Man dies saving young girl in Whitman
WHITMAN, Mass. (WHDH) -- A man was struck and killed as he apparently tried to save a 4-year-old girl from an oncoming Dodge pick-up truck on Temple Street in Whitman Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses said the 38-year-old man pushed the child out of the way of the oncoming truck. The driver, identified as Richard Brown, 46, of Attleboro, was visibly upset at the scene. Brown's license was suspended indefinitely by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles on Monday, but he has not been charged.
"I think this guy's an actual hero because it could have been two people killed," said Whitman's fire chief.
Neighbors said the man who was killed was like a father to the girl who was injured.
"We'd just see him out front here and he just seemed like a really decent guy. We'd see him with the little girl," said Kerri Mullen, a neighbor.
The girl was also struck by the truck and airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital where she is in serious, but stable condition.
"We saw him often pushing her on the stroller -- kind and caring to her," said one neighbor.
Police said the two were crossing the street when they were hit by a pick-up truck. Authorities said the man is the boyfriend of the girl's mother. They believe he may have tried to pull the girl out of harm's way.
"It does appear that he may have in some way tried to shield the girl from the truck," said Chief Scott Benton of the Whitman Police Department.
"[The driver] made a statement at the scene that he looked up and they were right there -- he didn't see them -- and then all the sudden they were right there," said Benton.
Police said they interviewed several witnesses and confiscated the driver's cell phone to check for the possibility of distracted driving.
"In an investigation like this of course you're going to try to do everything thorough and do the right thing. That can either help or clear the operator, at least as far as that goes," said Benton.
Police will decide in the coming days if they will charge the driver.

Painted on the wings and panels of aircraft to identify them, the Royal Air Force roundel has been in existence since 1915. At the start of WWI anti-aircraft gunners would fire on anything they encountered, enemy or ally, which quickly meant identification was required. The roundel was designed after ground troops found it difficult to distinguish between the Union Flag/ St. George's Cross and the German Iron Cross. Since then there have been many incarnations to suit a variety of tastes but it is the modern standard, called Type D (Ratio 1:2:3), which has been adopted by mods in popular culture and most notably for fans of cycling, Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Mod derives from the term modernist, used in the 1950s to describe musicians and fans of modern jazz, as opposed to those who preferred trad, or traditional forms. Colin MacInnes 1959 novel, Absolute Beginners, is one of the first cultural documentations of this 'type', the main protagonist being a free-roaming teenager in Italian-style clothes who listens to jazz and drives a scooter. This earlier beatnik type then developed into the more common creature described as mod, which were – to generalise a term open to interpretation – working class dandies who wore the latest fashions and had a propensity for African-American-influenced music. The British R&B (rhythm & blues) sound exploded in the 1960s, no more well purveyed than by London band The Who. Their 'maximum R&B' and dress sense mirrored the tastes of their audience and shot them to fame as the embodiment of mod culture.
These sharp, iconoclastic, hyper-cool youths took direct influences from 'teds' and 'beatniks' and made it socially acceptable for men to be interested in fashion and dandyish tendencies and women to act with far more freedom (think miniskirts and short hair). These dedicated followers of fashion were avid consumers and – much like the pop art of the era – appropriated distinctive and recognisable motifs and symbols. So as well as Desert Boots and tailor made suits, things like the union flag and the Royal air force Roundel became part of the visual vocabulary.
The use of the RAF Roundel may (or may not) also hint at a sense of irony. After all, the Ministry of Defence's acronym is MoD… Indeed the interest in military artefacts extended to the use of Parkas on scooters to protect said tailored suits… And today, you can find it on other performance garments, namely the Rapha Wiggo Pro Base Layer. Sir Bradley Wiggins is, if you didn't know already, a big fan of mod culture and is known for his sharp dress sense and love of music from the Small Faces to The Verve and beyond. He certainly cuts a hip and streamlined figure when riding at full tilt out on the road.

Choosing sun or shade for plants
By Adrian Hunsberger
Q. I will be planting many shrubs and flowers in my yard over the summer. Can you suggest plants for full afternoon sun and shaded areas as well?
via e-mail
There are too many plants to list here that you could use. However, your local Extension office has many publications to guide you. Also, check out this website for low maintenance plant lists and shade-loving plants for South Florida: http://miami-dade.ifas.ufl.edu/Pubs_LnG2.shtml
Many, if not most perennials (including shrubs) can take some shade and benefit from it. However, if it's deep shade, there are fewer choices for flowering plants but many colorful foliage plants do well in shade.
