text: On March 19, eight men at Fort Hood, Texas, fired assault rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers as aircraft fitted with forward-looking infrared cameras collected images. Officials hope that the images from the tests will end speculation that agents from the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms fired into the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993, setting the fire that killed more than 80 people. The IR cameras, including one that is virtually identical to that used at the Waco standoff, collected images over a target area that included reflective metal and glass debris and water, simulating the conditions of the Davidian compound. Video cameras on the ground recorded range-firing operations throughout the tests. Each side of the wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Davidian family members against the federal government initially claimed that the results substantiate its position. According to a report in the Dallas Morning News on March 21, they since have agreed that the digital images they received are inadequate for accurate analysis and have requested access to the analog video recording of the tests. Following the tests, US Federal District Court Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. in Waco ordered that the tapes be sealed from the media and the general public. He gave the court expert, Vector Data Systems (UK) Ltd. of Huntingdon, UK, 30 days to complete its own analysis. Technical experts from both sides of the debate have been invited to present the results of their research at a special session at SPIE's annual meeting in San Diego, which will be held July 30 to Aug. 4.

Solid start of Quick-Step Floors in Spain
Our team rode to third place in the Orihuela time trial, stopping the clock in 44:06.
David De La Cruz, Laurens De Plus, Philippe Gilbert, Iljo Keisse, Yves Lampaert, Daniel Martin, Zdenek Stybar and Niki Terpstra were the eight Quick-Step Floors riders to roll down the ramp for stage 1 of Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, which consisted of one of the toughest team time trials of the year, a 37.9-km one on up-and-down roads, a course which was expected to create some important gaps between the general classification contenders.
One of the last squads to get things underway in the small town of Orihuela, the host of the inaugural stage of the 68th edition, the Quick-Step Floors boys found their rhythm early and had a strong ride on this brutal opening stage of the Spanish event, setting at one point the best time at the arrival, 44:06, at an average speed of 51.565 km/h. Eventually, the squad finished in third place, behind BMC and Team Sky, but ahead of many teams which came with high hopes of making a good GC, a result that bodes well ahead of the next stages.
First one of these is scheduled Thursday, between Alicante and Denia, when five categorized climbs will be on the menu.

For Faculty and Staff
The Iowa State University Veterans Center is here to help you better understand and relate to student Veterans, military personnel and their families. Unlike traditional university students, student Veterans are typically older and face challenges similar to those of adult and non-traditional students, but with the added dimension that comes with being a Veteran. They may have different stressors than their younger peers. Veterans face challenges such as adjusting to life as a student after several years away, taking on a full college course load while fulfilling the adult obligations of providing for a family, and coping with the mental stresses and physical wounds of combat service. However, they also bring with them unique and rich experiences that contribute to the classroom.
Page Contents
Who is a Veteran?
In many cases, students identified as Veterans at Iowa State University are those receiving Veterans educational benefits at the state or federal level, but we do not limit the use of the term or our services only to those Veterans.
Generally speaking, a Veteran is someone who has served in one of the five branches of the US Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard). The term Veteran is often applied to an individual who has honorably completed a specific term of service and has been discharged from his or her service obligation; however, the term also applies to those individuals currently serving on Active Duty, as well as those fulfilling their obligation in the Reserves or National Guard.
Veterans bring a variety of skills and experiences to the University. Basic military and technical training received through the Armed Forces instills service members with a strong sense of discipline and teamwork. Student Veterans are a resource for enhancing classroom dialogue and bringing firsthand perspectives to course content.
Who to Contact with Questions about a Student Veteran?
If you have any questions or concerns about student Veterans that you are working with, please contact our staff.
What are the University Policies Regarding Missing Class for Military Service?
Many student Veterans at Iowa State are still fulfilling service obligations either in Active Duty, the Reserves, or the National Guard. University policy provides accommodation for these students in the event they are mobilized or receive orders that incidentally conflict with their course schedules. Faculty and staff members who work with student Veterans are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the relevant policies and regulations.
Attendance policy
Leaving for Active Duty
Beyond policy, empathy, understanding, and a willingness to work with student Veterans, military personnel and their families always works best. Contact Veteran Services Coordinator Jathan Chicoine at 515-294-9801, or at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions or concerns.
Where to find Articles and Resources Regarding Veterans in Higher Education?
Sources of information and research related to Veterans issues are available through the following Veteran, government and nonprofit organization websites.
- US Department of Veterans Affairs
- Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs
- Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America
- Vietnam Veterans of America
- Student Veterans of America
- Veterans of Foreign Wars
- American Legion
- Military One Source
What Best Practices Exist for Working with Veterans in the Classroom?
The unique circumstances and non-traditional backgrounds student Veterans bring to the University sometimes create challenges and potential sources of conflict or discomfort for both the Veteran and the University employee. Our office is constantly on the lookout for resources and guidelines to help faculty and staff effectively engage student Veterans and understand their needs, expectations, and points-of-view.
One such resource is a document that the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs developed to provide insights and guidelines for working with student Veterans in the classroom: Veteran Guidelines and Best Practices in the Classroom (downloadable PDF, used with author's permission).

Hillary for Vice President?
The movement is gaining traction.
As President Obama sinks in the polls, Democrats and liberal pundits inevitably are searching for a scapegoat. The most likely victim appears to be gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden, who has become the focus of speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just might replace him on the 2012 Democratic ticket.
Former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder, his state's first African-American governor, touched off the controversy. Writing at Politico.com last week, Mr. Wilder argued that Mr. Biden's tenure has been undistinguished...

