Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Classic Conn Valley bouquet, cassis, cigar box, black pepper and crushed granite. Complex and dense. Full bodied, blackberries, sweet tannins, coffee, chewy and concentrated long finish, lingering aftertaste. Should age effortlessly 20-25 years.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "As I indicated last year, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a brilliant effort. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it has begun to shut down slightly, but reveals an opaque purple color along with deep, sweet, cedary, black currant aromas intermixed with hints of tobacco leaf, licorice and graphite. Full-bodied, powerful and rich, this impressive 2007 needs 4-5 years of cellaring and should keep for 25+ years."
Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards
Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards are located just east of St. Helena in the Napa Valley where Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain. Twenty-six acres of vineyards, divided into nine blocks, along with a fifteen acre-foot reservoir are the heart of this 40-acre grape-growing paradise.
Separated from the Napa Valley floor by a north/south running ridge, the world-renowned wineries of Joseph Heitz and Joseph Phelps are located on the west side of this ridge and the Anderson's Estate Vineyards are on the east side at a perfect elevation of 400 feet.
The vineyards not only enjoy Napa Valley's superb microclimate, but share the same Bale Loam Series as are found on the famous Rutherford Bench. This combination of clay-loam soil and microclimate produces up to 106 tons of exceptional fruit each year. One from which a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blend, called Éloge, can be artfully handcrafted. View all Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Deep ruby hue; Blackberry, Cassis, Tobacco, & Licorice on the nose (very fragrant); Medium+ body; Well-balanced, nicely structured; Bold luscious fruit with bright acidity at the beginning that smoothes out; Not overly oaky. Long finish with noticeable, but well integrated tannins. Decanted for about 2 hours...got better with time. This lush, juicy wine has all the promise of a classic; full of potential, but needs at least a couple of years (maybe more) cellar time.Red w/Attitude - Miami, FL512/9/2010

- Big & Bold
Dark purple color. Extraordinary aromas of mocha, violets, chocolate and cedar, with just the right amount of oak to balance. First sip is more fruit forward with juicy ripe blackberries, but quickly followed by coffee bean spice, chocolate covered cherries, and layers of concentrated dark fruit flavors. There are great fruit and oak tannins that give a definite sweetness. Once you swallow, you will keep enjoying this wine for another 2-3 minutes due to its long, lingering finish! Would definitely benefit from cellar time...maybe 2-3 years (or more).JAMES FAY - Vancouver, WA35/9/2016Paul Levine - Mamaroneck, NY511/30/201033/24/2012310/28/2011Okay ...

