Discussion in 'Midwest' started by jera1350, Dec 16, 2013.
Assuming I get my paws on some next week, I got you covered.
More being made than Surly Wet.
SERIOUSLY ISO (bottle version)! Would love to get my hands on a bottle solely for the artwork. If anyone wants to trade me a bottle please send me a message on here!
Doubtful, but real!
I don't think you read my post correctly. I was pointing that out to show that the beer was brewed prior to the day the MNPikey had assumed.
I didn't assume anything. Todd and the other brewers post on Twitter all the time. And 3 Floyds. And Real Ale (in this case).
Blakkr was brewed at Surly on 2/6.
todd haug @surlybrewer Feb 2
Last run coming up next week, then BLAKKR RT @CVickberg: How much longer will delicious Abrasive be brewed this year? March? @surlybrewer
todd haug @surlybrewer Feb 6
BLAKKR fermentation speaks realalebrewing 3floyds @ Surly Brewing Co http://instagram.com/p/kFxgWmHI8N/
Real Ale Brewing Co. @RealAleBrewing Feb 10
None more Blakkr. surlybrewing toddhaug @ Surly Brewing Co http://instagram.com/p/kOcl2XodRO/
Yep, and my response to all that was "Yes, because no brewery has brewed more than 1 batch of a beer ever."
One batch was brewed at each brewery and there will be one canning, they were all there together doing it together. In Blanco, TX. In Munster, and in Brooklyn Center. Tons of photos and info on Facebook and Twitter. They don't have any secrets.
Hah, this isn't about secrets. I just think it's funny that you are dead set on saying they only brewed it once and on 2/6 when there are others in this thread who saw fermenters with BLAKKR on them before that time.
Surly is awesome, everyone chill!
I will be in the Twin Cities area Thursday the 27th. Is there anyone able to pick up 4-pack of Blakkr for me? We can meet wherever is convenient and I'll pay for the beer and bring some local stuff as a thank you, buy you a beer at a bar, whatever. We can work out the details in a private message. Thanks guys and gals.
Can release at Grumpy's NE at 4:00pm today!
Will i get a weird look if i ask for a pint glass with my can? Need the full aroma!
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
They're pretty anal about giving out glasses.
They might black ball you for life.
I can never sense your tone. Maybe one day.
I was JK
Hey...what did you expect with a question like that?
Cheers ~ maybe I'll see you there.
Just excited.
You're such a dumb ass, it's not even funny....
...seriously, I'm eating crow here.
Went down to Grumpys NE tonight for the release....and the beer is really good.
Hats off to everyone at Surly, FFF & Real Ale for pulling this off.
Also met another great BA tonight - Cheers Ryan!
*Remember...shoot from the hip ~ but admit when you're wrong
Jim, thanks for bringing Evil Twin Even More Jesus! I still can't believe that isn't barrel aged.
Abrasive and Darkness had a baby is the best way to describe this, as Todd was quoted!
I was kinda surprised how much i enjoyed this beer as well... i'll def be picking up a 4-pack as soon as i can find some this week.
btw, re: that $24/4-pack rumor, was told yesterday to expect it to be priced closer to Abrasive (i.e.: probably $15-18/4-pack), but that it is definitely the most expensive beer they've brewed.
Can anyone give a taste review?
Any sightings around town yet?
I was wonderng the same thing. I called Liquor Barrel in Golden Valley and was told they were supposed to receive it today...
$18.99/4-pk at MGM Eagan - was told by the owner that he only received 3 cases. Supply was pretty sparse when I got there at 1pm
Thanks for posting the info!!
I was able to still get one at about 3:30 at MGM Eagan, they also had Darkness.
Stop raiding one of the best kept secrets in the SE burbs!
Hoping I can grab some of this in Lakeville on Friday...anyone know if it will be on tap anywhere downtown? Staying at the DoubleTree on Saturday night.
Just called and it's all gone. I find it strange that MGM Eagan got this today, but other area stores did not.
apparently Lake Wine & Spirits is getting theirs tomorrow
I'll posted a full review after a few more fans, but this is a very interesting combo of stout and hops. It's excellent.
Zipp's has it per twitter...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets have hired Jody Shelley — the club's all-time leader in penalty minutes and fighting majors — as a broadcast associate and "team ambassador."
Shelley was one of the Blue Jackets' most popular players 2001-2008, recording 11 goals and 18 assists in 380 games with 1,025 penalty minutes. He led the club in penalty minutes four times and set the franchise record with 249 during the 2002-03 season.
The 37-year-old will provide analysis during home radio broadcasts, in addition to working occasionally as a TV commentator and interviewer and co-hosting a weekly radio show. Shelley also played for San Jose, Philadelphia and the New York Rangers.
Penguins hire Martin as assistant coach
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have hired longtime NHL head coach Jacques Martin to serve as an assistant under Dan Bylsma. The 60-year-old Martin has spent 17 seasons as a head coach, compiling a 613-481-119 record during stints with St. Louis, Ottawa, Florida and Montreal. His 613 wins rank 10th in NHL history. He joins a staff that includes Tony Granato and Todd Reirden. Martin last coached with the Canadiens during the 2011-12 season. Most recently he worked as a television analyst.
Martin won the Jack Adams Award as the Coach of the Year in 1999 when he led the Senators to a 44-23-15 record and the franchise's first-ever division title. General manager Ray Shero called Martin a "tremendous addition" who will give the team a unique perspective going forward.

Xiotech dumps Daticon to embrace Emprise
I had a technology demo Tuesday with Xiotech, where they showed off their new baby, the Emprise storage system. A technology demo might seem like a worse fate than death to most, but I appreciate the opportunity to get out from behind my phone and computer screen and actually see things in the flesh (or silicon, as it were).
