Tres Palacios
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: Merlot
Today, Merlot is generally believed to be one of the most popular and widely planted grape varietals in the world, with expert estimates putting it just behind Cabernet Sauvignon in the top three most planted vines. Ask any winery anywhere between France and Argentina, and they'll tell you it is due to the grapes reliability, fantastic range of flavors and unique properties. Single variety Merlot wines are especially popular with companies wishing to target newcomers to the world of red wine, due to the fact that as Merlot has a low tannin content, and relatively little malic acid, the wines it produces are fleshy, well rounded and firmly in the 'medium body' category. This essentially means that they are extremely drinkable, full of lovely jammy fruit flavors and rich, pleasing aromas. That isn't to say that Merlot is only for beginners, though, as this grape is also one of the key varietals for producing some of the most highly respected, complex and perfectly balanced wines in the world.
Region: Valle Central
Chile is a fascinating country when it comes to wines and viticulture, and by far the most internationally renowned wine region in the country is the Valle Central. This expansive valley is located close to the Chilean capital of Santiago, and stretches between the Maipo Valley and Maule Valley, a long, winding fault through the mountainous regions of the country which is now almost completely covered by vineyards producing wines of exquisite character. The region itself may well be associated with the 'New World' of wines, but in actual fact, vineyards have been cultivated around the Maipo valley since the 16th century, when settlers from Europe brought vines across the ocean with which to make sacramental wines. A wide range of grape varietals thrive in the hot climate of Valle Central, from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines the country is most famous for, to Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenere.
Country: Chile
When the wealthy new landowners of the 19th century began planting large vineyards in the fertile central valleys of Chile, they must have been impressed at how successful the imported Old World grape varietals took to the land. However, such a fact is hardly surprising; with eight months of blazing sunshine coupled with oceanic winds from the west, and crystal clear spring waters from the Andes irrigating the soil, grapes such as Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were given everything they needed to flourish, and more. As the centuries passed, Chilean wineries continued to expand and experiment, resulting in a wide range of wine production methods and techniques, and consistently producing fine quality wines perfect for the international market. Nowadays, Chile is renowned for producing a wide variety of crisp white wines, and juicy, fruity reds enjoyed around the world for their drinkability and flavorful character, making this country very much one of the 'New World', albeit one with a fascinating link to the Old.

Leafs coach Carlyle challenges Reimer to be better
As critics pile on Dion Phaneuf for gaffe that led to Game 4 loss, Randy Carlyle never fails to mention the short-side goal in OT by David Krejci.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Most of the season, Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle has kept to the same message when it comes to his goaltenders.
All any coach can ask for, he would always say, was for his goalies to give the team a chance to win.
For most of the year, James Reimer has done just that. And when you go into overtime in Game 4 of the playoffs, you can argue that Reimer gave his Maple Leafs a chance to even this series against the Bruins.
But David Krejci's overtime winner went short side. No coach likes that. Any time anybody brought up Dion Phaneuf's pinch in overtime that set up the winning play, Carlyle never failed to mention the short-side goal, adding:
"You always want your goalie to steal a game if he can," said the coach.
Reimer is the best Leaf goalie since the likes of Ed Belfour and Curtis Joseph. The Leafs were regular participants in the post-season party with those two. Both are beloved because of their penchant for the timely save that contributed to stolen victories.
At times in the regular season, Reimer has stolen wins. Maybe it's just that the game has changed since Belfour last manned the Leafs crease. Shooters have better sticks and shoot harder. Forwards crash the net more. The science on where to beat goalies is better.
"Yeah, you'd like a guy to stand on his head," said backup Ben Scrivens. "But I think James has done that. I think Game 1 could have been a lot worse. I thought that was one of his best games.
"You can play well and the results don't go for you. You've got to be more of a realist. It's not all wishful thinking and perfect scenarios."
Carlyle is not a wishful thinker, but challenging his goalie to be better is no different than challenging his skaters to be better, something he's done all playoffs. He knows his Maple Leafs have a tough road ahead.
With the Leafs facing elimination, the margin of error is zero.
"Everything becomes more difficult, but it's not the end of the world," said Carlyle. "We've created more than people would have thought we would have been able to. We need more traffic to the net. We need a timely goal. We need more.
"You can play as well as we played and not had success, is it going to be discouraging? I can't tell you it's going to be discouraging (Friday) night, because I don't focus on that. I focus on getting our group to doing it again and to do it on a higher level. And find a way."
To force a Game 6 in Toronto, Carlyle has to find a way for his team to support Reimer a bit better. Reimer has been busy. Boston is averaging 41 shots a game — tops in the playoffs. (The Leafs are second, at 36.8.)
"I thought he played a solid game," Scrivens said. "They scored some high quality goals. He gave us a chance to win. That's what we should be focusing on … the positives. He gave us a chance. We hit a post in overtime. We had a number of solid chances.
"They got kind of a lucky flubbed shot. Those are the types of goals you have to score in the playoffs. They were able to find a way and we weren't."
The Leafs did well in the regular season when outshot. But they typically weren't giving up too many scoring chances. Boston is getting all kinds of scoring chances.
"The number of quality chances he's had to face, we have to cut those down," said Carlyle.
And the Leafs have to find a way to stop the line of Krejci, Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton, a line that's combined for 22 points in this series.
They'll have to do that without one of their most physical defencemen. Mark Fraser did not make the trip to Boston after having surgery to repair bones near his eyes that were smashed by a Lucic shot in the third period of Game 4.
Jesse Blacker was called up on an emergency basis and John Michael Liles will most likely draw in to the lineup. The Leafs defencemen say they can find a way to stop the Bruins' top line.
"Good body position. Smart plays," said Liles. "It's tough to contain when you have guys that size, that strength, the speed they have. It's a matter of just making sure you're getting good body position, coming off the boards first, reading the play, reading where they want to be and hopefully get in their way.
"You're always trying to move the puck quickly, counter that size with more speed. They're big players that move well and skate well. It's not always easy."
Liles is smaller, quicker and more of a puck-mover than the bruising Fraser. That could be a liability in what has been a physical series. The Leafs and Bruins have combined for 365 hits, second only to the L.A.-St. Louis series (406) that has already played its fifth game.
"They're not dancing with one another, if you know what I mean," said Carlyle. "It's a man's game. Playoff hockey. That's what you expect."

