Down in Tacoma's gulches, you're in another world – a wild one. Deep ravines sandwiched between residential streets, fed by springs flowing to Puget Sound, the gulches are filled with tangled forests and moss, with deer, coyote and birdsong. Thanks to 150 years of urban settlement, you'll also find trash and sewer lines, blackberries and ivy, drug users and the homeless – as well as trails and restored habitat.
Some people want to tame Tacoma's gulches, with city plans on the table to restore Garfield and Mason. Some property owners intend to develop there. But other Tacomans want them gulches kept wild – or just don't know about them. Each gulch tells its own story – if you start to explore.
"Tacoma's gulches are a unique combination of soil, water and erosion," explains Michael Sullivan, an architectural historian who lives near the eastern finger of Buckley gulch. "It's like Eden in there."
Gulches, sometimes called gullies or ravines, are narrow, deep chasms. Deepened by glacial retreat, Puget Sound's gulches were shaped by the many springs and streams that ran through them to the Sound. With forest and salmon creeks, many were food sources to local tribes and early settlers.
Inside the gulch (scroll to read on)
They also made a perfect site for logging companies, which could cut the trees, send them down to the mouth to a sawmill powered by stream-water steam, and float them out on the tide to waiting ships. Some, like Gallagher's Gulch downtown, made perfect routes for trains and cars, or were filled in for development.
Meanwhile houses grew up around the edges of the gulches, with invasive yard plants like ivy and blackberry cascading down to further disrupt gulch ecology. Steep and hard to maintain, the gulches became places to hide for transients, prostitutes, drug users and criminals.
Yet Tacoma's gulches remain wild green spaces in the heart of the city – and that's where the disagreement comes on what to do with them. Over the last 20 years citizen volunteers, non-profit environmental groups, Metro Parks and the city – which owns most of Puget, Garfield and Mason gulches – have collaborated to restore gulches such as Puget and Julia's Gulch, clearing invasives, planting natives, creating open trails and monitoring wildlife. It's the kind of turn-around that supporters say reduces crime and increases important habitat for birds, deer, salmon, coyote and more.
"When you see people jogging alone or walking with strollers and dogs you know you are on the right track," says Steve Hale, who lives between Buckley and Garfield gulches, runs the Old Town neighborhood block watch and volunteers at the local police substation. "I have no doubt that some of our petty and not so petty crime is committed by people who use the open spaces as cover and concealment."
But community liaison police officer Jennifer Terhaar isn't as convinced: "We've not had any reports of people hiding there to plan criminal activities," she says.
Puget Gulch is, in fact, the inspiration for current city plans for at least two other gulches. A 2012 sewer rate increase has given the city's Environmental Services division an extra $300,000 a year; they'll pay Metro Parks $200,000 to create management plans for Tacoma's green spaces, including Garfield and Mason gulches. The first stage – community talks about Schuster Slope, which includes Garfield – has already begun.
"The long-term goal is turning open spaces into useful areas to improve stormwater quality and to give people access," says Mike Slevin, the city's environmental services manager. "We want the trail restored and the space used to its full potential."
But not all locals want the same thing. Some want privacy, not a hiking trail. Others contend making trails accessible just increases the homeless population, which the city clears out from most gulches every few months.
"I wouldn't want a trail – I'd like to leave it as it is," says Bill Blazak, who lives on Buckley gulch and has reported numerous homeless encampments under the 21st Street bridge. "If you open a trail you just make it easy for those kind of people to use it."
Some think more people using the gulches will hurt wildlife like deer and overwintering birds.
"I don't want people down there," says Rick Rosenblatt, who owns a large chunk of Buckley with his siblings. "It's for the critters."
The other big problem is that not all the gulches are public property. Over half of Buckley Gulch, from North 17th Street down beneath Prospect Hill, is in private hands – and for each owner, there's another opinion on what the gulch needs. Some grew up playing there and want the same for their own kids. Others, like Jeffrey McInnis on West Road, intend to build houses in them.
"The more people...living in there, (the more) it'll improve," says McInnis.
About the only thing everyone agrees on about Tacoma's gulches is that they're beautiful.
"They're little gems," Slevin says.
Deep down, far removed from everyday life, they're a little bit of wilderness still here inside a city: cool, green places where you can pick salmonberries or explore boggy streams.
Many cities – Seattle among them – have filled their gulches. Tacoma's remain. The quesiton is what to do with them.
"Tacoma's gulches are a hidden wilderness that is going to waste, and threatened," says Robert Girvin, Garfield's habitat steward. "Green spaces are proven to be essential for...quality of life."
Renee Paine, who lives on the edge of Buckley Gulch, agrees: "It's a beautiful place that makes Tacoma livable," she says.

