Who says lawyers are materialistic!!
A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Porsche Carrera GT in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along too close to the curb and completely tore off the driver's door.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are,"
he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!"
"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer.

What happens in SIMA is this:
Joe describes one element in this chain as "a tiny microprocessor," you
may think he means a very small one. But it turns out that its
brand-name is TINI—and its capabilities are huge. Joe has
two at work in his lab right now: TINI-1, which connects to his
server at the College, and TINI-2, which sends the signal to
a server in the Czech Republic.
computer code that made the Czech server possible was written
in 2002 by Michael Sands '02, a precocious student who
entered the College at 14 and graduated at 18. (He now works
as an applications programmer for Essent Corp. in Easton.) It
was then fine-tuned by David Skoupil, a former Merrill Scholar
(Czech exchange student) who teaches computer science at Palacky
University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. David returns to Moravian
every summer to work with gifted high school science students
at an educational camp run by Johns Hopkins University at the
now has a small network—just two stations—located
in the eastern Pennsylvania/New Jersey area but would like to
have widely separated stations all over the world. He has worked
with Richard Kroll of the geology/meteorology department of Kean
University, Union, N.J., as a "beta test site" to
check the components and long-distance reliability of the system.
" It works!" Joe says. "Both stations have been online for
more than a year."
October, he and Kroll presented the project at the conference
of the Geological Association of New Jersey, which received it
favorably. An article by Joe and Michael Sands, describing the
project and the software, has been accepted for publication in
the March issue of the Journal of Geoscience Education.
Joe says he is proud that both independent study projects by his students have
been published in professional journals. The project is being continued with
a current student, Tyler Worman '07, who may also factor into the full
story of SIMA whenever it is written.

The Possession Claims Number One Spot At The US Box Office This Weekend
Hebrew horror film The Possession has taken over the number one spot at this weekend's box office. The movie has brought in $17.7 million in North American ticket sales since Friday, and the figure is expected to reach $21.3 million on Monday, according to studio estimates.
The film was inspired by a real life newspaper account of a family that fights a demon known as a Dibbuk in ancient Yiddish folklore.
Starring Kyra Sedgwick, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Madison Davenport, the film tells the story of a young girl who is possessed by a murderous, evil spirit.
Producer Sam Raimi, known for the blockbusting Spiderman trilogy, has described the story as the Jewish answer to The Exorcist.
Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hardy's Lawless came in at number two with $9.7 million, while The Expendables 2 dropped to the number three spot with a total intake of over $66 million.
The Bourne Legacy and ParaNorman round out the top five with $7.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Two major box office milestones also occurred this weekend: The Avengers has officially grossed over $1.5 billion and The Dark Knight Rises has just crossed the $1 billion mark.

Quick hits from a Times Union columnist

Column: Vet to VA, again: 'Please help me'
I wish I could say that my recent column about a disabled World War II veteran made everything better. I wish I could report that the Stratton VA Medical Center did the right thing and changed course. Instead, the Albany hospital has since done even more to upset the 93-year-old who served as a medic […] [Read More]

When Vahan Zarifian lived in New Jersey, the World War II veteran received three weekly home visits from nurses. Funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, they'd stay for two hours and help him accomplish things he can no longer do alone, like bathing and shaving. But since moving to the Capital Region two months […] [Read More]
Voters can end company's political clout
Here's a question for voters in Albany County. Does it bother you that one company has extraordinary influence over county politics? I ask the question after reading two stories from Wednesday's Times Union. The first, by Rob Gavin, detailed how entities associated with BBL Construction Services funneled $26,000 into the re-election campaign of District Attorney […] [Read More]
Column: Downtown improves despite Jillian's exit
My column today looks at the claim by Jillian's owner Ralph Spillenger that his business is closing because downtown has become too dangerous. I disagree with him: With apologies to Spillenger, I just don't buy that a rising fear of crime is keeping more people from downtown, as he claims. It's certainly true that many […] [Read More]

Samara Ceccucci knew something was up. Troy police were obviously looking for somebody. Ceccucci saw two police cars pass, with sirens screaming, as she sat at an intersection in Lansingburgh. Up ahead on 112th Street, one of the cruisers turned right, another turned left. But when the cars were out of sight, Ceccucci proceeded up […] [Read More]

Nadine Kozer is savoring a victory. In April, I told you about Kozer's fight against a parking ticket and tow charge.

But her Honda was gone when she returned from work in the afternoon, replaced […] [Read More]
Thursday column: Kennel owner barks back at town
If you spend time in Stuyvesant, the Columbia County town south of Kinderhook, you may have noticed red signs with the outline of a white dog.

Column: Time, it seems, not on Albany's side
The clocks on the Albany City Hall tower have once again fallen behind, as anyone who listens to Fred Dicker's radio program knows. Do the clocks even matter in an age when clocks are here, there and everywhere? Does anyone actually rely on the City Hall clocks? Is their failure a metaphor for the city […] [Read More]
Update: Albany woman fights ticket — and wins!
Remember Nadine Kozer? She's the Albany resident and state worker who was unfairly ticketed on State Street.

But her Honda was gone when she returned late in the afternoon, […] [Read More]

Talking Points: Do You Pay Attention to Wine Scores?
More and more often, the wine buying experience doesn't involve roving wine lovers suggesting bottles they've tried, or handwritten notes breathlessly extolling each bottle, but instead a printed sign and a number. I've received store pamphlets in the mail that literally only include point ratings and prices, not even bothering to note whose ratings they are. More

