Glass barometer

I have had a barometer like this most of my adult life, so when mine recently broke, due to my own clumsiness, I just had to replace it. The new one is perfect and I hope to keep this one for many years, as well.

I finally got around to watching all the collector's edition content and based on that I've got the distinct impression that ya'll are thinking about bringing Leah back in an expansion. Please don't! One of the things I always loved about this universe is the mature and morose theme. Good people die in the real world and without cause. Not everyone can be saved and justice isn't always served. Maybe you can do something where we rescue her soul from hellish torment; but, I'd rather have her sequel surrounded by a theme of vengeance. We cant get her back but we can sure as hell make the one responsible pay. I'm thinking stories along the great tradition of gritty, dark revenge such as: Death Wish, Kill Bill, Edge of Darkness, Man on Fire, etc. Our heroes, undoubtedly changed by their exposure to the evils, return to hunt down the witch Adria... a one way road....to hell.
It's too bad that that's exactly what's going to happen.
Since the Worldstone was destroyed, the floodgates were opened for pulp to enter Sanctuary. It's not a dark world anymore, it's a pulpy world. Any attempts to figure out what's going on result in more questions than answers. I don't know what Blizzard's problem is, but in their recent games, instead of letting named characters die, so that we might feel like there's some kind of continuous story, they just bring them back. When I sat down and thought about it, there are actually quite a few characters killed and brought back across the Blizzard games. |
I doubt she will live again. I'm sure that her character will be revisited in spirit form and a plot point will be to free it from the clutches of Hell, but resurrection is a daunting task. I doubt that any self respecting Priest of Rathma would attempt such a feat on the being that brought forth the Prime Evil.
Edited by Chris#1235 on 9/12/2012 8:27 PM PDT
There are also plenty of named characters who have stayed dead. Besides, the Diablo franchise is designed around the fact that the dead can be brought back to life.
Edited by JohnnyZeWolf#1953 on 9/12/2012 8:10 PM PDT
I remember reading a thread that said they could bring cain back to life by making it out to be a trick that belial played on the hero, it was all an illusion or something like that, to make the hero go get the black soulstone to free diablo.
That would be a cool expansion. |
What was left of her body was destroyed, so it wouldn't fit if she was somehow resurrected. Rescuing her soul and hunting Adria would be great though. If I'm not mistaken, Blizzard plans on having several expansions.
Just don't turn her into a Queen of Blades knockoff and I'm fine with whatever.
This came on Cinemax free weekend and I got to see it again. Actually this basic plot of this movie would fit nicely. Heroes seek revenge for Leah's death. Heroes kill the witch but later find out that Leah can be saved (her soul). Heroes then free Leah in exchange for their life or become the new angel of justice. Either way it should be the last expansion in the D3 series. |
If you watch the video on youtube (dont remember the exact video) but they put some much effort into her, I dont think they are done with here. Whether she makes a spiritual comeback in an expansion or even shows up again in a D4 is basically a wait and see. But I do think she will play an important role. Plus the game makers dropped some hints throughout the game that I think will play a role in either/both expansion or D4 as well.
b. Thefts Guild c. Our favorite Gem crafter Shen. These are just three (3) that stick out the most for me. Finally, I would not be surprised if we dont see an addition again to out player characters out there. Hopefully something different, I dont want to see a remake of what we have already played (Warrior, Rogue, Amazon, Barbarian, Necro, Sorcerer(his and her), Druid, Paladin, Assassin, Monk, Witch Doctor, and Demon Hunter). How about a Demon, Undead, or a Bard????????
Edited by Fathertime#1788 on 9/14/2012 11:13 PM PDT
the question is:
what about Adria? where she is? |
I figured that the expansion, or the first expansion if they make more than one, would be focused on going after Adria and perhaps going after Dirgess, the spirit Covetous Shen is trying to destroy. I'm fine with redeeming Leah's soul or something but I also wouldn't want her to come back. I like the finality that the Diablo series has about those who mess with a soul stone. That no matter how pure or noble you're intent and spirit that your slowly whittled down and corrupted anyway. If they want to say her soul is inviolate and indestructible and that can be recovered/avenged/restored then that's fine with me, but I think it would cheapen the whole franchise even further to have her somehow just magically be OK and have her little inn when it's all said and done.
It's also possible her soul is trapped in the soul stone and that could be something tied into the plot with Adria or the expansion. They show the Prime Evil/Diablo's body dissolving but clearly show the stone falling away intact and they practically beat you over the head with the fact that "true evil never really dies". Also the arch angels can't be truly killed apparently unless their crystal is corrupted, they just resurrect from pandemonium, don't see any reason why it isn't the same for the demons. In D3 we don't destroy their source(like the archangels crystal), just the latest embodiment of their souls combined. I would assume that with all the talk about keeping the balance and the nephalem being outside the balance that the angels would have to dissapear if there were no prime evils as well because they would then be causing an imbalance themselves. The game implies that the Nephalem are the only individuals outside of a pre-recorded fate and destiny, outside of the "balance". All that to say I expect there to be more fighting against one or more prime evils in an expansion. In the expansion I guess I would like to 1) kill Adria 2) rescue Leah's soul and put her to rest 3) play as an angelic or a demonic being for an additional character |
LEAH MUST come back...with a "id all" button attached... :)
Leah must stay dead. Diablo isn't pulp, it's gothic-horror.
Get it inside your head, Jay. Pulp must go, heroes can't win and go ride to the sunset. In the Diablo we know and love, bad things happen to good people (all of the heroes from Diablo, the townsfolk of Tristram, Leoric and his family, Griswold, the barbarians at Mount Arreat). Don't turn this story into World of Warcraft II: Electric Boogaloo. It's kind of sucky as it is already. |
-> Cue scene with male hero carrying semi-nude Leah after she became human again? Wait that's SC2...!
Bring Caine Back !! And make him OP!!
I remember reading a thread that said they could bring cain back to life by making it out to be a trick that belial played on the hero, it was all an illusion or something like that, to make the hero go get the black soulstone to free diablo. I prefer to think Cain will be ascended to heaven to take over as the Archangel of Wisdom. |
i hope they bring her back in an expansion. it was kind of upsetting for me that she died. weird, I know.
Leah must stay dead. Diablo isn't pulp, it's gothic-horror. If you don't like pulp, it's clear you don't like Conan the Barbarian. And if you don't like Conan, you are not fit to be a man. Sometimes, it's good to have an exception to the rule. Having everything be grimderp all the time gets boring. There is room for humor in the darkest of Mangas (Berserk), yet no room for at least one happy ending for one character in Diablo? Bring Leah back! |
If you don't like pulp, it's clear you don't like Conan the Barbarian. And if you don't like Conan, you are not fit to be a man. I dont like pulp for d3 only. But sir you are correct. If you dont like conan the barbarian. You have a gaping vag |

