State Dept. Overseers of Contentious Enbridge Tar Sands Pipeline Workaround Have Industry, Torture Ties
1:51 pm in Uncategorized by Steve Horn
The Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and other green groups recently revealed that pipeline giant Enbridge got U.S. State Department permission in response to its request to construct a U.S.-Canada border-crossing tar sands pipeline without earning an obligatory Presidential Permit.
Enbridge originally applied to the Obama State Department to expand capacity of its Alberta Clipper (now Line 67) pipeline in November 2012, but decided to avoid a "Keystone XL, take two" — or a years-long permitting battle — by creating a complex alternative to move nearly the same amount of diluted bitumen ("dilbit") across the border.
The move coincides with the upcoming opening for business of Enbridge's "Keystone XL" clone: the combination of the Alberta Clipper expansion (and now its alternative) on-ramp originating in Alberta and heading eventually to Flanagan, Ill., the Flanagan South pipeline running from Flanagan, Ill. to Cushing, Okla. and the Cushing, Okla. to Port Arthur, Texas Seaway Twin pipeline.
Together, the three pieces will do what TransCanada's Keystone XL hopes to do: move dilbit from Alberta's tar sands to Port Arthur's refinery row and, in part, the global export market.
Environmental groups have reacted with indignation to the State Department announcement published in the Federal Register on August 18. The public commenting period remains open until September 17.
Jim Murphy, senior counsel for NWF, referred to it as an "illegal scheme," while a representative from 350.org says Enbridge has learned from the lessons of its corporate compatriot, TransCanada.
"When we blocked Keystone XL, the fossil fuel industry learned that they have a much stronger hand to play in back rooms than on the streets," said Jason Kowalski, policy director for 350.org. "They will break the law and wreck our climate if that's what it takes for them to make a buck."
But as the old adage goes, it takes two to tango.
That is, influential State Department employees helped Enbridge find a way to smuggle an additional 350,000 barrels of tar sands per day across the border without public hearings or an environmental review.
Thus far, those following the issue have described the Enbridge maneuver as some sort of bureaucratic snafu.
"If anyone who's high up in the State Department actually knew about this, they'd be up in arms," 350.org's Kowalski said in a recent interview with EnergyWire in reaction to State's decision.
The reality, though, is more sordid. That is, higher-ups made this call, not just "bad apples."
One of them has a key tie to the oil and gas industry, while the other helped lay the groundwork for the controversial "extraordinary rendition" torture program as a Bush Administration State Department attaché.
Patrick Dunn's Industry Ties
On July 24, State Department staffer Patrick Dunn signed off on a letter rubber-stamping Enbridge's pipeline chess move. In giving Enbridge authorization on official State Department letterhead, Dunn claimed it was not a form of authorization.
"Enbridge's intended changes…do not require authorization from the U.S.Department of State," Dunn wrote in the letter. "[W]e will consider [your] letter and its attachments to amend and to be part of your Presidential Permit for the capcity (sic) expansion in Line 67."
Dunn's letter does not give his job title, perhaps leading NWF to write him off as simply a "mid-level State Department official" in an August 25 blog post. His current position and State Department background, however, tells a different story.
A February 2014 letter obtained by DeSmogBlog lists Dunn's role as deputy office director for the Bureaus of European Affairs, the Western Hemisphere and African Affairs.
More specifically, Dunn heads up the three regions' bureaus of energy resources, described as a "chief of staff" in an August 11 article published on Dominican Today. That article highlighted Dunn's efforts — alongside Vice President Joe Biden — to cut deals with the Dominican Republic's government, turning the country into an importer of gas obtained via hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in the U.S.
Before working his way up to the powerful Bureau of Energy Resources, Dunn helped lead numerous U.S. Embassies abroad, including in Honduras and Angola as top economic adviser, and Cape Verde as deputy embassy director.
What came before any of that, though, may go a long way in explaining how he came to oversee such an important cross-border pipeline project in the first place.
According to the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association (PESA), Dunn graduated in 1997 from the Association's Foreign Service Officer Energy Industry Training Program, which is funded in part by the State Department and has a Board of Directors stuffed with oil and gas industry executives.
"PESA's Foreign Service Officer Energy Industry Training Program was created in 1993 to increase the practical knowledge of energy attaches and economic officers with responsibility for oil and gas issues stationed in American embassies in countries where energy is a major issue," reads a Program description.
A glance at PESA's website demonstrates that industry executives regularly serve as presenters at the Foreign Service Officer Energy Industry Training Program.
Deborah Klepp's Ties to Rendition, Corrupt Contracting
Though Dunn wrote the July 24 letter to Enbridge, he is not the only senior level State Department staffer overseeing the Enbridge Alberta Clipper file.

