Get to Know Portuguese Wine With These Four Perfect Pairings
Get to Know Portuguese Wine With These Four Perfect Pairings
Posted October 16, 2015
Stacy Brody
You need to start drinking Portuguese wines. Like now. Try a vinho verde with a light lunch. Or maybe a nice red with dinner tonight. I'll forgive you if you wait till tomorrow night, but you really shouldn't wait much longer than that.
Portugal is the size of Indiana, with more acreage under vine than California. Blessed with a variety of terroir, from the cool northern mountains to the hot southern plains, Portugal has tons to offer, beyond Port.
Major exports started in the past 30 years, so Portugal is relatively new on the international wine scene. Only after the country emerged from dictatorship and joined the European community did you start to see more Portuguese wines on the shelves. However, the history of winemaking in this region dates back thousands of years. They've had a fair bit of practice.
Even more recently, Portugal has come onto the wine scene in a big way - and for more than just Port. The coverage this country has been receiving in national food and wine magazines has been phenomenal.
Which is a beautiful thing. You are learning more and more about Portugal. You read these articles and you're like, "Huh isn't that interesting? Honey, what do you think about that? Did you know they make some really tasty wines in Portugal?"
"That's great honey. Let's get a bottle of Chianti."
Now, there is nothing wrong with Chianti. I love Chianti as much as this imaginary couple does. But it's time to try something else, don't you think?
Recently, Pedro Veloso, Managing Partner for Wines in Motion, a distributor and importer of mainly Portuguese wines, offered a seminar as part of our Wine Talk Wednesday series. With Pedro, we discussed and sampled four delicious, phenomenally priced, food-friendly wines. I asked for his favorite food pairings.
Passaros Loureiro 2014 - Vinho Verde paired with oysters.
This wine is super crisp and super clean, with laser bright acidity and gorgeous citrus. Vinho Verde wines are made in the cool, mountainous region of northwest Portugal near the Lima River. Made from 100% Loureiro, an indigenous white variety, this wine is light, refreshing and perfect with oysters.
Luis Pato Maria Gomes 2014 paired with Asian cuisines
With a richer, thicker mouthfeel and more subdued acidity, this white is a great partner for Asian cuisines. Maria Gomes, also called Fernao Pires, is another native Portuguese variety, offering beautiful citrus and floral notes. It thrives in the sandy soils and humid climate of Bairrada, located south of Vinho Verde, near Portugal's Atlantic coast.
Pedra Cancela Selecao Enologo 2013 with lamb
From the Dao, located east of Bairrada and protected by mountains on both sides, this is an elegant red blend. The region's hot days and cool nights allow for slow, steady maturation, yielding beautiful wines such as this. A blend of Portuguese red varieties touriga nacional, tinto roriz, and alfrocheiro, the Pedra Cancela Selecao Enologo is aged mostly in steel. Only 20% of the blend spends time in cask, the winemaker choosing to use oak as a spice rather than a central component of the wine. With rich dark berry notes, savory spice, and a hint of black pepper on the finish, this is an excellent partner for lamb.
Ema's Vineyard Tinto Paulo Laureano 2013 with prime rib with mushroom sauce (or, for the vegetarians, a juicy portobello burger)
Ema's Vineyard Tinto is from Alentejo. Located in the southeastern part of Portugal, where the mountains flatten to plains, Alentejo has a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters. This wine blends together four regional varieties, including the nearly extinct Tinta Grossa. Aged 6 months in oak, this wine maintains bright acidity while also offering not insignificant tannins. Enjoyable now, this wine is also worthy of aging.
The work has been done for you. Pedro recommended these delicious pairing recommendations. Now, go make your grocery list.

Please Please
I have just started on the road of adoption. I am in the state of Oregon(if the matters) any I was wondering if you experienced parents can give me some advice on adoption for when just starting out.
I dunno what to even ask or start.
Is there certifications I should look for in an agency?
Is there a spot I could connect with the mother only and not through an agency?
I'm just lost and need some guidance.
Oh my....20 views and no advice!!! Common mamas. I called OHS today to see if I did a homestudy would it cover every agency.....the answer was no. I have a lot to learn. How do I pick a agency. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have recently had my last failed IVF cycle with no success and I just want another baby to love!
I am sorry you have not gotten any helpful responses yet. Unfortunately, mine won't be much better. Although I am also in Oregon, my experience, both personal and professional, is with the foster/adopt path, not newborn adoption. Have you considered international adoption, foster/adoption, other ways to build a family? It sounded from your post that you were looking only at domestic, newborn adoption. In no way a bad choice, but I wonder if you have considered alternatives.
If I were you, I would start by contacting several different agencies, and see what they have to say. You could find them in the phone book, or a google search, or whatever. Each may have a slightly different focus; one may fit you better than the others. At this stage, I would not commit to anything, certainly not give anyone any money. Just ask lots of questions. I believe there are lawyers who specialize in adoption - they would know if you really must go through an agency, what the advantages are.
It sounds like your IVF experience is quite recent. You need some time to grieve. Using this time to do some research may give you time to sort out your own feelings, and learn about the options at the same time.
I know you are anxious to get on with this, to build your family. But remember, it is never a quick and easy process. And you have the rest of your life - six months or a year of planning and research will be long forgotten in the decades of love you share with a child.
Rhu - mother,grandmother,daughter,sister,friend-foster,adoptive,and biological;not necessarily in that order. Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way (Jimmy Buffet)
When you post a new thread, it pops up in the new posts area, so often there are a lot of views but the right person hasn't come along to answer it. :)
I think more info is needed to help you out. I'm not in Oregon, but what type of adoption are you looking to do? I did a direct consent adoption in MI with an attorney.
I am one of those views. I was stalking you last night because I was wondering how you were. Sorry I can't give you any advice (a hug instead? )
Mom to DS 12/07 and DD 11/13, plus a bunch of chickens, dogs, and cats.
Moving past many years of infertility and always thinking of my friends in the infertility forums.
Thanks RcR for stalking me, I need it
Krisnic I do understand about the views....but I also felt there was some info out there not being shared. And as a mod I know that a lot of people are hesitant to be the first to answer a post. Thank you for you reply. I do have a question for you......Did you feel that having a direct attorney was best for your situation or do you think it would have been better/easier to go through an agency?
marmarhu~ I am anxious to get started can you tell? We have always wanted to adopt but because age was against us we wanted to try ivf first. Since out last FET failed I am just ready to move on and make my family larger. I have always wanted to adopt and feel like I have had many foster parents myself. Trust me I m dealing with my feelings too. Thanks for your concern. I have called two agencies so far and getting information in the mail. In addition, my RE has recommended a couple of places. I am open to international adoption to but it seem there a some age restrictions that I do not meet. I guess 38 is too old for mothering *sigh*
Thanks for the advice.
I was just wondering if there were some tips out there or if people looked back and thought"If I had asked,or known" questions to help me out. And also just trying to feel what the adoption community is like here on Mothering. I spend a lot of time In parenting and fertility, and good ole toddler threads.
Thanks all
ETA: I have the answers to a few of my questions already from my original post........just was able to do more research.
Definitely better that we had an attorney. There aren't really any agencies around us that could have done our adoption anyway.But our attorney was to the point and had a relationship with the court that got everything done seamlessly.
Hi Tracy, have you also looked at the Resource sticky for this forum? There is a lot of good information in there!!

