Out of the Humidor
(continued from page 3)
* * *
Dear Marvin:
A few weeks ago, just the thought of someone smoking a cigar appalled me. If there was one thing worse than cigarettes, it was cigars. It has taken me several years to recover from the shock of learning that a friend of mine had avidly taken to cigars. I recently presented him with a three-year gift subscription to CIGAR AFICIONADO. To obtain a subscription card, I purchased a copy of your magazine. Now that I've read the issue cover to cover, my attitude toward quality cigars has changed completely. I never realized the fine art that's involved in crafting, let alone choosing a quality smoke. Moreover, the enjoyment of a quality cigar is not a trivial matter. Now I'm looking forward to enjoying my first Romeo y Julieta.

Dear Marvin:
Three years ago, my Swiss friend invited me to his annual summer party here in Tokyo. With the party ending, selected guests were invited to his office. Everyone was looking at him walking alongside the conference table. Sitting at the far end was a majestic humidor. Everyone exclaimed they were enchanted. One by one, we were invited to select a cigar--all Cubans of course. It was the beginning of my second love. Of course my first love accepts this and is a fan of my second love, too.
When I had the chance to visit my headquarters located in Geneva, I didn't miss the opportunity to give myself a humidor for Christmas. On top of that, last October, a cigar aficionado decided to open the first cigar club in Tokyo. You can choose from a selected variety of Cubans, smoke them at the club, accompany them with a good drink or stock them in your personal humidor at the club.
As soon as I heard of it, I became a member. We meet interesting people at the club, but one common negative is that most members have intolerant wives. Solution: to place my wife as the club's official public-relations manager. It won't hurt except that it is still me who pays for her Cohibas. Conclusion: it's probably a glory to have two loves.

Dear Marvin:
I am an offshore paramedic, and unlike many of your readers, my wife doesn't mind one bit if I light up a good cigar in "her" home. I just don't understand why all these influential people (like our president) can't work out something so they can smoke in their own homes.
Even the oil company I am contracted to has banned smoking in all company buildings. So I retire in the evenings to the porch swing at our living quarters to smoke and watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. It is the perfect stress reliever after a hard day at the office. Working two weeks on and two weeks off, I pack all the issues of your magazine almost everywhere I go and find myself rereading them. Four issues a year just isn't enough.
Thanks for such a fine magazine.

Dear Marvin:
I am a subscriber and admirer of your fine magazine When a new issue arrives, I usually disregard my Times and opt for picking out a prime corona from my humidor, going to my balcony and lighting up while slowly perusing my cherished new CIGAR AFICIONADO. I particularly enjoy your "Out of the Humidor" section. Although I'm rarely inclined to write to magazines, I do enjoy reading other people's views and opinions on a wide variety of issues.
I had not taken offense with anything printed in your magazine until I read your Summer 1993 editorial. I have been arguing against the American misogynist attitude toward our first lady since day one. A strong woman in the White House should not be perceived as threatening to cigar smokers or any other American for that matter. Hillary is a hard worker with strong convictions and ideals. That should make all Americans proud.
I have a nonsmoking wife who respects my right to smoke cigars. We have a nonsmoking policy in our apartment as does the White House. I am fortunate enough to have a balcony where my friends, guests and I enjoy our cigars. I find no philosophical quandary in this arrangement as you do in reference to the White House policy.
All this said, my offense comes from the inference that President Clinton is a wimp for allowing such a policy because he is a cigar smoker. As logic follows, that makes me and I'm sure a lot of other American smokers out there wimps as well. I feel it is my duty to write this letter offering a different point of view.
First and foremost, smoke in any form is destructive. It is destructive for painted walls and wallpaper; it is destructive for hanging works of art; it is especially destructive for sensitive electrical circuits such as those found in expensive communication, computer and audio/video equipment. Smoke tends to be absorbed by furniture and curtains, permeating the fabric and leaving an odor that is usually sprayed with aerosols that further contaminate the air, which is so precious for all indoor-dwelling humans.
Don't get me wrong, Marvin. I am a smoker and as such, I am in strong support of having well-ventilated public areas for people to indulge their right to smoke cigars and pipes as well as cigarettes. My real disagreement with your point of view is how we perceive the White House. You consider it a country club; I see it as residential home and historic shrine. I don't believe there is a museum in this country that allows smoking. Like them, I find the effects of smoke compromising to the well being of my home. So, like President Clinton, I live in a smoke-free environment, yet I do love smoking my cigars in the great outdoors.
As for your suggestion to allow smoking in the White House dining area, there would have to be designated smoking areas to comply with the national trend. Think about it, Marvin. Segregating smokers from nonsmokers in the White House is not going to help foreign policy. There is enough segregation on the issues alone. This would only exacerbate problems in the diplomatic process.
Keep up the otherwise great work you're doing with CIGAR AFICIONADO.

Editor's Response: All cigar smokers, including President Clinton, need to stand up for their rights. I never said he was a wimp, but he should carve out a space for his pleasures. Moreover, there wasn't one word of Hillary-bashing in my column; she is a hard-working professional. We just happen to disagree on our attitudes toward cigars, and civilized people in a democracy should be able to disagree.
I can't say I agree with your characterization of the White House as a museum. It is a thriving, vibrant home to our nation's leader and his family. Many presidents before him smoked cigars and the house is still intact. Let's keep it for the people ... all the people, including cigar smokers.

