Horticulturist brought color, creativity to garden
Whether designing a whimsical children's garden or a colorful landscape, William "Bill" Teague infused his passion for plants and nature into a variety of works throughout San Diego County.
He never went anywhere without his shovel and often had packets of seeds or an assortment of plants in his van in case he was inspired to do a little landscaping.
A respected horticulturist and creative garden designer, Mr. Teague was instrumental in designing or overseeing many of the displays at the San Diego Botanic Garden and for several public and private landscapes in Del Mar.
Mr. Teague died Sept. 29 at his Del Mar home. He was 66. He had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, in 2009.
Friends and colleagues said Mr. Teague was a modern-day Johnny Appleseed who enjoyed making the world a more beautiful place. "Bill filled his car to the brim with favorite plants, cuttings and seeds to share with others," said friend Sally Sandler, a docent at the botanic garden.
A founding board member of the San Diego Horticultural Society, Mr. Teague designed many award-winning garden exhibits for the society and the Botanic Garden. One of his designs, "Sea of Tranquility," won an award under the theme of garden without water. The Monet-inspired creation also earned honors for best use of floral color. In a 2006 interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Mr. Teague said the blue marguerites, lobelia, scabiosa and scaevola dotted with foam-white Diamond Frost euphorbia he used beneath a rare Australian dinosaur plant reminded him of a cresting wave. "I surf and have such affinity for the ocean. I wanted to get that feeling in this display," he said.
Horticulturist and author Pat Welsh said Mr. Teague was equally artistic and colorful with drought-resistant plants as he was with tropical plants. "Often he would discover new and outstanding plants that few people knew about. He would plant and promote them so eventually they became widely used," Welsh said. The flowering succulent, Calandrinia grandiflora, with its tall wands of fuchsia-colored flowers were among Mr. Teague's favorites. "Many local gardens, including my own, benefitted from his extraordinary talent for creating a marriage of plants and design so that the effect seemed effortless and the landscaping long lasting," Welsh said.
Mr. Teague spent more than 30 years as a protea and eucalyptus grower in North San Diego County. After retiring about 10 years ago, he joined the Botanic Garden, which was then Quail Botanical Gardens. "Bill left such a wonderful legacy with all his designs and plants," said Julian Duval, executive director of the Botanic Garden. "You can hardly walk through this garden and not see him. He was so revered here."
He helped establish the American Bamboo Society and volunteered his time and talents for several Del Mar Garden Club projects.
William Henry Teague was born May 2, 1944, in Palo Alto to Crawford and Evelyn Teague. He grew up in Corona, where his great grandparents were pioneers in citrus production. He earned a bachelor's degree in ornamental horticulture in 1967 from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona.

Too good to pass up....
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the sound quality for such a good priced/good looking headphone.... but I was blown away! Perfect for snowboarding, especially with the volume control knob on the right earpiece. The silicon is cozyyyy and the snow rolls right off. I love how they fold into the case and the cord can double as an AUX cord by disconnecting from the headphone. If something happens to them, I'm buying another pair for sure. 10/10!

Bomi County Senator Sando Johnson is insisting that former Liberian President Charles G. Taylor gets all of his benefits as ex-President of Liberia. Senator Johnson said Mr. Taylor deserves all his benefits.
Senator Johnson disclosed that family and friends have begun to pursue legal and political means to ensure that Taylor receives his just benefits.
The Bomi County lawmaker's statement comes in the wake of delays to discuss the letter submitted by the former President of Liberia concerning his benefits.
The Liberian Senate on Tuesday did not discuss the communication from former President Taylor.
The Senators have resolved to finally discuss President Taylor's communication by next Tuesday at which time a committee set-up to look into the legal aspect would conclude its work.
Senator Johnson told Legislative Reporters in an apparent angry mood that if former presidents could received their just benefits, ex-President Taylor was no exception.
"If other Presidents who were slain in office and those who left office could get their just benefits, what's about former President Taylor who resigned for the sake of peace" Senator Johnson wondered.
According to him, former President Taylor resigned honorably and deserves all benefits as former President. He vows not to rest until the benefits Charles Taylor is addressed.
Senator Johnson said Taylor's family does not want any political interference regarding his just benefits, noting that "the family wants the court to make a decision on the former president benefits."

