Well, dark passengers, the wait is officially over – until next week, at least. Season 5 of Dexter kicked off tonight with "My Bad." I had high hopes for the first episode of the new season, I really did, but it pains me to say I'd only give this week's Dexter a B+ after the first viewing.
And trust me y'all, it hurts to say that. Dexter isn't just my favorite show, it's my favorite show of all time.
Why am I being so tough on this first episode of the season? Let's talk about what happened, shall we?
The fifth season of Dexter started us out with a recap of the relationship between Dexter Morgan and Rita Bennett. We spent a few minutes flipping through the early part of their courtship, the proposal, wedding, baby (out of order, by the way) and that tragic final scene of Rita in the bathtub, dead, while Harrison sits on the tile in a pool of her blood. We get just enough of the Trinity scenes to remember who actually murdered Rita.
Don't get me wrong, I get that Rita's death is a big deal that will drive the season from beginning to end, but it was the serial killer mentor thing going on between Trinity and Dexter that led to her death. The moment he didn't kill Trinity in the woods, Rita's fate was sealed. Well, okay, I thought it would either be Rita or Deb early in the season, but later it became obvious that Dexter Morgan couldn't stay "happy" husband and father past the season's end.
Just like season 4 ends.
Unlike the previous seasons of Dexter, no time elapses. We leave off last season with Dexter walking out with a crying Harrison and this season we started with the muted crying of Harrison. We'll learn later that Dexter's already called 911, but in the beginning, it's chaos. Utter chaos.
Someone's trying to take Harrison from Dexter to put him into protective services.
Deb's running onto the scene to stop them.
Masuka and Quinn are in the bathroom, staring at Rita's lifeless body.
Angel and LaGuerta arrive. She's upset – moreso than is reasonable – and yells at everyone to clear out because Trinity is an FBI case.
Speaking of the FBI, they want to question Dexter about why he told first responders it was him. Debra and LaGuerta save him from the questions…for now. He'll still have to answer to the FBI suit later, but for now he gets to leave with Deb and Harrison. Only Quinn takes Dexter's look of shock to be out of place, especially considering how upset the neighbor who kissed Rita is.
Seriously, I know it's an expectation to cry when your spouse dies, but I really don't know if I would in that situation. Sure…heart attack, car accident…tears o'plenty. Everyone expects their spouse to die someday, far in the future. You don't expect to come home to your wife dead in the bathtub, an obvious murder victim, while your son screams in her blood. How do you react to that, really? I'm not serial killer and I think I'd be too shocked to cry…yet.
Anyway. Dexter floats through that night, through the funeral home arrangements, telling Astor and Cody. He's in a cloud of guilt. No one can understand why he's so unemotional. Astor even tells him she wishes he was dead because she thinks her mom, Cody, Harrison and herself would all have been better off without him in their lives.
Meanwhile, Quinn meets Deb at the house once the crime scene's cleared by the FBI. He thinks they're there for clues; instead, the scrub all the blood from the bathroom because Deb doesn't want Dexter to have to deal with it. When they're done, he asks her if she's okay. Finally, Deb breaks down. Quinn's comforting embrace turns into Deb full-on attacking him. He pushes her back after the first kiss, but when does Debt not get what she wants.
So, Deb and my least favorite character do it on Dexter's kitchen floor.
Deb freaks out afterward, asking him not to look while she gets dressed, to put on a sheet or something when he follows her – naked – into the bedroom, where she's picking out dresses for Dexter to look at. Deb continues to be a psycho until she drives out of the scene, leaving a confused Quinn to talk to Elliott about his Thanksgiving lip lock with Rita.
And, really, since Quinn's had a hard-on for Dexter since last season, should we really be surprised that he's listening to the 911 call over and over and running with what Masuka tells him about Elliott and Rita? The only thing that surprises me is that Quinn and Deb didn't hook up two seasons ago. I mean, we ALL saw that one coming.
After getting primal with Quinn, Deb continues running all the funeral errands that Dexter's too catatonic to handle. LaGuerta calls her about Dexter missing his FBI interview/debrief/interrogation. Deb gets home to find the crazy cat lady from downstairs feeding ice cream to Harrison.
You might be wondering if the entire episode was about Debra Morgan at this point. It wasn't. Dexter floated from scene to scene, but spent the bulk of the season 5 premiere remembering his first date with Rita. At first, it seems a little sweet.
Then we learn he picked the restaurant because he was hunting someone, faked a stomach bug so he could first slip outside to stuff the guy in his trunk and then rush back in to throw some money on the table and leave under the extremely poor guise of illness.
When Dexter stops to refuel his boat, he runs into the rudest man ever. He does the only logical thing: follows him into the bathroom and beats him into a bloody pulp with an anchor or 4-pronged hook thingy. (I don't fish or boat…No clue, but it caused much blood to hit Dexter.) As Dexter looks at himself in the mirror, Harry FINALLY makes an appearance to tell him, "That's the first human thing you've done." Then he totally flips the script on everything he said to Dexter last season and lets him know that his children are better of with him IN their lives.
The FBI stalk the funeral, looking for Dexter, who's extremely late. Deb continues her weirdness with Quinn. LaGuerta finally opens up to Sergeant Hubby about why she didn't fight the FBI for Rita's case.
Based on the estimated time of death, Rita was dying while Dexter was witnessing their marriage vows. If he hadn't been there, he might've been home protecting his wife. That's just more than LaGuerta could bear a mere 10 hours after getting married.
Dexter does arrive at the funeral and gives a eulogy. It's not terribly moving, but I think the simple fact he could come up with anything to say after being almost catatonic all episode is some sort of small progress, even if he does take a major emotional back step over Rita's murder.
The episode ends with Dexter's acknowledgment (in voiceover) that he cared about her. End scene.
For me, the episode fell flat. I didn't expect Dexter to be the epitome of grief and normal human emotion, but I did expect him to have some sort of feelings beyond guild and 'oh poor me, I'm such a bad person.' Dude, you're a serial killer. Get over yourself. Now isn't really the time to come unhinged.
Rather than previews for next week, we get a season's worth. Lots going on. Looks like Deb and Quinn will have multiple repeats of getting it on and then Deb's freakout fleeing. Slimy weasel Quinn looks to be helping the FBI determine that Dexter Morgan is Kyle Butler.
I can't wait for next Sunday night. Am I the only one?
That's too funny, Daniel! I was making that same observation to Hubby while they were doing the million close-ups of Quinn. He looks like he's aged a lot since last season…or I'm just hyper critical because I HATE the character for some reason.
I think Season 5 will get better. I remember not liking the first episode of Dexter much last season either. It's like they need a full episode to ease us in before they throw the really cool stuff at us.
I was also expecting this episode to be much better. Don't get me wrong, it was an excellent episode like they all are, but there were just a couple of scenes I thought were not right. The first one is when Dexter set all of his files, personal items, etc…on fire. I might be wrong here, but wasn't that shed right behind the house? He doused that whole place with gasoline and seconds later it was engulfed in flames. But then the scene just ended right there. I would have thought somebody would have confronted him about it. The other scene is just sort of a technical thing I thought they got wrong. It's the scene where he turned that inbred hillbilly's head into a lovely mound of mush. I didn't count, but I'm guessing he smacked his head in at least 6 or 7 times. Maybe more. But take a look at the anchor on the very last wack. Not a drop of blood what so ever. That thing should have been dripping nonstop with blood. And with blood being a VERY important subject in the Dexter series, it should have been caught.
I've said this many times in the past, but I believe Dexter fans would be the best technical advisors they oculd ever get. lol. Oh well, thank you for having this area. Take care.
You know, I thought the same thing at first, too. But he wasn't burning down the shed by the house. Remember in season 4 when Cody fell through the roof of Dexter's shed and he was freaking out about all his stuff? At the end of that episode, Dexter moved his stuff to an empty railroad car. No idea exactly where it was, but I'm under the impression those things are fireproof, so the inside would burn and the outside would be okay.
I can't believe I forgot about that. Was I sorta correct on the anchor? I know it's not really a big deal to most, but when it comes to Dexter and blood…well, you know.
Honestly, I didn't even pay attention to the anchor he was beating the guy with. I was more concerned with the fact that he was getting blood all over him, anyone could walk in, he hadn't prepared the room, wasn't killing as part of the ritual/code…etc. But now that you mention it, I'm going to be on the lookout when I watch the episode again. Having only seen it once, I'm sure there's a lot I missed.
And it was really easy to miss where he was burning everything. I spent the first half of the scene freaking out to Hubby about how guilty he was going to look by burning down the shed next to the house before I calmed down enough to realize it didn't look like the inside of the shed. (My husband probably thinks he's married to a total lunatic.) It was only when I was writing this recap that I remembered he'd moved everything to an offsite location.


