know; COH, DOW, Dark Millennium Online (the 40K MMO THQ was working on (incidentally, this is what Vigil was actually created for, with Relic providing support)). And then there's this: dawnofwar3.com That's actually not surprising, as most publishers/developers buy the domain name for potential sequels, especially if they're numbered, to prevent non-official sites or any trouble later on. That's straight forward. However, it can also be taken to meaning they are working on a DOW3; there's no DOW4/5/6 mentioned in the domain names, so that gives it a bit more credence. Hardly Watergate levels of evidence here though.
Before I get into, what I think, is the most interesting part, it's worth going back to the Games Workshop license itself. Sega don't have the 40K one. The idea that GW would work with Sega over it wasn't them allowing them to simply carry on, nor the license having been transferred, it was simply that GW's objection to the sale with concerns over their license would be solved in its own time, that in the mean while they'd be happy for Sega to have publishing and access to what's already been released. It seems utterly unlikely though that they wouldn't come to a formal agreement. Who knows, Sega might even get a "Buy one Warhammer license, get a second half price!" deal.
Now the interesting part, the suspected MOBA. Another poster, a couple of posts down from the link above, highlighted another part. In it, it refers to the GW license, including Dawn of War...and "The Gorkamorka Universe", "The Necromunda Universe" (I'd never heard of these two prior, so Wikipedia links for those as unaware as myself) and - drum-roll please - Atlas. Atlas is the name for the suspected MOBA. Here's the obvious comment - these are all, strictly, 40K properties, or at least spin-offs of. The MOBA, if it's still in development, is a 40K game. Given THQ's efforts to go into FTP territory, the success of MOBAs, the success of The Last Stand in DOW2 (as well, surely, as the DLC for it), it would seem likely that Atlas is a combination of these efforts. And you know what, I think I'm okay with that.
So there you go. A re-cap, if you got lost:
1. COH2 is still very much a game, a game that's basically done. A lead's letter to fans/community can be read here.
2. Sega and Games Workshop still need to address the 40K licenses for Relic.
2a. This is likely because Relic was/is working on Dawn of War 3.
2b. This is also possibly because they were additionally working on a 40K MOBA.
Whatever, I can imagine me being excited at the next game reveal from Relic, that's for sure!
In other, general, THQ news, Jason Rubin scuttles out of THQ with all he can hold. There's also been a few press releases, but I'm sure your minds will be able to come up with both the accurate contents of them, as well as that which would've been more interesting anyhow.

Well before the auction these objections were brought up. GW probably did not want their license transferred to a company they do not like. I am sure with Sega getting the fantasy license they will be ok with it unless they rather keep the two separate.

And since I'm spilling stuff anyway (how legally binding is an NDA with a company that's gone bankrupt? I could probably make the same argument that THQ made to South Park Studios and GW...): Yes. Project Atlas was planned as a F2P 40k MOBA-like. It was going to essentially be Last Stand, but instead of being locked into one Arena the hero characters would move between arenas as sort of a labyrinth (i.e. you'd have a starting arena, complete however many waves it throws at you, and then four doors open up and you can go through any of them, repeat until you get to a final arena). Also instead of generic hero characters like Force Commander and War boss, etc, they'd be actual characters from the fluff (assuming GW approved it, since they're not terribly keen on mixing fluff). Necromunda and Gorkamorka were probably planned as DLC labyrinth packs. The pitch doc I read also mentioned a crafting system.
DoWIII was being re-worked into a F2P as well, since the belief was that in the time between CoH2's release and the planned release for DoWIII, the market for full retail RTSes wouldn't be able to support more than StarCraft at the AAA budget level (which was lame, since DoWIII was going back to a more traditional base-building model, but at WH40k: Apocalypse scale. The story outline was also pretty cool).
After F2P DoW there were really tentative plans for a F2P Homeworld, but I never saw any docs or demos for that, and frankly I'm not really sure how it could have worked, since Homeworld was always much more about the single player campaign than multiplayer. I had also heard that THQ had tried to work with 'an eastern european company' (possibly GoG) to get a re-release of the previous Homeworld games going, but it never worked out (presumably stripping WON out of Homeworld and Homeworld: Cataclysm and writing a whole new multiplayer back-end was too expensive).
They can't be serious,DOW3 is F2P game,wtf were they thinking.

