It's Too Late to Delay Obamacare
The website is riddled with glitches—why not just postpone the launch? Because doing so could increase customer costs or deprive citizens of coverage entirely.

Delay is in the air.
Marco Rubio on Monday introduced the "Delay Until Fully Functional Act" to postpone the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate until six months after the government could certify "that the exchange website is fully functional." Ten Democratic senators have now signed on to a letter, drafted by New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, asking the president to extend the open-enrollment period beyond March 31. West Virginia Democratic Joe Manchin called for a "transition period" in Obamacare and some mechanism to prevent costs to people already in the individual market from going up. "Nobody should be forced to buy a policy that costs more than what they had and is inferior to what they had," Manchin said Sunday on ABC News's This Week. An individual-mandate-delay bill already passed in the House in July 2013, with 22 Democrats joining Republicans to vote for it, and then again right before the government shutdown in September. Several Republicans have called for a halt in the whole system while Healthcare.gov is fixed. "Congress should press 'pause' on the tech surge and figure out what went wrong first before throwing good money after bad and forcing the public to use a broken site," said Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Murphy at a hearing in October.
But it is too late to delay Obamacare. The private health-insurance market is in the throes of major changes, and there is no going back. Anyone who is calling for the system to be put on pause at this point is calling for the millions of people being moved out of existing private-market plans to have fewer options for new coverage, instead of more, and for them to be denied opportunities to find subsidies for plans. And anyone calling for a significant delay in imposing the individual mandate is putting at risk the affordability of the entire private individual-insurance market as it's been shaped to meet the law's requirements over the last three years, insurers warn.
"The individual mandate is inextricably linked to the insurance-market reforms included in the health-care-reform law," said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the industry group America's Health Insurance Plans. There are historical precedents for trying to overhaul the insurance system without mandates in the states, and those precedents are failure.
"In the 1990s, several states enacted insurance-market reforms without achieving broad participation and it failed," Zirkelbach said. "Premiums increased dramatically, consumers and employers had fewer coverage choices, and the number of uninsured increased." To avoid "repeating the state experience," the 2010 health-insurance overhaul mandated that everyone purchase coverage and established a long initial open-enrollment period "to incentivize young, healthy people to purchase and maintain health insurance rather than waiting until after they get sick or injured to sign up." Without these young people purchasing insurance in the markets, the whole pricing structure of the private health plans in the new markets goes haywire.
Even delaying the mandate past the March 31 deadline, which may sound intuitively like a fair thing to do, would fundamentally disrupt the markets in a way that increases costs, insurers warn. Everything insurers have done was designed around a fixed plan, and any significant changes in mid-course—and we are now in mid-course—will destabilize what's being rolled out this year and for 2015 (open enrollment for 2015 will take place in late 2014).
"The administration's proposal to align the individual-mandate penalties with the open-enrollment sign-up period ending on March 31 is consistent with what health plans assumed in their premiums for next year. Going beyond this proposal by delaying the individual mandate and/or extending the open enrollment period past March 31 could have a destabilizing effect on insurance markets, resulting in higher premiums and coverage disruptions for individuals and families," Zirkelbach said.
"Moreover, if these vital enrollment incentives were to change, the premiums health plans filed for next year would have to increase to account for fewer young and healthy people signing up for coverage."
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pointed out during the House Energy and Commerce hearing Wednesday that the open-enrollment period being offered consumers by the exchanges is already "extraordinarily long."
"It's about six times as long as a typical generous open-enrollment period," she said. "And it's important for the insurance partners to know who is in their pool so again they can stay in the market next year and know who they are insuring."
If Healthcare.gov is fixed by November 30, the administration's stated target, customers will have four full months to enroll, she noted.
"We think it's important for everyone to understand that the individual mandate is critical to making the insurance reforms work and to ensuring affordable coverage for consumers," the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association told TPM. "Unless everyone is covered, the reforms included in this law fundamentally do not work. An extension of the open-enrollment season is effectively a delay of the individual mandate, with the same serious consequences for consumers."
This is something especially for Democrats calling for delays and extensions to consider: Rather than fixing a political problem for themselves and a practical enrollment problem for their constituents, delaying the mandate and extending enrollment would provoke a fresh round of problems with the exchanges during the fall of 2014. A fresh round of open enrollment is set to begin on October 15—just weeks before the midterm elections.
This would be great for Republicans, politically. But it's hard to imagine it working out better for Democrats than focusing on making the process the nation is already in the middle of a success.