Beatrice, a busy 50-year-old manager at an airline in Paris, sounds like she would benefit from France's new "right to disconnect" law that guarantees all employees freedom from their work smartphone and email.
"It often happens that I'm interrupted by urgent problems in my free time, or need to reply to emails out of hours," she told AFP, asking for her real name and her company's not to be used. "No one forces me to do it, but I get work email on my telephone and other managers have the same thing," she added.
Since January 1, French companies with more than 50 employees must work up a charter defining employees' right to switch off. No sanctions are foreseen for non-compliance but an employee could sue for having their rights infringed.
The new labour law in a country famous for its tightly regulated workplace was prompted by the blurring of the boundary between work and private life by new technology and ways of working.
Requests from Beatrice's team of six intruded frequently into a recent holiday, meaning she couldn't switch off as she would have liked. "I could have said 'I don't care', but then it puts other people in difficulty," she confided.
trying hard to cut costs, she says.
The result is senior managers want the same outcome with fewer people.
Yet others believe that it is not simply over-demanding bosses that are to blame for them checking mail during dinner or before going to bed, illustrating the difficulty of regulating how people work in their own time.
Some confess that their own work ethic and ambition spurs them on, or simply a lack of willpower to ignore unopened mail.
Mathilde, a 26-year-old employee of a cultural agency in the Opera area of central Paris, says she over-checks her messages due to curiosity rather than pressure. "If there was an expectation (that I'd reply), then it would make me anxious," she told AFP.
A hard-charging young banker who works on mergers and acquisitions says his employer cuts access to work email for his team from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am every night to prevent over-work. "It's a choice whether you check your phone or not. Telling me I have to switch off pisses me off," the 24-year-old admitted before striding off in his suit.
Peter Fleming, an expert on the workplace at the University of London, says many employees suffer from the "hard-work culture" of their companies, but also an "obsessive attachment to their work identity".
Company-wide policies on disconnecting—whether prompted by the law in France or by companies themselves elsewhere—are therefore welcome and in some cases necessary.
Fleming says the ambitious MBA business students at his university would be instinctively opposed to disconnecting out-of-hours because they would be worried about being judged harshly. "It has to be collective, not individual. If I know that all my co-workers aren't connected, then I might not be too," he said.
People working in the finance, technology, law or health professions are seen as particularly vulnerable to the risks of overload and burnout, but an increasing number of top companies are waking up to the risks.
It is no coincidence that telecom group Orange was asked to help draft France's "right to disconnect" legislation after a scandal over 35 suicides among its workforce in 2008-09.
The company, working with trade unions, drew up new guidance on disconnecting in September, three months before the law came into force, group human resources director Jerome Barre told AFP.
Orange's 150,000 employees now benefit from a promise they will not be penalised for failing to check email out of the office. Everyone is discouraged from sending messages outside working hours.
Managers are being trained to understand that "if a boss sends an email in the middle of the weekend his employees will feel obliged to reply", Barre said. At the same time, no one is prevented from catching up on work at home and the rules contain flexibility for people who work remotely or unusual hours.
"If in my personal way of working it's more comfortable for me to finish something at the weekend, we can't ban it," Barre explained.

Q: Matrix representation of shape operator Let $f$ be a parametrized surface $f: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ and $N : \Omega \rightarrow Tf$ the Gauß map. Then the shape operator is defined as $L = -DN \circ Df^{-1}.$ Now the thing is that $Df$ is a $3 \times 2$ matrix, so I cannot invert this matrix easily. So how do I get a matrix representation for my shape operator?
If anything is unclear, please let me know.

A: The Gauss' map is $\Omega\to\Bbb R^3$ given by
$p\longmapsto \dfrac{\partial_1\times\partial_2}{||\partial_1\times\partial_2||}$,
where $\partial_1=\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}$ and $\partial_2=\frac{\partial f}{\partial w}$.
We can see this map as a vector field $N:\Sigma\to\Bbb R^3$, i.e. an assignation
$
\left(\begin{array}{c}
x\\
y\\
z
\end{array}\right)
\longmapsto
\left(\begin{array}{c}
N_1\\
N_2\\
N_3
\end{array}\right)$. So its Jacobian is
$DN=
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial z}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial z}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial z}
\end{array}\right)$.
Now observe that -by the use of the Chain's Rule- one gets
$$DN(\partial_1)=
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial z}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial z}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial z}
\end{array}\right)
\left(\begin{array}{c}
\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}
\end{array}\right)
=
\left(\begin{array}{c}
\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial x}\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial y}\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial z}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial x}\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial y}\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial z}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial x}\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial y}\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial z}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}\
\end{array}\right)
=
\left(\begin{array}{c}
\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial v}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial v}
\end{array}\right)
=
\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial v}
$$
and similarly
$$DN(\partial_2)
=
\left(\begin{array}{c}
\dfrac{\partial N_1}{\partial w}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_2}{\partial w}\\
\\
\dfrac{\partial N_3}{\partial w}
\end{array}\right)
=
\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial w}
$$
In another hand we have $||N||=1$, then $DN\bullet N=0$, that is, $DN$ is orthogonal to $T_p\Sigma$.
Hence we can construct
$$L:T_p\Sigma\longrightarrow T_p\Sigma$$
$$\partial_1\longmapsto L(\partial_1)=\frac{\partial N}{\partial v}$$
$$\partial_2\longmapsto L(\partial_2)= \frac{\partial N}{\partial w}$$
which is a basis change in case that $\frac{\partial N}{\partial v}$ and $\frac{\partial N}{\partial w}$
are linearly independent.

