Good Grape Goes on Hiatus
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" said a very wise John Lennon and that's exactly what has happened with me. My life has kept apace, even as I've made plans to be a respected wine writer.
By most standards, 2011 has been a very good year. I was a three-time finalist in the Wine Blog Awards, earning notice in the Best Overall Wine Blog, Best Industry Blog and Best Writing categories. I started contributing a wine column to Forbes.com. This site was named the 2nd most influential blog (and most influential wine blog) out of 4,000 blogs in a 2011 Wine, Beer and Spirits study by eCairn, a software company specializing in community and influencer marketing. I was a panelist at Vino2011 in New York City, I won a scholarship to the Wine Writer's Symposium in Napa Valley, and I turned down enough worldwide wine trip offers to fill a two-month calendar.
Yet, wine writing has exacted a toll. I approach anything I do with a zeal and fervor that ensures me the success that I want and I've treated my wine writing as a full-time second job, to go alongside the job that I already have that requires 50 + hours a week.
Balance isn't something that I've ever been very good at—possessed of an unassuming mien, a Midwestern work ethic, and a mental make-up whereby I cast myself as the underdog means that I am continually trying to prove something to myself, often times at the expense of real, true priorities.
Even more challenging is the fact that my standards for myself have been raised even as I've honed my writing chops. Instead of figuring out a system to find time shortcuts, the amount of time it takes for me to write has become more deliberate and expansive while my interest in writing has become more professional in nature – less blogging and more credible journalism requiring more work to exceed the bar that I've set for myself.
The net result of this, after full-time job plus wine writing, is the rest of my life has received scant attention for nearly seven years and I've created a nearly untenable situation for myself, a set of internal expectations that I can't live up to, requiring a time commitment that I can't manage.
However, most importantly, the expectations and time commitments that I have assigned to my wine writing isn't fair to the other people in my life – notably, my incredibly supportive wife, Lindsay. She has been a saint the past six years, my blogging encompassing nearly the entire duration of our 6.5 year marriage. But, she is long overdue a husband that takes the trash out without prompting!
I'll be around the Internets – commenting on wine blogs, doing the Twitter thing, staying connected on Facebook and I'll probably start engaging more actively on CellarTracker and on the WineBerserkers message board, but I'm taking a hiatus from wine writing to recalibrate, shifting my time to the things that are the most important to me: Family and career.

Old World vs. New World in More Ways than just the Wine
In the increasingly close quarters of our global village, Europe is responsible for bringing at least three different substantive and prodigious professional wine journals to market over the last several years. Each is written by a 'Who's Who' of wine experts. Meanwhile, stateside, the U.S. has experienced an explosion of pithiness with amateur wine writers writing online.
This juxtaposition becomes relevant after reading a recent post titled, "Are wine blogs going tabloid" by professional wine critic and writer Steve Heimoff. In his brief post, with a decidedly American point of view,...

The Power of Intent in Biodynamic Wine
I wrote a heady post in September about Biodynamic wine. The story is too complicated to summarize here (link to post), but one of the things that I touched on (and that interests me on an ongoing basis) is the notion of "intent" in the vineyard particularly as it relates to viticultural quality and Biodynamic preparations.

Shut the Front Door: A Vinsane, Pay-it-Forward, Drinks 4X the Price Wine Recommendation
The problem with sleuthing out good wine under $10 is the recommendations usually come with provisos like, "This is pretty good for the price," or "This isn't bad for the style of wine." Rare is the time that a wine recommendation for vino under $10 is just, "This is a fantastic wine."
Who can blame the wine recommender for their caveats and written sleights of hand when they're left to tout the middling amongst the insipid; the redemptive within the felonious?

By Siri Chand Kaur Khalsa, M.D.
"Appreciation is an art and a lifestyle and a source of happiness and fulfillment. It's called gratitude—an attitude of gratitude." -Yogi Bhajan, June 27, 1984
Researchers at UC Davis found that those who cultivated gratitude had better health, sounder sleep, less anxiety and depression, higher long-term satisfaction with life and kinder behavior toward others. We have been offered so much timeless wisdom from our teacher. An attitude of gratitude is the sure path for the elevation of our planet and includes looking at those aspects of life that may have been sour or bitter at the time and finding sweetness in them. Our relationship to food and how we design meals can be a wonderful reflection of this principle.
The Gifts of Turmeric
Yogi Bhajan Tip: Turmeric. "One thing is very friendly to the internal organs of every woman, and that is turmeric. Incorporate it into your meals. It is an internal doctor."
Haridra, Sanskrit for turmeric (Curcuma longa) is an essential ingredient for many of the curries found in Indian cuisine. When I first began exploring the spices that are the basis for these spice blends, I assumed they might function similarly to basil where an extra "bit" might not change a dish too much. I learned quickly that these spices have far more potent flavors and with turmeric, less can be more.
In recent years, studies have found that one of the active ingredients in turmeric, curcumin, has far reaching health benefits. Incorporating it daily through curries has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of cancer, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. Defined in Ayurveda as having primarily the bitter and pungent taste, it has many functions on the subtle energy systems of the body and in low doses is known to be balancing on all the doshas. The orange color in turmeric, squash and sweet potatoes indicates the presence of carotenoids like beta-carotene which are potent antioxidants and fat soluble. This means that you need at least ½ teaspoon of a fat like olive oil or ghee in the meal to properly absorb all the nutrients present.
Butternut squash and sweet potatoes are often made during the holiday season and as leftovers can be made into a lovely curry soup. Fresh ingredients can also be used. Brazil nuts are not imperative to add in this dish; however they add a wonderful creamy flavor and are rich in micronutrients like selenium which is low in many diets and believed to play a role in immunity via its ability to assist in antioxidant reactions. This recipe allows for a lot of flexibility as 3 cups of any root vegetable blend* can be used.
Orange Root Vegetable Curry Soup
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. ground cumin seed
1 tsp. coriander
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1-2 garlic cloves minced
1 medium onion diced
2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
3 tablespoons organic olive oil or organic ghee
1 ½ cups butternut squash (cooked or raw)*
1 ½ cups sweet potatoes (cooked or raw)*
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups water
4-5 Brazil nuts that have been soaked for 2 hours in water
Salt and pepper to taste
In at least a four quart pan, heat oil/ghee, add turmeric and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, garlic, onion, ginger and sauté for several minutes until onions begin to turn a clear color. Add water and vegetable stock. Add squash and sweet potato; cook for 30 minutes or until soft. If using cooked leftover squash and sweet potatoes, this cooking time can be less; however 20 minutes is minimum for all the flavors to combine properly. Take the vegetables and broth off the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Drain water from Brazil nuts and add to the soup mixture. Puree with hand blender or in blender after it has cooled to avoid risk of burn from steam during transfer and blending. Add salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne as desired. Top with freshly chopped parsley and warm on low heat on the stove if needed.
As you resource leftovers and continue creating gratitude for all that emerges in the holiday season, you will be sure to soar into the new year with grace and joy.

