How Long Did Losec Take To Work

Little Red



Back Baux de Provence, it was interesting to invite some friends to a tasting with a theme: Large Red de Provence. Some are particularly fond of Bandol, it seemed a good opportunity to do some comparisons between different soils of this region often underestimated for its reds.

This tasting has confirmed that this region produced some extraordinary things, and the reputation of Bandols in terms of aging potential is not overrated! The wine arrived

clearly ahead of the vote: Pradeaux 1996.
Then tie: Bond Tour 98, Mas Sin Lauzière Nominated 2005, Hauvette 2004 and 2005 Pradeaux

Small list of wines tasted, and my brief tasting notes ... (A cold, unwelcome love me ... slightly disabled)

1 - The surprise guest: Domain Milan - Grand Blanc 2007 - Vin de Table (Les Baux de Provence).
squatter unexpected in the evening "Red", it will be drunk by eating (and greatly appreciated)

2 - Domaine de la Brillane 2008 - Coteaux d'Aix en Provence
Young, pronounced acidity. Final rather pretty, and on roasted cherry fruit, slightly milky. Request
integrate a little, but seems to have a nice potential.

3 - Pontet Bagatelle Cuvee Rubis 2000 - Coteaux d'Aix en Provence
Joli nose red fruit and vanilla, with a beginning of change. The attack is pretty cool, then tannins still very (too) these take the baton. The finish is still very tight.

4 - Pradeaux 1995 - Bandol
powerful and complex nose, animal (viandox) and prunes. The tannins are huge but paradoxallment well blended. The final, very slightly dry, is very long, with aromas of tobacco tertiary cold. A superb wine, which we imagine that so many of tannins make it drinkable for many years ... A great wine that still has 5 years quietly before him.

5 - Pradeaux 1996 - Bandol
Very end. Very complex aroma of red fruit, blood. Superb tannins, perfectly melted. The finish is again on tobacco. A very elegant wine, to drink.

6 - Pradeaux 1997 - Bandol
Okay. Aromas too advanced, obviously "bret" (unpleasant smells fake leather). Acid, dry tannins and angular, unbalanced. Final without complexity, on the prunes. He has clearly exceeded its useful life.

7 - Domaine de l'Olivette 2000 - Bandol
Not very intense aromas, silky tannins pretty well cast, and quite elegant.

8 - Trevallon 2000 - Vin de Pays des Bouches du Rhone (Baux de Provence)
corked !!!!! ARG! I who had brought the bottle, hoping to pin the damn Bandols ... Very disappointed, then.
(PS: Do not entammer me before the debate on the closure - "for or against screw caps" - for at least two weeks, thank you ...)

9 - Hauvette 2004 - Baux de Provence
Aromatically still on the reserve, rather discrete. But what a structure! Right, with great freshness and a sense of balance. I am convinced that this superb wine will win to keep a few years to become more complex in flavor.

10 - Lauzière Mas Sin Nominated 5765 (2005) - Vin de Table (Les Baux de Provence)
Ohlala! A big bowl of chocolate at Angelina! Nose: cocoa. Taste: cocoa, in the final cocoa, velvety, sweet, ripe, balanced tannins, but beautifully rounded impressive. Mmmmm! THE big surprise of the evening.

11 - Pradeaux 2001 - Bandol
At first glance, unbalanced, alcohol, volatile (aroma of nail polish). Then aeration, the aromas of brandy distilled from fruit, and a beautiful area with impressive tannins. A wine to remember a few years?

12 - Domaine Terres Promises - The Antidote 2004 - Coteaux Varois
Very (too?) "Nature" ... Earn a little ventilation but ... bof. But it seems like we drank the penultimate bottle of that vintage still available, which was the first vintage of the producer, the symbolic value of the won ...

13 - La Tour du Bon, St Ironwood 1998 - Bandol
A little discreet nose is the structure of this wine, which amazed me! Huge tannins, massive, powerful ... but what is hidden behind the elegant austerity. A wine still in its infancy, despite his ten years ... It him missing at least as much to reach its peak!

Thanks Anissa & Vincent, the cellar of the Pig for their hospitality and for this special occasion meal: Lamb shoulder rolled and pickled, spiced rice.


The thin full team


The angry gesture: go to a sink Trevallon 2000, cap ...

second Coffee Den Tuesday, July 28, 2009 FIRST

What alternatives to capitalism?

Hosted by Patrick Knorr

The debate was introduced by excerpts from the book by Hervé Kempf "How the Rich are Destroying the Earth " (Editions du Seuil, 14 €.)

