The protesters against President Zia's regime come from many backgrounds. Outside the town of Larkana, the northern Sindi city gripped by political violence now entering its third week, a group of protesters included older women in the long shirt and baggy trousers that are Pakistan's national dress and young students who were bearded and vocal in their anger.
There were also the ''sardars,'' or tribal elders, the feudal landlords, and the ''pirs'' and ''mirs'' - the hereditary religious leaders of Pakistan's volatile province of Sind.
They gathered at the gravesite of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Former Prime Minister Bhutto was a native of Larkana. A powerful politician, he was overthrown as prime minister and then executed in April 1979 by the martial law government of Gen. Mohammed Zia ul-Haq.
Police moved in to disperse last Sunday's gathering with teargas cannisters and lathi sticks (a club of bamboo and iron) at the ready, if it was necessary to charge. At least 15 persons were arrested, according to a government spokesman, including two members of the Bhutto family.
The protest near Larkana was the most personal - if indirect - confrontation yet between the two men, Bhutto and Zia, who have galvanized the Sindi body politic.
In a surprisingly strong, rural mass movement in Sind - the first such political movement outside the cities that Pakistan has seen - thousands have continued their defiance of General Zia's martial law regime. At least 38 people have died in the protests. According to opposition sources, 80 are dead. The opposition claims 7,000 have been arrested or successfully ''courted arrest.'' The government acknowledges that some 1,400 Sindis are under arrest.
Driving through Sind's interior, where slate hills turn to desert and large tracts of rice, wheat, and cotton fields are flooded by monsoon rains, one is struck by the poverty. There are few development programs here.
People live on the margin of an agricultural economy. One passes through a score of hamlets and villages hugging the banks of the Indus River.
In recent weeks, they have all, in one way or another, protested against the Zia regime or gone on the rampage. They have defied police lines, been beaten back by teargas or a lathi charge. They have burned government buildings, disrupted transportation links, broken into Sindi jails and court buildings, or engaged in general strikes.
Inside the dirty, overcrowded jail in Dadu, one of Sind's most violent, up-river towns 200 miles from Karachi, 77 political prisoners told why they were willing to defy martial law, endure flogging, and go before special military courts-martial whose sessions last less than five minutes.
Their reasons for submitting to the punishment are as eclectic as the four provinces of Pakistan.
The province of Punjab, they acknowledge, is the key to the longevity of the Zia regime. If the country's most populous province, its breadbasket and dispenser of army positions and posts in the federal bureaucracy, does not enter the protest, Zia and his army will probably be able to control the situation here in Sind.
But, that is not the end, they add quickly. In Sind, the fuse has been lit. And, if the protest is confined within this southern province's borders, if others do not join, it will give far greater impetus to the more radical voices favoring Sindi independence, a movement called ''Sinduh-Desh.''
All of the young men crammed into one of the barracks of Dadu's prison want to speak. They include medical students, provincial government civil servants, workers, shopkeepers, and peasants. Most are supporters of Mr. Bhutto's Pakistani People's Party, which has always dominated the politics of Sind. Others belong to the ''Sinduh-Desh'' movement or are followers of the traditional ''sardars'' or hereditary ''pirs.''
Some are political protesters, demanding a return to democracy and the end of martial law, others are protesting Zia's Islamization program - most interior Sindis are Sufi Muslims who charge that General Zia has made heresy of the Koran. Still others are there at the behest of their ''sardars,'' who have refused to pay the Islamic ''usur'' land tax, on their vast holdings, which dominate the Indus River valley of Sind. Some are here because they went to the streets to avenge Mr. Bhutto's death. Others are followers of G. M. Sayed, the father of Sindi nationalism, a hereditary ''pir,'' who is the guiding force behind the Sinduh-Desh movement.
Strangers here are eyed with suspicion. But when people discover a journalist , they immediately want to talk. It is not surprising that their primary topic of conversation is their long-time resentment over domination by governments, armies, and bureaucracies coming from the Punjab region.

The All Covers Version Wedding Cocktail Hour Playlist - Volume 1
- Posted on Wednesday, October 1, 6:58 am
In this our 40th installment of the wedding cocktail hour playlist series, we compiled an "all covers version" cocktail hour playlist. Contributing to this list were Ambient DJ music mixologists Gregg Ambient and Iron Mike, joined by our friend from the San Francisco Bay area, DJ Dan Rosenbach (proprietor of Love in the Mix).
The goal of the project was to select songs that are appropriate wedding cocktail hour fare, but with interesting and quality productions that rival or exceed the original versions.
Reflecting the fun and lighter nature of the playlist, for our signature cocktail, we opted for a bottle of Mexican beer Tecate, served with a lime. Cheers!

