Tool Logic Survival Card I Multi-Tools are innovative, credit card sized multi-tools that could save your life one day. Though it manages to stuff seven different tools in a plastic casing the size of a credit card, this Tool Logic multi-tool only weighs 1.3 ounces, allowing you to keep it on your person at all times without worrying about excess weight. The main two components of the Tool Logic Survival Card series are the 2" knife and the fire starter strip along the bottom edge of the multi-tool. The knife is crafted out of tough stainless steel, partially serrated, and skeletonized for a firm grip. Run the knife along the magnesium alloy fire starter to generate a bright shower of sparks hot enough to ignite kindling and dry wood; when used properly, the Survival Card could save your life. Tool Logic Survival Card I includes several other tools that could be a huge help in a survival situation, including a loud signal whistle and a tiny but accurate compass. Available in either Blue or Charcoal finishes, Tool Logic has built the Survival Card to serve as a tiny but effective barrier between you and the wilderness. For a compact, ultra-lightweight multi tool you'll never want to live without, purchase the Tool Logic Survival Card I Firestarter Multi-Tool.

Is this salvia?
cobalt_blueJune 18, 2007
Hi all, is this salvia? If it is can you tell which one? My wife loves it and would like me to plant a few for her but I'm not 100% sure I even know what the stuff is.
I'd greatly appreciate your help.
rich_dufresne(z7 NC)
It sure looks like Perovskia to me. This genus is related to the European Salvias. See the Salvia Research Projects discussion

About Us
I had so hoped to be able to be open this winter but unfortunately I need to close for the rest of the winter season.

We will also again be providing Specialty Picnic Baskets this year for a day's adventure in Door County whether it is to visit the lighthouses, spend the day at the beach or take a trip on the ferry to Washington Island. All baskets are made to order with the freshest ingredients.

Always find the staff helpful and prompt in responding to organizing taxi transfers.
Electric trolleys provided at Morgado were in very poor condition. We had to get two changed during round and others were in poor condition even though they made it round.
Did not feel that course handled our complaint well as no discount was offered for extreme inconvenience experienced. As a result will not play this course again

POSTED: Monday, April 7, 2014 - 11:24am
UPDATED: Friday, April 11, 2014 - 2:49pm
Wells, Texas (KETK) — Two 'Church of Wells' members, Sean Morris (Elder of the church) and Taylor Clifton, were reportedly injured following a physical altercation Saturday afternoon during the Wells homecoming parade, an annual community event.
According to eye witnesses in attendance, church members were street preaching or, 'open-air' preaching during the parade. Witnesses say church members, Morris and Clifton; and others, were preaching "harshly" and allegedly screaming, "You're going to hell" to children, parents and parade-goers.
Witnesses say a father of one of the young children in the parade, and a volunteer firefighter from Cherokee County, approached Morris and Clifton asking them to refrain from speaking that way in front of the young children. Witnesses say, Clifton "shoved" a Bible toward the face of the man who confronted him, that's what prompted the fight.
KETK News spoke exclusively to Morris, Elder of the Church of Wells, about the incident. Morris said, "There was no insulting, no threats, no mockery, and absolutely no focus on children. Our preaching focus was on the adults. We were preaching the gospel. This town is steeped in crime, drugs, and religious hypocrisy and we care about their souls, so we open air preached the gospel message like Jesus did!"
Morris goes on to tells KETK News,"Taylor (Clifton) was pounded in the face without raising a hand in defense, his face bloody and dripping, his heart swelled with forgiveness." Morris said, "I was hit, head butted, and tackled to the ground by a man, and am at present unable to walk."
However, community members of Wells recall the event differently than Morris. One eye-witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, says Morris was not even out there preaching at the beginning. As soon as he came out of the house, one resident tells us, "You would have thought it was Jesus Christ himself walking outside because the other guys became silent and let Morris start yelling." They also say Morris was never hit repeatedly. Once he stepped on the road, the eye-witness says Morris was punched once in the jaw and was laid out. He also told KETK the Wells Volunteer Fire Department began blaring their sirens to drown out the screaming by church members prior to the fight.
According to Morris no charges were filed and no arrests were made following the physical altercation. KETK News has tried numerous times to get in touch with the Wells Police Department and the Cherokee County Sheriff office to confirm the incident.
The controversial 'Church of Wells' and it's members have appeared on KETK News and National news networks over the last 10 months. To read more on the Church of Wells please see KETK Nicole Vowell's report here: (VIDEO) [2] http://www.ketknbc.com/news/26-year-old-disappears-from-home-parents-find-her [3]

