Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters
We are tucked away in a corner of Boothbay Harbor, away from the great restaurants and the mesmerizing waterfront and footbridge. We have a bench out front if you'd like to sit for a little bit and watch the cars and people go by. We certainly never tire of it. Sometimes you can see a dog hanging out a moving car's window– barking furiously at our little shop. Not angrily. It's more like they're saying "Slow DOWN! I can smell the treats and good times! SLOW DOWN!" More often than not, the car goes through the intersection with that frantic dog hanging out the window because our parking situation is lousy. Very lousy. In the summer, it can definitely be a challenge to get to that bench.
For Dogs and Cats! We specialize in Maine-made treats, toys, leashes and collars. You will also find quality health, grooming, and training aids. We also carry top-notch food!
DOG FOOD IN STOCK: Acana, Blue Buffalo, Bravo (frozen only), Canidae, Earthborn, Honest Kitchen, Nature's Variety (frozen only) Orijen, Stella & Chewys, RAWZ, Taste of the Wild, Wellness and Wilderness.
CAT FOOD: Blue Buffalo, Earthborn, Wellness, RAWZ.
Please don't assume we have your pet's flavor and/or size! Call ahead to make sure we have what you need. If we don't have what you need, we can order larger (12-15lb) bags with enough notice. We cannot special order small (4-6lbs) bags because they come in 4-6 bag bales. Sorry.
The big bags of food are in the shed out back because we have no room in our little shop to display them. So once you've found a -legal- parking spot in Boothbay Harbor, check us out for those big bags. Or you can just call us with your credit card to buy the food and Don will run it out to your car as you pull up on our corner. He'll even give you a receipt like a real store. That's our solution to the lousy parking situation in Boothbay Harbor. We're open to any other creative, low cost ideas.
Anyway, the hour is late as I'm writing this, and there is a February storm crashing on our windows and filling our doghouses up with snow. Thank you for taking the time to stop here and for reading this far. I don't know about you, but I always find I remember the summer better when I'm surrounded by the bite of winter.
Well-behaved dogs on leashes are always welcome in our little shop.
Good night.

Included in: 'Inspirational Motivational Corporate Music' pack
Similar Music: Looking on the Bright Side, Inspirational Motivational Corporate Music
A guitar-driven indie/rock track which captures the excitement of pursuing your dream; truly inspirational and motivational, evoking feelings of hope, happiness and visions of success.
The piece begins within a catchy guitar theme, soon accompanied by a slightly funky bass line and drum rhythm. Everything apart from the main melody drops out at 0:26 until at 34:00 the chorus kicks in with a distorted indie guitar riff, accompanied by the main theme played on a glockenspiel. At 1:05 the intro guitar is solo'd briefly and the 'chorus', with some added orchestration, kicks back in after a classic drum break. The piece concludes calmly as it began, with the main guitar melody.
Ideal for: Business and corporate projects/ adverts/ motivational presentations/ anything which could be enhanced with overly positive music
Sounds a bit like: Kings of Leon, The Temper Trap

