ClassicsOnline Home » SCARLATTI, A.: Euridice dall'Inferno / La Concettione della Beata Vergine (Ars Lyrica Houston) > Review List
For its Naxos début Ars Lyrica presents première recordings of two of Alessandro Scarlatti's vocal works: Euridice dall'Inferno and La concettione della Beata Vergine. The Houston-based early music ensemble has gained praise for its "zestful music-making" (Houston Chronicle). Its period instrument performances reveal the brilliance and depth of Scarlatti's expressive and highly theatrical music, which is enjoying renewed interest as the composer becomes increasingly recognised as the peer of Baroque masters such as Handel and Vivaldi. Supplementing these are two equally accomplished instrumental pieces.
There's a pocket of period-performance excellence in Houston, Tex., but we don't often get to hear it on disc. So all the better to get two world-premiere recordings, elegantly rendered, of the 13-minute cantata Euridice dall'Inferno, from 1699, and the 31-minute oratorio La concettione della Beata Vergine, first performed in 1703 by Italian Baroque master Alessandro Scarlatti (1660–1725). The disc is rounded out with a gorgeous cello sonata as well as an inventive Toccata for harpsichord. There is much to enjoy here.
After languishing in the shadow of his brilliant son, Domenico, the works of Alessandro Scarlatti are taking their place among the masterpieces of the Baroque era. He was to have a chequered life brought about by political changes, his early success, where he became the major Italian opera composer of his time, ended when a papal ban was placed on such staged performances. Using much the same style of music, he moved into the field of oratorio and cantatas where it is said he composed over six hundred scores. They mainly spoke of love and the trials and tribulations that so often surround it. Euridice dall'Inferno dates from 1699, by which time he had reached musical maturity and came before the opera ban. Scored for soprano and instrumental group, it is in the form of recitatives and arias, the music moving between drama and smooth lyricism. The oratorio, La concettione della Beata Vergine, followed immediately after the opera ban in 1703, and can be seen as seeking papal favour, the oratorio following on recent pronouncements from the Pope. For soprano, alto (countertenor), tenor and bass, and with a small instrumental group, it states at length the belief in Mary's immaculate conception. His instrumental works were few in number, the present disc completed by the Second Cello Sonata and a keyboard Toccata. Melissa Givens gets around the acrobatics in both vocal works with a nice silvery tone, and has pleasing colleagues in the oratorio. Unanimity in the final Presto of the Cello Sonata is less than ideal, but elsewhere the period instruments of Ars Lyrica Houston are good, and play with a style we now accept as authentic Baroque. Ears quickly adjust to the very open acoustic.

Yes yes I know all grain brewing is best.
I don't have the room is the problem.
So...anyways I have seen so far the best deal is 55lb at a time.
Found 1 place that if 55lbs was bought it would be $2.67lb.
So anyone know of a much better place?
Also for a container to keep it in.
Links please.
I buy my bulk DME at midwestsupplies.com.
Comes in a box and double bagged.
I got mine from Northern Brewer. Approx $2.50 lb including shipping for a 55# bag.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt.
I can buy #50 DME for $130.00 and there is no tax which is cheaper then buying online since I would have to pay for shipping.
What do you store you bulk DME in?
I store it what it gets delivered in. I've never had any clumping problems either.
I put all my boxes on a dolly so I can move them from room to room. They are not stored in my brewing kitchen...too much humidity while cooking.
Upcoming Projects: Return to brewing!