MugetsuPipefox 2 stories
After Arthur's death, Merlin waits a millennia for his return. But somewhere between hallucinations a despair, Fate decides to show an act of kindness.
Fantasy / Scifi
MugetsuPipefox
King Arthur Pendragon was dead.
No matter how many tears he cried or how he wished it wasn't so, Merlin knew it to be the truth.
Arthur had been Merlin's purpose in life; his reason. Without him, there was no real use for his magic other than to ensure that Camelot remained protected until Arthur returned. Because he would return. The Great Dragon had told him so.
So, in preparation for this, Merlin built a small house not far from the shores of the Lake of Avalon so that he would be there when Arthur rose again.
He knew that he would have to return to Camelot. The people deserved to know what had happened to their king. Gwen deserved to know what had happened to her husband. But still he put it off, convincing himself that it was best to wait until he could form a coherent sentence without choking on a sob before he finally made the journey around a month after Arthur had gone.
Gaius, Gwen and all the remaining knights (Merlin soon learned that Gwaine had perished at the hands of Morgana – a revelation that caused him to once again lapse into a pit of despair) were very supportive, never blaming him. Never saying that he had failed. Never judging him in the ways he was judging himself.
Gwen had somehow discovered Merlin's magic. Merlin blamed Gaius, though she was quite adamant that she had figured it out for herself. Gwen had asked him if he would take up the position of Court Sorcerer but Merlin had declined. He knew where he needed to be. This did not stop him, however, from fighting off any threat to Camelot that arose.
It was only a few months after he had returned to his home by the Lake of Avalon that Merlin felt it. It was like a part of whatever remained of him had suddenly shriveled and died. He did not need confirmation to know that Kilgharrah had passed.
Merlin had thought he no longer had any tears left to cry.
He was wrong.
Not a week later Aithusa arrived at his doorstep in a similar state to him. They had both lost people they cared about and, being the last of their kin, put their differences in allegiance aside and stayed together.
Over time, Merlin had managed to heal much of Aithusa's twisted, deformed body, although some of the damage had been irreversible. She would not grow to be the size that Kilgarrah had been, but whether that was because she was a different kind of dragon or because of her stunted growth, Merlin wasn't sure.
Whenever Merlin visited Camelot, Aithusa was made to stay behind. Although the ban on magic had been lifted, Merlin knew that the sight of a dragon would set the people into a sense of unease. Gwen had enough on her plate without having to deal with rioting citizens.
Gwen, Gaius and even the knights made regular visits to the Lake – both to pay their respects to their fallen king as well as to see Merlin and ensure he was doing alright. It was during those times that they formally met Aithusa, who had, after the initial shock had worn off, apologised profusely about not having known the darkness in Morgana's heart. They quickly took a liking to her.
As the years went by, Merlin could do little but watch as the people he loved aged and died, and not long after the death of its childless queen, Camelot fell.
When the world around them began to change, Merlin cast several enchantments on the area surrounding the Lake to protect it, Arthur and Aithusa. No matter how things changed, Merlin would ensure that this small part, this sacred place, remained untainted by time.
One thousand years came and went and, one day, for the first time in his long life, Merlin was truly alone. He gave Aithusa a funeral fit for a king.
Isolation did not treat Merlin kindly. In an attempt to ease his loneliness, his brain conjured images of the people he had loved and lost but these hallucinations quickly back-fired, becoming a constant reminder of his every failure. The faces that had initially smiled and comforted soon twisted into sneers and looks of disgust as they told him that he had failed, that he had betrayed them.
At first, Merlin tried to ignore them. He would tell himself that what he was seeing wasn't real – just figments of his imagination. But he soon found that to simply ignore was not possible. The next time a figure appeared to him, he fled, hoping that when he returned the image would be gone and he would be left in peace.
It had almost been 1500 years before Fate decided to show him one small act of kindness.

Dynamic Injunction: A New Mechanism To Tackle Online Piracy
May 1, 2019 January 10, 2022 Vanshaj Mehta
Recently the Delhi High Court, in UTV Software Communication Ltd. And Ors vs. 1337X.TO And Ors, (Order dt. 10.4.2019 CS(COMM) 724/2017), dealt with 'Dynamic Injunctions'. With this decision, a plaintiff may directly approach the Joint Registrar of the Delhi High Court to extend an existing injunction against a website to similar 'mirror/redirect/alphanumeric' websites that contain the same content as the already injuncted website.
The Hon'ble Court first considered 'Rogue Websites.' As per the Court, these are websites that "primarily or predominantly share infringing content". The court stated that "the registrant details of these websites are unknown and any or all contact information is masked/blocked. These websites invite consumers for watching free movies/contents. Although some of these websites feebly claim to only provide links to third-party websites, and not host content on their servers, yet their entire module/interface is premised on allowing users to watch pirated releases/movies by way of links, and which account for all the content available on their sites". Further, on the test of determining the 'Rogue Website' the court took help from the judgement of Eros International Media Ltd. & Anr. vs. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, (Order dt. 31.08.2018,C.S. No. 346/2018), and held that, "requiring the copyright owner to identify each infringing element would place too onerous a burden on copyright owners, particularly in instances where these websites can easily change a URL which has been taken down or blocked."
The Hon'ble Court referred to the Singapore High Court's decision in Disney Enterprise v. Ml Ltd., ((2018) SGHC 206), where, for the first time, the concept of a dynamic injunction was formulated. In that case, the court held that a plaintiff could file an additional affidavit stating why a new website fell within the purview of an existing blocking order. As per the Court, the Indian Code of Civil Procedure allows for dynamic injunctions.
With this judgement, the Delhi High Court has provided litigants an effective remedy to avoid engaging in multiple proceedings against the same offender.

Biomedcode has an array of humanized models ideal for the preclinical testing of therapeutics targeting human molecules with no cross-species reactivity.
Depending on the generation strategy, human transgenes may confer a spontaneous phenotype or not. Spontaneous phenotypes are usually related with a direct connection of the human gene with the aetiopathology of the disease developed. Such cases are the human TNF transgenic models of arthritis Tg197, Tg5453 and Tg3647 as well as the human RANKL transgenic model of osteoporosis.
Other humanized mice have no spontaneous phenotype and can be combined with either genetic spontaneous or inducible models of chronic inflammatory diseases yielding preclinical efficacy evaluation platforms for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Intestinal Inflammation, Psoriasis and Multiple Sclerosis.
Tg1278TNFko is a mouse with normally regulated hTNF expression in the absense of mTNF. These mice are ideal for testing the efficacy of anti-human TNF therapeutics in a variety of induced inflammatory models.
hTNFR1KI is a humanized TNFR1 mouse with the human TNFR1 gene fully replacing its mouse homologue in all physiological and pathological functions. The hTNFR1KI mice have normal phenotype and can be used in combination to other genetic models (e.g. Tg197hTNFR1KI ) or with a variety of induced disease models in order to test the efficacy of anti-human TNFR1 therapeutics. Human TNFR1 successfully replaces its mouse homologue in the maintenance of splenic microarchitecture.
TghuIL17A is a transgenic mouse with normally regulated expression of huIL17A. This mouse was developed by Biomedcode and is currently undergoing further characterization. When the model is fully characterized, the TghuIL17A will be made available in combination with induced models of inflammatory diseases such as EAE, arthritis or psoriasis like disease for testing anti-huIL17A therapeutics.

