Battle of the Dolcettos
Anyone who knows Italian wine will know that these two superstars of the Italian wine world are about as different as Parmigiano and Buffalo Mozzarella. One is a huge producer of world famous Barolos and Barbarescos with a massive output of 500,000 bottles a year whilst the other has a tiny portion of Piedmontese heaven and a tinsy winsy production of 35,000 bottles a year. Both are considered among the very best winemakers in Italy and both produce some of the very best, if not THE best Barolos in the world. This is undeniable, indisputable and its a good job we are not here disputing it. What I find amazing is the difference in their Dolcettos.
This week I was lucky enough to spend time in the company of some of the most knowledgeable connoisseurs in Italy at the St Regis Hotel, Rome. The discussion, as it invariably does, turned to Barolo and then, as it never does, to Dolcetto. It's generally agreed that Dolcetto is for the proles. A poor wine for the grape pickers of the Piedmont, not the reserve of the wine quaffers in the capital. This sent me red. Not the usual bright red I go when any alcohol passes my lips (damn these ruddy English cheeks), but red because Dolcetto .... is my guilty little pleasure.
So this weekend I decided to crack open two Dolcettos by the very finest producers in the Piedmont. In the red corner, Bruno Giacosa's Dolcetto D'Alba 2006 and, in the blue corner, Roberto Voerzio's Dolcetto Priavino 2005. I fully expected nothing but pleasure and delight for myself as well as my invited houses guests, instead I may have turned a member of our group off Italian wine for life.
How? Let's just say, having championed Roberto Voerzio all evening the Dolcetto Priavino was a complete... turkey! I've never tasted a more expensive Dolcetto, and at €15 I have to give this wine a huge pass. It pains me to do so as Roberto Voerzio is my favourite wine producer in all of Italy. Simply put, there is no VFM here. Have you ever opened a bottle with high hopes and found yourself going back to it every 15 minutes to see if it just needed time? Last night was comical. I waited for the Voerzio wine to throw me a bone, it never did, this wine has NO finish. The wine has a fine dark purple colour and a nice nose of cherries, dark fruits, licorice and a little smoky tobacco but was so light and dead on the palate, the finish lasted just 3 seconds which, as it was so terrible, came as a relief! "It needs a few more years in the bottle"? I'm glad I didn't buy a case.
Bruno Giacosa's Dolcetto d'Alba saved the night. Last month, I sampled and reviewed the 2005 which scored a massive 91 points. Dolcetto is a very simple wine so to score a Dolcetto 91 is huge. The 2006 needed more time in the decanter and is not quite as fruity as the '05 and for this I'm marking it down to 89 (still a huge score for a Dolcetto). Both these vintages are roughly €10 and available from http://www.wineshop.it/ and even in general winestores.
Full tasting notes to follow...
Bruno Giacosa Dolcetto d'Alva 2006 - €10 - BUY
A dull dark purple/violet with interesting ruby reflection, full bodied to the eye. Knockout nose, so strong that the glass had to be left for 30 mins. Characteristic nose of cherries and vanilla, very clean and with just a hint of spices and pepper. Full out attack on the palate, medium body, good acidity and balance with a mid length finish of berries and a touch of plum. Smooth with balanced tannins. Decant for a minimum of 1 hour. 89 Points
Roberto Voerzio Dolcetto d'Alva Priavino 2005 - €15 - PASS
Intense dark purple colour in the glass verging on black. Superb and strong notes of cherry, dark fruits, licorice and hints of tobacco on the nose. Very pungent nose that mellowed over time. Surprising light bodied on the palate, tannic and drying with a short, sharp finish that lasted only 3 seconds. The wine improved after several hours of decanting, but only a little. 83 Points
Question of the Day
I know many wine experts who like to believe they are completely uninfluenced by their expectations of a wine when tasting non-blind. I clearly returned to the Voerzio because of my expectations, had the wine been from an unknown supplier at €3 it would have taken its trip down the sink much sooner. Have I been unjustly harsh because of my high expectations? So todays questions is: To what degree does your expectation of a wine effect your tasting notes and scores?

Hey Sarah
This blog is excellent, where do you find the time? I actually enjoyed the Voerzio dolcetto but think you're on the money with the Giacosa dolcetto. I'll never understand why nobody rates this wine. Catch you back on the Erob boards.
Whre are you buiyng the Voerzio?
As for the question, it doesnt matter what anybody says you are influenced if tasting none blind. But you could easily "throw down the sinK" a bottle that needed decanting. Im a strong supporter in a TN marking off every hours.

Forget to ask, have you tasted Voerzios Barbera d'Alba Riserva Vigneto? Massive step up.

My first and last tasting of this Voerzio Dolcetto. It was very disappointing as I´d tasted a really terrific Dolcetto previously.

