Sour Grapes - Greta rant on Scott McClellan
2008-05-29 15:00:00 I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Scott McClellan’s new book on Hooah Wife.

Instead of barfing, I’ll share some humor with you that puts the whole thing into perspective. Oh ya Scott ...

Great grapes, simple pleasures
2008-05-01 17:30:00 Lately a lot of radio stations have been doing bits on life’s simple pleasures.

Democrats: Sour Grapes & Bad Attitudes = Bad Losers
2008-04-24 00:22:00 There is one thing for sure; an observation I can make about the blindingly loyal Obamabots -- They have nothing nice to say about Hillary.I find it ridiculously hypocritical to spend so much time bashing Clinton, demanding that she quit, and calling her unelectable when it is Obama that has lost the last couple of contests.I am not like them, because if I were, it would be completely reasonable to now demand that he stops his campaign and steps aside. Hillary is the most current winner, and the one that has lead more recently in the primaries. I could advance that Obama is in fact experiencing some "buyer's remorse" from the loyal. I am one of those that agonized, flipped and flopped, but when I took the time to hear them both speak made my choice, and she is the one I prefer, but I will not fully denounce him because of it.You can't hate her with all your might, and then say you will support her if she runs against McCain.

Grapes
2008-02-20 08:24:00 Hi friends, I am leaving for Mahabaleshwar, nicknamed the strawberry country today, the 16th Feb. Hence, the posts in advance. Will be back on the 20th to post lovely photos from the Strawberry Country. Have a nice weekend.Grapes are a rich source of nutrients. They are high in phytonutrients, antioxidants and they have ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant good for arteries that helps decrease inflammation. Reseachers comparing diets in Western countries have discovered that although thew French tend to eat higher levels of animal fat, surrprisingly the incidence of heart disease remains low in France. Scientists believe the reason is the greater consumption of red wine in France.Something in grapes helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the body and thus slows the buildup of deposits in the arteries. Compounds such as resveratrol, discovered in grapes, have been positively linked to fighting cancer, hearyt disease, degenerative nerve disease, arthritis and other ailments.Sourcemumba...
Damn Those Grapes For Making Washington State Money! How Dare They!
2008-02-15 16:10:00 Beware - - she's on another rant. Run for cover!A few weeks ago I read a letter to the editor in the local paper. The writer was from Milton-Freewater, Oregon (which is 10 miles from Walla Walla, WA) and she was complaining, not only about the wineries in Walla Walla selling the heathen devil's juice, but also complaining about a new Harley-Davidson sales room that was going downtown Walla Walla. Yup, the last thing we need in Walla Walla is another winery contributing to our state/county/and city revenue, let alone encouraging the sorted bunch of ruffian outlaws like the local doctors, attorneys, bankers and funeral directors to buy another Harley-Davidson for their collection. How silly this person is. And my answer to her is: If she doesn’t like wine and Harley-Davidsons in Walla Walla, then stay in Oregon. As it is in Washington State, as a courtesy to our Oregon neighbors, we do not charge them sales tax on their purchased items. It is a courtesy depending on the retailer a...

'The Grapes of Wrath' - A Study in Detail (Part II)
2008-02-06 13:46:00 (Part I – see previous post) Steinbeck in this epoch-making novel ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ has also described the concept of ‘oversoul’. Many philosophers and men of religion, not only in America but also in other parts of the world, have expressed their belief that there is an ‘oversoul’ of which all human beings are parts. In ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ this idea has been given a practical shape when the Joad family, after many deaths and separations, realizes that the only way of being happy in this world is to love others like oneself and help them as far as possible. Steinbeck has Casy rephrase Emerson’s concepts of the Oversoul and self-reliance. He helps unite the prisoners in California jail when they effectively protest against the sour food there and his death during the abortive strike at the Hooper ranch results in more determination on the part of those who survive him, including Tom.Emerson, a great American poet, had earlier expressed his belief in the exi...

'The Grapes of Wrath' - A Study in Detail (Part I)
2008-02-03 16:42:00 The Grapes of Wrath is a strongly sustained social and political narrative that provides and accurate and faithful description of a critical period in American history. The novel is a post-depression novel and the writer John Steinbeck’s epic masterpiece of social consciousness in its picture of helpless people crushed by drought and depression. The novel is usually described as a novel of social protest, for it exposes the desperate conditions under which one group of American workers, the migratory farm families, was forced to live during 1930s.In the depths of the greatest economic depression these people had to abandon their homes and their livelihoods. They were uprooted and set adrift because tractors were rapidly industrializing the Southern cotton fields and because erosion and drought were creating the Dust Bowl in wide areas of Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. While many of the families moved only short distances, yet one hundred and fifty thousand moved...

The base price of the grapes is already 67% higher
2008-01-25 03:37:00 [imgr]http://www.mendozaesvino.-com.ar/blog/files/09214948.jpg[-/imgr]There are three factors that drive up the price of grapes and wine this vintage (see separate): That there are fewer grapes in parrales, that there is very little stock or white wine drained core, and that there are new wineries and mosteras that will buy this season in the local market, as explained yesterday and viateros bodegueras entities. Faced with that prognosis low supply and high demand for the next harvest, large processing enterprises have already come to offer $ 0.50 per kilo of grapes to ensure the provision in the next harvest. That price represents a 67 percent increase compared to $ 0.30 per kilo that initially quoted grape at this stage last year. And a kilo of grapes to $ 0.50 guaranteed starting a price of 0.70 for a litre of white wine drained, a good price as recognized in the industry. "Indeed, this will be an interesting harvest," said Angel yesterday Leotta, president of the Wine House, the...