Eighteen Oddities in Yunnan(云南十八怪), sometimes called Eighteen Wonders of Yunnan, are eighteen unique traits of the Yunnan province of southwest China. The oddities, which are as follows, are generally presented in the form of a list, which is promulgated in promotional materials advertising the province to foreign and domestic tourists.
Yunnan Province is situated in an area of low latitude and high altitude, and accordingly its climate is quite diversified in different places. It is also a province with the greatest number of minority groups. Apart from the Han people there are 25 other minorities, such as Yi, Bai, Zhuang, Dai, Tibetan and Yao, etc., which constitute almost one-third of the total population. The province's unique geography, special climate and colorful human geography all make its culture and customs very different from any other place in China. While the Eighteen Oddities have spread far and wide long ago, there are the Twenty-Eight Oddities and Eighty-One Oddities of the province that try to capture its special customs. However, increasing communications and a developing economy in the province have made such oddities a thing of the past. Some major oddities are listed.
5. Dali Baba is called Erkuai.
Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, is also known as Spring City, and the weather in other areas of the province is similar to that of Kunming. Fresh flowers can be seen in Yunnan in any season.
The Lisu minority girls have a habit of smoking and chewing tobacco. Most married and unmarried females hang tobacco bags on their waist belts. Women present bags to one another with respect on the occasion of union to show kindness and intimacy that gradually becomes a necessary entertainment to their guests.
The green vegetable in Yunnan is a special local product which doesn't actually taste bitter. However, it gained its reputation as being a bitter vegetable from local traditional customs.
There was a narrow railway of 464.2 kilometers long from Kunming to Hanoi in Vietnam at the end of Qing dynasty which was the first international railway in the province. It was constructed by the French during 1903 to 1910 and cost more than 50,000 lives. However, by then Yunnan didn't even a domestic railway.
Roads in Yunnan usually wind up along colossal and precipitous mountains. Fog spreads all over the mountaintops, creating the illusion of driving through clouds in a fairyland.
1. Stone grows in the clouds – Yunnan's Shilin, or Stone Forest resembles stalagmites growing out of the ground.
2. Locusts or grasshoppers are eaten as a delicacy- Many people in Yunnan are fond of eating locusts, because they taste crisp and fresh after being fried. So locusts have become popular delicacy that can go with the wine in Yunnan.
3. Fresh flowers are served as a vegetable.
4. Water and fire are worshipped as gods.
5. People sing rather than speak.
6. Tea leaves are sold in piles- The Jinpo minority group in Luxi county of Dehong prefecture sells tea leaves by piles instead of using scales.
7. Non-slanting walls are built with cobblestones.
8. Keys are hung on waist belts.
9. Small, lean horses are hard-working.
10. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available in all four seasons.

This section is intended to provide a definition of terms used in QW 5 as well as information on the calculations and rules followed by QW 5 in developing the statistics that appear when a graph of a variable is displayed.
These calculations are based on having a fixed USL, LSL and Target.
Only entered values (non-null) are included in calculations in QW 5.
*Cpk and Cp are still reported.
The mathematical average of all data points in a field. Also known as the Arithmetic Mean.
Calculated percent above upper control limit.
Calculated percent above upper specification limit.
Calculated percent above upper warning limit.
Calculated percent below lower control limit.
Calculated percent below upper specification limit.
Calculated percent below lower warning limit.
This statistic uses a table to infer the theoretical %OSL. The table assumes normality, control and the right number of samples so that the Average and SD are representative of the true population. Unless these assumptions hold true, the number will be inaccurate. When you have calculated quantities and no observed quantities, first suspect the assumptions above have been violated … particularly with large sample sizes. It is calculated as the value of the percentage (or parts per million) of a normal distribution curve that will fall outside the specification limits (points in the white band of the chart) if a large number of samples are taken. This value is theoretical and is accurate only if the variable is in statistical control and the data is normally distributed.

Calculated number above upper control limit.
Calculated number above upper specification limit.
Calculated number above upper warning limit.
Calculated number below upper control limit.
Calculated number below lower specification limit.
Calculated number below lower warning limit.
Calculated parts per million above target.
Calculated parts per million above upper control limit.
Calculated parts per million above upper specification limit.

