Summary and Context:
Today looks very much like yesterday because I will continue to engage my students in a close reading of the narrative, Tomas and the Library Lady. The narrative has a complex storyline. I will be asking text-dependent questions to help the students go back to the text for the answers. Text-dependent are questions that can only be answered with evidence from the text. So I will review with them the word "evidence," again. This is the first reading of the second part of the story, so the questions will be based on what the text explicitly says. Later lessons will go deeper into the author's craft and structure and evaluation and analysis of ideas in the text. The story is 24 pages long, so reading the whole story would be too much for them in one lesson. That is why I am dividing the reading in two days/lessons. Today we are reading the second half.
I will remind my students to use the the comprehension strategy of clarification when we come across an unknown word or a confusing part. The chart of vocabulary words we started yesterday will be be available for us to add to.
To figure out unknown words, I will also refer to the vocabulary strategies: context clues, word structure (word parts: prefix, suffix, related words), and apposition (where the definition is given after the word) to guide them in coming up with an understanding of the word.
After reading I will gather my students on the rug and continue with the Socratic Seminar we started yesterday. Then, my students will have a chance to synthesize the ideas about the text that they developed over the course of the lesson in writing.
Lesson Opening:
I start the students on the rug and share the student friendly objective: I can ask and answer questions to understand key details about a text.
The students will read it chorally with me. I ask a couple of students to explain what is that we are doing.
After, I review the comprehension strategy of clarifying. Good readers know when they don't understand something, and my students need to be aware of how to use go back and reread to clarify.
Next, I ask the students, what happened in the part of the story we read yesterday? I find it quite valuable to review.
I ask them to do a think-pair-share before a few share aloud.
With students back at their seats, I review the vocabulary strategies and the comprehension strategy of clarifying. We can use these strategies when solving unknown words and when there is a confusing part in the story. In working with English Language Learners, I make sure I provide linguistic patterns to help support their language skills.
Therefore, I teach them to say:
I will let them read the majority of the text today because at this point of the year they are ready to do so. As in yesterday's lesson, I involve the students with these reading techniques: cloze reading technique (the teacher leaves out a word and the students read it chorally), a whisper read (students read in a whisper voice), and reading silently.
The text dependent questions ask explicitly what the text states and today's focus is about the Library Lady. To answer the questions, students will need to Find the evidence in the text. I may modify the questions as needed depending on the answers the students give me. I may need to ask other questions. I may delete some. It is always better to have more than one thinks one will need!
I will meet with students on the rug to begin our Socratic Seminar. We will sit on the edges of the rug ready to discuss. All the students will bring their books with them. I review the rules and the Handing-Off process. Today, we will practice having a Handing-off Discussion with three questions:
I will follow up with questions to encourage students to cite evidence:
I am looking for students to follow the rules and to participate by sharing and/or listening. In answering the questions, I am looking for them to answer with complete sentences. I am looking for them to Hand-off successfully.
I set the timer in my phone to help us keep on track.
I have attached a document that provided more in depth information about how I implement Socratic Seminar in my classroom in case you are curious to read more.
One of the important events in the story is Tomas meeting the Library Lady. She changes his life. So now they will write about the Library Lady by answering the following questions:
I am looking for them to work independently, answer with complete sentences, and provide evidence from the text. I will provide feedback about their evidence and give them suggestions as to how to include the evidence if it is lacking.
Here are some samples of their work:
I bring my students to the rug for them to share about the Library Lady. The students I select to share are those students who have met the task and have used evidence from the text to describe the Library Lady in their journals. During their writing time, I made note of these students, and I asked them to volunteer.
After the speakers share, they receive feedback. This is the system I use to make the process safe and fun:
This time on the rug allows me to ask the students whether we met our objective and to close the lesson.

Minnesota Top Court Dismisses Vikings Stadium Suit
ST. PAUL (AP) — Minnesota's Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the funding plan for a new Vikings football stadium.
The decision Tuesday clears a late obstacle that threatened to hold up construction and delay a planned 2016 opening. Minnesota finance officials postponed a $468 million bond sale while the case was pending.
It was filed Jan. 10 by a former Minneapolis mayoral candidate who argued the stadium funding was unconstitutional. Taxpayers are footing about half the cost.
The stadium will be built on the Metrodome site. State lawmakers authorized construction in 2012.

Everyone's 'Mad' about Christina Hendricks – but she just can't find a dress
She has the hottest figure in Hollywood, hailed as a body icon de jour. But while Christina Hendrick's curves are coveted by women everywhere, it seems designers are yet to embrace her voluptuous shape.
The Mad Men star, who has hypnotised fans as sexy secretary Joan Harris on the show, has spoken out about the difficulties she faces finding clothes that cater to her UK size 14 figure (US size 12).
"People have been saying some nice, wonderful things about me," Christina said in a recent interview. "Yet not one designer in town will loan me a dress."
"They only lend out a size 0 or 2. So I'm still struggling for someone to give me a darn dress."
As a top US actress who was recently named sexiest woman alive, Christina should be expected to be top of designers' hit lists. But it seems the fashion world still has a way to go before it fully embraces the hourglass figure.
That said, the industry does seem to be moving towards promoting a fuller body shape – Chanel and John Paul Gaultier recently used plus-sized model Crystal Renn in their campaigns (24-year-old Crystal measures up as a UK size 16 or a US 14).
Despite her sartorial struggles, 35-year-old Christina has still managed to wow on the red carpet.
The flame-haired beauty – a fan of L'Wren Scott's dresses - most recently impressed at the 62nd Emmys, spilling out of a low-cut lavender Zac Posen gown that flaunted her ample curves.
And she looked ravishing in a red Carolina Herrera number when she attended the 2010 SAG Awards back in January.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Steve: Death By Talking
Last one! Hooray!
Steve is 51 and did something with the Dallas Cowboys that I don't quite understand. It has to do with a being a free agent. Does that mean he played or something? Unless he was a cheerleader and on that show Making The Team: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, I really don't care what he did.
So Steve doesn't like it when people litter and he wants to go on Survivor to teach everyone the value of teamwork. Grrrreat, that should be fun. To the video!
OK I think he's still talking. The video stopped, but I'm pretty sure he's still talking and a poor cameraman is whimpering from the hot Nicaraguan sun.
Steve's annoying. He's a little bit like Hank Hill or Al Bundy in that he lives his life through his football years that happened ages ago. Live in the now man.
All I really care about is that I'm done. YESSSSS!
I'll do an announcement about the Survivor Fantasy Game at the Bitchy Network in a few days. Later bitches!

