In stock

  • Variety: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah , 20% Feteascǎ Neagrǎ
  • Appelation: DOC-CT Dealu Mare
  • Vintage: 2013
  • Yield: 6700 kg/ha Cabernet Sauvignon, 5300 kg/ha Syrah, 5800 kg/ha Feteascǎ Neagrǎ
  • Oak aging: 18 months for Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 months for Syrah, 12 months for Feteascǎ Neagrǎ
  • Alcohol content (vol%): 13,7

The wine is prepared entirely from grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Feteascǎ Neagrǎ, varieties coming from the Dealu Mare which is the homeland of red wines in Romania, the seventh largest country producer of grapes in the world.

After hand-harvesting at an average of 25°Brix, the grapes were desteemed and crushed. The grapes have been fermented by variety in stainless steel vertical fermenters with gentle cap irrigators, for 14-21 days. To extract rich color and soft tannin from the grape skins the fermentation vats were pumped over 5 minutes every 3 hours, daily throughout the fermentation period. Following pressing and malolactic fermentation, the wine was moved to Romanian forest oak barrels, then racked, blended with a personal fingerprint and bottled; it might require decanting with time.

Deep red color, with abundant bouquet of fragrant forest fruits, dark chocolate and spices hints. Three lovely varieties reunited in a complex and well structured wine, with an intense and velvety taste of ripe fruit and marmalade, vanilla and spices on the finish.

It is recommended to be served at 16-18°C, along with spicy lamb dishes, beef or venison.

The Foreign Office continues to advise against non-essential travel to Tokyo

The Foreign Office advice still remains the same on travel to Tokyo and northeast Japan. It has been revealed that more than 500 Britons in this area have been given iodine tablets to counteract the effects of radiation leaking from the country’s crippled nuclear facility.

The Foreign Office has issued the following advice:

  • We advise against all but essential travel to Tokyo and north east Japan given the damage caused by the 11 March earthquake, the resulting aftershocks and the tsunami.
  • Due to the evolving situation at the Fukushima nuclear facility and potential disruptions to the supply of goods, transport, communications, power and other infrastructure, British nationals currently in Tokyo and to the north of Tokyo should consider leaving the area.
  • At present this advice does not apply to Hokkaido due to its significant distance north of Fukushima.  We will continue to monitor the situation.
  • Those who choose not to leave Tokyo and the area north of Tokyo should consult the section below.  This sets out precautionary advice on measures to be taken, should radiation levels increase in any significant way.  These include taking shelter, assessment of water and food, and taking iodine tablets.  It also includes details of distribution points for iodine tablets to British nationals and their dependents in Tokyo from 19-22 March.

British prime minister Boris Johnson has confirmed pubs, restaurants, hotels and hairdressers can reopen from July 4th in England.

Social distancing rules will also be eased, with guests expected to remain one metre apart at all times.

Indoor service in pubs and restaurants will only be allowed to have a table service and venues will be asked to collect contact details of customers.

Most hospitality establishments across the UK have been closed since March 20th as the country battled to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

However, with the number of cases continuing to fall across the country, Johnson said it was now safe for a reopening.

The prime minister warned that all steps were “reversible” should cases begin to increase again.

In order to begin restoring the arts and cultural sector, some leisure facilities and tourist attractions may also reopen, Johnson added, if they can do so safely.

This includes outdoor gyms and playgrounds, cinemas, museums, galleries, theme parks and arcades, as well as libraries, social clubs, places of worship and community centres.

Despite the relaxation of rules, places still considered high-risk must remain closed.

Johnson added: “As we begin to reopen the economy, it’s important that we do not increase the risk of transmission which is why ‘close proximity’ venues such as nightclubs, soft-play areas, indoor gyms, swimming pools, water parks, bowling alleys and spas will need to remain closed for now.

“The government is continuing to work with these sectors to establish taskforces to help them to become ‘Covid Secure’ and reopen as soon as possible.”

Joss Croft, chief executive of UKinbound, welcomed the developments.

He said: “Today’s announcement that pubs, restaurants, hotels and attractions can officially open on the July 4th will come as a huge relief to businesses across the tourism and hospitality industry, who have earnt very little revenue since the beginning of March.

“Reducing social distancing from two metres to one will also ensure that many more businesses will be able to viably reopen at the start of next month.”

Release Day – REBEL by Rebecca Yarros

We are so excited to be sharing Rebecca Yarros’s REBEL with you today! REBEL is the third standalone in the Renegades series and is out now–hurry and grab your copy today!

She’s Penna Carstairs.

The Renegade they call Rebel.

FMX-treme Magazine’s sexiest female athlete of the year.

There’s no rule in extreme sports she hasn’t broken,

No gender barrier she hasn’t demolished.

She’s the woman I met in a bar in Vegas.

The woman I illegally BASE jumped for.

The woman I spent one insane, incredible night with.

But now I’m screwed.

Or rather…not screwed.

Because the woman I can’t get out of my head is the one woman I can never touch again.

I’m Dr. Cruz Delgado—the youngest professor on this campus,

And Penelope Carstairs just walked into my class.

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iBooks

“Welcome to Latin American History.”

At that deep, lightly accented voice, my pen fell to the paper, as useless as my brain.

“This class will also serve as your Study At Sea seminar, which means I have the joy of getting to know each of you very well over the next three months since you’ll be writing a thirty-page thesis for me.”

The class groaned, and I slowly dragged my eyes from the paper, past the neck of the red-haired boy in front of me, to the man who stood at the head of our class, casually leaning against his desk. I took in the way his pants hugged his hips, the contrast of his rolled white button-down against his tanned skin, and the loose green tie at his throat. My gaze caught on his lips, the strong line of his nose and cheekbones, to the melty chocolate eyes that were focused on the other side of the room as he addressed the students there. His hair looked like he’d run his hands through it more than a few times, and his teeth flashed white when he grinned, those panty-dissolving dimples appearing.