Zhu named 2012 AAAS Fellow
November 29th, 2012
Dr. Yuntian T. Zhu, Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University, has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Zhu was recognized by AAAS for "pioneering and innovative work on nanotechnology development and fundamental science of nanomaterials." AAAS elects Fellows from among its membership to recognize scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. Zhu will be among 702 new AAAS Fellows honored in February at the 2013 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston, Mass.
Zhu and his research group have made significant advances in the fields of nanostructured materials and carbon nanotubes with applications in everything from airplanes to bicycles. These advances include the recent development of strategies tosimultaneously increase the strength and ductility - or stretchability - of nanostructured metals and alloys, a significant breakthrough because previous attempts to improve ductility have sacrificed the strength. The group has also synthesized four-centimeter-long carbon nanotubes and fabricated super strong and stiff carbon nanotube fibers and composites.
Zhu's work has earned him two Nano 50 Awards and the rank of Fellow in the ASM International and the American Physical Society. He received his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994 and joined the NC State faculty in 2007.
AAAS is the world's largest general scientific society and the publisher of Scienceand other journals. The organization was founded in 1848 and includes 261 affiliated societies and academies of science serving 10 million people. AAAS has been naming Fellows since 1874.

Her family's record of community volunteerism gives Mallory an excellent perspective on the very real ways that the proposed generator would improve the ability of responders to serve others in emergency circumstances. Well done, Mallory!

Recent Philipsburg reviews
"This is a must if you are looking for a comfortable, feel at home, spacious, and a place that has it all. We traveled from Indiana and Wisconsin to meet up as a family for a little get away and a visit with our niece who is working at a near by ranch. The cabin is more than what we expected. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay an absolute wonderful experience. It really is a piece of heaven at the cabin and all around. The surrounding areas are breathtaking as well as the very own creek that runs right in the back yard. Are stay was almost a week, but we all could have stayed much longer :) Thank you for allowing us to share your special place."Guest: Michele K.

"Three of my friends and I just wanted to get away from work, dishes, laundry, and our 'stuff'; so we rented this little cottage for a couple nights. We felt at home the moment we walked in. It was clean, comfortable, and practically furnished and supplied. The view was great, and the air fresh and inviting. We looked the town over, drove around to see all the old houses, and let our imaginations run. We laughed because some of the things in the antique stores were still in use in our own homes. When the air got cool at night, we turned on the stove and ate our candy from the Sweet Palace. We wrapped up in blankets, sat on the porch, watched the moon come up and listened to the dog barking in the distance. The only problem we had was...... we didn't want to go home. So, we called Bob and Nancy and asked if we could stay another night. They laughed and said 'Yes.' (We had to bribe our husbands by promising them fudge from the candy store) I've been doing rentals for almost 15 years, and I've met a lot of owners. These people were the easiest to work with that I've met. We will be going back when we can get away again.