Catnip for Classic Lit Lovers
By Lynn Cullen
Gallery Books, 2014
314 pages
Five stars
The triumphant success of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" compels fledgling poet Frances Osgood to meet her literary idol, a mysterious, complicated man who soon has her under his seductive spell in an all-consuming affair. And when Edgar's frail young wife breaks into their idyll to befriend her rival, Frances fears that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating death itself. . . .
In her novel, Mrs. Poe, author Lynn Cullen describes Edgar Allan Poe as "catnip" to female members of the New York literati circa 1845. I'm happy to say her historical fiction novel had the same effect on me.
Long have I been a fan of Poe and his macabre tales and reading Cullen's book sent me straight to my copy of The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, not to revisit "The Tell-Tale Heart" or "Murders in the Rue Morgue," but instead in search of his love poems to Frances Sargent Osgood. Their flirtations on paper and in public caused quite a scandal back in the day. And they intrigued Cullen enough to write Mrs. Poe.
Edgar Allan Poe's writing career was very up and down, a sad fact that unfortunately can be said about his life as well. Tragedy seemed to haunt Poe at every stage. Born to actor parents in Boston, MA, he was abandoned by his father and orphaned at age two when his mother died. John and Frances Allan took him in as a foster child but never formally adopted him. Poe stayed with the Allans until attending the University of Virginia. A notoriously cheap man, John Allan sent Poe to university with only enough money to pay for tuition, nothing for living expenses. Poe gambled what meager pittance he could scrape up in hopes of doubling his money, but instead lost it all and eventually dropped out of college.
Poe and John Allan had a difficult relationship, but they reconciled briefly when Allan purchased him a commission at West Point, which was, of course, a terrible fit for young Edgar, who had been writing since his pre-teen years.
Lost and destitute, Poe got himself court martialed so he could leave West Point and went back to Richmond, Virginia, to live with his mother's relatives, where he was robbed by one cousin before being taken in by his mother's sister, Mary Clemm, who had a daughter, Virginia. Finally with comfortable shelter, Poe began writing and sold various pieces here and there. He married his cousin Virginia when she was 13. He was 26. Maybe it was a marriage borne out of loneliness? Or perhaps Poe wanted to provide for his aunt and cousin? Many Poe scholars believe he very much cared for his young wife, but it has been speculated the marriage was never consummated.
Professionally, Poe made a name for himself as a literary critic, and a harsh one at that. Known as "The Tomahawk Man," his words and struck down many of his contemporaries, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was only Frances Sargent Osgood whom he praised.
|Frances Osgood
|Edgar Allan Poe
And that's where Cullen's story begins.
Frances' husband, the painter Samuel Stillman Osgood, had abandoned his wife and two girls in pursuit of a wealthy socialite who had once sat for a portrait, very typical behavior for Samuel, so it seemed. Frances and her daughters were taken in by the publisher John Russell Bartlett and his wife, Eliza, after being kicked out of the luxurious Astor House hotel unable to pay the large bill Samuel ran up before he left. Already a fairly established writer, Frances sets out to further build her career at a time when no woman but Margaret Fuller had yet to support herself with her writing, save perhaps, Louisa May Alcott who shows up later in the book.
At the same time, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" has just been published, and he is the literary toast of the town. Everyone is clamoring to meet the original mind behind the stories, particularly Frances who has been told by her editor to write something more like Poe, something to scare women readers.
They meet at one of the many "conversaziones" held at the home of Anne Lynch, monthly literary salons whose attendees included many of the New York literary circle, including Margaret Fuller and Poe nemesis Rufus Griswold.
I don't want to say more and risk spoiling the book for you. Suffice to say, it is a tale worthy of Poe himself. Cullen recreated New York in the mid-1800s with great attention to detail. I looked forward to every one of Lynch's conversaziones, eager to see who would show up next. Herman Melville? Samuel Morse? Walt Whitman? James Audubon? Matthew Brady? This was a well-written, thoroughly researched piece, my friends. And the love triangle was thrilling!
Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable, Mrs. Poe was definitely a bibliophile's delight.
Next Up:
Reading Mrs. Poe sent me in search of the real events in the lives of Edgar Allan Poe and Frances Osgood. I'll discuss the formidable Mr. Poe.

If you are conducting some Mccann family history research then you can view the Mccann coat of arms and the name meaning and origin of the name as well as the meaning of symbols below. This is a great place to start when tracing your genealogy and Mccann surname history and will help you answer the question 'what is the meaning of my name?'
The McCann ancient family history was found in the irishsurnames.com archives. Meaning 'Wolf-Hound', variants of the name McCann include Canny, McGann and Magann. The MacCann's territory was in County Armagh on the shores of Lough Neagh, and they were known as Lords of Clanbrassil. One of these, Amhlaibh MacCanna, who died in 1155, is described by the Four Masters as a 'pillar of chivalry and vigour of Cinel Eoghain', and the last to be mentioned in the Four Masters died in 1260. Donnell MacCanna was Chief of Clanbrassil as late as 1598. The name is still numerous around the Clanbrassil area in modern times. The most noteworthy of the name in recent times is Michael Joseph MacCann, 1824-1883, author of the poem 'O'Donnell Abu'. A County Limerick variation of McCann is Canny.The McCann family crest (or coat of arms) came into existence many centuries ago. The process of creating these coats of arms began as early as the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this, including Ireland. The new more formalized art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own family crest, coat of arms, including McCann descendants.

