We consider this the absolute best blade steel available, and it is made in America. S30V contains carbon as well as high amounts of Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium. This steel combines fantastic edge retention and high ductility combined with corrosion resistance. Double-tempered - it can be hardened to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 59.5-61. However, it is difficult to resharpen yourself, but we do offer sharpening services for a nominal fee.
This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
I ordered a custom 112 Ranger from Buck. The craftsmanship is superb. Years ago I swore not to buy another buck product after snapping a 103 in 2. Am i glad i changed my mine. I chose cherry blanks, black 420 blade, finger grooves and rivets. I can tell you its one pretty knife. It far surpasses the Case that i have carried for more than 30 years. I would like to send a special thanks to the craftsman who built her, it will be an heirloom that i will be proud to carry and pass down, WHAT A KNIFE!!!!!!! T he only complaint i have is it would look better in a brown sheath with a basket weave pattern. Maybe ill just make my own.
I just received my 112 and it came out great! I am a precision grinder and have been for over 40 years and the workmanship is excellent.
Extremely happy with my first Buck Custom Shop knife. It is so beautiful that l don't want to even use. Great job, thank you! Thomas
I opted for S30V steel, nickel bolsters and rivets, indigo handles and engraving, I also got a matching 110, a stunning set. Well worth the wait.
Quite apart from the build quality and materials,for me it's the sheer perfection of the design that holds the eye and quickens the heart!. If there isn't a Buck 110 -112 in the MOMO there should be!.(...and don't forget I told yuh so...PITUI).
I love the 112. To me its a perfect in between size that may be a little much for an office setting but is a great fit for so many tasks. I love the design of the knife as well. Very cool. I got mine with nickel bolsters, blue wood and S30V. Almost too beautiful too use but I gotta remind myself... It's a knife and it wants to cut stuff. Thanks Buck
I ordered a custom 112 with S30v blade, nickel silver bolsters and water buffalo handles, initials on the rear bolster, no rivets or finger grooves. Order was filled, shipped, and delivered in less than a month. It turned out to be a beautiful knife. I'd like to thank Dana for taking the time to build it and provide me with a great knife. Great work! Its a solid knife, razor sharp, and beautiful to boot. Thank you Buck and thank you most sincerely Dana!
I just received my son's special order knife I had made for his birthday. Thanks for the GR8 job you did on his knife. I almost want to keep it for myself. LOL LOL
Got a Buck 112+ very inexpensively at a garage sale. Code date is 1991. Original owner had it in his tackle box. It was a mess. First, I coated it with Ballistol oil. Let soak. Oil removed most of the dirt. Brass ends and rivets took on a stain. Sanding removed. Polished up bright. Blade has no stain but heavily scratched and dull. Appears to be standard high carbon. Polishing removed most of the scratches and edge sharpened nicely. Blade has a nice feel and lock is smooth and positive. The only thing I can not remove are the hammer marks in the brass ends left by the original owner. I want to hammer him. Knife ready for its second owner.
The overal impression is a very nice knife. The metal construction is beyond great. With over 20 knots the burl wood handle is..............
I have to give it up to Buck's Custom Shop. The burlwood handle took some time to grow on me and it has done just that. The CRAFTMANSHIP is above expectations. I love my first Buck CUSTOM Knife. 10 stars
I am the Chairman for one of the Southern California Motorcycling Association's Premier Long Distance rides called the Best 15 US Roads Challenge. The roads are spread throughout the lower forty eight states, and a rider may cover 12,000 miles or more to ride each road. We awarded the thirteen 2015 Finishers with an engraved Buck 112 Ranger, a fitting award for finishing such a tough motorcycle ride challenge. The Buck was very well received by all of the riders. One rider was so impressed that he has already completed the ride again this year, so that he will have a second Buck 112 Ranger...one for each of his grandsons!
My custom 112 just arrived. Totally blown away. Best little pig sticker I have seen in a long time. Fit finish are perfect. SV30 blade razor sharp.
I lost my best knife (a Buck) in Alaska back in 1989, the flap on case opened somewhere , I was 22 miles N/W of Chicken, Ak. As soon as I got back to Fairbanks, I bought another Buck, a 112V. Love it and use it often. I bought a Buck, 288 not long ago, just the right size, to clip to pocket. Quality counts Thanks Buck Knives.
I worked on cutting down cardboard boxes for 20 minutes, the 420HC steel held quite well during that test. I chose finger grooves for my knife, which makes it fit in hand like a glove and provides more grip, The 112 is also better for smaller hands. Lastly. the Construction is amazing, as there was no problems with the Custom Shop. They know what they're doing. !
Just received my custom Buck Ranger 112. Very seldom I write a review on a product but when I seen the quality, fit and finish of the knife I just had to say a big thank you. Very proud to call this Buck Knife mine.
I had been debating on having a 112 made for several months before I actually bought one. I have two 112s, one was a gift from my great-grandfather and the other was a silver nickel bolster anniversary that I found at a garage sale. I love them both and I use them frequently. I had just toured the Buck Knives factory and I really wanted to get myself a gift for making it into an MBA program. I pulled the trigger and got the S30V finger groove with Elk bolsters. It is a beautiful knife! The quality is stunning, much better than the stock knives. My only complaint is that this knife came with polishing compound caked in the thumb nail slot and around the lock mechanism. Other than that, this was well worth the price and something I will hand down when my time is up.
My father purchased my Buck 112 when I was 10 years old. I must admit, Buck has sent me a new sheath. My bird dog puppy found it to be a great chew toy. This is the only product issue I have had. I have sharpened the blade once. There is no telling how many deer it has skinned, ducks, quail, dove, and pheasant it has cleaned, frog legs it has prepared, and fish it has eviscerated. I own a collection of knives... Case, Boker, and custom hand made just to name a few. The Buck 112 is second to none!
I just ordered this awesome knife and received it few days ago. Not only was it packaged beautifully, the custom knife is my most awesome and beautiful knife of all the buck knives I have and I have a lot of buck knives. I recommend this knife to have for your collection.. I give it 5 stars.. Dan
Purchased this custom 112 for every day carry. Just can't do it! It is too perfect. Fit and finish is next to none. This 112 has got to be 1 in a 1,000 in quality. I can't find a flaw in it. That's it...now in going to have to find an old one and start carrying it. Just can't talk myself in to carrying this beautiful S30V with elk scales!
Perfect!!! Ordered for my son to commemorate harvesting his first buck. Finish, engraving, and construction are fantastic. Thank you!
I love the knife, now for the knit picking. High polish blade-10, wish it had nickle silver bolsters as an option. Now the Elk scales. To me, could have been better matched along the spine. On one side it doesn't fill the frame. So flat, rivets would have looked good. Initials are cool but very light. Pricey knife but fun to have. I would design another one. And probably will. Fun if you have the bucks. Get it? S.D.
Also want to mention that this knife is finished beautifully and besides, how many places can you go to design your own American made classic tradition? Kudos BUCK!
After $200 and 5+ weeks of waiting for my personalized ranger knife I recieved it. Eager to open the box, I did so and was greatly surprised as I looked at the customization of my knife. Instead of engraving AMC the engraving read AMG. The G must be for Genius at work. No this was not a mistake on my part, as I took a screen shot of my previewed knife during my order when it was placed. Now I was told they will "buff" it out and redo it. BS for $200 bucks on a knife I should be getting a new bolster, not one buffed. I should also be getting expedited shipping on the return package. Buck Knives you guys and gals must be kidding me. This is not quality service. At all.
For me the dimensions of this knife are almost perfect. I have large hands but prefer to work with a shorter blade, under 4". As a result I find that most hunting knives have either a blade that is a little too long, or a handle that is a little to small. More than any other knife I've used this knife seems to be sized just right, both the handle and the blade. I've used it for everything from cleaning fish, to quartering moose and elk. The steel is good enough to handle most jobs, it wont quarter an elk without needing a touch up at partway through, but it will dress and skin a deer with only a few swipes needed to bring it back to shaving sharp. Its plenty of knife for anything you can reasonably ask of it.
I ordered a custom knife and the quality, of course, is fantastic. The knife is beautiful and high quality. However, when it comes to the sheath, they got as cheap as all get out, and the sheath has stained the knife after only a couple months. Great knife, get a better sheath for it and you'll be happy forever.
I order the custom 112 with the black blade. When I received the knife part of the spine was not black. It was the silverish color of the usual 420HC blade. I got in touch with buck and was told that their normal procedure was to sand the blade when finishing it. And that this can remove the black oxide from the spine. And they did not offer to do anything I have other knives with black blades. None have even the slightest spot where the black is missing, including on the spine. When you pay $150 for a knife, it should be the way you order it.