My heart stopped beating and my breath froze in my lungs, as if the slightest motion would make him disappear. A rush of heat flushed my skin, and the knot in my chest loosened, unraveling as surely as my body had the last time I’d seen him.

“So let’s get started, shall we? I just flew in from the States today, but I’ll be sure to learn all of your names by the end of the week. Now if you’ll let me have this moment, I’ve been waiting eight years to say it— My name is Dr. Delgado.”

Two thoughts slammed into me simultaneously.

One—Delgado. At least now I knew his last name.

Two—Holy. Fucking. Shit. Cruz was my professor.

I’m Paxton Wilder.

Motocross phenom & adrenaline junkie.

I have more tattoos than scars.

And I’ve never seen a stunt I couldn’t pull off—

Or a girl I can’t get off.

Until she walks in.

My new tutor is sexy, smart, more stubborn than I am, and one hundred percent off limits.

That’s right—the only rule this semester is Don’t Touch the Tutor.

For the first time in my life, I want someone I can’t have.

She’s the girl who obeys every rule.

I’m the guy who breaks them.

Our biggest risk is falling for each other,

But I live for risk…

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iBooks

The only heart he wants is the one he already broke…

He’s Landon Rhodes.

The Renegade they call Nova.

Sinfully gorgeous, broody, tatted-up, professional snowboarder.

Four-time X Games medalist—

Full-time heartbreaker.

They say a girl broke him once—

That’s why he’s so reckless, so driven, so careless with his conquests.

But I’m that girl.

They can call me his curse all they want.

He and I both know the truth—

He’s the one who destroyed me,

And I’m not the sucker who will let that happen again.

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iBooks

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and a lover of all things coffee, chocolate, and Paleo. She is the author of the Flight & Glory, Renegades, and Legacy series. She loves military heroes, and has been blissfully married to hers for fifteen years.

When she’s not writing, she’s tying hockey skates for her four sons, sneaking in some guitar time, or watching brat-pack movies with her two daughters. She lives in Colorado with the hottest Apache pilot ever, their rambunctious gaggle of kids, an English bulldog who is more stubborn than sweet, and a tortoise who might be faster than the bulldog. They recently adopted their youngest daughter from the foster system, and Rebecca is passionate about helping others do the same.

Singapore Shopping

Singaporeans often joke that shopping is their national sport. With more malls and stalls than pitches and courts and with shops and stores a popular playground for Singaporeans during every tiny window of leisure time, this is easy to believe.

A Singapore Mall
A Singapore Mall

But joking aside, and Singaporeans aside too, the tiny island state is the serious international shoppers’ paradise. Millions of tourists pour through every year, stopping over for a couple of days, or shuttling in from Changi Airport for a few brief hours of retail therapy in Singapore’s 150 fabulous international shopping malls and in its scores of ethnic markets and bazaars.

Probably the best known and the busiest of Singapore’s shopping streets is Orchard Road It also has the highest concentration of international super-centres, among them Wisma Atria, home to the Japanese department sensation Isetan; Centre Point, boasting “sophisticated buys to sporty buys, all time favourites, to the hottest trends off the cat-walks”; time-swallowing Indochine with its convenient bored-man-sitting bar, The Sanctuary; Palais Renaissance, palace of grand marques like DKNY, Etro and Gianni Versace; exotic Far East Plaza; Ngee Ann City with a host of big brand boutiques as well as the brilliant Kinokuniya Bookstore. Last but certainly not least among Orchard Road’s top shops is the wonderful old Singapore institution, Tang’s, in business here since 1932.

Not to be overlooked either are the further-flung centres (or closer in centres, depending on where you’re lodged) Riverside Point, overlooking the river is home to high-fashion and the world’s great names sit side by side. Raffles City, on North Beach Road, Asia’s own British India sells cool confections in soft cottons and colours which smack of Somerset Maugham, the Raj and the Empire, while Debenham’s and Marks and Spencer fly a valiant flag for old mother England. The Peninsula Plaza is the home of the bargain in absolutely everything from jeans to hand-held electric fans. On ill Street, Funan Digital Life Mall’s title speaks for its cybertronic self. At Bugis Junction, between Victoria Street and North Bridge Road, alongside the 3-for-one bins of internationals like Giordano and Dorothy Perkins, refreshingly different local boutiques such as Lver sell beautiful stand-out dresses in fabulous fabrics

For the Marketeer, the bargain hunter, the shopper who has seen the $1000 European designer bag of his/her dreams and seeks its $10 Asian clone, or for those in quest of authentic local treasures, Singapore has a wealth of fascinating bazaars and markets. Bugis Street Bazaar is one of the best. Once the haunt of flamboyant transvestites and famed for its vibrant night scene, it still pulses with life and colour, day and night. Side by side with hawker food stalls, tiny boutiques sell souvenirs of every kind, from incense to indigenous art, designer knock-off bags, shoes and clothes, ethnic Indian, Chinese and Malay outfits as well truly extraordinary creations from bold young local designers. Tucked away in corners are little shrines with fresh offerings of incense, oranges, sweets and garlands of flowers.

Chinatown, south of the river, Little India, beyond Bukit Timah Road in the North West and Kampong Glam in the North east are also rich in bargains, souvenirs of every kind, along with the latest in electronic and digital wizardry. But their real shopping prizes are in their ethnic treasures. In Chinatown you’ll find cheong sams, embroidered slippers and bags, tea sets and tableware. In Little India there are exquisite hand-woven Saris, beautiful brassware, carved wooden furniture, embroidered bed-covers and tablecloths. Kampong Glam has basketry from Borneo, Indonesian wall-hangings, Middle Eastern carpets and silks, exquisite traditional Malay and Peranakan garments as well as antiques from all over the Malay Archepelago. Then, last but not least Kamping Glam’s Arab Street is one of the last of the world’s great fabric centres.

