If you are a fan of wine from California, Italy, Burgundy or Champagne – you're going to want to watch this episode!
Wine critic Antonio Galloni formerly of Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, now founder of Vinous Media, joins us and we chat about everything from the 2013 harvest in Napa (his report will be out soon), the new classification of 'Gran Selezione' in Chianti Classico (what is it? does it make sense?), the exciting trends happening with Grower Champagnes (hint: they are deconstructing Champagne as we know it) and lots more – this one is crammed with great, geeky wine info! He's a natural-born educator and I found it a pleasure to hear his intelligent, thoughtful, helpful and interesting responses – I hope you do too.
And if you're wondering if we ask Antonio about his spat with Robert Parker earlier this year and that pesky law suit…well, we wouldn't be called The Punch Down if we didn't!
And for a bit of fun, my wine for the show is from Idaho! It was a first for me and I was pleased with the fruitiness and structure of the 2011 Syrah from Clearwater Canyon Cellars!
Grab a glass of something delicious, put your feet up and settle in…

USC Injury Report: JuJu Smith-Schuster Held Out Of Practice (10/18)
JuJu Smith-Schuster did not practice for USC on Tuesday as the Trojans hope to give him time during the bye week to heal his injured back.
With a bye week before facing Cal next Thursday, USC took the opportunity to rest a number of players on Tuesday, including receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, offensive lineman Jordan Simmons and safety Leon McQuay III.
Smith-Schuster suffered back spasms in the third quarter of USC's win over Arizona but the Trojans are confident he will be available when they next take the field at the Coliseum.
"We just held him today to try to get some bumps and bruises healed. He'll be back by Saturday," Helton said.
Simmons also sat out with tendinitis in his knee, which Helton is hopefully will subside with some rest.
USC Injury Report:
- Out for the season: DT Kenny Bigelow (knee), C Toa Lobendahn (knee), WR Steven Mitchell (knee)
- Out: RB Justin Davis (ankle), DL Noah Jefferson (academics/shoulder), RB Vavae Malepeai (shoulder)
- Questionable: OT Jordan Simmons (knee)
- Probable: ILB John Houston (knee), ILB Michael Hutchings (shoulder), CB Jonathan Lockett (shoulder), TE Taylor McNamara (back), S Leon McQuay III (hip/groin), S Ykili Ross (shoulder)
The same goes for McQuay who is dealing with a nagging hip and groin problem. The head coach indicated Tuesday that he should be ready to go by the weekend, when USC will begin early preparation for the midweek contest with the Bears.
Things are less clear when it comes to running back Justin Davis. The senior sprained his ankle against Colorado and missed the Trojans win over Arizona.

Davis was still in a boot on Tuesday but Helton it could come off some time this week.
"He's starting to feel better but we'll see how he does once he gets out of the boot," Helton said.
It was all good news for tackle Zach Banner, who started against the Wildcats and came out of the game with no lingering issues from his own ankle sprain.
"Zach Banner came out with flying colors," said Helton.
Banner's healthy return signals a relatively healthy Trojan squad compared to seasons past. Though USC lost receiver Steven Mitchell to a season-ending ACL tear this past weekend, the home stretch of the 2016 season should feature a line up which has held up from injury fairly well, outside of the normal dings and bruises.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Origins Available: English, Scottish
Picts were the forefathers of the Smiths family. Smiths is a name for a smithy. Although Smiths appears to be an occupational name for a blacksmith, it has been suggested that when surnames came into use in Scotland, several different families simply 'took on' the name whether they had been blacksmiths or not. Thus, Smiths is a classic example of a polygenetic surname that was developed in a number of different locations and adopted by various families independently.
Smiths Early Origins
England and Scotland, where they held a family seat from ancient times. In trying to establish a single source for this amazing, monumentally prolific surname Smith, it is asserted that they descended from Neil Cromb, a Chieftain who flourished in 1150, third son of Murdoch, Chief of the Clan Chattan, a confederation of twenty-six Clans of which Smith was a member Clan.
Faber and Ferro were Latin equivalents of the name Smith which were used in medieval documents. William faber de Karel witnessed legal proceedings c. 1250. William the Smith served as a juror during an inquest held at Traquair in 1274. In Aberdeen there lived an Alan Smyth in 1398. Finally, a Patrick Smyth of Scotland is noted as being confined in the Tower of London in 1401.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The freedom of the North American colonies was enticing, and many Scots left to make the great crossing. It was a long and hard journey, but its reward was a place where there was more land than people and tolerance was far easier to come by. Many of these people came together to fight for a new nation in the American War of Independence, while others remained loyal to the old order as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of Scots in North America have recovered much of this heritage in the 20th century through Clan societies and other such organizations. A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important and early immigrants to North America bearing the name of Smiths:
Smiths Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Semper Fidelis
Motto Translation: Always faithful.