It's enough to drive you mad
A new report links mental illness with pressure at work. But we're far too willing to blame stress for everything that ails us
Ronald Reagan once said: "It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure why take the chance?" For him the presidency was a laid-back, high-roller game. In retirement, he was felled by Alzheimer's disease; but as president, he may have been wiser than he's given credit for. Last week the British mental health charity, Mind, published a report in which "work stress" was given as the commonest perceived cause of mental illness.
Ronald Reagan once said: "It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure why take the chance?" For him the presidency was a laid-back, high-roller game. In retirement, he was felled by Alzheimer's disease; but as president, he may have been wiser than he's given credit for. Last week the British mental health charity, Mind, published a report in which "work stress" was given as the commonest perceived cause of mental illness.
But this immediately raises as many questions as it answers. Was it really work that caused the trouble? Or were there much deeper roots? Was the wrong person in the wrong job? Think back beyond Reagan to Richard Nixon. In Anthony Summers's scathing new biography, The Arrogance of Power, Nixon is shown as perceiving the presidency to be an all-consuming, obsessive occupation. He ended up barely sane. He'd longed for this stratospheric job all his life. But you could argue he should never have had it.
The Institute for Employment Studies at Sussex University is studying "psycho-social hazards" for the Government's Health and Safety Executive. Jo Rick, principal research fellow at the institute, points out that "stress is a vague and poorly defined concept". The list of factors that cause the things you might feel good about could apparently be almost the same list as those that cause the things you feel bad about.
One person's high excitement is another person's cause of bottomless anxiety. In Employment and Health (British Library, £38), Jennie Grimshaw dispassionately reviews all the research into stress at work: everything from burn-out to bullying. She separates individuals into "type A" and "type B." Type As are impatient and competitive; love long hours and taking work home at weekends; and drive themselves "to meet high, often unrealistic standards". Type Bs take life as it comes. Nixon (or Al Gore) sounds like a classic type A; Reagan (or George Bush junior) a classic type B.
In Britain, some things are certain about the demands of work. The much-predicted Age of Leisure has not arrived. We work longer hours than any other employees in the European Union. Men in full-time work average almost 46 hours a week, and women almost 41 hours. In Belgium, at the other end of the scale, men work about 39 hours, and women fewer than 38. Germans are nearer to the Belgians than to the Brits.
Two years ago, the European working times directive became law in Britain. Employers couldn't have people working more than 48 hours a week - unless those employees wished to. This proviso provides a pretty broad loophole. So does the fact that some sectors are exempt, such as transport. The growing army of the self-employed isn't covered by the regulations. Nor is it easy to pin down the working hours of the multitude of part-timers, many of them taking on more than one job.
Productivity studies, comparing Britain and Germany, have often shown the British working longer for less output. The Employment Studies Institute reckons it's partly that Britain has "a long-hours culture". But it's never been easy to pin down the productivity blame. When the British are given a brand-new plant to work in - as at the Toyota plant in Derbyshire or the Nissan plant on Wearside - they are as productive as anyone else.
What is hard to ascertain is whether they are under any less stress in their newer workplaces. When I went on a visit to the Toyota plant, with its gaggle of robots, pecking at the car bodies like metallic geese, it was the attitude of the people working there that most intrigued me. There were, of course, very few of them by comparison with a traditional industrial plant. There were also, everywhere and all the time, slogans that encouraged consultation and teamwork.
As one man told me, it was the kind of job that required a certain kind of person. You had to accept the ethos of the plant almost as devoutly as if you went to church. Bolshieness was absolutely out. Computer control at the workplace cuts out an entire layer of management. Instead of the foreman walking around with his "spec" sheet, the production director is in immediate touch with the shopfloor. He can see on his own computer screen exactly what each man is doing right or wrong. You could have an argy-bargy with the foreman. You can't have a row with a computer screen.
Once upon a time, work in service jobs was much harder to check on than in industry. A clerk was less glamorous than a miner, but he had more freedom. Now, as the Industrial Society has noted, a call centre is the ultimate in management control. The productivity of those who answer the customers is as fiercely driven by precise timings as Henry Ford's assembly line. Leftist economic analysts have a passion for asserting that we have entered a "post-Fordist" world. They should be forced to take a job at a credit card call centre, where every transaction can be overheard at will by senior managers and timed to the split second.
Research shows that a lack of autonomy - having to dance to the boss's tune - can bring acute unhappiness. Stress at work changes in form. It does not go away. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," God told Adam as he expelled him from Eden. The curse endures, even if it may now be updated: "At risk of repetitive strain injury shalt thou snack on virtually fat-free cottage cheese."
But we must be very careful how much we blame on stress. The Victorians attributed many illnesses to moral failings. Before the discovery of the Koch bacillus, tuberculosis was a classic example. Consider the operatic heroines, with dubious pasts, whom it slew: Verdi's Violetta and Puccini's Mimi. We must beware falling into a modern version of the same trap. "Stress" can be a pseudoexplanation that too readily falls from our lips. Jennie Grimshaw warns that much of the research into cause and effect is flawed. Does a row at home make you see your job as more stressful? Or is it the job that's causing the family row in the first place? Or some elaborate interplay between the two?
The cautionary tale of the peptic ulcer should be pinned up, with appropriately cheery illustrations, as a wall-poster in the offices of all those preoccupied by the problems of "stress". For decades, this ulcer was thought to be the archetype of a stress-related disease. The explanations became ever more complex. At the Tavistock Clinic in London, Dr Elsa Goldberg found that the mothers of ulcer sufferers were "striving, dominant and obsessional in the house", and their fathers were "steady, unassertive and passive". (Sometimes, you just can't win, can you?) But in 1983 Bruce Marshall, a young Australian doctor, discovered a new "curved bacillus" in the linings of stomachs. This was helicobacter pylori. It wasn't "stress" or parental failure that caused the ulcers. It was an infection. Antibiotics cured it.
