Bodegas y Vinedos Pintia 2007
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
After the first four grape harvests from 1997 to 2000, we realized that we would have to preserve, extract and protect everything that would convert Pintia into an elegant wine within the austerity of the region - the delicate tannins embraced by the aroma of fresh fruit whilst avoiding overripeness and liquorice aromas. This is Pintia's defining philosophy.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Pintia was sourced from 50% ungrafted Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) vines and aged in 100% new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it shows off a compelling bouquet of wood smoke, scorched earth, mineral, incense, blackberry, and licorice. Already complex on the palate, this full-bodied offering is dense, succulent, and structured. Give this lengthy Toro another 5-7 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2032, if not longer. 93+ " -
International Wine Cellar - "Bright violet. Cassis, blueberry, cherry-cola and coffee on the expressive nose. Tightly wound and firmly built but in no way hard, with terrific lift to the dark berry preserve, chocolate, mineral and vanilla flavors. Really stains the palate on the finish and shows a lot of sexy fruit right now, but give this at least five years in the cellar."
Bodegas y Vinedos Pintia Winery
Vega Sicilia set themselves an ambitious challenge when they started purchasing vineyards in Toro in 1997. This region was well-known for wines of great character, but little finesse. For 4 years they perfected their style in secret, before finally releasing the 2001 under the name Pintia. Toro is located further along the Duero river from Vega Sicilia, in hotter, wilder territory as one approaches the Portuguese border (after which, the Duero becomes the famous Douro of Port fame). Altitudes are slightly lower than in the Ribera del Duero, making for very hot days, but 500-700m altitudes stil mean big day-night temperature changes, so acidity and fruit are preserved.
The grape here is 100% Tinta de Toro, a thick-skinned local clone of Tempranillo. The Vega team carefully vinify the wine to extract only the finest tannins and maintain aromatic purity, and age one year in the highest quality French and American oak barrels. Pintia displays the style and class (elegance, even !) of a Vega Sicilia Group wine, but with the extra spicy, forceful presence of a Toro. Early critical reaction has been ecstatic, and pricing remains eminently reasonable for a wine of this quality. View all Bodegas y Vinedos Pintia Wines
About Ribera del Duero
(rib-EHR-ah del dwehr-oh) Only a DO since 1982, Ribera del Duero has been making wine for centuries, and some of the bodegas there have been family run for generations. Of course, the most famous wine of the region is Vega Sicilia, possibly the most expensive and sought-after wine in Spain.
Notable Facts
The wines of Ribera del Duero are mainly red – white wines here are not exported or revered. The reds come primarily from a variation of Tempranillo, called Tinto Fino or Tinto del Pais in this region. Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon are also used, but not so often. The best wines of the area are refreshing yet sturdy and complex, with an ability to age and mature gracefully.About Spain
The third largest country in production, Spain ranks first in land under vine. Diversity and innovation are the key factors bringing Spain back into the world wine market.The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

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 & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Customer Reviews
Portable Charger
Wednesday, February 04, 2015I have owned this product for 7 years plus,it has never let me down yet. Wall charger has never been a issue works great with unit and keeps on ticking. It's a great charging source and I don't regret purchasing it.
I like the versitility of this unit and power it maintains for periods of months without having to recharge
It is a little heavy but this comes with a Industrial Power Source.
Would have been great but ...
Sunday, November 03, 2013Product itself isn't bad and is useful but the wall charger is crap. Other vendors allow you to use a standard extension cord for wall charging instead of this dinky (and limiting ... and expensive if you need to replace it) wall charger that is included. It is wasn't for that the product would be a 4-5 star product. As it stands I am voting with my wallet and never buying another one of these things. Why should I suffer with a crappy design flaw?
more useful than you would think especially with tractors and running small 12v air compressors for tires and such
get rid of the stupid wall charger and allow us to use an extension cable like other simular products do.

I've soured on this team recently. I thing they'll be closer to 82 than 92 wins. Hope I'm wrong, but I['ve got a bad feeling that 0-1 i game back may be as close to first in the
Central as we get all season (hope they go out and prove me wrong Wed & Thur
Not sure when we want to lock this up, but right now there have been 111 real predictions and a bunch of cop outs without an actual number. Average is 87.66 wins.

