Committee on Elimination of DiscriminationAgainst Women
19 July 2013
The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women today considered the combined fourth and fifth periodic report of Bosnia and Herzegovina on its implementation of the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.Introducing the report, Samra Filipovic-Hadziabdic, Director of the Agency for Gender Equality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that the country counted with a complex and decentralised constitutional and institutional structure, with federal, entity, and municipal levels. The law on gender equality was the main implementing legislation of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Training on the Convention had been provided to legal professionals; cooperation with civil society was good and funding had been allocated for the national action plan on gender equality. Specific policies and actions had been adopted on domestic violence, rural women, Security Council resolution 1325, and on gender-responsible budgeting. The new gender action plan recognised the need for further investment in a coordinated and multi-institutional approach. Committee Experts raised several issues of concern including the complexity of the various systems of governance and the need to harmonise laws along different levels. Gaps in the data provided were pointed out and questions raised about the methodology for future data collection exercises. Concern was also expressed about negative stereotypes and efforts to combat their reproduction through educational and social measures. Experts noted the low employment rates and asked about efforts to promote female entrepreneurship, as well as the participation of minorities and persons with disabilities in the labour market. The status of victims of violence during the armed conflict and their access to justice and reparations were also discussed. In concluding remarks, Ms. Filipovic-Hadziabdic hoped that the Committee's concluding remarks and observations would help with future work and that gender mainstreaming would be recognised in the European integration processes. Ms. Filipovic-Hadziabdic also hoped that the Committee would do more to push the European Commission to increase the importance of women's rights in membership negotiations. Also in concluding remarks, Ismat Jahan, Vice-Chairperson of the Committee, thanked the delegation for the responses provided and the constructive dialogue. The Committee called on Bosnia and Herzegovina to take all necessary measures to implement the recommendations.The delegation of Bosnia and Herzegovina included representatives from the Agency for Gender Equality, the Permanent Mission of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the United Nations Office at Geneva, the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees, the Parliamentary Assembly, and the Gender Centre. The Committee will next meet in public on Thursday, 25 July, at 11:30 a.m., to hold a panel discussion on HIV/AIDS. The Committee will conclude its session on Friday, 26 July.
Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina The combined fourth and fifth periodic report of Bosnia and Herzegovina is available here (CEDAW/C/BIH/4-5).Presentation of the ReportSAMRA FILIPOVIC-HADZIABDIC, Director of the Agency for Gender Equality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that the war that had broken out in 1992 had had a huge impact on the demography of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina had a complex and decentralised constitutional and institutional structure; and a network of institutional mechanisms for gender issues at all levels of legislative and executive powers had been established. There were three institutional mechanisms to achieve gender equality, and the Agency for Gender Equality and the Gender Centres were the main drivers of initiatives. The law on Gender Equality was seen as the main implementing legislation of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and there was an action plan in place to define activities and deadlines for all relevant actors. Training on the Convention was provided to judges, prosecutors, police officers, members of the armed forces, and civil servants, among others. Civil society organizations had been consulted in the preparation of this report, which had also been adopted by the Council of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly. Specific policies had been adopted, among other issues, on domestic violence, rural women, Security Council resolution 1325, and on gender-responsible budgeting. A financial mechanism for the implementation of the action plan had been created and was recognised as a model of good practice regarding local ownership, funds had also been secured for the next five years. Relevant material and procedural legislation contained provisions relating to discrimination and victims could seek redress through disciplinary, civil and criminal procedures depending on the type of discrimination faced. Clear guidance had been provided at all levels of government regarding the adoption of temporary special measures, which were expected to regulate specific areas of social life where there was evidence of gender inequalities. An action plan and coordination body for action on Security Council resolution 1325 had been established, and this had led to an increased number of women in the police and armed forces. Gender mainstreaming regarding the position of rural women had been introduced through an action plan. Domestic violence had long been seen as a private issue but the intensity of interventions had increased in the last decade. Protection laws had been harmonised to the best possible extent and a strategy based on a holistic approach included a multi-disciplinary response and prevention activities. There were 10 safe houses and two help lines and the Istanbul Convention would be ratified soon; however, violence was still prevalent and a recent study showed that just under half of all women had been exposed to some form of violence in the last 12 months. The highest prevalence of these cases involved current or previous partners and it was thought that this situation stemmed from prevailing systemic gender inequality in both public and private spheres. With regards to sexual violence during the conflict in the 1990s, although the judiciary had made progress to end impunity, more needed to be done to ensure that all cases were processed and that victims received redress. A programme had been drafted to emphasise the State's responsibility to improve victims' access to reparations and legal assistance. A 40 per cent quota for women in elections to legislative bodies had been established as a special measure. The number of women directly elected to the Parliamentary Assembly had doubled and there had been a small increase in local representation. Activities to promote female candidates had also been undertaken. Women were under-represented in the legislature and they lacked a critical mass to influence decisions to confirm proposed members of the Government. Women made up 51 per cent of all civil servants, 56 per cent of the members of the judiciary, and 48.5 per cent of prosecutors.As a result of the financial crisis, employment rates were in constant decline and this had contributed to a decrease in the budget allocated for full employment policies. However, public institutions had undertaken activities to stimulate women's employment. There was no data suggesting that women were paid less for work of equal value, but men dominated the labour market despite the fact that women were better educated than men. Bosnia and Herzegovina's complex structure meant that women did not enjoy equal protection and services in all parts of the country. Additional funding would ideally be available to the Agency and Gender Centres responsible for implementing necessary actions in all areas of the country. Human resources remained an issue and civil servants acting as ministries' gender focal points took on an additional burden as part of this role. The new gender action plan, to be adopted in a few weeks, recognised the need for further investment in a coordinated and multi-institutional approach. Questions by the ExpertsExperts inquired about the direct application of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, noting there had been only one case when it had been invoked. What was the reason for this, would case law be included in training for legal professionals? How easy was operating between Bosnia and Herzegovina's complex institutional structures and were there plans to review the Constitution to improve institutional efficacy? Response by DelegationFollowing the reception of the last recommendations from the Committee a thematic discussion had been held and these had also been discussed in Parliament. All laws needed to be in harmony with laws on equality. The provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women were transmitted down to the national level through this law. Limited resources meant it was easier to negotiate with some institutional structures than others, it was more difficult to sensitize cantonal and municipal levels on gender issues, though cooperation with non-governmental organizations was sought. Cases involving the use of the Optional Protocol served as the basis of training for the judiciary, civil servants and academia. There had not been a great number of complaints brought for contraventions of the equality law. Awareness raising activities were underway to make persons conscious of their rights. Bosnia and Herzegovina had been the first country to count a coordination board to monitor the implementation of Security Council resolution 1325, which included representatives from non-governmental organizations, the Department of Defence, the border police, demining groups and others. Not all members of Parliament considered women and gender issues to be important, but the Agency for Gender Equality was working hard to ensure their compliance on policy. The European Convention for Human Rights was the only instrument which was