Folonari Cabernet Sauvignon
- Italy
There is little doubt about the fact that the most familiar red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, seen listed on bottles from more or less every single wine producing country across the globe. Part of the reason for this is the fact that Cabernet Sauvignon is a particularly hardy grape, resistant to both frost and rot, and can grow well in a number of climatic conditions so long as it receives enough sunlight and water. Of course, this is only half the story we cannot ignore the fact that wines made from the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal are prized not only for their strong acidic fruit flavors, spicy and earthy notes and high tannin content, but also for the fact that they age beautifully in oak, resulting in wines which are on another level from those made from lesser grapes. Aged wines made using primarily Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are widely recognized to be the finest in the world. The aging process rounds out the tannins, softens the acidity and allows a wide range of fascinating and complex flavors and aromas to come through, making them an unquestioned highlight of the red wine world.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

My house was built nearly 100 years ago, but a previous owner added a room (by extending the house), not sure when. Shorter version: I'm trying to drill into the outer wall of this room at the height of the attic, but when I drill, instead of sawdust, it's some gray crumbly dust. Then about 3/4" in, the drill bit is unable to advance further. I look into the hole and it looks like the drill bit is trying to go into... metal? Kind of shiny and dented in by the bit. Do I just need to push harder? :oP Longer background info: |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unless you can say what you're drilling into, it's all wild guessing. You are drilling into the exterior wall from the exterior, and you expect sawdust but are getting masonry? Need some more info there. Pics are always nice. There's no other way into the joist space other than through a structural wall? Bits that will drill through rock concrete and masonry and not get thrown for a loop when hitting metal are only a little expensive but they generally need an expensive drillmotor to run them. The real problem is what is that metal, is it rebar or gas pipe or electrical conduit, and so what possibly exciting stuff are you going to hit after going through or into that metal? |

I'd remove the siding. Those 5" hole plugs are going to look horrible on a hundred-year-old house, no matter how you try to disguise them. |
Those are great questions, grubby_me! It never occurred to me it could be a conduit based on how smoothly it seemed to transition from one material to the next, but it's definitely worth looking into in case it actually is a conduit. Other ways I can think of getting into the joist space are: I opted for the external option because I figured those chambers could use ventilation. Cutting holes that lead into the room beneath would just ventilate the hot "attic" air into the bedroom. I'll see if I can get some pics. Hard to get good pics of the bottom of a narrow hole. :oP I'll see if there's anything else I can take pics of that might give clues of what I'm drilling into... |
If it is a flat roof like you say. 99% chance you are hitting a piece channel (L shape metal). Cant you just drill the holes up through the ceiling between the trusses to blow the insulation into? A lot less work repairing and no damage to the outside walls. |
Thanks for the suggestion, hippy! I'll look into that. Meanwhile, you're right, I could drill up through the ceiling to get into the space. My thinking was that most of those spaces have no ventilation (completely enclosed on all sides), so by drilling through the outside wall, I would create ventilation as well as create an insertion point for the blown insulation. My guess is that not having ventilation causes the temperatures to be much hotter, so ventilation+insulation would be cooler than just insulation. However, I am by no means a contractor or even a frequent home-DIY-er... just a guy who's used some tools before and is trying to cool down a room. :oP Okay, I also took some engineering classes in college but I'm sure there's lots of stuff they don't cover in those classes that's important for designing and building houses ha... |

Soffits and roof's need to be vented, not walls. All your doing is opening up avenues, for water, bug and potential rodent infiltration. |
Years ago, tenants at a 19th Century rental house I owned called me--on an icy wintry day, natch--about a portion of a water-soaked ceiling that had fallen into their bathroom knocking the sink off the wall. Turns out a p.o. had insulated the few inches of the flat roof with numerous "ventilation" holes, blew in some insulation and patched. But not very well. I ended up re-roofing the whole thing, after knocking off an unused chimney so there were no pesky flashings to worry about. You're better off forgetting the whole thing. Or at the least, add the insulation topside to the flat roof and re-roof. Before drilling into things you should be sure what they are. Good luck! |

