A Splendid Examination of Barolo and Barbaresco
Wine journalism, as we know it, is a dying art. The reason is simple; most wine publications these days specialize in points – the ultimate sound bite – as a way to attract readers. They're easy to understand and much quicker to peruse. The editors of these publications – in print and online – have clearly decided to limit traditional articles about wine regions and grape types, as they sense that readers prefer a quick fix.
That's why it's a true pleasure to read Barolo and Barbaresco: The King and Queen of Italian Wine by Kerin O'Keefe. It's clear from the first chapter that O'Keefe knows her subject well and is passionate about these wines. While other authors have also contributed notable works on these iconic red wines of Piemonte, O'Keefe takes the extra steps necessary to inform the reader about the DNA of these wines, from their history to their soils to their styles, as crafted by dozens of the finest producers. The fact that she does so in such a well-written, well-documented and opinionated manner is all the more reason to acquire this book.
First things first – full disclosure. I have known Kerin O'Keefe for about ten years as I tend to see her at special events in Italy; we have tasted together not only in Alba for Barolo and Barbaresco anteprime, but also in Montalcino as well as Sicily. She has an excellent palate, is a first-rate writer and is professional in her discipline. For all the wine gurus out there who tend to gloss over too many wines, they could learn a lot from O'Keefe's common sense approach to the great wines of Italy. (I'll also note that O'Keefe and I also have very similar palates, as we tend to favor the more traditional, terroir-driven wines and not the splashy, overripe offerings made by some producers if only in hopes of gaining a big score for a wine publication.)
Last year, O'Keefe wrote an outstanding book titled Brunello di Montalcino: Understanding and Appreciating One of Italy's Greatest Wines that was among the finest wine books I have ever read. She takes a similar approach in this new work, first giving us an examination of a history of these wines along with a detailed analysis of local terroir. To my way of thinking, this is the best part of this new book.
I mentioned that the author is a talented wine journalist and it is in this section that her talent shines, especially in the chapters "Noble Nebbiolo" and "The Barolo Wars and their Effects in Both Denominations." In the former chapter, the author deals with several aspects of this grape that is the sole variety used to produce both Barolo and Barbaresco. How it was named, DNA analysis and several statistics on planting are detailed and there is an interesting fact about the Nebbiolo Rosé clone not being a clone at all, but rather a separate variety. I've never read that anywhere else; kudos to the author for doing her research and uncovering that piece of information.
Besides being remarkably well-informed about these wines, O'Keefe is opinionated, but in a professional manner (unlike certain famous wine critics). She was and remains opposed to too much oak (especially new) in these wines, believing that small barrels too often yield wines that are not representative. She writes of "mundane and ubiquitous sensations of toasted oak, vanilla and chocolate" in these wines. She also takes a jab at certain wine gurus who were only recently discovering Barolo and Barbaresco (especially with the warm 1990 growing season), writing that the flavors she mentioned above "put many influential critics in their comfort zone. Before this, these same celebrated palates either ignored Barolo and Barbaresco or slammed it." Great insight here by the author!
I love her take on this subject, as she goes into great detail about the Modernist producers who made Barolo in a very different manner than the previous generations; she also notes that many producers, whom she labels Traditionalists, continued to produce wine in the tried and true manner of their parents. The various production methodology is an important theme of this book and it carries over into the descriptions of the producers in the second half of the book.
The latter half of this book consists of producer profiles in which the author gives us the necessary contact information (location, website, email – all very helpful) as well as her take on each vintner's style – if they age in large casks or small, what are the specific vineyards they work with, etc. She organizes each chapter into communes, which is a very smart approach, as the Barolos from Serralunga and Monforte with their assertive tannins and muscular frame are much more tightly wound and need more time to settle down that their counterparts from La Morra, which are much more approachable wines upon release. Again, her insight into these wines is very impressive, almost encyclopedic.
There are tasting notes, including a vertical of eighteen examples of Gaja Barbaresco. Her section on this world-famous producer is quite illuminating, nicely communicating the tremendous influence Angelo Gaja has had on Barbaresco. O'Keefe's work over the years earned her the right to be able to taste these wines with the producer – where else can you find such detailed notes about these famed wines?
This section of producer profiles is extremely well done, as the reader learns the names and styles of the finest vintners working today in Barolo and Barbaresco. One thing that is unavoidable about listing producers in a work such as this is that you can't include everyone. In a private email about this book, O'Keefe admitted that she was given a page limit by her publisher, the University of California Press. This meant that she had no opportunity to feature every producer she wanted to. So while I would have loved to read about the Barolos of Giovanni Rosso and Luigi Baudana as well as Barbaresco from Serafino Rivella or Pasquale Pelissero (all traditional producers, incidentally), there are no descriptions or mention of these estates and their wines.
Well, you can't have everything, but the author more than makes up for a few omissions by including text on numerous underrated producers that have not revived much attention elsewhere. This is especially true in the chapters about Barbaresco, where O'Keefe writes about the wines of Pier and Socré; I've not had the opportunity to taste the wines of these producers, so I was delighted to learn about them. Barolo and Barbaresco in general have never received as much attention as other renowned red wines of the world (such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons), so the very fact that the author has included several unheralded estates is another strong recommendation for the book.
A couple things to add: while there wasn't enough room for every producer, there are a few that are missing from the book, namely Vietti (Barolo) and Marchesi di Gresy (Barbaresco). O'Keefe does mention their names at the end of their respective chapters ("other firms of note"). Yet even with this, there is no mention of the Barolos of Roberto Voerzio in La Morra. Perhaps the style of his wines is not what the author favors; regardless, it's a strange omission.
Also, and this may be a personal thing, but after reading all the detailed tasting notes as well as information about how each producer makes their wines, I wanted a bit more. I don't mean more in the sense of quantity – there is a wealth of information in this book and I can only imagine how many hours went into this book – but I mean more in the sense of a broad look at the subject. I would have loved to read a few quotes from the producers about what makes them tick. There is information such as this with a few important producers, but not as much as was possible (again, perhaps space limitation was a reason for this).
I think the reader would like to know how these producers view Barolo and Barbaresco in the larger world of wine – are the wines marketed well, are they priced fairly, how have the wines improved over the past thirty or forty years? Again, this is touched upon from time to time in the book, but not as much as could have been. The tasting notes are detailed as are the estate profiles, so clearly that is what O'Keefe wanted to write and has written. I have to review the book that's been written and not what I want, of course. To that end, someone looking for an up-to-date analysis of what's happening in Barolo and Barbaresco today will find a book that is as thorough and as informative – and as engaging – as anyone could want.
I would think that anyone who reads this book would want to taste many of these wines and perhaps make a visit to these marvelous wine districts. That is about as great a situation as could be possible for this subject. It's one thing to write facts, but it's another thing to make them come alive. Kerin O'Keefe has done just that and has written a memorable book.