Two men charged with terror offences
Tuesday 22 April 2008
Two men were arrested and charged with terror offences today, Scotland Yard said.
Mohammed Abushamma, 20, from Islington, north London, and Qasim Abukar, 20, from Tufnell Park, north London, were charged under the Terrorism Act.
Sources said the men were arrested after getting off an inbound flight to Heathrow this morning.
It is believed the charges relate to alleged planned terror attacks overseas.
The charges state that between 17 March and 18 April the men "engaged in conduct in preparation for giving effect to their intention of committing acts of terrorism contrary to section 5(1)(a) of the Terrorism Act 2006."
The men will appear before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The United Nations has appealed for $2 billion in order to feed and care for a record 20 million people across Africa's Sahel belt. War and political instability in the nations of Mali, Nigeria, Sudan and Central African Republic has created food shortages across the Sahel. The area already suffers regular droughts and cyclical floods, as well as locust infestations and epidemics.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Donors are being urged to tackle a deteriorating humanitarian situation. Never stable to begin with, the Sahel region has seen its food insecurity double in a year.
Officials say that Over 1.6 million people have abandoned their homes. Half of those have sought refuge in impoverished countries throughout the savannah region that are already struggling to look after their own populations, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA reports.
Find that gift for that special someone -- by going here --
"This year is make or break for the Sahel. Donors have to show more ambition than in previous years to fund the Sahel. We have to work fast because if we don't, the cycle of drought that is reality for the Sahel will catch up with us. It's a race against time," Robert Piper, the U.N. regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel says.
Food insecurity, which is defined as the measure of hunger within a population due to conflict or climate spread across the Sahel last year. Funding for this new appeal may fall short because of the slow global economic recovery and competing demands on donor resources.
Donors met just 63 percent of the $1.7 billion Sahel U.N. appeal last year.
The European Union's humanitarian arm, ECHO spent 300 million Euros above its 1 billion euro budget in 2013, in an attempt to respond to several humanitarian crises, according to the French newspaper Le Monde. The newspaper added that the arm was struggling to fund its aid partners on the ground.
"We don't have the luxury of planning emergencies. We had a temporary cash flow problem, but this has now been resolved," David Sharrock, ECHO spokesman says.
A new three-year strategy is now in effect to ensure donor resources are spent on humanitarian action that has a longer lasting impact.
"It's a shift in recognizing that our responsibility as humanitarians goes beyond saving lives today. People can legitimately ask us what are you doing about next year's food shortages, and that wasn't the case before," Piper says.
"It's the year we see if we can translate theory into practice and start bringing aid workers together to work with national governments and reverse these trends that have been deteriorating year after year," Piper says.
Three of the nine Sahel countries that stretch west to east across Africa represented 40 percent of the food insecurity in the region and each presented different challenges.
Nigeria has high rates of malnutrition. An Islamist insurgency and a crackdown by the military there have exacerbated hunger and make it harder to address.
In Senegal and Cameroon, there are similar food shortages as a result of poor rainfall and floods. The countries are at peace but the government rates confronting food insecurity as a low priority, Piper said.

Today's Weather Outlook
UPDATED 8:45 AM EDT, July 19, 2013
UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Fred Allen
The last day of the workweek will be no different than any other day this week, with steamy weather only slowly relinquishing its domination across the eastern two-thirds of the nation. The other major weather news will be few thunderstorms peppering the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and New England.
WeatherBug Meteorologist Addison Green has the latest in this exclusive WeatherBug National Outlook video.
A sharp cold front piercing the steam bath residing across the U.S. Northern-Tier will be the trigger for potentially damaging thunderstorms from Illinois and Wisconsin all of the way to northern and western Maine to close out the workweek. Though the main severe weather problem will be destructive wind gusts, large hail and even a brief tornado will be possible within the most organized thunderstorms. A few cities at risk include Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt.
Unfortunately, the storms will offer little relief from the extended heat wave baking the U.S. Northern-Tier, with highs soaring well into the 80s and 90s again today.
Even the Mid-Atlantic, Lower Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and Sunshine State will see thunderstorms bubble up in the intense heat and humidity this afternoon and evening. A few of them could pack gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall, but most will luckily stay below severe limits.
Still, the mercury will skyrocket into the 80s and 90s, with a few places along the Interstate 95 corridor peaking near the century mark this afternoon. Even worse, the oppressive humidity will make it feel-like it is in the lower to middle 100s in places such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and in New York City.
The only other weather trouble spot will be found in the Desert Southwest and central and southern Rocky Front Range, where umbrellas will be needed to dodge the raindrops this afternoon and evening.
Meanwhile, the West Coast, northern Rocky Front Range, and most of the Plains will escape with plenty of late-July sunshine and comfortably warm temperatures to end the workweek.
Triple-digit heat will bake residents across the Desert Southwest, interior California, and the central Great Basin, while toasty 80s to near 90 degrees reach the Interstate 5 corridor along the Northwest. Seasonable 80s and 90s will blanket the Plains, while New Mexico, eastern Arizona, and the Colorado Rockies will climb into the 60s, 70s, and very low 80s today.

