The connection between high scores and ageability
It's funny that I never really thought about it until recently, when I was browsing through my reviews in Wine Enthusiast's database and realized that I had chosen the special designation of "Cellar Selection" for about 80% of my highest scoring wines.
If you'd asked me what parameters form the basis of a high score (let's say anything above 95 points), I would have referred you to the magazine's guidelines. They say things like "truly superb," "great complexity," "memorable," "pinnacle of expression," "complete harmony and balance," "absolute best," but the guidelines are silent on the question of ageability.
Had you pressed me to more fully explain a high score, I suppose at some point the "A" word would have arisen. But in and of itself, "ageability" does not equal great wine. Many wines will age, some for a long time, yet are not particularly complex or beautiful, either in youth or in old age.
And yet, my highest scoring wines, from this year alone, include Williams Selyem 2010 30th Anniversary Pinot Noir, Rochioli 2011 West Block Pinot Noir, Freemark Abbey 2009 Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet, Flora Springs 2010 Hillside Reserve Cabernet, Tantara 2010 Gwendolyn Pinot Noir, Matanzas Creek 2010 Journey, Terra Valentine 2010 K-Block Cabernet, Stonestreet 2010 Rockfall Cabernet, B Cellars 2009 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet, Jarvis 2007 Estate Cabernet, Von Strasser 2010 Sori Bricco Cabernet, Sodaro 2009 Doti-Sodaro Blocks 2 and 6 Cabernet, and, another Beckstoffer coup, Janzen 2010 Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet. All 95 points or higher, all Cellar Selections.
What I look for in predicting ageability are two things, or three, depending on how you define them. First is an immediate reaction (from the nose/palate via the brain) of stunned impressionability. It's a simple "Wow!" factor, although of course there's nothing simple about it. Now, any wine can possess the "Wow!" factor without being ageable. A lot of it has to do with what Dr. Leary called "set and setting," i.e. where you are (the external circumstances) and your mindset (subjective factors). A silky Beaujolais, like the one I had the other night, achieved the "Wow!" factor, because it was a warm evening, I had slightly chilled the bottle, and with it I enjoyed a soy-glazed tuna burger (homemade) and the company of someone special to me. But that Beaujolais was not an ageable wine, and if I were scoring it, I would have given it around 90.
The next thing I look for, in determining ageability, is an immature quality that makes the wine, good as it is, undrinkable, this latter word used in the old British sense of "too young to enjoy now" (although I'm always careful to point out that even a California wine that's "too young to enjoy now" is, of course, enjoyable now, if you like it that way. The Cellar Police will not slap you into Guantanamo). What makes a wine "too young now," for me, are, usually, dense tannins that numb the palate, but this is not so great a problem as it used to be (in California or in France) because modern tannin management regimes render even the hardest tannins more mellifluous (the adjective "mellifluous" being a good example of its own definition). A greater problem is what I call the unintegrated quality of a young wine's parts. Those parts include oak, fruit, alcohol, acidity and tannins, and if they feel (in the mouth) like a herd of cats, each going its own way, resistant to corralling, then the wine is unintegrated. A subset of this is that California fruit can be overwhelming in youth, a detonation of jam that makes them too obvious–"Tammy Faye Bakker," in the words of a Frenchman I know who crafts wines (or seeks to) of greater finesse and control.
The final aspect of determining ageability is the history and reputation of the winery. I make the previous two determinations blind, but this third factor weaves its way in when I take the bottle out of its covering bag. If I've already determined that the wine is ageable, that is going to appear in the review; but if I then see that it's a wine I know for a fact ages well (say, a Williams Selyem Allen Vineyard Pinot Noir), that seals the deal, as they say. In general, I don't like to stretch the window of ageability too far into an uncertain future (the way RMP does), but if I know the wine has a good history of hitting, say, 10 or 20 years, I'll say so. (Corison Cabernets are a good example of this.) Which obviously makes it difficult when the wine is a new brand, without history, of which there are many, particularly in those bastions of ageability, Napa Valley Cabernet and cool-climate Pinot Noir. But, going through my highest-scoring wines, I see very few new brands among them. Mostly they are the older, traditional names, which is just as you'd expect.
Russian River Pinot Noir too often is commodity wine. Get used to it.
Jon Bonné in his wrap-up of the 2011 Pinot Noir vintage in California uses the extraordinary phrase "mission creep" to describe the great expansion of acreage in the Russian River Valley area over the years, "from the core of the appellation near Healdsburg and Forestville" to places "far afield."
Historically this is an accurate statement. In 1988 (25 years ago), Sonoma County contained 1,968 acres of Pinot Noir, almost all of it in the relatively concentrated area mostly stretching along River Road in the south and Westside Road in the north.
Last year (2012) by contrast Sonoma had 12,062 acres of Pinot Noir (bearing and non-bearing), an increase of 512%, and while some of that acreage was outside formal Russian River Valley AVA (mainly along the Sonoma Coast), most of it was from within the valley, and a great deal of that was due to the 2005 expansion of the appellation's boundary southward, toward Cotati, which added 30,200 acres, or roughly 30%, to its total size.
So Jon is entirely correct in his summation of history. But I have a different take on the question of his correlative assertion that this expansion, or "mission creep," has come at the expense of overall quality.
Jon's right, in this sense: Certainly the overall quality of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has been diluted. But then, there are a great many more Pinot Noirs from the Russian River Valley than ever before (and the quantity will explode once the enormous 2012 vintage hits the market), and as with all such things, that means there are a great many more mediocre Pinot Noirs than ever before. This is solely a function of the Russian River Valley's explosion in size, and not necessarily because its winemakers have failed to "make a stand for a sense of place," as Jon puts it. Any large region contains many mediocre wines, Bordeaux being a prime example (and Burgundy, too). Therefore, to assume that Russian River Pinot Noirs "need to take a step up in quality" is not the correct interpretation. That is something that the wines–broadly speaking–cannot do: "Russian River Pinot Noir" now has become a generic branding of the varietal, producing many commodity wines. The words "Russian River Valley" on a label of Pinot Noir are simply a guarantee of origin, and a certain Pinot-esque quality of flavor and mouthfeel. Beyond that, the consumer no longer should expect anything more.