Hi Sarah,
great site, really enjoying reading.
I wonder if you will be reviewing the Syrah Planeta 05 soon?
I live in Michigan and haven't seen it over here yet.

Hi Cathy
We havent got around to the Planetas yet but I have already reviewed the 05 on Erob.
I'll dig it out for you.
A review of the Planeta range might be an idea for a forthcoming Vlog. Let's see if everyone is up for Planeta 05 night.
The 05 has been out here for a while so no idea why its not over in the US yet? Anyone know? - October 29, 2007 at 9:52 AM
Have to concur, the Voerzio Dolcetto isn't a patch on the Giacosa. Its because Giacosa can produce 500,000 wonderful wines that he is the best producer in Italy, no questions.
- October 29, 2007 at 2:11 PM
Personally I taste wine blind wherever possible to avoid any influences or preconceptions I have. The only problem is, like the writer noted, that you can end up wasting a perfectly good wine that is tight after initially uncorked.
Who really has time to taste wines over several hours (consider some Gaja wines need 2 days). - October 29, 2007 at 3:58 PM
No are winebow bringing Planeta over???? :o/

Because we're not yet ready to let go of awards season and we have a feeling you aren't either, we've going to dwell on Oscars Sunday just a little longer. We've gone ahead and rounded up our favourite after-party looks from the annual post-Oscars Vanity Fair soirée, and they're just as glamourous as those on our best dressed list from the main event itself.
Red carpet regulars like Zoe Saldana and Kate Bosworth knocked it out of the sartorial ballpark once again in a ruffle and lace Givenchy number and embroidered Giambattista Valli frock respectively, while Amy Adams and Elizabeth Banks stunned in fringed Oscar de la Renta and printed Alexander McQueen.
Our hands-down favourite though was Rose Byrne, who served up possibly her best red carpet appearance ever, surprising us in a gorgeous white Lanvin getup. An incredible improvement over her horrendous SAG Awards outing!

1 dead as fire rages through Lansdowne apartments
LANSDOWNE — Flames roared through an apartment complex on South Wycombe Avenue early this morning, leaving one woman dead, a firefighter injured and dozens others homeless, officials said.
The Delaware County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Margaret McClernan, 51, and her cause of death due to smoke and soot inhalation, with the manner being the victim of an accidental house fire.
A Lansdowne Fire Company firefighter was treated at Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital for burn injuries to his hand and released, according to authorities.
Firefighters received a call for a building fire at 32 S. Wycombe Ave., the Keystone Apartments, at 4:58 a.m., according to officials on the scene this morning.
Fire investigators now are attempting to determine the cause of the blaze as residents salvage belongings while trying to determine what they'll do next.
"A neighbor called it in," said H. Wayne Worley, deputy chief of the Lansdowne Fire Company. "The first engine had heavy fire on the third floor of the south side of the building."
He said the fire started in a third-floor apartment, where the occupant was found by firefighters.
"She was recovered but she was obviously deceased," Worley said.
He said most of the residents had already heeded the sound of the alarms and had left the building by the time firefighters arrived.
Firefighters quickly contained the fire, which spread to the attic. Continued...
"Through cutting holes in the roof and pulling (the) ceiling, they actually got the fire," Worley said, adding that it was under control in about 50 minutes. "Being on a third floor of an apartment house, ... hose structures were at their max but the guys did a good job getting in there and getting it out. The guys did a really great job."
He said the residents of the 24 apartments will be displaced for some time because of the roof holes, the water damage and the temporary loss of gas, electric and water.
Jesse Brooks, who has lived there for about a year, returned to his first floor apartment to retrieve what he could.
He described what the scene was like earlier.
"I heard the alarms go off," Brooks said. "I thought it was routine."
Then, he said, he heard the police knocking on doors.
When he learned that one of his neighbors died in the blaze, he said he was really saddened.
"I couldn't imagine somebody being trapped inside the house unable to get out," Brooks said.
Mike Gamber, owner of TDW Financial LLC, the firm that owns the apartment complex, was on site this morning talking to residents. He declined comment.
Fire companies that assisted Lansdowne included East Lansdowne, Yeadon, Clifton Heights, Sharon Hill, Holmes, Collingdale No. 2, Darby No. 1, Drexel Hill and Cardington. Fitzgerald Mercy emergency responders also helped at the scene.