Boilermaker Training Programs and Requirements
Boilermakers weld, install and repair boilers and vats used to store large amounts of liquid and gaseous materials. Boilermakers use welding, metal fabrication and drafting skills to create high-pressure vessels and piping systems. A formal apprenticeship is the most common training program for boilermakers.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
Boilermakers typically begin training by enrolling in a welding certificate program or formal apprenticeship. Boilermakers are required to have a high school diploma or GED certificate to pursue either path.
Boilermakers should be able to read technical metal diagrams and blueprints. They should be able to perform highly technical duties while adhering to strict safety policies set by employers. Boilermakers should be able to work with welders, foremen and other construction professionals to finish projects.
Formal Education
Boilermakers participate in an apprenticeship to gain welding and metal fabrication experience. Many boilermakers first obtain a welding certificate to improve their chances of obtaining an apprenticeship opportunity.
Welding Certificate
A welding certificate program can prepare students for careers as boilermakers by teaching skills and providing experience prior to an apprenticeship. Students learn various welding and metal fabrication techniques and learn to safely operate welding tools and materials. Most programs require 1-3 semesters of study and include courses in:
- Welding technology
- Oxy-fuel welding
- Shielded metal arc welding
- Reading welding blueprints
- Welding safety
- Gas tungsten welding
- Metallurgy
Boilermaker apprenticeships involve four years of training and combine traditional classroom teaching with practical experience. Apprenticeships provide boilermakers with at least 6,000 hours of paid training and 144 hours of classroom coursework. Apprentices work under the supervision of one or more experienced boilermakers and learn to install boilers, piping systems and related products.
Job Experience
Prospects are best for boilermakers with 4-7 years of experience. An apprenticeship typically provides boilermakers with at least four years of experience; advanced positions may require additional years of journeyman experience. Supervisory and foreman positions may be available to boilermakers with more than seven years of experience.
Licenses and Certifications
Boilermakers are not required to be licensed or certified. Instead, boilermakers demonstrate proficiency through successful completion of an apprenticeship. Boilermakers can obtain voluntary certification, however, from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). Certification is available to experienced boilermakers who pass a 2-hour exam that covers boilermaker safety, metal fabrication, rigging, metal cutting methods, metal preparation, piping systems and valve installation. To pass the exam, boilermakers must receive a score of 74% or better. Boilermakers who obtain NCCER certification are added to NCCER's National Registry, which records training and education information for construction professionals.
Workshops and Seminars
Boilermaker workshops and training seminars are mostly available through apprenticeships. Workshops teach students advanced metal cutting, preparation and drafting skills. Because boilermakers use potentially dangerous tools, many workshops focus on safety issues. Employers may also offer workshops or orientation programs for newly hired boilermakers.
The NCCER (www.nccer.org) maintains a database of training centers that offer boilermaker workshops. Boilermakers can find training centers by location and field. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) also offers workshops for boilermakers. The ASME offers more than ten courses, such as alteration of pressure equipment, combustion principles, mechanical insulation designs, boiler fabrication and welding technology.
Additional Professional Development
Professional development resources are available from the NCCER and the ASME. Both organizations offer continuing education and career advancement opportunities. In addition, boilermakers can advance in the industry by joining the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. This union offers information for apprenticeship programs, continuing education courses and information on legislation relevant to boilermakers. Boilermakers can also find helpful career information in The Boilermaker Reporter, a magazine published four times each year by the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers.

