Situated just south of Lake Ontario in New York state, the Finger Lakes American Viticultural Area (AVA) is named for the long, slender lakes created over successive waves of glacial activity beginning over one hundred-thousand years ago. Glaciers carved out the lakes as they moved south and filled them with water as they retreated.
Eleven lakes fall within the Finger Lakes wine region. Seneca Lake is located in the center of the AVA, and with a depth of 632 feet is the deepest of the lakes. Cayuga Lake lies to the east and is the next deepest. To the west of Seneca Lake is Keuka Lake, which is roughly wishbone shaped, and beyond is Canandaigua Lake. The majority of vineyards are planted around these central Finger Lakes.
Two sub-AVAs have been designated within the larger Finger Lakes AVA and surround the lakes after which they are named. Cayuga Lake AVA was designated in 1988 and Seneca Lake AVA in 2003.
Not only are the lakes a dominant natural feature of the area, they moderate the climate around them. According to the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance:
The massive bodies of water, visible from our vineyards, have a profound effect on the grapes. During the winter, cold air drains naturally from the sloping vineyards to the lakes. In spring, cool air bathes the vines, delaying the start of the growing season so that the tender shoots are not injured by late frosts. In the fall, the sun-warmed lakes prevent early frosts and extend the growing season.
Winters are snowy and can be harsh. The growing season is relatively short with considerable humidity. Cool-weather varieties do the best in the Finger Lakes AVA. The most-planted vinifera grapes of the region are Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Merlot and Pinot Gris. French-American hybrid varieties and native varieties are planted as well.
We recently participated in a virtual tasting of six Finger Lakes Rieslings (#FLXWineVT on Twitter). We, along with others, had the opportunity to taste and chat about the wines. The tasting samples were provided by the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance. Here is what we tasted.
2013 Hector Wine Company Dry Riesling — light yellow in the glass with delicate aromas of citrus and petrol. Juicy citrus flavors combine with a hint of melon and tart pineapple. This wine is refreshing, juicy and finishes with a squeeze of citrus pith. ABV 12.1%
A lovely combination of fresh juicy flavors with a clean finish and very moderate ABV. The fermentation was cool and slow, in stainless steel, with 5 months of lees contact prior to bottling. This wine has summer written all over it. Sip it on the patio then have a glass with a watermelon and feta cheese salad for dinner.
2013 Billsboro Winery Dry Riesling — very pale yellow in the glass with delicate floral aromas. Pineapple flavors combine with interesting minerality resulting in a pleasing tropical flavor. Clean, lingering finish. ABV 11.5%
Think of practically any hors d'oeuvre and this wine would be a good match. Grilled shrimp, soft white cheese or jalapeño poppers would pair nicely with this clean, flavorful wine.
Interestingly both the Hector Wine Company Dry Riesling and the Billsboro Winery Dry Riesling are sourced from Sawmill Creek Vineyards. The two were harvested just a day apart but are unique expressions of the same vineyard.
2014 Boundary Breaks #239 Dry Riesling — light yellow in the glass. Lovely white flower and pear aromas are followed by a combination of ripe melon and pineapple resulting in tropical flavors with hints of white flowers. Juicy acidity combines with these complex flavors to produce a clean finish that leaves you salivating for more. ABV 12.8%
This wine showed amazing complexity on the first night we tasted it, but became even more complex over the next two evenings. A remarkable wine, my favorite of the group.
Boundary Breaks does only Riesling. They have planted four Riesling clones, Geisenheim clones 110, 98 and 239 and clone 90 from Neustadt. This Riesling is a single clone wine produced from clone #239.
2014 Chateau LaFayette Reneau Dry Riesling — very light yellow in the glass with delicate floral and pear aromas. Complex tropical fruit flavors combine with stone fruit flavors that finish with tart acidity and citrus pith. ABV 12.5%
Very complex flavors, and Pete's favorite wine of the group. This wine makes me long for filet of sole cooked in butter and capers; just about any white fish in a buttery sauce would probably be amazing.
2013 Wagner Vineyards Fathom 107 — light yellow in the glass with aromas that are a bit tropical with a hint of petrol. Tropical fruit flavors combine with a bit of woodsy earth, nice acidity and a citrus pith finish. ABV 12%
The flavors of this wine seemed to integrate more fully over the couple of days we had this bottle open. I liked it more on the third day than on the first. This wine is a blend of 65% Riesling and 35% Gewürztraminer. Coincidently it was produced to celebrate the winery's 35th anniversary.
Fathom 107 refers to the depth of Seneca Lake as measured in fathoms. Seems fitting given that the depth of the lake so influences the climate around it.
2013 Red Newt Cellars Circle Riesling — light yellow in the glass with petrol aromas follow by sweet stone fruit, honeysuckle and minerals. Distinctly sweet, but with a clean finish, this wine has loads of flavor and a bit more weight in the mouth. Just delicious. ABV 10.2%
With residual sugar of 3.3%, it is discernibly sweet but not overly so, and properly balanced with acidity. Any spicy dish would be amazing with this wine, but it is so easy to enjoy that food is really not necessary. This wine was the favorite of our wine friend who also tasted these wines with us.
And then there's that wonderful label…love the newt.
All six of these wines are produced from vineyards located along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, as noted above, the deepest of the Finger Lakes. The climate along this shore of the lake is the warmest in the region. The lake influence combines with warm afternoon sunshine to produce what locals call the banana belt. Riesling is clearly very happy growing here.
We thoroughly enjoyed this group of Finger Lakes Rieslings. Thanks to the winemakers for taking time to discuss your wines and to the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance for organizing the tasting and wine samples.
In August we will be attending the 2015 Wine Bloggers' Conference (#WBC15) in Corning, New York where we will have the opportunity to visit several Finger Lakes wineries and taste wines from many more area wineries. I expect it to be a wonderful compliment to reading about the region and its wineries. There is nothing like seeing the sights, walking the vineyards and smelling the soil to help you understand a wine region.