Only minutes from the Apalachee Bay and spectacular fishing, our comfortable 4-bedroom vacation home in Shell Point, Florida (30 miles south of Tallahassee) is located in gated Paradise Village of Shell Point, which has a community swimming pool and tennis court, and a public beach within walking distance. Right out our back door is a large boat dock (room for 3 boats) located on a point, overlooking the bay. The boat launch is conveniently located nearby. This is the view that everyone else in Paradise Village is jealous of! Any time of the day, you can kick back on the porch and watch the boats come and go ... or enjoy nature at its best, with blue herons, pelicans, white egrets, and dolphins. If you are any early bird, you can enjoy watching the sun come up over Live Oak Island from the living area, master bedroom, or the screened-in porch. To catch sunset, you can go to Shell Point Beach and be in awe as the sky is painted with a different variation of colors each night. This is truly a relaxing paradise!
Fishing: For the fisherman, the fishing is as good as it gets and there is an assortment of USCG licensed captains that will be more than willing to book a charter and take you out into the bay for a fishing experience that you will never forget. We have year round fishing, with different species here at different times. Trout and redfish are the most sought after fish and can be caught all year long. Tarpon are here from June till August, and cobia will show up in the early spring as the water warms and will stay until fall. Other fish that may be caught on the flats are Spanish Mackerel, blue fish, sheepshead, flounder, ladyfish and a numerous variety of sharks to 250 pounds. Many prefer to head out for deeper waters to catch grouper and snapper.
Golf: For the golfer, Wildwood Country Club is a beautiful public golf course located on Hwy. 98 in Medart (less than 10 minute drive). Telephone 850-926-4653
Tennis: For the tennis buff, there are 6 lighted tennis courts across the street from the golf course at Wakulla High School on Hwy. 98 in Medart. Paradise Village also has a tennis court.
Biking: Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail stretches about 20.5 miles from Tallahassee south to St. Marks. Longleaf pine and forests of oak, wax myrtle and yaupon holly nicely shade the route. The trail is wide and smooth, with occasional restrooms and benches along the rural stretches.
Hiking: There are many nature trails to choose from, along with some paved trails. St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and all of the state parks have hiking trails. Be sure to take bug spray, unless you are hiking in the wintertime. Nearby state parks include Wakulla Springs, Bald Point, San Marcos de Apalache, and Ochlockonee River.
Birding & Wildlife: If you have come looking for the call of the wild, then you come to the right place. With vast acres of undeveloped lands and protected wildlife sanctuaries, our natural areas support an unbelievable abundance of wildlife with verified counts of over 300 species of migratory and nesting birds; 52 species of mammals such as the West Indian manatee and Florida black bear; 40 species of amphibians, and 65 species of reptiles.
Windsurfing: Shell Point is also great place for windsurfing and hosts several Regattas each year.
Restaurants: For those who enjoy great seafood, Angelo's in Panacea (20 minutes away) is one of the finest renowned seafood restaurants anywhere - located right on the water. Nearby Spring Creek Restaurant (less than 10 minutes away) also boasts delicious seafood, including soft shell crab, along with a casual down-home atmosphere. Mad Anthony's Waterfront Grille located on Dickerson Bay at the Rock Landing Marina in Panacea, FL offers some unique seafood dishes, craft beers, with tiki bar dining by the bay. Riverside Café in St. Marks and Ouzts Too in Newport have great food and often have weekend live entertainment. There are many other wonderful restaurants in our area. If you decide to rent with us, we will send you a list of all of the nearby restaurants, along with our personal rating on each one.
Wakulla Springs (10 miles away): Wakulla Springs State Park, one of the largest fresh water springs in the world, is only 10 minutes away. Wakulla Springs was the site for filming the early Tarzan movies, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Airport 77. From the river boat and glass bottom boat tours, you can see alligators, many species of water fowl, fish, turtles, snakes, and deer, in and among the crystal clear waters emerging from the depth of the springs. They also have a swimming area, with a diving platform. Kids love it and you will, too. The water stays the same temperature all year round. It's very refreshing in the heat of the summertime.
Lighthouses & St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge: The St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge (15 minutes away), which features the St. Marks Lighthouse, offers a habitat for all kinds of Florida wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles. There are 3 other lighthouses along our Forgotten Coast --- Crooked River Lighthouse in Carrabelle, St. George Island Lighthouse on St. George Island and Cape San Blas Lighthouse in Port St. Joe.
Beaches: For the beach enthusiast, nearby beaches include St. Joseph's Peninsula State Park and St. George's Island, which are regularly voted into the top ten beaches in the world (an hour to an hour and a half drive). Shell Point Beach is about a block and a half from Pirate Point. It is a very, very small beach located on the bay, which means that the only waves that you will see will be on a very windy day. It doesn't compare to the other two beaches mentioned earlier, but it is very convenient and a great place to kick back and enjoy the abundant wildlife in and surrounding the bay, along with breathtaking sunsets. Other nearby beaches include Mashes Sands Beach (which has a fishing pier), Alligator Point Beach (25 miles) and Carrabelle Beach (40 miles).
Gulf Specimen Marine Lab: For a close-up, hands-on examination of marine life, check out Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea, which is 20 minutes away.
Tallahassee Museum: The Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science is about 30 minutes away, and offers a look at Florida's wildlife in a natural setting.
Maclay Gardens: Maclay Gardens is located on Thomasville Road in Tallahassee (40 miles away). A masterpiece of floral architecture, the gardens feature a picturesque brick walkway, a secret garden, a reflection pool, a walled garden and hundreds of camellias and azaleas.
Tallahassee & Shopping: Only 30 minutes from Shell Point, Tallahassee has all of the conveniences of a big city – malls restaurants, museums, parks, airport – and is well known for being the home of Florida State University (FSU) and Florida A&M University (FAMU). Other, more unique shopping can be found at Apalachicola, which is about an hour drive.
*** Sorry, we do not rent to anyone under that age of 25 ***
My name is Deborah Word. My husband, Jerry, and I started visiting Shell Point in 1998. It didn't take long for us to fall in love with the Shell Point area. Since then, we purchased two canal front vacation rental homes in Paradise Village of Shell Point, with high hopes for future retirement there. We love fishing and photography, so Wakulla County is perfect for us. Several years later, I started handling vacation rental reservations for a few other property owners in the surrounding area. I currently manage five rentals in Shell Point, two in Ochlockonee Bay (Panacea) and one in Alligator Point.
We have stayed at Pirate Point many times. Love this place. (Review shared from Guest Reviews on "Deb's Forgotten Coast Rentals" Facebook page)
Our stay at Pirate Point was abreath of fresh air in a totally new fishing spot. The atmosphere was perfect and our charter tour guide picked us up right fomr the dock. It's the perfect spot for a family with all of the amenities. We plan on visiting again soon. Thank you
Our pet friendly stay was great! Our kayaks were easily launched from the dock and the backyard overlooking the bay provided wonderful peace. Lots of photography opportunites with the wildlife. Dolphins and pelicans were everywhere. There was one crotchety man up the street when we were walking our dogs who seemed to think we didn't clean up after them(which of course we did). Aside from him the trip was unmarred! Easy access to either St Marks for seafood or Panacea. Everyone else in the neighborhood seemed friendly aside from Mr Grumpy.
We have been coming to Shell Point for over 30 years. Pirate Point is our favorite place to stay. It is so ideally located with easy access to the flats, and St. Marks, Panacea, and other coast towns. As the name indicates, the property is located on a point and has a beautiful view of the open Gulf as well as the Live Oak Island area. Always clean and well taken care of. Soooo peaceful and relaxing!! Whether we bring the grand kids our just visit ourselves it is always a great trip. Deb has always been so helpful and really has been great to work with. Our last visit was in June of 2015 and we hope for many more in the future.
Randy just happened by to make sure everything was ok.What a view the sun coming up and everyone was comfortable.
This is my third time to rent Pirate Point. This was our longest stay,six weeks. We plan to return in 2015. The owners are always very helpful and solve any problems immediately. If you love being on the gulf coast, this is the place to be.
we have stayed at pirates point 5 times in the last three years and the last was as good as the first it is very clean and well cared for and has evetything you need the screened porch is great for morning coffee and sunsises also for watching the dolphins feed it is very nice to have a dock and not have to put your boat in and out fishing is great the agent (deb) is very easy to work with and will do whatever is needed to make your stay enjoyable we say that this is our home away from home and our little yorkie also loves it we will return many more times
Shell Point is a small, quiet community located in Wakulla County, one of Florida's best-kept secrets and part of Florida's forgotten coast. Besides offering the best flats fishing anywhere, it's ideal for sightseeing and photography. It is located between St. Marks and Panacea, and is only 30 miles south of Tallahassee (Florida's capital). Tallahassee has all of the conveniences of a big city - malls, restaurants, museums, parks, airport - and is well known for being the home of Florida State University (FSU) and Florida A&M University (FAMU). If you are
interested in fishing (trout, Spanish mackerel, redfish, tarpon, cobia, flounder, grouper, black bass ... it's saltwater fishing, so the list goes on), boating, or ... if you just want to escape to a relaxing, laid back paradise; yet, be able to venture into the city on a whim, this is the perfect location for you.
Other Activities: Swimming, bird watching, river boat tours
Golf: Wildwood Country Club is a beautiful public golf course located on Hwy. 98 in Medart (less than 10 minute drive). Telephone 850-926-4653.

