White House voices support for gay troops
by Bob Roehr
In what is believed to be a first, the White House last week acknowledged gay service members in the wake of homophobic comments made by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Peter Pace.
In a March 12 meeting with editors and reporters of the Chicago Tribune, Pace said, "I believe that homosexual acts between individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts." He did not frame his support for the anti-gay military policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the traditional terms of homosexuality being detrimental to unit cohesion.
Dan Bartlett, counselor to the president, was asked last week what message Pace's comments sent to gay service members serving in Iraq. He replied, "The president appreciates the sacrifice and service of every service member, and what they're doing on a daily basis to improve the situation."
Steve Ralls was stunned. The spokesman for the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, the leading group working to repeal DADT, said, "As far as I'm aware, this is the first time the Bush White House has said they appreciate the sacrifice of gay troops."
"In late February, after Congressman [Marty] Meehan re-introduced his repeal legislation, Tony Snow said, 'We'll wait and see what Congress comes up with,' when asked if the president would support the bill. That wasn't a flat no, and I had to read that transcript twice, too!" Ralls added.
SLDN also released the latest of its annual reports on DADT. It showed that 612 service members were kicked out of the military under the policy during fiscal year 2006. That is down from 742 in 2005. The total number has ebbed each year since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, when it was more than twice as large as today.
"The Pentagon's data shines a bright light on the hypocrisy of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'" said SLDN Executive Director C. Dixon Osburn. "When military leaders need the talent, skills, and qualifications of gay personnel, dismissals decline. The Pentagon's own data shows that, during times of war, when unit cohesion is most important, fewer gay troops are dismissed. The ban on their service, and not their service itself, is what erodes cohesion most."
Gary J. Gates, a senior research fellow at the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, documented the full cost of DADT in a report released on March 19. From a survey of LGB veterans, he calculated that about 4,000 soldiers per year would have decided to stay in the service rather than get out at the end of their tour of duty.
"The military intends to add more than 18,000 troops each year for the next five years," said Gates. The Pentagon could achieve one-sixth of that total by eliminating DADT and retaining more gay service members.

The bank was a scene of complete chaos, with men screaming and children crying. The leader, wearing a rabbit, latex mask, was standing nearby, shouting out orders to the hostages that lay on the ground, their hands over their heads. He was a broad man, tall and strong, and it didn't take long to figure he had been a criminal all his life. His hearing slowly returning to him, Samuel could still hear that screeching echo in his brain from the first shotgun blast. Screaming that they only have so much time, he was rounding up all the hostages, dragging them over to a nearby corner in the bank. Samuel could see two other masked men near the vault, dragging large money bags out. The police still had not arrived, but Samuel could see that people outside were avoiding the bank like a plague. As the leader was dragging people and shouting out orders, another shot went off towards the back of the bank. Everyone looked over to see what had happened, eyes widened with shock and fury.
One of the children of the mother who had been shot and laid to bleed on the floor was now on the floor, bleeding out as well. The leader, shocked by the image as well, then screamed an unholy tirade at the person responsible. "Jefferson! What the hell are you doing?!" The man, smaller and scrappier then the leader, was standing over the child's body, pistol in hand. He was staring at the boy, not saying anything as the leader marched over to him, shotgun in hand. "Jefferson" was wearing a mouse latex mask, which had a terrible grin on it. It only fed to the horrible image, as more hostages cried out in horror. Rabbit-Face, obviously pissed over the child killing, moved towards Jefferson and then belted him in the back of his head, causing him to fall forward. "You idiot! I said minimal casualties god-dammit!"
It has been said that the body, when in times of great distress, goes through an emotional conundrum. Faced with certain death, it had to make a decision between fight and flight. Whether or not to turn and face the attacker head on, or to flee and hope to survive. It is also said that during this time of great stress, that the body activates adrenaline, a chemical completely designed by the body to ramp up ones strength, dexterity, and intelligence, just so that the person can survive the attack. When adrenaline is activated throughout the body, reaction times are quickened, heart-rate is sped up, and tremors take the body.
Samuel knew this, but even then, at that exact moment, he felt different. Empowered by some unforeseen thing, his breathing slowed, and his curled his fists into a tight ball. The criminals were a good distance away, especially Rabbit-Face and Jefferson. At least 100 feet away, if Samuel were to rush them in anger, they would both blow him away before he had a chance to inflict any damage whatsoever. Even still, the criminals in the back were even farther, still unloading bags of money from the vault. Staring daggers at the child-killer, Samuel would not let them leave this bank, not without him doing something about it.
Slowly getting up on his feet, Samuel raised himself up slowly, his legs quivering from either fear or adrenaline. Rabbit-Face and Jefferson were arguing back and forth, Rabbit-Face holding Jefferson by the collar of his shirt. They argued back and forth for several seconds, until Rabbit-Face looked up to see Samuel starting to stand. Both quieted and Rabbit-Face struggled to bring his shotgun to bear, hoping to aim in directly at Samuel. "Son, I warned yo-"
Samuel wasn't sure how he did it. It just happened honestly. Staring at them both, anger and rage building up in his body, he just screamed as loud as he could. A shock-wave of pure energy shot from Samuel, flying through the bank and smacking the two robbers like a speeding train. Both were flung like rag dolls towards the back of the bank, both hitting the back wall with a horrid smack. Bones were cracked as both yelled out in utter pain, as Samuel starred on in complete shock. Hearing sirens finally approach from behind was a good thing, but Samuel was frozen in place. Hostages, unsure of what to make of the scene, were left gaping in awe.
The two robbers from the back of the bank yelled in response, firing random shots as they moved out from the vault door. Samuel, feeling the bullets whiz by him, blinked and the large vault door merely slammed shut with the robbers still inside. What was going on with him? Trembling and fiercely sweating from all the power being drained from him, Samuel turned towards the hostages, many of them more afraid of him now than anything.

I know it's pretty obsessive, but I have to say I'm a little annoyed with the theme I currently use. I love everything about it apart from one tiny glitch. In the McKinley theme, are the menu buttons supposed to be weirdly offset, or is there any way to remedy this through customising or other settings?
Any help would be a lovely!