According to the Massachusetts Division of Insurance (DOI) if you are determined at fault in the accident for an accident, you are sent a Surcharge Notice. It appears that you took action by appealing the surcharge notice with the Board of Appeals at the DOI.
Since you disagreed with your insurer's surcharge determination and believed you were 50% or less at fault for the accident, you had a hearing regarding the incident and apparently won. So according to the DOI site if you win the appeal, you will receive a refund or credit from your insurer for any excess premium you have paid due to the surcharge.
The DOI does not mention if you will be reimbursed for expenses due to how the claim was originally processed by your insurance company. Nor does it say that the insurance company must reverse their decision regarding fault, it states only that the insurance surcharge points will not be placed on your driving record now.
You will need to contact your insurer to find out how winning the appeal of the surcharge now affects the original claim. It might be that your insurance company can now subrogate with the other party's insurance to be reimbursed for the monies they paid out. If so you might be reimbursed for your deductible and rental car expenses.
If appealing the surcharge does not change how your claim was originally placed you may not be able to receive back money. Beyond checking with your insurance agent on this matter you can also contact the Consumer Services of the Massachusetts Division of Insurance for information.

As a fan of Mr. Piskor's work I made an interactive page based on the family tree to show more clearly the links between folks and when they came into the stories.
It's missing a couple of the more recent folks but some may find it a neat way to browse through the archives.
That is awesome!
I remember it from when you posted it in the Ed Piskor interview's thread. great work! based on his reaction then, I thought that it would get integrated into the HHFT posts, but it never happened.
what gives, Ed? it makes browsing the strip much more intuitive than "prev/index/next"
I'm flattered by your enthusiasm but I think the web design is more BoingBoing's ballywick than Mr. Piskor's. I'm lucky both he and they have been supportive of my page in the past – something I don't think they're obligated to do – so let's keep things positive. :) Thanks for the kind words, though!
Yeah, I'm definitely stoked on the interactive family tree too. For my part, I take 7 days a week to put these strips together so I leave the tech stuff to the editors.
yeah, sorry–I don't really know anything about web dev but I never thought you were coding the pages or whatever. didn't mean to imply that. I just hoped Elijah's thing could be passed on to the staff who builds the page at BB.

is what the game needs
- Zemek: The time problem at
South Carolina

By Matt Zemek
As the end of the Auburn-South Carolina
showed, it's time to change the way we talk about in-bounds first downs in college football.
As long as I've followed college football – the first game I can remember watching as a kid was the 1981 Gator Bowl between Arkansas and North Carolina – I've thought that the clock stops after a first down gained on a play that ended in bounds. Five years ago, I did some research on the subject – research that should have changed my vocabulary – but I really didn't stop to reconsider.
Now we should know better.
From now on, college football commentators cannot accurately say that the clock stops precisely when a first down is gained in bounds. No, the clock stops when the officials are good and ready to blow the play dead following a first down gained in bounds. The officiating mechanics displayed in the final seconds of Auburn-South Carolina were not irregular.
Five years ago – on October 16, 2006 – the subject of endgame clock management by officials was a popular topic. In prior weeks, two games – Washington at USC and Kentucky at Florida – had endgame (or end-of-half) situations marred by controversies that arose from the ways in which officials administered situations following first downs gained in bounds, and without the timeouts needed to freeze the clock for the next play.
It's not irregular for a few seconds to drain from the clock after the end of a first down-gaining play that stays in bounds. In just 54 minutes of watching just one monitor and wearing out just one remote control, all of these multi-second time lags were uncovered:
Instances of two-second time lags were as follows: Wisconsin first down vs. Minnesota at 9:19, first quarter (play ended at 9:21); Syracuse first down vs. West Virginia at 5:40, first quarter (play ended at 5:42); Iowa vs. Indiana, 3:51, 1st (3:53); West Virginia vs. Syracuse, 13:07, 2nd (13:09); N.C. State vs. Wake Forest, 10:49, 2nd (10:51).
But wait, it just gets better. The three-second time lags like the one that hurt Washington against USC (from five seconds to two)--and made aghast national commentators apoplectic with righteous indignation--were in evidence in the first 54 minutes of a columnist's Saturday in front of the tube.
Iowa vs. Indiana, 3:29, 1st (3:32); Georgia vs. Vanderbilt, 4:02, 1st (4:05); Georgia vs. Vanderbilt, 3:33, 1st (3:36).
Oh, but you still ain't seen nothin' yet. In the second quarter of the Wake-NC State game, a Wolfpack receiver was tackled at the Demon Deacon 1, after which the ball came out late. The ball was correctly ruled down, but in the attempt to make a ruling on that live-action sequence, the officials didn't immediately stop the clock. It took FIVE seconds--from 10:21 to 10:16--for the clock to be stopped. Where's the outrage there? Someone got robbed of five precious seconds.
And here's the topper, or as Oscar Madison once said, "the ever-lovin' lulu of all time," in the Vandy-Georgia game, a play that ended at the first-down marker--and gained first-down yardage after a measurement--was not followed by a clock stoppage until fourteen whole seconds ticked off the Sanford Stadium clock. It took from 11:28 to 11:14 of the second quarter for someone to put a halt to the proceedings in Athens.
Remember, everyone: all this info--the six 2-second time lags, the three 3-second lags, the single 5-second lag; and a 14-second measurement lag (that's 11 total incidents of loose clock management)--came from watching snippets of games on one monitor over 54 minutes. One can safely assume that if one watched a full day of football (13 hours of games in all time zones) on one monitor alone, that number would reach at least 120 if the viewer was a vigilant and appreciably experienced channel surfer. Give someone five monitors for 13 full hours, and that number likely reaches (at the very least) 200. Apply that figure to all the TV games that took place in all of Division I-A on one weekend (beyond anything five monitors can handle), and that number will go much, much higher. Then include every single non-TV game as well, and you have a gigantic number. An overall figure of 500 would be quite conservative.
The contention that two- or three-second time lags are regular occurrences in college football after first-down plays is a contention that has been backed up with solid evidence. No one who was REALLY paying attention should have been the least bit outraged or shocked after the Washington-USC game, which--for the record--was preceded earlier in the season by a first-half flap involving Kentucky and Florida. The defense rests – or gets to rest.
So, was the Auburn-South Carolina ending unusual as a matter of officiating procedure? Hardly. The problem is that coaches and players (not to mention fans) have an expectation that the clock stops when a first down is gained in bounds. It is now clear that this statement – while perhaps true in a very expansive sense – isn't precisely true at a level of granular and microscopic detail. This reality carries profound implications for the ways in which endgame or end-of-half situations are treated – by coaches, players, fans, writers, broadcasters, and most of all, by the people who revise and evaluate college football's rules and officiating procedures each year.