Find sunnier areas for flowering plants since flower production decreases (usually) the less light the plant gets.

Eva lived near the beach and loved to play volleyball. One day she dove to make a play and landed with her face in the sand. She wasn't hurt, but when she picked herself up, her left eye was blinking constantly and felt gritty and wet. She wiped away the tears, but the eye didn't seem to get any better.
Eva's mom took her to see a doctor. The doctor told Eva she had a corneal abrasion that would probably heal just fine in a few days.
Most of your eyeball sits in a pocket of bone called the orbital bone. The orbital bone protects the inner part of the eye, but it can't protect the part that faces out. This part is covered by a clear tissue called the cornea.
The cornea helps the eye focus and protects other parts of the eye, like the iris (the colored part) and the pupil (the black part), from getting damaged.
A corneal abrasion happens when something scratches, cuts, or scrapes the cornea. Corneal abrasions can sometimes hurt a little bit, and you should see a doctor or nurse if you get one. But don't worry. They usually heal quickly and don't cause any lasting problems.
In rare cases, corneal abrasions can become infected and lead to a serious condition called a corneal ulcer. That's why it's important to see a doctor to get a corneal abrasion checked out.
Your eye has other defenses besides the orbital bone: The eyelids and eyelashes work to keep particles out of your eyes. When particles get through and land on your cornea, tears help to wash the particles away. Sometimes, though, a foreign object contacts the cornea in such a way that it scratches, cuts, or damages the surface of the cornea.
Just about anything that gets in your eye can damage the cornea. This includes dust, sand, wood shavings, hay, sparks, bugs, pieces of paper, and even your own fingernail. You name it: if it can get in there, it can make a scratch. The cornea also can be damaged by chemical irritants, improper use of contact lenses, bright lights, and reactions to things like contact lens solutions and eye makeup.
Because they affect the way the cornea functions, corneal abrasions cause problems with your vision. Things may appear blurry or you may not be able to see as well as usual. You also might feel a stinging or burning pain in your eye.
Other symptoms can include:
If you have any symptoms of a corneal abrasion, call a doctor. Corneal abrasions aren't usually serious, but they still need to be checked out. The doctor can determine the extent of the abrasion and prescribe eye drops to help the healing process.
The doctor will examine your eye and ask you questions about your symptoms and what caused the abrasion. It's possible you won't know exactly what caused it, but you'll probably know when it happened.
In some cases, the doctor will do a test on the eye: A fluid called fluorescein is placed on the surface of the eye, and then the doctor looks at the eye under a light that is filtered cobalt blue. The fluorescein causes the abrasion to glow bright green under the light.
The doctor also might do a standard ophthalmic exam and a slit lamp examination of the eye. These tests are done to check the eye's vision and functioning.
You'll want to see a doctor as quickly as you can to treat a corneal abrasion. In the meantime, though, take these steps and precautions:
After a doctor has examined your eye, he or she may recommend treatments to help the eye heal more quickly. Doctors also can safely remove any foreign objects stuck in people's eyes.
To treat a corneal abrasion, your doctor may recommend prescription eye drops or an ointment. If your eye hurts, the doctor may suggest pain medications. If you normally wear contact lenses, the doctor may tell you not to wear them for a few days.
If the corneal abrasion doesn't heal within a few days or if any of your symptoms get worse after treatment, let a doctor know right away.
To help prevent a corneal abrasion, make sure to wear protection for your eyes, such as safety goggles or a facemask, whenever you work with tools, handle chemicals, or participate in sports where your eye could be affected. This includes sports like racquetball, skiing, snowboarding, hockey, and lacrosse.
If you go outside on a sunny day, wear sunglasses designed to block out ultraviolet rays. This is especially important in bright places like beaches and ski slopes.
If you have pets, be careful when you're playing with them. Cats, dogs, and other animals can act in unpredictable ways and scratch an eye without meaning to.
If you wear contact lenses, make sure they fit properly and use them as directed. Keep your fingernails neatly trimmed to avoid accidentally scratching your eye when putting in or removing your contacts.
Around the house, be extra careful when you use cleaning products, especially drain openers and oven cleaners. Many cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can burn your eyes. And if you have plants in your yard that you think you might walk into, protect yourself by trimming away any branches located at eye level.
