A field trip to reWine Barrels in Salem
I bought a rehabbed barrel from reWine for the 2009 harvest and I'm buying another one for 2010. I like the idea of recycling barrels. As Todd says emphatically, it doesn't make sense to cut down seriously old French oak trees to make barrels that you use for a few years and turn into planters. Renewing those barrels makes sense. Plus, I like the results I've seen. And the cost doesn't hurt. Rehabbed barrels aren't the same as new barrels, but they're pretty close and cost only a fraction of new wood.
Todd and Trent talked a lot about the process and how they got started in 2009 combining Todd's knowledge of wood and machinery and Trent's experience with the wine industry. We talked about other barrel refurbishers out there who crank out more barrels per day and apparently don't spend nearly the time reWine does in toasting like a new barrel cooper does. reWine's trying to do things differently.
This operation is obviously still very new but already it's impressive to see several local producers buying the product, or bringing their own barrels to get rehabbed like I did this time with my Siruge. It's a bit less expensive to do that. What impresses me most is the wholehearted commitment of Todd and Trent to their work. Todd's fanatic about the process. Trent's all about building long term relationships and making sure reWine is doing everything right to produce excellent barrels. These are people I'm glad to know and do business with. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks guys for the great visit.

I'm not a winemaker but this seems cool to me. I would be curious to know just how these are considered inferior to truly new barrels. My guess would be the answer to that is an answer that doesn't bother me at all and I may even consider a virtue. If they don't deliver the full dose of oak a new barrel would, I think that's
probably a good thing in reality anyway.

ned, good question. I'm not into oak flavor so much either. The real goal of barrel aging is the curing aspect it gives to the wine. Barrels are most pourous when new. As they age, they become less so. A rehabbed barrel doesn't bring things back to "new," so that's different than an actual new barrel. I'm not sure which is preferable, but that's a different. Also, the toast level and quality in a rehabbed barrel is different from the original cooper. One place where reWine will continue to advance is quality and consistency of toasting the barrels. It's an art.
Great write up Vincent, thanks! I have also been intrigued with the possibility of refurbished barrels for many reasons (cost, as you mentioned, environmentally friendly/sustainable, possibly less oak influence on the wine, etc). The pictures and info you provided is greatly appreciated!

Since I only drink the wine its pretty cool to see the tasks of a maker. Thanks for the education and sharing the experience.

Tom, that's exactly what I'm looking for with this blog. Education and sharing the wine experience. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I am a local (Portland) craftsman and had the pleasure of visiting reWine where Todd was gracious enough to give me a one-on-one tour of his facility and their process of reworking barrels! First off, Todd is a genius! His expertise in woodworking and ingenuity for mechanical engineering is amazing. I was only expecting to pick up a load of wine barrels damaged in the 2014 Napa Valley earthquake that were no longer suitable for their intended purpose of aging wine or spirits. But I got so much more on my field trip. Becoming acquainted with Todd and learning what it takes to cooper a barrel was a real eye opener and I cannot wait to return as I receive more orders for my custom salvage barrel furniture and functional decor. You can see my work on my little website at 4Rnorthwest.com and follow my work more up to date on Instagram @4rnorthwest. A very big thank you to Todd for his services and providing me a green, responsibly harvested material that fits my work philosophy so well it's in our business name! Recycle, Reclaim, Repurpose, Reuse. 4R Northwest. For our Northwest!

Forever "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc has put an unfurnished house in the Pacific Palisades up for lease at $12,995 a month.
The 1930s Spanish-style home features a step-down living room, a paneled dining room, a library/den, an updated kitchen, four bedrooms, 41/2 bathrooms and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space in two stories. Architectural details include beamed ceilings, wood floors and original fixtures, ironwork and tile. The half-acre tree-filled lot has canyon views.
LeBlanc, 45, played Joey Tribbiani starting in 1994 in the decade-long ensemble series and a spinoff called "Joey" from 2004-06. He has starred in "Episodes" since last year.
No doubt his real estate agent, David Offer of Prudential California Realty in Brentwood, or a property manager will handle the day-to-day landlording details. LeBlanc spends his working hours in London shooting the comedy series even though it is set in L.A.
Public records show he bought the property in late 2006 for $7.4 million. LeBlanc leased it out in 2008 and 2010 at $12,000 a month.

Who needs them. They all have no money.
greece got bailed out didn't they ?
Being bailed out doesn't really mean anything. They still have a 60% unemployment rate among the target audience, which would be young adults.
lol why would Microsoft even bother with Japan.

That's Canada now apparently. I couldn't even be bothered to count how many times Vancouver/Montreal were mentioned so far at E3. Plus Bioware is here in Edmonton. Well, at least the world sees us as good for something.
That and we have Rush and Neil Young.
Nintendo aint even impressed with the Kinect
cos nintendo wanted to do it on the wii 3...
I sincerely hope that it's true. I love a good train wreak.
While single Microsoft employees might revert to such tactics out of their very own despair, it's completely bogus as a company strategy. I readily believe Microsoft tried to buy out publishers to not show their PS4 games at E3. I readily believe the reports that they're flooding reddit with myriads of pro Xbox One comments as part of their damage control strategy.
I don't believe they're giving orders to employees at E3 to troll Nintendo. The Neogaf forum "evidence" is spotty at best.
Microsoft please just stop....you've already made asses of yourselves as is. Here's some reasons people bother with Wii U and not Xbox Zero.
It has Mario,Zelda and others
No always online bullcrap
Plays pre owned games
Plays Wii games and up scales them.
You can trade games in
You can lend games to friends
You can bring games to friends houses without being online every hour.
Enough reasons Microsoft? I really hope Xbox One fails. How dare you go to other companies' game booths and try to dismiss the good console for the piece of shit you're trying to sell. Microsoft you derserve to fail.