Wow, this guy was boring! It was 20 seconds ago and I can't even tell you what he said. I DO remember him talking about his football career a few times. A career that was 30 years ago!ReplyDelete

Man, if I ever need a sleeping pill I'll just listen to this guy crap on about his one shining moment in life 30 years ago. My first thought on him was that he's going to be first voted off...but then his was the fist video I watched. Having watched everyone else I still have the same thought...he truly sucks.ReplyDelete
Aaaahhhhhhh it's good to be back and ready for another round of Survivor. Looking forward to your insightful and witty summations of the game LaLa, I love your work!
OMG. I love Making the Team. LOVE it. Every year I look in vain on my DVR for the next season of Making the Team (along with Paradise Hotel). *Sigh* they don't make em like they used to.ReplyDelete
Anyhoo. What did he say? I have no idea because I was obsessing over Making the Team. He seems bossy. I hate bossy mens.

Two Laramie Students Win NCWIT Computing Award
Two Laramie students have been named winners of the National Center for Women and Informational Technology (NCWIT) Award for Aspirations in Computing.
According to a UW release, Laramie's Lia Eggleston and Jingyu Li were two of five female Wyoming High School students to win the award based on their computing achievements, proper leadership, good academic performance, and high college aspirations. UW and Western Wyoming Community College are affiliates of the NCWIT awards and assisted in selecting the five winners from across the state of Wyoming.
The Wyoming Affiliate Competition winners will be recognized during a luncheon at the University of Wyoming's Women in Science Conference on May 14.
A UW release goes on to say Lia Eggleston, a freshman whose home schooled by her parents in Laramie says, "This
award is important to me because it represents the beginning of a journey. I am not super experienced in computing and programming yet, but my dreams and aspirations are big. I am very interested in a career in computing, and I want to explore subjects in arts and mathematics related to programming."
The University says Eggleston is currently in India with her parents who are on a leave of absence. She was introduced to programming a year and a half ago and has taken free online courses offered by Coursera which is a social business that partners up with some of the world's top universities. Eggleston used the information she learned from these various online courses to build basic games, graphics, and other programs.
The release goes on to say Laramie High School junior Jingyu Li was the second Laramie native to win the NCWIT award. Li says, "As I plan to pursue a career in applied mathematics and computer science, I appreciate being recognized for my achievements in computing. "I also hope this award will inspire more girls to develop their interest in computing."
The University also states Li got her computer technology background with the help of her dad as she set up a server at home when she was just a freshman in high school. On that server she was able to learn how to use various different programs such as Java, PHP, and ColdFusion.
A UW release states the other three winners of the award were Rylee Marron of Cody High School, Blake Marquardt of East High School, and Korina Ike of Hulett High School.
According to the University, each winner will receive a trophy, swag bag, and a 64-gigabyte USB flash drive pre-loaded with a software development device according to Allyson Anderson, a senior lecturer in UW's Computer Science Department.

So Will the Liberal Arts Help Me Get a Job?
It takes guts to come to Wabash. The work is hard, the demands are high, and yes, the students are all men. But the rewards are plentiful. Wabash men leave the College prepared for the rigors of graduate and professional schools, careers in business, and in vocations from ministry to teaching.
Just ask any of our graduates, who include MetLIfe Americas President Bill Wheeler '83; General Motors Treasurer Jim Davlin '85; President Bill Clinton's attorney, David Kendall '66; the Chairman and CEO of American Funds, Kevin Clifford '77; Mayo Clinic Oncologist Gary Croghan '77; award-winning fiction writer Dan Simmons '70; Saturday Night Live and 30-Rock Designer Tom Broecker '85; and Pete Metzelaars '82, who played in four Super Bowls and helped coach the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl Championship.
Wabash men dare to succeed in any field they choose to pursue. Many students enter the job market immediately upon graduation; others head straight into graduate and professional schools. In 2011, Wabash grads took positions with Teach for America, Peerless Industries, Eli Lilly & Company, Apparatus, the U.S. Forest Service, Louis Vuitton, Merrill Lynch, and Valspar, among many others.
In most years, about 25-30 percent of the graduating class went directly into graduate, medical, or law school, with many of them pursuing Ph.D. studies. Wabash men of the Class of 2011 are studying at graduate schools like Indiana University Medical School, Baylor School of Medicine, Notre Dame, Marquette, Ohio State, Columbia, and Florida State.

Got Internships?
Whatever your interests, our options for internships are nearly limitless. And many of our internships are paid!
Every year about 100 students spend the summer working side-by-side with faculty and staff on research and creative projects — and many co-publish or co-present the work at national conferences. Fully 70 percent of Wabash graduates complete one or more internships during their time on campus at places like National Public Radio, DDB Worldwide, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Global Works, IU Heath, Indiana Repertory Theater, L-3 Stratis, Legal Aid Society, Senator Richard Lugar, Hotspot Microvascular Imaging, Indianapolis Children's Museum, NCAA, Eli Lilly, and IBM, just to name a few.

Since July 2016 we have tried to live stream a monthly meeting to our customers. We originally started with Google Hangouts / YouTube. It was difficult to coordinate and set up each month and we never suceeded. In December, we decided to buy all new equipment and purchase a USTREAM account. We followed their instructions for the type of equipment to buy, and also purchased USTREAM Producer. Last month I traveled to Greensboro, NC for our monthly meeting. I tested the WI-FI connection which indicated well over 50MPS. We started the Live Stream and within 3 minutes, it crashed. We tried over and over to restart and each time, we lost the connection. USTREAM will not help and just sends me links to their knowledge base to read. I think we are very close to having a live streaming event up and running, I just don't know how to configure everything. My guess is that their default broadcast settings are too high, or suck up too much bandwidth for the WI-FI connection to keep up. We don't need high def, we just need a live stream video that can be seen and heard. I am hoping someone here can lean in to see what I am doing wrong and tweak my set-up. Or, offer some suggestions.
Is there a consutling firm or a service that can help us? I am scheduled to do another Live Streaming meeting on 2-23 and need help soon! I cannot afford to blow this again...
Thank you,
Rob Caldwell

