Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
"Quilceda Creek...makes Cabernet of unrivaled finesse. This small winery...has the best track record of any Washington winery...No other Washington Cabernet is as graceful yet profound."
Matt Kramer
The L.A. Times
"Make no mistake about the Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignons - they are world-class Cabernets that compete with the finest wines from Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Sonoma and Santa Cruz Mountains."
Robert M. Parker Jr.'s
The Wine Advocate
A large and geographically diverse AVA capable of producing a wide variety of wine styles, the Columbia Valley AVA is home to 99% of Washington state's total vineyard area. A small section of the AVA even extends into northern Oregon!
Because of its size, it is necessarily divided into several distinctive sub-AVAs, including Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley—which are both further split into smaller, noteworthy appellations. A region this size will of course have varied microclimates, but on the whole it experiences extreme winters and long, hot, dry summers. Frost is a common risk during winter and spring. The towering Cascade mountain range creates a rain shadow, keeping the valley relatively rain-free throughout the entire year, necessitating irrigation from the Columbia River. The lack of humidity combined with sandy soils allows for vines to be grown on their own rootstock, as phylloxera is not a serious concern.
Red wines make up the majority of production in the Columbia Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety here, where it produces wines with a pleasant balance of dark fruit and herbs. Wines made from Merlot are typically supple, with sweet red fruit and sometimes a hint of chocolate or mint. Syrah tends to be savory and Old-World-leaning, with a wide range of possible fruit flavors and plenty of spice. The most planted white varieties are Chardonnay and Riesling. These range in style from citrus and green apple dominant in cooler sites, to riper, fleshier wines with stone fruit flavors coming from the warmer vineyards.
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe. Inherently high in tannins and acidity, the best bottlings of Cabernet can age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in temperate climates like Bordeaux where it forms the base of the Medoc reds. These blends are typically mostly Cabernet with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. (Enjoying a great deal of success in various regions around the world, this blend is now globally referred to as a Bordeaux Blend.) Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley is responsible for some of the world's most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after "cult" wines.
Tasting Notes for Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry red wine rich in color, tannin and extract. It expresses notes of blackberry, cassis, plum, currant, spice and tobacco. In the Old World you'll often find the more earthy side of Cabernet. In warmer regions like California, Washington, Argentina, Chile and Australia, you can typically expect more upfront fruit flavors.
Perfect Food Pairings for Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is right at home with rich, intense meat dishes—beef, lamb and venison, in particular—where its opulent fruit and decisive tannins make an equal match to the dense protein of the meat. With a mature Cabernet, opt for tender, slow-cooked meat dishes.
Sommelier Secrets for Cabernet Sauvignon
Despite the modern importance and ubiquity of Cabernet Sauvignon, it is actually a relatively young variety. In 1997, DNA profiling revealed the grape to be a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc which took place in 17th century southwestern France.

Last year I almost drowned when I fell into an old well. The well was full of water because it had rained for two days.
I don't understand the problem you are having here.
'drowned' and 'fell' : past tense
'was' : past tense
then : the well was full of water at the time when he fell, because before that - two days previous to that - further back in time and the reason why the well was full : 'it had rained'
Perhaps you can post one of these long passages that are confusing you.