Delegate Management in Wigtown
Wigtown, located in the south of Scotland and the country's first "book town", has over a dozen bookshops as well as a distillery at Bladnoch, specialist shops and historic buildings, making the town a great choice for team away days and meetings for small corporate groups.
Whether your audience is internal or external, it is vital for them to have a positive experience during the lead up to your event

FOUR LIONS star Riz Ahmed is the lead in this crime thriller from first-time director Ben Drew (aka rapper/singer-songwriter Plan B).
The story unfolds in Forest Gate, East London, where four characters' lives intertwine over the course of a few days through the medium of rap music. This low-budget British urban drama may sound like it's cut from a familiar cloth, but with an intriguing episodic structure, a promising up-and-coming cast and a storming soundtrack courtesy of its BRIT award-winning director, ILL MANORS might just be one of the year's surprise packages.

Term employed in an ecclesiastical and an historical signification. In the former use it denotes the ecclesiastical system in which the pope as successor of Saint Peter and Vicar of Jesus Christ governs the Catholic Church as its supreme head. In the latter, it signifies the papal power viewed as a political force in history since the beginning of the Christian era. Pagan, barbarian, and Turk invaded Europe in turn, and succumbed to its civilizing influence. Art, science, and literature were preserved and perfected under the protection of the papacy, and from the Reformation to the present day its influence has been felt in every field of endeavor, in spite of opposition and oppression.

Bates Masi Architects
For his own family, Masi designed a house that communes with nature. A wall of roll-up garage doors opens the entire living area to the deck; a two-sided, copper-clad fireplace weathers with the seasons; and a frosted-glass pane obscures an open deck off

The calmness of the client's opalescent glass egg inspired the interior of this Tribeca loft, designed with decorator Christopher Collins.
In the master bath, 6-inch-thick cast glass, lit from below, floats atop an African ribbon-striped mahogany cabinet.
The screen walls, roofs, and random-width decks keep the boundaries between indoors and outdoors in play.
The architects removed decorative trim and painted the house gray to emphasize the mahogany wood screens and copper tubes, which interact with rainwater.
The house's stripped-down style extends to the exterior, where prefabricated fibercement siding and wood screens form a crisp, abstract composition.
To fulfill novelist Caroline Upcher's dream of living simply among her many books, Masi devised a system of off-the-shelf industrial steel racks strong enough to hold up the roof and second story, thus eliminating the need for load-bearing partitions. Ups

The large living/dining room is one of three volumes that make up the main house.
Northwest Peach Farm, currently under construction, is organized horizontally as a series of secluded retreats, like the wooded clearings in which peaches were once cultivated on the site.

