Bill Gilman added the Special Hobby Blackburn Roc Mk.I (1:72) to his stash.
Bill Gilman I never learn!
Stashing too many of not-so-easy kits of strangely-looking plane?
Don't you buy the skua a few days ago?
Same disease, same planes, just another scale!
Bill Gilman LOL - yes, I did buy the Skua a few days ago. And I'm proud of it! Really, if you were to put a nice bubble canopy on the Skua it would look rather sleek. As it is, with that square canopy, it looks like a greenhouse on top of a bus!
PS. I also just bought a bunch of Brewster Buffaloes. Now that takes courage!
And don't forget the best: US Navy Yellow wings scheme!
For the skua, I never fought of changing the canopy . But I don't think it will be enough. There's probably something to change too: the way she sits on the ground. Meaning changing the undercarriage, or the wing, or lengthening the fuselage? Well, let' build another plane from scratch, it would be easier.
Bill Gilman I have the Hasegawa 239 Buffalo, which I will do in Finnish markings of Juutilainen, and the Special Hobby kits of the F2A-2 (Yellow Wings), F2A-3 (Defender of Midway), and 339B/E (RAAF or RNZAF Far East), and 339C/D (Dutch). I think it will make a nice little collection. The SH kits look like Sword kits, with really shiny smooth plastic. I've not encountered any other SH kit like that.
Buffaloes have a reputation over here as a "widow maker." But Pappy Boyington liked them, at least the early models. Preferred them to the Wildcat, but he didn't care for the later models with reduced performance due to the addition of armor, self-sealing fuel tanks, etc.
A Fulmar is on my wishlist, but will build a Defiant first. The Roc will need company!

After a little digging, it turned out that the game was the home-brew creation of one Charles Cutting, who I managed to contact through his portfolio pages.
This superbly illustrated version of the game came about after Charlie had been introduced to (and subsequently hooked on!) the game through being lent a copy of the original Games Workshop 3rd Edition of the game, plus all of its expansions by a friend.
"It occurred to me that we would have to give it back to him on his return and so I hit on the idea of a home-made set. I started with the boards and then the cards came next, all done in watercolour and ink.
One day, surfing the internet in my office when I should have been working, I came across a website called Talisman Island (!) with lots of cool resources for new cards. I decided to expand my set accordingly, as I went along. Producing 300+ illustrations is what really got me back into illustration from being a watercolourist and oil painter.
Charlie kindly agreed to allow me show off his creation, and supplied a number of images so that visitors could see the amount of work that went into this project.
You can see that the game is based on the 3rd Edition of Talisman as there is no Inner Region on the main board. This was replaced in this edition by a small deck of cards to simulate the journey through the Wizards's Tower, which was then replaced in a later expansion by The Dragon's Tower.
Charlie has used the dead space after The Causeway for storing the various decks used in the game, which is a great idea!
The images above show some of the better known landmarks in the game, and I think that the artwork is reminiscent of the Polish version of the game, Magia i Miecz.
I especially love the nod to Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail at the Warlock's Cave, and that table at the Tavern looks very welcoming too!
Of course, the game wouldn't be complete without the expansion boards that were released separately as the Dungeon of Doom, City of Adventure and Dragon's Tower.
To finish off the set, the Dragon King that is perched atop the home-made Dragon's Tower is the original plastic model from Citadel Miniatures that was made available separately from Games Workshop's Mail Order Trolls.
The artwork that Charlie has created for the game is a mixture of official and home-brew content, and the illustrations are full of colour and character.
You can see more of the art from the game over on his portfolio pages linked at the bottom of the page.
An added benefit of being an accomplished artist is that you can make any of the miniatures you happen to have lying around into the various characters from the game by drawing them yourself.
The Knight Templar is actually from the Dark Heaven Legends range of figures from Reaper Miniatures, and the character illustration is just perfect!
Take a look at Charlie's portfolio by following the link above where you will find examples of, and links to, his other works in graphic novels and other media.
You will find a selection of his artwork from his Talisman project under "Illustrations > Games".


This section provides details on a wide variety of yoga stretches and exercises used to improve martial arts flexibility, balance and/or for strength training (esp. core strength). Improved flexibility increases the range & power of your kicks, punches and grappling techniques as well as reduces the potential for over-extension injuries (i.e. hamstring pulls). Improved core strength also increases kicking power, punching power and grappling & submission strength.
Yoga is an ancient Indian fitness system that has been used for many years to improve the flexibility of elite athletes and to supplement traditional stretching techniques. According to WebMD, "In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35% after only 8 weeks of yoga". Moreover, since you must maintain a yoga pose for a length of time, yoga is also beneficial for improved balance, coordination, core strength, leg strength, etc. Furthermore, many martial artists use yoga for meditation, enhancing focus and stress relief. Yoga is also useful for older martial artists who want to supplement their martial arts training with greater flexibility drills in order to avoid age-related stiffness.
All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. If you have had an injury or are in pain, please see a doctor before starting any stretching or exercise program. For additional stretches and flexibility exercises, please visit the main Martial Arts Stretching section. Talk to a doctor before starting any yoga program, especially if you have any medical problems.

