The Case of the Missing Hyphen, Part 2
We thank all of you who took the time to respond to the question we posed two weeks ago: Should it be e-mail or email? There were eloquent arguments for both sides, but email won decisively. "Time to join the 21st century," wrote one gentleman, who added, "and I'm 61 years old."
Many of you chose email for pragmatic reasons, like this respondent: "In all practicality, email will win. On my smartphone, anyone typing the word e-mail has to shift to a second, then a third screen to complete the word."
What this amounts to, said another reader, is that "texting is creating a whole new language." We find ourselves rattled by that thought.
If, as one of you wrote, "The only quick punctuation mark I have on my smartphone is the period," then this helps explain the indifference to hyphens, commas, apostrophes—and capital letters after periods—that we nitpickers are noting with ever-increasing dismay. Why should advances in technology have to come at the expense of the English language?
Other readers took the long view. "When the use of a particular prefix with a particular word is new, the hyphen is a useful link," wrote one. "Once people become used to the new combination, the hyphen will be dropped." History bears out this astute observation. Let's look at some other familiar words that have followed the same pattern.
Goodbye: In 1968, Random House's American College Dictionary demanded a hyphen, and preferred good-by to good-bye. The 1980 American Heritage dictionary agreed. But by 2006, American Heritage preferred goodbye, although it also listed the hyphenated choices.
Passerby: It started out as passer-by. The Associated Press Stylebook still recommends the hyphen, but that probably won't last. The American Heritage dictionary already gave passerby top billing eight years ago.
Fundraiser: After years of recommending fund-raiser, the Associated Press's manual dropped the hyphen seven years or so ago.
Baseball: The one-word form we have today did not prevail until less than 100 years ago. It was base ball in the early nineteenth century and base-ball in the early twentieth century.
Grass-roots (adjective): The American Heritage dictionary, Webster's New World (fourth edition), and the Associated Press all agree on the hyphen, but grassroots is coming on strong.
So who are we to flout the inevitable? From now on, we'll grit our teeth and write email.