We conclude that though it was error to have charged in the information a violation of section 496 of the Penal Code because the magistrate, at the preliminary hearing, determined there was no evidence to bind defendant over to the Superior Court, such error was not prejudicial; although there was lack of probable cause to issue the warrant of arrest solely upon the allegations of the formal criminal complaint, the good faith attempt of the arresting officer to attempt to obtain a warrant of arrest, in combination with the personal knowledge of the arresting officer at the time of arrest, constituted probable cause for the arrest.
The defendant was accused by a complaint filed on September 13, 1965, in the Municipal Court of the Santa Ana-Orange Judicial District with the commission of a burglary in violation of section 459, Penal Code. 1 Upon presentation of the complaint
to the judge of that court, a warrant of arrest was issued on September 13, 1965. Defendant was subsequently arrested at his home in the City of Santa Ana pursuant to the warrant in the late afternoon of that day. The arresting officer, one T. Del Coma of the City of Orange Police Department, at the time of the arrest of the defendant in his home, conducted a search of that residence and discovered a quantity of coins and other nuimismatic paraphernalia which he believed to be connected with the burglary for which the defendant was arrested and which he therefor seized. At the time of the arrest on September 13, Officer Del Coma was accompanied by police officers of the Santa Ana Police Department.
Later, and on September 16, 1965, a second criminal complaint was filed in the same court by a different officer which charged the defendant with the commission of two separate and independent offenses. 2 The defendant, who after the first arrest had been admitted to bail, was arrested by officers from the Santa Ana Police Department in the late afternoon of September 16, 1965, pursuant to a warrant of arrest issued on the second complaint. A search of the residence, incident to the second arrest ensued, during which additional coins and other items were seized.
After a preliminary hearing on October 14, 1965, before the judge of the Municipal Court, defendant was held to answer on the counts contained in the complaints charging the respective burglary offenses, but he was not held to answer to the count charging the buying and receiving of stolen property since in the opinion of the judge '* * * at the present time, there is no evidence sufficient to hold the defendant to answer on count two.' This determination on the preliminary hearing was orally accepted by the district attorney's office.
On October 29, 1965, the district attorney filed a three count information, two counts of which charged the respective burglaries
for which the defendant had been held to answer and the remaining count charged the defendant with receiving stolen property in violation of section 496 of the Penal Code on February 2, 1965, the offense for which the defendant had not been held to answer at the preliminary hearing. 3 After defendant's motion under section 995 of the Penal Code was denied on November 19, 1965, the district attorney, by written notice of motion, sought to amend Count II of the information set forth below by deleting from that count the date of the '2nd day of February' and inserting in its place the '14th day of September.' This motion was granted by the court on January 14, 1966, presumably pursuant to section 1009, Penal Code.
After numerous continuances, the matter finally came to trial on July 5, 1966. The defendant, by his counsel, out of the presence of the jury, initially objected to the jurisdiction of the trial court on the second count of the information. This objection was overruled and the matter proceeded to trial on that date. At the conclusion of the week-long jury trial on July 12, 1966, the district attorney moved out of the presence of the jury to dismiss the second count of the information. Asserting the presentation of this count to the jury constituted prejudicial error, the defendant's counsel moved for a mistrial. After argument on both motions, the court granted the motion to dismiss as to the second count, but denied the defense motion for a mistrial. The jury later returned a verdict of guilty as to each of the remaining counts and judgment was accordingly entered. The appeal follows from the judgment of conviction.
In the absence of a contention by defendant that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the judgment of conviction, we must perforce consider each of the appellant's contentions en seriatum.
The appellant objects initially to the jurisdiction of the trial court to entertain charges against him as to Count II which, at the arraignment, the municipal court had specifically refused to bind him over on this charged offense. In this assertion the appellant is correct.
Such an examination, commitment and order of commitment is a prerequisite to the duty of the district attorney to file an information (art. I, § 8, Calif. Const.)
against the defendant 'which may charge the defendant with either the offense or offenses named in the order of commitment or any offense or offenses shown by the evidence taken before the magistrate to have been committed.' (Pen.Code, § 739; see also Pen.Code, § 872.)
Before the affirmative duty of the district attorney arises under the foregoing statutory provisions, the Constitution requires that a person be held to answer in the Superior Court only after a prior determination to that effect by either a magistrate or grand jury. This requirement of a prior determination acts as a safeguard or bulwark against unwarranted invocations of the untrammeled power and authority of the state against the accused individual by overzealous prosecuting officials.
The Supreme Court noted in Parks v. Superior Court, 38 Cal.2d 609, 612, 241 P.2d 521, 523: 'As to the Palmer transaction the magistrate discharged the petitioner [defendant] on the ground that the evidence showed no public offense had been committed. Such a procedure would be contrary to the protection afforded by the constitutional provision and is not within the permissive powers under the code section. Those powers depend on the issuance of an order of commitment. No exception to this dependence may be made because of the circumstance that the defendant in the same proceeding was charged and heard on two separate, unrelated and unconnected transactions. As indicated in the Bird case (People v. Bird, 212 Cal. 632, 300 P. 23), the constitutional provision would be nullified if by this device the district attorney might proceed without first having obtained an order of commitment.
'It follows from the foregoing that in the absence of the required commitment the inclusion in the information of the charge of grand theft based on the Palmer transaction was unwarranted and contrary to the provisions of the Constitution and section 739 of the Penal Code.'
The same result follows herein. While there may be no constitutional prohibition to the filing of an information 'charging a different but related crime shown by the evidence taken before the magistrate bearing on the same transaction involved in the commitment order', [Emphasis added.] (People v. Downer, 57 Cal.2d 800, 810, 22 Cal.Rptr. 347, 353, 372 P.2d 107, 113; Mulkey v. Superior Court, 220 Cal.App.2d 817, 824, 34 Cal.Rptr. 121; People v. Evans, 39 Cal.2d 242, 249, 246 P.2d 636), herein there was a complete absence of evidence adduced at the preliminary hearing to bind defendant over to the Superior Court on Count II. At this preliminary hearing evidence was introduced, which most favorably construed in the prosecution's favor, indicates a reasonable possibility the defendant might have been guilty of the Pulati and Money Vault burglaries, but failed to indicate a violation of section 496, Penal Code [Count II] in the absence of some substantial evidence to indicate defendant 'received' the property or if 'received', defendant's knowledge that the property was stolen. (See People v. Salazar, 210 Cal.App.2d 89, 26 Cal.Rptr. 456; People v. Boyden, 116 Cal.App.2d 278, 253 P.2d 773; People v. McClain, 115 Cal.App. 512, 1 P.2d 1023.) It follows therefore, that the information as to the second count was invalid. (People v. Kellin, 209 Cal.App.2d 574, 576, 25 Cal.Rptr. 925; see also People v. Rosborough, 178 Cal.App.2d 156, 166, 2 Cal.Rptr. 669.)
Defendant urges the arrest warrants obtained and served on September 13th and 16th, respectively, were constitutionally invalid. The attorney general 'concedes that the two warrants for appellant's arrest were defective under the Giordenello-Aguilar test' (sic, Giordenello v. United States, 357 U.S. 480, 78 S.Ct. 1245, 2 L.Ed.2d 1503; Aguilar v. State of Texas, 378 U.S. 108, 84 S.Ct. 1509, 12 L.Ed.2d 723; see also Barnes v. State of Texas, ...