Martha Stewart's Granddaughter Jude Celebrates Her First Birthday

Some first birthday parties include homemade birthday cakes and photos of babies with frosting all over their faces – but few babies have Martha Stewart for a grandmother.
Last Thursday, Stewart and her daughter Alexis hosted an intimate celebration at Perry St., a restaurant in New York, to toast Alexis's daughter Jude's first birthday.
Catered by legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his son, Cedric, who is also the executive chef at the eatery, the pièce de résistance was a trio of homemade birthday cakes in a variety of flavors topped with marzipan animals.

It's a boy for Alexis Stewart!
Martha Stewart's daughter welcomed her second child, a son named Truman, who was born via surrogate on Tuesday, March 6, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.
Truman arrived just in time to help big sister Jude celebrate her first birthday on Thursday.
Stewart, 46, struggled for five years to become a mom until Jude, who was also born via surrogate, arrived March 8 of last year.
"Getting Jude was lucky," she told PEOPLE at the time. "I'm happy, but this has been rough."

Martha Stewart certainly is not offended by the fact her daughter, Alexis Stewart, is unleashing a tell-all about growing up under the heavy thumb of her mother.
Not only is Stewart's Blackberry buzzing about the book – "I get a little 'ping ping' like every five minutes," says the domestic diva, 70 – but, she says, "I got an advanced copy and I actually read the book … oh, maybe about a month or a month and a half ago. I didn't know that it was even coming."
Whateverland: Learning to Live Here, which Alexis, 46, co-wrote with her Whatever Sirius Satellite Radio-show partner Jennifer Koppelman Hutt, is to be published Oct. 18 and contains "fabulous pictures," says Martha. "And it is hilarious and it is enlightening and it's full of funny stories."