Hey, it's not like you'd want to have the console.
Hey, it's not like you'd want to have the console.
Yeah but still its a big disrespect to all the nations that arent included and the xbox one is a spit in the face of gamers and i hope they only sell 5 consoles and those 5 people are all from microsoft
I'm still pissed off that Microsoft actually went to a Nintendo event and bad mouthed Wii U and tried to get everyone to come play their good for nothing piece of shit excuse for a console. Microsoft let me tell you something right here and now. Wii U will always be better than Xbox One. You try to rip people off. Basically make it so people don't actually buy a game and just the license to play a game. You bring one of the biggest mistakes from Games called always online DRM because it failed on 2 games that used it (Sim City & Diablo 3) and base a whole console around it and you think you have any right to go and bad mouth any console.
Microsoft you've made asses of yourselves. I know it may not be true but with the recent rumors regarding Microsoft and what they've done so far, I believe its very possible for them to be doing this. That's all i think of saying.....except this......How dare they....How dare you go to someone else's event which has nothing to do with you in the slightest and then you sit and insult and bad mouth? Microsoft, Xbox One is the one that deserves to be bad mouthed and it should for extremely good reason. The console is making all the mistakes. Microsoft is rumored to be trying the lowest ways to try and make Xbox One look even a tiny little bit good and if its true then i feel Xbox One should fail.
The core problem here, and the one that analysts and critics trying to sound smart will happily point out, is that Microsoft is putting companies above consumers, which is the exact opposite of how this industry needs to be.
Almost every single 'innovation' that the XBone has is designed to benefit the publishers and punish the individual customers. And the end result is that, outside of the fanboys who will refuse to listen to any well-argued criticism against their beloved Micro$$$oft or teh Haloz, people will abandon this anti-consumer console and instead purchase one that is not only pro-consumer (or at least, is perceived to be pro-consumer) but also cheaper. Sounds obvious, but people DO speak with their wallets.
I could run down every single stupid, pro-publisher feature of the XBone, but I don't need to because everyone else has already done it and at the end of the day, I can sum up the entire situation with one simple statement.
People buy video game consoles... to play video games. Anything that gets between people and those games is going to be despised. And that's why the XBone fails. It gets between YOU... and the game.
(Those asterisks are actually what happened when I typed Microsoft with a $. ********** See? And yet, you can use three $ and it works fine. Weird...)
Wow. That's really optimistic. Unless they're going to release an Xbox None or something where they remove all the bullshit, I'll be surprised if they can even match the Xbox 360 numbers, let alone hit a billion.
**********. Really?
EDIT:Oh.... k
I don't know what Microsoft have been smoking lately but seriously - someone send them to rehab!
I think Microsoft is speaking one load of shit. I would say they would be lucky if they could get up to the number of the 360. What's worse is that what happens when the fanboys find out about the bs for themselves?
A billion units is like saying 1 unit per every 7 people on the entire planet.
I've taken an Intro to Marketing class in college, and you can't just assume you'll strike it rich by saying your target market is everybody. You have to provide your product or service with a particular demographic in mind.
You can't claim to target both middle-class American households with TV-integration and Generations X and Y's gamers by offering Halo and Call of Duty at the same time, when the price point is nowhere near reasonable for said households and the game DRM restrictions are nowhere near appealing for said gamers.
In other words, there are name-brand TV tuners and home theatre setups which are cheaper than the XBone; and there are games on PS4 which are either exactly the same game or else highly similar which do not restrict the gamer like the XBone does.
So, by targeting everybody at the same time they are in fact targeting nobody at all.
Yeah I think the only market they are trying to appeal to is the asshole Cod players who bad mouth people online then get their asses kicked. I think we got all the proof of that from them playing Killer Instint during the press conference.
Darth Marsden wrote: »That's absurd. The current generation hasn't even reached half a billion, why the hell do they think the next-gen will reach a whole one?

Especially when they lower the amount of countries that CAN buy and user their next brick. How does that work? Less potential customers but more units sold. Someone needs to slap them.
Oh Microsoft. Just let it happen. It will be over soon enough. *rape*
and not only are they limiting what countries can use the console, but also what stores that can sell games. I'd be surprised if the Vintage Stock or GameXchange in town would be able to trade in XBone games.
So... heavily limited global customer base for the console; heavily limited access to used/discounted game sale locations; highest price point of any console or TV tuner... and they think it will break all possible sales records?
Seriously what are they smoking!? Are they all having a collective psychotic episode.
you know, it occurs to me that the shelf life of a bag of Doritos or a can of Mt Dew is probably longer than the lifespan of the console (as a console and not a brick.)

It would be funnier if the majority of the entries were people detailing just how much they want those Doritos.

