During a recent lovely evening with friends at a local wine bar, the sommelier of the wine bar had pointed out to us a new entry to their Virginia Wine section: Quievremont Wines. I hadn't heard anything about this vineyard previously but I was excited to try to learn more.
When most people think of Downton Abbey and Bordeaux, they probably think of the Downton Abbey labelled Claret released last year. But, the truth is that during the period in which Downton Abbey took place white Bordeaux ruled.
Which is why it was so exciting to see that Downton Abbey, featured a bottle of 1919 Château Coutet, a 1er grand cru classé en 1855 (first classified growth), on episode two of season four which aired on Sunday, January 12, 2014 at 9pm ET.
The bottle of Château Coutet 1919 was served at a house party hosted by Robert and Cora Crawley, Earl and Countess of Grantham and their family. The guests included opera singer Dame Nellie Melba played by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who delivered two beautiful performances.
"We are thrilled to see Coutet featured on Downton Abbey. The show has been a favorite amongst our team -- we've always been especially excited to see the presence of Sauternes at each of the series dinning scenes. There is no other show that has been such a strong advocate of our region's wines," commented Aline Baly, co-owner and director of marketing and communications of Château Coutet. During this time period, Bordeaux's sweet wines ailing from Sauternes and Barsac were generally served with desserts and often referred to as pudding wine.
The Château Coutet 1919 was selected by the show's production team for its period appropriate authenticity and its recognized quality amongst wine enthusiasts. The estate's 1919 vintage was produced by the Lur-Saluces family, the then owners of Château Coutet and Château d'Yquem.

