Following fashion foot by foot. This is all about shoes.
I don't own credits for the photos, I just want to share my love for shoes. If you see your photo here and would like to claim credits for it, please let me know and I'll be happy to link you!
The only chunky part of the Erdem show were the shoes. The collection it self was a dream in soft pastels, sweet texture and some edgy snakeskin.

André Hess makes abstract, elusive shapes that require the viewer to question what they mean rather than puzzle over what they resemble. The work is both familiar and fugitive, but always evocative of the history and theory of clay. He uses any technique that fulfils the requirement. Surface treatments qualify what is already there, and are achieved using slips, oxides and frits only.

Global Teutonic Zionists – Working towards that New World Order: 1) Lord Jacob de Rothschild. 2) His spooky son, Nathaniel. 3) Baron John de Rothschild, who recently said they are working towards global governance. 4) Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. His wife Lynn Forrester is a big mover and shaker in the Democratic party. 5) David Rockefeller, Sephardic Crypto-Teutonic, who's son Nick told film director Aaron Russo about 9/11 in advance. 6) Nathan Warburg. His family was not only instrumental in creating the Federal Reserve, etc. they were also behind the rise of Adolf Hitler. 7) Henry Kissinger, Globalist genocidal schemer. 8 George Soros, another Teutonic schemer and NGO manipulator. 9) Paul Volcker, Crypto-Jew big-time Globalist and economic advisor to Obama. 10) Larry Summers, Crypto-Teutonic economic advisor to Obama. 11) Lloyd Blankfein, CEO to the rapidly growing Goldman Sachs banking behemoth. 12) Ben Shalom Bernanke, current Teutonic master of the Federal Reserve (a private entity, neither "Federal" nor a "Reserve"). What's the common denominator here?
U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway informs Congress that J. P. Morgan is a Rothschild front and has taken control of the American media industry. He states,
"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press……They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers…An agreement was reached. The policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month, an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers."

Hjerim is the purchasable house in Windhelm.
Purchasing the house before completing Blood on the Ice will begin that quest as soon as the house is entered for the first time. In its most basic state, Hjerim features little more than a wardrobe, bed, and a chest. However the upgrades available for Hjerim make it arguably the most desirable house in the game, featuring the most amount of storage space, a large armory with several display cases, plaques and mannequins, and a large amount of bookshelf space. Hjerim also features a secret chamber, which can be turned into an Alchemy and Enchanting room.
Hjerim is purchasable having sided with either The Empire or Stormcloaks. Once allied with the Stormcloaks, the Fort Neugrad mission must be completed before Jorleif will make the house available for sale. However, if Falkreath Hold has been given to the Stormcloaks as part of Season Unending, it may be necessary to liberate Hjaalmarch before Jorleif will make this house available. If the Imperial Legion is chosen as an ally, then the defeat of the Stormcloaks is required before it is available to buy.

[edit] Notes
- The list of upgrades in the house guidebook given to you by Jorleif after purchasing the house lists incorrect upgrades.
- The code
setstage 000A7B33 10seems to work for getting the house.
- Even before Hjerim has been purchased as your house, resting on the main bed will render you well-rested. With the added bonus of three safe storage containers, it can be used as a home before it has been purchased.
- Adopted children living here will have unique dialogue comments about Windhelm:
- The Argonians at the docks say they can breath underwater. I wish I could do that... (girls)
- Rolff says I shouldn't go to the Grey Quarter anymore. He said it's not safe there. (girls)
- Grimvar said a boy used to live in that abandoned house, all alone, 'til the Dark Brotherhood came 'n got him. Scary, huh? (boys)
- If you ask your spouse "How are the kids?" they may remark:
- Well, love, very well. There's so much history in this city, so many things we can do here.
- Hjerim used to belong to the now deceased Friga Shatter-Shield - this can be confirmed during the quest Blood on the Ice, where you can ask Tova Shatter-Shield for the key to Hjerim, referring to it as "your daughter's house".
[edit] Bugs
- There are a few bugs which affect all houses, see the bugs section of the Houses page for details and fixes.
- The option to buy "Clean up the murderer's mess" will disappear if you purchase the Living Room upgrade first, but the "mess" will still be there. This seems to be a scripting error, as the living room option disables the cleaning option, which does not disable itself.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.4.15 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
- You can use the console command
DF492.Disableto clean up the mess.
- It is possible that there will be no chest in the bedroom, even though it is listed as included.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.2.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- Sometimes the mannequin on the left will spawn a full set of armor you previously put on it when you change the mannequin's contents and reenter the house.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- The two dagger display cases in the master bedroom are buggy:
- Most daggers placed in the lower case cannot be retrieved (Dragon Priest style daggers have been reported to be removable).
- Daggers placed in the upper case are extremely difficult to retrieve (Daggers with unusual thicknesses, such as Keening, may be removable by facing the case from just the right angle).
- Multiple daggers can be placed in the same case.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- Opening the console and typing
tclcan be used to retrieve the daggers.
- If the previous solution doesn't work: Open the console, click the dagger that is stuck in the case, enter
getpos z, note the decimal number that is shown, enter
setpos z Nwhere N is the decimal number + 10. For example, if
getpos zprints 216.06, then you should enter
setpos z 226.06. This command moves the dagger so it's floating above the case, where you can easily grab it. It works for the top and bottom cases.
- Opening the console and typing
- The option to buy the house may exist but you are unable to actually purchase it even after completing the prerequisites as the dialogue still says it is unable to be purchased due to unpleasantness.
- It is possible that after the Battle of Windhelm, Brunwulf Free-Winter may not appear in the Palace of the Kings, preventing you from being named Thane of Eastmarch and preventing the purchase of Hjerim. ?
- To fix this, use Unrelenting Force on the former Stormcloak-supporting Jarls ousted by the Imperials in the Palace of the Kings. This will give you a bounty in all of the Jarls' former holds. Fast-travel away from Windhelm and return; Brunwulf should be there.
- The master bed may still say "investigate bed and chairs" when you point at parts of it. Just move the pointer to another part of the bed and the option to sleep on it will appear.
- If you choose the option to confront Wuunferth directly instead of telling Jorleif that you suspect he is behind the murders, the chest near the master bed will never appear when you buy the property later in the game.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.2.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- The display case closest to the bedrooms can hold large weapons such as battleaxes or warhammers, but staves will disappear if placed on it.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- The room with the alchemy lab and enchanting table has no light when upgraded. ?
- Torches can be dropped as an easy solution to provide light.

