The Perseid showers, our cabernet sauvignon namesake here at Meteor, are in full effect right now.
The showers will be on full display between August 10th and August 13th with Tuesday the 12th being the peak viewing day.
Every 133 years, comet Swift-Tuttle swings through the inner solar system, leaving behind a trail of dust. When the Earth passes through, the dust cloud particles hit the atmosphere at 140,000mph and burn up in streaking flashes of light, creating the spectacle known as the Perseids.
A very bright and dramatic supermoon is accompanying this year's Perseid showers. Normally, with a dark and clear sky you can see more than 100 meteors an hour. However, this year, with the supermoon in effect beginning Sunday the 10th, there might be some issues viewing the showers.
A supermoon is when the moon has reached the point in its orbit that is closest to the Earth, known as perigee. This specific supermoon will be up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons during the year and is 31,000 miles closer than when it is furthest away from Earth.
The presence of the supermoon wipes out the black, velvet backdrop that is necessary to see faint meteors, therefore causing us to see less meteors than usual.
However, the debris stream left by the comet Swift-Tuttle, which produces the Perseids, is wide, so shooting stars will make an appearance. Also, the Perseids are known to be rich in fireballs that can be as bright as Jupiter or Venus that will remain visible despite glare from the supermoon. The Perseids have actually been referred to as the "fireball champion" of meteor showers, as you can see more fireballs from Swift-Tuttle than any other comet.
Director of the Society for Popular Astronomy's meteor section, Tony Markham, urged skywatchers to stay optimistic.
"The Perseids are rich in bright meteors and so many Perseids will still be seen despite the moonlit sky background," he wrote on the SPA's website. "You can minimize the effect of the moonlight by observing with your back to the moon – possibly viewing the Cassiopeia/Cepheus/Ursa Minor area. If possible, keep the moon hidden behind trees or a nearby building."
He also noted that at this time of year the moon is relatively close to the horizon, leaving most of the sky dark and also suggests looking at an area of sky 20 to 30 degrees away from the Perseid radiant – the spot near the constellation of Perseus that the meteors appear to fly out from.
The best time to view the showers is right before dawn, so get your blanket and stay up late, or set your alarm for early morning, to view this beautiful shower.
Not only does climate change effect our water, soil and therefore our grapes, it also has had an effect on our wine materials, more specifically, corks.
Weather patterns have been continuously shifting with volatile seasons and a steady increase in temperatures throughout the world.
Wine bottle corks are created by the protective outer layer of bark surrounding the quercus suber oak trees, which grow only in southwest Europe and northwest Africa. As if late, corks have not been as high performing due to weather changes, that cause the cork bark to become thinner and thinner.
A group of researchers at the University of Lisbon analyzed the composition of high-performing trees and low-performing trees. They came to the conclusion that the difference between them was that the high-performing trees had heat shock proteins, which are compounds that help the higher performing trees deal with environmental stresses such as drought and high temperature spikes.
The low-performing trees had lower levels of these heat shock proteins causing them to produce thinner bark (which cannot be used for higher quality corks). Due to the low levels of the compound plus the addition of phenolic compounds that show up in response to weather and environmental stress, the cork itself therefore has more lenticular channels.
These channels are very undesirable in wine corks as they have a high tendency to let oxygen through, therefore causing a bottle to become corked. A great and intact cork will safeguard a wine's taste while aiding in its aging process while these thinner corks can and often do taint a wine's flavor.
This new development poses some issues to the cork industry that already face concerns due to companies creating alternative closures to wine bottles already, such as synthetic wine stoppers or metal caps. Problems have arisen with both of these alternatives; screw caps are not sustainable and are therefore not biodegradable while the plastic closures are made from petro-chemicals, also not biodegradable.
There has been talk of cloning the trees with the high levels of protein, or adding protein supplements to the low-yield trees. This type of solution wouldn't come into fruition for another decade or so as a cork oak needs to be 25 years old before it can produce an annual cork harvest.
With a steady decline in cork production, we will see an increase in prices forcing the wine industry to move to cheaper alternatives. Therefore, wineries may start looking to move away from the cork altogether for the long term.
So, are you stuck on the highly desirable cork, or will you move to a newer alternative?
Every year on June 30th people across the country search for meteors in the skies as they celebrate National Meteor Day. There are MILLIONS of meteors that occur in the Earth's atmosphere daily.
A meteor, also known as a shooting star, is produced by debris falling to the Earth from space. People often seek out these meteors, or shooting stars, to make a wish. This tradition can be traced all the way back to 127 AD. Ptolemy, the Greek astronomer, hypothesized that the Gods occassionally liked to peer down at Earth from the other world. Sometimes a star would slip past them and fall through the heavens showing those on Earth that the Gods were paying attention, making it the perfect time to wish upon a star.
Meteors are actually quite small, they average only about the size of a pebble. Nearly 15,000 tons of meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere every day however, very few of them actually reach the surface. When they do reach the Earth's surface they are called meteorites.