Hi Tracy, have you also looked at the Resource sticky for this forum? There is a lot of good information in there!!
Oh thanks Lauren! I am checking it out now.
I started by calling a bunch of agencies in Oregon. Open Adopt out of Portland was especially helpful. Adoptions from the Heart was very unhelpful. We are using a lawyer to be our action arranger and so far so good. When you use a lawyer, a home study is a home study as long as it is done by someone certified. Adoption Mosaic is a good website too.
Good luck! I can share more of what I've learned so far with you later and can let you know all about the home visit soon. I need to go prep for our visit right now. :-]
I'm also in the beautiful state of Oregon. I'm pursuing domestic infant adoption. We have our home visit this morning yikes!

Thanks for the info. I am going to make some calls today. I cannot find if I am able to adopt from a facilitator(independent) in Oregon. Laws are different in every state.
How was the homestudy?....details please!!!!!!!! Did your homestudy then come from DHS?

DAVID Hayes is hopeful the form of the Melbourne three-year-old fillies will mix well with the second-tier Sydney colts when his Blue Diamond Preview winner Mama's Choice runs today at Rosehill in the group 2 Stan Fox Stakes.
Mama's Choice has solid form through boom filly Love For Ransom but Hayes opted against a rematch with that filly at Caulfield tomorrow when he accepted for her to take on Albrecht and Kabayan in the 1500-metre Rosehill race.
''I'd probably be pleasantly surprised if she could win the race but I'm sure she can run well and she'll have a group 2 win or placing next to her name,'' Hayes said yesterday. ''A good run would also mean she would stay in Sydney and go for the [group 1] Flight Stakes.''
Meanwhile, Love For Ransom will take what her connections hope is a successful final step towards the group 1 Thousand Guineas next month when she steps up to 1400 metres for the first time at Caulfield.
The filly, who is trained by Greg Eurell at Cranbourne, burst onto the scene with a remarkable last-to-first win at Moonee Valley two weeks ago and can tomorrow prove herself the filly to beat in the season's first classic in two weeks.
Eurell said this week that he had been delighted with the way his filly had thrived since her latest run. ''She's a great doer and has a terrific temperament and she's come on as you'd like from that run and is now looking for the 1400 metres,'' he said.
The trainer was ruing his luck in drawing barrier 13 of 14 runners as it meant the filly might have to be again ridden cold early. ''But it's a bigger track at Caulfield and you just hope she can have an even amount of luck in the run,'' he said.
The Peter Snowden stable has split up its main Caulfield Guineas runners, with last-start group 1 Golden Rose winner Epaulette tackling tomorrow's Caulfield Guineas Prelude, while Golden Rose runner-up Albrecht stays in Sydney for the Stan Fox Stakes.
Snowden reported Epaulette, who ran Pierro to a whisker last autumn in the Todman Stakes, had travelled well to Melbourne and was capable of carrying the extra 3.5 kilograms on most of his rivals in the 1400-metre race.
Flemington trainer Mike Moroney is expecting his import Glass Harmonium to make an immediate impact on his return to racing in the group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield after a successful operation to rectify a breathing abnormality that threatened to bring a premature end to his career.
Moroney said the striking grey was now free of the problem that held the horse back last autumn and pointed to his previous fresh form when assessing his chances over the sometimes tricky 1400-metre course.
In three campaigns for Moroney since he came from England, Glass Harmonium has finished second in the Hollindale Stakes, second in a Makybe Diva Stakes and fourth in the Peter Young Stakes last autumn before his enforced spell.
''I'm a bit concerned that he's never shown his best form at Caulfield but he's going really well and Damien Oliver reported to me after a trial that he had never felt the horse breath better so with all that hopefully out of the way, he'll run well.''
Glass Harmonium has the inside gate tomorrow so may end up with a perfect trail.
Moroney and a number of others expect the Mark Kavanagh-trained We're Gonna Rock to be the horse to beat. We're Gonna Rock can add a group 1 win to his second placings behind More Joyous and Black Caviar at the elite level in recent seasons.
We're Gonna Rock, who was gelded earlier this year, produced an impressive return to racing at Flemington when well above himself.

