Neko Case's new album Middle Cyclone, is well titled. A force of nature, it's a commanding collection of songs not only showcasing the beauty and strength of her voice, but it's also an intelligently conceived expression of a bold though suppressed anger of the overlooked feminine psyche. More overtly, the album is a warning not to overlook the force of mother nature herself; in the closing thirty minutes Case deliberately bends our ears toward the night music of the marsh, the crying of crickets and frogs. But more than that, Case alludes to the theme of the feminine being taken for granted, and the resulting cyclone in wait.
Be forewarned, the first half of the record starts with the "tiniest sparks" and the "tenderest sound", a lovely beginning to the showcase, as it were. Once the listener reaches "I'm an Animal", however, the cyclone becomes manifest, a darkening crescendo of turbulence. With all songs are fairly short and predictably impressive, the absolute masterpiece for me is the longer "Prison Girls"; it's a funeral dirge for those women eternally unimpressed, who've "traded more for cigarettes than I've managed to express".
Middle Cyclone is an hugely solid album with incredible accompaniment. The sound is awash with the drums, upright bass, piano, and guitars from eternal alt-country ambassadors Howe Gelb, Calexico, and M. Ward. Case's own band is impeccable as well, not only highlighting her voice but surrounding it with a fullness that nearly suffocating. As usual, the lyrics are as haunting as in any prior Neko Case release, too. Standing equal with Fox Confessor, Middle Cyclone is yet another jewel in Case's crown.

New Research Article on NewEnglandAncestors.org Genetic Genealogy: An Introduction
By Alan SavinFree Access to Non-Members!
Like any science, genealogy should be based on evidence. Whilst over the decades our access to records has improved, basic genealogical standards essentially remain unchanged; our primary sources continue to be in written form while oral tradition is treated with much caution. But with advances in genetic science a window has been opened to a new resource. It has been discovered that parts of our family history are also written in our DNA.
About the author: Alan Savin has been a genealogist since 1986 and initiated the world's first DNA surname study in 1997. In the year 2000 he published the book DNA for Family Historians, which is available through the NEHGS Online Store at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/store/browse/product.asp?sku=3248.
Members and non-members may read the full article at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/education/articles/research/special_topics/genetics/genetics_intro.asp

Ask a Genealogist - Your Research Questions Answered!
Our popular question/answer feature with staff genealogists, "Ask a Librarian," has been renamed "Ask a Genealogist." The email address has changed as well, and questions to staff genealogists can now be sent to email@example.com new selection of questions and answers is now available at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/libraries/research/faq/default.asp. Answers to questions in the Ask a Genealogist feature are available to NEHGS members only.
Please note that questions about specific families and individuals, or requests for look-ups will not be answered in Ask a Genealogist. We encourage you to contact our Research Services department at https://www.newenglandancestors.org/research/services/depth/search.asp for assistance with these types of queries.
Don't forget, NEHGS now offers a separate free service to both members and potential members - The Online Genealogist. David Allen Lambert will personally give prompt answers to your questions on preselected research topics. This month, we invite you to ask him questions about nineteenth-century Massachusetts research at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are the questions for this installment of Ask a Genealogist:
Sandra Wanamaker asks:
My ancestor, Captain John Villet of Newport, Rhode Island, died in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in 1797, according to the Newport Mercury of that year. What agency could I contact in St. Thomas to find out any further information?
Doris Scheetz asks:
Do you have any information on the names of French men who fought in the Revolutionary War? I am trying to join the DAR and my immigrant ancestor and his son were among these men. They fought under George Washington. Can you help?Susan Hurlbut asks:
I have traced one of my lines back to Robert Evans, who married Anne Davis of Freetown, Massachusetts, on January 29, 1723.On a visit to the Old Colony Historical Society archives, I found a list titled "Town Paupers of Freetown" that lists a Robert Evins in the right time period. The list also indicates that he "belonged" to the town of Berkley. Also, the Berkley Town Records state that Robert Evans of Berkley died December 5, 1783, age 95 (Town Pauper). The Register (Vol 20, p. 214, July 1866) states that there was a lawsuit between Freetown and Berkley concerning his support. I would like to determine if the town pauper is "my" Robert Evans.
Can you please explain what the criteria were for becoming a town pauper in late eighteenth-century Massachusetts? Were court records created when a person was named a town pauper? If so, which court would be involved?
Charles Howell asks:
The Great Migration is fascinating material. I enjoy reading the tales and adventures very much. But after all these people arrived, their children began another migration, if not several, as they moved into the forest and lands to the west and northwest of the Massachusetts Atlantic shores.
Alexander Gordon, Peter Pattee, Roger Eastman, and Israel Young's kinfolk all migrated north from either Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire, where, in Grafton County, some of them settled by the end of the eighteenth century. Others are found in Vermont and Maine.
My question is why was it that families of Watertown and Bridgewater, Massachusetts, moved north rather than west in the mid 1700s? What resources discuss this migration to the north and the development of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine by "southern immigrants"?
Shirley asks:
Can you tell me where the court records of Bristol County, Massachusetts, for the late 1700s are located and can the public access them?
NEHGS members can view all the answers at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/libraries/research/faq/default.asp.

