As I laid in the special care unit of the OB ward last April, the amount of pain I felt was unbearable: the deep, gut-wrenching pain of helplessness and frustration, cloaked heavily in disgust for my body's failure to keep our daughter alive, and the overwhelming grief coupled with the realization of the emotional pain that was to come in the hours, days, weeks, months, and years ahead of us. To say I was in my own little world would be an understatement. To make matters worse, I hadn't slept in several days. I was the epitome of misery.
Two women came to the hospital. They wanted to talk to us. They were from some organization that I didn't care to be bothered with at that moment. At the prodding of my nurse and my momma, we agreed to speak with the women. Something about bereavement, mementos, and stuff like that. They left, telling us they would return at any time, day or night, to speak with us again when Eliza was born.
On April 6, 2013 in the wee hours of the morning I finally delivered our girl. She was broken but perfect and incredibly loved. The nurses notified the women to return, and at 2:30 in the morning they were there. They were there with comforting words, prayers, hugs, and patience. These two sweet, selfless women came into our room and experienced what was, for me, the most profound spiritual experience of my life. You see, in those moments after our baby was born, the most overwhelming peace and calm swept through the room. This was a feeling that was so incredible and so strong that I believe I could actually feel the Lord in the room. I felt the calming embrace that only the He can offer. In those days before, I had felt abandoned by God and conflicted with my faith. I know these precious moments were to reassure me when I needed it most. These moments of boundless peace and calm that my husband and I felt were shared with the special women of Sufficient Grace Ministries.
The sweet women asked us if we would like them to take photos of Eliza. I was uncertain in those emotional moments, but we agreed to let them do it.
Weeks passed. Months passed. An entire pregnancy passed. One week before the one-year mark of our brief hello and goodbye to our little one, I felt compelled to have something. Anything. I needed proof she existed. Proof this hurt wasn't for nothing. Proof that my feelings were valid and this hurt was justified. I sent an email to the woman who came to the hospital that night. I learned her name when she touched my heart with kindness that sad night. Her name is Kelly Gerken and she coordinates an organization called Sufficient Grace Ministries. I asked her if she had any photos of our little lady because I did not even remember if we had them taken. Thankfully, she had photos for us. And so this week, my husband and I went to see Kelly and retrieve the only pictures we will ever have of Eliza. It was an emotional reunion with Kelly, and an even more emotional moment seeing those pictures. We are so grateful we have them. It took me a year to feel ready, but I made it.
So on this day, one year later, we remember our baby girl, Eliza Marie. We remember our dreams for her. We remember the joy she brought us. We remember the love with which she was born. We remember her perfect fingers and toes. We remember that she will always be a part of us.
"A person's a person, no matter how small." – Dr. Seuss
Please consider supporting Sufficient Grace Ministries. This organization does amazing things for families and their sweet babies.

Premiership Preview – 24th August 2012
This entry was posted on Friday, August 24th, 2012
The opening day of the season is a strange old place, with correct score forecasts harder to find than a picture of Prince Harry with clothes on. But now we have a form guide of sorts, it should be childs play from here on in.
1) Whilst many were impressed with the way Everton battled to a deserved victory over Manchester United last Monday, it is worth recalling that only once last season was a Toffees home league win immediately followed by away success. We can't see how they deserve to be 6/4 favourites at Aston Villa (2/1) tomorrow. Villa drew an incredible 17 games last season and when you also note that six of the last seven meetings between the two have ended all square, we like the 12/5 with Bet365.
2) Having taken the lead at the City of Manchester Stadium last Sunday, Southampton will have high hopes for their first points of the season against Wigan. We are happy backing over 2.5 goals as the Latics have made their typically porous start to a season, whilst the Saints look willing to have a go. It is Evens with Ladbrokes so get involved.
3) Fulham are notoriously bad travellers, picking up fewer points on the road than relegated Bolton last season. At Old Trafford we can't see that improving given United have won this fixture without conceding for the past five years. Blue Square will give you 11/10 on that outcome and that's enough for us. We also like the United -1.5 handicap at Evens with Bet365.
4) Both Norwich and QPR shipped an impressive 66 goals overall which suggests we could be in for a few goals on Saturday at Carrow Road. Both sides continued in this form on the opening day, on the wrong side of a 5-0 shellacking. Something has to give, probably the defences, so we like both teams to score at 1.7 on Betfair.