The Lion King has made history. The long-running musical is Broadway's newest champ. After hitting the stage in 1997, the production has grossed a total of $853.8 million in tickets breaking the all-time box office record.
According to The Los Angeles Times, The Lion King has taken the top spot from the world-famous Phantom of the Opera. Phantom made its Broadway debut in 1988 and has earned a total of $853.1 million.
To be fair, The Lion King has one thing that gives it the competitive edge -- higher ticket prices. The average price for a ticket is $155, while The Phantom of the Opera calls for $99. As you can see, there's a drastic difference between the two.
When The Lion King debuted on Broadway, it was under the direction of Julie Taymor, who most recently tackled the stage adaptation Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. For her work on The Lion King, she became the first woman to win a Tony Award for best directing of a musical.
Producer and president of Disney Theatrical, Thomas Schumacher, praised Taymor for her contribution to The Lion King's legacy.
He said, "Her vision, continued commitment to the show and uncommon artistry account for this extraordinary success."

Recovery and Conservation of the Scheldt Estuary
Geographical location:
Europe/Middle-East > West Central Europe > Belgium > Flemish Region
Europe/Middle-East > West Central Europe > Netherlands
This project aims to emphasize the natural beauty of the Scheldt. WWF Belgium sets up an active and dynamic awareness campaign together with various Dutch and Belgian organizations. Therefore a campaign Scheldt-bus travels from town to town. In addition the project developed a television-documentary on the Scheldt estuary, TV and radio commercials, publication and flyers and a moveable exposition. In June 2005 a big international Scheldt event will take place along the river.
Three pilot nature sites (Noordelijk eiland, Ketenisseschoor and Ellewoutswijk) play a strategic role during this project. These sites are not only the window for the campaign, but also the prove that nature can - if well managed - live in harmony with people and industry.
The Netherlands and Flanders share a unique area of natural beauty. An area with meadowland and tidal woods, salt marshes and mud flats, flood channels and tidal creeks. An area where river and sea merge. Where yearly hundreds of thousands of birds break their journey, seals and porpoises live and sometimes even a dolphin can be seen. The Scheldt estuary is situated in the northwest of Flanders in Belgium and the southwest of The Netherlands and covers approximately half of the whole Scheldt River Basin. It is one of the few remaining European estuaries that include the entire gradient from fresh to salt water tidal areas. The Western Scheldt and large parts of the Flemish Sea Scheldt are so unique that they have been given international protection (Ramsar, Habitat and Bird Directive).
Although the Scheldt river has a rich nature to offer, it is particularly known for its busy shipping lane to Antwerp with industrial areas along its banks. This unfamiliarity with and mediocre appreciation of the natural biodiversity is a missing link for a broad and firm public support of the Scheldt nature. For this reason an awareness campaign is set up to point out the beauty, contrasts and difficulties of this area.
The main goal is the recovery and sustainable development of a natural and optimally functioning Scheldt-estuary with its characteristic processes, ecotopes and habitats in a safe and endurable environment.
1. Increase familiarity of nature in the Scheldt estuary with the local public, the business community and the fishery, recreational and agricultural sector. Transform this awareness into social support for conservation and recovery of the qualities of the Scheldt estuary as a water- and ecosystem.
2. Stimulate and support political and administrative decision-making concerning development and management emphasizing recovery and sustainable conservation of the qualities of the estuary.
- Development of a vision for the Scheldt estuary, as basis for political support.
- Development of communication instrument as part of the awareness campaign (18 m long Scheldt-bus, expositions, documentary, TV and radio commercials, Scheldt Weekend Event, flyers, … ).
- Design of infrastuctural measures improving the accessibility and attractiveness of the 3 sites.

Can't stop cryingReviewed on 12/26/2011 Samantha Jo G
After receiving our copies of our video made by Image Harbor Productions, we have watched it multiple times, and each time have been brought to tears by how amazing the video is. I didn't even ask for the producer, Geoff, to include anything specific in the video, and yet each... Read More section of it is beyond anything I could have asked for or imagined. The video includes so much behind the scene footage,that as the bride, you don't get to see, like the setting up of the reception, the bridesmaids and groomsmen walking down the isle, etc. Watching this video is as though we are watching a Hollywood love story. My parents, my husbands parents, and my husband and I are forever grateful for the job Image Harbor Productions did. Having them do your wedding is very affordable, and ABSOLUTELY worth it!!
Samantha,Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We are so proud to have been a part of your wedding day and to have captured it so that you can relive that beautiful days for years to come. Thank you. Geoff

Gianluigi Buffon has stressed the difficulty of being a goalkeeper in Italy, labelling it "the hardest thing in the world".
The veteran shot-stopper has been a constant for the Azzurri since his debut in 1997 and, ahead of the Confederations Cup third-place play-off final against Uruguay on Sunday, has picked up 132 caps.
The Juventus No.1 believes that critics dwell on goalkeeping errors more than mistakes in any other area of the pitch and says that it is particularly tough in his homeland.
"In Italy, being a goalkeeper is the hardest thing in the world," Buffon told Globo Esporte, "because criticism that goalkeepers suffer in general here in Italy is always negative.
"If I fail, they speak for four months about that error. But I guess if they talk so much it is because they are not used to seeing me fail."
Buffon believes that young footballers should not be heavily criticised as it is part of the learning process and also dismissed the importance of behaviour off the pitch.
"I think the young player has the right to make mistakes," the 35-year-old said. "It's with such an error that he can mature and become a man.
"A player off the field can do whatever you want, the important thing is that on the field they give their utmost to help the other 10 players."
Cesare Prandelli chose Buffon, Paris Saint-Germain starlet Salvatore Sirigu and Lazio shot-stopper Federico Marchetti to take to the Confederations Cup and the Bianconeri captain thinks that the Azzurri have always had a trio of excellent options between the sticks.
"Italy have always had three of the best goalkeepers in the world, in each selection and each period of football," he added. "It is a constant.
"Now, when I look back and I think of my career, I see that it was really hard to get hold of the No.1 position for around 20 years"

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
When you say agitate, you mean the drum rotates when no clothes are in it.
Can you manually move the drum by hand when the door is open, and does it feel free (not stiff)?
It sounds most likely the drum belt is starting to fail, this may just need to be adjusted to tighten or need replacing all together.
Can you advise me of the model number of your Bosch washer?
In that case it I would focus on the motor, since it would suggest the motor is running but isnt providing sufficient power to rotate a fully loaded drum, which may be due to failed windings or reduced current served by the PCB.
Have you placed a multi meter on the motor with the back off to see if your getting voltage across the spade terminals when the drum has clothes in it?
The sensor you are referring to regulates the speed of the motor, if this was faulty you would normally be presented with an error code on the display.
If the engineer checks your getting voltage to the motor this rules out the sensor as well, the video here gives a detailed list of diagnostics you can try.
However based on what your symptoms are, if your getting voltage to the motor but its not turning its a faulty motor, if your not getting voltage then it may be the sensor (but highly unlikely since you wouldnt expect it to work when there isnt any load in the drum), and I would be looking at the PCB.
Please let me know if you need anything else clarified.
No problem, appreciate if you can rate the service received today.
Should they (or you) have any further queries after carrying out the fault finding steps please feel free to ask

