Elaboration of wines at Cavas Valmar
Currently the grapes used to make the Cavas Valmar wines come from wineries located in the Valle of San Vicente which is south of Ensenada. The vines there are 40 years old. The Chenin Blanc is produced at their winery in the Valle de Guadalupe with 30 year old plants.
The technology to make the Cava Valmar wines has constantly changed improving year after year: They have put forth larger and more modern equipment with even more adequate humidity temperature controls.
The elaboration of Chenin Blanc begins in July when vintners visit the wineries to check the characteristics desired for the grape harvest. That is to say that they look for sugar content, acidity in addition to selecting the part of the vineyard that is the healthiest with no damage to the leaves or the grapes.
Once they determine the harvest date, the harvest will begin in the first hours of the morning using plastic boxes with a capacity for 10 kilograms to avoid loosing the fruitiness and damage to the grapes during their transportation to Ensenada.
In Ensenada, the grapes are separated from the vines sending the juice, skin and seeds to the fermentation tanks. Afterwards, only the juice is sent to the fermentation. The skins and seeds are pressed and this juice is fermented separately being of lower quality. This juice is fermented at lower temperature of approximately 12 degrees centigrade for two or three months and after gelatin is added to be filtrated and stabilized for bottling. The bottles are sent to storage to rest for at least six months before being labeled to be ready for sale.
The elaboration of the Cabernet Sauvignon begins in September with the supervision of the vineyard. When the optimum conditions of quality are reached, the harvest begins. These grapes are also picked in the early hours of the morning in plastic boxes for their transportation to Ensenada where they begin their grinding process sending juice, skin and seed to the fermentation tanks where they stay for 12 days extracting the colors, flavors and aroma that will give the Cavas Valmar character. Once the alcoholic fermentation has completed the the wine is placed in the wood barrels where the second fermentation called malolactica begins.
At the end of the year the wine is sent to other barrels separating the sediment. They are sent to another facility with controlled temperature and humidity. They remain there aging a minimum of 12 months. After this, a bit of egg whites are added and filtrated, stabilized and bottled to be sent back to the winery where it will spend another 12 months before being labeled to be ready for sale.

Discover the Santo Tomas Vineyard of Baja California
Open since 1888, Bodegas de Santo Tomas winery has been producing wine longer than any other winery in Mexico. It is best known for having joined California's Wente Vineyard to produce Duetto, a 50-50 Santo Tomas/Wente blend. It is also known for its Santo Tomás Reserva Unico.
The origen of Santo Tomas Vineyard and Winery (Bodegas de Santo Tomas) comes from the Domincan Missionaries who settled the Baja area circa 1697. The mission of Santo Tomas de Aquino was started by Jose Loriente on April 24, 1791 in the Valle de Santo Tomas.
En 1888, Francisco Andonegul and Miguel Ormart started Santo Tomas Vineyards and Winery.
Abelardo Rodriquez acquired Santo Tomas Vineyards and Winery in 1932 and 3 years later established the business on Miramar Street in Ensenada Baja California where the first bottling plant was there was established in 1939.
Don Elias Pando continues the traditon now as the main principle owner.
Bodegas de Santo Tomas has over 118 years of business and service in the wine making business. They are one of the forefathers of the newly rediscovered wine industry here in Baja California.

Guataque wine event, Mexico (4/4)
When you put this wine event into the proper perspective, acknowledging that these dedicated, artisan and smaller producers, with limited resources and training are making a diverse mixture of drinkable wines, it's very impressive. In deed, some of these winemakers from this event and local winemaking schools have moved up the chain and become known nationally for their artisan and boutique wines. In reality, Mexico's wine industry is still emerging in quality and production, but it is an exciting time as the industry evolves. Due to the low production of wine, and with a growing national market for regional wine, many artisan winemakers are having success in selling their products. Handcrafted wines have the advantage of bringing to the consumer, the "bottled spirit and passion" of the individual winemakers and their intimate relationship to the vines and land. As we grow and gain experience with our craft, we offer great value for the quality, and a personal expression in the art of making small quantities of wine.
Several regional food venues were present with an abundance of gourmet delights for this event to include: Capricho's, Casa Plasencia, Tres Misiones Cheese and Olive Oil. Cafe Tomas, Bodegas del Arte, and Hogaza pastries. The event organizers were able to artfully blend a combination of wine, cerveza, food, music, dancing and good times into a successful day in Mexico's premium wine country. For those winemakers and wineries I didn't mention in this article, don't worry, I'll be featuring several artisan operations in upcoming articles for this publication and others. Please contact me if you want further coverage of your wines and your passion for the art. Thankfully, Viña de Liceaga came through again as a graceful host for this event. Serious wine and food lovers, please note that as of July 1st, Saverios Restaurant (one of the best in the region) will be setting up their summer tent galley as Asador Campestre at Liceaga Winery in San Antonio de las Minas. They'll be open Tuesdays through Sundays from noon until 10 p.m.

