Once and Future Wine
Oakley Road Vineyard
The soils at Oakley Road vineyard are so sandy that early growers in this region were disparaged as "sandlappers." Little did those wags know that the delta sands, with their Phylloxera inhibiting properties, would be the key to the survival of some amazing 100-plus-year-old, own-rooted, unirrigated vines. The micro climate of Oakley allows grapes to ripen early. It is not so much that it is hot during the growing months—the average temperature is about 74 degrees with the nights in the mid 50s and the days in the 90s during the month of July and August—but that the sandy soils warm earlier in the year than most other areas in California, and vine growth starts sooner. As the season progresses, the grapes continue to ripen consistently in spite of the cooling maritime winds from the Carquinez straits, due to the reflected sun from the Antioch sandy soils.
The resulting wines can be, in a word, graceful. The combination of own roots, old vines, deep sandy soils, and cooling afternoon breezes seems to encourage gentle, suave wines. Some winemakers like to make big, powerful, dark wines from these grapes, though I believe the wines are much more enjoyable, interesting, complex, and finer when picked earlier.
These Oakley Road vines may not be around much longer. This part of Contra Costa (CoCo for short) is changing rapidly. It has been an industrial backwater for a long time. High tension electrical lines, a PG&E power plant, and motels that rent by the hour stand in contrast to an inordinate number of churches and an increasing reality of fast food restaurants that populate a disjointed human landscape. There is increasing urbanization as roads are widened and BART pushes east. Many of these vineyards are for sale with inflated land prices, having been designated as commercial land—the result being land costs that are more compatible with strip malls than farming. For now, the vines remain in the ground, producing viticultural treasure. And for now, we continue to make lovely wine and cherish our moment.
2019 Oakley Road Vineyard Mataro Contra Costa
92 pts Vinous - Antonio Galloni, Jan 2021
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Mataro has an aroma that is redolent of sweet red cherries, with hints of bay leaf and wood smoke. There is dollop of vanilla and caramel from the new (25%) French oak that adds roundness and depth to the bouquet. In the mouth the wine is bright, rich and red fruit driven with all the suppleness that one would expect from own roots vines in such sandy soils.
119-year-old vines, 8X8 head pruned, picked 9/6/2019, 14.4% Alcohol, pH 3.58, TA 5.5 g/L, 360 cases bottled in July 2020.
2019 Oakley Road Vineyard Zinfandel Contra Costa
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Oakley Road Zinfandel has aromatics that are a harmonious mix of black raspberries and pomegranates mingling with hints of vanilla, allspice and sandalwood. The wine is full in the mouth with sweet raspberry/cherry flavors. The finish is juicy, long, and punctuated by the lovely silky tannin finish that define these Oakley own rooted sandy soil wines.
119-year-old vines, 8X8 head pruned, picked 9/6/2019, 14.9% alcohol, pH 3.43, TA 6.3g/L, 555 cases bottled in November 2020.
Dickerson Vineyard
In the heart of Napa Valley, in the Rutherford appellation to be exact, grows a vineyard that is a throwback to Napa Valley's past. This vineyard was planted in 1920 by Charlie Volpi on Zinfandel Lane (where else would you expect to find great Zin in Napa?) well before Cabernet Sauvignon became the dominate Napa Valley grape. It was planted early enough so that the dry farmed vines are on St. George rootstock, head pruned with 8x8 spacing, but late enough so that it is all of one variety, 100% Zinfandel. It is likely that varietally labeled grapes were easier sell to home winemakers during prohibition. The soil in this vineyard is Bale loam which is typical of Napa Valley floor vineyards.
For many years this vineyard was preserved and cared for by Dr. Bill Dickerson. He was a serious wine lover and collector. The pressure on him to pull out these old vines and plant Cabernet Sauvignon must have been great, but he persisted, having developed a respect for the history, tradition and quality that these old shy bearing (1.5 to 2 tons/acre) vines represent. I began working with Dickerson vineyard in 1982, not so long after I released my first wines from Ravenswood. Dickerson became one of the most popular of the Ravenswood Single Vineyard designated Zinfandels. The wines were dramatic. Cedar cigar box, mint and red raspberries were descriptors frequently used to describe the wine. At least part of that drama came from the very large Eucalyptus trees that were planted at the north end of the vineyard. A few years ago, one of those trees threatened to fall and was removed. This also removed some of the minty aromatic overlay revealing the true nature of the vibrant red fruited Zinfandel underneath. I had the good fortune to start receiving a small amount of the Dickerson vineyard fruit for Once & Future wine in 2019.
2019 Dickerson Vineyard Zinfandel
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Dickerson Zinfandel is pure Zinfandel. Brilliant, but not dark in color. Bright red currents, raspberry fruit and baking spice scents with hints of mint and cedar aromas are supported by the subtle vanilla and toast of the French oak (40% new). Bright, mouthwatering and juicy on the palate, the wine finishes with soft tannins that are pleasing and do not detract from the freshness or purity of this wine.
100-year-old vines, 8x8 head pruned, picked 9/17/2019, 15% Alcohol, pH 3.61, TA 6.1 g/L, 150 cases bottled in November 2020.