This chapter describes the node agents in Application Server. It contains the following sections:
A node agent is a lightweight process that is required on every machine that hosts server instances, including the machine that hosts the Domain Administration Server (DAS). The node agent:
Starts, stops, creates and deletes server instances as instructed by the Domain Administration Server.
Restarts failed server instances.
Provides a view of the log files of failed servers.
Synchronizes each server instance's local configuration repository with the Domain Administration Server's central repository. Each local repository contains only the information pertinent to that server instance or node agent.
The following figure illustrates the overall node agent architecture:
When you install the Application Server, a node agent is created by default with the host name of the machine. This node agent must be manually started on the local machine before it runs.
You can create and delete server instances even if the node agent is not running. However, the node agent must be running before you use it to start and stop server instances.
If you stop the node agent, the server instances it manages are stopped too.
A node agent services a single domain. If a machine hosts instances running in multiple domains, it must run multiple node agents.
You can create and delete server instances without an existing node agent using a node agent placeholder. The placeholder is a node agent configuration created on the Domain Administration Server (DAS) before the node agent itself is created on the node agent's local system.
Once you've created a placeholder node agent, use it to create instances in the domain. However, before starting the instances you must create and start the actual node agent locally on the machine where the instances will reside using the asadmin command. See Creating a Node Agent and Starting a Node Agent
See Also:
You configure and deploy node agents in two ways:
Online deployment, when you know your topology and already have the hardware for your domain.
Offline deployment, when you are configuring domains and server instances before setting up the full environment
Use online deployment if you already know the domain topology and have the hardware for your domain.
The following figure summarizes the online deployment of node agents:
Install and start the Domain Administration Server. Once the Domain Administration Server is up and running, begin either online or offline deployment.
Install a node agent on every machine that will host a server instance.
Use the installer or the asadmin create-node-agent command . If a machine requires more than one node agent, use the asadmin create-node-agent command to create them.
See Creating a Node Agent for more information.
Start the node agents using the asadmin start-node-agent command .
When started, a node agent communicates with the Domain Administration Server (DAS). When it reaches the DAS, a configuration for the node agent is created on the DAS. Once the configuration exists, the node agent is viewable in the Admin Console.
See Starting a Node Agent for more information.
Configure the domain: create server instances, create clusters, and deploying applications.
Use offline deployment to deploy node agents in the domain before configuring the individual local machines.
The following figure summarizes the offline deployment.
Install and start the Domain Administration Server. Once the Domain Administration Server is up and running, begin either online or offline deployment.
Create placeholder node agents in the Domain Administration Server.
See To Create a Node Agent Placeholder for more information.
Create server instances and clusters, and deploy applications.
When creating a server instance, make sure to assign port numbers that are not already in use. Because the configuration is being done offline, the domain cannot check for port conflicts at creation time.
Install a node agent on every machine that will host a server instance.
Use the installer or the asadmin create-node-agent command . The node agents must have the same names as the placeholder node agents previously created.
See Creating a Node Agent for more information.
Start the node agents using the asadmin start-node-agent command .
When a node agent is started, it binds to the Domain Administration Server and creates any server instances previously associated with the node agent.
See Starting a Node Agent for more information.
Because configuration data is stored in the Domain Administration Server's repository (the central repository) and also cached on the node agent's local machine, the two must be synchronized. The synchronization of cache is always done on a explicit user action through the administration tools.
This section contains the following topics:
When a node agent is started for the first time, it sends a request to the Domain Administration Server (DAS) for the latest information in the central repository. Once it successfully contacts the DAS and gets configuration information, the node agent is bound to that DAS.
By default, the asadmin start-node-agent command automatically starts the remote server instances without synchronizing with DAS. If you are starting a remote server instance that is synchronized with the central repository managed by DAS, specify the --startinstances=false option of the asadmin start-node-agent command. Then use the asadmin start-instance command to start the remote server instance.
If you created a placeholder node agent on the DAS, when the node agent is started for the first time it gets its configuration from the central repository of the DAS. During its initial start-up, if the node agent is unable to reach the DAS because the DAS is not running, the node agent stops and remains unbound.
If changes are made in the domain to the node agent's configuration, they are automatically communicated to the node agent on the local machine while the node agent is running.
If you delete a node agent configuration on the DAS, the next time the node agent synchronizes, it stops and marks itself as awaiting deletion. Manually delete it using the local asadmin delete-node-agent command.
If you explicitly start a server instance with the Admin Console or asadmin tool, the server instance is synchronized with the central repository. If this synchronization fails, the server instance doesn't start.
If a node agent starts a server instance without an explicit request through the Admin Console or the asadmin tool, the repository cache for the server instance is not synchronized. The server instance runs with the configuration as stored in its cache. You must not add or remove files in the remote server instance's cache.
The remote server instance's configuration are treated as cache (all files under nodeagents/na1/server1) and owned by Application Server. In extreme cases, if user removes all files of a remote server instance and restarts the node agent, the remote server instance (for example, server1) will be recreated and all necessary files will be synchronized.
The following files and directories are kept synchronized by the Application Server.Table 7–1 Files and directories synchronized among remote server instances
File or directory
All deployed applications. The parts of this directory (and sub directories) synchronized depend on the applications referred to from the server instance. The Node agent does not synchronize any of the applications because it does not reference any application.
Contains configuration files for the entire domain. All the files in this directory are synchronized except runtime temporary files, such as, admch, admsn, secure.seed, . timestamp, and __timer_service_shutdown__.dat.
Directory to store files to be shared by all instances using config named config_name. There will be one such directory for every config defined in domain.xml. All the files in this directory are synchronized to the server instances that are using the config_name.
Folder where Java extension classes (as zip or jar archives) can be dropped. This is used by applications deployed to server instances using config named config_name. These jar files are loaded using Java extension mechanism.
The HTTP document root. In out of the box configuration, all server instances in the domain use the same docroot. The docroot property of the virtual server needs to be configured to make the server instances use a different docroot.
Generated files for Java EE applications and modules, for example, EJB stubs, compiled JSP classes, and security policy files. This directory is synchronized along with applications directory. Therefore, only the directories corresponding to applications referenced by a server instance are synchronized.
lib, lib/classes
Folder where common Java class files or jar and zip archives used by applications deployed to entire domain can be dropped. These classes are loaded using Application Server's class loader. The load order in class loader is: lib/classes, lib/*.jar, lib/*.zip.
Folder where Java extension classes (as zip or jar archives) used by applications deployed to entire domain can be dropped. These jar files are loaded using Java extension mechanism.
The --libraries deploy time attribute for an application can be used to specify runtime dependencies of an application.
To make a library available to the whole domain, you could place the JAR file in domain-dir/lib or domain-dir/lib/classes. (For more information, see Using the Common Classloader in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Developer's Guide. ) This is usually the case for JDBC drivers and other utility libraries that are shared by all applications in the domain.
For cluster-wide or stand alone server wide use, copy the jars into the domain-dir/domain1/config/xyz-config/lib directory. Next, add the jars in classpath-suffix or classpath-prefix element of xyz-config. This will synchronize the jars for all server instances using xyz-config.
In summary:
domains/domain1/lib - domain wide scope, common class loader, adds the jars automatically.
domains/domain1/config/cluster1, config/lib - config wide, update classpath-prefix or classpath-suffix.
domains/domain1/config/cluster1, config/lib/ext - adds to java.ext.dirs automatically.
Configuration files (under domains/domain1/config are synchronized across the domain. If you want to customize a server.policy file for a server1-config used by a stand alone server instance (server1), place the modified server.policy file under domains/domain1/config/server1-config directory.
This modified server.policy file will only be synchronized for the stand alone server instance, server1. You should remember to update the jvm-option. For example: <java-config> ...<jvm-options>-Djava.security.policy=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/server1-config/server.policy</jvm-options></java-config>
When your environment contains large applications to synchronize or available memory is constrained, you can adjust the JVM options to limit memory usage. This adjustment reduces the possibility of receiving out of memory errors. The instance synchronization JVM uses default settings, but you can configure JVM options to change them.
Set the JVM options using the INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS property. The command to set the property is:
asadmin set domain.node-agent.node_agent_name.property.INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS="JVM_options"
For example:
asadmin set domain.node-agent.node0.property.INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS="-Xmx32m -Xss2m"
In this example, the node agent is node0 and the JVM options are -Xmx32m -Xss2m.
For more information, see http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/VMOptions.html.
Restart the node agent after changing the INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS property, because the node agent is not automatically synchronized when a property is added or changed in its configuration.
If your application requires to store and read files in the directories (applications, generated, docroot, config, lib) that are synchronized by the Application Server, use the doNotRemoveList flag. This attribute takes a coma-separated list of files or directories. Your application dependent files are not removed during server startup, even if they do not exist in the central repository managed by DAS. If the same file exists in the central repository, they will be over written during synchronization.
Use the INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS property to pass in the doNotRemoveList attribute.
For example:
<node-agent name="na1" ...>
<property name="INSTANCE-SYNC-JVM-OPTIONS" value="-Dcom.sun.appserv.doNotRemoveList=applications/j2ee-modules/<webapp_context>/logs,generated/mylogdir"/>
Each node agent has its own log file. If you experience problems with a node agent, see the log file at:
node_agent_dir /node_agent_name/agent/logs/server.log .
Sometimes the node agent log instructs you to look at a server's log to get a detailed message about a problem.
The server logs are located at:
node_agent_dir/node_agent_name/ server_name/logs/server.log
The default location for node_agent_dir is install_dir/nodeagents.
For node agents, some tasks must be performed locally on the system where the node agent runs, while others can be performed on the Domain Administration Server. Tasks that need to be performed locally are only available through the asadmin tool running on the machine where the node agent resides. Tasks that operate on the Domain Administration Server are available through the Admin Console and through the asadmin tool
The following table summarizes the tasks and where to run them:Table 7–2 Tasks available through the Admin Console and the asadmin command