"June 2004 JOE" focuses on the three Commentaries in this issue, particularly on the one from the editor who presided over JOE's transition from paper to the ether 10 years ago this month. "And We've Come a Long Way" talks about the JOE site--a possibility that didn't even exist 10 years ago--and on all of the interesting and useful information you'll find there (especially if you're a JOE author going up for promotion and tenure).
Over 2 million people already use weblogs (or blogs) to voice their opinions, brainstorm, update projects, tell stories, and filter knowledge. Bloggers include journalists, academics, students, librarians, CEOs, and lawyers. Weblogs "underperform" traditional communication media in terms of layout, editing, design and professional review, but they provide immediacy, personal voice, and knowledge filtering, which a growing number of Web users value. Weblogs in Extension offer the potential to promote trust, create new conversations, filter and disseminate knowledge, and build strong internal networks. In the process they will also change who our clients are and how we interact with them.

Futuring has the potential of providing Extension with options for viable change using the anticipatory techniques of: 1) scanning and monitoring the environment; 2) analyzing internal and external assumptions; 3) creating multiple scenarios around emerging issue areas; 4) developing forecasts; 5) writing issue briefs; 6) assuring program champions, faculty and staff are ready to address predicted changes; and, 7) using the results of futuring to inform continual improvement. Let's have the courage and ambition to change yesterday's logic and take a look at the steps needed to adopt anticipatory techniques for Extension.
Michael Lambur, the Journal of Extension editor who presided over the transition from paper to electronic format in 1994-95, recounts some of his experiences during this historic effort. Highlights include how little was known at the time about publishing a journal electronically, how we initially began, reactions to publishing electronically, and recollections about the people involved in the process at the time.
The 4-H Cyber Fair was an attempt by Nebraska 4-H to create a new image at the Nebraska State Fair and to inform members, volunteer leaders, Extension personnel, and the general public about 4-H technology-based programs. The event featured more than 12 Web-based and 12 CD-ROM-based programs developed by and for 4-H. Participants included youth and adults. Some had never touched a computer before, and many didn't have access to the Internet. 4-H Cyber Fair was extended to five counties reaching under-served audiences. Outcomes included observations to assist future youth-adult technology programming.

Changing demographics of rural Extension audiences create challenges to program delivery, and multiple delivery methods may be needed to effectively improve skills and knowledge of clients. We examined the effectiveness of different delivery methods and changes in client skills, knowledge and abilities as a result of a complex, in-depth program, the Virginia Cow/Calf Management Course. Almost 500 producers took the 5-month course. Changes were measured from pre- and post-course surveys. Skills easily employed by the producers were readily adopted. Experiential learning opportunities and written materials had the greatest impact on producers, while Web-based information and discussion groups were marginally effective.
One aspect of the process of technology adoption is "technological learning" (TL), the way farmers gather "information" and turn it into "knowledge." In a study of the New Zealand dairy industry, researchers examined the factors that affect TL. Findings suggest that the speed with which farmers engage in TL is influenced by the efficiency of the innovation system, the maturity of the farm system, and the individual characteristics of the farmer. The article presents a model demonstrating how these three sets of factors may affect TL that can be used by Extension agents to help them develop a strategy for engaging farmers in TL.
In 1998, representatives of New Mexico's chile pepper industry approached New Mexico State University's College of Agriculture and Home Economics for help in gaining the edge on new global competition. The result was the New Mexico Chile Task Force, which brought together industry, university, and government partners to apply the most up-to-date knowledge and technology to industry problems. Key to the task force's success is the search conference format used in the initial strategic planning phase. This method, pioneered by Emery and Trist in the 1960s, brought together parties with divergent opinions and empowered them to develop strategies to manage change.
The article proposes a series of elements that are essential to a positive 4-H Club experience. It builds on a list previously elaborated by the National 4-H Impact Design Implementation Team but complements and illustrates it with the testimonies of 4-H members, volunteer leaders, and parents. The qualitative inquiry was conducted in New York State to draw out the voices of young people and the wisdom of the adults who work with them. The lessons learned can be used to stimulate discussion and reflection in other states so as to improve the quality of clubs everywhere.

Financial exploitation of elders is the fastest growing crime in America, with telemarketing schemes being the prime methods used. The authors developed the Striking Back program, which includes a Leader's Guide, videotape, practice scenarios, and handouts, to make elders aware of the problem and provide strategies for dealing with solicitors. Pre/post knowledge tests were used to determine if learning occurred as a result of the educational program, and a 6-week follow-up evaluation was conducted to determine whether elders had adopted key practices that deter telemarketers. This article presents the program design and implementation strategies as well as evaluation results.
This article documents the dramatic decline in African American participation in the EFNEP and FSNEP programs offered by Los Angeles County Cooperative Extension, although nutrition-related health concerns among this population have increased. The authors conducted a series of key informant interviews and focus groups in African American communities throughout L.A. County to gain insight on how to increase the participation of African-Americans in nutrition education classes. Study findings suggest that specific marketing strategies for African-Americans, including cultural relevance, support teams, food demonstrations, and de-emphasizing the "low income" focus, would help facilitate this goal.

The North Carolina 4-H Teens Reaching Youth through Innovative Teams (TRY-IT!) program utilizes Web-based modules to strengthen and expand teen volunteerism. The research described here investigated teens' assessments of two initial TRY-IT! modules. The researchers developed a written questionnaire based upon eight criteria for evaluating Web-based training and collected data from a convenience sample of 67 teen 4-H members. Participants evaluated each component as above average. Based upon the pilot study findings, TRY-IT! promises to be very effective in engaging current and potential teens in volunteerism and community service through the use of Web-based curricula.

