In tough times, we continue the search for good, inexpensive wines…
More hits than misses this month.
At over 1.7 million cases per year, Columbia Crest is by far Washington's largest producer. That said, the winery, which is located in Paterson, consistently produces high quality wines that are exceptionally well priced. Ray Einberger has served as winemaker since 2002. This month we sampled wines from two of Columbia Crest's four tiers.
The first Columbia Crest wine is the recently released 2007 H3 Cabernet. This wine was November's Virtual Tasting wine. The H3 label is Columbia Crest's middle-tier. This label, which Columbia Crest took nation-wide last year, is named after the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The 2007 Cabernet is an excellent value Cabernet.
The second wine is the 2007 Two Vines Red Wine Vineyard 10. Two Vines is Columbia Crest's entry-level tier. Vineyard 10, which is located by the Columbia River, is one of Columbia Crest's original estate vineyards. This wine – a big time value wine – is an interesting blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Grenache, and Mourvedre. I was honestly expecting a Cabernet-Merlot blend when I bought this wine, so I was taken completely off-guard on first sip. That said, the wine completely won me over. This may be the under $10 wine of the year. Note that folks looking for a wine with oak and alcohol should look elsewhere.
After spending a good deal of time contemplating how Columbia Crest consistently produces such excellent values, I have come to the only logical conclusion that Einberger has sold his soul to the devil. Fear for your immortal soul while you enjoy two these wines.
Dusted Valley is located in Walla Walla, although the winery recently opened a tasting room in Woodinville. Boomtown is Dusted Valley Vintners' entry-level wine. This is the second wine I have tasted from this label with the Cabernet also providing excellent value.
Corvidae Wine Co. is a new winery from David O'Reilly of Owen Roe. The winery gets its name from a family of birds that includes crows. The Corvidae label focuses on value. The back label of the Corvidae Crowe White Wine, sampled here, reads "To the crowe (sic), her own chick is white" - Old Irish Proverb. This wine is an interesting blend that doesn't entirely come together but shows more than enough to fascinate on the nose and taste. No website unfortunately, just wine here.
Eliseo Silva came to Washington at age fourteen, the youngest of twenty children. Now an adult, he is vineyard manager for Tagaris Winery's vineyards. Frank Roth serves as winemaker. Roth previously worked as cellar master at Barnard Griffin winery. He also makes the wine at Tagaris, Eliseo Silva's parent winery. This wine is interesting but a bit too herbal. Demerits for the website listing the 2005 Merlot rather than the 2007 Merlot sampled below.
Let me know if you have a favorite under fifteener and I'll give it a try.
Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills 2007 $15 Rating: *
A dark, rich color. Nose shows a lot of cedar, spice, dust, and powdered chocolate with layers of black cherry beneath. Taste is round with a smooth entry that builds up to a crescendo on the mid-palate. Fairly dry with a healthy dose of tannins. Overall, the nose is engaging and the taste is beautifully balanced with acid, tannins, and fruit. The finish is the only thing that leaves me a bit wanting. 14.5% alcohol. 30,000 cases produced. Purchased at Pete's Bellevue for $12.
Columbia Crest Two Vines Vineyard 10 Red Wine Washington 2007 $8 Rating: +
Wowzer there are a whole lot of Syrah aromas on this very enticing nose, including blueberries, violets, smoke, and traces of game. Over time the Grenache comes out with strawberry, pepper, and other red fruit. Chocolate also comes in and out. The palate has a lot of fruit with the Grenache and Mourvedre leading the way. Not a whole lot of oak to get in the way, and the alcohol is pleasantly restrained. A nice dose of acidity caps it off. This wine is straight down the fairway. An exceptional value wine. Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Grenache, Mouvedre. 13.5% alcohol. 50,000 cases produced. Recommended. Purchased at Esquin for $8.
Boomtown Syrah Columbia Valley 2007 $15 Rating: +
An attention-getting nose with chocolate, smoked meat, and a very intense fruit aroma. Up front on the palate and then has a smooth descent down. The nose is a knock-out. The taste is a bit thin at times but with a lot of light chocolate notes. Overall, a superb nose with a taste that doesn't live up to it but still provides a lot of value. Recommended. Purchased at Esquin for $15.
Corvidae Wine Co. Crowe White Blend Columbia Valley 2008 $10 Rating: +
A lively, appealing nose with toffee (initially), white grapefruit, pineapple, and lime. As it opens up, the Muscat comes forward with Mandarin oranges drizzled with honey. Crisp and tart on the taste with a lot of apple and lime flavors. Hangs around for a pleasant finish. Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Riesling, and Pinot Gris. 13% alcohol. Recommended. Purchased at Esquin for $9.
Eliseo Silva Merlot Columbia Valley 2007 $10 Rating: .
Brick-colored with some browning on the edges. Initially the nose seems to show a lot of oak and alcohol (I say seems because for a $10 wine I can't believe it has seen too much and the alcohol level is low). This gives way to cherries, vanilla, licorice, a touch of cardamom, and a lot of herbal notes. The taste is loaded with fruit but lacks lift in the mid-palate. Also shows a lot of herbal flavors. 13.5% alcohol. Purchased at Esquin for $10.

The Vineyard 10 for my wife and myself, (and several friends), has become the DD-daily drinker. We pick it up at Fred Meyer for $5.99. Last year the blend was some Zinfandel. Still was good. This one may be right at the upper edge, but I can buy it a some stores for $13-14, and that is Airfield Estates Bombshell Red. it is a blend of Syrah, Merlot, Cab, Sangio, Malbec, and Cab Franc. I compare it favorably with the Columbia Crest and would do well in a blind with much more pricier bottles.
cityroute16, glad to hear you have been enjoying the Vineyard 10. What a great wine for the price! And you're getting it for $6?!? Wowzer! I will seek out the Bombshell Red. Thanks for the suggestion.

The Columbia Crest Cab Sav 3H was a very pleasant surprise. Great wine. Great value.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment.
Chris Says:
Hey Sean, don't know how I missed this but we picked up some 2005 Eliseo Silva Syrah for $6/bottle a while back! A very decent daily drinker Syrah. We got it in the Tagaris Richland tasting room on clearance and got the last 7 bottles they had of this vintage. I'd definitely try more ES wines, but the vintage in important so I'd try to taste before buying. The '03 and '07 ES Syrah's we tasted were way off from the '05.
Chris, thanks for the heads up. Will seek some more of the ES wines out.

