BANGOR — Oct. 12 marks the 74th anniversary of the Brady Gang shootings in downtown Bangor. On Columbus Day 1937, as America's most wanted fugitives returned to Dakin Sporting Goods to buy a machine gun, the trio drove into an FBI trap.
Senior member James Dalhover was captured inside the store, while leader Al Brady and driver Clarence Shaffer Jr. were shot dead outside on Central Street, triggering twilight for the gangster era.
Inspired by my late mother, who as a 23-year-old student saw the bandits soon after they died, I've spent years probing their Indiana roots, three murders and 150 holdups.
With the help of fellow actors and City Councilor Gerry Palmer, I portrayed Brady in a 2007 re-enactment witnessed by 4,000 spectators and former special agent Walter R. Walsh, who was wounded in the original 45-second bloodbath.
Now 104, Walsh is the FBI's oldest living former agent and the oldest Olympian, having competed with the U.S. shooting squad in the 1948 Summer Games in London. Mysteries remain in my narrative. Someday I hope to solve them all.
1. Who's the girl whose picture was in Al Brady's pocket? According to the FBI, among the items recovered from the John Dillinger wanna-be's dead body was a photo of an unidentified girl. A "girl" in 1930s lingo ran the gamut from a child to a mature woman. Perhaps it showed Alicia Frawley, Brady's innocent 20-year-old lover, whom he met while living in Bridgeport, Conn.
2. What happened to the Brady Gang's Buick? Skowhegan insurance agent G. Allan Wentworth acquired the stolen 1937 Roadmaster and drove it until the novelty wore off in late 1938. After that the trail grows cold. Sketchy reports claim it ended up in junkyards. Collectors value vintage Buick parts, so, like a transplanted heart, perhaps the 8-cylinder engine ticks on in another vehicle.
3. Does anyone know Brady's last words? "I'll come. Don't shoot!" was his reported farewell after being ordered from his car at gunpoint. But one FBI agent recalled back-seat cursing as the defiant thug tried to shoot his way out. Blasphemy seems fitting for a man about to collapse under the weight of two dozen bullets.
4. Who tipped off newspapers? FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover claimed an absence of media leaks, but one or more people apparently alerted the Bangor Daily News and Bangor Daily Commercial about an impending story. Commercial reporter Bud Leavitt plus News Managing Editor John O'Connell and photographer Dan Maher said they spent the night in chilly cars awaiting a pre-Facebook scoop. Dakin's owner Shep Hurd and Police Chief Tom Crowley may have whispered the news, minus sensitive details.
5. Why was Brady's brain removed? Nurses and visiting G-men viewed the gangster's brain in a glass jar at Eastern Maine General Hospital, now EMMC, where after autopsy it may have been studied for genetic differences. Perhaps "justifiable homicide," the official cause of death, allowed for such measures. And since no family members claimed Brady's body before interment at Mount Hope Cemetery, a final viewing was unnecessary. So what did it matter if it lacked a vital organ?

Williams Exiting The Pantry
Senior vice president of operations announces departure from regional retailer
CARY, N.C. -- The Pantry Inc. said late yesterday that Brad Williams, senior vice president of operations, has announced his decision to leave the company. The Pantry has begun the process of identifying a new senior vice president of operations. On an interim basis, operations will report to president and CEO Terry Marks, the company said.
"During his 13-year tenure, Mr. Williams has made many important contributions to the company, including his role in driving a fast, friendly and clean experience for our guests," The Pantry said in a statement. "The company appreciates [image-nocss] Mr. Williams' dedication and hard work over the years and wishes him the best in his new endeavors."
In December 2008, The Pantry named Williams senior vice president of field operations. He served as vice president of field operations since March 2008, and was previously a division vice president with responsibility for approximately 550 convenience stores. Prior to joining The Pantry in 1998, Williams held operational and marketing positions with E-Z Serve Convenience Stores Inc. and ConocoPhillips.
Headquartered in Cary, N.C., The Pantry is the leading independently operated convenience store chain in the southeastern United States and one of the largest independently operated c-store chains in the country. As of May 9, 2011, it operated 1,659 stores in 13 states under select banners, including Kangaroo Express, its primary operating banner. The Pantry's stores offer a broad selection of merchandise, as well as gasoline and other ancillary services.

When observing a thunderstorm, or sitting on the beach looking at the ocean, one sense the enormous power of nature. In contrast, man's accomplishments seem quite small, trivial in fact. We look up at the stars and feel so insignificant, so powerless, so small. This actually is a good thing. It puts us in our place and reminds us that we are just a microscopic dot in this universe. Maybe we aren't as important as we think we are.

If you're a solo computer consultant like me, you may often find yourself face-to-face with clients in their personal office or home. It's best not to take for granted that these folks are inviting you into their private spaces. It helps to be prepared with certain things, both tangible and intangible, that will help make the experience go more smoothly for both you and your customer.
I put together a video in which I walk through the five things that I make sure to do every time I visit someone for an on-site job. It's easy to forget one or more of these things, but each one is a valuable piece to making your computer business a great one.

Typical Discussion with a Christian
Eternal Torment and a Just God
The thesis of said blog post basically being that the christian god punishes every sin in the same way, even though (apparently) not all sins are equal. I ask in the video/blog if this is fair, and whether or not we are more just than god, since "in the criminal justice system, differing crimes are given differing sentences. But not in hell. An atheist gets the same treatment as a serial rapist or a murderer. Hell, under this system, I would get the same punishment as Hitler. Is this fair? Is this behaviour indicitave of an omnibenevolent being?'

(A Critique Of) Arguments for God and the Universe
1) Teleological Argument (Argument from Design)
-Basically, there exists order and complexity within nature, and order and complexity, ie, design, is contingent upon a mind. This mind is god.
2) Cosmological Argument
-Basically, finite entities must have a cause. You cannot have an infinite causal loop/chain, in which something created something created something ad infinitum. There must be a first cause. This first cause, by definition, is not contingent and is not an effect.
3) Ontological Argument
-Basically, and laughably, it asserts, a priori, that if you can conceive of the greatest possible entity, then said entity must exist, since existence is superior to nonexistence.