My 1940 house has a 2" galvanized vent pipe for the plumbing that runs in an exterior wall. Based on what I can see of the pipe in the basement and attic, it would be very tough to drill a hole if I picked the wrong spot in the wall and hit that pipe instead of open space. Bruce |
Thanks everyone for the advice so far! Finally took some pics... might not be very helpful. This is an attempt at zooming into where the hole saw cut... |
You can see where I attempted to drill the hole, above the right side of the ladder. To the left is an existing vent. To the right is a lamp, so I'm thinking there's a possibility I could be running into a conduit or something for that lamp. Above the lamp is another vent. |

That was the best cassoulet I've ever had. Z Cuisine's is the second-best, and the more authentic. This version combines a leg of duck confit on the bone, mild sausage (bratwurst some nights, other styles other nights, all fresh and locally produced), stiff white beans, bitter greens and whole cippolini onions gone soft as roasted garlic cloves, all in a thin, oily, almost-but-not-quite-broken tomato broth, muscled up with stock and deeply, richly flavored with the mingled essences of each individual ingredient. It shows restraint born of long practice, an expert's sense of balance, a love of good stock, good product and classical technique. And one bite will remind even the most recalcitrant epicure why the French deserve their reputation as the undisputed masters of cuisine both haute and basse, because there is nothing more comforting, nothing more filling or charming, than a real cassoulet expertly done.
The cassoulet usually appears on the chalkboard that serves as Z Cuisine's menu, a small slate that lists the night's dishes, written out longhand and mashed together so that the change in colored chalk is the only way to tell where one ends and the next begins, then 86'd with a slash as they run out -- but never erased, because there's no better tease than knowing what you could have eaten if you'd only arrived earlier. The roast pork on the bone? Sold out on a Friday night before seven, before the rush even gets going. On a Saturday, no cassoulet, no celeri soup with crème fraîche. The fish is gone, too, but I get the last of the watermelon radish -- fanned, lovely slices of pink and white dressed with dots of mellow mustard -- on the house assiette de campagnard. Dupays had picked up the radishes just that morning at the Boulder farmers' market, and already they're gone.
The assiette is a wonder, a small masterpiece of garde-manger work and cheese-mongery, an overwhelmingly generous combination of locally sourced ingredients and house-made charcuterie. If it were a painting, it would be called "Still Life With Cornichons" and hung in some forgotten corner of the Louvre; as my dinner, it's as if someone called for takeout from some Left Bank bistro and had this Fed-Exed right over. The plate includes five cheeses (a French cow's-milk Camembert oozing from its rind, a local goat Camembert, a chèvre made in-house and topped with a dark, astringent tapenade, a true Muenster, and a hard Basque cheese that tastes of salt and ash and the smell of damp wool); a sweet, red jam that I can't identify; a scattering of olives, both green and black, that have to be chewed off the pit; a pile of acidic cornichons; a thick, dense slab of duck rillette still capped in white fat and tasting of earthy, concentrated, slightly gamey dark meat; and a pâté of duck and pork and wild mushrooms and figs (I think) and maybe olives, too, that falls to pieces at the touch of a fork and that I eat, bit by bit, folded into pieces of a baguette that comes to the table in a paper bag. I eat the cornichons and paper-thin slices of radish with my fingers. I spread the mystery jam (or chutney or whatever) on everything, then find a pile of sweet caramelized onions hiding under a corner of the delicious rillette and eat those, too. I wash everything down with two glasses of Beaujolais ordered off a second chalkboard that shows the nightly by-the-glass wine specials, because the actual wine list (with all its appellations and Château de Blah-Blahs) defeats my thoroughly schoolboy French-language skills.
Cassoulet: $16
Beet carpaccio:
Crepes: $6
Soup: $6
Croque Parisienne: $9.50
Tarte tatin: $6
I sit alone in a window seat, lit by a single tea light, and pretend to read my battered copy of Wind, Sand and Stars, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, because it's something I've always wanted to do -- to sit in a Parisian bistro drinking young Beaujolais, eating well and feeling entirely at home while I read and reread the memoir of that guy who wrote (and illustrated) the children's book The Little Prince but who also happened to be a pilot for the Latécoère Company, predecessor of Aéropostale, and spent a lifetime delivering the mails across Spain and North Africa.
By the time I'm done, closing time has come and long since gone, but there's no letup in the dining room. The bar is full, and Dupays has once again come down to join the fun, speaking of travel and food and helping the drinkers navigate their way through the best bottles on the wine list. Across from me, an older man in glasses, ill-fitting pants and argyle socks pulled all the way up his thin calves is trying to impress his companion by speaking French, but he's doing it so poorly, he sounds like a cat trying to sing "Frère Jacques." At the front of the room, a six-top clears out and the hostess seats a late-arriving two-top. Then another as I'm getting up to go. Then another three-top that comes through the door just as I walk out.