As it prepared for the world's largest-ever initial public offering of stock this year, Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. rolled out a shopping platform it billed as a "fast track into China" for foreign brands new to the mainland. Ten months after its launch, the platform, Tmall Global, is failing to live up to this promise, Read More »
French skincare brand L'Occitane opened on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s Tmall shopping site this week, the latest upscale name to join the platform in an attempt to combat unauthorized sales of its products there.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. could be a victim of its own success. For small-business owners that sell on Taobao and Tmall, Alibaba's main e-commerce sites, it is getting harder to compete for attention among 8.5 million active sellers. For buyers, the sites can appear overwhelming. Read More »
What makes a "gray-market" reseller "gray" is that it doesn't have official authorization from brands to sell the products it peddles. That doesn't mean the products are fakes — many gray-market vendors take great care to buy authentic goods. Read More »
Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is rolling out a powerful new incentive to attract luxury brands: removing some listings from its online shopping sites. Read More »
Alibaba's two primary engines of revenue growth are its popular Taobao Marketplace and Tmall e-commerce sites.
Taobao is a sprawling marketplace with more than 8 million vendors, while Tmall hosts storefronts run by larger branded companies like Apple and Gap. Though investors have long wanted for insight into the breakdown in revenue between the two, Alibaba offered no such breakdown in the initial prospectus unveiled Tuesday in the U.S.
Instead it offered only a China commerce item, which includes all that it makes on Tmall and Taobao along with its other smaller e-commerce websites. In the nine months ended Dec. 31, its China commerce revenue was 35.17 billion yuan ($5.66 billion), representing 86.9% of revenue, according to the filing. Read More »
In its latest attempt to boost China sales, Apple Inc. opened an official store on Tmall, a major online marketplace run by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
Tmall, launched in 2008, is a shopping website that hosts more than 70,000 merchants, including global brands like Nike and Gap, Apple's new Tmall storefront has a design similar to its own Chinese online store.
An Alibaba spokeswoman confirmed that the Tmall page is indeed Apple's and that it opened recently, but declined to comment further. An Apple spokeswoman wasn't immediately available for comment. Read More »
With more Chinese shoppers going online, demand for warehouses and parcel delivery services is growing fast, far outpacing the development of the country's logistics infrastructure.
This is putting a lot of pressure on Alibaba Group, China's largest e-commerce company. Transactions hosted by Alibaba's popular shopping websites Taobao and Tmall account for the majority of daily parcel delivery demand in China. Instead of waiting for the logistics sector to solve its own problems, Alibaba is starting to play a more active role. Read More »
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s effort to raise fees at its Taobao Mall online store stirred opposition this week from some small vendors who pledged to disrupt its operations.
The protests–which the company now says have been contained–prompted a pained response online from Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma, who cited his anguish over the issue described the protesters as "people playing the Nazi anthem, hurting the innocent by shouting 'Eliminate all, destroy all.'" Read More »
China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.
The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.
Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.
China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won't be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.
Commentary: China's leaders have tended to concentrate their power and resources on policing areas they see as a threat to the existing political order, caring much less about social or moral order. That could be changing.