Not content with dominating Streatham's nightlife entertainment schedules, jazz venue the Hideaway has expanded and opened its own cafe on the High Road.
The décor is bright and stylish, adopting the Hideaway's signature orange and black, complete with memorable keyhole motif. Modern jazz tunes provide the perfect atmosphere.
Next to a large counter displaying tasty treats is the cafe's bar owned by wine connoisseurs Chix and Bucks.
The owners are passionate about their trade and offer wine tasting sessions during the week.
We sampled the Santa Cecilia Trebbiano d'Abruzzo (£24) and the Mainart 538 Chardonnay Sauvingnon (£21.50) which were selected by our host to match our food choices - both were simply delicious.
Feeling suitably spoilt, we started with a mixed assiette (£13) which boasted a superb mix of cheeses, cold meats, crackers, olives and grapes.
The platter went down extremely well with our specially picked wine, and for a moment, I felt like I was on holiday in the Med. The olives, served with a dash of lime, were particularly inventive and the cheeses were rich with flavour. Meanwhile the portion size was generous- you could've shared this dish between three and still had plenty to nibble on.
For my main I went for chicken pieces in a rich tomato sauce with white beans and chunks of chorizo (£12.95). The dish was like nothing I'd tasted before- it had the texture of a stew but with an added kick. The chicken and sausage complimented each other perfectly and the lack of carbohydrates was welcome after a large starter, although bread was served on the side for mopping up the delicious sauce.
My dining partner instead chose the lamb with sautéed potatoes, winter vegetables and a small jug of gravy (£11.95). The traditional British dish ticked all the boxes apparently, and had it not been for the huge portion he said he would have polished it off!
By this stage we were pretty stuffed and so desert was off the cards. But we enjoyed a nice alternative- fresh fruit smoothies (£2.70 each) and two more glasses of splendid wine. Service was impeccable throughout the evening and there was enthusiasm from all involved about what was being served.
The Hideaway is a hidden treasure in south London's crown and there's no doubt this recent venture will get people talking.

for everyone who helped me last days to improve my theme, I updated my theme design after TF rejected it, please give me your feedback about these improvements
I am seeing a BIG improvement. You should have no trouble getting accepted now

thanks for your reply, I sent you a private message, please check your inbox
A million times better – logo is much tighter, dividers are gone, spacing looks better. Generally almost like a different site.
Couple of final things:
- The blog on the home page looks really nice BUT different from the blog page (put the white content box on the posts on BOTH not just home).
- Still think you need to break About/Contact apart. That page looks too basic still and does not work.
- You have small alignment issues on comment box with the rest of the page content.
- The Home page header typography e.g. welcome, about, features needs attention
- Finally: Consistency of page titles i.e. about/features has it but its different for blog and portfolio
It is these slight details and attention to detail that makes/break approval.
nice update, but u need to change those icons here remove Leave a Reply from about us page,
change or add weight to navigation font , have anti-aliasing issue
Good luck

Preventing Vomiting Caused by Cancer Treatment
November 2, 2015
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) developed evidence-based recommendations on the use of drugs called antiemetics that prevent vomiting. This guideline was updated in 2015 to add a new combination drug. This guide for patients receiving any type of chemotherapy or radiation therapy is based on these updated ASCO recommendations.

Judge Dredd
1995 (1998) - Cinergi (Hollywood Pictures/Buena Vista)
review by Bill Hunt, editor of
The Digital Bits
Film Rating: C+
Yet another post-apocalyptic nightmare world, where lawlessness abounds. Some interesting production design and a few moments of humor. Some cool casting too. Taken for what it is, it's enjoyable but forgettable.
Disc Ratings (Video/Audio/Extras): B+/A/D-
Very good widescreen picture (but not 16x9), tremendous Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, but only a trailer as an extra.
Overall Rating: C+
If you really liked the movie, are a fan of the
Judge Dredd
comics, or you really dig Stallone's steroid films, then by all means buy it. Otherwise, at this price... think twice.
Specs and Features
96 mins, R, letterboxed widescreen (2.35:1), single-sided, Amaray keep case packaging, theatrical trailer, film-themed menus, scene access (17 chapters), languages: English (DD 5.1), French (DD 2.0), Close Captioned
Sylvester Stallone packs his pectorals into the gold-plated, armored uniform of a Judge, dealing out justice in a future metropolis gone bad. That about sums up
Judge Dredd
. OK, I admit, there's more to the story. Stallone plays the title character, a thick, emotionless lawman of the future. His job - to patrol the streets of a mega-city of the Third Millennium (it's even called Mega City), and act as policeman, judge and jury. When crimes are witnessed, Judge Dredd hands down the appropriate punishment and carries it out right on the spot. Dredd is the envy of his fellow judges - a seasoned veteran that everyone looks up to. His also the right-hand man of his proud mentor, and the city's highest official, Judge Fargo (Max Von Sydow).
But all is not right in Mega City. A conspiracy is brewing to overthrow the council of Judges, led by one of the council members, Judge Griffin (Jurgen Prochnow). And he's enlisted the help of Rico (Armand Assante), one of the worst criminals ever to walk "The Cursed Earth" (yes, that's what they call it). Rico has been in prison for years, put there by Dredd himself. The two were once friends, and now are mortal enemies. Not to worry though - Dredd's got the benefit of Stallone's brawn, plus the help of a fellow Judge (Diane Lane) and a wise-cracking felon (Rob Schneider). You can guess how it all turns out.
Now, I'm not a fan of, or even familiar with, the
Judge Dredd
comics (upon which this film is based), so I can't testify as to how faithful it is to that lore. But I can say that
Judge Dredd
the film, if taken for nothing more than it is, is more or less entertaining. I mean, hey - any film with Jurgen Prochnow can't be all bad, right? The production design, while absolutely unoriginal (think
Blade Runner
The Fifth Element
, and you'll know what to expect), is still rather nifty. Mega City is appropriately vertical, dense and cool. Dredd's weapon, a gun that has voice-selectable ammo for every occasion, would be great to have on a dark and scary night. And that war robot Rico walks around with is darned menacing. The performances are adequate, but are entirely two-dimensional - appropriate, I suppose, to a film based on a comic book. Armand Assante is particularly good as Rico, and Rob Schneider is occasionally very funny. And I got a good laugh over the recycling robot's monotone mantra: "Eat recycled food... it's good for the environment, and OK for you."
On the other hand, the script is filled with cliches, inane one-liners, and is overall pretty flimsy. Let's face it, the sky-cycle chase is right out of
Return of the Jedi
. Some of the in-jokes really bomb. I mean, come on... Abbott and Costello Lane? And most of the great acting talent in this movie is overshadowed by larger-than-life comic book imagery.
As for disc quality, it's a really mixed bag. The letterboxed widescreen picture is really very good overall, but it's not 16x9, and there's no pan & scan version provided. The audio is what really stands out - well mixed Dolby Digital 5.1, with thunderous bass, and some very cool use of the surround channels. It's really fun to listen to. Unfortunately, 5.1 audio is only provided in English (there's a 2.0 French soundtrack), and there are no subtitles on the disc at all, other than English Close Captioning. All that's provided in the way of extras is a theatrical trailer. Rather lame for the price. Oh, I forgot - there's also the typical "If you like this film, try..." section found on Buena Vista DVDs. Again, lame. Let me say it clearly - Buena Vista really needs to shape up when it comes to putting features on their DVDs.
Bottom line
In the end, I had the same reaction to
Judge Dredd
that I had to
Men In Black
- it was sort of fun while it lasted, but completely forgettable when it was over. If you like the comic books, liked the film, or just dig this kind of film in general, don't hesitate to buy it. It does really put your stereo system through its paces. On the other hand, I can't really recommend this DVD to everyone, given the premium price Buena Vista charges. There's little value to be found here. Oh well.