Take a few precautions, and odds are you won't have to worry about scratching your eye. Almost all corneal abrasions are preventable. And if you do scratch your eye, don't freak out. It'll most likely be fine in a couple of days.

Ryan Seacrest will host Olympics in primetime
Hosting the Olympics is one of the most prestigious gigs in sports. Legends like Jim McKay, Curt Gowdy, Chris Schenkel, Al Michaels, and Bob Costas have covered the Olympic Games. This year, you can add another top sportscaster to that elite list...
Ryan Seacrest.
What the hell?
Yes, the American Idol and E! News host announced on this morning's Today Show that he will be joining the NBC mothership (E! is part of the NBC Universal family) and he will be covering the Olympics in primetime.
I hate to prejudge anything, but this is horrifying. As if the primetime coverage of the Olympics hadn't turned into a gloppy, two week human interest story, what in God's name could Ryan Seacrest possibly add to cover one of the world's greatest sporting events? This is the guy who was an executive producer for such influential sports programs as Denise Richards: It's Complicated. Is he going to be hosting a singing competition amongst the United States Olympians? Will he have interviews with celebrities to tell us about the wonderful spirit of the Olympic Games and the world coming together? Is he going to be stalking the Olympic Village just in case the Kardashians show up?
I'm sure it's something NBC feels like they need to do to reach out to a broader audience and all the people that watch the Olympics like it's some soapy two week miniseries event. However, to a sports fan, Seacrest fits the Olympics like Carl Lewis fits sitting next to Randy Jackson on American Idol. How would you feel if you were a sportscaster at NBC, working night and day in sports, and were just passed over for the dude from American Idol. Can you imagine Ryan Seacrest and Bob Costas sitting side by side at the anchor desk?
From the sporting perspective, it just doesn't make sense, but then again that's not what this decision is about. I'm sure Seacrest will do a fine job hosting the Olympics for whatever it is he'll be asked to do - it's not like he's a television rookie as he has hosted the biggest show in America for the last decade. Costas will likely remain the main host and Seacrest may just be asked to add special features, his exact role in the coverage or just how much he'll be doing hasn't been revealed yet. I just hope NBC provides live coverage of the events they will later dress up in primetime so I can avoid it like the plague. (Given the time difference, NBC's primetime coverage will be airing at around 2 AM in London, so there's likely not going to be a lot of live action then.) Give me NBC's excellent daytime and cable coverage where the live sports are actually taking centerstage, and not Pippa bloody Middleton.
(via E!)

The project expanded the surface parking to the west of the existing library, after three residential properties were acquired and demolished. With 36 new parking spaces, there are now a total of 118 parking stalls in both the new and existing parking lots. Other site enhancements include improved pedestrian circulation, landscaping and decorative art panels installed on the retaining wall that borders 175th Street.

A Reserve Yellow Wallaby From Yellow Tail
Yellow Tail makes a reserve wine? This was my thought and the question I heard several times over when I told people I was reviewing Yellow Tail wine. According to the print material, "The fruit used is taken from Australia's premium cool climate regions to maintain elegance, finesse and length of flavor. Great wine begins with the best grapes for [ yellow tail ] Reserve. You can taste the difference." This is what I wanted to determine, could you taste the difference?
Over the last 30 years the Casella family has taken Yellow Tail from small production to over 11 million cases, making them one of the largest wine exporters in the world. In 2001 the little yellow wallaby was introduced to the US in an agreement with W.J. Deutsch. Americans fell in love to the sip of 8.5 million cases making Yellow Tail one of the most recognized wine brands in the US.
At prices between $12-$15 the five Yellow Tail Reserve wines (Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon) are about twice the price of the non-reserve line. I'll admit I had my share of Yellow Tail magnum bottles of Shiraz from Costco. The fruity and slightly disjointed wine used to work as a standby from time to time (especially in my early wine exploration days). Now, however, I've discovered that a step up in price is well worth the drinking experience. I'm pretty curious to see what twice the price gets the consumer.
