'The Crown' Season 3 : First Look at Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles
11/24/2018 in Drama by Ani Bundel

A new image from The Crown shows one of Season 3's pivotal recreations: Prince Charles' Investiture Ceremony.
Netflix's The Crown is billed as the story of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, from the time she took the throne in 1952 until the present day. The first two seasons stuck to this pretty faithfully. Though Margaret got an episode or two each season, and Charles got his first at the end of Season 2, everything has generally been told from Elizabeth's perspective.
Fans are expecting this to change, at least a little, in the coming seasons, as Elizabeth's children come of age. There's been a great deal of fanfare about the passing of the royal torch from Claire Foy to Olivia Colman in the role of the queen, but there's been just as much focus on the series' casting Prince Charles (The Durrells in Corfu's Josh O'Conner), Princess Anne (Erin Doherty), and Charles' longtime love and future wife, Camilla Parker (Emerald Fennell). Therefore, it should surprise no one that one of the first on-set leaks to go viral from the series is one featuring Charles.
This is also the first look viewers have had from the series of actor Josh O'Conner as the future King of England, and it from one of the pivotal moments the show will stage this year: Charles' 1969 Investiture, the ceremony that made him the official heir to the throne when Elizabeth finally passes.

Both the new Elizabeth and Philip (played by Tobias Menzies) are also visible in the shot, though poor Philip is pushed into the background somewhat.
The 1969 ceremony took place at Caernarfon Castle in Wales, as Charles was being created "Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester." (Technically this was already done by Letters Patent in July of 1958, but Elizabeth waited until he was of age to do the ceremony.) The idea of investing the next ruler of the U.K. in Wales began back in the 1300s after King Edward I conquered Wales, but it fell out of tradition during the 1600s. It wasn't until 1911 that it was revived, as a way to help solidify the monarchy in the face of the oncoming Great War. That investiture, for the record, was for the future King Edward VIII (played by Alex Jennings in the series), who, as everyone knows, then abdicated the throne.
Elizabeth's decision to bring it back in the late 1960s for her son was therefore not without controversy. But it made for great television. And from the looks of it, The Crown, which filmed the scene on location, expects it to do the same for Netflix.
The Queen's hat for her son's investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969 was rather odd, but the Netflix re-creation on Olivia Coleman for "The Crown" looks like a space helmet!! pic.twitter.com/WJoQNTuq0C

As fans have already noted, the costumes here are spot on to what Elizabeth and Charles wore at the actual ceremony, including the Queen's footballer helmet-esque hat. Personally, I cannot wait to see the entire ceremony recreated for the show.
The Crown Season 3 is expected to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2019.

One perennial problem is that many people don't possess the intellectual tools necessary to evaluate information and come to a correct conclusion. By this I don't meant that they have any intellectual defect, just that they are not equipped to process information in order to come to a correct conclusion so they tend to unquestioningly believe what they are told.
It doesn't take much more arithmetic than a knowledge of geometric progression to see the problems with multi-level marketing or homeopathy, but people are taken in by these things daily. Simple logic says that if four people each claim to have the one and only cure for all forms of cancer with mutually exclusive theories about the cause and treatment then at least three of them must be wrong. The difference between weather and climate should be obvious but they are constantly confused with each other. Electromagnetic radiation does not only come from mobile phones and electricity transmission wires but fills all of space. The probability of winning lotto does not depend on the size of the jackpot prize, and a combination of tickets numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is just as likely to win as any other set of numbers. Dairy cattle, merino sheep, wheat, canola and sweet corn are genetically-modified organisms which do not occur naturally.
Reliance on authority is a strange one, where the authorities aren't the majority of scientists but the mavericks and outsiders. Climate change deniers reject the overwhelming volume of evidence (although there is a large political component to their position), Holocaust deniers ignore what almost every historian and death camp survivor says and grasp at minor details, almost the entirety of "alternative" medicine relies on rejection of the work of tens of thousands of researchers and relies instead on research which shows anomalous results but cannot be replicated or on people who claim to have miracle cures that are suppressed by the orthodoxy or on magical beliefs in long-dismissed theories about how the body works.
So has anything changed in the last ten years? In science, it certainly has. When I was writing that first column the Human Genome Project was nearing an end of its mapping of the blueprint for being a human. The Large Hadron Collider has taken us closer to the time of the Big Bang and is showing us tantalising signs that we might soon learn more about the fundamental structure of matter. We came close to the extinction of polio before a setback, but it will happen. And these are just big advances, with thousands more getting little or no publicity. JAMA, NEJM, Nature and Science find new things to publish each week. And children taking the Primary Ethics course in NSW schools are being taught critical thinking.
Am I hopeful that science can continue to chip away at ignorance? I wouldn't waste my time writing this column if I didn't think so. Now for the next ten years.

For many centuries, the Coelius Maior (Celio Maggiore) remained a hill almost completely uninhabited. Flocks grazed here among the orchards and vineyards. On this ancient hill to the left of the ancient Clivo di Scauro, the basilica was built above the house of the brothers John and Paul, very influential court officers, who were martyred for the Christian faith on 26 June 362, at the time of Julian the Apostate (+ 363). This area is unique in the history of Roman archaeology. There are traces of primitive Christian worship together with other obvious vestiges of prior art. After the murder of the brothers, other Christian martyrs there were buried here– Crispo, Crispiniano and Benedetta. The veneration of the holy martyrs of the celimontana came to fruition at the end of the 4th century in the construction of a building ad corpora by the Senator Bizanzio. Then the son of Senator Pammachius (+ 410c.), a friend of St. Jerome, transformed the building into the form of a Basilica magna et valde formosa (large and lovely) as stated in the Itinerary of Salisbury. It was plundered and ruined at the time of the Visigoths in 410, and in the VI and VII centuries it was very frequented by many pious pilgrims. It was also furnished with numerous adornments. The names of the military martyrs were placed in the Roman Canon of the Mass. In Rome there were two other churches named after the martyrs of the Celimontana. One of these was on the Janiculum Hill. The other, with its annexed monastery was built by St. Leo the Great ca. 440, in the area currently occupied by the transept of Saints Martinian and Processo in St. Peter's Basilica.
