CD/LP/Track Review
Aaron Bennett: Luggage (2002)
With this recording of mostly solo soprano sax improvisations, Aaron Bennett invites the obvious comparisons to Steve Lacy. Both players possess a breathtaking command of the instrument, and both keep an ear open to freer sounds. Bennett, however, generally has a thicker tone and utilizes more of an open approach on Luggage. Where Lacy might doggedly pursue theme and variation, Bennett stretches the concept of variation to its furthest extreme. He explores vast alterations in tonal color; at the same time he modulates tempos from lazy to frenzied. The end of the first improvisation, for example, utilizes circular breathing to hold a single note for about a minute. But it's not a static entity like Kenny G's famous 45 minute long drone: it's a pulsing, threading, breathing creation.
Of particular note on Luggage are the two non-solo pieces, which include a five-minute duet with vocalist Kattt "Three-T" Sammon. On this improvisation, the two engage in a bit of call-and-response before settling into more abstract tonal interplay. By demonstrating his sensitivity to another voice, Bennett hints at his potential in more expanded improvisational settings. The final piece features a rather bizarre group improvisation, with the audience playing whistles and rattles while Bennett craftily toots and whirls his way around them. Unfortunately, due to miking effects, the saxophone tends to drown out all but the most persistent kazoos and shakers. But you still get the general idea. As one might expect, it's a bit scatteredbut also somehow authentic in a primitive, tribal sense. No wonder (and also too in a greater way) that Bennett dedicates Luggage to Leo Smith.
Track Listing: 1; 2; 3 (duet); 4; 5; 6 (concerto for soprano sax and audience).
Personnel: Aaron Bennett: soprano saxophone; Kattt Sammon: voice (2); audience: toy instruments (6).
Record Label: ADB Sound

Home explosion now a homicide investigation
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Authorities launched a homicide investigation Monday into the house explosion that killed two people and left numerous homes uninhabitable in an Indianapolis neighborhood.
Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons made the announcement after meeting with residents affected by the Nov. 10 blast and just hours after a funeral for the husband and wife who were killed. The couple lived next door to the house where investigators believe the explosion occurred.
"We are turning this into a criminal homicide investigation," Coons said, marking the first time investigators have acknowledged a possible criminal element to the case.

I haven't seen any that are too spectacular...they just find little annoying things to do
I was just in a random match, and no lie the whole game all he used was Hypnosis and Circle throw (or whatever it is that switches your pokemon)
This is retarded, because when you take out a pokemon that is asleep the timer resets
So basically, the whole match I couldn't do anything...and when I did get a chance to actually do some damage, he got a SUPER SKILLFUL freeze on me with Ice Beam...then that LASTED ATLEAST 6 TURNS
At that point I just turned my DSi off.

No matter what love throws at you, you always have to believe in it. That's why I write these songs. Because I believe that love is FEARLESS.
It's only natural for living creatures to fight to protect their own lives. But what makes us human is that we fight for others. But who do you fight for? How hard must you fight...? That's the true measure of what human life is worth. We defense attorneys are warriors who are constantly challenged by that question. Even when the battle is over, and the bonds that connect us are severed... We always return... Time and time again.

Months after winning $1M in lottery, man wins $2M
Category: National Written by Associated Press
ST. LOUIS (AP)—The odds of winning $1 million in a lottery are astronomical, but one Missouri man has beaten them—twice.
Fifty-seven-year-old Ernest Pullen of Bonne Terre won $1 million with a "100 Million Dollar Blockbuster" Scratchers ticket in June. This month, he won another $2 million with a "Mega MONOPOLY" Scratchers ticket.
Pullen says he considers himself a "lucky guy."
He's opted to take the cash payment instead of the annuity for both wins so he received $700,000 for the first one and about $1.3 million for the second. That's before taxes.
Pullen says he'll use the money to fix up his new house.

Ohio man faces hate crimes charge in church arson
Category: National Written by Associated Press
CLEVELAND (AP)—An Ohio man has been indicted on a federal hate crimes charge in what authorities say was a racially motivated arson at a church with a mostly Black congregation.
The two-count indictment against Ronald Pudder, 23, of Conneaut in northeast Ohio, was detailed at a news conference Sept. 22 with the nation's top civil rights attorney, Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
He said the government was determined to deter a rash of copycat crimes.
"Hate crimes reflect a cancer of the soul," Perez said.

September 24
1957—President Dwight Eisenhower orders federal troops into Little Rock, Ark., to prevent angry Whites from interfering with the integration of the city's Central High School by nine Black students. The confrontation was one of the most dramatic during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement. Governor Orval Faubus had vowed to go to jail to block the court ordered desegregation of the school claiming that Whites would be destroyed if they integrated with Blacks. But the confrontation settled the issue of whether states had to obey orders issued by federal courts.

Lawsuit claims Bishop Long coerced males into sex
Category: National Written by Associated Press
by Errin Haines
ATLANTA (AP)--Two men have filed a lawsuit accusing Bishop Eddie Long of exploiting his role as pastor of an Atlanta-area megachurch to coerce them into sexual relationships when they were young members of his congregation.
In this Jan. 18 2007 file photo, Bishop Eddie Long, of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, in Lithonia, Ga., gestures during an interview in Lithonia.
Lawyers for the men, now 20 and 21, say they filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in DeKalb County Court. The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they were victims of sexual impropriety.
Craig Gillen, Long's attorney, said Tuesday the pastor "categorically denies the allegations."