Northstar Session to return to Northstar California with new songs, warm clothing
TRUCKEE, Calif. – Indie rock band the Northstar Session from L.A. are back at Northstar California for two free shows, Friday, Feb. 8 and Sunday, Feb. 10. Take a ski break in the Village plaza and listen to a unique blend of rock, folk, harmonies and intelligent songwriting.
The band has new songs to debut this time around. During a break from touring these past couple of months, Northstar began work on songs for an upcoming album. Lake Tahoe Action caught up with singer and guitarist Matt Szlachetka last week as he prepared for another year of touring with his band.
"We've had a blast working on these songs so far. They are all really starting to take shape and we're getting more comfortable with them every rehearsal and are excited to start playing these songs at our shows," Szlachetka said.
The new songs are a work in progress. The band, which also includes Dave Basaraba on keyboards and Kane McGee on drums and percussion, has decided to live and breathe with them for a while before committing them to vinyl.
"Our plan of attack is to keep learning the new songs we've written and integrate them into our 2013 tour schedule," Szlachetka said. "We want to see if anything changes from the initial arrangements we came up with. We're planning on playing these out all year so that way we can be super comfortable with them by the time we record our album at the end of the year."
Northstar has decided to crowd-source their next project, perhaps with the popular website Kickstarter, a site that provides artists with the tools needed to raise funds for creative projects via crowd funding.
"Not sure which method we'll use, but we're definitely going to have some kind of pledge drive set up to help finance the upcoming studio album. Stay tuned," Szlachetka said.
The band will play at 2 p.m. on Friday and Sunday, on the main stage next to the ice rink. Rent some skates and glide (or stumble) across the ice to the sounds of the Northstar Session, or huddle around the fire pits with a cup of cocoa, or maybe something stronger. But take a cue from the band, who has played chilly mid-winter shows outside at Northstar before: dress warmly.
Said Szlachetka, "We're all going to be bundled up like Randy from 'A Christmas Story!' " You should, too, for maximum enjoyment of a band that you won't want to miss.

During the summer, Toyota announced it would lease hundreds of plug-in Prius models by the end of 2009 as a "key first step" in evaluating a version for mass production.
Now Toyota is more specific. Executive vice president Takeshi Uchiyamada told reporters in Tokyo that the company plans to sell a retail plug-in Prius hybrid for the 2011 model year, Bloomberg reports, with the intent to sell "several tens of thousands" annually around the world.
The plug-in Prius will run for about 14 miles on pure electricity generated by a lithium-ion battery, according to the report. After that, the gas engine will kick in and run the car as a hybrid, with an expected overall fuel economy of 134 miles per gallon. Toyota is aiming to price the car "affordably;" currently plug-in conversion kits for the Prius are running at about $10,000.
In addition, Toyota announced plans to sell a short-distance pure electric car in 2012. That would put it in direct competition with Nissan's Leaf EV, GM's Chevy Volt, and smaller boutique startups like Tesla Motors. (Thanks to David Gerzof for sending this in)

Demonstrate the superior protection
The unseen damage that's eating away at your engine
Up to 75% of engine wear happens during warm-up, and that can take as long as 20 minutes.
During that time, the engine oil will not be at optimum operating temperature, and conventional anti-wear technology will not be active.
Castrol MAGNATEC's intelligent molecules defy gravity
As you have seen, most engine wear happens during warm-up. The breakthrough we have achieved is Castrol MAGNATEC's intelligent molecules – molecules that cling to critical parts, providing an extra layer of protection from the start, and throughout warm-up. > NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE Even if you haven't been using Castrol MAGNATEC, it's worth making the change…
Instant protection from the moment you start
Engine protection we can prove
Up to 15x smoother
SEE the difference
The image shows two engine test parts from two identical engines. On the left, clear evidence of scratches can be seen. Compare that to the one on the right that was protected by Castrol MAGNATEC intelligent molecules. It is much smoother, with very few signs of wear.
HEAR the difference
We analysed the sound of critical engine parts with and without protection from Castrol MAGNATEC intelligent molecules. The result was a more than 1.5 dBA difference in sound pressure level in rig testing.

Watching this video by ReiKo, you have to wonder if the people who made Halo 4 intended for players to be able to pull off some of the insane trick-jumps that they do. The spacing is just right, the trajectories lead perfectly from point to point… maybe they planned it this way?
Hard to say. But that doesn't make this video any less fun or well-put-together.

Robbers ambush Saudi prince's convoy in Paris
PARIS (AP) — Armed robbers ambushed a car in a Saudi prince's diplomatic convoy on its way to a Paris airport commonly used for private jets, raiding the Mercedes for valuables then torching and abandoning the vehicle, police and prosecutors said Monday.
Five to eight assailants flashed handguns but fired no shots in the Sunday night attack, the Paris prosecutor's office said. No injuries or arrests were reported.
Rocco Contento of the SGP Paris police union said on BFM television that the car had 250,000 euros in cash and official embassy documents, and that the assailants were well-informed about the car's itinerary.
The Paris prosecutor's office said the Mercedes carried "things of value," but would not confirm the theft of cash or documents.
The car, with a driver and two passengers, was heading for Paris' Le Bourget airport to handle paperwork for the departing prince, according to the prosecutor's office. Le Bourget is often used for high-level visitors.
The Saudi Embassy in France said in a statement that the hijacked vehicle had German license plates and had been rented by a Saudi national who had his belongings in the car and was on his way to the airport. The driver was forced to pull over, and the car was stolen with the luggage inside, said the statement, carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
French officials refused to name those in the car or the prince, who has since left the country for an unidentified destination. Members of the Saudi royal family often come to Paris for diplomatic or business visits.
The burned shell of the stolen car was later found near the attack site in northern Paris along with another car, apparently belonging to the assailants, according to the prosecutor's office.
The French Foreign Ministry called the attack, coming at the height of tourist season in the French capital, "unacceptable." An investigation was opened for armed robbery in an organized gang.