Bill, the ID is free and it sounds like the only issue is getting your father to the DMV. If that is the only issue, how does he get to the polls to vote? If he votes right in his nursing home, does the nursing home issue photo IDs? Those would work to vote. It may take a little bit of effort, but I'm sure that your father didn't teach you to rely on others for everything. It's a small sacrifice to bring our elections into modern times.
Actually both the state and federal attorneys general are independent officers and are not under the jurisdiction or control of the chief executive. The Governor or the President may indicate preferences for how the attorney general addresses certain matters, but the attorney general need not follow the suggestions, especially if the suggestions are unlawful.
For those who complain that it violates their rights to have to go get an ID, I suppose it also violates their rights to have to go to a polling place to cast their vote. So, along with eliminating registration, let's just allow people to phone in their vote from the comfort of their home. And no caller ID! No tracking who calls in to vote -- that would be unconstitutional!
willy, all you need to know is that Corbett should get credit for his excellent handling of the Sandusky case.
If it's a passport, I hope the answer is obvious to you. If it's a photo ID from PennDOT, which are issued to non-citizens as well as citizens, it will indicate that they are not citizens and it will expire at the same time that their visa expires.
Because of his illness, Bailey should never be in any courtroom. A more secure facility would be appropriate.
martha, did you have a stroke while typing this? Seriously, read it back to yourself and ask how your handling of the English language impacts your credibility.
The most interesting thing about Bailey is how he has attracted a gullible following, as evidenced by some of the comments here. The guy is known far and wide by attorneys and judges (both liberal and conservative) as being an absolutely terrible attorney. But the people who pay him money to yell and scream and generally do nothing that will ever accomplish anything for them think he's the messiah. I like that he's a family man and loves his wife and kids. But something went wrong in his head a long time ago. Ever since he has brought more frivolous litigation than any lawyer in the state, and his detachment from reality costs his own clients and many governments money in litigation costs.
The problem with updates like this is that they invite non-lawyers like distcoach2 to play Judge Judy and predict what's going to happen. If there is a guilty plea, you better believe that the AG's Office and/or Judge Cleland will insist upon a colloquy in which Sandusky will have to admit to conduct giving rise to the charges. The only way we will never know his side of the story is if the case goes to trial and he decides not to testify.
Did you say this about the Obama presidency when his Chief of Staff (and several top economic advisers) jumped ship during his first term?
Hopeless, I do not necessarily disagree with you, but you don't know much about lobbying on the state level if you think that the sprinkler companies even hold a candle to the home builders. They pump a LOT of money into lobbying and campaign contributions. In any event, the biggest supporter of mandatory sprinklers in residences is the firefighter community. They have to run into a house not knowing if a floor will collapse. That would be avoided with sprinklers. RaisinCane raises a valid point about retrofitting old houses, but that was never going to be the law -- only new construction.
It was never supposed to be in the first place, at least as far as the government is concerned. The founders wanted freedom from Christian zealots.
I don't even think you believe this snarky comment or that her husband's position affected the sentencing guidelines. If you do believe that, well, maybe you should have studied harder in high school.
Actually, I think you're the only one making that comparison. Way to shoehorn a jab at Republicans into the article, though.
If by "justice," you mean an acquittal or withdrawal of charges, then I agree with you. The prosecutor bowed to public pressure and the charges are an offense against justice. It is very funny how the liberal narrative about this incident has crumbled as facts came to light, but Zimmerman is now tragically the victim of an ongoing mob mentality.
Murphy is a member of the PA Bar. The issue is that he took the bar exam in another state and became a member of the PA Bar without taking the PA exam. Attorneys do that all the time, but apparently it concerns some people. I would be much more concerned about his lack of prosecution experience in PA courts. Or civil experience in PA courts. Or any experience in PA courts.
Either Freed or Kane would be very good candidates for AG based on their experience in PA courts.
That was Boyd Big Tree. They put up signs saying not to walk your dog off leash. Fortunately, everyone ignores those signs.
They're sending the bill directly to you, cd3, just to make you angry. "OUR TAX DOLLARS!!"
Ken Lee is the smartest guy in the area. Just ask him, he'll tell you.
What's a "fraudulent jail"?
Don't worry, Celtic, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

"You've been here before, but things are about to change. I know it. I feel it. There's a storm on the way." -- Stephen King
Winston's a great name for him. Go for it. Pearl'll have a cow, but she'll tell kitteh to eff off and establish who Queen Cat is. And all will be well. He will be traumatized but you will be Big Save The Day Human, and you will be his heroine.
Kitten version of slap your head emoticon
The Winston has landed! Grampa Aaron was going nuts, overrun by cats. He's got a studio apartment and 6 kittehs! Now he has 5. He asked me yesterday if he could bring Winston home to us last night and I said, well.... I'm not really ready yet but.... YES!
Winston's first night at home. (In my slippers.)
Winston's first morning on my desk chair.
I tried to get a picture of Pearl but she gave me the finger and won't have any picture taking. She is doing a lot better than I expected though. She is growling and hissing when he gets too close but she sits close to him when he's sleeping and hasn't tried to beat him up. I have to go to work today and leave them alone.
I suppose I'll lock him up in my bedroom with his mini-poo box and his wee kitteh foods. God he's a doll. He slept with me last night and purred me to sleep.
I believe Fred did a good job picking him our for us. Thank you Freddy Pants.
Last edited by Patricia A; April 5th, 2013 at 10:35 AM. Reason: Spelling fail.
This is a terrible picture but here's Pearl watching the tiny Winnie Man playing. Only low rumbling from her, no tail swishing, that's good.
I need to start getting ready for work. I toyed with the idea of calling in with a case of kitteh-fever but I am sure that would be heartily frowned upon at the Bookmine. Understandable but still sad.
Pats, I love him! Winston is a fine wee man and I think Pearl is going to come around very quickly. Congratulations, Mama!

Ray could find a solution
with Four Stars in 2014
by STACY SOBOTKAChallenges are coming for Ray Township in 2014.
Observer Special Writer
"The big issue is the charter territory consent judgment," said Township Supervisor Charlie Bohm.
Bohm refers to a consent judgment handed down by the Macomb County Circuit Court in October, giving developer Four Stars LLC the chance to develop 84 acres of property north of 26 Mile Road and east of Hayes Road. The township received a lawsuit shortly afterwards, due to the fact that it owned the property for years but was not notified that it was rezoned for mobile home or "affordable income" housing as required by state law. The rezoning was done as part of an update of the Ray Township Master Plan in 2011.
Both sides were ordered to sit down and find a solution before going to trial.
"We got together and tried to hammer out an agreement," said Bohm. "We were always going to stick with the original zoning. It was just a matter of coming up with an agreement on what would be the compromise to build on the site."
Bohm said that this would be the biggest development in the township's history, with 495 multiple dwellings planned.
"It builds taxable dwellings on the site and works for both sides based on the zoning," he said. "We worked on this for 10 months with planners, engineers, and legal counsel and it is fine for us."
The Community Development Block Grant Fund (CDBG) is another issue for the township.
"We have a $90,000 grant coming this year that we have to figure out how to use," said Bohm.
Police services are also a concern. "Our services have been cut back by the (Macomb County) Sheriff's Office over the last five years. We've asked (County Commissioner) Don Brown to help get some services restored. It's not been very successful."
Bohm said those were the primary concerns of the township.
"Other than that, it's business as usual," he said.
Ray Township's Recreation Department has plenty in the works for 2014.
There will be a day trip to Greektown Casino on Jan. 18. There is a $5 reservation fee, and the trip includes bus transportation, a $20 casino incentive, and five and a half hours at the casino. Participants must be 21 or older to go on the trip.
On Jan. 25, there is a day trip to Kalahari Waterpark Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. At least 30 participants are required for the trip to take place. Cost is $35 for residents, $45 for non-residents and $10 for those under age three.
For those who love bowling, on March 1 is Bowling with SpongeBob Squarepants at Summit Sports Center in Washington. From 2-4:30 p.m., bowlers will enjoy two games of bowling, and prizes will be available throughout the day. The fees are $6 for residents, $7 for non-residents. Those who register after February 26 must add an additional $3 per person.
March 7 will be a day for wine lovers, as there will be an evening at the Filipo Marc Winery in Clinton Township, followed by a Caribbean cocktail party at Bahama Breeze in Troy. Cost is $45 per person, $65 for non-residents. Participants must be 21 and up.