Over the past several weeks, we have talked about and promoted the new movie Conviction. We are very excited about this movie, because it is a powerful story of wrongful conviction, DNA testing, the exoneration of an innocent man and the devastating impact that it has on people's lives, and because the story is being told on the "big screen".
The movie Conviction opens in most locations this weekend. We want to encourage everyone to see the movie and to remember that it is based on a true story. In an interview with Larry King on CNN, Betty Anne Waters said that everything in the movie truly happened – that there really wasn't any "artistic license" taken in the making of the movie.
For folks in Tallahassee, please join us on Thursday, November 4th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a reception at the Hotel Duval before seeing the movie at 7:30 p.m. at the Miracle 5. The reception will be attended by two exonerees, Alan Crotzer and Orlando Boquete. These two men spent years locked away from their families for crimes they didn't commit and were later exonerated through DNA testing. Tickets for the reception and movie are $25 per person and can be purchased on-line.
Please join us in the continuing discussion of wrongful conviction.

Despite a sour economy, restaurants continue to blossom in San Francisco. These three newcomers rank among my current picks.
CHEZ PAPA (1401 18th St.; 415-824-8210):
You know you're in the right place when you look up from your plate to see Alice Waters, the mother of California cuisine, dining at the next table. One of many new French bistros to surface in the city, this model is distinguished with nearly 20 small plates of mostly Provencal tastes. They include a luscious anchovy-onion tart, beef tartare prepared tableside, and a lovely salad of potato, artichokes, shaved Parmesan and bacon. Attentive service, a thoughtful wine list and first-rate braised lamb also mean fierce competition for the 38 seats in this Potrero Hill oasis. Entrees $16-$24.
JULIA (2101 Sutter St.; 415-441-2101):
The title refers to chef and co-owner Julia McClaskey, the spirit behind the open kitchen of this eclectic dining room, where murals of stormy seas share space with iron fencing and weathered siding. Her equally offbeat menu looks to the world for inspiration and focuses on bold flavors: chile verde, roast cod sauced with lemon and capers, and lusty beef short ribs are among the winning plates. Solo? Check out the friendly, U-shaped bar. Entrees $17-$25.
LIMON (3316 17th St.; 415-252-0918):
Yes, it's small. And cramped during prime time, too. But this family-run Peruvian storefront in the city's Mission District makes up for that with walls painted in cheerful fruit bowl colors and cooking that proves both soulful and extremely satisfying. Empanadas plump with beef, olives and raisins, and ceviche fresh with halibut, yams and corn are the kinds of experiences you might write home about if you were in South America but are lucky to find closer to home. Bring on the sangria! Entrees $11.25-$19.95

Spring is just around the corner. Before you head out to inspect the perimeter of your property, it's a good idea to keep in mind what to do if you encounter signs of wildlife along the way.
Because we're a safety first kind of association, we've put together a few safety tips and information about best practices to follow in case you encounter a cougar while you're walking or working in the woods.
We know a lot of you have close encounter cougar stories of your own. We love a good story so we're awarding a prize to the best cougar story out there. Tell us your story in the comment section below and you could win a case of canned salmon (the runner up wins a pitch fork).
While attacks by cougars are rare, they do happen and can be fatal (especially if young children are involved). Generally, cougars in conflict are younger cougars that haven't learned how to hunt efficiently so they're looking for easy targets, or else they're older cougars that can't hunt efficiently in the wilds anymore.
If you encounter a cougar, the first thing to remember is, keep calm.
- Make yourself look as large as possible and back away slowly.
- Keep the cougar in view. Make sure to allow a clear exit for the cougar.
- Pick up any children or small pets immediately.
- Make yourself look as large as possible and keep the cougar in front of you at all times.
- Never run or turn your back on a cougar—any sudden movements could provoke an attack.
If you notice that a cougar is watching you, maintain eye contact with the cougar and speak to it in a loud firm voice. Reinforce the fact that you are a human and not an easy target.
If a cougar shows aggression, or begins following you, respond aggressively. Cougars see you as a meal and you're trying to convince them that you're not prey.
Keep eye contact, yell and make loud noises, and show your teeth. Quickly pick up nearby sticks, rocks, or whatever you have at hand to use as a weapon, if necessary (crouch down as little as possible when picking things up off the ground).
If a cougar attacks, fight back! Convince the cougar you are a threat. Use anything you have as a weapon— rocks, sticks, bear spray or personal belongings—and focus your attack on the cougar's face and eyes.
To report an incident, call the Conservation Officer Service reporting line (1-877-952-7277).
Tips for Working in Cougar Habitat
Anyone working in the outdoors should be aware of the wildlife around them.
Cougars are found throughout British Columbia in both the backcountry and frontcountry. If you're working in the woods you can assume you're within potential cougar habitat, especially in the southern third of the province.
A few tips to keep safe working in cougar habit include:
- Before heading outdoors, familiarize yourself with cougar habits and biology.
- Work in pairs or groups.
- Be alert for tracks, scat, scratched trees, and other signs of cougars (such as animal carcasses buried under vegetation).
- To avoid surprise encounters, make noise to alert wildlife of your presence.
- If you come across a food cache (buried prey), leave the area immediately.
- If you happen to encounter cougar kittens, leave the area immediately. Do not approach or handle them.
A few safety equipment and procedure suggestions:
- Carry a cell phone, satellite phone or GPS unit with you.
- Have a first aid kit and bear spray.
- Know the location and address to nearest hospitals complete with drive times.
- Make sure you have check-in contact information and a schedule.
- List of other important contacts for the field crew.
- Have an inspection schedule for safety equipment to make sure the bear spray is within expiry date and the first aid kit is complete.
Thanks to Wildsafe BC — British Columbia Conservation Foundation — British Columbia Conservation Foundation for the information. You can visit their website for more detailed information and resources on cougar safety.

Gigabyte is working on a few new X58 boards and the upcoming models will be having slightly less features than the currently announced ones, which should appeal to those that are looking at building a more affordable Core i7/X58 system.
This, of course, doesn't mean that Gigabyte will be cutting quality, as these boards will feature the newly launched 2 oz. copper layers, just as the new P45 and yet to launch X58 boards. The new boards are likely to have less memory slots than the boards we've seen thus far and they'll most likely carry the DS3 model name extension.
We'll bring you more details when we have them, but with the official platform launch still some time away, we can see Gigabyte focusing on the launch first and then announcing the new models at a later stage. However, with a top to bottom line-up, Gigabyte should be able to cover the needs of most users and it's the first company we know that will have a full range of X58 boards.
The only worry is that the potential buyers of the Core i7/X58 platform might not be interested in lower-end motherboards, but we'll have to wait and see how well received the platform will be before we can say either or.