This argues the case for two new things to consider: The first, obviously, is the reputation of the individual Pinot house. If one seeks Pinot Noir at the highest level, one buys, not "Russian River Valley Pinot Noir," but Wiliams Selyem, or Hartford Court, or Merry Edwards, or Lynmar, and so on; and fortunately there are a great many top houses to choose from. The second consideration is less obvious, and more controversial: now that "Russian River Valley" by itself is largely meaningless, it is time to break the greater Russian River Valley AVA into smaller ones.
So sticky has this issue become that no one wants to talk about it anymore, because every time the subject comes up it causes heartache, anger and recrimination. But really, that is the thing to do now. Jon is right to bemoan the fact that "Russian River Valley Pinot Noir" has lost traction to (say) Sonoma Coast (the "True" one, and we now have a Fort Ross-Seaview appellation to officialize it, followed, I hope, by Annapolis in the north and Occidental or Freestone or something else in the south). But neither he, nor we, ought to set our hearts on a general "step up in quality" in the Russian River Valley proper. The horse is out of the barn, his rump disappearing beyond the last bend in the road; and nothing will lure him back. Russian River Valley Pinot Noir no longer is the elite club of Davis Bynum, Joe Swan, Rochioli and Burt Williams, laboring in his ramshackle barn. It's a big, ungainly consortium, and like all consortia contains a multitude of the good, the bad and the ugly.
It's sad, in a way, for me to come to this conclusion about Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, but it was inevitable that it would happen. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is in much the same boat. "There are no common wines in Vosnes," I once read (it might have been Hugh Johnson or Michael Broadbent paraphrasing someone else), but there indeed are common Pinots in the Russian River Valley and we might as well get used to the fact and stop criticizing the valley for not being what it can no longer be.
From Kapalua, Two Pinot Panels, and a Parsing of "In Pursuit of Balance"
Saturday's two wine panels at the Kapalua Wine & Food Festival were both on Pinot Noir. The first, "In Pursuit of Balance," was about a newer generation of winemakers: Rajat Parr (Sandhi), Pax Mahle (Wind Gap), Jamie Kutch (Kutch) and Gavin Chanin (Chanin). The theory, I think, was that these are all wines of lower alcohol (although we weren't told what the ABV was, so I'm only guessing. The only winemaker to tell us the alcohol level on one of his wines was Kutch, who said it was 12.8% on his 2011 Sonoma Coast).
Here are my very abbreviated notes:
Wind Gap 2011 Gap Crown (Sonoma Coast). Vibrant, delicate, ripe. Cola, cherry pie, cranberry sauce.
Wind Gap 2010 Gap Crown. Keen acidity, similar to but less advanced than the '11 despite being a year older. The '10 was made in concrete while the '11 was in neutral French oak.
Kutch 2011 Sonoma Coast. Blend of 3 vineyards: Annapolis, Petaluma Gap, Sebastopol. A pretty wine, ripe and savory. Root beer, cherry pie.
Kutch 2011 McDougall Ranch. The vineyard is in the Fort Ross area and the wine showed that distinctly feral, foresty quality I always get from there. A brooding wine, tannic. 50% whole cluster gave lots of dark spice. Needs plenty of time.
Chanin 2011 Los Alamos (Santa Barbara County). From this unappellated region between Santa Ynez Valley and Sta. Rita Hills. Bit of mushrooms, sweet red fruit, complex and lovely.
Chanin 2011 Bien Nacido. Much tougher and more tannic, lots of spice. Needs plenty of time, as BNV Pinot always does.
Sandhi 2011 Sta. Rita Hills. Vinous, sappy, rich and sweet in baked cherry pie. Villages-style, young, but will make a sound bottle in a year or two.
Sandhi 2011 Sanford & Benedict. Really classic S&B. Spicy, earthy, red fruit, minerally, dry, complex. Needs plenty of time.
A remark about In Pursuit of Balance (the organization): In response to a question from the audience, Raj seemed to feel the need to defend the group, which perhaps has come under some criticism for the perception that IPOB claims that low alcohol Pinots are "better" than those over, say, 14.0%. To the extent this was the public's perception (it certainly was mine), it cannot have gone over well with many of Raj's (or Jasmine Hirsch's) friends and colleagues. So Raj explained that this is not what they're saying–although if it's not, then it's hard to know just what IPOB's message is, beyond a vague "We're trying to make the most balanced wines we can." Well, who isn't? I do think IPOB at first gave the impression of being an Old Boy's (and Girl's) network, an exclusive club of friends to which outsiders need not apply. They now have a "committee of wine professionals" (from their website) that decides who's in and who's out; that committee consists of Ehren Jordan (Failla, whose wines I've praised to the utmost for years), Jon Bonné (wine editor, San Francisco Chronicle, who's been on something of an anti-high alcohol crusade himself), Raj Parr and Wolfgang Weber (an editor at Wine & Spirits, whom I do not know anything about). This selection committee certainly wouldn't inspire me to ask to join IPOB if I were, say, Rochioli or Williams Selyem, two wineries (among many I could mention) I would hope we can agree make outstanding, balanced, ageworthy Pinot Noirs even though they dare to occasionally sneak over the 14.2% line and even approach –gasp!–14.5%.
The second Pinot Noir panel was named "Heroes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay" and was meant to counter-balance the first by featuring an older generation of famous winemakers: Fred Scherrer (Scherrer), Gary Pisoni (Pisoni), Michael Browne (Kosta Browne) and Geoff Labitzke (Kistler's sales and marketing director, representing Steve Kistler).