Kenan Thompson is fed up with having to wear a dress on "Saturday Night Live."
A 10-year veteran of NBC's sketch comedy show, Thompson has donned drag to play characters such as Maya Angelou, Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey. And it's not just because he thinks he looks good in a skirt. The current incarnation of "SNL" has no black female cast members — a lack of diverstiy that another cast member, Jay Pharoah, has already complained about this season. So guys have had to step in to the high heels.
But now Thompson says enough.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
When asked how "SNL" would lampoon newsmaking black women, Thomspon told TV Guide: "I don't know. We just haven't done them. That's what I'm saying. Maybe [Pharaoh] will do it or something, but even he doesn't really want to do it."
But unlike Pharoah — who urged producers to hire Darmirra Brunson for the ensemble — Thompson puts the onus on black female performers.
"It's just a tough part of the business," he was quoted as saying. ""Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready."
The show added six performers to the cast this season, but they are all white.
What do you think of Thompson's comments? Is he right that black female performers just aren't ready? How do you think diversity or the lack of it affects "SNL"?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While visiting Turkey on Monday, US Secretary of State John Kerry compared the deaths of nine Turkish nationals in the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid to those killed in the recent Boston Marathon bombing. By extension, Kerry was comparing the Israeli military to terrorists.
Speaking in Istanbul, Kerry said that after what Americans had gone through in Boston last week, "I have deep feelings for what happens when you have violence, when something that happens when you lose people that are near and dear to you. It affects the community; it affects the country."
The remark was made in the context of addressing the May 2010 Israeli interception of a Turkish-led flotilla attempting to break the maritime blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Kerry said he could understand the pain and frustration of the families of those aboard the flotilla's lead ship, the Mavi Marmara, nine of whom lost their lives after violently attacking the Israeli boarding party.
While Kerry likely didn't intend to draw moral equivalence between Israel's action and the Boston bombing, his remarks are another indication of how little Washington understands about the region.
Every Turk and Arab with animosity toward Israel will understand what Kerry said as support for Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's previous labeling of the Israeli raid as an act of piracy, and of Israel as a terrorist state. And that will only make rapprochement between the two sides more difficult.
At the urging of Kerry's boss, President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did apologize to Turkey earlier this month for "operational errors" that had possibly contributed to the deaths aboard the Mavi Marmara.
But, Israel has not apologized for the raid itself, which Jerusalem maintains was carried out in accordance with international law permitting the maritime blockade of territories with which a nation is at war. The UN itself later backed up Israel's version of events.
For Kerry to fail to address the legitimacy of the Israeli action, while comparing its aftermath with that of the a clear terrorist attack like the Boston bombing, is extremely problematic for Israel.
"It is never helpful when moral equivalence is made confusing terrorists with their victims," Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon told The Times of Israel in response to Kerry's remarks.
The Jerusalem Post quoted Labor Party MK Nachman Shai as saying that Kerry had "completely distorted reality and turned white into black and black into white. How can he make such a comparison? In Boston, terrorists killed civilians. On the Mavi Marmara ship, terrorists were killed."
It is little wonder that Kerry's diplomatic mission to the region aimed at rapprochement between Israel and Turkey and jump-starting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process has thus far failed to yield positive results.

Responding to growing concerns about its ability to monitor the side effects of vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided last week to separate its national immunization program, which advocates vaccination, from its vaccine safety branch, which monitors the potential risks of the vaccines.
The action comes at a time of increasing public outcry over the government's handling of drug safety issues. Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would create a board to advise it on drug complications and to warn patients about unsafe drugs.
Critics of the disease-control agency have argued for some time that the advocacy nature of its immunization program hinders its ability to monitor and investigate any adverse reactions to vaccines.
Much of the pressure has come from lawmakers and parents of autistic children, who are concerned about a possible link between rising rates of autism and a mercury preservative, thimerosal, once widely used in childhood vaccines. They have argued that the agency's dual role in promoting vaccines and overseeing their safety is a serious conflict of interest.
The decision to separate the offices was announced last Friday, a day after a panel of medical experts urged the agency to improve access to a database of patient information that is at the center of a dispute over whether vaccines can cause autism.Continue reading the main story
Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, the director of the agency, said that shifting the safety branch was intended to improve its "credibility and capability," and that the branch would now be led by Dr. Dixie E. Snider Jr., the agency's chief of science.
"We believe the best practice for the safety monitoring program is to keep it in a separate locus from the large-scale program," Dr. Gerberding said.
Representative Dave Weldon, Republican of Florida and a physician who has a strong interest in autism issues, called the move "a step in the right direction."
"You can't have an organization whose primary charge is getting kids vaccinated also have credibility in looking at side effects," Dr. Weldon said. "Their primary mission is getting lots of kids vaccinated. I don't think they should be the same people looking at safety."
But Dr. Paul Offit, who was a member of a federal advisory panel on immunization practices, said the idea that the agency would be less concerned about whether vaccines were safe than with seeing that every child received a shot was absurd.
"The notion has been that this is the fox guarding the henhouse," said Dr. Offit, who is also a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "That's not true. They care as much about vaccines being safe as they care about them working. They wouldn't recommend them unless they felt the benefits clearly outweighed the risks."
But Dr. Weldon and others say the agency has made it difficult to assess what those risks might be, particularly as they relate to autism.
Their concerns were echoed on Feb. 17 by a panel of medical experts assembled by the Institute of Medicine, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences. The committee recommended that the C.D.C. ease some restrictions on outside scientists who want to use its heavily guarded Vaccine Safety Datalink, which holds more than seven million medical records that the agency uses to monitor adverse reactions to vaccines.
Dr. Thomas Verstraeten, a former researcher at the agency, used the database to carry out a large study that was published in 2003. Many scientists have said the study shows no statistical link between thimerosal and autism.
But Dr. Weldon and the parent groups, through the Freedom of Information Act, later obtained an earlier draft of the study that had not been made public. The early findings did suggest a relationship between exposure to thimerosal and some developmental delays, and Dr. Weldon and the groups say the results were deliberately "watered down."
Two outside researchers, Dr. Mark Geier and his son, David Geier, who were expert witnesses for parents seeking damages from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, have fought for access to the database. The agency has been hesitant, fearing that doing so could violate the privacy of those whose medical histories are in it.
Dr. Stephen E. Fienberg, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and a member of the committee that weighed in on the dispute, suggested the Geiers be granted further access.
Now, outside researchers who want access must submit a proposal and obtain permission from the more than a half-dozen health maintenance organizations that provide the centers with their medical records. The report determined that the inquiry process should be streamlined, and listed steps the disease-control agency could follow to balance patient privacy with the need to open the database to some outside researchers.
Tom Skinner, a C.D.C. spokesman, said his agency would consider all of the committee's recommendations and work to carry them out.
"We're going to continue to deliberate on them as we strengthen our vaccine program," Mr. Skinner said. "All of this supports our desire to continue to place a high priority on vaccine safety."
The agency has come under fierce criticism for its handling of the preliminary findings from the 2003 Verstraeten study. Dr. Weldon has alleged wrongdoing, pointing to transcripts of a private meeting where agency staff members shared Dr. Verstraeten's findings with representatives of the vaccine industry, government officials and physicians.
The study's authors have argued that later phases of the study were intended to replicate earlier findings, but found no association between thimerosal and developmental delays. Numerous epidemiological studies conducted in Europe have also shown no link between autism and vaccines containing thimerosal.Continue reading the main story