A sports car is a vehicle designed to provide high performance and look good on the road. With stylish aerodynamic body designs, lightweight frames, and powerful engines, sports cars provide drivers with speed and maneuverability. Though originally inspired by racing vehicles, many of today's sports models are well-appointed luxury cars as well.
About Sports Cars
British manufacturers were responsible for two of the most reliable early sports models. Austin produced the Austin 7 which, by the mid-1930s had evolved into a dependable and popular sports model. In the early 1960s, MG introduced the Midget, a small, fast, two-seater convertible that eventually defined what a convertible roadsters was for decades.
The first American sports cars to catch on emerged after World War II. The Chevrolet Corvette, introduced in 1953, and the Ford Thunderbird, introduced in 1955, defined the early American sports car. In the 1960s, U.S. automakers introduced a host of sports models such as the (now discontinued) Pontiac GTO and Firebird, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, and Shelby Cobra.
European automakers also continued to excel at producing compact, speedy roadsters that could corner better than their American counterparts. These included models such as the Porsche 911, Jaguar XK, and the Mercedes SL convertible. Meanwhile, Italian manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini produced upmarket sports models that provided even more power than American muscle cars and had the maneuverability of many European roadsters.
Today's sports car market is diverse and competitive. The Japanese automakers, who are usually considered preoccupied with economy class cars, eventually came out with models such as the Nissan 370Z and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
Sports Car Variations
Sport sedans, on the other hand, are larger than compact and midsize models. Many of these models are four-doors. Frequently, sports sedans have plush interiors with all the extras and add-ons one would expect in a luxury vehicle. Many vehicles in this category overlap with what could be considered compact executive cars or sportier versions of family sedans.
The muscle car is another variety of sports car. These models are typically American-made and equipped with powerful V-8 engines. Most models are two-door coupes. While they may not be designed to corner as well as Japanese or European sports models, muscle cars make up for it with speed, raw power (especially in a straight line), and style.
Supercars are ultra high-end sports cars designed with maximum performance and style in mind. Cars in this class are very fast, highly maneuverable, and very expensive. Examples of supercar models include the Ferrari 599, Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin DBS Coupe, and Lamborghini Gallardo.
Sports Car Brands
German manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi produce many of the top-selling sports models in the U.S. and Europe. Frequently, sports models released by European carmakers such as the BMW 760Li, Audi A8, or Volvo S60, are also considered luxury cars.
Japanese automakers are also responsible for several of today's best-selling sports models, such as the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Nissan's 370Z and GT-R.
Who Drives Sports Cars?
Sports models are ideal for drivers who crave style, speed, and high-performance. Younger drivers may opt for more affordable versions of sports cars that offer power with less luxury. Older drivers who can afford higher price tags and desire a more comfortable ride often choose luxury sports cars. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Aston-Martins are primarily owned by the rich celebrities.

No. 64; Updated February 2013
Over 500,000 children in the U.S. currently reside in some form of foster care. Placements in foster care have dramatically increased over the past 10 years. Despite the increasing numbers, children in foster care and foster parents are mostly invisible in communities and often lack many needed supports and resources. In situations of abuse and neglect, children may be removed from their parents' home by a child welfare agency and placed in foster care. Other reasons for foster placement include severe behavioral problems in the child and/or a variety of parental problems, such as abandonment, illness (physical or emotional), incarceration, AIDS, alcohol/substance abuse, and death.
African-American children make up approximately two thirds of the foster care population and remain in care longer. Two out of three children who enter foster care are reunited with their birth parents within two years. A significant number, however, can spend long periods of time in care awaiting adoption or other permanent arrangement. Making decisions about the future for a child in foster care is called Apermanency planning. Options include: returning the child to his/her birth parents; termination of parental rights (a formal legal procedure) to be followed, hopefully, by adoption; or long-term care with foster parents or relatives. Most states encourage efforts to provide the birth parents with support and needed services (e.g. mental health or drug/alcohol treatment, parent skills, training and assistance with child care and/or adequate housing) so their child can be returned to them. When parental rights have been terminated by the court, most states will try to place children with relatives (kinship foster care or relative placement) which may lead to adoption by the relative.
Being removed from their home and placed in foster care is a difficult and stressful experience for any child. Many of these children have suffered some form of serious abuse or neglect. About 30% of children in foster care have severe emotional, behavioral, or developmental problems. Physical health problems are also common. Most children, however, show remarkable resiliency and determination to go on with their lives. Children in foster care often struggle with the following issues:
Foster parents open their homes and hearts to children in need of temporary care, a task both rewarding and difficult. Unfortunately, there has been a decrease in the number of foster parents (non-relative) available to care for children over the past 10 years. This results in larger numbers of children remaining in institutional settings. The number of relative caregivers (Akinship foster care), however, has increased. Reimbursement rates for foster parents are lower in most states than the true costs of providing routine care for the child. Important challenges for foster parents include:
Children in foster care who have emotional or behavioral problems may be referred for a psychiatric evaluation. Some child and adolescent psychiatrists provide consultation to Juvenile/Family Courts and child welfare agencies. Child and adolescent psychiatrists also provide comprehensive evaluations including diagnosis and the development of treatment plans. They also provide direct treatment (e.g. psychotherapy, family therapy, psychiatric medication) to a child. Children in foster care have special and complex needs which are best addressed by a coordinated team which usually includes the birth parents, foster parents, mental health professionals (including child and adolescent psychiatrists) and child welfare staff.

All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but a number of modifications were made at the traditional opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.'

BRISTOL — At a selectboard meeting Monday, town officials in Bristol were tallying up the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, exploring plans for more infrastructure repairs and discussing how much help they could get from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"All the roads are back open and we're working with FEMA to put in all of our costs," said Chairman Joel Bouvier.
But exactly what those costs will add up to is still unknown.