CharTA necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Typing Adventure - http://www.typingadventure.com New site (draft) http://typingadventure.com/09/published/final/
Typing Adventure is a start-up that is growing in popularity and the logo you will design will follow us into the craze that is "educational gaming" and we are launching our redesigned site. We offer an "adventurous" twist to the typical boring online typing tutor. Students are on an expidition and play exciting games in a virtual world while searching for pieces to a lost ancient tablet - all while learning to type.
Our product is adventurous so we need a logo that inspires adventure - Indiana Jones, Safari, etc.
Typing Adventure was conceptualized by a Seattle area teacher who saw his students quickly getting bored with other typing tutors and so he designed his own! One that keeps students, engaged, and excited. When they use our product they are having so much fun they barely realize they're learning a new skill. We hear this all the time from teachers and students.
Typing Adventure is a fresh, fun, casual, startup, with a BIG VISION. We want to transform the way students learn online. We have upgraded our product and are launching a new website that we hope offers more credibility to our product and creates more 'conversions." Having a great logo is important to that process.
Please familiarize yourself with our current site http://www.typingadventure.com and our new (in draft form) site: http://typingadventure.com/09/published/final/
We have international reach - we have customers in Africa, Australia, and all around the world, so it must be able to speak to all cultures.
Our current demo is schools (both private and public) and families. The typing tutor is suitable for male and female ages 8-adult. So the logo it must appeal to both genders and all ages.
We will soon have a Typing Adventure busines version, so that is why the logo needs to have a healthy balance of "professional and adventure." We hope to launch other "adventure" tutors soon using the same logo with either a "math" twist or science "twist" and may call on winning designers services again for future help.
The new logo needs to be own-able, credible/professional, able to bring out our "adventurous" brand, yet have broad appeal (ages, genders, cultures).
Please familiarize yourself with our new site (draft url is above) and the area to the top left where the winning logo would be placed.
Also, our site colors can be modified to match the winning logo if need be.
We may be introducing other new Education Adventure Gaming sites so our hope would be that the logo could be transferable so we could perhaps remove the word "Typing" in the logo and change it out to say for example "Math Adventure" with everything else in the logo remaing the same. We may also need to utilize the winning designer's services in the future.
The fun and adventurous twist of our product is what sets us apart from our competition. Checking out both our old site and the draft of our new site will be really helpful. Please don't hesitate to send questions to me.
What is OK:
* All work needs to be original and not modifications of existing work, clip art, etc.
* In addition to the vector illustration, we will need also some scaled down reworks in low resolutions like: 125x125, 16x16 for use as avatars and favicon
* Character can be used separately from logo
* We need a Full Color and a B/W version
* We need Vector illustration (so we can scale it as we wish)
* Really good quality vector finished product will be required

text: Disagreements happen, and if the parties to a dispute cannot reach a mutually agreeable solution, then they may have to turn to the courts for help resolving their disagreement. Civil litigation can be used to resolve all sorts of conflicts, from personal injury cases to contract disputes, from disagreements between neighbors to contested wills. But don't head to court on your own. Whether you're an individual or a small business, defendant or plaintiff, you need the advice and guidance of a litigator who has experience with all aspects of civil litigation. Your attorney can prepare and file the lawsuit while continuing to try to negotiate an out-of-court settlement. And if the disagreement can't be resolved amicably, your lawyer can work with you to develop a strategy, represent you in court and advocate on your behalf during the civil trial.


