When it comes to souvenirs my many years of travel have taught me that a useful cooking or serving implement beats an article of clothing by a mile. The dozens of kimonos I purchased at flea markets in Japan still sit in a chest in the basement and when I squeeze myself into the gorgeous Thai silk suit I bought in Bangkok, the look is more slightly-chubby-Thai-Airways-flight-attendant than Mata Hari. On the other hand, the oak barrel I dragged home from Montepulciano continues to make wonderful vinegar from the dregs of our wine glasses and the set of dishes I bought in Kappabashi in Tokyo make their appearance nearly nightly on our dinner table.
Last September we took a trip to Santa Fe and I became obsessed with buying a micaceous clay pot. I had read an article about them in New Mexico magazine and was intrigued by the accounts of their unusual heat conductivity and the "sweet" flavour they were said to impart to food, particularly beans. It wasn't my first encounter with micaceous clay; we had bought a small Lacota mask at Taos Pueblo on our honeymoon but hadn't realized that this metal-flecked clay was traditionally used to produce beautiful and highly functional cooking vessels.
The clay, from Northern New Mexico, is a blend of mica and red clay and has been used by the indigenous peoples of New Mexico for hundreds of years. The pots are built using the coil method and were traditionally fired in a large open fire. Modern potters have since discovered that firing the pots first in a kiln and finishing them in a wood fire leads to a more durable product. The black patterns that are a characteristic of these pots are called "fire clouds" and are formed when the burning wood touches the vessel during the firing process.
Finding an affordable pot, however, proved to be a challenge. Micaceous clay objects are not cheap and well-crafted pots usually start at around $100 per quart. I finally found a three-quart pot while browsing around the galleries and artist studios in Madrid, New Mexico, for about $150.
When I got the pot home I could hardly wait to try it. I gently washed it before use and was horrified to find that the clay inside seemed to be rubbing off, forming a pool of muddy water in the bottom. I remembered that someone had told me that you could season (and thus seal the pores) of a ceramic Japanese hot pot or nabe by cooking rice in it before use. I tried this clever trick and it worked perfectly.
I mixed all the ingredients together and brought everything to a boil on top of the stove and then left the beans to cook for a few hours in the wood-fired oven after the coals had been removed and the temperature had dropped to about 3oo degrees Farenheit.
The resulting beans were terrific. Smoky, brick red and slightly fiery, they just seemed to get better and better as you ate them. It's hard to say whether or not they actually tasted "sweeter" than beans cooked in a metal or glazed pot but they certainly had an indescribable and not at all unpleasant earthiness about them.
I use the pot almost weekly in the winter, in either the outdoor wood-fired oven or in the top half of our Tukikivi masonry heater. It's developing a beautiful patina on the outside the clay seems to be absorbing all the luscious flavours of the food cooked within.

I discovered that the Children's and Adults' Services Overview and Scrutiny meeting was to be held at the same time
as I was due to be with the local shopkeepers at their meeting I was not too
disappointed. Going to all the Scrutiny meetings risks listening to a great deal
of repetition but when the other traders' meeting was postponed at the last
minute I lost my excuse to give Scrutiny a miss.
I was not wrong about the repetition, the News Shopper's reporter lasted 20 minutes and I sat it out until Cabinet Member Philip Read began to read out exactly the same speech as he had delivered to 'Communities' a week earlier, Then I headed for the exit. I don't begrudge Councillor Read glorying in his team's significant achievement with OFSTED but I am already convinced of it; no need to hear it again.
The meeting was Chaired by Councillor Cafer Munur (Blackfen & Lamorbey) who unlike Councillor Newton forgot to include members of the public in his welcoming remarks; to be fair I think he usually does. The first item on the Agenda was discussion of the Annual Report of the Safeguarding Adults' Board, the existence of which is a Statutory Requirement. It includes not only the Council but also the Police and NHS.
Councillor Richard Diment (Conservative, Sidcup) wondered how much the restructuring of the Police would affect the Board. I think the rather lengthy reply amounted to 'wait and see but probably not much'. It will be "monitored closely".
Councillor Linda Bailey (Conservative, Crook Log) was a little "concerned about the large number of Agencies involved", about a dozen, which have links to the Board. "At the end of the day will anything get done?" She was told that everyone present had to be "a decision maker". Buck passing was not allowed, it would generate a complaint to the management of the offending Agency.
Apparently 22 London Councils exempt young persons who have been in Council Care from the payment of Council Tax until the date of their 25th birthday. Bexley plans to join that group. The 100% discount will include all precepts.
A number of questions were aimed at how that would work out if the exempted person shared with others. The answers all boiled down to the same thing. He or she would be deemed not to exist which would mean that if, for example, they shared with one other person that person would get the single person's discount.
Councillors John Davey (Conservative, West Heath) and Richard Diment asked a number of questions that might trip up a less logical arrangement but the one proposed stood up well to scrutiny.
The annual cost is likely to be in the region of £38,000 and the transitional arrangements at age 26 would have to be carefully managed, there would be no taper.

