I'm gonna name you Rizzo but that still doesn't make us best friends.
In case you don't know what's going on, start this story from the beginning!
"And you're not nearly big enough to wear the goggles."
"But thank you for the quick seam job, it turns out being homeless is quite cold, so I wasn't thinking when I ripped my pant leg off."
Well, this escalated quickly.
Hey! Make other stuff! You can do it!

Rucker Mausoleum
50,000 men, women, and children are
buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Their
stories and lives are a vital part of
our colorful heritage and history. A
victim of the November 5, 1916, Everett
Massacre and several victims of the
March 1, 1910, Wellington Avalanche
Disaster are among those buried in
Evergreen Cemetery. Thousands of regular
citizens—teachers, photographers, saloon
owners, doctors, bankers—who made
valuable contributions to the Everett
community are also buried in this
cemetery. Many individuals interred in
Evergreen Cemetery connect Everett to
national news and events: approximately
150 veterans of the American Civil War,
four governors (from Washington,
Minnesota, and the Dakota Territories),
two United States Senators, and the
great-great-great grandmother of
President Barack Obama.
Podcast Tour
In October 2008, Northwest history
specialist David Dilgard recorded a
walking tour of 52 sites and stories in
Evergreen Cemetery. This recording is
available in three ways: in this digital
collection; from the
Everett Public
Library podcast collection; and on
numbered map may also be downloaded
to accompany the tour. Images in this
collection that correspond with a site
on the recorded tour are marked.
Digital Collection
This digital collection and podcast tour
are not meant to replace the experience
of touring the cemetery in person.
Rather, these digital items are intended
to enhance the experience of exploring
Evergreen Cemetery's many memorials and
botanical features. They are intended as
an introduction to the lives and stories
associated with those interred there.
A written guide to the people and
stories of Evergreen Cemetery is also
available through the digital collection
by clicking
here. This document should be
considered a work in progress, as
burials and new stories are frequently
discovered and added to this list.
Visiting Evergreen Cemetery
Evergreen Cemetery is located at 4505
Broadway, in Everett, Washington. When
visiting this—or any cemetery—please

Physics and Chemistry of Graphene - Graphene to Nanographene
by Toshiaki Enoki (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan), Tsuneya Ando (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan)
Hardback 460 pages 2012-12-01 Print ISBN: 9789814241489 eBook ISBN: 9789814241496 DOI: 10.4032/9789814241496
List price : $149.95
"This book comprehensively covers graphene, addressing a broad range of physics- and chemistry-related aspects. This in itself is remarkable because so far books on graphene have been restricted to the physical aspects. However, there is an alternative approach which originates from chemistry. On the one hand, graphene can be regarded as a two-dimensional conjugated polymer. On the other, it results from the extension of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to infinite size. What chemistry can bring to the graphene research is its expertise in materials' synthesis. Important criteria which come to mind here are structural perfection, reproducibility, and the efficiency of the fabrication process at different length scales of the products. Further, understanding graphene on the basis of chemistry provides information on what physics cannot cover, particularly on graphene nanostructures. Currently graphene nanostructures have attracted much attention as active components of electronic and spintronic devices, materials for batteries, catalysts, and so on. Clearly, for these fields, the top-down approach of chemistry is indispensable, and it is hard to think of robust graphene-based technologies without an impact from chemistry. The text plays a dual role: as a rich source of knowledge for graphene chemistry and as an introduction to graphene physics with an emphasis on reliable structure–property relations. Both the newcomer and the expert will find it extremely valuable."
Dr. Klaus Müllen - Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany
Graphene has been attracting growing attention in physics, chemistry, and device applications after the discovery of micromechanically cleaved graphene sheet. The electronic structure of graphene, which is described in terms of massless Dirac fermion, brings about unconventional electronic properties, which are not only an important basic issue in condensed matter physics but also a promising target of cutting-edge electronics/spintronics device applications. Meanwhile, from the chemistry aspect, graphene is the extrapolated extreme of condensed polycyclic hydrocarbon molecules to infinite size. Here, the concept on aromaticity, which organic chemists utilize, is applicable. Interesting issues appearing between physics and chemistry are pronounced in nano-sized graphene (nanographene), as we recognize the importance of the shape of nanographene in understanding its electronic structure. This book comprehensively discusses the fundamental issues related to the electronic, magnetic, and chemical properties of condensed polycyclic hyodrocarbon molecules, nanographene, and graphene.

100 years ago the T-rex was named and announced to the world. UK
pubcaster BBC One celebrates his life from his unearthing by Barnum
Brown in the Badlands of Montana to the launch of his career in
the silent movies of the Twenties and ultimate monster stardom in
Jurassic Park. Using a combination of state of the art computer
generated images, stunning archive film, quirky dramatic reconstructions
and frequently surprising interviews, T-rex: A Dinosaur in Hollywood
tells the life story of the Tyrant Lizard King.
Skipping over the rather boring 65 million years that it took T-rex
to get noticed the film traces his story from awe inspiring museum
exhibit to his journey towards becoming a Hollywood megastar. The
programme features three palaeontologists, co-stars, directors,
and some occasionally bitter rivals including King Kong.
This warts-and-all, kiss-and-tell biopic that will ruffle a few
feathers as it builds to the climatic scene in which we see, for
the first time ever in the history of the world, T- rex sporting
lots of feathers.
T-rex is one of the most versatile actors around. As well as monster
movies he has starred in comedies Caveman!, action films
Jurassic Park, cowboy movies Valley of the Gwangi,
sci-fi Galaxy of the Dinosaurs and cartoons Fantasia.
During his career T-rex has worked with such luminary directors
as Steven Spielberg, Ray Harryhausen, Walt Disney and Willis O'Brien.
He has acted opposite Richard Attenborough, Superman, Mickey Mouse,
Ringo Starr and Fay Wray.
In order to film a bedroom scene between two passionate T-rexs
you need to build a bed at least six metres long, 14 metres wide
and capable of supporting 10 tonnes in weight. However, kissing
scenes are definitely out as T-rex could not pucker its lips.