According to some research, a meteor impacted Tunguska, Siberia on June 30th, 1908, showing this may be the origin of National Meteor Day. This was referred to as the "Siberian Explosion" which detonated with an estimated power of 1,000 times greater than the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima, it leveled trees over 40 kilometers away and shook the ground in a massive earthquake.
Meteors are typically observed at night and are visible when they are about 34 to 70 miles above the Earth. They usually disintegrate at about 31 to 51 miles above and their glow time is normally about a second.
The next visible and famous meteor shower to grace our presence will be our favorite of course, the Perseids in the middle of August.
Did you get to wish upon a star this Meteor Day? We hope all of your wishes came true!
Throughout the growing season Meteor Vineyard winemaker, Dawnine Dyer, and vineyard manager, Mike Wolf constantly check out the progess in the vineyard. With fruit set complete now, it's a good time to get a preliminary look at where we are early on in the season.
It was a very dry winter, but the timely late rains gave the vineyard very good early growth without having to do any supplemental irrigation. The property saw virtually no frost issues this year.
The late rains did create some logistical problems with weed control and incorportation of cover crops, but the vineyard is beginning to look great now.
Since the beginning of June they have been noticing a fairly average crop for the 2014 season. Our clone 4 cabernet sauvignon might be a little light this year, with our smallest clone, 337 shows a little shatter.
"Bloom set progressed normally with cooperative weather and it looks like another generous, but not huge crop-a little surprising after the 2012 and 2013 harvests and the dry winter," Wolf said.
"There is some shatter and we'll need to see the berry growth before we know the impact on cluster size but should have a well developed strategy on thinning," Dyer said.
The soils are drying throughout the property but, no need to irrigate yet, which is good, as it will help keep the berry size small.
Dawnine says at this point the crops seem to be settled into a fairly normal pattern, although she does not believe the canopy is quite as lush as usual.
"We are in the middle of our canopy management work to ensure proper exposure of every cluster to promote uniform ripening. Next step will be crop thinning to make sure there is proper balance of fruit to canopy on every vine," Wolf said.
Mike says so far it's a very early season, at least a week to ten days ahead of last year with no real hot weather yet.
The Camelopardalid meteor shower, a first-of-its-kind, occured late Friday night into early Saturday morning this past weekend. The shower, dust from a periodic comet called 209P/Linear, has never run past the Earth before.
Experts thought the May shower of Camelopardalid could rival our favorite meteor shower, the Perseids in August, due to the fact that its debris is strongly influenced by Jupiter's gravity. Due to this Jupiter influence however, it will most likely never pass through Earth's orbit again.
The shower had the potential to truly dazzle with a forecast of 200 meteors per hour. However, this forecast was stressed as only a potential as the meteor shower has a very unknown nature. On Saturday the shower peaked at between 5-10 meteors per hour. During it's peak, the Perseid shower reaches 60 meteors per hour.
Keep an eye out this coming Saturday as the comet 209P/Linear the Camelopardalid meteor shower derived from will be passing by Earth at a distance of 5 million miles.
Meteor Shower's are named for the constellation from which they seem to radiate. The radiant point for Camelopardalid is the constellation Camelopardalis (the giraffe). Only thing I know is we won't be naming our next wine Camelopardalid, what a mouth full!
We are still always looking forward to our Cabernet Sauvignon namesake showers, Perseid, in August.
Fourteen Bay Area Michelin Starred chefs gathered at Meteor Vineyard yesterday for a daylong Family House charity event of cooking, wine, cocktails and mingling together with the 8 lucky auction guests.
It was quite a treat watching chefs working together whether it be hand-rolling pasta, checking on the two 80lb pigs in the caja china's, cooking pizzas and fish in the two pizza ovens or helping place sorbet on the coconut rice pudding. We didn't just have the Michelin Chef's helping (& playing) we also had 8 well-known volunteer chefs helping on each dish that came out throughout the day, along with amazing volunteer service.
Thaddeus Vogler from Bar Agricole was slinging cocktails all day, from old-fashions to pineapple concoctions. Wines from the Schulers & Aldorotys private cellars never stopped flowing from local Brown Chardonnay, Hudson Grenache Rose, Massican Sauvignon Blanc to Fracois Cotat Sancerre rose, Dauvissat Chablis along with our Meteor Vineyard Perseid.
To Start Hiro Sone, from Ame and Terra, presented a beautiful and colorful raw fish dish that was gone in minutes to be followed by oysters by Mourad Lahlou from Aziza and savory pancakes from Stuart Brioza of State Bird Provisions.
The next round showed white asparagus from Ken Frank of La Toque, rabbit boudin blanc with a spring vegetable stew from Farmhouse Inn, Spiced duck from Robert Curry at Auberge, fresh pasta from Michael Tusk at Quince and thai style fried catfish lettuce wraps from James Syhabout from Commis. Owner Barry Schuler brought out 4 of his homemade cheeses paired with his delicious soda bread to praise from all who tasted it.
For the piece de resistance Michael Sandoval from Bouchon presented two 80lb pigs straight from the caja china, along with baked mac and cheese. Chef Jacques Pepin and Napa wine legend Margrit Mondavi were able to cut from the pig (and eat with their hands!) while toasting with a 3L of 21st Century Cuvee Brut Mumm sparkling wine.
The finale came in the form of chocolates, mini macaroons and pate de fruit from Domique Crenn of Atelier Crenn along with coconut rice pudding with mango sorbet from Roland Passot from La Folie.
The day ended with Michelin Chefs, volunteers and guests all enjoying the Napa air with a glass of wine around the firepits at Meteor Vineyard. Was a great event, for a great cause!