TODD — For the sixth time, runners from all parts of the United States will travel to Todd for the annual New River Marathon on May 7.
"From the conception, we wanted the runners and their families to have a great experience, to experience the beauty of our New River Valley, Ashe County and North Carolina's High Country, and to enjoy a taste of mountain hospitality," said race director Ken Sevensky.
According to Sevensky, about 900 runners take part in the New River Marathon each year.
Runners have a choice to compete in four different events: A full marathon, half marathon, 5K and a one-mile fun run. All races will be held on Saturday morning except for the fun run which will take place during the pre-race dinner on Friday evening.
Since the New River Marathon is certified by USA Track and Field, it serves as a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon.
For the most part, the 2016 races will follow the same roads, but there are some changes being put in place to improve runner safety.
At the finish line, bluegrass band Amantha Mill will be performing and awards will be handed out to age group winners.
Runners will be treated to some of the best scenery around, one of the reasons the race continues to be one of the most popular events in the area.
"We know that we live in a truly special place and it's fun to share the beauty of the place we call home with other runners. We know and appreciate that the New River between Todd and Fleetwood is one of the most spectacular venues," said Sevensky. "It's always a thrill to see the runners' appreciation and to hear their comments about the beauty of the North Carolina mountains and this New River Valley."
For more information on the New River Marathon, visit their website at www.newrivermarathon.com or call Ken Sevensky at 336-877-8888.

a drop into eternity
for bea
She speaks of God likes she knows
That one exists.
She speaks of love – true love like
She's sure
That there's a heart for every bloody beat.
She speaks of me and her,
In some time addled capsule,
Encased between our death and our days
With bruised lips, open wounds, and
Sirens, calling us home but to her
I am not a speck of stardust.
I throttle the universe into submission
In order to please her, and touch her face
When she weeps and the sun drops
As my eyes dim and there's no resolve,
Only anger
And I bring the whole damn world down
To keep her adrift, floating
Through the cosmos
While I'm here on Earth,

Akihito, accompanied by Empress Michiko, offered prayers and flowers at several memorials around the rugged northern side of this sun-drenched island, honoring not only the Japanese who died but also American soldiers, local islanders and Koreans forced to fight for Japan.
It was the first trip by a Japanese monarch to a World War II battlefield abroad, though Akihito has paid tribute at similar memorials in Japan, and comes amid rising anger in Asia over the way Japan has handled its militarist past.
The fierce offensive by American troops on Saipan marked the beginning of the end for Japan's war machine in the Pacific. Figures vary, but as many as 55,000 Japanese died in the three-week "Operation Forager," which began on June 15, 1944.
More than 5,000 Americans were killed, about half of them Marines, along with about 1,000 islanders.
Akihito, in a dramatic gesture, offered prayers Tuesday at "Banzai Cliff," which owes its name to the shouts of "banzai" — a cheer wishing long life to the emperor — by Japanese who plunged to their deaths rather than face capture by the American troops.
The royal couple later visited monuments to the American troops.
In a surprise stop, he also paid his respects at the Korean war dead memorial. A small minority of Koreans living here threatened to stage protests because the imperial couple was not initially scheduled to pay their respects at the memorial.
A senior palace official said the visit had been approved days before the emperor left Japan, but had been kept secret from the media until the last minute because of concerns it might be "compromised."
The royal visit comes amid growing anger in China and the Koreas over what many there see as Japan's failure to make amends for its brutal past. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has also stirred up emotions with his repeated visits to a war shrine in Tokyo that is a powerful symbol of Japan's pre-1945 militarism.
Akihito, 11 years old when the war ended, has been to China and has expressed remorse for the past during visits to Japan by South Korean leaders. But he has never made a trip to offer condolences at a battlefield overseas.
"This time on soil beyond our shores, we will once again mourn and pay tribute to all those who lost their lives in the war and we will remember the difficult path the bereaved families had to follow," he said in a statement before his arrival for the two-day trip.
The royal couple was to leave Saipan Tuesday evening.
Saipan has become a popular destination for Japanese tourists, honeymooners and golfers, and the royal couple received a warm welcome.
Today, about 50,000 people live on Saipan, the capital of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory. The island is about 1,400 miles southeast of Tokyo.
The invasion of Saipan has been called the D-Day of the Pacific.
Its fall allowed American B-29 bombers to pound Japan's cities, and the neighboring island of Tinian was used as the launch point for the planes carrying the atomic weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August, 1945.
Akihito's father, the late Emperor Hirohito, announced Japan's defeat on Aug. 15 that year.