Two priests, Proclinus and Ursus, had the title of the Basilica during the pontificate of Pope Innocent I (+ 417). Four priests, two of the title of Bizanzio and two of the title of Pammachius, were present at the Roman Synod of 499. According to the catalogue of Peter Mallio, drawn up under the pontificate of Pope Alexander III (+ 1181), the title, at that time, was connected to the basilica di Saint Lawrence Outside the Walls and its priests would take turns celebrating Mass here. The Church was restored several times. Pope Symmachus in the 5th century and then Leo III occupied it. The cult of the celimontana martyrs spread throughout the whole of the Church. A Lector, a certain Massimino, who died in 567 at the age of 20, ministered in this basilica. For centuries liturgical services were provided by a small community of canons (or monks) until the year 1000.
After the damage caused by the Normans of Robert Guiscard a restoration of the basilica and the monastery was ordered by its titular, Cardinal Theobald, at the time of Pope Paschal II (+ 1118). Besides the wear of time, several earthquakes caused significant damage. In addition, the Ionic portico supported by eight columns with Ionic capitals, dating back to the 12th century (built to replace the old narthex), as well as the apse were completed by Cardinal Giovanni dei Conti di Sutri (1216) and by Adrian IV. The bell tower was built in 1115.
Another important and profound renovation took place in 1718 (by the Architects Antonio Canevari and Giovanni Andrea Garagni, from Piedmont), transforming the interior of the basilica to its current form. It was commissioned by Cardinal Fabrizio Paolucci (+ 1719) and changed completely the "open", very bright appearance of the Paleo-Christian basilica. It was a transformation that was begun by Cardinal Philip Howard in the previous century.
The interior of the basilica is large and majestic, divided into three naves by columns and pillars. The floor is Cosmatesque. A few meters from the entrance, in the nave, a marble slab recalls the underground location of the martyrdom. The relics of the holy martyrs are buried beneath the high altar in an urn of porphyry. On the right aisle a sumptuous chapel was built in the second half of the 1800's to house the relics of Saint Paul of the Cross (+ 1775). Along the side aisles are various funeral monuments. In the left aisle, behind the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, there are frescoes dating from the 12th century.
Finally in the early 1950's, thanks to the great generosity of the titular Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York (+ 1967), the facade of the old basilica and monastery were restored to their former glory. The underground complex of the restored Roman houses can be visited through the entrance at the height of the old oratory of the Most Holy Savior, along the Clivo di Scauro.

Moneycorp's platform shakeup adds turf for acquired U.S. clients
By David Heun September 19, 2018, 11:33 a.m. EDT 1 Min Read
Digital transaction network Moneycorp is transferring its 4,500 U.S. customers to an international payments platform that serves more than 14,000 businesses globally.
The single-platform transfer is part of London-based Moneycorp's full integration of Commonwealth FX, a U.S.-based corporate international payments business it acquired at the start of the year —and part of a strategy to expand its U.S. market.
The digital payments platform provides small to mid-size businesses and midcap clients with access to a network of 17 international banks and advanced back-to-back hedging abilities that Moneycorp says is often available only to larger corporations.
Moneycorp provides foreign exchange products and multi-currency accounts across more than seven million customer transactions every year.
"The U.S. market is ripe for growth, and I'm excited for its prospects," David Herrick, who will lead the business at CEO in the U.S., said in a Wednesday press release. "Matching the Moneycorp platform and products with our strong customer service ethos gives us the tools to win in the marketplace."
Herrick will oversee six offices and 80 employees in the U.S., where Moneycorp views its investment as a key part of an international expansion strategy that has already built operations in Brazil, Hong Kong and Dubai in the last 18 months.
"This moment represents a real turning point for our U.S. operations," Moneycorp CEO Mark Hogan said in the release. "We are successfully uniting our global operations on a single advanced digital platform to better serve our multinational and local market clients.
U.S. businesses have relied on traditional banks for too long regarding cross-border banking, payments and FX services, Hogan added. "Merging our U.S. brands makes us the leading choice for customers whether they require bulk international payments or risk management and hedging."
Moneycorp Inc. is licensed across 46 U.S. states.

Ensures properly illuminated photos, and features an integrated hot shoe for addition of an external flash, (sold separately).
I picked up the D7500 over the weekend. I haven't put it through all of its paces yet. I may come back to update this later. But I figured I'd put some quick thoughts together for anyone on the fence. I've been using a D7100 for a few years and so far the D7500 is definitely worth the upgrade. I have already noticed a big difference in image quality and speed, things that are very important to me. I have not tested it with all my lenses and flash. The autofocus has been very good although it's not the same as with the D500. I have yet to test out running children/dogs in AF-C to see how the focus does. I also haven't done extensive low light testing but the few that I took around 800-1600 ISO looked really good. Some things you should be aware of...these are not necessarily "cons" to me but they may be for you: 1. Adobe and Apple have not released updates for this camera yet. Therefore, Photoshop and Lightroom will not import or process the files yet (JPG or RAW). Video files were recognized by my computer and LR5 though. There are workarounds via free software but it's more time consuming. These may be a disruption to your normal work flow as it has been to mine. Hopefully these updates will be out soon as they normally do. 2. The top window is noticeably smaller than the D7xxx series. However, the shutter speed and aperture # are prominent and fairly big. The other info is squeezed closer together and a few things are missing (i.e. file type). But it's all there on the bigger info screen on the rear. 3. You cannot put a battery grip on it. 4. There is only one SD card slot. 5. Battery life is supposed to be a little shorter than the D7100/7200. But again there are some good pros: 1. Best crop frame sensor available now by Nikon 2. Noticeably lighter than the D7100/7200 3. Better in low light than D7100/7200 4. Touch screen functions 5. Can send pics via wi-fi to your phone. I've read a lot about the D500, which the D7500 is sort of the baby brother of. That thing is a beast that can compete with some of Nikon's full frame cameras. However, it's not for me and I suspect many other people: it is big, fairly heavy, and approaching the cost of a full frame camera. It also only has one SD slot (I don't use the other type it has) and doesn't have a built in flash. Yes, built in flash isn't always the best but I'd rather have it than not. For those of us not wanting or needing the D500 or an entry level FF, the D7500 is a no brainer. An alternative is to wait and see what Nikon does with the updates for the D750, D610, and D810, which may be coming soon. It's possible the cost of FF bodies will come down. However, I for one, am not ready for that leap yet and think the D7500 will serve me well for years to come. Hopefully, I don't eat these words once I put it through more testing as my workflow is restored.