Cueto looked great today. If the pitching holds up like that odds are the Reds are going to win more than lose, more than likely quite a bit more.

villain612 (04-01-2014)
Like last year, I think the Reds will have a lot of trouble beating good teams who have good pitching.
Without Choo, the Reds are very easy to pitch to. As the lineup is now configured, you throw tough righties. You pitch carefully to Votto and Bruce and bring lefties in against them close and late.
The rest of the Reds hitters won't hurt you that often against tough righties.
I'm not saying they have a terrible offense, it's not that bad, but you can neutralize many of these guys with good RHP and it then comes down to two hitters, which is usually not enough.
The Reds pitching is good - but against good teams with good pitching the ability to scratch for runs becomes critical.
Hamilton will help in some games, but generally just get past Bruce in the lineup, and you can breathe easy with solid RHP. (Pena is a switch hitter, sure, but I'm not counting on him for very much.)
Against weak teams the Reds probably have too much pitching and they will continue to do pretty well, especially when the pitching staff is healthier.

Sure, I wish the offense would've played better yesterday but we were facing one of the best pitchers in the NL. That daunted Cardinals offense didn't exactly light things up either. Cueto et all, pitched a great game for the Reds, basically making a one pitch mistake that was the difference in the ballgame. As he says, if the Reds pitching holds up like that, they're gonna win more than they lose.

Rough year IMO: 76 wins.

Pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming when you finally stand in front of Uluru, deep in the Red Centre and Australia's most recognisable natural icon and culturally significant Anangu site.
See Uluru through the eyes of its traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu, by joining a cultural tour to learn the legends and secrets of The Rock and spend time with local Aboriginal communities.
Get up and at 'em early and watch your own private sunrise over Uluru, while experiencing Voyages' deluxe eco-camping atop a sand dune on the border of the iconic Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Pinch yourself when you finally witness a postcard-perfect sunrise over Uluru/Ayers Rock, deep in the Red Centre and Australia's most recognisable natural icon and culturally significant Anangu site.
Take time to gain an understanding of local Anangu culture and the spiritual meanings of the landscapes around Uluru, Australia's most recognisable natural icon and culturally significant Anangu site.
Make the most of the added extras at Voyages Ayers Rock Resort, with a guided walking tour with a ranger to discover Aboriginal legends and the secrets of Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/The Olgas.
Start or end your day with a sunrise/sunset camel ride. The quiet desert landscape brings peace as you reflect on your Outback Journey.
One of the great natural wonders of the world, Uluru/Ayers Rock towers above the surrounding landscape.
Geologists say their formation began about 550 milion years ago. Uluru is not only a spectacular natural formation, but its a deeply spiritual place. You can feel a powerful presence the moment you first set eyes on it.
For the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu, World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park holds a special cultural significance.
Whether you choose to walk with a traditional owner, join a camel tour, self-drive or dine under a canopy of stars there is something to suit everyone.
1. Walk around the base of Uluru The Uluru Base Walk is one of the best ways to soak in the beauty and get up close to Uluru.
You can circumnavigate the 9.4 km base and relax beside tranquil waterholes, take a break under a magnificent Sheoak tree and peer into hidden caves.
Join a guided tour to hear stories of the Dreamtime passed down by generations. See incredible rock art sites, learn about the natural flora and fauna of the area, and find out more about the fascinating geology of this area.
Did you know that what we see today are just the tips of huge rock slabs that continue below the ground for up to six kilometers!
Many visitors are surprised to learn that there are more than 415 species of native plants, 21 species of mammals, 178 species of birds, 73 species of reptiles and thousands more species of ants, spiders and bugs found here.
There are plenty of walking trails at the base of Uluru and most are wheelchair accessible. By choosing to walk around the base instead of climbing, you will be respecting the wishes of the local Aboriginal people.
2. Enjoy a sunrise or sunset Uluru is famous the world over for its spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
Whatever you do, don't miss a sunset or sunrise at Uluru when the light turns its massive surface from ochre brown to burnished orange to intense red and all the colours in between.
There are over five viewing areas built specifically for experiencing the landscapes of Uluru so don't forget to pack your camera!
3. Dine under a canopy of stars Have the dinner of your life, under the stars and deep in the desert against the backdrop of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, tucking into gourmet outback fare.
What better way to enjoy NT's iconic landscapes then by combining them with world class dining experiences.
With Sounds of Silences and Tali Wiru dinner packages available from Voyages, there is a dining experiences to suit all budgets and tastes.
4. Visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Culture Centre The Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre is a great starting point for visitors to the park.
The centre offers information about activities and the park as well as an introduction into Anangu culture.
The award winning Maruku Arts has a diverse range of art including woven baskets, punu (woodwork) and traditional paintings on canvas.
Get involved and take part in demonstrations and workshops with local artists.
Maruku Retail Gallery, is located at the Cultural Centre within Uluru Kata -Tjuta National Park.
5. Take a camel tour Travel through the red sand of Central Australia on the back of a camel, or desert ship, taking sunrise and sunset tours to both Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a deeply sacred place to the Indigenous Anangu people. Because the climb has great spiritual significance Anangu say 'please don't climb'. Please don't climb The climb is not strictly prohibited, but we do ask that you respect the local law and culture by not climbing Uluru. The climb is physically demanding and for your safety there are times when the climb is closed. The climb can also be dangerous. Some people have died while attempting to climb Uluru, while many others have been injured. Rather than climbing Uluru you can take the fascinating Uluru base walk instead. Start from Mala carpark in the morning while it is cool, take plenty of water and discover the diverse plants, and animals and geological features. This is the best way to fully appreciate the natural and cultural beauty of Uluru. Take a tour and chat with local guides to learn more about their culture and the significance of this mighty rock. There is also a free ranger-guided 'Mala' walk on every day. This walk talks you through the story of the Mala (rufous-hare wallaby people), giving you the chance to learn more about traditional Anangu culture, rock art and how the park is managed. There are plenty of options so please visit Parks Australia website for more information.
Uluru can be accessed by air with direct flights from major Australian airports and via Alice Springs airport. The Red Centre Way drive is ideal for those wanting a self-drive adventure or you can join one of many organised tours from Alice Springs.
Please see the following links for more information.
Watch the sun rise and set on Uluru and witness the magic colours of one of the Northern Territory's most famous icons.