Johan Franzen scores from center ice on Miika Kiprusoff
The Detroit Red Wings are in danger of missing the NHL Playoffs for the first time since the 1989-1990 season. Losing 3-1 to the Calgary Flames, the Red Wings were in need of a break and with 2:42 left in the third period they got one. Johan Franzen dumped a weak backhand shot in from center ice and it skipped just far enough in front of Flames goalie Miika Kiprusoff that he...

Rather than dismissing yet another "wine lifestyle network" - think Snooth, Adegga and another launching soon idea, DrinkPrice - lets see what they say there "absurdly ambitious project" will be offering:
"Some specifics: hundreds of winery websites worldwide, global Wine Dining Guide & Events Calendar, Magazine & Blogs, MyHaidu (a sort of a social network, though the Haidu folks don't like to define it like that) and websites of key players of the wine trade, from event organizers, through wine schools and universities, traders & merchants, wine tourism agencies - the list just doesn't end...Haidu offers wine lovers around the world relevant, practical information to discover and plan their next wine experience, to expand their wine horizons.
Let's say you think about traveling to Mosel Valley for your vacance. You simply type Mosel Valley in Haidu.net search window (in its clean & elegant homepage) and before your eyes unveils a list of the valley's wineries, 'wine-friendly' restaurants, wine-related events, magazine articles & blog posts about Mosel. You can quickly tag the entities to your liking with vacance 2011 and they are automatically saved to a specified folder in your MyHaidu universe"
Easy to deduce then that Haidu will be offering a heck of a lot more than a wine tasting database. All the Haidu information is drawn from the "players themselves"
"The wineries manage their own websites, the event organizers publish their own events, even the restaurants create their own sites around Haidu's review of them. All this guarantees clean, reliable information, without any middleman distortion"
The social aspects haven't been ignored as you will be able to share, highlight, follow and receive updates from each section. There is of course going to be a Haidu iPhone App.
Just a few days then before we can all explore and engage further...
Desiderio Jeio, rounded, appley, peachy, flowery-fragrant it might be but it is not actually 100% Prosecco! No, I hear you cry! Yes, says I. Along with 90% Prosecco there is 6% Pinot Bianco and 4% Verdiso. Its fresh, light and with bubbles aplenty. Lively and with a dash of sweetness to give a lovely rounded mouth feel and crowd-pleasing drinkability. Great for cocktails in addition to being a canapé accompaniment. Alcohol 11.5%. [Adegga / Snooth]
The Crede, the work-horse Prosecco, is also a blend. Here extra Pinot Bianco (10%) and 5% Verdiso lend a more stylish edge to the wine. Still with that trademark peachy-flowery nose and apply flavours coupled with the vibrant fizz. Alcohol 11.5%. This is the wine for making those quintessential peach Bellinis although its lovely straight with or without food. Alcohol 11.5%. Vintage 2009. [Adegga / Snooth]
The Cartizze hill, the highly expensive slopes of which produce the crème of the Prosecco producers range, supplies the grapes for Bisol's Cartizze botteling (unsurprisingly). This is 100% Prosecco and the sweetest of the three. (25g per litre for the technical minded compared with 9g in the Jeio and 10g in the Crede). You have to be a little judicious when pairing with food - while it has a modicum of sweetness it isn't enough to accommodate really sweet desserts - think lighter fruit-based fare or simple biscuits. The limited production from the Cartizze hill is responsible for the high bottle price but this has to be my favourite Prosecco of the three. This is the 2009 vintage. Alcohol 11.5% [Adegga / Snooth
But this is exactly what Hix and Buck are recommending to accompany a dish of Baked Apple with Melted Goats Cheese, Potato Galette with Walnut Balsamic Dressing; the wine being their its Mas d'Intras Cuvée d'Alphonse 2007 Vin de Pays des Coteaux de l'Ardèche.
The dish was created by Sebastien Gagnbe Head Chef of Perfect Blend the "south London café, bar and restaurant". Hix and co had sent over a bottle so a try-out was in order.
The dish (recipe below) was fine, despite my disaster with getting the 'petals' of the galette to stick together (how do you do that??), resulted in a tasty, if light dinner. (More suited to a starter or lunch dish perhaps). But paired with the wine? And the wine itself, basking in Southern French rusticity was firm, strong and flavoursome in a red fruits and spice manner. But really, matching with sweetened apples and a salad? Not for me I'm afraid. My thoughts move to wild boar sausages or barbequed lamb burgers.
Alcohol 13.5%.
Hix & Buck is an importer of wine. Its aim is to bring good quality wines to the UK from undiscovered vineyards in Europe. In the spirit of discovery, the company's ambition is to surprise and delight the wine lover with unknown wines whilst offering them great value.
The wines are brought to the UK exclusively by Hix & Buck. The founders, Chix Chandaria and Dan Roebuck, are passionate about finding small producers, often with a family history of viniculture going back centuries, and bringing that wine, with its authentic qualities and characteristics, over here.