Dear Marvin:
I'm a classical-music D.J., the music director for a fine-arts radio station here in Pensacola, Florida, and a longtime lover of cigars. One of the things about being on the radio is the constant surprise I encounter when I meet listeners. Announcers never look like what people imagine. It's axiomatic and a source of amusement for most of us in this business. But to that is the added surprise people always show when I appear with a partially smoked Hoyo de Monterrey Excaliber No. 1 in hand.
I always allow my cigars to go out at a certain point, and then I just savor the taste and aroma such a good smoke has even when it's no longer lighted. One of the comments I often get is: "you know, smoking those things will shorten your life." My answer to these good and well-meaning folks is to cite the list of well-known personalities who smoke or have smoked cigars well into their 90s. Many, of course, are master musicians, the most notable being Arthur Rubinstein, who wrote lovingly in his autobiography about his acquisition of a taste for cigars as a young man.
I was visited for the summer by my college-age nephew. He arrived with a carton of mentholated, very thin cigarettes and a nervous promise that he would only smoke them on the front porch. I said that would be fine and that I always smoked a cigar there myself in the evening. He looked startled and said with polite chagrin that he really hated the smell of cigars. He was surprised when I replied that I was in sympathy with his feelings inasmuch as I detest the smell of cigarettes. We agreed to put up with each other's tastes and share the evening smoke together.
After a few evenings, he told me that he actually liked the smell of my Hoyos. I suggested it was perhaps the first time he'd encountered a fine cigar, that perhaps the cigars he'd been exposed to before were badly made. On impulse, I offered him one of mine, sharing with him the whole ritual of the experience we all know so well. That was the first of many evenings spent there, talking about cigars and cigar making, the result of which has left my nephew a confirmed admirer of the craft and art of cigars. He no longer smokes cigarettes. Instead, with his limited student's resources, he enjoys one excellent though modestly priced cigar per day. He's become a bit of a chauvinist though: he only smokes cigars from Honduras.

Wednesday, July 8
OOPS I forgot to tell you!
So, second because of that I had a HUGE HUMONGOUS yard sale and still need to do another! This was just one lane of the sale, my entire yard, garage and shed were filled!
Thirdly, I had to go find someplace to live, and now I am purging and packing. I am leaving my awesome beautiful stamping area to fit all that I can take into a small armoire Can you all SAY awwww...yes I am depressed. I had to really purge my stamping stuff because I will not have one inch more than the armoire to store everything in our new place.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer....ok so it will be another month before I can get back to stamping....anyone need some stuff, or want to help me pack !LOL!

Ninth District Congressman Rick Boucher will host a July conference to help inform Southwest Virginia business owners and entrepreneurs of resources available for business startup and development.
The workshop, entitled "Building our Local Economy in a Global Market," will be held on Monday, July 19, at 9 a.m. at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon.
"Small businesses are at the core of our economy. These businesses are a wellspring of innovation, and they give strength and diversity to the economic foundation of communities throughout Southwest Virginia," said Boucher. "For these reasons, creating a climate that is favorable to small business startups and providing resources and other assistance to those who aspire to be small business owners is an important part of our strategy for promoting economic growth throughout our region and an important part of the work of my Congressional office."
He added, "The conference I am hosting on July 19 will provide Southwest Virginia residents interested in starting a business and local business owners seeking to expand their business with information on the resources available from both public and private entities for local entrepreneurs."
The conference will include:
• Presentations on launching new and growing existing businesses by Peter Su, director of the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, and representatives from Radford University's Small Business Development Center and People Incorporated;
• An overview of the financial assistance available for small businesses, given by representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority, Virginia Community Capital and the Internal Revenue Service;
• Discussions by representatives from the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center's International Business Development program, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the U.S. Department of Commerce on expanding markets for Southwest Virginia businesses; and
• Presentations on successfully competing for state and federal contracts.
"I strongly urge all Southwest Virginia entrepreneurs to attend this conference to learn more about the resources available to develop locally-owned small businesses," Boucher concluded.
There is no charge to attend the conference. To register or to receive additional information, contact Congressman Boucher's Abingdon office at (276) 628-1145 or register by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Best keyboard - at least of the dozen I've tried.
Yes I totally agree with the recommendation here, FlexT9 is my favorite keyboard and its the fastest with its Swype system. Of course as I'm typing this in using the SwiftKeys keyboard. So maybe I'll add Swiftkey to the list. Swiftkey did not become good until version 3.
What I find is on a phone FlexT9 is far superior because the screen constraints (on smaller screen it's easier to swipe than to touch type) and the ability to type with one hand . On a tablet they are on par and I type just as fast with each keyword since the screen is more spacious and SwiftKey text predictions is excellent. The larger screen size also requires the use of both hands.

Greenfield then introduced Cohen, whose
remarks were more pointedly political. He noted that the
philanthropic work done by Ben & Jerry's was influenced by the philosophy
of Martin Luther King Jr., who drew connections between racism,
poverty, and militarism. "Since the days of the Cold War," Cohen
noted, "our country has been spending half of its discretionary
budget --- that's the amount of money Congress has available
to allocate each year --- on the Pentagon. And the amount
spent on health care, education, and housing pales by comparison."
To illustrate his point, Cohen produced a tin can and a
container of BBs. He dropped one BB into the can to represent
15 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs and 6 BBs into the can to
represent enough nuclear weapons to blow up all of Russia.
He concluded by pouring 10,000 BBs into the can to represent
the size of America's current nuclear arms arsenal.
"For two days' worth of the Pentagon budget, we could fully
fund Head Start and provide Head Start for the one-third
of all eligible kids who can't get into the program. For
six days of the Pentagon budget, we could provide health
care for all uninsured kids in the United States. For 12
days of the budget, we could rebuild all of the crumbling
schools in our country over a period of 10 years. For 10
days, we could eliminate the need for Middle East oil. And
for 12 days of the Pentagon budget, we could feed all of
the 15,000 kids around the world who are dying of starvation
and preventable disease each day," Cohen added.
As his comments were met with a mixture
of cheers and jeers from the audience, Cohen urged the
graduates, "Even if you've
never voted before, if you've never helped get people registered,
if you've never been political, now's the time to start.
We've got to stand up and do our patriotic duty as Americans
and say no, this is not the way our country was meant to
be. No, I will not allow this to be done in my name and with
my money."