A BBC film crew had a lucky escape recently when Italy's Mount Etna suddenly erupted while they were working close to the crater.
The crew, along with dozens of tourists who were also on the volcano in Sicily when it went off, had to run for their lives. Camera operator Rachel Price kept the video rolling throughout the ordeal, capturing some hair-raising footage (below) in the process.
With scalding hot rocks raining down on everyone as they fled, it's no surprise there were some injuries, though fortunately no one was killed in the incident.
In a report describing the terrifying experience, BBC science correspondent Rebecca Morelle said, "I truly thought that we were going to die."

BBHQ Boomer Essays:
A while back I asked my doctor if I should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? Knowing my proclivities, and wanting to keep me as a paying customer, he replied, "You need to grasp logistical efficiencies at play here. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are those? Fiber and vegetables. So a steak is an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Beef is a good source of field grass, a green leafy vegetable. Need grain? Eat chicken. A pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetables."

During my last visit to Newcastle, I visited a yarn shop in the Granger Market and picked up a huge ball of 100% cotton yarn for a song. This week, in preparation for my first crochet class I have been experimenting with a small crochet flower, trying to come up with some different ways in which you can use it. I love crocheting garlands - they are made in one long piece, no loose ends to weave in at the end and hugely versatile and pretty to decorate corners of your house.
Small Cotton Floral Decoration Pattern.
1. Chain 30
2. SS into 6th chain from hook to make a loop
3. 10 SC into centre of loop
4. Crochet the following stitches into the first SC to make a Petal (1SC, 1HDC, 1DC, 1HDC, 1SC)
Slip Stitch into 2nd SC
5. Repeat step 3& 4 into 3rd and 4th SC to make 2nd petal and continue this around until you have 5 petals
6. Chain 16 (or more depending on how 'strung out' you want your flowers to be) and make another flower on the chain as described above.
7. Continue until decoration is desired length
8. Finish off by chaining 25 if you need another 'lenght' to string it up with
So simple and satisfying to make, you could alternate colours for the flowers, or make a yellow centre if you wanted, or applique a string of 2 or 3 to an item, endless possibilities!

You never saw her break under pressure. She was a no nonsense person who believed in standing strong and never letting anyone pull you down. A true "Charlotte Breed" trait.
On Wednesday, July 10, 2013, the Lord called Alice home after several medical experiences. Her transition to Glory was made with her daughter, granddaughter, niece, great-niece, great-great niece, nephew and sisters.
Her love is left to one daughter, Wendy M.

3 Responses to "Alice Corbin Dix"
May the family please accept my deepest sympathy. Please comfort one another through the sharing of memories and cherishing your love you hold dear. Many people find a sure hope in God's Word. He promises us that through his Son, the dead will indeed live again. JOHN 5:25 states it this way "The hour is coming and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have given heed will live." We also see that the promise is extended in PSALMS 37:29 which reads" The righteous themselves will posses the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." Just a little while longer and these promises will come true. Seek comfort and truth and have a real lasting hope. "The Only Remedy" http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2006201#h=0:0-24:53
Aunt Alice you will be greatly missed, especially our converations on the phone. You always were encouraging and loving. You could always make me laugh. You have been a dedicated Aunt and friend, never giving up on me. Give Mom a kiss and enjoy your deserved rest.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I was saddened to hear about your Mom's death. I know exactly what you are going through at this time because I just lost my Mom 2 years ago on February 4, 2011. I just want to encourage you that even though it is hard right now, it will get better. The good memories will get you through the rough times. Weeping may endure for a night but Joy does come!!! I am sorry that I can not make the service, me and my husband who is the Pastor of our church in Cambridge have a wedding to do today. Be blessed and know that God cares and He will comfort and keep you.

Portugal manager Fernando Santos, speaking after his side's last 16 win against Croatia at the European Championships, defended the way his side played.
The match in Lens was a very tactical affair with both teams cancelling each other out until Ricardo Quaresma scored three minutes before the end of extra time to send his side through to the quarter-finals where they will play Poland.
Santos defends his team's tactics
There was a general sense of annoyance at the way Portugal approached the game, however, but Santos feels that his side did what they had to in order to win a very tough game.
Santos says that the match against Croatia was a "very tactical match" which both teams didn't let each other use their natural style of play so he feels that everyone needs to "look at both sides of the coin" and notice that it was a great victory.
The Portuguese manager continued to say that "we faced an amazing team" in Croatia, as everyone saw they played "some of the best football in the group stages" so it was important for the team to be prepared for that. Santos says that he got the "team ready to fight and take advantage of their weak spots" which there wasn't many of.
Santos, though, did think his side could have done better, especially by "passing the ball faster" but says that the team found that difficult because "Croatia didn't let us play" which was a testament to them.
Santos congratulates Nani and the whole team for their performance
The match against Croatia saw Nani make his 100th appearance for his country which meant that he was only the fourth player to acheive that after Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Fernando Couto. Santos was proud of the winger, but he also very happy with all of this players for their display.
On Nani reaching 100 caps for Portugal, Santos said "it's always a beautiful number to reach" as not many players achieve this and he was quick to say that he was "very happy with Nani and with all of the players" as they stood strong against difficult opposition.

