These guys are too familiar with each other and there will be even less action in this one than there was in last year's match. Neither will sustain much, leaving there less to choose from....and another close fight with a decision that will annoy fans will take place.

I watched juan closely on the HBO specials and was concentrating heavily on his right hand delievery and had the elbow flying out as the punch landed and was pronating shots with bad intend during his sessions. I thought he looked great, abit slower but had confidence.
I didn't expect a KO by anyone!!! I mentioned that he tried this move in other bouts against Manny but didn't stay in long enough to get results. He was almost late with the shot but that added it seemed to its forcefullness! This was a big win, not so much surprising but a major victory for Juan.
I hope he quits!! Manny too!! It would be very hard for Manny but I think he has alot on his table that I believe takes away from his boxing mentality!! Its NOT an excuse but it is a reality in his case!
This Lampley jerk needs to get out of the business after his unbelieveable comment about Mannys lose and the storm that destroyed lives in the Phillipines commonality. I think poor choices of words just shows mentality but this case shows more than just stupidity. He needs to be removed, it also doesn't help that he knows very little to nothing about a fight and boxing!
Congrates to Juan a true boxer/fighter who has excellant technique and thats what won him the fight. Ray Corso

I had predicted Pacquiao by an unjust Split decision.
Didn't foresee a knockout.
No reason for Floyd to fight Pacquiao now. This will begin Pacquiao's descent into mid-card status. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but I can't see Pacquiao getting back to the very top at this point.
Marquez 3: Manny wins a very tight decision that many people thought was incorrect
Bradley: Manny officially loses, and though it was a robbery, Pacquiao didn't do enough to impress the judges, nor did he take the decision out of their hands.
Now a knockout loss? Bring on the Brandon Rios's of the world.
Strong champion.

Speaking of Mayweather, I heard he wants to fight in a few months, maybe the spring, so I doubt he'd fight Marquez again, it would be too soon. Looks like Mayweather, Pacquiao and Marquez are about to call it a career in a year or two. You guys think Mayweather fill fight another good opponent, or just a decent one or two that he can beat, before he retires?
I don't know much about Danny Garcia, except I've enjoyed some of his knockout wins I've seen. Why the hate? Is he disrespectful or something? I haven't seen any interview footage of him.

But the fighter himself seems grounded and respectful enough. It's a shame. But I guess his dad is just trying to promote him.

Has Clear Channel won Christmas music war?
WMYX-FM (99.1) has yet to switch to an all-Christmas music format, despite having done so for many years in competition with WRIT-FM (95.7). The stations took turns being the first to switch to the format, and when the first one did, the second followed immediately.
The Clear Channel station WRIT-FM did so last week. But while WMYX was streaming Christmas music on its website, it was still playing its regular format on the air Monday afternoon. »Read Full Blog Post(23)

Firer, 64, has published five full-length books, including "Milwaukee Does Strange Things to People," earned two national prizes, works as an adjunct professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and formerly served as the city's poet laureate - a program of the Milwaukee Public Library.

The high cost of putting on the Oscars ceremony
When the Oscars are handed out tonight, they will - presumably - be for artistic and creative merit. And the films that are honored are the result of considerable blood, sweat and tears.