Well, I just received my first helmet today. It was a purchase from ebay.
Overall it looks good, I have some work ahead of me to get it perfect but hey what do you expect from this hobby. I will have pictures later. Im not sure who the original maker is. Maybe some of you can help me.
So i checked it over today on my lunch break and almost everything is the same size as WOF's templates.
:Things that are different from WOF's templates:
Its overall height from the dome down is a little shorter.
the ear pieces are smaller width and height wise.
the section that the ears attach to is smaller width and height wise.
now I have a question about this. Should i make the ears and things bigger like WOF's templates or should i just leave them as they are?

I'm always sorry to see summer and beach reading days come to an end. I admit to having spent many hours sitting on the beach reading this summer BUT not necessarily reading "beach reads."
"Beach reads" has a bad rap. One definition I saw recently: breezy, lightweight for pool or lakeside reading." Well, many of the books I read this summer at the Lake Michigan beach do not fit this definition. Among others, I read and recently blogged about The President's Club. I read The Tiger's Wife for August book group; Canada, Richard Ford's new book; A Hundred Flowers; Destiny of the Republic; By the Iowa Sea; The Snow Child; among others, all from our collection.
Although I am hoping for at least one more weekend of beach reading, I'm moving into another season of reading—primarily in my living room instead of the beach—but my book choices aren't going to change.
What did you read this summer? Do your reading choices vary by season?

Volquez twirls one-hitter against Astros
Volquez twirls one-hitter against Astros
SAN DIEGO -- A good manager, they say, is always thinking two steps ahead, which is why Bud Black had to at least consider the possibility Thursday that Edinson Volquez might not be able to finish what he started against the Astros. So, late in the game, and while the Padres were hitting, Black ambled up to Volquez in the dugout and attempted to gauge exactly how his pitcher was feeling, what he had left in the tank and if he was able to finish what he fashioned into the best start of his career. Black didn't get very far.
"I thought about it for a split-second," said Black, when asked if he considered letting his All-Star closer Huston Street pitch the ninth inning. "But when I talked to [Volquez] in the dugout, he had a good look in his eye." And, apparently, a good nose for the finish. Still throwing hard, with a big curveball and with his devastating changeup still dancing, Volquez easily put the finishing touches on a one-hit shutout, leading the Padres to a 1-0 victory over the Astros before 26,735 at Petco Park. "This is the best feeling," Volquez said. Volquez (6-7) needed 117 pitches to get 27 outs, walking three with five strikeouts. The lone hit he allowed was a squibber that glanced off his glove in the fourth inning as Matt Downs was able to reach base on what was rightly ruled an infield single. If Volquez is able to field the ball and throws Downs out at first base ... well, let's just say that the Padres remain the only Major League franchise without a no-hitter. "When you look at the fourth inning and realize that's the only hit you're going to get, you're just glad you didn't get no-hit," Downs said. Just don't mention as much to Volquez. "I don't want to talk about it," Volquez joked of the near-miss. "I've got to keep working on my hands ... my backhand. I've got to take some ground balls tomorrow." The Padres (39-55), who took the last three games of this four-game series against the Astros (34-59), will be perfectly content to let Volquez rest after Thursday, a taxing effort for a pitcher who has answered the call all 20 times his turn in the rotation has come up this season. The one-hitter was the first for the Padres since Mat Latos did so on May 13 of 2010 against the Giants. Volquez became the first Padres pitcher to toss a one-hit shutout at home since Andy Benes did so on July 3, 1994, against the Mets. This was just the third shutout tossed by a Padres pitcher at Petco Park since the downtown ballpark opened in 2004. Jake Peavy ('09) and Ismael Valdez ('04) had the others. "That shows you how nasty, how good a pitcher [he is] at any given time," said Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso, who came to San Diego in the same December deal with Volquez and his catcher Thursday, Yasmani Grandal. "At any given time, he could throw a no-hitter. I say that because today he had that type of stuff where he had control of everything. And you even saw the first hit was a hit that was a lucky hit. He's just that type of guy where at any given time he's going to blow you away." Even in the ninth inning, Volquez still held his stuff. He fired a 93-mph fastball by Marwin Gonzalez and, later in that at-bat, threw a curveball for a called strike before striking him out on a changeup. "You could see the confidence in him ... the first pitch to the last," Black said. "They didn't hit many balls hard off him. He was in command of the game." There have been times this season when Volquez has shown stuff as good as what he displayed against the Astros. He allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers in May. But there's been times when his command has eluded him, like when he walked six in a game against the Rockies, or the two starts in which he allowed six runs. But, when he's on ... "He just knows how to harness his aggressiveness," said San Diego pitching coach Darren Balsley, who started working closely with Volquez on his mechanics and approach in February. "There's times when he'll overthrow and gets wild. And there's times when he lets his guard down." But Balsley saw none of that Thursday. He saw a polished pitcher, a focused, well-prepared pitcher who, teamed with a rookie catcher, put together a gem. "That was a lot of fun," Grandal said. "It would've been even better if we would've gotten that little jam shot [by Downs] out, then we would've thrown a no-hitter. But I'm happy with a one-hitter." The Padres scored the only run they needed in the first inning when Logan Forsythe singled in a run off Astros pitcher Lucas Harrell (7-7). That hit allowed Alexi Amarista, who doubled to start the inning, time to score.

