Olympian letter writer Ron Czikall wants to return Republicans to power so they can repeal "Obamacare." Republicans agree we need reform, but insist they can do it better. Just how has been a closely guarded secret for the past two years.
Polls have found a majority of Americans are opposed to the health care reform plan, but they support most of the individual provisions of the plan. That contradiction gives Republican's a tricky assignment.
A majority of Americans want insurance exchanges so they can shop for competitive rates; they believe young people should to be able to remain on their family's health plan to age 26. They don't think insurance companies should get away with dropping people when they get sick, denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, denying legitimate claims, and they are overwhelming in favor of a cap on insurance company profits as a means of reining in cost of premiums.
Many people don't like the mandate that everyone carry health insurance. However, hospital emergency rooms are mandated to provide care to those who can't pay.
That cost is shifted to the hospital's paying patients, which drives up hospital bills and insurance premiums for paying patients. Like it or not, it will cost us, one way or another.
Mandating health insurance for everyone is probably the best way to make health care available to everyone, and to fairly distribute its cost. Unless, of course, Republicans can come up with better ideas.

The rumours continue to suggest that Apple will abandon its long-held strategy of releasing a single new iPhone model later this year. A new report by the China Times suggests that Apple will release not one but three different models later this year (if I read the Google translation correctly). Alongside the Apple iPhone 5S, we could see a new iPhone handset codenamed "iPhone Math" as well as a third model that would follow somewhat later.
Details are slim on the "iPhone Math" but it will reportedly sport a 4.8-inch display to allow Apple to take on other devices in the phablet space. It should also have an 8MP camera with lenses from Largan Precision. It should launch alongside the iPhone 5S this summer.
Component shipments are set to start in March with production to follow in late April to prepare for the launch. Foxconn looks set to the key manufacturer for both devices.
A third iPhone model, this one sporting a 12MP camera, would follow in the latter part of the year in time for the holiday season.
The report makes no specific mention of a cheaper iPhone model although past rumours have hinted that it would have a larger display. Could the "iPhone Math" be that cheaper model?
Confused? You're not the only one. For now, take all these rumours with a pinch or two of salt.

Find the Best Coupon Code Sites to Help You Save Loads of Cash
The use of online coupons provides a truly unique opportunity for shoppers to save big.Coupon codes allow consumers to obtain substantial discounts on goods or services offered on a particular website. These codes offer the same discounts as the customary paper coupon without the frustration of those nasty paper cuts and paper clippings.
The present economic downturn, is pushing a vast majority of shoppers to search for deals and discounts in order to get decent cuts on their expenditures. Additionally, online businesses are well aware of the innumerable benefits provided by coupon codes. A company can use coupon codes to lure users to their website, enhance sales or even promote a new offer.
With the rise of online shopping, the use of coupon codes has become widely recognized as an excellent way to save loads of money on purchases. Nowadays, free online coupons are available for excellent deals in nearly everything available at any moment of the year including electronics, booking flights, groceries, clothes, vacation packages, renting cars and other things.
How to Achieve Maximum Success with Codes
While you can find coupon codes or the business' official site; the retailer's website is not where great discounts are found. There are Internet sites called coupon sites that list the current valid coupons for a selection of merchants and products classified in categories. Some offers are available only on the coupon sites and cannot be found elsewhere, including the merchant's website.
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Stores? This May Help
When searching for a great deal, there are literally thousands of websites which you can potentially explore. Currently, there are numerous coupon websites and more and more people are cashing on them. You should always remember that each coupon code site is different from the other. Therefore, when you want to save significantly on your online purchases, it is imperative that you use the best coupon website.
A good coupon code site will be committed to serving up the best deals on products and services and delivering them directly to consumers as soon as they come about. Also, using a coupon site with several check-in programs rewards for consumers for checking in using different social media sites is a wise decision.
It does not matter if you are a business owner who wants to utilize coupons as part of your marketing strategy or a consumer looking to save on online purchases; it is essential that you find the best coupon code website.
A great number of coupon code websites require some form of revenue share from merchants who use their services. The trick to finding the best coupon site is to choose one that offers discounted fees. Also, you should try to avoid websites that ask for a cut of the purchase price for products and rather consider those that offer their services at a flat fee.

A 22-year-old man was fatally shot Tuesday evening on the South Side in the city's Fuller Park neighborhood, officials said.
Witnesses told police that at about 6:30 p.m. they saw a group of males walk into a gangway on the 5500 block of South Princeton Avenue and soon after heard gunshots. The group reemerged, then got into a van and fled south from the scene.
The victim was identified as Malik Dunlap of the 1300 block of West 98th Place, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was pronounced dead at 9:35 p.m. at the Stein Institute.
Earlier Tuesday evening, another 22-year-old man was shot on the Far South Side in the city's West Pullman neighborhood.
That shooting happened about 6:21 p.m. on the 300 block of West 116th Street, police said.
Preliminary reports stated the man was standing on the street when a red Ford Taurus pulled up and the front-seat passenger and rear right-seat passenger fired shots. The man was struck in the knee and was taken in good condition to Roseland Community Hospital, police said.

PACC is a concept and brand for fashion friend duo, Peter Curti and Alexis Cozza. There fashion based blog is very soon to be launched. A clothing line for the duo is even in the works and is due out mid Winter. The blog involving there advice and overall love for fashion will focus mostly on PC & AC's special moments from there everyday lives, fashion, and there friendship. what is really the PACC brand...

G A P. Alexis doodles the letter C by the A in G A P, Peter then writes the letter C for his last name Curti next to the letter P in the same word G A P.
'G A-(c) P-(c)' - They arranged the letters around they created the name PACC an acronym for
P(peter). A(alexis). C(curti). C(cozza).
The initials of there names put together then formed what they call PACC, representing there friendship and the pack('pacc') they made for life.
From that day on they dubbed there nicknames for each other 'PACC'. They use the word for almost anything, mostly involving there tight bond and spacial friendship they share together.

Are my eyes deceiving me? I haven't written anything since Jan 31!!??
Okay, my 'May resolution' is to try to blog once a week. Wish me luck.
I'll have to try to encapsulate the last 3 months in one brief post. Which essentially explains my brief absence. Kinda.
Work: INSANELY busy for the months of Feb/March. I won't name names (much as I am DYING to, because even I was impressed, and Im rarely impressed!), but I had a short term, time-intense client project in Monaco. It was a lot of hours, in a short period of time, unrealistic deadlines (which I managed to meet regardless) and tremendously successful results which ended up saving my client about 50,000 Euros. Or more. And as an extra 'thank you', the client gifted me their AMAZING Loewe television, which I now need to get 3D glasses for so I can try out the 3D feature!! Hoorah for a job well done!
Health: While I was intensely busy with work, I was also battling one cold after another. Literally sick for 8 weeks straight. I still have ringing in the ears, and my eyes are still pink from the infection. Buddy was also sick half that time. So that made it even more challenging to keep on top of all the work. Fortunately Buddy could come with me a lot of the days, which made him happy.
So you can forgiveme for not having the time, or energy to do a post? In all honesty, even though the workload and health have been so much more manageable for the month of April, I've just been in 'low energy' recovery mode. Not a profitable month for me!!
Weather: Well, I hear that there have been a lot of late season cold and snow in Canada, but we are well into spring here. The jasmine is in full bloom, we've planted the seedlings for our veg and herb garden, and have been out on the terrace in shorts and tshirts. Just love spring in the cote d'azur.
Other than that, things are fab. The season is just starting to get busy — weekends are getting booked up, friends and family are planning visits over the next few months, and we're also looking forward to a week's holiday in Corsica. We'll be hitting the beach soon… but sadly, summer passes in the blink of an eye. But we will enjoy every moment of it!!!
More to follow. Apologies!!

