Observant Wino to Wine Know readers may have noticed that last week there was no Divine Wine Sunday post… and that this post did not get quite make it for a "Sunday" posting. My apologies for the inconsistency… But I hope you all will forgive me as I was on a short hiatus from consuming wine (or any alcohol) to begin 2012 with a clean start…. that and get over a lovely winter cold. After my two week hiatus, however, I pulled out one of my "special" bottles of wine from my (fairly) recent Paso Robles roadtrip a few months back. And today, on Divine Wine Sunday (err… Monday?), I am highlighting that delightful wine.
First, as you can imagine, I was pretty excited to enjoy a nice glass of wine after a couple weeks without. So when a good friend and fellow Wino invited me over for dinner, I thought, "Perfect! It is special wine time!" As some of you may know from previous posts, I spent a few days in Paso Robles visiting a number of vineyards and tasting lots of great red wine. I brought home about a case of wine and had yet to break any open… Until this Pinot accompanied a delightful dinner…
Dive Wine of the Week: Carmody McKnight Pinot Noir, Carmody McKnight Winery, Paso Robles, CA
Price Range: $34.00 from the winery, I have not seen it available in stores yet, but am on the look out.
Wino Assessment: This is no typical Pinot Noir. I find that Pinots tend to be on the lighter side of red wines – very easy to drink with or without food. But the Carmody McKnight Pinot Noir is a bit earthy but with a velvety finish. It maintains the fruit flavors (maybe a bit of a jammy flavor) but is far less fruity than I expect a Pinot to be. From the first sip, I was immediately reminded why I enjoyed it so much (and therefore, took a bottle home).
The Grape: "Pinot" in French is "pine" and "noir" is "black". Pinot Noir grapes are black grapes that are clustered tightly together in a way that is similar to a pine cone. While it is grown around the world, it is most commonly associated with the Burgundy region of France. (So next time you have a recipe calling for a Burgundy type wine, you could probably pick up a bottle of Pinot Noir if it is more convenient!) The Pinot Noir grape has lots of clones – nearly twice as many as the more popular Cabernet Sauvignon grape in France. This is due to the fact that Pinot Noir grapes are prone to mutations, and after many many years of cultivating these grapes, the best of the best are cloned and planted in vineyards around the world.
The Wine: Pinot Noir is a very popular wine – it is grown all around the world, making it very accessible. It tends to be a light to medium bodied wine with cherry and raspberry flavors and aromas. That said, Pinots tend to have a wide range of flavors, textures, and bouquets (all things discussed last week on Thoroughly Wino Thursdays: Let's Talk About Taste!) Because of this wide array of flavors, aromas, textures, etc., Pinot Noir wines can often be difficult to identify. So a few people commented on the "animal" category of flavors and aromas in last week's post. I'm here to pass along a little news for you… you may think you're all that drinking your bottle of Burgundy and feeling very sophisticated. But according to my favorite resource, The Oxford Companion to Wine, traditional Burgundy (region of France most commonly associated with Pinot Noir), is famous for its "farmyard' aromas. Yes. It is true. I think I'm going to have to go out and find a "traditional" bottle of Burgundy to blog about the farmyardiness flavors.
A couple of other fun facts about Pinot Noir as a wine. It is typically lighter in color compared to other reds which has to do with the coloring matter of the grape skin. It is also used in producing sparkling wine, including Champagne, as well as Rose wines.
So, what does Carmody McKnight say about their Pinot Noir? Well, I don't know! Their website is operational, but the page that shows info on their specific wines is not working at present. (Quite a shame for a winery's website, eh!?!) I did find this description for their 2006 bottle (I believe I had their 2007) on a different website:
"Earthy with red and dark fruit aromas, good balance and nice finish."
I fully agree!! The wine did have a great balance (which I think I better double check to ensure it means what I think it means… but in this case, I presume it means that from the beginning of the sip to the end of the sip, it holds its flavor in an even way).
!!UPDATE!! (February 3, 2012): The winery's website is operational again, and I have pulled their description of this fine Pinot Noir.
"The most romantic of wines, our estate Pinot Noir is surprisingly opulent, yet elegant and velvety textured, with strawberry and berry-earthy savoriness in its overture. Blackberry and spicy plum vie for attention with black cherry and currant flavors, finishing in a final act of subtle tannins, a trace of toasty oak, and a silkiness that glides seductively over the palate."
Regions: As previously stated, Pinot Noir is grown all around the world – particularly in many regions of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and North America. Carmody McKnight is located in the Paso Robles area (about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles), and Pinot Noir is grown heavily there. The Willamette Valley in Oregon is known for its Pinots… and perhaps you'll find it interesting that Oregon is approximately the same latitude as that of Burgundy in France.
With that, I'll leave you with a Pinot Noir fun fact and a couple of quotes that I enjoyed coming across in my "research"….
Pinot Noir Fun Fact: Around 2004-2006, Pinot Noirs became extremely popular, and many believe it has to do with the movie Sideways. (A movie that I enjoyed for the wine factor, but the plot kinda weirded me out.)
Pinot Noir Quotes:
"[Pinot noir is] the most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, so sweet an edge, and so powerful a punch that, like falling in love, they make the blood run hot and the soul wax embarrassingly poetic." -Joel Fleischman, Vanity Fair
"[Pinot Noir is] sex in a glass." -Sommelier Madeline Triffon
I'm guessing that if the content of this post didn't make you want to run out and buy a bottle of Pinot right now, that these quotes might. And if you find yourself facing a bottle of Carmody McKnight's Pinot Noir, then get it and let me know what you think!!

