web site and Hello part 1
I see my first message got lost. I have not visited the site for many months altough I use to write fairly often. Some may remember that I often signed with my "Mountainman" name of "Bloody Ear". We have a new email address now as well as our web page so I re-registered as a new member..We live in the South West Corner of Colorado near the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park, at 7000 ft elevation. A short growing season makes growing gourds a challange. Our work features primarily, petroglyphs and pictographs from the early people in our area as well as old Pueblo pottery designs. We are members of the American Gourd Society and grow most of our own gourds. We enjoy exchanging ideas and information and hope you can be of help to us and us to you. Again we invite you to visit our web site at www.gourdsofthesouthwest.com

Rob & Mary,
I was able to find your website, but it appears that you have listed your e-mail instead of your website address. The search engine did show an Arts of the Southwest which brought up your site.
Really admired your use of the petroglyph images on your artwork. I have wondered why some gourd artist does not use some of the black on white and red on black geometric images found on the old Anaszi pottery. Also the images found on the Mimbres pottery from 1,,000 years ago in SW New Mexico. Course I realize that the Mimbres images went in the inside of bowls, but should still look great worked onto the outside of gourds.
Thanks for the chance to visit your website.
Jan, try putting your pictures into Photobucket and I think you will be able to post them into Garden Web.
Here is a link that might be useful: Photobucket

An email campaign that generated a 20 percent click-through rate and saw fewer than 0.5 of recipients unsubscribe. Fantasy? No. Awesome? Totally.
Picture this. You're a shoe company, and not just any shoe company, but Vans, the shoe company made popular by the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." (Remember Sean Penn as Spicoli? The next time you're channel-surfing late at night and the movie is on, be sure to check out his shoes.) You set up a Web site that showcases all your goods, and you know that email marketing is a great way to get the word out to your current and future customers about what's going on at Vans.
So you design offers designed to appeal to your young, hip audience. Take the Compel shoe line. The Compel Tones is a girls' skate shoe that changes color when exposed to sunlight. It's white when indoors, but outside it turns blue, pink, or yellow, depending on the particular shoe.
What sort of email message would show off this product to best advantage? The folks at Vans decided rich media was the way to go. They put together a message that shows the shoe changing from white to pale pink to deeper pink. The text tells recipients that the shoes sell out quickly in stores, but because they are loyal vans.com customers, they are receiving a special email offer. The message also links to shopping portions of the Web site and gives administrative details.
But there was a slight problem.
Vans is a shoe company, not an email marketing company. And customers come from all over, computerwise. Many are AOL users. Some are using older Macs with slow modem connections. Others are on PCs with broadband connections. Some use Eudora, others use Outlook, and still others use text email clients that can't read HTML, let alone rich media. You can imagine how difficult it was for the company to design a message that would look good to its entire audience.
"We tried, and it was a pain," says Jody Giles, the vice president and chief information officer of Vans Inc. "AOL was a nightmare. Generating content was a pain."
So Vans decided to get some help. A few months ago, they began working with the email marketing firm @Once. And one of the key pieces @Once took care of was quality assurance.
Now, I'm not a big fan of marketing-speak, and "quality assurance" is a term that makes me cringe. But quality assurance is critical, and @Once took it seriously.
The folks there ran the proposed message through about 40 different checkpoints. Staffers looked at the draft on PCs and Macs. They looked at how the message would appear to AOL 6.0 users and those with earlier versions of the software. They saw how the message would appear in Web-based email programs like Juno, Hotmail, and Excite. They looked at how the message would hold up in Pegasus, Eudora, Outlook, and other email clients.
"There are so many different clients that do so many different things," says Betsy White, the director of e-messaging technology at @Once. "Some strip out javascript or tables within tables. Members of our creative team learn as they go what works best, and they tweak along the way."
Once the message was deemed ready, it was sent out to about 10,300 girls and women who had already purchased from Vans.com. (Thanks to previous mailings, the @Once technology had determined how each recipient's client was set up, so it knew what type of messages the recipient could accept.) The results, Jody says, were "fantastic." The offer generated a 20 percent click-through rate overall, and fewer than 0.5 percent of the recipients unsubscribed.
Granted, I can't show you quantitatively how this quality-assurance process made a difference, because we don't have data that shows what the response would have been had the message not gone through this process.
But intuitively it makes sense that the better the presentation, the better the response is likely to be. And the less likely it is that recipients will look at the offer and walk away.