I bought this a week or two after it was released as an upgrade to my D7100. While the D7100 has been great, the D7500 is a very worthy upgrade. I considered the D500, the D750, and waiting for Nikon's new full frame releases but ultimately decided crop frame is still right for me at this point. The D7500 is basically the little brother of the D500, which (from what I've read) is incredible and bumped the D7200 as Nikon's new top crop frame camera. However for me, the D500 was too big, lacked a pop up flash, and was almost the same cost as some of their FF cameras. Pros: 1. New sensor (same as the D500). The colors and sharpness are excellent...noticeably better than my D7100. The noise and autofocus are considerably better too. There's also a new group focus point option and auto fine tune that I'm still experimenting with. 2. Lighter and slightly smaller than the D7100. Much easier to carry around. 3. It's FAST!....much faster than my D7100. 4. Rear touch screen that also tilts...comes in handy. Had that in my first DSLR (D5100) and it's nice having it back, especially for video. 5. 4K video and wi-fi/bluetooth. Haven't taken full advantage of 4K video yet but even the 1080 looks better than my D7100. I can now upload pics if I want on the fly (takes a few steps but great option to have). To save battery I leave it on airplane mode until I want to upload. Cons: The main con for me is that the D7500 only has one SD slot. I loved having an extra slot in the D7100...mostly only as a back up when I left my main one in my computer. I only used the 2nd slot during a shoot a few times in 3 years. So, now I have to be more aware of where my card is or keep extras in my bag or vehicle. I've seen complaints about this but many countered (and I agree) saying that 2nd slot rarely, if ever, "saved" a shoot when the first card went bad. Others have complained that you cannot put a battery grip on it. This was not a big deal for me. Nikon also dropped the total megapixels and reduced the monitor resolution from the D7200 and D500. These changes will not even be noticeable to most users. The last thing to consider is some editing programs (Lightroom and Photoshop in particular) have not added this camera profile to their software yet. Therefore, they will not recognize the NEF's or JPG's from this camera. This has been an inconvenience for me b/c to view and edit my photos, I've had to open the RAW files in Nikon Capture NXD (which is free), convert them to TIFFs, and then import into Lightroom where I can then work on the files. It usually takes Adobe some time (a month or two) to do this so I expect an update to be coming soon.
This a really great camera. I upgraded from a Nikon D3400 entry level camera since the lenses I had would be interchangeable. While the D3400 had a higher resolution, the D7500 shots I've taken are so much crisper and have a much great depth of field. I still haven't learned about all the bells and whistles yet but paired with a good lens (Tamron 18-400mm) I feel like I could eventually take professional looking pix at an enthusiast price. I was thinking of the D500 too but it was more camera than I needed. (I'm not a professional/wanna be.) I needed something that would help me take better photos of birds/wildlife, the D7500 does that and more. A couple of down sides: the flash sometimes is annoying when in auto and the weight especially with a telephoto lens is more than I was used to with the really light D3400. I would also not upgrade to this camera if I had the D7200. I'm really glad I upgraded because the fast shutter speed, the 10 fps and the great and quick auto focus all make the D7500 a best buy.
I've been a Nikon shooter since before digital. Nothing in my humble opinion compares to Nikon. This camera replaced my Nikon D7100, which is still a very capable camera, but the D7500 is several steps ahead. With fewer (but larger pixels), this camera shoots with stunning clarity. It's faster with 8 FPS continuous and the inclusion of what makes the top end D500 such a great camera, is also shared with the D7500. I love how this camera weighs fractionally less than the D7100, but has a more weather sealed body and the inclusion of an articulated screen is a nice addition. This camera sacrifices one memory card slot, but with memory so inexpensive these days, a 128 GB card will hold more photos than I could possibly take at one time. It's also a great addition that this camera is fully Bluetooth and Wifi enabled and communicates easily to Nikon apps to quickly and seamlessly transfer your pictures to your mobile device. This is a great addition to the Nikon lineup and is perfect for someone who is looking for something that will challenge their creative abilities more than the less expensive gear, but won't break the bank like their top end gear.
Moved up from a D5500 and am enjoying the additional 3 frames per sec (to 8), better high-iso performance in lower light and additional ability to access frequently used functions more quickly. The negatives most commonly cited (single card slot & no vertical grip) were not issues for me. Also, considered the d7200 but the D7500 just felt more comfortable in my hands (the deeper grip is really nice) and handling it felt more "natural" for me. I have tested the camera's iso-performance up to 12,800 in indoor lighting at some events and have been very pleased with the JPEGs rendered (haven't tested RAW yet) - compared to my D5500 (which already performs well in low-light), I seem to be getting 1 or 2 stops of additional ISO performance to get images of comparable noise & "quality" (just my unscientific observations). If you're looking to upgrade from a d3xxx or d5xxx series, it'll definitely be worth it. If you already have a d7200, I'm honestly not sure - there are enough professional reviews out there that comment on this topic so my opinion wouldn't be worth much. If you want a D500 but can't justify the cost, I think the D7500 would be a satisfying compromise.
The D7500 has the heart of the DX flagship 500, but is less weight, has a built in flash, and is, of course, less money. Most of the criticism of this model is about Nikon dropping the dual card slots that the previous 7000 series models offered. (The D500 does have dual cards.) That is a complete non-issue to me, but your milage may vary. Also, although the sensor is the same as the D500 and so low light performance should be at the same excellent level, the focus system is not as advanced. It would have been considered state of the art until the latest models, and unless you are photographing fast moving subjects, I don't think you will find it lacks anything. I started taking pictures with film cameras with manual focus and light meters, so although the automatic modes are great for fast stuff, I still have no issues with focusing manually and consulting the light meter, and my experience, for the exposure. Overall, a wonderful camera and the latest of the Nikon "enthusiast" lineup.