Green & Red Vineyard
I met Jay Heminway many years ago. He was thoughtful, clearly artistic, a little reserved (for a guy who raced motorcycles) but very enthusiastic about his winery project in Napa's Chiles Valley. He and I started our respective wineries about the same time. He in 1977 and I in 1976. We were enthusiastic about Zinfandel, founding members, in 1992, of Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP), and both had connections to Berkeley and Chez Panisse. When asked why he didn't plant Cabernet Sauvignon like everyone else he would respond that he had tasted some Zinfandels that were the equivalent of any of the Napa Cabs that he had tried. I concur. So, he planted Zinfandel and some Petite Sirah on the steep slopes of red Chert that gave his winery half of its name. The other half of the name is derived from the green bands of Serpentine that are also found on the property. The Zinfandel he produced from these hard-won vineyards was wonderful, confirming his faith in the grape and the site. Jay became a mountain man in Chiles Valley. He didn't like to leave his idyllic property much and as a consequence my primary connection with him was tasting and appreciating his wine. Not long before he passed away I managed to coax him off his mountain to be interviewed by me for a ZAP event in San Francisco. He was the same thoughtful, artistic, reserved but enthusiastic guy that I had met many years before but now I also noticed a bright note of smiling humor in his eye and a comfort in demeanor that you see in people who are living a fulfilling life.
After Jay was gone, his daughter Tobin took on the life project that she had grown up with. She, and the rest of the family, continue to produce wines that have the "unique to place" character that is so special to the Green and Red Vineyard. She has also began sharing some of the grapes that come from the vineyard. I count myself lucky to be among those chosen to share Jay Heminway's legacy. My grapes come from the Tip Top vineyard that is one of the three sections of the Heminway vineyard as it is now being called by others, like Turley and Biale, who also get grapes from this vineyard. While I love the fact that Jay's name is now attached to the vineyard, it will always be Green and Red to me. As a consequence, the Once & Future wine carries the Green and Red name. I am pretty sure that Jay would have loved the wine that also carries the "unique" sense of the place that he loved.
Once & Future's Green and Red Vineyard Zinfandel is 80% Zinfandel and 20% Petite Sirah from the steepest part of the northeast facing slope of the section of the vineyard known as Tip Top. The two varieties are picked at the same time and co-fermented in an open top redwood fermenter employing the vineyard's indigenous yeast for fermentation, and aged in 30% new French oak barrels.
2019 Green & Red Vineyard Zinfandel
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Green and Red Zinfandel has a deep colored wine's aroma redolent of plums, cherries and black pepper. There is a touch of the vanilla and toast of French oak that is beautifully balanced with the ethereal perfumed scents associated with this elevated site. Full and rich in the mouth with pleasing freshness punctuated by fine supportive tannins. Delicious now, this wine will continue to give pleasure to the drinker for many years.
23-year-old vines, Vertical shoot positioned, picked 9/26/2019, 15% Alcohol, pH 3.56, TA 6.5 g/L, 350 cases bottled November 2020.
Old Hill Ranch
I first visited Old Hill Ranch in 1975 with Joe Swan. What we found was an ancient vineyard mostly overgrown with poison oak, blackberries, and grease brush with some junk thrown in for good measure. It was just marginally maintained by a group of long-haired youth, to whom I could relate, who were in part looking for a simpler, back-to-the-land lifestyle. They sold some of the grapes to Sebastiani and used the rest for homemade wine.
In 1981, Otto and Anne Teller, who owned the organically farmed Oak Hill Ranch across the highway from Old Hill, purchased the vineyard. In 1983, Otto called to ask if I would be interested in helping revive the vineyard and make wine from the grapes. Otto was a wine lover, but also was somewhat eccentric. He was generous to a fault, prodigious in his creative and generative energy, and uncompromising in his devotion to the natural world and the quality of life. Otto could also be gruff and taciturn. In fact, he frightened my children. However, he was determined to continue to farm the vineyard organically without irrigation. When we started working with the vineyard, it was only producing about one half ton/acre, which is extremely low. That didn't seem to bother Otto at all; he was just interested in making good wine. I was definitely on board. I made some of the most interesting wines of my career from this vineyard during that era.
What I subsequently learned was that I was working with one of the most historic and storied vineyards of early California.
In 1848, William McPherson Hill from Philadelphia set out on a seven-month voyage around Cape Horn to join the men rushing to San Francisco searching for gold. Hill quickly determined that by selling goods to the miners, he could make more money with less effort than mining. He started a mercantile company and came to realize that there was a shortage of fruit and, perhaps more important, good wine. In 1851, he purchased his ranch in Glen Ellen from General Mariano Vallejo and began planting peach orchards and grapes. His peaches must have been good because they sold for the equivalent of $30 dollars apiece in current dollars.
Grape growing was still very experimental in California. It was hard to know what to plant because there was no history with grape varieties other than Mission, so people like Hill planted a wide variety of grapes. In 1873, a local periodical reported that Hill was growing 53 types of grapes. This number surely included table grapes. Many of those varieties still exist in the vineyard. DNA tests have named some varieties that were difficult to identify, but others are still unidentifiable even with DNA. Among the grapes Hill planted was Black Saint Peter. This variety, which was "prized for its fruit intensity, acidity, and color," according to the local periodical, in actuality was Zinfandel.
Hill started a winery and by all reports was producing some of the best Zinfandel in California. His 1866 vintage took first place at the national exposition. Thomas Hart Hyatt, publisher of the Pacific Rural Press, reviewed Hill's wine: "We sampled a bottle of wine from the cellar of Wm. McPherson Hill made from the Zinfandel grape, a new variety that is growing in favor with winemakers… The wine was pronounced by the gentlemen who tasted it to be superior to any they had seen in the state."
Due to Phylloxera, Hill replanted his vineyard in the mid-1880s, making it one of the oldest vineyards, if not the oldest, on St. George rootstock in the state. He interplanted the Zinfandel with many of the varieties that existed in his original vineyard. At least 16 varieties have been identified in the current vineyard.