A relatively boring Los Angeles couple discover a bizarre, if not murderous way to get funding for opening a restaurant
A delicious black comedy with Bartel and Woronov as Paul and Mary Bland, a snobbish and celibate couple who save up for the down-payment on their dream restaurant by luring swingers back to their 50s decor pad with the promise of kinky sex then murdering them for their money. Their scheme, conducted with a sweet distaste for all things icky, is disrupted by petty thief Raoul (Beltran), who cuts himself in on the profits and persuades Mary to sample the joys of physicality. As committed to the perverse as anything by John Waters, this works because of Bartel's almost prissy delicacy as both an actor and director. Full of laugh-out-loud sick gags and charmingly acted by all.
It shouldn't work, but it does.

Polka dot is a pattern consisting of an array of filled circles, generally equally sized and spaced relatively closely in relation to their diameters. Polka dots are most commonly seen on children's clothing, toys, and furniture, but they appear in a wide array of contexts. The pattern rarely appears in formal contexts, however, and is generally confined to more playful attire such as bathing suits and lingerie. We have here a 3D Live Wallpaper of Polka Dot in a cube and we added lighting and particle effects for that amazing look.

I often get asked about how I find swing trade candidates. Hopefully this post will answer those questions. As I've written before, most of the stocks I track initially came up on one of my candlestick pattern scans. (Please feel free to search the archives and/or use the subject index) My process is no different today than it was in November 2004 when I wrote that post. My entry and exit rules are also the same as I've previously stated — for longs entries are typically above the previous day's highs with a stop below the previous days low or some other support level on the chart. So instead of writing all of that again I'll give a few examples here.
Typically (for longs) what I'm looking for is a buyable pullback to support. That support may be a trendline, moving average, multiple moving averages, straight line support, gap support, a Bollinger Band touch, etc. When I scan for reversal candlestick patterns I take note of the ones that are near one of those forms of support. And oversold stochastic is always a nice plus. (Reverse everything I just said for shorts.)
I caught a couple of big winners today in stocks that were on my swing list. Obviously they don't always work out this well. First is Novellus (NVLS). I began tracking NVLS by adding it to my TeleChart watchlist after that first gap in January. Had I missed the gap during the day I would have found it when I ran my %b scan, which finds stocks outside of their Bollinger Bands. The stock gave one of my favorite setups a couple of days later as it bounced off of the top of the gap. But since earnings were around the corner I wouldn't have entered a swing trade then (but that's just me). So as you see it gapped up post-earnings and was once again above the upper Bollinger Band. Once again I noted it in TeleChart and just kept watching it daily, waiting for an entry point.
I've circled a couple of hammers on the chart that may have given small gains if one managed their stops effectively. Over the last week NVLS kept popping up in various scans of mine — doji, NR7, 50-day moving average cross. Noting that it might rebound over the 50 DMA, that it closed the first January gap and it gave a stochastic buy signal I made sure to set an alert for NVLS. I would have taken the entry yesterday if the overall market wasn't so weak.
The case of Lam Research (LRCX) is similar to NVLS. It also gapped up, above its upper Bollinger Band post-earnings. I've been tracking it ever since. It gave a nice entry two days later as it made that harami cross right at the top of the gap. Stocks that are showing this kind of strength will often walk up their upper Bollinger Bands just as LRCX did for the next 4 days. So anyway, fast forward to the end of January and you see that it made a doji (caught by my doji scan) right on the support from the earnings gap and just above the 50-day moving average. (hmm) Yesterday it made a bullish engulfing (double hmm!)
I missed CYMI today for a day trade since I didn't see an entry I liked after 10:30 (I was waiting for th oil report before I began trading today) but it's similar to the previous two examples:
Here's RACK, which I bought in my IRA a couple of weeks ago. Same old boring story, a strong, trending stock that pulls back and makes bullish candles:
Duru pointed out WIRE to me today as he marveled at how it regained its post-earnings highs. Somehow this one got past me but if I was paying attention I would have caught that hammer-like candle after the earnings gap:
There are a lot more examples in the archives. Other than the 'chart requests', almost all of the posts in the Chart Reading category contain examples of stocks that I found via my scans.
I also get asked for my actual scans [Telechart calls them Personal Criteria Formulas (PCFs)]. If you have TeleChart you can download the scans from my server. Be careful when you do the import though. TeleChart will ask you which parts of that file you want to import. You probably only want to import the scans. If you import that entire file you'll wipe out your tab settings. So you may want to back up your setting before importing.
Of those scans the ones I use the most are:
- %b – I look at values below zero, around 0.5 and above 1.0 to find stocks around their lower, middle or upper Bollinger Bands, respectively.
- The first 9 candlestick PCFs. You may want to tweak the formulas. I use 5 day extremes to define the candles. For example, a candle with the shape of a hammer has to make (at least) a 5-day low in order to show up in the scan results. A shooting star would have to make (at least) a 5-day high…
- NR5 – Narrowest range in 5 days
- NR7 – Narrowest range in 7 days
- Recent New High – stocks which have made a new 52-week high (250 days) in the last 10 days. Often catches pullbacks from new highs.
- Swing High 2 and 3 – stocks which have made a new monthly high (21 days) and have made 2 or 3 lower highs.
- Swing Low 2 and 3 – stocks which have made a new monthly low (21 days) and have made 2 or 3 higher lows.