President Obama has issued a statement of support for Russia in the wake of today's terrorist attack at a Moscow airport.
"I want to express the solidarity of the American people with the Russian people in the aftermath of this premeditated attack against innocent civilians," Obama said in a statement.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters that Obama received a briefing on the attack at about 10:45 this morning.
The United States will provide whatever assistance Russia requests, Gibbs said.
"We are still gathering facts," he said.

I just finished talking to Kris about this, and it looks like we will need to do a mass-change of how the PBI_MAKEOPTS variable is setup, specifically because of the change to OptionsNG for ports (the conversions are no longer working). It looks like the new format for OptionsNG is this: Old Format: "WITH_X=true WITH_Y=true" New Format: "<portname>_SET=X Y" Try changing that line in pbi.conf to the new format and rebuild just to make sure: [code] PBI_MAKEOPTS="claws-mail_SET=BOGOFILTER GPGME SPAMASSASSIN" [/code] I will be making the appropriate changes to EasyPBI here soon as well, so that it is fixed for 9.1-RC3 and 9.1-Release. -- ~~ Ken Moore ~~ PC-BSD/iXsystems

Flavell: West Coast Wind-blown Timber Bill
West Coast Wind-blown Timber (Conservation Lands) Bill
Speech - TE URUROA FLAVELL (Co-Leader - Māori Party)
Thursday 26 June 2014
TE URUROA FLAVELL (Co-Leader - Māori Party): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. Kia ora tātou katoa i tēnei ahiahi. Ka nui te mihi ki a tātou. I am pleased to take a call on behalf of the Māori Party with respect to this bill, and I have got to say from the very beginning that there is different perspective for Māori that is a little bit divergent to the conservation ethic among those in the modern conservation movement who may appear to have a more empathetic attitude towards indigenous ecological knowledge. They may assume that their environmental ethics and those of indigenous peoples like Māori are motivated by similar philosophies and share similar aims.
However, not only is this assumption often wrong; it also contributes to the inability of the Western conservation movement to properly serve the needs of and to fully empower indigenous conservation aspirations as guaranteed to Māori under the Treaty of Waitangi. Two months ago, as the Minister has outlined, those forces of nature had a particularly dire impact as Cyclone Ita left large proportions of the forests, hundreds of years old, completely flattened. We know that the communities of Whataroa and Harihari were the worst hit and were where floods created devastating damage to tōtara forests. That is Tawhirimatea at work; that is nature at work. There is a saying from ngā pepeha a ngā tūpuna; it goes something like this – a tree that will fall to the flood. In essence, it tells us that there will always be forces to contend with and that life should be valued while it remains. I think it is important to note that the forces of nature have, through time, wreaked havoc on our communities, leaving families cast aside as they have tried to repair their lives. Just this afternoon before I came to the House, Ruaumoko was at work. I felt a bit of a jolt as we came across, and we know, of course, that earlier in the day, I think it was, there was a series of other earthquakes at Eketāhuna, all enforcing the idea that Ruaumoko was at work; nature was at work.
When the Minister presented the bill, wishing to move on this particular proposal to us as the Māori Party, we went, as we usually do, to the people of the land. We got feedback from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. They gave us a blessing, but they also put some questions to us, and we in turn moved those questions directly to the Minister. Just last week he invited me to go with him to look over the site, an exercise I very much appreciated because then you get a real understanding about the scale of what went on—nature at work. I appreciated seeing for myself large areas of land with trees just toppled over like matchsticks, and also standing in amongst it. Some might say it was a photo opportunity; I would like to say I was actually seeing for myself what it was all about and learning that there were trees that had been there for a very long period of time that would just go to waste unless something was done about it.
Sure, there were concerns, and I want to outline those for the record on behalf of the Māori Party. We have expressed the view that the timber recovery should not occur in areas of the national park, ecological areas, the white heron colony, or World Heritage areas. The proposal confirms this and notes that it is restricted to conservation lands outside of those areas I just mentioned. We have also been reassured that the rākau rūnanga will have access for recovery of felled timber for customary purposes. Of course Ngāi Tahu would agree to that and get back into that. The bill has many checks in it regarding minimising the environmental effects of recovery and ensuring the health and safety of timber recovery workers. Operators will provide health and safety plans to show that their removal methods will be safe for workers and for the public. I thought that was quite an important condition in light of the fact that at the beginning of last week I was in Rotorua at the hearing of the independent panel on health and safety in the forests. Its members are the ones who have demanded that this sort of legislation be put in place, not for the trees but around health and safety being important considerations.
The reason for urgency is that the beech timber will rapidly deteriorate, and borer and sap stains and all that sort of stuff will start to take its part with the timber, and that if the wood is to be recovered, it needs to be done sooner rather than later. I can actually say that I saw that taking place in front of my own eyes—not that those bugs were moving around while I looked at it, but I certainly saw the damage they could create, therefore rendering that timber pretty much worthless. The impacts of the timber removal would be minimised through strict controls. No significant soil disturbance would be allowed, and operators would be required to minimise damage to the forest and to the conservation values at the site. That seems to suit and fit exactly what we want to happen. The scale of the damage from Cyclone Ita means that there are large amounts of dead and dying tree material available to contribute to natural nutrient cycling and habitat creation within the forest ecosystem. I have got to say that this was at the heart of many of the submissions I have received during this week about the recovery of the soil, allowing nature to take its course in due time and ensuring that there is minimal damage, if any, to the soil.