Sony Ericsson feeds Eclair to XPERIA X8, it grows new features
XPERIA junior - the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 - has joined the X10 party and getting the Android 2.1 Eclair update. Just like the X10 minis, there are some additional improvements to the X8 software.
The Eclair update for Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is rolling out (image source)
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 uses pretty much the same software package as the XPERIA X10 and X10 mini, so when they get updated, the update for X8 is close behind (and bringing the same improvements).
Heres a reminder of what those extras are:
- Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
- New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
- Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
- Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
- Improved web browser
The update is happening gradually - to see if the update for your Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is out, check it SI-number (found on the back of the phone) and look it up in the list on the Sony Ericsson Product Blog page.

Insect cell (SF9) flow
I am looking for a protocol for insect cell flow. Actually I did find it, but I do need to treat my cell with (Brefeldin) BrA or Monesin and wanted to know if they can be used in insect cells and what concentration.
Thanks a lot! :)
Re: Insect cell (SF9) flow
I am purifying a protein which is a kinase family from E.coli overexpressed cells.I am not getting the protein in cytoplasm (ie, soluble fraction) after IPTG induction.hence, I have tried with reduing temperature (28 C) and also reduced the IPTG concentration (0.5 mM). But still it goes to inclusion bodies.
Experienced people in this field can help me
Getting protein in soluble fraction (E.coli overexpresed protein)
I am trying to purify the soluble protein overexpressed in E.coli. Which is a kinase family. Intially, I have tried with 37C and 1mM IPTG not worked it went to inclusion bodies. And I reduced the ITG concentration to 0.5 mM and temperature (28C). But still I am not getting recombinat protein in cytoplasmic fraction.
How to overcome this problem

I had an awful experience buying my iphone 5. Once I got helped it was fine but the 45 minute long wait when I pre-ordered sucked. Especially when I saw product runners just standing around. Eventually someone noticed I was left waiting after I was told it would be a few minutes and apologized profusely. Got my phone and I was happy but the wait did suck.
Also when I was buying an ipad smart case I was kind of treated rudely by an employee, who acted like he was doing me some huge favor by ringing me up when I could have prepaid for it on my iphone. I'm uncomfortable with the concept of paying for it on my phone and just grabbing the item so I'd rather have an employee ring me up.
I think a line with some actual cashiers would be helpful. The stores feel so chaotic every time I walk in. Its hard to tell who has been helped and who needs help still so I'm not really sure where to wait to find an employee if I do have a question.

I was having a look through the freezer and noticed that I still had a couple of braces of pheasant in there. The season for pheasant ended on the 1st of February, but as it's still wintery out, it's nice to have another taste of game even when it's out of season.
I love to roast game birds or pan fry their breasts for starters or salads, but as these have been frozen I thought poaching them would be best.
Poaching the birds will keep the meat moist, and leave you with a delicious stock you can use to make soups, or just in the gravy for Sunday roast.
This paté is similar to a French country paté just with the pheasant running through it. It is all cooked in a terrine, but a loaf tin would work just as well. This can be made a few days before you want it, and is as easy to serve as slicing bread.
So come on, get your game on!
Pheasant Paté
To poach the pheasant
- 2 carrots
- 2 sticks of celery
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp pepper corns
- 1 handful parsley stalks
For the paté
- 1 poached pheasant
- 500g pork mince
- 250g chicken livers
- 125g butter
- 2 shallots
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 10g salt
- 2g black pepper
- 50ml port
- 1 tsp rosemary, chopped
- 1 egg
- 250g streaky bacon
- Method
- Start by poaching the pheasant. Put the bird in a pan with the other ingredients, and cover with water. Bring to the simmer then turn down and poach for 40 minutes.
- Now lift the bird out, and when cool enough to handle strip all the flesh from the bones. The poaching liqueur can be strained and reserved for another use. Do not pour it down the sink as it's very tasty!
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°c
- Now for the paté – into a food processor put the livers, butter, shallot, garlic, egg, salt and pepper. Now whizz it all up til smooth. Scrape out into a mixing bowl then add the pork mince, port, rosemary and pheasant, and mix it all together.
- Take the terrine and line it with rashers of the streaky bacon. These need to overhang both sides as when filled they need to fold over the top.
- Next, pour in the paté mix and fold the bacon over. Cover with a greased piece of kitchen foil and then the terrine lid (if you have one).
- Place the terrine in a roasting tin on top of a folded tea towel, then pour a kettle of boiling water in until it comes to half-way up the terrine.
- Put the tin in the oven for 2 ½ hours, then remove and allow to cool down in the terrine. Refrigerate in the terrine overnight then it can be turned out and enjoyed – it's extra good with our Perfect Picallili and a green salad.