Tourism organisations from around Ireland travelled to Barcelona, to join Tourism Ireland for SITC 2013, the largest holiday and travel show in the Catalonia region of Spain.
SITC (Saló Internacional del Turisme de Catalunya) attracts over 200,000 visitors each year, including leading travel media, tour operators, travel agents, providers of EFL (learning English as a Foreign Language) and business tourism buyers, as well as many thousands of potential holidaymakers looking for ideas and suggestions for their next short break or holiday destination. The three-day event provided a valuable opportunity for the participating Irish companies to showcase their product, do business with Spanish travel professionals and communicate what is unique about the island of Ireland as a holiday destination. It was also a good opportunity to highlight the ease of access to Ireland from this part of Spain. The Gathering Ireland 2013, and the many festivals and events taking place here this year, was also a major focus for Tourism Ireland at this year's SITC.
Barbara Wood, Tourism Ireland's manager in Spain, said: "Tourism Ireland in Spain has a busy programme of promotional activity under way for 2013, to capitalise on the strong interest here in the island of Ireland and to build on the growth in Spanish visitors to Ireland in 2012. Our presence at SITC provided an excellent opportunity to spread the word about all the great things to see and do in Ireland and, in particular, to raise awareness about the exciting programme of events taking place during this special year of The Gathering Ireland. Working closely with our tourism partners, we are highlighting the distinctiveness of a holiday on the island of Ireland, the great value available and the ease of access from Spain. Our message for Spanish holidaymakers is that there has never been a better time to visit." Trish Smith, representing the Boyne Valley (right), with Barbara Wood, Tourism Ireland, at SITC in Barcelona.

Sandy I love my new duvet cover and shams. The set looks great! I am glad I read the reviews before purchasing it so that I was sure to buy the right size comforter that fits perfectly and I was not surprised with the wrinkles. They can easily be smoothed out and will get better after a couple of washings.

Heavy, soft. Nice! These are exactly the heavy weight thick sheets/duvet cover that I was looking for. Others have compared them to canvas... they aren't QUITE that thick, but they are heavy and I expect them to last a lifetime. Soft and comfy. If thick is what you are looking for... this is the duvet set for you!

