RED WINES There are literally thousands of red wines from around the world, from Alaska to Argentina, from California to China, and everywhere in between. Instead of giving you the world view, here are 4 of the most popular grapes and regions. Merlot Tastes change over the years, what the public liked 10 years ago with respect to wine, is completely different than it is today. 10 years ago, it was the great surge of Pinot Noir and the bashing of Merlot thanks to the now famous movie Sideways. Everyone forgot about the great French classic, Merlot, and moved to another great French classic, Pinot Noir, but we did it all because of California grape tours on the big screen.

The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question.

10 Verbal Communication Skills Worth Mastering Last week I read a blog post 7 Personal Branding Predictions for 2011 by personal branding expert Dan Schawbel. One of his seven predications for 2011 was that soft skills will become more important than hard skills. Dan said, “When enough people have similar talents, and are competing for the same positions and opportunities, the real differentiator is your interpersonal skills. The way you present yourself, how you communicate with other people, whether it’s in an interview or with management at work, can make or break your personal brand. More and more people are starting to realize that the little things matter, especially in our current competitive environment.” Schawbel then went on to highlight a new research report by Kelly Services conducted with 134,000 people.

Linux Environment Variables - Linux Commands LINUX CLASSES - THE BASICS Environment Variables Environment variables in the bash shell help you in several ways. Certain built-in variables change the shell in ways that make your life a little easier, and you can define other variables to suit your own purposes. Here are some examples of built-in shell variables: · PS1 defines the shell's command-line prompt. · HOME defines the home directory for a user. · PATH defines a list of directories to search through when looking for a command to execute. To list the current values of all environment variables, issue the command env or list a specific variable with the echo command, prefixing the variable n ame with a dollar sign (the second line shows the result of the echo command): echo $HOME/home/hermie You've already learned how to customize your shell prompt with the PS1 variable. Understanding the Path Variable As in DOS, the shell uses the PATH variable to locate a command. echo $PATH/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin cd $code