Cabinet Member Philip Read (West Heath) then said "I just want to repeat what I said at Communities last week; the presentation of their findings by OFSTED was one of the most incredible and emotional of occasions ". Yes I am sure it was but my memory is not so short that I have forgotten what the great man said last week. My cue to go.

It's summer though, and alfredo and mac and cheese are pretty heavy. Undressed pasta gets pretty boring after awhile (unless its fancy ravioli, which I do really need to try my hand at) and clearly it was time to change things up. A pesto seemed just the way to do that. Just one problem, and one you've heard before: I'm cheap. And pinenuts are expensive. So I said screw that, I'm using almonds. It worked just fine, I think.
This is for a tiny batch, four servings. It doesn't make a lot, but what it does has some punch. When I first turned the processor on with the basil in there the kitchen filled up with the most wonderful bright, green scent. It even tastes green. (I'm not crazy, I sweat, but that's the most accurate description.)
- 1 large handful of fresh basil
- that translates to about one cup, or 40grams but this is a very rough measurement
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons almonds or other nuts of your choice
- I used blanched and unsalted, but you can use roasted
- pine nuts are much more traditional, but they're not cheap
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- salt to taste
- In a food processor (or a blender, or a magic bullet - use what you have), grind up your nuts until they're somewhat mealy.
- Add the basil to the processor, pulse for a couple of seconds. This is just to break up the basil a bit and mix it with the nuts before the oil goes in. (I find things mix up better this way.) This is where it starts to smell good.
- Add the olive oil to the processor and give it a few whirls. You're looking for the basil to break down completely and for all three components to start to mix together. Scrape down the bowl once or twice between whirls.
- When everything is well blended, add the parmesan and give it a final spin or two, just to evenly distribute the cheese throughout the sauce.
- You have almond pesto! Pour it over some freshly cooked pasta (or mix it up with the pasta) and enjoy. Or do some other crazy things with it - use it as sandwich spread, or to marinate some chicken or whatever makes you happy.

Fans followed along as the JxJ crew produced content live from the road. Thanks in part to a motor home that served as a "Mobile Brand Publishing HQ", the team cranked out more than 20 videos, 10-plus written stories, and over 200 social media posts for the JourneyxJourney website and Coke Journey's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat accounts.
But where did the idea come from? And how did it all come together? We'll take you behind the scenes to find out!
Putting Journey on the Map
Three years ago, the idea of taking
The idea was for Emily Bucherati and myself to hit the road as a storytelling, social media'ing, modern-day Thelma and Louise, if you will. Ford offered a new 2017 Ford Escape to drive that dream into reality.