With the passing of the National Quartet Convention last month, a whole slew of new recordings were released. One of them that I have been anxiously awaiting is the subject of today's review. Full Sail is the latest recording by the Mark Trammell Quartet. This is the first proper MTQ mainline project to feature both bass vocalist Randy Byrd and tenor singer Blake Buffin, last years release Rewind was a new recording of songs from the group's Trio years with new vocals. This is also the second recording the group has released on their own label, Crimson Road Productions.
The project kicks off with "All The Way Home", a nice uptempo quartet song featuring Nick and Blake on the chorus. We then move on to the first ballad of the project, a cover of an old Gaither tune, "My Faith Still Holds". Mark is featured on this one and I've got to say, it may be one of the finest performances he's turned in since forming MTQ. He sings with conviction, compassion, and excitement. Next up is "Go Show John", an uptempo song with a country flavor that features Nick. This song is a great example of Nick's growth as a lead singer, and I enjoyed his vocal. "Treasures In Heaven" slows things down a bit and features Byrd on the verses. The first half of the recording comes to a close with another uptempo song "Already In Canaan Land", written by Rodney Griffin. I really liked this song and was even more surprised to find Rodney wrote it. It's a different song stylistically than what I associate with Griffin and the guys do a great job with it.
The second half of the project kicks off with one of my favorite hymns, "He Hideth My Soul". The guys used Tommy Fairchild's arrangement that he made famous with the Blackwood Brothers of the late 70's/early 80's. Now, Blake Buffin may not be Pat Hoffmaster, but he does a great job on this song. Randy Byrd steps back out front to take the feature on the classic, "Led Out Of Bondage'. While it is a good cut and I enjoyed Randy's vocal, I wasn't really a fan of the arrangement as the guys extended it out a bit.
The guys do another cover, this time of The Imperials "More Than You'll Ever Know", which features Blake. This one was surprised me quite a bit and Blake did a fantastic job on it. Mark steps up to the mic to do another cover, "God Takes Good Care Of Me". I enjoyed this song as well, but once again the arrangement really extended the song a bit more than I thought it should have. The project comes to a close with a great Rebecca Peck/Dianne Wilkinson song, "Redeemer of My Soul".
For me personally, Full Sail is miles better than their last mainline project, Your Walk Talks. One reason this rings true for me is the addition of Blake Buffin as opposed to the group's previous tenor, Dustin Black. Blake is a true tenor and has a more pleasing tone which is really an added bonus on this project. The guys have a great blend right now and of course, Mark Trammell is a master at picking the right songs for a project. The song selection and vocals for this project are excellent. However, my biggest critique of the project would be that Treasures In Heaven, Led Out Of Bondage, and God Takes Good Care Of Me seemed to drag on just a bit too long, like the arranger did not know how to wrap it up. Overall, Full Sail is a great project and one of the most enjoyable releases of the year for me, I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Favorite songs: All The Way Home, My Faith Still Holds, Go Show John, Already In Canaan Land, He Hideth My Soul.

Automotive brands ahead of the game with Super Bowl ad campaigns
The cost of a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl was a cool $5 million this year. This begs the question: Do brands that pay for this prime TV real estate see a positive return on their advertising investment? In response to this, Experian® examined five automotive brands that had a social media component tied to their Super Bowl 50 campaigns. According to the analysis*, these brands not only gained more social media followers, but these people also were more influential and socially active than the average social media user.
In fact, the percentage of high-influencer followers (consumers with more than 1,000 followers) for these brands increased 14.8 percent during the month after the Big Game, while the number of consumers talking about these auto brands increased by 17.2 percent. Additionally, the average number of posts for each follower increased by 35.4 percent during the same time period.
"Because this is one of the most sought-after advertising slots, brands need to make sure they take full advantage of the connection they can make with audiences during the Super Bowl. That means developing a creative strategy that works across channels and encourages people to engage with the brand," said Brienna Pinnow, Experian's director of product marketing for Targeting. "If a brand is going to invest in high-dollar ad space like the Super Bowl, they need to take a multichannel approach. This means extending the TV ad's story into a social media conversation. Through our data and analytical capabilities, we're able to help brands identify and connect with audiences who will spread their message to fans, followers and potential new customers. As our analysis shows, when Super Bowl advertisers understand the data and link their strategy across channels, they have the power to motivate action."
Leveraging Experian's consumer marketing database, the analysis also looked at the core demographics of those who engaged with each of these automotive brands on social media within a month of their Super Bowl campaigns. Findings revealed that men were approximately 30 percent more likely to engage with these brands than the general population. Nearly 60 percent of users who engaged fell between the ages of 26 and 50, with the average user age approximately three years older than the typical social media user. Furthermore, more than 37 percent of the audience had an average income between $50,000 and $99,999.
The analysis also showed consumers who engaged with these brands were 1.72 times more likely to fall within the life stage Experian refers to as "Couples with Clout" based on the company's Mosaic® lifestyle segmentation system. People in this segment often are middle-aged couples with teenage children. They have an active and energetic lifestyle and live in more affluent neighborhoods. Additionally, Couples with Clout find joy in consumption. Most are in the market for a vehicle, new or used, and they like to buy CUVs and imported sedans with the latest high-tech options.
"We live in an era where consumers freely express their opinions and preferences through a variety of channels," continued Pinnow. "Social media data offers brand marketers unique insight into the behaviors, beliefs and preferences of both their current and potential brand fans. We enable marketers to make sense of and transform the wealth of social media data available to them and turn it into actionable and meaningful insight. This helps marketers optimize and deliver content that is relevant to their audiences, particularly for those brands planning campaigns for this year's game."
Interestingly, in another recent Experian analysis, four of the five automotive brands analyzed also ranked in the top 20 for brand loyalty. Toyota was sixth (66 percent), Hyundai was 11th (63.2 percent), Audi was 15th (56.9 percent), and Jeep was 18th (55 percent).
"The primary goal of each marketing campaign is to deliver a message that resonates with the audience on a personal level and encourages them to take action," continued Pinnow. "Marketers who accomplish this can create a better experience for their customers, which hopefully can evolve into a loyal brand relationship."

