The shipping world is undergoing massive change, and both of Puget Sound's big ports — Seattle and Tacoma — have more to worry about than each other.
I cover the waterfront, and it's in flux.
In March, the Grand Alliance shipping lines decided to move from Seattle to Tacoma. When that happens in July, it will take about 20 percent of the container business from the Port of Seattle, more if lines associated with the alliance, Zim and Hamburg Sud, decide to go, too.
The good news is that the Grand Alliance will still call in Washington. The bad: The state's two biggest ports are largely fighting each other for existing business rather than adding much. For example, in 2009, Maersk Lines moved from Tacoma to Seattle.
Seattle is North America's seventh-biggest container port; Tacoma ranks No. 11 and is soon to rise. Both are critical elements for one of America's most trade-dependent states. The ports generally earn revenues from tenants that operate terminals and lease space, as well as from tax-levy dollars usually used for general obligation debt or infrastructure and transportation.

Beneath this rivalry is one harsh reality: Puget Sound ports have been slowly losing market share against most of their West Coast rivals since the mid-2000s.
Tacoma's ambitions have been sharpened by the victory. Last month, the port released its new strategic plan with very specific initiatives to build business, make investments and retain its existing customers.
While talk in parts of the industry was that Tacoma put in such an extremely low bid to win the Grand Alliance that its terminal operator, Washington United Terminals, and ultimately the port, might not make money on the deal, port Chief Executive John Wolfe scoffs at the scuttlebutt.
"Our terminal operators have constructed terminals that have much higher capability of volumes than we see today," he said. "We intend to ensure there's profits in this new business. They will create jobs and economic wealth through terminal activity and remain profitable."
Excess capacity is not Tacoma's only advantage. Another is that much of the port has dockside rail service, eliminating the nonunion, short-haul trucking of Seattle — which became a source of loud protests by organized labor when the Grand Alliance was making its decision.
"We believe (dockside rail) is an advantage," Wolfe said. "It's a less expensive, more efficient move. It's more environmentally friendly. Reducing the carbon footprint is paramount to success of the business. Shipping lines are focused on that."
Tacoma is primarily a seaport, focused on that business, unlike Seattle with diverse operations including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and cruise facilities. Tacoma's port is separated from the urban core and faces no pushback from waterfront gentrification, for now. One trucker told me it's a much faster and easier port to serve than congested Seattle.
Tacoma embraces its industrial identity. People wear T-shirts that say, "Gritty Tacoman." As opposed to, say, a latte-quaffing, effete Seattleite. This translates into strong backing for the seaport.
Even so, a peculiar tension grips the Gritty Tacoman, the Tac in Sea-Tac airport. He or she is caught between "Hell, no, we're not Seattle and we're glad of it" and "Why don't people give us the respect they give Seattle?"
The roles were once reversed, when the Northern Pacific Railroad announced in 1873 that Tacoma would be its western terminus, outraging Seattle. But so rich were the possibilities in the Puget Sound region that eventually four transcontinentals would reach here, now consolidated and pared down to two.
Seattle, beneath its ambivalence about it, is a world-class city that also has a seaport. The city's glitter and advanced technology reputation obscures the fact that the Port of Seattle is the backbone of the blue-collar middle class. Seattle hasn't thrown away its working port, as happened in San Francisco and San Diego.
Advantages: It's built out with advanced infrastructure to handle the biggest ships. Major rail yards, such as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe's Seattle International Gateway, are close to the docks and have state-of-the-art gantry cranes to transfer containers, or "cans," as they are called in the business. Port officials say the congestion in places such as Harbor Island will be short-lived.
Also, Seattle is working to be the "green gateway," North America's most environmentally well-managed port.
Disadvantages: The short-haul or drayage truckers. One can argue about the short distance to the rails, and drayage is commonplace at other ports, but the Teamsters have made the dismal working conditions of these largely immigrant drivers a cause. Also, the port is in the city center, a beautiful work of industrial art until you're stuck in traffic because of an eighteen-wheeler or slow-moving 100-car train.
Seattle's private terminal operators likely don't have the ability to match the low costs of their counterparts in Tacoma, at least for now. Jobs will be lost with the Grand Alliance move.
