Vertical tasting at Burrowing Owl Winery
How well do British Columbia wines age?
That is one of the questions most frequently asked of those of us who taste BC wines often. But for the most part, we are tasting newly released wines rather than wines that have had long-term cellaring – and not always wines from a leading producer.
Recently, however, the owners of Burrowing Owl Estate Winery – Jim and Midge Wyse and their son Chris (photo, opening wines) – invited me to a tasting of all the Chardonnays and all the Syrahs that winery has made. The results were instructive.
The tasting also included winemaker Scott Stefishen. Born in North Vancouver in 1979, he earned his winemaking degree in Australia and did several vintages in the Margaret River before returning to Canada last year. He worked with Road 13 winemaker Michael Bartier for the 2008 crush.
When he was still in Australia, which has had serious forest fires near vineyards in recent years, Scott did a study of smoke taint in wines. That expertise was reflected during the Burrowing Owl tasting.
Burrowing Owl made its first wines in 1997 and has been at the forefront of quality producers every since. A Vancouver wine agent (who represents other Okanagan wineries) says enviously that Burrowing Owl operates "under a halo" in terms of its reputation with consumers.
The reputation was built on a combination of good grape growing and good winemaking. The winemaker from the beginning through the 2004 vintage was consultant Bill Dyer, a talented and experienced California vintner. Steve Wyse, who was his cellar hand and assistant, took over when Bill left.
Steve left after the 2006 vintage (he is now launching his own Black Sheep Winery at Osoyoos). Australian-trained Jeff Del Nin did the next two vintages before leaving to join Church & State. Scott joined Burrowing Owl earlier this summer.
Even with all of those winemaker changes, the guiding style at Burrowing Owl is that established by Bill Dyer. The white wines are elegant and the oak never gets in the way of the fruit. The reds are big and ripe, reflecting the way that vineyard matures the grapes.
If anything, Burrowing Owl reds in the future might even be more ripe. On a small block of Cabernet Franc, the winery is testing the use of a white fabric strung along the base of the vines to reflect more sunlight into the north side of the rows. See the above photograph.
Here are notes and reflections from the vertical tasting.
Chardonnay 1997: Gold in colour with aromas and flavours of crème brulé. The acidity has softened, leaving the wine flat. The wine is well past its prime.
Chardonnay 1998: Gold. A hot vintage wine still being held together by its alcohol and minerals. The aroma recalls creamed corn. Drink it up now.
Chardonnay 1999: Gold. Cool vintage wine with enough acidity to give an austere finish to its citrus and mineral flavours. Drink now.
Chardonnay 2000: Gold. There is a core of lively, sweet fruit (tangerines, ripe pineapples). Drink within a year.
Chardonnay 2001: Light gold. Toast and citrus aromas. Bright citrus flavours. Still nicely alive but best within a year.
Chardonnay 2002: Light gold. Toasty aroma (from the barrels). Rich texture, with attractive citrus flavours. Drink within two years.
Chardonnay 2003: Dark gold. Seriously maderized and tasting like a dry sherry. This was the first year that synthetic stoppers were used rather than cork.
Chardonnay 2004: Fairly dark in colour. The wine is in the early stages of turning itself into sherry. These wines show how unsatisfactory synthetic stoppers can be for wines when aged more than two or three years.
Chardonnay 2005: Synthetic stopper but the wine is still drinking well, with rich flavours of citrus and toast and with slightly more prominent oak. But for the stopper, this could be aged further.
Chardonnay 2006: The wine is fresh and lively. Age it another year.
Chardonnay 2007: Back to a cork closure for this classically elegant Chardonnay, showing good minerality, lively citrus flavours and good length. Drink this over the next five years.
Syrah 2000: The debut vintage. Even though made with fruit from young vines, it is in excellent shape, with aromas of fruit, spice and liquorice, flavours of spicy plum and mocha, and a soft, chewy texture. Based on this wine, one would think that Burrowing Owl reds have at least 10 years of pleasurable life.
Syrah 2001: Another generous red, with aromas and flavours of spiced plum, black cherries and liquorice.
Syrah 2002: Dark in colour and firm in texture for Syrah (a good portent for aging), this shows earthy flavours of prunes, coffee and black chocolate.
Syrah 2003: This was the year of the forest fires in the Okanagan. Winemaker Scott Stefishen picked up a hint of wood smoke ("medicinal" he said) in the aroma of this wine. The rest of us described it as elevated pepper aromas. It is a big ripe wine, with liquorice, coffee and prune flavours again. The minimal smoke note has never been an issue with this wine, which has won serious awards.
Syrah 2004: This vintage stands out as the leanest of Burrowing Owl Syrahs. Perhaps the synthetic closure is causing mischief again. Drink it up.
Syrah 2005: This is drinking very well now, with generous flavours of black cherry, spice and chocolate. A very harmonious wine. Given the closure, enjoy this superb wine over the next year.
Syrah 2006: Classic peppery Syrah aroma; the wine has sweet berry aromas and flavours. Firm and full-bodied, it deserves aging. Happily, the winery returned to a cork closure.
Syrah 2007: This is as satisfying a Syrah as any in this line-up – bold and meaty, with aromas of pepper and deli meats and flavours of plum and chocolate. Take your time.

