Bodegas Valdemar Inspiracion Valdemar Seleccion 2007
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
It has a bright red cherry color with violet glints. On the nose, it displays complex and ripe blackberry aromas, combined with subtle spicy notes. Fleshy, tasty and meaty on its passage through the mouth, displaying balsamic notes. It reveals a rounded and long aftertaste.
It is a great match with stewed and grilled meat, as well as with dry and semi-dry cheeses. Perfect for all kinds of Iberian and non-Iberian cold meats.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Inspiracion Valdemar is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano that was aged in French and American oak for 10 months. Dark ruby in color, it reveals an attractive nose of smoke, leather, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. In the mouth it has good volume and concentration, plenty of spicy fruit, good balance, and a medium-long finish."
Bodegas Valdemar Winery
The Martinez Bujanda family, producers of Valdemar wines, founded their original winery in 1889. They own 820 acres of vineyards, which makes Valdemar one of the largest estates in the Rioja. A new winery was built in 1984 to take advantage of modern technologies, integrating both new and time-honored traditions of winemaking. View all Bodegas Valdemar Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

I'm often not a fan of tempranillo and/or grenache, but this blend works very well. Rich and complex, a little rough, with good complexity and long finish. Slightly acidic. Would not expect to age for too long. Not enough body. But who knows?

The genius of the Outback has always been its ability to straddle classifications; it helped create the crossover segment in the 1990s. As such, the Outback competes with family cars, SUVs and, of course, other crossover vehicles. With a base price just short of $25,000, the Outback should be affordable enough for families considering a new Camry or Accord. With better off-road credentials and a more usable luggage compartment, the Outback offers increased versatility over plain Jane family sedans. At the same time, the Subaru Outback offers the kind of fuel economy that most mid-sized SUVs struggle to match.
Compare the 2016 Subaru Outback against similar models
Following a complete redesign last year, the 2016 Subaru Outback returns with only a few changes. Among them, the windshield wipers now feature an auto on/off mode. Subaru's Starlink infotainment system has added capabilities like crash notification and stolen vehicle recovery assistance. Finally, the EyeSight safety system adds Lane Keep Assist, which activates above 40 mph, detects lane departure and seeks to correct it.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

Below are the available colors for the 2016 Subaru Outback. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The 2016 Subaru Outback is the perfect car for taking the family on a trip into the outback. Outback takes the middle road between rugged SUV and modern crossover. It's a distinctive choice for shoppers who aren't entirely happy with familiar SUVs or crossover models, but need more capability than a sedan might offer.
A full redesign for 2015 enhanced the Outback's family-focused nature. For 2016, there are few changes. Several new features have been added to the EyeSight active-safety system on 2016 Subaru Outback models.
Based on the Legacy sedan, with the same powertrain and trim-level choices, Outback offers abundant interior space, configurable to suit the user. Owners can also benefit from the convertible roof rack.
Two engines are available: a 175-horsepower four-cylinder comes on Outback 2.5i versions, while a 256-horsepower six-cylinder comes on Outback 3.6R versions. Both come with a CVT.
A rearview camera is standard in all models. Upper trim levels can have Subaru's EyeSight safety suite, upgraded for 2016, adding Lane Keep Assist. Above 40 mph, it can detect when the Outback is drifting out of its lane, then apply steering assist to nudge it back into place.
2016 Subaru Outback models are available with a new subscription-based Starlink Safety and Security system, with such services as emergency SOS and automatic collision notification. A Security Plus Package adds stolen-vehicle recovery and locator, and remote locking/unlocking.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates four-cylinder fuel economy at 25/33 mpg City/Highway. The 3.6R six-cylinder version is rated 20/27 mpg.
Outback 2.5i ($24,995) includes an infotainment system with 6.2-inch touch-screen. Outback 2.5i Premium ($27,395) adds fog lamps, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a 10-way power driver's seat, power lumbar support, leather-trimmed steering wheel, privacy glass, and heated mirrors.
Outback 2.5i Limited ($30,395) adds a 576-watt 12-speaker harman/kardon audio system including HD radio. Outback 3.6R Limited adds the six-cylinder engine. (All prices are MSRP and do not include the $795 destination charge. Dealer prices may vary.)
The Subaru Outback flaunts its ruggedly simple, outdoors-aimed design cues with lower-body cladding. Sitting higher up than the Legacy sedan on which it's based, Outback has an abundant 8.7 inches of ground clearance, more than some conventional SUVs.
Outback has a jaunty profile, if blunted in appearance.
Outback's grille is more upright than it used to be, prior to the 2015 redesign, with active shutters that can improve gas mileage.
Outback's interior feels relatively upscale, unlike Subaru models of yore. The driving position is carlike, higher up than in a sedan but not as tall as in most SUVs. So, getting in and out isn't a problem.
Front seats are comfortable. Limited models are upholstered in impressive-looking perforated leather. Models with heated seats have warmers for the seatback, as well as the cushion.
Trim elements feature slightly rounded edges, while the dashboard reaches out to the sides. Rear seats promise ample room even for three average-size adults, though legroom could be a bit better.
Though comfortable in most driving conditions, trudging down highly uneven trails can bring some discomfort to riders, because the car-based suspension does not allow as much wheel articulation as a taller, conventional SUV might.
Whether drifting down a dusty trail, twisting over mountain roads, or hurtling along an expressway, Outback is prepared to deliver a satisfying experience. An X-Mode lets the Outback become more adept along that trail, when that kind of driving is needed, while delivering greater response when on regular pavement. At 190 inches overall, the Outback is easier to park than a lot of rivals.
Acceleration performance doesn't match the Outback's other merits. With either engine, the Outback is sluggish when moving out from a stoplight. Even the six-cylinder (3.6R) engine lacks the torque from the turbocharged engine in Subaru's Forester XT. Subaru claims the 3.6R delivers 225 pound-feet of torque between 2000 and 6000 rpm, but acceleration isn't that much swifter than the four-cylinder version.
Subaru's continuously variable transmission feels almost like a regular 6-speed automatic transmission, though it works with pulleys and belts, not gears. Performance from its CVT beats that of many rivals, partly because even during leisurely acceleration, the ratios change quickly and subtly, without a hint of engine/transmission mismatch.
All-weather capability and trail driving are improved because Outback uses the Forester's Enhanced Active all-wheel drive system with X-Mode. Active torque vectoring provides control of each wheel when traction is an issue. X-Mode promises to reduce touchiness in the gas pedal, also altering the CVT's shift pattern.
Though the Outback wagon doesn't really look like an SUV, it handles a similar set of tasks, with greater gas mileage and more adept handling. The Outback is highly capable on gravel roads and on snow-covered roads. Occupants get a smooth ride, though acceleration performance isn't strong.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