Xiotech's reps showed me a pre-recorded demo of the Emprise self healing process, including automated power cycling on a drive and the process of copying data off a drive to the others in its DataPac storage unit, remanufacturing the drive, and bringing it back online, restriping the data. Lots of blinky lights and bar graphs of I/O going up and down.
To say Xiotech officials are excited about Emprise would be a vast understatement. But in the midst of discussing power supply and airflow designs, SCSI command sets and their varying quality from device to device, future storage media such as solid state drives, and parallelized application performance, a little light bulb suddenly went off in the back of my mind.
"What ever happened to Daticon?" I asked. I'll admit it was something of a non sequitur but it occurred to me at random.
There was a pause. Marketing communications guy looked at CTO Steve Sicola, Sicola looked back at marketing communications guy. "Well, there was a press release last week…"
Last week I was dead to the world beyond Symantec, but it doesn't appear this press release was exactly heavily broadcast, either: as of June 6, Daticon has been sold to Electronic Evidence Discovery Inc. (EED). According to Xiotech director of marketing communications Bruce Caswell, "the opportunity to buy [Seagates Advanced Storage Architecture (ASA) group] came to light about a year ago, and we had two opportunities to pursue: e-Discovery and storage. We had to decide what we really wanted to pursue."
He added, "that's why we announced some evidence management solutions with Daticon and then sort of went dark."
Xiotech also went dark for about nine months before the Daticon acquistion. At the time, Mike Stolz, vice president of corporate marketing, said "adding this functionality gets us out of day-to-day combat with EMC and IBM…evidence management and data discovery evolve around the storage system but at a higher level." That made it appear that Xiotech would transform from a general storage array vendor to an ediscovery specialist.
Now Xiotech appears to be putting all of its resources into the Emprise and and its relationship with drive vendor Seagate, which owned Xiotech at one time and remans the sole drive supplier for the Emprisse (it has to be for the drive diagnostic firmware to work). Generally, array vendors use more than one manufacturer to force better pricing and overcome manufacturing anomalies, which crop up from time to time for particular suppliers.
Sicola says Xiotech has a contract with Seagate made to keep raw material costs competitive, but otherwise Xiotech makes no apology for slightly more expensive components, whch also include fans and power supplies engineered to use the same bearings as the disk drives, cutting down on vibration within each DataPac. Xiotech argues that spending more on better parts cuts down on failure rates, SCSI errors and services costs. "You can build a better mouse trap, but you need better parts," he told me today.
As for manufacturing anomalies affecting whole batches of disk drives, "even when they reach epidemic proportions, they affect 10% of the product on the market," Sicola said. "Problems with vibration, cooling and bad controller software make them worse–we want to fix that stuff by getting down to clean code."
What do you think? Does that approach sound risky, or clever? Does ISE seem like another false start a la Daticon, or is it really the next big thing for Xiotech?
Email archiving latecomer Atempo sweetens deal with file archiving integration
Better late than never. Backup software vendor Atempo has ventured into the email archiving market by coming out with the first full integration into its product line of intellectual property it acquired with Lighthouse Global Technologies in February.
Obviously, the release of an email archiving product is hardly earth-shattering. That market is headed for maturity very rapidly. Atempo knows this, which is why it actually released its email archiving software, called the Atempo Digital Archive for Messaging (ADAM), after releasing its file archiving software (ADA).
The first edition of ADAM will be integrated with ADA from the get-go. Atempo has also included features that not all of its predecessors have, such as message stubbing and support for Lotus email. But it's the file archiving integration, according to Atempo's VP of marketing Karim Toubba, "that shrinks a competitive landscape of more than 20 players down to just a few."
In another attempt to differentiate ADAM, Atempo is using search from Exalead, rather than the more commonly used FAST or open-source search engines. This allows for automated retention according to message header info for e-Discovery.
"The downside for Atempo is that their brand is associated with Apple and the Mac," said Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Brian Babineau, referring to Atempo's TimeNavigator backup software. "On the positive side, they have a strong European and channel presence."
Dell says 2.5-inch SAS drives will reinvigorate DAS
The march of 2.5-inch SAS drives into networked storage took another step today when Dell launched its PowerVault MD1120 storage expansion enclosure. The enclosure is designed with the small form factor drives.
The MD1120 expansion closure isn't a SAN, but a JBOD that connects to Dell's PowerEdge server. And it's not the first external storage system with 2.5-inch SAS drives — Infortrend has been shipping one since January. But Dell will obviously drive a lot more adoption than Infortrend, and Dell execs expect 2.5-inch SAS drives to co-exist with 3.5-inch drives in SANs before long.
"We see 3.5-inch drives being relevant for a long time in external storage, with 2.5-inch becoming a relevant complement in the next few years," said Howard Shoobe, Dell's senior manager of storage product management.
Small form factor drives allow for denser enclosures and reduce power consumption, but capacity is the main inhibitor for their inclusion in enterprise SANs. The new Dell enclosure holds 24 drives that are either 10,000 RPM 146GB or 15,000 RPM 73GB models. Shoobe expects the tipping point to come when 300 GB SAS 2.5-inch drives are shipping. Seagate has announced a 300 GB 2.5-inch drive that should begin shipping in systems later this year. Shoobe says Dell will incorporate them into the MD1120 when they're available.
"The capacity we offer today will double, and that's the trigger point," he said.
Dell isn't giving a forecast on when we might see 2.5-inch drives in its EqualLogic PS iSCSI SANs, and certainly not for the Clariion systems it co-markets with EMC. But even if it takes longer than expected to show up in enterprise SANs, Dell sees 2.5-inch SAS helping to give a new life to DAS because of the small form factor and coming bump from 3 Gbps to 6 Gbps.
