Green Room Rockers Release New Self-Titled Album: Collection of Soul and R&B Produced By Dave Hillyard of The Slackers
Lafayette, Indiana's very own Green Room Rockers (GRR) have just released a new self-titled album and with it they are making their case to be one of the brightest American ska bands on the scene. The record, which is the follow-up to their 2007 debut 'Hoosier Homegrown' was produced by Dave Hillyard of The Slackers, which adds to its bona fides.
The band hooked up with Hilyard when he e-mailed them an offer to collaborate in July of 2008. According to the band, it was a 2 sentence e-mail that said 'Hey, if you guys ever need a producer, give me a call'. The band took The Slackers saxophonist up on his offer and Hillyard flew into Lafayette from New York a couple times during the recording process, which spanned two years. Hillyard offered an ear that the band could trust and suggestions for song arrangements and performed on the instrumental dub 'Exit 178'.
Hillyard's influence is clear as GRR have experimented with a sound that comes close to where The Slackers and other band's influenced by them (The Forthrights) are taking American ska in the 21st Century, which is towards a rootsier, more 60's R&B sound with a definite emphasis on soul and blues. While most of the songs on the album retain a Jamaican-influence (a la Toots & The Maytals), there are a lot of songs that are a departure from the band's original rocksteady sound. Among the 14 tracks -- and two hidden tracks if you get the CD -- are a mix of familiar tunes, new songs and a few covers. Many of the songs have been road-tested and by playing them live over and over, the band perfected them before they were recorded. Of the batch 'You and I' offers the best example of the new GRR sound. Below is a video of the band performing the song in front of a hometown crowd.
The album will be front and center on a 16-day midwestern tour GRR are doing with The Slackers through most of October and planning for a European tour is also underway. The album will be available via Jumpuprecords.com, GreenRoomRockers.com, Itunes, and Rhapsody. A limited edition, green vinyl version will also be available from Jump Up Records in November 2010.
The band is on the road in the U.S. and Canada during October with The Slackers. Try and catch them if you can.

Who Is Marco On The Bass?
Marco On The Bass
South Orange, NJ, United States
I heard ska and reggae music for the first time when I was 14 and it was love at first listen. I loved the sound, the look and the energy. It changed my life. A little bit later I picked up a bass and taught myself to play and in 1988 started the first ska/reggae band from New Jersey called Bigger Thomas. Maybe you've heard of us? As a musician I've had the good luck to meet and play with most of my musical heroes. That allows me to give readers the inside scoop on all the bands they love. I also tell the stories of the many bands who helped popularize ska in the U.S. and the U.K. I pay special attention to the birth of American ska and the stories of the bands and musicians who were ahead of their time and never received the recognition they deserved. I recently helped to form two new musical projects -- Rude Boy George, a band that performs ska, reggae and rocksteady versions of 80's new wave songs and Heavensbee, an original studio project that makes dub pop. I'm also writing a book titled "Ska Boom: An Oral History About The Birth Of American Ska & Reggae 1976-1991" that will be published by DiWulf Publishing in 2020.
Rude Boy George - Love & Dancing -- New Wave Goes Ska!
I play bass in Rude Boy George -- a band the plays ska and reggae versions of 80's new wave classics. We've been releasing a song and video every other month during 2016 and 2017. The collection of songs is titled "Love and Dancing" and it is the second collection of 80's new wave tracks that Rude Boy George has recorded in a ska and reggae style. Check out a few of our videos including a new wave/reggae version of the Blondie classic "Atomic" and our versions of songs by Howard Jones, Bob Marley, Kim Wilde, Wang Chung, The Cure and Soft Cell! "Love and Dancing" pays homage to the Human League who had a side project called The League Unlimited Orchestra and released a remix of their "Dare" album with that title in the early 80's. The album is available on Bandcamp. Love and Dancing by Rude Boy George
RUDE BOY GEORGE LIVE!
Want to see Marco On The Bass perform with Rude Boy George (ska, reggae and rocksteady versions of 80's new wave songs)? Below is a list of upcoming US and UK shows:
Heavensbee - Dub Pop
Heavensbee is a reggae/ska collective featuring myself and Roger Apollon Jr of ska/reggae groups Bigger Thomas &Rude Boy George and features Carolyn Coleman (The 1865) and Dunia Best Sinreich (Agent 99, Dubistry) Our latest album includes collaborations with Jenny Whiskey (Hub City Stompers), Robert Tierney (NY Citizens), Olivier Rhee (The Boilers), Ruben Rios and Rob Gainfort (The Steadys) The result was "We Mean Business"
Check out the video for our debut single "Rude! Original! Suave!"
Heavensbee has recorded two albums, The first is "Soul Mates" released in 2015 which was followed by "we Mean Business" in 2020. The songs take their inspiration from ska, dub reggae and Lover's Rock (The Specials, Lee Perry), 80's new wave (Depeche Mode, Human League, Fun Boy Three) and indie rock (Lana Del Ray, the xx).

Bigger Thomas
Bigger Thomas is celebrating 33 years in 2018! Below is video from one of our earliest shows at the legendary City Gardens in Trenton, NJ in 1989 when we opened for Yellowman!
To celebrate our 25th anniversary back in 2013, we released "Ska In My Pocket: The Biggest & Bestest of Bigger Thomas" a digital only retrospective featuring twenty one of our favorite songs taken from the four albums and two demo tapes we released since forming the band in New Brunswick, NJ in 1988.
Its available for download on the Bandcamp link below. We hope you enjoy it!

My cat is eating almost nothing for the last 2 days and I'm worrying about that... There are no signs of the disease out there, except for the face that it is a little sluggish.
What should I do? What should I look for? Why the cat refuses to eat?
Usually the lack of appetite in cats is a sign of a disease. In such a situation it would be logical to take the cat to a veterinary clinic. But, unfortunately, is not always so easy to do... Veterinary clinics are not all staffed by professionals, so you can't fully rely on their experience. In this article I will discuss what can be done on your own in case your cat refuses to eat or has a poor appetite.
To begin with you should pay attention to the fact that the cats may refuse to eat for one or more days for natural reasons. This can happen due to climatic conditions (too hot weather) or stress. Nothing wrong with that, the cat won't die of hunger. If the cat has stopped eating, wait for 2-3 days. But make sure that the cat always has food and water available. Besides, the animal can eat at night, when you can't see it.
If some time has passed, but the cat still refuses to eat, you can still try to change the menu or give it something special. One of the best treats for cats is a premium cat feed (do not use cheap feed as they can do much harm). This feed is always delicious and soft at the same time. If it is difficult for the cat to eat solid food, this would help.
In case the cat doesn't get better in a few days, you definitely need to contact the veterinary clinic. At the same time make sure that the doctor looks for the right cause of your cat's ailment.
What should a veterinarian do if the cat refuses to eat?
The veterinarian should conduct a comprehensive inspection of the animal: to examine the oral cavity, probe and listen to the abdomen to check the body temperature.
If nothing is found during the inspection, they should carry out a blood, urine and feces test to reveal the hidden disease. In an extreme case: X-rays of the abdominal and thoracic cavity.
After the diagnosis, the veterinarian will prescribe treatment for your cat.