The NeoLucida XL: Even easier to trace what you see.
The NeoLucida is a modern reinterpretation of the camera lucida, a 19th century optical drawing aid. It superimposes an image of your subject onto your paper. You see your pencil and your subject at the same time. Trace what you see!
Back on Kickstarter!
In 2013, along with fellow Art Professor Golan Levin, I launched the NeoLucida project on Kickstarter. Our goal was to make this amazing—but obsolete—tool available again. We hoped there was a small group of art/tech/history nerds like us who might want to try a camera lucida, but couldn't afford a vintage one. To our surprise, over 11,000 (!) backers helped us make many more NeoLucidas than we ever planned. Most had never heard of a camera lucida; they just wanted to draw and the NeoLucida gave them an entry point. We scaled up production by bringing Kickstarter veterans Big I Design on board as manufacturing partners. We even won a prestigious Core77 Design Award along the way! There are now over 25,000 NeoLucidas helping people in 90 countries draw from real life.
"Um, this is hard!"
One thing became clear from the feedback. People said, "This is harder than I thought!" We said, "We know!" After all, the original NeoLucida copied the prism design of vintage 19th century camera lucidas, which made sharp, clear images, but has a tiny viewing area. To us, it supported the idea that great artists of the past were still incredibly skilled; using a tool wasn't "cheating." This was a provocative media archeology project: NeoLucida users could test what it was like to be an artist 200 years ago.
But thousands of people were just excited by using a tool that might make drawing a little less frustrating. Many people appreciated the art history story, but they just wanted to draw. Maybe they used to draw and gave up as a teenager. Maybe they never learned to draw but always wanted to. Many parents wanted to support their kids' creative impulses. The NeoLucida offered an accessible and inexpensive motivation to draw.
I was inspired. Years of lecturing and running NeoLucida drawing workshops in a half-dozen countries gave me direct exposure with hundreds of aspiring artists. With all the feedback in mind, I went back to the drawing board.
After two years of research and testing prototypes, the NeoLucida is back! People asked for a larger viewing area, but why stop there? The all new design has an extra large viewer to make drawing from life just a bit easier. Say hello to the NeoLucida XL.
First, A Little Art History.
If you wanted to make a realistic image in the days before photography was invented, you had to draw it.
For centuries, artists and inventors developed clever optical drawing instruments to assist with the difficult task of drawing from real life. Devices with mirrors, lenses, and prisms helped with the most challenging part of drawing: flattening a three-dimensional world into the two dimensions of your paper.
Drawing would be so much easier if you could hold up a piece of glass to your subject and trace its likeness directly onto the flat glass. Your page and your subject would be aligned; you wouldn't have to look away from your subject to see your drawing. Simple devices like the Sighting Grid did precisely this. Instead of glass, a grid of wires made a reference plane.
Sighting Grids were accurate, but slow and cumbersome. As optical technology advanced from the early 17th century onwards, artists and inventors found ways to project images onto paper for tracing. The most advanced of these technologies was the camera lucida, invented by scientist Sir William Hyde Wollaston in 1807. A prism acts like a beam-splitter: part of your vision is directed towards your subject, part towards your paper. This overlap makes it possible to trace directly from real life.
The NeoLucida XL borrows from this tradition of simple, effective drawing instruments, but leveraging some modern technology to make a simple and inexpensive version of these ancient tools.
Want a little more history and a look at the vintage tools that inspired the NeoLucida? Check out this chat and demo with Norman Chan of Adam Savage's Tested.com:
How does it work?
The main suggestion we got for the original NeoLucida was: "Can't you just make the prism bigger?" Actually, no. When you look into the prism, you look at the exposed edge of the prism. It doesn't matter how big the prism is, you still look at the edge. And as the prism gets bigger, the more the image shifts when you move your head. This is bad for tracing (trust me, we made and tried larger prisms. No good). To make the viewing area bigger, the NeoLucida would have to be completely redesigned. Ditch the prism and find other materials to create the ghost reflections.
The NeoLucida XL uses mirror and glass to combine a virtual ghost image of your subject and the real view of your hand. Setting it up is easy:
- Clamp the NeoLucida XL to a table or sturdy drawing board.
- Bend the adjustable gooseneck so that the viewer is facing your subject and positioned over your paper.
- Look straight down into the viewer to see your page and a ghost image of your subject superimposed.
- Trace what you see!
Part of your vision goes through the glass to your pencil. Simultaneously, part of your vision bounces off the glass, then the first-surface mirror, then out to your subject. The result is a ghost image on your page.
Look down into the NeoLucida XL and a ghost image of your subject appears on top of your page.
Here's an actual view through the NeoLucida XL. You can see your hand and your subject superimposed. This drawing only took 4 minutes, but proportion and perspective are rendered accurately. Tracing really works!
No matter your skill level, the NeoLucida XL helps you make more accurate drawings. Proportion—the relationships between elements of your subject—and perspective—accurate rendering of space—are laid out for you in the ghost image. You can even compose your scene before you draw so your subject fits on your paper the way you want it to. All of this means you can focus on the most important part of drawing: putting pencil to paper. Controlling a pencil to make beautiful lines takes practice. With the NeoLucida XL, you spend less time on laying out your drawing and more time drawing.
Special Features
The basic elements in the NeoLucida XL are simple enough: A piece of glass and a mirror placed at a certain angle to each other. This arrangement is the same as it was in the early 19th century. After testing dozens of samples and prototypes, we've developed the NeoLucida XL to be the best version of the glass-and-mirror camera lucida ever made.
Glass and Mirror. The quality of the glass and the mirror are key to make the camera lucida ghost image as sharp and clear as possible. The mirror we use is a First Surface mirror. Typical mirror is made with a reflective surface applied to the rear of a piece of glass. This is how most commercial mirrors are made. Because the light travels through the glass to get to the mirror, there are additional reflections from the glass surface and tiny distortions from scattering light. This isn't usually a problem for your bathroom mirror, since the mirror is thin and you're not standing that close to it. But if you want a precise reflection with your eye up close to it, you need a sharp reflection. Usually used in scientific applications, a first surface mirror has only one surface reflecting light rays. One surface exposed, one crisp reflection.
Portability. Making the NeoLucida viewer larger makes drawing easier, but it also makes the device bulkier. To make the NeoLucida XL as portable as the original NeoLucida, the glass-and-mirror viewer neatly folds into a flat package. Slide it into the custom pouch provided, and toss it in your bag with your art supplies. Easy! The folding action also protects the glass and mirror inside a sandwich of hard plastic to keep the delicate optics safe while in transit.
Legacy Support. The NeoLucida XL is an all new optical design, but it uses the same adjustable gooseneck from the original NeoLucida. If you have the original NeoLucida, you can swap viewers between the gooseneck stands. Save space! Carry both NeoLucida viewers but only one clamp!
Lighting Control. The NeoLucida XL comes with a removable shader to help balance the lighting. It's like custom sunglasses for your NeoLucida! Is the page too bright to see the ghost image? Insert the shader in the bottom slot to dim the image of your page. Is your subject too bright and you can't see your page? Insert the shader in the forward position. When you're not using it, store the shader in the rear of the NeoLucida XL viewer.
A little easier for the little ones. I have two daughters who love to draw, but they couldn't use the original NeoLucida. At 8 and 4 years old, the NeoLucida's requirements of precise eye placement with a tiny prism made it frustrating to them. The NeoLucida XL isn't a toy, but it was made with kids in mind. I've tested it with kids and found that, depending on the skill level, children as young as 6 and 7 can draw with the NeoLucida XL!
Almost every child draws. But many give up in their teenage years when drawing skills don't seem to improve. Practicing with tools like the NeoLucida XL to advance skills can help keep kids drawing into adulthood.
Backed by Primary Research
The NeoLucida XL isn't just a product, it's the result of years of primary research. As an art professor, the NeoLucida is part of a decade of research into the relationship between technology and art history. I have one of the most complete camera lucida collections in the world, and have used this personal collection to reverse engineer both the original NeoLucida and the NeoLucida XL.
The glass-and-mirror design is inspired by several different historical designs. The desire to draw more accurately from life is an old one; 19th century finely crafted brass devices and mid-20th century toys all responded to demand from aspiring artists.
(Prices include WORLDWIDE shipping!)
Let's get drawing!
Who's behind this?
I'm Pablo Garcia, Associate Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and the history of drawing and technology is my life. I've spent a decade researching historical and contemporary drawing techniques and tools. I have over 30 different camera lucidas spanning 200 years, making it one of the largest and most complete private collections of its kind in the world. I also run drawingmachines.org, a growing archive reference site covering 600 years of drawing technology. With Golan Levin, I made the award-winning NeoLucida in 2013, earning over $424,000 from 11,406 backers in our first-ever Kickstarter. I also exhibit art and lecture about art, design, and technology. Find out more here. Or tweet me!
Manufacturing partner Big Idea Design is Chadwick Parker and Joe Huang. Veterans of 21 Kickstarter campaigns, Big Idea Design has earned over $1.4 million from their high-quality titanium pens and clever tool designs. As manufacturing partners for the original NeoLucida, Big Idea Design helped us scale from a few hundred planned units to tens of thousands after our Kickstarter went viral.

Risks and challenges
We've made over 25,000 prism NeoLucidas in the last three years. We've got our manufacturing process down, and I have been to China several times to oversee production. So are we confident that the NeoLucida XL will be delivered as promised? Yes. But there are some new challenges we have our eyes on:
• The new NeoLucida XL has some moving parts the original NeoLucida didn't have. When we get to producing molds there is a chance that parts don't fit or move smoothly. We have a plan to do final prototype modeling before we invest in the injection molds, but if there are problems, there's a chance for a delay if we need to make new molds.
• The glass and mirror are thin and very precisely cut to be as flat as possible. This gives the truest image for tracing. We have planned for a higher-than-usual spoilage rate before we assemble the NeoLucida XL to account for possible irregularities and damage as we produce and package the NeoLucida XL.
But our team is battle-tested and have been manufacturing high-quality NeoLucidas together for three years. We are ready for this newest phase of the NeoLucida Project!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

