Diabloceratops Gets Ready for its Debut
At the end of last summer, on my way out of Salt Lake City, Utah, I encountered a dinosaur I had never seen before in the halls of the Utah Museum of Natural History. Lying on its side was an impressive skull bristling with horns, and the placard identified it as an as-yet-unpublished creature informally known as the "Last Chance Ceratopsian" for the name of the stream near which it was found in the southern part of the state. (Though, if you read Scott Sampson's Dinosaur Odyssey, you got a brief preview of it on page 34.) Now, after numerous delays in publishing the book in which its description is contained, this 26-horned dinosaur is ready to make its public debut.
Described by paleontologists Jim Kirkland and Donald de Blieux, the 80-million-year-old dinosaur is called Diabloceratops eatoni, with the genus name evoking its "devilish" appearance and its species name honoring Weber State University paleontologist Jeffrey Eaton. A long-time friend of Kirkland's, Eaton is a fossil mammal specialist who has eschewed going after a few big dinosaurs in favor of studying the many, many fossil mammal specimens which lived alongside them during the Mesozoic, so it was only natural for Kirkland to "get back" at his friend by naming a dinosaur after him.
Even better, there may be a second species of Diabloceratops waiting to be described from the Cretaceous strata of southern Utah. While Kirkland and de Blieux were not able to confidently give it a taxonomic assignment, they mention a second skull which is very similar to, yet slightly distinct from, the better-preserved "Last Chance" specimen. As Scott Sampson has stressed on his blog, there is still a lot of interesting new material being found from these sites, and who knows what else will be found?

Such an awesome skull. Though i think a cast or model of it has been on display at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh for a couple years now. But it is yet another reason i want to search the late cretaceous of Utah. So much to find and learn from that place.
Doug – are you sure you're not confusing Diabloceratos with a possible cast of Styracosaurus and/or Achelousaurus?
A cast of this skull has been displayed at the annual Society of Paleontology meetings for several years now, simply referred to as the "last chance" skull, prior to officially being named.
I keep forgetting that Scott has his own blog now.
Assuming the book isn't pushed back anymore (scheduled for release in just…9 days!), I'll finally get a chance to read about the mystery ceratopsian I'd read about on the interwebs some three or four years ago. Exciting! I'll be interested to see where it falls out, phylogenetically speaking.
The Ogden paper seems to have jumped the gun in their eagerness to announce that the species was too be named after their own Jeff Eaton. Jeff will be in Europe when the paper comes out, so Weber State Univ. pr people (not Jeff) jumped the gun with local paper. It will be official May 28th or so we alllll hope. The U. of U. will be announcing a cool new ceratopsian from Mexico with the books release. They will unveil the very cool skull constructed by Rob Gaston (the craftsman that cast our skull)at that time. After getting our possible Tenontosaurus out of the ground, in early June, we might do an announcement on our paper on forensic entomology of Protoceratops skulls from Mongollia (ie. Maggots in Mongolia!). The publication of this new book on horned-dinosaurs will result in a barrage of announcements regarding new discoveries from all over. Should be fun.
220mya: nope. Diabloceratops for sure. Unmistakable: http://www.flickr.com/photos/via/2709335102/
[...] Noel delivered the new cast of a Diabloceratops skull, made for us by a company in Colorado. Diabloceratops was a plant eater who lived 81 million years ago. The BLM info sheet on this guy describes him as a "cranky Cretaceous critter" that was "the size of a mini-van, with a lavish headdress, intimidating horns and a grouchy disposition." (For more on Diablo's discovery on the Monument, click here.) [...]

The VMA's have always been a source of inspiration for many young people looking for fashion tips. This year was no different. At this years VMA's people were paying attention to what the stars were wearing.
Though, this year people were paying more attention to Kanye West, people were still looking at what the young starlets were wearing to the VMA's.
First up, Beyonce. She was wearing a sexy Roberto Cavalli red dress with Cescare Paciotti pumps. Rumor has it that the total of all her jewerly was 1 million dollars. Not unusal, though. Beyonce has been known to dress quite well for award shows, and the 2009 VMA's were no exception.
Interestingly enough, there were two stars at the VMA's that were dressed really, really similarly. In fact, they were wearing the exact same dress.The most intriguing part was that the celebrities were from two completely different backgrounds. Pink and Shakira. It's quite odd that you'd see two different celebrities from two different genres wearing the exact same dress. Anyway, the pictures from the event are below. Who do you think wore the best dress?
Personally, I think the dress was a better choice for Shakira than P!nk. The dress was a mini Balmain. Part of the reason I think it was a better choice for Shakira rather than P!nk is the thigh-high boots Shakira decided to wear with the dress rather than the heels P!nk wore. P!nk's legs need a little bit of work, and the way that the Shakira wore thigh-high boots added to the overall feel of the dress.
Katy Perry really surprised a lot of people at the VMA when she showed up. Personally, I wasn't expecting very much, so when she arrived with a Blonds mini. I was really, really shocked. Normally, Katy doesn't go that far into the flirty realm, but I really enjoyed the way she wore the dress.
The dress is very, very flirty. The heels were a nice touch too. I was especially drawn to the red under the heels. It blended in with the red carpet very nicely, and almost gave the illusion of her feet floating off the ground a little bit.
The last celebrity I want to put the spotlight on, is Kanye West. This celeb is about to launch his own line of clothing later this year, and eventhough he had a rather unfortunte outburst during the VMA's he dressed quite appropriately.
If you ignore the bottle of Hennessy, Kanye was dressed quite well. It was more of a, casual, but thoughtful appearance. The boots he was wearing could have been a little less loud, but everything matches, and he wasn't trying to do too much with it. Kanye looked like he was just enjoying himself. And that he certainly did at the VMA's.