These noteworthy names grabbed the audience's attention; mine, too. Here are some very brief remarks. I found the 2 Kistlers (2011 Stone Flat Chardonnay and 2011 Kistler Vineyard Pinot Noir) to be the most classic in the lineup, in the sense that they showed everything you want in Sonoma County wines: acidity, depth, length, dryness, varietal typicity, complexity, ageability, intellectual stimulation and no particular eccentricities.
Fred Scherrer (what a lovely man) chose an older Chardonnay, 2007 Scherrer Vineyard (Alexander Valley) which didn't do much for me at first. In fact I thought it was too old, although I loved his 2007 Russian River Pinot Noir. But after 45 minutes that old Chardonnay emerged from its tomb like Lazarus, alive and vital and remarkable, and I told Fred so. He said, "That wine never shows well right out of the bottle. It needs time" despite its age. California Chardonnay that ages well is so rare; that was one I'll remember years from now.
Kosta Browne showed 2011 "One Sixteen" Chardonnay and 2011 Russian River Pinot Noir. I have never particularly been a fan of KB's wines, suspecting that their popularity is due to the lemming-like tendency of consumers to believe anything some reviewers say (and then to find in the wines what they expected to find, in a gorgeous proof of the theory of the self-fulfilling prophecy). The '11 Chardonnay was, I wrote, "over the top." I did find the Pinot more interesting, "flashy" in fact, and in need of age.
Gary Pisoni's 2011 Lucia Chardonnay was, in a word, dee-lish. I had formally reviewed it earlier for Wine Enthusiast and, while it wasn't in the same league as Lucia's '11 Soberanes Chard (not included in this tasting), it was close, and also ten bucks less. Gary's 2010 Estate Pinot Noir is a young, vinous, serious Pinot with vast tastes of the earth. It is just beginning to throw off its cloak and show some flesh. It needs lots of time.
I'll report another time on my "Pritchard Hill Gang" seminar, which was the last of the festival.
Which is more important for fine wine, terroir or technique?
Is great wine the product of terroir, technique, or both?
Regular readers of my blog know that this question, or concept, intrigues me as do few others. I've frequently quoted the great Prof. Peynaud, who says terroir is Mother Nature; when man brings his or her own touch to the finished product, the combination of the two, he calls "cru." As he expresses it, somewhat complexly, in The Taste of Wine: The Art and Science of Wine Appreciation, "The cru…is the wine-producing property, the chateau, different from its neighbors." At the same time, this definition includes not just physical attributes such as climate, soils, slope, elevation and so on, but "the three activities of production, processing and marketing." And P.R.? Yes, that too.
This definition of terroir is pretty broad; it's one I accept, and if everyone else did, we could cease these eternal hand-wringings on what constitutes terroir. Still, the definition raises exciting and troubling implications: If I take the grapes from a single wine-producing property, divide them into three parts, and give three different winemakers one of those parts to vinify, will the resulting wines all show the terroir of the site? Or will they be so different that we can only explain their distinctions by the technique of their winemakers?
This is precisely what The Cube Project explores. The brainchild of Anne Amie's winemaker, Thomas Houseman, it was formed "to evaluate the impact of winemaking vs. terroir." Anne Amie is in the Willamette Valley; its two partner wineries are Bouchaine, in the Carneros, and Lincourt, down in the Sta. Rita Hills. Each of the winemakers took a single block of Pinot Noir from the estate vineyard in the 2010 vintage, divvied it into three shares and sent two of them (very carefully) to the other two winemakers. Then all three crafted the best wine he or she could.
Two nights ago, the three winemakers–Andrew Brooks from Bouchaine, Leslie Renaud from Lincourt, and Houseman–hosted a dinner at Roy's San Francisco. This was an event not even I, who generally eschew these kinds of trade events, could pass up–and not only because I love Roy's Hawiaiian-fusion food!
There were so many questions to be answered. Could we really detect commonalities between the three wines from each place? I mean, we knew what they were; but, if you didn't, could you have? I personally found all the Anne Amie wines quite a bit higher in acidity than the others, across all three winemakers, so maybe I could have nailed them in a blind flight. The Carneros and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings were closer in personality, with softer textures and brighter fruit.
Did I detect winemaker styles? Not really. I thought that Andrew (Bouchaine) and Leslie (Lincourt) succeeded in making fine wines from all three sites. Thomas, on the other hand, seemed like he struggled with the two California selections. As I told Andrew afterward, it was as if he didn't "get" California, and couldn't quite figure out how to get a handle on the (relative) softness and fruitiness. His own Anne Amie wine was complex and lovely, but the others were puzzling.
Leslie had described her thinking process this way: When the grapes show up at her winery, she tastes them, and then starts thinking how she'll vinify them. I asked Andrew for some of his decision points in the process. Here's a partial list:
Destemming or not?
Crush pressure
Cold soaking
To inoculate or not? And with what?
To pump over or punch down, and how frequently?
What's your maximum fermentation temperature?
When to drain off the juice?
Include press wine?
How long to let the wine settle before putting in barrel?
Cooperage and toast level
Natural malo or inoculate?
Stirring, if any?
Racking, if any?
Time in barrel
You can see how Peynaud's "production and processing" play a huge role in determining the wine's final qualities. Each one of these steps has multiple solutions, and each can dramatically impact the final product.
Thomas made an interesting statement: "It's easier to tell the winemaker's hand when the wines are young. As they age, the terroir shows through." I think that's probably true, although it's also true that bottle variation becomes greater the older the wine is. Meanwhile, it's only fair to say that the statement, made by many fine winemakers, that "the wine is made in the vineyard. I have little to do with it" is untrue, if romantic. The winemaker has everything to do with it; but it's equally true that even the greatest winemaker cannot make fine wine from merde.
Are vineyard designates better than blended wines? Not necessarily. So why do they cost more?