Live, learn, laugh, LOVE, work hard and play harder with someone that gives as much as they expect in return.
Lets see... I'm easy going, down to earth and very real. As a matter of fact, I dont know how not to be me. What u see is what u get. I believe in live and let live. Treat others as you would like to be treated and strive every day of your life to be a higher version of yourself. But please no pressure, if u had a bad day. Who cares? Thats what tomorrow is for . Besides, its the bad days that are the building blocks of knowledge and integrity. On a lighter note, I love to have fun, laugh, play and learn as much as possible along the way and there is nothing better than finding that partner in crime to do this with. My best quality is my heart. I love to love. And I am extremely passionate with my lover and giving and compassionate with my friends.. However, this doesnt mean I'm not well grounded. I cant stand the drama, the psychotic behavior and the self sabotaging ways of women who fear happiness and fear getting hurt . Thus , leaving a trail of misery and pain...the irony.. I love a real woman. A well defined confident woman who knows what she wants and is comfortable in her own skin. Money is not that important but I do expect that she be self sufficient. Above all I love a woman that is kind , loving and good hearted. With the perfect mixture of humility and confidence. I love to travel, I love sports. I also like spontaneity and a sense of adventure. And there is nothing more enticing than good conversation. Please...huge sense of humor is required.

Health Minster Byrne Asked to ResignSubmitted by Suresh Lalwani on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 13:49
Listening to wrong thing and even letting that happen is an offence, and that is what the Greens has done by not raising concerns when in their presence, cuts in health bill were being decided.
Plea on Health Funds ThreatSubmitted by Kamilah Qasimi on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 12:01
Recent reports have revealed that Health Minister Michelle O' Byrne has urged the Federal Government for not punishing Tasmania in case it failed to achieve the assigned elective surgery targets. The plea was made by Health Minister yesterday.
Scathing Federal Cuts in Elective Surgery Budget Spark ControversySubmitted by Suresh Lalwani on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 09:45
It seems like the controversy shrouding massive cuts of over $60 million over next three years from elective surgery budget would take its due course of time to settle down, as it's being believed that this massive federal health cut could put the health care system of Tasmania under risk.

I really really like this. It never creases, smooths on so nicely and I like the cooling roller ball. It instantly adds brightness to the undereye area. I put this on as a first step prior to applying a peach toned corrector or more heavy duty concealer, just cause this hydrates so nicely and great for layering because it's so light. I've repurchased several times.