First a background... I am a Pentaxian and will always be a Pentaxian. I love my Pentax DSLRs. I wanted to try Nikon so I purchased the D7500 at Best Buy. Overall, I think it's a great camera. I own the top of the line professional Pentax DSLR (the K-1)so I will not compare it with the mid-level Nikon D7500. But just looking and using this camera for what it is, it's pretty solid. I paired it with a Nikon 200-500mm VR lens. Yes ithe D7500 only has one SD card slot..so what. It's not a deal breaker, takes 10 secs to place a new SD card. So it has far less shots it can take with the fully charged En-EL15a battery than the Nikon D7200..solution: purchase a back-up battery. So it has only 20MP vs a Nikon D7200...who cares. End of the day, no one will notice it. Buy the Nikon D7500, you will love it.
Volunteered to photograph my son's freshman football team - knew I needed to upgrade my gear. Read many reviews, tested a few, and then I took a leap and spent more than I planned - haven't looked back since. The D7500 does not disappoint! It delivers amazing images. They are rich, vibrant, and professional; ergonomics are great. To date, I have only used it for sports photography, but it will be my primary camera from here on out. Get this camera, you will not regret it. BTW, I've been asked to shoot JV and Varsity now too (maybe this camera is too good).
The analysis of all aggregated expert reviews shows that the reviewers are positive about glare, low-light, viewfinder and reliability. Editors are less positive about storage and memory. Using an algorithm based on product age, reviewers ratings history, popularity, product category expertise and other factors, this product gets an alaTest Expert Rating of 94/100 = Excellent quality.
Q: Do the D7500 have a compatible app that can be used to control the camera from mobile device (Android), Like the ability of allows me to tag where my photos were taken ( GPS technology feature).
Best answer: The Nikon D7500 DSLR camera uses SnapBridge technology for instant transfer of images to any compatible Android or Apple smart device running the SnapBridge application. GPS information can be added to the image through the SnapBridge app.
Q: I have a Nikon D5200 that I have used for 3 years. I would like to step up to the D7500. Are my lenses compatible with the D7500? Will there be a big difference in the 2 cameras like adapting from one to the other?
Best answer: Nikon/NIKKOR lenses that are compatible with the D5200 will also be compatible with the D7500. While the D7500 has numerous advanced features that are not available in the D5200, it also features the Auto Shooting Modes and Scene Modes that make the D5200 fun and easy to use, so it shouldn't be hard to adjust to your new camera. If you use Scene Modes then check out this page for info on how to enable them in the D7500: http://onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/d7500/en/07_scene_mode_01.html . The D7500's page on the Nikon Download center includes our most updated D7500 documentation, including detailed information on pairing your camera to Nikon's SnapBridge app: http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/352/D7500.html . If you have any questions regarding using your new D7500 please contact Nikon Support at 1-800-NikonUS!
Q: Will lens from my D50 (VR 70-300 & DX 18-135) work with the new Nikon 7500?
Best answer: The Nikon D7500 DSLR camera is fully compatible with AF-P, AF-S, AI, AF and E-type lenses. Any one of those types of lenses will work beautifully with this camera body.
Best answer: The Nikon D7500 DSLR camera is fully compatible with AF-S, AF-P and AF-type lenses and has limited compatibility with AI lenses and specific E-type lenses. As long as your lens is an AF-S, AF-P or AF-type lens it will be fully compatible. In addition, this camera body is able to use a variety of Speedlights and is completely compatible with the versatile SB-800 AF Speedlight.

Matt Cutt's blog has been hacked tonight by the Dark SEO Team.
My site has been acting a little slow and weird today. I checked my logs, and I'm seeing a lot of GET requests causing strange errors. Most of the requests have escaped Unicode characters, but they don't appear valid. Sorry that the site is kinda slow; I'm going to be away from the computer until around late Monday, so I don't have time to check it now, but I'll try to track it down when I get back.
Matt says he is away until late Monday. Does anyone know how to get in touch to let him know?
In case it's back up, here is screen shot.
DianeV on Sun, 2007-04-01 01:15.
It says, "nous sommes le proprietaire de toi"
which roughly translates to "we are the owner of you".

In my work I try and convey a feeling, emotion or message by capturing in one frame or image that tells a story as well as challenging the viewers perception, that makes them laugh, cry, or starts a conversation and in some cases I present a satiric look at the world we live in. I try to include those little extras that allow the eye to explore and discover hidden gems or messages. My love for architecture and our urban and suburban landscape draws me in and challenges the way I portray our world.

Top 10 wines in the US press
18 September 2012 By Richard Ross
We round up the top 10 wines featured in the US press in the past week.
Eric Pfanner in the International Herald Tribune looks at the French supermarkets' Annual Wine Fairs which are starting now across the country. What to buy? "Basically, Bordeaux", says Pfanner. Unlike Burgundy, he says, "it makes huge amounts of wine, even at the high end. The wine fairs are a good way to unload some of it in a way that doesn't undermine higher prices in export markets."
Eric Asimov in the New York Times says that "California winemakers share a calling with the Cistercian monks of the Middle Ages: a relentless quest to find the best places to grow pinot noir. Over centuries, the monks settled on the heart of Burgundy, now famous as the Côte d'Or, along with a few scattered sites in Germany that may only now be coming to fruition. In California, the search goes on." He looks to Alexander Valley, as does Jon Bonné in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Lettie Teague in the Wall Street Journal tries to counter the view that "to many wine drinkers, a light red is anathema, a wine defined by an absence of structure, tannins and wood."
Anthill Farms Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2009 (US$37)
Eric Asimov in the New York Times says this is "fresh, vivacious, light and well balanced with aromas of spicy red fruit."
Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2009 (US$50)
Eric Asimov applauds this as a wine that's "well-rounded with finesse and intensity, lingering flavors of licorice, herbs and red fruit."
Nash Mill Vineyards 'Husch' Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2009 (US$40)
Eric Asimov also rates this Pinot as "pretty and elegant with spicy, floral aromas and flavors."
Rouvre Saint Leger "Laudun" 2010 (US$17-19)
Irene Virbila in the LA Times says: "It's 100% Viognier, pale yellow with an extravagant nose of ripe apricot and citrus. Lush and creamy, this is a wine to roll around the tongue, savoring every nuance."