Mixed-mode data collection using a dedicated Web site and traditional paper instrumentation was used to investigate information technology use by county agents of the Florida Cooperative Extension Service. The response to this census was 90.33% (n = 299). Patterns of hardware and software use on the job and self-rated overall IT skills were examined. Agents also self-assessed their ability to perform specific tasks using selected software. Future IT training needs were assessed via a "felt-needs" methodology. Results include significant differences in self-rated IT skills between age groups, a high hours/week of computer use, and a hierarchical list of training needs.
A study was conducted concerning how University of Vermont Extension employees used and perceived electronic mail as an intra-organizational communication tool. The results indicated that "broadcast" e-mail was less likely to be responded to than personalized e-mail, e-mail tone was considered generally more aggressive than telephone conversations, and sent messages have often been misinterpreted. A high majority of respondents reported that e-mail has made their work easier due to more efficient use of time, increased productivity, and 24/7 access, but that spam is an increasing problem leading to reduced employee satisfaction with e-mail.
The study focused on using a general knowledge exam to determine strengths and weaknesses of 4-H youth in six New England states competing at the Eastern States Exposition 4-H Horse Show. One hundred multiple-choice questions were divided into 10 categories with 10 questions per category. Questions were then randomized. Information regarding age, gender, discipline, and years of attendance were collected and had some effect on mean exam scores. The mean score results in each category provided feedback on strengths and weaknesses of each state's 4-H youth. This method may offer a way to track progress over time of 4-H youth.

Life skills are an important component of 4-H Youth Development programs. The study reported addresses life skill development of 4-H members who are 5 to 8 years old (also known as 4-H Cloverbuds). The focus was to explore parents' perceptions of their child's life skills development, program benefits, and activities. Parents interviewed in this study viewed the 4-H Cloverbud program as influential in life skill development, particularly in the areas of social skills, learning to learn, and personal development (self-confidence, self-care, and self-direction). Parents also identified health and diversity as important areas. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

The Diabetes Stepping up to the Plate program was developed to determine the effectiveness of food portion based diabetes education. One hundred fifty-one individuals enrolled in the diabetes series. Food portion knowledge and skills tests, height, weight, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were measured pre- and post-program. Data was analyzed through paired t-tests and correlations. Evaluation showed a decrease in HbA1C, waist/hip circumference, WHR, and BMI, and an improvement in food portion knowledge and skills. Seventy-five participants completed pre- and post-data collection parameters, although more participants completed all classes in the series. Extension can play a role in successful diabetes education.
Evaluation is a central tenet of the Extension mission. This article describes a practical application of how evaluation can improve programming by identifying areas that require more focus. The diabetes education program was quite popular, and basic knowledge showed statistical improvement, but it was not improved enough according to the Extension team. Before moving forward to measure changes in behavior, a good foundation of diabetes knowledge would need to be developed.
After several years of contentious, growth-related public meetings in the county, the Extension educator and citizen-volunteers adapted the National Issues Forums model to produce monthly, locally focused public issues forums. They provide a venue for citizens to learn about and deliberate the emerging and current issues in a non-threatening environment. As a result, public issues education has increased many times over, and citizens are better able to participate in public decision making. Public officials often attend the forum and are willing presenters.

This article reports on a model developed by the Florida Crown Workforce Board in cooperation with the University of Florida' s Welfare to Work Initiative. The model proposes a sustained educational experience that includes a variety of activities to enable welfare transition clients to become employed and self-sufficient. The concept of a Learning Continuum is described, and implications for Extension are discussed.
This article describes the creation of a highly effective program for increasing children's interest in the study of science as a career and as a subject. It provides information about the program's operation and cites evaluation results. In addition, the author offers information on and help with replicating the program.
Kid's Chef School was created to strengthen personal development of youth representing the changing diversity of today's families. It was based on results of county needs assessments indicating a perceived lack of basic living skills in children. Kid's Chef Schools address these needs by giving children opportunities to practice skills as they learn. Learning is accomplished through activities and simulations to teach nutrition, manners, table setting, food safety, hand washing, food preparation skills, and kitchen safety. Program evaluation includes participant and parent evaluation indicating knowledge gain and practice change. Demand for Kid's Chef Schools continues to be strong.
This article describes advantages and disadvantages of online research data collection. Two major advantages are reduced cost and fewer respondent errors and omissions. Two major disadvantages are biases inherent in the data collection process and possible security or confidentiality concerns. Cautions include the need to clearly state limitations in the generalizability of findings and to obtain university IRB approval for the collection of data from human subjects.
University of Florida /IFAS Extension faced with reduced budgets and continued increase demand for services from clientele turned to the use of Web-based interactive video to enhance Extension seminars, day to day communications, and professional development for county Extension faculty and administrative operations. Extension systems including Texas A&M, Kansas State, and South Dakota State have developed the use of Web-based interactive video for Extension programming. Extension in Florida currently operates 30 locations of interactive video sites and continues to explore additional uses.
Resources for competitive horse judging programs are necessary on several levels. While traditional sources such as printed materials and VHS video have thus far sufficed, the need for more current and technological media is prodigious. The 2003 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo Horse Judging Contest DVD is an interactive and educational DVD that provides users with high quality digital video footage of 10 classes of four horses from the 2003 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo Horse Judging Contest. Additionally, the DVD contains official placings and sample sets of oral reasons from a national champion collegiate horse judging team.
Organizations have responded to the increasing prevalence of pediatric overweight by publishing practice guidelines. Pediatric overweight is a medical condition requiring diagnosis and treatment by competent medical professionals. However, the medical community may lack the skills and time needed to help educate parents. Extension education programming incorporating a "do no harm" approach may help prevent inappropriate weight management strategies and reduce parenting stress. The application of successful intervention components helps promote the enjoyment of food and physical activity. The article includes extensive references.
With a growing trend in the number of grandparents raising grandchildren nationally, a demand has been created for professionals to provide some assistance so that grandparents can navigate their way through a variety of family issues, including legal and custody, financial, and parenting skills. Empowering Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: A Training Manual for Group Leaders, by Carole B. Cox, provides a 14-session training workshop program for use with grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Extension, family life, and parent educators will find this manual extremely helpful for use in train-the-trainer programs, support groups for grandparents, and other community education programs.

Invisalign is a series of clear removable appliances that are used to straighten teeth without the use of braces. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of.
Usually aligners are worn all the time but removed for eating and brushing. Every two weeks a new aligner is worn, each gradually shifting your teeth to the desired end result of a beautiful smile and bite.
Invisalign aligners are clear, comfortable, and most people won't even notice you're wearing them!
Dr. Kouvaris was involved with some of the initial clinical studies on Invisalign tooth movement at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco from 1999-2002. Some of the first published research articles on Invisalign came from the University of the Pacific Orthodontic Department, where Dr. Kouvaris trained.
For predictable and advanced Invisalign treatment in Cupertino, you can trust Dr. Kouvaris for that great smile without the use of braces. Dr. Kouvaris is an INVISALIGN ELITE PROVIDER.

