I really wanted to like this film, I really did. Something was off,
though. Was it the script? Perhaps, although I can't find a clear fault
in it. Some of the sophistication of the crimes and of the
investigative methods were clearly out of the era, but overall it was
OK. The production values were good, the direction was good, the acting
was good. The atmosphere was dark and claustrophobic as in Poe's
writing. Yet, I didn't quite find the enjoyment I was looking for.
The only thing I can think off was John Cusack. He and Alice Eve had no chemistry (and how can you not have it with Alice Eve?!) and the thing I had most trouble believing were not the way the criminal always barely escapes, not the story or the era or the feel of the movie, but that Cusack's character had any feelings at all. He seemed apathetic and occasionally angry. That was it. And that made the film, a good film overall, not be better than average.

Poe is a whiny character nobody will like. The crimes have nothing to do with the original stories. They are uninteresting. Oh look! A big razor! A raven! That's enough to call it a day, now let's make a crappy movie and make millions. The script makes no sense. Big holes. One moment Poe is surrounded by policemen, the other he is alone chasing an assassin. Why him? Then he gets shot and, does he look for cover? No, he just sit down, in total open space, and nobody kills him. But moments later he gets shot at again. And then explain please, why Verne? The idea should be that the killer recreates the killing as in the books (let alone it's not happening due to the general poorness of the movie). Why was Verne his next target?? What was the plan? Building a submarine? It's not even scary. Poe was scary as hell. Why should one be scared of being buried alive? Even a maiden in his dancing dress can break free with her bare hands, like any other trash action American movie. Don't waste your time. Authors of the movie should be ashamed of themselves.
Well, here was a misfire. THE RAVEN is another one of those films where
I should have listened to the critics. But, come on, the premise was
cool and it's not often that John Cusack disappoints. Plus it was
directed by James McTeigue, the man behind V FOR VENDETTA. How did this
turn out so poorly? I remember having read reviews for it but I never
actually seeing it arrive in theaters. I guess I know why now. I don't
know a whole lot about the life of Edgar Allan Poe but I do enjoy his
stories. This wasn't enough to find anything to love about the movie.
This is throwaway entertainment at best, though entertainment might be
too strong a word because I was pretty bored. The movie is a
mystery/thriller based around the details leading to Poe's mysterious
death in 1849. Poe is a penniless alcoholic scratching for booze money
from his apathetic editor who wants nothing more than another macabre
tale to capture his readers' attention (and money). Meanwhile, Poe is
courting the daughter of a powerful man with a hatred for the alcoholic
vagabond. When Baltimore is haunted by a serial killer who draws his
inspiration from Poe's tales, the author is approached by Detective
Fields to act as a consultant in hunting the murderer. Soon, the
investigation turns personal for Poe when his beloved Emily is taken
captive and they must work against the clock, following clues to find
her before she becomes the killer's final victim.
THE RAVEN is an obvious attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Guy Ritchie's SHERLOCK HOLMES franchise. It fails. Whereas Ritchie's movies are fun, exciting (if loose) adaptations of the source material, McTeigue's movie is boring and formulaic. It just drones on from one scene to the next, connecting the dots to a conclusion that I just didn't care about. I realized the reason a lot of the tension fizzles is because the movie continues to cut away from the investigation to Emily and her captivity. Maybe if we weren't constantly reminded that Emily is alive, there would've have been a bit of suspense as Poe and Fields race to save her life. "Will they save her? Will she die before they can stop the murderer? Oh wait, there she is. Nope, she's fine." Then there's the matter of the final reveal of the culprit. I'm not going to reveal their identity here for those out there who are interested in the movie, but I was pretty disappointed. To be honest, I didn't even recognize the person at first. I had to think back and remember if I'd seen them in the movie before that point. There are no clues or pieces for the audience to try and solve the case in their own minds, it's just: here's a bunch of brutal murders and here's the killer. Surprise! The murders themselves are mildly interesting, particularly the scene drawn from Poe's "Pit and the Pendulum". The violence loses some of its edge due to the shoddy CG that fills out the movie. Nothing looks genuine. In 2011, Roland Emmerich used CG to create expansive shots of Elizabethan era London for his film ANONYMOUS and it worked great, but McTeigue tries the same technique for 19th century Baltimore and it falls flat because it looks fake.