debugmodeon needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
We need a logo for a new social network. This social network is
focused on developers, sysadmins, web developers, web designers etc.
debug_mode=ON is a social network. The users can submit articles, vote
them, add them to favourites,... The language of the web page is
spanish, but this is not very important for the logo :P. Users can
also create groups (about linux, web development,... anything related
to computers). Groups have forums and users can interact with each
others (add contacts, send internal messages,...)
It could be nice to have the O of ON like the Macintosh ON/OFF button.
You could maybe use typical typefaces of terminal/console.
We don't want any spanish symbol.

STARKSBORO — An unusual nature-and-arts-based preschool program is wrapping up a successful pilot year.
The Wren's Nest Preschool is a project of the Willowell Foundation and run by a mother-daughter team of educators. Katie and Karen McEachen of Bristol co-teach the weekly sessions, which are currently run out of Camp Common Ground in Starksboro.
"Willowell has been doing nature education for high schoolers for a decade, and they thought that a preschool would be a really nice sister program," Katie McEachen said in a recent interview.

Bills defensive end Mario Williams spent part of his offseason engaged in a fight with his ex-fiancée about the return of a $785,000 engagement ring.
Williams filed a lawsuit in an attempt to compel Erin Marzouki to return the ring, which led her to release text messages that featured Williams talking about taking prescription painkillers and suicidal thoughts. Williams said those messages were blown out of proportion and the case continues on.
Williams said Saturday that it isn't weighing too heavily on his mind as camp gets underway, however. Williams said several times that he was focused entirely on football and away from the distractions that plagued his offseason, a change that pleases him.
"Definitely," Williams said, via Joe Buscaglia of WGR550.com. "Everything that's happened has been unfortunate, but it is what it is and I can't let that distract me in any way with how big this is for this city and for the fans. And that's my mindset."
With the Bills shifting to a new scheme under defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Williams should continue to have plenty to keep his mind occupied in the weeks to come. He's expected to move around the defense a lot and come at the quarterback from a variety of angles in hopes of improving on last year's 10.5 sacks. Doing so won't get him the ring or the $785,000 back, but it might set the stage for a more pleasant offseason next time around.