First monetary policy statement on Friday by RBI chief Rajan. New Reserve Bank of India chief Raghuram Rajan makes his first monetary policy statement on Friday with expectations he may scale back some of the emergency measures that have helped the rupee bounce from a record low. But in a reflection of the policy challenges faced by the former IMF chief economist who has been dubbed "The Guv" by the Indian media, Rajan is likely to strike a hawkish tone on inflation.
With price pressures rising but economic growth running at a decade low, Rajan must find a fine balance in central bank policies to support economic activity without adding fuel to inflation and giving investors fresh reason to sell the currency.
"There is a change of guard, so we don't know what the flavour will be, but Rajan is likely to be hawkish and reiterate the importance of low and stable inflation for sustained economic recovery," said Rajeev Malik, senior economist at CLSA in Singapore.
Famed for predicting the global financial crisis, Rajan took office at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on September 4 as India was confronting its biggest economic crisis since 1991 and wowed central bank-watchers with an action plan on his first day.
Since hitting a record low on August 28, marking up losses of about 20 percent for the year, the rupee has strengthened by 9 percent.
Rajan, 50, pushed back his maiden policy review by two days and will now follow the pivotal meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve, which later on Wednesday is widely expected to announce a winding down of its extraordinary monetary stimulus.
Investor concern that India and other emerging markets will see reduced capital inflows once the Fed trims its stimulus programme has been a major factor in the rupee's slump. India was seen as more vulnerable than many emerging markets because it is running hefty current account and fiscal deficits.
Absent shock waves from the Fed meeting, economists expect at most a partial rollback on Friday of the slate of measures implemented by Rajan and his predecessor to support the rupee, which had the side affect of stifling credit.
With wholesale inflation at a six-month high in August, he is likely to keep the repo rate, the RBI's official policy rate, on hold at 7.25 percent.
Some economists expect Rajan to build the case for shifting the central bank's key inflation measure to the consumer price index from the wholesale price index.
That would put India in tune with other major economies but would also reinforce a near-term hawkish stance given that consumer inflation has been consistently high, registering 9.52 percent in August.
In his first-day press conference, Rajan spoke of the need for communication and a "clear framework" as to where the central bank is headed.
"We need a more comprehensive policy statement from the RBI underlining the outlook on inflation and guidance around the future of monetary policy framework, especially with regards to inflation targeting," said Gaurav Kapur, senior economist at Royal Bank of Scotland.
Rajan is widely expected to leave the marginal standing facility (MSF) unchanged, a Reuters poll shows. The overnight rate is generally viewed as the central bank's effective policy rate now, since it is the major interest rate tool being used to support the rupee. The central bank jacked it up by 200 basis points in July to 10.25 percent so that it stood 300 basis points above the official policy repo rate, aiming to tighten market liquidity and make it more expensive to speculate against the rupee.
Still, A. Prasanna, economist at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership Ltd in Mumbai, said it was a 50/50 call as to whether Rajan cuts the MSF to 9.25 percent.
"If the governor cuts MSF he wouldn't want to give an impression that it is the start of further cuts or that we will go back to 7.25 percent and so on. Thus he has to guide markets that 7.25 percent is not coming back soon and further easing will be calibrated and data-dependent," he said.
Several economists expect Rajan to reverse some of the other rupee-supporting steps.
He might relax a requirement that banks meet 99 percent of their cash reserve ratio on a daily basis. The minimum was increased from 70 percent previously, which drained liquidity from money markets but also choked off credit.
Rajan took over at the RBI with what many observers warned were impossibly high expectations given the difficulty of revitalising an economy whose record-high current account deficit makes it especially vulnerable to an exodus of foreign fund flows, especially if the Fed tapers its stimulus programme.
Additionally, the weak coalition government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has had difficulty pushing through policy reforms, and with national elections due by May, little economic reform is expected in the near term.
Several RBI-watchers said the rupee, at 63.25 to the dollar on Wednesday, is not yet out of the woods and that it would be premature to wind back significantly the support measures

November 6, 2013 + On Relations with One's Neighbors, Part 1
by St. Ambrose, Elder of Optina, translated from Optinskii Tsvetnik: Izrecheniia prepodobnykh starttsev Optinskikh (Moscow: St. Tikhon's Orthodox University, 2008), 221-228, www.pravmir.com/on-relations-with-ones-neighbors/.
On Relations with One's Neighbors, Part 2
1. The Lord nowhere wishes to compel man against his will, but everywhere makes use of our good will; it is through their own will that people are either good or evil. Therefore it is in vain that we accuse those living with us and surrounding us of hindering and impeding, as it were, our salvation or our spiritual perfection.
2. We receive profit from people only when we do not condemn them.
3. You complain about people's unfairness in relation to you. But if you are striving to reign with Christ the Lord, then have a look at Him, how He acted towards the enemies surrounding Him who were demanding His death. It appears that He never complained about how His enemies behaved unfairly towards Him but, in all the horrible afflictions brought upon Him by His enemies, He saw only the will of His Heavenly Father.
4. You are upset that everyone is trying to humiliate you. If they are trying to humiliate you, that means they want to humble you; and you yourself are asking God for humility. Then why, after all this, do you let people upset?
5. Instruction and edification for one's own life should be taken more from the example of Christ the Savior than from the example of people, in whom it is not possible to find full perfection, due to human weakness. Therefore we should not be upset, under a seemingly good pretext, when certain people do not give us the edifying example that we would have liked.
6. The Lord has the power to protect and defend those forcing themselves to live according to His holy commandments, if only they are not being careless in striving for mutual peace. Then the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, and joy in life is found in mutual harmony, and every good success is achieved through peace according to God.
7. Seeing someone's unfair action, rather than become irritated out of resentment, you must use wisdom to attain your purpose – if not in everything, then at least in that which is most important, or in whatever is possible.
8. Denunciations should take the middle way: one should neither wholly trust them nor entirely reject them, but await how the matter turns out.
9. We should not think that we can make somebody happy or successful. This belongs only to God and a person's own will, if he abides prudently before his Creator.
St. Paul the Confessor, Archbishop of Constantinople
Troparion, Tone 3
For confessing the divine faith, among her priests the Church has shown you to be another Paul. Abel cries out to the Lord together with you, as does the righteous blood of Zachariah. Venerable father, entreat Christ God to grant us His great mercy.
Kontakion, Tone 4
Paul, you shone on the earth like a star of heavenly splendor; now you enlighten the universal Church for which you suffered, for you laid down your life, and your blood cries out to the Lord like that of Zachariah and Abel.

