Since its creation, the Santa Rosa County Administrator's position was not required to undergo performance evaluations.
That changed when Commissioner Bob Cole placed the motion on the agenda during a July 2011 board meeting. Cole stated that his reasons for submitting the recommendation were that "there had never been a professional evaluation of the county administrator by the board," adding that "all the other staff is evaluated." He said he didn't think it was fair for the county administrator not to be evaluated.

There must be a full moon or something because my e-mail inbox has been dead quiet for the last two days. Besides the regular messages from Jo-Ann fabrics and Southwest airlines, there's hardly been a peep in what is normally a very active litte corner of my world.
Is this a late January/early February/dead of winter sort of thing?
A quiet inbox doesn't mean there isn't good stuff happening, though. Here's what's cooking in Spokane this week:
-hArt for Haiti. My friend Stacey Conner, who writes the often heart-wrenching and often hilarious blog Is There Any Mommy Out There? has organized an event that will give kids in Spokane a chance to help kids affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
At hArt for Haiti, children can sell their artwork, with the proceeds going to God's Littlest Angels orphanage, which is where Stacey's daughter Saige spent the first year of her life. There will also be dancing and painting and general jumping around.
hArt for Haiti will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday (Feb. 2) at Kids Sports. A $5 donation per child is requested. I can't think of a better way to spend a Tuesday afternoon with my kids.
-Another way you can give a helping hand this week is by donating gently-used items for growing, preparing or serving food (such as plates, pots and kitchen appliances) to Slow Food Spokane River, which is holding a fundraiser/thrift sale on March 6. Drop off the items Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Peters and Sons Flowers and Gifts, 512 E. Pacific Ave. (downtown).
-The Spokane International Film Festival is under way at the AMC theaters at River Park Square and The Magic Lantern, at 25 W. Main Ave. What a wonderful way to escape for a couple of hours without having to board a plane (sorry, Southwest. Your persistent e-mail messages aren't working on me.) Take a look at the lineup.

Nas/Corp-Telmah, Inc.
B-408136, Jun 10, 2013
Nas/Corp-Telmah, Inc. (NCTI), of Albuquerque, New Mexico, protests the award of a contract to Metro Medical Equipment & Supply, Inc. (Metro Medical), of St. Louis, Missouri, by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. VA 246-13-R-0669, for a surgical ophthalmic microscope for the VA Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably concluded that NCTI did not propose an equivalent product to the brand-name microscope sought under the RFP, and, as a result, improperly selected Metro Medical's higher-priced proposal for award.
We deny the protest.

Illinois Main Street celebrates 20 years in Historic Downtown Pontiac
SPRINGFIELD – October 2, 2013. As the ambassador of Illinois Main Street, Lt. Governor Sheila Simon today honored the recipients of the Lt. Governor's Award for Excellence at this year's Illinois Main Street conference. The program is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the "Driving into the Future" conference taking place Oct. 1 – Oct. 3 in Historic Downtown Pontiac.
"For 20 years now Illinois Main Street has been helping support communities throughout Illinois," said Lt. Governor Sheila Simon, who chairs the Governor's Rural Affairs Council. "I look forward to continuing to work to preserve these communities that often provide an important snapshot of our past and a vision for our future."
The conference, which is being hosted by Pontiac P.R.O.U.D. Main Street and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) – which administers the Illinois Main Street program – gives community and economic development professionals from around the state an opportunity to network, and learn about innovative new practices to rejuvenate Illinois' downtown business districts.
Simon honored individuals who have excelled in organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring of downtown commercial districts with the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Excellence. Awards were also presented for Main Street Innovation, Business, Property Owner, Innovation and Volunteer of the Year.
Recipients included:
· Batavia Main Street for its River Street: "Woonerf," which is a European concept for shared space
· Chicago Six Corners Association: Renovation of the Grayland Theater Façade and Tuck Point
· Pekin Main Street: Converting the Elks Lodge into the Fusion Building/Sabella St. Station
· Pontiac P.R.O.U.D.: Restoration of the historic Livingston County Courthouse
· Aledo Main Street: Digital promotion project
· Batavia Main Street: Creation of the Batavia Main Street Award for local residents and businesses
· Jacksonville Main Street: 2013 Diamonds and Ice Masquerade Ball
· Main Street Libertyville: Membership drive to promote local merchants

· Outstanding Main Street Business: Green Town Tavern, Waukegan Main Street
· Outstanding Main Street Innovation: ShopDowntownQuincy.com