[Left to right] Journey team members Emily Bucherati, Meagan Priselac and Hannah Nemer see the JourneyxJourney 2017 Ford Escape for the first time.
Fast-forward through the nitty gritty logistics, and we had ourselves a deal. The initial pitch of just the two of navigating our way across the U.S., working from the passenger seat with a wi-fi hot spot and car inverter, turned into a full caravan of JxJ vehicles, carrying a whole team of people to bring the storytelling adventure to life. (Granted, the hot spot and inverter still came in handy.)
JxJ hit the road on Tuesday, Sept. 13, with two storytellers, two camera operators, one editor, one producer/logistics coordinator and a creative director. The storytellers drove the 2017 Ford Escape, the camera crew rode in the "MoHo" decked out with a full editing suite, and the rest followed along in a "sprinter vehicle."
The Production
Making a cross-country storytelling road trip look easy, isn't easy. From filming and directing to all the essential roles in between, it was all the hard work that happened behind the lens that truly brought these
Los Angeles-based videographers Jeff McCoy and Rick Starick filmed the entire trip. The talented duo captured interviews and b-roll (supplemental footage) with the latest camera technology including a 4k RED camera, go-pros and a drone. A slew of creative directors that rotated throughout the trip, helped call the shots during each video shoot. Then at the end of each day, the high-quality footage was handed over to editor Tyler Stooksbury, from The Tombras Group. Tyler worked in the "MoHo" editing hours and hours of content into 20+ JxJ videos, each under two-minutes. Final videos were added to YouTube and shared on Journey.
Tyler Stooksbury works on the latest JxJ road trip video at his editing suite in the MoHo.

But before the cameras started rolling, producer/logistics coordinator/cat herder/mother hen Macy Whitener was already in action. It was her job to keep everyone on the same page. From holding nightly team recap meetings, to sending out a detailed itineraries for the next day's shoot, to even texting everyone in the morning to make sure they ate breakfast, Macy was on it.

Even more behind the scenes was the extended team back "home", holding down the fort. Team Journey, led by Jenny Wilburn, were an integral part in keeping this trip on track. As for team Tombras, Mark Greico and crew kept the narrative alive from afar.
Team work makes the dream work, baby!
The Storytellers
Now for a peek into our lives on the road as the "JxJ storytellers."
From the outside looking in, the road trip might have looked like a lot of play, with a little work. At least, we hope so!
Emily and I are very thankful for the production team's ability to make this adventure look glamorous. Getting to that polished point, however, was anything but. From planning an internal launch event, to mapping out the route and strategically planning for three weeks acting as on-air talent; from filming multiple stories a day and hosting interviewees, to then covering all these stories on social media in real time; from sending daily recaps, writing new Journey stories, and planning for the next day's film shoot, to checking into a new hotel every night, waking up early to get "camera ready", and oh yes, driving 4,000+ miles… it was a lot of work.
But we asked for it, we embraced it, and in the end? We loved it.
Click through a few behind-the-scenes photos in this slideshow:
In addition to a myriad of other responsibilities, Emily and I manage Coke Journey's social media handles – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and now Snapchat. This part of our day job made the execution of the trip much easier.
Having each other made the process easier as well. People often ask Emily and I how we managed to spend so much time together on the road and stay collaborative friends. The answer is easy – every day brought meaningful stories that brought us closer together.
Emily and I both joined

Well, this weekend saw a bit of a lull in my Ossian commitments, so I really poured on the effort with The Maimed God's Saga. The list of accomplishments for Friday-Sunday is:
- Completely wrote four conversations from scratch
- Completed all the scripting for six dialogs (including the four from above)
- Added ~ 800 words to Tancred's dialog (now up to ~3700 words - and not nearly done!)
- Finished a dozen or so non-dialog related scripts
- Made up about 20 item and creature blueprints
- Finalized plans and details for the only key sidequest of Part I that had not been planned yet
- Made one tiny map from scratch
- Got about 75% done with one of the really major maps that remained
However, Ossian will certainly come calling in the future, so it may be a total of six weekends for me to get three to actually work on Maimed God.

More than half of the region's water is used for sustaining urban landscapes, and most property owners and managers can improve their outdoor water-use efficiency by following best management practices. To help implement those practices, irrigation management companies will inspect irrigation systems, make recommendations for increasing water-use efficiency, and prepare an irrigation schedule that matches the needs of each property. Irrigation management services are provided at a cost, but in many instances the cost of the investment is recovered through future water savings. In addition, financial incentives may be available to offset a portion of the costs associated with implementing any water-efficiency improvements. Irrigation management service companies can be found online.