Movie Soundtrack: The Wolf Of Wall Street
Tags: covers, blues rock, 7horse
So I don't know what the place where you work at is like, but I can't imagine in your wildest dreams you'd find yourself brokering stocks surrounded by marching bands and hookers. I guess we can't all be Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf Of Wall Street. Finding himself playing a lead in yet another Scorsese film, DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, based on the memoirs of the true-life stock broker who made his fortune during the 90s with a penchant for money, drugs, and sex. Belfort builds up his company starting as a boiler room in an auto body shop with a few desks into a company doing business with Steve Madden and opening up a world of excess, filled with drugs, depravity, and pure greed. Filled with an all-star cast including the likes of Jonah Hill playing one of Belfort's partners, Matthew McConaughey as his mentor, and Jon Favreau as his lawyer, The Wolf Of Wall Street finds itself as an even more morally corrupt version of Wall Street, with Belfort making Gordon Gecko seem like boy scouts and enough scenes making this an awkward movie to go see with your mother or grandmother (it has the ability to make even a hardened rapper blush). As for music, the film's music supervisor Randall Poster got a chance to go to town. It includes 60 different tracks ranging from genre and decade, and features some classic 90s hip-hop from the likes of Cypress Hill, and a great scene with the guys singing along to "Hip Hop Hooray" on a yacht. Reminding me of my younger days when I sang the same song with my buddies... except we were cruising around in my friend Dave's 1983 Lincoln Continental. It was kind of like a boat, I guess. Some other tracks include Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge," the Lemonheads covering Simon and Garfunkel, new dirty blues rockers 7Horse, as well as a plethora of other classical and blues tracks. So while you probably can't drive a Ferrari like Jordan Belfort, at least you can listen to music like him. 36 month prison sentence not included.

Pam, Graham and Justine, three of our members, are just back from the Big Busk at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain in Imperial Gardens, Cheltenham.
" We met over 1,000 uke players from all over the world to play from this years songbook. It was a wonderful weekend, with lots of jamming and a chance to pick up some new skills at the various workshops. We also watched an amazing variety of well-known performers from around the globe including The Mother Ukers, Craig Chee, Tomoko Sato, the phenomenal Taimane and the hilarious Hot Potato Syncopators. There was a lot of Haloah-ing going on!"

Leaving Your Legacy & Estate Planning
Having a strong estate plan in place can help ensure you leave a legacy for those you care about most.
Whether it's an inheritance for your children, an endowment for your alma mater or a donation to your church or favorite charity, we can help you plan your estate and build a legacy you'll be proud of.
Ease the burden of settling your estate
Settling an estate can be a lengthy and complicated process, especially for your grieving loved ones. Having an estate settlement plan can help bring them some relief.
Consider a trust as an estate planning tool
Trusts are flexible legal tools that can help ensure your assets are managed wisely and distributed according to your wishes. A personal trust in your estate plan can help you pass your legacy on with confidence.
Develop a plan to leave your legacy
Having an up-to-date will is one of the most loving things you can do for your loved ones. Our will and estate planning guide (PDF) can help you start the estate planning process.
What does it mean to leave a legacy?
Leaving a legacy means sharing your blessings with others. It means passing down your time, talents and treasures to the people and causes you care about. We have options, ideas and resources to help you make their futures stronger, brighter and more secure.
Include life insurance in your estate plan
Having life insurance as part of your estate plan can help you provide for your family's needs after you're gone. It helps take care of expenses and other financial obligations so your family doesn't have to. And, you can even name a charity as the beneficiary of your policy. Use our life insurance calculator to determine how much coverage you may need.
- Help protect your family's current lifestyle.
- Cover certain debts, estate taxes and final expenses.
Prepare for estate transfer
Your estate is the total of all your assets. If you have people or causes you care about, you need an estate strategy. Planning ahead and involving legal and tax professionals will help you align your estate with what's most important to you. Learn more about estate settlement services from Thrivent Trust Company.
- Ease financial burdens on your family.
- Help protect your assets for your loved ones.
Create a charitable giving strategy

The first step to a meaningful legacy is creating a plan that matches your interests and circumstances. Learn more from the InFaith Community Foundation (Link opens in new window).
- Give now or give later.
- Provide immediate or long-term support to your favorite charities.

Reconciliation is one of the sacraments of healing.
It is called:
- the sacrament of conversion … CCC 1423
- the sacrament of Penance… CCC 1423
- the sacrament of confession… CCC 1424
- the sacrament of forgiveness… CCC 1424
"It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the love of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God." (2 Cor 5:20) He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother." (Mt 5:24)" CCC 1424
Reconciliation involves the recognition and forgiveness of sins through conversion throughout one's life.
Children who have been baptized can prepare for and receive the sacrament of Reconciliation once they have reached the age of reason. Reconciliation is a repeatable sacrament.
Reconciliation must be celebrated before the reception of Confirmation and Eucharist (CCC 1310).
Baptism Certificate
Parents must provide a baptism certificate in order to register for preparation for the sacrament of Reconciliation. The parish must ensure that the child is a baptized member of the Roman Catholic Church before preparing and celebrating the sacrament of Reconciliation.
Records of baptism are held in the parish in which the child was baptized. Contact the parish to request a copy of the certificate of baptism.
The Parish partners with parents to appropriately prepare children for First Reconciliation. After baptism, children will prepare for and receive first Reconciliation in grade two (age 7) during Advent or Lent or at the beginning of grade three (age 7 or 8) during Advent. See December 27, 2006 Pastoral Letter.

Anniversary Trip
Yesterday I booked our 10-year anniversary trip. We're going to Cancun for 7 nights in May. It will be about 11 months late, but better late than never. We actually went to Cancun for our honeymoon, but went the ultra cheap route. This time we're going the little nicer route. We got a good deal through Travelzoo to stay here. Can't wait!