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Crossing the Brent Spence bridge will take a bite out of your wallet if Ohio Governor John Kasich has his way.
Kasich says funding for a $2.5 billion replacement bridge isn't assured. He says people need to think outside the box for ways to pay for the project. Kasich say charging a toll would provide a reliable source of revenue for the replacement bridge and construction could begin in 2014 which is two years ahead of schedule.
The Ohio governor is getting support from Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear who says tolls are an option. Beshear says, "For a project of this magnitude, all financing options, including tolling, must remain on the table."
FOX19 talked to some of our viewers to see what they think of the toll idea.
Tim MacDonald of Cincinnati says, "I think its a bad idea....I think people will avoid it. I mean they put it in and don't want to pay for repairs to it so why stick it to the people."
Robin Hensley of Northern Kentucky says, "It probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Its probably a good way of getting some revenue."
Dawn Smith says, "Why should we the citizens pay of a toll on that bridge that they say they can't afford."
Dave Clemons says, "I don't think the toll on the bridge is a good idea because we're in a rough economy right now and a lot of people can't afford to pay the extra money to go across the bridge. It should be free."
Robert John says government takes too much money from citizens already. "They take enough money from us now for taxes and stuff."
Naomi Hansheu says she's keeping an open mind. She says "I think the bridge definitely needs to be replaced. I would say that if all else fails then maybe a toll, but I'm not sure that's the only solution."
If the toll idea were to move forward its not clear how much the toll would be, where the toll booths would be located and if tolls would be charged in both directions."

We here at Zap2it noticed something a little strange in looking at the resume of TV legend James Burrows ("Taxi," "Cheers," "Friends") Wednesday morning (May 16) following the CBS upfronts announcement of their new 2012-13 lineup: "Partners," a new comedy for which Burrows directed the pilot, is already on his list of credentials — a sitcom from 1995 also named "Partners."
And there are more similarities than just Burrows as a director. CBS describes "Partners" as "two life-long best friends and business partners whose 'bromance' is tested when one of them is engaged to be married." The lead characters (played by David Krumholtz and Michael Urie) are architects, and Krumholtz's fiancee is named Ali.
The 1995-96 comedy from FOX is described as "Best friends Bob and Owen work together as aspiring young architects on the rise, their relationship complicated by Owen's recent engagement to Alicia."
Weird, right? Disappointingly, co-creator David Kohan's real-life wife is named Blair and not Alicia or Ali.
The CBS description also says their "Partners" is "based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick," who have worked together throughout their Hollywood careers — "Dream On," "Boston Common," "Good Morning Miami," "Will & Grace," "Four Kings" and "$#*! My Dad Says."
The FOX "Partners" was not created by Kohan and Mutchnick, but by Jeff Greenstein and Jeff Strauss. Greenstein previously worked on 132 episodes of "WIll & Grace" — which was created by Kohan and Mutchnick. However, they didn't all work together on "Will & Grace" until years after the FOX "Partners" went off the air.
There is one major difference between the 1995 "Partners" and the 2012 "Partners" — one of the friends in 2012, Louis (Urie), is gay and in a relationship with a male nurse (Brandon Routh). In 1995, both male friends on the show were straight.
However, that could really be chalked up to these times, they are a-changin'. And in real life, Mutchnick is openly gay.
There's no reason to think that CBS' new comedy "Partners" is not based on the lives of Kohan and Mutchnick. But we wonder if perhaps Jeff Greenstein put their story on the air years before they thought about doing so? Perhaps Kohan and Mutchnick unconsciously made their new show similar to its predecessor?
Updated to add: Greenstein actually added one more similarity in a tweet, "My God. The new Partners even has the old Partners' time slot."
And just in case you're curious, the 1995 "Partners" starred Tate Donovan and Jon Cryer. And the woman whose engagement shakes up their relationship was Maria Pitillo then, Sophia Bush now. The opening credits sequence for "Partners" circa 1995 is below.

Jessica Simpson's big family
- Bang Showbiz
- 14 October 2008
Jessica Simpson has revealed she wants six children with boyfriend Tony Romo, and says she is "proud" to be his girlfriend
Jessica Simpson wants six children with boyfriend Tony Romo.
The 'Do You Know' singer - who recently denied she and the American football star were engaged - is keen to start a family with the sportsman.
Jessica, 28, said: "I'd love six kids running around, but I guess I'll have to start pretty soon. It's a beautiful relationship. Tony is everything I could dream of and I really love him. I'm proud to be his girlfriend."
Jessica insists she is happy to publicly speak about her love life, adding: "Even if things don't work out between Tony and me - though, knock on wood, I believe they will - I don't regret anything I've ever said.
"That's just how I love. I'm all in and I live one moment at a time. If I'm happy, I'll talk about being happy. Maybe I do talk too much, but I still feel as if I'm holding back."
As well as having no problem with sharing her private life with her fans, the blonde beauty is prepared to speak about her divorce from singer Nick Lachey, who she starred with in MTV reality show 'Newlyweds'.
She told Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I don't regret the show or my marriage. Not at all. It made me who I am. I admit I'm a ditz and I've had my moments - I'm the first one to walk on stage, trip up in front of thousands of people and split my pants, but I don't take myself too seriously."

