text: My High Alcohol Epiphany – Elegance above 14% Simon Woolf January 16, 2014 Columns, Simon Woolf, Wine Spotlight 8 Comments Hangups? I've got plenty, but don't worry – I'm not about to start using this column as therapy. But when I pick up a bottle of wine and the alcohol content is listed as more than 14%, a whole host of prejudices kick in. Is this going to be an unbalanced fruit-bomb or a fiery slap in the face? And will it leave me reeling after only a couple of glasses? Of course I'd never admit to leaving wines on the shelf purely because of high alcohol content. But it does have unwelcome associations – hot climate, long "hang time", power rather than elegance, heft rather than balance. But is it justifiable to assume that 14%+ must mean a rambunctious or even vulgar wine? Epiphany part 1 I thought so, until summer 2011 when I visited the remote island of Vis, off Croatia's Southern Adriatic coast. Perhaps the island's most well known winemaker is a chap by the name of Lipanović. Antonio to his mum. Apparently a renowned cricketer on his days off, Lipanović also makes divine Plavac Mali. If you're familiar with Plavac, you'll know that just like its parent Zinfandel, it can easily overripen and become a rampant alcoholic mess. But Lipanović's is nothing like that – herbal, elegant and fresh, with driving acidity that holds it all together. At least this was my tasting note, after trying a glass at one of Vis's seaside restaurants. Entranced, I visited the winery and was astounded to find that the elegant, fresh wine we had been drinking weighed in at 15.7% I asked about how the balance was achieved. Antonio isn't a talkative chap, but he muttered something about the sandy soils. Around about the same time, I repeatedly had poor experiences with some right-bank Bordeaux 2005s and 2009s – all of which were between 14 – 14.5% alcohol. They tasted overweight, unbalanced and harsh. It seems that the hotter years in Bordeaux are quite problematic for Merlot. Epiphany part 2 Last autumn, I got the chance to visit Priorat, in Northeasterly Spain. Beforehand, I was thinking I might enjoy the landscape more than the wines. Priorat is after all famous (since its rebirth in the 1980s) for powerful and highly alcoholic red wines, often shored up with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot in addition to longer established Carignan and Grenache. Grapes can easily reach 18% potential alcohol in Priorat's harsh climate, and 15% is quite usual for finished wines. My tastebuds were expecting a hammering. The truth was very different. Priorat may have won its reputation for monster wines during the 1990s, when international varieties and Parker points were king, but the better winemakers here have not stood still. The more experienced know only too well that in a brutally hot and dry region, what you plant, and where you plant it is key. There's a resurgence of interest in Carignan, a variety that has been damned across the EU and even by team Jancis Robinson (The Oxford Companion to Wine concludes sniffily "Let some interesting old vines be treasured but let it not be planted"). Carignan ripens very late, and is thus well suited to Priorat's stifling, barren terroir. Yields are almost inevitably low here – the terrain is rugged, verging on inaccessible – and the resulting wines can frequently be minty, herbal and fresh. The accepted wisdom was generally to blend, with Carignan as no more than a bit player. But top estates such as Clos Mogador, Clos Figueras, Bodegas Mas Alta and Costers del Priorat have triumphed with Carignan dominated wines. Tasting wines like Clos Mogador's Manyetes (100% Carignan, typically 14.5% alcohol) or Mas Alta's La Creu Alta (60% Carignan, again around 14.5%), I was bowled over, not by an onslaught of heat or extraction, but by elegance, poise and balance. These are big wines, but like well-trained athletes, utterly fleet of foot. There are many other good examples – head to the surrounding Monsant region, which encloses Priorat like a doughnut, and the higher altitudes of the vineyards (500-600m, [1800-2000 ft]) mean that Grenache triumphs. If you've ever raised an eyebrow at overblown 15% Châteauneuf-du-Pape, try the Grenache dominated wines from Vinyes Domènech, or Alfredo Arribas's Trossos Negre (100% Grenache). My tasting notes list florality, lifted berry fruits and herbal complexity, rather than cooked plum and new oak. And again, these wines all weigh in between 14-15% (depending on vintage). My point? Alcohol percentages are a bit like age – just a number. The ability of a winemaker to understand their environment, and react accordingly is far, far more important. http://arnoldwaldstein.com/ awaldstein Hi Simon Truly a fluid and celebratory post. I found myself nodding along as you shared your discovery. I most certainly agree that balance is key and both the determinant of a great wine and a key parameter of memorable, if not just delicious, taste. I think this is timely as well as global temperatures along with alcohol content of wine are rising (my post on this–>Alcohol rising… http://awe.sm/bHxEv) My nodding stopped though when I got to the very last piece of the post. Alcohol is not a number like age of vine nor wine in my opinion. Age of vines are intellectual stimulants to many of us aficionados and not only impact taste but add thoughtful texture to our understanding of how to articulate and understand taste of older vintages or wine from older vines. Alcohol % is not the same, it is not simply a number. It may not be a determinant of quality or not but that is where it ends for the consumer. Alcohol impacts the body and health and is a real choice factor for consumers when choosing a wine generally or for an occasion. Business dinner–low alcohol is the smart call. And–there are more people who are sensitive to alcohol input that there are most certainly those who need to know whether there are added SO2. Great post and a pleasure to disagree with the ending analogy. All in on balance, but on alcohol as a benign result of fermentation, not so in my opinion. http://themorningclaret.com/ Simon Woolf Thanks for reading Arnold! But you miss my analogy I think – it may be a transatlantic disconnect, I don't know. Here in the uk we say "age is just a number" – and I'm not talking about the age of vines, i mean people! And there the analogy holds true. 70 year olds have different health concerns and a different pace than 20 year olds – no denying it, yet some 70 year olds feel, look and act like 50 year olds, and others like 80 year olds. I feel the analogy holds true. http://arnoldwaldstein.com/ awaldstein Yup, all culture and language. News to me. I need a translator strangely. I'll also read and think my comments moving forward, less time consuming and embarrassing http://themorningclaret.com/ Simon Woolf Two nations divided by a common language. No embarrassment necessary! Pingback: Terroirist: A Daily Wine Blog » Daily Wine News: State of Wine() http://jamesonfink.com/ Jameson Fink Funny, working in the retail wine business for years I very rarely get questions about alcohol levels or have customers inform me that they are perusing selections specifically looking for something under, say, 13%. Would love to hear from other retailers and restaurant pros regarding this. And since I don't see wineries rolling out a tear strip cloaking the alcohol level on a label, I appreciate your perspective on liking what tastes good and is well-made, regardless of a number. Your age analogy is an apt one. Pingback: Good Reads Wednesday « Artisan Family of Wines() Pingback: The Grape 360 – Judgment of Napa: Five Cabernets()

The Bachelorette
Newly-Single Tony Pieper Shows Off His Abs! Is He Vying for a Spot on Bachelor Pad?
We're still reeling from the announcement that Tony Pieper and Blakeley Jones are over, but should we have seen it earlier? Two weeks ago, Tony posted the above pic to his Instagram with the caption: "Working on getting back to show shape!! Time to step it up! #motivated."
Show shape, huh? That couldn't possibly mean Tony is planning on diving back in the hot tub for another season of Bachelor Pad, could it? As far as we know, ABC hasn't confirmed a fourth season, but it sure seems like someone is eager to give it another go.