The Laguna Beach Police Employees Assn. has raised enough money to design and build a public memorial dedicated to two fallen police officers.
Police Det. Larry Bammer, association president, announced at Tuesday's City Council meeting that the group had actually exceeded its fundraising goal.
The association raised $60,000 — $15,000 more than its goal – to complement the city's $10,000 contribution toward a memorial not to exceed $70,000. The council unanimously approved the $10,000 expenditure along with competition guidelines.
The association will work with the city Arts Commission on a design contest for a free-standing sculpture and seating where a planter currently sits near the Police Department entrance at 505 Forest Ave.
The memorial will be dedicated to officers Gordon French and Jon Coutchie, both of whom died on duty — in 1953 and 2013, respectively.
Laguna Beach artists will submit applications noting their related experience, and the commission will select up to three finalists, a city staff report said.
Each finalist will be awarded $300 to meet with a commission subcommittee and develop designs. Finalists will present their designs to the commission, which, along with the association, will recommend a project to the council.
The hope is to complete the installation by Sept. 1, the first anniversary of Coutchie's death.
Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. March 7 at http://www.lagunabeachcity.slideroom.com.
Rock'n Fish requests denied
A downtown restaurant cannot extend its hours for live, amplified music and dancing and must close its windows and doors when the tunes are playing.
The Laguna Beach City Council voted unanimously to uphold a Planning Commission decision to deny the changes requested by Rock'n Fish, 422 S. Coast Hwy.
Restaurant management wanted to extend the hours from midnight to 1 a.m. Sundays through Wednesdays and from midnight to 1:30 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, according to a city staff report.
Rock'n Fish also asked to eliminate a requirement that it keep its upper-level doors and windows closed when amplified music is playing.
The Planning Commission in December denied those two requests because Rock'n Fish did not provide a noise analysis. The commission, according to a staff report, could not determine whether music or noise would have adversely affected neighbors.
Commissioners did, however, agree to a request to relocate a dance floor to a more centralized area between the restaurant's bar and an existing seating area.
Police said they have not had any issues with the restaurant, though the department reported numerous noise complaints when the Laguna Beach Brewing Co. occupied the space.
Sam Goldstein, who owns the building, said Rock'n Fish management is trying to create nightlife downtown.
"We've had music in the same spot for three years, all amplified, and had no complaints," Goldstein said. "The windows and doors have been open since day one. Why are we all of a sudden having to deal with restrictions?"
Councilman Kelly Boyd said he didn't see the benefit in Rock'n Fish extending its hours.
"I think you're pushing the envelope, encouraging people to drink later at night," said Boyd, who used to own the Marine Room on Ocean Avenue. "If windows create a problem, I would say leave them open until the band plays, then close them."
Citing issues related to patrons leaving Mozambique, also on South Coast Highway, Councilwoman Toni Iseman said the affect on surrounding neighbors may be felt even after the music stops.
"The issue is not about the music," Iseman said. "I walked outside [of Mozambique] and heard nothing. The problem was people who left the restaurant after listening to loud music. Your personal amplifier and tone of voice goes up."
Live-work vote waits on Coastal Commission
In other business, the council unanimously voted to postpone hearing an appeal related to a 30-unit project that would create live-work spaces for artists in Laguna Canyon.
Council members delayed the vote until after the California Coastal Commission rules on changes it requested that the city make to the ordinance that allows the live-work residences.
Coastal commissioners could take up the matter as early as its March 12-14 meeting in Long Beach.

The UK mobile operator O2 has announced plans to stock the Huawei Ascend W1 in a recent presser. The Windows Phone has reared its head at CES 2013, and we've had the pleasure to view the device in more detail with some hands-on action. O2 has become a major partner for Microsoft in the UK with the network sporting an array of Windows Phones available for consumers. The Ascend W1 will join other handsets in stores early 2013.
Huawei stated last year that it would introduce Windows Phone 8 hardware to a number of markets and it appears as though 2013 will prove to be the year that the company expands into the ecosystem to combat Nokia, HTC and Samsung. Unfortunately details on the imminent UK launch aren't revealing much but we can expect to see the device receiving as much of the spotlight as other Windows Phones.
So what's packed inside the Ascend W1? It sports a dual-core 1.2Ghz processor, 1950mAh battery, 4" (800x480) display, 512MB of RAM, 5 MP camera, and 4GB storage (expandable to 32GB with a micro SD card), making the Windows Phone an entry level smartphone. What's more is that the device will be available in blue and pink. More details to follow.

Peabody Awards given to record 46 recipients
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The ABC drama "Scandal," Netflix's "House of Cards" and pair of news programs about concussions in the National Football League are among a record 46 recipients of Peabody Awards.
The winners were chosen by the board of the George Foster Peabody Awards at the University of Georgia as the "best in electronic media for 2013." They were announced Wednesday by Peabody Award-winning journalists Ira Glass and Charlayne Hunter-Gault on "CBS This Morning."
The PBS show "Frontline" won for "League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis" and ESPN's "Outside the Lines" won for its piece, "NFL at a Crossroads: Investigating a Health Crisis."
Broadcast news outlets receiving Peabody Awards included WBZ-TV and WBZ Newsradio in Boston for their extended coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings and the hunt for suspects. Also winning awards were KING-TV in Seattle, WTVF-TV in Nashville, and New Orleans outlets WVUE-TV, The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com.
Online award winners included the YouTube video "A Needed Response," which was created by two University of Oregon students to promote respect for women.
Internationally, winners included "Burka Avenger," an animated Pakistani series aimed at empowering girls.
"The quality of storytelling in electronic media continues to increase year-after-year, across platforms, producing organizations and nations," Jeffrey P. Jones, director of the Peabody Awards, said in a statement. "The unprecedented number of awards we gave this year reflects this fact."
The Peabody awards will be formally presented May 19 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Slipknot and Stone Sour Singer Corey Taylor Enjoys 'Catharsis' with New Book
Ever since he was a kid, Corey Taylor has wanted to write a book.
The Slipknot and Stone Sour front man finally fulfilled his dream with the recently released hardcover Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Goods (Da Capo Press).
"There was a definite sense of catharsis after I was all done, man," Taylor says about his anecdotal book addressing the so-called seven deadly sins. "You never realize how much you're kind of carrying with you until you just kind of set the record straight."
Taylor is on a book-signing tour that includes stops in Chicago on July 19 and West Hollywood, California, on July 20.
As for music projects, a Taylor solo album is "way on the back burner." But fans can look forward to some Stone Sour activity, starting with a live DVD shot in Brighton, England, that he says might be coupled with a covers EP. More information on that is expected in the next few months, he says.
"I can tell you that we're definitely starting to put some work into another Stone Sour album," Taylor adds. "This one will be a little bit of everything. … It's something that I'm really hoping we get to work on in the next six months."