J-M advances, Northwood ousted in 3rd round of states
Northwood coach Cameron Vernon wasn't sure what kind of team he had after losing 80 percent of his scoring from a 26-4 squad a year ago.
What he ended up with was a team that was a few shots away from the East Regional semifinals. After a valiant comeback effort, Vernon's Chargers fell 65-57 to Kinston on Friday night in the third round of the NCHSAA 2A State Tournament.
"That's a really good team out there," Vernon said of Kinston. "They've got an inside game, they've got an outside game, they've got a dynamic point guard. You have to play flawless in these types of games, and our shots didn't fall tonight, bottom line."
While Northwood made only 2 of 18 shots from three-point range, missing all seven attempts in the fourth quarter, Kinston (24-4) drained seven three-pointers. Monique Lofton made four three-pointers to lead the Vikings with 15 points, while Anshonee Addison and Alexis Williams scored 13 each and Brittany Drumgoole added 11.
Jasmine Atkins led all scorers with 22 points, while Shontai Totten scored 19 for the Chargers (24-5).
Kinston led most of the night, grabbing a 55-43 lead with 5:20 to play on a back-door layup by Addison.
Suddenly, though, Northwood went on a tear to make a game of it. Atkins scored on a driving basket, Totten on a fast break, Atkins on a follow and Jasmine Harris on another fastbreak to cut the lead to four. The 8-0 run happened in just over a minute, and the Charger crowd was on its feet.
"We've done this before when we've played really good teams," Vernon said. "We've come back and fought, so that's what we kept preaching: 'We're going to come back; we're going to come back.'"
But the Chargers couldn't come all the way back, missing six three-pointers in the final three minutes.
"We're not a three-point shooting team, but that was what was given to us," Vernon said. "They ran a box-and-one on Shontai and really took Shontai out of it. Gabby (Mehringer) and Lexi (Brower) can make shots. Just tonight, those weren't falling."
Kinston sank 8 of 12 free throws in the final 1:22 to hold on. After the game, Vernon already was looking forward to the 2013-14 season, when Northwood moves to the 3A Carolinas 8 Conference. He will have three starters returning — Totten, Atkins and Jasmine Harris — as the Chargers move up.
"I was asked at the beginning of the season what did I expect," Vernon said. "I said, 'I don't know, but I really like this team.' We lost 80 percent of our scoring from last year on a 26-4 team, and this (season) we're 24-5. That says a lot about those girls.
"They really stepped up. They have a lot of heart and they have a great work ethic. The future is bright. We're going to have a real challenge going into that 3A Carolinas 8 next year. It's going to be fun but challenging at the same time."

In an effort to boost the state's economy Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing to cut the price of hunting and fishing licenses.
The price for a fishing license for New Yorkers would decrease from $29 to $25 and the license would be valid for a full year instead of expiring at the end of the season.
Proposed budget amendments for the 2013-2014 fiscal year would cut the annual hunting license fee from $29 to $22.
There are nearly 1.9 million licensed fishermen and about 823,000 hunters in the state that generates $8.1 billion in economic activity.

July 30, 2015
4-30-06 - BEEVILLE, Texas (AP) Some residents of Beeville, Texas, are doubting the wisdom of the county board's call for a boycott of oil giant Exxon Mobil.
Bee County's highest elected official says the boycott, which starts tomorrow, will continue until gas is down to one dollar-30 cents a gallon.
As Judge Jimmy Martinez puts it, "just because they have a license doesn't mean that they can rob."
Opponents note that oil and gas taxes fund much of Bee County's budget. And they say a boycott could end up harming mom-and-pop gas stations whose main profits are not from oil.
County Commissioner Susan Stasny, the only dissenter on the board, says even though everyone's concerned about the price of gasoline, "the oil and gas industry has been very kind to Bee County."
A Beeville Bee-Picayune poll showed 72 percent of those surveyed plan to participate in the boycott.

NEW YORK (AP) — The author of the children's classic "Sarah, Plain and Tall" is teaming up with an acclaimed illustrator for a tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook school shootings.

The book comes out Nov. 12 and will feature words and images about the Connecticut community where a gunman killed 20 elementary school students and six faculty members. The publisher will donate a portion of proceeds to an organization that helps the Sandy Hook community.

GERD and Pyloric Stenosis
What can you tell me about GERD or pyloric stenosis?Answer
In pyloric stenosis, the valve at the bottom of the stomach grows too tight so that liquid comes shooting back up. It is far less common than GERD. The classic thing with pyloric stenosis is projectile vomiting, where it also shoots out away from the body, but not all kids with pyloric stenosis have this (or vice versa). But the one thing most of these kids have in common is that the vomiting is progressive. It occurs more and more often over time, usually immediately after a feeding, but not necessarily after all feedings. It usually starts after 3 weeks of age, but can begin anywhere up to 5 months. It is most common in firstborns, especially firstborn boys.
There are some nonmedical solutions that some people try, such as sitting the baby up at a 45-degree angle or thickening the formula, but these solutions have not been proven and have not been adequately studied. Giving smaller, more frequent feedings makes good sense and is reported by many doctors and parents to have made a difference, but there has not been a good study of this yet, either.
An AR formula is an easy thing to try. Enfamil AR adds some rice without changing the number of calories kids get. It goes down thin then thickens in the stomach. Carnation Good Start, with its partially hydrolyzed proteins, has been able to show that the formula goes through the stomach quicker (improved gastric emptying time) but they have not done the studies to show decreased reflux.