The reserve packaging is a picture of great branding. The use of a black label and silver foil wallaby convey quality while maintaining a tie to the core brand elements. The bottles seem to be slightly weightier as well. After receiving the wine, my step-son walked in the room and said, "oooh, these must be expensive." He's a pretty astute and observant 13 year old and has a keen eye for design and marketing. After noting the name, he said, "Oh, they're only Yellow Tail." Interesting…
The NectarView:
2008 Yellow Tail Reserve Merlot – The 100% Merlot is from six regions in Australia, mostly King and Alpine Valley. The various fruit spent between 6-12 months in a range of new and used American and French oak barrels. With a soft burgundy rust color in the glass, the wine was fairly translucent. The nose on the wine was fairly woody like water logged wine soaked piece of cedar. Some underpinnings of sour red fruit graced the nose to. In the mouth the wine is soft and slightly unassuming with presentations of sour cherry on the mid palate. Hints of vanilla poke through the light tannin finish. At $12-$15 this is a drinkable wine but in comparison to the Velvet Devil on the Under $10 Team, I'll pass on this one 3-/5.
2008 Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz – The 100% Shiraz is from the Langhorne, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Barossa and Wrattonbully areas in South Eastern Australia. The fruit spent varying amounts of time (6-12 months) in new and used American and French oak. In the glass the wine is similar in tone to the Merlot but with a darker center. Slightly less translucent but could be the same wine to the untrained eye. A traditional aroma profile for what I've experienced in Yellow Tail Shiraz offering off scents of dark fruit and pepper. In the mouth the wine is fairly large and squishy with well balanced play of blackberry, blueberry and pepper spice. The oak components are more subtle and offer more layered flavor to the profile. While still on the simple side, the bold and rich flavor will appeal to a large audience. Having had my fair share of non-reserve Shiraz, at $12-$15 this is definitely a step up in flavor and quality. 3/5
2008 Yellow Tail Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – A multi-regional blend of 100% Cabernet from various sources in South Eastern Australia. As in the other two reserves, this fruit in this wine spent 6-12 months in new and used French and American oak. The Cabernet is thick in the glass with hints of ruby and rust color around the edge of the glass. The aroma profile suggests a well thought out combination of dark fruit, oak and hints of mint. I really enjoyed the nose of this wine. In the mouth the wine is big on fruit and big on oak. The superstar in this wine is the presentation of mint. The finish is average with moderate tannin. In comparison to other $12-15 price point Cabernet Sauvignon, this certainly can stand with them. The subtle differences in like/dislike could be a matter of preference and not quality. 3/5
*NOTE – In the video the graphic rating is mistakenly listed as a 3+/5
In summary, the reserve line of Yellow Tail provided a decent step up in quality and flavor from the regular line. These wines could be a natural next step in people's evolution of expanding their palate without breaking the bank. The brand familiarity certainly helps in moving people up. Each of the wines, in retrospect, seemed to offer a similar mouth feel and flavor component with the subtle difference being the finish. On each bottle there is a two word description of the wine, i.e. "Dark and Spicy" "Bold and Thick," my brief description of the reserve line is, "Better not Stunning." If you see these wines at or around $10, give them a try for a comparison to what you know of the non-reserve line.

Mollydooker Shiraz is a Hedonistic Experience
Are you looking for a wine that will kiss you on the lips, smack you on the ass, and leave you feeling completely satisfied? Mollydooker just might do it. In my 11 months of wine blogging and five years of wine consumption, I have yet to experience anything so over the top and hedonistic as the Mollydooker wines. In fact, it's not even until now that I understand the use of the word hedonistic when describing wine. Even at their lower end price points $25, the wines are full of big and rich fruit with an emphasis on flavor. It'll feel like a flavor orgy in your mouth. Be careful, however, the bold wines come with bold alcohol levels of 15.5% and higher! Too much of this booze and you'll get a smack on the ass from falling on it!
Mollydooker has put together a winning combination of wine, marketing, and consistency since coming on to the scene in 2006. Their web site is fun, quirky and educational, the labels are catchy and carry a personal connection, and the wine has garnered praises including five 99 point scores from Wine Advocate, Top Value Wine (under $20; 2006), and the Carnival of Love has been selected as a Top 10 Wine in the World (2 years running).
Owners and Winemakers Sarah and Sparky Marquis spent 12 years making critically acclaimed wine for others companies before starting Mollydooker in 2005. Based in Australia's premier regions of McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Pathway, Sarah and Sparky claim that it is their Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme and Marquis Fruit Weight focus that sets their wine apart. Two pretty cool, although heavily marketing focused, videos are on their web site at www.mollydookerwines.com.