Removing Smell/Taste from Wood Cutting Board
I use my walnut board to cut fruits and veggies. It has a slight onion smell but more than that I cut fresh pineapples today (& am eating them right now) and I taste a slight onion taste.
What's a easy way to freshen it up from time to time?
I wipe it down with a water/detergent cloth after use.
I make a paste of baking soda and water. Rub it all over with my fingers into the wood. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse. I do this regularly with my walnut board to remove the onion and garlic odor. Finally last summer with all the cooking I do and all the yummy summer fruit I was processing, I just began using a small paperstone board that fits in my top prep drawer for fruit. Using the baking soda trick every night for onions and garlic was becoming old, and it necessitated using the Boos cream more often as the baking soda does bleach the color a bit. For a large fruit project like pineapple or melons, I grab a different board.

This will happen if you cut onions or garlic on a wooden board. I keep a dishwasher safe plastic board for stinky stuff.
You can redeem your board, you may have to try a couple of things before you have success, try them in order:
1)Sprinkle board with kosher salt. Cut a lemon in half, use the cut side of the lemon to scrub the salt into the board. Scrub well, then rinse and towel dry then let air dry thoroughly. Sniff and move on to step two if necessary.
2) Make a thick paste of baking soda and water. Scrub it in with a green scrubby. Same rinse and dry and sniff test.
3) Sand off 1/16".
Some people would recommend a bleach solution before resorting to sanding, but I would rather just sand, then have bleach impregnate the pores of the wood that I will then cut
Whichever one works, once you get rid of the smell, give the board a nice coating of oil to rejuvenate it after the harsh treatment.
Good luck.
Thanks! I will try these ideas : ) I do have some fruit/veggie cutting mats. Maybe I'll place those on the cutting board in the future. Maybe I should use the mat for onions and garlic and use the board for all other fruits/veggies?
P.S.-- breezy- Did you see my reveal? I don't think I heard from you : ) I was wondering if you saw my credit to you on the spice drawer? lol All my visitors love those little jars!
My DH said he was thinking of mixing some walnut into our pullouts but decided against it because walnut is porous and soft (for a hardwood) so it doesn't make a good cutting board wood.
Yes, donaleen, you're right. (even though they sell these walnut boards) I spoke to a professional countertop maker when planning the kitchen and told him I was considering cutting on my walnut countertop and although I forget the specifics, he said walnut is not the best wood for cutting-- that maple is much better/harder.
I don't have anything to add to the cutting board discussion - localeater's answer was comprehensive. But did you know you can remove garlic and onion smell from your hands by rubbing something made of stainless steel?
Actually, I wonder if it stainless steel would work for the cutting board too?
Parsley is good for neutralizing onion and garlic smells - just rub a sprig or two of parsley over the board hard enough that some of the greenish parsley juice comes out. Then rinse the board.
We do have two small cutting boards and usually only cut onions and garlic on those, but sometimes when preparing something using a lot of onion I want to use the bigger board and parsley works for that.
I use a dilute bleach solution to remove smells. Rinse well and dry/ let dry. And I don't worry about residual chlorine penetrating the wood. Chlorine is a gas in it's natural state so it very quickly dissipates.
An alternative is to use a cheapo paper plate atop your cutting board when cutting smelly stuff like onions.
I too use a plastic cutting board that can go into dishwasher for the stinky stuff. I love love the method kitchen hand soap. I love it so much that I am installing a handsoap dispenser with NeverMT so that I can have this at both sinks. It removes the smell from my hands instantly. Just last week I minced a cupful of garlic for bruschetta for a party and I would usually have a lingering garlic smell on my hands but the method kitchen hand soap really just removes it. My sense of smell is super sensitive and I have been known to wrap my head in one of the shower turbans when I am cooking pasta sauce or curry before people come over and I don't have time to wash hair so that my hair doesn't smell :)

I think spiderman because he could probably out fight these guys and use his agility to pull off the win....... but Noh-varr with his cool weapon could be a contender. In a two on two team fight I'd go with spiderman and beetle but I'm not positive.