It's just possible that Harry Bates and Paul Masi, AIA, hold the record for architectural partners with the biggest age difference between them. Bates, 79, was designing houses two decades before Masi was even born. During Bates' years of architecture school at North Carolina State University, the lineup of visiting professors included such luminaries as Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, and Buckminster Fuller—men who were long gone by the time Masi entered Harvard in the mid-1990s. One might question whether a septuagenarian and a Gen Xer can create buildings that speak the same language. But they can and they do—quite happily, it seems. These two are not only compatible, their work is turning heads. In the past few years, the Sag Harbor, N.Y.-based duo has captured national attention and a handful of design awards, including a recent Grand award from this magazine.
When asked, Bates, a southern gentleman with a friendly, laid-back demeanor, can't recall offhand the exact year he and Masi made their business partnership official, and it's clear that such details are trivial to him. What matters is that he's working harder now than he was at 65—and having more fun. Yet Bates' easygoing charm belies the discipline with which he runs the office, a light-filled space with 10-foot ceilings on the second floor of an old bank overlooking Main Street. Sure, this is a beach community, but you probably won't find employees wearing flip-flops on the job. The firm operates with the same professional efficiency that Bates insisted on when he had an office in Manhattan. "There's a sense of order that we communicate to clients," Bates says. "We always wear our neckties to work. Even out here people understand and respect that."
Masi and Bates have been practicing together full time for six years. In that span they've become known for a highly personalized design approach—one that results in precise, unexpected houses which tell a story about the people who live there. Another element of their success that quickly becomes obvious to those who hire them is their firm conviction that designing a house should be fun; otherwise, why bother? These talents suit their sophisticated clientele to a tee. While their commissions occasionally take them to other vacation hot spots like Cape Cod and the Caribbean, their base in New York's fashionable Hamptons provides a steady stream of well-educated, design-conscious clients ranging from writers and artists to lawyers and bankers, many of them from Manhattan and Los Angeles.
Masi himself was summering at his parents' house in Montauk, N.Y., in 1996 when he noticed, quite by accident, Bates' ad in the local paper. The way Masi tells it, he was opening the house for the season, about to use the newspaper to start a fire in the fireplace, when his eyes fell on the ad. On summer break from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Masi wasn't looking for a job. Still, he figured he'd check it out and made an appointment. "Harry's experiences were amazing, and I was impressed that someone of his quality was out here," says Masi, 34. "We had a lot of similar interests, and our sensibilities about living were in tune." The feelings were mutual. "I just liked his enthusiasm, his youth, his spirit," Bates says of Masi, "and I thought it would be a lot of fun to work together." Masi worked for Bates that summer and the next, and after finishing graduate school he joined the firm permanently, becoming a partner shortly thereafter.
The pair's compatibility comes, in part, from the fact that they are both hardwired to look more toward the present than the past for inspiration. A native of Garden City on Long Island, N.Y., and the son of artists, Masi dates his early admiration for clean, restrained architecture to a house owned by friends of his parents—a glass box on a hill designed by Alan Chimacoff, AIA, in 1972. "I think I saw that it was a different way of living, and I liked it," he says. "It was so different that it was almost experimental, and that's what really attracted me to it. I appreciate classical architecture, but it doesn't work with what we do."
And while Bates respects its beauty, he, too, has always felt an intellectual disconnect from traditional architecture. Twenty years ago he was asked to design the renovation of a grand old Boston apartment that involved replicating plaster moldings. It was a fun project, he remembers, but totally foreign, and it was the only time he put molding on anything. "The decoration was very sumptuous, and I liked looking at it," he says. "But you look at it and don't have any feeling that you had anything to do with it."
No doubt coming of age in the middle of the last century has influenced the way Bates thinks about design. He grew up in the hilly terrain of Gainesville, Fla., and remembers when Paul Rudolph began partnering with Ralph Twitchell in Sarasota, Fla., to design houses with poured-concrete floors, glass walls, and rooms that opened to terraces and gardens. In college at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Bates majored in bacteriology under a misguided notion that his father, a country doctor, wanted him to study medicine. But courses in art and archaeology rekindled his long-standing interest in architecture, and he went on to North Carolina State University in Raleigh, earning a bachelor's degree in architecture in 1952.
Fast-forward 42 years, and Masi was finishing up studies at the Catholic University of America School of Architecture and Planning in Washington, D.C. He did his fifth-year thesis at University College London, when Modernist architect Peter Cook was dean. After graduating in 1994, Masi accepted a job at Richard Meier & Partners Architects in New York City, where he gained rigorous training in how to run an office, how to put together a set of drawings, and how to work with an array of consultants and project types. Two years later, deciding he wanted to teach, Masi enrolled at Harvard for graduate study. There, he says, stylistic discussions never came up. Instead, he was encouraged to explore new ideas about how people live, to redefine what materials can do, and to programmatically change the way a house functions.
"A lot of the houses we work on are about the experience of living there, from taking a shower to being able to open up the entire wall of your living room," Masi says. "It makes the day so much better when you're able to do these sorts of things, and I think modern architecture is conducive to that. You don't have any parameters, whereas if you're doing traditional architecture it's hard to break out of it without it becoming a little strange."
Indeed, the partners' success has a lot to do with their willingness to defy conventions in the service of client, site, and program. The Amagansett, N.Y., house that Bates Masi designed for British-born novelist Caroline Upcher, for example, takes the live/work concept to an entirely new level. An offbeat box fitted with steel brackets, the house allowed Upcher, who was downsizing from an adjacent house, to realize her dream of living surrounded by her books—all 2,000 of them. In fact, it was one of the few requests she made when the architects asked her to write a letter describing how she lives. Her other requirement: that the house be built for $200,000, or $166 a square foot. Given the prohibitive cost of construction in the Hamptons, this seemed almost impossible, and Bates Masi might have said no. But the program intrigued them, and if ever a client and architecture firm were destined to work together, this was it: Bates had designed Upcher's original house in 1968, and Masi was her neighbor.