No. 91,915
ERIC AND RYAN MONTOY, et al.,
STATE OF KANSAS, et al.,
Proposed Intervenor/Appellant.
1. Intervention is a matter of judicial discretion. Judicial discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the trial court.
2. The right to intervene under K.S.A. 60-224(a) depends on the concurrence of (1) a timely application, (2) a substantial interest in the subject matter, and (3) a lack of adequate representation of the intervenor's interests.
3. The requirement for "timely application" to intervene has no application under K.S.A. 60-224(a)(2) until such time as adequate representation ceases.
4. If a trial court reaches the right result, its decision will be upheld even though the trial court relied upon the wrong ground or assigned erroneous reasons for its decision.
Appeal from Shawnee district court; TERRY L. BULLOCK, judge. Opinion filed January 3, 2005. Affirmed.
Alan L. Rupe, of Kutak Rock LLP, of Wichita, argued the cause, and Richard A. Olmstead, of the same firm, and John S. Robb, of Somers Robb & Robb, of Newton, were with him on the brief for appellees Eric and Ryan Montoy, et al.
Ira Dennis Hawver, of Ozawkie, argued the cause, and Bret D. Landrith, of Topeka, was with him on the brief for proposed intervenor/appellant Kansans for the Separation of School and State.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
ALLEGRUCCI, J.: Kansans for the Separation of School and State appeals from the district court's memorandum decision and order denying its motion to intervene. An order denying an application to intervene is a final appealable order. State ex rel. Stephan v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 253 Kan. 412, Syl. ¶ 1, 856 P.2d 151 (1993).
The sole issue we must decide is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying appellant's motion to intervene.
On December 18, 2003, appellant filed a motion to intervene in Montoy v. State, Shawnee County District Court Case No. 99-C-1738. In a memorandum decision and order that was filed February 13, 2004, the trial court denied intervention. Appellant filed its notice of appeal on March 1, 2004.
Intervention is a matter of judicial discretion. Mohr v. State Bank of Stanley, 244 Kan. 555, 561, 770 P.2d 466 (1989). Judicial discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the trial court. Varney Business Services, Inc. v. Pottroff, 275 Kan. 20, 44, 59 P.3d 1003 (2002).
K.S.A. 60-224 (a) provides:
"Upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) When a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene; or (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and he is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter substantially impair or impede his ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties."
Appellant sought to intervene under subsection (2), claiming an interest relating to the property or transaction that is the subject of the action. The district court denied appellant's motion to intervene for the following reasons:
"The Kansas Supreme Court set forth three factors that must be present to allow intervention: '(1) timely application; (2) a substantial interest in the subject matter; and (3) lack of adequate representation of the intervenor's interests.' Memorial Hospital Ass'n, Inc. v. Knutson, 239 Kan. 663[, 722 P.2d 1093] (1986). '[A] prospective party's untimely application to intervene in an action is the same as voluntarily declining to intervene. . . .' Davis v. Prudential Property and Casualty Ins. Co., 961 F. Supp. 1496 (D. Kan. 1997).
"Kansans for the Separation of School and State had ample opportunity to file a motion to intervene prior to trial in this matter. This action has been pending for nearly five years. The facts have already been heard and determined in this action. A preliminary interim order was entered by this Court on December 2, 2003. This party did not file their motion to intervene until December 18, 2003. All that remains is to determine a proper remedy. As the motion to intervene is untimely, the Court hereby denies the request.
"Additionally, the motion is denied because Kansans for the Separation of School and State improperly state that their members have property interests in the State of Kansas 'relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action.' To the contrary, there is no property or transaction that is the subject of this matter. This Court's preliminary order contains no directive that the Legislature raise property taxes statewide. In addition, the Court's preliminary order does not set forth an amount . . . which the Legislature must provide to adequately fund schools. The Court merely set forth the facts. Until July 1, 2004, it is up to the executive and legislative branches to devise a remedy to these constitutional deficiencies."
Appellant relies on Moyer v. Board of County Commissioners, 197 Kan. 23, 415 P.2d 261 (1966), for the proposition that posttrial intervention is timely. Appellant's reliance on Moyer is misplaced. Moyer stands for the principle that intervention may be timely even after judgment if the party who represented the intervenor-applicant's interest at trial refuses to appeal, see 197 Kan. 23, Syl. ¶ 3, in which case the intervenor's interest would no longer be adequately represented by an existing party. In Hukle v. City of Kansas City, 212 Kan. 627, Syl. ¶ 3, 512 P.2d 457 (1973), the court held that "[t]he requirement for 'timely application' to intervene in an action as that term is used in K.S.A. . . . 60-224(a) has no application until such time as adequate representation ceases."
In the present case, the district court made no determination about the adequacy of the representation of appellant's interest. Appellant contends that it is "without adequate representation by the state, which like the governor, politically benefits from losing this action and suddenly, in a single blow accumulating wealth, power and patronage that doubles what it has taken generations to confiscate from Kansans democratically." Appellant's argument seems to be that it opposes a tax increase to finance schools but the State of Kansas favors an increase. The legislature's rejection of all proposals for tax increases to finance schools in its last session, however, demonstrates that appellant's position is adequately represented by the State.
In Hukle, the court stated that the right to intervene under K.S.A. 60-224(a) depends on the concurrence of (1) a timely application, (2) a substantial interest in the subject matter, and (3) a lack of adequate representation of the intervenor's interests. 212 Kan. at 630-32. Without a showing of inadequate representation, there can be no concurrence of the three factors.
Here, although the trial court was silent on the issue, appellant failed to show a lack of adequate representation of its interest in the appeal. Thus, the motion to intervene was not timely.
If a trial court reaches the right result, its decision will be upheld even though the trial court relied upon the wrong ground or assigned erroneous reasons for its decision. Bergstrom v. Noah, 266 Kan. 847, 875-76, 974 P.2d 531 (1999).

Imagine your friend tells you about this great concert happening next week and wants to know if you are interested in going. You go to a ticket website and see that the concert isn't too expensive, so you go to buy your ticket.
After filling out all your contact and billing information, the total price on the ticket is much higher than you originally thought it would be. That reasonably priced ticket is now twice as expensive, if not more, because of outrageous fees. If this has ever happened to you, I want to tell you about a new website called Scorebig.com that can help you get tickets for any sports event, concert or show below box office prices, guaranteed.
Scorebig works by acting as a ticket marketplace to help bring buyers and sellers together. First, you find the event you want to attend to see which tickets are available.