Espicom View: CFR Pharmaceutical's bid to acquire Adcock Ingram would produce a multinational company focused on emerging markets. Whilst many large generic and branded pharmaceutical companies based in the regulated markets have often sought to acquire emerging market businesses or achieve business deals to tap into this area, CFR's acquisition would represent the first time that two significant emerging market-based companies have created an alliance in order to exploit opportunities across emerging markets in several continents. Neither company has expressed an interest through the proposal in expanding into the more traditional markets; although CFR does have a presence in North America and Europe, this is not a focus for the merger. If successful, the merger could thus create a new business model.
On July 2, Chilean firm, CFR Pharmaceuticals, submitted a non-binding offer to South Africa-based Adcock Ingram that could lead to CFR making a cash and shares offer to acquire 100% of Adcock's issued ordinary share capital for a price consideration of ZAR 73.51 for every Adcock Ingram share as well as making comparable offers to Adcock's Black Economic Empowerment partners, as holders of Adcock's A and B shares, and the participants in the company's employee and incentive schemes. CFR explained that the proposal was consistent with its strategy of strengthening its position as a significant emerging market pharmaceutical manufacturer. The company added that it believed that, combined with Adcock Ingram, it could become one of the most diversified and uniquely positioned emerging markets multinationals with exposure to patients across Latin America, South East Asia and India, and capitalising on emerging market opportunities.
Adcock Ingram confirmed that the offer had been made, noting that the company's Independent Board had entered into discussions with CFR. CFR had also indicated that it would seek a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange; as a result, the combined company would benefit from a broader global investor base with listing in both Johannesburg and Santiago, Chile. Adcock added that the offer was not yet firm and would be subject to the fulfilment of a number of pre-conditions, including satisfactory completion of confirmatory due diligence and Adcock and CFR reaching agreement on the terms of the offer. In order to satisfy these pre-conditions, a period of exclusivity has been granted by Adcock. In addition, the share price part of the offer is subject to the fluctuations of the stock exchange.
Adcock explained to its shareholders that since 1990, CFR has successfully expanded beyond Chile into other countries in Latin America and other emerging markets. The company currently employs over 7,000 people, including a sales force of nearly 2,000. CFR claims market leading operations in Chile, Peru and Colombia, as well as a presence in Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The company also has operations in North America and Europe through its Canadian subsidiary, Uman Pharma, and its UK subsidiary, Allergy Therapeutics. A presence in South East Asia has also been established through a manufacturing hub and commercial affiliate in Vietnam. In 2012, CFR generated revenues of US$757 million, which included its recent acquisition of Lafrancol. Lafrancol is a Colombian pharmaceutical company with subsidiaries in Ecuador, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. CFR reported it had acquired a 100% stake in the firm in December 2012.
CFR focuses on the development, manufacture and commercialisation of off-patent and locally unpatented branded specialty pharmaceuticals. The firm has a presence in a number of business segments, including neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, women's health, acute therapeutic areas, monoclonal antibodies and treatments related to transplants, dialysis, oncology and rheumatology. CFR also produces injectables used in anaesthesia, infectious diseases, cardiology and critical care. Adcock noted that in 2011, CFR successfully completed its initial public offering on the Santiago Stock Exchange; the move made the company the first publically traded pan-Latin American pharmaceutical company.
According to Adcock, a merger would create an emerging markets pharmaceuticals company with a presence in more than 23 countries and employing over 10,000 people. The combined company would have revenues of around US$1.3 billion and an asset base of some US$2.1 billion. The merger could produce potential savings for both companies. For CFR, the firm would seek to use excess manufacturing capacity available in the combined group to optimise utilisation and reduce costs. In this regard, the company plans to transfer the manufacture of certain products to South Africa and India. Through the combination, Adcock Ingram would seek to lower its cost of production by increasing volumes and utilisation rates. Both companies would seek to combine their active pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing and procurement. Adcock commented that CFR would seek to add to Adcock's existing product portfolio in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, through its Complex Therapeutics Division, CFR would provide Adcock with access to new therapeutic areas. For its part, CFR would benefit from rolling out Adcock's portfolio in Latin America. In particular, CFR believes that significant opportunities exist in its home markets in the areas of antiretrovirals and OTC medicines. According to Adcock, the OTC market in Latin America is worth some US$12 billion and is growing at a compound annual growth rate of around 12%. This will represent an attractive market for Adcock's OTC portfolio. Adcock can also help CFR grow its presence in diabetes, dermatology and ophthalmology.
Adcock has been the target of other acquisition bids during 2013, but the company appears to be more enthusiastic about this one. In March, Bidvest announced an unsolicited offer to acquire 60% of Adcock's share capital; at the time, Bidvest owned around 2.54% of Adcock's total shares. Bidvest is a South African firm and describes itself as an international services, trading and distribution company that operates on four continents. Had it successfully completed its proposed Adcock share acquisition, this would have marked Bidvest's first foray into the pharmaceuticals sector.
Bidvest's move had been subject to a condition that it received a favourable undertaking from Adcock's Board of Directors by April 2nd. However, Adcock did not respond positively to the offer, citing fundamental legal and material prudential concerns. Bidvest did not renew its offer following the April 2nd deadline.