The Real Story of Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino, one of the world's most celebrated red wines, is particularly loved and appreciated in America. Approximately one in every four bottles of this wine is sold in this country, as consumers seemingly have identified Brunello as their favorite premium Italian wine. The fact that it's from Tuscany doesn't hurt, but it's also become a bit of a status symbol among American wine drinkers, even more so than its Italian counterparts, Barolo and Amarone.
Yet few consumers really know a great deal about this wine, the territory where it is produced or the individuals who make it. The Brunello marque is so strong, the identity of this wine so associated with grandeur, that few consumers can name more than a handful of estates that craft this wine. The fact that they can drink a bottle of Brunello is what's most important in the eyes of many.
Given this view, it's wonderful that Kerin O'Keefe has just written Brunello di Montalcino: Understanding and Appeciating one of Italy's Greatest Wines (312 pages, University of California Press, Berkeley, CA, $39.95). O'Keefe, an American who has been living in Italy since 1991, began writing about Italian wines a few years after that and today, is one of the world's leading journalists on the subject, contributing articles to such publications as Decanter and The World of Fine Wine among others. Personally, I have known Kerin for about a decade, when I first met her – appropriately enough – at a tasting in Montalcino. She is a trusted colleague and someone who willingly shares her knowledge and opinions.
O'Keefe's book is worthwhile on so many levels, combining an introduction to the area and its wines in general to a look at recent events and finally, detailed descriptions of a few dozen estates that she considers important as well as influential. One of the primary themes that she drives home in this work is that over the past three decades, the style of Brunello has undergone a serious change, at least with some producers. She writes about the introduction of French barriques – 225 liter barrels – that became fashionable for maturing Brunello in the 1980s and '90s (and still continues today to some extent). These casks are much smaller than the large oak barrels known as botti that were the traditional vessels used to age the wines in this area. As botti range in size from 20 to 60 hectoliter – or 2000 to 6000 liters – these casks gave far less wood influence to the wines, allowing for greater varietal character (Brunello di Montalcino must of course, be produced entirely from the Sangiovese grape).
The reason why some producers made the switch to the smaller barrels, according to the author, was to try and earn a high score from one of the influential wine publications that were rewarding California and French wines – as well as the infamous Super Tuscans made from international varieties – for their dark colors and super ripe fruit qualities. O'Keefe describes the characteristics of these barrique-aged wines as having "intense chocolate, vanilla and toast influences of new oak;" for the author, this was not beneficial for a wine made with Sangiovese, as the oak flavors "weighed down the variety's vibrant cherry-berry and mineral sensations." She is clearly opposed to barriques – she labels this trend in Montalcino as "the dark side" – and she also quotes area producers who explain why barriques significantly alter the true character of a Brunello, resulting in a loss of tradition as some producers opted for instant fame. (The author is also quick to point out that thankfully, there are still many estates that have stayed with the time-honored ways of producing Brunello.)
O'Keefe also goes into great detail about the infamous Brunello scandal of 2008, when it was reported that the prosecutor of Siena had charged four producers with using varieties other than Sangiovese in their Brunello. Given the deep ruby red and purple colors of some of the examples, journalists had been suspecting this for several years, but now here it was officially out in the open. Much was written over the past three years about this sorry affair (not all of it true); O'Keefe's account of this situation is the best version I have read, not only for its attention to detail, but also in its fairness (she lets one of the accused producers have his say about his winery's involvement).