Ooh - BAD timing for travel to Hawaii - and if not booked by now you probably just about have to have a travel agent. Good thing this is just the honeymoon and not the wedding, if you are booking now - so an agent will be even more important to you in this case, though I guess you might get a decent deal with an airline-sponsored package deal for two as well, if any are still available.
My experience - a good travel agent is worth their weight in gold - we give ours a thank-you gift each year. We have one that charges $35 a person fee for all but extensive foreign travel packages (they make most of their money off booking commissions). We use her for all travel except simple mileage-plan-paid there-and-back trips when there is no rental car or motel involved, because when she does the booking she generally saves us about $25-50/day just on rental car and hotel/motel. For instance, on one Disney World trip we were able to take the 4 in the family PLUS our kid's two best friends for about 5 days there, staying on-property with preferred passes, for the same amount as just the normal two adult cost - a thousand plus in savings. We can go online and see zero mileage or discount seats available for an entire week - yet she is able to get us seats on the day we want in most cases, or at worst one day away, and almost always on mileage even though the airlines themselves say no mileage seats are available - including at high travel periods.
Of course, you need a conscientious one with lots of experience who knows the system ins and outs, and preferably running on the Sabre reservation system because it shows a lot more than competing systems and makes finding alternative booking easier, as I understand it.
Using a travel agency (preferably one with several people working there and 24-hour emergency service) also gives you a firm point of contact to solve any problems or rescheduling - we have had 10 minute rebooking several times when a flight was cancelled - generally before the airline even got around to starting to help passengers get on other flights, and an agent carries a LOT more weight with rental car agencies or hotels or airlines than you do if the reservation is screwed up by them. Oh, and our agent always gets us a free car upgrade too - typically jumped up 2 grades at no extra charge.
Don't leave it ALL to the agent - give a synopsis of what type of lodging and seating and such you want and things you want to visit, then let him/her come back with a concept plan for approval modification, then to a hold reservation for your approval - typically an agent can put a "hold" on reservations for 24-48 hours for your approval, though that does require you stay on top of your eMail to respond back with OK or not in time to allow cancelling or confirming the reservation within that timeframe.
Travel Agent reviews in Houma
planned our flights (domestic and international), hotels, excursions, and land transportation. We visited 3 states within during a 14 day period. It all came together perfectly.
We told generally what we wanted to do and he did the rest. When we got to our hotel inSydney, there was a brochure waiting with vouchers for all the activities he had planned for us. There was a separate itinerary packet that went into more details about each of our excursions. We just had to get on the bus and have fun.
As soon as we got home, sent an e-mail asking how about our trip and if we had suggestions for him so he can help his future clients better. That was awesome. followed up immediately on the feedback we provided.
provided a lot of upfront communication and kept in touch leading up to the trip. He sent us lots of information about being prepared for the trip.
It was awesome and I highly recommend him.
She also recommended travel insure which we purchased. This was a godsend as my mother became ill the first night of the cruise and had to be taken to a hospital in the Cayman Island and then flown back to Ft. via air ambulance. The travel insurance company did an excellent job of making the arrangements for us. Thankfully, my mother has since recovered.
Our reservation was for the month of January. When we made our reservation in September, we were told by the owner that only the balconies would be under construction, and the agreement merely stated that the patios would be closed off. No mention was made of the long-duration -hammering, or of the myriad of other inconveniences such as atriums being closed for painting on certain days, the beach access being closed, or the elevator doors being replaced. However, once we arrived, we quickly realized we could not stay there. The jackhammer noise was almost deafening. You literally could not hear yourself talk inside your own condo while this was going on. Regardless of whether they were hammering on the 15th floor or the 1st floor, the sound would travel through the concrete structure all the same. Also, the -hammering would begin as early as 7:00 AM, and not end until 4:00-5:00 PM.
The owner refuses to return our money, and is ignoring all attempts at contact. I feel should compel the owners who rented their condos during this time to give refunds.
Especially avoid the owner D. of unit E5A. He is the one who did not give the correct scope and duration of the construction, and is refusing contact, or refunds. We have found him to be very unethical, and he even falsely accused us of $400.00 damage. I am livid about that. This is his listing: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/florida/north-west/main-north-west/ -beach/ ?sort+by=ReviewCount%2fDescending.
Make sure you book with another owner.
It is a beautiful place to stay otherwise, but watch which owner you deal with. Not all of them at are ethical.