Will Bucklin, Anne Teller's son, is the current caretaker and farmer of Old Hill Ranch. Will likes to say that he farms sustainably, and the first rule of sustainability is that the vineyard needs to sustain him. In other words, it must be profitable. Among the practices Will has continued is dry farming. This requires good soil management, which is really good carbon management that necessitates rebuilding the soil with compost and cover crops. A 1 percent increase in organic matter will increase water-holding capacity by 25,000 gallons. Will also concerns himself with the plant biome, soil biology, and plant microflora. His work with this ancient head-pruned/field-blended vineyard has substantially revitalized it and has increased production to sustainable levels.
The grapes from this vineyard unique ancient vineyard also command a premium price.
William McPherson Hill would be pleased.
2019 Old Hill Ranch Zinfandel Sonoma Valley
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Old Hill Ranch has black cherries, blackberries, and aromatic spices with a hint of camphor which speaks to the complex mix of grapes in this wine. In the mouth there is a dense wall of flavor that will become differentiated as the wine evolves. Black fruit flavors dominate. The tannin is assertive and the finish long, indicating that this is a wine that will cellar well.
135-year-old vines, 8x8 head pruned, picked 9/26/2019, Alcohol 15.0%, pH 3.52, TA 6.3 g/L, 302 cases botted in November 2020.
Bedrock Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel Sonoma Valley, 1888 planting
[Disclaimer: Much of this history is stolen from the website of my son Morgan's Bedrock Wine Company, which makes the spectacular Heirloom Blend from the same vineyard. It isn't plagiarization if it's your own genetic material, right?]
Situated on the Agua Caliente Bench, Bedrock is one of the premier vineyard plots in Sonoma Valley. When Eugene Hilgard, the most important viticulture professor of his time, was asked in 1890 if any place in California could grow grapes to rival the great clarets of Europe, he unhesitatingly singled out this vineyard, whose history is also rife with some of the most notable figures of the nineteenth century. Founded in 1854 by Generals "Fightin' Joe" Hooker (just back from the Mexican-American War) and William Tecumseh Sherman (a San Francisco banker at the time!), the spot has grown grapes for more than 150 years. Following the first phylloxera epidemic in the mid-1880s, it was replanted in 1888 by Senator George Hearst, a mining magnate and father of publisher William Randolph Hearst; in the early 1900s, Hearst's widow Phoebe sold it to the California Wine Association, which made wine from it until Prohibition. In 1934, the vineyard was jointly purchased by the Domenici and Parducci families, who ran the Valley of the Moon winery; when that relationship became acrimonious, the vineyard was split, with the Parducci's taking the winery and smaller land parcel and the Domenici's taking 152 acres that became as Madrone Ranch.
In 2005, the Domenici's sold the property to the Deininger / Peterson family. We renamed it Bedrock with a nod to its soil: Tuscan Red Hill series, washed down from the adjacent Mayacamas Mountains to form the alluvial fan on which the vineyard is planted. Because the place had been cultivated harshly for 100 years, we broke up the pan with a mechanical spader and revitalized the soils with compost and cover crops of vetch, bell beans, and rye grass; the cobbly, well-drained loam, combined with long warm summer days and cool evening air flowing through the Bennett Valley Gap alongside Sonoma Mountain (a climatic profile similar to that of Joe Swan's domain, the Forestville area of the Russian River Valley) is superb for growing Zinfandel, a tradition we've maintained with old-school, head-pruned viticulture.
Once and Future Zinfandel is crafted from the 128-year-old vines planted by George Hearst. The wines have an aromatic raciness and fine tannin structure that renders them elegant and long-lived.
2019 Bedrock Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel Sonoma Valley
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Bedrock Zinfandel has intense black fruit, currents and aromatic spices which grace the powerful, complex bouquet of this wine. Undercurrents of mint and vanilla add depth to the bouquet. In the mouth the wine is broad, rich and spicy. The finish is long with complex dark fruit flavors that are persistent. The assertive structure of this wine testifies to the high skin to juice ratio that is typical of this old, dry farmed vineyard. This wine sings of its location and history.
131-year-old vines, 8x8 head pruned, picked 9/13/2019, 14.9% alcohol, pH 3.6, TA 6.0 g/L, 275 cases bottled in November 2020.
Teldeschi Vineyard, Frank's Block
From the Here and Now, the early 1980's seem like a long time ago!
I was a long-haired bearded young man who found himself having an unexpected luncheon with Frank and Caterina Teldeschi and their sons Dan and John…. Welcoming hosts, they represented the most recent two generations of an Italian family that had been farming their part of Dry Creek Valley since the early 1900's. The lunch included copious amounts of wine (some made by me, some by Frank) and extraordinarily delicious food cooked by Caterina. I can still remember the menu; stuffed zucchini, homemade pasta with meat sauce made from tomatoes that Catarina grew in the back yard from seeds she brought with her from Italy as a young bride, roast chicken from her chicken yard, and a pork roast with potatoes from a wild pig Frank had caught rooting around the vineyard. To finish the meal, perfect biscotti and delicate rolled anise flavored cookies.
I don't know whether it was the food, the wine, the people or the amicable mix of all the ingredients that created the magic, but at the end of that lunch, Frank and I had a handshake deal for 4 tons of grapes and as it turns out, a 36 plus year friendship with the family.
Over the years from that small beginning, the wine made from the Frank Teldeschi family grapes grew into one of Ravenswood's most successful and most awarded single vineyard designated wines.