Blackmon will be a better player but it also depends on what team he goes to.
Blackmon will be a better player but it also depends on what team he goes to.
|Sponsored Links
Cya in the comparisons forum..
But on topic i think he will be better.. Dez reminds me of Roy williams his first cpl seasons
Yes period
Broncos fan since 1989
the next BIG thing
Yes.....wait, no. Actually, maybe. It's possible....could be. Sources say no. Outlook not good. No definitely not.....crap, this damn Magic Eight Ball keeps giving me a different answer every time I ask it.
I don't even think we've see the best of Bryant yet, so this is kinda hard to speculate. Also depends on where Blackmon lands. If he goes to the Browns, but they don't upgrade the QB spot, we might not know. Maybe the Vikes grab him and Ponder takes off and makes him great.
hard to judge bryant and blackmon sionce we aren't sure what bryant is quite yet
30 Team Stadium Checklist: 10 to go
1) Yankees 2) Orioles 3) Rays 4) Red Sox 5) Mets 6) Braves 7) Phillies 8) Nationals 9) Marlins 10) Pirates 11) Padres 12) Astros 13) Mariners 14) Twins 15) Cubs 16) White Sox 17) Cardinals 18) Indians 19) Tigers 20) Royals 21) Reds
I think bryant easily has more talent. but wether he has the work ethic, or will have the production is another story.
bryant has not had a full offseason yet, so hopefully this will help him having one this year....
Yea what Rawz said. Except without defending Dez. Bryant has half assed it for 2 years and been hurt. He is more talented it's purely a matter of will.
|Sponsored Links
I think Blackmon is the most talented WR to come out the draft since Megatron
Super Bowl Champions
Depends if Dez ever steps it up or not. He probably won't, so Blackmon probably will be better.
I honestly don't understand the love with Blackmon. If he was there at #7 for the Jags I'd take him because he'd be the best player, but hes not THAT great.
Body catches, Ran on a fast track for his proday therefore hes not really 4.4 fast. Not tall, and doesn't run great routes. He is good with the ball in his hands and is great at tracking the ball, other then that.. Hes not better then Dez.
Dez would of went top 10 if it wasn't for his red flags.
2) No ifs ands or buts. The fact of the matter is that Dez Bryant does have red flags which influences his play, thus you have to take that into account. We aren't talking talent here.

36 Reasons It's (Still) Good to Be an American Man
Twenty-three years and nearly 1,200 apprehensions later, Fox has ended America's Most Wanted as a weekly series. (A few annual specials are promised, lest society descend into complete anarchy). But not before John Walsh, who insists he'll try to move the show to a new network, scored one last coup with the news this week that, after 16 years on the run, James "Whitey" Bulger (left) was arrested in part because of an FBI publicity campaign in the style of A.M.W.. Sadly, though, you can't get them all....
Decades on the Run: In his second
Just the Facts: With Bulger and bin Laden gone, the most wanted are largely shifting from criminal masterminds to just really violent people. In 1998, this Los Angeleno is believed to have murdered two rival gang members, as well as his ex-girlfriend (possibly because she knew of his role in the killings).
Distinguishing Characteristic: He's known by an array of aliases, the most adorable being "Peanut Joe Smiley."

Reader Shares Views
Dear Editor,
Seduction is by definition is "to tempt, to corrupt, to induce to surrender chastity, or innocence".
Rape is "forcible violation, or abduction, and seizure".
When the above words are used, or heard, we usually think of them as referring to sex; we also tend to associate the perpetrator with being a criminal performing a criminal act.
I submit to you voters that seduction can be accomplished in matters other than sex, and that you have been seduced and raped in a political sense by progressive liberal politicians.
Food stamps for one-half the population, no taxes for another one-half of the population, free telephones for any of the total population who wishes to apply, extended unemployment benefits far beyond the limits described in unemployment insurance guide lines, insurance with no increase in premiums for pre-existing conditions, allow your children to remain on your insurance until age 26, (26 years-old is a child?), all your insurance premiums will be reduced with better coverage. No use going any further with the seduction, if you thought you would be a recipient of these proposed handouts you are being seduced in an attempt to get your vote on any upcoming election.
Rape followed the seduction, in the re-election of President Obama under conditions that range from carefully planned deception to overt lies; all kept concealed from the general public until after his re-election. The Benghazi raid, IRS illegally targeting conservative organizations, NSA investigating reporters who investigated wrongdoings by the White House, fast and furious gun running scandal; all of these investigations were carefully blocked from congressional review because of total control by the Senate, the Attorney General, and the President (made very easy with most of the news media afraid to write or say anything that may go against "their President"). No investigating-type reporting was attempted by the liberal press!
The "New World Order", "Redistribution of Wealth", which has always been the Ideology of the President, has depended on total control of the citizenry by government. "Obamacare", with IRS supervision, would control over 20 percent of our economy, and give government control of 100 percent of the population. The president needs this legislation to reach his goal of total government control and is the reason he was willing to openly lie so many times to keep the terrible news from the public, at least until after his re-election. He was willing to criminally rape the citizens to fulfill his lust for power and to consummate his dream of changing the World into a Socialist Society, with a world government and world financial control. God help all of us if we, victims of rape, continue to believe all of his lies or listen to politicians like "pass the bill, so we can find out what is in it Pelosi", or Mary Landrieu, who suddenly, because of re-election worries, has learned the dangers of Obamacare when it was her vote in the Senate which allowed its passage without a single vote from a Republican in the House or Senate.