Redfin today announced that they are taking yet another step toward becoming that one thing that they so desperately are trying to position themselves as NOT being… a traditional brokerage.
They began as an online-only brokerage, touting themselves as the first online brokerage and making a lot of noise about their unique value proposition. Buyers found the home they wanted to buy, made the offer on redfin's website, and got a cut of the commission check.
Redfin began offering property tours for a fee.
They began offering more tours.
They're offering tours through homes the way traditional agents do, with no set amount of homes or fees (other than they'll only take you twice per week) and you get less of a cut of the commission.
They already ditched their industry-best map and search capability and replaced it with Microsoft's api, replaced their logo with a worse one, and have given the metaphorical finger to traditional agents every chance they get, shouting how "different" they are, being an online broker.
Making bad decisions, playing catch-up to others in the industry, spin-selling… sounds like they are more traditional than they think.
They will probably offer traditional agent services in a menu-driven model, where buyers can choose which level of service they want (full service, some service, no service). Just like everyone else, Redfin is adjusting to the industry, not the other way around. They are learning something I learned quite a while ago (I'm a faster learner), having a kick-ass website only gets you the introduction- you still gotta earn the business. And when people invest $700,000 on anything, they want an expert who knows their stuff and who can give the very best advice and share their knowledge, not just someone to fax your documents and schedule your inspection for you.
There is a difference between information and knowledge. Redfin is learning this, albeit very slowly…

Where is it ?
Hi friends
I have just upgraded Vista to Seven Premium.
I encouters two problems which I do not succeed in solving and I count on your help.
1 Some softs throw IE or Firefox instead of showing their own window:
* For instance Antivir, if I click "By the way " in the menu "Help" then IE or Firefox starts and shows a page with the elements which were before displayed in the window ANTIVIR.
* For instance Incredimail, to read or write a message, the navigator is launched instead of showing contents in the window INCREDIMAIL And there it is bluntly prejudicial!
2 very often the desk of windows is "reorganized", icons are lined up, casi by military means, to the left of the screen. For instance after a modif of option in Internet Explorer or to define a program by default.
Where can I proceed ?
Thank you for your precious help
Thank you for your help.
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2010
For the icons, right-click on the desktop and under view>Align icons to grid / Auto arrange icons - untick them:
As for the other issues, some windows will now open in your default browser (firefox), or ignore your default browser and use IE anyway to display the information.
I'm sorry, I had trouble deciphering what you needed exactly, so I'm not sure if that answer is sufficient.
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2010
Come on
Hi smarteyeball :wink:
Thank you for your fast answer. Well, I believe there is a command, somewhere, I've lost, wich can resolve my pb...
Concerning Icons the way you describe is known since XP. But Seven is often arranging my desktop as it wants ! Hapyly I've got "iconoid" wich resolve quickly that point.
About the launch of IE or Firefox, IMO, there is a case, somewhere, which indicate to the system to send priority to the browser uppon the soft (Antivir or Incredimail)..
best regard,
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2010
If you uncheck Auto-arrange Icons, it may take a few more restarts before Icons remember their placement. This is normal.
Check your Event Viewer's Admin View to see if it is generating repeat errors, which can be resolved by googling the number and some of the text.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2010
ie a game that runs at 1024x768, 12800x720,1600x1200 etc?
Or do you sometimes switch to an external monitor with a lower/higher resolution than 1920x1200?
Some apps, or switching back and forth from an external monitor that adjusts the resolution will change the icon layout upon exiting or reverting.
As for the other issue, I'm sorry but I can't currently think of a work around.

A number of automakers opted out of the Paris Motor Show. The French made up for them all, and honorably.
Renault's two-seat electric GT concept car is pure French fantasy.
We swear that's not a 2009 Q5.
As Alanis Morissette might say, isn't that ironic?
It's pretty fuel-efficient too!
Ford's tiny EcoBoost turbo three-cylinder could find its way into the Blue Oval's teensiest hot hatchback.
The supercar company sees a future in smaller engines, hybrids, and perhaps electric cars, but you'll have to drive them yourself.
Apparently, Nissan is pursuing variable compression because electric drivetrains are just too expensive.
Get one while you can.
Nissan's luxury brand says the new engine is production ready but hasn't said which car will get it first.
The Korean automaker's first N performance car will draw its inspiration from this.
Ram says the 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi's 575 hp is enough to hit 100 mph off-road.
Now, focus, because this is going to get confusing.
Expect to see this car raced all over the world within the next few years.
Definitely don't call it the LaFerrari Spider.
A turbo five-cylinder gives this tiny sports sedan some serious all-wheel drive muscle.
And what better way to start off then with a 402 horsepower SUV?
Our first official look at Land Rover's new seven-seat SUV.
VW is calling this Paris Motor Show debut "as revolutionary as the Beetle was seven decades ago."
It won't be officially revealed until tomorrow, but here's a sneak peak.
Ferrari's shooting brake is going turbocharged and rear-drive.
It uses the same sort of batteries as the i3.
With diesel a thing of the past, Volkswagen is ramping up its EV efforts.
AMG's newest droptop gets some hardware from its track-ready GT R.
The newest version of the redesigned Panamera is a 462-horsepower hybrid with a 31-mile all-electric range.
And it looks lovely, but will it come to the US?
Set for a debut later this year, Mercedes's new EV is starting to take shape.
A new rumor says we won't have to wait long to see the Nissan Navara-based concept.

President Barack Obama today approved the state of Texas' request to declare a "major disaster" in the aftermath of the deadly blast in West, clearing the way for federal dollars and staff assistance to the hard-hit town.
The president's announcement amounted to a reversal of an earlier rejection of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's request for a White House "major disaster" declaration for West.
Perry one-upped the administration by releasing his reaction to the announcement before the White House even issued the order.
Although details were not available this morning, Perry had appealed FEMA's June denial of additional funding and requested more than $35 million in assistance.
"The approval of the state's appeal for a major disaster declaration is great and welcome news for the people of West. I appreciate everyone who joined me in standing with the people whose lives have been forever impacted to move this appeal forward, especially our congressional delegation, "Gov. Perry said in a statement.
"This, along with the disaster relief funding provided by the Texas Legislature, will help this community rebuild their infrastructure, school district and public works as quickly as possible," Perry added.
According to the White House release, "federal funding is available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the explosion in McLennan County.
West Mayor Tommy Muska got word Friday morning that his town would be receiving federal aid and said the news was a huge weight off his shoulders.
State Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Grandbury, took to social media to express his gratitude, tweeting "Thanks to ALL who joined us in this effort!"
It was initially unclear how much aid West would be eligible for, but Rep. Bill Flores, R-Byan, whose district includes West, previously said the decision could mean a difference of more than $20 million.
The aid will likely go toward damaged roads, pipes and sewage systems in West, as well as toward rebuilding the schools that were destroyed in the blast.