Located in the heart of Dry Creek Valley on the Eastside bench land, Teldeschi Vineyard is in the best location of a valley that might be one of the best spots for growing Zinfandel in the world. Of course, Frank Teldeschi had his favorite blocks of grapes on the ranch; one of them was a small somewhat mixed block planted in the cobbly Tuscan Red Hill Series soils that Frank claimed was the oldest block on the ranch - that would mean it was planted sometime around 1900. "Frank's Block" is low production – around a ton and a half per acre – and includes Carignane and Alicante Bouchet in the mix.
When I started Once & Future, it seemed right to honor Frank and my long friendship with the Teldeschi family by making this favored old vineyard block into a stand-alone wine.
2019 Teldeschi "Frank's Block" Vineyard Zinfandel Dry Creek
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Teldeschi Zinfandel has a lovely deep color. The nose is a perfumed mix of black cherries, citrus zest, vanilla and exotic spice. The mouth feel is round and silky smooth. The finish is fresh, bright, fruitful, balanced and persistent. Delicious now, this will provide drinking pleasure for many more years.
Palisades Vineyard, Napa Valley, Petite Sirah
There's a good reason that, until the 1960s, Petite Sirah was the most widely planted grape variety in Napa Valley. As is shown by the few remaining examples, grown in the right places it does very well there, making lovely, evocative wine even darker and spicier than Zinfandel, that other "California grape" from Europe. If Napa had only had the guts to stick with Petite through the renaissance that transformed California wine, it would have been a more distinctive and interesting choice (not to mention better value) upon which to hang one's regional hat than today's dictatorial monarch, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The best evidence is tucked into a narrow riparian canyon just east of the town of Calistoga, at the foot of the magnificent Palisades cliffs. This is Petite Sirah heaven: The cobbly loam soil of the alluvial fan is perfect for the variety. Hot summers, cool westerly morning breezes, extended sunlight and adequate winter rainfall bless the fruit with exceptional concentration and depth. Viticulture here dates back to 1878, when James Horn, a settler from Scotland, first planted grapes; in 1908, Domenico and Gilda Barberis, recent arrivals from Italy, planted more vines along Horn's Creek. Seven years later, they established "Bonded Winery Number 118" on the site.
Sadly, despite a capacity of more than 20,000 gallons, the winery didn't survive Prohibition, closing down in 1932. The vineyard, however, survived. Continuing to farm it until 1992, Domenico and Gilda's son Frank planted Petite on St. George rootstock in 1968 and again in the mid-70s. In the 90s the property was bought by Anne Carver and Denis Sutro who farmed the property, preserved the Petite Sirah and, as importantly, preserved the beautiful character of the Palisades by putting the 500 acres directly below the massif into a land trust. In 2015 Felicia Woytak and her husband Steven Rasmussen, who thankfully had the soul and character (not unlike petite itself) to ignore the prevailing commercial formula, choosing to respect and preserve the site's heritage. Committed to organic horticulture, they've retained Jim Munk to manage the place's traditional dry farming and head-trained viticulture.
The Barberis would no doubt be pleased; I am overjoyed.
2019 Palisades Vineyard Petite Sirah Napa Valley
Joel's Tasting Notes - The 2019 Palisades is dark, almost black with a youthful purple edge. Blackberry, spice, violet floral notes and hints of black Tellicherry pepper are pervasive in the aroma of this wine. This is a big, rich, sumptuous wine with mouth filling intensity, yet it is harmonious and all of one piece. The finish is long, flavorful and satisfying with ample, but not jarring tannins. This is a lovely wine that will live and grow in sophistication for many years.
46-year-old vines, 8x8 head pruned, Picked 9/24/2019, Alcohol 14.6%, pH 3.5, TA 6.5 g/L, 252 cases bottles in November 2020.
Sangiacomo Vineyard
In 1989, I made my first Sangiacomo Merlot at Ravenswood. I learned of this vineyard from Dave Ramey, who had encouraged the Sangiacomo family to plant it for his use at Matanzas Creek. I continued to make Merlot from Sangiacomo Vineyard until the early 2000s. Ultimately, Constellation decided that Ravenswood's focus should be on Zinfandel, not Merlot. At about the same time, Matanzas Creek discontinued its purchase of the Sangiacomo Merlot fruit.
I had assumed that the Sangiacomos had pulled all these grapes out and replaced them with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, so I was happily surprised when my son, Morgan, told me he had been talking to Mike and Steve Sangiacomo, and they mentioned a section of Merlot still remained on the Kiser Ranch. I was very fond of the Merlots that Sangiacomo was making. Fortunately, the Sangiacomo family was gracious enough to sell me some of the Merlot block's remaining fruit for Once & Future.
This block, formerly 13-year-old Riesling vines, was budded to Merlot in 1987 and interplanted to reduce spacing in 1991. The soil is shallow gravel clay-loam, which is ideal for Merlot. Originally, the trellis was a bilateral cordon vertical shoot position set-up. Due to the timing of the Carneros winds, which are frequently coincident with flowering and fruit set, a great deal of shatter resulted in very low crop levels. In some years, this imparted a fairly strong jalapeño character to the grapes. To combat this, the Sangiacomos have added an additional fruiting cane to the system, which increases the crop, bringing it into balance with the canopy and providing more harmonious ripe flavors. The combination of soil, trellising, crop, and canopy management, along with the cool Carneros climate, produces some of the most delicious Merlot in California.