Awesome! This duvet cover is great. It is very thick, and very heavy... which should be expected for 1200 thread count. After a couple of washes, the duvet is very soft, and luxurious. My favorite feature of the duvet cover is the fact that there is no seam at the top of the cover. There is an openeing on the bottom (which closes with buttons) and two seams up the side, but none at the top. Which means, this is one piece of fabric. Not "top and bottom" pieces that are sewed together around the edges. Love it.

great look! This product came exactly as advertised, no surprises, no disappointment here. I usually don't write reviews but in this case I was very pleased with this Duvet. I washed it right when it came and took it to my cleaners to have them professonally press it and it looks great and is holding the press very well just like high thread counts will do. Highly recommend.

FAQs about Duvet Covers
If you have a duvet, make sure you have it covered. Duvet covers are essential for duvet owners, and they're a great option if you're considering new bedding. They're one of the most popular bedding options, and so it's smart to brush up on your duvet cover knowledge before making any purchases for your bedroom. Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about duvet covers.
Best Duvet Covers for Each Season
For those who use duvet blankets year-round, duvet covers allow you to change patterns and color to match every season. Along with the decor of the bedroom, a duvet cover may enhance the ambiance of the entire room or supply it with rich colors and textures for the ultimate comfort factor. If you purchased an expensive duvet, covering it throughout the year will keep it in good shape and allow you to wash it without compromising the batting. Look below to learn the best duvet covers for each season. Spring: Once the evenings start warming up, lighter fabrics like satin provide sheen and style to any bedroom. Satin duvet covers are most often comprised of fabrics like nylon, rayon or silk to provide durability as well as comfort. For spring, lighter colors, including pastels or variations of cream and beige, brighten the room. Summer: During warm summer nights, cotton duvets are one of the most common fabric choices. Light and airy, cotton is also easy to clean and comes in virtually every color and pattern. For the summer season, try a white duvet cover, which will make the room appear more open and spacious. A cotton blend that contains polyester is also an ideal choice for summer, because it is soft, requires simple washing and does not wrinkle. Fall: For the fall season, a duvet cover that is warm enough for intermittent chilly nights is an ideal choice. Microsuede duvet covers offer a soft feel to bedding and come in a variety of colors. This material is easy to care for and machine washable. For fall, choose earthy colors like beige, brown, dark green or burgundy for a seasonal look. Winter: A luxurious duvet cover is a favorite option for warmth during the winter months. Velvet is a soft fabric that comes in a variety of rich colors and provides plenty of insulation for cold nights. The luxurious texture looks good in any style of room decor. For winter months, choose deep, rich colors like burgundy, plum, forest green or chocolate to enhance the room. View All Duvet Covers Back to Guides Directory View All Duvet Covers
How to Secure a Duvet Cover

How to Maintain Luxury Duvet Covers
One of the best things about duvet covers is that they allow you to keep your duvets fresh and clean without much fuss. Of course, the covers need some maintenance, and the more luxurious they are, the more careful you may need to be. Fortunately, keeping them clean and feeling great isn't difficult. Here's how to maintain your luxury duvet covers.
Popular Duvet Cover Styles and Fabrics
Duvet covers are available in a variety of fabrics and patterns. The right style for your bedroom is a matter of personal taste. When choosing a duvet cover for your comforter, pick out a style that will go well with the furniture and flooring of your bedroom. Duvet covers should also complement the art on your bedroom walls and the window dressing.
What You Need to Know about Duvet Covers
Changing the look of your whole bedroom is easy when you use a duvet cover. Sometimes referred to as comforter covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter or duvet stylish as well as clean. Here's what you need to know when you're shopping for one.
How to Secure King-size Duvet Covers
Wrestling a king-size duvet back into its duvet cover after washing is a battle that can require super-human patience and several extra limbs. The enormous area of king-size bedding usually makes washing or changing your duvet cover a two-person chore, but with a few modifications, you can make switching out your king-size duvet cover much simpler. The easiest solution is to create ties that attach to your duvet insert and keep it secure without holes or extraneous metal parts. For instructions on making this bedding alteration, keep reading.
How to Put on a Duvet Cover by Yourself
Putting on a duvet cover is a fast, simple process, even though it may seem potentially troublesome. If you do it correctly, the duvet will lie flat inside the cover, free of wrinkles and bunching. All the process takes is some pulling and shaking; no tricky folding or awkward stuffing is necessary. Fasten the buttons or snaps, and your new duvet cover will be ready for plenty of use. Look below to learn precisely how to put on a duvet cover by yourself.
Duvets vs Down Comforters
A new duvet or down comforter is a fast, easy way to change the look of your bedroom decor. These bed coverings can also keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter's night. Traditionally, the word duvet, a French word meaning "down," was interchangeable with down comforter. Today, however, when most Americans say the word duvet, they are actually referring to a duvet cover. Duvet covers are made to slip over many different types of comforters, whereas a down comforter can be used as a standalone bed covering. Take a look at this article to learn more about the differences between duvets and down comforters.
Benefits of Comforter Covers
Duvet covers, also known as comforter covers, are some of the most popular bedding available today, which shouldn't be surprising. These terrific bedroom staples offer a wide range of benefits. Everyone has a different reason for loving comforter covers. Whether you are looking for style, comfort or convenience, duvet covers can help you meet your goal. Comforter covers are available from a large number of trusted brands in a variety of materials, colors and sizes, meaning there's something in the category for everyone. If you are interested in duvet covers but need a bit of convincing before you take the plunge, take a look at the article below, where you will learn the benefits of comforter covers.
Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.
How to Create Ambiance with Hotel Collection Bedding