Matcha, azuki, black sesame, ginger, and satsuma imo (sweet potato) are among the Japanese ingredients you'll find in use at Fresh Flours bakery in Seattle. With two locations, Fresh Flours has more of a coffee shop feel than Fuji Bakery, perhaps the most renowned Japanese bakery in the area. Fresh Flours is a comfortable place to sit with a Stumptown coffee or a matcha latte, especially at the Phinney Ridge location near the Woodland Park Zoo, where you'll find a lot of family action during the day.
My favorite discovery at Fresh Flours is the Green Tea & Azuki Red Bean Pound Cake ($2.75). This solid slice has a good balance of sweetness and grassy green tea flavor, and is studded with skin-on red beans. It goes well with a variety of types of tea, though it's strong enough to stand up to a stiff cup of black coffee.
You can sample more of the red bean flavor with the Mini Azuki Brioche ($2.75). Also known as anpan, this bun is seductively soft. The azuki has smooth texture and good flavor—not overly sweet—though I wanted just a little more of it. As is typical, black sesame seeds sit atop the bun.
Similarly soft, at least on the inside, is the Mini Melonpan with Cream ($2.75).The difference is that this bun has a cookie shell that offers a crispy contrast to the interior. This is a fairly ubiquitous item in Japanese food stores, usually at a low price point and filled with more cream than Fresh Flours' version. Kids in Japan are known to peel the sugary crust off the melonpan and swipe the cream with it, tossing aside the less desirable (to them!) bready body of the bun.
Surveying the showcase, it's hard to resist the plain Croissant ($2.75), especially in the absence of the occasionally available and unique azuki croissants. Typical of many Japanese pastries and breads, the croissant is a little lighter than usual. It's fine for what it is, but falls just short in most areas of my croissant preferences, including contrast between crumb and crust as well as buttery flavor.
Finally, it's impossible to overlook the colorful display of Macarons ($1.35 each) on the counter. These macarons are a little more diminutive than most in town. Cute, but their thinness translates to a little lack of enough filling, as well as the inability to sink the teeth into the soft, slightly chewy part of the cookie that comes after effortlessly cracking the crust. Still, each petite macaron is packed with good flavor, especially the Japanese-influenced ones that are my favorites: the citrusy Yuzu and the earthy Green Tea.

We've got the highlights you won't see on SportsCenter…

Thats what you get with Sam. He sells out on every play. When he a spot player its an exciting jolt of energy. When he plays in every game as he has done so far this year it can lead to quite a few balls that get by him.
95% of left fielders take that ball on 1 or 2 hops and toss it to second to settle for man on 1st and second with 2 outs and the scoreboard still empty.
Helli wasn't served well with his defenders yesterday. Escobar missed a ball up the middle he gets to usually( im not calling it and error mind you) and the 2 muffed balls on the first base side of the infield. Kept guys alive that should have been outs.
If I'm Hickey i'm reminding my defense his next start, 'remember Helli is going to get alot of weak contact, we dont need hero defense just make the plays routine and trust your pitcher to get you out of the inning'
Helli's record with men in scoring position speaks for itself.