text: Defense Frank Proctor Performance Pistol DVD Recoil Staff September 5, 2013 0 COMMENT Frank Proctor of Way of the Gun, in conjunction with Superset Media Group, has released his first instructional DVD. Performance Pistol is keenly focused on helping shooters work toward achieving an optimal balance of speed and accuracy. We've been fortunate to spend time with Frank — he is a great instructor who brings a unique blend of combat and competitive shooting experience to the table. With over 18 years of military service, Frank has spent 11 of them in the US Army Special Forces. In addition to numerous deployments, including Afghanistan and Iraq, he has instructed the Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat Course, Combat Marksmanship, Close Quarters Battle, Breaching and Sniper/Observer Operations. Frank has a genuine passion for shooting, and got hooked on competitive shooting about six years ago. After just one year of competing, he achieved the lofty rank of Grand Master in the Limited division of USPSA. He also earned a Master rank in IDPA Stock Service Pistol. Frank is a seriously amazing shooter, and a true student of the art and science of shooting. Performance Pistol contains 69 minutes of instruction and demonstration. Frank covers control, seeing, mechanics and movement. Control includes fundamentals of grip and recoil management. His methodology is detailed and well thought out. Seeing is critical to realizing improvement in your speed while still maintaining acceptable accuracy. This is among the more advanced and occasionally somewhat abstract topics, but very important to push yourself further. You might want to watch this section a couple times! Mechanics encompasses actions such as the draw and reloads. Frank's methods prioritize speed, efficiency and consistency. Finally, movement covers stance and posture, moving to positions, and the all-important shooting while moving. All you have to do is watch Frank shoot a course of fire, and you'll want to hear what he has to say. Frank's wisdom will serve you well, whether you are going into harm's way or trying to win a match. And he's a down-to-earth, great guy to boot. The standard definition DVD's production value is great, with beautifully shot video and clear audio. You can order the DVD from Way of the Gun for $35. If you're yearning for full, glorious high-definition video, it is available for streaming on-demand on Vimeo for $19.95.

Thanks to advanced techniques, the researchers were able to study the skin and scales intact without damaging their structure. Their findings show that while both fish and spiders used different crystal arrangements, they were both able to evolve effective structures for achieving reflectivity using the same base material (guanine crystals).
The fact that both fish and spiders were able to evolve a unique but equally effective structure for photonic camouflage is particularly intriguing. Says Prof. Peter Fratzl of the Department of Biomaterials at the Max
Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, "It is very surprising that fish and spiders, pertaining to completely
different taxonomic groups, independently acquired through evolution
the ability to generate mirror-like reflections on their skin by
depositing guanine crystals. This suggests that the solution must be
quite efficient and it is, therefore, extremely promising for the
material scientists to try and understand the structural principles of
these photonic crystals working as (colored) mirrors."
The connection between Advent and NASA images might seem odd. However, the calendar offers us a chance to marvel at the wonders of God's works as we anticipate the coming of his Son. For as Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God."
Recently BioLogos' Karl Giberson was interviewed by Marcio Campos for the Brazilian newspaper Gazeta do Povo's Tubo De Ensaio (i.e. "Test tube") section. What follows is a translated transcript of that interview, which we will be posting in three installments. Here is the first.
Campos: Starting on more of a lighter note, when I read the subtitle "How to be a Christian and believe in Evolution," I remembered an article by Pepperdine professor Douglas Swartzendruber, published last July, saying that we don't "believe" in evolution the way we "believe" in God, angels or Santa Claus. Yet that's how people are asked in polls: "do you believe in evolution?" I'd like you to comment on this choice of words. Has evolution become a "belief"?
Giberson: Your question spotlights a significant issue in this whole controversy–what do people think the words we are using really mean? Many people think "evolution" means "an atheistic story of origins." If you ask a religious person do they believe in evolution, many thus feel bound to respond "Of course not."
There are two senses of the word "believe" that I think are relevant here. In the literal sense, "believe" can simply mean to "accept as true." We all "believe" that 2 plus 2 is 4. This bland sense of belief would apply, I think, even to people who believe in God but for whom that belief has no consequences. My guess would be that many deists believe in God like they believe in the laws of physics–something "out there" that exists but does not really engage them at any deep level.
But there is a sense–and I am sure this is what Swartzendruber is getting at–in which "believe" carries a more substantial meaning. My "belief" in God engages me in meaningful ways that my belief in gravity does not. However–and here I might depart from Swartzendruber–I think that belief in evolution can also engage one in deeply personal ways that go beyond mere assent. My belief in evolution motivates me to reflect on how I am related to all of life; how I am embedded in the natural history of the universe; how I should treat animals; what I should think about primates; and so on. I think evolution has a sort of transforming power that can change the way one relates to the world around them–in ways that are not unlike belief in God.
Campos: A recent Pew Forum research on how Americans and scientists view evolution and the science-religion relationship says that while 31% of the general public claim that humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time and 32% say they evolved over time due to natural processes, other 22% say they evolved over time "guided by a supreme being". How to analyze this last number? Is this "guided evolution" possible, or do you see this expression as a disguise for ID or similar views?
Giberson: ID is not really a particular viewpoint. Their "big tent" is so big it includes people that have very little in common: 1) interventionists who accept evolution as long as God tinkers from time to time in detectable ways; 2) young earth creationists; 3) old earth creationists; 4) and even people who don't believe in God. The most recent ID book, Signature in the Cell by Stephen Meyer, argues that God created the first cell and then natural selection took over and did the rest–a sort of "biological deism." ID is really more of a political movement where anti-evolutionists have agreed to set aside their considerable differences and join forces to wage war on evolution. The political character of ID is becoming increasingly apparent and there are signs the movement may be dying.
"Guided evolution" is accepted by many people, especially scientifically informed Christians. It appears under different labels like "theistic evolution," "evolutionary creationism," and "BioLogos" the term we are using for our project–chosen to get out from under the negative baggage associated with the word "evolution."
The idea of God guiding evolution is actually very complex. To be meaningful, we cannot simply accept the secular story and say "God did it." We need to make some theologically sensible claim about what God is doing and how God is involved in the process.
So let me respond with a helpful anecdote. When I teach evolution to evangelical students at Eastern Nazarene College they are often uncomfortable with the idea that God might work, somewhat invisibly, "through" the laws of nature. This does not seem like the God of the Bible who speaks from burning bushes, makes Eve from Adam's rib, and rains fire and brimstone down on Sodom and Gomorrah. I always ask my students "How many of you believe that God guided you to Eastern Nazarene College?" Most of the hands go up. Then I ask "How many of you received this guidance through dramatic, supernatural interruptions of the natural course of events?" All the hands go down.
The conclusion is obvious: if God can "guide" people by working "through" the normal course of every-day events, then most certainly God can guide natural history by working through the laws of nature. This differs in one important way from all the ID positions–it does not require that God interrupt the natural course of events to "occasionally" do some of the creative work. Rather it views God as inhabiting the entire process.