How to Reduce Your Weight by Eating Fruit
What eating fruit gives to our body? Fruits offer your body essential vitamins, highly powerful antioxidants, natural sweetness, and minerals. They also assist in weight loss and help you become healthy. Moreover, fruits are healthy and natural alternatives to foods like snacks and sugary desserts that contain excess of unsaturated fats. Fruits in turn have natural sweet, low in glycemic index scale, low in fats, and extremely low in calories. Eating fruit will make you feel energetic and fresh all day long. How eating fruit helps in weight loss? Some of the ways by which fruits help you to lose excessive weight are given below-: Appetite suppression-: fruits like avocado and blackberries are rich in fibre and increase digestion thus making you feel full. Nutritionists say that blackberries are one of the best fruits for weight-loss because they have less sugar and more fibre. Moreover, fruits which are rich in water, help to suppress appetite because most of the stomach gets filled with water and this helps in digestion. Some of these include oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Nutrients-: nutrients help to nourish your body and it is important to take the essential nutrients every day. Fruits are rich sources of nutrients that are required by your body and help in cutting down calorie intake. They also reduce the craving for sugar as well as carbohydrates. This is because fruits offer natural carbohydrates and sugar. You should consume dry fruits that provide iron and fruits which are rich sources of vitamin C like oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, pineapple, and grapefruit because vitamin C increases iron absorption power of your body. Dessert replacement-: sugary desserts can be consumed because they help in weight loss. This is just because they contain refined sugar as well as calories and saturated fats. So those who love eating sugary food can switch to eating diet-friendly as well as healthy fruits. You can also replace milkshakes and ice-creams with fresh fruits. Moreover, sweet candies and snacks can also be replaced with fruits. You will love to have apples covered with natural peanut butter.

How To Commit To A Weight-loss Eating Plan
The number one healthy living tip an expert could offer is the fact that it is really important to enjoy a properly balanced and additionally nutritious diet. Supplements have to be considered when you believe that the diet has some nutrient lacks. It is advised for eating around 5 servings of vegetables and fruits daily because they are really low in calories in addition they could consist of higher amounts of minerals, materials and vitamins. Simply to maintain your current body weight after the age of 40, we need to eat 100 less daily calories. Just 30 minutes of great exercise each day will do. But, can you maintain a low body weight and enjoy a good diet? Now is the time to develop exercise patters which can make your muscles, bones, and heart powerful as well. It is highly important for your heart to go maintain aerobic exercise. For your body, whole grains are especially recommended because they help in controlling your cholestrerol levels and hypertension. These foods are not only low in calories but include nutrients, minerals and dietary fiber essential for a healthy hearts. Avoid consumption of coffee, carbonated drinks, alcohol but include as much as you want of water, fresh fruits juices, greens, and lentils. A number of exercises are regarded as important for reducing excess weight. Pick a light workout which consists of aerobics, yoga, walking, or perhaps exercising. It's not a fixed rule and even if you don't have time for exercise everyday, how about 2-3 times a week? What you have to think about is the word 'moderation'. The reality being, your body would naturally like to develop unhealthy habits over time and we get so our bogged down in our self-obsessed damaging lifestyles. Cut out smoking tobacco. A healthier lifestyle is a disease-free life, and just what everyone really aspires to. All of us have the ability to follow healthy tips like going to bed bed early or taking a brisk walk or perhaps a little work out. If you decide you enjoy anything in particular, mild exercise is much easier to stick to it in the longer run. A sensible eating plan is something that will make you healthy and will improve your well being. Take some daily activity to help your digestive functions, the burning of calories and for the proper functioning of your body. Having a healthy life boosts your confidence and enables you to feel good about how you feel. As yourself can you fit in ninety minutes of your time for exercise each day? This may not be an easy task for most ordinary people. Go on give it a go!...read more

Twin Peaks Revival to Return in May
Well, this year is looking like a good year for TV as not only do we have the return of several long running shows, we also have the long awaited return of David Lynch's classic Twin Peaks.
Knowing David Lynch, I'm sure he'd all like to surprise us nearer the time with the show's return, but we do know that the long awaited return will be happening in the US on May 21.
For those of you in the United States, it will be the one and only Showtime who will be broadcasting Twin Peaks, and they will be airing the two-hour long premiere before making the third and fourth episodes available online via their streaming services.
Before those of you in the UK let out a frustrated groan at having to wait ages for the episodes, Sky Atlantic will be broadcasting them which should mean we will have to wait maybe a day or two to get our fill of the Peaks.
As we discussed previously, Lynch is at the helm for director and Mark Frost is once again in the writer's chair. The show will have a huge cast of 217 actors, some of which will be familiar faces and others not.
Among (many) others, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Amanda Seyfried, Ashley Judd, Tim Roth, Monica Bellucci, Michael Cera, Jim Belushi, Josh McDermitt, Francesca Eastwood, John Billingsley and Ernie Hudson. We also know that Kyle MacLachlan (naturally), Sherilyn Fenn and Ray Wise will be in the cast.
If you want to see the full list of the expansive cast, check out the graphics below. Have you followed us on Facebook and Twitter?

