We arrived only just in time for dinner but staff were so helpful and the food was superb! nothing
Room with bunk beds for child
Nice place, central location, very good breakfast. No one spoke English. Card payment terminal did not work.
Everything None
Nice hotel close to Grottes with exellent breakfast
food was quite good general condition of the building was not as you would expect for the start of the season.
Food and value for money. Lifts, very scruffy and out dated. Stuffed animals nearly everywhere, not to everyone's taste.
The breakfast was OK, but it is the only one good thing. Bathroom in my room needs complete renovation, Internet was slow and working only in restaurant, which was closing at 11 pm.
My stay was just overnight on transit to my main location, this was OK for the purpose Car [arking was a distance from the hotel
Nice spacious room. Clean bathroom. Good breakfast! WiFi connection didn't work. Reception desk is not open in the evening.
The staff were excellent. The hotel was suberb, the decor, the room were outstanding, could not recommend this hotel highly enough. Will certainly go back there very soon. How could you not like this wonderful hotel.
A very friendly welcome from the staff and the walk to the bedroom from reception was through the ancient vaults that now house the extensive wine cellar. The hotel has been tastefully renovated and provides modern amenities without losing its old world charm. Dinner was excellent although a little expensive, but overall, a memorable meal with excellent service. The room allocated was rather small and the low eaves in part of the room meant that one had to be careful when moving about and getting out of bed not to hit your head. The room allocated was cetainly smaller than the photos would suggest and I would not have been happy if I had paid the full advertised price for this room.
We particularly liked quiet in hotel, lovely acessible garden and meals with flair Lack of fans or air conditioning in very hot weather, although to rear of property, by opening the door I was woken by outside noise(lorries at night) and then by hotel dog barking 6am. I am a light sleeper. .
Interesting historical building, which has been nicely renovated. The hotel has a nice garden and is located conveniently in the town center. The room was extremely small and the ceiling too low. I think the room was a bit overpriced for what it offered.
amazingly refurbished, fantastically clean - great atmosphere in an old building but brought up to modern standards. Very good restaurant. Great service. One of the best places I have stayed in for a long, long time.
Lovely people, great food, excellent service. Perfectly located in the centre of the village.
This hotel was amazing! The staff was excellent and very helpful, especially considering that we did not speak much French. The room (street side) was very clean and had a jacuzzi tub in it. The indoor pool, sauna, and steam room were some of the nicest I have ever used. it s also in central Rochefort, which is a very nice town.
Beautiful decor, excellent restaurant, friendly owner and staff, convenient parking.
Great location right in Rochefort, walking distance to great restaurants. We stayed in the older part of the building and our room had interesting roof angles but still modern amenities including good sized bed and bathroom. Loved the the place had a pool and private parking. Parking was a little difficult to find and the pool was too cold
The location was made us pick this hotel. The gardens were beautiful, but if you didn't eat breakfast or have a garden view room it was hard to appreciate them, The management was not responsive to requests for a fan in a very warm room. Just shrugged and said no one else complained or needed a fan, but we could see that other guests had fans in their windows, so it is a problem. Don't get room 430.
Lovely, modern hotel. Huge rooms with fantastic soft furnishings.
A small hotel but located on the main square near restaurents, ideal for overnight staysP Parking could be a problem
Small and cosy hotel, with a good restaurant. Even though it's located in an intersection, the village is quiet and no heard traffic noise. The staff was very helpful in providing info about things to do in the area. Breakfast is rather simple.
Very friendly welcome. Very convenient location. Quiet. Good food. Ideal overnight stop-over on the way home.
The service was excellent and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious, clean and pretty. All furniture and appliances were in as-new condition. I would absolutely recommend and would come back again. A remarkable value for money and very well earned three stars. The only drawback was insufficient equipment in the bathroom - there was virtually no space for toiletries other than the sink. However, I moved one of the night tables to the bathroom, which the hotel staff respected and did not move it back :) I really enjoyed the possibility to play pool, however - the table is located in an area directly neighbouring with one of the guest rooms, therefore it's not recommended to use it in the early mornings or late evenings. Also, if you are irritated by sounds and plan to stay in during the day, it may be better to make sure you are not placed in that room.
Very clean and spacious rooms. Has a pool billard table that can be used for free. Modern and new interior. Friendly staff. Hotel has enough free parking very close by. Breakfast buffet could have had a bit more to choose from. We had a room towards the road where you could here people talking outside (it's a quiet village though, so it wasn't too bad)
Friendly hosts. Plerasant village location. Need to drive out to obtain dinner as owhere in walking distance.
Very friendly, excelent value we will come back
The cleanliness, location, good service, pet-friendly
Excellent breakfast. Friendly, helpful hosts. Beautiful garden and communal rooms. Interesting place. Comfortable bed. Basic room and bathroom. Nowhere to eat close to hotel the night we stayed.
Personel service by the owner and breakfast in the garden douche facility is not perfect
Was there for only a few hours but the stay was very comfortable.
The owners of this very old hotel did everything to preserve the spirit and atmosphere of the place. No luxury of course but a wonderful relaxing experience. The garden is magnificent!
After a very long journey from Munich, the bed we slept on provided us with a sound nights sleep, it was extremely comfortable. Our hosts Jan and Anneka, were friendly and spoke excellent english. Our breakfast was wonderful, fresh rolls straight from the bakery . The decor was a bit dated, But owners doing up gradually
location proximity of church (bells), separate bathroom
Lovely old building in a beautiful setting. Very kind host and hostess, friendly and chatty. Provided beer in the evening in the beautiful peaceful garden, where we also had breakfast next morning. Very enjoyable stay. The only downside is that, although the location is very nice, there is not mcuh choice where to eat nearby. We ended up going to a local campsite, which actually has a pretty good restaurant and bar.

Lady Gaga Without Pants at LAX
Now THAT is a talented musician. I'm looking at you, Louis Armstrong.
I love how Lady Gaga show us that unattractive people can be outrageous and sexy too.
why, oh why did i zoom
Cesarian scar or something more sinister?
appendix scar
i thought the appendix was on the other side.
It is clear that she does not vajazzle.
even worse than the zoom feature over her loose vag lip was the zoom feature over her big honking nose.
Stay classy.
Zoom right over that nose and try not to see MJ. June 25, 2009 Never forget.

Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell's No. 1 priority this legislative session is addressing the state's budget shortfall of $50 million to $70 million in fiscal year 2014.
Campbell says the fiscal cliff negotiations in Congress give the state an opportunity to revisit government's role in delivering social services across all agencies and departments. He doesn't think the time is right for raising state revenues.
"Belt tightening is something that's very difficult to do, but if you still have room to pull it in another notch, that's the first thing we should be doing, rather than seeking additional revenues," said Campbell in an interview.
Campbell didn't name any specific programs or services he'd cut, but said the administration and the Agency of Human Services need to take a close look at current services and shave off inefficiencies and eliminate redundant or dysfunctional programs.
He supports Gov. Peter Shumlin's no-new-broad-based-taxes pledge. Although Campbell wants to protect vulnerable Vermonters, especially the elderly, children, and the disabled, he says it's impossible for Vermont to make up the difference for expected federal budget cuts, which could hit local preschool and afterschool programs, and state heating fuel assistance and workforce training programs, among other services.
In a joint memo from early October, the Joint Fiscal Office and the state's Department of Finance and Mangement estimate that imminent reductions in federal funding could total $15 million annually, with about half associated with the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program .
The memo says that whatever the outcome of federal budget talks in January, "all areas of federal funding will be under continued pressure for constriction in both the near and long term." The memo highlights 13 different funding pots which will be affected if automatic spending cuts take effect.
Campbell's other key priority is pushing for a community-based model of mental health care, partly in response to what he views as the state's longtime failure to prioritize mental health issues.
The rebuilding of the Vermont State Hospital destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene 16 months ago is key to the community care transition, Campbell said. He'd ask the incoming Institutions Committee chair, who oversees the capital construction bill, to make rebuilding the hospital the state's top infrastructure priority.
Although FEMA's refusal to help fund the reconstruction is a serious problem, said Campbell, he's confident that the state will secure funding, and he is willing to put other capital projects on hold indefinitely, to more quickly break ground on the state hospital, hopefully sometime in 2013.
As for community-based care, Campbell said: "Access to quality mental health care is really the issue here. My personal opinion is that the best setting for that is within the community itself, rather than in an institutional model. That's why I supported the smaller bed facility."
Social issues will be a factor this session. Death with dignity, marijuana decriminalization, gun control, child care worker unionization, and a wind energy moratorium are all topics Campbell is certain will come up in committees.
Many of these topics are carried over from legislative battles in the last session. A number of state senators complained that these subjects weren't given sufficient airing on the Senate floor.
Campbell is ambivalent about new gun control legislation in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. "I don't think private individuals should have assault rifles, but that's so broad," Campbell said. "And that may not address the issue we're trying to solve."
"I don't know how well that will be received, because of the fact that the NRA in Vermont is very powerful," he said. Campbell wouldn't commit to any position on an automatic weapons ban before specific legislation is drafted. He is concerned about constitutional conflicts created by state regulation of weapons.
Campbell presided over arguably dysfunctional Senate proceedings in the last biennium that put his leadership position at risk. As a result, Senate Finance Chair Ann Cummings, D-Montpelier, launched a failed bid for the President Pro Tem slot earlier this year. Campbell promised this year's proceedings will be smoother, with more careful committee assignments, timely passage of bills to the floor and strict punctuality rules.
Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, chair of Health and Welfare, is likely to replace retiring Sen. Bill Carris, D-Rutland, as his second-in-command. When Campbell was majority leader, Ayer worked as his deputy.
Campbell said he'd miss veteran Sen. Vince Illuzzi, R-Essex-Orleans, an "almost iconic" Statehouse character with a famous talent for drafting legislation. "Vince is one of those guys, where you sometimes either love him or hate him," said Campbell. "I consider Vince a friend, and I know I'm going to miss his daily counsel."

Ultimate Fighting Championship
Last night on 'The Ultimate Fighter III' Finale Kendall Grove and Michael Bisping were victorious and crowned 'The Ultimate Fighter' for their respective weight classes. Kendall and Ed went to war and Kendall pulling off a judge's decision. Both guys had to fight off some great submission attempts as well as some ground and pound but Grove just seemed to be the fresher fighter. Afterwards Dana White decided to award Ed Herman a six-figure contract for his efforts in the fight. Michael Bisping teed off on Josh Haynes and eventually the ref had to stop the fight because Haynes was taking too many unanswered shots. Afterwards Haynes announced that he would be moving down to the 170 lb division. Kenny Florian made easy work of Sam Stout choking him out early in the first round putting himself that much closer to a lightweight title shot.
Mike Nickels def. Wes Combs via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:10 of Round 1
Matt Hamill def. Jesse Forbes via TKO (Strikes) at 4:47 of Round 1
Luigi Fioravanti def. Solomon Hutcherson via KO (Punch) at 4:15 of Round 1
Kalib Starnes def. Danny Abaddi via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 2:56 of Round 1
Rory Singer def. Ross Pointon via Submission (Triangle Choke) at 0:44 of Round 1
Keith Jardine def. Wilson Gouveia via Decision (Unanimous) at 5:00 of Round 3
Kendall Grove def. Ed Herman via Decision (Unanimous) at 5:00 of Round 3
Michael Bisping def. Josh Haynes via TKO (Strikes) at 4:14 of Round 2
Kenny Florian def. Sam Stout via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 1:46 of Round 1
Tonight fighters hit the scales on the eve of Ultimate Fight Night 5. All of the fighters made weight and Dana White concluded the weigh-ins by showing Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz the 1969 Z28 Camaros the UFC would be giving them. Dana White had planned to flip a coin to see which guy got which car but Ken Shamrock insisted the winner of their July 8th battle at UFC 61: Bitter Rivals gets to pick.
Sam Stout (155) vs. Kenny Florian (155)
Josh Haynes (205) vs. Michael Bisping (205)
Kendall Grove (184.5) vs. Ed Herman (186)
Wilson Gouveia (204) vs. Keith Jardine (205)
Ross Pointon (184) vs. Rory Singer (185)
Danny Abbadi (184) vs. Kalib Starnes (186)
Luigi Fioravanti (186.5) vs. Solomon Hutcherson (185.5)
Jesse Forbes (204) vs. Matt Hamill (205)
Wes Combs (205) vs. Mike Nickels (205)
* Fioravanti came in a half pound overweight, but Hutcherson agreed to let the half pound slide and go on with the fight.
Yesterday UFC President Dana White announced that the UFC has signed lightweight fighter Jens Pulver. White stated that Pulver will likely coach the next season of 'The Ultimate Fighter' and he'll also be thrown right into the mix for a title fight.
With 'The Ultimate Fighter III' Finale quickly approaching, pre-fight interviews with the fighters set to battle on 'The Ultimate Fighter III' Finale have been released.