Using the concept of the neutron Bloch wave presented previously, the possibility of an effective nuclear reaction of a thermal neutron and a nucleus in a boundary region of crystals is determined. Many experimental data of nuclear transmutations in the surface layer or surface region of solid materials loaded with deuterium supposedly induced by nuclear reactions with a thermal neutron are investigated using the nature of the neutron Bloch wave in solids. The physics of the nuclear reaction phenomena is discussed in the trapped neutron catalyzed fusion model.

Keepin' it Real in Port-au-Prince
Yesterday concluded a all-team strategy meeting in Port-au-Prince, The HQ contingent flew down to Haiti for the event–making this the first Haiti team meeting that didn't feature Skype participants. The meeting followed closely behind the 1-year anniversary out of coincidence, but the team couldn't help but be a part of the activity surrounding the event.
Kate Stohr, the program director, has been on the ground since last week attending various meetings and conversations. She relates her January 12 in Port-au-Prince, from the middle of the international recovery effort:
"Today most people went to church. About midday impromptu street parties broke out and there was music and crowds on street corners. What a wonderful way to be remembered.
We were stuck in meetings all day. With expats just down here for a short time meetings started with a moment of silence. But our meetings with Haitians started with a story in each case about how they'd only narrowly escaped. They all said how glad they were to meet and do something meaningful. We'd given our staff the day off thinking that people would not work today. So that was a bit of a change of plan.
One woman's children, now in the US called to check on her. After she hung up she told us her story (by grace of the fact she wanted to save a small amount of money, she and her team were spared). Then she commented, 'I am the parent. I am the one who should be worrying about them. They shouldn't be worrying about me.'
Today there was no clean water at one of our sites. Each day brings challenges. Those who like those odds make progress. One investor we met who has been here ten years said you can't let any of these things stop you. You just keep going.
We talked a lot about the demographics here. Some 40 percent of Haitians are under 40. The bell curve is very telling. Haiti has a baby boom generation coming of age. And so few role models to guide them. Most professionals wear three hats. There is no such thing as conflict of interest here because there often is no one else capable at hand to do the work. Education is the most important work here. Especially vocational training. Preferably at night. Our schools will also have to wear many hats.
On an inspiring note, it looks like we may be able to add a permanent art installation from a local artist into our schools. A sculpture, ironworks...Our own mini WPA. So I have spent the whole day wondering what these might look like and how we can do it. How we can help the students commission the artists and what it would be like to start the day inspired in some small way."

"I've been lucky enough to live in Silicon Valley for a while, and work for a small start-up company down the street here that did quite well. So I'm unemployed by choice," former Google Director of Consumer Marketing and Brand Management Doug Edwards told President Obama at a town hall in Mountain View, Calif., last month.
"My question is: Would you please raise my taxes," Edwards asked.
It's not every day that an American citizen asks the president to raise his taxes. But Edwards is not just any American. He is one of more than 100 "Patriotic Millionaires" who have signed a petition asking the federal government to "raise our taxes."
Unfortunately, it is not just their taxes that they want raised. Every millionaire who has signed the Patriotic Millionaires petition is perfectly free to donate to the United States Treasury at any time.
They can even designate which government program or services they want their money to help fund. In 2010, about $316 million was given to the federal government voluntarily.
Almost $55 million was given to the National Science Foundation. About $56 million was given to the National Institutes of Health. These are examples of real patriotic Americans putting their money where their mouths are by giving more than is legally required by the federal government.
But that is not what Edwards and his supposedly Patriotic Millionaires want to do. They want to use the federal government to force other millionaires to give more of their money for other people's priorities.
Here is how Edwards told Obama he would like his extra taxes spent: "I would very much like the country to continue to invest in things like Pell Grants and infrastructure, and job training programs, that made it possible for me to get to where I am."
What, exactly, is stopping Edwards from investing his own money in any of these things? Take education, for example. Just six miles down the road from the Computer History Museum where Edwards asked for higher taxes to pay for more Pell Grants, is the East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy.
Operated by Aspire Public Schools, 93 percent of this charter high school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. And of the 21 seniors in its inaugural 2010 graduating class (the school now has 160 students), all were the first in their families to go to college.
The East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy is a nonprofit that eagerly accepts donations so it can expand the number of first-generation students it sends to college. If Edwards wants to invest in education to make it possible others to be successful like him, the East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy is a great place to start.
And maybe Edwards does donate to the Phoenix Academy, or some other educational nonprofit. We don't know if he does because he has refused to talk to reporters since his town hall question.
But thanks to the Center for Responsive Politics, we do know that Edwards has made substantial investments in the Democratic Party. Since 2000, Edwards has voluntarily given almost $300,000 to Democrats. Democrats who, if elected, would take more of other people's money involuntarily.
"The U.S. government is not a charity. Its how we work together to achieve national aims," Garrett Gruener says in a Patriotic Millionaire video. This is half-right.
The federal government is not a charity. But neither is it the only way we as a society can work together. Local governments, nonprofits, even corporations, are all examples of people working together to achieve goals ... all without coercion from the federal government. Instead of asking Obama to take more of other people's money, maybe Edwards should ask them to give it voluntarily.

Sutsos out, Baylis in as Fish and Game Commissioner
Ironically, Sutsos didn't need to vote for the meeting because Richards and Kellogg already had Sutton outnumbered on the vote. Rogers was absent. But by voting, clearly, Sutsos showed he wanted more time to review the document. Kellogg even alluded to the fact that he was a new Commissioner and new to the MLPA documents.
The MLPA environmental document covering all the closure options for the South Coast Region is over 500 pages.
Unless he's a speed reader and stays up late cramming, Baylis will be up against it Wednesday when asked to vote on such a complex issue. But again, don't be surprised if he votes to halt any kind of extension to the comment period for the public.