The author takes a close look at the best producers of Brunello, organizing them by subzone and explaining why the best wines take on a sense of the local terroir. Among her favorites are companies such as Col d'Orcia, Poggio di Sotto, Lisini and Biondi-Santi (the author had previously penned a book on this last producer.) She writes about their particular conditions, both in the vineyards and the cellar and contributes a nice summary of the characteristics of each particular wine from these vintners. I love the fact that O'Keefe has omitted several famous Brunello producers, as they favor a modern approach not in step with her likes, while for some producers (such as Banfi), she includes them for their influence, but at the same time, takes them to task for their business practices as well as the style of their wines.
O'Keefe ends the book with a section entitled, "Beyond Brunello," in which she describes other wines of the area (Rosso di Montalcino, Sant'Antimo, e.g.) as well as lending some valuable tips on pairing Brunello with local foods. This section alone, particularly the food and wine recommendations, should prove to be of invaluable help to anyone touring this area or trying to impress friends at dinner.
In an era where there is so much misinformation about any number of wines and wine news, it's refreshing to read the work of an author who not only knows her subject in great detail, but one who is opinionated and tells her story in an engaging fashion. Whether you are just discovering Brunello di Montalcino or have been enjoying these wines for decades, this book is highly recommended.

There has seldom been a more shameful example of Leftist useful idiocy than this new story about the Truman National Security Project essentially shilling for Iran.
What it shows is that the Truman National Security Project isn't about national security at all. It's all about partisan politics.
Just as further review has shown that the Soviets had thoroughly penetrated and made use of Leftist institutions in the US during the Cold War, it now appears that the Iranians can depend upon the same kind of collaboration from Leftist policy wonks today.
If you're a member or supporter of the Truman National Security Project you now must face the reality that you have supported the regime in Tehran.
A leading Democratic think-tank has been quietly waging a media war on behalf of the Obama administration's Iran diplomacy since at least the early summer, according to previously undisclosed documents that accuse congressional skeptics of being un-American warmongers.
Details of the Truman National Security Project's campaign to sell the public on an Iran deal before it has even been signed comes just a day after the Washington Free Beacon revealed more recent emails from the group enlisting its associates in an "all-hands-on-deck effort to support" the White House's diplomacy with Iran.

A leading Iranian opposition group reports that the Islamic republic is still working on atomic weapons at installations that were relocated to evade detection.
The Mujahedin-e Khalk, or MEK, cited anonymous sources inside the regime. According to the Times of Israel, MEK reports that Iran's Organization of Defensive Information and Research, or SPND, moved its most sensitive weapons research to a new Tehran location "in recent months."
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) brigadier general, heads the SPND.

Members of the US House of Representatives and US Senate sent letters to President Obama detailing principles for any deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
Essentially, the the letters amount to a rejection of Obama's policy approach to Iran's nuclear program as it stands now.
The letters are especially significant in that they are signed by an overwhelming bipartisan roster of Congressman and Senators.
In the House, 395 of the 435 members signed and in the Senate 83 members of 100 signed, including 41 Democrats.
Perhaps just as significant is who did NOT sign the letter. Rumored GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul refused to sign:
"…if one ever needed evidence that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is the odd man out on foreign policy in his party and in the country at large, this is it. He did not sign the Senate letter nor did he sign onto the most recent sanctions legislation; he's made clear previously he wants to give Obama room to negotiate. That is Hillary Clinton's position, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's. It is not "Reaganesque" any more than is his interest in a containment strategy. Reagan's Cold War philosophy was: "We win, they lose." Rand Paul's philosophy seems to be: Obama's got it handled. That puts him in sync with not a single 2016 GOP contender. On the most important national security issue of our time, he's got it exactly wrong on the president and the mullahs."
Paul stood with Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Tom Harkin, Patrick Leahy, Carl Levin, Jay Rockefeller and Bernie Sanders in refusing to sign the letter.