Wine of the Week: Inflorescence La Parcelle Brut Blanc de Noirs 2001
The following is brooklynguy's review of this wine, presented entirely as he sent it to me, without edits or amendments:
I'm quite proud to write as a guest here on Besotted Ramblings and Other Drivel. A bit intimidated—this is, after all, the finest source of Champagne information on the internet. But I will do my best to share with you the Wine of the Week: Cédric Bouchard Champagne Inflorescence La Parcelle.
Even within the group of hipster grower/producers, Bouchard is doing some unusual things in Champagne. First of all, his wines are always based on a single vintage—no reserve wines are used. Even when the label says NV, the grapes used all come from the same summer. And even more mavericky, Bouchard makes only single vineyard wines. Yes, this is common everywhere else. No one talks about the Burgundy producer who makes wines individually for each vintage, and from individual vineyards. They all do that in Burgundy, and most everywhere else. Not in Champagne. Only a few producers offer even one single vineyard wine, although that number is rising.
This is not to say that single vintage, single vineyard Champagne is intrinsically better than other wines. Cédric Bouchard's wines would most likely be fantastic and compelling if he were to blend vintages and parcels. It's Bouchard and his good land, his great farming and vinification that makes these wines excellent. And in the end, there is something special about drinking the wines and knowing that you drink one specific time and place in the Aube's Côte des Bar. My friend who drank this wine with us the other night said exactly that: "I've never tasted a Champagne like this one."
Bouchard makes a Blanc de Blancs and several Blanc de Noirs. The wine we drank is a Blanc de Noirs from a vineyard called La Parcelle, all 2001 grapes, and it was just fantastic. The texture is immediately striking, very silky and fine with incredibly tiny bubbles. The nose is so delicate, so refined, and so vinous, with fragrant purple fruit resting on top of mushroomy earth. There is a definitely umami sense to the nose. The wine is richly expressive and broad, yet somehow completely contained and elegant. There is delicious dark fruit that is subtly infused with chalk, great clarity and focus, and a ridiculously long finish of dark fruit and flowers. This wine is delicate enough that I wouldn't want to risk it with food—this is one to savor on its own.
Now, what if I told you that 2001 was one of the worst Champagne vintages in recent history? Can you imagine how good the 2002 version of this wine will be, for example? This wine is not cheap at $100 retail, but if you love Champagne it's worth every penny. Production is small—usually a few hundred cases of each wine, and people are catching on quickly. There is a good chance that Bouchard's wines will become much more expensive in the next 10 years, and even more difficult to find. If you haven't done so already, it might be worth trying one now while it's relatively easy.

Great start to the weekend guys – thank you for the note, "Brooklynguy".
I find the wines from Cédric Bouchard very interesting. I have only tasted the Inflorescence and Les Ursules" and they are very interesting. I find them both very food friendly and especially the latter is a Champagne you have to drink with food. I also find Les Ursules rather backward and it almost has this diamond-dust and I feel it's really a wine to cellar. I don't how you guys feel – how long can it go?
I am dying to taste the two very rare and limited cuvees - "Le Creux d'Enfer" and "La Haute-Lemblée" and have almost been promised a bottle or two, if they manage to find thei way into Danish territory. Have any of you guys tasted these?
Best from,

I have tasted all of Bouchard's wines, and all of them are well worth pursuing, needless to say. Diamond-dust is a great description for Les Ursules—the 2005 (which is the current release in most parts of the world, but some places might have received the 2006 by now) is especially quite backwards, and will need some time in the cellar to really show its stuff. As far as aging potential, in Paris a couple of weeks ago I just drank the 2002 Les Ursules, and it was perfect—still youthful and primary in flavor, but feeling as if it's developed more harmony and finesse from its aging. I don't see why it couldn't continue to develop for another three to five years, at least. The 2005 might have an even greater potential for longevity.

Quality cross-promotion. I'm duly impressed.
And I have a wholly unrelated question that I hope isn't out of order here since it's about a wine you've written about in the past and not about this week's WOTW.
Moutard's 6 Cepages. Which is arbanne, petit meslier, pinot blanc, pinot noir, chard and meunier.
Just had L. Aubry Fils Le Nombre D'Or Campanae Veteres Vites which - in the current release -- has the above, minus Pinot Blanc, plus Fromenteau.
Any idea if these 7 are the complete list of cultivars allowed? And do the "minors" get in through some grandfather clause in the AOC? Meaning, if I wanted to, could I plant and bottle Petite Meslier if I started my vineyard today?
I'm not. Starting a vineyard in Champagne, that is. So this is just idle curiosity.
A very happy Christmas, Peter. Besotted Ramblings has consistently featured my favorite wine writing this year. Congratulations on a brilliant job.

Who knows. I do know that he hasn't got any even in his cellar, as when I asked about it, he told me to go taste it in the States! But apparently you could go to Norway too, as Frank says....

Nice note and as a lucky buyer in Australia I can only endorse the comments as to the quality of these delicious wines. Just a couple of extra notes on Cedric's impressive approach. His yields are much aunder what is permitted in Champagne , sometimes at half of the allowed yield and a level that would qualify for GC white burgundy. The wines are not only single vintage, single vineyard but also single cepage. To dat cash flow considerations have meant the wines being released prior to the 3 years required to "vintage" the label. The first "vintage" les Ursules from the 2005 harvest will be release in 2009. The wines are also "gassed" at 2/3 the normal pressure so the champagne is even closer to it base wine or more particularly its individual terroir. Cedric was bestowed with the "Vigneron of the Year - Champagne" in the 2008 Gault et Millau. Despite this recent attention Cedric remains level headed focused and like his wine feet very firmly rooted to the earth. I hope readers will experience these rare treasures sometime but with only tiny production ( the rose Creux d'Enfer 500 btls) and less than 15,000 btls across the Board it might not be easy. Ian

these comments are all quite impressive and I might feel shy saying anything given I know nothing that would add to this. So my comment is only for the brooklynguy. Thanks for saying mavericky. I love inventive language. this is my first read of besotted ramblings, and I find the guest writer made me feel quite happy to have visited.

thanks for your kind comments, and thanks again for having me as a guest Peter. Biggest thanks, though, for sharing your precious and delicious bottle of Bouchard wine with me.
by the way, my verification word right now is "mated."
- 23 December, 2008 18:44
The '01 is a negociant wine. Bouchard bought the back stock when he purchased the vineyard from a family friend [I believe they did not even sell what they made]. Cedric's first vintage is the '03. None of the '01 bottles were sold in France.
The '01 is drinking so well right now!