SOLD OUT - 2018 Sangiacomo Vineyard Merlot Carneros
Joel's Tasting Notes - Aromatics of ripe plums and cassis with hints of cedar lead to a bright flavorful energetic finish in this lovely well-balanced cool climate Merlot.
Bedrock Vineyard, Frances Cuvée Proprietary Red Blend
When I first thought about making wine, I imagined I would make a Bordeaux blend. I certainly had a deep history of tasting and drinking such wines. Lucky for me, Bordeaux was much less expensive in the early 1970s, and I had collector friends who enjoyed sharing their wines with me. I became attracted to the elegant aromatics, complex flavors, aging characteristics, flavors of terroir, and history of the chateaux that these wines displayed. Some of the Bordeaux I sampled at an early age came from my parents' cellar. Both of my parents were enamored with wines of the Gironde, but my mother, Frances, was particularly taken with them and was quite good at identifying chateau and vintage in blind tastings. For this reason, I honor my mother by naming this California proprietary red blend Frances Cuvée.
As it turned out, the first wines I made were not Bordeaux blends; they were mostly California field blends made from Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and other varieties. In a small irony, before Prohibition, these wines frequently were labeled "Bordeaux" or "Burgundy." They were the regional wines and grapes of California in much the same way the Bordeaux variety mix was for the Gironde. I had another reason not to make a Bordeaux blend in 1976 when I started Ravenswood: the grapes were not available to me. In fact, other than Cabernet Sauvignon, they were very rarely grown and if planted at all, did not have the multiple Bordeaux varieties in the same vineyard location. It wasn't until 1986 that I was able to make a proper proprietary red blend from Pickberry Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. Those wines are still alive and pleasurable today.
As fate would have it, my family and I now own Bedrock Vineyard, which has 44 acres of some of the oldest heritage vines in Sonoma County. This part of the vineyard produces grapes for some of California's great heritage field blends. Much of the rest of the vineyard is planted to the Bordeaux varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Since I co-ferment the grapes in my traditional California field blends, I thought it might be interesting to ferment a Bordeaux blend in that same fashion, picking all the grapes at the same time and fermenting them together. Frances Cuvée is the result. The wine is a very pretty representation of a French oak-aged California proprietary red blend. Though I doubt my mother would confuse it for one of the great Left Bank chateaux, I am quite sure she would enjoy it nonetheless.
The 2017 blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 7% Petite Verdot, and 7% Cabernet Franc.
SOLD OUT - 2017 Bedrock Vineyard Frances Cuvée Proprietary Red Blend
Joel's Tasting Notes - Bright, perfumed blackberries cassis and cedar. Fresh clean structured black fruit, vanilla and spice finish. A formidable wine that will live for a long time.

Western have been confirmed as the Phoenix's first-round playoff opponent after falling to Adelaide United 2-1 on Sunday and finishing third.
Adelaide clinched fourth place with a win over Western and can no longer be caught by the Phoenix, who have one game left, or the Central Coast Mariners, who are only three points ahead but have a vastly superior goal difference of 28.
City, on the other hand, still has everything to play for if they want to reclaim first place and the Premier League title after Melbourne Victory moved two points clear with a 4-1 win over Sydney FC on Saturday.
Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay said ahead of Monday's game, before their playoff opponent was announced, that he did not have a preference for who he would rather play in the elimination final.
But he should be overjoyed to have drawn Western because the Phoenix have had wood on them for the majority of their existence.
It also meant they avoided Adelaide and the Mariners, both of whom had won their previous five games.
This season, they have already defeated Western three times.
The Phoenix defeated them 1-0 in the Australia Cup round of 32 on December 7, 2-1 in the league on January 21, and 4-1 on April 9 thanks to a double from Jaushua Sotirio.
The Phoenix received a significant boost on Sunday ahead of the elimination final when Talay confirmed that key midfielder Clayton Lewis had recovered from an ankle injury and would start against City.

The ears of our generation have been made so delicate by the senseless multitude of flatterers that, as soon as we perceive that anything of ours is not approved of, we cry out that we are being bitterly assailed; and when we can repel the truth by no other pretense, we escape by attributing bitterness, impatience, intemperance, to our adversaries.
It seems to me that not much has changed since the 16th century when Martin Luther wrote these words. The only difference between then and now is we have new words with which to ascribe. Today that which makes our ears delicate we give such happy words like self-esteem and tolerance. And that which hurts our delicate sensibilities we give names such as bigotry and hate-speech. We like to think that such things are new and perhaps to many of us, they are. I for one can recall growing up in the '80s and early '90s that when your feelings were hurt or your sensibilities where offended, you accepted it like an adult and moved on. Then came the wave of political correctness that has gotten so large, that upsetting someone in some cases is considered a punishable crime.
In the opinion of those delicate-eared persons, nothing could be more bitter or intemperate than Paul's language.
Martin Luther nailed it on the head with this. And so did scripture. Those with delicate ears would make the Christian out to be the devil himself. A deceiver full of hate and loathing. But it is not just the rest of the world with delicate ears; it is Christians too! For some Christians when you speak of doctrine or Gospel, their ears curl and their hearts lurch because what you say is antithetical to how they view a particular part of Christianity. They deem you full of hate and not of Jesus' love. Yet to those whose ears are not fragile, they would see, even if they disagree with you, that you come not in hatred but in love! In charity! And they would accept your words as good and kind, even if they themselves disagree with what you have to say.
If there is a light in all of this it is that delicate ears can be broken. When a glass is broken, it must be replaced with a stronger one so that it is not broken again. So when a delicate ear is broken, say by the law, then it must be replaced with an ear that is strengthened by the Gospel. And that is because faith comes through hearing, whether we want to hear it or not.