Tay Yoshitani, chief executive of the Port of Seattle, said of the Grand Alliance move, "Obviously, it has an impact. The Century Agenda goal is 3.5 million TEUs in 25 years and this sets us back. It's not the end of the world but it puts us in the wrong direction. It's just another iteration of a race to the bottom. The service may be cheaper. But the region will be the loser. This further eroded our pricing power."
Without pricing power, the ports ultimately can't continue making infrastructure investments to be competitive.
The Century Agenda is the Port's own strategic plan. In 2011, the Seattle port handled more than 2 million TEUs, or twenty-foot-equivalent units, the standard measure for intermodal containers meant to go from ship to train to truck. Tacoma saw 1.5 million TEUs.
Seattle and Tacoma collaborate on some issues. Yoshitani argues that "the most powerful solution would be a port authority that includes Tacoma and Seattle."
Wolfe is cool to the idea, to say the least. "It might seem fairly simple, but it would be much more complicated," he said. "We're very fortunate to have local governance associated with the port."
Tacoma doesn't see a consolidation in its best interests.
Said Wolfe, "King County values its Port. We do (ours) as well."
Yoshitani concedes, "It would be extremely difficult if not impossible politically."
Washington has some 75 port authorities, although most are not seaports.
Indeed, not even Los Angeles and Long Beach are consolidated even though they adjoin each other. Each has its own governance. Rare examples of rivals being joined are found in New York/New Jersey and Vancouver, B.C.
Yet another reality is that the shipping world is undergoing massive change, and both of Puget Sound's big ports have more to worry about than each other.
In early 2015, a wider Panama Canal will allow Asian shippers, which account for more than 90 percent of Washington's container traffic, to send more goods directly to the East Coast.
Canada's two big railroads have bought and consolidated American rail lines to make it easier to send goods from Canadian ports to the U.S. Midwest, the bread-and-butter market of Puget Sound imports. Of special concern is Prince Rupert, closest to Asia, heavily subsidized by the Canadian government and with a rail straight shot to Chicago and beyond.
The Port of Los Angeles, which already has a coveted home market of 13 million consumers, recently committed to spending $3 billion for terminal, rail and other infrastructure.
The ports of Seattle and Tacoma are run by smart people who understand the threat and the stakes.
The question is whether they can move beyond a natural rivalry to effectively take on the real competition.

Oklahoma City police identify man found dead after hotel room standoff
A man who threatened police and was surrounded by a tactical team at an Oklahoma City hotel was found in the room dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Clyde C. Boyette III, 47, died about 10:50 p.m. Wednesday, ending a daylong standoff, police Master Sgt. Gary Knight said. Police were investigating the death as a suicide.
Boyette barricaded himself in a hotel room at NW 63 and Robinson Avenue about 12:20 a.m. Wednesday.
Investigators on Wednesday were trying to determine exactly what happened, Knight said.
Officers were there looking for another man, Justin Tyner, 32, who was wanted on a felony warrant, police reported.
Tyner was not there, but Boyette was in the room and police said he threatened them.
Police called in a tactical team and attempted to
Boyette released two women from the room
Another man was held hostage, Knight said.
That man came out of the room about 10:50 p.m. and told police that Boyette apparently shot himself, Knight said.
The hostage's name was not released by police.
Police later learned Tyner had been arrested in Norman and was in the Cleveland County jail at the time of the standoff, Knight said.
Tyner was wanted on an outstanding Cleveland County felony warrant of uttering a forged instrument and possessing a false identification card, according to the Oklahoma Supreme Court

Detente a Casualty of Crackdown; U.S. Foundation Closes in Protest
Byline: Tom Carter, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Washington-based Cuba Policy Foundation closed this week, claiming that President Fidel Castro's latest crackdown on dissent had ruined its campaign to improve relations between the United States and the communist-ruled island.
"All of us are appalled at the recent executions and jailings in Cuba," it said in a statement.
"The regime's sudden wholesale repression of human rights is incomprehensible as a matter of policy, and unacceptable as a matter of principle. ... Daily operations of the foundation will cease as of this date," it said Wednesday.