If you can get a theater full of people in Kentucky to stand and applaud the defeat of their country in war, then you've got some amazing special effects.
I just left opening night of James Cameron's gazillion-dollar epic film Avatar. The reviews were right. The plot is laughably cliched. And the special effects are the most jaw-dropping you've ever seen. What I wasn't quite ready for was the preachiness of the propaganda.
The medium was George Lucas; the message Che Guevara. At one point in the movie, Southern Seminary student Daniel Patterson turned to me and said, "This is Perelandra meets Jurassic Park." Yes, and then it became Rambo… in reverse.
First of all, from the preemptive war talk to the "blood for oil" theme to the napalm in the jungles to the "shock and awe," the film couldn't have been less nuanced. The American military was pure evil, while the Pandoran tribespeople were nature-loving, eco-harmonious, wise Braveheart smurf warriors.
Now, when it comes to issues of war and peace, I don't mind a message to the movie. American citizens can and do disagree about whether Vietnam or the Iraq War were right. Christians disagree about whether these wars were just (and many would argue they were just but unwise).
Some who believe the wars were warranted and just still oppose some of the tactics used. And most who oppose going to war in some of these places, still hope for their country to win those wars once they're entered.
Follow us Get CP eNewsletter ››
For this film, there was no argument here, no appeal, no real narrative though. Just propaganda mediated through some "shock and awe" technology.
And in the end, a group of people (including some, I'm sure, who love the counter-propaganda on their local country music station about such things) stood and applauded as the "wicked" U.S. military went down, quite literally, in flames.
Of course, James Cameron is the same man whose moving images and music caused theaters full of "family values" Christians to tear up and cheer two teenagers fornicating in an abandoned car on the RMS Titanic.
Despite my eye-rolling here, I'm not really all that bothered. Propaganda isn't dangerous, after all, when we know it's propaganda.
Still, movies of all sort ought to remind us of the power of images, and what they can lead us to think and feel. Wonder how much propaganda we're latching on to without ever even knowing it's there?

AP reported this week that rival jihadist groups in Pakistan have agreed to work together to fight against NATO and US forces in Afghanistan.
The meeting of some 300 jihadist fighters took place in early June in Rawalpindi -- a military garrison city where the headquarters of the Pakistani army is based.
After the July 7 suicide car bomb attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, international attention has turned to New Delhi's interests and activities in Afghanistan.
Tens of thousands of protesting Pakistani lawyers and their supporters are marching toward the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, in what's been dubbed a "Long March" to demand the reinstatement of the country's chief justice and 60 other judges who were sacked last year by President Pervez Musharraf, who they want to resign.
After a two month lull in the violence that has plagued Pakistan's border regions, Islamist militants appear to have resumed the violence when a recent suicide-bomb attack in the northwestern city of Bannu killed five.
Pakistan's new government is close to signing a peace accord with pro-Taliban militants as part of a softer counterterrorism policy from Islamabad that deemphasizes military strikes and calls for U.S. forces to show more restraint in the area.
A top US official has signaled that there will be no major policy shift on Pakistan in the aftermath of elections that dealt a serious blow against the US-backed president there, Pervez Musharraf.
In light of increasing instability in Pakistan and the apparent decline of President Pervez Musharraf's influence, American analysts say the United States needs to broaden its approach toward Pakistan to include aid not just to its army, but to civil society organizations, political parties, the court system and police.
The Caspian Basin energy equation is growing more complex, with Iran, India and Pakistan now renewing a commitment to build a natural gas pipeline across South Asia. On November 28, Indian officials confirmed that discussions with their Iranian counterparts were continuing.
Pakistani and Afghan authorities have repeatedly accused each other of failing to provide adequate security to prevent cross-border suicide attacks by Taliban-linked militants.
Until recently, however, little publicly available research has been conducted to understand or explain the way suicide bombings have been proliferating in Afghanistan since 2005.