Christmas 'Log Review
Every year, for six weeks or so, I get a taste of what it's like to be a superstar.
From late October to early December, I am accosted daily by an aggressive mob of stalkers who know where I live. Their urgent need for my attention seems to be their only reason for being. No, they're not paparazzi or obsessed fans. I'm talking about Christmas catalogs. Every day brings a new swarm—they burst out of my mailbox, entreating me to behold them in all their holiday finery.
Well, even a six-week celebrity has an obligation to his public. I checked out every last one. None was turned away. Here, then, is my Christmas catalog review.
For big spenders there is the stately Gump's catalog, so tasteful you want to take a nap; or Neiman Marcus, with its sullen, stubbly, pasty pretty boys modeling $390 sneakers; or the gaudy Hammacher Schlemmer, for taste-challenged high-rollers: I've got to have that animatronic singing and talking Elvis, or more accurately, Elvis' head and shoulders—the King has been mutilated, I guess, to spare the embarrassment of pelvic thrusts in mixed company. How about spoiling your child rotten with Hammacher's "6½-foot teddy bear" for $500. If that's too sissified, the NFL Shop will warp the values of your little tough guy with a personalized 12-minute CD of a football game in which the announcer says the kid's name 30 times. It's never too early to learn that it's all about you.
Frontgate offers a machine that enriches your oxygen as it plays music. An up-and-comer called X-treme Geek has caffeinated soap, a talking toilet-tissue holder, and, for the guy whose girlfriend doesn't hate him enough already, a Wild West revolver-shaped TV remote, which makes a loud gunshot as it changes channels. It comes with a "super-cool official-looking sheriff's badge."
The Signals company tempts pet lovers with the "I kiss my dog on the lips" T-shirt, but I have my eye on the coat rack with three duck tails for hangers. Not to be outdone, What on Earth offers a "cat butt magnet set," to go with its flatulent toy puppy ("squeeze his belly") and a Bill Clinton figurine with a corkscrew coming out of his pants.
Wolferman's offers 44 pages of … muffins?! Fahrney's offers 56 pages of … pens!? Don't miss the Marlene Dietrich model ("sensuous curves in all the right places"), a bargain at $880, or the $3,000 "pen of the year" (who voted?).
From high-end catalogs on down, the one constant is the writing, which is excellent across the board. (Is this what good writers have to do to eat these days?) Oh, some are better than others. Fahrney's thinks the plural of entry is "entrys"—a store devoted to writing can't make such a dumb mistake. National Geographic's otherwise classy mailer misfires with the awkward "spiders are one of the creepiest crawlers out there." Spiders, plural, are "one"? Why not "a spider is"? Sahalie's writes "completely waterproof." How is that different from just "waterproof"? Orvis Men's Clothing says, "Crafted in New England, you'll appreciate the comfort." This sentence, taken literally, means "you" were crafted in New England. Herrington's high-spirited but sloppy catalog spells minuscule "miniscule." Herrington is also one of many catalogs that can't get the subject to agree with the verb: "Every one of our vintage Ferraris are parked …" No, every one is parked. Subject-verb agreement is a big problem nowadays, and reflects the carelessness and short attention spans this era will be remembered for.
When you read as many of these things as I did, you come to realize that catalogs have their own language, rules, and customs. Numbers are almost never spelled out, not even leading off a sentence. That's against all civilized rules of writing, but merchants want to be direct, not correct. They're targeting our eyes, not our brains. Capitals are thrown around extravagantly because anything capitalized looks Important and Impressive. Hyphens are avoided wherever possible because advertisers will always choose two simple words with a clean space between them over one long, confusing word with an ungainly bar right in the middle.
Many companies sell jewelry made with "Swarovski crystals," a fancy term for rhinestones, which is in turn a euphemism for phony gemstones. And countless catalogs feature "nutcrackers," so called because they were inspired by the popular Tchaikovsky Christmastime ballet. The 21st-century versions look to be useless, charmless statuettes, tackier than tin soldiers. You can get them wearing uniforms of your favorite pro sports team or branch of the military. Despite the name, I doubt they could even crack a moldy peanut. Their heads don't even bobble.
Finally, see if you can figure out what this list of words culled from several catalogs refers to: chianti, chili, dirt, dragonfly, dusk, espresso, grasshopper, mineral, nutmeg, ocean, persimmon, raisin, root beer, sesame, spa, sweet pea, sweet potato, toast.
You might as well give up, because you'll never guess. They're … colors?! "Oh, sweetheart, you look fabulous in that root beer muumuu!" "Thank you, darling, and that dragonfly-and-dirt sweater goes so well with your spa-and-dusk striped tie and those toast trousers."

Media Watch
Several weeks ago, a Vatican-endorsed medal honoring Pope Francis had to be recalled because Jesus was spelled "Lesus." Just last week, a political placard at a Washington, D.C., press conference spelled filibuster "fillibuster" and against "againts." In light of these disgraces, it seems the right time to reopen our Media Malfeasance file…
• "They have arrested two suspects, neither of whom are British." This decades-old problem is only getting worse. To journalists it may concern: The pronoun neither, like either and each, is always singular. Make it "neither of whom is British."
• "Prop. 32 is an initiative to curb union's influence." Ah, apostrophes. Note that one could also say "to curb the influence of unions"—that's unions, plural. Plural nouns ending in s show possession with the apostrophe after the s, not before. So make it "curb unions' influence."
• "Guess who's coming to dinner?" Looks all right, you say? The problem is the unnecessary question mark. "Guess" is an imperative—a direct order, not the first word in a question.
• "Rebecca Solnit's book, Unfathomable City, was celebrated last week." Remove the commas. This is slipshod editing. With the commas, the sentence means that Unfathomable City is the only book Solnit has ever written. In fact, she has written over a dozen.
The rule is that commas set off nonessential information. If the author has written only one book, its title is not essential to the sentence: "Rebecca Solnit's [only] book, Unfathomable City, was celebrated last week." But since she has written several, we must be told which book directly—no commas. Similarly, The actor, Robert De Niro, was there is incorrect with commas. But The president of the United States, Barack Obama, was there is correct.
As writers' skills decline, so do readers' standards. The acerbic avant-garde musician Frank Zappa (1940-1993) once described a rock 'n' roll magazine as "written by people who can't write for people who can't read." Were he alive today, Zappa might not limit his assessment to rock-music journalism.

