Favorite Red Irises on the AIS blog today
Hi all,
I finally finished the post on red irises. There are beautiful photos from our own Gottagarden and many others. Thanks to all who chimed in with opinions or who gave me the use of their lovely photos.
Here is a link that might be useful: AIS World of Irises Blog
Beautiful as always, Renee. I know that hemerocallis hybridizers have been busy trying to get a true red daylily--red as in Sanny Claus red, not rust or claret. And they're pretty much there. Anyone working on that in the iris family? My guess is that it might be more difficult for irises, but from a botanical standpoint I couldn't tell you why exactly.
Yes, I love my 'Dixie Land Band' red daylily- it's red!
Yes, they are working on it, but there are no red pigments in irises. Here's a link to an article that explains what they are trying to accomplish.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Hunt for the Red Iris Continues
Thanks for the NYT article, Renee, but I had to laugh at the underlying principle of it all--human folly. Ain't it always the way with homo sapiens? Roses bloom red effortlessly, yet we struggle to breed a blue one. Irises bloom bluer than blue, but that's not good enough--we drive ourselves batty trying to make a red one. Sheesh!!

The International Monetary Fund and Latin America
The Argentine Puzzle in Context
Claudia Kedar
Reviewed in the Spring 2015 issue of Latin American Politics and Society. The review read, "Kedar's book on the role of the IMF in Argentina is a truly welcome addition. It provides perhaps one of the most comprehensive accounts of the fund's historical interaction with the region since the establishment of the Bretton Woods institutions.... [T]he book is a well-written and thoroughly enjoyable piece of research. It adds an important revisionist perspective to IMF-Argentine relations and depicts a far more nuanced and mutually dependent relationship than is commonly portrayed, both in Latin America and elsewhere.... This is an excellent book, which anyone interested in IMF relations with Latin America, and even the fund more generally, should read."
Sex and the Founding Fathers
The American Quest for a Relatable Past
Thomas A. Foster
Reviewed in the March 2015 issue of the Journal of American History. The review read, "Foster tells us that each new generation has inquired into the intimate lives of great men and found reflections of its own habits and desires and anxieties....Using the methods of intellectual and cultural history, Foster examines contemporary and scholarly interpretations of the sex lives of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Gouvernor Morris. Foster holds that we read and write about our Founding Fathers' intimate habits because we want these icons of masculinity to be relatable. Foster is right; we do seek ourselves in our histories."
Softly, with Feeling
Joe Wilder and the Breaking of Barriers in American Music
Edward Berger
Reviewed in the March 2015 issue of Jazzwise. The review read, "A major strand of this well-wrought biography is a lengthy examination of the mid-century employment possibilities for African-American musicians in commercial and symphonic music.... [I]f ever a book cried out for a bound-in CD...it is this one, for its text is suffused with praise for Wilder's trumpet tone, his lyrical grace and total assurance whatever the musical circumstances."
Out in the Union
A Labor History of Queer America
Miriam Frank
Featured in the winter-spring 2015 issue of Work History News, a newsletter published by the New York Labor History Association. A review of Frank's book read, "Out in the Union tells the important, often neglected story of the intersection between union folks and gay folks as it evolves through time. In the early 21st century, this seems like a surprising overlap, but Frank demonstrates, through densely researched political and labor history and through direct personal narrative, how these two threads have been braided, and need to remain so as we continue to fight for social justice. Frank explains the history and the structure of the labor movement in the USA by putting compelling stories of local change within regional, national, and temporal frames.... Frank's important book will continue to shape policy, organizing, and scholarship for years to come."
Envisioning Emancipation
Black Americans and the End of Slavery
Deborah Willis and Barbara Krauthamer
Reviewed in the February 2015 issue of the Journal of Southern History. The review read, "This fascinating collection demonstrates not only a broad range of photographic technologies, but also the numerous ways African Americans actively participated in the photographic practice.... [they] reveal how complicated the process of emancipation and freedom could be.... [T]hrough Willis and Krauthamer's efforts [historians] may also come to know what emancipation looked like and how those freed participated in and responded to the event. The authors expertly use historical photographs to deepen our understanding of the black experience of slavery and emancipation."
