Breaking Local News
Accident leads to fatality in Lincoln County
An accident Monday night left a 40-year-old clinging to life, and he was pronounced dead by the time he arrived at St. Mary's Hospital in Huntington. The single-vehicle crash on Route 3 in Hamlin. State police said Leeroy Allen Halstead was a passenger, and was trapped in his vehicle and had to be cut out before the ambulance could take him to the hospital. The driver of the vehicle was not hurt.
Task Force to address Kanawha County recycling
Kanawha County is diving deeper into an effort to save the recycling program. A new task force will study the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority's finances, and then the goal will be to come up with a plan to keep recycling going. Five months ago the Solid Waste Authority's governing board voted to shut down the Slack Street Recycling Center in Charleston over safety issues. That has since re-opened as a drop off point. Between five and ten members will be chosen for the task force, and they'll aim to come up with a new plan for the county's recycling efforts within 45 days.
Zoning changes could come to the East End
Members of East End Main Street want zoning changes in the Corridor Village District of the East End Community Renewal Plan. The Charleston Renewal Authority will be asked today to modify current zoning rules in the East End plan by pointing out specific types of businesses that would be banned along Washington Street. That includes adult businesses, bail bonds, cash-for-gold, pawn shops, gambling establishments, and storage facilities. If the Renewal Authority approves, the Municipal Planning Commission will consider the issue this afternoon. Ultimately, City Council would need to pass an ordinance to change the East End plan.
Florida woman dies after I-77 accident
A woman involved last week in a head on collision on Interstate 77 has died. 68-year old Diana Douin died over the weekend. State Police say she crossed the median and hit a tractor trailer head on Thursday night near the Sissonville exit.
Woman sentenced on drug charges
A Charleston woman has been sentenced for distributing crack cocaine. 29-year old Cary White previously pleaded guilty, admitting she and another sold crack cocaine to a confidential informant working with the West Virginia State Police. White was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison.
Stretch of Highway Prone to Accidents will be Studied
A highway that has seen several recent accidents will be studied. Kanawha County sheriff's deputies have responded to more than 20 accidents since April on a stretch of I-77 in the Sissonville, and state highway officials want to know why there have been so many. Depending on the results of the study, cable barriers could go up in the median to prevent crossover accidents.
WV Lottery competes with neighboring states
Last year was a good year for the West Virginia Lottery, ending with an $81 million surplus. Lottery officials have said as Ohio adds casinos, ticket sales in West Virginia are impacted. Pennsylvania race tracks and plans for a new large casino in Maryland may also have an impact. The lottery plans to come up with new ways to promote West Virginia's own casinos in the coming years.
Police investigate woman's drowning
Police are still investigating after a weekend drowning in the Kanawha River. 47-year old David Jones of Powellton went missing Saturday evening at the Kanawha Falls in the area of Boonesboro Road, according to the Fayette County sheriff. Jones was reportedly swimming across the river with a friend and didn't make it across. The incident is under investigation by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office and by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
Marcellus Shale continues to gain momentum
New data from energy industry experts and the federal government bodes well for the Marcellus Shale. Four years ago the Marcellus Shale under West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio was just starting to gain attention, and now the new data says it's about to become the most productive natural gas field in the United States. Last month, the combined output from Pennsylvania and West Virginia wells was about 7.4 billion cubic feet per day, according to an analyst at Bentek Energy. That's more than double the numbers from last April and shows no signs of slowing down.
Courthouse Study is Underway
A Charleston firm is going to lead a study of all 55 courthouses in West Virginia in the coming months. Silling Associates of Charleston has been awarded at $600,000 contract by the WV Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority. The study is meant to analyze the condition and needs of each courthouse, and make recommendations for improvements, including cost estimates. Right now, Silling is in the process of asking each courthouse for records, including insurance and fire marshal reports, blueprints, and lists of past projects and thsoe that are in the works.

