Cannonball Read IV: Letters from an Unknown Woman by Gerard Woodward
By rdoak03 | Book Reviews | February 17, 2012 | Comments ()
One, where we meet our protagonist Tory Pace. The setting is the London area during World War II. Tory's life has become unknown to her- her children are evacuated and being fostered far away, her dry and humorless mother comes to live with her, she performs her war duty in a gelatin factory, and she learns her mild-mannered husband has become a prisoner of war. The major plot of this section revolves around a stern request (more of a demand) from her imprisoned husband that she write him racy letters as "an antidote to those horrors" of the war. She resists most forcefully until a chance meeting with a former boxing champion ignites her passion and gives her real-life dirty deeds to pen. However, if you are looking forward to the smutty bits, you will be disappointed! The content of Tory's letters is left to the imagination...but the results of her affair are not.
Part two chronicles the years when Tory's husband Donald returns from the prison camp. He is scarcely the man she married, having become depressed and secretive. This section moves somewhat slowly, focusing heavily on Tory's sons, Tom and Branson, and the trials of living with a hateful and mentally unstable man. Tory finds refuge in her new job as a restroom attendant and her new friendship with a woman named Grace.
Part three, the shortest of the sections, begins with Tory's discovery that her husband has taken her letters of "bedroom thoughts" and published them for an underground audience. Horrified, she regains her spunk and resolve. She reclaims some control of her household and relationships. The novel ends with the death of Tory's mother and the discovery of the woman's own titillating correspondence. We are left wondering if these letters give Tory permission (in her own mind) to write the requested follow-up to her original book of naughty letters.
This book was well-written and a quick read, with most of the characters clearly filled in. However, the ending was just too ambiguous for my taste. There is only a paragraph between the resolution of Branson's situation and the last sentence of the book, which seemed an abrupt conclusion to an otherwise well-paced and flowing read.
Overall, worth a look. Woodward captured my interest enough to check out some of his other works, including August, I'll Go to Bed at Noon, and A Curious Earth.

'Alcoholism gene' may be key to problem drinking
ALCOHOLISM could be in our DNA, experts have suggested, after a gene linked to excessive drinking was discovered by scientists.
A single mutation in the gene can scramble the chemical messages that inhibit drinking, compromising the body's ability to consume alcohol in moderation, researchers found.
Experiments on mice found that those with mutant copies of the Gabrb1 gene preferred drinking diluted alcohol over water, in contrast to those with normal genes.
The study, published in the 'Nature Communica-tions' journal, showed that the mice would drink so much alcohol that within one hour they would have trouble controlling their movements.
Although some humans drink excessively for a variety of reasons, the findings suggest that a few may be more genetically at risk of alcoholism, researchers said.
The scientists, from five UK universities, introduced several random mutations to the genetic code of mice before giving them a free choice between water and diluted alcohol.
They found that those with either of two mutations in Gabrb1 chose to consume almost 85pc of their daily fluids from the alcohol solution, while healthy mice drank little or no alcohol.
Those with the mutation were so keen to obtain the alcohol that they would push a lever to obtain it, even over long periods of time.
Dr Quentin Anstee, consultant hepatologist at Newcastle University and the joint lead author, said: "It's amazing to think that a small change in the code for just one gene can have such profound effects on complex behaviours like alcohol consumption.
"We know that in people, alcoholism is much more complicated as environmental factors come into play.
"But there is the real potential for this to guide development of better treatments for alcoholism in the future." (© Daily Telegraph, London)

I have used hypnotherapy mp3's from several different hypnotherapists in the past with limited results. Having listened to this mp3 by Darren Marks for only a week I cannot believe how calm, confident and in control I feel. At work I have felt self assured and not anxious as before. At home I have tackled jobs which I was previously overwhelmed by. I have also been sleeping better and feel more focused and relaxed.
I now look forward to "me time" listening to this hypnotherapy mp3 and enjoying a feeling of peace and calm which I haven't felt for a long time. Many thanks Darren.