The Voice
Cáthia and Ryan Innes Sing on The Voice 2013 Knockout Rounds (VIDEO)
Cáthia Sings "Mr. Know It All" by Kelly Clarkson and Ryan Innes Sings "I Don't Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw
On April 30, Team Usher's Latin singer Cáthia and soul singer Ryan Innes were pitted/paired against each other on The Voice 2013 knockout rounds. Cáthia started the knockout round with "Mr. Know It All" by Kelly Clarkson, her first English song since joining The Voice.
Ryan ended the night with "I Don't Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw. While the coaches all loved Ryan's prior performances, this last one wasn't as great as it could've been, though he definitely conveyed emotions. When it was time to make a decision, Usher chose Cáthia's melodic song to round out his team for the live shows.
Do you think Cáthia deserved to win the knockout rounds? Tell us below!

Guillem Balague
Spanish Football Expert & Columnist @GuillemBalague
Second comings
Is Mourinho heading to Chelsea? Could AVB seek solace in Spain? Guillem answers YOUR questions.
Last Updated: 06/03/12 11:22am
I was at the Santiago Bernabeu to see Real Madrid beat Espanyol 5-0, a result that I expected.
That's not because of this idea that Espanyol just give up against Real Madrid - if you look at the stats you'll see that Espanyol have beaten Real Madrid and Barcelona away from home the same number of times (seven). That's not many wins, but it shows how difficult it is to beat those two big clubs.
Mauricio Pochettino tried to play the 4-3-3 style that he likes, but the three central midfielders were not particularly defensive and that meant that Real Madrid could play the ball quite easily. There was a bit of a lack of personality on the field from Espanyol; they lost possession in key parts of the pitch and Real Madrid took advantage of that.
It was good to see Gonzalo Higuain, after all the doubts about his future, reinforce his confidence with two goals. I spoke to him after the game and he doesn't want to discuss his future, so we'll have to see what happens there.
He wants to know if Real Madrid see him as the number one choice when Karim Benzema is fit and also see what offers come in for him. That's an interesting one because Jose Mourinho defended him big time in the press conference before the game, saying that he was one of the best strikers in the world - and that's exactly what he wanted to hear.
Tune in to Revista on Tuesday night when we'll be talking in depth about the accusations of Barcelona 'people' (directors and players) towards the referees. They're becoming quite unanimous about this.
There were three penalties that should have been given in their game with Sporting and Gerard Pique was sent off, even though he said he didn't foul the player. The trade union of referees has decided to query Pique's comments and send those words to the competition committee to get him punished.
According to Barcelona players speaking off the record, that's something that didn't happen when Pepe stepped on Lionel Messi's hand or when Mourinho waited for a referee in the parking lot or when Iker Casillas shouted at a referee in the tunnel that he was going to go and party in Barcelona after the Clasico.
After those incidents there was no indication from the referees that they were going to protest, so Barcelona don't feel they are being treated fairly.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it in here or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Dear Guillem. How likely is it that Jose Mourinho will be the Chelsea manager by the start of next season? Do you think it would be a good idea for him to go back to Stamford Bridge? Or can you see Real Madrid convincing him to stay, especially if he delivers the league and the Champions League? Simon (Chelsea fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: He went to London for a couple of reasons. Firstly, to show people that he could be available. He's saying to some friends that he is definitely leaving Real Madrid and coming to the Premier League. I'm saying that doesn't mean he will definitely leave; he likes to make himself available almost every January. His second reason: if he doesn't leave he will push through phase three of his revolution at Real Madrid which includes more control of the academy and of the medical department, amongst other things.
He is even saying that going to Spurs would be a good possibility but I think he would be happier going to Manchester City. Chelsea? Roman Abramovich knows that bringing him back will be admitting a mistake and he would have to give Mourinho the power that he has at the club, so I'm not sure it would be a good idea. They have a fluid conversation going on and Mourinho told Roman that it was a mistake to give AVB the reins. Mourinho was offered the job last summer, so I don't see why Roman wouldn't offer it to him again. But second comings don't always work
Guillem, if Guardiola or Mourinho was to leave their jobs in the summer, do you think AVB would be a contender to replace them? Or has his standing in Spain been damaged by the problems he's had at Chelsea? Marc Smith
GUILLEM SAYS: I don't think Villas-Boas will be given a chance at Real Madrid or Barcelona yet, but I think there will be jobs available in the summer, perhaps Sevilla and Valencia, and he will definitely be a contender for those. I convinced he will do a great job in his next club and eventually he will have a chance at any of those two big clubs in La Liga. I don't think Villas-Boas' sacking from Chelsea has damaged his image in Spain; they realise Chelsea is a very complicated club, in the mould of the Latin clubs, and they understand the problems coaches sometimes have with powerful chairmen.
I believed Chelsea when they told me they were going to back the manager until the end of the season and that they had a long-term plan in place. That hasn't happened but they realised the dynamic was so negative and that it wasn't going to improve. When that happens, it is sometimes better to finalise things and move on. However, no-one should doubt the knowledge of Villas-Boas because he is going to be a great manager and his experience at Chelsea will only help him improve.
Hi Guillem, first of all I would like to say great work here and on Revista, which is in my eyes the best football show on TV. Anyways, I was wondering your views on Pep Guardiola as a manager. There's no doubt that what he has achieved with Barcelona over the past three seasons has created quite a profile for himself, but do you see him doing as well at a different club / national team? He is Mr Barcelona in the sense that he played, coached the B team, and progressed to the first team, so he is very familiar with Barcelona's style of play. But with the speculation surrounding the England job, do you think he would have what it takes? David Warwick
GUILLEM SAYS: Thanks for your kind words. Guardiola wouldn't go to a national team just yet and I'm still putting my money on him staying at Barcelona, but who knows? He is a closed box. He definitely - and I say this with 100 per cent certainty - wants to work at another club at some point. As part of the biography I'm writing on him, I've spoken to a lot of people and he definitely wants to try himself somewhere else.
Hi Guillem, I recently read that Barca's youngster Tello has been linked to Liverpool. I've only seen him play a handful of times but he looks very promising and is incredibly quick, which is obviously very important in today's game. How highly do you rate him and how likely is it that he will leave Barca? Kaneo Hoolio (Barcelona fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: Tello has got a contract until 2013 and he has a buy-out clause of 10million, but Barcelona are trying to negotiate a new contract with him and I think he will sign a new deal with them.
What is the attitude of Spanish football supporters towards English players? I find it disappointing that not many British players even attempt to play on the continent as it appears that a great deal more football is played in those leagues as opposed to the raw power of the English Premier league. Is it a case of England overrating it's players and teams against foreign opposition. Frankie Barrett (Rangers fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: It's not really an issue and is not something that is discussed in Spain. It's obviously something that will be discussed in England, but for me, everybody in the world should spend at least one year or some part of their lifetime abroad to open up their minds. I know Jonathan Woodgate had a really good time in Spain and so did Steve McManaman and David Beckham. Michael Owen suffered with being away and wanted to return home, but in most cases it really opens up your mind and your style.