Federico Macheda scored the winner midway through the first half for the Red Devils, who came closest to increasing their lead just before time when another Italian, substitute Davide Petrucci, rattled the crossbar.
It was a closer match than anticipated, with many South Africans believing mid-table Premiership side AmaZulu would be swept aside by the former European champions even though they lacked many first choices like Wayne Rooney.
Political icon Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected president of South Africa, was remembered before the kick-off with the teams wishing him a happy 94th birthday in song.
"My players tired during the second half which was quite even," said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. "I'm happy with the result and it was nice to give Nelson Mandela a birthday present of a United victory.
"I gave a few young players a chance tonight and we have high hopes for two or three of them. Jesse Lingard has got a lot of potential and Scott Wootton impressed in the heart of defence."
United left new signing Shinji Kagawa from Japan on the bench as they started with a mix of experienced stars like captain Rio Ferdinand and youngsters Robbie Brady, Frederic Veseli, Wootton and Lingard.
The Red Devils were quick into their stride on a clear mid-winter evening in the Indian Ocean city and could have taken the lead inside two minutes had Javier Hernandez been sharper.
Goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini failed to grasp a close-range Macheda shot and the ball fell invitingly for the Mexican in front of goal, but he failed to connect and the South Africans hastily cleared.
United were dominant in the early stages against nervous opponents and the 2012 English Premier League runners-up to Manchester City would not have been flattered by a three-goal lead after 10 minutes.
Machedo broke the deadlock on 20 minutes by finishing off good work from Paul Scholes and Dimitar Berbatov with a close-range shot that touched the hand of the AmaZulu goalkeeper and the foot of a defender before crossing the line.
The goal triggered greater urgency from AmaZulu, a South African Premiership side coached by Swede Roger Palmgren, and Ayanda Dlamini twice threatened the visiting defence.
Berbatov was unlucky not to score a second goal for United before half-time as his sweetly struck volley off a corner was brilliantly tipped over the bar by Zimbabwean Kapini.
A frenetic start to the second half saw both teams come close to scoring and AmaZulu posed more of a threat as it progressed, although they were continually let down by wild shooting.
Kagawa, a June signing from German champions Borussia Dortmund, finally came on one minute from time after a prolonged wait on the touchline before the ball went out of play.
United play Ajax Cape Town Saturday before flying to China for a midweek clash against Shanghai Shenhua, the club that recently signed Chelsea Champions League hero Didier Drogba.
The Old Trafford club will also face Valerenga in Norway, Barcelona in Sweden and Hanover in Germany during a 22,000-mile (35,400-kilometre) pre-season tour before opening their Premier League campaign against Everton.