UFC 61 will have a welterweight battle between Drew Fickett and Kurt Pellegrino and tough lightweight Hermes Franca will take on Roger Huerta.
Pat Miletich's statements in the UFC-IFL court case have finally been released covering threats made by Dana White to events that took place during the making of the IFL.
After beating Chael Sonnen at UFC 60 it has been announced that the UFC will not re-sign Jeremy Horn. The fight against Sonnen was his third on a three fight deal which saw him face Chuck Liddell, Trevor Prangley and Chael Sonnen who replaced an injured Evan Tanner.
With the conclusion of the semi-finals of 'The Ultimate Fighter III' last night, we saw Ed Herman handle Rory Singer and choke him out earning himself a shot at Kendall Grove in the season finale. We also were able to see two light heavyweight fights last night. The first fight was Josh Haynes vs. Jesse Forbes. There was some great first round action where Haynes saw himself in trouble a numerous times. When the second round came Jesse had no energy left and got caught in a guillotine choke forcing him to tap. In the second light heavyweight fight we saw Mike Bisping and Ross Pointon step into the cage and slug with out with Bisping catching Ross with a flying knee making it Josh Haynes vs. Mike Bisping in the finale. The UFC also announced the other fights that are set to take place on the undercard.
Matt Hamill vs. Jesse Forbes
Kalib Starnes vs. Danny Abaddi
Rory Singer vs. Ross Pointon
Solomon Hutcherson vs. Luigi Fioravanti
Mike Nickels vs. Wes Combs

Current WEC lightweight champion Hermes Franca will make his return to the UFC on July 8th at UFC 61, taking on Roger Huerta.
"I got a call from Joe Silva like Monday, so I could not cancel this WEC fight," explained Franca. "I won my first fight in 2006 in the WEC. Scott Adams has been good to me and I have the belt, so I want to do a good job for them and fight."
"In the UFC, there's a lot of young, tough guys," commented Hermes. "Mark Hominick, Jorge Gurgel, Spencer Fisher… they're coming on, so what can you do? It will be like the old man versus the new kid."

I teased you a little yesterday by saying I thought Larry Crabb's comments were "intriguing". Here's a peek just a little deeper into my head. (Better grab something solid.)
Lately I've been thinking about "the Trinity". I thoroughly messed up trying to articulate those thoughts to Sue last night, so I'm going to keep this short. The Trinity is high on the list of stuff I don't understand... and that's kind of my point.
Those of you who are parents may relate to this: think about the way you explain complex issues to your young children. You do your best to get the point across, but you do it in terms they can grasp. In the end you leave out a whole lot of details that you know will only confuse, and your explanation sometimes only vaguely resembles the reality of the situation.
I wonder how often God does that with us.
Specifically, I came to think that perhaps that might apply to our beliefs about the Trinity. Don't misunderstand me - I believe in a triune God. I believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I just don't get how it all fits together. And in the end, I think these thoughts lead me to perhaps "discount" the impact of the Trinity.
All that to say Larry Crabb's comments and some great thinkers like Eugene Peterson and Stan Grenz (who has a new book on the subject) have got me excited. Something resonates with me when I read about the trinity as a model for community.
Any thoughts on the subject?Posted by mike at July 17, 2004 08:04 PM | TrackBack


text: Hello team, In tossim PC simulations, how does a radiomsg send behave? Looking into the code, I happen to believe that the message is transmitted without any failure whenever there is a message send from upper level. Is that the case? ie. All messages given to the radio are delivered successfully? I suspect this because within MicaHighSpeedRadioM (platform/pc) there is only one sendDone call, which returns status as SUCCESS always. Please can someone clarify here. If one would like to have a lossy channel how does it behave? I would like to know wrt to the code flow perspective and some inputs on tossim radiochannel settings.

Iran and the West are now competing over who is getting more stressed: Europe that feared on Wednesday that Iran was about to cut the oil line, or Iran, which has been consistently busy uncovering new technologies.
In one example, the Iranian website Mashreq claimed that the recently launched Navid-class satellite was able to take detailed photographs of the nuclear reactor in Dimona as well as "sensitive sites, air forces bases, and various areas of Tel Aviv."
Iran also displayed its ability to produce its own nuclear fuel on Wednesday, thus claiming to release itself from a dependence on the West, displaying its fuel rod before the IAEA inspectors. Later, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said that Iran was about to christen a new base geared at launching satellites as heavy as one ton and that the base would be equipped and operational within the year.
On the economic level, while the West is trying to prove the sanctions are working, Iran announced it is upgrading its trade ties with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Moreover, Iran says it is about to sign a deal with Iraq and Syria which will include cooperation in the energy sector, and plans to construct one of the largest power plants in the Middle East. The Islamic Republic is also working to renew negotiations with the UN Security Council. According to Turkish sources, the talks are scheduled to begin later this month in Istanbul, hosted by the Turks.

I'm not on a complete gluten free diet, but my mother is. I got a donut maker and thought I'd make the first batch gluten free. I used this recipe, but tweaked it a bit. I used Pamela's Pancake Mix and cut out the baking powder, salt and nutmeg and used water. wow! it came out amazing! it's a bit quicker/simpler and cuts out a few ingredients that are already in the Mix. we've used both the plain glaze on it and just powdered sugar and both taste fantastic with it (my mother doesn't have a big sweet tooth and loved the powdered sugar and my sweet tooth loved the glazed). I can't wait to try other recipes!

That makes sense--got to stop worrying and thinking about this. It will be what it will be.
Probably just means that the lab isn't busy. Not many people scheduling elective procedures at the end of July.
Thanks--I understand. I guess I have never been a very patient person--Lol!
This is beyond my capabilities as I do not wear a white coat. Best to talk to the GI.
I don't get it. Isn't all powdered milk "instant" vs. fresh or canned?

The lawsuits keep piling on the onetime rising star of medtech. Partner Fund Management, which invested $96.1 million in Theranos in 2014, is accusing CEO Elizabeth Holmes and former COO Ramesh Balwani, of lying to investors about the company's now-discredited blood-testing technology, Fortune reports. The lawsuit was filed Monday and unsealed yesterday, Fortune reports, and alleges securities fraud among other violations. Theranos has denied the claims in a statement. Read more here. CZ

Facebook bends to publishers, letting them keep 100% of subscription revenue and data (for now)
With Facebook controlling heaps of the news industry's ad revenue, media organizations have felt more beholden than ever to the whims of the social network. Recently, legacy news publishers have come together to try and collectively bargain with Facebook and Google for more equitable publisher solutions. Today, it sounds as if Facebook seems to have given in to one of those demands.
Facebook launched a journalism project in January, and has alluded to its plan to introduce a way for publishers to sell subscriptions, but little information has been given about the program. Today, Recode writes that the current plan would give the media companies 100% of revenue from subscription sign-ups through its Instant Articles program, as well as allow them to not share data with Facebook. Here's how it would work:
Industry sources say that instead of operating a subscription service itself, Facebook plans on creating a paywall it would implement after non-subscribers view 10 articles a month from a particular publisher.
When users hit the 10-article limit, Facebook plans on sending users to that publisher's site to sign up for a subscription.
"Quality journalism costs money to produce, and we want to make sure it can thrive on Facebook," Facebook's news partnerships leader Campbell Brown said in a statement that appeared to confirm the idea, which is "part of our test to allow publishers in Instant Articles to implement a paywall." Apple, meanwhile, sells subscriptions through the App Store and the Apple News app, but it takes up to 30% of profits.
This is a concession Facebook is willing to make as it listens to the grumblings of a beleaguered media industry—not to mention the looming possibility of more stringent government regulation of the tech behemoths. A few weeks ago, my I wrote about why newspapers are trying to collectively bargain with Facebook and Google, and what they're hoping to get.
Is Bannon becoming the Bernie of Breitbart?
Steve Bannon has kept a pretty low profile for the last few months. After being described as the puppeteer behind Trump's administration in a few articles early on, we've heard little about the man and what he's doing. In recent days, however, two articles by The Intercept have described recent Bannon pushes. And they're not exactly what you'd expect.
The first piece, published yesterday, described an increased marginal tax rate for the rich. Anonymous sources said that Bannon has been advocating for a 44% marginal tax rate for people who make over $5 million, compared to the 39.6% one in place now for the top tier. In essence, he's pushing for greater taxation on the rich, which doesn't sound that Trumpian.
Today, anonymous sources are saying that not only is Bannon lobbying for a higher tax rate, he's also pushing for more government control over technology giants. Specifically, writes The Intercept, he wants Facebook and Google to be considered public utilities. This means essentially that they would be considered public goods that citizens consume, and thus should be held to more uniform regulation. (It's also something I argued a few months ago!)
Another priority Bannon shares with Bernie: Both want the end of the use of offshore tax havens by the tech giants and the rest of corporate America. In a photo posted to Twitter by a visitor to Bannon's office in May, a glimpse of Trump's tax reform plan was visible on a whiteboard of White House goals: "Create a 10% repatriation tax."
Don't get me wrong: Bannon is still Bannon. For example, he had reportedly been lobbying for Trump to take the action he did yesterday on transgender people in the military. He's also still the man that made Breitbart what it is today, which today published an article that put Earth emojis around the name of Trump chief economic advisor Gary Cohn.
Yet Bannon's recent pushes, if proven, show that he's gunning for something that is definitely not within the confines of the traditional Republican party. And they're also both pushes that someone like Bernie Sanders would probably endorse.

