New Hair Looks
Losing your hair during treatment for cancer can be one of the most difficult side effects - many women lose all or some of their hair, while others don't lose any.
Ask your doctor what to anticipate and find out if there is anything you can do to help retain your hair. Then, speak with a hairstylist you trust to find out what to do if your hair thins, and what you can expect when it grows back.
Whether your hair thins or you lose all of it, please know that you can anticipate it growing back once your treatment is over. In the meantime, the Look Good Feel Better community is here to offer courage, strength, support and peace of mind.
It is a good idea to speak with your hairstylist about how to take care of your hair during treatment. There are many ways to approach it – and the choices you make are strictly individual.
- Use gentle shampoos and conditioners during your treatment.
- Steer clear of medicated or drying shampoos.
- Avoid ingredients such as salicylic acid, menthol, camphor, eucalyptus, and henna, which may be irritating.
- Postpone color, perms or straightening treatments until your doctor gives you the OK – generally six months after your treatment.
- Avoid blow-dryers, curling irons, and rollers.
- Speak with your stylist if you know that you are going to lose your hair – he or she may encourage you to shave your head, rather than have your hair fall out in clumps.
- If you are getting radiation therapy on your head, you may want to let your hair grow long to help cover thinning spots.
- Save a lock of your hair to match the color in case it falls out and you need a wig.
- Ask your hairdresser for styling advice when your hair starts growing back – it may be a different texture or color. This could be temporary as well.
Coping with hair loss is jarring and difficult. Many women find it helpful to face this challenge with the strength and support of family, friends and the Look Good Feel Better community. At our group programs, women at different stages of treatments talk about their options, experiences and emotions – and often find it reassuring to see other women's hair growing back. In a matter of time, yours will too.
Our cosmetologists are happy to help you find the best solution for your needs – whether it is a wig, hat, scarf, head covering or combination of several. If you are comfortable without hair, we can help you identify the right makeup and earrings to set off your natural look.
Look Good Feel Better is here to help you deal with your hair loss – stylishly.
Synthetic WigsSynthetic wigs cost less than human-hair wigs and are easier to maintain because they keep their style – even after washing.
Machine-made Synthetic WigsA well-crafted, machine-made synthetic wig is reasonably priced and should come in a style that resembles your hair. Mass-produced, synthetic wigs often perform better than low-quality human-hair wigs, so it's important to know what you are getting.
Hand-made Synthetic WigsHigh-quality, hand-made wigs look even more natural, since strands of hair are individually tied, allowing the wig to be parted and styled with hair accessories.
Custom-made Synthetic WigsHigh-end, custom-made wigs are created to your exact specifications. They will look the most like your own hair, but cost more and take several months to produce.
Human-Hair WigsHuman-hair wigs can be styled, touched up, and cared for in the same way you care for your own hair. This makes them feel more natural to some women. The downside is that they are expensive, require quite a bit of care, and often need to be styled by a professional.
- Research your possibilities online, then have a friend or family member accompany you.
- Consider that buying a wig online or through a catalog may be private and convenient, but comes without the benefit of trying it on.
- Look for synthetic wigs at hair salons, wig stores, special hair-loss replacement centers, wig catalogs and online. Call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or your local American Cancer Society office for a recommendation.
- If you are in serious financial need, you may be eligible for a wig through the American Cancer Society or Cancer Care.
- Ask your doctor about prescribing a "cranial prosthesis," which your health insurance may cover.
- Take your time and ask questions before you make a decision. You may even want to sleep on it.
- Look for a wig with a loose mesh cap if you will be wearing it in warm weather.
- Try wigs in a shade a bit lighter than your natural color. Some women find that it brightens their appearance and offsets changes in their skin.
- Remember that shorter styles are less likely to tangle and easier to maintain.
- If it is affordable, consider buying two reasonably priced synthetic wigs with different hairstyles for variety.
- Look for falls, bangs, and hairpieces for versatility. They will also come in handy when your wig is being washed.
- Consider purchasing some of the following accessories: a wig cap, stand, shampoo, spray, conditioner, gel strips, hair net, hair pins, rollers, and a wire wig brush.
Getting Started with Your Wig
- Hold the wig by the front at your forehead and slip it over your head.
- Make sure the two wig tabs are placed in front of your ears and set on your temples.
- Keep your ears pulled out from under the wig.
- Pull the wig down in the back to secure it and make sure that the front of the wig begins at your natural hairline.
- Use the hooks or fabric fastener, in the back of your wig to adjust the fit.
- Test the fit and comfort of your wig by wearing it at home for a few hours.
- If this is your first time wearing a wig, allow yourself some time to let the awkwardness pass.
- A good wig shop, stylist or a trained volunteer at a Look Good Feel Better group program can help you get accustomed to putting on your wig.
Styling Your Wig
- Many wigs are made with extra hair that may be trimmed and set to create a flattering hairstyle. Ask your hairstylist or a wig stylist to trim away excess hair.
- Consider using bangs or wisps to obscure the hairline.
- Use light wig spray or low-alcohol hairspray to keep the wig styled.
- If you normally wear a nylon wig cap, try switching to cotton when the weather gets warm or humid.
- Have your wig resized if you lose your hair after the wig has been fitted.