For more information, see:
In the tree component, select the Node Agents node.
Click the name of a node agent.
If a node agent already exists but does not appear here, start the node agent on the node agent's host machine using asadmin start-node-agent. See Starting a Node Agent
Check the node agent's host name.
If the host name is Unknown Host, then the node agent has not made initial contact with the Domain Administration Server (DAS).
Check the node agent status.
The status can be:
Running: The node agent has been properly created and is currently running.
Not Running: Either the node agent has been created on the local machine, but never started or the node agent was started but has been stopped.
Waiting for Rendezvous: The node agent is a placeholder that has never been created on the local machine.
Choose whether to start instances on start up.
Select Yes to start server instances associated with the node agent automatically when the node agent is started. Select No to start the instances manually.
Determine whether the node agent has made contact with the Domain Administration Server.
If the node agent has never made contact with the Domain Administration Server, it has never been successfully started.
Manage server instances associated with the node agent.
If the node agent is running, start or stop an instance by clicking the checkbox next to the instance name and clicking Start or Stop.
Because the node agent must be created locally on the machine hosting the node agent, through the Admin Console you can only create a placeholder for a node agent. This placeholder is a node agent configuration for which a node agent does not yet exist.
After creating a placeholder, use the asadmin command create-node-agent on the machine hosting the node agent to complete the creation. For more information, see Creating a Node Agent.
For a list of the steps involved in creating and using node agents, see Deploying Node Agents
In the tree component, select the Node Agents node.
On the Node Agents page, click New.
On the Current Node Agent Placeholder page, enter a name for the new node agent.
The name must be unique across all node agent names, server instance names, cluster names, and configuration names in the domain.
Click OK.
The placeholder for your new node agent is listed on the Node Agents page.
Through the Admin Console you can only delete the node agent configuration from the domain. You cannot delete the actual node agent. To delete the node agent itself, run the asadmin command delete-node-agent on the node agent's local machine. For more information, see Deleting a Node Agent.
Before deleting the node agent configuration, the node agent must be stopped and it must not have any associated instances. To stop a node agent, use the asadmin command stop-node-agent. See Stopping a Node Agent for more information.
In the tree component, select the Node Agents node.
On the Node Agents page, select the checkbox next to the node agent to be deleted.
Click delete.
In the tree component, expand the Node Agents node.
Select the node agent configuration to edit.
Check Start Instances on Startup to start the agent's server instances when the agent is started.
You can also manually start and stop instances from this page.
If this configuration is for a placeholder node agent, when you create the actual node agent using asadmin create-node-agent , it picks up this configuration. For information on creating a node agent, see Creating a Node Agent.
If this configuration is for an existing node agent, the node agent configuration information is synchronized automatically.
You must set an authentication realm for users connecting to the node agent. Only administration users should have access to the node agent.
In the tree component, expand the Node Agents node.
Select the node agent configuration to edit.
Click the Auth Realm tab.
On the Node Agents Edit Realm page, enter a realm.
The default is admin-realm, created when you create the node agent. To use a different realm, replace the realms in all the components controlled by the domain or the components won't communicate properly.
In the Class Name field, specify the Java class that implements the realm.
Add any required properties.
Authentication realms require provider-specific properties, which vary depending on what a particular implementation needs.
The node agent uses JMX to communicate with the Domain Administration Server. Therefore it must have a port to listen on for JMX requests, and other listener information.
In the tree component, expand the Node Agents node.
Select the node agent configuration to edit.
Click the JMX tab.
In the Address field, enter an IP address or host name.
Enter 0.0.0.0 if the listener listens on all IP addresses for the server using a unique port value. Otherwise, enter a valid IP address for the server.
In the Port field, type the port on which the node agent's JMX connector will listen.
If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, the port number must be unique.
In the JMX Protocol field, type the protocol that the JMX connector supports.
The default is rmi_jrmp.
Click the checkbox next to Accept All Addresses to allow a connection to all IP addresses.
The node agent listens on a specific IP address associated to a network card or listens on all IP addresses. Accepting all addresses puts the value 0.0.0.0 in the "listening host address" property.
In the Realm Name field, type the name of the realm that handles authentication for the listener.
In the Security section of this page, configure the listener to use SSL, TLS, or both SSL and TLS security.
To set up a secure listener, do the following:
Check the Enabled box in the Security field.
Security is enabled by default.
Set client authentication.
To require clients to authenticate themselves to the server when using this listener, check the Enabled box in the Client Authentication field.
Enter a certificate nickname.
Enter the name of an existing server keypair and certificate in the Certificate NickName field. For more information, see Working with Certificates and SSL in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Administration Guide.
In the SSL3/TLS section:
Click Save.
You can perform the following node agent tasks with asadmin:
To create a node agent, run the asadmin command create-node-agent locally on the machine on which the node agent runs.
The default name for a node agent is the host name on which the node agent is created.
If you've already created a node agent placeholder, use the same name as the node agent placeholder to create the associated node agent. If you have not created a node agent placeholder, and the DAS is up and reachable, the create-node-agent command also creates a node agent configuration (placeholder) on the DAS.
For a complete description of the command syntax, see the online help for the command.
The following command creates a node agent:
asadmin create-node-agent --host myhost --port 4849 ---user admin nodeagent1
where myhost is the Domain Administration Server (DAS) hostname, 4849 is the DAS port number, admin is your DAS user, and nodeagent1 is the name of the node agent being created.
In the following situations, you must specify a DNS-reachable hostname:
If domains cross subnet boundaries (that is, the node agent and the Domain Administration Server (DAS) are in different domains, for example, sun.com and java.com)
If using a DHCP machine with a host name not registered in DNS.
Specify a DNS-reachable hostname by explicitly specifying the host name for the domain and the node agent when you create them:
create-domain --domainproperties domain.hostName=DAS-host-name create-node-agent --hostDAS-host-name --agentproperties remoteclientaddress=node-agent-host-name
Another solution is to update the hosts hostname/IP resolution file specific to the platform so the hostname resolves to the correct IP address. However, when reconnecting using DHCP you might get assigned a different IP address. In that case, you must update the host resolution files on each server.
For more information, see:
Before a node agent can manage server instances, it must be running. Start a node agent by running the asadmin command start-node-agent locally on the system where the node agent resides.
For a complete description of the command syntax, see the online help for the command.
For example:
asadmin start-node-agent --user admin nodeagent1
where admin is your administration user, and nodeagent1 is the node agent being started.
For more information, see:
Run the asadmin command stop-node-agent on the system where the node agent resides to stop a running node agent. The stop-node-agent command stops all server instances that the node agent manages.
For a complete description of the command syntax, see the online help for the command.
For example:
asadmin stop-node-agent nodeagent1
where nodeagent1 is the name of the node agent.
For more information, see:
Before deleting a node agent, the node agent must be stopped. You can also delete a node agent if it has never been started, or never successfully able to contact the Domain Administration Server (that is, if it is still unbound).
Run the asadmin command delete-node-agent on the system where the node agent resides to delete the node agent files.
For a complete description of the command syntax, see the online help for the command.
For example:
asadmin delete-node-agent nodeagent1
where nodeagent1 is your node agent.
When deleting a node agent, you must also delete its configuration from the Domain Administration Server using either the Admin Console or the asadmin delete-node-agent-config command