8. The spectroscopy method according to claim 1, further including the step of correcting the baseline of the digital sample signal before said pulse detecting step, said correcting step comprising:
determining a new value of said baseline when the difference between the level of a sample and the level of the baseline is less than the detection threshold; and
injecting said new value of the baseline prior to said pulse detecting step.
The invention relates to a spectroscopy method for nuclear pulses obtained at the output from a detector such as a photomultiplier detector having a scintillator crystal.
Such methods are used in numerous technical fields that require nuclear particles and radiation to be detected. This method applies, for example, to performing well logging measurements in a subsurface formation.
To perform such logging measurements, a tool is used which is displaced along a borehole passing through various different subsurface formations.
The tool performs physical measurements of the subsurface formation and transmits them after real-time processing to the surface, to means for performing further processing and to means for making use thereof.
Of the various technical measurements used in well logging, spectroscopy performed by means of a spectroscopic tool is used to determine the characteristics of the various constituent parts of the subsurface formation.
In general, the energy spectrum is obtained either by detecting natural γ rays, or by detecting γ rays emitted by a source and after they have interacted with the electrons of the constituent materials of such formation, or else by detecting γ rays that result from interactions between the nuclei of the constituent materials and neutrons emitted by a source. A detector then serves to detect the radiation and to transform it into an electrical pulse signal whose amplitude is a measure of the γ ray energy.
Further details may be obtained from the manual "Handbook on detection and measurement" by Glenn F. Knoll (1979) in which a nuclear pulse analyzer is described.
Reference may also be made to prior art constituted by European patent application No. 90 401 174.9 published under the number EP 0 396 464, in which a spectroscopic method is described as applied to a well logging tool for performing nuclear logging.
The method described in that prior art comprises filtering the analog signal constituted by electrical pulses supplied by the radiation detector in order to perform Gaussian type shaping. The method then comprises performing analog-to-digital conversion of the signal, followed by pulse detection by comparing the amplitudes of samples with a predetermined threshold.
That method also makes it possible, when so required, to change the baseline of the signal when the amplitude of a sample lies beneath said line.
Unlike conventional methods, and in particular unlike the teaching provided by said European patent application EP 0 396 464, in which pulses are detected from digital samples, the method of the present invention comprises performing detection after the signal has been sampled and integrated then converted to digital samples, in such a manner as to concentrate all of the energy of the signal on a limited number of samples.
Compared with conventional techniques, this characteristic presents the advantage of producing pulses that are shorter and consequently of making higher count rates possible.
In practice, and preferably, the method comprises the step of performing filtering so as to compress all of the energy of one pulse over the duration of two samples. Prior to analog-to-digital conversion of the signal, the method comprises the step of sampling the analog signal from the detector with integration over a duration equal to the sampling period.
More particularly, the present invention provides a spectroscopy method for analyzing high count rate pulses in an electrical signal s(t) emitted by a radiation detector, the pulses representing nuclear radiation, the amplitudes of the pulses being representative of the energy of particles in the radiation, the method comprising the steps of:
analogically sampling the signal s(t) with a sampling period (T) and integrating said sampled signal over a duration equal to said sampling period (T);
converting said integrated sampled signal to digital samples;
detecting pulses from said digital signal samples; and
determining an energy spectrum from said detected pulses.
The invention will be better understood from the following description given by way of non-limiting example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the various steps and substeps of the method of the invention in the form of a sequence of functional blocks;
FIG. 2 shows one example of the signal s(t) as detected and processed in accordance with the method of the invention; and
FIG. 3 shows a second example of the detected and processed signal s(t).
The method described below is applicable to any field in which electrical pulses obtained by detecting radiation are subjected to analysis, e.g. pulses detected using a crystal scintillator using a crystal of NaI or of GSO, in association with a photomultiplier.
The invention is particularly applicable to well logging measurements performed in a borehole by means of a logging tool lowered down the borehole. Reference may be made, for example, to the description of such a tool given in European patent application No. 90 401 174.9 published under the number EP 0 396 464.