While the European Union — many of whose member states are facing dire economic crises — struggles to convince the world of its significance and necessity, it has taken on a controversial new agenda: Internet control. Reports indicate that the EU will soon be creating a mandatory electronic ID system for all citizens of the European Union.
The EU's Digital Agenda Commissioner, Neelie Kroes, asserts that the legislation will promote "the adoption of harmonized e-signatures, e-identities and electronic authentication services (eIAS) across EU member states."
An internal document related to the proposal explains:
A clear regulatory environment for eIAS would boost user convenience, trust and confidence in the digital world. This will increase the availability of cross-border and cross-sector eIAS and stimulate the take up of cross-border electronic transactions in all sectors.
According to EurActiv.com, Neelie Kroes would later "widen the scope of the current Directive by including also ancillary authentication services that complement e-signatures, like electronic seals, time/date stamps, etc," as the EU attempts to coerce nations into participating.
It's worth noting that Kroes is a longtime attendee at the secretive Bilderberg meetings of elite globalists, and it seems likely the legislation will be an item on the agenda for the upcoming Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, May 31-June 3.
Across the Atlantic, the Obama administration has been a major proponent of a national Internet ID system, but has faced harsh backlash for the proposal. Critics have voiced a variety of concerns surrounding the Internet ID system, focusing on the power such a plan would grant to federal authorities to monitor the online activities of all U.S. citizens. When the idea was first proposed by President Obama, EndoftheAmericanDream.com noted, "The potential for government abuse of such a system is absolutely staggering."
Additional concerns were raised over the vulnerability that such a system would create for consumers. If someone were to steal another's ID and authenticate it, the thief would then have access to many different areas of the victim's life.
"Look at it this way: You can have one key that opens every lock for everything you might need online in your daily life," says Lillie Coney, the associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. "Or, would you rather have a key ring that would allow you to open some things but not others?"
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, if the government were to implement the Internet ID system, it would need to create new privacy laws and regulations to prohibit identity verifiers from selling user information or sharing it with law-enforcement authorities without a warrant.
"It took us decades to realize that we shouldn't carry our Social Security cards around in our wallets," says Aaron Titus, the chief privacy officer at Identity Finder. The cyber IDs are at an even greater risk than Social Security cards, he explains, because they involve significant transactions.
"What happens when you leave your phone at a bar?" he asks. "Could someone take it and use it to commit a form of hyper identity theft?"
European citizens have voiced similar concerns over the implementation of national ID cards, particularly as related to government control.
Euractiv.com explains:
Some member states like the United Kingdom do not even have paper identity cards, and the idea of adopting them causes widespread public opposition.
The UK briefly introduced ID cards during the second world war but abolished them afterwards. The use that the Nazi regime made of identity documents to single out Jewish people and send them into concentration camps has been a powerful argument against introducing ID documents across the Channel.
When former British Prime Minister Tony Blair attempted to introduce the idea of ID cards, a protest movement arose across the nation practically overnight.
Regardless of the concerns revolving around the national Internet ID, the EU Commission in Brussels favors the idea and intends to move ahead with the regulations, with probable support from the influential Bilderberg Group.
The internal document related to the proposal indicates that most of the EU member states will ultimately back the plan as a result of "behind-the-scene" negotiations, reports Euractiv. But the document also predicts that there will likely be some boisterous debating over the idea at the EU Council of Ministers.

Creative Art works - everyday objects turned into funny drawings by Victor Nunes
24 May 2017
Victor Nunes' 3D illustrations relate to pareidolia, which is our natural inclination to give meaning to random objects. With his simple line drawings he gives an extraordinary touch of creativeness and forms many playfull illustrations. Apart from his passion for common objects, Nunes has an obsession for playing with his food, as the artist creates multiple shapes out of food like pasta and fruit. Many interesting and imaginative illustrations such as whistle figures, popcorn-men, pumpkin seeds, pliers, clothspin, pencil shavings, scissors and razor handle forms a whole lot of new...

This Filthy, Abandoned Bunker Looked Hopeless, But Wait Till You See Inside Now
Please like us to get more great stories like this
Bunker Is Transformed To Be A Four-Bedroom Home With Skylights
March 14, 2015
Elizabeth Strutton knows how to bunk down for the night -- she transformed a U.K. World War II radar post into a hideaway home.
"It is a magical fortress," Strutton told the Daily Mail in 2013. "You don't know what you're letting yourself in for when you take this kind of thing on, but I know I live in the best place in the world now."
Strutton, identified as a former property developer, had to cope with renovation frustrations. The whole structure had to be insulated since it is underground; a fire sprinkler system was required because there are no windows or fire escapes, and an air circulation unit once reigned in what is now a bedroom, the Daily Mail reported.
What are the bright spots? "There's no reason to think you're living underground," Strutton told BBC News. That's because sun tubes in the roof let in light and help with ventilation.
Then there is the outdoor ambience, with views of the fields and landscaping, plus the site's historical role.
"We have had a lot of interest," Strutton told the newspaper. "A man studying bunkers of that era came round and I learned a lot about my home that I never knew. "
"Living in here you do really appreciate the way people fought -- you feel a sort of connection with what they were doing. It is something I don't want to take for granted and one of the best things about the place."
Strutton ended up putting the property on the market, but not many people can say they helped save a piece of history.