Wig Care Tips
- Gently brush straight styles with a wire brush before washing. Opt for a vent brush or pick to keep curlier styles intact.
- Add a capful of mild conditioning shampoo to a basin of cool water. Soak your wig for 2 minutes, swish to rinse out the shampoo, and remove.
- Swish your wig once again in clean, cool water. Gently squeeze out excess water and blot with a towel.
- Try wig conditioner if you want to soften and add luster to your wig. Leave it on for just a few minutes, then rinse and blot as above.
- Tightly "finger-squeeze" any curls while the wig is wet.
- Do not comb or brush a wet wig -– it may interfere with the style.
- To dry, place the wig on a clean towel, wire wig form or tall hairspray bottle. Let the wig air-dry, keeping it away from direct sunlight.
- Shake out the dry wig and style. Synthetic wigs or synthetic/human-hair blends will hold their original style. Human-hair wigs will need to be styled after each washing.
- Do not use hot blow-dryers, curling irons, or other forms of heat on synthetic wigs.
- Store your wig on a wig stand away from radiators, vents, or humidity to maintain its shape. Covering it with a hair net will also help it stay styled.
Turban Styling Tips
- Buy a ready-made turban or create one of your own by wrapping a 38-inch scarf or bandana around your head and tying securely.
- Choose colors that flatter your skin tone and accentuate your style.
- Try different styles of turbans – some come with bangs or other hairpieces.
- Use a turban to protect your scalp and keep your head warm while you sleep.
- To add height to a turban, try pinning an unused shoulder pad inside, at the crown of the head. Secure it with a cotton headband or wig cap.
- Personalize your turban with pins, clip earrings, and scarves.
Scarf Tips
- Use a simple 32- to 36-inch square to create a full head covering.
- Use a smaller square or oblong as a band.
- Choose a scarf appropriate to the season and occasion.
- Choose colors and patterns that coordinate with what you are wearing. Two patterns in the same color will add texture and interest to your look.
- Silk is elegant, but tends to slip.
- Cotton is great, casual option – it's cool and easy to keep in place.
- Wool challis scarves can be itchy, but drape beautifully.
- Coordinate scarves with clothes that have softer lines.
- Tie the ends in a bow over the point.
- Knot the ends, fold the point around the bundled ends, and then secure it inside the band.
- Cross the ends over the point and coil to the front. Intertwine, or braid, the coils to make one long, continuous band. Fold the point up into the crossed area.
- If the scarf is too small, fold it off-center to make a larger cap. If the ends are short, band with a second scarf and finish with a good-looking tie.
BowTie ends in a half-knot. Form the first loop with the lower tied end. Then bring the other end over and around the first loop and continue partially through the opening that is formed, making the knot and second loop. Flare the loops and spread center.
Square knotTie a half-knot. Bring the upper end down over the lower piece. Keep looping around the lower end and come through the opening. Flare endings and spread center knot.
RosetteTie a half-knot, leaving the ends long. Tightly intertwine the ends to form a coil, leaving a short length uncoiled. Relax the coil and guide it around itself. Poke the end of the coil partway through the center of the circle. Spread the sash-ends to ruffle around the rosette.
Half-bowTie the ends in a half-knot, making the lower end twice as long as the upper end. Make a loop with the lower end. Then bring the upper end down over the loop. Go around the lower loop and bring the whole scarf-end completely through the opening. Flare the loop and spread the knot.
BandFold opposite corners of a square to the center, overlap points, and fold again to desired width.
CoilTwist a band from the center out, for an even coil. Several simple, decorative head wraps may be created this way.
How to Create a T-shirt Wrap
- Start by cutting straight across the shirt, just under the sleeves. You should be left with a smaller piece that includes the neckband and sleeves, and a bigger fabric tube.
- Take the hemline of the tube and center it on your forehead at the hairline.
- Hold each side of the tube at the back of your head and create a figure eight by crossing the fabric in the right hand over the left.
- With the fabric crossed, twist the fabric upward, and pull the lower half of the figure eight from the back of your head to the front. This creates a halo or headband effect. Tuck any extra fabric under the twisted band.
- Just like a turban, a T-shirt wrap may be accented with bangs and other hairpieces.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kentucky is coming to Lipscomb from more than one direction.
Friday afternoon at 6 p.m., Western Kentucky visit the Whitworth Racquet Club to face the Lady Bisons and at 7 p.m., the Bisons face the Hilltoppers at Richland Country Club. Saturday afternoon at 5 Northern Kentucky visits to play Atlantic Sun matches against the Bisons and Lady Bisons.
Western Kentucky is 6-5.
The Lady Bisons lost A-Sun matches on the road last weekend at Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson. They also lost Wednesday at home 4-3 to Northern Iowa.
"The biggest thing right now we need to focus on is our preparation," LU coach Andrew Harris said. "We have to do all we can to be at our best when it is match time.
"All the girls continue to be open-minded about our process mentality even though we are eight months into the season. And that is hard to do."
When Harris talks about the process he is primarily talking about two things - fundamentals and daily improvement.
"We can't worry about getting better in three weeks or in a month," Harris said. "We have to improve Friday."
There are four new additions to the Lady Bisons. They have been close in several matches and the losses to Northern Iowa and a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Liberty are two that Harris has on his mind.
"We are definitely at the doorstep," Harris said. "They have to think about what they can do the next day to get better in order to make sure that the next time they are in that position that they can come through."