The Baltimore Blast improved to 3-1 with a 9-8 victory over the Philadelphia KiXX Friday night at 1st Mariner Arena. Blast Forward Machel Millwood led all players with three goals on the night.
Millwood scored the first two goals of the game to give the Blast an early 4-0 lead before Anthony Maher scored late in the first quarter to cut the Blast lead to 4-2.
KiXX defender Pat Morris scored the only goal of the second quarter to tie the game at 4-4.
Maher scored again, early in the second half to give Philadelphia its first lead of the night, 6-4. Less than four minutes later, Blast team captain Robbie Aristodemo took advantage of a two-minute penalty to Jeremy Ortiz, scoring a three-point power-play goal to put the Blast back on top, 7-6. Millwood completed his hat trick at the 6:35 mark, extending Baltimore's lead to 9-6 but the KiXX answered again, this time with a Leo Gibson goal at 8:49 to cut it to 9-8.
The fourth quarter was scoreless but featured 17 minutes of penalties, all on the KiXX.
The Blast will play their next two games on the road before returning to 1st Mariner Arena on January 8th and 9th to host Monterrey and Milwaukee, respectively. The team heads to Rockford on the 27th to take on the Rampage in a rematch of the team's only loss of the season, 10-8 on opening night (11/13) and then to Milwaukee for a New Year's Eve match against the Wave.

Article Title
Logologists everywhere were long enamored of the word SUBBOOKKEEPER. For, in simple compact form, it was not only unique in having four double letters, but also these pairs appeared one after another in magnificent progression. Unfortunately, Webster's Second, where the word appeared, has been superseded by Webster's Third, where the word is not. And so SUBBOOKKEEPER has been tossed on the junkpile of obsolete words.

You can't blame the bank for foreclosing and repossessing your home if you fall behind on mortgage payments. Actually, that's not right. You can blame the bank or other lender, given that these banks haven't followed the letter of the law during the home foreclosure process.
And based on Mary Ellen Podmolik's report for the Chicago Tribune, the banks and lenders still aren't doing right by homeowners who've fallen behind on mortgage payments.
Podmolik writes that, as a result, the $25 billion national mortgage foreclosure settlement of Feb. 2012 is being "tweaked" in an effort to force the banks to comply with the 304 standards the banks agreed to when they settled.
Periodic reports published since the settlement show an indication of noncompliance. In other words, the banks are failing to hold up their end of the bargain. Podmolik quotes the Housing and Urban Development secretary's words - "deep and pervasive problems" - in regard to the noncompliance.
To make a long story short: Struggling homeowners looking to stop home foreclosure through loan modification may not get a lot of help from the lenders, despite the supposed saving grace of the $25 billion settlement.

Engineering industry gets on with business.
The first Quarterly Review of the engineering industry for 2017 shows a further improvement in most areas. There is healthy growth in export orders, in particular where a net 30% of businesses are reporting above normal activity.
The QR survey also records a 27% positive return for total orders.
Bryan Buchan, Chief Executive of Scottish Engineering, attributes the dramatic gains in export orders in part to the relative weakness of Sterling.
Similar success is being reported by machine shops: +38%, and mechanical equipment: +10% in their UK orders, and by metal manufacturing: +33% and transport: +50% in their export orders.
Output volume throughout the engineering sector shows a net +14%, and optimism at a net +17% is also showing improvement on the previous improvement reported in the final quarter of 2016.
Looking forward, forecasts for the next three months in UK orders remain positive, with metal manufacturing +11%, and machine shops +13%, maintaining a strong trading position. Output volume in the next quarter is also predicted to be +38% for transport and +10% for metal manufacturing.
Commenting on the sector generally, Bryan said: "After the initial shock of last year's Brexit vote, engineering companies in Scotland have adopted the usual pragmatic approach and buckled down to getting on with business.
"Major areas of concern for all Scottish operations include the revisions in business rates, the relatively unfavourable mid-range personal taxation regiment and the long-awaited set ails of the disbursement of the Apprenticeship Levy takings."
The Guest Writer in this edition of the Review is Will Dowson, the Bank of England's Agent for Scotland, who sees a positive future for the engineering industry in Scotland. He comments: "There is some uncertainty about the post-Brexit landscape, particularly for those companies that rely heavily on international trade, and some investment plans have been affected, which could drag on broth over the coming years.
"It is clear that the UK's new relationship with the EU – and the reforms that it brings about, both at UK levels and here in Scotland – will determine our long-term prosperity."

Six people accused of defrauding N$4 million from a loan scheme of Local Authorities and Utility Services for Namibia retirement fund, that was administered by Alexander Forbes Financial Services in 2007, made their appearance before High Court Judge Nate Ndauendapo this week with one of the victims testifying.
Sharon Desiree Ramann, Hendrik Francisco Davis, Jan Johannes Jansen, Jeremiah Metaatu, Severen Iiyambo and Alta Norma Visser face a total of 265 charges, of which 163 charges are counts of fraud, alternatively theft, and 94 counts of corruption.
Their alleged fraud caused the fund to lose N$4,083 million.
Christophine Mbingeneeko, a former employee at City of Windhoek's traffic department,took the stand yesterday and alleged that her signature had been forged by the accused.
Mbingeneeko took out a loan of N$7,000 with the pension fund to repair her house in 2003, for the repayment of which monthly deductions of N$307 were made from her account as repayment of the loan.
She was later informed she could qualify for a second loan of N$35,000 although she still owed money on her first loan. The loan of N$35,000 was soon approved and she was called to collect her cheque.
"The cheque showed an amount of N$35,907 but I was later informed the loan was for an amount of N$158,670," narrated Mbingeneeko, who resigned from the traffic department in 2008.
She was later informed that she still owed an amount of N$15,000 without any indications what the amount was for. "A deposit slip from a local commercial bank indicated that I deposited N$15,000, which is a lie," Mbingeneeko said, insisting that she never signed that deposit slip.
According to the prosecution, members of the fund were allowed to take out home loans and could qualify for a second loan only if their first loan had been fully paid off or a period of five years had passed since the first loan had been granted.
The State holds that between May 2003 and March 2005 the accused persons had fraudulently and corruptly manipulated home loan facilities intended for members of the Local Authorities and Utility Services for Namibia pension fund.
The accused allegedly through presence informed the members that the money deducted would be used to settle their outstanding loans, but the loans were never paid off, as the accused made false entries to indicate that the loans had indeed been paid off, with the result that pension fund members would be eligible to take out second home loans.
During that period the accused allegedly received corrupt payments meant for the facilitation of the loans. It is alleged that they pocked the illicit proceeds.
Ramann – who is charged in all 265 fraud counts as well as eight corruption charges – and her five co-accused are scheduled to reappear in court today for the continuation of the trial.