Today is Small Business Saturday a day that celebrates local businesses and encourages people to shop at them (and avoid the disaster that often accompanies Black Friday).
While you are out supporting local businesses, don't forget your local wineries! Many wineries are offering Small Business Saturday specials, which is a great time to stock up on local wine for Christmas, your holiday party, or to give as gifts (Fabbioli's Raspberry Merlot and a small box of chocolate makes a great gift).
Some wineries are offering great deals today, definitely check out the sales at Loudoun Valley Vineyards, Hiddencroft Vineyards, Tarara, Willowcroft Farm Vineyards and a host of others in Loudoun County!
For the fourth year in a row, Château Coutet has released a specially prepared Thanksgiving menu, putting a unique spin on traditional Thanksgiving menu items and pairing them with Château Coutet wines.
This year, Château Coutet worked with personal chef Sarah Heller to develop the menu, which is posted on the Château Coutet website.
The press release is below:
This innovative idea of pairing Château Coutet with Thanksgiving stemmed from the Baly family's personal experience of this holiday as newcomers to New England in the late 80s, when faced with the challenge of preparing a moist, flavorful turkey. "There are traditions but absolutely no rules when it comes to food pairing and the sweet wines of Bordeaux. Sauternes' texture and balance make these beautiful golden wines very flexible. Château Coutet's warm notes of spices, such as gingerbread, and exotic nectars provide a broad array of delicious holiday pairing options," shares Aline.
Since 2010, Château Coutet has commissioned a different chef to create a menu for this annual family gathering. This year, personal chef Sarah Heller (http://www.sarahhellercooking.com, Yountsville, California) was selected specially for her originality, great sensitivity and honest approach to food and wine as well as her mastery of poultry cookery, due to her experiences in America's best kitchens and Michelin-star restaurants.
Featured for Thanksgiving 2013 will be a Pomegranate-Maple Glazed Turkey, recommended with Château Coutet 1997, 1998 or 2004, accompanied by Butternut Bacon Bread Pudding with Leeks and Sage and Château Coutet 2006, a Gruyère Gougère filled with Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Mousse served with Château Coutet 2002 or 2008 and, to conclude, a Buttermilk Semolina Cake with Cardamon and Caramelized Pear with Château Coutet 2010.
I don't normally print press releases in their entirety, but climate change is a critical issue that is already impacting vineyards around the world. It is important to raise awareness. There is a lot of good information on the UMD CIRUN website that is worth checking out. Read below for more information.
In the not too distant future, your favorite French wine may not come from its namesake region or even from France!
Climate change is altering growing conditions in wine producing regions and in coming decades will change the wines produced there, in some cases shifting to new areas the growth of grape varieties long associated with regions further south, says leading climate scientist and wine expert Antonio Busalacchi of the University of Maryland.
"Climate change will produce winners and losers among wine growing regions, and for every region it will result in changes to the alcohol, acid, sugar, tannins and color in wine," says Busalacchi, who directs the UMD Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and chairs the World Climate Research Programme's Joint Scientific Committee and the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.
Busalacchi, and research assistant Eric Hackert have analyzed climate change impacts on 24 of the world's major wine producing regions; providing snapshots of what conditions will be like at the middle and end of this century. Busalacchi notes that several Champagne houses already are looking at land in Sussex and Kent in southern England as potential sites for new vineyards because as climate warms the region is becoming more hospitable to quality grape growing. The soil type in the region, as seen in the white cliffs of Dover, is similar to the chalky substrate of Champagne, and the cost of land is 30 times less than in France.
"Vineyards in higher latitudes, at higher altitudes or surrounded by ocean will benefit from climate change with more consistent growing seasons and a greater number of favorable growing days," he says. "These include the Rhine in Germany, U.S. states Oregon and Washington, the Mendoza Province of Argentina and New Zealand." says Busalacchi who comes from a family of restaurateurs, is an advanced sommelier and operates a wine and vineyard consulting firm.
On the other hand, Bordeaux and some other regions will suffer compressed growing seasons that yield unbalanced, low acid wines that lack complexity. South Africa and South Australia, likely will see declines in wine production due to severe droughts, according to Busalacchi. More generally, extreme events such as heat waves that shut down photosynthesis and hail storms that can ruin a chateau's annual production in a matter of minutes will become more commonplace.
In both warm and cooler regions, one result will be the same; wines will lose their traditional character.
"Taken to an extreme, a wine from the Left Bank of Bordeaux may move away from the classic aromas of cedar cigar box, blackcurrants and green pepper and more toward the full, rich, spicy peppery profile of a Chateauneuf-du-Pape from the Southern Rhone," says Busalacchi. "Given that most grapevines produce fruit for 25 to 50 years, grape growers and wine makers must consider the long term when determining what to plant, where to plant, and how to manage their vineyards."
Building Climate Understanding
The University of Maryland is a national leader in collaborative research to understand our earth and its changing climate. As part of that work, UMD has major research partnerships with federal agencies in earth science, climate and energy research. These include a NOAA-supported Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites; the long-standing cooperative agreement between UMD's Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center; and the Joint Global Change Research Institute, a partnership between the university and the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
To aid individuals, institutions, industries and governments in effectively planning for and responding to climate change impacts, UMD's CIRUN initiative (Climate Information: Responding to User Needs) is building diverse partnerships among climate scientists, behavioral and social scientists, engineers, agricultural scientists, public health and risk management experts and private and public sector decision makers.
On September 14th, the great team at Domaine de Chevalier hosted this year's Commanderie du Bontemps where they inducted 36 new members to to the prestigious organization.
The revelers at Domaine de Chevalier had a number of reasons to celebrate. Read all about it and check out pictures and videos on their blog.
In conjunction with the Commanderie du Bontemps and the Crus Classés de Graves, DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER welcomed more than 1,000 guests from all the continents to the 2013 BAN DES VENDANGES on Saturday 14 September.
This pre-autumnal gala evening was particularly brilliant and on a par with the Fête de la Fleur (another prestigious annual Bordeaux reception), but with more of a family... and a Gascon atmosphere. Olivier Bernard also celebrated the 30th anniversary of his family's presence at Domaine de Chevalier, which he has managed since 1983.
The heavy showers that fell on the Graves region did not dampen spirits as 36 new members – including Her Excellency the Austrian ambassador to France, Mrs Ursula Plassnik, the fashion model Adriana Karembeu, and the saxophonist Manu Dibango, among others) – were inducted into the Commanderie in the château cellars.
The Gascon dinner, prepared by Jean Coussau (chef at the two-star Relais de la Poste in Magescq), was preceded by a tasting of white Graves great growths and a short address by Mr Alain Juppé, Mayor of Bordeaux and former Prime Minister. The red great growth Graves wines served at dinner began with an emblematic wine, 1983 Domaine de Chevalier (Olivier Bernard's first vintage...) and ended in apotheosis with a 1998 Château La Mission Haut-Brion!
The rain had stopped by then, so everyone could go outside to enjoy dessert in an immense open tent looking out over the estate to admire a firework display over the vines to the sound of music.
What a wonderful way to celebrate the 2013 vintage!
A year that has been fraught with challenges for winemakers in Bordeaux took another turn this week as many chateaux began harvesting their reds a week earlier than expected.
October 7th was set as the start of the red harvest for many in Bordeaux. A later harvest than in recent years necessitated by the late bud break and the very wet early summer.
But, a surprise heat wave coupled with the forecast for rain over the next week caused many chateaux to start harvesting on September 26th or 27th.
Because of the odd weather and the hailstorms that decimated so many vineyards on the right bank the 2013 harvest is expected to have a small yield. Hopefully, the early harvest won't further impact the vintage.
Good luck to all who have started to harvest, and to those who are holding out until the 7th!
Our friends at Attimo Winery are attempting two world records on Saturday, September 28 to raise money for building a playground at Auburn Elementary. From their press release:
Attimo Winery, LLC and the Montgomery County Chamber Foundation and the Montgomery County Regional Tourism Office (Virginia) announces an attempt to break two records: The Longest Toast Relay, and, the "Most Bottles of Wine Uncorked Simultaneously". Labeled as "Salute Vantaggio," this history-making event will take place Saturday, 28 September 2013, in the heart of the New River Valley at Attimo Winery.
The current record for the longest toast relay consists of 886 participants and was organized by Tsubamesanjo Junior Chamber Incorporated (Japan) at Tsubamesanjo station, in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan, on 10 November 2012. The most people uncorking wine simultaneously (within 30 seconds) is 474 achieved by WineFest No. 18: A Toast to Children's Health (USA) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on 10 May 2013.
Salute Vantaggio was created by Attimo Winery with support from the Montgomery County Chamber Foundation and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. Profits of the event will contribute to a playground and outdoor community area at Auburn Elementary.
Righteous Cheese is another Kickstarter alum that is thriving at Union Market in DC. Offering a wide selection of cheese plates as well as wine and beer selections and flights of wine and cheese pairings.
We stopped by on a Sunday to check it out. We ordered a plate of 5 cheeses for $25 and a glass of the Lambrusco. The cheeses come from around the world including France, England, Spain, Italy and, of course, Virginia. Everything was good, but our favorite was the Bleu des Basques from Béarn France.
Not only was the cheese good, but the service as excellent. We learned a lot about the cheeses and why they were included. We also brought some of the cheese home with us.
If you are down near Union Market Righteous Cheese is worth a visit.
After our visit Righteous Cheese began offering a Virginia Cider and Cheese Flight. The flight is $24.55 and includes 3 cheeses and 3 ciders:
If you were watching Kickstarter in February, you may have seen a project pop up for a "Farmhouse Nanobrewery" called Crooked Run Brewing. Not only was the project successfully funded, but it actually exceeded its goal by 14% and today Crooked Run Brewing is open and thriving at Market Station in downtown Leesburg.
While wine gets the lion's share of attention in Virginia there is a burgeoning craft brew industry growing here as well and the most exciting and innovative brewers in that industry are the nano-brewers. Led by Jim and Lori Corcoran at Corcoran Brewing, the nano brewing industry is getting ready to explode in Loudoun County. There are currently 4 nano-breweries open, but there are 16 nano-breweries who are currently going through the (painful) licensing process.
A nano-brewery is defined as a brewery that produces less than 4 beer barrels at a time. While nano-breweries are small scale, don't confuse them with your average home brewer, There is a lot of complexity associated with nano-brewing, both in ingredients and equipment.
We stopped into Crooked Run Brewing on a Saturday after they opened and talked to Jake Endres, the 25 year old owner of Crooked Run.
Of the 5 beers on tap, Jake had 3 available: Logan's Song, an English Pale Ale; Logan's Bite, an English IPA; and Summer Night a raspberry dark Belgian.
We tried the Logan's Song and the Summer Night, both were excellent, but the Summer Night stood out as something unique. The Belgian style ale, had power to it that was tempered by the very subtle raspberry notes which gave the beer a fleeting sweetness, but not to point that it was sickly sweet. The flavors mellowed out the 7.5% alcohol ABV, making it a refreshing drink on a hot day.
While Jake has 5 beers on tap, he has more than 21 recipes ready to go, giving him plenty of opportunity to rotate through the selections.
How does someone so young have so many recipes? He spent the year waiting for the licensing for his brewery to go through Virginia ABC experimenting with different recipes and taking advantage of the many local ingredients Loudoun has to offer.
But the care Jake takes goes beyond local ingredients. He is careful about all of the ingredients he uses. He only uses three yeast strains for all of his beers, and he reuses the yeasts right away.
If you take a few minutes to talk to Jake you will be impressed with his passion and the depth of his knowledge. He spent 10 minutes explaining the different yeasts he uses, their attenuation advantages and benefits in different types of beer.
It is definitely worth stopping by Crooked Run Brewing and checking out the beers they have on tap. A great way to spend an afternoon or an evening after dinner.
One of my favorite points in the vineyard cycle is veraison, the time of year when grapes turn from green to purple. Veraison signifies that harvest is a few short weeks away. I started hearing reports that veraison was appearing last week, so we went out to see for ourselves.
We started at Fabbioli Cellars:
Next, we went to Vineyard & Winery at Lost Creek:
Finally, we went to Casanel Vineyards where we got to see the first in state planted Carménère.
I am a sucker for movies set in vineyards, but there is a dearth of films set in Bordeaux, which is why I was so excited when I fond out about You Will Be My Son.
Set in the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, the movie centers on a winemaker and his relationship with his son. From the media kit:
YOU WILL BE MY SON, focuses on the problematic relationship between Paul Marseul, (Niels Arestrup), the vineyard owner, and his son, Martin (Loran Deutsch), who works with him on the family estate. Paul is a demanding and passionate winemaker but is a domineering father. He is not happy that his son may one day succeed him. He dreams of a son who is more talented, more charismatic . . . and more in line with his own aspirations. Things deteriorate as Paul's trusted manager Francois (Patrick Chesnais) is dying of cancer. When Francois' son Philip(Nicolas Bridet), also in the wine business, returns from California to look after his father, Paul sees Philip as his ideal son and turns away from his own flesh and blood.