Downhill All the Way
The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914–1991
Among historians in the English-speaking world there is a discernible "Hobsbawm generation." It consists of men and women who took up the study of the past at some point in the "long nineteen-sixties," between, say, 1959 and 1975, and whose interest in the recent past was irrevocably shaped by Eric Hobsbawm's writings, however much they now dissent from many of his conclusions. In those years he published a quite astonishing body of influential work: Primitive Rebels, which first appeared in 1959, introduced young urban students to a world of rural protest in Europe and overseas that has now become much more familiar to us, in large measure thanks to the work of scholars whose imaginations were first fired by Hobsbawm's little book. Labouring Men, Industry and Empire and Captain Swing (with George Rude) substantially recast the economic history of Britain and the story of the British labor movement; they brought back to scholarly attention a half-buried tradition of British radical historiography, reinvigorating research into the conditions and experiences of the artisans and workers themselves, but bringing to this engaged concern an unprecedented level of technical sophistication and a rare breadth of knowledge.
If the conclusions and interpretations of these books seem conventional today, that is only because it is difficult now to remember what their subject matter looked like before Hobsbawm made it his own. No amount of revisionist sniping or fashionable amendment can detract from the lasting impact of this body of work.
But Hobsbawm's most enduring imprint on our historical consciousness has come through his great trilogy on the "long nineteenth century," from 1789 to 1914, the first volume of which, The Age of Revolution, 1789–1848, appeared in 1962. It is hard to assess the influence of that book precisely because it has become so indelibly part of our sense of the period that all subsequent work either unconsciously incorporates it or else works against it. Its overall scheme, interpreting the era as one of social upheaval dominated by the emergence and rise to influence of the bourgeoisie of northwest Europe, eventually became the "conventional" interpretation, now exposed to steady criticism and revision. It was followed in 1975 by The Age of Capital, a masterly survey of the middle years of the last century that drew on a remarkable range of material and depth of understanding. That book remains, in my view, Hobsbawm's single greatest work, drawing together the many mid-Victorian transformations of the world and framing them in a unified and still forceful historical narrative. In The Age of Empire, which appeared twelve years later, there was an unmistakable elegiac air, as though the leading historian of the last century were somehow sorry to see it come to a close at his hands. The overall impression is of an era of protean change, where a high price was paid for the rapid accumulation of wealth and knowledge; but an era, nonetheless, that was full of promise and of optimistic visions of radiant and improving futures. The nineteenth…

Persuasive Arguments About Water Ecology Lesson Plan: Citizen Science Game
Grade Levels: 3-5, 6-8
In this multi-day lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 5-12, students use BrainPOP resources to practice crafting reasoned arguments and explore water ecology and the effect of humans on the environment. Through an online game, students will learn about the causes of water pollution in a lake and pose a question about the local water supply to community residents. Students then compile the residents' opinions during game play and compose a persuasive letter to their congressional representative asking for his or her support in improving water conditions.
Students will:
- Identify the causes of water pollution and what humans can do to combat the problem.
- Pose a question about the local water supply to community residents during game play and compile their opinions.
- Craft reasoned, evidence-based arguments to persuade others using established facts.
- Compose a persuasive letter to their congressional representative asking for his or her support in improving water conditions.
Preparation:This lesson plan utilizes Citizen Science, an online flash-based computer adventure game developed by Filament Games. In Citizen Science, the player takes on the role of a young adult who becomes concerned about the health of a local lake threatened by eutrophication. Based at Lake Mendota in Madison, WI, the player's goal is to restore the lake. By focusing on the ecological needs of Lake Mendota as well as the surrounding community, the game is able to bring together real-world issues and scientific practices. It takes approximately 90 minutes to complete the game, and students can save their work as they play over multiple days.
In preparation for the lesson, preview the game and the BrainPOP movies associated with this topic. You want to familiarize students with the Water Supply and Humans and the Environment topic in order to build background knowledge. You should also preview the Citizen Science Curriculum PDF which has been prepared by Jim Matthews, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin and a member of the Citizen Science project. This lesson uses pages 11-14, but you may decide to use additional activities from the PDF. Be sure to make photocopies of pages 11-12 of the PDF and also the Graphic Organizer. You should allot approximately 5 days for students to complete all the activities in this lesson.
Lesson Procedure:
- Ask students what they know about water pollution. Encourage students to brainstorm how water becomes polluted. You may want to record their ideas on the board.
- Play the Water Pollution Movie for the class.
- Invite students to revisit the notes from their brainstorming session and make changes based on what they learned in the movie. Ask students who they think is responsible for the various methods of pollution. Is there anything that students are doing as an average citizen to contribute to the problem? Is there anything they can do to help?
- Tell students they will use an online game to explore the ways young people can help restore polluted bodies of water to health. Pair students up and provide 15-20 minutes for them to explore the Citizen Science game with their partners. They will not have a chance to finish the game, but can save their progress.
- Talk with students about what they learned during game play. Guide students to make connections between what they learned in the movie and what they experienced through the game.
- During the next day's lesson, give students approximately 60 minutes to continue playing the Citizen Science game. A total of 90 minutes is typically needed for students to finish the game. Debrief as a class at the end of the period and allow students who have not finished to save their progress.
- Provide 10-30 minutes for students to finish the Citizen Science game and discuss the major themes and strategies as a class.
- Pass out page 11 ("Carla's Story: Read All About It") and page 12 ("In the News: Ripped From the Headlines") from the Citizen Science Curriculum and give students time to read it independently or collaboratively.
- Ask a volunteer to summarize what they read. Discuss the news articles that Carla found and their relevance.
- Project page 13 ("In the News: Local Opinions") so the class can see it. Discuss how the local opinions were gathered. Then show page 14 ("Dear Senator Randall...") and talk about the letter Carla wrote.
- Explain that students will have the chance to research a question that is important for their local water supply, ask community members their opinions on it, and then write their congressional representatives to persuade them to improve the water supply condition. You may want to brainstorm some appropriate questions as a class and record them.
- Divide students into small groups and provide time for them to select or compose a question and plan which community members they will poll and how.
- After students have had time to interview community members, provide time in class for them to report back to their groups and compile the responses. Students should then compose the letter to their congressional representatives.
- Assist students in proofreading their poll results and letters, and send them to congressional representatives. You might also want to publish students' letters on a class or school blog, or submit them to the editor of your local paper.
- Revisit the Citizen Science game as a review, this time allowing students to explore the game independently.
- Assess student learning by having the class complete the Graphic Organizer independently. Afterward, invite students to share their responses with the class. You may want students to use the back of their papers to reflect on the different ways they can combat water pollution. Encourage students to use information they learned through the movie and the game.
Extension Activities:Explore the other activities in the Citizen Science curriculum packet and have students conduct the experiments related to water supply. Encourage students to research ways they can continue making a difference in their communities.