text: Rarely are such "meeting of the minds" sessions worth any fuss at all – but in this case, the masterful talents of the players turn what should be a snoozy "common denominator" session into a modernist classic that still crackles with excitement after all these years! The real success factor here is Ellington, who was hitting a point in his career when he was really beginning to experiment again – as you'll hear in the beautifully angular piano lines that he lays next to Mingus' bass and Roach's lively drums. The set's nearly all originals, and titles include "Money Jungle", "Le Fleurs Africaines", and "Wig Wise". Very nice! © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

A child explores the ordinary life of his extraordinary great-grandfather, as expressed in his topiary garden.
When Roy G. Biv, a leprechaun, appears and asks Colleen's help in saving the St. Patrick's Day parade, she offers items of different colors to rebuild his lost rainbow, but is reluctant to part with a special gift from her grandfather.
The Napping House, by Audrey Wood, is full of beautiful illustrations, and there is wonderful repetition in the wording of the book. The sequencing is great for children because it creates a sense of anticipation and allows them to participate in reading the book. The story is about a grandma who has everyone in the house gently pile on top of her while she is asleep.The pile includes her grandson, the dog, the cat, the mouse and the mouse's flea.The book is charming as well as being calming and would be a great bedtime story for a child who needs help settling down.
"It's the Day of the Dead! It's time to celebrate! In this bilingual book, a young girl is busy helping her family prepare to honor those who have died. First she goes with her mama to the market to buy pan de muerto. Then she lays a path of marigold petals with her papa. But mostly, she thinks of her abuelito. She misses him very much and is excited for his spirit to visit that night. And when she sees the butterflies fly through the sky, she knows that his spirit is with them. Written in both Spanish and English, this book includes activities and recipes just right for any Day of the Dead celebration."
A bus driver takes his grandson along on Saturdays as he travels a historical route around New York City. What comes out of these travels is a series of wonderful adventures that culminates on Christmas Eve, when the bus gets stuck in a snowstorm.
After one last foray far from his home, an aging rabbit decides he prefers to rest in his own garden and let his children and grandchildren bring him good things to eat.

DIY HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS: 120+ Homemade Presents Friends and Family of All Ages Will Treasure
filed under: diy kids crafts, green family, green gifts, green holiday ideas for kids, green kids
Creating homemade gifts is a very thoughtful way to celebrate the holidays. Handmade DIY gifts are personal, less expensive and show that you care enough to spend time on someone. Plus, you get to avoid all the shopping madness at the mall! Now, this said, there are good homemade gifts and not so good homemade gifts. Think carefully before choosing a DIY gift project. Keep safety in mind at all times and most importantly, remember, even if a gift looks like an excellent idea, it's only great if you can pull it off, so stick with a gift project you can manage. To get started with DIY holiday gifts, first take a look at our guide to making useful and special homemade holiday gifts, then consider one of the awesome DIY gift ideas below - you're sure to find something for everyone you know.
Photo – Homemade Memory Game
Homemade Gifts That Kids Can Help Make
Not all homemade gifts are easy for kids to make. Kids have short attention spans and some are wee perfectionists, which means when a homemade gift is too hard and doesn't turn out, you may be in for some holiday kid-angst. When making homemade gifts with kids, allow them to help choose a project, but steer them in a good direction, helping them to choose projects that can be split into short creation spurts, not projects that have to be completed all at once. Also, pick a project that is practically foolproof and easy for kids to manage. Below are some good ideas.
- 6 simple gifts kids can help make for siblings
- Homemade memory game
- Upcycled flower pot gardening kits
- Build an easy recycled glass terrarium
- Organic succulents in recycled paint dipped cans
- Salt dough holiday ornaments
- Recycled bottle cap magnets
52 Reasons I Love You Cards Photo by 52 Reasons I Love You
Not Martha? No Problem!
Not so crafty? That's OK. Not all of us can be Martha. You don't have to make homemade gifts totally from scratch. Some gifts are "semi-homemade" yet still great to give, and there's almost zero craftiness required – you'll mostly need simply a dash of creativity.
- 52 Reasons I Love You Cards: My son made this for his dad on Father's day and it was a huge hit. A little time consuming, so best for an older kid, not a young tot, but very cool and thoughtful.
- Personalized calendar for kids: Calenders are a great organizing gift for kids, and blank calenders allow you to personalize them to your child's interests.
- Hand painted clock: Most craft stores carry clock makings. Pick some up, and have your child paint cool designs on a clock for a grandparent.
- Music CD: Easy as pie and a great stocking stuffer for just about everyone.
- Mason jar sippy – for kids and adults.
- Vintage postcard calendar journal
- Create a cool thrift store dress up kit for a child.
- Silhouette Plaque – a lovely way to show off the kids.
- Family movie night gift package.
- Decorated Steampunk journal for a tween or teen.

Prince Anwar Shah Road
Prince Anwar Shah Road is safe investment bet
When it comes to South Kolkata, especially Prince Anwar Shah Road, most real estate enthusiasts and consultants declare it a safe bet in terms of returns on investment.
Kolkata homebuyers want premium homes
Upcoming high-end residential projects are the new driver of Kolkata's realty sector. Reportedly, the city is witnessing significant demand-supply of premium apartments in the past 4-6 months. According to Saeed Ahmed of SK Properties, "Newly launched luxury apartments, villas are enticing end-users, investors, HNI's and other big corporates from the city as well as from the neighbourhood cities. Premium housing projects launched in the city are doing good business and transacted 10-15 per cent more than the affordable projects." Lot of investments are coming from non resident Indians, he added.

Dual Enrollment Modules
Dual Enrollment Course Modularization Guidelines
- Modularized courses are college courses that are divided into two parts and offered over two semesters.
- Students have the entire year to master learning outcomes.
- Students are required to take a comprehensive final exam at the end of the second semester.
- If the students do not successfully complete both modules, they will not be able to transfer the course.
- The only difference between the modularized version of a course and its semester-based equivalent is the amount of time available to cover the learning outcomes.
- All Dual Enrollment faculty members must meet the same credentialing requirements as that of faculty on the Stark State College campus.
- Before any OTM course modules can be offered, the modules must be approved by the appropriate Faculty Sub-committee.
- Stark State has tracked student performance data and presented this to the Ohio Board of Regents and the OTM Faculty Sub-committees on an annual basis.