Staff Favorites
|If you're going to have Robert Parker or Stephen Tanzer over for dinner, selecting a wine they've rated highly will be a nice choice. However, when you're buying wines for yourself, we'd love to see you find wines that match up your unique palate and pocketbook. We have a large staff of friendly and knowledgeable wine professionals that taste hundreds of wines each week. They can put you in touch with bottles that you are likely to love, often at a much lower cost than the highly-rated gems that often see a run-up in price and frequent availability issues. Like any great group of opinionated professionals, our staff has varied tastes themselves. Often our customers will find a particular staff member with a style that corresponds to their own. That concept works extremely well in our retail stores, and this section is our effort to bring you the same online. Don't get us wrong, we love the highly rated wines from the press and will continue to offer them, but we think you're missing out if you're not augmenting those selections with picks from our excellent staff. Here are their favorites. (Click on a name to see their other selections - or to drop them a line.) Cheers!
2010 Viña Real Crianza Rioja
By: Joe Manekin | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
Viña Real Crianza for under $12? Si, porfa! This bright, red fruited crianza is a good example of vintage (a very good, fresh one in 2010), house style (fruit forward yet never excessively so) and region (a lot of the fruit still comes from Rioja Alavesa). If you're looking for an inexpensive, classically inspired Rioja to buy in quantity, Viña Real is your wine.
Price: $12.99
2010 Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino
By: Dulcinea Gonzalez | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
Sourced from some of Montalcino's finest terroir, Collosorbo's fragrantly potent Brunello displays all the structure, richness and grace that the revered 2010 vintage promises. Collosorbo shares a bounty of complexity beginning with a fresh, bright, juicy attack and then flows into layers of black cherry, dried roses, and leather. Sexy, decadent and precise, you'll want to put this one on your "must buy" list pronto before they sell out!
Price: $46.99
2014 Rocca di Montegrossi Rosato
From Rocca di Montegrossi and simply put, their best effort yet! This robust rosato has a light salmon pink color and fascinating aromas of ripe wild mountain strawberries, and I found a hint of mandarin zest. It's fresh and lingering on the palate with a very dry finish.
Price: $15.95
2013 Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino
This is drinking GREAT ! right now and will over the next couple of years (but only if you can keep your hands off it and keep some in the cellar). Here is a wine that packs a wallop and lots of bang for your buck all in one! Give this rosso about an hour to open up and stand back, on the palate you will find strawberries and black cherries, a little bitter coco and some toasty oak & vanilla, fine tannins and a hint of Montalcino dust on the long finish.
Price: $22.99
2012 Riecine Chianti Classico
I just opened this for our staff tasting and this little "Chianti" stop the show, with lots of kudos from my colleges. This Sangiovese has lots of bang for the buck (or EURO). Medium –bodied with dark fruit, good acidity and a really long finish. This is the perfect Chianti to serve, while you're Bar-B-queing.
Price: $24.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Charnay
While I've been a fan of the Solutre' from Renaud over the years the last two vintages I prefer the Charnay,its mineral driven center perfectly balances the wine's supple mouth feel and has a distinct and focused finish.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $13.99
2013 Duane Coates Chardonnay Adelaide Hills
Another profound white wine offering from Coates is his Chardonnay. Again coming from the cool Adelaide Hills region, this was barrel fermented in 70% new French barriques with wild yeast and went through full malo-lactic fermentation. The wine stayed on it lees without stirring to create texture while keeping its natural acidity. Aromas of lemon blossom, peach, almond, minerals, light toast and a hint of ginger give this a Meursault-like character. The palate is layered and rich yet has a superb acid line that gives intensity and drive to the long persistent finish.
Price: $19.99
2013 Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino
Those nose if full of spice, wild Tuscan brush, wild cherry and bits of leather all couched in a plumy perfume. On the palate the wine, while luscious, forms around a long vibrant core that lifts the spice, earth and wild cherry flavors. The finish is long and superbly balanced, I can't wait for this wine to age another 3-5 years, but it's really hard not to want to drink this wine now.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $22.99
2013 Duane Coates Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills South Australia
I'm a huge fan of this wine. 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc from the cool Adelaide Hills region was barrel fermented in new and 1 year old Sequin-Moreau with native yeast and then matured for 9 months. The nose is complex with light toast/brioche, lemon blossom. jasmine flower and a subtle nutty character. On the palate there is generous texture, vibrant acidity and excellent length. There's a lot of detailed winemaking here for a wine at this price. 200 cases made.
Price: $15.99
2013 Poggio Antico Rosso di Montalcino
This is a full-bodied, richer style wine from Poggio Antico, their vineyards are amongst the highest in Montalcino and the ripeness of the 2013 vintage comes through. On the palate the wine is full of plumy richness still with the classic Sangiovese length to balance it. The finish is broad, richly texured and continues that plumy notes adding in a back of leather and spice.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $34.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Charnay
By: Trey Beffa | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
The Macon Charnay is another winner from Domaine Pascal & Mireille Renaud. All of their 2014 whites are extremely fresh, pure and clean. The Macon Charnay shows hints of tropical fruit, with excellent mid-palate richness followed by a crisp, mineral driven finish. Very solid wine for the money!
Price: $13.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Pouilly-Fuissé "Cuvée Vieilles Vignes"
Beautiful nose of fresh lychee and candied ginger which seamlessly leads into a palate awash of citrus and stone fruits all nicely framed by good acidity and minerality, a great Pouilly-Fuisse that over-delivers given its modest price.
Top Value!
Price: $19.99
2014 Domaine Renaud St-Véran
By: Trey Beffa | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
Great value! The 2014 Renaud Saint Veran shows super creamy and rich upfront fruit, which is followed by flavors of pear, coconut, Asian spice and fresh green apples. This is a wonderfully fresh and lively expression of Chardonnay, which drinks more like a Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley. Excellent food wine.
Price: $18.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Solutré
Loads of fresh peaches jump from the glass with an exotic-laden palate of tropical fruit flavors such as papaya, mango, guava along with golden delicious apples. Full-bodied with an elegant feel this pretty wine is the perfect summer sipper that won't break the bank.
Top Value!
Price: $13.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Charnay
A sexy wine with a seductive nose of lime blossoms and Georgia peaches with a palate that showcases Asian pears, guava and a touch of mango all nestled against good acidity, minerality and just a hint of toasty oak. This medium-bodied wine display excellent balance and has a creamy, rich feel. Ideal for the Chardonnay fan that wants a French twist.
Top Value!
Price: $13.99
2014 Domaine Renaud St-Véran
Really pretty nose that displays hints of white flowers, wild jasmine and green figs. On the palate there is great energy and verve with excellent acidity and laser beam like focus of green apples and citrus fruits as well as great minerality and hints of wet stone. This wine is delicious, and is a screaming value!!
Top Value!
Price: $18.99
2012 Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino
The nose....The nose of this wine is just tremendous, savory, salty, umami laced aromatics grab your attention immediately. On the palate the wine is full and expands to all corners but the flavors OMG, this is great Sangiovese for the price. So many flavor facets, earth, spice, umami with hints of leather, porcini. The finish is amazing a combination of flavors that is just incredible, I'm personally buying a case to put down for another 5-6 years, but am going to drink a fair amount in the meantime!
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $27.99
2014 Ruggeri Corsini Langhe Bianco
This well balanced wine comes from Piedmont's Langhe region not often known for whites but with more examples like this there is a future! The nose is a complex blend of floral and herbal that pool above the glass. On the palate you immediately notice the Chardonnay's weight and richness but then the wines fresh acidity lifts and lengthens the wine's mouth-feel. A long finish with hints of Sauvignon and floral. Perfect for richer fish dishes like Branzino or a creamy pasta.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $14.99
2011 Zerran Tinto Montsant
By: Heather Vander Wall | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
A lot of wine for the price! A blend of Garnacha, Carignan and Syrah, this Montsant shows a full, dark-fruited body with chocolate and coffee undertones. A surprising, savory, animal note plays nicely off the black pepper accent from the Syrah, and the whole is softened by a kiss of oak.
Price: $9.99
2011 Sons of Eden "Kennedy" GSM Barossa Valley
Sons of Eden has an extensive source of fruit coming from six different sub-regions in the Barossa Valley. While they supply some fruit to others, you know that they select the best for their own label. Winemaker Corey Ryan (Henschke) and viticulturist Simon Cowham (Yalumba) cut their teeth in the Barossa sub-region Eden Valley, hence the name Sons of Eden. Truly a fine team, they bring the pedigree and finesse from their experience. Made from 39% Grenache, 37% Shiraz and 24% Mourvedre, the "Kennedy" offers a classic blend from this challenging vintage. The bouquet is lifted with a more red fruited character that shows plum, mullberry, earth, leather and a hint of winter mint. On the palate, the wine is supple with fine, seamless tannins with a ferrous dusty cumin spice note and a dash of milk chocolate Fine acidity supports the overall balance with good drive and length.
Price: $19.99
2012 John Duval "Eligo" Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia
One of Barossa's most iconic wines. This is the best-of-the-best Shiraz, from one of the best winemakers in Australian history, from some of the best vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, in the best vintage for many many years. That's a lot of BESTS! A wine of immense power, richness and concentration but also grace, purity and balance. Accessible now but also built for longevity. The BEST of both worlds!
Drink from 2016 to 2016
Price: $79.99
Pascal Lallement "Brut Reserve" Champagne
This tasty, Pinot Noir driven, grower Champagne comes from the not-often-imported Petite Mountain of Reims. It is an excellent aperitif!
Price: $44.99
2009 Louis Roederer Brut Rosé Champagne
While the 2009 vintage is a softer one, this is not a soft wine. The Chouilly Chardonnay provided plenty of cut for the rich pate, and had us coming back for more. The flavors in this wine ran almost too strawberry shortcake- rich, ripe, dark fruit and lovely bready depth. But again, the laser beam Chouilly Chardonnay snapped it into very dry focus. This is bottle is a real treat. I hope you'll treat yourself to one as well.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $69.99
Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé Champagne
The famous yellow label- now offered in pink.
Price: $59.99
2013 Felton Road "Calvert" Pinot Noir Central Otago (Biodynamic)
Always the most compact, dense and brooding of Felton's single vineyards bottlings. Tightly wound, powerful, structured and built for the long haul. Having said this, the 2013 is one of the more accessible young "Calvert" bottlings I have had to date and it showed that way even when tasting from barrel in 2014. The wine really shows the purity and pedigree of what has been described at NZ first Pinot Noir Grand Cru site.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $49.99
2013 Felton Road "Bannockburn" Pinot Noir Central Otago (Biodynamic)
Very interesting that multiple critics scored this bottling from Felton Rd higher than the single vineyard wines it is composed from. This is a true reflection of what Mike and Blair mean when they say..."we don't do anything different in making the single vineyards than the Bannockburn" and also a great example of the fact that sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I personally love the single vineyards for their unique and consistent expression of the vineyard sites and representation of meso climates even within a sub-region, however I can see how the Bannockburn bottle is more immediately accessible and gratifying. The 2013 is quite forward, deep, dusty, dark red fruits, wild thyme, warm earth, toasted exotic spices. Great palate weight and ripe tannins. As with many of the Felton wines, and probably representative of their terroir, I love the supple mouth feel from the heavy silts and clays of Bannockburn, underpinned by the more compact layered finish of the underlying schist, a great combination of accessibility and softness combined with focus and drive on the back. Since we do great business with Felton Road every year, we have seriously competitive pricing on this wine.
Drink from 2015 to 2015
Price: $39.99
2011 Sons of Eden "Kennedy" GSM Barossa Valley
The answer to many critics and even some winemakers who have written off the 2011 vintage in South Australia. The vintage was one of the coldest and wettest on record with weather more like Seattle than Adelaide! However Simon and Corey have crafted a wine that is a shinning representation their grape growing / wine making skills and the ability of Barossa to produce incredibly delicious wines that are fresh, vibrant and a million miles away stylistically from the jammy, sweet fruit bombs that people often associate with the region. Never ones to make over-the-top wines anyway, the cards that mother nature dealt Simon and Cory in 2011 made them focus on purity and balance over bulk and brawn. This wine has fantastic purity of fruit and lovely ripe berry flavors, bramble fruit, loganberry. It also has sweet spice, black pepper and hint of bloody steak. The wine is so supple and silky on the palate with super fine tannins and bright but soft acidity. The old vine (50+ yrs) origins of this wine show up on the finish with a lovely rocky, soil driven complexity adding yet another element to this complex wine. This has all the purity of fruit I want from Barossa with the layers and complexity I seek in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A really great bottle I implore you to try. Phenomenal value at $19.99!

