Paul Raeburn
Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux
For too long, we've thought of fathers as little more than sources of authority and economic stability in the lives of their children. Yet cutting-edge studies drawing unexpected links between fathers and children are forcing us to reconsider our assumptions and ask new questions: What changes occur in men when they are "expecting"? Do fathers affect their children's language development? What are the risks and rewards of being an older-than-average father at the time the child is born? What happens to a father's hormone levels at every stage of his child's development, and can a child influence the father's health? Just how much do fathers matter?
In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood—and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves.
Ultimately, Raeburn shows how the role of the father is distinctly different from that of the mother, and that embracing fathers' significance in the lives of young people is something we can all benefit from. An engrossing, eye-opening, and deeply personal book that makes a case for a new perspective on the importance of fathers in our lives no matter what our family structure, Do Fathers Matter? will change the way we view fatherhood today.
The Roots of Fatherhood: Pygmies, Finches, and Famine
Fathers who are expecting a baby might work with their wives or partners to prepare the nursery, paint the walls, or shop for a crib. Depending upon their budgets, the male parents-to-be might join their wives in assembling an IKEA bookcase, a global twenty-first-century bonding ritual. But while these activities can get men thinking about fatherhood, much of what prepares them to be parents was done long ago. At least three forces are at work. One is natural selection, which has shaped them to be well suited
"Raeburn shows with mounting evidence the role of the father and his effect on the care and nurturing of children . . . As the father of a rapidly growing and changing little girl, I gained more from Raeburn's work than all the daddy lit put together."
—Kent Black, The Boston Globe
"[Do Fathers Matter? is] a clear-eyed march through the history of family studies and a helpful review of the new generation of research devoted to identifying the impact of dads . . . [it] gathers an impressive diversity of studies into a single, highly readable volume, covering such topics as conception, pregnancy, infants, teenagers and aging fathers."
—Bruce Feiler, The Washington Post
"[Raeburn's] lively tour through the latest research in biology, ethology, psychology, sociology and neuroscience is intriguing."
—Joshua Kendall, Los Angeles Times
"[Do Fathers Matter] is astounding in its scope and perspective on fatherhood, with some of its revelations being downright shocking."
—The Washington Times
"A warm, enjoyable collection of stories about the science of fatherhood . . . a highly readable account."
—Psychology Today
"When science journalist Paul Raeburn first assessed the available research on fathers, he found the pickings decidedly slim. Scientists are now redressing the balance, and Raeburn has rounded up key findings in developmental psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics and neuroscience."
"I recommend Do Fathers Matter? to anyone who has ever wondered if indeed fathers are as important as mothers when it comes to setting the stage for success later in life. My prediction is you will be able to relate to Raeburn's well-developed and wonderfully executed book in a way that will change the way you feel about both of your parents."
—Aaron W. Hughey, Bowling Green Daily News
"As food for thought, [Do Fathers Matter?] provides an ample helping for anyone willing to look at the ways fathers are portrayed, the realities of male parenting and all the gray areas in between."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Whisking readers through research in evolutionary biology, psychology, sociology, and genetics to provide a 'new understanding of the biology of fatherhood,' Raeburn is on comfortable ground discussing the hard science, such as the discovery of imprinted genes, and his personal concern about the 'medical price' paid by older fathers...Raeburn's attempt to promote the modern father as a 'similarly nurturing and attentive' parent might indeed help, as he hopes, prompt a more informed cultural conversation."
—Publishers Weekly
"To answer the provocative question 'Do fathers matter?,' Paul Raeburn draws extensively on cutting-edge science, animal research, neurobiology, and large-population studies. Anyone interested in parenthood, human development, and culture must read this thoughtful book."
—Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of Happier at Home and The Happiness Project
"A must-read book for anyone who cares about the well-being of children, Do Fathers Matter? is a scientifically rigorous paean to the importance of fathers. Writing with grace and clarity, Paul Raeburn turns conventional wisdom on its head and places fathers, right alongside mothers, on a well deserved pedestal."
—Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
"A thoughtful, sensitive, and nuanced exploration of how fathers enrich the lives of children."
—Robert E. Emery, Director of the Center for Children, Families, and the Law at the University of Virginia, and author of The Truth About Children and Divorce
"Dispelling one myth after another, Do Fathers Matter? offers a detailed, state-of-the-art map of a much neglected and misunderstood terrain—the unique, complex, and powerful role fathers play in the healthy development of children. From anthropological studies to the latest brain research, Paul Raeburn gives us a thorough, eye-opening, and moving account that will change your vision of men in families forever. A tour de force."
— Terry Real, family therapist, founder of the Relational Life Institute, and bestselling author of I Don't Want to Talk About It, How Can I Get Through to You?, and The New Rules of Marriage
"Outdated myths and perceptions about fatherhood continue to exist, but Paul Raeburn's comprehensive, scientific approach lays them all to waste. If you doubt a father's importance or capabilities as a parent, this indispensable read should change your mind."
—Doug French, cofounder, Dad 2.0 Summit
"Do fathers matter? Yes, they do, and Paul Raeburn shows us why, in the most engaging and illuminating way imaginable. Delving into psychology, biology, sociology, and history, Raeburn returns with rich insights and practical lessons for today's dads, and for the sons, daughters, and partners who love them. Do Fathers Matter? fills a gap in our knowledge about parenting, but it also opens broad new vistas that we scarcely knew existed—until the science of fatherhood, and its chronicler Paul Raeburn, came along to reveal them."
—Annie Murphy Paul, author of The Cult of Personality Testing, Origins, and Brilliant: The
Science of How We Get Smarter
"Paul Raeburn does a fantastic job of exploring the science of fatherhood as well as the myths that have affected how we think about fathers. With a keen understanding of science and a journalist's commitment to hard facts and data, he sheds light on what is known about men as fathers—and what's yet to be discovered. Ultimately, Raeburn answers the title's question, 'Do fathers matter?,' with an emphatic yes."
—Josh Levs, CNN journalist and "dad blogger," fathers' rights advocate, and author of a forthcoming book on modern fatherhood