directly applied and superseded national law. Judges were expected to consider and apply the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women Convention in their judgments on gender issues. The complex system meant that Gender Centres were held responsible by their own government within the Federation. Examples of best practice were shared. The Agency for Gender Equality had asked for amendments to the various constitutions at the federal level so that persons could not bring cases claiming that special measures were discriminatory. Bosnia and Herzegovina was in a difficult financial position and, in terms of achieving gender mainstreaming, related programmes across different departmental budgets would be encouraged. Questions from ExpertsExperts asked if the Agency for Gender Equality was able to offer legal assistance to persons referred to the courts to file claims for instances of discrimination? What mechanisms were employed in effort to harmonise laws? Did the Agency have the power to implement the gender equality action plan? Were there plans in place to improve data collection and dissemination? Experts also inquired about efforts to integrate gender equality into constitutional law? Response by the DelegationResponding, the delegation said the Agency for Gender Equality could not provide assistance to victims, given the strict division between the judiciary and executive, but free legal aid was available. The Parliament had adopted a rule which established that the Agency had to be consulted with regards to legislation and this would now require a change in the by-laws of the Council of Ministers. The Agency did have the mandate to coordinate the implementation of the gender action plan and other legal documents. Problems were faced in relation to statistical data and a census would soon be competed. A number of organizations should cooperate and coordinate their working methodologies. There were already anti-discrimination provisions in the constitutions and, additionally, equality between men and women would be introduced through amendments. Questions from ExpertsExperts inquired about cultural barriers preventing women's participation in politics, even when the level of education was so high. Could the needs of minorities be better addressed through special measures and what could be done to integrate women with disabilities? What provisions were there for rural women and what was the role of teachers and clerics in breaking down stereotypes?Not much had been done to support victims of sexual violence after the conflict and there had been a low level of convictions, why hadn't legislation been amended to deal with this as a war crime? What process was foreseen for the development of the methodology mentioned? Experts suggested that the Agency's involvement in cases of domestic violence would show the Bosnia and Herzegovina's commitment to tackling this difficult issue.Could the delegation explain the gender dimension of measures targeting trafficking? The trafficking of human beings was not a criminal offence at the entity level, could the Delegation comment on this and provide information regarding the mandate of the national coordinator against trafficking? What training was offered to law enforcement staff? How were cases of underground women sex workers being addressed? Response by the DelegationIn response to these questions and comments and others, the delegation said there were certainly cultural barriers to female participation in politics, related to the reconciliation of professional and family life, and it was hoped that this would improve in following generations. Services such as childcare had been interrupted by the war and the complex political situation was also an issue; political processes were sometimes too complicated for women to want to participate. Political parties also had a male mindset. Quotas were in place but a critical mass at the highest level was sill needed.A survey had shown that women were not well represented in the media and work was being done to raise awareness on this issue. The Agency had tried to intervene to address stereotypes in textbooks, a master's degree in gender studies had been created to get gender experts into both the education system and the field. Not enough had been done to assist the victims of the civil war, but there were programmes that recognised their right to support. A system of reparations did not exist and there were no specific programmes for economic empowerment of these women. Religious figures had become more aware about domestic violence and gender issues, and some small-scale activities on gender equality had taken place. There were sustainable models of training for police staff. The Istanbul Convention had been ratified yesterday and preparations had been long underway to meet its provisions. A comparative analysis of data collection methods had been completed, which took into account existing data and institutions. Non-governmental organizations received support to provide safe houses for victims of trafficking. Laws on trafficking had been harmonised, a gender perspective had been integrated, and prostitution was illegal. Victims of trafficking were mostly displaced persons from female-headed households. The Agency and Gender Centres did not form part of the approach to tackling trafficking, but their role was to raise awareness concerning risks among society and young girls. Questions from ExpertsExperts asked if emergency protection for victims was available. Were other forms of violence, such as forced marriage and stalking, penalised under law? Did shelters and safe houses assist all female victims of violence, or only victims of domestic violence? Was legislation on trafficking harmonised at the entity level? How many countries had victim witnesses of trafficking been resettled to? How did the Delegation view the prosecution of instances of sexual violence in conflict? There were issues regarding the harmonisation of State and entity laws in relation to domestic violence, and prison sentences were only put forward in 16 per cent of the cases. How were trafficking and prostitution prosecuted if laws were still not harmonised, and how many successful prosecutions had there been? Were there plans in place to bring laws in line with the Istanbul Convention? How many safe houses were there and how were they funded? How many cases of femicide had there been registered? Experts also requested more information regarding the improvement of support provided to victims of conflict. How were domestic traffickers dealt with? Response by the DelegationThere were not enough prosecutions for cases of sexual violence in conflict due to stigma. While victims could be registered through non-governmental organizations, stigma meant that victims did not even want their families to know what had happened to them. It was sometimes useful for victims to count with support from other victims and groups that could facilitate this had received funding. A programme to better attend to the needs of victims had been proposed and was awaiting adoption. Emergency protection orders were available under the law, and forced marriage, harassment, and stalking were all considered crimes. There were 10 shelters for victims of violence open to all victims. Trafficking was dealt with at State level courts, State and entity laws had been harmonised, and there had been 23 cases in 2008 and 12 in 2009. Entity courts dealt with prostitution cases and no data was available on the number of victims resettled to their countries. Trafficking prosecutions were dealt with at the State level regardless of whether trafficked persons had been taken either within or outside Bosnia and Herzegovina. Questions from ExpertsThe current coalition Government would replace open electoral lists with closed electoral lists to improve female political participation, what was the latest update on this? The visibility of women in pre-electoral campaigns should be taken into account. Did the Government intend to encourage the broadcasting service to consider gender representation in their internal rules? Had regulations considering gender balance and geography in programming content been considered? Experts also requested additional information regarding gender representation in the diplomatic field. Efforts were needed to facilitate access to citizenship for Roma persons living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, would the State be willing to designate a focal point to address this issue? Steps were needed to improve access to birth registration, it had been reported that maternity wards did not refer births for registration when the mother could not afford to pay for delivery services. Response by the DelegationThe recommendation from the Parliamentary Commission to close election lists had been rejected, as certain political parties had claimed that this was undemocratic and constituted a step back. Other options were being considered. Work on an amendment to the law on broadcasting was underway, as well as changes to the codex for journalists in relation to anti-discriminatory reporting. Sanctions for broadcasting or press which portrayed men or women in a discriminatory manner were now in place, and this was clearly monitored. Some municipal councils counted with women majorities, and men were showing themselves to be important actors for gender equality.Women accounted for 24 per cent of the members of the diplomatic service, though this figure did not include one new appointment. A large action plan to improve the situation of the Roma in many areas, including health, education and housing, was in place. Roma women had access to child-delivery services free-of-charge, a vaccination programme was ongoing, and there were 364 housing units for the Roma population. The number of Roma girls leaving, or even attending, school was worrying, with only 2.5 per cent going into higher education. Four in five of these women were unemployed. Social inclusion was a priority and the gender action plan covered this group, Roma non-governmental organizations were funded whenever possible. Questions from