Is yoga a form of martial arts?
No. Traditional yoga is not a form of martial arts because it does not provide self-defense or combat training. Rather, yoga is an ancient system from India that is used to improve physical fitness traits such as flexibility, core strength, etc. It is also often used for mediation, stress relief, etc. Given the physical fitness benefits (especially improved flexibility), yoga is used by some martial artists in order to supplement their martial arts training. In recent years, we have seen the development of some modern hybrid systems (such as Budokon) that blend martial arts and yoga training.
You can only fight the way you practice.

Manchester United 1994 tactics
goqs06 replied to silv3rf0xx's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
A summary on an article from The Guardian by Rob Smyth (2008): It is harder to distinguish between his three genuinely great sides (1994, 1999 and 2008), but the differences are fascinating to observe. They each have wonderfully distinctive identities: the uber-masculine pack of 1994, who kicked seven bells out of opponents and then nailed seven pints in blockbusting post-match sessions; the intrepid voyagers of 1999, ingenuously exploring uncharted territory; and now 2008's loose-limbed, cosmopolitan collective. In 1994 they had Le Dieu (Cantona?), in 2008 the Holy Trinity (Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo). But in the 1999 they had perhaps the highest power of them all: Roy Keane (yes, we know he was part of the side in 1994, but in those days he was a different player entirely). All three scored 80 goals in their title-winning campaigns (1994 was from 42 games). Yet in 1994 they conceded 38 goals; in 1999 they conceded 37, this year it was only 22. The relationship between attack and defence has certainly changed. Domestically at least, the 1994 side was very hard to break down, whereas the 1999 side emphatically prided themselves on scoring one more than the opposition. They scored as many goals in the Champions League group stages (20) as the 2008 team did all season. But they conceded more in the group stages (11) than this side did in the whole campaign (six). The class of 2008 got to the final on the back of five straight clean sheets, a reflection of the modern ethos. Ferguson's great sides reflect the evolution of English football; it is a mark of his genius that he has been able to mix the austerity that is woven into the game's fabric with the enlightenment that came with the gentrification of the game in the 1990s. That development left most of Ferguson's managerial peers - George Graham, Graham Taylor and Kenny Dalglish among others - as dinosaurs. Such change, and the consequent challenge, sharpened Ferguson's taste for the tactical battle. If his first two great sides were, for the most part, sent out in a straightforward 4-4-2 (or, if you prefer, 4-4-1-1) formation, this team (2008) has no real shape, and in many ways the formation is a 4-6-0. Similarly, just as you could pretty much pick Ferguson's best sides in 94 and 99 - nobody has a clue now. The side that started the Champions League final had never played together before, It didn't help that United missed their main man, Eric Cantona, for much of the 1994-95 campaign (the 93-94 European season was over in the blink of an eye, making it hard to draw conclusions). A talismanic figure, without whom life was unthinkable, has been the essence of each side. Cantona's swagger, class and work ethic not only catalysed the 1994 side but pointed the way for the younger members of 1999 side; when he was banned for five games in the 1993-94 run-in, United's season nearly fell apart. Keane was the endless well of mental strength into which the 1999 side could dip in times of trouble. And now there's the remarkable Cristiano Ronaldo, with his 42 goals, of which an amazing 18 have been the opening, tone-setting goal of the game. For Ferguson, each will have provided a different pleasure. In 1994 there was the thrill of the breakthrough; in 1999 there was a fatherly pride, yet this probably gives him the greatest satisfaction, because he has shown he can achieve things the European way. And, more importantly, because it's the most recent. Le Dieu or the Holy Trinity? Which is Ferguson's vintage team?

A few questions: What is Lukaku's role? Is he a DLF, TM or CF? While the LW usually cuts in, leaving space for the LB, does the RW do the same? Are Mata and Lingard AP or Wingers? What are the roles of Pogba (RPM or Mezzala?) and Fred (DLP? CM?)? I am clear that the DM role is a HB. I've already checked the Editor, he prefers to utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation.
3. The Italian Foxes
sorry dude did i was inactive from FM for 3-4 months as I was studying for my finals which just finished. I've only just got the time to start again, if it inconveniences the community then I'll take up your advice.
5. Dortmund's Renaissance
Ok I've kinda messed up there ... perhaps I'll assign them the support duty instead or play them in the LM/RM strata as inverted wingers. I agree. Although controversial changes like removing "retain possession" and the inability to change team shape, I feel that splitting defensive, transitional and offensive animation instructions will help us understand the game better. Edit: why was "clear ball to flanks" removed?
4. Forest's Mastermind - Brian Clough
I'll be doing it and uploading here soon. Yes, Clark was a former fullback before being converted to a CB.