Dave Warren plays the martyrPermalink +
Thu, Jun 02, 2011, 7:45 pm // John Servais
Update June 3: A reader has provided the 4 minute audio of Dave's comments.
Dave Warren, the defacto leader of local unions regardless of his retired status, insulted the audience last night at the public meeting to hear opinions on the coal port. Jeers did not drown out his remarks during his allotted three minutes - contrary to John Stark's reporting in the Herad. The audience, who had been directly insulted, groaned and then moaned. A normal human reaction. Listen to the tape for yourself at minutes 123 to 127 of the audio posted on the city website. Leading up to his insult, Dave used words like "despicable" and "fracturing." He was not interrupted. He paused for effect. He asked for it. He got it.
Dave gave a lengthly whine about how unfair the audience and Re Sources was. Then he ended with this zinger at the audience: "Let me express my disappointment how quickly members of this community can so easily turn their backs on the unemployed, working families, and union members." Of course, the audience was mostly made up of working folks, with no doubt some unemployed, and even union members - who also expressed concerns about the project. Yes, they groaned. There were no jeers per Stark's skewed reporting.
This happened at the Municipal Court during a meeting called by Mayor Dan Pike to allow citizens to express opinions about the coal port. The room was packed and many people had to stand outside. Gateway Pacific has plans to build one of the largest coal loading ports in the world here in Whatcom County in order to export coal to China. Local residents in Bellingham and the rural county have serious environmental concerns. They expressed them last night.
In his comments, Warren accused Re Sources, and executive director Bob Ferris, of "despicable" behavior and of "fracturing" the relationship between local unions and local environmentalists. Sorry Dave, but I was at your February 17 meeting at the Norway Hall when your packed audience of union members booed, jeered, and interrupted Bob Ferris continually. They behaved like thugs. Anyone not supporting the coal port was treated with aggression and contempt. I learned that when I spoke out, and later told Warren he should control his members. He just smiled. Then later he came over to me and said we should meet. Sorry Dave, meeting with you is a waste of time. For years you have encouraged boorish behavior by your members.
Dave said last night he and the unions wanted a "respectful discussion" of the issues around the coal port. Well, that was not the case at the February meeting. There, Dave exhorted his union members to get behind this project. Period. No talk of discussion. Just rah-rah and damn any opposition. The meeting was an emotional rally for the coal port, and anyone opposed to the project had good reason to be fearful of a physical confrontation.
At that February meeting, Dave Warren was also insulting and showed contempt for anyone not supporting the coal port. He fractured any relationship that existed with enviros. He yelled that the unions "put boots on the ground for the Democrats" and expected their support, to the cheers and yelling of his union members. No discussion of issues. No expressions of "reasoned discussion" like he was pleading for last night for the benefit of the press.
Also at the February meeting, our mayor, Dan Pike, jumped up to announce that he "supports" the coal port project. He went on about what a good project this was. Dan said not a word about coal trains through Bellingham. Dan probably didn't really even know what he was supporting. He had a room full of union members and he wanted their votes. It was only days or weeks later that he got on to the issue of coal trains through Bellingham. Dan is now quiet about his early full support for the coal port.
Last night, Dave Warren was treated more politely than he and his union mob treated Bob Ferris at the February meeting. More politely than they treated anyone who questioned the coal port at the February meeting. Of course, there was no Herald reporter at the February meeting - and so Dave was not playing to the press.
Listen to the audio from last night for yourself. Unfortunately, the city is still using old technology and we cannot download the audio and then listen to portions on our computers. You have to listen for two hours to get to Dave Warren's rant. He wanted to insult the audience and get them to react. They did react and John Stark of the Herald gave Dave cover. Sad and deceptive reporting.

Riley Sweeney // Fri, Jun 03, 2011, 10:08 am
Mark Lowry, the actual, not former president of the Northwest Labor Council had this to say in response:
"David Warren is my friend, and I know where his heart is at, but he doesn?t speak for Labor in Whatcom County, I do. I am meeting with representatives of the Sierra Club in my office on Tuesday in order to shore-up the strained Labor/Environmentalists alliance. We need to agree to disagree without vilifying each other. ?It?s over? is probably accurate in terms of Labors? relationship with Re-Sources, but not our commitment to those that advocate for the environment. It is simply too important. The radical right would love for us to declare war on each other, and that will not happen on my watch."

I have been pondering the "devide and conquer" aspects of giant monied interests i.e. Peabody coal, BNSF railroad and what they can do vis-a-vis progressives of both the environmental and labor movements. When progressive people should be uniting against the corporatocracy and differing priorities (each of which are legitimate in their own right) are used against us. This is a tough one.
It seems to me that organized labor (a good and necessary thing) and the commited environmental justice movement (also a good and necessary thing) have a common enemy that ought to be easily recognized. And that would be the forces that exploit both entities for one thing. Profits at the expence of democracy and the environment.
The War Has Just BegunSlum landlords are alive and thriving. Over this summer 50% [corrected] of rental units failed the city's initial health and safety inspection.