ExpertsThe figures on school attendance rates for Roma children were inconsistent. There seemed to be gender segregation in secondary education, with young people veering towards what were seen as sex-appropriate subjects, could the statistics on the male to female ratio of staff and management in higher education be provided? There was a legal provision regarding the equal appearance of men and women in public broadcasting, was this provision effectively used before elections? Experts also requested clarification concerning the rates of Roma women married under 18 years of age.Had a review on ethnically segregated education policies been planned, and was teacher training also segregated in this way? Response by the DelegationResearch had shown that it was more difficult for women to obtain high-level posts in education. Funding for research was split 50/50 and this was skewed in favour of men as they were not as well represented. More women would join university management systems as the levels of masters and doctoral theses increased. The Ministry of Education had not been proactive in mainstreaming gender in their work, specifically referencing textbooks.Research carried out by the United Nations Children's Fund on Roma families had produced figures on marriage under the age of 18. A rulebook for the abolition of ethnically streamed schooling had been created. National equality was more of a concern than gender equality. Law schools covered human and gender rights.Questions from ExpertsHigh unemployment was a real obstacle for bringing women into the workplace, had measures to increase female employment been successful and what was being done to evaluate and improve these efforts? Some of women's rights were not sufficiently guaranteed and others were guaranteed though not well-implemented. Women faced issues in relation to pregnancy and maternity, particularly those on fixed term contracts. The right to compensation while on maternity leave did not seem to be well implemented across the entire country, what was being done to address this and were there legal rights and obligations for new fathers? Roma women were almost entirely excluded from the labour market. Was raising awareness enough and what additional measures could be taken? There were differences in access to healthcare between urban and rural areas and its provision was concentrated in cities, what steps had been taken to ensure women's access to healthcare? What was the status of the strategy on sexual and reproductive health and what actions had been taken to improve access to contraception? The number of cases of HIV had increased as a result of better diagnostics and increased risky behaviour. Were measures in place to address stigma around HIV or strategies to reduce risky behaviour? How many schools had been reached with messages about contraception? What measures had been put in place to ensure the provision of health and social care at the entity level? Was disaggregated data available regarding support offered to women affected by conflict? Did lesbian women have access to fertility treatment?Response by the DelegationSeveral awareness programmes on sexual harassment had been completed, in 2011 there had been 11 new cases of sexual harassment. The strategy for employment identified women as a vulnerable group and additional financial means and programmes were needed to target this group. There was a problem with multiple discrimination and fixed-term contracts, and the labour inspectorate was addressing this issue though training. Fewer Roma women were employed and this was connected to their level of education. The responsibility for social issues was held at the cantonal level and sometimes the provision of social benefits depended on the level of support offered. A new law with regards to maternity pay intended to unify the system. Women in rural areas faced reduced access to services but the strategy and action plan sought to improve this situation, particularly in relation to health services. New contraception methods were not fully in use, though lessons in the classroom were addressing this issue. There was no special strategy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) groups and they were not recognised in the health system, due to a lack of demand. Groups were given support to raise awareness on HIV issues and Bosnia and Herzegovina remained a low-risk country. Questions from ExpertsExperts wondered what percentage of Roma women were covered by health insurance? How much support was offered to women victims of conflict? It seemed that employers often did not want to cover maternity payments, were there measures in place to stop this practice? Roma women often worked in the grey economy and lacked access to health coverage, was the State doing anything to deal with this? How would the State monitor whether long periods of maternity pay prevented employers from hiring women? Was it the case that commercial sex workers were mentioned in legislation as "salesgirls of love," allowing them to sell sex even though prostitution was illegal? Once again, what was the availability and uptake of modern contraceptives? Response by the DelegationAn institutional fund had been established to ensure that all women received maternity payments. Sex workers were not treated as employed and were considered as a vulnerable group. There was a low prevalence of HIV, with around 150 cases, and several educational programmes and regional conferences on gender awareness and HIV/AIDS had been held. Bosnia and Herzegovina played a leading role regionally. Education on contraception was being delivered to young people but there was no data on teenage pregnancy, only estimations provided by religious organizations. A basic health insurance package was available to Roma persons. Questions from ExpertsWhat was being done to encourage female entrepreneurship and what was being done to help single mothers without access to health care? Special agencies were addressing the needs of rural women, did the national plan for women cover rural women and how were they included in relation to the delivery of services and support? Rural women faced particular barriers and data on elderly women had not been included in the report. There were a large number of internally displaced persons but there was no flexibility in the approach to deal with them, what was being done about this and what was being done with regards to training for women with disabilities? Women with disabilities did not obtain the custody of their children? Could Roma women and women with disabilities benefit from special measures? Experts also inquired whether the general recommendation concerning older persons and their rights had been included into national provisions. Response by the DelegationA new programme to offer psychological support for the victims of conflict was in place. The new gender action plan would prioritise the situation of women in the economy, focusing on self-employment for young women and vulnerable women and the provision of low-interest credit would be part of this. Individuals registered as unemployed and vulnerable groups received basic healthcare coverage. The national action plan included rural women and a special plan had been created after a gender-budget analysis revealed that a very small number of rural women received subsidies. The plan sought to improve the economic status, living conditions, access to public services, and to increase the awareness of the public regarding the contribution made by rural women. A trade fair for rural women was held annually and the mobility of rural women had also been considered in proposals for improvement. There were not many groups working with older persons and geriatric healthcare needed to be developed. Persons seeking custody of children were subject to psychological assessments and had to meet certain criteria, but this did not mean that persons with disabilities were automatically disqualified. Questions from ExpertsHad there been any progress towards the recognition of same-sex partnerships? Was it possible for partners to a de facto union to protect their property after separation? Experts asked the Delegation to comment on the fact that single women could not adopt children?Experts also inquired about steps taken to tackle child marriage among Roma and how was data collected in this regard? What efforts had been made to support female victims of conflict?Response by the DelegationSame-sex persons could not marry and this was not under discussion. De facto relationships were not considered under family law, though a civil contract could be made and recognised. However, persons who had lived together for one year had their rights recognised in the same way as a married couple. It was possible for single persons to adopt children, although the process was longer than for a couple. Civilian victims of war were given access to social and health services, and some could also receive financial benefits. The United Nations Children's Fund had gathered data from a survey of 1,700 Roma families, which showed that half of all women in the community had married under the age of 18. It was hoped that increasing access to education for girls would eliminate this practice. Guidelines on the implementation of the Istanbul Convention had also been disseminated. Concluding RemarksISMAT JAHAN, Vice-Chairperson of the Committee, thanked the delegation for the responses provided and the constructive dialogue that had ensued. The Committee called on the Bosnia and Herzegovina to take all necessary measures to implement the recommendations that would be communicated following this examination. SAMRA FILIPOVIC-HADZIABDIC, Director of the Agency for Gender Equality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hoped that the concluding remarks and observations would help with future work and that gender mainstreaming would be recognised in the European integration processes. Ms. Filipovic-Hadziabdic also hoped that the Committee would do more to push the European Commission to increase the importance of women's rights in membership negotiations. __________