Since March, nearly 80 opposition figures have been arrested, many of whom have since been sentenced to 20 to 28 years in prison.
Earlier this month, Cuba further inflamed its supporters by executing three men for hijacking a ferry in a bid to reach the United States.
On Wednesday, the Cuba Policy Foundation's (CPF) entire board of directors resigned.
"This was explosive sabotage by Castro on U.S. efforts to ease sanctions," CPF Executive Director Brian Alexander said of Cuba's crackdown.
"It is clear that Fidel Castro is not interested in improved relations with the United States. You never know what bomb he is going to throw over the fence," Mr. Alexander said.
The high-profile lobbying group was formed to promote engagement with the communist island after the saga of 6-year-old shipwreck survivor Elian Gonzalez, who was forcibly returned to Cuba by the Clinton administration.
The group had lobbied for legislation to ease travel restrictions to Cuba and to ease the U.S. economic embargo.
It had also taken members of Congress and their staffs to Cuba on fact-finding tours to meet government officials and dissidents.
Mr. Alexander said it was particularly appalling that those congressional trips to Cuba were used as evidence by Mr. …

I am 50, I am married and my daughter is 22 but does not live with us. My husband has a sex mate he has been going out with for 17 years and he brought her home recently. We all sleep in the same room, on the same bed and my husband has sex with her in my presence. He told me about her sometimes back that he wanted her to have a child for him. The issue of having sex with her while I am present started last November. Whenever they are making love, I never react but last week, they nearly pushed me out of bed. Later, I told my husband to stop messing around if he is not having a child with her again. Really, he likes sex but I have tried my best to satisfy him despite the fact that I don't really like it. He served in the military and had many women then. I don't know this woman's mission, please help me.
Do I tell my daughter?

Please find your way out before you die of hypertension.
If he really married u, then i feel u are s****d!
if it is Abuja kind of marriage u better keep quite cos u are not married yet!
Based on proper marriage , military or no military, how on earth could u bear that kind of psychological torture of facing ur hubby have sex with another person in the same bed with u?
It is unimaginable! are u really a NIGERIAN?
becos i can,t understand why you should allowed your husband girlfriend to sleep on the same bed and had sex on your head,,,? MADAM you agreed with your husband to pregnant her so that she will have child for him without marriage right?he is loving her now,
MADAM,, you know that your husband like sex and have many girlfriends as a military man before and after you married him right? and now you have got what you wanted from him and you are geting tired of de marriage right?/
please take it or you pack out from that house if you dont want to die young,,
and forget about thinkin juju on ur husband eye,,it is loveee and that thing you are no longer giving him,,and advice ur duaghter not to make this whole mistake of you,,
Lastly my advice to you, is dont try to act any thing funny against that man or the womans live is only God that judges ok watch you ya steps.
Did your husband force you to be present while they are having sex
Did you live in one room or have one bed in your house
As for bringing her home, that may happen but as for having sex at your presence on the bed without an order for you to stay and witness it is unbelievable
As for what to do it depends on how you see it.
What she needs is a AK-47 to blow his head off.....na him craze or what??? he is very f*****h kmt even if he like sex how rude..........this woman is even more of a f**l.....if na me him do this kind thing ..i would boil water and in the middle of the night pour it over his kolo kolo....he would never forget him....true talk.
How can a woman be facing the greatest torment of her life and passively be asking funny questions when she could have easily committed "mass murder".
Since the love of God runs in her veins seriously, she can walk away from the yeye marriage and allow the man to satisfy his longing for more children (na free sex the man want, no b pickin). Marriage should not be this humiliating
did dis really f**kin happened
Kill ur f**kin husband n d f**kin p*ssy a$$ b*tch
i advice u to tell your daughter and also take a drastic measure by moving out of that house as not to die b/4 ur time.this is an eye sore.

Wanting to draw attention to an effort to increase the federal hourly minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan and ex-Gov. Ted Strickland are spending the week attempting to live on the current amount — sort of.
Strickland, a Democrat, said he's fighting a cold and using Tylenol and nasal spray he has in his medicine cabinet.
