While reading Sybil Schaefer's interview "We're All Digital Archivists Now," I was happy to see the following comment "we don't all need to be digital archivists, but we do need to be archivists who work with digital materials. It's not scalable to have one person, or one team, focus on the 'digital stuff.'"
I heartily agree with her statement. Since our involvement in the AIMS project, we have required that project archivists process both the analog and digital portions of a collection. And yet, it is apparent that there is a very important role for a digital archivist. Someone who will keep up with new tools and automated processing methods, be on hand to train these project archivists, support acquisition (curators, subject specialists, donors) and explore and assist with our efforts across a wide spectrum of new projects.
If you are interested in some of the details regarding the activities and functions of SUL's digital archivist, please read Peter Chan's recent article - "What Does it Take to Be a Well-rounded Digital Archivist?"

- 17th Wedding AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/1/2014We chose to celebrate our 17th Wedding Anniversary at Roberts and what a fantastic decision that was. We were a little late because of a parking catastrophe by the Valet staff. However, Robert's staff accomodated us and made us feel very special. The food was fantastic. The service was impeccable. I would recommend this restaurant highly for celebrating any special occasion or just having a nice date night out. Beautiful decor and very friendly staff.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014We were at the hotel for a wedding and enjoyed several delicious meals at Roberts. The staff was particularly attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/19/2014disappointing but conveniently located in our hotel
- Nothing ExcitingTommyVIPDined on 8/24/2014Roberts was not my idea of a great night out. The service was okay but there was a very limited menu. The food was good but lacked the fine dining quality. For a hotel dining experience it will serve best at breakfast and lunch. I would dine at dinner elsewhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 146 reviews are from the Roberts Restaurant at the Omni Shoreham reviews archive.
- 2 breakfasts & 2 dinnersNickDined on 7/23/2014Breakfast buffet was very good. The coffee was excellent, plentiful. The smoked salmon was terrific. All other items very good. At dinner scallops were excellent quality, although on 2 nights they were a tad sandy. Breakfast buffet above expectations. Coffee excellent & plentiful. Smoked salmon high quality. All else, good to very good. Nicely laid out. Good service. Dinner two nights in a row: scallops delicious, although a tad sandy. Salad nice. Waiter, not as good.Special Features:
- Can't wait to do it Again!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/12/2014Robert's is an absolute delight! The Dining Room is absolutely gorgeous and the food was terrific - both evening dinner and breakfast buffet (completely gourmet and "cook to order". Hats off to the whole experience.Special Features:
- The A/C Wasn't WorkingPamperedGuestDined on 7/3/2014The reputation, service and food is really impeccable. However, when the indoor portion of the restaurant is as hot as it is outside...the experience is diminished.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great atmosphere and good foodMotagsDined on 6/18/2014Roberts is a favorite for breakfast and brunch. Dinner is also very good. Their prices above average but along with that comes the quaint environment, the quality of food and good service which is worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Nice, beautiful settingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/12/2014we were very pleased by the food ,by the setting and by the serviceSpecial Features:
- Beautiful Dinning Room Food AverageBailey123Dined on 5/16/2014This is the hotel dinning room. It is very elegant and beautiful with lots of glass and windows. We chose this because we were in town for a graduation and staying at the hotel. The food choices on the menu were rather limited and they were out of the meatloaf that my husband most wanted. My husband had the pasta crab dish, my daughter the baked chicken, I had a salad. All were average...noting of note. The service was good. We had a drink in the hotel bar before dinner....I would recommend it! The bar also serves food, which if we returned we would try. Very good service in the bar and nice atmosphere.Special Features:
- Wonderful,ESfromDCDined on 5/11/2014I took a friend out for his birthday on the Sunday evening, Mother's Day, and I was worried that service would be poor because of the day. To the contrary, everything was very well done. I have been to this restaurant in the past for lunch and dinner, and once for a Thanksgiving menu. I have never been disappointed. Roberts consistently presents great menu choices, good service, excellent food, nice presentation, and fantastic ambience. It's a simple and quiet restaurant. The vaulted ceilings and massive chandeliers in the dining room create an old Europe experience. But the ambience is far from stuffy. The the outdoor tables, on the terrace, and on the patio, overlook a beautiful formal garden. Roberts is worth a special trip.Special Features:
- Convenient, good food1kidfamilyDined on 4/20/2014My family and I travel to DC every year and have quickly discovered that it can be difficult finding good restaurants in the Woodley Park area. We ate here for Breakfast: the buffet, while pricey, was a great choice. There is a great variety and you can eat until you are sure it will hold you over for an early dinner. The food is fresh and delicious. I particularly LOVED the crab eggs benedict. Dinner: We've learned what to avoid (crab mac n cheese) and what to enjoy (shrimp caesar salad, meatloaf, salmon). The service is excellent if you go on the weekend when it is busier, but can be slow on weekdays. The most recent visit we also ordered appetizers: onion soup which was served warm not hot, and the scallop appetizer that was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten free!dineoutoftenDined on 4/20/2014We had a lovely Easter Brunch last Sunday. We especially appreciated the excellent gluten-free crab cakes since we are gluten free. Thanks! We also appreciated the way several staff members constantly checked on us. Outstanding service! We went to the Omni Shoreham for brunch a couple of months ago and was very impressed that they had a gluten-free section for their brunch. That's why we decided to go there for Easter Brunch and will return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CapitolBrendaOntheGoVIPDined on 4/6/2014Nice restaurant for business breakfasts and lunches. Food is nice, private areas, and quick services.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Its an average place to eatEatsoutalotDined on 3/27/2014Food and service was good i had expected more from an omni but it is convenient and decent.Special Features:
- Don't hesitate to ask for serviceGlnivenVIPDined on 3/22/2014We had dinner there and would have had a bad experience had the hostess not stepped in to take our order, get our drinks and just make us feel welcome! Kudos to her after we asked her to help us in the absence of our server. Told they had been slammed (while we saw maybe 10 tables occupied), our hostess stepped in gracefully till our server stepped in, professionally, like a team player. We had a couple orders of beet carpaccio (3 kinds of beets done three ways), scallops that were perfect and delicious chicken pot pies. Food was good and menu is really varied and well prepared and plated. Oh, we were there to catch up and the noise level was low and intimate. Totally conducive to talking!Special Features:
- Excellent food, but a bit stuffylmichelleDined on 3/5/2014I was here for a business dinner, for which this is an excellent choice - I wouldn't go there for a social night out though as it is rather stuffy. They had a Washington State themed menu, from which I ordered Cider Braised Beef which was absolutely beautiful. I also had Scallops as an appetizer, which were great. One of my colleagues mentioned a problem with the service - he didn't receive his salad despite asking about it a few times. Then the waiter apologized and offered free dessert, but didn't bring that either. My personal experience was that the service was unremarkable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty good for a hotel restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 2/27/2014Pretty good for a hotel restaurant gets very busy a lunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely mealbdbroonzyDined on 2/22/2014The restaurant was extremely quiet for a Saturday night, which made me wonder whether other reviews had led us astray. But everything was quite good. The crab mac n' cheese, stuffed meatloaf, and three beet salad were outstanding. The crab cakes could have used a bit less filler and a bit more seasoning but that is a minor quibble. The service was attentive and friendly. The room is just beautiful. We were at the end of an exhausting convention week and this dinner was exactly what we needed.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected better food for the pricedcarearesidentDined on 2/14/2014I expected better food for the price. I went on V-day, paid $140 for my date and I and was unfortunately underwhelmed with the food.