ATLANTA -- Nobody got angrier quicker about the city's council's proposed pay raises than city employees.
RELATED | Atlanta City Council approves 52% salary increase
"It's unjust and it's unfair and it's just not right," said Gina Pagnotta-Murphy, a labor association president and 15 year city worker, moments before the city council voted.
"Absurd" was the word used by Sabrina Harris. A six year employee in the city's procurement division, Harris was among those spending a lunch break on an elliptical in City Hall's "wellness center." Things were not well there.
"I'm a single mother with three children," Harris said. "And we need raises as well. And I think that if they get 'em we should get 'em."
"We all work for the government for the city of Atlanta. So if one goes up, everybody should go up," said Melinda Pringle, who was exercising next to Harris. Pringle is a 15 year veteran in information technology.
City council members looked at salaries across the country at comparable cities - and we looked at some additional cities. From the six figure salaries found for city council members in the northeast -- Philadelphia, Washington and New York -- to the more modest salaries found in cities like Charlotte, Albuquerque and Austin TX -- we found city council salaries are inconsistent across the country.
"They're not part time," said firefighters association president Jim Daws. "I see how much work they do. It's a grinding job. And for the amount of work they do, and the expertise they bring, I think they deserve a pay raise."
But Daws and other city workers say the council botched this one by failing to look out for other city workers.
"And we're going to be lost and forgotten again," Pagnotta-Murphy told reporters after the vote. "From two months from now, the next year, they're not going to think about a raise for us. They haven't in ten years."