America's First Adventure in China
Trade, Treaties, Opium, and Salvation
John R. Haddad
Reviewed in the February 2015 issue of Pacific Historical Review. The review read, "John R. Haddad is to be congratulated for taking a large and long view of American relations with China, 1784-1870.... [T]he analysis of the intricacies of U.S. diplomacy through this period is quite good."
Just Queer Folks
Gender and Sexuality in Rural America
Colin R. Johnson
Reviewed in the February 2015 issue of the American Historical Review. The review read, "In this book Johnson takes to task many of the central assumptions historians and others make about gender and sexuality in America: that rural spaces were especially heteronormative; that queer people were typically progressive; that queer behavior was uncommon in rural places; that Americans' discourse about sexuality developed in cities and later spread to the countryside; and that the twentieth century witnessed a gradual increase in the erotic, emotional, and political possibility with regards to gender and sexuality. To these assumptions Johnson brings a wealth of evidence to the contrary.... It is difficult to do justice to either the sweeping claims or the nuanced insights that enliven the pages of this book in such a short review. It suffices to say, though, that the field has been waiting for this book. Elegantly written, forcefully argued, heterodox but also humane, Just Queer Folks is a model of historical scholarship."
Reviewed in the February 2015 issue of Economic History Review. The review read, "The International Monetary Fund and Latin America provides insights into local politics and the politics of international bodies, and the capacity of events to surprise even seasoned practitioners. There is accessible background on the politics and economies of Argentinian decline (and frustrated attempts to reverse decline).... Kedar also confirms the cynical assessment that, if you visit the doctor at the Fund, you know what the prescription will be."
Consuming Work
Youth Labor in America
Yasemin Besen-Cassino
Reviewed in the February 2015 issue of Gender & Society. The review read, "Consuming Work is a book of uncommon breadth. The book is divided into six substantive chapters and examines a range of considerations relating to the subject of youth work.... Besen-Cassino covers tremendous ground, utilizing a range of materials for analysis including ethnographic, in-depth interview and survey data on youth workers between the ages of 16 and 21.... The take-away is greater breadth of understanding of the complex field of youth employment and a deeper appreciation of the meaning and purpose with which American youth who do work, work.... [W]e are left with a deeper appreciation of the role meaning plays in structuring youth labor, how inequalities in work are reproduced, and the shifting terrain of youths' social worlds."
Conceiving Masculinity
Male Infertility, Medicine, and Identity
Liberty Walther Barnes
Reviewed online first in the February 2015 issue of Gender & Society. The review read, "In Conceiving Masculinity, Barnes deftly analyzes the bind that male infertility doctors encounter: they need to debunk the stereotype that infertility is a woman's issue in order to attract clients and advance their profession, yet they feel compelled to protect the masculinity of their clients in face-to-face interaction.... Conceiving Masculinity is an accessible read that could inform students in gender, health, and sexuality courses. Barnes' attention to the interactions between levels of gender results in an intriguing analysis of how gender is reconstructed even in context where it is professionally beneficial to challenge cultural assumptions about men and reproduction."
Out in the Union
A Labor History of Queer America
Miriam Frank
Reviewed in the January/February 2015 issue of Against the Current. The review read, "By recounting this history of U.S. queer labor organizing from the 1960s to the present, Frank is uncovering a largely unknown history, in the process helping to fill a large gap in both U.S. labor and queer history.... Out in the Union places queer history within the broader context of labor history of the United States, helping to foster a greater understanding of the interplay between larger developments in the labor movement and queer labor activism. Above all else, Miriam Frank's examination is a history of queer labor activism that tells this history from the perspective of queer workers at the grassroots.... Out in the Union deserves a wide readership by activists in the labor movement, both straight and LGBT. It is a major contribution to both the fields of queer history and labor history. For the first time, a broad history of queer activism within the U.S. labor movement has been published, asserting that queer people work to make a living too, and have fought hard to combat discrimination both at work and in their unions."