All of Friday night's rain made for an interesting Christmas parade in downtown Knoxville.
Wet weather hit the 41st installment of the WIVK Christmas parade hard. A strong rain took over most of this year's event.
But, it wasn't enough to keep people from taking in the parade.
"I enjoy Christmas time and try to take every opportunity that I can to take my son out to see the lights and all of the festivities," said Knoxville resident Ericka Pirtle.
The crowd had fewer people than last year, but the turnout still surprised some.
"I was not expecting this," said Knoxville resident Cassandra Sampson, who was attending the parade for the first time. "There was a lot more people here than I thought."
But, the rain did put a damper on First Friday downtown.
Erin Ketron, a salesperson at Earth to the Old City on Market Square, said business was down in comparison to other First Fridays.
"We're trying to get people in, but we just can't keep the door open like we usually do, because of the cold," she said.

LEED credit for your garden
Have a green thumb and a green building project? Then, LEED pilot credit SSpc82: Local Food Production is for you! Whether the project is growing food onsite or supporting an off-site farm, it could be rewarded for the intrinsic value of local food production.
As with any LEED credit, there are site requirements. For Design and Construction (D&C) projects, the project owner can grow edibles in the ground, hydroponically, on the roof, or in a greenhouse. The metrics are based on the site or roof size or on the number of Full Time Equivalents (FTE). For LEED for Schools projects, it's based on the number of students. Learn more about the criteria »
Because Existing Building (EBOM) projects are able to use the ongoing activities of occupants, these projects can earn credit for occupant participation in supporting the functions of an on-site or local farm. There are two path options: either purchase shares in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm or help out an existing farm with financial or material support and staff volunteer time. Find the details »
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) processes must be used in all projects and permanent structure provided. The pilot credit resources has recommendations for herbicide and fertilizer usage and soil testing. This information will help your project to meet the credit intention to improve human health and well-being, community involvement, and education on food production.
The pilot credit lists the submittal requirements, some of which your project may have developed already. You'll need to gather together various drawings, narratives, and calculations.
So, how to decide? What to consider?
If your project is BD&C or ID&C:
- Does it have space for the infrastructure?
- Is irrigation necessary in the local climate?
- Has the soil been tested in multiple locations?
- Does the organization have staff or other resources committed to maintaining a food production area for at least the three-year commitment?
- Is there permanent infrastructure such as, solar access, fencing, watering systems, garden bed enhancements (such as raised beds), secure storage space for tools, and pedestrian access for these spaces?
- Are the caretakers willing and knowledgeable about IPM and natural fertilizers and pest control?
- What will you do with the fresh, lovely produce? Who will eat it? Will it go to a food bank, will employees take it home, or can it be used in the building cafeteria?
- Is someone on board to create the credit documentation?
And, additionally for Schools projects, consider:
- Is staff available to teach the lesson plans about community food production?
- Are the students interested in learning about gardening?
- Is there a maintenance plan for school breaks?
If your project is applying for Existing Buildings certification and using Option 1 (CSA):
- Is the building owner committed to local food production?
- Does the building owner have staff to administer the program for at least the three-year commitment?
- How many staff members are interested in CSA shares?
- Is there an easy pick-up area in the building? Will refrigeration be needed?
- Is someone on board to create the credit documentation?
Existing Buildings certification and using Option 2 (farm support):
- Is the building owner committed to local food production?
- Is there a commitment to provide either financial or material support for at least the three-year commitment?
- Are there staff members interested in learning about farming and participating in the program?
- How will staff work their farm hours during the work week?
- Is someone on board to create the credit documentation?
Pilot credit 82 is where well-being meets green buildings through exercise, healthy food, and productive, sustainable gardens.
Where will your project take this?
Pilot Credit 82 was developed and initiated by a team of green building professionals led by Joyce Lee, FAIA, LEED-AP. Their draft was reviewed, adjusted, and approved by USGBC/GBCI staff, the Sustainable Sites TAG, and LEED Steering Committee.

I need help fixing the product page of my site. The product title is repeated twice, but into another place and in the same size. The product description part of the page also repeated as well. I can't figure out how to fix it so I am in desperate need for help. Thank you!
Thanks, Ismael. Here is a link to the sample product page: http://www.shop.feterie.com/product/retro-school-draw-pad/#tab-description
The product title is repeated in a larger text on the right side of the product image in the content area, however, the same info is repeated below it in product descriptions. I've checked and I do not have anything in the shorter description field for the product page. Ideally, I'd like to replace it with just product description. Thanks for your help!
Hi tamtamdesigns,
First thing to do is re-download the theme files from your downloads on ThemeForest. This will bring you up to date with using WooCommerce 2.0+ since the version you have now is not compatible with it.
Thanks, I thought that I had updated it. I will do now. I made some tweaks to the CSS. If I keep the CSS files as-is, will it affect the new theme update? Thanks, again!
Please create a backup of the modified files and your database. Or you can use a child theme to retain your own modifications. :)
I've downloaded from Themeforest, which I am assuming is the most recent version (it doesn't show on my account download area). How do I create a child theme? Is there some a tutorial on how to create one for this theme? Thanks for your help!
You can use this video to guide you through creating one: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/67221517
But if you've only modified the custom.css file then you shouldn't have any issues updating. It really depends on exactly what you updated.
The topic 'Ghosting/Mirror Image' is closed to new replies.

