Alto Vineyards Winery & Tasting Room
Nestled in the Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois, sits Alto Vineyards, the region's oldest, most award-winning winery. Founded in 1988 by Guy Renzaglia, Alto introduced a new industry to the area, starting a movement that has altered its landscape. Today, Alto Vineyards shares the region with 11 other wineries along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, in the state's first federally recognized grape-growing region, known as an American Viticultural Area (AVA). While continuing to produce some of Illinois' finest wine, Alto opened a new tasting room in Champaign, IL, and began distributing throughout the state and surrounding regions. Celebrating 25 years in business in 2013, Alto constructed a new, modern tasting room next to the vineyard in Alto Pass. Resting atop the new facility lies an outdoor deck for customers to take in the view on one of southern Illinois' oldest vineyards – a truly breathtaking sight that exemplifies the beauty of the Shawnee National Forest and Illinois wine country. We invite you to visit our winery and tasting rooms to experience the tradition of Alto Vineyards.

Quipid Ponder Bootie
"I love the style, heel and platform. It's a little steeper than I expected, which does make it hard to wear all day, and I had to get used to the angle of the arch. My feet don't hurt after wearing them (I'm used to high heeled shoes), but I had to walk differently. But I still love the shoes, great look, comfy on the balls and heels."

"These shoes are perfection. I love a high & chunky heel; makes for easier walking & balance with the height I want. Wore them for a concert and they didn't hurt at all. My feet are a bit wide but the straps managed to fit perfectly as well. Definitely a new favorite!"

Very cute, but not comfy
"Love the looks of this shoe, but not comfortable at all. After a while your feet start hurting, I guess the 4 1/2 inches heel have a lot to do. ."
By: ShoeCreature

October 04, 2013
Don't judge a shoe by it's height...
"Yes, these shoes have a high heel, but after a little practice they're quite wearable and comfortable. Let's take it from the top; I have crazy messed up feet, 3 pins in the left foot, my left and right feet leave different footprints, you get it. I bought the natural color, size 7, regular width. Wearing these with pantyhose (yes, it makes a difference when judging fit) there was no pinching, chafing, or other 'shoe bites'. I walk a lot at work and wore these for several hours with no discomfort - amazing. The buckles are adjustable and provide lots of ankle support. I received many, many, wait one more, many compliments and 'where did you get those' inquiries. I'd give these 2 thumbs up."

I did have a good Thanksgiving. How was yours?
Thanksgiving was great! We went to the Rabbi and his wife's house for Thanksgiving! It was a blessed day and a lot of fun, especially watching their young grandsons playing! Their youngest one was playing "sword fight" with a PVC pipe! Very cute! Haven't seen the movie, but would like to, and haven't read the book. Perhaps the movie can be rented soon! Ewen McGregor is very easy on the eyes and a great actor, too!
Nisha, How are you? I hope that you had a great day yesterday! I see you saw Angels and Demons. What was the movie like? I have yet to see it!

Bill Norman DD 22 HD Crankbaits
Building on the success of the original Bill Norman DD22, the Bill Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver) Crankbait replicates the same bass-catching action with a new, custom weighted design. The added weight produces jaw-dropping casting distances, while also reducing the "tumbling" or "helicopter effect" that sometimes occurs. Another benefit of the custom weighting is the ability to more quickly get down to an effective range, lengthening the time that your bait is in the strike zone and increasing its chances of getting bit. Once at the desired depth, the Bill Norman DD22 HD Crankbait presents bass with an enticing medium-wide wobble and a distinct pitch produced by two rattle chambers. Complete with incredible paint jobs and stunning finishes, the Bill Norman DD22 HD Crankbait gets down to untouched waters and attacks bass where they once thought it was safe.

Customer Reviews
Comments: As a long time lover of the DD22, I like this model a lot. I usually fish it on the Dobyns 805 as well, w/ 8-10 lb. fluoro except in the dirty stuff (wood) I'll go up to 17. No way it hits 22', no DD22 ever has, but it does 15'+ just fine. For me, it casts a bit better than the standard one, but I still love those as well. Hope they bust out a couple more colors soon!
From: Lead Farmer: OC, CA 9/1/14
Comments: In June 2013 I caught an 8.5 pound LM bass on Jordan Lake, NC with a custom painted DD 22 suspend 4. Starting to replace them with DD 22 HD's. I use 12 lb green flourocarbon on a 7 foot fiberglass rod.
From: Dan: Cary, NC USA
Comments: These 1oz DD 22s definitely hit 20 ft and beyond using a Dobyns 805 with 10lb Sufix castable flouro on a Lews BB1. With this combo I can cast the DD 22 HD a good 150 feet, sometimes even better with the wind at my back.
From: Dale: TX
Comments: whoever said that they run 22ft is a liar. still a good crank though
From: Pat: amarillo,tx
Comments: Started replacing my normal DD 22's with the HDs, They pull a little harder than the original and they do get down deeper faster, but I didn't notice too much difference as far as the "helicopter" casting. If you're pitching into the wind they still do it a little, but the added weight helps.
From: Kris: Fort Worth Tx, USA
Comments: Norman has done it again. Not really sure these baits run any deeper but they most definately cast further. First outing I boated a 7 and a 5. I wish they offered some of the new HD colors in standard DD22 baits.
From: RDB: ATX
Comments: I used 10lb flouro and these 1oz HDs(Falcon Flash)hit bottom at 22 ft, they are a great value at $5.49.
From: Steve: NJ

text: Yeah, they were reacting to the Kyuubi's chakra and lifeforce. But where does the Kyuubi get his chakra? http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/611/8 seems to imply that it's gathered from nature, similar to Sage mode. Sorry, I was a bit tired when I posted that earlier, I accidentally left out that part. I also forgot, if the Mokuton is directly related to Natural Energy, that would explain why the Hashirama cells could suddenly go out of control when a person infused with them is weak or near death: http://www.mangapanda.com/93-46287-1...apter-480.html, the cells are still gathering Natural energy, but with nothing to control it.