Her daughter Alexis, 46, levies some harsh claims in her new book, Whateverland: Learning to Live Here, co-authored with Jennifer Koppelman Hutt.
"Martha does everything better! You can't win," Alexis Stewart writes of her 70-year-old mom, according to an excerpt obtained by U.K.'s Daily Mail. "If I didn't do something perfectly, I had to do it again. … I grew up with a glue gun pointed at my head."
As for holidays, Alexis – who recently welcomed a daughter of her own, Jude – writes that special moments like Halloween and Christmas held little excitement for her mother.

Martha Stewart's only child, Alexis, has welcomed a daughter of her own.
The baby girl, Jude, was born via gestational carrier on Tuesday.
Though the entertaining guru is surely glad to have a granddaughter, don't expect her to be a typical grandmother. "Martha is going to be called, 'Martha,'" Alexis announced on her radio show, Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer. "She seemed to have no problem with it. ... I was like, 'Do you really want to be 'grandma'? I don't like the term grandma!"
For the past few years, Alexis Stewart, 45, has been open about her struggle to conceive a child, telling PEOPLE in 2007 that she was spending more than $20,000 each month on fertility treatments.

Duke Blue Devils Commit Jabari Parker Is Playing Well at Chicago Pro Ams
Jabari Parker has apparently been killing it at Chicago League Pro Ams, which are going on this summer.
Jabari Parker out here giving these boys the works! Lets see if they can pull it out #thefuture #chileagueproam #wyhs
— Amanda Thompson (@TheWaitress21) June 17, 2013
Parker was last year's Gatorade high school boys basketball player of the year and he won the Wooden award this year. He is in for an amazing season as part of the Duke Blue Devils; they will win a LOT of games next year and they will most likely be in the mix for a national championship.
Jabari Parker really went to the same high school as DRose and he going to Duke smh
— Z Dollaz (@KB_24The6thRing) June 16, 2013
Here is hoping Parker continues to play well this summer, and also that he avoids injury for the majority if not all of his freshman year. He had a foot injury slow his game up a bit last year and it would be a real shame to see that happen again. I want the world to see Parker at his best, and something tells me that his game will open their eyes to fundamental basketball.

Started in 2013, Buffalo Mass Mob has held three "Flash Mob" style events at inner city Catholic churches organized through social media and the internet.

All three camps will be held at different points of the summer, each for a five-day period, making it easier for students who enjoy hockey and golf to try their hand at both. For those not interested in a specific sport, the G.O.A.L.S. (Go Out and Live Strong) Camp offers an alternative for ages 7-12 that includes a variety of indoor and outdoor games and sports.

Buffalo Chamber Players Artistic Director Janz Castelo says of the program, "Arrangements and transcriptions have existed for as long as music has been around and composers have created them for varied reasons including artistic, educational and at times financial. Our concert celebrates the art and skill of arranging and we are thrilled JoAnn Falletta is joining us for the program."
This two component exhibit takes place at the Buffalo Religious Arts Center, 157 East Street, Buffalo, NY in Historic Black Rock.

Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate plan to meet with President Barack Obama on Friday as a year-end budget deadline approaches, Senator Dick Durbin said Thursday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are scheduled to attend the meeting at the White House, said Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.
Whether there will be more budget-related Senate votes before the end of the year depends "a lot" on what happens at tomorrow's meeting, Durbin said.
"A lot depends on the president's meeting tomorrow with the leaders and whether that results in a proposal and whether there is any understanding of how that might come to a vote in the House and the Senate," Durbin said in an interview.
More than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts are set to start taking effect in January unless Congress acts to avert them.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
19 Apr 2005 09:48 GMT
Interior Minister Akila Esso Boko said about 50 people were injured in weekend fighting, including members of the security forces. Communications Minister Pitang Tchalla said earlier that "several people" had been hurt in scuffles between members of the ruling Togolese People's Rally (RPT) and the opposition, but said the iinterior ministry had reported no deaths on either side. Vehicles belonging to security forces have been damaged, according to the interior ministry, which said demonstrators had carried hunting rifles, knives, nail-studded clubs, stones and sticks.
Rising tensions Violence and tension in the small west African country have mounted since the death on 5 February of head of state Gnassingbe Eyadema, an autocratic ruler who had been in power since 1967.
Eyadema died in early February,sparking political crisis in Togo Eyadema was considered by his domestic opposition as an electoral cheat, but still recognised as the doyen of African presidents. The army and the ruling party moved swiftly to have one of his sons, financier Faure Gnassingbe, made president by changing the constitution, but backed down weeks later under international pressure and opened the way to Sunday's polls. A human rights group, close to the government, has said that when serious clashes broke out on Saturday between supporters of rival political parties, six RPT supporters were killed and about 100 injured, basing the toll on reports from health centres.
Eyadema died in early February,sparking political crisis in Togo
Opposition claim The coordinator of the main opposition coalition, Yawovi Agboyibo, said one activist on their side was killed and 55 wounded in the violence. Tchalla, who is also government spokesman, on Monday blamed the opposition - which largely contends 24 April is far too early a date to organise a fair poll - for the weekend violence. "They were deliberate acts of provocation that coalition leaders should openly condemn if they don't want to give credence to the notion of a plot," Tchalla said.