This Is the Easiest Way to Get Your Grilled Cheese Fix
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a lunchtime staple, but since you can only fit one or two in a pan at a time, they're not the most time-efficient option when you want to make a big batch. Enter: grilled cheese roll-ups.
This is the fastest, easiest way to feed grilled cheese sandwiches to a hungry crowd. (Even if that hungry crowd is a party of one … aka just you.)
All you have to do is take slices of soft sandwich bread, roll them out to a quarter-inch thickness, top them with cheddar cheese, roll them up tightly, and then brown them on all sides in a large skillet generously greased with butter.
These roll-ups are best served immediately (while they're still warm). And yes, they do make excellent tomato-soup dunkers, in case you were wondering.

Messianic Judaism (A Modern Movement with An Ancient Past)
Title: Messianic Judaism (A Modern Movement with An Ancient Past)
Author: David H. Stern
Pages: 321
Year: 2007
Publisher: Messianic Jewish Publisher
My rating 4 out of 5 stars.
A friend and I were getting together weekly to discuss various chapters in the book. One thing we quickly observed was that the book was ten years old and therefore a lot had changed in the Messianic community since the book was published. So, we looked at the book with more of a historical perspective and for what we could learn about Messianic Judaism and the people.
We also observed that at times the author seemed inconsistent with his views almost as if he wasn't settled with the issue he lays forth. The other observation was that the author had some kind of heart wound about Christians in the past that we didn't quite grasp why he brought it up in the book. There were some interesting ideas, views and thoughts that were quite interesting. We both hope that the author will update this book because there has been such an explosion of Messianic material and more happening with the relationship between Christians and Jewish people.
When you read the book with discernment, glean what you can about the Messianic Community and how the bridge can be made between Christians and Jewish people. My friend and I both love Israel and the Jewish people and desire to learn more about the Jewishness of the Scriptures, land and people. We hope you will join us on this quest that has really opened our eyes and heart to the chosen people of God, and His Word!

for the opening of the latest installment of its popular "Kansas City Flatfile" show.
Scope it out Friday night, and plan to return to peruse dozens of drawings, paintings, prints and photographs housed in flat file cabinets.
It's a great place to find affordable art and support local talent — selections range from works by established artists includingJohnny Naugahyde, Deanna Dikeman, Larry Thomas and Garry Noland, to recent Art Institute graduates such as Luke Firle, Cory Imig and Matt Jacobs
A changing selection of works from the Flatfile will appear on the gallery walls. The first group will be chosen by Block Artspace staff; after that director Raechell Smith has invited various regional arts professionals, curators and artists to pick works for display.
"This is always an opportunity for me to get curators to commit some time to looking at art by Kansas City artists," she said, "and there are some new folks in the region."
For this year's Flatfile, Smith has added an exhibit in the second floor resource room. "Flatfile Redux" will feature a selection of works from Kansas City collections that were acquired from previous Flatfiles.
"It's a fun way to highlight and encourage collecting and see what's in people's collections," Smith said.
The 2012 Kansas City Flatfile will also feature a "Videofile," of works viewers can choose to screen.'Neutral Space'
TheSpray Booth Gallery has framed "Neutral Space," its coming group show of geometric art, with a provocative essay by 2010 Kansas City Art Institute graduate Neil Thrun
Headed "Neutral spaces, Empty Geometry: Why All Artists Need to Re-engage With Ideology," the essay examines some of the critical ideas and positions expounded by geometric artists, from Kasimir Malevich to Peter Halley, to the Slovenian IRWIN collective.
It's an area that Thrun has been interested in since he was in school, where he created works of geometric painting and collage. Now, he said, "I mainly do video and performance-based art involved with the history of the avant-garde and the 20th century."
"Neutral Space" will include works by 14 artists, includingEmily Sall, Elliot Oliver, Mike Erickson and Nicole Mauser
, selected by Spray Booth director Andrew Lyles.
Lyles, a former classmate of Thrun's, invited him to write two essays for the show.
The artists had not been chosen at the time Thrun wrote his initial essay, in which he contends, "Unlike the history of geometric art in the avant-garde, today no one in Kansas City seems interested in the ideology of their predecessors."
Thrun argues that "our culture of individualism has killed the will to be ideological (to take a stand)," and that "artists need to re-engage with ideology."
"Otherwise," he warns, "we will be stuck making neutral spaces, work that is ideologically empty and without consequence, while drinking free alcohol and half-heartedly congratulating each other."
The essay in its entirety is posted on the gallery's website,sprayboothgallery.com
, where Thrun will eventually post his second essay addressing the specific artists — and works in the show.Kemper at the Crossroads
New York artistPetah Coyne's mammoth sculpture, "Untitled #1336 (Scalapino Nu Shu)" (2009-10), the centerpiece of a recent permanent collection exhibit at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, has a new home. On Friday, it can be seen at its new location — a specially created gallery in the museum's downtown branch, Kemper at the Crossroads
, 33 W. 19th St.
Coyne's work joins an ongoing exhibit of sculptures, "Here's Your Hat, What's Your Hurry?," by Brooklyn-basedEric Fertman.