I was reading Peg Melnik's article on Chateau St. Jean's 2010 Belle Terre Vineyard Chardonnay, in yesterday's Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, which reminded me that Chateau St. Jean pretty much single-handedly created the vineyard-designated Chardonnay market in the 1970s, with a brilliant series of wines crafted by their then-winemaker, Richard Arrowood. Belle Terre, Les Pierres and Robert Young were perhaps the best known, but one year, Arrowood produced 9 individual Chardonnays. (He also made vineyard-designated Fume Blancs and Rieslings.)
It got me thinking of how obsessed we are today with single-vineyard wines in California, not just Chardonnay, obviously, but everything, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
The first vineyard-designated Cabernet I ever heard of was Joe Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. It was, back in the day, the most famous Cab in Napa Valley, and if it's lost a little of its luster in the glare of so many newer brands, it's still well-regarded. I don't recall the first single-vineyard Pinot Noir I ever had. The first one I ever reviewed in my wine diary was a 1982 from Louis K. Mihaly, with a Napa Valley appellation. The label said "Produced and bottled by the estate of Louis K. Mihaly," so I suppose that, technically, it was a single-vineyard wine; but I'm talking about vineyard designations on the label. Ditto for the Dehlinger 1985 Lot #2 Pinot I tasted (in 1990, by which time it had gone downhill).
Today, of course, many producers make single vineyard wines. They fetch a higher price, on average, than blended wines. (Even the word "blended" sounds pejorative. We need to come up with a better one.) When you think about it, though, there's no reason per se why a single vineyard wine should be better than a blended one. The reason the Bordelais grew so many different grape varieties was because they knew that blending could fill in the divots that a single variety wine might otherwise have (unripe, too acidic, too tannic, not enough color, etc.).
It was in the 1990s that vintners opted to go bigtime with vineyard-designated bottles. They said they were spurred by the extra complexity that certain sites exhibited, but that's only half the story. The other half was that, by then, it was apparent the public would pay more for single vineyard wines. (We can thank Heitz and Chateau St. Jean for that!) I myself have never quite bought into the theory that the wine from a particular place is necessarily better than a blend. Some critics make much of "wines of place" and, of course, to question the concept of terroir is to hold oneself up for ridicule. However, I don't see how you get around the "divot" theory: in a perfect vintage, a particular site might yield a complete wine. But not all vintages are perfect, and it's only logical to expect that, in other vintages, the grapes from a particular site will be lacking something and could benefit from being blended with the grapes from another place.
Today we have brands that specialize in single vineyard wines: Siduri, Loring, Testarossa and Williams Selyem (among many others) in Pinot Noir, and practically everyone making high-end Chardonnay. (Williams Selyem, Lynmar, Rochioli, Paul Hobbs, Marimar Torres, Martinelli, Talley and Thomas Fogarty in particular come to mind.) There also are an increasing number of wineries that bottle vineyard-designated Cabs. Sometimes they buy grapes from other growers, and sometimes they simply make block bottlings from their own vineyard or from separate vineyards in their own portfolio. (Sometimes it's hard to say what the difference is between blocks from the same estate, and separate vineyards. Witness Diamond Creek.)
As I said, I'm not sure that the best, most wholesome and complete, not to mention satisfying, wines come from individual vineyards. But wine isn't just about hedonism, it's about intellectual fun. For me, as a wine lover and critic, I love these single vineyard or block designation wines because they're so interesting in themselves, even if they're sometimes a little lacking something essential. Just like some people.
The multiple-vineyard Pinot Noir game: gaining ground
Testarossa, Siduri, Williams Selyem, Merry Edwards, Failla, Bonaccorsi, La Follette, De Loach, Bjornstad, MacPhail–what do they (and many other California wineries) have in common?
Yes, they're all Pinot Noir houses (in addition to whatever else they make), but they also play the interesting game of buying Pinot Noir fruit from multiple vineyards and bottling them with vineyard designations. For the wine taster, this presents unique opportunities, as well as challenges.
I suppose the allure of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was such that it was only to be expected serious Pinot winemakers would want to try their hands at expressing the terroir of different vineyards. (I don't mean wineries who own estate vineyards and produce different designations, like Lynmar, Donum, Rochioli or Talley, I mean wineries that buy their fruit. And yes, I know that some of them, like Williams Selyem, own their own vineyards.)
I don't know who was first to play the multiple vineyard game in California. Williams Selyem certainly was an early adapter. Testarossa seems to have followed their model in the 1990s. The entrepreneurial aspect of the template is perhaps most perfectly expressed by Siduri. But over the last 2-3 years, more and more wineries are getting into the act.
The opportunity for the taster in these cases is twofold: (1) to see if you can detect the winemaker's signature across multiple terroirs, and (2) to see if you can detect the vineyard's terroir across multiple winemakers. This latter opportunity is true only of those vineyards large enough to sell fruit to multiple winemakers; among them would be Bien Nacido (among the largest) and smaller ones like Rosella's, Precious Mountain, Olivet Lane and Fiddlestix. This isn't as easy as it seems, though, because winemaker techniques can differ widely (some pick earlier than others) and because of micro-terroir differences in vineyard rows and blocks.
There also is the challenge of precisely how best to taste the Pinot Noirs of these multiple producers when they all arrive in one box. There is no one best way of tasting; each approach has its pros and cons. When Bob Cabral sends me 15 vineyard-designated Pinots, should I taste them in a single flight, or should I segregate them out by appellation and taste them against other Pinot Noirs from those appellations? I don't think there's a hard and fast rule for this. My own preference is to taste them all together–to take a long, leisurely swim in the essence of Williams Selyem, as it were–but I can see where an argument could be made to taste Russian River against Russian River, Sonoma Coast against Sonoma Coast, and so on. It also would be instructive to do flights from the same vineyard from multiple producers, although tactically, this is more difficult for me to set up, as wines from the same vintage may arrive at widely different times across a calendar year or even two, depending on the winery's release schedule.