Photographer's Note
For someone who lives in what is affectionately known as the dry country, I continue to marvel at the north east part of Namibia where the landscape contrasts so dramatically with the rest of the country.
This shot combines two aspect of the area that remain fixed in my mind; the lushness of the vegetation and the flooded rivers and pools of water. Aside from that the colours blue and green speak to me of peacefulness and tranquillity which was exactly my experience in this remote location

Hi Rosemary,
a picturesque atmosphere with beautiful lights, the composition is spectacular, great details and POV,
snunney (130965) 2014-03-31 4:56
Hello Rosemary,
A very apt title for such a beautiful image. Well composed to give the scene depth and benefiting from lovely light and colours. You are right about the song, comes from a musical, Gigi I think.
Kamilutka (8107) 2014-03-31 5:06
Hello Rosemary,
indeed the greenery in your picture looks lush and I wouldn't associate Namibia with this image at all. Simple scene but very nicely presented with the tall grass being reflected in the water for enhanced effect. I also like the second plan, which seems to be like a big grassland with single tree in the middle.
Very lovely colors and well given contrast add to this photo.
Well done and TFS!
dta (95522) 2014-03-31 5:10
hello Rosemary ,
It is not so easy to take good pictures in such places . You've here perfectly composed , with a perfect balance between all the elements : bushes , trees , sky , and the splendid reflections .

Bonjour Rosemary
J'aime beaucoup le point de vue tr�s bas, presque � la surface de l'eau qui donne de l'ampleur aux plantes aquatiques.. Par contre ,il faudrait une point focal quelconque pour arrimer le tout.
dip (23892) 2014-03-31 6:00
Hello Rosemary,
actually seems a bit unusual as the most photos of Namibia, your photo is wonderful with amazing colors,good sharpness and great lighting,
Kielia (24077) 2014-03-31 6:11
Hi Rosemary,
you are presenting a very well composed impression of this interesting piece of nature. Excellent management of the light and a very good perspective. The moody colors make the image very attractive. My compliments!
Warm regards
Subhogen (4067) 2014-03-31 6:22
Hello Rosemary,
Perfect choice of title. The fantastic contrast between the blue and the green is what makes this image so attractive. The layer of marsh grass is nicely sandwiched and contrasts so well with the layers of blue.
A beautiful nature shot, thanks for sharing.

Hi Rosemary,
Superb landscape photo, nice colors, excellent light & clarity, very nice arrangement, very good viewpoint. The beautiful sky and excellent reflections add nice toning to the scene.
Very well done.
Wish you a nice week.
dkmurphys (77034) 2014-03-31 7:31
Hi Rosemary,
Superb colors in this wild scene. I like the simple pov, lovely.
Have a good week ahead.
holmertz (83300) 2014-03-31 8:39
Hello Rosemary,
For most members of TE Namibia is probably best known for its spectacular sanddunes and various red tones, so this picture should represent a very unknown part of the country. I have seen somewhat similar areas in South Sudan, so if the resemblances go further you should watch out for crocodiles in these waters. The green tones of the vegetation are really stunning and the blue areas are equally impressive. The single tree is another nice feature, but I guess it's above all the clarity and sharpness that makes this photo outstanding.
Kind regards,
Didi (61569) 2014-03-31 8:52
Hi Rosemary
Different view in opposite of desert
Nice foreground of this pound the place reminds me a view in Center of France
Well done
Kind regards
PaulVDV (49024) 2014-03-31 10:58
Hello Rosemary,
No Namibian deserts this time ... but a very watery and lush green area.
I'm not sure if you took this picture from in a boat. Anyway, your low POV gives an impression of being enclosed by the waterplants. Unlike in the vast desert and canyon landscapes of Namibia, you cannot have a distant view here. On the other hand, these wetlands must be the home of a lot of animals. They are well able to hide there and they will find probably a lot of food.
As you wrote, wonderful in blue and green!
Best regards, Paul

Hi Rosemary, very good photograph of this beautiful and interesting composition to show the beautiful lushness of the place, very well captured in this beautiful image with good sharpness, depth, light and color. Very good and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good evening and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.

Hi Rosemary
This shot makes me think of the garden of Eden. the calm blue water, the magnificent vegetation, and the many many colors throughout the whole scene. I love how you composed the tree furthest away too, it looks like its peeping up like a meercat :)
Wonderful place, so full of life. It also makes me wonder what life is beneath the surface of that calm water!
all the best
carlo62 (81029) 2014-03-31 14:29
Ciao Rosemary
c'� un bel contrasto tra le foto del deserto e questo paesaggio, qui dominano il blu e il verde, duplicati dal riflesso aumentano la loro potenza visiva.
Bella luce e splendidi colori, spesso dalle cose semplici otteniamo i risultati migliori.
Royaldevon (64322) 2014-03-31 16:15
Hello Rosemary,
It is such an unusual shot from you, taken in Namibia.
It is so green and blue and delightful for that!
The grass is wonderfully lush and looks even better with those amazing reflections.
Your low pov helps to create a fine sense of depth, from the tall grasses to the single tree.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Rosemary
two colours that always seem to captivate when brought together in an image like this. Simple Earthly elements but ones that I think us humans will never tire off, unless global warming forces us all to survive as City dwellers! Beautiful imagery!

Hi Rosemary
Beauty in seclusion! A spectacular nature wonder unfold before you eyes, a high valuable oasis within the arid land and nothing can take away the stunning-ness of the spectacle in glorious afternoon light. Very impressive view full of depth, the best fresh natural colors rendition and delicate details along with good touch of the vital solid foreground reflections. I adore a whole lot of this appealing shot which sets of the tranquil picture so handsomely and your best pp has definitely enhanced the image really well. A top quality composition and Gorgeous :) Congrats
Best regards

Hi Rosemary,
Amazing and as you say one would not expect this lush landscape in Namibia. Wonderful colours especially against the gorgeous blue sky with it low clouds.
Great low Pov, skimming the water, well managed, Tfs.
Cheers, Iain.

Hello Rosemary
Lovely scene. Often TE offers images of exotic, remote, even alien locations, that make me feel the differences between places; at other times I'm struck by a surprising familiarity. Who would guess that Mamili National Park in Namibia could look remarkably like a reed bed in the Norfolk Broads??