If you're interested in learning more about how to use get_template_part() in your themes and why you might want to, designer and developer, Terry Sutton, has a great post up called Tighter and leaner WordPress templates with get_template_part(). It's well worth a read. (And not just because he mentions _s though that's pretty cool too.)

WordPress Query Comprehensive Reference
There are a couple of spots that I always keep handy when looking for information about WordPress' query handling. Consider this Gist an addition to my list:
WordPress Query Comprehensive Reference
Which helpful, recent resources do you use for information about WordPress' query? I prefer to hit the Codex (WP_Query and query_posts) and also just dig directly into
Internationalization: You're Probably Doing It Wrong
Fun fact of the day: about 37% of WordPress downloads are for non-English, localized versions.
So as a plugin or theme author, you should be thinking of localization and internationalization (L10N and I18N) as pretty much a fact of life by this point.
An excellent post from Otto on improvements to make and pitfalls to look out for when performing i18n on your WordPress theme.
Getting Started With the _s Theme
There are some simple instructions in the theme
readme.txt on how to get started with our new starter theme, _s, but, to be honest, I'm not exactly the most reliable readme reader myself so here are those instructions with a bit more explanation. 🙂
The first thing you want to do is copy the
_s directory and change the name to something else. Like, say, megatherium.
Then you'll need to do a three-step find and replace with your favorite text editor on the _s name in all the templates.
On Breaking and Fixing WordPress Themes at WordCamp Singapore 2011
My coworkers at Automattic and I frequently discuss the speed with which we're able to onboard new themes into the WordPress.com theme directory.
Our top priority as the Theme Team is to make sure that all of our users feel like they have a theme that fits them perfectly; in order to meet that goal we're focused on bringing a variety of themes into WordPress.com through a few primary channels: the WordPress.org theme directory; premium theme shops; and Automattic (in-house) themes.
It's often the case that each conversion—that is, making a theme's code WordPress.com-safe and ready—will take us anywhere between one week and one month, depending on the complexity and quality of the code. In a perfect world, though, we'd be able to snap our fingers and have every single awesome-looking theme available on WP.com right now.

Using Media Queries to Make a Clean Break from Legacy Browsers

Twitter Bootstrap and WordPress Theme Frameworks
If you haven't yet you should make some time to read Building Twitter Bootstrap at A List Apart. Especially if you're interested in building a WordPress Theme Framework or WordPress Starter Theme.
Twitter Bootstrap is essentially a collection of HTML-CSS templates and some Javascript put together to "help designers and developers quickly and efficiently build awesome stuff online." It sounds an awful lot like a lot of WordPress Theme Frameworks and Starter Themes, right? It looks like one too.

What Do You Really Need in a WordPress Starter Theme?
I think it's safe to say that I'm somewhat obsessed with themes that help you get your WordPress projects started quickly. Most likely because I've been there, staring at an empty project folder wondering where I should begin. Well, you shouldn't have to stare at that empty folder for any project. Even when you're starting from scratch you're probably not really starting from scratch, right? You're taking an existing WordPress theme, either your own or someone elses, and hacking at it until it's something new. That theme is your Starter Theme.
But not all Starter Themes are created equal. If you're using the same theme again and again and always adding the same code to it, well, shouldn't that code always be in there in the first place? Or how about the reverse? If you're always cleaning out the same code from your theme is that really a great starter theme? Should it have sample theme options? Or a CSS reset? Basic styles? How much style? A grid system? … The questions could go on for a while.
So, what are you using for your Starter Theme? And what do you think you really need in a WordPress Starter Theme?
The WordPress Theme Lock-In Effect
Konstantin Kovshenin has a great post on one of my pet peeves. The lock-in effect. The rub? When you go to switch themes you find that your content is tied into the theme (or plugin) you've been using. Not good.
WordPress has been known for its backwards compatibility for ages. In fact, you'll not loose your content when you downgrade (provided that you're using the core features only,) plus WordPress provides several export options that can easily be read by other software and services. WordPress gives you control over your data so you're never locked in to using WordPress itself. WordPress does not lock you in.
Plugins and themes are somewhat different though, mainly because developers are overlooking the WordPress API and a bunch of features which already ship with WordPress, and tend to reinvent the wheel. Another situation is where plugins or themes introduce some brand new features unavailable in WordPress so they store your data in a unique way which is not what other themes and plugins can understand. If not treated well, the lock in effect can cause loss or corruption of your data …
My WordPress and Web Design Feed Short List
I recently started subscribing to RSS feeds again after having given them up totally for several months. I was relying on the cream to rise to the top in Twitter and a handful of sites that I would visit every day or week. And now, after declaring feed bankruptcy, I'm back at it again (switching to Reeder as my feed reader was a big part of that decision). I have pared things down though. Here's my must-follow short list of WordPress and Web Design sources that I'm following right now. These sources let me keep on top of what's going on in WordPress and Web Design.