We are looking for reviews of Freeport.Does anybody have any great places to visit or know of those to avoid? We are open to all suggestions. Thanks http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Frankly I'd say the best thing to do in Freeport is stay on the ship, but that is my opinion. However it is one that is shared by many of our members. Look here for our Freeport information. At the bottom of that page are some reviews.
Thanks Dave,I was kind of expecting a negative review but some one MUST have found something interesting to do or visit. Please respond with either positive or negative comments and then we can (at least) make an informed decision. Thanks again Dave.
Bub, as usual, Dave is right on target with this one. I am just a pessimist about a handful of ports and Freeport ranks in my top five of my "Fear of Safety" ports. I have not developed my opinions based on other's reports. I have personally been there many times and I have been very chagrined at the decline of safety and the rise of lawlessness and corruption that runs rampant in the port city. Feel free to make your own opinions and prove me wrong. Nothing would please me more than to see this breathtakingly beautiful city revert back to the pleasant port that I know that it can be.
Have not been there for several years. If the cruise is for Freeport and Nassau, we enjoy the ship that day. The port has such a great history. It is sad to see this decline from what was an awesome port.
Thanks everyone,can you fill me in on the extent of lawlessness and what we should be aware of to keep safe.
Hi Bub, I found some general precautions on the US Department of State web site. They were not specifically for Freeport though.
Here is a link.
Thanks Dwayne for the info and also to everyone who have offered advice.
We had a ball in Freeport, we took a cab to the Sheraton in Port Lucaya and did excursions on the beach there. Then walked across street to Straw Market and shopping. A very nice day for all 10 of us.
It's not all bad as MemaSue noted. It is just not a preferred port. It is nice to go to Port Lucaya and see it. After you have seen it, and have been to other ports you will understand some of the sentiment here. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif

You arrive at the store, money in hand and ready to spend, and are confronted by an hours-long line just to get to the door. Once you reach the entrance, a security guard asks why you want to come in, where you're coming from and could she check your pockets before letting you through.
Sometimes they make you feel welcome. Sometimes you wonder why you bother. Oh, and there's a line to get out, too.
That's what it feels like for the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the United States crossing through the ports of entry every day.
As reported in Sunday's Arizona Daily Star, congestion at the Douglas port has gotten so bad that local officials and business leaders from the U.S. and Mexico are working on a private-public partnership to fund construction of a new commercial port of entry, estimated at $15 million to $30 million.
While we applaud the initiative, we agree with Rep. Raúl Grijalva that the federal government should be primarily responsible for the border and address "the very real need of understaffing among customs agents that are essential to security, the flow of goods and services, trade and economic development."
Lawmakers should support legislation such as the Congressional Border Caucus' proposal to fund entry ports and President Obama's fiscal 2014 budget request for more Customs and Border Protection funding.
So far, border security measures linked to immigration reform have been shaped by political concerns that only provide expensive cover for Republicans looking to support legislation.
Ports of entry play an integral role in national security, yet they are ignored in the push for spending increases on Border Patrol staffing and other law enforcement efforts away from official crossing points.
The Senate's immigration bill would spend $23 billion over 10 years to double the number of Border Patrol agents and extend fencing along the border. Putting aside the environmental impact, it makes little economic sense. More than 20,000 agents already are doing their job to make the border more secure.
With apprehensions continuing to decline, it would be a case of diminishing returns to invest so heavily on additional agents.
In contrast, a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office says $6 billion is needed to modernize the country's ports of entry and 6,000 Customs and Border Protection agents should be added to staff them properly. About 350 million people and $2.3 trillion in trade crossed last year through ports of entry, and trade groups say delays at border crossings cost the economy $8 billion a year.
Locally, Mexican visitors to Arizona spent $2.69 billion in the state during 2007-08, generating 23,400 direct jobs. During the same time period, they spent $976 million in Pima County, generating more than 9,400 direct jobs and $190 million in income, according to a report by the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management.
Customs and Border Protection officials are in an unenviable position. Their mission includes enforcing immigration laws, stopping smugglers and protecting the country against terrorism - all while facilitating and expediting trade.
Underfunded ports of entry not only hurt the United States economically, it makes it harder for existing customs agents to exercise their enforcement duties and keep us safe.
As immigration reform starts and stalls its way through Congress, legislators should focus on the importance of ports of entry. They should stop equating border security only with high-speed chases in the desert and more with a slow crawl through a congested border crossing.

Re: the medical scribe and the NPR story. First, I listened to the NPR story when it aired, and granted, my brain without caffeine is not the sharpest, but I didn't think the story was the least bit negative. Your lead sentence suggests otherwise. Secondly, why people aren't churned through the ED more quickly is a function of the ancillary departments and what the physician orders. So, if the physician can see more patients more quickly, the backup in radiology, the lab, etc will just be longer..

It seems as though it's always the victims of bullying who get beaten up by the system, while the bullies are let off. When it became apparent that kids who go on school killing sprees often are bullying victims, did school authorities take action to stop bullying? Not really. Instead, they began watching the victims - not protecting them, but monitoring them for signs of anger or aggression. Now when a victim reacts in any non-passive manner to bullying, s/he is likely to end up in the principle's office and/or suspended from school. The bullies, meanwhile, may not get so much as a talking-to. Might this be because people who end up in positions of authority in schools and communities (e.g., some police officers) were themselves bullies when they were in school?.

4-vehicle wreck in Seneca
Four vehicles were involved in an accident late this morning in Seneca. According to the police, two people were sent to the hospital to be evaluated. The accident apparently began when one vehicle headed west on W. N. 1st Street slowed to turn onto N. Perkins Creek Road, which caused a chain-like accident from the rear.

Do announcements of bank acquisitions in emerging markets create value?
The latter half of the 1990s saw a sharp rise in entry of banks from developed countries into emerging market financial systems. This was motivated by, among other things, the belief that expansion into underdeveloped financial markets would result in diversification and efficiency gains, and thus prove to be value creating. This paper uses a standard event-study methodology to determine the reaction of the acquirer's stock price to announcements of acquisitions in emerging financial markets (EFMs). Under the assumption of efficient markets, a positive reaction is interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that expansion into EFMs is value creating. However, in line with the literature on cross-border banking acquisitions in developed countries, announcements are found to be associated with negative abnormal returns for the acquirer, suggesting that potential downsides, such as operational risk, legal and social barriers, and political risk, are judged by markets to outweigh the potential benefits. Moreover, the value destruction from an acquisition was found to be bigger in all regions in the 18 months following the Asian crisis.