Notes ban PMLA case: ED arrests private bank manager in Delhi
"The manager has been arrested under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and will be produced before the court for further custody," ED said.
11:54 am
ED has arrested a manager of a Kotak Bank branch here in connection with its money laundering probe in a criminal case of detection of nine alleged fake accounts with deposits worth Rs 34 crore post demonetisation.
Officials said the agency arrested the manager of the bank's branch in the K G Marg area here, late last night after questioning.
"The manager has been arrested under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and will be produced before the court for further custody," they said.
The Enforcement Directorate took on the case and registered an FIR under PMLA laws after taking cognisance of Delhi Polices' crime branch FIR in the said case.
Police had also arrested two persons last week for allegedly depositing black money worth Rs 34 crore in nine fake accounts being operated in the Naya Bazar branch of the said bank here.
In this regards, Rohit Rao a spokesperson of Kotak Maindra Bank said, "With reference to the ongoing investigation of the said accounts, Kotak Mahindra Bank had proactively informed Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the Bank has already suspended the services of its employee Ashish Kumar. The Bank has zero tolerance towards employees not adhering to its Code of Conduct, and takes strict measures against them. The Bank confirms that it has a robust system of regularly and proactively filing necessary reports with the FIU for all large transactions."
He added, "The Bank has on record all necessary KYC documents, including PAN card. The Bank on its own, on observing the nature of transactions in these accounts, proactively filed a report with FIU for further investigations well in time. On subsequent investigation by the Income Tax authorities, the Bank, as per their instructions, has deposited the entire amount that was credited with these accounts with the Income Tax department."
Lastly Rao commented, "As can be seen from the Bank's actions, the Bank has fully cooperated and communicated with the relevant authorities, and has demonstrated the highest standards of compliance, and the Bank will continue to do so."

What is a 'family'? It's a fundamental question, and one to which I suspect most people would expect a family lawyer to know the answer. However, I doubt whether many people, lawyers or not, even consider the question. To most a family (as against an 'extended family') consists of a mother, a father and their children. But that, of course, is a very limited view.
The more enlightened of us recognise that the family can take many more forms than that stereotype. It is often said, for example, that the modern family can take other forms, such as the single parent family and the same-sex parent family.
Of course, the 'non-conventional' family is actually nothing new. There have always been families whose arrangements do not comply with conventional norms. In fact, as we will see, there is no complete definition of what is a family.
These questions arose in the case Re B (A Child by her Guardian), heard by Ms Justice Russell in the High Court last month. The case may be familiar to readers of this blog. Sadly, the child in the case, 'B', has been the subject of three years of bitterly contested court proceedings, including before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. The hearing before Ms Justice Russell followed the decision of the Supreme Court that the courts in this country had jurisdiction to deal with the matter.
And what was that matter? It concerned an application by B's non-biological mother for (ultimately) contact with B. The circumstances of the case were that the applicant and B's biological mother had been in a same-sex relationship, between 2004 and 2011. B was born in April 2008, following artificial insemination treatment. Unfortunately, the relationship between the applicant and B's mother broke down, and they separated in December 2011. For the following two years the applicant had contact with B, but in 2014 B's mother took her, quite lawfully, to live in Pakistan. That is when the applicant began proceedings.
I shall not be explaining the judgment here – I suspect others may do that, if they have not done so already by the time this post is published. Instead, what interests me is the way in which the court, and of course the law, has grappled with the issues arising from this and other 'non-conventional' families. After all, whilst some of our lawmakers may reasonably be described as enlightened, most of our existing laws were in reality designed with more conventional family types in mind.
Ms Justice Russell takes up the theme in her judgment, when she considers the law applicable to the case. She says:
"The family courts are familiar with many kinds of families including those that might have once been considered unconventional and take a broad and purposive approach both to families and to family life; there is no precise definition of family life, nor can there be one. Following the decision in Re G (Shared Residence Order: Biological Mother of Donor Egg) [2014] EWCA 336; [2014] 2 FLR 897 which considered the legal framework governing parental responsibility in the expanded boundaries of legal parenthood, including same-sex couples, the only governing principle remains the paramountcy of the child's welfare while particular consideration must be given to the part each adult can play in the child's life. Family life is a matter of fact, one of substance, not form."
"There is no precise definition of family life, nor can there be one." Quite right. The family is what it is to those people who consider they belong to it, irrespective of form. And children, who have no choice of the form that their family takes, are entitled to the full protection of the law, whatever arrangements the adults in that family have chosen. And the expression of that protection is the same as always: that the welfare of the child is the court's paramount consideration.
But the welfare principle alone cannot provide all the answers. After all, the applicant in Re B was not technically a 'parent', the law at the time of B's birth not providing a means by which she could be registered as a parent, and thus obtain parental responsibility (it is for this reason that the removal of B from this country without the applicant's consent was lawful). The applicant sought to overcome this difficulty by arguing that she was B's 'psychological parent'. Ms Justice Russell accepted the argument, saying: "There is no need to dwell on whether or not the applicant was a "psychological parent" for it cannot be disputed that J undertook a parental role when B was a baby and later when she was an infant and young child." She went on:
"As the court has made a [child arrangements order] for contact between B and the applicant the court can make a parental responsibility order in favour of the applicant … In making such an order I have applied the paramountcy principle of B's welfare … and consider that it is in B's best interests to make an order which recognises the significant parental role that the applicant played in B's life. It is a role that B recalls and which formed part of the foundation of her infancy and will have positively affected her sense of identity when she was very small and growing up."
Thus the parental responsibility problem was surmounted.
The other point of interest is that B's guardian was of the view that B required a narrative of the role the applicant played in her early life, and why she is a significant figure. Ms Justice Russell therefore agreed that the court would write a letter to B explaining what the court had decided, and why. A nice touch, ensuring that B knows of those in her family of importance to her, and is not disadvantaged by the 'unusualness' of the applicant's relationship with her, which could have left her unaware of the applicant.
The full report of Re B can be found here.