Frostburg State University, President Gibralter Honored in Annapolis
FSU President Jonathan C. Gibralter was received on the floors of both the House and Senate, where proclamations were read commending Frostburg State for its commitment to academic excellence. Gibralter was accompanied to the State House by a delegation of FSU students, who were also welcomed from the floor. The proclamations were sponsored by members of the local delegation, Sen. George Edwards (R-1st), Del. Wendell Beitzel (R-1A), Del. Kevin Kelly (D-1B) and Del. LeRoy Myers Jr. (R-1C).
The FSU delegation was greeted by Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-27), who said of Frostburg and Gibralter, "It's a great college. It was a fine college and you've made it a just a wonderful college. We're very honored to have you here."
Edwards introduced Gibralter and the students accompanying him to the Senate assembly, saying, "Dr. Gibralter has done a tremendous job since he's been there. The University is moving forward and flourishing," Edwards said.
In the House, Gibralter was welcomed to the General Assembly by Speaker of the House Michael Busch (D-30). Beitzel introduced Gibralter to his colleagues, saying the FSU president was being recognized "for his outstanding leadership of this outstanding Maryland institution of higher education."
Colleges of Distinction are higher education institutions that excel in four key areas: student engagement, quality of teaching, vibrancy of the college community and success of graduates. FSU was selected for the strength of its first-year experience, including learning communities and themed residence halls, the quality of faculty, its students' dedication to community service and sustainability and the clear direction presented in the University's strategic plan.
Gibralter later addressed House and Senate sub-committees on FSU's progress. His testimony can be read at www.frostburg.edu/budget/testimonies.