Howdy Rosemary,
Fine Mamili National Park scene with the healthy bamboo surrounding the blue waterway with floating clouds. I expect an alligator to arrive anytime?
Thanks for sharing,

Hello Rosemary,
Beautiful lush green vegetation and a lively painterly sky. I like how you have composed and created a very successful image without having any main subject matter - it gives a great sense of the place.
Best wishes,

Hi Rosemary
Its hard for me to imagine living in such a small country like Namibia :)
I live in the 2nd largest country in the world, and we have SOOOO many contrasting landscapes!
It cost's me $1500-$1800 to fly from coast to coast in our own country! yikes, sometimes i think Canada is too big!
How far is this area of land from the opposite corner in Namibia? Must be nice to travel in Namibia :)
Or perhaps i'm way off, who knows!
Its very hard to travel within Canada, its cheaper for me to fly to England than it is to Eastern Canada...go figure!
and you're so right, this looks much different than so many other landscapes we see in Namibia.
the water here in your photo looks so still, almost like a sheet of glass.
the photo is very bright and luminous, has a sheen and shine to it thats very attractive. nice shot!
see you around

Hi Rosemary!
Really beautiful landscape and a good quality shot! I guess these canes are very similar to the ones we have here. It's a beautiful composition, you placed the tree very well. I like the reflections and the light is perfect.

Number: 105-8
Date: March 2, 1998
On February 25,1998, the House passed by a vote of 241-176, H.R. 1544. the Federal Agency Compliance Act. The bill requires agencies, in most cases, to follow appellate court rulings when administering policies or regulations and to stop adopting non-acquiescence policies. The bill has been forwarded to the Senate for consideration.
Companion legislation in the Senate, S. 1166, the Federal Agency Compliance Act, was introduced by Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell on September 11, 1997, and referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary. No action has been taken on the bill by the Committee.
As passed by the House, H.R. 1544 contains the following provisions of interest:
- The bill would require all federal agencies in administering a statute, rule, regulation, program or policy within a judicial circuit adhere to precedents established by the United States courts of appeals for that circuit. All employees of an agency, including administrative law judges, are required to adhere to such precedents.
- Agencies are not required to adhere to such precedents if it is not certain whether the administration of the statute, rule, regulation or policy will be subject to review by the court of appeals for that circuit or another circuit; if the government did not seek further review of case because the government was not a party to the suit or because the suit was substantially favorable to the government; or if it is reasonable to question the continued validity of the precedent because of subsequent decision of that court of appeals or of the United States Supreme Court, because of a subsequent change in statute or regulation, or any other subsequent change in public policy or circumstance on which the precedent was based.
- In addition, the bill would require that the officers of any agency of the United States shall ensure that the conduct of litigation unnecessarily repetitive litigation on questions of law consistently resolved against the position of the United States in precedents established in the courts of appeals for three or more judicial circuits. The bill sets out factors to be considered in determining whether litigation is unnecessarily repetitive.

My dad was a charcoal guy. He was known for his London Broil which he grilled up on special occasions.
Think, the dads of the �Mad Men� era and you�ve got my dad. Sipping his Tom Collins, he�d watch over our dinner getting the char just right and then he�d bring it into the kitchen where the sound of his electric knife slicing it up meat signaled it was time to eat.
This was back before the days of fancy marinades and rubs and long before entire cookbooks were written about cookbooks. His secret? He�d open a bottle of French dressing and marinate the meat all day in the refrigerator. While the charcoal was getting to the perfect shade of gray, he�d get the slab out to warm up to room temperature and then making it look so easy, he�d grill it to perfection.
To this day, his London broil is the most tender I�ve ever eaten.
On Sunday, I�ll be doing grill duty and I�m thinking we�ll go 60�s retro with London Broil , a baked potato and a wedge salad. And I�ll don one of those retro grilling aprons and probably toast Dad with one of those cocktails from a shaker he and mom enjoyed.
For some grilling inspiration, I cam across these tips from Pike�s Nursery.
1. Be prepared and organized. First check your grill. Do you have enough propane? Is there really enough charcoal in the bag? Do you have the marinade or rub you want to use? Are your grilling tools handy and clean? If you�re pulling a steak from the freezer let it thaw in the fridge ahead of time so it will be ready to go. Having to thaw it in the microwave at the last minute can make the piece of meat tough. Think about it � you�re nuking it and then cooking it on a hot grill.
2. Get the ratio right. For you charcoal users out there, getting the amount of charcoal correct can be a challenge. I always seem to get it wrong � too much or usually too little. The experts at Pike recommend you use enough to form a bed of glowing coals three inches larger on all sides than the surface area of the food you�re planning to cook.
3. Preheat the grill. To get the sear on the meat just right, your grill has to be the correct temperature. Here�s something I never knew: for those cool grill marks, the temp must be at least 500 degrees.
4. Clean it twice. The first time to clean the grate comes once you�ve pre-heated the grill. Then after you�ve finished cooking, clean off that food debris. Use a heavy duty metal spatula and long handled-wire brush. Don�t even be tempted that kitchen spatula or other regular utensils.
5. Grease the grate. Here�s a neat trick I learned from the folks at Pike � grab a long pair of tongs and rub the grate evenly with a folded paper towel soaked in oil. You want to pre-treat the grate right before placing the meat on top. A little grease before you grill is going to make cleanup a lot easier.
6. It�s all about timing. Bastes and marinades made from oil and vinegar, citrus or yogurt can be brushed on the meat while cooking. For sugar-based barbecue sauce, apply toward the end of the cooking time to keep the sauce from burning.
7. Leaving the stabbing to those Shakespeare plays! Sure we�re all tempted to puncture that piece of meat with one of those supersized grilling forks but don�t do it. When flipping, use grill appropriate tongs or spatula.
8. It�s a coverup . This is for larger cuts of meat and poultry such as a whole chicken or prime rib and when you are not cooking the meat directly over the flames. And patience is a must. Every time you lift the lid, you add 5 to 10 minutes to the overall cooking time.
9. Sit Still. This lets the meat juices settle. When cooking the juices are driven to the center of a roast or steak by the heat. By letting the meat sit the juices are returning to the surface.
10. Stay on duty. You signed up for it, so stick with it. Sure it�s easy to be distracted but for safety and for the best possible grill job, stay with it. And in honor of my Dad, enjoy that Tom Collins. Here�s the recipe.
2 oz gin
1 oz . lemon juice
1 tsp. superfine sugar
3 oz. club soda
1 marashino cherry
1 slice orange
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin, lemon juice, and sugar. Shake well. Strain into a collins glass almost filled with ice cubes. Add the club soda. Stir and garnish with the cherry and the orange slice.