RIP Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Could Kante be a carrilero since he tends to shuttle around the channels? I'll try that out, it should benefit whoever is in the Vardy role (AF).

The end is in sight for Corentin's Cherry 'Raven' banjo, just need to carve the neck profile and do lots of sanding before applying a finish later next week.
Made a good start on Joseph's Walnut mountain banjo, pot is pretty much ready for sanding. I'll glue the fingerboard and peghead overlay next week so it is ready to work on after Corentin's banjo is finished.

One disruptive startup Exeter can't do without
In the decade since the banking crisis standards in public life have declined while misuse of data analytics to manipulate the economy and elections has been largely unchecked.
Soaring income and wealth inequality, confusion over the role of the public sector and digital media echo chamber effects have helped populists win influence and power.
A democratic deficit is growing while trust in our institutions, particularly among young people, has reached an historic low. Our political system is proving unfit for purpose just as we most need it to respond to a new class of superwicked problems.
These not only require many people to change their views and behaviour, but demand urgent resolution despite there being no central authority to deal with them. The decisions of those in leadership positions are often also their cause.
Local challenges
Exeter sits at the centre of one of the most complex local governance contexts in the country. Half the city's workforce have no say in choosing its council while most public policy is determined by voters who live elsewhere.
Many people cross multiple electoral boundaries on routine journeys between widely distributed home, work and leisure destinations, fragmenting the franchise and making it difficult to keep up with decisions that directly affect their lives.
Yet the city region must confront a cluster of cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder problems covering transport and mobility, health and social care, housing and infrastructure, education and training, and productivity and economic development while addressing community wellbeing, cultural diversity and risk resilience.
In particular, policy-makers seek to position Exeter as a global leader in sustainable living, citing the international standing of the Met Office in climate change research as its credentials. However, many obstacles to becoming a world-class environmental exemplar remain.
Recent Met Office forecasts predict that we are likely to breach the internationally agreed 1.5°C warming limit within four years, reinforcing the need to rapidly reduce our city's carbon footprint. Yet attempts to follow other places and pass climate emergency resolutions that commit Exeter to zero emissions by 2030 have failed.
If reality is to match rhetoric, significant local system change challenges must be met.
Attempts to address such problems are hampered by the way public policy is determined and delivered across overlapping jurisdictions by multiple authorities with often conflicting political perspectives and strategic interests.
Other powerful, yet unaccountable, organisations and actors also significantly influence decision-making which affects us all.
Active participation in civil society is an important remedy for these ills, among others. It critically depends on people understanding complex processes while also being sufficiently well-informed about what is taking place to engage with local democracy and intervene in the interests of their family, friends and communities.
From parliament to parish council the transparency on which active participation depends, and on which trust in government is founded, relies on ready access to accurate, relevant, timely information about who is deciding what on whose behalf and how the bill for these decisions will be paid.
Good quality local investigative news reporting and analysis can address many of these issues by providing a curated source of spatially-specific insight, while also representing the interests of communities and reflecting their cultural life.
It can hold wealth, power and the influence of individuals and institutions to account by scrutinising, investigating and reporting on the activities of government, business and charities and those that lead them.
However changes in the structure, ownership, role and reach of print and digital media have eroded the capacity of the Fourth Estate to perform these essential public interest tasks, and the editorial independence of existing local media titles is at risk from advertisers, owners and corporate shareholders.
An agile new form of journalism has emerged in response to these challenges. More than a hundred independent community news titles have appeared across the UK in the past few years, some online only, others in regular print editions.
All avoid the pitfalls of traditional local media business models to deliver free and open community journalism that has the public interest at its heart.
Exeter Observer is one of them.
An antidote to existing local media models
Exeter Observer is editorially and financially independent, which means we produce and distribute our content without political or commercial bias.
We aim to deliver investigative journalism and in-depth articles rooted in community interest with real relevance and impact while informing and empowering our readers.
We observe industry best-practice principles, are fully regulated, and are enabled by ordinary people who share our mission to strengthen civil society and help people participate more effectively in local democracy.
Help deliver the independent public interest community journalism Exeter needs
Exeter Observer is looking for occasional and regular contributors to help create and deliver our content.
Our capacity to scrutinise, investigate and report depends on having the resources to effectively interrogate information, arguments and the people who put them forward.
You can help sustain our research and writing about the issues that matter and ensure community interest journalism remains a public good which benefits everyone.