I'm beyond excited to partner up with Castro today on Sensible Stylista. I recently discovered them online, and I'm a huge fan already. Their collection is elegant, classy, and effortlessly stylish. I wanted to feature a trendy yet polished look for you guys so I centered today's OOTD around a chic drape jacket. This lightweight piece is a dream for transitional weather. The design's sophisticated, and the quality's on point (comparable to BCBG). I'm wearing it in stone, but it's also available in black HERE. For $63.33, this piece is a steal – you're getting designer clothing for a fraction of the price. FYI, this item fits true to size. I'm wearing an XS below!
I paired my jacket with a matching blouse that I picked up at Off Saks a week ago. I was pumped because I found IRO – one of my favorite brands – in the sale racks. I could've gone monochrome, but I decided to wear faux-leather instead for texture. To finish off the look, I accessorized with a bold bag and shoes. Animal print is always a good idea – just make sure you don't go overboard. We want tasteful not tacky!
A close-up of my accessories. FYI, my bag's from Coach. I purchased it recently from their online factory outlet. I'm officially a fan because they've really stepped up their game! Coach is different now. Their BS (bags + shoes, ha) are super cute, and they no longer plaster their logo on all their items. Moving on, let's talk shoes. These babies are pricey (available here for $79.23), but I promise that you'll get tons of wear out of them. They look amazing with any and everything. Heads up, they don't sell half sizes. I recommend sizing down – I'm a 6.5, and their 6 fit me perfectly. If you're looking to step up your shoe game, purchase these STAT.
Top: IRO via Off Saks Fifth || Skirt: Banana Republic Factory Outlet (similar) || Blazer: c/o Castro || Shoes: c/o Castro || Bag: Coach Factory Outlet (similar)
I hope you guys enjoyed today's OOTD featuring Castro! Definitely let me know what you think of their clothing & accessories by leaving me a comment below. To browse more of my casual looks, click here.

These Smart Clothes Dryers Could Reduce Electricity Demand by the Equivalent of 6 Coal Power Plants
Photo: Whirlpool
Smart Appliances are Coming: Whirlpool to Produce 1 Million Grid Connected "Smart" Clothes Dryers in 2011Having a smart grid is great in good part because it allows you to more easily implement time-of-use electricity rates (power costs more at peak demand time, less at night and on weekends...). But to get the most out of it, smart appliances that can talk to the grid and "smartly" adjust their operation to reduce their power demand when electricity is expensive are required. This is why it's good news that Whirlpool is announcing that it will produce 1 million "smart" clothes dryer in 2011. If one million dryers went into power saving mode during peak time, that would reduce demand by the equivalent of about 6 coal power plants!
Smart appliances can be controlled remotely by a power company to go into energy-saving mode or shut off during times when there is high demand for electricity. Consumers could override the feature but likely will pay more for power during these periods.
Over time, wide use of smart appliances could save consumers money and cut the number of power plants needed to satisfy electricity demand, reducing power-industry pollution. The appliances aren't expected to be priced much higher than regular EnergyStar products.
So the goal is to take the responsibility of time-shifting energy intensive tasks from people directly to the appliances themselves.
Just for the dryers,Whirlpool predicts that its customers could save between $20-40 per year. That's just for one appliance. If all your appliances were "smart", this would certainly save more energy, and thus money. Here's how it would work:
In one energy-saving mode that might be used when electricity demand is high, the heat will turn on and off during an extended drying cycle but the spinning will continue to prevent wrinkles.
An electric dryer that tumbles clothes without heat uses only about 200 watts of electricity, while one that's set on maximum heat may use as much as 6,500 watts. Multiply that by one million dryers and the difference is equivalent, at a moment in time, to the output of half-a-dozen big coal-fired power plants.
But money directly saved on power bills isn't the only benefit. By shaving peaks in energy demand, fewer power plants might need to be built. Some of those costs are often passed on to people through higher electricity rates or taxes.
Smart appliances can also help us take advantage of intermittent sources of renewable energy such as wind. On a day that the wind is blowing strongly, appliances could get a message from the smart grid that a lot of clean, cheap power is available, so more of them would run at that time.
Whirlpool has also announced that by 2015 all of the company's "electronically controlled appliances it produces - everywhere in the world - will be capable of receiving and responding to signals from the smart grid." Nice.