Learn everything about Clusel Roch, Cote Rotie with wine tasting notes, wine and food pairing tips, best vintages, a history of the property, information on the vineyards and winemaking. If you want to read about other important wineries and wine makers from the Rhone valley: Links to all Rhone Valley Wine Producer Profiles
Clusel Roch History, Overview
The birth of what we know as Clusel Roch dates back to the mid 1930's when Baptiste Clusel first began to plant a small parcel of vines in the Cote Rote appellation. However, the actual founding of the domaine took place in 1969.
That is the year when Rene Clusel took control of 1 hectare of vines. Those vines included a small parcel in Les Grandes Places lieu-dit. The oldest vines were planted in the late 1930's by the father of Rene Clusel, Baptiste Clusel.
Clusel Roch is named after its owners, Gilbert Clusel and Brigitte Roch. The name first came into use in 1989. Gilbert Clusel and Brigitte Roch started out with only a small parcel of vines they inherited from Rene Clusel in 1987.
To allow them to produce more wine and actually make money with a full time career in the wine business, they also entered into leasing agreements with other vineyard owners to increase production. They began a program of massale selection in 1991.
Today, they have close to 4 hectares of vines in the northern Rhone. Their largest holdings are in the La Vialliere vineyard. Those vines range in age from 30 to 50 years of age.
Starting with the difficult 2002 vintage, Clusel Roch began to practice biodynamic farming techniques in their Northern Rhone Valley vineyards. Their most prized wine comes from a small .7 hectare plot of old Syrah vines on Grandes Places.
These old vines were planted in 1935 by the grandfather of Gilbert, Baptiste Clusel. The domaine is a true family affair as their young son, Guillaume Clusel has recently joined the estate.
Clusel Roch Vineyards, Wines, Winemaking
Clusel Roch owns 3.5 hectares of vines in Cote Rotie and 1/2 hectare of vines in Condrieu. They have a terroir of steep hillside vineyards on the Cote Brune in the in the lieux-dits of Vialliere, Grandes Places, Verenay and Champon.
The terroir is schist and mica soils. Planted to 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier, they have a mix of old and young vines. Since the 2002 vintage, Clusel Roch has been using only biodynamic farming techniques in their vineyards. They were have been certified by Ecocert since 2005.
The best vintages of Clusel Roche are: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, 2003, 2001, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1995, 1991, 1990 and 1989.
Domaine Clusel Roch produces a Condrieu and 4 Cote Rotie wines. To produce the wine, following a partial destemming of approximately 20%, to 50% of the grapes takes place. The wines of Clusel Roch are vinified in a combination of concrete tanks and steel vats. The wines are aged in 20% new, French oak barrels for up to 24 months before bottling.
Clusel Roch La Petite Feuille is their entry level Cote Rotie. La Petite Feuille is produced from the estates youngest vines that range in age from 4 to 10 years of age. The wine is aged in used, French oak barrels.
Clusel Roch Cote Rotie Classique uses about 4% Viognier with 96% Syrah in the blend. However, that can vary a bit. On average, 50% of the grapes are whole cluster fermented. The Cote Rotie Classique spends close to 2 years in oak, of which 20% are new. The remaining barrels range from one to five years of age.
Clusel Roch La Grandes Places made from 100% Syrah planted in a terroir of mica, schist and iron soils. The wine is aged in 50% new, French oak barrels for close to 18 months. Les Grandes Places is a small production wine. Less than 200 cases are produced in each vintage of this stunner. It's a beautiful style of Cote Rotie.
Clusel Roch La Vialliere made its debut with the 2011 vintage. The vines as you might guess are planted in the La Vialliere, which is located just a bit lower no the slopes than their holdings on La Grandes Places. The vines are on average 25 years of age. The wine is aged in 25% new, French oak barrels for up to 24 months before bottling.
When to Drink Clusel Roch, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Clusel Roch, when young, should be decanted at least 1-2 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Clusel Roch is usually better with 7-9 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 8-18 years of age, depending on the wine and the vintage.
Serving Clusel Roch with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Clusel Roch is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Clusel Roch is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Clusel Roch is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
Condrieu, the white wine of Clusel Roch is best served with a myriad of different seafood dishes, shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi, chicken, pork and veal, as well as Asian cuisine.
Clusel Roch also produces wine in the Coteaux-du-lyonnais appellation. At the end of the day, not much wine is produced here. On average, slightly more than 1,250 cases of wine are produced each year at Domaine Clusel Roch.

|Clusel-Roch Les Grandes Places (Côte-Rôtie)
Clearly drinking in the sweet spot, the fruit is ripe, round, sweet and satisfying. The texture is soft, round and even slightly voluptuous, with no sensation of heat, or jammy notes. The finish is sweet, pure and supple. Popped and poured, the finish was a bit shorter than I would have liked, else my score would have been higher.
207 Views Tasted Oct 6, 2018
Drinking in the sweet spot, with all its kirsch, floral, smoke, flint, black raspberry, earth and licorice notes in full force. Soft, focused, long and fresh, the elegant, floral, sweet, and tart black raspberry finish hits the spot. Sadly, so little of this wine is made, after release, it's impossible to find. If you see bottle, grab it!

It's always good when your last bottle was the best bottle from the case, especially shared with friends. This perfectly mature Cote Rotie offered an earthy, spice box, cherry, floral, stone and pepper perfume. Pure silk in texture, the wine finished with minerality and pure, ripe, red berries.

Kirsch, spice, tobacco, earth and strawberry aromas open to an elegant style of Cote Rotie. Earthy, cherries and silky textures finish this fully mature wine.

Back in the early eighties, when my kids were young, I came upon a recipe in either Family Circle or Woman's Day. Which, by the way, was about .29 or .39 cents back then.
I had never cooked with wine before, and rarely have except for that recipe. I have lost the actual recipe somewhere along the way. But it was basically caramelized onions and carrots in cream and wine.
I recall it took over an hour to make this dish. You cooked the carrots and onions in a big skillet in the butter you'd melted. Until they were softened a bit. Then you added the wine and let it cook down, which took some time. And then you added the cream.
Oh boy, this recipe was a hit and asked for for years.
Do you have a recipe that became a family favorite?