Few, if any, Americans have a more sober and complete understanding of Islamic doctrine, particularly Shariah and Jihad, than Dr. Andrew Bostom.
Two days ago, he penned two very important and educational articles on the threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran and the willful blindness and denial Westerners and Americans in particular have when it comes to that threat. It is just this willful blindness and denial that has allowed us to sit back and watch for 20+ years as Iran builds nuclear infrastructure and ballistic missiles, all while sponsoring Jihadist terrorism directed at us…
Everyone should read these two articles…

Over on Investor's Business Daily, Michael Barone reports that Stratfor analyst Robert Kaplan has suggested that Obama is trying to forge some alliance of sorts with Iran.
As implausible as this might seem, Kaplan evidently makes a case for it and it certainly wouldn't be the first move by Obama that defies all logic and appears to work directly against US interests and those of our allies:
The apparent basis for Obama's obsequiousness toward Iran, a country that has sponsored Hezbollah in its campaigns of murder of US citizens and even cooperated with Al Qaeda (YES, Al Qaeda: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/223992/iranian-entanglements/christopher-w-holton)–not to mention Iran's involvement in supporting insurgents battling US GIs in Iraq and Afghanistan–is the newly fashionable mythology that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is at long-last the "moderate" Iranian leader that we have all been waiting for.
The basic flaw in this thinking is that the President of Iran has no real authority over foreign policy and national security issues and policy. That authority resides only with the Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Despite the absurdity of the theory that Rouhani will make a real difference in US-Iranian relations, history suggests that it should not come as a real surprise that Team Obama is championing him. Democrats in office have held out this theory for decades. (Not that Republicans should get a free pass, since they too have sat idly by as Iran built up its nuclear infrastructure.)
The first known example of damaging Democratic naivete came, of course, during the disastrous administration of Jimmy Carter. Carter's UN ambassador, Andrew Young, declared that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was akin to an Islamic "saint." National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski considered Khomeini someone America could work with to oppose the Soviets. Young's saint proceeded to seize political power despite public pledges not to do so and ordered the slaughter of thousands of opponents. He then dragged Iran back centuries with the imposition of Shariah law and began exporting the Islamic revolution through terrorism.
The next nauseating episode of Democratic gullibility when it came to Iran involved Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who served in several capacities in the Mullahs' hierarchy in Iran, including Speaker of the Majles, a sort of parliament, and president of Iran from 1989-1997. Rafsanjani is one of the wealthiest men in Iran, his family having earned its fortune in the farming of pistachio nuts. The Clinton administration went to far as to ease sanctions on pistachio nut imports from Iran to the US under the misguided expectation that such a move would win favor with Rafsanjani, who many in the Clinton administration considered a "pragmatist."
The rest is, as they say, history. Clinton's pragmatist was evidently the Ayatollah in direct charge of kicking off Iran's nuclear program to begin with.
In a 2001 speech, Rafsanjani had this to say about nuclear weapons and the conflict with Israel:
"If one day the world of Islam comes to possess the weapons currently in Israel's possession – on that day this method of global arrogance would come to a dead end. This is because the use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground, whereas it will only damage the world of Islam."
This was not Rafsanjani's first statement on nuclear weapons. Before he became president of Iran and long before Bill Clinton's team came along to declare him a pragmatist, Rafsanjani was making worrying statements about Iran and nuclear weapons. In a broadcast over Tehran radio in October 1988, when he was speaker of the Iranian Majlis, Ayatollah Rafsanjani made this chilling declaration that called for the development of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons:
"We should fully equip ourselves both in the offensive and defensive use of chemical, bacteriological and radiological weapons."
Rafsanjani was eventually replaced as president by Ayatollah Mohammad Khatami, another Great Iranian Hope for the Democratic Party in the US. Khatami served as president from 1997 to 2005 and many in the West portrayed him as a champion of reform and dialogue between the West and Iran.
Of course, none of that amounted to anything, perhaps because Khatami, as president, had no authority over foreign policy and served at the pleasure of the Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But, like his predecessors, Khatami was not what he appeared to be. When he was Iran's minister of culture and Islamic propagation, Khatami was directly involved in the creation of Hezbollah, the global Jihadist terrorist organization that has served as Iran's proxy in waging war against the West. It should also be noted that Iran's nuclear program accelerated during Khatami's presidency.
So, now we have Rouhani and Obama's apparent miscalculation to follow in the footsteps of Clinton and Carter before him. The difference now is that the Iranians are so much closer to becoming a nuclear power.