One of the newest high schools in Utah is making a big splash.
Corner Canyon High School, a Class 4A school in Draper that is set to open its doors for the 2013-14 school year, announced a multitude of coaching hires Monday afternoon in a news release.
Perhaps none was more notable than Russ Boyer, who comes to Corner Canyon after a tremendous run with the 5A Brighton boys' soccer program.
Boyer's teams at Brighton have played for seven state championships and walked away triumphant twice in back-to-back years in 2008 and 2009 over the last 10 years.
Boyer was named the Utah coach of the year by the Utah High School Activities Association and also was named the Western Regional Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations in 2008.
Donald Eck, a former offensive lineman at the University of Utah under former Ute coach Ron McBride, was hired to lead the Corner Canyon football program. After coaching jobs with NFL Europe, Eck returned to Utah to coach at Weber State as an assistant head coach/offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Eck recently joined former Utah football coach Jim Fassel in the United Football League, where he was the offensive line coach for the Las Vegas Locomotives.
Krissa Reinbold was hired as coach of the Corner Canyon girls' soccer team. Reinbold, a former prep star in Folsom, Calif., still holds the California state record for most goals scored in a high school career with 137. Reinbold went on to star at BYU, where she was a two-time captain and a second-team All-American with the Cougars in 2003.
Former Bingham High star Charron Mason has been tabbed to lead the Corner Canyon girls' basketball program. The former Miner turned Miner assistant coach she'll serve as an assistant at Bingham through the end of the season graduated from Southern Utah University in 2002.
Tony Cannon, a popular name in the Alta High realm who has 24 years of coaching experience, has been named coach of the Corner Canyon boys' basketball program. Cannon has been an assistant coach with the Hawks where he previously was the coach for six years. Cannon's teams won two region championships and one state championship during that time.
Corner Canyon is scheduled to compete in Region 7, along with Mountain View, Murray, Olympus, Orem, Skyline and Timpanogos, during the 2013-14 season.
Another school also announced a coaching hire Monday. Westlake has hired former BYU quarterback Steve Clements to lead the Thunder football program. Clements replaces former coach Gary Clark, who was in charge of the Westlake program for just one season.
Clements spent four years as the coach at Lehi, where his teams went 33-12 during that four-year span. The Pioneers won the 3A state championship during his third year at the helm. Clements moved back to his home state of Texas in 2006 and began coaching at Haltom High and the next year moved to Dallas Hillcrest High. Clements currently teaches at Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, and provides private quarterback training in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex area.
"I've kind of got an affinity for both places," Clements said Monday evening. "I always knew I was probably going to get back to Utah, I just didn't know when."
Clements said when he left Utah to return to Texas he never thought he'd return in the capacity of being a head coach. He said his time at Lehi, while tremendously successful, was grueling because the amount of responsibility a football coach had to endure 10 years ago was "quite enormous."
He said he never lost the fire for coaching and looked back to the lessons he learned under former BYU coach LaVell Edwards and former BYU offensive wizard Norm Chow.
"As far as the coaching aspect, that never leaves you," he said. "Whether I'm 41 like I am now or 61 or 81 or back when I was 21, [coaching] gets in your blood and it stays. You don't forget how to coach or be a leader of young men."
Clements said he's tentatively scheduled to make the move back to the Beehive State in March 2013 but added he's going to make a trip a bit earlier to meet his players.
He'll be taking over a Westlake program that moves up from 4A to 5A in 2013. The Thunder finished 4-6 in 2012, but starting quarterback Gavin Williams will be a junior next year.
Asked what kind of style he expects to bring to the Thunder, Clements said he'll play to his team's strengths, whatever they may be.
"If you don't have the groceries to cook a steak, sometimes you have to make cereal," he said. "It depends on what's in the pantry. The cupboard is not bare, I do know that."