Reverse drive will not engage
Article #542343
- Not allowing enough time between shifts
- To engage reverse, bring the truck to a complete stop and push the shift button up. Allow at least 1 second (count "one thousand and one") and then apply throttle.
- Engine idle speed set too high
- Lower the engine's idle speed. If the idle speed is set too high, the truck won't shift into reverse.
- The transmission is loaded
- If the truck is stuck on a hill or wedged against an object, there may be too much load on the transmission to allow it to shift between forward and reverse. Free the truck and then test for normal operation.
- Forward/reverse trim adjustment
- The shift servo is set at the factory and should not require adjustment. If you have removed or replaced the shift servo, however, you may have to make trim adjustments.
- Binding shift fork-shaft
- Stop the truck and try shifting from forward to reverse and vise versa.
- Damage to transmission internals
- If the servo engages reverse drive but the truck does not move in reverse, remove and disassemble the transmission to find the damaged gear(s).

text: I had a popping noise whenever I went around a turn and replaced everything in the front end just to find out, that was not it. I took my ZR2 Blazer to the local Chevy Stealership and they told me its the body mount bushings. They were going to charge me around $800 just for the new rubber bushings alone, without installation!\nThe Poly bushing kit is much better quality at a fraction of the price, and a true direct fit replacement, no fabbing required. It fixed my problem, no more popping noise, and the overall ride quality feels better now too.\nAwesome product, You cant often say something is Cheaper and Better than stock!\n 5 out of 5 - Very Good David Becker - September 14, 2014.

Leadership Ethics Online is concerned with American leadership values. We proceed to address these within a nonsectarian theistic framework. We really do believe there is a God, that God is moral and demands moral values, thinking, speaking and behaviors.
However, because we are more concerned with moral leadership, and leadership ethics which produce moral organizations–with morality succinctly defined as united effort for the Common Good, harming no person in the organization, society, or world–we are united with anyone, theistic or not, who shares our principal concern: our nation and world are being destroyed by immoral unethical leaders and followers driven by private goals and self-interest.
There is no doubt that the United States is suffering a meltdown in leadership values and practices. From recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, such as Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (where the Court ruled corporations are "people" and campaign finance money is "speech" protected by the First Amendment), there are repeated, persistent events pointing to a moral vacuum and moral lostness among U.S. leaders in government and corporations.
The U.S. Constitution's Prologue sets forth the legal purpose of this nation. Though many persons never have considered this, each clause is a different legal purpose built on the Golden Rule; that is, the Common Good.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Mutual respect, if not love, for the American fellow citizen and neighbor, are contained in this short but expansive series of legal purposes. They all are moral purposes, framed in a national constitution, which presuppose strict legal and regulatory laws aimed for the Common Good, which includes both The People and organizations–like corporations–subservient to the U.S. Constitution.
Democracy Based in Theism
Let us return to our American Constitution. Most of the Founders were Christians of some kind, with men like Thomas Jefferson being Deists. When they wrote that Prologue above, the Common Good was expressed, though not in religious sectarian terms. Democracy earlier had been expressed by Jefferson and Madison in the Declaration of Independence's opening, as a theological premise:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
"All men," the term then used to describe all human beings, "are created equal…endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…." Of course, the entire history of the United States is an illustration of the often-violent struggle between this ideal of human equality, with the reality of human (often overtly "Christian") drives for political hegemony, wealth, and power. Women were not given the vote until 1920, against the opposition of Christian (and other) American men. However, it was the resistance of united women (and a few men) that enabled that principle of inclusion to achieve victory.
Secular Democracy
General Religious Principles have been pushed to the sidelines today in public discourse. If one were to quote any religious text's moral principle, such as "You shall not lie"–not as religious proof-texting but as an ancient and time-honored principle, some people would be outraged. Yet if one were to quote the filthiest, vilest statement from an intellectual, a sports figure, a music performer, etc., then "freedom of speech" would render the citation all good and proper. Do you understand what is being addressed here?
Christian fundamentalist haters aside–and there are plenty of those–there are many who resist, oppose, and mock any citation of religious values in the public forum. In our opinion, the Common Good can benefit from the very best in selected religious values, and give support to what Jean-Jacques Rousseau called the "social contract." The social-ungluing, the moral-ungluing of the United States, and other nations, is partly related to an over-reaction against the worst forms of religion by throwing out the socially-cohesive, best elements in religion.
There are surely some very healthy forms of secularism, which uphold the Common Good. Yet there also are profound problems with secular atheism, which is just as susceptible to drivers for human selfishness, egocentrism, hedonism, and moral relativism. Moral relativism "sounds good" to people who want to assure complete freedom for everyone to live out their values. That sounds quite democratic.
Nevertheless, when secularism, in various expressions of atheistic materialism, takes the position "the survival of the fittest" or the "rightful success of the most cunning over both weak and strong with fewer wits," Jungle Law of the Individual, or Jungle Law of the Gang–even expressed in U.S. Supreme Court rulings on behalf of powerful corporations–then what we have today in the United States, and other nations, is a predictable result.
We despise Inquisitions, witch-hunts, and hate campaigns. Yet, is there anything to fear in reflections on religious ethical principles such as "Love your neighbor" and "Defend the widow and orphan"? There are some people today whose pure materialism would say, "If the poor are not contributing, then let them die." We despise that too.
Social Darwinism is a problem today, though not many discuss it in the public forum. Human beings are considered merely as one species of animal among all others. Some are strong, and will overcome weaker persons. Some are intellectually brilliant, and capable of manipulating or controlling mentally slower persons with their cunning. This idea is not unfamiliar to readers. We hear it echoed–without citing Social Darwinism–among many Americans who speak of the "just due of the Producers" and the "self-earned condition of the Non-Producers." Though America has not yet descended to the Nazi regime, Social Darwinism was a foundation stone for the systematic removal, suppression, enslavement, and final destruction of "inferior races." There is a parallel.
To uphold our Constitution's Common Good, and to cite a Universal Love for all persons, we hold to be absolutely superior to Social Darwinism. What we do here is to address every American leader who understands what we have said above, and who seeks to benefit from a restoration of the Common Good, and a Universal Love, for all Americans and–also unpopular today–all people in the world.
We ask YOU, leader, to look within; to examine yourself; and to consider the BEST you can do with your authority. If you believe in God, add this: "What does God expect from you?" If you are a secularist, we ask you this: "Is there anything wrong in learning principles proven true when they were obeyed?"
While Leadership Ethics Online speaks within a theistic context, we address any who share our concerns for a world consumed in amoral, immoral, unethical values and acts arising from atheism, mechanistic materialism, human egocentrism and hedonism, which lead some human beings to believe themselves "more valuable than others."
We want to unite with you, theistic or not, if you are as concerned about the cancer of moral relativism as we are. Yes, we understand the "subjective construction of knowledge and the subjective nature of ethics" (before and after Immanuel Kant). However, we do not believe that ethics are so subjective that one can put a knife in another human being, "because this is my ethics…Jungle Law…the Strong over the Weak." Sorry. We believe there is truth, truth has consequences, and that even biology itself teaches Love and Interdependence……
Invest in Healthy Leadership Ethics
There are thousands of corporate entities teaching ethics in business, ethics linked to legal compliance (aimed for risk management), and performance-profit benefits of educating and training an entire corporate culture in ethical values.
Most of these ethics-packages are designed to capture particular market segments; to meet the core needs of clients; and also, to ensure clients are pleased for repeat business. However, based on a comprehensive overview of these client-driven packages, and monitoring the field of ethics education, many of these offerings do not touch, let alone penetrate, into the deepest areas of organizational issues: the ethical values and practices of leaders themselves.
In biology and medicine, we all understand analogies of systemic disease, as well as specific areas of injury and infection. Just as human beings sometime recoil from effective treatment for health, this also is true in the case of leaders of organizations.
The question we pose to you as a leader of your organization is, "Will you invest in becoming a better person, a better member of your family, a better professional at work, a better member of American society, a better member of global society?" The evidence in the United States, and other nations, points to a generally negative answer to that question. We hope your answer will be positive; that you will risk health-for-growth; and that you will join us in the ever-diminishing circle of Outstanding Ethical Leaders.
John D. Willis, PhD, President

