Betz Family Winery La Cote Rousse 2006
Syrah/Shiraz from Yakima Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
While made from a single variety, Syrah La Côte Rousse represents the "yang" to La Serenne's "yin". It's made from four different clones from two different vineyards, Ciel du Cheval and Scott Williams. This mix of sites and clones endows it with a layered complexity and extraordinary dimension. Yet it's the overall appellation that ultimately drives this wine: exclusively from Red Mountain fruit, La Côte Rousse reflects the power and muscle of this warmer site. Black red in the glass, and deeply scented with black fruits, spice, black pepper, minerals and smoked meats, it presents a full spectrum of aromatic and palate impressions. While more powerful, this is the most integrated vintage yet of La Côte Rousse, with a juicy sweetness and suppleness.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Syrah La Cote Rousse is 100% varietal sourced from two vineyards, Purple/black in color, it offers up am array of aromas including bacon, sausage, spice box, smoke, pepper, and tar reminiscent of a Guigal La Landonne. Dense, layered, and opulent, this powerful effort should hit its peak by 2015 and provide pleasure through 2030. " -
Wine Enthusiast - "A mix of four clones, it is deeper, more concentrated, and less accessible than the La Serenne bottling, with bass notes of rock, iron and clay. Dusty, tannic, herbal, earthy and slightly metallic, this is a unique expression of Washington Syrah, with black and purple fruits, Asian spices, coffee liqueur, licorice and coal tar, green tea and herbs." -
Wine Spectator - "Smooth, round and focused, with a distinctive green olive note adding depth to the blackberry, black cherry and licorice flavors, lingering against slightly prickly tannins on the long, vivid finish. Best from 2011 through 2016. 575 cases made." - View All

View all Betz Family Winery Wines About Yakima Valley
View a map of Yakima Valley wineriesWashington's first appellation, Yakima Valley has over one third of the state's vineyards. The rolling foothills of the Cascades give the vines a good sun angle, so grapes are well-ripened come harvest time. Merlot dominates the plantings here, creating elegant wines with complex fruit, herbs & structure. Syrah continues to grow in popularity, creating blanced wines with spicy black fruit.
A few smaller, but notable appellations that lie within or just outside of Yakima Valley include:
Rattlesnake Hills, which gained AVA status in 2006, lies in the north with 17 wineries.
Horse Heaven Hills, another recent sub-appellation hugs the south end of Yakima and is known for its outstanding vineyard sites that create incredible and collectible red wines.
Red Mountain, known for its intense and delicious reds, is located on the eastern side of Yakima Valley.About Washington
Related Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Most 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.

Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold

The soul behind the Lumia 920 is Microsoft's Windows Phone 8, a variation of the overly-hyped Windows 8 multi-platform operating system, which in the weeks and months ahead will power upcoming gadgets - PCs, tablet computers and smartphones - to the delight of global consumers.
For the RAZR HD, Google is the brainchild. In fact, not an opposition will rise is we should suppose that everything in Motorola Mobility - its products, its engineering and even its corporate culture - is all about the internet giant, which recently acquired what was regarded in the tech world as the inventor of mobile phones.
Nokia can also claim that it has the full backing of Microsoft and why not. In 2011, the Finnish phone maker ditched its Symbian OS in a desperate attempt to arrest its market slide and possibly its demise.
The result is the full-range of the firm's high-end gadgets will be on WP8. Beginning Q4 2012, the world will see if the Windows shift is a worthy gamble on Nokia's part and the best initial gauge is how the Lumia 920 will fare on the market with a host of able competitions out there.
Narrowing down the contest, it should be interesting how the new Windows phone will unfold against one of the handsets that analysts said were truly the products of Google's entry into the hardware business.
Telstra, Australia's biggest telco, is the exclusive local distributor of the new Motorola Droid, which it is touting in releases as representative of "the best Google experiences," via of course the latest Android mobile platform.
And if Nokia will package the Lumia 920 as the finest there is in mobile Windows environment, then consumers can expect a battle royale from the two industry titans, which are both unwilling to cede an inch of a ground in their long-drawn tussles.
Regular tech watchers might as well agree that spec wise, the two devices are virtually at par with each other - multi-core processors that could reach clock speeds within and above the 1.5GHz mark, maximum internal storage of 16GB with provisions for up to 32GB of expansion and 1GB of DDR2 RAM.
Yet on the outside appearance, the Lumia 920 and the Droid RAZR HD are worlds apart. Nokia has opted for the trendy fashion while Motorola took a plunge on the edgy passion.
The Lumia's colourful unibody casing is of polycarbonate make and Nokia is proud that the material is strong enough (and even sexy in the eyes) to resist not only scratches but other friction that can be labelled as normal usage patterns.
On the other hand, Motorola went a bit far by dressing the RAZR HD on Corning Gorilla Glass at the front and a Kevlar protection at the back, making the phone, which will be offered in black and white, robust enough to absorb the onset of wear and tear, and even neglect and abuse.
The shells on the two phones define their crowd. Experimental for Nokia and subdued for Motorola yet both will enjoy the best communication tools beyond the Apple fanbase.
For Nokia, all the Microsoft goodies are packed in the Lumia 920 and the same goes with Motorola - users familiar with the Google online services will be happy to know that RAZR HD is a gateway to access them.
Early reviewers of the Lumia 920 are in agreement that Nokia's PureView camera technology is the biggest come on of the gadget while RAZR HD, Motorola said, is pure entertainment on-the-go with its hardware capability of delivering both audio and visual amusement, all with superior fidelity.
Connectivity and sharing are non-issue on the new Windows and Android as both were engineered to work on LTE network while facilitate file swapping with ease.
Bottom line is, the Lumia 920-RAZR HD spar is the extension of the ecosystem contest that in the surface functions as the surrogate warfare between Google and Microsoft. In this particular case, the internet giant has the advantage since Microsoft is the new kid on the block in mobile computing.
In the end, consumers' reaction to the new mobile phones, meaning how much dollar they will deliver respectively in the months and quarters ahead, is the ultimate gauge of which is the more effective and profitable over the long-haul.