Doesn't actually support Vorbis in the form that most users will be acquiring files in that format. It supports Vorbis files in the Matroska container, not the Ogg container. This means I'd need to convert 20+ GB of music to the Matroska container. If I was going to do that I may as well convert to Apple Lossless or something else. Not useful for me, I'm afraid.
Just need WMV and subtitles in FrontRow, actualy is broken the video is black in FrontRow with SRT
Install it and forget it. Essential! Genius! Used to rely on VLC for .flv playback but not anymore. Love this.
if you watch many videos, this is a must-have!
@oldsystem : No, Perian will not interfere with Flip4Mac's WMV Player
I don't see .wmv support on the list. So this won't interfere with Flip4Mac then, right?
Video showing how to download a Flash Video file from YouTube, using only Safari and its activity window, then watch the flv file with quicktime:
I just banned VLC, not because VLC is bad, but beacause I only want to have one media-player :-).

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Nature's Herbs for Pets Respiratory Relief:
This is the only product that worked on my cat who has asthma. Vet suggested to put her on steroids and my neighbor put her cat with asthma on steroids. Her cat passed away long time ago, mine is still with me. Even though my cat lost half of her teeth due to asthma, these pills keep her alive yet. Highly suggest this herbs.

didn't help my cat
By Panda's mom
from Bismarck, ND
My rescue cat has chronic post nasel drip with causes snorting, snoring, and, at times, difficulty breathing. Vet has no suggestions other than vicks under his chin and a vaporizer, which gives some relief. This produce is very hard and I have difficulty crushing it enough so it can be mixed with his wet food. I've used nearly the entire package, one pill twice a day, with no results.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great product
By Trisha
from Mo
Many people do not realize they may have a mold problem in their home making their pets and people ill. We found out the hard way after moving into our new home. After much research and one of my beloved cats died, we finally found it . I have used herbal biotics and this product (made by the same company) with much success. Also added renal essentials because mold affects their kidneys. Pet alive respo K is very helpful too. They have had sinus and chronic lung congestion, lethargic, kidney problems. Experts believe that at least 45 percent of homes have this problem and they are not aware. Toxic black mold is the worst! My natural doctor said if I do not clear up the sinuses, where it will grow and become chronic my pets and i will not get better. I hope this helps those who have taken pets to the vet and they did not know what was wrong. It could be mold.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Didn't work for one cat
By kittylady
from Mesquite, NV
I was hoping this product would help my cat who was recently diagnosed with asthma. Alas, it did not stop him coughing. In fact, the coughing became more frequent and sounded "wetter." I did give it to the other cat who coughed occasionally, and I have not heard her cough since. However, I think that might be due to the air purifier we bought and not the remedy. I wonder if it might work better before a cat has a problem - as a preventative. I hope it works for some cats, even if Murphy didn't benefit.
Merchant response: You could consider the initial cats change in cough was breaking it up and perhaps the "worse before better" scenario that can sometimes occur...just something to monitor.
I will buy this always!

I have gone to the vet time after time. The pills he gave worked so bad, we were thinking about putting our old dog down, she couldn"t breath! This works so well she barely coughs or wheezes.

Highly Recommend
By KittyKatPurrrs
from Stuttgart, Germany
This product is one I will always keep on hand for my 10-year-old cat, who was recently diagnosed with asthma. He was having horrible coughing fits, extreme sinus congestion, sometimes a runny nose and sneezing, low energy. I had been using a cold mist humidifier for his congestion, along with another product, but it was this particular formula that gave him the most complete relief, especially his cough. The pills are small & round, so pretty easy to administer; for me, easier than a tincture.