"I loved these sandals and searched high and low for a pair in my size. When I finally found them, I couldn't wait to wear them. They aren't as comfortable as I thought they would be. I only got to wear them fully in tact twice. The third time I wore them, I looked down at my feet in an early morning meeting and noticed the center of one of the flowers was next to my shoe...not on it! I checked the other foot only to find that flower completely off and nowhere to be found."

beautiful sandal
"I was ga ga over this shoe had to have it wanted to keep but the footbed is narrow. I could fit the shoe but my foot was slightly wider than the footbed. I wear a 9 to 9/12 m this sandal also runs small I had to go up a full size. The only reason i did not give this shoe a 5 was because it ran narrow and a size smaller than noted"

However, this is not a detraction from how powerful, cunning or otherwise ruthless Luffy's opponents are. We've all seen Oda isn't above Luffy losing to those who are in fact more powerful than he; he lost to Crocodile twice before finally adapting to the situation and defeating who is quite possibly his greatest natural enemy (sand vs rubber) outside Akainu or Aokoji (heat/ice vs rubber) (who both defeated him once themselves); Eneru actually "crippled" Luffy before Luffy, unaware of his natural conduction, annialated his foe, who had Luffy as his greatest natural enemy; Magellan nearly eroded Luffy following their first encounter, and it was with innovation and wax support that the latter finally defeated his foe. No matter what experience Luffy faces, he is going to have set backs which ultimately further his fighting capabilities and place him "over the top." That's story telling and regardless of character preference, Luffy will always overcome his challenges. Hahaha just wait until the SHs have to face Shanks and crew, everybody is going to go berserk with rage that Luffy transcends his mentor!!!

Bills training camp observations: Day 1
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 20 2014 11:14PM
The Buffalo Bills opened up the training camp season for the National Football League on Sunday night and did so in front of a packed house at St. John Fisher College. As the team clustered together just outside the locker room facility to get ready to run on the field, the reality of the new season had finally arrived.
The Bills have already dealt with their fair share of drama even over the past week with some of their top players, but that was all pushed aside when the players got on to the field. As one would expect the first day back from an extended break resulted in a slow start for some, while others hit the ground running.
Manuel's first day back
- The Buffalo Bills are looking for EJ Manuel to take the next step in his progression as a starting quarterback in the league. It's a very vague request, but one that can only be seen and established during the regular season. In his first day back at training camp Manuel had mixed results despite having a couple of new toys to throw to. On the positive side of things, Manuel looked extremely comfortable when he rolled out of the pocket and it even appeared that his downfield vision improved once he gave himself a new angle to throw from. One on play in particular Manuel rolled to his right, let Robert Woods find the soft spot in the zone along the sideline and delivered a perfect pass to him. On the downside, some of the demons from last year that plagued him reappeared in spots. Manuel failed to look off the safety on a deeper throw, put too much loft on the ball and was intercepted. He also had a few instances of misfiring on some of his intermediate targets. It was every player's first day back, so it's hard to be too critical, unless of course it becomes habitual.
Summer of Sammy
- The Bills made the move during the 2014 NFL Draft to trade up and select Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins and the fans in attendance at St. John Fisher College made sure they let the newest pass catcher know he was welcomed with open arms. Anytime Watkins did anything somewhat positive, it drew a large round of applause from the fans. Watkins made it easy for them to admire him from afar, as he will in most practices where there is barely any contact. In those settings, the rookie will likely dominate just because of his skill set and overwhelming athleticsm. However, Watkins displayed a good chemistry with Manuel in their first practice together and made at least one tough, contested catch over the middle of the field. The real test will be how he reacts to either a padded practice or in his first few preseason games to see if he operates with similar ease.
Flash dazzles, then dashes practice
- Among the top four receivers on the roster, the Bills don't have anyone quite as fast as second-year player Marquise Goodwin when he's at full health. That's the way things started on Sunday night and opposing cornerbacks had a world of trouble trying to stay with him in one-on-one battles. On one play, Goodwin turned Leodis McKelvin (who is also trying to recover from offseason hip surgery) inside out in one of the best beats of the day. Goodwin also flew down the field for a deep ball connection, but then had to be removed from practice due to "medical" reasons. He revealed later on Twitter that it had to deal with "sickle cell" and "asthma," while the team divulged that he would be ready for practice on Monday.
Absences and their replacements
- Heading into training camp, the Bills were set to take the field for their first practice without their starting weakside linebacker, their starting left tackle, one of their starting defensive tackles and their best substitute at the same position. While their presences were sorely missed on the field and will continue to be if any of them have extended absences, the Bills had to go on with some younger players taking meaningful reps. Kiko Alonso is likely lost for the season due to his torn ACL, and on Sunday third-year player Nigel Bradham took all the first-team snaps as the weakside linebacker. At left tackle, seventh-round pick Seantrel Henderson opened at that position with the first squad, but a hip injury forced him to miss the rest of practice and Chris Hairston took over from there. With both Marcell Dareus and Alan Branch unavailable for practice, reserve defensive tackle Corbin Bryant was the man next to Kyle Williams with the top unit, while Stefan Charles was their top sub.
Igbinosun chipping in
- The absences of both Dareus and Branch made it so the Bills only had three defensive tackles with some game experience available to them for Sunday's practice. Kyle Williams, Corbin Bryant and Stefan Charles all got their share of time, but undrafted free agents Colby Way and Damien Jacobs didn't get much playing time during team drills. To complete two separate rotations of defensive tackles the Bills elected to use Ikponmwosa Igbinosun, a normal defensive end, as the second-team tackle next to Charles. Igbinosun is a bigger end (6-foot-3, 286-pounds) that can help control the line of scrimmage and may have helped himself to be in a brighter light for the coaching staff by showing he can play all along the defensive line.
No kicking competition in Buffalo?
- In the 2013 NFL Draft the Bills used on of their choices on Florida State's Dustin Hopkins, hoping that he would be the big-legged kicker that could cut through the wind at Ralph Wilson Stadium in the winter months. An injured groin changed the course for the Bills and their field goal plans in 2013, but it also helped them find their next mainstay at the position. If there was any thought that Hopkins had a chance to unseat Dan Carpenter, that line of thinking was openly challenged by the Bills not even giving Hopkins an opportunity to kick field goals on Sunday. Instead, Carpenter was given all eight attempts and made each one of them. It appears Hopkins' only hope may be to steal a roster spot as a kickoff specialist.
Day 1 MVP: S Aaron Williams
- On a day where everyone was trying to get back into the swing of things, it appeared as though Aaron Williams didn't need that warmup period. The team's starting free safety was challenged only a handful of times but made sure not a single big play was made while he was in the vicinity. During a one-on-one rep against tight end Scott Chandler, Williams looked like he lost a step on the initial route but then allowed his natural athleticism to kick into high gear and got in position for a potential interception. It was an over-the-shoulder attempt that didn't result in the safety picking off the pass, but he was in perfect position to force the incompletion. He went on to get his interception later in the day, reading the eyes of EJ Manuel during 7-on-7s and forcing the turnover.
Day 1 LVP: CB Brandon Smith
- A former college wide receiver, the first day for Smith was not kind to him especially during the one-on-one portions. His first downfall was against veteran wide receiver Mike Williams on what looked to be a pass that could have been intercepted. It was a little underthrown by the quarterback and Smith was in position, but Williams was able to wrestle the ball away from Smith for a catch and a big gain. It's still quite a short amount of time since Smith converted to the defensive side of the ball, but turning and running with the receiver on a deep ball also plagued the cornerback's day.