Guateque wine event, Mexico (3/4)
Alvaro Alvarez and Hortensia Riesgo, brew-master and winemaker, have been focused an creating premium handcrafted beer and in Ensenada since 1992.
Zinfandel seems to be a "rising star" among the artisan winemaking movement. One reason for the presence of Zinfandel is that there was a small surplus left over this last season that made its way to the artisans and smaller producers who have to purchase grapes from growers. Pau Pijoan of Viñas Pijoan empowered one of his beautiful daughters and her friends to pour his Mare, a 100% Zinfandel which was a "stand-out" (the wine) at this event. Another notable Zinfandel poured is being produced by Agosto. This 2008 Zinfandel is a team effort by Laura Chanes, Monica Chanes, Gloria Guisa and Juan Antonio Fernandez. Quinta Liz Arraga, Laura Chanes was a fellow graduate of mine at the "world renowned" La Escuelita, the artisan winemaking school in El Porvenir, Valle de Guadalupe. She is one of many women in Mexico who are taking part in our emerging wine industry with great results and progress. Another 2007 Zinfandel from Serena, is another prime example for the potential of Zinfandel in the region.

Guateque wine event, Mexico (2/4)
Two interesting features this year was a nice presentation of regional micro-brewed beers (cerveza) and an abundance of Zinfandel wine. Labricha Cerveza Artesanal had an excellent table presentation with a fine selection of handcrafted beer, staffed with knowledgeable personnel. Their Monasterio Stout, is smooth, full-bodied, with hints of coffee and smoke flavors, that would pair-up nicely with oven-baked lamb and many mole dishes. In addition, they make a palate-pleasing light honey ale, bright golden color, clean, refreshing, with floral aromas, ending with a smooth finish with a hint of ginger. I'd love to match this brew with carne asada, or shrimp in coconut milk sauce.

Guataque wine event, Mexico (1/4)
This annual wine event is probably the most enthusiastic and "down to earth" wine country event held each year in Valle de Guadalupe. The focus is on emerging winemakers, beginners, artisans, home-brewers, small operations and intermediate-level producers. This year's event was enhanced with the use of the new multi-use activity center generously provided by Viña de Liceaga in San Antonio de las Minas. The overall event planning was brilliantly orchestrated by Leonardo Lizárraga and friends. It is remarkable to note that these events continue to advance and improve vastly with each season. The food venues, tickets sales, parking, sanitation, stage, live music, dancing area, gazebos, security, and table seating made for a fun, family-oriented event. One obvious element was that you could really feel the "enthusiasm and spirit" as you approached the grounds, filled with a diverse mix of people, micro-brewed beers, regional culinary delights and newly produced wines.

Casa de Piedra Winery, what and where ?
This project was born with the desire to produce an excellent wine for the enjoyment of the group of people whose interest and enthusiasm lay in the initiation of the winery. At Casa de Piedra, we have endeavored to make our "Estate Wine" using the grapes from the area and its diverse microclimates. Utilizing the latest technology combined with the expertise and sensibility of our winemakers, we have attained a level upon which, each bottle exclusively reflects the personality of the land.
The vineyard is located at km 93.5 in valley of San Antonio de las Minas, Baja California. The Casa de Piedra and its vineyards, is uniquely situated, lending its geometric rhythm and harmony to the vines. The building has an intimate farmhouse ambiance, but is well equipped with small capacity stainless steel tanks complete with computerized processing control, a semi-gravitational system and underground caves. Eight years have passed since our first harvest, and we have received high acclaim of our wine both nationally and internationally.