Historical Traveler Reviews Grange Langham Court London
Clean, centrally located
langham court, walking distance to oxford street, and bristish museum.
nice and clean, friendly staff, small reception, lounge/bar next to rec.
breakfast-room and winebar in basement. nice rooms but SMALL.
Home from Home
We stayed a whole week at the Langham Court and found it to be excellent value. It is small and homely. the staff are superb in their desire to please. Bedrooms are small but not pokey. Bathrooms and showers are well appointed and kept spotless. Superb location for shopping and sightseeing, but poor for car parking. The hotel does not offer big hotel facilities but is a real home from home as far we are concerned. A definite return venue.
Just back from a short trip to London and stayed at the Grange, Langham Court. We chose this hotel for it's location and it was in an excellent location. The hotel was a little disappointing though. The rooms were very small, we had a double and a single bed in our room (there are no triple rooms at this hotel). Myself and my daughter shared a double bed. I would say the bed was only 4 foot wide. It was very small. The bathroom was also small, and the bath was not full size. However everything was clean and the breakfast was nice. We spent as little time as possible in the room as there was not enough room to swing a cat. The staff were ok, not over friendly, but efficient.
Oh that uncomfortable bed!
Room large by London standards......but the bed was so uncomfortable.
Very shabby. Dark area to walk at night. Breakfast good. Few of the staff spoke English. Would not stay there again.
Excellent value, clean and comfortable, great breakfast
My husband and me stayed here the week before Christmas, and were delighted with our stay. The hotel was in a quiet location, yet close to Central London and all the shops. The room was fairly small (for central London) but were were given a triple room for the price of a double, which was nice. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and nicely furnished. The staff were helpful, and the breakfast was superb - lots of choice and well cooked. Excellent value for money, and we're going back next week!
What happened to this hotel?
I chose the Langham Court Hotel because of the wonderful stay I had there years ago. During my visit in Dec. 2003, things were considerably different. I started to lack confidence in the staff once they couldn't even give me correct information about the immediate neighborhood.
Little English was spoken so every interaction was unsmooth. When the elevator broke down, there was never assistance with luggage. I had to request help with a cab, but the bell staff had much difficulty and took nearly 30 min. to find one. Because they didn't speak English, I started to have doubts that they were actually working on getting a cab. And I was the only one waiting for one! The only good thing was the full breakfast buffet included in the rate. Overall, I am disappointed in how this once delightful hotel has downgraded their customer service.
Nice hotel, but not to be trusted with your credit card
Hotel is nice enough and good for the price range and location. Very nice breakfast. However, after paying for room service using my credit card, I later discovered on receiving my credit card bill that I had also been charged 30 pounds for telephone calls I didn't make. I complained and they refused to give me my money back.
I was actually going to go back a few weeks later for a weekend but after that experience I tried to cancel the room. After the first experience, I checked back to make sure the room had actually been cancelled, since I had booked online with credit card. I had to make in total 3 phone calls and write an email before somebody cancelled the room.
I was very pleased
I spent 7 nights in June 2003 in the Langham Court. I found the room very comfortable but quite small compared to American standards. The cleanliness I felt was above average to excellent.Also, I never heard noise from inside the hotel from other rooms, hallways, etc. I did have my window open so did hear street noise, pub across the street, but it quiets down at a reasonable hour. The location is really excellent for shopping, dining, sightseeing, etc. Plenty of restaurants within blocks and a little market right on the corner. The full English breakfast was great. I don't normally like hotels that include breakfast because I figure if it's awful you're stuck paying for it every morning. Not so at the Langham Court. I would have ate there even if breakfast was not included.The staff, other than in reception, was very very nice, helpful, and polite. I did not find the receptionists all that friendly for some reason. But they did provide me with a fan for my room promptly when I asked (no air conditioning) I look forward to staying there again sometime soon.
No air conditioning or water coolers
I have just spent two very uncomfortable nights at the Grange Langham Hotel,i realise that the temperatures were higher than normal,however one would expect a 4* hotel to have a least water coolers on each floor,as air conditioning is non excistant,this coupled with the small rooms meant that a comfortable nights sleep was out of the question.It is a fairly nice hotel,and very convenient for seeing the"sights",tube trains,restaurants etc,however a reactive response to the weather conditions would have been welcome,and should certainly be considered for the future,before they lose customers due to them
Home away from home on the Grange
Wonderful Victorian facade. Reasonably quiet (for central London) street, bordering Marylebone and Bloomsbury. Regent Street nearby: shop your heart out, dear. For chamber music enthusiasts, it's a short trip to Wigmore Hall, if you can avoid being run over on the heavily traveled northern extension of Regent Street. The Wallace Collection is also nearby, and art aficionados will do well to fall by there for a few hours. Rooms are average size for England (that means dollhouse size if you're used to American hotels), and well appointed. My one visit to the hotel restaurant downstairs was pleasing.Since Grange took the place over the bottom-liners have made their influence felt: no more free newsapers placed outside your door each morning, staff from rent-a-smile who are fluent in half a dozen languages, none of them English.Out of curiosity I just checked the tariff -- well north of $200 a night. Blimey O'Riley! You won't be unhappy at this place but it's not good value for money, even by London standards.