InVite® Health's Bilberry Extract is a healthy berry-based supplement option which provides nutritional support for eye health in a very unique manner. Bilberries and Bilberry Extract come from the same family of fruit as blueberries, but are smaller and have a more robust taste. Bilberry Extract and Bilberries are also known to be an excellent source of flavonoids, along with other healthy foods such as red and dark berries, citrus fruits, green tea, dark chocolate, and red wine.
This Northern European antioxidant berry (also known as Vaccinium Myrtillus) is related to the blueberry and provides nutritional support for eye health, eye circulation, night vision, visual stamina, and ocular sharpness. The bilberry has also been known to support colon health associated with occasional diarrhea.
This powerful antioxidant in fruit form that is absorbed very well by the human body is highly beneficial for eye health.
Bilberries grow in very acidic, nutrient-poor soil and earth throughout both temperate and subarctic regions of the world. They are closely related to North American wild blueberries and huckleberries. One defining characteristic of bilberries is that they produce single or paired berries on the bush instead of clusters as the blueberry does. Bilberries are typically collected from forests and then eaten fresh or made into a variety of food dishes. In Europe, they are often made into delicious jams and the famous bilberry pie.
Bilberry extract is also a major component of our Macula Hx® and Macula Advanced Hx® formulas to round out your eye care needs.
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further – great health starts right here at InVite® Health. To ask a question or to purchase your Bilberry Extract, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!
As a dietary supplement for adults, take one (1) vegetarian Vcaps® capsule one (1) to three (3) times per day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Other Ingredients: Rice flour, hypromellose (vegetable capsule), vegetable stearate.
Jerry Hickey is a pharmacist and radio personality and fills the esteemed role of Scientific Director and President of Invite Health. He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user's maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Bilberry…
The other berry in here is bilberry which has many human clinical trials for vision health, many studies on bilberry for vision health. Recently, they took people with myopia. That's nearsightedness. When they gave them bilberry, their eyes focused on things at different distances faster. People with myopia the curvature of their eyeball is off and they can only see things clearly when they're up close. When they gave them bilberry, things that were further away, they could see better and they could focus on them faster, so it really had an effect on their vision.
So, we've done upgrades recently on our eye health formula. We've made two changes in our eye vision formula. One of them is we put in capsules because of the older people were complaining they were having trouble swallowing tablets. So, for those people, we put it in capsules, so that's the first revision we made; and the second one is we added a lot of this cassis berry which is the most powerful antioxidant that we know of as a fruit and it's also absorbed well by humans so it's not just in the test tube. Human clinical trials showed it's absorbed well, and it goes to the eyes.

.338 Caliber (.338) 215 gr. SBTThese bullets have been designed for the 338 Winchester Magnum cartridge. Controlled, but reliable expansion and deep penetration are assured by a heavy double-tapered jacket and hard core. The Sierra Spitzer Boat Tail shape assures a flat trajectory, minimum wind sensitivity and precise accuracy at long range for both bullets. The 215 grain #2610 has been designed as a higher-velocity, lighter bullet for the 338 Winchester Magnum, although it is considered light for the 340 Weatherby Magnum. This bullet is suitable for medium through elk-sized game. The #2610 bullet will reliably withstand 338 Winchester Magnum velocities. Shooters using the 338-06 or similar cartridge must keep loads with the 215 grain #2610 bullet near maximum velocity levels for reliable expansion. Hunting rifles have shown extraordinary accuracy with this bullet in spite of the robust recoil of maximum loads.

|Used on my 2017 Newfoundland moose. 125 yards and a clean shoot thru. Moose went twenty yards and piled up.Best accuracy I have found with bullets in this weight range.

|I use this bullet in a Sauer 202 Rifle 8.5x63 (similar to the .338-06 Ackley) with great success on wild boar. Only one shot kills. Best bullet for boars!

|I am using this bullet in a 338 FEDERAL with excellent results. I chose a upper range H4895 powder charge, reformed Norma 308 brass, CCI primers. This bullet leaves the barrel of my Savage Hog Hunter at 2516fps and gives me MOA accuracy out to 300yds nearly every time. But then again I am shooting the BEST BULLETS MONEY CAN BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On game performance will come in a couple weeks with a trip south for pigs in GA and SC.

|My new 338-'06 Ackley was shooting mediocre groups and then I tested the Sierra 215's with IMR 4064. Instant sub MOA and they dispatch Whitetails like a huge sledge hammer. From 90 to 273 yards they have all been one shot boom splat with a 3 inch exit wounds and near zero meat loss. I love this bullet and you will too!
|Malcolm H of Boxford, Massachusetts
|December 22, 2014
|Fantastic groups from my SAKO TRG-42 in .338 Lapua. sub MOA from 100 - 600yds. Love the bullet "but" Almost impossible to find in MA, NH, ME, CT.
|Mark B of Washington County, New York

|This bullet makes the 338 win mag fun to shoot. In my 338 Win Mag Model 70 they are sub moa at 200 yards. In my 338-06, built on a Mark X Mauser they have been making clover leafs during load development. Using a mid range load in the 338WM I have harvested several deer without destroying as much meat as a 300 WM with a 165 or a 30-06 with a 150. The deer may actually take a few steps and then fall over, where the 300WM with a 165 GK takes them off their feet. If you like venison, the 338 215 works great. I bought the Model 70 for less than the stock and bedding job cost the previous owner. He could not get it to group with expensive bullets that gun writers brag about. After a bunch of sweets solvent, hoppes and JB I got the copper out and the old Model 70 is a hammer. This is the third used rifle I have bought because it would not shoot the bullet of the week to the previous owners expectations, all 3 work great with Sierra Bullets!
|Kenneth C W of Drummond Island, Michigan
|September 3, 2013
|Have been using this bullet in my .338 Federal. Like most cartridges based on the .308 case, this one is very accurate and the 5 or 6 deer I've killed with the cartridge have dropped like they were hit by lightning. ( Well, maybe one or two ran a short distance) I'm sorry Sieraa is out of these because deer season is just ahead and without a supply of these bullets to go with my ReadyToLoad brass I will have to plan on using another rifle. Bummer.

|I'm sold on Sierra Game kings for my .340 WBY. I've taken several elk using 215 grain game kings and the penetration and weight retention are excellent. This was best exemplified when I shot an atypical through the large leg bone just below the front shoulder. The Game King shattered that bone passing through the ribs, lung, heart, stopping just outside the far side of the rib cage.

In this lecture, San Francisco artist Marlene Aron will examine the work of Vincent Van Gogh and Camille Pissarro. Over one hundred slides will be shown, from their earliest drawings and lithographs, to their most beautiful and powerful paintings. She will demonstrate how these two artists, whose shared compassion for the laborer, the peasant, and those who struggled to get by in their daily lives, would be the perfect spokespersons for today's 99% political movement.

