The Spokesman-Review
SPOKANE — A halftime summit was held at Albi Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Mike Leach overseeing a group of inconsistent and underachieving football players whom he said suffered — as the coach has grown fond of saying — from "performance anxiety."
The second half of the annual Crimson and Gray spring game was full length instead of using a 30-minute running clock as planned.
"We didn't get our work done the first half," Leach said, "so we were going to play a full second half. Which we did."
The lethargy ended and the Gray team emerged with a 22-21 victory before a crowd of 8,340 after third-string quarterback Jesse Brown threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks before completing a two-point conversion pass to Theron West for the win.
Expected starter Connor Halliday completed 38 of 58 passes for 406 yards, three scores and was intercepted twice. Austin Apodaca was 27 of 45 for 279 yards, ran for one score and threw for another.
• Auburn fans said goodbye to the two oak trees at Toomer's Corner with one more toilet paper celebration following the spring game. An A-day-record crowd of 83,401 watched the Orange team defeat the Blue squad 35-14 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in coach Gus Malzahn's first spring game.
• Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron passed for 223 yards and a touchdown but was also intercepted twice in the Crimson Tide's spring game before 78,315. McCarron's White team won 17-14 over the Crimson, led by the first-team defense.

The Queue: Attunement was awesome {WoW}
Aug 23rd 2011 12:00PM reading this question and the different possible pronunciations has lodged a moment from a jeff dunham skit with peanut... now i can't stop hearing "jeff-fa-fa. dun-HAM." over and over in my brain. thanks, professor ;)
The Queue: One-man WoW instances {WoW}
Aug 16th 2011 11:21AM this happens to me quite often on my hunter since i always have "track hidden" up. i don't use any macro for this kind of scenario, just hit tab as quickly as possible. sometimes i get 'em, sometimes i miss.
The Queue: I'm for Deathwing {WoW}
Aug 11th 2011 12:49PM i've always pronounced it "shah-muh'n" but have heard plenty of people use "shay-min" too..
in fact, if i'm not mistaken, didn't ragnaros call thrall "little shay-min" in the firelands trailer?
so i'd say both are acceptable.

Aug 3rd 2011 12:20PM our little guild on lothar is much like amandakp has described as well - nice group of casual adults. some of us are experienced raiders, some have never set foot in one, but there is definitely a desire to get our numbers up so we could run on at least a semi-regular basis.
honestly, though, if you're unsure i would suggest trying the guild finder. its pretty helpful, and by laying out all their basic info, it affords you the opportunity to research guilds you may be interested in and find out if they're the kind of relaxed group you're looking for.
Drama Mamas: Rivals for love {WoW}
Jul 29th 2011 4:35PM lirriel, i'm inclined to agree with snuzzle.. i don't let the "dudes" or "bros" get to me, just let it roll of your back. i merely brought it up before as a chuckle, which is usually how i'll deal with it. i'll whisper another guildie who knows i'm a chick and say something like, "heheheehe, dude thinks i'm a BRO!" and that's about all the thought i give it.
there's nothing wrong with being bothered by rape jokes or any other kind of inappropriate language. i'm going to "me too" with snuzzle's take again and say that if people in your guild are saying things like this then either ask them to stop or find a new group to run with. you shouldn't have to listen to it, and if they're your friends they'll respect that. if they think you're trying to get attention you don't need 'em in the first place.

Jul 29th 2011 2:26PM outis, women in WoW may not be as scarce as you assume.
i am a chick and know plenty of chicks in RL who also play. one girlfriend actually plays male characters so she doesn't get hit on.
i take particular amusement in the fact that most of the guys in my guild often assume i, too, am a guy, calling me "bro" and "dude" all the time. does this mean i play well or something? perhaps i should take it as a compliment?

Airbus has fitted the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB powerplants to its first flying A350 prototype, and is also installing the aircraft's auxiliary power unit.
A350 MSN1 is to undergo ground tests and painting over the next few weeks before being handed over to the airframer's flight-test team for ground runs.
Airbus has yet to finalise a maiden flight date, simply saying it is aiming to fly the twinjet "in the summer".
"With the installation of its engines and also the auxiliary power unit, MSN1 becomes essentially a 'completed' aircraft," says the airframer.
Airbus adds that the engines, which were certificated in February, have been undergoing preparation for installation with UTC Aerospace Systems. The APU, designated the HGT1700, has been developed by Honeywell.