Wine & Politics: An Oeno-Guide To Voting For A President
Voting for a president can be just like selecting the perfect wine for a very important occasion. Be it a proposal, an engagement, a marriage; the signing of a contract, the closing of a business deal, the signing of a treaty; a birth, a graduation, a passing; a reunion, a holiday, a celebration; when the stakes are this high, you don't want to make a mistake.
So, with that in mind, some suggestions:
Prepare Yourself
Go into it knowing something more than you knew before. Most importantly, listen to the experts; certainly more so than the current cultural zeitgeist would seem to suggest you ought to. You can still disagree with them, even oppose them, but they're worth listening to, and learning from. There is a reason they are long-time, full-time professionals. They've worked hard, trained hard, and they know their stuff. Do I always follow recommendations from the Advocate, Spectator, Decanter? Of course not. Do I read them? Of course. Prepare yourself. Know something. Don't be afraid of knowledge. They're not snobs. They're knowledgeable, and passionate, and they can help you. This is a very important decision. You want to know what you're doing, and why.
Consider The Ramifications Of Your Decision In Advance
It ain't just about you. In making your selection, you are creating ripples in a pond, ripples that will expand beyond your sightlines, touching and moving lives and things you can't imagine or foresee. And you're making a statement, taking a stand. In today's day and age, what you do is tracked, so your decision is not just a vote for a single entity, it's a philosophical stance about an aesthetic, an ethos, a world-view. And you are tasked with pleasing not just yourself, but a world around you. Compromise is noble; think beyond yourself. This is for the ages.
Reward Nuance And Complexity
Retweetable sound-bites may get the most attention in the short term, but nuance and complexity are what lasts. Don't be afraid to think. Don't be afraid of not understanding. Be willing to take some time with your decision. You are fortunate in that you get to sample your choices before your decision is final. Don't reward the obvious. Take advantage of the time afforded you, and be willing to look further, dig deeper, try harder. Were this music, the advice would be; don't fall for the obvious single, go to the deep tracks. Those are the songs that will carry you a lifetime. You want to be still talking about this for decades to come.
Consider Partnership & Pairing
Big, loud, brash, aggressive. It gets your attention, and can be rewarding in the short term. You feel it. You're excited. But this is an isolationist's game in the long run. Big, loud, brash, and aggressive partners well with … nothing. Reward subtlety.
Go Beyond The Single Issue
You may feel passionate about something in particular, to the point where you'll even draw lines. You may make ultimatums around a single issue. Don't. Consider the macro beyond the micro. It's not about skin color. It's not about region. It's not about approachability or longevity. It's about everything.
Have Soul
In the end, make a decision you can dance to. This is life.

WASHINGTON — President Obama trimmed his demand for tax increases on the wealthy Monday, making a substantial counteroffer as he and House Speaker John A. Boehner reconvened privately at the White House.
Crucial differences remain, but the quickened pace of the budget talks suggested the men are engaged in a serious effort to bridge the partisan divide before the holidays — and before the year-end "fiscal cliff" leads to economically dire tax increases and spending cuts.
The president offered to raise tax rates on household income above $400,000, according to a source familiar with the talks who was not authorized to speak publicly about them. The rate would rise from 35% to 39.6%. The president campaigned for reelection on a plan to require households with incomes above $250,000 to pay more, and, until recently, had emphasized that his victory and postelection polls showed that the public agreed with him.
Obama's overture came after Boehner suggested Friday in a phone call that he would be willing to raise tax rates for those earning more than $1 million — a major concession for the Ohio Republican, who had resisted any increase in the top rates. Aides on both sides were buoyed after that conversation, even though the White House rejected the offer.
After Monday's session, both sides remained optimistic. One senior administration official who requested anonymity to discuss the White House's thinking said the talks reflected "a more robust level of engagement."
Boehner panned the president's proposal, however, in an indication of the difficulty the speaker will have convincing his party's conservative flank to approve any deal with a tax rate increase.
Obama's offer "cannot be considered balanced," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. "We hope to continue discussions with the president so we can reach an agreement that is truly balanced and begins to solve our spending problem."
After weeks of sputtering negotiations, the two sides have substantially narrowed their differences. The latest White House offer would yield $1.2 trillion in new revenue over a decade, to be matched with a similar amount of spending reductions.
Boehner's latest proposal was for $1 trillion in new revenue, and talks at the White House earlier Monday involved $1 trillion in cuts.
Obama is now offering twice as much in cuts as he initially put on the table. His proposal includes shaving $400 billion from healthcare programs and a similar amount from other domestic spending. Safety net programs also would be reduced, a prospect making Democrats uneasy.
One change sure to face intense resistance from Obama's allies on Capitol Hill would trim the annual cost-of-living adjustment for those receiving government assistance, probably including Social Security, with protections only for the oldest and poorest Americans.
Yet Obama also proposes to continue long-term unemployment benefits, as well as added infrastructure spending, nodding to other Democratic priorities. He dropped plans to extend the expiring payroll tax break, which Democrats have backed as necessary for economic stimulus, and intends to expedite tax and spending overhauls.
Failure to reach consensus by the end of the month would result in $500 billion in federal spending cuts and tax increases that would mean an estimated $2,200 hike on the average American family.
Boehner will meet Tuesday morning with rank-and-file GOP lawmakers, where he is expected to air the latest proposals and gauge the reaction — particularly from the more conservative House members who constitute the majority of his caucus.
Republicans will almost certainly balk at how the White House calculates the value of the president's proposed deficit reduction package, rejecting the administration's approach of counting accrued savings from last year's budget agreement and from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Including those measures, the White House says, the president's plan would reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over a decade.
The GOP also may be critical of Obama's plans to halt most of the automatic spending cuts, which are scheduled to take effect next year.
One key area where stark differences remain is the nation's debt ceiling, which must rise early next year to allow the country to pay its bills.
Boehner offered to increase the federal government's borrowing capacity for another year if the White House agreed to an equal amount of spending cuts, as has been his long-stated position.
Obama's counteroffer seeks a two-year extension of the debt limit, which would be difficult for Boehner's conservative Republicans to accept with the level of cuts now on the table from the administration.
The 45-minute meeting Monday at the White House was the third direct negotiation between Obama and Boehner in little more than a week.
The House had been scheduled to start its holiday vacation Monday. Instead, it joined the Senate in Washington the week before Christmas.
Michael A. Memoli in the Washington bureau contributed to this report.