Delectable, an app that helps you track and organize wine on your phone has rocketed to over 2.1 million users. Using anti-terrorist technology, founder Alex Fishman, uses the same data integration technologies the government uses to track and capture terrorists, except in this case he is using it to help people find their favorite wines.
This has been a difficult task for wine apps that have come before Delectable, mostly due to the crazy amounts of wineries and wines in the world and a limited database. As most of you know, wine labels only give you the pertanent information but, what about the information the customer wants to know about the wine as they are drinking it? They want to know more about the producer, and the grapes, and the way the wines were made...the story behind the wine.
When out at a restaurant and facing these questions, you can take a photo of the label with the Delectable app, and it will tell you the vintage, more about the winery, perhaps even notes from the winemakers. And it gets even better, you can even order the wine inside the app! This is just another way for wineries to be seen via social media, and even get a sale out of it! (of course, Delectable does make a small percentage of the sale).
Another thing, it's database always gets the wines correct--take a photo of the label showing the vintage, producer and wine name, or of the wine listed on a menu, give the app a few moments, and boom! it catalogs the wine correctly!
Several wine lovers and writers say that Delectable is the best wine app on the market right now and I have to agree. Not only can you snap a photo of a bottle you are enjoying at a restaurant to learn more about it and even purchase it but, the photo is also uploaded and shared with your "friends" on delectable (similar to Instagram).
Your friends will see what you are drinking, and you can see what they are drinking, perhaps therefore finding a new bottle of wine to try out at next weekends BBQ or dinner! The app allows you to rate the wine, so you can see what your friends and even people you highly respect in the industry are recommending by how they have ranked their experience with the wine.
In October 2013 Delectable partnered up with VinTank and with this partnership, Delectable data such as who is drinking what and where appears in VinTank Social Connect for wineries interested in what consumers are up to. This is a huge step in leading wineries to find potential clients via social media.
With very few drawbacks such as not being able to manually enter information if the photo doesn't include it, a better rating system, or perhaps better tagging capabilities and fun filters like Instagram, I would recommend the app for wine lovers across the world, and for wineries looking to interact with their client base! It's a win-win and a fun one at that!
What is Bud Break? This isn't just a beautiful site, it's when the ground warms up as hormones activate in the roots and tell the vine to grow in order to produce all of the wines we love to drink.
The bud break stage begins around March with the "bleeding" of the wine, when the warm soil and osmotic forces pushes water, containing a low concentration of organic acids, hormones, minerals and sugars, up from the root system and it is expelled from the cuts left over from pruning the vine.
Did you know that during this period a single vine can "bleed" up to 1.3 gallons of water?
Bud Break is also known as the "green point." Each bud contains all of the ingredients in tiny forms—shoots, leaves, tendrils and berries that are not yet grapes. When the sap starts to flow, the grapes will begin to grow.
Pruners leave two buds on each spur carefully in place in order to provide growth and eventually, the bounty of the wine.
The energy to facilitate this growth comes from reserves of carbohydrate stored in the roots and wood of the vine from the last growth cycle.
A thin web of cottony fibers, much like a spider's web called the tomentum, first protects buds. This shatters as leaves first start to appear, in the beautiful flowering of the bud.
Each Varietal has a different and defining appearance, with the cabernet sauvignon being radiant with color.
The buds form tiny shoots that eventually sprout tiny leaves that begin photosynthesis to produce the energy to accelerate growth into the next cycle.
Groundwater conditions in Napa Valley were broadly stable throughout 2013 however, we still need to continue the practice of conservation in our vineyards.
The groundwater levels on the Napa Valley floor show stable long-term trends with generally good quality water. As of March 10, 2014 we have received 40-50% of total rainfall for our year and those numbers could still grow in the remaining weeks. This is less rainfall than the average year, however, most of Napa County received much-needed, ground-soaking rain in February and March. Most vineyard ponds and reservoirs are now full or nearly full in time to meet irrigation needs for the 2014 growing season.
Residents, businesses and agriculture rely upon groundwater for drinking water, irrigation and the environment. These demands make it essential for us to preserve groundwater quality and availability long-term in order to meet water needs during drought and to prevent any potential negative environmental effects in the future.