GALLERY: Sainsbury's staff in March dance, run and cycle to raise £2,000 for Sport Relief
PUBLISHED: 12:28 25 March 2014 | UPDATED: 09:31 26 March 2014
More than £2,000 was raised by Sainsbury's in March when staff took part in a series of challenges for Sport Relief.
Included in the fund-raising fun were a series of corporate flashmob dances, as part of a national initiative on Friday.
Staff danced on the hour, every hour, on Friday and Saturday, with customers joining in on numerous occasions.
On Saturday, workers raced against firefighters from March in a cycling challenge, with the target of cycling 88 miles - the length of the River Nene.
Farron Davis, the store's PR ambassador, said: "Both teams managed to reach and exceed this target.
"We couldn't have done this challenge without the generous support of staff from New Vision Fitness at the George Campbell Leisure Centre, who attended the cycling challenge and advised our customers and colleagues about using the spinning cycles and facilities."
In addition, Julie Wenn and Lewis Taylor ran the Sport Relief mile in Milton on Saturday alongside regional colleagues and Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King. Both Julie and Lewis completed the run in less than seven minutes.
Store manager Graeme Speke joined other regional managers by braving the cold waters of the Wash, near Hunstanton, for a swim.
Staff also took part in a regional tag rugby competition, finishing as runners-up.
The fund-raising total was topped up by sales of Sport Relief merchandise.

(Reuters) - Sarah de Vries started running away when she was 13, in 1983. She lived in cheap apartments and grim hotels in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia - places that would let a teenager turn tricks. Later, she got hooked on heroin.
Sarah's big sister, Maggie, remembers a bubbly, adorable baby. But life was not always easy. Of mixed race, with some black and aboriginal ancestry, Sarah was targeted by racist bullies, and sometimes felt disconnected from her white adoptive family.
In 1995, she wrote about how many women were missing from her neighborhood, Vancouver's rough Downtown Eastside.
"Am I next? Is he watching me now?" she wrote in a journal her sister published years later, after Sarah, too, disappeared. "Stalking me like a predator and its prey. Waiting, waiting for some perfect spot, time or my stupid mistake."
We know now that the Downtown Eastside was where serial killer Robert Pickton found his victims, picking up sex workers, killing them, and disposing of their bodies on his pig farm.
Investigators charged him with 26 murders, but only six counts went to trial. Found guilty in 2007, Pickton was jailed for life, the toughest sentence possible in Canada, which has no death penalty.
Vancouver police now admit they made mistakes probing the murders, and a public inquiry report released last month, entitled "Forsaken", highlighted a "systemic bias" against the victims, paired with public indifference.
Canada is still wrestling with what the Pickton case means. It prompted questions about the fate of scores of other missing and murdered women, and in the years since Pickton's 2002 arrest, police have set up new task forces to investigate some of the disappearances.
One of these is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Project E-Pana, which was asked to determine whether one or more serial killers has stalked young women along British Columbia's highways.
The impact has been felt as far away as Oregon, where new DNA evidence from one E-Pana case brought the first break in the 1995 cold-case murder of two teenage girls.
But closer to home, activists and victims' families fear that too little has changed, and more killers may be at large.
When Sarah de Vries went missing in 1998, her disappearance was one of many unsolved cases in the Downtown Eastside.
Vancouver police believed there had been an uptick in disappearances, but were unsure why. Some officers recognized a serial killer at work, but others clung to the idea that the women had just moved, and did not want to be found.
A Vancouver police review from 2010 said the case was only clear in hindsight. But it also found that even in 1998 and 1999, police had "compelling information" pointing to Pickton: tales of bloody clothes, a woman's body suspended in his barn.
Pickton agreed to a search in 2000, but it was never done, and he was caught in 2002 only because of a separate weapons probe. DNA linked him to 33 of the Downtown Eastside's more than 60 missing women, including Sarah de Vries.
Activists had raised the alarm about missing women as early as 1991. Susan Davis, an activist and 26-year veteran of Vancouver's sex trade, said the community was already on edge because of the Green River Killer in nearby Washington State, later identified as Gary Ridgway.
Ridgway murdered at least 49 women, many of them sex workers, in the 1980s and 1990s, and was not caught until 2001.
There may be other killers too. Police believe Alaska's confessed serial murderer, Israel Keyes, who committed suicide in December, spent time in Canada. Canadian police are working with U.S. investigators, but have not yet linked him to any cases.
"At first, they get away with just sexually assaulting you, or beating you, or robbing you," said Davis, who believes police indifference set the stage for Pickton's murders. "When they see that they can get away with that, things escalate."
Vancouver police, who say they have made changes since 2002, have apologized: "We could have, and we should have, caught Pickton sooner," Chief Constable Jim Chu said in December.
Pickton's farm was in an area that is under the jurisdiction of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who have said they will study the inquiry report. They declined to comment on the case.
In northern British Columbia, so many women, many of them aboriginal, have gone missing along Highway 16 that their families call it the "Highway of Tears". Those cases, along with disappearances near two other highways in the province, are Project E-Pana's focus. The 18 cases it is dealing with date from 1969 to 2006.
E-Pana solved its first case in the fall, and that led to a breakthrough outside Canada, in the pretty seaside town of Newport, Oregon, where Jennifer Esson and Kara Leas, both 16, were killed in 1995.
The girls had been visiting Esson's boyfriend, and left late in the evening, likely planning to hitchhike home. Almost three weeks later, workers found their bodies north of town.
The case went cold for 17 years, until E-Pana sent Interpol a new DNA profile from a man who they believe killed 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen in central British Columbia in 1974.
That DNA, Interpol found, belonged to Bobby Jack Fowler, a convicted kidnapper who died of lung cancer in an Oregon prison in 2006. Fowler's last arrest was in Newport, and when the Canadian police visited, local authorities took notice.
In September, Oregon authorities named Fowler a suspect in the Leas and Esson murders, and a person of interest in a similar 1992 case. Newport investigator Ron Benson said Fowler may have had other victims in both Canada and the United States.
"It does keep me up nights, wondering why I wasn't there to protect her," said Jennifer Esson's father, Floyd. But Fowler's "good, slow death" has given him some comfort.
Without E-Pana, Newport authorities might never have identified a suspect.
But while E-Pana, which police say they named for an Inuit goddess who cares for the dead, identified Fowler, it has not cracked any of the cases along Highway 16. Gladys Radek, who grew up in northern British Columbia, said she has known about the disappearances since she was a girl. In 2005, her niece, 22-year-old Tamara Chipman, went missing.
"The RCMP have always been in denial that there is a Highway of Tears," she said.
The cases were highlighted in a 2010 report from the Native Women's Association of Canada's Sisters In Spirit, a project that cataloged nearly 600 cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls across Canada.
Among Canada's major provinces, British Columbia had the lowest clearance rate - 49 percent of the murders were unsolved, compared with 39 percent nationally - perhaps because of the Highway of Tears, and Downtown Eastside cases that remain open.
Aboriginal women are disproportionately likely to be murdered in Canada, and they were overrepresented among Pickton's suspected victims.
Wally Oppal, whose inquiry produced the "Forsaken" report, recommended that British Columbia's government replace the patchwork of police jurisdictions in the Vancouver area with a regional force. He said geographic isolation, poor transit and poverty in the north of the province have put women and girls at particular risk.
The matter is urgent, he wrote: "Serial predators are committing violence today; that is an inescapable fact."
Kate Rexe, who directed Sisters In Spirit from 2008 to 2011, said the Pickton trial was a double-edged sword, attracting attention, but creating a faulty perception that all the missing women were in the sex trade.
Rexe can list other Canadian cities where unsolved cases may indicate a serial killer, but she has seen some loss of momentum. "It seemed as though there was a lot of interest for a short period of time in educating police officers, that has since been put on hold, or just cut altogether."
Oppal's mandate centered on Vancouver, not the bigger issue of missing women. But his sweeping 1,400-page account of police failure and public indifference referred repeatedly to a broader crisis, and he exhorted his readers to learn from what happened in Vancouver. He also quoted from Sarah de Vries' journals.
"Will they remember me when I am gone?" she asked. "Or would their lives just carry on?"

