This early signed Mexico pendent is a large cross with a round tiger eye center with little crosses dangling down. Signed Taxco 925 RB Mexico with the Eagle mark #3 was made in the 1940's. Measures 4-1/4 inches long and 4-1/4 inches wide. Weighs 20.5 grams total weight. The fine detailed filagree has a wonderful aged patina. The workmanship on this unusual cross is quite beautiful. The tiger eye is 8mm wide and is inlaid. All the circles that hold each cross has been soldered that show the quality of this great pendent. This cross is one of the nicest pieces of early Mexican Taxco I have put up for sale on Ruby Lane. Will make a great addition to any fine jewelry or costume jewelry collection.

If we know who we are in Christ Jesus we will know that as servants of God we must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending) and have nothing to do with unedifying, stupid controversies over ignorant questions, for they only foster strife (2 Timothy 2:23 amp. paraphrased). Instead the servant of the Lord must be kind, patient and forbearing and gentle (2 Timothy 2:25 amp. paraphrased). We clothe ourselves as God's own chosen ones, His own picked representatives, who are purified and holy and well-beloved by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of ourselves, gentle ways and patience which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper, we must be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference a grievance or complaint against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has freely forgiven us, so must we also forgive ( Colossians 3:12-13 amp.). That is how we must treat our brothers and sisters in Christ.
When it comes to evil conduct it must be addressed with Godly wisdom by those who know who they are in Christ/who are mature in the Lord and His Word. There must be correction brought forth, rebuke, warnings and urging, for the time is coming when people will not hear truth any longer but only encircle themselves with others that share in their error as to satisfy their liking. Are we in that time yet? It truly seems as though we are but we must continue to be calm, cool and steady. Just as Paul told Timothy to do in (2 Timothy 4) and continue to do the work of an evangelist. The great commission is to go. Know Him (Jesus) for He is the Word, He is the Way, He is the Truth and He is the Life and no man can come to the Father except through Him. We should show forth Jesus in our lives in love and with great joy and have hope and peace from God which passes all understanding! If you desire to know what it is really like to experience freedom and the absence of fear and anxiety and to know total rest, peace and joy despite circumstances then you must know who you are in Christ and walk in the power of the Spirit and not the flesh! In so doing, you will fear no man but only reverence God. He is with you always and He will never leave you or forsake you. To experience freedom and boldness like you have never known before will be when you know who you are in Christ and who God has created you to be. Pray and ask God to help you to not just know of Him but to truly know Him and who you are in Him, and that He would do this in you by the power of His Holy Spirit in Jesus Name! For it is Christ in us our hope of glory for those that know Him and know who they are in Him!

This one seems unique but still could simply be the result of cranial deformation or fracturing fragmentation after death but it appears to have a center bony ridge down the center. I'd like to view other angles.
If there is to be any validity to the whole Ancient Alien hypothesis then sooner or later there will need to be a game changing find...
edit on 22-12-2012 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)
Is is me or does the jaw bone seem odd in shape.
The tooth alignment looks a little suspect also.
I am not saying this is a skull of alien origin; I am just pointing out something which I see as different compared to "modern man".

Discussions about eggcorns and related topics

Registrations were closed for a long time because of forum spam, but I have re-opened them on a trial basis.
The forum administrator (chris dot waigl at gmail dot com) reserves the right to request users to plausibly demonstrate that they are real people with an interest in the topic of eggcorns. Otherwise they may be removed with no further justification. Likewise, accounts that have not been used for posting may be removed.
Thanks for your understanding.
Chris -- 2015-05-30
A vote of confidence is an expression of support; I don't know whether it is related to the notion of a "confidence vote" for the government in a parliamentary system. A boat of confidence looks to be a quite substantially larger expression of support. The first two instances have lost their interpersonal character and are therefore less eggcornish; the last two are clearer eggcorns.
You may want to state "Reference: Available" to add a boat of confidence.
I said with a boat of confidence,"You'll never get me, U sonuvabitches
that it was possible to be issued with a "boat" of confidence
any wrestler that undergoes the Gaijin training in Japan gets a boat of confidence from me.
If you float the question, you might get a boat of confidence, I suppose.

we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .

Good morning! It will be crisp and partly cloudy in Albany, with a projected high of 46 degrees. Gov. Andrew Cuomo remains downstate but has no announced public schedule. The Thruway Authority will hold an equipment auction today, and the Public Authorities Control Board meets this afternoon at the Capitol. Here are this morning's headlines…
Senator-elect Simcha Felder, a Democrat, announced he would caucus with Republicans. The move brings the GOP a step closer to maintaining a 32-seat majority in the upper legislative chamber, and makes it possible, pending one upstate recount, for Republicans to control the chamber without aligning with the four-member Independent Democratic Conference. (TU/DN/NYP)
Rochester Sen. Ted O'Brien said he wouldn't be joining the IDC. Period. (SOP)
"The only thing I'm prepared to say now is, we believe that the Independent Democratic Conference will be a permanent third conference within the New York Senate, and the Independent Democratic Conference will have a major role in shaping the policy agenda of this state," Sen. Jeff Klein, de facto leader of the IDC, told Tom Precious. (BN)
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a Moreland Act commission would examine utilities' response to Superstorm Sandy, which has come under increasing criticism. (TU/DN)
On Long Island, there are 13,000 people without power and 28,400 whose homes are too damaged to receive power. Utility LIPA began releasing some of its outside work crews. Michael Hervey, the authority's chief operating officer, tendered his resignation. (Newsday)
The whole thing continues a somewhat awkward political dance for Cuomo: He's trying to channel populist rage by bashing the authority, but people are starting to realize that he controls it, and assigning blame as such. (WSJ/NYT)
The Times Union urged Congress to pass a supplemental storm relief appropriation. (TU)
Nicole Gelinas: But it's simplistic for New York to think because it's suffered a $30 billion hit, it should get $30 billion from DC. Some losses, for starters, are irrecoverable. Moreover, the governor is asking without knowing what New York needs. (NYP)
The state Thruway Authority postponed a board meeting, where it was expected to consider a 45 percent toll hike on commercial vehicles, for the second time in four days. (TU/GNS)
The Authority's vice chair was openly critical of its approach to the entire process. (BN)
Boat owners could be slapped with a $40 fee to fight invasive species in Lake George. (TU)
Attorney general Eric Schneiderman announced a $210 million settlement with Ivy Asset Management, a Bank of New York affiliate that may have abetted Bernie Madoff. (WSJ)
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has raged against tax hikes, said Sandy will prompt an inevitable and justified rise in levies. (NYT)
CSPAN is filming the story of Albany. (TU)
The Schenectady City Council rejected Mayor Gary McCarthy's budget vetoes. (TU)
The average salary for public school employees on Long Island is $73,949, still the highest in the state, data maintained by the Empire Center show. (Newsday)
The state can't get its Christmas tree because of a mechanical problem with the truck that will haul it to the Empire State plaza. (TU)
Gristedes CEO John Catsimatidis has started an exploratory committee as the GOP candidate for mayor of New York City. (Crains)
Albany City Treasurer Kathy Sheehan is expected to formally announce her mayoral run on Saturday. (TU)
Liquor store owner Jeff Saunders' takeaway from Cuomo's booze summit is that consumers need to drink more New York wine. (TU)
Albany County legislators passed a new law requiring pawn shops register with officials, and hold merchandise for 10 days before re-selling it. (TU)
Cindy Adams tells the story of how New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio first started dating his wife. (NYP)
Mike Long and Rep. Bob Turner talked about losing their homes in Sandy. (C&S)
Foxconn says it is not behind Project Azalea, a major tech manufacturing plant being scouted, possibly, for Upstate America. (TU)
Xerox is laying off 2,500 workers worldwide. Regeneron Pharmeceuticals is adding 300 jobs at its East Greenbush facility. (D&C/TU)
Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan led several elected officials expressing concern about hydrofracking. (GNS)
Democrat Cheryl Roberts finally conceded her loss to Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin. (Record)
Staff Sgt. Dain Venne, 29, was buried in Port Henry. (Press Republican)
Here are some national headlines…
Gen. John Allen's appointment as supreme allied commander of NATO is on hold after officials discovered arguably flirtatious e-mails he exchanged with Jill Kelley, a Tampa socialite. Kelley complained to the FBI after receiving harassing e-mails from Paula Bardwell, who turned out to be having an affair with Gen. David Petraeus. (WSJ/WP)
Both parties are digging in on the fiscal cliff. (AP)
Barack Obama met with organized labor leaders and said he would not accept a deal that extended tax cuts on Americans reporting over $250,000 in income. (NYT)
Pew Research Center President Andrew Kohut: A week after President Obama won re-election, two themes are dominant. First, that Mr. Obama kept his job because key elements of his base—notably young people, African-Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans—turned out for him. Second, that the growing size of these voting blocs represents a decisive challenge for the Republican Party.//Both points are true, but most observers are overstating the gravity of the GOP's problem. In particular, they are paying too little attention to how weak a candidate Mitt Romney was, and how much that hurt Republican prospects. (WSJ)
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennett was offered the reins of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee. (Politico)
Happy Birthday to…
Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz, Rachel Noerdlinger, Josh Meltzer and Melissa Mansfield.
What you missed yesterday…
Gov. David Paterson offered his thoughts about the state Senate and how it benefits Gov. Andrew Cuomo … Michelle Smith Hook will be Eric Schneiderman's new Albany spokeswoman … and read the full text of Tom DiNapoli's audit of Schenectady.
Et cetera…

Republic Wireless dumping inventory before smartphone launch
Republic Wireless is getting closer to solving its biggest problem. While its subscription rates may be cheap enough to disrupt the Verizons and AT&Ts of the world, its phone technology is already outdated.
Company spokesperson Cherie Gary tells me the "deep discounts" recently announced regarding its current handsets aren't about raking in cash; they're about clearing inventory. The new smartphones the company has hinted at in the past will be here in a matter of months.
No word on whether it's an Android or iOS device. Gary says the company is working "very closely" with a handset manufacturer.
The testing process between Republic Wireless, its mystery partner and Sprint takes "longer than we'd like," she says, adding that it's still the company's top priority.
Republic Wireless, part of Raleigh-based Bandwidth, offers phones and service that's router-based with a Sprint backup.

I totally agree with Marie Arvette, it would sure be nice if a person could go to a Class II casino here. Not being totally depraved, I would enjoy an hour or two playing some slots without a two-hour round trip.

Seems odd that the state-run video games haven't turned the town into Sin City yet, and with no security I don't particularly want to go to them. Too bad the local people can't vote on this issue. — P. Kochen, Phoenix
Memorial Day is one of the major holidays that the Ashland Kiwanis club places flags around town for subscribers. This is traditionally one of our most important flag days.
This year the weather did not cooperate and we were not able to place the flags. When our flags get wet, there is not a quick way to dry them before they are returned to their shelter. We wanted you to know what happened because we know that our Ashland residents and visiting tourists expect to see the flags waiving in the breeze. — Ron Parker, president, Ashland Kiwanis Club
Many investors were very pleased recently when the Dow Jones went over 15,000 for the first time in history. Could it be because the Federal Reserve is creating an easy money bubble, since they are still buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds each month?
Investors are borrowing against their portfolios, reaching levels not seen since the last financial crisis, putting themselves at great risk. Five years ago in 2008, the stock market lost 777 points in one day and a lot of people lost a bundle of money.
In my opinion, the stock market is just a lot of fluff or cotton candy. It's made up of the same stuff the dollar is made of (worthless paper). Now some large banks and some brokerage houses are issuing paper gold and silver certificates. Who ever heard of such foolishness. If you want a great investment, look to God's word. — Gordon DeVos, Medford
This letter is a thank you to all the people who sent their ballots in marking my name for the Central Point School Board.
This is also a letter saying thank you to people who supported my campaign even though they could not vote in our district. Your support and good wishes meant the world to me. As you know, I was not successful, but I don't consider the 236-vote margin a huge loss.
I have been on the board for 12 years and have met and worked with some phenomenal people. I want you all to know that even though I will not be on the board, I will be volunteering in the district and supporting all the efforts you make daily for our kids.
Again, thank you to all who supported my campaign. — June M. Brock, Central Point