Over the past 20 years, Illinois Main Street communities have created 9,300 jobs, opened over 1,200 new businesses, and represent public and private investment of over $750 million. In Illinois, 42 communities hold the Illinois Main Street designation.
Additional conference highlights include a 20th anniversary celebration featuring Illinois products, walking tours of Historic Downtown Pontiac, the Lieutenant Governor's Award of Excellence Gala and a proclamation from Governor Pat Quinn in honor of Illinois Main Street's 20th anniversary.
This year's keynote speaker is Valecia Crisafulli, who served as the first state director of the Illinois Main Street Program and most recently as the CEO of the National Main Street Center. The center works with a nationwide network of communities to encourage preservation-based economic revitalization, and has participated in the renewal of more than 2,000 older commercial districts during its 30-year history.

At this meeting, Davenport City Council will consider "fast track approval" giving a 65 year lease to a developer in order to build a 5 ½ story office plaza on the Mississippi River where the former Dock Restaurant was located. This uniquely significant site, literally at the foot of the Lock & Dam 15, will be forever lost to the public if this "deal" goes forward.
The City's Levee Improvement Commission has recommended against the proposal and The Quad City Times has written an editorial favoring the Commission's position.
Last week, an international group of engineers, architects and designers - all experts in waterfront development - recommended that Davenport stop the development.
The planned development is fraught with problems, from safety concerns to environmental issues and not least of which is that legally the City already has an existing agreement with the Isle of Capri for portions of the land under consideration.
Members of Levee Improvement Commission have been hoping to reclaim the site when the gambling boat is gone for public access and development of a public restaurant and interpretative center and for the dam and river and the eagles that congregate at the dam, that would follow the city's comprehensive plan for the river.
If you care about our River and the public's access to our River, please attend this meeting and voice your opposition to this utterly misguided project.

Interactive data visualizations of antibiotic use and resistance in North America and Europe
The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP) develops actionable policy proposals on antibiotic resistance for low- and middle-income countries. Proposals identify weaknesses in how antibiotics are developed, regulated, and managed, and how well countries track antibiotic use and resistance. Phase 1 of GARP encompassed work in four countries: India, Kenya, South Africa, and Vietnam. The expertise and capacity developed in these initial four countries is the core of a wider partnership involving other low- and middle-income countries to create greater awareness among national policymakers about the need for policies to control antibiotic resistance as part of a worldwide effort.
GARP is a project of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy. The GARP secretariat works collaboratively with partner organizations and national working groups in each focus country. Phase 2 of the project will include work in Mozambique, Tanzania, and two additional countries that are currently being identified to participate.
GARP Phase 1 culminated in the 1st Global Forum on Bacterial Infections: Balancing Treatment Access and Antibiotic Resistance on October 3-5, 2011, in New Delhi, India.

Here is what i'd like to do: I want to gather as many screen shots of through CPU-z that I can (of different processors and speeds) and make it into a simple database for her to thumb through. So if you guys wouldn't mind posting up screen shots of CPU-z. I will crop and cut them as needed to make them all the same so it looks good. Example: Thanks everyone in advance.
Oh btw, stock voltage for this chip is 1.29v, i found it to be stable at less voltage. EDIT: Noto too sure but this might help you. http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/

It's so hard to communicate with them using English. They can't express anything useful in English. I think that they need to train employers harder. They are kind of friendly and polite. The hotel is clean and the nightview was pretty good there. However, the breakfast wasn't that good.

Mangku Mura, Balinese Artist
The Painter of Stories
Mangku Mura (1920-1999) was considered somewhat of an outsider because he came from Banjar Siku, a ward within Kamasan village but not one of the two wards in the village where the painters traditionally reside (Banjar Sangging and Banjar Pande Mas). He was taught to paint as a young man by some of the artists from Banjar Sangging. Mangku Mura was also consecrated as the mangku (temple priest) of a small clan temple in Banjar Siku and adopted this title as part of his name as a painter. He was the closest informant to Anthony Forge and produced, via commissions, many paintings now in Forge's collection. Mangku Mura also told the narratives depicted in the paintings. Forge documented him during the process of painting.

Report – Microsoft to preview Zune replacement during E3, codenamed Woodstock
Microsoft is poised to preview its replacement for Zune during E3, according to a report on Polygon. The service, codenamed Woodstock, will not only be available through the Xbox 360 dashboard, but will be cross-compatible for Windows 8, Android, and iOS through a browser. It is being described by the site's source as "Spotify-like", and browser plugins won't be required. It also works with Facebook by allowing followers to build group playlists and share tracks. The source also claimed it will contain a function similar to iTunes Match which will allow users to find and import their music collection into the service. The service is expected to launch with Windows 8.