Liberty School Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (U$10)
Katie Kelly Bell on Forbes.com highlights this wine as "pleasing and ripe, soft and approachable with a nice balance of fruity black cherry and vanilla."
Chateau Potelle VGS Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 (US$70)
Katie Kelly Bell describes this as "silky and smooth, with cedar, vanilla, black cherry and cassis aromas, the tannins are nicely woven around the fruit, making this an easy wine to open now."
Drew Morning Dew Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2010 (US$48)
Jon Bonné in the San Francisco Chronicle says "its mysterious, fecund nature comes forward, full of plum skin and dark loam and anise, with fantastic energy and minerality. It's ready for a long life."
Straight Line Mendocino Pinot Noir 2010 (US$28)
Jon Bonné says this is "perfumed and savory, it brims with raspberry and talc, and those lifted aromas so classic to Mendocino."
Andrea Baron Widmann Vernatsch 2011 (US$20)
Lettie Teague in the Wall Street Journal says: "this small Alto Adige producer turns out a lovely, lively red that's a bit like an earthy Beaujolais with a savory edge."
Bedell Cellars First Crush Red 2011 (US$18)
Lettie Teague likes this "pretty, uncomplicated red marked by soft tannins and bright red berry fruit."


Just thought all the EU lovers and socialist would like to comment on this!
Managed Realignment - which means allowing the shoreline to retreat or advance in a controlled or managed way, either because that is the best approach for a particular stretch of coast, or because the benefits of protection are clearly out of scale with the financial costs.
The meeting of the County Council's Overview & Scrutiny Committee today altered recommendations to the cabinet over the proposed secondary school for Swanage & proposals to move St Georges First school in Langton Matravers to a new site.
If the cabinet agrees this decision St Georges school is saved - the option for consultation is to retain the school on its existing village site, rather than merging it with St Marks, which would be redeveloped on the existing Middle School site.
A hard fought victory was also won for the Education Swanage campaigners; councillors amending the recommendation proposed that Purbeck parents were to be offered the opportunity to be consulted on a proposed split site Purbeck school with a site in Swanage as well as the existing one in Wareham.
"This issue has seen members of all political parties working together," said Ros Kayes, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for South Dorset, who spoke in favour of both proposals today, " and it's a small victory for local democracy. But it is really a tribute to the tremendous hard work done by the communities in Langton & Swanage who have refused to be beaten by this consultation. They have rallied support round, conducted research that contradicts that of the officials & really challenged the imposition of these changes. They have fought every step of the way & I am overjoyed at the result for them."
If accepted by the Cabinet the new proposals will go out to public consultation in January. Only one councillor opposed the changes.
"Free Christmas parking at Wareham and Corfe Castle"
Meanwhile the spirit of Scrooge lives on in Swanage town hall. Last year the least used car parks were free for a few days.
Why not go the whole hog and have a Swanage Humbug festival, ban decorations, trees etc and have a big week long party for all the people who can't stand christmas. Strike a blow against the commercial infantalisation of our lives. Christians would rejoice as this would be the one place where it was a religious festival rather than the feast of shopping, as its know in the god trade. Humanists, sceptics etc would fill our guest accommodation to get away from the xmas horrors everywhere else and of course kids would get even more presents as the money was not going on useless rubbish quite as much as usual. Result everybody wins except the chinese manufacturers of baubles, flashing lights and plastic fir trees.
The pleasure of your company is cordially requested this Sunday between the hours of 5pm and 8pm at Bar Se7en - formerly the Victoria Club, 1 High Street, Swanage - to celebrate one year of Live Music Sundays.
Music by Steve Darrington and his Band, featuring 'Harmonica' Hugh Budden. Dress: Casual or Fancy Dress with the theme of 'Speakeasy'. Nibbles will be provided.
LIFEBOAT crew from Dorset have been deployed to Cumbria to help with rescues during the devastating floods.
Two volunteer crew members from RNLI headquarters in Poole and two from Swanage lifeboat station arrived in Cockermouth at around 10pm last night (November 19).
Floodwaters have risen to more than eight feet in the town centre, with torrents gushing through the streets at speeds of up to 25 knots.
John Deas and Gavin Steeden, from the Swanage station, and Glen Mallen and Lee Firman, from Poole HQ, are Dorset's RNLI men in the flood zone".
The things people want to give away! This from 'wastenot, wantnot'. Any other good examples?

Nothing it seems on BBC Dorset or the Echo, but reports of a major drugs bust in Swanage on Saturday night. Two pubs raided, arrests made and further arrests continuing today. I'm sure the Police would be glad to learn of any information that might be considered useful.
Surf's Up in Swanage !!
About 20 surfing in Swanage today [Saturday 14 Nov]say that the waves are as good as Newquay. Free entertainment, watch tomorrow.
Any idea what happened at Swanage Middle School this afternoon? Virtual Swanage has reported an explosion. I hope nobody was hurt.
A 10-year-old schoolgirl was airlifted to hospital suffering from burns to her hands after a small chemical explosion at her school's science block.
Emergency crews were called to Swanage Middle School, Dorset, at about 1630 GMT on Wednesday.
The pupil was airlifted to Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester where police said she was kept in overnight for observation.
Fire crews spent an hour at the scene where they put out a small fire.
Dorset Police said they were called to reports of a possible chemical explosion at the school.
A spokeswoman for Dorset Fire and Rescue said they received reports that an explosion had occurred in the science block and that the girl was airlifted to hospital by air ambulance.

Swanage Town Council response ??
Are we going to hear what the Swanage Town Councils response is to the Core Strategy.
obective 6 Sustainable design and renewable energy.
These are some illustrations of the plans for the Pier Head site which are in early stage discussion with PDC. Plans will not be submitted for formal scrutiny until the recommendation of planning officers has been obtained. The two Pavilion-style buildings sit on a stone podium to allow for sea level change.The architect's theme is a decaying headland similar to Old Harry's Rocks. I think if you click on the images you can take a closer look. It's flats/offices above commercial units.
You can see proposals for the proposed Household Recycling Centre at Prospect Business Park this Friday and Saturday morning (6th/7th Nov) at Swanage Town Hall.
Has there been any news about how Swanage Town Council has, or will, invest or spend the windfall of 7.25 million pounds from the sale of Swanage Bay View Holiday Park?