" (...) A predatory and greedy ruling class, wasting his living, misuse of power, an obstacle course which change is needed urgently. It does not project is animated by any ideal, not issue a rallying call. Having defeated the Soviet system, the neoliberal ideology does not know what s'autocélébrer. Almost all spheres of power and influence are subject to its pseudo-realism, which claims that any alternative is impossible and that the only conceivable way is leading to ever increasing wealth.
This representation of the world is not only sinister, she is blind. It ignores the explosive power of injustice, underestimates the severity of the poisoning of the biosphere, promotes the reduction of civil liberties. She is indifferent to the deterioration of living conditions of the majority of men and women willing to do squander chances of survival of future generations. "

THEN THE DEBATE IS ON: That's what was said by an art-and others:

Everything can be learned but no policy courses in Education. So there is a depoliticization mass of people transformed into obedient, which is a fundamental problem.
Yes, but not in the mass, we can act on its own scale to make things happen.
It teaches economics at school, but what kind of economy?
education makes us young soldiers. Capitalism that the economy is in the hands of those who do not produce.
system, it participates in all developing individualism, giving bread and games. This is not a problem of education is an issue proposals and values. How do people want change society?
We are on earth to work but we must give new meaning to capitalism. Work has lost its recognition that he could give to man.
70 years ago, the man was working to feed his family, today he works for the superfluous. That is a problem of values.

To return to the topic tonight what are our alternatives?

The refusal of the consumer society has long existed, in the early 70s (communities, ....). Examples of initiatives are numerous:
- short circuit
distribution - self-build
- Energy independence
- sharing knowledge
- local currency or barter for services exchanged
- microcredit
- pooled procurement, pooling of equipment
- solidarity economy, SCOP
... In the streets of Colmar there is an establishment exchange of services between neighbors. For this to work, there is the necessity of the encounter, knowledge and respect between people.
That's the social bond, which is the basis of everything. We need to revive local democracy.
There is thus an important role of the politician but there is also a problem of choice in light of the current offer. This
is also due to the political attitude of each, were elected officials we deserve.
These are personal actions that will connect to create the next revolution.
The capitalist system no longer needs the policy, it can live independently.
The current crisis demonstrates, it must regulate capitalism by obvious measures:
- removal of pension funds
- coaching credits.
Salary is the basis of capitalism. We exist by our salary allows us to live. This wage has declined in recent decades. There are more and more wealth and less and less work.
must be created the income history.
must reflect the amount of salary compared to a real reduction of working time which frees up time to evolve.
Historically, there is a need for collective work for the survival of the human face of adversity. This spirit of survival, encouraged by these difficulties, will make a difference.

Is there an alternative to capitalism?

It is not necessarily a replacement system but it is the individual or local actions will eventually lead to a new political project.
is a value problem. The work is become a value as the emergence of the industrial world. Family for example has long been a core value. Only emergency
will move people. How does it happen to make people aware? Today, perhaps the Greens who have the opportunity and they should seize it.
What is capitalism and what we gene in this system? He does not know
share equitably.
Evil is the property but the property is also the dynamics of society.
There is a large force of imitation of the capitalist system.
We must speak of decline, this is no longer heretical even if it shines a lot of people. What
defined wealth today? Is the GDP, which mean nothing.
An example of an alternative is the proposed conversion Ecological Society (The Greens) which covers the following areas:
- Contribution climate / energy
- Transport
- Improving the energy performance of buildings
- Conversion of basins jobs to renewable energy industries
- Change of aid to agriculture
Obama seems to have adopted this type of social project. Denmark's long experiment.
The only alternative is between capitalism and Marxism.
must combine the individualism that is necessary for some areas and collectivism.
Capitalism does not work, Marxism either. We must find a compromise solution such as in small tribes of Native Americans. It is the human fact that has frustrated the global systems, only small communities can regulate this problem.
It takes three-joint of the company:
-
economic - political
- civil society
Today there is an imbalance between these components, stifles economic. We must restore its place in civil society.
The problem is not wealth, is that although part of the wealthy, we are not happy in this society.
Wealth is still a problem because it is always at the expense of someone.
Primitive societies were well organized ruined by contact with other tribes and especially by the confiscation of some information. This confiscation continues in our society where information is controlled by capital.
There is often blocked because the citizen is placed in situations of fear with a heavy responsibility of the media in the hands of s into the system.
Mutualism is a real alternative to capitalism.
Unfortunately, there was degeneration of the French banking system which was originally mutualist.
However, the social economy is still living in France especially in the areas of insurance and social protection. It offers in addition to working conditions more favorable to employees. This system works
(SCOP, cooperatives ...) and it might work in all areas (eg schools cooperatives).

change will come from above, it will come from humans. We have to stop capitalizing must be changed individually.