The Impact of Proposition 13 on Community Services for California Community Colleges.
Garlock, Jerry C.
Fifty-seven percent (60) of California's community colleges responded to a questionnaire surveying the impact of Proposition 13 cutbacks on the budget and number of full-time employees in the area of community services. For the colleges investigated, the total community services budget was $18,330,616 for 1977-1978 and $9,081,933 for 1978-1979. The average budget per college for these two years was $345,861 and $171,357, a 50.5% reduction. The areas of greatest reduction were art (75% reduction), music (64%), and dance (60%). The two areas of least reduction were short term courses (24.5%) and lecture (41%). Sixteen areas were eliminated, including career information center, center for new operations, chamber music series, child care, family films, library, natural history museum, reading center, satellite campus, site improvement, special events, student center, utilities, weekend library, and the women's center. Four increases, of less than 6% in each case, were identified. The 635 full-time employees for 1977-1978 were reduced to 173 in 1978-1979, a 73% reduction; the full-time equivalent personnel for the two years was reduced from 308 to 163, a 47% reduction. Tables list the specific program budget and personnel figures and appendices contain the questionnaire and lists of the colleges who did and did not respond. (MB)

Pilbara Minerals' 100%-owned Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project, located 120km from Port Hedland in Western Australia's resource-rich Pilbara region, is one of the biggest new lithium ore (spodumene) deposits in the world, with a globally significant hard rock spodumene resource.
The Project is readily accessible by road, with relatively simple access to existing infrastructure (including downstream port facilities) at the existing port of Port Hedland.
Substantial increases in the Global Resource at Pilgangoora have reinforced its status as Australia's premier lithium development Project. The latest Global Resource, as published in January 2017 incorporates all the results of a successful drilling program completed from February 2016 to December 2016, comprise a Global Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource of 156.3 million tonnes grading 1.25% Li2O (lithia) and 138ppm Ta2O5 (tantalite) containing 1.57 million tonnes of lithium oxide and 39 million pounds of Ta2O5.
Click here to view the current Pilgangoora Mineral Resource Estimate.
Future drilling focusing on a number of key zones of mineralisation (unclassified resource inventory) at depth below the Central pegmatites and along strike from the currently defined resource is expected to result in further significant increases in the overall resource inventory well above the current 156.3 million tonnes.
The most recent Ore Reserve estimate, published in June 2017, comprises a Proved and Probable Ore Reserve of 80.3 million tonnes grading 1.27% Li2O (lithia) and 123ppm Ta2O5 (tantalite) and 1.08% Fe2O3.
Click here to view the current Pilgangoora Ore Reserve Estimate.
A Septemper 2016 Definitive Feasibility Study confirmed a robust, high margin project with a post-tax Net Present Value of A$709 million and a strong Internal Rate of Return of 38.1%.
Based on the proposed 2 million tonne per annum stand-alone mining and processing operation, the DFS forecast current life-of-mine revenue of A$9.23 billion and Life-Of-Mine Project EBITDA of A$4.22 billion over an estimated 36-year mine life.
Pilbara commenced construction on the Project in January 2017, and is currently targeting commissioning from March 2018.
Over 100% of the projected lithium oxide production from Pilgangoora is already subject to either binding off-take agreements or Memorandums of Understanding with major off-take partners in China, Japan, the Americas and Europe.
In July 2016, Pilbara secured a binding off-take agreement with General Lithium, a leading Chinese supplier of lithium products and materials to the fast-growing lithium-battery industry in China. This off-take agreement is for the supply of 140,000tpa of 6% chemical-grade spodumene concentrate from Q1 2018 for an initial 6-year period, with the option to extend for a further 4 years. This represents over 40% of Pilgangoora's anticipated initial annual output of ~330,000tpa of concentrate (inclusive of technical grade spodumene), from the Phase 1 project.
In May 2017, Pilbara also secured a long-term binding off-take agreement with Ganfeng Lithium, one of China's largest integrated lithium producers, with a total capacity of around 30,000 tonnes per annum of LCE (lithium carbon equivalent). Key aspects of the agreement include the supply of 160,000 tonnes per annum of chemical-grade spodumene over an initial term of 10-years, with two 5-year options to extend up to a further 10-years.
The ability to manufacture high-value battery-grade lithium products through downstream processing has the potential to deliver significant additional value for Pilbara in the years ahead, with global demand for lithium-ion batteries expected to experience unprecedented growth over the coming decades.
The Board of Pilbara believes this is an important strategic objective to facilitate the Company's further growth.
For the latest updates on development activities at Pilgangoora, please visit our ASX Announcements page.
Mining of four small hard rock tantalum prospects has been undertaken in the area around Pilgangoora, with recorded production taking place from 1947 to 1978. Concentrate production at Pilgangoora up to 1977 is recorded at 33.31 tonnes of tantalite and 13.1 tonnes of tantalite-columbite (Featherstone 2004).
Pilgan Mining continued large-scale mining operations between 1978 and 1982, and then continued by the Pilgangoora Mining Venture from 1992 to 1996. These operations produced approximately 140 tonnes of tantalite concentrates, from an estimated 800,000 bank cubic metres (UBCMU) of screened alluvial and eluvial material.
Since the acquisition of the Pilgangoora Project from Global Advanced Metals in May 2014, Pilbara Minerals have drilled well over 100,000 metres over the prospective 10km strike length of the Project area.