"If I was paid the minimum wage, I wouldn't be able to afford" either, he said Monday on a conference call.
Less than two days into the "Live the Wage Challenge," Strickland said, "It's been really, really tough."
The challenge is organized by Americans United for Change, a Democratic advocacy group.
Both Strickland and Ryan, of Howland, D-13th, said they have the benefit of having items in their homes that they will use during the challenge.
Ryan, the father of a newborn, said he has plenty of diapers and medicine.
"Every day, hard-working Americans still struggle to make ends meet, and this challenge will give me an opportunity to walk in their shoes, although nothing could ever give me a full perspective of the hardships these men and women endure on a daily basis," Ryan said.
The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in five years.
Ohio is among 13 states that has a minimum wage higher than the federal amount. Ohio's minimum wage is $7.95.
A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year states increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10, which has the support of President Barack Obama and other Democrats, could result in the loss of 500,000 jobs.
But Ryan pointed to recent U.S. Department of Labor report showing the 13 states with higher minimum wages are adding jobs "at a faster pace than those that did not."
Increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour is "the essential step that needs to be taken so people who work hard" can have a livable wage, Ryan said.
Ryan was among four House Democrats in 2007 who attempted to live a week on $21, then the weekly equivalent of what the average person on Food Stamps received, worth of food.
Ryan failed after federal Transportation Security Administration employees confiscated glass jars of peanut butter and jelly he had in a carry-on bag while flying. He ate a pork chop before the week was done.
I love the effort, however, if they already HAD the things they needed for the week, that's not really living on minimum wage. Some people have had to LIVE like that for a lot longer than a week. A month on minimum wage would be a more realistic experience in my opinion.
A week does not impress me. Try a month and empty your house before you start. That will mean more to the people on minimum wage.
What a publicity stunt. There is simply no way these two bozos can experience what it's like to live on a minimum wage for a week with this caper.
When in DC Ryan spends more on cab fare than a person earns in a year on minimum wage.
As to Strickland, he could alway go to the emergency room for his health care like others on the minimum wage are forced to do.
The two have never visited a food pantry for groceries or had pick up used clothing to outfit them and their families.
Politicians are so out of touch with the rest of us.
Now living on minimum wage for a year would impress me and really give them a taste of the hard times but that ain't gonna happen.
Politicians are so good at spreading the wealth why don't they spread a little of their own and stay out of my pockets.
Seriously? This is nothing more than a publicity stunt. To truly live on minimum wage they needed to put away anything they already had in the cupboards and refrigerator. Minimum wage was NEVER meant to be a living wage - rather was a way to start one's career path. Where does it end?
Living on minimum wage isn't living in your house in the urban sprawling burbs, driving your late model SUV or going to a real grocery store. Living on minimum wage means living in neighborhoods that your safety is questionable, choosing to drive to the grocery store out in the burbs or making sure your child gets to where they need to be, eating meals high in carbs so there is enough for everybody, and possibly having to walk to get to places that are not a necessity.
Out of touch is an understatement. These two clowns have experienced white privilege for so long they even forgot learning about it in college. I haven't had to live on minimum wage for many years, but know these two don't even have a clue if they believe for one minute that this is living on minimum wage. Azzclowns.
How about we as voters really give this two a real dose of reality . Let's start a petition to lower their wages and benefits to the minimum wage.. After all, they are both way OVER paid for what they do.in Government
"Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.
" 'It raises serious questions about the claims that a raise in the minimum wage is a jobs disaster,' said John Schmitt, a senior economist at the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research. The job data 'isn't definitive,' he added, but is 'probably a reasonable first cut at what's going on.' "......taken from the AP article that Ryan "conveniently" used only the one statement that supported his cause. Typical democratic "Alinsky" playbook tactic, to "shape" the story to fit the rhetoric. It only takes common sense to deduct that if employers are already stretched to their limits with all of the "business-killing" mandates, such as "HusseinCare", there is no way they are going to want to hire, after being forced to pay a higher minimum wage. Actually common sense would dictate that employers having to absorb the higher " minimum-wage" salaries would either pass on the increases to their customers, or lay off employees. Think about it....you make "widgets" that you sell for $1.00, and you employ five people to make these "widgets", and you pay them $2.00 per hour to make them. The Feds step in and tell you you must now pay $3.00 per hour to your "widget" makers. Do you really think the employer is going to have his "profit margin" absorb these increases? Hell no! He's going to either raise the price of his product or cut back on his staff, or both! And maybe even lay off his entire staff, and have the "widgets" produced overseas, where they only charge ten cents to produce them. Way to go, Hussein, Ryan and Strickland!