After 11 years of waiting, we finally have a trailer for Rings, the third installment in The Ring franchise. It appears that Samara's curse still haunts those unlucky victims who make the mistake of watching her tape, but now she's adopted modern technology to help her reap even more victims than ever before. Check out Samara's rebirth and the return of her infamous TV crawl in the trailer below:
Seeing Samara emerge from underneath that flatscreen TV brought back all those creeped-out feels.
The Worst Kind Of Viral Video
It's clear that Rings is catering to a more modern audience, as the days of Samara's cursed VHS tape are a thing of the past. Now, the tape has made its way onto the internet, meaning that your impending death is only a mouse-click away. Armed with this new technology and the capacity of her video to go viral, can anything stop Samara?

An Undiscovered Terror
The cursed tape holds more secrets than we initially thought, as the plot for Rings will explore a hidden movie within a movie that no one has seen before. We can only guess as to what this undiscovered footage will reveal about Samara's already disturbing past that we haven't explored in The Ring or The Ring Two.
Though it looks like the theme of "rebirth" will be a strong factor in Samara's return, as she's using Julia (Matilda Lutz) as a vessel, perhaps to emerge into the real world — flies, hair knots, and all.
It looks as though Rings is going to stay true to the franchise with some of Samara's traditional scare tactics, hopefully mixing in some new terrors we have yet to witness on screen, like taking down a freaking passenger jet!
Samara will claw her way back out of the screen with Rings, arriving in theaters on October 28, 2016.
What is the creepiest viral video you've ever watched?


text: very average game that looked like the 2 teams swapped jerseys at half time. From a SOO preview there were a few but not many points: Hayne is not a 5/8. Wing or fullback for him Carney is the 5/8, Pearce the half, Wallace didnt get a gig so wont consider him and Mullen was having a nana nap Aaron Woods should start with Gallen. Looked pooped at the end but put in a huge game and bent the line. Ferguson has put his hand up but with Morris, Uate and Hayne may be a bit unlucky to miss out. The backrowers were average bar Bird, they will come from the Aussie team and Trex + Gift One a side note one has to feel the ref was trying to make it tight with the penalty count getting to 11 - 3 to the losing team.

Huck Finn- Racism Essay, Research Paper
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a Mark Twain classic, wonderfully demonstrates pre-Civil War attitudes about blacks held by whites. Twain demonstrates these attitudes through the actions and the speech of Huckleberry Finn, the narrator, and Jim, Miss Watson's slave. These two main characters share a relationship that progresses from an acquaintance to a friendship throughout the novel. It is through this relationship that Mark Twain gives his readers the realization of just how different people's attitudes were before the Civil War. Twain also reveals the negative attitudes of whites toward blacks by the cruel manner in which Jim is treated with such inferiority.
The beginning of Huck and Jim's relationship is tainted with racism. When introducing the reader to Jim's character, Huck describes Jim as illiterate, childlike, and superstitious. Although Huck describes Jim in a racist manner, it is not Huck himself who is racist. Instead, the widow, Miss Watson, and Pap, the adult "role models" in Huck's life, are who instilled this hatred in Huck. Racism was all around Huck, and the transference of this bigotry to Huck could have hardly been avoided. Although Huck is a bit racist to Jim at the beginning of their journey, the negative attitude held by Huck begins to fizzle as their adventure continues on. The more Huck and Jim go through together, the closer the two become. Huck begins to see Jim as a friend and vice versa. By the end of their journey, Huck disagrees with society's idea that blacks are inferior. One example of this is evident when Huck doesn't tell anyone of Jim's whereabouts. Huck doesn't tell anyone because he knows that if he does, Jim will be forced to return to slavery. Instead, Huck chooses to "go to Hell" for his decision. He has shied away from society's acceptance of slavery.
One of the ways Twain exposes the folly of the negative attitudes toward blacks is through describing the whites' cruel and pointless acts of hatred directed toward Jim. The least severe of the cruel acts toward Jim is that whites often ridicule him. Another dehumanizing act is when Jim is made to hide his face in the daytime. The most foolish and ignorant idea of the whites, however, is when Silas Phelps locked up Jim. Another demonstration of the whites' folly is when Pap, Huck's father, violently objects to the granting of suffrage to a black man. Pap does not take into consideration that this man is an educated professor; he believes that he is superior to this black man simply because of the color of his skin. In actuality, however, Pap is an uneducated drunk. This adds to the irony of the white's actions. These cruel acts performed by white people are silly and ignorant. These acts show the true close-mindedness and foolishness of the white people that materialized from society's preformed hatred and racism.
The changes in Huck's attitude toward Jim suggest that society's negative attitudes can be revised. Many times society is expected to have a negative view on certain topics; in this case, the topic being blacks. No one person wants to rock the boat by voicing his or her opinion. However, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn demonstrates that preconceived ideas can be changed. All society needs is an open mind. By the end of the novel, Huck did not care at all about what anybody thought of him. He was proud to be friends with Jim, and Jim was proud to be friends with Huck.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an eye-opening novel that causes the readers to come to a blunt realization of what really went on before blacks gained their freedom. Through Huck and Jim's rich friendship, the readers realize that preconceived notions are not always intelligent ones. Huck and Jim show that society can empty itself of hatred through an open mind and an open heart. Jim endured many unnecessary cruel acts of racism throughout the novel. If society had washed its hands of ignorance, these pointless acts would not have gone on, and slaves, represented by Jim, would not have been treated in a dehumanizing manner. Through the events of this novel, Twain educates the readers of the foolishness of past society in hopes that these acts of ignorance will cease.