Reviewed in Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory, 2014. The review read, "Johnson draws from the early twentieth century to amass the impressive archive of country queerness that challenges both the political Right's and the mainstream gay and lesbian community's image of American rurality.... It is his ability to read the expanse of rural America that makes Johnson's book an extraordinary contribution to what he recognizes as the 'rural turn' in queer studies over the last decade.... One of Johnson's most astute contributions to the rural turn is his ability to explain the difficulty for scholars to breach the rural-urban divide.... Johnson's book is an accomplishment of seeing beyond established boundaries of queer studies, to the queer folks who have established lives 'out there,' in the unknowns of rural America."
The International Monetary Fund and Latin America
The Argentine Puzzle in Context
Claudia Kedar
Featured in a combined review in the January 2015 issue of Latin American Perspectives. The review read, "The International Monetary Fund and Latin America traces the long path of this multilateral agency's relations with Argentina.... A welcome aspect of the book is its calling attention to the way the IMF's dependency routine...is imposed and the fact that without relationships with the countries in which it acts it just would not happen.... [The book] enriche[s] the field of international relations [and] provide[s] us with valuable insights."
The Public and Its Possibilities
Triumphs and Tragedies in the American City
John D. Fairfield
Featured in a review essay in the January 2015 issue of the Journal of Urban History. The review read, "[A] sweeping account of democracy in urban America...Fairfield's impressive synthesis brings together decades of secondary literature covering American urban and political history in a narrative that locates the city as the testing ground for more expansive definitions of citizenship and national belonging."
On Intellectual ActivismPatricia Hill Collins
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Contemporary Sociology. The review read, "On Intellectual Activism is a welcome addition to the conversation about the deeply contradictory relationship between the academy and the street, between scholars and the movement, and what progressive and revolutionary intellectuals must do. Patricia Hill Collins speaks truth to the people and truth to power in the voice of black feminism and a politically engaged intellectual activism in the service of twenty-first century social justice, a project she envisions to confront today's gender, race, sexual, and class oppression, exploitation, and injustice in the United States and global society.... On Intellectual Activism is an accessible and rich toolbox. Collins uses storytelling, translates the language of academic theory into the language of people's lives, and clarifies new forms of racism and oppression. Her voice resonates with multiple publics—students, scholars, and communities. She offers a reality check and a refreshing critique of dominant and mainstream voices and forces in sociology and society. She validates the experience of sociological rebels and intellectual activists who are marginalized within the discipline, the profession, and the university where many of us practice our craft and juggle the contradictions of academic survival and social justice demands."
Catheters, Slurs, and Pickup Lines
Professional Intimacy in Hospital Nursing
Lisa C. Ruchti
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Contemporary Sociology. The review read, "[A]n insightful, well-written, and well-organized book that discusses how framing nursing as professional labor has been an important part of a long battle that nurses have fought to be taken seriously in the medical industry. Ruchti suggests that a dichotomy of professionalism and care persists in part because intimacy, as part of bedside care, seems unprofessional. In this book, Ruchti uncovers how professionally intimate care work fits into the larger system of commercialized and commodified intimacies and demonstrates how nurses, administrators, and patients idealize care, which only serves to reinforce the misunderstanding of this labor.... The book should be of significant use to anyone interested in patient and quality healthcare, the nursing profession, the growing diversity in nursing, and implications for the nursing shortage."
How We Die Now
Intimacy and the Work of Dying
Karla A. Erickson
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Contemporary Sociology. The review read, "[A]t the end of the book, in its final chapters as it were, that issues of dying are really addressed.... Erickson values longer life, thinks that the dependency it brings can be a good thing, can teach us all more about interdependency and caring."
Resisting Work
The Corporatization of Life and Its Discontents
Peter Fleming
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Contemporary Sociology. The review read, "Fleming argues that our very lives are becoming corporatizationalized and that it is now increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to separate the work self from the private self. This phenomenon comes not from individuals choosing to invest more of their time and energy into their work, but rather from people being forced, most often implicitly, into breaking down the barriers that separate the public and private spheres.... Fleming's prose and use of vignettes, stories, and data help to provide any reader with a solid command of the material by the end of the book. Resisting Work is important for anyone interested in the changing nature of work and what it means for the lives of the workers."