Aldi is opening a new store in Fort Lauderdale.
The German discount grocery chain is scheduled to open its first Fort Lauderdale grocery at 1707 East Commercial Boulevard on Dec. 19, the Sun-Sentinel reported. Aldi has seven additional locations in Broward and Palm Beach. It first came to South Florida in 2010.
Known for its unusual policies, from requiring a 25-cent refundable deposit to use a shopping cart to not accepting credit cards or checks, Aldi has more than 1,200 stores throughout the U.S. It is not the only prominent grocer ramping up in South Florida. Trader Joe's intends to open at least five groceries in Broward and Palm Beach counties in 2014. [Sun-Sentinel] — Eric Kalis

Comedians Take On Bishops, Church, and GOP Men in Birth Control "Controversy"
The debate over President Obama's proposed birth control coverage mandate got lots of comedic attention even last week, but when the story didn't die over the weekend the comedy treatment got more and more absurd, mirroring the absurdity of religious groups' entrenched, backwards position.
On the Daily Show Monday night Jon Stewart looked positively punchy, as though he couldn't believe the visuals from Darrell Issa's "no girls allowed" panel had been given to him to mock with impunity. While there were no ladies on that panel, he noted some of the men were wearing gowns, "so that's something."
As a deli-meat loving Jew, Stewart also cried foul on the "Kosher Deli" parable that compares mandating institutions to provide insurance plans with birth control coverage to forcing Kosher delis to serve pork. "The parable, while delicious, makes no [email protected]#$%ing sense," said Stewart, munching what appeared to be delicious pastrami.

Later, to mimic Issa's panel, he convened his own all-guy panel to talk women's health: Jon Stewart's old-school "eye on the ladies." Watch what happens when a real lady tries to speak:

Derbyshire's population of 769,700 has grown at a slower rate than that of England and the East Midlands according to the results of the 2011 Census.
Since 2001 the number of residents in the county has increased by 35,100 (4.8%) compared to a 7.9% increase in England and 8.7% in the East Midlands.
Meanwhile, the proportion of pre-school age population has increased slightly while the number of school-age children (5-14) has declined.
And the number of people aged 65+ in the county has grown representing 18.6% of Derbyshire's population.
Other findings from the Census, carried out on 27 March 2011, include:
* The number of people aged 85+ has increased and represents 2.4% of the population compared to 2.2% nationally and regionally
* Children aged up to 14 represent 16.4% of Derbyshire's population – lower than the East Midlands (17.3%) and England (17.7%)
* There are 332,600 households in Derbyshire representing an increase of 7.7% since 2001. This is in line with the increase for England but below that of the East Midlands (9.4%)
* The district with the greatest percentage increase is South Derbyshire (15.9%) in contrast to the lowest in the High Peak (1.7%)
* Of the five East Midlands shire counties Derbyshire has the lowest population increase with Lincolnshire having the highest at 10.4% Derbyshire County Council Leader Councillor Andrew Lewer said: "We receive information each year from the Office of National Statistics which helps us track trends in the country and predict changes which allow us to prepare for the future.
"But the Census data provides us with a more comprehensive overview which is an important tool in helping us plan future levels of service provision.
"We will be studying the more detailed Census figures as they come out to see what implications they have for our services over the next 10 years."
The Office of National Statistics will publish further Census statistics later this year and in October 2013.
Around 25 million households were issued with the Census questionnaire designed to collect information about where people live, what they do for a living, what sort of homes and families they have, their general health, educational attainment and how these factors change every decade. Derbyshire achieved a 96% response rate.

(Because Brenna told me to.)
1. When you walk into a bathroom you find someone squatting over the toilet, peeing on the seat.
2. The dress code appears to be Clothing Optional.
3. Everyone around you is using only their Outdoor Voice.
4. It always ends up being way more expensive an experience than you thought.
5. You arrive well-dressed and optimistic. You end up a weary disheveled mess with unidentifiable scraps of paper in your pockets.
6. There's a girl wearing smeared glittery eye shadow spilling drink down the front of her shirt each time she takes a sip.

Cuckoo for Coco
Out There
by Roberto Friedman
Oh Daniel Day-Lewis, what a madcap spoofer you are! When you won the Best Actor prize at the Oscars last Sunday night, you said that originally, you had been slated to play Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while Meryl Streep was first choice for Lincoln. It was one of the few moments of real wit in a generally witless affair. And you know both actors could have pulled it off.
In the category of "never nominated for an Academy Award, because the Oscars are so goddamn straight," we have: Best Supporting Actress for Miss Coco Peru, for the 1999 picture Trick, featuring her legendary movie-stealing line, "You ever get cum in your eyes? It burrrrrns!" Well, get out the ointment and shout "Hallelujah!" cuz Miss Coco (aka Clinton Leupp) is going to be burning down the house at ye olde Castro Theatre on Saturday, April 6, in her spanking new smash-hit full-length show She's Got Balls. The evening of ballsy comic heat will be brought to us by impresario Marc Huestis, who produced last year's sold-out April Fools with Miss Coco Peru at the Victoria Theatre. The new show recently played in LA, where it was standing room only every night, and marks Coco's solo debut at our own poodle palace, the Castro. Also on offer: a special matinee screening of Trick featuring a compilation of Coco's hot new Internet shorts, and a Coco Peru Look-Alike Contest judged by the diva herself (bring your own cum!). Call (415) 863-0611, ask for the Burning Cum discount – ain't this a classy item? – and get $5 off the ticket price.

