Is America Saying Adios to Foreign Oil?
Joshua is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Change can be an investor's best friend. It gives the most astute investors the chance to find hidden opportunities. In the oil market such a transition is happening right now. China's oil imports are expected to surpass America's as soon as October, 2013. Every day growing U.S. producers are displacing their foreign competition.
Why Are These Changes Occurring?
A number of factors are driving down U.S. oil imports. New EPA standards will decrease fuel consumption until the 2020s. Also, slowing population growth is decreasing the projected U.S. population all the way into the 2050s.
On the production side big changes are happening. The growth of unconventional oil sands and shale oil resources in North America is decreasing demand for imports. Even Saudi Arabia has stated it does not want to increase its own production. With many fields in the Middle East slowly declining and China's buying spree, there is simply less fuel left to bring to U.S. soil.
CLR Total Return Price data by YCharts
The Winners
Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR) is a poster child for new American oil. Its operations in North Dakota's Bakken region are significant with around 1.2 million net acres as of Q2, 2013. By using horizontal wells and a little bit of ingenuity, it managed to bring its oil production to 135,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boepd). Thanks to the low sulfur content of Bakken crude, Continental receives a pretty penny for its wells and has a strong profit margin of 30.6%.
The Bakken is starting to mature, and pipelines are slowly being built to the region. To keep on growing Continental is heading south to the SCOOP formation in Oklahoma. The company's recently completed wells are producing 37% to 45% oil. While this is nowhere near the highs set in other formations, SCOOP's close proximity to refineries along the gulf coast should help its margins.
With its investments in the SCOOP formation, Continental should be able to increase its production from 98 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoepd) in 2011 to 300 MBoepd by 2017. By moving more rigs to Oklahoma, it should grow its earnings per share (EPS) to $6.97 by 2014. Given the company's proven history in the Bakken, its aspersions in SCOOP are realistic. At a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio around 22, Continental is a very attractive American growth story.
Kodiak Oil & Gas (NYSE: KOG) is much smaller than Continental, but it is another good Bakken play. It is expected to decrease its average number of drilling days per well to 17 in 2013 from 32 in 2011, thereby shaving off a little more than a $1 million in average well costs. With its proved reserves in the Williston Basin around 86% crude oil, its future margins will be solid.
While Kodiak's overall profit margin of 17.5% is not as strong as Continental's, Kodiak is still a strong company. Its market cap is only $2.5 billion, allowing Kodiak to pursue small opportunities and still provide substantial growth. It recently expanded its Williston Basin acreage to 196 thousand net acres, giving it plenty of room to boost production and grow its EPS from $0.50 in 2012 to $1.01 by 2014.
Investing with a time-frame of a couple years is enough to ride Kodiak's growth. Given Kodiak's larger growth prospects due to its small size, its P/E ratio around 25 is warranted.
The Loser
While Canada is traditionally a strong oil exporter to America, declining U.S. imports are putting a damper on the Canadian oil market. In the long term, oil sands producers like Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU) should be fine, as pipelines are built to export Canadian oil to Asia.
Suncor has a number of upgraders that allow it to refine the oil it produces, but recent U.S. shale growth forced the company to cancel its planned Voyager project. Suncor's margins have suffered as it competes in an increasingly crowded market. Its gross margin of 54.9% and profit margin of 7.1% are nowhere near the numbers put out by Kodiak or Continental.
Suncor's long-term picture is more encouraging. The Canadian oil sands are enormous, while America's horizontal wells struggle with production rates that quickly decline. The company is hoping to boost its production by 300 Mboepd by 2020 through upgrades to its oil sands operations and the development of offshore fields in Newfoundland and abroad.
The U.S. is weaning itself off of oil imports, while China is moving in the opposite direction. Continental Resources and Kodiak Oil & Gas are attractive U.S. growth investments. Continental offers more diversification with its recent expansion into the SCOOP field, while Kodiak's small size should make it easier for the company to double its profits in the next couple years. Suncor has been on the losing side of America's oil boom, but over the coming decades pipelines will be built that will allow the company to sell more oil to China.
Think the days of $100 oil are gone? Think again. In fact, the market is heading in that direction now. But for investors that are positioned to profit from the return of $100 oil, it can't come soon enough.