Online News For You! From all at The Federation of Independent Detectorists and Detectorists.net
In the last month we have been inundated with letters, phone calls and emails complaining about the following so called "Heritage Website" news
and views from
. HERITAGE ACTION Welcome to the TEN
MILLION ARTEFACTS TAKEN FROM FIELDS! Where?
Throughout the world?
Eastern Europe?
Iraq? NO
IN BRITAIN! On Friday September 14th2007
the Heritage
Action Artefact Counter will tick to the figure of ten million, being a
conservative estimate of the number of recordable artefacts removed from our
fields and scuttled home with or flogged by metal detectorists, the vast
majority without a word to anyone else. This is not heritage protection. In fact it is uncivilized behaviour
towards heritage
and it doesnt
happen anywhere else in the world. ITS TIME TO CALL TIME ON THE EROSION! Artefact
Erosion Counter A running
total of the number of recordable archaeological artefacts removed from the
fields of England and Wales by metal detectorists (the great majority without
being reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme). Current running
total of recordable artefacts removed since 1975 by metal detectorists: 10,213,841 This counter is
based upon published figures from academic studies, the Portable Antiquities
Scheme and the comprehensive survey of finds rates recently carried out by
detectorists and published on the premier UK discussion forum. ****************************************************************** Please now read page 2
.. news and
views from
. HERITAGE FICTION Greetings
Ted Fletcher passing on to you a page from an organization calling itself Heritage Action which describes its web site as a
rallying point for anyone who feels that society is deaf to the threats to
heritage places, especially the most threatened of all, our most ancient sites. I hope to launch a similar internet site dedicated to
countering the propaganda put out by Heritage Action; and ensuring that the media, politicians, tax payers,
landowners, farmers and anyone thinking of taking up metal detecting as a
hobby, have easy access to the true facts about the heritage industry. Those who run Heritage Action are
totally dedicated to the destruction of the metal detecting hobby. They cannot
be deflected from that task by appeasement ... by cow-towing ... by keeping a
low profile. The only way to beat them is to hit hard with the facts they do
not want excavated and brought to the attention of the media. I can do that ... but not without help from you with the
costs of research, which involves travel to and from archives, as well as
laborious searches of archaeological records and journals over many, many
years. If this subject matters to you ... if the propaganda put out
by Heritage
Action worries
you, please complete the following and reply to me at once: (COPY AND PASTE IN YOUR EMAIL)
Date: Your name: Company / Organization: Ted ............ I/We want to help you in this struggle to counter Heritage Action propaganda. I/We pledge £
.......... as a one-year contribution to the
costs of getting Heritage
Fiction up-and-running. Signed: Please return signed pledge to Ted Fletcher ....
It was to be hoped that the 21st Century would see a new era in which detectorists and archaeologists could at last co-exists, with each side realising that although they are very different, they do in fact compliment each other. Although some improvements and 'good news' (as will be seen in some of the articles below) have recently come to pass, there are still constant stories of bad relations and in some cases outright hostility. Our Federation has tried ever since we came on the scene in 1982 to maintain good and fair relations with all bodies, whether archaeological, museums, Government departments, public authorities etc etc. In the main this has worked but there are always those small minded people who cannot behave in an adult manner who try undermine the good work of detectorists and archaeologists alike. Let us hope that common sense will eventually prevail and maybe 2008 will be the year when peaceful co-existence will become a regular feature for us all. It is well to remember that the past belongs to everyone not just any particular small minority interest. POLICY THE NATIONAL TRUST Metal Detecting on National Trust land
This note sets out National Trust policy on Metal Detecting on its properties in England and Wales. It is intended for use by metal detectorists and aims to clarify why we will only allow metal detecting on our land under controlled circumstances.
BEGINNERS PLEASE WE WELCOME YOUR VIEWS ON ANY ASPECT OF THE HOBBY Letters, news items, criticism, articles, all are welcome and subject to available space will be included in 'Online News' as soon as possible. Just send them to 'Fid Online News' . And like everything in FID your contribution will receive immediate attention! Is very proud to feature such outstanding contributions.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Topeka police are investigating whether DNA evidence stored in California in 1992 could solve a 1985 rape case.
The Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/tdzA1Q ) discovered the existence of the DNA while reporting on the case of Topeka resident Joe Jones, who was released from a Kansas prison in 1992 after DNA evidence exonerated him of a 1985 rape.
No one has been arrested for the crime, in which the victim was kidnapped at knife-point in downtown Topeka.
Ed Blake, who originally tested the DNA and testified at Jones' 1992 release hearing, said his DNA testing firm has leftover DNA material. He says new technology could possibly identify the rapist.
The DNA remnants have been frozen in a cooler for the past 19 years in California.