We as a vineyard need to continuously monitor groundwater conditions while taking measures to utilize less water to ensure we have a stable long-term supply.
Here are 5 conservation tips from Meteor Vineyard Manager, Mike Wolf:
1. Examine your irrigation systems and make adjustments as necessary. If something's not working, fix it! Systems older than 5 years should be tested to ensure efficiency.
2. The most efficient time to irrigate a vineyard is at night. Watering during the day is a waste!
3. Know your dew points; this tool can help you effectively determine when it's necessary to irrigate.
4. Keep your cover crops in check! During a drought year, vigorous cover crops could be taking away water available for the vine. Mow then short.
5. Determine what size canopy can effectively manage with less water available. This may result in smaller, but better-balanced vines.
Data from a new study by the Napa County Groundwater Advisory Committee indicates our groundwater and aquifer resources are very healthy despite the lack of rain. This makes Napa County unique compared to other farming communities in California that face zero to small water allocations this year.
Napa's vintners and growers continue to employ the most up-to-date technology to monitor water resources; these can determine at the vineyard block and sometimes at the vine level where water is needed to help source the water we have in to the correct places.
University of California's Agriculture & Natural Resources department provides a strategy to follow for irrigation methods to minimize loss in yield during a season:
Bud break to flowering: Avoid water stress. This is critical for root growth, canopy establishment and yield for current season.
Flowering to fruit set: Avoid high water stress at flowering: poor fruit set, aborted fruit shoots still growing rapidly; maintain good soil moisture when water limiting, do not promote large canopy with early water & avoid sunburn by limiting excessive leaf removal in fruit zone.
Fruit set to veraison: Vine less susceptible to moderate water deficits, control shoot growth, reduce berry size and reduce water use without impacting fruit quality.
Veraison to harvest: Avoid severe water deficits to maintain healthy leaf function to promote barry maturation.
Harvest to leaf fall (and over winter): Some soil moisture needed to maintain leaf function to build reserves. Reserves impact cold hardiness (especially in young vines).
Grapevines can not only survive but also sometimes even thrive with limited water. While growers might face more challenges with a smaller water supply, they will use management techniques for their crop and canopies to counteract the effects of low water levels. With the correct management of the crops, the yield might be lower but the crop quality can still be high.
The 2014 Napa Valley Vintners Community and Industry Issues Committee (CIIC) will focus on local issues that directly affect the wine industry and is a great resource for questions regarding Napa Valley groundwater and irrigation.
Spokesperson from NVV said, "At the end of the day, vintners and grape growers are farmers. As no two growing years are the same, farmers must successfully adapt, harvest to harvest, season to season, year to year and have done so for nearly two centuries in Napa Valley, and for thousands of years worldwide. No matter what 2014 brings Napa Valley's vintners and growers, they will continue to adapt and change their practices to make the best quality wines under any circumstance."
The newest fascination in food around here at Meteor Vineyard is the art of cheese making. After picking up the book "Home Cheese Making" by Ricki Carroll, Owner Barry Schuler has been on a cheese expedition.
A little beginners introduction to what goes into wine making: Cheese is produced from milk due to the activity of special dairy bacteria and the action of rennet. These act on the proteins in milk, causing them to coalesce into a gel-like curd that is the beginning of cheese.
To make the cheese you bring milk to a boil, stir in vinegar causing the milk to separate into curds and whey. Then pour the curds into a colander lined with cheesecloth, rinse the curds, sprinkle with salt, tie up the cheesecloth, press a bit to remove excess whey.
Barry has been busy in the kitchen testing out recipes for different cheeses across the board. Although it may seem that several cheeses are made in the same way, there are very slight variations in the process that create the variances in taste. For example cheddar and Colby start out in a similar way however, in Colby, there is a step where water is added to the curds, causing it to be a cheese with more moisture than cheddar.
Other factors determining the outcome of a particular cheese include: the amount of culture, the amount of rennet, the rate of time at which the milk is heated, the ripening time, the length of stirring time, etc.
While playing with several variations of making cheese and different varieties, Barry has tasted the cheeses with Meteor Vineyard wines along the way. The current winner is a delicious goat cheese pictured below.
Cheese making is still in progress and yielding NO complaints from the taste testers in the Meteor Vineyard office.