In the genealogy section of the Oregon State Archives' website you will find the Oregon Historical Records index that provides access to a variety of records from throughout the state. The records are organized by county or other governmental units, such as the Oregon Health Division, Oregon State Hospital, and the Oregon State Penitentiary. To access a complete list of these entities, click on the "selected list" link on the main genealogy page.
Clicking on the county, agency, or institution name will bring up a list of related databases. Click on the database title link to access a generic description of the database and the type of information that may be found in the records. The Death Registers for the Oregon State Hospital, for instance, include the date of death, patient name, age, nativity, county from which the patient was committed, month and year of commitment, cause of death, grave number, and remarks, which focus on the city and/or county to which the remains were sent
The following is a sampling of the available databases.

My Favorite Ancestor by R.C. Underhill of Westfield, New Jersey
Family lore has it that my great grandfather, Thomas Underhill, left London with his oldest child, Charles Lionel Underhill, age between ten and twelve, in the early 1880s. Thomas's wife, Emily Cawthorn Underhill (a beauty with red hair that fell to her knees), the rest of their family, and Thomas's mistress stayed behind as father and son headed for America. The two entered the U.S. via Mexico and/or Texas.It was in Texas that young Charles contracted yellow fever and was believed to be dying. In due course, Thomas entrusted the boy to the care of some Indians, giving them a goodly sum of money with instructions as to care and burial. He then set out for upstate New York where, he had learned, his mistress had come and found work. Charles, in the meantime, recovered, and once on his feet, set out on what was to become a two-year work and travel odyessy to Syracuse, New York, where he somehow found his father. The boy said he was hungry, and his father gave him money for food. Charles used the money to buy cupcakes which he ate, sitting on a sidewalk, until they turned his stomach.Nothing is known of father's or son's doings between their reunion in 1884 and Thomas's second coming to America in the summer of 1898 except that at some point Thomas returned to London, found himself divorced, and Emily now married to the second of what would be her three husbands - shocking in Victorian England! So it was back to the U.S. where Thomas joined his now married son in Somerville, Massachusetts, and learned the birth of my father was expected momentarily. With the child, space at Charles' was at a premium so Thomas took a "room to let" and moved in the day it had been painted ... only to die that night of lead poisoning, just ten days after my father's arrival on this earth.

We visit Betty in her hip-as-heck west London studio that's right next door to an MOT garage round the back of Shepherd's Bush!
A/W '09 INSPIRATIONS: 'Well, I'm thinking of the Betty Jackson A/W '09 girl as a young Princess Margaret who is fed-up in Mustique,' says Betty. 'The inspiration came from a picture by Edward Steichen. And there's Michelle Obama. Don't we love her? Also, strong shoulders, and the late 1930s... The colours I'm into are things that smell and taste delicious, like truffle and apricot. Also lots of jumpsuits, and a touch of austerity – which is prevalent – it's the Northern in me I think.'
A/W '09 FASHION PHILOSOPHY: 'It's not a Creativity Crunch is it? It's a credit crunch. And we're feeling good. Our S/S '09 collection, which just hit the shops, is doing really well. We're selling simple, elegant pieces. I'm thinking about how to solve, how to do better and inspire. But I do believe that in a recession everybody should have a nice white shirt – I'm majorly into white shirts – especially the one with dolman sleeves, and I'm partial to elegant loose dresses in off-acid shades...'
THE MOOD BOARD: 'When I look at my mood board I see ideas, like the pleated turban, and the square polka effect, but the show is not turning out like this – it's lighter, more fun. I love how we're mixing hard and soft textures. Odd bits of stuff that we love, shape and detail. I can't look at any of this and actually say that is my collection...'
GRAZIA LOVES: The backless jumpsuit and pale coffee-coloured sheepskin bolero. Superluxe!
See you after the show!