Speaking of fake, let's chat about the cast. I love Cusack but he was sorely miscast as Poe. From the very beginning, he never really disappeared into the character and always came off as John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe with a hint of Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes. As much as I enjoy Cusack, I'm not sure he's the right person for any sort of period piece. Throw him back in the hot tub time machine and let someone more appropriate tackle a role like Poe. Luke Evans is Poe's partner in the investigation, Detective Fields. Fields is a dull character with nothing defining about him with the exception that he's intelligent and all business. Good for him, but it doesn't make for the most exciting character. Alice Eve is beautiful as Emily and Brendan Gleeson is probably the best in the cast as Captain Hamilton, Emily's father and ardent Poe hater. Shallow characters in a shallow movie. That about sums up THE RAVEN. It's a forgettable experience that had a hard enough time capturing my attention while I was watching it. If you're looking for a thriller but don't really want to have to put any thought into the experience, THE RAVEN might be what you want.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
To be an author and to live your work must be a wonderfully surreal
experience. If you're someone like, say, J.K. Rowling, to walk through
a Hogwarts film set is a gift; it's the physical manifestation of your
imagination, come to life before your very eyes. The same, however, may
not be said if you're someone like Edgar Allan Poe.
And yet, live his work is precisely what Poe must do in the new drama The Raven. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), The Raven tells the fictitious account of the mysterious last days of famed writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. In the film, Poe (John Cusack) becomes the inspiration for a serial killer, one who draws upon even the minutest details of the writer's short stories to stage his killings. When a team headed by a Detective Fields (Luke Evans) begins to hunt the killer, Poe, the natural expert on the recurring murders, finds himself fighting for the woman he loves (Alice Eve) and challenged by a mastermind more disturbed than he.
To this day, no one really knows what caused Poe's death, or what, exactly, occurred in the last few days he was alive, and The Raven's attempt to answer those questions is, admittedly, quite creative. (I mean, what better way for the author of "The Tell-Tale Heart" to go than chasing a deranged murderer?) In fact, screenwriters Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare (ironically) attempt a tactic similar to that employed in 1998's romantic comedy Shakespeare in Loveboth films try to concoct clever scenarios that might lend some insight as to what actually inspired some of the world's literary geniuses. However, while The Raven tries to paint a thrilling picture of said events, try is really all it manages to do. Unlike Shakespeare, The Raven never succeeds in executing its tale with much intelligence; neither does it do so with wit, elegance, or much subtlety.
It's unfortunate that this film is bogged down by such a thinly-crafted script and rather messy direction because I found, and actually still find, the entire concept to be quite fascinating; then again, I've been intrigued by Poe for as long as I can remember. And considering who, and what, the movie is about, I found it to be more silly than scary; I mean, I'm pretty sure I laughed during scenes (and lines, especially) I probably wasn't supposed to, and found Poe's human heart-eating pet raccoon Carl far more amusing than I probably should have.

In 1849, in Baltimore, Edgar Allen Poe (John Cusack) is a penniless
writer with drinking problem that writes reviews in the Baltimore
Patriot. Emily Hamilton (Alice Eve) and he are in love but her father
Captain Charles Hamilton (Brendan Gleeson) despises him.
When a mother and her twelve year-old daughter are mysteriously murdered in a locked room, the efficient Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) finds a hidden spring in a window nailed shut that opens the window and he recalls an Allen Poe story. Then the writer Griswold (John Warnaby) that has criticized the stories of Poe is murdered in the same way of another gory story.