Petticoats on the Prairie this weekend
Petticoats on the Prairie is again coming to West Texas. "Petticoats on the Prairie is a vintage article and antique showcase that West Texas people can come to for the weekend and not have to travel across the state," explained free-lance designer Cecilia Scott, who with several other women who call themselves the Rodeo Queens, are behind the event. Scott, a Colorado City native who came back to West Texas to live in the family home made from an old church, believes wide open rural spaces foster a greater percentage of creativity than cities.Janie Conley and Cindy Grant of Big Spring met Cecilia at Round Top, the premier vintage and antique show near Brenham. They began to talk about having such an opportunity to showcase the creative talents of women in this area. "There's a need for this sort of thing here; we want to nurture the artisans here in West Texas," affirmed Scott.The three women agreed that the location for the event needed to be as attractive and creative as the wares to be offered and when they visited Black Locust Farm near Ira, they knew they had found it. Paul and Fran Farmer, who built a large building as a workshop for making display cases, have turned their place into a venue for weddings, dances and other celebrations. Driving across the prairie and coming upon the cedar-fenced grove of black locust trees, pines and buildings gives one the idea of a mirage.The building had space for 30 vendors, with more situated outside, but the event has grown to have many more vendors, and has now moved to the Mitchell County Fairgrounds in the show barn in Colorado City, located at 1539 West Interstate 20 Business in Colorado City. The vendors cover a wide range from antique items to vintage wares of all types, as well as new items.No such event would be complete without food vendors; these will include barbecue, gourmet hot dogs, fajitas and hamburgers and desserts such as fudge, kettle corn, frozen cherry limeades and pound cakes.Petticoats on the Prairie begins at noon on Friday, Oct. 21, goes until 6 p.m., and continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. Cost is $5 at the gate with children under 12 free."We are inspired by the creativity and talent here in our area, and we want to inspire others to share their talent, insists Scott.This year, the Rodeo Queens will be presenting "Brunch at the Barn," an early-bird shopping event from 10 a.m. until noon on Friday, Oct. 21. Tickets will be limited, so check often to reserve yours when they go up for grabs. For more information, call 325-728-8870 or 325-242-0206 or e-mail email@example.com free POTP Shoppers Tote will be available for the first 50 shoppers through the gate each day. Western Suites, 2233 Vine Street in Colorado City is offering a special rate for POTP attendees and vendors. For more information, call 325-728-4100. You will need to ask for the POTP rate when making your reservation.

Reminds me of the cracker ignoramus who said he didn't see why the whole world did not speak English; after all, "it was good enough for the Lord," by which he meant Jesus and Jehovah.
Well, as a Jewish child, I thought Hebrew was God's native tongue. Which was why we were required to pray in Hebrew. At this point, I just want to be able to communicate freely with all my human cousins, and I don't want religion or nationality to get in the way.

War is Everywhere: Why?
Member since February 27, 2012
- Posts
Everyday, when watching the news or reading the newspaper, there is always some war-related news: terrorist attacks, invasions of countries, deaths, collapses of countries, etc.There is enough problems with the environment. Why make war when you can focus on much better things? Wars are created by greedy people. I do not like war, there is no actual winner except for politicians and arms dealers since they benefit most from the war.
I feel blessed to live in a country where there is no civil war or invasions from other countries. For the most part, I feel safe and secure but who knows what the future holds for Asians countries. War might come to us next. That fear is probably exaggerated and hopefully peace will prevail.


text: Hi there! When switching our servers to ISPConfig we had the problem that we already had a roundcube installations up & running and we wanted to keep the roundcube-plugin sieverules because it allows the user to edit his filter-settings from within the webmailer in a quite comfortable manner. With the help of the sieverules-plugin-developer (roundcube-team) we wrote a plugin which utilizes the api-functions of ispconfig to establish the communication between roundcube and ISPConfig. Because it was quite a hard struggle we don't want that anybody else has to fight this again. Basically from the repo-version of the sieverules-plugin for roundcube 0.6beta onwards a hook was implemented by John_Doe which is utilized by the plugin (we managed to get it also run with rouncube 0.5 stable). ISP-sieverules contacts to ispconfig via the api-interfaces and makes a mail_user update. The sieve-script is written into the custom-rules field in the ispconfig mail_user table and then implemented into the sieve-file. Requirements: Dovecot (with sieve plugin) Roundcube 0.6beta (also possible with Roundcube 0.5 stable) Sieverules-Plugin (current repo-version contains the hook) Installation-Instruction: - Download the plugin unzip and put in your roundcube-plugin directory (add the plugin in your main-config file) - Create a remote user for ISPConfig in the Adminstration-Panel - Recommended: Create a database-user for the ispdatabase which may only use the SELECT statement - configure the plugin via the config.inc.php (contained in the zip-file) Have fun!

September 13, 2012 -
(Bloomberg) -- A panel of U.S. regulators created to monitor financial stability faces challenges in achieving its mission of identifying risks and should improve its transparency, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.
The Dodd-Frank law created the Financial Stability Oversight Council to highlight systemic risk to the economy and enhance cooperation among its 10 voting regulatory members. The law also created the Office of Financial Research to aid the panel, known as FSOC, with data to carry out its risk monitoring.
"Key FSOC missions -- to identify risks and respond to emerging threats to financial stability -- are inherently challenging, in part, because risks to financial stability do not develop in precisely the same way in successive crises," the GAO wrote in a report posted on the House Financial Services Committee website.
The government audit group said cooperation among FSOC's members, who include Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and are led by Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, remains challenging with each representing independent agencies. The accountability office said the research arm, known as OFR, faces the challenge of building an organization while meeting short-term goals.
Transparency, Accountability
The GAO recommended that FSOC and OFR strengthen transparency and accountability by collecting and sharing financial risk indicators, keeping detailed records of closed-door sessions, and developing forward-looking plans to help "prioritize the threats."
Mary Miller, Treasury undersecretary for domestic finance, responded to the GAO in a letter dated Sept. 5 that the department broadly supports the recommendations. FSOC has already "moved quickly to fulfill its statutory mission" and promote greater collaboration among its members," she wrote.
Spencer Bachus, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, in a letter dated today, asked Geithner to ensure that the FSOC and the research office "will operate transparently and efficiently, without imposing an undue burden on the nation's financial system."
Bachus, an Alabama Republican, in the letter co-signed by Texas Republican Randy Neugebauer, chairman of the committee's oversight and investigations subcommittee, agreed with the GAO's assertion that the FSOC lacks a strategic plan and needs to draw "clear lines of responsibility." The letter was obtained by Bloomberg News.