With reference to Dr Samantha Cope's PhD Thesis, please note the cover note below:-
Predictions for Medmerry, West Sussex have been based on the availability of limited data at the time. Therefore, application of these findings for practical purposes should be made with caution; please contact Dr Cope to discuss further.
(Reference sub-model 1) Further research is being undertaken by the Channel Coastal Observatory and Southampton University on behalf of SCOPAC. The study will apply Bradbury's (1998) overwashing model to all barrier beaches and spits between Portland Bill, Dorset and Shoreham, Sussex. Met Office wave data from 1986-2004, will be transformed to a nearshore point from which return periods will be derived. These will be more accurate than those used in this thesis.
(Reference sub-model 2) Discussions with Chichester District Council suggest that the annual longshore drift rate of 7,000 m3 used for application of Bruun and Gerristen (1960) approach for Medmerry is high. See the 2004 SCOPAC Sediment Transport Study for more information.

SAT Redesign – FAQ's
Katy, Texas – February 29, 2016
The changes are that are being made to the SAT test are designed to better reflect student readiness for college, and will emphasize critical thinking and problem solving. For instance, students will need to use context clues to understand vocabulary, and they will need to apply language and math skills in questions about science, history and social studies. The math section will focus more closely on the areas deemed most important in college and in career, including algebra, data analysis and problem solving.
When is it changing?
The first administration of the redesigned SAT will be in March 2016.
What is the difference between the current and the new redesigned SAT?
The redesigned SAT will be more focused on the areas of study that have been shown by current research to matter most in college and career success. Students will be asked to support their answers with evidence, define vocabulary in context, respond to an essay prompt asking them to analyze a writer's argument, and solve multi-step problems addressing math in real-world contexts.
How will the new SAT be scored? Are there now multiple scores?
The redesigned SAT will be scored on a 400- to 1600-point scale. The Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math section will each be scored on a 200- to 800-point scale. Scores for the Essay section will be reported separately. Another important change is the removal of the penalty for guessing. Students will receive points for correct answers, and not be penalized for wrong answers.
College Board will also include an enriched score report, with sub scores. This will provide more insight into student strengths and will help teachers and students identify areas where more focus is needed.
What should my student do to prepare for the redesigned SAT?
Rigorous course work will be the best preparation for the SAT. Students are encouraged to use free College Board resources to get to know the exam and to build on their preparation with targeted review and authentic practice. Free test preparation is also on the way through Khan Academy beginning June 2015. In addition, teacher and parent guides to the redesigned assessments will be available through College Board beginning summer 2015.
Is the PSAT changing? When will the new PSAT be administered?
Yes, the PSAT/NMSQT will change together with the SAT and is planned to launch in October 2015. This schedule will allow students to take the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT before the redesigned SAT.
How will this affect National Merit?
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) will continue to use the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) as an initial screen of candidates for the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. The PSAT/NMSQT redesign will mirror the redesign of the SAT.
My sophomore is currently involved in the Katy ISD National Merit Review Program. Is my child being prepared for the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT to be administered in October?
The Katy ISD National Merit Review Program uses Learning Systems to deliver the instruction to current sophomores (class of 2017). Learning Systems uses the test specifications from the redesigned SAT to design the instruction for the NMRP offered to sophomores in Katy ISD. Learning Systems is covering the format, structure, scoring and tactics for reading passages, writing/language skills and mathematics (with and without a calculator).
What does Katy ISD recommend for sophomores during this transition?
Katy ISD recommends that students in the CLASS OF 2017 take the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT in fall 2015 and the redesigned SAT in March 2016 or after. Their PSAT/NMSQT score reports will identify areas in need of improvement. In conjunction with Khan Academy personalized practice, students should be prepared for the redesigned SAT.
Which test should I take?
Both are admissions exams widely accepted by colleges and universities. Here is a description of each exam. If students have spent considerable time specifically preparing for a particular exam, this should be considered. Colleges that have accepted the SAT will most likely accept both the existing and new SAT. The existing SAT is available until early 2016.

Before the advent of the Italians at the end of the 19th century, the history of Eritrea is characterized by the domination of various powers, such as the Turks and Egyptians. From 1557, the Massawa coastal area was under the rule of the Ottomans until the Egyptians took possession in 1865. The Italians took it in 1889 when they formally declared Eritrea as their colony. The Italian rule lasted till 1941.
Then the British at the onset of World War II placed Eritrea under British military administration until 1952 when it was federated with Ethiopia (1952-1962) and was finally annexed as a province of Ethiopia. The unpopular Federation and subsequent annexation of Eritrea with Ethiopia led to an armed struggle for liberation which began in September 1961 and would last more then 30 years, until Eritrea was finally liberated in May 24th 1991.
Eritrea offers an untamed landscape of astonishing diversity, an interior rich in historical remains, a coastal gateway to some outstanding diving spots, and a broad, hospitable welcome. Eritrea will prove irresistible to those seeking adventure and new horizons.