Shopping is not just plentiful it’s painless in Singapore too – no racing to meet closing-time curfews, no parcel-laden, cross-city steeple-chases, there’s always somewhere open to trade, just nearby, or ridiculously easily accessible by MRT. From some hotels, like those down in Marina Bay which connect to the fabulous Suntec City Mall, City Link Mall and Marina Square by skywalk, there’s no need even to tread Singaporean soil to shop. In others, like Raffles, with its own exclusive cluster of exquisite boutiques, selling Jim Thompson Silks, designer jewellery, teas and accoutrements, accessories and designer threads, high-class collectibles and souvenirs of the house, there’s really no need to step outside at all.

Rotorua markets

When Captain Cook discovered the lush pocket of country that stretches back from the coast and wraps around Rotorua, he named it the Bay of Plenty. The name was apt. Everything grows and flourishes here; birds, animals, fish, seafood, forests, gardens and orchards.

Kai Maori at Kuirau Park
Kai Maori at Kuirau Park

For a taste of the rich variety of fare that the region produces today, you don’t have to go far, or wait long.

Stroll down Tutanekai Street on a Thursday evening and you’ll catch the Rotorua night market. Here you’ll find fresh produce, much of it organic, along with wines, juices oils and preserves. Local Chinese, Indian, Italian, French and, of course, Kiwi, chefs take their kitchen to the street, so you can dine or graze according to your fancy. There is food for the outer as well as the inner body, like soaps, scrubs and creams, including those miraculous Rotorua mud-packs and manuka honey moisturisers. Quality crafts and arts are also on sale, so the night market makes for very good souvenir shopping too.

Out behind the bubbling mudpools and steam holes of Kuirau Park, the Rotorua Farmers Market takes place every Saturday morning. It’s a colourful, crowded, vibrant affair, with a carnival feel. Music pounds from a tent selling CDs. Bright coloured kids clothes and souvenir t shirts swing from poles. All kinds of plants and vegetables, including puha, watercress and a great range of Asian greens are lined up and laid out in neat rows. Delicious and irresistible smells fill the air; curry, fried rice, kebabs, crepes, coffee, rewena (bread) and paraoa parai (fried bread) with golden syrup or jam. Local fund raisers hold stalls here too, so you can contribute to a school playground, a community hall or a trip for the modest price of a home-made muffin or beanie.

Both markets offer a chance to taste foods that you won’t necessarily find elsewhere in Rotorua or anywhere for that matter. They also offer a chance to see the abundance of wonderful produce that the beautiful Bay of Plenty yields today. If you’re foodie, don’t miss either of them.

San Telmo

San Telmo is Buenos Aires’s oldest neighbourhood. It was originally the domain of the wealthy but in 1871 a yellow fever epidemic caused them to flee to fresher, uncontaminated ground on the city’s outskirts. Their grand manors were quickly filled by large immigrant families and the area fell from favour.

San Telmo Market

Nowadays, San Telmo is one of the most charming and popular quarters of Buenos Aires.  The lovely old houses are still standing, many of them impeccably restored, while others remain shabbily chic. Quaint cafes and restaurants line the narrow streets.  Over the years many “Porteno” artists, musicians and performers have settled and spread their influence through San Telmo. They sketch paint and busk in the streets. There are numerous galleries and studios, as well as a recording company, four museums and a cinema university. Some of Buenos Aires best tango spots are also found here.

But San Telmo’s most interesting corners are to be found in its antique and second hand stores and in its colourful and crowded market – The market building itself is a beauty, with wrought-iron arches and high, vaulted wooden ceilings. It is crammed, literally, with trash and treasure. Everywhere there are glimpses of Buenos Aires’ grand, and not so grand, past lives. Jewellery, china, silverware, religious relics, furniture, toys and books jostle for space with family photographs, tablecloths, rosary beads, statues, holy pictures and suitcases plastered with labels from old Europe. They are all on sale for a song.

In the same building is a produce market as colourful, crowded and cheap as its neighbour.

On Sundays the whole of San Telmo becomes a giant market. The streets are closed to traffic and hundreds of vendors set up booths. Tourists and locals alike pour in from all parts of the city.

A short and fascinating walk from the centre of Buenos Aires , San Telmo is not to be missed.

2012, permission to come aboard is granted.

31 12 2011

December 31, 2011

Thanksgiving has come and gone, followed by birthdays and Christmas, and I find myself again about to make that large flip of the calendar page which is due each year at this time.

Rather than retrospect and philosophize about the year gone by, or anticipate and resolve for the year ahead, I think I’ll spend the evening watching TV and then simply get on with it all tomorrow.

Quick note

Ugh, yesterday there were several good developments: on Sunday I started to think about the super-cool race I am doing in September (have been hesitant to get excited about it because I have been sick so much over the last 12 months), and on Monday I had an ingenious idea about a way to do a long-course race in 2012 without locking in so far in advance and spending so much money.

It is the 2012 iteration of this race - suffice it to say that despite my sensible 'decision' that I would revisit the question of Ironman in February or so, I have not been able to stop thinking about it all the time: IMLP registration was yesterday (regular registration was open for some hours but is now closed), it just stirred me up; and though there are still foundation slots left for IMNYC, they are going to be gone very soon and it is an expensive race: NYC had begun to predominate in my thoughts over Idaho, because although Idaho is so beautiful and really the race best suited to my preferences [probable cooler temperatures], it is expensive and difficult to get to with a bike (one of the worst things about canceling in June was that I'd already shipped bike and gear bag at a rate of $300 - so I couldn't even bring all of my favorite gear with me for the summer as the bike had not yet been returned to NYC). IMCDA also falls at a time in the year that makes the heaviest training period overlap with my busiest period of the year, not conducive to staying healthy during training. The NYC slots, though, are probably going to be gone in another week or two - I emailed yesterday with someone at the WTC to confirm this impression, and it is indeed the case. But I had at least two three-week illnesses in the last year, each one preceded about 3-4 weeks beforehand by a one-week respiratory ailment that would also have prevented me racing, and I really don't think it's a good idea to hand over a lot of dollars (in this case it's $1500, the NYC race anomalously costs about $400 more than their other races and then the foundation slot involves an additional charitable donation of about $600) to the WTC for a high-stakes race that will make me upset not to start at if that's the way it goes...