Here's Boy Scouts chief Michael Surbaugh's full statement on Donald Trump's divisive jamboree speech
It took a few days, but the chief scout executive for the Boy Scouts of America finally weighed in publicly on President Trump's highly politicized speech at the organization's National Jamboree on Monday. In a statement posted online, Michael Surbaugh acknowledged that the country is locked in a polarized climate but said the tenets of scouting—trustworthiness, loyalty, kindness, bravery—haven't changed:
"I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition that has been extended to the leader of our nation that has had a Jamboree during his term since 1937. It is in no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies. For years, people have called upon us to take a position on political issues, and we have steadfastly remained non-partisan and refused to comment on political matters. We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program."

Kickstarter's CEO and cofounder is leaving
Yancey Strickler, who took over the top spot in 2014, is stepping down as CEO of the crowdfunding site later this year. He announced the move in a blog post on Wednesday night, saying it was time to move on after spending 12 years of his life working on Kickstarter. Earlier this year, we wrote about how the Brooklyn-based company revamped its business model to become a Public Benefit Corporation and vowed never to go public. Strickler didn't say what his next move would be but said he would be up to "new projects" soon. [via TechCrunch] CZ
Once upon a time, the iPod Nano was AMAZING
Apple has confirmed that it has discontinued the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle, leaving the iPod Touch as the last remaining variant of the music player that changed the company forever. I don't even have to insert a decision here on why it's killing them off—it's just too darn obvious.
But thinking about the iPod Nano dying brought back pleasant memories of the device's launch in 2005. It's hard to overstate just how impressive an engineering feat the sliver-like little gadget seemed at the time, or the degree to which it carried an irresistible OMG I want that vibe that few Apple products before or since have matched. And it was also a bold marketing move to release an all-new small iPod with a new name given that the device it replaced—the hard drive-based iPod Mini—had been such a hit.
Here's Steve Jobs unveiling the Nano at Apple's September 2005 event, which also served to introduce a famously bad product–Motorla's ROKR "iPod phone."
So long iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle, and thank you for years of service
The product line that opened Apple's second great act is fading fast. Yep, after 12 years Apple is discontinuing the iPod Nano and Shuffle music players, leaving only the iPod Touch.
The company has taken down the dedicated Nano and Shuffle websites, and sent this statement to The Verge: "Today, we are simplifying our iPod lineup with two models of iPod touch now with double the capacity starting at just $199 and we are discontinuing the iPod shuffle and iPod nano," a spokesperson emailed. The (internet-connected) iPod Touch will now come in 32GB and 128GB versions, with the latter priced at $299.
FWIW I still use my Shuffle every time I get frustrated with my fancy watch-and-wireless-headphones setup. For my money the Shuffle is still the simplest and most reliable way to get music into my head quickly as I'm headed out the door for a run. I will be searching around today to find a new Shuffle to buy, while supplies last.

Another music service??? Google's new idea for YouTube Red actually makes sense
Ever since last year's launch of YouTube Red, I've wondered: How long until Google just combines its two music subscription services? Not that long, apparently. YouTube music head Lyor Cohen recently said that "combining YouTube Red and Google Play Music" is a priority for the company.
Google launched the Play on-demand music service in 2013, only to realize later that YouTube's own massive role in online music might need to be formalized and better monetized—if for no other reason than to placate a music industry frustrated by user-uploaded media and the "safe harbor" copyright law loophole that gave rise to an endless game of infringement whack-a-mole.
That left Google running two separate music subscription services, neither of which has taken off quite like Spotify and Apple Music have. Amazon Music is now reportedly the third biggest music subscription service. JPT
Rent the Runway just made ordering a gown as quick as ordering lunch
Using the brand's in-app same-day delivery service, which just launched today, you can now order your dress before lunch (noon) and have it delivered before happy hour (5 p.m.). Currently, this service is only available in New York, but there are plans to expand to other cities soon.
The idea is to make ordering a gown as easy as ordering your lunch through Seamless. It is also competing with Amazon's same-day delivery service. Right now gown rentals begin at $30 and include a free backup size. The cost of delivery is $9.95, but is free for members.
The title of Hillary Clinton's new book is a great argument for the power of punctuation
Simon & Schuster revealed today that Hillary Clinton's book about the 2016 election is called What Happened. Add a question mark to that and it would basically sum up what much of the world was thinking on November 9, 2016, after she lost to Donald Trump. (Really, what happened?) Still, it was a keen bit of branding insight to keep the title question mark-free, which makes it sound more authoritative and separates it from the thousands of existing hot takes that already ask the question of why Clinton lost. Recall that nearly every poll and pundit insisted she had it in the bag. Whether you care about this book or not, it's a good argument for the power of punctuation. The book comes out in September. Check out more info here.
Would you pay $3 a month for HGTV and Animal Planet?
Discovery Communications may have a new response to cord-cutting in the works. AdAge reports that if Discovery's plan to acquire Scripps Networks comes to fruition, it could create a TV bundle with channels from both networks for around $3 per month to $4 per month. Combined with Scripps, which owns HGTV and the Food Network, Discovery would own five of the top 20 cable networks in the United States. There's just one hitch: Viacom is also interested in Scripps, and has reportedly offered an all-cash deal for an acquisition. But regardless of what happens to Scripps, cheap sports-free bundles seem inevitable now. Discovery, Viacom, and AMC have even been negotiating to offer one together. JN
Cord-cutting is back at Comcast after a long winning streak
Philly cable powerhouse Comcast had been bucking the cord-cutting trend for the last few quarters, but the good times couldn't last forever. This morning, the company reported a net loss of 34,000 pay-TV customers for the second quarter of 2017, ending a nice winning streak. Comcast added pay-TV customers for the previous three consecutive quarters and finished out 2016 with a net gain of 161,000, even as its rivals were hemorrhaging subscribers.
That said, Comcast earnings were pretty rosy thanks to its NBCUniversal unit, which is riding a wave of box office hits like Fate of the Furious. Second-quarter profits were up almost 24%. Here's the full release.
Twitter basically didn't gain any new subscribers in the last quarter, but at least it didn't lose any
Twitter's audience remained flat in Q2 at 328 million monthly active users. That's bad, but when compared to Q2 2016, it's a 5% increase. As you might recall, this follows the rather surprising news of 9 million new users last quarter, which Twitter attributed to resurrected users—particularly those seeking political news—and its burgeoning live content.
During its Q2 earnings call today, Twitter noted, yet again, that its monthly active user metric had taken a backseat to "daily active users." In terms of the latter, Twitter saw 12% growth year over year, as compared to 14% last quarter, but it never disclosed the actual number of daily users, and whether or not an increase there is the result of live content is harder to parse.
In Q2, Twitter logged more than 1,200 hours of live content and attracted 55 million unique viewers—which means it clocked an additional 400 hours of content and 10 million users this quarter. But it's hard not to be skeptical about whether live video has meaningfully impacted Twitter's bottom line; those unique viewers don't necessarily translate into users who will return to and engage with Twitter long term.
Last quarter, Twitter also posited that its harassment policies may be responsible for bringing in new users, but the company's Q2 numbers almost seem to argue the opposite: Perhaps cracking down on abusive accounts has hampered its growth.

