Baroness Seear: Perhaps I may briefly underline and develop the point that was made by my noble friend Lady Thomas as regards special needs. We always talk about them as though they were always for people with learning difficulties. But there are special needs among the gifted. If they are neglected in their early years they can often turn into very difficult people. Identifying the gifted and giving them the right opportunities early on can be just as important as dealing with people with learning difficulties. Gifted people can be extremely troublesome and develop very badly if they are not allowed to develop the gifts with which they are born.
Lord Henley: I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Morris, for his dissertation on the corruption of the English language in his brief intervention, but I wonder whether it was quite relevant, particularly in view of the time that this debate is taking. Perhaps I may also say that I am grateful for the news of his conversion on the road to Damascus over the Teacher Training Agency. I look forward to witnessing many more such conversions.
The noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, was worried that an amendment of this sort could squeeze out parents. Others have expressed the view that it could certainly squeeze out playgroups. I shall resist amendments of this sort very strongly, partly for the reasons given by my noble friend Lord Skidelsky.
I can see what the noble Baroness is aiming for in her amendments. I shall speak first to the qualification side and later to the training side. I cannot see why we should have only qualified teachers providing education for voucher-bearing children. It is important to recognise that many four year-olds are already in settings in the private and voluntary sectors where there is no qualified teacher. Excluding such settings from the voucher scheme would do nothing for the quality of educational experience for these children, but by allowing such settings to take part in the voucher scheme, new money is injected, educational inspections begin, and, over time, quality is improved. It is vital to acknowledge that that is where we start from in the field.
I say to the noble Lord, Lord Morris, that if an inspector revealed a totally unsatisfactory level of education provision--no doubt we shall come back to this later--the provider could be struck off immediately. There are no "ifs" or "buts" about that. But the situation is often not quite as black and white as it might appear. Our proposals allow for continuing development of the provider's ability to provide good quality nursery education. But there is no reason why, under the conditions of grant and that kind of provision, we could not strike that provider off immediately. I make that absolutely clear.
Lord Morris of Castle Morris: I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. I am delighted at what I believe I have just heard and so much so that I would like to hear it again. As I understand it, a provider may set up on a self-assessment scheme and be in operation
Lord Henley: I prefer to write to the noble Lord in greater detail on those points unless we come to them later. I am not going to waste the time of the Committee by repeating my precise words. I was trying to make it clear to the noble Lord that if the provider is providing something which is totally unsatisfactory, there would be provision to strike the provider off.
I said that it is vital to acknowledge where we start from in the field. That is why I was trying to stress that there are already many four year-olds who are in settings where there are not qualified teachers. Neither do I see why the Secretary of State should be required to prescribe annually the qualifications required of staff. The Bill already gives her the power to set requirements of grant as she sees fit. Our Next Steps document published in January, sets out the staff qualifications that we will expect from voucher-redeeming institutions. We will keep that situation under review.
Amendment No. 34 seeks to provide that requirements of grant should be set out in regulations. The new powers enable the Secretary of State to impose any requirements that she feels necessary, including a requirement to repay grant in specified circumstances. Providers will have to comply with whatever requirements we put in place. If they breach any, they will stop receiving additional grant, may be liable to repay any grant they have already received and may be removed from participating in the scheme.
In fact, the flexibility of setting requirements through grant arrangements rather than in regulations provides greater control over the use of grant because it ensures that the requirements in place can always be appropriate to the circumstances at the time.
Turning to the training aspects of this group of amendments, I do not believe we need a specific power to enable the Secretary of State to make grants to nursery providers specifically for the training of teaching and non-teaching staff. The value of the voucher assumes an element for training and staff development. It will be for individual institutions to use the resources to meet their specific training needs.
In the current financial year (1996-97), grants will also be available through the school effectiveness grant for the first time to support in-service training for early years teachers. Our support for the PLA's extensive training infrastructure will continue.
The amendment suggests that all non-maintained providers should have to seek advice on training and qualifications from the TTA before they can redeem their vouchers. I see no need to write into statute any rules about how and from whom providers of nursery education should seek advice on their staffing. We shall be imposing and inspecting requirements about outcomes. The staffing necessary to achieve those outcomes is quite properly for the judgment of
Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton: It is sometimes very difficult to follow the detail of the Minister's replies. I shall certainly read Hansard with great interest to see the exact words that he chose not to repeat--because of time, he said--regarding the training element of the voucher. I shall also need to read one or two other aspects of his reply. Are the very same Government, at education and training meetings across Europe, supporting the European Union in the International Year of Life-Long Learning and encouraging people to go into training for life? How can the Government say that they support the principle of life-long learning and claim that they recognise the importance of young people gaining qualifications and then suggest to young people leaving school that were they to take up a nursery nurse qualification it would be of little value and the Government are not even prepared to be involved in assessing the institutions that will provide that qualification?
It is important to understand that nothing said from these Benches undermines the role of parents. Far from it. Good nursery education training now concentrates heavily on the importance of working with parents. The hospital service works with parents, recognising that a young child in hospital will recover most effectively if the parent can stay with him or her. But it does not ask the parent to remove the tonsils. Under the guise of supporting parents, the Minister is now behaving as though the only added value is the involvement of parents, the added value of qualifications and training by teachers and non-teaching staff being somehow an irrelevance.
The Minister could have said, "Yes, we are prepared to consider this, but we would like to see it phased in". He could have said, "Yes, the Government can see merit in this, but would like to move towards it over a two to three-year period". The Government could have asked, "What about accreditation for prior experience and the consideration of new modes of qualification?" However, the Government have behaved as though the whole field of education has ceased to be a profession and become an occupation. This Government encourage young people who may work in Sainsbury or other shops, or as hairdresser trainees, or in any field--I wholeheartedly approve of this--to gain qualifications and undergo training. Yet, when dealing with the care of all children, for some of whom parents may have no choice, the Government say that they are not prepared to look at the issue of qualifications.
The Government fail to understand the logic of the position they adopt on one subject and the position they adopt on another. It is ridiculous. The Government find themselves in an unacceptable position. I have no intention of dividing the House at this time, but I am sure that these matters will be returned to at a later stage. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Lord Henley moved Amendment No. 11:
The noble Lord said: Amendment No. 11 is a purely technical amendment which seeks to ensure that the definition of nursery education with regard to the upper limit of children who may be covered is consistent with the commencement of compulsory schooling. I beg to move.
Page 1, line 10, leave out ("their fifth birthday") and insert ("they have attained the age of five years").