Words Can Be Bullies
Words that start with the letter h don't always act like it.
Consider "herb," when it means "an aromatic plant used for seasoning in cooking." Americans dump the h, whereas many Brits pronounce it. So we say "an 'erb," but an Englishman says "a herb."
A different sort of h-confusion happens when self-important speakers and writers say "an historic occasion" or "an heroic soldier." Ever notice that "an" only precedes a few highfalutin h-words like "historic(al)," "hypothetical," "hallucinogenic"? And they tend to have three or more syllables: "An heroic soldier" is also "a hero."
About 20 years ago, Time magazine ran a front-cover headline beginning, "A Historic…" and misguided word nerds raised a furor, insisting Time should have said "An Historic"—but the magazine never budged, stating flatly that "an historic" is wrong.
In everyday conversation, would you describe a wailing brat as "an hysterical child"? I sincerely doubt it. But what makes "hysterical" so different from "historical"?
A Google check yields tips from various websites, which only reinforce common sense: "You should use 'an' before a word beginning with an 'H' only if the 'H' is not pronounced" (from the website wsu.edu/~brians/errors/anhistoric.html).
Or this: "you use an before vowel sounds…Following this rule, we would say 'a historic,' not 'an historic' " (betterwritingskills.com).
Or this one, which ought to seal the deal: "I'd love to hear a reasonable argument, based on logic and not convention, in support of 'an historic'…given the prevalence of such similar constructions as 'a hotel downtown' and 'a high bar' and 'a hitman killed my dog' " (ask.metafilter.com).
Pomposity often leads to tortured language. I remember lawyer-turned-sportscaster Howard Cosell, rest his troubled soul, and the way he regularly subjected professional athletes to his cruel and unusual polysyllabic punishment. In general, jocks are spoiled, semi-educated boors, and they know it, so the tug-of-war between them and Cosell was great theater.
At its most sublime, it involved boxing champion Muhammad Ali. He and Howard made a great team, and there was genuine love and trust there. Whatever his faults, Cosell, perhaps at the risk of his own career, had taken up for the draft-evading Ali when the champ was something of a national pariah. (YouTube.com has many wonderful sequences of these two through the years.)
Although there was a good Cosell, all too often we got Bad Howard, neurotically insecure, the one who knew he was kept at arm's length by these great physical geniuses—and resented it. He knew they mocked him, not caring that Cosell had more knowledge of more subjects than all of them put together. So he would sometimes do perverse things, like the time he bullied a poor rookie football player from some Deep South ghetto. Bad Howard said something like: "So, my young friend, in your estimation, did the immensity of the task assigned you, juxtaposed with the metaphysical certainty of your callow demeanor, effectuate a lessened or heightened capacity on your part?"
I'm not kidding. That's pretty close to what Howard said. As the kid listened, his eyes widened with terror and confusion, as if he were being swarmed by a raging horde of ruthless linebackers. I don't recall his answer.