it is very unusual for the Chinese government ever to admit there are problems between officials and the general public which they view as an admission of failure on their part. The official version of most events ordinarily attributes any violent display of anger as instigated by outside sources. However, in a remarkable display of candor, the government admitted that up to 30,000 people participated in violent demonstrations against a police report which claimed a young girl due to drowning. The girl's family believes she was raped and murdered by there men, one of whom was the son of a local deputy mayor. Thousands marched through the streets in Weng'anm county, chanting holding sighs saying, "Justice to the People" and burning official buildings and smashing cars.
Police insist it was a drowning but few in the community accept the official version of death. This is among the few such mass demonstrations in which the Chinese government acknowledged the existence of violence and at least presented another version of events. Perhaps, this is an important step in developing democracy at the local level in China.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Over the weekend I ran into an friend who owns one of Milwaukee's awesome indy bookstores. I'd mentioned to him in the past that he should carry zines, and he's always hemmed and hawed about it.
When I saw him on Sunday he said he was open to having a discussion about it. So I'm asking for talking points to convince him. I think it would be great, as MKE doesn't have that many places that carry zines.
Questions I'm anticipating:
1) Which Zines? …Continue

I recently bought a nikon D70, but I'm going to need a tripod soon and am looking for recommendations.
I'm looking more at an aluminum one rather than carbon fibre. I'm pretty tall - 6'2 - so would need something suitable for my height.
I may also consider getting an L bracket for the camera, but at this point what tripods do you all use? Do you go for models that have custom rather than built in heads (which I guess can be replaced)?
My budget would probably be £250 top. But would consider going higher if spending the extra makes sense.
Any help gratefully received as I can't judge a good one until I get some experience as a user of tripods!