2005 Bodegas Casa Juan Señor de Lesmos Reserva Rioja
By: Andrew Stevens | Review Date: 8/4/2015 | Send Email
This wine at this price almost seems to be a mistake. Beautiful and balanced the wine greets the nose with ripe dark fruit and hints of smoke and chocolate. The pallet is full and lush with a little tobacco spice blending into the ripe berry notes. Fine tannins complement the body and lead to an excellent lingering finish. A delicious rioja from an amazing year and at a price that allows you to drink a few.

2013 Valle dell'Acate "Il Frappato" Vittoria
By: Diana Turk | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
I was looking for a Southern Italian wine to pair with penne arrabbiata for an al fresco dinner and this fit the bill perfectly. I'm not even going to specify summer dining since this beauty would be welcome any time of year. Light-bodied with complexity and fresh berry notes, Frappato stands up to spicy foods and strong cheeses but maintains an easy-going quality. Herbal and gorgeous slightly chilled, this dry red is interesting without overwhelming. A winner.

2013 Banshee Sonoma County Pinot Noir
By: Mahon McGrath | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
The 2013 leads with a nose redolent of low key cherry fruit accented by earth, tar, and dark cocoa powder. The palate adds dried orange peel, pine, cranberry, strawberry-rhubarb, and cinnamon and other spices, with the earthy dimension expressing itself as baked clay. Throughout, the dusty fruit character is never over played. While the mid-palate has just a bit of heft to it, and the finish is supple and creamy, there is nothing approaching over-ripe here, and the oak keeps a low profile, which, at this price, makes this fully dimensional Pinot Noir a hard bargain to beat.
Price: $22.99
2010 Antadze Mtsvane Republic of Georgia
This Mtsvane has a beautiful orange hue due to skin contact and aromas of apple cider, walnuts and dried apricots with salinity and kumquat on the palate. Yes, this is an "orange wine" and it's perfect for warm weather and deserves food; try it with Mediterranean cuisine.
Price: $23.99
2014 Argyros Estate "Atlantis" White Cyclades
Argyros Estate is a 4th generation family owned winery and they own some of the oldest vineyards on the island. This blend bursts with orange blossom, crushed stone, tangerine and white flowers. With zippy acidity and a fuller body, this wine can be drank on its own or with or with light fare.
Price: $16.99
2013 Hatzidakis Assyrtiko Santorini
The Hatzidakis is 100% Assyrtiko and 100% awesome. It's less citrus driven than some Assyrtikos can be with notes of pear, nectarine, granny smith apples, almonds and chalky minerality. Try this with grilled whole fish, simply prepared.
Price: $17.99
2013 Domaine Les Poëte Quincy
Domaine Les Poëte is a small winery with only 6 hectares spread throughout the central vineyards of Loire. The winemaker is a chef turned sommelier turned winemaker, making a Quincy that rivals the best of Sancerre. This bottle is stellar, it had all the staff here smitten. With aromas of smoke, baked apple pie and honeysuckle, and a palate of pear, nectarine, flint and mineral-driven finish that just won't quit. This should be your new go-to summer wine paired with fish, veggies or goat cheese.
Price: $28.99
2014 Domaine Renaud Mâcon-Charnay
The Renaud Macon wines are always some of the best value wines at K&L. For me the Solutre has always been my favorite, but over the last to vintages the Charnay has just shined. A little more fruit, a touch more texture, more zip and a slightly longer finish. Buy both, but if you can only have buy one, get the Charnay.
Price: $13.99
2013 Dr. Randolf Kauer Oberweseler Oelsberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken Alte Reben
In the upper middle Rhine valley, which is an UNESCO world heritage site, family estate Weingut Dr. Randolf Kauer farms 3.5 hectares of vines on steep slate ridden slopes. The Dr. Randolf Kauer Riesling Spatlese Trocken is truly terroir driven with aromas of lemon zest, orange blossom and pear, with a palate of tree-fruits, lemon and searing high, juicy acidity.
Price: $26.99
2014 Lake Chalice "The Nest" Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand
A delicious Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. With plenty of riper fruit notes and a touch of minerality and just a faint whiff of something herbal. A versatile everyday white.