On The Street………Role Model For The Young Sartorialist
CommentsClose comment
19 comments
Well done!!
That's a great look he's got going on. I like the way every piece complements the next all the way down to the sneakers. Even the too-short jacket sleeves look like they were made to be that way on purpose. Nice to see more looks that don't belong in Flusser's book or that seem to emulate a Paul Stuart catalog.
this is my favorite picture you've posted on this site. his outfit is fantastic! it's amazingly stylish, but doesn't look formulaic, nor the product of money substituting for style.
Fabulous, fabulous fabulous!
I was away in Miami for a few days and as soon as I got back I had to see what you were up to and I was soooooo pleasantly surprised with all the beautiful, chic, stylish people in New York that you have photographed.
This guy looks too fab!, sort of a fresh Jean -Michel Basquiat look that is a real knockout.
I love this website!
Satrorialist, you are AMAZING!
this is one of your more original picks.
yeah, i'll have to steal him for my sustainable style. all "reused" and looks great!
thank you, sartorialist. i have regained my faith in you after your baffling string of botoxed and blownout publicists in stilettos. this photo is why i come to the site. he's a style inspiration and deeply adorable too.
I like it. Not crazy about the vest though, a bit too much.
he's so cool.
he is stylish but not overdone, and still looks casual. brilliant.
looking good!
Imho the sleeves of the jacket are too short, the pants look like joggingpants, but what I really dislike is the combination of different white colours of the jacket and the pants.
But the scarf looks really great.
Just a little bit boring … but the guy will have a stylish future. Hold on.
his trousers are dirty. what's cool about that? i guess that's cool…
Is this a look only someone in their twenties can pull off? What is the equivalant to this for someone in their thirties or forties…etc.
Hmm, it might be true that the look is a tiny bit simple (although the scarf begs to differ)but somehow, he radiates a kind of intelligent confidence that ensures you that he is not.
OMG it is amazing how much he reminds me of Jean-Michael Basquiat. Its eerie. He looks FAB.
good job for him, too bad i am not into wearing clothes that have been worn already. Sartorialism has many different styles for different ppl.(i'm speaking of those ppl who are born sartorialists)
This is my favorite kind of outfit. The kind that although not overdone, I couldn't see anyone I know wearing. And just look at that face.
Apart from a little too much layering and 'busyness' in the top half, I love this style

Moderators: Minimalist, MichelleH
Among the arresting findings: the practice of incorporating the dead into defensive walls.
Interior walls feature geometric friezes, sculptured serpents (the snake was a sacred symbol) and glaring stone faces -- eerie, unnerving visages from a lost era. The perpetual stares convey an enduring sense of reproach, as though disapproving of contemporary efforts to unearth the Chachapoya secrets.
Today, dozens of archaeologists and their assistants, armed with shovels, picks, brushes, pens and paper, endeavor to peel back the layers of dirt and debris and unlock the enigma. At roped-off digs, pieces of half-interred pottery and skeletal remains are clearly visible.
"We found these," said a grizzled, orange-helmeted Modesto Velazquez, a laborer who is part of the archaeological team, bearing several ancient deer antlers that served a decorative and possibly utilitarian purpose, an ancient version of coat hooks.
Cognito wrote:Please be more sensitive. These people weren't "dead" or "stiffs"; they had simply assumed room temperature and were breathing-challenged.

Just got this one over to Sweden, played two gigs with it and it's just awesome!
This is a model called the Delta Rocket from Republic Guitars.
Beautiful and nice sounding, almost too shiny though, LoL!!!!!
I like the design and the neck is nice too, fat and wide.. I put some new nickel strings on it, 0.15 - 0.58..
Tuned to F and C in this clip..
It'll be a good stage alternative to my tricones and the vintage guitars, I've been meaning to get me a new singlecone for some time now.
The big grilles makes it easier to mic it on stage as well, I love this one, guys!!!!
Here's a few pics, my first gig with it was on the streets, haha! A festival in the north of Sweden, completely acoustic and it sure could be heard around town..
Later that day I held a workshop about reso-guitars and bottleneck style playing..

Very Professional, a Lot of Support
Fund: Earlybird Venture Capital
Posted by gman on 2010-03-04
I'm a serial extrepreneur and I have done two rounds of funding with EarlyBird, with two different companies. The first company was funded by EB in 1999 and led to a successful exit. My second company was funded by EB in 2009. All in all I can say is they were extremely professional throughout the entire process on both counts. Secondly, I've always been getting a lot of support, with contacts, strategic input, and as sparring partner. They are a very enthusiastic team once they're on board. Until that point, they are very critical, selective and know how to do their due diligence but that is to be expected from a top international investor.PRIVATE: Members Only

3D TV Without Glasses Closer
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Science
European researchers are working on 3D technology that does not require a pair of those nerdy glasses and can be viewed from several angles. A project nicknamed HOLOVISION which ended in April of last year was replaced by OSIRIS, which will continue through the end of the year. The resolution is said to be about 10x HDTV with projection engines driven by 9 high-end PCs and holographic imaging film being used. Expect this to not be accessible to the masses for awhile as the first applications will probably be in industry and/or science.