Discovering Mexican Wines
I recently returned from a wonderful two-week vacation in Mexico. It was my first time there as a tourist, and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the diversity of the country from the hustle of Mexico City to the vibrant traditions of Chiapas and the ancient cultures of the Mayas in the Yucatán. One of the most enjoyable parts of the trip was the food and drink.
From dishes traditionally associated with Mexico (burritos, fajitas, empanadas), to more regional dishes we sampled (cochinita pibil, relleno negro, poc-chuc), everything was as good as I had hoped. I also enjoyed the variety of Mexican beers, from the ubiquitous Corona to lesser-known brands such as Modelo Especial, Pacifico and Superior to name just a few. The real surprise, however, was the discovery that Mexico produces wine — and that some of it is quite good.
I should warn you that I make no pretenses to have tasted the full gamut of Mexican wines. Indeed, a Mexican friend who imports French wines into Mexico warned me that the best wines — which are usually produced in low volumes — are not available in ordinary restaurants. They are snapped up by top restaurants and collectors. That said, this review will offer the normal tourist a reasonable guide to what is found on most restaurant menus. Note that all prices are in US dollars and reflect the price I paid in the restaurant.
In all, I tasted only eight different wines: one sparkling, two whites and five reds. The rest of the time, I was drinking beer or Chilean and Argentine wines. Half the wines I tasted were from producer Pedro Domecq, part of the Pernod Ricard wines and spirits group. Though good distribution has clearly helped Pedro Domecq, the wines are in fact reliable. Domecq's 2006 XA Blanc de Blancs made from Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling was the "value" find of the trip. It was slightly buttery on the palate with hints of apricot and honey. The finish had just enough acidity so that it wasn't cloying. Widely available, it only costs $18 in most restaurants, and it is often available in a half bottle (for a little less than half the price).
The reds from Pedro Domecq run the gamut. The 2003 XA Cabernet Sauvignon is like the dozens of average Cabs you see from Chile. Medium bodied, it has flavors of lush ripe red berries with soft tannins. In all, it is a flabby but very drinkable wine for only $20. Moving up the quality scale is the 2003 Chateau Domecq Cosecha Seleccionada. This wine is round and supple with flavors of wild berries. Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Niebbelo, it is a better deal at $23; I only saw it twice on the wine lists however. In what I tasted from Pedro Domecq, the 2005 Reserva Real was by far the best. Made from Merlot and Petit Syrah, the wine has a burnt cherry taste with firm tannins. We definitely drank this one too young, but, at $26 a bottle, it did not hurt the pocketbook.
The other producer prevalent on wine lists is L.A. Cetto. I tasted at least two of their wines and both were disappointing. The 2005 Fumé Blanc was completely flat, with no freshness at all. At $24 this was a heavy price to pay. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, at $15 a bottle, was at least cheaper, but the wine was just awful. It reminded me of all the really bad wines I used to drink when I did not know any better and could not afford any better, even if I did.
The star of the trip was from producer Monte Xanic. The 2002 Merlot was a perfect expression of what Merlot can be: full of flavors of lush, overripe cherries, and smooth as silk tannins. It was perhaps a bit past its prime, but it was the wine of the trip, with a $65 price tag to show for it. It was the only wine I tasted that showcased the caliber of high-end Mexican wines.
Finally, the bottle of sparkling wine we purchased to toast the end of a successful trip fell flat. The Vino Blanco Espumoso Brut from Champbrule ($12) is a mix of Chardonnay and French Colombard. It tasted like the worst of both. My notes literally read "bland creamy white with bubbles forced through it." Celebrate with some Chilean sparkling instead, or better yet just splurge on French champagne.
So if you are off to Mexico for vacation, my advice is to choose your local wine carefully because there are indeed good ones to be had. For higher quality wines, you will need to head to a top restaurant and pay the price, if the Monte Xanic is indicative. In the mainstream, Pedro Domecq is widely available and offers, on the whole, good value for the money. Nevertheless, if you find yourself at a simple home-style joint without good wine options, the varied local beers make perfect chasers. I look forward to exploring more Mexican wines when they are widely available on the export market or on future trips to Mexico. I know now I've only scratched the surface.

Classic Literature, Reimagined For The Smartphone Era - Perseus And Medusa
AT&T Updates a Classic: The Greeks invented philosophy in order to contemplate how much they wished they had Smartphones, and they invented math to express how many percents cooler their lives would be with Smartphones. (300% was their guess, very close to the 306.7% that was confirmed by Western scientists in the '50s.)
1. Classic Literature, Reimagined For The Smartphone Era
The Greeks had it rough: they lived literally dozens of years before the invention of microblogging, Gods and Goddesses were constantly declaring war on things like "the ocean," and people only spoke in allegories, so no one could ever agree on what to order for dinner. AT&T's network lets you talk and surf at the same time on your Smartphone, which is always helpful, whether you're a Millennial trying to finalize plans with friends, or a timeless hero from antiquity trying to slay the Gorgon Queen.