Chronic sinusitus plagues our younger cat. Have administered multiple antibiotics and other meds but prefer a "natural" approach. After 2 or 3 day...her runny nose cleared up and she was back to her usual playful self. Have decreasted to once a day and will see if that carries her through the rough times. Hopefully we can eliminate costly prescription meds. Great product!
Absolutely wonderful,would definetly buy
By Yorkie Lover of 3
from Statesville, NC
I found it easier to give if I wrap it in turkey or ham cold meat. It definetly makes a huge difference in my older Yorkie's coughing. He doesn't sound like an old hacking man when he gets up in the morning. Would highly reccomend for any dog with a coughing problem.
Really helps my Yorkie with ASTHMA
By LisaLisa
from Tracy, CA
After trying many things and spending a lot of money seeing the vets, this is by far the most effective relief for my Yorkshire Terrier and her asthma. It helps her breath better and stops the horrible cough she gets when having a bad spell.I would highly recommend this to anyone with pets that suffer from allergies and asthma. Anything with the respitory system.

I have a dog that has a intermitent cough. He has been x-rayed, ultra sounded, blood work, poked and proded. The only thing I knew for sure is his cough was causing lung damage. I tried so many products, just trying to keep him from coughing and doing further damage. This is the only one that has worked. I use it on a "as need basis". I recently used it twice, one time a day for 2 days and now no cough, so I'll wait and if he coughs I'll give it too him again. I've been using the product for about 2 years now. I'm very happy with the product! Sue

PORTLAND, Ore. — Timber and environmental groups are debating a logging proposal on the western border of Crater Lake National Park.
The public comment period ends Thursday on an environmental assessment, and the Forest Service could approve logging or conduct a more exhaustive environmental impact statement.
The Oregonian reports) environmentalists have gathered 10,000 comments in opposition to the Bybee timber sale.
George Sexton of the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center says the operation would run logging roads into an area functioning as wilderness in one of Oregon's highest-value recreation areas.
Dave Schott of the Southern Oregon Timber Industries Association says annual growth in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is outpacing the annual cut by at least 10 times. He says the logging would follow the Northwest Forest Plan.

Pixies Give Director Free Rein in 'Silver Snail' (Video Premiere)
After years of filling their set lists with vintage material on tour, the Pixies last year began releasing original songs for the first time since the alt-rock group's 1991 album "Trompe le Monde." What started as a string of four-song EPs resulted last month in a full-length album, "Indie Cindy," a 12-track collection that includes "Silver Snail." The Pixies premiere a video for the tune today on Speakeasy.
It's a brooding mid-tempo song with drifts of guitar swirling around singer Black Francis as he intones disconcerting lyrics about loaded guns and light-bulb suns. The video is a decidedly non-literal interpretation of the song. Directed by Mount Emult, the clip shows an underdressed young man dragging a burden across a snowy field by a length of thick rope, when he's set upon by masked marauders, captured and carried off. At the end, there's a suggestion that the whole sequence is about to repeat.
"We've always liked the idea of working with young, up-and-coming, independent filmmakers, as we think that their energy and vision would probably best complement what we've tried to do with our music," Black Francis tells Speakeasy by e-mail. "Consequently, we've really had very little creative input in this new 'Silver Snail' video or any of the others that have been made for the 'Indie Cindy' project. I think the only direction we've given any of those who have made a music video for us this time was just to be as creative and innovative as they want—no barriers. And looking back at the series of videos we have for this project, they've all done just that."
"Indie Cindy," the fifth album from the influential band, came out in April on the group's own Pixiesmusic label. What do you think of the video for "Silver Snail?" Leave your thoughts in the comments.

An outstanding, 12-minute Possum opener gets the show off to a rollicking start. Weigh gets dusted off for the first time in 89 shows, with Page's piano the star of this version.
Stash gives us the first taste of the developing Summer '95 "Space Camp" sound. It goes pretty far out there, but only briefly abandons the theme completely before returning.
Other first set highlights include excellent versions of If I Could and the Slave closer.
To put the second set in perspective, it features six songs in a row that are brand new to Phish audiences, broken up only by a pretty structured Maze. That's a lot to digest for a Wednesday night crowd in Boise.
Spocks Brain is a really weird composition, but the second performance of Theme finds the song already gaining momentum. Around the 8 minute mark the jam gets sinister, with feedback-drenched space and atmospheric keyboards. About 2 minutes of classic '95 weirdness here.
The second performance of Lonesome Cowboy Bill is preceded by a funny intro from Fish, who tells the audience its an obscure song. Hinting at a Halloween to come, he mentions The Velvet Undergrounds Loaded. You should go out and get it, he urges.
A solid night of new material introductions, and the Stash and Theme have tasty snippets of Summer '95-style jamming.

Just say the words "Little Women" and most people's minds will immediately jump to the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. This is just what director Christopher Alleman and technical director Scott Porter hoped to use to draw in audiences to experience the latest play put on by the Summit High School performing arts department.
"It's a classic, a story that has been read by everyone," said Alleman, who is also the artistic director of the Lake Dillon Theatre. "It was the story that first attracted us. It's a fun story to tell."
For those unfamiliar, "Little Women" features the story of the March family, particularly the four sisters ,Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy , as they grow from children into young women during the late 1800s.
"They've been wonderful," Alleman said of the cast, which consists of 10 main members and 17 actors in total. "They've worked hard."
Rehearsal started in January and continued all the way up to opening day. Time is always a challenge, Alleman said, particularly with the winter break interrupting rehearsals and all of the actors being heavily involved in school and school sports and activities.
"Our biggest challenge is time," he said. "A lot of these actors have great motivation and lots of ambition and lots of raw talent."
While the high school auditorium can hold up to 750 people, Alleman and Porter decided to bring the audience in closer, with seating right up on the stage, only a few feet from the actors. Each showing has 100 seats available.
"We like to put it on the stage and create more of an intimacy, with a black box style of theater," Porter said.
Even in rehearsal, the enthusiasm of the actors is catching as they work to get their blocking just right and nail down any remaining tricky lines.
"It's fun to play something that you aren't usually in real life, that's my favorite part," said senior Jane Anderson, who plays Amy March, the youngest sister. She said she's read the book and is basing her character off her own sister.
"I based her off of my little sister, because my little sister is kind of sassy like that," Anderson said.
Junior Danny Daigle, who plays Laurie, one of the only men in the play, said he's looking to Victorian era books for character motivation.
"I've always said if I could live in any other time period, I want it to be the late 1800s, around when this story's taking place," he said. Of his character, "he's definitely a free spirit and I feel like I am pretty similar in that way so it's not too much work; it's really just a change of clothes."
Heather Gutekunst, also a junior, has two parts as Aunt March and Meg's understudy and has enjoyed the challenge.
"I really enjoyed learning two parts, because it really immerses me in the play," Gutekunst said.
When asked what the audience can expect from the play, she said, "I think that they can expect a really wide range of emotions and that it will make you laugh and cry. It will make you feel happy and sad, and I think that's what the author intended originally, to have you feel all this and put yourself in these roles."
She finished her explanation in a rush and a few seconds later was on stage at rehearsal, embodying the character of Aunt March, delivering dialogue with a haughty shrug and pointed glare.
The play runs until Sunday, with showings tonight, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., with two matinee performances on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are available through Summit High School in advance or at the door and cost $5 for students and $10 for adults.