Calculated parts per million below lower control limit.
Calculated parts per million below lower specification limit.
Calculated parts per million below lower warning limit.
Calculated parts per million below target.
Calculated parts per million out of specification limits.
The Calculated parts per million Upper Confidence Interval is an adjustment to the defect estimate to account for sampling error using the normal distribution theory.
The UCI ppm values are defect estimates that represent the worst case scenario of the actual defect level since it takes into account the potential error associated with low sample size. The larger the sample size, the lower the UCI ppm value. For example, if random samples were repeatedly taken from the same population and used to determine the defect estimate in ppm, the 95% UCI ppm would represent the ppm number that 95% of the samples estimates would fall below and 5% would fall above.
The absolute value of (the standard deviation divided by the average) multiplied by 100.
Control limits reflect target +/- 3S based on the historical performance of each line in question. Choosing a best time (absence of special causes) for basing the historical performance on is preferred as long as special causes can be eliminated or corrected. Control limits are based on the best capability of each line are preferably symmetric. +/- 3S can be used for any chart with 98-100% confidence without assumptions as to normality and control. Control Limits in QW 5.0 can be fixed, blank or continuously calculated values. These values are used in the program to set the values where color changes occur in the Charts. In QW 5.0 the control limits are relative to the target and specification limits and establish a "warning track" inside the specification limits.
All leading and trailing pairs of X, Y data are removed if either X or Y are null.
Tests whether the Variation of two populations are different.
The highest value found in the data selected.
The median is a measure of control tendency derived from taking the middlemost or most central point in a set of sorted points. Half of the points will lie above the median, and the other half will lie below the median. If the number of points is odd the middle point is the median. If there is an even number of points the median is the average of the middle points.
The lowest value found in the data selected.
The Moving Range Average is based on succesive differences between individual values.
The number of non-null values found in the data selected.
Observed percent above upper control limit.
Observed percent above upper specification limit.
Observed percent above upper warning limit.
The Observed parts per million Upper Confidence Interval is an adjustment to the defect estimate to account for sampling error using the binomial distribution theory.
The value of each cell in a data collection.
Requires two separate calculations and then you select the smaller of the two results.
These equations describe the clearance between the process distribution curve and the specification limits in terms of standard deviation. The concern would be on whichever end of the distribution curve is closest to the specification limit (could be equal if the process is perfectly centered within the specification limits). A value of 1.33 or greater is considered good. A value of 1.33 would mean that the process average is four deviations away from the nearest specification limit. Compare Cr with Cpk. The process variation is in the numerator of Cr, and the denominator of Cpk (also Cp). Low Cr and high Cpk numbers are good.
The inverse of Capability Ratio.

SD Low is defined as the lowest standard deviation of a consecutive group of m points with a population of n points.
Fixed specification limits must be outside fixed control limits and the target. They reflect a shutdown scenario or a high probability that a real process or product problem exists that must be corrected immediately. They are defined via product and process research. All lines have the process capability to run within specifications with a margin that allows for control charts to provide their intended benefit of early warning. A Cr of < .75 and Tz of < .5 is preferred to allow early warning. avoid overadjustment and reactive operation. Specifications should not be calculated based on lead line capability. This will be a dilution of the quality system in terms of real meaning to the business.
The standard deviation of the Moving Range Average.
Take each individual data point and calculate the deviation of that point from the average, square the deviation (multiply it by itself), add up all the results, divide the total by one less than the number of points, then take the square root of the result.
Tests whether the Average of two populations are different.
The target should reflect the optimum place to average the process relative to product and process research. The process should have the capability to average a target. If not, the 3, 5 and 7 point rules cannot be used without creating overadjustment. Each lines' capability may require a unique target in order to use 3, 5 and 7 point control rules for certain variables. The target can be fixed, blank or continuously calculated.
In the statistics of QW 5 it is the separation between the process average and the Target value of the variable. The value shown is in units of measure of the variable and can be positive or negative, depending on whether the process average is above or below target.
This produces a number that measures how well the process is centered on target in standard deviations. A good process should be less than 0.5 away from target (can be plus or minus). A good Target Z does not necessarily mean the process is always in specification.
If Cr .5 then Tz is calculated depending on the type of spec. limits and calculated Average.
If TGT and both spec. limits are fixed the Avg is compared against Tgt +/- 4.2% of the spec. range.
If TGT and only one spec. limits are fixed the Avg is compared against Tgt +/- 8.4% of Tgt to spec. range.
If AVG is within these limits then Tz = 0.
If AVG is greater than these limits then Tz = +1.
If AVG is less than these limits then Tz = -1.
A term that describes the size of the process variability relative to the size of the specification range. It does not consider where the process is centered so a good value for capability ratio does not mean that all the values are within specification.
Collect, visualize, analyze and react to your process data so you can increase efficiencies across the manufacturing floor.

Documents in misdemeanor and traffic infraction cases for which an appeal has been made shall be returned to and filed with the clerk of the appropriate circuit court pursuant to § 16.1-135;
2. In felony cases that are certified to the grand jury, all documents shall be certified to the clerk of the appropriate circuit court pursuant to §§ 19.2-186 and 19.2-190. All other felony case documents shall be handled as provided in subdivision 1;
3. Dockets and indices shall be retained for 10 years.
B. Civil proceedings:
1. All documents in civil proceedings in district court that are dismissed, including dismissal under § 8.01-335, shall be retained until completion of the Commonwealth's audit of the court records. Notwithstanding § 8.01-275.1, the clerks of the district courts may destroy documents in civil proceedings in which no service of process is had 24 months after the last return date;
2. In civil actions that result in a judgment, all documents in the possession of the general district court shall be retained for 10 years and, unless sooner satisfied, the judgment shall remain in force for a period of 10 years;
3. In civil cases that are appealed to the circuit court pursuant to § 16.1-112, all documents pertaining thereto shall be transferred to the circuit court in accordance with those sections;
4. The limitations on enforcement of general district court judgments provided in § 16.1-94.1 shall not apply if the plaintiff, prior to the expiration of that period for enforcement, pays the circuit court docketing and indexing fees on judgments from other courts together with any other required filing fees and dockets the judgment in the circuit court having jurisdiction in the same geographic area as the general district court. However, a judgment debtor wishing to discharge a judgment pursuant to the provisions of § 8.01-456, when the judgment creditor cannot be located, may, prior to the expiration of that period for enforcement, pay the circuit court docketing and indexing fees on judgments from other courts together with any other required filing fees and docket the judgment in the circuit court having jurisdiction in the same geographic area as the general district court. After the expiration of the period provided in § 16.1-94.1, executions on such docketed civil judgments may issue from the general district court wherein the judgment was obtained upon the filing in the general district court of an abstract from the circuit court. In all other respects, the docketing of a general district court judgment in a circuit court confers upon such judgment the same status as if the judgment were a circuit court judgment;
5. Dockets for civil cases shall be retained for 10 years;
6. Indices in civil cases shall be retained for 10 years.

Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of the Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.5% Merlot, 8.7% Malbec and 2.8% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts with vibrant scents of wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and boysenberries with hints of sassafras, fragrant earth, vanilla pod and underbrush, plus a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers fantastic purity and depth, offering firm, grainy tannin's to support the bags of earth-laced black fruits, finishing long and mineral laced. Rating : 98+
Connoisseurs' Guide
By any standard, a very good and eminently collectable Cabernet that clearly shows its Diamond Creek lineage, the Volcanic Hill bottling is, in this outing and relative to its mates, a little more obvious in its tannins and a tad less polished as a result. It wants for nothing in the way of fruity substance and stuffing, and its curranty varietal bona fides are as solid as solid can be. It is, as are its two companions, a wine meant for the cellar rather than one to drink anytime soon, and there is little doubt in our minds that it will continue to evolve positively for ten to fifteen years and very likely more
Diamond Creek, California's first "Cabernet only" estate vineyard, was established in 1968. Visionary pioneer, Al Brounstein, defied modern convention and planted Bordeaux varietals on secluded Diamond Mountain. The three distinct soil types on theis 20-acre property produce different single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. Light ash soild of Volcanic Hill is in sharp contrast to the iron-rich Red Rock Terrace and the pebbly Gravelly Meadow. Each year, the estate produces a small amount of long-lived wines that are revered by connoisseurs the world over.
Diamond Mountain Wine
Napa Valley, California
Diamond Mountain is the northernmost mountain appellation in the Mayacamas Range, on the northwest side of the valley floor, above the town of Calistoga. Defined mainly by elevation, vineyards are planted at 400 to 2,200 feet.
Diamond Mountain vineyards receive plenty of sunshine at these elevations and are typically above the coastal fog line. But given its western proximity, the area still easily cools down from early morning and late afternoon Pacific Ocean breezes. The AVA (American Viticultural Area) covers 5,000 acres but just over 500 acres are under vine.
Diamond Mountain soils, mainly weathered, red sedimentary rock and decomposed, volcanic ash, are infertile, quick-draining and produce small, thick-skinned grapes, bursting with chewy tannins.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Zinfandel have great success here.
Like other sub-appellations in Napa Valley, the Diamond Mountain area had no shortage of pioneer winemakers. Rudy von Strasser led the effort for Diamond Mountain to acquire AVA status in 1999.
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, 'Cab' is responsible for some of the world's most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after "cult" wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

The work's popularity has perhaps been enhanced less by the stern tone in passages exhorting us to practice the Buddhist Way and more by such figures as the volatile high priest, sketched in his rapid progress from being nicknamed after his nettle tree, then after the stump left when he cut down the tree in anger, and finally by the hole left when he dug up the stump. As literacy and printing spread in the 1600s, Kenkō became one of the best-known authors, portrayed as a sage by some, accepted in spite of his inconsistencies by the more practical, and converted into a wag in stage plays and satires, while his work spawned numerous imitations with similar titles.
Like Sei Shōnagon, whose Makura no sōshi (The Pillow Book) he read and imitated in part, Kenkō was a low-ranking member of the aristocracy. His early readership, chiefly poetpriests like himself, appreciated most his fusion of the Buddhist understanding of impermanence with aesthetic appreciation. Kenkō responded to unstable times as no lyric writer before him had, not simply lamenting but acknowledging changes in the world. He shared the classical prejudice that the court at Kyoto was the sum of what was desirable in life, but was curious about the ways of the less cultured East, which he had visited. In Essays in Idleness, Kenkō deplores the insinuation of soldiers into a ritual at the imperial palace, yet approves of a ferocious warrior for declaring that people who do not have children cannot understand human pathos.
Kenkō's essay style incorporates subtle reframings of multiple genres, including narrative (monogatari), memoir, journal, poetic criticism, aphorism, Buddhist homily, admonition, court manual, and oral anecdote (setsuwa). Examples of the last include the crowd which pursues a woman reputed to be a demon and collapses into fistfights when the search proves fruitless; a father who will not give his daughter in marriage because she eats only chestnuts; a priest who is so singleminded that he cannot distinguish the word "horse's leg" from a Buddhist spell. Yet such anecdotes do not furnish platitudinous morals, for Kenkō's interpretative comments are often oblique or nonexistent. Moving freely from topic to topic, Kenkō dares us to accept his words (he is skeptical of much worldly talk), and defies us to form stable conclusions.
The opening line or preface tells of sitting in front of an inkstone all day long, giving in to tedium (tsurezure, the source of much vernacular prose), and scribbling trifles that occur to him until he senses absurdity. Such an apology is typical of medieval writers, who deny their overt authority in order to pull readers into closer engagement with the text. A reader of Essays in Idleness must supply logical links and otherwise enter into active dialogue with a reticent yet highly rhetorical Kenkō, who both plays upon and disappoints ordinary reactions. Even his most dogmatic passages advising swift renunciation of the world anticipate the reader's responses, while ignoring their incompatibility with his intermittent bursts of celebration of everyday life.
Kenkō is often compared to Castiglione or Montaigne. Kenkō's "good person" is one who "glances sidelong" at things, avoiding directness, a courtly but also contemplative stance. Unlike Montaigne, self-exposure is not his aim (however much it is achieved); he prefers to serve as an ironic foil to tales of self-mastery. Repeatedly hailing the role of experts, and deriding the human tendency toward waste, he relates how he once impressed a crowd at a racetrack by pointing out their similarity to a priest precariously dozing in a tree above them. Surely everyone needs to awaken to the futility of such things as equestrian entertainment, he exclaims. The chastened crowd ushers Kenkō to the front row.
The unsettling effect of his juxtapositions and incompleteness is the purpose of the essays. It is in his capturing of the aesthetic virtues of impermanence, next to karma the most influential Buddhist concept for the Japanese, that Kenkō made his prime contribution. The moon is gorgeous, but most valuable when clouds intervene to remind us how short our time is, or when we are shut inside and can only imagine its perfection.
He leans heavily on the tradition of viewing the aesthetic object as he leads us through the gardens of beautiful young men and sensitive ladies, but never with full disclosure of anything except the fact that these paragons are now just memories.
aristocratic culture in the face of a belief that change is inevitable is one of many contradictions animating the text.
Although many picture Kenkō as the worldly bonze (poetpriest) dispensing advice in a unified "guidebook of life," Essays in Idleness is on another level a guide to the instability and insubstantiality of life, a plea not to form and impose the self on the world (or the text) but to contemplate the fact that all forms are nugatory phantoms. As he quotes a man the world laughed at, "If you love life, you should love death." The essay lives by dying one word at a time.
Cognomen Yoshida; also known as Yoshida Kaneyoshi. Born Urabe Kaneyoshi, c. 1283 in Kyoto. Served in the Kyoto court as a youth. Entered the lay Buddhist priesthood as early as 1313, and thereafter attempted to live a life of refined detachment. Traveled widely, eventually settling in the Narabigaoka suburb of Kyoto. Died possibly in Iga province, c. 1352.


