Always up to date: Aluline, a manufacturer of aluminum components and solutions from high-wage country Denmark, operates on this principle to excel on the global market. The family-run company also invests in new measuring technology on a regular basis. The most recent purchase was comprised of two ZEISS ACCURA machines with a new scanning probe. The new coordinate measuring machines have enabled Aluline to drastically reduce its measuring times.
A total of 11-12 million items comprised of around 300 different parts for various applications leave Aluline every year for destinations around the globe. The company's customers hail from the medical technology, telecommunications, consumer electronics, defense, automotive and aerospace industries. And everyone expects maximum precision – even on parts with complex geometries. Until now, operators had to interrupt the machine several times to manually reposition the workpiece.
The XTR contact scanning probe simplifies and accelerates the quality inspection of geometrically complex parts. Because a rotary axis is integrated into the probe, the stylus system can turn as far as possible in 15 degree increments and thus always be positioned at the right angle to the part. They also chose the ZEISS ACCURA bridge-type measuring machine because it provides the desired precision as well as the possibility of scanning workpieces continuously instead of capturing single points. Furthermore, employees were already familiar with ZEISS CALYPSO measuring software.
The new contact probe allows Aluline to now measure geometrically challenging parts without a sensor change-out and without interrupting the measuring run. Employees needed 35 minutes to measure the 128 defined features of a locking cylinder for doors. The XTR probe, as well as a fixture specially developed by ZEISS for this workpiece, have reduced the measuring time to 11 minutes. Because the part no longer has to be manually turned, employees can use the time between the start of the program and reviewing the measurement report for other tasks. Another benefit for Aluline is that the workpieces can now be scanned continuously. As a result, measuring technicians and designers receive a lot more information about the geometry of the parts than they did with single-point measurements. According to Managing Director René Schow Jørgensen, the two coordinate measuring machines have also impressed customers: "There are simply no questions asked when we show new customers our measuring lab. They know that we measure accurately and manufacture precisely."
Family-run Aluline A/S has been developing and manufacturing aluminum parts since 1965. At its site in Tølløse about 60 kilometers from Copenhagen, the Danish company employees 110 people who cover the entire manufacturing process from design to finished part.

Black Forest
This 500 year-old castle manor riding center, one of the best in Germany, is an ideal equestrian getaway with its beautiful location in a lovely rural setting close to the Black Forest range. The equestrian center is easily accessible from both Stuttgart and Frankfurt.
Dressage lessons on quality German Warmblood horses are available up to a high intermediate level, but the jumping and cross-country instructions are offered all the way up to Grand Prix level - mostly on Irish Hunters! Fritz Pape, a multi-purpose champion and trainer, guarantees sound lessons for riders of all riding levels. Whether you're taking your first riding lessons ever, enjoying one of the beautiful country trail rides, learning to jump cross-country or polishing up your riding skills in one of the many seminars - there's always the right horse for you!
During the year we offer our Regular Riding Weeks that include private and group lessons, Hacking Weeks, Hunt and Cross-Country Weeks and as well as one- and two-week riding clinics for all levels of rider.
You will be accommodated in comfortable double rooms and enjoy tasty home-cooking. There are tennis courts nearby to play or you can bicycle, hike and go on coach rides. The castle is not only a riding center, but also a fantastic vacation destination - so non-riding partners are welcome to come along and enjoy the fabulous countryside as well!
This is a stationary ride, so all nights are spent at the same accommodation.
You will stay in the castle, not one with turrets and towers, but rather a large dignified rural manor approximately 500 years old. It is surrounded by a (now dry) moat and lined with old trees forming a part of the park, which opens to the south to include our spacious riding arena. Castle Sindlingen is both a holiday hotel and a riding school.
With its open hilly terrain at almost 600 meters above sea-level, the view is superb and extends to the Swabian Alb to the south and the Black Forest to the west. You will be accommodated in one of the 22 rustic double rooms in the historic building. All the rooms are equipped with private baths.
Internet access is provided in the common areas of the castle.
Room Occupancy
If we are unable to find another rider to share a room with you, the single supplement fee does apply.
All meals are included. Drinks are not included in this package.
Please note that the main meal of the day is lunch while dinner is lighter
While staying at the castle:
Breakfast is served at 8:00 am.
Lunch is served at 12:30pm .
Dinner is at 6:30 pm unless you are taking a lesson in which case arrangements can be made for a later dinner.
Dietary Restrictions
We can cater to most dietary restrictions with prior notice. Unfortunately, we cannot cater to vegans.
This trip includes
and can accommodate special dietary requests.
Level & Experience:
Level: A-C for dressage
C-D for jumping
C+ for hacking
D for Hunt / Cross Country
There are about 80 horses in the stables. The core of these comprises our own school-horses. The horses are at home in the dressage ring just as much as in the jumping arena. All our horses are reliable for hacking, especially the many horses from Ireland, which we regularly buy on our visits to the Emerald Isle.
There is a whole range of very good ponies available for the training of children. If you wish to bring your own horse to a course or on holiday, we have extra stabling to accommodate them.
Riding Facilities
The riding center has 2 indoor arenas (the biggest measuring 27 x 66 meters), 4 hectares of outdoor training grounds. Apart from the usual show jumping rails, you will also find all the jumps necessary for cross-country training. For instance, several different banks, ditches, hedges, water jumps and a variety of natural jumps. We also have an outdoor sand-dressage arena.
Regular Riding Weeks
Our regular program includes 10 hours of instructions in dressage or jumping, of which 5 are in group sessions and 5 in private sessions. For more experienced riders we recommend to purchase an additional 10 instruction sessions (in advance). Your riding hours can include some hacking out if you like, but you should be a confident rider ... not suited for novice riders. If you would like to have additional private instructions, you can switch 2 group lessons for 1 private session. No riding on arrival and departure day. Lessons are around 50 minutes in length while hacks are 1-2 hours.
Hacking Weeks
We offer different dates each year for people that want to join us for some exciting and exhilarating trail riding. Every day include two hacks of several hours or whole-day hacks though delightful, varied landscape. Hacking weeks are among the nicest activities of the year. The spring week is usually not as heavily-booked as the autumn week.