Practice resumes Monday, July 21 at 2 pm. The session is open to the general public.

Welcome back to the weekly college hoops mailbag. It's been a great week of holiday tournament games, and there's really nothing better than basketball being on TV at all hours of the day, right?
Our college basketball reporters Nicole Auerbach and Eric Prisbell are here to answer your questions each week. Here's a reminder to send in questions for next week's mailbag to email@example.com.
@jameezy9: Does everyone still think NC State is the best team in the ACC?
Prisbell: I still do. My partner in crime does not. Listen, it's going to be a great three-way race atop the ACC standings, and do not count out Maryland either. So NC State lost to a talented Oklahoma State team poised to challenge for the top three spots in the Big 12? No shame in that loss. I'm here in Dallas, and certainly no one in Big 12 country is sleeping on the Cowboys this season. The Wolfpack will be fine. There is too much returning talent, too much incoming talent and too sound of a coaching staff for this team to not at least be a strong ACC contender. The preseason hype was credible.
Auerbach: I do agree with Eric that it's going to be a great three-way race atop the ACC, and that Maryland might have enough talent to challenge those teams as well. I just think after seeing Duke beat Kentucky (yes, the November version, but still) the Blue Devils are the team to beat in the ACC. NC State needs to prove it can play with the big boys on the big stage, and it hasn't done that yet. I'm not saying I don't think the Wolfpack has talent -- I just want to see a great win before I put them ahead of a team like Duke.
LaMont Peterson: Which teams surprised/disappointed you?
Prisbell: It is a long season and we're very early and I try not to overreact to one loss or one victory (like Xavier over Butler). But I have been a little disappointed with Florida State (losing to South Alabama) and Miami (losing to Florida Gulf Coast). I had – and still have – both as NCAA tourney teams. I have been a little disappointed thus far with my neighbor school, North Texas, but Mitchell will carry them to the Sun Belt title anyway. Here's teams that will be better than advertised: Maryland, Colorado (nice win vs. Baylor), and New Mexico. If you're buying stock in those three schools, you'll be happy with your returns come March. They are undervalued, but not for long. (Oh, and I think I overvalued UCLA, but whatever, a boom or bust season and we'll see how that plays out.)
Auerbach: We're only a little over a week into the season so it's a bit early for disappointments but I'm definitely surprised by both Butler and UNC based on Tuesday night's game. I think Butler is extremely talented and well-coached, but I'm shocked the Bulldogs were able to put on a clinic against a team like UNC. I think the Tar Heels will rebound just fine, but it's still shocking to see them getting blown out for most of the game by ANYONE. Like Eric, I'm also pleasantly surprised by Colorado. It's good to see the Pac-12 making some noise after a disappointing 2011-12 season. Colorado's win over Baylor was better than any win any Pac-12 team had all of last season.
Peterson: Which players have surprised/disappointed you?
Prisbell: The guy who surprised me was Jack Taylor. I thought he would get at least 140 Tuesday night. He came up two shy, but life goes on. On a serious note, I have not been as much surprised as I am pleased that Le'Bryan Nash and Marcus Smart are playing so well for Oklahoma State. Mason Plumlee has been tearing it up for Duke. Alex Len has been better than I expected for Maryland. There are lots. On the other side, there have been some uneven performances among the best of the best players from smaller conferences, as Nicole and I have talked about. But many of those guys in particular will be rewarded come June, if not March.
Auerbach: I expected to see a bit more out of Nerlens Noel by now, but Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin seem to be stealing more of the headlines down in Lexington. It's hard to be the guy after Anthony Davis, but still. On the surprising side, I'd say Jordan Hulls, who had an incredible game Tuesday night against Georgetown. I know most people are surprised Otto Porter was as dominant as he was against both UCLA and Indiana, but Eric and I have been high on him since last season so that's really not surprising. The only surprise with him will be where he is drafted in the first round.
Peterson: Who do you think will be in the final 4?
Prisbell: I'll stick with my picks of Indiana, Louisville, NC State and UNLV. The two teams I also think could make a serious run are Arizona and Florida. The bottom line is that this season should be wildly entertaining. Many folks didn't think Georgetown could give Indiana a good run and the Hoyas nearly knocked them off. That's only the beginning. Expect the unexpected more often than not this season because there is no dominant team. And if Butler wins the Maui Classic, as I predicted, that may be a sign of things to come in terms of formidable dark horse teams making noise.
Auerbach: I'm also going to stick with my preseason picks for now. I had Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State and Kansas. I'm a little worried about the injury to freshman Gary Harris, who was poised to have a big season. Tom Izzo doesn't seem optimistic about it, and best-case scenario looks like Harris will miss at least a few weeks. If he comes back and Keith Appling continues to play well -- like he did down the stretch against Kansas -- the Spartans should play deep into March. The unpredictable nature of this season so far, though, means that there's a good chance we'll get a surprise team in the Final Four. So maybe I'll be able to go three-for-four. :)
@SirColbyBrown: Where does Brad Stevens go after Butler?
Prisbell: Stevens should have the opportunity to go almost anywhere he wants. Only he knows what is best for him personally, and it should not shock anyone if he and his family remain in Indianapolis for a considerable amount of time. That said, I will stick to what I have been saying since Stevens made back-to-back appearances in the national title game: Duke is the job I would watch. Mike Krzyzewski has great respect for Stevens, who is widely considered the future of college coaching. Filling Krzyzewski's shoes is an impossible task. But replacing him with Stevens, whenever that time comes for Krzyzewski to retire, would give Duke one of the very best coaches in the country and someone who epitomizes what coaching should ideally be about during these very complicated times in college athletics.
Auerbach: I'm sure the day will come someday, but Brad Stevens is only going to leave Butler for one of the best jobs in college basketball at this point -- since he hasn't jumped at the high-major jobs that have been available in recent years. Duke, like Eric said, would be worth it.
@SirColbyBrown: How long does Tom Crean stay at Indiana?
Prisbell: In the college ranks, I don't know where else he would want to go. Maybe Nicole feels otherwise, but I just don't know what's a step up when you are already at the top. It is a job you try to hold onto as long as you can, unless you are Kelvin Sampson and can't put down the phone. And the thing about Crean, at least in my view, is that he is not building a national contender the way many think you HAVE to do it these days – with a slew of one-and-dones (see Kentucky). There is a belief that this program has staying power. And I second that notion. They were simply one year ahead on the learning curve last season and now are in position to win it all. They aren't going away, and neither should their coach, for a long, long time.
Auerbach: I don't know where he'd go, either. When Indiana basketball is good, that's easily one of the best jobs in college sports. Tuesday night in a supposedly "neutral site" game, Brooklyn's Barclays Center was filled with crimson and sounded a lot like a miniature Assembly Hall. Crean has a wild, devoted and enthusiastic fan base who loves basketball more than anything, and that's all you can really ask for as a coach. He's been able to recruit well, and he coaches the premier program in a state where a lot of elite players play. With the success Indiana has enjoyed last season and so far this season, it'll only get easier for Crean to attract top talent. If you can be a national championship contender at a school like Indiana, why would you leave? You'd be immortalized if you win a few titles.
@SirColbyBrown: What are the top five jobs in college basketball?
Prisbell: My list is pretty set in stone, in no particular order: North Carolina, UCLA, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas. That's the Mount Rushmore (plus one) of college basketball jobs. The one job always debated is Duke, which in my view is not inherently a top-five job. The coach made it so. Same with Syracuse. UConn? Not even close. All credit to that curmudgeon (and great coach) Jim Calhoun, who built a power from zilch. Texas, which has the best crop of high school players of any state, Florida, Louisville, Ohio State are among others with great pedigrees and/or resources. I'm interested in how Nicole feels about the Michigan job, which is a good one but the school still bleeds football first ... And I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. As someone who will have round-the-clock basketball games on, enjoy all the hoops.
Auerbach: I think one of the main requirements for the "best" jobs in college basketball is that it's at a basketball-first school, so unfortunately that rules out some schools that have had strong basketball programs at mostly football-centric schools -- like Michigan. I believe Michigan is getting close to the level of other elite programs -- I'd add Michigan State to the list of schools Eric mentioned above -- but the Wolverines, Buckeyes, Gators and even the Spartans play at football-first schools. They all have great coaches and resources, but at the end of the day, it's still tough to outshine one of your school's other teams. That's why I think the best hoops jobs are probably UNC, UCLA, Indiana and Kentucky. It's a toss-up between Duke, Kansas and Louisville for that fifth spot in my opinion. But at all of those schools, hoops is The Thing.