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > (Re)designing Democracy for the Long Term
Many of our most pressing political problems involve long-term issues such as environmental degradation, debt accumulation, education spending, or the viability of social policies such as public pension plans. Short electoral cycles create strong incentives for politicians to adopt policies that produce near-term net benefits. Moreover, individuals are often more concerned about their own immediate interests than they are about long-term collective problems. For example, environmental concerns have consistently ranked far behind immediate economic concerns in almost all democracies since the start of the "great recession" in 2008. But is this a structural problem with democracies? Are democracies inherently vulnerable to fall prey to the concerns of the present? While there are features of democratic systems that create and nurture short-term imperatives, democracies are not without resources for overcoming these challenges. Democracies have the capacity to be dynamic and can, at least in principle, remain responsive to both short- and long-term concerns. If democratic regimes are to overcome their own susceptibilities to short-termism, they need to be equipped to do so. Please join this seminar for a discussion on (re)designing democracy for the long-term. More specifically, what institutions and practices – constitutional protections, new forms of citizen engagement, alternative metrics and indicators, etc. – can help produce a better balance between the interests of the present and those of the future? The workshop will begin with short presentations by specialists in the field on aspects of institutional design for long-term decision making and then open up for discussion and deliberation. A light lunch will be served.

World No. 28 Daniel Berger fashioned a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to match overnight leader Jordan Spieth on 12-under 268, and then lost on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th, with Spieth holing out for birdie-3 from a green side bunker to claim the trophy.
Making his tournament debut, overnight leader and World No. 6 Jordan Spieth tossed up an even-par 34-36=70 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to match Daniel Berger on 12-under 268, and then defeated him on the first playoff hole with a hole-out birdie-3 from a green side bunker at the par-4 18th.

Conn-Selmer's Division of Education is committed to creating partnerships with the music education community to advance the positive growth and development of first-class school music programs.
From sharing the latest arts advocacy information to working hand-in-hand with teacher development offerings, the VIP initiative serves as a source-of-support for music educators around the world.
John Stoner, President/CEO of Conn-Selmer, Inc., commented, "We have truly enjoyed having these exemplary educators with us. Initially we thought it was our goal to avail the teachers to the importance of developing a mutual bridge-of-communication, but we are quickly discovering *we* are the ones learning more from our guests than we could ever measure. We look forward to inviting many more new people to our Conn-Selmer home."
According to Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Vice President of Education, "Conn-Selmer's VIP program is unique, exciting, awakening, enlightening and a great experience for everyone involved. It is a ONE OF A KIND program that brightly shines the spotlight-of-recognition directly on the visiting guests. We consider this to be a privilege and an honor to extend a red carpet invitation to those dedicated music educators who are committed to "program excellence." The synergistic opportunities of creating a working-growing-powerful partnership with music-in-our schools is the ultimate win-win, particularly when it is guided by the mission-oriented passion of every master teacher. Most importantly, we are certain the real benefactors are the young musicians in the rehearsal rooms today who are destined to be "the leaders of tomorrow."'

It's unclear what causes the foramen ovale to stay open in some people, though genetics may play a role.
An overview of normal heart function in a child or adult is helpful in understanding the role of the foramen ovale before birth.
Your heart has four pumping chambers that circulate your blood:
Because a baby in the womb isn't breathing, the lungs aren't functioning yet. That means there's no need to pump blood to the lungs. At this stage, it's more efficient for blood to bypass the lungs and use a different route to circulate oxygen-rich blood from the mother to the baby's body.
The umbilical cord delivers oxygen-rich blood to the baby's right atrium. Most of this blood travels through the foramen ovale and into the left atrium. From there the blood goes to the left ventricle, which pumps it throughout the body. Blood also travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle, which also pumps blood to the body via another bypass system.
When a baby's lungs begin functioning, the circulation of blood through the heart changes. Now the oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs and enters the left atrium. At this point, blood circulation follows the normal circulatory route.
The pressure of the blood pumping through the heart usually forces the flap opening of the foramen ovale closed. In most people, the opening fuses shut, usually sometime during infancy.