Spell Check Overreach
My spell check has been drinking again. It just told me "déjà vu" should be "deejay."
Everyone who uses Word software probably has some form of spell check. Mine — I call him "SC" — also makes occasionally helpful (but often just surreal) suggestions about grammar and punctuation. To be fair, SC sometimes saves me from my own carelessness. But all in all, I think I'd rather get dating tips from a praying mantis.
For less-experienced writers, spell check is a mushroom in the woods: be careful what you swallow. I once typed "public enemies" and SC wanted "enemy's." Nouns ending in y are tricky enough without bogus advice from a clueless tool. It pains me to think of all the insecure people who follow blindly.
SC is no panacea to grammar-challenged Americans. He changed "how is it possible" to "how it possible is," and "all of the above" became "the entire above."
The word snarky, referring to a snide attitude, has been in popular usage for a long time. But no one told SC, who thinks my hand slipped while I was trying to type "snaky" or "snarly." Come to think of it, those two words pretty much sum up snarky. But that's beside the point.
Another familiar term is "A-lister": someone who's show-business royalty. SC doesn't get out much, so he thinks I must mean "lifter" or "luster" or "blister" — or even "leister," which is a three-pronged fishing spear. That's no way to describe Angelina Jolie!
And it's not just trendy words that SC botches. The French word chez, referring to home or headquarters, has been prevalent in English usage since the early 18th century. So why does SC think I mean either a revolutionary ("Che"), a singer ("Cher") or some bloke named "Chet"?
For several decades, Luddite has been a handy word for someone who rejects or is confounded by modern technology: "I'm such a Luddite I can't program my DVR." You'd think SC could do better than "landsite" or "audited."
Clearly, at this point, spell check is too erratic. The irony is that it's least valuable to those who need it most.

What's the link between mathematics and madness? If you inherit your father's genius, will you also fall heir to his lunacy? Playwright David Auburn garnered a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for this play that poses these questions within the framework of a family drama. The story begins a week after the death of Robert, an acclaimed mathematician (Brad Blaisdell, appearing in flashback ); mentally ill in his last years, he'd been cared for by his mirthless, troubled daughter, Catherine (Teal Sherer). Alone and grieving on her 25th birthday, Catherine can just barely tolerate the presence of Hal (Ryan Douglas) a former student of Robert's searching through his papers for some shred of intellectual value. More annoying to Catherine is her older sister Claire (Collette Foy), in from New York and intent on whisking Catherine back with her -- an option Catherine resents and resists. At the nub of the plot is whether, as Catherine claims, she wrote the mathematical proof uncovered in a locked drawer, or whether, as Hal and Claire suspect, Robert devised it during a period of clarity. For this critic, Auburn's script has always registered as contrived and lacking subtlety - but this production blows away this bias by virtue of Sherer's uniquely winning portrayal. That the character - like the performer -- is wheelchair-bound adds a layer of vulnerability that brings the play to life for me as it hadn't before. Make no mistake: Sherer's accomplished performance stands on its own; it's the material that's been enriched. Kudos also to Foy for excellent work. Bob Morrisey directs.

Dear Philadelphia:
This summer, Keep Philadelphia Beautiful is joining forces with recently merged PA CleanWays-Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful to combat illegal dumping in Philadelphia. Our first step will be to conduct a survey of Philadelphia's illegal dumpsites. Our goal with this project is to identify and map all of the illegal dumpsites within the city. The data we gather will be summarized in a final report, which will be included in a first of its kind statewide report. PA CleanWays – Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has surveyed 37 counties in the Commonwealth identifying over 4,100 dumpsites containing and estimated 14,500 tons of trash. To view the final reports of the surveyed counties visit the PACleanways – Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful website at www.pacleanways.org.
Because it is necessary to complete this project by the end of September, we really need the help of each neighborhood. Please participate in the survey by supplying us with information about the location of known dumpsites within your community.
What should be reported - Definition of a Dumpsite:
The following are considered illegal dumpsites and will be included in the survey:
Areas of concentrated trash,
Areas of scattered trash that:
are not considered roadside litter (bottles, fast food wrappers, cans, etc.)
appear to have new trash thrown on them occasionally (more than twice a year)
appear to have new trash thrown on them occasionally, but cleanup maintenance is prevalent to prevent accumulation,
Areas containing only piles of yard waste (grass, leaves, branches, trees, etc.). These sites can often attract the dumping of other materials and can grow into major dumpsites, and,
Areas containing isolated or solitary items, such as 1 or 2 appliances or tires that may or may not be dumped on in the future.
Please send illegal dump location information via email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (215) 477-0235. We will be taking information on reported sites until July 10, 2010. Please include the address including zip code and cross streets and general section of the City when you submit a site.
Ex: In West Philadelphia there is a illegal dump site at 6421 E. Lancaster Avenue 19172, cross streets are Lancaster & Fancy Drive.
Keep Philadelphia Beautiful is Philadelphia's local Keep America Beautiful affiliate focusing on litter, waste reduction, and beautification, ( www.KeepPhiladelphiaBeautiful.org). PA CleanWays – Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is a nonprofit organization that empowers people to eliminate illegal dumping and littering. PA CleanWays – Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is not an enforcement agency. This process will help us begin to develop a case for tougher enforcement, cleanup and abatement strategies, and public education programs.