Wales' World Cup aspirations lie in tatters after an inept display at the Karadjordje Stadium saw them roundly thumped by Serbia.
Woeful defending played a major part in Wales' heaviest defeat since 1996 and Aleksandar Kolarov and Zoran Tosic had the hosts 2-0 up inside 25 minutes.
Gareth Bale gave Wales hope with a stunning free-kick but Filip Djuricic got a third for the hosts before the break and Dusan Tadic, Branislav Ivanovic and Miralem Sulejmani completed the rout.
The hope that this generation of Wales players were ready to end a run of having not reached a World Cup finals since 1958 had flourished under the stewardship of the late Gary Speed.
But since his death Wales have lost five in a row and the dispiriting manner of this defeat suggests the wait will extend beyond the end of this campaign.
Chris Coleman had said there were positives to take from Friday's 2-0 defeat to Belgium but there were none on offer here.
The manager praised the defensive display last Friday but it was a string of errors at the back that did for the visitors this time around.
There had been early warning signs when Adam Matthews was in the right place to keep out a free header from Matija Nastasic, before Darcy Blake came close to putting through his own net with a sliced clearance.
And it was no surprise when Wales fell behind after 15 minutes.
Chelsea's Ivanovic won a soft free-kick out of Simon Church on the right edge of the area and Kolarov, who had been critical of Wales in the build-up to the game, stepped up to curl a left-footed effort over the wall and beyond Boaz Myhill, who was slow to react to the strike.
The deficit doubled in the 24th minute, with Kolarov this time the creator amidst comedy defending.
The left-back looked to have been stopped by Ashley Williams but he slipped away from the centre-half and Chris Gunter to get away a shot from near the byline. Myhill blocked that effort but Tosic had the simple task of converting the follow-up.
It would have been worse for Wales had Gunter not blocked Tadic's goalbound effort, with the visitors looking vulnerable almost every time the hosts came forward.
Bale gave them a lifeline just after the half-hour mark as he picked himself up after being fouled by Milan Bisevac to thump home a superb swerving free-kick from almost 30 yards.
It was the first goal of Coleman's stint in charge but Wales' defensive frailties resurfaced to undermine their attempt at a recovery as Blake's awful defensive header allowed Tadic to play in Djuricic, who went round Matthews and fired high into Myhill's net.
Coleman withdrew Matthews, who had endured a torrid time up against Tadic and Tosic, and David Edwards for Sam Ricketts and David Vaughan at the break but it made little difference.
Tadic struck the fourth in the 55th minute, Ivanovic dispossessing Bale and beating Ricketts down the right before sliding the ball across to give Tadic a simple finish.
Wales were once again guilty of making problems for themselves when it came to the fifth goal.
Blake surrendered possession on the edge of his own area and home skipper Ivanovic capitalised to slide a right-footed effort into the bottom corner.
Substitute Sulejmani then rounded off the scoring as his deflected strike looped in over Myhill.
The goal made this Wales' worst result since the 7-1 loss to Holland under Bobby Gould in 1996, on the most miserable of nights for the visitors.