A deep bench that produced and solid shooting from the charity stripe Tuesday night gave Clinton a conference road win over Topsail and the top spot in the East Carolina Central Conference.
"Now, we truly are in control of our destiny," an elated coach Randy Jordan said of his varsity Horses who have only three regular season games left.
"We are alone in first place now with a 9-2 conference record and three games left to play. It's a good position to be in, and just like I told the guys last week, it's up to us. We are in control of what we do."
The Horses showed that control Tuesday as an aggressive Topsail came out determined to overpower the Horses. They did just that in the first quarter, playing what Jordan called physical and aggressive basketball. By first quarter's end, the home team had the Horses by 7, at 17-10.
But a flagrant foul call on a Topsail player shifted the momentum, and Clinton took control.
Tospail player Trevor Savidge got called for the T and was ejected after he and Dark Horse Wil Pearson got tangled up and Savidge, Jordan said, kicked and pounded at his player until the referee called the foul.
"I have to give Wil a lot of credit. He maintained his composure and didn't try to retaliate, something we've stressed to the guys all season," the Clinton coach acknowledged.
But the technical served to give the Horses the jolt they needed. "We were far more aggressive from then on, and we were able to take control of the game," Jordan said.
That was true even though Clinton got in foul trouble of its on early in the game. But a deep bench that produced turned a negative into a positive for the Horses, who shot 25 for 39 at the charity stripe.
Jordan said O.J. Jones and Ryan Chester came off the bench and gave strong performances to help the Horses maintain their lead and get the win.
"I was very proud of all our guys. It was a big win for us," Jordan stressed.
Demontio Bryant led scoring for Clinton with 17 points. He also was 15 of 21 from the foul line. Shian Bradshaw had 14 points; J.C. Evans, 10; and Greg Smith, 7, including two big 3-pointers.
The Horses will play host to East Duplin Friday night.

A Pakistani schoolgirl who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban has been discharged from hospital in the UK after making a good recovery from surgery.
Malala Yousufzai underwent successful surgery on her skull and ear in a five-hour operation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham last weekend.
The 15-year-old escaped death by inches when she was shot on October 9 last year. The bullet entered just above her left eye and ran along her jaw, "grazing" her brain.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital said the teenager's medical team decided she was well enough to be discharged as an in-patient after making a good recovery from her surgery.
The hospital said Malala will now continue her rehabilitation at her family's temporary home in Birmingham and will visit occasionally for outpatient appointments.
It said her family had asked for the media to respect their privacy and dignity at this time.

Wonderful work by Whitley of Women's Workout World
Updated: September 17, 2012 11:39AM
Dear Fixer: I joined Women's Workout World in August 2011. My membership was payable on a month-to-month basis.
The month after I joined, I went into the hospital for routine hernia surgery. There were some complications and two days later, while still in the hospital, I had a stroke that affected my vision.
I was unable to drive, but I continued to pay my monthly membership fee of $19. My ophthalmologist was not very encouraging as far as me being able to drive again, but my neurologist was more so. I kept paying my $19-a-month fees for the next nine months in the hope that I would be able to return to the club.
Fast-forward to June. I finally decided to call the club and cancel my membership. A few days later, I received a document from my ophthalmologist stating I meet the requirements to drive again.
I called the corporate offices of Women's Workout World in early August and asked if I could be reinstated to my old membership plan based on my circumstances and the fact that I continued to pay my fees even when I wasn't able to use the services.
I was told no; I would have to rejoin and pay $159 upfront and then $15 a month for a two-year contract. Can you help?
Lana Kaske
Dear Lana: First, let us say it has been The Fixer's observation that 9.99 times out of 10, the consumer is out of luck when it comes to a rules dispute with a health club. The fitness industry is known for sticking to the fine print when it comes to things such as membership fees, cancellations and contract periods.
But your case did seem to be unique, so we asked Women's Workout World — also known as W3 — President and CEO Shari Whitley if anything could be done.
Guess what? Within minutes of our inquiry, Whitley responded that she sympathized with your predicament and would find a way to resolve it.
You soon got a call from Kathy LaMonto of member services, who promised to reinstate your old $19-a-month plan. W3 also offered to credit you for the nine months of fees you paid when you were recovering. So they more than fixed this.
LaMonto said she wasn't aware of your medical circumstances earlier; now she looks forward to helping you stay physically fit.
Three minutes a day didn't work?
The makers of Ab Circle Pro, who claimed just three minutes a day on their device could help users lose 10 pounds in two weeks, have agreed to pay up to $25 million in refunds to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission that they over-hyped their health claims.
If you bought an Ab Circle Pro, you may be eligible for a refund. For more info and to apply, go to FTC.gov.
A word about credit reports
Mistakes happen, so it's a good idea to have a peek at your credit report now and then. Federal law entitles consumers to one free report from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus every 12 months. Go to the official site, annualcreditreport.com, and follow the prompts for the free reports. You will not have to buy anything, and you don't have to provide a credit card number.~.

