Ryan Greesling, an elite hacker for the Freedom Group, tapped on the keyboard of his Toshiba laptop running Ubuntu version 8.2.1 release candidate with fixed Wifi support for Intel Centrino 3 laptops. Around his head was a microphone and he spoke into the microphone.
“Drop virus execute code”
The screen flickered an awesome green glow. The words that he had said into the microphone appeared on the screen, by the virtue of speech to text software. It was not magic – it was Magic Lizard Speak easy running on his Wine front end. He did it! The FBI website crackled and then was suddenly wiped clean.

Ryan laughed. He was so close now. He would be the most famous, elitist hacker of all.
“Drop passwordcracker.sh. Execute pearl command. Extract javascript prompt. Turn off javascript.”
The form started to fill with characters. The page began to load. And load.
Incorrect password. You have two attempts remaining.
“Oh no. Fuck. This is not good.” This was not good at all. Not. Good. He only had two more attempts to bypass the 256bit SSL security. But then Ryan remembered something. He moved his mouth across the Firefox webpage – with two quick clicks – View – Source. Bam, bam.His eyes glanced down the page like a well trained eagle targeting its hopeless Heich Tee Em Ell pray. The veins of his thick biceps filled with a crimson blood like fluid that pulsed like a sausage filled with heart cells.
Suddenly his watch beeped – 00:00:00:30 SECS REM – he had thirty seconds remaining before the cyber gateway would be closed. His heart started to beat fast, like a raging bull stampede that had before them a red handkerchief.
“Aha. I found it!”
A javascript array held a list of names and passwords. He picked one at random.
Username: Bob password: Jenna.
He filled the two fields and tapped the enter key with a single quick motion.
The page began to load. It opened.
Welcome Bob Green. Please choose the menu you wish to enter.
1)Top Secret files – Need to know only
2)Contact Information
3)Top ten wanted felons.
4)Log off
Ryan clicked on the top secret files. The page filled with blue clickable links.
1)President’s secret sex adventures
2)True identity of JFK killer
3)Ultra secret nuclear codes – don’t click unless you have to
Ryan laughed and clicked number three. “I am the best. Hahahaha.” He wrote down the code, which had a red ULTRASECRET tag around it:
(ultrasecret)1337ALPHABETACETA(/ultrasecret)
He then tapped on the back key, and clicked on the Contact information.
1)President direct line
2)President’s secret lover Kelly
3)President’s secret lover Mary
4)President’s sec…
Ryan clicked on number one.
555 2508.
He shut his laptop and turned off his router so that they couldn’t trace it anymore. The laptop was, of course, wrapped in one inch thick aluminium to protect from the FBI’s cyber cracking signal.
“Hey Kelly, is that you”
“Hi Mr President.”
“Oh hello. Is that George.”
“No. This is Ryan.”
“Oh Hi Ryan. What are you up to? Wanna come over. I’m bored.”
“Not that Ryan.” Ryan’s voice was very deep and manly like a bear.
“Oh, right. Look, I guess Mary told you. Don’t worry, about that Ryan. That happened only once. She only used mouth, I swear.”
“My name is Ryan Greesling. I have the nuclear codes”
“Oh crap, really. That’s not good.”
“Yes. And I want ten hundred billion dollars for them.”
“That’s a lot of money Ryan. I don’t…”
“By twelve o’clock tomorrow.”
Ryan hung up. It would be over soon.
At least you laughed cath, it was meant to be nothing but a bit of a spoof.
A welthy friend and I enjoyed a few glasses of a 93 cabernet which she got from her basement. I just want to know how expensive of a wine was I sipping on. Its an extremely good wine full body and the legs on this wine was about 1/4 in apart

Usually we hang out on the weekend and party pretty hard, but tomorrow night we’re hanging out and I am cooking him dinner to save money. I also got a bottle of wine. What else can we do? I would offer to stay in and watch a movie, but we did that all day yesterday and my roommate will be home.
Summer Wine
The silver glitter grains of sand
flow through shapely glass of clarity
they flow in silence perpetually,
as another babe of breath is born,
Vigorously; he learns to crawl…..
to stand, to walk, and youthfully
to romp, to frolic, to dance,
to a drum beat all his own.
In bloom he flourished fruitfully
growing big and strong, and for long
he savored tasty sips of summer wine,
Oblivious;
to the sparkling gritty silver’s silent flow,
never to upend the shapely glass
never to hear the tempo’s toll
slipping away, sipping golden summer wine.
Obsessed;
with vineyards fragrant fermented fruit,
by the light of the moon,the rise of the sun
that danced to the beat of his lonely drum
of rhetorical rhythm and blues,
out of sync with the silver sands flow,
whilst, sipping fruitless fermented vintage vine,
spilling the last full glass of summer wine,
He recalled
He crawled…..
Inspired by poets of yahoo, that spoke of "time" so much, last week.
As well various other thoughts of mine combined.
I like Druid’s Fluid from Troon Vineyard in Oregon!

I’m having a wine and cheese reception on Friday and want to get others’ perspectives and tastes - I know what I like but I’d like to get outside of my "comfort zone". What wines and cheeses do you like together? If you were going to answer Franzia boxed Rose and Velveeta, please just move along - that’s just plain wrong. 
Oh, and "oenophile" means wine enthusiast.
It just seems a little odd, is my friend confused or do I need a license to import some tasty Spanish wine?
Me and my hubby are working on a business plan for a winery where we have tastings and a place to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine with some fresh fruit or cheese and in another area of the establishment my husband wants to serve beer and have an open area for local bikers to come and hang out. Sounds weird but if we find the right location it will be a great attraction. I can’t for the life of me figure out an awesome name and would love some ideas if you have any.
I am invited to my gf’s family’s thanksgiving dinner, I wanna take a bottle of wine with me for them. so do I have to wrap with gift paper or what? or just take it like that? I dont know what people do. Thanks.