Dear Readers…
This week I am moving house!
To say it has been a stressful time is an understatement – work (real day job!) has been busy, I have been very tired, I've had 8 weeks to plan a wedding, and we only confirmed our new pad TWO days before we had to leave our current place! However, it wasn't our fault, with a lot of let downs and screw ups, all I can say is that me and Mr C are incredibly resilient in the face of adversity!
At least we can say we found a great place to live now and it was down to chance!
I have managed to schedule posts for the week so although I will be all over the place (hello Ikea), there will be giveaways and reviews all week!
As soon as this move is done and dusted I will have just THREE weeks to finish planning the wedding! We picked a date rather spontaneously when we got engaged – I didn't want a long engagement and now I am wondering if I have missed out anything vitally important because to be honest, I think I have things just about under control?!
Although I don't have a wedding dress yet, I don't have a cake, I haven't thought about what the ceremony will entail…oh well. I'm sure 3 weeks is more than enough time, since we are leaving out a lot of the traditional customs and the usual wedding tat like monogrammed napkins!
If I pull this off, I'll do a 'How to plan a wedding in 2 months' post, eh!
I'll have more news to share in a week or two! Until then wish me luck! x

Just four months removed from giving birth to her first child, Jennifer Hudson is not expecting her second, a rep for the Grammy and Oscar winner confirmed to Access Hollywood on Wednesday.
"Contrary to what has been falsely reported, Jennifer Hudson is not pregnant," the rep told Access.
Hudson and fiance David Otunga welcomed their first child – son David Daniel Otunga, Jr. — on August 10.
In November, the former "American Idol" star opened up to Access Hollywood about her hopes for expanding her family.
"Maybe one more," she said when asked if any more kids were in the plans. "I'd like to have at least one more, a little girl. I want a girl and then maybe another one. You know, one baby at a time."
And while now may not be the right time for another addition to the family, that doesn't mean it's not a busy time for Hudson.
"Jennifer leaves in April for South Africa where she will portray Winnie Mandela in the feature film, 'Winnie.' It is a commitment she is excited about and takes very seriously," the rep added. "Jennifer is currently in the studio recording her second album and this is the only delivery she is looking forward to in 2010."
Hudson and Otunga got engaged in September 2008 after dating for about a year.

Allahpundit posted this clip from Barack Obama's town halls, adding feet stealers to the new ObamaCare lexicon of Evil Medical Professionals, a new entry after Tonsil Vultures. There is a point that the well-deserved avalanche of criticism misses, though. The clip has Obama explaining that government needs to take over the American health-care system to stop doctors from getting rich off of amputations of limbs from diabetic patients:
On the doctors' front, one of the things we can do is to reimburse doctors who are providing preventive care and not just the surgeon who provides care after somebody is sick. (Applause.) Nothing against surgeons. I want surgeons — I don't want to be getting a bunch of letters from surgeons now. I'm not dissing surgeons here. (Laughter.)
All I'm saying is let's take the example of something like diabetes, one of — a disease that's skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it's not treated as effectively as it could be. Right now if we paid a family — if a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they're taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance.
But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 — immediately the surgeon is reimbursed. Well, why not make sure that we're also reimbursing the care that prevents the amputation, right? That will save us money. (Applause.)
But here's what the Really Smart Guy in the Oval Office apparently doesn't understand about the medical system. Diabetics are treated by general practitioners and endocrinologists, neither of whom perform amputations. The AMA pointed out that Obama was off by a factor of 100 on the costs, but thus far no one has pointed out that the incentive structure he assumes doesn't exist. Only after a GP and the endocrinologist, plus probably an orthopedist and a couple of other specialists, decide that the limb cannot be saved does the surgeon remove the limb. It has nothing to do with the compensation that the GP and the endocrinologist receives, or an imaginary windfall for an amputation that will have nothing to do with either a GP or an endocrinologist. I know this from long-time personal experience as the spouse of a Type 1 diabetic who lost her eyesight and kidneys to the disease, and who worried about amputations for years before her pancreas transplant.
If Barack Obama doesn't understand that much about medical care in the US, why should we be listening to his ideas to radically restructure it? Maybe he should quit shooting off his mouth, withdraw this bill, and learn something about the industry he expects to dismantle and reassemble.
Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I'll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I'll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.
Addendum: Normally I'd put a link to Chris Muir's Day by Day site here, but today I want to do more than that. Chris has a fundraising drive to keep his excellent cartoon alive. Be sure to drop a few dollars in his collection to keep one of the Rightosphere's most talented warriors in the fight!