Do you want to drink good wine, but don't know what to buy? Do you know what you like, but want to explore new horizons?
"The Wine Opus (published by DK, October 2010) harnesses the talent and opinions of a new generation of young wine writers to help you choose the best wines. Over 30 specialists have selected the 4,000 best wineries in the world and their trophy wines. Read their recommendations, from the Rhône to Rioja, from Napa to New Zealand, and from the Mosel to Mendoza in Argentina, and you will never buy bad wine again.The Wine Opus is the most ambitious illustrated wine reference to be written in the last 20 years. It is contemporary, covering the emerging wine regions and rising star wineries as well as well-established wine countries and their producers. It is comprehensive, giving insightful overviews of every significant wine region in the world. It is accessible, with its 100-word profiles of the 4,000 recommended wineries and their wine styles. And it is elegant, with its contemporary page design, 45 colourful maps of wine regions to tour, and stunning photography of winery landscapes.
Many of the writers featured in The Wine Opus are young, with a taste for adventure that drives them to discover new wine-makers - and reject those whose standards have slipped. They are wine bloggers, book authors, newspaper and magazine journalists; others are television broadcasters, Masters of Wine, and a few are winemakers themselves. Each writer has an intimate knowledge on his or her region and has recently tasted all the wines they recommend.
Their criteria for including a winery in the book were:
Top Winery
• Makes wine of very high or outstanding quality
• Has a long track record for quality relative to its region
• Makes well-known collectible or special occasion wines
• Is a leader in its region in grape-growing and/or winemaking techniques
• Performs particularly well in a special wine categoryRising Star Winery
• Makes wine of very high or outstanding quality
• Shows potential to be tomorrow's classic winery
• Has been innovative in choice of variety, grape-growing and/or winemaking techniques
• May have a great price/quality ratioIf you enjoy drinking good wine, The Wine Opus gives you the names you need to know and introduces you to the new world of wine."
The Wine Opus is published by DK on 1st October 2010 price: £50 although Amazon are currently listing the The Wine Opus at a pre-order price of £37.50.
And, before I upset anyone even more, the bellini is made from Bisol Prosecco and fresh peaches...
The lagoon surrounded city offers a host of eateries - more informal restaurants than Danieli's many offering damn decent Cichetti, the Italian equivalent of Spanish Tapas.
You could join the tourist throngs with their picture menus if you like, but that's not for me. I'd prefer a little local action even if this means an embarrassing struggle with the lingo, pointing and manic 'tourist abroad' smiling at the unusual shell-encased dishes behind the counter-glass or eccentric wine bottles on the shelves behind.
Local is good. More so when you realise that most of the other patrons are locals too.
I hear more than one visitor has suffered extreme disorientation trying to locate some of these little gems (or was it just the hotel, Douglas? excellent write-up though). A decent map or a guide might be useful - those Iphone-possessors should utilise a superb little English language app that I played with while in Venice (TapVenice).
From the S. Lucia railway station and Scalzi Church cross over the Grand Canal via the Scalzi Bridge, wander down to the left passing the church of S. Simeon Piccoto, turn left at the little bridge and walk down to Fondamenta Minotto and you are there! Yeh, you need a map! Ristorante Ribot (Santa Croce 158, Fondamenta Minotto, Rio del Gaffaro, 30124 Venice) has an attractive wine shop attached, a magnet in itself, but the relaxing, covered rose garden at the back is well worth trying to get a table in. If you know the right nod and can wink meaningfully you might be lucky in being given access to a 'secret wine list' - this includes a whole raft of older vintages of Sassicia for example and other very limited gems.
No producers obviously - the wines were picked from a chalked list on the side wall - but a nicely perfumed Gewurztraminer and a glass of Tocai Friulano were procured at Bacaro da Fiore. The latter wine all fruity-minerality and the better match to the freshest plate of prawns I've enjoyed since Madrid and to a fine plate of fried courgette flowers. At a corner table a huge bowl of tiny welk-like shellfish was devoured by two youngsters; they do a lot of odd shellfish do the Venetians apparently.
Bacaro de Fiore - described as a half-taven, half-bar - specialises in just the wines of the Triveneto (that's the land immediately behind Venice covering the Alto-Adige, Trentino, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia and the Veneto itself). It's a tiny place down the narrow Calle de Le Botteghe, right opposite our hotel the Locanda Art Deco (and I do loves me a bit of Art Deco! and with rooms like these would you want to stay anywhere else?). I would have been happy to stay at Fiore all evening, sampling the rest of the wine list and those tempting cichetti... but no, onward...
More local, city-rustic character can be found in Trattoria Ca'D'Oro "Alla Vedova" (Cannaregi 3912). A few steps from the water taxi stop of Ca D'Doro. A great atmosphere, lovely, value-packed cicheto, a little warren of rooms packed full of food and wine related artefacts hanging from the ceiling and covering the shelves. The food and wine are the stars here the place being famous for their polpetti (meatballs). Perhaps here would be a good place to spend the evening...
A little challenge was set for me - given £30 of vouchers which Morrison wines would I buy?
It being summer and all the choice would be light, refreshing, easy drinking reds, decent crisp whites and obviously a rosé or two. This selection is of untried wines; I've no idea if they are good value for money, good drinking or otherwise.
Having had problems in trying to access the wine list on the Morrison's website ("Sorry the page you have requested does not seem to be available" - on ALL the wines pages??) I'm selecting these off a word document so pricing is a touch vague... but one soldiers on in the face of such adversity...
Firstly a red, something light that could be chilled? Possibly, with the Orsola Valpolicella (£3.98), but I'd rather sample a New Zealand Pinot Noir - so how about the Ara Pathway Pinot Noir? It comes in under a tenner...