On the Road to Colorado
Sunday morning, at the demonic hour of 2:30, Marlboro Man woke up the kids and me and told us it was time to leave for Colorado. We've had a family ski trip planned for long time and have all been so excited about spending a week in the mountains with Tim and Missy and their kids. But when Marlboro Man told us it was time to load up, we all said, in unison, the following:
"Forget it. We changed our mind. Family ski trips are dumb, stupid, and mean."
Then Marlboro Man carried us all to the car, gave us all a pillow, and that's the last thing I remember.
The next thing I knew, it was daytime and I could see mountains in the horizon. Thank you, Marlboro Man, for making the drive seem half as long!
There's downtown Denver! Ahhh, the mountains. My second favorite topography in the whole, wide world.
There's my Ugg, which I was wearing without socks. I am not ashamed to admit this since conducting an informal Twitter poll the other day that revealed a great number of people do not wear socks with their Uggs.
If you wear socks with Uggs, how in the world will you feel that glorious fuzz between your toes?
That is the question.
While I had Marlboro Man in my grasp, I had him answer some questions some of you had from Friday's post. I would have answered them myself, but I didn't want to be a know-it-all.
Also, I didn't know the answers. At all.
Just curious to know how the cattle are shipped. That's a lot of truckloads of cattle. Or are they shipped by train? Also, who takes care of them in southern Oklahoma?
They are shipped by truck. It took 10 semi-trucks to haul these 950 steers. Each truck can only legally haul 50,000 pounds of cattle. These steers weighed a little over 500 pounds, so we loaded 95 per truck.
Where in southern Oklahoma are the cattle going?
Our farm is near Waurika, Oklahoma.
Who takes care of the cattle and who rides down to the farm with them?
The truck drivers are responsible for the cattle in transit. At the farm, we have two cowboys, Todd and Colt, who take care of the cattle full time.
Looks like Marlboro Man and the kids had a good long day. Did they get to eat Ree's meat sauce for dinner?
Yes, and it was very good.
My question is: You can really deworm cattle by spraying something on their backs? I thought you had to do an injectable ivermectin for cows?
Yes, there are wormers for cattle that are topical. They aren't quite as effective on some internal parasites as some of the injectables are, but it does have the added benefit of preventing lice.
Here's a question I've always wanted to ask you: Do you and your family take advantage of your local Extension Office?
Yes, and most of the ranchers in this area do.
How does MM carry a full-sized DSLR while working cattle on horseback? R-strap? Holster bag? Normal strap?
I carry it in my hand—no straps or bag. Fortunately, I haven't dropped it yet, but there have been times when the cattle aren't cooperating and I've had to unexpectedly ride up to them…and those times are a little dangerous for the camera.
I'm curious to know how the cattle react to being moved. Does it stress them out or are they all just used to being moved about?
It mostly depends on how you handle them. The easier and smoother you handle them, the less stress they will experience. There are certain breeds of cattle, though, that will get stirred up no matter how well you handle them.
I was surprised that the cattle are being moved via truck to a new location for the sake of feeding them. Shipping cattle can't be cheap. Wouldn't it be cheaper to bring the food to them?
Traditionally, shipping the cattle to where the feed is winds up being cheaper than the other way around. When you are grazing cattle on pasture, they have to be shipped in, then shipped out after the pasture is depleted.
MM and sometimes the kids ride with their "rein opposite" arm hanging straight down to their side. I've been told this is the proper way when riding western, but why? Are they resting their shoulder or what?
This is how one is taught to ride, but there are many times when you have to double-hand the reins to focus your horse on the cattle. Sometimes, when you're getting around a wild cow on rough terrain, you definitely need to get ahold of the saddle horn, but not so much to hold on as to be in position to push yourself free if your horse stumbles and goes down.
How long does it take to transfer 950 steers?
We had them gathered, worked, and loaded by 1:30 pm. it took the trucks five hours to make it down south, then they were turned out on the wheat pasture that same evening.
Why are you moving the steers to wheat pasture this time of year? My husband is taking the steers off wheat pasture to sell them.
We graze all our wheat off instead of harvesting it.
(End of MM's Q & A.)
When my baby saw the trees on the mountains, he said "Daddy, we've got to come back here with the saw and get rid of all these cedars." His eyes are trained to see horrible, demonic cedar trees anywhere on our ranch.
For they must be stricken from the earth.
I told him he might be a little outmatched. Oh, and that I don't think these are cedars.
And when we saw some big fences/nets attached to the steep roadside cliffs to keep rocks from falling on the road, my baby remarked, "Public health is vewy important."
I swear, I don't know where he gets this stuff.
I'll loan him out if anyone needs some entertainment on a long road trip, though.
Once we arrived at our destination, we had to eat. And drink lemonade.
I ordered something involving elk. I took photos, and I'm going to be posting about every single thing I eat while I'm here, including the snow I'll ingest when I face-plant into large snow drifts while attempting to ski later today.
There are ten of us, plus my two nephews from Dallas.
In other words, there are twelve of us.
Renting skis was an odyssey.
Their mama, on the other hand, ain't.
I would like to predict at this time that if anyone in our group tears his anterior cruciate ligament, it will be me.
I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist.
And I'm the child of an orthopedist. These things can't help but cross my mind. And when I do tear my ACL, I'll be more ready than the average person because I'm already expecting it to happen! So I'll have the last word!
Skiing and eating adventures to come,
Pioneer Woman

We live in Fort Collins…about an hour north of Denver. Welcome to CO!! Hope you have a great trip! Those mountains are the reason we moved here 10 years ago (ok, that and my husband's job offer….but the mountains were calling, too!) You should come back in the summertime too…maybe for a book signing. Just saying….:)
Terry in Divide On Monday, February 27 at 5:40 pm
We moved to the Colorado mountains from Florida 2 years ago. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the mountains. If you want a peek at the rural side of things, head out to the boonies of Divide, where we live, and where it's totally gorgeous. And there are even cows, so you won't get lonely.Right now they're starting to pop little tiny cowlets.
Terry in Divide On Monday, February 27 at 5:45 pm
I forgot to mention, we have hairnets on the rocks, too. That's what I've always called them. Were you on 24? And if anyone wants to see the glorious beauty of the mountains up here…even though it was an overcast day, and I just had my little point and shoot…
Tish On Monday, February 27 at 5:41 pm
I recognize those views, but we usually head into Denver and the mountain towns for hockey games rather than skiing (Aspen, Vail, Eagle… all have nice rinks!). I hope you all got helmets to go with your skis (says the mom who ended up at the ER watching her then 7yo get a CAT scan after a hard fall at Breck- and that was WITH a helmet). If you happen to stop in Colorado Springs on the way home, I'd be happy to give you a tour of the Air Force Academy and direct you to the Chef's Catalog store just down the road (currently having a sale on soon to be discontinued Le Creuset items). I can also introduce you to my husband's and daughter's orthopaedic surgeons if necessary.
Emmie in Tucson On Monday, February 27 at 5:41 pm
Oh the MM question and answer part was sooo interesting! thanks for that! only, I would have 20 more questions tho… Be safe on the slopes and only say what you want!! God bless you with a SAFE and happy vacation!!
Melissa M On Monday, February 27 at 5:44 pm
All this talk about tearing and breaking. My knees hurt just reading this. I need an Advil!
Barb On Monday, February 27 at 5:50 pm
Good luck with skiing ~ Me, I prefer sitting in the lounge by a fire sipping hot chocolate.
Deanna S On Monday, February 27 at 6:11 pm
OMG! I LOVE YOU! You are sooooooo funny! You brighten my day!
I must say, I'm a little bit in love with MM…respectfully speaking. Growing up on a farm in NE, I don't know a lot of men that would be so patient in answering ranch/farm questions…although my brother is one of those gems too! He used to come into the house and give the women-folk the scoop before we moved cattle. Dad was not so good with the communication. You had to read his mind!
I also love the comment about the cedar trees…darn things! I would have to add Russian Olive trees to those too up where I'm from!
Jesse On Monday, February 27 at 6:13 pm
the guy working there looks like Heidi montang's husband…Spencer. They are reality stars…creepy how similar they look.