Reviewed on the Labor Notes website January 7. The review read, "The comprehensive new history, Out in the Union, reveals previously uncollected stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer labor activists and activism for LGBTQ equality.... Most histories tend to 'heterowash' any LGBTQ person's truth—if their stories are told at all. This significant book uncovers the truths too often hidden away, adding to the experiences of many LGBTQ leaders to labor's collective history. These stories are essential to a contemporary understanding of union solidarity."
The Outsider
Albert M. Greenfield and the Fall of the Protestant Establishment
Dan Rottenberg
Reviewed in the January 4 issue of Ticket, a supplement to the Main Line Times. The review read, "History buffs will enjoy a fascinating biography of Albert M. Greenfield, a real estate tycoon whose long career helped shaped Philadelphia in the 20th Century.... In this engaging and thoroughly researched book, Rottenberg brings to life a man who befriended presidents Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson, as well as Pennsylvania politicians of his day. He also forged coalitions between Jews, Catholics and blacks during his long career."
Softly, with Feeling
Joe Wilder and the Breaking of Barriers in American Music
Edward Berger
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "Berger makes another excellent contribution to jazz literature with this biography of the unsung trumpeter Joe Wilder (1922-2014). Wilder's life was not particularly filled with drama, but this dignified gentleman suffered the expected incidents of racism while coming of age in Philadelphia, in road bands, and in the armed forces during WW II.... Berger describes the racial integration...in detail. He also chronicles Wilder's long recording career, and includes a discography. Summing Up: Recommended."
Also reviewed on Ethan Iverson's influential blog, Do the Math on January 21. The entry read, "Ed Berger does jazz history a special service by getting to know his heroes while working on biographies that end up being unusually definitive.... Berger also makes it crystal clear that playing jazz was just part of Wilder's story. Breaking of Barriers in American Music lives up to its title as Wilder helps integrate the Armed Forces, Broadway, staff orchestras, and symphonic orchestras. I was especially impressed with Berger's research."
The NFLCritical and Cultural Perspectives
edited by Thomas P. Oates and Zack Furness
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "The National Football League continues to have a significant cultural impact on American life. But how and why has this occurred? This interesting and informative collection of critical essays does an admirable job of answering this question.... This worthwhile volume is enhanced by a comprehensive index. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
The War on Slums in the Southwest
Public Housing and Slum Clearance in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, 1935-1965
Robert B. Fairbanks
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "This thoroughly researched regional study of how five southwestern cities—Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Phoenix, and Albuquerque—approached slum clearance and public housing has value for students interested in regionalism, urbanism, and the politics of social welfare.... Fairbanks provides a unique regional perspective useful for undergraduates and specialists alike. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
Making a Global Immigrant Neighborhood
Brooklyn's Sunset Park
Tarry Hum
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "Hum presents a compelling analysis of contemporary economic and racial dynamics in the primarily Asian and Latino Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. With a long family history in the neighborhood, she brings a community insider's approach to this primarily qualitative study. Throughout the work, the author is also engaged in a broader theoretical project. Rejecting the traditional scholarly conceptualization of immigrant neighborhoods as ghettos or enclaves, Hum attempts to situate neighborhood formations and social and economic change in Sunset Park in an analytical context that takes in the influences of the postindustrial urban economy, the racialization of immigrant populations, and the neoliberal policy environment that has prevailed in New York City in recent decades..... [T]his work will be of strongest interest to undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of Asian American studies, urban studies, and urban planning. Summing Up: Highly Recommended."
The Concept of the Social in Uniting the Humanities and Social Sciences
Michael E. Brown
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "The argument advanced in this book is that the social is a fundamental, irreducible given that should be the central object of inquiry in the social sciences and humanities. Brown makes this case in what he surely views as a major corrective to these broad scholarly fields."