Liliane Kaufmann often traveled to California and Mexico, where she grew to love avocado, which at the time might have been considered exotic by some Northeasterners, especially in rural areas such as southwestern Pennsylvania. Although avocados were first shipped to Chicago and New York in the 1920s, sales in the Midwest have risen only recently. As one early wholesaler said, "Nobody here wants black fruit." For any produce that was out of season or not available at farms near Fallingwater, the Kaufmanns had a standing-order account at a Shadyside market, where the family purchased many of their groceries. Elsie says she often featured avocado in salads when Edgar Jr. and his companion, Paul Mayen, were at Fallingwater. "Mr. Mayen loved avocados."–Suzanne Martinson
Chicken Avocado Cranberry Salad Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 8 to 10
- For the boiled salad dressing
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup vinegar (either white or cider vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- For the salad
- 6 cups cooked chicken breast, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup dried cranberries, soaked overnight, drained and patted dry
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup boiled salad dressing
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 4 or 5 avocados, peeled, pitted and thickly sliced (see note)
- 1. Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and dry mustard in a saucepan. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the milk and vinegar. Stir the mixture slowly into the flour, whisking as you pour. Cook on the range over medium heat until the mixture is thick. Remove from the heat. Add the butter and stir. Cool to room temperature for serving. Cover and refrigerate the unused dressing.
- Make the salad
- 2. In a large bowl, add the cranberries to the cooked chicken. Mix in the celery, salt, pepper, dressing, and chopped parsley.
- 3. To serve, arrange the salad on a large round serving plate. Prepare the avocado at the last minute so it won't darken. Peel, pit, and thickly slice each avocado. Encircle the chicken salad in the center of the dish with the thick slices of avocado. Figure on one-half avocado per person.
- Here's how to cut an avocado: With a sharp paring knife, peel the avocado. Holding the fruit in one hand, crosswise around its circumference, slice the fruit into crescents, from top to bottom, just until the knife hits the pit. If not serving immediately, squirt the slices with lemon juice to avoid discoloring. Supermarket avocadoes are usually sold while still hard, so they should be purchased several days in advance. They are ripe when the skin yields when pressed gently with the thumb.

text: When we last left off our Subaru boasted 219.7 horsepower and 222.4 lbs-ft of torque. Our bolt-on components at this point consisted of an array of XS Engineering parts. We started off with an air intake, exhaust and APEXi S-AFC then installed the company's off road front and mid down-pipes as well as upping the boost to a max boost pressure of 15 psi with the use of an APEXi AVC-R. The EngineAs we stated at the end of our Part II segment, detonation was audible which put an end to any further dyno testing until we could drop the intake temperature. Before that, all the horsepower was made utilizing the factory air-to-air intercooler. Performance ComponentsFor our third at bat our arsenal consisted of a two-part power page. Seeing how the vehicle is new of 2002 parts availability is still an issue. Although we only have two parts in this segment the two power adders will play a key issue in future chapter of this power page WRX. First we added an XS front mount intercooler as well as an XS built IHI turbo. At the end of our last session the detention told us that we were on the borderline of power or breakage if we didn't swap out the OEM intercooler. The main reason we pointed the finger towards the intercooler was because the longer we cooled the car down the more detonation disappeared. We enlisted the help of an XS intercooler as well as their piping kit for the WRX. The intercooler is 3x18x10-inches in size while piping comes in a 2.25-inch diameter. Since the factory intercooler housed the OE blow off valve this required the XS intercooler kit to utilize an aftermarket unit. The mild steel piping is powder coated and all clamps and silicone connectors are provided. The IHI turbo mimics the same design as the WRC Subaru minus the restricter plate. Additional hoses, clamps and gaskets are included with the turbo as well as a new upper pipe to accommodate the larger outlet on the new unit. The turbo's main objective is to produce a healthier mid range with out sacrificing much horsepower on the top end. XS Engineering has also informed us that there is a larger unit on its way that will be released in April. Dyno TestingWhen we left off our horsepower was at 219.7 at 6000 rpm. With the boost set at 15 psi using the AVC-R we were able to build most of the power in the mid range section of the power band. Along with the impressive horsepower the vehicle was also able to produce a healthy 222 lbs-ft of torque. With the XS intercooler installed and the boost controller locked on 15 psi we were able to find out how much power the intercooler was able to generate by lowering the air charge temperature. We would like to note that the use of the XS Engineering intercooler kit removes the factory fog lights since intercooler piping has limited routes. Although we lost the fog lights we were able to pick up an additional eight ponies in the peak range as well as an extra 8 to 20 horses from 4000 to 5500. Torque also picked up as much as 25 lbs-ft at 4300 rpm. ConclusionAdding the IHI turbo was very easy considering it was a factory replacement. To ensure accuracy of the horsepower comparison the boost was left at 15 psi to test the effectiveness of the turbo. The turbo delivered exactly what it was intended to and the proof was the 20 horsepower gain in the 3000 to 4600 area. The sacrifice at the top end was a mere two horsepower.

PHIL MICKELSON: Well, it's been an interesting offseason. And I'm going to have to make some drastic changes. I'm not going to jump the gun and do it right away, but I will be making some drastic changes.
Q. Meaning leaving from California?
PHIL MICKELSON: I'm not sure.
Q. Moving to Canada?
PHIL MICKELSON: I'm not sure what exactly, you know, I'm going to do yet. I'll probably talk about it more in depth next week. I'm not going to jump the gun, but there are going to be some. There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and, you know, it doesn't work for me right now. So I'm going to have to make some changes.

Netflix went down over three hours ago, and everyone is on edge here. My son just started reciting the script to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in an attempt to keep our courage up. This may be the last thing I ever write, so — Oh, never mind, it's back up again … Crisis averted, and on to this week's developer news.
We have an
App Store Appstore for that!
Amazon this week unleashed their own Appstore for Android devices. Apple took umbrage at the use of the (evidently trademarked) term "App Store" and fired a salvo of lawyers across Amazon's bow. Amazon responded by essentially saying "Hey, app store is a generic term." To which Apple responded "So is windows, and Microsoft gets to protect that …"
Given that Apple gave Amazon multiple warnings not to use the App Store tag, it's unclear why Amazon decided to be the one application store to challenge Apple for use of it. And unlike nebulous patent claims, trademark claims are pretty straightforward. Amazon is going to have a hard time arguing that their use of the term "Appstore" is sufficiently different from Apple's App Store, and that there couldn't be any confusion. But however things fall out in the end, the only winners, of course, will be the lawyers.
A moment of silence for Sun.com, please
An old and venerable friend is passing away, and we should all take a moment to reflect on the long and fruitful life that it led. Oracle has announced that they will be decommissioning the sun.com domain, the 12th oldest domain name on the Internet. For those of us whose fingers can type "java.sun.com" automatically, it will be a jarring change.
I first encountered Sun way back in 1985 when Xerox AI Systems decided to port their Interlisp workstations to run on Sun hardware. The Sun 4/110 on my desktop was (to me at the time) the coolest thing on the planet. For a while, it seemed like Sun (along with Cisco) was the Internet. Now the last major vestige of Sun, their domain, will be sold off like cattle. Excuse me, I think I have something in my eye …
Bake for 20 minutes, and Drizzle liberally with SQL
One of the side-effects of Oracle acquiring Sun is that MySQL was thrown into somewhat of a turmoil. Forked versions seemed to be cropping up everywhere. Now the first of the baby-MySQLs is getting on the bus and heading off to school, as Drizzle has announced their general availability release.
For individuals and companies looking for an alternative to Oracle's MySQL offering, Drizzle offers an API-compatible replacement that aims to be a leaner, meaner database optimized for high-performance operations. For those wanting a more traditionally MySQL experience without the Oracle baggage, MariaDB is still out there, of course.