CaptionsSearles Lake, California
Searles Lake is known for the abundance of rare elements and evaporate minerals, such as trona, hanksite, and halite formed within its sediments. Evaporites are minerals that are left behind when saltwater evaporates. During the Pleistocene Epoch (beginning approximately 2 million years ago), Searles Lake was one of a chain of lakes fed by streamflow from the Sierra Nevada to the west. Lake levels rose and fell dependant on glacial outwash from the Sierra Nevada as climate shifted. Successive layers of sediment were deposited as lake levels fluctuated, preserving an important record of regional climate change. The lakes gradually dried up completely as climatic conditions became hotter and drier (as today), forming a string of playasenclosed basins with no outlets.
This astronaut photograph depicts the Searles Lake playa (characterized by white surface mineral deposits) bounded by the Argus and Slate Mountains. The width of the playa is approximately 10 kilometers. The center of the image is dominated by mining operations that extract sodium- and potassium-rich minerals (primarily borax and salt) for industrial use. Minerals are primarily found in naturally occurring, subsurface brines, which are pumped to the surface and evaporated to crystallize the minerals. A large evaporation pond (black) is visible in the center of the image. Further processing concentrates the minerals and removes excess water.

This is the third bolt of batting I bought in the last two years! I don't know what I made with so much batting ! Oh, I remember...many quilted bags, and many shadow trapunto quilts...

Have you thought of ironing it between fabric (not with iron right on it), it will flatten it out so you can quilt better. Just a thought....

I have so much sympathy. I am working on two commission quilts. They wanted thick fluffy batting. It is driving me crazy.

Wow that is a lot of batting.

In the 1970's, there was a time where super fluffy quilts were popular. Almost a comforter. It was common to take "two" layers of thick poly batting...but difficult to quilt (by hand back then too).

You still do lovely work, whatever the batting! If you don't use safety pins, have a look at these and watch the video. http://pinmoor.com/ I blogged about them last week and they're great!

i too just bought my first roll of batting last year. Here in Malaysia it cost a bundle for these luxury items but one thing good about my supplier, he also looks at those manufactured in Korea. The quality is quite good and I also enjoy the low price since shipping is greatly reduced.
Happy quilting.

Ah yes, the cost of shipping batting, I'm very familiar with that :o). Be careful if you decide to iron polyester batting, if your iron is too hot it will melt. Your cat seems to like the new batting too, very cute!

wOw!! I know you do a lot of quilting, but that batting makes me realize how prolific you really are!!
Can't wait to see the new projects you create :)

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - A Colorado man accused of sexually assaulting students on the University of Oklahoma campus over a 15-year period has been sentenced to 177 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges.
Robert Howard Bruce pleaded guilty Tuesday to five counts of first-degree rape, 10 counts of first-degree burglary, two counts of sexual battery and one count of forcible sodomy. Prosecutors accused him of attacking people on the OU campus between 1985 and 2006.
Bruce wasn't arrested until last year after his DNA was entered into a national database. He's also been sentenced to 156 years in prison after pleading guilty to nine rape charges in New Mexico.
The Norman Transcript reports that several victims attended Bruce's sentencing but declined to make a statement.

text: My first thought was lamp holder for a place where you would want several lamps and lots of light. But I am not sure there is enough space to separate the lamps. The second was that it looked handy for dripdrying closed umbrellas. But I haven't seen one before and can't even think of an old photo or painting with one in it. There's an OldTools list (nonSCA) that loves to id stuff like this though. They are at OldTools at ruckus.law.cornell.edu http://ruckus.law.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/oldtools And if you like I could also ask on a couple of UK lists where people like to use older items. Some of them have old items or replicas in regular use as part of their everyday life. Sharon gordonse at one.net