Self-proclaimed bargainista and sale rack extraordinaire. Runner of everything from 5ks to marathons. I love the freedom of not having a plan, but generally feel lost without one. Losing 70 pounds is my greatest life accomplishment, so far.
malbec, please.
also find Emily here:
Before we get started, let's note that while many of us ladies love lookin' at an attractive group of men -- The Bachelorette: Men Tell All is so much less interesting than The Bachelor: Women Tell All. Period. No contest. Why? Because men just don't naturally sit around in a circle and talk for two hours. So when they do? Epic TV just isn't happening. Awkwardness is happening. At the very least, I was hoping for some 'bows to be thrown and a few tears. Fail, ABC. Fail.
Now -- I'll say this: I don't think that Marquel is the right candidate for the next Bachelor (and he won't be because he's on the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise). But man, we saw tonight that he's one handsome fella with a whole ton of class. How he could feel so much anger but not erupt at Andrew was impressive. Insert: Honorable mention of Marquel's cookie boutonniere.
So, if not Marquel, then the question remains: Who will be the next Bachelor?
Tonight's episode of The Bachelorette was way more tear-jerking than I ever anticipated. As if the hometown dates weren't enough to digest, with Andi finally meeting the families of Nick, Chris, Josh, and Marcus -- Chris Harrison breaking the news to the cast about the untimely death of Eric Hill was an emotional roller coaster.
Months after the fact, it's hard to watch the footage and see Andi deal with the grief that she has over her last head-butting interactions with Hill. And while my heart breaks for his family all over again, I can't even imagine how Andi must've felt after hearing the news, trying to figure out what (well, who) her heart really wants while dealing with that burden of their final words.
Generally speaking, the sidelines of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette aren't exactly an ideal breeding ground for long-lasting friendships. But Andi Dorfman and Nikki Ferrell, well, they broke the mold. Back during Juan Pablo's season when we met the two beauties, Nikki ended up with JP (it's rumored a wedding is on the horizon) and Andi, well, she had a public feud with him that eventually turned out into her being the next bachelorette. Fans watched as Nikki and Andi constantly proclaimed their adoration for each other all over social media, and then suddenly when Andi's season began, there was radio silence. Nothing.
We wondered: What, are they donezo? Do they hate each other because Andi thinks Nikki's man is a skeezeball? Why was it that Nikki wasn't there for that man ogling earlier this season?
Well Andi took to Instagram to set the record straight on their "broken" friendship just the other day, revealing how things are with her and Nikki to this day. Check it out, here:
To the women who think good is great,
Confession time. You've been treated badly by some guy you used to think was an absolute dreamboat, a perfect 10 -- a Gosling, if you will. And you let it happen. Are we right?
And it's because of this jerk that you think just okay relationships are the norm. It's because of inconsiderate guys like him -- who thought it was OK to make you feel like text messaging was the only acceptable form of communication and "forgetting" about the dinner plans you've had for two weeks because he was "stressed" was permissible -- that you feel like you don't deserve the best.
The good news? You're not alone. There are a bazillion single women who wonder about the same thing you wonder about every damn day: "Am I asking for too much?"
Spoiler alert: No. You deserve it, the "too much." The catch? You just need to stop settling for less than what you really want.
Between after-school activities and late nights at work, sitting down for a family dinner is an art form forever being perfected. Enter Laurie David, producer of the film An Inconvenient Truth and the just-released Fed Up who wrote The Family Cooks. She says making family dinners a priority can change everyone's lives for the better.
David, a single mom of two, says a communal dinner is essential if you want to raise healthy eaters.
"Bring them [into the kitchen] and be patient," she suggests, "so that someday you can send them out in the world capable of cooking for themselves and happy to do so."
David, who split from actor Larry David in 2007, says she knew she was doing something right when her girls didn't run away from the table the second they were done eating. She found dinner was the perfect time to catch up. A time for her family, if even just the three of them, to get closer.

For crying out loud, why does everyone assume that means you CAN'T challenge your friends and people directly? They'll be hiding it in randoms, not necessarily against your friends. It is, in fact, a really good idea. The only downside is that you won't be able to MAKE friends that way, but its a heck of a lot better than the people queing specifically to grief those that love it that would come up.