- Good business lunchJanetDined on 1/14/2014We have lunch at the Roberts Restaurant during a huge convention at the Shoreham. I was smart enough to make reservations and the place was packed. The staff was very responsive and professional. The food was good. It took a while to arrive, which was fine with us because we had business to discuss anyway. The staff was very patient and didn't try to hurry us up. It worked out very well. So, bottom line, good option during a conference but make reservations and don't be in a hurry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sets a standard for hotel dining.anonDined on 1/13/2014The food and service is reliably good, prices are fair, and ambiance pleasing. Low noise levels permit conversation.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always perfect for businessMaryDined on 1/13/2014Excellent attentive service without being intrusive means a first class venue for a business discussion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant hotel dining at the OmnicnalscVIPDined on 1/5/2014We ate at Roberts the last night of our stay at the Omni. It's an open restaurant visisble from the hotel lobby and is well appointed. During our stay, it did a brisk breakfast/brunch/lunch business owing to meetings being held in the hotel. (The omelette station looked fantastic.) By the time of our dinner on Sunday night, it was deserted. As a result, service was slow, if pleasant. We had salads and hamburgers with all the fixings. The menu covers the basics; the wine list has some interesting selections. We assume the view in the summer is gorgeous, since the restaurant looks out over Rock Creek Park. If you're staying at the Omni and need a convenient location for a meal, this is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and AtmosphereTdubyuDined on 12/31/2013Excellent food and and wine selection. Lovee the Crab cakes and the ambiance was the best.Special Features:
- GreatOut4theniteDined on 12/31/2013Do not let the fact that this restaurant being in a hotel stop you. The chef was great our waiter was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Christmas DinnerAnneJohnDined on 12/25/2013This is the place to go for a five star, sumptuous dinner in a palatial, marvelously decorated dining room. The chairs were plush and relaxing and there was so much space between tables the experience almost seemed private. There were only three four-course offerings to choose from: a wonderful on-the-bone beef tenderloin, a delicious shrimp dish, and a vegetarian dish, each with interesting sides. The butternut squash soup was a scrumptious starter, followed by a salad, the entree, and dessert, plus beverages, all for $61.00 per person. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and all our questions and needs were dealt with to our complete satisfaction. We highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a lovely dinner hereOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 12/24/2013We had a lovely dinner here on Christmas Eve. The food was marvelous, the service appropriately attentive, the room beautifully decorated and we could actually have a conversation over dinner. I can't wait to return.Special Features:
- Nice hotel restaurantQBillVIPDined on 11/28/2013This is a very nice place. We had the Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner, which was excellent. We wouldn't go to this restaurant except for a special occasion because it is so very, very expensive. Service was a little slow at times, but mostly good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Comfort mealDrJaDined on 11/21/2013I ordered the meatloaf entree. It was well-cooked, tasty, and "comforting." The server, Mary, was attentive without being obtrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flawless fillet mignon withOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/31/2013Flawless fillet mignon with bernaise sauce. Delicious vidalia onion bisque with lump crab. We were guests at the hotel, ate at many other local restaurants during our stay, but there was no need to go out at all. This one was the best of the lot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top Notch Hotel ResaurantSCTravelerDined on 10/30/2013Very good hotel restraunt. Not a lot of atmosphere but everything was excellent, excellent seafood. Great first night restaurant when to not want to hassle with going out. Stafff very attentive and very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a pleasant surpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/25/2013Came here for a restaurant week lunch. While the food was good and the staff friendly and accommodating, I would say the most pleasant surprise was the ambience. Eating at the terrace felt like we were in an English garden. Quite unexpected if you were just passing by and looking at the front of the hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The service is very slow andKennyVIPDined on 7/30/2013The service is very slow and the staff ignore you.Special Features:
- Go for the patioOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/23/2013Roberts is special. Eating on the patio is terrific when it is not too hot or humid. The menu has changed and declined a bit since I was there last time. Service continues to be outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor Service on Mother's DayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/12/2013Four of us went on a 3-hour sailing excursion on Mother's Day, so we were dressed in casual clothes (jeans, etc.). We got there 10 minutes before our reservation at 5:00 and we were the only occupied table. 10 minutes later a group of 3 well dressed people came into the restaurant. Our waitress spent all her time chatting with the well dressed group and ignored our table. We waited 10 minutes after we finished our meal (food quality was excellent) before she came to check on us, and we had to ask for dessert menus. She then disappeared again and we had to wait for her to take our dessert order. We had to wait another 10 minutes after we finished dessert before she checked on us again and we could get our check. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!