Having enjoyed a good whiskey for a while I recently discovered the joy of large sized ice cubes in a good whiskey! They melt much more slowly leaving...
get a few small sized, 8 ounce cups.
The l on the inside of the cup is a good fill marker for water.
Yep just put it in the freezer... right next to your frozen chicken nuggets!
Running a bit of hot water on the end of the cup helps release the cube from the cup. Then just pop it in your glass and enjoy.

This is general advice when dealing with unknown callers.
There have been examples of people being called with claims that the resident has not paid a bill or is entitled to a tax rebate. The scam comes about when they start asking for personal details, especially bank details. These are the warning signs. They may try to scare you into revealing your details by saying that they will cut your phone line like the BT scam, or a host of other techniques to scare you or befriend you.
What is key here is that they have called you and you can't be sure they work for the company they say they do. Simply ask for a name and a telephone number they can be contacted on and say that you are going to confirm if the call is legitimate. What will most likely happen in a scam call is the caller will become evasive, aggressive or they will hang up.
If they do provide you with details contact the company using a number from the phone book or internet site to confirm the details. A legitimate caller will be more than happy for you to do this.
Companies never operate in this manner and knowing of these types of scams is an essential tool in fighting them.
For any queries or changes to community messaging contact details, please call 0345 123 33 33 and ask for your Divisional Community Information Officer.