2012 Jacques Bavard Auxey-Duresses "Les Clous"
By: Jeff Garneau | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
Lightly floral with hints of toasty oak. Crisp, clean and bright in expression. Citrus and stone fruit notes - lemon oil and peach pit. Delicious Chardonnay from one of the best of our direct imports. Superb value.
Price: $27.99
2013 Varner "Amphitheater Block-Spring Ridge Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
I'm not scared to say it, and I have many times, out loud, to real people. I think the Varner Chardonnays are some of the best, if not the best, Chardonnays made in the United States. These wines are still way under the radar to most wine fans due to their small production, out of the way location-high in the hills above Portola Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and stylistic choices. But for all of us lucky enough to have tasted these wines vintage after vintage we can't help but feel this way. The wines are just too good, with pinpoint precision, amazing complexity, and little "wine making" to get in the way of the amazing raw materials they put into each and every bottle they make. The 2013 "Amphitheater Block" stunned me with how fleshed out it was. Typically the Amphitheater is always the most strict, linear, mineral driven wine under the Varner label. However this year there is a pleasing nutty generosity to the nose and a very deep set richness on the palate that just wasn't there in previous vintages. (The Varner's attest this to the vineyard block maturing rather than any changes in the cellar, of which there were none.) Cashew, almond skin, dried apple and nectarine mesh on the complex and intriguing nose. Bright and citrusy on entry with layers of mineral and earth over tangerine, pomelo and lemon pith this has a subtle creaminess and fleshes out with a pretty floral bitterness at its edges.

2014 Domaine Renaud St-Véran
By: Christie Brunick | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
Absolutely my top favorite of all our Direct Import Burgundy producers, because year after year, Domaine Renaud consistently over-delivers quality for the price! Which is hard to find in Burgundy, and if you're a Burgundy connoisseur you already know this! The Saint Veran is the most seamless and elegant of the bunch, with a freshness about it that the Pouilly-Fuissé lacks because of its heavier use of oak. The Saint Veran is full of flavor but not new oak. Gorgeous texture and layers of stone fruit, zesty minerality, and balanced acid that makes it perfect with food. It has the brightness of a Chablis but not the ultra tartness on the finish. It carries itself so elegantly you will fall in love, over and over again with every sip!
Price: $18.99
San Venanzio Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut
Clean pear fruit backed by fairly intense minerality. There is way more wine in this bottle of bubbles than you would expect from a Prosecco at this price point.

2013 Varner "Bee Block-Spring Ridge Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
I'm not scared to say it, and I have many times, out loud, to real people. I think the Varner Chardonnays are some of the best, if not the best, Chardonnays made in the United States. These wines are still way under the radar to most wine fans due to their small production, out of the way location-high in the hills above Portola Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and stylistic choices. But for all of us lucky enough to have tasted these wines vintage after vintage we can't help but feel this way. The wines are just too good, with pinpoint precision, amazing complexity, and little "wine making" to get in the way of the amazing raw materials they put into each and every bottle they make. The 2013 "Bee Block," long the favorite block of most of our local customers, is Bee Block at its finest. I don't know if it is the suggestion of the name, or if the name came from the suggestion, but there is always a honeyed quality to this wine. Never sweet of course but more of an exotic, spiced, ripeness that the other blocks just don't have. Build on top of that aromas of anise seed/fennel, jasmine blossoms, talc and a delicate marzipan note and this is one aromatic wine. The heftiest of the bunch this has layers of rich flavors like crème brulee, peach pit, egg custard and apricot however it never feels flat or blousy. It's quite the contrary one the finish full of Meyer lemon, wet stone and fresh alfalfa rolls around. But never does that honey quality subside and I'm glad it doesn't, it's the true tell of this stunning wine.

2014 Domaine Dragon Côtes de Provence Rosé
By: Christie Brunick | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
Simply the best Provencal rosé I've tasted under $15 all year! Or for the past few years for that matter. This boutique producer we just started importing delivers everything you could want in a Provence rosé and more! Gorgeous light salmon color, dry, crisp, mineral driven, subtle fruit undertones of grapefruit pitch, pomelo rind, even a touch of white nectar and strawberry seed. Super light and refreshing, perfect pool-side sipper for the long summer ahead! If you're looking for a food pairing try it with a summer salad of prosciutto, melon, and burrata! Yum!

2013 Von Strasser "Rudy" Paicines Pinot Noir
By: Dulcinea Gonzalez | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
Here's a new super-value favorite! I love luxury on the cheap, and this is exactly what Rudy is -- totally affordable, but displaying moments of grandeur. Sourced from Paicines AVA next to the Gabilan Mountain range, this fruit benefits from the cool winds coming of the Monterey Valley. Rudy is richly aromatic and exudes the scent of pepper and fresh boysenberries. Showing layers of luscious, succulent, bright ripe black cherry/ raspberry fruit and allspice, this Pinot packs a punch with fine tannins and a lengthy finish. Delicious stuff!
Price: $19.99
2013 Neely "Holly's Cuvée-Spring Ridge Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
I'm not scared to say it, and I have many times, out loud, to real people. I think the Varner Chardonnays are some of the best, if not the best, Chardonnays made in the United States. These wines are still way under the radar to most wine fans due to their small production, out of the way location-high in the hills above Portola Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and stylistic choices. But for all of us lucky enough to have tasted these wines vintage after vintage we can't help but feel this way. The wines are just too good, with pinpoint precision, amazing complexity, and little "wine making" to get in the way of the amazing raw materials they put into each and every bottle they make. So what does that have to do with Neely you may ask? Well the Neely Chardonnays are from the same blocks, the same finished wines actually, but instead of single block expressions you get the sum of the amazing parts by blending them together. The 2013 "Holly's Cuvee" is a wild wine, one where you can see the personality of the single blocks but you get to experience them transforming into something entirely new. The honeyed nose of Bee Block is wildly apparent on the nose but it also has the subtle nuttiness of Amphitheater. Linear and streamlined like the Home Block on the palate this is brisk and full of mouthwatering acid and tons of exotic citrus tones. It is a wine that encapsulates all that is this property, these people and the greatness of these wines. Sadly we get the least of this, comparatively speaking. But that's OK, a little will go a long way here.