Higher forces at work.
Bethanne awoke five minutes earlier than usual to start breakfast for the kids. The sun had yet to crest the hills to the east, but the sky was pink with its imminent arrival. The spring air still had a chill to it, so Bethanne pulled the belt of her robe tightly closed at her waist and kicked her feet into her old, ratty slippers before she made her way across the hardwood floor plan, to the kitchen. There, she pulled aside the curtains of the french doors which opened to a small deck on the side of the house, just big enough for the grill and a small table. She whistled a merry tune as she pulled the carton of eggs from the fridge and planned the breakfast menu in her head, hearing the hot water climb the pipes to the master shower in the bedroom as her husband Paul prepared his day. There were a ton of eggs, so she quickly threw them into a batter she had been mixing; the kids weren't going to school today with just cereal in their bellies, damn it, today was going to be a pancake sort of day!
The two younger kids had rooms downstairs, and were therefore much easier to reach in order to wake. Donovan, nine, slept like the dead but sprinted enthusiastically into the "Public" shower in the downstairs bath once he chose to stumble out of bed. Ruby, the six-year-old, took much longer to get going, silently padding out to the kitchen table in her nightshirt and clutching Teddy in one armpit as she climbed the chair by the phone. Her hair was an amber disaster but she seemed oblivious, concerned only with silently rubbing her eyes awake.
Paul strolled into the kitchen a few minutes later, mostly dressed but still glistening from his shower. He draped his jacket and tie over the back of his chair and tousled Ruby's hair, "Good morning, kiddo. How'd ya sleep?"
His daughter responded with only a nod and a yawn.
Paul adjusted his cufflinks and made his way around the kitchen island to give his wife a peck on the cheek, "Mmm, pancakes! What's the occasion?"
"Tons of eggs to use before they go bad."
Paul nodded and smiled, "Awesome."
"And there's an eight-egg scrambled in that pan over there," Bethanne nodded toward the back burner, where a large twelve-inch pan simmered beneath its lid.
"Mmm, my arteries love you. The only thing missing is bacon."
"Not until that new job of yours comes through with the life insurance. Once that kicks in, you can have all the bacon you want, plus lard, corn syrup, whatever."
Paul took a healthy scoop of scrambled eggs and plopped them on a plate for Ruby, then snagged a couple of pancakes, too.
"Hey, can you go upstairs and wake the other kid?"
Paul got some egg on one of his fingers and he sucked it clean, "What other kid?"
Bethanne smiled,"Cyan."
"We have three kids? Really?"
"That's what it says on our W-2's."
"Huh. I guess that explains why I'm always broke."
Donovan careened down the hall and into the kitchen, excitedly giving his dad a high five on the way by, before addressing his mother, "What's for breakfast? It smells amazing!"
"Donovan, you're soaked! Did you even use a towel after your shower?"
"Sure I did."
Bethanne sighed, "Whatever. Sit. Eat."
Upstairs, Paul walked the carpeted floor to Cyan's closed door at the end of the hall. He stopped just outside her room and steadied himself. Of all his family members, his eldest daughter seemed to be having the most difficulty adjusting to the new house, the new town, a completely new environment. Unlike Donovan, who seemed oblivious to the move. So many problems. Paul brought a trembling hand to his mouth and wondered – not for the first time – if Cyan was having a nervous breakdown. He caught his hand and took a deep breath, then tapped softly on the door and peeked in, "Cyan, are you awake yet, Honey?"