The case against Dennis Russell, former Bronson Youth League president, has been set for a pre-trial conference on Nov. 12.
Russell, who also a former chief of the Bronson Fire Department, is free on $75,000 bail while awaiting trial on charges of sexual battery on a child under 12 and sexual battery on a child between the age of 12 to 18.
Russell, who as a longtime football and baseball coach in the BYL, was relieved of his duties after his arrest in October 2007. He is also barred from being on city property where youth activities are being held.

LAKEWOOD - Two Lakewood residents have been missing since Saturday at Joshua Tree National Park, and a search is under way.
The two - Helen Melnyk, 56, and a friend, Tony Nosow, 59 - were planning to visit the park for a few hours Saturday.
The search for the pair did not get under way until Monday, when rangers combed the park's roads and had backup from a California Highway Patrol crew in a fixed-wing aircraft, according to Joshua Tree National Park spokesman Joe Zarki.
"At this point, we don't even know if they're in the park," he added.
Kristina Melnyk, daughter of the missing woman, reported the case at the Sheriff's Lakewood Station. The case, however, is being handled by San Bernardino sheriff's deputies, who are working with park rangers in the search, officials said.
The missing duo was last heard from at 10:42 a.m. Saturday, as they entered Joshua Tree National Park on an off-road trip.
"She was driving into the park when the call dropped," the daughter said. "This is the last time I spoke to my mom."
The pair had planned to be at the park for only a couple of hours, according to Kristina Melnyk. They had planned on returning to Nosow's house in Joshua Tree that afternoon.
They were in a 2011 Chevy Z71 pickup truck dark in color, either dark blue or dark gray, according to the daughter. The license number is 32248B1.
Helen Melnyk is about 5 feet 1, with short brown hair, blue eyes, weighs about 210 pounds, and has a tattoo on her lower back of red roses and green vines.
Nosow was described as about 5 feet 9, with brown or hazel eyes, a long white beard, and long hair down his back that he wears in a low ponytail.