If you need proof that Dick Clark still rules New Year's Eve, here it is.
If you need proof that Dick Clark still rules New Year's Eve, here it is.
On New Year's Eve, ABC is devoting its entire prime-time and late-night schedule to the 82-year-old Clark and his various specials that have greeted new years over the past four decades. The evening kicks off with "New Year's Rockin' Eve: The 40th Anniversary Party" (8-10 p.m. Saturday).
Jenny McCarthy and Fergie recollect how the fashion and music have changed vastly in 40 years, but the merrymaking is still the same.
Moving onward to the present, "Dick Clark's Primetime New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest," at 10 p.m., features Clark with Seacrest in Times Square. Musical guests range from Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber to the Band Perry.
The "Rockin'" party will continue through 2:13 a.m. (Why it ends at exactly 2:13 a.m. is never really explained. Maybe Clark turns into a pumpkin at 2:14 a.m.?)
Clark doesn't have the monopoly on the celebrating. Other offerings include "American Country New Year's Live" (11 p.m. Saturday, Fox). The special, which comes from Las Vegas, has performances from Lauren Alaina ("American Idol") and Rodney Akins.
Rock band Coldplay will headline "Austin City Limits" as a new-year special (11 p.m. Saturday, PBS), and Carson Daly will be on hand, representing NBC, with his annual special from New York City (10 p.m. Saturday).
Other highlights for the week of Dec. 25-31 (check local listings):
"The Ultimate Gift" (8 p.m., Hallmark Channel). A spoiled man must find meaning in his life before he can claim his inheritance. "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (8:30 p.m., ABC). Jim Carrey's live-action version of the animated classic is hardly reason for cheer, but, after a hard day of opening gifts and overeating, it will do.
"The 34th annual Kennedy Center Honors" (9 p.m., CBS). In this special taped at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Opera House in Washington, D.C., Neil Diamond, Yo-Yo Ma and Meryl Streep are among the honorees. "Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan" (10 p.m., G4). In the season finale of the reality series, Ricky, Chase and Brad are pinned down in a Taliban firefight and must reach soldiers trapped inside a damaged vehicle. "Extreme Couponing: All-Stars" (10 p.m., TLC). Once again, the question must be asked: Is someone really considered a "star" just for cutting out coupons? I'm fairly certain this is not how the Kardashians got their start.
"NY Ink" (9 p.m., TLC). In the second season of this reality show, tattoo artist Ami James and his employees juggle a growing business — and find more money brings more problems. The second season will consist of 10 one-hour episodes. "Hook, Line and Sisters" (10 p.m., TLC). A crusty sea captain contends with his wife and two daughters in this new reality series.
"Twilight Zone" (8 p.m., SyFy). A marathon of the classic black-and-white supernatural series is rolled out for the evening. "Summer Heights High" (8 p.m., HBO2). The brilliant Australian comedy, shot as a fake documentary about life at a high school, is stacked up in a marathon.

In order to be divorced from your spouse in the state of North Carolina, you must live separate and apart from one another for at least one year, and at least one of the parties must have the intent to end the marriage on a permanent basis. After the year period has run, either party may petition the Court for a divorce from their spouse. Additionally, at least one of the spouses must live in the state of North Carolina for at least 6 months in order to file for a divorce in this state. It should be noted that living separate and apart from one another does not mean living in the same household, and in different rooms. Rather, it means living at separate addresses.
Furthermore, there cannot be a resumption of the marital relationship during the period of separation. Although isolated incidents of sexual intercourse between the parties does not constitute a resumption of the marital relationship, a voluntary renewal of the relationship on a more extensive basis may very well suffice as a resumption of the marital relationship. The effect of such a reconciliation would mean the parties would have to start the one year period over again if and when they separated once again.
Divorce in North Carolina
You may also notice that North Carolina is a "no-fault" state, meaning that in the dissolution of a marriage neither party has to prove fault by the other party in order to seek a divorce. Again, all that is required is that:
- the parties intend to be divorced from one another
- they live separate and apart from one another for one year
- one party has resided in the state of North Carolina for at least 6 months
Other aspects of divorce
Although there are many complex issues incident to a divorce (see below), obtaining the actual divorce decree from the Court can be a rather straightforward process with the right advice and attorney.
Choosing the Right Attorney
Before filing for a divorce, it is imperative that you consult with a reputable and knowledgeable attorney so that you are advised of the process in more detail, the possibility of resuming you maiden name (if applicable), and potentially preserving other claims that must be asserted before your divorce is finalized (equitable distribution and postseparation support/alimony).
Family Law
According to North Carolina Law, domestic violence occurs in one of the following ways:Attempting to cause or intentionally causing bodily injury to another. Placing someone (or a member of their family or household) in fear of imminent serious bodily injury or continued harassment ...

Tristan and Yseut rank up there with Lancelot and Guinevere for notorious/famous adulterous lovers. In fact, King Arthur even appears in this story, and in some versions, Tristan is an Arthurian knight. Despite this fame or infamy, I had never actually gone back to the beginning and read the original story, instead relying on references to the couple or reimaginings, or not so good James Franco movies.
A literature professor at one point was able to trace back all adaptions and versions of Tristan and Yseut to five different independent sources which appear to themselves trace back to one original lost version. They don't appear to take from each other but refer to many of the same stories, thus the lost originator idea. Of these, Beroul's version is commonly believed to be the oldest, and parts of it are missing so that the story here begins with summaries inspired from the other texts before taking up where the remaining text begins, and also ending with summaries as the conclusion of the story is also lost.
The story itself is simple, but I had a hard time wrapping my head around some of the specifics - what exactly is Berould trying to accomplish? Does he want us to see Tristan and Yseut as tragic figures, or is he mocking our ideas of love? For example, he constantly refers to a group of barons as evil and wicked when all they are doing is telling King Mark that his nephew is sleeping with his wife Yseut. In other words, they are telling the truth. There are other things they do in the text that clearly mark them as cowards, but are they evil? One critic suggests taking Beroul's declarations as truth since conventions of writing were different then, while others suggests viewing this with irony. When he talks about how virtuous Yseut is while she is in the middle of a tryst with Tristan, we aren't supposed to see them as unfortunate lovers, but instead use the distance Beroul's use of irony provides the reader to make independent judgments.
King Mark is clearly incompetent as he is much too trusting of his nephew and wife, constanly giving them the benefit of the doubt. When he finally is convinced of their guilt and called to action, he once again messes up, delivering judgment without trial.
Beroul's writing is dated to mid 12th century Norman France, meaning he would have fallen under the rule of King Henry II. While generally, the terms courtly love and chivalry refer to traditions developed around this time, Tristan and Yseut's relationship doesn't actually meet those conventions. Technically neither does that of Lancelot and Guinevere even though the term was first based on them since they actually consummate their relationship. Strictly speaking, courtly love, a term coined in the 19th century, refers unconsummated relationships where a knight worships a higher lady who looks at him with disdain, thus inspiring him to engage in various acts and quests. I actually saw one theory that discussed the Celtic origins of this story - though the poem was written in Norman France, and set in Cornwall, there may be a tie to the Picts of present day Scotland, which appears to have been matrilineal, and may have had less strict ideas of marriage. This argument suggests that the conflict in the text is between the patrilineal barons who want to deprive Tristan of his matrilineal inheritance as Mark's nephew when they convince Mark to marry.
Anyway, while the story itself is short and straightforward, it is greatly enhanced by what it may represent culturally and historically, and certainly leaves up lots of things to debate such as the nature of love, and whether Tristan and Yseut are actually good people. Can you tell that I have to write my final paper on this piece?