In recent conversations with many of our manufacturing clients, Controlled Printing has become a frequent topic of conversation. We often see controlled print requirements in systems responsible for managing documents and records to prove that goods are being manufactured and processes are being executed in a repeatable, quality manner (i.e. manufacturing of a widget, plant maintenance activities). Controlled Printing allows documents and records related to these activities to be securely ... [Continue Reading]

Just in case you were one wondering where I got my supplies, here is a quick run down.
I got this paper at Michael's. It's called s.e.i Dill Blossom (a Robert Kaufman pattern) and comes in a plastic package, not a pad. I get all my paper there - but after looking for images of this paper online, I discovered I could be saving money by buying from an online store. And, since it is Robert Kaufman, it comes in fabric too!
Xyron 'machines' are both from walmart. I have the 1.5 inch and the 5 inch. Don't buy them anywhere else... the prices are way higher.
I got the colored and patterned masking tape from Cute Tape. I love it. I have used it on journals and notecards.
The fabric ribbon is Martha Stewart twill tape in cloud. I also have a couple other colors, gold and cream, that are Bobbin Ribbon brand.
I also just purchased some Divine Twine from zany hoopla on etsy. I love the bright colors!
If you have any other questions, just leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail. :) I can't wait to share my products with you! I think they are turning out pretty well, and if I may say... they are pretty cute too!
xoxo, christa

Some people don't like surprises. They like the world to operate in a certain order. Nothing unexpected, nor unplanned.
I'm not like that. I like the random unanticipated visit or event. Something that changes the day, maybe even the week.
As you know, gifts come in all shapes, sizes, colors and value. The gifts I enjoy the most are the ones where I know thought has gone into what I would like, something that would be my preference.
Sometimes gifts are special because they are so valuable or costly you wouldn't think of getting it for yourself. It isn't something you would have even thought to ask for. But you receive it and you are so very grateful that another realized it was just what you needed.
Our little part of the planet received a gift twenty one years ago. This present only weighed about ten pounds but we figured it might get bigger, and more independent as time went on. How right we were.
This gift of which I speak is our youngest daughter, she of the sleeve.
I was 39 when I gave birth to her. When I first found out I was expecting the unexpected it was a bit of a surprise. I was taking piano lessons at the time and my teacher was a wise and gifted older woman. One day I arrived at my lesson and she noticed I was a little down in the dumps.
Before I even realized what was happening tears were streaming down my hormone filled face as I explained that I was pregnant. She hugged me and told me she had faced a similar situation. She looked me right in the eye and said, "It seems difficult now, but someday (probably sooner rather than later) you will wonder how you ever managed without this child."
How incredibly correct! This beautiful tiny little (okay not so little) baby was born and stole our hearts. About 20 people showed up at the hospital the day she was born. They came in shifts to celebrate with us.
My dad was in the same hospital at the time and was very very ill. But the nurses got him in a wheelchair and mom wheeled him down to our room. The looks on their faces as they greeted their newest grandchild confirmed what I already knew. This baby was JUST what our family needed at the EXACT time we needed her.
MOMD sent her a long text this morning and has given me permission to share part of what he said. "… You have been such a joy, (as your middle name implies) to us these 21 years. You're such a blessing to us…I'm glad when I hear any door open and you emerge. I love to hear your voice when you sing, or when you're laughing hysterically over some silly program."
And so, beautiful one, Happy Birthday! We're so glad God put you in our family! He knew we needed you.

Instagram takeovers are becoming more prevalent in the world of creator/ brand collaborations. The beauty of Instagram takeovers is the ability for both the brand and influencer to mutually benefit. The brand gets exposure, and you get paid to discuss a product you love!
Another benefit to takeover collabs is the potential for both parties to expand their audience and exposure. The creator and brand have their own followers, and collaborations allow for crossovers that grow a new, engaged audience. For more information on takeover benefits for brands, check out our previous article here.
Executing an Instagram Takeover
- The Pitch Email: In some instances, a brand might reach out to you in regards to a potential collaboration. In others, you might come across a brand you LOVE that fits your personal style. In this instance, you can reach out to the brand with a 'pitch email'. Explain the value you can bring to the brand, and what you envision a collaboration would look like.
- Establish Details: Once a collaboration is established, it is important to discuss specifics for your takeover. How long will it last? What hashtags should you include? What is the overall goal? This would also be the time to discuss compensation. If you are unsure of an appropriate rate, check out our creator calculator here!
- TAKEOVER: Take the followers on an adventure and give them a glimpse into your life.
- Follow up: Once your takeover is completed, it's a good idea to send a follow up message to your brand. Evaluate whether the goals were met, and what was effective throughout your collaboration. Thank the brand for the opportunity to work together, and suggest a future collaboration if you're interested!
Keys To A Great Takeover Experience
- Setting mutual goals: Ensure your goals match the goals of the brand you are collaborating with. Common goals can include growing your audience, boosting engagement and interaction, promoting a product/ service, or a shared vision for a passion.
- Match your goals to metrics: Depending on your established goals, you can also decide which metrics you will monitor throughout the takeover. Popular metrics to determine success include views, followers, shares, or likes.
- Share in advertising responsibilities: A successful takeover will require promotion not just on the brands part, but yours too! A few days before the takeover, remind your audience to follow your partnered brand or hashtag for cross promotion!
While Instagram takeovers require extra effort from both the brand and creator, the most important thing to remember is to have fun! Utilize your creativity and remember these important steps, and you are sure to be on your way to a successful collaboration!