Question time on the FM website (plus The Week in Review)
Ask any question about geopolitics, broadly defined. We — and others reading the FM website — will attempt to answer it in the comments. All answers welcomed! This is the penultimate chapter in this series (next week will be the last). It started well, but the questions have tapered off in quantity and quality — and it takes a lot of work.
- Questions received so far
- Quote of the week, advice that America's leaders have taken to heart
- To start the discussion: articles of interest this week
- A graph that will disturb your sleep
(1) Questions received so far
Click on the link to go directly to that thread. Please use the REPLY button when replying to a previous comment, to keep threads together.
- FM expects a lot from individuals, to volunteer, to study, to care, etc. I'm wondering if FM has any indictment on the social institutions– the churches, societies, and clubs?
- Is there any way to convince people, especially libertarians like John Stossel, that manufacturing is necessary for economic competitiveness?
- Will the dollar collapse as the world reserve currency?
- Any thoughts about this article from the Archdruid Report? Does it offer sound advice?
- What is the current best thinking on the purpose and usefulness of the old age rent systems?
- Does Ron Paul believe that people have the right to leave their State? For example, to seek freedom?
- How much does the US spend on defense?
- A comment about libertarianism
- A reader reply to this being the penultimate Question Time post.
- Should the United States return to a protectionist trade policy to reboot manufacturing?
- During the last 20-30 years have the elite in this country exploited our trust in community institutions for their benefit?
(2) Quote of the week, advice that America's leaders have taken to heart
Liberty is precious. So precious that it must be rationed.
— Said by Lenin. Quote from Soviet communism: a new civilisation by Sidney and Beatrice Webb (1937)
(3) To start the discussion: articles of interest
Some recent articles which deserve attention:
- "Expect the Unexpected", The Economist, 7 December 2011 — How the people of 1931 saw the world (unaware of what was happening)
- "The 'No True Libertarianism' fallacy", David Atkins, Hullabaloo, 28 December 2012
- "Construction Spending And The Housing Quagmire", Wolf Richter, The Testosterone Pit, 3 January 2012
- "Hey, Washington: We Don't Have to Overhaul Medicare to Save It", James Kwak, The Atlantic, 20 December 2011 — "Republicans and some Democrats claim that we have to radically change Medicare because we can't afford it. They're wrong on both counts."
- "False Flag", Mark Perry, Foreign Policy, 13 January 2012 — "A series of CIA memos describes how Israeli Mossad agents posed as American spies to recruit members of the terrorist organization Jundallah to fight their covert war against Iran."

FM's geopolitical analysis seems to say that much of our folly is due to the nation grown cold: either not caring about what is important or being insane about things that aren't important or actually detrimental.
FM expects a lot from individuals, to volunteer, to study, to care, etc. I'm wondering if FM has any indictment on the social institutions– the churches, societies, and clubs?