0 notes &
In light of this revealed God, WE have to walk a line; a line of truth. And at the heart of that line is two seemingly incongruent facts: one is that WE CANNOT KNOW or COMPREHEND EVERYTHING. It's just not gonna happen. We are finite creatures comprehending infinity. We are temporal creatures trying to comprehend eternity. And we are stationary creatures trying to observe a creation we can see so little of. We are the creation trying to comprehend the CREATOR and because of that, there will be times when we CANNOT understand things about him. It is just beyond us in the same way that it is beyond a goldfish to do quantum physics. And when we TRY to explain things that we do not know or comprehend; and when we TRY and explain things that God has not revealed, we end up just making stuff up!
Of course, on the flip side of that coin is the fact that WE DO KNOW THE THINGS THAT GOD HAS REVEALED ABOUT HIMSELF. And those things are true even when WE can't seem to comprehend them! Because of that, we can tell the world that we do not have some vague ominous God who is "out there somewhere MAYBE". NO. You and I worship the God of Israel; you and I worship Jesus of Nazareth; You and I worship God as he has revealed himself: and that is as ONE GOD in THREE PERSONS. The theology of the Trinity.

Daria Werbowy Photographed by David Sims for Vogue in May 2009
If a derivative of the blazer has been your go-to winter cover-up, it's time to make the switch to a warmer-weather alternative. Cue spring's new essential: the kimono wrap. Gone are the sharp edges, fixed lapels, and heavy fabrics of the boyfriend jacket. This season we're falling for the kimono's liquid-silk allure.
Today's incarnations may still evoke the traditional Eastern romanticism of the beloved characters in Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha, but these modern T-shaped garments have traveled a long way since Paul Poiret first cut a maverick Oriental-inspired cloak back in 1911, even since Christian Dior showed Madame Butterfly couture in 2007. While those designs were fit for nothing less than a high-octane opera outing or a black-tie charity extravaganza, spring's runways were awash with everyday, urbanized midi and maxi updates that promise to sweep just as effortlessly—but far more romantically—over high-waist pants or floor-length frocks, in the same way that our trusted blazers have these past few cooler months. Whether Dries Van Noten's bed-ready tunics, Céline's minimal, quilted sleeveless vests, Alexander Wang's utilitarian frock–trench hybrids or Haider Ackermann's sumptuous jewel-tone tops, the new kimono offers a welcome shot of lightweight glamour to balmy summer days and nights.
Photo (from left) Marcio Madeira/firstVIEW ( Haider Ackermann); Monica Feudi / GoRunway.com (Céline); Marcio Madeira/firstVIEW (Alexander Wang); Marcio Madeira/ firstVIEW (Dries Van Noten)
Says Ackermann, "The fainting of the fabric on the floor and revealing of the neck brings back a certain sensuality." And for full effect, he recommends using "graceful gestures" that allow it to "gently slide off your shoulder." Squared obi belts: recommended; tabi shoes: optional.
Click through for a slideshow of Vogue's picks for blazers' silken successors.
wei what is this shit (the stuff after Read More is even worse) that's not a kimono, that's a kimono-INSPIRED design....
Bought mine Friday morning. Sits on my hips, in black. ;)

Thank you for your opinion
Thank you
Thank you, You know those fingers in the upper corner, is probably the reason why i never completely fell in love with that photo.
Your portfolio is wonderful, of course. I have seen your work before.
What a beauty.
I love the emotion in this
18+ http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/09 … 77f9a6.jpg
Out of your whole portfolio, there is really only photo that didn't really care for
I can't really pinpoint a reason why, i just think the rest of your portfolio is far better
Technically two, the last one which is similar to this one, never got any responds besides yours. The other one isn't even about my work. :]
Thank you
Best (My favorite)
I know most people on here wouldn't be too into it, just because its a family portrait, but i love the storytelling in this. Its such a beautiful family portrait.
I really like the colors and the models expression.
Too much hair covering her neck, it wouldn't be as bad if there wasn't that eye cut. but the mixture of both just keep me from liking this photo.
Its not bad, but the lighting could have been a lot better.

Good but short expansionmahon | Aug. 30, 2013 | See all mahon's reviews »
While waiting for Assassin's Creed IV, it's always good to play some Assassin's Creed III. And the good thing is there is a plenty of additonal content for the game. Even if you're done with the Washington tyranny campaign, there's also this Hidden Secrets Pack. It adds three missions, each taking you to an interesting location - including old Mayan ruins. Then there are some new skins and weapons (the latter must be earned with your progress throughout the pack) and new multiplayer characters. Sounds perfect, doesn't it? Well, there's one downside to this pack - it's short. The whole pack can be completed in about an hour, which is not very impressive if you expected a full-sized expansion. So it's well done, nice, interesting, full of additional stuff, but not long enough for me.