If you live in Australia and you want cheaper high-speed broadband ADSL2+ Internet access, you're in luck. Exetel are running a special promotion where you get 2 months free if you sign up to one of their Premium ADSL2+ plans on a 12 month contract before the end of August 2011.
If you haven't heard of Exetel, it's because they don't advertise; their business model is based on word-of-mouth. They buy wholesale telecommunication services from major network providers like Optus, and then resell them direct to customers at consistently the lowest rates on the market. If you aren't tech-savvy and need lots of hand-holding, they probably aren't for you; but if you know how to follow instructions, can configure settings yourself, and want a service that just works at the cheapest rates, they're ideal.
I've been with Exetel for a couple of years now after a friend put me onto them. They reward their customers with bonuses and discounts when you refer other people, which means you can get an even cheaper deal if you tell your friends. That's one reason I'm telling you. In this case, when you sign up for ADSL2+ not only do you get 2 months free access, but I get a $100 bonus. Everyone wins.
Note that in order to qualify for the 2 months free access, you must sign up with my Recommender Number: 0294729253. So check that Exetel services are available to you, and then click here to sign up for ADSL2+. You'll have cheaper ADSL2+ access faster than you can say "Who the heck are Exetel?"
PS: If you happen to read this after the end of August 2011, it's still worth switching to Exetel. They consistently have the cheapest rates, and they often extend their promotions.

Learn All About New Instagram Business Tool
The two great wonders caused by the advent of Internet were search engine optimization and social media marketing. What initially emerged as just the means to improvise results for the users? Have you taken several businesses to the next level? Many of the social media tool makers have now realized the true power of their tools. No wonder Instagram has come up with some truly impressive business tools that simplify online business for the diverse e-retailers.
Instagrammers used the tool simply to share impressive images that created memories for life. It was a personal tool till now. But now the makers of Instagram wish to take this tool to the next level. The new features on Instagram App will help many business owners to improve their traffic and gain better profits.
What is different now?
This is the first question that will come to the minds of the several SEO and SMO experts who have always been using Instagram to enhance business. You could create posts and understand the popularity of your post from the likes and shares. It was a great way to enhance your online traffic but you could never understand the deeper analytics of your post. You could never understand the engagement and reach of your post but this is now possible.
What are the new business tools on Instagram?
Unlike a common Instagram user, a business owner may have several expectations from the Instagram App that help to enhance the business and bring better profits to the users. Many of the modern businesses that run online rely greatly on engagement, traffic, and user friendliness. Most of these businesses greatly rely on online reputation. Keeping all these factors in mind, the new Instagram App has some truly impressive business related features as listed below:
Instagram Business Profiles
Yes, now business owners can create a business profile on Instagram. This is a free feature that Instagram users can avail of. A business owner with a business profile on Facebook can create a business profile on Instagram too. The business owner can decide how he wants the customers to get in touch with him. The options for text, call or message will be offered when they press the contact button.
Instagram Insights
The latest Instagram App provides business related insights to its users. It helps the users know which posts are gaining more popularity or pulling in more traffic. These insights will surely help online business owners to target the right customers and create the right posts.The beauty of this app is that it will tell the business owners many details of the customers like the city they belong to. These trivial details count significantly when it comes to reaching out to the right customer.
Instagram Promote
This is sure the best aspect of the Instagram App. Now you can convert your best performing posts into advertisements in just a few clicks. You can encourage your audience to take action. Are you confused who is the ideal audience for your post? Well, the app will even help you choose the right audience.
How can Business Owners make the best of these tools?
The new features have made the Instagram App a very valuable business tool. Business owners who rely on this app can improve their service and target the right audience. Many times the online businesses fail because they are unable to identify what fails in their marketing strategy. The Instagram tools will help to review each post and identify the best posts.
The business profile is another attractive feature that will help business owners to create contacts online. They can collaborate with others in the same field. This is a great way to understand the competition and build a reputation in the industry.
What the makers say about their unique innovations?
There was a clear reason why Instagram came up with some truly innovative business features. As per the Instagram Global Head of Business and Brand Development,James Quarles, half of the people on Instagram follow a business.He further added that 60% of the users learn about services and products on Instagram.(techcrunch.com)
When asked about the tools, Quarles stated that they built tools for small businesses and yet bigger businesses will know how to make the best of it when they are on the go. Quarles believes that the Instagram tools are going to help businesses of all sizes.When asked why the small businesses would want to use Instagram for their business promotion, Quarles gave a very satisfying reply. He stated that Instagram's ability to put something visually striking in front of the probable customer could be one reason why small businesses aspire to grow using Instagram.
The innovation was a response to the feedback provided by different business owners who were interviewed by Instagram. Many businesses are eagerly waiting to try new promotions using this new version of the app.

ROME0-DXFormer staff writer -
Category: Cases
: Nikao
Price: $95+-
At first glance you will notice that this case isn't 100% overclocker friendly. Although this case is already painted and has places to install (2) fans and would make a good LAN case. You can order this case from Nikao.net and you can choose from the colors they offer. The Romeo features (7) PCI slots, (3) 5.25", (2) 3.5" External, and (2) * 3.5" Internal. You can order your case with a 250Watt PSU and it can be upgraded to a 300 or 350Watts for you power hungry overclockers.
The Package
Below is a picture of what you get. It's pretty self-explanatory. This case has as I said above (3) 5.25" bays, (2) External Floppy 3.5", and (2) Internal HD 3.5". There are two places where you can place fans in this case. They are pre-drilled for the screws of the fans, and the front fan placement can move lots of air because of its design.
The Insides
Not the most overclockable case on the market but, it does have some potential. Once I took the case panel off ( No tools required ) I found that there was no sharp edges inside. This is a major plus because if your like me, always in the computer, you don't want to get cut up everytime you repencil your cpu. The slide-out motherboard tray is something that this case has and also something I can't live without. As I just said, if your inside your box alot your going to need fast and easy access to your peripherals. With the slideout motherboard tray you can work on your peripherals much easier and faster. One thing about the slideout motherboard tray I did not like was that you have to take the case panel off to unscrew the motherboard tray (2 screws). A better design would consist of having the screws on the outside of the case in the back. This isn't a major problem because taking the case panel off is very easy because it doesn't require tools. In the back you will see one of the two 80mm fan placements. It looks much like any other fan placment on other cases. I plan on using my dremel to cut out one large whole instead of all of the small ones. Then put a chrome fan grill on it so the cat doesn't put it's paw in the fan :/
This mid-tower isn't for everyone. It would make a good LAN case because of it's size and weight. A window kit would look pretty good on this case and a Neon light kit.
- Good Quality and well built
- No rough edges inside
- No tools require case panel
- Slideout motherboard tray
- (2) Pre-drilled fan placements
- Can buy in different colors
- Thick metal makes it harder to dremel (Case mod)
- Motherboard tray screws are inside instead of being on the outside (Have to take off case panel to unscrew tray)

Sergio Romo And Brandon Morrow Could Be Dealt By Dodgers
7/17:Per Ken Rosenthal, the Dodgers are open to trading either (or both) Sergio Romo and Brandon Morrow. Despite Romo's more recognizable name, it's Morrow that's having the better year. In 16 games, Morrow has struck out 20 batters over 15 innings. He's even hitting 99 mph on his fastball. The idea behind trading these pitchers is to free up a spot on the roster that can be used by a lefty. The Dodgers are lining their ducks in a row for a formidable playoff run and this would be a good first step.