The watering program manages the growth of the vines and canopy to create a healthy and vigorous crop. At specific times the plants are deprived of water to drive the energy into the grape clusters. A repeating cycle of starvation and watering leads to the high fruit weight the Marquis' are aiming for. Marquis Fruit Weight is a non-scientific measurement of WOW. It is an attempt to quantify the percentage of your palate that's covered by the smooth fruit flavor.
I was pretty skeptical and intrigued by the Fruit Weight concept, so I thought I'd put the three sample wines to the test in a blind tasting format. I had the wife bag and tag the wines after removing the colorful foil identifiers. I knew I was drinking Mollydooker, I knew they were 2009 Shiraz, but I had no clue as to which wine was The Boxer ($25), Blue Eyed Boy ($50), or Carnival of Love ($90). Watch the video for the surprising results.
*So far, this may sound like a sales pitch for Mollydooker, instead of a review. I'm just providing the back story (and theirs is an impressive one). I did review a 2008 vintage of Blue Eyed Boy and didn't give it so glowing of a review.
The NectarView
2009 Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz
- The Stuff: 100% Shiraz from vineyards in McLaren Vale, Langhorne and Pathway. The wine spent 12 months in 57% new 43% year old American oak; 3.6% residual sugar, 16%ABV, screw cap enclosure (as are all Mollydooker wines) – 70% Marquis Fruit Weight
- The Swirl: Thick and inky in the glass with a heavy purple. Wine leaves a film on the glass edge when swirling.
- The Sniff: A Shiraz masquerading as a big Malbec with blueberry and vanilla on the nose. There are subtle hints of sweet residual sugar and cedar too.
- The Sip: Good flavor but not overwhelming. Starts off feeling a little syrupy and then gives way to dark black and blue berry fruit. A stronger pepper finish than I expected and a good amount of acidity to clear away the sweet fruit.
- The Score: At $25 this is a great wine that easily outperforms Aussie Shiraz in the $15-$20 range. The flavor is more intense but not over the top. Great price point. 3+/5
2009 Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz
- The Stuff: 100% Shiraz from the Mollydooker vineyard and Langhorne Creek; aged 12 months in 71% new and 29% used American oak; 3.6% residual sugar, 16%ABV, screw cap enclosure – 80% Marquis Fruit Weight
- The Swirl: Great light refraction around the edges. The wine looks like a pristine calm glassy purple lake. Thick and very weighty
- The Sniff: A very well layered aroma profile that includes perfectly balanced amounts of fruit, licorice, powdered sugar, and deep blackberries. Love the subtle cracked pepper on the finish
- The Sip: A massive wash of soft plum, bright blackberry, and warm milk chocolate. The luscious and round mouth feel is accompanied by a good amount of firm tannin on the finish. This is a young wine that drinks very well now, but is crying out for sausage, cheese, and beef dishes.
- The Score: For those wine drinkers that are accustom to laying down $50 for a good bottle, this is a fantastic wine. There is more here than just a giant fruit bomb. The layers of flavor will ease the pain of parting with the cash. This is a special wine whose taste and aromas are burned into my memory. 4/5
2009 Mollydooker Carnival of Love
- 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

A Trip to NYC for Australian Wines
I don't usually make a habit of travelling 3000 miles to taste wine, but this occasion deserved the trip. I packed my bags and headed east to the city they call the "big apple" to taste wine from Clare Valley, Australia. I mean really, how often does one get to taste Australian Shiraz?
Actually, I lie; we were in New York City (specifically Manhattan) for our annual family vacation. We gave our son the choice of NYC or Washington DC. He chose NYC, which means next year we'll be headed to DC. Timing couldn't be better as we can coordinate the trip with the 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference and visit my family just a few hours south in Roanoke, VA.
Before I get back to the wine, let me just say that Manhattan is a-ma-zing! The energy, the vibe, the fashion, the hustle, the passion, the art! Walking the streets felt as if we were walking in the center of what makes the United States (and even the world) run. The eye wall of Times Square rotates out spinning its massive energy force touching the corners of our globe. Would I want to live there? Nope. I couldn't afford to, but it sure is a fun place to visit.
While on our travels, through the wonders of Twitter, I learned that Cork'd was hosting a wine tasting at the Roger Smith Hotel. In a previous business trip to Manhattan, I had the opportunity to tip a glass with Jon Troutman of Cork'd and Kristen Murphy of Wine Library. Any opportunity to reconnect with these ambassadors of wine immediately shot to the top of my priority list. A quick tangent here – my social media experience has been amazing. Because of the relationships I've established on Twitter and Facebook, every city I travel to results in cheers and toasts with "old friends."