Dr. Marshall is an amazing surgeon. He has great bedside manner. He is very knowledgable and extremely helpful. Dr. Marshall has a great sense of humor and has a very caring personality. As I waited in pre-op I was very nervous, and Dr. Marshall came in and he was able to calm me down. He is very confident and it showed right through. I even had to page him once I was home and he called me back within 5 minutes. Even at the follow up appointments with him he makes sure you are taken care of and he makes you feel important. I would recommend him to anyone and have done so already! His office staff is very helpful as well. They go out of their way to accomodate you. Dr. Marshall changed my life for the better. Thank you Dr. Marshall!
I love Dr. Marshall he is very nice and knows his stuff and I'm happy to have him as my surgeon The office was clean and nice staff was about the business of the patients Future patients should feel at ease talking to Dr. Marshall he has been doing his thing for a long time.
I had laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery done Feb. 9, 2010 by Dr. Marshall. It is now April 2010 and I have lost close to 60 lbs and it feels awesome. I am able to go for daily walks and able to enjoy them. Dr. Marshall is a wonderful surgeon, he has an excellent bedside manner and he takes time for his patients and their families. Saying thank you may not be enough for the way you have helped me already, but again…Thank you so much for helping me to a healthier lifestyle Dr. Marshall!!! :):):) (We need more like you).
I feel incredibly blessed to have Dr. Keith Marshall as my surgeon. From meeting him at the informational seminar, it was clear that this physician was completely committed to the well being of each patient. It is rare to find such an established surgeon take special care to listen to his patient's concerns and address each one. As the pre-surgical process unfolded , I was amazed at how effortless the team made this seem. Dr.Marshall has so much to offer bariatric patients–I feel so fortunate to have had such a positive experience because of this gifted and caring surgeon.
I had a Sleeve done by Dr Keith Marshall 10/07/2011. I cannot tell how how many ways it has changed my life. Dr Marshall has been there all the way for me. From explaining the surgery, being there for my aftercare and then my follow up. My daughter also had a sleeve done by Dr Marshall 10/12/2011. He treats you like a person and is easy to get a hold of if you have questions or concerns. This was important to me especially after surgery. You can page him directly and he calls you back in a timely manner. Have not once regretted my surgery or my choice in Surgeons. His office staff is very caring also
Nov. 20, 2012
Dr. Marshall has my respect. I had The Sleeve 8/10/11, no complications, no pain and he had great bed side manners to boot. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. His office staff is professional and attentive. I am down 90 lbs and I feel great.
April 7, 2012
I had my surgery on February 22, 2011 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Keith Marshall is a fantastic and caring surgeon and the team at the Bariatric Center in Warren are wonderful. Today I would just like to say to Dr. Marshall, I am sending my well wishes and remember ….. walk, walk walk!!!
Thank you so much for everything!
March 20, 2011, Updated: May 27, 2011
I just love Dr. Marshall, he is funny and kind and understanding! Whenever I see him at my follow-ups I call him Skinny Minny because he had the surgery too which I like because he really knows what you're going through and even if he didn't have the surgery he is still a wonderful surgeon. In fact my husband is having the surgery and want Dr. Marshall to do his also!
Aug. 16, 2011
My first impression of Dr Marshall was that he was wonderful, funny and very knowledgable and sure knows his business,,,,,asl time went on I only confirmed all that to be true and more, He is the BEST. I love him, I would never recommend anyone else, He's kind, patient , caring, always has time for you no matter how busy he is and on top of all that he is a good, good, good doctor, His staff is excellent and I've never been in the hospital on a unit where EVERYONE is so so nice,,,,they care, they are helpful, and Dr Marshall insists that every one be very friendly and curteous, it is wonderful on the bariatric unit at the hospital where Dr marshall does his thing,,,,,,,AND AFTER ALL THAT, He also does all his own tummy tucks and all that, and if there are complications, bowel no matter what, he does it all…….HE IS JUST FABULOUS………….I'm sorry the only thing negative I can say is its a ways to drive if you don't live near Detroit, If you don't believe thats all bad, I can say, go to his web site and you'll see all the testemonials are the same way,,,,,,He's unbelievable
Jan. 19, 2006
My first impression was that I really liked this guy and I made up my mind right then that I would have surgery and he would do it. I am 3 weeks post surgery and I still have the highest opinion of him. Dr Marshall and all his crew are the best!!.
I do not have one negative thing to say about him.
May 27, 2011
I love Dr. Marshall he is very nice and knows his stuff and I'm happy to have him as my surgeon The office was clean and nice staff was about the business of the patients Future patients should feel at ease talking to Dr. Marshall he has been doing his thing for a long time. You can visit Dr. Marshall with/without insurance he tells you he is responsible for you.