The Rachel Zoe Project: Is Rachel Showing?
November 15, 2010 11:00 AM by Shayla Perry
Could it be that super stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe of Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project is finally showing? Though Rachel has yet to officially confirm rumors of her pregnancy, she recently stepped out at an event in L.A., and sources say that a baby bump was definitely visible! Keep reading for all the details!
Is Rachel Zoe really having a "babe"? According to sources who saw the the Bravo reality star in Los Angeles over the weekend at a gala for the Museum of Contemporary Art, the answer is a resounding "YES!"
What gave it away?
Zoe arrived at the event dressed in her usual Bohemian-chic style, wearing a long, black, baggy dress (though we're sure she would've described it a little differently). But some at the star-studded gala report that as Rachel walked and posed for cameras on the red carpet, a bit of a bulge at the belly could be seen, and some say that she was spotted resting her hand over her stomach a few times throughout the night, and sipped on water instead of any alcoholic beverages.
When Zoe was asked why she chose her dress, she said it was because it was, "Comfortable. Easy."
Rumors of Zoe's pregnancy with her husband of 12 years, Rodger Berman, began circulating in September. Just last month, a source close to the couple revealed that Zoe and Berman had just learned the sex of the baby (a boy), and at that point were 4 1/2 months along.
On her reality show, Zoe openly discussed her fears about trying to have a baby, becoming a mother, and juggling parenting and running her successful business. Rodger, on the other hand, has always been very adamant about the fact that he wants a family.

Why You Should Choose a Quality Web Design Firm in Niagara falls
There are many reasons why you should choose a quality web design firm in Niagara Falls, and it starts with the fact that companies and businesses today will have a hard time surviving without an online presence. And while you can create a website, hiring the services of a professional is more practical.
What Professional Designers Can Do for You
The biggest reason why you should choose a professional service like Linx Web Design Niagara Falls is they know the current trends and what layout will work best for your website. You simply can't choose a template from the various free services online and upload your content, because it won't look right and just be derivative. In the hands of a good designer, you'll get a customized layout that fits your exact specifications.
Maintenance, Repair and Upkeep
The other reason why you should choose a quality web design firm in Niagara Falls, ON is the technical and customer support they'll provide. Once your website has been setup, it will need regular maintenance and upkeep. Doing this on your own will take time and if you're running on online retail shop, you can't afford any downtime. What if a major problem occurs or you are attacked by a hacker? By hiring a professional designer you'll never have to worry about the site going down at the most inopportune time.
Integration with Other Media
The key to success lies in the integration of various marketing tools, and this is something a professional web designer can and will provide. These days web design companies do more than just design websites as they also provide marketing advice, logo and graphic design and social media integration. While social media is very much in the in-thing nowadays, it cannot stand alone and requires a website to succeed.
Integrating all of these in your website is a huge and complex task, to say nothing of updating the content. Add the aforementioned need for maintenance and you'll have your hands full, but with the aid of a designer like Linx, this won't be a problem anymore.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are one of the most fascinating subjects of interest in all of biology and medicine these days. Under certain physiologic conditions, they can be induced to become specialized cells such as brain, cardiac, liver, pancreatic, and bone marrow cells. This opens up the exciting possibility that hESCs may one day be used to treat patients with Parkinson's disease, heart conditions, hepatitis, diabetes, and leukemia, just to name a few currently intractable diseases that affect millions of Americans alone. This field of cell-based therapies to treat human diseases is generally referred to as "regenerative medicine."
Scientists who want to study hESCs or their specialized cell derivatives typically inject them into small animal models such as mice and rodents. However, researchers currently are unable to monitor noninvasively these cells after transplant. Instead, these animals are typically sacrificed for postmortem biopsy, which precludes long-term follow-up of transplanted cells. Without the ability to follow the progress of transplanted cells over a longer period of time, important insights into hESC fates in vivo have not been forthcoming. Thus, developing a novel technology to track transplanted hESCs and their specialized cell derivatives would represent a major advancement in this field that will produce wide-ranging theoretical and practical implications.
Another problem with transplantation of hESCs is the potential to cause teratomas. Teratomas are disorganized arrays of cell differentiation that appear to recapitulate many of the events involved in early embryonic development. Clearly, the teratoma formation risk is a major obstacle to future clinical application of hESCs. In this proposal, we will evaluate how teratoma forms in living subjects over time using the imaging techniques that we have developed as well as how best to prevent them in the first place.
Due to the serious risks posed by teratoma formation, it is necessary to induce hESCs to become specialized cell derivatives first before transplantation for therapeutic purposes. However, this process is not efficient at present despite intense efforts searching for methods to expedite it. Our team plans to tackle this problem using the latest genomics and proteomics technology.
In summary, our proposal is a targeted response to the CIRM SEED grant. It seeks to develop a novel technology (molecular imaging) that will address a critical barrier in clinical translation of hESC therapy (teratoma formation) and provide a better understanding of cardiac cell differentiation process (genomics/proteomics). Our well-established multidisciplinary team has the required training, experience, and innovation to complete the project. Overall, we are confident that our proposed studies will generate significant progress in this field, in both scientific knowledge and useful therapies.
Stem cell based therapy holds great promise for treatment of numerous diseases. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), for example, can transform into brain, cardiac, pancreatic, liver, and bone marrow cells. This opens up the exciting possibility that hESCs may one day be used to treat diseases such as Parkinson's, heart conditions, hepatitis, diabetes, and leukemia. This field of cell-based therapies to treat human diseases is generally referred to as "regenerative medicine."
However, we are still at the very early stages of understanding the capability of hESCs. There are many basic research questions that need to be addressed before we can begin clinical trials involving specialized hESC-derived cells in the future. For example, we need to understand how to drive hESC differentiation into specific pathways, to control hESC proliferation, and to monitor their cell fate after transplantation.
One of the most serious problems is the potential for hESC to cause teratoma after transplantation. Teratomas are benign tumors that consist of cells from different lineages. Therefore, it is critical for scientists to understand how teratomas are formed as well as to develop techniques to monitor them noninvasively and repetitively. Our research proposal is designed to address all 3 questions: (1) how to image and monitor transplanted hESCs, (2) how teratomas are formed, and (3) how to reliably induce hESCs to become specialized derivatives such as cardiac cells.
We believe that answering these questions will lead to significant advances in hESC research and novel therapies. We have assembled a multidisciplinary team of experienced investigators to attack the challenges of this project. At the same time, we will train and mentor a new generation of bright students and junior scientists in the areas of technology development and hESC biology. This ensures that an essential knowledge base will be preserved and passed on for the foreseeable future.
Human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are self-renewing and pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Human ESCs are an unlimited and widely applicable cell source for regenerative medicine, making them desirable candidates for cell replacement therapy. However, the use of human ESCs also carries the danger of possible uncontrollable cellular proliferation and differentiation, a serious problem that is as yet unresolved. This potentially serious complication may occur if the transplanted human ESCs take an inappropriate path such as teratoma formation. Broadly defined, teratomas are haphazard arrays of cell differentiation that appears to recapitulate the main events involved in early embryonic development, but in a disorganized manner. Teratomas have been observed to grow from both undifferentiated mouse ESCs and human ESCs. Thus, the ability to visualize cellular proliferation and differentiation in vivo would be an invaluable next step toward monitoring and controlling cellular misbehavior.
The three specific aims of the project are as follow:
Aim 1: To develop a novel imaging platform for tracking human ESCs in vivo
Aim 2: To monitor the tumorigenicity profiles of different human ESC lines
Aim 3: To examine key regulatory processes involved in human ESC differentiation into cardiac cells
For Aim 1, we have created 3 human ESC lines (H1, H7, and H9) that stably express fusion reporter genes. Using novel imaging technology, we have successfully tracked human ESC teratom formation de novo in living subjects (Cao F et al, Cancer Research 2009). For Aim 2, we have shown that a minimum of 1x10(5) human ESCs in the myocardium and a minimum of 1x10(4) cells in the skeletal muscle was necessary for teratoma development, suggesting that cell number does play a critical factor (Lee A et al, Cell Cycle 2009). For Aim 3, we have performed detailed transcriptional and functional profiling analysis of human ESC derived cardiomyocytes in mouse model of myocardial infarction (Cao F et al, PLoS ONE 2008). Lastly, we have shown that the STAT3 signaling pathway is critical for the development and differentiation of cardiac cells.
In summary, we have made significant progress in understanding the divergent biology of human ESC differentiation and tumorigenicity. Over the past 2 years, we have published 8 papers that were supported by the CIRM Seed Grant.