There are some things I liked better about my old church over my current one. Not much, the preaching was an abomination, but some things. One thing in particular that sticks out to me, however, was the Lord's supper, also known as communion. I never participated in my old church because I wasn't baptized and I technically wasn't a member, but the way they did always seemed a little more proper. Before I continue, I want to state that I can find nothing theologically wrong with the way my church does the Lord's supper, I just like the way my old ELCA church did it a little better.
The church I attend is probably quite like yours when it comes to communion. When you receive the body of Christ, you are fed a tiny round piece of flat bread. When you receive his blood, you probably have the choice of taking from the cup or "doing a shot" as I jokingly refer to it. It's truly an incredible experience and blessing to be a part of this each Sunday, but a part of me (probably from personal opinions mostly) prefers a slightly different method.
Common bread: Over at the ELCA church I attended, something that stood out as powerful was when it came time to show the bread. My pastor then did not have a wafer but instead a small loaf of bread. I always suspected they made it at the church because it was a tiny thing and didn't look terribly professional. And when he announced the breaking of the bread, he would break the loaf in two. Up until this point, it's all just visual effects that play on emotions really, but it was when he fed the body of Christ that I always found so incredible. He would hold half the loaf in one hand and break off a tiny piece and feed it to the communicant with the other. That part always struck me as deeply symbolic. Everybody is eating a piece of the same loaf, IE, everyone is partaking in the same body. I'm not saying that by eating the wafer we are all eating from a different body. Not at all. But physically seeing it all come from the same bread, piece by piece, wow, that's powerful. I've always wondered how the ELCA could show so much reverence in their liturgy and Holy communion, but totally collapse in the sermon and basic theology.
Common Cup: I can understand that there are a plethora of reasons for not drinking from the same cup as everyone else, so I'm not going to get into that. I'll just get into the reason why I feel we should. "In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."" Jesus gave the cup to his disciples to drink. Not cups, but cup. This is how it was instituted by God. Do I feel the little "shot glasses" are not valid? By no means. The Lord's Word is present in the wine given at the altar, regardless of the vessel we put it in. But do I feel it diminishes, even if only symbolically, the importance of the Lord's supper? I must say that I do. Here's a great resource that delves into it much better than I ever could.
Again, what I have to say may just be my own opinion, but I feel they're something important to think about.
Where are the anathemas when you need them?
It came out during the North Dakota District Convention that the case against Rev. Dr. Matthew Becker, an LCMS clergyman who teaches at Valparaiso University has ended with the result that he was exonerated of any charge of false teaching.
When I read this article, I was sorely disappointed. How has it come to this that a "pastor" who blatantly teaches false doctrine in the LCMS is allowed to remain in the pulpit? It's tragic that Matthew Becker is protected and allowed to continue to deceive God's people. The LCMS I fear needs to sorely cut the bureaucracy so that it may effectively and efficiently pronounce excommunication and anathema as needed for the good of all congregations.
Conversely, why does Matthew Becker choose to remain in the LCMS since his beliefs of doctrine so radically differ from what the church teaches? Why does he not instead jump ship to the ELCA? I've no doubt they'd welcome him with open arms since they actively practice and teach the very same heresies that he is trying to instill in the Missouri Synod.
If I gave you a glass of water that had just a little bit of poison, it would poison your whole body, even though 99.8% of it was good clean water. By allowing Matthew Becker and those like him to remain, the whole body is being poisoned.
The old year has passed and the new begun. As is tradition, many people make resolutions only to break them within weeks. I want to get in shape. I want to spend less money. I'll spend more time reading the Bible. And the list goes on and on. I've never really been a fan of resolutions, mostly because I know deep down that I won't carry them out. I can say I plan to spend more time in scripture and in prayer, but honestly, That will last what? A few days? Weeks maybe? And then I'll go back to my routine. I have a friend who said to honestly ask God to change me and he would. I tried that for a while some years ago. It didn't work out so hot. In fact, it left be bitter and resentful. Thankfully I eventually realized I can't make God do my bidding and learned that that was absolutely for the best.
So, New Year's resolutions are bunk and I can't force God fix my flaws. Where does that leave me? It leaves me with faith. And faith is a wonderful thing to be left with. With faith, I no longer have to worry about relying on myself and the struggles of everyday life. I can rely on Christ. When I rely on Christ and not on myself, that is such a huge weight off my mind. With weight off my mind, I can let go of distractions that hinder me. Without distractions, I can do all those so called resolutions like they're a normal everyday thing. Eating better, exercising, prayer, Bible study, etc, is no longer a chore but a blessing. To hell with resolutions, I have faith in Christ and I don't need anything more than that.
What would you say if I told you that there was a Christian holiday in December that is celebrated by the giving of gifts? And what if I told you that it's not Christmas? You'd probably give me a mildly confused look, but I'd be telling you the truth. Christmas, contrary to the culture, is not a holiday celebrated with the act of gift giving. In fact, it's not even a single day. It's twelve days. And despite what The Twelve Days of Christmas may say, it's more like twelve days of feasting rather than twelve days of gifts. So if that is the case, than what is the Christian holiday in December that is celebrated with the giving of gifts?