Is there any way to convince people, especially libertarians like John Stossel, that manufacturing is necessary for economic competitiveness?
FM note — From the Wikipedia entry for John Stossel:
John F. Stossel (born 1947) is an American consumer reporter, investigative journalist, author and libertarian columnist. In October 2009 Stossel left his long time home on ABC News to join the Fox Business Channel and Fox News Channel, both owned and operated by News Corp. He hosts a weekly news show entitled Stossel, on Fox Business which debuted December 10, 2009, airing in prime time every Thursday repeating on both Saturdays and Sundays. Stossel also regularly provides signature analysis, appearing on various Fox News shows, including weekly appearances on The O'Reilly Factor, in addition to writing the Fox News Blog, "John Stossel's Take".
21 January 2012 6:31 pm
I used to like Stossel, but not so much since he went to Fox. some of his material is cr*p, obviously intended to satiate his overlords and keep his paycheck coming. Some of it is valid libertarian perspective. He does host Cato/Reason types, who are usually little more than Koch apologists (corporatist fraud).
Stossel is occasionally worth watching ("know thy enemy"), but the current program is usually so scripted and uncreative that it becomes predictable and boring. The overall atmosphere is one of fat cats sitting around collecting large paychecks while the system crumbles. Worse, the paychecks get bigger as a direct result of the acts of those encouraging the rot (which is most of what Fox News is about).
Also see:
(a) "Justin Raimondo on the Beltway 'Libertarian' Attack", Lew Rockwell, 7 April 2010
(b) "News Flash: Slavery Is Bad", Thomas Woods at Lew Rockwell's website, 6 April 2010 — {In full; links omitted}:
Once again I note that I do not start things with the Beltway crowd; I let them be unless they attack me or a friend. Here's Cato's David Boaz going after the heroic Jacob Hornberger on the grounds that Hornberger, like the rest of the libertarian world, has spoken of America as having moved away from a freer past into a less free and more regimented present. That may sound fairly accurate and inoffensive, but doesn't Hornberger know we used to have slavery?
Yes, Boaz actually launched an attack on Jacob Hornberger, a man of genuine principle, to make a point worthy of a third grader. All libertarians speak in the way that the deeply sensitive Boaz suddenly finds so terribly offensive, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the person he singles out for attack happens to head the Future of Freedom Foundation, a rival libertarian organization that just happens to lie outside the donor orbit of Cato and its fellow $ recipients. No significance in that at all.

"India, Iran to settle some oil trade in rupees", Reuters, 20 January 2012 — "India and Iran have agreed to settle some of their $12 billion annual oil trade in rupees, a government source said on Friday, resorting to the restricted currency after more than a year of payment problems in the face of fresh, tougher U.S. sanctions."
Here is some movement on this, but it has to do more with the Iran sanctions, which are collapsing rapidly everywhere east of the EU. The flood gates have opened and Obama can't sanction India and the PRC and maybe even Japan for dealing with Iran without causing major disruption to the world economy. The Iranians can't store wealth in big accounts in the USA, because the USA might steal all the money, so if they are going to sell oil they have to park the profits in other countries.
Another part of the story is the MF Global collapse has established a new worry. Uninsured customer accounts are not sacrosanct. If your broker goes down, you could lose. Many did. It was Libya who had accounts at Goldman Sachs, who turned $1.3B into $13Million. Who wants to play that game? Now, with the new sanctions threat and the chance Washington will go around punishing everyone, well, why take a chance?
Me, I confess that I have no idea what the result of this will be to the US economy. I think the change so far is relatively small. We'll see how it goes, I'm sure.
22 January 2012 8:09 am
I basically agree though I think the future depends on how the USA reacts. If it actually tries to fight the trend there could be disruption. How much does the USA really care about the supposed Iranian nuclear program, and are they willing damage the world economy in order to punish Iran? I suspect for Obama that the Iran war is all for show and his heart isn't really in it, but that's just something I heard from my personal psychic.
If US banks shrunk I think it would be good for the economy. These days a big banking sector is a risk more than an asset. Ireland and Iceland especially got majorly screwed by their overgrown financial sectors. Financial companies have been the recipient of vast bailouts, Would we have been better off putting $150 Billion into education, or giving $150 Billion to AIG? ($150B is maybe like 1/5th of the entire defense budget for a year.)