The Joy of Owning Fallow Parrotlets
We have been breeding fallow parrotlets for the last 10 years. We now have the largest collection of fallow birds in the U.S.A. to date. We also have some of the rarest of the fallow parrotlet mutations you will find anywhere in the world.
The genetics of fallow parrotlet are very different than most of our other parrotlets. There is a fallow factor and or the fallow gene which changes and manipulates not only the color of the plumage but also of the eyes and sometimes the feet. The eyes could come out a bright red, just as red as the albino. Or better known as the ino gene. Fallow genetics hold color and can give you a bright red-eyed or a deep Ruby red-eyed color. The plumage on a fallow Parrotlet is often changed to gray, dark gray, tan, dark tan and also cinnamon.
The unique genetics of the fallow Parrotlet coupled with the knowledge of an advanced breeder can Produce a dark factor Parrotlet. This process can take up to two years or if everything goes well 18 months. We have produced dark factor Brown olive parrotlets. This process took us approximately 18 months and was worth the time and patience to produce such a bird. This could not have been accomplished without the genetic pool of the fallow Parrotlet. We now have a modest amount at this time of breeding stock to start the production of dark factor parrotlets in America. This process will take us at least another 18 months to two years to complete but the fruits of our labors will allow All-American breeders throughout the country to purchase some dark factor parrotlets. Thanks to the genetics of the fallow mutation and the breeding talents of Billy XTREEM.
We would now like to share some of the many different types of fallow parrotlets that we have developed here at extreme parrotlets.
- White fallow= genetics/Y/B/F
- Blue fallow= genetics/B/F
- Green fallow= genetics/G/Y/B
- Yellow fallow= genetics/Y/B/F
These are the basic color fallow mutations. We will now discuss the description of these beautiful birds. The white fallow is bright white with red eyes and usually, they will have clear nails and pinkish feet. The eye color can vary from bright red to dark Ruby red. We also have noticed some white fallow's you can actually see some of them male markings which would be blue but on the white fallow it is a very soft subdued powder blue. And on others, you would have to have it sexed to tell the difference.
But this does not hold true for the blue fallow. The blue fallow can have a white face or sometimes a white powder blue face and the male markings can be easily seen. There plumage is usually a dark gray silver on the back. It's blue plumage has been manipulated through the genetic manipulations of the fallow gene and or the fallow factor.
Let us now move on to the green fallow, the green fallow in some cases has a beautiful yellow face, dark blue markings above the eyes, bright red eyes and a beautiful green on the top of its head. And usually, you will have cinnamon plumage on its back.
Now we will move to the yellow fallow mutation. We have seen yellow fallow's that are super bright yellow, we have also seen yellow fallow's that are more like a banana yellow. The eyes of these beautiful parrotlets can be bright red and or dark Ruby red. The nails are colorless. Some of the yellow fallow mutations have white along the edges of their wings. The males have obvious blue markings on their wings. Due to the yellow fallow genetics in rare cases, the male will not show its markings and would have to be sexed. This process would give you positive ID on the bird.
We will now make mention of some of our rare and exotic fallow mutations. We have the unique cobalt cinnamon fallow pied Misty mutation, This is one rare Parrotlet you can see pictures of it in our picture gallery in the rare parrotlets section.
We also have the turquoise fallow pied, which is absolutely stunning in color. The turquoise fallow, dilute turquoise fallow, pastel fallow, and much more. All of our fallow mutations also come in pied. Meaning they are double factored genetic Parrotlet mutations. They are some of Xtreem parrotlets most unique and beautiful parrotlets for sale.
Most all of our fallow parrotlet mutations gets sold quickly. A lot of fallow mutations sold by Xteem Parrotlets are sold in Miami Florida. Several breeders in Miami Dade County Florida have contacted us within the last three years to purchase all of our available fallow Parrotlet color mutations. Some of the Miami breeders are putting parrotlets into their breeding programs. Some of them are breeding lovebirds and are looking to expand. That's where Xtreem Parrotlets come in. They are serious breeders and they know what they want and they have a plan of action to expand their horizons.
Xtreemparrotlets has been working with some of the Miami breeders and helping them cross that bridge and it's been our distinct pleasure in meeting these awesome breeders. There is definitely something going on in Miami Florida Dade County and we are glad to be part of it.
Xtreem Parrotlets have also sold our fallow mutations as well as our dark-eyed parrotlets to breeders in the state of New York. We have our parrotlets scattered about the five boroughs. Queens, Queens County New York, Brooklyn Kings County New York, Staten Island Richmond County New York, Manhattan New York County New York, Bronx County the Bronx New York and Suffolk County Long Island New York. Pet lovers, as well as breeders throughout New York, now have our parrotlets. Also, breeders and pet lovers alike in the state of New Jersey Atlantic County two of our clients live in Passaic New Jersey. We also have Xtreem Parrotlets in the state of Connecticut in Beacon Falls in New Haven County. and Avon Connecticut located in Hartford County. Xtreem Parrotlets have sold literally hundreds of Parrotlet mutations in 27 states in the U.S.A. We have sold parrotlets worldwide including the U.K. we also have parrotlet mutations in Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Thailand. We are now working on an ongoing negotiation with Brazil, breeders in Brazil want to purchase our fallow color mutations as well as many other parrotlet types. If you are reading this take the time and explore the rest of our website you will love it.
Keeping birds as pets can bring a lot of joy to a home. There are so many species from which to choose, each with its own unique characteristics and personalities. Some are very affectionate; many can imitate sounds and words; and some have beautiful singing voices.
Most bird lovers have their favorites, whether due to size, singing and talking ability or some other talent they have to offer. But there are some people who enjoy the uniqueness of a more rare bird species. Fallow Parrotlets are one such popular breed.
The first parrotlet to appear with such color mutations was a Pacific Parrotlet. It was basically a golden green bird with red eyes.For the sake of those who are not already bird owners or enthusiasts, a fallow parrotlet is a parrotlet that, due to mutations and special breeding, comes in a unique array of colorful markings not common to an ordinary parrotlet. They're also known for their "red eyes" although some have deep ruby-colored eyes.
The males have yellow faces with cobalt blue markings and the females, as with most birds, display less colorful markings. The fallow mutation is from a recessive gene, but it makes for the most interesting markings.
Xtreem Parrotlets offers one of the largest selection of fallow parrotlets in the U.S. We've taken the fallow mutation to a whole new level, through our Xtreem breeding techniques. We have the finest selection of these rare beauty's available.
We now have for sale:
- Green fallows
- Blue fallows
- Turquoise fallows
- White fallows
- Yellow fallows
- White pied fallows
- Blue Fallow turquoise pied (rare)
- White fallow turquoise pied (rare)
- Cobalt Cinnamon Fallow Pied "Misty" (Xtreemly rare)
- Dilute turquoise fallows
- Dilute turquoise fallows pied (Xtreemly rare)
and much more…
People love the parrotlets because they are of the same temperament and character as larger Parrots but are more manageable. There is less waste to clean up also. But the best difference is that these little "Mini Me's" don't squawk like most parrots. That is a major argument in their favor. If you have ever owned a parrot, you'll understand. Love the bird, but the squawk? Not so much!
If, however, you have a desire for one of these unique birds, the fallow parrotlets is a great exotic parrotlet to have as a pet and bond with. They can be taught to talk and do tricks and be a good companion bird. As noted above, birds can bring a great deal of joy and amusement into the lives of their owners. Having birds with unique markings like those found on rare fallow parrotlets is just one more pleasure for the pet owner wanting a companion bird and also the novice breeder as well as the serious breeder and collector of rare parrotlets.