Only timber that can be processed for high-value logs and sawn slabs would be recovered, leaving the rest of the tree in the forest available for plants and animals within the forest ecosystem. The removal of a small portion of that material is therefore, from our perspective, unlikely to have too much of a significant effect, and the Minister has, effectively, given us the indication that that is the case. It is proposed that the legislation would apply for a period of fuve years, after which it would be repealed and any timber removal would cease. I asked the Minister on the way to the venue if this was the case—was there a time limit to make sure that there is not too substantial damage that will be done within that ecosystem? That guarantee is there. Limiting the time period within which timber can be recovered would also limit the disturbance, as work would be undertaken prior to areas regenerating—a good provision. Revenue from timber royalties would go back into conservation and could be used for forest regeneration; for example, through controlling pests that eat the seeds for forest regeneration and weed control in affected areas. For it to go back into the conservation estate is right and proper. The West Coast conservation board and the local Ngāi Tahu rūnanga will be consulted on how the royalty revenues are spent. At least in this part, Māori do have a say in respect of how those royalties will go.
Research will also be commissioned on the effects of timber removal on forest regeneration on to inform future decisions—a good provision that allows us to ensure this whole operation can be monitored from start to finish. We think that particular clause has got some seriously good parts to it. Finally, this legislation will open up long-term employment and commercial opportunities for the community. Although we are sad to see that so much native timber has been blown over by Cyclone Ita, at the end of the day we were delighted that Ngāi Tahu and the rest of the West Coast community will benefit from the passing of this legislation. In a time when the West Coast, in particular, is screaming for work opportunities to come its way, we believe that this is an opportunity not to be wasted.
When you look at the scale of the devastation and the small percentage of the area that will in fact be accessed by those who are successful in their tenders, it makes sense. It will allow for some employment to take place, allow for business to have a go at regenerating businesses that have long been asleep. Over a set period of time, we will have it all monitored and have certain restrictions in place. From the Māori Party perspective, this bill makes sense. We commend and support the Minister in his efforts to have this bill passed under urgency.

- Great Product Review by Julie
I was rather hesitant about buying this product after reading the only other review in where the person did not experience the flushing effect, but decided to give it a go as I have never taken B3 on its own. I can tell you it has a flushing effect! Within about 7 minutes of taking the Vita-Fit Niacin I was feeling the flushing effect which lasted about 15 - 20 minutes. I do wonder if one takes this product enough that you would possibly need more or a stronger dose to feel the flushing effect? I also experienced amazing energy levels during the day ( I even felt like running!) and had no problem sleeping that night. Highly recommend this product.

- No effect whatsoever Review by Joanna
I buy Niacin for the flushing effect. However, it doesn't happen with the Vita Fit one. Even taking 2 tablets with a hot drink didn't have any result. Please bring back the Thompson's one. Also 100 mg, but much more effective!

Chelsea King had a wide smile, blue eyes, and a kind face framed by the strawberry-blond hair she inherited from her mother.
"She's just a real sweetheart; everything that you read about (her) is true," said Dan Schaitel, who has worked at Poway High School for 28 years and coached Chelsea on the girl's varsity cross-country team.
Now, memories are all that remain of the 17-year-old senior.
A body believed by investigators to be Chelsea's was recovered Tuesday from a shallow grave on the shore of Lake Hodges, not far from the trail where she went missing after setting out for an after-school run Thursday afternoon. A registered sex offender was arrested Sunday on suspicion of raping and killing Chelsea and was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
A profound sadness washed over the community at the news of her death, stunning the thousands who had participated in the search to bring her home.
Throughout the search, family and friends spoke repeatedly of the gifts Chelsea gave others ---- of joy, hope, resiliency and kindness.
"She's one of those people that had that contagious joy," said classmate Sean Golightly.
Chelsea was a relative newcomer to the area. She and her family lived in Naperville, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, for 10 years before moving to California. While in Illinois, she was a straight-A freshman at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, according to published reports.
She loved music; she played the French horn in the San Diego Youth Symphony and performed in a school concert the night before she went missing. It was the last time her parents would see her alive.
She loved knowledge; she earned straight As and had been accepted by the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia. She wanted to write and study environmental issues. Chelsea's cousin, Stephanie Dorian, described Chelsea as a budding environmental activist and a vegetarian who loved running in nature without headphones.
"She wanted to change the world," Dorian said.
She was strong and healthy; she ran cross-country and loved the Rancho Bernardo trails where the school team ran. Her parents forbade her from running alone, but doing so Thursday was perhaps the most disobedient thing the well-read, college-bound girl had ever done, Dorian said.
She was generous; on the morning of the day she disappeared, she had gone to school early for a peer counseling meeting.
"She's what we all strive to be ---- a super, well-rounded person," Schaitel said.
Classmate Kelly Flanagan said Chelsea was obviously intelligent. In the Advanced Placement psychology class they shared, Chelsea's contributions were always lively and articulate.
"She was always willing to give an answer or start a class discussion," the Poway High senior said.
On Monday, hundreds of students at Poway High wore blue, Chelsea's favorite color. On Tuesday, they wore orange, to illustrate what many noticed: a characteristic "radiance."
"Just look at the pictures, look at that smile," said Dorian. "They show her radiance."