My old home!!!! Thanks for the pix of Colo! I knew exactly where you were in each one of them! Such a great state and oh how I miss it! Have great fun!
Jackie B On Monday, February 27 at 6:48 pm
When did you ski? Because I was up in Vail on Saturday and will be up again (somewhere) again this Saturday….Man, would I love to run into you guys…..
Jackie B On Monday, February 27 at 6:49 pm
Also, there a le creuset outlet in silverthorne/dillon
Sarah Ball On Monday, February 27 at 7:12 pm
Welcome to Colorful Colorado! I'm glad that you and your brood have plenty of snow to ski on up in the mountains, but I love the 50 degree day we had down here in Denver, today. The snow can stay up above 9,000 feet.
Donna F On Monday, February 27 at 7:30 pm
Can I just say that your little man melts my heart? On Saturday's show when he told his big brother that it was okay if he didn't get the same cowboy boots as he had, I had a put-my-hand-to-my-heart-and-say-"awwwww" moment. What a doll! And I agree with him about the cedars!
Layne On Monday, February 27 at 7:34 pm
Don't do what I did the last time I went skiing. Was coming down the hill pretty fast……love anything fast and as got into a braking position,my knee chose that moment to blow out and I ran into the little snow bunny instructor posing on the hill with her cute little outfit and all She was not happy after picking herself out of a snow drift but she ignored my yelling LOOK OUT My time skiing is in by the fire with glass of wine
Janrinn On Monday, February 27 at 7:37 pm
Question: Why don't you want cedar trees on your ranch?
shejen On Monday, February 27 at 7:43 pm
Be safe and enjoy your family and your vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kathy On Monday, February 27 at 7:51 pm
Having lived just south of Denver for the last ten years, and having grown up on flat land – I know what that feeling is like when you look at the mountains. I enjoy it daily! It is great to see the photos of you coming through town. I knew exactly where you were each time!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and be sure to come back.
April On Monday, February 27 at 7:58 pm
Ree, my girl, y'all need to try snowboarding! Much less stuff to haul, much more fun and easier. My daddy and I did it as a bonding trip when I was a young 17 y/o and he a mere 37. After falling on our butts for two days, we finally got the hang of it and dad said he will never ski again! I agree. Skis – way to hard, and no ACL tears with boards! (I would recommend wrist guards tho!)
Have fun, I'm jealous – I miss my trips to rockies. It's been too long!
PS – why are cedars so bad? I love 'em!
TXAnne On Monday, February 27 at 8:00 pm
We did a car tour in CO in the fall. Lovely to see the mountains with snow. We saw the beautiful golden Aspens. When we were driving back to TX we passed a lot of feed lots. Hubby wondered if your steers ever wind up there.
Tiffany M On Monday, February 27 at 8:07 pm
Thanks so much for posting these pictures. We are from Denver but stationed in Ft Bliss, TX and love being able to see our home You made my day! Have fun and kiss the sky for me!
Jill On Monday, February 27 at 8:15 pm
Being a newbee to your blog, its fun to hear of your families adventures and what life is like on your ranch.
I have the recipe for your parmesan chicken sitting in my seriously rediculously stacked high pile of recipes I want to try. Its an addiction at this point.
Will be coming to your book signing up here in April, I am bringing my daughter along with me. Cant wait. It will be a fun night for us.
Ms. Cathy On Monday, February 27 at 8:19 pm
More ….more…more…pictures of the fun with the kids and MM, please.
Ali On Monday, February 27 at 8:22 pm
Love the pictures of Colorado!! I'm from there, but haven't lived there for many years. It just 'takes me back' whenever I see pictures from there. Hope you have a really great time!!
DeeDee On Monday, February 27 at 8:28 pm
Welcome to Colorado. We love living here, but still wish that we had a place like yours. But the 40 acres we have with our horses and doxies is heaven to us. Hope you enjoy being here!