The administration of justice
Money could buy power, but respect could only be won by law enforcement. The problem for Henry VII was not to replace an old system of government with a new one—no Tudor was consciously a revolutionary—but to make the ancient system work tolerably well. He had to tame but not destroy the nobility, develop organs of administration directly under his control, and wipe out provincialism and privilege wherever they appeared. In the task of curbing the old nobility, the king was immeasurably helped by the high aristocratic death rate during the Wars of the Roses; but where war left off, policy took over. Commissions of Array composed of local notables were appointed by the crown for each county in order to make use of the power of the aristocracy in raising troops but to prevent them from maintaining private armies (livery) with which to intimidate justice (maintenance) or threaten the throne.
Previous monarchs had sought to enforce the laws against livery and maintenance, but the first two Tudors, though they never totally abolished such evils, built up a reasonably efficient machine for enforcing the law, based on the historic premise that the king in the midst of his council was the fountain of justice. Traditionally, the royal council had heard all sorts of cases, and its members rapidly began to specialize. The Court of Chancery had for years dealt with civil offenses, and the Court of Star Chamber evolved to handle alleged corruption of justice (intimidation of witnesses and jurors, bribing of judges, etc.), the Court of Requests poor men's suits, and the High Court of Admiralty piracy. The process by which the conciliar courts developed was largely accidental, and the Court of Star Chamber acquired its name from the star-painted ceiling of the room in which the councillors sat, not from the statute of 1487 that recognized its existence. Conciliar justice was popular because the ordinary courts where common law prevailed were slow, cumbersome, and more costly; favoured the rich and mighty; and tended to break down when asked to deal with riot, maintenance, livery, perjury, and fraud. The same search for efficiency applied to matters of finance. The traditional fiscal agency of the crown, the exchequer, was burdened with archaic procedures and restrictions, and Henry VII turned to the more intimate and flexible departments of his personal household—specifically to the treasurer of the chamber, whom he could supervise directly—as the central tax-raising, rent-collecting, and money-disbursing segment of government.
The Tudors sought to enforce law in every corner of their kingdom, and step by step the blurred medieval profile of a realm shattered by semiautonomous franchises, in which local law and custom were obeyed more than the king's law, was transformed into the clear outline of a single state filled with loyal subjects obeying the king's decrees. By 1500 royal government had been extended into the northern counties and Wales by the creation of the Council of the North and the Council for the Welsh Marches. The Welsh principalities had always been difficult to control, and it was not until 1536 that Henry VIII brought royal law directly into Wales and incorporated the 136 self-governing lordships into a greater England with five new shires.
If the term new monarchy was inappropriate in 1485, the same cannot be said for the year of Henry VII's death, for when he died in 1509, after 24 years of reign, he bequeathed to his son something quite new in English history: a safe throne, a solvent government, a prosperous land, and a reasonably united kingdom. Only one vital aspect of the past remained untouched, the semi-independent Roman Catholic Church, and it was left to the second Tudor to challenge its authority and plunder its wealth.
Henry VIII (1509–47)
Cardinal Wolsey
An 18-year-old prince inherited his father's throne, but the son of an Ipswich butcher carried on the first Tudor's administrative policies. While the young sovereign enjoyed his inheritance, Thomas Wolsey collected titles—archbishop of York in 1514, lord chancellor and cardinal legate in 1515, and papal legate for life in 1524. He exercised a degree of power never before wielded by king or minister, for, as lord chancellor and cardinal legate, he united in his portly person the authority of church and state. He sought to tame both the lords temporal and the lords spiritual—administering to the nobility the "new law of the Star Chamber," protecting the rights of the underprivileged in the poor men's Court of Requests, and teaching the abbots and bishops that they were subjects as well as ecclesiastical princes. Long before Henry assumed full power over his subjects' souls as well as their bodies, his servant had marked the way. The cardinal's administration, however, was stronger on promise than on performance, and, for all his fine qualities and many talents, he exposed himself to the accusation that he prostituted policy for pecuniary gain and personal pride.
Together, the king and cardinal plunged the kingdom into international politics and war and helped to make England one of the centres of Renaissance learning and brilliance. But the sovereign and his chief servant overestimated England's international position in the Continental struggle between Francis I of France and the Holy Roman emperor Charles V. Militarily, the kingdom was of the same magnitude as the papacy—the English king had about the same revenues and could field an army about the same size—and, as one contemporary noted, England, with its back door constantly exposed to Scotland and its economy dependent upon the Flanders wool trade, was a mere "morsel among those choppers" of Europe. Nevertheless, Wolsey's diplomacy was based on the expectation that England could swing the balance of power either to France or to the empire and, by holding that position, could maintain the peace of Europe. The hollowness of the cardinal's policy was revealed in 1525 when Charles disastrously defeated and captured Francis at the Battle of Pavia. Italy was overrun with the emperor's troops, the pope became an imperial chaplain, all of Europe bowed before the conqueror, and England sank from being the fulcrum of Continental diplomacy to the level of a second-rate power just at the moment when Henry had decided to rid himself of his wife, the 42-year-old Catherine of Aragon.