Q: A phrase or a word for saying a nice thing just for its sake Context: Suppose you are thinking of doing a task long due for quite some time, and you decide to do it today. But then, someone else also tells you to do it, and you want to say that you were also thinking of doing it today (and so you'll do it).
Now, it's not uncommon to say that even if that wasn't the case, just to be nice. But you want to convey the other person that, you're not saying this just as a formality / just for its sake, but you were actually thinking of doing it.
Is there a word or a phrase that conveys the italicized part? Yes, just the italicized part, I am not looking for an expression that conveys the entire thing.
Note that I've looked at this question, but the OP didn't provide much context, so the answers are not precisely what I am looking for. (This answer does sound close to what I want, but I looked it up, and it's not very precise)

A: Are you thinking of something like not "just being polite" as referenced here? "Insincere" might be another possibility in that case.

Are Google's New Search Practices Relevant?
As part of our ongoing exploration of the recent changes to Twitter, Facebook and Google, we asked Zemoga's Head of Research Russ Ward for his take on Google's new search practices, Here's what he had to say:
Well it is no surprise that Google has created a great deal of discussion over its new "Search plus Your World" functionality within Google +.
The chatter all over the web includes concerns over privacy rights, security and the reactions by Twitter and how it may work with Facebook. Quite frankly everyone seems to be reticulating the same news and speculation, but how much of a leap into a new world of search do these new personalized search features afford.
So lets step back and look at what this new Personal Results button really does. From Google + a search will simply yield the usual keyword based search result – so no new functionality there.
Then, by clicking on the Personal Result button a new set of results are added based on the keyword relevance of your search to keyword data indexed within the information Google knows is within your personal data either in Circles or other public data Google has matched to you. The paper clip example Google is using shows this relevance and the simple result.
In real terms this is simply an automated advanced search with results you have most likely seen before. While being personal in nature and clever that it relates keywords to you personally, there is no real innovation here and no real ground breaking improvement to provide useful information.
But it's what is not happening here that makes this function less useful? By default as Google is NOT scraping Twitter, Facebook or other third party social network, therefore the content presented is naturally biased by Google's search algorithm and whatever is held in the users Circles account. It is from a search relevance perspective that this means that the Personal Results function can only provide limited results.
To put this to the test – I ran a search of my own (as a matter of disclosure I do not have any content in Google Circles) and my search results do not change in any way. This is the case with or without the Personal Results button active and occurs no matter what I search for.
The take away here is that there does not seem to be any real technological or search advantage here. Until Google gets access to other social media platforms in which you participate there is nothing more to be said because it is IRRELEVANT.
Biz Stone Clears Things Up For Us
by Sven Larsen (@svenplarsen)
Given our recent posts about Twitter and Google policy changes, it seemed only fair that we point you to MediaBistro's coverage of Biz Stone's clarification of Twitter censorship policies.
While it's good to know that Twitter is retaining it's commitment to free speech, it does point out the increasing grey zone between local law and the global nature of the net. From last year's Wikileaks controversy to SOPA and its sister legislation, it's increasingly unclear how governments can actually control digital content (and whether they should be trying in the first place).
Is it time to kick this up to a higher level? Should the UN or the World Court be tackling issues like this? Because despite Biz's good natured explanation, recent discussions online have highlighted just how easy it is for corporations to arbitrarily change the rules of the net.
How do we build communications platforms that aren't dependent on the goodwill of their inventors to maintain their openness?
Microsoft Joins the Privacy Debate
Continuing our weeklong theme, SOCIAL TIMES has a writeup about Microsoft's full page ad in the Wall Street Journal attacking Google's privacy policies. This could get nastier than the Republican primaries!
Note to Twitter …
… when China and Thailand are commending you on your censorship policy it may be time to revisit the issue.
Is the Net a Red State?
Is the net inherently Republican?
Most of my digital brethren (at least here in New York) would react violently to that concept but the events of this past week seem to validate the idea. Even if we're talking more about Ron Paul's Libertarian version of Republicanism than the usual version on offer.
Like most people in our industry I was happy to see the demise of SOPA and PIPA last week, pieces of legislation that were both overreaching and indicative of lawmakers lack of understanding of the digital space. And I was impressed by how the web community came together quickly and united in it protest of the legislation.
But then I got the news about Google's new privacy policy. And Facebook's continuing imposition of their Timeline feature. And worst of all Twitter's announcement about censoring tweets. I'm sorry, "localized censorship" (as if censorship was acceptable as long as it didn't happen here in the good old USA).
And while we united as one great digital community to fight off Washington, we seem to accept this behavior if it's coming from one of our own.
Why is it acceptable for private companies to be cavalier with our personal information. Or impose features and products on us without giving us any choice in the matter? Or banning us from expressing an opinion if we happen to live in the wrong country?
Are we as a digital community saying that we don't want government regulating Internet content, we should just let business and the free market decide how important issues are handled?
That sure sounds like Republicanism to me.
There's nothing wrong with Republicanism. It's a view held by a large majority of people in this country. But it's definitely a radical change from the way the web community used to think and act. And no one seems to be drawing much attention to that.
What do you think? Is the Internet now a red state? And where are the digital democrats?
DJ's Personal Lessons From a Decade of Digital
As we noted in our last post, Zemoga has been around for a better part of a decade. We've learned a lot as a company in that time. And our beloved CEO, DJ Edgerton has learned a number of individual lessons. So in the spirit of Friday Fun he thought he would tell you a little bit more about the knowledge he's picked up over the last few years:
How to Eat a Fish in One Bite
How to Accept an Award Gracefully
How to Party Like a Rockstar
How to "Nail a Guy"
How Not to Take Any Bull
How to Look Dignified After All That
Check out our photostream on Flickr to see more fun photos of DJ and the rest of the Zemoga team
Lessons From a Decade of Digital
Remember 2004?
Bush was re-elected, the EU expanded and the world of digital was very different.
I'm musing about this because Zemoga just quietly celebrated a milestone. The anniversary of our incorporation on January 14th, 2004. While that date is our official birthday, DJ, Alejo and a stalwart team of young digital adventurers were working on projects for a couple of years before that. So it's no stretch to say that Zemoga has expereinced a decade of digital.
Back then, our primary work was building websites, simple games and banner ads (and almost all of this work was done in Flash). No Facebook apps, no mobile sites, no augmented reality or location based projects. And the iPad and iPhone were still gleams in Steve Jobs' eye. In those days, offering a wallpaper or a screensaver as a value added item was seen as forward thinking marketing. Our world has definitely changed.