KYTC: Remove campaign signs from state highway roadsides for fall mowing | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is urging political candidates and their supporters to remove all campaign signs from state highway roadsides while crews and contractors prepare to start their fall mowing cycle.
According to KYTC, all campaign signs and advertising signs will be removed from state rights of way ahead of mowing crews. Yard signs illegally placed along state highways create a safety hazard for the public and mowing crews. They also cost taxpayers in the time and effort required for highway personnel to remove them.
KYTC says homeowners in urban areas should keep yard signs behind sidewalks. In rural areas property owners should keep signs behind the area that would normally be mowed by highway crews. Utility poles are commonly placed along the edge of the right of way and can be used as a guide for general property line locations. On limited and controlled access highways all signs should be behind the fence line, no sighs should be placed on fences.
As a reminder, KYTC says both political campaign signs and advertising placards that have to be removed by state personnel will be taken to the local state highway maintenance facility. The signs can be reclaimed by the owner with proper identification within 5 working days. Signs that are not retrieved within 5 days will be placed in the trash for disposal.

The thread inserts are brass but the plugs are steel..thanks for the heads up. Do you know if the Bitspower ones are brass? http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishsistfig1.html
EDITED: If you use the Koolance fluid rusting should be less of a prob, most of the coolants have additives to reduce rusting and corrosion. (thanks Wile E for pointing that out) Thing is a lot of people use plain water (not the best for preventing rust) It does seem a bit silly when all the other fittings are brass to save a few pennies by making 1 part out of steel.
OK I am waiting for the carbonFiber to bake, few hours more than I should have a pretty cool mobo tray. I got bored so I put in the first hose (woo hooo) I am waiting for the rest of the fittings (prob mon) but this will let you see part of my thought. Here is a shot showing the iMON and rad I am using red hose but put a piece of clear for the fill tube to keep an eye on the level. I use 3/8" hose and 1/2" fittings so there is 0 restriction and clamps are unneeded. Now on to copying SkyKasts idea for the exhaust vent...
MKmods: You're stuff continues to be awesome. You've not only given me inspiration for my current build, but I'm going back and redoing my previous one.
Im making the big rectangle hole with mesh (Im not using fans though) Here is a shot of the mobo tray, I still need to clean the edges but you get the idea That stupid Ultra glo coating takes up to 36 hours to dry so I have to coat the back side tomorrow. Thanks NastyHabits.
seriously dude? You mind sharing with us how much it costs?? Unless you have a reason why not, I would totally understand that so don't worry.
I would be happy to (I dont keep secrets, too old) The carbon fiber cloth is at Tap Plastics so is the Epoxy resin and Ultra glo. http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=98& I make a panel of metal first to get the idea than I layer about 6 layers of carbonfiber cloth and soak them with the epoxy resin than its put in a mold and covered by a plastic bag and I pump all the air out (along with the excess resin) It takes a LONG time to cure so I bake it for a couple hours. Once cured I trim it (works like fiberglass but the fibers are more of a pain in the butt so I wear long sleeves and a mask) Once its shaped I mix up the Ultra glo (2 parts) and poor it over the CF panel. It flows out and makes a very thick glossy layer, the label says one coat of Ultra glo is like 50 coats of varnish (also insulates it as carbonfiber can carry electricity) The Ultra Glo can take 36 hours to dry (sucks) so after about 6 hours I bake it too and it dries in about 3. Than I need to do the other side (I probably have about 25 hours in this tray)
damn dude, thats some crazy work. Now I know why carbon fiber hoods for cars and carbon fiber body panels are sooo expensive hehe. THats crazy though, can't wait to see the finished product already installed and everything. Your work is crazy dude!!!
thanks CP...there is a much easier way to make a cool panel. http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html If you go to You Tube there are a few tutorials how to do the real thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_gI3chGtww

Football Player Dez Bryant Nearly Loses $50,000 Earring
Apparently Dez Bryant didn't pay attention when Miami Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford lost a 2.5-carat diamond earring at practice earlier this year. Bryant, who plays for the Dallas Cowboys, wore his diamond earrings during a game between the Cowboys and the New York Giants recently. After a pass he hit the ground with the football and both the ball and the earring got away from him. The diamond stud is said to be worth $50,000 (in the image above, from a different game, you can see just how large the earring is). Bryant completed three catches, 104 yards and one touchdown during the game. Aafter the Cowboys won game, the earring was later found. A security guard recovered the diamond stud and returned it to Bryant in the locker room after the game.

Hey Sammy. Don´t let it get to you. Your pleas are being read. I think it´s going to take people a little time to find the new Charity section though, as we forum members are creaqtures of habit. Anyway, I´m here now and will be bringing down 2 bags of medication for Russell to deliver. Maybe on the way to Bad Boys tonight.