AMES, Iowa — During National 4-H Week, Oct. 7-13, Iowa youth join hundreds of thousands of youth from throughout the United States who will be conducting an innovative experiment to celebrate 4-H National Youth Science Day.
"Many Iowa youth will be conducting the experiment on the 'official' science day, Wednesday, Oct. 10. Some youth already completed the experiment or will do it yet this week. Others will conduct the experiment later in October or in November, depending upon what works best for local schedules," said Shelly Greving, marketing director for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development.
The 2012 National Science Experiment, the 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge, explores how robots can be used to preserve and protect the environment, while offering a glimpse into the future of science, technology, engineering and math. Whether conducting the experiment in elementary and middle schools or county extension offices, during class or in after-school programs, Iowa youth will be enhancing their engineering skills by assembling their own Eco-Bots and surface controls to manage an environmental clean-up, Greving explained. Youth then will test the interaction between the Eco-Bot's design features and various surface control configurations to determine the most effective clean-up solution for the simulated spill.
Now entering its fifth year, 4-H National Youth Science Day seeks to spark an early youth interest and leadership in science. 4-H National Youth Science Day is part of 4-H's national One Million New Scientists effort, with a goal of attracting 1 million new youth to science, engineering and technology programs by the year 2013.
"4-H National Youth Science Day draws attention to science for one experiment," Greving said. "However, 4-H STEM programming provides Iowa youth with opportunities to take on science, technology, engineering and math challenges throughout the year. 4-H STEM programs help youth build skills and understand the impact of the top issues that face our state and our nation."
National Youth Science Day events in Iowa include the following:
Johnson County — Tuesday, Oct. 9, evening; demonstrations including 4-H robotics club, dog agility, aerospace (launching a model rocket), hands-on science activities
Poweshiek County — Tuesday, Oct. 9, and Wednesday, Oct. 10, 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.; Grinnell Middle School; activities include Eco-Bot challenge with all GMS sixth graders and Donaldson's employees

Advances in technology and the development of the Internet are changing the way people transfer money. With all these technological developments, moving money is simpler than before. Earlier, transferring money meant a visit to the bank. But that is no longer needed as there are various technologies in play to make money transfer easy and convenient.
Alternative Payment Services: Several websites allow you to transfer money through email, eliminating the need to reveal your bank account and credit card information online. Although online transfers have wide online security and fraud-prevention measures, they are not foolproof. Complaints like phishing scams, hacked accounts and identity theft are quite common.
Banks: Banks are financial institutions which have existed for a very long time, established and often the most reliable way to save, store and exchange monetary values-especially if it involves large amounts. However, banking can cause a lot of money, and efforts in order to have a successful transaction, not everyone can afford to maintain and make transactions in a bank. Due to the rise of many other forms of financial institutions and technological advances, the common people and large accounts have wished their banking transactions to change.
Digital wallet: With the high rise in crimes related to robberies and theft, many of us wonder how much convenience it would be to walk around having a good amount of money in our pockets. It is not a hidden fact that some criminals are so desperate in their acts that they will go through any means to acquire however little that they do have. For people who are often engaged in monetary transactions-such as but not limited to buying and selling-this has become a big problem.
Send money online: With the recent improvements that financial institutions are initiating to be able to make their services better and provide customers with a variety of options, an online wallet solves this problem. Having your own capacity to send money whenever and however as long as you are able to connect to the internet and the servers of your chosen financial institution gives you the power to transact in your own terms. Additionally, this will give you more freedom and time to make transactions especially when an immediacy in the need arises.

First, imagine if you will, the sleepy but mysterious village of Little Hangleton, and what happened at the Riddle House. No, the Riddle House is not a place for riddles, but a home where the family died of fright. The man accused of murdering them was eventually released, but when he returns to the Riddle House, he overhears a curious conversation between someone named Wormtail and a terrible, dark presence by the name of Lord Voldemort -- oh, so sorry…He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Volde... (oops, almost said it again) He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is one of the most powerful Dark wizards -- and he wants Harry Potter.
When Harry wakes from a particularly vivid dream, the scar on his forehead throbs, and he knows something is up. Harry's been living in a dreadful house on Privet Drive with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and greedy cousin, Dudley. They won't even let him do any wizardry -- you know Muggles, how they can't really handle that kind of stuff.
Harry's uncle and aunt like to let the neighbors think that Harry goes to St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys rather than to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He has to hide his magic -- and even broomsticks aren't a suitable topic of conversation in the Dursley household. But everything is about to change for Harry, beginning with this particular summer vacation.
It starts with a letter from Mrs. Weasley, Harry's friend Ron's mother. She invites him to come spend the rest of the summer with the Weasleys and to go see the Quidditch World Cup. Quidditch is Harry's favorite sport in the world, and it isn't often that the Quidditch World Cup is in Britain. Faster than you can say "Hogwarts," Harry travels by fire to the Burrow, and the dark and threatening adventure begins.
On the way, Harry discovers that his interest in girls is becoming more nerve-wracking -- how is a young wizard to ask a girl to the Yule Ball? And what of the Goblet of Fire itself? And the Triwizard Tournament? And then, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named might be seeking Harry out even now!
Who can resist a Harry Potter tale? J. K. Rowling has proven again that her international success seemed inevitable. It is beautifully written, with a strong narrative and fascinating, unforgettable characters, and there is not a child or adult in the world who won't love this story. Not one word is wasted.
Now, my only problem is I need to find Harry so I can start classes at Hogwarts, soon. I sent him a message by owl, just this morning.