What a joke. These two idiots should be a shamed of themselves for putting on this publicity stunt. They probably went grocery shopping and filled up the tank before they started. You both should be embarrassed. I dare either one of you to respond to the comments on this page.
Common sense is alive and well in Youngstown.
Thank all of you that stepped up and recognized these clowns for who they are and the political stunt they are pulling.
I'm proud of all of you.
I was just sitting here, and I'm wondering what's more hilarious . When Hillary came up telling people how broke they were after leaving the white House or these two clowns trying their best to fool the voting public with this stunt. It's really unbelievable what the liberturds will do to keep getting elected to office..........lmao
how about if everyone in the house live on 77 dollars a week,for ayear, and the rest of us live on 186 thousand?.
First- minimum wage was not meant to be a lifestyle.
Second- this is total trash political stunt.
Third- Maybe next week try the fair tax system were no taxes would be taken out but a purchase would have around 25% tax on it. And see how far their money goes.
Fourth- maybe just maybe that is all these two are worth is minimum wage!
Here is an idea. How about stop lowering the value of the dollar to the point where basic supplies are more affordable again instead of raising the minimum wage. Devaluing the dollar only helps the government by making their debt less valuable but severely hurts the lower and middle classes who can no longer afford to buy anything with the few dollars they make.
Billdog has it right. Ryan doesn't know what it is like to live on minimum wage. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never lacked his entire life.
I seriously doubt he would even get the impact with only a week. Anyone can do it for a week, do it for 3 months and see how many bills he would be behind on.

Epson stylus P50
I have a old Epson Stylus R800 that was a very good A4 printer. But the last year I have wasted so much ink on bad prints caused by cloging. Time to by a new printer! It seems that the Stylus P50 might be a good replasment. I need good quality pigment ink for archival use. Is this the printer to buy or do Canon/ Hp have better products?

What's Behind the Anemic Offense?
Five Reasons the Knicks Haven't Been Able to Score This Year; 14 Games Into the Season, a 'Crisis'
The Knicks have had plenty of problems over the past decade. There are all the losing seasons, Isiah Thomas, the bad contracts and Isiah Thomas. But a new problem, one that was previously unthinkable, has brought panic to this year's team. They can't score anymore.
Though they've had plenty of defensive failings, the Knicks' main problem over this 6-8 run has been their total helplessness around the basket. They were second in the NBA last year with 106 points per game. This year, they are 17th with 93.5. The Knicks have lost four straight games. Their coach, Mike D'Antoni, has thrown around the phrase "crisis," and we're only 14 games into a 66-game season. It's understandable if you've missed all the problems the Knicks have, or maybe you've slept through them. Either way, here's a very partial list of five reasons the Knicks can't score:
They Aren't Running an Offense
The Knicks' playbook is, to put it lightly, in flux. Star Carmelo Anthony often "isolates," meaning switch to a one-on-one style, and if he doesn't then Amar'e Stoudemire does. And if neither does, you've accidentally turned the channel to another game. (They've run the play 241 times and do it more often than any other team). Here's the scary part about the Knicks: despite their pleas to move the ball and have a faster pace, they are actually the already the third-fastest team in the NBA. They play around 93 possessions a game which trails only Denver and Miami. They rank 23rd with 99.5 points per 100 possessions. The problem, then, is lack of actual passing within the sped-up offense. D'Antoni said the team isn't "adhering to our offensive principles and we're not moving the ball. Then there's a lot of will to win and that translates to 'just give me the ball, let me do it' a lot guys need ball movement to score."