The campaign around the Zimbabwe activists has borne some results. The good news is that yesterday 39 of the 45 activists had their charges dropped by the Magistrate court. The Magistrate judge (Mutevedzi) said the arrest of the 45 people was a dragnet arrest by the police who didnt verify or attach criminal conduct to each of the accused persons. The judge also stated that there glaring weaknesses in the State case and that it wasnt clear what the rest of the accused persons did to deserve to be arrested and charged with treason. ... read full story / add a comment |

> what are some options for building very small, compact clusters? I'm both Compaq and Dell sell "small-form-factor" desktops, which are roughly 12x3 in rack surface area (close to 1U, but much shallower.) this seems fairly attractive for building clusters, since, for instance, Compaq will preconfigure as you like (no cd, perhaps no disk, PXE boot on the builtin eepro100) for large orders. 3 year warantee, probably about 80W dissipation... of course, you can do pretty much the same thing yourself from commodity parts - AOpen has a SFF case/PS that would be reliable, and there are probably uATX boards with onboard NICs that would net-boot. doing it yourself would even let you go AthlonXP rather than P4. these cases usually take "low-profile" PCI cards; I don't know whether a gigabit card would fit. we're looking at them as serial-farm components, so 100bT would be plenty... regards, mark hahn.

Alzheimer's: Consider options for long-term care
Eventually, most people who have Alzheimer's need outside care. Consider the options, from respite care and adult day services to assisted living and nursing home care.
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you're caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer's, it's important to consider long-term care options. Here's help getting started.
Keeping your loved one at home
Home care for a loved one who has Alzheimer's is often highly valued. To make it possible — and support your own health and well-being — you might consider various home care resources. For example:
- Respite care. You might call on family, friends or neighbors to stay with your loved one when you need a break. If you'd prefer a more formal arrangement, consider respite care services provided by community organizations.
- Adult day centers. Adult day centers provide socialization and activities for adults in need of assistance. Some programs are specifically designed for people who have Alzheimer's disease. Staff members lead various activities, such as music programs and support groups. Some programs provide transportation and meals.
- Home health services. Home health services help with personal care, such as eating, bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting. Some agencies provide help with meal preparation and household chores. Basic nursing care — such as help with medications, wound care and medical equipment — is typically available. Some agencies provide additional services, such as physical therapy.
Considering residential care options
As Alzheimer's progresses, your loved one will need more help. At some point, you might want to consider alternative housing options in your community. For example:
- Assisted living. If your loved one needs support with personal care and daily activities, such as meal preparation, but doesn't need skilled medical care, he or she might be well-suited for an assisted living facility. These facilities are also known as board and care, adult living or supported care. Your loved one might live in an apartment or suite of his or her own or share a living space with other residents.
- Specialized dementia care facilities. If your loved one needs more supervision or help than what's available through a traditional assisted living facility, he or she might benefit from "memory care" assisted living. These facilities generally offer specialized staff training and activity-based programming. Visual cues, such as signs or pictures, are often used to help residents orient themselves. Enhanced safety measures such as secured exits are typical.
- Nursing home. If your loved one needs skilled medical care, a nursing home might be the best option. Nursing homes provide room and board and round-the-clock supervision and medical care. Some nursing homes have special units for people who have Alzheimer's — designed so that the environment, activities, philosophy of care and staff training revolve around the special needs of people who have Alzheimer's.