Fit Blogger We Love: In Sweetness and In Health
Written on February 2, 2012 at 3:23 pm , by Samantha Shelton
Lindsay is a girl of many trends…workout trends, that is. She loves mixing up her routine and details her journey over at In Sweetness and In Health. We chatted with the dessert-loving blogger to find out how she balances food and exercise cravings, and what 90s song keeps her sweating, even today.
My favorite way to work out: Intervals! I love doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts on the treadmill and I'm obsessed with completing tabatas. I love how challenging, hardcore and quick they are!
My biggest indulgence: Frozen yogurt topped with a lot of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I could seriously eat that every single day and never get sick of it. The problem (or good thing, depending on how you look at it) with frozen yogurt is that it doesn't taste super rich, so I always feel like I can eat more!
My gym bag must-haves: My iPod Nano and headphones, Gymboss timer and a heart rate monitor.
Most embarrassing song I'll admit I work out to: "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and songs from the Broadway musical, "Hairspray."
My fitness mantra: Find something you enjoy so that fitness becomes a core part of who you are and not just something you do!

BOSTON (AP) - Despite promises by state officials to cut the number of homeless families being put up in hotels, the number of has shot up to near-record levels on pace to cost taxpayers nearly $1 million a week.
The state was putting up 1,710 families in motels around the state at $82 per family - or $140,220 per day - as of Thursday.
The number of homeless families in hotels and motels reached a peak of about 1,800 in December. That was down by 30% by March, three months after state officials promised to phase out the program they said was not cost efficient.
The number has since jumped again.
Aaron Gornstein, undersecretary of Housing and Community Development, tells the Boston Herald (http://bit.ly/17nRkHA ) this month's jump was more than officials expected.

We're about two weeks removed from the Pitt and Syracuse ACC announcement that caused the conference realignment mess to blow up and there are still not many answers about the future for WVU. If you listen to the experts and/or message boards, one day we're staying in the Big East and adding new schools to the conference, the next we're headed to the SEC or Big 12.
Nothing's become official yet, but one thing that keeps coming up in the discussion is WVU's image, when it comes to both academics and fan behavior. Our region, in general, and our state have had an image problem as long as they've existed. We have to admit that some of it is deserved, while a lot is simple ignorance from outsiders. That aside, those image issues follow anything associated with West Virginia, including its flagship university.
Outside of the general Appalachian stereotype, WVU has its own image concerns: party school reputation, couch burning, profane T-shirts, object-hurling fans and now violence. The academics shouldn't be an issue. There are tons of very intelligent people from all over the world who go through WVU and like any other public school(and many private ones), there are some people who, for whatever reason, can't cut it. As the gentleman who wrote this points out very well, WVU has the stats to back it up.
The real issue is the behavior. The immediate defense from most Mountaineer fans(I'm guilty of this too) is to say that other schools have badly behaved fans too. It is true that there are nasty fans outside of Morgantown. At Maryland alone, I've been hit with lit firecrackers, witnessed students light fires in campus parking lots and have seen fans wearing shirts laced with profanity. At South Florida, fans pushed my friend's pregnant wife. I've heard plenty of things come out of Pitt fans' mouths that would make many a sailor blush. I can't count the number of times I've heard fans using vulgar chants at other schools and said to myself, "Well at least we're not the only ones." Ok, so it's not just us, and in some cases it's the schools who are turning their noses up at us, but does that make it ok?
Are we as Mountaineer fans just numb to it because it's what we're used to, or do we just get a bad rap because of the actions of a minority? The answer is probably some of both. There are tens of thousands of Mountaineer fans who go to games and don't contribute to any of the problems. There are fans though, most of them young and students, who apply an "anything goes" mentality to Morgantown. We have to admit, that to some extent, anything does go in the University City. Officials have done a good job cracking down on the fires, but there still aren't that many cities in the country where you can walk around with an open container of your favorite alcoholic beverage, park dozens of cars in your front yard and be drunk in public without much fear of being ticketed or hauled off to jail, just because it's game day. All of these things are technically illegal in Morgantown, but how do you enforce them when 50,000 to 70,000 people descend on the city?
Language is an issue in itself. Spend time around even middle school students these days and you'll probably be surprised at what flies out of their mouths. By the time these kids get to college they've got a vocabulary that would make Andrew Dice Clay jealous. The students spend the majority of their time, in dorms, apartments and bars with other students who talk the same way and aren't offended by it. When they get to the stadium or the Coliseum, many of them forget that other people at the games don't live the same lifestyle. This is an issue nationwide, but some of our fans take it to another level at times.
There are two big questions that come out of all of this. The first is: what can be done about these issues? Short of vastly increasing the number of law enforcement/security personnel at the games, I don't know how you control a lot of this. The other thing about it is that some of the behavior is simply distasteful, not illegal. I really don't know how you enforce taste. I do know that the more you try to tell most college students what to do, the more they want to do the opposite.
The second big question is: are our fans really that different from fans of other schools, particularly the ACC and SEC, and is that a reason to keep us out of a conference? I've only had the opportunity to attend one game on an SEC campus and I don't remember the atmosphere being particularly good or bad. I've heard stories from lots of opposing fans after visiting Morgantown. Many have nothing but good things to say, others have horror stories. While it would be easy to say that is what life is, good and bad, Mountaineer fans should probably collectively make an effort to make sure more of those visiting fans' memories end up on the good side of the equation. Let's leave the beatings to the scoreboard.

Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
AN OFFICIAL paving stone commemorating Stratford-upon-Avon's forgotten war hero for the 100th anniversary of the First World War will be placed in the town, the government has confirmed. Rex Warneford – the first man to single-handedly shoot down a zeppelin - was ignored in the government's initial plans to recognise Victoria Cross winners because he was born abroad in India. The Herald launched a campaign, together with King Edward VI school, where Rex lived and studied for five years, to get the fighter pilot recognised.
THE Prince of Wales is visiting Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick today (Monday 2nd June).
Prince Charles is scheduled to make a series of visits to mark historic anniversaries in both towns, Warwick's 1,100th anniversary and Shakespeare's 450th birthday.
The day starts at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford where the Prince will meet young people and view a short performance of Henry IV by Stratford students.
He will then visit King Edward VI School to view the classroom where Shakespeare studied.
Around lunchtime the Prince visits Shakespeare Hospice in Stratford before going to Warwick School and then to Warwick Castle which are both celebrating their 1,100th anniversaries this year.
Later, Prince Charles will attend a performance of Henry IV Part One by the RSC in Stratford.
For a full round-up of the Prince's visit plus plenty of photos, see Tuesday's Midweek Herald and Thursday's Stratford Herald.

Gary Vaynerchuk: 12 Wines for Under $12
Published on - May 8th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
Wine is one of those little things that bring me pleasure. I enjoy discovering new wines, but I'm not a wine snob. As I've mentioned before, my favorite wines are those that taste great but don't break the bank.
I recently asked Gary Vaynerchuk — host of Wine Library TV — if he could suggest some good inexpensive wines for spring and summer. Gary put together a special episode of his program just for GRS readers:
"You want to talk about 'get rich slowly'? Look for value plays in wines," Gary says. "If you don't overspend on wine, you've got more money in the bank!"
He makes a great point. As with anything, the key is to find value. Find wines that you like that don't cost an arm-and-a-leg. I used to buy $40 and $50 bottles of wine. Sure, they were great — but you know what? I've found that it's actually more fun — and certainly better for my budget — to find wines under $10 that I enjoy. One of the best parts of frugality is the sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing you've found something worthwhile without spending a lot of money.
Here are the bottles that Gary mentions in his video:
- Domaine De Laure Rose 2007 (~$7) — Gary says that a rosé is a perfect wine for spring or summer, served chilled while sitting on your porch.
- El Hada Verdejo Viura 2008 (~$8-$9) —
- Dolianova Vermentino Di Sardegna Prendas 2007 (~$12) — "Great with shellfish."
- Beau Joubert Sauvignon Blanc 2008 (~$8-$9)
- Chateau Pesquie Les Terrasses 2006 (~$10-$15)
- JT Cellars Petite Sirah 2006 (~$9) — "Bigger and more complex than sirah."
- Correaux Beaujolais Villages 2007 (~$7-$11) — Gary says that "beaujolais is an amazing play with fish."
- La Sera Barbera D'alba Il Cielo 2006 (~$12) — A great alternative to chianti. Goes well with veal and pasta.
- Fiorano Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2007 (~$8-$9) — "A pizza wine for a Wednesday."
- Quiteria Loma Gorda 2006 (~$10-$12)
- Seidelberg Pinotage 2006 (~$9-$10) — Gary says that pinotage is "a very controversial grape." (Ha! I love it. "Controversial grape.")
- Barrandica Mendoza 2005 (~$12) — "Tastes much better than most $25 California cab-merlot wines."
You may not be able to find these exact bottles in your supermarket or wine store. That's okay. If that's true, then try to find the same varietal. If you can't find the Dolianova Vermentino Di Sardegna Prendas 2007, for example, then simply look for a vermentino. (Even that might be a challenge.) The key is to be adventurous. Don't just drink pinot noir and chardonnay. Try new things.
"Go out and explore and expand your palate," Gary says. "Try different wines, wines from Argentina and South Africa and the south of France. So much great stuff out there…Get out there and try new things. The only way you're going to know if you like a wine is if you taste it."
When you do find a wine you love, write it down. If you discover that it's within your budget, stock up. Consider buying a case. That's what I've begun to do when I find a wine I like. Over the past year, I've purchased two cases of wine, and I want to purchase one more. The one-time expense can seem huge, but in the long run, buying in bulk will save me money.