US panel still against granting visa to Gujarat CM Narendar Modi
Washington, July 14 : In the wake of a fresh invitation to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi from the Gujarati-Americans, to attend a culture conference in New Jersey, a US government advisory body has reportedly urged the State Department not to reverse its earlier decision to deny a tourist visa to Modi for allegedly "abetting human rights violations" during the 2002 Godhra riots.
Chairman of the US' Commission on International Religious Freedom, Felice D Gaer said that still no changes were witnessed in Modi's demeanour that would bring about a change in the US' earlier policy regarding granting visa to him.
"The US' Commission on International Religious Freedom again urges the State Department to announce Modi''s ineligibility for a visa under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). We have not seen changes that would warrant a policy reversal," The News quoted Gaer as saying.
This would be second occasion when the US would deny visa to Modi. Earlier, he was denied the visa in 2005 to attend the same conference for the same reason.
Around 2000 people, most of whom were Muslims, were killed in the Godhra riots, worst ever communal riots in Indian history. The riots spread across the state after some Muslim fundamentalists allegedly burnt alive 59 Hindus on board a train at the Godhra railway station.
Meanwhile, the senior BJP leader has said that he would not apply for visa until he was assured that his application would not be turned down by US authorities. (ANI)

Cluckingham Palace
Our coop has been officially named!!! A big THANK YOU to fellow BYCer The Chicken Lady for suggesting it.
On to the Construction.
Here is our coop in a finished state. First thing I have to say is we are true backyard chicken keepers. We live smack in the middle of town, a nice neighborhood in the 'burbs, with a large lot. So the design of this coop is smallish for a real flock of backyard birds. Plus it's posh enough to keep anyone who sees it to think it "belongs" in an average backyard living space. It also is fairly inconspicuous, which is nice, it looks more like a child's playhouse than a chicken coop. So it could be stealthy enough to be used in areas where you are keeping outlaw chickens. If you like what you see and want to know more about it, and how to build one of your own keep on reading.
I looked at other peoples coop designs and came up with my own. Stephanie gave me the details of how she wanted it to look from the outside, we went to the hardware store and picked out the materials together. Like I say, she is my beautiful muse. It is 8' long 4' wide (not including the nest boxes). The overall height is about 7' at the peak. The roof is at a steep angle to match our house. When I first drew up the plans and priced it out it could have cost about $200 in materials. Although we have about $500 in it since we wanted this to look very nice and like a little cottage and not look out of place in the yard. We also decided to put it on wheels and attach a hitch to it, so it can be pulled with our lawn tractor when needed.
Here is what the coop looked like at the framed up stage, this was done in the garage to make the work easy, and since it is on wheels it can be moved into position when needed.
The nest boxes are exterior and and can be accessed from a hinged lid for easy egg removal and cleaning. Since they are outside the coop, it greatly increases the usable living space inside.
The floor is done with 1/4" hardware cloth. It can be seen in this pic. The birds will be allowed to free range our entire backyard which is about 1/3 of an acre. The thought of the wire floor with the wheels is that the poop can fall down and act as fertilizer, then we can move the coop every few days to a new patch of grass. It will also allow us to easily hose out the coop when needed. The wire floor should not be a problem except for a handful of cold days we have in the winter. For those really cold days (less that 2 weeks total a year) the floor is easily covered or a heat lamp can be added. You can start to see the coop coming together well at this point.
We decided on red cedar siding (which is really 1/4" cedar closet liner). I then used 3/4" styrofoam insulation and a heavy gauge vinyl as an interior "wall". that should facilitate easy cleaning of the walls inside when needed.Both ends of the coop open completely - 2 doors on each end - those are also for easy maintenance and cleaning. On one side there is a feeder built into a door and water on the other. You can kind of see it at the back of his picture.
I had to tow it out of the garage to get the roof started, since at it's crest it would not make it out if the roof was installed inside. For reference the fence is 8' tall and the peak of the roof is about 3-4" under that.
We decided on a pop door that would slide up and down. It was a bit of an after thought that was decided on after the coop was framed. If I was building another the windows would be a little further from it. The windows are the real deal, double paned screened house windows. Another thing I would also have done is used a different roofing material, I have never liked the rolled asphalt shingle, but we used it due to the cost of the coop getting up a little high. In the future I will probably cover it with another type of roofing material. We also plan on adding a couple of flower planters beside the windows on the front to make it even cuter (I know cuter is not proper, but it sounds right here). We are making a wood sign to place under the top vent on the windowed side of the coop - it will say something like "Haustierhühner" (pet chickens) or "Hennehaus" (hen house) - update we have decided to call it Cluckingham Palace . The "vents" are actually floor AC vents from Lowe's, they are adjustable and the white outside is PVC, I covered the inside with screen to help with insects. Stephanie has painted a nice scroll design on the pop door.
There is well over 30' (not including the shelf in front of the nest boxes) of roost space, plenty for our 10 birds (and a few future additions to the flock). None of the roosts are over one another to prevent pooping on each other. Since the floor of the coop is open mesh to facilitate droppings to fall through, no droppings boards are used. You really can't see the top most roosts they are in the tremendous space that would be an attic in a house. I put them up there since the chickens like to roost high. As you can see I put ladders for the chickens, since most likely wings will be clipped. Also no roosts are attached from the bottom leaving the entire floor open. This was done so in winter it will be easy to cover the floor if needed. Covering the floor will be a simple matter, I purchased a 1/2" thick roll out rubber truck bed liner from Tractor Supply Company. The beauty of the bed liner is it is the perfect size to cover the chicken floor (48x96), as well as being easily cleaned. It can also be easily removed, rolled up and stored when not in use. It should also provide enough insulation for the floor for our very mild winters. The truck bed liner cost only $30, not too bad!
Really that is it, it is a generally easy design to construct, and could be modified to be smaller or larger based on individual needs. The ability to move it around the yard is a big plus.
Here are a few more pics of the coop in it's finished state. I have finished the additions of the accessories we had planned. We added flower boxes, a name plaque, the pop door ladder (which hooks on for easy removal when moving the coop). Also above the pop door is an area to hang a seasonal decoration, right now since Halloween stuff is out in full force at the stores, a trick or treat sign is hanging there. We also finished painting the trim, stained and sealed the siding, and added some decorative painting designs on the front of the flower boxes.