Anyway, the Canadian 226 seems like a great solution, it's cheaper to register further in advance but you can still register for the full iron-distance race less than one week out, and for under $400! Ottawa is easy to get to from NYC, and it's Brent's hometown, so it's a sensible place for us to travel for something like this. It is not quite the same thing as the 'branded' IM races, it is something a scrupulously honest person will feel the need to qualify and explain, but truly for the reasons I want to do it it is the same, and I will not be sorry to have a less hugely corporate sponsored race - I believe this one is a really great event in any case.

Felt a huge sense of relief at finding this as a possibility for next year: this is so much the thing I most want to do that it doesn't sit right with me just to let it go for another year, but clearly the WTC IM-branded races have not worked for me thus far (the long lead-in time doesn't fit well with various things about my life), and it is stupid to make the same mistake again when I have already made it several times.

Anyway, as I say, I had finally attained a small portion of inner tranquillity for the first time since the beginning of June, only I was beginning to feel a slight tickle and soreness in my lungs, and indeed there is clearly something amiss. ARGHHHHHHH! Sunday's bike ride must have put a strain on them again; it's not a cold, but they feel tender, raw, with more phlegm than should be. My hands are irksomely TIED until I am back in NY in early September, I have to go and see the pulmonary specialist I saw last year and also find an allergist, I hate having a course of action but not being able to initiate it immediately!

In the meantime I will obviously take the day off from exercise, which is hugely stressful to me, it is basically the main way I stay on track - off to the cafe shortly to try and do a spot of writing, that is the other big way...

Ironmom (Julie) said...

That race sounds like a perfect fit. Do you take enough Vitamin D? We all started taking more of it after I read an article about the immune system benefits, and we noticed a huge drop-off in illnesses, even among the schoolkids. It's one of those vitamins you can't take too much of, so no harm in trying.

Black Knight said...

That race is a real challenge but it sounds perfect.
I am allergic too and in spring and summer my breathe is more difficult but .... I survive.
What about any race in italy? There are a lot of good possibilities.
Thank you for the link, I love that colony of bats.

“Malcolm & Marie”: More Irritation, Less “Euphoria”

Sam Levinson’s productions tend to be hit or misses

Writer-director Sam Levinson is an artist who I have very mixed feelings about. So far, his work has been pretty hit-or-miss for me. And after the release of his film “Malcolm & Marie,” I’m glad to see that I’m not the only person who feels this way.
Levinson’s most popular work to date is the hit HBO series “Euphoria.” The show follows a group of high school students as they struggle with gender identity, sexuality and substance addiction. The show initially received backlash for its amount of graphic sexuality and nudity, but this didn’t stop the show from garnering critical acclaim, mostly for its writing, acting, score and direction.
But before that show aired, Levinson also made the dark comedy thriller “Assassination Nation,” which was … not very good. Okay, who am I kidding? It was really bad. The film is set in the town of Salem and chaos ensues after a hacker leaks the secrets of the town’s residents. The film’s direction was honestly pretty great, and there are some really impressive one-shots and action sequences. However, the writing feels really out of touch, which makes some sort of sense, considering that the film’s lead characters are teenage girls who were written by a man in his late 30s. It all feels extremely obnoxious to the point where most of the characters feel like they’re ripped straight from the comments section of a Donald Trump tweet.
And here’s where it gets complicated. It would seem like Levinson is just a bad writer (especially when it comes to teenage characters), but “Euphoria” has some seriously great writing. It feels like it was written by teenagers, whereas the dialogue of “Assassination Nation” feels like it was written by a man in his 30s.
So here’s where “Malcolm & Marie” comes into play. Around early 2020, when COVID-19 started to ravage the United States, Levinson and his crew were about to start filming the second season of “Euphoria.” In quarantine, he then wrote and shot “Malcolm & Marie,” which is probably one of the first films to be produced during quarantine. That might be the first issue. It genuinely feels like Levinson was more concerned with making a film than he was with making a good one. It just feels rushed, and Levinson did say that it was partially made because he was disappointed about not being able to film the second season of “Euphoria,” which makes sense considering that this film has a lot of the same crew of the show: lead star Zendaya, composer Labrinth and cinematographer Marcell Rév.
But another reason why the film fails is its dialogue and desperation to be meaningful. The performances from John David Washington and Zendaya are absolutely fantastic, and they deserve every single rave review that they’ve been getting. The cinematography is also pretty great, although the black-and-white aesthetic feels a bit pretentious; to quote the show “Community,” “just because something is in black-and-white, doesn’t mean it’s good.” The biggest issue here is the script.
There are numerous rants from the character Malcolm in which he expresses his frustration with him being a filmmaker of color, and how the color of his skin means that all of his films have to be about race. To be honest, this is a conversation that should be had in film. However, it just takes the audience out of the film when it’s very obvious that it’s just coming from the writer and not the character. And second of all … I don’t really want to hear what Sam Levinson (a white man) has to say about it. That may sound harsh, but considering that Malcolm is just supposed to be an extension of Levinson, these rants are essentially a white man going on about what it’s like to be a black filmmaker which feels very out of touch and weird. Granted, this element isn’t going to be obvious for people who don’t know who Sam Levinson is, and other audiences might not be taken out of the film during these scenes. But I still felt like it was worth discussing.
Also, the film is just irritating. It’s relatively short at 106 minutes, but I genuinely lost count of how many times I just rolled my eyes at Malcolm’s bullshit. The character is so self-absorbed and unlikable, and I genuinely don’t understand how Marie has stuck with him for as long as she has. They’re constantly at each other’s throats, and while that may be a somewhat realistic depiction of relationships (I wouldn’t know, I’m so lonely), it doesn’t make for interesting or likable characters. And that really just makes the film joyless to watch, and I got almost nothing out of it.
The film is on Netflix, if anyone is still curious. Personally, I don’t recommend it and I found it to be a waste of time, which isn’t all that surprising given Levinson’s track record.