Expectant and new parents can set up a gift registry quickly and easily.
Cincinnati, OH, Sep 17, 2010. Best for Babies, located in Cincinnati's Silverton neighborhood, is one of the city's greatest destinations for new and expectant parents. The baby boutique just added a new gift registry service to the store and website www.bestforbabies.com. The owners of Best for Babies believe that style and quality don't have to come at the expense of great customer service, and the registry is another aspect of this business model.
"We pride ourselves on our tremendous knowledge of every item we carry" says Sydney Warm Tasner who with business partner Lizzie Levin conducts extensive research and personal reviews of each product they carry to ensure their own comfort in suggesting items to shoppers. "Our parent panel along with our customers continue to help us review and recommend products that are useful, durable, safe, and of course cute!"
The integration of the eWish registry to BestForBabies.com means expectant and new parents can set up a gift registry quickly and easily, and use convenient Add-to-Registry Buttons to build a gift list. Friends and family visit the registry to view the list of gifts and make a purchase on-line, or by calling or visiting the store in person. All purchases are automatically removed from the list to eliminate duplicate gifts. The gift registry can be used for a variety of occasions, from baby showers to birthdays and takes the guesswork out of gift buying.
eWish (www.eWish.com) is a leading provider of private label gift registry systems for on-line and off-line merchants. Its system can be quickly integrated with a merchant's retail store, web site or mail order operations, and has a number of unique features such as guestbook, RSVP system, and on-line photo album.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not sure if you guys have noticed there has been some interesting call buying this week in AMPE. Someone bought 800 of the Feb 3 calls (entire open interest) and 800 of the Jan 2.5 calls this week
those tyrades were cancelled. someone playing games as usual
Sentiment: Strong Buy
LOL, Classic rich pump from Sept 18, 2012:
"So far you have done a remarkable job of holding through the last years roller coaster ride. I interviewed Dr. Bar-Or and learned about the mechanism underlying NCE001. I am going on record as stating that NCE001 will be the most powerful cancer fighting drug in history. Ampion will also be a miracle drug that will eventually dominate the 60 billion dollar anti-inflmmatory market. Optina and Vasaloc are going to be huge because they work so well and have no side effects and the market is large and growing rapidly. And Zertane will be the SuperSex drug of the century."
perfect call!
Agreed with the "trial failure" that is always a possibility and that BP will #$%$ for pennies and then slowly bring it to market. Let's hope that this currently proposed trial makes it....time will tell.
Interesting perspective. I interpreted that portion of the call as partner timelines for co-sponsoring the trial were inconsistent with company cash position, therefore a deal would happen *after* successful final pivotal trial. If successful, pharma doesn't mind paying a higher price for risk reduction. If it fails to meet endpoint again, pharma will pick up Ampion for a fraction of the price and bring it to market on their timescale and with their funds.
More concisely, product works well, application ease, on target for getting it done, from conference call would not be surprised if they are concurrently working with B-Pharma as the time-line comments regarding the B-Pharma clinical processes was spot on. Appears from yesterday that the accumulation is now occurring. Pattern with Bios many of us have seen is a "three-day rule" where post interesting information, i.e., the conference call, there is a lag in price/volume action. That may be what we are seeing here. If they can get this through the gate, I think Mike will have a sale in hand rapidly and he will, at this point, gladly step away from the Street shenanigans. if you check the board of directors ages, these guys are not puppies and are probably ready to cash in and move on.
Care to speculate on why you think its suddenly showing such strength?
Dipped to 2.88 at 3:16PM and a very nice climb back up to $3.00 at close and then a couple pennies after hours—beyond my wildest expectations/dreams….Way ahead of my schedule…
And over 900,000 volume.
at the moment as we sit a dime off the days highs it appears longs either covered or got stopped at 3.00 -.301. The session highs.
only 300% more to get to the near pre-STRIDE release high. Good to see consistent uptrend with reasonable volume for a change.
All I was hoping for was a nickel or dime a day.....moving much faster than ever anticipated. Guess Ampion works.....
The June 4th high is 3.04. Let's get thru that
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Trending north from here on out, yippy ki yah!
Getting to $3 and staying above it is the next objective.
It's going up!
Sentiment: Buy
Currently undervalued
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Take it how you want but sounded like someone who is short the stock.