"We have invested in DAS while the rest of the industry has been abandoning it," said Praveen Asthana, global director of storage and networking for Dell. "DAS boxes are becoming more capable, especially with SAS. Why are we getting excited about a DAS announcement? It's big business for us, and it's growing."

Copan gives its MAID more cache
Copan has enhanced its Revolution 300 Series to beef up its virtual tape library capabilities (VTL) and try and keep distance between the MAID pioneers and those who have followed with disk spin-down products.
The most interesting Revolution enhancements involve data deduplication that Copan added late last year for its VTL via an OEM deal with FalconStor. Now Revolution customers can set up a 40-drive cache landing zone, which supports more than 1,000 concurrent data streams. Up to 40 drives will run separate from the MAID pool, so those drives always spin and increase the ingestion rate while deduping. The cache will spin down with the rest of the drives after it finishes ingestion.
Copan also added a hot standby deduplication option that provides a spare dedupe engine that replaces a failed unit for high availability deduping.
Other enhancements include support for 1 TB SATA drives that bring maximum capacity to 896 TB in a single frame, data shredding to destroy tape data and tape caching to automate moving data from the VTL to physical tape.
Copan was the first to deliver MAID systems in 2004, but rivals Nexsan, Hitachi Data Systems, and EMC have since come out with their own spin down drives. But Copan CTO and founder Chris Santilli says there is more to MAID than spindown, and the new enhancements make Copan's MAID more enterprise ready than the competition.
"MAID does not equal spin down," Santilli said. "There's more to it than saving power by spinning down drives. Enterprise MAID is a combination of density and reliability, and adding software services and features. We ingest as fast as we can, stage the data on MAID, and now we can do dedupe, replication, and encryption on the data."
Analyst Mark Peters of Enterprise Strategy Group agrees the caching and other enhancements make MAID more valuable than merely spinning down disks.
"Caching shows they understand there are people who want to get a lot of data in their system fast," Peters said. "If 25 percent of your disks are doing something else, that creates a problem. They created a side stream to the main river. This is a special section where you can keep the drives on."
Symantec to build clustered NAS for cloud computing
At a Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server roadmap session at Vision on Thursday, a Symantec exec revealed it will be coming out with its own clustered NAS system, based on the next generation of its Storage Foundation Scalable File Server. This will be accomplished by layering a NAS personality onto Symantec's existing clustered file system.
"We're going to leverage our file system know-how to deliver next generation object storage for cloud computing," said Rob Soderbery, senior vice president of the storage and availability management group.
The system will mostly be used as the back end for Symantec Protection Network SaaS offerings, but will also be available to service-provider customers, according to Soderbery. Currently called Symantec Secure Scalable Storage (S4), the new system is slated for an alpha later this year, beta early next year and live availability for SaaS in mid-2009.
By putting S4 behind its backup SaaS, Soderbery said, Symantec would be able to offer users online access to files backed up through SPN or the Backup Exec SPN integration. "The backup use case would blur with the storage SaaS use case," he said.
Other roadmap items for Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server highlighted in the presentation:
- Heterogeneous clustering between server types, OSes and physical and virtual servers with the rollout of the new VCS One product later this year. This builds on an early adopter version of the product released last year called Veritas Application Director. VCS One will use a policy master, and the goal is to support up to 256 mixed OS nodes for multi-tiered application-based HA and DR.
- Change management through Command Central Storage, also due out later this year. In addition to both proactive and reactive change management analysis for the primary storage environment, the product will also track the impact of changes to the DR plan, and allow for policy-based enforcement of configuration standards.
- Symantec will also be rolling out Veritas Operations Services. These services are Web-based configuration management offerings. SFPrep, a utility that checks OS versions, patches, etc. when Storage Foundation is installed, is in beta testing. It will also allow users to submit "goal builds" for review by Symantec's engineers, who will tell them whether they'll work or not, and offer remediation if they won't. "We want to cut out the cycle of deploy, problem, fix," Soderbery said. He added that out of 800 configurations that had been submitted so far, 25% were problematic.
Ease of use and solving compatibility issues were themes among the roadmap/user feedback sessions at the conference Thursday. Users in a NetBackup roadmap session asked for common management tools to be made avialable for NetBackup and Backup Exec in mixed environments, and for integration with Active Directory and LDAP.
In another session on upgrades to NetBackup 6.5, however, users and analysts praised a newly avialable upgrade process for media servers through LiveUpdate. Previously, updates were only made to the master server through the utility. However, users said they hoped that in future, LiveUpdate could be delivered as a preconfigured virtual appliance, rather than requiring users to set up a separate physical or virtual host on their own to run it.
Q&A with Symantec about SwapDrive
After Symantec confirmed its acquisition of backup SaaS partner SwapDrive on Wednesday, I sent out some questions to Symantec. Here are the responses I got back from a spokesperson:
How will Symantec integrate SwapDrive into Symantec Protection Network?
SwapDrive offerings are focused on consumers while the Symantec Protection Network is focused on the needs of small and medium businesses. Symantec will continue to offer both. The needs of consumers and businesses can be quite different. We expect, however, that consumers, businesses, and partners will all benefit from knowledge sharing that will take place between the SwapDrive and SPN teams.
Is it true that SwapDrive doesn't backup open files?
SwapDrive accommodates open files differently across the various implementations. SwapDrive is designed to back up files by automatically shutting them down – backing them up, and then re-opening them transparently to the end user. Further, SwapDrive will implement other "open file" backup techniques as partners request them.
Will SwapDrive add a Mac client?
SwapDrive's web-based applications, such as the SwapDrive File Sharing and WhaleMail work on all major platforms – including Mac. For example, there are many Mac WhaleMail users.