From Jim Gilliam's blog archivesRepublicans for Dean
July 3, 2003 3:37 AM
Ahhh, Republicans. They're arrogant, obnoxious, clueless, and boy do they like Howard Dean.
RealClear Politics in Helping the Dems Commit Suicide:
It's not the Democrats that are ga-ga for Dean. It's the Independents. The evidence is in the New Hampshire polling data. Amongst Independents, Dean leads Kerry 26% to 15%, but among Democrats, Kerry leads Dean 31% to 16%. Democrats are getting behind Dean, but it's because he's resonating with those ticked off at the party for not standing up to Bush.
6 months before the first primary, Dean is tapping a base of support that transcends party boundaries. Even Republicans are coming to Dean events, and switching to Democrats so they can vote for him in the primary. Maybe it's all part of this grand Republican scheme, but I doubt it.
I saw that look in their eye.
Which means the hardest part for Dean will be winning the nomination - the general election is easy. So let's see that Republican money. Hell, just give us your tax cut. We're giving ours, but it's not all that much. I hear you got a lot more. Remember, there is a $2,000 cap.
To quote our President: "Bring them on!"

Helpful Hints
When installing any extruded seal (a seal that has a glued or vulcanized seam) it is highly recommended to put the seam at the bottom center of the window. If the seam is installed in a corner the seam can split because of the seal expanding and contracting with temperature changes. If the seal canât be installed at the bottom center, make sure to put it on a straight edge of the window. Failure to do so will void the warranty on the seal.

Gehyra marginata - Moluccan/Halmahera Gecko
Halmaheras are often mislabeled as "Vorax geckos" or "Gehyra vorax," but the latter are extremely rare and there is only one confirmed pair in the US. Gehyra marginata, on the other hand, are a lot more common but are not anywhere near as common or easy to obtain as leopard geckos or crested geckos. Halmahera geckos are from the hot and humid tropics of Southeast Asia, and have extremely soft skin and are not recommended for handling.
It should be noted these geckos are not for everyone, especially not for children. They are lightning fast, escape artists, have delicate skin, will bite when frightened or cornered, and are best left as a "look-only" pet. Captive bred halmaheras can be worked with from a young age to overcome some of their fear of you, but they will always choose the "flight" response when uncertain - and they are good at it! If none of these qualities bother you, then please read on.
Halmahera geckos need:
20-30 gallons of space per animal as an adult, preferably more vertical space than horizontal. A sliding-lid 20 gallon long tank set on its side works well for a single adult. Make sure the lid is secured, and make sure to keep a lock on the tank so pets, children, and curious visitors cannot get into the tank and harm either the gecko or themselves. Halmahera geckos do not need a companion or "friend" and are happiest in their own territories. A male-female pair may be kept together, and ideally have 40 gallons of vertical space to live in.
Paper towels for substrate. Paper towels are easy to monitor poop, and cheap and easy to replace when soiled. I highly recommend starting with paper towels to begin a proper quarantine. Coconut coir/eco earth, peat moss, and sphagnum moss all carry risk of impaction but are nontoxic and thus "safe" to use for substrate, and can help keep up humidity in a planted vivarium. However, walnut, bark, and sand should be avoided as they are deadly and are a definite no-no.
Places to hide. Lots of fake silk plants attached with suction cups offer great hiding places, which you can find both at your local craft store in the floral department - just avoid fake flowers as they can come apart and the pieces accidentally ingested. Paper towel rolls or PVC pipes also offer places where Halmahera geckos feel safe as they sleep during the daytime. Cork bark is also an excellent and highly recommended décor for these geckos, as they are meant to blend in to bark in the wild, and cork bark is a safe substance that they delight in climbing about on.
Water. A light misting in the morning, and a heavy misting at night are crucial ways to give your gecko access to drinkable water as well as keep the humidity up. A spray bottle full of clean, de-chlorinated or filtered tap water is excellent. I also recommend offering your gecko a small water dish at all times, but remember to change the water every day or every other day to prevent bacterial growth. Halmaheras will occasionally defecate in their water, so make sure to check often!
Pangea Fruit Mix Complete or Crested Gecko Diet(CGD) by T-Rex/Repashy Superfoods or Gecko Meal Replacement Powder(MRP) by Repashy. These are prepared powder meals with everything they need, including all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and calcium they need. Just mix a little bit with water until you have a smoothie-like consistency, and offer in a large bottle cap or small ceramic dish every other day. It's that simple, and it smells good to us humans, too!
It should be noted that halmaheras should NOT be offered fruit "baby food," as it consists of mostly sugar and is not nutritionally complete. Geckos fed on fruit baby food become addicted to it, and will develop Metabolic Bone Disease, sometimes to a debilitating degree. Even with supplemented calcium and vitamins, it still does not contain everything a Halmahera gecko needs to be healthy. Pangea Fruit Mix Complete and Crested Gecko Diet are much cheaper in the long run and by far the superior diet, which will help your gecko stay healthy and happy!
Insects. Halmaheras should be offered insects once or twice a week. Good feeder insects for these geckos include: dubia roaches, crickets, meal worms, super worms(as adults), phoenix worms, calci-worms, silk worms, goliath horn worms, rusty red turkistan roaches. Wax worms are too fatty for these geckos, and they also should not be offered pinky mice or rats for the same reason.
Proper temperatures. Gehyra marginata are hardy creatures, but they require proper temperatures to remain at optimal health. They should be kept between 75-80*F in summer, and 70-75* Fahreinheit in winter. Halmaheras should have a hot spot of about 80*F degrees to bask in. They should not be kept much above 85*F or so, since higher temperatures will stress them. Also, beware that in the winter time, the air is much drier so a Halmahera should be misted 2-3 times a day to keep up humidity in order to prevent dehydration.
Once you have the above requirements met, you are ready to start looking for your new halmahera! It is always best to obtain an established captive bred animal, which handles changes in environment and people-related stress much more easily. A wild animal is not accustomed to humans and will live its life wary and afraid.
Halmaheras are wonderful animals, and they seem almost unreal with their huge grapple-hook claws and big beautiful green eyes. They have wrinkles upon wrinkles, which help them blend in to bark and branches by eliminating their gecko-shaped outline. They are pudgy and waddle when relaxed, and are like grease-lightning when scared and bolt. They love climbing and walking while using their "sticky" toe pads to scale most surfaces, and they excel at jumping from point A to point B.
With proper care, Gehyra marginata are all but bullet-proof, and though their lifespans are currently unknown, they have been known to reach 15+ years of age, and can probably reach closer to 20 years of age. Remember, when you purchase a gecko, you are committed to taking care of it for the rest of its life, and this unusual and lovely species deserves a secure and loving home.