Children learn quickly that it isn't a valid excuse for misbehavior to say "Everybody was doing it."
But apparently that excuse works for some city of Tucson employees - costing us city taxpayers in the end.
Roger Sloan Tamietti, a Tucson Fire Department captain, had his rank restored by the city's civil service commission Monday, largely by offering an "everybody does it" defense.
He was accused of throwing an underling onto a couch at Station 7, 4902 E. Pima Road, holding him there and thrusting his crotch into him. Tamietti admitted briefly wrestling former paramedic Cody Jenkins onto the couch but denied the rest.
At Tamietti's two-day hearing, a series of firefighter witnesses told the commission that "horseplay" is common at Tucson fire stations. His attorney, Mike Storie, said Tamietti shouldn't have been demoted from captain back to paramedic by Fire Chief Jim Critchley.
The fact that this gambit worked, and Tamietti got his captain's rank back with just a 15-day suspension should worry Tucson taxpayers and make us demand grown-up behavior from all Tucson firefighters. Whatever Tamietti did, soon after the incident Jenkins sued, and the city has just agreed to pay a settlement of $125,000.
The issue isn't lost on Critchley, whom I spoke with Friday morning at his office at the downtown headquarters, along with Assistant Chief Joe Gulotta. They said the generations-old traditions of hazing and horseplay have been slowly driven from the department, but that there remains a small percentage of firefighters who engage.
"The next time this happens, it'll be the same discipline," Critchley said. "If I have to be at civil service for the next year, so be it."
Critchley sounded sincere, but his words were also familiar. In fact, this was the latest in a series of incidents involving roughhousing, hazing or mistreatment of co-workers by Tucson firefighters at their stations, some of which have led to financial settlements, all of which have prompted efforts to end the misbehavior.
In 2005, the department put eight firefighters on probation for playing hazing pranks on new firefighters. At one station, new recruits were greeted by a firefighter standing in the kitchen wearing only boots and an apron, with a red heart on his buttocks; at another station, an engineer was in the kitchen wearing a novelty apron with an attached phallus.
The tricks went "beyond the bounds of good taste and department standards," Capt. Paul McDonough, a Tucson Fire Department spokesman, said at the time.
In 2006, Michelle Maliniak, then an engineer with Tucson fire, filed an equal employment opportunity complaint for what she said was gender-based mistreatment at her station. She followed that up with a lawsuit in 2007. The city won the case in November, but it took years of legal work by outside attorneys, and Maliniak is appealing.
"People need to learn boundaries," then-chief Dan Newburn said at that time.
In 2007, a new recruit named Adam Neal was beaten by co-workers at the fire house, then duct-taped to a chair and flung into a shower stall. Then they turned on the cold water. He quit and sued, and in 2008, the city paid him a settlement of $60,000.
That year, Newburn sent out a memo to the department telling them to stop the hazing.
"We must demonstrate that we embrace a contemporary workforce ethic," Newburn wrote in a memo co-authored by the president of the local firefighter union.
The union president's name was Roger Tamietti - he's the father of the man reinstated as captain last week, who's known as Sloan. Roger Tamietti remains union president and attended the civil-service hearing.
My colleague Carli Brosseau, then with the Tucson Citizen, reported the memo this way in 2008: "Newburn and Tamietti specified that spraying new recruits visiting the station with a charged hose line, dumping water onto them off the roof and physically rough housing with them are violations of the rules of the department and the city government and counter to the values of the union."
I imagine most adults read that and ask themselves the same question I do: Does this really need to be spelled out?
Apparently so. At the hearing, Storie, Sloan Tamietti's attorney - a longtime representative of the area's public-safety unions - spoke almost apologetically about the atmosphere at fire stations.
"This is not to condone that they act like a fraternity house. I get it. But they live together, they eat together. It's a culture in itself that they have to maintain," Storie said.
Brent Culbertson, a firefighter for 5 1/2 years who was a witness in the hearing testified, "Horseplay has occurred at many stations and on many shifts for the short period of time I've been on."
On Saturday, Storie told me he was disappointed the city folded by settling with Jenkins, who didn't even show up at the hearing where they were considering his complaint. Firefighters testified that Jenkins himself was a frequent participant in horseplay.
But the firefighters must recognize that, even if their roughhousing isn't sexual or ill-intentioned, these days it opens the city up to liability.
Critchley says the department has been making progress at reducing horseplay. Mayor Jonathan Rothschild told me he and the council are behind him.
"That kind of culture cannot continue in his department," the mayor said. "The chief has made it a priority. They've started trainings, but at some point you've got to put teeth into them."
You would think it wouldn't take putting teeth into a bunch of grown men (the female firefighters are curiously never named as horseplay participants). You would think that the dead-enders in the department would realize after all these years that there are boundaries they should not cross.
But if they won't face it, we citizens should demand it. Their frat-house shenanigans are costing us money.

my 13 month old is pretty picky with table foods and textures, so we still have him on "stage 3 baby foods" with the occasional finger foods... but when I spoon feed him he grabs the spoon and the baby food just gets everywhere and he won't let go of the spoon and we play tug of war with the spoon. This is getting aggrivating b/c I want him to eat, so do i put the food in a bowl and let him have a go at it? It's mushy food and don't know how he will be able to eat any with not knowing how to handle a spoon?? He also will take a bite every now and then from but will push it back out with his tongue... are these cues that he is not hungry or full??