Afghans deported from Europe face death, torture
Afghans deported from Europe face death, torture
KABUL (Pajhwok): A global human rights watchdog on Thursday assailed European governments for putting thousands of Afghans in harm's way by forcibly returning them to their homeland.
The Afghans deported from European countries were at serious risk of torture, kidnapping, death and other human rights abuses, Amnesty International said in a new report.
At a time when civilian casualties in Afghanistan are at their highest levels, the report said, European governments were forcing increasing numbers of asylum-seekers back to the dangers from which they fled.
The new report, Forced Back to Danger: Asylum-Seekers Returned from Europe to Afghanistan, details harrowing cases of the individuals who were returned from Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany.
It added the deported Afghans risked being killed, injured in bomb attacks, or left to live in constant fear of being persecuted for their sexual orientation or conversion to Christianity.
Anna Shea, Amnesty International's researcher on refugee and migrant rights, was quoted as saying: "In their determination to increase the number of deportations, European governments are implementing a policy that is reckless and unlawful.
"Wilfully blind to the evidence that violence is at a record high and no part of Afghanistan is safe, they are putting people at risk of torture, kidnapping, death and other horrors," Anna Shea added.
The deportees include unaccompanied children and young adults, who were children at the time when they arrived in Europe. Several people interviewed by Amnesty International were sent to parts of Afghanistan they had never known.
Horia Mosadiq, AI's Afghanistan researcher, said: "These returns brazenly violate international law and must stop immediately. The same European countries that once pledged support for a better future for Afghans are now crushing their hopes and abandoning them to a country that has become even more dangerous since they fled."
EU statistics show between 2015 and 2016, the number of Afghans returned by European countries nearly tripled: from 3,290 to 9,460. The returns correspond to a marked fall in recognition of asylum applications, from 68% in September 2015 to 33% in December 2016.
At the same time, the numbers of civilian casualties have risen. In 2016, 11,418 people were killed or injured. Attacks on civilians took place in every part of the country and most of them were carried out by armed groups, including the Taliban and Islamic State.
In the first six months of the current, UNAMA documented 5,243 civilian casualties. On 31 May, in one of the largest attacks in Kabul's history, more than 150 people were killed and twice as many injured.
Amnesty International researchers interviewed several families who hauntingly described their ordeals after being forcibly returned from European countries, losing loved ones, narrowly surviving attacks on civilians, and living in fear of persecution in a country they hardly know.
Sadeqa (assumed name) and her family fled Afghanistan in 2015 after her husband Hadi was kidnapped, beaten and released in return for a ransom. Hazarding a months-long journey, they arrived in Norway with hopes of finding a safe future.
The Norwegian authorities denied their asylum claim and gave them a choice between being detained before being deported or being given EUR 10,700 to return voluntarily.
Months after returning to Afghanistan, Sadeqa's husband disappeared. Days passed without any knowledge of his whereabouts. Hadi had been killed. Sadeqa believed his kidnappers murdered him. She fears visiting his grave.
The Farhadi family were also forcibly returned from Norway, in October 2016. The following month they were near the Baqir-ul-Uloom mosque in Kabul when it was bombed, killing at least 27 people. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the armed group calling itself Islamic State.
Farid (not his real name) fled Afghanistan with his family when he was a child. They made their way to Iran before reaching Norway, where he converted to Christianity. In May 2017, he was deported to Kabul.
Farid had no memories of Afghanistan. Now, he lives in fear of persecution, in a country where armed groups including the Taliban have targeted people for converting to a different faith from Islam.
"I am scared," he told Amnesty International. "I don't know anything about Afghanistan. Where will I go? I don't have funds to live alone and I can't live with relatives because they will see that I don't pray."
Azad (assumed name), who grew up in Iran, fled to the Netherlands with his brother. Returned to Afghanistan in May 2017, he identifies as gay and is fearful that his sexual orientation will be discovered by people who wish him harm.
He was so frightened of being returned, he attempted to commit suicide prior to his deportation. "I try to be a man here. I'm losing my mind. I am fearing a lot at night – I am really scared," he told Amnesty International.

The plot of "Hanna" can be summed up as "The Professional" meets "The Bourne Identity," so it goes without saying that hopes are high, and the new trailer is doing notion to dispel such hope.
The film stars Saoirse Ronan as a girl trained by her father, played by Eric Bana, to be a deadly killing machine. Lord knows she tries to assimilate to civilian life, but when the government comes hunting for her, she has no choice but to fight fire with fire.
"Hanna" opens April 8, 2011

Oakmark Global Select is a non-diversified portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks. Typically the fund holds about 20 individual securities, with large-cap companies eligible for investment.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return includes change in share prices and, in each case, includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. The investment return and principal value vary so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
Because the Oakmark Global Select Fund is non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on the Fund's total return, and may make the Fund's returns more volatile than a more diversified fund.
Investing in foreign securities presents risks that in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.
The MSCI World Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the global equity market performance of developed markets.

According to Morningstar, the Morningstar Manager of the Year award is presented to portfolio managers based on the managers' (i) "ability to generate exceptional returns;" (ii) "willingness to align their interests with shareholders;" and (iii) "courage to stay with their strategies in order to produce superior risk-adjusted returns in the end."
According to Morningstar, the Fund Manager of the Decade award, which is a new award from Morningstar, recognizes fund managers who have achieved superior risk-adjusted results over the past 10 years and have an established record of serving shareholders well. While the awards focus on performance over the past decade, Morningstar takes into consideration other factors, including the fund manager's strategy, approach to risk, size of the fund, and stewardship. Both individual fund managers and management teams are eligible, and being a previous winner of the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year award isn't a prerequisite. Morningstar's fund analysts select the Fund Manager of the Decade award winners based on Morningstar's proprietary research and in-depth evaluation.

The annual rate of return of an investment paid in dividends or interest, expressed as a percentage. A snapshot of a fund's interest and dividend income, yield is expressed as a percentage of a fund's net asset value, is based on income earned over a certain time period and is annualized, or projected, for the coming year.
Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of bond prices or a bond portfolio to interest rate movements. Stated in years, duration is a weighted measure of the length of time the bond will pay out. Investors use duration to measure the volatility of the bond or a bond portfolio. The shorter the duration (and the less time an investor needs to wait to receive the bond's payments), the less the bond's price will rise or fall in value when interest rates change.
For example, a 3-year duration means a bond will decrease in value by 3% if interest rates rise one percent, or increase in value by 3% if interest rates fall one percent. Duration is affected by maturity, the bond's coupon, and the time interval between payments.
The Beta shown is for the Investor Share Class. Beta is a measure of the magnitude of a portfolio's past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market index). The market, or index, is assigned a beta of 1.00. A portfolio with a beta of greater than 1 would generally see its share price rise or fall by more than the market, while a portfolio with a beta of less than 1 would have less share price volatility than the market. For Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, beta is measured against the S&P 500 Index. The beta presented is since the inception of each Fund with the exception of The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, which shows 10-year beta versus the benchmark.
The Standard Deviation shown is for the Investor Share Class. Standard Deviation is a measure of the degree to which a fund's return varies from its previous returns, or from the average of all similar funds. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the likelihood (and risk) that a security's performance will fluctuate from the average return. The standard deviation presented is since the inception of the Fund.
An indication of trading activity, it is the percentage of all equity securities owned by a given mutual fund which were sold in the last year. In practical terms, a turnover of 100%, for example, is the percentage of the Fund's portfolio holdings that have changed over the past year.