I was looking into several sites and perfomed a WHOIS lookup on them. I noticed that many had falsified information listed in their fields, and these sites were registered through an ICANN accredited registrar. As an example a domain was registered to :
Company Name
Cyber, Space 61294 (zip isnt even valid as far as I can tell)
Is this legal???
If it is not, then how can domains get by with doing this without being terminiated?

Teachers! Here is another field trip between covers from Tony Fredericks, a funny but very astute professor. Here he visits wetlands inhabited by leaping frogs and zip-zipping dragonflies. Teachers will appreciate the accurate science and great illustrations. Kids will appreciate the humor and cadence of the text, while learning how the wetland creatures interact in their community. Two pages of Field Notes and fun facts at the back of the book offer intriguing information on these creatures.
Come spend A Day on the Mountain, the follow up to Kevin Kurtz's award-winning first book, A Day in the Salt Marsh. Rhyming verse and vibrant illustrations take readers up a mountain, from the forested bottom to the snow-covered top. While climbing, they witness the changing habitats and meet the plants and animals that live there. Learn about Black bears, Great Gray Owls, Garter snakes, Clark's nutcrackers, Bighorn sheep, Hummingbirds, Yellow-bellied marmots, Mountain goats, Salamanders, and Snow fleas.
Chicken Little may have thought the sky was falling but Peter Pika is sure the glaciers are melting and is off to talk to the Mountain Monarch about it. Joined along the way by friends Tammy Ptarmigan, Sally Squirrel, Mandy Marmot, and Harry Hare, they all wonder what will happen to them if the glaciers melt. Where will they live, how will they survive? When Wiley Wolverine tries to trick them, can the Mountain Monarch save them? More importantly, can the Mountain Monarch stop the glaciers from melting?
This book is a rare find, well deserving of the prestigious Picture Book of the Year award from CBC-NSTA. The science about dragonflies is perfectly integrated into a story in which the remarkable metamorphosis of a dragonfly from a mucky nymph ("Eeeewww," says Eliza) to a beautiful winged creature ("Magnificent!" says Aunt Doris) is a metaphor for the magic of how Eliza, too, is growing up. Teachers will find it useful primarily in an elementary science unit on insects, life cycles and habitats, but also in for language arts lessons in theme, symbolism, and metaphor. The watercolor illustrations are rich, whimsical, and fun. There are two pages of additional science in the back. This is an exceptional example of creative non-fiction writing.
Teachers! This book is like a whole unit on migration wrapped in a winning combination of easy verse, factual language, and beautiful illustrations. For animals, migration is a powerful compulsion to travel, sometimes over long distances, often skipping many meals. Sometimes, as in the case of the monarch butterfly, a round-trip takes several generations. Why do they do it? How do they succeed? The ten featured species offer a broad representation of migration: loggerhead turtles, monarch butterflies, manatees, ruby-throated hummingbirds, Pacific salmon, Canada geese, California gray whales, caribou, Arctic tern, and emperor penguin. The book is loaded with additional tips for teachers. Once again Marianne Berkes combines her teaching, writing, and theatrical skills to combine entertainment with education--creative non-fiction at its best.
Here is the ideal introduction for preschoolers and early elementary children to insects that are not only amazing but also critically important to humans. Inside-the-hive views of a wild colony of honey bees offer close-ups of the queen, the cells, even bee eggs. Simple verse will engage a young child, while sidebars with fascinating information satisfy the somewhat older child. Parents, teachers, and interested children will enjoy much more information about both wild and domestic hives in the back of the book. The detailed art shimmers with life, highlighting each hair or grain of pollen on the bees. A wild hive in a tree in her own backyard served as a model for the artist!
Elementary science teachers! Here is a low-cost field trip between covers from Tony Fredericks, a funny but very astute professor. Plus, the habitat lies under just about every rock. A whole community of insects and other creatures lives under rocks--worms and ants, spiders and slugs, crickets and beetles. Dr. Fredericks focuses on the whole community of neighbors where the ground beneath a big old rock is home to them all. Two pages of Field Notes and fun facts at the back of the book offer intriguing information on these creatures.

We use Visual Studio to develop small applications in C# (usually interface drivers).
- Till now we have been using VS2008 Professional and are now planning to buy VS2012 Professional.
- There are 2 options either to buy it with MSDN or without MSDN. The price difference is more than double.
- I am still not convinced why we should buy with MSDN.
...If it is only about MSDN library for help (Press F1 on a function and it will show you online help if MSDN is not installed)
...If it is about online forums, community, tech support etc, even then its not worth it (for us) because the application we develop are small and in past 4 years I never had a feeling where I needed such support.
???? I would like to know from you why did you buy VS2012 Pro with MSDN????

George Handy, Graydar and Rainbow 6 Carryover
The Lead: George Handy, who began his training career in 1946, found himself on familiar ground Thursday afternoon - the winner's circle at Gulfstream Park.
Handy, 89, saddled Barbara-Ann McDonnell's Secret Memory for a victory in Friday's second race, a $10,000 claiming event for fillies and mares. Despite encountering traffic problems in the stretch, Secret Memory got up under jockey Hugo Sanchez to win by a neck.
Handy, elected to the New England Turf Writers Association Hall of Fame in 2008, started his career after getting of the Navy. He trained at Lincoln Downs and Narragansett Park early in his career before spending his first winter in Florida in the early 1950s.
Handy won two races in the span of 90 minutes earlier this year at Calder.
Graydar Returns & Flirts With Track Record: Twin Creeks Racing Stables' Graydar, a 3-year-old son of Unbridled's Song trained by Todd Pletcher, cruised to victory in Thursday's fourth race, coming within one-hundredth of a second of the track record at a mile distance on the main track.
Ridden by Edgar Prado, Graydar covered the mile in 1:33.72, just missing the track record set by Commentator in 2008. Graydar took the lead from Tiz Yankee midway around the turn and cruised to a 4 1/4-length victory.
Full Field For South Beach: The eighth running of Sunday's $100,000 South Beach, to be contested over 7 1/2 furlongs on the turf, drew a field of 14 Thursday including the remarkable multiple-stakes winner Romacaca, last winter's Florida Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare Turf winner Hooh Why and the stakes placed Chokurei.
Gulfstream's nine race program drew a total of 115 entries.
Carryover: Rainbow 6 - $7,002