Trenchcoat-wearing, Sartre-reading schoolyard misanthrope George (Freddie Highmore) has a problem: despite the best efforts of his lovely teachers he can't be bothered to graduate; and despite the best efforts of his lovely friend (Emma Roberts) he can't be bothered to fornicate.
Though woozily shot and well acted, embracing Gavin Wiesen's low-key coming-of-ager depends on whether you find its hero a self-important prick.
George may be honest enough to admit, "I'm obnoxious," but you can't help thinking the art of getting over himself would be the best lesson to master.

Chart of the day: GDP growth and volatility
Alan Taylor has one of those op-eds today which is crying out for a chart. He's comparing DMs, developed markets, to EMs, emerging markets*:
A central macroeconomic indicator, gross domestic product growth and its volatility, speaks to the reversal of fortune. Circa 1970, EMs exhibited high mean and high variance relative to DMs; but after 1980 this risk-reward combination evaporated as EMs suffered a lost decade. But from the 1990s EM growth picked up and volatility moderated; DM growth slowed and, after the crisis, volatility spiked.
What does this look like in graphical form? Here's the chart, which is taken from a recent Morgan Stanley research report:
As with any chart where time isn't on the x-axis, this is very interesting and also takes a little time to fully comprehend. Basically, if you look at the DM line — that's the dark blue one, representing developed economies — you see average growth rates declining steadily all the way from 1980 through the present day. That was something we accepted during the Great Moderation, kidding ourselves that even though we weren't growing as fast as the emerging world, at least we were growing with very low volatility.
Then the crisis hit, and GDP volatility hit levels unprecedented in recent economic history, at least in the developed world, with standard deviations moving up towards 3 percentage points.
Meanwhile, the emerging world has a much higher mean growth rate — around 9%, compared to the developed world's 3.5% or so — which has been rising steadily in recent years even as volatility in that growth rate has declined towards developed-world levels. Emerging-market GDP volatility isn't yet lower than developed-world GDP volatility, but it's close. And given the tiny difference in volatility, the enormous gap in absolute size is all the more striking.
This chart, in a nutshell, explains why American companies are all falling over themselves to make inroads in China, and other emerging markets. They've had strong growth for a while, but now they're pretty stable, too. Here's Taylor, again:
What would have been your reaction, circa 2006, to someone peddling the following forecast? There would soon erupt the worst, synchronised global financial crisis in 80 years, or possibly ever. World trade would start to collapse as fast as in 1929-31. Many developed markets (DMs) would experience deep recessions, the costliest banking crisis ever and would stagger toward fiscal calamity. But – guess what! – emerging markets (EMs), after a brief panic, would sail on unscathed. They would have no significant crises: currencies, banks and fiscal positions would retain stability. A two-track recovery would take EM growth on to a trajectory away from a troubling slump in the DM world.
That world might not have seemed likely five years ago. But it's the world we're living in today. And it's the base case scenario for the foreseeable future, too.
*Update: In response to inboulder, in the comments, here's the list of the countries used, from page 11 of the PDF:
List of EM countries and ISO codes: Taiwan (TWN), India (IND), Indonesia (IDN), Korea (KOR), Malaysia (MYS), China (CHN), Singapore (SGP), Hong Kong (HKG), Thailand (THA), Brazil (BRA), Mexico (MEX), Peru (PER), Colombia (COL), Argentina (ARG), Venezuela (VEN), Chile (CHL), Russia (RUS), Poland (POL), Czech Republic (CZE), Hungary (HUN), Romania (ROU), Ukraine (UKR), Turkey (TUR), Israel (ISR), SA (ZAF).
List of DM countries and ISO codes: United States of America (USA), Germany (DEU), France (FRA), Italy (ITA), Spain (ESP), Japan (JPN), United Kingdom (GBR), Canada (CAN), Sweden (SWE), Australia (AUS), New Zealand (NZL), Austria (AUT), Belgium (BEL), Denmark (DNK), Finland (FIN), Greece (GRC), Iceland (ISL), Ireland (IRL), Luxemburg (LUX), Netherlands (NLD), Norway (NOR), Portugal (PRT), Switzerland (CHE).
I'm curious what they mean by "GDP volatility" here (the MS report doesn't state their methodology as far as I can tell). I'm guessing it's something like the variance of a recent horizon of GDP growth, in which case any sudden shift in growth rates is likely to keep GDP volatility high for a few of years just as a matter of methodology. On the DM side, I wouldn't read a ton into that; it only tells us what we already know, which is that we (DMs) had a nasty shock to our GDP growth rate.
John Joseph Wallis (University of Maryland) has written a brilliant paper on that matter. his conclusion is that high growth in good times is not as important for high living standards as we usually tend to think. How often a country is hit by economic downturns is what matters most, as well as how severe these crises are. Wallis: "Rich countries are not rich because they grow faster when they grow, but because they have fewer episodes of negative growth and shrink more slowly in times of crisis."
I blogged about that paper last year: http://olafstorbeck.com/2010/05/17/shrin k-baby-shrink/
I couldn't find the methodology for determining DMs and EMs, or which countries were included even. This seems vital to the Morgan analysis, doesn't anyone have this?
I'm with inboulder in questioning the definition of volatility. Stdev is a lousy volatility metric, as you can see if you just ask yourself which of these two sequences seems more volatile:
+2, +2, +2, +2, -2, -2, -2, -2
+2, -2, +2, -2, +2, -2, +2, -2
Stdev thinks they're identical. You really need a metric that takes account of self-correlation, the degree to which the recent past can be used to project the future.
Obviously the past can never be used to COMPLETELY predict the future, but if you can at least use it to make an educated guess, that means you have low volatility.
I'm still curious about the formula of GDP Volatility. Is the formula lagged variable from spesific period? If we count the GDP volatility of country in period, does it mean we just have one value or variate value of years?