I know that it's been fall for a good amount of time but I feel like we've just started to feel those effects on my part of town. The leaves are finally starting to change colors and most days you can feel a chilly breeze that makes you break out the warm jackets and cozy sweaters. But my ultimate bucket wish list? Apple picking. From day one, I've told Łukasz that I've been on the east coast for such a long time and I've yet to experience a real east coast fall: you know, going to see the leaves change, pumpkin patching, apple picking, all the good stuff. Maybe finish the night with a big old mug of apple cider or mulled wine. Now that Petra's 17 months, there's nothing she loves more than having the space to explore without worrying about where she could be going. This was obviously a no-brainer of a weekend.
When at the apple orchards, eat lots of apple cider donuts! Petra gobbled these up. We went to Barton Orchards in Poughkeepsie, NY which is about two hours away from NYC. It was an amazing scenic drive. Honestly those changing leaves is what made me fall in love with the east coast and what makes me hesitate when we even think about leaving.
Petra fell in love with this wagon. She immediately wanted to help and pull our cargo but of course she instantly regretted it. It's not light! I think she ended up enjoying the ride more so she could sit and eat apples and donuts. Łukasz and I would hand her apples and she would put them in our half bushel bag. So helpful!
And of course, sneak bites. It was a day full of apple snacking which I'm definitely not mad about. Healthy snacking is a plus.
On our way back we stopped by the petting zoo and Petra pet all the donkeys. They're so sweet! Like big puppies, they just wanted to be scratched behind the ears.
I definitely recommend these Orchards. We happened to visit on a Monday so the grounds were rather empty and the cool attractions and restaurants were closed but I'm ok with it if we are able to avoid these crowds! The Orchards full up on the weekends, people get there at 9am. Aside from Orchards they grow their own veggies and fruits and they even have a tap room on site for some refreshing adult beverages. I literally can't wait to come back here with Petra and Łukasz next year!

Gary Windo Biography
Gary Windo was one of those people who never achieved the full recognition due to him. At least, not while he was alive. A highly original musician with an instantly recognizable style, Windo was involved in the seventies with various musicians of the Canterbury scene. Most notable was his work with Robert Wyatt on the albums Rock Bottom (1974) and Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard (1975), and with Hugh Hopper on 1984 (1973) and Hoppertunity Box (1976).
Windo was born in 1941 into a musical family in Brighton and began playing music at an early age. He learned to play drums at 6, guitar at 12 and saxophone at 17. After sailing the world in the Merchant Navy, he settled in New York in 1962, studying tenor sax and music theory with Wayne Marsh and Lennie Tristano. A long period of apprenticeship, both on- and off-stage, followed during the sixties, until he moved back to England in 1969.
In March 1970 he took part in the all-star jam session at Graham Bond's Sun Festival at The Roundhouse, with Jack Bruce, Mitch Mitchell, and Brian Auger. Later that year he was invited to join Keith Tippett's 50-piece orchestra, Centipede, and then Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath. In 1971 he and Robert Wyatt formed Symbiosis, a prog-rock jamming band featuring Mongezi Feza, Nick Evans and Roy Babbington.
After playing pub gigs with guitarist Ray Russell's heavy-rock trio The Running Man, Windo recruited Russell for his own Gary Windo Quartet, which also featured Mongezi Feza on trumpet and Alan Rushton on drums. In 1973, he and Robert Wyatt formed the jazz quartet WMWM with pianist Dave MacRae and bassist Ron Matthewson. Windo was about to become a member of Wyatt's new Matching Mole group when Wyatt had his accident and the project was shelved. However, Windo appeared on Wyatt's subsequent albums, Rock Bottom and Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard.
Meanwhile, Windo continued to tour with the Brotherhood of Breath and the occasional Centipede performance. He also formed Gary Windo & Friends, with his wife Pam Windo on piano, guitarist Richard Brunton, and the rhythm section of Bill MacCormick, Nick Mason, and Laurie Allan. This line-up was for a one-off gig at Maidstone College of Art in November 1975, but was the precursor to Windo's Steam Radio Tapes project, recorded between 1976 and 1978 in Pink Floyd's studio Britannia Row, but never released. Among the participants, along with the aforementioned, were Julie Tippetts, Robert Wyatt, Mike Hugg, Steve Hillage and Hugh Hopper.
In May 1976, Windo played on Hopper's album Hoppertunity Box, and joined him in Carla Bley's band, in time for the European Tour 1977, and the album that followed. In 1979, the Windos emigrated to America, where he continued playing with Carla Bley, notably on Musique Mécanique, as well as various related projects - Michael Mantler's More Movies, Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports. He also recorded the album Loaded Vinyl in Carla Bley's studio, with Pam Windo and CBB members Steve Swallow and D. Sharpe, but again it remained unreleased. He also appeared on Daevid Allen's New York Gong album, About Time.