The Best From the Wine Web in 2010
It's that time of year when people pull out their Top, Best Of and Year in Review lists. All for jumping on the bandwagon, I decided to pull together three lists that recap my year in wine blogging. In this post I share my favorite articles across the bloggersphere, top wine stories, and my favorite post from each month of 2010. Later this week, I'll reveal my top 10 value wines (under $15) and the top 10 wines of the year.
January 2010
One of the earlier wine blogs I connected with was Joe Roberts from 1winedude.com. Joe's interview with author Robin Goldstein (Wine Trials) was my favorite wine news post of the month. The 70+ comments provide a ton of reading fodder as well.
January marked the premier of one of my favorite weekly posts, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly from Ben Simons of Vinotology.com. Most weeks, Ben provides a humorous look at news from the wine world.
The top post from Nectar Wine Blog (previously DrinkNectar) is a still very relevant post called, Is Facebook Tweeting Hurting Your Business? While the practice of Tweeting your Facebook status may be efficient, it can have a negative effect. Check out my reasoning why.
February 2010
Thanks to people like Rick Bakas of Bakas Media and Craig Drollett of Taste Live, online taste and tweets became commonplace in 2010. Events in 2010 allowed me to explore wine from Chile, Virginia, Texas, and Michigan and celebrate #WAMerlot, #CaliCabs, #CabernetDay, #SauvBlanc, #Chardonnay, #WAWine, #Champagne, and more.
Wine Bloggers Bite the Big One: This post from @DirtySouthWine (aka Hardy Wallace, aka NPAHardy) was in response to recent allegations that wine blobbers are a bunch of non-influential, wine whores railing against traditional media and seeking free wine. This amazing post will have you laughing from poop to chainsaws.
The most active post on my site for February tapped into a vein of hostility toward restaurant wine prices. Wine Ripped off and Ticked Off (60+ comments) – A look at the horrible wine practices of restaurants and their 400% mark-up, uninspired wine lists and crappy wine glasses.
March 2010
For me, March was a break out month with #WAMerlot. The partnership with 10 Washington wine writers helped make many connections that have turned into friendships. The month ended with a great trip to Seattle to participate in Taste Washington. It was actually during that visit that some of the initial ideas for Nectar Tasting Room began to develop.
Two of my favorite wine blogs provided highlights from March. Tamara Belgard of the now quiet Sip with Me blog (Tamara now works in marketing for Cana's Feast Winery in Oregon) writes an incredibly sensual post titled, My Date With Pinot Noir. Warning, either have a cold shower running or your significant other nearby. The second highlight is an ambitious series from this year's recipient of Best New Wine Blog, SwirlSmellSlurp.com. The "his and her" blog has attempted to taste wine from all 50 states in the series United Slurps of America. At last check the team has sipped through wine from 17 states.
While not necessarily one of the most viewed posts of the month, it is one of the events I am most proud of in 2010. "The Night Merlot Was King" was the recap of the #WAMerlot event. Through social media a group of bloggers was able to mobilize 100 wineries to showcase Washington Merlot for online and offline events.
April 2010
April marked the mobilization of the online wine community against House bill HR5034. Industry heavy hitters Tom Wark and Free the Grapes helped generate significant buzz against the bill that threatens to limit how wineries can ship wine to customers. I strongly urge you to join the American Wine Consumers Coalition to stay informed on important news that impacts wine consumers.
Wine Enthusiast contributor Steve Heimoff provides some great content to the wine blogging world. Steve Heimoff's' post "5 Questions for Robert Parker" generated 50+ comments. Steve asks the questions respectfully and eloquently.
My most viewed post – 7 Social Media No Brainers – While these tips may seem basic, I guarantee there is more than one that you're not doing. I see these basic rules broken every day. You should check it out. Let me know if you are doing ALL seven.
May 2010
Some of the most re-hashed stories of the year provided hours of reading enjoyment and online debate. While not specifically occurring in May, seemingly every blogger has covered the topics of wine scores / 100 point score and Biodynamics. Palate Press presents a very well thought out insight into credibility and how Robert Parker may have hurt his street cred by introducing something better than 100 points. VIEW POST.
Stuart Smith of Smith-Madrone Winery provides an alternate view to the practices of biodynamic farming on his blog Biodynamics Is a Hoax. "I submit that if you believe in science you cannot believe in Biodynamics, and the corollary is just as true, if you believe in Biodynamics you cannot believe in science."
I'm very excited to share that the most viewed post for May was a video, picture and text recap of our journey to Lake Chelan, WA. VIEW POST – I love the Chelan area and look forward to our annual visit.
June 2010
June's landscape was dominated by the 2010 Wine Blogger's Conference. 300+ wine bloggers, writers, trade, and media converged on Walla Walla, Washington for a showcase of the new media of wine blogging. The 2010 Wine Blog Awards recognize excellence in new media. The list of winners is a showcase of the best wine writing on the internet. The 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference will be held in Charlottesville, VA.
A post that went live in the final 3 days of the month quickly gained traction and took the lead for most viewed post in June. Behold the future of obscure sport TV, the next big reality programming…The Sport of Speed Wine Blogging!
July 2010
The wine world is not immune to economic woes. 2010 news was full of wine consolidation, winery closures, and news of a glut in bulk juice around the world. In Texas we witnessed the auction, withdrawal and re-auction of Cap*Rock Winery. Similar woes beset Virginia's Kluge Winery and California's Cosentino Winery later in the year.
Featuring one of the more creative pieces of writing this year is a piece from Wayne Kelterer of the blog, A Long Pour. Wayne's creative interview of the wine grape, Merlot is humorous and witty. Find out why Merlot is sad no one cares anymore.
The most viewed post of the month quickly became one of the most viewed posts of the year on Nectar Wine Blog. Take a look at some creative ways to recycle your wine bottles. I guarantee you'll be inspired to buy a glass cutter.
August 2010
Power belongs to the entrepreneur. In August (and the months that followed), I watched several of my friends step out in pursuit of their dreams to be in the wine world. Using social media to build contacts and networking connections, good people like Joe Roberts, (http://1winedude.com) Ed Thralls (http://winetonite.com), Tamara Belgard, (http://sipwithme.blogspot.com) Rick Bakas (http://bakasmedia.com), and Ben Simons (http://vinotology.com) have blazed trails of inspiration for many people.
A lot of debate occurs about the place of the 100 point scale in the wine world. Vintank, and several influential bloggers, are looking to unseat the balance of power by introducing a "BADGE" method of rating. Why We Think the Badge Concept Will Work
Perhaps one of the cleverest videos of the year belongs to the folks at Hope Family Wines in the Office like spoof to promote their new wine, Troublemaker.
September 2010
As attention turned toward harvest one of most insane stories of the year was from @vinography on the story of how thieves managed to steal a ton of Syncline Winery Mourvedre grapes…right off the vine! The Wine Super Villain Strikes
News was also dominated by the unseasonably cool weather in Washington and California (the country's premier grape growing regions). The challenge would continue through harvest with cool weather continuing in Washington and a strong late season heat wave making things challenging in California.
I really enjoyed this creative post from my friend, Taryn Miller. Her ode to Cabernet Day, "Twas the Day of Cabernet" was creative and well written poetry.
The most viewed post at Nectar Wine Blog was A Blend of Apples and Grapes – iPads in the Tasting Room.
October 2010
October saw a battle of booze in Washington State. Initiatives 1100 and 1105 threatened to end the three-tier distribution system and the states monopoly on booze sales. Neither initiative was very well written and in the end they both died at the voting booth. Sean Sullivan of wawinereport.com provided a very detailed analysis of both. Sean is one of the most valuable Washington wine resources in the state!
The always humorous and self deprecating Suburban Wino kicked off his new series, Booze in the News. Joe Herrig is one of the nicest guys in the wine world and his site is a must read for those into good wine, good food, 80's movie / TV trivia, and odd tangents.
In October, I announced the upcoming launch of Nectar Tasting Room. The shared space wine tasting room features five Washington wineries and is the culmination of the reason for starting this wine blog. I was humbled by the massive support from the wine community. Twitter analytics show that the potential reach of this announcement surpassed 250,000 people.
November / December 2010
While I've been buried in the work that revolved around the release of Spokane Wine Magazine and the upcoming opening of Nectar Tasting Room, the amazing wine writing continued to fill the interwebs. This creative minds at VinTank outdo themselves with this unique interview with Craig Wolf from the Wine Spirits Wholesalers Association.