The Ouchi Illusion Revamped
The Ouchi illusion is an illusion named after its inventor, Japanese artist Hajime Ouchi. It works in a way where the central disk seems to float above the checkered background when moving the eyes around while viewing the figure. Scrolling the image horizontally or vertically provides a much stronger effect. In this version titled "Ouchi Quintuplets" from author Kentra Gilbert, the effect is amplified even stronger! If you're asking yourself what causes this strange phenomenon, well the illusion is caused by random eye movements, which are independent in the horizontal and vertical directions. However, the two types of patterns in the figure nearly eliminate the effect of the eye movements parallel to each type of pattern. Consequently, the neurons stimulated by the disk convey the signal that the disk jitters due to the horizontal component of the eye movements, while the neurons stimulated by the background convey the signal that movements are due to the independent vertical component. Since the two regions jitter independently, the brain interprets the regions as corresponding to separate independent objects (Olveczky et al. 2003).

Yesterday I met my doctor and loved him! I've worked so hard to loose weight and quit smoking. This is my treat plus I always wanted the surgery. For some reason I have to get a mammogram next Wednesday but okay? I think I'm more freaked out about that right now. Probably tomorrow I'll start to freak out about the surgery when I do labs and get my scripts.
30 Yrs Old...5'7 158 Lbs..... So Ready to Have my Body Proportionate! 600/650 Cc - Clearwater, FL
Yesterday I met my doctor and loved him! I've...
Edit: no family history of breast cancer why mammogram at 30?
It's just strange to me that I have to have a mammogram. I asked my PS today and they said it's to create a baseline. I still have friends older than me in which it was not required. I have extreme anxiety he knows about so it's making me question is something wrong? I do have one breast larger than the other. They estimated about 50 cc. I wear a 38c now.
3 more days until surgery and I can barely sleep from nightmares. I feel like I just want to get it over with. Not knowing what to expect is driving me crazy. Hoping the next few days go by fast.
It's time!
I've been waiting about 30 minutes and starving! The anticipation is driving me crazy. I want to get it done already. I cannot wait to meet my new girls.
Holy Molly Pain
This morning was post op day 1 . I am doing alot better. The surgery hurt worse than anything I've had (bi-lateral knee surgery) I'm still coughing from the throat tube which makes my chest hurt more. The pressure is so tight. Yesterday I was in tears from pain. My PS called in Demerol and it helped alot. The percoset just wasn't helping. My first P/O visit was this morning and he said things are looking great. Just keep up the meds and do not use your arms ect. He removed the tight ace bandage and put on a sports brace. Then re-applied the ace bandage. I really don't like that thing. I have another follow up apt. next week. Hoping I can do more on my own by them. My scripts make me very sleepy: pain, anti-nausea, anti-biotic and muscle relaxers. He ended up doing exactly what we discussed saline HP with 600cc on one side and 650cc on 2nd. I was told I cannot get my stitches wet or take full showers for 4 weeks. This should be fun lol Oh...almost forgot Im getting sharp pains in my incision area but I showed the PS and he said it was normal. Trying so sleep comfortable is difficult.
Can't sleep. ....whole body hurts. I wish there was a quick fix.
My boobs just keep swelling and turning into that torpedo look.
less pain finally!
This morning I finally woke up in less pain. Morning boob still sucks lol. So I'm going to try a sponge bath today :-) I do not get my stitches out until my 3 week mark. How did you ladies wash your hair with t - Rex arms? Let the obstacles begin :-)
1 week post op
Finally the pain is only the muscle spasms. Saw the Dr. today and asked about all the extra junk on the sides of the girls....apparently it's the implants! They get smashed until I d&f? Lol I do not start massaging until 6 weeks. He also explained why I was in more pain than most.... due to tight muscles and no kids. I really didn't think about that. Still no driving :-( He gave me more scripts for muscle relaxers and demerol which I thought was strange but I guess in the next few weeks when they drop my muscles will resist so "just in case I need them". I've never had so many prescriptions in my cabinet. I feel like a pharmacist. Sleeping still sucks but at least I'm mobile now. Picked up some more sports bras will post pics soon.
2 week post op pics
I'm PMSing! No...... they hurt so bad now. I never thought of what that would be like. They feel 10 pounds heavier lol I tried on these comfy sports bras from walmart that are DD and they are too small. Now I'm really curious what I will be when they d&f.

Project DescriptionRob Paulus Architects • There's something inherently satisfying in a good makeover—the diamond in the rough, buffed and shined. If Eliza Doolittle had her Henry Higgins, then the disused auto repair shop on a dusty Tucson, Ariz., street had Rob Paulus. His design team adapted what was on site, transforming the utilitarian building surrounded by gravelly asphalt into a 4,300-square-foot design office with a landscaped courtyard for the firm.
Constructed in 1978, the existing metal panel building was never a beauty, but it did have an efficient steel structural system. Paulus kept the steel frame, added a new aluminum skin, and heavily insulated the walls against the brutal Arizona sun. There's also a new energy-efficient roof and shaded skylights. Along the north façade, large glass windows take the place of the roll-up doors that used to lead into what was the repair shop; CAD monkeys have replaced grease monkeys inside the modern, open office. An undulating wood-slat ceiling hovers over the workstations, mitigating sound and taking the edge off of the angular steel structure that denotes the building's industrial past.
Calling the project "very intelligent," the jury was struck by how much of the original structure was repurposed and up-cycled. "I thought they took sustainability really seriously on multiple levels, from adaptive reuse to the systems to the landscaping," Yolande Daniels said. The roll-up doors and leftover structure became a fence on the property, and a demolished CMU wall and steel from an old overhang were transformed into organic garden beds planted with native species (and watered by an onsite water collection system). On-grade parking remained in place, while an old concrete apron was busted up and the pieces used as a mosaic sidewalk. Even the outdoor sculpture was reclaimed: A dramatic cylinder in the garden is actually an old jet cowling. "The thing that appeals to me so much about adaptive reuse is that it's a timely subject," Bill Valentine said. "Frankly, it's a part of a cultural change toward not wasting."