My God, I've been vaguely aware of the HTML5 video train wreck but I hadn't realised just how much of a fucking abortion the rest of the HTML5 'standard' is.
I had the misfortune to read the section on character encodings over the weekend, and it almost made me lose my lunch.
Not only does it codify the crappy and unreliable practice of applying heuristics to guess character encodings, it also requires that a user agent deliberately ignore the explicitly specified character set in some cases — for example, text explicitly labelled as US-ASCII or ISO8859-1 MUST be rendered as if it were Windows-1252!
It justifies this idiocy, which it admits is a 'willful violation', on the basis that it aids compatibility with legacy content. By which of course it means "broken content", since this was never actually necessary for anyone who published content correctly even with older versions of HTML.
But that doesn't make any sense — surely legacy content won't be identifying itself as HTML5? It might be reasonable to do these stupid things for legacy content, but not HTML5. The complete mess we have with charset labelling is a prime example of where the RFC1122 §1.2.2 approach of being lenient in what you accept has turned out to be massively counter-productive — if we'd simply refused to make stupid guesses about character sets in the first place, then people would have actually started getting the labelling right.
The sensible approach to take with HTML5 would just have been to say "All content which identifies itself as HTML5 MUST be in the UTF-8 character encoding. A conforming user agent MUST NOT attempt to interpret content as if it has any other encoding; any invalid UTF-8 byte sequences MUST be shown using the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD (�) or equivalent."
Or, if we really must continue to permit the legacy crap 8-bit character sets, it should have said that the content MUST be in the character set specified in the HTTP Content-Type: header or equivalent <META> tag.
Keep the stupid heuristics for legacy content by all means, but it should be forbidden to render HTML5 content in a character set other than the one it is labelled with, and all invalid characters (including the C1 control characters in ISO8859-1 which in Windows-1252 would map to extra printable characters like the Euro sign) MUS be shown as U+FFFD (�). And then the people who publish broken crap would see that they're publishing broken crap, rather than thinking it's OK because the browser they use just happens to assume the same character set as the system they're publishing from.
To me, HTML5 looks less like a standard and more like a set of broken hackish kludges to work around the fact that people out there aren't actually capable of following a standard.

Back when I was shooting competitively, we used closed-cell-foam sleeping-bag pads.
There's a kind of closed-cell foam that's blue in color and only about 1/2" thick, but it's lightweight, it has a really tough skin, and it's really hard to damage. It used to be available cut-to-order, so you could get almost any size pad.
IPSC prone shooting used to start from standing, so the pad had to absorb not only a full-grown adult falling on it, but also abrasion from skidding against dirt and stones. This blue stuff really worked.

Its a 2002 war eagle 754 shadow. There is not much info on that model, it is the only true v-hull war eagle ever built and only a handful of them were made. It is 17'x54" with a side console and the hull is built and rides similar to the v-hull of a bass boat with a sharp v at the bow. Not the semi-v hull that all other aluminum boats are.The motor is a 2005 90 Mercury saltwater 2 stroke with oil injection and a 22 pitch stainless quicksilver prop. It has a stainless pro hijacker jack plate on it, runs a little over 50mph and has absolutely no problems with power under a heavy load. It is on a 2002 galvanized silver sands trailer. It has a carpeted floor, radio w/ cd player and 2 speakers, floor lights, a bench seat with storage underneath and a seat pedestal in the front and back. The boat has some damage that has been repaired along the drivers side. Has a full custom flip open welded duck blind with fast grass that goes with it. The motor has given me absolutely no problems, runs great and has been well maintained. Used primarily in freshwater and in the bays duck hunting and fishing. The boat is very fast, rides and handles better than any alluminum boat i've ever riden in, and has done everything I have ever asked of it. I hate to sell it but I have moved to virginia in an area that makes it nearly impossible to utilize this boat like it should be used. I have the titles in hand.