O26 Weekly Awards: SMC, D.J. Balentine, Kyle Smith, Incarnate Word…Posted by Tommy Lemoine on December 16th, 2014
Throughout the season, the Other 26 microsite will run down our weekly superlatives, including team, player, coach and whatever else strikes our fancy in that week's edition.
O26 Team of the Week
Saint Mary's. It's a full month into the season and we still didn't know much about the Gaels before last weekend. They were transfer-laden, proficient on offense and led by Brad Waldow (21.1 PPG, 10.1 RPG) down low – that much we understood – but Randy Bennett's club had yet to play a road contest (or even leave Moraga) through its first six games. And aside from a pair of solid wins over New Mexico State and UC Irvine, Saint Mary's most noteworthy performance prior to Saturday was a 83-71 loss to Boise State on December 6. Was this team good? Mediocre? An at-large contender? Even if the Gaels' 71-67 victory at Creighton over the weekend doesn't fully answer all of those questions, it does make one thing clear: These guys are going to be competitive in the WCC.
Creighton entered Saturday on a 24-game home winning streak, an impressive run that coach Greg McDermott probably would have assumed safe if you had told him Waldow would end up with just 11 points on 2-of-10 shooting. "Obviously, our game plan was to slow down Waldow, because he's such a big part of their offense," McDermott said afterwards. Unfortunately for the Bluejays, the Saint Mary's backcourt more than picked up the slack, as Stanford-transplant Aaron Bright scored 22 points and Kerry Carter dropped in 19. Equally as important was sophomore forward Dane Pineau, who – having never reached double figures in his career – stepped up enormously in wake of Waldow's off night, scoring 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting and ripping down 10 boards. The Gaels withstood an early-second half Creighton surge by responding with a 12-0 run of their own, ultimately forcing an extra period – where Bright and Pineau sealed the deal. Now at 6-1 and with a marquee road victory under its belt, Saint Mary's looks capable of challenging BYU for second-best in the WCC and putting itself in the NCAA Tournament discussion. This weekend's victory at the CenturyLink Center could go a long way.

I don't think it would be a massive issue for them to print off a mass of spares and then store them and sell them to customers who need them. They could circumvent the whole problem in future by providing 2 sticker sheets with each set, although obviously that doesn't solve the problem of the legacy sets.
It would certainly be interesting to know how much of an issue storing print blocks is. How do you know, for example, if it's not all digital these days and in fact, the only issue is finding the file, loading it into a computer and then pressing "go" ?
I did my work experience in a printers some 15 years ago and even then they were largely digital !
speaknspell wrote:I think a lot of cost on sticker sheets come in the form of the die cuts that allow the removal of the stickers as well. I'm not sure what the set up is on something like that.

Region suffers CL&P déjŕ vu
Despite changes, locals say, utility's performance
has not improved
One year after Connecticut Light & Power Co. earned double-barreled condemnation for its slow response to two large storms, local officials say the region's major electricity provider's Hurricane Sandy performance hasn't silenced critics.
"I don't call it a success story at all," North Stonington First Selectman Nicholas Mullane said. "I don't see the response being any better or it taking any less time (to restore electricity) than last time."
Mullane's criticism was echoed by several other officials, who said last week that CL&P initially didn't send enough crews to the region and the workers who did arrive often ignored local priorities or misinformed town leaders about their plans.
Adding to frustrations, work on power restoration seemed to move at glacial speed early on as CL&P adhered to its "safety first" protocol, which meant tree and debris removal had to be completed before electrical lines were given attention.
"Safety first is fine, but when it leads to a complete total lack of action - when you get locked in this plan and you don't move - it's not working," state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, said.
Complaints about CL&P's response to Sandy come 10 months after a report by the so-called Two Storm Panel, which rated state utilities as "deficient" in their preparations for last year's major weather events. Earlier this year, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority said CL&P would have to pay for its poor response times last year by facing possible financial penalties when it next tries to raise its rates.
But CL&P spokesman Frank Poirot said last week that any comparisons between Hurricane Sandy and last year's two storms - August's Tropical Storm Irene and an October nor'easter - are misplaced. Sandy, he said, did much more damage in southeastern Connecticut than either of last year's storms.
"No two storms are alike," he said.
Poirot said there's always room for improvement when it comes to restoring power after a major outage. He said CL&P will hold a debriefing after finishing its Sandy cleanup to help determine how to improve the restoration process next time around.
One of the major complaints heard around the region involves a protocol that requires line crews to get clearance from supervisors at one cleanup site before moving to the next. This, said critics, led to delays in restoring electricity to hard-hit areas as crews awaited for a go-ahead before energizing a circuit.
CL&P spokesmen acknowledged that this part of the safety-first procedure might be improved during future storms.
"We learn something from every storm," Poirot said.
Urban and state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, suggested that the state consider a program to certify local rescue and public works personnel in debris-removal procedures after power outages so that restoration efforts can be expedited in the future. But Poirot said CL&P would have major liability concerns if it allowed anyone but its own workers to deal with downed electrical lines.
Several local officials, including state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, shared observations that few electrical-repair trucks were seen on local roads immediately after the storm as CL&P took about two days to assess damage. But Poirot pointed out that 338,000 CL&P customers regained power within the first couple of days after the storm, about half of the estimated 650,000 who lost electricity, an indication that a lot of work was being done behind the scenes on major circuits at locations too remote from southeastern Connecticut to be noticeable in the region.
Municipal officials said they appreciate the CL&P liaisons who worked with towns to help prioritize the areas that needed electrical restoration first. But they also said that many of those priorities were later changed by CL&P officials without any explanation, leading to a scattershot and inefficient restoration effort.
"I don't think anybody's happy," said Mullane, the North Stonington first selectman. "This could have been managed better."
Adding to problems, officials said, out-of-state crews sometimes showed up without maps or even global positioning systems to help guide them through the affected neighborhoods.
"Everyone expected a better response," Stillman said. "I know I did."
"There's a lot of frustration here," said Waterford Chief of Police Murray Pendleton, who also heads the town's emergency management efforts. He said the number of line crews sent to Waterford after the storms was inadequate.
Dick Morris, director of emergency services in East Lyme, said what irked him was CL&P's poor communication. Two days in a row, he said, the utility promised night crews that never materialized.
"We were not getting what we were promised we were going to get," he said.
CL&P's safety-first precautions were called into question in East Lyme when utility crews restored power in the Laurel Hill neighborhood before noticing that an electrical line was down, which resulted in a pile of leaves catching on fire.
Morris noted that the region seemed to get few of the 2,000 line crews that CL&P had promised were headed to Connecticut in anticipation of the storm. In fact, by Thursday only about half that number of out-of-state crews were reported to be working in Connecticut, though numbers were expected to swell over the weekend.
At midweek, local officials reported only slightly more than 40 CL&P crews on the road locally.
CL&P spokesman Poirot explained that impact of Hurricane Sandy over such a large area - including Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Delaware - limited the number of crews that could set immediately out for Connecticut. But as storm cleanup was completed in other New England states, he said, more crews became available.
Despite some of the criticisms, several officials said CL&P had a better plan this time around than it did last year to deal with electrical outages. Among those praising CL&P was Sprague First Selectwoman Cathy Osten, a Democrat who served on the Two Storm Panel and is running against Republican state Rep. Chris Coutu to replace retiring state Sen. Edith Prague, D-Columbia, in the 19th District.
Osten, reached late last week as she was celebrating the restoration of power to the last dark areas of town, said some of the suggestions that came out of the panel helped CL&P improve its response this time around.
"We think there is much better coordination with the state, and they acted in a much more coordinated fashion in each town and regionally," she said.
Others were not so sure. Urban related difficulties in getting CL&P to respond to specific problems, such as dairy farmers not being able to milk their cows and elderly residents in nursing homes without electricity.
Maynard pointed out that, after all recent storms, customers of locally run utilities in Norwich and Groton made out significantly better than CL&P customers in terms of electricity restoration, with nearly all customers in both cities restored to full power within two or three days of the storm.
Maynard added that complaints over CL&P's response to Hurricane Sandy likely will mean reconvening another storm panel to analyze what went wrong this time and what steps need to be taken to get a quicker response restoring power next time a major storm blows through.
"I don't think the effort from last year has significantly improved things," he said. "It's just added another layer of bureaucracy."