Bad Santas unite at Denver Santacon 2008
See more photos from Denver SantaCon 2008.
Everybody sing along: "On the first and only day of SantaCon a drunken Santa gave to me, a fifth of vodka and a porno DVD."
Such was the naughty yuletide spirit that ran through Denver SantaCon 08, the annual all-day holiday bar crawl on Saturday, December 20, in which revelers donned their St. Nick caps and drinking faces and rode their beer-soaked sleigh clean across the city. While Denver's Santarchy, which has been occurring for years, isn't as substantial as the multitudes of crazy Klauses that swarm places like New York City and San Francisco, what the Mile High Christmas crew lacks in numbers it makes up for in audacity.
The festivities got off to an early start this at the Blue Bonnet at 457 South Broadway, where dozens of Santas, plus a foxy elf or two, came together over morning beers and tortillas. Soon the congregation spilled onto the side of Broadway, waving signs at cars reading, "Less cookies, more hos!" and "I see you when you're sleeping!" While some handed out pornos and tubes of personal lubricant from their sacks of "toys," one enterprising Santa shook his empty coal-black boot in supplication at passing cars, asking, "Have some change for Santa? It's a recession Christmas."
Swigging from poorly concealed flasks and shouting drunkenly, "We got good tidings up in here!" the bedraggled assemblage, growing in numbers, made its way south courtesy of a Santa-filled light rail train. For provisions, the Santas ran rampant through the Whole Foods in Washington Park, wreaking havoc on the trays of freebies throughout the store. "What are you advertising?" asks a bewildered store employee, to which the bleary-eyed Kringles just ho-ho-hoed mischievously. Then it was on to the Pub on Pearl, at 1101 South Pearl Street, where everyone gathered together to croon imaginatively revised Christmas carols, such as "O Come All Ye Perverts" and "HUFF! The Nitrous Angels Sing."
That's when the Easter Bunny showed up - a sign of the lunacy to come. Soon it was again time for everyone to hit the road - more bars awaited, not to mention a strip club or two. The red-and-white throng was heard to exclaim as it stumbled out of sight, "A crappy Christmas to all, and to all a drunken night." - Joel Warner