Thanks. Erm, I'm afraid I don't know! I'll try to find out :)
Lovely photo but you have positioned it incorrectly. It currently lies north of the equator near Japan in the Pacific. Better get your flippers out.
Very nice photo but you have put it in the wrong place. It currently lies north of the equator in the pacific ocean near Japan. The help section will explain how to position it correctly.
And Great composition.
Nice photo!
yes, i spose it could use further explanation. actually, the name is Bhot House according to my father. it is part of an old English resort built by a man named Abbott in the early 1900s near lohaghat. my family owned much of the top of Abbott Mount from the 1950s through the early 21st century. we have since sold most of it to an Indian friend who still allows us access to it. this view is south and somewhat east towards Nepal i believe. the mountains there are beautiful, though they are vastly different than 50 years ago (no longer tigers and leopards regularly prowling around or large snakes!).
A dream - lovely!
Lovely colours, very subtle
Wonderful pattern of dark leaves in the background - really sets off the flower
Unusual composition. very nice

Good to hear from your Slappy. Already looking forward to next season. BTW I still want a standard draft.

I think you should sell high on Willingham right now. Going to be turning 34 in Feb, his value isn't going to get any higher. If you can't trade or can't pull something off, then I would drop Willingham and keep Minor.

VIDEO: Australia's Prime Minister Doesn't Hold Back As She Rips Opponent
by Mark Memmott
The background on what got Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard so angry at opposition leader Tony Abbott this week is laid out in this story from The Australian. And Australia's ABC News has a relatively short (5 minutes or so) video report here.
But if you have a little more time and want the full effect, check this 15-minute clip. Gillard does not hold back.
Correction at 8 a.m. ET, Oct. 10: We mistakenly referred to Abbott earlier as "Peter Abbot." The post has been corrected.