Artifacts tell the story
By Erik Strohl
This time of year is extremely busy for the Curatorial Department at the Hall of Fame. Our busiest time of year is the offseason because come April and Opening Day, all of our new exhibits are either planned or well under way, and maintenance on existing exhibits must be done on a yearly basis.
Among the many existing exhibits in need of updating in the offseason are: Autumn Glory, the exhibit focused on the World Series; the Records Room, which lists statistics of career and active record-holders in both pitching and hitting; and the Major League Baseball awards, featuring honors such as the Gold Glove and Cy Young Awards. We also do a fair amount of digital curatorial work, updating Hall of Famer databases and Web content.
We have a unique position as curators because when something is incorrect in our exhibits, our visitors let us know. That shows the passion that baseball fans have for the game and its history. Many fans come in and may be more knowledgeable than we are on a specific topic or team like the 1950s Cleveland Indians or the current state of Minor League franchises for the Chicago Cubs. The strength that our curatorial team has is a vast general knowledge as well as the resources at our fingertips to gain more information. Our fans always keep us on our toes to make sure our information is accurate and up to date.
The fun part about working at the Hall of Fame is you can go home and watch baseball on television and say it's your job — because it is. So that is something that I will never get tired of. Sometimes you just have to sit back and smile because you get paid to do baseball.
In April, we will be opening Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream which will be a retrospective of his entire career. Up until this point, the only person who has had an entire exhibit dedicated in his honor had been Babe Ruth.
The exhibit will cover Aaron's youth, growing up playing baseball to his career in the Negro leagues with the Indianapolis Clowns and the Minor Leagues in Eau Claire (Wis.) and Jacksonville (Fla.). It will obviously look at his Major League career, which is what we have focused on in the past.
We will also cover his post-baseball career and really talk about his business and philanthropy efforts for the first time. Many people may not realize the impact Aaron has had both domestically and internationally since he retired. He really used the celebrity and iconic status that he earned as a player to make a larger difference off the field.
The artifacts in this exhibit are unbelievable. Most have been donated by Aaron himself — in fact 85-90 percent of the artifacts that will be on display come from Aaron. He has been extremely generous with us. All of his records, particularly the chasing of Babe Ruth's career home-run record, will be covered extensively.
This new permanent exhibit will become a part of our new massive expansion of our Records Room over the next few years which will eventually be called the Hank Aaron Hall of Records. Permanent exhibits are really only changed every 10-20 years, so this is truly historic. Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream will open April 25.
Our second large-scale exhibit opening this year is �Viva Baseball!, slated to debut May 23. This is an exhibit we have been wanting to do, and its subject matter becomes more prevalent every year in the modern game. This is the story of Latinos in baseball and the impact on the game that Latinos have had.
It will be located in the second-floor timeline around the 1960s. It will be a room covering the history of baseball in most of the Latin-American countries where baseball is played as well as the cultural transition that baseball has had and the impact players have had on Major League Baseball today.

quote:Wouldn't it have been more likely that he started juicing around 93 with Caminiti (known juicer) Bagwell and Luis Gonzalez (alleged juicers) all on his team?
quote:mitchell report was a long time after steroids were first a major part of baseball
quote:well sure (in retrospect) but Brady Anderson, Gary Sheffield, Raf Palmiero etc went largely unnoticed as probable PED users at the time
quote:Alex Sanchez. 1st player caught juicing. He was tiny speedster with no power. If he was juicing, everyone was juicing. And there is no body type to a juicer. It's ridiculous to think so.
quote: 24, 26 and 21 HRs. He had just hit 20 a few years before, so we aren't talking a massive jump.
quote: So he plays an entire year in the OF and decides he needs to juice?
quote: mitchell report was a long time after steroids were first a major part of baseball I dont see your point.
quote:not that much higher than his career numbers.
quote:define "career numbers"
quote:i could see how those numbers would match up, he was a pretty strong hitter for most of his career.
quote:e hit 20 HR five times in 16 seasons, then hit 20 HR 3 of his last 4, which also had his 2 highest HR total seasons.
quote:Maybe he was already juicing. It isn't a magic elixir that guarantees 20+ HRs. Or maybe after his 1st year in the OF he felt he was lacking in some areas?
quote:Maybe he did? 1993 was his first 20 HR season and when he became more of a power hitter. Hmmmmm
quote:Biggio FB% numbers climbed those years he hit 20+ HR, while his HR/FB% also climbed up a bit its not that much higher than his career numbers. Sounds like he just tried to start lifting the ball a little more
quote:this is the first time I've ever heard of Biggio being linked to steroids.
quote:as he ever actually tied to steroid use? No
quote:Biggio should be a first ballot. Might not be, but 3000 hits are 3000 hits.
quote:Piazza is definitely in
quote:Biggio won't be a first ballot HOF because Sandy Alamor wasn't IMO.