Chapter Seven (Part 5)
I had to admit to myself, grudgingly, that Jensen hadn't been lying about at least one thing in his life. Melanie was indeed a great kid. After going absolutely chocolate-crazy in the kitchen, Melanie had taken me to her room where we'd had an enjoyable tea-party with Mr. Fuzzy the Teddy and Mrs. Sting the Bee. And then, while having a simple lunch that I'd cooked up of spaghetti and meatballs, Melanie and I had settled into the TV room to watch her favorite Barbie movie – The Princess and the Pauper (which even I found myself enjoying).
At one point, she'd even hugged me and said, "Don't hate me for saying this but I'm happy Lea's sick. You're really fun." Wow. Since when had I become likable with kids? The one time I'd babysat, it had been a total disaster. I guess somewhere along the witty dialogues I'd cooked up while talking to Mr. Fuzzy, and singing along to one of the songs I'd known in the movie, Melanie and I had bonded.
After putting her to bed for her nap, I'd closed the door and sauntered down the spiral staircase. I'd been really tempted to slide down the banister but I didn't want to take the risk…not yet.
Taking my phone out of my pocket, I crossed the hall and entered the living room. I snuggled up one of the couches after kicking off my shoes.
"Lea, Lea, Lea, where are art thou?" I flicked through my contact list before finally finding her under the title 'Ms. Insanity'. It rang two times before Jet picked up.
"Hey Roxanne, how's it going?"
"Pretty good actually. Melanie's fun and not at all spoiled like I'd imagined."
"Told you so," I heard Lea say, sounding smug.
"She's napping right now. So anyways, what are you two up to?"
"Watching a movie," they both said at the same time.
"You must be feeling better then," I said to Lea.
"Mhmm. I guess the meds are working."
"The doctor said you had to get some shut-eye too so you better turn off the television and have some rest," I commanded, sounding like a concerned sister for once.
"I'll make sure she does Roxanne, don't worry," Jet replied. "There's something Lea wants to ask you though."
"Oh great, not another question," I groaned.

Southsidedaily.com is your source for free local news and information in Virginia Beach
The ViBe Creative District hasn't been around for long, but it has already made a name for itself in Virginia Beach.
During an event held at a coworking space on Baltic Avenue Wednesday, executive director Kate Pittman presented what the ViBe Creative District is, and how it's breathing new life into Virginia Beach.
"The ViBe district is a small, funky footprint made up of local businesses, from artisans and leather smiths to sign makers and culinary artists, many of whom grow their own vegetables," she said. "As of now, there are about 50 creative businesses involved."
These businesses, which make up the first facet of the district, pay a small membership fee that is used to fund the district's advancement.
"Collectively, the businesses have a much larger voice when working together," Pittman said. "The footprint we can make is so much bigger than ourselves."
The second facet of the district is a nonprofit organization, called ViBe District Virginia Beach, which was created to support the area's development. The nonprofit was founded in November 2015 by Andrew Fine, president of The Runnymede Corporation, and Laura Wood Habr, co-owner of Croc's 19th Street Bistro.
Another Creative District leader Kevin Jamison, the president of ViBe and owner of Commune restaurant, shared what he's most excited about as ViBe reaches its full potential.
"We have more than 50 businesses in our association that support each other and who saw the potential in this area," he said. "Now that we're established, we are looking at bringing other talent into the district and I can't wait to see how the community will change and develop. This was something that was missing from Virginia Beach."
Aside from its businesses owners, one thing that makes the district distinct is the lack of any large commercial entities in its territory between 17th and 22nd street.
"We are trying to keep out the large retail giants to keep the area unique and for the small, local business owners." Pittman said.
According to Pittman, the lack of large retail giants has helped the district stand out as its own neighborhood.
"When you come walking up to the district after spending time on the beach by the big commercial businesses, it lends to a sense of discovery," she said. "That's part of the beauty of ViBe and we hope that catches people's attention."
Raymond White, a Virginia Beach business development manager, agreed with Pittman and explained how the ViBe Creative District will impact winter tourism.
"We are trying to make the Virginia Beach a place that can be experienced 365 days a year by tourists and locals," he said. "The ViBe district is the perfect setting for a live, work, play community. We are building a place where you can live right down the street, ride your bike to work, and go see a show at one of the venues at night, all without getting in your car."
Despite the area's positive growth, there are some obstacles that the district is working to overcome, particularly the high traffic the Oceanfront experiences in the summer months.
"Traffic between Town Center and Oceanfront is huge, and we are in the middle of it," said Pittman. "This makes parking in the district is difficult. It's free, but in short supply."
Another issue: infrastructure. However, the Virginia Beach city council recently approved the contribution of $4 million in funds to fix infrastructure problems in the district.
"Improved sidewalks and lighting are things we will be working on between now and 2018," Pittman said. "It's common for arts districts to move into areas that are undesirable real estate, and make the area more desirable again."
The potential for an Oceanfront arena could help foster the growth and increase traffic to the ViBe district, according to Pittman.
"Regardless of where people are on the arena — good or bad — at least there's progress" said Pittman. "It's an exciting time for the whole resort area. And support for those larger entities will help support the arts district in turn."