Wow, what a year. As I looked back at the posts and news, I was overwhelmed with the volume and quality of content. So many things were omitted here for the sake of length. Book releases from friends Evan Dawson (http://www.evandawsonwrites.com), Paul Gregutt (http://paulgregutt.com) and Rick Bakas (http://quickbitesbook.com), consistent quality content from Jeff Lefevere (http://goodgrape.com), the building of a brand by Barbara Evans (http://seattlewinegal.com), the retirement, un-retirement and disappearance of The Hosemaster of Wine, and so much more mark an amazing 2010. Cheers to the wine blogging world and cheers to an eventful, profitable, and passionate 2011.

Nectar Monthly Honors for November 2010
November has come to a close and it looks like the winter of 2010 and 2011 is going to be brutal. It wasn't even Thanksgiving yet and we had a night of 7 BELOW zero and I had to shell out $200 to get the pipes unfrozen at our rental property. But I digress, you're not here to hear me complain about Spokane winters you're here to see the top posts and wines for November (at least that's why I hope you're here).
November's 22 posts generated another month of record traffic (7 months running). The 18 formal wine reviews included one wine that could potentially be up for wine of the year. This 'monthly honors' post marks a full year of monthly recaps which will lead me to an annual list of the top 10 value wines and top 10 overall wines to be posted later in December. Closing in on 300 reviews, this will prove to be quite a challenge. One sad note for November, I let my consecutive weekday post streak die on November 12. I did provide a significant update to a previous post that day, but technically, nothing new. Officially, the streak lasted 9 months 2 weeks.
November included quite a few highlights. The first issue of Spokane Wine Magazine arrived on 11/9. This little blog turned 1 on 11/11. I used Twitter to get the media's attention about my struggles with the city's permitting process. I was on TV twice (once for the tasting room and once for the magazine). The tasting room opening has been progressing but is delayed until late December. Finally, a project that I've been working on for 18 months in my day job finally went live.
While not as cool as the recent American Music Awards, here are the recipients of November's Nectar Monthly Honors:
Wines of the Month
Best Value Under $15
Six of the 18 wines this month qualified for the value category. While wines from Parducci Winery were a good value, the best value was from a Washington Winery with a view, Maryhill Winery. While the review was done in a mass tasting setting and my notes aren't quite as robust, the wine stands on it's own as a trustworthy value.
Maryhill Winery Winemakers Red ($10)
Early on, Maryhill embraced the value proposition when other Washington wineries were exploring higher priced boutique business models. With wines over $30 selling at 20% of the levels seen in years past, the $10-$20 price point wine is the sweet spot. Maryhill's flagship wine, the Winemaker's Red, which makes up 30% of their production, sells for only $14 in the tasting room and can often be found for under $10 at retail establishments. How is the wine? My notes say…
"Dark red fruits with fragrance of lilacs and campfire with a medium mouth feel, well integrated oak and tannin. 3/5"
Read the full Maryhill Winery review
Best Overall Wine
This wine was hands down the best wine of the month. While some months are a challenge to pick, the Merlot from Bolen Estates winery still resonates on my palate. Local winery, Nodland Cellars makes a strong play as the runner up.
2007 Bolen Family Estates Merlot (Reviewed Here)
At $60, the 2007 Merlot is full of amazing berry flavor and aroma. You can smell the wine before you even put it to your nose. Subtle hints of cinnamon are intermingled with the bright fruit. In the mouth you get a sense for the careful attention given to this wine. The fruit was fermented in 3 different methods to achieve the desired balance and character. About 20% of the wine spent 26 months in French oak. The flavors are full and big without being obnoxious. A velvety texture covers the entire palate and layers of fruit, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla erupt from front to back. The finish is lingering and brings good structure with the perfect amount of tannins. There is a slight heat coming off the 15.2%ABV.
For most, this is not your daily drinking affordable wine, but the Bolen Family Estates 2007 Merlot is worth the price for your special occasion or if you just want to impress the hell out of someone to prove how good merlot can be. If the 2007 vintage is any indication of the future, merlot has made a comeback and Bolen Family Estates is establishing the legacy they intended. 4+/5
Runner Up: 2007 Nodland Cellars Avant-Garde (Reviewed Here)