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sotera® Wireless, Inc. will share its vision for the possibilities of patient monitoring at the upcoming FutureMed conference being held at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, Calif., November 3 through November 6. The Company will demonstrate its groundbreaking ViSi Mobile® System and preview a concept for ambulatory surgery that transmits vital sign numerics, waveforms and alarms from the ViSi Mobile Monitor to Google Glass.
The ViSi Mobile System packs powerful patient monitoring capabilities into a lightweight, wrist-worn device ensuring clinicians anytime, anywhere access to accurate and trended vital sign information. With the addition of Sotera's newly FDA-cleared continuous non-invasive blood pressure (cNIBP) technology, the ViSi Mobile System is now the first body-worn monitor able to non-invasively measure all core vital signs on a beat-to-beat basis.
Currently the ViSi Mobile System is intended for patients in general medical/surgical hospital units, where the current practice of vital sign spot checks is believed to be the environmental factor most disruptive to patients' sleep. Authors of a recent study noted that sleep deprivation is prevalent among hospitalized patients and has been linked to unfavorable outcomes and low patient satisfaction.
Blood pressure, typically checked every four hours, is arguably the most uncomfortable and disruptive of all vital signs to obtain. Sotera's patented cNIBP will improve the patient comfort levels, since it eliminates the need to wake patients for routine cuff-based blood pressure checks.
"Increasingly, hospitals will be financially rewarded for quality of care, safety and patient satisfaction," said Dr. Gunnar Trommer, vice president marketing and business development for Sotera. "Technology that delivers vital information while eliminating unnecessary disruptions aligns with the drive to transform hospitals into gentler, safer places that provide the optimal conditions for healing."
Patient Monitoring during Surgery with Google Glass
In the future, Sotera plans to extend the use of the ViSi Mobile System to other application areas likely to benefit from mobility and access to accurate vital sign information. At FutureMed Sotera will display one of its early-stage concepts: streaming vital signs from the ViSi Mobile System to Google Glass.
Operating surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists will benefit from the heightened situational awareness gained from the hands-free Glass. Ambulatory surgery settings, where efficiency is key, are considered an ideal fit for such a marriage of technology.
"Wireless, continuous monitoring devices hold enormous promise, and will be an important part of the medical landscape in the very near future," says Dr. Oliver Aalami of Stanford University and co-founder of VitalMedicals. "Displaying contextually relevant information, such as patient vital signs, straight to Google Glass allows the surgeon to operate without missing a catastrophic change in the patient's condition."

We are in Cedar Park which is about 15 miles north of Austin and west-northwest of Round Rock. It is hilly and less developed than Austin with a great (Leander) school district. Our neighborhood is a planned community, much like our neighborhood in Houston, but not quite as big. It's adjacent to a city park, Brushy Creek, where there is a creek that is actually more river than creek, even in this Texas drought summer. There are trails, pavilions and a splash pad for kids, but the best part is there is a kayak and canoe rental place to explore the creek. We are excited for that outing!
Jack started back at work last week and is excited to be with the rest of the staff and in a more productive environment than our house. And with the house being about 90-95% set up and out of boxes, we are all feeling a bit back to normal. On tap this week is registering Claire and Anna for their schools, taking Claire for a sports physical so she can tryout for her school's volleyball team the first week of school, and hanging out with Meghan's bff, Natalie!!! Natalie is on the road to Austin as I type this and we are all excited to welcome her to our new place. (Natalie is also going to UT and will be moving to the campus here in about 3 weeks, so this will be her 2nd home when she wants to get away for a home-cooked meal or free laundry!)
We miss all our friends and neighbors in Houston, but it is really nice to be on the other side of this move....finally. We are excited to explore this new city and experience some new things. School is making the girls a little nervous (and I certainly can understand that having moved cross-country when I was in 6th grade), but they are acting like champs and embracing it with smiles and mild trepidation. (Taking Meghan to UNT, 3 hours north of Austin, in a short 3 weeks is a whole other post!)
Here are some pictures of our past week.
Meghan in her near-empty Houston room.
Anna checks out the moving van as the boxes are ready to load up.
Our garage filled with boxes and containers.
We loaded up two of these trucks with our belongings.
Meghan made this sign for our garage to hang the week before we moved.
Here is the motley crew now, including Lucy, our fat cat.
Here is Jack trying to do some work in the kitchenette area.
Jack and me in our new kitchen.
Boxes everywhere.
I'll post some more pictures of the house in a few days. We love it! It is quite different from our old house and we are enjoying some unique things about it. Okay, it's time for me to get rid of that other 10% of boxes around here!