BRONSON - Another successful year of the Toys for Tots program by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in the Tri-County Area led to the distribution of toys to more than a thousand families on Dec. 13 and 14 in Levy, Gilchrist and Dixie counties.
The delivery of toys to parents in Levy County on Dec. 13 happened at First Baptist Church of Bronson. Last year, it was at First United Methodist Church of Chiefland.
Vince Arcadi, Tri-County Toys for Tots coordinator, said the distribution was moved to Bronson to make it more central for the whole county.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.066 Sunday, 19 February 2012
Date: February 16, 2012 1:13:09 PM EST
Subject: Merchant Opens This Friday--Inside Scoop
This production is indoors at the 1820 Oliver's Carriage House in Columbia, Maryland. With its huge beams and stone fireplace, this clearly isn't a theatre space, but we turn it into a great opportunity to experience Shakespeare as if it were in your living room. The lights are on, and the actors are only a couple of feet away from you. It's a chance to see a lot of the careful, thoughtful work that's gone into making these performances glow with passion.
A fairy tale romance between Portia and Bassanio is assisted and encouraged by the generous merchant, Antonio. When Antonio must default on a loan, Shylock, an abused and bitterly vengeful Jewish moneylender, demands the gruesome payment of a pound of flesh and only the clever Portia seems able to save Antonio from the consequences of his anti-Semitism.

STANWOOD — A teenaged boy was rushed to a local hospital after being pulled from Lake
Goodwin on Sunday afternoon, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office reported.
The condition of the boy, who is believed to be 15 or 16, was unavailable a couple of hours after the 1:30 p.m. swimming accident, sheriff's Lt. Jeff Brand said.
The teen had been visiting Snohomish County's Wenberg Park southeast of Stanwood with family or friends when he was found submerged in the water, Brand said. Witnesses gave conflicting accounts about how long he had been under. It was unclear why he began having trouble. He was not using a boat or any other watercraft.
After the swimmer was pulled from the water not breathing, a 15-year-old passerby gave him CPR until first aid crews arrived, Brand said. Paramedics rushed the injured swimmer to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
The sheriff's office is investigating.
Through last week, Snohomish County had nine drownings this year.
They include an 18-year-old man who drowned July 1 on the Skykomish River near Index and a 10-year-old boy who drowned June 30 on the Stillaguamish River in Arlington.
The Sheriff's Office received a report of a possible drowning near Darrington on Friday, but concluded it was likely a false 911 call after searching the area for hours.

At least Bako won't get to hit against us. Like all back up cathers, he kills us.
Veteran presence.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I don't expect much from either but you never know. At least Krivsky is working the phones.
Interestingly enough Bako was drafted by the Reds in the 5th round of the 1993 amateur draft and Sauerbeck was born November 9, 1971 in Cincinnati and went to Miami U. in Oxford.

starts career in Reds minor leagues, ends career in Reds minor leagues, never plays game as a Red.
makes me miss Glenn Sutko and Justin Towle
Well, there was kind of a drop-off from the two ML guys to Hannigan. Bako should be a more viable option in case of an injury.
Could Sauerbeck mean that they're prepared to write off Stanton?

Tanya - from Harrison, AR
You can dust hardened royal icing flower or fondant decorations with Pearl Dust. It can be applied either dried directly from the bottle or in a mixture of either clear vanilla extract, lemon extract or vodka. For either method, you would use a food-safe brush to apply the Pearl Dust to the flower or other decoration. If you're looking for more silver cake decorating ideas, you might also want to look at the new Silver Pearlized Sugar that is now available – it's a lot of fun!