Arting around
Had we but world enough, dear reader, and time – and editorial space – we'd bring you full-length descriptions of all our artscapades last week, which included (1) the Architecture + Design Forum 's reception for the exhibition Lebbeus Woods, Architect, at SFMOMA; (2) the screening of Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel at the Castro Theatre; (3) conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier offering Debussy , R. Strauss and Mendelssohn with the San Francisco Symphony; and (4) cabaret artist Benn Bacot essaying Abbey Lincoln songs at the Savanna Jazz Club. Just a few notes follow about all of the above:
Re: 1. We got to hang with some old-school bohemians at the A+D Forum party, and so felt part of a vanishing world. Let's face it, the latest app is not going to save us all from the dwindling hell we inhabit. But about the exhibition: Woods was a visionary architect whose work, mostly unbuilt, continues to be a big influence on contemporary architects and artists. To us, his vision looks like a mix of deconstructivist architecture (like that of, say, Zaha Hadid), revolutionary spatial conception (like that of, say, Etienne-Louis Boullee), and Blade Runner or 2001-style sci-fi urbanscape. If you're at all interested in where buildings might one day go, this exhibition is worth a look-see (through June 2).
Re: 2. Damn, fashionista Joy Bianchi makes a good interviewer (onstage, in her post-screening Q&A with director Lisa Vreeland ), but apparently she was given no time management from the producers for her tete-a-tete with LV. We learned a lot from this, our second viewing of the DV documentary, and even wondered if we should start rouging our ears. Mostly, we sat in awe of the senior Vreeland's fierce will and editorial vision, and we loved how she went toe-to-toe with her publishers at Vogue and Harper's Bazaar . It's never too late to learn from a role model.
Re: 3. We'll let this issue's review do the talking, but we'll just add here that there's nothing in the world like the sound of a symphony orchestra, even in reduced forces, when it's in the hands of a conductor who knows the score. We're rarely disappointed by an evening spent in Davies Hall, and last weekend's concert hit the spot.
Re: 4. Bacot, aka "The Bass of the Bay," and the Bacot Quartet presented For the Love of Abbey, a musical tribute to great American songstress Abbey Lincoln , at the Savanna, deep in the heart of the Mission. Per Bacot: "Abbey Lincoln was one of the first African American female singers to lend her voice to the Civil Rights movement, in 1957. She was one of the first African American women to wear an Afro." Unusually for a "chirp," Lincoln was a singer songwriter, writing her own material when the music she was singing didn't fit the message she wanted to project. Backed by a swinging jazz quartet, Bacot was totally committed to these songs. "The Music Is the Magic," and the spell was cast.
Finally, a Correction: In our Feb. 21 review of the Hamburg Ballet 's performance of Nijinsky , the orchestra was misidentified as the Hamburg Ballet orchestra. It was in fact the San Francisco Ballet orchestra under the direction of the Hamburg Ballet orchestra's principal conductor, Simon Hewett . The B.A.R. regrets the error.

Cody - Vietnam Crew
Damien Cockburn
Vietnam veteran "Four Leaf" Tayback's memoir, Tropic Thunder, is being made into a film. Director Damien Cockburn can't control the cast of prima donnas. Behind schedule and over budget, Cockburn is ordered by a studio executive to get filming back on track, or risk its cancellation. On Tayback's advice, Cockburn drops the actors into the middle of the jungle to film the remaining scenes. Unbeknownst to the actors and production, the group have been dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, the home of heroin-producing gangs.

text: My trigger fell apart... The little pin that hold that metal "cam thing" and spring fell out and I can't find them. I put a screw behind the trigger so it would release the hammer But it made it go full auto and way to fast so is there any way to fix this. I called spider but my warranty was up and they said that I needed to send it in. It kind of irritated me because they treated me like a five year old and I didn't know what I was doing. I know that this trigger thing is a common problem has any body fixed this without the cam and spring or made a cam and is there any way to get those to pieces with out having to buy a whole new trigger??

"Very GOOD"
One of the best books on the history of the scriptures. Everybody needs to have knowledge of the canon of the Bible.
"Too Verbose Not Enough "Big Picture" Bible History"
If you're looking for a concise history of how the bible as we know it came together, you'll be disappointed. In my opinion, the author is an intellectual who uses entirely too many words. After 2 hours, I finally gave up listening. Maybe I'm inpatient, but if an author can't grab my attention from the first or second chapter, I'm not sure I want to read his book. It's definitely not what I would classify as a "good book." I was really hoping to find a decent audio version about bible history, but I guess I'll have to resort to reading, perhaps the book, "The Story of the Bible" by Larry Stone.

Revealed: Games security fortress
By Gary Hughes and Fergus Shiel
Page Tools
Melbourne Girls Grammar School in South Yarra was chosen for its
three street frontages and space to land helicopters.
Photo: Craig Abraham
A multimillion-dollar police intelligence computer system will be one of the cornerstones of Commonwealth Games security operations next year.
The system, using software developed by a private Canberra company, will analyse information and automatically identify links between suspects, known associates, incidents, criminal records, previous court cases, and other intelligence.
Victoria Police will also turn Melbourne Girls Grammar school into its security and command centre for the 12 days of the Commonwealth Games, to be opened by the Queen in March.
The South Yarra private school was chosen because its three entrances make it hard to blockade, it has room to land two helicopters in its grounds, there are facilities to brief up to 400 police at once and buildings are networked with computer connections.
The school will also be the command centre for policing operations during the Games, including traffic control and criminal investigations.
A 24-hour security cordon will be thrown around the school and surrounding streets because of its role in protecting the Games.
According to Victoria Police documents seen by The Age, the new intelligence computer system, codenamed Project Interpose, was successfully tested during the first half of last year by several police units, including the security intelligence group, state intelligence division and various crime squads and special taskforces. The test was so successful that it was decided to keep the trial version of Project Interpose running to help in high-profile investigations.
Victoria Police command agreed to go ahead late last year with a permanent version of Interpose, which is believed to cost more than $5 million.
It is expected to be fully operational by December and will also play a key role in the long-term fight against organised crime.
Internal police documents said the new system and database were urgently needed to provide Victoria Police with a counter-terrorism prevention and response capability for the Games.
Interpose will draw intelligence information from the existing police LEAP (Law Enforcement Assistance Program) computer system, smaller police databases, computerised court records and public records, including published media reports.
Intelligence will also be exchanged with other state and federal law-enforcement agencies. Victoria Police is responsible for overall planning and co-ordination of security for the games, but will be backed by federal agencies including the defence force's counter-terrorist units, army bomb disposal experts, ASIO, the Australian Federal Police, customs and the Department of Immigration.