Pulse of The People: More than numbers
The way some people talk in Washington you could get the idea that Social Security and Medicare are little more than numbers in a budget.
Yet for families in New York state and all over America, Social Security and Medicare have a deeper meaning: They are the very foundation of security in retirement.
Social Security and Medicare enable millions of older Americans to survive financially each month, after years of working hard and paying taxes to earn these protections. One day, younger people will count on these same pillars of security for their own independence and dignity in old age.
As lawmakers consider the U.S. budget, here are a couple numbers they should keep in mind: Half of America's seniors get by on less than $20,000 a year. And here's another: Typical seniors already spend nearly 20 percent of their incomes on health care, a percentage that continues to rise.
These facts argue against treating Social Security and Medicare as bargaining chips in a year-end political deal. Instead, we should be discussing responsible ways to preserve their vital protections for future generations.
A good place to start is by recognizing the essential role that Social Security and Medicare play in the lives of average Americans:
n Social Security provides more than half the household income for one out of two older Americans. In New York, 2.3 million residents received Social Security in 2011 and for the typical New Yorker it comprised 58 percent of their income.
n Social Security benefits keep 32 percent of New York's seniors, approximately 800,000, above the poverty line. And benefits are modest, averaging under $15,000 a year.
n Medicare enables over 50 million older Americans and people with disabilities to receive affordable health care. In New York that's 2.5 million people. Still, seniors have to pay $4,600 on average out of their own pockets for care each year. Without Medicare, many would have to spend thousands more for private coverage — if they could afford it at all.
Since early 2012, AARP has been encouraging a conversation about the long-term financial challenges facing Social Security and Medicare, and how to keep these programs effective for the long haul. This effort, which we call You've Earned Say, has engaged millions of Americans — and they've made their feelings clear. Continued...
In a recent AARP poll, 91 percent of Americans age 50 and over said Social Security was "critical" to the economic security of seniors, and an even higher 95 percent described Medicare as critical to health security for seniors.
To be sure, older Americans want very much to reduce the budget deficit and put our nation on a more secure fiscal path. But they seek measures that are responsible and fair, not ill-considered "solutions" that would cause more problems than they solve.
The fact is we are living in a time when retirement security has unraveled for many, due to a combination of trends. Private pensions are shrinking. Savings rates remain low. Home values have fallen. The cost of living continues to rise.
These realities make it unwise and even reckless to cut back Social Security and Medicare, just to meet numerical targets in a budget deal. Rather, the economic pressures facing older Americans warrant an open, thoughtful discussion on ways to enhance retirement security and how to strengthen the bedrock programs that provide it.
This focus is critical not only for today's retirees and working Americans, but for future generations. AARP will continue to remind our elected leaders of the importance of Social Security and Medicare in New York and communities all over the country.
Of course, budgets matter. But we should never forget their impact on the real people behind the numbers.

December, 2010--Planning is now underway for the Razorback Regional Greenway, a 36-miles bike and pedestrian trail from Fayetteville to Bella Vista. In October 2010, the greenway was awarded $15 million through the TIGER II grant program funded by the US Department of Transportation. The Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission is hoping that up to $10 million in additional funding is available from the Walton Family Foundation. Twenty five million dollars should be enough to build the greenway backbone from Bella Vista through Bentonville, Rogers, Lowell, Springdale, Johnson and Fayetteville. Another $13 million is needed for amenities such as lighting, trail heads and benches which could be raised through corporate and civic donations. A tentative completion date is December 2016.