|Reverse Nearest Neighbors Search in High Dimensions using Locality-Sensitive Hashing
|David Arthur 1Steve Y. Oudot 2
|For the TGDA Associated Team collaboration(s)
|We investigate the problem of finding reverse nearest neighbors efficiently. Although provably good solutions exist for this problem in low or fixed dimensions, to this date the methods proposed in high dimensions are mostly heuristic. We introduce a method that is both provably correct and efficient in all dimensions, based on a reduction of the problem to one instance of $\e$-nearest neighbor search plus a controlled number of instances of {\em exhaustive $r$-\pleb}, a variant of {\em Point Location among Equal Balls} where all the $r$-balls centered at the data points that contain the query point are sought for, not just one. The former problem has been extensively studied and elegantly solved in high dimensions using Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) techniques. By contrast, the latter problem has a complexity that is still not fully understood. We revisit the analysis of the LSH scheme for exhaustive $r$-\pleb using a somewhat refined notion of locality-sensitive family of hash function, which brings out a meaningful output-sensitive term in the complexity of the problem. Our analysis, combined with a non-isometric lifting of the data, enables us to answer exhaustive $r$-\pleb queries (and down the road reverse nearest neighbors queries) efficiently. Along the way, we obtain a simple algorithm for answering exact nearest neighbor queries, whose complexity is parametrized by some {\em condition number} measuring the inherent difficulty of a given instance of the problem.

A new website called "Next Door" is using social media to bring neighbors in one Mid-Michigan community together and keep their streets safe.
Neighbors in Grand Blanc are looking to become closer and they aren't walking next door. They are logging on to nextdoor.com.
Debbie Vallimont and other residents in the Woodside neighborhood in Grand Blanc are using the website to share and get information about their community.
"If your dog is missing. If there's anything happening. They have this site," says Vallimont.
Nextdoor.com allows people in the same community to use the internet to learn about what's going on in their own backyards.
Once a neighborhood is signed up, crime alerts can be automatically sent to neighbors when there's a break-in or other situation where the authorities are involved. It's a feature that neighborhoods with high crime rates could really benefit from.
Despite some reservations, neighbors like Debbie Vallimont are hoping their online connection will result in a tighter, more involved and safe neighborhood.
"People aren't staying in touch like they should be. That's what this website is all about, get you back into knowing your neighbors and becoming involved and taking care of each other," said Vallimont.
Residents in any neighborhood can join nextdoor.com. All you have to do is go to the website and signup.
The service is free and the hope is that by getting more people communicating and involved in their neighborhoods, it will help create more close-knit communities and safer places to live.

And that's it so far! More to come eventually.
Humanized Wheatley and GLaDOS. The more I think about human GLaDOS with glasses the more "Hell yes" I get about it. (Also, is "luv" or "love" the accepted spelling? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?)
She may be naked but she can still straight-up murder your ass.
With science.
Illustration based on "Analogue" - a beautifully written response to a Portal kink meme prompt. Definitely check it out if you haven't read it already - it's amazing!
The human AI version of GLaDOS is borrowed heavily from Makani, who came up with a lovely design that's pretty much my headcanon now.
Chell's a great listener.
Alternately: Hey. Call me fat one more time, you bitch…
No regrets, just tea parties.
(oh god why am I awake)
I'll just reblog the stuff I've already posted on my main account
so I don't lose my millions of notes for the sake of efficiency.