They find a scarlet mask in Griswold and Poe recalls another tale about another murder in a ball. Fields believes that the killer has inspired in Edgar Alen Poe's stories to commit his crimes and that Emily is in danger. Captain Hamilton does not call off the party and the criminal creates a diversion to kidnap Emily. Now Poe must participate in a game following the killer's instruction.
"The Raven" is a movie with a nice cinematography, but also with a boring story and unpleasant characters. The film is directed with heavy hand by James McTeigue that makes a movie without witty situations like, for example, in Sherlock Holmes films. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Corvo" ("The Raven")
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I'm not sure where all the good reviews are coming from, this was an
incredibly boring movie despite the gore.
Let's face it, if you've seen the recent sherlock holmes movies, this should be very familiar(they've even taken stock footage from those movies). The only difference is that the fact the detective character is a poet, and the killer is killing the same way as Poe's books and kidnapped his beloved, an extremely contrived way to get him to follow up on the case.
The real detective is useless, who serves no purpose other than to ask Holmes, sorry, Poe for help.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is a clever, well-made movie, but I think there are a couple of
things that stop it from being better than it is.
The story is not dissimilar to David Fincher's "Seven", in that case it was killings inspired by the seven deadly sins while in "The Raven", a serial killer creates gory scenarios based on the stories of Edgar Allen Poe.
Inspector Emmett Fields, played by Luke Evans, while investigating a bizarre double murder, realises that it has a connection to a story by Edgar Allen Poe. He engages the author to help him find the killer. Poe, played by John Cusack, is hesitant at first, but soon throws himself into the hunt, forming an alliance with Fields.
The killer's true intentions become a little clearer when Poe's Fiancée, Emily, played by Alice Eve, is kidnapped. Kept in a coffin, she is tormented by her captor. Eventually, Poe works out who the killer is, and strikes a deadly deal in exchange for Emily's life.
I think John Cusack struggles to find the right balance for Poe. Admittedly, he is more settled in the role by the end of the movie, but he knocks it off balance with some early drunk scenes with lots of yelling; actors portraying people who are drunk are almost as annoying as people who are drunk. His performance is uneven, especially in his affection for Emily he seems oddly unconvincing in some scenes although he says he would sacrifice his life for her. Luke Evans, with a far more understated performance, steals the show as Inspector Fields.
Visually brilliant, the film features ever more elaborate techniques to dispose of the killer's victims, The ingenuity and the amount of work involved would have required a crew the size of the one that built the Panama Canal, however, with a movie such as this, suspension of disbelief definitely helps with the enjoyment level.
For a while, I thought the identity of murderer was going to be either a disappointment or far too obvious, simply because not too many characters are introduced into the story; an unwritten rule of crime movies is that no one is introduced into a plot without reason. My fears were groundless; the ending works brilliantly, and is far more satisfying than is often the case.
Although "The Raven" has similarities to "Seven", it doesn't have the darkness or the hide-behind-your-finger's tension of that masterpiece of horror. With that said however, as serial killer movies go, "The Raven" is definitely a 'cut' above the average.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Oh dear. Much as a am a fan of John Cusak this is simply a terrible
movie. Sure it looks and sounds good in high definition . As others
have alluded to the director captures the whole Sleepy Hollow
atmosphere 100%. The only redeeming feature was the Cusak portrayal of
Poe. Down on his luck , his glory days behind him Poe is seen as a
belligerent and egotistical drunk.
The amalgamation of truth and fiction simply does not work. Everything is thrown into the mixer from Hammer horror , to Sherlock Holmes to even Saw. Afet the 40 minute mark my mind began to wonder. Even with its serial killer (emblazoned on a newspaper headline - pointed in one scene towards the camera, in case you were not following) copycatting Poes more famous death scenes plot, the affair is strangely tension free. The identity of the killer results in a shrug of the shoulders - oh its him . Who would have guessed? I was never engaged enough to even try to guess the killers identity. If Poes death is shrouded in mystery this certainly doesn't pretend to be a viable explanation.