A local woman leaves after casting her vote during presidential elections in Tarabuco on December 6, 2009.Bolivian President Evo Morales, an Aymara native and former coca farmer —and a fervent anti-US leader— looked poised to easily win re-election and take control of the senate, the last bastion of the opposition. If those outcomes are confirmed, Morales would have the authority to push on with leftist reforms that already include limiting the size of landholdings, nationalizing the energy and telecommunications sectors, and empowering downtrodden indigenous communities.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Aaron White scored 17 points and Iowa hung on to beat Wisconsin 70-66 on Saturday night, knocking the Badgers out of first place in the Big Ten.
Devyn Marble added 13 for the Hawkeyes, which picked up their biggest win of the season on the 20th anniversary of the death of former player Chris Street.
Iowa (13-5, 2-3 Big Ten) jumped ahead by 20 points late in the first half and held off a late charge by the Badgers (13-5, 4-1), which beat second-ranked Indiana 64-59 on Tuesday.
George Marshall had 20 points, all in the second half, but the Badgers became the last Big Ten team to lose a league game. Wisconsin fell a half of a game behind Michigan State in the standings with the loss.

CALGARY - Veteran Canadian Forces officer Maj. Darryl Watts, who was convicted in a deadly training accident in Afghanistan, is to learn his fate Wednesday when a military judge sentences him.
Cmdr. Peter Lamont could send Watts to jail, order him thrown out of the Canadian Forces in disgrace or demote him.
Watts was found guilty in December of unlawfully causing bodily harm and negligent performance of military duty in the training accident north of Kandahar City.
Cpl. Josh Baker, 24, died when an anti-personnel mine loaded with 700 steel balls peppered a platoon on a practice range three years ago. Four other soldiers hit by the blast were seriously injured.
The prosecution argued during the trial that Watts, who was the platoon commander, didn't enforce safety standards and abdicated his duty as leader when he handed over responsibility to Warrant Officer Paul Ravensdale.
The defence argued that Watts's blameworthiness is on the low end of the scale, since no one could have predicted what his lawyer called a "freak accident."
"He should only receive a very minimum sentence ... a reprimand," defence lawyer Balfour Der said after a sentencing hearing last month.
"Maj. Watts was found guilty, but it's as marginal as it can be," he added.
"I'm fairly confident that under these circumstances he's not going to get anything more than a reprimand."
But the prosecution said Watts should spend time behind bars.
"There's little evidence of remorse from Maj. Watts or that he has accepted responsibility for his actions," Maj. Dylan Kerr argued during the hearing.
Kerr suggested a message must be sent about Watts's part in the accident. He has called for 18 months in jail as well as outright dismissal or a demotion of two ranks to lieutenant.
The court martial heard that the range was divided into four training sections that day. The first two tests of the anti-personnel mine went off without a hitch. But when the second firing occurred, the ball bearings fired backwards, hitting Baker and the others.
Videos show several soldiers, including Watts, standing around watching the test. They are not inside armoured vehicles or standing behind them for cover as set out in safety regulations.
Der said a harsh sentence could destroy his client's life. Watts works as a senior firefighter with the Calgary Fire Department as his regular day-to-day job.
"Jail would likely end his career as a firefighter. It would end his career as a military officer."
Watts's commanding officer, Maj. Christopher Lunney, pleaded guilty in September to negligent performance of duty, was demoted to captain and given a severe reprimand.
Ravensdale, who has since retired, was convicted last week of unlawfully causing bodily harm, two counts of breach of duty and one count of negligent performance of military duty. He has yet to be sentenced.