Major Section: RULE-CLASSES
Example: (implies (true-listp x) (equal (len x) (if (null x) 0 (if (null (cdr x)) 1 (+ 2 (len (cddr x)))))))where
General Form: (implies hyp (equiv (fn a1 ... an) body))
equiv is an equivalence relation and
fn is a function
symbol other than
force or
case-split. Such
rules allow ``alternative'' definitions of
fn to be proved as
theorems but used as definitions. These rules are not true
``definitions'' in the sense that they (a) cannot introduce new
function symbols and (b) do not have to be terminating recursion
schemes. They are just conditional rewrite rules that are
controlled the same way we control recursive definitions. We call
these ``definition rules'' or ``generalized definitions''.
Consider the general form above. Generalized definitions are stored
among the
rewrite rules for the function ``defined,''
fn above, but
the procedure for applying them is a little different. During
rewriting, instances of
(fn a1 ... an) are replaced by corresponding
instances of
body provided the
hyps can be established as for a
rewrite rule and the result of rewriting
body satisfies the
criteria for function expansion. There are two primary criteria,
either of which permits expansion. The first is that the
``recursive'' calls of
fn in the rewritten body have arguments that
already occur in the goal conjecture. The second is that the
``controlling'' arguments to
fn are simpler in the rewritten body.
The notions of ``recursive call'' and ``controllers'' are complicated by the provisions for mutually recursive definitions. Consider a ``clique'' of mutually recursive definitions. Then a ``recursive call'' is a call to any function defined in the clique and an argument is a ``controller'' if it is involved in the measure that decreases in all recursive calls. These notions are precisely defined by the definitional principle and do not necessarily make sense in the context of generalized definitional equations as implemented here.
But because the heuristics governing the use of generalized
definitions require these notions, it is generally up to the user to
specify which calls in body are to be considered recursive and what
the controlling arguments are. This information is specified in the
:clique and
:controller-alist fields of the
:definition rule class.
:clique field is the list of function symbols to be considered
recursive calls of
fn. In the case of a non-recursive definition,
:clique field is empty; in a singly recursive definition, it
should consist of the singleton list containing
fn; otherwise it
should be a list of all of the functions in the mutually recursive
clique with this definition of
If the
:clique field is not provided it defaults to
nil if
fn does
not occur as a function symbol in
body and it defaults to the
singleton list containing
fn otherwise. Thus,
:clique must be
supplied by the user only when the generalized definition rule is to
be treated as one of several in a mutually recursive clique.
:controller-alist is an alist that maps each function symbol in
:clique to a mask specifying which arguments are considered
controllers. The mask for a given member of the clique,
fn, must be
a list of
t's and
nil's of length equal to the arity of
fn. A
should be in each argument position that is considered a
``controller'' of the recursion. For a function admitted under the
principle of definition, an argument controls the recursion if it is
one of the arguments measured in the termination argument for the
function. But in generalized definition rules, the user is free to
designate any subset of the arguments as controllers. Failure to
choose wisely may result in the ``infinite expansion'' of
definitional rules but cannot render ACL2 unsound since the rule
being misused is a theorem.
If the
:controller-alist is omitted it can sometimes be defaulted
automatically by the system. If the
:clique is
nil, the
:controller-alist defaults to
nil. If the
:clique is a singleton
fn, the
:controller-alist defaults to the controller
alist computed by
(defun fn args body). If the
:clique contains
more than one function, the user must supply the
specifying the controllers for each function in the clique. This is
necessary since the system cannot determine and thus cannot analyze
the other definitional equations to be included in the clique.
For example, suppose
fn1 and
fn2 have been defined one way and it is
desired to make ``alternative'' mutually recursive definitions
available to the rewriter. Then one would prove two theorems and
store each as a
:definition rule. These two theorems would exhibit
equations ``defining''
fn1 and
fn2 in terms of each other. No
provision is here made for exhibiting these two equations as a
system of equations. One is proved and then the other. It just so
happens that the user intends them to be treated as mutually
recursive definitions. To achieve this end, both
:definition rules
should specify the
(fn1 fn2) and should specify a suitable
:controller-alist. If, for example, the new definition of
fn1 is
controlled by its first argument and the new definition of
fn2 is
controlled by its second and third (and they each take three
arguments) then a suitable
:controller-alist would be
((fn1 t nil nil) (fn2 nil t t)). The order of the pairs in the
alist is unimportant, but there must be a pair for each function in
the clique.
Inappropriate heuristic advice via
:clique and
:controller-alist can
cause ``infinite expansion'' of generalized definitions, but cannot
render ACL2 unsound.
Note that the actual definition of
fn1 has the runic name
(:definition fn1). The runic name of the alternative definition is
(:definition lemma), where
lemma is the name given to the event that
created the generalized
:definition rule. This allows theories to
switch between various ``definitions'' of the functions.
The definitional principle,
defun, actually adds
rules. Thus the handling of generalized definitions is exactly the
same as for ``real'' definitions because no distinction is made in
the implementation. Suppose
(fn x y) is
defun'd to be
body. Note that
defun (or
defuns or
can compute the clique for
fn from the syntactic presentation and
it can compute the controllers from the termination analysis.
Provided the definition is admissible,
defun adds the
:definition rule
(equal (fn x y) body).