About 500 protesters broke into the grounds of Libya's parliament building on Sunday to demand an end to violence in Bani Walid, a former stronghold of late Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi that is being shelled by militiamen from a rival town.
Militias, many from Misrata and aligned with the Libyan Ministry of Defense, have been shelling the hilltop town of 70,000 people for several days. State news agency LANA said on Sunday that 22 people had been killed and 200 wounded in the fighting.
"We are here to demand the government find a peaceful solution for the tribal war that is happening in Bani Walid," protester Nasser Ehdein said.
Libya's new rulers have held elections, but have struggled to impose their authority on a country awash with weapons a year after Qaddafi was killed and the fighting in Bani Walid underscored how tenuous their control remains.
In a country where rumors abound, there were also conflicting reports over the weekend about the fate of Qaddafi's son Khamis, and that of the late autocrat's former spokesman.
In Tripoli, an unarmed group of male and female protesters forced their way past security guards at the gates of the grounds of the parliament buildings, chanting: "There is no God but God, and [Libyan] President [Mohammed] Magarief is God's enemy."
Security forces fired rounds into the air as they held their positions at the doors of the building, while elected members of the General National Congress met inside.
Ehdein said most of the protesters were residents of Tripoli who had family in or hailed from Bani Walid. This is the second time protesters have broken into the grounds of the assembly since it took power in the summer.
The first time was on Oct. 4, when a group of protesters who believed their town was underrepresented in a proposed Libyan government stormed the assembly as it prepared to scrutinize the prime minister-elect's nominations.
In the port city of Benghazi, anger boiled over on Sunday night when about 400 unarmed, but angry protesters stormed the grounds of private Libyan satellite channel Libya al-Ahrar.
The protesters demanded that the channel air photographic evidence that Qaddafi's son Khamis had been killed in battle. Libyan officials had announced he had been killed in fighting in Bani Walid, but that has not been confirmed.
Demonstrators said they were furious over what they deemed a false rumor, saying it had helped fuel violence in Bani Walid and stir up tribal enmity.
Bani Walid was one of the towns that remained loyal to Qaddafi the longest. It remains isolated from the rest of Libya and former rebels say there are still pockets of support for the old government there.
In Bani Walid itself, 140km south of Tripoli, militia leader Abdelkarim Ghomaid said fighting was in full swing.
"The shelling is coming from all sides," he said by telephone.
A Bani Walid resident said by telephone: "Fighting is continuing today. There is smoke rising over certain parts of the city."
Outside Bani Walid, hundreds of vehicles lined up in the village of Weshtata, 80km from Tripoli, waiting to be checked by government forces as families fled the fighting.
"We are escaping the danger of the rockets, the shrapnel and the deaths inside. There hasn't been electricity for days," said one man with his family in a pick-up truck.
A feud between Misrata and Bani Walid was inflamed by the death of rebel Omran Shaban after he was detained for two months in Bani Walid. Shaban, from Misrata, was the man who found Qaddafi hiding in a drain pipe in Sirte on Oct. 20 last year. Libya's congress ordered the defense and interior ministries to find those responsible for abducting Shaban and suspected of torturing him. It gave Bani Walid a deadline to hand them over.

What to do if you are raped
- Go to a safe place.
- If you want to report the crime, notify the police immediately. Reporting the crime can help you regain a sense of personal power and control.
- Call a friend, a family member, or someone else you trust who can be with you and give you support.
- Preserve all physical evidence of the assault. Do not shower, bathe, douche, eat, drink, wash your hands, or brush your teeth until after you have had a medical examination. Save all of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault. Place each item of clothing in a separate paper bag. Do not use plastic bags. Do not clean or disturb anything in the area where the assault occurred.
- Get medical care as soon as possible. Go to a hospital emergency department or a specialized forensic clinic that provides treatment for sexual assault victims. Even if you think that you do not have any physical injuries, you should still have a medical examination and discuss with a health care provider the risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections and the possibility of pregnancy resulting from the sexual assault. Having a medical exam is also a way for you to preserve physical evidence of a sexual assault.
- If you suspect that you may have been given a "rape drug," ask the hospital or clinic where you receive medical care to take a urine sample. Drugs, such as Rohypnol and GHB, are more likely to be detected in urine than in blood.
- Write down as much as you can remember about the circumstances of the assault, including a description of the assailant.
- Get information whenever you have questions or concerns. After a sexual assault, you have a lot of choices and decisions to make - e.g., about getting medical care, making a police report, and telling other people. You may have concerns about the impact of the assault and the reactions of friends and family members. You can get information by calling a rape crisis center, a hotline, or other victim assistance agencies.
- Talk with a counselor who is trained to assist rape victims. Counseling can help you learn how to cope with the emotional and physical impacts of the assault. You can find a counselor by contacting a local rape crisis center, a hotline, a counseling service, other victim assistance agencies, or RAINN. RAINN is a national victim assistance organization, at 1-800-656-HOPE. RAINN will connect you to a rape crisis center in your area. The Houston Area Women's Center also has a sexual assault hotline at (713)528-7273. Fort Bent County Women's Center also has a crisis hotline at (281)342-HELP.