I feel incredibly blessed to have Dr. Keith Marshall as my surgeon. From meeting him at the informational seminar, it was clear that this physician was completely committed to the well being of each patient. It is rare to find such an established surgeon take special care to listen to his patient's concerns and address each one. As the pre-surgical process unfolded under the direction of the bariatric team, I was amazed at how effortless they made this seem.
Meeting with Dr. Marshall in his office just prior to my surgery exceeded my expectations of his role in this life changing step. Our discussion of "informed consent" was provided in such a thorough yet reassuring manner. His years caring for bariatric patients, both inside and outside the operating room, was clearly evident. During my hospitalization and in the recent weeks following my surgery, his availability, interest in my personal success, and support has remained strong. Dr.Marshall has so much to offer bariatric patients–I feel so fortunate to have had such a positive experience because of this gifted and caring surgeon.
July 27, 2010
Dr. Marshall is a great guy. He explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and has a great sense of humor. His office staff is great too, friendly and efficient. He also makes sure you are doing the right things to get the maximum benifit from your surgery and become truely healthy.
Aug. 26, 2005
Dr Marshall is a wonderful surgeon and I am so happy with what he did for my mom and myself. He is very clot conscious which is good I think. Dr. Marshall's office staff are great ladies. They will answer any questions that you may have. I have to say that Dr. Marshall is a very busy man and at our last appointment we were there just short of 2 hours only seeing him for 20 minutes at the most. He is very specific about the vitamin supplements you should be taking and expresses the importance of regular excercise. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are excellent. NO complaints here.
Aug. 16, 2005
May 26, 2010
My first impression of Dr. Marshall was that he was down to earth and extremely funny. (MY kind of guy) He was patient and answered everyones questions. (I met him at a info. seminar at a LivLite meeting)
Since then I have had my consultation with him, talked about the surgery and which one he wants to do and why. I am trusting him with my life…he just gives that kind of aura off. Great guy and from what I hear from everyone who has gone to him, a great surgeon.
He emphasizes your aftercare HEAVILY..starts out by saying that you may die if you do not have the surgery and you will die if you do not follow post op instructions and do the post care with him.
You have a 30 page document of aftercare to follow and his phone and pager number to call 24/7.
He sits down at the consultation for 1½ hrs and talks about the risks and the different kinds of surgery and why he does the procedure he does and why it will work for you if you work with it.
He is terrific!!!!
June 22, 2005
First Impression: This Dr. takes the time to come to teaching seminars and actually tells people when he thinks they are not candidates for surgery! He wants people to make informed decisions. My impression never changed. He was always kind, asked for feedback, thanked me for calling and waking him up in the middle of the night. Always took the time in the office to sit with patients and answer EVERY question. Never, in the entire process, did I feel alone or like I didn't know what to do. His office staff are very thorough and supportive. My favorite thing about Dr.Marshall was his sense of humor and his ability to actually sit down and empathize with the patient. Future patients should know that they will be very well cared for, and that he is honest and always respectful. I am an ontario patient with OHIP funding which means that only a small number of office visits are paid for. He doesnt care. He brings you in the office as much as you need until you are feeling perfect. Dr. Marshall not only gave a lecture at the information seminar, but also prior to surgery where he explained, in detail, the surgery and the risks.I would rate Dr. Marshall and his partner, Dr.Pesta as both 100 out of ten. I have never had medical care of this quality.rnI could not choose what Dr. Marshall is better at, he couldnt be better at either. I love him for the change that has come about in my life!
March 29, 2009
I think that Dr. Marshall is 100%. Excellent bedside manner, and would recommend him to anyone. The whole experience was a sucsess. All nurses and doctors were able to help you with all your concerns. Even housecleaning staff want to help in what ever way possible. The whole hospital time way very calming and relaxing. They get you moving to look after yourself
Oct. 3, 2008
Dr. Marshall is the most down to earth doc i no.. the way my husband put it is old school!!!! there is nothing i don't like about him.for future patients if Dr.Marshall is your doctor relax he explains everything to the way it is.his surgical competence, bedside manner are both great!!
April 17, 2008
Dr. Marshall first impressed me as being very laid back and personal.
He is very informed and ggod at what he does. His bedside manner is just great. He's very straight with you but yet he's sensitive as to the way he explains things to you. You are given his office and pager number and he is very involved in the aftercare. All follow ups are at his office, he doesn't just send you back to your primary or family doctor. I would recommend him to any of my own family and or freinds.
Basically, if you are looking for a competent and well bedside mannered doctor, Dr. Marshall is both of these.
May 18, 2005
I was so nervous meeting him Yesterday (may 23/07) . I think I am making the right choice and he is the Dr to do it. I have this wonderful feeling it was ment to be. I had my surgery Sept 14 th. His bedisde manor and just his way of talking to you makes you feel like a person and not just a number. I would reccommend anyone who is thinking of having wls to just go and talk to him. He will but a whole new light on it, this is his calling. Thank you Dr Marshall for this brand new start in life. The team of Drs that he works with are all caring and down to earth people.The staff at the hospital I cannot say enough about. The pre-op classes are filled with information this is life altering and the classes help you understand that. Thank you just does not say enough.
Oct. 27, 2007
I went with my mother and husband for my first office visit and was very comfortable and confident when I left the office. Dr. Marshall took the time to explain not only the surgery I was having but also why he felt it was a good choice for me. My mother, who was a bit leary, left the office with a positive, supportive attitude, as did my husband. He took the time to answer any questions the three of us had, gave me his pager number (I've never had a doctor do that). The staff was friendly and well informed and I am looking forward to seeing him in the operating room!!! Between the classes that are offered at the hospital, taught by the clinic staff, to Dr. Kinner…everything has been wonderful.
July 31, 2007
First Impression of Dr Marshall.Great sense of humour!! Which was much needed….lol. He is also Brutally honest, which is a good thing for persons who are considering this surgery. A Dr. who really cares about his patients…not many doctors would give you his personal pager number just to make sure all of your questions are answered post op. His staff is amazing. The Program Manager is a wonderful person. They have a great after care program and as I mentioned above he will even give you his pager number to ensure you feel safe. I would rate Dr. Marshall and his staff a perfect 10!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
Feb. 13, 2007
Dr. Marshall was so nice when I meet him at my consultation, he explained everything to me and I was very confident in him. He visited me everyday at the hospital after my wls. His staff is wonderful (Two Thumbs Up!) Dr. Marshall gives his patients his pager number so we can reach him if needed.
Jan. 24, 2007
Dr.Marshall is the best.He gave me his cell phone number after surgery in case I had a question or problem.I got a wound infection and he called me every day to make sure I was doing better and not so worried.Even after surgery(I'm 22 months out) He is still there for questions or concerns.He is one in a million!!!!!
Feb. 15, 2005
Dr. Marshall is very personable and very knowledgeable. His staff is very helpful. He was very thorough in regards to what happens during surgery and the possible side effects. He has always taken the time to answer all my questions during visits. This puts him somewhat behind on keeping appointment times, but you know he will take the time to talk with you as well as others.
Aug. 12, 2006
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Marshall. He is experienced, kind, compasionate, and has a sense of humor too! I completely trust him. His office staff is wonderful. Aftercare is very important to Dr. Marshall. He even gives patients his personal pager number which I had hever heard of before. I would recommend Dr. Marshall to anyone considering WLS.
April 21, 2006
My first impression of him was very good. He was very polite and concerned. He explained in detail about the surgery and was never rushed. I became more impressed with him over time. He really knows his field and is caring. He gives you his office number, fax number, as well as his pager number and calls back very quickly no matter the time of day. He never gets upset if you call and need something and is always understanding. The only time he is delayed in calling back is when he is in surgery and even then he calls as soon as he is out.
The office staff could not be nicer, they knew more about me than just as a patient and are always friendly and willing to answer any questions.
The only negative thing is because he is so thorough with all his patients and takes time with everyone, the wait in the waiting room can be long at times. However, I was never bothered by this because all the patients sit and talk and have a mini support group meeting while we wait. He is very concerned with after care, he always asks about how eating is going, and always emphasizes vitamins and minerals, and exercise. He is also so helpful in teaching anything that you need to learn. He prescribes a blood thinner immediate post op for about a week and then puts everyone on vitamin B12 shots and is more than happy to teach how to give them. He was extremely thorough in explaining all the risks, not only what they are, why they happen, what he does to prevent complications, what happens if it something would happen, and how he will treat them. On a scale of 1-10, I would give Dr. Marshall a 20. I cannot stress how much I liked and recommend him. Also, I would like to say that I was able to shadow Dr. Marshall before my surgery (because I am also interested in Osteopathic medicine, and he let me shadow him and then wrote me a recommendation letter which helped me get accepted into Osteopathic medical school). So I can tell you first hand that he is very competent in the operating room, I know not only from my surgery, but also observing him operate. So I can tell you with confidence that Dr. Marshall has great surgical competence and wonderful bedside manner. He is the best doctor I have ever had. I would recommend Dr. Marshall to anyone who is considering having gastric bypass surgery.
Dec. 30, 2004
Dr. Marshall is a cool individual. He is very open and honest about the situation you ar e getting involved in.
Dr. Marshall's office staff is very, pleasent,patient, resourceful and helpful.
Dec. 15, 2004
I went to several support group meetings. At the meetings Dr. Marshall is present to answer any and all questions or preop or postop patients. He is very knowledgable and appears to be very caring.
I first was very impressed with Shellie at Liv-Lite and that was one of the reason I choose Dr. Marshall.
Both Kim's at Dr. Marshall's office have been helpful.
Dec. 14, 2004
Dr. Marshall seems experienced. He answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. Seems that he is supportive of his patients. Will update later.
Aug. 24, 2004
Dr. Mashall is absolutely wonderful. He's eliminated all my fears in the matter of minutes. He described the surgery so simply, that I feel confident I could do it. 🙂 Very professional and down to earth. His supporting staff is polite and professional. I believe I'm going to enjoy being his patient.