MMA movie with sound to QT
Mathematica graphics is in PostScript, and its sound is probably
embedded in a funny place because the conversion to Quicktime (PICS) strips
the sound away. I could handle this by recording the anolog movie and
re-digitizing, but I would be cleaner to stay digital. A movie Editor like
Adobe Premier 4.0 can probably blend graphics and sound files, but the
sound must be in a snd or aiff file. MMA, it seems, can only output a file
of numeric sound samples as text.
SO: what software can convert a txt file to a snd or aiff file?

Post subject: LITC's 2013 Rick Spielman Vikings Mock V2.0 (1/9/13)
Hey folks,
Bitter end to a manic season. Tough pill to swallow, but we move on.
Here's version #2 of my Rick Spielmany 2013 Vikings mock for those who enjoy my take.
For those who don't know how I put these together, here's a little rundown of what I do. Like every GM out there, Rick Spielman has tendencies and tells. I've put together a list of schools that Rick Spielman has favored and/or drafted heavily from over his tenure with the Vikes. I stick only to those schools. Does it mean that Rick won't look outside of those schools? Of course not. But for the purposes of this mock, it keeps everything in check. Then I take a look at everything Rick has said publicly and try to analyze those statements objectively. After that, I put a common sense list of team needs together and fill in the holes with targeted players based on CBS Sportsline's current rankings. I do my best to remain objective through the process. These mocks aren't made to fulfill my whims or desires, and these selections wouldn't necessarily be my choices if I were GM. My ultimate goal is simply to make a realistic mock through the perspective of our GM as I understand it.
So here's V 2.0:
(1) 23:
Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
(rated #18 overall by CBS Sports)
(2) 52:
Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
(rated #53 overall by CBS Sports)
(3) 83:
Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
(rated #78 overall by CBS Sports)
(4) 99:
Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas
(rated #108 overall by CBS Sports)
(4) 117:
Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State
(rated #135 overall by CBS Sports)
(5) 148:
Cory Grissom, DT, South Florida
(rated #155 overall by CBS Sports)
(6): 179:
Earl Wolff, SS, N.C. State
(rated #197 overall by CBS Sports)
PROJECTED ROSTER (w/o FA):
QB 7 Christian Ponder
QB 14 Joe Webb
QB 4 McLeod Bethel-Thompson
RB 28 Adrian Peterson
RB 32 Toby Gerhart
RB 48 Matt Asiata
FB 42 Jerome Felton
WR 12 Percy Harvin
WR 11 Cobi Hamilton
WR 81 Jerome Simpson
WR 17 Jarius Wright
WR 84 Michael Jenkins
TE 82 Kyle Rudolph
TE 89 John Carlson
TE 40 Rhett Ellison
OT 75 Matt Kalil

OT 73 DeMarcus Love
OT 78 Troy Kropog
OG 74 Charlie Johnson
OG 63 Brandon Fusco
OG 67 Alvin Bailey
OG 76 Geoff Schwartz
C 65 John Sullivan
C 61 Joe Berger
DE 69 Jared Allen
DE 96 Brian Robison
DE 97 Everson Griffen
DE 91 D'Aundre Reed
DT 93 Kevin Williams
DT 98 Letroy Guion
DT 90 Fred Evans
DT 94 Cory Grissom
DT 99 Christian Ballard
OLB 52 Chad Greenway
OLB 56 Gerald Hodges
OLB 51 Larry Dean

ILB 54 Jasper Brinkley
ILB 57 Audie Cole
CB 20 Chris Cook
CB 27 Xavier Rhodes
CB 26 Antoine Winfield
CB 21 Josh Robinson
CB 24 AJ Jefferson
CB 35 Marcus Sherels
FS 22 Harrison Smith
FS 41 Mistral Raymond
SS 33 Jamarca Sanford
SS 37 Earl Wolff
K 3 Blair Walsh
P 5 Chris Kluwe
LS 46 Cullen Loeffler