Classic bedding sets from Hotel Collection bedding will enable you to channel the quiet luxury of grand hotels and relax in a bedroom that feels like a getaway.

Quick Facts about Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets
For years, the title "King of Cotton" has gone to Egyptian cotton, and Egyptian cotton sheet sets are, consequently, known for being of the finest quality. It used to be that the only places to buy Egyptian cotton sheet sets were high-end boutiques, and Egyptian cotton sheets sets often carried hefty price-tags. While lustrous, durable Egyptian cotton bedding and Egyptian cotton sheet sets are still more expensive than bedding and sheets made from less distinguished cotton, they are far less expensive than they used to be, and if you want luxury and durability, the price may be well worth it. Keep reading to find out a few interesting and useful facts about Egyptian cotton sheet sets and Egyptian cotton bedding that may help make your purchase easier.
FAQs about Sateen Sheets
Sateen sheets are high-quality sheets woven in the same way as traditional satin. Unlike satin, sateen sheets are made with more common fibers, such as cotton. Sateen sheets are soft to the touch and allow skin to slide smoothly into bed. Sateen sheets are available in very high thread counts, and as such, are quite durable. Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about sateen sheets.
How to Pick a Pillow
Even if you have a top-of-the-line mattress and an 800 thread count sheet set, your bed is not likely to be comfortable without the right pillow tucked under your cheek. Nothing ruins a good night's sleep like a bad pillow. Unfortunately, it's easy to underestimate the value of a good pillow. Not only do good pillows add aesthetic value to your bed, but they can also be the difference between a restful night or an aching back and neck. Pillows come in different shapes, sizes and firmness. Take a look below to learn how to pick a pillow.
Sheets - Luxury Weaves
Changing your bedding, especially your sheets, is a great way to change the look of your bedroom as well as improve your night's rest. As you're looking for new sheets, think beyond color and thread count. The weave used for a sheet set makes a big difference in how your sheets will feel and look. Keep reading to learn more about five different sheet weaves and their characteristics.
Tips on Buying Women's Wedding Bands
The wedding band is a significant piece of jewelry, symbolizing commitment, love and passion. You can choose from many different kinds of women's wedding bands and engagement rings, including conservative bands, creative designer bridal sets and wedding bands covered in precious stones. It is important to weigh the options carefully when shopping for women's wedding bands to find the wedding jewelry that will be perfect for you or your bride.
Pearl Creation Fact Sheet
Pearls are the product of a living creature. Mollusks living in saltwater and fresh water have been forming pearls for over 500 million years. Coveted for their simplicity and color, these organic gems are often set into pearl necklaces, rings, earrings and other jewelry pieces. Unlike gems that evolve from minerals in the earth's crust, pearls begin their creation as a reaction to foreign matter inside a shell-covered mollusk. Pearl jewelry is an homage to the beauty of nature and time.