On an issue of first impression, a California court has created a judicial exception to the "take" prohibition in the state's fully protected species statutes. On March 20, 2014, the California Court of Appeal held that the live trapping and translocation of a fully protected species does not constitute prohibited "take" of the species. Center for Biological Diversity v. California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, 2014 Cal.App. LEXIS 256 (March 20, 2014) (pdf). The decision addresses a common conundrum in California: whether actions to protect a species authorized by the state and federal endangered species acts are nevertheless prohibited by the state's fully protected species law. The decision is the latest round in the long-running battle over the development of the Newhall Ranch project in northern Los Angeles County.
As a condition of approval of its project, the landowner agreed to implement various measures to protect the unarmored threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus williamsoni) – a fish protected by the state and federal endangered species acts and also by the California fully protected species law. The measures included live trapping and transplanting of the stickleback away from construction areas. The petitioners argued that the trapping and translocation measures would necessarily result in "take" of the stickleback prohibited by the fully protected species law.
The court read the "take" prohibition in the fully protected species law in conjunction with the definition of "conservation" in the California Endangered Species Act to conclude that the measures to conserve a species, including trapping and transplanting the species, do not constitute "take" prohibited by the fully protected species law. The decision is an important interpretation of the interplay of the two state laws and should provide greater flexibility to project proponents seeking to implement measures designed to conserve a fully protected species.

Symantec backup Exec 11d
Hi All,
I am new to symantec backup exec,
can you please give steps for below,
*How to restore a job which has been backed-up using Backup to disk
Comments 38 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Go to Restore tab & then expand the server for which you want to do restore & then click on items you want to restore once the item is selected if you click on view by media , you will come to know the bkf file used for the backup done
So you can restore from the bkf file
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
Restore settings and procedures can differ on a number of factors but in summary:
FIle > New restore job.
Restore selections will be listed either by resource, or media if it still exists in the catalog. Media may need to be catalogged if it has since been trunacted.
Step through the settings, ensure you remember to redirect the restore set if you do not want to overwrite the existing files.
Hi ,
Backup job is failing stating Alert
Please insert overwritable media into the robotic library using the import command.
Jobshistory shows -
e000e020 - The job was scheduled to run, but the availability window closed before the job could start. There may not have been any destination devices available during the window, or the job may have been submitted to run when the window was closed.
I usually quick erase the old slot under Devices-Robotic libraries-Slots to fix this, but now when i do this , its sitting under current jobs stating Ready: no idle devices are available,
Job status for Scheduled backup jobs are showing up as Ready;No idle devices are available.
Please help.
You should have opened a new discussion as this is a new query from the original.....
Does your library or tape drive show an active connection to it under the devices tab? Little green arrow on device.
If it does, you may need to power cycle power library\tape drive and server depending on its connection type i.e. SCSI to clear this. Seen this a lot on BE11d.
Also could try manualy offline\disable and re-enable device on the properties.
A screenshot of the devices tab would be good.
thanks for the info, after tape drive restart,job status changed to scheduled from ready;no idle devices are available, but when it try to run a test run the job disappeared stating to insert overwrittable media so i tried deleting the old slots but the job erase library shows no ready; no idle devices are available, please help
Its hard to see from your screenshot but also the media in your library appears to be appendable only or overwrite protected, though ordinarily the jobs would show as queued if no overwritable or appendable media was present. Interested to hear if you restarted the server the library is connected to after your tape library restart.
...before going down the road of a server restart, try rescanning for the device in Device Manager in Windows...