On To The Wine:
When I say Australia, you say?
Okay, when I say Australian wine, you say?
Well, yes, that's quite true. Most people have narrow thoughts when it comes to Australian wine and it is usually the little kangaroo of Yellow Tail, Jacob's Creek or Penfolds. The wine tasting at Cork'd hoped to shed some additional light on a region that exports over 1 billion bottles of wine per year (fourth largest in the world).
After a long day of meandering through the Metropolitan Arts Museum, the family was very accommodating and semi-enthusiastically agreed to accompany me to the Roger Smith Hotel (just off Park Avenue and 47th). The eclectic, warm and urban vibe of the hotel made me re-think my lodging choice at a national chain.
At the tasting I was excited to finally meet Lindsay Ronga, CEO of Corkd.com. We've spoken via phone and twitter, but in person, Lindsay is infinitely more adorable. She's also smart as a whip! Lindsay and Jonathan introduced us to their guest, Tom Barry, a third generation wine maker for Jim Barry wines and explained the tasting "rules of engagement." Immediately the ladies, and some of the men, were smitten with Tom's thick accent. Most of the crowd was armed with laptops, but I committed to my family to leave mine at home, so I attempted to document the journey with a smart phone whose battery was about to go the way of some of the art exhibits we had just discovered.
Due to the nature of the tasting, these are my initial thoughts and observations of Jim Barry wines. This is not the full attention that I typically try to give to one of my reviews, but should give you a general framework of my thoughts.
Jim Barry Wine Tasting
2007 Jim Barry Lodge Hill Riesling
The dry Riesling (under 2% residual sugar) had surprising aromas of toasted nuts, white pepper and that standard petrol aroma of a well aged Riesling. The wine was clean fermented with no malolactic and zero oak. With 13%ABV the wine is slightly off balance with only mild acidity. Great flavors of apple, lemon zest, lime and a tart finish. Quite a surprising wine and at $17-$20, could be a good selling price point in the US. 3+/5 (Recommend)
2008 Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon
This 100% Cabernet is a blend from various Coonawarra fruit. The name, and labeling design is inspired from the 30 acres of Cabernet that grow on former Cricket playing fields. The wine receives 12 months in American oak. In the glass there is a good thick color to the edge of the glass. Aromas of bright cherry, are offset by vegetal components, eucalyptus, and cinnamon. In the mouth the wine is slightly thin on fruit with heavy tobacco mid palate and a sweet zing at the end. A bold chalky tannin begs to be decanted, paired with food, or cellared for 5-7 years. $20. 3/5
2008 Jim Barry The Lodge Shiraz
We ended the evening by looking at two Shiraz; one, a new release, and the other from 2004 that should give an indication of age ability. In the glass, the 08 is thick and leaves a crimson residue on the edges of the glass. The 14.5%ABV is low comparatively speaking for some Aussie Shiraz. Fragrance of blackberry and clove present themselves to me. I love the way the wine feels in the mouth. A lush velvet coats the tongue. The black pepper is perfectly balanced with the sweet fruit. The wine is big without being jammy. $20 and a great buy. 3+/5 (Recommend)
2004 Jim Barry McRae Wood Shiraz
The final wine of the night is dark and inky in the glass; a brooding color similar to moonless foggy night. The nose offers up green berry twigs, sour black cherry and some hints of what I would guess coffee syrup would smell like. In the mouth the wine is big on fruit, but it is slightly sour. The finish offered moderate tannins with well integrated acidity. Many of the tasters were very impressed with the wine but this one left me feeling a little empty; a perfect example of taste variance and subjectivity. At $45 this was the highest priced wine of the night. 3/5

SkinPro has finally released their much anticipated new version of Elite Serum!
This is the number one product I can reccomend right now for ultimate DNA and skin rejuvenation. This is the best anti wrinkle product 0f 2012, hands down.
If you are a man or woman, 18 years of age or older, looking to protect your skin from the visibile signs of aging, Elite Serum is one product you can't afford to ignore. A pioneer in using anti wrinkle powerhouse ingredient Argireline, this among the hottest products on the anti aging market today.