The Grand Daddy Drive-In - Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by on September 26, 2013 Editor's Picks
As if there wasn't enough to look at inside the buildings housing the Grand National Roadster Show, eight years ago the Grand Daddy Drive-In was added. Pre-'73 hot rods, customs, classics, muscle cars, and trucks are driven in and parked outside on the grounds. As one first-timer to the show commented, "It doesn't matter where you look, there are cool cars everywhere but the restrooms."
The Drive-In not only gives showgoers more to see, but it's a great deal for those who display their cars. Admission is $50 for one day, or $75 for two. Participants get two passes to the show, a dash plaque, and goodie bag and without a doubt the best parking spot on the grounds. In addition, several magazines, including STREET RODDER, give away Editor's Pick awards on both days.
While the weather didn't cooperate, the weekend drizzles didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm, although some made adjustments for the whims of Mother Nature. We saw several window stickers with the vehicle description "roadster" crossed out and "coupe" or "sedan" substituted.
As always the 2013 Grand National Roadster Show upheld its reputation as the Grand Daddy of all Car Shows. There was plenty to see inside, and with the 8th Grand Daddy Drive-In there was lots to look at outside as well.

Jim Grant and his '32 Ford roadster came all the way from Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The blown Chrysler Hemi probably made it a quick trip.Mark Campbell claimed the paint was perfect on his '48 Ford before the rains came and washed off the water-based finish. The interior is a subtle blend of Mexican blankets with Hawaiian bamboo for a headliner—we love it.When we saw Troy Holmes and his buddies come through the gate in this '56 Olds 88 while it was raining it caught our eye. We made it an SR pick when we found out this sleeper had a 500-inch Cad under the hood.Tony Miller's gorgeous '50 Ford Victoria is unusual for several reasons, not the least of which is the hardtop body style that didn't appear until mid-year 1951. Evidently this one has been treated to the earlier, cleaner front sheetmetal and grille.The license plate on Randy McDaniel's '40 Ford sedan says it all. The '50s theme includes full moon hubcaps, wide whites, and a white pleated interior with red piping.Jack Petitt wipes down his '57 Pontiac Star Chief. The car had a full compliment of mild custom tricks from the '60s, including the narrow whitewalls, pleated inner fender covers, and lakes pipes. Note the feathers on the Star Chief.Ted Jones took the resto-rod route with his Ford roadster. Other than the dropped headlight bar and solids with '41 caps it looks pretty much as it did in 1932. But then why change a winner?The mild custom look appears to be popular. Jo Ella Taylor's '54 Ford Customline has been nosed, pinstriped, and wears a pair of dummy spotlights. Lancer hubcaps and lakes pipes complete the look.
Ken Forsyth's '54 Studebaker looks ready to go somewhere in a hurry, dry lakes, the salt, maybe even a road course. Wherever it runs, it's prepared with a stout small-block Chevy and a rollcage.It's always good to have a backup plan. Skip and Jeanne Ringo crossed out "'32 Ford roadster" on the Drive-In registration sticker and substituted "'36 Ford three-window". Not a bad second choice