No problems over here of being seen drinking a rosé. Slightly particular in which mind; it has to be dry for a start and while I'm not so fussy on where it comes from I been discovering some fine examples from Spain of late. So how about the Los Vividores Rosé with its "Vibrant colour, lots of lively aromas of tomato and asparagus" or the Penrosa Rosé from Castilla Leon "Strawberry pink wine with an aroma of ripe, soft, red & black fruit. Soft & full in the mouth". Perhaps the £30 budget limit could accommodate both?
And a white... a Sauvignon Blanc beckons and while the both the Seifried (£8.99) and the Sacred Hill (£6.98) Sauvingons are mightily attractive and having already picked a wine from New Zealand it could mean the Spier Sauvignon from South Africa would be plonked into the virtual basket.
Another choice of white could be the slightly odd-ball Repertoire White "The Gros Manseng grape gives tangy, apricot & peach flavours with a gloriously refreshing citrussy finish" or the Rully Blanc "Gorgeous pineapple & tropical fruit aromas lead in to opulent buttery flavours with a lemony finish". No producer mentioned though.
But after mulling and playing with the calculator the £30 is spent on the following:
Which comes in at a smidge over £30 but as Morrison's also run an offer in which, when you buy four bottles you will get 10% off, the final bill comes in at £27.87.
Each year the Bisol clan treats the locals to a little food and wine fair - Gustovino. A seemingly never ending pour from the full Bisol wine range (several not available in the UK) available to enjoy between the vineyards and an opportunity for me to, yet again, clamper ungracefully onto a horse.
Actually getting on was easier, the widespread titters and my flushed face emphasising the undignified disembarkation. Bloody gravity. Bloody stirrups. One numb bum and a hot trot through the vines gives one a thirst that only Prosecco can quench.
The last visit included a stay in the Bisol guest house. Reading back the posts from those early blogging days are rather embarrassing in the way they are incredibly brief and not really enthusing or explaining (or offering enough photographs) on how relaxing the guest house (Relais Duca di Dolle) is, how easily reachable from Venice, and how the region offers a host of excellent eateries - Gigettos for example or in Rolle, a pleasant winding walk from the guest house, is Andretta with its wonderful open terrace with views down the valley and Il Monestero, a more rustic experience with a chef who makes up a menu each day depending on his whim and the seasonal availability of produce.
This wine grid is split horizontally by price brand and vertically by colour and style. A £9-£12 sophisticated red? That'll be the Dominio Kasierpe Flor de Lasierpe Reserva 2000 from Navarra in Spain (£9.99). A £7-£9 filthy rich white? For you sir, that'll be the Last Stand Unoaked Chardonnay, 2008, from South Australia at £5.99. Click the small circle and up pops a larger display with wine details and price. Small tabs also link to 'customer reviews' and offer details. Runs beautifully smoothly on my Windows 7 system; but how would those on older machines with lesser graphic cards or those without flash fare I wonder?
The six price bands and eight style categories does limit the company to selling just 48 wines at a time. Since my first look however a new column has been added - 'Phenomenal Favourites' boosting the range to 54. This column add-on ruins the effect somewhat though in that you don't know if they are red/white/rosé or fizz. Limiting the range offered does allow a constantly changing range, small parcels and so on.
Despite the limitations I love the ease and graphical-ness of this page. This innovative approach doesn't extend to the fine wine section or the special offers page though - back to a 'traditional' list and drop down menu selections sadly. The fine wine section currently offers a good selection of Australian reds in the £30+ range (including a spread of older vintages of the D'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz) and various clarets from the 1980's.
"Everybody should enjoy drinking wine. Instead of worrying about countries or grapes you just have to choose which style of wine you want to drink and how much you want to spend. Then trust us to provide brilliant, delicious and interesting wines you may never have considered before."
There is a blog attached to the site - but MH you need an RSS feed my friend! Interestingly the latest post pays homage to the other innovative online wine merchant Naked Wines.
"A lot of people ask me where the idea for Find Wine came from. The answer, rather boringly, is that I don't really know. It came out a lot of conversation between me, John and plenty of other people, the most influential of which was Mike Awin from ABS Wine Agencies, who has always been a great believer in what we are trying to do with Find Wine.However throughout all of our planning there was one case study that we kept coming back to as the best online wine merchant and that was Naked Wines....
Naked are most certainly doing a fantastic job of shaking up the wine trade and I will certainly be keeping an eye their success as it grows and grows. And trying to work out how I can even begin to compete!"
While the wine should be centre stage for any retailer it is often the little touches that attract to a website, nudge the bunches of grapes in the logo for example and refreshing to see Fine Wine acknowledging the competition via a blog, Innovation hasn't yet reached a conclusion - video clips are promised. There is room for more than one Naked Wines, Find Wine is off to a great beginning.
A sample of this new South African brandy came my way last week accompanied by a little cocktail recipe. Not expecting much I gave the cocktail a try out - wow! Combined with the glorious summer we are experiencing in the UK this can only be described as a thirst-quenching wonder. Some may say this is even more drinkable than the ubiquitous summer Pimms!
African Mishale is from the KWV operation in the Western Cape. Would your life be improved if you were enlightened that it is blended from double distilled pot still and column still brandies? Probably not. More interesting is the specific that the cocktail recipe, African Spice, was created by London Barman Gerry Calabrese of the Hoxton Pony, EC2.
Its highly drinkable, as the now empty bottle of Mishale indicates, and we did have to substitute the suggested Vanilla Sugar/Vanilla Syrup with plain old sugar syrup but this worked a treat.
African Mishale Brandy is available from the re-emerged Wine Racks 17-store chain. Normally retailing for £13.49 it is currently on offer until the 18th July 2010 at £9.49.