Being negotiated right now are American-sponsored corporate efforts to alter trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific international trade relations through new agreements that undermine or effectively nullify many countries' existing national legislation on health, environment, pricing, food safety and other issues.

Some 8,000 bridges around the country are "structurally deficient," and a battered federal budget, sequestration and Washington gridlock make it unlikely they'll be repaired soon.

Even the briefest acquaintance with this smoggy, sprawling capital is basis enough to conclude that much of the campaign rhetoric we're hearing about China is unrealistic, dishonest or just dumb.

Truthdig contributor and former "60 Minutes" producer Barry Lando argues that China has cleverly exploited poor relations between Tehran and Washington, to the point that the Middle Kingdom now imports more oil and gas from Iran than the U.S. does from Saudi Arabia.

Like a piece of Swiss cheese, U.S. sanction policy is riddled with holes, according to reports. A former Treasury official claims licenses to trade with blacklisted countries such as Iran have been doled out to the tune of billions of dollars in profits, all at the behest of lobbying groups.

Although the measure has almost no chance of passing the Senate, the House voted 348-79 to give President Obama the power to put tariffs on all Chinese imports. The legislative hissy fit is clearly intended to sate economically vulnerable voters who view China as a jobs threat.

It's been a rough year for Kyrgyzstan. There was the uprising in April that saw a new government take charge, followed by violent ethnic clashes in June, then by a mass flight of refugees. And now it culminates with food scarcity and soaring prices that affect a quarter of the population amid a broken trade and supply network.
Thirty years into the neoliberal experiment, the Great Recession is exposing the flaws of the Washington Consensus.

The Iranian government is apparently of the opinion that sanctions are not "an effective tool," particularly when those sanctions are imposed against Iran from elsewhere in the world, such as the more stringent ones that the European Union just adopted, for example.
Peace has descended on the most contentious point of conflict between East and West for the past six decades—but don't expect the folks at the Pentagon or their military contractors to celebrate.
The rules governing what we buy and sell are now playing such a decisive role in almost every major policy that we ignore them at our peril.
We are warned it is dangerously protectionist to enforce existing trade laws against China's cheap tire surge, but Obama is obligated to do so—and for good reason.
The Obama administration is relaxing some of the restrictions on travel to and business with Cuba, launching a new initiative that will allow American telecom companies to set up cell phone and other services on the island nation.
President Obama's $410 billion spending bill may paradoxically end funding for a cross-border trucking program between Mexico and the U.S. Critics of the program cite safety issues around Mexican trucks, while Mexican officials decry protectionism as policies surrounding the NAFTA trade agreement continue to fall apart.
Fourth time's the charm? Barack Obama's two official picks to serve as commerce secretary both had to drop out. Another candidate withdrew her name before it was ever announced. Now the president is reported to have offered the job to former Washington Gov. Gary Locke. So who is he?

In probably the least appropriate metaphor for relations between Israel and Palestine, Israel has allowed, for the first time in a year, Gazan flower companies to export 25,000 carnations to Europe in time for Valentine's Day, though the volume pales in comparison to previous annual exports of 60 million flowers.

The global economic meltdown reminds World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy of the 1930s, but, he says, "The crisis today is spreading even faster ... and affects more countries at the same time." That could lead to political unrest of the scale that produces world wars.
There was a time when Russia was an economic power on the rise. Sean McMeekin's new book, "History's Greatest Heist: The Looting of Russia by the Bolsheviks," explains what nipped that growth in the bud.
President-elect Obama will have more urgent matters to deal with after he takes the oath of office. But somewhere on his long to-do list, he should make a note to finally bring five decades of counterproductive American policy toward Cuba to a definitive end.
Judging by the proliferation of capital letters in the e-mail correspondence I receive, many seem worried that Barack Obama may not deliver the promised "change we can believe in."
If you believe the chatter, Barack Obama is desperately seeking a white guy—any white guy—to be his running mate. Hopefully, he doesn't choose Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, whose only major accomplishment is helping to bend his party to the will of corporations.
While supporters of the much troubled Doha Round of the World Trade Organization believe talks may have found their second wind, only the world's largest economies seem to be breathing. The form of capitalism supported by these countries is resisted by poorer nations, which rightly fear WTO deregulations would disproportionately benefit the wealthy.