Bottle bombs set off in Largo movie theater
- Written by Jim Davis
- Published in Crime
- Read 2670 times
- font size decrease font size increase font size
For the third time this month, an over-pressurized explosive detonated inside a movie theater in the D.C. region.
Early Saturday morning just after 1:30 a.m., a bomb-like device in a bottle exploded inside AMC Magic Johnson Capital Theater in the 800 block of Shoppers Road in Largo, Md.
Eighty people were leaving the movie theater when the explosive blew up, said Paul Gomez, assistant fire chief of the Prince George's County Fire Department, but no one was injured.
Officials are viewing video security footage from the movie theater in hopes of finding the person or people responsible.
Another bottle bomb detonated in AMC Tyson's Corner Theater Saturday night at 2 a.m.
Two teenagers were treated at the scene after they were splashed with the liquid inside the bottles. They were not injured.
That incident was the second to occur in Tyson's Corner this month. On May 18, police said two bottle bombs, which contained acidic liquid and were powerful enough to blow a person's hand off, detonated inside the theater.
Another bottle bomb incident was reported at the AFC Hoffman Center in Alexandria, Va., on April 5.
Investigators are working with the Fairfax County Fire Marshal's Office to determine if the device that detonated at the Magic Johnson Capital Theater was the same type used in the explosions at Tyson's Corner earlier this month.
Officials believe more than one person was involved, according to the Fairfax County Fire Marshal's Office.
Someone who makes improvised explosive devices could face a maximum of 25 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine, said Gina Ford, spokesperson for the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office.

Gotta say, simple games that test my mind are ALWAYS welcome… which is why I figure Squareshape should be a breath of fresh air. Having Noodlecake Studios as the developer certainly doesn't hurt its reputation either.
The game come in in 2D format. In each level, there is a container of mostly irregular design. This container generally has two exits, and a dot/ball somewhere in the container. There is a also a small square which is in essence the playing piece. The overall objective of each puzzle is nice the playing piece from the entrance to the exit, while collecting the dot on the way.
Between the playing square, the dot and the exit is a series of objects that can help or hinder the goal. There are stationary squares that are the same size as the playing square.
The real challenge is harnessing the movement of the playing piece. Swiping it makes it move indefinitely till it is stopped by a container wall or one of the squares in question. In this sense, the squares could be help or hindrances. As the game progresses, there are new elements added, like freeze squares which stop the playing square in place when traveled over and Xs, which destroy the squares and forces the level to be restarted.
The indefinite movement of the playing square is what makes the game such a challenge. As noted, it only stops when stopped by a stationary square, a container wall or a freeze square. Thus, positioning to get the dot, and then move on out of the container becomes quite tricky. The X spots are positioned such that it is possible to get trapped with a bad move.
And, oh yeah… the puzzles should be completed with a minimum of moves.
This game is so simply laid out that the potential for fun could be easily overlooked at first glance. That will be a mistake; there are few time wasters better.

The provincial government has launched a website for Albertans to drill home the importance of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The province has launched a website for Albertans to drill home to Canadians the importance of the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
It's the latest in a series of steps Alberta is taking in a pipeline battle with British Columbia.
The website, Keep Canada Working, was unveiled Tuesday.
It features links to ways Canadians can take action — contact their MP or MLA, for example, or sign a petition demanding B.C. Premier John Horgan honour the rules of Confederation and "stop standing in the way of working Canadians."
People can also upload a video explaining why the Trans Mountain pipeline matters to their family.
There's even a hashtag to use on social media — #KeepCanadaWorking.
The website and tools cost approximately $10,000 to develop and maintain. The budget for the campaign, including promotion of the tools and website, along with videos launched earlier this month, is $280,000.
The fight against B.C. isn't something one government can do alone, Premier Rachel Notley said in a statement.
"We need all of us working together to make sure the B.C. government fully understands why this pipeline matters, why good jobs matter and why the rules of our country matter," she said.
Notley has given B.C. and Ottawa a few days to figure out the spat, or face more economic consequences from Alberta.
The battle kicked off late last month when Horgan said his province would restrict increases in bitumen shipments from Alberta until more spill response studies are conducted.
The problem is, provinces don't have the authority to regulate what goes through pipelines — that's in the federal government's court.
Notley blasted Horgan's move as unconstitutional, and in retaliation last week launched a B.C. wine boycott.

Clay is hardened traditionally by firing it in a kiln, a special oven that heats clay from all sides at high temperatures simultaneously. However, there are also special formula clays available that self-harden without heat or that can be heated in an oven.Continue Reading
Determine whether you are working with traditional clay that needs to be fired in a kiln, self-hardening air-dried clay, or clay that is designed to be re-sculpted, such as Crayola.
If you are using traditional clay, it needs to be fired inside of a preformed mold. If you are using self-hardening clay, it should be sculpted prior to drying to achieve the desired form. Reusable clay such as Crayola is not designed to harden and should not be heated.
Once a mold has been filled with traditional clay, it can be fired in a kiln until it dries out and hardens. Allow self-hardening clay to dry out according to the manufacturer instructions.
Allow the clay to cool and return to a safe temperature before handling the mold to avoid cracking or breaking the dried clay.