The Problem With Saying, "We Don't Want Any More Candidates Like Todd Akin"
Karl Rove and his buddies at American Crossroads are gearing up to defeat conservative candidates in the GOP primaries, but of course, they don't want to admit the truth. So Karl Rove went on Sean Hannity's show last night to spin what they're doing.
Karl Rove appeared on Sean Hannity's show tonight to defend himself against conservative criticisms of his new PAC intended to help moderate Republicans against tea party challengers in primary races. Radio host Mark Levin went so far as to accuse Rove of stabbing conservatives in the back. Rove made it clear he still wants conservative candidates to back, he just wants ones who can actually win races.
Hannity first explained the main goal of Conservative Victory Project: keeping more Todd Akins from becoming nominees for safe seats and ultimately losing general elections. Rove quickly clarified that he is not going to be in the business of defending incumbents, but merely making sure the Republican party nominates candidates who can actually win races. He also defended his previous support of Tea Party candidates in 2010 and 2012.
Hannity brought up the criticism that sometimes the Republican party ends up with establishment Republicans who no one is happy with. Rove insisted he just wants "the most conservative candidate who can win," not just the incumbent candidate. He insisted that his group would have, for example, backed Marco Rubio in 2010. Hannity explained his main concern is that he doesn't want anyone within the Republican party doing anything to divide it.
Rove stuck by his message, saying that the Republican party needs to do better than Todd Akin if it wants to retake the Senate.
First of all, it is true that savvy political observers can pick up on differences in electability amongst candidates. However, saying "opinions vary" doesn't quite cover it; even smart political professionals often have widely divergent opinions about which candidates are more electable and even after all is said and done, nothing is really settled.
Just to give you one example, Mitt Romney was primarily sold to conservatives in 2012 as the "electable" candidate. Yet personally, I thought there was absolutely nothing in his record that indicated he was particularly electable and I also believed Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry — at a minimum — were all more electable than Mitt Romney. So, Mitt Romney lost. Does that mean I was right? I think so, but I doubt if you'd find many of Mitt's hardcore supporters who'd agree.
Point being: Todd Akin ain't a Todd Akin until after Todd Akin blows the election and everyone agrees he's a Todd Akin.
Yes, it was fair to say that Todd Akin was the weakest candidate running on the GOP side. On the other hand, had he not made that stupid gaffe, chances are he would have beaten Claire McCaskill handily. Additionally, had Akin not made that stupid comment, Richard Mourdock's dumb comment probably wouldn't have gotten much traction. So, if Mourdock either would have kept his mouth shut or Akin wouldn't have mouthed off, he would have likely won, too. Then there's Sharron Angle. She was probably the weakest candidate in the GOP field (Arguably, Danny Tarkanian may have been weaker), but that doesn't necessarily mean that any of the other candidates would have won either. Keep in mind that Angle actually looked really strong in the run-up to the election. Here's what I wrote about the race on the day before the election.
State: Nevada
Seat Currently Held By: Harry Reid (D)
Competitors: Sharron Angle (R) Vs. Harry Reid (D)
Latest poll: Sharron Angle 49% vs. Harry Reid 45% – PPP
Ranking: Leaning Republican (75% chance of Republican pick-up)
Analysis: Angle has been ahead in every poll during the final three weeks. Moreover, she has been flirting with the 50% mark while Reid has been sitting in the mid-forties. Given that the voters in Nevada already know Reid very well, you have to think the undecided voters will break towards Angle. So, at the moment, looks like she's in really good shape.
People now talk about Sharron Angle like she was a dead dog loser from the beginning, but the fact of the matter is that even on the day before the election, her polling looked really good.
As a matter of fact, the only controversial candidate in the last few cycles who probably never had a chance from Day 1 was Christine O'Donnell. Mike Castle would have turned that race into a gimmie for the GOP while choosing Christine O'Donnell turned the race into a gimmie for the Dems. Beyond that race and the Todd Akin disaster, there's a not a single race where we can definitively say the candidate made all the difference — and in Akin's case, he even had the opportunity to drop out, but was too arrogant to take it. So, if he wasn't such a jackass, we could have saved that seat, too. With that in mind, how much of a problem is this really?
Furthermore, it's worth keeping in mind that the GOP hierarchy hasn't always had such good judgment about which candidates were electable. Rove can claim that he would have supported Rubio over Crist, but that's pretty easy to say after the fact. When Crist and Rubio were actually going toe to toe, the NRSC originally backed Charlie Crist. The GOP higher ups have also preferred Trey Greyson to Rand Paul, David Dewhurst to Ted Cruz and Arlen Specter to Pat Toomey. Their argument is always electability and guess what?
They get it wrong a lot.
Yet, if Paul, Cruz, Rubio and Toomey had lost their primaries, what would the GOP establishment be saying today? Probably something like, "Whew, we dodged a bullet because those guys were all 'Todd Akins.'"