During a first processing stage (block 10 in FIG. 1), the electrical signal s(t) emitted by the detector in the form of analog pulses corresponding to the nature of the detected radiation is digitized and optionally shaped so that the energy of each pulse lies within a time slot of fixed duration.
During a second processing stage (block 20 in FIG. 1), pulses are detected on the basis of the digital signal, optionally as shaped. The end of this stage 20 provides an energy spectrum of the detected pulses.
In one embodiment, the first stage 10 comprises the processing steps of sampling the analog signal s(t) and integrating the signal over a selected sampling period T by means of any conventional and commercially available analog integrating sampler circuit.
Reference may be made at this stage to FIGS. 2 and 3 which show examples of different signals s(t). The signal obtained after the sampling and integration operation Is a signal s(n). The sampling and integration operation takes place continuously on the signal s(t) provided by the detector.
Each sample s(n) delivered by the sampler and integrator is the integral of the input signal s(t) representative of the data over a sampling interval T=tn -tn-1. ##EQU1##
A single pulse arriving at instant ta and having amplitude A can be expressed as an exponential function of time:
s(t)=0 for t<ta
s(t)=(A/τ)e.sup.(ta- t)/τ everywhere else.
For such a signal, assuming that t0 <ta <t1, the sampling and integrating step provides the following sequence of samples: ##EQU2##
The analog signals are converted by an analog-to-digital converter (step 2 in FIG. 1) and are then filtered by a digital filter (step 4 in FIG. 1) in a manner which is explained below:
The filter serves to eliminate the phenomenon of exponential evanescence. The filter has a finite impulse response for a duration of one sampling period:
α=e-T/τ /(1-e-T/τ)
In this embodiment, the signal corresponding to a received pulse is compressed to two successive samples: ##EQU3##
The method also comprises performing a servo-controlled operation (steps 3 and 5) enabling the baseline B of the signal to be adjusted prior to filtering. The baseline B corresponds to the DC level of the signal. This level is adjusted to a predetermined value and it is readjusted by a feed back loop.
The detection stage 20 serves to provide a constant level corresponding to the baseline in the absence of pulses. Updating step 5 consists in memorizing said level in a memory to enable correction to be performed at the desired instants before filtering.
An impulse detection step 11 comprises, in this first embodiment, fixing a detection threshold Tr, and then taking account of the signal samples at each sampling instant in groups, and in this particular example in groups of four.
Thus, at sampling instant tn, the following samples are selected: s'(n), s'(n+1), s'(n+2), and s'(n+3).
Detection consists in verifying whether the first and last sample in the group are less than or equal to the fixed threshold, which can be written as follows:
and whether at least the first intermediate sample s'(n+1) is greater than said threshold, i.e.:
If these two conditions are satisfied, then a pulse is detected and its amplitude is given by:
This step is represented by block 13 in FIG. 1.
Otherwise, i.e. when the above two conditions are not satisfied, that means either that there is no signal, or else that the pulse is not at the current position (there may have been a pulse at some instant other than the instants tn+1 and tn+2), or else that a plurality of pulses are overlapping or piled up. After checking these conditions, n is incremented by one so as to move on to the following group of samples n+1, n+2, n+3, and n+4, and so on until there is no more signal.
Where appropriate, it is possible, as mentioned at step 12 of FIG. 1, to determine pulses even where a pile-up phenomenon has occurred.
Reference may be made to FIG. 3 which illustrates this phenomenon.
To perform a measurement in spite of pile-up as shown by the signal s(t) in FIG. 3, one solution consists in selecting samples in groups of five and in incrementing by one sample after each measurement, i.e. taking five samples s'(n) , . . . , s'(n+4).
The method then consists in checking the following conditions for the group of samples:
for the first and last samples:
s'(n)≦Tr and
and for the other samples:
s'(n+2)>Tr and
If these conditions are satisfied, then a pile up has been detected and its amplitude A is equal to:
This step 12 thus makes it possible when two or more pulses arrive during two successive sampling periods (as shown in FIG. 3) to detect this phenomenon and to measure it.
Thus, the sum of the three samples which represents the sum of the pulses is used for quantifying the pile up, thereby making it possible, if so desired, to correct the measurements obtained at step 13.
After implementing step 13 and possibly also step 12, one or more amplitude histogram(s) are made (step 14). The energy spectrum is thus determined after possibly correcting the histograms for counting losses (step 15).
The method of the invention is implemented using analog and digital circuits as are commercially available or using special integrated circuits.
An analog circuit is used for performing sampling and integrating step 1 and for performing analog-to-digital conversion step 2.
Digital circuits are used for performing the filtering step and the pulse detection step.
Digital signal processors may be used, for example, for performing steps 12, 14, and 15.