Here's a lovely idea for a winter wedding theme if you're planning to wed shortly after Christmas. Wassail conjurs up ideas of bowls of apple cider punch, rich colours, bare apple boughs and foraged greenery for decoration, ribbons, wedding tipis with warm fires and candle light, all surrounded by the people you love. What a theme...
Wassailing is an ancient tradition of blessing apple trees at Twelfth Night and asking the spirit of the tree for a bountiful harvest of fruit the following autumn. Some wassailers adhere to the Gregorian calendar and mark Twelfth Night on 6th January, whereas others adhere to the older Julian calendar and leave their wassails until the 17th January, a good time to celebrate a wedding too!
Wassail is an Anglo-Saxon word and is thought to mean 'Be In Good Health'. Whilst there is a tradition of wassailing neighbours with songs and good wishes at yuletide (similar to the modern tradition of carolling), apple trees had to wait until Twelfth Night, a time when the world is turned upside down, the Lord of Misrule reigns for a day, and the spirits draw close, including those of trees.
People who cared for an apple tree – and the tradition is still strong in the cider growing areas of England and the marches of Wales – set out with gifts of hot cakes and cider as an offering to the spirit of the tree. Usually, a cider soaked cake was hoisted high and left in the fork of a branch, with more cider splashed on the earth over the roots.
In order to drive away any malignant influence, people might shout or bang pan lids together, and some even fire shotguns into the air. Then, all present sing the wassailing song, asking for a good crop of apples the following autumn. If you want to wassail your own apple tree (or, with amendment to the words, any other sort of fruiting tree, or even your own union) here are some traditional words to use.
Old Apple Tree, we wassail thee
Let everyone here take off their hat
Wassail! Wassail! Wassail!
Following the formal part of the ritual, the ceremony concludes with sharing cider and cakes among all those present. Traditionally, a single bowl of cider was passed around the company so it became a 'loving cup' binding all there in fellowship and community.
If you happen to be near Exeter, in Devon this weekend, go along to the Lamb Inn at Sandford's Wassail on Sunday to experience this ancient tradition for yourself.
Whether you decide to wed on this day or not, Wassail and be in good health!

Johnny Losurdo's winning entry from Gilda's Club Chicago's essay contest
By JOHNNY LOSURDO March 28, 2013 5:28PM
John Losurdo with his parents Anthony and Karen at the Gilda's Club award ceremony
Updated: March 28, 2013 8:00PM
My name is Johnny, and I was diagnosed at 4 weeks old with Stage IV Neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is an aggressive children's cancer with one of the lowest survival rates today. The birth of a child is most often filled with great memories of joy and happiness. But not every family will follow this path. Being diagnosed with cancer affects more than just the person with the disease. It is a lifelong journey of ups and downs.
My parents tell me that the first two years of my life were the most traumatic. I went through chemotherapy, numerous surgeries and a multitude of biopsies, scans and transfusions. My parents had to spend most of their time dedicated to my healthcare, working two full-time jobs and taking care of my 2-year-old sister. My initial surgery appeared hopeful, and the first round of chemotherapy appeared to be working. The celebration would not last long, as subsequent scans would reveal that the cancer had spread to my liver and bones. My first Christmas involved an emergency visit to the hospital and an extended stay through New Year's Day that involved low blood counts and a persistent RSV infection.
The next rounds of chemotherapy would be more successful, and years 3-5 involved constant check-ups and visits to the hospital. It was during these years that I first started to become aware of my circumstances. No child likes going to the doctor for a normal check-up because of the occasional shot or vaccine. My visits would always involve routine blood draws, and I would soon develop a fear of needles. Sadly, this fear would intensify with each and every visit. It would take multiple nurses to hold me down to take a "simple" blood draw.
At age 5, my cancer was said to be in remission and there was a strong sense of relief for this milestone. As I started grade school, I learned that I was somehow different than the other kids. I have Horner's Syndrome, which affects my right eye and upper torso. One eye is blue and one eye is green, my pupil does not dilate and occasionally my lid droops. I do not sweat on one side of my face and upper torso, and turn red and flush on one side during any physical activity. Kids would sometimes tease me for this "imperfection," which led me to ask the same questions to my parents. Being loving and protective, they gently explained about my condition and that even though I am somewhat different on the outside, what matters most is what is on the inside. Conversations like this started to shape the person I would become.
Middle school and early high school would continue to present additional challenges. Participating in gym class and feeling self-conscious about my scars would sideline me from swim class, once again making me stand apart from the other kids. Whether it is genetics and/or the chemotherapy I received at an early age, I am shorter than most people. As we all know, the "short kid" will get picked on and will probably be called various names. Two of the most hurtful things were being called Cancer Boy and being told the only thing that I was good at was catching cancer.
Because of my hardships, I started to find an outlet in music to help escape the world. I began to write poetry and song lyrics that would express how I was feeling at the time. A few of my friends saw my lyrics and said I should rap them, because I enjoyed that type of music. The song is named "Fearless" by Johnny L. and it is dedicated to overcoming cancer as well as overcoming any type of discrimination for being different. I am donating the money from this song, which you can buy on iTunes, to help fight children's cancer. Every kid deserves a fighting chance, and hopefully with this money we can even find a cure.
Over the past year, I have been trying to raise awareness about neuroblastoma. I have met many wonderful people who also want to help those with cancer. I have had an article written in the Kane County Chronicle, have been on WGN's "Chicago's Very Own" and I most recently performed at Soldier Field at a Walk-a-Thon to raise money for children's cancer research. I have raised and donated money to help the fight against cancer. I have a Facebook fan page, which is dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring others. It has links to my video and links to iTunes, where the proceeds get donated to the cause.
Growing up with cancer has had its ups and downs. It has shaped my character into the person I am today. I have learned to treat others with respect and have learned to live life to the fullest.
I am now 17 years old, loving life and proud to be a cancer survivor. Embrace what makes you different and or unique. Hang onto your dreams and make them last longer.
Anything is possible when you work hard and stay positive. It's Always Something…but that Something Will Never Keep Me Down! I count my blessings day by day, in darkest times I look for light. Through my battle with cancer and the lifelong effects it has on me I stay strong. With the love and support of my family I am who I am … a cancer survivor.