A teenage girl was found dead Monday morning alongside the Chain of Lakes Trail that runs through Winter Haven, and investigators suspect she was murdered.
Detectives are still trying to sort out all the details, but they say the body of 18-year-old Alicia Barnett was found along the trail in front of Carefree Cove.
Barnett was a student at New Beginnings High School in Winter Haven.
"There were obvious signs of trauma," said Gary Hester of Winter Haven police. "That and based off of some of the reports we got from the individual who located the victim, there's no doubt in our mind that we have a homicide here."
Police got the report around 8 a.m. She was found only about 15 to 20 feet off the trail.
"At this point, we can't rule out that it was a random act. But we certainly can't rule out that it wasn't someone who knew her and was potentially known to her," Police Chief Gary Hester told FOX 13 just hours after the murder.
Investigators are not saying how she was killed, just that it clearly was foul play.
Barnett was on her way to New Beginnings, a charter school about half a mile away from where she died.
After school officials found out what happened, they locked down the school, and canceled afternoon classes.
"Not only did she have a positive attitude," said her principal Ashlee Wright. "She was a joy just to be around."
The school will have grief counselors on campus Tuesday morning.
In the meantime, police are beefing up their patrols on the trail and advising people who use it to be extra cautious, and report anything suspicious.

BELOIT, WI (WTAQ) - A newly-released video shows Wisconsin business leaders explaining how the state should do more to attract new companies and keep the ones that are here.
The State Journal of Madison used the state Open Records Law to obtain a video of a December 9th meeting in Beloit hosted by Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and Revenue Secretary Rick Chandler.
A Beloit Daily News reporter was locked out of most of the session, as officials said they wanted to hear business leaders speak their minds.
About 30 business people were on hand. They called for lower income and property taxes, a higher sales tax, more business loans that did not have to be paid back, looser rules on tax credits, and a simpler tax code.
The video showed accounting firm partner Kory Stoehr saying that other states offer his business clients millions in tax incentives, and, "luxurious" perks like helicopter rides.
Kleefisch drew the line there, saying that taxpayers don't want to see state officials wining and dining prospective companies. Kleefisch said the Walker administration was passionate about being accountable to the people who pay the bills.
The closed door meeting attracted a lot of controversy. Kleefisch vowed that similar sessions in the future would be open to reporters.

Earthy and brambley nose with medium intensity. Blood orange, fresh, tannin-laced. Tastes a tad over-oaked. Not a lot of oomph. Baking tray, limestone gratings and dried mussel shell. Surprisingly astringent. Not showing its full potential now, I hope it improves because a Cote de Beaune 2009 red should be rich, plump and showy like a Venezuelan beauty queen. Scores 21/30 for a Chassagne.
Tasting notes from David Metcalfe and friends

Auxey-Duresses 2007, Henri Darnat
When I last tasted this wine in August 2010 I noted that it was 'more Socrates than Rabelais'. But now, the cheeky side of this wine is coming to the fore although not with a Gargantuan structure. Lovely mature white Burgundy nose of truffle, buttered leeks, warm hay and almonds. Very fine, fancy even. This Auxey-Duresses, once linear and tight, has really filled out on the palate. Savoury, nutty and succulent. Flavours stroke and linger on the cheeks. This is wonderful old school Burgundy which many would enjoy but few would truely understand. Scores 27/30 for an Auxey-Duresses. Drinking now for another 2 years and I am glad I still have a small stock left! As I taste deeper into the bottle this merits 29/30. Stunning.

Eola-Amity Hills 2012, Montebruno
Wikipedia informs us that "The Eola-Amity Hills AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in Polk County and Yamhill County, Oregon. It is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, and stretches from the city of Amity in the north to Salem in the south." So transferring this to Burgundy-speak the appellation is "Eola-Amity Hills" in the region of the Willamette Valley (roughly equivalent to the Cote d'Or). The wine has a rich dark red colour, somewhat reminiscent of Peterhouse Red. A vibrant nose of blueberries, black currants and huckleberries with background green pepper. Decent fruit breadth, still on the blacks and blues with a savoury touch, a pleasant feature for an Oregon pinot which I find can often be too jammy. Well-balanced and flavourful this Eola-Amity Hills has good complexity on the nose and lacks only more length and interest on the palate. Scores 24/30 for an Eola-Amity Hills.

Saint-Romain 2010, Olivier Leflaive
I have been stung into action by soft criticism from Ammar Al Gevrey relating to the complete lack of tasting notes since late 2013! I am afraid that having moved to Manhattan and been separated from my Burgundy cellar I have lost the glugging habit. Good for the health, bad for the temperament. This Saint-Romain from the successful 2010 vintage has a light, steely colour. I was not impressed to see a plastic cork on this wine having had some bad experiences with Capitain-Gagnerot wines enclosed with the same. An initial whiff of flint stone gives way to citrus and Cox's apple. The flint evolves into a chalky note. The aromatic profile is flat. Medium plus acidity, dry and linear. This Saint-Romain is taut, tangy and short like a Chinese gymnast. Too evocative of celery and apple to be considered a flag bearer for the appellation and not on a par with the likes of "Fat" Alain Gras. Serve with caesar salad, walnuts or leek fritters. Scores 21/30 for the Saint-Romain appellation.

Willamette Valley "Thea's Select" 2011, Lemelson Vineyards
I confess I bought this bottle because I really like the label which shows a bucolic vineyard scene with hints of van Gogh. Served in a solid bottle this pinot noir from the reliable Willamette Valley has a really engaging blueberry, cinnamon and plum nose. Sweet without being jammy, the spices beautifully complement the wild berry fruits. Lovely. Lively, woodland berry flavours continue on the palate. The focus on the freshness has been achieved with a reduction in concentration but this is overall a pleasant, enticing and very enjoyable wine. Happily comes in at just 13% alcohol which preserves the elegance of the pinot noir. Scores 23/30 for a Willamette Valley.

Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru " " 2011, Comte Armand
This is a blended premier cru and does not therefore merit a lieu-dit name. The hamlet of Auxey is tucked behind Meursault en route to Saint-Romain -- a great cycling valley if you are tempted. And the beauty of the tributary valley translates into an incredibly pretty, gamine nose. Violets, blueberries, vanilla, so coquette! There is evolution to the comingled blackberry and apple juice. Surprisingly linear, fresh and raspberry-driven on the palate with a strong dose of blood orange. Elegance requires substance so I would call this willowy and a touch severe. To be retasted in 3 years when it may have added weight. Scores 21/30 for an Auxey premier cru. Could reach 26/30 in the future but 2011 is a light vintage my friends.

Oregon "Love Oregon" Pinot Noir 2010, R Stuart & Co
As I learn the ropes of wine-buying in the US I am putting to one side my preference for classic labels and terroir-only appellations. Here is the evidence a bottle of "Love, Oregon" 2010 pinot noir. "Pathetic" as the sage of Walden Tom Cobbold would say. This pinot noir from R Stuart & Co in Oregon has a plesant nose of blueberry, cooked rhubarb and strawberry. There is faint background plum. A pleasant bouquet. Ignoring the slight fizz in the glass this wine has good linearity, freshness and raspberry fruit. The structure is dainty. Simple and not too fruity. Dare I say that this is a pinot noir aperitif? Scores 20/30 for an Oregon pinot noir.