Critics' Comments
Choir and Organ I loved it. ... I have to add at this point that the organ accompaniment is beyond the superlative throughout. ... Both the astringent fortes and whispered piano sections are treated with great style. It has all the facets of the music and that which lies behind it, subtlety, balance and ensemble are as near perfect as is possible. ... I recommend this especially and the whole disc for that matter. Bravo Memphis! - Peter Beaven
Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians From the first notes of Gerre Hancock's (manuscript) Responsory, one can hear that exemplary choral sound is with us. The musical forces combine to produce a disc that is simply a joy to hear. - Victor Hill
The American Organist This is a prizewinner: ten boys and 19 adults (5-4-4-5) sing with great assurance and discipline. - Vernon Gotwals - Dec 1999
The American Record Guide The performances are very fine, well in tune and sensitively sung. ... make no mistake, this is very distinguished singing. There are simply too many wonderful pieces here to pick out one or two for special mention. ... It is all wonderful and testifies to the excellent work John Ayer is doing in Memphis. Lovers of church music, particularly in the Anglican tradition, will find much here to feed the soul. - Althouse
The American Record Guide Pro Organo appears to be presenting a kind of overview of the state of the church choir in America. Of the three discs that I have heard, this one is the most impressive. I do not usually associate Memphis, Tennessee, with a distinguished choral tradition, but here it is. This is well performed and recorded in a magnificent acoustic redolent of a large cathedral – actually two of them: St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral and St Anne's Roman Catholic Church. The ensembles sing in an American style – less ethereal, less disembodied than the English, particularly the boys' treble voices. A broader, warmer sound is most welcome. - Parsons

So, remember a few months back when I told you about the Toyota Camry campaign called #CamryBold? They sent us on a fabulous #CamryBold weekend, and we took an old classic and made it new again. The purpose of the weekend was to highlight the bold changes Camry made to its 2015 model. They were gracious enough to let us drive a Camry for the weekend so we could tell you about it, and we fell in love. I'd been an SUV girl for so long, hauling around all the stuff you have to haul around when you have kids. But now that my girls are a little older, we feel like a huge SUV is a little too much car for us. We never could let go of the Camry idea, and a few weeks ago we went down to see our friends at Hoover Toyota. They fixed us right up, and we are now zipping around town in a new 2015 Camry.
The Camry was about 1/3 the cost of my big SUV. My gas bill has gone from about $400/month to about $100/month. My insurance is so much cheaper. And parking is no longer an issue for me!!! I never could get the hang of getting a huge SUV into a parking space on the first try. There is plenty of trunk room for us to throw book bags and soccer bags and grocery bags in the back. We are loving it and so far, we haven't missed our big SUV one bit.
Here's the really cool reason I wanted to tell you about our Camry love: The folks at Southeast Toyota have given me a couple of $1000 vouchers to give away to two of my readers who are planning to purchase or lease a 2015 Camry before 4/30/2015. (Depending on how much your car costs, that's enough to pay around 2 car payments or 4 months of a lease!!!) Offer applies to the lease or purchase of any new Toyota vehicle in FL, GA, AL, SC or NC. Offer valid for you or any member of your household. Limit one rebate per household. Offer expires 4/30/15. This offer is non-transferable. Offer can be combined with other offers.
To be entered for the random selection of winners, just leave a message on this post. We will choose two winners on Friday, March 27, 2015. Please, please, please only enter this drawing if you are planning to purchase or lease a new Camry before then. Otherwise, you'd be taking $1000 from somebody who can really use it, and that just wouldn't be very nice, now would it? Best of luck to you all!

Made these for my niece's birthday party and they turned out great. I rolled the hotdogs in flour before I battered them. I also used a tall glass to pour the batter in and then dunk the hotdogs in before frying. Thanks for the great recipe!
10 stars! Something I wish was on that big roomy part of the food pyramid. Made for Alphabet Soup.
Very easy and turned out great! I also used only one egg (plus a little extra milk)and added some onion powder.
Soooo good! I have been making these for some time now. I use only 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 egg, and add 1/4 tsp. of dry mustard into the flour/cornmeal mix. Also, I use chopsticks for the wooden skewers and put the batter into a large glass and dip the dogs into that! Now I don't have to go to the State Fair! LOL Thanks for posting.
Loved these..I scaled it back for 2 dogs but still used a whole egg so my mixture was a little runny..if I had more hot dogs and did a half mix I'm sure it would have been fine.. I even cooked up the leftover batter into fritters and it was good!!!
I made these as appetizers for our 4th of July block party, and they went over with our neighbors real well! We had several types of mustard to dip them in, to please everyone!
Made this for my Mom and my 18month old son. My son and my mother are both allergic to dairy but with the added allergy of soy for my son as well. So I substituted the milk for his coconut milk. Still delicious! And my son loved them. Finally another food I can add to his short list of foods he can eat. My mother gave them two thumbs up too...she's a corn dog fan. Thank you!
Excellent recipe. I am in Brazil and craving food from home and I noticed they have hot dogs here and a lot of corn bread but no corn dogs, so me and a brazilian friend made some corn dogs and they were great! He loved them too and now he will share with his friends, perhaps start a trend! Many thanks for sharing!
I had a single wooden chopstick and used it to dip the dogs in the batter since I didn't have wooden skewers. I slid them off the chopstick after dipping into the batter, right into the oil, which kept the batter on and allowed for them all to fit in the pan (I only made half a batch and didn't need a huge pan). Kids loved them. I had only 3 hot dogs, so with the remaining batter, I made "cornbread funnel cake". My daughter adores funnel cake and was so excited. We had sliced granny smith apples on the side. We called it "carnival night" because it was like having dinner at the carnival. I'm thinking she'll be asking for this on a regular basis, maybe next time some caramel dipping sauce for the apples! Thanks for sharing!
I made these for me and my boyfriend one late night and they turned out perfect. The recipe was very easy to follow, thank you for that. I'm also thankful to those that decided to post their helpful tips in their comments like, rolling the hot dog in flour before dipping them in batter and using a tall glass to make battering easier. Now I won't ever have to buy frozen store bought corn dogs again! haha. Thanks for the great recipe.