Hair Oils
Organic Hair Oil With Virgin Coconut Oil|
Organic Coconut Oil Hair Oils
with Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
People in tropical cultures have known about the wonderful properties of coconut oil benefiting hair for generations. Studies in India have been done on how effective various oils are on treating damaged hair. One study compared mineral oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil because these were the three most commonly used oils in hair treatment products used in India. The aim of this study was to cover different treatments, and the effect of these treatments on various hair types using these three oils. The number of experiments to be conducted was a very high number, and a technique termed as the "Taguchi Design of Experimentation" was used. Their results:
The findings clearly indicate the strong impact that coconut oil application has to hair as compared to application of both sunflower and mineral oils. Among three oils, coconut oil was the only oil found to reduce the protein loss remarkably for both undamaged and damaged hair when used as a pre-wash and post-wash grooming product. Both sunflower and mineral oils do not help at all in reducing the protein loss from hair. This difference in results could arise from the composition of each of these oils. Coconut oil, being a triglyceride of lauric acid (principal fatty acid), has a high affinity for hair proteins and, because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain, is able to penetrate inside the hair shaft. Mineral oil, being a hydrocarbon, has no affinity for proteins and therefore is not able to penetrate and yield better results. In the case of sunflower oil, although it is a triglyceride of linoleic acid, because of its bulky structure due to the presence of double bonds, it does not penetrate the fiber, consequently resulting in no favorable impact on protein loss. (Rele AS, Mohile RB. "Effect of mineral oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil on prevention of hair damage." Journal Cosmetology Science 2003 Mar-Apr;54(2):175-92.)

Many local AA members have heard by now that the "We Agnostics" group has been forever excommunicated from the Indianapolis Intergroup meeting directory. Some have heard of this author's rather dramatic exit from the charade that they chose to call a "Service Committee Meeting." While I'm not particularly proud of my behavior, I can assure you that the entire group in attendance knows where I stand on this issue, and the chairperson of the "committee" specifically knows my feelings.
It became abundantly clear very early in the evening that the committee had already made up its mind about what the outcome would be. It was not interested in Traditions or Concepts or Unity or Service. It was a war of opinions and anecdotes and popularity. One attendee of that "Service Committee" meeting even went so far as to suggest that the "We Agnostics" meeting was godless and therefore couldn't have a group conscience...violating the Second Tradition. Yet another attendee compared me to a mass murderer because I was passionately defending my right to be there.