So baby artichokes finally arrived back in our market this week but I wanted to do something with parsnips. I ended up with both in a little braised veg dish to go with a pork roast.
Sauteed up an onion and some garlic
tossed in a 1lb of peeled, cut, cored parsnip pieces, a couple of chopped up carrots, and a dozen baby artichokes (cleaned, trimmed, and halved)
Added a cup of vinho verde, covered and simmered until just about tender and most of the wine was evaporated
Tossed them in the 425 oven in a separate pan from the pork roast for about 15mins
After removing the pork roast from the pan, degreased the drippings, and poured them over the veg. Not bad.

Howard James, 63, is the president of Tea Country, a local company that provides gourmet tea and other tea-related products such as tea ware, tea pots, strainers, etc. Tea Country's tea room is located in East Oak Lane at 6722 Old York Rd. In addition to being a tea shop, Tea Country provides tea catering, fund-raising for churches, schools and other non-profit organizations, as well as internet services. If that weren't enough, those interested in learning more can take an introductory tea class that Howard will be conducting for Mt. Airy Learning Tree on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at 6722 Old York Rd.
Howard, who is also an East Oak Lane resident, didn't always use to be the tea maven that he is today. "My background is information technology," he explained.
"I was assistant vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank in charge of information technology in the banking supervision department." Early retirement was offered to Howard, so he took advantage of the offer and decided to become an entrepreneur. Howard worked on an MBA project called "The New Venture Project" while at Eastern University in Radnor, in which students select an industry and study it for two years. Howard and his current partner, Richard Miller, selected the beverage industry en route to the world of tea.
"Even more specific than that, it was a niche market, which was the specialty tea industry, which is focused on loose leaf gourmet-type tea, not your Lipton and Bigelow and what's in the tea bags you buy off the grocery shelf. "
James and his original partners — Miller, a native of Liberia, and Duane Higginbotham — decided to take the project out of a college classroom and into the real world in 2001. During their first three years of existence they were a full-fledged e-Commerce business. They branched out to East Oak Lane in 2004, and then the Temple University area in 2007. Due in part to the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009, they left the Temple location.
"The anchor store that was supposed to come in never showed up," said James, citing the economy, the unfortunate lack of help from the city and other factors. Though still recovering from the financial loss of that effort, Howard is still hopeful of bringing a retail enterprise to fruition. He looked into possibly opening a tea room in Chestnut Hill but discovered that the rents were prohibitive. "If I was selling diamonds, it'd be a different story, but I'm selling tea," he said.
Howard is considering opening a tea room in another community with his cousin, Skip Tyree, who owns Avenue Bistro in Mt. Airy. "The tea market is much wider and broader than it use to be," said Howard. "There are so many varieties of blends that are attracting new audiences." That said, Howard has met almost every tea room owner in the Philadelphia area, but he has yet to meet another African American who owns a tea room or coffee shop.
Tea Country's most popular tea is perhaps the herbal infusion of Rooibos, which is very popular because of its health benefits. It has 50% higher antioxidants than green tea. It also doesn't contain caffeine, unlike white, green, black and oolong teas. "It's so high in antioxidants, it helps with cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure," said Howard.
James grew up in North Philadelphia. He has a wife, Karen, a daughter, Keysha, and a son, Trey. Keysha has helped with managing the Temple and East Oak Lane tea room locations. Howard has an associate degree in computer science from Community College of Philadelphia, a bachelor's degree in systems analysis from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in management from Eastern University.

A suspected rubbish or debris fire in a subterranean area on the old Fort MacArthur property in Angels Gate Park drew a large firefighter response early Tuesday morning.
Fires deemed to be in a "confined" area require larger numbers of fire personnel under federal guidelines.
But when more than 50 firefighters arrived in response to the 7:47 a.m. call, it was determined that the space was not confined and the fire was extinguished quickly, said Brian Humphreys, Los Angeles Fire Department public information officer.
The cause of the fire near in the 3200 block of South Gaffey Street was undetermined, Humphreys said.
The property, now a city park, contains subterranean tunnels and underground areas used when it was a military base.

Hugo's Colorado Beer and Spirits doesn't feel like a liquor store. The walls are exposed brick, the shelving is made of gas pipe and scaffolding, and the brand-new wood floor is finished to look like it's been there forever.
The vibe is raw, handmade, unpolished – kind of like the small craft breweries popping up all over Colorado.
That is no accident. Owner Joe-Michael Wright, a Texan transplanted to Colorado, is dedicating his shelves to craft beer and Colorado-made spirits, betting that the buy-local movement and the ascendancy of craft beer will provide a comfortable niche.