Martha and Mark are a married couple in their late 60s. They are concerned because Mark's pension will dry up when he passes away, which would force Martha to drastically reduce her standard of living. Although their assets probably will be sufficient to support Martha for the rest of her life, they do not want to tap them unless absolutely necessary. Right now, the pension is substantial enough to supply most of their needs, leaving their other assets to grow and eventually pass to their beloved children.
Is there a way to insure against the risk of Mark's early death and the loss of his pension income without breaking the bank on a high-cost permanent life insurance policy on Mark's life?
How about a reversionary annuity?
Life insurance is often the go-to product in situations similar to Martha and Mark's, but in many cases, insurance is out of the question. A term policy will not work because it will lapse, and a permanent policy may not be feasible because the premiums are normally high. And life insurance may be out of the question because of the insured's health or age.
A reversionary annuity may be just what a couple like Martha and Mark need to make up the income shortfall that will come after Mark's death. Reversionary annuities can be useful in any situation where one person will require regular income after the death of another, for instance:
- Where the payout on a spouse's annuity or pension pays out only over his lifetime.
- Where the spouse who is likely to live longer will be unable to live comfortably without the other spouse's Social Security or other payments that cease at the time of death.
- Where a disabled child will depend on a parent for lifetime income.
- Where a low-cost alternative to a buy-sell agreement for business owners is needed.
What exactly is a reversionary annuity?
A reversionary annuity is essentially a life insurance policy coupled with an immediate annuity. When the insured dies, the death benefit is used to fund an immediate annuity on the beneficiary's life. Unlike a life insurance policy, the product offers only a predetermined life income option for the beneficiary; there is no lump-sum payout at the death of the insured.
Because of its low cost when compared to permanent insurance, reversionary insurance may also make sense for individuals with medical problems or a shorter life expectancy that makes life insurance unaffordable. For older couples, a reversionary annuity may be affordable even if a life insurance policy is not, because the beneficiary's relatively short life expectancy decreases the cost of the policy due to the likelihood that it will not pay out over an extended period.
Riders, Benefits and Options
Reversionary annuities are generally inflexible; if the insured's or beneficiary's needs change, they are out of luck. In their most basic form, reversionary annuities simply pay a fixed monthly sum to the beneficiary after the insured's death. If the beneficiary dies before the insured, payments into the product cease and the insured is left without value or benefits from the policy.
However, there are a number of riders and options that can vary that standard. For instance, instead of a "fixed monthly sum," an inflation-protection option can be purchased for an additional premium. One such option, the "3% increasing option" increases the monthly payout by 3% on every policy anniversary date. Another option, the "5% increasing option" increases the monthly payout by 5% on each anniversary of the first monthly benefit payment to the beneficiary.
There are also options for ensuring that payments will continue at the insured's death even if the beneficiary pre-deceases the insured. A premium return option will return premium payments to the insured if the beneficiary predeceases the insured. Simultaneous death benefit and accelerated first-year benefit riders are also available.
Taxation of Distributions from a Reversionary Annuity
Although one source claims that payments received from a reversionary annuity "may receive favorable tax treatment as survivor income," it is safer to assume that payouts will be taxed as any other annuity payment. Part of the payout will be untaxed as a return of principal; the remainder of each payment will be taxed.
The question remains: What is the principal amount? Is it the amount paid into the product during its "life insurance phase?" Or do we use the value of the annuity that will provide an income stream for the remainder of the
surviving spouse's lifetime?
An in-depth discussion of the taxation of reversionary annuities is beyond the scope of this article, but the answer probably is the latter; the return of principal component of each payout is based on the value of the annuity at the time of the first spouse's death.
Comparison With Other Products
Reversionary annuities generally can be purchased for about half the price of a permanent life insurance product. But that discount comes with a price: unlike a permanent life policy, the product dies with the beneficiary, leaving no value.
How do reversionary annuities compare with other longevity-oriented products? For instance, longevity insurance is a deferred annuity with a very late start date. A longevity annuity doesn't make payments to the annuitant until he or she reaches a particular age—typically 85.
The contract then pays a fixed amount on a monthly basis for the remaining life of the annuitant. Both products offer competitive rates because they pay out in only a limited set of circumstances—allowing carriers to offer the products at competitive rates. Both products serve one very particular purpose, ensuring lifetime income sufficiency.
Why can carriers price reversionary annuities lower than "equivalent" life insurance policies? There are a couple of reasons. Unlike a life insurance policy, which requires the carrier to make a large cash outlay at the time of the insured's death, the payout on a reversionary annuity is made over time, in monthly installments.
Also, as mentioned earlier, a reversionary annuity will never pay out if the beneficiary predeceases the insured. And because the beneficiary cannot be changed, the company has a very good idea of how often the distribution phase of the product will be activated and how much the product can expect to pay out for a particular insured/beneficiary combination.
The core difference between the products is the event that they're protecting against. In the case of the reversionary annuity, the product is designed to ensure that the beneficiary does not suffer income loss when the insured dies.
In contrast, longevity annuities are suited for cases where your client is concerned about outliving his or her income because of an unexpectedly long lifespan. Despite their differences, both products insure against longevity risk. Compared to permanent life insurance, reversionary annuities are significantly less expensive and don't require the beneficiary to manage the death benefit payout to create lifetime income sufficiency.
Each product's suitability will depend on the type of longevity risk your client faces, their ability to qualify for traditional permanent life insurance, and their capacity to fund the products.