Kingston-Seattle foot ferry costs public $35,000 for each rider
After a quarterly review revealed the foot-ferry has drained more than $1 million in Port of Kingston reserves and is on track to burn $52,000 a month for the rest of this year, the three-member Port Commission is considering shutting it down and selling off the two 149-passenger boats.
Seattle Times staff reporter
At the end of each workday in downtown Seattle, Dan McDougall walks two blocks and boards the SoundRunner passenger ferry to Kingston. His 50-minute ride comes with free Wi-Fi and $3 premium beer. It gets him home 40 minutes faster than the Washington State Ferries route via Bainbridge Island.
It's an enjoyable commute, but one that has attracted so few riders in its first 18 months of operation that taxpayers are subsidizing each passenger at a rate of about $35,000 a year.
After a quarterly review this month revealed the foot-ferry has drained more than $1 million in Port of Kingston reserves and is on track to burn $52,000 a month for the rest of 2012, the three-member Port Commission is considering shutting it down and selling off the two 149-passenger boats.
"It's bleeding money pretty bad," said commission Chairman Marc Bissonnette. "We were really hoping that we could get to a higher level of passengers before now."
Kingston is a tiny town on the north Kitsap Peninsula known mostly for its ferry run to Edmonds. It's growing, and recently added a dry cleaner, but life there is timed by the ferries that pull in and out of the docks, tying the community to economic lifelines on the mainland.
The Port of Kingston owns a marina and leases its ferry dock to the state ferry system. In 2007, after a privately run passenger ferry to Seattle failed, a group of commuters wrote a grant for the Port to get $3.5 million for a ferry that could make two daily trips to Seattle. They got the federal grant — and bought two boats.
Money-losing ferry lines are a familiar story around here, and now that the SoundRunner has joined the list, riders and taxpayers are at odds about how much subsidy the ferry deserves and who will be to blame for its expensive demise.
"It's indefensible at the current subsidy and ridership level," said Nels Sultan, a regular rider who helped apply for the grant five years ago. "It's very sad. ... The support is falling apart, not just for the money, but for the fumbling and mismanagement by the Port."
Sultan says the Port bought boats that were too big and has run them too often. The line has struggled with boat-engine problems, management turnover and a reputation for being undependable. The first SoundRunner started with great fanfare in October 2010, but then the boat broke down and had to be repaired a month later. It didn't start running again until the end of May.
Signage, Sultan said, is so bad that the ferry is "kind of a secret."
The schedule isn't coordinated well with the buses on the Kitsap side, sometimes leaving riders stranded if the boat is running late, McDougall said.
Perhaps most limiting is the fact that government employees with subsidized Orca transit cards can't use them on the SoundRunner. If the SoundRunner qualifies next year, the cards will start working in October.
Port officials couldn't be reached to respond to these specific complaints.
On average this year, about 20 people have taken the boat from Kingston to Seattle in the morning, and between 30 and 35 ride it back in the evening. The people who ride it disparage the state ferry as a "cattle car."
Desperate to draw new riders, the commission decided to lower the fare from $7 a ride to $5. But it might be too late. The Port budgeted $200,000 a year for the first few years to help the boats get started. That hasn't been nearly enough. In just the first three months of 2012, almost all the money set aside for the year has been spent: $176,704. Port staffers expect to lose $441,536 more by the end of 2012.
The commission will consider three options Monday: keep going for now and reconsider in the fall, quit and sell the boats, or change to a summer-only schedule.
"I actually really think it would be a tragedy if the commission pulls the plug prematurely," said Sandy Taylor, who drives a van pool to Hansville each day from the ferry dock. She wants the Port to extend its commitment to the ferry — at least for a while.
"We're not asking the commission to grant an unlimited amount of money for all time."

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack noted the importance of developing a deeper understanding of agriculture's role in the future of energy, innovation and economic growth during his talk on September 4, 2014 at Arizona State University. Secretary Vilsack expressed the need to reduce U.S. reliance on fossil fuels and further research and development of biofuels and other renewable energies. The lecture was a part of the Sustainability Series at ASU's Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability .
Arizona State University has long taken action in shaping Arizona's energy future. In the next iteration of this endeavor, Gary Dirks, director of LightWorks, the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3) at Arizona State University, has been named a member of the Governor's State Energy Advisory Board.
Next week the White House will host the first Africa Leaders' Summit. The summit will focus on expanding U.S. support for Africa's democratic development and solidify America's commitment to the African people. The summit is a good opportunity for U.S. government aid agencies like the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to integrate new innovative solutions to water, energy, transportation and livelihood issues into their foreign aid programs.
The Algae Testbed Public Private Partnership (ATP3) was recently highlighted in an Algae Industry Magazine article for their series of specialized industry workshops. The ATP3 workshops welcome professionals, students and other interested individuals to learn about an array of algae-related topics by hands-on activities that links theory to practice. The workshops are organized to provide educational, training, and networking opportunities to push the algae industry forward.

"I ordered this invitation for a birthday party with the pearl shimmer and it really added that extra pop to the invitation. Quality of the paper was great and so was the print. Delivery was quick"
"This is a great quality invitation. Particularly liked that the paisley design was carried to the reverse side of the card. The colors made for a pretty presentation. I used this card for a 90th birthday luncheon--the only suggestion for improvement would be to change the the color of the personalized print section--it is a little hard to read for "older" eyes."
"Super fun Summer Party invite...we chjose the Coral color and w the fun die cut pattern it looks like a Sun! Great way to convey our love of Summer and anticipate a super fun party..We use Tiny Prints for all our events, and every year we get so many compliments on the invites. We ordered the thick paper stock...so great I think our guests can use these as coasters! And of course, service w Tiny Prints is always perfect.! 5 Stars Again!"
"The cards are of great quality...the order shipped so fast, I could not believe it was printed and delivered so quickly. Very happy with the quality and promptness."
"We did a destination wedding and this card was perfect for our reception that we are having back home. Turn around time was quick and I will be ordering more cards in the future."