Groups Want Farmers Assurance Provision Out of Stopgap Spending Measure
A coalition of more than 100 food safety groups, organic farmers and other organizations want a provision that's been dubbed the Monsanto Protection Act stripped from the spending bill designed to keep the government running after September 30th. They say the Farmers Assurance Provision would undermine the judicial branch by stripping federal courts of their authority to stop sales and planting of genetically modified crops. According to the groups - the provision sets a dangerous precedent for congressional intervention in the judiciary. They further argue that the provision could threaten food safety in the U.S. and the stability of export markets. They cite the fallout that followed the discovery of an unauthorized genetically engineered wheat in an Oregon field - including Japan and South Korea's immediate suspension of U.S. white wheat exports. Monsanto has previously stated that the point of the provision - as the company understands it - is to strike a careful balance allowing farmers to continue to plant and cultivate their crops subject to appropriate environmental safeguards while USDA conducts any necessary further environmental reviews.

Public Health Matters
Simple Things You Can Do to Save Planet Earth
Rock #3 (Cartoon Blog!)
Check out our blogs for an in-depth look at interesting topics from public health to recycling to gardening. There's even a unique and fun cartoon blog! After reading, feel free to post your thoughts, concerns and questions.
Lots of you did not make it to our Garden Knowledge For Free Workshop--or did ANY of you get there--no matter, I will give you a taste of the session that I gave, since it is appropriate to garden work you might be contemplating now.
Maybe you were thinking that the garden is a place for low tech, well,
think again. This notice by University of Minnesota Extension Educator
Michele Grabowski in the September 1 edition of the Yard and Garden
News proves otherwise:
This recent warm weather and sun is working well for my garden. The tomatoes are the best I've had, the swiss chard experiment has worked, and the herbs are excellent. Those are all the edibles I grow, but one of my ornamental plants looks good enough to eat!
It's Fair Time again! To crib a little from the song....our own fair,
it's a great old fair, don't miss it---don't even be late! It is fun
free entertainment, a great celebration of summer and done on a smaller
scale than the Great Minnesota Get-together in another month. For just
that reason maybe, it's most enjoyable.
LILY---it is a name that has become very popular over the last decade, and is a plant that has become newly popular during that same time.
It is time to check out the veggies. Lacking the necessary sun, I usually confine my efforts to containers, so I query my friendly neighborhood MGs to see what's up in their gardens. Of course, there's a ton of stuff out there, so today I thought we would confine our report to tomatoes, a veggie that says SUMMER to most Minnesotans---thinking about plant choice, growing conditions, problems encountered.
I was tickled to see the following photos pop up in my email.
So we have talked bulbs, perennials, and shrubs. And what about annuals? Previously I mentioned the annual blue lobelia and pansies, and there are old fashioned annual bachelor buttons, but have you seen Anagallis monelii 'Blue Pimpernel' a drought -tolerant self-seeding annual with bright blue blossoms?
We continue with more perennials and pix with true blue color flowers or gold foliage.

Airflash has been my favorite foundation that I have found. The 200 matches my skin perfectly and has the coverage I need for when my skin is breaking out or if I'm having a rosacea flare up. I apply with the foundation lightly sprayed on a flat kabuki brush that way I have more control than just spraying it on my face and using a brush afterwards. I find it allows for much more even distribution and I can layer as necessary. The one downfall I find with this is that it is very drying. Whenever I wear it I make sure that I apply a heavy moisturizer and also a primer with it and then a heavy moisturizer again when I take it off at night. As for price, it is a bit high, but if you use it with a light hand, it does last quite awhile and it makes my skin look flawless, so who wouldn't pay for that!

I loooove this foundation! I never really came up with the ideo to use the 'Airflash' foundation, but once I tried it --> I was sold! It looks so pretty on your skin, flawless! I do have to say that I don't think this is foundation that you can use on a daily basis, because my skin gets so dry after using. But when I go to work, my makeup needs to last all day, and this is perfect. Make sure that you use a (really) good moisturiser before using. I would recommend to spray it on a flat brush(I use the one from Zoeva) and than apply it in round circles on your skin. Beautiful!! I use the 400:)

This make up is very fun to use.
I really reccomend using a primer before, this product can dry out skin and cause pimples. But the results are amazing, truly airbrushed. I wish they had better color ranges. I am 300 and am medium skin with blonde hair, green eyes. this foundation works really well with the skinflash radiance booster pen!