Wrap City: Top 10 Artists NOBODY Cares About Anymore Part 3
Every artist has their moment before cheers turn into boos and bright lights dim. With hundreds of once popular rappers/singers fighting irrelevancy and only 10 spots, we had to make a Pt. 2 and now a Pt. 3—the finale.
Here are the last ten artists NOBODY cares about anymore. Take a look.
K-Ci & JoJo
There's nothing but crack particles and sorrow left in the once popular duo's vocal cords. Recently booed during a London reunion performance, KAY-CEE. JO-JO. JODASSEE (WOO-YEA) are over.
Photo credit: Instagram
The greasy immigrant smashed Lauryn Hill into a dark, hopeless place, tore apart The Fugees and blew your YELE donations on a lifetime supply of speedos. Clef and his struggle yodels gotta go.
Bone Thugs & Harmony
Everyone loved Bone's thuggish ruggish harmonies and will forever have a place for Uncle Charles in our hearts. Iconic Rap group? Yes. Bone comeback…in 2013? HELL no. We have Future now.
Amel Larrieux
The shea buttery-soulstress made quality body butter-application music from '00-'06 then went missing like "Judy" in "Family Matters." New Amel Larrieux music in 2013? Nah, we good.
Foxy Brown
Foxy and her unwanted nana fell all the way off after an impressive run. Somewhat deaf (her claim, not ours) and shaped like a trash bag stuffed with boxes, her career ended 7 Lil Kim faces ago.
Elgin's baby hairs just don't sparkle and glisten like they used to. Widely-considered the most well-rounded male R&B artist of his era, we're not here for new Ginuwine (or TGT) music.
Continue Slideshow
We doubt the "Thug&B" crooner knew his life would be forever changed when he rocked that now infamous Willy-LeRoy Wonka zoot suit in public. Musically-irrelevant, "Jaheim" and "Chocolate factory" are eternally linked.
It's sad watching a 35-year-old rapper spell his wrongly-spelled name on records in 2013. Ten years ago, it was hot. Now it's just corny and unnecessary.

Noon: the Sooners play the Longhorns in Dallas, which is almost exactly between the Norman, OK campus of OU and the Austin, TX campus of UT. Neutral location! At 3:30, Stanford heads to Notre Dame in the battle of schools you hate—maybe they'll both lose!—while the evening sends South Carolina to LSU, where they can't hypnotize the Tigers with gay techno glow-stick music and are therefore destined for defeat. Of course, there are good games all over the map, and potential for shame and misery at every contest out there, so there should be much to yak about. Enjoy.

Fight with courage, win with honor and lose with dignity.
Those words comprise the motto of the Fort Myers Fencing Club, whose members visited the Sanibel Recreation Center last week for a demonstration of the ancient combat activity which uses a variety of bladed weapons.
Introducing the Summer Day Camp participants to the one-on-one sport, Charles Johnson and six members of his club showed youngsters how to use the three modern competitive weapons - foil, epee and sabre - and how fencing is as much about outsmarting your opponent as it is about athleticism.

Sarah Buckley, left, and Jason Moore battle during a foil fencing demonstration last Friday afternoon at the Sanibel Recreation Center.
"It's like chess... but at 90 mph," said 14-year-old Dexter Moore, who became interested in fencing about seven years ago. "It's good to be athletic, but you also have to have intelligence."
But unlike chess, your opponent isn't going to poke your torso in order to gain points during a competition.
"You have to be thinking several moves ahead," Moore added.
According to Johnson, his club has been promoting the sport for the last 30 years.
"It is our goal to promote awareness and actively recruit young athletes to this sport," he said. "Many young people do not enjoy team sports. Fencing is ideal for these kids. Fencing is a fast-paced, one-on-one sport that helps build strength, coordination, self-esteem and it's a heck of a lot of fun!"
Jason Moore, 16, encouraged his little brother to pursue his interest in fencing after his mother suggested the activity.
"I like it because it's just you and your opponent," said Moore, who took part in the 2010 Nationals in Atlanta, Ga. "It's a lot of fun for both of us."
Inside the Rec Center's auditorium, campers watched the Fort Myers Fencing Club's members demonstrate their swordsmanship skills. The showed how to advance (move forward), retreat (move backward), parry, lunge and various forms of attack and defense. Some of the camp participants even took turns serving as judges during the matches.
"I think I enjoy the adrenaline rush the most," said 16-year-old Sarah Buckley, who explained that she began fencing after her younger brother joined the club. "It's fun trying to outsmart your opponent, and be quicker. It's definitely a challenge."
Johnson also said that he hopes more people will try their hand at fencing at least once in their lives.
"We encourage everyone to become involved and participate, whether your goal is to just get a good workout or compete at the local, regional, or national level," he added. "Most people who join our club have never fenced before."