Meet Carl Hyde, a Navy veteran from East Bethany. He was a winner in our Veteran's Day Smile Make-Over contest along with Kevin Roof and Michael Vickery.
Carl served from 1981 to 1987. "Generations of my family served — uncles, great uncles — it was a family tradition," he said when asked why he wanted to serve his country. He saw a lot of the world during his time in the Navy. When he got out in 1987 he married, had children and took a job at Sherwin-Williams. "I worked, took care of my family and my kids and never put myself first," he shared.
That was until his wife, Maelynn, saw the the television commercial about the Veteran's Day Smile Make-Over that Westermeier-Martin was offering and urged him to apply.
"I've had health and teeth issues, had dentures and just thought I'd have to keep walking around with whatever (bad teeth) I have," Carl said. "I never thought I'd win and I am just ecstatic. I can look in the mirror and see someone who isn't looking and feeling miserable."
Carl said he grew a beard and moustache as a way to "hide" his smile. "My bad teeth impacted my life and my attitude," he said.
In his role as a town supervisor in East Bethany, Carl is in front of the public on a regular basis and knew he needed to find a way to fix his smile and his being chosen by Westermeier-Martin Dental Care as a winner, will help him do just that.
"I do a lot of public speaking and it was embarrassing," he said. Carl speaks in his role as supervisor and also in the classes he teaches for the Department of Environmental Conservation on gun safety and hunting education. "Now I can feel happy volunteering to speak again."
When asked about his experience at Westermeier-Martin Dental Care, Carl said, "They are always happy to see me. They make me feel welcome. It's like no place I've ever been before."
Once Carl has completed his dental care plan we will be posting before and after photos so you can see the power of a smile that you're proud to share.

Talk about making up for lost time. After four years of silence, Glasgow six-piece The Phantom Band returned earlier this year with their astonishing 'Strange Friend' album, which is sure to feature high on RW/FF's Albums Of 2014 list. With that brilliant record still fresh in our minds, the band have already lined up another album for release early next year. 'Fears Trending' will be issued on January 26 via Chemikal Underground Records, and is described as "the evil twin of 'Strange Friend' - they're stranger friends, oddball vestiges and hybrids." The first taste of the upcoming LP comes in the form of 'Tender Castle', which can be heard below.
A review of 'Strange Friend' can be found HERE.

dotnet restore
This topic applies to: ✓ .NET Core SDK 1.x ✓ .NET Core SDK 2.x
dotnet restore - Restores the dependencies and tools of a project.
dotnet restore [<ROOT>] [--configfile] [--disable-parallel] [--force] [--ignore-failed-sources] [--no-cache]
[--no-dependencies] [--packages] [-r|--runtime] [-s|--source] [-v|--verbosity]
dotnet restore [-h|--help]
dotnet restore command uses NuGet to restore dependencies as well as project-specific tools that are specified in the project file. By default, the restoration of dependencies and tools are executed in parallel.
Starting with .NET Core 2.0, you don't have to run
dotnet restore because it's run implicitly by all commands that require a restore to occur, such as
dotnet new,
dotnet build and
dotnet run.
It's still a valid command in certain scenarios where doing an explicit restore makes sense, such as continuous integration builds in Azure DevOps Services or in build systems that need to explicitly control the time at which the restore occurs.
To restore the dependencies, NuGet needs the feeds where the packages are located. Feeds are usually provided via the NuGet.config configuration file. A default configuration file is provided when the CLI tools are installed. You specify additional feeds by creating your own NuGet.config file in the project directory. You also specify additional feeds per invocation at a command prompt.
For dependencies, you specify where the restored packages are placed during the restore operation using the
--packages argument. If not specified, the default NuGet package cache is used, which is found in the
.nuget/packages directory in the user's home directory on all operating systems. For example, /home/user1 on Linux or C:\Users\user1 on Windows.
For project-specific tooling,
dotnet restore first restores the package in which the tool is packed, and then proceeds to restore the tool's dependencies as specified in its project file.
The behavior of the
dotnet restore command is affected by some of the settings in the Nuget.Config file, if present. For example, setting the
globalPackagesFolder in NuGet.Config places the restored NuGet packages in the specified folder. This is an alternative to specifying the
--packages option on the
dotnet restore command. For more information, see the NuGet.Config reference.
dotnet restore
Starting with .NET Core 2.0,
dotnet restore is run implicitly if necessary when you issue the following commands:
In most cases, you no longer need to explicitly use the
dotnet restore command.
Sometimes, it might be inconvenient to run
dotnet restore implicitly. For example, some automated systems, such as build systems, need to call
dotnet restore explicitly to control when the restore occurs so that they can control network usage. To prevent
dotnet restore from running implicitly, you can use the
--no-restore flag with any of these commands to disable implicit restore.
Optional path to the project file to restore.
--configfile <FILE>
The NuGet configuration file (NuGet.config) to use for the restore operation.
Disables restoring multiple projects in parallel.
Forces all dependencies to be resolved even if the last restore was successful. Specifying this flag is the same as deleting the project.assets.json file.
Prints out a short help for the command.
Only warn about failed sources if there are packages meeting the version requirement.
Specifies to not cache packages and HTTP requests.
When restoring a project with project-to-project (P2P) references, restores the root project and not the references.
--packages <PACKAGES_DIRECTORY>
Specifies the directory for restored packages.
-r|--runtime <RUNTIME_IDENTIFIER>
Specifies a runtime for the package restore. This is used to restore packages for runtimes not explicitly listed in the
<RuntimeIdentifiers> tag in the .csproj file. For a list of Runtime Identifiers (RIDs), see the RID catalog. Provide multiple RIDs by specifying this option multiple times.
-s|--source <SOURCE>
Specifies a NuGet package source to use during the restore operation. This setting overrides all of the sources specified in the NuGet.config files. Multiple sources can be provided by specifying this option multiple times.
--verbosity <LEVEL>
Sets the verbosity level of the command. Allowed values are