SwapDrive's pricing for 2 GB / year is $50–EMC's Mozy offers this amount for free. Any plans to change that pricing?
SwapDrive's current online pricing will keep pace with the market and the value derived. Our service is more robust and redundant than many others offered in the market today. We will constantly innovate and price for the market and value we provide. Services included in some of our products (ex. WhaleMail for sending large files) are not offered by other low cost providers.
SwapDrive also supports numerous partners who offer storage to consumers via different arrangements. For example, Norton 360 includes 2GB of storage as part of the purchase price product. (MSRP $79.99)
Symantec execs talk strategy
In keynotes and 1:1 executive briefings at Symantec Vision this week, Symantec officials have opened the kimono about plans for future integration of their products, including integration of software pieces from storage and security units.
It won't be product integration per se, as has been done with individual backup products NetBackup and PureDisk because changes to product-level code across different disciplines of IT could be an impediment to adoption for users, according to CTO Mark Bregman. "That kind of integration suggests things bolted together, and our approach will be to let the separate products talk to each other," he said.
Symantec will use IP acquired in its Altiris acquisition, extracting data through Web Services standards and APIs for legacy applications. Some products are already shipping with the necessary Web Services support today, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection and Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR). The overall integration platform, which will be included free in products going forward, is referred to as the Open Collaboration Architecture, or OCA, within Symantec. A small team of engineers has been assigned to build the connectors to it for each product. Currently, applications that support it like BESR can issue reports through the architecture, but taking action is still a ways off, Bregman said.
One of the use cases for OCA discussed by execs is endpoint virtualization using a combination of IP from Symantec's AppStreams and Vontu. The technology is tangential to storage, but will be Symantec's way of addressing what it calls the consumerization of IT–i.e. the use of mobile devices for work and personal computing. According to Enrique Salem, AppStreams' application streaming software would make an application and its data temporarily available on a mobile device. To keep corporate data from floating around on personal devices, Vontu's data loss prevention software would track data created on the mobile device and clean up the data once the AppStreams session is over. Vontu's software could also prevent users from forwarding sensitive corporate material elsewhere. OCA underpins all of this, and Salem said Symantec is rolling out the pieces today. It remains unclear if Symantec will prepackage this as a storage security application for mobile devices, but Salem said it can be put together today for users want it through Symantec's professional services.
Users around the show say it's a nice idea, but there are improvements they'd like to see to Symantec's existing frameworks first. Users of Symantec's OpenStorage API integration with Data Domain say there's room for improvement there–with the current version, users must manually select a replicated copy of data from a secondary site in the event of an outage.
Elsewhere, a storage director for a financial company said he'd like to see summary reports from Symantec's management products that put data into business terms like RTO and RPO (Symantec CEO John Thompson said Symantec would prefer to hook OCA into third party reporting tools like Crystal Reports, because "one organization's great report is another organization's pain in the butt."). This user also said he'd like to see more product-level integration. "Anything with catalog integration is high on our wish list," he said.
Symantec's SwapDrive acquisition draws glares from EMC
According to a statement issued by Symantec today,
Symantec has acquired SwapDrive, a privately-held online storage company to strengthen the services offerings in the Norton consumer portfolio and to help consumers manage data across their devices. This was a small, targeted acquisition and is a very natural move for us because of our close two-year OEM relationship and existing product partnership on Norton 360.
If reports elsewhere are to be believed, however, "small" and "targeted" are relative terms–the deal is reportedly worth $123 million.
EMC, which made a similar acquisition of Mozy for $76 million last year, is already firing off counter punches, via an emailed statement to press pointing out competitive differences. SwapDrive doesn't backup open files, for example, doesn't have a Mac client, and charges $50 per year for 2 GB of backup while Mozy gives that away for free. On the other hand, Symantec already had a field-tested infrastructure for SaaS in its Symantec Protection Network (originally used for hosting accounts in the security division); began as a security company while EMC has had to assimilate RSA; and arleady has an established brand in the consumer/SMB space that EMC is trying to penetrate. Symantec previously partnered with SwapDrive for its Norton 360 backup SaaS, while EMC has had to integrate Mozy.
Aside from these positioning differences, I haven't been able to help notice that EMC and Symantec are looking a lot alike these days. While at EMC World and Symantec Vision, both in Vegas just a few weeks apart, at times it's been eerie just how similar the company lines have begun to sound from these rivals. Both CEOs are keen to talk about the "consumerization of IT." Both are interested in supporting access to data from mobile devices as part of that shift (though Symantec appears a bit ahead there with application streaming and data loss protection software that's shipping today to offer that kind of service, while EMC is still cultivating Pi Corp.'s IP). Both have large, multifaceted backup portfolios they say they plan to integrate at the management layer (EMC also says it plans to integrate repositories while Symantec argues that they should remain separate), and both have used the same "one size doesn't fit all" line to describe their backup portfolios and strategies.
It's clear from the way Symantec execs react to questions about these overlaps that they still see EMC as a newcomer in the software space. When I pointed out that both companies are talking about the consumerization of IT in similar terms, Symantec CEO John Thompson interrupted me to retort, "and what consumer experience do they have?" He made a similar comment about backup and archiving integration, pointing out Enterpise Vault archives certain data types already while EMC is still working on integrating file, database and email archiving through Documentum. It's clear these companies are in each other's heads, and that their competition is growing fiercer than even the turf wars between EMC and NetApp. With this acquisition, SaaS will be added to the list of their increasingly contentious battlegrounds.
Incipient offers data migration without storage virtualization
While IBM is upgrading its SAN Volume Controller (SVC) virtualization platform, Incipient is taking one of the major features of its storage virtualization product — data migration — and spinning it off into a separate application.