There are very few things more wonderful than a long walk with dear friends who you've lived with, laughed and cried with ever since the tender and silly age of 18. I was lucky to take one of these walks with my five wonderful former housemates from university this weekend, down lanes and over headlands towards the sea in Cornwall.
Down one of these lanes, I stopped and announced that we were surrounded by wild garlic. They didn't believe me until I picked a fistful of leaves and crushed them before thrusting the bunch under each of their noses. And then they grew rather excited.
After a hearty walk around Watergate Bay, where we were chucked around by the wind, we trundled our way home, stopping to pick still more leaves for our Sunday lunch.
Have you ever roasted a chicken with wild garlic? Here's how – and why – you should.
Pick five or six large wild garlic leaves from any plants growing nearby. Try to pick them from separate plants to give the bulb the best chance to recover, and if you're unsure as to whether they are wild garlic, give them a good crush in the palms of your hands to release that wonderful rich, sweet smell.
Prepare your roast chicken – we stuffed ours with onions and winter vegetables, rubbed wholegrain mustard over the skin and slotted in slabs of butter. Then place the garlic leaves over the body in rows.
Then wrap your chicken in bacon, and pop in the oven at 190C for 30 minutes per kg of chicken plus 20 minutes extra. Prepare your wonderful side servings as required in the meantime.
When your chicken is ready to eat, you'll find a juicy, succulent bird with a wonderfully fragrant skin and flesh, thanks to those garlic leaves you stretched over its back. The flavour isn't so strong that you immediately think of garlic; rather it warms the meat and gives it a perky push up. It is a perfect early spring dish.
If you find you love wild garlic as much as I do, then have a look at these lovely recipes involving this fab free spring herb.

Where's the spirit on the Spirit?: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by dellyb
Overall Member Rating
Where's the spirit on the Spirit?
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: San Diego
Flight Info: We flew from Bellingham, WA, to San Diego on Allegiant Airlines. That turned out to be a lucky break for us, as the day we left (12-21-08) Sea-Tac was snowed in and many flights were cancelled. We spoke to many people on the ship who said that friends and family members missed the cruise because they couldn't get out. One man said he flew his wife to meet the ship in Acapulco to the tune of over $1000 US. Bellingham is about 80 miles north of Seattle, and we had a few empty seats on our flight down. Something to keep in mind if the weather outside is frightful in the More northwest. On the return, San Diego was fogged in and our outbound flight was cancelled due to weather. We left the next morning after staying at the Sheraton at our expense.
Hotel Info: We stayed in SD on the cheap, at the Dolphin Inn (http://www.dolphin-motel.com/bry/dolphin/home.html), across from the San Diego sports fishing dock where the charter boats moor. Our bare-bones, small room was $66 a night, which included a continental breakfast. The place was really cute and the staff was very helpful. When we had difficulty finding a van-sized cab to take us four miles to the ship, the owner and his son loaded our luggage and us onto their private cars and drove us there. They wouldn't accept a tip for the service. We will always be grateful and will stay there again. By staying there, we were also treated to the sight of a returning sports fishing charter boat that returned from Mexican waters with about 200 yellow fin tuna and wahoo, including 61 tuna over 200 pounds each. That was something to see!
Embarkation: Excellent. It was POURING rain in San Diego (This coming from people who live north of Seattle), and we were drenched when we arrived to embark. The process was extremely smooth. Staff provided us with extra bag tags, as the rain had soaked through ours and they were falling off. We dried off on a big tour boat next to the ship, and were ushered quickly through the arrival process and onto the ship. Surprisingly smooth.
Ship Info: The Spirit seemed like an older ship, though it was launched in 2001. It had everything our other cruises had, except for much spirit, oddly enough. I guess we would have to say it was adequate, which was a bit of a disappointment. We like a good bar at night for instance, so were disappointed to learn that the funnest bars were the crew bar, which we couldn't get to, and the Karaoke bar. The stewards, waiters, and other staff were very nice, but there was no cohesive spirit of fun. We had been expecting a "fun ship," and couldn't find fun on board. Celebrity has martini bars with flair; most ships have live bands that play on the pool deck, creating a lively atmosphere; Celebrity usually has quartets that play around the ship. Carnival Spirit had a couple older guys perched on stands above a bar in the center of the lobby and above the casino bar, playing electric guitars and singing solo. Strange, and seemingly cheap.
Stateroom: We had a standard inside cabin which was fine. Our steward Lito did a great job, with towel animals every night and excellent service. The only weird thing about the cabin was that you had to swipe a personal card through a reader on the safe to open and close it. While this was safer than using a room card, it wasn't as safe as a combination keypad, as you needed to keep another card out of the safe to get into the safe. If people used a credit card, they couldn't leave it in the safe, where it would be safe.
Dining: Great staff, adequate food. This was the first cruise we have been on where most nights I didn't find an item on the menu that I really wanted for dinner. One time pasta was cold, one time a flat iron steak was rubbery, and most times the food was good but not great. Breakfast in the dining room was a tad lacking. They had a butter substitute on the tables, for instance, rather than butter. Out of the four days we breakfasted in the dining room, they only presented the pastry basket once. At dinner, no bread basket on the table; they would come by at the beginning and serve a roll or two. And no breadsticks, which we loved on Celebrity. These are picky little things and we probably sound like snobs, but it was the little things that differentiated this cruise from all the others. Excellent Warm Melting Chocolate Cake and Bitter and Blanc. The highlight of dining was the Supper Club, where the service was fantastic, only surpassed by the high cuisine. The Lobster Bisque was one of the finest tastes I've every experienced. Ashlie Dias, the Executive Chef, was a master, and a really nice guy.
Activities: If you love trivia, you'll love this cruise. Our itinerary included four days at sea, and we checked every day for the activities. Mostly it was trivia, it seemed. There was a waterslide on board, which was open only two days out of seven. We found it open on Christmas, and had a blast going down it over and over as we pulled into Acapulco. It was open on the second sea day also. Lots of fun if you lay down in a luge position. If you see the slide open, take advantage of it as it might not be open again. There were no educational activities on board. Less