I love this foundation!
I may try other Dior foundation products purely because, by the end of the day, this has oxidised a tiny bit but other than that, this foundation is perfect.
It really does give a flawless complexion as it evens skin tone/colour and also makes my pores seem smaller. This foundation has a slightly tacky feel to it so I set it with powder so my skin feels soft and smooth.
Also, spending £33 on a foundation is expensive for me so I really wasn't willing to fork out the £43 for the brush to apply it but I found a dupe for it that I think works amazingly, it's the EcoTools flat-top buffing brush and it's only £9.99. :)
I prefer to spray this foundation onto the brush rather than directly on my face. If sprayed directly on the face, I found that the brush wiped more foundation off than it did on but if you spray it directly on the brush and then buff/stipple, your face will look flawless!
Gutted that this has run out after just under 2 months?!
I use this sparingly, so I'm pretty disappointed that a £33 foundation has run out so quickly. The hundred other foundations I have used have all lasted me roughly 6 months. I have not been put off of Dior foundations but I'll definitely be trying their liquid foundations because I do not have the funds to buy the Airflash every other month.
I love this foundation, it really really give you an airbrush finish. But make sure you moisturizer before putting on. I found it a matt foundation .
But lovee ittttttttttttt
Every time I went to Sephora I always went passed this product. The other day my friend was telling me about how great Dior products are and my sister was saying how airbrush foundations are amazing. I went to Dior and guess what!!! Airflash was there and WOW! I had no makeup on at the time and I gave this a try by spraying it to my face and buffing it in with a sponge. RESULTS WERE PHENOMENAL!! I have normal to dry skin and this stays on my face ALL day and looks natural it doesn't even look like I have foundation on! I know it's expensive but honestly I don't care because this is probably my holy grail. I've tried tons of foundations but I have never gotten such a flawless face that lasts all day. I don't even need to powder/set it. I have the colour medium beige 300..I am more yellow toned so I'm going to go to Sephora soon and check out the Sand shade..but so far I am in love

Great foundation - you can get light or heavy coverage, whatever you want. It stays well, skin looks fresh and glowy (not shiny). The only problem I have with it is the poor color choice. I got 200 as lightest, but it's tad dark for me and a bit pinkish. I would stick to this one forever if they bring out some neutral light shade.
Great foundation. A lot of the girls at work didnt know how to apply it so they didnt like it. For good coverage spray the foundation on the back of your hand and using a good flat top brush (Lancôme #3 highlight brush) stipple on the foundation. For extra coverage stipple another layer. Air brush perfection (:

I'm in love with this foundation !!! It's just perfect for me.. It's very light, gives a very natural look.. Blends really well into the skin. Kinda okay with the coverage but I use a concealer for that so I'm fine with it.. But I'm surely gonna stick with this foundation forever.. It's a must buy product !!!
i'm in LOOOVE with this foundation. i never considered even trying it before i went into the dior counter one day actually to try the forever liquid foundation. i was wearing Estee Lauder DL, but i no longer was able to find the correct color and remembering that dior had more options for undertones, i decided to pay them a visit and OH BOY am i glad i did!! (:
i was always under the impression that this foundation had very sheer/light coverage (maybe that's what i was told before?), but the MUA at the Dior counter proved me wrong and i love him for it!! he told me the trick is to use it with a brush to get full coverage, which i have the Dior flat kabuki brush and it's just pure awesome with the Airflash.
this stuff is transfer proof, sweat proof, and you don't feel like you're wearing anything and i MEAN it when i say that. i've tried sooo many different foundations - liquid, powder, MMU, etc. i even had someone tell me that my skin looks like it got 10x better (she didn't know i was wearing foundation).
the price is of course a downfall at $62+tax USD AND with the way i was using it, it barely lasted me 1 1/2 months ):
i actually went back to the dior counter to resupply and also got the Nude gel foundation to wear under for more coverage just so i can make the Airflash last longer. The both of them together looked A-M-AZING! (: i looked so flawless and airbrushed it was ridiculous!!
i do wish it was a bit more wallet friendly, but it IS Dior and i'm always willing to shell out the bucks for anything that works for me so well <33
if you can afford it, i would highly recommend it. you'll fall in love!!

Should we begin teaching children letter sounds first with lowercase letters instead of letter names with uppercase letters?
What do you see more of when you open a book, capital letters or lowercase letters?
What is more important for reading, letter sounds or letter names?
Shouldn't we teach children the more germane information pertaining to the letter first, its sound, as Montessori schools do? Aa is for apple and it says /a/ is too much information for a child to take in, process and then apply to a complex language code. Why don't we start with lowercase letters and sounds, saving letter names for once a child can read a three-letter consonant-vowel-consonant word?