Revisiting the 2001 La Rioja Alta, Ardanza
Almost one year ago I opened the 2001 La Rioja Alta, Ardanza, Reserva Especial. While there are yearly releases of Ardanza only special vintages have been designated Reserva Especial. As a sense of how rare this designation is it has only occured in two previous vintages: 1964 and 1973. We had a hard time finding interest with our first bottle and ultimately did not favor it. Phil and I discussed my post a few times over the year. I rather enjoy classic Rioja so the bottle was probably underperforming from its then recent transit to Washington, DC. While I often revisit the less expensive wines I write about these more expensive wines are typically tasted once due to the cost. When I saw this wine on the shelves at MacArthur Beverages this month I knew I had to try it again. This bottle was much better. With Eric Asimov's top two Rioja Reservas currently available at MacArthur Beverages I would grab a bottle of this wine along with the 2001 Bodegas Hermanos Pecina. Open them both up with your friends.
2001 La Rioja Alta, Vina Ardanza, Reserva Especial, Rioja – $30
Imported by The Country Vintner. This wine is a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel then aged for three years in four-year old American oak casks. The medium-strength nose revealed textured fruit, spice, and wood notes. In the mouth the wine was medium-bodied with a mixture of savory and tart red fruit showing subtle strong grip while retaining delicacy. There were notes of spice and wood box mixing with citrus-like tannins which coated the teeth and lips. There was understated weight in the finish with tart and bluer fruit. There is plenty of acidity throughout. The mature notes are underpinned by a youthful mass that is suggestive of long development. ***(*) 2017-2030.
Phillipe Cambie's Les Halos de Jupiter
Last week I happened to find myself driving near a Total Wine store in Virginia. Not willing to waste the opportunity I quickly stopped by. I immediately spotted these two distinctive bottles with Phillipe Cambie's name on them. Phillipe Cambie is a famous consultant whose upbringing in the Mediterranean has made him addicted to Grenache. Les Haloes de Jupiter is a negocient project he works on with Michel Gassier of Chateau de Nages. For Phillipe "Grenache is the king of all grapes and the natural leader of all Rhone varietals" so it is natural that this Grenache-based project is named after Jupiter. Both of these wines are more than two-third Grenache. Of these two powerful wines my recommendation is to try the Vacqueyras. It shows more interesting and persistant flavors along with good overall balance. They are currently available at Total Wine.
2009 Les Halos de Jupiter, Cotes du Rhone – $15
Imported by Saranty Imports. This wine is a blend of 85% old-vine Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre sourced from a vineyard near Roaix at the Northern end of the Southern Rhone. Fermented for five weeks the fruit undergoes malolactic fermentation then is blended and aged. The Grenach and Mourvedre are abed for one year in concrete vats and the Syrah is barrel aged. The color is a medium, youthful ruby. There is a slightly heady nose of blue fruit and blueberry liquor. In the mouth there are concentrated bluer fruit flavors, integrated sweet drying tannins. There is a lightness to the fruit with hints of the alcohol poking out. I had a hard time getting a read on this wine so I would suggest cellaring it for a few years. ** 2014-2019.
2009 Les Halos de Jupiter, Vacqueyras – $20
Imported by Saranty Imports. This wine is a blend of 83% Grenache which is very old and 17% Syrah which is 35 years old. The fruit is sourced from the Plateau des Garrigues with soils of rolled pebbles and red clay. Fermented for five weeks the fruit undergoes malolactic fermentation then is blended and aged for one year in demi-muid. This wine revealed a tight nose of mixed fruit. In the mouth the dense red and blue fruit mixed with sweet spices and a cool aspect. There is understated power to the wine with enjoyable sweet tannins which coat the lips and cheeks. The tannins dry out a touch before sweet spice and minerally blackberry flavors come out. This is drinkable now but the wine plays it close. *** 2017-2025.
Tasting 1999 Chateau Palmer at MacArthur Beverages
This week I stopped by MacArthur Beverages to pick up more wine to taste. Mark called me to the back of the store where he promptly poured me a glass of 1999 Chateau Palmer. How could I refuse such a surprise? The Wine Spectator Grand Tour is stopping by Washington, DC so Jean-louis Carbonnier is in town. Jean-Louis is the North American Manager for Chateau Palmer and he had opened the 1999 with Mark. Though the bottle had just been opened the nose developed quite rapidly over the first fifteen minutes. The nose remained more mature than the palate becoming more expressive and forward with time. Upon first tasting, the mineral vein in the mouth mixed with black fruits in such an enjoyably determined manner that it caused me to pause. With air it calmed down a bit but the flavors in the mouth remained youthful and focused. I very much enjoyed the initial trajectory of this wine. Please enjoy my mini tasting note below.
1999 Chateau Palmer, Margaux –
This wine is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. The slightly mature nose had a tight core with lifted aromas of leather it. The nose rapidly opened up with The mouth was quite different with a tighter and young core of black and red fruit, a very strong racy mineral vein throughout, and good power. In the finish the flavors turn towards redder fruit with softer, well-integrated tannins. The good balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins made this young wine quite easy to drink. A pleasure to smell now but it should be cellared for maturity. ***(*) Now-2025.
Frothy and Floral Single-Vineyard Prosecco
Recommended by Tim as an excellent single-vineyard Prosecco both Jenn and I were immediately pleased by our first glass. Jenn even remarked that this might be her bubbly selection for the summer. Prosecco is a different type of wine in that it is fermented entirely in stainless steel tank before transferring to the bottles after the bubbles have been produced. This results in a wine with a relatively low alcohol, this bottle lists 11.5%. This wine from Bortolomiol is produced from parcels located on the hill of Cartizze which is considered to produce the best Prosecco. If you are looking for an aromatic wine with sweet floral notes and frothy feel then grab a few bottles of this selection. With its low alcohol you may readily drink a few glasses and feel refreshed. This is currently available at MacArthur Beverages.