Luxuries like wine (and chocolate and good cheese and…) can be difficult to justify for a frugal shopper. But if you budget well and shop carefully, you can enjoy drinking wine without spending a fortune.
Previously at Get Rich Slowly, Gary Vaynerchuk has offered advice on how to find good wines at great prices and inexpensive wines for a romantic dinner. You can catch more of Gary at WIne Library TV.
This article is about Food
Love it.
"It's all about the marathon…"
I have been making my own wine. I buy the grapes in bulk when they are .98 per pound and freeze them. Cost is about $15.00 for 3 gallons of wine and making it is super easy. Our guest are always surprised when I tell them its homemade and not store bought.
Two Buck Chuck @ Trader Joes.
I am from the wine region of New York, which for some reason is not all that well-known. The wines in the area are so great, full of fruity smell but still dry on the tongue!
I don't know if they have them out your way JD, but you should check out some of the whites from Atwater Estate, Dr Frank's, Billsoro Winery, and more. They all have shipping from their sites (although I think state laws prevent them shipping to some areas). The Rieslings and Chardonnay's are especially good. Although, 2007 was a great year for their reds, very warm and dry.
My fiance and I just went on a wine tour (we do several times a year) of the area and the '07′s are glorious! We bought 8 bottles for $84. Now just to resist opening them too often!
Excellent! I'll be bookmarking this so that I can refer to it later when I go grocery shopping- Thanks Gary and JD.
wine.woot.com might be helpful, although sometimes their prices tend to the higher end, and shipment is limited to certain states only.
I go to BJs liquor store (no discount card needed) and they have Wine Spectator and similar ratings on the wines. I try lots of new things because I only buy rated wines under 10$ — I've found some lovely wines!
If you find a wine that you really like, you should ask if there is a discount on purchasing by the case. I can't speak for everywhere, but I know around here you can often get a 10% or better discount that way.
Good post JD.. I need to expand my horizons past Pinot Noir and Cab Sav..
But I'm NOT DRINKING F!CKING MERLOT!!!
I think I'm the only one that cannot tell the difference btwn a $500 bottle of wine and a $5 bottle. Its all the same to me.
I really enjoy Chenin Blanc wine from South Africa – various vineyards, and I've liked them all. Almost always under $12.
Alright! It's "Get Drunk Quickly" on Get Rich Slowly
I look forward to sampling some of these
Haidee that's what we do
1) try inexpensive wines that have a high rating (wine spectator?). If you can do it systematically (by grape) you can get a better feel whether a) you like that type of varietal, and what kind in that varetal you like. Everyone's taste is a little different, when you find a wine that you love AND is inexpensive it is even more satisfying to enjoy.
2) write down the names that you like, next year you might like it still
3) buy in bulk. The 2 main grocery stores we use have a 10% off by the case. We have not done this yet but plan to in the future.
Regarding expensive versus inexpensive I know what I like; I'm generally easy to please but there have been times certain wines I haven't cared for and it doesn't necessarily correspond to price.
The pleasures of a glass of wine with a delicious cheese, and fresh/dried fruit are truly worth the value.
Now I can clearly see why Gary is the wine guy for wine library tv – he's got passion in his eyes.
Great guest post J.D.
Corbett Canyon Cab. for 5.85 in neck of the woods.
Like the video blog…just not the NYJets spittoon!
I love Trader Joe's. I've bought tons of bottles of wine under $10. I make a list of my favorites, but to be honest, I love trying different ones. We buy pricey bottles rarely. We enjoy many under $10 bottles. There are some under $5 bottles that I haven't enjoyed, but there was one $50 bottle we bought once that I didn't like also. With the under $5 bottle, I just chalked it up to be something to avoid. I felt like I wasted my money on the $50 bottle.
Price is certainly no indicator of quality. We drink what we like.
Anyone know if there is anything like this for small cask local liquors? I'm not a big wine drinker but I'd be into trying new local bourbons and the like.
Well, let me be the first.
1. Wine is a want, not a need.
2. Want to save the most money? Don't buy any.
This is awesome! Gary rocks, he's so passionate and knowledgeable, and I like that this segment is focused not just on inexpensive wines, but on trying new things. Yes, it is cheaper to buy that two buck chuck, but it gets old. Not everyone is gonna be interested in learning about wine, but for foodies like myself who are trying to deal with a budget, this is great. I'm totally inspired to go find some of these wines and pair them with delicious food. And I agree that rose, for the spring and summer, is so where it's at.