TREND: All Dessert DinnersThe ultimate temptation
How many times have you secretly wanted a meal to hurry along to when the dessert arrives? In recent years this observation has brought about attempts to bring people what they want immediately. The all-dessert dinner was born: pre-dessert, main dessert and final dessert should deliver the utmost pleasure. But what is the best way to approach this?
Desserts are experiencing a boom. Even 'dessert-only' restaurants are making an appearance. This is also something that Dave Beeckmans noticed. He acquired his patisserie chef experience in the Sir Anthony Van Dijck restaurant (with Marc Paesbrugghe), at that time a Michelin starred restaurant, at the Magnus patisserie, and as patisserie chef at the Nico Central restaurant (belonging to Michelin-star chef Nico Ladenis); later he became chef de cuisine at the Dominican Hotel in Brussels and today at the Radisson Blu Park Lane Hotel in Antwerp. "'Dessert-only' restaurants have a better chance of working in countries that are known for their culinary exuberance," he explains. "Spain or France, for example. Or the Netherlands; this country is soaring in the field of gastronomy. Belgium also has its chance, especially where its cuisine overlaps. And, of course, all-dessert dinners play a major role in such restaurants. But they also captivate customers in classic restaurants."
Warning: elaborate composition!
An all-dessert dinner must be designed in a careful fashion so that boredom does not set in. This means offering enough contrast between sweetness and acidity, a hint of bitterness and even a touch of intensity, rich smoothness and crunchiness, fresh fruit mixing with a creamy sauce. (...) Dave Beeckmans' creations aim to 'tease & please'. "The pre-dessert should, above all, be 'tantalising'," he explains. "It is the first thing that people see; it must make them want to eat more while presenting beautiful yet unexpected combinations, making them curious: 'that was surprising, what can we expect now?' The main dessert can, in my opinion, work well as a hot, warm or cold dish, but it must be creamy and tasty. The final dessert must represent the culmination of the dinner: fresh, powerful, intense; an aromatic explosion but without being too extreme or too heavy. Indeed, overall, the most important thing is to integrate enough contrast so that customers want to try everything, from start to finish; the whole palette of flavours must be represented."
Key examples
Let's illustrate the approaches to all-dessert dinners with some
examples. (...) Amsterdam's very young restaurant
'Sucre', which pays a lot of attention to desserts and
offers menus with 4 or 5 dishes of unique composition, interprets
the quest for enchanting contrasts with vanilla cheesecake or apple
pudding with cinnamon ice cream, various chocolate desserts or a
'Thriller': an espresso crème brûlée, chocolate mousse with
cardamom and iced coffee.
For his part, Dave Beeckmans, for the pre-dessert, offers a green asparagus granita and a smoked Parma ham biscuit. The freshness and coldness of the crushed ice in the granita contrasts with the saltiness, umami, and crispiness of the smoked Parma ham. A little Tête de Moine cheese is the best way of accentuating the umami experience. The main dessert is homemade nougat made from three sorts of goat's cheese and rocket, caramelised nuts with a hint of chocolate, cucumber and a spicy dressing of sambal. The salty, spicy and sugary flavours dominate here. The dessert selected is a cucumber bavarois served with a hot chocolate sauce.
Dave Beeckmans: "I intentionally chose three cross-overs. No-one expects green asparagus in a dessert. Goat's cheese is a true classic but not offered in as a sweet, as nougat with nuts. And cucumber for dessert is a complete surprise."
He suggests even more possible components in all-dessert dinners: tomato confit with thyme sorbet as the main dessert, for instance. Dolcini pasta (sweetened ravioli filled with crème brûlée, pistachio, chocolate, lime or tiramisu) is slightly heavier and therefore better suited to the main dessert. Then he mentions his creation of 'pâtes à la bolofraise' (sweetened pasta with pieces of strawberry in place of the Bolognese sauce and grated white chocolate instead of the cheese, a real hit with children), chicory ice cream, and grated granny smith apple pont neuf with almond cream and pepper ice cream.
The richness of drinks
You have to start an all-dessert dinner
with freshness and finish without reserve. And what about drinks?
Well, they follow the same pattern. The renowned sommelier
Steve Bettens provides an example.
A pre-dessert of lemon sorbet with strawberries would combine well with the Riesling Auslese Trittenheimer Apothek 2008 cultivated naturally on the Eva Clüsserath estate. A main dessert of stracciatella ice cream with raspberries would go well with a 21 Year Old Rare Tawny from the Anvers Estate in Langhorne Creek Hills, Australia, and finally the dessert of iced coffee and yoghurt mousse with almonds would be accompanied well by a 5 Year Old Alvada Madeira from Blandy's. Beeckmans: "But there are many other possibilities. This is precisely what is enjoyable about all-dessert dinners: you can combine them will all sorts of drinks. Beer, for example, would go very well, because within beer, whether light or stronger, you can find all of the facets that you can in wines. So you could start with a Hoegaarden and finish with stronger, darker beers. Gins and liqueurs can also be envisaged. You could therefore start with a fruity limoncello. It would then be possible to offer an Elixir d'Anvers with the main dessert; it goes very nicely with desserts because it is fresh and spiced. The danger is that it will quickly dominate. To finish, you could opt for stronger liqueurs or spirits such as Armagnac or Cognac. You could also work with different blends of coffee, starting with a fresh sort and finishing with a strong blend. Same thing for tea, starting for instance with a lightly aromatic Earl Grey and finishing, via a more fruity tea such as citronelle, with a more powerful sort such as a classic English blend."
But Dave Beeckmans highlights that all-dessert dinners can only succeed if they are created by professionals who have a wide understanding of the products, have enough knowledge of chemistry, know what products exist, how they react in particular contexts (for instance with acidity) and at what temperature they should be served, etc. Who will pick up the gauntlet?

Don't get us wrong, color blocking and high contrast are both excellent ways to make an outfit pop—but sometimes going the understated route can make the biggest impact. Monochromatic styling requires a bit of bravery (done incorrectly, it could get costume-y), as well as like-hued items to mix and match. If you're into this look, check our tips below on pulling it off with your favorite jeans this fall—and check out Nasty Gal's newest lookbook for more ideas.
Acid Trip Skinny Jeans / Bonitas Cutoff Shorts
1. Colored jeans are a shoe-in for this style! After all, you're more likely to find a top to go with your over-dyed lilac denim than your destroyed dark wash skinnies.
2. Mix textures and variations on your chosen color to keep from looking like a children's book character. A solid top with acid wash jeans or a printed top with smooth, non-distressed flares will keep you looking chic.
3. Stick with neutral hues to start if you're unsure: a heather grey is a perfect launch point!
Want the jeans above? You can have them! You're welcome.