So I saw the preview for the raven a month or so back and was intrigued by the premise of the film. I loved from hell so I thought that I might be able to relive some of that with this film. If you don't know the premise of the movie already then go somewhere else. With that being said, I felt that it was just blah. No groundbreaking stuff here literally your average serial killer mystery with poe stories to spice up killings and a deflated twist at the end. Quite frankly I feel that John Cusack has lost his touch and he looked very out of place when walking around the cheap set of London in the film, His name or face just doesn't hold the power that it used too and it shows due to this movie, Why was he cast in this film? it made no sense to me. I love the man, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't help but think that depp or downey could have dominated this film, cusacks attempt at being the funny eccentric writer/ detective that drinks too much was not convincing and I felt that he was predictable and boring as Poe. Is the movie unwatchable ? no , its entertaining if you don't want to think hard what so ever and your idea of a good time is watching a actor on the wrong side of 40 flailing around London trying to re enact the glory days of his once promising career. Unfortunaetly this movie is a hard one to justify to go see because there is just too many other films out there that are much much better. I'll end my review with this, there was 1 other couple in the theater when I saw it.
A killer is on the loose, a young detective joins forces with Edgar
Allan Poe to stop his writings becoming reality. The stakes become high
when Poe's partner is kidnapped and her life hangs in the balance.
Set in Baltimore, an underrated thriller mystery that needn't be compared to other period pieces including the likes of Sherlock Holmes (2009). This has its own legs and is more of a murder thriller than adventure. James McTeigue captures the ominous 1849 setting with dark and foggy cobbled streets reminiscent in tone of a Hammer films and Jack the Ripper tale - In Hell (2001). The setting and locations create a eerie backdrop, complimentary of Danny Ruhlmann's cinematography. There's no doubt, Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare's screenplay unfolds like a period piece CBS CSI special but it's a well filmed, entertaining and intriguing, strengthened by McTeigue's direction and Lucas Vidal's score.
Brendan Gleeson's acting abilities are very much underused as Captain Hamilton has he has very little screen time. Luke Evans' Detective Fields commands an on screen presence equal to that of the late Heath ledger. John Cusack gives his usual solid show, albeit he is more animated than usual as Edgar Allan Poe. Alice Eve is excellent, giving a convincing harrowing performance as the kidnapped and trapped Emily Hamilton.
Anyone familiar with the genre may see the killers identity well in advance. Nevertheless, The Raven is a creepy, solid old-school thriller with a fitting portrayal by Cusack.

An example would be to offer a premium package of your product or service to those customers that want to move ahead or above the crowd, an example is a night club offering a VIP room which in reality is just a space in the club roped off exclusive to the people and their guest renting this space for the evening,for an additional fee.(example for $400 you receive a bottle of premium vodka and you and your group are entitled to this space for the evening) the bottle is of course the only tangible in the offer but the VIP allows the user the status of exclusive,which I refer to as prestige in spite of the fact everyone is still using the same rest rooms and same dance floor VIP status is important to a certain group and they are willing to pay for it so as a business owner always provide this option as a premium pricing strategy.Using the seven triggers in your marketing the prestige trigger is a powerful attraction in the high price product market. example: A Rolls Royce says prestige the owner feels it people see it. Here are the 7 triggers
- Mystique
- Lust
- alarm
- prestige
- power
- vice
- trust
With content marketing and search engine optimization, how can your business stand out, front and center? Content marketing is information being passed to readers and having search engines find it . Sounds simple and easy; it is anything but like all good seo you need to do a little planning. The material offered must be relevant to the reader and have value with the end result being action. This action is a change in behavior; usually buying behavior. All of this takes place via an internet website.
This dissemination of information does not take place in a vacuum. Multitudes of information are on the internet, all vying for attention. How can one small business attract a response?
One of the ways is to begin with a content marketing plan is to decide what problems you want to help your readers solve. This will involve research and development which can be time consuming. But the results will be worth all the time and money spent.