All Victoria Police leave has been cancelled for the Games, which will bring an estimated 40,000 overseas and 50,000 interstate visitors to Melbourne.
Dozens of VIPs, including the Queen, will be provided with personal protection.
The Federal Government is spending $84.8 million on Commonwealth Games security.
Its security operations are being overseen by the Protective Security Co-Ordination Centre within the Attorney-General's Department.
The department has established a special Melbourne 2006 Security Branch to liaise with federal agencies and Victoria.
ASIO is expected to provide terrorist threat assessments before the Games, and in October a major national anti-terrorist exercise focused on Melbourne 2006 will be staged.
The exercise, codenamed Mercury 05, will involve 3500 personnel, including the Prime Minister, federal cabinet's national security committee and state premiers.
The only public mention of Project Interpose was made by Premier Steve Bracks in February, when he told State Parliament it would help overcome the problems of sensitive information leaking from Victoria Police.
Software to run Interpose is being provided by the Canberra-based company The Distillery, which already sells its InterQuest intelligence products to Federal Government departments and law-enforcement agencies.
Its software was used during the 2000 Sydney Olympics by agencies responsible for national security and border protection and last year it was given a $4 million federal grant to develop a new intelligence management and analysis program.
The Distillery says its InterQuest system "identifies and locates linkages - between people, objects, activities, events, transactions - that are relevant to counter-terrorism and law enforcement".
Project Interpose will give Victoria Police a single, secure, statewide intelligence database for the first time.
The Office of Police Integrity reported this year that there were at least 200 separate intelligence databases within the Victoria Police.
Unlike the existing LEAP system, which police officers have been found to use improperly in some high-profile cases, access to the Interpose database will be tightly restricted and monitored.
Identities of informers, details of undercover operations and the activities of the Security Intelligence Group and the Ethical Standards Department will be protected.
Victoria Police has previously been criticised for lack of security surrounding its intelligence operations after a series of embarrassing leaks.
Following the leaking to The Age six years ago of records of the former Operations Intelligence Unit, the Ombudsman said such security breaches were of "extreme concern".
Project Interpose will run in conjunction with other projects, including Clarendon, which has seen the placement of 150 specialised crime scene investigators across the state.
Police sources have also told The Age a further attraction of using Melbourne Girls Grammar as security command centre was that classrooms and other buildings have state-of-the-art computer networking.
School principal Christine Briggs said there should be no major disruption to school's 950 students because the Games fell during school holidays.
"We will certainly be able to continue a number of the activities that we embark on in holiday time," she said.
The school, in Anderson Street opposite the Botanic Gardens, was well positioned to help police, she said.

For those of us who never went to university, and indeed for many of us who did, the BIS is our ivy-walled campus, the focal point of our intellectual lives. It's a meeting place which allows you to share the company of astronauts and cosmonauts, famous writers, designers of ground-breaking rocket engines, and space enthusiasts of every persuasion.
My son has just been through Fresher's Week at his university, a period of intense social activity designed to make new students feel at home and create opportunities for establishing new friends, many of whom may well become life-long acquaintances. While the BIS can't match a university Fresher's Week, there is a real delight to be had in attending the Society's meetings and events, as can be seen in our article on the recent From Imagination
to Reality event co-organised by Mat Irvine and Jerry Stone:
One of the speakers at From Imagination to Reality was Alan Bond, designer of the engines that will power SKYLON. I have no doubt that my son's generation will live to see the widespread commercial operation of this remarkable British spaceplane. I am equally certain that future generations will also see and participate in the inevitable evolution of the human species, a genetic transformation that must surely come about as an ever larger percentage of humanity ventures into space, to live and work in this demanding environment. Such is the theme of Richard Hayes's column this month, which looks at the radical vectors which human development might take.
If the BIS can be compared to a university, then David A. Hardy is one of its most distinguished alumnae. For a glimpse of what our future in space might look like you only need to examine any of David's famous paintings. I can think of no one better qualified to guide the Society on its continuing "Journey into Space," as David does in this month's issue.
The electronic pages of Odyssey would be empty were it not for the efforts of our regular contributors, such as our expert book reviewer John Silvester, one of the senior Dons at the BIS campus. In Odyssey 21, John turns his perceptive gaze on Rocket Science by Ian Sales, and will soon provide us with an early review of Kim Stanley Robinson's new novel, 2312.
Few can rival Jerry Stone's professorial like knowledge of space exploration. As we continue our tributes to Neil Armstrong, Jerry's erudite views lend weight to the suggestion that Neil should rightly be regarded as the "First Citizen of the Moon."
Like any university the BIS has a library, one which contains many books that simply can't be found elsewhere, either in a book shop or online. So the next time you're at the BIS don't forget to visit the library on the second floor and sign the guest book.
Joining the BIS won't cost you the fees that some students have now incurred. You can join for a far more modest sum. Everyone is welcome at our campus.

Aggression has been classified in a variety of ways. It is important to differentiate between the types of abuse perpetrated, because they may differ in their etiology, course, potential harmfulness, and amenability to intervention. Expressive violence (also known as hostile, impulsive, and reactive aggression) is affect driven. It is triggered by emotional reactions that are disproportionate to the situational factors that elicit them. The triggers may stimulate feelings of hurt and/or fear that are transformed into anger. Expressive violence may be physical or verbal, expressed directly toward an intimate partner; indirectly toward objects, pets, or other people; or even self-directed. The abuse tends to be brief and explosive. Following the violent outburst, expressive aggressors often experience genuine remorse as the tension that fueled the abuse abates, and they are often apologetic. Victims may be harmed by the assault, but expressive aggressors typically stop the abuse at the sign of distress by the victim. While the physical injuries are rarely severe, victims often suffer emotional trauma, and the intimidation they feel depreciates the quality of their relationship with the abuser. Because their remorse is real, expressive aggressors are often motivated to seek and to benefit from intervention.
Expressive violence may be viewed on a continuum, with expressive aggression at one end, predatory violence at the other, and instrumental aggression in between. Expressive violence differs markedly from predatory abuse, which is normally far more destructive. Although a particular act of expressive violence may be easily distinguishable from predatory abuse, it may be harder to differentiate an act of expressive violence from instrumental or goal-oriented violence, as some acts of aggression may be both expressive and instrumental in nature. Of note, some have characterized this continuum of aggression as simply ranging from expressive through instrumental abuse.
Expressive aggressors may respond disproportionately and counterproductively to mislabeled provocations. Learning to label one's experience in problem-solving terms, and thereby to balance one's responses with the intensity of the triggering events, is a core component of the process of developmental socialization. Children who were not exposed to appropriate models or who experienced trauma that exceeded their resources for resilience may not have learned the adaptive coping skills that are needed to weigh the meaning of social offenses and to plan a constructive, problem-solving response. Even when developmental experience does support adaptive functioning, emotional problems such as depression, severe anxiety, fatigue or stress, and use of alcohol and certain drugs can overwhelm coping resources.
When intervening with expressive aggressors, it may be helpful to direct attention to reducing the emotional and situational pressures and/or substance abuse that may weaken the aggressor's ability to manage triggering situations constructively. Helping the aggressor develop prosocial problem-solving skills and the ability to self-manage emotional surges may also prove beneficial. If the aggressor and victim are intimate partners who wish to continue their relationship, both could participate in developing routines that improve the quality of their interaction while building in safeguards, such as time-outs, that protect the victim from future abuse.