Plasma pleases plenty
Technological developments in lasers are positioning them as an attractive alternative to plasma. But fabricators are still sticking with plasma cutting for many applications where speed and cost-effective operation are concerns.
In case you missed it, check out this excerpt from the article "National research programs explore plate welding for shipbuilding" in the March 2004 issue of The FABRICATOR®:
One project objective is to introduce laser cutting technology—which is already being used to cut sheet metal worldwide and to cut plate in the Asian and European shipbuilding industries—to the U.S. shipbuilding industry for plate cutting The 6-kW Tanaka LMXIII CO2 laser from Alabama Laser used for the test project cuts mild steel plate 1.25 inches thick and as wide as 13 feet The laser-assisted oxygen cutting project group aspires to develop a laser technique that can cut plate as thick as 4 in. using relatively low power (less than 2 kW).
Of course, the improvement of laser cutting over the years is not really front-page news. Fabricators have gravitated toward the technology as it has become more affordable over the years and repeatable cut quality continues to remain hard to beat by more traditional technologies.
What is news is that laser cutting appears to be entering new territory—continual cutting of steel plate thicker than 1 in.—and further research promises to expand the territory even farther.
Where does this leave plasma cutting? Right where it's been for most of the past decade: a cost-effective, efficient means of slicing through sheet metal and plate that promises to be around for a long time thanks to some noteworthy technological developments.
"A trend that we have seen is that companies have purchased lasers to do thicker materials on all of their production," said Derek Weston, sales and marketing manager for AKS Inc., a manufacturer of CNC plasma cutting machinery. "As they try to cut costs and when they see that their capacity is 'maxxed' out on a laser and they are processing thick material at very slow speeds, they are looking to replace those lasers with a high-density plasma system.
"That's an area where a company will accept the quality [that plasma cutting machines] offer, and it makes sense to replace the laser."
Speed Merchant
J.O. Mory Inc., a northern Indiana-based heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning contractor (HVAC) with a specialty fabrication division, recently has had work sent its way from a nearby metal fabricator, which happens to use a laser. The fabricator can laser-cut good parts, but it is running at full capacity, according to John Wilson Jr., J.O. Mory's weld shop foreman. Wilson figured his company's new Vicon plasma table is more than capable of taking on the extra work because of the machine's speed, which he estimated to be 10 times faster than the other company's laser machine.
New technology developments makes the speed possible. Previously the company used a 10-year-old Cybermation to plow its way through steel sheet and plate.
"We can cut material at about double the speed now," said Rich Hack, J.O. Mory's shop supervisor. The custom fabrication shop cuts steel thicknesses from 26-gauge sheet to 1-in. plate.
Several factors contribute to the increased speeds of plasma cutting equipment. First, several advancements have been made in the plasma torch source. The HySpeed® plasma cutting system from Hypertherm illustrates this point. In more traditional plasma cutting operations, the plasma gas runs between an electrode and the nozzle, gets ionized, and is hit with an electric current to create an arc. A shield gas, fed into the plasma arc at a right angle, helps to constrict the arc and cool the nozzle. With Hypertherm's Coaxial-assist™ approach, the shield gas is fed parallel to the plasma arc. David LaPrade, the team leader for Hypertherm's mechanized business, said this creates a faster and more powerful plasma jet.
The advancements don't end there. Microprocessors now control power supplies, which ensure proper power for specific jobs. Consumables are designed for and more aligned with higher amperages and precision cutting.
Software developments also have helped push the speed envelope. Operators don't need to spend as long with part entry thanks to improved user interfaces, and the actual time to do the initial programming is less. In some instances, the nesting and computer-aided design functions can be found in the same software package.
J.O. Mory's Wilson said the software—developed by the same company that manufactured the Vicon plasma cutter, Plasma Automation—really helped to sell them on the equipment purchase. He estimated that only two days are needed to train an operator to use the plasma cutter to do HVAC work because of the software programming that already exists.
"It's the programming capabilities that are exciting. Some of the people here in the company don't believe what they can do," Wilson said.
Quality Counts
Bill Kirkpatrick Jr., vice president of human resources and safety for custom fabricator NORFAB, was involved heavily in the purchase two years ago of its plasma cutting machine, an InnerLogic torch unit through AKS Inc. NORFAB, a sister company of Northern Ohio Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc., had an older plasma cutter, but the customers had newer quality expectations that the equipment couldn't meet.
"The older table at the time that we bought it was really more or less used to make fittings and ductwork. We really didn't need that much accuracy to do that," Kirkpatrick said. "But nowadays all of the customers are demanding a more finished product, and we are definitely able to achieve that with the newer technology."
The metal fabricator uses its plasma cutter on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to 1 in. thick.
"They've really perfected [the technology] quite a bit—a lot less dross than the older machines, a lot higher accuracy, and a lot smoother edge," Kirkpatrick added. "I think they have learned to utilize the gases better in the cutting process."