Indulging in nostalgia can be fun but it also teaches us (or at least me) an important lesson. While our company and our industry prides itself on staying on top of the latest technology and anticipating future trends, our vision extends only so far. The pace of innovation is so fast these days that if we can predict what's coming a year or 18 months from now, then we're way ahead of the game. Figuring out the state of digital ten years from now? Forget about it.
With that in mind, our challenge as digital solutions providers is to keep our projects as open and flexible as possible. To not be too reliant on one platform or programming language, especially if it's relatively new and unproven (How's your MySpace page these days? Enjoying that HP tablet?). Apple, Google and Facebook are king right now but a decade ago we were talking about Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL. As one of our SoDA colleagues recently noted, the trick is to design for "people not platforms" and too make sure that your digital offerings acknowledge trends and fashion without being subservient to them. And when the world changes, project architecture and content needs to change with it.
It's not just a recipe for an enduring digital offering but an enduring company.
I wonder what Zemoga will be working on ten years from now?
Social Media Week (New York) is Coming!
By Sven Larsen (@ Sven Larsen)
We've written so much about Social Media Week – Bogota on this blog that we would be remiss in not mentioning that the original version of the event is about to happen in our other hometown, New York City. Toby Daniels and team have put together what looks like their best event yet. Just check out some of these keynote speakers:
Alec Ross, Senior Advisor for Innovation of Office of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Alex Bogusky, Co-Founder of Crispin Porter + Bogusky and founder of Common (we're looking forward to seeing Alex again after meeting him at the pSFK/Al Gore event)
David Eastman, CEO of JWT North America
Don Tapscott, author of Wikinomics
Doug Rushkoff (who wrote one of our favorite books of the last couple of years, Life 2.0)
Elisa Camahort Page, COO and Co-Founder of BlogHer, Inc.
Jay Walker, Chairman and Curator of TEDMED
Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of LinkedIn
Scott Belsky, CEO and Co-Founder of Behance
and that's only a partial list of the Keynote Speakers!
You can find the full event schedule for New York here. And don't be surprised if you see a bunch of familiar faces at these events as well. There's nothing the Zemoga team loves more than hearing from the best and brightest minds in the worlds of social and digital media so we're already filling up our calendars with the events we want to attend.
Why SOPA Won't Work
We were going to write a post about why we're opposed to SOPA and PIPA (despite being in the intellectual property business ourselves). But then we found out that the brilliant Clay Shirky had recorded a video on the subject for TED. Clay argues the case much more eloquently than we ever could so pleae take a moment to watch the video (and then contact your local representative if you agree with us and Mr. Shirky).
Why SOPA is a Bad Idea
Why Aren't We Talking About H-Commerce?
By Sven Larsen
Ed. Note: Sven originally wrote this post for our sister blog, Pixels & Pills but given the ubiquitous nature of the healthcare debate, we thought it would be of interest to the general digital community. Let us know your thoughts.
These days everyone is familiar with e-commerce. And our more social media savvy readers are probably all clued up on f-commerce (that's Facebook commerce folks). I've even heard Google's Adwords and Adsense business referred to as g-commerce. But what about the next letter in the alphabet. How come no one is talking about h-commerce?
Make no mistake; healthcare commerce online is big business (A Forrester research report projects 2012 Healthcare spending online will reach $8.7 billion). And the traffic for online health retailers is pretty impressive, too. Drugstore.com, a pioneer in the space nets 4.66 million unique users a month (and a not too shabby $416 mm a year in annual sales). But their traffic pales next to more traditional drug retailers like CVS (6.37 mm uniques per month) and Walgreen's (10.6 mm uniques per month). And then, of course, there is the 800-pound gorilla of health info online, Web MD with a whopping 16 million unique visitors per month (to put that number in comparison, the New York Times website average 17 mm uniques per month). It's clear that Americans are more than comfortable obtaining health information online and they're also comfortable with online purchasing of the drugs and other healthcare products they need. So why aren't we doing a better job of selling those products to them?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating digital snake oil sales or anything similarly distasteful (or anything that might get anyone in trouble with the FDA). In fact, quite the opposite. As an industry, it's a real black eye for us that most people associate online drug information with spam e-mails offering cheap Viagra and that most of the discussion of drug sales online revolve around things like obtaining cheap Canadian pharmaceuticals. No wonder the Pharma industry has such a bad reputation with many consumers. While drug manufacturers have sat in their ivory towers doing their best to ignore conversations with consumers, the digital space has been ceded to shady characters who have no interest in preserving brand integrity or serving patient's needs.
Yes, we're bound by strict regulatory requirements that preclude us using some of the traditional methods that other consumer marketers use to tout the features and benefits of their products. But that doesn't mean that we can't find new and better ways to educate consumers about their health and help them maintain positive lifestyles. Or even just make their lives a little easier.
Consider the plight of a young mother who has just relocated with her family to a city where she doesn't know anyone. She needs to find a GP she can trust for her family. She needs to find a pharmacist she can trust as well. Maybe one of her children has special needs and she needs to find a local support group. Maybe she just needs to know where that 24-hour drugstore is located. Perhaps she has a prescription that has run out and no one to authorize a refill. What does she do now?
She probably looks at Yelp or one of the many sites that publish HCP reviews. She may type the name of a national drugstore chain into a search engine and find a store at random. And she will spend a lot of time online looking for resources to help her and her family. Not a problem, right? We all know young moms have nothing but time on their hands.
How much better would it be if she were able to go to a one stop portal that contained tons of information about the healthcare resources available in her community? A site that listed HCPs, local specialists, pharmacists and patient support groups. A site that also provided links to educational resources online and e-commerce partners who could help with issues of supply and cost. A site sponsored by one (or several) Pharma companies that provided a real service to the community and a positive representation of our industry online. And, not for nothing, a site that increased compliance and by extension benefitted both the patient and the Pharma company.
The above, is just one example, of ways we can interact with and benefit the end consumer, without violating FDA guidelines. I'm sure our readers could come up with numerous other ideas. The key here is to once again step outside the narrow confines of our traditional industry thinking and to learn from other players in the market. A good start would be for Pharma companies to become more active in the general conversations about online marketing and retailing that take place at sites like INTERNET RETAILER andSHOP.ORG. Ultimately, the end consumer for Pharma is a consumer and we need to realize that despite all the rules that bind us, the purchase funnel for our products is no different than any other.
What do you think? Is this the year we finally start talking about h-commerce?