I finally found a concealer I love!
I have been searching for months for an undereye concealer that helps hide the darkness and shadows under my eyes without being too cakey and without the product pooling up in my lines like the Nile delta. This concealer is the best I have tried by far...and I've tried many: Lancome Effacerne, Dermablend Smooth Indulgence, Benefit Erase Paste, Physicians Formula Conceal Rx, It Bye Bye Undereye Concealer, among many others.
The Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller is so light that it blends perfectly without seeming as if I was trying too hard to hide my imperfections while also giving a wonderful brightening effect. This lightness also seems to be the reason it does not settle in lines as much as other products I've tried (and then I only notice a small amount of settling when staring closing at my undereye area via a magnified mirror). The sheerness of the formula does work at a disadvantage because it does lessen the ability to completely cover over the very darker areas (I use one more layer in those spots with more success) but the brightening effect seems to overcome the darker age spots peeking thru the coverage on me--- plus I'd rather have a more natural look than have a caked-on, muddy look that hides every single little thing anyway.
I didn't think I would like the ball applicator but I really do. When I dab the ball onto the problem areas instead of rolling it over the skin, it gives just the right amount of product (and I love the the soothing feeling from the cold metal ball against my skin).
In short, I am so ecstatic that my hunt for an undereye concealer is finally over! Hooray!

I have really dark circles under my eyes and this stuff really makes a big difference as soon as you put it on. If I could only choose one thing to put on, it would be this. Since my circles are so dark I do add a regular concealer and brightening powder on top of this, but this does do an amazing job by itself. It is a little pricey but it is a great product.

I love this more and more the longer I use it. It's amazing! Can't imagine not having it to put under my eyes to highlight the area and make me look awake. It's not drying at all either.

I have been looking for years for a decent under eye concealer and it looks like I've found it. The under eye is always problematic but this has cracked it for me. The product is so fine and sheer that it does not settle in the few eye lines I have. Other products made the lines look worse. I get some darkness under my eyes and this is enough to conceal it and look natural. I'm in the Bobby Brown camp of wanting makeup to just reveal to the world a better version of me. I aim for a polished and natural look. Thank you Garnier for this cracking product.

This is a pretty good concealer, it dosent cover up the darkness fully but nothing really does for me because i am soooo dark underneath the eyes. It gives a brightness added under my eyes and I'm not 100% sure I would buy it again but it is a pretty good product that I recommend. I love the roll on concept it's different and so easy :)

I have NW20 skin and this is perfect for my under eye. It has this nice cooling sensation when being used. Does not crease into my fine eyes. After rolling this under my eye, I use my fingers to blend. Would repurchase!!

I absolutely love this product. It is amazing for concealing under-eye circles and using as a highlighter. This may sound crazy but I even use this as a foundation when I am paler. It goes on lightweight and gives decent coverage for such a light product. No cakiness. Perfect for those summer days.

really impressed! I also enjoy the cool sensation under my eyes after applying it. it gives medium coverage but it does not crease for me (and i have an issue typically with concealers doing that.) I use it over my makeup forever hd foundation and its not too heavy which I like! I would definitely repurchase it!

Magic tube of goodness! Love the consistency of this product, as it goes on super-thin, covers well, but doesn't get caught in the fine lines around my eyes.
If I want more coverage, I do an extra layer or two and then top it off with Make Up Forever's HD Powder. The MUA powder sets this stuff beautifully and keeps my fine lines from causing creases. As I get older, I hate those tell-tale undereye cover-up creases far more than the dark circles I'm trying to hide away.
Extra tip - you may not want to bring this in your airplane carry-on. The cabin pressurization caused a bunch to leak into the cap. Didn't ruin the product or the tube, but was a bit messy & wasteful.

We are seeing quite a few calls where public folders, Offline Address books, and Free/Busy information are not replicating to the new SBS 2008 server after following the "Move Exchange Server public folders for Windows SBS 2008 migration" steps from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc527516(WS.10).aspx. The key thing to remember is that public folder replication messages use SMTP for transport, therefore if you have modified settings to the default SMTP Virtual Server these messages may never reach the destination. The SBS 2003 BPA will detect some of these mis-configurations, so make sure to also run both the Exchange BPA and SBS BPA.
To identify the issue you should view the queue in Exchange 2003. You will notice you have a backlog of messages in the queue using the Routing group connector that SBS 2008 creates during a migration setup. In this case we have a non-standard outbound TCP port configured.