I recommend Winking Owl. It's a good tasting cheap red wine that can be picked up at Aldi for $3.29. They also have some other beers and wines that are significantly less than what you would find at other grocery stores.
Very helpful article. I love finding delicious and inexpensive wines, but don't have the patience for a wine book. I did find a sweet wine-lovers social networking site that makes it easy to rate and review wines and makes recommendations based on your prefs. It's called snooth.com and it's free.
Absolutely terrific post J.D.! Thank you Gary! I know not much about wine, except what I do and don't like. T Joes is a terrific place to sample wines from around the world. Just yesterday I picked up some fantastic wines from South Africa, Chile (who could resist 'Diablo' on the label!?), Argenta, and France. All $10 or under.
I've often wished I'd kept a database about wines I have enjoyed, it's sage advice. A friend spent 6 weeks in South Africa and brought me one of the most delicious wines I've ever tasted, and I failed to make a note of the label. Haunts me to this day!
Incidentally, my doctor told me to enjoy a small glass of red wine every evening. Just one glass, not too much. Good for your heart, your brain, and for lowering your cholesterol. Best prescription I ever received! )
I have bought wine by the case when traveling (by car) and the price was right, but I was already in shock at how much cheaper liquor is in other states. Stinking Puritans, making this a liquor control state. Woe is me!
I'm not in the States, so I can't get these wines.
What we do is go to the local hypermarche when they have the big sales and see which wines are almost gone.
One time we got lucky enough to be shopping when a gourmand restaurateur was shopping..they had notes. We followed at a discrete distance and picked up some good stuff.
Kentucky has some great wineries (35 of them) and the prices are great. Pick up a case or two when you pass through.
I can personally recommend Stonebrook, Smith Berry, Equus Run and Acres of Land Wineries.
My husband and I also seek out wines under $10, and lately we have been loving Raw Power, a shiraz that is as oaky and dry as a tempranillo. Highly recommend it, and looking forward to trying these others!
Thanks for sharing– I will have to try these.
May I add my two cents?
I enjoy wines of all prices, and have kept labels/written down ones that I've loved. However, take it one step further – write down *why* you liked it! This helps in several areas –
1) If you talk wine with friends, it will help you give better recommendations. If you know they like sweeter wines, you'll recall ones you had that you liked AND that were sweet.
2) If you recall Bogle Petit Syrah (one of my faves) tasted really good with that chocolate cake you had the other night, you'll know precisely what you want the next time you have chocolate on the menu.
3) My favorite reason…You'll start to notice different tastes in wine and be able to better compare and contrast them.
Good luck!
In Ann Arbor (and maybe other locations), grocery stores gave discounts on "bulk" wine purchases even if they were different brands. If you bought six wines, you'd get 10% off your purchase. I always bought wines by the 6-pack there.
I also checked out wine contest lists (luckily, the local grocery store posted them) to find ones that scored high but were still under $15.
For me, I find that wine is one of my great splurges. I don't wear makeup, and I bike to work every day that the weather is nice. Frugality in some areas allows me to be more lavish in my wine purchases.
My husband and I started drinking wine when we went to a vineyard in Thousand Islands, NY. This was the first time we found wine we could even stomach. We ended up buying a case of 12 bottles at a 15% discount (less than $10/bottle).
Now, we make wine out of the box kits (WineExpert) for $1.75/bottle (kit cost=$49.99 : makes 30 bottles of wine). Some argue that this really isnt wine, but we like it just the same. We have made over 4 kits in the last two years. We make Ice Wines for $3.00/bottle. They make great gifts for Christmas and Birthdays. Not to mention every time we go someplace for dinner, they ask, "Can you bring a bottle of your wine?"
The equipment needed to make wine was a gift from my mother ($200). Even if we would have purchased the equipment ourself, we have already paid it off with the amount we've saved on making our own.
We like Road Kill Red from the western slope of Colorado. Each year we have a winefest here as a fundraiser for a disabled resources outfit. Great way to taste lots of different wine. I shop with my wallet. I find that box wine (3 ltr.) is pretty good for about 12-19 bucks.