All the Sangha should take this chance and opportunity to receive these teachings on the Bardo. As we are human beings, we are born and then go through different ages where we are happy and unhappy, as well as doing good and bad actions. Karma, whether or not you believe in it, is infallible. But, at the time of our death our karma takes control of us. We have to face our karmic actions. As we know, we are capable of doing good but we accomplished very little good and instead, were constantly doing bad. We should expect that our experience during the time of death and afterwards we will have a lot of confusion, fear, and panic.
More than that, this life is short, but our future lives are very long. We are quite capable of doing good things because our speech, mind and body are quite highly functioning but we are completely under the control of bad habits, so we always do more bad than good. Now, however, we have the opportunity to apply a remedy while we are alive and functioning. This remedy is a good heart. It is very important because when you have a good heart, you easily create devotion to those who are pure and stainless and do good things – those we admire and respect. Also, we have sincere love and compassion to all those confused sentient beings doing bad actions. Sincerely admiring the good with love and compassion is a Mahayana topic, but in general everyone loves and admires someone else, so in a general sense devotion and compassion becomes the most basic remedy to all of these negatives. In the Vajrayana and Secret Mantrayana, the direct antidote to avoiding the difficulties of the bardo are the Bardo Teachings and a lifetime of studying and familiarizing ourselves with the practice: this is the excellent antidote.
The Bardo Teachings are now well known in the West, and there are many books you can read. Most people read just to entertain themselves, but they do not adopt it in their mind. This is not the right thing to do, as you have to have a more serious concern for the next life. These teachings are from the 8th Century Maha-tantric master, the Lotus Born Guru who composed this text and hid it in a rock as a treasure. A later emanation of Guru Rinpoche, Karma Lingpa, came as a treasure master who discovered this text for individuals to use during the dark age. The transmission of this lineage goes from Guru Rinpoche up until Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche Rangjung Kunkyab, who is the truly realized master. At the present time, the one who gives us the initiation and teachings is a disciple of His Eminence Rangjung Kunkyab. We are fortunate to be receiving the initiation and teachings from a teacher who has written a book about the bardo, Death and Dying, and who has gone through some experiences on these topics.
KDK urges everyone to pay attention to this schedule. On the First Saturday morning the initiation will be given on the Peaceful and Wrathful 100 Deities, along with explanation. Saturday afternoon and all of Sunday we will discuss what the experience is at the time of death and dying, what happens after death, and how we can apply the remedy to these different things we struggle with due to our karma. Between the teachings there will be opportunity for question and answer.
In each state of the bardo, there is very much confusion and mental difficulty that makes it hard to concentrate and focus. There is a way to avoid this problem at the time of dying and after death; during these two days, this will be discussed. We have a translated daily practice Sadhana and one can maintain and practice it so that at the time of death, you will have remedies you are familiar with and you will be ready to go when the time comes. All of this will be provided. After the initiation, you may get the sadhana from the bookstore, and during the teachings we will receive an explanation of the sadhana and different stages of the bardo. Please be welcome to come, but prior to the first day you should already have had refuge and taken the bodhisattva vow, those are important. We don't want anyone to return who is not seriously participating and putting this into practice.

This is a felted tapestry that was needle felted on silk and then wet felted. The landscape is right near my house and my children and I take our walks down this little tractor road. I liked the shadows and the fall hues and tried to make the image bright and rich in color. We picked bowls and bowls of luscious blackberries and baskets of walnuts from the bushes and trees beyond the two trees in the middle of the picture, this fall. This is the road to Switzerland as well. You can walk another half a mile and suddenly you pass into Rodersdorf, Switzerland. Sometimes we have had to walk from the tram in Switzerland to our house in France along this tiny route with corn on one side and fields of wheat on the other and horse riders as well as the occasional dog walker. One never knows if one should say "bonjour" or "Grutzi".

Lovely, I love the shaddows and the texture of it all.
look forward to seeing it in real life.