Great location in a Beautifull central but quiet street.lovely apartment with amazing original wooden ceiling! Walking distance from all places and metro stop.
Small but really beautifull place on a marvelous spot . The house is located a bit outside the crowdy hotspots.but an ideal start for walking the Tiber area . I loved the ambience (and so did my brother and sister.. ).Ciao Paola and Guido , and thanks for the nice welcome
This was the second time we have been in Paola's appartment. Everything was perfect and well organized. We sent her a text message as soon as we left the airport and her daughter waited for her and explained a littel bit what was new (the kitchen has now two modern cooking plates). The bathroom is also modern and new. The appartment itself is in a very old house and has typical wooden ceilings. Just around the corner is a very good supermarket coop a small bakery where you can get fresh cheese and sausage. The appartment is very central, so you can make everything by foot, but it is also very quiet. The staircase is very steep and narrow as it is typical for old buildings. We enjoyed our stay an.and will surely come back.
A cute and lovely flat in the centre of Rome. In the apartement you can find everythig you need and Paola is a great, friendly and helpful host. We had an amazing stay in the apartement and would always come back in the future. Thank you, Paola!
Our stay in Paola and Guido's apartment couldn't have been better! The location in Rome is perfect both for visiting the city, with it's many tourist attractions, and for enjoying daily life in a relatively quiet neighbourhood, near to the local grocery supplier and trattoria. Before arrival we had telephone contact with Paola, who gave us directions on how to best find our way to the flat from the airport, and on arrival we were welcomed by Guido, who explained all necessary details about the flat and gave us the keys. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the flat was well prepared for our arrival with clean linnen, towels and even fresh fruit! It's a small but very well planned and beautiful apartment, perfect for two people. The flat is well kept and equipped with both modern standars and historic charms. The bedroom is quiet (no sounds from neighbouring apartments) with a comfortable and wide bed. The kitchenette is good for making brekfast and lunch. The bathroom is well equipped with bidé and shower. The sitting area has a little sofa for relaxing after a hectic day. The wifi works without problems. If we return to Rome we hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!
This small and nice appartment is perfectly located. You are in the middle of the historic centre and can explore the city by walking. The appartment has everything you need and Paola is very helpful and nice. We had a great stay!
November 2014
The apartment is very central, you walk just a few minutes and you are in the best sights of Rome. Its very clean, it offers you the necessary stuff for the accomodation. Paola is very helpful and polite host, everything was super! i will recommend this apartment and i hope i rent it again in the future. Thank you Paola
Very good location, near Campo de Fiori, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon if you look for some highlights.
Restaurant, café and kiosque on the little square round the corner, as well as many small shops.
The apartment is small, but cosy, and everything you need is there in this 17th century house.
We liked very much the ambiance of a roman neighbourhood.

/// No Heir — Though Lots of Spares — to the Microsoft Throne in New Reorg of Tech Giant
There were doubtlessly be a lot of what-it-all-means chewing over the two very long memos by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer about his massive redo of the Microsoft executive bench today. Among the many questions: Can the notoriously political execs at the software giant learn to play nice in the much more significantly interdependent new organization? Can there be such a thing as "One Microsoft"? What happens when there is disagreement and management finds it hard to follow Ballmer's rule that "we are rallying behind a single strategy as one company — not a collection of divisional strategies"? All of this will be sorted out in the months ahead, of course, taking many months or more before it's clear how the new org works. But one key question that the longtime leader of the tech giant most definitely did not answer in any way whatsoever is the increasingly interesting question of who will eventually replace him in running the company. The new reorg does not point to any one person as an heir apparent to Ballmer. To be clear: Ballmer is not close to retiring from his job with this change, despite periodic pressure from a variety of shareholders to dump him and persistent rumors that he was on the brink of stepping down. But, despite a lot of criticism, he is not going anywhere for a while
See the rest here:

The tax imposed on imported milk powder by a further 15 percent or Rs
92 per kilogram, will increase prices further and as a result consumers
will go for liquid milk produced by domestic dairy farmers, analysts
The Government took this decision after dairy farmers staged a
protest by throwing fresh milk as they failed to sell it.
The local dairy industry has been growing in recent years with strong
Government support, including mandated high farm gate price. However,
today fresh milk is out of reach of the affluent consumers. Local milk
powder producing companies too faced an issue as the cost of production
is higher and their products are not competitive.
Analysts said that milk product based industries have not developed
parallel to the dairy farming and is the main cause for the issue.
They also advocate the removal of price control on fresh milk
allowing the market to function freely. Lower prices would encourage the
consumption of fresh milk and reduce protein malnutrition among
marginalised people. They said that the price increase would affect
consumers and nutrition of the people because the majority of consumers
depend on milk powder and the popularisation of fresh milk takes time.
According to this price revision, the retail price of a 400 gram
packet of milk powder will increase from Rs.260-265 to Rs.297-302.
Importers are demanding a price increase in milk powder as cost of
imports has sharply increased with the depreciation of the rupee.
The Finance Ministry said that the tax increase was to encourage and
protect the local dairy industry as well as to discourage the import of
milk powder. Sri Lanka imports 84,000 metric tones of milk powder
annually at a cost of Rs 36b .

WCJB-TV began operation on April 7, 1971, as an NBC affiliate. The first owner of the station was William E. Minshall. The first programming originated in Jacksonville, and it was sent by microwave from a station there to a relay site at Camp Blanding and from there to Gainesville for broadcast.
In 1973, WCJB-TV became an ABC affiliate which it has remained to this day. In 2009 WCJB also became a CW affiliate.
Diversified Communications, headquartered in Portland, Maine, purchased WCJB-TV on October 12, 1976.
The station first started broadcasting from a small building on NW 43rd Street, north of the city of Gainesville. At the time, NW 43rd was a dirt road and the station was "out in the country". The road, now a major artery, was not paved until 1979.
The station's first studio cameras did not have camera operators - they were remotely controlled. Commercials consisted of 16mm film and 35mm color slides. Any 16mm film shot for the newscasts had to be at the station by 2:00 PM so it could be taken to Jernigans to be processed. It was picked up at 3:45 PM, brought back to the station and edited for air.
WCJB-TV20's building was extensively remodeled and expanded in the mid-1980's, adding a new news department, production office, management offices and other facilities. The station now employs approximately 85 people, compared to fewer than 20 when the station first signed on in 1971. The station also maintains a studio in Ocala for live news broadcasts from Marion County.
In July 2008, WCJB-TV completed an extensive renovation project. It included a new home for an expanded newsroom, plus new offices for production and sales areas. The rest of the building also received a fresh and updated look.
WCJB made the switch to digital-only broadcasting in February 2009. It included adding the latest in automation and transmission equipment. The transition also led up to the debut of a new logo and news set in May 2009.