London - Britain needs to build a four-runway airport in west London or north of the capital if it wants to compete with other European hubs, according to a report by UK think tank Policy Exchange.
Construction of a four runway airport close to the current Heathrow hub in west London is the best option for the UK, with a four-runway airport in Luton, north of London, the next-best solution to the capacity crunch at UK airports, said the study.
The report, written by Tim Leunig, chief economist at the liberal think tank CentreForum, did not rule out the idea of a third runway at Heathrow, but said plans for an airport in London's Thames Estuary - backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson and architect Lord Foster - were not practical.
Policy Exchange said an estuary airport would be too difficult to get to for too many people and would present greater construction and environmental challenges than expansion at Heathrow.
"A four-runway airport would be straightforward to construct and relatively low cost by the standards of hub airports. It causes the lowest level of disruption to the wider economy of any likely airport expansion scenario," Leunig said.
Leunig added that Heathrow could also be expanded in such a way that it cements itself as Europe's number one hub while significantly reducing noise over west London.
This could be achieved by a complete ban on the noisiest of aircraft at all times, a complete ban on flights between 11 at night and 6.15 in the morning as well as the use of steeper landing angles to help reduce noise, the report said.
Heathrow is operating close to full capacity after Britain's Conservative-led coalition government blocked development of a third runway when it came to power in 2010 as further expansion of the west London site would mean a huge increase in the number of planes flying directly over the capital.
A commission chaired by former Financial Services Authority head Howard Davies to analyse ways to expand airport capacity in southeast England will report in the summer of 2015 after releasing an interim report next year, Patrick McLoughlin said last month.
Ferrovial's BAA has seen traffic between Heathrow and emerging markets rise in recent years and believes it is now falling behind rival European airports in Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam in the battle for these lucrative routes because of constraints on growth.

Our street was dedicated to her today. Louise A. Lynch Memorial Lane. e-mail me!
Maria, I'll send you an e-mail later today. Thank you for your kindness. And thank you for sharing your Mother's enduring legacy with the world. I feel bad that I wasn't able to truly honor your Mother, in the manner which she richly deserves. Hopefully I can do better next time.
Every year the struggle for me is to remember to honor those precious souls lost that terrible day, and to try to suppress this terrible rage I have against those vile perpetrators. They can have the other days of the year – I want to reserve this day for the grace of good people such as your mother.
I really appreciate your comments, and I look forward to dropping you a note soon. My thoughts are with you and your family this day.
Maria, I was about to e-mail you this when I saw you had found it earlier this morning. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers today, along with all of those who lost a loved one 8 years ago today.
Thank you for reposting and updating this. How wonderful that Maria's efforts to ensure Louise's memory lives on produced such enduring results! Great post.
I am from Amityville, NY. I used to see Louise with her daughter at 12 o'clock Sunday Mass at St. Martin of Tours, Amityville. I would see her at the Amityville train station. I remember she took the 7:04 am train to Brooklyn. (At the time I was a Long Island Rail Road empoloyee). One night I found a cell phone on the evening train. I picked it up and called it. It was Louise's phone, but I did not realize who she was until I delivered her phone to her home. When I saw her picture on TV at one on the 9/11 rememberance ceremonies, I was shocked. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of her.
Mary, thanks for keeping the memory of Louise close in your heart. More than any other soul lost on that day, Louise is the one that touches me daily.
Thank you for compiling Louise's facts of life and posting this article. This past weekend, on the 10th Anniversary of the attacks, three thousand flags were on display in a small town in southern PA. It is known around here as the Healing Field. Each flag had a card with someone's name who passed that day along with a small bio. The sea of flags was absolutely breathtaking in the most intense way. I chose to sponsor a flag for my family and, after reading many cards, I chose to sponsor Louise. What struck me on her card was the dedication she had to her daughter and it mentioned they were best friends. My little girl is three and I would be lost without her. Thankfully, through this site, I was able to learn much more about Louise and put a face to the name. Her flag is in my house with a yellow ribbon tied under the flag and a black ribbon on the top. I will never forget the events that transpired on 9/11, my children will grow up to know the truth, and Louise will be fondly remembered in our home. God Bless her family and the USA.
Thrilled to hear that you selected Louise's card from the many souls lost that day.
What a legacy Louise has left us.
Today my Catholic high school did a prayer service during all theology classes for all those who lost their lives in 9-11, 10 years ago. During the prayer service, they handed around a basket with bracelets. On the bracelets were written names with ages on them; all of whom had died on 9-11. Our school did this in cooperation with other Catholic schools, but I'm so glad I was able to research Louise and find out something about the person whom I was praying for today.


Daydream VR has so far been an experience that has run on your smartphone, but now it's making the jump into a standalone headset. Google and Qualcomm have partnered on a standalone Daydream VR headset.
Building on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform, the companies have produced a reference device that will give you a VR experience with no need to slip a phone into the front and no need to plug it into a computer. We're yet to see exactly what this headset looks like, but we suspect it will be close to the reference devices that Qualcomm has produced in the past.
Using technology from the Tango project, he new standalone headsets will come with WorldSense, a positional tracking system with no need for any external cameras. This is enabled by sensors on the outside of the device, aiming to help you feel like you're actually in the virtual world.
Google has also announced that it is working with HTC and Lenovo on the first standalone Daydream VR devices. The former produced the Vive, the latter worked heavily on Tango, so should lead to some interesting results.