Attendees included an impressive line-up of global experts from organisations such as Richemont, Airbus, Nokia Siemens Networks, Towards Maturity, Vodafone, Bel, African Development Bank and many more.
In parallel to the conference, Speexx also audits participants before, during and after the event as part of the Speexx Exchange Business Mobility Survey. This survey captures the challenges and attitudes of global organisations towards current learning & development trends. A full report will be released in January 2013 ahead of Learning Technologies, but early findings, based on the 210 organisations that have completed the survey so far, include the following:
- One in three organisations already feel that they are being influenced by cloud-based learning
- 49 percent of organisations use e-learning to improve business communication skills
- 64 percent consider communication skills to be crucial to business success.
"We are delighted to have created yet another successful global series of e-learning events with unique insights and a diverse blend of organisations from around the world", commented Armin Hopp, Founder and President at Speexx. "The learning management solution industry has undergone a rapid wave of consolidation which highlights the fact that those in charge of training and talent management need to rethink the way they approach learning. Speexx Exchange provides an excellent opportunity to understand how these changes are likely to affect them and allows individuals to share best practice on bridging technical changes against their own corporate needs."
Attendees confirmed that they were extremely impressed by the diverse blend of speakers and regarded Speexx Exchange as an highly valuable learning opportunity. 90 percent said they would be interested in joining again next year. More highlights and quotes can be found on the official Speexx Exchange website and via the Speexx Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

Berlin business is hit with fine
BERLIN The owner of a tire recycling business on the Barre-Montpelier Road has been slapped with a $17,000 fine for operating a solid waste facility for the past eight years without a permit.
Fred Budzyn, owner of Budzyn Removal & Recycling in Berlin, was fined $17,301 after Environmental Law Judge Thomas Durkin concluded the discarded tires Budzyn was paid to recycle, reuse or dispose of constituted solid waste.
Durkin arrived at that conclusion after a one-day trial that capped the state Agency of Natural Resources repeated but unsuccessful attempts to persuade Budzyn to resolve the violation by obtaining the certification officials said he needed.
According to agency officials, Budzyn has since applied for a solid waste certification and it is expected one will soon be issued now that a financial responsibility instrument designed to ensure cleanup of the facility is in place.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON While thinking about space exploration might be associated with Cape...