Lincoln Lease Clears Way for Sale of Metro Center
By Greg Bordonaro
July 30, 2012
Lincoln Financial Group's decision to renew its office lease in downtown Hartford is a victory for the city, which is able to retain a major employer. But the deal may prove to be just as big a victory for the owners of the Metro Center office tower, where Lincoln will continue to occupy 190,000 square feet of space through 2018.
The Class A office building, which is controlled by U.S. Bank National Association, was taken off the sales block last year because of the uncertainty surrounding Lincoln's future. As the office towers' largest tenant, Lincoln's decision to stay or leave the building held major implications for the property's value on the market.
"With Lincoln's renewal, the building is now stabilized which should position it for sale," said Joel Grieco, the executive director of realty brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield in Hartford.
Grieco, who represents the owners of the building, said the office tower is likely headed back on the sales block soon. And realty sources say there will be strong interest in the building and a deal could happen in a relatively short period of time.
Metro Center was formerly owned by Northland Investment Corp. before the Massachusetts-based development company lost the property to foreclosure in 2011.
The Class A office tower has been controlled by a special servicer since Northland lost the property. The building went on the sales block for a period shortly following the foreclosure, before being taken off the market while Lincoln Financial determined its future office needs.
Lincoln Financial came to downtown Hartford 14 years ago after the company bought its life insurance business from Cigna Corp. Originally, that business resided in Bloomfield, but Lincoln moved those operations to Hartford's Metro Center in 1998.
The company occupies more than 60 percent of Metro Center, whose other main tenant includes the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, which takes up about 40,000 square feet of space. Another 52,000 square feet remains vacant.
One of the key attractions of Metro Center is its attached parking garage with more than 1,200 spaces. Parking is always a significant issue for companies looking to do business downtown, particularly for employers with a larger workforce. Metro Center's attached garage gives it an advantage in the market.
It's not totally clear what the market will be like for a Class A office tower in downtown Hartford because there have been few recent sales of large office buildings. The downtown office vacancy rate also remains high, hovering near the 30 percent market.
The only recent significant deal was the sale earlier this year of the 38-story CityPlace I office tower to Commonwealth REIT, which paid $101.5 million, or about $117 a square foot. But CityPlace was nearly 100 percent leased at the time of the deal, and had major Fortune 500 tenants including UnitedHealthcare locked up in long term deals.
The owners of six buildings within Constitution Plaza, which contain 650,000 square feet of office space, put that chunk of real estate up for sale in March, but realty sources say offers haven't been attractive enough for a deal to be made, and its unlikely a sale will occur anytime soon.
The 280,000-square-foot Metro Center has an occupancy rate in the 80 percent range. When Northland bought the property in 1997 it paid $10 million. In 2006, its value had risen to $24.9 million. During its most recent revaluation, the city tagged Metro Center's market value at $12.8 million.
Pat Mulready, the senior vice president of CBRE-New England, said he has noticed more outside investors showing interest in the Hartford market, mainly because prices in core markets like Boston and New York City are getting overheated.
"Groups are interested in Hartford," Mulready said, adding that pricing levels aren't as high as they were in the mid 2000s, but closer to prices investors paid during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In terms of a deal for Metro Center, Mulready said a potential buyer will have an easier time finding financing now that Lincoln has signed a long-term lease. Higher cap rates and the low interest rate environment will make a potential purchase even more attractive, he said.
"The amount of financing available is related to length of leases," Mulready said. "Now that Lincoln has a five-year lease, that's going to make a big difference."
Meanwhile, Lincoln Financial's decision to stay downtown assures the city that its office vacancy rate won't go any higher.
In recent weeks, downtown has gotten some good news with several major lease announcements. That includes golf lifestyle startup Back9Network's decision to lease 6,500 square feet of space in Constitution Plaza, where it plans to open a new TV studio. East Hartford-based CareCentrix was granted $24 million in state incentives to move its office location to 20 Church St. in downtown Hartford, where it will occupy 40,000 square feet.
But the office vacancy rate in the city still remains high and actually experienced more negative absorption during the second quarter. CBRE-New England tagged the central business district office vacancy rate at about 30 percent at the end of the second quarter, while Cushman & Wakefield put it at 26.4 percent.
The vacancy rate is being driven higher largely because two major properties Connecticut River Plaza and the Bank of America building at 777 Main St. are completely vacant.
But that could change soon. The realty community continues to wait for the state to complete its expected acquisition of multiple downtown Hartford office towers, so it can move some state employees to downtown.
Sources familiar with the state's plans say the Department of Administrative Services is in deep negotiations to purchase Connecticut River Plaza and 55 Farmington Ave., which was recently put up for sale by the Hartford Financial Services Group. But there is no clear timetable as to if or when a final agreement will be reached.