Well, the deed is all but done. The Obamanistas have gotten what they wanted all along: a false detente with the Ayatollahs.
John Kerry would have us believe that the Iranian nuclear program has been frozen by the "agreement" he "hammered" out with Iranian negotiators, but the subsequent remarks from Iranian leaders are very telling; they don't appear to believe that they agreed to anything that truly curtails their nuclear ambitions.
Kerry is lying.
At BEST, this agreement seems to have set back the Iranian nuclear program all of 6 weeks. It is now inevitable that one day we will wake up and turn on the cable news shows and be treated to the news that Iran has nuclear weapons.
Make no mistake, Obama was NEVER committed to preventing the Iranians from becoming armed with nuclear weapons. To Obama's world view, this is simply a balancing of world power. We have more nukes than anyone, so, what difference does it make that Iran has nukes? (Incidentally, this is essentially the same position that some Republicans, notably Rand Paul, have taken.)
Obama also has an underlying animosity toward Israel and no doubt sees Iran as a nuclear power in much the same light as Israel as a nuclear power.
Probably the most disappointing to liberals in the US who purported to support Israel, Hillary Clinton has gone along with the charade. To Hillary Clinton, everything is about political expedience and she sees it in her best political interests not to disagree with Obama on Iran.
In other words, there is no one in power in Washington who is truly concerned about Iran having the atomic bomb.
Leon Panetta may actually have believed it a few years ago when he said that the US would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, but he was being lied to by his colleagues in the Obama administration who claimed to hold that view. No one in the Obama administration is talking like that now.
John Kerry would have us believe that we can just turn sanctions back on like a light switch if the Iranians don't hold up their end of the faux bargain. This is perhaps the biggest lie.
Maybe the US can turn on sanctions again, but such unilateral sanctions will have little effect because the Chinese and the Russians are running full-speed into expanding their operations in the Iranian market now and our allies in Europe, Japan and South Korea are headed back in too. None of those countries, all of whom have closer economic ties to Iran than the US, is likely to turn sanctions back on any time soon. Nope, the genie is out of the bottle.
Meanwhile, the Iranians are up to their usual nefarious activities. They are playing chess and we still think the game is checkers.
A high ranking member of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently stated that Iran has IRGC and Hezbollah sleeper cells inside of America ready to strike targets:
I absolutely believe his claim to be true. There is no reason to doubt it.
President Rouhani took office last year amid wide speculation that he would finally be the long-lost "moderate" who would reach out lovingly to the West. This broken record is really getting tiresome. As if to ensure that the myth is once again disposed of properly, the Iranians have ramped up executions on his watch:
Meanwhile, Iran is using its oil wealth to exert its influence in America's backyard. Through Hezbollah and activities emanating from Iran's diplomatic facilities in the region, the Iranians are becoming involved in terrorism and criminal enterprises…
And as we have pointed out previously, the nuclear agreement with Iran doesn't even mention the Iranians' ballistic missile program:
Finally, amid all their nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile testing and sponsorship of terror, the US, thanks to the Obamanistas, is facilitating the Iranians' access to long frozen financial resources. Money is the most fungible of all commodities. The Iranians might actually tell John Kerry and Barack Obama that this money won't be spent on things like uranium enrichment, ballistic missiles and Hezbollah, but it makes no difference because it would definitely free up Iranian money elsewhere for such activity. We've known for decades that this is what the Ayatollahs do. That's why this deal that John Kerry has perpetrated upon all of Western Civilization is criminal in its effect…

HILLSVILLE — All proposals for developing 91 acres of Carroll-owned land near the Interstate 77-U.S. 58 interchange were due in the county administrator's office last Thursday at 5 p.m.
When asked by The Gazette how many proposals they had received after the deadline, county officials pointed to a sole white, sealed cardboard package sitting on a desk.
The box was hand-delivered by Marshall Lineberry of Weststar Investments, a partner in the effort to bring a 24,744-square-foot, state-of-the-art, multi-million-dollar music venue called the Mayberry Opry Theater to the area as a part of a larger development.
The proposal includes a micro-business park, a 100,000-square-foot outlet mall and a five-story hotel.
This response from the lone developer is consistent with the level of interest shown in the past. When Carroll officials gave a tour of the land involved — the site of the old social services building and the recreation park off Farmers Market Road — only Lineberry showed up.
County officials did not immediately open Lineberry's submission on Thursday.
County Administrator Gary Larrowe has indicated that a behind-the-scenes review by the Carroll Industrial Development Authority, which controls the county land, and negotiations between the landowner and the developer might be needed before the proposal is made public.
In announcing the request for development plans, the IDA signaled that county officials wanted to see plans that would boost local business, jobs, revenue and attractiveness of Exit 14 off Interstate 77 to tourists and travelers.
"The IDA is interested in the development of the property in a manner which will enhance the local and regional economy by providing employment opportunities, increase the tax base of the county and become a destination for visitors that will enhance our tourism initiatives," according to the IDA's request for bids, which was advertised in Virginia and North Carolina.
The request for proposals also asked about the developers' phasing plans, the price for the land, the nature of guarantees offered on the project and financial proof of a party's ability to perform.
The authority members reserved the right to accept or reject any or all of the plans and to negotiate the terms of the sale or land lease further.