Bethel Heights Casteel Reserve Pinot noir 2014
$74.95 Regular
94 points The Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Pinot Noir Casteel Reserve is more of a location-orientated cuv�e since 2008, coming from two parcels within the Bethel Heights vineyard. It has a crisp and very focused bouquet with dark plum, cranberry leaf and cold stone aromas that show impressive transparency. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very harmonious and cohesive with a supple texture, very pure with great tension and precision towards the finish. What a fabulous Pinot Noir - world class."
2012 vintage notes:
Nothing short of incredible. I'm asked all the time if certain wines are "really that good." Yes, this is really that good. It's better, in fact. One of my top Pinots of the 2012 vintage, f-ing wow! Sexy and supple, amazingly deep and rich yet stunningly elegant. So superbly integrated and balanced. - Marcus
Only 230 cases made, the 2012 is a blend of Dijon clone blocks from Bethel Heights' Estate Vineyard, planted in 1994 and 1996.
Previous vintage notes:
2010 Wine Spectator - 94 points - Smooth, round and expressive, light-footed but bursting with currant, blackberry and floral flavors, hinting at mint and wet stone as the finish lingers effortlessly against fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2020. 270 cases produced. - H.S.
The 2010 Casteel Reserve is a blend of select barrels from several blocks of Estate vineyards, selected to represent the best expression of the vintage. The blend is different from vintage to vintage. 50% of the blend is clone 114, planted in 1996. 20% comes from a block of clone 667 at Justice vineyard planted in 1999. 30% comes from the Estate�s oldest vines, Wadenswil clone planted in 1977. Aged 11 months in (60% new) French oak. 270 cases produced. - the winery
2009 Vintage
2009 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Firm in texture up front, with a mineral cast to the dark berry, cherry, licorice and spice flavors, finishing with generosity as the finish soft-shoes smoothly offstage. Drink now through 2019. 450 cases made. - H.S.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
2008 Tanzer - 93 points - Bright, ruby-red. Complex, spice-accented bouquet displays raspberry preserves, cherry-cola, potpourri and smoky minerals. Energetic and precise on the palate, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors that show impressive depth and energy. Gains weight with air, picking up a mocha note and finishing with impressive power and focus. I'd stash this away for at least five more years.
2008 Wine Advocate - 92 points - The 2008 Pinot Noir Casteel Reserve is a blend of the winery�s best barrels. The process of selection must have been quite a task given the raw materials. The expressive bouquet of sandalwood, Asian spices, underbrush, rose petal, incense and assorted black fruits leaps from the glass. On the palate it displays dense, succulent fruit, outstanding volume, precision and balance. Give it 5-6 years in the cellar. Drink 2015-2028.�
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Bethel Heights "Casteel" Pinot noir 06 is Bethel Heights' blockbuster wine. Raspberry, black cherry, currant and pie spice waft from the glass. This is a wine of great depth, with a silky mouthfeel and an expansive finish. It's hard to believe there's 50% new oak-it's so well integrated. - Marcus
2006 Wine Advocate - 93 points - The 2006 Pinot Noir Casteel Reserve is medium ruby-colored with an alluring perfume of wood smoke, damp earth, black cherry, and black raspberry. This is followed by a wine with excellent focus, density, and intense, savory dark fruits, It is well balanced, nicely structured, and has a long, fruit-filled close. Give it 2-3 years of additional bottle age and drink it from 2010 to 2018."
The aromatic profile is dominated by currant, black cherry, and oak spice. The palate is concentrated, featuring dense black and red fruits fruit and a subtle earthiness, framed by vibrant acids that not only provide the wine with length, but also provide the necessary structure for aging. Fine grain tannins round out this wine.
2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
"When we set out to select our best barrels and blend of our 2005 Casteel Reserve, we did not pre-determine what components would be included, but as in each previous vintage, the 2005 vintage includes "Flat Block" (planted 1979), "West Block" (planted 1977), "Seven Springs" vineyard (located 5 miles North of Bethel Heights, established in 1982), and "Clone 114" (planted 1996). The 2005 Casteel Reserve has all the elegance & complexity of its predecessors." - the winemaker
- 32% Bethel Hts "Flat Block", 36% "Seven Springs", 16% Bethel Hts "Wadenswil Block", 16% Bethel Hts "Clone 114" Aged for 14 months (50% new) in French oak. - the winery
2005 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Lithe, open and immensely appealing for its supple plum, blueberry and dusky spice aromas and flavors, lingering beautifully on the harmonious finish. Drink now through 2014. - H.S.
2005 Tanzer - 92 points - Smoky, musty blackberry aroma is lifted by spicy and floral nuances. Sweet and silky on the palate, conveying an explosive impression of ripe blackberry and cassis. One of the most powerfully fruit-driven wines I tasted from Oregon this year. The juicy, long finish features a concentrated blackcurrant flavor and a complicating smoky quality. Really sexy pinot."

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Ealy likes playing robot
Romance, comedy, drama, action -- Michael Ealy has played it all during his eclectic career in film ("Barbershop," "Underworld: Awakening," "Think Like a Man") and on TV ("Sleeper Cell," "The Good Wife," "Common Law").
But he never thought his greatest acting challenge would be as a robot. Then again, Dorian, his character on Fox's buzzed-about new series "Almost Human," has some unusual dimensions for an automaton.
"Almost Human" is a futuristic buddy-cop show that teams a grizzled lawman, "Judge Dredd's" Karl Urban, with an android Ealy's Dorian, who has been fitted with a controversial program called Synthetic Soul.
The twist is that Dorian is, in many ways, more human than his emotionally shutdown partner. But he's also a machine.
"I can't access my experience all the time to make this go," Ealy said. "I was shooting a scene an hour ago with Karl, and I wanted to play it funny, but I couldn't. I had to make it Dorian-appropriate. You always have to have that subtle hint that he's not a real person. I'm always playing jazz with that."
The other challenge is that "Almost Human's" sci-fi setting relies heavily on computer-generated effects that are added in postproduction. So Ealy, 40, and Urban are often acting in a vacuum.
"When we set up a scene, the director lets us know what the world is looking like around us," Ealy said. "For the most part, we're playing pretend."
The role may pique Ealy's legion of female fans who swoon over his glacial good looks and silky aura. Sorry, ladies, no romantic romps for Dorian.
"When I first spoke to the creator of the show, J.H. Wyman, I had to tell him I was kind of excited about playing a character who doesn't have a love interest," the actor said. "That's a rarity for me."
Wyman, previously an executive producer on "Fringe," was sure he had found the right actor to be his Dorian.
"I had seen Michael in many things before and thought he was good," Wyman said. "When we met, we had a three-hour meeting. It was supposed to be a 15-minute meeting, but we got to talking about the character, and the next thing we knew it was three hours later."
Ealy's handsome profile takes a serious pounding on "Almost Human." Because Dorian can be patched up good as new, he gets disfigured quite a bit.
"I've never seen a TV show with this much action," he said. "That means I spend a lot of time in the makeup trailer, because so many things are happening to me."
Fortunately, they don't mess with Ealy's most arresting feature: his incandescent blue eyes.