Winners by count out, the Malenko Brothers
Fans are encouraged to write in to the Florida wrestling offices, to request a match they want to see during the holiday season, with 1 special match chosen each week through the month of December on Southern Championship Wrestling starting December 1st. The steel cage is then assembled.
Sixth Contest A Steel Cage Match for the Florida Heavyweight Championship
Inside the steel, the Natural Butch Reed faces off with the champion, the Devil himself, Kevin Sullivan. For almost 3 months, Reed has been chasing the Florida title and Sullivan, by hook or by crook has been just a half step ahead, escaping by count out or disqualification. Today, there is no escape. There is only win or fail. There will be blood, pain, all the things that Sullivan loves and Reed will deliver.
The two men square off in the ring with referee Jack Terry the third man inside. The bell sounds and the two combatants get face to face. Reed is flexing his chest, looking coolly at the champion. Sullivan with a snarl etched on his sadistic face, waits for the challengers first move, throwing a sharp left to strike first. And with that first punch, the brawl begins. Reed and Sullivan take turns driving one another head long into the steel. Gashing, gushing, bleeding, breaking. Sullivan looks early on to have the upper hand, working on the back of the challenger and locking him into a back breaking Boston crab near the 10 minute mark. Reed powers out and battles back. He punishes Sullivan, pushing the count for a break time and again. A big power slam gets a near fall, and the champion barely survives after a huge press slam near the 15 minute mark. The end comes though after a Sullivan was able to reverse an Irish whip and slam the bad back of the challenger into an unprotected turnbuckle. A jarring hip toss sent Reed to the mat and Sullivan delivered a double stomp to the chest of the challenger. A cover, but Reed kicks out. Now frustrated, Sullivan climbs up to the top turnbuckle and leaps down. Reed rolls out of the way and Sullivan comes down awkwardly, his ankle seeming to buckle. Reed pulls himself up and runs at the far sides ring ropes, flying back at Kevin with a huge airborne shoulder tackle. Butch covers and Jack Terry counts the 1-2-3.
Winner of the match in 18:46 and NEW Florida Heavyweight Champion, Butch Reed
2nd Intermission
As the cage is taken down, fans are again reminded to write in and request matches they want to see in the month of December.
Seventh Contest- 1 fall with a 20 minute time limit
In a tag team grudge match, Mike Graham and Brian Blair defeat Warlord Jonathan Boyd and his Missing Link after a big drop kick from Blair knocked the Missing Link into a waiting Graham sleeper hold after 14:30.
Eighth Contest 1 fall for the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship
Jake Roberts approaches the ring with a large bag over his shoulder and with King Curtis Iaukea a step behind. The leader of the Legion of Doom grabs the house microphone from Gordon Solie.
Barry Windham. Before you come out here, you need to look yourself in the mirror and ask, Do I have enough tonight? Because Ive looked into these eyes, Windham. I know, in my soul, what Im capable of doing to you. I know what will happen. You will fall. And then, you will feel the coolness creep over you, your failure will consume you. And when you see me standing above you holding that Southern Heavyweight belt, it will swallow you whole.
Windham comes out to loud cheers from the Fort Lauderdale fans, handing off the belt to referee Jack Terry. Following the bell, Roberts immediately slides to the outside and gets an earful from the fans, including a few empty cups tossed in his general direction. Windham shows the patience of a champion and Roberts finally gets back into the ring for an initial tie up. But it is quick as Jake knees the champ in the midsection and starts going to work on the double dangerous right arm. Jake is looking to take away both the lariat and the claw hold the champion uses and for the first 3-4 minutes, the leader of the Legion of Doom does so unmercifully. Finally, after using the ropes to torque the arm, referee Earl Hebner finally calls for a break and Roberts backs away, with only a sharp kick to get the arm free from its entanglement.
Barry tries to battle back, relying on the left, knees and a surprising dropkick to get Roberts on his heels and only a distraction by King Curtis gains the challenger a reprieve. As the ten minute mark passes, both second generation grapplers show they have learned their lessons well. Near the 12 minute mark, Barry looks to finally have control of the match and goes for a bulldog, only to be shoved off by Roberts, having trusted the grip of his battered right arm. A rear chin lock, grounds Windham and is only broken when Barry pushes Jake into a pinning predicament. Roberts rolls away and strikes quickly, delivering a sharp clothesline of his own that takes down Windham as the challenger goes back to work on the arm. A rudimentary hammer lock adds to the pressure until the champion reaches the bottom rope for a now desperate break.
Twenty minutes have passed and Roberts sheen of sweat has him taking on a more serpentine appearance. When Windham tries for a back body drop, Jake just drops to a knee and delivers a staggering upper cut. Then the challenger drives a knee into the champion that sends Windham tumbling through the ropes to the outside. But as the Snake chases down his prey on the outside, a malevolent mongoose makes his way to the ring area in the massive One Man Gang. Iaukea tries to keep him away, but is slammed head long into the steel ring post, busting the King wide open. Roberts hustles away, but the OMG rumbles after him. The challenger is looking back so far, he fails to see the champion rise ahead of him. Barry delivers a lethal left arm lariat that floors Roberts. Barry staggers and rolls inside the ring just as referee Hebner finishes his count.
Winner of the match, as a result of a count out at 24:29, Barry Windham
With Roberts down, now the Gang gets in his licks, pounding on Roberts to the cheers of the crowd until the blood covered King Curtis pulls forth the snake which Roberts brought to ringside. Iaukea tosses the snake onto the OMG, gaining Jake the moment he needs to escape.
Main Event of the Evening
Best 2 out of 3 falls for the NWA World Tag Team Championship 60 minute time limit
Hernandez and Garvin strut to the ring, while their challengers Barr and George seem more serious. But this feud comes quickly to blows. Gino does the damage early as he catches Mike with a nice flying back elbow, but Barr saves his partner with a stiff sledge hammer blow. Garvin looks very strong against Jesse, and the champions get the first fall after 8 minutes thanks to a pile driver from Jimmy on the young Barr.
The second fall sees Garvin go right after the already damaged neck of Barr, but youthful resilience allows Jesse to make a blind tag, with Mike rolling up Jimmy to even the falls at one a piece.
The third fall is a barn burner with neither team giving an inch. Hernandez and Garvin are busted open and Barr looks like he has the handsome half-breed in the spinning toe hold. But Gino rolls it into a small package and the World Champions escape with their belts once again.

That is a great show! The fans would have loved it. The cage match is fantastic and the two ou of three falls title match would have been worth the price of admission.