Le Pupille: A Complete Retrospective 1987-2007
Le Pupille Saffredi
Le Pupille Morellino di Scansano Poggio Valente
Le Pupille has been on tear of late. I can't think of too many estates that have made such a significant leap in quality over the last few years. This vertical of the flagships Saffredi and Poggio Valente provided a fascinating look at Le Pupille's history and development over the years. I admire proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti's willingness to show every vintage of her two top wines, which is pretty rare in a day and age where producers tend to cherry pick their best vintages for tastings like this one. As good as many of the wines are, there is a major improvement in quality and consistency across the board beginning in 2000.
Le Pupille is located in the south of the Tuscan Maremma, in the province of Grosseto, a region best known for the Sangiovese-based Morellino di Scansano. Geppetti's first vintage was 1985. At the time, Le Pupille was a small winery with just 6 hectares of vineyards and was really more of a hobby than a pure commercial venture. The family had close ties with Giacomo Tachis, who suggested grafting Cabernet Sauvignon onto existing Sangiovese rootstocks. The first Saffredis (1987-1990) were 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the original estate's original vineyard holdings. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrel and the wine was aged in 100% new oak. Some of the early vintages remain brilliant, even if the oak is a bit overwhelming.
Geppetti planted the Saffredi vineyard proper in 1986 with a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante, Maremma's version of Grenache. Tachis continued to oversee winemaking until 1997. Riccardo Cotarella made the wines from 1997 to 1999. For whatever the reasons, this is not a particularly distinguished period in the estate's history. The wines from the 1990s are in general less interesting than more recent vintages. It's almost as if the elegant and rustic elements of the wines are at battle with each other in these years.
Quality and consistency increased noticeably when Christian Le Sommer, former winemaker at Chateau Latour, took over winemaking with the 2000 vintage. Le Sommer introduced malolactic fermentation in steel, which is one of the reasons the post-2000 wines retain incredible freshness, aromatic complexity and nuance. With the 2004 vintage, Alicante was replaced with Syrah. Geppetti's view is that Alicante at times conferred a rustic element to the wines. It's hard to argue with her on that point. From about 2004 onwards, Saffredi has made another major move and is now among the very finest wines being produced anywhere in Italy. Some of that may be related to the elimination of Alicante in the blend, but also the increased age of the vineyards and greater attention to cooperage are all positive factors in the evolution of the wine. Today Saffredi is aged for 15-18 months in 100% new barrels, but the oak is rarely felt. Recent vintages have been nothing less than brilliant.
Poggio Valente is mostly Sangiovese, with some Merlot and a small percentage of Alicante. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel and is aged in French oak barrels (50% new) for 12-15 months, depending on the year. Geppetti purchased Poggio Valente in 1996. The vineyard was planted predominantly with Sangiovese plus some Alicante. Substantial work was required to get the vineyard in shape. Geppetti replanted half of the 15 hectares and replaced the existing Alicante with Merlot. The younger vineyards were used for the first time in 2006. With the addition of the new plots, the presence of Alicante has dropped significantly as a percentage of the final blend.
The 2007 Saffredi is drop-dead gorgeous. Roasted coffee beans, grilled herbs, mocha and dark fruit emerge from this beautiful, textured wine. The richness of the fruit radiates through to the long, polished finish. The 2007 Saffredi impresses for its fabulous balance and soft, enveloping personality. It is another superb effort from proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti. Drinking window: 2014-2027. The 2006 Saffredi is the bombastic, kaleidoscopic wine it has always been. In fact at times it resembles a barrel sample, given its superb vibrancy and freshness! Dark wild cherries, herbs, graphite, spices, tobacco and leather come together beautifully in this focused, powerful Saffredi. Today the 2006 is decidedly virile and youthful, but there is no doubt it has the sheer depth of material to drink beautifully to age 20, and likely beyond. The 2006 is a marvelous Saffredi, but patience is required. Drinking window: 2014-2026.
The 2005 Saffredi is a revelation. Talk about a wine that has developed far better than I had ever hoped. A lightweight feminine wine when it was released two years ago, the 2005 Saffredi has grown into a rich, dark red packed with fruit. The 2005 doesn't have the character or complexity of the finest vintages but it has more than enough depth to drink well for many years. This is a fabulous wine from a slightly lesser vintage that has the potential to continue to improve from here. Pretty floral notes linger on the impeccable finish. Drinking window: 2013-2025. The 2004 Saffredi is utterly captivating. Dried roses cherries, berries and sweet spices emerge from the glass as the wine reveals its gorgeous inner fragrance. The 2004 isn't the most powerful or rich Saffredi, rather it conquers the palate and intellect with inimitable finesse. The silkiness of the tannins, expressiveness of the bouquet and sheer purity of the fruit all have much in common with the finest 2004 Barolos. In short, this is a magical bottle readers should not be without. The 2004 is the first Saffredi in which Alicante was replaced with Syrah. Drinking window: 2014-2029.