All Along the Watchtower
Let it be recorded that in his nation's hour of need, when a cruel deity deprived America of Michael Jackson and then drove the magnificent Sarah from office, Jeff Goldstein was nowhere to be found at Protein Wisdom, having temporarily deserted his post to put up aluminum siding, or something. Former sidekick Dan Collins has mosied off to start his own blog, an aesthetic affront that which puts the "I" in eyesore.
In related news, another parrot has fallen from its perch as Dr. Sanity, the author of such epochal studies of narcissistic pathology as "Liberals are Sick, Twisted Bastards Who Desire to Drink Your Blood (recorded live in Budokan)" has rolled her Freudian couch out into the driveway and called it a day.
Hanging from the perch with one parrot leg is our old pal Roger L. Simon, apparently so depressed by recent events that he's reaching for the John Dewey. (Hat tip: Roger Ailes.) Perhaps Dr. Sanity can treat Raj on her couch out in the driveway, unless there's some cockamamie local ordinance contrived by liberal nanny staters to choke off "entrepreneurship."

Aug 09, 1899 Brooklyn, New York, USA -
Nov 06, 1956 Beverly Hills, California, USA ) Male
Husband of
Dorothy MacKaye
(1931 - 1940) her death
Kellys father owned a saloon, Kelly's Kafe, in the shadow of Vitagraph Studios, on E. 14th St. in Midwood, Brooklyn. Studio hands drank their lunch at Kelly's, and the barkeep's wife convinced a casting assistant to help her son get a foot in the door. He was a cute kid, with red hair and a Celtic face that looked like a map of Ireland. In no time he went from a $5-a-day extra to featured juvenile roles in silent comedy shorts.
Young Kelly appeared in dozens of shorts from 1910 to 1916 - titles like "Jimmie's Job," "Billy's Pipe Dream" and "Cutie Tries Reporting." He matured into a handsome man - tall and athletic with a thick auburn mop. Kelly moved to Los Angeles and graduated to adult roles just before the film industry began its shift to Talkies, in 1927.
Kelly was part of a fast-moving, heavy-drinking crowd that included actor Dorothy Mackaye and her husband, Ray Raymond. Soon, Kelly and Mackaye developed a habit of sneaking off together until dawn. Raymond warned Kelly to stay away from his wife. But Kelly showered Mackaye with love notes and finally declared his love for Mackaye to Raymond.
On April 16, 1927, a drunk Kelly confronted a drunk Raymond in front of the Raymonds maid and daughter. According to the maid, Raymond was no match for Kelly who bashed Raymond's head against a wall until he fell unconscious. Mackaye arrived home to tuck her groggy husband into bed. The next morning, Mackaye called a friend, Dr. Walter Sullivan, who sat at Raymond's bed while she visited Kelly. Raymond lingered for two days then succumbed to a brain hemorrhage. Mackaye tried to convince police that Raymond had died of natural causes. But the maid told the truth. Kelly was charged with first-degree murder, Mackaye with felony coverup.
The trial was a national spectacle. Mackaye denied the affair, but the actor's houseboy confirmed their trysts and the police found a stack of Kelly's love letters found tucked in her mattress. Kelly admitted his love and tried to portray the fight as a duel, not a murder. But the jury handed down a manslaughter conviction. Kelly got one to 10 years, Mackaye one to three for the coverup. She served less than 10 months, Kelly just over two years.
In 1931, they got married and were back on Broadway. Then they returned to California, where they raised Valerie Raymond as Mimi Kelly, who would later have her own modest Broadway career.
Mackaye wrote a play, "Women in Prison," based on her own experiences, that became a 1933 film, "Ladies They Talk About," with Barbara Stanwyck. She died in 1940, at age 40, when she rolled her car while driving home one night.
Kelly continued as one of America's busiest actors, appearing in more than 100 films - often as a cop, soldier or gangster - from 1932, when he made his Talkie debut, to the mid-1950s. He made periodic returns to Broadway, winning a Tony for his work in the war drama "Command Decision" in 1947.
By one count, Paul Kelly's credits included more than 400 film, stage and TV roles. But like his wife and her first husband, he did not enjoy a long life. He died of a heart attack at age 56 on Nov. 6, 1956.