What is your business selling? Before any content is written, you must determine what products and services are to be highlighted. Once this is established, then you can move on to the next step.
- Who is your audience? These are the people who will purchase your products and services. There are millions of users on the internet and not all are your target audience.
- Depending on what you are offering your audience size will vary. You may find an audience through Facebook Groups. If you are selling a retail product, Pinterest may offer an audience. Do your research and once the audience is found, write content specific to that audience.
Content comes in many forms. Always write for your readers and vary the form as much as your readers allow. Most businesses have something to teach, whether it is how to use a product or how a service can better your life. Have tutorials lined up for publishing, especially in the video format. Readers will enjoy seeing what your company has to offer.
Maybe your audience would prefer a how-to guide giving directions of how to use a product or the ways in which a service improves their lives.
Interviews bring reality to a business and a website. Readers like to hear and read about how people do things. Have interviews with industry leaders or employees who have developed a different method of making a product. Interviews with customers are also a great way of bonding with your audience. Interviews can be videos or written; or change up the format from time to time.
When writing content, have some material that can be used over and over, evergreen. Other material should include news, industry and company events, and anything pertinent to your business and customers.
Write for your readers. Before beginning an article, ask yourself, will the audience enjoy this information? You may be giving directions, but try to add humor. Write content in a conversational tone, you want your readers to feel like they are talking with you.
Make a plan for changing content. It is not so important how often you change articles, but that you do in on a schedule. Change every week, month, or two weeks – just stick to your schedule. Also quantity is not as important as quality. You could change content every three days, but if that content is not relevant it does no good to change it.
In developing a content plan, the main objective is to think about your audience. Give your readers relevant content in a conversational tone with spurts of humor and this will bring more people to your website which in it self is good seo.
- A Stop them in their tracks Headline(you have three seconds to grab someones attention)
- An irresistible tangible offer key word tangible something they can put to use now.
- Call to action,if there is no call to action why would they buy now?
small business marketingis done without much thought, owners spend very limited amount of time with their marketing strategies, marketing is an after thought val pack person calls and they place an order,marketing done. This is not a commentary on small business owners and how they do their marketing or advertising, it's about how to get the customers calling you so you stop complaining about the economy and begging for more business. Spent a few hours today at a local networking group called meet up, there are literally thousands of sub groups of meet ups around the country,all are very different this one is run by Marlee Ward, Orlando Self-Employed Superstars: Marlee does a great job as the groups organizer very bright understands marketing and practices what she preaches. The one big thing that rings out loud with these groups is everyone is seeking an answer just tell me the secret and I am out of here,or they are selling their products with no regard to whether or not you need the service or product,small business marketing is more than just handing out lots of business cards, almost all will end up in a can under the desk no real reason to keep them unless your looking for that thing or service today,even then why buy their product over someone else s it's not like you know them or anything.
Small business marketing
- Small business marketing is building your list of prospects
- You the business owner can control your messages to your prospect
- You send the message
- You control how they get the message
- Attention grabbing head line
- Irresistible tangible offer
- Have a lead generating web site
- A follow up system
attention grabbing headline: Sam's Steak House is giving away $30,ooo.in steaksAn irresistible tangible offer may sound like this: free steak dinner first 100 people Everyone that shows up for the event is required to give their contact info...e-mail and home address along with any personal info for birthdays, specials events.Now this becomes your list that you can start building a relationship.It's not the economy as much as it is how you get peoples attention and follow up.The offer has to be tangible and it has to stop them in their tracks 5 or 6 words.Your list is the core to your business and the bigger the list the more people you can build relationships with, create special e-mail offers, tips,videos send but don't send shit people will unsubscribe from your list if all you do is spam them regularly.Keeping the conversation going,the follow up system is critical I recommend Aweber,highest deliver ability in the industry if your e-mail does not reach its intended destination it just as well you did not send it . Personality in your e-mails whats going on in the business new products,employees,location changing make the conversation you would enjoy being part of if you were receiving these e-mails all the time,lets face it everyone is busy and no one has time to listen to nothing but a sales pitch so be smart and bring value your customer will reward you they will buy from you,it's not the economy stop begging for business small business marketing is not rocket science just good common sense or maybe it is rocket science depends on who you ask. This is it I am out let me know if you have questions... Pete

After reading reviews about this hotel we were apprehensive about our stay there. We were pleasantly surprised to find our stay even better than some of other hotels where we have stayed before. We booked a king bed studio. We found the room spotless, towels fresh and a small kitchen which was sufficient. This hotel is close to Miltipas Square... More
I was expecting a hotel room (I didn't make the reservation myself), but reached a room which is more of motel-style, which was a bit disappointing. There is kitchenette in the room (microwave, full fridge, sink), but no utensils at all. I requested a coffee maker and received one along with some disposable coffee cups. I stayed for 5 days...