Isabel Ferrando's Châteauneuf domaines remain reference points as her holdings have grown
Posted: July 11, 2014 By James Molesworth
Domaine St.-Préfert and Domaine Ferrando, the joint domaines owned by Isabel Ferrando, have become reference points for red and white Châteauneuf-du-Pape since they were founded in 2002 and 2004, respectively. On this visit, I tasted both the 2012 and 2013 lineups. Here are my notes.

Washington winery with "chemical symbols" on the label returns with a new direction
Posted: July 8, 2014 By Harvey Steiman
The Washington wine label Wines of Substance was invented in 2006 by a couple of Walla Walla hotshots—Waters' winemaker Jamie Brown and Greg Harrington, founder of Gramercy Cellars. It had a promising early run. Some of the wines hit 90 points on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale. The black-and-white label design emulated the periodic table of the elements you might recall from chemistry class, assigning two-letter symbols to the grape varieties used to make the wines, priced at $14 to $20.

But there's nothing ordinary about this young Rhône domaine
Posted: July 8, 2014 By James Molesworth
There are different ways to create a domaine. Most who start from scratch build up slowly, progressing linearly, either growing in size and/or refining or evolving their style over the years (see: Barrot, Julien or Giraud, Marie). Or you can go about it in a completely different way, experimenting, exploring tangents and basically doing things that people tell you not to do.
"I have people stopping when they see my vineyard and coming to tell me I'm crazy. They say 'You can't do it that way.' And I say, 'Why not?'" said Mounir Saouma.

Jean-Paul Daumen shifts his philosophy while maintaining quality
Posted: July 3, 2014 By James Molesworth
The last time I visited with Jean-Paul Daumen, I wrote about how this soft-spoken but very serious vigneron doesn't change much, but instead just quietly cranks out some of the best and most long-lived wines in the AOC. Of course, on this visit, he's now in the midst of quite a bit of change ….

Alternative closures minimize the chance of a faulty wine
Posted: July 2, 2014 By James Laube
When I travel with wine, I prefer bottles with twist-off seals. That shouldn't come as a surprise to any regular readers of this blog or my magazine column. I'm convinced of the validity of twisties, and hauling around a case of them gives me a chance to test my own belief.
I recently spent a week on the Pacific on a fishing boat half-way down the Baja California coast, and the captain and the owners of the Sojourn, out of San Diego, all but encouraged anglers to BYOW, since that was one item they didn't stock (the meals, by the way, were excellent).

I always like to stop in with the brothers Coulon at Domaine de Beaurenard after visiting Clos des Papes. Not only are they right across the street, so I won't be running too late, as tastings with Paul and Vincent Avril can run a little over budgeted time, but they provide a great contrast. Clos des Papes makes one wine, aged in foudre and without new oak, while at Beaurenard there are a few cuvées, and there's a mix of vat, demi-muid and barrel aging, including some new oak.
But don't make the mistake of thinking that Domaine de Beaurenard only makes a merely modernized wine—far from it. The Coulons have been farming biodynamically for a few years now and their wines, while framed by toasty spice notes, drip with plenty of terroir. For background on Frédéric and Daniel Coulon, the good ol' boys of Châteauneuf-du-Pape white wines, you can reference several older posts, starting with the notes from my June 2012 visit.

There's a lot of hard work and devotion behind Grand Award-winning restaurants
Posted: July 2, 2014 By Tim Fish
Some of my favorite non-fiction books are restaurant wine lists. I can read them for hours. But have you ever been to a restaurant that seemed out of a key wine or two on the list? Sometimes you have to wonder if a wine list is more fiction than fact.
That's not a concern when it comes to restaurants with Grand Awards from Wine Spectator's Restaurant Wine List program. Each potential Grand Award winner is thoroughly vetted and goes through an onsite inspection. The goal is to discover and honor truly great wine programs, and nine times out of 10 that's exactly what we find.

Schramsberg Vineyards sparkles in an Old World–New World face-off
Posted: July 1, 2014 By Alison Napjus
I have an Old World palate. What can I say? After years of reviewing and drinking French, Italian and Spanish wines, there's really no avoiding it. But that doesn't mean I eschew bottlings from the other side of the ocean, i.e. this side! I'm particularly fascinated by those modeled on Old World versions, and I love to see where the Old and the New line up and where they diverge.
With that philosophy in mind, and given the special place in my heart for France's Champagne region, I was excited when recently in Napa Valley to visit with Schramsberg Vineyards owner and winemaker Hugh Davies.