Witty Things To Write In Guest Book At Wedding

Coffee Den

Bigger Picture ... by what alternatives (introduction and discussion)

Hosted by Christian Weiss

Forty people around a large table in the sweetness of a summer evening on the terrace of the inn Remspach in Cleo and Mark gathered for this first Stammtisch Citizen AC (SAC !!!!) around a theme proposed by Dominique and Christian who launched the initiative of a Coffee Den in Florival.
After a short introduction to locate and "framing" the debate, the floor is left to those who were eager to share-es, exchange. Of anger experiences related to sound and concrete proposals, the diversity of interventions made the wealth of this first encounter, even if sometimes we were far from the theme initiated. This report is necessarily incomplete as it is always difficult to transcribe more than 3 hours
debate.

INTRODUCTION:
Liberalism, financial bubble, deregulation, favoritism, political lobbying, all this led us to a serious crisis and the capitalist house of cards collapsed.
Many took refuge in individualism, believing able to get by "working more to earn more" by accumulating assets, consuming in excess, traveling halfway around the world in luxury hotels sunny feet in the sand but which does not even left the chamber. It feels good that we went into the wall and that some warning messages are now more meaningful.
We can also re-create social ties, regroup in initiatives, consume less and more locally, rediscover the joy of daily pleasures, recognize the "other" who will give you something or who will bring something , replace the human in our relationships, exchange, tolerance, respect ...
course itself can be a limiting factor of frustration. But we should not forget to think globally to understand that conversion to social, economic and ecological our society, our planet is inevitable. And this break may also resemble the words of Gandhi: "Live simply allow other just live "....

DEBATE:
Yes, we are in the country, a continent rich, but the minimum is even more certain (food, shelter, clothing) for many people. We must recreate the "solidarity" in the same area, enrich the experiences of others to advance the action and local initiatives: AMAP, buying group, mountain markets with local products, circuit courts food distribution for example. Several projects are underway and implemented in the valley of Florival Association (VAL-Linthal Collective Citizen-Guebwiller). If there is much talk of bio, there is also the high price of these products. However, we must not forget that it also depends on the subsidy system that leads to monoculture (subsidies per hectare) and not the quality or the encouragement of agricultural conversion. It must also be attentive to the scarcity of raw materials and first to the most vital water and thus save, preserve
... When we say "it goes straight into the wall" with the liberal system, capitalist current, it should be noted that we speak of a category (more general, broad people) but that's not all: the haves, the rich are doing and continue to enjoy tax breaks, endowments and investments in financial havens. They are only few cases masses of unemployed people left out since only their profit is important. Work is no longer a value, it becomes a privilege.
Our consumerist behaviors are criticized, propaganda, advertising, excess, but it is not trivial, because an entire system that leads to these behaviors, and even the acceptance of this system by a sleep General-driven media. In politics, there has few alternative programs and it will take the finding of a very shaky democracy. The bitter that result from anger should be able to translate into action: eating is a political act, a garden is a revolutionary act.
Speaking of housing and the need to build still more HLM (SRU law not applied in full of Commons), it is clear that this is not done. In addition, some note that this is not the only solution. Those who live in these bars are all these blocks to get out and move elsewhere for better quality of life. In addition, if you count the number of empty homes, one quickly realizes that the situation is exacerbated by the owners who determine criteria for hire (employment, security, racism sometimes ...) and prefer to leave their premises empty rather than rent "taking risks"!
For clothing, there are flea markets, recycling, scholarships and exchanges that are alternatives to reduce its budget "duds".
can also live better with simple things that are not expensive, not necessarily travel in faraway lands, but go to meet others and share (that means "I pay for that for me? ).
The lack of reaction to the current situation may be related to a low level of consciousness (but when you're in survival, it is not easy to "rise"), related to the fear of going out Herd, think for yourself ..., also linked to the conditioning, propaganda, disinformation, media manipulation, speeches, promises ....
But the value of money can also "to denigrate" in the future. We can recover the sense of sharing, pool tools, initiate small things coming together, recreating the neighborhood communities and especially back of the human in our lives, our relationships.
Knowledge Exchange (the Rezo), social economy (which is not taught in any school work or even in high school economics courses), practical steps local field activities to raise consciousness, politicize the Ecology and do not bury it in the ecocitizenship without attacking the causes and greening vocabulary ambient ouster of its meaning (organic, sustainable, low-carbon, etc ...), helping to relocate production and continue the civic engagement, associational trade union, political union because the pressure is still useful to move towards change, to show that we do not agree, as resistors exist.
should not necessarily expect changes from a state, but starting with himself, by his entourage, the changes have always come from "active minorities".