Missing woman with Alzheimer's found unharmed
LEBANON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Authorities in Hunterdon County say a missing woman with Alzheimer's disease has been found unharmed.
County Prosecutor Anthony Kearns III says 71-year-old Nancy Hogan was found shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday, about a half-mile away from her home on Kubin Court in Lebanon Township. She was hospitalized in stable condition, but further details were not disclosed.
Kearns said Hogan had walked away from her home around 8 p.m. Friday. She's described as being in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's and unable to communicate.
Several agencies were involved in the extensive search, and the county utilized its reverse 911 system to notify residents about Hogan's disappearance and seek their help in locating her.

It's not often that Adele is overly happy during the many, many photo shoots she has to endure for me.
I'm not sure what happened on this particular morning, but she was happy.
Must be because this new cardigan is so cool.
She must be ecstatic because unlike the many hand-me-down and op shop clothes in her wardrobe, this is new and was made just for her.
No details to ravel, this cardigan began before I Ravelled. It was made with charcoal wool from Spotlight that was left over from James' baby blanket from about 4 years ago. Hooray for scrap bustin'! The pattern is this Sirdar one and I've made it three times and it always looks nice.

1868 – St Mary's Church of Ireland, Crumlin Rd., Belfast
St Mary's Church of Ireland was completed in 1868 to a design by the London architect William Slater. Estimated cost £2,400 but eventual cost £6,500. The church was badly damaged by the Luftwaffe in 1941, and needed substantial repairs after the war end. There is a fine interior with a lantern tower at the crossing.

Vivid yellow. Vibrant, lees-accented scents of tangerine, quince, honeysuckle and candied ginger. Concentrated but also bright and nervy on the palate, offering fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavors lifted by chalky minerality. Finishes dry and long, with lingering notes of anise and citrus zest.

See more by this authorASSESSING THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN
Throughout most of the twentieth century, the U.S. armed forces were seen as an overmuscled giant, able to win wars through brute strength but often lacking in daring and cleverness. This basic strategy worked during the two world wars, making the United States relatively tough to challenge. But it failed in Vietnam, produced mediocre results in Korea, and worked in the Persian Gulf War largely because the terrain was ideally suited to American strengths.
What a difference a new century makes. Operation Enduring Freedom has been, for the most part, a masterpiece of military creativity and finesse. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) head General Tommy Franks, and Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet devised a plan for using limited but well-chosen types of American power in conjunction with the Afghan opposition to defeat the Taliban and al Qaeda. Secretary of State Colin Powell helped persuade Pakistan to sever its ties with the Taliban, work with Afghanistan's Northern Alliance, provide the bases and overflight rights needed by U.S. forces, and contribute to the general war effort. Besides pushing his national security team to develop an innovative and decisive war-fighting strategy, President George W. Bush rallied the American people behind the war effort and established a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, making it far easier for the United States to work militarily in Central Asia. The U.S. effort to overthrow the Taliban deprived al Qaeda of its sanctuary within Afghanistan and left its surviving leaders running for their lives.1