Sold Out $79.99
2009 vintage is available for $65.99
Henry's Drive Reserve Shiraz 2001
Syrah/Shiraz from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
The Reserve Shiraz is the signature wine of Henry's Drive Vignerons and encompasses our approach to winemaking at its finest. Only the most exceptional parcels of fruit are hand selected from our family vineyard. Made with minimal intervention, this wine is a true expression of the vineyard, variety, and terroir of Padthaway.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Some might feel the 2001 Shiraz Reserve is too much of a good thing, but it is neither port-like, pruny, nor flat. It is simply crammed with concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit in an obvious but spectacularly textured style. It possesses considerable nuances. Loaded and thick, with low acidity and huge amounts of tannin, all concealed by lavish quantities of fruit and extract..."
Wine Spectator - "A dramatic wine, rich and spicy, almost Port-like in flavor, with exotic spices, bitter chocolate and black pepper notes mingling with ripe currant and plum flavors as they persist on a big finish."
Henry's Drive Winery
During the nineteenth century establishment of the farming and wine industries of southeastern South Australia, horse-drawn coaches provided the only transportation of mail and passengers. The coach drivers reigned supreme on top of their coaches, and won the respect and admiration of their passengers. The coach service proprietor in this part of the state was a certain Mr. Henry John Hill. His operation drove directly through a property owned more recently by three generations of the Longbottom family of Padthaway. Routes were known as Drives, thus the family's wine business is today known as Henry's Drive.
Third generation pastoralists Mark and Kim Longbottom are forging a new family tradition of fine winemaking with brands such as Henry's Drive, Parson's Flat, Dead Letter Office and Pillar Box. View all Henry's Drive Wines
About Other AustraliaView a map of Other Australia wineries
With a landmass the size of the US, Australia has just as many appellations. Many wines are simply labeled from their state of origin. Some of these are the most popular:
New South Wales- New South Wales has a variety of smaller wine growing regions. Many wines are a blend of these smaller appellations, leading to the more encompassing designation of New South Wales.
Western Australia– A small percentage of Australia's winemaking occurs on the West Coast. The largest Australian state, Western Australia, includes the appellations Margaret River and Great Southern.
Southeastern Australia– This appellation encompasses the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Grapes are often trucked in from at least 2 of these states for crushing and bottling, giving the wine a more general appellation of origin. This is the broadest appellation in Australia.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

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

The statement noted that 76% ownership by AFC and CHL makes the Kpone plant one of the largest African Private sector owned projects in the power sector.
The US$600M project's Mandated Lead Arranger of the debt funding is Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited, Africa's largest financial services firm and a leading investor in infrastructure projects across Africa.
The facility is supported by the Export Credit Insurance Company of South Africa (ECIC) under the department of trade and industry.

The Princeton Review Names Hartwick a Best Northeastern CollegeAugust 28, 2012
Hartwick College remains one of the best colleges in the Northeast according to national education services company The Princeton Review. Just over 200 schools are included in The Princeton Review's annual "Best of the Northeast" section of its online "2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region" feature.
The Princeton Review assessed several hundred schools in each region using institutional data, school visits, and the opinions of its staff, college counselors, and advisors. Hartwick's selection was also based upon analysis of academic excellence as well as an anonymous student survey. Hartwick students rated the college on everything from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of campus food.
"We are thrilled to learn that Hartwick has once again received this national recognition," said David Conway, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing. "The Hartwick Community should be proud of this accolade, knowing that student voices were used by The Princeton Review in their assessment. The college's inclusion on this year's list yet again indicates that our students remain pleased with their academic, social, and cultural experiences here at Hartwick."
Within the listing, Hartwick College is described as "...a place of active learning, where the faculty focuses on challenging and mentoring students through advanced research opportunities, innovative programming, and experiential learning." Student comments on The Princeton Review's Hartwick College profile also include:
• Located in a "beautiful area" of upstate New York
• Is "a tight-knit community that gives endless opportunities to its students"
• The school's "beautiful campus" is "truly unique"
• Other students are drawn to "the strong English program," "the creative writing club," the commitment to "going green," "the great honors program," and the great study abroad program
• Hartwick students are very happy with their "simply AMAZING!" professors who "bend over backwards to make sure [you] understand the material"
• All in all, Hartwick is an "institution of unforgettable and magical experiences"
The Princeton Review also designated 153 colleges in the Midwest, 122 in the West, and 136 in the Southeast as best in their locations. Collectively, the 633 colleges named "regional best(s)" constitute about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
Since 1992, The Princeton Review has been one of the most trusted sources for college rankings and information.

The Texas plant that was the scene of a deadly explosion this week was last inspected by theOccupational Safety and Health Administration in 1985. The risk plan it filed with regulators listed no flammable chemicals.