Reed gets the belt from Sullivan in the cage. First happy camper deal. Windham wins and OMG gets his licks in on Roberts. Second happy camper deal. Loved the two out of three fall deal to the championship match for the WTTC. Good showing from Huber and Regal. Brown and Valentine would have been a sleeper show stealer. Ash getting the TV title was a nice touch. The Nightmare and Aguayo is going to be intense.
Great holiday action.

Great show for the Thanksgiving crowd!
I'm happy to see Reed getting the win over Sullivan, as I've been waiting for that one.
The tag champs should give thanks that they left there with their belts, because the just abot didn't.
As a fan, I've got a match to request....Windham/Reed vs Sullivan/Roberts. That would be a dynamite tag team bout to show on tv.

Snowdon View
Final post of the week, shot from half way up Snowdon, certainly the easiest of The Three Peaks with the added advantage of having a Cafe at the top! who'd have thought it, climb a mountain get to the top and have an ice cold beer or coffee then if your tired you could get the train back down. I generally find coming down the mountains harder than going up, being a big lad I get lots more pressure on my knees and they tend to ache a lot.
Keep an eye out in The peaks this weekend for a Photographer with a Husky, say hi to me if you see us.

PILOT MOUNTAIN — The Surry Central Swim team is getting ready for its Thursday home opener against North Surry.
"We've got depth on the girls' team and a lot of talent and the largest guys' team ever," said Surry Central Head Coach Dara Kowalcik.
The girls' team finished third in the conference last year and the boys', which only lost one senior, finished fourth. "This group works hard and is willing to learn," said Kowalcik. The boys have extra depth in both the freestyle and breaststroke this year, the coach added.
Kowalcik said that the girls' team had four qualifiers for the state meet last year and one of them, Christine Hawks, is returning this season.
Last year Hawks finished 15th in the state in the butterfly stroke and said it is her favorite because it has always been a challenge. She will be a top competitor for the Golden Eagles swim team in the 200 I medley, 100 butterfly, 200 medley relay, and 200 free relay, according to the coach.
"My goal is one minute flat in the butterfly," said Hawks.
Surry Central has sent kids to state in the swim meet every year, Kowalcik said.
"Our motto is go big or go home," said Kowalcik.
The team will compete in its season opener at the Armfield Civic Center on Thursday beginning at 6 pm.
The 2012-13 team roster for the Surry Central girls is: Cheyenne Black, Tori Blevins, Elizabeth Bottoms, Belle Brindle, Sabrina Dixon, Laura Dobbins, Sydney Elam, Picabo Eubanks, Zoe Eubanks, Caitlin Fowler, Grizelida Galean, Lyndsey Goss, Christine Hawks, Chantel Hazelwood, Kaitlin Kidd, Sarah Lowry, Logan Lynch, McKenzie Reaves, Madison Robertson, Abby Shepard, Katelyn Southard, Haley Stanley, Hannah Strickland.
The 2012-13 team roster for the Surry Central boys is: Micheal Bisceglio, John Blake Belcher, Nathaniel Blevins, Scott Bowman, Jeremy Dixon, Evan France, Luke Hinson, Jared Hembree, James McCraw, Manuel Secundino, Austin Wood, Wesley Wood, Louis Gonzalez, and Josh Castro.

Interested in new Frye products?
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

These are beautiful boots, but the calf dimension is very skinny! I have other Frye boots and they are perfect, but these fit very tight around the calf.

I love these boots! Both the black & redwood colors are beautiful &, of course, very well made. But the boots are absolutely stunning in the redwood! The logo shows up much better & they are more unique looking in the redwood color than in the black. Strangers stop to ask me about them & both male & female friends notice & compliment them! I had wanted Frye boots for years but not only had the price stopped me from buying but I have a narrow foot & the Frye boots I had tried on were always too wide. The Dorado Riding boots were beautiful but were so big on my narrow foot that I could just kick them off. I initially ordered my normal size 7 1/2 in black & the redwood in size 7. I wound up sending both back & getting the redwood in a 6 1/2, a full size smaller than I usually wear. Not only are these boots gorgeous but they were very comfortable from day 1. There was no break in time as I had expected. They are very well made. The soles are textured to avoid slipping & the rubber on the back end of the heel makes walking very easy & comfortable too. Even though I've had them a few weeks I have worn them many times & they are extremely comfortable, they fit well, are beautiful & I get so many compliments! They are well worth the money! And I am so thankful to have these boots! Did I mention that I love these boots?

This boot is stunning. Superb styling. Stiff (stands straight, doesn't bend) but gorgeous leather. I'm 5'2 and the back of the boot hits 1.5" below the bend of the back of my knee. I was afraid it would be too tall but good thing I wear a 6. Of course, the bigger the size, the taller the shaft.