The 2003 Saffredi is an excellent choice for drinking today and over the next few years. The heat of the vintage comes through in the wine's richness but there is plenty of acidity and structure to guarantee a number of years of very fine drinking. Stylistically, the 2003 is rather extroverted, particularly in its up-front, jammy fruit, yet all of the elements come together beautifully in the glass. Scorched earth, worn-in leather and spices add considerable complexity to this superb, pedigreed Saffredi. In 2003 Saffredi is more interesting than the estate's Poggio Valente, much of which can be attributed to Cabernet's greater ability withstand the rigors of the excessively hot growing season. Drinking window: 2013-2023. I had high hopes for Geppetti's 2002 Saffredi after being bowled over by the 2002 Poggio Valente. I was not disappointed. The 2002 is a gorgeous, powerful wine laced with dark red fruit, sweet herbs, spices, white truffles and worn-in leather. The 2002 shows marvelous intensity in the lithe, focused style of the year. Notes of mint and crushed flowers add the final layers of complexity. I am not sure the 2002 Saffredi will be as long-lived as the Poggio Valente, but it remains one of the handful of successes in this challenging vintage. The 2002 really blossoms in the glass, so readers should give the wine plenty of air. Drinking window: 2011-2018.
The 2001 is vibrant, rich and expansive, with gorgeous layers of dark cherries in liqueur, menthol, tobacco, leather and licorice. The wine flows with great intensity all the way through to the enveloping, sensual finish. The 2001 appears to be at the early part of its drinking window. Both bottles I tasted showed elements of rusticity, particularly in the bouquet, that worsened with air. Drinking window: 2011-2021. The 2000 is another wow wine. Sensual and elegant through and through, the 2000 emerges from the glass with tons of ripe dark fruit, crushed flowers, raspberries, earthiness, worn-in leather and licorice. It possesses marvelous depth and intensity in its fruit, but with a level of complexity and nuance in the bouquet that completes the wine in magnificent style. The round, enveloping finish makes it impossible to resist a second taste. Drinking window: 2011-2020.
The 1999 Saffredi is an immensely gratifying wine. It could almost be mistaken for a Burgundy, so pure and sweet is the bouquet. The 1999 is a decidedly understated, graceful Saffredi that impresses for its elegance and finesse rather than for its heft. Hints of French oak, smoke, autumn leaves, tar and tobacco add the final layers of complexity. I am not sure the 1999 has much upside from here, but it should continue to drink well for another decade. Drinking window: 2011-2020. The 1998 impresses for its considerable richness. Like so many Italian wines of this period, the 1998 Saffredi shows a determined attempt to extract as much concentration as possible. There is no arguing the wine has aged exceptionally well, but in hindsight many of the subtler nuances Saffredi is capable of are buried under masses of fruit and excessive French oak. Drinking window: 2011-2020.
The 1997 Saffredi is another wine that doesn't develop a ton in the glass. The ripe, opulent personality of the vintage is in evidence, but the wine is rather one-dimensional. Grilled herbs, worn-in leather and spices add a touch of nuance on the finish. Ultimately the 1997 is a pretty boring Saffredi, particularly when tasted within the context of more recent vintages. Drinking window: 2011-2017. The 1995 is an excellent choice for drinking today, as it is fairly mature. Dried flowers, menthol, licorice and plums are some of the elements that come together. Early tertiary, gamy notes are beginning to creep in, while the fruit is drying out, both of which suggest the wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Though a touch lithe and even austere, the 1995 holds its own nicely in the glass. Drinking window: 2011-2015.
The 1994 Saffredi boasts a deep color and similarly intense, rich flavors for a wine of its age. Mocha, roasted coffee beans, licorice and worn-in leather come forth in the glass before the wine starts to lose its focus and energy in the glass. Some rough edges will always remain. The 1994 is another vintage that should be enjoyed within the next few years. Drinking window: 2011-2014. The 1993 is a beguiling, graceful Saffredi laced with plums, prunes, wild herbs, spices and licorice. It possesses gorgeous inner perfume and freshness that frame the fruit through to the elegant, impeccable finish. The French oak confers a level of textural richness and sweetness, but is beautifully balanced in this vintage. At the same time, the 1993 could have been a truly great wine with a more restrained approach to cooperage. Drinking window: 2011-2018.
The 1992 Saffredi, from a challenging harvest, is now fully oxidized, despite its intense color. Drinking window: 2011. Nothing could have prepared me for the 1991 Saffredi. This is a marvelous showing. The 1991 still possesses terrific intensity in its dark, burnished fruit in a slightly compact yet beautifully balanced style. There is a very slight note of excess woodiness that plagues early vintages here, but that is not enough to detract meaningfully from what is otherwise a marvelous wine, particularly at nearly twenty years of age. Drinking window: 2011-2016.