Looking for oakleaf hydrangea "Alice"
Hi! I have been researching the best oakleaf hydrangea for my garden, and due to the space available and the desire for something very tall, I think "Alice" is the gal for me. The trouble is, I can't seem to find many sources to get it. Monrovia has it in their catalog, but doesn't seem to actually have it for sale online. Do you know of anywhere in particular I should look? Many thanks!
Oh wow, magneato. I have the opposite problem. My local nurseries (small to medium sized stores) like to carry Alice so I have difficulty finding other oakleafs locally. Check your local plant nurseries and see if they carry it. Inventories this time of the year may be small but Hydrangeasplus.com and Hydrangea.com carry it. Or so their websites said a few moments ago.
Thank you, Luis! None of the physical shops have much of anything right now, but you have given me hope that I will find it locally! I saw hydrangea.com but didn't know if the site was reputable. I had not heard of them before this weekend. I didn't know about hydrangeas plus.
Do you (or others) know how many years it takes them to get to full size?
This post was edited by magneato on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 18:11
The estimated size at maturity in most labels assumes about 10 years. If you were to have a long growing season (like in the southern states), you could shave a few years off that mark. If you want to get it there faster, you could get a larger specimen to begin with. For that, contact the mail order companies by phone as this info is not in their websites normally. Some local landscaping companies will offer this kind of service too (ie, try to find a specimen that is larger/taller/wider/smaller/etc than what you normally get in stores).
Is there a reason why you were asking about this?
PS - I forgot to say that Monrovia is a wholesaler that does not directly sell to the public but you can go to a local nursery that buys from Monrovia and special order Monrovia plants that the local nursery does not stock. There may be order limits (either quantity or dollar value) on those transactions though... imposed by the local nursery, not necessarily by a wholesaler. I once was told I had to order at least $100 in order to special order.....
Wilkerson Mill is where I got mine a couple of years ago.

Posted 04 September 2013 - 03:59 PM
49 and cursed
Posted 01 October 2013 - 01:46 AM
I'm almost 26. Had acne since around age 21 which fluctuates between the high and low ends of what I'd say would be moderate.
I had no skin issues whatsoever when I was a teenager and I really miss not having to try to keep my skin "under control."
In a nutshell, I've had mild/moderate adult on-set acne which began towards the end of 2009. Regarding my beliefs and the previous skincare/lifestyle changes I've tried, I have been conflicted, misinformed, resistant, allergic, and had my hopes up too high only to be let down. Many of my previous posts on here will reflect that. Considering I have never found an explanation as to why I developed acne in my twenties, whereas I've had flawless skin my entire life up until then, I claim to know nothing. I'm still fighting the fight and can only offer my humble advice.
Began Accutane (Myorisan) on Sept. 30th, 2014 for a 6 month course (plus any leftover pills I may have) and am/will be consistently on 40mg throughout.
Month 1: Initial breakout, lips became a little dry.
Month 2: Skin started clearing, dry lips got worse, flaking around nose and eyebrows.
Month 3: Skin almost completely clear, lips became less dry, eyes and eyelids began to get dry, still flaking around nose and eyebrows.
Month 4: TBA

35 F here! I've had moderate to severe acne (face, chest, ears, neck, back, lower back, upper arms... ) since 13, but have managed well with the full arsenal!

The MARK Project, a regional economic and community development organization, fully supports The Belleayre Resort Project and the expansion of Belleayre Mountain Ski Center, and views these projects as an obvious economic benefit to the region. That being said, it is now time to work together with the developers, ORDA, and New York State to interweave the investments on the mountain with our communities to ensure the outcome is mutually beneficial.

The downsized Belleayre Resort Project, as currently presented, offers the investment and economic growth opportunities crucial to the sustainability of our community.
By Todd Pascarella,
Mayor of Fleischmanns
The "Project." It's practically a four-letter word when uttered in the Catskills these days. Fifteen years after first being proposed, the Belleayre Resort saga has become the embodiment of everything that is wrong and right with modern society.
Wrong because it is another wedge issue among what seems to be an ever growing list of political wedge issues polarizing us.
By Marjorie Miller, Supervisor
Town of Middletown
By Bill Birns
Personally, I wasn't much of a fan of the Belleayre Resort when it was first proposed – how many years ago? The project itself seemed too big (two golf courses!) and some of the property was right down on the Esopus flat, and folks around here seemed to be doing all right without some big new change, right here in our beloved Catskills. Besides, the old Highmount Ski Center is right out Gayla-and-my living room window, and I like our view of the mountain, turning a gorgeous subtle red this time of year. Do I want to be looking at a hotel, a spa, for gosh sakes?