Just imagine there was a large plot of land perfectly for for a major league stadium in say a suburbs of Cincinnati like Blue Ash. Do you think the reds overall attendance would increase in the long run?
Yes, I believe it would increase
No, I don't think it would.
Just imagine there was a large plot of land perfectly for for a major league stadium in say a suburbs of Cincinnati like Blue Ash. Do you think the reds overall attendance would increase in the long run?
I personally dont think so. There is still much more to do before/after games in the city than there would be in blue ash.
I think the ring of poverty around Downtown Cincinnati still scares a lot of people away.
I voted yes, but a more central location would be advisable, because of the whole eastside/westside thing.
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I personally wish it was north of town, but living near Dayton, I guess I'm biased.
Just a dude who loves the reds, and some new sneakers.
What if this is as good as it gets?
I think it would, but i always feel like the teams that do that shouldn't be able to use the City's name. And small cities like pittsburgh, cincy, st. louis, and baltimore really rely on the stadium crowds to boost local business. If the reds played in Blue ash or another northern suburb it would make the reds alot more accessible to dayton and columbus folks
No. I think some sort of attached parking structure would do more for the attendance than moving it to a suburb although I'm not sure either would do much.
I guess the answer lies as to where the majority of "reds nation" live. W/o doing any research I tend to think the Mason,Blue Ash and surrounding areas make up an overwhelming % of the TV population. While the inner city neighborhoods and their immediate suburbias (Newport, Covington, Cheviot, Delhi,etc) are making up the majority of in crowd attendance.
I'd go less if it were north of the city.
In my opinion a Blue Ash located stadium would turn off a large contingent of Northern Kentucky residents who regularly go to the games now. As someone else mentioned, I dont think West siders, who have a pretty easy time getting downtown as it is now, would want to drive north to go to a ball game.
With the Banks and Newport on the Levee accessible so close to the stadium, no way. I also don't think I'd be crazy about watching a major league baseball game in Blue Ash, even though it's closer to me.
There's something more appealing about having to drive into the city, especially if you're coming from out of town. Downtown Cinci is a lot of fun these days.
They are the Cincinnati Reds, they should play in Cincinnati.

Understanding Dogmas and Dreams: A Text
Nancy Sue Love
Chatham House Publishers, 1998 - Philosophy - 216 pages
In her introduction to Dogmas and Dreams: A Reader in Modern Political Ideologies, Nancy S. Love outlines three reasons for studying political ideologies: to understand modern politics, to think democratically, and to democratize political theory. To guide students in the study of ideologies, Understanding Dogmas and Dreams amplifies Love's suggestions for analyzing texts such as those presented in her reader. She recommends that the student explore the historical context for each political ideology, then seek to identify the following components in the text: a critique of existing society, a vision of a better future, and a strategy for getting from here to there. All three, she concludes, are usually informed by an underlying concept of human nature.

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall scored a goal in Tuesday night's game against the Colorado Avalanche with an assist from the backboards at Joe Louis Arena. Kronwall deliberately sent his slapshot from near the blue line just wide of the Avalanche net, but the puck bounced hard off the backboards towards the goal crease, then off the foot of Avalanche goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere into the net for the score. Kronwall's goal was the difference in the game as the Red Wings won 2-1. Video via NHL.com. H/T Puck Daddy.

Steelers host Bills OT, two draft prospects
The Steelers are hosting a trio of players today, including their first NFL free agent.
The team is meeting with Buffalo Bill offensive tackle Demetrius Bell as well as Miami (Ohio) guard Brandon Brooks and former Stanford long snapper Zachary Nolan.
Bell, 27, has started parts of the last two seasons at left tackle. The 6-5, 311-pounder played in seven games in 2011 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury. Bell, a seventh-round pick in 2008, has had trouble staying healthy but is just now entering the prime of his career.
Steelers offensive line coach Sean Kugler spent two seasons working with Bell before leaving Buffalo for Pittsburgh.
The Steelers are also taking a closer look at the 6-5, 343-pound Brooks, who did not get an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine but performed well at Miami's Pro Day and Nolan, Stanford's starting long snapper from 2008-2010.

text: Buster Olney just said on Baseball Tonight that Walt Jocketty is ready to have a firesale and has told other teams he's ready to deal. Olney mentioned Arroyo, Dunn, and Griffey as the main three on the block. It's obvious this team is going no where this season so why not start dealing. The Reds have a good young nucleus of talent and hopefully Jocketty can add to it with some nice trades. Shortstop, catcher, and a center fielder should be targeted return right now IMO.

Trans-Israel pipeline
The Trans-Israel pipeline (Hebrew: קו צינור אילת אשקלון), also known as the Tipline or the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline was built in 1957 [1] to transport crude oil from Iran to Europe. The Iranians stopped the use of the pipeline after Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown as a result of the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979. The 254 km, 42" pipeline's capacity from a special pier in Ashkelon to Eilat's port on the Red Sea is 400,000 barrels (64,000 m3) per day, and 1.2 million barrels per day (190,000 m3/d) in the opposite direction. The pipeline is owned and operated by the Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company (EAPC) which also operates several other oil pipelines in Israel.
Oil distribution[edit]
In 2003, Israel and Russia made an agreement to supply Asian markets with Russian oil delivered by tankers from Novorossiysk to Ashkelon and then reloaded onto tankers in Eilat for shipment to Asia. In other words, the oil would flow in the direction opposite to the one intended when the pipeline was originally constructed. This route from Europe to Asia is shorter than the traditional one around Africa, and cheaper than the one via the Suez Canal.
Oil spill[edit]
In December 2014, a breach in the Evrona Nature Reserve near the southern end of the pipeline led to a massive oil spill.[1]