From 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' - 'Barter'
Outsourcing gets a new twist in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a likable if market-driven ensemble comedy about a pack of cash-poor British elders who ship out for India, hoping for one last stab at self-renewal in a supposedly glam hotel.
The lonely seniors have two things in common: the usual big-screen bucket-list array of wishes for love, sex, closure and adventure — or at a minimum, retirement without total penury — and the fact that they're all played by the cream of today's British acting talent, albeit mostly operating below full steam.
Beyond that, the members of this disappointed crew, stranded in the decrepit ruins of a formerly grand mansion, fall into one of two categories you've met many a time before: Englishmen abroad (rarely a pretty sight) and affirmative life-lovers who are up for anything. (No prizes whatsoever for guessing where Maggie Smith, our reigning queen of Grumpy and Surly, lands.) Resplendent in a pungent lower-middle class twang and bags of belligerent attitude, Smith plays Muriel, a former nanny whose bitterness at having been thrown on the trash heap by her former employers has brought out the robust xenophobe in her.
She's come to a place where the aged are cherished rather than consigned to oblivion, luckily — but Muriel has come to India unwillingly, and she has no faith in the long-suffering Indian surgeons who capably replace her hip at bargain rates, or in the Untouchable domestic who shows her a kindness her own family has never done.
Matching Smith kvetch for kvetch is the great Penelope Wilton as a snooty, luxury-loving matron who, despite the enormous advantage of being married to Bill Nighy, refuses to leave the hotel for fear of contamination by the great unwashed of Jaipur.
When Smith and Wilton (who faced off deliciously in the first two seasons of Downton Abbey) are doing their testy old bird thing, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is frisky, angry, irreverent and fun. Otherwise, it's gentle, sweet, inspiring and a bit flabby, with a terrific cast reduced to beige shades of nice. (Who can watch Nighy playing a downtrodden husband without yearning for a cathartic burst of the mad aging rocker he aced in Love, Actually?)
Tom Wilkinson is reliable as ever as Graham, a retired judge who's come to India on impulse to seek out a long-lost love. And other old faithfuls include a much-married grandmother (Celia Imrie) of exceedingly high libido, and a game old gent (Ronald Pickup) trying to pretend he's still Don Juan, if indeed he ever was.
Judi Dench, a dame with an edge if ever there was one, bears up valiantly as Evelyn, a recently widowed homemaker, who, left penniless by her beloved late husband, finds herself a job in Jaipur. This being movie-India, a call center shows up on cue, only here the customer-service representatives are urgently in need of social-skills training from Evelyn, just as the boys playing cricket in the street eagerly lap up batting tips from Graham.
In return, India — chiefly represented by the eternally optimistic young hotel manager played by Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel — offers these twitchy, goal-oriented Brits light, color, terrible traffic and serene injunctions about living in the present. Old colonial habits die hard, at least in a filmic vision of India that's woefully behind the curve of a country whose lively progress on many fronts far outstrips that of its former ruler.
Adapted by Ol Parker from a popular — and, by all accounts, more tough-minded and antic — novel by Deborah Moggach, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is smoothly directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). It's a sweet-tempered folly in which all's well that ends well. Heaven knows its target audience is an underserved market, and perhaps a little wish fulfillment is in order at a time when many seniors face the dissipation of their life savings and a lot of media chat about palliative care. Me, I'm with the angry grannies.

Happy Hour
All there is to sip and savor in New Orleans
The NOWFE Wrap-Up and Colby Red
NOWFE: Farewell to 2013
Over this past weekend, during the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience, several of my "friends" came up to me, reminding me that my views on last year's event included the phrase, "the New Orleans cuisine blew the wines out of the room," and asked me for impressions of the unfolding 2013 spectacle.
After such an understated and terse analysis of 2012, what did 2013 bring? If you were there, and I hope you were, you already know. New Orleans chefs stepped it up another notch. There was no end to amazing offerings, food-wise.
The really fine news is that so did the wineries. To be sure, I heard comments from wine lovers that the alcohol side of the ledger was greatly lacking. Not certain what they were looking for, but I do know they were not looking. Can the wines being poured be better? Hell, yes. Can we expect to see them better? Probably not.
But it's not a function of NOWFE. It's not the distributors' fault that tables are not laden with Bordeaux 1st Growths, Napa treasures or having every Champagne house represented. The market as a whole no longer functions like that. Not for NOWFE, nor for any festival.
Wineries can sell all they wish of their high-end products. It's a world market. There is not enough of this juice to go around as it is. Giving it away is not necessary.
The other whammy hitting wineries right now is that back to back vintages, 2010 and 2011, were lean. Good quality but not good quantity. Just filling orders will be a big management job for the next few years. Don't expect for NOWFE, or any other wine festival except the very high-end New York Wine Experience or the Aspen Food and Wine Classic, to be the beneficiary of high-end product. Not next year, and likely not for the next few years.
All that being said, and fully appreciating that everyone wants to drink $80 bottles of wine all the time at a one-price gets-you-all deal, what the wineries have done is change the sales dynamic. There is now a huge tier of mid-priced, proprietary wines, which demonstrates the capability of the winery while using their grapes for a product that can't be duplicated by other wineries. These labels are called by a proper and unique name developed by the winery. It's all good stuff, just maybe not so familiar.
Those items were at NOWFE, and they were generously poured.
So what were the wines worthy of our attention, and available in the market, and likely relatively new to many of NOWFE attendees? Since you asked:
- Moises, anything. The Pinot Noir, in several shades from different parts of the Willamette Valley of Oregon continues to be stunning. Only available in New Orleans. And the Moises Pinot Grigio was crisp, full of sunshine fruit, and well structured. A great breakfast wine. Really.
- Mara. Charles Mara lives in New York, where he fits in very well. He makes wine in Russian River, Sonoma County, and those fit into that place very well. His Pinot Noir is a star, but the real winning wine on the table was the just-released Sauvignon Blanc, fresh and delightful.
- Clarksburg Cabernet Franc. This is from the Clarksburg area of California, more well-known as a prime Chenin Blanc growing area. This Cabernet Franc was a jewel. Round and luscious, perfectly framing the soft, red berry fruit of a much-underutilized grape varietal.
- Selby Carnival Sparkling Wine. Susie Selby of Healdsburg, Calif., Sonoma County, loves New Orleans. The fleur de lis charm on the necklace she never takes off will quickly tell you that. Her brand new sparkling wine is named for our greatest festival. She describes us as "the most festive city in the world." Carnival is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Really delicious.
- Rosenblum Rockpile Zinfandel. Okay, I'm going to toss you Big Red Wine Drinkers a good one here. Rockpile is an appellation in northern Sonoma County. Rosenblum cut its teeth on well-structured but really big zins. If it is possible for a huge zin to be elegant, and it is, this one sets the standard.
- Steven Kent Lineage. This wine sent me through the roof. Wow! A truly great Bordeaux blend from California. A truly great world-class wine. Not cheap, $140 a bottle, and not available. It's sold out. But we had it at NOWFE. OMG! And it's from Livermore, to the east of San Francisco. Not exactly the place I was looking when seeking excellent blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. I think I'm going to start checking out Livermore and Amador.
As for the restaurants, let me state, and this is not just local pride talking, no wine festival in the world, none of them, has the brilliant array of food on the tasting floor that New Orleans offers. It's a great credit to our restaurant community, and to the NOWFE Board, that we are so blessed. A few examples:
- Commander's Palace – Jamaican Jerk Pork, Island Paella, with pickled fruit and agua fresco
- Restaurant August – Banana Pudding, Peanut Butter, Marshmallow and 'Nilla Wafer Cream
- Café Adelaide – Piquillo Pepper Bloody Mary Gazpacho
- Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse – Crawfish Bisque Cappuccino
- Audubon Clubhouse Café – Seafood Stuffed Roulade with Bordelaise Angel Hair Pasta
- Martinique Bistro – Seared Lamb Loin with Cucumber-Sweet Onion Pickle
- Hyatt New Orleans – Chicory Banana and Nutella-Stuffed King Cake
Doing Good and Drinking Colby Red
Colby Groom was a very, very sick 9-year-old little boy. He underwent back-to-back surgeries to repair his ailing heart. He lived through the grueling experience but the road to recovery was a long one.
He determined as he went down that road that he wanted to do something for heart research and for charities that were funding such important work. But how was a little boy going to raise meaningful monies for such big projects?
That was more than three years ago and today, Colby, now in good health, has raised more than $350,000 for charities that support heart programs. Not bad for a guy who has not yet seen his 14th birthday, and not bad for a guy who just a few years ago had very low prospects of ever experiencing that milestone.
Colby's Dad is Daryl Groom, an extremely talented winemaker in Australia and California, who, at Colby's suggestion, blended a wine, Colby Red, comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Shiraz and Petit Verdot.
Colby is now traveling the country as a spokesperson for the American Heart Association, and has made donations to more than 100 groups all over the US involved with finding solutions to heart diseases, as well as helping families who are facing heart-health crises.
Camp Bon Coeur, a camp in Eunice, La., for children with heart issues, has been a prime recipient of donations from Colby Red.
The wines are available all over our area at Walgreen's (yes, you read that right), at a few CVS stores, and Dorignac's. It's good stuff, reasonably priced and just by purchasing the wine, you will be helping a little boy who has a big heart do important work for others in need. Thankfully.