Incipient today rolled out Incipient Automated Data Migration (iADM), which is designed to automate and manage large data migration projects.
Migration is supported in Incipient Network Storage Platform (iNSP), switch-based virtualization software that competes with EMC Invista and LSI's StoreAge SVM. It's no secret that switch-based block virtualization has been a bust compared to IBM's network-based SVC and Hitachi Data Systems' array-based virtualization. Incipient isn't waiting for the market to come around.
[iADM] "is not storage virtualization, it's process automation for storage," Incipient marketing VP Rob Infantino said. "This is used with or without storage virtualization. Some customers think storage virtualization is still risky because we're adding an abstraction layer between the host and storage, but they need data migration capability."
iADM doesn't permanently take control of LUNs. While iNSP requires a Fibre Channel switch, iADM sits on a Windows server and connects to the storage fabric via Ethernet. It performs the discovery of devices on a SAN, maps hosts to source LUNs, and does the LUN masking, auto zoning and host reconfiguration. iADM works with array-based data movers, such as EMC's SRDF and SANCopy. The idea is to make large migration projects go faster and save companies from having to pay huge services fees. Incipient is aiming iADM at shops with more than a petbyte of storage and looking to migrate hundreds of terabytes. Licenses typically run from $2,000 to $2,500 per TB, depending on how many TBs are migrated.
Since the migration requires a few hours of downtime for hosts to recognize the new targets, it's usually done on weekends. After the migration, customers can pull out the iADM software.
Infantino says the new product doesn't mean that Incipient is backing off switch-based virtualization. He won't reveal how many customers Incipient has, but says it does have some $1 million-plus deals with major financial institutions using iNSP. Now it's working on upgrading iNSP to add remote replication, support for software from VMware, NetApp's Onaro and Akorri, and greater scalability.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir grapes have been cultivated in and around the Burgundy region of France for centuries, where they have long been favored by vintners for their wide range of flavors, their thin skins and for producing wines which have light, smooth tannins, and a beautiful garnet red color Whilst they remain one of the flagship varietals of this special region, their wide popularity and recent status as a fashionable 'romantic' varietal has led to them being planted in almost every wine producing country in the world. However, the Pinot Noir demands a huge amount of care and attention from the wineries that wish to grow it, as this varietal is particularly susceptible to various forms of mildew and rot. Despite this, the grape is otherwise a favorite with wineries for the fact that it requires little extra effort once it begins fermentation. Pinot Noir is also widely known for producing some of the world's most famous sparkling wines, being one of two key grapes for the production of Champagne, and several other sparkling varieties.
Region: California
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
Country: United States
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
Appellation: Monterey County
Monterey County is a fascinating wine region, situated on the Californian coast. It has become something of a region based around experimentation and innovation, and many of the wine-makers in Monterey County are keen to develop new hybrids and clones of successful and wildly popular French and Italian grapes, renowned for their superb flavor and aromas. Indeed, over forty different grape varietals are grown in Monterey County, and they all benefit hugely from the gorgeous Californian sunshine and mineral rich soils the state is renowned for. Many of the wineries in Monterey County are sustainable, organic or biodynamic, helping produce a wide array of different red and white wines of superb quality and distinction, which are finding new fans and dedicated, enthusiastic admirers each year.

An industrial-inspired floor lamp with a deep bronze finish and burlap drum shade.
Let this handsome floor lamp light your way in contemporary style. The design features a slender column in deep bronze finish leading up to a sleek tan burlap drum shade. The look is clean and simply chic.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I love everything about this lamp, & the matching swing arm wall lamps too.
I needed new lamps in our den, & specifically wanted burlap shades. The smart
Burlap drum shades with the dark brown metal frames look just right in the room.
The wall lamps have dimmer switches, which is a nice feature. I am very pleased with this purchase.
nice textural burlap shade and bronze metal lend this to craftsman style and contemporary
I bought this lamp off the floor. Associate wrapped it and loaded in my vehicle. Was in perfect condition, like new!
Transitional style of this lamp allows you to use it with several styles of furnishings. I have used it with Mid-Century Danish Modern but it would work with Craftsman as well.
Great aesthetic to my home and very durable.
Put this in our dark den. It's absolutley perfect! They style is not too modern, not too rustic, just what we were looking for. I was waiting until this lamp arrived to make sure I liked it before I ordered the matching table lamp. Needless to say, the table lamp was ordered minutes after I put this one together. I would definitely recommend this lamp!
Was very pleased with everything about this floor lamp. Would buy again!
It fits beautifully with all decor. Transitionsl.
I have this lamp in my family room and it looks great!
Love the flexibility of being able to use one or two bulbs. I use only one for simple illumination and two bulbs when I want to use it for reading. It's also sturdy enough that my cats don't knock it over when they chase each other. My only quibble (and this is a minor one) is that I wish there were a way to shorten the cord.
We have this beautiful lamp in our living room. It has enough illumination that we only keep one bulb on at a time (it has spots for two bulbs) so the room is not TOO bright when we use a second lamp for reading between two chairs on the other side of the room.
It adds a nice touch of style to the room, is very easy to clean/dust, and the light bulbs are easy to access and change out. The shade is not too large and, with its wide-mouth top and bottom, leaves plenty of room for the light to spread throughout the room. The only slight flaw in ours is one of the braces for the lamp shade is lower than the other other three so the shade doesn't rest directly on it - not a problem since the others hold the shade perfectly even. Frankly, it's not even noticeable unless you are looking for it.