The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Posted 11 May 2013 - 13:54
AUSTIN — Hours after a paramedic in West, Tex., was taken into federal custody on Friday for unlawful possession of a "destructive device," the Texas Department of Public Safety and the McLennan County sheriff said they are launching a criminal investigation into the fertilizer plant explosion there last month that killed 14 people.
But officials declined to draw a link between the arrest of the paramedic, 31-year-old Bryce Reed, and the disaster.
"At this time authorities will not speculate whether the possession of the unregistered destructive device has any connection to the West fertilizer plant explosion," a statement from the U.S. attorney's office said.
Reed remains in custody in Waco, Tex., officials said, pending a detention hearing Wednesday. If convicted, Reed faces up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
According to the federal complaint, McLennan County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a residence in the nearby town of Abbott on Thursday, where they found "an assortment of bomb-making components" that the resident had "unwittingly" been given by Reed on April 26, nine days after the explosion.
The affidavit filed with the complaint said the components included a galvanized metal pipe, a hobby fuse, a lighter and several pounds of chemical powders — ingredients for a pipe bomb.
State and county officials did not mention Reed in announcing their investigation.
"The citizens of McLennan County and Texas must have confidence that this incident has been looked at from every angle and professionally handled — they deserve nothing less," McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said in a news release.

His speech he gave when he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2006. Why did he dislike his speech so much, what does he think he could have done to make the speech better: "I hated it. I wasn't out of my shell yet as far as public speaking. I was really nervous to get up and address all the things that happened with my brother Owen, me and Vince McMahon, so many things I had to talk about for the first time in front of a large crowd. I wished that I could have gone up and did it and done it over again like a second try. I just kinda rambled. I wish I could do it over again"
Speaking about his appearance at Wrestlemania 2 in 1986 where he participated in the 20 Man Over The Rope Battle Royal, this marked the first time he appeared at a Wrestlemania. What was the atmosphere like at Wrestlemania 2, also speaking about Andre The Giant's dislike of the NFL Football Players that participated in the match as well: "It was interesting. They always had something different then each one. The 3 cities, and the wrestlers watching the Pay Per View, I was in Chicago. What I always remember most was Andre and the battle royal. He (Andre The Giant ) really hated the football players. He didn't like any of them. He kinda made a point of being more friendlier with guys like me and Jim "The Anvil". He was always doing what he could to make us look good, which worked out of us"
The one and only guy he seriously injured in pro wrestling and how it happened: "At Survivor Series 1995), I took out the Spanish announcer (as he fell into their table), I blew his knee out with my head. They should have took him away in a ambulance, he was all messed up, in great pain. I feel terrible about it. I hurt that poor Spanish commentator. I always felt really bad about it he was a really nice guy. I think I really messed his knee up."

First woman elected to state legislature dies
On this day in 1966, Edith Wilmans, who in 1922 became the first woman elected to the Texas legislature, died in Dallas. Wilmans, born in Louisiana in 1882, moved to Dallas at an early age. She helped organize the Dallas Equal Suffrage Association and was president of the Democratic Women's Association of Texas. To learn more about the legal problems involved in improving the status of women and children, she studied law and in 1918 was admitted to the bar. She served only one term in the legislature, and in 1924 and 1926 she ran unsuccessfully for governor. In 1925 Governor Pat M. Neff appointed her to the All-Woman Supreme Court, but she was disqualified from serving because she lacked by a few months the required seven years' experience in the practice of law. She ran for the legislature again in 1935 but was defeated. She also ran for congress in 1948 and again in a 1951 special election but lost both races.

Ship Building & Repair: Reasons for ChangePrint Friendly Page
Why should ship building and repair operations implement pollution prevention (P2)?
Shipyards, because of their physical location, wide variety of process equipment and materials, and the outdoor nature of the work conducted at such a large scale, are especially prone to polluting the surrounding air, water and land. Shipyards have a broad range of P2 opportunities to reduce toxic and hazardous exposures and releases to air, land and water, and to save money and improve public image.
Environmental Impacts of Shipbuilding and Repair Operations
A description of the potential health and environmental effects of several key operations and processes in the shipyard industry make a case for investigating and implementing P2 opportunities and best management practices (BMPs):
Environmental Regulations and Compliance
This is a list of some of the environmental regulations that may apply to a shipyard's activities:
Cost Savings and Avoidance
Often, businesses only account for waste disposal costs rather than considering all of the associated costs of using toxic raw materials and polluting, energy or water-consuming processes, and inefficient technologies. Total cost accounting ensures that certain management, engineering, and overhead costs are tagged to cost considerations for environmental operations. Consider all potential cost and savings opportunities associated with improving environmental performance:
Public Relations and Marketing
Employing the best environmental practices and products is important for maintaining a good image with the public and stakeholders, as well as keeping customers and maintaining competitiveness.