John Losurdo is a 17-year-old student at St. Charles East High School, and won first place in the Teens Living with a Cancer Diagnosis category on February 27 at the 4th annual Gilda's Club Chicago Teen Essay Awards Reception. For more information, visit Gildasclubchicago.org.

Ovechkin peaking at the right time
ARLINGTON—The chants echoing through the Verizon Center this weekend were unlike anything heard there in quite some time, and the man being serenaded by the crowd understood.
In many ways, Alex Ovechkin hasn't been the same player he was during his first five years in the NHL. That's when he routinely came near, or surpassed, 50 goals and 100 points.
There have been questions about his conditioning and his commitment. His contributions to the Washington Capitals have been accordingly criticized as his stature as one of the league's most dominant players has diminished.
The great ones, though, are judged on wins—something Ovechkin also understands.
The Capitals (38–30–8, 84 points) are tied with Buffalo for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff berth and host the Sabres tonight in a critical game.
As they ramp up their quest for their fifth consecutive playoff berth, Ovechkin has played an instrumental role over the past 10 games, averaging a goal in each and scoring seven times in the last five games.
He played one of his more complete games on Sunday, a 3–0 home victory over Minnesota, when he logged 26:19 of ice time playing double shifts. He made a crucial diving stop in the second period, breaking up a shorthanded odd-man rush to save a potential goal, then later scored on a slap shot in the third when, as in the past, he set up a defenseman as a screen and rifled the puck past the frozen goalie.
That drew the cheers from the sold-out Verizon Center, with the crowd raining a chorus of "Ovi! Ovi!" upon the talented winger.
"I think today, I think probably like, two years ago, I have kind of trust in how I play," Ovechkin said after the game. "I play every third shift almost every game, all game. I feel pretty good. I feel sharp when I wasn't in the game. I was fresh and you know, it's good for me."
Ovechkin had a team-high five shots against the Wild, and he said after the game that the scoring is merely a product of pucks finally finding the back of the net.
His shooting, though, is down this season; he led the league in each of his first six years, averaging 421 shots, but is on pace for 303—a dip of 28 percent.
Twice among the league leaders in goals scored—he had 65 in 2007–08 en route to a career-high 112 points—Ovechkin currently has 36 and only 61 total points.
Those sluggish paces have picked up over the past two weeks, though. Several of his teammates said Tuesday after practice it's because Ovechkin , with the final six games of the season clearly in front of him, has been playing more relaxed.
"I think when every game means so much, I think it pushes star players to be star players," said forward Keith Aucoin, who was on Ovechkin's double-shifted fourth line Sunday. "I think it's showed in his game and I think he knows that we need him to be the guy that he's been, and obviously, he's been that the last month or so. It's good to see."
Added center Brooks Laich: "He looks like he's having fun playing the game. It's easy. When you score, you have fun, and when you have fun, you score. They kind of go hand in hand, but it's tough to do it.
"Goal scorers love to score goals, and you see him—nobody gets more excited than him, so he's fun to watch, man. When he's in that mode, man, you follow in behind and you ride his coattails."
Ovechkin's influence on his teammates is unmistakable this season. In the 28 games Ovechkin has scored, the Capitals are 19–5–4; they're 19–25–4 when he hasn't. His scoring tear began March 8 against Tampa Bay when he netted an overtime winner, and his current streak of five goals in five games is his longest since midway through the 2010 season.
"Whenever he's scoring, I think our team just moves that much smoother," forward Troy Brouwer said. "You know, for him to be successful, he needs to score goals. We're glad that he's found his game at a very crucial time in the season."
Tonight is a particularly crucial game. The Sabres, in last place in the middle of February and sellers at the trading deadline Feb. 27, have reeled off an improbable streak of 10 victories in 14 games.
Head coach Dale Hunter relied heavily on Ovechkin against Minnesota because he knew Ovechkin could handle it. He also knows Ovechkin is up for the challenge of leading the Capitals over the next six games.
"[Buffalo] is a big game, and big-time players step up," Hunter said. "That's what he's been doing for us."

The Huffington Post and The Blaze are feeding the right-left paradigm, essentially becoming the Fox News/MSNBC of the web. They pose as representing opposite view points but the more you click, the more the similarities of the two are impossible to ignore.
The best part is the people who comment, clearly feeding into the paradigm, thinking their side is better than the other. The comments on HuffPo are generally progressives who think conservatives are racist, gun toting, bible thumping inbred fools. People on The Blaze think HuffPo is full of gays, anti-Israel socialist hippy hipster wannabe pansies. This is all generally speaking of course, but the hardcore Huff and Blaze folks certainly feel at home on those news blogs and think their side is better.
What really bothers me is that both blogs pose as an alternative news source but really are just shills for Democrats and Republicans mainstream establishment zombies. Huffington Post sold out to AOL for over 300 million recently and they have an Alexa rank of 22 in the Unites States, which generally means they beat everyone in the U.S. except 21 sites. The Blaze ranks 350, which is also impressive. For anyone who cares, DeathRattleSports ranks in the 271,000 range, slipping from as high as 87000–not horrible–but putting us in the "H8ER" category. The DrudgeReport, who seem to have far less of an agenda, rank #74. DailyCaller.com is currently #602.
The similarities between Huffington Post and The Blaze are most striking though and it begins immediately when you go to the websites. HuffPo is titled "Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post." The Blaze is titled "Breaking news and opinion on The Blaze." Notice the only differences beside the site name is that the fact that The Blaze did not capitalize as much. It is as if they said, "Let's copy exactly what Arianna is doing, filter the propaganda a little more to our liking and let the Glenn Beck fish go crazy for the chum. By the way, in case you missed it, at last check Glenn Becks face appeared on the homepage of GlennBeck.com 24 times, which is must be some kind of narcissistic record in douchebaggery.
*It is important to note that HuffPo came first, so they should be flattered by the copycats.
The content of both can be infuriating. HuffPo paints all Tea Party peeps as nutjobs who want to go back to the days of yesterslave. The Blaze inks agenda about Occupy being nothing but lazy, dirty dumbasses. At face value, neither recognize the similarities the movements may have within them and the reasons they've popped up. Mainly, people are pissed and revolution is knocking at masters doorstep. Instead, they do everything they can to fit them into the right-left black hole of shallowness–and often times this helps make it reality. It's the same thing the mainstream 24 hours political whores do and it's disappointing every time I click to read.