Montgomery County Administration:
501 North Thompson, Suite 401
Conroe, Texas 77301
Payment Plan Information
What is the expectation? The State of Texas expects that all fines and fees are to be paid on the day of sentencing. For information on how to pay your fine, see Payment of Fines and Fees.What if I cannot pay my fines in full on that day? The Court understands that not everyone is able to pay their fine in full at on the same day, and has implemented a process to assist those who believe they are unable to do so. If you believe you need additional time to pay your fines in full, you may apply to the Court for extended time payments. To do so, you must: Pay all applicable state fees (court costs); Complete a Defendant Request for Extended Time Payments form and submit to the Court; Submit an Application for Extended Time Payment form to the Collections Specialist within five (5) days of your sentencing date, along with supporting documentation.What happens next? Once the Judge has approved your Request for Extended Time Payments and you have submitted your application, a Collection Specialist with meet with you. They will: Review your application for completeness; Verify information through documents provided; Verify additional information through other parties; Evaluate information for ability to pay; Establish a payment schedule and complete a Payment Agreement; Provide you with a copy of the Payment Agreement for your records and to remind yourself when your payments are due.PLEASE NOTE: Your fine is not a debt, and you will not be "billed" by the Court for each payment. Payments are your responsibility, and failure to comply with all obligations to the court will result in further sanctions.

Talks about a billionaire in Australia adding a T Rex that moves to a golf course, situated between the 9th and 10th holes. Kinda weird, I think I would find it a little too distracting, especially since it sometimes roars.

Bedlam in paradise: Marilyn Goode says that the area around her Sonoma Valley home is fraught with noise from vineyard development.
Down on
the Farm
Suburbanites and farmers clash over Sonoma County's new right-to-farm ordinance. Now the issue is heading
for the courts
By Tara Treasurefield
MARILYN GOODE used to delight in listening to birdsong every morning. "Now, there's an unbelievable din in the morning," she says. The source of all the noise? Vineyard development. "At 6 a.m., it's bedlam here," says Goode, whose family has lived in the Sonoma Valley for 60 years. "They're putting metal stakes in the ground with some kind of machine--rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat. It sounds like a war zone.
"We've been encroached upon."
But wait. Who's encroaching upon whom? The new right-to-farm ordinance, approved by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors last year, protects agriculture from residents, not the other way around--disturbing news for a growing number of suburbanites concerned about pesticide use and other agricultural practices.
Pete Parkinson, director of planning at the county Permit Resource and Management Department, says the ordinance makes it clear that "legal and properly conducted agricultural operations on agricultural land will not be considered a nuisance under the Sonoma County Code" and "ensures that people are informed of the consequences of living in a right-to-farm county."
The ordinance warns that anyone who lives on or uses property near an agricultural operation "may at times be subject to--without limitation--noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, insects, operation of machinery during any time of day or night, storage and disposal of manure, and ground or aerial application of fertilizers, soil amendments, seeds, and pesticides."
Surprisingly, the environmental community has split over the ordinance's provisions.
For instance, Mark Green, executive director of Sonoma County Conservation Action, says, "I look at the new right-to-farm ordinance as the agricultural community flexing its muscles. The subtext is that if called by a constituent with a complaint about how agricultural activities are affecting their life or their health, four of the five supervisors [west county Supervisor Mike Reilly voted against the ordinance] will side with agricultural operators. That's really what this ordinance means."
On the other hand, west county organic farmer Shepherd Bliss supports the right-to-farm ordinance. "Some people have gotten so mad at the wine industry that they're mad at farmers in general," he says. "The impact of some urban environmentalists is going to be to run off small family farms."
THE RIGHT-TO-FARM ordinance specifically protects three zones: land-intensive agricultural (LIA), land-extensive agricultural (LEA), and diverse agricultural (DA). Under the ordinance, owners of property within 300 feet of an LIA, LEA, or DA zone who require a use permit must record a declaration acknowledging the right-to-farm standards; this is a binding declaration that runs with the property in perpetuity.
Also, potential home buyers must be notified of the right to-farm protections if the property is within 300 feet of an LIA, LEA, or DA zone. All property owners in the unincorporated areas, including those who don't live within 300 feet of an LIA, LEA, or DA zone, receive notification of the right to farm with their annual tax bill.
According to Parkinson, this is because "sights and sounds of agriculture can travel more than 300 feet."
West county resident Alan Morgan (a pseudonym) worries about the effects that pesticides drifting from neighboring farms will have on his children. "We don't have any control over the chemicals they put into the environment around our home," says Morgan, who has received threats over his complaints to neighboring grape growers.
"We can smell the poison and see the drift coming onto our property."
Morgan says that the Sonoma County Agricultural Commission seems more concerned about protecting agricultural interests than his family's health. "Why, when I make a call, can't I get someone to come out? The right-to-farm ordinance is very bad."
But Parkinson says, "A common misconception about the right-to-farm ordinance is that it somehow changes the way pesticide application is done; that's regulated by the state and the agricultural commissioner. The right-to-farm ordinance provides no protection to any farmer who applies pesticides illegally or improperly."
Green says, "If someone can demonstrate in a legal sense that they have been damaged and there's harm to their life, liberty, or property, the law says quite clearly that they have the right to sue for redress of those grievances in court." Green says that a court in the Midwest recently ruled against a similar right-to-farm ordinance because it "illegally stripped people of their right to seek redress for grievances."
In fact, Ann Maurice of the Sebastopol-based Ad Hoc Committee for Clean Water has filed suit against the county. "We believe that the differences [between the new right-to-farm ordinance and the one the board rescinded] are significant and will have serious adverse impacts," she says."
A major concern is the disclosure notice to all residents of the county that they should be prepared to accept, without limitation, inconveniences or discomforts associated with agricultural operations.
The case goes to court in August.
But Nick Frey, director of the Sonoma County Grape Growers Association, offers an alternative to legal action. "If you have a problem with a grape grower, talk to him first, and if that doesn't work, call us. We'll try to mediate some kind of discussion and enhance communications."
But critics of the right-to-farm ordinance point out that the changing nature of the county's agricultural economy--including the recent introduction of industrial-scale vineyard operations--is altering the way that farming affects residents.
Marilyn Goode agrees that communicating with growers can help preserve the land she loves, but she misses what has been lost. "For the last 30 to 40 years, we've been primarily dairy and grazing land," she says.
"There hasn't been intensive agriculture around me for the 60 years that we've been here. Years ago, they didn't use this kind of heavy equipment. Nor did they have the lethal poisons they use now. We had chickens, turkey farms.
"Turkeys are pretty quiet."