Bourgogne Blanc "Cuvée Oligocène" 2010, Patrick Javillier
This white Burgundy has a lovely nose dominated by orange blossom and orange sponge cake. Here is sweetness, there is freshness. A touch of garden mint, lemon and marzipan. Beautiful poise on the nose. Full citrus flavours, satisfying breadth and an enlivening pithy finish. Perfectly constructed. Could age gracefully for another 3-5 years. Scores 27-28/30 for a Bourgogne blanc.

Chassagne-Montrachet 2008, Bachelet-Ramonet
In recent years 2008 has emerged as one of the superior vintages for chardonnay from the Côte d'Or. It has a lovely combination of freshness, ripe stone fruit flavours and an edge of complexity. This Chassagne 2008 from Domaine Bachelet-Ramonet tries to squeeze too much out of this attractive millésime, I asssume due to yields being slightly higher than would be preferred for top quality. The nose of orange and asparagus with a touch of almond is strangely quiet, like a muted violin. Not something one expects on a wine with 5 years. Pleasant orange and apple fruit on the palate with good initial impact but no length to speak of. Not a stylish wine and underperforms for the 2008 vintage. Unexciting. Inexpensive though compared to the top 20 Chassagne producers. Scores 19-21/30 for a Chassagne.

Santenay 1er Cru "Les Gravières" 2007, Bernard Morey
We visited this domaine, located in the vineyards between Chassagne and Santenay in July 2009. There had been some confusion as to whether the tasting was with Benard Moreau or Bernard Morey. A frequent problem on Burgundy tasting tours for people with brains addled by pinot. I remember the wines being fruit-driven, round and friendly. This Santenay premier cru is on the mid-to-lower slope on the northern side of the village near Chassagne. There is cherry here, some cassis, good berry ripeness, shoe polish (tan), damp straw, quail droppings and freshly-rained on gravel. Tasty cherry and plum fruit with a lacing of tart cassis. This Santenay does a good job of capturing the freshness of the 2007 vintage and has a refreshing length. An all round good egg. Impresses more than the wines tried at the domaine. Scores 24-25/30 for a Santenay premier cru. Photo shows the Gravieres vineyard falling away from the Santenay windmill.

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2008, Patrick Javillier
Tasted on a very warm evening in the rather too warm dining room of L'Aventure off the Abbey Road in London this Corton-Charlemagne was very pleasing to drink although suffered from premature oxidation in both colour and aroma. Very open on the nose, the Bourgoblog team identified marzipan, almonds, white peach, orange blossom and a hint of madeira. Much fresher on the palate than the slightly premoxy nose would suggest, we enjoyed the pear and peach flavours which had depth and expressed a sense of luxe. More richesse than finesse. This Javillier offering scores 22-24/30 for a Corton-Charlemagne. We imagine the premox is the result of poor cellaring.
Labels: Corton-Charlemagne
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2008, Domaine Arlaud
The Bourgoblog team visited the hidden gem of north west London's restaurant scene, L'Aventure, as part of a bottle distribution evening. Whilst the restaurant's wine list is not large it does burst with gems of wines. This Charmes-Chambertin 2008 from the Domaine Arlaud turned out to be such a fine specimen that we ordered a second cheese course as an excuse for a second bottle. Why is this wine spectacular? It has an incredible, enthralling multi-layered nose that is tempting and beguiling. There is perfume, vanilla, pomegranate, rye bread, bramble and raspberry. This is a pinot nose which is philosophical and deep. Offers so much now, and promises even more in the future. This 2008 grand cru is velvety, lively, fresh and concentrated on the palate. It is obviously a grand cru wine with thoroughbred breeding. This Charmes-Chambertin evolved over two hours and retained its character in full. Perfect pinot, as one of the tasters said. Scores 26-28/30 for a Gevrey grand cru.

Saint-Véran 2011, Thibert Père & Fils
By the standards of the Côte d'Or (against which all vineyards must be measured) the Saint-Véran appellation is a giant sea of vines: 645 hectares. This compares with just 394 hectares for Meursault. The maximum permissible yield in Saint-Véran is 55 hectoliters per hectare versus 45 hectoliters for white wine on the Côte d'Or. What do all these numbers add up to? Vineyard exposition and yield management have a huge impact on quality in Saint-Véran. This 2011 from Domaine Thibert is cool and lacking in kick on the nose, slight hints of cucumber and lemon. This is partly due to its youth. Good texture, lively citrus and pear fruit on the palate. Narrow yet with length. This could evolve into something interesting with more weight. Requires at least 2 years to open up. Scores 19-23 / 30 for a Saint-Véran.
Labels: Saint-Véran
Monday, July 29, 2013
Fixin "Les Herbues" 2009, Michel Defrance
Fixin is a one of the small, unsung villages of the Côte d'Or located to the north of big brother Gevrey-Chambertin. One assumes the village does not consider it has a top tier lieu dit since it has not taken the double-barreled rebranding route like so many of its Côte de Nuits cousins. This Fixin from the rich 2009 vintage has a ripe earthy nose of cherry, lamb chops, aniseed, dried thyme and mint tea. Chewy plum fruit on the palate with breadth but no length to speak of. Rustic charm with a loofa-like texture - this wine is true to the terroir and is not jumped up. Scores 20-22/30 for a Fixin. Photo shows Fixin in the distance in July 2011.
Labels: Fixin
Pierre & Jean, Chagny
Sometimes a new restaurant gets everything right -- but rarely. I am delighted to say that Pierre & Jean, the bistrot across the road from its illustrious parent Maison Lameloise, is one of those rare examples. We visited Pierre & Jean on the recommendation of at least five different vignerons in Meursault and Puligny. We opted for the phenonmenallly good value weekday lunch menu for 29 euro. After trying the reviving house aperitif we moved onto the pâté en croûte tradition which redefined what can be a tired dish with the gelée de Porto et Madère. We appreciated the genuinely Burgundian portion (but regretted it later). The carpaccio de veau, vinaigrette aux câpres capron avec parmesan was substantial and interesting. Not on a par with the marvellous pâté en croûte though. Since this was a lunch we both ordered fish: one filet de dorade and the other the merlu en croûte de riz soufflé, bouillon de crevettes grises à la citronnelle. As often happens with the best French restaurants, it is the accompanying ingredients that star not the focus of the dish. The bouillon de crevettes was intense and spicy. Meanwhile the gnocchis de pommes de terre à l'estragon were consumed without pause by a non-potato eater and the caviar d'aubergine stretched the potential of this grand vegetable with the waiter claiming it was nothing but an overn-roasted aubergine with salt and pepper. To finish the sorbets of cassis and framboise as well as a caramel ice cream were divinely cooling on a very hot summer day. The only semi-success was the melon and crème citron sur un biscuit pain de Gênes. We'd had superior melon the day before from the Chalon-sur-Saone market and the biscuit was chewy. Throw in a half bottle of Saint-Romain and a bottle of the much-improved (less salty) Badoit and one can hardly believe it is legally possible to serve such sublime food for 45 euro a head with impeccable service. Just one problem, the wine list is exceptionally short for such a fine restaurant. The door is half-ajar to paying a droit de bouchon but the ten or so Côte Chalonnaise wines and a smattering of Côte d'Or wines do not cut the mustard.