No Point Guard
In Wednesday night's loss to the Phoenix Suns, which featured prototype D'Antoni point guard Steve Nash on the other side, Knicks starting point guard Iman Shumpert had two assists on the night. The Knicks' total lack of ball movement can be traced back to this: Their point guard platoon is the rookie Shumpert, Toney Douglas, who is not a natural point guard and the 33-year-old Mike Bibby, who can't play much more than the 15 minutes he gets a night. Because there's no real point guard, the ball usually winds up in Anthony hand's, which is effectively the end of the possession. Baron Davis, out with a herniated disc since signing with the Knicks in December, could be the answer when he returns later this month, but any loss of speed would prove disastrous for him in D'Antoni's up-tempo system.
Bad Shooters
The entire NBA is shooting poorly—the league-wide field-goal percentage is down nearly 2%—from 45.9% to 44.2%. Then, of course, there's the Knicks. Led by Anthony (41%), Stoudemire (40%), Douglas (32%) and Shumper (39%), the Knicks are 28th in the NBA in making shots with 41%.
Most alarmingly, they can't make easy shots, either. According to Synergy Sports, the Knicks make 33% of guarded shots in catch-and-shoot situations, which is actually in the top half of the league. Somehow, though, they make just 31.8% of their unguarded shots in those situations. They also make just 26% of all shots within 17 feet. D'Antoni said the missed shots is a league-wide phenomenon but "what's not to be expected is the ball movement. We've had stuff where we move the ball great and miss wide open shots. That's OK, but we can't miss wide open shots mixed with bad possessions."
They Play Defense Now
For now, the gamble of dumping point guard Chauncey Billups, and his offense, in favor of defensive fortress center Tyson Chandler looks like it may be a flop. Chandler has been fine, but he hasn't created some great defensive revolution—the Knicks allow the 16th-least points in the NBA with 94.9 and their offense has dipped from 106 to 93. There's a case to be made that the Knicks shouldn't even bother on the defensive end since their lack of success comes after the hiring of defensive coordinator Mike Woodson. They are also 20th in rebounds despite having three of the best big men in the game in Chandler, Anthony and Stoudemire.
Carmelo Isn't Healthy
Anthony injured his wrist and ankle last week at Memphis and since then, the following things have happened: He said he wouldn't use crutches because "they messed [his] swag up," he missed Saturday's loss against Oklahoma City, then returned, surprisingly, in Monday's loss against the Magic and in two appearances since, he's hit 28% of his 49 shots. Anthony was excused from practice on Thursday with a family issue, but he will play on Friday against Milwaukee. D'Antoni said Anthony may be struggling with gripping the ball from the wrist injury. "It's just tough, when you're that good and that talented, to say, 'Well I think today I'm not going to do it.' It's tough and in his mind, every shot, he's going to try to make it and you have to respect that," he said."

Passions flair among the Turkish glitterati when art gallery owner Eda (Tekland), frustrated by her poet husband's alcohol-induced impotence, wanders from the straight and narrow and gets involved with artist friend Erdal (Gunsiray). The film adds little to the myriad other variations on the eternal triangle, but leading lady Tekland goes through the motions with a modicum of physical commitment. Be prepared for the odd splash of unintentional hilarity in this would-be sophisticated milieu (earnest discussions of Leonard Cohen's poetry and music rub shoulders with some of the most embarrassing disco scenes since Basic Instinct).

Michael L. White, Extension Viticulture Specialist, Central Area
Problem Statement:
The Midwest native winery business has grown exponentially over the last 8 years. Iowa alone has grown from 13 federally licensed wineries in the state in 2000 to 72 as of October of 2008. The number of winegrape vineyards increased from approximately 5 to 400 in the same period of time. Native Iowa wine sales have grown from 44,928 gallons ending in state fiscal year 2002 to 170,478 gallons during the same period in 2008. Native wine sales growth over the last year increased 14%. The majority of this wine is being produced by hobby winemakers who jumped into the commercial winemaking business without any formal training. Providing a source of mentoring and formal training to these new Midwest winemakers is and will be essential to ensure the wine quality and business expertise needed to maintain this new industry over time.