3 Days in Munich
One Day in Munich
Guide to Munich Outdoors
We visited as a break from typically tourist activities. What a great zoo! There are a wide range of animals which are clearly well taken care of. The enclosures are large and interesting for the animals.
Easily accessed on the underground - getting there is a breeze!
Really fun and such a brilliant way to end an awesome trip to Munich. It wasn't originally planned but our teachers thought 'why not?' so we did.
quite big, clean and with a big range of animals. my favorite parts are the area with monkeys, polar bears and the"animal playground"where de kids can play and touch goats and other domestic animals.
At first glance I wasn't too impressed as the first 3 cages were a bust...no animals to see, but then things started to pick up.....I love the concept of this zoo. The lion and tiger cages have moats around them with a small concrete wall, this allows visitors to see the animals without fences or glass walls obstructing the view....
nice park style zoo, animals seem to have good conditions. worth visiting with children or if you like being chased by mini goats in the petting zoo place - they love their snacks and learned long ago that it comes from the machine in the middle of the petting zoo place.
We bought the family annual pass since we live closeby and want to get the most out of it. My young kids love going to the zoo. They have a cute petting zoo with goats. You can feed them, pet them, take pictures. It definitely is a cute place to start out the day. The animals are kept in their...
The territory is quite large, and it was interesting even in spite of the cold weather (early March). Giraffes and elephants are love.
I love this Zoo, the animals always look well and happy.
They have good living areas.
The inside displays are well done.
A little more English would help but then it is in Germany
One of the better Zoos, I have visited and I have been to a lot all over the world.
Easy to get to by public transport....
We've been to the Tierpark many times but the "meet your favourite animal" experience was something out of this world. You have to call up the administration well in advance to book a private visit. We decided to visit the animals of the polar world and were not disappointed. We met with our personal zoo keeper Frank and followed him...
Ok, let me start by saying that it is not the biggest and most modern zoo you will ever visit. BUT it has everything you need/want in a zoo! Lots of exotic animals, the "standard" zoo animals (Lions, Polar bears, Giraffes, etc...) and a really nice Aquarium! What made me give this zoo a 5* rating, however, are the extremely...

Speculation, but...I would guess the stabber will go to a young offenders institute and never step foot in that school again. The principal will be dragged over the coals by the board of education, receive a hefty pay cut, and be moved along come April. I will also speculate that this involved a notorious student and it was only a matter of time before this boy hurt somebody, proper. The question is not only how to effectively punish, but also how to better prevent.

Jeff has been a member of the sales staff in our Redwood City store for the past four years. His first introduction to wine was as a waiter in an upscale Italian restaurant in Hanover, NH more years ago than he likes to admit. He slowly made his way west to wine country, working his way across the US as a graduate student in geography, a public sector researcher in regional economic development, and briefly, in the wake of the Anderson-Enron scandal, a records management coordinator for one of the remaining Big Five accounting firms. Finally, surrendering to the inevitable, he accepted a position in the wine business here at K&L. His goals for the next four years include drinking more wines from Italy and France and trying to limit the number of open bottles on the dinner table on any given night to fewer than six.

2014 Lake Chalice "The Nest" Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand
Review Date: 10-2-2014
Our third vintage of this NZ classic and still one of our best values in a Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. The slightly cooler 2014 vintage produced a more aromatic wine with tart gooseberry notes, a more pronounced mineral character, and a peppery finish.
Price: $10.99
2013 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Charnay
Review Date: 9-4-2014
Best in class. This 100% Chardonnay from the Macon never fails to impress. Lovely weight and ripeness. Classic mineral and citrus notes. Superb value vintage after vintage.
Price: $13.99
Ariston Aspasie "Carte Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 9-2-2014
I think the Ariston Aspasie Carte Blanche Brut was one of the first grower-producer Champagnes I ever purchased from K&L. It remains to this day our best value in Champagne, and a superb introduction to the grower producer (RM) Champagnes. If your usual Champagne experience is Veuve Clicquot or Moet & Chandon, you owe it to yourself to try the Carte Blanche from Paul-Vincent Ariston. With roughly equal parts of the three classic Champagne grapes, and a retail price comfortably south of $30, this is a no-brainer. Open a bottle for no reason in the middle of the week. You'll feel like royalty.
Price: $27.99
2013 Margerum Wine Company "K&L Blend" Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 6-30-2014
You tend to see two main styles of Sauvignon Blanc in California. They are either lighter in style, very dry and crisp with tart citrus notes, or fuller-bodied, with more texture and weight (often due to barrel aging), showing more tropical fruit. The 2013 Margerum "K&L Cuvee" Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc somehow seems to combine the best of both. There is real richness here with exotic melon and mango notes. At the same the wine has a taut, linear style with a marked acidity and an admirable tension unusual in a California Sauvignon Blanc. Really superb, and the perfect wine for those who like having their cake and eating it too.
Price: $18.99