The federal government makes contributions to your child's RESP through its grant programs: the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and the Canada Learning Bond (CLB).
If you live in Alberta, Quebec or Saskatchewan, your child may be eligible for additional grant money under the Alberta Centennial Education Savings Plan, the Quebec Education Savings Incentive or the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings.
Adult beneficiaries are not eligible for government grants.
Your child will qualify for the CESG until the end of the year they turn 17. The lifetime limit for the grant is $7,200 for each child. If your child doesn't continue with their education after high school, you can't keep any of the grant money. You must return it to the government.
However, you can transfer money between individual RESPs for siblings without any tax penalties and without having to repay any CESGs. This applies to transfers that take place after 2010. The child who benefits must have been under 21 years old when the plan was opened.
Each year, the government will match your contribution by 20%, up to a maximum of $500 for each child. You need to contribute $2,500 a year to get the full grant of $500 each year. Your child can carry forward unused grant contribution room until they turn 17.
Depending on your income, the government may top up your contribution by an extra 10% or 20% on the first $500 of annual RESP contributions made on or after January 1, 2005.
If your net family income in 2016 is:
Special rules apply to beneficiaries between the ages of 15 and 17. By December 31 of the year a beneficiary turns 15, RESP contributions must:
The CLB provides an additional $2,000 per child to help families with modest incomes save in an RESP.
To qualify:
You don't have to make any contributions to the RESP to qualify.
If your child doesn't qualify for the bond when you open the RESP, you can apply later if your circumstances change.
Amount of bond:
The maximum you can receive per child is:
You have 60 days to cancel plans provided by scholarship plan dealers without any penalty. Be sure to read and understand the rules outlined in the short Plan Summary provided in the plan prospectus.

Feedback from a 2012 Beetle owner...looks like we have a new application to add to the list...
Had the HPA - HVW-904-75 (Red) Dog Bone Mount insert installed in my (Manual Shift)
2012 2.0 VW Turbo Beetle today. Since the OEM insert has a Durometer strength level of no more
than 60, I chose the HPA '75' ...the same category as the one recommended for the new Golf R. Once installed, it is immediately evident that the 'wheel hop' I was experiencing became much reduced. Adding an ECU 'Flash' to the Turbo Beetle should definitely be accompanied with HPA's 'mount' upgrade if you want better performance...to help reduce, over time, even more stress that a turbo powered Beetle will be subjected to.

Work is continuing on the hat:
The area where the new meet-and-greet will be located:
Inside the Great Movie Ride, there were very few people as you can see...
If you ever want to see "Sounds Dangerous", be sure to visit the "Soundsations" booths! It's much better than the show itself!!:
Unknown work on the Little Mermaid's queue:
Nicely-themed walls:
Work continue on "Walt Disney: One Man's Dream":
The new posters hanging on the walls:
Do grass grow on your own version of Scrabble? Well, at WDW everything is possible:
Nothing to see here:
The Osborne lights are being installed:
Star Tours seems untouched (judging by the exterior):
The Star Tours store is still open though:
There are walls on the entrance of the ride:
And at the exit, the doors are (of course) closed:
The Art of Disney Animation seems to have some new LCD tv's while you wait for the next drawing class:
Thanks for viewing, and as always, have a great, OTPN day!

Excuse me Samu but Honey I shrunk the kids was moved form Epcot to DS?
Anonymous said...
In EPCOT, you had the Honey I Shrunk The AUDIENCE experience, in DHS, you have "a set" from the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie, which is kind of a playground
Bigfoots said...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... yes... now I remember! Actually in epcot it's been replaced by Captain EO!!!
James said...
I hope this means they're leaving the exterior of Star Tours as it is! It's debatable whether or not it would fit in with the time period of the new ride, but I love it.