2008 National League Playoffs: NLDSSeptember 29, 2008
This year the NLDS could be interesting. The obvious favorite Chicago Cubs play the LA Dodgers in the NLDS and the Philadelphia Phillies play against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Cubs are a big favorite for obvious reasons. They easily had the best regular season in the whole National League. They had elite pitching and hitting. Their starting rotation includes Carlos Zambrano (130 so), Ted Lilly (17 wins), Ryan Dempster (ERA 2.96), Rich Harden (ERA 2.07), and Jason Marquis. They also have a solid bullpen anchored by closer Kerry Wood who is 34/40 in save opportunities. The Cubs also have a great offense including Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Geovany Soto, and Alfonso Soriano.
Don't count the Dodger out though. Their ace is Derek Lowe (ERA 3.24). Another solid started for the Dodgers is Chad Billingsley (16 wins). Their 3rd starter is Hiroki Kuroda who is in his first Major League season. They have two capable closers in Takashi Saito and Johnathan Broxton. Their trade deadline deal to get Manny Ramirez has really helped their offensive production as Manny joined Angel Berroa in winning the NL West.
Don't be too surprised if the Dodgers win a game, or maybe too, but i don't at all see them winning the series against the Cubs. In game one, the Cubs will throw Ryan Dempster vs. Derek Lowe. I think the Cubs will win this game, but if the Dodgers can get to Dempster its anyone's game. I also think the Cubs will win game 2. If the Dodgers win a game, I don't think it will be until the 3rd game. They may win game 3 with their backs against the wall, trying to stay alive. They might even win game 4, if there is one, but i doubt it. It looks like the CHICAGO CUBS are going to move on to the NLCS.
The NL East champion 92-70 Phillies are looking to rebound after last year's 3 and out vs. the Rockies. The first playoff experience for many of the Phillies young players should help them out, and the sweep should have them motivated to beat the Brewers...again. They are coming off a recent 4-game sweep of the Brewers in which they averaged 6.5 runs/gm. and allowed 2.5 runs/gm. The Phillies have a roster with great potential. Their ACE is Cole Hamels (ERA 3.09, 196 so). Their rotation is solid from 2-4 in Myers, Blanton, and old man Moyer. The fifth spot could be a question, however, with the most likely candidates being J.A. Happ and Kyle Kendrick. The Phillies have a high potential bullpen as well. It was the best through the first half of the season, although it had some struggles, especially the 8th inning, later in the season. Their bullpen includes J.C. Romero, Chad Durbin, and Brad "Lights Out" Lidge (41/41 in save opportunities). The Phillies also have a powerful offense with the spark plug being lead-off man Jimmy Rollins. He is followed by Chase Utley, Jason Werth,possible MVP Ryan Howard, Pat Burrell, and the flyin' Hawaiian, Shane Victorino.
The last day 1 game wild card winning Brewers actually made the playoffs after many people considered it to be over for them. They can win games just by their pitching. It seems like every time C.C. Sabathia pitches, it's an automatic win for the Brewers. They also have a good #2 in Ben Sheets, although he has been struggling lately. In 4 games started their game 1 pitcher, Yovani Gallardo has an ERA of only 1.88. Other possible starters are Manny Para, Dave Bush, and Jeff Suppan. In the bullpen they have Carlos Villanueva, Brian Shouse, and their finisher is Salomon Torres (28/35 sv. opp.) In the infield they have Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy, and Russel Branyan. In the outfield they have Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, and Mike Cameron.
Game one will be a matchup between Cole Hamels of the Phillies, and Yovani Gallardo of the Brewers. I think the Phillies will win game 1 with their ace, Hamels on the mound. A big part of the series could be how Brett Myers pitches, who was the Phillies best pitcher for some time after being sent down to the minors, but has struggled in his last 2 outings. The Phillies are hoping he still has his confidence and can get any mechanical problems fixed during the playoffs. If he pitches up to potential, I see the Phillies winning that game as well, unless he is against C.C. Sabathia, who seems to almost always win. I don't think the Brewers will win one game except for when Sabathia pitches, but they could surprise me a little bit by winning a second game. I definitely see the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES winning 3 games before the Brewers do, riding the hot bats of Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins.
It looks like its going to come down to the Cubs and Phillies in the NLDS, but who is going to the world series.....we'll just have to wait and see. But remember, it's not over 'til its over. Anything can happen in baseball and any team can win any game, so don't bet your soul or anything.

A sushi mosaic created in Hong Kong has snagged a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
According to Reuters, over 100 sushi chefs created a mosaic covering an area of 37.57 square meters on Wednesday setting a new Guinness World Record.
Guinness notes that the previous record was held by Lerøy Seafood Group at the Fish Market in Bergen, Norway. That mosaic was 31.59 meters and contained 16,089 pieces of sushi, which is nothing compared to the 20,647 pieces used for the new record.
A sushi chain in Hong Kong attempted to break the record on the restaurant's 10th anniversary. Every piece of sushi was arranged carefully to form and display the number 10, complete with a solid background.
Onlookers were allowed to enjoy some of the sushi after the number of pieces were recorded.
The individual pieces were made with salmon and tuna.
The mosaic was created in temperatures of -4 to ensure that the sushi remained fresh.