2010 Lambuena Crianza Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 5-30-2014
The extension of our Direct Import program to Spain is one of the most exciting things to happen to our Spanish wine selection in years. For the first time we are able to offer small production wines of extraordinary quality at unbelievable prices. Some of the first wines to arrive from the Ribera del Duero region come from Bodegas Lambuena. The best of these in my opinion is the 2010 Lambuena Crianza, a supremely balanced wine that combines a bright, lively character with ample ripeness of fruit. It is a rich, dark, oak-inflected wine that is sure to please a wide range of palates. The 2010 vintage is of such quality that while the wine can be enjoyed now, it will more than reward another 3 to 5 years in the cellar. Currently one of the best $20 reds we have to offer, irrespective of varietal or region of origin.
Price: Hidden
2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" Tras-os-Montes
Review Date: 5-1-2014
We field more and more inquiries every day about the availability of red wines from Portugal. These can be tough to find. If you do find one, it is more likely to be international in style and with no true distinctiveness. From the rugged, isolated hill country in the extreme northeast of Portugal, the 2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" is the real deal. Foot-trodden and tank-aged using traditional methods, this blend of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Touriga Franca is medium bodied with bright red fruits and a lively minerality that reflects the largely granitic character of the region's (admittedly poor) soils. Superb regional character and typicity for a mere $15.99.
Price: $15.99
2012 Hanzell "Sebella" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 5-1-2014
One of the most impressive California Chardonnays I have enjoyed in a very long time. The perfect wine for those seeking an alternative to the popular "oaky/buttery" style which characterizes so much domestic Chardonnay. Aging in neutral oak adds texture but not flavor, perfectly complementing the citrus and mineral-driven character of the fruit. What a joy to drink!
Price: $34.99
1986 Haut-Bailly, Graves
Review Date: 4-30-2014
The wines of the '86 vintage were forbiddingly tannic in their youth and very slow to evolve. Closing in on 30 years past the vintage they are really coming into their own. The 1986 Haut Bailly, Pessac-Leognan is certainly a strong candidate for one of the most charming wines of the vintage. The wine has all the hallmarks of a nicely aged claret - fully garnet color, bottle notes of cedar and saddle leather, and a fine coating of tannins on the finish that is the legacy of this long-lived vintage. In addition, however, it also offers a remarkable sweetness of fruit - red currant and cherry. The wine is possessed of a lovely ripeness and a suppleness of texture that became even more evident with additional aeration.
Price: $129.99
2009 Les Allées de Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 11-7-2013
Easily the best $20 Bordeaux in the store. Why? Well, the 2009 vintage was the best since 2005 for wines at the $10 to $20 price point. And Chateau Cantemerle is one of only five Haut Medoc properties that are designated "cru classe", in fact it is a fifth growth. Finally, the quality of the 2009 vintage was such that even second wines like the "Les Allees" really excel. Loads of dark fruit here, blackberry and cassis. Superb Cabernet character. I was shocked by how well this is drinking already. If you really want to get your money's worth, though, tuck this away in the cellar for a few years. You won't regret it.
Price: $19.99
2009 Caronne Ste-Gemme, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 7-6-2013
Chateau Caronne Ste Gemme is located in the commune of Saint Laurent, due west of Saint Julien-Beychevelle, and is a near neighbor of Chateau Lagrange and Gruaud Larose. Francois Nony, whose family has owned the property for over a century, currently manages 40 hectares of vineyards planted on gravel soils. The wine spends 12 months in oak with about 25% of the barrels new. The extraordinary 2009 vintage produced a big, deeply colored wine with a rich, silky texture and very fine tannins. The wine is still youthful with tart, fresh blackberry and ripe, red cherry notes. Already more expressive than when tasted one year ago, it can be enjoyed now or over the next 1 to 5 years. A superb effort for this property and my top pick for best Bordeaux under $20 for the vintage.
Price: $22.99
2009 Saarloos & Sons "His" Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 4-25-2013
When I walked into the Saarloos & Sons tasting room in Los Olivos a couple of months ago, I wasn't sure quite what to expect. Which, in hindsight, is just as well, since Keith and Brad Saarloos are pretty good at defying expectations, challenging preconceptions, and gleefully poking with a stick anything that smacks of convention and pretense. We tasted a lot of great wines, most of which I dont remember well because Keith insisted I stop taking notes. At some point he also insisted I stop spitting, so tasting became drinking. So we drank and we talked. About wine, about grapes, about music, art, and life. It is worth noting at this point that Saarloos & Sons are farmers first and foremost. They grow grapes of exceptional quality, most of which they sell to other winemakers. A small amount they hold back every year to make their own wine. They sell exclusively direct to consumer, not through retail wine shops. But at the end of that evening they paid us the ultimate compliment. They offered us a couple of wines to make available to our K&L customers, the 2009 Saarloos & Sons "His" Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2010 Saarloos & Sons "Hers" Santa Ynez Valley Grenache Blanc. I absolutely recommend a visit to their tasting room in Los Olivos to taste their full selection, but until your next trip we are honored to share these two wines with you. I enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon at dinner the other night with my nephew. We grilled a 2 lb Fred Steak from Schaubs in Palo Alto, serving it with roasted baby Yukon potatoes and fresh local asparagus. The Cab was a perfect companion to the spicy, smoky meaty deliciousness that is Fred steak. A hint of violets and new wood on the nose. On the palate the wine has a rich, silky texture with notes of blackberry jam and cassis. Imagine the blackberry jam your grandmother used to make, heading out before dawn to her secret spot to pick fresh wild blackberries, then spending the rest of the day canning blackberry preserves. There is a sweetness of fruit, a ripeness perfectly offset by a liveliness and a freshness that keeps the wine in perfect balance. The finish is framed by fine tannins that lie lightly on the tongue, caressing the palate like a finely woven cotton blanket on a cool summer night. If there is a perfect California Cabernet Sauvignon, this is it. Expertly crafted, and a pure joy to drink.
Price: $39.99
2009 Arnauton, Fronsac
Review Date: 2-25-2013
Fronsac lies alongside Pomerol and Saint Emilion on the Right Bank, producing Merlot-based wines of good quality at good prices. A long, warmer than average autumn meant that much of the Merlot crop got quite ripe in 2009, resulting in some cases in full-bodied wines with a floral, almost exotic character. The 2009 Arnauton is one of these, richly textured with sweet, plummy fruit.
Price: $18.99
Bruno Michel Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 11-30-2012
I recently enjoyed my first Dungeness crab of the season and this was the champagne I chose to drink with it. 100% Chardonnay from Bruno Michel's oldest vines. Crisp, clean and very dry with a very light toast. Bright citrus and tart green apple notes. Focused, precise, with tremendous concentration and length, this is serious wine.
Price: $44.99
1999 Fugue de Nenin, Pomerol
Review Date: 9-26-2012
The 1999 vintage has always been charming, medium to full-bodied with lovely sweet, upfront fruit. This second wine from Chateau Nenin in Pomerol is very much in step with the vintage as a whole. Elegant and richly textured, it offers sweet, ripe cherry notes combined with soft tannins. Drinking beautifully now, it can be enjoyed for many years to come.
Price: Hidden
Franck Bonville "Belles Voyes" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 8-17-2012
When most people talk about "value for money" they are thinking of a great $10 red. At $67.99 this is our best "value" in Champagne, easily the equal of wines selling for many hundreds of dollars. This wine was featured in our last staff Champagne tasting and elicited a collective moment of silence in sheer appreciation. If you think you can't appreciate a great Champagne, try tasting this alongside the Franck Bonville "Brut Selection" Blanc de Blancs Champagne at $32.99 - excellent in its own right - and you will see what I mean.
Price: $69.99