All the latest news, ideas, and opinions from Denver's Independent Literary Center: lighthousewriters.org
I've been thinking lately about what stuff is worth. Apparently, J.D. Salinger wrote a note to his housekeeper in March of 1989 asking her to be sure to finish up her chores before heading out for vacation. This two-line note is listed for sale on EBay. The price? A whopping $50,000. Which, you know, seems like a lot. On the other hand, apparently the cast of Jersey Shore is currently pulling in $40,000 per episode per person. So one hour of one over-tanned, over-muscled, over-drunk cast member of an over-exposed, not-even-close-to-reality-show is worth only about $10,000 less than a handwritten note from one of the most revered authors in American literature. I know it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I have to say that if I had $50,000 to throw around and was forced to choose between purchasing the note or watching an episode of Jersey Shore, I'd choose the note in a heartbeat. And lest you think I'm one of those folks who shuns television, I am not. My husband produces television. I have worked in television. I watch television. I find many programs to be wildly entertaining, thought-provoking, fascinating and just downright fun. Still, I do avoid those programs that take a small segment of the population and pump them up until they become ridiculous parodies of an entire ethnic or cultural group. I grew up in the deep South. I know what it feels like to see your entire home region reduced to one bad cliché.
But I digress.
Back to the issue of what stuff is worth. This past weekend, I went to see "Intersection," the collaboration between Lighthouse's poet extraordinaire Michael J. Henry and Ballet Nouveau Colorado's exceptional artistic director Garrett Ammon. The tickets were modestly priced. I love live theater in almost every form: dance, music, comedy or drama. We regularly splurge on tickets to see musicals or plays at Denver's Performing Arts Complex. And I do mean splurge. The cost of tickets to see even a small performance at the DPAC can be twice the cost of the Ballet Nouveau performance we enjoyed this past weekend. And yet, I don't believe I've ever been more impressed with a performance. From the poems to the story (and, yes, there is a story) to the choreography to the lighting and music, it was one of the most wholly satisfying performances I've ever seen. You can still catch it this coming weekend (Sept. 23-25) at the Performing Arts Complex at PCS in North Denver: For tickets or more information visit Ballet Nouveau Colorado's website. It's absolutely worth your time and your money.
Finally, with all the talk about the U.S. Post Office going bankrupt and people on one side saying, "Who needs the post office in this age of emails and direct deposits and smart phones?" While others protest, "But what about letters? Handwritten thank you notes? My grandmother?" I offer this observation. My husband may be the last great sender of postcards and I hate to think of a day when I won't receive a sweet note from him, scribbled on the back of a photo depicting an Arkansas Razorback or a painting from the Louvre. He sends me postcards whether he is gone for a weekend or two weeks. Some are funny and some are sweet. In my opinion, these postcards are totally worth it. Opening an email will never produce the same thrill as discovering a postcard tucked in a pile of bills and junk mail like a prize in a cereal box. On the other hand, there is the junk mail. One has to assume that if direct mail marketing disappears, the purveyors of unwanted catalogs and magazines and flyers will find a way to send these items to us electronically. Better for the environment? Sure. Better for our sanity? Not so much.
In closing, I ask you to consider this tidbit of advice that landed in my mailbox recently in an unsolicited and unwanted magazine: "The hottest trend in bookshelf design is color. Grouping books by the color of their jackets helps make sense out of the chaos normally seen in a library." To which I say: You're kidding me, right? Because the only thing that makes sense of the chaos in a library is to alphabetize by author or possibly to group books by genre. Because, really, the whole point of a library is to be able to find the books you need when you need them. How much is a library worth if it's purely decorative? In my opinion, not much.
Thanks, Tiffany, for your rants about the library and your promotion of all that happens in performing arts centers/live theatre.
You're so right about so many things, Tiffany. 🙂 I get anxiety at the library or book stores anyway if the books aren't listed correctly by author or alphabetically by title; I will have a complete mental meltdown if I have to sort through shelves and shelves of red.
Pingback: Hey, What's That Worth To You? (Warning: Rambling and Ranting Ahead) | Ballet Nouveau Colorado

Pullman to get even smarter thanks to the grid
For any of you Washington State University grads or fans out there, the thought that Pullman was not a "smart city"
probably never crossed your mind. Go Cougs! But thanks to a new proposed project that Avista and some regional partners recently announced, the community of Pullman, Wash., is about to get a whole lot smarter – no homework assignments required.
Avista has joined with regional partners, led by Battelle, to develop a smart grid demonstration project using matching stimulus monies from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The proposal's intent is to show how smart grid technology can enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of energy delivery on a regional and national level.
Avista electric customers in the area will benefit greatly from this proposed project by experiencing greater reliability, shorter outage times and the opportunity to monitor energy in order to use it more efficiently, at less cost.
Customers will also be able to see up close and personal what smart grid really means to individuals, not just power companies.
Pullman makes sense as a demonstration project site because it is a bit of an electric island and we can make technological improvements to the entire area over a relatively short period of time – about two years. We plan to apply proven technology that will allow the system to adjust automatically to changes in electric demand and supply, provide automated restoration for local outages, utilize two-way communications between the electric meter and the utility and prepare the electric distribution system for future technologies.
This project helps Avista move the region (and nation) closer to establishing a more efficient and effective electricity infrastructure that's expected to help contain costs, reduce emissions, incorporate more wind power and other types of renewable energy, increase power grid reliability and provide greater flexibility for consumers.
The proposal was submitted to the DOE last month and we expect to hear back in the next few months. As for the dollar amounts, the Pullman project will cost approximately $38 million. Avista will contribute $12.9 million of that cost. The other entities participating in the project include Schweitzer Engineering, Washington State University, Itron, Hewlett Packard, and Spirae.