Three hundred wins. I thought for sure they would throw him in the pool. But when the final score crackled through the speaker on Tuesday afternoon, nobody celebrated.
I had a moment of doubt. Maybe I'd been misinformed.
I asked the man himself. This is your 300th win, right?
"I guess so," Dave Hanson said with a chuckle. "I don't know."
It was, in fact, the 300th dual-meet win of Dave Hanson's coaching career with the Hendricken swim team. He just wasn't too impressed. His reaction was part humility and part a simple reflection of what really matters to the man who's built Rhode Island's greatest swimming dynasty.
Hanson drives his teams hard. They practice constantly. They push themselves to succeed. They've won 23 consecutive state championships. But even if every one of Hanson's 300 wins was a loss, he wouldn't feel much different about his career.
"To me, success is nice, but I'm more proud of the fact that they grow up to be good young men," Hanson said. "I look at my roster of kids and where they are today and what they're doing – that's what it's all about."
Hanson spent 30 years as a teacher in Cranston. He started coaching swimming with Jimmy Lynch at Cranston West in the 1970's. The Falcons won five state championships in six years.
Hanson has been at Hendricken for 36 years. His teams have won 26 state championships in that span, including the current streak of 23.
The accolades have rolled in for Hanson and the Hawks over the years, but there may not be a better emblem of his years of dedication than Tuesday's win.
"This shows how long he's put his heart and soul into Hendricken swimming," said Andrew Bartolini, a former Hawk.
Bartolini is now a senior at Notre Dame, majoring in civil engineering. Since graduating from Hendricken, he's maintained a connection with the swimming program. He runs a web site for the team and whenever he's home, he swings by the pool to help out.
Home for winter break, Bartolini was there Tuesday. As soon as the meet ended, he posted the news to the Hendricken swimming Facebook page, where the congratulations quickly rolled in.
"It's one of those that's hard to get just because of the sheer time and dedication," Bartolini said. "When you only swim 10 dual meets a year, to get to 300 takes a lot of commitment from both him and the team."
Bartolini's story mirrors that of many former Hawks. He wasn't a star, but he bought into Hanson's plan and helped the team keep its championship streak alive.
He also learned a lot.
"He's been a role model ever since I joined the swim team," Bartolini said. "He's a great mentor. When you think of what you want a coach to be, he embodies that. He pushes you when you need to be pushed and he'll support you when you need to be supported. Just the values and ethics and the way he's gone about it – it's spectacular."
Everybody at Hendricken figured Hanson would get to 300 last week, when the Hawks opened the season against North Kingstown. Hendricken hadn't lost a dual-meet since the 2005-2006 season, so it was a safe assumption. But the Skippers edged the Hawks, winning the last event to grab a narrow victory.
On Tuesday against La Salle, the Hawks wasted no time. They took first and second in each of the first six events and cruised to a 75-19 victory.
When it was over, Hanson received a few congratulatory handshakes, but it was mostly business as usual. He spoke to the team about what was up next and then went into the McDermott Pool office to call in the score.
He likes this team's potential. They're not the strongest group he's ever had, but they're working hard. After last week's loss, they practiced like maniacs.
Whether they have enough to win another championship remains to be seen, but if they don't, it won't be for lack of effort. The same core values that have paved the way for 300 wins and 26 state championships will be instilled every day for the next two months.
Hanson knows they will last much longer. That more than the wins is the real impact.
"I ran into a parent of a kid who was a captain in 1995," Hanson said. "The father said 'Coach, I want to thank you. My son wasn't the best swimmer in the world. But what he learned about dedication and hard work paid off.'"
Hanson will hear more stories like that this weekend, when Hendricken hosts its annual alumni meet. Every year, 20 or 25 former Hawks come back to swim against the current team.
It'll be a chance to reflect – and to celebrate. Hanson said that getting to 300 wins just means he's old. It means much more, of course, and nobody knows it more than those alumni who will be back at the pool this weekend.
They'll salute him, praise him for all he meant to them.
And maybe, finally, someone will throw him in the pool.

James Longenbach and Jim Rader traveled separate roads on their way to developing a profound interest in the same literary figure, Ezra Pound. But by coincidence, or perhaps by fate, their two paths crossed Thursday night.
When Jim Rader '60 decided to do research in the college archives more than 50 years ago, he was a freshman gathering information about early twentieth-century sports teams for speech class. The Indiana native scoured volumes of The Wabash and eventually found a picture of Ezra Pound. Pound – a worldly poet who had a very brief and tumultuous tenure at Wabash, interested Rader, who would spend the next 50 years learning more about the man.
Rader is currently working on a book about Pound. Fifty years after his initial discovery, the current resident of Grand Isle, Vermont, found himself in the Wabash archives once again to tie up loose ends. Rader spent four days in Crawfordsville conducting research, but not all of that time was spent in the archives. He attended a talk by Dr. James Longenbach in Lovell Lecture Room.
Rader has recently found new information on Pound's years at Wabash. "There have been some recent new developments that I can't talk about because I don't have clearance," Rader said. "New documentation has been discovered that put light on Wabash's role in Pound's departure. It's all very exciting."
Longenbach is an American poet and critic. He teaches English at the University of Rochester in New York, and he has authored more than eight books, including Stone Cottage: Pound, Yeats, and Modernism. Dr. Longenbach's talk: Pound at Home: The Crawfordsville State of Mind," coincided with the centennial of the poet's abrupt departure from Wabash College.
"Seventy years after Pound bought the Odyssey [which became the basis for parts of his Cantos], I walked into a bookstore in Hartford, Connecticut in the fall of 1978," Longenbach said. "And there on the used book table just into the door was a copy of the Cantos of Ezra Pound. A big, thick, expensive book, and the price was a dollar. I heard enough about Pound to know that I ought to know more. I snatched the book. Laid down a dollar. And ran out of the store."
What Longenbach knew of Pound was probably what most people know about Pound. He was a poet with a dynamic personality, born in Idaho and died in Venice. He was hired by Wabash President George McIntosh to teach Spanish and German and was known for smoking cigarettes, missing chapel, donning his very own style of dress, and holding soirees.
However, Pound is most popularly known for a series of scandals, the first surrounding the presence of a female/male impersonator (part of a larger group of vaudevillians) in his Washington street rooming house. The second incident, as recounted in Wabash College: The First Hundred Years, surrounds the presence of another woman in Pound's new residence on South Grant Ave. He was dismissed February 14, 1908, shortly after his landlady told the president and a number of trustees about the incident.
According to Longenbach, the popular legend of Pound often centers around a creative and flamboyant artist forced from the college by the narrow-minded conventions of small-town America. His relocation to Europe, Longenbach continued, freed him to do the great things he was meant to do. Longenbach does not endorse that conjecture. Pound was forced out of a number of places, not having succeeded in transforming them into the cultural capitals he desired, including London, Paris, and Venice.
"The romantic poet Percy Shelley said famously that poets can be unacknowledged legislators of their time," Longenbach said. "And Pound said that poets ought to be acknowledged legislators. There is something weirdly narcissistic but also something weirdly, charmingly noble about this ambition. It forced Pound to think of himself as someone stuck in a world that refused to acknowledge his power to make the world a better place, someone eternally exiled from the cultural richness to which he also aspired. One by one, every place where Pound lived disappointed him by refusing his effort to transform that place to the cultural capital it deserved to be."
In that respect, Pound's brief tenure at Wabash College was not an aberration, Longenbach argued. Instead, it was the type of place and state of mind Pound required to write the poetry he leaves his fans today. He would replicate the type of exile he experienced by leaving Wabash in other places. From his Canto 80, Longenbach recounted, Pound writes he left America with $80, England with a letter from Thomas Hardy, and Italy with one eucalyptus pip.
Rader hopes his book will add new twists to Pouind's story. "I've always seen the book as much about Wabash as about Pound," the 1960 graduate said. "I hope in my book to give the reader a feel for how Wabash was and how Crawfordsville was as much as who Pound was and what happened to him here.
"It's a fascinating story in it's own right. I got hooked on it fifty years ago. And I've discovered that it's an even more complex story than I expected in the beginning. And I think if it's told well it'll be a very interesting read."
Like William Butler Yeats, Pound wanted to be "a specialist in Renaissances," said Longenbach. "And that aspiration required places where Pound felt "homesick for a home that did not yet exist."
Anytime Pound was at odds with his surrounding, he was home: that's Crawfordsville state of mind.
"There's something chilling about the artist who never changes, who continually recreates the terms of his own failure so that he might enjoy the strange species of success and notoriety," said Longenbach. "Over time the logic isolated Pound from the world that he also wanted to change. Crawfordsville, London, Paris, Ropollo, Pound never lived in exile. He lived at home."