DETROIT Victor Martinez of the Detroit Tigers made a play in the sixth inning Sunday that was so great that the player he robbed Boston Red Sox leadoff man Jacoby Ellsbury -- patted him on the back as he lay prone on the grass. Martinez, starting at first base for only the fourth time this season, dove toward line and knocked down a screamer by Ellsbury. He quickly recovered the ball while on the ground, and blindly flicked it backward to pitcher Drew Smyly covering. The toss was on the mark and Ellsbury was out. You will not see a better play than Martinez made. It was part magic and all effort. Watch his incredible play here.

Insiders View #1 – The Thrill of Bottling 2012 Chiara Bianco & Rose
Imagine telling a strawberry farmer that it would be 3 years from the time they their strawberry plants bloomed in Spring to the time they could sell them??!! Well, such is the life of a 'wine-grower' as those of us who grow grapes to make wine are called. For a typical vine, budbreak on is in April or May and harvest is in the late Fall, but by the time it ferments, ages in the barrel, then settles out in the bottle, it can be over 3 years before it is enjoyed! So imagine how excited we get when our white wines hit the shelves in just under 12 months.
Our 2012 Chiara Bianco and Chiara Rose, both named for my mom, were bottled at Outpost Winery in March, and we are releasing them to you at the end of April. I thought you'd enjoy seeing a bit of the journey during bottling time.

Iraqi Christians fleeing the violence in the towns of Qaraqush and Bartala, both east of the city of Mosul in the northern province of Nineveh, pray at the Saint George church on July 1, 2014 in the Kurdish autonomous region's capital Arbil. AFP PHOTO /KARIM SAHIB
BEIRUT: The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate Wednesday condemned the attacks on Mosul's Christians, calling on states funding extremist organizations to stop immediately.
"We strongly ... condemn the attacks against the Christians of Mosul," a statement by the Patriarchate said, "and the exerted coercion forcing them to change their belief, pay a tax or leave their homes, while having their properties confiscated."
"These fundamentalist movements," the statement added, "are the most dangerous for ... coexistence."
The statement called on states that provide fundamentalist groups with any direct or indirect foreign support to "immediately stop all forms of material, logistic, military and moral support," saying that the terrorist groups threaten "the people and peace of those states first."
"Christians and Muslims are two lungs of one Eastern body," the Patriarchate said, "and we condemn anything that harms the reputation of the forgiving Islamic religion, with which we have experienced the peace and fraternity."
Separately, the Orthodox Church condemned the Israeli offensive against Gaza, calling the international community to act urgently and end the attacks.
"We call on the international community stop the fire machine in Gaza and break the vicious siege imposed on our brothers in Palestine," the Patriarchate said, saying that the Palestinian cause remains the central cause.
"The Palestinian people's insistence on their land and their eagerness to go back to it remain a source of hope to every person suffering in this East," the statement said, but a stigma on the forehead of those whose 'human rights' stop at the Palestinian borders."