So I'm going to make it official and "take a break from blogging" although I may be checking in and commenting a bit. I get tired of the techno-life sometimes - don't you?
Before I go, let me get these pictures out there and tell you what I've been doing.
Best thing - I've got a cool freelance gig, copy editing and proofreading an academic book on aesthetics and creative spaces in Asian cities. It's exactly the kind of work I like to do, although the theoretical jargon can be a little challenging. Anyway, it'll keep me busy for a couple of weeks, and I've got more potential work in the pipeline. So, whew, I'm earning money!
We've been having a hot summer here - sunny every day for the foreseeable future, so there'll be no change from the shorts and T-shirt and bike helmet!
Last week we went to see a printmaking demonstration - in a parking lot.
Plywood was used for the printing "plates"...
...and the prints were made on sheets.
The "press" was a steam-roller!
It was very cool, except it was very hot. They did a lot of these prints that day - this one was done for one of the sponsors.
A couple of weeks ago we went on a hike in the hills not too far from here. It's quite a climb to a gorgeous spot with amazing views!

|the Three Sisters peaks are just barely visible in the background

What is HE4 (Human Epididymis protein 4)?
HE4 was first identified as a specific protein of the human epididymis by Kirchoff et al in 1991
Over-expression in ovarian tissue was observed by Schummer et al in 1999
The utility of HE4 as a serum biomarker in ovarian cancer was then described by Hellström et al in 2002
HE4 is expressed in the glandular epithelium of the reproductive tract, distal renal tubules and respiratory epithelium, however the highest serum levels of HE4 are found in epithelial and serous ovarian cancer and also endometrioid cancer.
HE4 has been found to be raised in ovarian cancer patients who did not have elevated CA125 levels and HE4 is not elevated in benign gynaecological conditions, e.g. pregnancy, menstruation, endometriosis.
HE4 is not evelevated
- during pregnancy2
- in any phases of the menstruation cycle or with hormonal treatments3
- with hormonal stimulation during IVF treatment4
Importance of specific biomarker for management of gynecologic diseases
Cysts are a common occurrence, especially in premenopausal women, and the majority of cysts are benign:
Lumipulse® G HE4 (Human epididymis protein 4)
Lumipulse G HE4 is a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) use for the quantitative measurement of HE4 (Human epididymis protein 4) in human serum or plasma on the LUMIPULSE G system.