After a string of burglaries that has plagued the Cowan Heights area of North Tustin for more than a month, officers from the Orange County Sheriff's Department were able to arrest an individual responsible for a residential burglary on Sunday.
Lt. Jeff Hallock, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff, said Natanael Garcia, 30, was arrested for residential burglary in the Cowan Heights area at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Hallock said a resident called the sheriff's station around 1 p.m. with a description of a person burglarizing a home in the 10,000 block of Crawford Canyon Road. Garcia matched the description, he said, and was apprehended within minutes of the call.
Hallock said blood was also found at the scene of the burglary, which is being analyzed in connection with Garcia.
Hallock said Garcia was not holding any stolen property when he was apprehended, but that a cut on his body, possibly linking him to the blood found at the scene, and a matching physical description was enough evidence to warrant an arrest.
Garcia is in custody at the Orange County Jail He has not been connected to any of the previous burglaries in the area.
"We arrested (Garcia) for burglary, but I don't want to (claim Garcia was responsible for all the burglaries)," Hallock said. "Because we think there is a possibility there can be more than one person."
The Charter Point Association, a home owners association for Cowan Heights, held a community meeting with Orange County Sheriff's Department representatives on Feb. 18 to address concerns about the recent spike in residential burglaries in the area.
During the meeting, Sgt. Rick Johnson of the Orange County Sheriff's Department urged residents to not make their homes easy targets by not using their house alarms and by leaving valuable items in plain sight.
According to John Rooney, Charter Point Association board member and Cowan Heights resident, he and other residents are relieved that there has been an arrest for the most recent burglary and that Cowan Heights residents will continue to watch for more suspicious activity.
"I see more people being aware and reporting suspicious vehicles or individuals," Rooney said. "Neighbors are talking to one another more; we're closing ranks to make sure we're watching out for ourselves, families, and our neighbors."

CRICKET and football members will be charged $75 to apply for an exclusive Adelaide Oval Ultimate package they may never receive.
And long-term SACA and AAMI Stadium members will be rewarded for "loyalty" with the granting of priority access to the 12,100 Ultimate memberships that will include entry to all AFL and cricket matches at Adelaide Oval from 2014.
The Stadium Management Authority yesterday announced a registration period from November 14-27 for the packages, expected to cost around $1000.
Members must pay a $75, non-refundable application fee to secure the chance to buy Ultimate packages, which are expected to be oversubscribed, with 6100 available to SACA and 6100 for football members.
The 6500 Premier SANFL, 2000 Essential Power, 6000 Essential Crows and all SACA members will be eligible for an Ultimate package on a "first come, first served" basis at the conclusion of the registration period.
Those unsuccessful in obtaining an Ultimate package in the registration period will join other standard Crows and Port members on any waiting list.
Newly appointed SMA commercial manager Darren Chandler defended the "one-off" $75 fee - which could deliver a big cash injection to the SMA - as an administrative requirement.
"We were looking for a firm commitment from those who were serious about taking up the membership," said Mr Chandler.
"There were a number of costs from staff to membership systems. We have been open about it."
Young SACA members were wooed to support the Adelaide Oval redevelopment vote in May last year but could struggle to get Ultimate packages.
"A portion of Ultimate memberships will be allocated first priority to Honorary and 50+ SACA members and AAMI Stadium Foundation members. Then the priority will go to Premier members, Essential Crows and Power," said Mr Chandler.
"We are anticipating there will be significant demand, it's an exciting product and time."
Mr Chandler said further information and pricing details would be announced on October 31 while letters concerning the Ultimate package and Adelaide Oval should reach all members today.

Photographers for years have wanted a way to give their images more range. Thanks to computer software, now they can.
Format: Classroom
Hours: 14 hours / 1.4 CEUs
Where: UGA's Athens campus
When: Spring 2016
Cost: TBD
High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a way to "see" the most tonal range in an image. HDR takes a series of different exposures of the same scene and combines them in post processing to create a properly exposed image. HDR allows for a greater range in the lightest and darkest areas of an image. It allows you to view areas of an image that you wouldn't be able to see in a single image.
With software, we can combine a number of images into a new image giving a full-tonal range. The new image is closer to what the human eye saw when the images were photographed. Includes a discussion and demonstration of Adobe Photoshop HDR, NIK HDR eFex Pro 2, and HDRsoft Photomatix, just a few of the many software solutions on the market.
Photographers, today, are in two groups: those who use HDR and those who want to learn to use HDR. Be in the first group!

Using prompts from "The Book of Me, Written By You" I'm leaving my memories of my
life for present and future relatives.
This week's prompt (which are answered in a different order).:
Prompt 2: Your Birth
Do you have any baby photos?
Where were you born?
Who was present at your birth?
What day was it? Time?
Did you have hair? Eye colours
I was born in Boston at the Massachussets Osteopath Hospital on 20Aug 1948. It was a Friday night, and I believe my mother told me it was nearly midnight when I was born. I don't know the exact measurements except that I was over 8 pounds at birth, and that I had blond hair and blue eyes. My Dad was at the hospital in the waiting room. One of the things my Mom saved were the telegrams that accompanied the flowers that were sent to her by my Dad and by her mother and brother:
I have a baby picture around here somewhere that I haven't scanned yet. But here's one
of me at about a year old, taken at Hough's Neck in Quincy, Ma. One the left is our cousin
Margy(McCue)Boyd, on the right is my Mom(whose hair was red), and the chubby guy in the middle was me.

Upper Great Miami River Watershed
Descriptions of Watershed Characteristics
The drainage area, stream network, and monitored stream segments for the Upper Great Miami River Watershed have been detailed by the
Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water
. The location of the watershed in relation the other watershed throughout the state can also be seen in the small Ohio map on the top right.
According to the
Ohio EPA
, the Upper Great Miami River Watershed is impaired primarily by habitat alterations affecting nearly all river miles. In addition to alterations, well over 50% is also impaired by siltations. Such severe river and stream impairments commonly result from human development, inadequate agricultural practices and land use changes in the surrounding area.