Posted: July 1, 2014 By James Molesworth
I finished off a day of visiting some of the town's youngest vignerons (Julien Barrot of Domaine La Barroche and Marie Giraud of Domaine Giraud) with a stop at Domaine de la Charbonnière, where Véronique Maret, just 30, assumed full control of the winemaking in 2012, after starting at the domaine alongside her father, Michel, in 2009.

With nearly 25 acres of estate vines in Corton-Charlemagne, almost one-third of the appellation, Louis Latour is an important producer. Along with Bonneau du Martray, Latour's Corton-Charlemagne is the version that Americans are most likely to find at restaurants and retail stores.
Louis-Fabrice Latour, president of Beaune-based Louis Latour, was in New York this month to present a vertical of 19 vintages of its Corton-Charlemagne from 2012 back to 1990.

A scattered view of those who give it all up for wine

American Wine Story is a fascinating, gritty and ultimately bittersweet movie about the people who give up their day jobs to make wine in unexpected places across the United States. It focuses on the story of Brooks Wines, a small but fast-growing winery in Oregon founded in 1998, and the outpouring of support from others in the industry on the untimely death of its founder in 2004.

Marie Giraud has steadily piloted her family domaine to the top

A semi-regular stop when I'm in the area, you can reference background on Domaine Giraud from my 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 blog notes.
Marie Giraud, along with her brother François, has steadily put this family domaine among the elite of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The pair is hands-on, managing their 62 acres (spread over a staggering 64 parcels) and produce on average 5,000 cases annually.

With 10 vintages under his belt, Julien Barrot refines his style
Posted: June 26, 2014 By James Molesworth
When he first started at his family domaine, Julien Barrot (who previously guest blogged for us during a harvest) had short hair and admittedly put a lot of himself into his wines. Now, though still just a young 34, Barrot has let his locks grow long, and he feels he's learned a thing or two over his first 10 vintages at Domaine La Barroche in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Nicolas Boiron refines his approach without losing his identity
Posted: June 25, 2014 By James Molesworth
On the Route d'Orange, just past Pierre Usseglio as you head by the Châteauneuf itself, sits the family-run Bosquet des Papes.
Nicolas Boiron is the fifth generation of his family to tend vines. After his predecessors started the estate and cobbled together various parcels, his grandfather began planting vines, and his father eventually bottled the domaine's first commercial production in 1966. Nicolas, 43, took over in 2004, and today he oversees the winemaking from the family's 79 acres of vines (covering 42 parcels), the majority in the northern end of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in top lieux-dits such as Pignan, Gardioles, Gardine and Mont-Redon. The majority of the domaine's vines are on clay, with some galets and sand and a very small amount on limestone. Total annual production stands at about 7,000 cases.

Could it be déjŕ vu ... all over again?
Saturday, January 19, 2013
As fellow Democrats race to put bills on the desk of Gov. Maggie Hassan that will increase taxes on beer, gas and vehicle registrations, so too is the State Employees Association rushing the governor for more taxpayer money.
We have to wonder if Lacey is willing to eat some of her own pleading by having to answer to those who lose their jobs for the sake of upping the pay for those who remain.
For too many it isn't getting any better out in the world of free enterprise where success is measured by profit and loss, not whether you can tax someone enough to give someone (read: state employees) a pay raise.

Retropharyngeal abscess is a collection of pus in the tissues in the back of the throat. It is a potentially life-threatening medical condition.
Retropharyngeal abscess generally affects children under age 5, but it can occur at any age.
Infected material (pus) builds up in the space around the tissues at the back of the throat. This can occur during or immediately after a throat infection.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and look inside the throat. The doctor or nurse may gently rub the back of the throat with a cotton swab. This is to take a sample of tissue to check it more closely and is called a throat culture .
Other tests may include:
Surgery is needed to drain the infected area. Corticosteroids are sometimes given to reduce airway swelling. High-dose antibiotics are given through a vein (intravenous ) to treat the infection.
The airway will be protected so that it does not become completely blocked by the swelling.
It is important to get immediate medical help. This condition can lead to blockage of the airway. This is life-threatening. With prompt treatment, a full recovery is expected.
This list may not include all complications.
Call your health care provider if you or your child develops a high fever with severe throat pain.
Seek immediate medical help right away if you have:
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of pharyngitis or upper respiratory infections can prevent retropharyngeal abscess.