The industry is very clear about the applications in which gases should be used. For example, oxygen plasma has emerged as the industry standard because of its ability to help produce a good cut quality and to increase cutting speeds, but air plasma can be used in many instances on carbon steels if the quality requirements are not as stringent. Indeed, older nitrogen plasma systems are being used to produce acceptable cuts on stainless steel and aluminum. In some instances, multigas plasma systems are offered to give the end user choices when it comes to cutting.
But the quality improvements don't end with gas delivery. Brad Johnson, Koike Aronson's product manager of cutting equipment, pointed out that plasma equipment manufacturers are working closely with CNC manufacturers to develop features that help increase quality. An example of this is advanced torch height control.
Imagine a plasma torch head moving over an uneven surface. The torch head moves, mimicking the inconsistencies in the metal. The cut and impact on material are consistent throughout the process. Fabricators are taking advantage of this feature to produce better cuts not only on not-quite-perfect steel sheet, but also sheet with special features, such as diamond plate.
CNCs also can be retrofitted to older machines. The newer packages offer better programming features, faster communications, and a more user-friendly design.
For those fabricators who want a PC interface, they are finding machine control software that is also contributing to better cut quality.
"The improvements in fabricator cutting software offer better control of torch lead-in, lead-out, and kerf allowance. This better control of the cut path minimizes the number of material pierces, which in turn leads to longer consumable life and greater cut part accuracy," said Tom Barney, part of Plasma Automation's technical support staff.
Despite the strides made in quality, when it comes to plasma cutting, the technology's reputation is not as positive as it should be, according to Al Julian, marketing manager for W.A. Whitney Co.
"The tendency of the industry is to refer to parts as having 'laser quality' or 'plasma quality.' This does not allow for the various levels of distinction within the plasma cutting category," he said. "Some of today's high-definition, high-performance, and conventional oxygen plasma cutting systems rival laser cutting in terms of quality, but unfortunately, these processes do not receive the credit they deserve based on the performance of their less expensive cousins."
To illustrate the point, Julian noted that some plasma cutting tables do not have the same construction as laser cutting tables. Because the frames, drives, and gantries are not sized to offer crisp acceleration and deceleration, extra vibration during the cutting process creates more rounded parts. In the end, Julian said, the process gets blamed for the bad parts and not the equipment.
New Life
Fabricators like plasma cutting because for many it's affordable. They don't have to look too far to find a table for $15,000.
With this in mind, equipment suppliers are doing their best to prolong consumables life. Fabricators want the low cost of operation that they expect from a cost-effective piece of equipment.
For example, Hypertherm has incorporated something it calls LongLife® technology into its consumables. Flow technology at the torch and increased control of the power supply reportedly help to extend consumable parts life. Koike Aronson's Johnson said that InnerLogic is doing its own work on consumables in an effort to improve quality.
For some, however, the advancements are not yet an enticement to invest in the new technology.
Kyle Cloman is owner/president of Waste Gas Fabricating Co. in Fairless Hills, Pa. He bought a 200-amp 3400 XP punch/plasma machine from W.A. Whitney almost two years ago. The company processes steel from thin gauges all the way to 12-in.-thick plate.
Waste Gas ran a demo almost a year ago testing new consumables. Cloman said they were impressed, but the price remained a stumbling block.
Sometimes the perception of higher operating costs associated with plasma cutting is not warranted. Consumables life may be greatly reduced if plasma cutting is not the appropriate technology for a certain application, according to W.A. Whitney's Julian.
A simple rule of thumb, Julian said, is that the life of a plasma cutting consumable is related to the number of times the arc is initiated. So for hole-intensive work, the operating cost per part goes up based on the number of holes that need to be created on each part. Each time a hole is created, the arc has to be reignited.
Just One Answer
In the end, plasma cutting still has a place in many fabricating shops. Lasers have made strides, but so have plasma machines.
But as customer requirements grow more demanding, the equipment mix grows more varied. The days when a fabricator cut metal exclusively with plasma may be past.
NORFAB has a waterjet on the same gantry as its plasma cutting torch. "We really bought the equipment because it had both capabilities," said NORFAB's Kirkpatrick.
"What we were looking at [prior to the equipment purchase] was that everyone was purchasing lasers. We didn't want to get into that market. We wanted to be able to achieve similar tolerances with the plasma that would meet our customers' demands," he added. "With the waterjet, we are able to carry that to the next level."
With the waterjet, NORFAB can cut almost any material other than tempered glass. Kirkpatrick said the equipment's maximum cutting thickness is 7 in.
Waste Gas Fabricating doesn't have a waterjet, but it does offer a Bystronic 4,000-watt laser, two Messer MG plasma/flame machines, and a Messer MG dual plasma cutter to go along with its W.A. Whitney punch/plasma combination unit.
"If we are cutting for the refuse industry, they don't need laser-cut [metal] to build roll-off cans, so we are going to cut that metal with a plasma head. It's fast and quick," Waste Gas' Cloman said.
By the sound of it, few fabricators are ready to abandon ship when it comes to plasma cutting technology.