Backup test run passed the authentication, failed on above, when i try to erase the old slots getting ready; no idle devices are available in job.
Check the connectivity between tape library and backup server (cable used, proper termination etc). Connected over FC Switch, check ZOning configuration also.
...if that is after a server restart, then you need to check the following:
1. That the library is on (not being funny!)...
2. That the cabling is all correct, and that any terminators are securely connected.
3. If an FC-attached library, make sure your zoning is correct!
4. That the library is connected to a supported card.
5. If the library has a web front-end, log on and check for any errors.
6. Check the library physically for any error lights and respond accordingly!
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
we replaced the fiber optic cable and now the tape drive showing up in Device manager, but got a call from symantec and they removed slots and devices under device pools, how can i get it back and check whether backup is working.. screenshot attached for your reference. thanks for helping so far!!
You have to configure the library/drive with Backup Exec. Use device configuration wizard to do so.
we are using tapes to backup , so should i select robotic libraries or configure install tape device drivers?
and it shows up like below,
Review the summary of devices recognized by backup exec to determine what you configure,
device summary,
backup to disk - 0
removable backup to disk folders- 0
robotic library - 0
library drives - 0
stand alone tape drives - 0
which means no tape drives are detected...
Can you post a screenshot of the device manager showing tape devices?
If i am not wrong, the tape drive is using IBM drivers. Uninstall those and run the device configuration wizard again.
Edit: Oops, talking about a library....
Medium changer should be listed as Unknown Medium Changer in device manager.
Also stop and disble Removable Storage Manager Service.
...you need to check your zoning config (either it's not active or done incorrectly!) and make sure the server is zoned to see the tape drive/s and robotics.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...you need to log onto your FC switches and check the zoning there. If that is a fibre-channel library, then your zones ideally include the robotics, the drive/s and the server's HBAs you will backup across.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...and it still doesn't show your robotics? If not, then you need to firstly check to see if your SCSI IDs are correct, and then download the IBM tape tools and run it against your device.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
OK, then open up BEutility.exe and run a repair as per the TN below on your BEDB:
Once done, do the following:
1. Uninstall the library from within BE.
2. Delete the library and robotics from within Device Manager, and turn it off and disconnect it.
3. Restart the server and allow to boot into Windows.
4. Shut down the server, reconnect the library and start it up.
5. Start up the server, and make sure the robotics shows up as well as the tape drive within Device Manager.
6. Change the robotics to Unknown Medium Changer if need be, and then run the Device Configuration Wizard within BE to install the Symantec tape drivers.
Then try again.

Pelissero Barbaresco Nubiola 2009
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Still in its infancy, this opens with ripe fruit aromas of blackberry and wild berry followed by touches of sweet coffee or chocolate-covered hazelnut. There's a nice plushness and richness to the bouquet overall. The quality of the tannins is firm and slightly textured. Drink after 2018. Cellar Selection."
Pelissero Winery
Azienda Agricola Pelissero is a family-run vine-growing estate located in the district of Treiso, in the heart of the Barbaresco zone. Many gradual changes have been performed by the successive generations of the Pelissero family, who transformed their business from grape growing and selling begun by Giovanni Pelissero, into winemaking of all their estate-grown grapes.
The first bottles of our own wine date back to 1960 and were produced by Luigi Pelissero, whose work was followed by his son, Oenologist Giorgio who after finishing his studies, decided to work full time at the winery. The Pelissero family takes care of all the winery work; from pruning the vines to marketing the wine.
The estate consists of twenty hectares of vineyards which yield a total of 80,000 to 100,000 (depending on the year) bottles of wine, namely Dolcetto d'Alba from two vineyards (Munfrina and Augenta), Barbera d'Alba Piani, Barbaresco, Barbaresco Vanotu, Grignolino, Favorita,Freisa and Nebbiolo.
It takes passion, commitment to the land and hard work in the vineyards and cellar, to always endeavour to make high quality wines, the only way we know to get real satisfaction. Research in the vineyards and, successively, in the cellar never stops here, and we hope that this will bring about further improvements on our wines. View all Pelissero Wines
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.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
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 & 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.