LOVE skiing in Colorado! Have spent time skiing at Aspen several times (and also in New Mexico at several areas) and have traveled all over Colorado. Colorado skiing is SO different than skiing out here in New England–Ree, you should try the east coast skiing sometime. I grew up skiing on corn and ice (terms for the kind of snow on the east coast) and when I finally got out west to ski in powder–WOW! I couldn't see my boots, just glided through powder snow up to my waist, and realized what a whole new world I was skiing in. Love those Colorado mountains!!!!!! Have fun on your ski trip!
Robin On Monday, February 27 at 8:33 pm
I always read your blog, but have only commented once. But today I just had to come back to thank you for the smile, I should say the millions of smile… a million times thanks!
Penny On Monday, February 27 at 8:36 pm
Hope you have a fun and injury-free trip. I tend to be the one to warn everyone to be careful…and then promptly trip, slip, fall or spill! Maybe in our family, that counts as "taking one for the team"
SueT On Monday, February 27 at 8:40 pm
I hope your knees survive! We too are headed to Colorado skiing in a few weeks. I am also very concerned about the health of my knees. While I'm not the daughter of an orhtopod, I do work with them. Well anyway, I hope your family has an awesome, injury free trip!
TigerLily On Monday, February 27 at 8:57 pm
Welcome to Colorado! Enjoy our incredible blue skies. Hope your trip is wonderful and without that ACL thing you mentioned.
Grandma Cheap Cheap On Monday, February 27 at 8:59 pm
Welcome to Colorado. The weather today was sunny but a little chilly. Hope you find our neighbors welcoming, hope your skiing is safe, and the food fantastic.
If Charlie and Walt could have come…………. Ruff ruff
Nancy in CO On Monday, February 27 at 9:00 pm
Whenever family and friends visit me, I always take them west on I-70 and just wait for their gasps of awe coming out of the Eisenhower Tunnel for the first time. Truly a spectacular site! On the return trip, east of the tunnel at Georgetown, make sure to watch the westbound shoulder area. Almost always big horn sheep grazing and they are always fun to see! Oh, by the way, summer in the mountains is fun, too, so come back and see us in a warmer month!
jen On Monday, February 27 at 9:22 pm
where are you skiing? we flew down from Canada last year to ski at Steamboat and LOVED it.
TracyDQ On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:29 am
yay Steamboat! (it's my home)
Mama M. On Monday, February 27 at 9:35 pm
Ahhhhh…Colorado. I've always wanted to go there! My brother once told me that Colorado has something like 340 days of sunshine a year…how can you not love that?! Enjoy…and look out for those fearless babies on skis who'll whiz past you on the hills and make you feel like an uncoordinated nincompoop. Not that I know, or anything.
Janice On Monday, February 27 at 9:39 pm
Hope you have a wonderful vacation. Looks like you're off to a great start.
Joanne On Monday, February 27 at 9:59 pm
You're gonna love it and have a great time! Colorado is gorgeous.
Jayne On Monday, February 27 at 10:01 pm
I hope y'all have a really fun trip. You could use it after the rough week y'all just went through. Have fun skiing and know I'll be praying for protection for you, Ree.
ronnie rae On Monday, February 27 at 10:33 pm
So close yet so far away. Wish you were doing a book signing here. Hope you enjoy your vacation! My husband and I are both Colorado natives. Just a little bit of Colorado history, My husbands grandfather won a contest in 1950 which is now why it is called Colorful Colorado. Hope you come back soon for a book signing.
Steffani On Monday, February 27 at 10:44 pm
It is so exciting to see pictures of my stomping grounds from someone else's view. Just got lots of snow and more on the way!! Have a lot of fun and wish I was there – dang work! Someone has to teach 3 year olds their ABC's and how to count!! Drink LOTS of water, my brother (a student at OSU) always gets altitude sickness because he doesn't drink enough water. Cheers!!!
K Davis On Monday, February 27 at 10:56 pm
So happy to see you are going to ski in Colorado. Thanks for helping the economy here. I love to ski and know some of these resorts well. Do you need a guide?
Carolyn from MD On Monday, February 27 at 11:33 pm
Hope you had fun! My husband and I were in Denver for business and we went out to Eldora on Sunday. We live in MD, where the skiing isn't too great, so skiing in CO was a treat. It was such a great day for skiing!
laurenbtrain On Monday, February 27 at 11:42 pm
dang it!!! we just left CO last week!!! we could have been bff ski bunnies together! p.s. LOVE MM's Q & A. what a smart guy ya have there!
Katie On Tuesday, February 28 at 12:46 am
Hmmmm I may have to adjust my stance on Uggs without socks. I'm beginning to think that I might be missing out!
cecelia On Tuesday, February 28 at 1:03 am
Well, I'm glad the ranch families are seeing some new sights and enjoying themselves,. Your girls are sure loverly.
Cathy On Tuesday, February 28 at 4:12 am
Great pics, I was in CO, Fort Collins, several yrs ago and loved it. Life in upstate NY and do so live hills and mountains. Will you miss cooking during this trip?
Thank MM for the answers, your way of life is very different and it is wonderful your generosity of sharing it with so many of us.
Your kids are a hoot. Make memories and enjoy your trip.
Sandy On Tuesday, February 28 at 4:42 am
Loved the MM Q&A! I learned a lot! Have fun on your vacation ~ and speedy recovery (if necessary).
Jules On Tuesday, February 28 at 5:19 am
Wow what an amazing part of the world you live – you lucky thing! Jules x
Joy On Tuesday, February 28 at 6:33 am
Loved the MM Q&A. Very interesting
Karen Cupcake On Tuesday, February 28 at 7:25 am
Awwww! I would love to be in your place! i have a current hip injury or else I'd be there! So jealous! we've made that drive from Dallas MANY times! I love it when you see the mountains you get all giddy inside knowing you are A L M O S T there! (not really though.. Hahahaha)
On my third ski trip I tore the acl in a spectacular fall on the hill… YARD SALE! hehehehe! They were so nice in the valley hosp… packed it in ice, gave me a brace and some fabulous meds and as long as I did not STRAIGHTEN the knee, I skied the rest of the week! back HOME however the recovery was llllooooong time. Then there was the tailbone break………….. um….. yeah. Anyhow… Im super jealous you are there and I am not! Dont break anything, and I hope you have a blast!
Lynn from For Love or Funny On Tuesday, February 28 at 7:34 am
Have a great vacation, Ree! You and your family deserve it!
Cici On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:00 am
Have fun – love the mountains and love your son's vewy important comments!!
Karen G. On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:01 am
We will be going to Colorado as well in a couple of weeks, but will be NOT be leaving at at 0230 am!!!! I plan the trips because if i wait on my husband, well, we would never leave OK. But after reading about some of your trips, I'm beginning to think that Marlboro Man and my dad could be related in some way! My dad liked to leave around 7 pm so all of us kids and especially my mom would sleep through the whole drive!!.
marianne in mo. On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:23 am
Just read you're in Colo. Wondering if you're at Keystone. My DD was there on Mon. taking a side trip while visiting her sister in Colo. Springs. My second favorite place to be also! My DD who lives there is deciding they will build a home permanently there for them to return to after fufilling her DH's military service with the AF. That means we will be able to visit and enjoy the beauty of the area often, if I can get my DH to drive there again!! It's 12 hours from us by car, but worth it! Hope you have a great time and don't hurt yourself!
TracyDQ On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:27 am
Next time, ski Steamboat. Then I can run into your clan, cause that's my home. Fun to see pics of I-70… :0) Have fun, it's been a GREAT snow week. If you had come two weeks ago, there wouldn't have been any snow.
TracyDQ On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:30 am
ps I thought you were supposed to wear UGGS without socks, they are warmer that way.
Tami On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:37 am
Ree – you need to go back and get some more pictures of that handsome worker that was helping your little boy out. looks like he has a tattoo on his right arm? Strictly for documentation purposes.
NeverSayNever On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:46 am
DONT CHANGE TO THE SHORT SKIIS!!!!!!!!! Broken bones waiting to happen!
Amy Mac On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:50 am
No wearing socks with Uggs! It's repetitive AND the one time I tried it my socks were bunched around my instep most of they day, which was uncomfortable, thus ruining the whole point of Uggs. Which is, obviously, to keep my toes happy. Have a great vacation!
Maria On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:59 am
We just returned Friday from skiing in CO! Your pictures look so familiar. It was only my 3rd time skiing and while I wasn't good, I really enjoyed it, but I have torn my ACL before and the snowplowing I did wasn't good on that knee.
Karen Russell On Tuesday, February 28 at 9:04 am
Every one of our ski trips to Colorado involve a stop at Beau Jo's pizza in Idaho Springs. You MUST stop there and sample their pizza. Fabulous!
the emily On Tuesday, February 28 at 9:37 am
I tore my ACL skiing back in 2001 and I've only been a handful of times since then, one of which was this past weekend. I am always slightly terrified for the first 25 runs but then it's just fun, fun, fun. I loved it! My poor husband, on the other hand, had a terrible time (his first time) and I don't know if I'll ever get him to go again.
Jody On Tuesday, February 28 at 9:54 am
I got so excited when I saw your first picture! That's my hometown you were passing by! Strasburg, CO has changed so much from when I was growing up. But I still love it. If you get hungry on the way home, stop by "The Cafe." Good food served by great people!
Kim in TX On Tuesday, February 28 at 10:05 am
How darling to wake up and read about your adventure!! But, nooooo on the ACL tear! That's my trick (and the last time I skied). Coming down the mountain with the Ski Patrol is no fun, doesn't matter how cute they are…of course I didn't start snow skiing until much later in life but I'm so glad I got in a few good years! Tahoe, Mammoth, Steamboat, Telluride, Deer Valley, ah, great memories!
Hope everyone has a GRAND time! May the snow be plentiful, powder soft and waist deep! Be safe! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Catrin On Tuesday, February 28 at 10:56 am
Fun to see my my backyard in your photos!! Enjoy your ski trip:)
PS – I never wear socks with my UGGs. That is the best thing when I can't wear sandals!!
Bakers Buttons On Tuesday, February 28 at 10:57 am
My home state! Ree – it's really OK if you don't ski. I'm born and raised Colorado and I'm not a skier. I much prefer the lodge, by the fire with a large mug of something hot and delicious. I'd even come make the trip and give you some company by the fire! Have so much fun and drink lots of water! =]
Kathy Second Fiddle On Tuesday, February 28 at 11:00 am
"Yes, and it was very good."
I Do love your interviews with MM. It reminds me so of my beloved, short and to the point. Plus I learn stuff.
Hope you have a blast.
Angie P. On Tuesday, February 28 at 11:25 am
Looks like you are having fun and I particularly enjoy the answers from MM!!! Love to hear about the ranching side of things in addition to your cooking! I work with ranchers in the Sandhills of Nebraska so I love it!!!
Tammy On Tuesday, February 28 at 12:10 pm
I just shared this with my third graders! We just read a story called "Yippee Yay!" about cowboys and roundups, so it was perfect timing to show them a real roundup!
Therese On Tuesday, February 28 at 12:29 pm
Definitely sockless with Uggs. Second on the glorious feel of the fuzz. My worst fear is that I will go someplace and be required to remove the boots. Then people will get to see my WINTER feet (not a pretty sight)! Have fun!
Nic On Tuesday, February 28 at 1:20 pm
I am a lifelong resident of Eagle County, CO and am happy for you and your family: FRESH SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS!!
p.s. watched your show for the first time last weekend and loved it. GR8 recipes, you seem so down-to-earth. NICE!
claire On Tuesday, February 28 at 1:30 pm
this is where I am from and I totally recognize all of the photos! it makes me miss home that much more!
Nicky On Tuesday, February 28 at 3:15 pm
Excellent explainations from MM about the cattle industry. Education is the best way to promote a safe and healthy product! We feed cattle in the Flint Hills and also proclaim death to all cedar trees! Enjoy your family vacation, you have all earned some time away. God bless…
Laura A. On Tuesday, February 28 at 3:29 pm
Welcome to Colorado!! Enjoy your ski trip! I'm the one who would end up with an injury as well, so I stay clear of anything involving skis or snowboards. This is when a fireplace, a good book, and a hot beverage are my best friends.
Teresia S. On Tuesday, February 28 at 4:07 pm
I need to know this! Why are cedar trees demonic on a ranch? Please advise.
Thank you.
Ellen M Ondo On Tuesday, February 28 at 4:37 pm
Welcome to Colorado! I moved to Loveland Colorado about six years ago and have never ever regretted it. To wake up each morning and look at those majestic mountains is awesome. We camp and go Moose hunting (with our camera) all the time. Cameron Pass is a great place to go in search of some totally breathing taking pictures. Enjoy the beauty of our great country!
Shanna On Tuesday, February 28 at 4:50 pm
Are you stopping in Denver while you are here? I know a ton of people who love your recipes and we would all love to meet you.
Connie On Tuesday, February 28 at 6:25 pm
I hope you don't tear your ACL on the slopes. I have. But if you do, you should know that you are allowed to say many bad words over and over again! All will be forgiven.
king david moving On Tuesday, February 28 at 6:26 pm
This is a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I hope to read more of your post which is very informative and useful to all the readers. I salute writers like you for doing a great job! King David Moving
Louise On Tuesday, February 28 at 6:33 pm
Love your posts. It should be a beautiful week here in Colo. Even though I live here believe it or not we don't ski, but love looking at the snow on the Mnts. and taking drives up there.
Suzanne W On Tuesday, February 28 at 7:23 pm
OMGosh, you are so funny, love the beautiful pictures of the mountains, sure looks pretty. Enjoyed the Q & A's, nice to have more of an insight of the workings on the ranch. I am a very big fan of Western Riding, just love it. Hope you enjoy your trip. Keep up the posts. Look forward to hearing of your adventurs.
KATHY On Tuesday, February 28 at 7:56 pm
Tell MM thank you for answering all the questions. Have fun and don't break anything!
barbara On Tuesday, February 28 at 10:30 pm
ENJOY a wonderful time with family, playing and one of the most absolute gorgeous area of creation in our country……but if that ACL fails……they have some great orthopods in Vail…..even for someone older than 25!
Joycee On Wednesday, February 29 at 7:17 am
"Cedars… stricken from the Earth!" Isn't that the truth, he's one smart little boy! They have taken over my Mom's farm at Lead Hill since it's not being worked anymore. Breaks my heart to see it go back to raw land. Twelve people on a road trip, wow. I'm just thinking of how you pack and get that all done. MM is amazing, work all day, sleep a couple hours and then drive to Colorado! I saw a Food Network show recently where the baby said he was thankful for his Mom's good cookin' and that his Dad was his Dad : )
Ann in WI On Wednesday, February 29 at 7:39 pm
I love the MM Q&A!!!!! So interesting, so "pioneer" LOL That was my love of this blog in the first place. Back to the ranch and the animals and leaving the city for 10 mintues a day.
Thanks for that I enjoyed it! What ever happened to all the mustangs are they still there? How about George the dog? What about that new boarder collie girl? She still around?
Leanne P. On Thursday, March 1 at 8:20 pm
Vail looks amazing! We lived in Colorado for a year and never ended up skiing. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I tore both of my ACL's in high school and it would definitely be realistic of me to think it was destined to happen yet again. I will have to settle for living through your blog. Stay safe and have fun!
Joelyn On Friday, March 2 at 9:40 am
Ree and Family, It looks like you're having an awesome time together with your family. That's what it's all about isn't it? When our family gets the chance to go on a vacation I find myself saying at the end of the first full day we're there, "Oh man we only have 5 days left and we have to leave and head back home!" I know that sounds kinda negative but it's just such a great time to be away and it goes by so quickly, kinda like everyday life, but we just don't realize that! Be safe and make lots of memories!
Melody Leavitt On Friday, March 2 at 10:34 am
/we are dairy farmers in Kansas, with my husband also doing a lot of cropland. I am definitely with you on the demonic cedar trees – all over the pastures and in my yard even. I go around on hand and knees trying to find them before they get over 2″ tall, while I can still hand pull them. Mowing them seems to do little… their stems just get bigger even though they are topped off. I am also allergic to them, so I just hate that they spread everywhere!
angie On Friday, March 2 at 10:58 am
can I meet Anna
Karla Jo On Friday, March 2 at 12:49 pm
Love the picture of I-70, exit 310, Strasburg, Colorado…where you woke up and could see the mountians…..that is our little town……so glad you are enjoying your trip……..
Vanya On Friday, March 2 at 6:30 pm
Okay… I live in NZ. We drive on the other side of the road and we don't have four lane highways… which is why I spent five minutes looking at the top picture trying to figure out why all those cars were in the other lane!!
Laura On Saturday, March 3 at 10:44 pm
Looks like y'all had a great time! I'm from the south and the one time I convinced myself to embrace the snow and go skiing I nearly fell off the side of the mountain! lol I absolutely love your show and I'm completely envious of all your horses and land. God's truly blessed you with so many talents!
Eileen On Friday, March 9 at 8:15 am
What a wonderful time you guys had in Veil. I remember many spring trips to Breckenridge and Keystone and Copper Mtn. with my kids. What a glorious time we had and great memories. Glad you and your fam. enjoyed the great state of Colorado.
Susan On Sunday, March 11 at 9:41 am
I live in Denver and the road you drove is so familiar! LOL Glad the weather was good for you while you were here!