Reviewed in the January 2015 issue of Choice. The review read, "Frank conducted over 100 personal interviews across two decades before compiling this well-researched account of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transsexuals involved with local, regional, and nationwide labor unions. The author chronicles intersections between LGBT social and political movements, and labor movements, in the US from 1965 to 2013.... Its insightful coverage of variously sized unions and types of work places—discussing both strengths and weaknesses—gives readers a good historical look at the ebb and flow of relationships between 'queer' America and labor movements. Additionally, the book discusses some of the relationship problems at home, as interviewees reflect on their transitions of becoming involved in social or union activism. The thorough notes, bibliography, and index make this a good resource for future researchers on social history, gender studies, labor movements, and LGBT/queer movements. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
Women in Politics in the American City
Mirya R. Holman
Reviewed in the January, 2015 issue of Library Journal. The review read, "Holman poses an unusual question on a topic few have studied: Does electing women to municipal office make a difference in policy decisions? The author answers that women mayors and council members bring a neglected perspective to policymaking and support women's issues...more frequently than men in local office.... Holman's research relies on interviews and surveys, and the book is replete with tables and diagrams, copious notes, an extensive bibliography, and several appendixes."

The review read, "The core argument of the book is that neoliberalism and managerialism have proved themselves to be unworkable, undermining many of the social supports that they rely on to operate.... firmly grounded in critical and neo-Marxist perspectives, which inform its analysis and central conclusions.... [Its] strength comes from its juxtaposition of debates that usually take place within different communities.... [I]t is thought provoking to reconsider these questions from the perspective of exploitation and class struggle. Some of the most compelling material lies in the analysis of how earlier approaches to management by culture have given way to a system in which workers are encouraged not to conform to corporate culture but rather to bring their whole selves to work in order to better benefit the firm... The book makes many intriguing points... [and] provides a valuable perspective on extremely timely and important issues."
God Talk
Experimenting with the Religious Causes of Public Opinion
Paul A. Djupe and Brian R. Calfano
Reviewed in the Winter 2014 issue of Public Opinion Quarterly. The review read, "God Talk provides a rich account of how religion shapes candidate and policy preferences. Through carefully constructed, executed, and analyzed experiments, the authors provide a more precise explanation of how religion is politically consequential.... God Talk offers one of the most thorough accounts of how religion functions in contemporary American politics, particularly in the context of political communication. The authors describe the bounds of elite influence, and they generate a more psychologically informed description of how religious labels serve as social identities. The book is an important read for those interested in the dynamics of public opinion and attitude change."

The Archival Turn in Feminism
Outrage in Order
Kate Eichhorn
Featured in a review essay in the Winter 2015 issue of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. The review read, "The Archival Turn in Feminism is a trenchant engagement with archival research of activist feminist practices during the 1990s and early 2000s.... Eichhorn thoughtfully interrogates feminist archival practice to think about the relationship between the practices of archiving and feminist activism during the past forty years, and she generously encourages readers to do the same.... Eichhorn's chapter on the Riot Grrrl movement is interesting and provocative... [Her] attention to method and her innovative approach, combining ethnography, archival research, and cultural theory, mark The Archival Turn as a productive contribution to conversations about feminist methodologies."
Resisting Work
The Corporatization of Life and Its Discontents
Peter Fleming
Reviewed in the December 2014 issue of Labor Studies Journal. The review read, The review read, "Fleming outlines a progression of capitalist management through several eras. Fleming closes this interesting book with a section proposing that in the current era, in which work has penetrated all of life, the only effective response is an 'exit' from work, where workers refuse to demand recognition but instead silently turn away. This, too, is not a new idea in the world of work resistance but is provocative nonetheless.... Resisting Work is a substantial and worthwhile read for theoreticians."

Reviewed in the December 2014 issue of The Journal of American History read, "In Church and State in the City the venerable historian William Issel provides an in-depth examination of the juxtaposition of Catholic teaching—both social and economic—and the search for a vision of the public interest as it played out in San Francisco's public policy-making debates from the 1890s to the 1970s.... [T]his impressive political history of twentieth-century San Francisco will be fruitful reading for any student interested in urban history in general, or group-based politics in particular."
