Cellar/Tasting Notes PARKER RATING: 98 POINTS! - "It has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. ..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment ... it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine ... and last for 25-30 more."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Mouton Rothschild has a striking label from Anish Kapoor. The wine is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot that begs comparison as a young wine with what the 1982 tasted like in 1985 or, I suspect, what the 1959 may have tasted like in 1962. Representing 50% of their..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a wine for aging. The tannins are dense, very dry with a feel of extraction. It takes a while for the black currant fruit to show through, with acidity and freshness dominant. The wine is still settling, and time will bring the fruit into line with the tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "The 2000 has turned out to be a colossal example of Chateau Margaux that is tasting even better from bottle than it was from cask...90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The 2000 possesses a saturated ruby/purple color to the rim as well as an extraordinarily promising nose of creme de cassis..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Poured from the special anniversary bottle, the 2010 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a truly outstanding wine that leaves a lasting memory for those who are lucky enough to enjoy it. What stands out is the absolutely seamless-seamless-seamless (yes, it's worth repeating three times) integration of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Only 49% of the production made it into the 2010 Mouton Rothschild, which has a strikingly beautiful label by Jeffrey Koons. This is a truly great wine, with a very high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (94%) and the other 6% Merlot. At 13.9% natural alcohol, Mouton?s director, Philippe Dhalluin,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A severe, austere wine that doesn't show its richness easily. The tannins are tight and firm and they dominate. Underneath is ripe fruit, the balance with tannins giving a foursquare, solid character. The wine is complex, spice playing with the fruit, some medicinal flavors and a definite..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Case Basse is everything the very best Brunello should be: elegant, complex, rustic, powerful and seriously age-worthy. This Brunello deserves a spot in the cellars of serious collectors.

|Pearl Boe, 91
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Pearl Boe, 91, died on Thursday, October 7, 2004 at Oakland Park Nursing Home in Thief River Falls.
Funeral services were held on Monday, October 11 at Alma Lutheran Church in rural Argyle, with Rev. Dennis Gray and Rev. Raynard Huglen officiating. Casket bearers included all of Pearl's grandchildren. Interment was held at Alma Cemetery in rural Argyle.
Pearl Amelia Jarshaw was born on March 1, 1913 on the home farm in New Solum Township, Marshall County, the oldest of nine children, to Alfred and Tillie (Langlee) Jarshaw. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and attended Busy Bee Country School. Pearl stayed at home and worked on the family farm.
When Pearl was 21, she was interested in going out working to make some money. One day a "Foster" peddler came to their house who knew of some people by the name of Boe, northwest of Viking, who needed a hired girl. There were two sons and an elderly mother that Pearl took care of.
Pearl was united in marriage to Nels Boe on April 10, 1935 in Crookston. The couple made their home on the family farm in Marsh Grove Township in Marshall County. Nels and Pearl had five children together. She farmed together with her husband and also worked at Arctic Enterprises. Pearl was a very hard worker her entire life. Pearl moved to Valley Home in 1995, and in 2001, she moved to Oakland Park Nursing Home.
Pearl was in her 60s when she got her driver's license. She was a wonderful cook and made a great baked chicken. She loved flowers, gardening and picking berries. Pearl enjoyed helping other people do whatever they asked of her. She especially loved spending time with her family and friends.
She was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Newfolden and active in Ladies Aid and was a member of Alma Lutheran Church and an Honorary Member of WMF. She was also a member of Homemakers Club and a Birthday Club.
Pearl is survived by three children: Marlys (Oscar) Bergos of Moorhead, Merlin (Kathy) Boe of Viking and Shirley (Marwood) Hunstad of Bemidji; 15 grandchildren; 37 great-grandchildren; one daughter-in-law, Beverly Boe of Thief River Falls; sisters and brothers: Sam Jarshaw of Drayton, N.D., Irvin (Marge) Jarshaw of Thief River Falls, Irene Holmstrom of Thief River Falls, Maynard (Kathy) Jarshaw of Olympia, Wash., Florence Lykken of Thief River Falls and Fern Bruggeman of Thief River Falls; sister-in-law, Genevieve Jarshaw of Thief River Falls; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Nels in 1962; parents; daughter and son-in-law, Arlene and Dale Carew; son Gene Boe; brothers Elmer and James; and two grandchildren. A00003B2004OT13