DELHI, INDIA, March 1, 2001: Every new mother lovingly wants their infant to sleep well and grow to their potential physically. Dr. K. N. Agarwal recently published an article in the Indian Journal of Medical Research that advocates oil massage to advance these two goals for your child. The oil massage is an ancient practice in India, and detailed in the Ayurveda texts. In a study conducted at the University College of Medical Sciences in Delhi, four groups of infants receiving a 10-minute massage on a daily basis were compared to a control group that did not receive the massage. After four weeks the groups who received oil massages had gained weight, height and increased head, arm and leg circumference. The increases compared to the control group were significant and measurable. With the added boon of contented sleep, babies receiving massage had increased blood flow and levels of growth hormones in their systems.

Ben Affleck And Matt Damon Working On A Wife-Swapping Movie
My, how far Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have come together in the past 13 years. They've gone from being 20-something bachelors doodling math equations on mirrors to both being stand-up citizens with wives and multiple children. So I kind of love that their next movie together is about … two friends who swap wives. "The Trade"—which Ben is writing with his younger brother Casey, and in which he will presumably star alongside Matt—tells the real-life story of two Yankees pitchers in the 1970s, Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, who decided to trade wives. Mrs. Peterson moved in with Kekich while Mrs. Kekich went to sharing a bed with Peterson. When word got out about the situation, a scandal erupted. Apparently, Suzanne Kekich and Fritz Peterson stayed a couple and are still living together in New Jersey. But Mike Kekich—who has since remarried and moved to New Mexico — is pissed about the possible movie. "Kekich is panic-stricken," a source tells the NY Post. "He has moved away and has a new identity. He is freaked out that those working on the movie found out where he is. He isn't too keen on having the scandal dredged up again after all this time."
Several women are currently being considered to play the two wives. Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, and Rebecca Hall are apparently frontrunners. Though I have a feeling that in real life, these guys will stay with their respective spouses. Though Jennifer Garner and Luciana Bozan do look a touch alike. Just sayin'. [NY Post]

Home > Opinion > Geoff Kitney > Article
The PM cannot be let off the hook over his citing of Iraq's WMDs as a casus belli, Geoff Kitney writes.
"Does it get much better than this," the Prime Minister said to the soldier as he embraced him exuberantly and almost did his own version of the Martin Place peace dancer, the famous photographic image of Sydney's joy at the news of the end of World War II.
It was the troops' day, he said, but it was John Howard's day, too. Never before in Australia has an armed forces homecoming had such meaning for just one politician. He, almost alone, had made the Iraq war an Australian war and the troops' military triumph was a political triumph for Howard.
In the eyes of some, the Prime Minister who stood on the podium in George Street on Wednesday to bask in the reflected glory of a bloodless victory for the Australian military was stark naked, stripped bare of credibility for deceiving the nation about the reasons he sent them to fight.
But not to the adoring crowds who lined the streets to join the welcome and to thank our boys and girls for doing their duty to protect Australia. To them and to a large part of the community it matters hardly a jot that the fundamental reason Howard gave for committing to the war - the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction program - is becoming more threadbare.
As the gruesome images of ever growing numbers of corpses being pulled from mass graves by hysterical relatives add new layers to our understanding of the barbarity of Saddam's rule, Australia's role in the war and Howard's leadership in pushing it look increasingly honourable to the electorate. Those who try to argue that it was wrong to go to war on a lie or a mistaken belief are being drowned out by the cheers for the troops.
So should those who still think the case for going to war in Iraq was dishonestly made, or insufficient to justify involvement, shut up? Should they accept that this is a case where the ends totally justify the means?
The answer has to be a resounding no. Whatever history's ultimate judgement about the war - and that must await the the postwar evolution of Iraq and the consequences of the conflict - the obligation of those whose role it is to keep accountable those who wield the power to take nations to war remains constant.
The question of the standards of performance by the nation's intelligence and security agencies - and the political and military leaders who acted on their information and advice - is an extremely important one for a democratic society.
To demand answers to the questions that hang over the processes of intelligence gathering, analysis and political interpretation relating to Iraq's WMDs - and about the threat of terrorism in Bali - is the obligation of the Opposition and the media. It may be unpopular, now that the war is popular. It will certainly bring accusations of pursuing leftist and anti-Howard agendas (because some of those leading the charge are motivated by such things). But it has to be done.
Howard this week responded to the demands for inquiries into apparent intelligence failures with typical uncompromising rhetoric: he accused those challenging the case he made for war of "wanting Saddam Hussein back".
But it was a cheap shot. Who in the community would believe that anyone in their right mind would disagree that Iraq is better off without Saddam?
Whether this ultimately means that the Iraqis will live in a democratic and prosperous nation and whether it was a strategic masterstroke or a mistake for a US-led force to invade Iraq will not be known for a long time. But one less murderous tyrant in the world is unquestionably a good thing. That Saddam was evil, though, does not mean that nothing else matters.
It does matter if the decisions of the leaders of the US, Britain and Australia to use military force to remove him were based on seriously flawed intelligence information. If Saddam had disposed of his WMDs long before the intelligence agencies believed that he still had them and that he was still working to get new and potentially more devastating weapons, advice then used to provide the legal basis for an invasion, this was a seriously alarming misjudgment.
If the agencies were advising their governments that they had suspicions and circumstantial evidence only and the governments then deliberately exaggerated or misrepresented this advice to establish a legal basis for invading, for other reasons they were not prepared to declare, that is even more alarming.
The one thing we do know for sure now is that what has so far been found on the ground in Iraq, despite the efforts of more than 1000 investigators, simply does not match what was claimed to exist as justification to invade. The facts as we know now the war is over do not support the assertions made before it was declared.
We could wait, as Howard has urged, to give the investigators time to find the evidence. That is not an unreasonable request, just as it wasn't an unreasonable request by those who argued for more time for inspections before the war. But the credibility gap must be closed either by finding the evidence or acknowledging that there were failures that will have to be dealt with.
If it is the case that the Western world's intelligence networks made a huge mistake by overestimating the threat from Iraq, the community could not be confident that it might not just as easily make huge mistakes about underestimating other threats. We certainly need to be reassured that they are capable of accurately assessing what is going on in North Korea, now the world's most dangerous flashpoint.
In the more dangerous world in which we now live, the role of intelligence agencies in detecting potential threats is even more vital. The community is being asked to accept some erosion in its freedoms because of the increased danger.
It is entitled to expect in return that the agencies are up to the job and in Australia the Government has a duty to allow the scrutiny necessary to provide this reassurance, even if it involves potential political embarrassment.

I want candy. You want candy. Deep down inside, in a private place, doesn't everyone? If you haven't outgrown the excitement of opening up your Halloween bag after a night of extorting your neighbors for sugary treats, take yourself and your weakness to Sugarlicious in Cherry Creek North, where confections of every kind, from chocolate-covered Gummi bears to Pez, spill over from 250 plastic bins along the wall. It's also the place for the sweetest party favors and hostess gifts, and sisters Jill Landman Alfond (the owner) and Stacey Landman (the manager) are also set up to help customers plan dessert buffets for parties and weddings. The bottom line is that you don't have to be Creekish to stop in for a secret stash of wax candy bottles and Nunu's chocolates. Sugarlicious is for everyone.