I made it the night before serving and I'm proud to say I didn't add a single bit of sugar. The Zevia Ginger Ale that I used to mix the sangria is made with Stevia instead of sugar too, so I can practically say that this sangria is good for you. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but it sure doesn't hurt that there isn't a bit of sugar in here that's not from the fruit or the alcohol. No added artificial sugar certainly can't hurt, right? Stevia is probably my all time favorite sweetener because it's all natural and about twenty times sweeter than artificial sugar. I'm pretty sure that's why this sangria didn't need anything else to give it the sweet flavor I was looking for.
Honestly, for those of us who like to enjoy the occasional cocktail, the added sugar can be a killer. Why not enjoy the occasional drink with a little less sugar by using Zevia? Zevia Sodas would also be the perfect substitutes in a variety of different mixed drinks, especially with their variety of flavors.
But why not just try some for yourself? You can locate them at your local store HERE and let me know if you like the recipe below!
- 2 bottles Sauvignon Blanc
- 1/2 cup Malibu Rum
- 1/2 cup Peach Schnapps
- 1 liter Zevia Ginger Ale
- 1 whole pineapple diced
- 1 carton strawberries chopped
- 2 whole oranges sliced
- The night before serving, combine the rum, schnapps, wine, and cut fruit into a large two-gallon container. Chill overnight.
- The morning (or just before) serving, add the ginger ale and serve chilled. Enjoy!

text: Monkey has suddenly decided she wants to wear a bra. I think its because Mandy said something to her about her needing one soon. Why she said that I have no clue. Monkey also sees the girls in gymnastics wear those two piece outfits. Well the last time I had her she forced me to go buy her a couple of sets. Of course they hare nothing but flat fabric that look like a bra. I talked her out of the padded ones! I told her she had to have something to actually go in those before she could get them...lol. The ones I got her are very cute and she loves coming back to the house and taking off her shirt so everyone can see them...lmao. I can only imagine what her other family thinks. Several of them are sports bra's which make some sense. The other's look like real bra's. Personally I think some of this is that she dresses up so much in the pageants that she feels older. Heck in some of her outfits she looks like a young teen! I am going to hold off on make up unless its play stuff. Thankfully she isnt into painting her nails. Mouse just likes to get a hold of markers and draw all over everything. Last weekend when she was here she somehow got a hold of a permanent marker Tony had and scribbled all over my kitchen floor. And everyone wonders why I have the container of Monkey's crayons and markers put up where she shouldnt be able to reach them...lol.

There are two species of wine bloggers. Within each species, there are many breeds—reporter, diarist, taster, storyteller, etc.—which have analogs in the other. But the two species are very different animals.
For one species, wine blogging is part of a career in or around the wine industry. Their involvement with wine may not pay all the bills yet, but they seriously intend to make that happen. For the other, wine blogging is, and always will be, a hobby. They might hope to cover some costs and receive wine samples, but their blogging is really a pastime, a creative outlet, a way of sharing their experiences.
I'm not saying one species of blogger is better than the other, just that they are distinct. Their goals, outlooks, interests and approaches to blogging contrast clearly. The Wine Bloggers' Conference has always tried to serve both species. Each is addressed by certain activities within the programs. But the target audiences for seminars aren't overtly identified. Content doesn't give the impression of having been fine-tuned for either segment.
In retrospect, this is at the root of my frustrations with the conference and, I suspect, those of numerous "career bloggers" who have attended. We feel uncomfortable with multiple aspects of WBC that happen to have great appeal to hobbyists. And many careerists feel WBC doesn't offer them enough unique value to justify their time and travel expense.
My favorite non-tasting seminar at this past conference was Michael Larner's presentation on Terroir of Santa Barbara County. He was thorough, authoritative, focused and occasionally showed his dry humor. I found the session was very informative and time well spent. Unfortunately, there weren't more than 25 bloggers in the tent.
Why, in a conference taking place in Santa Barbara County, were there not more people eager to learn about Santa Barbara County? First, the career group, which has much greater interest in the details of soil, climate and geological history, is, at best, 20% the size of the hobbyist camp. Second, Michael's session was concurrent with two others, each having a title starting with "The Business of." If you're a career blogger, all three sessions have appeal. Which do you attend? If you're a hobbyist, none are particularly exciting. Do you grudgingly attend one or do you sleep in?
My favorite tasting seminar of the conference was "Syrah Territory: Ballard Canyon." It was instructive, allowed winemakers to address the audience directly and the wines were tremendous. The tasting seminar called "Dig In: Sta. Rita Hills" might have been even better. I'll never know. These two core seminars on Santa Barbara wine were presented simultaneously.
Many people enjoyed the panel discussion entitled "How the Pros Taste." I like and respect each of the panelists: Patrick Comiskey, Steve Heimoff and Joe Roberts. Much of the crowd enjoyed these gentlemen's interplay, stories, enthusiasm for particular wines and occasional nuggets about their tasting habits. But I and a few careerists sitting around me, writhed in frustration, wondering when Steve, Joe and Patrick would tell us how they actually approach tasting: their process, how they characterize tannins, how they weigh various criteria to reach an overall quality assessment, etc. That never happened, but the majority of attendees—the hobbyists—were entertained and left happy.
And then there's "live blogging." I loathe it. I understand a winery's desire for face-to-face time with many small sets of bloggers adn the benefit of having their brand trending on Twitter. I grok the revenue model for Zephyr. I can relate to the happiness and invigoration bloggers experience when learning and tasting so many new things in rapid-fire succession, and having to write/tweet about it under the pressure of 5-minute deadlines.
But I feel badly for the winemakers who can barely make themselves heard in a hall with hundreds of people talking at once. I wonder who, reading at home, can keep up with and benefit from the tidal wave of 80 character (plus multiple hashtags) "reviews." I mourn for my palate which is required to first taste a fortified wine, then a delicate white, then a pungent Sauvignon Blanc, then a neutral white from a box. Thank Dionysus for the occasional palate-resetting bubbly!
In Tuesday's article, I'll offer ideas for restructuring the conference to better serve both hobbyist and career bloggers.