The at-bit sub can dramatically improve well production, especially in thin formations, by ensuring that the well bore is drilled in the optimum position of the formation. When using the at-bit sub, steering of the drill string is dramatically improved due to its close proximity to the drill bit and its ability to provide up/down gamma data without interrupting the drilling process. It's not enough to just know whether or not you are in the formation. With the at-bit sub we can tell if the formation is better above or below the bit because gamma counts are correlated with magnetic roll on the fly. Because of that correlation, we can compare the formation above and below the bit and constantly correct direction to achieve a well bore that is better positioned within the formation.
The at-bit sub is designed to be used with our Electromagnetic (EM) MWD tool. The at-bit sub is installed between the drill bit and mud motor, and measures inclination, gamma, RPM and roll. The sub works together with our EM MWD to provide near real-time data that originates only inches behind the drill bit. During operation, the At-Bit sub sensors and transmitter are powered by lithium batteries. Data from the sub is gathered and wirelessly transmitted around the mud motor to the MWD, where it is processed, logged and combined with other MWD data and then ultimately relayed to the surface via an EM signal. Our surface computers gather that data from the MWD through surface mounted antennas, and process the data to client specifications.
- Available in 5" and 6.5" sizes
- Provides accurate inclination and rotation speeds at the bit, up to 300RPM
- Azimuthal gamma ray provides clear "up" and "down" readings
- Seamless, wireless link to our MWD systems
- Geosteering in tight formations and long laterals
- Collision avoidance situations

Austal Tasmania launches ferry for Macau
The first of two 47.5 meter passenger catamaran ferries for New World First Ferry (Macau) has been launched at Austal Tasmania, marking a milestone for the yard, which was purchased by Austal in February 2007
With new orders now being finalized and a labor force that has grown from 40 to more than 120 during the past 12 months, the inaugural launch signals the emergence of Austal Tasmania as a significant member of Austal's global production capacity.
Located in Margate, south of Tasmanian capital Hobart, the modern shipbuilding facility has a history of quality aluminum ship construction.
Austal Executive Manager Stephen Lupi said the Tasmanian shipyard was an important addition to Austal's worldwide production facilities.
"With a focus on small to medium size construction, our Tasmanian yard further diversifies Austal's current capabilities, allowing the fast delivery of smaller vessel orders built to the highest quality standards at a competitive cost," he said.
The two New World First Ferries are scheduled to enter service later in the year to meet the growing tourism demand generated from the dramatic increase in Macau's tourist arrivals since the development of its gaming and mega-resort industry.
With five Austal 47.5 meter high speed passenger catamarans already in service in the New World First Ferry fleet, the latest ferries operate at service speeds in excess of 42 knots while carrying 418 passengers.
Both will be powered by four MTU 16V 4000 M70, each producing 2320kW and driving Rolls Royce / Kamewa waterjets.
The two vessels are among 16 Austal passenger ferries currently on order for the China / Hong Kong region, seven of which have already been delivered. On completion of its latest order, Austal will have delivered 52 vessels to the region.
The second vessel is scheduled for launch at the end of May 2008.

Jewish World Review Dec. 10, 2010 3 Teves, 5771
Elizabeth Edwards Made a Bad Trade
By Roger Simon
But it was shaping up to be a crowded field: Joe Lieberman, John Kerry. Dick Gephardt,Tom Daschle, Chris Dodd, Howard Dean, Al Gore, Russ Feingold and Al Sharpton already had put out presidential feelers.
Could John Edwards stand up to that field? At the moment, Edwards was mainly worried about standing up to the brutally biting wind on Elm Street in Manchester. He jumped over a giant pool of slush and plunged into the Merrimack Restaurant, where he shook the hand of the first person he saw.
"Hah, har you?" Edwards asked Courtney Henrich in his soft and pleasant Southern accent.
Since the restaurant was nearly empty as a result of the storm, Edwards decided it was a good time to head for the men's room. As he was about to disappear inside, a look of horror passed over the C-SPAN producer's face. She ran after him, lunged underneath his suit jacket for the microphone and said, "Um, do you want me to turn you off?"

We've had a taste of warmer weather lately, so if you're like me, you have spring on your mind.
The knowledge that spring is coming, puts the pep back into my step. Recently, an unseasonably warm weekend brought me to Ledges State Park.
I love going up to Ledges to hike, but I usually come with my boys, or some friends. This time, I went alone. This gave me an opportunity to reflect on why I feel so much hope in spring.
I will freely admit it. I am not a winter person. I have always hated the cold. I certainly do appreciate the beauty of the landscape after a fresh snow, but it sure does get depressing day after day, seeing the barren trees and lack of sunshine.
The seasons are very symbolic for me. Winter, bringing death and darkness, also represents the hard "seasons" in life. But winter has taught me many things.
One of the hardest lessons to grasp is that no matter how bitter, long, and hard the winters are, spring always comes.
Even though the scenery at Ledges was pretty bleak when I went, it was still impressive. What really struck me, was that even though the trees were bare around me, they were not dead. It's true, some things do perish in winter, but many things that seem dead during the winter months are merely dormant. Resting. Waiting for spring to bring them back to life.
I couldn't help but to also be reminded of the Easter story. Spring always makes me think of God's promises to me and the rest of His children.
The truth that death is not the end of the story, that there is renewal and hope, is something I cling to. It's something that brings me immense comfort, peace, and even joy during the long winter seasons in life.
I urge you to go outside and look around.
Some of the trees are already starting to bud, ready to burst with new life.
Notice them.
Watch them, little by little, go from being seemingly lifeless to heavy with fresh, new leaves and beautiful blossoms. Let them remind you, too, that whatever your winter is—whether it's a literal winter, or a figurative one—spring is coming.
Some winters are harder than others, but don't you notice that those especially hard winters make us appreciate the spring, when it does get here, all the more?

Some low-risk investments include certificates of deposit, treasury inflation protected securities, or TIPS, and money market funds, according to Forbes.com. These investments generate lower returns because the investor is not taking many risks, but capital preservation is more a priority when choosing these investments.Continue Reading
With a certificate of deposit, an investor deposits funds in a financial institution for a predetermined amount of time in return for a fixed interest rate until the certificate matures, explains Forbes.com. There is little risk in this investment because as long as it is done with an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the deposit is under $250,000, the investor is guaranteed to get the principal back.
TIPS bonds from the U.S. Treasury are available with two types of growth options, Forbes.com states. The first option is through a fixed interest rate that remains the same throughout the length of the bond, and the second option is through a built-in inflation protection guaranteed by the government. TIPS can be purchased individually or through a funds that own a set of TIPS.
A money market fund is a type of mutual fund with the main objective of not losing any of the initial investment, states Forbes.com. Money market funds pay small amounts of interest to attract investors, but their main lure is their relative risk-free growth potential.Learn more about Investing