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/230,626, filed Sep. 5, 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention was made with Government support under Grant No. N00014-97-1-0516, awarded by the Office of Naval Research—MURI. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
1. Field of the Invention
The field of the invention is the fabrication of SiGe buffers.
2. Description of the Related Art
Relaxed SiGe has become an important material for various device applications. To date, strain-relaxed SiGe buffers have been realized by at least three methods. One method is to grow compositionally graded SiGe layers at high temperatures (typically at 700� C. to 900� C.) with a typical grading rate of 10% Ge per 1 μm via ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) [E. A. Fitzgerald, et al., J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 10, 1807(1992); U.S. Pat. No. 6,107,653 to Fitzgerald; and M. T. Currie, et al., Appl Phys. Lett., 72, 1718(1998)]. Another method uses a low temperature Si buffer (typically grown below 400� C.) underneath a SiGe layer of constant composition grown at about 550� C. [J. H. Li, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 71,3132(1997)]. Still another method introduces impurities, such as carbon, in SiGe layers to adjust the strain [H. J. Osten, and E. Bugiel, Appl. Phys. Lett. 70, 2813(1997)].
These techniques have certain disadvantages which include long growth times, thick buffer layers, rough surfaces, high residual strain degree, and/or high threading dislocation densities. Obviously, long growth time and thick buffers result in low efficiency, high costs, and low yields. In addition, devices grown on these buffers are likely to perform poorly as a result of the high threading dislocation density and surface roughness. Previously, it was shown that a segregating species, such as a metallic surfactant, can be used to inhibit island formation in strain layer heteroepitaxy [E. Tournie, K. Ploog, Thin Solid Films, 231, 43(1993)]. Therefore, there is a need for an improved method for improving graded buffer layers with a high grading rate in their properties including improving surface roughness and threading dislocation densities.
The present invention describes the use of a metallic surfactant to grow high quality relaxed oriented SiGe buffers. More particularly, the invention comprises the use of metallic surfactants, such as, Sb, Bi, As, or atomic hydrogen (H+) for improving graded buffer layers with a high grading rate in their properties including surface roughness and threading dislocation densities. Graded SiGe can be grown to high Ge content layers, including pure Ge using such previously disclosed metallic surfactants and controlling the temperature and temperature cycles. One typical temperature cycle, a flash-off technique, occurs by increasing the growth temperature slowly from about 500� C. to 800� C., preferably to about 700� C., keeping the substrate temperature at that point for about 5–10 minutes and then to decreasing the temperature back to about 500� C. The growth of process is illustrated with a Si(100) substrate but can be applied to other oriented substrates such as Si(111), Si(110) or Si on insulator (SOI) substrates. In a particular embodiment, a flash-off technique is used at the end of grading to reduce the incorporation of doping for subsequent epilayer growth.
Thus, this invention provides a method for processing a relatively thin SiGe buffers, with a very smooth surface and a very low threading dislocation density, on which high-quality films can be epitaxilly grown for various applications.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following detailed description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings.
The present invention describes a technique of fabricating thin, high-quality, relaxed SiGe buffers. The schematic diagram of this approach is demonstrated in
The present invention has several advantages over the previous arts. Firstly, this technique exploits a high grading rate, typically about 25% to 50% Ge per 1 μm buffer, resulting in thin buffers with low costs and high yields. Secondly, low temperature growth processes can be integrated into any type of current processing technology, thus requiring lower thermal budgets. Finally, the quality of the buffers disclosed by the present invention is greatly improved (typically in the orders of magnitude) in terms of both threading dislocation density and surface roughness.
The following examples will serve to further illustrate the nature of the invention, but is not limited on the scope thereof, which is defined solely by the claims.
The present invention is tested by fabricating a high-quality, relaxed Si0.5GeO.5 buffer; [see J. L. Liu, C. D. Moore, G. D. U'Ren, Y. H. Luo, Y. Lu, G. Jin, S. G. Thomas, A S. Goorsky, and K. L. Wang, Appl. Phys. Lett. 75, 1586(1999)]. The growth is carried out using a solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The substrate temperature is kept at about 510� C. during the growth step. The 1 monolayer Sb step is grown on a Si(100) substrate. This is followed by about an 2-μm-thick linearly graded SiGe, with the Ge mole fraction varying from about 0.0 to 0.5 and the grading rate is about 25% Ge per 1 μm buffer. Finally, about an 0.3-μm-thick constant Si0.5GeO.5 film is grown.
Using the method as described in Example 1, SiGe detectors can be grown on Si for 1.3 μm wavelength and 1.55 μm wavelength communication applications.
Using the method as described in Example 1, Ge detectors can be grown on Si for 1.3 μm wavelength and 1.55 μm wavelength communication applications. Specifically, pure Ge p-i-n photodetectors with very low dark current and high quantum efficiency were fabricated using surfactant-mediated graded SiGe films. The structure consisted of the following layers: about a 100-nm-thick Si buffer, linearly graded Si1-XGeX with X from about 0 to 1 (the top about 0.6-μm-thick buffer was doped with Sb of about 0.7–1�1017 cm−3 to form n layer), about 0.8-μm-thick undoped Ge and about 0.1-μm-thick B-doped p+ Ge with a doping density of about 5�1018 cm−3. The thickness of the linearly graded buffer part can be tailored at will. The thickness of the buffer layer is very critical for controlling threading dislocation density and surface roughness. Similar to graded SiGe buffers grown by other methods, surfactant-mediated SiGe graded buffer has a certain dependence of the thickness on the resulting threading dislocation density and surface roughness. The thicker the buffer, the lower the threading dislocation density and the smoother the surface. The present invention has the advantage of reducing the buffer layer significantly, while obtaining a high-quality buffer for various applications.
In order to characterize the low dislocation density, Nomarski optical micrograph of the etched Ge film with a 4 μm buffer was taken in
The as-grown pure Ge film was fabricated into Ge p-i-n mesa diodes with 100 μm�200 μm in size.
The dark current density from the sample from the present invention with a 100% Ge per 1 μm steep grading rate was several times lower than the previously reported values of 200 mA/cm2 [S. Luryi, et al., IEEE Trans. Electron Devices ED, 31, 1135(1984)] and 50 mA/cm2 [P. Sutter, et al., Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 31, 541(1994)]. The sample with a 25% Ge per 1 μm grading rate exhibited a very low dark current density, close to the ideal dark diffusion current density of 0.03 mA/cm2 based on our doping profile. Minority carrier lifetime τp of 10−7 seconds was used in our calculation. The internal quantum efficiency was measured to be as high as 70% at 1.55 μm for the diodes with the 4 μm SiGe buffer. The detector response as determined by the RC constant was about 2.3 GHz.
Using the method as described in Example 1, high Ge content Si1-xGex/Si1-yGey/Si1-zGez heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) can be prepared. X, y, and z are any numbers between 0 and 1. Preferably, y is greater than x and z. X and z can be equal or different. HBTs fabricated with higher y value exhibit higher cut-off frequency.
Using the method as described in Example 1, III-IV opto-electronic devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) integrated on Si substrate can be prepared using SiGe buffers graded to pure Ge.