Community supports family of Newtown victim at Daniel Barden Mudfest in Deansboro (Videos)
DEANSBORO >> Communities came together Saturday for the Daniel Barden Mudfest at MKJ Farms. Teams were assembled and registered to win, but the afternoon was full of teamwork and helping hands as people struggled through the course.
Daniel Barden was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting that took place in December in Newtown, Conn. The seven-year-old was remembered fondly by neighbors and friends as a spirited young athlete full of energy.
"What we are doing here is just a small representation of who Daniel was," said Dan Williams, a family friend of the Bardens who helped organize the Mud Run. "I want to thank everyone that came out to show their support."
Williams said he remembered playing soccer with Daniel, his sister Karin Lablanca's neighbor. He said he could barely keep up with the young soccer player.
Daniel's older brother James and his soccer team, the Mac Titans, made the four-hour trip to Deansboro to run in memory of the first-grader and his schoolmates.
"This soccer team is almost like a family," said parent team member Trevor Oltran. "When everything happened, it just brought all of us so much closer together. We are here to support our family."
Bill Marris and the Burrow Hillbillies from Deansboro where enjoying themselves before the race. Marris, along with the rest of his ragtag crew, said they were there to support event coordinator Jessica Poyer and her brother, along with the Bardens. The group wasn't afraid of the course, just the ambulance ride that might be awaiting them on the other end.
"We're here to help keep the memory of those kids alive," Marris said. "But, we're here to enjoy the day as well, just like everyone else."
Marris and the rest of his team have collectively raised more than $700 for the event.
The Oriskany Falls VFW provided a chicken barbecue for attendees and Saranac Brewery handled beer and other drinks for runners and watchers alike.
The course was lined with hollowed out logs, each lit at the start of the race, pouring smoke over the area. The Irish pipe band began playing as runners gathered toward the starting area.
As the runners lined up for the first heat, Williams shouted "work together and help each other out!" Teams helped each other over the first obstacle, a five foot wooden wall.
After struggling through numerous obstacles on the three mile course, including walls, culverts, hills and belly crawls, two of the first finishers were Sam Price from West Winfield and Jake Wratten from North Brookfield. Both finished the course in under 40 minutes.
The two said the course was extremely fun, and a great, cheap alternative to events like the Spartan Run. Both Wratten and Price agreed with most of the runners that the belly crawl through frigid water was the most difficult part of the course.
Wratten said he has spent upwards of $100 for similar events, whereas the Mud Run was not only cheaper at $55, but went to a great cause.
"The money goes to charity, and that's awesome," Wratten said. "It's great that we have something like this in our area. It not only helps the charity, but all of these travelers will help local businesses, too."
"People really seem to be enjoying themselves. It's amazing seeing the community come out and support something like this," said organizer Poyer. More than 50 teams participated, some with up to 50 members and plenty of solo runners at the event. Overall, she said around 1,000 people came out to run before 10 a.m.
"I think a lot of people came out for the Bardens and their friends," Poyer said. "If you know that family, you love that family."

Graduate Education with a Purpose
The purpose of graduate education at the University of Mississippi was first articulated by the Aims and Ends statement associated with the organization of the Graduate School in 1927. The statement is as follows: "The student who undertakes graduate study should understand at the outset that work of this character implies more than the acquisition of knowledge under competent instruction. He or she should aspire to a degree of knowledge of a given subject in order to make a contribution that is of original and independent value. This does not imply that much of the student's energies are not still to be applied in the acquisition of facts universally accepted, a process that should continue through life, but in graduate study these facts are to be weighed, coordinated, and supplemented by the student's own contributions."

EM initially benefitted from the FOMC decision, but softened into the weekend. One culprit was lower oil prices, as reports suggest an output deal is unlikely at the OPEC meeting this week in Algeria. However, it wasn't just EM, as the greenback closed firmer against the majors as well. We still believe that risk and EM should do fine over the next few weeks, as the Fed set a two-month window of steady rates.Read more

The US dollar has lost another 0.5% against most of the major currencies today, as Asia and Europe respond to the Fed's decision. There are few exceptions to this generalization. The Norwegian krone has gained nearly three times as much, with the help of its central bank, which has played down for lower rates at today's meeting. The euro is at its lowest level against Nokkie since the end of last year.Read more
Much of what the Bank of Japan announced today had been largely leaked. While there was a sizeable response in the asset markets, the dollar's knee-jerk gains against the yen were quickly unwound. The BOJ lifted its self-imposed restrictions on its asset purchases and shifted the focus of policy from the monetary base to the yield curve. It is not clear that this shift increases the chances of the BOJ reaching its inflation target.Read more

Pokémon Rumble U is available for the Wii U today, capitalizing on the Game Pad's near-field communications feature to give players the ability to import special toys directly into the game. I purchased seven of these special blind bagged toys. Let's see who we got.
Note that I don't have access to the game yet, so I can't show you what they do. All I can show you is the extreme joy of getting seven sealed character toys and not getting a single dupe. That's magical.
As far as I know, these are only available at GameStop, and my local GameStop only got one box, so good luck. Each cost $3.99. Using the power of math, that means I spent more than I probably should have on things I could not see.
Oh, and I did skip a guy in the video. It was normal forme Deoxys. No one cares about Deoxys.

Camera Preset + is a nifty Windows Phone 8 photography app that lets you build preset camera settings for quick and easy access. The app was recently updated to version 1.2 that adds a few features and deals with some minor bugs.
Camera Preset + now has an alternative skin for the on-screen controls, a deep zoom feature in full resolution, and you can view the EXIF information from photos captured with Camera Preset +.
EXIF (short for Exchangeable Image File) Information contains all the photo information for that particular photo. It ranges from the make/model of the camera to exposure settings. It's a nice feature to allow you to check all the particulars of your photographs.
Another change with version 1.2 is that the tutorials are always available. So if you need a little help figuring things out, all you need to do is tap the three-dot menu and choose the "How To" link.
The new skin is more or less involves circular tiles as oppose to the square ones on the original. Either option works as well as the other but it is nice that you get a choice. In just tinkering with the updated version of Camera Preset + for a short time, the updated version is a nice improvement for this Windows Phone 8 app.
There is a trial version available for Camera Preset + with the full version running $1.49. You can find it all here in the Windows Phone Store.