Overall, we are very happy with this purchase and would buy another if we needed it.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

"City of Dust, a well-researched account and powerful testimonial, will strike a particularly strong chord with working people who have suffered the trauma of the devastation of their communities and ways of life."—H-Net Book Review
"Throughout this book, the author draws on his own experience growing up near Ilasco and the personal accounts of people who lived there to create a sensitive and vivid portrait of working- class life in a small company town."—American Historical Review
"This book is a superb example of what historians can do to preserve the history of company and industrial towns whose existences are now endangered by rapid economic change. City of Dust is a significant contribution to the social and industrial history of the trans-Mississippi West."—Missouri Historical Review
"Clearly written, nicely illustrated, and well-edited, City of Dust is well worth the attention of those interested in labor relations and the process of industrialization in rural areas."—Agricultural History
"Gregg Andrews provides a fascinating story. . . . [His] account of Ilasco emerges as a model of capturing the personal lives and public events of a working-class community. He profiles representative figures, recounts cultural patterns, explicates the company's economic and labor policies, surveys workplace conditions, and weaves those local insights into the larger framework of the national scene and the entire cement industry. Finally, he enlivens his narrative with vivid quotes. . . . City of Dust stands as a remarkable achievement."—llinois Historical Journal

Should I mention my miscarriages when people ask if this is my first baby?
After two miscarriages, my husband and I are expecting a little girl in June. With the due date drawing near, my tummy is really starting to grow. Many people ask if this is our first baby, and we usually say 'yes,' but I feel guilty not mentioning the other two babies we've lost. Is it inappropriate or should I mention them?

I've had 3 miscarriages, 2 of which were my first. At first, I didn't want to talk about them, but like you I felt guilty, so I chose to talk to people who were really my friends, not patronizing, but truly sympathetic. You do whatever feel is right for you. Those babies were still a part of you, still your children. If you feel the need to mention it, not necessarily to strangers off the street, but to others you actually know, go ahead. It's part of healing.posted 11/12/2007 by Charra1
I guess it depends on how you feel about talking about it. In my experience, Ive had friends and family with miscarriage stories and they were so sad and afraid to get pregnant again because they thought they could have the same problem. However, I think it is far more common than we know, my husband is a doctor and he says it is more likely to have a misscarriage than to get pregnant, but most of the times when you have it you didnt now and you jst get your period. I know knowing this is no confort but at least it helps knowing it is common and it doesnt mean you cant have a baby. I think that if people talked about it a little bit more we woldnt be so afraid of itand filling our head with stuff that could psycologicly could affect us during the process.posted 02/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I would answer that it is your first baby when people ask that because you haven't had a live birth yet but I understand the mom in you thinks of those would have been babies.posted 10/18/2011 by candygrl83
I have to say I was 22 when I got pregnant the first time, I wasn't married, my boyfriend at the time left me, and I lost mine a week before my first ultrasound. I even registered here and after I lost him....It felt like I lost a huge part of me...But me and my husband are trying now and his family would ask me is this your first time...and all I would say is no...but this time it will be meant to be....I still cry sometimes but you always know whats right in your heart....you are a strong loving mom....no matter if your child can come home from school with a drawing of you....or you go outside on a nice clear night to think about them....they are there and they are real....it still hurts ohh yes but I have a tattoo of an angel holding a faceless baby on my right ribs...and that is my first baby always and forever....I hope you find the right answers and congrats Angie i hope all goes well and dont ever forget about your first they never leave you....give him/her a talk sometimeposted 08/25/2011 by B_gurl1433
I think I can help u with this. I had my lil girl on july 3rd and she passed away o was only 21weeks & 4 days . She had the worst case of spina bifida . If people ask me about if I have any kids I always tell them we have a.little girl her name is Anna Fallyn Holden . I think u should tell people about the babys u lost its nothing to be ashamed about . I hope this helpsposted 08/14/2011 by brittanybroyles
Hey girl honestly i would mention the babys if it comes up... if someone asks just "iis it your first" than say yes... if they get into detail...dont hold back.. tell them about your lost ones... you loved them nomatter whhat happend so acknowledge them but angie dont make yourself guilty over it...you did all you can do and now your moving on... with memory of them but your not forgetting them, yah no?posted 07/13/2011 by kyliedalynn22
When I lost my son it was like the world crashed around me. Time does make it easier but, he is my baby always. I wear a Pandora bracelet that really helped after the loss (I would touch it when I felt upset or anything like that). It has my son and a angel as charms. People ask about it and I tell them very openly and honestly. I think it makes people unconfortable but, for me it makes me remember him and acknowledge what he has brought to my life. He has reminded me of what is important everyday and I am so greatful to him for that act of love. I wish you well. I find days I would never say it and some days that I need to talk about my angel.posted 07/11/2011 by happydaybyday
If you feel you should mention your miscarried children then do so....don't worry about what's appropriate. Other people don't know how you feelposted 06/10/2011 by gindotgirl
It depends on if you feel like telling them. Our first baby miscarried last January 10, 2007. We named our baby a name that could work for either a boy or girl. I told my relatives about my miscarriage and of course my doctor. But when people I don't know ask it really depends on whether I feel like saying so or not. I sometimes think of saying this is my first born child. I hope this helps.posted 12/28/2007 by SusanCK
I think this question was answered within the question if you feel guilty not mentioning them, then mention them. I don't think it's inappropriate to mention them, living or deceased they are still apart of you. I'm on my third pregnancy child #2. I miscarried at 6 weeks with pregnancy #2 I don't often mention my little one in passing conversations but everyone near and dear to me know that I miscarried. My mom always tells people she has five grandchildren (two are my nephews) three here, one on the way, and one in heaven. I don't often mention it because it's hard...even at six weeks of pregnancy, its an instant maternal attachment and I miss my baby. But I feel blessed to have a healthy two year old boy and a healthy baby girl on the way. I will meet my baby in heaven someday.posted 05/06/2008 by cameortorres

Charming but would not go back
Although this is a very cute, charming hotel, I would not stay here again. I booked my room 7 months in advance requesting a large double and on arrival was told I could not have the room I booked because someone else decided to stay longer. They then offered me a suite to compensate. When we came back later, we were told the suite had something broken and they could only offer us the smallest room in the hotel. We couldn't even unpack our suitcases. Then we had to move to another room the next day. More importantly, the staff were so unhelpful they couldn't even call us a cab when it came time to leave. They knew nothing of the surrounding area and didn't even put phone calls through to the room. I stayed at three different Paris hotels on this visit and although this had a great location and very pretty but small rooms, the staff made it a bad experience. It's a shame that such a cute place could be run so poorly. I'll try something new next time.