The 1990 is another impressive Saffredi. It is a marvelously rich, hedonistic wine packed with dark fruit, minerals, mint and grilled herbs. The French oak is particularly pronounced and continues to mark the wine to a strong degree. That said the 1990 remains quite youthful, with another decade or more of fine drinking still ahead of it. Personality-wise, this isn't a super complex wine, but it is the most complete of the early Saffredis. Drinking window: 2011-2020. The 1989 Saffredi shows excellent up-front richness. It turns rather delicate and slender in the glass. The 1989 is a Saffredi that impresses for its balance and understated personality. This is more subdued than the boisterous 1990, but equally beautiful. The sweet inner perfume and silky tannins bear more than a passing resemblance to a fine Barbaresco. Dusty cherries, licorice, spices and worn in leather linger on the finish. Drinking window: 2011-2016.
The 1988 Saffredi impresses for its clarity and nuance. Today it is at a glorious peak of expression. Sweet dried cherries, rose petal, mint and licorice are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass. The 1988 doesn't quite have the opulence of the 1990 or the silkiness of the 1989 but it is a finely-knit, elegant wine that has stood the test of time beautifully. The finish is impeccable and vibrant for a wine of this age. Drinking window: 2011-2020. The 1987 Saffredi is now past peak. I tasted two bottles, one of which was in slightly better shape, but not enough to make a material difference. Drinking window: 2011.
Le Pupille's 2007 Poggio Valente offers up sweet red fruit, spices and dried flowers in a fairly restrained style for the vintage. This is a Poggio Valente that emphasizes elegance over opulence. Drinking window: 2017-2022. The 2006 Poggio Valente opens with crushed flowers, raspberries, tar, French oak minerals. This mid-weight Poggio Valente impresses for its gorgeous texture and understated personality, all while showing considerable power in reserve. The wine continues to put weight in the glass as it turns darker and more inward with air. Today the fruit is understandably quite vibrant and fresh. Readers seeking a more complex set of aromas and flavors will want to cellar the 2006 for at least a few more years. This is a fabulous effort from Le Pupille but it needs time. Drinking window: 2014-2021.
The 2005 Poggio Valente has developed into a splendid wine, exceeding my own expectations. Soft tannins and a mid-weight, delicate personality contribute to the 2005's approachability. Crushed raspberries, flowers and spices add the final layers of complexity. The 2005 has enough freshness to continue to drink well for a number of years, even if it lacks the sheer stuffing of some of the very finest vintages. Drinking windowy: 2012-2020. The estate's 2004 Poggio Valente has found its inner balance (and then some) since I last tasted it two years ago. This broad shouldered, expansive Poggio Valente has begun to fill out beautifully, with seemingly endless layers of tobacco, spices, menthol, leather and licorice that add considerable complexity to a core of dark cherries, plums and black fruits. At the same time, the tannins have softened, allowing this wonderfully expressive, extroverted Poggio Valente to show off the full breadth of its pedigree. The finish is long, broad and exceptionally elegant. The French oak is just a touch pronounced, but not enough to detract from what is a splendid wine. Drinking window: 2012-2024.
The 2003 possesses remarkable freshness considering the torrid vintage. Sangiovese dark cherries, wild herbs, tobacco and worn-in leather come together nicely in this delicate, understated Poggio Valente. The 2003 shows wonderful inner perfume, well integrated tannins and a generous, radiant personality. While not the most complex Poggio Valente, the 2003 is superb right now and should continue to drink well for a number of years. Drinking window: 2011-2018. The 2002 Poggio Valente is one of the biggest surprises in this tasting. How proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti made a wine like this in 2002 is frankly beyond me. The 2002 is absolutely singing today. It shows a bit more freshness than the 2003, with a gorgeous sense of harmony in its dark red fruit. There is a level of sheer power and richness in the glass that is a marvel to behold. Earthiness, tobacco, truffles and dark cherries linger on the eternal finish. Drinking window: 2011-2018.
The 2001 is one of the larger-scaled Poggio Valentes Le Pupille has made. Dark cherries, earthiness and smoke are some of the aromas and flavors that come together in this beautiful, layered wine. Though quite open and ripe, the 2001 also has enough freshness to drink well for a number of years. It is a marvelously complete wine. Hints of tobacco, smoke and incense add complexity on the superb finish. Drinking window: 2011-2021. The 2000 is one of the more forward wines in this lineup. Black cherries, herbs, licorice and earthiness are some of the nuances that emerge from the glass. The 2000 has just enough density in its fruit to drink well for another few years, even if the aromas are already fairly advanced. Drinking window: 2011-2015.
The 1999 Poggio Valente comes across as a touch slender. It shows excellent balance, even if the fruit loses some of its persistence with time in the glass. Sweet candied cherries and flowers are woven together nicely on the polished finish. Drinking windowy: 2011-2016. The 1998 is a fairly dark, brooding Poggio Valente. Early signs of oxidation have begun to creep in, suggesting the 1998 is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Hints of leather, earthiness and tobacco add complexity to the fruit, which retains quite a bit of depth for a wine of this age. Drinking window: 2011-2013. The 1997 Poggio Valente is a beautifully balanced wine. Layers of ripe, opulent fruit are nicely buttressed by new French oak in this warm, open Poggio Valente. The 1997 shows marvelous depth and richness, with more than enough stuffing to continue to drink well for a number of years. A seamless finish has the last say in this awesome Poggio Valente. Drinking window: 2011-2015.