A Tale of Two Conferences
- Blogging
- Written by Fred Swan
- Created on Sunday, 27 July 2014 19:19
In my last article, Cats and Dogs Blogging Together, I said there are two species of blogger: career bloggers and hobbyist bloggers. The North American Wine Bloggers' Conferences could serve each type of blogger better by acknowledging the differences and playing to those differences rather than continuing the current "one size fits all" strategy. Below are my specific proposals. I welcome your comments on them.
WBC currently has two classes of attendee: Citizen Blogger ($95 fee) and Industry Blogger ($295). Like Career Bloggers, Industry Bloggers make their living through the wine industry. However, most Industry Bloggers are employed by a particular winery or reseller so their focus is on promoting that employer rather than exploring and writing about a wide range of wineries and topics. I suggest creating a new category, specifically for Career Bloggers, with a $195 fee and maximum attendance of 50.
The higher fee will do three things. It will discourage Citizen Bloggers from signing up under that category. It will make them feel a little better about the exclusivity of Career Blogger activities. It will also subsidize those activities, allowing certain aspects to be upgraded, enabling a lower fee structure that might allow small producers to participate, and/or paying an honorarium to one or two speakers. Careful vetting of Career Blogger registrants will help ensure people sign up in the appropriate category.
Limiting the number of Career Blogger tickets will allow for quieter, more focused sessions, use of smaller rooms/wineries, easier transport for off-site events, and pouring lower production and/or more expensive wines. It will make networking between like-minded bloggers easier. Grouping attendees in this way may also introduce new sponsorship opportunities.
Attendee badges would be color-coded to easily differentiate between categories. There should still be events which all bloggers attend jointly, but several each day would be designated for Career Bloggers only. Industry Bloggers could attend those events but, for planning purposes, would need to register for each such event prior to the conference.
Career Bloggers should leave WBC with deep knowledge of the host area's terroir, history, wine styles and place in the market. This would be achieved through detailed seminars, extensive tastings and multiple excursions. Seminars should be focused, deliver on their title's promise and emphasize education over entertainment. Q&A with winemakers and growers is essential.
No regional seminars or AVA-wide tastings should be held concurrently with each other. Some excursions might. Details on excursions should be disclosed well before the conference though, and attendees given the opportunity to choose their destinations—no mystery tours.
Seminars, workshops and tastings not focused on the host region are also important. Topics might be very similar to those already offered, such as consumer research, the business of blogging, writing workshops, tasting techniques and tutorials on media, web tools, etc. Tastings from non-host regions should deliver educationally and feature high-quality—or, at least, very representative—wines. All sessions should be led by very well-prepared moderators and panelists. Most sessions ought to be interactive. There shouldn't be more than two such seminars running concurrently.
There should be no tasting of wines that come in bags, boxes or "paks." Ideally, unless it's a truly amazing value, there should be no tasting of wine that retails for less than $10. There could still be sessions where winemakers move from one small group of bloggers to the next. But each segment should be 10 minutes long, to allow for questions, and the groups of bloggers ought to be well separated so noise isn't an issue. If sweet or fortified wines will be poured, each blogger needs two glasses so that one wine doesn't color the next.
Removing some of the detailed and/or career-oriented components from the main WBC curriculum will allow for more events that Hobbyist Bloggers really enjoy. Add a third Live Blogging session. Add sessions where Hobbyist Bloggers interact with each other more, perhaps talking about what's going on in their home regions.
I realize pulling all this off successfully will require more work. And I'd also recommend having a separate advisory board just for the Career Blogger segment. In the end though, I think WBC will be better for the new structure and might recapture some of those career bloggers who are abandoning it.

Video Highlights of the Jancis Robinson Keynote - 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference
- Blogging
- Written by Fred Swan
- Created on Wednesday, 03 August 2011 00:47
Jancis Robinson delivered the keynote address at the 2011 North American Bloggers Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia on July 22. I have to compliment the organizers of #WBC11 for having landed her. It's hard to think of a more broadly respected wine writer, a more authoritative voice or someone who has been more successful at incorporating wine blogging, tweeting and site hosting into their repertoire of traditional media. For many bloggers in attendance, Jancis Robinson is a personal role model.
Jancis Robinson after her keynote at the 2011 North American Wine Bloggers Conference.
So it was that Ms. Robinson took the podium to the enthusiastic applause of 250+ attentive bloggers. (Getting that many bloggers to be attentive is a feat in itself.) After warning the audience her talk would probably not live up to the expectations we'd all built, Ms. Robinson went on to say her focus would be on topics she'd been given ahead of time. These had been taken from bloggers who sent questions ahead to the organizers.
Ms. Robinson provided her insights on a number of areas of interest to wine bloggers, sometimes getting laughs and frequently claps of approval, but always made tangible with personal anecdotes. One thing she did not do was take controversial stands or be strongly critical. She emphasized the importance of being friendly and inclusive if one wants to build and audience. Later she also mentioned that, in these days when everyone has a portable video camera, it doesn't pay to be too loose with one's words.
Speaking of portable video cameras, I recorded the entire session. Below, I've embedded eight video segments that I thought to be particularly interesting. I have not edited the segments, merely extracted them from the full-length recording to make it more convenient for you and to eliminate various moments of dead air, etc. I have also re-ordered them by topic.
Jancis Robinson was one of the first women, and the very first person outside "the trade," to become a Master of Wine. She also says she was the first person to host a television series about wine. It shouldn't be much of a surprise that, with JancisRobinson.com, she was one of the first prominent wine authorities to establish an online presence. In this clip, Ms. Robinson explains how that came about.
JancisRobinson.com is near the top on a very short list of the most extensive, interesting and useful wine sites on the web. I suspect her Purple Pages is also among the most highly subscribed. At the end of the session, I asked her how many staff people it takes to maintain her site and what her biggest challenge is with it.
Jancis Robinson is widely followed on Twitter as well. Shortly after the conference, she reached 100,000 followers. Here is what Jancis Robinson had to say about Twitter.
Ms. Robinson discussed the state of wine blogs as she sees it, their place relative to other media and their future.
She expanded on her discussion of wine blogs, explaining how bloggers can benefit from getting their work in print and by leveraging video.
Despite the explosion of wine blogs and forums, with their ease of publishing and ability to provide up-to-the-minute information, Jancis Robinson believes there is still a place for wine books. She's presently working on five. No, really. Five. Here are her thoughts on the future of wine books.
In response to a comment from Jancis Robinson regarding a lack of deep, investigative reporting on blogs, someone asked her which topics in the wine world most deserve such treatment.
There is so much blogging about wine and whining about blogging these days, it's impossible for anyone to standup and talk for an hour about either without spending time on a few well-worn paths. However, Jancis Robinson has achieved so much and her work is so respected that she adds new import to old topics. And she has the ability to declare some discussions over. To me, one such discussion is the notion of bloggers being a distinct breed of writer.
While early bloggers may have been virtual napkin scrawlers or personal online diarists, most wine bloggers today are much more. And if Jancis Robinson calls herself, among other things, a blogger, then the time for pigeon-holing, let alone denigrating, bloggers as a group is over. Everyone (including themselves) should simply call them writers. Now it's up to each of them to become the best and most responsible writer they can be.