Our goal as professional historians is not to collect fact and figures about past events and individuals but rather craft narratives explaining historical change based on reliable evidence. As a researcher I hope to contribute to the story of the development of modern educational systems by emphasizing methodological and organizational techniques that were diffused, adapted, and implemented across the globe. As a teacher of history my goal is to aid students to understand that the shape of the world they live in is highly contingent on numerous historical processes that were neither inevitable or permanent. By stressing the interpretive nature of history, I aim to build critical thinking skills in my students so that they may better evaluate the soundness of the messages they encounter in the wider world.

Celebrity Apprentice winner Bret Michaels got a special treat on Lopez Tonight Thursday, as the studio audience was decked out in bandanas to honor him.
Watch the video on RadarOnline.com
Lopez told Michaels that it "was really good to see him" in the rocker's first appearance on the TBS talk show since he suffered a brain hemorrhage on April 21 that left him in the hospital for two weeks.
PHOTOS: Bret Michaels Through The Years
Lopez flashed to an image of Michaels in his hospital bed wearing a bandana, which got the rocker to recall how the pic had been snapped at a heavy moment following his surgery — and his doctor's ominous suggestion to see his children.
VIDEO: Bret Michaels Makes Surprise Appearance At American Idol; Says "I Needed This For My Soul"
Said Michaels: "I begged [my doctor], I said, 'Please don't let me go out in that gown — Give me a cape, a bandana, anything! — I want to go out with the boots on and guns blazing!'"
While Michaels was told to rest for six weeks before getting back to work, he kicks off a 40-show tour in at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi Friday, which is slated to run through October.
Michaels said while he feels he's only at 75 percent, he's gonna give "100 percent of his 75 percent" and "rock it" when he hits the stage.
Lopez Tonight, airs weeknights on TBS at 11/10c.

Couples With One ADHD Partner
Got a funny story?
Little did I know that I married into an ADHD family. Wasn't until years later that my wife was diagnosed, but even though I didn't know about ADHD at the time, it was obvious that this family was different. Trying to join a conversation with them was like trying to cross an 8 lane highway at rush hour! The speed, the aggressive lane changes, the fear of collisions kept me on the side street just watching in awe. How could they talk at that pace and for so long?!
I later coped by imagining that they were game show contestants with their hands permanently hovering over a buzzer. Whenever a topic came up—whether any of them knew anything about the topic or not didn't matter—I would imagine them immediately and simultaneously hitting their buzzers to answer or give the expert opinion. Sometimes I'd just throw in a topic, let them go at it and go outside to have more meaningful conversation with the dog. And of course, they had no clue that I disappeared.
Sure, no solution, but it helped me to laugh instead of being frustrated

London: Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has reportedly issued an ultimatum to Manchester United that they make him their new manager by next week.
Van Gaal, who has been the favourite to take charge of the Old Trafford side following David Moyes' sacking, has reportedly held talks with United chief executive Ed Woodward and has agreed provisional terms on a deal worth around 7 million-pound-a-season.
With the growing demand to appoint the job on full-time basis to interim-boss Ryan Giggs and with United bosses also considering a possible move for Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, the Dutchman has issued the one-week ultimatum to the Premier League club, the Daily Star reported.
Despite being the firm favourite to take charge of United, Van Gaal is reportedly in danger of losing patience with the World Cup looming and has told his close friends that he does not want to be kept waiting and wants the club to resolve his immediate future as soon as possible.
A source close to Van Gaal said that the Dutchman knows that he is in a strong position but realises the longer the matter takes to get resolved the more doubts would emerge.
The source said that Van Gaal knows that he is not the only person under consideration for the job as other names have also been mentioned, but the former Barcelona coach cannot wait for too long as it may affect his plans for Brazil.
The source also said that Van Gaal has made it clear to United that the middle of next week needs to be the deadline if the club wants him.
Although Van Gaal has given United a cut-off point in terms of giving him the job, the club has refused to put a time scale on appointing their new manager as they are still smarting from what happened with Moyes and know that they cannot make he same mistake again, the report added.