Nectar Monthly Honors For October 2010
It is always fun looking back at the previous month seeing where I've been, what I've drank and all the fun articles and posts that people across the bloggersphere have written. October, like all the months prior to it, proved to be an amazing whirlwind adventure of wine, friends, and more. The thing that separates October from the previous 10 months of this blog are major announcements of Nectar Tasting Room, rebranding from DrinkNectar.com to NectarWineBlog.com, and the completion of the first issue of Spokane Wine Magazine. Through all of this, you have made October the most visited month in the history of this site (six consecutive monthly increases). Thank you for your support!
Here is a look at the best of the best from October 2010. View previous Nectar Monthly Honors recipients, here.
Wines of the Month
Best Value Under $15
This month 10 of the 23 wine reviews qualified for this category. With reviews from Yellow Tail, Pepperwood Grove, and Silver Leaf Winery, there was one clear standout wine deserving of the best value under $15…
Pepperwood Grove Old Vine Zinfandel (Reviewed Here)
Tweets from the machine:
nectarwine: So, here we go – at $5 this is a killer value. Good flavor, good finish, good acid – this is a winner #biggreenbox #donandsons
pencilarms: #biggreenbox. Just tasted the zin. Lovely. Nice acidity and balance where is it sourced from? What makes it "old"
JohnOnWine: I was happy to taste this Zin; tired of high sugar, alc heat, fruit and pepper bombs. No more blown palate. #biggreenbox #donandsons
Light burgundy in color and very translucent, can see to the bottom of the glass. At only 13.5%ABV (refreshing for a California Zinfandel), this is on the very low side of alcohol for Zins. Good aromas of blueberry, subtle strawberry, tobacco spice and more. It's all mellow, but it's there. The palate is very nice as well with flavors of plums, strawberries and mild pepper. The acidity is well balanced and the finish is lovely. Definitely the bargain find of the four wines tasted. While not complex, there are good flavors in this wine. 3/5
Runner Up: 2008 Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz (Reviewed Here)
Best Overall Wine
The winner and runner up for best wine of the month were both from the same tasting. I was very impressed with the quality and consistency in the Chile red blends tasting. If you're looking for intriguing new wines to try, keep your eye open for Chilean wine.
2007 Emiliana Coyam (Reviewed Here)
The blend of 38% Syrah, 21% Cabernet, 21% Carmenere, 17% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Mourvedre exploded with massive aromas of fruit, flowers and spice. I loved the fragrant eucalyptus and violets juxtaposed with the spilled spice rack. The wine is also full of flavor in the mouth with a powerful, yet soft dark fruit and evergreen tree. The oak treatment is very well integrated and the 15% ABV does not come across as strikingly hot. The finish on the wine is thick without being chewy or tart. This Bordeaux style wine is top notch wine for just $29 suggested retail. 4+/5
Emiliana is 100% organic and biodynamic.
Runner Up: 2007 Casas Del Bosque Family Reserve

Nectar Monthly Honors for September
September news has been dominated by the 2010 harvest. Heavy rains in the Northeast, high heat in the Southeast, record lows then record heat in California and record cool temps in Washington have made this year's grape growers and wine makers very nervous. Quality journalism and news continues to make its mark within the wine blogging community. The ability for bloggers to create quality content shows the future of wine news.
The month began with the massively successful world-wide Cabernet day. September ended with two sensational and unbelievable stories in Washington State with the great grape caper (thieves steal one tone of Mourvedre in the night) and K-Vintners contentious charge against anonymous bloggers. This is a look at my favorite stories and wines for the month of September.
Check out previous Nectar Monthly Honors recipients:
Best Value Under $15
September didn't see too many formal reviews of wine under $15, but the wine below certainly earned top nod. Too bad summer is over, or I could see myself enjoying quite a bit of Albariño.
2009 Martin Codax Albariño (Reviewed Here)
- The Stuff: 100% Albariño from Rias Baixas, Spain; Whole berry crushed and fermented in stainless steel; 40% malolactic fermentation; 12.8%ABV
- The Swirl: A nice crisp and clean straw color in the glass.
- The Sniff: During a blind tasting I could potentially mistake this for a Riesling with the petrol, citrus and apple aromas. The fragrant aromas help drive the point home on the palate
- The Sip: Slightly tart, slightly crisp and slightly tropical describes the flavor profile on this wine. A very enjoyable flavor that has a slight steely minerality on the finish. A nice full mouth feel is present from the malolactic fermentation.
- The Score: At $12-15, this is a nice wine that leaves a feel good flavor in the mouth. Not a sipper for me, but definitely a fun wine to pair with light summer food and seafood. 3+/5 Recommend
No runner up selected:
Best Wine
With 17 formal wine reviews for this category, the selection was tough. There were several wines that earned 4/5 and 4+/5 ratings.
2009 Mollydooker Carnival of Love (Reviewed Here)
- The Stuff: 100% Shiraz from the Gateway vineyard in McLaren Vale; 97% new and 3% used American oak for 12 months. 3.8% RS; 16%ABV, screw cap enclosure – 90% Fruit Weight
- The Swirl: As with all the MD Shiraz this wine is pure purple passion. Very thick and pure like liquid glass. The Enchanted love is one of the darker wines I can recall seeing.
- The Sniff: Beautiful scents of violets, sweet sugar, bright blueberries, rich plums and spice. I think about 10 minutes went by before I quit smelling this wine. An enjoyable experience even before the sip.
- The Sip: A wonderful evolution of flavor happens on this wine. Tasting the wine gives you an understanding of what "fruit weight" is. The flavor seems to wrap every square inch of your mouth. Not a single taste bud is left out of this experience. Great presentations of fruit, spice, and even some dried tomato and coffee components.
- The Score: The Carnival of Love is a sensory experience not to be missed. This is truly a wine event, if ever I've had one. A huge step above in balance over the previous vintage and crafted with subtle intricacies that keep you wanting another sip. Keep in mind this is not a subtle experience of strolling through a park enjoying the serene waterfalls and flowers, this is a high octane double loop roller coaster at 70MPH! At $90, a challenge for most but if you want to really impress a wine lover (especially one who enjoys Aussie Shiraz), you'll score big points here! 4+/5
Runner Up: 2008 Maison Bleue Roussanne "La Vie Douce" 12.7%ABV (reviewed here)