Wine Bloggers in Action at the North American Wine Bloggers Conference
- Blogging
- Written by Fred Swan
- Created on Wednesday, 27 July 2011 21:54
I'll provide my thoughts on the 2011 North American Wine Bloggers Conference in a separate article soon, as well as separate articles on my perceptions of the Virginia wine world and Charlottesville, VA as I experienced them. But for now, please enjoy a few photos of wine bloggers in action at the conference.
Wine blogger and social media master turned winemaker Hardy Wallace (Dirty South Wine, @dirtysouthwine, @dirtyandrowdy) at the opening of the 2011 North American Wine Bloggers Conference in Charlottesville Virginia.
Was Hardy a) shocked that I had a camera, b) shocked that I didn't have a wine glass, c) hoping someone would squirt wine into his mouth from a boda bag or d) just being Hardy? I'm thinking all of the above. :-)
Wine writer, wine critic, wine blogger and overall font of wine knowledge Jancis Robinson MW (JancisRobinson.com, @jancisrobinson) takes notes during a session detailing the terroir of Virginia's wine country. Jancis has been not just an educator but an inspiration to countless people serious about wine. It was great to have her there.
Wine and Spirits magazine associate editor Luke Sykora shows more focus than my camera during the session on Virginia terroir at the 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference.
Luiz Alberto (The Wine Hub, @thewinehub) was illuminated by his screen and fueled by coffee Saturday morning while posting highlights from the Virginia terroir session on Twitter.
Co-organizer Joel Vincent (@joelvincent) tells us what's what before break-out sessions began on Friday in Charlottesville, Virginia. Always listen to people with halos.
Blogger Joe Herrig (Suburban Wino, @suburbanwino) captured the color of Cabernet Franc at Jefferson Vineyards outside Charlottesville, Virginia.
A bevy of bloggers and one giant head try to remain calm in the face of empty Riedel glasses at Jefferson Vineyards while winemaker Andy Reagan (far right) slowly backs away from the wineless writers.
Double Wine Blog Awards nominee Richard Jennings (RJonWine, @RJonWine) gladly accepts property from a wine thief in the barrel room at Pollak Vineyards in Greenwood, Virginia. Nick Dovel of Pollack aids and abets.
Richard's thorough, honest and provocative article on this most recent wine bloggers conference is an important read for those who attended this conference or have thoughts on attending those in the future. Through honest appraisals and the ensuing discussions we can help guide future conferences.

And Then There's This Blog
- Blogging

There are many different types of wine blogs. Some people write very personal blogs. They share not just their experiences, but their emotions. Others weigh in on industry controversies, or try to start them. Some offer witty commentary on news of the day while others spend weeks doing investigative research.
But there's another approach. Put 12 off-shore '"SEO specialists" with no subject matter expertise whatsoever in a room with a keyword generator and a web-translator. Tell them to write "unique content" in hopes of getting Google results that drive ad views. Sadly, the page quoted below came up in a search I did. So, I guess the strategy works.
Here are some insights on white wine from a site that shall not be named:
"Grapes are personally selected through the obstruct – thus the name. Grapes were relocated through the vehicle into your crusher-stemmer with a long handled fork. Grapes were smashed, constrained and chilly settled prior to becoming racked into fairly neutral French Wine red walnut drums."
I think the "red walnut drum" thing may start a trend. But will it be in winemaking or lounge music?

Allegrippis Trails ~ A New Video by SBA
(updated: Jul 30, 2011)
Last year I tried to ride these trails. But my cousin Eric and his wife Nancy could not go. These trails are fairly new and neither of us had ridden them yet. So I decided to ride closer to where I was staying in Selinsgrove, PA. But then they went the next week after I had gone home, and had such an awesome time that they went back like the next five weekends in a row. Then a couple other people I knew went and told me how awesome the trails were, and Andy ran into a bear there, that I could not wait to ride these trails.
Finally I got my chance during our annual trip to PA. I was going regardless of whether my cousin could go. But our schedules aligned. We would come from opposite directions. He from Pittsburgh and I from Selinsgove, and meet halfway at a place called Raystown Lake, which looks like a long fat winding river.
There's 30 miles of trails here, which were built by Trail Solutions, IMBA's professional trail building wing. You can find more info, including location and a map at my Trail Info Page.
I will say that these trails are very well built, and stay dry even when other trails in the area would be a muddy mess. But luckily we had great weather -- weather's always an issue in PA.

Dude, did you notice how the porcupines had eaten the benches there at that lookout? It was crazy. That trail system is like FATs but with much more potential for death. My uncle lives close to it and says they have airlifted 3 or 4 folks out of there. I loved it!

Yes, my cousin and I both noticed that. I thought, "What kind of animal eats that? Shit that's not even real wood!"

SBA..I am from Selinsgrove, now living in Raleigh. What is your conection to "the Grove?" Perhaps we know some of the same folks. If you haven't already done so, you should check out some of the singletrack near Weikert, Ingleby, and Coburn in Poe Paddy / Bald Eagle Wilderness area.

My wife is from there. Thanks, I'll check out those other trails next time I'm there. I've ridden in Bald Eagle. There's so much good riding up there.

I never fancied myself a nature photographer, but when you're somewhere so beautiful and unique, you can't help but want to take pictures of EVERYTHING. This little beach is part of Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville, Louisiana. The body of water behind me is Lake Pontchartrain, and if you squint at the horizon, you'll see the Causeway bridge which goes from the Northshore to the Southshore and onward to New Orleans.
We're getting little glimpses of fall here. The weather is still mostly hot, but we've had a couple of cool mornings. Maybe the beach is that last place people want to go when it's autumn, but that's when I feel like I can really enjoy it. No sunburns or sweating – sign me up!
I've talked about "unicorns" here before – dresses you love but, for whatever reason, they're difficult to find. I thought I was out of luck with this "Through the Bluebells Dress" from ModCloth. When they first introduced it back in the spring, my size went out of stock really fast, so I assumed I was out of luck. I searched eBay and swap groups, and still came up empty-handed. But guess what awesome thing happened – ModCloth brought it back! Is a "resurrected unicorn" a thing? Anyway, I don't own a lot of billowy clothes, so the sleeves are like a new toy. Hopefully I don't pass out from all the spinning…
Don't let the beauty of these cypress trees fool you – they're vicious! I hit my foot on one of the "knees," and broke my toe! I'm okay; it wasn't one of the important ones. Just a reminder to be careful out there!
Where are your favorite beaches? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for taking a walk by the water with me. Now you can say you saw a unicorn at the beach!