The Discussion
Async CTP link doesn't work
@Michael: Will work soon. Sorry, I jumped the gun
oh, they are doing it for C# too, when this emerges on PDC08 IIRC its a VB language feature, oh right they are co-evolving now, mmm...
@felix9: What are you talking about? Watch the video...
uhhh...maybe its just my first sight of these stuff are demoed in vb language ... heh
busy watching PDC now ...
Iterators and async, IEnumerable and IObservable, state machines and duality, oh yes, LINQs abound.
Great explanation from Anders.
Isn't it amazing how how much easier it is to comprehend a complex subjecct when presented by someone with so much enthusiasm?
Great work Anders & Team. Can't wait to see what you attack next
the async stuff sounds great. Any plans in C# to make dependency properties a part of the language? Having to understand and debug dependency properties made learning WPF kind of hard for me.
Erm... how come no comment on IObservable? Seriously guys, you talked about IEnumerable, iterators and all the good stuff, but not a word on Rx? What hath thou done Charles? *rant*
@Rafael: we talked about Rx in other interiews including the C9 Live session with Anders.
I know you can't have try { ... } finally { ...} or using (...) { ... } inside an iterator in .NET 2.0. Do asynchronous methods have the same problem?
this is what I have throughout my program and it is very annoying just like Mr. Anders mentioned, inverse flow of control with 2 delegate callbacks one for regular return, the other one for exception.
EventHandler<T> failureHandler = null;
EventHandler<T> successHandler = null;
failureHandler = (s,ea) =>
obj.FailureEvent -= failureHandler;
obj.SuccessEvent -= successHandler;
// handle failed state
successHandler = (s,ea) =>
obj.FailureEvent -= failureHandler;
obj.SuccessEvent -= successHandler;
// handle success state
obj.SuccessEvent += successHandler;
obj.FailureEvent += failureHandler;
I am very looking forward to this feature.
Hmm, I guess line break (carriage return) is not an option.
Does anyone know when this async stuff gets offically released? I guess my question is whether Async CTP is reliable enough to be incorporated into my product code.
Fantastic stuff, I need to read up on F#'s async some more and look at the TPL!
Did anyone else find themselves checking their inbox while watching that video ?
For some reason, I really like this guy's attitude. Brilliance is one thing. Addressing the credit is one thing. But, something else makes me really put me in comfort with him. Maybe he makes it easier to understand for me. Or maybe some other reasons. So, I hope he continues his good work in MS and I hope MS values his work too. After all, I hope to use his stuff for a long long time.
@ elmer. Absolutely. But then I realized I didn't have Windows Live Mail open. Nice explanation Mr. Anders.
I don't mean to be mean, but Anders did dodge the final question. In having asynchrony done by the compiler you will lose control, so... how well is it optimised, what efficiency compromises are inherent in a solution that cannot be "hand-coded". Hejlsberg just turned around the question and answered it as if it had been about the comparatively minimal creeping featurism of the syntax.
Hmm.. I think this is more for the VB guys, its already easy using anonymous methods from C# for which this syntax is just a shortcut (I am guessing):
someThread.BeginInvoke(new Action(delegate()
// do something
No Async love for Express editions? I tried installing the CTP (I have Visual Studio Web Developer and C# Express installed) but could not located the Async DLLs after.
@ecofriend: let me find out as I'd love to use this in some Coding4Fun projects
@ecofriend: got a response by the always wonderful LIsa Feigenbaum over at the MSDN forums. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/async/thread/4945ecf1-b242-4173-9ada-570c731bd3fb
Quick answer is: current CTP is Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Premium or Ultimate only. You can download a trial at https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/download
What if ALL functions will be decared async automatically? What are the implications of that?
@Clint: Thanks.
@ecofriend: Express SKUs are not supported. you can download one of the trial version of Visual Studio from here https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/download
Why did you choose to implement it so that an await statement can only be resumed once? For example you can't implement await on List (or most other monads for that matter):
async List<int> CartesianProduct(List<int> A, List<int> B){
var a = await A;
var b = await B;
return new Tuple(a,b);
Great work !
I'm sort of sad Because of parallel and async tasks I had an argument to start learning F#. Now I have only wait for new C#
@Algida: Well. Don't be sad! And do learn F#. Also, learn other forms of parallel and async expression in C# using Tasks and Rx and Concurrent Revisions So much to learn. So little time.
@Charles:Yup you are right, I just getting into current C# and .Net4, till I will get into f# there will be next c# it is so so little time to learn it
@Algida: As Herb Sutter always says, learn as many languages as you can. Make it entertainment so you actually do it (if you don't enjoy it then it will be hard to be entertained by it).This allows you to express problems and solutions with more tools, some being better suited for the specific job at hand. More importantly, it teaches you how to think about programmming in multiple dimensions (like functional (F#) and imperative/hybrid (C#)).
You are right, of course. Start off with the fundamentals (just as reading music is to playing an intsrument or instruments in highly expressive ways). The music analogy only goes so far and some will be quick to point out the logical flaws therein, but you get the idea.

Turns out, all the chatter surrounding Houston's No. 1 pick was sound and fury ultimately signifying nothing. The Texans used that first pick on South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the player who entered the 2013 college football season as this draft's clear No. 1 prospect -- and who re-established himself there in the build-up to Thursday night.
Whether the Texans had any real offers on the table to move down from No. 1, they eventually turned their full attention to Clowney above any of this class' quarterbacks or potentially elite offensive tackles, such as Jake Matthews and Greg Robinson.
By doing so, Houston turned its pass rush into one of the league's most fearsome units.
Strengths: An imposing figure, with strength and size to match his speed. Because of that combination, Clowney can keep tackles and tight ends guessing as to how he will attack. When he gets a step around the edge, even the most agile blockers will find it difficult to recover before he disrupts the pocket. When opponents are in solid position, Clowney can extend his arms, drive his legs and power his way where he wants to go. As the blow-up of Vincent Smith proved, Clowney will lower the boom if he gets the chance -- that goes for unaware quarterbacks as well as running backs.
GALLERY: Scenes from the 2014 NFL Draft
Though dropping him in at a DE spot and leaving him alone might be tempting, Clowney did perform well from various positions up front. He definitely has the strength to drop down inside on pass-rushing downs for a team with multiple outside threats. Much like J.J. Watt, Clowney has the awareness and the length to disrupt aerial attacks even when he cannot break through the line.
Has the athleticism to chase down plays from the backside. Also will be better dropping in coverage than most people expect, should he be tasked with that challenge.
Weaknesses: The concerns regarding his motor and conditioning are overblown, but Clowney can run on fumes at times, which was especially noticeable early in the season versus up-tempo offenses. Rather than come off the field when he was fatigued, Clowney appeared to ease up — thus making himself an easy blocking assignment.
GALLERY: Jadeveon Clowney's greatest hits
Linebacker skills will need work. Right now, he could handle the most basic of those duties but could be exposed if he somehow winds up in space against a RB or TE. Not going to make many plays on the ball if he's not at the line (though, the same could be said for most DE-types).
Mentally, can he handle the expectations?
Grade: A.
The Texans still need to answer their quarterback questions. (Will a rumored trade for Ryan Mallett get the job done there?) If you are picking No. 1, though, the main goal above all is to find the absolute best prospect in the draft. For all the criticisms Clowney took over his work ethic, he never truly slipped from the top spot.
Houston's offense -- and whichever player lands at QB -- will have less pressure on it in 2014 simply because of Clowney's presence alongside J.J. Watt. The Texans will be able to harass opposing backfields consistently, from a variety of spots on the field and in varied looks if they so choose. Clowney is going to be a monster in this league.