I enjoy our meeting and the fellowship. And I also feel compelled to offer an "atheist" hand of AA when newcomers show up looking for help.
Many are like you and have left. That's your decision. I prefer to stay.
I live near a college town so we get a good many scientists at our meetings who are agnostics. I would say that about half my home group profess to be agnostics so I feel quite safe. I am sure there are some meetings that are more into god as higher power but you just have to visit around to find the ones that are more comfortable for you.
I'm currently in a 3/4 house and know I need the extra support of the rooms right now....but....I'm never gonna be able to swallow invisible sky daddy looking out for me and directing traffic down here. So far everyone has been fairly tolerant but, since I'm in a small town in the "bible belt" I can't help but think "the other shoe is about to drop". Anyone have any ideas about what to look for in a sponsor for an Atheist?
Could you find another Atheist/Agnostic to be your sponsor?
That would be ideal but really difficult to find in this area. There is a local Atheist group here but, to my knowledge, I'm the only one in recovery.
I suggest you go to a number of meetings in your area and share your need to have an agnostic sponsor. I believe that learning to ask for what we need to stay sober is a vital part of our recovery. If anyone questions that you are an agnostic, point them to that chapter in the Big Book. Repeat this over and over if you have to. Good luck.
Thanks Lillie. I am required to go to 2 mtgs/day in order to live where I do. I have expressed my beliefs,or lack there of, at a couple of meetings and a couple of women have agreed that it has to be my HP aka God. However not until after the meeting is over and we are safely away from the "God Squaders" in the rooms. With that said, the over all feel of the meetings here are a little condescending. Like they are placating me till my "spiritual conversion " happens. But I agree w/what you said about staying clean and sober and I'm not going to through the baby out with the bathwater just yet lol.
My sponsor is not an agnostic but she totally accepts that I am and that is all right with her. However, she does attend a very modern church and I have a sneaky feeling she has a lot of doubts about theism. Keep looking. You will find just the right sponsor.
yeah, I've asked someone who is affiliated w/the sober living house where I am currently to be my temporary sponsor. She was the one that did my intake eval. and asked about my religious beliefs. I told her that I was an atheist but that I had been raised Unitarian/Universalist. Not only did she know what that was, unbelievably, but actually said "cool". So I feel ok w/her so far but it's still early days.
Good luck. Hope it works out. Stay in touch please.
Will do! Thanks for your suggestions. BTW, How have you been going about that pesky 3rd step? I've got to do that soonly.

Bo Norris continues his success on the farm with ideas and expansion. The 26-year-old Society Hill, S.C., grower already has enough experience under his belt to be considered a veteran and a leader. Now, he's been recognized as the best young farmer in the state of South Carolina.
We first met Norris in 2001. He was farming with his grandfather, Buddy Tucker, and had already made the switch to strip-till and was forming plans to expand. Tucker recently retired and runs a store.
Now, Bo and his wife Patti, farm together with his younger brother, Patrick, who graduated from high school last year.
The South Carolina Young Farmer Agribusiness Association recognized Norris as its Outstanding Young Farmer. The Pee Dee Farm Credit Association presented the award on behalf of the Farm Credit Associations of South Carolina.
"Every year, I'm looking to rent more land and expand a little bit," Norris says, responding to a question about his goals for the future.
He wants to expand to 3,000 acres of cropland to include 1,000 acres of cotton. Since his brother came on board, he also would like to add chicken houses to the mix that also includes stocker cattle.
He went to strip-till for the savings of time and money on corn and soybeans. He's been pleased with the switch, even though it took some time convincing his grandfather of the benefit.
"I kinda got him (my grandfather) turned around," Norris told Southeast Farm Press in 2001.
Farming wasn't the first choice for Norris, but it was the choice that stuck. He was enrolled at the University of South Carolina, with the intention of pursuing a career as an anesthesiologist. A series of untimely deaths in the family left his grandfather alone to tend the operation.
"That summer I changed my mind one day and went to Chesterfield-Marlboro Tech and got a degree in business management while continuing to run the farm," he told the Southeast Farm Press in 2001.
He's now in his seventh year of running the operation.
"Some of the new ideas cost you," Norris says. "I usually try to be a little different. I'm kinda quirky. I always try to be the first one planting, the first one cutting, the first one picking."
Last year, Norris began planted soybeans with a drill and reports better yields. He also went to all Roundup Ready beans. "Chemicals got high and we were spending too much money. It proved to be a whole lot cheaper to buy Roundup Ready beans and not worry about cleaning out the sprayers."
Norris stays on top of things, but tries not to let the activity work him into a frenzy.
For example, take last year's hurricane season. He got ahead of the situation by harvesting corn early last year.
"We were through the Monday before Labor Day," he says. It cost him 12 cents to 15 cents a bushel to dry the early-harvested corn, but he picked up the 35 cents on the LDP. "We made up for it by getting the corn out of the field.
"There are times when doing several things at once will get on your nerves," Norris says. "The last time ya'll spoke with me it was a dry year and I had started building a house and I wanted to start planting cotton.
"I let it worry me, but there wasn't anything I could do," Norris recalls. "It got too wet, then too dry — I let it get on my nerves.
"After that, I decided I wasn't going to let it get to me like that again," Norris says. "Every once in a while I get a little frustrated, but I kinda learned how to keep two or three things going at the same, so when it's too wet I can do something else. When it gets too frustrating, I go fishing."
As a young farmer, Norris has already learned of the importance of being plugged into what's happening.
He is on the county Farm Bureau board and serves on the advisory committee for soybeans as well as the state Young Farmer and Rancher committee.
"You've got to be involved," Norris says. "If the rule making gets in the wrong hands, it could mess you up and cause you problems."