Kathleen Turner Finds These Grapes To Be Sour
2008-01-23 22:59:00 So once upon a time, Kathleen Turner was a Hollywood bombshell. In the 80's she was working in Cate Blanchett/Angelina Jolie territory in films like "Prizzi's Honor", "Body Heat" and "Romancing The Stone". What happened? Well, Hollywood is pretty sexist. So when Kathy started gaining weight due to arthritis or drinking or something, she got written off. The film roles stopped coming, and she kinda got relegated to stage work and stunt casting on shows such as "Friends" and "Nip/Tuck". What's a gal to do? Well, she's still fierce and apparently full of booze and realizing she's not going to ascend to the heights she was once at - so it's time to sell everyone out in a book! Her new tome, "Send Yourself Roses" (we all show, really), tears celebrities such as Nicholas Cage, Burt Reynolds and William Hurt a new one. That puffiness in her face is caused by her venom sacs! Kathy paints Nicholas Cage as a total pinhead saying that on the set of "Peggy Sue Got Married" he "went agains...

How Grapes May Protect Against Alzheimer's
2008-01-08 13:50:00 A research presented at the Society for Neuroscience conference, an annual gathering of neuroscientists to present their research, says that resveratrol, quercetin, catechins and other phytonutrients found in grapes may protect against the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The study may as well suggest that eating grapes regularly will be beneficial for the long-term health of the brain and for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's disease affects 24 million people worldwide and those usually affected are people over the age of 65. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the formation of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.Dr. Nancy Berman of the University of Kansas, School of Medicine is the lead researcher in this finding and she conducted her experiment on aging mice. One group of mice were given a grape-enriched diet while the other controlled group were not given grapes. The results of the experiment showe...
Grapes May Prevent Alzheimer's
2007-12-25 23:53:00 Grapes May Prevent Alzheimer'sResveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, may be prove to be a potent weapon in the battle against Alzheimer's. Fights Amyloid-Beta Peptides A study has shown that it lowers levels of the amyloid-beta peptides, which are responsible for the plaques leading to Alzheimer's disease. Scientists administered resveratrol to cellsthat produce human amyloid-beta; they found that levels of amyloid-beta in the treated cells dropped significantly. Further Research Needed It is uncertain, however, if simply eating a resveratrol-rich diet will have the same effect; follow-up research is therefore being conducted to identify the molecular mechanisms that resveratrol triggers to fight Alzheimer's. The compound may act by stimulating the proteasome, a multi-protein complex that can digest other proteins. Could Fight Other Diseases Resveratrol may also be effective in fighting other human amyloid-related diseases such as Huntington's, Parkinson's and ...

20% less in grapes
2007-11-12 07:37:00 [img]http://www.mendozaesvino.c-om.ar/blog/files/04200738.jpg[/-img] SAN JUAN.-Las frost September played against the table grape quality, the first to be exported, and producers already portend a decline of 20% this season. The figure is not less for San Juan which concentrates 82% of the production of table grapes and raisins in the country. This 20% less than harvested grape mean about 600 hectares less than the 3,000 that the province has with these varieties, as confirmed by Jose Molina, president of the Chamber of Producers Viticultural. The first grapes, which are harvested before the rest, were the hardest hit. It is white seedless varieties such as higher and sultana that are dual purpose, can be allocated for consumption in fresh or dried. What we still can not be established, according to Molina, is the decline in the volume of exports, since it depends on the decision of each producer season, if sold for export as table grapes or go to the pass.

'The Grapes of Wrath'
2007-09-12 17:21:00 ‘The Grapes of Wrath’, one of the landmarks in not only American fiction but also in world literature. It was written by John Steinbeck in 1939. It was one of the post-depression novels of Steinbeck. The economic depression of 1930, had taken heavy toll by the means of mass unemployment and migration, of people from eastern to south-western parts, in large numbers. The author has, in this novel, narrated the impact of that depression on socio-economic life of poor people. ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ is thus, chiefly a long panorama of suffering and misery of Joad family, who, like thousands of others, migrated to California in the south-west. Steinbeck has used a number of symbolic allusions including the title – ‘The Grapes of Wrath’.The title has been borrowed from the song ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’ written by Julia Ward Howe. The ‘grapes’ here are symbolic – they may be sour as well as sweet. While the sour grapes are unpalatable, the sweet ones are like...

You won’t find grapes at this Connecticut winery
2007-08-22 09:27:00 I love stories like this. The one like the "Little Winery that Could"... I am very glad to see that the fruit wine industry in Connecticut is growing fast. Now at 27 wineries and a lot of them being fruit wineries, this gives me one more reason to visit!SHERMAN, Conn. – White Silo Farm and Winery isn’t very big or elaborate.There are no 300-gallon fermentation bins, no oak barrels for aging, no fancy corking or bottling machinery.In fact, there are no grapes. Not one single grape.Instead, there are raspberry and blackberry bushes, black currant shrubs, cherry trees and rhubarb plants.That’s because the small, family-owned business is a fruit winery, tucked away along the border of Connecticut and New York. And in the last five years, it has become part of a sharp growth of specialty and traditional wineries in Connecticut and across the nation.Wineries in Connecticut have more than doubled in the last six years, from 11 to 27, according to statistics compiled by the National A...