NV Bortolomiol, Superiore di Cartizze, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOC – $19
Imported by Dreyfus Ashby. This wine is 100% Glera sourced from parcels on the hill of Cartizze within the municipality of Valdobbiadene. It is a light yellow color in the glass. The nose reveals ample sweet floral aromas. In the mouth the frothy white fruit mixed with berries and floral notes. There are very fine froth bubbles with flavors of rose then spices, a little tang, and sweet notes in the aftertaste. On subsequent nights the changed from frothy to delicate with a round start, hints of apple flavors, a touch of residual sugar and floral notes in the middle. Drinking fabulously right now. *** Now.
The Big and Racy 2011 Mordoree, La Dame Rousse, Rose
Though we drink the Domaine de la Mordoree, La Dame Rousse, Rose every year but I was still somewhat shocked by the quality of this wine. So much so I simply drank my glass from the first two bottles I opened amongst family and friends. I eventually took a note from the third bottle which I opened up at home. It is on the bigger side of rose but drinks well at a variety of temperatures and maintains its nature if drunk over several days from the refrigerator. I recommend you grab a few bottles for a picnic or barbecue. This wine is available at MacArthur Beverages.
2011 Domaine de la Mordoree, La Dame Rousse, Rose, Cotes du Rhone – $15
Imported by Kysela Pere et Fils. This wine is a blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, 10% Carignan, and 5% Counoise sourced from 20-year-old vines. The perfumed nose wafts out of the glass with aromas of berries and florals. The big, racy flavors of strawberries and cherries fill the mouth with some creamy feel to them. Sweet spices coat the tongue and the wine becomes a little chewy in the aftertaste. Very satisfying now with the stuffing to drink well over the next year. *** Now-2013.
The Compelling 2004 Odoardi, Vigna Garrone
Last month we tried two excellent wines from Odoardi. We started with the affordable 2006 Odoardi, Savuto then tried the more expensive 2004, Odoardi, Vigna Garrone. The Garrone vineyard lies within the Scavigna DOC which is located south of Savuto on the western coast of Calabria. The vineyard sits on a ridge at 250 meters overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Stefano Chioccioli is the winemaker with a degree in agriculture who went on to become certified as an agronomist and oenologist from the University of Bordeaux. This wine received the highest rating of Tre Biccheri in the 2008 Gambero Rosso. It is an excellent example of blending indigenous with international varietals. This is a good drink right now but make sure to give it a few hours of air. Better yet is to cellar a few bottles so that it may reach maturity. It is currently available at MacArthur Beverages.
2004 Odoardi, Vigna Garrone, Scavigna Rosso – $30
Imported by Siema Wines. This wine is a blend of 80% Gaglioppo, 10% Nerello Cappuccio, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Merlot. It underwent malolactic fermentation then was aged for 18 months in French oak. The nose was aromatic with finely textured red and blue fruit along with wood box. With air a hint of tobacco came out. In the mouth the steely red fruit mixed with inky blue fruit which was carried through on a minerally vein. The wine exhibits good grip with a chewy nature in the aftertaste where there are medium textured, ripe tannins. There are some mature bits to this wine but the cool power and good integration show that this will develop for some time. ***(*) Now-2022.
Two Vigorous Italian Wines
I have been having great fun drinking Italian wines this Spring and these selections are two reasons why. The Antica Enotria was good fun because it has just enough bottle age to lose its edge while simultaneously show some mature notes. It proved quite satisfying for both Jenn and I. We have been consistently pleased with the wines from Sagrantino di Montefalco so I grab any affordable bottle I can find. Tim has a good selection of slightly older more expensive wines that I cannot wait to try but he also looks out for the affordable bottles. The Colsanto is one of his tasty, affordable selections. Right now it is a vigorous drink with all of the components for aging. I would buy a few bottles try to several years from now, though I imagine this will easily live for a decade. These wines were purchased from MacArthur Beverages.
2006 Azienda Agrobiologica Antica Enotria, Aglianico, Puglia IGT – $19
Imported by Farello Wines. This wine is 100% Aglianico which was harvested in mid-October. The fruit is fermented in stainless steel, undergoes malolactic fermentation for six months followed by aging for eight months in oak barrels. The Italian nose had aromas of red fruit and sweaty leather. In the mouth the black fruit was quite linear, taking on some wood box flavors along with very juicy acidity. The dry black fruit was matched by the drying tannins on the teeth, lips, and cheeks. The flavors were tart in the finish with a long aftertaste of low-lying wood and mature notes. Pleasing in a rustic manner. *** Now-2017.
2008 Fattoria Colsanto, Sagrantino di Montefalco, Umbria – $18
Imported by Siema Wines. This wine is 100% Sagrantino sourced from vineyards in Montarone on soils of clay and lime. The fruit is harvested at the beginning of October, fermented in stainless steel, then undergoes malolactic fermentation in 70% wood casks and 30% stainless steel. The wine is then aged for 15 months in wooden casks followed by a further 12 months of aging in stainless steel tanks. The slightly heady nose reveals aromas of very subtle candied rose. In the mouth the stoney red fruit immediately starts with integrated drying tannins. Cool blue fruit comes out, which is lighter in weight, as the inside of the lips dry out and the tongue salivates from underneath. There is some midpalate warmth, a bit of a racy personality, and some sweetness to this young wine. *** 2015-2022.