NVIDIA has published its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The company's performance fell short of previous expectations for multiple reasons, and NVIDIA's forecast for the third quarter isn't much brighter, with projected sales below seasonal levels. NVIDIA reported revenue of $892.7 million for the second quarter, a decrease of some 5 percent. The company dipped into the red this quarter, with an operating loss of $120.9 million (22¢ per share).
The single most important factor that contributed to that loss, of course, is the $196 million warranty charge NVIDIA admitted it was taking a month ago. The company fielded several questions regarding the size and nature of that problem and once again reiterated that the manufacturing issue in question affected a relatively small batch of parts, that the company remains fully committed to repairing those parts, and is working closely with all of its OEM partners. When asked whether or not it believed the problem had affected other GPUs, expected additional costs, or predicted design losses as a result of the issue, NVIDIA said no. Based on the company's profile of the flaw, the one-time $196 million charge will cover it.
A challenging market
NVIDIA could have potentially tried to blame its quarterly loss entirely on that one-time charge, but the company declined to do so. Instead, it presented a very candid picture of its own weak performance during the quarter and the multiple challenges it faced. One problem, according to the company, was that it had "underestimated its competitor," and had mispositioned its new product introductions. This issue has since been corrected, and the GTX 260 / GTX 280 are now far more accurately positioned against the HD 4800 series from ATI than they were when those products launched.
Weak sales in the second quarter drove up inventory levels, and greater-than-expected inventory levels, in turn, have slowed NVIDIA's transition to 55nm. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang claimed that the transition to 55nm technology is ongoing, but that we won't see these cards across the market until existing 65nm supplies have been depleted. The weak US dollar drove US OEM sales in European markets, but it also weakened the sales performance of native European manufacturers. NVIDIA claims this substantially impacted its business, as desktops in Europe have a substantially higher GPU attach rate than their American counterparts.
Huang pulled no punches in his evaluation of the company's second quarter. "Our second quarter financial performance was disappointing," he said. "The
desktop PC market around the world weakened during the quarter, and our miscalculation of competitive price position further pressured
our desktop GPU business. We have a great product line-up, and having taken the necessary pricing actions, we are strongly
positioned again. Our focus now is to drive cost improvements and to further enhance our competitiveness through the many exciting
initiatives we have planned for the rest of the year."
He then added, "In contrast, the rest of our businesses did not exhibit the same dynamics as our desktop business. The notebook GPU, MCP, and Professional Solutions groups grew a combined 27 percent year-over-year. Though we approach the near term with caution, we remain very optimistic about the expanding universe of visual computing and the exciting growth opportunities made possible by CUDA, our general purpose parallel computing architecture."
No plans for UMPCs
CUDA, Tegra, and mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) were all hot topics this afternoon. Huang was dismissive of the UMPC market, implying that NVIDIA has no plans to compete in such a space, but talked extensively on how MIDs are the future of computing. The company is also putting a massive amount of weight behind CUDA, which it apparently envisions as the software engine that will power adoption of NVIDIA GPUs within everything from MIDs to supercomputers. None of NVIDIA's forward-looking statements touched on NV70 or any particular aspect of a next-generation architecture, but focused entirely on massively parallel computing and the ways in which the current generation of GeForce products can be adapted to deliver tremendous performance increases.
NVIDIA plans to address its revenue shortfall by significantly cutting operating expenditures, which ballooned by 34 percent year-on-year, and believes strong sale of its 55nm products will improve the situation. The company does not believe it lost market share in its second fiscal quarter, and while it forecast a tough third quarter, it said nothing about a long-term stay within the red zone. Barring further one-time charges, the company may quickly return to profitability; take away that charge and NVIDIA pops back into the black by some $60 million.
As for the rumors and allegations of widespread GPU/chipset failures, NVIDIA has now denied them in its quarterly earnings report. If the company's statements are accurate, there's absolutely nothing to them. If the company is lying about the scope or nature of the problem, it's opening the doors to potential shareholder lawsuits.
Personally, I'm ready for this topic to go away. The scope of the allegations continues to expand, proof remains nonexistent, and NVIDIA has now officially stated that the scope and nature of the problem is confined to a relatively small batch of parts—which, incidentally, is what it has been saying all along.

44 HASKINS & SELLS June
Amortization of Discount on Serial Bonds
BONDS issued originally at a discount
exceed in number by far those issued
otherwise. An increasing proportion of
these bond issues contain a provision for
their redemption on a serial basis. The
accounting treatment of the bond discount
on the books of the issuing company becomes
a practical problem of amortization.
Assume an issue of 5% bonds of $10,000,-
000 is to be floated, maturing serially
during the succeeding ten-year period, and
the investment house underwriting the
bonds agrees to take over the entire issue
at 90. In making an offer of 90 the investment
house perhaps will allow five points
for the estimated expenses of underwriting.
The profit for underwriting will depend
upon the price for which the bonds ultimately
are resold. A price of 98 perhaps
would constitute sufficient spread between
the original offer of 90 and the resale price
to permit the investment house to realize a
reasonable profit for underwriting the issue.
The issuing company will be faced with
the problem of disposing of the $1,000,000
bond discount. Two things are fairly
certain about writing off the discount:
(1) it is not necessary for the company to
write off the entire discount in the year in
which the bonds originally are issued;
(2) the discount should be written off
entirely by the time the last bond matures.
Evidently the $1,000,000 discount is to be
amortized in some way over the life of the
bonds, ten years. There are several
methods which may be presented for consideration.
Probably the simplest method for writing
off the discount is the straight-line, or
equal-instalment, method. The total discount
is prorated over the entire number of
years that the bonds will be outstanding.
In this case the discount would be written
off at the rate of $100,000 per year for the
ten-year period. This method provides
for the distribution of the discount expense
equally over the life of the bonds. It does
not take into consideration the fact that
the bonds outstanding during the early
years constitute a much greater amount
than the bonds outstanding during the
later years. If the bonds are being purchased
in the open market and the discount
applicable to bonds purchased by
the company during any year should exceed
the straight-line amortization, then
the larger figure would be used.
Care should be taken in wording the
provision for writing off the discount in
case bonds are purchased annually in the
open market and retired through a sinking
fund. The provision may stipulate that
all the discount should be written off on the
bonds as they are retired through the

Apparently unaware that he'd run in front of his pickup truck, a Shrewsbury man hit and killed his 2-year-old son last night while pulling into his driveway.
A 2-year-old boy was killed Tuesday evening when he was hit by a pickup truck while playing in his driveway, officials said.
Eduardo DeOliveira Jr., 2, of 7 Power Ave., was playing near a tree by the driveway with his sister, 4, and an 8-year-old neighbor, at about 5:30 p.m. when Eduardo DeOliveira Sr., 40, arrived home from work in a 1992 Ford pickup truck, said District Attorney Joseph E. Early Jr.
The boy apparently ran into the path of the truck, and his father was unaware he'd struck him. DeOliveria Jr. was taken to UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester where he was pronounced dead, Early said.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy. Shrewsbury police and and state police detectives are investigating.

It's down again, but with a 503 now: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks once again to our community for the heads up - apparently our server monitoring efforts from the last outage did nothing to inform us of this next issue, and we'll be working on this to improve it.
https://maven.sencha.com/repo/ should be available now once more, please feel free to let us know if it goes out again...
Regarding the maven build with same artifact ids for the two releases (GPL and Commercial):
I don't know your internal development structure (maven modules etc.), but couldn't you just create another maven module, which uses the maven assembly plugin to package the classes and the GPL license file with an artifact id like "gxt-gpl"? Then you have the two releases separated, but you don't have to change anything for your development, because it's just packaging.
Can you make it work?
javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter execution threw an exception
root cause
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
Thanks Mariusz, it should be back working again.
I cannot seem to find the 3.0.2 release on the commercial repo.
Stigrv: can you verify that your support credentials work when navigating to https://maven.sencha.com/repo/ and clicking login?
If so, verify that the id of the server entry in your settings.xml with those credentials matches the id of the repo in your pom file, and that this repo entry is the /support-commercial-release/ repo.
If it all still looks like it should make sense, please post the log of your maven build when it fails to see more specifically what the error is.
I see 3.0.2 is available for commercial users? Why doesn't it contain 3.0.2?
P.S. I don't understand Colin's previous post. In the past I do not think we had to login to Artifactory (not sure what that would be for). Did something change in how we integrate GXT with our build? We use a corporate Nexus maven proxy and if something changed regarding where the commercial artifacts are hosted and/or login I will need to get with them to make Nexus changes. Please advise if this changed.
You don't need to log in, that's true, but doing so is a way to ensure that our credentials are sync'd correctly.
GXT 3.0.2 is a support-only release, and as such is limited to customers with support logins. Please see Edmunds post and instructions regarding maven setup for 3.0.2: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...-now-available
The short version is that you need to use a slightly different repo than you are currently using:
If you are authenticated, this url will show 3.0.0, 3.0.0b, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2. Otherwise this will only show the public releases.
If you set up your credentials in Nexus, it will be able to pull these support only artifacts for your organization. We've had several teams already make this change successfully with their own Nexus servers, so we're reasonably sure that this is set up and configured correctly.