"'Smart grid' to get test"
or Oregon's Daily Journal of Commerce article,
"Northwest energy test may have national impact."

The border was a bit slower than I expected. Out of all the people on the bus, I think I was the only one with an American passport, but I think I got the most hassled. I guess they thought all my third world countries in the last 6 months were sketchy! Maybe they thought I was some kind of druglord. They also threw out my apples and oranges which I wasn't very happy about! Then the bus drove and reassigned seats to everybody and did a lot of things that seemed pointless. We drove on to San Antonio. It was funny-- in my hours in Texas-- even when we were off the bus-- it was all in Spanish. Even in the places we stopped, it was only Spanish spoken. When I finally was picked up by a cab driver and started speaking in Spanish, I realized that I didn't have to! It was an expensive cab ride to thee airport-- but I was running out of time. Apparently, I shouldn't have rushed. My flight was delayed about an hour! Last bus ride-- check! Sleeping at home tonight...

Never heard of "Baretta"
New .40 owner. Have some handgun experience, but not a lot. Used to trap and carried a simle .38 revolver for use as needed.
There seems to be a lot of ammo variations out there and I am wondering what works best with the Baretta .40. Any thoughts?
Never heard of "Baretta"
Most Beretta's will eat anything well... their not finicky like certain guns.
Never found a round any of my Beretta's didn't like.
If your talking about practice ammo, WWB 180 gr., or Blazer Brass 180 gr. work well....for defense, I prefer anything by Corbon...seems to be the most accurate for me. You've got a nice firearm there......
ran 300 rounds out of the box with blazer 165 and 180 gr. for targets. not 1 problem.

How does it work?
Martial arts is an all-encompassing term for any set of structured fighting and defence techniques, although it is now most commonly associated with Asian combat styles. Training methods will vary depending on the discipline, but will typically include learning set routines composed of techniques known as forms or kata.
Testing has also become an important part of the martial arts discipline and is used as a way of monitoring progress and achievement. By picking up different techniques and mastering them, you can work your way through recognised skill sets, known as 'grades', which represent your level of expertise. Completion of each graded testing is accompanied by the attainment of different coloured belts. Your current skill level is therefore represented by the belt you used to tie your robes; the lowest level (beginner) is represented by a white belt in many martial arts, whereas more experienced martial artists possess black and brown belts. Tests normally require you to complete one or more katas, answer some questions or complete some simple physical exercises, and may also include sparring.
Sparring is the demonstration of the combat techniques in action, against an opponent. It is divided into light, medium and full-contact sparring, which refers to the level of force which can be used. In light-contact, the punches are pulled before meeting the other person. In medium-contact, punches are not entirely pulled but are not exerted at full force, and in full-contact matches, the aim is to knock out your opponent or force them to submit. It's worth checking out how it works at your chosen venue, as some classes include mandatory sparring while others leave it as an optional extra.
Some teachers also place more of an emphasis on the holistic capabilities of martial arts. Training could boost your self-esteem, confidence, self-control and become an important way of releasing the stresses and strains of daily life. Nothing beats that old trick of picturing someone's face as you hit something...
Is it for me?
Martial arts can be practiced by men, women and children of all ages and you're sure to find a class to suit you. Women may find the self-defence aspect particularly beneficial, but everyone should feel an improvement in general physical fitness by regularly attending martial arts classes and you can also expect to feel a boost in strength, stamina, flexibility and coordination. Just a few of the most well-known styles you can choose from are: [[treatment/fencing/| Fencing]] Wrestling [[treatment/kickboxing/| Kickboxing]] [[treatment/jujitsu/| Jujitsu]] [[treatment/karate/| Karate]] [[treatment/kung-fu/| Kung Fu]] [[treatment/aikido/| Aikido]] [[treatment/taekwon-do/| Taekwon-Do]]
Good to know
Apparently there are more than 50 million people practicing karate worldwide, so it has to be good for something...