I once read of a grizzled newsman in the early 20th century who called the Sports page "the toy department." You readers who are not Lakers fans, please forgive this brief moment in the toy department.
The Lakers won the first two games of a six-game road trip, crushing the Milwaukee Bucks and the hapless Toronto Raptors. The rest of the trip:
Chicago, today
Minnesota, Saturday
Dallas, Monday
Memphis, Wednesday
What will be their record on this road trip? I say 5-1, losing only to Dallas. Yes, that is most certainly wishful thinking.
The Lakers are now 9-9. If they were in the Atlantic Division, they would be in first place.
For anyone interested, check out Lakers Blog and Forum Blue and Gold.
Our visit to the toy department is now ended. The elevator will return you to home appliances, women's lingerie and men's clothing.

North Korea claimed to have made a significant advance in missile technology after a new intercontinental ballistic missile demonstrated stability and accuracy during its test flight using a new home-made mobile launch pad.
Dozens of pictures released by Pyongyang's state media on Thursday showed the "Hwasong-15" ICBM being moved onto a transport erector launcher (TEL) before being fired at a vertical angle.
The Hwasong-15 looked completely different from two Hwasong-14 ICBMs tested in July. The upper part of Hwasong-15's second stage was relatively round and blunt, while the Hwasong-14 had a sharp tip.
Along with stability and accuracy in the new missile's propulsion and guided flight, the warhead demonstrated credibility in the re-entry environment, according to the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Watched by leader Kim Jong-un, KCNA said the new missile was launched from a nine-axis vehicle called "transport erector launcher (TEL)", which appeared to be longer than an eight-axis model used for previous ICBMs.
The new TEL vehicle was developed purely with independent technology, KCNA said, adding Kim praised related workers for opening the way for the complete localization of ICBM launch pads.
Kim "personally" supervised the exercise on Wednesday and was "so excited to express his great satisfaction", KCNA said. "The day was a significant day when the historic cause of completing the state nuclear force, the cause of building a rocket power was realized," he was quoted as saying.
Pyongyang's ultimate goal of a nuclear-armed missile capable of reaching the US mainland. The North has sought to improve technologies related to a nuclear warhead, re-entry and guided flight, but experts cast doubt on a working re-entry vehicle with a heat shield suitable for an ICBM.
An ICBM capable of delivering a payload needs to be able to reenter the atmosphere without breaking up. After the North's ICBM launch in July, John Schilling, a U.S. missile expert, said that because of a reduced payload, the re-entry vehicle appeared to have disintegrated before reaching the ground.
At the time, Schilling predicted that there would be a substantial design change for a missile capable of reaching US west coast targets, or North Korea might use an increased payload to test more advanced warheads and decoys which in the longer term could be incorporated in a new solid-fuel ICBM.

There are many aspects of probating an estate that may be complicated for some, and difficult for many. The fact is, while everyone is in the process of grieving over the loss of their loved one, the last thing anyone truly wants to engage in is beginning the probate process. Unfortunately, this is generally something that must be executed to ensure the transfer of wealth from the decedent is completed and given to those who have been named as a beneficiary.
In most cases, the decedent will have assigned a personal representative, or executor, of their estate, and this person is responsible for doing one or more of the following:
- Distribute inheritances to those named as a beneficiary.
- Publish notice of your loved ones' death in the local paper.
- Make contact with creditors.
- Meet deadlines the courts have provided you with.
- Resolve financial matters.
- Make a record of any and all assets.
- Follow and abide by all necessary requirements and rules set forth by the court.
- Assure any unpaid tax obligations are taken care of.
- Comply with statutes involving probating one's estate.
While the responsibilities solely rely on the number of assets the decedent had, the fact is, probating an estate and will requires a significant amount of time, and some understanding of how to correctly carry out the duties involved.
If you recently were notified that you have been assigned as the executor, you may want to consider sitting down with an experienced probate lawyer in your area today to discuss the assets and property you are now responsible for distributing ownership, and whether or not you are handling this matter according to the statutes and laws set forth by the courts.
Probating an Estate Can be a Complicated Matter
Were you aware that there were deadlines that must be met when probating a loved one's estate? Not only that, but you are limited to who can help you during this confusing process as the clerks in the court aren't legally permitted to give you advice or advise you how to correctly handle this process.
This is why we encourage you to reach out to USAttorneys.com now where we can help get you paired up with a skilled and worthy probate legal representative close to you. We understand you have many other prior commits going on in your life and probating your loved one's estate is far too complicated to get accomplished on your own. This is why we offer you the free service we do and urge you to take advantage now and find the lawyer who can help ease the stress you may have been experiencing.