OCLC Research Program Officer Jackie Dooley elected Vice President/President-Elect of Society of American Archivists
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 2 May 2011—Jackie Dooley, OCLC Research Program Officer, has been elected Vice President/President-Elect of the Society of American Archivists (SAA). Her one-year term as Vice President will begin in August, and she will serve as SAA's 68th President in 2012–2013.
Ms. Dooley has been a member of SAA for 25 years and was named a Fellow in 2000. She notes the challenges that lay ahead for SAA in implementing a vision that reflects core values of archivists.
"The daily newspapers regularly inform us of political and societal issues on which SAA should (and does) speak truth to power," says Dooley. "Governments and other institutions experience records-based crises that SAA can use to both support the archivists who are directly affected and offer wise counsel to organizational leaders who perpetrate poor practice."
She further notes that graduate students in archival programs have expressed strong opinions about how the professional society can help them learn and thrive, and SAA's leaders must both listen carefully and act productively.
Ms. Dooley has served SAA in a variety of leadership positions, including on the SAA Council from 2000 to 2003. She has also chaired the Publications Board, Program Committee and Nominating Committee. Other professional affiliations include the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, the Society of California Archivists, advisory councils of the Online Archive of California, and as an instructor at the University of Virginia's Rare Book School. Dooley holds a BA from the University of California, Irvine, and an MLS from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Ms. Dooley is eager to join current leaders in continuing to carry out the association's strategic priorities of technology, diversity, and public awareness, as well as its core values. "SAA is a fantastic society populated with dedicated archivists who are supported by a superlative Executive Office staff," she said. "It'll be both an honor and a pleasure to once again participate in its governance."

No Info Can Be Found About Mysterious Report Claiming Australia As A 'Nation Of Pirates'
from the into-the-ether dept
What's really troubling here is that apparently many in the Australian government are relying on the information in this "report" to make decisions on changes in copyright law. Based on a phantom report put together in complete secrecy by a company that can barely be found? Even the reporter (a freelancer) who first put up the original story at The Age, Neil McMahon, never even saw the report, but apparently reported on it based on what someone -- he won't admit who -- told him about it. The whole thing seems amazingly sketchy. In an era when so many such reports have been debunked, it's scary that the government seems willing to rely on one that clearly hasn't been even remotely vetted by those who understand these things.

2010 River of Skulls
Gold Medal and Best of Show - Riverside International Wine Competition (2009 vintage)
In 1805, Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga was ordered by the Spanish Governor of California to explore the Great Central Valley and to (re)name everything he found.
One day Gabe came across a river the banks of which were littered with skulls. No one knows how the skulls came to be there. Perhaps an ancient battle. Or perhaps a really great party gone horribly wrong.
Whatever. Old Gabe, being a true master of the obvious, named this river "El Rio De Las Calaveras" or in english, "The River of Skulls."
This is a full bodied wine with plenty of big tannins, but those tannins are smooth as velvet!
There is a burst of oak and dark berry on the nose. Flavors of berry, chocolate-covered cherry, and spice coat the tongue and make mine very happy! The finish lingers on the back of the throat, with blackberry and spiciness leaving me longing for another taste. Delicious!!
I decided to open it and enjoy it last night, and wait to review til today. However, I did post the immediate word that came to my mind last night, and it was WOW!
The color in the glass is a deep plum skin to me.
Sniffy Sniff Time - A big fruity nose, with some black and blue berry notes, a hint of cocoa, and a bit of gamey'ness there.
Tasty Taste Time - As I said last night, but with an extra one...WOW WOW! I wish I was eating a juicy steak about now to go with this. So, getting some of the blueberry fruit, with savory notes, some anise, touch of bacon, and oak. This is a well integrated wine, with silky texture and a smooth finish. Medium tannins. I think this should cellar well for a while (I have one more bottle - YES!).
Rubber Chicken Thoughts, by Sir Cluckles - Bawk, bawk, baGAWK! Bawk bawk bawkin bawk, BaGawk. Buk buk buk, Bawk, buk buk buk. BaGAWK-GAWK!
Bas vers le haut, Mateys...Arrrr!

text: In these experimental trials on a captive porpoise at the Fjord & Baelt Center in Denmark, a trainer on one end of a pool directs the porpoise to find a fish. A D-tag on the porpoise records the echolocation sounds the porpoise uses to locate the fish. The voice yelling "Sending!" is the porpoise's cue to go. Next, an assistant at the other end of the pool slaps the water with a stick and then throws in a fish. The porpoise's task is to swim across the pool, find and eat the fish, and return to the trainer. In some of the trials, the porpoises wear eyecups, which act as a blindfold and prevent them from using vision to find the fish, so they rely solely on echolation.

Education should be for all!
- 22 Articles
LaLaLove Music Video
As the plane takes off for one of its routine flights, so do these children. These children are living their normal lives day in day out. These children (whatever their background) make up the percentage of children in the world who are able to go to school, and even Secondary/High school! Imagine if the many millions upon million girls and boys were able to go to school. Imagine the benefits, future income and all round professional development would amount to things far greater than little or no education.
Although providing education cannot occur overnight I wish it could the reality is as we all know is that it can't. The hard work and dedication from large scale awareness groups to the individuals who by word of mouth explain the effects of the lack of education (especially for girls!) can slowly change the way education is viewed in theory.
When I first watched this video, I cried….
I cried because I think about all the children who are not able to receive an education. It did make me happy though because I saw the hard work from all involved to ensure that these children were able to receive further education. What made this feeling worse was knowing that I am surrounded by most of my peers and they cannot wait to leave education. This video opened my eyes to a world of the hardworking individuals who are aiming to better future generations.
All in all, the video did give me the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences with education. I feel extremely lucky that I am given the chance to be educated, but it pains me also knowing that there are millions and millions of children (girls especially!) that would give anything to receive an education.
But let me raise one question, why boys and not boys and girls? (To be educated). I feel there are still many objections when it comes to providing girls with an education.
Leaders of the world still hold an extreme emphasis on helping the world's populations in many ways… So I ask, if educating is one way of 'self-help' then why is it the leaders who offer many ways to help, don't seem to when it comes to education. The people that do help, seem not that in any way politically involved! But yet when it comes to donations, they are reduced by the powers at be!
If as a human, we are entitled to our rights, is education not one of them? Yes, I am aware that social, environmental, economic and political factors affect the way education can be delivered, but if only all could be educated…

Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, Sept. 20 Simon Wiesenthal, who survived a dozen concentration camps, then spent his life bringing Nazi war criminals to justice and searing the word Holocaust into the conscience of the world, died on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2005, at his home in Vienna, Austria. He was 96. Wiesenthal's biographers credited him with ferreting out 1,100 of Adolf Hitler's major and minor killers and other Nazi war criminals since World War II. Included was Adolf Eichmann -- the Nazi bureaucrat who implemented Hitler's "Final Solution," the state-sponsored extermination of millions of Jews -- and lesser-known officials like Franz Stangl, commandant of the prison camps at Treblinka and Sobibor, in German-occupied Poland, who had a role in at least 900,000 deaths. Here, Wiesenthal is shown in 1973 displaying photos of Nazi criminal Walter Rauff.

Six things that have consumers buzzing in the world of beer, wine and spirits this week:
1. Goose Island Founder and CEO Steps Down: The man who built Chicago's Goose Island Brewing into a craft beer heavyweight is stepping down. John Hall, who started the company in 1987, announced he will be stepping down effective Jan. 30, 2013. He will be replaced by Anhesuer-Busch veteran Andy Goeler. Anheuser-Busch Inbev acquired Goose Island in 2011 at a price near $40 million.