WEBWIRE – Thursday, April 5, 2018
Intel continues to expand its vast gaming investments, announcing today that the leading esports brand has signed a multiyear agreement to become an official technology partner of the NBA 2K League*.

Virginia Gov. Youngkin donates first quarter salary to nonprofit law enforcement assistance program
Virginia's Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on Wednesday that he is donating his first quarter salary to a group that provides support to first responders dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Youngkin will donate his first quarter salary, which amounts to $43,750, to the Virginia Law Enforcement Assistance Program which is an organization that's website says is "dedicated to helping law enforcement officers and first responders who have undergone traumatic critical incidents in the line of duty or in their personal lives."
Glenn Youngkin, governor of Virginia, speaks prior to signing executive actions in the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, U.S., on Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022.

Youngkin's announcement fulfills a campaign pledge to donate his $175,000 gubernatorial salary to charity after a long career in investment banking that saw him accumulate a reported net worth of $300 million.
"I pledged to serve our Commonwealth without accepting a salary because I want to continue giving back to the Commonwealth and helping Virginians in every way I can," Youngkin said in a statement. "I have chosen to donate my salary to the Virginia Law Enforcement Assistance Program (VALEAP) because of their important mission to assist law enforcement personnel and first responders who have undergone traumatic critical incidents."

Youngkin added, "This reaffirms my ongoing commitment to support our men and women in law enforcement with mental health resources, training, and equipment to ensure that we are serving those that protect our communities across the Commonwealth."
VALEAP was established in 2008 following the 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech University that left 32 people dead and 17 injured.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin works in the old Governor's office at the Capitol Wednesday March 2, 2022, in Richmond, Va.
"The organization has served more than 500 officers from over 60 Virginia agencies and trained over 150 law enforcement peers to date," the group's website says.

Vacation, How I Love Thee!
So the weather & my work schedule has kind of killed my running this week, plus I did give myself some recovery time after Sunday's halfathon. :) I did get out on Friday for a short, slow 2 mile run before going to work at least.
Yes, it's true. I hadn't read this story before now. I'm not sure why because I do enjoy Oscar Wilde's stories. At any rate, it is a little slow starting off, but quickly gets you hooked. I'm nearly done reading this one and I've really enjoyed it. The idea that one can commit all sorts of sins because their portrait suffers from them rather than you is interesting. What I found more interesting is how much Dorian allows Lord Henry to sway him in everything he does. If he hadn't met the man, how differently his life might have been! This is a story in which I wish Wilde hadn't toned down the homosexual tones – they seem vital to the storyline & as it is written, they are merely hinted at. If you approach the story with the thinking that Dorian & Lord Henry have a romantic relationship, you can better see how the older man can influence Dorian as much as he does.
A novel that promises to be delightfully geeky, mixing classic Greek mythology with modern day programming hackers – how much better can it get for me?! Rivern is the great-too-many-times-to-count grandson of Lachesis (the Fate that measures everyone's life thread) and the story is about how he must try to stop his Great Aunt Atropos from removing free will from all the humans. FUN!
Still working on the mittens for both the manlets' Smitten garlands. I sneak one in whenever I can. LOL I'm also working on the GF's Harry Potter scarf when I can. I was supposed to be working on an afghan as well, but with these projects, I just haven't been able to. I'm not sure if I'll work on it or just give up & buy something instead. I'm seriously considering a Soda Stream – anyone know anything about them?
* So cute! You could use them for ornaments or even gift tags.
Ded. Ded from teh cute. It's sold as a kit, but SO awesome!
Free when you buy another pattern from the Mochimochi shop - SO tiny & cute!
Awesome style Santa from Phoeny - she makes some wonderful toys!

Everyone loves an amigurumi Santa.
Enjoy your holiday time – you deserve it.
*grin* I know that I do! ;) I'm definitely happy to have the vacation time, I can use it after this past year, that's for sure.