The House of Representatives approved a new economic stimulus bill this May that could lead to thousands of dollars in rebates for homeowners who renovate their homes with better insulation and energy-saving windows and doors.
The so-called Home Star bill is a short-term program to create jobs, save energy, and lower families' energy bills. The bill, which passed 246 to 161, would authorize $5.7 billion over two years for a program that is expected to have the added benefits of invigorating the slumping construction industry and making the Earth a little cleaner.
Besides just adding insulation in the attic, ensuring that the existing recessed lights are covered with a light cover made out of fire resistant material such as the TENMAT FF130E and FF135 will further improve the energy efficiency and provide a safe, piece of mind solution.
It is widely know that any gaps in ceiling insulation dramatically reduce the overall performance of the insulation, typically insulation performance is reduced by 50% if only 5% of the ceiling area is not fully insulated. The use of TENMAT Recessed Light Covers allow the insulation to be continuous and uninterrupted over the whole area of the ceiling reducing air flow through the recessed light by 92% and saving energy.

One of the best parts about driving through Lancaster County is the gorgeous rolling hills and picturesque farms. Each farm has its own personality and roadside stands selling fresh produce and flowers abound. Now, imagine a leisurely bike ride through the small towns and green countryside of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Farmers are out in full-force planting fields, making repairs and working with livestock.
Whether you are in the area or looking for an excuse to come back to Lancaster, we have the perfect opportunity for you.
Every June the Lancaster Farmland Trust is hosts its annual Pedal to Preserve bike ride. It's a non-competitive, leisurely ride through iconic Lancaster countryside to benefit farmland preservation. You can choose between 6, 20, and 51-mile rides that offer breathtaking views of over 75 preserved family farms. Since it's non-competitive, riders can start anytime after 7:00 AM registration – which is great for those who want to beat the heat.
All riders begin and end at Garden Spot Village Retirement Community in New Holland, PA – just a few miles east of Lancaster City. Beginners, families, and experienced cyclists are all welcome at every age and ability level.
If we haven't convinced you, at the end of the ride you can enjoy fresh made-to-order omelets and Turkey Hill ice cream – for free!
Children under 12 ride free with an adult, so bring the whole family and spend the day in Lancaster County helping to preserve one of the most important parts of our history and culture here!

The death of a child is a special sorrow, a lifelong loss for surviving mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and other family members. Some children die after an extended illness; others die suddenly with no forewarning. No matter the circumstances, a child's death is a life-altering experience.
At best, the physicians, nurses, and others who care for a child who dies and for the surviving family will help all involved feel that they did everything they could, that the parents were good parents, that the child and family spent their time together—however limited—forging or reinforcing bonds of love. At worst, families live with memories of possibly needless suffering and with enduring regrets or doubts about their own choices. In between are experiences like that of Abby's family—experiences of good care alternating with unwittingly inflicted pain, of compassion mixed with insensitivity, of choices made and then doubted. Health care professionals may also feel anguished and unsure that they did what was best.
The goal of palliative, end-of-life, and bereavement care for children and their families is to provide them with the best care and support possible and to do so reliably and consistently, no matter how or where a child is cared for. Despite good intentions, that goal is too often not met. Omissions and missteps in care may not be recognized. If they are, health care professionals and organizations may not systematically learn from experience as Abby's and Jonathan's parents did.
Because children are resilient, because they are so cherished, and because advances in medicine and public health have greatly reduced child mortality in the United States, those caring for children with life-threatening medical problems are usually committed to pursuing all curative and life-prolonging options until death is at hand. This intensive but limited focus can expose children and families to unnecessary suffering, particularly if inadequate attention is paid to the potential burdens as well as benefits of these options and to children's physical and emotional distress.
A more comprehensive approach to care is needed. Regardless of the decisions made about curative or life-prolonging treatments, children with life-threatening medical problems and their families should have access to accurate information and excellent supportive care that offers physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort from the time of diagnosis through death and into bereavement—if death is the outcome. Good palliative care should benefit children who survive a life-threatening medical problem as well as those who do not—and should support the families of children in both groups. When they look back, families should feel that everyone did their best to help their child and family.
In recent years, health care professionals, policymakers, researchers, faith communities, and others have paid increasing attention to the needs of people approaching death and those close to them. Because approximately