Letters to the Editor
Date: September 26, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ A great learning experience
Dear Editor:
I wanted to share with readers the amazing opportunity I was given during the 2011-2012 school year. I was a part of a select few high school students who got to intern at Mote Marine. The application process was long and hard, but the experience was well worth it.
The internship was broken down in two parts — one part educational and the other part volunteer. During the educational part, all 15 interns met at the Mote Education Research Center (MERC) every other Wednesday for meetings. During these meetings we would discuss upcoming project ideas and learn about the work it takes to be a marine biologist.
One of the big projects we did during the internship was take care of and raise a saltwater tank. We split into three groups with different habitats: mangrove, benthic (sea floor) and sea grass. We went in the water across from Mote and caught our own animals. After catching them, we let them explore their temporary homes and discussed more tank guidelines, such as testing for appropriate temperature and pH levels.
In the short two months our five-person group had to take care of our tank, we were worn out. We couldn't imagine taking care of one as large as the shark tank! This really opened our eyes to the amount of work aquarists do and allowed for a new appreciation of them.
During the volunteer part of the internship, we were required to work a number of shifts, as well as overnights consisting of anything from labeling gear to guiding kayak trips. An overnight is when a group of children — usually Girl/Boy Scouts or a school class — get to spend the night in the aquarium. The kids showed such excitement and interest while learning all about the sea animals. They asked terrific questions and looked up to the interns. It was great because at night the animals don't have the same behaviors, which made it a whole new experience.
Overall the internship taught me that hard work and dedication can take you far. Mote has given me so much, both learning-wise and personally. I am now pursuing my passion for sharks by studying research on them. Thank you, Mote.

Now that consumer credit has been exhausted, that's just where this country is going, "Cash for Everything."
You know, it's only a matter of time before we start bulldozing the MacMansions for new, politically correct cottages. Mark my words.
BTW, I really need a new computer. How 'bout a cash for laptops thing?
Looks like a case could be made that Cash for clunkers distorted the market and hurt retail outside of autos.
Isn't that what TARP was?
It rescued banks from toxic mortgage assets that were primarily used to prop up artificial housing prices as well as unsustainable levels of consumer spending and consumer debt.
Your Undertaker is offering you a cash for coffins government/business fascist deal. You put your money in the coffin and it disappears just like what you do with government coffers but I steal it back just like the government and the banks always do but then I put it in your name in an "Icelandic Cod" account to be frozen away from the prying eyes of the new Odessa for ever. Later when it grows as fast as a Goldman Sachs corruption cycle you can withdraw it in Liechtenstein and go to dinner in Geneva and give the NWO globlaists sipping champagne at a high brow eatery the finger courtesy of my Luciferian contacts. It's all good! Ask for the special black gothic PIMPCO special. This also includes a Bill GrosstToupee and a trough feeding facelift at his expense., and now back to the trenchers. there's blood in the air.
WARREN BUFFET also plays DERIVATIVES
Mr Buffet said once that DERIVATIVES were massive destruction weapons.
He appointed again, that DERIVATIVES were the main cause of current financial collapse.
Mr Buffet said once he believed in the LONG TERM investments, in the Fair value of the assets, in the intrinsic business management…
Mr Buffet is said to have been investing heavily in DERIVATIVES, selling them in the short term, and without considering whether he invested in APPLES or in PEARS…
So, Mr BUFFET …. Welcome to the club !!!
Bye, bye to your credibility… to your independence… to your fundamentals…
Maybe it is caused by the age. Once you get elder, you have less time to win, and if you are losing considerably, the best and fastest way to recover is the same you criticised many times.
Bye, bye, … Mr Buffet….
Now, I feel bad … not because of you, but because of the money I spent buying your books, and the time spent reading them…
I will buy now the BERNARD MADOFF´s new one, relating his memories. At least, this will not be full with more lies or dressed truths…
In some cases, TRUTH stays where the LIES are known.
Mr BUFFET, this is not a good ending session for your incredible investments record. But, people do not know that your father was politician, that he was already a trader… and at that time, with a father politician and trader,… everything is easier….
I prefer Mr Soros history, or even Bernard Madoff´s one… where reality is more visible.
BM is a villain of Wall Street because of a question of timing… because he was a hero for many years, and nobody noticed… better said, nobody asked…