Pleasant stay in Latin Quarter!
Hotel was located very close to several metro stops in that Latin quarter area. Hotel is close to Notre Dame and across the street from the Pantheon. Room was as expected for a 3 start hotel in Paris (tight room, hallway, and a small lift). Staff was very personable and helpful with suggestions. We found a great price reduction deal on their direct web site, which got us a 3 star hotel at a 2 star price. We would highly consider staying here again.
The Good and Bad at the Grands Hommes
A small group of us stayed at the Hotel des Grands Hommes for 2 nights, and for the most part, we enjoyed our stay. The rooms are as tiny as you can imagine, but the character of the rooms (and their views, if there is one) more than make up for the size. The bathroom showers are interesting, as you don't really have anything to block the water from pouring onto the floor, but I've heard that's typical for a European bath/shower. All around, it was a charming place to stay. However... requests made during booking (such as requesting a balcony room or asking for a double bed instead of twin beds) weren't attended to as promised. When asked to move rooms or make amends for the discrepancies, the hotel staff were slow to help or to offer compensation. Don't expect to be catered to -- the "you're lucky we're here so you have a place to stay" mentality runs rampant. Do your best to get a good room rate and you probably won't be disappointed; but don't anticipate the staff to assume an obliging attitude if you find something you don't like and feel you've unfairly paid for it.
We had problems
Okay, after our long flight over we found out that our room had water damage and we would not be able to stay in the hotel for the first of 3 nights. They finally got us another hotel but it was a big inconvenience to have to go check in and unpack/repack, ect. I asked it they could cut us some type of break for the inconvenience (not too much to ask) and they were very reluctant. Needless to say, we never got a break, nothing. The lift did not work and water was dripping from the ceiling in the bathroom. I will try a different hotel next time.
Definitely Recommended!
Loved this little hotel! Rooms are small but very charming. Bathrooms are spacious with full tub. Spotlessly clean with full amenities: blowdryer, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and TV with CNN. Closets are tiny so don't pack too much!
We opted for a "superior" room which meant the 5th floor with a tiny terrace where we ate our petit dejeuner each morning. (You can either eat in breakfast room downstairs or have delivered to your room at no additional charge).
View of Panetheon and rooftops. Centrally located -- 2-1/2 blocks to Luxembourg RER/Metro station so easy transport to and from airport (no transfer needed) and attractions. While central, also quiet for sleeping due to being the couple blocks off of main Blvd. Saint Michel. Aliment (mini market) around corner for wine, water, fruit and snacks; internet cafe also around corner. Good bistros and cafes all around. Pubs and bars within a block, next to Sorbonne.
Front desk personel were helpful and gracious, speaking very good English. Bon chance!
Can't wait to go back!
This was one of the most lovely, charming, and elegant hotels I've staid in. Rooms are large and the ones on the upper floors with the balconies are well worth the extra money. Panoramic view with the imposing Pantheon at your doorstep. Just GORGEOUS! Service was top class. Can't wait to return for another visit.
Very nice!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was very small, but also very charming. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good (but not always well stocked). The hotel is in a great area with lots to do within walking distance. Only complaint was that our room wasn't cleaned one of the three days we stayed, but overall, I would recommend this hotel.
Small is beautiful
The Hotel des Grands Hommes only has around 30 rooms and they are mostly fairly small but ours was very tastefully decorated and it had a great view of the Pantéon from its 6th floor balcony. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the breakfast is adequate, if not exciting. The location, close to the Luxembourg Gardens and just 10 minutes from Notre Dam, is excellent. Not far away in rue Monsieur-le-Prince is a gem of a bistro called Chez Maitre Paul. It's worth a visit for the Poulette a la creme gratinee and other Jura gems.
Absolutely perfect! We loved it!
Extremely charming hotel. The room was small by American standards (as most in Europe are), but not cramped, and beautifully decorated. Very clean. Plenty of hot water, large tub and great pressure in the shower.
We were there during the summer heat wave where people were dying from the heat (it was 90 degrees and up while we were there), but the A/C was great, and we were very comfortable during the times we were in the hotel.
Breakfast at the hotel was good, but we preferred to grab something at a local cafe... we wanted to try as many different places as possible.
The location couldn't have been better...right across the street from the Pantheon. You walk out the hotel door, and there it is! There are two different Metro lines that are just a few blocks away (5 minute walk), and we used these to get to all the major attractions.
The best part about the hotel was the staff...they were so helpful and accomodating. They recommended restaurants, highlighted maps, answered tons of "tourist" questions, and even tried to make movie reservations for us (although the movie we wanted to see wasn't out in Paris yet).
They spoke English beautifully and willingly, but I wanted to practice my French (I had taken a few years in high school and college). They sat patiently and politely as we butchered their beautiful language, and translated countless phrases that we brought to them on a daily basis. In fact, by the end of the week, my husband, who knew no French at all when we got there, was feeling very comfortable with simple day-to-day conversation (asking directions, ordering in restaurants, hello, goodbye, please, thank you, etc.). We found Parisians were very helpful and friendly if you at least TRIED to speak their language.