Louise Reinhardt Francis '21—daughter of a Delaware judge, fluent in French and Spanish and a longtime teacher at The Brearley School—played a furry, blue-faced thug with wings in a classic American film.
At 39, Francis was a Flying Monkey in The Wizard of Oz, answering a casting call for "small thin men for close-ups." She appears in the scene when the monkeys—minions of the Wicked Witch of the West—attack the Scarecrow, Tinman and Cowardly Lion, and kidnap Dorothy and Toto. She vividly remembers "jumping around" in the pretend forest, fake leaves "flying all over the place."
Born in 1899, Louise "Lulu" Reinhardt grew up in Wilmington. She studied French at Bryn Mawr and at 30 married actor Charles Francis. Together they traveled the country by train with a menagerie of actors for four years. "I loved touring with Charlie," she says. "We liked to play bridge." Eventually they settled in New York City, where she taught at The Brearley School until 1961. She wrote 18 plays for elementary students, including Abe Lincoln Goes to School. She and her husband sometimes wintered in Hollywood, and during their 1938 stay there, she shot Oz.
Her costume was "horrible," she said: "Awfully uncomfortable. But I wouldn't give it up for anything. I flew on wires. It was breathtaking." Six-inch rubber monkeys were used for the distant in-flight shots, but the special effects department suspended actors on thin wires for close-ups, cushioning their occasional falls with mattresses and nets. Francis said she was the littlest monkey, at 101-1/2 pounds. Director Victor Fleming "didn't tell us exactly what to do. I liked the freedom of it. You never knew just what was going to happen. It was fun that way."
Often after shooting, she and her husband went for cocktails with the cast, where they "met the whole crowd…and closed several bars we stayed so long." The actors who played the Munchkins "were lovely," she said. She also fondly remembered Frank Morgan, who played the Wizard, and thought that Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch, was "very pleasant. Not very wicked."
Francis resided at a nursing facility in Connecticut, where Hamilton also lived until her death in 1985. Francis recalled reconnecting with Hamilton at nursing home functions nearly 50 years after their original acquaintance on the set.Francis died in 2002, at the age of 102.

Beaufort County Wills and Land Grants
Beaufort County was formed in 1769 from the parishes of Prince William, St. Luke, St. Peter and St. Helena. The county and county seat were named for Sir Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort (1684-1714), one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina. French explorers first visited this area long with the English arriving in 1562 to establish a fort. Later, in 1566, the Spanish established a temporary fort on this site The town of Beaufort was founded in 1710 and is the second oldest town in South Carolina. It was visited by pirates, including Blackbeard who is thought to have hidden some of his treasure nearby. Large and rice and sea island cotton plantations later enhanced its economy. During the War Between the States, Federal troops occupied Beaufort in December 1861.
Among the earliest settlers were: Alexander Garden (ca. 1730-1791), Stephen Elliott (1771-1830) and Robert Smalls (1839-1915).

Henry Farmer House in Beaufort
By Jeannette Holland Austin
During the 1790s the long staple sea-island cotton and cotton gin became popular and went into regular farm use. Henry Farmer was one of the planters who knew prosperity from growing cotton. He built his home on 412 East Street in Beaufort, South Carolina. Some of the materials used were wooden pegs and imported copper nails.
Second European Landing on the American Continent
By Jeannette Holland Austin (profile)
Although the Spanish landed twice on the island of St. Helena off the Carolina coast, they did not settle there. All that they did was take some peaceful Indians to use as slaves. When Jean Ribault landed on Parris Island with his French Huguenots in 1562 a French gentleman said of them "they had the means to achieve some notable thing, worthy of eternal memory." On May 27th, 1562, Ribault anchored in ten fathoms of water off what is known today as Parris Island, just a few miles from Port Royal. " Ribault and his men landed, and while they walked through the forest, flocks of wild turkey flew above their heads, and around they beheld partridges and stags. Upon returning to the ships, they cast their nets in the bay, and caught fishes in numbers so wonderful that two draughts of the net supplied enough for a day's food for the crews of both ships." Ribault built a fort which he named Charlesfort before returning to France to report his discovery, leaving behind a garrison of twenty-six men. Three years later another French ship landed at Port Royal but the Spanish had already destroyed the fort. The Spanish built a fort for themselves which the Indians destroyed and another fort in 1677. The latter fort was constructed of cedar posts and tabby because two years later two American officers found the outlines of an old fort of tabby and cedar which they believed to be Ribault's fort. In 1732, the English built their fort. An old house still stands in Beaufort, more than two hundred years old which appears to be built over the fort. It includes a large porch and pillar, and the lower portion built with tabby in which there are loop-holes for rifles and beneath them a stone ledge for ammunition.

Hilton Head Island
By Jeannette Holland Austin (profile)
Hilton Head Island is named for the English sea captain William Hilton who was hired by a syndicate of Barbadian planters. He sighted the high bluffs of the island in August of 1663 while exploring the Port Royal Sound, and named it "Hilton Head," which referenced the visible head lands of uncharted waters. Upon the onset of the American Revolutionary War, the colonists on Hilton Head sided with the patriots. During the war he British frequently raided Hilton Head Island from their stronghold located on Daufuskie Island, capturing slaves later selling them in the West Indies. The raids were constant throughout the war, even continuing after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. Sea Island Cotton was grown on the banks of the Beaufort River as a lucrative crop. Once again, during the War of 1812 the British invaded Hilton Head Island and burned the town and most of the beautiful sea island homes. Thus, the old county records were lost.