Also, for those interested, my projected roster was without FA.
My current top 10 Free Agent Targets are as follows:
1. Jarius Byrd, S, Buffalo Bills
2. Dwayne Bowe, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
3. Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay Packers
4. Sean Smith, CB, Miami Dolphins
5. Danny Amendola, WR, St. Louis Rams
6. Andy Levitre, OG, Buffalo Bills
7. Henry Melton, DT, Chicago Bears
8. Louis Delmas, S, Detroit Lions
9. Rey Maualuga, LB, Cincinnati Bengals
10. Matt Moore, QB, Miami Dolphins
If we were able to sign 2-3 of these guys, it would completely change the equation. But there's really no way to realistically predict any of these signings.

I think that is a very solid approach to the offseason. Those first 5 picks of Rhodes, Ogletree, Hamilton, Bailey and Hodges all fill needs and seem to be liked by most around here. If Rhodes is the BPA on Spielman's board @ 23 I have no problem with the selection. Love Ogletree in the 2nd maybe it happens. I've heard good things about the other three players as well. Very thought out mock LITC. Well done.

LITC- Always a fan of your mocks (and posts for that matter). It is pretty interesting how Spielman has gotten a bit of a reputation for drafting and targeting players from certain schools (Notre Dame, Arkansas etc) and I wonder if it is going to eventually start hurting his ability to smokescreen/remain unpredictable in the draft process. Theres no doubt he's done pretty well in the last 2 drafts, and I hope he can contine that trend going forward.
In regards to the actual draft: I have been on board with Rhodes since last years draft and I've only warmed up to it more with the development of Seattles defense. Big corners have changed everything for them. I'm a huge fan of Ogletree and at this point I think he is a better fit scheme wise then Teo (tho Spiel loves his golden domers). I also wouldnt mind the two arkansas players, especially Bailey. 3 year starter on an interior line in the SEC is a pretty good prerequisite for the NFL.
I'm very curious to see how the offseason unfolds (Harvin saga, restructures/resigns, FA, predraft, coaching changes) because what we do with Harvin, and in early FA will directly impact our draft plans. No matter how ya slice it, Ricks gonna have a busy offseason

It's definitely a peculiar draft to try and figure out.
First, there's the Te'o conundrum. Will he or won't he be available at #23? Basic common sense tells us no, but he definitely hurt his stock with a poor showing in their bowl game. And Spiel loves his domers above all else. But it's getting to the point where I think overall I prefer Ogeltree over Te'o as well. And probably from a scheme perspective too. But how do you pass on Te'o if he is there? I don't see Rick passing on him, but as of right now I don't think he'll be there. Time will tell.
I really wish we could nab our WR in the 1st, but beyond Keenan Allen, I just don't like any of them there. And Allen will most likely be gone. I like Woods if he slides in the 2nd or if we trade Harvin, but I wouldn't touch him in the 1st.
But so much of this is going to change if we are players in FA.

I know you are using CBS rankings, I dont think Hodges or Bailey fall that far. Hodges could be one of the better player at LB in this draft, im surprised at the lack of hype he is getting. Great leader, great tackler and a good athlete. He could play WLB or MLB in the Vikings defense.

I would love to see Rhodes end up in Minn. One of our weakest links is press coverage and he excels at that. He has the typical size that the Vikings always seem to go for.
Ogeltree would be good value in the second. I think he will be a workout warrior at the combine though and bump up his draft stock to mid first round. He played a great bowl game but still needs to improve against the run.

Any draft that can get even 3 of these 4 of Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State, Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia, Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas, Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State .... would be a coup for us.
I would hope that after player evaluations and what not, when I do my mock later in the offseason, if can somewhat resemble this one.

I love this draft except for the lack of wide receivers drafted. If we extend Harvin and pick up Jennings i think this would be an ideal draft and off season. I love the presentation of this post and probably the best realistic draft i've seen so far

Thanks. The lack of WRs concerns me as well, but I don't force anything in these drafts and as I'm not projecting FA it's not that big of an issue. I have little doubt we'll pick up some viable option there, be it Jennings, Bowe or Amendola.