drain pipe from HVAC in attic dripping on to sheetrock
We had a new HV AC installed like 5 years ago in the attic. Had been running w/o issue. About 2 months ago we had the sheetrock in ceiling ripped out and replaced.
Now, after having AC running for last week as weather has warmed, i noticed something. I heard a dripping sound this AM and looked up in kitchen and say water dripping from the corner of the room, just at the edge of ceiling. Crawled up in attic to check out and noticed that a 1" diameter PVC pipe connencted to AC unit in attic was dripping water onto ceiling. I've never had this problem in 5 years, so don't know if sheetrock guys accidentally ripped off connecting piece that ran to outside of house or if this drain pipe has been laying there all this time w/o any drainage coming out. There are actually two PVC drain pipes, one shooting off in direction of cooling pipe(thick, black wrapped pipe running from AC unit outside to system in attic) and this one. The former actually runs to outside of house. The one dripping inside attic is not, though there is some silicon on outside of pipe, indicating that maybe another piece was connected to it at some point.
Anyway, the pipe in question is running in the direction of a framed overhang that shades my front porch. I looked outside to see if there was a drain hole outside house where pipe would have drained to, and see nothing, though where it is aimed at there is a structured overhang that shades front porch, meaning the exterior frame of house on that side actually doesn't see outside of house, as there is the framed porch overhang. So even if there were PVC pipe that got separated that led outside it would have no where to go that i can see, so maybe it has been laying there in attic all along.
Anyways, i guess i need to call HVAC people and ask them to check it out? Is there anyway i could fix this myslef, assuming HVAC people will want funds to look at it? Is this normal in HVAC installation, to have a drain pipe just laying in middle of house?
Kinda pissed cause new ceiling got wet, about a 4"x12" area, right at corner of room. It will dry and be ok, right, though will have to Kilz and paint it? It's 5/8" variety. I had a left over piece from construction sitting outside in rain for 2 weeks and it's dry as a bone now, with integrity seemingly in tact.
Appreciate any help, and congratulations on reaching end of this diatribe.
That's the condensate drain from the evaporator coil in the furnace. That either needs to get run outside or to a drain. If it didn't leak on your ceiling before, it was running someplace. I would assume the guys working on the sheet rock disturbed it.
I'd look around and see if I could find where it's supposed to go. Like I said, it had to go somewhere before.
I don't understand why there would be caulk around the pipe. Check that to see if it's leaking there. Seems like it's piped ok just check it's not clogged.
Hub, seems like silicone was there to connect it to another piece, cause it's smoothed out at end and gets bigger as you go back toward HVAC. Only like 2" of it.
The pipes run like 12 ft from HVAC before coming to an end over kitchen. No real give in moving from left to right, and it's sitting on those crossbeams above sheetrock, so don't get why or how they could disturb it that much. There's nothing around there that looks like a pipe going down to crawl space under house that this drain pipe would drain to. Weird, right.
So this pipe would always be draining, no chance that it just started draining after two weeks of running it? Didn't think so.
Maybe the AC installers didn't glue the pvc drain and the sheetrockers breathed on it and it came apart? I see this non-sense all the time, some guys just don't like gluing their pipe, unreal.
It just seems odd that you are now seeing anproblem 5 years later. Wait for a hot day, turn down that ac and let it run for some time to see if you can jump up there and see where it's leaking from. If the Sheetrock guys didn't touch anything then it could just be clogged and having the pipes sit over winter they clogged up.
If you can find where the pipes drain to and place a cup there and see if they fill up with water.
it actually sounds like it is the auxiliary drain that is leaking. Most all a/c units come with 2 drain from the air handler. The lower drain lets all the condensation drain outside the house,the second drain is put into a more obvious place to see it drain like through the front wall of the house(this would explain the silicone) to a place were you will see it. when the higher or auxiliary drain leaks it means there is a clog in the lower or main drain. You might be able to put a shop vac on the lower line that leads outside with the copper tubing and suck out the problem. The auxiliary line may have been moved years ago and forgotten and then system just has not clogged up.

This week was again fairly uneventful. Friday, I joined some friends for poker night. That was pretty fun. Half the people did not know how to play poker, so we took the night to teach them how. It was nice to get out and see people though. I was supposed to visit a palace in a town nearby on Saturday, but the weather was quite horrid and they wanted to leave very early in the morning. Instead of going to that town, I gave Jen a tour of Arnhem. It was her first time seeing the city, so that made it a lot of fun! It was very rainy and wet, but we made the best out of it. I bought a new coat. :-) After a day in town, we were quite wet and tired, so we got into our pajamas and sat around talking over a glass of wine. Luke had joined us at this point. After that we watched a movie, Music and Lyrics. It turned out to be a really nice and relaxing day. I just remembered yesterday that I still haven't filed for my residency permit
This week I found a random windmill in the middle of a neighborhood nearby. It was on the way to the train station. It was really cool!
This weekend I head over to Lich, Germany to see my friend Philipp. I hope that things work out with my travels. This will be the first time that I have travelled by train since I arrived here in Holland. The German train drivers are also threatening to strike, beginning tomorrow, the day I am due to leave. I am really hoping it doesn't conflict with my travels. I don't really know what I would do if it did. I will fill you in after the weekend is complete.
Also, this week our hot water broke. A man was doing repairs on the water in the apartment above us and he must have messed something up. My roommate, Robbie's room became flooded with water and then our hot water was gone. It took 3 days to repair. It was a smelly three days, but today it was repaired. I had just gotten out of taking a shower in 40 degree water when the guy came to repair the water. How ironic eh?
Check out the pictures for this week, I posted a picture of my neighbor (a lovely little guy), and the windmill I found. :-)
I miss you all! Smile:-D