A great way to give your dining room an updated and upcycled look is with repurposed scrap fabric turned into patchwork. Look to your own wardrobe to collect your scraps. Heavyweight fabrics from retired shirts, jackets, and pants work great. Leftover fabric from past projects are also a good scrap source. Stay away from ones that have a lot of stretch and your patchwork assembly will be simple.
I intentionally chose two chair frames that were similar, but didn't quite match. This way, when I want to add to the collection, I can continue with the same color scheme, but can go with slightly different chair styles.
Once you've finished your patchwork chairs, don't forget to make a matching table from an old door. Select one of the colors from the cushions to paint the tabletop and it's the perfect pairing for your patchwork.

CELLPHONE firms are praying video-on-the-move will be the next big thing. In the hope of cashing in, many invested billions in bandwidth licences to develop the latest 3G phones. But they may have wasted their money because you can watch videos just as well on upgraded 2G phones - if last week's demos in Las Vegas are anything to go by.
Five companies - Microsoft, NTL, Tandberg, Texas Instruments and RadioScape - showed how a standard 2G phone network will happily relay video to your mobile from digital radio transmitters. You wouldn't need to use the new 3G network of 20,000 base stations set up in Britain, for instance.
The key is digital audio broadcasting technology invented for digital radio. From the outset, digital radio was designed to cope with receivers that were on the move. Because the DAB signal is spread over many narrow channels, each one only has ...