Most of the time, we would stumble through a question in French, and they would answer us in English...it was pretty funny.
In summary- wonderful place to stay. We will definitely stay there again when we go back.
Unforgetable stay at l'hotel des Grands Hommes
Fantastic hotel ! Friendly staff ! Great location ! we stayed 5 nights in a nice room with a view on the Pantheon. We will return to the hotel des Grands Hommes !

... are four different replicas of it throughout Paris. It was neat to see it, as Andy and I recently saw the real one in NYC this past December. As it was our anniversary, we felt it was appropriate to put a lock on the Pont des Arts, one of the Love Lock bridges in Paris. We bought a lock from a nearby vendor, wrote our names and anniversary date on it, and headed to find a spot on the bridge. There were so many locks on the bridge, it made it a bit complicated to find any sort of open ...
Passport to Paris

I was already nervous about going, but am really glad that I did get to experience it and to see Emily and Becca. The City of Lights will always be my first real travel experience on my own, and its pretty cool that it gets to be Paris. Sleep is much needed after this adventure!

Paris - Day 2
... The Catacombs were created in 1810, when Paris' cemeteries were overflowing and they decided to exhume the bones and storing them in three disused quarries below the streets of Paris. These tunnels are lined with the bones and skulls of millions of former Parisians. It was more than a little macabre, especially since in some places they were placed in designs.
From there, we rode the metro to visit the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur. The area around ...

Very Solid. A very solid ratchet. The slim design fits into tight spaces that other ratchets can't go. The extra leverage with the 15" is great. January 30, 2014
Nice ratchet made in USA This is a very nice ratchet it's made in USA stamped on it, That's what sold me on it...simple design , Its great for less strain on my hands. The 88 teeth are nice for close spots, and the c-clip holding the gear in place is much better than checking the snap on ratchet torx screws that strip and always back out under high torque... If your bending it you shouldn't be using it October 24, 2013
My favorite ratchet. I bought this ratchet along with the 12 inch green handle ratchet thinking the handle ratchet was going to be my favorite. I use this ratchet way more. I always reach for this ratchet. Thinnest ratchet head I own. I love this ratchet. December 27, 2013
great This thing is my go to ratchet i use it on everything. Great for drain plugs. November 17, 2013
This Ratchet is AWESOME!!! i use this ratchet everyday on everything. from drain plugs to lug nuts i use this on EVERTHING!!! i bought the early model of this ratchet and noticed it flex on the body when i use it for alingments. and i bought a newer model of this ratchet and wow stronger then ever doesnt Flex and i cant tell you how i love this ratchet. Sweet Design and i got two of them what can go wrong!!! May 5, 2013
Best Ratchet Ever Best ratchet i ever owned.will easily break free what a 1/2 ratchet does August 16, 2013
I never knew!!! I never knew they made ratchets with so many teeth. This thing allows you in tight spaces and gives you multple clicks before you can loosen or tighten the bolt. A regular ratchet, your lucky to get a click before you have to use a wrench to get the bolt out, having to flip the wrench around back and forth to get the right angle. Great Tool !!! November 17, 2011
great leverage Awesome ratchet my new favorite tool breaks free rusted bolts like nothing March 26, 2013
My Favorite Ratchet I love this ratchet!! I use it any chance that I get!! Great torque!! Smooth action!! Comfortable!! Fits into small space that other ratchets can't!! A must have for any technician!! Great investment!! November 26, 2012
awsome its length lets it fit all the way up into the tightest spots that a lot of 1/2 drives cant because there head is too big. and the 88 teeth adds to the ability of fitting into tight spaces. even for getting stubborn oil filters off in hard to reach spots, its great September 16, 2011
A must have ratchet In my opinion Matco ratchets are the best. This ratchet is excellent. It many times takes the place of a 1/2in drive ratchet since it is 15in in lenth. The head is small and can fit in places a 1/2in drive ratchet cannot. 88 teeth help a lot when room is scarce. September 1, 2011
when you need a little more...leverage very durable, handles everything that i can throw at it so far. makes certain tasks easier when space is limited, the head is much smaller than a 1/2 ratchet or breaker. January 26, 2012
Very slim fits in tight areas This is a great ratchet nice and slim and the long handle gives you great torque i find sometimes i dont even need to use my 1/2 inch when i have this thing works great! September 6, 2011
Excellent Ratchet! Nice and long, rarely grab my 8" ratchet anymore. It does flex a bit if your really reefing on it but it definatelly holds up. November 8, 2011
Fantastic Best 3/8 ratchet i have ever used. Awesome leverage. I rarely find myself reaching for the 1/2 anymore December 7, 2011
this ratchet is great Great ratchet i use it for everything every day other techs in my shop ask to use it very dependable October 18, 2011
great ratchet great tool lossens any thing you need it to, great for working on brake calipers September 13, 2011

1998 Volvo V70 XC Q&A
1998 Volvo V70 XC Question: transmission needs replacement
how much to rebuild a transmission for 1998 V70 XC AWD VOLVO? HOW MUCH TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR 1998 V70 XC AWD VOLVO? - FiXiTiFuCan
Answer 1
Hi, I don't know if I can give you an exact number but here in San Francisco,CA it might range from $2500-$3500 for a Volvo rebuilt transmission installed. It's usually a 12-14 labor hour job (conservatively). The Volvo rebuilt transmission cost about $1000 easily. Your better off using a Factory Volvo rebuilt because your spending a good amount of money to have the shop remove the transmission, you might as well put in a properly rebuilt transmission. Good luck -Sam - Samsonite79