red beatle
What do you use to keep away the red beatle that eats the leaves. Right now i'am useing fungus gnat killer dust but its no longer available in Quebec. Thank you Anna
No...No. Please forget about chemicals. They maybe effective but the side effects can be longterm and BAD.
1) Plant Marigolds around your Lilies. I have Marigolds all over my garden. Marigolds has been around for a very long time. FOR a reason,they are a very good companion plant . The are natural insecticides
2) Plant a few Chives/Garlic near your Lilies too
3) Be patient. Companion planting works well but it takes longer time than chemicals.
You can also start Marigolds from seed which I always do. I save seeds every fall for next season. I save $. Plant Marigolds near your tomatoes too and some Basil. You'll be surprise.
Hi Anna,
This is a re-post of a reply of mine to an earlier "Asiatic Lily" post.
"You have Lily Beetles. Most sites recommend a heavy determined "squishing campaign". If your lilies are defoliated every year they will eventually die out - since the bulb will not get nourishment from the leaves photosynthesis. Google "lily Beetle" (with the quotes so it searches as a phrase). "
Here's one link, but there are many more.

First Time Here...
Hello everyone! This is my first time here at this forum.
I want to learn to do stained glass. I was planning to take a beginner class but it is expensive and healthwise, it's not easy to keep up the class schedule.
I was wondering if you could share how you come about to learn "how to" do stained glass? I mean did you take a class, learn from others, self-taught, or used video/DVD classes?
So far, most of my crafty projects, I learned by myself from books, internet, etc. Do you think learning stained glass can be accomplished the same way?
Do you have a beginners book that helped you? If you do, would you mind sharing the title & author?
Thanks in advance and I appreciate any feedback you have.
Welcome Natalie! I can't help you with stained glass per se. I've been learning to do mosaics for about 2 years now. My best help has been at this and other forums.
I would go to your local library and check out every book you can find and that would be a great place to start!
Good luck!
Welcome to the forum! I would suggest a visit to the local stained glass store or a community coarse, as it can cost at least $400 in equitment to get started with it and glass can usually run $10/sqft from there on, so taking a course so you learn the best ways to get the best results, and if it is something you wanna spend that kind of investment on(usually the courses provide the tools) or ask someone to give you a private lessons, as hands on is always so much better than just learning out of a book...I think that people who know how to sew, have an advantage over us who don't, as they already know how to cut out a pattern!!!lol! But there is so much to learn about the way glass breaks, that it is best to start with a course is my 2 cents worth! I tried the cheap way and it cost me a lot of frustration!!! It's better to start off with the right tools and instruction!!! It is a very wonderful hobby, and I think it has totally changed my life for the better!!! Even if I can't leave a stained glass store with less than $100 worth of glass per visit!!lol! Here is a pic of my glass obsession...far front right: lightbox, grinder, glass saw, and a couple grand worth of glass....(spoken like Golem: ahhh, my pretties...!!!)lol!
Here is a link that might be useful:
WELCOME! Glad you found us!
I agree with calamity-she gave great advice. I started 30 years ago with a class and it changed my life too! Then I let all I learned "sit" for about 20 years while my family was young. After they "flew the coop" I took a refresher class and again, it energized me. Because I had so much scrap stained glass, I discovered mosaics, and due to having learned the basics through classes, I could then use "how to books" & the "internet" which has a wealth of info.
Classes/courses are part of the investment and well worth the cost and effort. I am still learning, every new class I take...I don't regret for one minute the time and money spent there.
I got started like this in 2000. I found how-to guides / beginner's guides on the internet--8 years later there are many more online. Here's an example: Getting Started
Then I found a local stained glass supply store. There isn't one where I live now but Hobby Lobby has a decent selection.
I bought the bare minimum as follows:
- Glass tools: Pistol-grip glass cutter, Grozier pliers, Running pliers -- approx $50
- Copper foil stuff (instead of lead came): a roll of adhesive copper foil 3/16" to 1/4", an application tool, soldering iron & stand, solder, flux, solder patina, cheap small brushes -- approx $60
- Grinder: I used a Dremel tool to start out, because I already owned one. I just got a low-end grinder from Hobby Lobby for $80 with their 40%-off coupon.
- Sheets of glass... basic colors start at $5 retail for 1/8" thick 1'x1'
So that's about $200 just to get started on your own, and that works for some people. However if you can find a class that provides tools and supplies, you might get off to a better and less expensive start.
It is possible to get started on your own if that is hwat you choose to do...but I would agree with the advice to take a class. I tried on my own first and was very frustrated and gave up for many years. Then a friend was scheduled to take a class and because of travel for his job he couldn't attend it. He offered to let me take it in his place. I learned the basics and have loved every minute of it since. Stained Glass in an expensive hobby to get started in. I would hate to see you invest in the equipment and then get frustrated with it and decide to toss it aside. It is my way to release stress and frustration from the rest of life rather than being the source of it. I wish you the best of luck with glass. I think it is the best art around....and I think I have tried everything else that there is out there.
Thanks all for your feedbacks.
Actually, yes, I do know how to sew and learned it by myself too. I mean, how hard can it be just to follow instructions in a pattern? This is where I learned patience can take you further than you can imagine. And... it's also a must if you want to complete a project. But, you all already knew that, right?
As you all advised, taking a basic class helps to grasp the basic technique. I have checked the closest colleges and don't see the class listed in the Spring semester. I will keep looking then.
As for the cost, most of my hobbies, I've spent that much anyway. I mean, to sew, you have to spend just about that much on a sewing machine & fabrics. Hey, I even spent that much on just crochet... ha-ha... please don't ask me on what.
I must admit, I have more hobbies than have time to do them but still want to make time learning stained glass. I had a friend that knew it well and she created simple yet, beautiful things. She had moved years ago to her husband's hometown. Well... in the mean time, I have ordered some beginner books to read on it.
Again, thanks all.