If you're new to WordPress you may be wondering what's the big deal behind Pages and Posts. At first glance they appear to be one and the same: if you were to create either a new page or a new post you'd be presented with nearly identical interfaces and in many cases the public appearance of pages and posts will look the same.
Don't let this fool you. There's a very fundamental difference between the two and that difference is what makes CMSs, like WordPress, great platforms for integrating blogs with traditional websites.
Think about the kind of pages that make up a typical website. Most often you'll see pages like "Home", "About Us", "Services", "Contact Us", etc. Within WordPress these are often treated as Pages; documents that have no particular regard for the time they were posted.
For example, when you visit the "About Us" page of your favorite company's website you don't expect the content to be very different from what was available there a week ago.
If you write about a variety of subjects, categories can help your readers find the posts that are most relevant to them. For instance, if you run a consulting business, you may want some of your posts to reflect work you've done with previous clients, while having other posts act as informational resources. In this particular case, you can set up 2 categories: one labeled Projects and another labeled Resources. You'd then place your posts in their respective categories.
While Mark and I had talked about the idea of a metal building at the end of my driveway, the idea really didn't take shape until Mid-march. Mark and I spent time with his engineers and the city to make sure we could design something that would meet city codes. I could not build a completely enclosed garage at the end of my driveway because of a sewer easement.
Several drawings were created, and later presented to the city, to show the ideal solution with a one car garage and a collapsible carport to allow access on the easement. These two images are the final engineering drawing. One shows the layout of exactly where the garage and carport were built. The other drawing shows the detail around the hinge for the collapsing carport.
The siding arrived and was attached rather easily!

Norwegian to Introduce Zumba Classes
Norwegian Cruise Line will introduce the popular international-inspired dance-fitness program Zumba Fitness to its ships beginning this spring. Norwegian will offer a variety of energetic Zumba classes on every cruise, led by licensed Zumba® instructors who are part of the Zumba Instructor Network.
Encouraging guests to "ditch the workout and join the party," the Zumba program is contagious, combining high-energy dance music including hip-hop, salsa, African beats and Reggaton with fun, global-inspired dance moves to create an irresistible calorie-burning bash.
"We are excited to bring Zumba Fitness onboard our ships and offer guests not just a new way to work out, but an exhilarating and easy-to-follow dance fitness-party," said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line CEO.

JCOM is an on-line journal on scientific communication. Since the world of communications and the scientific community are now undergoing a rapid, crucial and uncertain transition, JCOM is trying to become an interdisciplinary melting-pot capable of providing some theoretical guidelines for science communication. What does "science communication" actually mean today? What does science currently need, and what are the means and techniques it can avail itself of to communicate with the general public and within the scientific community itself? What sociological and epistemological problems are to be faced when models for theoretical analysis or practical means to popularise science are aimed at? How are the informative, pedagogical, interpretative and political dimensions of science communication changing? How is the relation between science and social institutions changing? What is the role of communication in this time of change?

Euro 2020 qualifying / What do the Republic of Ireland need from their final fixture against Denmark?
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy will face Denmark on Monday
Published: 17:27 Updated: 17:43 Wednesday 13 November 2019
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy is preparing for one of the most crucial matches of his international career as Republic of Ireland take on Denmark in European Championship qualifying this Monday.
Duffy would have been joined by his Albion teammate Aaron Connolly but the young striker was forced to withdraw from the squad due to a groin injury picked up last Sunday against Manchester United.
Duffy is determined to help his country reach Euro 2020, but what exactly do Ireland need from their final Group D qualifier?
Victory would see Mick McCarthy's Ireland automatically qualify at Denmark's expense due to a superior head-to-head record.
If Ireland don't win, they would have to hope Denmark lose to Gibraltar, which is highly unlikely, or Switzerland drop points against Gibraltar and Georgia.
It's similar to Ireland's World Cup 2018 qualification campaign, where they were denied after losing 5-1 at home in the play-offs against Denmark.
The Nations League play-offs will also offer four extra places to those who have failed to qualify automatically.
The draw for the play-offs will be made on 22 November, three days after the final qualifiers, and will be played between 26-31 March.
The main tournament draw is scheduled for 30 November, meaning that four group stages spots will be left open as we await the play-offs.
Republic of Ireland will tune-up for their match against Denmark with a friendly against New Zealand on Thursday.
Connolly, 19, had a scan on his groin injury which forced him off at half-time at Manchester United.
McCarthy said, "Our team doctor Alan Byrne has spoken to the Brighton medical team and had a look at the scans. The scans have confirmed the groin injury and Aaron won't be ready in time for New Zealand and Denmark."