96% of Congressmen Agree: Bad Legislation Is Easier To Craft In Secret
from the what-the-public-doesn't-know-will-probably-hurt-them deptWe recently discussed the National Defense Authorization Act currently working its way through the House and Senate. Both have passed their respective bills but some debate continues over a controversial provision which aims to extend indefinite military detention (without charge or trial) to cover US citizens, rather than just foreign terrorist suspects.
The whole "indefinite military detention" aspect of the bill is heinous enough even if it just ends up being used against foreign suspects. But the decision to declare US territory as a "war zone" in order to mobilize the military against US citizens is particularly worrisome. Due to the fact that this provision is highly controversial and yet another in a long line of post-PATRIOT Act attacks on the Bill of Rights, Congress has decided to move the discussion behind closed doors, presumably to avoid any scrutiny from the very public it wishes to foist this legislation upon. The vote wasn't even close:
With the House having voted 406-17 to "close" portions of the meetings and avoid public scrutiny, members from both chambers and both parties are meeting in a secretive conference committee to work on reconciling the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. On the military detention provision, their main task is going to be to find a solution that can pass both chambers (again) and not draw a veto from President Obama.Here is the very brief list of representatives who still believe that government still has something to do with being "by the people, for the people":
Justin Amash (MI)As depressing as it is that only 17 representatives out of the 423 voting would stand up for government openness, it's even more depressing that the threat of a veto doesn't carry much weight. The administration is not altogether opposed to this provision, as is evidenced by this Statement of Administrative Policy:
Earl Blumenauer (OR)
Yvette Clarke (NY)
John Conyers (MI)
Peter DeFazio (OR)
Keith Ellison (MN)
Sam Farr (CA)
Raul Grijaiva (AZ)
Michael Honda (CA)
Dennis Kucinich (OH)
Barbara Lee (CA)
John Lewis (GA)
James McDermott (WA)
John Oliver (MA)
Ron Paul (TX)
Fortney Stark (CA)
Lynn Woolsey (CA)
Section 1031 attempts to expressly codify the detention authority that exists under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) (the "AUMF"). The authorities granted by the AUMF, including the detention authority, are essential to our ability to protect the American people from the threat posed by al-Qa'ida and its associated forces, and have enabled us to confront the full range of threats this country faces from those organizations and individuals. Because the authorities codified in this section already exist, the Administration does not believe codification is necessary and poses some risk. After a decade of settled jurisprudence on detention authority, Congress must be careful not to open a whole new series of legal questions that will distract from our efforts to protect the country. While the current language minimizes many of those risks, future legislative action must ensure that the codification in statute of express military detention authority does not carry unintended consequences that could compromise our ability to protect the American people.Basically, the administration is expressing its "concern" and advising Congress to pass clarifying legislation in the future. Of course, the legislation the House wanted to pass will already be on the books and judging by the swift passage of both the House and Senate versions, combined with this overwhelming vote for secrecy, there's no reason to believe Congress will ever feel the urge to dial back its overreach.
In fact, the only thing the administration strongly opposes enough to deploy a veto is the provision that would mandate this power be used against all terrorist suspects besides US citizens.
The Administration strongly objects to the military custody provision of section 1032, which would appear to mandate military custody for a certain class of terrorism suspects.The adminstration wants to retain its power to detain suspected terrorists outside the context of war and the Geneva Convention protections, but (at least according to this statement) it's much less concerned about mobilizing the military against US citizens. So the controversial Section 1031 can likely remain intact, unlike the Bill of Rights. It would be the Section 1032 mandate that would need to be altered to fit the administration's desires, namely broad power over suspected foreign terrorists.
The long and the short of it is that the government wants to retain its worldwide overreach and is more than willing to extend this grasp to US citizens, provided detaining the home crowd indefinitely doesn't interfere with detaining the visiting team indefinitely. All of this is being done under the pretense of keeping the US safe. And nothing's safer for citizens than being in indefinite "protective" custody, apparently.

The Goldstein Brownfields Foundation works to raise money and provide scholarships for minority law school students who want to pursue careers in environmental redevelopment and environmental public health; to raise money to support educational outreach programming for local governments, community based stakeholders, and students, teachers, and professors; and to raise money for, fund, initiate, and coordinate the restoration, redevelopment and reuse of polluted sites in environmental justice communities for the benefit of families and neighborhoods.
Our goal is through scholarships, workshops, and the investment of time, money, and our professional experience and expertise to increase the pace of cleanup and recycling of old factories, landfills, gas stations, and the like; create healthier neighborhoods and new jobs; slow urban sprawl; and preserve green space. We want a warm, fluid, vital, vibrant, logo that tells this story graphically through the use of distinct and memorable design elements.

This is a labor of love for us - we're putting our heart and soul into it - and has been many years in the making. We very much would like a logo that helps us communicate through your pictures what we're trying to accomplish through our action, which includes the following: First, we want to try and bring more minority students into the practice of environmental law, environmental redevelopment, and environmental public health, all critical areas that need more qualified lawyers who are more broadly representative of the world around us. Accordingly, in terms of a design element, there should be some graphic representation of the scholarships that we intend to award. Second, but closely related to our first goal, is the financial support we are going to give to general educational initiatives that are undertaken to help individuals and communities understand how specifically to cleanup polluted properties in their midst and how to deal with public health issues. Finally, we're going to raise funds to go into blighted communities and find polluted sites that no one else will touch because they're too dangerous, risky, and expensive, and we're going to take those sites and clean them up ourselves and then work with community stakeholders to figure out how to best put those sites "back to work" in a way that benefits the the physical, emotional, and economic vitality of the neighborhoods in which they're located.
We want you - we need you - to help us tell this ambitious story. For a better understanding of brownfields redevelopment and the activities we're likely to be involved in, please check out the following sites:

Complimentary Walking Vineyard Tour
Saturday; May 20th
Enjoy a glass of Cass wine and vineyard tour. The tour will include a govino glass for guest to take home!
Cass Winery has many attractions: Great wine; amazing food (especially the crab cakes); attentive service; and a beautiful venue both indoors and outside on the patio. Cass also has entertaining events from time to time that keep us coming back again and again. It's all good.
Superb central coast California wines served unpretentiously and with great enthusiasm- what more could you want? I think Cass has some of the best wines available in the Paso Robles region, without the high prices or snootiness you would find in Napa or Sonoma; it's wonderfully refreshing!
If we lived closer, you would see us more often! We belong to a number of wine clubs (more than we should) and I have to tell you that we let most of our wines sit for quite a while before we consume them (if they are ageable). Cass wines consistently blow us away with the quality for the money. We are very happy with continuing our membership. And the few times that we have been able to visit, we've had VERY good experiences with the tours and special barrel testing. Keep up the good work!
Every time we visit Cass we are impressed with the hospitality and knowledge of your team, the delicious food from your chef, and of the superb quality of your wines! Having passionate owners/partners actively participating with the public is a great recipe to create a contagious following, something that we also employ with our very active owners. I realize that we are just a couple of customers that come in now and then to buy a case of wine – but you and your team make us feel like we are the most important people they will encounter that day. BRAVO to you for creating this culture and empowerment in your entire team. We'll be back in a couple of months to pick up a case of Viognier and hopefully a case of Oasis Rose when it is available. With my Sister now a Cass club member, this will be a required stop for every trip to Paso. Until then our best wishes to you and yours.
WOW - Amazing wines, such a beautiful winery. The service is top notch, as well, friendly folks who love to share their food and wine. We were lucky enough to go on a Taco Bar day, tri-tip tacos, WOW WOW WOW. Amazingly delicious. It was a perfect day, great food and wine. Go here for your Paso Robles wine experience.
Thank you both so much for organizing our wedding at Cass Winery. Kelley closed the deal for us early on by being so much more responsive and detail-oriented than any other winery that we contacted. Michelle took care of all the little details before, during and after our wedding to make it a truly special experience. Kudos to Steve as well for making the vineyard and library room available for these events (and answering our frantic call on the wedding morning when the photographer was at the wrong gate!-). Thanks for treating us like family and we look forward to many more visits with you in the future.
Cannot put into words how absolutely amazing our experience was. From chef Jacobs food, to the amazing coordinator Michelle, and even the day of staff! They are the nicest people to work with. the venue was beautiful, staff was amazing, and food was perfect. I would recommend anyone to get married there! - (6.17.17; Tim & Brittany Via The Knot)
My husband and I had several recommendations from other wineries to stop by Cass for it's beautiful grounds and incredibly good food. We stopped by for lunch last year and we immediately fell in love. Their ceremony site is so dreamy and we loved the idea of getting married under a giant oak tree surrounded by vineyards. - (9.30.17; Charlie & Caitlin Via Wedding Wire)
Michelle, the day of coordinator for Cass, was one of the best parts of our wedding. She is calm, meticulous, so incredibly sweet and made wedding planning a piece of cake. I feel so blessed to have had such an incredible planning experience and I truly owe it to Michelle and the team at Cass. My wedding exceeded all expectations I had, it seriously brings a smile to my face every time I think about it! - (9.30.17; Charlie & Caitlin Via Wedding Wire)
Where do I begin?! My husband and I had our wedding at Cass on August 19th and it couldn't have been a more perfect day! The venue is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect size for our 60 person wedding. All our guests commented on how beautiful the winery and venue were! Michelle was AMAZING!! If I can give a bride one piece of advice, it would be to hire Michelle for your day of services! She worked with me from the time of booking all the way up through the day after the wedding. She made our day absolutely perfect :) - (8.19.17; Kara & Justin Via The Knot)
My husband and I had our wedding at Cass on August 19th and it couldn't have been a more perfect day! The venue is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect size for our 60 person wedding. All our guests commented on how beautiful the winery and venue were! The food was top notch and the wine.... just AMAZING. The guest house is also a huge plus! So cute, and so convenient for getting ready on the day of, as well as somewhere to stay on the wedding night. I would recommend Cass to anyone and everyone!!! - (8.19.17; Kara & Justin Via The Knot)
The food at Cass Winery is simply The. Best. At most weddings you get dry chicken or overcooked fish. We did a Burger Bar and it was a huge hit! We also ditched the wedding cake and opted for an Ice Cream Truck (Negronti's) which Cass recommended. When the truck pulled up after dinner, you could hear the excitement! Who doesn't want ice cream?! Plus, having ice cream cones made for some adorable pictures! - (9.16.17; Amber & Josh Via The Knot)
The ceremony site is under an old, beautiful oak tree and guests walk up this path right next to the grape vines in order to get there. It's absolutely breathtaking and you have shade! Who wants to get married while squinting in the sun? The reception is held right outside their tasting room. They provide farmhouse tables and chairs. I have nothing but good things to say about this venue from the wine, the food, the natural beauty of the vineyard to the amazing staff, servers, chef, owners and do yourself a favor and hire Michelle Curry, the wedding coordinator at Cass to be your day-of rescuer/planner/goddess! You will not regret it! - (9.16.17; Amber & Josh Via The Knot)
Cass Winery was my wedding venue on September 4th 2016. It was the most perfect, picturesque venue with the best staff I could have ever hoped for. Cass is the perfect place for a rustic, California wedding. The wedding package is very reasonably priced for everything that comes with it. It includes the wedding and reception site, a 2 night stay in the Cass guesthouse, and use of their vintage Cass cab! - (9.4.16; Tanna & Ren Via The Knot)
Michelle Curry is the wedding coordinator, although her services are not included in the wedding package I HIGHLY recommend you spend the money to have her. She made my wedding 100% stress free both with day of coordinating, taking care of ALL my rentals and communication with my flowers, DJ, rental delivery, cake delivery etc. If there were last minute things that needed to be done, she took care of it. I am so thankful for her. The money spent was well worth having a stress free wedding. - (9.4.16; Tanna & Ren Via The Knot)
The guesthouse is amazing. Its the perfect place to get ready and it looks so cute in photos. They have a vanity that make for some adorable reflection shots and plenty of natural lighting for hair, makeup and photos. There are 3 bedrooms which make it easy for my bridal party to stay with me the night before. Included in the wedding package is 2 bottles of sparkling Marsanne for mimosas while getting ready the day of! Cass wines are also delicious. We served the Cass Rose and Grenache. Both were a hit! If you become a wine member you get a great discount on the wine. - (9.4.16; Tanna & Ren Via The Knot)
Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about Cass. From the beautiful venue, the amazing staff, the food, wine, guesthouse and Cass cab! I would 110% recommend anyone who wants a rustic vineyard wedding to Cass! - (9.4.16; Tanna & Ren Via The Knot)
Stunning venue, robust garden, delectable menu, delicious wines, and incredibly wonderful staff. We hosted an evening event for the local Women In Business annual Farm to Fork and Scholarship event. Michelle, their event coordinator was a delight to work with. She was welcoming, creative, professional, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Their head chef, Michael, came out to speak to our guests and shared the story of their garden and how he creates meals from it. You can't get more farm to fork than that! Whether you're looking to do some wine tasting or group celebration for an afternoon or you're looking to host any type of event, Cass has the perfect venue. It's beauty and location provide the perfect ambiance. They have an array of delicious reds and whites which you must try! Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you and can't wait to return again soon!
EXCELLENT RETREAT FROM EVERYTHING! While this was designed to be a secluded stay, it was so enjoyable for us that next time we will bring friends to share the experience. It was great to escape everyday life and hear nothing but birds. We wish we had risen just 15 minutes earlier as the sun rose just in front of the front porch. Thanks for the tranquility and hospitality! See you all again soon. - (Chris F. via Home Away)
BEAUTIFUL VIEWS AND A PERFECT HOUSE FOR A WEEKEND VISITING WINERIES! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights with 2 other couples and had a great time! The views are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the morning and around the fire pit (wood provided!) at night. The hospitality from the owner was superb. There are 3 nice sized bedrooms and everything was very clean/well-kept. There is a full kitchen which was great for cooking. The location is close by to many other wineries and a short walk away from the Cass tasting room - I would certainly recommend not only stopping here for wine, but food too! Overall, it was the perfect place for our weekend getaway! - (Stephanie T. via Home Away)
Peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in the guesthouse while attending our son graduation from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. House is clean, very comfortable and well equipped. It overlooks the vineyard and views are stunning, great place to relax after a busy day. We will have to come back because we didn't have time to visit any of the wineries. I didn't realize that graduation festivities will take all of our time. Thank you Kathryn for an awesome bottle of wine we found in the fridge. After a 6 hour car drive, it was a perfect choice! Also big thanks for responding to my emails with the last minute questions quickly, really appreciate that. I would certainly recommend guesthouse to all looking for a peaceful gateway and beautiful scenery. - (Anna Via HomeAway)