Juniper Berry
Juniper berry is not actually a berry in the sense that berries are a form of fruit. However, the juniper berry is actually the seed cone of the juniper plant. There are many health benefits of juniper berries and it can be used as urinary antiseptic. Juniper berries can also be used for arthritis and slow healing wounds.
Due to the many juniper health benefits, these berries are used in treating a variety of ailments from rheumatism, arthritis, to cystitis and catarrh. The berries may also be crushed and applied topically to slow-healing wounds as they are a powerful antiseptic.
Washing joints with a tea made of juniper berries helps to relieve pain and soreness from them. Juniper extract is also used as an essential oil in aromatherapy. This essential oil has astringent properties and is helpful in treating toothaches and strengthening the gums.
It can also be used to retard hair fall. Among the many juniper health benefits are its carminative properties which make it one of the best natural cures for flatulence and gas. Massaging with the essential oil of juniper is the best way to get rid of unwanted aches and pains and skin infections.
The antibacterial elements of the oils were tested against several different strains of bacteria, including that from spoiled food, food-poisoning-related bacteria and both animal- and plant-based pathogens. Juniper oil inhibited bacteria's activity, showcasing its potential as an effective antibacterial tool.
The berries take two or three years to ripen. They will be blue-black with a whitish bloom, and are most aromatic when fresh. Be warned that birds are very fond of juniper berries, so all this may be theoretical unless you net the plant.
To prepare an infusion, 1 teaspoon of lightly crushed berries is added to a cup of boiling water, steeped for 20 minutes and drained.
You can drink the infusion two times daily. Juniper oil can also be added to a hot vapour bath to aid respiratory infections.

The Vinsanto
A symbol of traditional Tuscan hospitality, this wine is
nevertheless quite rare, often a real treat. Our Vinsanto
maintains the old habit of greeting and honoring guests and
friends with something special, even if the whole yearly
production is no more than a few thousand bottles.
What is Vinsanto dei Barbi?
it is made with 55%
"Trebbiano" grapes, 35% "Malvasia" and 10% "Sangiovese".
Vinification of ageing:
the grapes are collected in mid
September and then set to dry on special reed mats locally called
"graticci". Between late December and early January the juice
in the grapes is reduced to a very sugary syrup that reaches
18– 19° bé (parameter that indicates the proportion between
sugar and water level); at this stage the grapes are softly pressed
and then concentrated liquid liquid must is sealed together with
the "madrea" (literally "mother": natural yeasts produced
through decades and always kept alive) in small oaks casks (1 or
2 hl) called "Caratelli" for at leats three years. The Caratello is a
small wooden container that has always been used in Vinsanto
production as the place for all the biochemical transformations
the must goes through in the extremely lenghty period it
remains there. Afterwards the wine is separated from the
"madre" and aged again in smaller oak kegs (0.65 hl), before
being definitively bottlked.
Sensory analysis
Amber yellow colour. On the nose it has a
delicious and intensively aromatic bouquet with a broad suite of
fragrances: raisins, dried and candied fruits, walnuts and a
delicate hint of chestnut honey . It shows a finely bilance palate
whose sweetness never cloys thanks to fresh acidity and vibrant,
long-lingering aromas.
Serving suggestions
a wine to be sipped and enjoyed slowly,
at 14° – 15° C it perfectly matches with "Cantucci" (dry Tuscan
almond biscuits); at 10° – 12° C with savoury and mature
cheeses, liver based cold cuts and pâtè or on its own as a
meditation wine.
Capacity of ageing
Vinsanto dei Barbi can be kept for decades.
In our cellar we have a collection of bottles that dates back
to 1870.

text: When this punk rocker and this psychedelic surf enthusiast met in film school, they probably spent hours dissecting their favorite TV shows, movies, books and, most importantly, albums. Somewhere along the way, one of them might have tossed out the idea of writing something together. And from there, the Cults was born. With their love of technology, Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion defied the music industry model, self-releasing their first songs via Bandcamp. Pitchfork was an early fan and made sure to sit down with Brian, who revealed his old-school rock soul during the interview. "Back in the day, there was kind of a mystery to rock and roll, where you could look at album covers and imagine what their lives are like," explained Oblivion. "Now, we're not satisfied unless we know exactly what they do every day, who they are, where they live." But what you need to know about this band, they have given to us readily. Their exuberant overflowing sound makes it impossible to keep your feet planted while listening to their songs. But a darker side lurks beneath that jovial playfulness, as evidenced by this introduction to one of their songs, which they borrowed from infamous Jonestown figurehead Jim Jones: "To me, death is not a fearful thing. It's living that's treacherous." We heartily agree and cannot wait to hear where this young band goes in the future.