Taking on Global Corporate Sustainability
By Sandy Louey
As scholars who study global business trends and their impact, Paul A. Griffin and Amy Myers Jaffe are great role models for their students at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management.
The two UC Davis colleagues tackle a range of corporate social responsibility issues across the global stage such as energy and sustainability, use of conflict minerals and greenhouse gas emissions.
Griffin, who is a professor of management, is an international authority in accounting and corporate disclosure.
"My research on accounting reports and corporate disclosure provides some unique insights about managers' actions and consequences," he says. "This knowledge is more important than ever as companies strive to meet the global challenges of climate change and sustainability."
Jaffe, executive director of energy and sustainability for UC Davis, is a global expert on energy policy, geopolitical risk, and energy and sustainability. She holds a joint appointment with the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies.
"Increasingly we live in a globalized society where problems of environment, social justice and security do not end at national borders," she says.
"In my research on sustainability and energy, I see clearly how local efforts like UC Davis' West Village project can contribute to global solutions and how much global solutions are needed for local problems across the world."
Just recently, they contributed to a study that found investors in U.S. oil and gas companies have not ignored science when considering whether a potential carbon asset bubble exists.
It's a concern raised in recent media reports. The study found, instead, that investors' rational expectations for future cash flows are based on all possible scenarios, not just dire predictions in the media about a carbon asset bubble bursting.
Jaffe is attending special energy sessions at the World Economic Forum, Jan. 22 to 25 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. On Jan. 24, Jaffe and John Negroponte, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, will speak at an additional energy event on "Unconventional Oil and Gas: Reshaping the Geopolitical Map."
Griffin published a study that predicted that a Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring companies to disclose their use of "conflict minerals"—those mined in the Republic of Congo and neighboring countries and linked to armed conflict and human rights abuses—would cost shareholders billions of dollars. In another study, he found that share prices went up for companies that reported their greenhouse emissions reduction strategies.
Griffin and Jaffe bring their research and expertise on these important global issues into the classroom and the management school's community, shaping the way business education at UC Davis is preparing innovative leaders for global impact.
Sandy Louey is director of strategic communications for the UC Davis Graduate School of Management.