|Richard G. Lyttle, 79
|Written by TRF Times
Meeker, Colo. - Former Thief River Falls resident Richard G. Lyttle, 79, died suddenly on Sunday, October 10, 2004 at Pioneer's Hospital in Meeker, Colo.
Funeral services were held on Thursday, October 14 at St. James' Episcopal Church, with Randall Cochran officiating. Interment was held at the Highland Cemetery in Meeker, Colo. Masonic rites were conducted by Rio Blanco Lodge 80, AF&AM.
Richard Gibson Lyttle, Jr. was born December 22, 1924 in Laramie, Wyo. the son of Richard Gibson and Jessie Margaret (Gillis) Lyttle. Rich attended school in Meeker, having graduated with Rio Blanco County High School in 1942. Rich attended college at the University of Colorado, receiving a B.A. degree in Journalism in 1949. He went on to further his education with a master of arts degree in social sciences from Bemidji State University in Bemidji.
On June 18, 1950 Rich was united in marriage to Mary Beth "Becky" Latson at the Methodist Church in Glenwood Springs, Colo. From 1933 until leaving Meeker in 1962, Rich helped operate the family newspaper, The Meeker Herald. In 1962, he left Meeker to teach school in Nome, Alaska. He later left Nome to begin teaching at Northland Community College in Thief River Falls. Rich retired from teaching in 1988 and returned to Meeker where he became active in numerous community affairs.
Rich served on the Meeker Town Council, on the vestry of St. James' Church, on the board of the Rio Blanco County Historical Society and was an active member of the Meeker Lion's Club. He was a 40-year member of the Masonic Lodge, having been initiated and raised while living in Nome. At the time of his death he held dual lodge memberships in Thief River Falls and in Rio Blanco Lodge 80, AF&AM.
He loved and was considered by many to be the preeminent expert of Meeker history, so much of the history having been documented by his father and grandfather. Rich wrote a column titled "Roping the Past" in the Rio Blanco Herald Times and also wrote a column on the history of St. James' Church for the church newsletter. He taught a course in Meeker history at Colorado Northwestern Community College and also assisted in literacy education in Meeker. He was an active member of St. James' Church where he routinely assisted in teaching the Wednesday children's chapel. For many years he was a leader in the Explorer Scout program, using his vast knowledge and love of the outdoors to work with young scouts.
Rich was a voracious and unapologetic C.U. Buffalo fan, he remained true to Minnesota and was a die hard Minnesota Vikings and Twins fan. He will long be remembered for the many years he portrayed Nathan Meeker in the Meeker Massacre Pageant, aptly donning a t-shirt that quipped "I Survived The Meeker Massacre." Rich had a great sense of humor and a steadfast sense of honor, trust and dignity.
Survivors include Becky, his loving wife of 54 years; one son Bill Lyttle and his wife Annette of Colorado Springs, Colo.; two sisters, Betty Oldland and Margo Coons, both of Meeker, Colo.; two nieces, Janice Oldland and Kathy Thornsby and two nephews; Alan Oldland and Robert Oldland.
Rich's parents and one nephew, Don Coons preceded him in death.