In my previous article There's No Melancholy in Melencolia – One Secret of Greatest Art Fraud in Art History http://wp.me/p2M3K7-hG I reported to you that there is nothing allegorical about anything that is in Albrecht Dürer's most famous print or any of his art at all. And that Albrecht Dürer was using steganography, known in this case as the Dürer Cipher, a secret messaging system where others do not even know messages are being passed to a target audience.
You also learned about how incredibly skilled Dürer was in hiding an inscription in plain sight that everyone thought was a title for over 500 years.
You will see in the next article after this one how the belt in Melencolia is also encoded and how much we know about what that says and how important it is to understanding what Melencolia is really about.
But today you will learn about and SEE the absolutely most important symbol in Melencolia, the biggest secret the artists Dürer hid in this print, the one that was most important to both Albrecht and Margret.
And that symbol is this:
I have checked my own copy of Melencolia I, because the print is not that large, roughly 9 ½ inches x 7 1/2 inches, to determine whether this symbol is visible to the naked eye.
AND IT IS if you know to look for it. The Dürers used the bell clapper above the Magic Square as a directional symbol, basically as an arrow, for people to find it, it points directly down in a straight line to the symbol below the belt code. That's a really smart move on their part.
Let's look at the elements that make up this symbol
Albrecht wanted to be known as a great mathematician so over the rest of the symbol they have an element that means "Pi." The mathematical definition of Pi is that it is a transcendental number, which implies, among other things, that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) can be equal to its value. In other words, there is nothing equal to it and this whole symbol indicates that there is nothing equal in importance to what this symbol represents. The bar over the symbol is a different form of Pi than we are used to seeing in the modern age.
Next we look at what's under the Pi bar symbol. At first glance it appears to be an "F' but it is not, it is the same symbol used in the Margret Dürer self portrait painting inscription in the neckline
It's actually a goldsmith's tool as it is used in the Margret self portrait.
Then we get to the crossbar that is dissecting the goldsmith tool, which is another example of how the Dürers were indicating something being "equal." They did this in the Melencolia inscription in the flourish that makes up part of the inscription-there's a crossbar dissecting the box of the flourish
The entire symbol represents a person who is the most important person to the two Dürers in the world.
And this symbol is repeated in Dürer's last painting of St. Jerome done in 1521 for the Faktor of Portugal.
It is exactly what St. Jerome is pointing to, exactly, but the proof of that will be shown in another article, since there are two other important symbols around St. Jerome's hand that tell us the entire meaning of what Albrecht Dürer is so importantly saying to us in this painting.
And notice also, that nobody has ever realized this St. Jerome painting is totally wrong. St. Jerome is known for translating BIBLES and is responsible for translating the Latin Vulgate bible used throughout all of medieval and Renaissance Europe. He is always depicted either in the wilderness or in his study but he's always depicted as reading or translating BIBLES. In THIS painting St. Jerome does NOT have a bible in front of him, he has a very prominent MATH book in front of him instead.
Notice we can easily see the math symbol for PHI prominently shown and we can easily see that the book is a book totally about math.
Why would Albrecht Dürer do that?