I have been wearing la nuit by paco for over 20 years and then it became hard to find. When I visited Paris in 1999, I purchased at least 10 bottles to bring back to the US. I became elated when I found it on your website. I now wear it only when I am feeling sexy and I get so many compliments. I wore it to my 84 year old mom's Mothers Day dinner and she now wants a bottle. Wearing la Nuit is one of the special things I do for myself. I highly recomend it for women who know exactly who they are!

Autumn international: Wales v Australia preview
Last Updated: 01/12/13 11:25am
Sam Warburton has challenged Wales to rise to the Test and get the better of Australia in their final autumn outing in Cardiff on Saturday.
Wales have lost eight Tests in a row against their rivals who will also be in their pool at the 2015 World Cup, although half of those defeats were by three points or less.
The countries have met on 36 occasions and the Wallabies lead the series 25-10, with one draw - a 29-29 scoreline in Cardiff back in 2006.
The hosts parade 11 players in their starting team this weekend who were part of the Test series-winning British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia earlier this year.
But skipper Sam Warburton believes the Lions' success will have no bearing on this clash and he has challenged Wales to raise their game and finish with three wins out of four following their opening three November Tests against South Africa, Argentina and Tonga.
If Wales can achieve victory, it would give them three wins in an autumn campaign for the first time since 2002.
Warburton said: "For me, the Lions has no bearing on the match on Saturday. It is for Wales, and the Welsh fans will want to see it as well as the players.
"The players are very confident, and if we can finish this series with three wins out of four then it would be a success compared to last year.
"I have always thought that Wales can't be called (World Cup) contenders, really, until we beat the southern hemisphere sides.
"It is obviously a big hurdle for Wales, and we have got to desperately try to achieve that this weekend. It would be massive to get a win."
Cuthbert return
Cardiff Blues wing Alex Cuthbert will return to the Wales team after recovering for an ankle injury.
Elsewhere, flanker Dan Lydiate features in the back row with Justin Tipuric on the bench, while Dan Biggar wins Wales coach Warren Gatland's fly-half vote ahead of Rhys Priestland, who is among the replacements.
The Wallabies have recalled Adam Ashley-Cooper and Nick Cummins for the clash.
The two backs were among a group of six players handed one-match bans by coach Ewen McKenzie following an inappropriate drinking session prior to the win over Ireland in Dublin a fortnight ago.
Ashley-Cooper will start at outside centre in place of Mike Harris, who drops to the bench, with Cummins back on the wing in place of Chris Feauai-Sautia, who scored a try in the 21-15 win over the Scots at Murrayfield.
Prop Paddy Ryan will serve his one-match ban this week after playing against the Scots, while flanker Liam Gill misses out on the squad altogether.
Front rowers Tatafu Polota-Nau and Benn Robinson have been named on the bench.
The pack remains unchanged but Dave Dennis and Kane Douglas are named amongst the replacements instead of strong scrummager Sitaleki Timani.
Wales: Halfpenny, Cuthbert, O Williams, S Williams, North, Biggar, Phillips; Jenkins, Hibbard, Rhodri Jones, AW Jones, Evans, Lydiate, Warburton (capt), Faletau
Replacements: Owens, Bevington, Lee, Ryan Jones, Tipuric, R Williams, Priestland, L Williams
Australia: Folau, Tomane, Ashley-Cooper, Leali'ifano, Cummins, Cooper, Slipper, Moore, Kepu, Simmons, Horwill, Fardy, Hooper, Mowen (capt)
Replacements: Polota-Nau, Robinson, Alexander, Douglas, Dennis, White, Harris, Foley