Louisianians with Disabilities in Houma Area Can Connect with Employers at Job Fair Thursday
- Louisianians with disabilities who are seeking jobs in the Houma area will have a chance to meet with potential employers on Thursday. The final stop of the 2009 Louisiana Job Fairs is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Evergreen Cajun Center at 4695 West Main Street.
More than 40 employers are registered for the job fair, which is free to both employers and job seekers. Additionally, community partners who provide resources and services to individuals with disabilities will also have booths. Information sessions and seminars will include Social Security counseling from the Louisiana Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (La-WIPA) Coalition.
Job seekers are urged to prepare or update their resume and bring multiple copies; be prepared to fill out applications if required; dress professionally; arrive early; be prepared to discuss career goals and interview on the spot; and be enthusiastic.
The job fair in Houma is one of nine jobs fairs held across the state during October to coincide with Disability Employment Awareness Month in Louisiana. Other stops included Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lake Charles, Alexandria, Monroe, Lafayette, New Orleans and the Northshore.
The annual job fairs aim to help move job ready citizens with disabilities toward greater self-sufficiency by connecting them with the business community. Since the job fair initiative began six years ago, more than 7,200 job seekers have connected with more than 840 businesses across the state.
Louisiana Rehabilitation Services (LRS), an agency under DSS, is sponsoring the 2009 Louisiana Job Fairs along with the Department of Health & Hospitals' Medicaid Purchase Plan, Work Pays, the Louisiana Workforce Commission, the Governor's Office of Disability Affairs and other sponsors.
LRS' Vocational Rehabilitation program offers individuals with disabilities services designed to provide them with skills, resources, attitudes and expectations needed to find employment and develop a lifelong career. LRS supports the Randolph-Sheppard Business Enterprise Program, which provides citizens who are blind with training and self-supports to own and operate a business.
More on the job fair, including registration information for employers and resources for job seekers, can be found at the DSS Web site,

Degenerative disc disease (DDD), a significant cause of back pain in adults, is a disorder of the spine that can be quite debilitating. The spine is formed from 26 bones or vertebrae that are separated by intervertebral discs. These discs, which are cushion-like pads, act as shock absorbers during activity. In DDD, the discs become damaged, and may lead to back and leg pain. Spinal fusion surgery is sometimes used to treat DDD.
In spinal fusion surgery, two or more vertebrae are "welded" together to eliminate the pain caused by the damaged disc in the spine. To do this, a doctor inserts pieces of the patient's own bone (usually harvested from the hip) between the vertebrae to prompt the body to grow new bone. This process requires two steps. The implanting the bone in the spine, and removing the small pieces of bone from the patient's hip. Some studies have shown that the bone-harvesting surgery can be more painful than the fusion surgery itself. The InFUSE Bone Graft eliminates the need for this bone-harvesting surgery.
The device consists of three components split between two parts: a metallic tapered spinal fusion cage (LT-CAGE lumbar tapered fusion device) and a bone graft substitute (InFUSE Bone Graft). The InFUSE Bone Graft consists of a protein (rhBMP-2) and a carrier for the protein. These two components are placed inside the fusion cage.
rhBMP-2 is a genetically engineered version of a naturally occurring protein that is capable of initiating bone growth or bone regeneration in specific, targeted areas in the spine. The LT-CAGE stabilizes the spine, while the rhBMP-2 stimulates bone growth and the spine fuses.
A multicenter, randomized, two-year study was conducted with 279 people with DDD. All the participants received the LT-CAGE device. Approximately half of the people received autograft bone, and the rest received InFUSE Bone Graft. The study demonstrated that the use of the LT-CAGE device with InFUSE Bone Graft was effective for promoting spinal fusion. A thorough discussion with your doctor to discuss the risks and benefits is necessary before undertaking this procedure.

Insights from the UK and beyond
UK unions fear future with the "enemy"
After more than a decade of railing against a Labour government that they feel has betrayed their shared socialist roots, British trade unions are now starting to fear what a future with a Conservative government will be like.
"They're going to come after us like rabid dogs," said Brian Caton, general secretary of the Prison Officers' Association said — dubbing the Conservatives "the enemy".
Activists may be disenchanted by a Labour government that they believe has pursued a pro-business agenda and failed to roll back anti-union legislation, but that is suddenly starting to look a whole lot better than a Conservative administration.
"God help us," said John Thompson, President of UCATT, the construction workers' union. "We'll have never seen anything like it if this mob do get in."
And a fear of more restrictive regulation and big public spending cuts is not encouraging the movement to offer an olive branch to the centre-right Conservatives, who are well ahead of Labour in opinion polls with an election due by mid-2010.
At a fringe meeting at the Trades Union Congress conference, GMB union chief Paul Kenny called Conservative leader David Cameron, pictured, a "clown".
Even the most powerful of the union bosses are not afraid to admit that a Conservative government looks likely.
"You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to see that Labour is in a great deal of trouble," said Derek Simpson, joint general secretary of Britain's biggest union Unite.
But no matter how bleak the future looks for the unions, they are not yet resigned to a Conservative future and are rolling up their sleeves for the fight.
"We've always fought for everything we've got," said Kenny. "A poor Labour government is a hell of a lot better than a poor Tory (Conservative) government".