An icon of Colorado's medical marijuana scene, Twirling Hippy Confections owner Jessica LeRoux was baking and selling her special cheesecakes and developing a following years before the medical marijuana industry took hold. But even with the transition to a commercial kitchen, her recipes are still some of the most delicious around. Her seasonal cheesecakes — like pumpkin pie around Halloween and Palisade Peach in August — have become fan favorites, but we love the simplicity of her traditional chocolate-and-caramel turtles, dubbed "Terrapins."
Clothing designer Tina Joliffe and artist Vincent "Cheap" Fasano needed a place where they could combine their eclectic interests under one roof. They found it in Fast Geek Boutique, where Joliffe's cute frocks and Fasano's outsider art are both part of the decor, along with a mélange of accessories and sewing supplies. That alone would seem enough to fill the boutique's close quarters, but there's more: books and zines from Fast Geek Press (including poetry by Vincent's twin brother, Charly), cassette tapes by Analog Empire, artwork by found-object assemblage artist Heretik and local-music recordings from Suburban Home Records. And if that's not enough for you, Fast Geek also now houses 2011 Best of Denver winner eyeLAB, an eyeglass service offering trendy prescription eyewear on a sliding-scale basis. Now, swallow your shrinking pill like a good little Alice and walk in the door.
No matter where you rank psychics on the bullshit scale, local spirit-charmer Lawrence Woodson is good for an afternoon of personal reflection. With a family history in the business and sixteen years of experience on his own, Woodson moves past the crystal-ball shtick and into therapy territory by using his clients' personalities and histories to reinterpret them in the animal kingdom. Incense, deep conversation and lots of shut-eyed imagination all feature in his $45 attempts to match people with their animals. Woodson himself is a coyote, while members of the military, he says, are often chimpanzees. In rare cases, it's possible to have two animal spirits, but don't worry: Woodson doesn't charge extra.

Good evening: I have replaced all receptacles in teh past 3 homes I owned. Recently bought a home built in 1968. I attempted to replace the kitchen receptacles with GFCIs. However, when I pulled the existing receptaclres from their boxes, each contains 2 black, 2 white and 2 red wires. I assume the red are hot like the black, but what are they and how do I wire the line and load of the GFCI?
Thank you for your time.

Morocco's goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, who also plays for the Spanish team Atletico Madrid said, "We must fast because this is an obligation and I think that God will help us on the day of the games."
Morocco drew with Honduras 2-2 in today's opening match.


text: Hi Steve. I think you have hit on the issue here, you ask what format the user wants. Obviously selling products such as the Sonus 1 XT or Olympus DS30 through main stream suppliers is a bit different. while accessible instructions would be nice and it would be good if staff did ask, we all know that the reality is that this may not happen so providing a CD with both audio instructions and the text of the manual is a solution that should address the needs of the vast majority of users. There are however clearly situations where Braille instructions would be required or tapes would be required. It would be helpful if manufacturers could have a code of practice providing a means by which people could acces something other than a printed instruction book or a pdf of same book if required.

But I can also see the other side. If you offer something by default in an alternative format, what format do you offer it in? If you give someone a tape, they may not have a tape recorder. Unlikely, but I have come across it. If you give someone a CD player, they may not have the machine to play it on. Give them a Daisy book, and again the same applies. Give them Braille, and they may not be able to read it. So while I fully agree with you, what alternative format do you give them by default? And I stress by default. If I sell you a Colorino, I know you have a computer, so I can Email you the instructions. But what would be the point in my giving you large print by default, if I know you are totally blind? I would ask someone what their format of choice would be and try to comply as best I can. But the default access method worries me. If you give it to most, but not all, blind people, then at least someone sighted may be able to read the print in the family, as a stop gap, until they can request that alternative format. So I favour the individual requesting the format of choice, then hopefully, but not always admittedly, they get it. All the best Steve _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 18 October 2007 09:41 To: Access UK Mailing List Subject: [access-uk] Buying specialist technology without accessible instructions On the subject of buying specialist technology with inaccessible instructions, I'll be very careful how I phrase this because it's something I've beefed about for years, and it still goes on. In my personal and humble opinion, wherever a company - no matter who that retailer is - sells a product or service to someone with a visual impairment, the instructions accompanying that item should be in an alternative format to standard print. How can we have the DDA in this country if those who have direct influence to ensure accessibility is met don't in fact comply? We have invested a lot of money on access technology over the years, yet I still find myself having to request materials in my preferred format. Using the examples of both the Colorino and talking tape measure from Caretec, neither has accessible instructions, even though I have sussed out how to use them satisfactorily. But that isn't the point. If I could read the instructions, I could surely see to use an ordinary measure and not need a detector to tell me my colours? That's where I'm coming from anyway, and I mean no disrespect to any retailer or individual on the list. Most companies that deal with specialist equipment do offer alternative formats, whether it be through intuitive help on the device itself, or instructions and quick start references that accompany it. But there is still an issue with this.

fishing in Northern Minnesota can quickly replace the monotony of
winter with some wild and intense fun. Whether you want to hang out
with your buddies, or entertain the family, ice fishing is a great
hobby for all ages. During winter, the fishing here is excellent and
the quality of the fillets is incomparable. All you need to get
started is an ice auger, a general understanding of the lake, the
fish you are pursuing, and the proper bait and tackle. Little
Winnie Resort offers a full selection of ice fishing tackle, bait
and equipment - plus the knowledge to always put you on the ice
where the hot bite for walleye, jumbo perch or crappie is.
Whether you want to fish Lake Winnibigoshish, Little Winnie,
Bowstring Lake, Sand Lake, Round Lake or even travel up to Red Lake
or Cass Lake, we have the central location and comfortable lodging
to keep you coming back year after year. Give us a call today
to book your cabin - 1-800-246-8501.
Fishing Basics: Your primary ice fishing equipment should
include: safety equipment, an ice chisel, an ice auger or drill with
sharp blades, an ice scooper for removing ice from the hole, a chair
or bucket to sit on, a trash bag or a bucket for fish and litter,
and, of course your rod, reel and tackle. The ice chisel is
for testing thin ice, chipping holes and widening your fishing hole
once it is cleared. It is also useful to keep the hole free of ice.
The auger will allow you to make additional holes during the course
of the day. You may want to consider some optional equipment
including: an ice house or wind break (check with your resort to see
what is available), portable fish locator, an extra pair of dry
gloves, portable heater, fishing map, food, warm beverage, rod
holder to keep your outfit off of the ice, shovel to remove deep
snow and a sled to transport all of the equipment. Ice fishing is
ideal just after the first solid freeze, but there are
more than
enough fish to go around all winter long. Always keep safety in
mind! Before going out on the lake, determine the safety of the ice,
look for other ice fishermen and use your ice chisel to test the ice
as you move outward from the bank. The best drilling spot is
determined by how long the lake has been frozen, its depth, your
familiarity with the underwater structure, and the time of winter
you are fishing.
Some experienced anglers prefer
deeper lakes for ice fishing. They believe the best fishing lasts
longer and is more consistent from first ice through late March.
Typically, deeper lakes are more productive than shallow ones during
winter. The fish are usually in the 20-foot to 40-foot range and
holding near sunken timber, gravel bars, deep points and the bottom.
The hottest bite in early and late winter is often found at 15 to 20
feet. Shortly after first ice, walleyes, perch and sunfish are
extremely active and can be found on or around weed-lines, deep
points or drop-offs. In late winter, melting snow brings the fish
back into shallower water.
Ice fishing tackle
differs from your spring and summer gear. Ice fishing rods must be
short and solid with large graphite eyes, because ice forms on the
eyes. Many anglers use spin-casting reels that are resistant to ice
formation on the spool and are easier to use when you have cold,
stiff fingers. Jigs and minnows are the standard bait. The key
element to good bait is action and scent; some fishermen like to put
minnows on their jigs. Like humans, the fish are more lethargic in
the winter and will approach the bait cautiously and take it slowly.
most popular species to catch in winter are walleyes and panfish,
such as jumbo perch, bluegills and crappies. Bluegills and sunfish
gather in schools and can be caught during the day. Crappies and
walleyes bite well just before sundown. You can catch northern and
trout any time of day. You can also try to catch muskies and bass,
although they don't seem to bite as actively as other game fish.
Game fish swim in many different lake types in the Northland.
Certain species thrive in rivers, lakes and reservoirs because
special conditions are present for their existence. Rivers are the
most abundant, and produce the widest variety of game fish species.
The large shallow sand bottom lakes and bays are normally best
suited for walleye & perch, while the shallow weedy lakes and bays
are better suited for largemouth bass, panfish and northern pike.
No matter what the season, an angler needs to
look for fish in areas that provide the oxygen, food and water
temperatures necessary for survival. Location is vital when ice
fishing, as fish tend to concentrate in smaller, more specific
water. A portable fish locator makes the mission of finding a prime
location much easier. Never go out on the ice without investigating
the most recent ice conditions. Before fishing on a lake for the
first time, learn as much about it as possible by questioning local
bait shops, fishing guides, resort owners, and other fisherman.
Focus your efforts on a lake that is known to contain a good
population of the species you wish to pursue.
Whether you seek challenge or just relaxation, ice fishing is an
excellent winter sport. It doesnഡke long to get ﯫedﮠice
Important - make sure you carry your
Fishing License and Proper Identification along with you.