Give her the 100 dollars so she can get what she wants
Give her the $100, tell her you trust her. Tell her you love her. Then leave her alone.
a chastity belt and you keep the key.
Give her something that will last as long as she lives. If this was a gift for a niece or a nephew then you could get away with giving them money or something equally insignificant, but this is your daughter. A 21 year old that is probably ready to go on and start a life of her own. Give her a piece of jewelry or something of value. It doesn't need to be expensive, it just needs ot have meaning, Give her something that will always remind her of you as she moves on, and then make sure to tell her why you're giving that to her. <br />
Trust me. That's the best gift you could possibly give someone. I've lived through sixteen birthdays and never has my father given me something like that. I wish he just knew.
Give her the money and let her decide...this was the best answer for my kids after they became teens and still to this day.
The best idea is the give her the money - that way she can get what she wants :)

Today we're going to take a closer look at how a man that left school when he was 10 to work on his father's farm so that his little brother could go to school. He would go on to build one of the most recognizable companies in the world. This is the story of Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler and the top 3 lessons that you can learn from his success. "Every human life is made to fit some place, and there is a place for every life." - Asa Candler Asa Griggs Candler was born on December 30, 1851 in Villa Rica, Georgia, and was the eighth of eleven children. He grew up during the time of the American Civil War. Candler's father was a well-established merchant and property owner, but the war would take its toll on the family; they often had no more than the bare necessities. Candler's formal education began when he was five years old, but was sporadic throughout. When he was ten years old, he left school and spent his time working on his father's farm. While he could have opted to attend Emory College, he instead let his brother, Warren attend in his place. Candler was anxious to enter the working world. He had an interest in the medical field, but with no money for medical school, he decided to pursue a career as a druggist. He took on an apprenticeship with two pharmacists in his hometown, but his earnings were meagre. So, Candler decided to move to Atlanta in search of better opportunities. In 1873, with just $1.75 in his pocket, Candler made the move to Atlanta and landed a job with a local druggist, George J. Howard. His early success and work ethic led to his promotion as chief clerk. However, after a falling out with Howard, Candler decided to strike out on his own and become his own boss. Candler used to get migraines and one day they were so bad that he was willing to try whatever it took to get rid of it. He turned to a little known product that had been produced by a fellow Atlanta-based druggist, John Smyth Pemberton. Pemberton had created something called "Coca-Cola," his own personal fizzy 'brain tonic' and headache medicine that combined coca leaves and kola nuts. He had been selling the drink for five cents a glass at his own drugstore. It was created in his back yard in a three-legged fifteen-gallon pot that stood over a fire, and when Candler sampled it, he was immediately hooked. In what appeared to be a rash decision to onlookers, Candler decided at once to sell his entire stock of drugs, paints, oils, glass, and fancy clothes. He sold off everything he could and raised roughly $50,000. He initially invested $500 into Pemberton's company, but by the end of 1891, he had managed to gain control over the entire Coca-Cola product for just $2,300. He used the rest of the money to continue manufacturing and marketing the drink. Coca-Cola was born. Action Item #1: Make People Remember Your Product Action Item #2: Be Unique Action Item #3: If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It True Story Asa Candler was a strong businessperson and aggressive when it came to all of his ventures, but he believed personal wealth should benefit the community. Unheard of in his day, he would challenge other wealthy business people to match everything he gave to charity. A lot of this money went towards the building of Wesley Memorial Hospital, which is now known as Emory University Hospital. Candler did a lot for education and is considered the founder of Emory University. According to one story, he would not associate with other business people that did not share his point of view about giving back to the community. This feeling was proven in public when he slapped one of the richest men in Atlanta at the time for not giving money to help expand Emory University. This story ran in all the local newspapers and was front-page news for more than a week, until the wealthy businessperson final...