Nectar Monthly Honors for August
August has come and gone and with it is the summer that never happened. Weather has been unseasonably cool across the northwest and the brief glimpse of warm weather in late July and early August seems to be left as a teaser for summers gone by. The weather is affecting the vineyards too, leaving them 10-12 days behind. At this pace we could be harvesting the grapes with the Mayflower pilgrims. The cool weather certainly didn't cool things down across the bloggersphere or here on DrinkNectar.
August ended with my streak of daily posts (weekday) stretching on to seven consecutive months now and with readership hitting an all time high, 25% higher than last month. I have to give major thanks to Ben Simons and Sean Sullivan for holding the fort down while I was on vacation in New York. I made the commitment to leave my laptop at home but thank goodness for smart phones and good friends!!
The list of wines reviewed here on the site has passed 200 but this month only saw 16 formal reviews. Choosing the best of the best was fairly difficult. Below are the best value wines under $15, best wines, and my Nectar Monthly Honors of my favorite articles served up on the twitter machine in August. It's not quite as cool as winning an Emmy but the after party rocks! Cheers and Drink Happy!

Best Value Under $15
2008 Caterina Chardonnay $12 (REVIEWED HERE)
- The Stuff: 100% Chardonnay from Preston Vineyards. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and stored in 50% oak for 6 months. 13.5%ABV, 500 cases produced
- The Swirl: Lighter straw color reminiscent of wheat. In the glass the wine gives off a thicker viscosity
- The Sniff: Subtle nose (as typical of Chardonnay) with hints of toasted almond, honey, and cinnamon.
- The Sip: Very impressive with thick juicy flavors. A subtle effervescence greats the tip of your tongue and then gives way to an abundance of fruit. Lots of subtle layers in this full bodied white wine with honey, crisp pear, vanilla, and peaches. The finish on the wine has moderate acid and dissipates quickly.
- The Score: At only $12 this wine outperforms many at twice the price. This is a strong recommend and a definite re-buy for any food appropriate dinner or Chardonnay lover. 4/5
90pts Wine Enthusiast; Paul Gregutt
No runner up selected for August
Best Wine
2007 Gilbert Cellars Allobroges $20
Recently, I spent a weekend with Sean Sullivan of Washington Wine Report. Our agenda was world wine blogging domination but we did manage to get out and about in the town of Yakima for a few hours of wine tasting. One of our stops was the highly recommended Gilbert Cellars. The stop did not disappoint.
The Rhone inspired Allobroges is Gilbert's flagship wine. At only $20 the Syrah focused blend of 55% Syrah, 31% Mourvedre, and 14% Grenache is a wonderful blend of smooth spice, dried fruit, and earth driven structure. As we tasted through the selection of wine, the Allobroges stood out as being balanced and intriguing. I expected it to be at the top of their price tier, not the lower end. With a 700 case production, winemaker Justin Neufeld fermented the grapes in small one ton bins before moving the juice to age for 22 months in 17% new French and American oak barrels. 14.7%ABV. 4/5

Friends Pursuing a Dream
In August I watched two good friends demonstrate their bravery by leaving the comfort of their normal routines to pursue their dreams in the wine business. Ed Thralls from WineTonite.com trekked across the country to be a cellar rat at Holdredge Winery. Ed, good luck my friend, here is to your future! Washington is calling!
Also throwing caution to the wind is fellow amigo Ben Simons from Vinotology. For the last week, Ben has been pimping, schlepping, demonstrating his mad skills across the great state of California in search of a gig in marketing at a winery. Ben is a talented project manager, writer, and understands the relationship marketing world we are now in. ANY winery would be smart to hire him…hellooooo…Washington!
A Revolution Begins
A lot of debate occurs about the place of the 100 point scale in the wine world. Vintank, and several influential bloggers, are looking to unseat the balance of power by introducing a "BADGE" method of rating. Check out all the great posts here. Lots of amazing conversation and debate.

12/20/2007: USCIRF Calls for Reform of Turkmenistan's Repressive Religion Law, Removal of State-Imposed Ideology from Religious Practice |
Contact: WASHINGTON-The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom is calling for reform of Turkmenistan's repressive religion law and the removal of any state-imposed ideology from religious practice in the formerly Soviet Central Asian nation. At the launch of the Commission's latest Policy Focus study on Tuesday, Chair Michael Cromartie outlined several positive steps the government has undertaken since the death one year ago of President Saparmurat Niyazov but concluded, "Unfortunately, Turkmenistan's oppressive laws and practices remain in place." Freedom House co-sponsored the release of the Commission's Policy Focus Turkmenistan, which was based on a Commission trip to Turkmenistan in August to assess the state of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief as well as related human rights. The Commission was the first U.S. government delegation to focus on human rights in Turkmenistan following Niyazov's death. The delegation met with the new president, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Education, Culture, and Internal Affairs. It also held meetings with religious communities and civil society organizations. The Commission raised key concerns with Turkmen government officials, including:
The Commission acknowledges that the government has undertaken some positive actions, including releasing the former Chief Mufti, Nasrullah ibn Ibadullah, from prison-a move that the Commission had long advocated. The Commission encourages it to implement reforms to bring Turkmenistan's laws, policies, and practices into accord with international human rights norms. At the very least, these steps should include reform of the religion law, allowing members of all religious communities in Turkmenistan-registered or unregistered-to engage freely in activities protected under international law, and the removal of any state-imposed ideology from the religious practice of Turkmenistan's citizens. Until tangible reforms have been implemented, the Commission continues to recommend that the U.S. government should designate Turkmenistan as a "country of particular concern," or CPC. Senior Policy Analyst Catherine Cosman noted that the book of Niyazov's spiritual writings, the Ruhnama, which the state forcibly promoted, continues to be present in mosques, which are tightly controlled by the state. Police raids on and other forms of harassment of registered and unregistered religious groups have increased somewhat this year, she said. The Commission's findings and recommendations on Turkmenistan can be found in the Winter 2007 Policy Focus.