The U.S. is under heavy criticism by human rights groups for withholding funds for clean water projects in Haiti as leverage for U.S.-led political reform in the country. A total of $54 million in loans to Haitians—70 percent of whom already lack daily access to potable water—is being delayed.
In our us-versus-them culture, every political campaign is a battle to define who exactly the "us" and "them" are. At their most effective, Democrats parry by defining the "us" as the majority of working people, and the "them" as the tiny group of plutocrats who control the country.

According to a new L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll, the vast majority of Democratic voters in the next three primary battlegrounds want the government to bail out struggling homeowners. Most don't seem to care that the Fed rescued Bear Stearns; they just want the same treatment.
"Ross Perot was fiercely against NAFTA. Knowing what we know now, was Ross Perot right?" It was a straightforward query about a Clinton administration trade policy that polls show the public now hates, and it was appropriately directed to a candidate who has previously praised NAFTA.

At a time when the U.S. is desperate to contain nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran, President Bush has signed off on legislation that allows for nuclear trade with India, a nation that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The deal squares with this administration's nuclear policy, which has been at its best inconsistent and at its worst catastrophically negligent.
To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, we have assembled a collection of the most memorable and compelling footage related to that day—some of it iconic and unforgettable, like the images of the planes crashing into the towers, some of it more below the radar, like Jon Stewart's first show after the attacks.
After five years, we must ask: How did the path from Ground Zero somehow lead us to Abu Ghraib? Where did the elemental goodness that inspired us in those first days and weeks after the attacks on New York and the Pentagon go?
A report by UNICEF and Terre des Hommes says Europe is not doing enough to address child trafficking, with thousands of children smuggled into Western Europe annually to become sex workers and slaves.
The N.Y. Times says "World Trade Center" marks a departure for filmmaker Oliver Stone in that the movie has no hint of a political agenda. It's a "harrowing return to a singular, disastrous episode in the recent past and a refuge from the ugly, depressing realities of its aftermath."
Listen to an excellent NPR Weekend Edition story revisiting the Jack Abramoff-Tom DeLay connection to the slave trade, forced abortions, forced prostitution happening in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. DeLay called industry on the islands a "shining light of the Republican Party" during one of many "fact-finding missions" to the region.

The acclaimed novelist and poet, who escaped from imprisonment and torture in his native Nigeria, discusses his new novella about child prostitution and sex trafficking.
From CNN.com
The famously anti-intellectual president tells reporters: " ... I read the front page and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider and I decide what's best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense." (Via Huff Po.) "I'm the decider, and I decide what's best"... someone call Jacob Weisberg to update his "Bushisms" book.
According to the N.Y. Times, Bush is beginning to look for international help on issues of national security and global economics. Hmmm ... maybe he shouldn't have set the stage for such a request by pissing off the entire world. On the "you gotta be kidding me" scale, this ranks right up there with his recent declaration that the nation must break its "oil addiction."

At the same time that China is recording huge increases in trade surpluses and currency reserves, deadly riots are breaking out on the outskirts of some of the country's largest cities.

The Shiny Girls group showcases couture-level workmanship. First, the python skin is dyed and treated in the same manner as the python in earlier groups. The pieces are stitched together at parallel points and then hammered down in order to flatten each panel. These stitched panels are sent to the factory that works on the embroidery of the micro-paillettes. The paillettes used are the tiniest available in the market and due to their small size, cannot be embroidered by hand. One bag takes typically three days to finish from cut to assembly. Lined in supple Nappa leather for a luxurious feeling inside and out. 2 chain strap with interwoven python leather (drop length: 24 cm) Double zipper closure Leather lining Small interior pocket sleeve with divider Interior back zip pocket 14.5" x 7.5" x 4.5" 37 cm x 19 cm x 11.5 cm 100% Python.

When he is a much older man, fleeting memories return to him, and obeying an instinct he only dimly understands, Austerlitz follows their trail back to the world he left behind a half century before. There, faced with the void at the heart of twentieth-century Europe, he struggles to rescue his heritage from oblivion. |