"Named after the word 'spear' in Swahili, Mishale is pronounced mi-sha-lay. Bright and golden it's a proud blend of brave African spirit and the fine tradition of brandy distilling."
African Spice Cocktail
Shake with ice and strain into an ice filled highball glass. Top up with a dash of Ginger Beer. Delicious.
The dorona vineyard is spread out from the restaurant to just beyond the abandoned chapel with tower. The strip of land running from the central pond to the lefter-most corner of Mazzorbo island, with the bridge to Burano, are now bursting with vegetables used by the islanders and of course the restaurant. Towards the jetty on he left are fruit trees used for the same purpose.
A gentle stroll from the hotel, through the vineyard, over the connecting bridge takes you to the island of Burano. Here the tight streets buzz during the day with tourists, but is so attractive and colourful (photos on Spittoon Extra) that it is well worth a wander.
On a hot summer's day there's nothing better than a refreshing beer to cool us down. But do you often find a trip down the pub with your friends leaves you sticking to the same tipple, purely because you have no idea what the difference is between an ale and a larger and don't want to risk a bad pint? Or maybe you dismiss it based on the myths around it being bad for your health? When in fact, when drunk in moderation there are several health benefits.If so you might be one of the millions of Brits missing out on the truly phenomenal range of beers now on the market. So how do you open your mind and palate to what else is on offer?
Just like wine varieties, there's a staggering array of beer to match anyone's taste. And what about finding the perfect beer to match the perfect meal?
Well, if you want some help in your quest to find the perfect summer ale then log onto our live WebTV Show where beer expert Kamini Dickie and Dr George Philliskirk from the Beer Academy will let you into the secrets of the perfect pint with a live beer tasting class.
Kamini Dickie and Dr George Philliskirk are live online at http://studiotalk.tv/show/beer_appreciation_masterclass on Monday 21st June at 3pm to give you their top tips for finding the perfect beer.
Odd shaped 50cl bottles held what was described as Bisol's first grape squeeze from its resurrected Dorona vineyards, it turned out not to be so. I lent back into a more comfortable posture.
The wine was made from the vanishing Dorona variety but not by Bisol and not from the vineyard spread out in before us. And there was me thinking those few rows of vines were the last remaining plantings of this variety in the world. Bisol initiated the project in 2002 finally replanting the estate with this 15th century variety. (The best over-view image I could find online is this one, tiny but you can just make out the hotel/restaurant complex bottom right, the vineyard with chapel tower bottom centre and the island of Burano behind.)
High walls surround the Scarpa Volo vineyard, an attempt to keep the surrounding lagoon at bay, with Bisol giving over half the land to soft fruit trees, vegetable plots and seating areas. It dominates one end of the island of Mazzorbo. Escape the tourist throngs on Burano with a short walk over the bridge to the vineyard and settle yourself into the restaurant for a long lazy lunch. Ristorante Venissa, is run by famed Italian chef Paola Budel. (Not being up on famed Italian chefs Paola was trained by Michel Roux amongst others).
Did my Englishness display result in such a miniscule sample being dropped into my glass and a subsequent mess of our table not having the correct number of glasses? Pettiness is not a trait I like to honour but still it got a bit annoying...
The meal - pictures of which I'll post over on SpittoonExtra - was very fine, with the dessert 'Crostatina con crema Chantilly e ciliegine' perhaps my favourite dish despite being served with a "strawberry skid-mark" and being a touch too sweet to match with the superb Bisol Cartizze Prosecco.
But the La Dorona was what the fuss was all about; frankly it was a little disappointing. Remember though that this is not from Bisol or the Scarpa Volo vineyard so it will be interesting to see how skilfully they can extract something of interest from their young vines next year.
This sample came in at just 11% alcohol, slightly lacking in acidity but with a decent minerality and weight. Enjoyable, indeed I even leant forward in anticipation (especially under the smiling glare of the PR woman) for my initial sniff and sip. As the forthcoming releases of Bisol's Doroma are unlikely to be cheap and offered by allocation only that might have been my first and last taste of Doroma.
Perhaps the saltiness of the cheese was the main culprit or the raw red onion clashed with the slight tart finish to the wine. Or more likely I just wasn't paying attention; the summer sun and those sultry days of a few weeks back (remember them?) can do that.
Now Rkatsiteli as a grape I am familiar with (much planted in Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and of course the Ukraine) but Mtsvane? According to the Georgian Wine Society, who supplied this wine, Mtsvane means "new, young, green" (referring to the unusual colour of the fruit when ripe), is often blended with Rkatsiteli adding a fruity, aromatic balance. Here the Mtsvane dominates, comprising 85% of the blend. (Either way its another addition to the Wine Century Club list of tasted varieties)
The wines of Alsace are a particular speciality of mine, they are oft mentioned as the perfect accompniment to the mix of spicy, salty, sweet and sour flavours found in Asian dishes. Beer is the first on the list of drinks people reach for - especially those Friday night curry nights with the lads. If people do think of buying a wine to drink with it, the idea that a wine can compliment a spice seems rather odd, but far from it. In fact the right grape variety can add to a home delivered (or home cooked!) Asian meal.
TV chef Ching He Huang and leading wine journalist and food and wine matching expert Joanna Simon are linking up for a live webchat, where they'll be offering guidance on which wines bring out the best in each Asian dish; from the fruity, floral tastes of the more elegant Alsace wines such as Riesling through to luscious or spicy whites like Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer.
Ching He Huang and Joanna Simon will be on StudioTalk on Friday 18th June at 13.00 to demonstrate how Alsace wines can compliment Asian food. You can post a question in advance via the same link.