Why I Love Toronto At Christmas Reason #113
Skating at Nathan Phillips Square
I once went on a date at this Ice Rink, it didn't work out because I had asked the person out when we were both majorly intoxicated and it turns out we are both very good actors while drunk and did not act the way we semi remembered on our date, but regardless of my failed date we went to the most romantic place I knew of at Christmas time - the skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square. The Christmas tree glimmers, there are lights stringed above, with lit up snowflakes that dangle above your head etc. It is just a colourful display of lights and it is such a romantic moment. Now even thought my date didn't work out, there were plenty of people there who were making out, holding hands and laughing at their significant others jokes.
The rink is opened every year during the Cavalcade of Lights and lasts usually until the end of February or longer depending on the whether (but since this December has been so mild I have a feeling it will be cold well into April). Also you can enjoy the new skate rental, change room and washrooms at the skating rink which was being renovated all this year.
What I did not know about the rink is that the arches you skate under are called freedom arches because it is believed that "only in freedom can the human spirit soar.
That is Why I Love Toronto at Christmas

Happy Floral Design Day: February 28th (pictured: Bromeliad, Orchid)
As if we needed an excuse to talk about flowers! More than sixty years ago, Carl Rittner founded the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston, MA. February 28th is Carl Rittner's birthday, and is now the designated day we celebrate the art form of flower arranging.
The ancient Egyptians were probably the first to decorate with flowers, as early as 2500 BC, by placing cut flowers in vases. Formal arrangements were also created for burial processions, and garlands were left in the tombs of loved ones.
The Greeks made laurel wreaths and presented them to the winners of ancient Olympic competitions, and to military commanders after successful victories. Laurel wreaths were also presented to notable poets of ancient academia (the word "laureate" in "poet laureate" refers to the honor of being acknowledged with a laurel wreath). The Europeans didn't begin the techniques of flower arranging until 1000 AD, after emerging from the Dark Ages.
As the world emerges from a Recession, the importance of flowers is ever more relevant: they are beautiful, affordable, readily available, and make meaningful gifts for dozens of special occasions - not to mention for our own personal pleasure. And it seems it has always been this way.
"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." - Claude Monet

I love a good documentary. I just saw "Blackfish," about the treatment of killer whales at Sea World and thought it was effective in taking an issue that I hadn't really thought about, making me interested in it, and giving me some basis for forming an opinion about the issue (free the whales!). "The Cove" was similar in presenting the capture and brutal killing of dolphins in Japan; that documentary was gorgeously shot had a dramatic tension as the camera crew inserted themselves into the narrative. In that vein, Morgan Spurlock's stunt of eating McDonald's for 30 days in "Super Size Me" was a good way of getting at the broader issue of the health and fast food. More recently, my kids and I enjoyed the "The Short Game," a Netflix original about competitive golfing among seven and eight year olds. Again, we don't even golf but it had good arc and did raise the issue of how much is too much competition for such young kids as well as what it takes to succeed at an early age.
This is all a long-winded background to the fact that Decanter reports that a documentary entitled "Sour Grapes" is in the works about the Rudy Kurniawan wine counterfeiting story. They say that the film is being made by a British team with the full cooperation of Laurent Ponsot and will be completed by the end of this year.
While I look forward to seeing the documentary, I'm not sure a documentary is the best treatment for the material. The Rudy saga is terrific and it definitely has the ability to draw the interest of the casual viewer not really into wine. But to me it is a character-driven story that speaks to the larger themes of hubris, duplicity, gullibility and more. In other words, the stuff of Shakespeare more than policy issues, such as dolphin hunting, orca abuse, or nutrition gone off the rails. So I hope that this documentary treatment doesn't crowd out what I see as the huge possibility of a fictionalized movie version, in the vein of "Catch Me If You Can," which was based on a true story of check forgery and grossed almost $200 million. However, I'm not exactly sure who is working on such a treatment of the story so I guess we as wine enthusiasts will take what we can get in terms of further exposure to the story and the wine world.
Because having a blockbuster movie about wine might just be the best way for the Rudy saga to end, assuming it gets more people into wine generally and not just into '45 DRC RC. Look where that got some people!
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and drinks like a duck, then it must be Duckhorn.
Such appears to be the logic of Duckhorn Wine Company, which has sued over the Duck Commander wines. The controversial Phil Robertson, who recently got suspended (or not really?) from Duck Dynasty, was not named a party to the suit. Trinchero Family Estates is a defendant in the suit, as is Wal-Mart where the wines are line priced at $9.99. Duckhorn Merlot sells for $54 a bottle.
What do you think: valid mark infringement through a case of customer confusion? Or is Duckhorn seeking to simply get it's name out there during the discussions of the popular TV show? Read more…
CBS Sunday Morning ran a 10-minute segment on wine fraud yesterday. The full segment is embedded above.
It centers on Bill Koch, including having the CBS correspondent walking around his cavernous cellar at his Palm Beach home, discussing his various counterfeit bottles. The segment also mentions the Kurniawan trial, talks with Maureen Downey, and examines some anti-counterfeiting technology at Opus One.
While it is an important and interesting subject, the piece could have been stronger. Interviewing other collectors, auction houses, some of the three Burgundy producers who testified at the trial or a wine critic would have made for a stronger segment–while Opus One may be faked in China, Bill Koch does not complain of having fave bottles of it in his cellar, so it would have made a tighter segment to have one of the producers involved his his story.
At any rate, it's good to see the story getting reaching a broader audience. I was at a Christmas party over the weekend where people were talking about the trial, so it's good the story is getting out there. A lot of people said it would make a great movie and I agree–maybe one day it will reach the silver screen.
Wine is splashing on the silver screen: today, the documentary SOMM opens in New York and on iTunes.
It's difficult to successfully capture wine on TV or movies. The medium is limited since viewers are not able to smell or taste. Further, the characters on camera risk sounding like the stereotypical wine doofus. Miles from Sideways was memorable in this regard, with tasting notes like "the faintest soupçon of like asparagus and just a flutter of a, like a, nutty Edam cheese."
Given these hurdles, the fact that SOMM informs, educates and maintains a riveting pace is particularly notable. The documentary tracks four candidates for the Master Sommelier exam, a rigorous test that includes a theory portion, a blind tasting portion, and a service portion. It has such a miserly pass rate that there are only 201 Master Sommeliers around the world today. Nonetheless, wine directors from around the world cram, swirl and spit to prepare for the annual sitting of the exam.
The film succeeds because rather than turning the viewer off with snootiness, it brings the viewer in by inviting you to witness wine geeks in action. It's a window on their world, watching them banter, taste and describe wines. As the star power of point-wielding wine critics has dimmed in recent years, sommeliers have seen their star power rise, making this inside look more meaningful. Also, people enroll in my (non-sommelier) wine classes because they want to be able to talk the wine talk; watching these wine gate-keepers up close provides viewers a good opportunity to pick up some tasting methodology and jargon that doesn't have a flutter of pretentiousness.
The opening sequence is a succinct, word-free, appealing presentation of the course of life in the vineyard in a year. Director Jason Wise keeps the pace moving with a countdown to the final exam day. As the final results are read, there's tension followed by rejoicing and sorrow.
Check it out: the movie will make you thirsty in more ways than one.