China's carbon emissions may peak around 2030
New Delhi: A panel of experts have determined that China's carbon emissions output could peak around 2030 if the government continues to be serious about "strengthened measures" to improve energy efficiency and if it accelerates exploration of renewable energy.
According to the panel from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Development Research Center of the State Council, with the right policies, emissions growth could slow after 2020, with a peak around 2030.
This is the first time a Chinese think-tank has officially announced when it thinks China's carbon emissions will peak.
The international community has closely watched the country's carbon emissions curve because China and the US are the top two carbon emissions countries in the world.
The panel has advised China to invest significantly in low-carbon technology research and development, saying the strategy of developing such technology is "a stone killing two birds".
"Only by using advanced low-carbon technologies can China's greenhouse gas emissions peak around 2030; otherwise, the peak will be delayed and we don't want to see the latter scenario," said Jiang Kejun, a leading economist of the panel.
If the peak happens around 2030, the huge investment in low-carbon technologies could keep China's economy growing at a fast pace and make China a global leader in cutting-edge technologies.
"I think China will become a major supplier of nuclear, wind and hydropower technologies and electricity transmission by 2030," said Jiang. "And that should be a strategic goal for the Chinese government to pursue," he added.
If China can achieve these goals, by 2050, its carbon emissions from fossil fuel "could fall to the same emissions levels as in 2005 or even lower", the report said.
Jiang said that the Chinese government has been "on the right track" in making policy decisions to develop low-carbon technologies as new economic growth engines while countries worldwide are working on a plan by October to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which is set to expire in 2012.

After showing Terry few of my apartments, she decided to rent the one closer to all of the tourist attractions. I explained to her the apartment was more expensive than the rest. The apartment was way over her budget so i offered her the Mikey special and after mulling it over for a few minutes she agreed. Terry hand an amazing slim fit body with a perfect booty that complimented her perky tits. Renato licked and fucked her tight little pussy all over the bed then he blasted her sexy belly with a load of his potent mangoo.

I rarely watch the show anymore but caught it while channel surfing & thought it was pretty good. If only they'd have more guest appearances like that what with the wealth of characters in the DCU.

A unique and extraordinary spiritual teacher and intuitive guide, Sonia Choquette, PhD demonstrates a simple daily tool to connect to your spirit, open your heart and experience healing inside yourself as well as a deeper connection with everyone around you.
Learn more about Sonia Choquette:
Sonia Choquette, PhD, a unique and extraordinary spiritual teacher and intuitive guide, explains why the best way to live a fulfilling life is by expressing your spirit through your mind, your body and your emotional experience.
Sonia Choquette, PhD, a unique and extraordinary spiritual teacher and intuitive guide, is a leading proponent of metaphysical law and the psychic arts. In this video, she reveals why she believes that your real purpose is to create a satisfying life in the way that feels most true for you.
A unique and extraordinary spiritual teacher and intuitive guide, Sonia Choquette, PhD reveals why happiness is contagious and how you become a role model for everyone around you by attending to your own joy and taking full responsibility for your choices, your thoughts and your needs.
Sonia is a world-renowned revolutionary psychic, alchemist, healer, and spirited teacher. She specializes in instantly transforming people's vibration from a five-sensory paradigm of limitation and fear to a six sensory paradigm of creative possibility and personal power, leading others out of the dark ages and into the 21st Century.
A masterful visionary and mystic committed to activating the highest vibrational and intuitive potential in all, she is the best-selling author of eight books published in seventeen countries: The Psychic Pathway (Three Rivers Press), Your Heart's Desire (Three Rivers Press), The Wise Child (Three Rivers Press), True Balance (Three Rivers Press), Your Psychic Pathway to New Beginnings (Clarkson Potter/ Publishers, July 2002), Your Psychic Pathway to Joy (Clarkson Potter Publishers, July 2002), The Diary of a Psychic (Hay House/Publishers July 2003), Trust Your Vibes (Hay House 2004) and numerous audio editions.
Highly trained and apprenticed in both the Psychic Arts and Metaphysical Law, with extensive background in the mysticism of East and West, Sonia was educated at the University of Denver and the Sorbonne in Paris. She then pursued a spiritual education at the American Institute of Holistic Theology aiht.edu resulting in a BA, MS and Ph. D. in Metaphysics , to better advance and reflect her life's work as a psychic and six sensory vibrational teacher. Several of her books are currently being used in the AIHT curriculum. Her best education, however, she insists is her over thirty five years of working "in the trenches" consulting directly with people, and reading for them one-on-one, all over the world.
Sonia says, "I am psychically and creatively empowered because I was encouraged at all times to be awake, aware and guided by my highest potential, my sixth sense, the most direct link to the Divine. I grew up in an environment that recognized psychic awareness not only as natural but essential to successful navigation and creation in life. In our home the sixth sense was considered the first. It is a gift of higher awareness that we all have, that we can all experience, that we can all trust and that we all need!"
Sonia's mission is to awaken the spirit within and evolve people into strong fully empowered six sensory beings with no apologies. Staying away from theory and focusing only on the practical, she successfully guides them in building a solid psychic scaffolding to support their greatest most direct connection with God. She believes that our psychic sense's primary function is to direct our soul's growth and keep us faithful and authentically connected to our path and purpose. Without its direction we fail to succeed.