CUISINE MAGAZINE - ISSUE 180 | JANUARY 2017: Acidity is Sauvignon Blanc's rhythm section. It supplies the wine with line and energy, as well as serving as a counterweight to the sweet fruit riffs. Like a grape's other elements, acids need to ripen. It seems that achieving that riper, soft acidity was something of a challenge in Marlborough in 2016. "We had to wait for it to happen," explained tasting planel judge Helen Morrison. "It was a late vintage - a little scary it was so late - but the rain did hold off and we picked fruit when we wanted, with the acidity we wanted." For those who didn't wait and picked earlier, the results were different. "In a number of wines at this tasting, the acidity was a little spiky and lacking ripeness," noted tasting panel chair Ben Glover. "But overall, we saw some excellent wines emerge, especially from the more experienced producers."
#4 / 5 Stars + Best Buy
Part of the new Sub Region range from Mud House, this wine shines the light on the parternship between Marlborough's Rapaura district and Sauvingon Blanc. It leads with a smoky, struck match note that persists, mingling with grapefruit and lime characters and adding textrual punch.

When a lemon is squeezed
tightly around its waist;
its pips popping out as it's squashed.
Do you hear it scream?
I mean,
like a mad man being defaced -
or a frantic lady being chased.
Do you hear the lemon scream?
Of course, you don't hear it.
Because you've already sliced it in twain,
and that must've produced an awfully discordant whine.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Mother-of-pearl is found on the shells of mollusks, such as mussels and oysters, and the shells of pseudopods, such as snails. When the young of these creatures come into the world, they create a shell "house" in order to preserve their existence. The walls of this housing are formed with layers of their secretions, ensuring a simultaneous growth of house and creature together.
Depending on the type of animal and the environment in which it lives, secretions create various shapes and colors found on the different types of mother-of-pearl. White mother-of-pearl comes from pearl-bearing oysters. It features high reflective properties and is one of the most commonly used types of this material. Iridescent mother-of-pearl is a type in which the colors of pink and green are predominant, while variegated mother-of-pearl is a multicolored type. Stone mother-of-pearl is white with a low reflective power, while mat mother-of-pearl is dull grey and also has a low reflective power.
The shiny quality of mother-of-pearl has attracted attention for thousands of years. The Louvre Museum features mother-of-pearl objects that belonged to the Sumerians and were found in Mesopotamia. In China, a dish with geometric-shaped pieces of mother-of-pearl was found that belonged to the Tang Dynasty in 618-906 A.D. Mother-of-pearl work was also common in ancient Italy, Greece and Cyprus. Today, different types of mother-of-pearl are commonly used in the art world. This type of art is certainly a challenge, for in order for them to be made into works of art, the mother-of-pearl pieces must be thick enough to withstand being worked upon and be of high enough quality to beautifully reflect colors of the rainbow.
Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz that features a fine texture with a smooth black color. Some onyx can display white bands or ribbons against black or brown backgrounds. The bands that move through the stone run parallel and onyx is therefore sometimes known as zebra agate. Mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay, most onyx today is color-enhanced to increase its depth of color. It ranks a 6.5 on the Mohs Scale and is an ideal stone for carving. In fact, it is a favorite material of lapidary artists.
Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word "onux" which means fingernail. Legend says that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of her heavenly body would ever perish. In Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony were called onyx. Later, the Romans narrowed the term to refer to only the black and dark brown colors, while the reddish brown and white onyx became known as sardonyx. Highly valued in Rome, sardonyx was especially used for seals because it was said to never stick to the wax. Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio was famous for wearing sardonyx.
Worn during mourning in the Victorian age, onyx is now traditionally given as a 7th wedding anniversary gift. It is thought to increase happiness, self-control, courage, intuition and instincts. The stone is also believed to cool the yearnings of love and decrease sexual desire.
Paua Shell (Abalone)
Paua shell features vibrant color variations of blue, green, silver, pink, purple and mother-of-pearl. Although its rough exterior is black, paua's interior is the most colorful type of abalone shell in the world. Its iridescent patterns even change color when viewed from different angles. Because color range and patterns vary from shell to shell, each piece of paua is unique and one-of-a-kind.
Paua is a species of abalone that is found only in the seas around New Zealand. It has larger cousins located around the world, such as in California and Japan, but those species aren't as colorful. Paua's unique coloring is produced from the rich volcanic sediments found within the unpolluted southern New Zealand waters. They are marine mollusks that eat seaweed and cling to rocks at depths of one to ten meters. The holes in the shells are for breathing and reproduction. Starfish are paua's main predator and can suffocate the shellfish by putting their tentacles over the breathing holes, forcing it to let go of the rock.
Used for food since ancient times, paua meat is considered a delicacy. The exquisite shells used for ornamentation are simply natural by-products. The New Zealand government strictly controls the harvesting of abalone to ensure the sustainability of this natural resource. It has enforced a quota system for the gathering of paua by both commercial and individual fishermen. Paua fishers must free-dive to pry the mollusks from the rocks, as no compressed air diving is allowed. Moreover, all paua that is gathered must be no smaller than five inches in size. There are stiff penalties for those caught removing undersize shells.
Pacific Rim cultures have considered paua shell a symbol of good fortune and believe it to have powers as an aphrodisiac. Some believe that wearing paua shell aids in creativity and calming. Folklore identifies paua with beauty, physical strength and power. It is believed to improve self-image and increase personal strength and endurance.
Malachite is a stone that features light and dark green banded areas. Sleek and luxurious in texture, it contains natural black bands that vary from piece to piece, making it special and unique. Ancient Egyptians began mining it as early as 4000 BC! Malachite gems are found naturally combined with other minerals, such as chrysocolla. It's commonly found in Zaire, Russia, Germany, France, Chile, Australia and the southwestern United States. Considered the guardian stone of travelers, malachite is worn to detect danger and is believed to break into pieces when danger is near. Many believe malachite possesses the ability to calm the nerves. It is also known for creating peace, hope and success in business, as it can bring understanding and patience to those in its presence.