Same choice that I had (albeit an A65 rather than a Bonnie).I could have bought a really nice BSA for £4.5k but even then there is always the possibility of it needing work, you can never be sure how it's been 'restored' previously. Possibly if I had a workshop but my garage and a few tools wouldn't be enough to keep old brit iron going.I went for the Enfield because it looks and feels like an old bike but the important stuff like the brakes & controls etec are up to modern standards. I've no desire to get all nostalgic as a handful of 8" TLS fails to stop me hitting a car.I'll get to look after it from new and the warranty is a big plus. I did consider a new bonnie but they're too sanitised and I've done the modern Triumph thing.

Haiyang 2014 World Cup Results
The 2014 IFSC Bouldering World Cup continued this weekend in Haiyang, China. This event shared the spotlight with the resumption of the Speed Climbing World Cup and the beginning of the Lead season.
Akiyo Noguchi, now winner of the past three Bouldering World Cups, stood atop the podium Sunday in Haiyang alongside second place Shauna Coxey, Great Britain, and third place Anna Stohr, Austria. Germany's Jan Hojer gripped first place for the men. Sean McColl of Canada took second in the bouldering competition and also earned second in the lead competition. Winner of the Cup in Toronto and second place in Vail, Guillaume Glairon Mondet of France finished third in Haiyang.
However, these winners were competing against a much smaller field than in Toronto and Vail. Many American climbers chose not to travel to China, especially those not in the running for the overall title."Most Americans don't compete in World Cups overseas because it's just too expensive, and we can't afford to fly back and forth everywhere," Michael O'Rourke, USA team member who chose not to travel, told Rock and Ice. "Staying in Europe for a season would bleed most of us dry before the season ended. And it's hard to get funding from corporate sponsors because it's so much."
The Lead competition was won by Austria's Jakob Schubert and Korea's Jain Kim. Gautier Supper of France took third after McColl in the men's division. For the women, Magdalena Rock of Austria placed second after Kim and Anak Verhoeven of Belgium took third.
The next and final stop of the 2014 Bouldering World Cup circuit will take place June 26 - 28 in Laval, France.
For the full results of the Haiyang Bouldering, Lead and Speed World Cups visit the IFSC website.

Zeb Colter return
According to rumors, there have been no timetable set backstage by WWE for the return of Zeb Colter. While officials still view him as a valuable asset for the company, there is no sense of urgency in bringing him back, especially since there are no plans for pushing Jack Swagger from now until Wrestlemania. Since that is the case, there is a good chance that they might hold off the well spoken manager until that point in time.

Dry-Processed x 3
We have a new and unusual lot, Mexico Organic Dry-Process Nayart Rustico. This is a full natural coffee (i.e. sun-dried whole coffee cherry), resulting in a cup more reminicent of dry-process Sidamo, Harar, or Brazil, rather than any other Mexican coffee. Speaking of naturals, we have another lot of new crop from South America, Brazil Pedra Grande -Bourbon Cultivar. Honey, milk chocolate and almond would best sum up the Pedra Grande. Ethiopia Dry-Process Sidamo WP Decaf is a superb coffee that just happens to be a decaf too... great aromatics here. tree-dried coffee cherry in cerrado, brazil

Austin, TX (Sports Network) - Sheldon McClellan was responsible for all 10
of the Longhorns' points in the second extra session to lift Texas to a
89-86 double-overtime victory over the Iowa State Cyclones in a Big 12
Conference thriller at the Frank Erwin Center.
McClellan finished 18 points and eight rebounds for the Longhorns (11-13, 3-8
Big 12) as they snapped a two-game losing streak. Connor Lammert and Ioannis
Papapetrou chipped in 14 points apiece while Myck Kabongo tallied 13 points
and seven assists in his first game of the season after sitting out the first
23 games due to a suspension handed down from the NCAA. Javan Felix came off
the bench to tally 12 points in the win.
Tyrus McGhee paced ISU (16-8, 6-5) with 21 points on 8-of-18 shooting from the
floor while Melvin Ejim registered a double-double of 20 points and 16 boards.
Will Clyburn chipped in 20 points and seven rebounds while Korie Lucious dealt
out 11 assists. The loss was the second in a row for the Cyclones, who fell to
2-7 in true road games.
The Cyclones hit just 31.1 percent of their field goal tries in the opening
20 minutes, but connected on 5-of-11 from 3-point range and 12-of-14 at the
charity stripe to take a 37-33 lead into halftime. Texas trailed at the break
despite sinking 50 percent of its field goal attempts in the first half.
ISU improved to shot 39.4 percent from the floor in the second stanza, but the
Longhorns went 13-of-24 from the field and made 11-of-12 at the charity stripe
to overcome the halftime deficit. The Cyclones were in front, 71-68, with
seconds remaining before Papapetrou forced overtime with a clutch 3-pointer.
Neither side could pull away in the first overtime. After Lucious tied it up
at 79 with 1:21 showing on the clock, both sides missed potentially game-
winning field goal tries.
Ejim put the visitors ahead, 86-85, with one minute left in the second
overtime. Texas overcame the late ISU lead as McClellan scored the final four
points of the contest at the charity stripe to clinch the win for the
The Longhorns held a narrow, 43-41 edge in the rebounding battle and outscored
ISU, 40-24, in the paint to survive the thriller.