Lovely, sultry black- and dark-berry fruits on the nose, with deep spice, a touch of undergrowth and deep, earthy tones. Lovely shape on the palate as the dark, spicy fruit flows forth. Plenty of spice and meaty notes with an aura of leaf litter and forest floor surrounding the fruit charcters. Perfectly poised on the finish. Give this a good decant and settle in. Drink in 2015. (10/ 2014)
Pale to medium ruby-purple-colored, the 2011 La Strada Pinot Noir displays a nose of red cherries and red currents with suggestions of tree bark, dried sage and loam. Medium to full-bodied with a good amount of expressive cherry and earthy flavors in the mouth, it has a medium level of chewy tannins, uplifting acid and a finish with good length. Drink it now to 2016
Fromm is a small certified organicestate in Renwick at the center of Marlborough's Wairau Valley. They have been producing wine since 1992 and strive to make hand-crafted wines that represent unique vineyard expressions. After visiting the property in 2011 I knew that these wines were special. I am delighted that we have developed such a great relationship with winemaker Will Hoare to offer these wines at fraction of their worth due to a direct winery purchase deal. I hope you enjoy the wines as much as I have. (Ryan Woodhouse, New Zealand buyer) Comments from the winemaker: "Bright and youthful Pinot, good density, ripe, sweet fruit with plum, cherry and spicy aromas. Complex and harmonious with a layered structure. Raymond Chan 91 "Dark, deep ruby-red colour with a black-hued heart and lighter garnet on rim. The bouquet is gentle and even with ethereal perfumes of dark red berry fruits and fresh red floral detail interwoven harmoniously with red liquorice and raspberry notes. Medium-bodied, restrained flavours of dark red berries and florals are supported by very fine-grained tannins and supple, dry textures. The acidity is in the background enhancing the soft, rounded mouthfeel. The palate flows smoothly and with a sense of balance and completeness to a soft, dry finish with good length. This is a harmoniously balanced Pinot Noir with ethereal red fruits and soft, dry textures. Serve with poultry and rabbit dishes over the next 5-6 years."

Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Set during the waning days of the Russian revolution, Meek's utterly absorbing novel (after The Museum of Doubt) captivates with its depiction of human nature in all its wartime extremes. In 1919, the remote Siberian town of Yazyk contains a strange brew of humanity: the docile members of a mystical Christian sect, whose longing for purity drives them to self-mutilation; a small outfit of Czech troops, marooned by the civil war and led by the mad cocaine-snorting Captain Matula; and 'the widow' Anna Petrovna, whose passion for worldly things (e.g., photography and men) isolates her from the devout townspeople. When the charismatic revolutionary, Samarin, trudges into town with a harrowing tale of escape from a distant labor camp and a dangerous philosophy, Yazyk becomes a theater of bloodshed and betrayal as well as heroism and compassion. Using the town as a microcosm of the larger war, Meek illuminates both perverted ideology and irrepressible humanity. With confident prose, layered storytelling and prodigious imagination, he combines scenes of heart-pounding action and jaw-dropping revelations with moments of quiet tension and sly humor. This original, literary page-turner succeeds both with its credible psychological detail and in its grandeur and sweep. Six-city tour. (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"Think of your favorite Russian novel. Is it one of Dostoevsky's nightmarish depictions of existential torment? Or an evocation of love's crosscurrents during a week in the country, something in the wistful mode of Turgenev or Chekhov? Perhaps you prefer the sweep of 'Doctor Zhivago,' or the achingly human characters of 'Anna Karenina,' or maybe the romantic fatedness of Lermontov's 'A Hero of Our... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review)
Review:"There are so many good things about this novel that one wants to praise it to the skies: exotic setting, well-drawn characters, historical accuracy, intriguing plot." Library Journal
Synopsis:In the outer reaches of a country recently torn apart by civil war lives a small Christian sect and its enigmatic leader, Balashov. Anna Petrovna, a beautiful, restless photographer, is raising her young son by herself amid this brutal landscape. Stationed nearby is a company of Czech soldiers, desperate to get home but on the losing side of the recent conflict. Each soldier lives in a fragile co-existence and a troubling uncertainty prevails. Into this isolated community trudges Samarin, an escapee from Russia's northernmost prison camp. Immediately apprehended, he is brought before Captain Matula, the Czech company's megalomaniac commander. But the stranger's appearance has caught the attention of others, including that of Anna Petrovna. And when a local shaman is found murdered, suspicion and terror engulf this village. To be published in twenty countries, The People's Act of Love is quite simply magnificent storytelling and it promises to be an auspicious literary event.