EVESHAM maintained their unbeaten start to the season in Midlands Three West (South) with a 32-28 win at Woodrush.
After close early exchanges, good work from Evesham's back row gave good field position and the ball was spun to Carl Robinson who coolly slotted a drop goal.
Woodrush responded quickly, however, and went over in the corner for an unconverted try.
The end-to-end action continued and a solid scrummage led by the front row of Josh Greatrix, Kerren Lippett and Stock gave a good platform for Sam Garrett to link with Mike Diston who kicked through, finding Stef Lasota to touch down and Evesham regain the lead at 8-5.
Evesham took their foot off the gas and good forward pressure from Woodrush led to a bundled converted score followed by two in quick succession to leave the visitors trailing 22-8.
The second-half began lively for Evesham with the likes of Corbett and Sam Huckvale gaining territory.
This was rewarded as Corbett burst through the centres and, after a quick onetwo with Ben Dziczkaniece, raced away to score under the posts. Diston converted.
Evesham continued their onslaught and good line-out work from the Smart brothers, Stuart and Clive, in the second row gave great field position for Corbett to take it blind and kick inside for Robinson to dive over for his second.
Woodrush upped their game and a stretched Evesham defence fell at the hands of the fly-half who ran in a score of his own.
Once again there was a response and the solid centre partnership of James Bowen and Robinson made ground and it was the latter who offloaded to Darren Hunter returning from a lengthy lay-off to score. Diston converted for 27-25.
Evesham's concentration lapsed and from the kick-off a penalty was awarded which Woodrush duly converted giving them a point lead with minutes to play.
After reclaiming possession from the kick-off, Evesham played the phases earning penalty opportunities pushed wide by Diston.
Evesham recoverd, however, when Hunter chased a kick over the top for a dramatic late winning score.

Kind of cool
By WPJuggernaut
from Saratoga Springs, NY
This is the first year that we have owned a tree carousel. It is so nice to see the tree from all sides. It is also a great conversation piece. Two complaints: 1)Pauses at times and 2)Very narrow opening for pole of tree. We accidentally placed the middle section of our tree in the carousel. When we realized our mistake the only way to get it out was for me to hold the base down while my husband pulled the tree out. When the tree finally came out it swung and hit me in the face giving me a black eye, SO BE CAREFUL!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The CHRISTMAS rotating tree stand is a great device to display your tree. The tree stand rotates, so it allows one to enjoy the beauty of the entire tree. If you use bulbs, the rotating stand allows one to see all your beautiful bulbs as the tree rotates. It would be nice if the manufactures could add a music box within the stand to play select Christmas tunes like Silent Night. The tree stand does allow you to readily support a Christmas tree with attached lights or lights you may add to the tree yourself since at the base of the stand there are 2 electrical outlets that allow the wires to be attached within the base. Since the 2 electrical outlets rotate with the base, the wire hookup for a Christmas tree with lights works great.
Doesn't Fit!
By janadol
from Framingham, MA
I think this product could be wonderful if your tree fits into it. I just purchased a new Christmas tree from Hammacher Schlemmer along with this carousel stand. When I was buying the tree, this stand came up at the bottom of the screen (you might also be interested in...). I thought it would be perfect since the tree is rather wide and will partially block a doorway. Instead of having to leave about 18" between the tree and the wall so the back could be decorated, I could have it very close to the wall and just turn it on to decorate the other side. It would save space and look great too. However, when I received everything, the tree pole did not fit into the stand. The description for the stand said it fits poles up to 1.25" but the tree description said nothing about the diameter of the pole. The instructions for the stand said that if it doesn't fit properly, call customer service. I had to wait until Monday but I was hopeful that they had a larger collar for the pole. When I spoke to them, they just said no, it wouldn't work. Sadly, I had to return the stand. Because of this, I hope the tree still will work for me, since it must extend further into the doorway than I had hoped.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate feedback we receive that helps us to improve our product descriptions.

Wasatch School District Superintendent Terry Shoemaker has been named Utah School Superintendent of the Year.
Shoemaker will receive the award Monday at a meeting of the Utah School Superintendents Association, which gives out the award.
The honoree has been a public educator since 1979, a news release said, adding Shoemaker has worked in the Jordan and Provo districts in addition to Wasatch.
He was a teacher, curriculum specialist, principal and personnel director before his appointment as Wasatch superintendent in 2001, the release said.
Notably, Shoemaker is behind a digital conversion effort in his district that equips students in grades five through eight with laptops they use for school and homework.
"As important as the access to computers is, the excellent digital curriculum and the job embedded professional development in digital friendly classrooms are critical to the success of Wasatch educators and students," Patti Harrington, executive director of the USSA, said in the news release. "This initiative is typical of the innovation that Terry has always advanced in his career."
In addition to his work as a superintendent, Shoemaker is a member of the Utah Valley University board of trustees, according to the release. He also is on the board of Wasatch Community Foundation and serves on the Joint Legislative Committee representing superintendents and school board members statewide.