The main cause of the hair loss in men is the hormonal imbalance i.e. excessive production of the dihydrotestosterone and reduction in the levels of the testosterone. This happens due to the conversion of the testosterone to the dihydrotestosterone in excessive amount. This process is being guided by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. When this enzyme is produced in excessive amount, it converts all the present testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The DHT sticks to the hair follicles and reduces the blood nutrient supply to the hairs. As a result hairs get weak and they fall down. The bald patches are noted in few days and a person suffers with the male pattern baldness.Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Here, in the rural part of the Chesapeake Bay region, local seafood is the cuisine of choice. Rightly so, because it's hard to beat eating crabs and oysters literally harvested the same day that you are eating them. Rockfish season is also on the horizon, and my father in law and husband are known to come back from a day of fishing with as much as the law allows.
It's pretty simple to pair wine with a simple crabcake, or rockfish filet with lemon butter, or roasted oysters. (At least, it is for me. If you're going to drink wine in coastal Virginia, those pairings better be nothing short of second nature!)
It's the fall and winter surf and dishes that make the pairings so much more difficult. I am often stumped by what to pair with a filet mignon topped with crab imperial, or rockfish roasted with fingerling potatoes and wrapped in smithfield bacon, or a fresh hamburger topped with lump crabmeat and Old Bay mayonnaise. Even my friends I consider experts on wine have trouble with those pairings.
So, just for fun, what would you drink with a filet mignon topped with crab imperial? Rockfish wrapped in bacon and roasted with fingerling potatoes? A hamburger topped with lump crab and Old Bay mayo?
A perfect wine pairing for the Chesapeake Bay region
- Reply by EMark, Sep 21, 2011.
I would think that you should try to match to the most predominant profile of your dish.
I would try to match the wine with the filet (when you say "with..., to me that means the filet is the star of the dish). So, I would think of a claret
The rockfish wrapped in bacon is tough because of the salty profile. I might try a Chianti. (Yes, Mr. Bond, the red kind.) The other idea would be a totally untrendy, these days, oaky chardonnay.
For the hamburger/crab/mayo I would think of a Rioja. A crianza, though. Hamburgers are fun and casual, I would not suggest getting carried away with a reserve wine.
- Reply by ScottLauraH, Sep 21, 2011.
EMark, I think the Chianti is a great suggestion for the rockfish. I had also thought about a RRV Pinot.
The last time I had the filet topped with crab imperial, I matched the wine to the filet, and it totally overpowered the crab. I think sometime soon I want to really play around with that pairing.
With the burger, I have also thought it would be good with the Beujolais Nouveau, when it comes out. Maybe also a light tuscana rosso.
- Reply by EMark, Sep 21, 2011.
This afternoon I was driving the freeways to a meeting and your question popped into my mind. I do agree with your idea of a Beaujoais Nouveau (if you are going to do this in November), but the other thing I thought of would be good for a summer backyard/patio meal with the burgers--rose. I am not a rose guru, but it seems to me that it might work for you
- Reply by napagirl68, Sep 22, 2011.
Rockfish wrapped in bacon: Syrah from cool sonoma area... RRV or sonoma coast: Balletto Vineyads recommend.. RRV Pinot... Dutton for sure. But for a white..skip. The bacon will overwhelm the fish. A bit chard might work, but is not ideal
- Reply by ScottLauraH, Sep 22, 2011.
@Napagirl, a Sonoma Syrah might be really great! That's why I love posting these pairing questions... so I get new ideas.
@EMark, I think a rose might also work well with the burger.
- Reply by cosmoscaf, Sep 22, 2011.
Filet with crab imperial: a dry Alsatian Riesling.
rockfish wrapped w/bacon w/fingerling potatoes, roasted: the Chianti suggestion sounds very good, but the Sonoma Coast Syrah sings about rockfish
Hamburger with lump crab and mayo: Rosé, very dry, Toad Hollow's Eye of the Toad.
- Reply by Richard Foxall, Sep 27, 2011.
Okay, I'm a little late weighing in, but we just did a tri-tip and white fish with tomato water and olives back at the end of August. The white fish (true cod, this time) was recommended by winemaker Steve Mclaren to go with his Sonoma County Syrah. We blind tasted that with a St. Joseph that was his benchmark and it went off fantastically. For the fish and meat meal, I really like cool weather Syrah.
But the crab on the burger is a slightly different story, and I might lean toward that rose recommendation. A Tavel, which is a bit stronger. I had a rose of pinot noir from Coelho that would have done the trick. Or one from Spain, like the Chivite, which is just such a great deal at $10 or so. The Beaujolais in the fall is a nice call, too, but at the end of the summer or during Indian Summer, I like the rose idea.
Next time I'm down there in the middle Atlantic, let's try a few of these out!
- Reply by ScottLauraH, Sep 28, 2011.
Foxall, that would be a lot of fun.
My husband's birthday is in a few weeks, and one of his favorite meals is the filet topped with crab imperial, so I will be testing this pairing very soon. I really think I'm going to try it with a Syrah. I have several great options in the store to choose from.
As for the rockfish, I will wait to try that until the first catch of the season comes back in late November or early December. The rock likes the Rappahannock to nice and cold before they start coming around.
- Reply by Richard Foxall, Sep 28, 2011.
Here is the recipe I used for the fish with tomato water recipe. I used oil cured olives and it just rocked. Definitely a recipe for a slightly harder edged northern Rhone or cooler weather Syrah like the MacLaren Syrah (he sources from a couple places that aren't usually associated with cooler weather, but he is very careful that they have the profile he wants for his St. Joseph like wines). Lots of other good choices, and NG is probably your go to for Sonoma Syrah these days. I'd consider a Pisoni or Roar Syrah from Sant Lucia HIghlands, as well, or one made from their grapes, although I have little experience with them, but I know the area well, and have a bunch of the pinots from down there. Novy, the Syrah label of Adam Lee (Siduri Pinot) makes syrah from their grapes and they can be found on the web.