The Apache Junction couple whose nearly 200 animals were seized by authorities in February will not be allowed to regain custody of their family dog, a judge ruled this week.
Apache Junction Municipal Court Judge David Alexander ruled in a civil hearing Wednesday on a request by Apache Junction residents John Michael and Lorraine Alltop to reclaim a dog that had been seized, along with about 185 other animals, in connection with a pending criminal animal neglect case. The Alltops were hoping to have their Great Dane, named Jaguar, returned to them, but Alexander denied their request, according to Apache Junction City Attorney Joel Stern.
Police were called to the Alltops' home in early February and found a menagerie of sickly, filthy and distressed animals littering the 1 1/4-acre property. Four animal control officers located 47 dogs, 96 rabbits, 18 chickens, 13 goats, six horses and other assorted animals.
Some of the animals were in such poor health that they had to be put down.
According to Stern, Judge Alexander's ruling Wednesday was based in part on the testimony of Dr. Eva Decozio, who said Jaguar had been suffering from anemia, parasitic worms, ticks, an ear infection, an enlarged spleen and intestinal inflammation when the dog was taken into custody.
Those conditions could have been prevented or treated by a veterinarian, Decozio testified.
In accordance with the judge's ruling, Jaguar will remain in the custody of Apache Junction Animal Control until the dog can be placed up for adoption or transferred to the Humane Society or another approved animal rescue agency.

Anti-GMO Activists Win Victory On Hawaiian Island
samzenpus posted 1 year,26 days | from the not-in-my-bowl dept.
510biobricks writes "New York Times reports on how the county council on the Big Island of Hawaii banned GMOs. 'Urged on by Margaret Wille, the ban's sponsor, who spoke passionately of the need to "act before it's too late," the Council declined to form a task force to look into such questions before its November vote. But Mr. Ilagan, 27, sought answers on his own. In the process, he found himself, like so many public and business leaders worldwide, wrestling with a subject in which popular beliefs often do not reflect scientific evidence. At stake is how to grow healthful food most efficiently, at a time when a warming world and a growing population make that goal all the more urgent.'"

A few days ago I saw love and honor in an excellent form. The event happened quickly – just in front of me – and I was impressed.
Because so much "bad news" is seen on TV, my hope and wish are to be surprised one day when all TV stations will be showing the "good news" rather than five to six minutes each day of murder, arson, rape, robberies, drug deals gone bad, vehicle accidents, prison breaks, etc. Enough is enough of the bad news.

Ask Slashdot: How To Ask For Equity In a Startup?
Considering employment (349 comments)
I have worked for startups and I think directors either give high hourly (and overtime) pay to contractors or employee pay with a stock-option plan issued every year and awarded on a five year term or something like that to keep you employed there long term. In other words, you are either investing a portion of your time and will share in the success or not. Don't be surprised if they only have those two scenarios available. Don't take this the wrong way but it's worth pointing out that nobody is indispensable. Jobs, Gates, Obama, etc, will all be dispensed one way or another and it won't spell the end of their respective organizations.

The art of the red zone carry
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- It's amazing how a 1-yard run can turn a poor afternoon into an acceptable one. Or an average day into a great day. When it's a short touchdown plunge, of course.
In the fantasy world, a touchdown run, even one from an inch away, is worth six points or the equivalent of 60 yards rushing. Or 150 yards passing in most leagues.
On Sunday, there were four examples of the 1-yard TD run changing the entire outlook of a player's fantasy performance.
Sunday night saw Houston's Arian Foster struggle for every yard against an inspired Green Bay defense. In fact, he averaged just 1.7 yard on 17 attempts. But fantasy owners were buoyed by two 1-yard carries into the end zone and the Texans star running back finished an awful evening with a not-so-bad 16 fantasy points.
Buffalo's Fred Jackson and Washington's Alfred Morris owners also turned sub- par performances into mediocrity by way of the 1-yard run.
Meanwhile in Baltimore, Ray Rice added two 1-yard touchdown runs to a very average 106 combined yards from scrimmage to finish the day as the No. 2 running back for the week behind the New York Jets' Shonn Greene.
There have been players in the past who made their living primarily with the 1-yard TD run.
In 2010, San Diego fullback Mike Tolbert scored 11 times, none from more than eight yards out and six times from the 1-yard line. He finished the season as the No. 19 fantasy running back.
Back in 1984, Pete Johnson arrived in Miami to join the Dan Marino aerial circus. While Johnson rushed for just 159 yards that season, he scored nine times. The longest of the nine touchdown runs was three yards.
And, of course, there was the case of "The Bus," Jerome Bettis who turned it into an art form. A great runner early in his career with both Los Angeles and Pittsburgh, his final few years in the "Steel City" were as a red zone specialist. Over his last four seasons he failed to crack the 1,000-yard mark and averaged just 696 yards a season, but scored 38 times to keep him as a viable fantasy running back. In 2005, his final season, he rushed for just 368 yards, but scored nine times and was still an RB3.
If you are desperate for running back help due to injury or bye weeks and can't find a quality guy off the waiver wire who will rush for 100 yards, try searching for the guy who will be given the ball at the 1-yard run.