The Prospector's Curse
"The Prospector's Curse" is a short film set in the gold rush era, about a couple of outcasts who stumble across an old prospector during his final moments in this world. After ignoring his dying wishes and going after his gold the two of them found out there's more than just gold in them thar hills. Hint hint: it's zombies.
Although this short was a little difficult to follow it was certainly entertaining. It was well acted and shot and almost succeeded in making it feel like the old west. I say almost because it was shot using a digital camera and could of done with a bit of post production treatment to give it a little bit of that film grain feel. The zombie scenes were a good mix of scary and comedic, "The Prospector's Curse" is an excellent effort by first time zombie filmmaker Josh Heisie. If you get the chance definitely try and see this one.

I recently installed CS5, and the default seems to be to open all images as tabs. I hate it. I have to go to "arrange... float all in windows" every time I open a number of images. It's not a huge deal, but it's an extra step. Is there any way to change the default? I checked in preferences, but couldn't find anything relevant.

Officially named Embajadores, this neighborhood is better known as Lavapiés, which is its main plaza and metro stop. It experienced a revival that began in the 1980's, when it became popular with young people and artists. At the heart of this diverse area is Plaza de Lavapiés, which is a meeting point for immigrants and Spaniards alike. Some consider it a "dangerous area", but residents of the area find this to be untrue. In spite of the seamless blend of cultures, the neighborhood is a crowded one, characterized by narrow streets and buildings with painted facades. The Calle de Argumosa, which runs to the east of Plaza de Lavapies, is fully of trendy bars and is one of the most popular places in Madrid to sit on a terrace and enjoy a caña (small beer). The streets that stretch to the north and west from the plaza are filled with ethnic restaurants and shops. It's also home to many cultural attractions like the Vallé-Inclan Theater. The iconic Reina Sofia art museum also sits at the neighborhood's edge.

ELLSWORTH, WI – The Ellsworth High School floor hockey team hasn't lost a game in nearly two years.
This year's squad is 10-0 heading into their season finale on Thursday night. Head Coach Stacie Robey works as a special education aide at Ellsworth High School.
"A lot of these kids have been playing for nine years. They just keep getting better and better," she said.
The players are students in special education programs at the school. Sophomore Dominic Fobbe says his teammates are very supportive and like another family to him. Parents, like Melissa Olson, have seen first-hand the impact that being part of the team has had for her daughter Madison.
"She became a different kid. It's amazing to watch her grow and see what Stacie does for each of these kids, she pushes them to be the best they can be," Olson said.
In turn, the players have found success believing in each other and building a special bond with their coach.