In 2013, the rapid growth of Chinese automobile market effectively boosted the demand for aluminum heat transfer composites to 510,600 tons.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
Aluminum heat transfer composites are mainly used in heat exchange systems of automobiles, home appliances, machinery and equipment as well as air-cooling systems of thermal power stations. In 2013, the global output of aluminum heat transfer composites reached about 134 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 72%. Affected by the global economic downturn and China's economic slowdown, the downstream demand for machinery, equipment, power stations, home appliances, etc. declined, resulting in the sluggish demand for aluminum heat transfer composites, with a growth rate of only 69% in 2013.
China is a major consumer of aluminum heat transfer composites in the world. In 2013, the rapid growth of Chinese automobile market effectively boosted the demand for aluminum heat transfer composites to 510,600 tons. Driven by Chinese automotive light-weighting, machinery and equipment, household appliances and other industries, China's demand for aluminum heat transfer composites will continue to grow in the coming years.
Complete report is available @ http://www.chinamarketresearchreports.com/114733.html .
The report focuses on the following aspects:
- Market supply and demand, market competition and development trends of the global aluminum heat transfer composites industry;
- Supply and demand, market competition patterns and development trends of China aluminum heat transfer composites industry;
- Demand of major Chinese aluminum heat transfer composites downstream industries;
- Operation and Chinese business of 7 global aluminum heat transfer composites manufacturing enterprises;
- Operation and development of 14 Chinese aluminum heat transfer composites manufacturing enterprises
On a global basis, the aluminum heat transfer composites market is monopolized by several large corporations from the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, etc. With the rapid development of China automobile industry, foreign enterprises have set up factories in China. Subject to technical constraints and other reasons, Chinese companies started late, only a few companies such as Yinbang, Huafon Group and Northeast Light Alloy develop stably.
Yinbang, as one of Chinese leaders in aluminum heat transfer composites, has increased investment in scientific research in recent years and successfully developed high-value-added products such as aluminum alloy composites and aluminum steel composite strips. In 2012, the company went public on A-share stock exchange and used the raised funds to build a laminated metal composites expansion project which is expected to go into operation in 2016 when the company's total aluminum heat transfer composites capacity may hit 200 kt/a.
Huafon Nikkei Aluminium Corporation produces aluminum alloy heat transfer composites (sheets, strips, foils). The company was formerly know as Huafon Aluminum Co, Ltd whose shares were bought by Nippon Light Metal Co, Ltd in November 2012. Currently, the company is constructing Civil Air Conditioner Aluminum Alloy Composites Project Phase II with annual capacity of 50,000 tons; upon completion, the company's aluminum heat transfer composites capacity will attain 130 kt/a.

Mojang finally hiring more people to work on Minecraft
In the nearly three years Notch has been developing Minecraft, hires what is now his development company, Mojang, have been few and far between. The lack of hires certainly wasn't need-based (or lack-of-need-based). It's pretty easy to make the case that Minecraft has been in need of more developers for at least the past year. There is still no modding API, despite the fact that Minecraft enjoys one of the most active modding communities in the world. The game still feels like a bit of a fragmented mess. All of this could be solved with more manpower. Yeah, I said it. All they needed were a couple warm bodies with a basic knowledge of java.
Well they finally picked some, and it just so happens to be the fine folks at Bukkit. For those that don't know, the Bukkit team produced an alternate version of the Minecraft server code that was more stable than the original, had a modding API, and required fewer resources to run. Luckily for the four fellows who ran the project, the Bukkit team won't be working for free any longer. They've officially joined the Mojang team.
Their first project will be to write a brand new API. Now, I don't claim to be a programmer, but I can only imagine one good reason to do this: Mojang didn't want to pay for Bukkit. I have nothing but respect for the Bukkit guys. They started on a project for fun, they kept it going after it grew into something huge, and now they're reaping rewards. Without knowing the details of their employment agreement, I think they're getting the short end of the stick, and unfortunately so are we.
Again, I don't know exactly what I'm talking about here, but I would imagine there's a legal case for Mojang to say hey, stop doing that to our code or we will sue you. There certainly would be if Bukkit tried to sell their server package. As such, Mojang doesn't really owe the guys at Bukkit anything. Wouldn't it suck, though, to be such an integral part of the Minecraft community–as in, so big that you're essentially synonymous with multiplayer gameplay–and be compensated with just a job offer? I know, job offers are hard to come by right now, but the guys at Bukkit have done more for multiplayer than anyone else, including Mojang. All of the notable multiplayer Minecraft servers run Bukkit. Now they'll be forced to migrate to the new API developed in-house with Mojang.
I'm hopeful that the new API will be pretty much the work of those four guys, because I stopped trusting Mojang to build one a long time ago. The Bukkit guys certainly know what they're doing and, who knows, maybe starting from scratch will be nice for them. It won't be nice for players, though. Certainly not in the short term. Yes, they've pledged support through 1.2, but the transition probably won't be super slick, to say nothing of the additional wait time we now have for development of this new API. For being a "released game," Minecraft is in critical flux an awful lot.
Seriously though, congrats to the guys at Bukkit. You deserve all of your success.