Today's word is – "plutocracy"
plutocracy [plu·toc·ra·cy ] noun. Pronounced "ploo-tok-ruh-see"
From Vocabulary.com
In a plutocracy, the people are ruled by the wealthy few. We know that's not true of our democracy.
Origin – 1650s, from Greek ploutokratia "rule or power of the wealthy or of wealth," from ploutos "wealth" + -kratia "rule"
Related words – plutocrat, plutarchy
Example sentence from Merriam-Webster
If only the wealthy can afford to run for public office, are we more a plutocracy than a democracy?
Hope you had fun, see you next week with another word .

Just a little piece today to say how relieved I am to hear that the painting I sold through Saatchiart.com has reached it's destination safely so I should get paid shortly.
Not, as I have said before, that the money is what it's all about but remembering the love and effort which went into the original creation of this piece a financial return is rather a nice return. Plus it will allow me to make further forays into exhibiting and entering my work for competitions and open submissions which as we all know is not free! Whilst I have never expected painting to make me rich it has always been important to me that it does at least pay for itself and a bit of profit on top is the icing on the cake.
So after several hours carefully and painstakingly packing up this piece of work for it's long journey across the pond to New York it is a huge relief to hear that it arrived safely. I do feel sorry for the poor person at the other end who had to unpack it as I think I used almost one and a half rolls of packing tape to say nothing of the amount of bubble wrap. Much as I decry so much plastic in our world these days, it takes 50 years to decompose, bubble wrap is an amazing thing. Fantastic for protecting paintings it is also great fun to sit bursting the little bubbles in moments of contemplation. I have yet to meet anyone who can resist.
In a complete digression, I remember a very happy morning spent with my son when he was little opening a large parcel at Christmas time which was wrapped in large layers of this useful packaging. We spent at least an hour or so with me sitting on the kitchen floor while he in deep joy ran and jumped all over the bubble wrap listening with glee as all the little bubbles popped. Often the simple pleasures are the best.
So to get back on track I'm just glad "The Daily Climb" has a lovely new home, arrived safely and hope it's release to the world may lead to new sales, perhaps one of these two might be next.

Currys and PC World owner Dixons Retail today said it had outperformed its struggling rivals, despite further sales woe over the Christmas period.
The group, which has 640 stores in the UK and Ireland, reported a 7 per cent fall in like-for-like sales in the 12 weeks to January 7, even though it was helped by a doubling in sales of iPads and Kindle devices.
Shares opened 10 per cent higher as the update was better than the City's worst fears and included a 23 per cent rise in trading between January 4 and January 14 after its sales period was boosted by weak comparisons with the previous year.
Chief executive John Browett described the group's performance as "solid" and said it had outperformed rivals Comet, which was recently sold by parent Kesa Electricals for £2, and Best Buy, which has just thrown in the towel in the UK.
He said he was not able to give market share figures but added: "We are ahead of the market and you can see it in some of our competitors' numbers."
The electronics market has taken a massive knock from the squeeze in consumer spending in recent months, with retailers forced to put on a flurry of discounts.
Dixons said it had outperformed rivals with the help of strong online trading, demand for its click and collect service and its new Knowhow offering which sees it offer expertise to help customers install new technology.
Mr Browett said the group's product margin had been eroded in the period as it competed harder on price.
But the group's overall margins improved over the period as it made cost savings and was helped by its higher margin Knowhow offering.
He said the sales losses came as Dixons was forced to "weather" Best Buy's closing down sale over the past six weeks, although he said he believes Comet has "had a very difficult time of it" over the period.
But he added that many shoppers had waited until the January sales to buy products, but said this had only helped it gain share.
Dixons said shoppers were still coming to it for new technology such as 3D televisions and e-book readers despite the squeeze in spending. Sales of headphones and coffee machines were also strong.
The group reported more strong growth in its Nordics region, but further sales declines in southern Europe. Across the group, like-for-like sales were 5 per cent lower.
Freddie George, an analyst at Seymour Pierce, said Dixons is the "last man standing" and believes the company will benefit when consumer confidence returns.

Not far from the Angkor Complex lies the huge Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in south-east Asia and the lifeblood of Cambodia. In the wet season, the Lake swells to 12,000 km² but during the dry season, it shrinks to a fraction of that size. Each year, millions of fish come to spawn in the seasonally flooded forest surrounding the lake, attracting a myriad of water birds. Three million people also depend upon it for their food and livelihoods. This valuable ecosystem was classified as an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997.

In the morning, we take a boat along the Mekong River to visit Koh Dach, also known as 'Silk Island'. We can see the weaving techniques first-hand and experience the realities of village life. The silk they weave is sold to buyers from Phnom Penh and beyond, so buying direct from the weavers here is much cheaper.