If not, do our bloggers think that the Council must be transparent about this, or is this privileged information (leaving us to trust the oversight carried out by the District Auditor)?
The discussions with DCC about options for a secondary school are ongoing. DCC are very negative in their language and approach, and essentially they don't want to spend any money (if they have any to spend, which they say they do) but there are interesting developments and the more negative they become the more it seems to be in desperation to prevent a momentum building around the town which might make them do something visionary. A broad curriculum is an issue which we need further expert advice on, but the experts we have spoken to already tell us it's all doable with a little imagination and some timetabling software. Maybe I'm just being overly positive, but why be anything else?
Lots of info on there to digest, and as we gather it in we'll be publishing more.
Council secrets and meeting minutes.
With reference to "Council Member has breached the embargo on all official communications about the sale of the Park, imposed by the Town Council and Clerk." in the Swanage bay view topic. In many of the council meeting minutes entire sections are not added due to "confidential" discussions.Why do the council need to keep secrets from the rest of the town and all the people who pay their wages?Are there a lot of underhand or illegal dealings going on which involve the council or town clerk like signing things they shouldn't or backhanders going on, or are they worried that if we all knew how they "manage" the town they would all be kicked out and replaced?
What is The Purbeck Society? How do you join, what does it do, how many members does it have?
Perhaps we euro sceptics here are not alone.
Planning Purbeck's Future, the latest stage of the Core Strategy is being published for public consultation. This document includes policies for protection of the environment and sets out where new development, including housing, retail and employment, will be located over the next 20 years. It also includes policies to manage development. The consultation period will commence on Monday, 7 September 2009 and will run for a period of eight weeks closing on Friday, 30 October 2009. In addition to the main report, a leaflet and questionnaire will be delivered to every home or business during September.
All documents are available electronically on the Council's website. There is also a web forum to encourage debate on the proposals. Paper copies are available in the District Council Offices and local Libraries.You can also respond using the response form that can be downloaded off the Council's website.
Swanage Town Council has announced the sale of its 300 unit luxury caravan park and holiday complex to the Darwin Leisure Property Fund for a capital receipt of £7.25m. The deal includes revenue income of an annual ground rent of £30,000 for the life of the 105 year lease term.
On behalf of Darwin Victoria Brannen CIO, commented that "Darwin look forward to expanding their existing holiday park portfolio with the purchase of Swanage Bay View and implementing their business strategy, which will continue to operate and develop the park as a desirable holiday home location on the Dorset coast, whilst improving facilities that benefit not just the park owners but also members of the local community and support the town's economy".
Alan Leeson, Town Clerk and Financial Officer explains "by eliminating caravan sales from the Council's activities we shall now be able to forecast future income with greater certainty. In order to keep the council tax precept to a minimum, the Council will now be considering its investment strategy in order to ensure that alternative sources of income are maximised".
Both parties are now moving towards completion and handover on 15th October 2009.
I just wondered why neither the local advertiser or the local gazzete picked up on the recent story of a Swanage drug dealer going to prison. Was this due to them not wanting people to think Swanage has a drug scene? or was it for some other strange reason.
South Dorset UKIP are holding a 'Mad hatters tea party' starting 2pm on Saturday the 29th of August at Albany house, Kingston Lane, Worth Matravers.
Do I detect a sense of irony?
Does anyone else think there needs to be clearer give way signs and road markings from Rempstone Road into Station Road.
Yet again today someone pushing their way in from Rempstone road nearly hit a car which had right of way coming from Kings Road as they drove into Station road without bothering to slow down as they failed to give way!
Affordable housing back on the agenda. Good luck to Worth.
Is the Council about to announce the sale of Swanage Bay View Holiday Park? There was an extraordinary meeting of the Town Council on Aug. 10th to discuss changes to the contract....has the deal reached its conclusion? What will it provide for the people of Swanage?
webcams, purely for promotional purposes.
costs round about £200 and has to be replaced every couple of years.
potential visitors how good the weather is, when the forecast is lousy.
Here is a suggestion for Swanage. Its not original, its something they do in a place called Tiburon in California which is a tourist town a little smaller than Swanage.
Quoting Wikipedia: "On Friday evenings in the spring and summer, the town's Main Street is closed to vehicles and transformed into a large alfresco dining area for "Friday Nights on Main". Local restaurants and bars provide outdoor dining and drinks, with music and lively crowds helping create a festive atmosphere."
This is something we could do in the High Street. I know we have the odd shower here but most summer evenings are dry. The oyster bar shows what can be done. Surely it is something that can be built on.
We already have lots of people sitting at the tables outside the fish plaice and on benches eating fish and chips and enjoying the alfresco experience so why not offer curry, chinese food, pizzas etc on the street as well.
a fairly new and good quality mattress?
The schools and residents of Swanage have managed to get more consultation on how two-tier education will work in the town. But this does not have to be limited to primary schools.
Swanage should get a new secondary school rather than bussing over 700 children from the area to Wareham every day.
We are the ONLY town in Dorset not to have a secondary school (except for new town Verwood) but we have enough children to fill one.
The Purbeck School will soon take 1750 children - making it enormous - bigger than 97 per cent of secondary schools in the country - most are half that size. Do we want children to go from tiny village schools to a huge comp split over two sites in Wareham? Why can't one of the sites be here?
The town lost its two secondary schools by one vote in 1974. This is a chance to put it right.
We could get adult education and sports facilities at the same time, plus all the benefits of after-school activities and better parental involvement.
Jim Knight agrees, Bill Trite agrees, the main Conservative party agree and say that communities should have their own schools. Only Dorset CC want to deny us the right to have this choice.
Whose idea was it to have the path on the Downs resurfaced two days before the kids break up from school?
Are you missing your Swanage Advertiser lately? It seems they've stopped delivering to parts of North Swanage and Durlston.
Anybody else not getting a copy?
For One Short Moment Forget The Expenses Debacle.
In the midst of all the justified furore of our once honourable members, I wish to pause to look at the mess 12 years of Labour lack of governance has brought us.