Magnitude is a Tucson brand marketing, public relations, and multi media agency. Besides media and marketing, we also offer professional business services. Our business development team can help improve your customer experience and provide top-notch business valuation.
Business valuation is a process in which you determine the economic value of your company or business. There are many reasons why you would want to know how much your company is worth. For example, if you are selling your company or joining a partnership, you'll need to know this number. However, it's difficult to do it on your own, so usually, company owners turn to business valuators.
Why do businesses do that? Because there is more than one way to define your company's worth. While the owner might put first the benefit to the community, the investors might look at the income history instead.
How to determine how much your business is worth?
All in all, business value is the price you'd expect to sell your business for. Depending on the people involved in the process, your expected value might differ from the actual cost of your company. If you are looking to sell your business, it would be best to do a valuation and start a marketing campaign, instead of going for a quick sale. This way, you'll have better chances to sell for the expected amount.
There are three ways to find out the value of your business: asset, income, and market. All of these have multiple methods you can use, but a right combination of those will give you the most accurate number.
First, when it comes to the asset approach, you will be looking at the value of your business assets. The goal of this method is to decide the worth of your business based on the fair market value. For example, you can subtract the liabilities from the current assets, and the result will be your business value.
Second, let's look at the income approach. Here you will look at whether your business generates profit. As such, you look at your future cash flow and determine its worth on the present day market. This way, you also take into account the risks in small business.
Last but not least, a market approach is all about comparing your business to others. Basically, with this method, you compare the history of sales and earnings between your company and your competitors on the market.
Where does your business stand among its competitors?
Why should you choose our services for evaluating your business?
As we mentioned before, business valuation is difficult, and companies usually rely on professional evaluators to do it for them. That's why we at Magnitude want to help your business grow with our services. We're business professionals that own a portfolio of our own companies.
We look forward to discussing your next project with you. Contact us to schedule your free brand consultation.

"Oh boy. Do you have ginger or root beer?
So the other Brian [Editor's note: This is a two-Brian marriage] gets a choice of 20 beers and I get a Canada Dry. Greaaaaaaaaat.
Am I the only freak in Minneapolis that wants something other than Coke and Sprite?
No, Brian, you are not! I put out the call, and boy did our local barkeeps respond.
As I take it, Brian, you are looking for quality sodas in a range of inspired flavors. You are not looking for mocktails, per se, though there are lots and lots of bars that are very handy with an n/a cocktail shaker these days, too. And you are specifically looking for good sodas served at bars, where other Brian can enjoy a beer or cocktail.
Taprooms are great for beer-drinkers and non-beer-drinkers alike. Bad Weather on West Seventh Street offers not only a constantly rotating list of beers, but a constantly rotating menu of house sodas, too. They come in unique flavors like cherry vanilla and tart elderflower.
In the Midtown Global Market, Eastlake welcomes all kinds with several flavors of botanically brewed soda in bottles. There's ginger beer, lemonade, rose lemonade, cherry cola, and cola, as well as Deane's Kombucha made with fruits and hops (some Kombucha does contain a trace amount of alcohol so might not be appropriate if you're strictly avoiding alcohol) for a hoppy taste without the buzz.
One of Northeast's most popular breweries serves vintage-style pure cane sugar local sodas from Whistler as well as Kombucha from Prohibition and even Nitro coffee on tap.
These two places, where the Bittercube cocktail wizards first made their mark, both produce five housemade sodas. And even though these sodas veer into mocktail territory, we think Brian will be pleased with the inventiveness of the flavors. Try the Oh Pear! with pear syrup, lemon, seltzer, orange, and Jamaican #1 bitters or the Figgy Honey Bear with fig-honey syrup, cream, seltzer, cherry bark, and black strap bitters.
In keeping with its mission to serve all fermented everything, GYST serves seasonal Shrub Sodas and Fentiman's rose lemonade brewed with fermented botanicals.
The new bespoke adult games bar with a real restaurant and craft bar serves a "fancy fizz" with house-made syrups, shrubs, juices, and seltzers.
If you happen to be in the western 'burbs, check District Fresh Kitchen in Wayzata for a whole list of "natural refreshments," non-alcoholic sodas with a ginger beer base combined with various vegetable juices, honeys, fruit juices, and even coconut.
St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood gem serves Boylan pure cane sugar sodas, locally made Joia ll Natural fruit, herb, and spice sparkling waters, Fentiman's botanically brewed beverages, and housemade kombuchas.
Just the thing to go with sushi and ramen? Zen Box Izakaya's exotic housemade sodas in flavors such as matcha lemonade, yuzu basil mint, ginger lemonade, and pomegranate ginger.