Gas blast victim Ian Winson is slowly recovering, Steve Kilgallon reports.
At the finish line of the marathon he founded, Ian Winson sits with his sons, handing out medals to every finisher and talking about how running taught him perserverance and determination.
He sees the months and years ahead as another race. The Watercare engineer and endurance-sport enthusiast survived the June explosion in a water pipeline that claimed the life of his colleague Philemon Guilland. He lost both legs and remains in full-time medical care.
"I thought long and hard about how I was going to approach rehabilitation, and it is a marathon; an ultra-marathon; maybe an ultra-ultra-marathon.
"I am faced with a lot of setbacks, but your mind can overcome them. Setbacks are only there if your mind allows them to be."
Winson, who created the Lydiard Legend race which had its seventh edition in West Auckland yesterday, had both legs amputated above the knee following the June 4 blast.
He was kept in a "chemically induced state" for 12 days and wasn't lucid until the 17th day as surgeons conducted a series of operations. He knows he was "touch and go".
He remembers a little of the accident, but won't talk about it until investigations into its cause are complete, and he recalls even less of the days following. He knows that was the hardest time for wife Katherine.
"She saw me at my worst. I don't remember it: I woke up and I was clean and bolted back together, but she saw me that first day. I have no idea the emotions that went through her head. She has spoken to me about it, but the impact on her must have been enormous."
Now he's in an Auckland rehab unit learning to walk again – and yearning to be allowed home.
"I have questioned why this happened to me – but in the end, I can't question it, I've got to accept it," he says. "It's the old saying: shit happens. You just face the world and look forward.
"And people must not forget I didn't lose my life in this. A very close friend of mine [Guilland] did, and my positiveness is a lot to do with her.
"She will always be connected to me because of this and my positive attitude is because I know she wouldn't have wanted me to turn turtle – she wasn't that type of person."
Last Wednesday, he walked a few steps unaided on prosthetic limbs. It requires plenty of core strength, and he's been doing 160 sit-ups a time to prepare, training he says he's actually quite enjoying.
"It is getting easier every day," he says. "It's quite an emotional journey. But it is all about attitude. We will just adapt to doing things differently.
"This is a disability that doesn't mean your life comes to a grinding halt. I just have to do things differently."
His left arm, badly broken, should return to full strength and mobility; his right, which has three plates and 19 screws holding it together (surgeons originally planned to amputate) should reach 90%. Both need further operations. His left middle finger has gone – he refused a fixed replacement because he didn't want to be "giving the finger" every time he clenched his fist.
The family home is being adapted for a likely return next month, and Winson hopes to return to work for Watercare.
Most finishers stop to embrace him. The running community knows Ian Winson, the race is at capacity, and that's got plenty to do with showing respect to him and his recovery.
Winson has ambitions to resume his sporting career. He should be able to swim and cycle, and if he can walk, he can complete a triathlon. "And if I do get a broken leg, it won't take six weeks to fix: it will be two days in a shop."
* This story has been corrected to clarify that Ian Winson was injured in a water pipeline explosion, not an Auckland gas main explosion as first reported.