Education an utter shambles, hospitals no better than untold billions of wasted cash, police thuggish and politicised, a disgraced speaker still lauded as he is forced to quit. Our secret services and armed forces strapped for cash, a public transport like a "Carry On" film and our roads so badly maintained they kill untold thousands a year. We have a State Broadcaster who now makes The USSR Pravda look amateurs, we have laws forced upon us by a crowd of unelected EU Commissioners aided and abetted by an expenses culture Parliament, that puts our fraudsters in the bottom half of the Conference League.
At the head of this unmitigated disaster sits a man who picks his nose in public, is as nasty to his own party non-believers as he is to the rest of us doubters of his sanity. You might care to add your own list of failure and incompetence.
So amongst this shambles and wreckage of out Country Jimmy Brown "carries on" regardless. The Speaker, Labours' own place man, is forced to leave in shame. His ministers more singly corrupt than the rest of The House put together, remain intact and rich beyond most peoples' dreams. What has the great man have to say?
"Mr Brown again resisted calls for an early general election saying the crisis was not about government but about the system and it was reforming the system that would solve the problem."
Translation, "Nothing to do with me Guv." So was the system created in America? Did he change the system over the last 12 years? You bet he did. Well if these revelations of collective greed, neglect and utter arrogance and incompetence fail to force an election what will it take? For sure the real economic tsunami has not yet reached beyond the beach. That will hit around October. We should take heed and vote Labour into oblivion, or else face further destruction.
PEAT on the SCREEN !
Please support this active local group that are making a positive change for Purbeck.
We are happy to offer our support to other groups too.
PEAT (Purbeck Environment Action Team) is hitting the screens and putting on the following series of FREE environmental film and documentary showings all across Purbeck in May and June..Please come along for a fun and interesting evening out.
**Saturday 6th June – 7 pm – Power of Community – At Corfe Castle Village Hall. Guest speaker Andy McKee.
PEAT is a local group of like-minded individuals working towards sustainability in Purbeck. The group formed in June 2006 to focus on how Purbeck can play its part to combat climate change. They encourage "living lightly" and sharing the Earth's resources fairly and are supported by DA21 (formally Dorset Agenda 21).
PEAT has grown from strength to strength following the success of the "PEAT on the Street" day in September last year where the group took over the streets of Wareham to highlight ways of living sustainably and to celebrate the natural wonder of the local area. PEAT is now focusing on moving towards Transition Purbeck.
Transition Purbeck joins other Transition initiatives locally and worldwide. The main aim of the Transition initiative is for local communities to become sustainable and self-sufficient. The first step on this exciting and necessary journey is to raise awareness of peak oil and the cause and effect of climate change on a local and global level.
A new poster is appearing in the shop windows of Swanage, dedicated to local Live Music. It shows who's playing where and when during May.
If you wish to see your Live Music event listed in the June issue, or you wish to advertise, please contact me. Thank you.
The 2009 Parish Assembly will be held at the Bayview Caravan Park at 7.00pm on Weds 6th May.
WEDNESDAY, 7th MAY 2008 at 7 o'clock p.m.
Councillor Gary Suttle, Town Mayor, was in the Chair, and, in addition to members of the Council and officials, 34 persons were present.
Before the commencement of the Meeting, the Clerk outlined the procedure that would be followed during the Meeting. All registered electors in attendance had been issued with blue cards, and other interested parties (not on the electoral register) were allowed to attend the Meeting at the Chairman's discretion.
Apologies for their inability to attend the Meeting were received from Councillors Audley, Bright, Gloyn-Cox and Pratt, and Mr. J. Wootton.
The Minutes of the Parish Meeting held on 21st May 2007 were approved as a correct record and signed. (Copies of the Minutes were circulated to those present at the Meeting).
MR. P. CLARK enquired when the Public Report on the Bay View Holiday Park would be published. He was informed that the Options Appraisal was almost completed and that a Report would be included in the next edition of "Swanage Matters" which would be published shortly.
MR. P. CLARK then referred to Page 3 of the Minutes and enquired whether the Council's management accounts were being produced on a monthly basis, in keeping with "best practice" procedures adopted elsewhere. He also enquired whether it was the Town Council's intention to appoint a CIPFA qualified accountant. The TOWN MAYOR confirmed that the management accounts were presented to the Council on a regular monthly basis. Consideration had been given to the appointment of a CIPFA qualified accountant, but having regard to the Council's limited financial resources, negotiations were currently being undertaken with Poole Borough Council for the provision of accountancy services on a consultancy basis.
MR. FOOKS referred to the piece of land adjoining Day's Park (approximately 1/3rd of an acre) and maintenance work that had recently been carried out in this area. He requested that this area be included within the Council's regular maintenance programme, and enquired whether the land is designated as being within an area of outstanding natural beauty. He was assured that his request would be referred to the Council's Operations Manager. The land was not specifically designated as being within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The Mayor then opened the Meeting for general discussion, and invited questions and comments from the audience.
COUNCILLOR M. HADLEY requested that the Minutes of the Annual Parish Assembly be made available as soon as possible after the Meeting.
MR. I. SAUNDERS referred to income received by the De Moulham Trust and expressed the opinion that monies should be made available from this source for the maintenance of the service roads within the De Moulham Estate, as a matter of priority.
COL. SQUIRREL drew attention to the termination of the lease of the Mowlem restaurant and bars with Badger Breweries. He was anxious that this tenancy should not affect the future of the theatre, which should be secured for the benefit of the residents of Swanage, and suggested that the Town Council considers sponsorship of the theatre if the Trust is unable to secure a suitable tenant.
The TOWN MAYOR welcomed representatives from Dorset Police and introduced Inspector Ashley Adams, the Section Commander for Purbeck.
MR. I. MACKENZIE expressed his concern regarding the stability of the wall on the western side of Shore Road in the vicinity of Battlegate toilets and enquired whether responsibility for the wall had been established. He also enquired when the pedestrian crossing would be re-instated as he was concerned for the safety of pedestrians with the approach of the busy summer season. He was informed that the ownership/responsibility for the wall was being researched by both Purbeck District Council and Dorset County Council but no clear ownership had been established at the present time. COUNTY COUNCILLOR DONALD HIETT gave an assurance that he would pursue the re-instatement of the pedestrian crossing with Dorset County Council as a matter of urgency.
report on the matter from Purbeck District Council.