Aisling Daly looks to rebound from her August loss at Bellator 25 to tough American Lisa Ward, when she takes on Molly Helsel in the Cage Warriors 39 "The Uprising" in Neptune Stadium in Cork this Saturday night. Speaking en route to the weight-ins Daly described her mood as "incredibly positive all things considered" referring to the fact that she hadn't eaten or drank anything since midday the previous day to make the contracted weight for the fight of 125lbs. The weigh-in wasn't till 3.00pm in the afternoon. While this smacks of unspeakable cruelty to you or I, Daly reckons it's 100 times easier than the previous weight cut where she fought at 115lbs in the Bellator Women's Tournament. Speaking about prefight jitters Daly said she had "healthy nerves, there'd be something wrong if I wasn't a little nervous but I feel good, I feel sharp and I'm stayin focused on my fight plan." Sporting an 8-10 record Helsel will offer a stern test for Daly. "She's well rounded and extremely experienced opponent. I'm expecting her to be strong and maybe a little heavier than me by fight time" said Daly. But Daly isn't concerning herself with what Helsel might do or not do just yet, "I'll stick to my strengths and I feel I'm a more technical fighter in every area". Daly's confidence is justified as her words have been backed up by the deeds with a 9-1 record and world ranking of #5 in her weight class. Also fighting on ""The Uprising" card is Rosi Sexton who is ranked #4, one place higher than Daly in the women's 125lbs division. It will be interesting to see if there is any change to the divisional balance of power after both fights on Saturday night. Update: Aisling Daly weighed in at 125.6lbs within the allowable 1lbs margin of error for the 125lbs weigh class. Molly Helsel weighed in at 125.7lbs. Some tickets are still available from The Boxing Clinic (Cork) and any Cummins Sports Store (Cork). €25 for Balcony seats €30 for Floor Seats €35 for Bleachers Seats €45 for Ringside Seats Fergus Ryan, November 2010

This pretty shrub (unknown variety) is growing in the lava field on Mt. Etna, Sicily.
jim_1 Zone 5B Illinois(5b)
Here is some more flora type stuff. Of course, this is newer (and very common on Etna).
I agree about stuff not growing on other volcanoes, we were on Mauna Kea and Haleakala in Hawaii. Mt. Tiede in Canary Islands was mostly barren, too. However, we were at an drive-in volcano in St. Lucia (Caribbean) and there was stuff growing all over the place.

Afterwards, in his house at Norton in England, on Ascension day, when many knights of his following (familia) had assembled, he renewed this gift, with the assent of all, in the presence of his sons and his daughter with his wife. And his chaplain Theodardus confirmed there, before witnesses, the gift he had made at Combe (Cumbam) in the presence of Osmund bishop of Salisbury and his clerks, namely the churches of Norton and Weston and Eston, and two chapels in the city of Bath with the land and buildings appurtenant, and all the tithe, and a curtilage at Newbury (Niweberiam), on the terms that so long as he lived a clerk, he should enjoy that endowment, and should give the priory (ecclesie) of St. George half-a-marc of gold yearly, and after his death the monks should possess it all.

Ernulf de Hesdin was the son of Ernulf de Hesdin.1 Ernulf de Hesdin was hanged in August 1139 in Shrewsbury for prolonging the defence of Shrewsbury Castle by his nephew, William fitz Alan (who fled abroad) against King Stephen during The Anarchy. Ordericus writes "The king, however, finding that his gentleness had lowered him in the eyes of the revolters, and that in consequence many of the nobles summoned to his court had disdained to appear, was so incensed that he ordered Arnulf and nearly ninety-three others of those who had resisted him to be hung on the gallows, or immediately executed in other ways. Arnulf now repenting too late, and many others on his behalf, supplicated the king, offering a large sum of money for his ransom. But the king preferring vengeance on his enemies to any amount of money, they were put to death without delay."1

Traditional celtic knot symbolizing the inter-connection of mind, body and spirit, surrounded by a mandala-tattoo. I had in done in Dublin when following in my father's footsteps. It reminds me of his unbelievable strength and confidence in the hardest times of his and our lifes.