COLUMBIA -- The University of Missouri is feeling the pressure to solve a crime some call racist.
More than 300 people showed up for a campus discussion about the incident Monday night.
"We all know what happened here is a travesty, and we are not happy about it," said one student. Students who spoke denounced the dumping cotton balls on school property, and called on Mizzou to better promote diversity. "It was an event looking to divide students on campus," said Student Body President Tim Noce. "That was my main concern." "The message from the university to students that we will rise beyond this, that we will work with them to ensure reinforcement of those core values of the university," said Chancellor Dr. Brady J. Deaton. Last Friday cotton balls were found strewn across the lawn in front of the black culture center.

Why a baby can not eat honey
Formerly it was very common for babies to be calm sweeten the pacifier with any sweet or honey product. This practice was condemned by the entire scientific community, not only for the negative impact it can have a lasting and effective breastfeeding, but also affect oral health.
We must not fail to mention that represents a risk to the health of children under one year old, who under no circumstances should eat honey, because a small amount can be extremely dangerous. Its consumption can lead to allergic reactions, which in effect can be prevented.

Corporate Responsibility
At IMS Health, responsibility begins with our commitment to customers. It's a commitment to doing all we can to advance the quality of global healthcare.
We also inspire our teams to behave responsibly, ethically and always with an awareness of the greater good. We extend that support to our communities, where IMS Health makes a lasting contribution to a range of cause-related projects, philanthropic and fundraising activities.
Customers count on us
Whether dealing with customers or suppliers, we are guided by core values and guiding principles that shape our approach to responsible, ethical business conduct:
- Observing the ethical standards of society: We will adhere to the highest standards of integrity and business ethics, and deal fairly with customers, suppliers, strategic partners and fellow employees.
- Confidentiality: We will respect the confidentiality of information we receive or create. That includes our commitment to protecting individual patient privacy as it relates to the data we analyze and distribute.
- Fairness and Integrity: We will compete vigorously, but fairly. Our rating, measurement and evaluation processes will be conducted with the utmost integrity.
- Environment, Health and Safety: We will operate our business in harmony with the environment and maintain a healthy and safe workplace.
- Dignity and Respect: We will maintain employment practices based on equal opportunity for all.
- Complying with the Law: We will abide by the letter and spirit of all applicable laws.
IMS Health people make the difference
The key to our success is our people, whose expertise, diversity and commitment set the standard for the industry.
We actively cultivate an environment where they can learn, grow and innovate; where integrity and respect for individual performance and collective success are core values; and where differences are encouraged. By embracing our differences, we create innovative solutions that are good for IMS Health, for clients, and for the advancement of healthcare everywhere.
At IMS Health, the rights and well-being of our people — and employment practices based on equal opportunity for all — are protected through our Policy on Business Conduct.
In-kind giving
IMS Health believes that better information lies at the heart of a better world. We support the work of academic and medical research institutions by offering our unique information and analytic assets, and consulting expertise, to researchers at special discounted pricing. IMS Health also considers pro bono support whenever possible.
In addition, a significant amount of IMS Health information useful to researchers conducting studies is readily available in the public domain. Our website includes a bibliography of publications and studies citing IMS Health information.
Connecting with the community
With cancer so pervasive in our society, IMS Health has made support for cancer prevention, treatment and research a focus of our corporate philanthropy efforts. Through our IMS Health Cares program, we help our colleagues help others by supporting their personal efforts on worthy, cancer-related causes. IMS Health supports employee fundraising activities with up to $150 per person annually for participating in local, community-focused events. We have contributed more than $1.5 million to cancer organizations around the world since 2008.
From Philadelphia to Singapore, from London to Tokyo, our employees are making a difference in the lives of others by running, walking, swimming and biking to support health initiatives. We've made major contributions to organizations including The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Fondation Pour la Recherche Medicale, and CancerCare.
These efforts are complemented by initiatives not necessarily focused on health, but that have an impact on local communities. In the U.S., we support higher education and encourage contributions to universities, colleges, and organizations that support educational institutions. For disaster relief, IMS Health matches employee contributions made to organizations such as the Red Cross. And, IMS Health has partnered with the United Way in Canada and the U.S., matching employee pledges 50 percent to advance the United Way's mission of mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world.

Living close to the shore in Connecticut offers Jacques the opportunity to celebrate the bounties of the sea. He loves seafood and begins this menu with a Picante Mussel Pilaf. Next, Jacques surprises viewers with a novel take on a breadcrumb coating for Onion-Crusted Sole with Anchovy Butter. He ends with a popular French dessert that's not quite an omelet...not quite a custard...it's an Apricot Clafoutis.