The Blaze likes to play on the terrorism fears whenever possible. They are seemingly very much pro war, yet pro religion. In fact, Beck named the site after the Biblical story of Moses and the burning bush. HuffPo is obsessed with gay rights and looks to support legalizing marijuana. They are also more anti-war but that is a bit murky at times. They both just play to their audiences, obviously, especially HuffPo who I don't think have been nearly as critical of Obama as they should be if they believe what they write. The same goes for The Blaze, where just like the Dems/Repubs, the hypocricy is so extensive on both sides it's not worth detailing.
Both sites write for clicks, keeping the money train coming. This usually means somewhere on the homepage there is an article about an iPhone or some other gadget for all of us morons to eat up. Pop culture plays a big role, increasingly with The Blaze and HuffPo owns it. These sites love to filter in the distractions for the herd, often leaving the real issues on the backburner, you know, just like the mainstream.
Going back to Alexa, some of Huffington Post's top search queries include the following terms: sex, Penn State scandal, Kim Kardashian wedding, Scarlett Johansson nude, Kim Kardashian divorce and so on. Not until #18 do you actual get to a politician, who is just a tool for them to leverage the paradigm–Sarah Palin.
The Blaze has a politician appear at #14, which is the term "Herman Cain Smoking Ad." I don't know if he can really be considered a politician. If not, then you have to go to #20 (Barney Frank)–who I guess is the Left wing version of Sarah Palin, which is appetizing.
Lately both sites have been obsessed with Tim Tebow. Pop culture distractions are not all bad in moderation, they can be fun but these sites are real click tramps.
The Daily Caller's top term for a politician is "Ron Paul" at #5. Both HuffPo and TheBlaze like to ignore Ron Paul or feed the perceptions of racism, danger, unelectable and all the rest–just like the mainstream. I've followed Paul's campaign and these site closely and they've covered Paul basically the same, with the core followers for each news site opposing his bid for President for different reasons. The Blaze portrays him to appear anti-Israel, racist and naive in terms of foreign policy. HuffPo focuses on him wanting poor people to not get help, rich people to get rich and of course racist. Their coverage, just like the mainstream, re-energizes my belief that he does indeed break the right-left paradigm and the confused media simply have trouble burning their oil when discussing the man. After all, he is pro individual liberty, pro life, small government, antiwar, anti drugwar and it's a mix mash of confusion for the system. But enough about Ron Paul.
The point is, these site are the same. They are completely totally mainstream. Just to rub it in our faces, The Blaze even hired the former CEO of Huffington Post (Betsy Morgan). I still am stuck in the habit of visiting these sites. I've turned off Fox News. MSNBC no more. CNN–not a chance. Instead, I've slid into these new online addictions so I can still get pissed off at the stupidity on a daily basis. But like with those other mainstream whores, my tolerance is fading fast and my mouse is about to permanently resist the temptation to point toward The Huffington Blaze Post nonsense. They are Newt Romney types dressed in digital dollar signs.

My "sensational list" of California Pinot Noir
Some years ago, at a blind tasting of California Pinot Noirs we did for a big story in Wine Enthusiast, Laetitia took highest honors in my scores.
The vintages 2003-2007 were fantastic ones for Laetitia, and while quality seems to have leveled off lately (could it be the cool summers in an already cool region, Arroyo Grande Valley, so that the wine aren't as voluptuous?), the wines remain compelling. So I was not surprised to read this article, in The Drinks Business, which describes a tasting of California Pinot Noir, hosted by Karen MacNeil at the Rudd Center in St. Helena, in which Laetitia outclassed everyone else.
Karen's panel tasted 126 Pinots; of these, 18 wineries made the final cut, and they certainly represent the pick of the litter in California: Brewer-Clifton, Au Bon Climat, Samsara, Martinelli, Joseph Swan, Williams Selyem, Kosta Browne, Failla, Littorai, Foursight, Peay, Scribe, Pisoni, ROAR, Siduri, Sanford and Paul Lato, in addition to top-ranked Laetitia. (Doesn't this list make your mouth water?) Karen is certainly correct when she observes, "In the last 10 years, the quality [of Pinot Noir] has skyrocketed faster than any other variety."
Karen also is correct in noting the vast geographic spectrum in California in which great Pinot Noir is produced: a stretch of 500 miles, from Anderson Valley all the way down the coast to the Santa Rita Hills. That's pretty remarkable, in a world where most wine regions are maybe 20 or 30 miles across. You can attribute California's success to the fact that the entire coast, despite being chopped up into the political subdivisions of counties, is essentially one vast terroir in which similarities of climate (always more important than soil in California) are far greater than differences.
I'd like to add some wineries to Karen's list of "sensational" producers: Flowers, W.H. Smith, Bonaccorsi, Merry Edwards, Golden Eye, Talley, Tantara, Lynmar, Marimar Estate, Bjornstad, Hartford Court, Foxen, Longoria, Ojai, Sea Smoke, Babcock, Morgan, Testarossa, Rochioli, De Loach, Dutton-Goldfield, Paul Hobbs, Byron, Cambria, MacPhail, Gary Farrell for starters. The problem with trying to come up with a classification of great Pinot Noir wineries in California is that every month there seem to be a few more.
As for regions, I couldn't pick any of California's Pinot Noir appellations as being better than the others. They're different. Santa Lucia Highlands Pinots are big, tannic and juicy; Carneros is more delicate. Santa Rita Hills Pinots are fabulously delicious and spicy, while the far Sonoma Coast's brim with fresh acidity and wildland ferality.
Speaking of Pinot Noir, the schedule is out for 2014's Kapalua Wine & Food Festival, at 32 years the nation's oldest. It runs from June 12-15, at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton, on Maui. You may recall I headed up last year's panel on Pritchard Hill. This year, we have something just as exciting: top wineries and wines from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Tickets go on sale starting Feb. 15. This is not an inexpensive festival to go to, but believe me, if you haven't been, it's worth every penny. And not just for the wine: those late nights by the pool are memorable.