Update: 2/3: I was watching Dr. Oz today and he had this to say about Argireline:
"Crows feet: Argireline- this product works like botox but it's a cream and there are no injections. Look for a 5%-10% concentration and apply 2 Xs per day"
Before Dr. Oz could stop talking, I was screaming to my sister that I use a product with these these components: Elite Serum.
The flagship product from SkinPro has been completely overhauled and redesigned by their team. I went back and forth with their company spokesperson via email and was able to uncover a lot of the details of this new eye serum. The company credits the hard work of their dedicated scientists and research chemists, particularly cosmetic pharmacist Irwin Grams who painstakingly developed this potent formula.
I'm proud to present my updated Elite Serum Review.
This anti wrinkle & skin rejuvenation product is like an injection – without the pain! There is nothing on the anti aging product market like this.
Most notably, I noticed that the new Elite Serum contains no xanthum gum or other filler bonding ingredients. Their catch phrase is 'This is not your mother's department store eye serum.'. Nothing is closer to the truth than that. What I have seen from early testing is that the base is composed entirely from red and green seaweed extract and pure hyaluronic acid. For anybody who knows anything about the cosmetic industry, specifically high-end cosmeceuticals, seaweed extract is what is used to bond all the most expensive serums. I certainly felt the difference from the moment I dispensed and applied the Elite Serum. Simply put, it was silky smooth from the get go and nurtured my skin from the first application.
This is the anti aging breakthrough product of the year!
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Elite Serum is the custom designed applicator syringe. SkinPro mentioned that they engineered this exclusively for use with the new Elite Serum. No more guesswork is involved when dispensing the serum. One of the main complaints with even the best wrinkle creams is that when sold in a jar, the cream can become contaminated by any residue or dirt the hands come in contact with. Elite Serum was previously sold in an airless pump, and although there are very few complaints, the airless pump seemed to make up 99% of them. Faulty airless pumps are a common compliant on the numerous skin care product review websites I read and contribute to.
Lets talk about peptides. The new Elite Serum contains the highest concentration of peptides on the market, bar none. Nothing is even close. I was amazed with how potent this combination really is. Normally, formulas of this strength require a doctor's visit and prescription of some sort. Finally I feel there is a real alternative to botox available, and it's called Elite Serum. It is loaded with Argireline and it's cousin SNAP-8, Haloxyl, Eyeliss, Syn-Coll and just for good measure a hearty helping of Matrixyl-3000, which if you read my blog you know I've covered in many previous reviews. Matrixyl 3000, in my opinion, MUST be in any anti wrinkle cream or serum if you are looking to reduce the appearance of eye wrinkles and crow's feet.
Further notes about Elite Serum…
- For use by anyone 18 or older seeking better overall skin
- Safe for use by pregnant women
- Non-irritant – for all skin types
The tagline: "Defend. Protect. Rejuvenate." – is spot on. This is one of the best anti wrinkle & skin rejuvenation products you can buy, hands down.

Researchers at Louisiana State University have concluded that a low calorie diet can lower your insulin levels, reduce your core body temperature, and reverse signs of aging. However, those same researchers urge people to avoid going overboard when it comes to restricting calories. Consuming less food and using low calorie meal plans can undoubtedly be beneficial to your health. However, you should set realistic and healthy expectations for yourself.
If you regularly eat around 2000 calories a day, switching to a 500 calorie a day meal plan won't be healthy or realistic. On the other hand, switching to a 1500 calorie meal plan wouldn't be detrimental to your health or particularly difficult for you to do, especially if you were armed with the right strategies.
Strategies to Help You Switch to Low Calorie Meal Plans
- Pay Attention to Portions: If you've made the decision to change your diet and adopt healthy low calorie meal plans, you're going to have to change the way you eat and what you eat. First and foremost, you should adjust your food portions. The plates we eat off of are simply too large, and their large size often tricks us into eating more than we should. After all, we've been trained from childhood to clean our plates. Try eating off salad plates instead of dinner plates. Many dieters find this to be a successful strategy.
- Customize: Your low calorie meal plans don't have to be the same as everyone else's, particularly if you aren't trying to adhere to any particular diet like the Paleo Diet or HCG diet. If your primary goal is to reduce your caloric intake, you should plan your meals based on what you like. You may want to make a list of all the low calorie foods you normally enjoy eating and include those in your healthy meal plans. Some low calorie foods you could include in your meal plans, for instance, are apples, grapefruits, legumes, black beans, turkey, spinach, low-fast yogurt, oranges, brown rice, and fish.