Book, How To Hook and Launch: Traction Mods for Street and Strip Part # 88-1805-2
Author: Dick Miller Softbound 8.5 x 11 128 Pages 230 Color Photos ISBN: 9781934709351 While building big horsepower has becomre easier, putting that power to the pavement is still quite a challenge. Getting great "bite" involves a lot more than sticky tires and a smoky burnout. The suspension system is being put to work in a way it was never designed to operate. A better understanding of exactly what is happening to the suspension when the car launches fron a standing start will assist you in maximizing your car's effectivness on the street or at the track. In How to Hook and Launch: Traction Mods for the Street and Strip, author Dick Miller explains the physics behind what gets a car moving from a standing start, and how to best harness the various powers at work. Getting the rear tires to really bite and gain maximum traction is divided into several small steps, and Miller walks you through each phase of the launch. Today's enthusiasts face a wdie range of potential traction improvments, from softer tires and basic bolt-ons to complete or partial chassis replacements. Most opt for something in between, where some well-engineered componets are chosen to replace the factory equipment and offer a greater capability and range of adjustment. It is this range of upgrades where Miller spends most of his time, explaining what the parts and pieces do, and how to use them to their highest potential. Learn More

Evening Readingby Garnett Lee, Feb 15, 2011 5:00pm PST
I received word today that the publisher of a fairly high profile video game due out shortly plans to handle pre-release reviews with an event. These "review events" give me great cause for concern, but not for the reason you might immediately think. Anyone at the level in the business to make the invite list for one of these things is well above the threshold of remotely being able to be bought off.
No, ironically, the real loser out of these deals is the game. On a AAA game--particularly of the sort prone to get the review event treatment--hundreds of people have worked months and months, often stretching into years, to create the game. In fact, on many of these games the last few months all those people will have been playing the game over and over, tweaking this and adjusting that to carefully craft the final experience.
And then it gets handed to a reviewer and the clock started on the brief few hours they are afforded at the event to play the game. Who does this sound like a good idea to? Wouldn't you want the person critiquing the game to have ample time to enjoy that content at their pace? On top of that, I can't count how many times I've gone back to a game while working on a review to replay a section or try something different or just double-check my impression from the first time through. And don't invoke the piracy defense because any outlet for which that would be a concern opens a much bigger issue to be addressed.
Tl;dr -- game review events are bad for all involved.
Now here are the top stories from today's video game news on the Shack:

So last year about this time, I had my aunt show me how to knit. I tried a few rows and almost thought I might try a project. Well, after seeing all of Amanda's, Shannon's, Angela's, and Ashley's (to name a few) knitting projects, I could no longer resist. Plus you know, Pinterest never helps. *wink*
Honey Cowl, I even loved doing the bind off (which I was really scared of). Yes, there are mistakes, no I don't care. I love it so much. I wore it for over 48 hours straight, yep, even to bed.
And I already have plans for my next project! ♥ ps my earrings are from Elizabeth Space on Etsy, Necklaces are from Alina & T and my all time favorite jewelry shop Edor

Budget Accommodation Bed & Breakfasts Africa South Africa
Cape Town, South Africa
Worst place we ever stayed. Payed 1200 ZAR for 3 single rooms, while we booked two twins. Rooms we very small, very dirty, my sheets were washed out and full with dirty spots. On New Year's Day cleaners were extremely noicy at 8 am and even put on very loud music. Bad location. We were told to get the car to the other side of the road, closer to the front door, because it was too dangerous to walk 20m with our bags.
We booked 4 nights, but left after one terrible night, we were lucky to find a fantastic guesthouse a bit further away in Blouberg, but with beautiful comfortable rooms, great service and even a good breakfast and always filled honesty bar. This place with way much more luxery costed us 1100 ZAR (inc breakfast!!) for 3 people. We also stayed at another beautiful guesthouse in Tamboerskloof on our first days which costed only 750 ZAR.
Conclusion, if you're travelling together, rather book a guesthouse instead of Baobab. It's cheaper, way more comfortable and especially CLEAN!
Sabie, South Africa
We were the only guest, so had a lot of space. The welcome was very friendly. A lot of facility's to cook, you can use the computer for internet. It was very clean. Just ashame warm water didn't work.