Diabetes by the Numbers (continued)
The A1C test
What happens to white delivery trucks on snowy, slushy roads in the winter? Yep. They get dirty. Something pretty similar happens to red blood cells in your body when your sugar is high. Sugar molecules stick to their skins the same way slush and mud and ice stick to the side of the delivery trucks. (As a complete side note: a red blood cell is a delivery truck too; it's sole function is the delivery of gases to various parts of the body.)
The A1C test measures the amount of mud and slush on the red blood cell and reports it as a percentage. This percentage, in turn, gives us a picture of the blood sugar environment the cell lived in during its dLife. As red blood cells live for three months on average, an A1C gives us a window into your average blood sugar for the last three months.

The fingerstick test
Again, the various professional organizations that guide our doctors have slightly different settings for our fingerstick stop lights; kind of the way speed limits might vary from town to town and state to state. But in general, you need to drive more slowly in the city than in the open country; and in the same vein, your blood sugar should be lower in the morning or before meals (a.k.a. fasting) than it is after meals (a.k.a random).

Massolino Vigna Rionda Riserva Barolo 2007
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
The Massolino Rionda Riserva displays bright garnet, red color and from very intensely floral in the early years to characteristic "goudron" as it ages, through a multitude of scents which are always particularly seductive. Probably the most potent of all the Massolino wines, it perfectly summarizes the essential characteristics of Barolo wine, such as grand structure, excellent alcohol concentration and tannins capable of guaranteeing very long ageing. It opens up gradually and reaches its maximum and most important expression after ageing for a few years; this leads to its release for sale in the sixth year after harvesting with an increasingly consistent part of the wine being held back for release in the tenth year!
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is a gorgeous wine that presents a stunning perspective on the Nebbiolo grape. Its magic is on full display. Ethereal and elegant, the bouquet presents a never-ending succession of wild fruit, underbrush, cola, licorice, freshly chopped mint, dried ginger, balsam overtones and exotic spice. Think of the grape's most elegant characteristics and you get them all here. In the mouth, the wine feels fleshy and generous with thick layers of fruit that are amply supported by the firm but fine tannins. Its aging future looks bright."
James Suckling - "Aromas of dark fruits with hints of tangerines and flowers. Full body with soft, round tannins and a bright finish. Tangy and delicious. This is round and wonderfully rich with lovely fruit and a flavorful finish. Fabulously textured."
Wine Spectator - "Cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors mark this sleek, elegant red. Balsamic and tobacco notes add interest as this firms up on the dusty finish. Fresh and long."
International Wine Cellar - "Good bright red. Expressive smoky aromas of red berries, plum, menthol and mocha, with a hint of medicinal austerity. Fat, sweet and liqueur-like, but with harmonious acidity giving the middle palate a surprisingly light touch. Still, this is rather subdued today and does not show the lift or stuffing of the 2009 Parussi that preceded it in my tasting. Finishes with dusty tannins and a faint tart edge."