- Use Online Tools: Online tools can help you plan out your meals and count the calories you consume. Your goal should be to calculate all the calories you plan to consume each day as a part of your overall meal planning efforts. You should also keep track of how many calories you actually take in versus how many you plan to take in. This can give you an idea of whether or not you need to adjust your eating habits or meal plans to take in fewer actual calories.
- Drink Plenty of Water: Drinking water throughout the day will help curb your appetite. And drinking one or two glasses before each meal has been proven to reduce food intake. When you reduce your caloric intake, hunger is going to be your biggest hurdle. Drinking more water will help you overcome that hurdle. Additionally, choosing to drink water as opposed to sodas and juice will help reduce how many empty calories you take in. If you drink diet soda, it's still a good idea to switch over to water, if possible. Certain additives in diet soda are actually thought to increase your appetite.
- Don't Forget to Snack: Plan to eat two or three snacks a day, and bring those snacks with you to work or wherever you go throughout the day. Some ideal snacks are baby carrots, apple slices, grapes, and whole-wheat pita bread with hummus. If you start to feel hungry before a meal, eat one of the 100 or 150-calorie snacks you've prepared. Eating snacks throughout the day will help prevent overeating at meals and keep your blood sugar levels stable. One of the most difficult parts of conforming to a low calorie diet is practicing portion control. Since snacking throughout the day helps prevent overeating at meals, you should consider snacking a part of your overall portion control efforts.
So, practice portion control, plan out your customized meals, drink enough water, and snack to avoid overeating. Remember that you are in control of your nutrition, and you have the power to succeed at eating a low calorie diet!

How do I combine filters to get results?
- Date added:
- Friday, 26 August 2011
- Last revised:
- Wednesday, 14 December 2011
This feature is useful in many cases and very easy to use.
Just make a right click on the magnifying glass icon which is located on the right of each column's title and select "filter". Then select the type of filter, such as "is equal to", "contains" or "starts with" and input a value.
You can combine filters and the filters set on a table are reset when you leave the window.
Removing a filter is also done with the same right click on the magnifying glass, using the option "Remove filter".
If you want to filter a list of all names to find names starting with "Rob" AND that they all live in Paris, simply RIGHT-click on the magnifying glass icon in the column "name" and select "begins with" then enter "rob". This gives a list of all Rob* found in the database. To combine with another filter click on the magnifying glass icon of the "cities" column and select "is equal to" and enter "paris".
Such filtering functions are powerful and flexible, but may require a little bit of time to complete if performed on large databases.

The event takes place in workplaces across Oregon and is designed to be flexible to meet an employer's safety and health program needs.
Sign up and add your name to our list
Add your business to the list of 2013 Safety Break participants
The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) coordinates this one-day event, designed to raise awareness and promote the value of workplace safety and health in preventing injuries and illnesses. The event takes place in workplaces across Oregon and is designed to be flexible to meet an employer's safety and health program needs.
"Even during tough economic times, many employers recognize the value of a strong culture of workplace health and safety," said Michael Wood, administrator of Oregon OSHA. "It's the right thing to do. And it's the smart thing to do when it comes to the bottom line. Safety Break is a chance for employers to make a public statement about the importance of safety and health."
Ideas for hosting a Safety Break event from participating companies
Tools for Safety Break for Oregon
Participate all year long with Oregon OSHA services and products
Keeping Oregon's workplaces safe is important for a number of reasons. Workers return home safe to their families at the end of the day, workers' compensation and insurance costs are reduced, and productivity improves when workers know they are performing their work in a safe environment. Your community benefits by knowing that you are an employer that values worker safety.
Your commitment to having a safe workplace is communicated to your workers, their families and your community. The positive perceptions created about the value of workplace safety and health can yield many positive outcomes for future employee recruiting, future sales opportunities and new partnerships within an industry or a region.

Who the hell are The Nerves?
I thought I knew all of the great forgotten bands: The Replacements, with their great songs, unpredictable live shows and self-destructive attitude; Big Star, with their perfect tunes at exactly the wrong time; Nick Drake, with his refusal to tour and corresponding failure to sell records, despite their melancholy brilliance. But somehow amongst all of these lost gems I managed to miss The Nerves.