What is this this?
I woke up this morning and got out of bed. My first thought was "how much to do I weigh?" that is a new thought. It is usually "I don't want to weigh myself!" I am down another pound.
I am having some new thoughts about food. Yesterday I went to Taco Bell and instead of ordering my usual I ordered a (single) taco and a (single) burrito. I blessed the food and I said a couple of affirmations about how the food was good for me and not fattening.
At dinner time I invited a friend over and we got Greek food. I actually didn't finish everything on my plate which is unheard of. Again I blessed the food and said a quick affirmation. I even had ice cream bar. Later on in the evening I went to the kitchen for a snack, more out of habit than real hunger, I stood in front of the fridge and nothing called to me. I ended up having a small handful of walnuts and I was satisfied. What is this? A change in perception about food? Yes indeedy my world is shifting on its axis and I am a very happy camper.
My change in perception about food and saying these affirmations is working. I found that over the past few days I have not obsessed about food. I feel like my mind is a bit more clear, not so much about internalizing but looking out and looking forward. I thought these affirmations, blessings and forgiveness actions would take more time to work, but results have been immediate. I am a very, very happy camper.

Could Perlmonks be used as a reference?by thatguy (Parson)
|on Jul 06, 2001 at 10:33 UTC ( #94395=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
It's pretty safe to assume that these folks *really* know what they are doing. They are at higher status and are proven to be capable of providing good perl code/advice because of the code/advice they have given. They have a respectability from new and existing users because of the work involved in attaining such a high ranking. It's not automatic, it's earned
Is it possible that a non-Perlmonks user could trust this information and use it as a reference for perl knowledge and experience? If so, how should they relate each level to a level of mastery of perl?
For example, if I were a high level, could I use PM as a reference of sorts with an employer to verify my experience with perl?

Last season for the Chicago Bulls, there were many guys that had to step up in absence of their fearless leader, Derrick Rose. Nobody really gave Chicago a shot to make the playoffs – or advance past the first round – without the former NBA MVP. But, that's exactly what they did.
One of the biggest surprises was that of the emergence of swingman Jimmy Butler. Coming into last season, he hadn't played a whole lot due to him being a rookie in 2011 and the Bulls having a much deeper bench than they did in 2012. However, the second year pro showed up in a big way especially down the stretch.
Butler stepped in towards the end of the season and started at the shooting guard position instead of Richard Hamilton, who had found himself in head coach Tom Thibodeau's dog house due to inconsistent play and constant nagging injuries.
All he did was take leaps and bounds on both ends of the court, helping his Bulls to not only make the playoffs but upset the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. His progress, offensively especially, was astounding. Confidence grew, shots began to fall more frequently and he attacked the basket aggressively.
Butler talked Wednesday on ESPN 1000's "Waddle and Silvy" show about his success and gave much of the credit to the injured superstar, Rose:
"He was a big part of the success I had later in the year because he was constantly telling me I've seen you do this, I've seen you make those shots, you take those shots. Every shot you take, think it's going in, think you're going to make it. When you have somebody like that on your side who is constantly building you up it makes it easier to go out and perform and do well."
If anything, it speaks volumes regarding Rose's influence on the team even though he did not appear in a game in 2012. Rose is still using his talents to teach and encourage his teammates. At a young age, that is a very good sign.
Butler's ceiling remains incredibly high heading into 2013 and beyond. The athletic and tenacious shooting guard expects to start next season and continue to see success:
"I do. I see myself as a part of this team," Butler said. "If that's the two, if that's the three, if that's defense, whatever my teams needs me to do that's what I'm going to be. It's not really putting numbers on it, just do what I can for this team."

Wet-Dry Tropical Climates (Aw)
Savanna Climate
The Savanna biome has a wet/dry climate. Its Köppen climate group is Aw. The Astands for a tropical climate, and the wfor a dry season in the winter.
In the savanna climate there is a distinct dry season, which is in the winter. Savannas get all their rain in the summer months. During the distinct dry season of a savanna, most of the plants shrivel up and die. Some rivers and streams dry up. Most of the animals migrate to find food.
In the wet season all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely. The animals migrate back to graze. In West Africa the rainy season begins in May.
It is usually cooler during the dry season by a few degrees. Because it is in the tropical latitudes that is still hot enough. The savanna climate has a temperature range of 68° to 86° F (20° - 30° C). In the winter, it is usually about 68° to 78° F (20° - 25° C). In the summer the temperature ranges from 78° to 86° F (25° - 30° C). In a Savanna the temperature does not change a lot. When it does, its very gradual and not drastic.
There is an annual precipitation of 10 to 30 inches (100 to 150 cm) of rain. From December to February hardly any rain falls at all.