American economist
While the GDP growth target has been held steady at 7.5 per cent for 2013, Roubini points out that fixed-investment growth has been targeted to accelerate from 16 per cent in 2012 to 18 per cent this year. Retail sales growth, on the other hand, has been increased only slightly, from 14 per cent last year to 14.5 per cent this year.
China, Roubini says, is serious about reducing its external surplus but by increasing investment rather than by boosting consumption and reducing saving.
"Nothing in [president] Hu's [Jintao] speech gives the new leadership the roadmap to success," she says.
"And since the most able economic reformer of China's new leadership,
Nevertheless, the process of structural reform and rebalancing the economy will continue, more or less as outlined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in its new report on the Chinese economy, published on Friday. As it does, the nature of the Chinese economy will change.
The economy is, for example, becoming more vulnerable to ordinary business cycles, and Australia, with its greatly expanded mining sector, will feel the shock waves.
China has been through major economic cycles since the late 1970s and, while the character of these cycles has changed with the reform of the economy, most have been driven by the government's determination to maintain high rates of investment generated through state-bank lending to state-owned business enterprises and provincial governments. This has led to periodic overheating, and sharp slowdowns as the government has had to hit the economic brakes.
Nevertheless, as
But, as China moves beyond its raw investment-led phase, and becomes more dependent on private household demand, and production becomes more privatised and decentralised, the economy also will become more vulnerable to the ordinary capitalist business cycle with its periods of weak demand.
In this world, growth no longer can be so easily managed by loosening and tightening the tap on state-owned bank finance for state-owned enterprises with little concern about rates of return or repayment.
It is an evolving situation, but as Huang sees it, 2013 will be remembered as the year in which China became a more normal economy.
Chinese economic management increasingly will be less about producing the resources and investment to meet growth targets, and more about trying to manage unco-ordinated entrepreneurship and household demand with its inevitable mismatches of demand and supply, its bouts of over- and under-investment, of excessive wage growth, business failures and financial stress.
There is a risk that either the reformers in Beijing or the players at the industry and provincial level will seek to ameliorate the co-ordination problem by embracing crony-capitalism. After all, crony-capitalism worked for a long time in capitalist Asia, and it would fit easily with China's political culture.
Yet, as the Asian crisis showed, crony-capitalism has its own dangerous limitations. Ultimately it would undermine the development of the vibrant and more labour-intensive services sector that China needs to generate growth beyond the era of forced investment and "subsidised" exports.
Business cycles are a price capitalist economies pay for the innovation and growth that comes with competition. But in China their management will be complicated by the institutional changes that are part of economic reform. Construction and real-estate markets have played an important – and sometimes destructive – role in the economic cycles of the industrial economies, and they are likely to play an even bigger part in China.
The OECD says continuing large- scale urbanisation is essential if China is to maintain its rapid growth. It also is important for the strength of demand for Australian iron ore, as the Reserve Bank's economic researchers have shown.
Real-estate investment already accounts for a quarter of total fixed- asset investment in China, and its strong links with industry and the financial sector give it a special importance. In China, credit creation relies primarily on collateral.
The gradual liberalisation of the financial system is necessary both to impose commercial discipline on industrial investment and to facilitate higher rates of consumption by households.
In China, where real interest rates paid on household saving have been negative, higher interest rates will both curb excessive industrial investment and increase household spending, by allowing households to more easily achieve their saving goals.
But there is a risk that competition for market share among the banks will spark excessive lending to the real-estate sector.
Not surprisingly, economists at the IMF have been busy exploring the potential implications for the international economy of China's real estate investment cycle. Basically, a 1 per cent decline in China's real-estate investment would shave about 0.1 per cent off China's real GDP and 0.05 per cent off global output, Japan, Korea, and Germany among the harder hit of the major economies.
Commodity prices, especially metal prices, could fall by between 0.8 and 2.2 per cent.
Somewhere in there is iron ore and its impact on Australia's business cycle.

HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3
The so called emperor of Android Phones, the Samsung I9300 Galaxy SIII has finally made its way to all corners of the world including India, USA, UK and Pakistan. But the question remains, is the Galaxy S3 still the King of all Android Phones? HTC fans say otherwise. The HTC One X which was launched in the previous months has the support of many thousand users who simply love their Tegra 3 device more than the Mali-400 counter-part.
The displays of these devices are one of the best of 2012. Featuring top of the line 720 x 1280 pixels resolution display with the Samsung Galaxy S3 sizing in at 4.8 inches while the HTC One X sizes in at 4.7 inches giving it a minutely better pixel density.
Both the phones boast top of the line Quad-Core processors which are yet to be seen in any other mid, low or high end Android devices. With the Galaxy SIII featuring 1.4Ghz Quad-Core Exynos 4212 chipset, many say it is hard to beat in terms of sheer performance. Whereas the HTC One X boasts Nvidia's Tegra 3 chipset with a 1.5Ghz Quad-Core architecture.
Both the phones come equipped with Google's latest Android OS v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and 8 Megapixel cameras with Auto-Focus and LED Flash. With the Galaxy SIII you get free 50GB storage with Dropbox, with which you can access all your files online, anytime. Both the phones also come equipped with 1GB of RAM.
In the memory department Samsung's Galaxy S3 includes a variety of options, coming in flavours of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, whereas the HTC One X comes a central 32GB for all shapes and sizes out of which 26GB is available to the user after accounting for the Internal Android OS space.
It definitely is a hard-choice for Android fans to decide between these two phones and the easiest way to determine which of these is your soulmate is by trying both the devices and getting the feel of them in your hands. After experimenting for a bit with both devices it is quite easy to decide which one will float your boat, but that is solely upto the individual.
We would love to know which of these Phones you bought or are thinking of buying as summer has already made its way into our lives and this is the time a geek most craves for a new gadget.