Why should I care about database hygiene?Bad database hygiene can affect your scoring and grading, your email deliverability, and could prevent you from reaching your revenue potential. Good database hygiene helps you connect with the most engaged prospects, protects your sending reputation, and may help increase your ROI. When your database is clean, you can focus on nurturing only the most qualified prospects. Check out our ROI calculator for more insight.
Where did all these prospects come from?Prospects can be added to your database in the following ways:
- Form completions
- Prospect imports
- CRM syncing
- Manual creation
How do I check my database usage?You can check your database usage by viewing the Usage table in your Pardot account settings.
To check the number of mailable prospects in your database, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Prospects > Prospect List.
- Select Mailable Prospects from the View dropdown.
How can I clean up my database and re-engage inactive prospects?If you have a lot of inactive prospects in your database, consider setting up a drip program to re-engage them. You'll need to create a simple dynamic list and set up a drip program with compelling emails that encourage your prospects to interact. See Drip Programs for Re-Engagement for more information.
Deleting ProspectsDeleted prospects go into the recycle bin. Deleted prospects don't count against your database limits, and if they create certain new activities, Pardot will restore the records with all historical data intact. Note: When you delete a prospect, the number under Prospects > Prospect list should update immediately; however, the Database Usage in your account settings could take up to 24 hours to reflect the changes. You can find out more about deleting prospects in this article.
Permission PassAnother method to clean up your database is a permission pass. Permission passes ask your prospects to opt back in to your emails. If they confirm, then you'll know they're an engaged and worthwhile lead. If not, we recommend removing them from your database.
Although this could result in a decrease in your total database size, you'll be left with prospects who are actively interested in you (plus room to grow and add new leads). This article has a detailed walkthrough of how to set up a permission pass in Pardot.

The Real Cost of Home Solar Panels
The thing most often overlooked in solar power generation is the real cost of a solar panel. Often, one would stop considering the cost of the solar panel because it may seem like a very expensive piece of machinery used to heat water and power small areas of the house. This may be true for now, but in the near future, developments would be undertaken to address these seemingly small drawbacks to the proliferation of solar panels and the harnessing of solar energy.
So what is the true cost of a solar panel? What does it cost to make home solar power? What one is actually purchasing is piece of equipment that would provide a limitless source of energy that is renewable and non-polluting. This may seem far off one's sphere of influence but the true cost of a solar panel is your contribution to the earth's life. This can be installed by purchasing a few hundred dollars of equipment and some knowledge in installation, you can be able to use solar energy for the supply of power needed in your home. One does not need to pay any other monthly bills for power supply. One just needs to adjust the panels to be able to collect the sunlight and convert it into electrical power.
And the savings is not only realized here. By lessening the dependency on fossil fuels for power generation, the more contribution one makes for the earth's recovery from the scathing effects of pollution emissions and the scarring of the earth due to the mining of coal and other fossil fuels. This is the real cost of home solar panels; the way in which a common person can contribute to the over-all sustainability of the earth against the pollution caused by fossil fuels.
So if you are considering purchasing a solar panel for some of your electrical needs, then this is a good step towards being a responsible and environmentally aware individual. With this investment, one not only alleviates the burden of monthly electrical costs but also makes one an active partner towards the healing of our pollutant scarred planet for future generations.

Mass Effect 2 is one of the best (if not the best) games I have ever played. I love the first, and the second was just even better. I have it on 360 with the majority of the DLC and I still play it ever now and then, after beating it within the two days I got the game last winter. Next month, ME2 is coming to the Ps3, and this game is so good, Im thinking about buying it again, just beacause.
As you know, the game is coming to ps3 with all the DLC, better graphics, and only one disc. Being someone who already owns and has played the game, I am so excited to buy the PS3 version. I dont know why, but I am just as excited as I was to buy it when it came to 360.
So am I crazy for buying it again? I say no effin way. I will happily pay that much for an amazing game, and I will happily play it again and again and again. What say you? Am I crazy, or are you doing the sammmeee thing!?
Leave a comment! Love you.

Norwin softball motivated after non-playoff year
If the 2012 season qualified as the Norwin softball team's breakthrough, 2013 represented more of a step back.
After winning a share of the first section championship in school history two seasons ago, the Knights fell short of that last year, finishing in fourth place in Section 1-AAAA and missing out on the WPIAL playoffs.
The disappointment from last season's finish is motivating the Knights heading into 2014.
"My freshman year was awesome, making it to the playoffs and such," junior catcher Maddy Wensel said. "But losing our big seniors from last year, it really has given us the motivation to step up and fill their spots. We have some great young talent coming up, so it'll be nice to see how they do. But we're really excited, and we're really pushing this year."
Last season, an 0-3 start in section play put Norwin on its heels early. The Knights won six of their next eight section games to climb back into postseason contention before getting eliminated in a 9-1 loss to Penn-Trafford in a winner-take-all game for the final playoff spot.
"It was a huge disappointment for everybody, the coaches through the girls, knowing we had a quality team that could have beat some of the teams in the playoffs," Norwin coach Andy Phipps said. "We lost a couple key games that we never should have lost … we just did not play well in a couple games, and ultimately we were one game short of the playoffs. We've got to make sure we play every game, no matter what the weather is, as if it's a playoff game this year."
Though Norwin lost key starters such as all-section centerfielder Nikki Ingel and four-year shortstop Cassidy Chappell, the Knights still have plenty of experience to fall back on this season.
Wensel, a two-time all-section selection, returns at catcher after batting .525 with four home runs last season. Sophomore Christiana Skrabak, one of the team's top hitters in 2013, will move to shortstop in Chappell's absence. Seniors Nikki Berardinelli and Lindsey Robinson are returning starters at first and second base, respectively.
"As far as the infield goes, I think we're going to be really strong," Phipps said, adding that several players are competing for playing time in the outfield.
After spending the majority of last season with one primary pitcher, Norwin boasts more depth at that position. Senior Maddy Miller returns and will be joined by junior Hannah O'Block. Phipps said freshmen Danielle Churba and Johnna Karas may also pitch, and both could earn spots in the regular lineup as well.
"We're always helping each other out," Miller said. "If a pitch isn't working, we're always asking each other what's going on. Obviously, it's going to be easier for somebody else to pick it up than you. We just try to help each other out and make ourselves better."
Norwin opened the season Friday at Penn Hills and was scheduled to open section play Monday against Latrobe. The Knights were scheduled to travel to Kiski on Wednesday before hosting nonsection opponent Bethel Park at 4 p.m. Friday.
"We look back to two years ago, losing the first game to Canon-Mac, and we're using that as a building block — trying to look back (and see) what we did well, what we didn't do well," Wensel said. "That's our goal; The section comes first, but then there's the playoffs. We're setting some high expectations this year."