Really pretty boots. Quality leather. Unfortunately, I had to return mine because they were just too tall. They were so tall on my leg that I was unable to sit down comfortably. There is more than enough to tuck pants into them if you have to. Best to buy straight leg pants though. But lots and lots of room if need be. Since they are Frye, a predominately western style boot, they do have a pointy, upward turning toe. Frye quality definitely seems to be there.

Congressman Harry Teague Visits NMSU to Discuss Renewable Energy
By Evan Woodward
Las Cruces, NM – New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District Representative Harry Teague was on the campus of New Mexico State University yesterday to meet with local renewable energy leaders. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the Congressman discussed the renewable energy benefits included in the house version of the economic stimulus package.

Energy comparison customers living in Oxfordshire could soon be receiving their cheap electricity supplies from the country's largest solar farm.
A local authority is set to save £4 million on its cheap energy bills this year after changing the way it pays for power.
Insulation is an "ideal upgrade" for people who want to cut down expenditure and are looking for cheap energy bills.
Industry watchdog Ofgem has been forced to defend itself against criticism that it is not acting fast enough to protect domestic energy users against price hikes.
Domestic energy customers might want to switch gas and electricity deals after it emerged the price of energy is running at 30 per cent higher than last year's rate.
At a time when domestic energy users are concerned that the Big Six energy suppliers will all put up their rates, the head of Centrica has called for an "honest and transparent" debate about the future of the UK's energy needs.
Domestic energy users who already own solar panels benefited this week from summer solstice - the longest day of the year. Households wanting to generate their own supply of cheap green electricity could invest in solar panelling and hopefully lower their bills.
In order to secure investment in the renewable energy market, the government has set out its Energy National Policy Statements ready to be debated in parliament.
The best time to install energy efficiency measures in order to get cheap gas bills is now, the National Insulation Association has insisted.
Householders in Flintshire are set to save thousands of pounds while receiving their own cheap electricity.
Reform of the retail energy market cannot come soon enough, as nine out of ten people (89 per cent) are most worried about their energy bills, research has found.
As worries grow as to whether other energy suppliers will follow ScottishPower's lead and put their prices up, more consumers are deciding to switch energy tariffs.
Householders might wish to compare gas prices ahead of a new "dash" for the energy source.
Energy comparison customers might have heard that energy secretary Chris Huhne is pushing for higher targets on carbon emission reductions.
Customers wishing to compare energy prices might be interested to hear that the industry watchdog is moving forward with plans for a radical overhaul of the retail gas and electricity market.
One of the Big Six energy suppliers has been warned by Ofgem that it could have made a "potentially misleading" promotional offer.
Supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda should join energy suppliers in providing cheap power for their customers' homes, the energy secretary has stated.
Customers who use a small amount of cheap energy in their home are likely to be hit hardest by ScottishPower's price hikes.
Energy suppliers which raise their prices are simply responding to movements in the wholesale markets, the head of British Gas has said.
Consumers wanting to switch gas supplier might be interested to hear that tenants in Lincolnshire will be receiving gas for the first time as part of a move to slim down energy bills.
Shopping around to compare energy deals is not as easy as some industry figures like to make out, the former chief press secretary to Margaret Thatcher has warned.
Energy suppliers have signed up to a new initiative designed to let consumers know exactly how green their energy is.
Domestic energy users whose households have a low income are spending double as much of their budget on heating their homes as those from higher-income backgrounds.

Craig Tyrrell, 40, is the oldest player on the new Harrisburg Heat of the Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL).
Tyrrell, a veteran of the outdoor game, is now learning to play an entirely different brand of soccer. "It's different because its non-stop," said Tyrrell. "Its always going. It's always moving."
That's what makes arena soccer unique.
If Tyrrell's having any issues, it's hard to tell. He's been impressive in practices for someone who stopped playing professionally seven years ago-- in 2005 -- and never though he'd play at that level again.
"I'm struggling being a 23-year-old guy," joked teammate Geoff Pezon, a former Division III standout at Messiah College.
In the PASL, the playing field is shorter in length and the players roll in and out -- much like hockey. Overall, there's not as much running around. The arena game is actually better for someone with older -- excuse me, more experienced -- legs.
Tyrrell, a native of St. Kitts in the West Indies, last played for the USL's Harrisburg City Islanders.
He is one of many players in the over-40 club in the PASL. Among them: Nick Stavrou (Dallas) and Paul Wright (San Diego), who are both 43-years-old; Chad Deering (Dallas) and Bernie Lilavois (Anaheim) are each 42, respectively.
Lilavois, who played for the old Harrisburg Heat, is now a player, coach and managing partner of the Anaheim Bolts.
"Its just about staying healthy," stated Richard Chinapoo, the Heat's head coach. "If you stay healthy -- get up and down the pitch -- you're in good shape."
Tyrrell's in great shape, actually, after playing in rec leagues and coaching the varsity boys' team at Palmyra.
"When we start playing...I don't feel (40)," said Tyrrell.
He doesn't feel his age -- he just feels ready to play.