Remembering when: What's your fondest memory of old Highway 90?
by Lynn Lofton
Published: May 7,2007
There are lots of fond memories of the Coast's Highway 90: family vacations, playing on the beach, eating at a favorite restaurant, cruising and checking out the sights. It used to be a patchwork of old and new, beautiful homes, small cottages, churches, mom & pop restaurants and motels along with national chain businesses.
The landscape changed over the years with some of the familiar — such as the Alamo Motel — giving way to new construction. Beginning in 1992, casinos ushered in a different era with floating gaming barges and high-rise hotels. With the dawning of the 21st Century, condominiums became a part of the scene, and after Katrina they're proliferating. The storm's destruction ensures that the popular old highway will never be the same.
We asked a few people to take a nostalgic look back at the Highway 90 of the past. In their own words:
Elaine Stevens, Public Relations Manager, IP Casino, Biloxi
"Of course, my memories revolve around my second home and the sign on Highway 90 which pointed to it: The Gus Stevens Restaurant sign, that gigantic neon fish and one of dad's dearest treasures. The sign represented a landmark of entertainment and good food for the Coast.
"It was also my escape. The sign was the shining star that pointed me in the direction of another universe, away from school and structure into a fantasy world of floor shows which lived 24/7 far beyond my childish chores of homework assignments.
"My short-lived attention span was often quickly drawn to the other wonders of Highway 90 as I gazed from the restaurant windows at the old Biloxi amusement park and Goofy Golf. They tugged at my whimsy forcing me to go begging for bucks so we could cross 90, very carefully, in order to play a few rounds or take a spin on the merry go round, or even buy a balloon from dear Mr. Brady, Biloxi's original balloon man and the main attraction of many birthday parties.
"But the lasting memory of Highway 90 was — is — always the white sand beach, the sparkling waters of the sound and the eternally nostalgic smell that emanates from its fickle shore."
Mayor Brent Warr, City of Gulfport
"I most fondly recall fishing, with the gulf in front of me and the beautiful oaks and gorgeous southern homes at my back. But I don't believe it's gone forever. In fact, thanks to the near-shore fishing reefs that we are creating in Gulfport's near-shore waters, I look forward to doing this again with my children in a few years.
"I also remember the medians of Highway 90 covered in crimson clover. When the wind blew over it, it was incredibly beautiful."
Betty Ruth Hawkins, Marketing
and Communications Director, Mississippi Nurses' Association
"For years, people I knew kept telling me I needed to move to the Coast. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why — not until I moved there.
"There is something magical about living south of Highway 90. It is where the United States ends. It is like being on vacation all the time. Highway 90 held some of the finest home-grown eateries — The Coral Café with the best croutons, fried pickles and collection of the best fed outside stray cats. Nick's House of Catfish had the coldest beer.
"There were mysterious places like the Texas Hotel and the Travel Rest Motor Lodge. People went in but I never saw anyone leave."
Connie Rockco, District
Five Supervisor, Harrison County
"I miss the Olive Garden Restaurant at the corner of Highway 90 and DeBuys Road. It was a great place to have lunch with girl friends, and I loved their soup, salad and breadsticks special."

March 5, 2008
Albany -- When Mary Mathis' ten-year-old son got home from school about 3:45 Tuesday, he saw a strange man inside. The burglar had piled up the television, Playstation, and other electronics to steal.
The ten year old decided to take matters into his own hands, grabbed a baseball bat and attacked the burglar. He said the man tried to pull a gun from inside his pants, but it go stuck, so the ten year old took another swing with the bat.
The would-be burglar apparently had enough and ran away. The youngster still has his Playstation. No arrests were made.

Monetary Policy and Public Finances: Inflation Targets in a New Perspective
AbstractThis paper examines how the private sector, the monetary authority, and the fiscal authority interact and concludes that unrestricted central bank independence may not be an optimal way to collect seigniorage revenues or stabilize supply shocks. Moreover, the paper shows that the implementation of an optimal inflation target results in optimal shares of government finances--seigniorage, taxes, and the spending shortfall--from society's point of view but still involves suboptimal stabilization. Even if price stability is the sole central bank objective, a positive inflation target has important implications for the government's finances, as well as for stabilization.

More than 500 bras were collected recently during a local campaign to assist victims of sexual assault, according to a news release from Southwest Healthcare System.
One may ask how collecting bras could help sexual assault victims. Well, victims are typically asked to hand over clothing during forensic exams. That's because crime investigators say bras are a common place where evidence is found.
In an effort to provide replacement clothing to victims free of charge, Southwest Healthcare System joined CASA (Center Against Sexual Assault), Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center, Riverside County Regional Medical Center and Circle of SAFE-T in this campaign, the release stated. Bras were collected at various drop sites throughout the county.
Southwest Healthcare System operates Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta and Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar.
Officials say it is crucial to assist victims of this horrible crime.
"Victims face very real dangers and express concerns about disclosing the events that occurred, especially when they are related to domestic violence," said Nicole Yadon, registered nurse and Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) coordinator at Rancho Springs.

Wasted on the Young
Sandra Hall AS SCHOOL bullies go, Zack is a deluxe model: handsome and popular with rich, indulgent parents and a politician's gift for delegation.
I saw this movie at an advance screening this week and had no idea what to expect. When the movie finished there was a massive applause for the director and one of the main cast members who were in the audience.
I really enjoyed the film and although some of my friends touted it as 'very unrealistic' I believe that it drove a message home about a very prevalent issue happening in schools around the world.
Although I somehat agree with them that it was an extreme depiction of the effects of bullying, I think the messages that the movie sends is extremely important.