Re: "The 'No True Libertarianism' fallacy", David Atkins, Hullabaloo, 28 December 2012
Atkins is just another liberal/left polemicist looking for evidence to fit a theory based on partial truths.
Oddly, no one recalls that most of human history existed before the so called "civilizations" and the state apparatuses (and causal memes/paradigms shifts) that this [anti-libertarian] argument is about. Tribal life existed for "cognitively modern" humans for at least 200,000 years, WITH NO SIGNIFICANT STATE APPARATUS FOR >95% OF HUMAN HISTORY. YOU CAN FIND NO ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR LARGE SCALE STATES -OF ANY KIND- BEFORE 8,000 YEARS AGO. ***MOST OF HUMAN EVOLUTION WAS ABSENT LARGE SCALE STATE APPARATUS.***
So, when Atkins and his "Liberal" blog supporters state that there has never been a form of human culture that is absent a large scale state bureaucracy, they are clearly DELUSIONAL. Atkins real problem is that he fails to establish a legitimate model of human consciousness or a coherent theory of social evolution. And the reason is that Atkins is not a "real" Liberal at all, where a real "Liberal" upholds Scientific Rationalism against partisan "tribal" ideology.
What Atkins *is* upholding is the bureaucratic apparatus of State Capitalism, and for that, "LIES" are needed, not Truth. The main lie is that the world is in the death grip of an epic struggle between "good" liberals and "evil" conservatives. In reality most people don't care about that particular polarity, and do not see it fit for good purpose.
But, anyone standing "outside" of the polarity, such as anti-statist anarcho-libertarians, that dare to make their perspective public, have to be scorned and accused of absurd charges on the basis of "bad science". All of these "liberals" that attempt to make the case that libertarians are promoting "local bullies" are simply engaged on "mirror stuff", or Jungian shadow.
Liberals like Atkins and his repulsive blog supporters are the worst sort of "local bullies" AND the worst sort of NON-LOCAL bullies. They simply do not want any competition.
22 January 2012 2:19 am
This is about a fear of having the the liberal establishment's complicity in destroying independent populism revealed.
The reality is that liberals are horrible "local bullies" (thought policing, political correctness). The only thing that is "weird" is that you are complicit in advancing their assertion that libertarians are promoting "local bullying", and not liberals. This is an obvious case of psychological projection, or "shadow" by liberals who are shrieking in horror at Ron Paul's popularity. I can think of no instance in which any of the many "liberal" circles I've been exposed to for 40 years wasn't full of people behaving in similarly appalling ways. The only thing that got close to being an exception was some Green Party people in the early 80s. But, some of their ideas did not seem practical (100% consensus agreement, inability to recognize any valid points by conservatives).
What was good about the Green party people was their honesty about the failings of the liberal establishment, and willingness to explore alternatives. And for that, many were punished by the liberal establishment. The punishment was for the POLITICAL CRIME of non-conformism.
Think about it: the "liberal" establishment is punishing people for wanting to be OPEN MINDED and for attempting to understand history. This is the sad reality that the liberal hysteria over Ron Paul's popularity reveals. Integralists who promote holistic theories are not "chained" to liberalism, and most adopted Integralism because of the glaring problems with liberalism, and the incoherence of conservative alternatives.
Absolutists take partial truths and advance them as full truths.State Capitalism, and its liberal sub-component, rests on a historical foundation of Absolutism (Leonard Liggio, Keith Preston). The only thing that has ever stood in the way of Absolutism is the principle of Liberty. The evolutionary record is available, and evolutionary science (and related fields of consciousness such as linguistics) are expanding what is known about early human society. Why you are obfuscating science is a mystery.
The scientific record shows NO evidence for large scale social organization for the vast majority of human history. Thus, there is a disconnect between the 99% of the formative events in human evolution/consciousness and political ideologies concerned with only recent problems in the organization of large societies.
You dismiss most of human evolution as "stone age", but provide no explanation as to why the science of evolution is irrelevant to an analysis of political ideologies or the problems in social organization they attempt to address. Obviously "stone age" people were not trying to dismantle modern economic systems or oppressive political systems as are libertarians.
Atkins and his vile supporters are liars when they state that there is no example in ALL of human history of a society that functioned without Big Government. Atkins' analysis is what is shallow. He proposes no model of human nature, no theory of social evolution. Atkins can't even manage to provide basic, objective, historically accurate, definitions of "libertarian" or "liberal". Atkins fails to understand, or explain, how modernism came about, or even what the role of Classical Liberalism was in the development of modernism! Atkins seems unable to understand anything outside of liberalism, and may not even know that history existed before liberalism. He and his supporters are the real "wingnuts", their anti-libertarian bigotry is as obvious as is their selective choice of "facts" used to support their theory.

"Tirade": Have you read this article: "How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work", New York Times, 22 January 2012?
I think it alludes to FM's 2nd point. The manufacturing apparatus built in up in China by their State, their companies and our companies simply outclasses anywhere else in the world. Certainly not in terms of quality (but that certainly is getting better), but that China is a hotspot with easy collaboration in the same way Silicon valley works for high tech or La Jolla for BioTech or Hollywood for film.
Personally I think we can excel without trade protection. I think our education system is at fault. Build and focus our strengths and I think we'll continue to do great.