How to CookRadish
Daikon and 11 Ways Use It
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.
Today: A large root (which also happens to be the literal translation of its name) to use in more ways than you thought possible.
Daikon is a radish, so it's a member of the brassica family along with familiar cool-weather favorites like cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and turnips, and funkier family members like broccoli rabe, tatsoi, and mizuna.
To pick up a daikon at your farmers market or an Asian market (where you should be able to find it year-round), you have to either already be familiar with its extreme versatility or have a serious sense of adventure. It takes gumption to blindly head home with a vegetable as long as your arm.
If your daikon comes with the leaves still attached, cut them off and store both pieces separately in the refrigerator. The leaves are edible, but can be pretty potent; add them to a soup, or mix them in with other greens to mitigate their spicy bite. Daikon will last a long time in your refrigerator, even once cut (just wrap the remainder in plastic wrap or put it in a plastic bag) -- but be forewarned: Once it's cut, your fridge is not going to smell good. At all.
When I was living in Japan, I was a member of a CSA and frequently received daikon large enough to cradle in my arms like a baby. Even though I've eaten more than my fair share of it, I still can't be considered a daikon connoisseur because I don't use the parts of the root differently based on their variation in flavor. Real daikon mastery requires cooking based on the knowledge that the part closest to the leaves (3) is said to be the sweetest, while the end of the root (1) has the most bite to it and the middle (2) is somewhere in between.
More: Horseradish is another tasty root that bites backs.
Like carrots, daikon just needs a good scrub; it doesn't have to be peeled (5), but I tend to -- unless I'm grating it.
Radishes might not seem particularly versatile, but daikon radishes can actually be used in a variety of ways (including as props for dancing). And that's a good thing because it can take you a while to work your way through a multi-pound radish. Here are 11 ideas for using your giant daikon that are so good you'll want to run out for another one:
- Radishes are delicious roasted, and daikon's no exception.
- Cut daikon into thick disks (4) and braise them in dashi -- bevel the top and bottom edges to help the disks to keep their shape (otherwise they may splinter at the edges)
- Add it to sandwiches (like a bành mí) or tacos.
- Try daikon in beef dishes like slow-braised short ribs.
- Yes, you can pickle it.
- Use daikon in dressings and sauces.
- Dice (6) or julienne (7) daikon to use raw in salads, slaws, and noodle dishes.
- Tuck strips of daikon into sushi or fresh spring rolls.
- Add larger chunks (8) of daikon to soups and stews. (If you're working your way through a giant daikon, this is where you'll want to use the mid-section (2, above) -- it's the part of the daikon often used for oden, a dish with stewed vegetables, eggs, and other items.)
- Grate your daikon and make radish dumplings.
- Really finely grated daikon (this known as daikon oroshi) can be served alongside fish or tofu as a condiment, or added to dipping sauces for tempura or noodles. If you're aiming for daikon expert status, use the spicy tip (1, above) for this.
And an added bonus: They might also be able to help the environment. What's not to love?
We can't wait to hear how you like to use daikon -- tell us in the comments.