BBB - A+ Rating - the best there is
An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Origins Available: English, German
Flanders, which was an important trading partner and political ally of Britain during the Middle Ages. As a result of the frequent commercial intercourse between the Flemish and English nations, many Flemish migrants settled in Britain. In early times, people were known by only a single name. However, as the population grew and people traveled further afield, it became increasingly necessary to assume an additional name to differentiate between bearers of the same personal name. Occupational surnames were derived from the common trades of the medieval era. The surname Cant is an occupational name for a precentor, the leader of the singing of hymns in a cathedral or monastery. The surname is derived from the Old Norman French word cant, which in turn comes from the Old French word chant, which means singing or song.
Cant Early Origins
Fife where they held a family seat from very ancient times, of Flemish origin and arrived in Scotland about the year 1200 from Flanders.
Cant Spelling Variations
Cant Spelling Variations
Flemish surnames are characterized by a large number of spelling variations. One reason for this is that medieval English lacked definite spelling rules. The spellings of surnames were also influenced by the official court languages, which were French and Latin. Names were rarely spelled consistently in medieval times. Scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to specific spelling rules, and people often had their names registered in several different forms throughout their lives. One of the greatest reasons for change is the linguistic uniqueness of the Flemish settlers in England, who spoke a language closely related to Dutch. The pronunciation and spelling of Flemish names were often altered to suit the tastes of English-speaking people. In many cases, the first, final, or middle syllables of surnames were eliminated. The name has been spelled Cant, Kant, Cante and others.

text: HI all, I'm sure some of you have the 225 silver bag. But I never see the inside of this bag. Any chance for me to take a look inside out before I made my purchase decision??? I can only reserved it till 6pm today. I check out the reference library already, but most are 226/227. Are they exactly the same except the size? i.e. double chains/double flaps,etc. Very much appreciated if I can see photos of a 225!!!

Across the Table
Sunday, January 29, 2012, 10:35PM
Washington D.C.
I'm sitting here in a hotel room, getting ready to bring Ready Prep Go!, the TV show, back to life. If you don't already know the story, I shot a pilot for a cooking show based on what I've been doing in the classes. Weeks after doing that, I found out we were moving back to NY. I wasn't shootin' 13 episodes of anything at that point. So, like so many things in life, Ready Prep Go!, the show, had to wait its turn.
Wish me luck. And if you want to see the "sizzle reel," its here.

Heavy Metal Toxicity
By Heather McCauley Our bodies require a multitude of beneficial metals (trace elements) to function optimally. However, there are a number of heavy metals which pose numerous health concerns to our bodies when we are exposed to them. A heavy metal is defined as being at least five times denser than water and toxicity occurs when our bodies are unable to metabolize the metals (http://tuberose.com/Heavy_Metal_Toxicity.html). The metals include arsenic, lead, mercury and... Read More

In this tutorial we will be explaining the best way to add a gradient to the background of any webpage element using a method that improves page loading times over other method you may currently use simply by using CSS3 (with fall backs of course)
As designers we all use gradients in backgrounds all the time. To add texture to our designs or make our menu button look fancy for example.
Up until recently this has always been done with images and the most effect method involved just a small slice of a gradient image repeated up or across the image we are adding the background too. However this method involves loading the image (bandwidth) as well the server having to handle the request to get the image (HTTP requests). If we can remove these request particularly for popular website with large amounts of web traffic we should really be trying to do so.
Firstly we still need to make up the background image as we did in the past. This will only be used for browsers that are non-compliant. And we still embed it in the CSS stylesheet same as before.
/* fallback/image non-cover color */
background-color: #1a82f7;
/* fallback image */
background-image: url(images/fallback-gradient.png);
This helps us to degrade gracefully in the event we hit a browser we hadn't planned for. Rather than rendering the gradient it will using the image instead.
Then all we have to do is add the gradient rendering CSS code:
body {
/* fallback/image non-cover color */
background-color: #1a82f7; /* fallback image */
background-image: url(images/fallback-gradient.png);
/* Firefox 3.6+ */
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#2F2727, #1a82f7);
/* Safari 4+, Chrome 1+ */
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#1a82f7), to(#2F2727));
/* Safari 5.1+, Chrome 10+ */
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#2F2727, #1a82f7);
/* Opera 11.10+ */
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(#2F2727, #1a82f7);
Now when a browser loads the page it will look at the CSS it has and see the gradients and loads them instead of the images we used to use but if it can't understand the gradient codes it will then render the image. Failing that it loads the background color.
Note: As the image is removed if you change the size of the element the gradient will change to match the size of whatever it is applied too.
6 Responses to CSS3 Website Background Gradients
Hi, I was just wondering, which portion of your gradient code applies to IE? I see all major browsers listed except this one. Thanks for your help!
IE is covered but due the way its filters work, the filter was deliberately left out. With the IE filters if you wish to apply more than one filter to an element it will apply the first filter it encounters and ignore that the rest exist. So if someone were to apply a drop shadow around there element as well as the gradient (which is a very common combo) they would not acheive their desired effect so with this code IE gradient is still handled by an image through the fall back method. This leaves people the option to add a filter for something else to it.
Unfortunately IE likes to be a pain like that.
I saw a lot of website but I conceive this one has something extra in it. "When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing." by Enrique Jardiel Poncela.
I enjoyed reading your pleasant website I see you offer priceless info stumbled into this website by chance but I'm sure glad I clicked on that link You definitely answered all the questions I've been dying to answer for some time now Will definitely come back for more of this.
And also traveling to this webpage for quite a while right now, when i find it difficult to imagine the excellent details you're writing about! You do have a routine visitor to your site in me!