About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

TravelPod Member ReviewsBaleka Resort Hotel & Spa Legian
The staff here were very friendly, almost too much.
When we first checked in they had none of the standard rooms in twin share so we were upgraded however as the days went on we found that the sliding door was stiff and had fallen off its runners.
We didnt complain about it as we were hardly in the room anyway. It was a staff member who was giving us fresh towels that noticed the struggle and addressed it with the maintenance team. They came up and tried fixing it whithout distrubing us too much to then change our room for one two doors down. This was slightly annoying as we only had one more night there and weren't in the mood to pack everything up.
We then had issues with the keys and safe when we first moved into this replacement room.
As I said its not a major issue but the only complaint I could make.

Looking at Chef Kuda, the restaurant owner, it was clear to see that he was lobbing back the full racks on a daily basis...

Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including the nightmare she survived and her resulting trust issues. But in order to expose a smuggling ring--and continue avenging his own tragic past--the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to make Arizona a decoy. Yet nothing has equipped him for her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.
Arizona wants to reclaim her life, which means acting as bait to lure the enemy into a trap. Sure it's dangerous, especially with a partner as distractingly appealing as Spencer. But as their plan--and their chemistry--shifts into high gear, Arizona may discover there's an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero....

Bestseller Foster seamlessly fits the private mercenaries from the first three Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor books into this volume while giving leading roles to bounty hunter Spencer Lark and rescued sex slave Arizona Storm, who played supporting roles in Savor the Danger. A vengeful survivor, Arizona makes it her life mission to stop human traffickers, even using herself as bait. Widowed Spencer works his way through grief as he tries to shield Arizona. But how can he protect a 21-year-old who thinks the best birthday present ever is a lethal knife she can tuck in the back of her jeans? Foster has an amazing ability to capture a man's emotions and lust with sizzling sex scenes and meld it with a strong woman's point of view. She draws a realistic picture of an evil world of human traffickers and makes the larger-than-life good guys believable, too. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Associates. (Apr.)

Are fish always hungry?
christy2828(8a)September 3, 2007
This sounds like a stupid question, but my fish always seem hungry! I feed them once a day, the amount recommended on the container. They eat it in about 2 - 3 minutes. Yet, everytime I walk by the tank they swim up and seem to be begging for food. Does this mean that I am not feeding them enough, or frequently enough? Or is this just what fish do? Thanks :) Christy

That's what fish do . They quickly learn where the food comes from. lol You can feed 2-3 times a day in small amounts if you like but don't overfeed. You'll note that they lose interest almost as quickly as they feed.
As long as they're eating it all it's not too much. gary

WANTED: 2012 Olympia Fall Trade
bejoy2(8)August 6, 2012
Re-announcing the 2012 Olympia Plant Trade as a "Wanted" posting to see if that moves it up to the top of the queue. It's a complete mystery how a brand-new posting can be buried under other postings up to 4 months old. My complaint to the GardenWeb administrators about the seemingly random ranking of postings got a curt reply without any answers as to what it takes to move the posting to the top of the queue. If anyone knows the secret to moving this post to the top of the queue, please share, because the GardenWeb staff isn't telling.