- Great Dinner and BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/10/2013Beautiful and unique historical setting. Attentive, helpful service. Exceptional options for our celiac daughter who must eat gluten free. Great walk in the gardens after dinner. Will return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday Brunch OK, Not GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/5/2013We usually stay at the Omni Shoreham when we visit our daughter in D.C. This time, the hotel was full but we returnrd to Roberts for their Sunday brunch. We were disappointed this time as it seemed that nobody was in charge and the various dishes were low to empty, even after we asked them to replenish. The room is magnificent and our waiter was great, until he disappeared when we were ready to leave. I do not know if I'll go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We loved everything aboutjlouDined on 5/2/2013We loved everything about it, especially the outstanding service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant Experience1foodieDined on 5/2/2013We were staying at the Omni Hotel while attending a meeting. We ate dinner at Robert's which is located in the lobby of the hotel. We both ordered the seafood of the day which was red snapper and it was excellent. We also ordered one of the salads on the menu and it was fresh and delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We would definitely eat there again if we return for a visit and are staying at that particular hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Leadership Styles
The president of a genealogical society not only influences policy for a term of office, but sets the psychological tone for the society as well. This tone is defined by the style of leadership adopted by the president. This paper will examine various leadership styles recognizing that few people adopt one style to the exclusion of all others. Most leaders vary and combine several aspects of leadership styles depending on the problems faced by the society, the personality of the existing governing board, and the policies already developed by the organization.
Past experiences and psychological make-up do influence the style adopted by the president. Research in formal organizational structures, however, suggest that leaders can indeed change their style. Change requires flexibility, courage and energy, but it can be done. As you examine the five leadership styles discussed below, think about the leadership methods you have developed. Evaluate if a change in your style might benefit you and your organizaiton. task oriented leader.
These individuals determine goals, concentrate on the job that needs to be done and motivate people to help. If some members interfere or attempt to provoke conflict, these leaders are able to move forward without becoming unduly concerned. They focus on the responsibility at hand and ignore the distractions. These presidents feel comfortable in making most needed decisions and after deciding, can easily convince others to support them. These leaders have confidence in their own abilities and are secure in their position. They often accomplish a great deal. However, their methods can result in others feeling excluded and even resentful.
The Board of the 'We All Have Roots Genealogical Society feels that communication among members should be improved. President Let's-Do-It agrees. She collects samples of other society's newsletters, develops on her home computer a prototype of a newsletter for the We All Have Roots Society, obtains bids from several printing companies, and then presents her newsletter proposal at the next Board meeting.
Charismatic/Authoritarian Leader
This leader presents new ideas, then invites questions and discussion from the Board and membership. The final decision, however, is made by the President and then sold to members, sometimes on a one-to-one basis. These leaders delegate well and have the ability to persuade others to work hard toward the agreed upon goals. This type of leader tends to be personal with praise and with criticism. These leaders show concern with individual member's feelings and work well with others on an individual basis.
The Blue River Genealogical Society needs to select an editor for their new quarterly, "Damp Times." Two qualified candidates are available. President Peacock acquaints the Board with the job qualifications and provides biographical sketches of each of those interested in the position. President Peacock feels that Susie Smith would do a better job. After the Board meeting, President Peacock separately telephones his Vice-president and Treasurer, both strong personalities. He tells each how much he values their opinions and asks how they feel about Susie Smith as quarterly editor. Within a few minutes, President Peacock has contributed why he feels Susie Smith is such an asset to the Society. The other officers agree she has much to offer and each could support her appointment as Editor. President Peacock states he greatly appreciates their help and believes the Society is stronger for each of their contributions. At the next meeting, President Peacock appoints Susie Smith the "Damp Times" Editor.