Press Release:
WASHINGTON, August 5, 2010 – Import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports is expected to total 14.5 million containers for 2010, a 15 percent increase over last year's unusually low numbers as the economy continues its cautious recovery, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
"We aren't back to where we were two years ago and consumers aren't convinced that the recession is over quite yet, but 2010 is clearly going to finish better than last year," NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said. "In the meantime, retailers are monitoring demand very closely and hoping to see increases in employment and other areas that will boost consumer confidence. Cargo numbers this summer are showing unusually high percentage increases, but that appears to be an indication of shortages in shipping capacity earlier in the year rather than sales expectations."
U.S. ports handled 1.32 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units in June, the latest month for which actual numbers are available. That was up 4 percent from May and 30 percent from June 2009. It was the seventh month in a row to show a year-over-year improvement after December broke a 28-month streak of year-over-year declines. One TEU is one 20-foot cargo container or its equivalent.
July was estimated at 1.38 million TEU, a 25 percent increase over last year. August is forecast at 1.32 million TEU, up 14 percent from last year; September also at 1.32 million TEU, up 16 percent; October at 1.31 million TEU, up 10 percent; November at 1.19 million TEU, up 9 percent; and December at 1.12 million TEU, up 2 percent.
The first half of 2010 was estimated at 6.9 million TEU, up 17 percent from the same period last year. The 14.5 million TEU total forecast for 2010 would be up from 12.7 million TEU in 2009, which was the lowest since the 12.5 million TEU reported in 2003. The 2010 number remains below the 15.2 million TEU seen in 2008.
The large double-digit increases in June and July appear to be the result of backlogs built up due to the lack of shipping capacity earlier in the year after ship owners took vessels out of service during the recession and were slow to return them as the economy began to pick up. With many retailers appearing to bring merchandise in early to avoid any further bottlenecks, July is likely to be the peak shipping month for 2010 rather than the traditional rush of holiday season merchandise in October.
"There are indications that the shipping season may have peaked earlier than normal as the rush to re-stock inventories earlier in the year intersects with a combination of increased shipping capacity, consumer confidence levels not seen since August 2009 and the slowing growth of consumer spending," Hackett Associates founder Ben Hackett said. "The traditional peak season may be melting away."
Global Port Tracker, which is produced for NRF by the consulting firm Hackett Associates, covers the U.S. ports of Long Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Hampton Roads, Charleston and Savannah on the East Coast, and Houston on the Gulf Coast.

A 31-year-old Los Montoyas woman was booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center early Saturday morning after crashing her vehicle into the front of Trujillo's Package Liquors/Lupe's Lounge at 820 N. Grande Ave.
Las Vegas police say Jessica Montoya was under the influence at the time of the crash. She is facing charges of driving while intoxicated, criminal damage to property, driving on a suspended or revoked license and having no registration.
Nearly two years after retiring from his position as a San Miguel County magistrate judge, Philip Romero has agreed to never again serve as a judge after running afoul of the state's Judicial Standards Commission.
If you've driven by Walmart in the last week, you've likely noticed the temporary car dealership that has sprung up in the store's parking lot.
Not everyone's happy with the situation, and that resulted in quite a bit of drama at City Hall this week.
At issue is whether Santa Fe Mazda-Volvo — the business that set up the temporary car lot — should have been given an 11-day special use permit to sell vehicles in Las Vegas. The city's Board of Adjustment approved the 11-day special use permit last month.
ALBUQUERQUE — West Las Vegas moved a step closer to the elusive state boys' basketball championship over the weekend, but the Hope Christian dynasty remains intact.
Hope (27-4), ranked No. 1 all winter in Class 4A, earned a third consecutive state title and the program's 13th under head coach Jim Murphy by beating West 69-57 on Saturday at WisePies Arena AKA The Pit.
Several familiar names are in the running to be the next superintendent of Wagon Mound Public Schools.
Sheryl McNellis-Martinez, former Las Vegas City Schools superintendent, and current West Las Vegas High School principal John Bustos are finalists. Also on the list is former Wagon Mound School employee Casey Benavidez and current Wagon Mound elementary employee Nicaea Chavez.
The board is expected to take action at its regular board meeting Wednesday on the replacement for Albert Martinez, who is retiring.

Highlands University
The New Mexico State Senate voted Friday to confirm two Highlands University alumnae and a student to serve as new members on the university's Board of Regents.
LouElla Marr-Montoya of Las Vegas and Sandra Turner of Clovis were named to serve six-year terms that end Dec. 31, 2020. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martínez nominated both women for appointment to the Board of Regents.
• The Las Vegas Municipal Court will be closed through Wednesday, March 18 for court software conversation and software training. The court will re-open at 9 a.m. on Thursday, March 19.
• Story Time at Carnegie Library is at 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18 in the children's area of the public library. This week's book is "Word Bird's New Friend" by Jane Moncure. Free and open to the public.
By The Associated Press and Optic Staff
SANTA FE — Longtime Sen. Phil Griego resigned from the New Mexico Senate on Saturday amid a growing controversy involving his role in the sale of a state-owned building.
If you feel as if there are fewer people in San Miguel County than in previous years, you're not imagining things.
New figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday confirm that the population in San Miguel County is shrinking.
There were 384 fewer people living in the county in July 2014 than in July 2013, a population decrease of 1.3 percent. From April 2010 to July of 2014, San Miguel County has lost an estimated 1,154 residents.