Programmatic Response:
Mike White, Viticulture Specialist with ISU Extension's Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute partnered with Robert Dodds, Lee County Extension & Education Director and Sandy McLain, Van Buren County Extension & Education Director to organize a workshop for new and potential commercial winemakers in southeast Iowa, an area where the one year old Scenic Rivers Wine Trail now boasts 13 wineries. The e-mail promotional flyer was sent to Iowa's and neighboring states. Michael Pence of Heartland Harvest Winery in Fort Madison, Iowa agree to host the workshop and Alan Dillard, winemaking consultant and owner of Limestone Creek Winery in Jonesboro, Illinois was hired to be the primary instructor. Alan Dillard concentrated primarily on white and red wine production, winery equipment and design. Michael Pence demonstrated several wine laboratory methods of analysis and Mike White gave an overview of some successful small winery business practices. This 2-day workshop was held on Friday & Saturday, November 14-15, 2008 for a fee of $335 per individual.
Fifteen individuals (3 – WI, 1- MO, 3-NE, 8- IA) attended the Small Scale Winemaking Workshop in Ft. Madison. Seven owned a commercial vineyard, three were new commercial winemakers. Eight of the fifteen students intended to establish a winery in the future. Six of the Iowa attendees were from southeast Iowa. The overall "end of workshop" evaluation from this class was 4.83 (1 poor – 5 excellent). 100% of the respondents would recommend this workshop to someone else. They also gave a 4.83 rating for the personal economic value of this workshop. The personal mentoring Alan Dillard offered to the participants of this workshop and the relationships established between the students and instructors will provide added economic and social benefits for many years to come.

This was an awesome tour! Anna did a Super job as uour tour leader . The guide who took us around the Colosseum was very Good Also. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Colosseum . dinner was outstanding and the view from the roof top was amazing. !
This trip was the bomb! We had a really nice dinner first at the Hotel Forum. Had a bit of a view, but not awe-inspiring. Food was delicious. Then we walked over to the Colosseum and met our night guide. This fellow knew it all. We went from the bottom to the top, and I learned something at every stop. It is really expensive, but the group is small and there are few people in there at night, so you felt like the VIP's they say your are.
Outstanding food, great guide, and getting to see areas of the Colosseum that no one else sees, was truly a highlight.
Excellent value. The evening's dinner was not only enjoyable, but, the setting was as well. With appetizing entree choices, the rooftop venue provide an atmosphere perfect for couples. The Colosseum night tour was excellently done by Francesca, and the tour's contact point, was very helpful, and informative as well, going out of her way to make sure all participants were comfortable, and enjoying the evening.
Incredible experience facilitated beautifully by our guide Massimo. The dinner at the forum was beautiful, classic italian with outstanding service and stunning views over the Italian Forum. The tour itself at night is breathtaking taking this tour and avoiding the crowds is the way to go. Our guide inside was outstanding and I hung on every word she said. take this tour if you want a truly unique experience.
Dinner at the Forum was amazing. The food and service were impeccable. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. He recommended a great place for dinner the next night and other sights to see. Once we got to the Colosseum it was beautiful. The guide there gave us lots of information and the tour was great because we pretty much had the place to ourselves and didn't have to deal with the day time crowds.
Dinner was fabulous! Interesting seeing the Colosseum at night, guide very informative.
So glad that we did this. The colosseum at night is beautiful. The day tours are so crowded and this was a very nice, small group with a personalized tour. Dinner was lovely and delicious.
We were not sure about this tour as the reviews appeared mixed. First off...We found the food at The Hotel Forumn to be very good. Yes, the restaurant is a bit dated but that only added to the charm for us. We had a view of the forumn from our table and we were able to have our own table, not forced to sit with others we did not know on the tour.