Also reviewed in the December 2014 issue of The Journal of Church and State read, "William Issel integrates religious, political, and economic history into a largely persuasive interpretation of San Francisco's history that places religion at the center of public life from the twentieth century's earliest years to its final decades.... The work draws deeply from Issel's lifetime study of San Francisco, and the result is an impressively detailed exploration of those whose voices rose to significance in the debates.... Readers...will no doubt appreciate Issel's thorough presentation of the way one religious denomination helped to steer a significant American city as its residents sought to define and work toward the common good."

Longtime "Late Show" TV host David Letterman had announced that he would retire sometime in 2015. CBS wasted little time in announcing his replacement: Comedian Stephen Colbert has signed a five-year contract to host the late night variety show.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 49-year-old Colbert has hosted Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" since 2005. The question is asked: Will Colbert remain in his Comedy Central character?
Evidently not, as Colbert told Bill Carter of The New York Times, "I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me. I'm looking forward to it."
Check out our fine selection of Bibles -- by going here!
"Specific creative elements" would be determined and announced at a later date, according to CBS. Colbert had long been named as a possible successor to Letterman for years. The swiftness of Letterman's retirement announcement came as a surprise.
CBS said, "Colbert's premiere date as host of 'The Late Show' will be announced after Mr. Letterman determines a timetable for his final broadcasts in 2015."
Letterman approved the decision by saying that Colbert had "always been a real friend to me.
"I'm very excited for him, and I'm flattered that CBS chose him," Letterman said. "I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses."
Les Moonves, president and CEO of CBS Corp., called Colbert "one of the most inventive and respected forces on television . David Letterman's legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today's announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night."
Comedy Central also praised Colbert this week, saying, "We look forward to the next eight months of the ground-breaking 'Colbert Report' and wish Stephen the very best."
The announcement means that Colbert will compete with the 11:30 p.m. time slot of his current show, which means he'll no longer have his friend Jon Stewart as a lead-in.
Colbert naturally had the last laugh with the announcement.
"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," he said. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."

The Vavasour family have a strong historical background. They can trace their ancestry back to the time of the Norman invasion of England. One of their ancestors is thought to have been a 'taster' for William the Conqueror. The rooster on the label is from the family crest, the emblem on the rooster is an indication of the family's lineage.The Vavasours arrived in New Zealand and established themselves in the Awatere Valley in 1890. Nearly a century later in the early 1980's Peter Vavasour took a keen interest in the viticultural developments of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough. After some research it was found that the climate and soils of the Awatere region were quite similar to those of the Wairau. In fact, the soil in the Awatere Valley is less fertile (this is a good thing) than the Wairau. Low fertility naturally restricts vigour in the vine. The Awatere Valley is also drier, and with no underground water the vines are bound to struggle. At Vavasour we can control the growth of the vine with the irrigation water. Although the conditions in the Wairau are similar, there are enough differences between the two valleys for us to make unique and individual wines. In 1985, after the site was carefully assessed, the Vavasour family and friends decided to make a serious investment in viticulture - Vavasour Wines was established. The first vineyards (30 acres) planted in the region were on the Vavasour 'home' block. This vineyard was made up of two terraces. The top terrace was planted in Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, while the lower terrace was planted in red varietals - Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet. Our first vintage was 1989. Within three years we had won numerous gold medals in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Glenn Thomas, winemaker, won 'winemaker of the year' in 1992. This was a very good start. Those first years officially put the Awatere Valley on the map of great wine making regions. Vavasour have gradually increased production since the early days. We have planted a further 45 acres( a total of 75 acres) and we have contract growers in both the Awatere and Wairau valleys. We are dedicated to the Awatere region and our philosophy is to concentrate on fruit grown in the area. Selected grapes are handpicked; this ensures that only the best fruit makes it into the bottle. Our vineyards are trained on the 'vertical shoot positioning' trellis. This form of trellising suits our growing conditions: it also makes it easier if we have to manipulate the canopy due to seasonal growing conditions. Between Glenn (winemaker) and Allan (viticulturist) every effort has been made to ensure that the vineyard and viticultural techniques are adapted to suit the conditions of the Awatere region. After all great wine is made in the vineyard. In all its viticultural techniques Vavasour have focussed on quality over quantity. The intrinsic value characters of the Awatere valley are perfect for the production of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. The emphasis remains on Sauvignon Blanc, however other varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling will receive the golden 'Vavasour' touch.. Read less

Alice Lipowicz reports on a survey of journalists who say that federal agencies almost always restrict access to agency officials for interviews.