Saint-Véran "Les Crais" 2011, Domaine Cordier Père & Fils
The lay of the land in Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé is very attractive. The hills are twice as high as those of the Côte d'Or, steeper too, providing wonderful views as far as Mont Blanc if you are an early riser. The vignerons say that if you can see the snowy peaks of the Alps then bad weather is in store. Domaine Cordier is a recognized high quality producer in the region and this Saint-Véran is an enjoyable if not spectacular wine. Typical aromas of globe courgette, melon and apple. That pleasing combination of ripeness and freshness on the palate, there is weight on this wine of the Maconnais. Apple and ginger flavours. Has personality though not much style. Scores 19-22/30 for a Satin-Véran. Likely to be more interesting in late 2014. I am unsure about the price difference but this is definitely a poor cousin of the Clos du Four 2011 from Lafon. Photo shows ecological protesters in a Saint-Véran vineyard.
Labels: Saint-Véran
Bourgogne Blanc 2011, Nicolas Potel
Drinking this simple Bourgogne blanc from the Nuits St Georges based négoçiant Nicolas Potel made me realize how accustomed my olfactory senses have become to fine white Burgundies with medium to full bodies and 13% alcohol. Whilst correctly made, this is very much a wine for undergraduates who are unfamiliar with Meursault. A light hay colour, a somewhat mean nose of lemon, nettle and pine. Tight, fresh and short. The taste of the valley floor and high yields. Fair enough for what it is, but does not compare with the Bourgogne blancs made by family-owned domaines. Scores 17-19/30 for a Bourgogne blanc.

Volnay 2009, Bitouzet-Prieur
Was 2009 the stand out vintage that the wine media claimed it to be? No. Lots of sunshine does not deliver complex and fascinating red Burgundies... and certainly not white Burgundies. Lots of sunshine results in very pleasant, early-drinking fruit-driven wines. This Volnay 2009 from the highly respected Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is true to the vintage. A fragrant nose of black cherry, ripe strawberry and plum jam. Succulent, delicious and tangy on the finish. Very enjoyable, well-made, flawless but no mystique. Scores 21-23/30 for a Volnay. The 2008s will be incomparably better. Photo shows Volnay viewed from the hill behind the village in July 2011.

Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru "Les Vercots" 2011, Tollot-Beaut
Another wine tasted at the domaine in early July, this Aloxe won many plaudits from the Bourgoblog tasting team. Strawberry, cherry, vanilla and violet aromas. This Aloxe is very pretty. Half of the vines are from 1928 which will tend to give more concentration and half are young vines which often translates into a more floral, elegant nose. Reflecting the 1928 vines, this Aloxe has superb velvety texture, depth and seriousness. The palate adds baritone and tenor to the soprano on the nose. Intellectually engaging to boot, this Aloxe 1er Cru evolves from trapezium, to cylinder and then to cube on the palate. Try the wine and think about it! An exceptionally good wine. Scores 29/30 for an Aloxe 1er cru. Photo shows Aloxe vineyards above the village in August 2011.
Labels: Aloxe-Corton
Monday, July 22, 2013
Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru "Champ-Chevrey" 2011, Tollot-Beaut
Savigny has some ancient vineyards such as "La Dominode" from Bruno Clair and these Tollot-Beaut vines were planted in 1954 which makes them genuine vieilles vignes. Inital aroma of groseille, red apple. The nose plays hide and seek with my taste buds -- still needs another 18 months in the bottle to open up. There is a touch of raspberry and vanilla. Then expands onto plum. This Savigny 1er Cru from the fresh 2011 vintage is concentrated, structured, long and fresh. Promises to be a complex wine in 5 years time. Scores 23-25/30 for a Savigny 1er Cru. Photo shows a laden red currant (groseille) bush in the jardin potager of the Château de Sully.

Since the government shutdown, public opinion of the Republican Party has hit a new low. Yet the Democrats might not be able to gain from it. Despite the GOP's fall from grace — and even if they suffer a lower vote count in the 2014 midterm elections — the Republicans might still control the House of Representatives and many state legislatures after the polls close.
Our Constitution is unique in that it gives state legislatures virtually complete control over how we elect the president and Congress. In other democracies, the national government runs elections, usually through an impartial commission. Our system, however, lets the party that controls the state legislatures manipulate election rules to help itself and harm its opponents in both the state and House races.
Realizing this, powerful Republican leaders, including former Bush White House Counselor Ed Gillespie and Senior Adviser Karl Rove decided in 2009 to concentrate on winning control of the state legislatures. Through a combination of money, luck and skill, in 2010 the Republicans captured almost a majority of the state legislatures, and then added a few more in 2012. This has given them the power not only to shape the electoral rules and control the House, but also to pass other laws that shape many aspects of our lives.
The public outrage at the Republicans for the government shutdown and the debt ceiling crisis, however, offers the Democrats an opportunity to regain control of some state legislatures. This will require a great deal of money and hard work — and it is the national Democratic Party that has the resources to do this. Democratic national leaders, however, seem to consider that the only elected offices worth seeking are in Washington.
Whether the national organization will be willing and able to pivot to something they have ignored for so long is problematic. But they must act, for a comparable opportunity is unlikely for a long time. Otherwise, gridlock may continue.