2011 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva
By: Jeff Garneau | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
A perennial favorite here at K&L. I have enjoyed this traditional Chianti year after year. I am still enjoying the last few bottles of a case of the 2004 vintage, and recently purchased a case of the 2010 to lay down for a few years. This 2011 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva is a bit more "user friendly" as Guido would say. Those who prefer not to wait will love the extra ripeness the 2011 vintage has yielded. Soft & round, sweet & ripe, yet with the bright red fruits and spice notes one usually associates with this most traditional of Chiantis. Classic Sangiovese. Superb value.
Price: $18.99
2014 Zudugarai "Amats" Rosé Getariako Txakolina
My first experience with a Txakolina Rose and I am a huge fan. It's ight and crisp, with fantastic minerality, and a little effervescence makes this rosé perfect for long summer afternoons. There exists a lovely elegance to this wine and an almost floral finish. I have read that this Txakolina is consumed like water where this is from and I can readily believe it. I find myself looking for more reasons to have people over so I can bring home a couple bottles of this.
Price: $12.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Pinot Noir Marlborough
More and more I appreciate New Zealand Pinot Noir and this one is one of the best. Ripe berry immediately captures the palate with tastes of cherry and raspberry. The body holds wonderful weight and just the right amount of light woody ending. Everything about this Pinot works and the finish leaves you wanting more.
Price: $26.99
2014 Eric Cottat Sancerre
This is one of our top Sancerre and upon tasting the reason becomes abundantly evident. This 100% Sav Blanc that we import directly is perfectly balanced and delightfully drinkable. The body is round and and clean with hints of lemon and melon. Acid drives the wine forward without ever overwhelming the palate, finishing dry and delectable. This Sancerre is light enough for the afternoon, weighty enough for dinner, and tasty enough for the close of day.
Price: $18.99
2012 Tormaresca "Neprica" Puglia
By: Ivan Diaz | Review Date: 8/3/2015 | Send Email
I've been drinking this value-priced stunner consistently for the last 8 vintages or so. It is one of the most reliable and affordable bottles I've come across in my ten years in the wine business, showing a deep, rich fruit profile supported by spice and a hearty structure. This is extremely versatile with food, but also an impossibly easy sipper on its own.
Price: $9.99

The Ipswich sixth form college at the centre of a heated row over plans for a three-day school week for students with learning disabilities may perform a dramatic U-turn, the Star has learnt.
One, formerly known as Suffolk One, has faced pressure to drop controversial plans of moving from a five-day school week for pupils with profound or moderate learning difficulties to a Monday to Wednesday timetable. Angry parents condemned the shake-up of the foundation learning courses, saying it will unfairly penalise vulnerable children.
The Scrivener Drive sixth form said it will match other post-16 colleges in providing foundation learning over three days when it comes into effect in September.
It said students with learning disabilities will still have a full-time education of more than 540 hours of teaching and support.
However, Ipswich Mencap branded additional claims from One that students with learning difficulties cannot cope with a Monday-to-Friday education because they find it too tiring as "a load of codswallop".
And yesterday it was alleged the sixth form said in a letter sent to parents and carers of pupils enrolled on a foundation learning course this September that it will "take a fresh look at the options open to the college in the light of continuing significant funding challenges".
A spokesman for One confirmed a letter had been sent to parents and carers informing them of a "further period of extensive consultation".
"It confirms that we will be commencing a further period of extensive consultation where all those who have been sent this letter – along with other stakeholders – will have the opportunity to contribute to the consultation process," he said.
"At the end of the consultation period in mid-June, One will collate all the information, discuss this with governors and stakeholders and announce the outcome of this further consultation."
The spokesman did not comment on the allegation it was considering backtracking on the plans.
It is understood 14 parents have launched legal proceedings.
A spokesman for the group said: "As a group of parents we remain fully committed to ensuring that our children get a fair deal which ensures that they have equality of access to post sixteen education.
"We welcome the fact that a consultation and impact assessment will now take place, which is in keeping with the law.
"We are continuing to receive legal advice about the next steps in the journey to ensure that our children receive the education they are legally and morally entitled to."

I genuinely believe the brighter kids are being chosen over the dopey ones, it's totally unfair.
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
It was a legitimate comment stating fact.
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
Totally agree with Mencap's comment. If any student, with or without learning difficulties, finds the 5 day week too tiring or stressful, the college should work with that student to find an acceptable solution. The college's stance, treating all students with learning difficulties as one group to be spoken of in this way, is downright insulting!
Saturday, May 3, 2014
"In the light of significant funding challenges" ?? No challenge of whatever kind gives the right to discriminate against one group of students! Whoever suggested supported this ought not to be in the decision making process. It is crass, wrong and, in the light of legal challenges hardly money saving.
Saturday, May 3, 2014
Lee, your comment offers a lot of evidence that post-compulsory education is not your area of expertise. I suggest you don't make any more posts on this topic.

I was wondering about the scouting that goes on with both high schoolers and college athletes who are potental draftees. I understand that every major league club has a pretty indepth scouting department. I just wonder how much scouting on a particular player is actually done by the team itself and how much scouting is left up to scouting services (BA, BP, etc.). With the draft growing in popularity each first round selection is scrutinized more and more every year. But I also realize that when drafting a HS player how many actual games are you able to watch? With the advent of CSTV more and more college games are on TV and more and more video is available. But when you look at HS how many players have access to video as well how high of a quailty is a video?
Do the Reds have pre-draft camps? How do you evaluate players from both Puerto Rico as well as Canada. With last years draft, Votto, and the possibility of Lawrie, it seems as if the reds have made some significant inroads in Canada but when you look at it further how many games are scouts able to watch? I mean in all reality when does the weather break in Canada that enables the teams to play outdoors?
This comment is from another thread but I find it interesting. In the NFL Draft you have 3 years of college football to watch. You also have tapes of every game and I would imagine that most of the tapes you will recieve will come in HD. As for baseball it almost sees as if even the top college programs (Miami, Clemson, ASU, etc.) are the equvilant of smaller school football. I saw promo video of Crow and it looked pretty basic whereas when the Bengals drafted Rivers a few months ago think about how much tape they actually had on him.Hmmm, I don't know how much stock I'm willing to put in this. If the Reds pick Lawrie with Smoak, Alonso, and Crow on the board, RedsZone's minor league forum might just explode.
I guess my question is how much do we know about each individual draft pick? If the reds do pick a guy like Lawrie, other than what several draft prognosticators say how do we know that Smoak, Alonso, or Crow are that much better? Every year in football we see players fall drastically during draft day and that is after 4 months of evaulation, combines, tapes, etc. With baseball you have a short high school/college season and the draft is done while a lot of players are still committed to a team.