January 9th, 2018 NHL Betting Tips
Written by Scott on Tuesday, January 9th, 2018
We had only the one game yesterday and no tips.
The Leafs were up 2-0 after the 2nd only to have the Jackets score two of their own in the 3rd forcing OT. Just past the 3 minute mark of the overtime period Panarin scored to give the Jackets the 3-2 win. I originally had thought about taking the over and it's a good thing I didn't as this stayed below.
A better night of hockey tonight. There are 7 games scheduled but that all depends on the weather.
Blackhawks vs Senators Betting Tips:
Both of these teams have had some high scoring games of late. For Chicago they have had games with totals of: 5, 9, 7, 7, 7 and 7. Ottawa is coming off of games with totals of 9 and 11.
Over the last 10 games between these teams there has been an average of 5.70.
The Hawks are trying to climb out of last place in the Central. It's their uncertainty in goal which is giving them headaches.
The Sens are on a rare win streak. Their 2 game win streak will have them motivated for this game.
Over 5.5 incl OT/SO
Canada: 1.91 Odds at Pinnacle Sports
USA: -115 Odds at Bovada
Everyone Else: 1.91 Odds at Pinnacle Sports
(Odds correct as of 2018/01/09 10:09:21 AM EST but are subject to change.)
Canucks vs Capitals Betting Tips:
The Canucks have lost 4 straight and are 2-10-2 over their last 14 games. Things aren't going to get any easier for them in this game.
The Caps are in 1st place in the Metro. They have won 4 in a row and have won their last 9 games straight in Washington and 15 of their last 17 there.
With how these teams are playing at the moment there is no question as to who I think will win this game. I was looking at -1.5 but it's the 5-5 record against Vancouver over the last 10 meetings that has me a little worried about that. But I am confident enough to go with a regulation win.
Capitals win in regulation
Canada: 1.78 Odds at 888 Sports
USA: -145 Odds at BetOnline
Everyone Else: 1.78 Odds at 888 Sports
Hurricanes vs Lightning Betting Tips:
The Canes were playing some great hockey but have come back to earth going 1-2-1 over their last 4.
The Lightning are in 1st place overall in the league. And now they are returning home after playing their last 5 on the road.
Vasilevskiy had the night off in their last game so he is rested and should get the start in this game and look to improve on his league leading 26 wins.
With the Lightning getting to play at home and a rested Vasilevskiy stating, I like the Bolts chances in this game.
Lightning win in regulation

SAUL ABOVE BOARD
Tuchel hits out at claims Chelsea signed Saul Niguez as agent 'favour' and says he's still figuring out star's strengths
THOMAS TUCHEL has rubbished the idea he wasn't involved in the decision to bring Saul Niguez to Chelsea.
The Spain international is currently on loan at Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid, with the option of a permanent move next summer.
Saul Niguez has found minutes hard to come by at Chelsea so farCredit: Getty
But he has hardly featured for the Blues so far this season, largely sitting on the bench as an unused sub.
Reports in Spain have suggested Tuchel never wanted the player and Chelsea only signed him as a FAVOUR to his agent.
But the German tactician was having none of it as he said: 'A club signing? No, we don't do this. Until now we didn't do club signings and coach's signings.
'We do signings because we decide together because we believe it's a good pick and a good addition to the squad, and this was exactly the case."
Saul started against Watford in the Blues' 2-1 victory on Wednesday but was taken off at half-time.

And Tuchel insisted the 27-year-old just needed time to adapt to the pace of the Premier League after life in La Liga.
He added: "I think every single player needs his time to adapt and Saul needed his time. He competes with a lot of high quality players in midfield.
"We need to understand him a bit better, not in terms of language, but in terms what is his real strength, the detail of the player, what can he add to the squad, where is his maybe unique quality and it was not easy.
"I guess it's the first time he plays for another club than Atletico, he comes from the academy there, and we have to accept the style of the game is so different from Spain to here."

This project is in a very good location, near one of the most important touristic centres in La Costa Blanca.