The Village of One
Posted byon
It takes just one person to truly set your dreams into action -- you!
We hear so many times that it takes a village to do this and a village to do that, but how many of us really look at the chief of the village? YOU are the one making your requests known in your circle of friends and colleagues, and you determine where and when you need assistance from the village.
As sole proprietors, we wear many hats. Production. Sales. Marketing. Accounting. Shipping. Web Master. Public Affairs. Charity. Custodian. And any other role you can think of. Many of us have a staff of 0-2, but need to recognize when we need additional assistance.
The following are a few of the village roles that I call upon on a regular basis:
The Event Coordinating Villager: These are VERY special people to me because they can take direction and not take it personal if I forget to say "Please and thank you" at every single request. They receive special love tokens at the close of an event, which often includes a dinner out. They are persons who have been in my village for years and always want to help and support where they can.
The Production and Packaging Villager: These are my volunteers who help out in a pinch with large orders, or short turn arounds. Typically this bunch gets lots of "thank yous" and on the spot appreciation for stepping in to help with a few days notice.
The Marketing and Collateral Council: My business would not be where it is today with these individuals and companies. This council ensures that our face of public image is properly portrayed without errors and in the right places. Most of these villagers are contracted or hired for specific tasks that involve marketing and or social media.
And don't forget the Town Criers: those who will sample just about anything you make or service and will share the news and goodies with others.
As your village or demand grows, it may be time to look at expanding which could be a full-time store front or service location.
Have you considered entrepreneurship?
Do you enjoy meeting new people?
Do you work well independently?
In the August 2015 issue of Oprah Magazine, there are eight self-quizzes (pages 100-111) to determine your strengths to help you identify and make the most of who you are.
And lastly, surround yourself with other entrepreneurs and learn from them. We are willing to assist, when schedules permit, and can also share useful resources that help the day-to-day run a little smoother.
So your homework is to take the quizzes, identify your village and go after your dreams!! My homework is to inspire you with Pour le Mieux product information, and entrepreneural morsels to help your business expand and grow!

Line6 M5 "Expression Knob" Mod
This one is a really easy mod; it's much easier than the previous dedicated scene select mod. The Line6 M-series are all capable of using an expression pedal to change parameters within a given model. Things like delay rate, mix level, tones, pretty much any parameter can be adjusted on the fly using Line6's expression pedal or any expression pedal that uses a 10k linear potentiometer (so, Ernie Ball VP, VP Jr. are out, as are standard Mission Engineering pedals.) The Line 6 expression pedal is quite simple, using only a 10k potentiometer between the tip and sleeve of a regular 1/4″ connector. When the potentiometer is all the way "up" then you can set the maximum parameter value, when it's all the way "down" you can set the minimum value. This video shows you how to set these (and happens to use a knob as well).

I just returned from teaching at the Hooked On Wire Retreat. What a blast! The students were great, the projects were great, the hotel was great....pretty great time! I will be taking pictures this week of my demo samples. But for now, here is one.
One of the perks of this retreat is all the project are brand new. So as instructors, we have to come up with a new project and then teach it to 30-48 people without having ever taught it.....hummmm, sometimes that doesn't go so well. But this weekend, it went great. As I demo'ed I came up with more and more ideas. The room was buzzing with creativity.
I wil be teaching the bracelet at Bead Fest Santa Fe at the end of March, and as a 7 hour workshop at the Bead&Button Show in the beginning of June. I will also be teaching this pendant (this exact pendant in this picture) at the Bead&Button Show as a 3 hour class.
Thanks to all the lovely ladies (and lovely David!) who came to the retreat this year. I hope you had as much fun as I did :)

A couple nights ago I was looking over the UEFI spec, and I realized it shouldn't be too hard to write UEFI applications in Rust. It turns out, you can, and here I will tell you how.
Language gets me giddy, but thank god lots of other people get giddy over stuff like this.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
It's actually worse, because it's not even UTF. It's just stupid UCS-2 limited to 16 bits. So it's a mistake on top of a mistake.
The UEFI code signing structures are also MS-derived, to the point where the structure members start with 'win'.
There's two different 16-bit unicode encodings:
UCS-2 uses two bytes per character, and can thus encode codepoints up to 65536 (the Basic Multilingual Plane, BMP - also known as plane 0).
UTF-16 uses two bytes per character, but also has escape codes that can be used to encode 32-bit codepoints.
UEFI uses UCS-2. On the positive side, it's easy to work with (strings take fixed amounts of space, and it's trivial to cut/paste at positions that leave valid strings), and the lower 64k of unicode still covers enough to cover all modern languages. It's also got decent language support - even C has wchar (for a 16 or 32bit single character) and supporting functions.
On the negative side, it can't encode the higher planes of unicode (which would allow e.g. using unicode symbols instead of bitmaps ; the emojis are encoded in plane 1), and it's considered obsolete, superceded by UTF-16. There's also some extensions to the CJK range; I don't honestly know if those are in daily use or if they're historical variants for scholarly purposes.
Everything considered, UCS-2 isn't a horrible choice for something like this, since it's simple to work with while still covering all the characters needed to present text in currently-used languages (modulo the CJK extensions - but I suspect those aren't required for decent enough everyday Chinese/Japanese/Korean.)
Edited 2013-11-20 14:21 UTC
"Thanks, Microsoft, you pushed for that, now we'll have another 20+ years of legacy UTF-16 strings."
Like others said, it uses UCS-2, which was the standard text coding used up through windows 2000.
Another example of mandated legacy microsoft tech in the UEFI standard is FAT32. It's reasonable to support fat32 on the basis that's it's already common for removable media (aka thumb drives). However it's a real shame UEFI didn't include a standard vendor neutral file system like UDF to provide a non-breaking migration path away from FAT32. Even windows already supports UDF disks formatted elsewhere. Paint me unsurprised, now we're stuck with legacy FAT32 due to UEFI compatibility restraints.