Orange Spice

One of my favorites (Monday, March 10, 2014)
This aromatic brew makes every cup feel like a holiday!
Averidge flavored tea (Tuesday, March 04, 2014)
This tea is okay but nothing more than that. It's lack of invigorating orange flavor and too much of clove etc., tastes like chai.
Needs more orange flavor (Tuesday, June 18, 2013)
I bought this tea because some of the reviews praised it very high, and I was disappointed.The tea didn't have enough orange taste, just plenty of spice [ not my favorite].
Spicy! (Saturday, March 02, 2013)
This is a good orange spice tea, but more spicy than orange and I was looking for more orange flavor. I do like it though, just have to be prepared for all that spice.
Very flavorful/spicy (Saturday, February 23, 2013)
This is the spiciest orange spice tea I've ever had. It's good, but the spice covers up the orange flavor a little too much. I do like this one though...Just have to be in the mood for all that spice!
Great Spice Tea (Thursday, December 06, 2012)
This is a great spice tea -- especially if you serve it with dessert, like chocolate cake or a New York Cheese Cake. I get compliments every time!
Like chai but better (Sunday, March 27, 2011)
This orange spice tea was like a nice chai, but with added orange flavor. I was surprised I could add milk without it curdling, but I could! This was a delicious warming drink for the winter.
The Spice! (Wednesday, February 09, 2011)
I'm a big fan of Orange Spice tea, but up until now have only had it made from tea bags. Somehow, and even with the higher end brands, there always seems to be a lingering taste of something artificial in the flavor of bagged Orange Spice tea. Not any more. I bought this on a whim and had it for the first time tonight. Wow, what a difference! This tastes completely natural and gets more delicious the cooler it gets. Tea and orange and cloves - what could be better? And as an added bonus is the scent. The perfume from the bag is so good, I'd wear it as an aftershave. And it wafts from the cup, so that everytime you take a sip your nose gets a treat as well. Oy, I've been ruined for anything else.

James, Heat take down Mavericks in OT
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - LeBron James finished just shy of a triple-double and the Miami Heat extended Dallas' overtime struggles by posting a 119-109 victory over the slumping Mavericks at American Airlines Arena.
James tallied 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Heat to a second consecutive triumph in extra time. Miami halted a two-game skid with a 112-110 overtime decision over Orlando on Monday.
Dwyane Wade added 27 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, which began the additional frame with a 7-0 run that eventually resulted in the Mavericks' ninth consecutive overtime loss dating back to last season. Chris Bosh and Ray Allen contributed 17 and 15 points, respectively, to the win.
Dallas was dealt its seventh setback in its last eight overall games as well, despite 30 points from O.J. Mayo and a season-best performance from Dirk Nowitzki in his sixth outing back from right knee surgery.
Nowitzki amassed 19 points and six rebounds in 29 minutes for Dallas, which also received a 14-point, 10-rebound effort out of Chris Kaman.

The Erie Police Department is now back at full strength, 173 officers. Three new officers were sworn in today, filling 3 vacancies created by recent retirements.
Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott today gave the trio of new officers their badges in a city hall ceremony. Many family and friends were there.
All three new officers are graduates of the Mercyhurst Police Academy. Two of them have worked at smaller departments. The third new officer spent 4 years in the U.S. Army.
They will formally begin their careers on April 1, with 90 days of training.
Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said, "It takes about 3 months to go through the field training process. They will have field training officers working with them. Three months from now, we'll cut them loose on their own. I'm sure they will do very well."

A decisive rebound by Daniel Munoz captured the victory in a tight game that was tied 3-3 going into the final minute.
The final goal came when Alex Valencia charged up the right side and passed to Jason Reading in the middle, who fired a kick at the goal.
"I saw an open space, and just took the shot and hoped for the best," Reading said.
While his effort bounced off the post, Munoz was positioned in front and kicked the ball in to put West up 4-3 with virtually no time left for Tracy to respond.
"We played hard at the end," said West's Jose Ruiz, who scored the Wolf Pack's third goal.
He said the previous time the teams faced off was in a scrimmage when Tracy outscored West, and his side was determined to make a better effort.
"We had a talk, saying that they beat us and we had to come back and show them who we are," Ruiz said following Thursday's contest. "We played a good game, and I'm very proud of everyone."
Until the final goal, the game was hard-fought between two quick and persistent teams.
West passed the ball well at midfield, but the Bulldogs matched the Wolf Pack's speed and were aggressive getting after the ball.
Grant Bessette of Tracy and Dan Barratta of West also both made saves on shots that could have put either team ahead.
West's Miguel Madruga scored first after Valencia passed to Munoz, who passed to Madruga for the shot.
Tracy responded when Cristian Ramos passed the ball up the middle and the Bulldogs' Byron Munoz, in a one-on-one battle with West goalie Barratta, shot the ball into the net.
Tracy's Munoz scored again two minutes into the second half after West's defence deflected a corner kick away from the goal toward Tracy's Munoz, who was there to make the shot.
Madruga scored again for West on an assist from Jose Murillo to tie it up at 2-2.
Madruga had the assist on the next goal in the 63rd minute when he passed from the right side to Ruiz, who made the shot from the center.
Tracy tied it 10 minutes later when Cameron Divoky sent a corner kick from the right to Jerry Pelayo, who was in position on the left side for a goal-scoring header, which made it a 3-3 tie.
Tracy's Munoz said his team matched up well against their crosstown rival, but just couldn't close it out.
"We hustled hard, and it was a great game," he said. "Unfortunately, they scored the goals, and that's how you win games."
West won the junior varsity game 3-0, with Ahmad Samady scoring two goals and Josh Avilar also scoring.