I will say that tasting these multiple Pinots from the same producer is one of my most enjoyable tasks. Not every wine in the world is bursting with joy. Some, maybe most, are made grindingly, to pay the bills and fill the bellies of the masses. But when a California producer makes a range of Pinots from different vineyards, it's because he wants to and loves to and can. This is the Happy Hunting Ground for the intrepid Pinot producer, and with each pop of the cork, I get to share in his joy.
Incidentally, it's worth noting that few wineries play the multiple Cabernet game. Duckhorn and Nickel & Nickel do, Paul Hobbs a little, Chimney Rock's getting into it as is a new player, PerryMoore, and there are others I could mention. But the multiple Cabernet thing is nowhere near as advanced as the multiple Pinot thing. I'm not sure why that is, but I don't think it's because "Pinot shows terroir more transparently than Cabernet Sauvignon," which is the usual trope (and one moreover I'm not convinced of, not to end a sentence with a preposition). I think it has more to do with the availability of good Pinot fruit versus good Cabernet fruit. While there's more than twice as much Cab planted than Pinot, there's more Pinot going in by a long shot, which increases the availability of fruit. Great Cabernet for sale is restricted pretty much to some well-known Napa Valley vineyards, like Beckstoffer To Kalon and Stagecoach.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Pissouri - the villa to stay in
This villa is everything its website states it to be. The only problem, for those who do not know Pissouri, is finding it. But once found it has everything one needs to stay comfortably in Cyprus.
The (sea) view was spectacular, the three large (and equally good) en suite bedrooms was superb, the place was clean and well appointed, there are shady areas, sunny areas, private areas - and of course the pool.
My wife has restricted mobility but the access for her was easy & good and as one of the bedrooms is downstairs she had no problems in moving about the place or accessing a bathroom (with shower) - except for the steps down to the pool. But that was easily overcome with help from me.
I know Pissouri very well as I used to live there, and this villa is one of the best I have seen in the village in layout for its size. It is ideal for three couples but even better for less numbers. Good value for money.
For those who dont know the village it has all the facilities one could ask for. peace and quiet or social. There are three supermarkets (one ;large and well appointed), post office, tavernas, bars - and so on. The beach is just down the road and as the village is halfway between the towns of Limassol and Paphos it is well placed for more serious shopping. The mountain (Troodos) behind, with its foothills, is easy to access and holds the last remaining untouched areas of the island - and well worth exploring. Hidden local tavernas need seeking out, the valleys and moutains explored and the peace and tranquility savoured.
The villa has much information on where to go and what to do - but seek out some local expats and ask them for advice.

Windows 7 Professional x64
After remote desktop, taskbar stuck in grey color
Hi there
My topic pretty much says it all, but i'll repeat it anyhow
I use my computer regularly while at work, mostly to download torrents etc to be ready for watching when coming home from work. This works flawlessly, but I get a serious thorn in my side whenever I get back home.
For some stupid stupid reason, my taskbar color won't reset back to pitch black like it's supposed to do. This did not happen on my previous installation of Windows 7 (formatted about a year ago). And it did not happen for the first couple of months after reinstalling Windows 7. Same windows 7 (pro x64) etc etc.
To fix this problem, I have to either manually re-run the windows assessment tool in computer properties, or log out my current windows session, only to relog back in again. It's obviously some stuck up file that just doesn't wanna re-initialize.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be caused by? Or have knowledge of any fix? It's driving me nuts.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated

The US auto industry will be giving thanks after a month of sales for November worth celebrating. Automakers were facing a potentially tough month, at least compared to the same month last year, which saw increased sales in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from pent up demand. Volvo, for example, which reported sales fell 31.17 percent, qualified its performance saying, "Excluding a large fleet deal coupled with damaged cars from Hurricane Sandy in November 2012, our dealers actually had a strong November 2013, up 10.97 percent in the retail channel."
Chrysler Group led major automakers with a 16.08-percent rise in sales for November, the Jeep brand being its top performer with a nearly 30-percent sales lift. Credit goes to the all-new Cherokee, which ended its first full month on sale with 10,169 new owners. General Motors came in closely behind Chrysler with sales rising 13.7 percent, followed by Nissan North America (up 10.74 percent), Toyota (up 10.11 percent) and Ford Motor Company (up 7.19 percent). The groups that ended in the red include Honda (down 0.06 percent) and BMW Group (down 0.37 percent).
Among individual brands, Jaguar and Mitsubishi are enjoying some time in the light at the top of our list with sales in November rising 102.81 and 47.61 percent, respectively. Sales for Maserati were even better thanks to the smaller Ghibli joining its lineup, but the brand's overall sales were still below 1,000 units last month. Subaru, meanwhile, continued its impressive and long-sustained growth in November, posting 29.83 percent more sales versus last year.
Check out all of last month's sales figures in the chart below.
*Brands and companies are displayed in descending order according to their percentage change in volume sales. There were 26 selling days in November 2013 and 25 selling days in November 2012, so there is a difference between the change in monthly sales volume and the change in average daily sales rate (DSR) for each brand/company. Also, brands are combined and reported as companies only if their sales figures are released jointly.

WASHINGTON (AP)— Federal prosecutors say District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray was aware of an off-the-books "shadow campaign" to support his 2010 bid and personally requested the funds from an influential district businessman.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Atkinson disclosed the details in court Monday when reading a document that described the activities of the businessman, Jeffrey Thompson, who pleaded guilty to two conspiracy charges.
Atkinson said that "Gray presented Mr. Thompson with a 1-page budget for $425,000. He asked Mr. Thompson to pay for a get-out-the-vote campaign. Mr. Thompson agreed."
The charges against Thompson come as Gray seeks re-election against seven challengers in the April 1 Democratic primary.
Gray has not been charged with a crime and has denied any wrongdoing in the 2010 campaign.

If we told you the cure for frizzy, unruly hair was an old T-shirt, we would expect one of the following reactions: an incredulous laugh, a dismissive scoff or a disturbed stare (or all three, in quick succession). We don't blame you — it's hard to look at that ratty 8th-grade gym class tee and picture it being the hair-taming miracle you've been praying for. But today we're sharing a trick that may just change the hair game forever … and all you'll need is a plain cotton tee.