Democratic Leader
The president with this approach seeks to obtain cooperation of members and encourages participation in decision making. Communication is very important to this type of leader and open discussion is encouraged. These leaders present several ideas, encourage new ones from members and then ask the group to make the decision. Most members respond well to this style of leadership and report satisfaction with the job done as long as the leader does not relinquish ultimate responsibility.
The End of the Earth Genealogical Society is planning a fall conference. They would like to have a syllabus available for attendees. President Washington appointed a committee to investigate alternatives to production and printing. After the committee reports at the Board meeting, President Washington is careful to review the positives and negatives of each alternative. After considerable discussion, Valerie Vocal expresses her strong feelings that the group should use Plan A. However, President Washington is aware that Calvin Quiet has prior experience in the publishing field. The leader briefly tells the group of Calvin's qualifications and asks if Calvin has an opinion as to which plan the group should adopt. After Calvin explains why he supports Plan B, several other Board members expressed agreement. Valerie continues to advocate Plan A. President Washington asks that the committee again review Plan A and Plan B suggesting there might be a way to combine the best aspects of both plans. The president asks the committee to further investigate each proposal, weigh the points raised at this meeting, returning to the next meeting with a recommendation. Two weeks later, the committee returns suggesting a modified Plan B. They carefully explain their reasons and note the individual consulted. The Board votes unanimously for Plan B.
This form of leadership has the disadvantage, however, of becoming time-consuming and sometimes decreasing actual productivity. Considerable time is taken in reaching the original consensus. In the interests of pleasing everyone, decisions can be weakened. Although most of us believe strongly in the democratic process and we should like to be this type of leader, this is not the leader you want in a crisis.
Process-Oriented Leader
This leader's ultimate concern is member satisfaction. She has a deep interest in people's feelings and is sensitive to the importance of social interaction. This leader recognizes that a genealogical society performs an important social outlet for many of its members. It is important that people feel good about the society and other members to the greatest extent possible. This person tries to see that members are recognized and praised for activities both personally and publicly.
Members are encouraged to participate in board meetings. Organizations who elect presidents with this style may have large councils or board representing a large proportion of the membership. The President serves in the rold of facilitator.
She encourages members to bring up problems for discussion. This type of leader is more part of the group than head of the group. The human element is more important to this leader than the achievement of objectives. This type of executive is usually well-liked and member satisfaction with this person may be quite high. Usually another leader will emerge, however, who is more task oriented and will steer the discussion to goals and/or problems. If these two people work well together, much can be accomplished.
President Positive feels that the hardworking society volunteers should be recognized. She discusses a social event with the Hospitality Committee. She encourages the committee to involve as many society members as possible in both planning and presenting the affair. She devises buttons which display the number "30." At the social event, the president presents a button to each of those members who have contributed thirty or more volunteer hours to the society during the past year. President Positive explains that each of these individuals has contributed not only to the growth of the society, but to the good feelings members enjoy as well. After the affair, President Positive sends a list of those who received buttons to the local newspaper.
Laissez Faire Leader
This President, with minimum personal participation. allows the group complete freedom in determining goals and decisions. This leader may supply various materials for group discussion or gather data requested by the members. He takes no part in the discussion, however, and does not try to steer the members in any specific way. This leader makes minimal contribution to the discussion unless questioned. He makes no attempt to regulate or supervise the organization or its decisions.
This type of management encourages independence and self-reliance in society members. It forces individuals to become associates in the group and to get involved in the problem solving process.
Several board members of the Finding Families Genealogical Society approach President Laid-back suggesting that the society help the Many Books Public Library raise funds to pay for a subscription to a new genealogical database subscription for use by patrons. At the next meeting, President Laid-back offers the idea and provides the cost of the census. He asks the group if they want to adopt this project. He invites them to think about ways in which the Society could raise the necessary funds. Discussion begins.