In Justice Today: Anti-Online Trafficking Bills Advance in Congress, Despite Opposition from Survivors Themselves
Wednesday, March 14, 2018
SESTA, the Senate bill, is currently supported by a seemingly disparate coalition: anti-sex work groups, some anti-trafficking services, religious right groups, and some women's rights groups. Though they originally opposed it on the grounds that it would compromise free speech online, most major tech companies now back SESTA. The bill has also won a personal endorsement from Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
In Justice Today: Proposed Federal Trafficking Legislation Has Surprising Opponents: Advocates Who Work With Trafficking Victims
Friday, January 26, 2018
The legislation is meant to protect victims of sex trafficking, but many advocates who work directly with people who have been trafficked oppose both bills. "They think that shutting down any online platform is going to miraculously end human trafficking," Jessica Peñaranda, director of strategic initiatives at the Sex Workers' Project, told In Justice Today. "They think it's an easy way to do this." But real solutions aren't so easy, she says.

Do you want to start making more money in your business?
Do you know that you should be using social media better but you're just not sure where to start?
I get it. There are so many tools (email, social media, Ravelry, etc) out there, it can be overwhelming. You aren't sure which one to is going to work best for your particular business. Maybe you don't really understand what kind of newsletter a knitting designer should have, or what a yarn dyer is supposed to post on Instagram besides pictures of their yarn and won't that seem too salesy after a while?
Imagine a world where you open your inbox every morning and see new sales.
Imagine no longer feeling stressed about what you should be posting and where and when.
It is possible to have fun engaging with your customers and potential customers on social media. You can get to the point where you feel really comfortable with your marketing and it's no longer scary. It is possible to have a thriving business in the yarn and fibre industry. But you have to understand that it's not enough to just list your pattern on Ravelry, or put up some new yarn in your shop and wait for people to find it and hopefully buy it.
The truth is, you need to talk MORE about your work. You need to share it more if you want your business to grow.
And it doesn't have to be hard or feel sleezy.
All marketing boils down to is talking to your audience consistently in a way that is meaningful to them. You just need to get clear on who exactly your audience is, where you can find them (and how to help them find you), and what you should be saying to them. Three things. That's it.
So is this the year you're going to take your business to the next level?
Is it time to stop waiting for customers to come to you and learn how to go out and find them yourself?
Tara Swiger and I have taken our Elevate Your Business workshop that we did together in Manchester and turned it into an online course. We've already seen some amazing growth from the businesses that came in November, and now we want to help you see the same results.
- Find your right people: You have to know who you are talking to and I'll give you a hint it's not "knitters and crocheters".
- Create your marketing message: You also have to know what makes you special, what makes you stand out, and we'll help you discover this.
- Create content that connects: Now you know who you are talking to and why they would want to buy from you, it's time to create your content!
- How to choose a website provider: We'll talk about the differences between Wordpress and Squarespace and which one is best for you.
- Making your site optimised for search: This sounds scary but really it's about simple things you can do to make sure if people search for you that they are going to find you.
- Making it sharable (online and off): When people find you, it's important to make sure that they can easily share your stuff!
- Discover your customer path: How does someone go from not knowing who you are to purchasing your product? You have to get clear on this.
- Priorities for coming closer: Let's move that customer down your path and closer to buying.
- Making an offer: One of the key components of marketing is asking for the sale and we'll teach you how to do (in a way that feels good to you.)
- The importance of an email list: Learn why not having an email list is the single biggest mistake you could make.
- Picking a newsletter provider: We'll talk about the differences between Mailchimp and ConvertKit and which one is best for you.
- Brainstorming opt-ins: The best way to get people to sign up for your email list is by offering them an opt-in, but coming up with one can be tricky. Not after this lesson.
- Your newsletter content plan: Okay so we've convinced you that you need a list, but what the heck do you send them? Don't worry, we've got a lot of ideas for you so this will be a piece of cake.
- What you need to know before you start: You can't just jump in and hope to succeed, there are some specific things you need to figure out before you start using social media to grow your business.
- Pick your platform: We'll help you pick out the one or two platforms that will work the best for you.
- Getting the most out of each platform: We've got specific strategies for each platform that take 5-10 minutes a day to implement.
- You've sat through 5 weeks of information and that's great. But it's no use if you don't start taking action. We are going to make sure that you leave with an action plan so you know exactly what to do next.
What past students have to say...
"I've been running my business susccessully online for a couple of years, but I still came away from Elevate Your Business with multiple pages of notes, ideas, inspirations and to dos. Tara and Joeli combine their years of experience with a heartfelt and soulful approach that makes this an incredibly useful course both for total beginners and anyone looking to fill in the blanks. In a world where we're always being told to do more, and catch up, it's a delight to find a coaching resource that encourages you to make the choices that really work for you." Sara Tasker, Me and Orla
"Elevate Your Business teaches you how not to do it all. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed as a small business owner with all the social media options and just as easy to get lost in the day to day tasks of your business and not see the bigger, long term goals. Tara and Joeli teach you how refocus your efforts, concentrate on the aspects that work, ditch those that don't, so that you can reach your long term goals. Elevate Your Business is an excellent course that I can't recommend highly enough." Tash Burrett, Quirky Hand Knits
What's included?
- 6 modules broken down into 16 bite-size video lessons so you don't get overwhelmed with a bunch of material all at once!
- 13 worksheets to make sure that you take action on each lesson.
- Bonus videos covering setting up Mailchimp and ConvertKit so there's no confusion about how you're going to deliver that awesome opt-in we help you create.
- Access to a private FB group so you connect with other students and get their feedback and help as you work through the material. (Tara and Joeli hang out there too and answer questions, but trust me that a hive mind is way better than the opinion of just one or two people, no matter how awesome those two people are!)
- Lifetime access to everything, so you can go through the material again whenever you need a refresher.
price: $497
We can't promise that you'll start getting more sales in 30 days, but I do know that what we teach you is going to make a big difference if you actually implement it. So if after 30 days you're not convinced that we've helped you, just show us that you've done the work and we'll gladly refund you.