2012 vintage: a report card
I've tasted only about 700 wine for Wine Enthusiast from the 2012 vintage (the number should eventually rise to several thousand), but based on what's come in so far, this is going to be a hugely successful year for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Most of the better red wines have yet to be released. But a few early Pinots show the vast promise of the vintage. Santa Arcangeli made a 2012 Split Rail Vineyard, from the Santa Cruz Mountains, that knocked my sox off, while early '12s from Siduri, Reaper, Orfila, The Gardener and Patz & Hall all scored above 90 points. I would expect that, in two years or so when we'll have the lion's share of top coastal Pinots in, there will be lots of 95-and-above scores, and maybe–who knows?–some perfect 100s.
Very little 2012 Cabernet has come my way yet, mostly under-$20 stuff, but even this grouping, which can be so mediocre, has lots of scores in the 86-88 point range, with wines showing plenty of vigor and good fruit. Cabernet in tnis price range is frequently disappointing, with thin flavors, so when you get a bunch of nice ones, it bodes well for what's yet to come. So 2012 could really be a blockbuster Cabernet year.
The 2012 Chardonnays, however, are now pouring in. I would characterize them overall as elegant, well-structured wines. What they may lack in opulence they more than make up for in balance and class. I have a feeling, though I can't prove it, that vintners are dialing back on ripeness and/or oakiness, in favor of acidity and freshness. A Foxen 2012 Chardonnay, from the Tinaquaic Vineyard of the Santa Maria Valley, typifies this lively style, combining richness with minerality and tartness and alcohol well under 14%. Even unoaked Chardonnays, such as Marimar Torres' Acero bottling, are so delicious that they don't really need any oak. So, again, 2012 should prove to be a fantastic Chardonnay year.
It's not just the Big Three–Chardonnay, Cabernet and Pinot Noir–that show such promise in 2012. A handful of Sauvignon Blancs that have come in (Ehlers Estate, Atalon, Matanzas Creek, Cosa Obra, Capture, Rochioli, B Cellars, El Roy, Longmeadow Ranch) show the ripeness and acidity that variety needs, without any of that annoyingly unripe, cat pee pyrazine junk. And Viognier, which is probably the most difficult white variety of all to get right in California (not too green, not too flabby and sweet), shows real promise, as indicated by bottlings from Pride Mountain, Qupe, Kobler and Nagy. The wines are racy and balanced. I could say the same thing about rarer whites, such as Bailiwick's Vermentino, Birichino's Malvasia Bianca, Grüners from Zocker and Von Strasser, white blends such as Vina Robles' White4, Roussanne (Truchard), Albariño (Longoria, La Marea and Tangent), and dry Gewurztraminers (Gundlach Bundschu, Claiborne & Chruchill)–all these are 90 points or higher, exciting to drink, mouthwatering, ultra-versatile with food. And finally, rosé. Up to now, it's never been my favorite California wine (too flabby and sweet)–but 2012 could change my mind. The few I've had so far (Lynmar, Chiarello Family, Ousterhout, Gary Farrell, Demetria)–wow. Dry, crisp, delicate and fruity, just what a rosé should be.
So here's to many more magnificent 2012s to come. It will be the best vintage in many years, at least since 2007–and all the early signs are that 2013 could exceed it.
A Brief Appraisal of California Pinot Noir
I was reading excerpts from Jon Bonné's new book, The New California Wine, that were published in the S.F. Chronicle earlier this week. (I haven't seen a copy of the book itself, yet.) In it, Jon deals with California Pinot Noir, largely fairly. He has associated himself with the anti-high alcohol movement in recent years, which is fair enough; to each, his own. But I do want to talk about this issue of what Jon calls "brawn" in Pinot Noir.
Certainly, Pinot Noir can be made in a variety of styles, as can any wine. One does, however, expect a proper Pinot to be dry, silky in the mouth, bracing with acidity and (here in California, anyway), fruity. But within those parameters, Pinot can display a wide spectrum of weight.
Jon mentions Loring Wine Company's Pinots as examples of "irrational exuberance." Consider their 2006 Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir, a wine I reviewed five years ago, and gave 94 points. The official alcohol level on the label was 14.7%, which I suppose is highish (from the point of view of an In Pursuit of Balance aficienado), and I suppose it might have been slightly higher even that that, given the government's tolerance of alcohol ranges, rather than specifics. But it was an awfully good wine, one I'd love to try today.
Jon included the Pinots of Kosta-Browne in his "irrational exuberance" category. I must say that I have not been a fan on those wines, either. They're too big for me–"brawny." Although the official alcohol levels are in the 14.5% range, they do seem over the top–there's something exaggeratedly Caifornian about them, like that suntan George Hamilton always had, even in the dead of winter: or maybe the late, great Tammy Faye Bakker's over-cosmetized face is the better comparison.
What makes Loring's Pinots balanced and Kosta-Browne's less so for me? Who's to say? It's a matter of taste. The greatest, most consistent Pinot Noirs in California, IMHO, are produced by Williams Selyem. Their alcohol levels are reliably moderate–usually in the low 14s. Yet I also love Brewer-Clifton's Pinots, which can run a point higher; their 2004 Cargasacchi (such a noble vineyard) was 15.1%, yet that wine was so far from "brawny", I can't even tell you. I had to give it 97 points. Was it better than Siduri's magnificent 2007 Hirsch, which I gave 96 points, and whose alcohol was 13.5%? No. Both wines rocked, in their own universes. It would be patently unfair to force them into some kind of mixed martial arts slapdown. Apples and oranges, as it were, but both distinctively Pinot Noir.
Here are the "crimes" California Pinot Noir can commit: residual sugar. Thinness. Simplicity. I don't care for Pinots with too much oak, especially on an over-cropped wine. Unripeness (some critics love the 2011s. Not me. Too much mushroomy, veggie herbaceousness and mint, even some mold). Or, the opposite, overripeness: Loring's 2007 Russell Family Vineyard, from Paso Robles, was raisiny, even though the alcohol was a relatively modest 14.4%. Sometimes, in warmer years, Pinot ages prematurely–why, it's hard to tell, so that even at four years, it can be tired. A Steele 2000 Bien Nacido, tasted in May, 2004, was like that.