Daniel O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker are long time friends and collaborators. Both artists are veterans of the UK experimental underground: O Sullivan as a member of Guapo, Ulver, and Aethenor (with Stephen O Malley), and Tucker with imbogodom and as an eclectic (read: Yeti) solo artist. On their newest album as Grumbling Fur, Glynnaestra, they have crafted an avant-pop album assembled as one would a collage. This structural foundation is built up via an eclectic array of instruments, both acoustic and modified, to pulsating electronic sounds. Add to this mix the pair s entirely modern shamanistic meta-narratives, and the result is a contemporary psychedelic pop delight. Grumbling Fur s world is an innovative one, where every sound contains its own unique story, and is driven by the overarching melody and harmony. O Sullivan and Tucker write pop songs for the sophisticated palate.
The songs on Glynnaestra, have many reference points, from the paean to Blade Runner on the anthemic Ballad Of Roy Batty , to the distant siren song of the ice-cream van on Cream Pool , and even slow burning, molten proto-hip hop on His Moody Face. Mutant electronic rhythms bubble and pop underneath swathes of strings. Glowing at the centre are the duo s unmistakable vocal harmonies, which seem almost telepathically entwined. Throughout, their experimental pedigree shines through, from the mournful cello and guitar of the title track to off kilter percussion of Alapana Blaze.
Grumbling Fur surfaced with debut album Furrier (Aurora Borealis) in 2011. The record was an assemblage from a one-day recording session involving Jussi Lehtisalo of Circle and Pharaoh Overlord and Dave Smith of Guapo, resulting in a suite of psychedelic mantras. The first outing as a duo, Alice, is a session recorded live in the studio for Southern Records' Latitudes series in 2012, and was inspired by a psychoactive houseplant and the rabbit hole therein.
As their history attests, this is a group unbound from the restrictions of traditionalism and unafraid to shed the pretence of pure abstraction. There's a tradition of subterranean Englishness at play, harking back to This Heat's Deceit and Eno's Another Green World. In their first fully realised album as a duo, the process and texture ripple with a kind of electro-gnosis. Glynnaestra herself (an archaic goddess divined by Tucker and O'Sullivan) presides over the record, transcendent and sphinx like: an apt muse for an album of such lovely and powerful music.

Guest post written by Peter Adriaens
Peter Adriaens is a professor of engineering at the University of Michigan, where he focuses on business entrepreneurship in clean tech.
What is Facebook actually worth?
Here's what we know. Yesterday, Facebook filed to raise $5 billion in an initial public offering. The company so far hasn't said how many shares it hopes to sell, or at what price. On the secondary market, the stock recently traded at around $32 a share. Total valuation estimates have hovered in the $75-$100 billion range, but these numbers carry huge uncertainties.
The assumption that a simple multiplier can be used to value the company based on a small fraction of all shares, that the valuation at the time of the last investment will hold true, or that somehow the future cash flows based on growth in advertising or third-party platform revenue can somehow be explained by a P/E ratio leave me wondering about the fundamentals.
These fundamentals include the strength of Facebook's position for value capture, maintaining a sustainable differentiation, and cost/revenue structure assumptions going forward. In a prior piece for FORBES, I indicated that using the two-stage KeyStone Compact developed at the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, Facebook and similar social networking companies are squarely positioned in the high-growth quadrant. The rationale is that Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter exhibit characteristics of a Blue Ocean strategy. This includes rapid scalability, high degree of customer 'stickiness,' and creating and capturing user demand in near real time, resulting in a competitive differentiation that is very difficult to replicate.
The complementary assets tend to be generic, between the server farms, marketing and advertiser relationships. Facebook has even started commissioning servers designed specifically for the company, resulting in the elimination of a potential dependency relationship that might impact cost and margins. The IPO filing indicates that the company managed to reduce its cost of doing business (cost of revenue, advertising, R&D, etc…) from close to 70% of revenues in 2009 to around 50% in 2011. As I indicated in my previous piece, this is much lower than the costs of Groupon (80% range) and Google (67%), because the latter depend on specialized complementary assets and information, which requires significant investment in infrastructure and marketing.
Let's consider revenue structure. On that score, the filing is as interesting about what it disclosed, as what it didn't. We all know about the 800 million-plus users, the grab of 28% of the on-line display advertising market (a 30% jump over 2010), the 18% increase in average pricing paid by advertisers, and the fact that ads make up 85% of the company's revenue. These numbers reflect a very impressive growth rate, and rise in the perceived value in the amount of information gathered about its users.
In addition, we learned that Zynga, which leverages Facebook's platform, contributed 12% to its revenue in 2011, up from 2010. This is encouraging because in the future more third party non-advertising revenue will be needed to sustain the outsized expectations of this company, a topic I'll come back to in a moment. But there are indications future ad revenue may not continue the revenue growth of Facebook.
First, what the filing did not discuss is Facebook's challenges to improve its click-through rate of 0.05%, which trails the industry average of 0.1%. So why would advertisers pay more for an ad on Facebook than on other sites, if the CTR is lower? The answer may be that it is still a good value considering that on Facebook the cost of 'acquiring a fan' for a brand is about $1 (much lower than the cost software for brands), and that ads have more stickiness on account of the 'like' feature among friends.
The staying power of ads on Facebook is three times that on other sites, because customers stay longer on the site on account of the increasing functionality built in the platform. This is why social networks account for 60% of the CTR market, a much higher fraction than blogs or e-mail. The question is how advertisers will weigh the potential value of customer information against the low CTR going forward, and what the company will or can do to improve CTR. This may well increase the future cost of revenue and marketing.

CPI pins down UPA Government on inflationApril 24th, 2008 - 5:21 pm ICT by admin
By Sanjay Kumar
New Delhi, Apr.24 (ANI): Pinning the UPA Government down on the price rise issue, the Communist Party of India (CPI) today said that it is not doing enough to bring the inflation under control.
Addressing a news conference here, CPI General Secretary C.K Chandrapan accused the Government of ignoring the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, which is headed by CPI leader S. Sudhakhar Reddy.
Chandrapan said that as an immediate measure, the Government should announce a ban on futures trading, strengthen the Public Distribution System (PDS) and restore the food quota, especially for the state of Kerala, where the Centre had reduced it by 84 percent.
Chandrapan also charged the Government with attempting to curtail the current Budget Session of Parliament. If this was so, he said it was highly condemnable, as curtailing it would result in key Bills like the Womens Reservation Bill and the Protection of Communal Rights Bill not being passed as promised.
On Wednesday, Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram told the Rajya Sabha that the Government is looking at legal and administrative measures to deal with cement manufacturers and steel producers to contain inflation.
He said the steel producers and the cement manufacturers are to some extent behaving like a cartel.
The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission MRTPC is conducting an inquiry into the allegations of cartelisation and the government would look at legal and administrative provisions to deal with the situation, he added.
"Containment of inflation remains high on the agenda of the government. We have taken a set of fiscal measures and are contemplating some more measures," he said.
He added, Anti-inflationary policies of the government include strict fiscal discipline, rationalization of duties of essential items, effective supply-demand management of essential commodities through liberal tariff, trade policies and procurement through public sector agencies.
The monetary policy of Reserve Bank of India has attempted to contain inflationary expectations arising out of uncertainties in domestic and international environment, he added.
RBI in the third quarter review of the annual policy statement of 2007-08 has mentioned that increase in international prices of oil, food grains and other commodities are due to increase in demand.
The weekly inflation rate of wholesale price index (WPI) stood at 6.7 percent as on March 15, 2008 and reached 7.4 per cent on March 29. However, it has come down to 7.1 percent as on April 5.
On Monday, United National Progressive Alliance (UNPA) and Left parties leaders courted arrest to protest the price rise. They also held a conference to discuss their strategy to corner the Congress-led UPA government over inflation.
UNPA chairman Mulayam Singh Yadav and Communist Party of India (CPI) senior leader A B Bardhan co-chaired the conference, which was attended by party presidents of the constituents of the UNPA and well-known economists.
Earlier, the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, had written to the State Governments, asking them to take strong measures against hoarding, believed to be one of the main reasons for short supply and rising prices. He also asked the State Governments to ensure that there is an adequate supply of food grains.
The inflation rate has nearly doubled since December 2007, but the Central Government said that it could bring it down to five per cent within the next two months. (ANI)