At OneMain, getting behind Elliott Sadler and team is what gets our hearts racing. Join us for the ride to victory!
Elliott's car is completely stripped down after each race, including engine, transmission, driveline, fuel cell, interior and plumbing. All components are inspected, rebuilt and prepared for the next race.
NASCAR cars reach speeds above 150 mph, with many averaging speeds around 180 mph, and some pushing 200 mph. At 200 mph, NASCAR drivers in one second travel 293 feet, almost the length of a football field.
A race car generally uses up three times as much motor oil as your passenger car. Also, race cars only use water in the radiator.
Elliott Sadler is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports.

With a massive V8 that lit up the rear tyres along with a colour palette that screamed for attention, the 1969 GTO was easily the most iconic muscle car of the era. The '64 model was the one that started the craze for big power but what had originally begun as an option package for the mild-mannered Tempest went on to shape an entire generation of high- performance machines. The '69 Pontiac sure kept the party going.
"The Judge" package gave it authority — and a touch of comedy too; the cartoonish badges were a nod to the catchphrase "here come da judge" made famous by late greats Sammy Davis Jr and Pigmeat Markham on the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In variety show. There was also a growing irreverence from society towards establishment figures at the time and GM cashed in by using "The Judge" moniker for its two-door. Advertisements used slogans like "The Judge can be bought" and it proved a brilliant marketing ploy, which sure helped to put the 400 cubic inch (6.6-litre) muscle car even further in the limelight.
All '69 model year GTOs came with the Ram Air III V8 making 366 horsepower while cars with the optional Ram Air IV made 370 horses, but everyone knew they were putting out closer to 400. However, to appease insurance companies, the figures were underrated.
There were no sombre black robes for the Judge; it rode on Rally II wheels wrapped with wide-tread Polyglas G70 tyres, had a rear-deck spoiler, the iconic tach on the bonnet and with all those decals on the body it sure stood out. The interior got black Morrokide bucket seats and rally gauges, while on the mechcanical front it packed a sportier suspension, a Muncie M21 four-speed manual, 4.33 gears and power disc brakes. Pontiac sold 6,725 hard-top Judges (and 108 convertibles) in that debut year and in total 72,287 GTOs.
Today, a low mile well-maintained Judge can set you back in the region of Dh300,000 — worth every penny for the most iconic muscle car of all time.

Sweden L.D.S. Records
|Sweden Wiki Topics
|Beginning Research
|Record Types
|Sweden Background
|Local Research Resources
Finding ancestors in the Swedish L.D.S. records may be an important step in building the family story. L.D.S. records (both membership records and emigration records) may help in finding the place of origin in Sweden or may simply provide interesting facts about the family, their faith, and their courage.
The beginning of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sweden
As early as 1843 at least one Swede had become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was Johan E. Forsgren (later known as John Eric Forsgren). He had joined the Church in Boston, Massachusetts. He joined the body of saints in Nauvoo, later served in the Mormon Battalion and arrived in the Great Basin as early as 1849 being among the first three Scandinavians in the Salt Lake Valley.
In the October 1849 General Conference, a number of missionaries were called to distant lands. Among them were Apostle Erastus Snow and Elder Peter O. Hansen who were called to Denmark with Elder Snow presiding over the Scandinavian mission. . Elder John E. Forsgren petitioned for the opportunity to join in the work. He was called to go to Sweden.
Elder Forsgren finally reached Sweden the summer of 1850. He traveled first to Gävle, his birthplace, to teach his family about the restored Gospel. He hadn't seen them for 20 years. John found his brother, Peter, seriously ill with tuberculosis. The doctor said nothing could be done for him. Elder Forsgren taught him about the priesthood, anointed him with oil and blessed his brother. Peter was completely healed and on 26 July 1850, Peter was baptized becoming the first Latter-day Saint convert in Sweden and also in the new Scandinavian mission.
Elder Forsgren also baptized his sister a few days later. A number of other people also joined the church before Forsgren was arrested and banished (see Sweden: Religious Tolerance). Elder Forsgren served the rest of his mission in Denmark. In 1853, Anders W. Winberg and others began missionary work again in southern Sweden. Within a short time small branches were established, the first being in Skönabäck, Malmöhus, a large estate situated about 30 miles east of Malmö City and in Skurup Kommun.
Growth of the Church
The growth of the church in Sweden has been slow. In the beginning Swedish born missionaries were arrested at times and missionaries from Utah were driven out. New converts suffered persecution at the hands of some of the clergy, civil authorities, and even from neighbors in the communities. Still the Church grew. Members were encouraged to immigrate to Utah from its beginning up until about 1910. During the years 1850 to 1930, 8,545 members emigrated from Sweden. Membership of well established branches would dwindle due to heavy emigration and inactivity. Some branches would be dissolved and need to be reorganized. Others would combine with another nearby branch. The two world wars also affected the membership. Missionaries from the United States were sent back to the United States for the duration of both wars. Some areas lacked leadership and discontinued having public meetings, but through it all the Church has continued to grow. See FSWiki article: Sweden: L.D.S. Emigration
The Church Today
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the year 2002 reached a membership of 8,678 (according to the 2008 Church Almanac) in Sweden. At that time Sweden was composed of 4 stakes Göteborg, Malmö, Stockholm, and Stockholm South and has multiple wards and branches throughout the country. There is one temple in Västerhaninge, just south of Stockholm City.
See FSWiki article: Sweden: Timeline of the L.D.S. Church
L.D.S. Record Sources
- Scandinavian L.D.S. Mission Index
- Records of Members, 1852 - 1951
- Records of deceased members of the Scandinavian Mission up to March 1, 1895.