Has anyone ever been successful with growing plumeria cuttings in straight perlite? I'm not new to plumeria and know about other methods but my cuttings keep rotting in soil. So I'm trying something different. Does anyone have any tips? From what I've been able to find online they say to just plant them in dry perlite and that's what I did. I'm just trying to avoid rot. I'm in Southern California and people grow them with ease here and they just say to, "stick it in the ground and it will grow." For me I stick it in the ground and it rots. I've tried cuttings from different people and they all have died, so I know they weren't just bad cuttings. Kinda lost here. Does anyone have any new alternative methods other than like water rooting or rooting in rocks/perlite. Maybe a certain step like not watering or something. Anything. Thanks. I'm kinda in need of a fast response because I don't have that much of summer break left so I wanna get them started before summer ends. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am sorry that you are having so much trouble. I root cuttings in cactus mix that I buy at Home Depot. I live in So California also but the key is that you water once and then don't water again. Sometimes it takes a very long time to get them going. I also put them in a place that they will get lots of sun. The ones that I started in Feb and March, most have roots already but a few still don't. The ones I started later seem to do much better when I mist them a little once in a while. Here is a picture of some of them that I am rooting. Water is not their friend at this stage. Waiting is the hard part but it will happen. Barb |
- Posted by Pondplant_kid 9 (email@example.com) on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 19:53
Thanks. Does rot look like black around the side of the plant. I see black not in the center but behind the ring that separates the center and the sides. Another thing. I bought a plumeria at Home Depot and it is soft. I looked at it's roots when I replanted it and it looked like it had a little brown. Not a lot. Will it still live? Thanks. |
Keep trying, you'll find what will work for you. Some people can look at a cutting and get it to root, other people keep trying different things. I finally got good at rooting with the baggie method, using MG potting soil and perlite on a heat mat. During the summer, I stick cuttings in pots with mature plants and they get watered regularly. But I would not go that route with a hard to root cutting. |
I like rooting in water, and also potting cuttings up with a raw egg. I have heard that there is no scientific evidence that proves that using the egg actually speeds up the rooting process but I have to say, my trees that I do use the raw eggs with, develop big healthy roots! I have had some frustrations with rooting myself. I have a Cot de Oro that has been trying to root for over a year now. The worst were two dark reds I got from Hawaii. One never rooted, and the other rooted in a year and a half! Andrew |

Intel Demos Phone and Tablet In New Mobile Chip Push
Re:Why we might possibly care (99 comments)
I'm becoming convinced this is the future direction. It sure would be handy to have a limited phone view and then a full-scale desktop interface when plugged into a docking station; a tablet like monitor could be plugged in as a secondary docking station. In either case the processing core is the size of a mobile and the interface is exchanged.

Intel Gigabit NIC Packet of Death
Counterfeit Intel NIC? Apparently not. (137 comments)
I'm glad Mr. Kielhofner contacted Intel about this issue and had Intel confirm the bug.
Some years ago I had been diagnosing similar server NIC issues, and after many hours digging, Intel was able to determine the fault was due to the four-port server NIC being counterfeit. Damn good looking counterfeit part! I couldn't tell the difference between a real Intel NIC and counterfeit in front of me. Only with Intel's document specifying the very minor outward differences between a real and known counterfeit could I tell them apart.
Intel NIC debugging step #1 = verify it's a real Intel NIC!

As you know I don't tend to blog much about anything inparticular. Just what I feel like talking about and what I think is relevant too.
One site I recently came across is: Loud up this is a company that promotes new music and helps new bands and artists get ready for a career in the music business. Helping connect them to potential producers, increasing their fan base and generally doing an all round good job. I'd also recommend following them on twitter here.
So what do they actually do?
Well its quite simple yet difficult….Because that made sense.
They promote small (generally unknown) artists and bands on their website, with the primary aim of increasing the recognition of these artists. Its totally free to join and if you are cool enough (unlike me) to be in a band or simply want to promote yourself I recommend joining. The site is expanding at a crazy pace and is likely to explode in the media once one of the artists are signed from there. Get in whilst you still can for free!
Keep up the good work guys.

Olympics: Governor, Legislature honor Steven Holcomb
Bobsledder Steve Holcomb on Monday gave the Legislature a golden, or at least double bronze, thank you for its support of winter sports.
Wearing his two bronze medals from the Sochi games, he gave lawmakers thanks for their support of winter-sports facilities in the state following the 2002 games, saying "the training time and the facilities are amazing."
He noted that Gov. Gary Herbert told him earlier that if Utah were a country, it would have finished ninth in the medal standings at the Sochi games. "It goes to show you have important and great" support for winters sports is in Utah, he said.
He noted he helped break a 62-year drought this year for medaling in the two-man bobsled. Also, it was 62 years since the United States had medaled in both the four-man and two-man bobsled.
House Majority Leader Brad Dee, R-Ogden, said the United States was not thought of as factor in bobsledding, "and here we have, in the last two Olympics, a three-time medalist."
Dee called Holcomb "one of the best bobsled drivers in the history of the sport," and part of Utah's Olympic legacy.
— Lee Davidson and Robert Gehrke

I'd like to remind the MCCL that if such an amendment wouldn't pass in South Dakota twice, I'm extremely doubtful it'll pass here. But hey, feel free to pour your money right down the toilet if you wish.
I'm surprised these kind of art controversies still exist. What a lot of these hand wringers forget is, if you disagree with the artist's subject, by all means, don't go and see it.
"God only knows what effects alcohol has in combination with the meds Dayton takes to maintain his tenious grip on reality."