by Richard Napowotuk of St. Lawrence Island, North Bering Sea
Authentic Alaska Native Eskimo handicraft. It was carved and significantly transformed from marine mammal walrus ivory into Authentic Alaska Native Eskimo handicraft and signed by Alaska Native Eskimo artist Richard Napowotuk.
This beautiful walrus was carved from an ivory tusk of a walrus by Richard Napowotuk of Gambell, Alaska, a small Siberian Yup'ik Eskimo village of about 700 people on St. Lawrence Island, just south of the Bering Straits. Their language is spoken on both the U.S. and Russian side of the straits. It's about 140 miles off shore from Nome Alaska, and about 40 miles from Russia. On a clear day (which is rare) you can see the mountains of Russia.
Richard has carved for many years and is a master carver. He carves from ivory tusks of walrus, walrus bone and whalebone, and trims them with baleen from Bowhead whales. Much walrus ivory, walrus bone and whalebone are either dug up or found washed up on beaches after storms (see "about Me page"). Carving is a rich tradition for the Native Alaskan people on St. Lawrence Island, it helps sustain their proud ancient culture and way of life in a very remote and harsh area.
Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus, meaning tooth walker), or "Ayveq" - which is walrus in the Siberian Yup'ik language. This beautiful walrus was carved from an ivory tusk of a walrus. The center of the walrus tusk is a rich light golden/yellow color with a mottled texture while the outer portions are a smooth cream and pure white. This walrus is very rich in texture and color. The rich mottled yellowish/gold center of the tusk can be seen in the upper part of the body and head. The outer cream surrounds the center and the pure white can be seen very faintly on the shoulders. The eyes are inlaid baleen, a fibrous black material found in the mouth of Bowhead whales, they strain food through it. The tusks are not inlaid, it was carved from a single piece of ivory. This walrus is in a hauled out position or "nunavak" in the Yup'ik language.
In the Siberian Yup'ik culture the walrus was a source of food, tools and material for artwork and trading. The female hides were stretched over driftwood to make their boats called "umiaks". Walrus were generally hunted from "umiaks". Walrus will defend themselves and the herd will come to rescue a hunted walrus. Individual walrus were driven ashore with the aid of a baleen clapper, or flat piece of baleen they would slap the ocean surface with, which sounded like an Orca (Killer Whale), the enemy of the walrus. The walrus would seek land, where the hunters waited. The walrus is considered a bringer of good luck and happiness.
Care of ivory includes avoiding hot dry locations, such as direct sun in a window or a heat register. Give it an occasional very light coating of baby oil or mineral oil, put it on a cloth first or a Q-tip, avoid an acid based oil such as lemon oil. Remember, our pet dogs, cats and birds also like ivory!
Richard signed the bottom. The piece measures 2 3/8 inches long, a 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 7/8 inches high. This is a real fine piece and would make a great addition to a collection or a real unique gift from one of the most remote areas of the U.S.

Michael Jackson Death Has Pharmacists Fielding Questions
The buzz surrounding Michael Jackson's death has pervaded the public consciousness in a profound way, going beyond mere sadness over the loss of an icon. As questions abound surrounding prescription drugs as a possible cause of death, some pharmacists have found that they are fielding a greater number of questions regarding the risks involved with prescription pain medications, according to the results of a July 1 survey from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).Aug 4, '09Well Good! You dont have to be in healthcare long to realize that not only is that public severly under-educated about their health, Many in my opinion are uninterested in learning! Whats sad about this is that the public doesnt consider that while doctors and nurses can and do treat them ...it takes work and compliance on the part of the patient to achieve optimal health outcomes! This requires education.
Personally I am sickened as a medical professional about what happened to MJ--on the part of the doctors and the family. Sure the family tried some interventions later in the 2000's but where the heck were these people to step in and help him back in the 80's? I believe that this addiction went on ever since his burn in the pepsi commercial. Of course Michael Jackson is responsible for this too...I feel he was manipulated in his addicted state by people who wanted his money.

The IBC was discontinued beginning with the 2014-15 catalog. Students who began the certificate prior to 2014-15 will be allowed to complete the program.
As the world of business becomes increasingly more global, the need for international exposure and cultural intelligence increases. An International Business Certificate (IBC) provides experience in these areas and offers individuals a competitive edge in the marketplace. The IBC program provides opportunities to gain expertise in business decision-making in an international environment, to interact with globally connected students and businesses in the US and abroad, and to experience foreign cultures. Program coursework focuses on the principles and processes of export sales, trade controls, foreign operations, monetary concerns, international businesspolicy, and applications to doing business in specific countries and markets.
Production, services, employment, consumption, and politics are internationally integrated in our economy. College graduates who are expected to compete in this environment may be at a disadvantage if they have no knowledge of key aspects of the international marketplace. While the core courses of a degree in Business Administration have evolved to include international aspects in their respective areas, increased globalization has created a strong demand for students who are well-versed in global markets and practices. The IBC answers this need.
Specific program objectives include:
- Prepare students to consider business decision-making in an international environment.
- Provide multiple opportunities for students to interact with international students and businesses here and abroad through active student exchange programs and guided international study tours.
- Enhance student understanding of foreign cultures, ideas, and belief systems.
The International Business Certificate combines internationally-focused course work from a number of disciplines (Business, Communication, Economics, Foreign Language, Geography, and Sociology) with an opportunity to study abroad. The certificate requires the completion of 36 credit hours. Coursework is broken into 20 credits of core courses and 4 "Global Units" equivalent to 16 elective credit hours (1 global unit = 4 credit hours). Global units may be earned by participating in an international exchange, completing an internship in an international business or in the Office of International Programs, participating in an international business conference, and/or taking related elective courses.
The International Business Certificate is open to undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students. All courses taken for the IBC must be completed with a minimum grade of "C," while the overall minimum program GPA has been set at 2.5. The Certificate will be awarded to undergraduate students meeting its requirements along with the requirements for a Bachelor's degree at Southern Oregon University. Post baccalaureate students may earn the Certificate by completing the program's credit requirements.

Dr. Curt Bacon

Most TCP/IP protocols that use the internet message format, organized around a network virtual terminal (NVT ASCII, text-oriented bodies ... predecessors of HTTP, protocols accessible via telnet and a host-port pair), are designed for command-response interactions, where the command may be large or small, and the response may be large or small. They aren't inherently RESTful because they weren't designed to be, and very often the commands are "anti" RESTful (the silly acronymic flip response above contains at least one bit of truth: it isn't "REST versus RPC", it's "REST versus every other networking paradigm"). If someone wishes to offer a set of verbs, explaining how an interface can be built (independently of an underlying protocol) to use particular facilities that these verbs express, and can show that this information is *necessary* to construction of such an abstract implementation from an abstract description, *and* can then show that there really is a protocol out there other than HTTP on which this stuff works, then I'll be convinced. Otherwise, it looks like stuffing HTTP into the interface.