Changelog: 1.6 Fixed issue with missing buses after using favourites. Added weatherbug temperature in top right. It will show "R" before temperature if there is a 40% chance of rain. Favorites should be working great now and app remembers the route criteria you last used. 1.5 Compensated for broken nextbus api. Added toast notifications under lock screen so you'll still know when bus that you're waiting on is coming without unlocking screen 1.3 * Optimized OneBusAway service to be more data efficient * Fixed timing issue with directions which cause app to crash 1.2 * Fixed issues with Seattle area and OneBusAway service * New progress bar mechanism * Retry service call with backoff if xml data is not what's expected. (Sometimes services re-initialize for maintenence) 1.1 * Utilized Nextbus directly rather than through proximobus * Added CTA, Trimet, BART, OneBusAway and MBTA subway services. * Refactored to use reactive rx * fixed application errors that would sometimes occur (retry to get data from service with backoff for up to 5 times) Now you'll know where the bus is now!!! Realtime Transit provides you with predicted arrival info from the public transit system... As of this writing, software supports Nextbus, CTA, Trimet, BART, OneBusAway and MBTA subway services.. These services together aggregate realtime data in Massachussets, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland and more. In addition Bing Maps provides transit directions if you don't know which bus to take and walking directions to the stop you want. Features: * quick glance-and-go startup to the stop you looked at last * realtime tracking of public transit arriving at a certain stop * transit directions if you don't know which bus to take * walking directions to the stop you selected * favorites * mapping of routes, stops and vehicles on the route * fast route selection similar to wp7 phonebook * application is FREE with non-obtrusive advertizing
4/24/2015Constantly force closes!
9/24/2014A real good app. Works for me on Chicago Transit.
7/30/2014I love the app, but I keep getting errors when using trimet. I hope they fix it soon. ^_^
2/1/2014Shows "Me" on the map, but when I press "Closest Stop" it zooms to stops almost 10 miles away. It is also agonizingly slow.
5/16/2013This is the *only* good real time bus app for the MBTA. Don't waste your time with anything else.
4/25/2013Bad before, but with the update it crashes after four seconds, so I don't have to dwell on how bad the app is.
3/13/2013Awesome ...really worked for me.can't tell about others. But it's really simulates the real time locations of buses (unlike others) ;-)
1/26/2013Overall tracking of busses is generally spot on. Error with favorites with Trimet. Always defaults to the Max blue line instead of the favorited route.
9/18/2012Very nice for MBTA in Boston. Would gladly pay; awesome that it is free! Addition of live tile updating would be nice.

Remembering first Ali-Norton matchup, in San Diego 40 years ago today
Tom Cushman figured he was bound to be disappointed.
When he arrived in San Diego in March 1973 to cover Muhammad Ali's fight against Ken Norton, Cushman justifiably believed that it had little chance to match — or even approach, really — the spectacle he had witnessed in person just the night before: the famous game in which Bill Walton missed only one shot while scoring 44 points to lift UCLA to its seventh consecutive basketball championship.
Heck, Ali himself didn't seem to expect the bout to be much more than a glorified sparring session. Early in the week leading up to the Saturday clash at the old San Diego Sports Arena (now the Valley View Casino Center), Cushman — the boxing writer for the Philadelphia Daily News — was observing one of Norton's workouts in Mission Valley when Ali showed up. Mistaking Norton's unorthodox style for rank incompetence, Ali remarked — loudly enough for Cushman and others to overhear — that his opponent looked like an amateur.
"He was gloriously overconfident," recalled Cushman, who went on to a 20-year career as sports editor and columnist at what became The San Diego Union-Tribune. "He didn't consider this guy a threat at all."
The signs of a devil-may-care attitude were prevalent that week, and Cushman saw them all: Ali shamelessly flirting with a comely travel agent; Ali whacking golf balls at a driving range and spraining his ankle in the process; Ali signing autographs and posing for pictures in a hotel parking lot three hours before the opening bell.
By the time he realized that Norton was no tomato can, it was too late. Forty years later, the outcome — Norton not only beating "The Greatest" in a 12-round split decision, but breaking his jaw — has reserved the fight a place in history as one of the most stunning upsets from the storied era of the boxing heavyweight, and as one of the most memorable sporting events ever to take place in San Diego.
"It's iconic, and it lasts through the ages," said Ernie Hahn, the general manager of the Sports Arena since 1996. "A lot of people say to me, 'Oh, that was an incredible fight. I didn't know it was at your arena.' It was a big, big deal."
The presence of the larger-than-life Ali in any fight — much less one in San Diego, a city with scant boxing tradition — made it a big deal, but its legend mostly grew in retrospect. At the time, the matchup was considered just another built-in victory for Ali on the two-year road toward a rematch against Joe Frazier, who had handed Ali his first career loss and taken his championship belt in 1971 (Frazier, in turn, had lost it to George Foreman).
Frazier, in fact, was at the Sports Arena on the afternoon of March 31, 1973 — the fight was during the day to accommodate a national broadcast on ABC's "Wide World of Sports" — with his manager, Yancey Durham, to scout Ali and possibly begin negotiating a rematch. Of course, Frazier knew something Ali didn't — that Norton was a formidable foe, his development no doubt accelerated by a $400-a-week gig as a sparring partner for Frazier in Philadelphia.

Meet a Roadrunner: UTSA Professor Emerita Marian Martinello
(Sept. 4, 2013) -- Meet Professor Emerita Marian Martinello.
Martinello joined the UTSA faculty in 1975 and retired in 2000, but she has remained affiliated with the university in various capacities: She returned briefly to serve as associate dean for research in the College of Education and Human Development, regularly attends a reception welcoming new faculty to campus, and recently served on a subcommittee to develop the new Academic Inquiry and Scholarship course.
She also is a longtime donor. These days, she's also a frequent visitor to the Libraries' Special Collections, where she is delving into the Mexican cookbook and photograph collections as research for a young-adult novel she's penning about a chili queen in 1880s San Antonio.
But last month, Martinello did something she has not done in more than a decade: She unpacked the pale blue doctoral gown of her alma mater, Columbia University, to wear at the Fall 2013 Convocation. She was one of five members of the UTSA Retired Faculty Association, of which she is president, who walked in the ceremonies welcoming new freshmen to UTSA.
"I always participated in commencement because I felt it was important to be there for the students," Martinello said. In fact, at her final commencement before she retired, she was tapped to serve as the university marshal and carry the ceremonial mace in the processional.
But after that last ceremony, she said, "I took my cap and gown and packed them up."
As they have expanded their activities and outreach on campus, members of the RFA decided it was time to pull their regalia out of storage. RFA members José Jimenez, Carolyn Kessler, Raymond Padilla and Joel Saegert also participated in this year's convocation.
Donning her regalia and taking part in the faculty processional once again after a 13-year lull reaffirmed her connection to the university's community of learners and scholars and "brought back beautiful memories," she said.
It reminded her not only of colleagues and former students, but also of her own efforts as a faculty member at a growing university: developing new courses and programs; designing and implementing teaching innovations in the classroom; preparing instructional materials; and even competing for grants.
"The cap and gown are symbolic to me of academic achievement, not just my own," Martinello said. "As a first-generation college student myself, I understand the difficulties of attaining undergraduate and graduate degrees. When I completed my doctorate, I made a commitment to help younger generations of students learn and earn their degrees.
"My cap and gown speak to me of the thousands who have studied with me in their quest for academic achievement. It is also symbolic of the work and achievements of all who have and will come after."
Do you know someone who gives back to UTSA? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will consider your submission for an upcoming installment of Meet a Roadrunner.