Don't expect to slather this liquid all over. "Splash it on and let it absorb," as it says on the label. "This [system] is best for those who are busy and don't have time to let a mask sit," says Chilukuri. More like a serum, "a splash mask typically contains higher concentrations of lactic acid, glycerin and antioxidants."
This mask cleans out the pores. "As it dries, it removes oil and dirt below the skin's surface. The peel is most effective in eliminating blackheads or minimizing enlarged pores," says Chilukuri.
This creamy mask, which is made of metallic, ironlike particles, is removed with a magnet. Says Chilukuri, "The magnetic removal improves microcirculation while rehydrating and brightening the skin."


ကို နတၳိ ေျပာသလိုပဲ shaft နဲ. ေမာင္းတာ ..
Now everything we said above about worm gear precision above applies to these shaft/disk sets. They must me made concentric, smooth and round. If any of these three things is not precise then the rotational rate of the RA axle will vary.
If the manufacturing precision of these shaft/disk sets must be the same as worm gear sets what's the big deal? The answer is that it is very much easier to fabricate a round disk and shaft to high precision than it is to make a precision worm gear set. Almost any modern machine shop can fabricate a shaft/disk set to the required precision where as there are very few shops that can fabricate a precise worm gear set.
Drive chains are similar to drive belts in many ways, and which device is used is subject to several design tradeoffs. Drive chains are most often made of metal, while belts are often rubber, plastic, or other substances. This makes drive chains heavier, so more of the work put into the system goes into moving a chain versus moving a belt. On the other hand, well-made chains are often stronger than belts. Also, drive belts can often slip (unless they have teeth) which means that the output side may not rotate at a precise speed, and some work gets lost to the friction of the belt against its rollers.
Teeth on toothed drive belts generally wear faster than links on chains, but wear on rubber or plastic belts and their teeth is often easier to observe; you can often tell a belt is wearing out and about to break more easily than a chain. Chains often last longer.
Chains are often narrower than belts, and this can make it easier to shift them to larger or smaller gears in order to vary the gear ratio. Multi-speed bicycles with derailleurs make use of this. Also, the more positive meshing of a chain can make it easier to build gears that can increase or shrink in diameter, again altering the gear ratio.
Both can be used to move objects by attaching pockets, buckets, or frames to them; chains are often used to move things vertically by holding them in frames, as in industrial toasters, while belts are good at moving things horizontally in the form of conveyor belts. It is not unusual for the systems to be used in combination; for example the rollers that drive conveyor belts are themselves often driven by drive chains.

The eighth edition of Rugby Union World Cup will get underway with opening group A game between Hosts England vs Fiji and home side will be odds on favourite to register their first win in the 2015 RWC campaign. England started the stronger as expected and took the lead early on but Fiji were not ready to get bullied as they bounce back to score 18-11 to put England under pressure leading up to last quarter. England though held their nerves and managed to see off a decent looking Fiji side with a bonus points in the last minutes of the match scoreline England 35-11 Fiji.
Preview & Team News: The match is sold out and there will be around 82,000 fans at Twickenham stadium london for this opening fixture where England are favourites and should win this game after their superb preparations leading up to the world cup. They have won all their last 7 international matches and last defeat came back in November 2014 against South Africa. Fiji are no pushovers and although they are not expected to get out of this group they are certainly capable of producing one shock result and England will be hoping to avoid that.
Owen Farrell is set to miss out as George Ford will take the no.10 shirt same is the case with Joe Launchbury who is likely to sit out and Geoff Parling should start. Ben Youngs and Ben Morgan are also expected to feature in the starting lineup. As far as Fiji are concerned they have some quality players specially the ones who play their club trade in England. We might see Josh Matavesi, Asaeli Tikoirotuma and Tevita Cavubati settling for a place at the bench while Vereniki Goneva, Nikola Matawalu and Leone Nakarawa should all start the game.
Match Predictions: Looking at the head to head records its obvios that England has dominant this fixture having won all 5 matches between the two and I expect the same heading into fridays encounter. England has the quality to go all the way and since they are playing at home crowd support will also be a major factor.
Go Fiji Go … !!! Good luck on your next game… England is in the sack … Fijis win over England.


Financial Advisers generally don't enjoy having to move network or firm. It can be disruptive for your business; can unsettle your clients and can sometimes lead to cash-flow difficulties. Quite often though, the decision to move is forced upon you as a result of closures or changes leading to the network or firm no longer meeting your needs and expectations.
Whilst it's important not to pay over the odds, if it's too cheap there's usually a reason. Make sure you fully understand the membership costs. If it's all inclusive, are the services that you are paying for relevant to your needs? Are there any hidden extras such as regulatory fees or software subscriptions that are charged separately?
Making a comparison between providers can be difficult as charging structures vary, but as this could be one of your largest overheads, getting it right is vital and can make a significant impact to your bottom line.
Advisers will often become unsettled when their network or firm changes direction or ownership. This can result in preventing you from accessing certain products or providers and can lead to you either having to change business model or move elsewhere.
Make sure you understand the history of the business and who owns it. This can reveal some tell tale signs of which direction it goes to in the future. When was the company established? If it's owned by another company, where do their interests lie and how will this influence what you do? Ensure the long term-term plans of the company are aligned with yours and check for any past regulatory problems (reviews or sanctions) that could indicate potential risks in the future.
Making sure your preferred business model is catered for is imperative. If your preference is providing independent advice then look for a network or firm that will support this over the long-term. If you prefer the simplicity of a restricted solution then thorough due diligence will be required on the solutions available. In most instances this will come down to what your clients will expect of you.
Some additional areas to check will include the charging structure and client ownership. Your regulatory status may also be affected so if you are switching between direct authorisation and appointed representative make sue you understand how this will affect you.
Although the range of support services available from networks and firms will vary significantly, as an experienced financial adviser you should have a clear idea on the services that you need and will benefit from. Therefore getting to the detail and getting this right can make a real difference to your workloads.
If compliance support is important find out what system is used, what percentage of cases are checked, is pre-approval available and are there any restrictions? Also what are the qualifications held by the persons completing the checks? Is a helpline available to discuss cases and then once submitted, how long is the turnaround and how soon will you get paid?
Having kicked the tyres and narrowed down your search the final consideration comes down to your gut feeling. You've met the team and (hopefully) the heads of the business so how did they make you feel? Did you feel valued and can you see yourself working with these people over the long-term? Have you spoken to other advisers to get a feel from them? Ultimately, does it feel right?