"Happy birthday sweet Ralph! I have been thinking about you all day remembering how much you loved celebrating everyone else's special occasions. I wanted to write here but I could almost hear you saying "but you have to finish your prints for the show..." You always worried that I would not have time to get them all done. Well - you could be right. It's been known to happen. Oh, you are missed. I wish you could be here to celebrate your birthday! I think even some folks who joined games group after you were gone miss you! I do love that your spirit lives on in the games groups, at the bridge clubs, and of course, in the family. I am grateful every day for the relationship we shared and the gifts that it has given me. I love you."
"Another year, and you are still missed. What a loss to all who knew you."
"Wow, hard to believe it's been 3 years without you, Ralph. Always enjoyed your humor and banter as well as your intelligence at the game parties we attended together. You continue to be missed."
"It's been three long years. I still reflect on your wisdom & what an amazing peacemaker you were. We miss you old friend. Until that "Forever Someday"...."
"My dearest Ralph, I still think of you and miss you every day. Most often it is with gratitude for the many ways that you enhanced my life in the too brief decade we had together. When I work in the studio, I remember your delight in seeing progress from day to day. When framing art, I remember how we had a system for putting the frames together and I miss your assistance! When I pack work to deliver to a show - I remember how you helped me with the physical work, but also with thoughtful additions to the tools and strategies we used - ways to protect the frames during transport, for example, and how to hang the work at an outdoor display. At election time, I missed the long conversations we had over all the ballot propositions each year.
I miss you when I play bridge. I enjoyed being your partner so much! I do play with the Baty Bridge Bunch, which Mike has kept going. It is good to have the gang together although it's only once a month now. I miss going to games nights with you. I still go some Saturdays, but not as regularly. It's not the same without you, of course, and it's easy to let other activities take precedence. Still I appreciate the friendships you introduced me to in those groups, and I like to stay in touch. I continue your tradition of season tickets at North Coast Rep, and have taken friends to the performances, as you did before I met you. Still eating bison from Glacier Grown - just received my second order. Still enjoying organic produce, but from Sprouts and my own garden, this year. Just could not keep up with the box! Still making art inspired by our travels, but also making more local scenes. You will appreciate that I added the people into a beach scene that I painted this week - and it sold within 24 hours. I know, you told me so!
I miss your delight in your family, and your thoughtful and loving attention to your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I loved your research into the gifts you would give, research that often started months before the birthday in question. Even though sometimes the package wouldn't get into the post in time to arrive for the birthday, you always had the gifts in house well in advance! I miss the rowdy family gatherings you had every summer and at holidays. You were so generous with your time and attention, and affection.
You affected my life in so many ways that carry on today, but what I miss most is the day to day - just being together. Laughing. Loving. You reading aloud while I knit - how many books did we get through? Alternating fiction and non-fiction. Watching a little Netflix. Playing Boggle. For all the sadness I feel over your being gone, I still feel joy in the memories of our time together, and gratitude for the love that you gave me.
I will take a walk at Coast Walk today, and think of you and remember you with love."
I miss you so much. I still pick up my phone everyday wanting to hear your voice, to tell you about everything I've been doing, new things the kids are learning. I've taken such big steps forward this passed year and I finally feel like I'm leading a life you'd truly be proud of. That's what I've always wanted, to make you proud. You taught me so much, you were always there for me, and always wanted me to live to my full potential instead of standing still. I love you. I love you for pushing me, for loving me unconditionally when I was a complete brat, for always being there for me when I needed you, for providing consistency and being the most stable part of my life. Thank you for telling me I could live to be more, for pushing me when I didn't believe in myself, for always being honest, even when that honesty was too much to hear. ❤"
"Ralph, you inspire us still. My wife Kate & I often reflect on how you conducted your life, the things you said & did. Sometimes when I consider a choice of options & it doesn't quite work out the way I planned, we can hear you say "that was a most unfortunate decision". Until we meet again, old friend."
"Ralph was such an inspiration. I worked with him in finding the right style for framing some art work, and he became a friend and mentor. A brilliant light in the lives of all that knew home and he always introduced you to others and shared his baking, a kindred spirit. He will always be in our hearts!"
"Sweet Ralph, I can hardly believe it's been two years. I still miss you and it is a great comfort to remember all the good times we had together - games, and bridge, plays and travel, and all the books you read aloud to me. I'll be at the Fair today - doing a demo, another thing you helped me with - and I'll think of you at the wood show, and at the gadgets tent! Two exhibits you loved! And many people are remembering you when they see the art I have in the Fair this year - both pieces are from our last trip together, and the hikes we took in Bishop. One is a portrait of you on the trail, your face highlighted by the setting sun. "Last Light". Much love."
"I miss you so much, everyday. I love you grandpa."
"Happy Birthday Buddy! I miss your physical presence at BB Games every month. Maybe you can look over my shoulder when I am playing your favorite card games, and whisper in my ear the best cards to play. This way you still get to enjoy the game from the other side, and everyone will wonder why I keep winning. LOL."
"Ralph was such an interesting, intelligent and good person. The happy memories of game nights and bridge with Ralph will always be missed.
Ralph was admired by everyone who knew him.My heart goes out to his great love Juli, and his family."
"Thinking of Ralph on his birthday, traveling and doing "urban hiking" as our friends Doug and Kelly called it. I wish he could have shared this adventure with me. He was a great travel companion!"
"Just thinking about Ralph on what would have been his 72nd birthday. I only knew him from games groups, but think about him regularly when I play."
"For all the sadness of Ralph's absence in body, I still feel the impact of his love and the relationship that we shared. I feel so lucky to have had the time with him that I did. The feelings of sorrow are always followed by gratitude for what we had. And a flood of happy memories. He was a remarkable man. He is my rock."
"Ralph remains in our hearts & thoughts, even today. Sometimes, when I'm struggling with a decision, Ralph pops into my head with a suggestion as to how he might deal with it. That helps ! Even when something doesn't quite turn out the way it was intended, a famous quote from Ralph comes to mind............"That was a most unfortunate decision". We miss you dear friend. Until we meet again."
"When I see the beautiful light in your girlfriend's eyes, it is always a reminder of the light of goodness that was in you. You will always be remembered fondly...but did you have to take your cookie recipe with you? LOL!"
"Barbara's annual 4th of July party is coming up soon. We'll save a spot for you at the table. Miss you, Ralph."
"I miss you so much, Grandpa."
"Just a note to say you're still missed and thought of regularly by me and many others."
"I didn't know Ralph well, but liked his sense of humor and his love of family and friends. He left us far too soon."
"I miss you every day. Ellen and I celebrated your birthday by going to dinner and a concert. You would have enjoyed the dinner - the concert, not so much! A little loud for your taste! Enjoyed lots of happy memories of our time together. Wish you were here to hang the exhibit in Vista this week - an ambitious 53 pieces in a solo show. Congratulations on your great grandson born the 24th - what joy you would take in him! Love, Juli"