_Jericho Solus is available at:
Kindle (Amazon)
Jericho Solus blog
__"They watch me—the feeling as acute as a sharp, cold blade on my skin. I may have lived an ordinary existence, but I can fight. Though my memory is a beast cowering in the shadows, I know in my core I can fight, as if it's what I'm wired to do.
Her breaths echo in my dark cell. Is she real? She fills my emptiness with heat, and God help the people that harm her. I am the Solus. My name is Jericho, and killing is what I do best."
Jericho's captivity begins a journey to a forgotten past, forgotten comrades, and forgotten love. His remembrance pulls him back through history to reveal an unexpected metamorphosis to his current state. As memories move Jericho back through time, his captors propel him forward into a surreal world, until both timelines combine to uncover who and what Jericho is.

I've referred to it in the past as "the beast." Possessing tannins that need to be tamed through intelligent winemaking, Petite Sirah can truly be a monster of a wine. One of the least-well -known red grape varieties that are commonly grown in California, it does not command legions of rabid followers like those who attended today's ZAP Zinfandel festival, or the loyal drinkers of Cabernet, or even those who swear by Syrah, from which it takes its misleading name. In the right hands, however, Petite Sirah can be a stunning wine -- deep, resonant, and rich.
Petite Sirah has been grown in California for a long time, but apart from some limited success in the 1970s at the hands of Carl Doumani and Stags' Leap Winery, wines made exclusively from this grape variety never really earned the respect or attention of mainstream wine lovers in any significant way.
Yet producers all over the state continue, quietly, to make Petite Sirahs, and many have no trouble selling them at all to an equally quiet, but passionate following of wine lovers.
And occasionally, these producers, not so quietly serve up their wines with roast meats and chocolate for anyone who dares drink on the dark side, if you'll pardon the expression. The next opportunity you have to sample their wares will be Friday, February 19th, when the society of winegrowers and makers known as P.S. I Love You holds its annual tasting at The Rock Wall Wine Company in Alameda.
By then you should be:
a) sufficiently recovered from the Zap Zinfandel festival
b) in the mood for something other than Zinfandel
So go check it out. Who knows, perhaps you'll fall in love too. The event web site has a list of the wineries pouring this year as well as a list of the tasty treats that await you in addition to wine.
P.S. I Love You Dark and Delicious Tasting
February 19th, 2010
6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The Rock Wall Wine Company
2301 Monarch Street
Alameda, CA 94501 (map)
Tickets are $60 per person and in the past they have sold out. If available, tickets will be sold at the door for $70. They should be purchased in advance online.
My usual recommendations for such public tastings apply. Wear dark clothes; arrive well slept and with food in your stomach (or chow down when you first get there); drink lots of water; and SPIT if you want to actually learn anything and enjoy yourself. These are big wines, often high in alcohol.
I am so jealous! I wish I lived in the San Fransisco area. At your recommendation I volunteered at Pinot Days in LA and had the time of my life.
Alder, another big thank you for talking about our event... This is our fourth year, and you've graciously supported the effort each time.
If someone from the Bay Area - first to respond - would like a pair of tickets, we're happy to have that person and his/her guest as our guests.
All the person has to o id write "FREE" in your comments, and give a protected Email (Example: joblow @ whereever dot com). I'll Email the person for mailing tickets ASAP.
Again, you're a great resource! Thanks a million.
We'll be drinking on the dark side... I like that!
Hope to see you there Alder!
is this also known as Durif? Makes blood and guts wine in Australia as well.
You mean to tell me all I have to do is write "Free" in this email in order to receive a "free" pair of tickets?
I love this country!
Jo- I have been a big fan of P.S.I.L.Y. for a while. Would love to attend.
Alder- another great article. I knew there was I reason I put you first on my rss list...
Hope to see you there!
chris at the20wines dot com
Chris, Yes, this is the same grape as Durif.
Christoper, I just sent you an Email. Tickets will go out today. Congratulations.
I wish Elyse/Jacob Franklin was attending the event. THeir PS is my absolute fave. No Vincent Arroyo either>? too bad. Jo D, have they been invited?
Vincent Arroyo is a member of PSILY, so the winery gets all of our communications. They've poured in the past, but haven't chosen to pour this year. (Too bad, as you've noted... Vince's PS really rocks!)
Elyse isn't a member, so the winery's not in the loop of internal communications.
That said, we've picked up Charter Oak, Jazz Cellars, R&B Cellars, Grizzly Republic, and Vezer, who are all pouring for the first time. They picked up on the publicity, and have decided to be part of this amazing, gourmet (food and wine) event.
Many are called, are few have chosen... is how I think of collective marketing. It would be great if the 688 producers of PS in the US were members. We'd have a lot more marketing dollars to raise PS awareness for everyone's PS, but that's only a dream. And, in this economy, it's even tougher to support anything outside of one's own world.
For perspective... 688 producers of PS, with 74 members.