1.) Totally awesome language that is a combination of german and hebrew. Has contributed words such as: "bagel," "nudnik," "mishmash" "schmuck" to our everyday vocabulary.
2) the perfect language to insult people, paticuarly goyem. "Oy Vey (woe is me) my boychick (darling son)is all ferblungit (mixed up) he acts like such a nebbish (loser)and shlemiel (weakling) he lost all his money to that gonif (theif) of a stockbroker. Oh woe is me!

A Jewishlanguage based on German once spoken throughout Central and Eastern Europeby AshkenazicJews. The name comes from a combination of the German words, "Jud" (Jew) and "Deutsch" (German). Sometimes referred to as a dialect of German, and sometimes denigrated as the "Ebonics of the Austro-Hungarian Empire", Yiddish does have its own unique qualities which differentiate it from standard German. Unfortunately, most Yiddish speakers were killed in the Holocaust, and emigration of the Jews of Central Europe and Eastern Europe resulted in the near-disappearance of the language. Today it can only be heard in isolated pockets in certain big cities worldwide. It is probably the most endangered European language right now. However, Yiddish words have heavily influenced American English,especially that of New York, and to a lesser extent have made it into Cockney. The use of Yiddish words like schmuck, putz more...

a language spoken by some Jewish people, which is related to German
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) Thank you very much = A sheynem dank
4. | yiddish | ||
A Germanic language invented by Jews in Germany. After being blamed for the black death, the Jews were forced out of Germany, spreading through Eastern Europe and taking their middle-high period German language with them and mixing in a few Hebrew words, such as:
Ganif (thief) from Hebrew (Ganav) Shikker (drunk) from Hebrew (Shikur) Mishpoyche (family) from Hebrew (Mishpacha) etc. The language is written, curiously enough, using the Hebrew alphabet. As it once almost completely resembled German, the language evolved in Germany while the Jews were somewhere else, and therefore the language is still basically middle-high German. Yiddish was the mother tongue of millions people before the Holocaust Yiddish: "Kaynen di forshtaysen Yiddish?"
English: "can you understand Yiddish?" German: "Koennen Sie Deutsche Sprechen?" |

I find it hilarious that person number two is going on and on about how much Yiddish he knows, and then calls himself a goyem. Goyem is the plural form. I would call him an idiot, but fact remains that he isn't an idiot--Just a goy :P My Spanish is so goood. Yo nadar a el playa, y mis gustan las lirbos!

ok some people are a little confused, so im gunna try to set the record as strait as i can.
one, the word is goy, goyem is plural, and it does not mean gentile it means non-jew. Also Uncle is wrong, the laungeg was not invented by the khazars (present day khazakstan) it is though a mixture of Middle German and Hebrew. It is also not used by any broad group of people but some people sill do speak it. It is also quite fun for insalting people. Also it is not common with the torah at all! infact it never shows up in the torah seeing as there were no jews in germany yet so how could the laungegs be commbied? yeah so if im wrong o well but i am allmost positive this is all true info. please excuse my spelling im no goy, and yiddish is fun to swear at people in, partly because they will just be damn connfused and it sounds cool
7. | Yiddish | ||
Largely European language of the Jewish population. Based on an amalgum of German syntax and grammar, with vocabulary from German and Hebrew, transcribed in the Hebrew alphabet, with loan words from many other Central and Eastern European languages (Czech, Magyar, Russian, Slovak, Polish).