Anatomy Of The Enterprise Octopus
Some of you may have read the original Enterprise Octopus post, which introduced the icon and explained the difference between The Enterprise Octopus (people-centric work) and The Enterprise Filing Cabinet (file-centric work). I wanted to take this further by turning on the x-ray and giving you a look at what's inside both scenarios. First, let's start with "the two Me's:"
The Enterprise Filing Cabinet
Most companies live and work in the Enterprise Filing Cabinet. They live in a pile of documents, with only a personal typewriter, calendar, mail, flip chart and calculator as tools for working with others. People receive tons of files, paper-clipped to tons of emails. Then they have to launch lots of applications to read those files. It's not clear where to find anything, what's happening, who knows what, and if it's been done before. Like your co-workers, customers and partners are walled off in a completely different universe from you.
The Enterprise Octopus
The Enterprise Octopus turns things right-side up. It introduces a geographic head to the Enterprise and it's in the head where all the improvement occurs. First and foremost, note that it's a mix of all stakeholders occupying the head. That includes employees, partners, and customers. They're all in there. They can see each other. Connect to each other. Work with each other. And since the "new me" has a radar for a head, I know how and where to focus my attention with any of these people. The head is where the real future IP is (both the "me" head and the Octopus head). It may be hard to think of this in future-terms now, but I can imagine all sorts of new innovation in the head.
For you octopus-knowledgeable, the arms of an octopus literally have minds of their own and The Enterprise Octopus is no exception. The arms are not in the head but they are an important part of the system. They're utilities. They connect to old and existing systems. In this case, they know where to reach to accomplish three different activities:
1. File. The Octopus knows where to reach to grab the right file and retrieve it for socialization. Equally, it knows just where to deposit something now that it has been created by the social group. The filing cabinet can then do what it does best, manage files.
2. Compute. There are times when the The Enterprise Octopus needs to use an arm to crunch numbers. Particularly to analyze what's happening within the head. But sometimes its purely to deposit important data into other number crunching systems (e.g. an ERP system).
3. Deliver. This arm sends and receives. It can receive email or other inputs and it can equally send out important notifications from the head to other systems or people working in Enterprise Filing Cabinets.
I rekon you could call this my version of Andrew McAfee's SLATES, by that I mean a framework where future people-centric innovation needs to occur. You could call it "Enterprise 2.0″ but then you'd be using a buzzword. You could think in terms of existing tools but then you'd be looking backwards. The industry needs to evolve to value COLORS more than they do today, to think bigger, to solve the people-centric problems of the Enterprise. Doing so means better/faster/more agile companies who produce better products, services and revenue. Yes, I understand that there are cultural ramifications to all this "co" stuff. But it's happening bit by bit, as much as we think it may never get there. And the key is to make all this so friction-free-usable that people actually want to participate. That said, it's pretty easy to be a Norman on this stuff.
At the heart of most of the early value has been the notion around co-Creation. For example, we're both working on a doc or a spreadsheet. But we need more obvious places to be able to co-create based on our current and/or missing behavior. There should be easier ways to identify when creation is already occurring and easier ways to jump in with your half-baked ingredients to help make that creation more valuable. Along with the other parts of COLORS, adding this value to my network ends up being how I'm measured as an employee. Are my contributions valuable and easily measured? Am I helping my network create? There's a lot more room for innovation for enabling this critical part of the head.
Fertile territory are tools for helping people-centric management. Literally, there's a new set of skills that managers need. How will they measure the train yard? How will they make decisions? What operations should be collaborative? I imagine new KPIs cross functional managers can use to help drive the business. Whatever new operations tools could emerge, they should be part of the head. Perhaps they are things like reputation scoring, the quality of co-created deliverables, or "repair" rate. Who knows. These could have scores. They could have visibility. They could help managers understand how effective their socially-driven team is and help them manage their own effectiveness at making the situation better.
There has to be better ways of surfacing real learning and having it be absorbed by the geographic center. Millions are wasted when institutional knowledge walks away and it's too hard to find what really matters. Company "universities" are siloed off. Project learning never makes it back into the system again. The wheel is recreated. We need easier ways to demarcate important scar tissue and have it be super visible. I can save tons by immediately learning what we've learned. We can grow much faster as an organization.
Think of this is way more effective baton passing. Formal workflows don't work. People need to know where things are and when it's right for them to engage. They even need to know how other people like to be engaged. Making sure the trains run on time is big business and things like social workflows and much easier coordination of work can make big gains for companies. I'd like to look into the head of the Octopus and know where the batons are, when it will be time for me to add value and how I can keep things most effectively moving.
Human Resources is the trump card in people-centric collaboration. Behavior is an often talked about critical ingredient to the evolution of the social productivity market. HR needs much better tools to be able to measure and enable a behavior-positive environment. They can help folks learn what's working and what's not working. How to be proficient, where to utilize their talents. How to engage more effectively. They can tap the reputation of the network and employ those resources where they're needed. They can provide intelligence to the execs they never had before. Reputation, behavior and network intelligence are yet-to-be-serviced aspects of the Octopus head.
There are a whole slew of solutions that we can develop around how we work with employees, partners, prospects and customers to jointly respond to and solve their problems. I think of this as MDRM (market development relationship management). It's a new collaborative layer on top of CRM that provides a way to respond to and engage with the outside world in a way that makes sense for product development, sales, marketing and operations.
This is merely an idea, meant for refinement.
I don't mean any of this to be overly prescriptive. It's merely a framework for how I think of future innovation within the Enterprise Octopus head. I welcome folks to refine, blow up or otherwise improve any or all of these notions.

Thumbs Up Wine visits THE CASTLE!
Recently, Joe and Matt of Thumbs Up Wine paid a visit to the Castello, and had a blast making this fantastic video. It's THE CASTLE!
Matt and Joe from Thumbs Up Wine
"If you're coming to the Napa Valley either for a day or for a week, there are certain things you have to see. We call them the Seven Wonders of the World, and this is one of them: THE CASTLE!" - Joe, Thumbs Up Wine
Toasting our Il Barone with Dario
The Thumbs Up Crew with Dario
Thank you Matt and Joe for such a great review of the Castello! We're looking forward to your next visit!
93 points from The Wine Enthusiast for the 2008 La Castellana
Castello di Amorosa's 2008 La Castellana Super Tuscan Blend
93 points, The Wine Enthusiast, May 2013
Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a splash of Sangiovese, this super Tuscan-style blend is powerful in every respect. It shows massively concentrated blackberry and crème de cassis flavors, with notes of dark chocolate and spices. The oak is rich and toasty, the tannins thick but as soft as silk, and the acidity lively enough to give all this richness a racy hit. Best enjoyed now and over the next 2–3 years for sheer Napa exuberance.

Merlot, Part 1 - A Sideways Glance
I have always rooted for the underdog, drawn to the dark horse; sure things and odds on favorites need not apply…..My Dad would have said being a Dodger fan has taken its toll. And so it goes; when it comes to wines my preference also leans to the runner-up. I often pass on the popular choice and instead, opt for its viticulture next of kin. When Cabernet Sauvignon is what's for dinner, trust I will be sipping Merlot.
Not to say dark brooding Cabernet isn't tempting with its flirtatious undertones of blackberry, cassis, dark cherry and chocolate…..wait…..am I describing Merlot? Yes. In fact, on a palate chart Cabernet and Merlot are kissing cousins and easily confused. If you want to have some fun, (admittedly wine-geeky fun) invite a few friends for a blind-tasting featuring Cabernet and Merlot. Make certain the wines are of similar pedigree, bottles in the $25 to $45 price range offer worthy contenders. Castello di Amorosa's 2006 and 2008 Merlot are two of my favorite wines produced by Brooks Painter and his Castello team. Put these beauties in the lineup and even in the presence of well-seasoned palates, I predict a dead heat; a 50/50 split. In tasting panels Merlot is said to possess a softness or a roundness not typically associated with Cabernet. Why then the ridicule for this benevolent cultivar, which is, in fact, the most widely planted grape in all of France!? (Sacre bleu). Truth be told, Merlot is prolific in many regions and quite possibly this is at the root of its undoing.
Merlot could wear the banner "Just Because You Can Grow Something Doesn't Mean You Should" but we'll cover geography in Part 2. This over-abundance and plenitude eventually lead to Merlot becoming the marketing darling of the 90's. Finally a wine our thick American tongues could pronounce. (I wonder how many "peanut noyas" were ordered?) Restaurants eagerly filled their wine lockers with this fashionable red. However, this trend ran its course as the over-planted Merlot often bordered on insipid rather than inspiring and earned a "sideways" glance.
Seemingly overnight Merlot became 'persona non grata' in tasting rooms as an often quoted movie line rang through the wine country. Out went Merlot and in came the next grape of favor. (shh, don't tell me chateau Petrus!)
Well, fear not Merlot loving readers! Merlot is back with a vengeance and it's better than ever. Next I'll cover a few regions that are cultivating this classic with new vigor and excitement.
Until then, go drink some Merlot!