Girl trapped in crashed car for two days next to her dead father
NBC NEWS — A 9 year-old girl was found alive Sunday evening after being trapped in a car for two days after a wreck that killed her father.
According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol 39-year-old Douglas Landon of Cove City and his 9 year-old daughter Jordan left for the store around 10 p.m. Friday night and they didn't come home.
Officials say on Saturday morning the girl's mother reported them missing to the Craven County Sheriff's Office.
Then around 5:30 p.m. Sunday a man walking on Highway 55 in Cove City saw a vehicle in a ditch completely turned over.
Officials say Landon and the girl were inside that vehicle.
Landon was found dead; the 9-year-old was found alive.
Officials say Jordan survived by eating Pop-Tarts and drinking Gatorade.
They say she was trapped in the vehicle for two days.
Troopers say Douglas Landon was driving at speeds in excess of 100 mph when the car ran off the road to the right and went into a steep ditch bank. The car then went airborne and landed upside down on its top.
Jordan was pinned in the car upside down; troopers say you could not see the car from the roadway.
The 9-year-old suffered minor injuries, but is expected to be okay.
Troopers say no alcohol is suspected at this point.

New site is fighting me to book a king bed with child
So, we usually just chuck DS between us in a king sized bed when we travel with him. He's too big for a pack n play but too small to sleep alone in a strange bed when traveling. He'll be just-turned three when we will likely be at WDW later this year.
We had previously booked (and needed to reschedule) a king bedroom at POR. Room only. When we said he was 2, we could book king, but if we said he was 3, king was no longer available. I guess that's the threshold where they consider him to be a big kid. That booking was late last year, and since then there's been fabulous website updates. Now, if I book a vacation PACKAGE, I can book a king bedroom by calling DS 2, but then I'll need to buy a separate park ticket for him, because he'll be 3 and need a ticket for the parks. Which is fine. But if I try to buy the ROOM ONLY, even if I call him 2, or an infant, it says the king room is unavailable because the party size exceeds capacity (even though the room is clearly available to book an under-3 in, because I can do it with a package). The same room, same parameters, different results based on whether I try to book package or room-only. I'm not trying to scam anyone. I'll pay for DS to get into the park. I just want a room with a king bed, because that's how we sleep on vacation. On a cruise ship, we need to pay for each person in a room, because of lifeboat capacity, but I want to spend 3 nights at WDW, why is this so hard? I don't know why the stupid website is fighting with me, and I'm concerned that the package that lets me book now will go away if they "update" the website further. Has anyone had better luck calling? I hate spending 40 minutes on the phone for something I can theoretically do online. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Users of cloud computing infrastructures should be aware that their
sensitive data could be potentially leaked, a group of university
researchers say.
In a new research paper (PDF), several computer scientists from the
University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have discovered soft spots in the
cloud computing concept that could leave data vulnerable to attack.
"Overall, our results indicate that there exist tangible dangers when
deploying sensitive tasks to third-party compute clouds," the paper
In a nutshell, the researchers argue that by taking the right steps, an
attacker could place a malicious virtual machine (VM) in close proximity
to a target server in a shared, "cloud" environment. From there, it
would be possible to launch a "cross-VM attack" using a variety of
different hacking strategies, they say.
Such methods might be employed by an attacker looking to access a
specific target or server, or they might be used by hackers casting a
wide net, searching for any vulnerable server, the paper says.