Sonoma Rhone Garagiste Part 4: First Crush aka No Plan Survives Battle
(Republished, as a accident of late night writing while traveling, I accidentally over wrote Article 3)
Thanks for following! Welcome to Part Four of the Series: My 2010 Rhone Harvest – Garagista or Passion Gone Runaway? (Part 3, Where to Crush, Part Two: It's All About the Vineyard.
The First Crush aka D-Day
The first of my grapes ready was the Saralee Viognier. Taking vineyard samples, I was actually concerned the fruit was a little riper than I wanted; I seek to make wines that are lower alcohol, less extracted, expressions of the vineyard, vintage, and fruit….essentially I am making to my own personal palate, not what the average consumer buying at Safeway grabs.
The Viognier field samples tested at 24+ brix, time to crush right away, as I wanted under 14% alcohol. I made arrangements with Saralee, the winery, and was ready. I had my new wine trailer, barrel, and all details worked out.
Roll With Small Punches, and Leave More Room for Error
I re-learned a lesson I already knew well from my time in the Infantry; no plan survives battle. I got to Saralee's Vineyard right on time at 7 a.m. (Grapes are best picked early, and cool.) She was warm and gracious despite it the place being abuzz….the last heat spike had things in overdrive, and crews were working fast for many varietals, for some big comtracts, thus we were a bit delayed.
Not a major issue, but I had shoehorned myself into a meeting with a major brand 45 mins away for 1030 a.m meeting….Saralee did awesome and we got the fruit picked swiftly.
As we went to load the ½ ton bin onto my new trailer, we discovered the tailgate ramp was too long, the forklift couldn't get it on the trailer….my plan was to just let the forklift mash it to bits, but Saralee was gracious enough have the bin driven over (this woman is amazing…it's a busy day, I am mosquito client, yet she doesn't miss a beat.) Luckily it wasn't far away.
The fruit is delivered, (after traffic delays) and stored in a cool place. It's dangerously close to departure time for my meeting. I race to Safeway to get dry ice to keep the grapes cool until we press that afternoon….they have none. Luckily the one 2 miles away does…race there, get it on the grapes, cover them, race home to shower, eat in car, and make my meeting on time.
I get back to the winery an hour late, and its smooth sailing. They are finishing up their own press. It's the first time to whole cluster pressing on this new Puleo bladder press, so we do some setting tweaks, and off we go.
Wine making decisions:
As I wrote yesterday, there is an ever unfolding series of decisions, each impacting the next, in wine making.
Viognier is a fragrant, floral grape. Excess skin contact can overpower the wine, which is not the style I seek, especially since much of this will be blended, thus the decision to whole cluster press. Whole cluster pressing minimizes the time the pressed grape juice will be in contact with the skins.
Whole cluster press was also beneficial in this case, as we had some sunburn from the upper part of the block, and only modest field sorting; whole cluster press does the best job here, instead of grinding the raisins up.
Barrel vs Steel Fermentation (Or both!)
I like the mouthfeel and texture that fermenting in a neutral oak barrel gives (note barrel fermentation is different than barrel aging.) so 60% of the juice (pressed 70 gallons total) went into barrel, the rest into stainless. This mix gives me options as we proceed, when making blending decisions.
Future Decisions (and places for help, input)
I have some future decisions to discuss, analyze , and make.
- Whether I barrel age most of the wine. (Must find another neutral 30 or 60 oak gallon barrel to do this, not easy. ) or leave it to age on stainless after fermentation. Ideally I'd find a 30 gallon neutral barrel used for whites and do both…but this is a very hard item to find.
- Whether to allow the wine to go through Malo-lactic fermentation. ML converts malic acid to lactic, softening the wine. Viognier is generally lower in acidity, so many do not do ML. However I am told, if I don't, I'll need to do sterile filtration…for a small amount of wine like this, this adds cost, and wine loss…more investigation needed, but have a (bit) of time.
- Once the Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne are all complete next Spring, blending trials and experimentation will shape the combinations: how much is individual bottled? What combination or combinations of blends do I make? What percentages?
Juice Analysis
I loathe chemistry, and the inexpensive tools home wine makers use (litmus paper ugh.) The nice thing about the larger scale production this year is running tests from Vinquiry, only a few miles away are now affordable on a volume basis, as well as fast and most accurate.
The Juice Panel test shows 22.3 brix, always more accurate than a field sample; I am pleased. Acids are good, Nitrogen levels to feed the yeasts are quite high, so no yeast food is needed.
The native yeast begin doing their job, and we are underway. Looks like the syrah and Grenache will be next, likely next week.

Sonoma Rhone Garagiste Part 3: Where to Crush?
Third in the Series of My 2010 Rhone Harvest – Garagista or Passion Gone Runaway? Summary: In Part One, I laid out my intent of making 5-7 barrels of Rhone wines (~150 cases). In Part Two I shared my good fortune of sourcing most of my fruit from the famous Russian River Saralee Vineyards.
Yesterday I said I would write about the first crush, but as the article evolved, it was too lengthy, so it has been split it into two parts . Tomorrow I will publish the first grape crush. Today's article is focused on where to process the grapes, and make the wine.
Crush Decision Point – Where & How
You quickly learn that winemaking involves an ongoing set of decision trees that has many sub branches, and in some cases are dependant on the equipment you have. E.g. If I wanted to whole cluster press (no destem/crush first) a white varietal to minimize skin contact for various reasons, a basket press isn't very effective, a bladder press works much better, and gentler.
The first decision I had to make was where and how was I going to process this much fruit. (5+ 1/2 ton lots. Small by commercial standards but a lot for home winemaking.) I have a small crusher/destemmer and press, and plenty of stainless, glass carboys, and other containers. I even have two ½ ton open top containers bought used.
Processing time is also a factor, especially for whites. Using a human powered machine to destem, crush ½ ton of wine grapes is a pretty large task, and best done by multiple sets of biceps taking turns.
There is also the very real factor of my business travel for my 'day' job' this time of year I am traveling weekly; I need assistance to keep an eye on the wine, help with punchdowns etc while gone.
It should be noted, there are custom crush facilities (like Crushpad) that do 100% turn key with your 'guidance', but that's not the type of winemaking I want. If I didn't travel, had more equipment, and the proper storage until the heat abates, I'd be doing as much as home as a could, as a true garagista.
Luckily we have 100+ wineries in a small radius of where I live, and I am blessed with many good industry friends. I found a solution via a small winery nearby who could assist with equipment and storage, as well as keep an eye on things when I wasn't around. The winery has good equipment, but takes a very traditionalist philosophy to winemaking, which appealed to me greatly.
Going Native
This did mean I had to embrace a native yeast fermentation, as this winery does not inoculate with commercial yeast strains, and you need to keep those strains off premise, as yeast are promiscuous little buggers. I had planned at least one more year of commercial, then experimenting, but figured why not.
Does using a small winery's equipment make me less of a garagista?
Perhaps, but this is too much money, time, volume and quality fruit to risk a bad production. I will be doing several small lots at home, including a Syrah rose (if can get some free/discounted fruit) and another batch of Sangiovese as I did last year.
Come back tomorrow to learn about the first crush and how it went, cheers!

This is a well known scam, do not contact these people
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014
The email you received is a well known pay day collections scam. You can go to FTC(dot)gov and read under the section for consumer scams to find details of this and other scams.
The attorney name is real, but the email is not from that attorney. The scammers scrape random individual names and company names from the internet and present themselves as that person or entity. The phone number is not even associated with the name they have stolen. Usually these phones are throw away phones anyway. This scam counts on you to contact the scammer and to respond to the scammer by paying them off.
Delete the email. Don't contact these people. If you contact them they will exert pressure for you to send them money in some untraceable way via Green Dot card, Western Union, Money Gram or any method where the receipient can't be tracked. None of the info in the email is true.