Technology shifts the burden to win

Note: The color of the metal lid may vary - it may be silver or match the color of the bowl.
Q: Can you use this with the Mya Bambino?A: Yes, the Ultimate Combo Bowl will work with your Mya Bambino, but you will need to use a thicker grommet, such as the Mod Bowl Grommet because the opening at the bottom of the bowl is wider than regular Mya Bowls.
Q: Can I use the top on my vortex bowl?A: Since this combo lid is not designed to be removed, it will not work on other bowls.
I bought this so I could save my floors, since it looked like it could cage off the coal from falling - I tried to use it for a week or so, but using a whole coconut coal was way too hot and burned the shisha when I locked on the top - A half coal worked a little, but it also gave a burned taste - Leaving the top ajar worked, but took away the functionality of the locking top, so it has since been unused - I wouldn't recommend this bowl -
If you're worried about people or pets knocking your coals off and on the floor or table this is the best - Got this because I was tired of my friends putting burn marks every where - Get used to how to manage the coals and this is the best for parties -
Was really easy to set up - With the extra grommet I got it fit all the way on my hypnosis calabaza - I added a heba diffuser - It now smokes like a dream - Clouds dissipate quick - It's amazing -
I read the reviews about how hot the bowl gets and figured, "Well, whatever - I bet I can use it - " No, I really don't like it - The cover really does get too hot and it's a pain to put on gloves every time I need to change a coal or the shisha, as it turns out - And you don't have to use the screen thing that comes with it, you could just use your own foil, but since I paid for it I tried it - and the holes are way too big and get way too much ash in it - I bought it, used it twice, and not ever since - The work that I put into a plain bowl and fashion my own foil screen is way more worth it -
The bowl isn't to hard to get to use, and I love how its wider rather then being deeper - It burns thoroughly a lot better then my clay bowl -
Best bowl ive ever used - Once you get used to the heat management, u will never use anything else - I have a 25$ hookah that I bought at the smoke shop, ultimate combo bowl, and phantom hose - Ive never had such amazing flavor, and clouds so thick I can barely see anything in my room - Get this bowl, worth every penny and more!!
I normally use a mya bowl and i figure why not try this one - it alot bigger then the mya and take alot more shisha - I have only use it twice but my sessions lasted alot longer than normal - I would suggest this for people who know what there doing not a beginner like me
love this!!!! the hooka fell on my arm not even a mark!!
This thing is like a dream - Works wonders and i dont have to worry about my friends knocking it down anymore - dont know why but for some kind of reasen they always manage do to it so bouth my table and floor is full of black burning marks - So if you have clumsy friends or want to bring it somewhere with lots of people - buy this one here its litteraly a ''life saver''
- - - except one out of five fell apart when I opened it - I was able to figure out how it goes together and it's been fine since - It gives a nice long quality smoking session - I bring it outside, not because it's that windy, but because it feels safer to carry in and out - It insulates the charcoal, making it last longer - I followed someone's advice to stack two charcoals, one slightly tilted off the other, and then I don't have to open it again while it's hot - It also gives the best, milkiest clouds of smoke compared to one charcoal - I fill the bowl almost to the top so it doesn't scorch too fast, press a little, and then give it a blow from the bottom to make sure the holes are unobstructed - Then place two live coals on it and shut the lid - Good to go!
good sized bowl sent in good packaging love the combo, really saved me moneys efficient coal use however burns my shisha a lot faster, guess that's a slightly good thing since you get better hits or something i doubt the bowl would fit any mod hookah a lot of people said it wouldn't in the reviews and their right - im just gonna add my old grommet with the one i got with it and see how that goes even though it doesn't fit perfectly it doesn't ruin the smoking experience - i think it is so movable because it's top heavy due to the wind protector - - overall i am so glad i got it, and didn't listen to everyone telling me not too!
Keep coals secured
This bowl is awesome - I mean you can't beat a bowl and a windscreen and as I call it my Matt proof bowl it keeps your clumsy friends from burning holes in your furniture and carpeting - Just do yourself a favor and buy one - Use a small pair of needle nose pliers or a multitool and tighten the hinge and lift the locking lever up a bit and you're good to go -
I love this little bowl - It makes the coals go longer, it heats the bowl efficiently and quickly, it allows for wonderful temperature control, and you can really make a good, long smoke session with it - When I used foil, I'd get that layer of wet, uncooked shisha at the bottom after my smoke started tasting ashy - With this bowl, I can pick off all the cooked stuff, and finish off the bottom of the bowl, or even top off by sprinkling a little more shisha into my bowl, which allows me to save shisha, and have a more delicious smoke more often -
I am not and have never bee a graceful person, so several years ago I realized I had to find some way to enjoy my hookah without burning any more carpets or wasting any more perfectly good coals - I looked into different wind covers and other possible solutions, but this seemed to be a bowl worth trying - Now, I have no idea how I lived without it - The heat maintenance is different, to be sure but it's so worth it, and not too difficult to master - Sometimes, you can just jiggle the closed bowl a bit and that's all you need to fix a harsh or weak pull - Once you learn how to handle the heat, you'll find it does the job just as well as any other bowl if not way better - I have a special place in my heart for the combo bowl since it's so easy to set up and tote around - I do a lot of camping, and a tough bowl like this is invaluable - especially when there's a pretty good breeze, of course -