Central & South America
Brazilian Beach House Co.: Rio penthouses, beachfront villas, and private-island estates make up this small collection of 50 properties. Each has daily housekeeping and a concierge.
Standout: The fully staffed, palm-shaded Casa Azul feels secluded despite its location on a shared stretch of sand in Trancoso (six rooms; $20,790 a week). 55-21/2225-9476.
Costa Rica
Mead Brown: The majority of the 45 villas, all located along Costa Rica's Pacific coast, are exclusive. Agents are locals who have tested every excursion they book, whether it's snorkeling off the white-sand beaches of Tortuga or ziplining through the Herradura highlands rain forest.
Standout: Your only neighbors at Villa Malibu 8, in the tiny town of Bahia Herradura, are scarlet macaws and howler monkeys (four bedrooms; $15,000 a week). 888/744-6599.
Oasis Collections: A third of the company's 1,200 properties are in Buenos Aires; the rest are beachfront retreats, chic apartments, and sprawling mansions in Punta del Este, Uruguay; Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil; and Bogotá, Cartagena, and Medellín, Colombia.
Standout: The 1860 Casa Carlos Calvo, in Buenos Aires's lively San Telmo neighborhood, has crystal chandeliers and a private rose garden (four bedrooms; $4,000 a week). 631/731-1677.
Blue Parallel Villas: This Buenos Aires–based outfit has 20 villas and penthouses in Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, and the Galápagos. Prior to guests' arrival, properties are stocked with food, champagne, and fresh flowers.
Standout: In José Ignacio, Uruguay, the El Bosque estate has handcrafted wood furnishings and a pool that faces seven manicured acres (six bedrooms; $26,500 a week). 800/256-5307.
Explore, Inc.: Most of the villas listed by owner Cherri Briggs, who spends half the year in Africa, partner with safari lodges to ensure the best possible service, but all come with their own staff, vehicles, and guides. Her portfolio covers South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, and Botswana.
Standout: Spot elephants and buffalo from the acacia-shaded Sirikoi lodge, on a northern slope of Mount Kenya (three bedrooms; $37,800 a week). 970/871-0065.
New Zealand
Touch of Spice: Based in both Auckland and Queenstown, this team has the North and South islands covered, yet is small enough to provide one-on-one service to clients. About two dozen town houses are centrally located, while rural retreats sit on postcard-worthy pockets of land.
Standout: The Residences at Mountain Landing has an on-site staff and a private jetty facing the Bay of Islands, and it's a stone's throw from a series of secluded beaches (four bedrooms; $13,488 a week). 64-3/450-0855.
Villas & Apartments Abroad: With more than 750 properties around the world, the company has one of the widest ranges of listings of any we've seen. Still, it provides personalized service, setting up, say, an in-villa opera performance in Verona.
Standout: Terra-cotta tiles, exposed beam ceilings, and a fireplace round out Sarageto, a country house near Siena (four bedrooms; $6,370 a week).
A Note on Pricing: Rates given are for high season; they often drop dramatically in low season.

Rejuvenating facials at Long Island spas
After a loooong, cold winter, it's the right time for a refresher course -- we're talking about your face. Skin gets dull, congested and D-R-Y during the colder months, and a facial is a wonderful rejuvenator.
But there's a lot going on in the world of skin care, and it seems that the days of the very basic facial are virtually extinct. So to learn about some variations on the theme, we went under the steam, the stone, the cream and, eeks, even the razor. And besides the relaxing, pampering experience (some more relaxing and pampering than others), the greatest benefit of all is beautiful, healthy skin.

The bed is good. Looks nice, strong, stable, steady. The night stand only has one drawer, but looks like two from the picture.
We love this bed! It is different from anything else out there, and we were looking for something unique (not just another ordinary wood-frame bed). And, the quality is exceptional. It was delivered in separate boxes, but was easy to assemble and is very sturdy (we have low-profile boxsprings with the king bed, which makes it the perfect height and probably makes it even more sturdy). We were concerned about buying this leather item unseen, but are very happy with the look and the feel of the leather. It is so comfortable, with the headboard pillows providing added comfort when sitting up watching TV or working on the laptop. The bedstands come fully-assembled, and are the perfect height for the bed.
I love this bed! It is a platform bed, and I did not use any box spring set under the mattress. The back support is excellent! The sleek look is beautiful. The white pleather covering did receive a couple of slits while assembling it, but they are in unviewable areas. The nightstands have one drawer each that look as if they are two. But, the one drawer is sufficiently sized to hold what I need in them. I am extremely satisfied...happy...with this bed ensemble !

Guest_Pettit_* 12 Aug 2009
For those of us with Hughesnet internet. We are limited to 425 MB per 24 hour period...and as we all know, Vista puts out large updates. They do, however, allow us unlimited downloads between 1am and 6am. Currently i schedule all my large downloads to download during this time. It would be nice to have the ability to schedule autopatcher to update as well during this time.

that could be interesting, in deed. in fact, apup has to be re-written to fix a lot of issues. your suggestion is noted, but we need find someone with time, skilled in vb6 and willing to work for free to do that and this isn't an easy task.