Charles Dickens wrote the best summary of this time in his 1859 classic, “A Tale of Two Cities.”

‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’

He goes on to describe the French Revolution,

‘It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness.’

These contrasts reflect the conflicts between the hatred and oppression, love and family, hope and joy, and the class wars raging in France and throughout Europe. Looking at our current newsfeeds, we are bombarded with these same conflicts during our struggle with COVID-19.

To comfort myself, I’ve turned to childhood movies, and one of my favorite movies was ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel.’ Like Dicken’s classic book, also set during the French Revolution, the plot set counties against countries, family members against each other, and showed the war between the classes.

While the movie makes it’s easy to tell who belonged to the Light and who belonged to the Darkness, during this challenging time, it’s not so easy. People are anxious and scared. Some have lost family and friends. Our instinct to survive doesn’t always bring out the best in people, myself included. Still, I don’t think anyone woke up this morning and said, “Today, I will work from darkness and seed despair. I will promote the worst of times.”

No, we’re all just doing our best, getting through each day, and trying to stay safe. But some of us are actively doing good deeds and pitting out global compassion against COVID-19.

If you doubt that, listen to Queen Elizabeth’s speech.

For the next little bit, send me your stories of people, maybe yourself, doing something to promote light and hope in this confusing time of turmoil and fear.

I will start –

A friend had to close her restaurant during these times. Instead of letting the food in her walk-ins spoil, weekly, she invites her undocumented workers to come and get food. No one is paying her. She does this from the kindness in her own heart and soul. She’s not hoarding the food for her family, she is spreading light and hope.

Another friend heard from her sister, a nurse, that her hospital lacked adequate Personal Protective Equipment. She searched the internet and sent a box of headcovers to the hospital. Anonymously. Another source of compassion and hope for our world.

Send me your stories of hope, of light, and of triumph over darkness. I’ll post them on this blog.

(Include your address, so I can send you a Twinkie or a Poptart, a reminder of the little bit of sweetness you are spreading in the world. These items can withstand a couple of days of isolation for decontamination.)

New to Electronic Payments? Start Here

Those new to electronic payment processing often ask, “Why do I need a payment gateway?” It’s a great question and this article will help explain.

In order to process electronic payments such as credit cards, debit cards, and ACH/electronic check payments, merchants work with payment gateways. A payment gateway sends the electronic payment data to a processor/acquiring bank that routes the payment securely to the issuing bank. A payment solution handles this complex workflow in mere seconds. An issuing bank maintains the consumer’s credit card account and pays out to a merchant’s account when the consumer makes a credit card purchase.

The gateway can be one piece of an overall payment solution. TrustCommerce payment solutions include gateway functionality, and much more.

TrustCommerce Strengthens Integration with Leading Patient Management System

IRVINE, California, February 4, 2013 — TrustCommerce, leading provider of Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) payment solutions, is pleased to announce integration with Epic 2012 for payment processing in Resolute, MyChart and Welcome.

TrustCommerce is dedicated to providing solutions that remove credit card data from provider environments and reduce PCI scope. Currently, TrustCommerce supports full end-to-end encryption with Epic Resolute and Welcome through the use of encrypted card swipes and encrypted key entry. In addition, TrustCommerce is the only payment solution that supports a transparent redirect model for the online MyChart product, ensuring sensitive cardholder data never enters the healthcare organization’s environment. Healthcare organizations can use tokenization within Epic 2012 MyChart and Welcome, dependent on the client’s overall system design.

Make Payment Security a Daily Priority

Merchant who store, process or transmit cardholder data, must be compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard. More often than not, PCI DSS Compliance is a starting point for protecting payments, not an achievement that can be crossed off a check list.

Headlines remind us of the ongoing risk of data compromise. A franchising company is the latest example. According to the company’s press release, an internal forensic investigation, launched after fraudulent activity was found on several payment cards that had been used at the company’s locations, identified suspicious files, including malware, on the licensees’ computer systems at 108 locations in 10 states. The franchising company is concerned that the suspicious files could indicate that an attacker(s) may have accessed data, including credit and debit card information. It is yet to be determined whether credit or debit card data was exposed.

To help you better understand how TrustCommerce’s security products could have helped prevent this “malware” attack, here are some key points.

All-new Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series makes global debut

One of the most anticipated off-roaders of 2021 has officially arrived

2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series GR Sport

  • More powerful twin-turbo V6 diesel delivers 227kW and 700Nm
  • Similar in size to outgoing LC200
  • Due in Australia in Q4 of 2021

Here it is folks. After all the leaked spy photos and years of delays, Toyota has officially pulled the wraps off its new LandCruiser 300 Series four-wheel drive wagon.

As you see,  left nothing to the imagination and clearly showed what the all-new vehicle would look like.

What they couldn’t show you though was the engine, which was speculated on just as much as photos were leaked. The official word it that the LC300 will be powered exclusively by a new F33A-FTV 3.3-litre V6 diesel engine using a pair of turbochargers to boost its outputs to 227kW and 700Nm.

Those figures are up 27kW and 50Nm respectively on the 1VD-FTE V8 that powered the current but will the number alone be enough to convince the V8-loving Cruiser owners that the new V6 is a better engine? Only time behind the wheel will tell.

20210610 01 04 S

While a turbocharged 305kW/650Nm 3.5L V6 petrol engine has been mentioned for non-Australian markets to replace the 5.7-litre petrol V8, there’s no mention of it arriving here, and why would they bother. When Toyota offered the choice of a petrol engine in the LC200 it accounted for less than two per cent of total sales. The petrol V6 is expected to gain some form of EV hybridisation at some time in the future and that could pose a more interesting proposition for Australian buyers concerned about fuel use.

The LC300’s V6 engines will be backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission and is expected to continue with full-time four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case. Documents leaked out of South Africa a few months back suggested that some variants of the LC300 will be offered with front and rear locking differentials, although there is nothing in this official release to confirm that.