Here's how it works.
Instead of drying your hair with a towel post-shower, swap it for a T-shirt instead. It's that simple. Why? Professional hairstylist and Redken Artist Isabella Vazquez explains: "When [our hair is wet], it becomes weaker and softer. If we use a regular towel to dry it, the grooves of the towel become aggressors to the cuticle of our hair. Towels absorb all the moisture from our hair, when what we want to do is absorb the excess water without taking most of the moisture that helps our hair from becoming frizzy or creating frizz."
So why swap in a cotton T-shirt? Vazquez says the T-shirt will absorb excess water but prevent your hair from frizzing. "The T-shirt does not have the rough grooves of a towel," she says. "It's a flat surface, so the water sinks into that surface and it slides through the hair instead of [roughing] it up." She also suggests using a microfiber towel; it is lightweight and will give you the same smoothing benefits. This method works especially for curly-haired ladies who are all too familiar with frizzy hair fiascos; unlike a thick, fluffy towel, a T-shirt or microfiber towel will dry your stands without disrupting your natural curl pattern.
Here's exactly how to utilize this trick.
1. After washing your hair, take a cotton tee and use it to gently wring out any excess water.
2. Flip your hair over and bend at the waist. Pull your hair through the opening of your T-shirt so that the opening stretches around your hairline.
3. Twist the T-shirt, turban style, to the end and tuck it underneath the opening at the nape of your neck.
4. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, undo and style as usual.
Some women prefer to put product into their hair before wrapping it up in a tee — experiment and find the combination that works best for your unique hair type!
Have you ever heard of or tried the towel T-shirt swap? Tell us your experiences and thoughts below!

I've been doing this for a couple of years. Since I have curly hair and the curls start to form rather quickly, I only leave my hair in the t-shirt turban for a few minutes, though. I also use t-shirts to "plop" my curly hair. It's like a 20-30 scrunch and drastically cuts down on air drying time.
Hi, yes this sure seems something to try out

Horn and Bone craft is the cultural heritage of the artisans of Paralakhemundi, located in the
Gajapati district
. The artisans were originally carpenters by birth and profession but turned to horn and bone crafts during the reign of Sri Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deb, the Maharaja of Paralakhemundi.
Origin of Horn and Bone Craft
The origin of Horn and Bone Craft has not yet been deciphered. It is believed that K. V. Appa Rao is the father of horn craft in its present form. Maharaja of Paralakhemundi patronized him for his craftworks, especially for a particular variety in which the hollow part of the horns was used as a container. Once the king came across an exquisitely carved wooden crane and was inspired to get a similar one made of horn. The same was carved out of the solid part of a horn which highly pleased the Maharaja. Appa Rao with his innate business acumen assessed the potentiality of the craft and set up a workshop. Efforts were made to introduce new designs and more sophisticated tools. Since then, the very word Paralakhemundi became synonymous with horn craft.
Artefacts of Horn and Bone Craft
Horn articles of Paralakhemundi are mystical and are embellished with superb designs. The testaments of this brilliant craftwork include stylized birds and animals which seem alive. For instances, cranes look as if they could talk if they opened their beaks and the birds appear to be twittering. Delicate works of silver filigree are sometimes added to the horn articles to make them even more appealing. Items like bangles, perfume jars, traditional combs, jewellery, tobacco pipes and many other artefacts are also furnished by this craftwork. In
horn and filigree works are combined to produce decorative jewelleries. Other important centres include Sarai Tarin in
Uttar Pradesh
, Honawar in
. The craftsmen of Thiruvananthapuram are famous for making different kinds of crane birds with horns. Pen stands, table lamps, paper weights, lamp shades, snuff boxes, walking sticks, vermilion contain are other common products. However, the list remains incomplete without the mention of the horn deities, especially
Lord Jagannath
. Influences of both ancient and modern arts can be seen in the artefacts of Horn and Bone Crafts. Flora and fauna, mythical figures and, in fact, the entire gamut of creation can be witnessed in this craftwork.
Making of Horn Crafts
Cow horns, Buffalo horns, stag antlers and tusks are used in horn crafts. The desired object is carved out from the solid part of a horn after soaking it in water. For further shaping, the carved pieces are heated to a specific temperature and are softened. The surface is then smoothed down with the help of a rough file, flat file, half round file or a sharp stainless steel blade. Necessary bores are made to fix appendages. Polishing is the next step in the making of these crafts which is done by rubbing the articles first with sand paper and then with wet Khrshana leaves. The polishing is continued till the horn becomes smooth and shiny. These are then thoroughly cleansed with water and dried in open air. After drying these are further polished with cow dung ash or charcoal ash. Applying limestone paste or white varnish highlights the desired areas. Finally coconut oil is smeared all over the artefact to render a beautiful sheen.
Making of Bone Crafts
Similar to the horn crafts, making of bone crafts also involves a series of elaborate procedures. Raw bones of dead animals are firstly cut into desired sizes and are immersed in water for 12 hours. This process softens the bone. Later these pieces are scrapped and cleaned and are shaped according to the artefact, on a lathe. Carving is done with the aid of a file drill. Polishing, colouring and designing of these articles in varied patterns are the final steps in the making of bone crafts.
Designs of Horn and Bone Craft
Designs on the bone carving exhibit a variety of motifs including floral and figurative patterns. Influences of
Mughal architecture
can also be traced on these crafts. Initially, ornaments were prepared with natural bones, but later use of vibrant colours became an alluring fashion. Some of the artefacts are also adorned with natural stones like feroza,
etc which augment their elegance and beauty.