Sorry for the unannounced disappearance!
The move back to the states, living out of a small bedroom with two animals, and being without a steady means of transportation has made it difficult for me to concentrate on blogging! On top of that, all of my spare time lately has been spent house hunting and Christmas shopping.
Luckily, we did find a nice house, but for now it's empty since our furniture is still on its way back from Sicily! But Smack and Thumbelina have moved into the new place and Justin has been sleeping there on an inflatable mattress so that his commute to work is shorter. The animals are happy to have the run of the house after being mostly confined to one room for the last month! I've been borrowing a car when I can and splitting my time between my sister's place and the new house. Hopefully the furniture and my car will arrive sometime in January.
Tomorrow, I am heading back up to central California to spend Christmas and New Year's with the rest of my family. I will have my sourdough starter in tow and plan on making a sourdough swap with some Bay Area relatives! If everything goes well, I'll be returning with a new (to me) starter that has been in my cousin's family for decades (maybe centuries)! I'll know more about the history of it soon.
Phew! Now you're all caught up.
So, what have I been doing, foodwise, in San Diego? Eating out a lot, unfortunately! Don't get me wrong, I do like to eat out occasionally. But now that my body is used to eating good, home cooked meals, it doesn't like it when I eat out too much! Not only have I been packing on the pounds (something that happens every time I come back to the states), but I haven't been feeling that great either. But I have to admit that despite my increasing waistline and that not-so-healthy feeling, I've been enjoying eating out at some good Mexican, Greek, Chinese, and American restaurants!
One healthy thing I have been eating a lot of lately is the wonderful tangerines off the tree in my sister's backyard. The oranges aren't quite ripe yet but the tangerine tree is loaded with super sweet, perfectly ripe, seedless tangerines! Mostly we peel and eat them right off the tree but we've also been enjoying them in salads and even muffins!
My favorite salad so far was made of tangerines and jicama with garlic, olive oil, cilantro and crushed red pepper. This was actually one of the first things I created after arriving in San Diego and it was made with a bag of tangerines I found sitting on the kitchen counter one day (this was before I realized that my sister's tangerines were ripe). I wasn't sure who the fruit belonged to, but I figured that they were free for the taking since they had been left on the counter! I later found out that they were a gift from my brother-in-law's aunt. Thanks, Aunt Monica!
The salad is a simple creation but peeling and sectioning the tangerines might seem intimidating if you've never done it before. Although some might think that tangerines don't yield enough fruit to make this method worth the effort, I disagree! It really didn't take much time at all and I enjoyed this salad even more than the orange salads I usually make! Here are some step-by-step photos to show you the process:
1. Cut off the top and bottom of the tangerine.
2. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the peel in sections, being sure to remove all of the white pith as you go.
3. Continue until the tangerine has been peeled completely.
4. Holding the tangerine in one hand and a paring knife in the other, carefully remove each section by cutting just inside the white membrane on either side.
5. Don't throw away any of the peels or empty membranes, you'll be salvaging the leftover juice from these later!
5. You should end up with perfectly smooth, bite-size, membrane-free tangerine pieces. I peeled and sectioned 4 or 5 tangerines to get this amount (enough for my lunch!):
Next comes the jicama! If you aren't familiar with this slightly sweet, crunchy root, Wikipedia offers a good explanation. It might not be the prettiest thing to look at, but jicama is wonderful in salads!
I usually shred it, but this time I decided to try it cubed.
I wanted to have equal parts tangerine and jicama but I just eyeballed the amount instead of actually measuring.
Next, I chopped up a handful of cilantro leaves to sprinkle over the top.
Now for the dressing. Hopefully you listened to me and saved that pile of tangerine peels and mebranes! You want to squeeze every last bit of juice from that mess! You can even pour off the juice that has collected on the cutting board and whatever has collected in the bowl or plate of tangerine sections. You should be able to salvage about a tablespoon of juice per peeled tangerine. Exact amounts aren't important, just collect as much juice as you can and put it in a bowl. This is about a quarter cup of juice:
Next, pour in an equal amount of extra virgin olive oil:
Then add one a clove or two of fresh chopped garlic (I used one clove for 1/4 C. juice and 1/4 C. olive oil):
Finally, whisk it all together! If you don't have a cute little whisk like this one, don't worry! A fork will do just fine.
To finish your salad, sprinkle the plate of tangerines and jicama with fresh ground black pepper, sea salt and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper (if you like it spicy, add lots of crushed red pepper, it's great that way). Pour a few spoonfuls of dressing over the salad and reserve the rest for another use.
Now it's time to eat!
Tangerine and Jicama Salad with Garlic and Cilantro
4 or 5 tangerines, peeled and sectioned
equal amount of cubed jicama (eyeball it)
handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
pinch of sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
pinch of crushed red pepper
dressing to taste (recipe follows)
Combine tangerine pieces and jicama in a bowl or on a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Top with a few spoonfuls of Tangerine Garlic Dressing. Serves one or two.
Tangerine Garlic Dressing
1/4 C. fresh squeezed tangerine juice
1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Whisk together all ingredients.
Now I'm ready for some oranges! Although the oranges on my sister's tree aren't quite ripe, I know I'll have access to plenty of fresh oranges once I get up to Madera tomorrow. My goal is to create a few new recipes using some of our wonderful California oranges when I get there. In the meantime, here are some orange recipes from last winter!
Blood Orange and Green Olive Salad
Orange Cranberry Salad with Walnuts and Blue Cheese
Mini Orange Cheesecakes with Grand Marnier Cream
And it turns out that someone did try making my Lemon Sugar Cookies with oranges instead of lemons like I had suggested after seeing that Patricia had tried them with Limes. Well, she actually used clementines but I think it's close enough! Check out Allison's Clementine Sugar Cookies at A Day Late and a Dollar Short.
One last thing! I want to send out a huge thank you to Ben Lew, the very talented designer who created the original Pinch My Salt theme for this blog. He is the one responsible for the new winter colors which showed up at the beginning of the month. If you only read my posts through a feed reader, stop by and check out the new look! If you are looking for a designer, Ben's portfolio, resume, and contact info can be found at BenLew.com
Glad you made it back and are slowly getting settled in. And a great looking recipe as always.