In NYC @ Quad Cinemas at 34 W. 13th St for a one-week run.
UPDATE from Quad Cinema: "Q&A immediately following the 7:20pm show with DUSTIN WILSON FROM ELEVEN MADISON PARK AND LAURA MANIEC FROM CORKBUZZ on Friday 6/21. (They will also introduce the 9:50pm show)."
Brangelina, known for adopting babies among other things, have one more thing to keep them busy: they are the latest entrants into the crowded field of celebrity wine.
However, unlike most celebrity wines which are simply brand extensions and the celebrities wouldn't know the vineyard that provided the grapes if they ended up there on a winery crawl, the Pitt Jolie duo actually live on their vineyard. Well, let's not get too carried away: the peripatetic couple have been more-or-less residing on the 1,000-acre estate in Provence since 2008. They've decided to get serious about the wine and have started a joint venture with the Perrin family of Beaucastel to make a rosé at first, due out in a couple of months, with a white and a red to follow. Marc Perrin told Bloomberg that they tasted through several rosés and agreed on the style they wanted. The wines will be bottled under the Miraval label and will have "Jolie-Pitt and Perrin" on the back.
There has to be a joke in here somewhere, but the project actually sounds quite serious! Hopefully it will be more Fight Club than Se7en. And it won't start off tasting old, like Benjamin Button. Or it will be good enough to be gone in 60 seconds…Argh, make it stop!
A wine story will be splashing on the silver screen this year: Samuel Goldwyn has bought the theatrical and digital distribution rights to "Somm." The documentary, directed by Jason Wise, follows four candidates studying for the Master Sommelier exam. It will be released as a feature documentary some time this summer. The film got good reviews around the time of the Napa Valley Film Festival; while it's not likely to knock off The Avengers, Part 56, from the top spot this summer, I, for one, am looking forward to it. For now, I'll have to settle for the above trailer.
"Samuel Goldwyn toasts 'Somm' acquisition" Variety
It was just an aside from the podium during Danny Brager's talk on the state of the wine industry. But the Nielsen wine guru said that wine is closing in on beer among viewers of the Super Bowl. According to their polling, 71% of viewers will have carbonated beverages (aka soda), 42% of viewers will have beer, 35% will have bottled water, 32% will have wine, and 22% will have spirits. I'm not a math whizz, but I think that adds up to a whole lot of bathroom breaks!
The survey info came out yesterday and included information on food consumed during the Super Bowl. As you might expect, it included many of our "impossible food-wine pairings." So, from the archives, here they are:
* Chips and Salsa
* Buffalo wings
* Seven-layer dip
* Pizza
Bonus: "Betting wine for football"
Bonus bonus: "How and why did light beer come to be the choice of NFL viewers?"
"No one, but NO ONE puts ice in red wine!"
Such is the gist of the opening scene of a mostly tongue-in-cheek video about wine from 1990, "The Celebrity Guide to Wine," chock full of 80s stars including Steven Seagal, Dudley Moore, Herbie Hancock, Whoopi Goldberg and more. It's the brainchild of Bernard Erpicum, who was at Spago at the time.
Thanks to our friends at Eater for digging up this gem! A blog at the SF Chronicle picked up the item and posted screenshots to help navigate the 55-minute show with alacrity; the money scene is definitely Kelley LeBrock demonstrating to Steven Seagal how to open a wine bottle–between her legs. But then she doesn't hold the glass by the stem! What kind of instructional video is this?!?