We are going to completely dominate this game.
The last time we played them, RW was still seeing new defensive formations and growing bit by bit. He now has seen just about everything multiple times. Couple that with his running ability and strong arm and that is something SF has NOT seen.
RW's escape ability has made Marshawn a different runner as well. He is breaking off larger runs with fewer carries because of RW. We are presenting a nightmare for defenders.
The same old cliches' could be applied here like "stop the run" or get the pass rush going but we are at home and consider all the drops in the last game in SF. And still, the final score was 13-6.
I'm calling it right here. Tonight, we kick the living shit out of SF on national TV.

For the past several years, the farmland values have steadily chugged upward. In fact, USDA said in 2012 that farm real estate values increased nearly 11% from 2011. So, what will be the trend this year? A recent Farm Journal Pulse asked: What are your expectations for farmland values during 2013? Here's a breakdown of the results: Increase: 34% Decrease: 18% Stay the same: 48% Almost half of the 1,500 respondents expect farmland values to stay the same, while 34% expect them to increase. Less than 20% expect values to decrease.

Burnett, Phils try to stay positive after Jays tee off
TORONTO -- The Phillies quietly played their 20,000th game in franchise history Thursday night at Rogers Centre.
They suffered their 10,480th loss in a 12-6 defeat to the Blue Jays.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- The Phillies quietly played their 20,000th game in franchise history Thursday night at Rogers Centre.
They suffered their 10,480th loss in a 12-6 defeat to the Blue Jays.View Full Game Coverage
It will not take long for the details from this loss to be forgotten, but in the short term, the Phillies must grapple with the fact that they have lost four consecutive games to the Blue Jays to fall to 15-18. They have not been more than three games under .500 this season, which means they must beat the Mets on Friday at Citi Field to avoid a season's low point.
"Positive thoughts," A.J. Burnett preached outside the visitors' clubhouse. "Find a way to find some positives. It's a good group in there."
But it has been a painfully frustrating week for the Phillies, who have a healthy roster for the first time in more than two years. The organization entered the season with a mantra: If the players are healthy, they should win.
So far, that has not happened. The Phillies share nearly identical records through 33 games with the 2012 and 2013 teams.
The 2012 Phillies finished 81-81, while the 2013 Phillies finished 73-89.
"The execution and the fundamentals, we weren't sound at all in the four games," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said.
A lack of focus?
"I think it's a momentum thing, myself," he said. "It goes to being down in games on the scoreboard, trying to battle back and not having much action on the offensive side."
The Blue Jays hit 11 home runs in the four-game series, with the first two at Citizens Bank Park and the last two at Rogers Centre. The Phillies have hit just 11 home runs in their last 20 games, dating to April 16.
In between Blue Jays blasts, the Phillies made countless lapses on the field, including Thursday. Asked about an example of one of his team's difficulties, Sandberg said, "There are numerous things. Numerous things."
Not even Burnett could stop the slide. He has been one of the team's few bright spots this season, allowing just three earned runs in 27 2/3 innings in his previous four starts for an 0.98 ERA. But he allowed nine hits, seven runs (six earned), two walks and three home runs in six innings.
Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion crushed a 1-1 fastball to left field for a solo home run to tie the game in the second inning. Juan Francisco followed with a double to left field. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout to Ryan Howard to make it 2-1. Colby Rasmus followed with a home run to right field to hand the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead.
"You want to come in, stop the bleeding and set the tone, but it wasn't there," Burnett said. "It's one of those series you have to put behind you. We have a game tomorrow, and we'll move forward. Everybody is pulling for each other. Nobody is getting upset. It's just a matter of clicking at the same time."
The Blue Jays scored another run in the third to make it 4-1. Meanwhile, Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey did not break. The Phillies loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth, but Freddy Galvis grounded out to end the inning.
The Phillies scored a run in the fifth to cut the lead to 4-2 when Tony Gwynn Jr. walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on Jimmy Rollins' single to right. With Howard on first base with two outs, Marlon Byrd crushed a ball just a few inches below the top of the center-field wall. Howard, who hit a two-run homer in the ninth, left at the crack of the bat, but could only get to third.
Domonic Brown followed and struck out swinging to end the inning.
The Blue Jays piled on, outscoring the Phillies in the series, 31-11. They added a run in the fifth and two more runs in the sixth when Adam Lind hit a two-run home run to make it 7-2. The Blue Jays hit a pair of homers against Luis Garcia in the seventh.
"Ryno was pretty accurate," Chase Utley said. "We didn't play solid baseball. Made some mistakes in the field and it cost us. At this point, we got to put these games behind us and start fresh tomorrow."
Sandberg said the lapses will be addressed with his players.
"We'll talk," he said. "We'll talk."