As bullets flew above their heads, the young soldier at Pat Tillman's side started praying.
"I thought I was praying to myself, but I guess he heard me," Sergeant Bryan O'Neal recalled in an interview on Saturday. "He said something like, `Hey, O'Neal, why are you praying? God can't help us now.'"
Tillman's intent, O'Neal said, was to "more or less put my mind straight about what was going on at the moment."
"He said, `I've got an idea to help get us out of this,'" said O'Neal, who was an 18-year-old Army Ranger in Tillman's unit when the former NFL professional football player was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in April 2004.
O'Neal said Tillman, a corporal, threw a smoke grenade to identify themselves to fellow soldiers who were firing at them. Tillman was waving his arms shouting "Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat [expletive] Tillman, damn it!" again and again when he was killed, O'Neal said.
A chaplain who debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman's death later described this exchange to investigators conducting a criminal probe of the incident. But O'Neal strongly disputes portions of the chaplain's testimony, outlined in some 2,300 pages of transcripts released this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The chaplain told investigators that O'Neal said Tillman was harsh in his last moments, snapping, "Would you shut your [expletive] mouth? God's not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ..."
"He never would have called me `sniveling,'" O'Neal said. "I don't remember ever speaking to this chaplain, and I find this characterization of Pat really upsetting. He never once degraded me. He's the only person I ever worked for who didn't degrade anyone. He wasn't that sort of person."
Soldiers and commanders who worked with Tillman have repeatedly testified that he was well-liked, respected and admired.
Tillman gave up a multimillion-dollar football contract to enlist with his brother in the Army after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The military initially told the public and the Tillman family that he had been killed by enemy fire. It was only weeks later, when the truth was about to be published, that the Pentagon acknowledged he was gunned down by fellow Rangers.

Use Your Mobile As Webcam With DroidCam Android
Reveal Your Gadget To An Extra-Ordinary Device !
If your PC is not integrated camera and microphone, replaced these peripherals with your mobile phone with the help of a WiFi connection or via USB. Sure that you had the need to use programs like Skype to talk with people who were far more than once, but you didn't hand a web camera or a microphone. It is also possible that you've wanted to record a family event at home and you could not count at that time with a video camera. Thus ended this type of frustration, because a simple app like DroidCam, which you can download from Google Play, will help you to solve these small inconveniences and will make things easier for you. Using Wi-Fi or USB if you prefer, it will connect your Android mobile with your PC and save the use of webcams, microphones and video cameras.
In this article, we will you show how to install it on the PC, both the mobile terminal to use with Skype and record video\audio on the hard drive of your computer.
Download DroidCam
To begin, let's get with the program. In this case, the software has two versions: one in the form of application for our Android and another program to use for the PC. Those who you may be familiar with downloading apps for mobile devices you know should go to Play Store, make the search for the application, download it and install it. You will find two versions, one payment and one free. Both work perfectly, with the difference that the payment offers some advantages, such as the capture format or a higher quality video and audio. In any case, for times of trouble, the free is more than enough. To download the program to your PC, it landed to the page of the creator, in this case, www.dev47apps.coml. Choose the operating system, Windows, or Linux 2, then click on DroidCam v3.6. Once downloaded and unzipped, we'll double click on the installation file, and when asked if you want to install the audio files, we will accept. Thus, we finished with the installation.
Your configuration
To configure the program and make it work, we need first of all open the application in your mobile phone. If everything is correct, it will show us a home screen. Then, we spend to start DroidCam on the computer. Although the program is in English, the configuration is very simple. Click on the option Connect to Phone (WiFi\LAN) and we will see, despite the fact that the port is default, calling us the IP address of the phone. Now is when we must go to the terminal and copy the IP provided by the application. Once done, if we click on Connect, the basic configuration is complete. DroidCam provides us with, in addition, other possibilities. Input, offers the opportunity to make that connection between the two teams is through USB or even create server Bluetooth or WiFi from your PC. At the same time, we will make that mobile phone not send audio or video signal or to send both at the same time. If we click on the three dots and select camera Show output, will view the image that you are taking the mobile camera. Click on Stop, the Android terminal immediately start the camera.
Integrate it into Skype
Once we have configured and implemented DroidCam, comes to implement the application. In this case, we use Skype to explain how to use our Android mobile as webcam. To do this, and before the start, a Council: if not a Skype user and you want to download it, watch out for pages offering download. Go to the official website (www.skype.com) If you do not want to find unpleasant surprises. When you have made you with the application and have it operational on your PC, click on tools in the top menu, and select options. In the sidebar of options, click on sound settings. Within audio input, you can choose our DroidCam Audio with Realtek HD sound card. Obviously, we select DroidCam. As the audio output, we can keep the PC speakers or the phone to listen to our interlocutor, according to our preferences. For the video configuration, Skype will adopt DroidCam as default camera provided we do not have any other software for web-cam installed. We only need connect the phone and PC as we've seen before, and start a conversation.
Recording videos with VLC
As any web camera, your mobile phone can be used to record home videos. However, DroidCam gives us a significant advantage over static webcams and microphones wired. And it is that you can record images and audio on the PC in our WiFi range, giving us a very interesting mobility. That Yes, it should be noted that our connection speed limits, at the same time, recording quality, so this option, if you want a high quality video, is restricted.
To explain the way in which this feature of DroidCam works, we're going to make use of the video player VLC, which is free. Once installed and opened, we are going to the top menu, click on media and select open dump network. In the new window, click on the capture device. Configuration is simple, because we only select both video device name and device name of audio options that enable DroidCam. If we click on advanced options, will be shown in a new window where you can change the capture format (4:3, 16:9…) c or the number of frames per second of video. Just activate DroidCam on the PC and mobile and click on play and begin recording.
Alternatives to DroidCam
One of the main virtues of Android handsets is the large number of applications that can be found to perform same function. The treated area is no exception. DroidCam we chose simplicity with which it is configured and the ease of use, that lay it within the reach of anyone. However, the more adventurous can try other alternatives and see what meets best your expectations. One of the most used is IP Webcam. It's an app that offers the same services as DroidCam. It is also free, but the difficulty of configuration is slightly greater, since you don't have software for the PC and is used by the web browser. EpocCam is another interesting alternative. It has two versions. With the free, we can record and communicate as in the two previous options, but that show annoying watermark on the video, and the payment, costing 5 euros. Some users complain of the difficulty to connect it via USB as well as incompatibilities with their terminals.
Rating: 8
Features: DroidCam allows us to integrate our Android mobile with the PC, providing us with the opportunity to interact in conversation via Skype network programs. At the same time, in addition to saving us the purchase of webcam and microphone, it gives the opportunity to record videos directly onto our hard drives.
The best: The possibility to choose a complex password that we won't have to type every time we want to enter the system, so that we get to improve your security.
The worst: The mobile terminal battery consumption is very high and sometimes tends to "hang". It depends on user's WiFi connection.
Price: free.