Thanks for the link, but I never considered divorcing MnSpeak from my bookmarks folder. My actual comment was decidedly more milqetost: "Hmmm, I kind of don't like it, like CINF I don't like change, but I guess I can get used to it."

I have a very small shower/toilet room with 8' ceilings and keep going back and forth between tiling the shower up to the ceiling or stopping about a 1' short of the ceiling. My concern is the area is so small it will look odd to have it tiled all the way to the ceiling in the shower unless we carry that tile onto an adjoining wall (which I don't want to do because of cost). The room is only 60" x 77" and the shower runs the length of one wall (60"). I'm using a plain white 10x16 tile with a vertical 12"w accent stripe of pebble stone running down the shower head side of wall. And the same pebble stone for the floor. I'm going to use either a ceiling mounted shower curtain track with 12" hanging chains or just an old fashioned curtain rod. Opinions? |

I highly recommend tiling to the ceiling. I ran white faux marble 12x12 tile all the way to the ceiling in my fairly standard sized bathroom (maybe 6'x6') and it looks so much bigger than it did when the original tile stopped 1' from the ceiling. It draws the eye up and makes the shower look big. |
We have 8' ceilings too, and my little 3x4 shower looks and feels twice that size compared to the old 1970's ceramic tile one that it replaced that didn't go all the way up. -Babka |

I want to know where you get the test to find out your hormone levels. Moved from the big city to a beautiful little hamlet where the air is fresh and the doctors are different. My gyno said the tests are not reliable, and that I still have estrogen because I still have regular periods at age 54. Okay, I'm old and still going, but today I snapped at my wonderful husband, and I cried through supper. It is day 12 of my 30-day cycle. What I can assume is that I have hit bottom on the estrogen tank today. I hear people talking about their estrogen/testosterone/progesterone levels. Where do they get these levels checked? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, what little I know is that you cant reliably test for hormones, cuz they flucuate from minute to minute. Now the naturalist people say you can do it thru the salvia. The test I have seen, test the saliva 3 times a day. I swear sometimes i think it is like finding the little green men. The people that want to believe, believe. I am for finding the answers. I think the way to do it would be to have 2 different labs run those test. Labs that werent paid for my the people that want to sell herbal remedies. I dont know who they are? |

Well, my internist did a blood test for the hormone levels. Wonder how accurate that was! |

My friend had a blood test and it was very helpful, as it showed to her doctor that she was in full blown menopause. She is now on HRT and doing very well. |

My doctor did the blood test for hormone levels and everything is normal, but because of mood swings and joint pain, plus some hot flashes, I tried some Estroven for a week. Haven't had any crying, but boy are my breasts sore! Wonder if it can be harmful to take Estroven if your hormone levels are "normal." Anybody know? |

Young Strategists Forum
Program Description
The Young Strategists Forum (YSF) seeks to develop a new generation of strategic thinkers for an age of constrained resources and mounting international challenges. The program involves seminars, simulations, and study tours, with a focus on the U.S.-Japan alliance and its role in the Asia-Pacific region. Participants are selected through a competitive process, open to emerging leaders—academics, journalists, policymakers, politicians, business professionals, and military officers—between the ages of 25 and 39, from the United States, Europe, Japan, and other likeminded Asian countries. Held in partnership with the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, the program is co-led by GMF Senior Advisor Dr. Daniel M. Kliman and Asia Program Coordinator Sharon Stirling-Woolsey, with Non-Resident Senior Fellow and Princeton Professor Dr. Aaron Friedberg serving as faculty.
For more information on YSF please contact Sharon Stirling-Woolsey.