Have a good weekend!
The California style is better with our modern, rich foods
For some reason I bookmarked this Decanter "tease" for an article two years ago (the full article requires a subscription), then forgot all about it until this past weekend, when I was cleaning out my old bookmarks and happened to read it. In the afterlight of what we know since then, it makes interesting reading.
We'll start with Oz Clarke's statement that "There is no style revolution in California: low acid, velvet tannins and high alcohol is [sic] what Americans want from their wine and California winemakers will continue to feed that need."
Well, Oz made this remark before it was clear there is a "style revolution", so we'll give it an accuracy rating of 87 points. While it's true that Americans do like the big, fat, rich, ripe California style, it's equally true that increasing numbers of winemakers are consciously attempting to make their wines leaner. Which does not mean "lean." We see this most certainly in a wide swathe of Pinot Noirs that are below 14%, and sometimes nearer to 13%, as evidenced by Jasmine Hirsch's and Raj Parr's "In Pursuit of Balance" movement.
We see it also in other varieties (including Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon). So Oz said something that was mostly true, but not entirely; and cooler vintages may also be tipping the scale toward leaner wines.
However much Oz was or wasn't correct, the larger issue centers around an inherent assumption: that there's something fundamentally suspect about "low acid, velvet tannins and high alcohol" in table wines. For, if you think about it, that assumption is the context of the conversation: Just as the statement "Americans drink too many sugary sodas" implies the context of widespread obesity. "Too many sugary sodas" wouldn't be a problem if so many people (including kids) weren't so fat. We can all agree on that. But what is the negative implication of "low acid, velvet tannins and high alcohol"? There is, in fact, none (unless you say that higher alcohol wines get people drunker faster than do low alcohol wines; but this isn't a qualitative critique of the former, just one of degrees, since low alcohol wines [and beer] can get you drunk too).
In fact, isn't it possible that, if winemaking had originated in the New World instead of the Old, the standard for wine would be a 15.2% alcohol, low acid, velvety Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon? In which case we might just find the upstart German and Italian wine too acidic and lean. One can envision, under such a scenario, a group of vintners and somms, perhaps located in Geisenheim or Florence, calling themselves "In Pursuit of Balance" and promoting wines of higher alcohol, greater ripeness and softness and increased youthful appeal. Stranger things are imaginable.
And what of food? Much has been said and written that our California style of wine is undrinkable with food; the conceit there is that the wines are so strong, they fight with the food, whereas wine traditionally is supposed to take a back seat to food.
Is this really true in your experience? It isn't in mine. I suppose if you ate the kinds of bland, plain things Englishmen ate in the 1800s, a Shafer Hillside Select might not be the ideal accompaniment. When George Saintsbury relished "boiled Turkey" at a dinner partly held at an unnamed date, but probably in the early twentieth century, with it he drank "1878 Lêoville", whose alcohol level cannot have been much higher than 12%, and which must by then have been a dry, somewhat light and earthy wine. But we don't eat "boiled Turkey" today. Instead, we gorge on "Niman Ranch Hangar Steak with San Marzano Tomatoes, Garlic, Arugula and Parmigiano-Reggiano," to take but one item off the menu from Oenotri, the Napa restaurant; with it I might order a 2008 Staglin (alcohol 14.9%) or Anakota "Helena Dakota" (14.8%) off the list and be perfectly happy. In fact, something lacking in body might falter and be wiped out beside that dish's mouth-filling richness. So, once again, you have to take these things in context.
I got so infatuated with the thought of food and wine pairing that I Googled "Boulevard," one of my favorite San Francisco restaurants, to find additional main courses that call for rich, opulent wines. With "California lamb T-bone, wood oven roasted, served off the bone with grilled Monterey artichoke, olive panzanella, pancetta-mixed faro, lamb juice, mint and orange (a dish that would have blown Professor Saintsbury's mind) I could easily see myself drinking a Patz & Hall 2010 Chenowith Ranch Pinot Noir (14.8%) and smiling all the way. An old, dry, 13% Bordeaux or Burgundy? No, thanks.
An inconvenient truth about Pinot Noir
Critical attitudes toward California Pinot Noir have varied over the decades. When I first started paying attention to wine, the belief was just becoming entrenched that warmer regions, especially Napa Valley, were unsuitable for the great grape of Burgundy, because (it was said), the grapes got too ripe, and thus lacked the silky elegance, or one might say the dynamic tension you want in a great Pinot Noir.
I accepted that argument, because all I was, was a lowly newbie, so who was I to disagree with the experts? This was despite my having had a Napa Valley Pinot Noir, from the now defunct Louis K. Mihaly Winery, which I liked so much, I bought a half case, my first multiple-bottle purchase ever.
So everyone tore out their Pinot Noir vines from Napa (and few dared to plant the variety in warmer places like Paso Robles), and the rush was on for cool regions: starting with Carneros (which, briefly, was heralded as "California's Burgundy" in the 1980s), then the Russian River Valley, Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast and broad stretches of the Central Coast, most famously in the western Santa Ynez Valley we now call the Santa Rita Hills.
That was all well and good. I would say the first nine or ten years of the 21st century were the Golden Era of California Pinot Noir. Wines of majestic distinction arrived, differing in their particulars depending on where and how grown and made, but asserting their right to sit beside Cabernet Sauvignon as co-bearers of the title, "California's Greatest Red Wine."
Well, that was before the 2010 vintage, as stubbornly cold as anything we'd witnessed in many years. Followed by 2011, even colder, shockingly so–the year summer never came. The market now is receiving the Pinot Noirs of these two vintages (a few 2012s are trickling out, but not the important ones, which should begin arriving in the Winter-Spring of 2014). And we are learning, the hard way, one of the oldest lessons in wine: When you grow a variety at the limit of its ability to ripen, you will get great wines in a warm vintage, and mediocre wines in a cool one.
The problems I've encountered with rot, mold, green tannins and flavors and vegetal notes in Pinot Noirs from 2010 and 2011 are worse than anything in my previous experience. It's been truly shocking. Erratic, too: wineries that bottle numerous vineyard-designated Pinots (as so many do nowadays) will have one that's ripe, and another that's green and moldy–often from the same appellation. There are some famous brands that, in my opinion, should have declassified their wines, especially the 2011s; but declassification is rare in California.