Jacob Jolliff has been playing the mandolin since he was seven years old. Growing up in a musical family, he got his start taking lessons from his dad, Bill, a well-known Oregon banjo player. By the time Jacob turned 11, the two were gigging heavily together, and their band was a mainstay at bluegrass festivals around the Northwest. At age sixteen, after hundreds of gigs and four full-length recorded projects, Jake decided to take a break from working with his dad to explore performing in a variety of other contexts. He played consistently in a swing group with violin prodigy Alex Hargreaves and worked in several folk and pop duos. In 2008, Jake joined the New England based new acoustic group, Joy Kills Sorrow. They released three albums on Signature Sounds, featuring Jake on mandolin. In addition, they toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Over the years he has also had the opportunity to perform with many other major artists. He sat in with the David Grisman Quintet on numerous occasions starting when he was 15. When he was sixteen he performed on the CBS television network during the Christmas Eve Special. In 2007 he traveled to France with a group of young musicians led my Mike Marshall to perform at Festival Mandolines de Lunel. Some of the other artists Jacob has performed with include Ronnie McCoury, Chris Thile, Darol Anger, Sam Bush, Bryan Bowers, Tony Trischka, and the Irish super-group, Solas. He has also played sessions for countless recording projects and been featured on multiple national radio and television programs. In 2011 he graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and in September, 2012 he won The National Mandolin Championship in Winfield, KS.

- Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are legally guaranteed in Togo, but these rights are often ignored by the government. Pervasive impunity for crimes against journalists has created a tense and illiberal media environment.
- Severe punishment for libel is infrequent but remains a cause for concern. In December 2009, a Lome court ordered the private triweekly Golfe Info to pay US$172,000 directly to the plaintiff, the National Intelligence Agency; pay a fine of US$3,220; suspend all publication for two months; and retract the offending September story and any subsequent coverage of it. The original article had claimed that a celebrity who was allegedly involved in drug trafficking had worked as a project officer for the presidential administration.
- The High Authority of Broadcasting and Communications (HAAC), which was originally intended as an independent body to protect press freedom and ensure ethical standards, is now used almost entirely as the government's censorship arm. In October 2009, the parliament passed a law allowing the HAAC to impose sanctions, seize equipment, ban publications, and withdraw press cards.
- In April, following the disruption of an alleged coup plot led by the president's brother, the HAAC issued an order banning all radio and television programs in which the public is allowed to express its opinion. While the ban was only a temporary measure, it indicated the government's willingness to clamp down on the media whenever it sees fit.
- In an improvement from 2007, foreign journalists were able to operate freely throughout the country in both 2008 and 2009, and were not banned from critical reporting as they had been in the past.
- Journalists frequently operate in fear of violent attacks and harassment for their reporting, and many censor themselves as a result. While there were no reports of such attacks in 2008, in July 2009 a reporter with the private FM Radio Metropolys was assaulted by military personnel in the capital. When members of the Association of Human Rights Journalists later attempted to demonstrate in solidarity with the reporter, the military ordered them to disperse.
- Despite the rapid growth of private media since the late 1990s, the government owns the only daily newspaper and national television station, as well as several radio stations. The size of the private media sector is impressive for a relatively small country, with 25 regularly published newspapers, eight television stations, and approximately 100 radio stations. However, many of these outlets suffer from precarious finances and a low degree of professionalism. The official media strongly support the government, while private media are largely aligned with political parties.
- Access to the internet was generally unrestricted during the year, and just under 6 percent of the population was able to access the medium in 2009—a relatively high penetration rate by regional standards.

I must have asked him twenty times if he was sure. :)
And then I asked why?, just to be certain.

So, the tease for the 'No Frauds' video is over! Yes the video is here, and it's not lacking with new drama and tea. Just when we thought it was all chill and cool here comes Nicki being all messy again. So the video starts with true Nicki style. You know, fire and unique wardrobe that only Nicki can pull off #DOPE showing synopses of locations around London. Nicki was sitting in her throne as if she was claiming her kingdom that Remy Ma took with #Shether. And let's just say the shade in the video had our girl snatching that crown back, it isn't even about the lyrics anymore.
Let's just get to the hot topic that has everyone talking! So Remy Ma's best friend Rah Ali made her brief appearance in the video pretty much confirming her allegiance to the "No Frauds" side in the feud. Can we scream SHADY???! That is definitely one disloyal move. I mean Rah, you were one of Remy's bridesmaid for crying out loud. Was the pay out that good to be a snake to your friend?
Obviously, I'm not the only one hollering shady and fake at Rah but others such as Premadonna and Tommie shared their 2 cents on the disloyalty as well #CheckInstagram.
I guess Papoose was right all along- you should have listened Remy. I really just can't with these so called friends!!
On the other hand dope video, with some sick ass visuals and fashion. It featured fellow young money moguls Lil Wayne and Drake as "No Frauds" marked the team's first collab in three years. Drake even brought his dancehall counter-part Popcaan along to join in the shade- now that's loyalty (take notes Rah).
Can't wait to see what transpires out of this, but don't worry we'll definitely keep you posted!
Money well spent if I must add, right Rah?
-EditorsNote "Rah Ali Claims Her And Remy Ma's friendship Ended Months Ago.. Due to differences Remy Ma had with a Makeup Artist.. Justified Or Not ? .. Let's Us Know Legends

Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin told Axios that the GOP Senate primary in Mississippi could be heated this year, and warned that President Trump should "stay out of it" or risk angering grassroots voters.
Why it matters: Martin explained that when Trump does something Tea Party voters disagree with, they often "blame" Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan for "influencing him," rather than faulting Trump himself (she pointed to Trump's backing of incumbent Luther Strange in the Alabama GOP primary). But despite their unwavering support for Trump, Martin suggested that voters may not be so forgiving in Mississippi if the president endorses incumbent Sen. Roger Wicker over state Sen. Chris McDaniel (should McDaniel choose to run).