IR Scrolling Display
March 2, 2011 Nick clued us in to the handy MAXIM 6953 5x7 LED display driver. After some Googling which at times lead us to MAXIM magazine, Nick and Steve put in an order on MAXIM's site for 3 free samples, which should arrive at Steve's house soon.
March 9, 2011 Steve gave 2 of the 3 MAXIM 6953 chips to Nick and kept one to experiment with. Nick is gonna get some IR LEDs and make sure they actually are visible thru a digital camera outside during daylight so as to make sure it's worth it to buy all those LEDs.
Design notes
5x7 characters Will have 4 characters scrolling
Driver chip: MAXIM 6953 This uses a pretty basic serial interface to drive the LEDs (I2C) There is a character set defined in ROM. Users can define their own symbols or use the user defined characters to implement scrolling, but doing so requires a crudload of code.
Here's a nifty project somebody did
IR LEDS front of box will be covered w/ lens, trashbag, something like that
Programming this is very easy via an Arduino. See

U.S. airlines reaped $1.45 billion in baggage and reservation change fees in first three months of 2012, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data released Friday.
Of that amount $816 million was from baggage fees and $631 million from reservation change fees, the agency's Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported.
The top five airlines for baggage fee collection in order were Delta, United, American, US Airways and Spirit.
Miramar-based Spirit Airlines earned $38 million in baggage fee revenue in the first quarter. It was first U.S. airline to charge for carry-on bags stored in the overhead bin nearly two years ago. Allegiant Air began charging for carry-on bags placed in bins in April.
Starting in October, Spirit's new $2 fee for each kiosk-printed boarding pass will kick in. It started charging $5 for agent-printed passes at the airport in January.
Spirit is the top carrier at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with 17.4 percent of total passenger traffic as of May this year.
Competitors JetBlue Airways, Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines collected $17.2 million, $16 million and $7.7 million respectively in baggage fees in the same period. Delta grabbed $198 million from bag fees.
JetBlue ranks as the No. 2 carrier at the Fort Lauderdale airport, with 17 percent of passenger traffic for the same five-month period.
Alaska Air, which starts service between Seattle and Fort Lauderdale July 16, generated $33 million from bag fees.
The top five airlines for reservation cancellation and change fees in order were Delta, United, American, US Airways and JetBlue.