Why, that'd be St. Nicholas Day on December 6th named after none other than St. Nicholas. He was a third century Christian who has become synonymous with generosity. In fact, is what our tales of Santa Clause come from. He's also where we get the Christmas tradition of hanging stockings to be filled with presents from as well. I'm not going to go into his story, many other sites have done that far better than I ever could. While I doubt this will sway many Christians, I want to say that I really enjoy the thought of having St. Nicholas Day as the day of gift giving. You can still have all of the fun family events that you would do on Christmas every year and a few weeks sooner to boot. But then, something more magical happens because of this. On the twelve days of Christmas, you're not distracted by all the gifts and what have you because that happened a few weeks ago. So Christmas becomes a more special time. A time for Jesus Christ. I appreciate Christmas a lot more than I used to and it's wonderful.

As in life, Sam Dastyari's memoir is unexpected and unorthodox. This is the man who introduced Pauline Hanson to the halal snack pack and accountability to big banks.
Named Sahand by his hippy Iranian parents, he changed his name to Sam to fit in with his schoolmates. But Sam was always going to stand out.
He joined the Labor Party when he was 16 and was elected as a senator only 13 years later. Sam brings his super-charged approach to life to his writing and the result is hilarious: part-memoir, part-political treatise and part-reflection on hard times.
We learn about his cats, Lenin and Trotsky; how to deal with neighbours when their front lawns are under siege from the media thanks to your misdemeanour; and how the most dangerous mosh pits are to be found among parents at the school nativity play.

One Halal of a Story is a no-holds-barred look at the good and bad of family, politics, and being Sam.
Well, I'm tasked with one only question here: is Sam Dastyari's book any good? It is. It's one of the warmest political memoirs I have read."
—Richard Ferguson, THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
Most of us know Sam Dastyari's a mad bolt of energy in parliament. Turns out, he's a gun of a storyteller too."
Benjamin Law
Dastyari has written something altogether different, mixing memoir with policy and a brutal assessment of modern politics. It is a thoughtful, funny and self-critical book. He has a talent for story-telling and marshals anecdotes in a narrative that bounces around like a pinball machine"
Troy Bramston, The Australian
Sam Dastyari was born in Iran to student activists and arrived in Australia aged four. He has worked with Hawker Britton and served as General Secretary of New South Wales Labor. He was appointed to the Senate in 2013, promoted to the shadow outer ministry in 2016, and became the manager of opposition business in the Senate and spokesperson for consumer affairs. Sam Dastyari is currently a backbencher and lives in Sydney with his wife…
My mother, whose name is Ella, likes to tell me about the exact moment she decided she would have me. It was 26 September 1981, and it was the day she was not executed.
"Oh you can't start a story with that!" my mother says over wine one evening in her inner-western Sydney home. "It's so glum. How about the story of coming to Australia? Start on 16 January 1988."
Naser, my father, offers an alternative. "Why not start with the 28th of July 1983, the date of your birth? During the Iran–Iraq war, and how we had to bring you straight home from hospital because they were out of water and out of medicine."
"No," I tell them. "I don't think I can tell a story about living and coming to Australia if I don't include a story about dying." I want to start on 26 September 1981, the day my mother was not executed and decided she wanted to have me. It was also the day my father lost his best friend.
"The problem," my father tells me, "is that you have a very Australian view of death."
My father goes quiet whenever the conversation turns to the period between the Iranian revolution in 1979 and my birth in 1983. This, despite it being the four-year period when both my sister, Azadeh, and I were born. "Survivor's guilt," my sister tells me. Neither of us is a physician, but we have done what every child does – try…

Thank you so much for all the effort.

Wow! That's simply fabulous, Gilles! Thanks so much!
If you don't want your ini file to be erased, you can simply uncheck the "Launch KMJ" box when it has finished installing. Then run it from your Start menu (or desktop shortcut). It will bypass the ini file reset process and you get to keep everything.
As I explained earlier on the forum, you can also save your theme settings by using "Add to favorites" and typing a new theme name. Then use that new theme to your taste. New KMJ installs only overwrite the "Default" theme.
KMJ installs reset everything by default because some people might have corrupted ini settings and wouldn't think automatically of using the "Reset to default options" shortcut. They figure an upgrade would help. So that's what the upgrade does--it helps them.

Video Surfin From A Purge To A Come Down
From Rejjie Snow, Section Boyz, Anderson .Paak, Desiigner and Kid Cudi
By Editor Nov 01, 2016
From 'Pink Beetle's to 'Zombie Walk's, to 'Surfin' through a purge to that eventual 'Come Down', this Halloween gave us a visual feast. So it's only right to pull the best of the 'Worst' and guide you through the 5 video highlights of this seasons Halloween holiday. Whether you've been tricking or treating yourself to a few parties, there's no reason why you can't keep indulging in some eye candy.
Desiigner Takes Us On A 'Zombie Walk'
Desiigner indulged our purge during this Halloween season with 'Zombie Walk' taken from his 'New English' debut mixtape earlier this year. Delivering a scary take on the usual fright night rush to a house party, with one twist, this one's set in a haunted mansion right in the middle of the woods. Laid out like a cross between scenes from The Walking Dead and The Shinning with hints of Thriller moments, Desiigner hitches a ride with a hillbilly who's appetite and thirst for human flesh leaves him stranded with no phone reception. Meanwhile King Savage whom he enlisted to depict a horror tale enjoys the party under the seduction of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and gets attacked by a monster in the woods. A short film tailored to spook you, Desiigner's acting skills come into full zombie mode.