This book offers new strategies and scripts for hypnotherapists, sports counsellors and sports psychologists working with athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. A major focus of the book is that the therapist does not necessarily need to be familiar with the sport or activity to serve as a amental coacha to the athlete. The athlete is instructed that the goal is not to improve the mechanics of their performance (that is left up to their coaches) but, rather, to help them to relax, concentrate and focus so that they fulfill their maximum potential. They learn not to let the mental side of their game trip up the physical side, but rather to enhance it.Judith E.

Running a laboratory requires the use of skills which are not often emphasized in graduate or postdoctoral training. Time management, hiring and retaining lab personnel, development of lab policies, communication, and group dynamics are among the issues confronting new principal investigators. Although "perfect" solutions to these issues are not identified, the approaches used in a variety of laboratories are described.

Chicago Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd) says he thinks he has solved the city's budget for next year.
"We'll just add an additional tax on every item that the Cubs sell this season," Waguespack joked Thursday during a City Club of Chicago panel discussion on the city's 2017 budget.
"I've never seen so many people wearing Cubs gear, not only in Chicago but just nationwide," the alderman said. "It's a good thing to see a team doing so well, because it does add to the bottom line. It adds to Chicago's stature at a time when things are pretty difficult, when we see so much increase in crime and violence throughout our city, that we can have one thing to look at and say this is a good thing."
A new citywide Chicago ordinance cracking down on plastic bags takes effect Saturday.
The Chicago City Council voted Wednesday to partially ban plastic shopping bags and put in place tougher regulations for petcoke facilities. Progress Illinois takes a look at the two issues as well as other highlights from the council meeting.
A long-stalled proposal to crackdown on plastic carryout bags in Chicago unanimously passed out of the city council's environmental committee Thursday despite objections from industry groups that say the move will hurt businesses.
Approval of the Ban-The-Bag measure, spearheaded by Ald. Joe Moreno (1st), followed a comprise at City Hall this week to revise the ordinance so that restaurants and mom-and-pop stores can continue using plastic bags at the point of sale. Previously, the ordinance would have applied to retailers of all sizes.
Under the measure, Chicago restaurants and small, independent stores less than 10,000 square feet in size would be exempt. Small retailers, however, would have to comply with the plastic bag ban if they are part of a chain with at least three stores.
"I'm very open to re-looking at this and adding even more players into it, but this is a huge step today for the city of Chicago," Moreno told reporters after the vote.
An extremely small plastic pollutant poses a big threat to the health of the Great Lakes and the state's environment. And some Illinois lawmakers are looking to take action against the problem.
At issue are the super-tiny plastic beads used in hundreds of personal cosmetic products like facial wash, body scrubs and even toothpaste. According to scientists, tens of millions of these little plastic particles have made their way into the Great Lakes.
The cosmetic microbeads, which are less than 5 millimeters in size and commonly used to help with exfoliation, often get washed down household drains. Because the plastic beads are so small, they are not captured during the water treatment process, allowing them to get into waterways.
"There's no way to recover those materials once they're out in open waters," said Olga Lyandres, research manager at the Alliance for the Great Lakes. "Once they enter the environment, they stay there."
Chicagoans are up in arms over a proposal to crackdown on plastic carryout bags in the city.
The Chicago City Council's Committee on Health and Environmental Protection held a two-hour subject matter hearing on Ald. Joe Moreno's (1st) long-stalled plastic bag reduction ordinance Tuesday and debate over the proposal was fierce.
Moreno's ban-the-bag measure, which failed to move forward last year, originally looked to outlaw plastic bags in stores with more than 5,000 square-feet of retail space. But the new ordinance, introduced in the city council earlier this month, would apply to retailers of all sizes. Adding small stores to the mix was seen as a way to garner more support for the measure.
Ald. George Cardenas (12th), who co-sponsored the new ordinance and chairs the environmental committee, said the proposal, which will likely see some additional tweaks, is slated for a committee vote on April 15.
"I think we're on the right side of being pro-environment," Cardenas told reporters. "I think we have to be on the right side of pro-business, and that's a balancing act."
Chicago Alds. George Cardenas (12th) and Ed Burke (14th) want to ban the use of Styrofoam and other polystyrene food service products in the city.
Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) and a handful of other aldermen want plastic carryout bags banned in Chicago.
Tuesday, members of the city council's Committee on Health and
Environmental Protection heard more than two hours of testimony on a plastic bag reduction ordinance, which Moreno first introduced in November 2011.
"Plastic bags of today are the Styrofoam containers of yesterday, and we moved past that," Moreno said at the hearing.
Consumers in five Chicago Wards will be seeing new bags to carry their purchases, though they may not notice the difference unless it's pointed out to them.
It's all part of a larger effort to ban plastic bags at large retailers in Chicago. The proposed ordinance, introduced by Ald. Proco "Joe'' Moreno (1st), would encourage people to bring reusable bags to the store and charge a nickel for paper or so-called plastic alternative bags at retailers of 5,000 square feet or more.