Yonsei University is located in Seoul, South Korea. Within the proximity of the area there are four universities, including Yonsei. Seoul is an extremely active college town. It is also very crowded; in fact it is densely populated. Within the city there are many cafes, stores, theaters, restaurants and clubs.
Yonsei is one of the elite schools of Korea-the second best university behind Seoul National University. Yonsei has outstanding Business, Medical, Dental and Music programs in the nation.
Each class is held one day a week for three hours at a time. Most classes are held twice a week. Usually a 2 hour lecture class as well as a one hour discussion period. There are many special lectures by Korean politicians; an example was the "Reunification of Korea" lecture that was done by a Korean National Assembly member.
Academics (Top)
Most classes at Yonsei are usually held twice a week or once a week, depending on the professor. Most professors are Korean natives who conduct their classes in English. Most are really good teachers, but some have a really thick accent. That is the down side because most of the courses for IP students are on the "same professor teaching the same course" basis. Therefore, if there's a required course that you have to take but don't like the professor whose teaching it, you're stuck. You have no other choice but to take that course from the professor who teaches it because there aren't two professors teaching the same course in the IP program at Yonsei. Some classes are quite tough and others are a breeze, but if you keep up with the pace, do all the assignments, and attend class regularly, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. As an IP student, unless you are already proficient at Korean, you are required to take a Korean language course. This is a 6-unit course, which is conducted everyday for two hours. Even though it's held every day, most students find it very enjoyable because everything that's learned in class is applicable outside of class. You usually have two professors: one for vocabulary and grammar and the other one is for reading. You are also permitted a certain number of absences. The maximum number of hours you can miss is about 32 hours, which means you can safely miss once a week. However, if you miss too many classes, it can be difficult to make up. The KLI (Korean Language institute) class moves at a pretty slow speed especially below the intermediate level so don't be afraid to ask to be moved to a higher level. The grade consists primarily of the midterm, final, and a very small amount on vocab tests. The Korean professors also rarely speak much English. However, if you attend class regularly and study hard, it becomes much easier throughout the semester.
The majority of the International Division professors studied and received their postgraduate degrees in the United States. Most of the classes are taught in a somewhat informal matter. They try to meet the needs of international students, but at the same time, they live in a society that has a tradition of teaching by making students memorize and sit in class without asking questions. Some native Korean students take classes and one will notice that they tend to be more respectful to the teacher and will not ask many questions. This should not discourage the student, since the professors are willing to answer all questions. One has to take into account that teachers and professors are highly respected in Korea, and being early is part of showing the professor respect.
Most classes are not difficult, although there will be teachers that have high expectations of students. Some teachers will try to maintain the same style of teaching they use with Korean students. These teachers will expect students to know some important points from books and lectures. Other teachers will assign research, which usually is done through the Internet. If there is any homework assigned most will be in the form of book readings, with some memorization and papers that are 2-3 pages long. I have found that homework varies from professor to professor, as at any university. Papers can be anywhere between 3 - 15 pages long in length. There aren't really any standard curriculums. It tends to vary on a class to class basis. Most classes also have a heavy emphasis on presentations.
Yonsei offers many classes related to East Asian History, Politics, Culture, and Art, which makes it an excellent place for any student who is interested in East Asia. Most classes will have a midterm and a final, but do not be surprised if a professor has higher or lower standards.
School Life and Atmosphere (Top)
Living on campus at Yonsei gives you many opportunities to meet locals and the convenience of being near a subway. There are many different clubs at Yonsei, which you may join, including the soccer club, the International Yonsei Club, and even the Eons American Football club.
It's good and necessary to get involved in some way socially but you should know that I.Y.C (International Yonsei Club) and Mentors clubs are primarily created by and for younger students. If you feel isolated inside those clubs remember there are deep cultural differences that take getting used to. Remember the college atmosphere and maturity level in general is light years different from U.S. Campuses. I recommend keeping a lower profile of yourself until you are familiar with the social setting. Yonsei Global in particular is a great organization, the primary official organization underneath UIC. Yonsei Global has many different cultural days, such as Thailand & Africa day where they have dress up, have food, and other forms of representing various countries.
The international division staff has several field trips to different places in Korea. The trips are usually cheap and many international students participate. I would recommend attending some of the very early events in order to get to know other international students.
There are many bars and restaurants located near Yonsei, especially on the side of the large road opposite the large church you see on the main street to Yonsei . Bars in this area are usually cheaper than those located near Ewha University, in Hongdae, and especially Kangnam. Kangnam, a higher class area, is more expensive and caters to an upper 20's age range with upgraded fashion vs. what you see in Sinchon and Hongdae.
Hop-Soju bars are Korean drinking places that do usually require ordering a side dish, so take your pick There are pubs that serve traditional alcoholic drinks, like Soju and Macholy. Domestic beer is cheap, usually around 3000KRW while import beers are expensive, generally starting at 6000 KRW. Most bars in Sinchon, Hongdae, and Kangnam do not require you to order a side dish, AKA ahn-joo. You can find a variety of bars with all different themes and atmospheres. The underground bars usually have a particularly chill mood. There are club nights in Hongdae, usually the last Friday of the month, where for 20,000 KRW you get admission to a wide variety of clubs which is good for an all-nighter once in awhile.
Most Koreans will recognize that foreigners are not accustomed to Korean conventions, but it is a good way to participate with the rest of society. Bars are open until sunrise and it is common to see people taking the subway or taking a taxi around this time. Yonsei University is a very safe place thus one can walk down the street at 3:00 am without being approached or mugged. Be aware that wherever you are on the subway, it will shut down at midnight. For example, if you live forty minutes away from your current stop, board the train by the very latest, 11:20. Also, cabs, which during daytime hours start at 1900 KRW start charging a higher rate after midnight. Even so, they are fairly inexpensive. You should be warned that it is difficult coming back from Hongdae late at night by taxi because they don't want to take you such a short distance, just keep asking taxi's and eventually you'll find someone to take you. Sinchon (the district where Yonsei is located near) is very safe but it is still recommended not to walk around by yourself at night as there was a recent incident where two girls were kidnapped, although those incidents are very rare.
When going to a restaurant you will most likely be treated with utmost respect, and it is not unusual to get "service," which is other things besides what you order. This is done to guarantee a repeat customer. Always show appreciation for this kindness.
Postal Service (Top)
The Korean Post Office is cheap and very efficient, thus students can send packages back home at low rates, especially sending by boat. Besides what is the hurry, you will be in Korea for 11 months.
Yonsei University has an International dorm where IP students stay, however space is limited because of student demand. For students who favor convenience over privacy, I recommend living in the dorm because the library, bookstore, classrooms, gymnasium, cafeteria, and most of the school's facilities are within walking distance. In the dorms, students share a room with another international student. All rooms are the same size. They come with a bed, a desk, a personal closet and a couple of shelves. Every room has LAN, a network system that lets all students have fast Internet access. There are also different electric switches for students that bring a laptop, or a small radio. There is an air-conditioner, and a heater, and both work excellently during the hot summers and cold winters. Although it is very convenient, be warned that the dorm rooms are very small. There is also free laundry at the dorm, but there aren't very many machines so sometimes you have to do your laundry at very odd hours of the night. And it's usually a good idea to keep an eye on your belongings.
The dormitory building has five floors, the first floor is the lobby, and where the computer room is located. The second and third and part of the fourth floors are for women only, and the other half of the fourth and fifth floor are for men. The international division tries to apply the rules it has in other dormitories to the international dormitory, which is not always so successful. Dorm life can be really fun, however it can also be stressful sometimes because with all the other students around, it's hard to find your own space.
There was a curfew, but these days there is no set time as to when students are allowed to return to dormitories. Mainly because there has been a new finger print system in the dormitories that reads the index finger print of those living in the dorms. Every floor is divided into two halls, and each hall has a bathroom. In every bathroom, there are several sinks that are supplied with soap. There are several toilets as well. Showers are located within the bathroom but in their own separate rooms. Each shower has a curtain, and up to five people can be showering. There is cold and hot water. There is a lounge in every hall that has a television and a refrigerator and a water filtration system that gives hot and cold water.
There is no cooking allowed in the dormitories, but one can usually buy instant foods and make them in the dorms. It is highly recommended to eat them in the television rooms. Living in Korea one realizes that groceries are expensive and that eating in cheap restaurants or the school cafeteria beats any home cooking or instant food.
For students who favor privacy, a "Boarding House" (Hasuk) is another alternative - the monthly fee usually runs around $400 US. It's quite comfortable living in a boarding house because you get to have your own room, and at most boarding houses, food is provided, which is great if you're looking forward to saving a couple bucks. Usually there is a communal bathroom. The down side to most boarding houses is that they only have washing machines, no dryers. Most Koreans prefer hanging their clothes, they don't really use the drying machine much in this country. Most boarding houses don't provide Internet access, but there's no problem connecting it; the fee is an extra $20 monthly. The Internet speed in Korea is unbelievable, and from what I've heard, Korea is among the countries with the fastest online connection in the world! So far I haven't used anything that's slower than the DSL that we have back home in the U.S. There are different types of boarding houses and the price ranges are in accordance to the facilities provided. Boarding houses are everywhere around the school's district, but most of the signs are in Korean, so if you don't speak Korean or don't have anyone to help you look for these places, you should come here at least 2 weeks in advance of the orientation date so that the staff can help you arrange something. Make sure your landlady is friendly. It can make your stay far more pleasant if so.
There are two other options as well. You can stay in a "livingtel" which is a tiny room that can either come with or without a bathroom. These rooms are incredibly small though. Usually these are inhabited by local Koreans who live too far to commute. I believe it's about 550,000 won for a room with a bathroom. About 400,000 won without. They usually come equipped with a desk, a closet, a television, and a small refrigerator. If you can, try to get a room in a boarding house (mentioned above) it is way more bang for your buck. Another option is getting an apartment but that requires that you know how to speak Korean well or know someone else who does. Don't be fooled by listings with low rent. Usually that means there is a high deposit. It usually works vice versa too meaning if there is a higher monthly rent, then there is usually a lower deposit.