Stevel Seagal acts like he can beat anyone, so for me to say that he cant, or to say that hes not nearly as good as he thinks is warranted.
Randy Couture October 5, 2012
Stallone said on an interview that JCVD called out seagal while at a party at his house and seagal backed out. @sickbastard usually guys get more humble at 60 this idiot thinks he is better and faster.
subidoo October 5, 2012
Steven Seagal is rad. He gives people something to bitch about. Neverthelesss, he's real dojo type martial artist, not a mixed martial artist. He's also very funny and marked for death is an awesome movie. All you haters can suck one. Steven Seagal is entertaining. Oh ya, I know your response… "He's not a real martial artist in any way, blah blah blah…"
Iron_Cobra October 5, 2012
Idk he might be psychotic enough to kick jcvd ass now and then. I heard every bone he broke on film was actually real including his own. Then captured a unicorn, removed its horn and stabbed the beast a 157 times to drive them into extinction.

i would butt rape steven seagull in a fight. sorry, but i really would.

Steven Seagal has been "fighting his entire life" he said so himself. Still waiting for proof of one said "real fights" but I guess we can just go off Steven's word, it seems legit to me (rolls eyes).
That show is gonna be tits October 6, 2012
Damn peoples, he's a bullshitter, that's what he does, no one cares if he's full of shit, everyone needs a bullshitter around, they are fun to laugh at. My dad sounds just like Seagal if not worse always talking shit, saying he can punch through a dudes chest, voodoo is real, practicing tai chi will give you the strength to snap a man's neck, he has killed over 20 people in knife fights…
beefdooche is into lemon parties
muppetoflove October 6, 2012
Look up the history of Akido and you will realize it is a bunch of BS. Basically there was jiu jitsu dude who was friends with a cult spiritual leader. He took the cult BS and added it to Jiu Jitsu then removed sparring, because he didnt want people to get hurt using the "GENTLE ART!" Its a load of fucking bs. I personally dismantled a second degree akido black belt with nearly 80 pounds on me as a newly promoted blue belt.
Beast w/ 8 Limbs October 6, 2012
You know what's worse than a world with people like him? A world without people like him. He's harmless, and fun to listen to/laugh at. Loosen up guys. You're taking him too seriously.
Moedawg October 6, 2012
I really don't understand all the hate towards Steven Seagal. I grew up watching him, trained Aikido when I was a little kid because of him. I think if he didn't have anything to offer the martial arts world, then Black House wouldn't train with him.