More Thomas Jungle Book – 2
- Last week, I posted the first part of a scene Frank Thomas animated for The Jungle Book. This is the second scene offered that involved the boy, Mowgli, and Kaa, the snake.
This scene follows one I posted several months back. (The two come in the film with only a closeup of Kaa separating them.)
The 103 drawings in the scene will have to be broken into three parts, so you can expect the last third next week.
Once again, many thanks go to John Canemaker for allowing me to share these on line.
I begin with the last of the drawings up last week, #33:
(Click any image to enlarge.)
The Following QT movie is of the complete scene.
I love how he shakes his head and mouths the word "No"
just prior to wrenching his hand from Kaa's grip.
Click left side of the black bar to play.
Right side to watch single frame.

Same problem here:
Clicking on drawing #59 to enlarge it and it goes back to drawing #50.
This is the link currently attached to the small image of #59:
Change the last set of numbers in that link from 2050.jpg to 2059.jpg

This post and the similar break-downs that have been posted before have got me wondering:
Do you think any CG animators will ever achieve the same (or similar) notoriety that hand-drawn animators such as Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston have achieved? So much so that bloggers in the future will pick their shots out of movies to examine them frame-by-frame? I ask because CG is the animation medium I'm choosing to work in, but there seems to be a certain distance between the animator and animation.
I guess it's because hand-drawn requires two major skills: drawing and animating. CG is purely animating, since there's a constant "puppet" to work with that never changes. That's my best guess why hand-drawn seems to be the most personable medium and the one that lends itself best to name recognition. But still, I'd love to see some CG animators really emerge as leaders, like the Nine Old Men.
on 06 Jan 2010 at 8:54 am 7.Michael said …
I have written my thoughts about this in the past (and have been killed for it). No, I don't think the cg animator will gain as much acclaim as 2D animators of the past. Animation in cg seems to me to be the art of redoing something over and over until you get something close to what you'd like to have done. And then you hand it over to others to draw the "skin" the "lighting" of the character, etc.
2D animators animate the characters and then do minor touchups. They then hand it to a human inbetweener. It's not a computer completing any of the work for you. The inbetweens are done by a thinking person – full of exaggerations, errors, individual choices. They add to the life.
There are too many scenes in The Princess and the Frog that could not have been done by a computer without challenging the system. Nothing similar is being done by ANY cgi producer.
on 06 Jan 2010 at 5:28 pm 8.Sam said …
But what´s wrong in doing something over and over until you get something close to what you'd like to have done?
on 06 Jan 2010 at 5:40 pm 9.Michael said …
You're doing it over and over to try to trick the computer into doing what you're hoping it will do. That's not art; it's the art of compromise. When you animate with a pencil, you draw the images and create the movement. The computer does little more than record it rather than interact with you on creating it.
on 06 Jan 2010 at 6:01 pm 10.Sam said …
OK, I guess I got the point: you do something over and over until the COMPUTER get something close to what you´d like YOU had done, right?
on 06 Jan 2010 at 8:03 pm 11.Sam said …
But I´m not sure if I agree with that. I think it´s an art making those computer data evoke your emotions as believable characters.
on 07 Jan 2010 at 8:39 pm 12.Sam said …
Could somebody tell me why some of the drawings from this scene are numbered along with letter A?
on 08 Jan 2010 at 12:48 am 13.Michael said …
Sam, they're probably numbered with an "A" because they were added to the scene after the fact. The drawings precede the others and extended the opening of the scene for Frank Thomas. Rather than renumber all of the drawings he just changed the numbers of these few.
Numbering systems that use the simplest logic are the best.

Anyone know why Kaa has a different design in each of the two sequences where he appears?

Great ?V I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related info ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Reasonably unusual.

I have not changed a single thing on the site since last month's report where I SILOed the site and topped its content up. As the domain is still within what I class as its sandbox period I expected little to nothing for this month.
As you can see from the analytics screenshot above, traffic has remained similar to previous months not breaking the five hits per day. The data drop for the five days towards the back of the month was actually due to me updating the domains theme and not replacing the Google Analytics code in the themes header rather than the domain dropping out of the SERPs as I first thought.
SERP Rankings
The screenshot above shows the rank tracker data for the site on average since creation. As you can see it has remained relatively steady to date with little to no movement. That being said, some individual pages have had some initial SERP position climbs.
The screenshots above show the three pages that have shows significant jumps in SERP position on the site that have remained steady throughout the month of April. There are also a number of other pages with smaller jumps and some that are fluctuating between various possitions.
Domain Income
The site has not earned any commissions for the month of April.