Yankees fall to Red Sox after game called for rain in 6th
The Yankees fell to the Red Sox, 3-0, in a rain-shortened six-inning game Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
The start of the game was delayed because of a threat for rain. They finally got underway 50 minutes after the 8 p.m. scheduled start.
In the sixth inning, the rain finally came. After a 36-minute delay, the teams retook the field, but they didn't last there long. Two quick outs were recorded in the top of the sixth -- about four minutes -- and the grounds crew brought the tarp out for the third time as the rain fell harder.
Hiroki Kuroda, who wasn't at his best, takes the loss for the Yankees. He allowed three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox first run came on a Mike Napoli fielder's choice, scoring Dustin Pedroia in the fourth inning. Kuroda then let up back-to-back leadoff home runs to Jose Iglesias and David Ortiz in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively.

North Berkeley merchants want parklets for the people
Businesses in the Gourmet Ghetto are keen to jump on the parklet bandwagon — bringing outdoor seating to the streets for espresso sippers, pizza eaters, and world watchers in lieu of parking spots — but must first wait for the city to come up with a process for making the spaces available.
So-called parklets — slivers of open space sprouting in cities around the globe — are a big trend in urban design, with San Francisco's Pavement to Parks leading the way locally, and Oakland following suit (a pilot program is under review there.) Berkeley is a little late to the take-back-the-public-space movement but eager to come up with its own ideas to beautify public areas where community members can congregate. Leading the charge is the North Shattuck Association, which is helping businesses in its café- and restaurant-heavy district organize around the concept.
"The parklets pilot project was conceived by the association based on our experience with hosting temporary parklets during past years on Park(ing) Day and the Spice of Life Festival," said Heather Hensley, executive director of the association.
Park(ing) Day is an international movement conceived to help city residents around the world reimagine the humble parking space. One day each fall, D.I.Y., creative urbanistas are encouraged to transform parking spots into parks, playgrounds, pop-up cafés — anything other than a lowly (though coveted) place for cars. Park(ing) Day parklets have sprouted in Berkeley in past years in front of the Cheese Board Collective and the late Amanda's Feel Good Fresh Food. … Continue reading »

Berkeley's Kitchen on Fire booms during economic bust
The two self-professed clowns behind Kitchen on Fire, who like to ham it up with kitchen utensils for the camera, are quite serious about their mission: they want to teach people to cook real food for themselves.
Chefs MikeC and Olivier Said launched the Gourmet Ghetto business in 2005, but it really took off during the economic downturn. That's when a lot of folks realized they couldn't afford to eat out as often as they wanted, and they set out to learn how to D.I.Y. dinner at home.
For those who lost their jobs, there was both a hunger and a need to learn their way around a kitchen; some hoped they might pick up skills that could lead to employment, and a cooking school seemed like a good place to do that.
Kitchen on Fire classes now regularly sell out. To meet the growing demand, this summer the kitchen classroom will expand to a second location in West Berkeley, which boasts an even bigger space.
The new kitchen will be housed in the Rocket Restaurant Resource supply store, where, this Sunday, Bay Wolf's Louis Le Gassic and Corso Trattoria's Rodrigo Da Silva will battle it out in an Iron Chef culinary contest, part of a fundraiser for Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner.
Earlier this week I met with MikeC, 33, who lives in Central Berkeley, to find out what's cooking at Kitchen on Fire. … Continue reading »
Why does the street food scene bypass Berkeley?
At Berkeley's Spice of Life Festival yesterday, for the first time in the event's eight-year history, street carts were part of the mix. Jon's Street Eats, Primo Parrilla, Chairman Bao and Skylite Snowballs were among the dozen or so street-food purveyors who signed up to join Gourmet Ghetto chefs and local D.I.Y. food artisans doling out morsels for the masses.
Normally, though, there's a dearth of brightly colored food trucks roaming the streets of Berkeley, while Oakland, San Francisco and Emeryville have thriving street-eat scenes. A taco truck or two can usually be found in West Berkeley, a couple of food trucks work the Bancroft-Telegraph corridor near campus, and Cupkates makes a weekly appearance on Fourth Street. That's about it.
Red tape seems the biggest barrier to food trucks cruising city streets. Sidewalk cuisine purveyors say the cost and bureaucratic hassle of doing business in Berkeley make it less desirable to serve meals on wheels here than in other Bay Area locations.
Some point to the fact that the city is already saturated with brick-and-mortar joints, lacks a light industry customer base, and includes a significant student population unwilling to pony up much cash for food. … Continue reading »

Thousands expected at Berkeley's Spice of Life fair
There is a strong case to be made that the food revolution's ground zero was Chez Panisse on Shattuck Avenue. The area is known as the "Gourmet Ghetto" for a reason.
So it stands to figure that the neighborhood's annual "Spice of Life" festival centers heavily around the wonderful food offered from purveyors on Shattuck — from Virginia to Rose.