GLAAD Speaks Out Against Tyler, the Creator

As reported earlier this week, Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara wrote a post on her band's website calling out Odd Future figurehead Tyler, the Creator for the violent misogyny and homophobia in his lyrics, as well as the media outlets who, in Quin's view, give Tyler a pass on that language. Now, AllHipHop points out that the gay and lesbian rights organization the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has joined Quin in speaking out against Tyler.

By Tom Breihan on May 16, 2011 at 11:15 a.m. EDT
Tyler, the Creator and his Odd Future crew are the most talked-about phenomenon in rap and indie circles lately. A lot of that talk has to do with their deliriously, surreally offensive lyrics; rape and murder are common tropes, as are anti-gay slurs. Sara Quin, half of Tegan and Sara, took to the Tegan and Sara website on Friday to post "A Call for Change" about Tyler and all the hype he's getting from the media. It's less about Tyler, really, and more about the enthusiastic response to Tyler.

Over the holiday weekend and in last night's State of the Union address, President Obama unveiled several ideas he believes will strengthen the country's workforce, education and infrastructure. He plans to pay for these proposals through corporate tax reform and higher income taxes on people in the top tax bracket. (more…)
tax reform
This Deal Won't Last: Give to Charity Now!
Philanthropic US taxpayers should greet the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 with holiday cheer. The law extends several expired tax provisions for 2014 only—including qualified charitable IRA distributions. But other giving strategies may make some taxpayers merrier come tax time. (more…)
To Reduce Your US Tax Bill, Keep Dividends Qualified
Paul Robertson and Tuppence Russo
The recently passed American Tax Relief Act (ATRA) raised the top tax rate for qualified dividends, but it scarcely affected the benefit this rate provides to investors. That's because ATRA also raised the top tax rate on ordinary income—the rate investors have to pay for nonqualified dividends—by nearly as much. (more…)
After ATRA, Tax Management Gains Importance
Daniel B. Eagan and Paul Robertson
The US tax reform just enacted has made effective tax management of portfolios far more valuable for some investors. The old rules of thumb never really worked, but their shortcomings will now cost investors more.
New US Tax Law May Reduce Portfolio Trading
Daniel B. Eagan, Paul Robertson and Tara Thompson-Popernik
By raising capital-gains tax rates for some investors, the American Tax Relief Act alters the ground rules for tax-aware trading. If your taxable income exceeds $400,000 (single filer) or $450,000 (joint filer), there may now be less trading in your portfolio because each trade must clear a higher hurdle. (more…)
Seniors: Act Fast If You Want to Transfer IRA Assets Directly to Charity
Daniel B. Eagan and Brian D. Wodar
Philanthropic seniors in the US have only until the end of January to decide whether to make a tax-neutral transfer of up to $100,000 in IRA assets to the charity of their choice. For many, this could significantly lower their tax bill. (more…)
Municipals Escape Taxation for Now
In the end, the American Taxpayer Relief Act did not eliminate the tax exemption for municipal bonds or modify it any way. In fact, the increase in the top marginal tax rate makes muni bonds more attractive versus taxable bonds. And the Medicare surtax on investment income, enacted in 2010 but effective in 2013, makes muni bonds more attractive still. (more…)