Now that the Kindle 3 is available direct from Amazon UK it has started putting a ton of effort into promoting it.
Three of the more obvious ways are – really cheap ebook prices for bestsellers, lots of free books, and a banner in the center/middle of the Amazon.co.uk homepage.
It brings up an interesting question – What role do public domain free books and free book offers play in getting readers to buy the Kindle 3?
Impact of Free books and Cheap Books on Kindle 3 Sales
Imagine you're a reader in the UK waltzing along Regent Street in your Burberry Coat and oxfords and you see someone with a Kindle. The purity of reading is being violated but you're far too polite to scream for the Police. You also have to admit you're a bit curious.
Definitely not buying that – how common and shallow. Wonder what it's like.
Then you're on the Tube because you know how traffic is at rush hour and you see 2 people reading on Kindles (that's more than you see in a month normally). Now you're really curious.
What's going on here? In front of everyone? Are we forgetting the sanctity of the physical book.
By this point you've decided you have to find out more. So at home, at a time when your significant other is asleep or absent so your sacrilegious behavior stays a secret, you log on to Amazon UK and read up on the Kindle and see if the books you like are available (not that you'd ever buy it – just to check).
One of the first things that you will probably notice is that the books are really cheap.
Cheap Books make the Kindle 3 very attractive
You are bound to notice that Amazon has priced Kindle books at absolutely ridiculous prices.
If I were American I'd say that's cheaper than a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, we already have coffee more expensive than hardcovers here.
It's cheaper than the cost of a Tube ride from Notting Hill Gate to Angel (if you don't have an Oyster card, that is).
Suddenly all those people carrying around Kindles seem like they're on to something. You make a quick calculation – If you bought kindle versions of books instead of physical books then you'd probably save more than what the Kindle 3 costs in 12 months.
The temptations the devil puts in our way.
Surely, that price is turning good men to evil. You are sorely tempted but thankfully you are reminded of the smell of books.
The Smell of Books Tax
You think back to the smell of books and all the time spent in libraries. The times you sat down by the fireplace and read some of the most wonderful books in the world. It's a lifetime of memories wrapped up in that smell.
I'd save a lot of money. Could I give up the smell of books? Would it be impropriety? Perhaps it's just a little sin – easily compensated by giving a busker some loose change.
So you're in the midst of this struggle between the pain of giving up physical books on one hand and the pleasure of cheap Kindle book prices on the other.
You decide you might as well see what books are available and what people are reading. On the Bestsellers list page you run into another Kindle advantage.
Kindle 3 has Free Books
It dawns on you that this is not such a bad thing – this concept of free books.
You mean to say there are all these free books – If I had a Kindle 3 I'd get them for free. Really? There are even 2 that seem mildly interesting.
So now you are tempted by the thought of free books.
To make things more interesting there aren't just a few free books – There are 1.8 million free public domain books and 20-30 new free book offers every month.
That's almost as many free books as there are Black Cabs in London. Maybe Amazon are on to something here.
At this point the Kindle 3 is beginning to win out.
Free books may very well be the Decider
Fundamentally, there are two roadblocks to people getting a Kindle 3 –
- The attachment people have to physical books.
- The initial investment of buying a Kindle 3.
Let's assume the cheaper book prices and advantages like portability and convenience balance out the attachment people have to physical books. It's not a totally wild assumption – no matter how much people like physical books they'll admit the prices are getting out of hand and it isn't very convenient to carry them around or to have to make trips to a bookstore to buy them (that is, if the bookstore is still around and hasn't gone into receivership).
The Kindle 3's convenience and the cheaper book prices will win some people over and leave others almost ready to switch.
That's where free books come in. Free Books (along with Cheap Books) help readers feel their initial investment in the Kindle 3 is justified as they'll save more than that in the long run.
Free Books on the Kindle 3 = Kindle 3 Purchase Decision
'Free' is an amazing word – More people search for 'free' and free things than almost anything else. You even have people buying things they don't really need because they want the free bonus that comes with it.
Plus free is something books have never, ever had. You can take even public domain books and used books and there were still prices attached. The Kindle 3 represents the first time we have free books that you can read just like you would a paper book.
So when you get readers already torn between the cheaper prices and advantages of the Kindle 3 and physical books and add in 'free books' you get a lot of them to go with the Kindle.
There's an upfront cost of buying the Kindle 3. However, there are two ways readers can rationalize it in their heads –
- Keep saving $2 to $5 on books and after a few dozen books the Kindle 3 has paid for itself.
- Combine free public domain books with the free book offers (there'll be at least a few a reader likes every month) and in 6-12 months the Kindle 3 has paid for itself.
We also have lots of independent authors offering free books outside the Kindle Store in PDF format.
Amazon's strategy to sell the Kindle 3 in the UK is perfect – offer ebooks at really low prices and offer lots of free books. It'd be nice if they remembered that there are a lot of Kindle 3 owners in the US and offered some of those free books to us too.