We enjoyed a wonderful half term at Parkdean's Sundrum Castle near Ayr this October. Priced at less than £300 for the 5 of us Monday-Friday it was a bit of a bargain too and I can't wait to tell you all about our week.
We arrived at Sundrum Castle at around 7pm, the journey took around 3 hours from Northumberland and it felt like we were there in no time. Check in was friendly, quick and easy. We were booked to stay in a Gleneagles caravan and were really impressed with the cleanliness and modern feel. I LOVED how we had two bathrooms, our beds were made on arrival and we had lots of plugs and a decent sized fridge-freezer. We also had a large HD TV and DVD player and central heating throughout. We could park our car right outside and our caravan even had it's own washing machine meaning it is a fantastic option for those with little children. We had one issue with our caravan when we couldn't get the central heating to work on the second day - a quick call to reception and an engineer was with us and had the problem sorted within 15 minutes. Perfect! I really could not have been happier.
As it was way past tea time we were all starving and headed to Sundrum Castle's on-site restaurant - Tom O'Shanter's. There is the option to stay half board at Sundrum Castle for only £14.95 per adult and £9.95 per child, we however decided we preferred the flexibility of self catering.
For £50 we ordered a two course meal for the five of us including a bottle of wine which was very good value (the wine alone was £14). Although the food wasn't anything to write home about, it was hot, plentiful and filled our tummies - it was pretty en-par with what you would expect from a Brewers Fayre pub or Beefeater.
Now that the children are older it is nice to be able to spend a few hours in a restaurant with them rather than having to head to a kids disco every night and we spent the evening excitedly chatting about our plans for the week ahead.
Back at the caravan, the kids went straight over to sleep and we opened a bottle of wine to enjoy with a spot of James Bond on the TV.
After a lazy morning in the caravan we headed over to Star Landers kids club at 11am. Today's theme was Superheroes and the kids truly had a wonderful time designing their own superheroes and then creating a movie with the help of the leaders. If your children are younger than 8 years old, parents do need to stay in the room with them but I didn't mind. I ordered a Costa coffee from the bar and spent an hour reading the newspaper which is something I haven't done in at least a year! We were all invited to a premiere of the kids' movie in the bar that evening and Harry, Heidi and Jack were so excited to show everyone. The kids club staff were as you would expect, excellent with our children and really encouraged their creativity.
After a fun filled morning at Superhero club, we visited Culzean Castle for lunch and ended up staying for the full afternoon. Culzean Castle is around 10 miles away from Sundrum Castle and is such a good place to spend the full day. Our lunch in the Castle restaurant was delicious and highly recommended and our children could have spent hours in the castle adventure playground where they enjoyed playing Kings and Queens.
In the evening we headed to Kintyre's where we watched the kids' superhero movie they'd created earlier in the day and had fun playing some traditional party games.
We spent our third morning relaxing in our caravan, watching movies and playing some of the board games we had brought before heading to The Waterfront for lunch. Set on the banks of the river Ayr, The Waterfront really is a local gem. We enjoyed 2 delicious homemade courses for £10 and the kids meals were excellent too. Highly recommended!
After lunch we headed back to Sundrum Castle where the kids enjoyed the sunshine in the park whilst I caught up with emails (using the free wifi) in the adjoining bar. Heidi joined in with Cheerleader Squad in the afternoon which she thoroughly enjoyed too.
In the evening we had pre-booked tickets to the Heads of Ayr farm park halloween night. The farm park is less than 10 miles away from Sundrum and definitely worth a trip. We had so much fun during the Heads of Ayr halloween night including walking through a spooky forest, meeting a werewolf, discovering a witch's cave and holding various bugs. It was lovely to see everyone dressed up too.
We had planned to visit the Isle of Arran on this day however we had left it too late to book our ferry crossing and it was fully booked! Booo! Not to worry though, we spent the morning in the park swimming pool and then headed the the Robert Burns Museum and Birthplace in the afternoon. This was one of the highlights of our trip and it was fantastic fun for children with lots of interactive areas to discover.
Kids just can't get enough of halloween can they? In the evening we dressed up again and headed to the Kintyre's Monster ball where the kids enjoyed a halloween disco, played halloween themed games and took part in a fancy dress parade.
We thoroughly enjoyed our break at Sundrum Castle. Our caravan was modern, clean, warm and well equipped, it was the perfect base to explore the area and we were able to drop into free (and fun) activities and entertainment as and when. The kids all had a lovely time and Jack was actually crying on the way home when I said it was time to leave.
Looks like you guys had a great time!! The food all looks incredible, can't believe you paid £50 for the 5 of you one night!!
It was the best caravan we've stayed in - who knew washing machine's could be included!
This looks like a lovely break with lots of things to see and do.
Oh yes! Food is always important on holiday and Ayr didn't let us down!
I love your caravan I used to go on caravan holidays when I was younger, not my scene but I loved the beach and taking seaside strolls.
It was fab Laura - definitely a fun half term!
That sounds like a great value holiday and you really made the most of it. Park Dean seem worth investigating for a staycation.
It looks like you had a great trip, with some delicious food. That castle is beautiful!
Looks like a nice family vacation. Am sure you guys had loads of fun.
OMG I loved growing up with parents who owned a caravan, but the lack of washing machine was a hardship when I started taking my own children on holidays there. I always said that with a washing machine and wifi I could live in one.
I'm not one for staying in a caravan, but I was surprised at how nice it was! Definitely time for me to rethink them. Looks like you had a great holiday!
Loads of adventures and fun by the sounds of it.
Fab!! Great caravan!! And always so difficult to photograph.... Lol!!
It's always good to have breaks like these, they are so educational for the kids.
It looks like you had a fab time, and such great value for money as well!

Spencer Rattler Announces Departure From OU
Beverly Cantrell - November 29, 2021 12:33 pm
NORMAN, Okla. (KOKH) — OU's Spencer Rattler has announced his decision to enter into the transfer portal.
Rattler, who appeared in 23 games in his Oklahoma career, had started the season as the university's quarterback but was eventually benched when freshman Caleb Williams took over.
Rattler's announcement comes after head coach Lincoln Riley announced his departure from OU to USC.
Rattler passed for 4,595 yards with Oklahoma and threw for 40 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.
Rattler posted this statement: "Sooner Nation, Thank you for allowing me to be a student-athlete at this prestigious institution. Thank you to every teammate and coach these last three seasons," Rattler said. "At this time, I would like to announce that I have decided to enter the transfer portal to continue my academic and athletic career. Thank you again, Oklahoma. I will miss you."

Position on the use of EU budget support to developing countries.
The European Union (EU) is the biggest provider of budget support and has a longtime expertise in this area, notably through the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) contracts. Over the period 2003-2009, the European Commission made budget support commitments totaling over €13 billion (about 25 % of all commitments)1 and this aid modality represented around 6% of total bilateral aid in 2012.
However, questions about how to improve the quality and impact of budget support are raised by several actors. CONCORD welcomes some aspects of the European Commission (EC) communication, especially the commitments towards greater transparency, improved predictability and the willingness to give a greater role to civil society. However, we would like to draw attention to specific issues that remain of concern to us.

USG Boral Malaysia recently participated in the prestigious Ecobuild Southeast Asia (also known as Ecobuild SEA) 2018 event held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) on 27 – 29 March. This 3-day exhibition event was organised by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia in conjunction with International Construction Week (ICW) 2018.
Participants who attended the event included architects, project owners, main and sub-contractors from both private and government sectors, which proved that the Ecobuild SEA is a reputable and recognised platform in the ASEAN region for the construction industry.
As it was held just a few weeks after we had officially launched Sheetrock® in Malaysia in an exclusive private event, Ecobuild 2018 served as the perfect platform for USG Boral Malaysia to showcase their products to a wider spectrum of audiences. The company took this as an opportunity to once again showcase six systems namely Sheetrock®, EasyFinishTM, Durock®, Maxi SkimTM 88, MarsTM ClimaplusTM and Securock® Glass-Mat Sheathing.
As with most large-scale exhibition events, the space allocated for each booth was quite limited. Despite the limitations, USG Boral still managed to emerge with a unique and eye-catching setup which consisted of a curved wall for Durock®, the perfect finishing for Maxi SkimTM 88 and the anti-sagging performance display for Sheetrock® together with Sheetrock® Unispan ceiling system. Not only that, the company also managed to showcase the acoustic performance of MarsTM ClimaplusTM, wet area drywall system for Securock® Glass-Mat Sheathing and the plaster replacement system for EasyfinishTM.
As a result, this setup enabled the booth to become the center of attention for the night as it stood out from the remaining booths there. The booth prompted many participants to show interest and drop by to enquire more information about the products and systems. Thanks to the creative setup of the booth, the company was subsequently awarded the "Most Attractive Booth" award for the second year running.
USG Boral Malaysia's participation at this year's Ecobuild SEA 2018 event proved to be a success as it enabled the company to showcase various systems and products to the public. This was a huge step towards changing the public's mindset that USG Boral Malaysia is more than just a reputable plasterboard supplier, but a comprehensive solutions provider.