Just nine months ago, Smoky Valley head wrestling coach Ben Elliot was watching history being made in Salina.
Just nine months ago, Smoky Valley head wrestling coach Ben Elliot was watching history being made in Salina.
Former Viking Trevor Whittaker took his place on the medal podium at the Class 4A State Wrestling Tournament at the Salina Bicentennial Center, having dominated the 170-pound weight class with a 4-0 record over the two-day tournament in late February.
It was the first time a Smoky Valley wrestler had ever won a gold medal at state in the program's then nine-year history.
"It was awesome," Elliot said of Whittaker's medal win. "It was so good to see the results of lots of years of hard work."
The Vikings, as a team, finished 12th last year at the state tournament, with a third place finish from returning senior Spencer Bird at 160 pounds. They took first in the Central Kansas League and won the Circle, Halstead and Riley County tournaments, took third at Concordia and fourth at Augusta.
All this adds up to high expectations coming into the 2013-14 season. But, then, the Vikings' head coach always sets the bar high.
"I have high expectations," Elliot said. "I don't think you change your expectations, you try to coach everyone up to meet them."
Elliot will have a good core back from last year to work with, though, overall youth will dominate the Vikings. In addition to Bird, Elliot also brings back a second state qualifier in Caleb Sare, who went to Salina in the 106 pound division. Also back are Brandon Archuleta, Austin Cook, Brix Brickey and Ethan Loder.
Bird and Loder, who was just behind his brother, Weston, last year for a varsity spot, are the only two seniors Smoky Valley will have on the mat this season. The youth of the Vikings means that Elliot will be looking to his two seniors and his juniors to provide the leadership for his team.
"It will be huge," Elliot said of the need for leadership from his upperclassmen. "We are looking for big things from our seniors and juniors, in terms of leadership, both on and off the mat."
The Vikings open their season on Dec. 5 with a double dual against Abilene and Buhler.

2 Sandal Silver Dress Women Lips Too Sacha ATwXrxAPq
How to transcribe semi automatically using dictation software
While, automatic audio transcription software is still New Cruiser KL574 Running Blue Shoe Big Grade Classic Kid Balance Beach qqTwF7R, Lips Dress Sacha Women 2 Silver Too Sandal thankfully, we've made a lot of progress.Sandal Elba Flat Women Gray Dove Soludos t1qOw6Fx
In fact, there is a neat trick that leverages current voice recognition technology to transcribe nearly any type of spoken audio recording.
As we mention The Sprinkle Katy Perry Women Multi Red Sneaker 0EqZU, current technology only supports single speakers and can easily get confused when there's background noise or interjections in the audio.Sneaker Lace Blush Women up Ibiza Linen Soludos qApUn16wp
However, it works well for audio with a single speaker, when words are spoken consistently at regular conversational pace. If we can convert our multi-speaker, noisy audio into a clear single-speaker audio input, we will be in a better place.
And that's where we use dictation:
- Load the audio/video into ASPHALT YELLOW Men Yellow BLACK Black Meteor PUMA PUMA Asphalt X8g44 and slow it down if the speaker(s) is (are) too fast.
- Connect your headphones to your computer and turn on Transcribe's dictation feature by clicking on the green "Dictate" button.
- Now, repeat what you hear in your headphones into your microphone. You are now effectively converting your source audio into a single voice (your voice) and giving it as input to the voice recognition engine which is trained to recognize a single speaker. Soludos Dusty up Sneaker Lace Linen Ibiza Rose Women TrxYw8TqF
Of course, the recognition can still be a little off, so be prepared to go over your dictation-transcription a second time to correct typos and add in punctuation and formatting.
When you first click on the "Dictate" button in Transcribe, Chrome will ask you permission to let Transcribe access your microphone. Make sure you click on "Allow":
As a bonus, the dictation engine supports several languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Russian. If you would like us to add support for another language please let us know.