Cellar/Tasting Notes It is silky-textured and opulent on the palate, with layers of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, spices, minerals and sweet toasted oak that flow as the wine opens in the glass.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "What a dreamy nose of crushed berries and dried flowers. Perfumes too. Then changes to Indian spices and dark fruits. Full bodied, with super well integrated tannins and a classy, long finish. So well integrated. Just a joy to taste. Better in 2013."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Orma is gorgeous. Espresso, mocha, sweet red cherries, grilled herbs and plums wrap around the palate in this sensual wine from the Tuscan coast. The 2009 doesn't quite have the exuberance or sexiness of 2007 or 2008, but it comes very close. Firm tannins frame a vibrant, energetic..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An amazing and impressive feat of winemaking, this riserva is so tightly wound with gorgeous aromatic intensity, it peels back, layer after layer, and evolves smoothly the more you leave it in the glass. Not drinking it immediately is difficult because of the delicious quality of fruit on display..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A floral and perfumed nose, with raspberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and a dense yet refined palate. A little tight still. Give it a little more bottle age. Best after 2010. 1,665 cases made." –JS
Cellar/Tasting Notes Shows dried raspberry and cinnamon on the nose. Full-bodied, with an impressive density of fruit and round tannins. Long and flavorful. Just starting to open up. Powerful and rich.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Dark berries and sliced lemons on the nose. Full body, with juicy fruit and lightly toasted. Delicious finish ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Raspberry, cherry, mineral and spice flavors highlight this elegant, vibrant red. The pure fruit is offset by a refined structure and equally fine, athletic tannins. A sense of energy drives the long, mineral-tinged finish. A wine of finesse and power."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Gorgeous aromatic nose that ranges from grapes to caramel; rich, firm, sweet yet with precise acidity, somewhere between a great Madeira and an Australian super tawny, yet unlike anything else. Absolutely spectacular, one of a kind, in a word, divine.

TRAVERSE CITY -- The Traverse City State Theatre is looking to expand and add a second big screen.
Executive Director of the Traverse City Film Festival and State Theatre Deb Lake says they are supporting city plans to fix up the rutted alley that runs behind the theatre, hoping to use that space for improvements to their movie house.
By the State Theatre's 100th anniversary in 2016, Lake says they hope to have a second, smaller screen -- that would be accessed from the back alley -- and that's why they're getting involved with city plans.
City Commissioners will hold a public hearing Monday at 7:00pm at the Governmental Center in Traverse City, to consider reconstructing the 200 Block of the alley, that runs along the Boardman River, behind the state theatre.