Comments about Tropical Fish Wood Magnet Craft Kit :
I would recoomend the use of acrylic paint when completing this project. The permanent marker tends to bleed into the wood grain. Also make sure you use a permanent glue like fabric tack. Otherwise the magnets will not stay on the back.

Boone Co. passes resolution opposing gun restrictions
A northern Kentucky county has taken a stand against proposed federal restrictions on gun rights.
The Boone County Fiscal Court approved a resolution against the enforcement of any federal mandates that may restrict gun ownership.
Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore told The Kentucky Enquirer that officials had a duty to show support for the Second Amendment and to Boone County Sheriff Mike Helmig, who has said he won't enforce any mandates.
The resolution includes a statement that reaffirms the rights of municipalities:
"Neither the federal government nor any individual in the federal government has the right to dictate to any of the various states, counties or municipalities in the United States, any mandate, regulation or administrative rule that violates the Constitution of the United States or its various amendments."
In passing the resolution 4-0 on Tuesday night, county officials join several other communities that have taken similar stances.
John Bickers, a Northern Kentucky University Constitutional law professor, said Helmig isn't required to enforce such mandates.
"It's a straightforward principle of constitutional law that the federal government can't dictate to state and local law enforcement what to do," Bickers said. "If Congress were to outlaw magazines with the capacity of 20 rounds, it's up to the federal government to enforce it unless the state wants to."

Sean Avery's public service commercial in support of gay marriage stirred a new kind of debate in hockey circles.
Sean Avery has carved out a place as an NHL legend in large part for his unnatural ability to lure on-ice opponents into flying off the handle and committing acts they almost immediately regret.

Goalies have been an issue in Philadelphia for far too long. If management has any sense, it'll fix the problem once and for all.
It's all so very tired, this unending goaltending saga in Philadelphia. For yet another season, all of the Flyers' good deeds on the ice are being undermined by an ownership and management group that sees goaltending as Posh Spice sees minimum standards of nutrition: unnecessary, overrated and something only ordinary folk worry themselves sick over.

This year's Washington Capitals are a different breed. Instead of folding at the first sign of adversity, this team is battling through.
The jinx-o-phobe in me is always wary about writing an "I believe in this team" type of column. I know there will be fans who read such a piece and want to throw their computer or smartphone against the wall, while cursing me to high heaven for not just shutting the hell up and keeping my positivity on the inside.

The ballot is in and Adam tells you exactly who he voted for on each major award and why he voted that way.
Being able to vote on the NHL Awards is a privilege I don't take lightly. Along with the other members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association who cast a ballot, I carefully consider a number of factors before emailing in my choices and can justify all of them.

Adam looks back at his personal prognostications from the start of the season to see how they all turned out.
It's that time of year. Yes, playoff season, but also time to look back at NHL pre-season predictions and see how well you did. Let's skip the niceties and get right to it.

In the second part of this two-part article, we present the final four points on how the NHL can tackle its concussion problem.
In the March 21 issue of THN magazine, Adam Proteau canvassed people inside and out of the NHL to outline ideas on how to solve the concussion problems plaguing hockey.

We present seven points on how the league could tackle its most important issue. Points 1-3 appear Thursday and 4-7 will appear Saturday.
There are few NHLers tougher than Ian Laperriere. In fact, The Hockey News named the Flyers right winger the league's toughest player last season.

Whether it's getting away from defense-first hockey or not punishing players who don't finish their checks, coaches at the highest level have to adjust to the times.
As everyone scrambles to assign blame for the issues that hamstring hockey from being as good as it can be, there's one group that doesn't take a fair share of the heat: the men in the cheap suits behind the benches.

How has the salary cap helped keep coaches employed through this NHL season?
They say that, in the world of highly paid professional athletes, it's much easier to fire an underachieving team's coach than it is to fire the players.

If the NHL decided to move back to Winnipeg it would create a great buzz for fans, but it wouldn't all be rosy.
As the rumblings of an NHL return to Winnipeg grow louder, the excitement building in that city is almost palpable. That's fantastic, if not for the poor people of Atlanta or Phoenix, who may have no choice but to sit back helplessly and watch their team be plucked from their hometown and their hearts, then certainly for fans in Manitoba who went through the same misery back in 1996 when the Jets left for Arizona.

To spice up the playoff races and yearly schedules, the NHL should create a more balanced atmosphere.
Seventeen years ago, in an effort to continue modernizing its operation, the NHL decided to discontinue naming its divisions and conferences after famous figures from hockey history.

The Tomas Kaberle for Joe Colborne and a first round pick trade is exactly what both the Bruins and Maple Leafs were searching for.
Finally, two things happened this week that people have been speculating about for the past seven years or so: The Rock returned to a pro wrestling ring for the first time since 2004; and in Toronto, the omnipresent trade rumors surrounding defenseman Tomas Kaberle mercifully came to a conclusion when the Maple Leafs sent their longest-serving player to the Boston Bruins.

I discovered my passion for journalism when I was in high school and still remember sitting in my broadcast journalism class anxious to get my first story assignment. A lot has changed since then, but my love for news isn't one of them. Now I will be the Pueblo bureau reporter for NEWSCHANNEL 13 during the week and anchoring NOTIALERTAS Telemundo on the weekends.
I was raised in Houston, Texas and have spent my entire life in the south until now. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. While at Sam Houston I helped establish a Spanish newscast for Hispanic viewers in the Huntsville area. I spent countless hours in the KSHU newsroom producing, reporting and anchoring in Spanish. I was also fortunate enough to spend a summer in Panama City, Panama, where my mother is from, working for TVN Noticias.
Before coming to Colorado I was a reporter for WDHN in Dothan, Alabama. While at Dothan, I reported on the deadliest shooting rampage in Alabama history. One of the first reporters on scene, with no time to waste and a looming deadline, I had to gather information, get video, and conduct interviews. I, a one-man band reporter, managed to do it all. By night's end, my video and interviews aired on Nightline and Anderson Cooper 360. By week's end, my footage aired on many national news outlets including Good Morning America and The 700 Club.
While I consider myself a southern gal, I'm looking forward to the living in a place surrounded by beautiful mountains and a weather forecast that doesn't include humidity!