Devastated father of six-year-old Sandy Hook victim Emilie Parker sobs as his Utah hometown pays tribute to the beautiful little girl at memorial
- Emilie killed by gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday
- Memorial held at Ben Lomond High School in Ogden where her parents met
- Her father Robbie thanked community for its support
- As he released a lantern: 'I love you and you will always be with us'
The father of Sandy Hook victim Emilie Parker broke down in tears on Thursday night as friends, relatives and strangers paid tribute to his blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter in his Utah hometown.
Robbie Parker held a public memorial for his six-year-old daughter at Ben Lomond High School in Ogden, sensing the community wished to give the grieving father and his family their support.
Hundreds of mourners filled the school, with girls wearing pink tops and men in pink ties in a nod to Emilie's favourite colour. Others wore green, the colour uniting those mourning for Sandy Hook.
But one person was notably missing: Friends said Emilie's mother Alissa was still too fragile to appear in public and chose to forego the service to spend time with her two other daughters.
Struggle: Robbie Parker puts his head in his hands after speaking about his daughter at a memorial service
Heartbreak: Robbie sheds a tear at the memorial for his daughter at her memorial service in Ogden, Utah
Just six days earlier, Robbie and Alissa were pictured leaving Sandy Hook Elementary School - Alissa's face creased in pain, Robbie's mouth open in disbelief - after learning that their eldest daughter had been shot dead along with 19 other students and six teachers.
They have now returned with her body to Ogden and a funeral will take place on Saturday. The couple were high school sweethearts in the Utah town before moving to Newtown, Connecticut.
Robbie Parker struggled to control his emotions throughout the memorial service, where a slideshow of Emilie's life was shown and relatives spoke about the young girl, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
'Even though this was a very personal and internal thing for us, I could see it touched everybody,' Robbie told the crowd. 'All of us feel connected to children.'
Loss: Emilie Parker, left and right with her father, lost her life at Sandy Hook Elementary School last week
Happier times: Emilie, right, smiles alongside her parents, Robbie and Allissa, and her two little sisters. Her mother did not attend the memorial as she is still too fragile, friends said
Relatives recalled a girl full of love, compassion, charity and enthusiasm. Her father said she loved to pick flowers - 'like a goat'. He finally told her to limit the picking to dandelions.
'Emilie always wanted to help people feel better,' the family said in an obituary. 'Her compassion and charity was exemplified with her hugs, the cards she would make, and her statement that, "I wish everybody could just be happy".'
Robbie said he was overwhelmed with support from the town and the crowd - many of whom were strangers. He explained how he took one of his daughters on a drive to see pink ribbons in the town.

'I pulled over to show her this one spot that I thought was really pretty,' he said. 'I closed my eyes and I thought about how many people it took to do that. I thought about each hand tying each ribbon.'
Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell added to the family: 'We want to give you the nicest, safest space to put her to rest, and for you to return and know this love here will not die.'

Robbie Parker launched Emilie's lantern, which was pink one, and spoke in Portuguese, which he had been teaching his daughter. 'I love you and you'll always be with us,' he said.

A day after his daughter was killed, Robbie Parker, a 30-year-old physician's assistant, addressed the media to offer his forgiveness to the family of the gunman.
'I'd like to offer our deepest condolences to all the families who were directly affected. It's a horrific tragedy, and our hearts go out to them,' he said, choking back his tears. 'This includes the family of the shooter, and I want you to know that our love and support go out to you as well.'
He went on: 'My daughter Emilie would be one of the first ones giving her love and support to all of the victims, because that's the kind of person she is.

'As the deep pain begins to settle in our hearts, we find comfort in the incredible person Emilie was and how many people she was able to touch in her short time on Earth.'
He also spoke of Emilie's incredible artistic talent, and how she could often be found carrying crayons, markers, and paper to make colorful cards for those having a dark day.
He continued: 'Emilie's laughter was infectious, and everyone who met her would agree that the world was a better place because she was in it.'