Ragin' Cajun spices things up at the Castello
On Saturday, April 20th, New Orleans came to the Castello for our Ragin' Cajun party. As the sun went down, the beads and beats came out, and the Castello was transformed into a sizzling scene full of live music, tarot readings, and hot and spicy Cajun foods paired with our Castello wines!
The main event featured Gator Beat, a high-energy Zydeco and New Orleans R&B band based out of Sonoma. They kept the Cajun beats going throughout the evening out in our courtyard, where guests dressed in their best Creole "style" danced the night away.
In all I'd say it was a "ragin'" success, but you can see for yourself in the photos below!
You know it's going to be a great night when Fantasia is flowing!

So many good things in one pot!
All of the delicious Creole cuisine at the party was provided for our guests by Oak Avenue Catering. Ca c'est bon!
Way to rock that New Orleans style!
The featured cocktail of the evening was the "Hurricane di Amorosa," a tantalizingly effervescent mix of our Fantasia with orange sorbet. Santé!
Who wants to hear their future? Tarot card readings in the chapel.
Feelin' the love!

2011 Napa Valley Chardonnay is the St. Helena Star's Wine of the Week
Wine of the Week: Castello di Amorosa 2011 Napa Valley Chardonnay
This is a crowd-pleaser of a chardonnay. It has nice aromas of vanilla and toffee along with flavors of red apple, pear and spice, which will appeal to lovers of oak-influenced chardonnays. Yet the wine is not over-oaked. It is balanced with a freshness that allows fans of crisper white wines to appreciate it as well. With this chardonnay ($28), you won't need to stress over which style to choose for your next dinner party.
Not only does Castello di Amorosa's winemaker, Brooks Painter, continue to roll out beautiful wines, but the winery's schedule is jam-packed with fun events. Next weekend there is the Ragin' Cajun Party followed by a Midsummer Medieval Festival, and then Hot Havana Nights — among many others. It is likely you will find something intriguing!

2009 Sangiovese is
Enofylz came to visit and chose the 2009 Sangiovese as Wine of the Week. With our thanks…here's an excerpt of the review, with more at the link below:
The fruit for this wine is primarily from the Castello di Amorosa estate. In addition to Sangiovese, this wine also includes a bit of Merlot. Carmine color with cherry, mushroom. and dried rose petal aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, and fresh with a smooth texture and sour cherry, strawberry, vanilla flavors with a savory undertone and a lengthy finish.
Rating: A- (90pts): I really enjoyed this wine. It has a nice balance of fruit, oak and earthiness.
Pair with: I enjoyed this wine with lasagna (if it grows together, it goes together after all;-), but don't limit your pairings to pizza and red-sauced pasta. Pair with caprese salad with fresh basil, Italian bread soup, wild mushroom risotto, rustic paella, grilled fare, and a variety of cheeses. For example consider pairing with mild blue-veined cheeses like Gorgonzola or Cambozola.

The Terroirist reviews our 2008 La Castellana
With our thanks to Terroirist for reviewing the 2008 La Castellana:
91 points: Intoxicating aromas of wild raspberries, sweet plums, some violets, fig paste and cedar. Fresh red and black fruits start off the palate, raspberry, plum, fig, even some notes of dried apricot. Flavors of soil, coffee, cedar and hazelnut add complexity. The tannins have smooth edges, making this easy to drink now, although I think it could be cellared for five years easily. The acid lingers onto the finish along subtle notes of vanilla bean and toast. A fruit-forward yet elegant blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 16% Sangiovese. Simply delicious

Our thanks to SipSwirlSavor for reviewing our Sangiovese:
A sensible Sangiovese from the Napa Valley
Italian grape varieties are fairly uncommon in the Napa Valley. That being said, the few Napa Sangioveses I've had in the past have tasted less like their Italian counterpart and more like a Napa Cabernet. Which made me wonder why a Napa winery would even bother making anything besides Cab. And yet, Castello di Amorosa has committed itself to producing Italian-style wines from Napa-grown grapes.
Charmed by the architecture and the chickens roaming the landscape, I felt transported to Tuscany when I visited the Castle in Calistoga for a brief tasting in 2010. Since then, the winery has hired a new consulting winemaker and the vineyards have matured in ways that do the Tuscan varieties justice.
I recently opened a bottle of the 2009 Castello di Amorosa Napa Valley Sangiovese. Upon my initial quaff, the wine was tight and restrained. I poured a little more through a WineSoiree and swirled it around in the glass while my eggplant parmesan warmed up in the oven. It wasn't long before this wine started singing a beautiful tune.
The perfume of rose petal, dried herbs and red cherry hits a very similar note to that of Chianti Classico. On the palate, notes of cranberry and currant shine alongside excellent acidity and dusty tannins. Despite it's Calistoga birthright, this wine definitely has an Old World sensibility.
The wine's high acid was the perfect match for the tomato sauce with my eggplant parmesan. It was a delightful pairing that continued to get better as the wine continued to flourish. By the end of my meal (and my second glass of wine), sweet aromas of black cherry and ripe plum dominated the nose of this medium-bodied Sangio. Rhubarb and cocoa became more pronounced on the palate, and the finish lingered with juicy cherry and spicy vanilla.
Talking about our Gewurztraminers
WineWiseWeb reviewed three of our 2011 Gewurztraminers: "…a trio of beautifully made 2011 Gewurztraminers from Dario Sattui's dream winery in Calistoga. Winemaker Brooks Painter shows his deft hand with the variety with three different styles…Gewurz brings different varietal characteristics forward at different sugar levels. Each of these wines delivers excellent quality and complexity of aroma and flavor….

Enofylz chooses La Castellana as
Our thanks to Enofylz for choosing the 2008 La Castellana as his Wine of the Week:
Here's a taste of his review:
"Every Thursday I feature a wine I particularly enjoy, whether it's something new and different, is a great value, or from a producer worth checking out. For this week, my Wine Of The Week is the 2008 Castello di Amorosa La Castellana. Opaque dark garnet color with aromatic dark red fruits, toasted oak,and spiced tobacco aromas. On the palate, it's voluptuous and smooth with well-integrated soft dusty tannins, good balance, and blackberry, plum, bittersweet chocolate, and spiced vanilla flavors. Long finish. Rating: A- (91pts). Pair with: Hearty fare such as grilled steak, sausages, Venison Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Shepherd's Pie, Braised Lamb Shanks, Veal Parmesan or Rigatoni with a wild boar ragú."