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer
First round: Marysville Getchell at Mountlake Terrace, Shorewood at Oak Harbor, Ferndale at Glacier Peak, Shorecrest at Stanwood, all Wednesday night, 7 p.m.
Semifinals: Saturday, 6 p.m. at Jackson H.S.
Championship: Feb. 16, 8 p.m. at Jackson H.S.
Advancing: Top three advance to regionals.
Big storylines: This tournament is loaded at the top. It features four teams that have a real chance to win in Mountlake Terrace, Glacier Peak, Stanwood and Shorewood. All four teams leapfrogged each other at times in our Herald power poll throughout the season, but all four were in the top-six most of the way. Glacier Peak is led by center Zach Pederson, but has a point guard in Dreu Vader that can get to the rim and another guard in Ramsey Rosales that can knock down big shots from the perimeter. Rosales and Vader's improvement throughout the season has the Grizzlies playing their best basketball. Glacier Peak may be the most interesting team to follow coming in because they appear to be putting things together at the right time. That said, it's hard to argue with anything Mountlake Terrace has done. The Hawks have just two blemishes on their record this season. It would be surprising if any of the other four teams in this tournament were to make a run at the championship.
Favorite: Mountlake Terrace. The Hawks have six players who can score in double figures on any given night, but ultimately the team hangs its hat on defense. Because of the pressure that the Hawks are able to put on other teams they can win a low-scoring game in the 30's or a high-scoring game in the 70's. Glacier Peak is the only team in this tournament to have beat the Hawks this season and its going to be difficult to do it again.
Dark horse: Shorewood. It was a difficult last few games for the Thunderbirds. Shorewood lost to Mountlake Terrace, Glacier Peak and Stanwood. There is no question that the Thunderbirds belong in the top-four of the district, but it's not a good sign that they are coming off losses to other three teams in that mix.
Matchup we want to see: Mountlake Terrace vs. Glacier Peak. Each team won in their gym, if they are to meet again it will likely be for the district championship on a neutral floor at Jackson High School and should be another classic.
Key players: Marquis Armstead (Mountlake Terrace), Blake Fernandez (Mountlake Terrace), Greg Bowman (Mountlake Terrace), Elijah Jordan (Marysville Getchell), Josh Hawkinson (Shorewood), Drew Washington (Oak Harbor), Zach Pederson (Glacier Peak), Dreu Vader (Glacier Peak), Ramsey Rosales (Glacier Peak), Cannen Roberson (Stanwood), Josh Thayer (Stanwood), Dylan Pontrello (Shorecrest)
Picks: 1. Mountlake Terrace, 2. Glacier Peak, 3. Stanwood.

ok so for starters, im using BT5R3, no probs.
i have an EEE pc 1005HAB and it has a intel GMA 950 chipset.
my primary laptop monitor's resolution is 1024x600, works no problem.
my secondary monitor which is to the right of monitor0, is running at 1024x768.
the problem is, my 2nd monitors native resolution is 1600x1200. when i go into display settings, i set the 2nd monitor to the higher resolution. BT asks me to log out and back in, no problem. BUT, once i do that and start X again, its back to 1024x768!
also, i know my video card supports the higher resolution. how? i fire up windows (dual boot), and monitor 2 is running at 1600x1200 just fine....
any ideas peeps?
oh ok, heres some more info-
on boot, the intel GMA 950 reports an error about the virtual display
something like "resolution mode 2624x1200 not supported"
which, is true but also not... i mean a virtual display, IS 2624, that makes sense. BUT im using an external monitor, not one single monitor....

text: Bethenny Frankel claims she is worth between $25M and $55M. Her husband, Jason Hoppy is worth way less. So, why on earth would Bethenny be asking for child support and for Jason to pay for a bunch of trivial expenses and life insurance naming Bethenny and their daughter as beneficiaries? If Jason was worth more than Bethenny or even an equal amount then I could see it. It would still be petty if you are worth as much as she claims to be, but I could at least understand it. I don't think Bethenny is worth as much as she thinks without selling a lot of things. Oh, and Bethenny also asked for primary custody of their child. No joint custody at all. As far as I have ever heard, Jason has done nothing which would warrant Bethenny trying to keep their daughter away from Jason. For someone who is so concerned about her image, Bethenny is certainly not showing it with her actions. This is going to turn into a nasty divorce and there are going to be a lot of Bethenny skeletons tossed out on the ground that she won't ever be able to put back in the closet.

There have been several mentions of karaoke in this forum recently. I think it should be a Good Word of the day.
The karaoke machine and karaoke bar are familiar items in the USA. World wide, they are ubiquitous. One of my dear progeny, in his salad days, made a shaky living singing at karaoke bars. The name has followed the machine. Karaoke is a good example of universally known words. I believe a phonetic attempt at saying and then spelling karaoke has invaded every numerically significant language.
In my naive youth, I though scientific words were universal so that ferrous and Fe described iron in every language. It doesn't. Chinese periodic tables do not have western nomenclature. Germans persist in calling a hydrocarbon "kohlenwasserstoff" and thumb their nose at other standard scientific words.
Leave it to a Japanese combination CD player, microphone and video display to create a universal word.
Notice the word is not entirely Japanese. It is Japanese and European. Kari means empty in Japanese. It is empty because there is no recorded lead singing voice. Oke is an abbreviated version of the Japanese word for orchestra that was directly borrowed from several European languages, including English.
I think encouraging the development and use of universal words is good. Then how about conversion to the metric system? They will have to pull my 25foot measuring tape from my cold dead hands before they do.
Use this forum to suggest Good Words for Professor Beard.