Geometry Topology Working Seminar
Friday, February 22, 2013 - 11:30am
1.5 hours (actually 80 minutes)
Skiles 006
In this series of talks I will begin by discussing the idea of studying smooth manifolds and their submanifolds using the symplectic (and contact) geometry of their cotangent bundles. I will then discuss Legendrian contact homology, a powerful invariant of Legendrian submanifolds of contact manifolds. After discussing the theory of contact homology, examples and useful computational techniques, I will combine this with the conormal discussion to define Knot Contact Homology and discuss its many wonders properties and conjectures concerning its connection to other invariants of knots in S^3.

Smithsonian Channel Announes One Hour World Trade Center Special CROWNING NEW YORK
Smithsonian Channel is in production on a one-hour special that reveals one of modern day's most daring engineering feats: the installation of a 408-foot spire atop One World Trade Center. CROWNING NEW YORK will air later this year to coincide with the official ceremony that will mark the lighting of the beacon atop the historic skyscraper.Moving such a heavy and complex object to such great height has never before been attempted, and the completion of The Job provides jaw-dropping footage. More than a decade after the 9/11 attacks, this is a truly monumental moment. It sets the stage for an iconic skyline reborn, with a beacon that will truly "crown" New York City. At 1,776 feet, One World Trade Center is now the tallest building in the U.S. and third tallest in the world. To Capture the construction worker's remarkable work in placing the 40-story 758-ton spire on top of a building that was already 104 stories high, Smithsonian Channel's production partner, New York City-based Pipeline 39 Entertainment, was given unparalleled access to the WTC site and its iron workers. They used a helicopter to film the installation of the spire, as well as helmet cams and GoPro cameras. In the coming weeks, a beacon at the pinnacle of the spire will be switched on, and its 288,000 lumens of light will be visible from 50 miles away. It has been described as a beacon of hope comparable to the Statue of Liberty. Smithsonian Channel and Pipeline 39 Entertainment were given exclusive access to the beacon testing site and to the inner light mechanisms of the beacon. CROWNING NEW YORK also will feature never-before-aired footage of the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as definitive interviews with architect Daniel Libeskind and officials including former Governor George Pataki and former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. CROWNING NEW YORK is produced by Pipeline 39 Entertainment, Executive Producers Vincent Kralyevich and Paul McGuire. Executive Producers for Smithsonian Channel are David Royle and Charles Poe. ABOUT SMITHSONIAN CHANNEL Smithsonian Channel is owned by Smithsonian Networks, a joint venture between Showtime Networks Inc. and the Smithsonian Institution.

Backstreet Boys Talk To WSJ's Lee Hawkins
Three members of the Backstreet Boys, who became known as the world's most beloved "Boy Band" in the 1990s, talk to WSJ's Lee Hawkins about their rise to stardom, their new album and U.S. tour, and the challenges they faced along the way – including their lawsuit against disgraced record executive Louis Pearlman.

I mean ... obviously over the last twenty years ... we may not retain things as does he do that but it's a chance ... really I'm actually a lyric or to ensure harmony but ... you know ... it's embedded in us so once we start doing the moves and don't forget to motions it all comes back to slight ... were gone back on this chore ... to some ... DS who said we haven't done in fifteen years ... and ... thank God for that social media aspect because they got for you to ... write you watch videos of all of all our old stomping on that that was the right ... so the police were unsure was meant to me is his proteges in ... his eye ... into going to work out ... facility and they were doing exercises push ups sit ups in everything and seeing at the same time ...