An astonishing thing happened recently at our little school. Five teachers, including the principal came by and asked if we might send our volunteer English teachers over to the community school once a day, during the teachers lunch hour, to teach them all English. This was a landmark moment. We've kept a bit of distance between ourselves and local school the past two years due to bitter political infighting on the school management committee that we wanted to stay totally out of. It's crazy, I know, that such infighting over politics takes place at a grade school, but this is Nepal and all things are political here. At the same time we kept distance, we let it be known that whenever the management of the school was ready to put a stop to the fighting, we were ready to cooperate and help. Things seem to be cooling off and moving in a better direction now so all the teachers are keen to have us teach them English. One or two can speak a small amount of very broken English. It's critical these teachers learn though as the statistics for their students are horrid. Out of every 100 children enrolled in a rural school like this, 50 will leave school at the end of the 5th grade, which is the highest class in this village. For the 50 who do leave, we have to get them all the education and skills we possibly can while they are still in school as it may well represent the extent of thier life's education. If we can improve the school, we can hope to retain more students as well. Out of 100 who enroll, only 3 will make it all the way to the 10th grade. At the end of the 10th grade there's a huge, final exam required to get a School Leaving Certificate, which is the same as high school graduation. Without that certificate, which is sometimes called the "Iron Gate", there's no future for jobs. Rural schools like this typically pass just 28% of the students in the SLC exams.
The same teachers, just one week after starting English classes showed up in our brand new electronic classroom asking to learn how to use computers too. So now we have two sessions with them each day, one for English and one for computers. This could be a huge turning point for the village and the school.
The Breakfast Club at Her Farm doesn't star Judd Nelson or Molly Ringwald and certainly isn't about a bunch of kids spending time in detention, though I admit that was a good movie in its time. In the village of Mankhu, The Breakfast Club is quite different. We have students who come early, hours before their regular school time just to study English. The regular school in the village starts at 10am, but these students show up as early as 7am for English classes as they are that eager to learn. Many of them don't have enough food at home, or they arrive at Her Farm so early, we were concerned about them getting a good breakfast so they'd have the energy to study all day as we know a great many of them will not have any lunch. Unlike our western schools, there isn't a lunch program at the village school in Mankhu. Students must pack a lunch, which they call tiffin, and we see very few children with lunch packed for school. So, we began the breakfast club. At 7am we have a good hot breakfast ready at Her Farm and all the children who have come for lessons first enjoy a good meal, then attend English class. We know we've given them a good start for the day and served up a hearty meal that will hold them throughout the day. Attendance has gone up for classes as a result, especially amongst the girls. In many Nepali families, the men and boys eat first, the women next and last to eat are the girls. That means for many of the young girls it's slim pickens for breakfast and we think that's one reason so many young girls are joining the breakfast club at Her Farm.

Now, does anyone actually believe the LAFCO financial studies related to AIM's Town of Alamo. AIM's beloved model is the Town of Danville and that government is concerned about its sources of funds.
We wish Danville well with their financial resolve, but our regional residents intend to learn from this experience that challenges the LAFCO Study results.
Prior to September 18, let's respect the Danville Town Council and allow them to explain this issue with sources of funds.
Grace, as once again,

New GefenTV Extender for HDMI Offers Cost-Effective Pricing for Shorter Runs using HDBaseT Technology
Digital connectivity solutions provider Gefen today announced the shipping of its new HDBaseT Extender for HDMI over CAT-5 cable, priced under $500 (US). It delivers HDMI at full resolution 1080p full HD without any compression up to 230 feet (70m) in distance.
âIn exchange for a slightly shorter range of extension, you can save some money on signal extension while retaining a very high quality HDMI delivery,â explained Hagai Gefen, president and CEO, Gefen. âThe shorter range GefenTV Extender for HDMI over CAT-5 provides a viable alternative to other longer distance, more expensive extension solutions.â
One CAT-5 cable is used to send HDMI along with multi-channel audio including DTS-Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. 3DTV content is supported when combined with a 3D-ready source and display. The GefenTV Extender for HDMI uses compact desktop or wall mountable sender and receiver units. It comes with mounting plates and locking power supplies to assist with an easy installation.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is a great route with a couple powerful sequences. Start in a hard lieback past a bolt and then a dicey mantle. Climb up into an undercling crack with gear and then a powerful section past a fixed Lost Arrow. Then another tricky section past a bolt on a bulge then climb over more bulges with okay gear to the top. A great line with some great climbing!
On the far right side of the Decadent wall, it takes a central line over the roofs and bulges.
Quickdraws, long slings and a set of cams to a #2 camalot. Maybe some nuts.