To Wait or Not to Wait? That Is the Charitable Gifting Question
Daniel B. Eagan and Brian Wodar
The tax impact of delaying a charitable gift by just a couple of weeks (until 2013) could be large, but it may not be positive for US taxpayers. (more…)
A Municipal Bond Cliffhanger
Municipal bonds are popular because the interest they pay is exempt from federal taxation. But in its search for solutions to the fiscal cliff, the US federal government is looking under every rock for more revenue sources. This could put muni bonds' tax-exempt status at risk. (more…)
Tomato, Tomahto: Why Obama, Simpson-Bowles and Others Miss the Point on Munis
When it comes to eliminating or modifying the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds, everyone seems to have an opinion these days. (more…)

RE/P Files: Construction Of A Live Echo Chamber
TELEFUNKEN Electroakustic of South Windsor, CT is introducing the new M81-WH wireless capsule head at AES 2012 in San Francisco. Designed for use with the Shure brand wireless microphone transmitters, the M81-WH features the same physical and sonic characteristics as the M81 Universal Dynamic.
In comparison with the M80-WH, the TELEFUNKEN M81-WH retains the same minimal proximity effect, superior feedback rejection, and articulate mid-range, however, the top end is pulled back a bit, yielding a flatter overall frequency response.
This combination results in a microphone with a wealth of body and clarity, making it a great tool for taming brighter vocals.
Over the past few years, the performance of TELEFUNKEN's M80-WH has been likened to that of a condenser microphone and has become a staple for vocal applications, especially in the world of touring and live performance. The new M81-WH delivers that same high-level of performance, just with a different sonic fingerprint.

The Soul Mate For You Test
Their result for The Soul Mate For You Test ...
You scored 0 Flow of Energy, 80 Info Processing, 100 Decision Making, and 40 Lifestyle!
INFJs are warm, considerate, affirming partners who feel great depth of love for their partners. They enjoy showing this love, and want to receive affirmation back from their mates.
They are complex by nature and seek out relationships that are intense and meaningful. They tend to be perfectionists, and are always striving for the Ultimate Relationship. In general, the INFJ is a deeply warm and caring person who is highly invested in the health of their close relationships, and puts forth a lot of effort to make them positive. They are valued by those close to them for these special qualities. They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.
They are perfectionists, constantly striving to achieve the Perfect Relationship. This can sometimes be frustrating to their mates, who may feel put upon by the INFJs demanding perfectionism. However, it may also be greatly appreciated, because it indicates a sincere commitment to the relationship, and a depth of caring which is not usually present in other types.
Sexually, INFJs view intimacy as a nearly spiritual experience. They embrace the opportunity to bond heart and soul with their mates. As service-oriented individuals, it's very important to them that their mates are happy. Intimacy is an opportunity for the INFJ to selflessly give their love, and experience it in a tangible way.
Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, INFJ's natural partner is the ENTP, or the ENFP.
What is your personality type and do you match with the INFJ? Take my other quiz: "The Ultra Ultimate Personality Test."