Kid Cudi Keeps 'Surfin' On His Wave
Sticking to his promise of letting the music do the talking while he took himself to rehab, Cudi's label shared the self-directed 'Surfin' video off his forthcoming album 'Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' featuring Pharrell Williams. Cudi is seen in a more upbeat spirit showing off dope dance moves inside a tropical themed party with psychedelic bounces and electrifying neon lights. Spotlit to illuminate the faces of a few famed partygoers, check the cameos from A$AP Rocky, A$AP Nast, Jaden Smith, Willow Smith, Chip the Ripper and Hit-Boy and more.
Despite the jovial mood of the song's fluid funk approach Cudi speaks on some of the issues he's been enduring before his move to rehab. He spits "The industry is so full of shit / Welcome y'all to the enema / Nah man, no subliminal / 'Cause they insecure, they know who they are".
Cudi is definitely "Surfin" on my own wave" – and it smells like teen spirit in this video;
Rejjie Snow Shows His Teeth In 'Pink Beetle'
Rejjie Snow isn't known for doing anything by halves and on the same day he debuted his new video for 'Pink Beetle' he simultaneously announced a UK tour for spring 2017. 'Pink Beetle' is produced by Rahki (Kendrick Lamar), who is currently executive producing Snow's debut album, with the video directed by Max Weiland (Somesuch).
Inspired by one of our biggest shared fears, Rejjie says, "I wanted to translate the hyperreal imagery that one envisions when thinking about going to the dentist. For some, going to the dentist is a treacherous nightmare in which pain & fear can strike over you. This video was born from a conversation I had with a man who hadn't gone to the dentist in 20 years. Because he was simply afraid. We dedicate this to you, my friend. Happy Halloween."
Snow announced a full UK tour for Spring 2017, including a show at London's 2,300-capacity Forum. Get the dates and tickets information via rejjiesnow.com.
Section Boyz And Skepta Do Their 'Worst'
Maybe it's time to have a purge of our own, get all that horror out of our systems and go for a rampage to let off some steam. Section Boyz and Skepta link up to take out the 'Worst' of their inner badness with a new video specially timed to drop on Halloween night.
"F$%k what you heard, my G's are the worst" spew the corners of London's edges as the gang spray murderous tricks on their purge. Masked and mobbed Section Boyz take control with the help of man of the moment No Meri Skepta— and it is spooky good. 'Worst' is based off the James DeMonaco's horror flick The Purge with an East London treatment.
Anderson .Paak Brings The Party To Life
Anderson .Paak released a new video for one of the standout tracks from Malibu, with the funk driven 'Come Down' inspired by some of music's greats –"We wanted to bring the iconic artwork of Ernie Barnes Sugar Shack and Marvin Gaye's cover for "I want you", to life". Hyping the life of a groovy night in Malibu where domino's rule the crap table, partygoers who can't hold their liquor and groovers who just want to be seduced by the funkadelic sounds of Anderson and The Free Nationals; the electrifying eccentric vibes of 'Come Down' create an already welcoming eargasm from .Paak.

Processing coordinated structures: incrementality and connectedness
Patrick Sturt, Vincenzo Lombardo
We recorded participants' eye movements while they read sentences containing verb-phrase coordination. Results showed evidence of immediate processing disruption when a reflexive pronoun embedded in the conjoined verb phrase mismatched the sentence subject. We argue that this result is incompatible with models of human parsing that employ only bottom-up parsing procedures, even when flexible constituency is employed. Models need to incorporate a mechanism similar to the adjoining operation in Tree-Adjoining Grammar, in which one structure is inserted into another.

N2 - We recorded participants' eye movements while they read sentences containing verb-phrase coordination. Results showed evidence of immediate processing disruption when a reflexive pronoun embedded in the conjoined verb phrase mismatched the sentence subject. We argue that this result is incompatible with models of human parsing that employ only bottom-up parsing procedures, even when flexible constituency is employed. Models need to incorporate a mechanism similar to the adjoining operation in Tree-Adjoining Grammar, in which one structure is inserted into another.

Uber's CEO says it has no plans to hire more drivers
Posted by admin June 19, 2021 Resume
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has said the company has no intention of hiring more drivers, which has raised questions about whether the company is planning to add new drivers in the near future.
Kalanik said during a companywide conference call on Tuesday that Uber had no plans at this time to add drivers to its driver-partnership model, which is one of the largest on the planet.
Kalanki added that he believed the company's drivers had "excellent relationships with drivers," and that he hoped to see more of the company employing people.
Kalanos plan to continue to expand its driver partnership model for a short period of time.
Kalans team is a key part of Uber's drive to expand into new markets.
Kalani has long been an outspoken critic of Uber drivers, who he views as having an unfair advantage over Uber's self-driving vehicles.
Kalanes recent comments were made during an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, in which he said he thought Uber's drivers were being treated unfairly, and that the company would eventually change its practices to be more fair to them.
The Uber CEO also said the driver partnership model was "not ideal" for the company, adding that the "market is changing," and drivers would likely be the "last driver to be added."

The school has now taken over the licensing of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme as Powys County Council is no longer supporting schools with it. In order to cover the cost of the annual licensing fee, we now have to charge an additional payment of £9.00 to the current cost of the welcome pack and participation fee of £21.00. Should you have any financial difficulties, but would still like your son or daughter to take part, please contact the Headteacher, Mrs Jackie Parker, on jackie@crickhowell-hs.powys.sch.uk.
Apart from the school run training schedule, the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards Scheme also involves, a full day's walk, a training weekend and an assessment expedition, enabling students to put in to practice the skills they've learned. The total cost of these expeditions is approximately £25.00, which covers camping fees, any equipment used and other likely costs. This fee will be collected nearer the time.