verbal noun from go (v.), c.1300. Going to "be about to" is from late 15c. To go while the going is good is from 1916. Goings-on attested from 1775; going over is 1872 as "scolding," 1919 as "inspection."
1727, "action of going," from go (v.). The sense of "a try or turn at something" is from 1825; meaning "something that goes, a success" is from 1876. Phrase on the go "in constant motion" is from 1843.
Old English gan "to go, advance, depart; happen; conquer; observe," from West Germanic *gai-/*gæ- (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian gan, Middle Dutch gaen, Dutch gaan, Old High German gan, German gehen), from PIE *ghe- "to release, let go" (cf. Sanskrit jihite "goes away," Greek kikhano "I reach, meet with"), but there is not general agreement on cognates.
The Old English past tense was eode, of uncertain origin but evidently once a different word (perhaps connected to Gothic iddja); it was replaced 1400s by went, formerly past tense of wenden "to direct one's way" (see wend). In northern England and Scotland, however, eode tended to be replaced by gaed, a construction based on go. In modern English, only be and go take their past tenses from entirely different verbs.
The word in its various forms and combinations takes up 45 columns of close print in the OED. Verbal meaning "say" emerged 1960s in teen slang. Colloquial meaning "urinate or defecate" attested by 1926. Go for broke is from 1951, American English colloquial; go down on "perform oral sex on" is from 1916. That goes without saying (1878) translates French cela va sans dire. As an adjective, "in order," from 1951, originally in aerospace jargon.
1727, "action of going," from go (v.). The sense of "a try or turn at something" is from 1825; meaning "something that goes, a success" is from 1876. Phrase on the go "in constant motion" is from 1843.

Coming to Thunder Mountain Ampitheater: Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Listen to Kenny Wayne Shepherd on iHeartRadio
Back by popular demand, 107.9 The Bear is proud to present blues master Kenny Wayne Shepherd at the Thunder Mountain Ampitheater on Friday, August 9.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his group exploded on the scene in the mid-'90s and garnered huge amounts of radio airplay on commercial radio, which historically has not been a solid home for blues and blues-rock music, with the exception of Stevie Ray Vaughan in the mid-'80s.
Shepherd has been influenced by guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Slash, Robert Cray, and Duane Allman. However, he is definitely a performer who thrives in front of an audience.
Tickets go on sale on Saturday, June 29 at 10 am for $30. Tickets can be purchased at TicketsWest.com, Front Range King Soopers locations and at Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson in Loveland.

You have to be very secure in your abilities to have mickey mouse as your mascot.
The mickey mouse Club was canceled in 1960 for financial reasons.
He went so far as to call Bazooka Joe his "new mickey mouse" in an interview with USA Today.
I started with mickey mouse, and I kept at it until my Mickey looked like the one in the cartoons and the comic books.
Watch this recently unearthed clip of the future superstar performing at a talent show with moves worthy of the mickey mouse Club.
She did have some experience already, with The mickey mouse Club, but this was her first major music video.
Three years later, she became a Mouseketeer in the revival of The mickey mouse Club.
There have been several stages of "I feel old" when it comes to The mickey mouse Club.
"Some of them think student government is mickey mouse," said Keohane (who does not).
It was covered in obscene doodles of mickey mouse with a huge erection, Minnie dangling from a noose.
cartoon mouse character created 1928 by U.S. animator Walt Disney (1901-1966). As an adjective meaning "small and worthless" it dates from 1936, originally used especially of mediocre dance-band music, a put-down based on the type of tunes played as background in cartoon films.

verb phrase
To treat someone shabbily; ill-use someone; screw, shaft: ''I think we got Mickey Moused,'' Williams said. ''My best pitcher is washed right down the drain, and I don't like it'' (1980s+)
[apparently this pejorative trend began after the wide distribution of cheap Mickey Mouse wrist watches, showing the cartoon character on the face, with his arms as the watch's hands, which were regarded as shoddy, gimmicky, etc, at that time; the diminutive rodent continues to be extremely popular with children]

From: "Anne Doggett" <>
Subject: Cowling
Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 23:20:13 +0000
This is a repeat of a request I made a few weeks ago with only one reply
from Tricia Stoole who had problems because of my Japanese software.
Tricia - I think I have fixed the problem now.
I'm looking information about William Cowling and family. He migrated to
Cape Town from Yorkshire in around 1882-5 with his wife Ellen Sykes and his
children Frank, Mary Louisa, Sarah Jane, John William, Samuel, Archibald
and Percy. William was born in 1845 and I have the record of his baptism.
He died in 1906 and was buried at the Maitland Rd cemetery Cape Town. One
daughter married a man called Traviss and they had a daughter Peggy who died
on May 2, 1981. Percy was baptised in St George's Cathedral Cape Town on
June 10, 1889. Anything at all would be very much appreciated. I have
tried the IGI and other sources without success.
Also - if anyone would help me by looking up a Cape Town or Johannesburg
phone book for addresses of anyone with the name Cowling I would be
extremely grateful