By Paul Sandle
CAMBRIDGE, England (Reuters) - The British government believes the BBC needs to come under greater scrutiny after generous severance payments made to departing executives raised "serious questions" about the management of the publicly funded broadcaster.
Former BBC Director General Mark Thompson, who quit the BBC last year to become chief executive of the New York Times Company, and six other senior executives were grilled by British lawmakers on Monday over payments made beyond contractual obligations during the last three years of Thompson's 2004-2012 watch.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller was due to tell television executives attending the Royal Television Society Conference on Wednesday that the questioning, which saw BBC executives past and present arguing over who sanctioned the payments, was a "grim day" for the BBC's senior management and for British households who fund the broadcaster through license fees.
The BBC said it would launch a review of its internal governance systems, structures and cultures and examine the relationship between the executive management of the corporation and the BBC Trust, which regulates the broadcaster.
"The corporate dramas of the BBC should never eclipse its actual drama," Miller would tell the conference in Cambridge, according to an advance copy of her speech.
"Ultimately, license fee payers rely not only upon the right structures and governance being in place but also upon the BBC's executive management using their good judgment. And I think serious questions were raised about that judgment by the scale of the severance payments made."
She said under the leadership of Tony Hall, who assumed the role of director general in April this year, significant changes were being made at the broadcaster.
The government had already opened the BBC's accounts to scrutiny by the National Audit Office (NAO) to ensure license fee payers could see where their money was spent.
But she said she wanted the auditors to get quicker access to BBC accounts.
"The NAO's work has been pivotal in bringing issues to light so I want us to strengthen its role further," she said. "I want a system where the NAO can look at any area of concern without hindrance or delay."

Amy Schumer Rocks Gorgeous Shimmery Eye At Golden Globes
It was a big night for Amy Schumer, so it's no surprise that she looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, wearing her hair down and flowy — but we could not look away from that makeup!
It's been a huge year for Amy Schumer, and the 34-year-old has never looked more stellar. She stepped onto the carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 10, with her hair mostly down, a few pieces pulled back, and a dark eye — those lashes were incredible.
We know that Amy's makeup artist, Andrea Tiller used all Sephora products on the actress — so here's how to get it too. To get her lashes, try Sephora's Full Action Extreme Effect Mascara. For the eyes, including that very bright corner that really makes her eyes pop, you can try the Colorful 5 Eyeshadow Palette — available in a ton of different colors!
Her skin looked super bronzed, and you can get that by using Sephora's Bronzing Poweder 4 Fiji, as shown above! Last but not least, you can't forget the lip gloss — we know Amy didn't. Try Sephora's Ultra Shine Lip Gloss to make your lips pop!
For her hair, Kim Gueldner worked with Matrix StyleLink products to create a structured curls look that was pinned away from the face. Once Amy's hair was blown out, Kim set her hair in velcro rollers with a hint of hairspray, removing the rollers after they cooled and adding volume and texture to her hair with Matrix StyleLink Height Riser at the roots of the front section and Matrix StyleLink Texture Builder throughout. To complete the look, she gently brushed through the curls with her fingers and pulled the pieces on the sides back, pinning them off of Amy's face.
So how did Amy get ready? Well, a healthy hike! Her boyfriend, Ben Hanisch took to Instagram in the morning on Golden Globes day to share a pic with his lady while outside in LA. "So excited for this talented woman tonight," he wrote.
Well, we are, too! Amy is up for Best Performance By An Actress In A Musical Or Comedy for her role in Trainwreck and the movie is also up for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy! Stream Trainwreck and more Amy Schumer movies here!
Did you love Amy's look, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

TRENTON – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner James Simpson today announced the start of a major rehabilitation project involving three linear miles of eastbound and westbound travel lanes of Interstate 78 in Essex and Union counties.
The $72 million project will complete a five-phase program that began in 2005 to completely rehabilitate and improve I-78 from milepost 50.4 in Springfield to 58.5 in Newark, one of the busiest stretches of highway in New Jersey with an average of 145,000 vehicles traveling it daily.
"This project will benefit tens of thousands of New Jersey residents every day and exemplifies NJDOT's commitment to safety and state-of-good-repair investments," Simpson said. "Under Governor Christie's leadership, NJDOT will continue to prioritize projects to ensure that we make the best use of resources as we renew and rebuild our network of roads and bridges which serve as the circulatory system of our economy."
Last month NJDOT's contractor, a joint-venture of Ferreira Construction and Crisdel Group, began initial construction mobilization to remove rumble strips, set up signs and place temporary pavement along the outside shoulders.
NJDOT is scheduled to begin reconstructing the left-most Express lane in both directions this weekend. During this phase of construction the Express lanes will be narrowed to one lane and shifted on to the right shoulder. In the Local lanes, the right shoulder will be converted to a travel lane, providing an additional Local lane through the construction zone. Overnight lane closures will be necessary this weekend to implement the new construction zones.
The highway will be reconstructed in stages to minimize impacts to motorists. Subsequent stages will reconstruct other portions of the highway, working from the center of the highway to the outside lanes.
- A total of four of the five I-78 travel lanes will remain open in each direction during peak period hours throughout construction.
- Single and double-lane closures will be allowed during overnight and off-peak hours.
- During certain stages of construction, the contractor will utilize full overnight closures of the Express lanes.
- Construction operations will be limited during the summer months.
- Access to and from interchanges will be maintained to the Local lanes, however, there will be lane shifts during ramp reconstruction work.
NJDOT will break up and remove the existing concrete and construct a new asphalt roadway along both directions of I-78 from west of Ramsey Avenue (milepost 53.8) in Union Township to the Route 21 interchange (milepost 56.9) in Newark. The new pavement is designed to last up to 20 years.
Deck patching, joint-sealing and guide rail repair will take place at sixteen bridges. New Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) fiber-optic cables will be installed within the project limits to connect with ITS facilities previously installed along neighboring sections of I-78.
NJDOT is making a significant effort to minimize the traffic impacts associated with the upcoming construction through public outreach and safety initiatives. NJDOT is coordinating the project with local police and emergency response units. Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) that were constructed in previous phases of the I-78 program will be utilized, along with additional portable DMS on Route 78 as well as the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, to provide real-time work zone traffic information to motorists.
Additional safety measures will be implemented, including the creation of emergency pull off areas and emergency response crews and tow trucks will be posted at each end of the project during critical construction phases. This project is scheduled to be completed in early 2014.
In late 2007, NJDOT completed the $42 million first phase of the I-78 rehabilitation program. That contract fully reconstructed 2.3 miles of I-78 in both directions from Route 24 to the Garden State Parkway in Union Township.
Subsequent contracts in the overall program included:
- The $150 million Garden State Parkway/I-78 Interchange 142 improvement project which, in addition to building the two missing connections at the interchange, reconstructed the I-78 mainline highway between mileposts 52.8 and 53.8 in Union, Hillside and Irvington.
- A $5 million project which created the state's first permanent real-time travel alert system on I-78 between Springfield Township, Union County and Newark City in 2009.
- A $14 million project, completed late last year, which reconstructed I-78 between mileposts 56.9 and 58.4 in Newark City.
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check www.511nj.org for real-time travel information.