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/28/2014 -- With a wide range of application in different industries like auto, construction and medical treatment, etc., specialty elastomer has drawn more and more attention from global manufacturers in recent years. As a kind of synthetic rubber, specialty elastomer can be adopted to face harsh conditions thanks to its special properties and flexible applications.
Among the application industries, auto industry is the main downstream industry of specialty elastomer. In recent years, the consumption of specialty elastomer in the world has seen an uptrend. The global consumption volume of specialty elastomer nearly reached 3.8 million tonnes in 2012. Since 2009, China has become the biggest automobile manufacturer in the world. Along with the booming development of the world's auto industry, the consumption growth rate of China's specialty elastomergreatly increased. Currently, the consumption volume of China's specialty elastomer accounts for about 10% of the global consumption volume.
Complete report available @ http://www.marketreportschina.com/application-of-specialty-elastomers-in-automotive-industry-in-china-edition-1.
The report mainly covers the following aspects:
Overview of global consumption and China's consumption situation of specialty elastomer in 2012;

China's specialty elastomers mainly include fluoroelastomer (FKM), silicone elastomer (VMQ), Hydrogenate nitrile rubber(HNBR), Nd-based Butadiene rubber (NdBR), Acrylate rubber (ACM) and Epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO), etc. Among these kinds of specialty elastomers, VMQ, NdBR and FKM are the three most consumed specialty elastomers, and are used in various industries across China. In recent years, the development of silicone elastomers have maintained a stable upward trend. Fluoroelastomer has also shown great potential as it has the achieved the fasted level of growth in consumption. At present, because of China's production technology the domestic specialty elastomer products is unable to meet the demand of the domestic market due to the immaturity of production technology. Specialty elastomers still highly rely on imports from foreign countries.