Hi RAD,Autocorrect get you ? ;)Sorry, I don't understand the reference ;~(Seriously, planning to get into the worst nursing homes really seems like the antithesis to a life well-planned. No, no, no.... Medicaid planning is to *AVOID* becoming a ward of Nurse Ratchet!In essence its this;a) create a properly designed trust which will take your assets out of your name and control, but feed them back to subsidize your lifestyle costs,b) gift all non-exempt assets to a trusted person,c) that person then funds the trust (this "one off" step is apparently a necessary dance.)The most preferred method of long term elderly care is in-home support. If you are wealthy enough that you can afford it regardless of insurance, then you are golden.If you cannot afford it at all, Nurse Ratchet awaits.If you can afford about 1/4-1/3 the cost, then Medicare/Medicaid will fund the remaining lion's share, *AS LONG AS* you've appeared to be broke (due to proper planning) for the prior 5 years.DISCLAIMER: I am in no way an expert in this... merely deep into the grokking of it myself as I help my own kin.Dave DonhoffLeverage Planner"Control everything, own nothing."

At the risk of sounding really odd, I have to say: I LOVE winter! (especially when it comes to fashion...) I can't think of anything better than stepping out in bright and beautiful coats, scarves, gloves, boots, leggings, beanies, and all things cute and warm. This season, the colours are looking rich and luxurious! - but remember: don't forget to experiment with your fashion! Try mixing prints and be playful with textures like fur and leather. I'm also looking forward to accessorising like crazy these next few months and I took a little time to pick out some fabulous runway and street-style winter outfits that I'm sure you'll all love!

The timeless Moschino belt
I absolutely love my Moschino Belt. I wear quite often and to me, it's such a timeless piece and definitely a staple in my wardrobe. It adds an edge to any outfit and can sometimes be the stand out piece. Since I love wearing this treasured piece, I thought I'd compile a few photos together to show you the endless number of ways you can style your Moschino belt. I hope you find some inspiration and start belting up!

Rachel Zoe pre-fall 2012 collection
I recently saw the Rachel Zoe Pre-Fall 2012 Collection and fell in love! I've always loved her style, but I found that her collections didn't quite suit me... until now, that is! My style is very feminine and polished yet edgy, and I could never pull off her boho-chic style, which is over-sized and loose fitting. I love wearing structured pieces that have a uniqueness to them. And this collection is exactly that! I love the clean lines that most of the garments have, and I really like how she pairs some of these more structured pieces with chiffon fabrics - it creates a nice balance.
Here are a few photos of her collection:

Trend: YSL ring
These stone YSL rings have been an obsession of mine for a while now. They are such a chic statement piece of jewellery and one that will definitely last through all seasons. I'm seriously considering buying one, but the price tag is keeping it at a distance. And since I have a huge jewellery collection already, i'm going to have to think twice about this one. Nevertheless, it's stunning! And just look at all the possible ways you could style one...

Welcome to THINK WEAR STYLE
Hi all!
Welcome to THINK WEAR STYLE!
My name is Talia and I'm currently working as a fashion columnist. I've also dived into university studies this year - undertaking a Communications (Journalism) and International Studies (French) double degree.
I'm very passionate about fashion and also about writing so I'm starting this blog not only as a creative outlet for me, but also as a way to gain inspiration and connect with other like-minded fashion bloggers.
I've been thinking about starting my own blog for a while now and kept saying to myself that I'd start one when all my other work is up to date. But let's face it, we can never really stay on top of everything at work and university - when one project is finished, another one comes along. So I stopped procrastinating and here I am!
I would describe my personal style as classic and polished, yet trendy and edgy. I love mixing structured blazers with distressed jeans, or tailored pants with an edgy leather jacket.
THINK WEAR STYLE will be my personal style file. I'll share my daily outfits, any great fashion finds that I come across, style suggestions, trends that I currently love and more. I'll basically write about anything that inspires me! I hope you like my blog and don't forget to follow for updates.
I'm excited to see how this goes! I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy blogging.
Until next time,