Clippers president Andy Roeser taking leave of absence
NEW YORK >> Los Angeles Clippers President Andy Roeser is taking an indefinite leave of absence while the NBA restructures the franchise in the wake of owner Donald Sterling's lifetime ban.
Roeser's immediate departure was announced Tuesday by the NBA. The league announced plans last week to appoint a CEO to oversee the franchise in Sterling's absence.
"This will provide an opportunity for a new CEO to begin on a clean slate and for the team to stabilize under difficult circumstances," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million and urged owners to force him to sell the Clippers a week ago, responding to league-wide outrage over racist comments made by the 80-year-old real-estate mogul.
Sterling is the NBA's longest-tenured owner after buying the Clippers in 1981. Roeser, one of the Clippers' alternate governors, is one of the league's longest-tenured executives, having just completed his 30th season with the team.
Roeser has been a loyal frontman for Sterling since the franchise's days in San Diego, and he stood by Sterling during every controversial stretch of the owner's career. Only radio and television play-by-play announcer Ralph Lawler has worked for the Clippers longer than the 54-year-old Roeser, who became team president in 2007.
But Roeser infuriated many longtime Clippers employees last week after Sterling's private conversation was made public by TMZ.
While nearly everyone else was reacting with outrage, Roeser released a statement questioning whether the recordings of Sterling were legitimate, while simultaneously apologizing on Sterling's behalf for sentiments about Magic Johnson on the recordings. Roeser's statement was sympathetic to Sterling and criticized V. Stiviano, Sterling's longtime associate and the other voice on the recordings.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Roeser's statement upset many loyal Clippers employees who had been horrified by Sterling's comments. Rivers held meetings with much of the Clippers' front-office staff last week while Sterling was ousted, encouraging them to keep working for the franchise.
Roeser joined the organization in 1984 from an accounting firm. Two years later, he became executive vice president, overseeing all facets of the team's business operations. He has been president of the Los Angeles Clippers Foundation since it began in 1994.
He helped bring Rivers to Los Angeles from the Boston Celtics last June, and was part of the acquisition of All-Star guard Chris Paul in 2011. Roeser also oversaw the development and construction of the team's training facility that opened in 2008.
Rivers is the Clippers' senior vice president of basketball operations, working alongside executive vice president of player personnel Gary Sacks on the basketball side of the team's operations.
The Clippers overcame the distraction of Sterling's banishment to outlast Golden State in a seven-game first-round series on Saturday night.
After just one day off, they returned to the court and trounced Oklahoma City 122-105 on the road Monday night in the opener of their Western Conference semifinal series.

Richard Littlemore | February 5, 2007
By Richard Littlemore • Monday, February 5, 2007 - 16:42
The deathless and - in many specific respects - completely fictional meanderings of Dr. Tim Ball have begun appearing again on right-wing blogs all over the net. At City Troll, at Convenient Untruth and at New Orleans Lady, the same tired and retreaded old climate rant paints Dr. Ball as the courageous victim of a plot to silence a well-meaning skeptic.
But Ball can't even tell the truth about his own resume. His claim to be the first Climatology Ph.D. in Canada is a total falsehood; his degree was in historical geography - not climatology - and it was nowhere near the first ever granted to someone writing vaguely in the field. It also was granted by the university as a doctor of philosophy, not the more prestigious "doctor of science" that Ball claims in these articles.
UPDATE: to make matters worse, it looks like Ball's "global warming is good for us" message is running front page in the right-wing uber site, The Drudge Report.
He claims as well to have been a professor (again of climatology) at the University of Winnipeg for 32 years, while he confirmed in his own Statement of Claim in a pending lawsuit (look here ) that he was a professor (of geography, never climatology) for just eight years.
Dr. Ball claims never to have been paid by oil and gas interests, but if you look here , you'll find a Globe and Mail story in which Dr. Barry Cooper, the man behind Ball's former industry front group, the Friends of Science , offers this clumsy admission: "[The money's] not exclusively from the oil and gas industry," says Prof. Cooper. "It's also from foundations and individuals. I can't tell you the names of those companies, or the foundations for that matter, or the individuals."
Here you'll find a podcast of Dr. Ball talking to the Ottawa Citizen , saying that he goes out of his way to ignore who might be paying his bills, but crediting the energy industry lobby firm, the High Park Group . And here, you'll find High Park Group veteran Tom Harris, telling the Toronto Star that his new industry front group, the Natural Resources Stewardship Project , was created at the suggestion of High Park Group president Timothy Egan.
Tom Harris, executive director of the NRSP, is credited by New Orleans Lady for passing along this version of the Ball tirade, also printed Monday on the right-wingy website, Canada Free Press. Yet all of these factual inconsistencies have been brought to Harris's attention on previous occasions.
It is inevitable that this post will be criticized as an ad hominem attack on dear Dr. Ball (and perhaps on Harris, as well). But how can you argue science with someone who doesn't feel bound by the limits of truth?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has just endured an unprecedented process of vetting and peer-review to produce a document, the veracity of which has been double-checked and endorsed by thousands of the best scientists in the world. It must be soul-destroying to see a long-retired geographer who rarely published during his colourless academic career and who never conducted any research in atmospheric science dismiss that effort without a shred of evidence or a hint of good conscience.