Chat about the South Lawrence Trafficway with Grant Eichhorn
October 16, 2007
This chat has already taken place. Read the transcript below.
When it comes to building the final leg of the controversial South Lawrence Trafficway, Grant Eichhorn - chairman of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission - has an idea he hopes would work.
Eichhorn said Wednesday that he thinks there's still a chance to reach a deal with Haskell Indian Nations University that would keep the SLT out of a wetlands area the university considers sacred.
The idea: Expand the number of lanes on 31st Street, in exchange for moving the proposed trafficway south of the Wakarusa River.
Hi. We're ready to start our chat with Grant Eichhorn, who is chair of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission. We have a few questions already, but feel free to submit more. Grant has recently been talking about the South Lawrence Trafficway issue, and about an idea for expanding the existing 31st Street. Let's start with that, Grant. Explain what your thinking on the subject has been.
Grant Eichhorn:
Very clearly the guidelines of the MPO state- (rule #1) preservation of existing roadways have to be taken into consideration in the process. That means 31st street is a real road that must be taken into this consideration of T-2030. The issues surrounding 31st are varied but boil down to right of way. If the right of way is found it should be a considered local arterial. If it is not found then it becomes a very different project.
From a sustainability point of view, building and maintaining two bridges and a longer roadway seem unwise as compared to a shorter land-only route. Your thoughts? Thanks.
Also, instead of widening 31st on the north side of the street, how about the south side? That would avoid disturbing Haskell's land.
Grant Eichhorn:
Quite difficult for me to discuss ongoing maintenance. Eastern roadway across river is substantially shorter-however. In the T2030 scenarios as well as traffic counts the existing bridge is near capacity (I assume most readers understand this from their real lives). Plan 95 as well asT2025 have a course for this eastern bypass bridge. It is likely T2030 will continue to consider this route as well. I can't tell you which side of 31st can be widened because the county doesn't own that land. It would be speculative to engineer a road w/o known ROW.
Grant: Given that this topic has been floating around for two decades now - and given that 31st street has been part of this controversy for years - what has changed that makes you think your proposed compromise could gain traction? And what reaction have you heard so far?
Grant Eichhorn:
As stated in first answer the MPO has very specific guidelines that it must follow. Theses are not just federal suggestions. Haskell has been informed very directly that this process is taken place and they hold all the proverbial cards in seeing the expanded 31st street scenario. If ROW is not produced then that scenario goes away. It is likely that any scenario that comes under scrutiny and lawsuit will be judged procedurally and the role of the MPO is to follow specific guidelines. As chair of the MPO I am following said rules by considering existing roadway.
Just briefly explain what the Transportation 2030 process is, and how much control the Planning Commission/MPO has over the process.
Grant Eichhorn:
The T2030 process is a subcommittee of the MPO. 2030 is being produced by a consultant because of the fast track nature. It is a mandate that any community in Kansas that wishes to receive federal monies must have an MPO and review their transportation plans every 5 years (or sooner). The MPO structure is (for now) the membership of the planning commission. The MPO has voted that after this T2020 process is finished that the membership should change to more specifically align those community positions that deal more specifically with roads- city and county public works, and representatives of the city and county commissions as well as the planning department. The MPO votes on adopting the 2030 plan and forwards the recommendations to the city and county commissions. The city and county commissions do not vote on the MPO plans. There are representatives of the city and county on the 2030 subcommittee.
If the 32nd route were used, would the existing wetland be destroyed? Thanks
Grant Eichhorn:
The word destroyed is rather subjective. There are substantial mitigation plans for a 32nd street alignment. The 4f review that is being finished by the feds is in direct response as to whether the Haskell Farmlands are historic. Yes, I did mean Farmlands- not historic wetlands.
Why not use existing roadbed on E 1900 Rd and N 1100 Rd? It's only 3 miles south of 23rd, stays well clear of the wetlands, and should be less expensive than building a completely new road.
Grant Eichhorn:
Can't speak to it as it hasn't been on recent radar. Sounds like an alternative that may have been looked at previously as the 35th street alignment?
What makes the wetland sacred?
Grant Eichhorn:
I would have to believe that is, quite literally, a personal question.