The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
It is a really nice apartment. Our stay there was perfect. It has room enough for 4 people and it´s very clean and comfortable. In addition, it is located in the center of Manhattan, close to the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Times Square and many other interesting places to visit. I loved it!
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
Due to a maintenane problem with our reservation in Manhattan at apartment ref: 8329 we were transferred to another 1 bedroom apartment ref 8360 on W 45th street. The location was brilliant just off 5th avenue and the view from the apartment was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the facilites at the CASA residence and the staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful. We would not hesitate to book this property again on our next visit to New York and would hightly recommend it to anyone wishing to take a break to this amazing city. Mr & Mrs Ruddy (UK)
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
The apartment was centrally located as promised and seemed to have enjoyed a cosmetic overhaul relatively recently.
The outside of the building and inside communal parts were not to the same standard as the apartment which was a bit of a let down.
The apartment itself was clean-except the windows - but noisy due to absence of adequate double glazing which is essential as it almost directly sits at a busy cross street.
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.
Everything is perfect!!

Semi Precious Weapons' Justin Tranter Applauds Lady Gaga's Loyal Side
Beneath the multiple layers of creativity, ultra-modern attire and tons of addictive songs, Lady Gaga has always been loyal to those around her and to her brigade of fans. This was only one of the numerous qualities mentioned by her colleagues in the MTV program "Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside," a documentary which shed light on both Gaga as an artist and as a person.
In another MTV program, "Lady Gaga: The After-Show," the show's host James Montgomery arranged sit-downs with many of Gaga's close allies in the music game, such as Semi Precious Weapons lead singer Justin Tranter, her longtime friend Lady Starlight (shown with Gaga in photo to left), documentary maker Davi Russo, and her frequent producer Fernando Garibay.

Stylish and almost comfortable
"Flats have always been a little uncomfortable for me, but now that I have broken them in, they are both stylish and comfortable. The first two times I wore them, I did develop blisters on my heels so be prepared and pack a Band-Aid. Whenever I wear them I get compliments and love how they fuse classic leopard and rocker, stud details."

3 Cs! (Comfortable, Cute, Chic)
"I am SO SATISFIED with this purchase! I was skeptical to order this shoe because it's not my norm. But I decided to try it because it was different and I envisioned wearing with my skinny jeans. the picture doesn't do it justice....these are super cute! And soooo comfortable! I wore them this weekend to walk around the city and I was so surprised to find that my feet did not hurt. The fabric is bendable and there's almost no gappage (is that a real word?). anyway, I got lots of compliments and I like them because they are different. I will definitely order this Zigi Soho brand again."