Below is Mr Major's press conference in Brussels at the NATO Summit on Tuesday 11th January 1994.
This has been only the 11th NATO summit in a period of 35 years and the first NATO summit we have had since the summit in Rome in November 1991. It was a summit I think with a very clear purpose and that purpose was to give a clear direction to the Alliance at a time of totally new challenges. Without question, I believe, the summit has been successful and it has given that new sense of direction, it has reaffirmed NATO's core function to provide for our collective security. The United States have renewed unequivocally their commitment to Europe and their determination to leave a large number of United States troops on the continent of Europe. NATO is bent on bringing Europe together, it has launched what I believe is both a practical and an imaginative process in Partnership for Peace. It said that it would welcome: "Expansion that would reach the democratic states to our east as part of an evolutionary process".
We have reaffirmed at this meeting again our support for reform in Russia, we have agreed on the new concept of combined joint task forces which is a very significant change in NATO's military organisation. It will I hope and expect improve NATO's ability to mount peace-
If I may just say a word about Bosnia. It is I think intolerable that UNPROFOR has recently been prevented from rotating its contingent in Srebrenica. We will be drawing up plans now to help UNPROFOR bring in a Netherlands contingent to replace the Canadians. And whilst talking of the Canadians perhaps I could say that the courage and dedication that they have shown there epitomises the very outstanding peace-
We have also agreed to examine how Tuzla airport can be opened with the intention that it should serve as a conduit for humanitarian relief. And we have also looked again at the situation in Sarajevo and are seeking an urgent improvement there. The bombardment of the town has diminished over the past few days but it has been, as you will all know, the subject of some very bitter fighting..
After this press conference this morning I will be meeting the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, the Chairman of the Military Committee and a number of other top NATO Commanders at lunch. And the purpose of this lunch is to discuss how the summit's decisions will be implemented on the military side and to benefit from their professional advice on Bosnia and on other security problems.
Quite apart from the central agenda at this meeting, I have taken the opportunity to compare notes with the Heads of Government of a number of other NATO countries. I met the Turkish Prime Minister, Mrs Ciller, for the first time yesterday, we discussed Iraq and a number of other subjects. I saw the French Prime Minister and the German Chancellor yesterday afternoon and the Italian Prime Minister this morning. At the end of our discussions this morning I had a brief discussion with President Clinton about Bosnia and Northern Ireland and we discussed the agenda that we might tackle on my arrival in Washington at the end of February.
If one looks at the declaration that we published today, one sentence of it I believe encapsulates the meeting: "The fuller integration of the countries of central and Eastern Europe and of the former Soviet Union into a Europe whole and free cannot be successful without the strong and active participation of allies on both sides of the Atlantic".
I believe that very strongly and to make a reality of that is going to require hard work and patience and all the countries will have a part to play. I have, for example, kept in very close touch with Boris Yeltsin during his Presidency and I hope also to be going to Moscow as well as to Washington within the next few weeks.
I do believe that it is extremely important to build up our partnership with the democratic leaders of Russia, as well as with those of central and of Eastern Europe. They are our friends, they have founded new and democratic institutions, they have liberalised their economies. For example in Russia, 70 percent of small and medium enterprises have now been privatised and nearly 7,000 large firms. Inflation has come down quite sharply in recent months in Russia, entrepreneurs are increasingly beginning to appear and the benefits of reform are beginning to be seen quite clearly in many parts of Russia.
Russia has a hugely important part to play in the world. Partnership between Russia and NATO can only be to the benefit of both sides and to the benefit of the international community. What we have been seeking to do at this meeting is to build a stable framework for the most profound changes in modern history.
This summit, I believe, has made a big contribution to that objective and I think it can fairly be described as a complete success.
Are you now more willing to consider the use of air power, either in the case of Sarajevo or in the instances of ensuring the rotation of troops and the reopening of the airport in Tuzla, have you come closer to that as President Clinton and the Secretary General said that they thought there was a greater determination in these conversations to use air power?
There is a great determination, let me take the different points that you raise. As far as Sarajevo is concerned, we agreed in August in the agreements of 2 and 9 August that in appropriate circumstances NATO would use air power there. That was the situation, we have reaffirmed the fact that that could be used. As far as Tuzla and Srebrenica are concerned, it was in fact an Anglo-
As far as Tuzla is concerned, there were some plans drawn up from Tuzla, they are not finalised, the plans, that is why the wording is precisely as it is in the declaration. We will ask the NATO Commanders, the UN UNPROFOR, to draw up final plans to see what is practicable to do to open Tuzla airport for humanitarian reasons. And the answer to your question is that there is a very real determination to carry out what is stated in the declaration and I believe it is a universal determination amongst all the Heads of Government who were present here this morning.
QUESTION (Mark Leighty, BBC):
Could you tell us whether you think that we are more likely to use force, say, in Srebrenica and Tuzla and that the British are very much less keen to use force around Sarajevo? If that is so, why are we so much more worried about shelling around Sarajevo and using air strikes there than we are about using them at Srebrenica. And what are the Canadians saying to you, they do not appear to be keen in public?
The Canadians, I have no knowledge of what Canadians allegedly may have been saying to people in private, I do know what has been said at the meetings and the Canadians have agreed to this declaration, there was no dispute about it, there were minor discussions about the clarity of the wording, I think three or four words were added in this context in paragraph 25 just to make clear that it was in the context of air strikes, and there was one other word added to make it clear that we were talking about the rotation of troops at Srebrenica. So there was no dispute about it, I do not know where these suggestions of dispute arise, but I can assure you that there was no dispute about this at our meeting last evening or in our discussions this morning.
Of course there are concerns about it, these are not easy propositions to carry out, that is why we have got to examine the plans and make sure how they can be done. But as I indicated a moment ago, there is a determination to carry out those objectives that we have set out in this declaration and that is true whether they relate to Tuzla and Srebrenica or whether they relate to Sarajevo. Of course the nature of the operations would be different and without going into lengthy treaties of that, we have to take that into account. But it is intended that what is written in this declaration shall be carried through as and when necessary.
QUESTION (John Palmer, Guardian):
You call into question any suggestions that there were divisions, but only half an hour ago President Clinton told us that while he was keen to support the Anglo-
I have absolutely no idea. The United Kingdom proposal was to add the proposals on Tuzla and the proposals on Srebrenica to what was previously agreed in August and I believe in the unaccountable fashion that occasionally occurs at these great events, what was proposed to be the final declaration was circulated and many of you will have seen it in its earlier form in which there was a reiteration of the position as far as Sarajevo was concerned. The Anglo-
Up to now, much of the problem on the ground has been the requirement to negotiate your way through road blocks and it has led to situations where one man with a gun can stop a whole UN convoy. Do you now envision that we will force our way through these road blocks and if attacked then air strikes would be called or are you suggesting that air strikes might be called in advance of moving forward?
I don't think it would be appropriate to go into details of that sort. Clearly, if you can negotiate your way through that is the best way. Nobody who reads this declaration can be in any doubt about out determination to carry out what is set out in the declaration. I hope that is read and I hope that is understood.
[Not translated]
We established the London Conference some time ago because we wanted to put the process towards peace to give it a firm political backing. That was the underlying reason for establishing the London Conference and from that of course the negotiating activities on behalf of all of us by David Owen and successive partners. That has always been our position.
One of the concerns we have had right from the outset, self-
Prime Minister, was your initiative on Srebrenica and Tusla launched in order to head off pressure in any measure from other Alliance members for more punitive or large-
No, it was not. It was not intended to be a joint Anglo-
No, it was not an attempt to divert from anything else. It was taken on its merits. Clearly, for humanitarian reasons, it is wholly desirable to have Tusla airport open and as far as Srebrenica is concerned, I simply think it makes a nonsense of the whole operation if the natural rotation of replacing Canadian troops with Dutch troops is unable to take place and therefore we have decided to take the action that we set out in the declaration.
Prime Minister, I wonder if I could ask you how you plan to re-
I don't think you represent the position as I understand it at all. I have indicated quite clearly the width and depth of the programme of "Back to Basics". People will see it in great clarity this very day for example for a central core of it, the Criminal Justice Bill, has its Second Reading in the House of Commons.
Prime Minister, John Patten did say yesterday that he had never known a time in the past fifteen years since you and he went to the Commons for the first time when things had been so difficult. Is he right?
Times are difficult from time to time, subsequently they get easy.
I recall having questions from you and Adam twelve months ago which were suggesting to me that the economy would never return to growth, unemployment would never fall and we would find ourselves in very great difficulties. What has happened over the last year is that unemployment has fallen by 180,000, the economy has begun quite clearly to grow, exports have been running at level levels. We have now taken in two successive budgets last year decisions that will bring down the fiscal deficit. So the prospect for this year, the prospect that will impact upon the lives of everyone in the United Kingdom, is for renewed and accelerated growth, a low level of inflation, lowish interest rates, unemployment continuing to fall, exports continuing to rise and investments continuing to rise. I think, had you asked me the question you just asked me twelve months ago and I had forecast that to you, you would have been dubious about whether it was likely to be accurate. Now, most people accept that it is accurate.
If I may bring you to NATO, Prime Minister, with a question concerning a remark you made about a partnership between NATO and Russia. That I presume you did not then envisage to be on the basis of the Partnership for Peace agreements because that is a comparatively low level agreement. Are you envisaging in fact a partnership whereby a political agreement is made with Russia about the importance of maintaining the values and the peace that we want to maintain?
Partnership for Peace certainly need not be at a low level. think there may be a misunderstanding there. It certainly need not be at a low level and it may be variable as between one country and another so certainly an invitation to Russia and for that matter Ukraine to participate in Partnership for Peace has been issued. We very much hope they will accept.
But I think quite apart from the normal semantics of politics and diplomacy, the reality of life is that Russia is a different nation from any others in the world. Its huge military power and its worldwide significance necessarily make it so, so in a whole range of ways -
One of the greatest prizes that could be handed on to the next generation and the generation after that would surely be if we were able to sufficiently support the reform process so that Russia became a genuine good neighbour, a genuine democratic country where the reformers win the argument and Russia can enter fully -
Do you agree with Conservative MPs who say your "Back to Basics" campaign is now in crisis and do politicians have any special responsibility to behave in a moral fashion?
I don't believe the remarks about crisis. The "Back to Basics" policy, as I have spelt out time and time again, runs right the way across the whole thread of Government activity: "Back to Basics" in economics: I set out the changes that there now are in our economic prospects; in terms of law and order, the Criminal Justice Bill, the most wide-
I will give you another illustration: many of the fashionable thoughts of previous decades with hindsight have turned out to be wrong. It was a mistake to put so many people in tower blocks in the middle of the inner cities; it has produced very dramatic social problems. We are reversing that. We are not building any more tower blocks. Where we can, we are replacing those that exist and trying to produce communities that have a better community feel about them. Again back to basics.
All those are part of a very wide-
Does it have a moral dimension at all?
I think there is a distinction to be drawn. Of course, it is about good standards and good values, of course it is about that. What it is not is a witch-
Prime Minister, your Government has expressed concern in the past about the threat to British troops if there are air strikes in Bosnia. Do you not have those same concerns if Srebrenica is subjected to air strikes?
That is why, if you look at the wording of the declaration, we make it clear that we have to draw up plans. Those plans will need to take account of the safety of the troops. That is one of the paramount concerns. That is not a point of difference between anyone there this morning. It is self-
Does that mean you would want to see your troops withdrawn before air strikes take place?
No, it doesn't necessarily mean that.