Re: karaoke
Always wondered where karaoke came from.
Re: karaoke
It's root are in the idea that all drunk people think they can sing whether they have a key or not.
That aside it is a fascinating word and comes from Japanese I believe.

In an effort to beat the current world record for the most Lotus cars on track, we are now calling all Lotus owners to join us this year at the Hockenheim Historic (Jim Clark Revival) event where a challenge to the current record will be made.
The most Lotus cars ever on track was recorded back in June 2009 when 436 of Colin Chapman's finest sports cars took to the Snetterton Race Circuit in Norfolk completing 3 laps of the 3.1232km track and setting the current record.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Big-box stores, big political influence: Happy Black Friday!
November 23, 2016 | For Americans seeking a little retail therapy after a stressful election season, help is on the way. But it's not all about the stampede-inducing sales on Black Friday: Big-box stores and online marketplaces turn some of their profits into political clout through hefty campaign contributions and lobbying. The companies below use a variety of strategies to…
Bankers Challenge Credit Union's Fly-In
September 13, 2013 | The National Association of Federal Credit Unions hosted a "fly-in" this week, bringing members to Washington to visit Capitol Hill and directly lobby their representatives. The American Banker's Association was not amused. However concerned big banks might be that credit unions are growing elsewhere, when it comes to Washington -- it's not much of a competition.
Owner Of Collapsed Indonesian Mine is Big Donor to Congress
May 21, 2013 | Last week's collapse of a massive precious metals mine in Indonesia, which killed at least 17 workers, brought unwanted attention to the American company that owns the facility, Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold. But the company is already well-known to many here in Washington: Its top executives, as well as the company PAC, contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars each election cycle to help fuel congressional campaigns.
OpenSecrets PolitiQuizz: Warren v. Brown
June 12, 2012 | Our question this week: What issue group is the biggest contributor to Elizabeth Warren's campaign for the Massachusetts Senate?
Stephen Colbert Loses a Treasurer, Mets Owners Face Fine and More in Capital Eye Opener: Aug. 18
August 18, 2011 | Last week comedian Stephen Colbert's new super PAC made its first move -- advertisements that satirically voiced support for Republican presidential candidate Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. For at least one person, the ad worked. Salvatore Purpura, who had been serving as the treasurer of Colbert's super PAC.
Republican Charles Djou Holds Cash Advantage Ahead of Special Election in Heavily Democratic Hawaii District
May 13, 2010 | Votes are already being cast in the free-for-all special election in Hawaii's 1st Congressional District, and a Republican candidate has emerged with the most cash on hand in the campaign's final stretch. Republican Charles Djou, a city council member in Honolulu, has nearly $170,000 more in the bank than the most well-financed Democratic candidate.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Lawmakers Peer-Pressured Into Joining the Party
August 11, 2008 | Congress, with its cliques and hierarchy, is one of those places that's described as operating a lot like high school. And, as in school, there's peer pressure among lawmakers—pass this bill, support this amendment, appropriate these funds. As Election Day approaches, some members are being rebuked for not paying dues to their own party.

Cop Leaks Bloody Photos of 'the Real' Tsarnaev
(NEWSER) – A Massachusetts state policeman was furious over Rolling Stone's contentious new cover, which he saw as "glamorizing the face of terror"—so the "tactical photographer" yesterday released some Dzhokhar Tsarnaev photos of his own. The images, handed toBoston Magazine, offer an up-close look at Tsarnaev's capture: In one, he stands covered in blood, apparently pulling up his shirt to show he has no weapon, CNNreports. Some show a sharpshooter's red dot on his head,NPR notes.
"Glamorizing the face of terror is not just insulting to the family members of those killed in the line of duty, it also could be an incentive to those who may be unstable to do something to get their face on the cover of Rolling Stonemagazine," Sgt. Sean Murphy tells Boston Magazine. Following the photos' unauthorized release, Murphy has been "relieved of duty" for one day, CNN notes. A hearing, probably next week, will rule on his job status, a police rep says.