Current tax laws provide incentives to encourage private support of nonprofit organizations
like the Bakersfield College Archives Association. Strategic selection of the most appropriate gift
vehicle can lead to a far more significant contribution to the Archives Association than you may
have envisioned:
Cash - Send a check payable to BC Archives Association along with a letter stating
how you want the gift to be used.
Your gift is tax deductible in the year in which it is made.
In-kind donations - Your donation of tangible goods and services will receive a tax deduction
for the fair market value of the item if the gift can be utilized by the College. Common gifts are computers, books and
laboratory equipment. Call us to discuss your in-kind donation.
Real Estate - Gifts of homes, commercial buildings, and other property can be very helpful
to the College while providing donors with substantial benefits as well. Donors enjoy a
tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the real estate for up to 30% of your adjusted gross income the year
you transfer title, and amounts over 30% can be carried over for use during the next five years.
Bequests - The easiest way to make a planned gift is through your will, revocable trust or retirement plan.
You benefit with lifetime use of your assets and estate tax savings. We can provide you and your legal advisor with language to include
in your will that ensures that your wishes be carried out. It is helpful
if you inform the BC Archives Association of your bequest so we can assure you that your gift is properly structured and can
be used as you wish.
Cash and Real Property - Your will can designate BC Archives Association as the beneficiary of either
a specific legacy or a bequest that is a fixed percentage of your estate. You can bequeath securities, real estate, or other property.
You can make your gift contingent on other conditions of the will being fulfilled before the association receives a gift. You can
also bequeath the assets that remain after other bequests are met. Your estate receives the benefit of freedom from federal estate taxes
for the full value of the gift. If your needs change, you can alter a bequest at any time by signing a new will or amending your will
or trust.
Charitable Remainder Trust - Name the BC Archives Association as a recipient of a trust you establish.
The trust makes periodic payments to you and/or your beneficiaries, and when the trust terminates, the remaining
principal goes to support the Association. During the year you establish the trust, you receive a charitable income tax deduction based on the
current value of the asset less the value of the income interest, not the cost basis (what you have actually invested).
Life Insurance Policies - Name the BC Archives Association as a partial beneficiary or owner of a life insurance policy.
You benefit with an applicable charitable tax deduction.
Retirement Plan Assets - Name the BC Archives Association as a beneficiary of your retirement plan. You benefit
with lifetime control of assets, estate tax savings for estates over a certain value, and the option
to change beneficiaries if necessary.
** Always consult your attorney or financial advisor before making gifts. **

Nils-Axel Marner &Wibjarn Karlen Organizers of the Stockholm Symposium in 1983 Stockholm University, Sweden This book is the Proceedings of the SECOND NORDIC SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATIC CHANGES AND RELATED PROBLEMS held in Stockholm, Sweden, May 16-20, 1983 (Frydendahl et al., 1983; Marner, 1983). This was "an international interdisciplinary symposium with special refe- rence to Nordic records and their relation to global climatic changes". The first NORDIC SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATIC CHANGES AND RELATED PROBLEMS was held in Copenhagen in 1978 ( Frydendahl, 1978) and had a very broad scientific program. The SECOND NORDIC SYMPOSIUM was specifically directed to certain problems, time ranges and sources of information, as discussed below. Scandinavia is a classical area for the study of climatic fluctuations during the last 20,000 years . A major part of the basic data for the international theories and synthesis originate from Scandinavian data. This applies, for example, to: (1) The drastic climatic fluctuations in connection with the re- cession of the land-ice giving rise to the alternation of inter- stadials (warm periods with rapid ice recession) and stadials (cold periods with readvances or retardations in the ice recession). (2) The climatic changes during the Holocene with its well-known sub-division according to the Blytt-Sernander system (nowadays being used far outside the boreal region for which it was origi- nally defined). (3) The Holocene climatic optimum and the subsequent climatic de- terioration at around 2500 BP (well-established already at the beginning of this century).

10 Thrifty Decor Ideas
1. Recycled fabric and paper backdrop
you can create some really stunning backdrops with strips of old fabric and string, raid the linen box and you're sure to find old table cloths and sheets or visit your local charity shop for supplies
{Shellie Teal - Broad Division Studios}
2. Willow Letters
These are practically free to make, using willow or twigs with wild flowers, pine cones, dried flowers and all the beauty of nature; then simply fasten together with a little garden wire
3. Paper Chains
Not just for Christmas! recycle old cards or paper or even unwanted books or sheet music (you need quite thick paper to make the best chains, newspaper won't cut it)
{source unknown}
4. Pallet Wood menu board
You can literally make anything form an old pallet check out this site for amazing inspiration. For your wedding why not use this free source of wood to make some awesome recycled signage
5. Cow Parsley
This stuff is so pretty, it's totally free and grows literally on every roadside! It's also edible, why not get your caterers to throw a little into a wild food salad to accompany your starter?
6. Recycled Books table numbers
Perfect for a bit of a bookworm themed wedding, snap up old books for pennies at charity shops and stack up as quirky table centerpieces, stencil on some numbers et voila!
7. Simple & stylish table numbers
Use the things that you already have, vases, pretty bottles, raid your mums house (& your mother in law to be's) and see what pretty vessels you can nab for the day. Use a few minimal flowers and brown card with a white pen never fails, these would cost less than £1 each to make.
8. Paper Doilies place names
Get your maid with the fanciest handwriting to scribe names out on paper doilies for place names, you can pick these up at pound shops (about 100 for £1) you can often find them in different colours and shapes too. If you're handwriting is as dire as mine, get yourself some alphabet stamps and set aside a couple of hours
{source unknown}
9. Paper lanterns
Really boring as a lightshade but with lots grouped together they look pretty awesome, you can also paint them or dip dye them or even cover them in glitter!
10. Brown paper table runner
I love brown paper, its so cheap and simple and looks so good. I love the idea of having a paper table runner too that you can just write guests names on, you could also put out crayons and pens for the kids (or the adults) to doodle away