Ava Max Weighs in on #FreeBritney Movement, Britney Spears' Impact on Pop
PopCrush Staff Published: March 23, 2021
Richard Dobson, Getty Images
Ava Max is a big Britney Spears fan and, much like most of the folks who watched the Framing Britney Spears documentary in February, she's got a bone to pick with the way the industry treated—and in many ways continues to treat—women.
The "Kings & Queens" star recently caught up with PopCrush Nights host Nicole Murray for an exclusive Zoom interview, which aired on the radio.
When asked about her reaction to the #FreeBritney movement and the documentary inspired by it, which Max revealed she has so far watched "half of," the pop star shared, "I think what she's going through is really sad, but also we don't know the inner workings. We're not there every day in her house, so it's tough to judge."
Calling Spears an icon, Max added, "I love her as a pop star and I want the best for her. I grew up listening to her!"
Watching Framing Britney Spears, however, was hard for Max, who struggled to stomach the awful treatment Spears received by the media and the public in the early-to-mid 2000s.
"Watching that documentary, it's so sad how they treated her, how they treated her in interviews, and how they were talking about her body—grown men," Max said. "That's not okay and I think that should be looked at. All those men that were talking all that crap to her growing up in the spotlight should really get interviewed themselves on why they did that."
"It's not okay to talk to a girl, woman, [anyone] like that," the performer added. "You shouldn't be talking about someone's breasts in an interview. I mean, that was horrendous and it made my whole body get all like, 'Eugh' ... I felt so grossed out watching it."
Max was also asked about the importance of lifting other women up in the music industry—or any industry, for that matter.
"Any woman trying to get into any industry is hard, because I feel like it's [all] very male-dominated to this day. When we see a woman CEO, it's so rare. We need more of them," she said.
As for her advice to women trying to make it in music or any field? Max credits her mom with giving her this wisdom: "Try and have big goals. I think that's the biggest thing, but obviously take it step by step. Finish one step at a time and you will get there."

Leaving work last night, I ran into a bit of a problem when I got to my truck in the parking garage.
The problem? My truck had a flat tire.
Upon a closer look, it was clear what caused this little problem.
Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. I have changed plenty of flats in my day and this one should have been no different. That was until I found out that I didn't have the right tool to take my hub cap off my wheel.
Needless to say, I had to make a call for some help and they came in style.
But also did an awesome job of fixing my tire so I didn't have to mess with the spare.
The only place I can think of that I might have picked it up is the interstate somewhere in the construction.
Regardless, it is fixed and I have a huge thank you that I owe to Dean and Shane from Whalen Tire for stepping up and helping me out when I couldn't even help myself. I appreciate you guys a ton!

Cop Admits to Buying Pay-Per-View Porn on Grieving Family's TV
By Jacob Wallace On 7/19/19 at 7:18 PM EDT
World Police Police misconduct Porn
A police constable may be fired after purchasing porn on the TV of a family grieving the loss of a child.
In February 2018, officer Avi Maharaj was called to a South London property after a sudden death in the family. The homeowner had left and Maharaj, 44, was alone waiting for the undertaker to arrive.
While he was there, Maharaj accessed the homeowner's cable TV account and ordered adult movies totaling £25.96 (about $32.50). According to an investigation by the Independent Office of Police Complaints (IOPC) Maharaj initially denied purchasing the films and may have falsified his attendance log as a coverup.

"Our investigation showed that PC Maharaj was the only person in the property who could have downloaded access to pornographic channels at the time the account was accessed," Sal Naseem, IOPC regional director, told The Guardian.
Maharaj pleaded guilty to one count of fraud on Tuesday and is due to be sentenced on August 6.
Naseem said the constable's behavior was shocking, especially in light of the circumstances.
"Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved, who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member," Naseem told The Guardian. "I am sorry that the family involved had to deal with this while also coping with the tragic loss of their child."
A misconduct hearing, to be scheduled after Maharaj is sentenced on the fraud charge, could cost him his job.
Pornography in the workplace is a problem in other professions as well: On July 12, Tate R. Doom was charged with criminal vehicular manslaughter after allegedly hitting a construction worker. Authorities claim Doom was distracted because he was watching Pornhub on his mobile phone.
His truck allegedly slammed into a pickup truck and trailer, which flew off and struck 59-year-old Vernon Hedquist, who died as a result of his injuries.
An investigation by NBC 4 Washington found a "voluminous" amount of federal workers were watching porn on government-owned computers—including, in some cases, child porn.
Workers from NASA, the Federal Trade Commission, the General Services Administration and numerous other agencies were all caught searching for x-rated videos at work.
One employee at the National Archives searched for porn for 1.5 hours a day at work. Investigators said he used Backpage.com to solicit sex and had sex with a prostitute in a hotel while attending a conference. Nearly 200 inappropriate images were found in an forensic analysis of his hard drive.

Even as we are finishing counting inventory, packing away some Christmas product, and ordering in new product for this spring . . . we are getting ready to participate in the mall's sidewalk sales this weekend 13th-16th! Just like a yard sale, this gives us a chance to clear away some things on our shelves to make room for totally new product. Nothing wrong with the things we will have on our sale tables — might be a discontinued item, the last of a group of items, or some over-stock items. Stop by and check out the goodies we will have out.
In the meantime . . . we've just gotten in an order of glittered prints! If you saw them before Christmas, you probably fell in love with the glittered look of the winter-time prints! This order will most likely be the last of the season because in another 4 – 5 weeks, we will be putting out spring merchandise.
Timer tealight candles are on their way along with lanterns and other items from Hearthside Collection. Check back here to see other new items coming in!