I have recently worked on some articles about the great terroirs – starting with Romanee-Saint-Vivant. In this proces I sort of got caught up in the history of the Romanee-Saint-Vivant vineyard, thus also the history of DRC and the L'abbeye Saint-Vivant de Vergy – and wanted to explore this further.
I was therefore very exited when I got the opportunity to visit DRC on my March trip to Burgundy – the date 20th of March 2013 will be remembered.
Importance of history and preserving the lagacy of Saint-Vivant de Vergy
When I arrived at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti I was received by Jean-Charles Cuvelier, the estate director at DRC, who generously had prepared a fine program for our visit – with a special focus on the Romanee-Saint-Vivant vineyard.
When talking to Jean-Charles Cuvelier it becomes very clear that history plays a very strong roll in running and developing Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. All changes seems to be made with careful respect for the historic values, thus both keeping the legacy and still moving forward improving quality and the expression of the terroirs.
The history of some of the vineyards dates almost 1000 years back, and I must say I find it very fascinating to see how a lot of the vineyards, layed out by the monks L'abbeye Saint-Vivant de Vergy, still exists today. The names of the vineyards may have changed, but many roads and borders between the vineyards in Vosne are relatively unchanged – and some vineyards like the DRC section of Romanee-Saint-Vivant – have only changed owners two times during these 1000 years – indeed a historic place.
One can really appreciate why Aubert de Villaine has worked very hard to get the Burgundy vineyards recognized as UNESCO World Heritage – and been very active in conserving the historic landmarks connected to the vineyards.
Jean-Charles Cuvelier explained that Domaine de la Romanee-Conti have established a foundation Association de l'abbeye de Saint-Vivant – this foundation has acquired the old monestary L'abbeye Saint-Vivant de Vergy – the cradle of some of the greatest Burgundiean vineyards – with the purpose to save this historic landmark for the future generations.
With the history in mind – we turned to the vineyards and the wines.
Exploring Romanee-Saint-Vivant with Nicolas Jacob
Next stop was a small field trip in Romanee-Saint-Vivant with the Chef de Culture (vineyard manager), Nicolas Jacob, who is one of the key people behind the high quality at DRC.
As many Burgundy producers will tell you – the work in the vineyard is the foundation for all great wines. The work in the cellar can merely expose and present the qualities shaped by the terroir and the work in the vineyards.
Nicolas Jacob, who has been with DRC since 2006, is a very dedicated and intense young man, with a strong passion for his work. He explained in great detail, how they over the years have worked to improve the vineyards – especially focusing on work done in the Romanee-Saint-Vivant vineyard.
DRC took over the Romanee-Saint-Vivant vineyard in 1988 from the Marey-Monge family after renting it since 1966. Since 1988 they have worked very dedicatedly to improve quality and to realize the potential of this legendary vineyard.
An important part of this proces was to improve the quality of the vines in the RSV vineyard. Nicolas Jacob told us that they slowly but surely have removed the old high yielding clones, and replaced them with the lower yielding DRC "clones".
Some of the old vines on Romanee-Saint-Vivant were according to Nicolas Jacob very productive with big grapes and potentially very high yields – yields well beyond 50 hectoliter per hectare were mentioned.
Some of these high yielding vines have now been grafted with the lower yielding DRC "clones", thus using the old root as a base for the vine, while other vines have been replaced by new stocks.
The DRC "clones" used are based on selected material from the Romanee-Conti vineyard, they produce smaller grapes with a optimal balance between solid and liquid material, and with a more intense and complex aromatic profile1 The grating and replanting are done using a several of the DRC "clones" to ensure a aromatic diversity/complexity.
The grafting method were used in some plots – including the southeast corner of the vineyard – but some plots were not suited for grafting, and it was deemed nessesary to replace the roots.
All the wines in southwest corner of the DRC section of Romanee-Saint-Vivant have already been uprooted and replanted. This is a long proces – the first plot was cleared in 2000/2001, and then the plot laid fallow for some years and was replanted in 20051. The replanting proces is now continuing in the other uprooted plots in the southwest corner of the DRC section of Romanee-Saint-Vivant – see map below.
The production from these replanted plots will not be included in the DRC Romanee-Saint-Vivant before the vines reach a sufficient age – i.e. after two or three decades.This replacement of vines really show the DRC dedication to improve quality in the RSV vineyard – it's not a free ride to exclude a quite substantial part of the vineyard from the production during the next 20 years.
There are constantly work to do in the vineyards, and Nicolas Jacob told us about several other large projects in La Tache and Grands Echezeaux that should ensure the high quality in these vineyards.
Tasting of the 2011s from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti
Next stop was a tasting of the 2011 vintage from DRC – Romanee-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg, La Tache and Romanee-Conti were available for tasting – the other wines were either bottled or prepared for botling.
First out we tasted the wine from two different casks of Romanee-Saint-Vivant – one sample was from a new oak barrel, while the other wine came from a previously used "old" barrel.
The RSV without new oak was slightly more closed (reduction) than the wine from new oak, but both showed vibrant red berry fruit, a lovely crisp minerality and very fine energy. The new oak add some weight and body to the wine … and seems to enhance the expression of the wine at this point.
Tasting these two wines gave an important insight in the effects of the oak used by DRC – in my view a quite important factor behind the qualities of these wines.
The oak used at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti seems very discrete and while very important to the wine it doesn't add any distingt or dominant flavors to the wine – the oak is seen more as a catalyst that enhances and refine the flavors allready found in the wine – offering additional depth, body and focus. DRC mainly uses casks from Tonnellerie Francois Freres – made from oak taken from the Foret de Troncais in Allier and Foret des Bertranges in Nievre1
The tasting notes for the 2011s are found via the links below – the note for the RSV is based on the tasting of the wine from the new barrel.