Numerous articles including jewellery, ornate table lamps, chess-sets, cigarette holders, napkin rings, salt and pepper sets, laughing Buddha, chess sets, animal figures, decorative plaques, bridges of animals, paper cutters, tooth picks, hair pins, bangles, lockets, necklaces, figures depicting Indian dances etc are the mesmerizing manifestations of Horn and Bone Crafts. The charm of this craftwork fascinates people not only of the county but also of different parts of the world, irrespective of age groups and cultural backgrounds. With the help of a number of adept artisans, India has acquired considerable fame in Horn and Bone Crafts, all over the world.

Hola Mis Amores!
Last night was my Queen of the Universe event, and I am so happy with the turnout. We had a full house of supportive and loving friends, family, and fans. I am truly thankful!!! I want to especially thank my beautiful friends and Housewives, Kyle and Lisa, who supported me. It meant the world to me that you were there and served as judges to decide the Queen of the Universe 2014.
Last week I told you all that I would make an announcement at my event. I am proud to say that all the hard work and the efforts in my charity will pay off this year as I am opening my first Kindergarten for children in need in Senegal, Africa. Like I said last night at my event, I can't wait to see the smiles of all the children who so deserve a chance to a better future, which we can only grant them through education. That has always been my dream and I thank God that soon it will become a reality.
Now on to the reality of RHOBH: By now I just feel sad for Brandi. Instead of thanking God for all her blessings, she is the eternal victim that continuously back stabs everyone in her life.
As you all saw. . .I let her speak and finish what she had to say, but as usual she doesn't repay me with the same kindness she receives and cut me off every time I was speaking. I guess no matter how many books you sell, you can never buy class.

Lucy Li, 11, youngest qualifier for Women's Open
By The Associated Press
(AP) -- Lucy Li has become the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open by winning the sectional qualifier at Half Moon Bay in California.
The 11-year-old Li shot rounds of 74-68 on the par-72 Old Course on Monday. She will surpass Lexi Thompson as the youngest qualifier in the U.S. Women's Open, which is June 19-22 at Pinehurst No. 2. Thompson was 12 in the 2007 Open.
Beverly Klass played the 1967 Open when she was 10. There was no qualifying.
Li, of Redwood Shores, California, already has a big win on her resume. She captured the girls 10-11 division at the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt contest at Augusta that preceded the Masters this year. She beat second-place qualifier Kathleen Scavo by seven strokes at Half Moon Bay.

"I used this with a picture of our 3 month old son as his birth announcement and people loved the fact it was a unique birth announcement and loved the sentiment of "Thanks". I added a cute photo and quote about our younger son from our older son on the back which was also a hit. Quality was great as always - photo was so clear it was almost too perfect (could see every little skin detail since it was a close-up). Paper nice and thick."
"I ordered this design because it really says it all. I'm so very thankful... for my sweet baby boy. I added a cute portrait on the front and two pics of him eating his first solids on the back. These will be a hit with the Grannies and Grampies!"

Emery As Your Voice Fades Lyrics
Last updated: 11/24/2013 05:49:22 AM
Somebody please tell me
What am I suppose to do?
You've died and I'm here
Thinking that I hear your voice
But it's somebody else
It's always somebody else
Why did you die?
Don't leave me please
I beg you God tonight bring me peace
I'll never sleep without
The dreams of you alive here with me
Alive here with me
The brightness left your eyes
As I held your face
Don't tell me it's the right time
And your last words will sustain me
Until my end
Until I see you again
Whitness of changes
Unto My Hands
My Face
I am left wanting
Why is this happening?
Why have you been taken away?
I'm tired
I just wanna go home
Your words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
I'll wait to (I'll cling to) remember you (forever)
And what you have (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
Could never be forgotten
The chains (why) of death (today)
Are falling (away), but my heart still beats
It longs for (why) the day (did you die)
When we will be as one, one, one
Thanks to email@example.com for submitting As Your Voice Fades Lyrics.

i think of... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/11
I lost my brother this past July to stomach cancer. I was there with my other brother and my mother and father, two aunts, and a cousin. All I can really remember is that there is my mother who is holding her first born child singing the same lullaby that she used to sing to him to put him to bed back in 1969. I can't stop crying. When I hear this song all I can think of is her. My mom has been through so much with this. I sometimes don't think it's real. I miss my brother terribly....
Beautiful | Reviewer: Kat | 10/17/10
I just began listening to Emery as a friend of mine loves them, and their music, especially this song really hits me in my heart.
They are truly gifted individuals, and I know my music and vocals can never truly measure up to them. For a gift, I am singing this song for someone who had passed away the day after my birthday. I barely knew her, but she was very sweet and loving. My beloved music teacher, the one who convinced me I had a gift, also died the same day as her. I hope my voice can reach both of them in Heaven. R.I.P. Shelley and Mr. D, keep singing to the angels.
---I miss you..♥ | Reviewer: AeMyThEsAnT*** | 6/27/09
My best friend died...he was shot 6 times and i held him as he bled to death and watched him die helpless...the ambulance was to late for him. and for those ppl who r gonna get pissy, no im not trying to "out do" everyone elses losses...i just miss him and idky but sometimes it feels better to talk to a complete starnger about i tthan someone that knew him....if someone can explain that please do...he was 17, like..my big brother he was always there and he sang me to sleep when i had no one @ the ages of 6+...i was 14 when he died...i am 15..he died last year sept 2...RIP ( PS. do not rep bloodz and kryps..you dont know what somebody else is losing) ♥
healing trough music | Reviewer: Daniel | 5/25/09
This song is helping me through a tough and difficult time. It helped to express an emotion that ive never knew or felt. that emotion comes when someone you love or hold close to passes unexpectedly may it be from an illness, accdent, homicide, or suicide. thanks to these lyrics ive got trhough it. Thank you emery for being the voice that balanced my soul.