Explorer John Colter described the wonder of the Yellowstone region in the early 1800s. Colter was a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and mountain man. Some called it "Colter's Hell" due to the exotic thermal features he told of. Artist Thomas Moran further captured the splendor with his historic painting of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, now known as "Artist's Point". Yellowstone's thermal features and geyser basins including "Old Faithful" are globally famous attracting visitors from throughout the world.

KISS THRU FIRE KISSES RIVALS GOODBYE ON THE WAY TO WINNING
THE GRADE 1 CHARGER BAR HANDICAP
Two weeks after coming up short of winning the Grade 2 Southern California Derby, Gentry Farms' Kiss Thru Fire scored her first stakes win and it came at the Grade 1 level after defeating a talented group of mares in the $100,000 Charger Bar Handicap on Sunday at Los Alamitos.
Ridden by Raul Valenzuela for trainer Juan Aleman, Kiss Thru Fire enjoyed a perfect trip in the Charger Bar, leaving the gate sharply and from there she just got better with each stride on the way to a half-length victory over the newly arrived Cat Daddys Lil Girl in the 400-yard dash.
Kiss Thru Fire's first stakes win came in the ninth attempt of her career. In addition to her runner-up effort in the Southern California Derby on December 20, she also finished second in the All American Oaks while qualifying to Grade 1 events like the Ruidoso Futurity, Golden State Million Futurity, Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity and Los Alamitos Super Derby. After her strong effort in the Southern California Derby, a race in which she was on the lead for most of the way before finishing a neck behind multiple derby winner Nomadic, her connections decided to give her one more out before breeding season.
"(She) has been sound," Aleman said of the 4-year-old mare. "We evaluated her after that race, and she wasn't off her feed at all. She felt good, she was looking good, she vet-checked good. We said let's go because this was going to be her last race before getting a break to get embryo transfers. She'll get a break after this and then come back. This was a tough field, and she was one of the tough ones in there. She finally got the Grade 1 under her belt. She has been trying and trying."
Kiss Thru Fire kissed her rivals goodbye early on in the Charger Bar, finally delivering the complete effort in a graded stakes race that Aleman had long been hoping for.
"In the (Southern California trials) she still had a bunch of trouble, but she has so much heart," Aleman said. "She has a lot of guts and a lot of heart. She just hasn't been quick enough out of the gate to stay out of trouble, so she's been in trouble. Finally, in the Southern California she broke an I thought we had it won until I saw Nomadic coming on. It was a (close) finish. It was a good race and I said, 'Well, she's going to be a 4-year-old and she's going to have a break after the Charger Bar. We got it done."
After breeding season, the daughter of Walk Thru Fire could go to Remington Park and run in the Grade 1 races for mares at the Oklahoma City track. According to Aleman, the Gentry Farms-bred mare will eventually return to Los Alamitos for the Grade 1 Mildred Vessels Memorial Handicap on September 19.
"She'll be my best older mare coming back," Aleman added.
For the Gentry family, Kiss Thru Fire is now the fourth Grade 1 winning Quarter Horse mare that the family has campaigned. She's also the richest having now earned $438,253 - $50,000 of that amount in the Charger Bar - while winning six of 18 career starts. Prior to Gentry Farms being the main nom the course for the family's racing operation now under the leadership of Kirk Gentry, his father, the late Robert A. Gentry, campaigned three terrific Grade 1 winning mares in Deelish, Fovee, and Fredaville. Deelish won the Go Man Go Handicap here and was the AQHA champion aged mare in 2000, while AQHA Distaff Challenge Championship winner Fredaville was the AQHA champion aged mare in 2012. Fredaville, a winner of 11 races and of $324,696, is also the dam of Kiss Thru Fire. Meanwhile, Fovee is the second highest earner among the four with $380,385 and won the Mildred Vessels at Los Alamitos.
"They have a great broodmare band," Aleman added. "Just great mares that (Kirk Gentry) breeds every year. I'm very appreciative of having an owner that keeps bringing us these very good horses."
Winning rider Raul Valenzuela is also among the hottest stakes winning riders at Los Alamitos right now. Since December 12, Valenzuela has won the Grade 1 Champion of Champions with Apollitical Pence, the Holiday Handicap with Candy Blood and now the Grade 1 Charger Bar.
"She's a good mare and ran big in the Southern California and just got outnodded," Valenzuela said. "I made the decision to take another horse (in the Southern California) but I knew if she got out there with them breaking that she was tough going on the other end. That's how it turned out for us. She broke super clean. That's been her problem all along the times that I've ridden her, she has been breaking, gets into trouble, comes flying late. I knew that if I could get her out there and be somewhere in front that she would come flying at the end. I want to thank Gentry Farms for giving me the opportunity to get her back."
Jimmy Negrete and Jimmy Vasquez's Cat Daddys Lil Girl bumped at the start but flew from there to earn $17,000 for her runner-up effort. Bred by her owners, Cat Daddys Lil Girl was ridden by Oscar Peinado for trainer Jaime Gomez. The 5-year-old New Mexico-bred by Big Daddy Cartel arrived after winning an allowance event at Lone Star Park. She won 20th running of the Lou Wooten and Sydney Valentini Handicap at Sunland Park in January of 2020 and won the New Mexico Quarter Horse Filly and Mare Championship at Zia Park in 2019. With her Charger Bar earnings, Cat Daddys Lil Girl lifted her career earnings to $347,282.
The Aleman-trained Curls Happy Wagon completed a terrific California campaign with a third-place finish in this race. Owned and bred by Michael Pohl and Martin Stacy, Curls Happy Wagon earned $10,000 to take her career earnings to 360,674. The top three finishers were followed by 2020 Ruidoso Derby winner Hotsempting, One Sweet Change, Terra Fire, Jr Prissys Blood, Jess B Glory, Galloping Goddess, and Tequila Sangria.