Is anyone here from Central PA? I'm about an hour south-ish of Williamsport and an hour north-ish of Harrisburg.
I'm in the Harrisburg/Hershey area... New to this world of digital scrapbooking. Trying to learn photoshop 7.0
I'm about 45 minutes Northwest of Phila. Very close to Valley Forge, PA.
Doesn't appear that digi-scrapping is too popular in this area. Maybe someday it will catch on. I'm new to it but I love all the options that Photoshop can do for you versus paper scrapping.
Hi all,
I just figured I would say hello, I live in western Pa about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh. I'm trying to get friends and family started digiscrapping out this way but it doesn't seem to be catching on. I guess I'm just a computer nerd who thinks this is the best idea.
Hi all, :wavey:
I'm in Harrisburg. I just joined today - trying to learn photoshop & digi scrapping at the same time. I seem to be the only one I know who is interested in this.
Hey PA DigiScrappers! I'm knew to this also and using PSE 6.0. I'm so addicted to this, it's all I want to do. I can't learn the program fast enough. I'm taking their online class and I'm also signed up for a PSE class at HACC in December. It would be great to get together with some local scrappers. Anyone interested in the Starbucks at the Outlet mall? They have free internet I believe. I am a teacher but only teach in the mornings at Milton Hershey School. Let me know if anyone if interested.:vb_chirolp_iei:
I'm a PSP user in the Lancaster area. Wish I had a digiscrapping buddy nearby.
Not sure if any of you ladies are still here, since the last post in the thread was quite some time ago... but I'm a PA gal, but more west-central... too far east to be 'Pittsburgh Area' too far west to be 'Central' lol!
I'm just north of Johnstown... about 70 miles East of PGH.
well I know where you are, but I'm in Central. Very close to Harriburg, but hi Local digiscrapper!

Cholangitis is an infection of the common bile duct, the tube that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines. Bile is a liquid made by the liver that helps digest food.
Cholangitis is most often caused by a bacterial infection. This can occur when the duct is blocked by something, such as a gallstone or tumor. The infection causing this condition may also spread to the liver.
Risk factors include a previous history of gallstones , sclerosing cholangitis, HIV, narrowing of the common bile duct, and, rarely, travel to countries where you might catch a worm or parasite infection.
The following symptoms may occur:
You may have the following tests to look for blockages:
You may also have the following blood tests:
Quick diagnosis and treatment are very important.
Antibiotics to cure infection is the first treatment done in most cases. ERCP or other surgical procedure is done when the patient is stable.
Patients who are very ill or are quickly getting worse may need surgery right away.
The outcome is very often good with treatment, but poor without it.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of cholangitis.
Treatment of gallstones, tumors, and infestations of parasites may reduce the risk for some people. A metal or plastic stent that is placed in the bile system may be needed to prevent the infection from returning.

Synovial fluid analysis is a group of tests that examine joint (synovial) fluid. The tests help diagnose and treat joint-related problems.
Joint fluid analysis; Joint fluid aspiration
A sample of synovial fluid is needed for this test. Synovial fluid is normally a thick, straw-colored liquid found in small amounts in joints, bursae (fluid-filled sacs in the joints), and tendon sheaths.
After the joint area is cleaned, the health care provider inserts a sterile needle through the skin and into the joint space. Fluid is then drawn through the needle into a sterile syringe.
The fluid sample is sent to the laboratory. The laboratory technician:
Normally, no special preparation is needed. Tell your health care provider if you are taking a blood thinner, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix). These medicines can affect test results or your ability to take the test.
Sometimes, the health care provider will first inject numbing medicine into the skin with a small needle, which will sting. A larger needle is then used to draw out the synovial fluid.
This test may also cause some pain if the tip of the needle touches bone. The procedure usually lasts less than 1 to 2 minutes.
The test can help diagnose the cause of pain, redness, or swelling in joints.
Sometimes, removing the fluid can also help relieve joint pain.
This test may be used when your doctor suspects:
Abnormal joint fluid may look cloudy or abnormally thick.
Blood in the joint fluid may be a sign of injury inside the joint or a body-wide bleeding problem. An excess amount of normal synovial fluid can also be a sign of osteoarthritis or cartilage injury.
Ice or cold packs may be applied to the joint for 24 to 36 hours after the test to reduce the swelling and joint pain . Depending on the exact problem, you can probably resume your normal activities after the procedure. Talk to your health care provider to determine what activity is most appropriate for you.