Don't mean to be snide here, but this has been going on all my life. Is there a truly viable option which could be commenced shortly and completed in my lifetime?
How does the need to tie-in with the new and improved US-59 affect those prospects?
Grant Eichhorn:
I certainly don't think the question is snide. Agness T. Frog existed during my graduation year- 1989. Using the 31st street corridor as a local arterial is viable. That allows some relief of some very acute traffic situations but only if there is ROW. The need to tie into the new 59 is HUGE. There is a new inter modal facility planned in Gardner that will, upon completion, put 10,000 more trucks on our nearby highways. The ability to connect 56 and K-10 as well as K-10 to I70 are paramount to our discussions. And did I already mention the federal guidelines that we must follow. There is very clear indication that a traffic plan that does not take into effect efficient freight movement is not a plan at all.
We'll end with that. Thanks to everybody who took part in the chat today.
Grant Eichhorn:
I appreciate the ability to respond to the community about this very important process. Thanks for the opportunity.
Bladerunner 7 years, 6 months ago
Just build the damn thing.. I really dont even care where it goes anymore.
PapaB 7 years, 6 months ago
Would there be any fuss whatsoever if KDOT wanted to build through a farmer's land that he felt was sacred because he built and used a medicine wheel and had family members buried on it?
Joel 7 years, 6 months ago
KAT: I didn't moderate, but: MPO = Metropolitan Planning Organization ROW (I believe) = Right of Way
justthefacts 7 years, 6 months ago
FYI - the claim of bodies being buried has never been substantiated in any sense, despite some pretty extreme tests trying to locate the remains (hundreds of holes dug, on a grid, infra-red detection, etc.). What is more likely to have happened is that the missing students from years ago simply got tired of being there and left. And the medicine wheel has been there, and wet land conditions have existed, how long? I've been told they both have been at these sites for not that many years.
This is a typical "not in my backyard" argument that happens any time the government wants to put anything anywhere. People may favor the public improvement, in general, but almost NEVER when it is to be built too close to them!!
kcwarpony 7 years, 6 months ago
"The issues surrounding 31st are varied but boil down to right of way. If the right of way is found it should be a considered local arterial. If it is not found then it becomes a very different project."
I know a few years back the city said they couldn't find the legal documents showing permission was granted by Haskell to run a city sewer line through its campus. Is Grant saying the county can't find the right of way documents for 31st street or is he talking in terms of determination?
gccs14r 7 years, 6 months ago
Take a look at the area on Google Earth. Having the SLT anywhere on the north side of the river puts it way too close to town and requires tearing up greenspace we'll wish we had in 50 years.
LogicMan 7 years, 6 months ago
"Take a look at the area on Google Earth. Having the SLT anywhere on the north side of the river puts it way too close to town"
Am doing so now. No, the best route is N 1250 Road -- likely what would be 35th Street. Crossing the river, twice, makes no sense, and the longer route would disturb more of the ecosystem.
KsTwister 7 years, 6 months ago
It will never get built. Too plain to see that even the experts on the subject don't have answers either.
Mandie Eutsler 7 years, 6 months ago
so I asked what makes the wetlands sacred. i have not gotten a clear answer and am curious. could somebody help me out here. I didn't mean to offend Grant but I don't understand how that is "quite literally a personal question". If the rest of us have to suffer sh**ty traffic because of sacred ground the least they could do was tell us exactly why.... or maybe he doesn't know. could someone explain?

Shattered DVD Review
Article Date: December 17, 2007 | Publication: sohood.com | Author: Edwin Diaz

The film starts with Gerard Butler 's character Neil Randall and Abby Randall (Maria Bello) leaving their home and saying goodbye to their daughter who is left with a babysitter. Then things get interesting; the kidnapper named Tom Ryan played by (Pierce Brosnan) dismantles the Randall's lives with brutal efficiency. Pierce Brosnan is brilliant as usual, and plays his character perfectly, by having a straight face throughout, which helps fool viewers when the twist drops. What I mean by that is that you would think he would act a little insane throughout, because of what he knows, but for what his plans require he needs to be professional.
Butterfly on a Wheel was the original titled name but it was changed to Shattered and rightfully so because Gerard Butler 's character Neil Randall has his life shattered towards the end. Director Mike Barker does a great job in using different ways to portray the pain and anguish of Butler's character is feeling.
There's a very surprising ending. I definitely recommend you watching this film and I'll go as far as giving it 5 stars cause I think it's that good.