Most Americans have heard the Burger King advertising slogan for years. It simply says: "Have It Your Way." The idea behind the slogan is clear–Burger King stores will prepare a hamburger just the way you like them. If you want mustard, pickles and lettuce, without the tomatoes, just ask. If you want ketchup, and no mustard, all you have to do is make your wish known. And this additional promise is made clear: "Special orders don't upset us." Fast and efficient delivery of your meal is always the goal, thus the promise to you the customer.
Sometimes the promises of ad agencies parallel the promises churches make. When we buy into marketing deeply we can begin to believe that the real key to reaching the unchurched is to allow the seeker (customer) to have things his/her way. You can come to our church, we promise you, and here you will get what you were looking for in real religion. And if you make a special request we will bend heaven and hell to meet it. You are the goal, your wish is our command.
My friend Wilbur Ellsworth has an apt phrase to describe this modern evangelical church practice. He calls it the "church of the personal preference." We encourage people to pick a church based upon what they want and how they want it served. This approach says to the shopper that this church is "all about you." One very real problem is that a church built on "personal preferences" has a huge back door. There is an old saying that went something like this: "What you win them with is what you will keep them with." If you market this way to win them you must then keep marketing in similar ways to retain them. Give them lots of preferences coming into the church and you must keep giving them lots of preferences to keep them there. This mind set, joined with a gnostic type of privatized pietism, inevitably results in the "church of the personal preference." It also builds churches that make it their goal to keep people "happy" with the products and services rendered. I am convinced this cannot build a truly missional church, or at least it cannot build one that has a healthy balance of sacramental and servant-oriented life. The invitation to the kingdom of Christ always calls upon saint and sinner alike to "take up the cross and follow" Jesus to one's death. This message cannot be marketed in terms of preferences. To suggest that it can is quite ludicrous if you think about this at all.

Q: determine key size from public key (PEM format) I'm trying to figure out the size of a public key that I received. How can determine the size from the key? I can't find a simple way in the documentation.
What I have is the public key itself, which I receive like this:
cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(sock.peer_cert)
pkey = cert.public_key

The public key is in PEM format. So you have the start and end line, and in the middle the actual key. Now the key itself is base64 encoded. If I decode that string and count the bytes I get a size. This size includes some extras like exponent and modulus (Is there more?). What I need to know to determine the bits of the public key is how many bytes modulus and exponent (and if there is more, then that as well) take up.

A: key_length_in_bits = pkey.n.num_bytes * 8

Quoting Wikipedia:

[...] n is used as the modulus for both the public and private keys. Its length, usually expressed in bits, is the key length. [...]


Three people suffered non-life threatening injuries after the driver of a log truck in Lavalette WV lost control of his truck and overturned.
Two children were hit by the log truck as they were exiting their school bus on March 4 at 4 PM. The log truck also hit a minivan that was parked along 5th Street Road on West Virginia 152 in Lavallette.
The West Virginia State Police stated that there were several people in the minivan, but only the driver was injured.
Witnesses reported that the log truck was going southbound and ran off the right side of the road and overturned as it attempted to avoid hitting the stopped school bus.
Our truck accident attorneys in Virginia Beach and in West Virginia are glad that no one was more seriously injured in this log truck accident. All commercial truck drivers should be familiar with the commercial driver's manual for their state. The VA CDL Manual states that 'driver too fast is a major cause of crashes and fatalities.' Commercial truck drivers are obligated to adjust their speed to suit local conditions, including weather, load and the type of road they are driving on.
The VA manual also notes that total stopping distance is made of up three things: perception distance, reaction distance, and stopping distance. A big rig or fully loaded log truck traveling at 55 MPH would take at least four seconds to stop in normal conditions. On a local road where school buses stop, there is no excuse for driving so fast that the truck driver cannot stop safely.
Our experience as truck accident personal injury attorneys in Virginia and West Virginia has shown us that truck drivers all too often drive too aggressively and cause serious trucking accident that maim and kill innocent people. This case involved a truck driver rear ending our client, which caused serious injuries to two children. We settled the case for $5.5 million.