DEFINITION of 'Corporate Credit Rating'
The opinion of an independent agency regarding the likelihood that a corporation will fully meet its financial obligations as they come due. A company's corporate credit rating indicates its ability to pay its creditors and gives investors an idea of how well or poorly the company's securities are likely to perform. Corporate credit ratings are an opinion, not fact.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Corporate Credit Rating'
Corporate credit ratings are not a guarantee that a company will repay its obligations, but the overall, long-term track record of these ratings is strong. Standard & Poor's says "the average five-year default rate for investment-grade corporate issuers was 1.07%, compared with 16.03% for speculative-grade companies."
S&P, Moody's and Fitch are the three main providers of corporate credit ratings. Each agency has its own ratings system that doesn't necessarily equate to another company's ratings scale, but they are all similar. Fitch and Standard & Poor's use AAA for the highest credit quality, AA for the next best, followed by A, then BBB for good credit. Everything below BBB is considered speculative or worse, down to a D rating, which indicates default.
Since the ratings are opinions, ratings of the same company can differ among rating agencies. Investment research firm Morningstar also provides corporate credit ratings that range from AAA for extremely low default risk to D for payment default.
During the financial crisis of 2008, companies that had received glowing ratings from various credit rating agencies were downgraded to junk levels, calling into question the reliability of the ratings themselves.

Florence, the birthplace of the European Renaissance, thrived between the 14th and 17th centuries as a center of trade, finance, architecture, and the arts. At the height of its power and influence, it became one of the wealthiest cities of all time, and its rulers built some of the grandest churches, palaces, and museums in Europe. Today, these Florentine wonders are still being enjoyed by millions of people who come to Florence to pay homage to the culture and heritage of a city that has left an enduring legacy for the world. But aside from renowned paintings, sculptures, and monuments, Florence today also serves host to a festival which aims to preserve and nurture opera music, an inheritance from the Renaissance era and one of Florence's greatest contribution to the arts.

Columbia Crest Merlot H3 Horse Heaven Hills
Columbia Crest - Washington State - United States - Columbia Valley - Horse Heaven Hills
With its dark blue colored fruits and high juice content, Merlot varietal grapes have long been a favorite of wine producers around the globe, with it being found in vineyards across Europe, the Americas and elsewhere in the New World. One of the distinguishing features of Merlot grapes is the fact that they have a relatively low tannin content and an exceptionally soft and fleshy character, meaning they are capable of producing incredibly rounded and mellow wines. This mellowness is balanced with plenty of flavor, however, and has made Merlot grapes the varietal of choice for softening other, more astringent and tannin-heavy wines, often resulting in truly exceptional produce. Merlot is regarded as one of the key 'Bordeaux' varietals for precisely this reason; when combined with the drier Cabernet Sauvignon, it is capable of blending beautifully to produce some of the finest wines available in the world.
The popularity of fine red wines, made with classic Old World grape varietals, has continued to increase in the United States over the past few decades. Washington state has consistently impressed with their red wine grape varietals, and many of the most popular American red wines of the past twenty years have come from this unique and interesting state with its two distinct regions. The vast majority of Washington's wines come from the arid eastern half of the state, a semi-desert irrigated by the rivers which run through the area, with considerably fewer wineries found in the wetter western side. Washington is renowned for the production of strong, fruit-forward wines made with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and other varietals, with many fine white wines being produced there also.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

fill near house
I have a 30' section of wall outside which has a gradual
slope towards the foundation. So I have removed the
plastic and rocks (which pushed water against the foundation).
Now I am about to add up about 2' of fill to correct
the slope away from the house.
What do you think of these options:
just dirt, plants later
dirt, then more plastic and rocks
class 5 fill, covered by 6" of topsoil
goal is water control and a easy to maintain
area. not big on rocks now..
1. stay away from plastic. It will concentrate water and you have no way of preventing the water from eventually getting under it.
2. adding a little bit of loose surface material over compacted material that is pitched toward he house is not likely to keep the water from moving across the top of the compacted surface.
3. the better thing to do, if you can do it, is to create a swale out away from the house that diverts the water so that it never approaches the house.
4. (this should really be #1) eliminate every source of water in the area by diverting it. Most notably would be downspouts if you have gutters.