Eating your vegetables is supposed to make you healthy, not sick...but the entire country is still under an FDA warning against eating fresh spinach.
Bagged spinach is blamed for a nationwide E. coli outbreak that has sickened people in 21 states.
The contaminated spinach has now been linked to a second death: a 23-month-old baby girl in Ohio.
"I heard about it today at work," said Augusta resident Katie Stevens. "A girl said, 'Did you hear about the spinach recall?' And I didn't know she was serious."
But she was. The FDA nationwide warning against eating fresh spinach is still in effect...and for local restaurants, the recall is no laughing matter.
"Serving food is our livelihood, and one case of someone being sick is enough for the health department to shut you down," said Steven Green, assistant manager of the Boll Weevil.
So out went boxes and boxes of spring mix salad that contained fresh spinach.
"Thankfully that is kept by itself, so there was no worry of cross contamination," Green said.
Customers were also warned about the E. coli threat.
"I came over here the other day to Boll Weevil and saw the sign saying we couldn't eat fresh spinach," said Dr. Matthew Lawson of Augusta.
For now, no salads with spring mix lettuce and no spinach salads are available. Frozen spinach is okay according to the FDA, but Barb Nicholas isn't taking any chances.
"There was an entree I was going to order, but it had spinach in it, so I decided not to," she told News 12.
And Pixie Frank agrees.
"We hear about these kinds of warning all the time and become complacent," she said. "But when someone's death is involved, I listen to the warning...and this one scared me. I am not going to eat any spinach for a long time. No. No way."
The Boll Weevil expects to get a fresh shipment of spinach tomorrow cleared by the FDA.
News 12 also spoke to another local restaurant that got a new order of fresh spinach tonight, and it is already back on the menu.
Georgia and South Carolina are still not among the 21 states on the list of E. coli outbreaks, but the list continues to grow daily.
Investigators have ruled out tampering in the E. coli outbreak.

Virginia Gives Up on "Egg-as-Person" Bill, For Now
With three days left to bring the bill up, the senate appears content to let it die.
Sorry, fertilized eggs, looks like you may be out of luck in Virginia, where a plan to grant full legal rights may be shelved for now.
Via NBC4:
The Washington Examiner reports that Virginia Republicans are expected to let the "personhood" bill die this week. The bill would grant a fetus the same right as a person, a definition pushed by pro-life advocates. The measure was one of many controversial social issues pushed by Republicans in the Virginia legislature in 2012. (These Republicans were also responsible for the now infamous transvaginal ultrasound bill.
The Senate was expected to pass the bill last session, but ultimately voted to push consideration of the legislation to this year's session.
Appreciate our work?
Vote now! And help Rewire earn a bigger grant from CREDO:
Now the chairman of the Senate Education and Health Committee isn't likely to call committee members back to vote on the measure before a Nov. 29 deadline to bring it to the full Senate, effectively killing the bill.
Reporter Perry Stein muses that the disappearance of the bill might signal that the state legislature may be moving away from divisive social issues. Apparently they forgot to tell Bob Marshall, who is proposing that abortion be banned in the case of gender selection—a problem no one has ever provided evidence is an issue in the state, and which many believe is a backdoor attempt to limit a woman's right to choose.

Center For Balance Disorders
Restoring Balance and Quality to your life!!!
Dizziness, falls, fall-related injuries and the fear of falling can significantly diminish the length and quality of human life; moreover, they can decrease a person's physical activity, social activity and the ability to live independently. Falls are the leading cause of injury in younger and older adults, and the leading cause of death in those over 85 years old. Falls and the fear of falling can even cause a person to be institutionalized.
There is Good News: Falls can be prevented!
Contrary to popular beliefs, loss of balance and mobility are not inevitable as we grow older. Eighty percent of patients that have dizziness and balance disorders can be helped, even cured. Whatever the cause of dizziness and imbalance, it is not something you or your loved ones have to live with.
Located in the Rehabilitation Services Department in the Tyler Center at Regional Medical Center, the Tyler Center for Balance Disorders offers a unique, comprehensive service to diagnose and treat dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium, and walking disorders.
Utilizing brand new, state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment technology, RMC has a team of Licensed Physical Therapists specifically trained and certified to deal with dizziness and balance disorders that look beyond traditional clinical approaches to detect and actively treat these disorders.
The RMC Tyler Center for Balance Disorders uses the same breakthrough technology as NASA; technology originally created to diagnose and treat the cause of dizziness and loss of balance in astronauts upon their return from shuttle missions.
There are only a TWO (2) treatment facilities in the State of Alabama that have access to such sophisticated technology. And, RMC is proud to be one of them!