Climate (Top)
Korea has four distinct seasons, which make it convenient for many people. In the fall, hiking trips are the best because the weather is cooler and the leaves begin to change colors making the landscape beautiful. The fall is the shortest season in Korea. In the winter it snows, and many ski resorts open up. The closest one to Seoul is about an hour away. In spring the weather begins to warm up again, which enables you to travel to any place you wish. Late spring is the time when campsites and beaches begin to open. Summer is hot and it rains a lot, thus traveling is somewhat inconvenient but one can always find something to do. The summer is also very humid and the hot weather usually attracts a lot of mosquitos. If you are into eating raw fish, the best time to do so is in the fall, winter or early spring. During the summer, fish is susceptible to contamination.
Telephones (Top)
By studying and living in South Korea, you will quickly realize that most people use cellular phones, or "hand phones." They are cheap and there are various services offered. You can buy a used hand phone for 20 dollars, and pay a $20-30 for monthly service. There are hand phones that you pay for a monthly service charge and those that you add money to, which gives you a certain amount of minutes. Most hand phones receive phone calls at no charge, and some can receive international calls. Public telephones are not common anymore, and it is rare to find coin-operated telephones. If you wish to use public phones, buying a phone card, specifically for public phone use, would come in handy. You should try to make a Korean friend to take with you to get a cell phone otherwise they may try to rip you off. It is usually a better deal to get a contract because adding minutes to your phone is really expensive.
Transportation (Top)
Seoul is a very crowded city with not just people, but cars as well. The streets are always stacked with buses, taxis, and cars that drive around looking for parking spaces. Most students walk to school but whenever there's the need to commute, or travel to any places around town, the subway is most popular. Seoul has a state of the art railway system with eight different tracks running all over the city from 5:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Wherever you are, subways close at midnight. Meaning if you have a forty minute ride to get home, get on the train by the very latest 11:20. Also, cabs start charging a higher rate after midnight. Even so, they are fairly inexpensive. Although you should be warned that sometimes cabs are weary of picking you up if you have a very short distance to go.
Foreigners usually have no problem finding their way around town by using the subway because along every subway station, maps of the subway can be found - all have English translations. The subway fares are fairly cheap comparing to our Bart transportation fee at home in San Francisco. The cost varies depending on the destination; however, the normal fee is only around $1 US. Usually students don't have much trouble with traveling around town because the Yonsei staff provides them with a lot of traveling information and advise at orientation.
Korea's public transportation systems work incredibly well. The buses are also very simple to use. Your Yonsei ID card also serves as a transportation card. At the subway station you can add money to your ID card in order to use it to pay for the subway and buses. You can either use the machines provided or if you can't figure it out, you can go to the info desk.
Traveling (Top)
Traveling throughout South Korea can be cheap or expensive, depending on where you want to go. There are trains and express busses that can take you just about anywhere. It's best to know a little Korean if you travel. By the time you are done with the first semester in Yonsei you will be able to travel by yourself and be able to go anywhere you wish.
There are many places to go sightseeing within Seoul. You can also take short, one-day trips around Seoul and see lots of amazing places. The Han River is 15 minutes away from Sinchon Station. Most of the theme parks are located in Seoul and can be reached through the Subway. Museums and palaces are mostly located in Downtown. The cities outside Seoul make great places to travel: Ilsan, Suwon, and Incheon.
Food and Beverage Expenditures (Top)
Food is great here. It's cheap and it's quite tasty; some students here tend to have the urge to eat a little more because of that. Seoul is a globalized city where you can find many Indian, Mexican, Italian, and Chinese restaurants, and there's always McDonald's, of course, along with KFC, TGI Friday's and more... The hamburgers and fries that people have here taste exactly the same as the hamburgers and the fries at home, and the food prices for those kinds of restaurants are comparable to ours.
The biggest expenses a student can expect to incur are for food and drinks, unless you do a lot of extracurricular social drinking and/or traveling already. Yonsei University's campus has two or three student cafeterias on campus. A student can expect to pay on average for a cafeteria meal around 2,000 to 3,000 Won, which is roughly about US $1.50 to $3.00 per meal. The quality of the food is what you can expect from a student cafeteria. However, if you decide to venture out into Sinchon where all the restaurants and "HOFS" (small like coffee houses and pubs that offer a limited food menu and drinks) are located, you can expect to pay around 3,500 to 20,00 Won, or about US $3.00 to $17.00 per meal. The food is much better but somewhat more expensive depending on where you go for a meal. International cuisine tends to be more expensive, however the quality and authenticity can be questionable.
If your primary concern is adhering to a tight budget, then eating at a HOF is cheaper than most restaurants. Cold beverages such as Coca Cola, Mountain Dew, Chilsun Cider (Sprite), and other various drinks are quite cheap in comparison. A person can expect to pay about 450 to 500 Won for a small can of soda pop or flavored water. There are many beverage vending machines available inside and outside of the classrooms. A cup of coffee inside a HOF will cost you 4,500 Won or US $3.50, which is quite expensive, but you get free refills. South Korea also offers many fast food chain restaurants. For example, a student can eat chicken at Popeye's or Kentucky Fried Chicken for a modest Won 3,400 to 6,000, or US $2.60 to $4.60. There are two popular and familiar cheeseburger fast food restaurants in Korea: McDonalds and Burger King. You can expect to pay roughly the same as you would as the previously mentioned for a combination meal complemented by free refills.
Shopping (Top)
You may already know that Seoul is among the most expensive cities in the world to shop in. It's true, especially when it comes to brand name clothes, shoes, accessories or electronic devices, so don't even think about going on a shopping spree when you get here. But thank goodness there are many different kinds of stores around the Yonsei area. Besides the huge department stores where most brand name (expensive) "high quality" stuff gets sold, it's not impossible to find stores around Yonsei that sell things which are more affordable. Watch out for cheap quality goods though. Also, you are able to haggle down most prices as they are usually trying to sell you things at the most expensive price possible.
Discrimination (Top)
Korea is a homogenous society that has a history of being colonized. In addition, their society is based on a Confucius ideology. This can sometimes be a cause of discrimination, since one is not part of their society and one is not "one of them." But don't worry, Koreans will usually be respectful and even be helpful if you are in need of help.
Recently (2002) there has been controversy arising from the high number of educated people. Most people in Korea do not want to work in agriculture or in factories. Thus, most companies either hire illegal workers or import-contracted workers from other countries. There are illegal workers in Korea from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and India, and therefore, there is a stereotype that these people are low class. They tend not to look favorably at African people, simply because they are darker. However, this is the general attitude they have with anyone who has dark skin. Recently (in 2002), there has been a string of bank robberies by Peruvian people who have migrated illegally to Korea. Thus, some Koreans might have negative feelings towards people from South America. Since Korea is a homogenous society, people tend to make generalizations of other groups of people. This can be a great opportunity to teach people about the diversity of the world and that not everything one believes to be true is true.
Koreans tend to be very nationalistic because of their recent past, thus they tend not to like the U.S.'s military presence. There have been several instances where US soldiers have murdered, raped and committed crimes against Koreans, thus sometimes people will be very unfriendly towards Americans. This mostly occurs when the U.S. military has committed some crime and it has made it into the news. Usually, Koreans are not hostile towards any foreigner, but one may receive looks. Hostility only arises at bars when people are drunk and one instigates an argument. Sometimes it is just better to be with people you already know.
If you date a Korean some people might frown upon it, or give you looks. Usually, Korean men have bad attitudes about foreigners dating Korean women. Sometimes they will approach and ask questions about how long you have known each other and how long have you been dating. Some Koreans are very conservative when it comes to dating and thus do not like to see Koreans dating others. These types of discrimination are extreme cases, most Koreans will always be surprised to meet a foreigner who speaks Korean, or is interested in their culture. For them, it is an honor to have someone study their culture, so please understand that we are visitors of their country. They respect the elderly and expect all younger people to show respect to those older than themselves.
However some of us haven't noticed any sort of outright discrimination. If anything, most people are friendlier to you if you are a foreigner. Oftentimes, people will strike up conversations with you to practice their English skills. And depending on how small of a town you visit, sometimes they ask to take a picture with you. Seoul is pretty international, so you are not very likely to get harassed. They are used to seeing foreigners. There are tons of students studying abroad and English teachers throughout Korea. Although I would be weary of overfriendly older gentlemen. Play each situation out by ear.
Books (Top)
Yonsei University's bookstore is located near the student union. As you can imagine, most books are in Hangul (Korean language). A very small section is reserved for Western English books. A student can find several business-related books on Management, Economics, Marketing, and Statistics for Business. Other books in English are available at a popular bookstore called Kyobo Bookstore. This large and crowded bookstore has one location approximately 20 minutes by subway from Sinchon or Yonsei University. The Kyobo Bookstore offers many more Western English books than Yonsei's bookstore.
The cost of books is quite noticeably cheaper in Korea. It is difficult to estimate what books may cost because they all differ in price. Therefore, the following is not a definitive itemization, but more of an approximation of what a student can expect for book expenditures on a semester basis. The Korean Language classes require about 3 textbooks that cost about 25,000 to 30,000 Won, or US $19.00 to $23.00. Business students can expect to pay somewhere around 89,000 Won for 3 or 4 small to big size textbooks, or US $68.50. This is much cheaper than purchasing books in the USA. Sometimes a professor may ask his or her students to purchase supplementary reading materials that can cost around 5,000 to 10,000 Won, or US $3.80 to $7.70.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Melinda Myers is teaching us how to create a living centerpiece using plants suited to small containers, the growing conditions and your decor.
All you need are three matching saucers of increasingly larger sizes, two small pots, outdoor plastic glue, a well-drained potting mix and small scale flowers.
After you have all of your materials, drill holes in the bottom of the saucers for drainage. Melinda recommends purchasing an extra one to protect your table from the water.
Once the holes are drilled, glue the pots onto the saucers and allow time to dry. To leave room for your plants, only partially fill the saucers with potting mix. Make sure all the roots are covered when setting the plants in the soil.
Melinda suggests using sweet alyssum for the fragrance and a dwarf impatiens to add more color.