An agency's public affairs department can be either a blessing or a curse for a journalist, sometimes a bit of each. The release of the survey provides an opportunity to offer some tips for public affairs officers who want to help get their agency's message out. (Sometimes the PAO's job is to try to prevent reporters from getting access or information; the tips below won't be of much help in those cases.)
* Make officials available as quickly as possible. Reporters work on deadlines, and if you can line up an interview appointment two days after the deadline passes, it does no good.* While monitoring the interview, let the interviewee answer the questions. Speak up if the interviewee misspeaks, or to fill in data that the interviewee doesn't have at his fingertips, but otherwise sit back and let the agency official do most of the talking. * Respond quickly if a reporter needs a few facts for an article, or to clarify something said in an earlier interview. Again, time is usually a factor, especially for reporters writing for an online news site or daily newspaper. * Don't ask to see an article before publication. Most reputable media outlets won't allow this, but most reporters will be happy to discuss specific points where you might be concerned about a misunderstanding.* Be pro-active about promoting positive news, including offering officials for interviews. The media is often accused of never covering the good news, but that is in part because people don't let us know when there is good news. We're not mind-readers. Well, not most of us.
* A reporter's relationship to the organizations on which he or she reports can sometimes be adversarial. Our job is to inform the public, not necessarily to make a particular agency look good. But most reporters are responsible professionals who aren't interested in sensationalizing the news. We appreciate candor, and we need responsiveness, and we try to report fairly and accurately. A good public affairs officer can play a pivotal role in making that possible.

As an avid reader and listener of the news from many sources for over 35 years as well as being in contact with people from groups being reported on, I can tell you that the typical journalist has no problem twisting what is really going on to either sensationalize the news or to add their personal bias to the point that their reports to the public are just a shadow of the truth. Often they show no respect to those they report on. Until the so-called journalists develop a strong sense of honesty and other morals for their profession, I do not see a strong need to cooperate with most of them.
You need to survey the public affairs specialists on the crap journalists pull. -- Seen it from both sides now.
You should really consider spending a few weeks in the role of a public affairs officer. For an unbiased perspective. It may change your opinion on "most reporters are responsible professionals who aren't interested in sensationalizing the news."

WASHINGTON: The top question on defense lawmakers' minds right now is: "Can we trust you with the people's money?"

Justin Timberlake + Jimmy Fallon Cover Hootie and the Blowfish [VIDEO]
Justin Timberlake and his pal Jimmy Fallon returned to Camp Winnipesaukee in their latest hilarious skit for the TV host's late night talk show.
Justin Timberlake and his pal Jimmy Fallon returned to Camp Winnipesaukee in their latest hilarious skit for the TV host's late night talk show.
Justin Timberlake is crying a river for his mother's bank account right about now. The 'Take Back the Night' singer's aunt, Jane Harless, is accused of stealing $64,000 from her brother, Paul -- who's married to Timberlake's mom, Lynn.
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have brought us many great television moments together: their classic 'History of Rap' series, a barbershop-quartet version of 'Sexyback,' the talk-show host dubbing JT the "President of Pop" at last month's MTV VMAs. Well, get ready to add one more highlight to the list: 'The Evolution of End Zone Dancing'!
Jessica Biel is now legally Jessica Timberlake. The actress has officially taken her husband Justin Timberlake's last name nearly a year after swapping vows. The actress always said she would take this step. Now it's just signed, sealed and delivered.