A major disadvantage of this style is that without a strong leader, the group may have no direction or control. Strong personalities, who were not elected, may attempt to gain control and cause dissension within the society. Other members may become frustrated and the society may evolve into chaos.
It becomes apparent these are not five separate styles. Most people use a combination of techniques depending on their society, its history and written policies, the values and personality of the leader, and the confidence the members have in their president. Leadership styles may change depending on the goals and structure of the society as well as the challenges it faces. The democratic process may work best when the society is deciding how to raise funds or whether to publish the county marriage records. On the other hand, if the company who was printing the conference syllabus has an equipment breakdown three days before the event, the society needs an authoritarian leader who can quickly make decisions.
Good leaders recognize both the positive and negative factors inherent in each leadership style. However, the most effective leaders are ones who consider various leadership methods, know themselves well and then deliberately choose a style to fit the situation.

When LeiD Tapa was released by TNA back in March, there were rumors that she might be a candidate to join the WWE developmental program. However, the company has shown very little interest thus far. In fact, she has not even been invited for a tryout yet. While some are citing her lack of experience, which she is trying to fix by working with OVW, many are pointing out that WWE has had no qualms with signing female performers who have absolutely no experience in the wrestling industry before.
July 8, 2014
Proving that she is far from done with the professional wrestling business, LeiD Tapa immediately has gone back to work after receiving her release from TNA. The former Knockout is back in OVW, where she is receiving further training and experience. Many within the company are praising her for the determination that she is showing.
March 26, 2014
Some further details have been revealed on the release of LeiD Tapa from TNA. Management is said to be disappointed that she did not improve her skills enough during her time with the company. There are also rumors backstage that she was a "ticking time bomb", but LeiD has denied being a problem performer on her Twitter account.
March 24, 2014
It looks like LeiD Tapa is done with TNA. Her match against Gail Kim on Impact Wrestling this week was her final appearance for the company. Both sides decided to part ways, as the company was not pushing her and she was unable to connect with the audience. She thanked the company through her Twitter account.
March 21, 2014
In a very impressive match at TNA Lockdown 2014, Madison Rayne was able to retain the Knockouts Championship against Gail Kim, even though LeiD Tapa attempted to interfere. A flying spear from the top rope enabled the champion to get the pin fall victory.
March 9, 2014
TNA has been promoting a Battle of the Knockouts for the upcoming episode of Impact Wrestling. It's a six woman tag team match featuring newcomer Alpha Female, LeiD Tapa and Gail Kim on one team, while the other team is comprised of Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky and ODB. It is designed to promote the feud between Madison and Gail.
March 4, 2014
This rather interesting picture surfaced on Twitter this week. It's Alpha Female, who signed a contract with TNA while they were on the European tour, and LeiD Tapa carrying Al Snow, a backstage agent for Impact Wrestling.
February 8, 2014
On Impact Wrestling last night, Madison Rayne made her return to TNA, where the former Knockouts Champion saved ODB from an attack by Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. Rayne had taken some time away from the company to have a child.

Hello, I hope you can help? . . .
I recently bought a Canon 550D with the standard kit lens (18-55mm). I took the camera out for some considered shots and was very disappointed in the resulting images that were reproduced. I'm still working on the camera to get the best out of it but this is besides the point.
However, I noticed that the resulting images I work with are best viewed in Microsofts 'Paint' application. This application has been around for year and years and is very basic but for whatever reason, it shows up the images from my camera in faithful detail.
The point of my query is that I want to put my images in a slide show and yet retain the detail which 'Paint' gives to individual frames, so to speak. I noticed the closest image slideshow viewer, which approaches 'Paint', is from ACDSee but Microsoft's Paint has the edge when it comes to individual frames. Alas I cant show the images as a slideshow with 'Paint', hence this request for help from the Forum!
If anyone can help, then I should be very grateful.

1990 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan
"In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage."