The TNGA chassis is all new and retains IFS with a coil-sprung live rear axle. The chassis is claimed to be 120 per cent stiffer in terms of torsional rigidity, while the body and chassis combination is claimed to be up to 200kg lighter than that of the 200 Series. Much of the weight saving is expected to come from the use of lightweight panels replacing steel in some areas.

News 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series 4

Toyota has lowered the centre of gravity of the 300 by using the lighter V6 engines and dropping the engine 28mm lower in the chassis and 70mm further back, to improve the car’s dynamics. The chassis also benefits from a new version of the KDSS system called E-KDSS which is capable of disconnecting both the front and rear sway bars for improved axle articulation when driving off-road.

While it’s difficult to gauge scale from these images, the 300 appears similar in size to the 200 which it will replace. Toyota says the actual size including the length, total width, and wheelbase, as well as both the departure and approach angles have been kept the same as the previous model.

The look is much squarer, with a bold, blocky front end and sharper lines down the sides and to the rear. Front and rear light assemblies are slimmer, suggesting LED lighting will be used, while the rear-most side window is partially obscured by the up-swept bodyline.

The images inside the 300 show a three-row seating for seven passengers, and they show that the third-row seat folds flat in to the rear floor when not in use instead of up to the sides, where they took up valuable cargo space.

News 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series 18

Also inside, the large centre dash screen features a new Multi-Terrain Monitor that displays obstacles as viewed from the driver’s viewpoint. A forward-facing camera can be seen in the large grille on the 300. A new Multi Terrain Select system has been configured to automatically judge the road surface and selects the best driving mode.

The global reveal information shows SX, ZX, VX-R and GR Sport models, although Australian model specifications, naming and pricing won’t be revealed until closer to the release date which will be in Q4 this year.

Of particular interest is the GR Sport model, which, with its blacked-out bumpers and wheel arches, make it look like a smaller car, but it also looks to ride higher with more clearance at the front bumper. This should be an appealing model to off-road enthusiasts.

The bullbar manufacturers will be happy to see those joint-lines in the lower front bumper, which suggest it can be removed up to around the level of the bottom of the grille. The front parking sensors also appear to be in the next upper part of the plastics and not in the lower section of the bumper. These factors will allow easier design of bullbars without too much cutting of the factory plastics.

Toyota is also expected to offer its own range of bullbars and accessories for the LC300.

Tuesdays with Story
October 14, 2020

The first word . . .

“Nevertheless, language is as important an invention

as fire. Language―good language―is practically

a “fire that burns unseen.’ And certain lines of poetry

make us, at the same time ‘content and discontent,’

multiplying an ambiguity that exist in all that exist,

for nothing in this world is clear,

save for imbeciles, the world itself.

― Goncalo M. Tavares, “A Voyage to India”. Translated by Rhett McNeil.

And they gathered once more . . .

Ten, including Paul Wagner whom we haven’t seen for a while, gathered Tuesday evening to critique the works of seven of their colleagues. Here is some of what was said:

Jack Freiburger (short and long synopses, A Walk upon the Water). . .

The one page should include a few lines from the longer version, but stay at one page as few prospective publishers will read more.  The two plus page seems to be the better document, but the issue is getting any one to read it.

Kashmira Sheth (chapter 13, Journey to Swaraj). . .

Kashmira submitted chapter 14th of her story Journey to Swaraj. One of the important points was where to put Veena’s thoughts about Mayur’s intention. The group also pointed out that there needed to be more emotions weaved with dialogues throughout the chapter and maybe replace speech tags with action.

Jaime Nelson Noven (chapter 3, Outsleep). . .

 Huckle made a good observation about the negative way Rice describes other female characters. I will look at this. Jack suggested a way to develop the opening jokes more. Larry liked the surprise that it was not Fred’s funeral but his retirement. Thanks, all!

Huckle Rahr (chapter 26, Wolf Healer). . .

This week’s chapter was pivotal in that Jane saw her first where she was part of the killing. The general opinion was that there needs to be more mention of T.J. prior to this interaction so that his death has more meaning to the reader. The readers need to know him better. After the death, Jade needs to have more of a moment of soul searching. Once she joins her family Cindy’s reaction was too melodramatic, there should be a build up, and maybe add some ritualistic animal grieving practices.

Amit Trivedi (chapters 1-2 rewrite, Keeper of the Keys). . .

Explain the significance of praying to Ganesh.

There are many side characters in the first chapter. Rewrite with the focus on the main ones.

Consider something with the word ‘Tree’ as the title of the book.

Mike Austin (short story, “Maiden Voyage”). . .

“Maiden Voyage” received many favorable comments from everyone. Most mentioned was that the narrator’s name and gender be presented soon in the story to avoid confusion. There needs to be a little more clarity in the descriptions at the accident scene in the beginning, Becky interacting with the victim, someone calling the ambulance. There needs to be more menace from the two kids in the park, and it might be too much of a coincidence that these same two people show up five days later in the wilderness, whether I like the idea or not. And if they do, the driving distance needs to be shortened. Also, there is confusion, understandably, between the two menacing kids and the kids who just came out from camping. I’m thinking I’ll just get rid of them and have a pair of park rangers show up instead. Thanks Everyone!

— John Schneller (chapter 27, Broken rewrite). . .

Most found the chapter to be an easy read…. especially those who like to find dragons and wyverns popping out of unexplored caves. Janie pointed out a few clarifications needed. Larry had a few spots he felt were overwritten. Huckle requested rewriting some of the sparring action.  Thanks to all.

Who’s up next . . .

October 20

Kashmira Sheth (chapter, Journey to Swaraj)

Jack Freiburger (long poem)

Amber Boudreau (chapters, Second Nature)

When a period can get you in trouble . . .

NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday last month included a story headlined ARE YOUR TEXTS PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE?

It’s a story about punctuation. Here it is:

Katherine Rooks remembers when she first learned that a punctuation mark could wield a lot of power.