11.dragonball ( last but not least
Okay, I'm only going to do 9, because there are just too many to decide from, and these I knew were in my definitive top reads.
So, without further ado, and in no particular order.......
Skip Beat! -- Love this manga! Great plot, strong female lead, totally atypical romance and comedy! (One of my top faves in this list!)
Dengeki Daisy -- So many sweet moments in this series. And not your run-of-the-mill shoujo -- The heroine is strong-willed
Oresama Teacher -- Yet another strong female lead,(I sense a pattern....) who's a "reformed" delinquent. This manga is
Love So Life -- Ooey Gooey sugary fluff with an extra side of something else fluffy (cotton candy? Marshmallows?) It's one of those that
just makes you smile.
Game Over -- It's short -- 5 chapters, but I just love it. Just don't think about the age gap -- The mangaka does a fantastic job at diverting
you from dwelling on their age difference. It's just really cute.
Diamond Dust -- Manhwa! Oh gosh, this story is sometimes just so heartbreaking... but so good.
Hapi Mari -- Okay, so does the female protagonist urk me at times? YES. She can be incredibly annoying. Is the plot sometimes a little
disjointed and cliche? Yeah. But does it satisfy that girly need for a little fangirling every once in awhile? Totally. This has
been tagged as smut though, just so you know!
And rounding out the last picks:
Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun and Kimi ni Todoke -- These are both high school aged setups with light plot -- and sometimes that's just what I feel like reading, even being as old as I am. (That's okay still, right?) :)
Gosh, SOO Many other ones come to mind... had this been a different day, maybe I would have chosen some of them differently -- sometimes it just depends on your mood and what you feel like reading!
I would Recommend this mangas that is awesome to read ^^
-Rurouni kenshin
-Flame of Recca
-Kuroko no Basket
-Samurai Deeper Kyo
-Prince of Tennis
-Eyeshield 21
-Air Gear
-One Piece

Sun-Ken Rock... its actually really funny. I passed it up a lot until last night when I was really bored; and then I couldn't stop reading it. lol
Virgin's Empire - it's kinda like... Strawberry Panic and Highschool Girls but more ecchi.
Poi is the new Desu!

Coffee, Cigarette, Anime.... Daily Routine.
I recommend: Fruits Basket, Konjiki no Gash Bell, Pokemon Special, Dragon Ball, and Absolute Boyfriend, Air, Beast Master, Aishiteruze baby, Shiki, Until Death Do Us Part ! <3
1-Flower of Evil (Aku no Hana)-great plots and crazy chick
2- Shape of voices (Koe No Kitachi)- is a one shot but really sad and inspiring
3- Orange (takano Ichigo)- it's only 9 chapters but it's really nice shojo
4- the world god only knows- it's a funny and great story
5-Tokyo ESP- it's a WTF at the beginning but, it's a great story
6- Ichigo 100% - it's a great slice of life with somewhat realistic chapters and situations that happen in real life
7-Shino-chan cannot say her own name- ( SHINO-CHAN WA JIBUN NO NAMAE GA IENAI)- it's a great story, it's a new one from the writer of Aku no Hana, very diffent and sweet
8-Fortress of the Apocalypse- (Apocalypse no toride) really hardcore stuff
9- /Blush.DC- it's really sexual if love fan services and sad story the this is for you
10-The Lion of March (sangatsu no lion)- not much i can say about this just check it out
11-Prison School (Kangoku Gakuen)- this is a world were men are nothing compare to the women, some messed up stuff happen in this manga.

"Uchuu Kyoudai"

Kimi no Iru Machi (Only if your into love storys and such; very good art; dramatic plot)
Detective Conan (One of my favorite Mangas; Ultra long; Fast plot latley; classic; Nice art)
Fairy Tail (About to go classic; Nice drawings; Nice plot; Character design is not innovative)