Jessica Biel has officially become Jessica Timberlake! Though she married Justin Timberlake in October 2012, the '7th Heaven' actress finally changed her legal name, taking on her hubby's.
Ellie Goulding and Justin Timberlake are both incredible talents in their own rights, and now we can see (or, rather, hear) what they may come up with should they ever join forces. The British chanteuse performed a cover of the Renaissance man's new classic 'Mirrors,' and it was just as beautiful as you'd expect.
Justin Timberlake has been fully immersed in music for the past year, but he hasn't shed his love of acting while reclaiming his pop music throne. The president of pop, as christened by Jimmy Fallon, still wants to do films, and one role he'd love to play?
It was almost a boy band brouhaha and throwdown when Justin Timberlake allegedly declared that his former boy band 'N Sync are/were better than current genre rulers One Direction. Whoa! WTF is up with dat?
A bummed-out Jay-Z watching Mike Tyson losing his first bout.... Justin Timberlake crooning in front of a burning white limo -- what does it all mean? It means the official video for Jigga's 'Holy Grail' is here!
Though a lot of parents, some feminists, some members of the black community and plenty of actual twerkers took issue with Miley Cyrus' 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance, one person in particular dug it: the man of the night, Justin Timberlake.

So... beautiful. I'm ve-rr-y amused, a v-tranny o' this here life, and those old skooo Donnays, still never cease to a-maze. Just proves to show that big-D's are better than today's hollowed-Babolat hurricanes whiz, fails. Donnays are like glittle queen gold fish and trannies, tragedies, hanging by the barbie-wire, shish-kebobed, without tailes...they're so beuatiful, the way they shimmer, like that, like they was at a disco with cowjoy bob, and kylie, so very beautiful...I wish all my rackets could be sobeautiful, but they're not, not a one, not a single citrus, aqua-marine, inpsired, SWATCH, just swatch in my collection. Donnay why'd you go and paint your frames all boring and black now, hah? When they used to be so beautiful. Back in the day, that's what it's all about for me. Back in the day, eating monster nachos with jalapenos from Jack N' the Box, those were the bistros I remember, and what I wold not do now, to grafitti art my high-class frames. Old schkooo Donnays is the kind of rakcets porcupines and pine sol would use if he had hands...ohh, that racket and them hands would smell sooo good together, I just knew it. Donnay-stands for most beuatiful rackets himmer sticks on a kebob, in ever light, every one of them, an inspired, masterpiece, of throwup art, subliminally I'm suggesting ou throw them up right now, and leave 'em outside bfre ou tell anyone else, that wa I oucld steal them without know one else knowing, or you even remembering, oh, how I would love m Donnays...but then, I wouldn't be able to brag about them publicly, which would kinda maek e'm ...suck! Oh, man, can't win right can u, without actually buing them...but if I stole them form some kid, who would he tell, who would isten? They'd just hear his tears...gawww, wahhhh, he'd, you'd, you'd, that TRANNY! stole my Donnays! "Who, me? Gotta go. HE-he...oh, boy," what'd I get myself into now:confused:utifully fulfilling. Do you fill in colors, hwen you play with old school Donnay? Why can't we be a stree tgrafitti generations like it was in the rockin' 80s? Everone had funny hair, and it was ok. Even some businessmen thought it was ok to sill carr the party over in the back. Have you ever heard a glam-queen of the board room hankerchief a donnay to his forehead, by the hanle or the brave, and declare today is two heads are better than one day, @ ross...then, watch the stampede as everyone runs over to Ross, right out the window...not a second to spare, and now enough with this charade. Off to golf, hurrohh!! hooray, and the fancy secretary with with frilly lingeries goes w. me too, but she'll have to stow away w. my expensive golf clubs. Wish there was a way to make it more comfortable in there, but there was no wa. Pleasurable business, that is the forte' of Donnay. One day, I will snatch one up off Craigbay I will, I will...! It's on the list, somewhere burried, but one day, I will reach that life''s milestone and know I've trul maad e it, my very own cDonnnay!!! Waht the bleep, why didn't I see the small c...is for made in china, belgium, booped, I mean duped, why?