"Well, we're home…" said James.
"Uh-huh," said Lily, straightening the "I got lost in Muggle Paris! " pin on her robes.
"Do you think we should let Sirius know?"
"Are you joking? Anyway, Remus will tell him tomorrow."
"Let me rephrase that; are we sure we should've let Sirius know?"
"We didn't."
James looked skeptical. "Remus is a Marauder, my darling wife."
"That's the scariest name you've ever called me…"
James grinned. "Wait till 'My Darling Wife and Mother of My Beloved Children' before you say that."
Lily pretended to swoon. James scooped her up and started walking slowly towards the front door.
Lily allowed her eyelashes to flutter dreamily open
"I had the strangest dream," she said, digging her elbow into her husband's side, "I dreamed I was married to James Potter."
"Really," said James, "What a coincidence; I've been dreaming you were married to James Potter since I was fifteen." They were up on the front porch by now. James was fumbling with door handle with the hand under her shoulders, gallantly trying not to drop her. She leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and sighed softly with contentment.
Then the bucket of whitewash landed on James' head.
He gently put her down, and then removed the bucket from his head and threw it on the ground. He glared at Lily, who was giggling hysterically, congealing whitewash running in streams down her robes.
"What?!" he asked. Lily couldn't speak through her giggles, but she managed to point. There, on the floor, in the splash of whitewash next to the offending bucket, were fifteen words and three marks. The first mark was a plain white circle, the second a dog's paw print, and the third, barely visible in its smallness, was a semi-circular line which might have been the print of a rat's tail. The words were:
Messrs. Moony, Wormtail and Padfoot would like to wish Messr. & Mdme. Prongs a happy homecoming.
Lily grinned, giggles subsiding slightly. "Apparently I was wrong…"
"I'm going to kill Remus!" said James.
Holy Cow. It's finished. If you haven't reviewed yet, this is your last shot for this story. Feel free to check out my other works (although they're all oneshots) if you haven't already. I hope you enjoyed it.