A moment in Philmusic.com's History: The site domain was registered in December 1996. We are at most, probably one of the longest running Philippine websites around!
If youll be performing as a one man band and will record the tracks one after another, a 4 input interface will be the minimum for the drumset mics. If it will be simultaneously, at least 8. Check focusrite, alesis, and presonus brands. You can do purchase a sole interface, or what they call now as mixerface- a mixer with USB/firewire connection capability.
Well I have an electronic drum kit (Medeli dd315) and an amp to accompany that and I'll record each track separately, so... there.
Interface: focusrite scarlett 2i4Microphone : audio technica at2020DAW: reaperMonitors: "your choice"Eto laban na to for overdub recording.
how much approx damage nito and where'd you get them? Thanks!
10,500 yung 2i4Mga 8-9k yung audio technica mic.Ako kasi gamit ko eh yung focusrite 2i2 studio (included yung focusrite cm-25 mic.tsaka headphone)Tapos midi map nalang yung drums.)Sinuggest ko yung 2i4 kasi alam ko may midi in/out yan kung yun kailangan mo. JB music bro, alam ko sa channel website meron din.
Hmmm, not bad prices I guess.But I'll save up for em first. I do have a Zoom Q2HD at home, will that suffice temporarily for recording?
Video recorder yun ba? For proper recordings to be "mixed" mas maganda may audio interface talaga. Ganito kasi workflow ko para magka idea ka.-Program drums, through midi-mapping. (Software lang gamit ko, wala ako enough mic and room to record drums)-record guitar and bass plugged into an interface (gumagamit nalang ako ng amp and cab simulation softwares like lepou)-record vocals (mic plugged thorugh interface scarlett 2i2)- start mixing
^Pwede naman, pero pwede ba siya gamitin as mic lang? Halimbawa sa DAW while recording tracks siya ang input source mo? Kung hindi kasi, at irerecord mo guitars, bass etc. through that mic, tapos transfer to pc, then to DAW then align to sync medyo matrabaho. Pero if you can make it work then pwede of course.
kailangan ba sobrang lakas ng amp volume pag magrerecord ng guitars sa SM57?
oo medyo kailangan
panong recording ng ganto pao? mic (audix i5 or sm57 choices ko) -> scarlet solo -> logic pro... di ko alam anong plugins gagamitin ko nyahaha
oo medyo https://soundcloud.com/mjsmanahan36/sets/maschalismos-3-songs-sethttps://soundcloud.com/mjsmanahan36/sets/10-drafts-without-vocalswww.facebook.com/maschalismos

We wear certain watches for several reasons, and most of the reasons are more complicated than simply, "I need to know a time." Today, it became something more than to simply organize and control life rhythm but to symbolize a sense of good taste and perhaps, affluence. Although, versatility has to do with some part, some wear to reflect their status and achievements in life while others wear as an additional touch of aesthetics. Getting ourselves wristwatches from a "big brand" has never been in our bucket lists since it contradicted from our ideology, "What's the point of buying a luxury watch when they all do the same thing?" Yes, we admit that it would be somewhat nice to stare at something "well known" wrapped around our wrists, but the fact is that, needless to say, there are countless of other great options of luxury watches with price, quality, and style that cannot be ignored. This Volare watch with unique conic shape designed by Mario Nobile has to be our most favorite watch from Klasse 14 collection. The watch is called Volare, which means "Fly" as Mr. Nobile feels truly free when he looks up into the sky and the most appealing symbol of freedom and liberty in nature is the majestic eagle. Beautiful story behind a magnificent piece, this we call it a true luxury timepiece. (Use our code "q2hans" for 12% off your purchase at Klasee14)

Blush Me and You
To be honest, it's kinda ironic how I'm posing head shots for cosmetics when I'm nowhere near a "makeup guru" (but secretly head-over-heels for cosmetics) such as Michelle phan and many other amazingly talented makeup artists out there. Plus, we were neither near nor interested in makeup during entire high school years while others our age seemed so flawless with their eyebrows on fleek and lips plumed with glosses. Yes, we were the geek type. But, we gradually found interest in makeup by the time we entered university in LA, and the very first eye shadows we received as a gift from our parents were from Etude House. What we love and still love the most about this brand is that it's light to skin yet has such vibrant pigment which is so suitable for students. It truly feels as if I'm painting my face but not "masking" my face (you get it?).
Well here we created 3 transitional looks which you can watch the tutorial video at our YouTube channel as well. I'll have to say, we had so much fun working on this project! Perhaps, we should create makeup videos often. You agree?

A Day with Elma
Bralette - Elma Shop
Before we even knew how to spell bralette correctly, we often asked ourselves why would anyone bother to wear bralette. At that time, bralette simply seemed impractical for daily wear since most of them do not offer as much coverage as regular cup bras. Perhaps due to the way we were raised, having "nipples" picking through a garment seemed somewhat inappropriate. But now we're at that stage of our life where we can't live without comfortable bralette such as this one I'm wearing from Elma Shop. We mostly appreciate the fun we get to have by wearing bralette with different types of fabrics, notions and unique constructions. It's the combination of functionality and aesthetics that drive us to keep on wearing them. And honestly, Elma's handmade lingerie never fails to impress us every single time.