Up until things started getting a bit more sophisticated towards the end of the 19th century, there's not much reliable contemporary information about the grape varieties planted during the mid and latter 19th century as the Cape vineyard diversified away from a recent near-monoply by groendruif/greengrape, later recognised as semillon). It has been estimated by some that cinsaut arrived here around the mid 19th century – I can't remember why, right now, but I found evidence that it was here only from the 1880s.
Where it came from, I'm not at all sure (I don't know if anyone is – I'd love more info if anyone has any, about all these matters). If by any chance cuttings came from Australia rather than France, it would perhaps help explain why the locals gave it the name hermitage (or hermitake/hermityk, as it is still known by many Afrikaans grape-growers, says viticulturist Rosa Kruger.) That's because (I speculate) there could have been a mix-up with shiraz, which was widely known in Australia as hermitage. Calling shiraz hermitage involves a more reasonable association than calling cinsaut by that name – cinsaut is very much a southern French, Languedoc, variety.
But although there were definitely many varieties that did come here from Australia (including mourvedre, for example, and, I suspect, shiraz itself), this was mostly late in the 19th century, when one or two intelligent and aware viticulturists were about (especially at the state-owned farm, Groot Constantia). Who knows? (As I say – if anyone does, please tell me.)
Anyway, by the turn of the century, cinsaut was well established – if anything could be called well-established while phylloxera was still wreaking havoc, and adding to the huge woes of a very depressed industry.
Those woes were such as to lead to various governmental commissions of inquiry into the wine industry (remember: this was the Cape government; the Union of South Africa came only in 1910 – at which point the significance of the wine industry was to dwindle in governmental eyes). When I was researching for the history chapter of my book on South African wine, I read these commission reports and they give some fascinating insights into our vinicultural history.
For example, the rapid growth in plantings of cinsaut was explicitly linked (in a 1909 commission report) to the gold mines of the Transvaal. Apparently, "a large demand existed among the Natives on the mines in that country for Hermitage, sweetened and slightly fortified".
Note the past tense: "a large demand existed" – by 1909 it no longer existed. Why? Because of another interesting factor that tends to go unmentioned (I must say that hardly anyone ever seems at all interested in the fascinating history of wine in South Africa). The commission specifically links over-production/under-consumption of Cape wine to "the imposition of restrictions on the sale of liquor to Natives in the Transvaal".
This racially-based prohibition (which was to linger on for many, many decades) was not confined to the Transvaal: the commission notes that "the sale or supply of liquor to any coloured person is prohibited" in the Orange River Colony too, and an essentially similar situation applied in Natal. Even "in most districts of the Cape Colony itself restrictions prevail against the sale of wine and spirits to the original native".
Perhaps we should remember this bit of the past when we note how alien wine is to the culture of the majority of South Africans!
At this stage, of course, all of these little countries with their racist prohibition were British colonies. As I say in concluding my discussion of this in my book, "it hardly needs pointing out that racism did not leap forth new from the head of the National Party when it came to power in 1948".
So, at the beginning of the 20th century, there was already a significant amount of cinsaut about. Greengrape still dominated with around 40%. Steen (chenin blanc), white French (palomino) and red muscadel were also important, and now sauvignon blanc and cabernet featured too. But cinsaut was already in third place – and certainly the leading red variety. In time it was to become the most planted of all.
But I see that I digressed too much into social matters, and this blog is getting too long. The fascinating story of cinsaut in South Africa will be concluded next time.

Use of ketamine sparks controversy
Two controversial means of subduing unruly suspects hit the front pages of daily papers across the state this past week.
In one incident, officers shot and killed a man in an alley who allegedly had a gun. In other instances, police officers and emergency medical personnel are coming under criticism for using the drug ketamine to sedate people in emergency, dangerous situations.
It wasn't all that many years ago that the use of Tasers, an electric shock weapon, also known as a stun gun, also came under criticism as a means for subduing people.
The use of Tasers was promoted because they are, obviously, less dangerous than traditional hand guns. Tasers were intended to temporarily paralyze a person until officers could get them into restraints.
Unfortunately, as it turned out, in some cases, Tasers can trigger other medical responses, including fatal heart attacks. There were soon strict policies put in place to outline the use of the weapons.
The use of ketamine has become even more controversial, primarily because it is a drug that is administered without informed consent. Law officers supposedly encourage paramedics to use the drug to subdue agitated persons, who are often incoherent.
There are definitely ethical considerations regarding ketamine. Should police officers, who are not, of course, doctors, have the authority to ask medical personel to administer the drug? Should it be administered when a full medical history is unknown, and therefore pose more risks?
On the other hand, what are officers to do when faced with an out-of-control, possibly hallucinating or delusional person? What if that person is posing a peril to those officers or innocent bystanders?
As was the case of the high-speed chases that we outlined last week, there are no policies that can possibly cover every situation that will be encountered by first responders.
The question becomes, at what point does the risk outrank the benefits? Again, a question with no clear-cut, definitive answer. We can only hope that reason prevails over panic.