Chubz: the Demonization of my Working Arse is the first book by Huw Lemmey (aka Spitzenprodukte)—a work of fanfiction inspired by young Labour party member, author, and Guardian columnist Owen Jones. First person accounts of protagonist Chubz' hookups with Jones are interspersed with depressingly funny episodes recounting UKIP leader Nigel Farage's poppers-fuelled campaign. Sex and politics—contemporary cruising, self-representation, and brand identification—have underpinned the majority of Lemmey's work prior to Chubz, including "Digital Dark Spaces" and "Devastation in Meatspace" (both The New Inquiry). A book launch for Chubz was held recently at Jupiter Woods, London (October 28), featuring readings from the book and from earlier material, including a poem by Timothy Thornton (found here as two PDFs). I spoke with Lemmey about his book in person and over email. The book can be purchased here.
LH: Over what period have you been writing Chubz, and what motivated you to use the mode of fanfiction to develop concerns about sex and politics that you'd previously expressed in journalistic fashion?
HL: I don't know when I started; I left London for a summer in 2012, during the Olympics, to live in Dublin. I guess when I was there I started putting down some ideas for what the book was going to become, but I was very much writing some sort of speculative futurist thing, trying to think about the city through a language of future branding. It felt very strange being out of the country that summer. I was sure the place would try to erupt like the year before, and worried about how that would play out given that there were literally soldiers on the street when I left in June. When I got back that autumn, and there weren't more riots, I was surprised, and now there's this point at the end of every summer where I'm still surprised they haven't happened.

Tommy Lee Jones is the latest actor to join the cast of Great Hope Springs. Directed by David Frankel, Meryl Streep and Steve Carell are poised to star in the film that centers on a longtime couple who decides to undergo intense marriage counseling. Jones will play Streep's husband, while Carell is set to play a relationship guru. Mike Nichols was previously circling the project as his next directorial vehicle, but he subsequently dropped out.
The screenplay, written by Vanessa Taylor, landed on the Black List. Production on Great Hope Springs is set to start this August, with a 4th quarter 2012 release date being eyed. Based on the premise, a holiday release a la It's Complicated seems likely. Hit the jump to read the full press release, as well as the official synopsis.
Here's the synopsis:
Many years of marriage have left Maeve (Streep) wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a famed relationship guru (Carell) in the town of Great Hope Springs, she must persuade her skeptical husband (Jones) to get on a plane for an intense week of marriage and sex therapy. Getting there was hard enough…now shedding their bedroom hang ups, learning some new moves and rediscovering their youthful spark is when the real adventure begins.

The post-Halley era
Giotto's visit to Comet Halley certainly taught scientists a great deal, but as always with such exploratory missions it also raised new questions. Scientists wanted to learn even more about these fascinating primordial space objects and made calls for more cometary missions.
A few weeks before the launch of Giotto, a so-called 'Planetary Cornerstone' mission was proposed in ESA's long-term scientific programme known as 'Horizon 2000'. Planetary scientists wanted it to become a Comet-Nucleus Sample Return (CNSR) mission in collaboration with NASA, which would represent a logical next step after Giotto.
In the mid-nineties, it became a purely ESA-led mission and was redefined as a cometary orbiter with a lander. This Rosetta mission was launched on 2 March 2004 and is currently on its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which it will reach in mid-2014.
The motto under which Rosetta's state-of-the-art payload has been developed is 'When we can't bring back a sample to the laboratory, we have to bring the laboratory to the comet'.
Some scientists who had originally criticised fly-by missions to comets, even in the exploratory phase as not providing a good scientific return, were eventually won over by the tremendous success of Giotto and the wealth of data that it and the Vega 1 and 2 spacecraft provided.
Consequently, NASA's Deep Space 1 mission, launched on 24 October 1998, went on during its extended mission to fly-by Comet Borelly in September 2001.
Three cometary missions then followed as part of NASA's Discovery programme.
Stardust, launched on 7 February 1999, passed comet Wild 2 on 2 January 2004 at 240 km and collected comet grains that were returned to Earth on 15 January 2006.
It was followed by Contour, a mission to study the diversity of comets by making close fly-bys of at least two of them, like Giotto. Launched on 3 July 2002, Contour was unfortunately lost before it was injected into its interplanetary trajectory.
The third spacecraft Deep Impact, launched on 12 January 2005, fired a projectile into Comet Tempel 1 on 4 July 2005, an event that was monitored by observatories around the world.
Giotto was therefore instrumental in improving the fundamental knowledge about comets. Based on its results and the follow-on missions that it spawned, scientists have gradually learned more and more about these mysterious bodies over the past decades.
But when the images of the various comets are compared, they all look quite different. Scientists do not really understand why yet!
A lot of questions have been answered, but the more they discover, the more they want to know in order to really understand comets, their origin, their physics and their chemistry.
ESA's Rosetta will be the next spacecraft to visit a comet, in 2014, this time to make detailed, longer-term studies. Based on what ESA has learned so far from these 'frozen snowballs of mud and ice', it will certainly be worth the wait!