Charlottesville is located just east of a mountain that protects it from most of the bad weather. The weather patterns show that the bulk of any bad weather circles around Charlottesville.[read more...]
Not too big and quiet during the summer...[read more...]
I've lived in Virginia my whole life. After attending school in Richmond and beginning my professional life there (VCU, Virginia Museum), I moved to Charlottesville in then early eighties. My husband and I are not wealthy people, but we've worked hard and built a wonderful life for ourselves here. Over the years, we've considered opportunities to move back to the Tidewater area, where the lifestyle was more affordable. Honestly, and even though we do miss the water, we never gave t serious thought. We agonized a little more over a career move to the Northern Virginia area, because the money would have been so much better. In both cases, we ultimately opted for staying in Charlottesville for the quality of life it affords us. We live in Albemarle County, which is 750 square miles surrounding tiny Charlottesville. Though I moved here in my mid-twenties from a rockin' life in Richmond and resented the pedestrian-ness of the place in the eighties, that really has changed. The availability of good music, food, theater, and recreation is pretty astounding, really. I'm sorry that certain commenters on this page think the town is "full of itself". I think they just got in with people with whom they do not share a commonality. Personally, having been raised in Virginia, I do enjoy a certain level of comfort here, and I really like the big-fish-in-little-ocean ambiance. There are a lot of highly-educated people always moving in and out of the area, thanks to the University of Virginia. Also, the area is dripping in historical significance, and I do believe that sort of environment attracts a different sort of person, and that person doesn't want the city of new suburban sort of lifestyle. We're really lucky that there is a significant contingent of people who want to restrain development in the area, who hope that we can retain the rural character that does still exist outside of the city-proper. Speaking of the city-proper... it can be a very cool place to live, but I do think it warrants a little sophistication. Charlottesville, the city, is a tiny microcosm of a larger city. Cool restaurants that aren't cheap, art film theaters, great live theater, some very cool bands, etc, along with... and then, there's the bad stuff that you find in cities, like the projects and a concentration of crime, mostly larceny. I just don't think it's realistic to believe we could have all of the amazing lifestyle qualities and avoid some of the bad. We had opportunities to leave, and we could certainly consider leaving when we retire, but we can't think of any good reason to do so.[read more...]
If horses and riding are your passion, Charlottesville and the surrounding area is the perfect place to live. The gently rolling countryside provides an excellent setting for a horse farm and is a delight to ride through. Albemarle County is home to two foxhunts and there are numerous horseshows year round.[read more...]
The majestic mountains of Virginia, crisp fall breezes, locally owned and operated wineries, and luxury accomodations at some of the finest bed and breakfasts are just a few of the things that you'll experience when you visit Charlottesville, Virginia. Home to UVA and several U.S. Presidents, our town is steeped in history and culturally diverse. Rated #1 by Frommer's as one of the best cities to live in, Charlottesville offers the convenience of a big city with Charlottesville Albemarle airport servicing several major airports, as well as the hospitality of a small town. Looking for fun things to see and do? The UVA Cavalier Football team is in full swing behind their new coach Mike London playing several home games at Scott Stadium. With the edition of John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville now allows its residents to stay right here instead of having to go to a larger venue to see their favorite entertainers. Just announced, Dave Matthews is returning to Charlottesville in November! [read more...]
I completely agree with the review from BigD that the people here have an entitlement I have not quite encountered elsewhere having lived in plenty of big cities throughout my life. I also agree that unless you have a family, this is no place to be. It's expensive, unless you are a local or went to UVA you will have difficulty finding a niche, there are things to do but, they are expensive, and for what you are paying in housing and general cost of living, just live in DC. Do yourself a favor. Plus, if you get anywhere out of town, you are surrounded by one of the clannish backwoods tribes (the police won't even go to some of the back areas) of Appalachia. There are MUCH better places to live, don't waste your time, money or self esteem on this place. [read more...]
Charlottesville is your typical university town - only with a few extras. We have the academic cultural items, plus a art scene. The bar and nightlife are beginning to finally show signs of life besides just places for college students. The area has amazing natural beauty and lots to do out of doors... so why am I leaving? - As young professional starting out, the real estate prices and lack of affordable housing are forcing me out of the area. [read more...]
I moved to Charlottesville 3 years ago and my family absolutely loved it here. It has the 4 seasons but do not have the extreme weathers. It is beautiful everywhere. It is also very family friendly.[read more...]
The people here have a rare arrogance, so much so, that even transplanted New Yorkers are taken aback. There is an undercurrent of hostility in this town that can be found in every business. The people working in the service industry seem very unhappy and hostile. Considering the cost of living here, that is no surprise.[read more...]
Many people move to this town of approx. 40,000 and believe there is no crime here. Nothing could be further from the truth. While violent crime is an irregular occurence, drug and gang activity is very high. There have been identified no less than six operating drug gangs here. We also have our very own FBI office despite the small size of the town. It is possible to live a relatively safe life in Charlottesville, but be aware that danger does indeed exist here. It has a way of popping up when you least expect it. If you're in downtown Charlottesville and visiting the famous open mall, exercise caution, especially late at night.[read more...]
As one moves closer towards the University of Virginia, the cost of living increases, more notably with respect to real estate and rental rates, which is to be expected due to increased demand. The job situation is interesting, in that there are a number of quite highly educated individuals ready and willing to work for lesser wages. These "university transients" are looking for short term solutions and accept lower salaries as a result, possibly just to make ends meet. I feel that the median wage/salary in this area does not allow for much disposable income due to the higher cost of living.[read more...]
As a politically interested student at UVA, I am aware of how many extraordinary opportunities there are in Charlottesville to get politically involved and see significant speakers right here in town, despite living an hour from the state's capital, and two hours from Washington D.C. The proximity to Richmond and D.C. is also advantageous.[read more...]
We moved here thinking it would be a great place to raise our new family.It is very expensive here. The city grew so fast that companies salaries do not compare to the cost of living. Housing is very expensive, a lot of hippies and transients in the city. Groceries are also very expensive compared to where we came from. The traffic is insane!! We avoided the DC area but it is just as bad here. It takes us 20 minutes to go 5 miles...no joke. More a good place for singles not families.[read more...]
It is a quaint place. Housing prices are expensive! Demographic lacks persons from 25-35 (b/c it is sooo expensive) Traffic continually becomes more unbearable, especially when school is in session Jobs either pay $25K or $100K It is pretty The new news station CBS is top notch Great place to visit That's about it...unless you are rich! [read more...]
You may well be right, sir, but your comments are of little value to the interested visitor unless you are specific. Which problems... which perks?[read more...]
I spent 6 years in charlottesville completing my graduate degree. Just moved to Southern California for my new job. I miss Charlottesville so much that it even hurts. Many people claim that Charlottesville is too expensive, but you get what you paid for there. I believe it's one of very few cities that offer not only great outdoors opportunities but also cultural activities. Plus, you're never stuck in traffic. Those who complain about Charlottesville traffic must have not seen traffic in large cities. Homes and apartments in charlottesville are not nearly as expensive as homes in any big city. Of course, Cville IS more expensive than other cities of 40,000 people. However, it's because this city is much more exciting than those cities, and so many people want to live in Charlottesville. One problem of Charlottesville is though, there aren't enough jobs there. I just think that UVa professors are so lucky. I would fly back to Charlottesville right away if I could do my current job in Charlottesville. I have heard many people saying that they are bored in Charlottesville because there is no night life: I cannot believe what they are saying. They must have no friends. When I was in Charlottesville, I had no problem finding things to do on any random day. If you look at the local newspapers (the cville or the book), you can find countless concerts etc.. every night. The local music scene is pretty good in cville. When I lived there, there were at least 5 concerts to choose from every night in that small area. It's better than the music scene in southern california (unless you live in the center of los angeles- otherwise, you have to drive hours to get to LA even though it's only less than 20 miles away, then look for a parking space forever, and pay 20 dollars for the parking space!). If possible, we would like to move back to charlottesville in the future.[read more...]
Charlottesville has a high quality of life, with lots of cultural and recreational amentities. Many nice restaurants, art galleries, hiking and biking trails and so on. The only problem is that the cost of living is high and wages are generally lower than elsewhere in Virginia, making it difficult for everyone to access everything Charlottesville has to offer.[read more...]
Market holding very well. Inventory has grown, but pricing going up in most categories[read more...]
Charlottesville has received the reputation of being a great small city. It is a small city, and there are a great many problems. The biggest is that it is a little town with all of the big city problems and few of the perks. Also, unless you are wealthy, it is difficult to experience the city.[read more...]
would love to know more about this area[read more...]