The Quiet Post-Harvest Season ... Well, Not Exactly.
There isn't a busier time in the wine growing year than the couple of months following harvest. Diana is cajoling the new wines through yeast fermentation, malolactic fermentation, first racking, and into barrels. She's also fine-tuning the blends for last year's wines. The new releases are going out to customers and distributors. Ranch manager Severiano Deloera is putting the vineyards to bed for winter with biodynamic compost, cover crops, and a layer of straw to soften the impact of the rains we've all been hoping for -- and which have in fact quietly begun. We've been walking the vineyards and inspecting each vine, identifying some as sources for future grafting wood, marking some for removal and replacement. Looking at the vines takes time – in our Brothers Vineyard alone there are 22,000 vines in 17 miles of vine row. But the vines tell us so much at this time of year.
2014 Vintage.
As I look back, there are inevitably some tough seasons where you chase after nature at every step. After those harvests you feel you've aged 5 years over six months and you live with uncertainty until bottling. Then there are vintages where everything just happens naturally and easily. 2014 was easy. The grapes enjoyed a drawn-out, cool growing season. They were in perfect condition at the time of picking; ripe, healthy, delicious. We watched the grapes come in and felt energized and excited to see the beautiful, bountiful fruit from the Brothers Vineyard that has been a decade of thoughtful planning and hard work in the making. We were overjoyed to see the Ricos' fruit, with its smallish clusters and lovely waxy bloom. As I watched the fruit move over the sorting table and into the tank, I appreciated and celebrated the auspicious beginning mother nature has given us this year. The wines are now in barrel and I feel confident about the 2014s.
Our friend Yuri Iiyama, wine writer, educator, and television personality, recently visited the ranch with her son, rock guitarist Masashi Iiyama. Yuri has been to the ranch many times – and a number of years ago did us the honor of introducing Snowden wines to Japan, at the time our first international market. (Today we export to Japan, England, Norway, and Sweden.) We're crossing our fingers for Yuri and her family – and all of our other friends and colleagues in Japan – as Typhoon Vongfong makes its way ashore there.
The Once and Future Style.
From time to time, we're approached by people who want to talk about the "style" of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. These conversations mainly imply, "Why don't you heavily extract your wines and leave residual sugar? Your wines would be more uniform and you'd get higher ratings." Both definitely true, but the answer is simple. We're not chasing style – we're chasing terroir and vintage. Some vintages, our unique site gives us huge wines with a lot of fruit and body; other years we're given more delicate wines with less heft but more focus and finesse. We could engineer the latter to be more like the former – but it's difficult to taste terroir behind forced extraction, let alone residual sugar. So we don't. We make wines the way we like them, which means, how they're given to us each vintage. We like huge, fruit-forward Napa Valley Cabernets, but we also like the patrician, restrained, long-lived wines that cooler vintages give us. If huge wines are all you like, this probably won't make sense. But there are a lot of us – particularly in the generations coming up – who believe terroir and vintage trump extraction and sugar.
Harvest Completes.
Our harvest is done – this one intense and lovely. It began August 25 with the Sauvignon Blanc and finished September 20, when we brought in the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lost Orchard Vineyard and the Petit Verdot from the Levi Philander Davis block. The harvest dates were early, but so was spring bloom – on average, there were about 130 days from high bloom to harvest. This compares to approximately 110 days in Bordeaux (where the days are longer during the summer because of the higher latitude). Every wine starts perfect in the winter before its grapes set – from there on, the only change can be downhill. So far, 2014 is perfect.
Harvest Begins.
2014 harvest got underway with our Sauvignon Blanc coming in on Monday the 25th of August. We were so lucky Fantesca, the facility where we ferment and barrel age, was not damaged by the earthquake the day before, and that we were able to pick our grapes at optimum ripeness, a beautiful 22.7 brix, right on my Sauvignon Blanc sweet spot.
Earthquake Report.
We're all safe – family, staff, and other friends. We all had a lot of things break, but for the most part we were very fortunate not to have any damage that couldn't be cleaned up with a broom, shovel, and mop. The exception was Susanne and her husband Matt, who live on the west side of town and lost just about everything in their house that was breakable. The ranch was not harmed. We lost no wine in barrel or bottle, other than in our home cellars. Thanks to everyone who has checked in over the past several days.
"The Return of Cabernet -- California's great wine shows its classic lines."
Jon Bonné's fascinating article in the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, August 3, traces the stylistic journey of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the original legends, to the brilliant come-out wines of the 1970s, to austerity in the early 1980s, to the more extracted wines of the 1990s and oughts. "After a long identity crisis, California Cabernet is becoming Cabernet again," Bonné writes. We're delighted to find ourselves among the producers Bonné describes as "Making wines that reflect the traditional spirit of California Cabernet." We're in a sub-category he calls "ripe but balanced" – along with such distinguished company as Continuum, Dominus, Forman, Kongsgaard, Saddleback, and Spottswoode. If you asked us whether our winemaker (Diana is quoted in the article) sets out to make a "traditional" Cabernet Sauvignon, we would say no – she sets out to faithfully deliver the variety, our site, and the vintage into the glass. But that's of course the same thing.
High Veraison.
The clusters are well on the way to turning red -- continuing their march toward what looks like a very early harvest. The darker berries have already reached the point you can taste them without getting an acid shock. Our farming priority has shifted to strategies allowing the grapes to stay on the vine longer without letting the sugar levels get too high. The challenge: the one sure tool -- liberal irrigation -- is off the table because it can lead to diluted, vegetal tasting grapes. We're left with careful tending of the crop level and canopy. We'll keep you posted.
Wines Available to Members.
One reason to become a member of our mailing list is access to certain wines on a pre-release basis. You'll see we've sold out of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc and the wines no longer appear on our "Wines" page. The next vintages -- the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc -- are scheduled for general release on September 1. However, they are now available to members. Feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for information on how to access the wines and enjoy the 20% member discount.
Red Grapes.
Talk about a fascinating growing year. We've had a remarkable run of warm days in the upper 80s into the lower 90s. Warm but, so far, none blistering hot and no long stretches in the upper 90s -- and, nights have been cool, which we like, because it keeps the train from getting up too much speed. The crop wants as much time on the vine as possible, so cooler evenings extend the ripening process without increasing sugar and hastening the harvest end point. Even so, hints of upcoming veraison are appearing in some of the blocks – the Malbec in particular.
2010 Reserve - Crush Wine & Spirits.
We're sold out of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from our end, but in some areas it is still working its way out thorough the wine shops and restaurants. If you're a New Yorker looking for the wine, Crush Wine & Spirits is a wonderful store on E. 57th that still has the wine on hand and is featuring it at a very competitive price. Among other things, they say "the cool, vibrant profile brings minerality, finesse and a detailed edginess to the wine that makes it really, really impressive." We agree – the 2010 is developing well in the bottle – more weight than the 2008, but like that vintage, distinguished by balance and purity in both mouth feel and aromatics. You can see Crush's full write-up at http://www.crushwineco.com/current-specials/snowden-cabernet-reserve-2010/