I mean how did these young people on ... for instance I continue of bottles and Justin Bieber when they meet u they they must know right ... here we saw the US and in the behind ... the bag as generic music or do they ever ask for Europe writes ... like he was on his way on stage ... so we use the review and performed we have just presented ... what what it tries to get there ... knowing what you know now about ... these is you guys are there some highs and low I mean ... first and foremost ... nation you're having fun ... many are really and truly enjoy what you're doing because that's the most part they are not out if I'm ... just get out now ... sometimes it is not enjoy and ... stop building pictures took the wraps taking ... a stand but not it's not that ... this friend ... it's a marathon ... yet mean one long career ... it's a marathon and it's in you have the patience ... and just ... interstate your own lane and just ... surround yourself with positive people that support you indulges an SUV that ... he and his men are not doing anything about respect or anything about the industry beaches ... you know people are less I know in ... your head you wanna join a nice new life is not like to get it and it's you know I know I gotta learn the lesson ... I have to ask because you guys really have ... to have brilliant toward Oahu Pearlman ... the guy who started or groupies in prison now he pleaded guilty to conspiracy and money laundering among other things he ... related to a Ponzi scheme mother left three hundred million dollars in debt ... part of his sentence ... require restitution ... does he get a portion of your songwriting royalties because if he does he's definitely making the payments right I know you don't have enough ... capital and so when the whole thing went down with you grew ... you would think that every member would of had ... their own lawyer their own account and everyone would be sitting down at the table ... every quarter slicing up the hive why didn't that happen were younger what was it ... well ... the word died when the leaders fall I initially ... filed ... what's gone and open ... last ... an open ended last ... because I can do about myself ... you know I knew things were wrong ... I was disappointed ... um ... no wonder working yesterday we were put in to ... the show after show after show ... newscasts and in his office ... he's in textiles like ... something's wrong ... so I went to the guys ... you know it cause some controversy ... it was he was a ... cannibal of the type thing when twenty doing ... you a break of the band ... we can do this right now we're on top of the world ... and we teamed up to ... then we all knew things were right I mean obviously ... you know ... where ... our bank accounts are nothing in and then ... managers and specially him his bank accounts call and let ... others do so at the time that you weren't getting what ... you do absolutely ... the problem that we listen we're okay I we can stop ... the momentum is we're just starting to break in the United States is leading to stop the movement in our dreams are coming true ... to possibly be held up and walk or is he is ... threatening filing a cease and desist because he ... had ownership ... in the in ... the one that we review our Tory will ... shut down all of that only the artwork for a while when we know rounds ... so we were struggling with it do we stop ... the momentum to ... battling for ... and so we ended up ... working all out ... we sat on the court ... and yet everything we needed ... to ... Justin Timberlake ... this guy he really broke out as a solo artist ... um if you ever sit back and think you know anyone of us could've done that or is it that he was this a special that he ... was the rebel so far so I feel like I knew I'd I think that was his honest to God yes ... I really do I think ... being part of ... the group ... was a great stepping stone for him but I think ... somewhere in the cards ... he was destined to be on his own and to ... have as much success they had because he honestly deserves an ... amazing artist ... um ... I think with with us in any of us would've had equal or comparable ... success just like am I don't think I still think we still be doing this well ... right I think that's just the kind of bought it we seem to everybody gets along ... with all gone out there and coming out of the way I mean obviously not unless it had that type of soul a success ... but we have had success ... as solo artists here there ... alloy day this is what's most important scholars say Baxter was larger ... than the sum of the parts ... yet because all of us together ... are ... obviously margin ... I hate to ... you know ... unlike other than that I never ... thought that I would see the day with groups like the Backstreet boys ... were like considers an old he said write to Yun Hee I think what but I think it's different ... it's different it's not like you guys are like chubby checker a freaky belly how we look at me and my kids today what ... you would think the ... he's got a cool red and in the know your music you that ... doesn't change how I how I ... how career cycle and you ride the wave of unknown you don't you just keep churning didn't use the good work ... hopefully people appreciate it and it seems like now ... know with the way things are happening and we were just ... and yet ... mommy said I mean ... so so so and that the fight is Mark's everybody son of well funded with no where it once yesterday ... and these young kids these these dunes ... near five fifteen sixteen years old ... and on ... the twenty oh ... he doesn't but she was arching fine ... yet well you know when election was the site ...

The search has started for the nations favourite walk and a number of celebrities have already made their selections.
As part of the National Trust's nationwide Festival of Walking, eight celebrity supporters have nominated their favourite routes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Welsh celebrity weather presenter Sian Lloyd has nominated Powis Castle the National trust property as the place in Wales where she loves to go for a walk.
Hoping to inspire everyone whatever their age or ability to get out and explore the amazing outdoor places cared for by the National Trust, the celebrities' walks cover more than 30 miles and range from Adam Hart-Davis' invigorating walk along the Devonshire coastline, Paul Rose's route through the spectacular scenery of the Lake District to some lesser known walks in the gardens and parks cared for by the National Trust.
Avid explorer and presenter, Paul Rose said: "Walking is just so amazingly simple. You need no special equipment, no special training, no special clothes, you just close your front door and go for a walk. It's very easy, just go out and explore.
"Windermere is so accessible, you can just walk a few minutes out of town and yet it has a great sense of true wilderness. It's a beautiful working environment. This is my local connection to nature right here."
In contrast to the dramatic hills and lakes of Windermere, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox chose Capability Brown's sweeping parkland, Croome Park in Worcestershire.
Toyah said: "Croome Park is just absolutely stunning.
"Worcestershire has beautiful rambling landscapes, gentle rolling hills, it's agricultural land so it's ever-changing and it has a very natural old-world feel about it.
"Croome is really cleverly designed. You look out across these rolling gentle hills and you see wonderful monuments, follies and statues and the lake in particular is really lovely. You truly feel you own the whole park while you walk around it."
Nominated walks
- Powis Castle, Wales – Sian Lloyd, weather presenter
- Croome Park, Worcestershire-Toyah Wilcox, singer, songwriter and actress
- Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire- Francis Pryor, archaeologist
- Noss Mayo, Devon- Adam Hart-Davis, broadcaster
- Mount Stewart, Northern Ireland- Zoe Salmon, TV presenter
- Low Newton, Northumberland- Val McDermid, crime writer
- Lake Windermere, Cumbria- Paul Rose, Vice President of the Royal Geographical Society
- Ham House and Gardens – Omid Djalili, Comedian
The National Trust's nationwide Festival of Walking aims to help people discover more ways to have fun outdoors and get back in touch with nature.
From 22 to 30 October 2011, more than 1,000 events, including barefoot walks, silly walks and themed walks for all ages will be taking place at National Trust places across the country.
There are wildlife walks, heritage walks and more than 800 walking routes available to download from the National Trust website.
To find out more about walking with the National Trust, new walking trails or any of the Festival of Walking events, go to www.nationaltrust.org.uk/walkingfestival
Everyone who nominates their own favourite walk will be entered into a prize draw to win National Trust walking boots.

Could also do a bunch of interviews into the Chats forum at leisure and then pick one or two at random to include in the newsletters if you're looking for content, though that also means players that read that forum might just see the same interview in the newsletter.