The numbers express it interestingly:
2011 Pinots I scored over 90 points: 127
2009 Pinots I score over 90 points: 489
Granted, there are some more 2011s yet to come, but the ultimate number of over-90s is not going to approach 250, much less 489. So what we gave up when we tore out that Napa Pinot was, at least, consistency of ripeness. What we gained, I suppose, is the same situation as in Burgundy: not every year is a "vintage" year.
What of 2012? As I wrote on Sept. 18 of that year, "2012 is the year nothing happened. No rain, no frosts, no damaging heat waves, no chilly temperatures, no smoke taint from wildfires, no mold, no spring shatter." A week and a half later, something happened: we had a bigtime heat wave. I noted, "If you gathered in your Pinot Noir before the heat struck, you're fine. If not, high alcohol will be a problem." There were even reports of sunburn, especially in the Russian River Valley. When the harvest was over, Bob Cabral, at Williams Selyem, favorably compared the quality of his 2012 Pinots to the 1997s, when he'd been at Hartford Court. Yet, in the same conversation, he alluded to "a little bit of botrytis in some Pinot blocks," which I took to be caused by rain that moved in after Oct. 21. So you can see that 2012 also was not a perfect vintage. But we'll just have to see what the bottles offer.
What is "nobility" in wine?
Why are Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay "noble" varieties? Why isn't Zinfandel? Can Syrah be "noble"? Is sparkling wine "noble"?
First, we have to define "noble." It's an oldish word when applied to wine. From Wikipedia: "Noble grapes are any grapes traditionally associated with the highest quality wines. This concept is not as common today, partly because of the proliferation of hybrid grape varieties, and partly because some critics feel that it unfairly prioritizes varieties grown within France. Historically speaking, the noble grapes comprised only six varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."
It's tempting for me to side with the democrats [small "d"] in this argument–the ones who feel that de-nobleizing certain varieties because they're not French is unfair and patronizing. But there are sound reasons for preserving our current understanding of varietal nobility.
The most important of these reasons is that, in California as in France, a handful of varieties clearly makes the best wines, and has for pretty much as long as the state's wine industry has existed. All I need do is go to Wine Enthusiast's database to confirm this. Since the first of this year, all 30 of my highest-scoring wines have been either Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay, with the single exception of a Nickel & Nickel 2010 Merlot, from the Harris Vineyard, in Oakville. (And I, personally, would not include Merlot among the nobles, at least in California.)
Why do these wines score higher than other varieties? Ahh, here we get into the fuzzy details, which are impossible of proof. But let me try. First and foremost, there is structure, a word that seems comprehensible at first. Structure is architecture: just as you can have the most beautiful stuff (paintings, carpets, furniture, vases) in the world, but it's only a mere pile if it doesn't have a room or home in which to reside, so too wine needs walls, a floor, a ceiling, a sense of stolidity and solidity, else it become simple flavor. And flavor, in and of itself, has never been the primary attribute of great wine.
California, of course, has no problem developing flavor, in any variety. That's due to our climate: grapes ripen dependably. To the extent California wines are the target of criticism, it is because Europhiles find a dreary sameness to too many of them. Even I, as staunch a defender of California wine as there is, find this to be true. Too often, the flavors of red wines suggest blackberries and cherries and chocolate, whether it's Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Grenache, Cabernet, Merlot, Tempranillo. It's easy for such wines to score 87 points, or 89 points, or even 91 points: these are good scores, but not great ones, limited by the wines' lack of structure.
Structure, of course, is composed primarily of acidity and tannins, the latter of which may come from both the grapes and the oak treatment. (I won't get into the mysteries of minerality.) Yet there are elements of structure that are more difficult to define. Texture is an element of structure, just as the way a room feels is an element of its architecture. Imagine a room with soaring roof and large windows that let in the sunlight, as opposed to a cramped, pinched room, a closet or storage area. The former feels more satisfactory to our senses and esthetics. So too does a wine with great texture feel superior. It can be the hardest thing in the world to put into words, but even amateurs will appreciate the difference between a beautifully-structured wine and its opposite. (I have proven this many times, with my wine-drinking friends who have but limited understanding of it.)
So why don't we allow Zinfandel into the ranks of noble wines? I suppose an argument could be made that we should, for at its highest expressions–Williams Selyem, De Loach, Elyse, Ravenswood, Bella, Turley–Zinfandel does fulfill the structural and textural prerequisites of a noble wine. But too often, it does not: a Zinfandel can be classic Zin for its style (Dry Creek Valley, Amador County) and yet be a little rustic, in a shabby-chic way. Sometimes this is due to excessive alcohol, sometimes to overripened fruit, but no matter the cause, and no matter how much fun that Zin is to drink with barbecue, the last thing I'd call most Zins is noble. Zinfandel is Conan the Barbarian, ready to chop your head off and stick it on the tip of a spear.
Can sparkling wine be said to be noble? It is most often, of course, a blend of two noble varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, so why not? The answer is as simple as this: We call varieties "noble," not wine types. Perhaps we should expand the definition of "noble" to include types, not just sparkling blends but Sherry and Port. Certainly these are great wines, if underappreciated nowadays. I keep my eye, also, on some of the surprisingly eccentric red blends being produced lately, mainly by younger winemakers (often in Paso Robles), who are mixing varieties in unprecedented and triumphant ways, proving that a wine doesn't have to be varietal (as defined by the TTB) in order to be great.
But I'm comfortable for the time being restricting nobility to just a handful of varieties in California: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Not Riesling, not yet, in our state. Not Sauvignon Blanc, not yet, in our state. Not Syrah, not yet, in our state. And not, as I have said, Merlot. Any one of these latter varieties can produce great wine, but it will be the exception.

Glass to metal seals, PhD
The joining of glasses and ceramics to metals is vital in many areas of industry. For example, electronic feed-throughs, where the glass or ceramic provides electrical isolation for a series of pins or connectors. In order to increase the scope of glass-to-metal or ceramic-to-metal seals, there is a need to understand the nature of the interface between the glass/ceramic and metal, how the interface is formed, and if there are any effects of ageing. This will require extensive microscopy and spectroscopy of the interfaces.
