I FC you give everything an A, B, or C priority.  RTM handles that fine.  But then you go back and prioritize the As 1, 2, 3...., same with Bs and Cs.  RTM doesn't allow that second level of prioritization.  I found you post google searching for an answer to that problem.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mike Hardin</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:46:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Gary Vaynerchuck on Conan O&amp;#8217;Brien</title><link>http://www.deanwhitney.com/2008/05/14/gary-vaynerchuck-on-conan-obrien/#comment-677476</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Gary  Vaynerchuck  is THE man ..he  put my Monet's Palate 2004 Cab on the map..SPAGO os serving it at good old Wolfgang Place but Wine Library is the ONLY wine store in the country to buy this wonderful Atlas Peak Napa valley crush..Thanks Gary..ps check out page 12 of The Wine Spectator this month they mention Monet's Palate my filmm with Meryl Streep, Daniel Boulud, Alice Waters, Steve Wynn and Michel Richard..as we would say in Monet's Palate country a Toast to Claude but in this case ( no pun implied) a toast to Gary V.  thanks for all your support.