Cafayate: Northern Argentina's Little Big Wine Town
John Oseid
I cover the world of travel with gusto...literally, the world.
There are handfuls of designated wine routes around the world that wine lovers and the curious can follow for hours by car. And then there are some that are out of this world. The drive from Salta to the wine town of Cafayate in northwest Argentina takes more than two hours on a single lane highway and you wish it wouldn't stop as you meander through the stunning red, purple and pastel cliffs of the Quebrada de las Conchas, or, the Gorge of Shells, within the Calchaquí Valleys. Herewith is what awaits you along the way and when you arrive in Cafayate.

First stop, just outside of Salta, the House of Jasmines looks like your grandparents' place, if your grandparents had been hacienda owners. The whitewashed colonial Relais & Châteaux inn is filled with antiques and folksy objects, as are the stand-alone cottage rooms. At La Table, guests dine on grilled beef from the owner's own cattle herd. Sipping wines by the outdoor swimming pool, or horseback or bike riding lands you're surrounded by abundant bird life and copious eucalyptus trees in this 250-acre riverside landscape.
If you're lucky on the hours-long trip south along Ruta Nacional 68 that follows the Río las Conchas to Cafayate, you'll have a driver/guide who is well versed in geology and paleontology, who knows about stromatolites and 15-millon year old fossils found here, as well as who can point out 300-year-old, twelve-foot-tall cardon grande cactus that having once been used heavily for timber became scarce.

In short order, things enroute become real rural real fast, as you'll see with a stop for cortado coffee at the Posta de Las Cabras, a small country eatery on a goat farm. Traveling past Alemanía, a village founded by German immigrants, leaves no doubt how isolated this area once was.

Before long you'll reach a series of lookout points and stunning geological phenomena; were you to stop and hike a bit in all of them, you'd need a full day. They all have colorful names that befit this land of Georgia O''Keeffe and Lawrence of Arabia colors, from the Devil's Throat to the Windows, the Dunes, the Castles and the Obelisk.
At the Anfiteatro, where you half expect a flash flood to come roaring down the amphitheater walls, you'll discover a shady environment that attracts refreshment vendors and guitar, flute and other buskers who take advantage of the spot's fine acoustics. In a sign of the times, you have to wait for selfie takers to clear out to get your own shot of the striking cliffs that surround you.
And then you finally get to the 5,000-foot-high town of Cafayate that is not actually all that old, dating from the mid-19th-century. It's the type of tranquil and lovely place in which, for better or worse, if it were closer to North America, you would expect to find a colony of gringo retirees. Indeed, in that age old game of travel discovery, Cafayate has gotten a much bigger profile of late.
Still, the tiny colonial-looking town has its perfect plaza around which you could stroll over and over to select your favorite cafe, restaurant or bar and peruse artisan shops and kiosks that sell ceramics, textiles and jewelry. You might make your way over to the small Museo de la Vid y el Vino, the Museum of the Vine and Wine.
Then just sit in front of a bar on the plaza and order the bitter Italian spirit Fernet and coke on ice, an acquired taste that is massively popular in Argentina, and just sip and take in the scene.
Between Salta and Cafayate, the Calchaquí Valleys have a hint of a South American Grand Canyon.
Wedged between the Andes and a smaller sierra, the surrounding Calchaquí Valleys region produces not much more than one percent of Argentina's wine output, but the quality of its signature white torrontés is tops. The dry sunny clime is sometimes compared to Portugal's Duero, though wines can grow here at an astonishing 10,000-foot elevation.
In Cafayate, the Grace Cafayate hotel that sits on a wine estate looks something like a high-end condo community and indeed with a grill station out back of your villa rental that looks over vineyards, you might feel like waving to the neighbors to come on over. The property's outdoor pool looks right over vineyards as well, while a popular activity is the empanada lessons at the poolside grill station. The hotel team can arrange for all manner of local activities, from horseback to bike riding.
Drive up to El Esteco winery and you'd think you're on a movie set, with its late-19th-century whitewashed tower looking like something out of a Hollywood ranch movie. Its Patios de Cafayate hotel looks the part as well, from its tiny chapel and courtyards with fountains down to tilework, antiques, and décor that includes lovely framed vintage fashion magazine portraits from the Victorian era. Out back, the view from the pool to the main house looks like the kind of setting that belongs straight out of a modern high-fashion shoot.
At La Rosa restaurant on the patio, you'll enjoy produce from the lush vegetable garden and of course grilled meats. You might sample perhaps the Esteco torrontés that comes from vines planted in 1945 or their Altimus top blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.
Part of the El Esteco winery, the Patio de Cafayate hotel is a fine old hacienda house.
As for the winery itself, some 1,200 acres—on which, curiously, green parrots fly all over the place—produce a lot of torrontés grown in the pergola system. With a mere eight inches of rain a year here at 5,600-feet, the vines are orientated in different directions to reduce heat effects and produce more balance. In the cellar, concrete eggs and large foudre vats dominate, while the handsome Esteco wine shop and tasting rooms are built around a courtyard.
With a main operation just outside of town to the south, the Bodegas Etchart is another century-and a half-old, well-respected winery with many older vines among its thousand acres, half of which are planted in torrontés. Yet, it's an ultra-modern facility that practices sustainable water use and sends its wines, such as the popular Gran Linaje and Arnaldo B lines, to some thirty countries.
Owned by the Minnesota family Malinski, Piattelli Vineyards and restaurant sit outside of Cafayate to the north, hard against the Andean foothills (they have a Mendoza bodega as well). It's a setting which makes their ultra-modern stone facility, whose look seems right out of a California vineyard, a popular outdoor dining venue. Piattelli's Grand Reserve Malbec, Arlene series and many more offerings grow at nearly 6,000 feet.
Just outside of Cafayate town, Piatelli winery and restaurant promise superb views of the mountains.
Swiss-born businessman and art collector Donald Hess produces wines in Napa, Australia and South Africa. In Cafayate, Hess produces the Amalaya label of malbec and torrontés. But travel a few hours north, way up the Ruta Provincial 53, and his Colomé vineyards at 10,200 feet are perhaps the highest in the world. It may be remote and rugged up here, but Colomé not only has a few rooms and restaurant, but also surprisingly the Museum James Turrell, devoted to the works of the famous light artist.
Once you've sated your tastebuds and travel bug in and around Cafayate, you get to do the awesome road trip all over again with a drive through the stunning mini-Grand Canyon of the Quebrada de las Conchas back to Salta for a return flight to Buenos Aires.
Good news: In Argentina you can take wine bottles in your carry-on.
Getting There: Flights from Buenos Aires to Salta take two hours; the drive from the Salta airport to Cafayate is generally between two and three hours.
For much more Mendoza background, along with fine maps, the Wines of Argentina promotional group publishes detailed information on individual vineyards and suggests select vintages.

However, I believe you could make the deck self supporting and run bolts through the veneer to the structure. In that instance the bolts would be serving as positive anchor and not support. On 2nd thought, the positive anchoring has to resist vertical loads per R311.2 so my above idea is incorrect.