1990 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve
"The generously endowed, dark purple-colored 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is a rich, opulent, full-bodied wine loaded with layers of flavor, copious amounts of juicy fruit, sweet tannin, and moderate amounts of lavish oak. Less muscular and concentrated than the 1991, it is a superb expression of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." Reviewed by Robert Parker October 1994.

When Zan Garris Raymond found out "Antiques Roadshow" was taping in Atlanta, Ga., she gathered several pieces from her collection of Catawba Indian pottery and set out with her husband for the series taping.
"I've always been a fan of 'Roadshow,'" Raymond said. "It was a fun experience. I had no clue if I'd be on TV."
PAGELAND – Every Thursday night in June the lights went up on Watermelon Idol, Pageland's annual music competition. Present each night of the event was Emily Moody, 18, of Lancaster.
Moody is the daughter of Melanie Vaughn and Fred Moody Jr. and began competing in pageants as a young girl, before taking time off.
"At one point I was just like I don't want to do this anymore, so I stopped and just restarted in the last year," Moody said.
The Lancaster Dream Team received their own sponsored car from Lancaster Motor Speedway.

The Carolinas Literacy Network's (CLN) goal is to provide the Lancaster community with different resources to promote literacy in all of its forms.
One way it does that is with the Second Glance, Second Chance book exchange, a bookstore that lets readers come and select books to read and keep for free.
The program started in November 2009, and has more than 9,000 books to choose from.
From mystery to history, and biography to romance, there is something for everyone.
Retired teachers and staff members from Erwin Elementary School met on Sunday, June 23, at the Wagon Wheel to reconnect, share memories, renew old friendships, catch up on each other's lives, laugh and brag on grandchildren.
Based on the response, It was decided to make this event an annual reunion.
Many of these teachers helped open Erwin Elementary in 1975.
The group represents more than 800 years combined years of teaching and guiding children in Lancaster County.

It doesn't get more American than a homemade pie. The combination of a flaky crust and fruity filling topped with a cold scoop of ice cream just can't be beat, especially when enjoyed outdoors after a backyard cookout.
And if you're going to have pie, you might as well go whole hog! This Deep Dish Cherry Pie is out of this world! Simplified with three kinds of canned cherries it's the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

This small television reminded me of my childhood and I thought would allow my son to use it alone, unfortunately the thing which you turn to wind it up is incredibly stiff (even I struggle with it) so every time it ends (it only lasts at most one minute) it is thrown at me to wind it up again. I wouldn't buy this again.
Lots of fun, my two boys love it. Good sturdy product. Great value too.

Until you are hit capped, hit is a very good stat for threat. I would say STR and BV are better, but hit is a solid 3rd. Expertise is 4th until you start to get close to the block value cap for ShoR (probably won't happen in progression tanking gear), where it becomes 3rd. Hit will actually surpass both STR and BV once you are capped for the BV portion of ShoR. You should take a look at some of Theck's plots. They are pretty informative.
Also remember that hit scales almost exponentially with level difference. An example of this would be that level 82 mobs only require around 6% spell hit to cap, while level 83 mobs (boss mobs included) require 17% spell hit. Melee hit is a bit more relaxed, but still jumps between level 82 and level 83 mobs. You will most likely not miss often on trash but can on boss mobs more than your think due to low hit.
That said, I wouldn't stack hit/expertise, but discounting them can be as big of a mistake. Each stat has its place.

The Clarinet in Concert
CDD22017 2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)
Movement 1: Allegro agitato
Movement 2: Allegretto
Movement 3: Allegro agitato
Mendelssohnian influence is not hard to detect in this Konzertstück, alongside snatches of Weber and Schubert. The work is skilfully scored for large orchestra, including trombones. It opens in the minor in serious, even ominous, mood. The second subject brings relief with a switch to the major and the opportunity for lyricism. Heinze shows little enthusiasm for developing his material, preferring instead to enrich the work with new tunes before bringing in the recapitulation. The soloist is then allowed to interrupt proceedings with an extended cadenza (there had been several earlier attempts to do so) and the work ends triumphantly.