Impressive First Impressions
Since photographing inside the Boardman Tree Farm in Oregon is trespassing, gaining access through the proper channels guarantees the ability to romp around most anywhere on the plantation.
Signing a release the night before we were to shoot gave us the opportunity to catch the light right before sunset. Having never been to the farm, this was an impressive first impression of an absolutely mind-boggling place.
Boardman Row
Walking between the rows of trees and stumbling out onto this road on the Boardman Tree Farm was quite a treat. The row of orange yellow poplar leaves was mesmerizing.
Fortunate Reno
Playing with a color treatment, initially processed as a black and white, on one of my favorite images I've ever shot. The scene has been given a brand new feel, indicative of a subdued style I've been trying out on my recent work.
Captured on a cold, foggy April morning in Ft. Reno Oklahoma, 2013. A great moment when every element falls beautifully into place, a moment I will never forget.
The Bigger They Are
Looking up as the Fall foliage canopy catches daylight in the Boardman Tree Farm in Oregon.
Early Matinee Show at the Hoh
A great Autumn scene amidst the visual chaos of the Hoh Rainforest on a chilly morning.
Lifting the Forlorn
When you think "rainforest", images of deep verdant greens are conjured up. Even a google image search will present you with lush, emerald carpets of moss, lichen and leaves. It's not often we associate the colors of Fall in this type of environment. However on the Olympic Peninsula, the magical and mystic Hoh Rainforest, one of the largest of the temperate type shows pockets of change at the beginning of Autumn. Many of the green leaves blanket the forest floor in shades of orange and yellow. Early morning light pierces the thinning canopy and enhances the warm palette, seemingly setting it ablaze. Strangely enough, the scent of rain and moisture still lingers in the air, unlike the familiar crisp and for some reason, slightly acrid smell of Fall.
Lone Pine
Traipsing around Paradise in Mt. Rainier on a foggy afternoon, where every turn looks like the edge of the world. When nature provides you the frame, you just have to put the picture in it.
From the Poplar Trees
As much time as I spend looking up, looking down merits just as captivating of a scene to witness. I thought I'd noodle around on google and find a cheesy poplar poem to fit with this image, yet I quickly lost interest.
It's too easy to use someone else's words to convey a feeling, but they all felt like, well, someone else's words. This is my image and not someone else's, so I figure I might as well pair it with my own words. So here's a stab at poetry, by me.
As the poplars stand tall
in a gentle breeze they sway
With the fairest of falls
their leaves will soon give way
Just beneath my feet
lies a quiet blanket of browns
Now a yellow treat
does make the brightest of sounds
Since images are usually only triggering a visual sensation, I figured I would invite some of the other senses to the party. You're invited too, just don't hover over the cheese dip, you can share.
Fall Forest
From an Autumn trip to Lower Lewis Falls. After I spent a couple hours working the water, I spent the rest of my time exploring the forest and enjoying the overcast sky and lingering fog. Made for an eery but peaceful morning.
The Boardman Ballad
It's apparent that the hand of man is very much in play when seeing the Boardman Tree Farm. 25,000 acres of systematically planted and maintained trees line the grounds, each tree being very similar to the next. This can be visually disorienting when driving down the rows and rows and seeing this weird three point perspective play tricks on your mind. At the same time, the sheer scale and grandeur of this place is astounding. Having spent an entire day, from sunup to sundown, we were able to witness so many changes to the landscape as the light shifted - a welcome surprise in such a static location. I ran down a mental check list of images I was hoping to capture because you can find yourself shooting much of the same thing over and over again.
In an attempt to actually create more visual chaos in a place that was so very ordered, it simply takes a shift in perspective. Standing at an angle without a clear cut path or row in your sights, begins to gather the trees together in a sort of jumbled mess that when shot with a telephoto lens, compresses the scene into a rhythmic pattern. I placed a younger tree in the image to fragment the pattern and to provide a reference point. Although man has greatly affected this landscape, nature still knows who's boss.
Intertwined Pine
As much as I love chasing great light and looking for grand scenes, it often limits my shooting times and makes me feel stagnant in the process. There's almost a set recipe and the flavor can become bland over time.
That said, I went out yesterday with the intention of trying out something new for me, in-camera double exposures. I've seen this technique done with portraiture, juxtaposing the subject with an aspect of nature, which creates an earthy and surreal effect. Using that same process I had an idea of balancing the evergreen pines up here with the surroundings of the Fall color. With a little bit of foresight, technical know-how, playfulness and luck, I was able to come up with some fun scenes, all of which were carried out completely in camera. The exercise is a great way to get off a tripod, and really explore the area. I would look for larger, wider scenes as the subject and then immediately lurk around for patches of color to fill in the dark areas on my first exposure.
Intertwined Pine II
Tis' Nobler
This grove of Noble Fir was planted near Mount Saint Helens in 1988. The uniform structure of their trunks were mesmerizing and almost disorienting to look at. Even though there are no straight lines in nature, these comes pretty close.
Cade's Cove Cadence
From a Fall excursion to the Smokies in 2010, this image depicts not only how I've grown in my photography, but also how receptive I was to the moment rather than the method when this was captured.
Leaving the cavalcade of cars, stacked back to back in Cade's Cove early morning, I traipsed through the field with my then new Canon 7D. The further I was from the road, the more in tune I felt with my surroundings. Fog slithered around the valley, eventually revealing a group of deer in the clearing. Light and shadow balanced beautifully between the elements, creating a mood and atmosphere that could only be enjoyed during this early time.
Without much know-how or technical prowess, I began snapping away, zooming in and out and basically shooting anything that seemed remotely interesting. I wasn't worried about settings, color, gear or really anything other than being there and seeing what I was seeing.
Fast forward a few years and I noticed that wonderment seemed to fade, and I worried more about whether or not my gear was good enough. I would stress about being on a tripod, how sharp the image was, if I chose the right lens or filter for the job, or if my composition was strong enough. These worries prevented me from being present in the moment and enjoying myself as much as possible, which is truly what it's all about and why I fell in love with photography in the first place. Digging back and seeing this image reminds me of that early mentality I need to connect with.
As for this particular photo, using the original file, I was able to edit more tactfully and precisely than I would have five years ago. In doing so, I realized my initial edit was entirely too cropped and cut out a pair of deer having a smooch session on the left side of the image. Now with a new feel, more indicative of how it actually looked and another element brought in by the deer, the image takes on new meaning and closes the five year gap, between then and now.
Smoky Mountain Morning
Early morning sun spilling onto Cade's Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The zig-zag of this shot really draws me into the scene and takes me back to 2010.

AUSTRALIAN singer Kathleen McCormack has died in England aged 83.
Boasting a recording career spanning some four decades across genres including country music, Scottish and Irish ballads, and 1920s waltz, McCormack also appeared on television and entertained troops during the Vietnam war.
A resident of London since the 1970s, Taree-born McCormack remained a loyal Australian, and returned regularly to her home country, most recently to complete a NSW club circuit and visit family, managing agent Darren Gray said.
"She was highly involved in the Australian community in London and the UK Australian film society and other cultural events," Gray told AAP.
"I'm sure a lot of people in Australia will remember her from her club circuit days through NSW and Queensland when she worked alongside acts including Barry Crocker and the Bee Gees."
McCormack, who died on Monday, released 29 LPs and sold more than a million albums between the 1950s and 1970s.
She was forced to stop performing as she battled a rare neurodegenerative condition.
"She sang Scottish and Irish ballads back in the day when people thought only the locals could sing such music, so the album covers used to say she was born in Scotland or Ireland. That's how it worked back then," Gray said.
As an actor, McCormack appeared in the popular Australian soap opera Number 96.
Accompanying the ABC Orchestra and singing alongside Little Pattie, McCormack travelled to Vietnam to entertain troops during the war.
"Kathy was a remarkable lady, kind hearted and full of generosity," Gray said.
"She was a hugely talented singer who was much loved by her fans on both sides of the globe."
McCormack is survived by two sons, a daughter and grandchildren who live in Australia.
A funeral will be held in London on 7 March.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to agencies supporting the sufferers of Picks disease.