Hard graft was never the issue.
That's the assessment of Mick McCarthy following his impressive start to life in the Blues hot-seat.
Having inherited a team that was rock-bottom of the Championship and without a home league win in 10 matches, McCarthy has lifted the club out of the relegation zone by claiming 10 points from a possible 18.
Tuesday night's impressive 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest made it three games unbeaten at Portman Road.
"I don't think there was a bad atmosphere here," said the Blues boss, when asked what has changed since he replaced Paul Jewell at the start of the month.
"We have got a good set of lads who all get on well and work hard. There are no shirkers here, looking at all the stats and Prozone on how far they run and how hard they work.
"The problem with that is it is probably them chasing the ball rather than having the ball and making the opposition run around.
"Confidence comes from being organised, not getting beaten and believing in what you are doing.
"When that starts to produce results confidence comes and morale gets better, team spirit improves and the whole town feels better also."
The Blues boss continued: "Generally you get a job because a team has been struggling so you have got to turn results around and probably turn people's mindsets and attitudes around.
"You need to get some confidence and the only way that can be achieved is through winning games.
"It's like anywhere else, you just have to win football matches. There is no other agenda for a manager than winning football matches.
"Behind that it might be building a good squad and developing the academy, but fundamentally it is about winning games."
Sacked by Wolves back in February, McCarthy was linked with a number of clubs over the summer. But the former Republic of Ireland and Sunderland boss says much of it was pure speculation.
He said: "There is an assumption that I had loads of other opportunities in the summer, which I didn't. My name was linked with lots of jobs and I certainly didn't go round speaking to them all. Any of the ones I did speak to, however, I would always keep to myself.
"When I spoke to Ipswich they were rock bottom but everyone always speaks about this club in glowing terms and I have found that all to be true in the three weeks that I have been here.
"Of course the team is struggling – if it wasn't they wouldn't have had a change of manager. So I looked at all of that and thought 'can I turn it around and keep the club up?' and I thought, yes I can.
"I think it is a good opportunity to build something once we have achieved our first objective which is to stay in the Championship."

Steroo, you need to take a slightly more intellectually robust approach to these things. Of course a manager, with a team to turn around, is going to build their confidence in the local press, to build on a good result. What do you expect him to do? Come out and slate the team and players in the press to further undermine their confidence? Anyone with half a footballing brain, including MM, knows that the reality is that we have had shirkers, we all saw that in the matches we lost 0-6 (twice), where tackles were missed, opposition players just went through us easily, and even players in the team (e.g. Wellens) came out and said that a number didn't care enough about losing. What MM is called management, something about which you plainly have much to learn.
Thursday, November 29, 2012
Steroo - if what Mick is saying is untrue what DO the prozone stats say?
Thursday, November 29, 2012
Blunt "say it as it is"Yorkshire Men do not trot out meaninglass ( and often completely untrue) soundbites. Town has a good honest manager - be thankful that he has quickly started to turn the club around and he will ensure that the club continues to climb to a safe positio0n in the league this season. Given the right support from the owner Town will be challenging for a top 6 place.
Thursday, November 29, 2012
What on earth is Steroo on about this time???? 'meaningless(often completely untrue) soundbites'??? What's 'completely untrue' here? Winning breeds confidence is the basic message, which is true! I saw a cracking team performance Tuesday night, lots of heart & passion...and youngsters too! In my 1 12hr drive home I actually wondered how Rob or Ged could possibly have a moan and I couldn't do it. You are truly amazing. Out of the bottom 3 in 5 games...if it had been Holloway you'd have been happy I suppose??....actually,I doubt it!!!

This is my first time posting so bear with me... depending on which dr. you speak to --- the ER dr. or my OB -- 6 days after delivery I was, by the grace of god, back at the hospital only because my baby had severe jaundice and was admitted. Early that day I had noticed that I was swollen and we joked about it because I don't normally swell especially after the pregnancy. Like I said luckily my baby was re-admit for billi lights and at 12am I was trapped in his hospital room. unable to move or speak but still had enough sense that something was deparetly wrong...his nurse came in and I looked at her and pointed to my feet she said not good took b/p 195/110 and then took a scary ride down the elevator to the er where full trama procedure took place. After mega dose of mag. and additional bag or mag 12 hours later I was released from hospital with ooo's and aaaah's of how lucky I was to be at the hospital otherwise things could have been dramatically different. Then my OB says he's not convinced that it was post part. p/e so needless to say very confused. My husband is terrified that I would like to have another baby. My current gyn says he sure it was p/e and should be very carefull about another pregnancy --- anyone out there with similar situation or words or advise?

A few approaching systems will send some high clouds though the region from time to time, but any rain will be deflected well to the north of Arizona. Air quality will change very little over the next week or so, with ozone and carbon monoxide holding in the "Good" range, and PM-10 (coarse particles) and PM-2.5 (fine particles) staying in the lower "Moderate" range. Until tomorrow, have a good day! -J.Paul ********************************************************************** NOTICE: This e-mail (and any attachments) may contain PRIVILEGED OR CONFIDENTIAL information and is intended only for the use of the specific individual(s) to whom it is addressed.

After getting home this afternoon I was captured by our NYC Jewish engineer's lapidary (and subtle) post 'Batting 500'.
So I started with a wink:
Wake up man! ;-)
Even couldn't-care-less Romans are having festa. 10 years of tenacity have given their magic, liberating fruit.
Everyone may be critical of one's country's no-matter-what but this time man I do feel happy.
And I know the souls of Ronald Reagan and of eternal (not only in my mind I think) Jimmy Stuart & John Wayne are having fiesta as well.
By the way these two last icons were mythical to us – as I guess you know from our blogs' exchanges – my basically right-wing Tuscan friend I mean and myself.
When I grew up and realised who Jimmy and John really were (also,) I personally loved them even more (my friend ça va sans dire.)
We may have different views on a few things, my friend and I, but we both respect faith, big ideals, honesty.
Today Europeans are darn proud of America.
The killer, the folks' souls poisoner lies deep in the ocean.
Personally I don't care who the hell will judge him.
But if someone up there is watching humankind (by loving us especially) may He / She bless the wonderful American people.
Rome after Bin Laden's death
Rome is no NYC nor Washington DC but …
… did here people flock somewhere as it happened at the World Trade Center or before the gates of the White House?
No idea but I mean, entire areas of the city were blocked when we approached the down town area on our way back from Tuscany this very early morning (3 hours drive.)
Ok, we yesterday had 1rst of May plus the beatification of Pope John Paul II in the eternal city. We knew what traffic anarchy was awaiting us so we delayed our return till this Monday morning.
After having learned the great news from our car radio and me having been dropped by Flavia not far from Rome's American Embassy – I thought btw about my dear American and Italian IT ex students working there (read about one here, not because he's not criticizing me lol) : many black cars were by now protecting this huge American-embassies' hub (which testifies US-Italia friendship btw) – and on the way to my guitar guru while desperately entering bars in search of A-bomb espressos to keep myself awake and while using taxies, talking to these great people (YES, taxi drivers of any city in the world, they are great) …
…. I noticed the men-in-the-street reaction synthesized by a Roman laconic cab driver:
"Gli americani so' forti, niente da dire in più."
PS. A special thought goes here to my inspirer Sledpress and also and most of all to Zeus is watching, Richardus, the Commentator, Wind Rose Hotel – and last but not least Chaerie the wonderful faerie.