The salad sounds fantastic!
I actually have a blogging question that I'm hoping you'll take a moment to answer.
I've also just moved from a wordpress-hosted to a self-hosted blog, and I'm wondering how you made the little circle Oops image on your old site? From the code that I can see it looks like a widget. Did you get it somewhere that's available to others, or is it just yours.
Anyways, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!8:10 pm Jan 21st, 2008
Happy New Year! After doing my reading rounds of food blogs I came back to yours to see you are back in the States! In San Diego no less!

Neil Godin is a native of Vancouver, Canada. As a business speaker, trainer and consultant, he works with companies of all sizes and kinds—in every kind of business and industry. His client list includes Fortune-1000 level companies such as Ford, Shell, McDonalds, Telus, KPMG, Subway, Dun & Bradstreet, ReMax, and The Royal Bank, as well as hundreds of small and mid-size companies. He has been called "a walking encyclopedia" of sales and marketing strategies, ideas, how-to's and success stories. His seminars and conference presentations deliver a fresh, invigorating (and entertaining) flow of ideas "from the real world," delivered in an engaging "roving mike" format that audience members enjoy thoroughly. While most of Neil's clients are healthy companies that want to ramp up their sales, he also specializes in working with companies in crisis—where sales always have to be doubled or tripled – immediately – at minimal cost. Doing this specialized guerrilla marketing work over the past 28 years has earned him the nickname, The Turnaround Guy.® Neil is the host and publisher of "Marketing Dangerously," a sales and marketing coaching service that delivers "An Idea a Day" to members around the globe—as well as monthly coaching teleseminars; live coaching events—and a huge archive of business building articles, and audio and video recordings, called "The Idea Vault." He is also author of "Selling in the (Comfort) Zone" (available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other outlets). As a speaker he has presented to more than 300,000 business people from coast to coast in Canada and the United States.