The Denver-based writer had sent her high school-aged son a text message about logistics—coming home from school.

“I could tell from his response that he was agitated all of a sudden in our thread. And when he came home, he walked in the door and he came over and he said, ‘What did you mean by this?’ ”

Rooks was confused. How could an innocuous text message send confusion?

“And so we looked at the text together and I said, ‘Well, I meant, see you later, or something. I don’t remember exactly what it said.’ And he said, ‘But you ended with a period! I thought you were really angry!’ ”

Rooks wasn’t angry, and she explained to her son that, well, periods are how you end a sentence.

But in text messaging—at least for younger adults—periods do more than just end a sentence: they also can set a tone.

Gretchen McCulloch, a linguist and author of the book Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language, told NPR’s All Things Considered last year that when it comes to text messaging, the period has lost its original purpose because rather needing a symbol to indicate the end of a sentence, you can simply hit send on your message.

That doesn’t mean the period has lost all purpose in text messaging. Now it can be used to indicate seriousness or a sense of finality.

But caution is needed, said McCulloch, noting that problems can start to arise when you combine a period with a positive sentiment, such as “Sure” or “Sounds good.”

“Now you’ve got positive words and serious punctuation and the clash between them is what creates that sense of passive-aggression,” said McCulloch.

Binghamton University psychology professor Celia Klin says a period can inadvertently set a tone, because while text messaging may function like speech, it lacks many of the expressive features of face-to-face verbal communication, like “facial expressions, tone of voice, our ability to elongate words, to say some things louder, to pause.”

Our language has evolved, and “what we have done with our incredible linguistic genius is found ways to insert that kind of emotional, interpersonal information into texting using what we have,” said Klin. “And what we have is things like periods, emoticons, other kinds of punctuation. So people have repurposed the period to mean something else.”

And that something else is passive-aggression.

A 2015 study conducted by Klin confirmed as much. Researchers asked undergraduates to evaluate a text exchange that included an innocent question and the answer “Yup.” Some saw “Yup” with a period and some saw the word without.

“And we found consistently through many experiments that ‘Yup’ with a period resulted in responses that were more negative. So people thought ‘Yup’ with a period was less friendly, less sincere, and so on.”

“I actually really don’t like getting text messages that end in periods because it always feels so harsh and passive-aggressive,” said Juan Abenante Rincon, 24, a social media manager for Adidas. “Like, are you mad? What’s going on? Like, did I do something wrong?”

Emma Gometz, a biology student at Columbia University, said the phenomenon can feel especially harsh when the message is brief, like a lone word followed by a period.

“If it’s like ‘OK.’, that’s like, ‘I don’t want to talk to you anymore,’ ” said Gometz, 21.

Kalina Newman, 23, a communications coordinator for the AFL-CIO, said, “It’s in the same vein of somebody saying, ‘We need to talk,’ and then not saying what they want to talk about.”

In other words, enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.

Not everyone shares that view. Isabelle Kravis, 18, a student at American University, says it depends on the context of the conversation.

“If we’re just talking about, like, our favorite movie or something, and someone uses a period at the end of a sentence, I’m not gonna take it, like, aggressively.”

While Kravis is relatively zen when it comes to the period, for others, the thought of texting without it can be enraging. Klin said that her texting study sparked outrage among many.

“They thought it was an insult to their first-grade teacher, and their grandmother, and, you know, America as we know it,” she said.

Klin said the entire debate demonstrates that language is constantly changing—and that’s OK.

“Language evolution’s always happened, it’s going to continue to happen, and isn’t it great that we are so linguistically flexible and creative.”

Writer House Rules: Questions in Publishing . . .

Look, I’m no acquisitions editor, but have you tried writing your query letter with your marketing hat on?

You may have heard that editors are looking for debut authors who already have a big network or social media following. These are no doubt helpful things, but barring that, if you can use facts to (briefly) illustrate how your book is almost guaranteed to find a big audience, this may make up for the fact that you have only eleven Twitter followers.

·      Can you name two comparable titles that (1) came out in the last few years (not including 2020 because of weird lockdown buying behavior), (2) have the same audience as your book, and (3) have sold really well—though not laughablywell (that is, don’t list Harry Potter)?

·      Can you think of three keyword phrases that are related to your book that get tons of search engine traffic, Amazon searches, or social media hashtags? (For example, how many people are googling “werewolf books” in any given month? And is it a trend or is that search behavior here to stay?)

·      If you know a potential blurber for your book, is that person a Facebook ad target? How many people follow them on social media? How many people follow them on Goodreads? In recent years, blurbs have become more important than ever. Network, network, network!

The last word . . .

“I’ve never had writer’s block. However, I’ve had publisher’s block throughout my career.”  – Dary Matera

Last Week
Six regulars and two guests sat down for an evening of critiquing.

First up, Jack Frieburger read a few pages from Path to Bray’s Head. Anne said there were some endless sentences. Holly wondered if the Greek references would come from a sixteen year old boy. She also suggested more visual details as Sean starts to see his family for who they are.

Terry Hoffman read the second scene from her new novel, The Journal. Holly thought the dialog between brother and sister was really good. Said a lot about their characters. Carol suggested more detail – what kind of scent was left on the sweater? How were the books in the library stacked – neatly, or askew? What color sofa? Gives character to the mother who has died. Jack said to strengthen the dialog a bit – go ahead, let them get nasty. There’s years of resentment and anger, here.

Holly Bonnickson-Jones presented a scene from Coming Up For Air. Anne said the situation between mother and daughter resolved too easily. Jack said there were emotional inconsistencies. Hard to get a clear picture of the daughter’s emotional status – let the daughter blow up – really get it out. Carol said maybe she should get so carried away that the situation actually becomes funny, but Annie said to stick with the red, hot, and ugly.

Anne Allen read a scene from her memoir. Jack mentioned Anne was writing like him – a lot of long sentences! Holly liked the diary entries. Though maybe too much info on the acne. Carol wasn’t sure of the purpose of the youth group scene – how does it tie into the rest of the story? And Jack said there has to be a joke about French kissing and the setting of France . . .