We are glad to announce that we have just pushed a couple of new features into production. One of them allows for developers to publish content more easily and collect feedback from their users about their work.
Although the current implementation of the blog is pretty basic and as bare-bones as it gets, it is still perfectly functional. We will be improving and fleshing out the system in the future - feel free to send us your suggestions and requests.
Another feature we have recently introduced will help newcomers to set up their sites a lot easier.
When user logs in into XtGem for the first time, he or she will be prompted to select a default look for the page:
After that, blog will also be automatically added to the page, so that users can register and start publishing content in 30 seconds or less!

Wales end Ireland's championship hopes
Huw Richards
March 5, 2010
Wales skipper Jack Bassett was inspirational in their victory over Ireland © PA Photos
Ireland v Wales has a distinctive place in the collective consciousness of both nations. Before the Five Nations started fixture rotation in the 1970s, it was the Triple Crown match. Both would already have played Scotland and England and if either, or both, had won both matches their meeting could carry what until the rise of France in the 1950s and the consequent coining of 'Grand Slam', was regarded as the championship's supreme accolade.
So a disproportionate number of each nation's memories of triumph and disaster are concentrated in that single fixture. For elderly Welshmen, mention of 1950 and 1952 will bring a reminiscent smile, while Irishmen of the same vintage cherish memories of the triumphs in 1948 and 1949.
Along with those, though, are the failures. Eighty years ago this week a fine Irish side made the journey to St Helen's ground, Swansea for the match that would decide whether they went down in history. After an unexpected opening defeat against France, Ireland had beaten Scotland and England. Wales had lost to both.
Like their successors of 2009, Ireland had more than a single season resting upon them. In the previous five seasons they had won 13 matches, draw two and lost only five. Yet the spacing of those defeats - one in each year - meant that like the great team led by Brian O'Driscoll, they had relatively little to show for their consistency - not a single Triple Crown and only two shared championships, both with Scotland in years when they had beaten the Scots, but lost to lower-placed opponents. One of those defeats was on their last visit to Swansea, in 1926, when a last minute drop-goal attempt - worth four points in those days - by centre Tom Hewitt swerved wide to leave Wales 11-8 winners and Ireland tantalisingly short not only of the Triple Crown, but a first Grand Slam.
Memories of that match were still clear in the 50,000 crowd at St Helen's. Irish loose forward Jammie Clinch recounted to the end of a long life the anecdote of his running on to St Helen's after that four year gap and being greeted by a spectator's shout of 'send him off'. Clinch said 'I was touched that they remembered me'.
Ireland looked well set on March 8, 1930 when centre Eugene Davy, a converted outside-half who had scored a hat-trick of tries two weeks earlier at Murrayfield, landed a second minute 40-yard drop-goal. Wales struck back with two tries. Lock Archie Skym crossed after charging 40 yards from a line-out, then shortly after half time debutant wing Howie Jones, playing on his home ground, and back rower Harry Peacock claimed a rare joint try as both leapt on the ball simultaneously. But Wales's lead was short-lived, with Paul Murray, the outside-half whose emergence had prompted the long-serving Davy's shift to centre, restored Ireland's lead.
Ireland, it was reported, might have won but for the brilliance of Welsh fullback Jack Bassett. It was the Penarth player's first match as captain and he rose to the occasion, reportedly making three try-saving tackles, including one spectacular felling of Davy with the line apparently at his mercy.
Instead a 50,000 crowd was able to celebrate a Welsh victory as Bassett landed a penalty and Neath prop Tom Arthur crossed for the third try by a Wales forward, a reflection of the edge in a vigorous forward battle in which Clinch appears to have failed in his proclaimed quest to 'make an orange' of combative opposite number Arthur Lemon. There would be no outright Irish title until 1935, no Triple Crown before 1948.
It was not merely the end of Ireland's hopes in one of the tightest championship seasons of all time - England claimed the title with five points, Scotland were bottom with three and the rest tied on four points between them - but of a remarkable career.
Ireland's captain George Stephenson had won his first cap 10 years earlier, a centre completing a rise within a few months from Queen's University's third team to international selection. Once there he was not to be shifted for a decade, missing only a single match through injury, against Scotland in 1929, as he piled up totals of 42 caps and 89 points, making him the leading cap-winner and points-scorer in international history when he retired.
Opinion as to whether his talent matched those formidable statistics varied. Welsh writer Townsend Collins had no doubts, noting 'quickness of foot, swiftness and grace, and the beauty of a deceptive swerve, he played for his fellows, he made openings and gave his passes with the accuracy and judgment of a master. He was a lovely kick and…was magnificent in defence. In many a game he was a rock against which the waves of attack broke in vain".
Neither the Englishman E.H.D Sewell nor Stephenson's compatriot H.J.Harland questioned his quality in defence. But Sewell reckoned that 'his wings seldom scored a try that mattered - in my seeing' while Harland, pointing to his devastating displays for Queen's, reckoned a mystery in 'his inability to reproduce more of that brilliance in international struggles'.
Yet his 14 tries remained an Irish record until broken by Brendan Mullin in 1991 and his wings, who included his older brother Henry, crossed 13 times while he was playing centre, against the 11 scored by players on the other wing.
Certainly the Irish selectors felt no urge to drop him, and evidently regretted that his medical career took him to London, where he was to live until his death in 1970, to work as a psychiatrist. His records were also to prove durable - he was the leading points-scorer in all international rugby until overtaken by Jean Prat in 1952 and his caps record survived until Ken Jones won his 43rd in 1957. Jack Kyle took his Irish appearances record a year later, and the points record lasted until Tom Kiernan reached 90 points in 1968. Great names all, and there seems little doubt that Stephenson belongs in their company.