"Happy Birthday Ralph, We miss you! ~Kris (aka Ariel)"
"Thinking of the tremendous loss we all felt with Ralph's unexpected and tragic passing. I think of him regularly when playing games. Rest in peace, Ralph."
"Happy Birthday to Ralph"
"Time to remember Ralph on his own special day. Kisses to Juli, his vigilant and strong best friend,"
"I've always only known Ralph as "Juli's Ralph" - as that, I always knew him as a most devoted and loyal partner to her. We would see Ralph about once a year, with the occasional skipped year, depending on whether they could make it to our annual family gathering in Debordieu, SC. This past weekend I felt like I got to know the whole Ralph, having spent the weekend on his "turf", including his home, where I stayed, and got to spend significant time with, and get to know, his brother. From meeting so many who knew him, and seeing how he touched so many people, many in a profound way, I now have an even better sense of how much he meant to my beautiful sister, and how deeply missed he will be. I'm glad I got to see this, glad I got to know Ralph, as more than just "Juli's Ralph" - although, even as that, he was really something. Rarely have I seen such devotion and loyalty as he always showed to her. One of my lasting memories of Ralph will always be of him reading to Juli, while she knitted, in the little sitting room outside of where they stayed when we shared a large beach home several summers ago. Such devotion. Remarkable man. My sincere sympathies and sorrow to all of his family - may grace and comfort be yours, and my sisters, as you all carry on, with the warm memories of a most remarkable man, who touched your lives, so."
"When I entered a room with beautiful Juli in it, I knew not far away was her Ralph, somewhere, quietly watching with amusement on his face, at the ready to be there for his gal - Johnny on the Spot - deeply in love with the wise, kind Juli - his special gal. Oh, my - our loss, heaven's gain."
"I met Ralph many years ago at the Cove Bridge club in La jolla, I was a beginner Bridge player at that time, He invited me to his home to play, and I consider this a kind gesture. I feel compelled to share with others the unbelievable character of this man. Like I mentioned earlier, I first met Ralph with an invitation to play bridge. Automatically I felt the hospitality and warmth that came from him. This made it so easy to become instant friends, making anyone who came into his house feel very special. I know many will miss this humble and intelligent person, all that were lucky enough to know him must feel a little emptiness now that he is gone. I am lucky to have spent the many years enjoying his company."
"Marty & I were shocked & saddened by Ralph's sudden passing & still can't believe he is gone. We will always remember him as will the many people whose lives he touched in such a positive way. We met him in the 1990's in our early days playing duplicate bridge & enjoyed playing many bridge team games with him over the years. We also participated in the Tuesday night bridge games at his house that he so generously hosted & coordinated weekly for many years always making sure there were the right number of players & never canceling even when he had out-of-town company staying with him. He also went out of his way to help people learn & improve their bridge game by offering bridge lessons at his home. Moreover he was an active member of the San Diego Bridge Unit Board for 8 years during which time he served as Tournament Chairman & coordinated all the Sectional tournaments as well as holiday parties. Ralph will be sorely missed & long remembered for his caring spirit & all he did to help others & enrich their lives."
"Ralph was a genuine gem. It seems that he invented the concept of proactive empathy: he constantly envisioned the needs of others, and then made sure those needs were met. Both his wit and knowledge of the nuances of the English language are legendary among the Tuesday night bridge group he hosted and alliteratively dubbed "Baty's Bridge Bunch."
Although I hate phone conversations, I enjoyed long phone chats with Ralph. His sense of humor and brilliant mind made it a pleasure to solve with him double-dummy bridge problems and explore innovative bidding concepts. As much as I'll miss all the tournament and home bridge I played both with and against him, I'll miss Ralph the man so much more."
"I know Ralph as the very special partner of my good friend Julie. He was always so sweet to her. He was always there for her. He just loved her: purely, unconditionally and wholeheartedly. We should all be so lucky. Ralph, you are gone too soon and will be greatly missed."
"In the short time I have known Ralph, I quickly came to accept his generous & forgiving nature. I was looking foreword to playing cards with again at future meet ups. Like so many others I will miss him."
"I remember meeting Ralph, at his home, in 2009 or 2010. I was impressed at his skill at playing games that required great memory. His often surpassed mine, even though he was almost twice my age! I enjoyed spending time both playing with him and chatting with him about different games, including Bridge, though I never had the opportunity to play Bridge with him. He will be missed by myself, my daughter, Kat, and his numerous friends with whom he had shared his life."
"Ralph has been my friend for more than twenty years. Ralph was one of the most kind, helpful & gentle souls I have ever known. If someone or some group needed help, Ralph was the "go to guy" to offer his special brand of compassionate wisdom. We feel a great loss for someone we all cared about so much & who genuinely cared about us. Our heart & prayers go out to Julie, his loving partner, his children, grand children, great grand children & his many, many friends. Ralph has left us with an amazing legacy of love & caring. Ralph will remain in our hearts. Until our spirits reunite......... We will miss you Ralph."
"Immediately after meeting Juli I knew she was and is an awesome woman of wisdom, courage and talent. So I was delighted to meet her Ralph one day in Spanish Village, one of my favorite places to just hang out. He was a hug me teddy bear kind of guy. His great laughter and "break apart" glasses have kept me from getting frustrated many a time while learning new card games. And of course I always have to squirrel away a few of his scrumptious cookies for myself when game night is at my house !!
Every April I run the La Jolla Half and then do the Art Walk. This year I stopped to hug Juli and there was Ralph, as always, her wonderful sentry siting in his chair, notebook and pencil in hand. We hugged and chatted a bit. Then I picked up an artwork of Juli's, Morning Mist, a beautiful scene of trees and mountains.
Ralph mentioned that I hold that particular print each time I come. He told me this story about it: Juli worked on this one and Ralph said "that looks great just like that". But Juli added some more depth to the artwork and Ralph said "that looks even better." Juli added further touches and Ralph told her "you knew just what to do to make this perfect." Well, I knew it was truly such a great combination of Ralph and Juli that I bought it right then and there.
I am So Happy that I have this wonderful memento of dear Ralph to grace my home.
Many Many Blessings to his Beloved Juli and to his family ..."
"Ralph was a wonderful bridge teacher and host. His great humor and intelligence will be missed."
"Ralph was the best "Oh Hell" scorekeeper in the world! Always very gentle and patient with would-be gamers. Always a generous host with a wonderfully dry and subtle sense of humor. I met Ralph briefly at a MENSA event in the early '90's...years before I started to attend Games. He was a brilliant man with humility and grace who kept his brilliance under wraps so people would still play with him. LOL! I'm happy to have known him."
"Ralph was a shining light a gift to the world .a great soul a brilliant artappreciator and most of all a dear friend to all he will be missed"
"I'm shocked. Ralph was so vibrant and young. He was one of my favorite Phoenix players. I always wanted to be at his table. He was always willing to teach, showed great patience for people learning, and accepted everyone,not to mention always kept score for us. And we will never forget his cookies, he made the best cookies in San Diego...I'm sure it was because of the love he put into them. Everyone loved Ralph. He just had a really great heart.
I believe it was just last month that he had game night at his home and stayed up and playing with us until 1:00 am. While I take comfort in knowing that his Soul and Spirit will never die, and will always be with us, I will greatly miss him in the physical body. God be with you Ralph!