Sauvignon Blanc.
Our rare and racy Sauvignon Blanc 2013 will soon be released! More and more of you have taken the time to come visit our property. A highlight for visitors, as for us, is the 1 acre plot of Sauvignon Blanc in the middle of the vineyard we call The Lost Orchard. It is a small, somewhat unruly jewel. At about 800 feet, with the influence of Lake Hennessy at the bottom of the valley below, and growing on very little top soil, this wine has caught attention for its cut, length and mineral texture.
Weather, weather everywhere...
California grapegrowers have been accused of describing every year as the best that's ever been, with the result that you'll notice many of us making a conscious effort not to say things like that. For starters, there is no such thing – some people like sleek, definitive, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignons and others prefer big, rich, fruit-forward ones – so it's the rare growing year that is perfect for every palate. But regardless of the side of the aisle you live on, thus far 2014 is unnervingly propitious. With the exception of four very hot days that appear to have done little harm, we so far have a lovely, sunny, moderately warm summer. Odds are, this will be swept away in the many weeks until harvest, but right now there is the possibility of a season that lets the grapes stay longer on the vine without sugars and resulting alcohols getting too high -- the rare year that pleases both sides of the aisle.
The 2012 reds and 2013 Sauvignon Blanc are bottled. Bottling is a high-pressure milestone for a winemaker and her wines; it is the last opportunity to adjust their trajectory. After 15 months of doing nothing, letting nature's complexities develop under healthy conditions, pre bottling is the only time after fermentation where I act. Everything must be considered; free sulphur, carbon dioxide, turbidity, microbiological landscape, reduction … it is the opportunity do something to make sure a wine is just right. Preparing the wines for bottling is as intense as harvest, though not nearly as fun. But then the noisy day comes to an end and the winemaker's job is done.
Bloom came on quickly, starting around May 1 in the older Cabernet Sauvignon blocks, then the new Brothers Vineyard, followed by the Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Sauvignon Blanc. By May 6, you could smell the perfume in many of the blocks, which meant bloom was well underway -- perhaps 40%. We're pleased it's been a relatively uniform and fast bloom -- a leisurely bloom that slowly moves through the vineyard can result in uneven ripening all the way to harvest, often requiring hand removal of the less mature fruit. It remains to be seen whether bloom was fast enough: around the 12th, daytime temperatures went up, which can cause "shatter" in berries that haven't yet been pollinated -- meaning, they don't develop into grapes. Weather is of course the big variable we're always tracking. So far, yes, we could have used more winter rain, and yes, we could have done without this week's heat, but overall, this spring has been glorious.
Two clusters per shoot.
That's the general rule to keep the crop in balance with the canopy: two fruit clusters on each healthy shoot, which are the new green canes growing out of the buds left from last year's new growth. Vines will sometimes propose more than two clusters -- which seems to be unusually common this year, particularly in our one acre Petit Verdot block (the "Levi Philander Davis Vineyard" block) where many shoots have put out three or even four potential clusters. We're still a long way from having grapes -- it's still frost season; and bloom, set, and the risk of shatter are all right around the corner. But it does look like there will be an extra "pass" through the vineyard -- that's when vineyard workers visit every vine, in this case to trim the extra clusters. This is a much better problem to have than not enough clusters, with all those risks still ahead.
Every time any of us get to be in Texas, we're reminded how important it is to leave your spurs and your preconceptions on the porch. Last week I visited Dallas, Ft. Worth, and El Paso and was once again struck by how many people in Texas know and love fine wines. The larger Specs stores have remarkable wine collections and many have Snowden on the shelf – we've had more wine sales specialists from Specs visit the ranch than from any other state. In related news, we're pleased that Cafe Central in El Paso is adding our Reserve, Merlot and a library reserve to their perceptive and comprehensive wine list.
Our bi-continental winemaker.
The Daily Beast ran an item a few days ago where they said "the wine world is evolving. Tastes are changing, and a new generation of women is on the cutting edge of today's vinous evolution." Diana is among the featured winemakers and talks about her path from "cellar rat" to making wine in the Napa Valley and Burgundy. Describing her lofty status today, she says "I still spit. Sadly, I no longer roll barrels." To see the article, you can go to http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/03/22/yes-women-can-make-great-wine.html
Midway through budbreak -- and Iowa.
Budbreak -- when we pruned in the winter we removed most of the canes that had grown in 2013, leaving just enough of last year's growth to give us the right number of buds on each vine for new shoots to form this year. That ranges from two to thirty buds, depending on the age, health, and circumstances of each vine. In late February, the first buds began to swell and turn fuzzy, then as they begin to burst, they look pink. The Petit Verdot was the first to show tiny leaves in the first week of March. By now, leaves are emerging in all of the blocks -- some are over an inch in diameter. There's more to this than meets the eye: last year budbreak was early but this year is over two weeks ahead of last year. In related news, we just received our license to ship wine to Iowa and the first direct shipments should be hitting the road this coming week.
What a joy to see cover crop in the morning!
If only one could capture the sweet smell in the same way we capture images in photos... These grasses will all be tilled in soon to decompose, giving back Nitrogen and other micronutrients for soil ecology and structure. These brave little sprouts are the foundation for "terroir transparency" in wine.
Pruning is all but complete.
Like many Napa Valley grapegrowers, we are gradually returning to "cane pruning" –- more complex than "cordon training," but allowing more nuanced control of the vines. The only blocks left to prune are the Petit Verdot and the Sauvignon Blanc – one acre each. Both are at tricky developmental stages, so our ranch manager, Severiano Deloera, will be pruning them himself this year.
2013 -- malos are finished, time to blend.
I love the 2013s! What a relief. When you pick grapes on the early side, before they have metabolized all of their malic acid, it's impossible to judge what you've got until after malolactic fermentation. The acidity exaggerates the tannin, plus the carbon dioxide … you pretty much have to just drive in the bung and let nature and time work their magic.
I made it back to the valley from France in December, a week after the last lot finished malo, to find the wines teeming with energy. They were bright, crunchy, had great length, Californian suppleness with edgy character and ample definition to hold your attention.
It was unnerving to bring in Cabernet in the first half of September this year when so many people were extolling extra hang time, but I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Later this month we'll resume trials and continue exploring where we're going with these strong blending components.
Rain has finally come.
Just one storm so far, but enough to completely change the outlook for the 2014 growing season. This year was the first since the family came to the property in 1955 that we've had to irrigate through the winter. Now we can turn off the water and let nature do its work. The roots stay active year-round, so with this rain they will be able to develop in the areas not directly under a drip emitter. The cover crops can grow. The microscopic critters that live in the soil and in the cover crops -- which are essential to field health and, ultimately, wine quality -- can thrive. Every year is a succession of events, beneficial or challenging, that cumulatively inform the wines. One challenge met. On to pruning.