Many postures and defensive tensions arise from anxiety and stress. If this is continued and repeated, restrictions and alterations will take place in the soft tissues. If unreleased these become self-perpetuating and the source of pain and of more stress. The ability to relax is frequently lost and the consequent drain on nervous energy is marked.
The unique understanding which osteopathy brings to the way in which the body functions helps to clarify the manner in which stresses can produce quite different effects in different people.
Have you ever focused sunlight through a magnifying glass to obtain a pinpoint of heat? If, in this metaphor, stress, in all its myriad forms, is represented by the light of the sun, then the focusing mechanism (the lens) is represented by the nervous system. Our attention must be on both aspects of this phenomenon, the stress factors, and how to avoid or minimize them, and the body systems which deal with stress, and in particular the nervous system, which to a large extent determines how the body will cope with it. No two people react to stress in the same way. Even under identical conditions, reactions and effects will vary. While it is important to know what stress is, and how the body reacts to it in general, more attention should be applied to the individual receiving the stress, the unique characteristics of whom will determine the end result.
Why does one person develop an ulcer, another diabetes and yet another high blood pressure? All these conditions might be the apparent result of similar stress patterns. It is obvious, therefore, that the stress factors do not themselves determine the response of the body. The unique make up and history of the individual is the determining factor in deciding just what aspects of the body will adapt or react in response to any stimulus or stress. Disease in the final analysis is the failure, on the part of the body, to adapt to, or cope with, the demands placed upon it by the total environment in which it lives. This includes demands of a stressful nature, whether internally generated or externally applied.
The 'Fight or Flight' Response
Stress is a word which is glibly used and which is often misused. It does not in fact have a single meaning, for it can encompass any real or potential stimulus, usually (but not always), of a noxious or unpleasant nature, to which the body or mind is subjected. This might include such varied factors as intense heat or cold, negative emotional states, inadequate nutrition, excessive noise, fear, drugs, pollution, pain, etc. Much stress is exogenous, that is it comes from outside the body, but it may often be endogenous, i.e. it is self-generated (hate, envy, fear, jealousy etc). Any stress factor can be the apparent cause of the reactions on the part of the mind/body complex of the individual. Such reactions are often described in terms of the 'fight or flight' response. This describes the primitive response to danger in which immediate preparation is made by the body to defend itself (fight) or run away (flight). The generally accepted reasoning is that since such responses are often socially unacceptable (it is not done to hit out physically or to run away in most stressful situations) the various physiological responses which accompany arousal to fight or flight become, with repetition, the apparent cause of a great deal of physical and mental ill health. A large number of physical changes take place at times of stress induced arousal. These include: the brain and nervous system becomes intensely active, the pupils of the eyes dilate, there is a slowing of the digestive process (which usually stops) the saliva stops and the mouth becomes dry, muscles tense in preparation for activity and the heart pumps blood harder and faster in anticipation of the extra activity; blood pressure rises; breathing becomes faster, to the point of gasping; hormones such as adrenaline are released into the system, as is glucose (from the liver); sweating commences in response to the need to cool the body etc. All this and more is accomplished in a split second under the direction and control of the nervous system.

British made titanium wedding rings
The BEST! Quality gold or silver inlay titanium wedding rings made in the UK. Precious metal wedding rings such as 18ct gold or platinum can prove to be very expensive if you find that you are on a tight budget. The global economic downturn has meant that we are all having to save that little bit extra on expenses, but how do you save money on something like a wedding ring? Your wedding rings are an essential purchase and must, of course, be just right to your tastes, and we don't like to think that you need to compromise on quality, even if your budget is tight.
Gold wedding rings can be pricey
When searching for wedding rings the first thing couples look at are gold wedding rings. We all know how expensive gold is these days (especially 18ct) and while its price continues to fluctuate, we believe that one day it will rocket again to sky-high levels.
Wedding rings made of titanium and gold
However, there is no substitute for gold really, and a wedding isn't a wedding without a gold ring on your finger. If you have set your heart on gold, but your budget simply won't stretch to it then why not consider our titanium wedding rings, that is a titanium ring that comes inlaid with gold. What this means is a high-quality titanium band that has a central strip of gold inlaid into its surface.
We sell a huge amount of these styles of titanium wedding rings. They come in two profiles either flat or domed and can come in any width and finish. One of the nicest we think however is the wire brush finish, very contemporary. Incidentally, the gold also comes in differing widths, so again you can work with your desired budget.

Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
My grandmother has just found out she has acute myeloid leukemia. I was wondering why she couldn't just have new blood put into her system. (Through one of the machines that cleans your blood when you have kidney problems...you could take out the blood like you were cleaning the blood and then put in "new" blood.)
Thank you for you time.
Bradley Somer, MD, OncoLink editorial assistant, responds:
Dear J.,
T hat is an excellent question. Unfortunately, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia is not that simple to manage. Although the bad cells, which cause problems, circulate in the blood stream, the main problem is that she is producing abnormal cells in the bone marrow, which is where the disease really is. However you are absolutely right. There are situations where the white blood cells become so dangerously high that we do a procedure called plasmapharesis where we take out the bad blood and give good blood. This however, is temporary, as the bone marrow continues to be bad and produce abnormal cells, thus further therapy is always required.