There's just something about Champagne that puts you in the mood for romance. At the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, the luxury property on the Bay of Banderas in Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, they serve it with quite a flourish. In a ritual that dates back to the time of Napoleon, head butler Carolina Evans deftly beheads a bottle of Veuve Clicquot with one swift slice of her saber. The cut is clean; the bubbles flow.
So begins our introduction to the St. Regis Punta Mita, "gateway to paradise," a lush tropical retreat with sweeping Pacific views about an hour from Puerto Vallarta. The resort is part of a 1,500-acre gated community of high-end condos and multi-million dollar homes, along with a Four Seasons hotel and two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses. My husband and I are on a couple's getaway, looking for the three Rs: rest, relaxation, romance.
We turn off the main highway, and for more than a mile, our car winds along roads lined with palm trees and bougainvillea before coming to a stop in the resort's courtyard ringed by low buildings. At its center is the Altamira bar, decorated with dramatic wood sculptures, and a terrace overlooking a reflecting pool that seems to stretch seamlessly to the Pacific. The pampering begins as we are whisked by golf cart to an ocean-view suite, where our own personal butler offers to unpack and press our clothes. The spacious room has a big white bed as fluffy as a marshmallow, beamed ceilings, private patio, and an outdoor shower for soaping up beneath the stars.
The next morning, we have brunch at Las Marietas, where the doors open to the ocean breezes. We slide into teak chairs, sip the "Red Snapper," the St. Regis's signature bloody Mary, and sample Mexican sweet breads. Then comes the hard part, choosing between Veracruz-style eggs with black bean sauce and avocado; machacas con huevos, marinated dried beef with eggs; or chilaquiles verde, tortilla chips cooked in a green chili sauce, topped with cheese, and, according to our charming waiter, Oscar, spiced with love.
Although it's still morning after our big Mexican breakfast, I feel a siesta coming on. (We are, after all, on vacation.) We wander down to the beach where I flop down on a day bed shaded by a lacey tree. "How about a walk?" my husband suggests. "Mañana," I say, feeling too overcome with inertia to move. But eventually, he coaxes me into the warm blue water.
Over the next few days, we take long dips in the resort's three infinity pools and leisurely walks along stone paths lined with birds of paradise and hibiscus. There are drinks and dinner at the casual Sea Breeze Beach Club and the sophisticated Carolina Restaurant, named after Mrs. (Caroline) Astor, New York City's reigning hostess in the late 1800s. For more intimate dining, there's 24-hour room service, or hotel staff will be glad to arrange a romantic dinner right on the beach. We also sample treatments at the Remède Spa, where you can book a couples massage, or an aromatherapy bath for two in a secluded, star-lit Jacuzzi.
You may never want to leave the resort, set amid 22 tropical acres, but worth a quick trip is the funky fishing village of Sayulita, a haven for surfers. Here Mexican cowboys entertain tourists by the beach and vendors hawk cold coconut juice. Have a shot of tequila at Don Pedro's as you watch dozens of surfboards bobbing in the bay. But our favorite experience was a snorkeling trip to the nearby Marietas Islands led by our Vallarta Adventures guide Señor Kimi, a tan, taut bundle of kinetic energy who excitedly points out the rare blue-footed booby and swift frigates in this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The area is home to some of the largest colonies of birds, fish, and marine mammals in the Mexican Pacific, including humpback whales that come here to breed. After swimming among spiny blowfish, sea urchins, blue damsels, and rainbow fish, we return to the resort with a new passion — the region's rich marine ecology.

Attention New York and LA based fans of both HBO's Girls and really fun workouts: Cult favorite boutique spin studio SoulCycle is partnering with the show for a series for free, yes free!, rides next week to welcome back Hannah and the gang for their second season. The 45 minute classes (rotating between the studio in West Hollywood and the five in New York City) will be Girls themed, complete with gift bags and giveaways for other cool merchandise.
If you don't know much about SoulCycle, it's a 45 minute full body workout on a spin bikecomplete with an arms series with weights. (Full disclosure: This writer can best be described as an insanely huge fan). It's filled with good energy, fun music, and tons of sweat. But it's not exactly cheap, especially if you're in that "almost getting it kind of together" place like the characters on the show. (Brilliant tag line for the season, HBO!) All the better that these will cost you exactly zero dollars!
If you're going to be in the area between Jan. 8t and 13, go to soul-cycle.com on Monday at noon to sign up for your classes. The special rides will be marked on the calendar. There will also be a last chance to reserve a bike by sending a tweet to @GirlsHBO at 3 pm the day before the ride.
Who can beat a free workout + gifts? And perhaps you'll get a Lena Dunham sighting too! She's a SoulCycle devotee (who even had her last birthday party there) so maybe, just maybe, she'll show up to spin next to you.

The last paragraph exercises the most valid information. The author points out that the majority of insurance industry discussions tend to lean towards the frivolous lawsuits filed instead of frivolous defenses that have overburdened the injured parties with additional financial expenses.
The Case in Question is one that an insurance business offered a very low settlement amount to the injured party. The settlement offer wasn't even enough to cover medical expenses. Therefore, after the case went to trial, the jury awarded the victim double the limit of the policy.
Too bad this wasn't a wake up call to the insurance providers. Since this protocol is still par for the course, then it is imperative to locate legal representation. Only a fool wouldn't find an experienced physician and attorney.
The majority of family practice doctors and primary care physicians do not provide medical treatment for auto accidents and third party billing. Physicians and Medical Clinics that do treat for injuries stemming from these accidents not only have a list of experienced lawyers but also demand that the patient retain representation to guarantee that the medical clinic will be reimbursed for medical treatment once the case is settled.