Roy Halladay's Top Five Games
By M-SABR on November 10, 2017 • ( 0 )
by Theo Mackie
On Tuesday, the baseball world was struck with the devastating news that one of the greatest pitchers of last decade, Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies legend Roy Halladay, tragically passed away at age 40. But rather than dwelling on his tragic death, this time should be used to remember what a dominant pitcher the oft-forgotten Halladay was. After struggling a little bit with command early in his career, he became one of baseball's elite pitchers in a 2002 season in which he posted a 2.93 ERA in the middle of the steroid era. Over the next nine seasons, his mix of command, strikeout ability, and efficiency made him one baseball's most feared pitchers. He led his league in complete games seven times, shutouts four times, innings pitched four times, and strikeout to walk ratio five times en route to becoming the fifth pitcher in history to win a Cy Young in both leagues after Hall of Famers Gaylord Perry, Pedro Martinez, and Randy Johnson, as well as seven-time award winner Roger Clemens. As a rival fan, I couldn't stand him as a player but as a baseball fan, he was an absolute joy to watch. He was one of those pitchers whose appearance in your team's upcoming schedule elicited two reactions: chalk that one up as a loss and check StubHub for tickets. Since my Nationals have come to DC, the National League has featured Madison Bumgarner, Adam Wainwright, Noah Syndergaard, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Zach Greinke, and others but the only pitchers to whom I have had that reaction are Clayton Kershaw, prime Tim Lincecum, and Halladay. Here are his five best performances:
The playoff no-hitter. October 6, 2010. Phillies 4, Reds 0. 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K.
For years, Halladay had been considered one of those greats who never got to play in the postseason, much like Felix Hernandez is today. In the 2009 offseason, Halladay finally joined a contender, as the Blue Jays sent him to the reigning National League champions, the Philadelphia Phillies. After a 97 win season and the team's fourth consecutive division title, Halladay finally got his shot at October glory. To say he made the most of it would be a criminal understatement. Halladay pitched one of the finest games not just in postseason history but in baseball history, dispatching a 91-win Reds team that led the league in batting in just 104 pitches, with only a fifth-inning, full-count walk from Jay Bruce separating Halladay from his second perfect game of the season. With the performance, he joined the legendary Don Larsen as the only players to ever pitch a postseason no-hitter.
The perfect game. May 29, 2010. Phillies 1, Marlins 0. 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 11 K.
There are not many pitchers for whom a perfect game would place second on their career performances, much less their season performances but that is just how magical Halladay's 2010 season—in which he pitched an absurd ten complete games and five shutouts—was. 115 pitches was unusually high for the most efficient pitcher since Greg Maddox, but they were 115 excellent ones as he struck out a batter in eight of nine innings and only allowed six balls to leave the infield. The Phillies needed all of it as they only managed one run against Florida ace Josh Johnson. To top it off, the performance lowered Halladay's season ERA to an absurd 1.99.
10-inning complete game. April 13, 2007. Blue Jays 2, Tigers 1. 10 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K.
This might be a controversial inclusion above some of Halladay's more dominant and memorable starts but it shows everything that made him so great. His ability to go efficiently deep into games, never walk anyone (seriously, seven straight years with less than 2 BB/9), and shut down formidable opponents is what made him a likely Hall of Famer. This game showcased all of those talents. It is the last time any pitcher has pitched an extra-inning complete game, and he did it without walking anyone against the reigning American League champions, with the only run coming on a Magglio Ordonez home run. And he did it on 107 pitches. That's an efficient seven innings for most guys! 2007 was Halladay's worst healthy season of his career by most statistics (still put up a 3.71 ERA and finished fifth in Cy Young voting) but his ability to produce starts like this made him feared nonetheless.
Second career start. September 27, 1998. Blue Jays 2, Tigers 1. 9 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K.
Like most pitchers of this era, Halladay had a tendency to make Tigers' hitters look like fools. Unlike most pitchers, he did it in his second career start. In his first ever game at the SkyDome, Halladay immediately endeared himself to the Blue Jay faithful, who despite watching Roger Clemens every fifth day, had likely never seen a performance like this one. Through 8 2/3 innings, Halladay was perfect, striking out eight in the process, before a pinch-hit home run from Bobby Higginson spoiled what would have undoubtedly been the greatest home debut any player has ever had, in any sport. Halladay didn't become entrenched in the Toronto rotation until 2001 but his home debut three years earlier will never be forgotten by anyone who was there. And in classic Halladay fashion, he did it in 95 pitches.
First playoff clincher. September 27, 2010. Phillies 8, Nationals 0. 9 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K.
Twelve years to the day after his dominant opening act, Halladay finally clinched his first ever playoff appearance, doing so in typical dominant fashion. With a miniscule crowd of 14,309, mostly Phillies fans, on hand, Halladay did what he did best, throwing a 97-pitch Maddux to clinch the team's fourth consecutive NL East crown. Only an Adam Dunn eighth-inning single separated Halladay from facing the minimum. That and a Wilson Ramos single prevented him from perfection—which would have made him the only pitcher to pitch two career perfect games, and, after the playoff no-hitter in his next start, only the second to pitch back-to-back no-hitters. Nonetheless, it was a dominant performance that helped secure his second Cy Young.
September 6, 2003. Blue Jays 1, Tigers 0. 10 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K. This one is all the way back in his first Cy Young season and was the first extra-inning complete game of his career. Despite being a shutout, it misses the list due to being against the worst team in modern history—Halladay's favorite punching bag, the 2003 Detroit Tigers.
October 21, 2010. Phillies 4, Giants 2. 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. Far from his best stat-line but one of his most clutch performances, Halladay out-dueled Tim Lincecum in a star-studded matchup to keep the Phillies alive on the road at AT&T Park in game 5 of the 2010 NLCS.
October 7, 2011. Cardinals 1, Phillies 0. 8 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K. It might seem crazy to put a loss in here but this was an all-time great game. The 102 win Phillies faced the team-of-destiny Cardinals with two aces going head-to-head in a do-or-die game 5. Halladay most certainly did his part by shutting down the Cardinals after back-to-back extra base hits to open the game but he was outdone by Chris Carpenter, who delivered one of the best playoff starts of all time.

With the dramatic increase of spam coming from the .top generic TLD and several others as seen here: The Spamhaus Project - The Top 10 Most Abused TLDs what I would like to do is increase bayesian / spam assassin scoring for several of these generic TLDs. Has anyone found any ruleset they have found to be successful regarding this?
I went ahead and built this out which should do the trick for those looking for a ruleset for this.
I'm happy to see you were able to address the issue. Thank you for updating this thread with the instructions for your custom workaround.


The two vintages that make up the bulk of the wines I tasted for our annual report on Chile's wines, 2011 and 2010, posed a number of challenges for the country's growers and winemakers--chiefly, how to make attractive wine from mostly underripe fruit. Coming on the heels of the strong run of recent vintages, this will be a tricky duo of years to navigate, especially at the middle and upper end, where consumers are able to choose from a multitude of options from around the world.
I didn't find as much character in many of this year's set of wines as I have from the last three vintages and I place that fact squarely--and hopefully--on the weather difficulties that Chile has suffered. Making silk purses from sows' ears is a fantasy so I wasn't surprised that this year's examples provides me with fewer thrills than I experienced last year with the '09s. Incidentally, indications are that the drought conditions of the 2012 growing season will result in wines with far more concentration and power than we're seeing from '10 and '11, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Two thousand eleven got off to a slow start, with a cold spring followed by a cool, drawn-out growing season. Because of the rough start to the flowering there was a low fruit set and yields were generally off by 20% to 25% across all varieties. Unfortunately, I did not detect any noticeable uptick in concentration due to low yields from the sampling of the 2011s that I tasted this spring. I've heard reports that the more important cabernets, which mostly won't be released for another year or two, can be very good if the fruit was allowed to hang and enjoy an extended harvest.
A large number of the young 2011 reds that I tasted in recent months were on the shrill side and lacked depth of flavor. That may be attributable to the fact that these are all wines that are rushed into the market (clearly, since the grapes had been harvested only a matter of months before I tasted them) and were mostly the product of young, heavily irrigated vines planted for maximum yield and harvested on the early side. I found the white wines from '11 to be somewhat more interesting, but, again, these were mostly early-release sauvignon blancs that are expected to be tangy, tight and citrus fruit-dominated. I'm curious to see how the higher-end bottlings shape up when they're released later this year.
As for 2010, it was also plagued by a slow start, thanks to a cold, rainy winter and spring, and red grapes struggled to get up to speed. Based on many of the wines that I tried, a number of them never made it, even with a drawn-out harvest. Some reports say that flowering was almost a month behind schedule, and barring a torrid growing season that's just too much ground to make up. It did stay dry until May, which is extremely late for harvesting (May in the Southern Hemisphere equals November in the North), and there's hope that fruit picked then will raise the quality of at least some of the final red blends from this vintage. On a positive note, wines that rely on lively acidity for their personality, like sauvignon blanc, riesling and pinot noir, can be bright and nervy in 2010. They won't be the most concentrated wines, though, and most should be drunk up on the young side.