What a lovely way to start a tour! The waiters were super attentive, and as it started to get dark and dinner and dessert, was over btw I am gluten free and they served a fabulous gluten free pasta we took a brief walk to The Forumn. There were about 16 people in our tour and that was not too many. There was no line, and with a full moon rising we entered the Colosseum. This was our first night in Rome and what a fabulous way to begin!!! The Colosseum at night is NOT brightly lit. It is just right to give you the wonderful feel that you are walking on sacred ground. I wish I could recall the name of the young lady leading the tour...She was simply delightful and told the compelling story and history of The Colosseum. The underground access was amazing. We chatted later in the week with tourists who had just visited the Colosseum during the day and it was hot and very crowded. We maybe saw one other tour group ahead of us but it was timed to make you feel like we were there by ourselves. There is quite a bit of walking but if one asks, there are elevators and the Viator tour guides go above and beyond to accomodate one's needs We were not rushed at all. Just be prepared to do a bit of walking and to have to look for a taxi after. There is no taxi line at the exit. Make sure to ask your guide where to pick up a cab, a bunch of us got lost.
This tour was fabulous. Starting from our rooftop dinner at the Hotel Forum to our private tour of the Colosseum, everything was perfect! Our tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable! The food was absolutely delicious and the views were magnificent!
This tour was amazing!
Excellent guides
The rooftop dinner was one of the most enjoyable we had while in Rome. The food was incredible, the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant was elegant and beautiful., complete with live piano music. The Colosseum speaks for itself. It is magnificent. Seeing it at night was an incredible experience. We were the only ones there. The eerie feeling of the underground dungeons and passages with private tour was quite a privilege. It was an incredible evening.
Of all the tours we did on our 10 day trip to Italy, this was our absolute FAVORITE!!! Dinner was GREAT food and service wise and to seeing the Colosseum without the crowds was a HIGHLIGHT!!!!! It allowed you to have a bit of space to absorb the incredible architecture of the building and marvel at the historic aspects of the events in this epic arena. This is worth EVERY penny you pay and if we could rate it 6 out of 5 stars we would.
Food and rooftop view were fantastic. I would have liked more time to enjoy the restaurant. The tour of the colosseum was magical. Very private and the guide brought the colosseum to life with her narrative.
Favorite part of our trip to Rome.
We really enjoyed the dinner on the rooftop, our tour guides and colosseum night tour. The food / wine at the restaurant was amazing. The view was spectacular overlooking ancient Rome and watching the sunset as we ate such a yummy meal. I really enjoyed the desert which I chose terra misu . Our tour at the Colosseum was everything and more than I expected. It was great mssing the crowds and to be able to see everything in such detail without being rushed. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and you could see the passion she had wanting to ensure we didn't miss anything. Thanks for an amazing experience. We loved it !
Dinner was fantastic. The tour was good except that the colosseum tour guide needed to speak clearer and louder.
Our favorite your of all the ones we booked!! Marchello was SO great! Our dinner was amazing, so delicious and perfect timing at sunset. Touring the coliseum at night--nice and cool, no crowds, great guide and plenty of time to see everything. Well done!! Highly recommend this!!
Absolutely Fabulios! The meal was amazing. The tour of the Colosseum at night, is one of the top 10 things I ever experienced in my life! Our tour guides were informative and interesting. Would I do it again, YES !!! Do I recommend this tour, Absolutely, Go For It and ENJOY!
This tour was amazing!
Brilliant! Simple as that. Nothing more to say!
Avoid the crowds, just spend a bit more cash, you get a fantastic tour guide, have a fantastic meal and then get the place almost to yourselves
We loved every minute of it and it was the best tour we did in the whole of Italy during our 3 week trip from Australia.
Just spend the extra cash, avoid the crowds and go at night!
There was a group of 4 of us that booked this tour. I could not be happier with the entire experience. We had a tour guide that was knowledgeable and was right to the point with her delivery. She was a gem for sure. After the incredible dinner we then went for our night tour of the coliseum. We actually had the lead archaeologist on the restoration project as our guide. Everybody that plans a trip to Rome should book this tour. Amazing does not do it justice.
Absolutely awesome tour!!
The food is to die for! Best 4 course meal you will have in Rome. Great wines - and enough!!. Restaurant setting is jaw dropping and really 'grand'. Nice surprise with the live music we had.
The tour itself is great. Quiet, no sun! Just you, your fellow group members we were 14 and the guide.
Loved the experience. Best treat you can give yourself in Rome!
Great tour! The food was amazing....it came with four large courses, water, wine, and champaign. The tour at the colosseum was also very well done and at night there was hardly anyone there. I highly recommend the tour!