Other review is true, the towel very very dirty, many insect around, only house keep once per week (it even missed during my stay), extremely slow wifi...... one of my friend even got a room that is not house keep yet (from the previous stay)
I agree with many of the reviews. Don't bother. Room is not well maintained (looks like water damage), not very clean, and staff won't remediate issues. Made a reservation in my company system for a non-smoking king and got a smoking queen. When I inquired with Firas, General Manager, he told me those were "requests". He insisted this was a... More

I arrived here only a couple of hours ago. I read the reviews and have to wonder if they were by people who actually did stay. I had to change rooms and wish I hadn't bothered.

We will review our cleaning procedures with our housekeeping staff and will have the rooms inspected prior to our guest's arrival. We will also contact our pest control... More

Under Burton S. Sperber's leadership, a tiny nursery with three workers grew to more than 100 locations around the world with 10,000 employees and $1 billion in annual revenue.
The gig: Head gardener and founder of Calabasas-based ValleyCrest Landscape Cos., the nation's largest landscape services company. At 81, Sperber no longer heads the company he founded as a teenager – he handed that responsibility to son Richard several years ago – but under his leadership, a tiny nursery with three workers grew to more than 100 locations around the world with 10,000 employees and $1 billion in annual revenue. ValleyCrest has worked on projects including the gardens at the Getty Center and Disney's Animal Kingdom and California Adventure theme parks. It counts resort developer Steve Wynn, real estate mogul Donald Bren and shopping mall magnate Rick Caruso among its key customers.
ValleyCrest's roots: Sperber became interested in horticulture early in life. His father owned a retail nursery, and he was a member of the Future Farmers of America in high school. When Sperber was a teenager, he worked after school at MG Nursery in North Hollywood, which was owned and run by Italian nurseryman Mossimo Giannulli.
"He took me under his arm and taught me the landscape business," Sperber said.
When Giannulli died, his widow offered the business to Sperber for $700. Sperber bought the nursery with his father in 1949.
Greener on this side: Sperber renamed the company ValleyCrest because of its San Fernando Valley roots but also because the Sperbers were aiming for the top, thus "Crest," he said.
It was steady growth over decades that turned ValleyCrest into the nation's largest landscape company, not sudden expansion or acquisitions, Sperber said. It has grown on average about 15 percent a year. The steady growth has allowed the company to keep its small-roots character.
"There's no difference," he said. "It's just a little bigger."

Public Hearing in New York Today for Reform of the Ivory Trade
The New York State Assembly Standing Committee on Environmental Conservation is hosting a public hearing today on ways to reform the state's restrictions on ivory sales.
You might not guess the ivory necklaces sold at jewelry kiosks around Manhattan came from brutally murdered elephants.
John Calvelli will be attending the event with the Wildlife Conservation Society. He says current regulations allow for the sale of ivory acquired before 1989 because they are considered antiques. He says these regulations are not enough.

Adriano Zumbo to open fifth Sydney patisserie in Waverley
- From: News Corp Australia newspapers
- July 18, 2012
ADRIANO Zumbo will open his fifth Sydney patisserie after buying a bakery from a retiring master baker at Waverley.