Awesome | Reviewer: Karrah | 2/12/09
I didn't really feel like this song was totally profound I just loved the way it hits home for me and many others. My little brother just died-he was only 14 and I miss him everyday. It seems emery can relate to people on every level through any of their gifted music
Speechless | Reviewer: Caleah | 2/9/09
The first time I heard this song I was in the middle of class listening to my friend's iPod and it related so much to me at that time, I had just lost my best friend Danee to a collapsed lung. And I started crying in the middle of class. And it was so perfect. I rarely cry and I hadn't yet mourned my friends death because I was trying to be such a strong person. But this song brought out everything I felt towards him. I'm forever thankful for this song and the memories it leaves with me.
touching | Reviewer: Allen | 1/24/08
i love emery and i usually pull up the lyrics to every song that really catches my ear and this one did. after reading it i realized how much more relevance it had to me and a recent situation of losing my best friend in a car accident. i love this song and all of emery's work. you can feel the passion in the music
A Real Meaning | Reviewer: Maddiy | 12/23/07
as people may judge others who listen to music like Screamo,punk rock,metal,or anything relevent to that. they do not understand the feeling and care that is put into the lyrics they heard loud noises and headaches coming,people lik eyou and me can apprichiate yet every word of theses songs and somtimes even use them as a way to recover from aharsh event in a harsh life!
somtimes music is for entertainment but to me music is just another thing that has pushed me though this tretchorus life i lead,this bad has gotten me through many nights i didnt think i would have woken up from and that is why im here to say I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Filter needles for glass vials? - page 4
by jrsmrs | 19,650 Views | 40 Comments
Does your facility have/use filter needles for meds in glass vials? We were taught to use them in school, but I've never actually seen them on any floor I've been on, so I just do without.... Read More
- 0Aug 26, '11 by subeeQuote from IVRUSNobody monitors gas exchange like anesthesia. We monitor oxygenation and ventilationi in real time. Since millions of ampules are opened and administered daily, surely there would be thousands of reports in the anesthesia literature. We are using 1cc., 2cc. and 5cc. amps so maybe size does matter.Well, not 'hearing about it' doesn't necessarily equate to best practice. When a glass ampule is broken, thousands of glass shards fall into the medication. If that medication is given intraveneously, think of how problematic that is to the smooth endothetial surface of the tunica intima in the blood vessel. Okay, so not giving it IV? Now all those glass shards are left in my butt However... The main aspect is where are those glass fragments ending up... well, prior to many, many nurses using them in todays health care.. on autopsy, the lungs were filled with granulomas as the body tried "walling" off the glass... How's that affecting gas exchange...Hmmm.
- 0Aug 26, '11 by ~Mi Vida Loca~RNYes we have them and use them. I very rarely have a medication that needs one. I think I have done it twice since starting.
- 2Aug 26, '11 by MunoRNQuote from subeeWhat's common practice in anesthesia hardly defines good practice. A survey by AANA found that 1 in about 30 Nurse Anesthetists said they use the same needle and or syringe on multiple patients, a practice that has resulted in multiple cases of hepatitis and other blood-borne disease transmission in recent years. And that's how many of those surveyed openly admitted to this practice, how many more at least knew enough to say they didn't do it?In 30 years of giving anesthesia, I've probably opened about 20,000 ampules without a filter..as does every other anesthesia practitioner and have never heard of or read about glass shards being identified as problematic in real life. Oh good grief, I hope the committees that write the cook books to micromanage every aspect of our practice never hear about this one!
Quote from subeeI'm not sure how you think your monitoring will explicitly show glass shards, do you have a "glass shard indicator light" on your equipment. Otherwise, you're unlikely to differentiate any immediate effects of glass shards from normal fluctuations in respiratory status, particularly since the effects are more along the lines of chronic inflammation, which takes days begin developing.Nobody monitors gas exchange like anesthesia. We monitor oxygenation and ventilationi in real time. Since millions of ampules are opened and administered daily, surely there would be thousands of reports in the anesthesia literature. We are using 1cc., 2cc. and 5cc. amps so maybe size does matter.
Ampoule size does matter, but it doesn't mean your not injecting glass shards with small ampoules; one study showed that 22% of syringes drawn up from 1ml ampoules contained glass shards and 39-56% drawn up from 2ml vials contained glass shards.
This article from AACN sums up what we know about the effects:
"The potential risks associated with intravenous administration of glass particles are based on animal studies, though similar risks would apply equally to humans. It has been shown that glass particles cause inflammatory reactions (eg, phlebitis) and granuloma formation in pulmonary, hepatic, splenic, renal, and intestinal tissue. This represents a significant risk of an adverse patient outcome."
Thanks to filter needles, you have the choice to not inject glass shards into a patient, why would you not take advantage of that option other than laziness and a lack of respect for your patient's basic right not to be injected with glass shards. Would you feel comfortable telling your patients that you could filter out the glass particles if you wanted to but you chose not to?
- 0Sep 10, '11 by opossumQuote from Butterfly2625I've twice used the alcohol wrapper to open an ampule and have still managed to cut the same finger both times, on either side! The first one required a pressure dressingSmall hint of advice: When breaking the neck of the ampule, use the cover of the alcohol swab so you don't cut yourself.

Since millions of ampules are opened and administered daily, surely there would be thousands of reports in the anesthesia literature. We are using 1cc., 2cc. and 5cc. amps so maybe size does matter.
- 0Sep 13, '11 by OgopogoLPNI always use a filter needle when drawing up from a glass ampule. I use a regular blunt fill needle when drawing from a vial, then change to correct gauge and lenth needle.
- 0Sep 13, '11 by PetiteOpRNI always do off the field (epi, neo/poly).
We don't have sterile filter needles, so I can't use filters on the field (ie to draw up methyl methacrylate).

The Canadian Potter & Perry also mentions that you can use a filter needle when drawing up meds from vials, to avoid pieces of rubber getting into solution. Thoughts about this? I haven't researched this one yet.
- 0Mar 17, '13 by Racer15I would never draw up a med from an ampule without a filter needle, you never know when a tiny bit of glass might break off into the medication.. And yes, when doing an IM injection, I always use one needle to draw up the drug, and a separate one to administer the injections. And I sure hope the nurses giving me shots do the same!