Drake has apologized for a pair of tweets he posted and soon deleted on Thursday criticizing Rolling Stone's decision to give its latest cover to the late Philip Seymour Hoffman instead of the Toronto rapper.
"I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip [sic] Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication," Drake wrote on his blog, October's Very Own. "My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazines [sic] behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment."
Those words are very different from the one's Drake tweeted: "They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue," Drake wrote on Twitter. "I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip [sic] Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil."
Drake also attacked Rolling Stone for the interview he conducted with the magazine, which included comments he made about Kanye West's "Yeezus." According to Drake, his words were spoken outside the "interview portion" of the conversation. The apology posted on October's Very Own, however, makes no mention of the "Yeezus" quotes.
"I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way," Drake wrote in the final portion of his blog post. "I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow."

KK:  Well, I'm not sure that it's a misunderstanding, per se.  I think that Alexander Valley has actually been well received for what it has traditionally produced: really nice $10-$20 bottles of wine that are a good value.  But those wines have certain characteristics that are different from those you can get from some of the more artisanal producers I mentioned, who are not in the deep soils of the valley floor, who farm their vineyards and make their wines to very high standards, who are extremely selective about which particular lots go into the bottle â characteristics that are just not well known because there are so few of us and our production has been so small thus far.  How could they know?  You almost have to get a James Laube or Robert Parker to come here and do a tasting of these six or seven wineries and then write about it in order for people to start understanding what can be done with real commitment at these better sites.
NM: Â Are you working towards that? Â {smiling}
KK: Â I'm working towards that. Â {smiling} Â In fact, Karin [Miller of Garden Creek Vineyards] and I are working on it. Â But it's challenging â very challenging â because we producers have business agendas that are very different from one another. Â For example, the business plan for some of the wineries in the valley may be to drive consumers to their winery, whereas for others, like mine, who don't have a tasting room, priorities are different. Â So, as far as formalizing it all and getting it funded, it's very challenging; although people are really interested in it, it's hard to get commitments in the midst of these divergent business interests.
NM: Â Bringing it full circle and focusing on your own commitment, what have you learned that has profoundly influenced your appreciation of wine and your understanding of its industry? Â And what have you learned that has influenced you as a human being?
KK: Â Hmmm, that's such an interesting question; I've never been asked that before. Â Well, I have to say that I love what I do! Â I dream about what I do when I'm not here. Â When I can't sleep at night, I find myself walking up and down the vine rows, and before long I'm asleep; it's like counting sheep! Â I guess what I've learned is that I've become much more spiritual. Â I've had to overcome a lot of obstacles! Â For example, last year, in a two-hour period we lost 75% of our crop due to frost. Â We walked out in the vineyard and there was nothing there, the shoots were all burned off like somebody took a blowtorch to them. Â I just felt like crying! Â But it is agriculture; there's a lot of adversity to overcome in the vineyards. Â They always look great from a distance, from the road. Â Whereas when I look at it, I know what I'm looking at, I know about diseases like phylloxera, eutypa, and all the other things that can come to get you. Â So, it is about overcoming adversity. Â But when you walk into the vineyard on a day like today, and everything is healthy and prospering, you can't help but have a spiritual experience! Â And I'm incredibly grateful! Â It makes me so very grateful for all the things that I have. Â I just don't forget it when I walk out into the vineyard. Â Plus, we try to give back as a winery, in terms of being charitable, because we recognize how fortunate we are. Â Without getting grossly philosophical, I think that's what I've learned more than anything else: to overcome adversity, stick with it, and then be really thankful for what you've got!
NM: Â Wow, that's pretty powerful! Â And it's also very elegant, because there's a simplicity to that, which can be applied to anything that we do in our lives. Â That's very inspiring!
KK:  Well, I didn't mean for it to be inspiring; it is what it is.  It's been wonderful for me, it's been really wonderful.  But it has also been such a tremendous challenge; there have been times I really thought I was going to go broke.  And we're not at all out of the woods yet.  This is actually one of the most challenging times we've ever had.
NM: Â You're quite a risk taker, then. Â Plain and simple. Â There is very little in your approach that's safe.
KK: Â I'm an entrepreneur! Â I'm passionate about what I do. Â I hate to use the word 'passion,' because it no longer means anything these days, but I really do this because I love doing it!
Love, indeed. Â And that, along with inspiration, determination, and innovation, have provided Kenneth Kahn with the much-needed fuel for his entrepreneurial spirit, allowing him not only to realize his dream but quite possibly to be instrumental in the recognition of Alexander Valley as a source of premium handcrafted wines. Â Little did he know, upon starting his venture over twenty years ago, that breaking ground to plant a new vineyard would eventually lead him to breaking ground in furthering a winegrowing region. Â To learn more about his Blue Rock portfolio of wines and how to get them, visit Blue Rock Vineyard online. Â Photo Credits: Blue Rock Vineyard and website. Â

- Your walk starts in Afton Down car park by the main road. This is usually great for blues.
- Cross the road from the car park and turn right until you see a diagonal rising chalky path on the right hand side, signed bridleway F34. Follow this path through a golf course to reach the crossing track – the Tennyson Trail.
- Then you head east along the track which runs along the back of the downs, eventually descending steeply. Dark-green fritillary abounds amongst the cut gorse areas in July.
- 20yds after a "No entry for vehicles" sign and just after a track joining from right, turn sharp left and round up into Brook Down quarry to explore the quarry slopes and gorse glades.
- Head back and cross the main track and bear left just before the "No entry for vehicles" sign. From here, follow the grassy track upwards. Look out for Adonis blues. At the crest of the rise by cattle pens, bear to the right of two gateposts marking the track leading down the hill.
- Follow one of the lower cattle tracks parallel to the main track. This is open downland with no well defined footpaths so make sure that you are sure footed. Aim just to the right of a line of gorse bushes at the base of the hill in the distance, or the main road beyond. Follow this low level and fairly flat tracks as far as Compton Combe, always keeping on the downs side of the fence line. Clouded yellows are often seen here and on the upper slopes of the camp-site field on the other side of the fence.
- The Glanville fritillary season is June to early August, so take a detour to Compton Chine via the road verge or the coast path from the car park. Go down the wooden steps. Enjoy! It's a great bathing beach.