The seemingly indestructible Peter Lehmann (the person) died in June 2013, laying the seeds for what became the last step in the sale of the minority Lehmann family ownership in the company. The Hess Group of California had acquired control in '03 (leaving part of the capital with the Lehmann family), but a decade later it became apparent that Hess wished to quit its holding. Various suitors put their case forward, but Margaret Lehmann (Peter's widow) wanted ongoing family, not corporate, ownership. Casella thus was able to make the successful bid in November '14, followed by the acquisition of Brand's Laira in December '15. Exports to the UK, the US Canada.

He saw his role in the offense diminish significantly as the Ravens shifted away from traditional two-back running sets, and he is unsure that he will be back with the Ravens next season.
"I'm going to sit down with them over the next couple of days," Leach said. "Obviously I wasn't in the offense a whole lot this year. A lot of factors factored into that. I think I can still play in this game. I still got a lot of good tread on my tires."
Leach, 32, just finished his 10th NFL season. He is one of the best lead blockers in the NFL, but opportunities for a hard-hitting fullback are limited in the NFL because of the continued evolution into a pass-first league.
"It is tough for a fullback, but there are still some teams that use a fullback and I think I could play probably another one or two years," he said.
Leach signed his current two-year contract in July, after he garnered limited interest on the free-agent market. The Ravens initially cut him after winning the Super Bowl, but then brought him back on a reduced salary.
When he first re-signed with the Ravens, Leach appeared to have a large role within the offense. As the season wore on and the running game struggled, the Ravens started using more single-back formations.
"Vonta's role changed when we moved the offense away from a two-back foundation early on, and the reason we got away from that was because it wasn't working," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "We started off with a two-back foundation, and we couldn't run the ball well enough to base the offense on the run game. And I think we came to that realization, and we had to move away from it, which took Vonta off the field more."
In the final five games, Leach saw just 33 offensive snaps. He played just 19.5 percent of the offensive snaps over the course of the season. As he cleaned out his locker Monday, Leach indicated that the decision to give him a limited number of snaps was surprising after the Ravens gave him a contract reportedly worth $3.75 million.
"It always crosses your mind, but at the same time you just have to understand that sometimes stuff changes and you just have to roll with the change," he said. "It was very frustrating, but at the same time I was still here, I was ready to go whenever they needed me. Just like I said, it's part of the business. When a team is changing the scheme and changing what they do, you just have to roll with it."
"Vonta's biggest role this year probably was from aleadership standpoint," Harbaugh added. "He was a leader, and I would have loved to have him on the field more, but it didn't play out that way. We planned on him being out there more, but it didn't play out that way."
The Ravens' running game struggled with and without Leach, as the unit ranked 30th in the NFL by averaging 83 rushing yards per game. They also finished last in the NFL averaging 3.1 yards per carry.
"I wouldn't necessarily say that it was one thing that went wrong," Leach said. "There were times when the running backs and offensive line weren't on the same page. There [were] other times where it just wasn't working. We have to go back and overall just look at the things and see what went wrong."
Leach has played long enough in the NFL to know that it's hard for players to anticipate exactly what to expect going into the offseason. Last year he was cut and re-signed over the span of six weeks, and he said that his preference would be to stay with the Ravens.
"If they had a role for me, ideally I'd want to come back here, I want to be back," Leach said. "But I understand that this is a business and you know how it goes."

Valley of the Moon Syrah 2009
Editorial Reviews for Valley of the Moon Syrah
This is candied on the nose with a nice initial burst of wild grape Jolly Rancher, backed by cedar and game notes. There's also a very violet pastille-like quality here. Smooth, pretty seamless in fact, with a palate that express much of what the nose promises, though with less overt candy flavors. This actually has a rather clear and almost elegant palate, a very honest expression of fruit that is a touch simple but tasty and easy to drink. Blueberry fruit pops up on the back end and fades rather quickly on the modest finish. 87pts
Tarry and chocolately with notes of vanilla, dried fruits, smoke, ash, and a touch of diesel. Round, yet fresh and bright, in the mouth with lightly spicy plum and blackberry fruits. This is quite fruit-forward with just a little spice on the backend and a slightly drying, though moderately long finish. 87pts
Member Reviews for Valley of the Moon SyrahAdd your review
Had this at their tasting room. Nice dark color and a fruit laden nose. On the palate this was not a "fruit bomb". Very refreshing with some depth. Finish was short but pleasant.
Tasted this at the winery. It was much lighter than I was expecting for a syrah, but pleasantly so. Ripe fruit aromas, with blueberry leading the pack. Wonderful flavors of dark fruit, oak, leather, and cedar. Much more fruit-forward than other syrah's I've tasted.
Rich berry fruit tones with a touch of smokiness on the nose. Rich and opulent on the palatte with deep, ripe blueberry flavors. Hints of tobacco and cedar, giving way to a long, lingering finish
Three and a half glasses
External Reviews for Valley of the Moon Syrah
This wonderful syrah has aromas of raspberry, blueberry and lavendar with hints of earthiness and spice. It glides across the palate bringing very nice flavors of pomegrantate, fresh berries, and of course, pepper. The finish is long and satisfying.