Carol Hornung read the climactic scene from Asperger Sunset. Jack wanted more color, more details from Russ as he becomes aware of his situation, but tighten the focus. Angela’s speeches are too long. Holly enjoyed the way Russ decoded the situation – everything he learned had led up to this moment. Terry said to lose some of the speech tags – the dialog conveys the emotion.

Who’s Up Next
Terry Hoffman – scene 3, The Journal
Holly Bonnickson-Jones, chapter Coming Up For Air
Jack Frieburger – Path to Bray’s Head
Annie Potter – scene/chapter from memoir
Carol Hornung, winding down of Asperger Sunset

More on how to protect your computer
Last week, I recommended that you download two free anti-virus/anti-spyware programs – Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware. Those two, combined with McAfee, catch about all the nasties that come down your Internet connection.

But not all.

I once also used Panda. Its backshop pros are really good at keeping up with the new threats hackers create. In place of Panda, last week I added Spyware Doctor. (more…)

Mount Windows folder to Boot2Docker VM

I just stumbled over a post on Stackoverflow ( with the question how to mount a Windows folder to a Boot2Docker VM. Although the steps are a little bit confusing, in the end it is not difficult to do.

Boot2Docker is a simple VM to run Docker. The VM will run on VirtualBox and Boot2Docker is just a tool to provision this VM (very similar to Vagrant, but smaller and customized for using Docker). You simply download and install Boot2Docker and run boot2docker up to start the VM. After the VM is up, you can run boot2docker ssh to login. Now, we can start to get our Windows folder.

Mounting the folder

To use one of your Windows folders in your Boot2Docker VM, you need to mount it. To do so, you mount your Windows folder to the VM:

Now you login to your VM via SSH (with boot2docker ssh) and do the following:

Make a folder inside your VM:

Mount your stuff from Windows:

After that, you can access c:/my/folder/with/code inside your Boot2Docker VM:

Now, that your code is present inside your VM, you can use it with Docker. Either by mounting it as a volume to the container:

Or by using it while building your Docker image:

Best regards,

  1. I spend an hour mounting windows folder in boot2docker. In your example parameters should be reversed

    sudo mount -t vboxsf /opt/my/folder/with/code /my_windows_folder

    instead it should be

    sudo mount -t vboxsf /my_windows_folder /opt/my/folder/with/code

    • I’m sorry that you had trouble with mounting your folder. I checked my post and I actually think the commands are correct: mount -t vboxsf . However, it’s easy to get confused and mixing up the folders (maybe my naming isn’t perfect right here). But if you want to mount your shared folder (the ) as /my_windows_folder you should use this:

      sudo mount -t vboxsf /opt/my/folder/with/code /my_windows_folder

      You can use the VirtualBox UI to validate if your shared folder is really added under the name “/opt/my/folder/with/code”.

  2. You can also do the creation of the shared folder by the VirtualBox Manager GUI.
    Then you have to connect with “docker-machine ssh $VM_NAME” and run the command “sudo mound -t vboxsf $SHARED_FOLDER_NAME /path/to/mount/point”

    The rest works as described.

    I used this with installed Docker Toolbox 1.12.0 on Windows 7.

  3. Same problem as Fred. Do you have to do this everytime docker machine restarts? That seems tedious and a bit annoying

Former Panthers tight end Greg Olsen says son's heart 'reaching its end'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- TJ Olsen needs a new heart.

Those who have followed the career of former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, who retired in January to pursue a job as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports, are familiar with TJ’s story.

TJ, 8, was born in 2012 with a congenital heart defect that required four surgeries, including three open heart procedures and the installation of a pacemaker.

He had been leading as typical of a childhood as possible, even serving as a bat boy for his older brother’s 2019 Little League team that fell one win short of making the Cal Ripken Invitational World Series in Florida.

On Monday, Olsen announced in a series of tweets TJ’s heart was "reaching its end" and it "ultimately could lead to a transplant."

Olsen and his wife, Kara, established the HEARTest Yard initiative shortly after the birth of TJ and his twin sister, Talbot, to raise money for less fortunate families going through crises like theirs.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection has donated millions to the foundation and to the construction of a 25,000-square-foot facility at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte known as the "HEARTest Yard Congenital Heart Center." TJ is in the care of doctors at the facility.

"We don’t know how long we will be within these hospital walls," Olsen wrote on Twitter. "We do know that we are in full control of our attitudes and our outlook."

Olsen made Charlotte his permanent home even after spending the last year of his career with the Seattle Seahawks. He told ESPN in 2019 how much joy he got out of doing things like coaching his son’s Little League team after years of dealing with TJ’s surgeries.

He called it arguably the best time of his life.

"I learned that the simplest things made me the happiest," Olsen said. "On a Friday night when a lot of people wanted to do a million different things, I was taking the boys to practice, then meeting my wife and daughter and the other families for pizza down the street, sitting there and hanging out with the other families and my kids and wife.

"We didn’t need to do anything fancy or go on fancy trips. It was really a unique experience. I really enjoyed it."

Now TJ is fighting for his life again, and Olsen is there fighting with him.

"TJ has been a fighter since birth," Olsen wrote in thanking everyone for their prayers. "We are going to get through this as a family and be better off as a result of this experience."

Olsen said on Instagram that TJ had a test Tuesday to gather data to find the best transplant candidate possible.

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey said he’s exchanged texts with Olsen.

“This is one of those times that is not really explainable,’’ he said after Tuesday's offseason practice. “What a brutal situation. For those of you who don’t know, TJ is one of the best little kids in the world. At 8 years old to go through what he’s gone through in his life and add this on top of it is just sad.

“I know they have such an amazing support system around him. We are all here for the Olsen family, and I know the entire North Carolina and South Carolina community is as well. Everybody is here for the Olsens. [Greg] is somebody that just exemplifies what it means to be a great player and even a better person off the field.’’