Vicar exorcises self, dies
On Tuesday, an unfortunate exorcism resulted in the death of East Wallingford's resident exorcist and demon-killer, Fr. Beals E. Bubb, Vicar of St. Lucifer's Church for the Fallen. Fr. Bubb was fifty-one at the time of death.
Fr. Bubb was famous all over East Wallingford for his powerful exorcisms and conversion pamphlets. He was most known for his exorcism of little Emily Rose resulting in merely three fatalities and one completely repentant demon. Fr. Bubbs technique was unique in the fact that he would first threaten the demon or other satanic power with candy and then entice them into a life of church servitude as parishioners of St. Lucifer's.
Sadly enough, it was one of his parishioners that paid him back in kind.
On Sunday, eyewitnesses report that immediately after the powerful sermon that Fr. Bubb delivered about cleaning prison toilets, one of his regular parishioners, a spirit known merely as Shizzle M. Nizzle, sprang onto the lectern and possessed Fr. Bubb. Fr. Bubb immediately went into convulsions, foaming and other standard possessed behaviour. The eyewitnesses also state that strangely enough the vicar took precisely that moment to reveal what he had eaten for breakfast, though some think that might have been involuntary. It was however interpreted as a cry for help which the parishioners couldn't respond to as they were held by a chain-linked fence on their pews, a precaution that Fr. Bubb had added to improve the decorative ability of St. Lucifer's.
An eyewitness, a goat-demon called Baaadass told us that for two whole days Fr. Bubb grappled with the spirit. It was so horrifying that some of the demons had to eat popcorn and Coke to keep their eyes on the gruesome spectacle unfolding in front of them.
At around this time, Fr. Bubb got back enough motor control to try to exorcise himself by dunking his head in the baptismal pool near the altar. As another eyewitness, a gay spirit called Anton stated, "It must have been a wordless exorcism on account of the father never said things like 'In Nominae Partridge' or 'Gay-men' or any other standard exorcism jargon. He just burbled." Some insouciant spirits claimed that it might have been less an exorcism and more a suicide attempt, but the Church has shot down these claims stating that Fr. Bubb was a devout Presleyan and would never had thought of committing suicide while working in the name of the King. Tassel Graceland, PR head for the Church of the Second Coming of Presley, otherwise known as the Presleyans had this to say, "I just have this to say, it's a real sordid affair, the King wouldn't have liked it all, it causes me and all the demons at St. Lucifer's a lotta Heartbreak Hotel, thank you, thank you very much, thank you."
The morally-challenged [News-flash: you could get sued for saying 'evil'] spirits at St. Lucifer's only had good things to say about Fr. Bubb. "He was like the warden in the Shawshank Redemption. I'm glad he's dead. We're gonna miss him, but I hope that he's with Dad now. Gay-men to that." Were a few of the comments received by this reporter.
Fr. Bubb will be interred at at Shady Graves Funeral Home for the Dead tomorrow at 5 pm in the evening.
Applications for the post of town exorcist have now been invited. Those interested may apply to the Papal Emissary for Exorcism (PEE) near Jed's All-Nite Nick-Nacks And Liquor on Parmesan Street.

Does anyone actually do that? I'd like to hear from anyone that does. I'd like to know how this works.
I'd appreciate your comments.

This book is the magnum opus of a man described as having "a fair claim to be the greatest living writer on film". Ranging from D.W.Griffith's The Clansman (1905) to Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012), Thomson's "story of movies and what they did to us" is constantly stimulating and often revelatory.
Though his celluloid journey detours to Russia for Eisenstein and Italy for De Sica's Bicycle Thief (which he regards as over-praised), the heart of this book is in Hollywood and "the famous era of panchromatic black and white…the medium for Fred and Ginger, von Sternberg and Dietrich." Thomson derides Casablanca as "fake, foolish and fanciful beyond belief" but The Third Man keeps its place in the pantheon. "There isn't another British film that captures the post-war European mood so well."
Surveying the Sixties "movie brats", Thomson explains why Robert Altman spoke for a generation. "The Long Goodbye, where looking and hearing are muddled, may get us closer to our uncertain experience of life than the emphatic precision of the golden age" (though he might have added that its logic-free narrative has not improved with keeping). The most astonishing film of the era, Coppola's Apocalypse Now, which adopted a similar approach, is merely described as "confused", though esteemed for its "breathtaking sequences".
After praising Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010) for "introducing marvels we had not seen before", Thomson scoffs at the film that dominated the Oscars in that year. The King's Speech is "a pleasant picture about an ordinary king dealing with a small personal problem."
Despite Thomson's prodigious scope, comedy seems to be a blind spot. Ealing Comedies are dismissed in a page, while the sole mention for the Coen Brothers concerns No Country For Old Men, scarcely the most amusing work in their oeuvre. Oddly, Thomson says that Woody Allen's slight but engaging Radio Days "may be his finest work". Though he sometimes seems to be relying on old memories of movies, the scale, energy and approachability of his epic study are splendidly in keeping with the medium it describes.Reuse content