Opposition to the importation of Polish hams has been defended on the grounds that it is immoral to trade with thieves or receivers of stolen merchandise — a description that eminently fits the Polish government. It also fits the US government. FULL ARTICLE by Walter Block

"Opposition to the importation of Polish hams has been defended on the grounds that it is immoral to trade with thieves or receivers of stolen merchandise — a description that eminently fits the Polish government."
unless polish hams are somehow special….i doubt that this is any issue to the us – where hams are in abundance.
i am not sure what they mean about immoral to trade with thieves or receivers or stolen merchandise. the entire polish nation?
i expect the histories of some posters here would reveal liars an and they still post. thefts here and there. how immoral.
even a senator from my state was a drunk driver ( i believe on more than one occasion – a d.o.t. computer center employee showed me his driving record) and kept a fat senate pension and health care – while endangering the lives of his constituents and he is still dealt with – or was. no impeachment? was a blow job necessary?
if someone just put stolen goods on someone elses property…what do you do?
this is a pathetic article. block should ashamed for being so dishonest.

Consistency – especially on economic matters – is not a hallmark of the political class, nor will it be until they can discipline themselves to think, instead of merely believe (i.e: "feeeeeel").
- January 23, 2010 at 4:21 am
This article appears to have been written in 1972, which explains the fixation on a communist Poland.
However, as KelThuz has already stated, present-day Poland is much more laissez-faire than the USA; they're busy privatising all former state services, drastically reducing redtape and reviving the pre-communist tradition of entrepreneurship, for starters (my Polish relatives certainly say as much).
I believe the article is trying to explain the rationale of not trading with 'evil/communist/dictatorship' nations, but, it would have been better served with a present-day piece instead.

"The way to bring the blessings of laissez-faire to the Polish people is first to secure it for ourselves. " I guess Walter Block was wrong on that one. All we needed to do was let the whole economy collapse, and we become more statist.

Dresden firebombing was just as bad, if not worse than Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
Nukes aren't magic. Lots of people have been killed by regular bombs.
In fact its alot more pleasant to be in the immediate blast radius of a nuclear bomb, than to have an incendiary bomb land on your house and burn you to death.

I had not heard that before, that "the government" (and that would imply the commanders) had offered surrender. I think that some diplomats had put out feelers. If I were Dr. Block (although most of these quotes I'm sure were were unknown at that time) I would have instead used these to make my point:
- February 16, 2010 at 1:22 am
Interesting reference you gave. Thank you.
I read it all.
I saw many "I think", "I felt", may haves, etc. but no definite reference to an offer by Japan to the USA to surrender.
Offers to the USSR and Switzerland seem vague to me; and, if truly made, how was that information forwarded to the USA.
The last statement about TWO bombs being dropped for experimental purposes (or whatever it exactly stated), I do NOT accept, as I believe Japan had rejected the proof of the ferocity of the first 'secret bomb'.
What might the USSR had done after WWII, if the USA had not dropped the bombs? As it was the Soviets took over much of the world with considerable suffering for millions of people even with the demonstration of the bomb by the USA.
Where might the conflict over the closing of WEST Berlin have led, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc.

Yes, I don't know how anyone can say that Japan had definitely offered surrender. Maybe someone else has something on it.
Yes, it was terrible of FDR and Churchill to set Stalin up like that.