Today, I have decided that I will work on styling and debugging any issues in the various browsers. Specifically, an issue that I ran into when I decided to change the way the search box displayed. The new search box has styling issues in both Firefox and IE. Debugging and fixing styling issues is usually painful but with a little help from Windows (the cause of all of the problems in the first place), IETester and the Firefox Developer Tools, I should be able to come up with a satisfactory solution to the search box issue.
The first thing I did this morning was update the iOS app icon to match the iOS app. This is the icon that is used when someone adds the website to their home screen.
In using the site, I had the idea to change the focus behavior of the search box. The initial design simply displayed white search text over the gradient background. I thought it might be more interesting to instead change the background of the search area to white with maroon text on focus. I also added a .2 second css transition to the background change.
Testing a website in various browsers is always the most difficult and frustrating part of designing for the web. The first thing I try to figure out is which browsers do I need to test for? This can be determined by using something like Google Analytics (you do have an analytics package installed, right?) to see which browsers (and versions) are most popular among your audience.
If traffic showed that 50% of visitors were using IE6, I'd probably shut the site down and run an ice cream truck.
Here is what I found about InThePanhandle.com. These stats make up all visits for the 2013 calendar year. I didn't feel like it was necessary to go further back than that.
For me, the Internet Explorer data is most important as it is often costly to support older versions of IE.
Thankfully, most of the traffic comes from IE 8 and above. Not because I love IE, I'd much rather users use Safari, Chrome or Firefox, but newer versions of IE are easier to support than older versions. If traffic showed that 50% of visitors were using IE6, I'd probably shut the site down and run an ice cream truck.
As you can see in the image, I have compared the header - specifically, the search field - in Safari (rendering properly) with Firefox and IE9. Both Firefox and IE have issues with padding which are more prominently seen when you click on the search box and bring it into focus.
I spent some time working with padding, margins and line-height and finally came up with a combination that worked well in each. As you can see in the image below, the search icon and placeholder text (I'm looking for…) are aligned for the most part. The icon in Safari is a couple pixels higher than I would like but for now, that's fine. Eventually, I may clean it up by either massaging the CSS a bit more or by using something like CSS Browser Selector.
That took a lot longer than I would have liked but I'd rather take the extra now to make sure it works than to have to deal with it later when the codebase is more complex.

Please be mindful that this is a transfer not a remix from my alternative account which is only used for experimentation.
A quick intro to how i did this track was a matter of an idea popping into my head and turning into perhaps one of my best pieces by far which to me ticks all the boxes in terms of varying octaves, chords progressions, different synths, some beats as well and so on.
there is some nice synth sounds, but the intro is weird, and by moment i don't arrive to catch clearly the tempo.. and it's also repetive to me..


Pary took my family and I to go see the temples in Ayutthaya, Thailand and I have to say that it was one of the best experiences that I have ever had. She was very knowledgeable about the temples and especially where it would look the nicest to take a photo. She was just amazing and very good at her job. I would very much recommend connecting with Pary and her different tour options.
We have just completed a 2 day tour with Pary- the experience was simply faultless. From the booking right through to saying goodbye Pary was the ultimate professional and so knowledgeable. There was not a question she could not answer and we learned so much more from visiting the attractions because of the commentary and information she gave us. We arrived early- so Pary arrived early, we changed our itinerary and added a very obscure attraction - which Pary sorted. Pary took care of us from crossing the road to purchasing tickets and advising us of best photo positions. Words cannot express how good she is. We were a group of two but the car could have comfortably seated 10. It had AC and the driver was extremely safe. Pary accompanied us everywhere so we literally had nothing to worry about. The tour was just perfect from start to finish.
A friend recommended Pary so I contacted her through What's app. She replied promptly and directed me to her website. It was easy to discuss our tour plans with her which was to visit Ayutthaya. We paid a small deposit fee to book her through Paypal and that was a breeze too. Before the tour date while in Bangkok, I would text Pary some questions on what train or boat to take. I asked advice regarding where to go for the day and she was always very kind and helpful. On the day itself, she was prompt and I felt instantly comfortable with her, like meeting an old friend. She gave us a tour of the grounds of the Summer Palace. Even though we couldn't go in because it was closed for renovation, she still made it as interesting as possible. We proceeded to tour the different temples in Ayutthaya. Pary has a good command of English so you can ask as many questions as you like and she will try her best to answer them all. We enjoyed the tour of Ayutthaya and a big plus is Pary takes good photos! I highly recommend Pary Happy Tour for many reasons but the primary reason is you can trust Pary to do her best in giving you the best tour possible. In fact, I plan to take her other tours when I go back to Bangkok. It's like meeting an old friend who shows you the best her country has to offer.
Pary is a marvelous Thai tour guide. My son and I took her Highlights of Bangkok tour today, which included Wat Po (Reclining Buddha), Golden Buddha Temple, Grand Palace (Emerald Buddha), Wat Arun, Flower Market, lunch, and a long-boat ride through the canals. It is a full, excellent day of touring, but what makes it superb is Pary, who knows and loves her country and its history. She points out small, exquisite details in the temples, as well as perfect locations for extraordinary photographs. Pary is happy to answer questions on Thai customs, Buddhist practices, and facts about wherever you are, and then to switch gears and help my son find the right size and color of a particular piece of clothing. It took five different merchants, but she found what he wanted. Lunch was excellent ... actually everything about the tour was excellent. If you are in Bangkok for a day, you won't regret spending it with Pary.
My husband and I did the temple tour of Bangkok with Pary and it was the best tour we did in Thailand!!! It was so amazing we booked a second tour with Pary for the floating markets. She was booked so we did the tour with Nam who was also amazing. Then, when my family arrived, they did the temple tour with Pary too! To this day we still talk about how much fun we had and how much knowledge Pary has. It's clear she loves her country so much!! Everyone told us we wouldn't like Bangkok and we shouldn't spend much time there before visiting the rest of the country. Honestly, Bangkok is amazing! There is so much history and culture and you wouldn't get the experience without an amazing tour guide like Pary! We recommended her to EVERYONE we met the rest of our time in Thailand! Thank you for such an amazing time, Pary!!
We enjoyed our day with Pary and highly recommend her for your travel needs. She speaks English beautifully, very knowledgeable, and very attentive to your needs. It was great to hear her share about her culture and customs. She will definitely have you appreciate the sights you are visiting. We had a lovely lunch, great drinks and snacks along the way too.... Thank you Pary for a great day!


What's cuter than a beret? A beret with a multi-colored pom pom on top! Our Disney Ink Beret is knitted with alternating contrasting colors to achieve the artistic "paint drip" effect. We've then added the dual branded woven label on one side and embroidered Mickey's hand holding a paint marker on the opposite side. The resulting beret is "fashion-first" with just the right amount of edge.