My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out out to Julie and his family. ~Kris (aka Ariel)"
"I've known Ralph as a integral part of several San Diego gaming groups for years and years and.....well - a long time. He was always in demand to play whatever was going on - the Settling of Catan, building worldwide railroad networks, or raising hell with one of his favorite card games - "Oh, Hell!". Win or lose, it was always an honor being at the same table with him (and his cookies). Until later...Game On, Ralph!!"
"Although I have never met Ralph, I have been involved with gaming meet up groups here in San Diego since February, 2012. There has been numerous times to go to various meet up groups in which Ralph was there, all though I did not know it at that time. It saddens me to now know that I have missed the opportunity to meet one who has been so influential as Ralph has been here in the San Diego area."
"I don't know how long ago I met Ralph, probably 4, most likely at one of Barbara's Bunch game parties. He introduced me to Bugarum, which I found fascinating as it's a variation of a game I've played since a child with my family. Always enjoyed playing with him and admiring his skill.
My thoughts go out to Juli, his family, and many, many friends.
He'll be sorely missed."
"I remember first meeting Ralph who, with his card playing saavy, was quite intimidating. After I decided with reticence to join in on the game I realized what a delightful guy he was and I was hooked on the 'glimpse over his glasses' smile and amusing comments. From then on he was awesome to play with and I never once felt sheepishly shameful about my poor "Oh Hell" strategies. He left a charming impression on me. My most sincere sympathies go out to his family, dear friend Julie and other admirers."
"Thank you for the wonderful message about Ralph's last few months...he was a great guy. I only knew him thru bridge, but always liked his humor and his commitment to Juli and his family especially his great granddaughter. He was taken too soon...."
"I first met Ralph in 2007 when I was invited to a games group gathering. I instantly liked him as soon as I tasted his cookies. I think I over dose on them the very first time. Then I got to know him a little better with time and realized what a good man he was. I had hope to do a painting of him, which I will still do down the road, but sharing a few photos of him for now. Where ever he is, I am sure he is happy and at peace. May those who loved him and miss him find comfort and peace during this sad time."
"I will really miss Ralph's smiling face at the bridge table. I also worked with him closely when he was Tournament Manager for the San Diego Sectionals. He was the best! And, of course, the tournaments will never be the same without Ralph's famous cookies."