Patissier extraordinaire Adriano Zumbo has bought a cake shop in Waverley off a retiring master baker.
The shop-front premises White's Cakes was sold to Zumbo through Mcgrath agent Edward Reid recently for an undisclosed sum believed to be more than the $1.6 million plus price guide.
WENTWORTH COURIER: Read what the locals had to say about the sale
White's Cakes has been run by a master baker Paul Helmrich for the past 30 years and is an institution to many locals in the area.
"It's really lovely the way it's worked out for everyone,'' said a local cake lover, who preferred not to be named.
"Just like a family recipe it's being handed down from one pastry chef to another.''
Zumbo is well know in the pastry business - earning the nickname 'Patissier of Pain' after giving MasterChef contestants culinary challenges like his macaroon tower and V8 cake.
But while creations such as these have contestants, especially in elimination rounds, quivering in their aprons, they're sure to be sweet with local children.
WENTWORTH COURIER: Read what the locals had to say about the sale
The Arden St bakery was scheduled for auction on June 23 and sold on the day. It was advertised as a comfortable family home with a mixed use commercial shop front that included four bedrooms with a three-car lockup garage. The property last sold in 1983 for $105,000.
It will be Zumbo's fifth patisserie with the others at Pyrmont, Balmain, Manly and Rozelle.

The Diocese of Swaziland is a diocese in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. The diocese was founded in 1968. It comprises the country of Swaziland. It is divided in three archdeaconries, Eastern Swaziland, Southern Swaziland and Western Swaziland.
The Anglican Diocese of Swaziland was created in 1968, shortly after the independence of Swaziland and had Anthony Hunter as their first bishop, from 1968 to 1975.[1]
The Anglican Diocese of Swaziland is twinned with the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa (Iowa, USA) and with the Episcopal Diocese of Brechin (Scotland).
Bishops of the diocese[edit]
- Anthony George Weaver Hunter 1968-1975
- Bernard Lazarus Nyoni Mkhabela 1975-1993
- Lawrence Bekisisa Zulu 1993-2000
- Meshack Boy Mabuza[a] 2002-2012
- Ellinah Wamukoya[b] 2012-present
- ^ Mabuza was very critical of the authoritarian rule of Swazi king Mswati III, calling for democratic reforms.[citation needed]
- ^ On 18 July 2012, Wamukoya, aged 61 years old, was elected bishop, becoming the first woman in the Anglican Church of South Africa to be elected to this office.[2] She was consecrated on 17 November 2012 by Thabo Makgoba, Archbishop of Cape Town.[3]

Additional Information on Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
From the valleys of California and Chile to the rolling hillsides of the Bordeaux region of France, the one red wine grape varietal you will find in abundance is the Cabernet Sauvignon. This darkly colored grape has been cultivated since the mid 18th century, when it was borne from a cross of fine Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc varietals. Since then, it has spread around the world and has been received with pleasure by wineries looking for a varietal which delivers excellence of flavor and aroma, whilst being hardy enough to resist frost and rot and other such difficulties. Indeed, Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the most recognizable red wine grape varietal on earth, and is easily distinguished by its high tannin level and acidic nature, which is often so beautifully mellowed by being blended with Merlot and other such grapes.
Region: California
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Country: United States
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
Appellation: Napa Valley
When it comes to New World wines, and especially wines from the United States of America, Napa Valley is something of a standard bearer. Over its relatively short history, it has managed to transform itself from being a fairly insignificant region, to becoming one of the most important and highly regarding wine locations on earth. With an ideal climate for viticulture, blazing sunshine and a low level of rainfall, this valley is shielded on many sides by mountain ranges which help it maintain a consistent level of heat, light and moisture throughout the year. Today, Napa Valley is a home of innovation and quality, with dozens of grape varietals thriving in the fertile soils. However, the main varietals grown there have always been Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, and the wines they produce are constantly lauded by critics and competitions across the globe.