Well, you and I both know that these rankings are extremely fluid. You very well could be right, and who knows what the picture will look like after the combine. But it's simply not a viable option at this point to base it off my gut, so the I keep it simple and use CBS's rankings.

Im a huge Rhodes fan, i think he and Cook would be nasty.
Overall i would be very happy with this draft. I dont think Ogeltree, Hamilton or Hodges will fall that far but its still early in the process.
Id like to see a free agency, surely Rick will look for one impact player.

The right guys are being targeted at the right positions. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on some of these guys, but they hit needs and do breed some familiarity (the Arkansas WR from Spielman). Landing a draft class right this and hitting on two of the guys you mentioned in free agency would be a huge coup for this team. My ideal pairing would be Greg Jennings and Jarius Byrd. Byrd and Smith would be a fantastic safety tandem, and with the drafted help at corner, our secondary would finally be a strength for once. When Winfield and Robinson are your nickel and dime backs, your secondary is looking solid. Jennings would provide a veteran presence at WR that has actual skills too, something Jenkins and Aromashodu lack.

For informational purposes, I'd like to know how you determined Xaiver Rhodes would be our 1st pick.
To me, based on the last years and Spielman's comments on the draft I'd have to think that our first round pick will be used on either a G, ILB, or WR.
Spielman has shown a tendency to hit needs depending on how strong the position is in the draft. In 2011, QB was a huge need. After an early run on QBs, Spielman knew the rest of the class was weak so he took Ponder. Then in the 2nd round, we knew Shiancoe was on his way out so they took Rudolph in a very weak class. It was so weak, the only other starter from that class is Lance Kendricks and he isn't anything to write home about.
Then last year, our LT spot had a major hole. There was no other prospect that could come in and start from day 1, which is why we went with Matt. Then we move back into the 1st for Harrison, because after Barron and Smith the rest of the class was very uninspiring. CB was a need as well but the draft was deep, which is why we waited until the 3rd round to address it.
Spielman attacks the weaker positions early in the draft, which leads me to believe the first selection will come down to the aforementioned positions. The draft is strong at the top with Guards, ILB's and WR's but it drops off significantly after round 2. Corner, Defensive Tackle, and Outside Linebacker are deep throughout the draft, which is why I have a hard time seeing Rhodes as our first pick.

Finishing third among a field of ten crews, the Golden Griffins' Varsity Eight crossed the finish line at 7:52.3 with a 3.3 second lead over MAAC affiliate Jacksonville (7:55.6). The win marked the Griffs' third of the season over a MAAC opponent with victories over both Fairfield and Loyola at the Jesuit Invitational to open the spring schedule on March 16.
The Varsity Eight included junior Lynna Paradiso (1), senior Stephanie SanFilipo (2), junior Nancy Kennish (3), junior Liz McKinney (4), senior Bridget Laszewski (5), freshman Nora Kennon (6), senior Monica Klenk (7), sophomore Liz Reinwald (8), and freshman coxswain Hannah Blum.

The first step to renewing and refreshing aging skin is selecting a skin cleanser that hydrates for firmness while also encouraging cell turnover so that your most youthful, fresh skin is always near the surface. Murad anti-aging skin cleansers remove surface dirt and residue while moisturizing deeply. Antioxidant ingredients both undo existing environmental damage and prevent against future damage. AHAs and BHAs work to improve cell turnover and reveal more youthful skin. Your anti-aging skin care regimen doesn't simply begin with your treatments and moisturizers. Begin renewing aging skin every time you cleanse. Murad anti-aging skin cleansers, as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful skin that's Better Every Day®.
Before you select your anti-aging skin care regimen, make sure that you know the facts about wrinkles, age spots and the different types of aging skin.