"We understand that others may see the situation differently, and we apologize if any resident deans feel our communication at the conclusion of the investigation was insufficient," they added.
News of the secret search drew immediate criticism from some members of Harvard's faculty.
Harry Lewis, a professor and former dean of Harvard College, said on his blog that he will likely move most of his personal e-mails to another account, keeping his Harvard address just for business. He described the way the school handled the case as dishonorable.
"Why not tell people you are reading their e-mail? Would it not be the honorable thing to do? What is to be gained by not doing that? Other than avoiding, perhaps, the embarrassment of acknowledging that you are doing something to which the targets would reasonably object if they knew it," he wrote.
Attempts to contact Harvard for details on Monday on the search and the handling of it were unsuccessful.
Last month, the school announced that more than half the students implicated in the cheating scandal had been required to withdraw for a time.
More than a hundred students were investigated for plagiarism or for having "inappropriately collaborated" on a course's take-home, open-book spring final exam.
The class was Government 1310: Introduction to Congress, according to The Harvard Crimson, the school's student newspaper.
Many of those who were not forced to withdraw faced disciplinary probation at the Ivy League institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the remaining were cleared.


text: Problem: High prices not diminishing demand - example: 'peak oil myth' - so oil prices are going up, which means people will use less, and alternative forms of energy will become viable. Ok I get that. But what if, despite the high prices, a select group of people is willing to pay until it's gone? A more applicable example of this happening might be a certain kind of animal meat - say some rare, exotic species. Super rich people might not care if it's going extinct and still want to buy it to the very end. How can this be reconciled without legislation prohibiting it - is there a free market alternative?

10-4A SOFTBALL WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Poteet posts 4-2 record at Wylie Tournament
By DEVIN HASSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
Poteet geared up for the start of 10-4A play by winning four of its six games last week at the Wylie Tana Jo Thomason Tournament.
The Pirates closed the event on a sour note with an 11-2 loss to Wylie on Saturday but there were plenty of highlights in the previous games.
Poteet had romped over Irving MacArthur earlier in the day with a 23-1 win.
Cassie Vasquez got the win on the mound, part of a run of three straight games where she gave up only a single run.
On Friday, she scattered 11 hits and the offense did just enough in a 3-1 win over Rockwall. Shelby Wilson had two hits, including a double, and two runs batted in, while Yannetti had a double and a RBI.
They also scored four runs in the first inning in an 8-1 victory over Garland. Wilson had a double and a pair of RBIs, with Vasquez, Hannah Jobson and Amy Krause also drove in runs.
Poteet got off to a slow start on Thursday, managing only hits from Selena Mendoza and Jobson in a 7-0 loss to Plano East.
But the Pirates heated up in the second contest as they rolled over Rowlett in an 11-2 win. Poteet took charge from the start, grabbing a 9-0 lead through three innings. Jobson had two hits and three RBIs while Mendoza had three hits and a run batted in.
Vasquez struck out four in five innings and also drove in a pair of runs.
The Pirates (10-7) will hope to start district play on the right foot on Tuesday when they face crosstown rival West Mesquite.

Its too bad, Jones was on his way to a solid year when he got caught. He was never gonna be anything special, but he was a solid WR

At the recent Global Gaming Expo, American Gaming Association President Frank Fahrenkopf said the legalisation of online poker in the United States still remains a bone of contention for the online casino industry.
US Online Poker Legalisation Unlikely for 2012
Fahrenkopf said online poker legalisation is one of the most talked about topics among the gaming community. The vast majority of gaming companies and those who manufacture casino equipment eagerly await the legalisation of online poker in the American market.
Since the 2010 lame duck session the online poker bill sponsored by senators Harry Reid and John Kyle have been placed in the back burner by Congress. There is still a lot of discussion going on behind closed doors in Washington D.C whether the bill should be implemented or not. Unfortunately the US Congress is still in two minds about its regulation especially with the forthcoming US elections. Fahrenkopf said that many members of Congress in favor of online poker are retiring now further slowing down its regulation.
He also pointed out, "We don't know what the landscape will be like come January. It could be much more difficult if we don't get something done during the lame duck session of Congress."
Fahrenkopf said the the United States government is losing tens of millions of dollars in potential revenue every year by not regulating it. He continued in the same vein and said that 85 countries have already legalised it. H2 Gambling Capital's research indicates that 33 million players worldwide wagered approximately $35 billion over the Internet this year so far.
The introduction of a bill during the traditional session of Congress between the November elections and the end-of-the year adjournment is highly unlikely effectively stopping the legalisation of online poker this year, Fahrenkopf said.
He concluded, "The legislation may be much different than the summary we saw recently."