Staff Correspondent
Former Minister Shivaram releases to the press Jairam Ramesh's letter to Yeddyurappa
Foundation stone for the project was laid on
May 26, 2009
Jairam Ramesh says State should follow the process as per law for any project
Hassan: Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh informed the delegation of Congress leaders of Hassan district who called on him in Delhi recently that the Union Government had not given clearance for the Gundia project. He also gave them the copy of the letter that was addressed to Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.
Former Congress Minister B. Shivaram released the letter to the press here on Monday. The letter dated June 20, 2009 said that "the Gundia hydel project of Karnataka Power Corporation in Hassan district is going to drown almost 1,900 acres of thick forest in the already – endangered Western Ghats along with all its fauna. This is something that both Karnataka and our country can ill-afford".
Mr. Jairam Ramesh has said in the letter that the foundation stone for the project was laid on May 26, 2009, even though the environmental and forest clearance from the Government of India has not been obtained. "I am sure you will agree with me that it would not be proper to have the foundation stone laid in anticipation of obtaining environmental and forest clearance," he added.
Advising the State Government to go through the process as laid down by law when laying foundation stone for projects, Mr. Jairam Ramesh said that power generation should not happen at the cost of ecological security.
Mr. Shivaram said that the Expert Appraisal Committee appointed by Union Government had also said that the project should not be taken up. Mr. Shivaram urged the Deputy Commissioner not to start work on land acquisition for Gundia project till the Union Government gave clearance for the project.
H.A. Kishore Kumar, president of the Malnad Janapara Horata Samiti, said that Parvathi Keshavachar, Deputy Secretary to Government, Energy Department, Government of Karnataka through a letter had stated that the Managing Director of Karnataka Power Corporation had informed the Government that the Union Ministry for Environment and Forest had given clearance for the Gundia project on July 23, 2009. Mr. Kumar added that the letter sent by Mr. Jairam Ramesh clearly showed that the Managing Director of Karnataka Power Corporation had misled the Government on the issue.
S M Anand, MLC, and Malnad Janapara Horata Samithi member Hemmige Mohan were also present.

text: Designed to fit the square headlight Vespa S 50 and 125, this screen from Givi attempts to liven up commuter functionality with fun graphics. A somewhat camp exaggeration of what will end up on the screen anyway, the graphics reappropriate masculine biker imagery in a way that's just right for a scooter. While we don't really understand the need to fit a 60cm screen to a machine that tops out at 75mph, we would like to see Givi liven up the rest of its staid but practical product line in a similar way.

Serbia's Minister of Regional Development and Local Self-Government Verica Kalanovic met with representatives of the Chinese construction company "Shandong Hi-speed Group", which has shown interest in doing business in Serbia, especially in the construction of regional motorways Pojate-Preljina and Novi Sad-Sabac-Loznica. The Minister presented the Chinese delegation with priorities in building regional infrastructure, as well as the business environment in Serbia, and especially highlighted the good cooperation between the two countries. During the meeting it was agreed that the company in the coming days should send a formal letter of intent to cooperate on this project.
"Shandong Hi-speed Group" is one of the leading construction companies in the construction of motorways, railways, airports and ports. It operates in more than 30 countries around the world, and one of their biggest and best-known projects is the 43 km bridge length in the Chinese region of Shan Dong, which was built in just four years. The capital of the company is estimated at more than $30 billion, according to a statement by the Ministry of Regional Development and Local Self-Government.

"It has recently become possible to control the mechanical motion of on-chip nanostructures at the quantum level. This opens the door to a completely new area of research on 'hybrid quantum systems', from which new quantum-based technologies might see the light of day," said team leader Andrew Cleland. "Being able to link electronic quantum systems to optical communication channels is of paramount importance because today's leading quantum information processing technology is based on electronic (superconducting) quantum bits. However, to communicate quantum information over any distance, optical channels must be employed."
The new device could ultimately serve as a critical element in such a quantum communications network, he added.
The researchers made their transducer using lithographic processing on standard silicon wafers. This technique can easily be scaled up to produce the devices in large quantities. All of the functional elements, including piezo-electromechanical and photonic circuits, are integrated into a thin (330 nm) suspended beam made of the piezoelectric material aluminium nitride.
"We can think of the device as a piezoelectric photonic crystal in which an engineered phonon mode – a vibration of the crystal lattice – boosts the interaction between electrical microwave and optical photons," explained Cleland. "It is in fact an electro-optical modulator for the quantum regime."
The team exploited the piezoelectric effect in aluminium nitride to convert an ingoing electrical microwave signal to a GHz frequency vibration of the suspended nanobeam. As well as acting as a piezo-element, this beam is patterned into both a photonic and phonic crystal. In this so-called optomechanical crystal (a concept first put forward by Oskar Painter's group at Caltech), light and matter strongly interact. The structure thus efficiently converts mechanical vibrations onto modulation sidebands of optical probe light, says Cleland, and the incoming light is routed from a fibre-optic coupler to an on-chip optical waveguide that couples to the nanobeam.
Compatible with superconducting circuits and standard fibre optics
"The main advantage of our approach is that the device layout, all fabrication steps and the operating frequency range (of between 4 and 6 GHz) are compatible with the superconducting quantum circuits actively being developed in several other labs around the world – for example, at UCSB, Yale, IBM and ETH Zurich, among others," Cleland told nanotechweb.org. "Our transducer will integrate well with these superconducting circuits."
The device is also optimized for operating in the all-important 1550 nm telecommunications optical wavelength and is therefore compatible with standard fibre optics technology, he adds. "In fact, our actual device chip is directly connected to optical fibres and we did our experiments using ordinary telecoms equipment."
The proof-of-principle device proves that making a nanomechanical transducer is indeed feasible, he says. "We will now be looking at improving the device design as well the coupling between the electrical, mechanical and optical modes in it. At the same time, we need to work on integrating these next-generation transducers into real-world superconducting quantum circuits."
The current research is detailed in Nature Physics doi:10.1038/nphys2748.