"If the drawing is wrong, the fresco is wrong." With that,
master craftsman and fresco instructor Walter O'Neill began a fresco workshop
that I attended a few weeks ago at the Morgan Library & Museum, in New York
City. Fresco painting has become somewhat of a lost art over the centuries even
though many great art masterpieces have been created in buon or "true"
fresco, the painting technique in which pigments are dissolved in only water
and painted directly onto a wet lime-plaster wall. As the wall dries, the
chemical reaction between the plaster and the air allows the pigments to fuse
directly into the wall. Leonard's The
Last Supper, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel works, and Raphael's School of Athens were all created in
this manner.
I'm always
surprised-and, okay, a little peeved-when my mention of an arts
background is
often met with a puzzled look followed by the somewhat skeptical
"What do you do with that?" The truth is there's a lot to do with that,
especially now-at a time when images are all around us, where a website
can so
easily turn into an artist's own gallery and exhibition space, and
collectors, gallerists, publishers, and fans can easily find and follow
whose work they respond to and respect.

OTTAWA - New GDP data from Statistics Canada shows Alberta led the country in growth in 2011, followed closely by Saskatchewan.
The Canadian economy as a whole expanded 2.6 per cent in 2011, slowing somewhat after a 3.4 per cent expansion in 2010.
But in Alberta, the economy picked up speed, buoyed by high energy prices that encouraged extraction and exploration in the oil and gas patch.
Alberta's economy surged 5.2 per cent last year, after a more tepid 3.3 per cent expansion a year earlier.
Saskatchewan grew 4.8 per cent, thanks to strong export demand for its natural resources.
Canada's biggest province, Ontario, saw sluggish 2.0 per cent growth in 2011, led by mining and exploration, as well as manufacturing.
The only part of the country to see an outright contraction was Northwest Territories, where economic output dropped 5.5 per cent, led by a big decline in diamond mining.

Set to air on Sunday, December 9th at 9:00pm ET, "Feliz Navidad Con Los Nuestros...Tony Bennett y Sus Amigos" is a unique mix of live performances and filmed vignettes related to Bennett's newly released CD, VIVA DUETS - which features the singer performing his greatest hits with today's top Latin music artists.

Survival tips for Online Marketers after Google Panda
Are you working in online marketing or interviewing for your next online marketing job?
If you are you might find this blog interesting.
In 2011, Google changed the way it ranks websites in google searches. The old way to achieve a high Google ranking was to have key words relating to your product/service repeated throughout your website. This approach has now evolved and changed.
Google now rank websites based on a number of things including:
- Meaningful fresh content
- Relevance of site to the search
- Length of time spent on your pages by the reader
- Key words
We have noticed a number of companies in Cork rebuilding and updating their websites to accommodate this and as a result are beginning to see the fruits of their work. If you work in online marketing or you are applying for an online marketing position, this is absolutely something you should be aware of for 2 reasons:
- When interviewing for marketing positions, there is a strong chance you will be asked how you would improve SEO for your potential employer. Adding more meaningful and relevant content to your website is the one and only way to achieve this.
- If you are not interviewing but working in marketing, you need to be working towards updating your website to ensure that you are following the Google Panda guidelines so that you are best promoting your company, increasing its SEO and doing your job. Surprisingly not a lot of companies are aware of this so now is the time to create clear water between you and your competitors!
Working for Morgan McKinley in Cork, I have seen first hand the benefit of changing our website to adapt to the new Google panda guidelines. Through cutting out the information our readers were not interested in and replacing it with meaningful content (such as market insights, blogs and video content) we have noticed our ranking increase as well as a higher volume of traffic coming through each month so it really is a no brainer. Take a look at the following guides and start making improvements today!
This Panda Infographic sums up the main panda guidelines very well. If you are an online marketer or are currently interviewing for your next online marketing job and would like more information on latest SEO trends then I would love to hear from you!

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Read The Virility Ex Reviews If You Want A Bigger Penis!
Many men feel the need to enlarge their penis and they are not short of products, formulas and gadgets which claim to help them do this!
The choice can be quite bewildering so in this article we will start at the top of the pile in terms of such products, and consider what the Virility ex reviews are saying about the number one male enhancement supplement.
Before we do this let us first understand how your penis works in terms of you having an erection;
Your penis consists of three erectile chambers.
As you become sexually aroused your blood-flow increases into each of these three chambers while the outflow of blood from them decreases.
This is what produces an erection. The more blood you can 'push' through these chambers the better the size and strength of your erection.
This is where Virility ex comes in. The highly effective all-natural ingredients it contains will help to increase the blood flow to your penis helping you to achieve stronger and longer erections on a regular basis.
What can Virility Ex do for you?
It is also claimed that with regular use of this formula along with changes to your lifestyle, and by following the penis enlargement exercises given, that you will increase the size and girth of your penis.
You will also rid yourself of any erectile dysfunction problems, and when you do have sex you will last a lot longer. Not only that but your orgasms will be more controlled, and your sperm will be stronger!
How can it do this?
The all-natural ingredients it contains have been specifically targeted to boost the flow of blood to your penis and to heighten your testosterone levels.
When reading Virility ex reviews it will become clear that these two things will ensure you regain your libido and begin to enjoy sex once again.
Who should use this supplement?
In short any man who feels his libido is lacking; who is short on confidence when it comes to the bedroom, or for those who wish to perk up their sex life.
Why does it claim to be so effective
This is down to the all-natural ingredients it contains. These ingredients have been used for centuries with regard to male erectile issues, but the manufacturers of Virility ex claim to have found the perfect mix of 13 individual ingredients to make up this highly effective formula.
Word of caution
If you are purchasing the supplement simply because you expect it to enlarge your penis without making any lifestyle changes then you will be disappointed. BUT if you make the recommended changes, use the supplement regularly, and follow the penis enlargement exercises given then you will be delighted!
Closing comment
Men who suffer from erection problems or a lack of libido should not be embarrassed to understand and talk about this. They should also not be embarrassed to consider the use of this highly effective supplement.
I suggest you start by reading a variety of Virility ex reviews as this will put you on the right road to a far more satisfying sex life.

Hi, I am a keen veggie grower, filling every inch of space in the garden with edibles, netting the veggie patch against three beautiful hens. We had our house on the market for three years, fed up of waiting for the new village allotments in North Wales to get going (local resistance) but when several offers fell through we gave up and got the chickens. Six months later the house sold so we had to rehome our girls and have moved into rented accommodation with the dogs, and are now looking to buy our own piece of land. Our options are to buy land in this country and rent a house, while working in less stressful jobs just to pay the bills, and growing our own food and fodder for goats and chickens, or to move abroad where we can buy a small holding with house and barns and still have capital over to live until we become more self sufficient and pensions kick in. The latter is favourite at the moment.
In March we are going over to beautiful Bulgaria for an intense tour of properties for sale in the Veliko Tornovo region, and have made contact with ex-pats who have guided us in which areas to avoid and which are good. We would want to integrate with the local community and are not looking for a "Little Britain" ex-pat community.
Wherever we go we will be having chickens for eggs and meat (For OH, I am a near veggie) loads of fruit and veg, goats, eventually, and are exploring solar power. If in Bulgaria we will also have a well, for the garden and animals.
I have been practicing drying foods with an electric dehydrator, though OH is determined to build an outdoor one if we move to BG, and make all my own chutneys and jam. Next to try is bottling and cheese making. All very interesting to a foodie like me, and exciting.
This is me.