Alex has now helped me find two homes. The first was in 2014, when I was first moving to Chicago with two other people and had zero understanding of the neighborhoods. He found us an incredible place and answered all of my newbee Chicago renter questions. Then this year, he helped me buy my first property in Lincoln Park. This was for obvious reasons a much bigger decision and he was there every step of the way. I can be known to be a bit persistent, and Alex was great about it -- texting and calling me about any questions I had, making honest recommendations and even entertaining both my parents and boyfriends parents who needless to say had lots of questions and concerns. He found us a great deal, negotiated, walked through the 3 hour home inspection and so much more. I also am not one to make recommendations, but Alex was too great to not recommend. And from there, he ended up helping at least 2 of my friends find places to rent in the city. Aside from being my go-to realtor, he is a really great guy. He is super sincere and honest, not to mention his great sense of humor. As I have before, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a no BS, fun and knowledgeable apartment or condo professional.
Meg Avril
I am so happy we used Jon as our real estate broker for selling our condo. We truly enjoyed working with him. He was extremely reliable, personable, and professional. His guidance and advice on selling our condo was spot on, and from our first showing through our closing he kept us informed every step of the way. We were so impressed that he was able to sell our condo within a month! We would recommend Jon to anyone looking for a broker. His knowledge, dedication, and expertise certainly set him apart from others!
Priya Stemler
She is professional and enthusiastic when dealing with me as a client. I had a home listed for 3 months with very few showings, but after listing with Nycholle there was a contract in a little over 2 weeks! She printed flyers and conducted open houses and did not let the property just "sit" waiting for someone to see it. I would truly recommend this wonderful Realtor.
Jen is the best! We first met her when we were looking for an apartment rental in 2013 for my partner, who was relocating for grad school. We came in from CA for a weekend and needed to find a place ASAP. She was professional, friendly, and made sure to get us exactly what we wanted at our preferred price point. Jen also educated us on Chicago life, which was an added bonus. We knew then that we'd be working with her again. Fast forward to late 2015, and we contacted Jen again. This time we were looking to buy a condo or buy into a co-op. Again, Jen was amazing! She listened, did her homework, had our best interests in ind, coached us when we needed it, provided professional resources, the list goes on. Her professionalism, availability, graciousness, and sense of humor remained consistent. IN SPITE of very challenging circumstances (an out of state contingency, an unprofessional seller/agent, rough attorney review, stressful co-op review). Jen is not only an outstanding broker, she goes above and beyond "the deal" and provides an experience. If you're in the market to buy, call Jen. Thanks to Jen Bielarz, we are enjoying our new life in Chicago.
Jose Santiago
My Fiance and I started our home search in September 2015 and initially started to search on our own. We didn't have much luck and used a couple of agents with the same result. But when we met Owen we immediately noticed a difference. He met with us and asked us specific questions about what we were looking for. This was very important to us because we were looking for something to meet our specific needs. Owen set up a search for us and only took us to view places that fit our wants. What we appreciated most was his candid honesty about what he thought about the properties. this was very helpful to us. We appreciated that he prioritized us throughout the process. we finally found the home we wanted and put in an offer. Owen gave us some valuable input throughout the negotiating process and that is something we really valued, especially as first time home buyers. We closed on the place last week and we couldn't be happier. We would not hesitate to recommend Owen as an agent. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful. These are qualities that you want in your real estate agent.
I use Fulton Grace as a landlord and I can't stress how this team (Especially Aaron Shadrick) goes above and beyond every day to make sure our tenants are happy, we keep costs down and that the property is kept in great condition. It has been 3 months since we hired FGR and have already had to deal with burst pipes and broken furnaces and Aaron was able to get every issue sorted quickly, collect multiple estimates and be willing to go above and beyond to keep things running smoothly.
Most importantly the tenants have been just as happy with their service as when we lived in the building.
Thanks Aaron and Fulton Grace.
Chris J.
A close friend of mine referred me to Fulton Grace when I needed help in managing my 4 unit walk up property in Noble Square. I could not have been happier with Desmond! I was getting very busy with work and wasn't able to tend to my tenants in a timely manner. My building was also built around 1875 so there was always something that needed attention.
Desmond and his team were a pleasure to deal with. From the limited encounters I had with my tenants after handing the building over, the tenants were very happy with the job these guys were doing. The place where I was very impressed was when it came to repairs. They have a network of contractors that provide quality work at a very reasonable price. I'll definitely be using these guys the next time I need a property manager in the Chicago area.
Rohan V.
I am private investor with 3 buildings. Sometimes property management companies can't be bothered to take care of clients with small portfolios and I have had some rough experiences.
Fulton Grace and specifically Desmond have given me my peace of mind back. When I was looking to replace my property management company I asked several agents and no one would even give a recommendation because most property management companies don't take care of things like they should. I found Fulton Grace because of the numerous positive Yelp reviews and they have been everything I'd been seeking. The tenants are happy, the responses are quick and I know that when a tenant or I ask for something it will be addressed without having to ask again. Which is 100% different than my previous experiences with property management companies. Desmond is a complete professional and a dedicated business partner.
Craig S.
I have been renting in the city for the last 7 years and I just wanted to say this is by far the best experience I have had. Jamie Kraut (our building manager) has gone above and beyond every year for us. We started out with the company 3 years ago and she is the reason we continue to renew our lease year after year! Hands down the best manager I have ever had. There has been 0 hassle over the last 3 years. Everything that needs to be repaired is taken care of the same week. Incredibly understanding and patient manager! If I could give above 5 stars I would. Thank you for everything!!
Octavian H.
I recently moved out of town and decided to rent my Lincoln Park condo, and I couldn't be happier with the service I've received from Kim, my property manager at Fulton Grace. She has great market knowledge and is a strategic partner in leasing. And even when she was out, as associate coordinated a maintenance/repair issue perfectly. My neighbors even let me know how impressed they were with "the management company staff"! It's great knowing that I don't have to worry about a thing--really takes the stress off. Am going into second year and really appreciate their service. Highly recommend.

As August swings into view, the news from Bordeaux is of temperatures of 40 C. and national fears by the French government of a repeat performance of 2003's apalling death toll among old people. Drought is a problem, of course, as it was in 2003, (and irrigation is still illegal), and there are already quiet whispers that this could be yet another warm dry year, producing the kind of rich, intense wines that have caught the fancy of the US critics in 2003 and 2005. Another great year would be welcome of course - though it's worth noting that 2001 and 2004 were both pretty good, in their leaner, more traditional ways - but it would raise some interesting questions about the prices that have been asked for the 2005s. The buzz from New York - where such things are ultimately decided - is that some of the people who said they wanted top 2005s at any price are balking at the premium those wines finally carried. decanter.com reported that retailers such as Sam's in Chicago, Federal Wine & Spirits, in Boston', McCarthy and Schiering in Seattle and the Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York have all seen customers going cold on cost of the new vintage and that none of these merchants is enthusiastic about buying more than their initial allocation. One of the trends of this vintage seems to be that the prople who have been buying the top wines are super-rich individuals who are new to the market. Traditional first growth buyers have traded down to second growths and even lower on the ladder.
So, the obvious question is how ready these new buyers will be to go on buying a succession of highly priced "historic" vintages. Once the goose has been laying golden eggs on a daily basis, eggs however glittery can lose their appeal...