I was recently trying to upgrade to the latest version. Something happened and my update failed and I can't seem to recover. Have tried many things with no success.
I was foolish and did not backup up /opt/zimbra before running the upgrade. I do have a clonezilla backup from a few months ago I can restore, but am wondering if there is a way to import users and mail from the /opt/zimbra I broke when I tried to upgrade.
I know I made a mistake by not backing up /opt/zimbra, but if someone can help me, I may be able to avoid getting fired.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- One of the top anchors at ESPN is joining the chorus claiming the Tampa Bay Rays' location is a major league letdown.
The article was posted late Wednesday by Steve Berthiaume, one of ESPN's top baseball anchors.
It's well researched, and it sums up a lot of the back-and-forth we've seen here on the Rays' future. But it definitely takes a side.
The headline? "Rays need to get out of Tampa Bay."
"The Tampa Bay Rays must be moved."
That's the first line of a story that goes on to lay out well the list of challenges facing one of baseball's best-playing, but least-watched teams.
ESPN's Steve Berthiaume calls Tropicana Field "gloomy." The lease that keeps the club there until 2027? "Suffocating."
"Baseball needs to lower its rope and let the Rays climb out of their sinkhole," he says, arguing baseball commissioner Bud Selig should step in and arrange a move for the club to some other city.
Berthiaume goes on to question whether a new stadium in Tampa would do much to drag the Rays out of their empty-seat slump.
In an almost-apology, he writes "This is not about assigning blame. The Rays have some passionate and supportive fans. There are simply not enough of them."
He cites the Buccaneers' recent run of blacked-out home games and the Lightning's middling attendance, despite a Stanley Cup run.
A high rate of unemployed and struggling workers, lots of elderly and short-term residents, and not a lot of big corporate partners all line up -- Berthiaume argues -- to make Tampa Bay a town not cut out to host a big league ball club.
However, he packs nearly the entire other side of the argument into one long, glossed-over sentence.
First, there's the Rays' lease with the City of St. Petersburg.
Mayor Bill Foster says the city's simply not budging. 10 News has not seen any firm figures released on how many millions of dollars it would cost the Rays or Major League Baseball to break that lease.
Plus, there's no other city out there waiting to welcome this team.
Portland, Oregon and Norfolk, Virginia have joined Las Vegas and Charlotte as potential sites for other teams in the past. Even the largest of those areas has half of Tampa Bay's population.
And those communities would have to summon the political will and money to build a new half-billion dollar big league ballpark.
If you're looking to prove the critics wrong and support the St. Pete Sluggers, the Rays will be home on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for games against the Reds at Tropicana Field.

Sweet Maria's Weblog
Mountains of Gold and Bonko Black Sun (!)
I added two new lots today. Costa Rica Tarrazu -Montes de Oro is from a small Micro Mill and farm run by Emilio Gamboa and his family. In a cupping with Costa Rica farmers here at Sweet Maria's a month ago, this coffee impressed everyone, and it still does today! It is also one of the early lots in which we are transitioning to our new scoring system! Check it out. We have used the new numbers on our second lot too, another stellar dry-processed Ethiopia in a season of gems; Ethiopia Organic DP Bonko "Black Sun." (It's our new favorite name too). -Tom
Roasted Coffee Pairings
So if you have followed our coffee roasting, we have decided to take it in a new direction... and we are pretty excited about it. Roasted coffee pairings means 1 lb each of 2 coffees, selected to illustrate a specific cup quality, processing difference, cultivar comparison ... the possibilities are nearly endless. For more information see our Roasted Ordering Page. To start we are roasting a Wet-Process versus a Pulp-Natural coffee from the exact same harvest of the exact same estate. It's rare to have a chance to evaluate the difference in these post-harvest treatments when all the other variables are the same. I roasted the El Salvador Finca Mauritania to 432 f, a City+ roast, and used the exact same roast curve for both coffees. I noticed the Pulp Natural took a little bit more heat and time to roast ... interesting. The flavor difference we experienced in cupping the samples before this roast session were subtle, but with more rest they became clear. The Wet-Process is a refined coffee, more dynamci, vivid brightness, clean flavors, lighter body. The Pulp Natural has thicker body, quite evident, with fruited and chocolate backdrop to the cup and lower acidity. It shows how processing influences the final cup flavors, and helps the taster to define their palate preferences by presenting two clear differences. Let's see where the chips fall in terms of which is favored, traditional wet-process or this hybrid process, used most widely in Brazil. We also are announcing our next 4 roast sessions (2 weeks apart, roughly, so 2 months total), and up until the next Pairing, you can actually order the complete set of 4 (a great gift as well). Here's our plan for the next 2 months: 1 All Out Africa Slugfest Is Kenya or Ethiopia the regining "King of All Africa Coffee?" Both certainly produce phenomenal lots of bright, floral, vividly fruited coffees. How do they rate head-to-head. We choose Kenya Marua Peaberry versus Ethiopia Wet-Process Kebado as representatives for this special pre-Holiday roast session. This pairing will definitely solicit comment from your holiday dinner guests, as each of these are top-pick coffees for 2008. And with this weeks pairing, you have the rare chance to buy into the series of the next 4 roasts, a great gift to give (maybe even to yourself!) 2 Fruity of Fruited? How do fruity flavors manifest themselves in different coffees, ones derived from different processes? We want to compare the full-on Dry-Process of Ethiopia versus the hybrid Wet-Hull process of Indonesia. Here are two totally different origins. How does altitude, cultivar, and (perhaps most importantly) these "post-harvest" processing difference change the way that fruit comes out in the cup? We chose our new lot...
Brazil, El Salvador and Guatemala CoE
12/9: The new coffees keep comin'! We have listed just now Brazil Ipanema "Tree Dry Process", a coffee from an estate that is familiar to our customers, but this time as a dried on the tree coffee that makes an excellent coffee for espresso use, mildly fruited, strong chocolate roast taste, and heavy liquor-like body. Also two exceptional cofffees, El Salvador Peaberry "Aida's Grand Reserve", a great coffee of careful propagation, harvesting, picking, processing, and blending, and the Guatemala Cup of Excellence #1 -El Injerto, a 100% pacamara cultivar that is clean, sweetly fruited, and spicy in the cup. We are selling this Guatemala CoE coffee by half pounds, since it is so pricey.
And 3 new coffees today!
12/4: And 3 more new coffees today! Sulawesi Toraja Sapan-Minanga, Kenya Auction Lot 738- Maura Peaberry, and Ethiopia Organic Wet-Process Kebado!