SANTA CLARA -- Since a power shift in November, the Santa Clara Unified School Board has been accused of micromanaging, chiding and intimidating employees, usurping their roles and making abrupt decisions that muddled school operations.
Now, as the school year ends Friday, more than one-fifth of top staff, including Superintendent Bobbie Plough, two assistant superintendents and six principals, have decided to step down from their posts, many fleeing the once-respected district.
Critics blame the exodus on the board's involvement in day-to-day operations, including directly hiring staff and allegedly harassing parents and employees. Generally, California school trustees are supposed to set policy and direct the superintendent. But "when they try to do the job of administrators, it makes it impossible for us to do our job," said Mary Kay Going, an assistant superintendent who says she is reluctantly leaving the district after 26 years.
The controversy has spawned a Facebook page and a Change.org petition, with more than 1,500 signatures supporting a no-confidence vote for board members Christine Koltermann, Chris Stampolis, Ina Bendis and Michele Ryan. Stampolis and Ryan were elected in November.
Trustees deny they're overstepping. "We have a board who wants to ask more questions," board President Koltermann said. In a culture some might call insular, "it's a change and adjustment." And, she said, the critics themselves scare away those who disagree with them.
Parent Bruce La Fetra is not alarmed: "I'd expect a lot of staff turnover following a 'throw the bums out' election like we had."
But former board candidate Anna Strauss disagreed. "The school district is just disintegrating before our very eyes."
Santa Clara had been a stable district, a place people joined out of college and stayed their entire careers. Its 23 schools perform better than average, when compared with districts with similar demographics: Santa Clara students are 36 percent Latino, 24 percent Asian, 22 percent white, 8 percent Filipino and 10 percent others.
But the district faces challenges on both ends of the academic spectrum. Its Latino students are among the lowest-performing in the county, said Stampolis, who is optimistic about the district's new superintendent, Stanley Rose III. "We need staff that want to embrace data analysis in a public way," he said.
On the other hand, for years parents have pressed the district to open another school like its Millikin Elementary, the state's highest-scoring school.
Bendis and her allies embrace that urgency.
That hurry, sometimes heedless of the planning and potential consequences, frustrates teachers and administrators. So has the board's apparent penchant to overhaul practices itself, rather than ask its staff to resolve issues.
In December, Bendis proposed progressively adding three middle-school grades to Bracher Elementary at parents' requests.
It wasn't the merits of the proposal that angered critics, but the rush, with just one month's notice -- and the appearance that Stampolis, father of a Bracher fifth-grader, would gain by an immediate change.
Last month, a teacher complained Wilcox High didn't offer enough computer science and robotics. Instead of asking school administrators to resolve the complaint, the board publicly labored over the construction of the school's master schedule. Critics say it wasn't a coincidence that the unhappy teacher, Karen Hardy, is a friend of majority trustees, and the campaign treasurer for two of them.
Most recently, Ryan publicly took to task Santa Clara High junior Sami Elamad, who in speaking about his popular principal resigning, referred to the board room as a "gas chamber." Ryan sent the student's comments to the Anti-Defamation League -- because she took the term as derogatory to Bendis, who is Jewish -- wrote about them on her Facebook page, and placed the league's response on the next board agenda.
Meanwhile, administrators quietly discussed ways to use the speech in ways to improve classroom discussions on prejudice, discrimination and bigotry. Why, critics wondered, would a trustee circumvent the staff and instead embarrass a student and create additional drama?
Beneath the uproar, the sides don't necessarily disagree about goals or ideas. Most board members aren't malicious, teacher Barbara Bicknell said. However, "they appear to be looking at data but subtracting out the humanness of the children."
In discussing how best to educate kids, "There's a way to have that dialogue and both be on the same side of the table," Going said. "I don't want to be 'us against them.' I want to be us for us. We should all be focused on the students."
But board-staff trust is in short supply.
The upheaval has made it difficult to hire a top business official, a job vacant for half a year.
And at Bracher School, many teachers have been "working to rule" -- not performing tasks like after-school tutoring outside of their contract -- in part to protest Stampolis' role heading the school site council, which among other things recommends how campus funds are spent.
Bendis said she goes into detail in questioning, partly because she doesn't always get a clear answer. She sometimes sounds as if she's interrogating administrators. In a curriculum discussion in January, she appeared to accuse Going of lying.
Bendis, who has medical and law degrees and a Ph.D. in molecular biology, visits classrooms "to get a sense of pedagogical styles used."
While she said she doesn't go where she's not welcome, former Santa Clara Superintendent Rod Adams said he had to rein in Bendis after she was elected in 2006 and would visit schools and district offices unannounced and demand extensive reports.
"It became a nightmare," said Adams, who retired in 2008. "She became such a nuisance I had to tell her not to talk to staff." Later the board passed policies to limit its members from commanding staff and require appointments for school visits.
But fear of trustees persists. Anne McDermott, Briarwood School principal who is retiring early, said, "You never know when they're going to show up on your site and insert themselves into the running of the school."

Location: Vegetable Crops Research Unit
Project Number: 5090-21220-002-06
Start Date: Jul 19, 2010
End Date: Jul 31, 2014
A multi-disciplinary approach will be undertaken to study P. infestans, apply emerging genetic approaches, breed resistant germplasm, conduct field studies, and provide recommendations to the growers. An understanding of molecular interactions between host R gene products and pathogen effectors has provided valuable data that will allow us to identify or engineer novel R-genes that can be used in breeding programs. Characterization of the overwintering ability of novel P. infestans genotypes as mycelia on currently grown potato varieties and as oospores in field soil will provide needed biological information to production scientists for estimating epidemic risk for improved control recommendations. Cooperator will be responsible for studies on the overwintering capabilities of various P. infestans strains on potato tubers as well as assisting in field screening of germplasm.

I am beating my brains out over a periodic disconnect problem that happens with regularity but not all the time. It happens with both MKV and MP4 files. I don't think it's a file format issue because it will occur with a file and then later the same file will play without issue. I don't think it's my router because I bought a new one and the issue still persists. I know wireless is not considered ideal but I've gone to a pretty high end router to try to alleviate the problem.
My router firmware is up to date as is all my drivers. I am reasonably certain that I am not transcoding because the buffer on the status tab shows no activity.
The error message I get is either, "This file is invalid" or "the device has become disconnected" and usually occurs after a few minutes play. Sometimes PMS no longer shows as a connected device on the TV but the status window on PMS indicates otherwise.
Computer Specs - Intel I7 950 3 ghz quad core, 6 GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Router - Connected wirelessly to Netgear WNDR4500 (N900). There is no other traffic on this router.
PMS version - 1.72.0 build 2012-11-18
Streaming to LG Smart TV model number 47LM6400
Any tips?
Also - I have a bunch (7) of hs_err_pid####.log files in my PS3 Media Server folder. Let me know if they may be of help.

I love wine. I love local wineries. St. James Winery is located in St. James, Missouri and very close to Rolla. They opened in 1970 and have been growing their establishment ever since. Now they make over 200,000 cases of wine every year! One of our family favorites is Friendship School White. A couple bottles are guaranteed to show up a one of our family gatherings!
Luckily, after working with Jessica from St. James Winery, I was able to schedule a tour of one of their vineyards, production facility and their new Vineyard Cottage which is a venue for private events. It stormed that morning so the sky was dark just until we visited the vineyard. If you look closely you can see the plants were just beginning to flower.
"One not only drinks wine, one smells it, observes it, tastes it, sips it and – one talks about it." – King Edward VII