A Cedar Rapids man who was a suspect in a chase on Saturday, was arrested after police say he walked away from the hospital.
Sergeant Cristy Hamblin says officers saw 30-year-old Clifton Sparks driving on Saturday. Hamblin says he was known to have a warrant for driving while barred.
Officers say when they tried to stop Sparks in the 1400 block of 1st Avenue East, he refused to stop.
Officers say Sparks headed south in the 100 block of 14th Street SE going 40 mph in a 25 mph zone. They say he then ran a stop sign at 2nd Avenue and 14th Street SE and another one at 3rd Avenue and 14th Street SE before turning into an alley between Bever Avenue and Washington Avenue. Officers say he was then driving 45 mph in a 15 mph zone.
Hamblin says Sparks then collided with a city bus at 15th Street SE after he failed to yield. The collision sent Sparks' vehicle into the porch of a home at 370 15th Street SE.
Hamblin say Sparks was caught behind the home.
Officers say they found 16 baggies of marijuana and scales belonging to Sparks in the car.
Sparks and the one person on the bus were taken to a local hospital. A hold order was placed with the hospital for Sparks.
Hamblin says police were notified on Sunday that Sparks had walked away from the hospital without being discharged.
Hamblin says Sparks was arrested on Sunday night after police were called to the Holiday Inn Express at 3320 Southgate Court SW for a smell of marijuana in a room.
Hamblin says Sparks was taken back to the hospital. Police remained on site until Sparks was released at 10:30 a.m. Monday.
Sparks is charged with eluding, drug tax stamp violation, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled substance with intent to deliver, interference with official acts, violation of one way streets, hit and run personal injury, striking fixtures, driving while barred habitual offender, failure to yield upon entering roadway, two counts of speeding, two counts of failure to yield traffic control device, seat belt violation, and entering through highways.


text: (WNFL)- Marco Estrada will try to go 2-and-0 tonight, when the Brewers host Saint Louis. The Milwaukee right-hander gave up just two runs in each of his two starts in the young season -- including last week at Philadelphia, when he went six innings. Estrada's ERA is two-point-three-one, and he hopes his recent success will help him turn things around against the Cardinals. Estrada is 0-and-3 lifetime against the Redbirds, with an ERA of just over five-and-two-thirds in seven starts. Saint Louis sends right-hander Shelby Miller to the mound. He's 0-and-2 so far with an ERA of just over six-and-a-third -- but he went 3-and-0 against the Brewers last season as a rookie, giving up just over two earned runs to the Crew every nine innings. The Cardinal offense gave him just over five runs of support in each of those starts a year ago -- but he only got two runs of support in a pair of appearances this season. Saint Louis is 8-and-5 with a three-game winning streak. Milwaukee is 10-and-3, after ending a nine-game winning string last night.