10 things you should never say to your spouse during a fight
liberate Sandy, UTFeb. 15, 2014 1:45 a.m.
One thing that is not on this list but probably should be is something along the lines of "Remember when you...". My wife start doing that sometimes but she always wins because I have a horrible memory and she can remember every single detail of every hurtful thing I have done. To her credit, I've given her much more material than she has to me.
Brent T. Aurora CO Aurora, COFeb. 14, 2014 4:34 p.m.
Have done all 10 (as well as shades of the other six mentioned above). And we argue most every day. In our 35th happy year of marriage. But we're vocal, opinionated and honest. Not that we don't believe there are couples who never argue. That must be possible. But kind of weird and passive/boring.
FYI is correct. Normal people argue and it's normal to argue. The important thing is the resolution.
As to #1, we like that one. When we start to plan how that would happen it gets very complicated. We just always conclude it isn't worth the hassle. Like the Blues Brothers sang -- "it's cheaper to keep her."
San Diego Chargers Fan San Diego, CAFeb. 14, 2014 12:43 p.m.
Husbands can avoid all of this by simply stating the following: "You are right, honey. I am and always was wrong, but now I understand and will go along with whatever you decide."
Problem solved. Happy couple.
utahflyer Salt Lake City, UTFeb. 12, 2014 1:04 p.m.
Friendly grammar correction to #4. "You are a (insert negative noun)" would be correct grammar. Either that or you could write "You are (insert negative adjective)." Just a friendly observation.
Ilovethejjs medford, MAFeb. 12, 2014 10:46 a.m.
I hear these 10 things almost every day. After 36-years of marriage, I stopped listening to my husband. It's sad because his rage has been handed down from his parents. His brothers are the same way. The acrimony and vile words are like a rot that seeps into a family.
I divorced him for 10 years and re-married him when he said he sought help. Now I just don't care. I think apathy is worse than hate.
Some women tell me they are lonely because they never married and live alone. I sympathize with them but reply, "You don't have to be alone to be lonely."
Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CAFeb. 12, 2014 9:52 a.m.
#16 "Now that you mention it, that dress does make you look kinda fat. Why don't you roll on off to the gym?"
1covey Salt Lake City, UTFeb. 12, 2014 9:07 a.m.
In front of your children: Avoid, if possible- resolution usually take time. Afterward, both parents can together explain their problem and how they resolved it without being emotionally damaging. Personally, I am beginning to think that if there is a situation where some kind of confrontation is developing, close your mouth, until you can think of a way to resolve the situation. It takes two to argue. Maybe say: "I'm sorry - let me think about it."
Back Talk Federal Way, WAFeb. 12, 2014 7:47 a.m.
#14 that vow to be obedient was only if you acted with half a brain and / or followed all of the Lords commandments. Enough said.
#15 are you still mad about that?
Bifftacular Spanish Fork, UtFeb. 11, 2014 7:00 p.m.
Other not-so-good things to say....
#11 "If I were to die, would you let your next wife use my golf clubs?" "No, she's left-handed".
#12 "If you'll recall, our marriage vows stated you will be a obedient wife, now would be a good time to honor that".
#13 "Are you still talking"?
george of the jungle goshen, UTFeb. 11, 2014 5:38 p.m.
All I can say is memories, haunting spirits that hurt the heart.
FYI Taylorsville, UTFeb. 11, 2014 5:33 p.m.
"Never argue in front of your kids."
There is nothing wrong with children seeing their parents have disagreements/arguements as long as they also see how their parents resolve those disagreements. I have seen too many young newly married couples that are concerned that they have disagreements, wondering what is wrong with their relationship because their parents "never argued." It's not the arguing that is the problem, but the way in which couples argue and resolve.

Mother and Father didn't argue in front of us and I appreciate that. Nowadays there are more arguments between husband and wife and exponentially more divorces. I think that having a predictable role and expectation in marriage helps; there is less of that today.
All this talk about equality: it hasn't helped to make the man always wrong instead of always right.
MCS Provo, UTFeb. 11, 2014 3:21 p.m.
My parents are happily married and I haven't seen them fight in years, but I still remember -- more than 20 years later -- a really nasty fight they had in front of us kids. It was awful. Thinking about it still makes me feel terrible, and I don't even remember what it was about. NEVER argue in front of your kids!

Rarely do we see an American TV advertisement we like. They're usually dummed-down, goofy things that might appeal to eight-year olds. They usually talk down to kids, missing the whole upside.
When it comes to Japanese ads, however, an immense amount of creative and witty humor spring forth that occasionally gaps cultural differences between East and West. Sega's new Shinobi ad appeals to both Western and Eastern tastes and gets its message across perfectly, though the directorial vision was supplied by Brett Ratner, director of actions movies Rush Hour, Red Dragon and of the upcoming remake of Superman.
We have it here, in case you haven't been able to see it on TV. Check it and enjoy.

One more thing if I may?
How can anybody say I am a creationist if I hold my viewpoint?
I feel I probably come closer to PZ and Dawkins on public policy.
My original post was about people on the web calling me a creationist.
-Dave C
PS, I hope George is ok with allowing me to disagree with him? I'm fine
with him believing what he does, I just don't want TE in my kids classroom.
I don't want theism in my kids classroom. I don't want the school to have
ANY opinion. If this makes the whole ASA angry, so be it. Kick me out if
you must. But don't call me a creationist, please. ;)

Fragment 01 - Poem by Simonides
WHEN, upon the well-wrought chest,
Fiercely heat the howling wind,
And the oceans heaving breast
Filled with terror DanaCs mind ;
All in tears, her arm she throws
Over Perseus, as he lay
0, my babe, she said, what woes
On thy mothers bosom weigh!
Thou dost sleep with careless breast,
Slumbering in this dreary home,
Thou dost sweetly take thy rest,
In the darkness and the gloom.
In thy little mantle there,
Passing wave thou dost not mind,
Dashing oer thy clustering hair,
Nor fhe voices of the wind.
Yet if thou, my beauteous one!
Felt the weight of this deep woe,
Not unconscious would my son
Hear his mothers sorrows now.
Yet sleep on, my babe, I pray,
Sleep thou too, tumultuous deep
And th unmeasured cares that stay
On my heart,let them too sleep!
Father Jove! I ask of thee,
Vain their evil counsels make!
And, though bold the prayer may be,
Right my wrongs, for Perseus sake.