Labor Day lunch was a disaster. We did not know it was closing that day, but there was no excuse for the problems we encountered. It took the waiter ten minutes to find menus before he seated us in an almost empty restaurant. Hamburgers and French fries were on the table before guests were informed there was no ketchup left...

For those who have tried to find this place using a GPS,the first thing to know is you will get directed to a place a few miles south of the actual location, and on this occasion I wish I hadn't bothered to find the right address. As a party of four, we got seated at a table in the middle... More
The room and the view are spectacular, but the food is disappointing. Food was generally well prepared, but still disappointing and the portions were small and expensive. They could also use more entree choices. Three of us ordered the bouillabaisee and it was so small it could have been a order of soup. We ended up filling up on bread... More
Great view and lovely restaurant. But I was disappointed in the food. I've been eating at East Hampton Point before it even had that name (was East Point House). I've eaten in the what I call the "upscale" section as well as the "casual" section. They had menu selections appropriate to those titles. I have enjoyed both very much. This... More
This is the single most beautiful restaurant in the Hamptons and the new chef's food is terrific. It's always been a gorgeous spot but the last few years the food had been mediocre. But they just hired James Carpenter who used to be the chef at 5-star restaurants Della Femina and the American Hotel and the food is outstanding again... More
Super view and good food. Nothing like in the Hamptons. Enjoy a nice long meal with a great view. Nice service, very pleasant waiters.
My nephew's Rehearsal Dinner was here last night. The food was delicious (buffet with many selections) and the service impeccable. My sister raved about their attentiveness to detail and how helpful they were. The location was scenic - beautiful sunset just as we were sitting down to dinner. The bar even serves Dark 'n Stormy's!
Emma and staff at East Hampton Point were thoroughly professional and helped above and beyond. The food was fabulous, from appearance to flavor to timing. Emma helps with event planning and execution with grace, patience and ability. I'm tough. But, Emma and East Hampton Point far exceeded our high expectations. As well -- it is a wonderful location. Highest recommendation.
What a wonderful spot to eat at...the view is absolutely incredible. The food is ok -- it has been around for years and has all of the great staples and some that hit the mark each and every time. Went on a night when there was music and the crowd was fun and the music was great. It is a... More