This proposition was seconded by MR. I. MACKENZIE and RESOLVED.
MR. D. SPINDLER enquired as to the ownership of the former Grammar School building, which he understood had recently changed hands. He was informed that the Council was also aware of this rumour, but had no further information on the matter.
MRS. SPINDLER was concerned at the total disregard of the speed limits in Northbrook Road by some motorists and requested that action be taken to deter this practice. Her comments were endorsed by MS. P. KEELING who highlighted her concerns at "boy racers" in the High Street. They were advised by Police Officers in attendance at the Meeting, that in certain circumstances a Section 59 Notice could be served on persistent offenders, which may result in the confiscation of the vehicle and a fine of £125 being issued.
MR. I. ALLEN reported that the Swanage Town and Community Partnership had made recommendations to Dorset County Council regarding traffic improvements that could be introduced in Swanage, and COUNCILLOR M. HADLEY also reported on traffic issues that were being raised by the Town Council's Transport Committee.
COUNCILLOR HADLEY then referred to the increasing number of vehicles that were parking in the vicinity of the Stone Quay, and expressed his concern for the safety of pedestrians in the area.
MR. I. SAUNDERS enquired whether the Town Council had made provision for the overnight parking of camper vans in its car parks and was informed that the Council's Off-Street Parking Order had been amended to allow for the parking of camper vans for one night only in Main Beach and North Beach Car Parks with effect from 1st April 2008.
Other traffic issues raised included the proximity of the town centre traffic lights, illegal parking and lack of enforcement, and a request for consideration to be given to the introduction of a ½ hourly parking charge at the Residents' Car Park.
MR. SARGENT, a caravan owner at the Swanage Bay View Holiday Park, referred to the recent resignation of the Tourist Information Centre Manager. He was very appreciative of the services provided by the Tourist Information Centre and enquired whether this worthwhile post would be filled, bearing in mind the current economic climate. The changing requirements of the tourism industry were explained by the TOWN MAYOR and he reported that the future provision of these services were to be considered at a meeting with the Economic Development Officer/Tourism Officer at Purbeck District Council to be held the following day.
The next Parish Assembly was scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 6th May 2009 at 7.00 p.m.
The meeting concluded at 8.20 p.m.
There is a 200 metre-long strip at the start of the High Street in which the nine venues that make up the central core of the event are located. Whenever we walked between pubs the strains of music faded in and out while crowds danced in the street. Gazing up we could even see New Orleans-style architecture to complete the scene! The other venues are not so central and include a huge Victorian hotel towering from the cliffs at one end of the picturesque bay, another hotel that is overshadowed by the incredible Corfe Castle at the end of a steam train ride, and world-famous country pub the Square & Compass, which has a museum and where they bring out the beer from the back room!
Send your questions in advance to Rowland Hughes at < rowland@showcad.com > and as many as possible will be put to the candidates.
There was a meeting at the Conservative Club on Wednesday 22nd April 2009.
As a regular visitor (not a 2nd home owner!), I would be interested to know whether the refurbishment to the Mowlem has now been completed and whether it has improved significantly.
The annual Parish Assembly will be held on Wednesday 6th May at the Bayview Caravan Park at 7pm. This meeting, open to all residents of Swanage, is a forum to raise and debate any issues of concern or interest. A key point to note is that there is no time limit for 'public participation', as at normal council meetings. Also, if a vote is taken to address a particular issue, the council must then debate the matter at an early subsequent meeting.
An absent minded driver was left red-faced when his car rolled off a ferry slipway and into the sea in Dorset. Emergency services were alerted when passers-by saw a partially submerged car at Sandbanks, Poole, at 0812 BST. When a lifeboat crew arrived they were met by the driver of the Smart car coupe who had left his vehicle on the slipway before wandering off. The man said he had used the handbrake, and confirmed to police no-one was in the car. The car has not been found. Lifeboats could not locate the vehicle, and believe it was swept out to sea partially submerged. A lifeboat spokeswoman said the car had entered the water from the north side of the chain ferry crossing at Sandbanks which links Poole with Studland. "A volunteer crew arrived on scene expecting the worse preparing to search for a body when the driver of the car appeared on the chain ferry slipway. "It appears he left the car to go to the shop or loo and the car rolled into the water," she added. Dorset Police were alerted when the partially submerged vehicle was spotted floating past the Haven Hotel.

Goal 5: Pristine lakes and rivers
Goal 6: Sustainably managed lands and forests
Goal 7: Healthy wildlife populations
Goal 8: Sustainable food
Goal 9: Connecting Canadians with nature
Goal 10: Safe and healthy communities
We are improving the ability of the lands and buildings we manage to withstand and recover from climate impacts.
We have committed to two actions and three indicators under the "Modern and resilient infrastructure" goal.
Each action has a set of indicators — with clear, concrete and measurable targets — to evaluate success. The status of each are as reported in the 2019-2020 annual report.
3.1 Adopt stormwater management guidelines to reduce impacts on water quality and quantity.
Adopt stormwater management guidelines | ⬤ Begun, off track
We completed stormwater management guidelines in 2019–2020. They will be presented to the NCC Board of Directors in early 2020–2021.
Apply the stormwater management guidelines to all new projects | ⬤ Not yet begun
We will use these guidelines as new projects come up.
3.2 Assess the flood risk for NCC operations and assets located in the 100-year and 350-year flood plain.
Complete a flood risk assessment | ⬤ Begun, on track
We have started gathering data to update the current flood plain maps. Our next steps are to assess the risks to our assets in these flood plains, and to include the impacts of climate change on future flooding.
We moved a parking lot above the 100-year flood plain. This parking lot, previously at the corner of Island Park Drive and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, had flooded in 2017 and 2019. This project has also improved the health of the nearby shoreline.
⬤ Begun, on track: Work toward this action has begun, and the project is on track to be completed on time and for the target to be met.
⬤ Begun, off track: Work toward this action has begun, and issues have arisen that have required the timeline for the completion of the project to be extended or that will make it difficult to meet the target.
⬤ Will not meet target OR Target not met: The target for this action will not be met or has not been met.
⬤ Not yet begun: Work toward this action has not yet begun.