2012 Eyrie Vineyards "Estate Grown" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 8-26-2014
There is nothing better than tasting a great wine amongst the vines whose fruit produces that same wine. Several of us were fortunate enough to have this experience with the 2012 Eyrie Estate Grown Pinot Noir. But does the wine taste as memorably delicious within the confines of our roomy, comfortable, yet admittedly less romantic tasting bar in Redwood City? On Tuesday July 29th, during a staff tasting billed as a "Dog Day Afternoon," we confirmed that this wine is, not surprisingly, the real deal. This is supple and juicy Pinot Noir, with aromas of cherries, pretty florals and subtle savory tones. On the palate, more cherries, featuring a deeper pitch than the norm at Eyrie (particularly when compared to the light as a feather, red fruited, elegant beyond belief 2011 vintage.) That said, I do love the 2012 vintage of this wine as well. Wonderfully pure fruit, loads of drinkability, and beautiful texture - that illusive quality which certain wineries just tend to nail vintage after vintage. In case you could not tell, we all are big fans of Eyrie here and cannot recommend their wines highly enough!
Price: $32.99
2012 Pisa Range Estate "Black Poplar Block" Pinot Noir Central Otago
Review Date: 8-23-2014
This is a big, darker fruited, structured Pinot Noir. While it's certainly densely structured, there are also pretty floral notes, real fruit purity and an expression of place that even in an area as well regarded for PN as Central Otago, is not necessarily a given. Great Pinot Noir for a special occasion or for your cellar!
Price: $39.99
2013 Zudugarai "Amats" Getariako Txakolina
Review Date: 8-13-2014
Serious props are in order to Mikel and his crew at Zudugarai, for organically producing a delicious, thirst quenching, picture perfect Txakoli in a very challenging 2013 vintage. With production down significantly, and demand every bit as strong locally, Zudugarai still maintained their pricing, which means that we can do the same and once again offer to you one of the tastiest, most gulpable dry whites around for a price that is much lower than most other Txakoli. Buy it by the case, which now that I think of it is only 6 bottles so better make it two!
Price: $12.99
Bruno Michel "Les Roses" Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 8-6-2014
This is not a casual sipping rosé! On various occasions, I have enjoyed this and have it come across as rich and satisfying, or brooding and spicy, on one occasion I think I recall my tasting notes saying "good 1er cru Nuit-St-Georges with bubbles." However you describe it, you cannot argue against this being an intensely flavored, highly original Champagne with real personality.
Price: $49.99
2006 Miguel Merino "Vitola" Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 8-6-2014
Though he is no pilot, I often hear our friend, gifted winery director and noted Rioja Raconteur, Miguel Merino speak of "cruise altitude" in his Riojas. What Miguel means is the moment at which point a wine starts developing real interest and a keen sense of balance between fruit, tannins and complex flavor development. This 2006 Vitola, to throw some Spanglish your way, está en plena "cruise altitude!" Awesome wine; I suggest you try some.
Price: $19.99
2011 Churchill's "Estates" Douro
Review Date: 8-6-2014
While many of the top, legendary 2011 vintage ports are beginning to disappear, we are continuing to see a deluge of excellent, top quality dry Douro reds. Given the terrific quality of the 2011 Port vintage (literally a once in a generation type of vintage) in this region, there is no reason not to dip your toes into the dry red wines from the same year; you will not be disappointed. Tasting this wine next to the 2010 vintage was very instructive: while the 2010 is a solid wine, 2011 has so much more intensity, volume, and length. It's a textbook Douro red from a great vintage, a wine that is impressive now and should cellar well in the mid term as well. There is no better vintage than 2011 to check out the unique dry red wines from the Douro.
Price: $17.99
2012 Tikal "Jubilo" Mendoza
Review Date: 8-6-2014
As with all things chez Tikal, this is a bigger, powerful wine. Smoky/savory oak aromas show mocha and some dark caramel, with the fruit lying in the background, but on the palate...different story. Chunky red and dark plum fruits show drier than what the nose suggests. Clearly there is good quality fruit used here, no surprise given that a Catena (Ernesto) is involved! Definitely a solid fuller bodied wine for your next cookout or grilled steak.
Price: $29.99
Bruno Michel Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 8-6-2014
This Champagne is from a site that is so cold, it typically has searingly high acidity (always in balance with the fruit in my opinion) which makes it one I love but that I recommend judiciously, only to those who love acidity as much as I do. I say "typically," though, because our most recent bottling is based on a warmer vintage, and combined with the colder vineyard site, this becomes a richer, yet still bright and vibrant Blanc de Blancs to recommend to many more people. This is always one of my favorite expressions of Chardonnay on our shelves.
Price: $44.99
Bruno Michel "Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 8-6-2014
UPDATE... This recent batch, based on the 2006 vintage, with an incredible 6 years of time on the lees (good luck finding another Champagne for this price with as much lees ageing and overall balance), is damn good. As always the nose is bright, pure and friendly, inviting. On the palate there fruit is bigger and spicier than I recall, but still balanced by fresh acidity due to Bruno Michel's cooler vineyard sites. I have a review from a previous disgorgement below for some context: This is arguably, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the most versatile and satisfying Champagne in the store. So bright tasting, with good minerality and delicious, juicy fruit. A colleague put it well when she called this champagne "friendly." I completely agree. It is indeed friendly, without sacrificing originality or wine geek appeal. One to always have on hand around the house (especially if you're inviting me over!)
Price: $34.99
Can Mayol Loxarel "999" Cava Brut Rosé Penedes
Review Date: 7-16-2014
This is our go to household pink bubbly. It is unapologetically dry, yet so flavorful, explosive and authoritative on the palate, that it is hard to believe we are dealing with under $15 bubbles here. Tangy red fruits, perhaps a suggestion of hibiscus, combine with a nice bead and pleasing texture to make this such a great sparkling wine for the money. As this is a DI, I have been to the property, seen the care with which these vines are grown and the wine is made, and can only say that all of the Loxarel wines, including this one, have my highest recommendation.
Price: $12.99
2011 Fillaboa "Finca Monte Alto" Albariño Rias Baixas

Albariño has transformed itself into Spain's most popular, serious white wine export because of wines like this. This single vineyard bottling from Fillaboa has delicious fruit, marked minerality, and more than a nod to the saltwater inlets (or "Rias") that shape coastal Galicia. Drink this wine with clams steamed in wine and garlic, whole grilled fish, or any fresh seafood you can get your hands on. I can assure you that it will be a food and wine pairing you'll come back to time and time again.