And there I disagree profoundly. *shrug* I haven't seen what information in these verbs is necessary to an interface, or what capability they enable that isn't otherwise expressible, or how they can be used outside HTTP.

Her first year away is turning out to be nearly perfect, but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything.
Eighteen-year-old Harper has grown up under the thumb of her career marine father. Ready to live life her own way and to experience things she's only ever heard of from the jarheads in her father's unit, she's on her way to college at San Diego State University.
Thanks to her new roommate, Harper is introduced to a world of parties, gorgeous guys, family, and emotions. She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with both her new boyfriend, Brandon, and her roommate's brother, Chase. Despite their dangerous looks and histories, both men adore Harper and would do anything for her, including taking a step back if it would mean she'd be happy.
©2012 Molly Jester (P)2014 HarperCollinsPublishers
"Wasn't expecting all of that!!"
Wow....what a story and I wasn't expecting a lot of what went on in this!
Obviously we know there is a love triangle, the cover is a dead giveaway, going from over protected to being free, I myself was torn between the two guys, I wanted her to be with one, then the other, so it was no surprise that she was conflicted. I would have rather she had both especially rather than what happened.
I was bawling through this, crying my freaking eyes out while someone is reading to me, I guess at least i didn't have to hold a book while i wiped my eyes. I broke.... really broke. I loved that the author did this, may sound strange, but I love to be made to cry and feel and this did that at that point.
Her Dad, jeez rocket and his ass sprung to mind. But she found her family, her mother figure and that warmed my heart.
A little longwinded in parts, but that is my opinion and may be different if i had read it as i read faster.
Can't wait to read / listen to more from Molly....
this was the best love triangle book I ever read
But I little vex at chapter 13 . How could you killed the best character beside from Brandon .
this book was great I enjoyed reading it . wish there was a next one like it but no deaths that time.
This story dripped with cheese. I just felt like there were way too many times when I rolled my eyes at the character/author. It was incredibly predictable, with one major exception. I couldn't seem to wrap my brain around the desire every man had to be with Harper. I just wasn't convinced she was the bees knees. I read through about 60% and then skimmed the rest. It just wasn't worth my time, and since it was an audio book, it was a lot more time. Disappointed .
"SO frustrating and disappointing"
I found this book to be terrible. I initially enjoyed the story and got quite into it. however I fairly quickly got annoyed with the protagonist Harper. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so nuts about her. I found there to be so much extra scenes and information that didn't add to the overall story. The time jumps could be jarring and make me go wtf. I found so much of the story cheesy and totally unrealistic. I rolled my eyes a lot and am haven't been able to finish the last quarter of the book as it's just too ridiculous. The narrator is great though.
"what words..."
absolutely LOVED the first 60% of this book. SO SO SO good till the climax & then it just kind of went MEH...STILL GOOD but lost it's 5th star. After the climax it just got a little slow and there were some things that really annoyed me that I can't say without giving anything away.
I loved Brandon, LOVED Chase! I wanted to smack Harper several times throughout the book.
I laughed, bawled my eyes out, got a little bored but ultimately loved this book
"Fantastic book!"
Wow, what a fantastic book! I just finished reading this over a 2 day time period. I had to stop because I was crying so much! This book is so loving and touching. It is filled with so much raw emotions too. The narrator is freaking fantastic to top it off! I fell like I just finished a movie, it was that good!
This book is about a young woman (Harper) who was raised by a bunch of marines as she sets off for college. There she meets two great guys (Brandon and Chase) and falls in love with both of them. What is a girl to do? It turns out, the two guys are friends too. Read along as Harper is romanced by both Brandon and Chase and not in the way it sounds. Make sure you have a BIG box of tissues! Every girl needs to be loved and cherished like this!
The author, Molly McAdams did a fantastic job writing this book. The plot is great. The suspense and love is amazing! I can only imagine the author crying as she wrote this book too. The narrator, Anadelle Waters is just freaking awesome in her delivery of this story! All the voices and accents AND emotions she delivers as she reads this story to us. It felt so real!!! All I can say is thank you for such a great read!
Just as Good!
This punched me in the gut! Took a turn I didn't see coming
She was fine
Young Love
"one of the best"
OMG......I couldn't put it down. I loved the story line and all the players in it. The way I judge a book....if it makes me laugh out loud, it's good but it have me in tears, it's a keeper. Well damn it did BOTH. I have listened to it twice. loved it.
I love this book. Fantastic plot, likable characters, and excellent narration all combined your listening pleasure!
loved this book . I halve both read and listened its amazing and worth every cent
I am in love with this book! Molly McAdams is an amazing author I love her work and I have read this book many times on my own but wanted to buy the audible so I could listen to the book on the way to work, at work, and on the way home.
Chase is my favorite character and you will just have to read the book to know why :)
She did okay I felt like her voice was a little mono-toned
Chase again you will have to read the book to see :)
"Not as bad as some people made it out to be!"
Yes, a lot of the storyline was predictable, but I still enjoyed the ride. I was engaged enough to laugh and cry with the characters appropriately. Remember , it's a fictional story so you are allowed to stretch your boundaries of belief with what some people are willing to do for others. It's called using your imagination! It's also what makes books in general such a pleasure to read. It makes you think about something differently and maybe open you up to a new perspective on how to approach a situation.

Imperial, Pa. A project to build a $300 million indoor speedway that would seat 120,000 fans has been cleared by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA ruled this week the racetrack was among the construction projects that would have "no significant impact" on the environment surrounding Pittsburgh International Airport, about 15 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.
Bob Brant, president of Brant Motorsports in Morgantown, W.Va., plans to build the first indoor racetrack and lure NASCAR to western Pennsylvania. The mile speedway would be built inside a 2.6-million-square-foot building next to the airport.
Brant has said he has 80 percent of the money needed to build the privately financed track.
He is marketing the track as a year-round facility that could be used for car and truck racing, driving schools and testing of new cars.