- Sweden: L.D.S. Conferences, Districts, and Stakes
- Emigration from the Scandinavian Mission, 1852-1866
- Emigration from the Scandinavian Mission, 1867-1881
The L.D.S. records from when the mission opened in 1850 up to about 1870 are known to be incomplete. This is most likely due to the challenges of establishing a non-Lutheran religion at that time. By law the Swedish State Church was the official record keeper of births, marriages, and deaths. Look for your ancestors birth, marriage, or death in the parish records where they resided at the time of the event.

Is This The Best Time To Buy A House Or Condo In Hawaii?
The answer to that question isn't the same for everyone, so let's start with my own personal experience. I purchased my first place, a townhouse on the golf course in Waikele, from one of the biggest developers in Hawaii for what I thought at the time was a lot of money. I had already been in the mortgage business for over five years, so I figured I was a pretty savvy customer. Unfortunately, supply at that time was greater than demand, and the developer continued to build similar condos, townhouses, and single family homes for less and less money over the next few years. In a short period of time my property was worth a whole lot less than my existing mortgage. I was quickly reminded of my Economics 101 class from college.
A lot has changed in Hawaii's real estate landscape since then. I've been telling anyone who will listen to me for the past year or so, that right now is a great time to buy a home. This is not because I'm prognosticating we've hit rock bottom on real estate prices. It's my personal opinion that after the recent mortgage meltdown, it will be 2013 or 2014 before we can turn the corner on that housing market collapse and have regular, sustained, growth in Hawaii real estate values. The reason being, that even though Oahu appears to have made its predictive valuation correction, the neighbor islands are lagging behind significantly in their economic recovery and thus property values have been further affected.
What I am saying is that the actual cost of purchasing a home right now is probably near the bottom or has actually hit the bottom. The difference is that cost is determined by both the price of the home AND the expenses associated with mortgaging that home at the best possible terms and conditions available. Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past few years, you're firmly aware that the process of qualifying for a typical mortgage has become infinitely more cumbersome and restrictive. There's no doubt that further measures are already in place that will only continue to inhibit lending practices moving forward. Additionally, however, and more importantly, mortgage interest rates have recently made a significant move south and are currently at historic lows. Therefore, it's a fair assessment that the costs associated with obtaining a mortgage, including interest rates ,will surely increase as the year goes on.
A balanced market where prices are stable can handle 5 to 6 months of active inventory. Anything less than 5 months typically constitutes a seller's market as there are not enough houses to meet buyer demand. This usually results in price appreciation. Anything more than 6 months constitutes a buyer's market as there are not enough buyers for the number of houses on the market. This usually results in price depreciation. According to a recent Hawaii Association of Realtors (HAR) Housing Supply Overview report, there is currently a 5.5 month supply of inventory in Hawaii. Although trending down quite a bit from last year, this represents a stable and balanced real estate marketplace; which by the way is much healthier than the national average!
Therefore, whether you are interested in moving up to accommodate your growing family, or looking to realize your dream of home ownership, it doesn't take an economics major to understand that right now is likely one of the best possible times we will see in the next ten years or more to purchase a house or condominium in Hawaii. Mann Mortgage continues to serve its community and clients with a wide range of mortgage products, including those with minimal or no down payment options. Please contact me or one of my loan officers if you'd like to determine your best course of action to achieve your goal of home ownership.

Srinagar (Uttarakhand): BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Congress party of destroying the country, and said the "mother-son government" was a perfect example of failure.
"In the past 10 years, the country has been destroyed due to corruption. It is sad to see that the mother-son (Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi) government in Delhi does not get worried about it. They say and believe that such things happen and people will forget them," Modi said said at an election rally here.
The Uttarakhand government and the "mother-son government were perfect examples of failure, the Gujarat chief minister said amid loud cheers.
Attacking Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Modi said, "The home ministry in the mother-son government had said forget about the corruption... people will forget it like the Bofors scam."

Lose your weight the web way!
The more frequently you log on to an interactive weight management website, the more weight you can keep off. That's the conclusion of a study published online.health and fitness Updated: Jul 28, 2010 19:55 IST
The more frequently you log on to an interactive weight management website, the more weight you can keep off.
That's the conclusion of a Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research study published online in the open access Journal of Medical Internet Research.
The study evaluated an Internet-based weight maintenance intervention involving 348 participants. Consistent website users who logged on and recorded their weight at least once a month for two-and-a-half years maintained the most weight loss, the study found.
"Consistency and accountability are essential in any weight maintenance program. The unique part of this intervention was that it was available on the Internet, whenever and wherever people wanted to use it," said study lead author Kristine L. Funk, MS, RD, a researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore.
"This study shows that if people use quality weight management websites consistently, and if they stick with their program, they are more likely to keep their weight off," said study co-author Victor J. Stevens, PhD, co-author and senior investigator at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. "Keeping weight off is even more difficult than losing it in the first place, so the fact that so many people (in the study) were able to maintain a good portion of their weight loss is very encouraging to us."