Relive Wes Craven's Scariest Movie Moments
Written by Spencer Blohm
With the recent passing of Wes Craven, the world lost a true genius in the horror genre. Not only is Craven responsible for some of the most iconic characters and of the horror realm, but he was repeatedly instrumental in the revitalization of the genre over the years. In honor of Craven and his creative genius, we are taking a look back at five of his scariest and most iconic movie moments.
Trailer Attack — The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
An extended, All-American family vacationing with a travel trailer on their way to California. They make the fateful mistake of straying from the main road, break down in the desert, and are preyed upon by a group of deranged and cannibalistic people who live in the surrounding hills. This scene is considered the most iconic of the film for its climactic reveal of just how monstrous the group they have encountered really is when two of the savages attack the trailer, torture and kill some of the women, and take the baby because they suspect she'll be good to eat. While the cannibals are mentioned and even described earlier in the film, this is the first real glimpse views get of them, and it's an extremely graphic and violent one at that.
Opening Scene — Scream (1996)
This opening scene sets the stage for some of Craven's best meta-narrative sequences. Casey discusses her fondness of scary movies over the phone with her soon-to-be killer and then is forced to answer movie trivia questions in an attempt to save her boyfriend and herself. While not particularly gory or graphic – until you get to Casey's untimely death – the tension build up alone pulls the audience into the film and sets the stage for what's to come. The first fifteen minutes of Scream, following through to Casey's parents return home, encompasses a classic horror scene well known by all, even those who aren't fans of the genre.
Tina's Murder — A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
The supernatural element of A Nightmare on Elm Street is enough of a creep factor to begin with – a killer who seems to have returned from the beyond to continue his reign of terror through the his victims' nightmares. This scene is by far the most iconic, and arguably scariest, moment of any Nightmare film. Giving us our first glimpse of the notorious horror movie mad man, Freddy Krueger, the suspense of knowing that Freddy could kill Tina at any moment should have had us running. But it's the game of cat and mouse he so wickedly plays with Tina before savagely murdering her in her sleep in front of her panicked and muddled boyfriend that keeps us glued to the screen for the long run.
Deaths of Mari and Phyllis — Last House on the Left (1972)
Extremely graphic and reminiscent of the Vietnam War footage being played on the television every night at the time of its making, this film and this particular scene are hard to watch as two teenage girls who ventured into the big city for a concert are kidnapped, raped and tortured before being murdered and dismembered by psychotic escaped prison inmates. After being taken to the woods, Phyllis at one point almost gets away. Just as quickly as we gained this slight sense of hope that she might make it, it's ripped away and she meets her killers for the final time. While certainly not the last of the graphic and gory scenes in the movie, it is the most realistic and thus the scariest. Many even refer to this excerpt as the most horrifying and shocking sequence of Craven's entire career.
"Don't bury me, I'm not dead" — The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
A change of pace from Craven's usual slasher films, The Serpent and the Rainbow returns to the zombie myth. The film is set in Haiti and tells a tale of black magic, a powerful drug, and a process that brings the dead back as zombies. This scene is one of the scariest as it details the main character's descent into madness induced by the drugs that character sought to investigate. As he slowly slips into a coma knowing he's going to wake up underground, he utters this now iconic line, marking this scene forever in the memories of Wes Craven fans. The notion that these people are being buried alive really ups the ante of this film and scene, bringing the fear from fantasy to reality, in that who isn't afraid of being buried alive?
Although we lost the legend himself, we can at least be consoled through the legacy of his films, most of which are available for viewing on demand and regularly played on cable TV (check here). Over four decades, Craven directed some of the scariest and most gut-wrenching films in horror movie history and it's through them, he, his creative genius and his originality will live on forever.

Food fight leads to injury, arrests
Mon., June 4, 2007
AURORA, Ill. – A high school senior accused of starting a massive food fight that left a police officer injured was among three students arrested in the prank.
At least 200 students were in West Aurora High School's cafeteria when french fries, milk, sandwiches and pizza slices were hurled in a free-for-all, authorities said.
"It was just insane," said senior Zach Little, who was in the cafeteria when the melee began Thursday. "Things like milk cartons, full pop bottles and blue slushies were flying around."
The alleged instigator, Demetrius Oglesby, 18, faces a felony charge of resisting arrest after authorities said he ran from a police officer. The officer tripped over another student who had fallen during the food fight, breaking his foot. A school official also suffered minor injuries.
Two juveniles also face misdemeanor charges from the incident, including a 15-year-old charged with mob action and disorderly conduct and a 14-year-old charged with assault.
Students said rumors of the food fight had been circulating throughout the 3,000-student school all week as a senior prank.
Administrators increased security at the school 30 miles west of Chicago and closed the cafeteria on Friday. The lunch area will remain closed today, the last day of classes.

May of you will recall that in February I decided to shelve several projects until I could figure out what I wanted to do with them.
Well, I finally came to some conclusions about at least two of them.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about it and I decided that it wasn't writing the tutorials and eBooks that I didn't enjoy (because I did enjoy writing them) but rather marketing and selling them as well as the self imposed schedule I was trying to keep myself on. So, all the eBooks formerly for sale will now be freely available in the tutorials section of my website. I will still continue to publish tutorials and eBooks (although without the self imposed schedule) but I have decided that selling eBooks through my site and blog is not a direction I want to go in after all. I would much rather make the information freely available. For those of you who purchased them and are unhappy with this change please contact me privately via email (alison [AT] elizabethanmafia [DOT] com) and I will do whatever I can to make it up to you.
After enjoying a bit of a break I have decided that I will be taking up commissions again but I will be tightening up my schedule and instituting a strict "no more than one commission at a time" rule. I will also be instituting a new set of policies for commission projects which I will be posting in a detailed "Commission Policies" section to my site.

Exciting news, I finally own my first adult rug! I got the Texa rug in fog gray from Article. I replaced our worn out cotton rug that I had purchased online several years ago, it was tired and I was ready for a change. Honestly, it was never really warm enough under our feet because we have concrete floors and it was thin canvas, sure I could have got an underpad, but those are so annoying when you want to vacuum.
The old rug had a bold pattern that was a big feature in the room, (see photo below) it kind of overwhelmed the space, so needless to say, I was looking to get rid of it to make the space calmer. That's why I love the Texa rug.
I've been minimalizing my life over the past couple of years, you can read more about that in this blog post, and the Texa rug really brings a sense of calm into the room, no more crazy patterns, it feels so clean.
The Texa is so cozy, while I love having concrete floors, in the winter they get super chilly so covering our living space with this luxurious handmade wool rug was the perfect decision.
Because we live in an open plan loft, it's important to define each space with furniture or rugs. It's also important to make sure the rug is the right size. I knew an 8×10 would be perfect because the rug I had before was that size, but it's a good idea to measure your space, mark it out with tape if necessary. You need to ground all the furniture in your space, so the rug should at least go under the front legs of your sofa and your side chairs should ideally sit fully on the rug. We got the 8×10, but it's also available in a 5×7. It fits perfectly under the front legs of our Ceni sofa and our 2 vintage chairs fit on it entirely. I can't stop walking on it barefoot, it's soooo soft.
The Texa is thick and very soft, I know I've said it's soft already, but it really is, I may have rolled around on it as soon as I took it out of the package, seriously it feels amazing!
Here's a shot of it with the corner flipped over so you can see the quality, the back is lined and the edges are finished so nicely. I really love the mix of warm and cool grays woven into it, I went with these colours because it should hide dirt well and be fairly low maintenance, plus it just works so well with our existing decor.
I'd say that the colour and texture are pretty much exactly what you'll see on Article's website, so you get what you see online. Of course, it will look different depending on if you have natural light or not. I shot the close-up of the rug above from a different angle to the shot below to show you how the texture can look different depending on light direction, I personally love that! Overall this rug is a beautiful neutral that can work in just about any room and the quality is amazing.
Disclosure: Article provided this Texa rug in exchange for an honest review. All words and opinions are my own.