2009 La Fortuna Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 7-15-2014
La Fortuna is a rock solid, consistent producer of Brunello. If you've liked their stuff in the past, there is no reason not to continue to enjoy their output. Their 09 Brunello is still primarily red fruited, high toned, fresh, persistent yet relatively light on its feet for the region, and as always highlighted by an appealing minerality. For anyone looking to drink their Brunello on the younger side, this is definitely one of the ones I would steer you towards. That said...do not be afraid to lay off this wine for a little while; it will definitely improve!

2008 Poggiarellino Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 7-15-2014
For me, the wine of the tasting in our recent Italian line-up. Very nicely perfumed, with macerated dark cherries dominating and multiple layers of fragrance and balanced flavors on the palate. As 2008 is not a press love fest of a vintage, nor is Baricci a household name for Brunello, this beauty can be had for under $30, which undoubtedly makes it one of the best red wine deals in the store right now.

2013 Corte Gardoni Bardolino Chiaretto Rosato
Review Date: 7-15-2014
Light, juicy, playful rosato, this is definitely one to gulp down this summer while working the grill, snacking on cheese, pruning your tomatoes, etc. A thirst quenching rosé that is priced for regular enjoyment.
Price: $11.99
Tintero "Grangia" Bianco
Review Date: 7-15-2014
Sort of a Vinho Verde by way of Italia, this is delicious, dry, citric, lightly fizzy white. Fresh and party ready....
Price: $8.99

Hip-hop artist Twista will be at Spin Friday. He once held the Guiness World Record for fastest rapper.
Let the March madness begin -- and I'm not talking about sports. There are so many incredible shows this month, as it seems every band on the planet is beginning its gradual migration to Austin for the annual South By Southwest conference. This bodes well for our city, since many California and Pacific Northwest musicians will be swooping through on their way to or from Texas. Friday's many options range from the pretty indie of Jenny Owen Youngs at the Loft to Chicago hip-hop artist Twista at Spin, who once held the Guiness World Record for fastest rapper. Roddy Radiation of the Specials makes an appearance at the Casbah, while the blog-beloved Girls perform an all-ages show at Birch North Park Theatre. Madness, indeed.

"The x's ride of doom" based on the Nick tv show.
now that would be funny
I am a local with passes and have seen Disney add attraction after attraction the past few years to keep fresh and offer a bigger bang for the buck. USF is basically the same park it was 5 years ago with the exception of Mummy's Revenge (a great addition) and Fear Factor (meh). I bought Premier Passes for the second year in a row only because they dropped the price for renewals to $200 and with a free HHN ticket and valet parking as perks I thought we would go ahead mostly out of the "we've always had them" attitude and not value. We will see what happens when "Potterland" opens. That will be the real turning point.
We need some fresh REALLY NEW attractions to both USF and IOA! When was the last time IOA added anything of value? It is getting to be a bore! I hope I don't sound like a spoiled local! Vacationers for the first time will find the parks are a LOT of fun! I wish I could get that feeling back for USF!
Merry Christmas y'all.
As it is a big theatre they can easily put another show in, like maybe a Deal or No Deal Interactive Game show, similar to Millionaire at Disney. That would be pretty good and definately something I'd go to!!
Hmm, what do you think about that?
I can't wait to check it out!
Nice work Gareth.
Can't wait to see Ahhhnooollddd go! Buh bye Guvna' !!!
BTW, I have a fever and the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL!!!
Please say yes. I'm so done with Terminator...
Oh crap, but a TV series of it just came out. Does that mean it will be updated?
With the filming coming up with Chistian Bale playing John Connor there is no reason to close down the best 3 d movie ever made. Add some scene's/rearrange something but no reason at all to close a true classic attraction!!