A group of eight biology professors from throughout the site asked to weigh in on the state proposition that would label genetically modified food overwhelmingly urged a 'no' vote for the measure.
Proposition 37, which is on the ballot on Tuesday, would make California the first state in the union to require that certain plant or animal products sold be labeled if its genetic material has been modified. The law would also make it illegal for food companies to label genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, as "natural."
To get a scientific perspective on the issue, Patch reached out with an email survey to more than 25 professors across the state with a background in biology or genetics to ask them how they would suggest Californians vote. Of the eight professors who responded, seven told Patch they would urge a 'no' vote.
Neelima Sinha, a professor of plant biology at the University of California, Davis wrote that she was suggesting a 'no' vote because scientific research has not shown GMOs are unsafe to consume.
"GM food is no more safe or unsafe than anything else we eat," Sinha wrote in an email. "In fact most outbreaks of food poisoning have been from non-GM but poorly stored or treated food. Much of what we consume is already GM – all cheeses, many drugs."
Alan McHughen, a plant biotechnologist and professor at the University of California, Riverside who has written extensively on GMO food issues and been involved in government panels on how to regulate them, suggested that the measure will impose more costs on low-income citizens.
"There's no question Prop 37 will cost a lot of money, and only serve the purpose of satisfying the curiosity of a few," McHughen wrote. "Why should poor people pay more for food when they don't care about the label? It's all about the majority paying more for food to satisfy the curiosity of the 1%"
However, De Anza College biologist Judy Cuff-Alvarado, the lone respondent to urge a 'yes' vote, said she does not buy the argument that the measure will raise the cost of food.
"Consumers need to know what they are eating and have informed choice," Cuff-Alvarado wrote. "I do not believe the argument that this is going to drive prices up dramatically. Just look at the European model. They're doing fine."
According to the state Legislative Analyst's Office analysis, since GMOs entered the U.S. market in 1996, a vast majority of corn and soybean grown in the United States is genetically modified. According to some estimates, 40 percent to 70 percent of food found in grocery stores is genetically engineered.
A September USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll found that more than 60 percent of Californians support Prop. 37.
Prop. 37: Should Genetically Modified Foods Be Denoted in Labels?
Editor's note: This story has been updated with a link to the publishing record of one of the biologists quoted above.

How To Buy A Bean To Cup Coffee Machine
As long as you are not hypertensive, one cup of coffee every day can be actually healthy. More than that, coffee enthusiasts know that their daily cup of perfection is not so much about health and that it may not even be so much about the energizing effects of the caffeine, but about the great taste and flavor gathered in a cup of coffee. Having the perfect cup of coffee every single morning with almost no effort at all can be actually possible and if you are a coffee lover, you will know how much you will want this.
You may have heard about a lot of bean to cup coffee machines for sale out there, but you may not be very certain of what they are, why you would love and, more importantly how to make this purchase. Basically, a bean to cup coffee machine is a combination between a coffee grinder and a pump espresso machine. What you will have to do for your perfect cup of coffee will be nothing else than put the coffee beans into the machines, select your preferences and then simply wait for a couple of minutes for the machine to do its job.
This kind of bean to cup coffee machines for sale can be excellent for someone who loved the flavor only freshly grounded coffee can bring into their cup. Furthermore, with such a machine you will not have to worry about dealing with a grinder and with an espresso machine separately, but only with one machine (which means less time for your coffee preparation and less space occupied on your kitchen counter as well).
If you decide that you want to purchase this kind of machine, then you will have to think of the settings you will want it to come with. There are high-end bean to cup coffee machines out there that can grind the coffee according to various levels of coarseness and if you know you like to experiment or if you know that you like your coffee with various levels of strength when it comes to its flavor, then you will want a machine that will allow you to "play" with this. However, if you know that you are only into one type of flavor, then a simpler and less expensive bean to cup coffee machine will be perfect for you. Also, take into consideration whether or not you will want other features with your coffee machine as well (such as milk frothing, for example).