His basketball team, the Riverside King, had just lost 68-60 to Compton Dominguez, and the 6-foot-7 forward dropped in 17 points.
Unless, apparently, the superstar in question is a black woman from Compton, California.
An N.W.A. biopic titled Straight Outta Compton will hit theaters across America in 2015.
The English grave he shares with his parents in Compton, Surrey, has been neglected.
In Compton, lives like that of their older sister Yetunde are lost in gunfire countless times a day.
Jim is going to see the sheriff when he gets back to Compton and have the officer look into this bridge affair.
I said I wanted to see Mr. Compton, and had got a letter for him.
A moment later Jimmy entered, and Compton showed him the note.
While Mr. Compton was reading the letter, I had leisure to look at him, and at his room.
After an hour spent in the examination, Mr. Compton came to business.
American physicist who showed that when particles of light (called photons) collide with other particles, such as electrons, they lose energy and momentum and the light's wavelength increases. For his discovery of this phenomenon (which became known as the Compton effect) he shared the 1927 Nobel Prize for physics with Charles Wilson. He also discovered the electrical nature of cosmic rays.

On Television
Texas ForeverBy Adam Wilson
I'm a Reagan baby, a product of recession, later reared in the economically secure Clinton nineties, in a McMansioned suburb of the Eastern Seaboard. Our athletes—statuesque Celtics and sinewy Red Sox—were billboarded, televised, and extra-life-sized for us to admire as we turned into populist fist-pumpers in the soft reflection of our screens.
My own sports career ended at fifteen, soon after my discoveries of breasts and marijuana—plus, my post-pubic body's physiological rejection of the command, "Run laps." I attended a large public high school known for its high rate of acceptance into Harvard and for its unattractive cheerleaders. Once, at a basketball game, a rival school's fans chanted "Who Let the Dogs Out" when our Lady-Lions took the court.
Still, one makes do. When it comes to social strata in American public schools, life has no choice but to imitate, if not art, then at least John Hughes movies. Our football players held the top position in the high school hierarchy. They wore jerseys over ties on game day, took Creatine, shotgunned beers, spoke with put-on Boston accents. Sensitive stoners like me hung girl-less at the edge of the party, colluding in the mass self-delusion that this was a football team, that this was a party.
I watched Friday Night Lights for the first time four years ago in my New York apartment, bedridden by the idiocy of avoiding a flu shot. Some cable channel had the first season on marathon so that sick boys like myself could feel the pull of pigskin, forget our ailing, gene-weak bodies amidst the rush of Panther pride and the belief that no woman in a million years will ever out-MILF Ms. Tami Taylor, aka Mrs. Coach, the strong-willed and substantially cleavaged matriarch at the heart of the show.
Which is all to say: When I lie in bed at night and imagine white-bearded God making his earthly presence known at the foot of my futon, he asks, "And what is your deepest desire, young man?" I say, "Lord of all things, king of the universe, purveyor of rain, and pain, and occasional love, would you be so kind as to turn me into Tim Riggins?"

Remembering JFK
(Cleveland) - A somber ceremony was held at Cleveland's Cultural Gardens commemorating the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy.
Cleveland Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur helped to lay a wreath in the Irish Garden, with the help of State Representative Mike Foley, and Cleveland councilmen Martin Sweeney, Kevin Kelley, and Martin Kane.
Kaptur spoke about how Kennedy inspired her and others around the nation to embark on a career of public service. Kaptur remarked that while Kennedy urged citizens to serve their country, many of today's politicians encourage the public to only think of themselves.
Foley recalled that growing up, his parents had a picture of President Kennedy displayed in their living room for inspiration. Sweeney revealed that his father cried the day Kennedy was killed.
Kelley said that he is most proud of the barriers Kennedy helped remove from society and the doors he opened for so many people to seek the American dream.

Doutzen Kroes' Dazzling December 2012 Allure Feature
With the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airing on December 4th, Doutzen Kroes scored herself a feature in the December 2012 issue of Allure magazine.
Joining fellow lingerie models for the "Life of the Party" editorial, the 27-year-old model adorned herself in designer dresses from the likes of Zac Posen and Maggie Norris Couture for the hot Mario Testino shot spread while dishing about everything from being a mother to loving the nightlife.
A few highlights from Miss Kroes's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Allure!
On her enjoying the nightlife with her DJ husband:
"Once, when I was about five months pregnant, he played until six in the morning and I could not stop dancing. And now our son, Phyllon, loves music."
On how motherhood has changed her social life:
"I enjoy partying more. I choose the days where I can really let loose and go crazy. I'll also party with no alcohol."
On the non-alcoholic bar drink she loves to order:
"Apple juice with ice. Then it looks like you're enjoying with everyone."