Tasting of older two older DRC wines
Last stop in our program was at the large tasting table in the bottle cellar of DRC. Here we tasted two matured wines – the Richebourg 2004 and the Batard Montrachet 2000.
The Richebourg 2004 was very open and expressive with loads of red fruit and sous-bois in he nose. The palate offered lovely cool fruit – balanced and refined – without the green notes found in some 2004s – a fine wine indeed.
The Batard-Montrachet 2000 was fantastic offering layers of matured fruit, puity, depth and complexity. A outstanding wine by any standard – sadly it's not commercially availible.
Tasting notes for the last two wines will follow shortly.

Slate is the bike you never knew you always wanted. It seems like a fever dream. It ain't no dull gravel grinder, it's a full-tilt road bike with legit off-road chops. It's a drop-bar bike with a Lefty front fork. It's got massive tyres, yet still boasts road bike quickness. It's like nothing you've seen before, and yet somehow, it's everything you hoped it would be. Float over potholes, boost off of curbs, stick impossible lean angles, rail down trails or just bring a little excitement to the next group ride. On Slate, fun is the only mission.SLATE IS:
- The most absurdly fun road bike ever created.
- The bike for people who want to ride roads without having to "road-ride"
- The most all-around capable "road" bike we've ever made
RIDER PROFILE: Roadies looking for a new thrill. MTB'ers or action-sports enthusiasts looking for looser, more open definition of "road riding". Highly skilled riders looking for new limits to push. Highly unskilled riders looking to build skills without consequences.BIG TYRES ON SMALL WHEELS - 650BX42CThe idea for Slate started with the realization that 650b road wheels with massive 42c tyres offer the same rollout (outer diameter) as a 700x22c wheel/tyre combo. That means we could get the unreal cornering grip and float of big tyres, with proper road bike speed and crazy-good handling.SLATE'S "FULL FUN" GEOMETRYSince we didn't have to compromise the Slate's geo around big tyres on big wheels, we were free to optimize it to maximize fun in all conditions. Short chainstays keep things lively and agile, while a longer front-centre and slacker head angle provide the stability needed for rough roads and off-road excursions. Rider position fits right between the full aggressiveness of Elite Race and the more upright Endurance.LEFTY OLIVERDesigned to be ridden all-over, the Oliver is built specifically for Slate. 30mm of travel, with heavily tuned low speed compression damping and a unique COG (Coil over Gas) negative spring to minimize bobbing. PBR on-the-fly lockout and rebound adjustment. Carbon outer structure and OPI forged alloy inner leg. It's the most capable front suspension the road has ever seen.SAVE PLUS MICRO-SUSPENSION SYSTEMThe dramatic shaping of the seat stays and chainstays on the Slate provide a great balance of big bump-eating capability and rock solid rigidity. Just what you needwhen blasting down rocky trails or potholed streets.DROPPER POST COMPATIBLENothing inspires confidence like a dropper post, and with 27.2mm diameter posts and internal dropper routing, it's an easy upgrade to make.SYNTACE 142X12 THRU-AXLEThru-axle design boosts stiffness.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China will continue to use monetary, fiscal and structural reform policies to boost infrastructure investment and transform the country's economy into a consumption-driven one, People's Bank of China Deputy Governor Yi Gang said on Thursday.
"If that transformation is successful, China will continue to have a stable share of global growth," he said while participating on a panel at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Washington.
Yi added that China's economy was more stable now and would continue to contribute its share of global growth.
"If I use one word to describe the Chinese economy now, it is more stable," Yi said. "I have more confidence in the stability of the Chinese economy now than before. I think the GDP continues to grow from (the) 6.5 percent to 7 percent range, and also employment is good."

Veggie Tales has done yet another awesome movie with The Little House That Stood. Spinning off of the classic Grimm's Tale 'The Three Little Pigs', The Little House That Stood is an adorable film. It's enough of a story change to leave even the grown ups entertained! Well, at least it kept me entertained! The songs are, as always, super adorable and leaves you singing along in a good mood! I am still overwhelmingly loving the lessons that Veggie Tales instills in our children! There are, of course, new lessons to be learned in this video too!
About The Little House That Stood
When the Three Little Pigs roll into Cabbageville looking to build some new houses, they meet one builder with a plan and two without a clue! Larry builds with hay, Mr. Lunt with bricks, but only Bob builds his houses on a firm foundation – following the wise plans from the Master Builder's Handbook! Will the Little Piggies make the right choices when it comes to building their houses – and their lives – on solid ground? Find out in this parable that shows kids when they follow God's blueprints, then can stand strong when the storms come!