Publication: The Day
Last month brought some excitement in the way of space rocks falling to Earth, passing by Earth, or, as is periodically the case, supposedly threatening to snuff out all life on Earth.
In the early morning of Feb. 15, local time-late night on Valentine's Day for us-a meteor tore through the atmosphere above the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, injuring more than 1,000 people and blowing out windows across the region in a massive shock wave that sent smaller meteorites falling to Earth.
NASA scientists eventually estimated the meteor to be 55 feet around, 10,000 tons and clocked in around 40,000 miles an hour when it exploded.
The meteor momentarily shone brighter than the sun during the encounter, which occurred just hours before the 150-foot-wide asteroid 2012 DA14 passed Earth in an extremely close flyby approximately 17,000 miles away.
These events were coincidental and unrelated. We knew about the asteroid ahead of time. (The meteor was a different story-but thanks to ever-vigilant Russian drivers dealing with wayward pedestrian scam artists on their streets, the surprise spectacle was caught on countless dashboard cameras.) And in a couple of weeks, Comet PanSTARRS is expected to become visible to the naked eye.
Often when events like this occur, the news is reported with a bit of a twist. An approaching object is weighed and measured, then estimates are made as to the destruction said object would cause if it struck Earth.
Admittedly, the Chelyabinsk meteor added fuel to the fire, but almost every time, the object has a zero percent chance of intersecting with our planet. The media has a fun time spicing up the story anyway with doomsday prophecies that aren't going to happen.
Sky & Telescope magazine recently reported that PanSTARRS is already preparing to disappoint us, and is now only estimated to reach fainter magnitude +2 or +3 instead of -1 as originally hoped. That means it will still be visible to the naked eye, just not as bright.
Here's the issue: PanSTARRS is a new comet expelled from the outer Oort Cloud encountering the sun's heat for the first time. Comets making their first pass by the sun tend to blaze brightly early on, only to fade after a thin, initial coating of ice on the nucleus, or body of the comet, evaporates, S & T says.
The following discussion recently arose here in the newsroom: Just what is the difference between a meteor, comet and asteroid?
A meteor is a free-floating small rock or particle of debris - anywhere in size from a dust particle to 30 feet or so in diameter - that burns up as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. What we call shooting stars actually are meteors.
A comet is a relatively small solar system body that orbits the sun. They can have a periodic orbit every few years or just pass by once. As they make their closest approach to the sun, they display a visible coma (fuzzy outline) and sometimes a tail.
Asteroids are similar to comets in definition but lack a visible coma.
Bonus definition: If a meteor, comet or asteroid withstands destruction from its atmospheric entry and hits the ground, then it is called a meteorite.
Comet PanSTARRS was discovered about two years ago, likely after traveling for millions of years from the Oort Cloud, a reservoir of millions of small, rocky bodies orbiting the sun about a light-year away. PanSTARRS, which is named for the instruments that discovered it, will make its closest approach to Earth on March 5.
November 2013 will bring a similar comet, Comet ISON.
March 17: Conjunction of the moon and Jupiter. The moon will be about one and a half degrees away from Jupiter in the evening sky. Look for both objects in the west after sunset.
March 20: March equinox. The sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall in the Southern Hemisphere.
March 27: Full moon

Good Day Mr. Baker, I hope this message finds you well.
Having just 'discovered' Doctor Who in these last few months after losing my older brother, my greatest Hero, you especially have been incredibly helpful in bringing a smile to my face, well, along with my little Boy of course. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your awesome self with the world.
My question is, in times of great sadness, who or what inspires you to get through the day? I know I think of happy times, and of course life goes on for as long as it's going to, but it's sure a whole lot better during the good times. I hope to meet my Big Brother again, in some way, in whatever may be next after this life.
Very well met Sir, and Thank You again,