It gets better...
I suppose you've seen the "rebuttal" that's been liberally cut 'n' pasted around the denialist sites, from talk-radio host Neil Boortz. Nearly every item on his list embodies a logical fallacy or two, but I love that my favorite:
The polar ice caps on Mars are melting. How did our CO2 emissions get all the way to Mars?
seems to be getting the most attention. I was prepared to take it as tongue-in-cheek, but many seem to be taking at face value.
My second favorite:
There are about 160,000 glaciers around the world. Most have never been visited or measured by man. The great majority of these glaciers are growing, not melting.
This is what we're up against.
Of course, it's an article of faith that the UN is not to be trusted. After all, the IPCC scientists were the architects of the disastrous oil-for-food scam.
I suppose our friends, Johan I Kanada and ZOG, who are tireless defenders of intellectual rigour in the search for the truth, would make short work of a fraudster science denier like Boortz.

Doctorates Disambiguated
A related point: I have seen it asserted that the degree of "Doctor of Science" is a more prestigious one than a Ph.D. That may be the case, since in many universities the Doctor of Science degree is an honorary one – it's awarded for non-academic contributions to the university and/or the community. So it's really irrelevant that Dr. Ball doesn't hold a Doctorate of Science – neither do most academics.
What may have got people mixed up is that Dr. Ball's Ph.D. was awarded, as I understand it, by a Department of Geography, not a Department of Climatology. That may or may not be significant.

Valid PhD
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
PhD indeed; not ScD
You're quite right that Ball's Ph.D. is valid and the previous commenter is right that Doctor of Philosophy is the title that attaches itself to most degrees, scientific or otherwise.
Doctor of Science, however, is a degree of high honour, rarely accorded and only then to the truly outstanding. THAT's what Ball is claiming he has. And that, like much else that he claims, is not quite close enough to the truth.

appeal to authority
I am the first etc. etc. and have extensive background [in something barely related] etc. etc. and have an unbelievably long period of being so etc. etc. indicating my recognition, and I say that X, therefore you can believe X.
It is a perverse form of argument, which invites correction, even when it is used by a bonafide authority. The user of such an argument is often aware that he can deflect the truth by crying "ad hominem, ad hominem, they're picking on me personally". It is a cowardly defense for an unjustified method of persuasion, and no real scientist or anyone else trained in methods of discovery would ever use it. (It may be correct to apply in some cases of technology or skill, for example shoemaker, artist, judokan, mechanic, etc.) Similarly, no real scientist would be motivated to say, or would have to say, "I have an extensive background", so believe me, or "Few listen to me despite the fact that I was the first etc." What kind of reader or even camp follower could be convinced by such a claim, even if it were true?

ZOG if you're going to be accusing others of ad hominem attacks, you should really not engage in your own. Doesn't do a whole lot for your credibility. Can you prove that Hoggan's PR flacks are paid liars? I'm all ears.
DAN The truth is, the "ad hominem!" defense is the only one still open to most deniers. Sadly, they chose their version of the truth for non-scientific reasons–generally it's libertarian ideology, sometimes it's a xenophobic hatred of environmentalists, often its both–and that truth is crumbling around them. Going on the attack with their "ad hominem" claims, or their "priests of global warming" actually helps them avoid a much more painful reality: the unravelling of their whole worldview. There's a lot more at stake for them than we realize. I would feel sorry for them if they weren't so mean-spirited, or if they weren't messing around with my children's future.

Climate Change Science is not "left wing"
The Vatican, the Pentagon, and the CIA say there is global warming. Are they leftists? The CIA has a Center for Climate Change and National Security. The head of that unit, acording to media reports, is Larry Kobayashi. Why don't you google his name.
You should read the Russian media because they make the same arguments that you do. You are the one spouting the Kremlin line.
The former CEO of Gazprom, Russia's President Medvedev, is the one who claimed that climate change was a "trick."
Gazprom is majority-owned by the Russian government.
Time (8-2-10) observes:
Two months before Copenhagen, [Russia's] state-owned Channel One television aired a documentary called The History of a Deception: Global Warming, which argued that the notion of man-made climate change was the result of an international media conspiracy. A month later, hackers sparked the so-called Climategate scandal by stealing e-mails from European climate researchers. The hacked e-mails, which were then used to support the arguments of global-warming skeptics, appeared to have been distributed through a server in the Siberian oil town of Tomsk, raising suspicion among some environmental activists of Russia's involvement in the leak….
"Broadly speaking, the Russian position has always been that climate change is an invention of the West to try to bring Russia to its knees," says Vladimir Chuprov, director of the Greenpeace energy department in Moscow. Case in point: when Medvedev visited Tomsk last winter, he called the global-warming debate "some kind of tricky campaign made up by some commercial structures to promote their business projects."