She then informed me that she wanted to "go bye".
I tried telling her that the two of us were staying home while Mommy and Scotland left, but she wasn't satisfied with that.
She still wanted to go bye.
Then she started getting specific.
"I want to go Grandma's".
We (Dalyn & I) told her that Grandma was at work.
She then got this look on her face that only a 2-year-old girl can give. The kind of look that only works on her father. Part cute, part sad, part begging, part broken heart.
She looked up at me. Our eyes locked. Her eyes began to glisten, and in the cutest most irresistable two-year-old girl voice she could muster, she said "I want Hardee's.".
Someone knows how to work that little finger.
(For what it's worth, if Dalyn hadn't been on her way out the door with our only car, Ireland and I would've been on our way to get some Thickburgers.)
Now, for those of you who don't know, Hardee's/Carl's Jr. Has been my favorite burger joint since I was a little kid. I used to live directly across the street from (as I called it) a Star Burger.
Ireland has obviously picked up on this.
This story brought to mind a similar story about my little brother.
He was trying to convince My Mother to take him to a particular fast food place (I forget which one, Texas didn't have the Happy Star back then, just the lone one...), and with the same logic as used above, said, in a sing-song voice, "They have Dr Pepper."

Hello, I have a suggestion which should help troubleshooting websites in some cases: The validator should also check the content-type sent by the webserver and warn if the document has been checked as xhtml, yet the webserver content-type response is text/html instead of application/xhtml+xml. As, if that is the case, the document might be parsed incorrectly in most browsers, including Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome. The most common issue is the incorrect handling of self-closing tags such as <div /> if the content type isn't application/xhtml+xml. Also, no matter what is set in the <meta> tag of the xhtml document, the response by the server overrules its content type. See examples for this: http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml#content_type Regards, David HenningerReceived on Tuesday, 27 December 2011 23:07:07 UTC

I HEART Korean TV
The following video is of a Korean TV commercial for what appears to be something that reduces stress, increases sperm count and sex drive, shrinks your prostate, and cleans out your urinary track by turning your penis into a howitzer. The full thing was nearly five minutes long, and somehow involved teepees and Chief Sitting Bull at one point. Ah, Korea.
I have mentioned this before, I think, but there are also TWO television stations that show video game competitions of Starcraft, a computer game that is well over 10 years old. People can win up to $10,000 playing in these competitions, with live studio audiences, giggling fan-girls, and the biggest names in Korean pop stars performing between matches. Cra-zy. They also show other games, such as first-person shooter Sudden Attack hints and industry news similar to the station G4 in the States, but mostly it is Starcraft 24-7.
Koreans, as far as I can tell, do not play football as we Americans think of it; but they do seem to have a fascination with it. This is especially true since the Steelers were in the Super Bowl. Hines Ward is half-Korean, and he has captured the imagination of Koreans in a strange, new way.

Service prices are expected to rise steadily from 2011 to 2014 in response to demand growth resulting from increases in corporate profit and total advertising expenditure.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 27, 2014
The market for media placement and fulfillment services has a buyer power score of 3.1 out of 5, indicating a moderate level of buyer power. According to IBISWorld analyst Kayley Freshman-Caffrey, high vendor specialization, high switching costs for buyers that have worked with a particular supplier in the past and high market share concentration hamper buyer power. On the other hand, a favorable pricing environment tempers the negative effects of these factors for buyers.
Because media placement and fulfillment services are labor intensive, and solutions are customized to each buyer, suppliers are highly specialized. As a result, buyers may be compelled to work with a specific supplier if that supplier's competencies are most suited to the buyer's needs. This factor reduces the buyer's ability to leverage the availability of other suppliers during negotiations, hurting buyer power. Additionally, it is costly for buyers to switch between suppliers due to the relationship-based nature of the service, continues Freshman-Caffrey. Some suppliers have monopolies on certain media spots, further impeding the switching process by preventing buyers from retaining particular media spots when considering another supplier.
High market share concentration further limits buyers' choice of supplier. The top four firms exert considerable influence over the market, and in many cases buyers may find that the only available agencies are subsidiaries of these market giants. Examples of market firms include Dentsu Inc., Empower MediaMarketing and Havas SA. This restriction on available suppliers tempers market competition, although competition is still high because these advertising conglomerates must compete with each other business.
Buyer power is strengthened by the pricing environment for media placement and fulfillment services. Price volatility for these services is low, allowing buyers to predict prices and budget for expenses. Because price volatility is low, buyers do not need to enter a binding contract to lock in prices. Prices are expected to remain stable in the three years to 2017, to the benefit of buyers. Overall, buyers are limited in their selection of available suppliers, but face favorable pricing conditions. Consequently, buyer power in the market is moderate.