The terms greenfield site and brownfield site have their origin in urban planning. Greenfield means using fresh farm land for building projects. Brownfield means reusing existing industrial sites for new purposes.
A greenfield software project is a fresh start project that lets you make design decisions without regards to an existing codebase. Productivity is high, as you are not bound by an existing code base. A brown field project is the opposite: Maintaining legacy code. Productivity is low. Working on a brown field project often feels like dragging through mud.
Here are two paradoxes:
- Brownfield projects are more common than green field projects. All the while most developers treasure greenfield more than brownfield.
- The computer science schools spend more time teaching greenfield-related techniques than brownfield. Meanwhile, a greenfield project may start green but before long it becomes brown. Even the code you wrote yourself will seem unintelligible in 6 months.
Most projects that I participate in have a color somwwhere between green and brown. Often there is a legacy app written in VB6 and it has to be rewritten in C#. The existing app is considered the blueprint and all of its functionality must be duplicated in the new app. Plus all the new features that the customer expects to be thrown in while we're at it.
These kind of projects requires you to reuse some legacy code and allows you to make some greenfield decisions.
How to color the projects? Black field project? Too sinister. Blue field? Well the symbolism is not as clear as the terms green and brown. What's your favorite color?

Alain Voge Cornas Les Chailles 2014
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
At the time, it was an audacious decision: despite their history, the Cornas and Saint Peray appellations were forgotten sleeping beauties. Very quickly, he extended the vineyards in places which had remained uncultivated over the last 30 years and developed the sales of his bottled wines. Supported by his wife Eliane, he visited the best national and regional restaurants to make his wines known.
Thanks to their quality and to Alain Voge's creative approach, the domain's reputation has rapidly increased. Yesterday, as today and tomorrow, our philosophy is to practice a hand made viticulture on the slopes of the Rhône right bank, dedicated to Syrah and Marsanne. Our wines are the expression of their terroir, for the pleasure of lovers, all over the world.
Distinguished as a fine Syrah producing zone since the 18th century, Cornas, like Cote Rotie, is made up of vineyards covering steep and hard-to-work, granite terraces. As a result the region's wines fell out of favor during the mid 20th century when the global market was more focused on bulk wines and vineyards that yielded high quantities. It wasn't until the 1980s when a group of energetic young winemakers reestablished the integrity of these precipitous terraces and also began making an ultra-modern style of Syrah. The new style didn't need a decade before it was drinkable and could reach the consumer faster than the region's traditional wines. Given the new quality coming out of the zone, its popularity once again soared and today a good Cornas can easily challenge many of those from Hermitage. Characteristics of Syrah from Cornas include teeth-staining flavors of blackberry jam, plum, pepper, violets, smoked game, charcoal, chalk dust and smoke.
Marked by unmistakable aromatics, a savory palate, and an elegant texture, Syrah is capable of producing fascinatingly complex and long-lived wines with a stunning purple hue. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah's best examples are found in Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. It is also an important component of the GSM blends of the Southern Rhône and beyond, alongside Grenache and Mourvèdre. Both varietal Syrah and GSM blends are common in Australia and California and are gaining popularity in Washington State. In Australia, Syrah is known by the synonym Shiraz, which tends to indicate a bolder, fruit-driven style of wine, and is occasionally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon for added depth and structure.
In the Glass
At its best, Syrah shows aromas and flavors of purple fruits, fragrant violets, baking spice, white pepper, smoke, and even bacon fat. Many examples from California aim to recreate this savory style, while others focus more on concentrated fruit flavors. In Australia, under the name Shiraz, it shines as that country's unofficial signature red grape, producing deep, dark, intense, and often jammy reds.
Perfect Pairings
Cool-climate Syrah, with its peppery spices, is a natural match with flavorful Moroccan-spiced lamb dishes, where the spice is more about flavor than heat. With Australian Shiraz, grown in warmer regions, heavy meat dishes with abundant protein and fat are a necessity to match the intensity of the wine.
Sommelier Secret
Due to the success of Australian "Shiraz," this synonym for Syrah has been adopted by winemakers throughout the world. If the label says "Shiraz," you can typically expect a plush, fruity, and potent wine made in the Australian style. New World "Syrah" will generally more closely resemble the French style.

SonicFox Parts Ways with Critical Reaction
Dominique "SonicFox" Mclean, the self-proclaimed Furry and established Mortal Kombat X champ, announced yesterday that he will be calling it quits with his team, Critical Reaction.
"I would like to announce my departure from @Team_cR !" wrote SonicFox via Twitter, "They have been way too good to me, and I have enjoyed many years with them!"
For those that don't know his name, SonicFox is presently ranked #143 in highest overall earnings according to e-Sports Earnings, however, he is #13 in highest earnings for players from just the United States. Before SonicFox turned 18 years old, he earned $182,175.20 in cash prizes from 39 tournaments, which is more than some of us will make in 3/4 years.
He may be known more for being the top Mortal Kombat player in the FGC but SonicFox is far from a one-trick pony. He also plays Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, Injustice: Gods Among Us, is second in Shoryuken's Skullgirls rankings, and has been known to dabble in some Street Fighter V. However, there's a reason he's best known for his play in Mortal Kombat – all it takes is one look at his handiwork from Evo 2014, 2015, and 2016, where he placed first each year.
Critical Reaction was just as sad to see Sonic Fox go as he was to leave. The group has a very close bond, which could be seen in their goodbye Tweet to the fighting game champ, saying, "We love you bro! You will be missed! All the love in the world to you! :-)" SonicFox replied that Critical Reaction will, "always have a special place in my heart. But I now have bigger goals set in the future. Keep your eyes out! You're always
SonicFox replied that Critical Reaction will, "always have a special place in my heart. But I now have bigger goals set in the future."
These kids melt the heart. Stream.me would also like to say good luck SonicFox! Show the world what you are made of!

Land off Winchester Road, Wickham
Land at Winchester Road Wickham has been promoted for residential development through the Local Plan process since 2007. Two fields to the north east of Winchester Road have been allocated for residential development in the recently adopted Winchester Local Plan Part 2. The Plan provides for up to 125 dwellings to be accommodated on the allocated land, together with the provision of land for recreational purposes off Mill Lane, Wickham.
The two fields which have been allocated for residential development were subject of a planning application for 100 dwellings made in September 2015 which was refused in September 2016. Further land to the northeast of the allocated land was also the subject of a planning application which was refused in July 2016.
The application for 100 dwellings was rejected for a number of reasons which included there being a deficiency of housing numbers and an increase in the risk of flooding.
The Council is seeking to delay residential development in Wickham due to concerns about drainage issues within the village. It is anticipated that this situation will be clarified in the coming months.
Bewley Homes who have been promoting the development of the land are ready to submit a further application having undertaken extensive discussions with Officers. When the application is submitted plans will be available for public comment.