Shiny Reputation shares insights into how responding appropriately to a bad review can send out the right signals to the customers.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2012
Shiny Reputation acknowledges the efforts of AppFolio (along with Yelp) as it shares how a prompt and objective response to the reviewer can benefit the business.
In the world of online reviews, once negative reviews are posted, they cannot be removed legitimately. While negative reviews can spread rapidly and impact businesses, the fact remains that the implementation of a carefully, thought-out strategy to counter the effects of negative reviews can well enable the business to reap the dividends of avoiding a reactive approach.
While the arrival of the internet led to the evolution of novel marketing strategies, the advent of business review sites like Yelp has led to the emergence of a stronger word-of-mouth publicity for businesses. While strong customer relationships can become powerful drivers for the business, bad Yelp reviews can prove to be detrimental as well.
Having the impression that most people post negative reviews on Yelp is a mistaken assumption. 80% of Yelp reviews are 3-stars or higher, with 38% getting a 5-star rating. Bad experiences lead to negative reviews. For example, it could be possible that the reviewer had a bad experience when shopping i.e. maybe the website took an inordinately long time to load. This is something that can be addressed by utilizing a server monitoring service.
When framing a response to the negative review, other things to keep in mind are:
- Avoid taking the review personally and look at it positively. After all, even if someone is posting negative feedback about the business, they are still speaking about the business and if so, their experience can be converted from a negative one to one that glows.
- Post comments that would showcase your interest in setting things right and objectivity.
- Thank the reviewer for highlighting the concern and clearly state your policy, if required.
- Respond at the earliest possible so as to tell the customer — not just the one who posted the review, but even those who will be reading it — that you care that they had a bad experience and want to see how the products or services could be improved.
It is worth remembering that building up a reputation takes a long time. While a bad review can be a setback, it is important not to treat it as being the end of the world. One negative feedback can act as a validation tool for the tons of positive feedback. As a last recourse, business owners could follow the example of Craft & Commerce — a restaurant based in San Diego — and broadcast the bad reviews in the restroom. If nothing else, it will enable the business not to brood over the negative reviews and take them to heart.
AppFolio provides web-based property management software. They also create easy-to-use, web-based software that enables small and mid-sized businesses improve their workflow and thus, save time and money.
By preparing a well-framed response that highlights objectively the concern raised, the reason for the occurrence, the business policy (if applicable) and future course of action, a business owner can appear to be objective, concerned and willing to go the extra mile — all aspects that will endear the readers of the review to the owner, even if the reviewer remains skeptical.