The current meta - Your thoughts
So how does everyone feel about the current Lane Meta we have, hailing from the EU?
That is to say, Bruiser/Beef Carry top, AP Mid, AD Carry/Support Bot, and them good ol' fashioned junglers?
Did you like the change? find it hard to manage? Or do you still yearn for the double stun bot or Roaming Meta days?
i like the roaming meta personally. i love roaming with poppy but i used to stack 4 philo stones...i can't do that anymore and benefit from it.
edit: the only problem i have with the current meta is not a lot of people actually use it at lower elo and now with the reset even in silver rating area's. people seem confused by it like they dont know what to do or how to play certain roles.
i think tournement wise pros are scared to break the meta.
i think that some pro's or a group of people should try to get high with some new tricks but then will be stomped on 1v1 class and their new "meta" sux
I think personally the meta has gotten stale, but I don't see it changing anytime soon.
Plus at my elo if you even dare try to deviate from the meta then its "gg" in teamchat
idk, deviating from the meta worked fine for CLG. I mean, they lost the finals, but that really wasn't because they went back to roaming.
the lane meta from EU is not bad, if the bot support doesnt actually screw over the ad carry by not letting them last hit, but apart from that, it is fairly solid when compared to the previous NA meta.
I personally enjoy the current setup, but I would really like to see more variety as well. I bet there are many viable setups, but unfortunately it's hard to get everyone on the same page outside of 5 man premade.
The beefy top laner allows you to skip a tank which let's you add more deeps into your team and if it wasn't for this I don't think bruisers would exist.
It's definitely stale and a boring meta. I don't even play support, but wow... why would anyone want to try now? What are you supposed to do? Stay in brush healing/shielding and not last hitting. Sounds like a great way to play lane every game :(
Just makes me sad to see no reason to deviate. Need some team out there to start shaking it up for everyone since it seems that meta trickles down.
I miss the "amumu is op" AoE meta.

text: The whole problem with all of this talk about Toontown is that you are now approaching the fireworks zone. Disneyland would not be able to do big fireworks shows. Toontown is mostly buildings and cement because of the falling fire coming down on it every night. If you want to expand Fantasyland it would have to be a pretty empty place with just buildings because you really can't push the foliage any farther back. Also being able to close a whole land makes more sense than closing off a portion of land every night for fireworks.