Indore, Sep 14 (PTI) Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has slapped a notice on its coach Kripa Shanker Patel, an Arjun awardee, who had trained Aamir Khan in wrestling for his Bollywood flick Dangal, for equating it to a mule in his social media post.
WFI has given a weeks time to the 40-year-old wrestler to reply.
"I have not replied to the notice yet," Patel told PTI today.
However, the wrestler stood his ground saying what he has done, it was in the interest of wrestling.
"If somebody is hurt with my post I apologise to him," he added.
On a social networking site, on September 12, Patel said that the United World Wrestling tweaked some important rules in wrestling but WFI hasnt endorsed them wholly.
"Do you know that in Gujarats Kutch there was an animal mule - the offspring of a donkey and a horse. Yes, WFI has endorsed the tweaked rules in this manner," his post on social media read. PTI HWP LAL RMT

All stroke patients are called for an annual assessment by their GP practice, which is usually carried out by a practice nurse who has undergone specialist stroke training; designed not only to measure physical factors such as blood pressure and coagulation levels, but also mental well being such as depression and anxiety (which is very common following stroke). In addition, the assessment will look at lifestyle and behavioural factors related to stroke, such as diet, exercise, alcohol consumption and smoking.
If a practice nurse is concerned that you are not progressing as well as expected, have developed new problems or appear to be deteriorating, they will be able to directly refer you to a Primary Care Stroke Therapy Team for more detailed assessment, treatment and support.
What happens at the clinic?

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139
Plane-strain contact analysis is presented for compositionally graded materials with power-law strain hardening. The half-space, y ≤ 0, is modeled as an incompressible, nonlinear elastic material. The effective stress, σe , and the effective total strain, εe , are related through a power-law model, σe = K0εeμ; 0 < μ ≤ min (1, (1 + k)). The material property K0 changes with depth, |y|, as K0 = A|y|k; A > 0, 0 ≤ |k| < 1. This material description attempts to capture some features of the plane-strain indentation of elastoplastic or steady-state creeping materials that show monotonically increasing or decreasing hardness with depth. The analysis starts with the solution for the normal line load (Flamant's problem) and continues with the rigid, frictionless, flat-strip problem. Finally, the general solution of normal indentation of graded material by a convex, symmetric, rigid, and frictionless two-dimensional punch is given. Applications of the present results range from surface treatments of engineering structures, protective coatings for corrosion and fretting fatigue, settling of beam type foundations in the context of soil and rock mechanics, to bioengineering as well as structural applications such as contact of railroad tracks.

text: I was wondering if anyone else thought that maybe when Jetfire combines with Prime, it might be in some way a kind of permanent change to Prime? Maybe since Jetfire might be so old, he sort of sacrifices himself to add to Prime and then Prime permanently becomes some flying jet-truck (much cooler looking than it sounds, of course). Maybe the Matrix helps combine the two. It would be a huge upgrade, as he would be one character and the only flying Autobot in the series thus far. It just seems like a major crutch if Prime always has to have Jetfire around to become Super-Prime. I don't know, wierd random thought. If this has been brought up before, I'm sorry - I'm an unoriginal bastard.

Fabulous Flyers
Flyers or Leaflets are amazing. No really, we love them and sell more flyers than any other product… for good reason. They are the essential marketing tool, allowing our customers to get their message to a massive audience at a super low price.
We like to think that we know a thing or two about marketing with flyers and so have put together our buying guide to help you create the best flyer campaign possible.
You've heard of the 5Ws right?
Who, what, when where & why - these are the basic principles of marketing. Do you know who your potential customer is? What type of customer are they - business, consumer, retail? When / Where are you targeting them - at home, at work, during leisure time? Why are you marketing to them? Answering these questions alone will help you greatly in targeting your potential market.
[b]Tell us why?
[/b]We don't presume to know your business - yet! So tell us your motives for using flyers. Is it to get more business? Maybe you want to retain current customers or increase the profitability of certain products. You could possibly be announcing a change of location……we all dream of that office in the Bahamas too!
If the success of this flyer was measured in one specific goal, what would it be?
Make it Special!
You know the difference between a good and a bad leaflet right? Below are two examples of leaflets we have seen in the last few months. Don't worry, we have permission to show them both. Which one are you more likely to act upon?
On the bad example (we presume you know which one that is), there is little more than basic contact details and a few of the services the company provides. On the other example, this company make best use of both sides, has a clearly targeted offer and has included a timed incentive. Which do you prefer?
[b]I Want it, What Now?
[/b]That's it, you've got them hooked. How does the customer find our more, or purchase this offer or service? Really spell this out for them. "Ring us on 0208 XXXX XXX for more information." Call into our showroom for a test-drive." These examples give definitive next step for the customer.
How Do I Get the Message Out?
You will laugh at this, but we have had customers who didn't want to give out their flyers because they cost too much. Thankfully when they became our customer this issue was resolved. There is any number of distribution options available: There are discounted mail companies who provide highly targeted distribution to your customer database. This is probably the more expensive option (bar driving around the country yourself).
Designed by Designers
We're not electricians, and for the most part we'll never touch anything electrical. Though we have been know to struggle with lightbulbs for the most part. Kaizen Print Ltd started life as a design and marketing agency and that is where our strength lies. Design is so critical in your flyer campaign, it can mean the difference between success and complete failure. Failure costs you money, success makes you money.
Next Steps?
If you've decided that a flyer campaign is right for you, the first thing to do is to speak to us. We'll ask you pretty much everything above and grasp a great understanding of your needs and wants. After that if you're still happy, we'll get the design brief to you. The more information you present to us, the better we're armed to create you flyer.