The LA Art Show was much expected by Artists and Collectors and Art lovers just the same. It was here and it is gone now. I was able to attend for a brief Saturday afternoon – and it was packed! I thought I was in some kind of futuristic Art version of Neiman Marcus … Not that Neiman was ever that packed with visitors. That was the curious part – apparently, the organizers did a wonderful job promoting it.
Most impressive part was the variety of Art and the presence of Chinese Artists and Galleries. Among the American Galleries, who are always present at every show like ABBY TAYLOR GALLERY (Boston) and LUREI GALLERY (Los Angeles) just to name a couple – the presence of Chinese art galleries was strong both as number of galleries and quality of Art. The Chinese traditional mastery was possibly the most impressive – A wonderdful large-scale portrait of an elderly lady stayed with me long after I left the show. Impeccable brushstroke – and emotion for detail. For the short time I was able to view the show – one other thing made an impression on me – very little sculpture. Almost nonexistent. Could it be that this means a Sculpture Art Show is in the making for 2014? Hmmm – Maybe next ART SHOW will have a special section exclusively for sculpture – Contemporary and Traditional Figurative…. In any case – LURIE GALLERY had two California Artists, both dramatically different in their sculpture technique – Jon Krawzhyk – contemporary abstract medium, usually large scale and Daniele Matalon – traditional figurative third to half-life size bronzes. Daniele Matalon's "Petra" is exquisite, sensual in a contained kind of way, and masterful in its execution. Daniele Matalon is a Sculptor, who started her career in early 2000. 'Petra' reminds me of a sculptural version of an Var5gas and Olivia's glamourous pin-ups. To view the show , for you is a brief video on the Art Chronicle YOUTUBE channel ( click on the red text to activate the link). See you soon!
Yours Truly,

Creating Knowledge
Problem-driven research in surface science requires the combination of different experimental and theoretical methods.
PGI-3 has a large number of experimental stations at its disposal which between them allow diffraction-, scanning probe-, photoemission-, electron scattering- and electron microscopy-experiments.
With this spectrum of methods, surfaces and interfaces can be characterized comprehensively. In particular, their atomic-scale and mesoscopic structure, their chemical composition and bonding environment, their electronic spectral function, and their vibrational modes are accessible. Some of these properties can even be followed in real time while the surface evolves under the influence of heat transfer or arriving material.
With our state-of-the-art experimental stations we are able to investigate surface processes such as the adsorption of (individual) molecules, the self-assembly of matter into monolayers or nanostructures, or the growth of thin films. We also have the capability to investigate electron transport at the nanoscale, for example through low-dimensional structures or individual molecules, and to connect this data to structural and spectral properties of the objects in question.
A detailed list of our laboratories can be found here.

Hey, You Guys! Know what the secret best part of making wedding cakes is? (I mean, besides the butter, obviously.) It's getting all the amazing pro pictures after the fact. I could (and do) lose days staring at the photographers' websites. Oohing and aahing, gasping & sighing over the detail shots and the way the lighting totally makes that bride's skin look like porcelain, omg. Can we get that lighting installed in our bathroom? Please? Home Depot should totally offer that.
First they cut the cake. (Does Lisa not have the BEST facial expressions?)
Annnd then:
(I think they liked it... This face says it all, right?)

Udeepta Bordoloi at AMD has posted the following convolution tutorial for OpenCL:
http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamS … penCL.aspx
The tutorial focuses just on the CPU, but includes a nice description of how to vectorize your kernel. There is also a performance comparison to OpenMP. Unfortunately the example does not include the use of local memory which is really important for performance on the GPU, but it's a good place to look for a non-trivial OpenCL example program.