We are building a heart for our brick fireplace. The new hearth is basically a box, projecting from the fireplace, constructed of 2x4s and OSB, sealed and primed, and wrapped with Tyvek. We want to apply a brick veneer (standard brick, not face brick). I've read that you don't need to use wall ties when the brick goes up less than 3 feet. In this case, the hearth is only 15" tall. However, I still think the brick should be tied to the wood structure. Any suggestions? | |||
The tin man will be thrilled your making a heart for him. Only teasing. Your is a little confusing. Is this outside or inside? Trying to figure out where the 2 X 4's and OSB come in? Not sure where why there's Tyvek and all this sealing involved. joecaption | ||||
Joe the way that I read the OP was that it is a heart and will have brick facing on the sides from the floor to the top of the hearth. I take it that the substraight will be wood framed. Wonder what the OP is going to cover the top of the hearth with? A better choice would be Concrete or Hardee board and forego the tyvex since there needs to be this type of material on the top of the hearth. Maybe the OP will chime back in and offer a little more inf.This message has been edited. Last edited by: redoverfarm, | ||||
Your guess is as good as mine. The back wall needs an air space and not be in direct contact with a flamable material. joecaption | ||||
Yup, it's a little confusing. However, to make an answer: go ahead and use the ties, even for the 15" high wall. It seriously takes more effort to make a post on here than it does to add a few brick ties as you are installing your brick. Pennies worth of material and a minute or two of time - if overbuilding is that easy then go ahead and do it just for the peace of mind. Jaybee | ||||
Thanks for the responses. To clarify: Indoor fireplace. The original "hearth" looked like a little cement bench in front of the fireplace. Want to make it larger. Created a larger box around the existing small "bench." Used cement board and then ceramic tile for the top. Wanted to use .5" facing brick around the sides, but couldn't match to the original brick. However, we found standard size brick that matched. So, we are bricking the hearth essentially like we would brick the facade of a house over sheathing. Sealed the OSB and wrapped it just to prevent moisture from the mortar from causing any problem. Probably way overkill, but easy to do, and better safe than sorry. | ||||
Just one other thing: I had encountered articles that said that wall ties can actually cause problems. So, I posted not to save time or money but to see if anyone would comment that adding wall ties was NOT the way to go because <reasons>. Again, thanks for the comments. | ||||
For a 15" high interior hearth wall, the brick ties are not really needed - especially if there is some secure cap on the top that holds everything together. But, like I said above - they can't hurt if you want to use them. I can't imagine a brick tie causing a problem. You're looking at a bendable metal tab that doesn't even have to be perfectly aligned with anything. The only reason to fill in your blank with a reason NOT to use them would be that they are really not needed in your case. If it were me, I wouldn't bother using them, not for a 15" high wall. Jaybee | ||||
I would do it simply for the looks. It's not that hard of a project, and since you're doing it to make the whole thing larger, yeah, add the brick. It should make it look nicer. | ||||

Organ Harvesters Blur Line Between Life And Death
By Rob Stein
Backed by the federal government, doctors in Michigan are trying to expand the use of a controversial form of organ donation that raises disturbing ethical concerns, including questions about whether the donors are really dead. Defining dead turns out to be pretty complicated. There are two ways to declare someone dead.

1. To slide/ creep along in a worm like movement. Bunching up in the middle, then extending forward.
2. Pinch/ squeeze. 3. Throw it in anywhere in a sentence to spice things up. |
2. | squeech | ||
A combination of the word "question" inside of the word "speech." It's a question posed at a public event in such a way that the person asking it actually delivers a speech before the person being asked can respond. The person usually disagrees with the speaker.
Coined by debators in Northern California's high school debate organization, Junior State of America, in the early 2000s. When Eduardo stood up to ask the debator about his position on nuclear power, he squeeched about how bad it was for several minutes before the audience shouted him down with "Squeech! Squeech!"
At the political rally, one person from the audience got up to ask about the candidate's position on the war, but squeeched about 911 government conspiracy until the candidate accused him of being a plant. |

DOTHAN—Troy University officials and community leaders dedicated a major renovation of Wallace D. Malone Jr. Hall on the Dothan Campus during a ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 15.
The $1.2 million project to add classrooms, lab and office space converted the building's third floor attic into a new home for the campus' College of Health and Human Services degree programs, including nursing, social work and human services. The completed project adds about 8,100 square-feet of space to the building.
"The expansion of Malone Hall will allow the College of Health and Human Services to amplify its presence in the Wiregrass region, and our faculty and staff look forward to the enhanced opportunity to serve students in these high demand disciplines," said Dr. Damon Andrew, Dean of the College of Health and Human Services.
The building is named for former TROY Board of Trustees member and local business leader Wallace D. Malone, and the ceremony served as a chance to recognize Malone's leadership and service to TROY and the community.
"Wallace D. Malone is one of the best leaders that I have ever known," said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., TROY Chancellor. "He is a unique treasure for this state, and I am so grateful that this building will continue to bear his name as it has grown bigger."
Malone served as President Pro-Tem of the Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996 and later served as president of the Foundation Board.
Reflecting on his time at TROY, Malone said he is proud of the growth and success TROY has achieved.
"TROY is big-time and a first rate university," Malone said. "I have always valued my relationship with TROY and I always will."
Work on the renovation started in the summer of 2011, and the first classes were held inside the expansion in fall 2012. The project was supported by a $495,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.
Bob Willis, Dean of Student Services at the Dothan Campus, said the campus' Health and Human Services programs are fast growing and needed the additional space the renovation provides. The programs were launched at Dothan in 2011.
"These are very high-demand programs for us, and this new space will allow for continued enrollment growth," Willis said.
Malone Hall was one of two buildings first constructed at the present Dothan Campus location in 1990. This marks the second major renovation to the building. A pair of chemistry labs and additional classroom space was added during a 2003 expansion.
Troy University officials and local leaders celebrated a ribbon cutting for a $1.2 million expansion to Wallace D. Malone Jr. Hall at the Dothan Campus on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Pictured from left to right are: Pat Thomas, Dothan Chamber of Commerce board member; Dr. Don Jeffrey, Dothan Campus Vice Chancellor; Wallace D. Malone; W.