text: Home > Medical > Archive 30 January 2013 Soldier who lost all limbs gets two arm transplants A retired US Army sergeant who underwent a double arm transplant after losing both arms and both legs in Iraq was discharged from The Johns Hopkins Hospital. 0 A retired US Army sergeant who underwent a double arm transplant after losing both arms and both legs in Iraq was discharged from The Johns Hopkins Hospital on Tuesday, saying he was anxious to get back to an active life. Sgt. Brendan Marrocco, 26, of Staten Island, New York, had the successful bilateral arm transplant six weeks ago at the renowned Baltimore hospital. "I feel like I'm getting a second chance to start over," Marrocco said at a news conference announcing his discharge. "I'm just looking forward to everything I would have wanted to do over the last four years." A roadside bomb attack in Iraq in 2009 cost him all four limbs. "I hated having no arms," Marrocco said. "I was alright with having no legs." First procedure conducted at Johns Hopkins Double-arm transplant surgery is rare, and doctors said this was the first such successful procedure to be conducted at Johns Hopkins. Also, officials have said Marrocco is the first US soldier in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to survive losing all four limbs. Dr WP Andrew Lee, who headed the transplant team, said although the surgery was successful, it will be a few years before Marrocco's nerves regenerate and he regains significant use of his arms. "The progress will be slow, but the outcome will be rewarding," Dr Lee said. Dr Jamie Shores, an assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery and a member of the surgical team, said Marrocco had exceeded doctors' hopes by finding creative ways to use his new limbs despite the medical team's cautious expectations for his mobility at this stage. "We're the ones holding him back at this point," Dr Shores said. Breakthrough for Marrocco Marrocco wheeled himself into the news conference, during which he pushed his hair back several times with his left arm. He said his right arm and both hands have little or no feeling or movement. "We'll get there," Marrocco said. Visibly in high spirits, the war veteran laughed and joked and said a positive attitude and stubborn nature helped sustain him through his ordeal. "If it really meant something to me, I would go through hell to do it," he said. Marrocco's family said that besides his pain, he has been upbeat. "He really hasn't had any low points," said Michael Marrocco, his brother. Doctors said Marrocco will spend up to six hours a day in physical therapy. The rare surgery took 13 hours and involved 16 doctors who volunteered from plastic surgery, orthopedics and other disciplines, the hospital said. It was largely funded by the US Department of Defense, with the remainder of the cost contributed by the hospital, according to Dr Lee.

Gas Heater for above ground pool
Hi-I am looking to have a natural gas heater installed for my 15x30 foot above ground pool. The problem is that I have gotten widely conflicting opinions on the amount of BTU's that are recommended, anywhere from 100,000 to 350,000. Also, any brand recommendations would be very helpful. THANK YOU
Depends on how fast you want to heat the water. 100K to 400k will work. Check the heater charts for a difinitive answer based on your gallonage, flow rate, air temp. Info is available on most heater websites; Pentair, Sta-Rite, Hayward, Jandy, etc.
Be prepared to spend a couple grand+ to get it done.
Consider solar mats for heating as well if you haven't already. We are in the SE area of Wisconsin. Have a 27 foot - 54 inch above ground and use 4 2 x 20 mats. Last year we averaged 84 - 86 without the use of the solar cover. We are pretty windy here and should use the cover but hate pulling it off and putting it on.

Bugzilla – Bug 4579
Should we say anything about resolution of systemProperties value
Last modified: 2013-02-04 22:14:43 UTC
Though in bug 4350, we solved a related problem, we left unstated when exactly
a 'systemProperties' resolution happens in JSL substitution.
It would seem that there's room now for an implementation to offer a backdoor method for doing the equivalent of supplying restart parameters... that's simply because you could set a system property to one value initially and then to a later value before restart.
Did the move to disallow restart parameters intend to prevent this type of usage as well? If so, I think this should be stated...
Actually I'd go further and say the most obvious interpreation is that the systemProperties value should in fact be read anew with each restart. Would there be any objections say on having a TCK test depending on this behavior?
Looking at the same properties from another end of the spectrum... one could imagine implementation A doing a resolution at job start time, i.e. "upfront"... while implementation B defers resolution until that exact step is ready to execute. Does this ambiguity too need to be closed down?
I'm not as worried about this latter case... implementation B in this example is getting into complicated territory regarding the entirety of property substitution and inheritance... and getting into corner cases probably too complex to spend too much time worrying about. I was just mentioning this for completeness.
What additional we say about resolving property substitution from system properties must align with resolution of http://java.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4562
If Bug 4562 reinstates restart parameters, then I don't think anything special need be said concerning substitution from system properties.
If Bug 4562 reaffirms having NO restart parameters, then I think the spec needs to say that substitutions are not reprocessed on restart. I.e. the original post-substitution Job XML is what gets used on restart.
We are adding back restart parameters: http://java.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4562
So this bug is no longer vald.