Great product, convenient form of Gula Melaka
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by junejuniadin on Apr 06, 2014
Coconut sugar has been a staple in Malay cooking/baking and is known as gula melaka. However, gula melaka usually comes in chunky blocks which requires shaving. So this coconut sugar is a more convenient form to use, although I have to say the aroma is not as strongly sweet as gula melaka. Still, to be used as a substitute for white sugar, this is a great product~

Another Old Bottle Project-Fairy Bottle
Check these out, my granddaughter and I made them today using some die-cuts bought from Michael's, yard sale bottles, wire,beads,sequins, glitter, sparkly fillers, and heart charms. My sister bought the colored bottles for me at a yard sale. I'm going to try others with larger jars, and some old medicine bottles.
Go check them out...
Here is a link that might be useful: Kudzu's Blog
thank you all. Minnie I checked them all out, I can't believe after these few years I still don't check the gallery side. They're beautiful, I have some like the ones on the shelf, I always put them in a pot of flowers. Some are missing arms, or part of their wings, but still adorable :D I don't know what it is about mermaids and fairies, but I love them! Oddie, I had the most fun making fairy jars with my grandkids pics. I used photoshop, but you could just print out some fairy wings you'll find online somewhere, or out of a magazine, or draw some and color them. Print out the photo of the child, use their body, or put their head on another body. Such fun! They'll be tickled,too. Add a crown or newspaper hat, or party hat.
I saw some real pretty butterflys at walmmart in the flower section I would like to use, would make it look 3d, one of my programs has a crown I can add to the photo, just need to get out of my slump amd make one.
Thanks for getting me started! will share when I do.

bathroom light/fan wiring question / problem
Hello forum,
I've got a bathroom that has a single switch in it that operates both the bathroom fan and the light fixtures. I'd like to separate the two to run on their own switches.
After turning off the power to the bathroom, I've opened up the box containing the switch to find 4 sets of wires. Each set has a white wire that have all been twisted together with a wire nut. I'm pretty sure theses are all my neutrals. This leaves 4 wires that have all been painted black and white. These 4 wires are twisted together in pairs with another wire nut and each of those has a 3rd wire used to connect to each end of the switch.
Here is where my confusion begins. I assumed that the 4 black/white wires in the box went to (1) Source of power (2) lights (3) fan (4) additional power source (realized this was wrong pretty quick). I purchased a double switch and hooked up (1) and (2) to switch1 and (3) and (4) to switch2. I turned the power back on and flipped switch1 to find the light and fan come on. Next I flipped switch2, which did apparently nothing. Using a wire a tester I quickly discovered that (1) is correct, (2) lights/fan, (3) no clue, and (4) goes to an outlet in the next room. I also found that in this configuration that turning on switch1 and then switch2 activates the outlet in the next room; however, turning on switch2 by itself does nothing.
So, my questions are:
(a) Can someone explain how these wires are probably hooked up and what in the world have I done?
(b) How do I hook the wires back up in the time being? Right now, I believe that (1) and (4) should be connected together and (2) and (3) should be connected back together. And the pair of (1/4) should go to one part of the switch and the pair of (2/3) to the other.
(c) How can I accomplish my original goal to separate the fan/light
Also, thanks in advance for any insight or advice.
(1) is the source of power, as you surmised and determined empirically. One of the cables goes to another room and the switch does not affect it. The black from that cable is paired with the black of the cable from the power source and a pigtail from that junction goes to the switch to power it. The other two blacks are one for the fan and one for the light. Since there is just one circuit, the whites can be left spliced together. The blacks for the light and fan each need to be controlled by separate switches. A 2-gang box must be installed instead of the single gang you now have. The existing single gang must be really crowded. It probably exceeds box fill specifications.
Ah, yes. Thanks for the assist.
Light and fan are now on their own switch. I think I probably would have had it right the first time if I had bothered to read the back of the new switch. Apparently this whole time I had it wired backwards, which explains why the light/fan still came on when the top switch was turned on. (1) and (4) were hooked up to the sides marked a and b while (2) and (3) were hooked up to the sides marked common. Oops. Common was also linked together with a metal tab, which should have been a give away.