1.2 Educate DOT leadership on PEVs
Reason for action
Interest from leadership (e.g., division head, deputy secretary, secretary) can catalyze work on PEVs. Leaders in relatively flexible offices (e.g., public-private partnerships, innovative delivery, sustainability, or economic development) are best positioned to catalyze work on PEVs. Staff can build institutional knowledge, but stronger PEV efforts (i.e. Actor and Leader actions) require the support of top leadership within the agency. Spotlight: Washington State's Transportation Partnerships Office and Ohio's Office of Jobs and Commerce are leading work on PEVs within DOTs.
Implementing the action
DOT leadership and staff now have institutional knowledge that enables work on PEVs. The DOT staff could explore some of the other Learner actions and should eventually proceed to Action 1.4.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.1035 or 90.62 U.S. cents * Market eyes trade, jobs data due later this week * Bond prices lower across the maturity curve (Adds strategist's comment, updates prices to close) By Alastair Sharp TORONTO, April 2 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar ended little changed versus the greenback on Wednesday as investors focused on key economic reports due in Canada and the United States later this week. With the loonie, as Canada's currency is colloquially known, consolidating this week after recent gains, investors awaited North American employment reports on Friday to provide a catalyst for new market moves. "Heading into Friday's dual job reports in Canada and the U.S. there is some risk that Canada does outperform," said Greg Moore, senior currency strategist at Royal Bank of Canada. He said high expectations for U.S. jobs growth and overdone pessimism on Canada's could set the loonie up to strengthen to the low C$1.09s or even into the high C$1.08s in coming weeks. "We could see a deeper retracement in dollar/Canada just on the pricing out of that optimism on the U.S. and pessimism on Canada," Moore said. The Canadian dollar ended Wednesday's session at C$1.1035 to the greenback, or 90.62 U.S. cents, just slightly lower than Tuesday's close of C$1.1032, or 90.65 U.S. cents. Since dropping to a 4-1/2 year low nearly two weeks ago, the Canadian dollar has managed to recover some ground. Better-than-expected Canadian producer prices data gave the loonie a lift on Tuesday, and monthly Canadian trade figures are due on Thursday. "Right now we're seeing a market for U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar that's very range-bound, traders not wanting to take a large position either way until we see some more concrete domestic data later in the week," said Scott Smith, senior market analyst at Cambridge Mercantile Group in Calgary. Smith said it was unlikely the pair will break above the C$1.1050 to C$1.1060 area unless there is a surprise in Thursday's trade balance numbers or if something unexpected comes out of the European Central Bank's policy meeting, which is also on Thursday. Canadian government bond prices were lower across the maturity curve, with the two-year off 4 Canadian cents to yield 1.097 percent, and the benchmark 10-year down 46 Canadian cents to yield 2.548 percent.

Key Stats: Matt Jackson 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K; Dan Robertson 1-3, RS, BB; Sawyer Carroll 1-4, RBI, SB (7).
TUCSONMatt Jackson's first start above the High-A level was a magnificent one, as he pitched five shutout innings in the Padres 3-1 victory over the Las Vegas 51s Wednesday at Cashman Field. The Padres beat the 51s for just the third time in 12 tries this season and won their third game out of their last four in the process.
Neither side scored until the sixth inning, when Las Vegas shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria made two errors leading to two unearned runs. Las Vegas scored an unearned run in the bottom of the sixth inning on an error by Tucson shortstop Beamer Weems. The Padres added an insurance run in the top of the ninth inning on Sawyer Carroll's RBI single, scoring Anthony Contreras from first base. Contreras was running on the pitch and Carroll's single took Las Vegas right fielder Moises Sierra toward center field. When Sierra's throw was on its way to second base, Tucson manager Terry Kennedy sent Contreras home, which scored without a throw to the plate.
With Brad Brach in the Major Leagues, Erik Hamren took over the closer role and pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his fifth save.

NW Arkansas Naturals 2 – San Antonio Missions 4
Key Stats: Andrew Werner 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB,6 K; Jon Galvez 2-4, 2B, RS, 2 RBI; Nate Freiman 2-4, 2B, HR (17), 2 RBI; Edinson Rincon 3-4, 2 2B, RS.
San Antonio – The San Antonio Missions defeated the NW Arkansas Naturals 4-2 Wednesday In front of a sellout crowd at The Wolff on Wednesday evening the Missions continued their season high winning streak with their tenth win in a row.
The Naturals struck first on a solo home run to left off of Missions' starter Andrew Werner. Nate Freiman pulled the Missions even in the bottom of the frame with a homer of his own, his 17th of the season. .
The Naturals re-gained the lead in the fifth as Nate Freiman once again was the difference with a double down the left field line which plated Jonathan Galvez to make it 2-2.
In the seventh, Galvez came up with the bases loaded and he promptly singled to right to bring home Edison Rincon and catcher Ali Solis to give San Antonio a 4-2 advantage.
Werner allowed just four hits and two runs in six innings with two walks and six strikeouts but did not factor in the decision. .

If you were going to today's' game hoping to see a pitcher's duel you were sorely disappointed. Then again if you ever go to High Desert and expect to see a pitcher's duel, then you might as well expect to see a 10-9 game at Pepco. Anyway, it was 2-2 after four innings. The Storm scored six runs in the fifth inning and two runs in the sixth to take a commanding 10-4 lead. The Mavericks tied the game up in the seventh.
Fast forward to the eleventh inning and the Storm took an 11-10 lead on Eddy Rodriguez' second home run of the night.
With Quackenbush coming in the game was over… right? Unfortunately the Mavs found Quacks weakness, speed and defense. A bunt single and sacrifice put a runner on second with one out. The Mav's base runner then stole third with Storm catcher Rodriguez throwing the ball in to left field to tie the score.
However Connor Powers came in to pick up everyone up with a lead-off home run in the twelfth and this time Quackenbush retired the side in order to end the game.
The Storm have now improved to 11-3 in the second half and hold a three game lead over High Desert.
Bowling Green Hot Rods 1 – Fort Wayne TinCaps 8
Key Stats: Frank Garces 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 5 K; Jace Peterson 1-4, RS, 2 RBI; Austin Hedges 1-4, 2B, RBI.
FORT WAYNE, IN – A seven-run fourth inning helped the Fort Wayne TinCaps cruise to an 8-1 victory over the Bowling Green Hot Rods in their series opener on Wednesday night at Parkview Field. Frank Garces pitched five scoreless innings, giving him his fourth consecutive win and lowering his season ERA to 2.45.
Fort Wayne (9-4, 40-43) scored the game's first run on a second-inning double by catcher Austin Hedges. Duanel Jones scored from first base as Hedges turned on a pitch from Felipe Rivero (6-7) and drove it into the left field corner.
The 1-0 TinCaps advantage carried into the fourth inning when, for the fourth time this season and the second time since the All-Star break, Fort Wayne scored seven runs in an inning. Eleven batters came to the plate against Bowling Green (7-6, 45-38) righty Roberto Gomez. The inning featured run-scoring base hits by Tyler Stubblefield, Kyle Gaedele and Jace Peterson. Yeison Asencio drove in the frame's final run with a sacrifice fly. Bowling Green's only run came on a seventh-inning solo homer by Tyler Goeddel.
Garces (5-4) surrendered three hits in his outing, and over his last four starts has surrendered just one earned run in 20 innings, while striking out 19 and walking eight. James Jones, Luis De La Cruz and Daniel Cropper all pitched in relief.
