This essay appears as part of the new Folio Society edition of James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice, illustrated by Patrick Leger, available at www.foliosociety.com.
WITH ITS ARTLESSLY PERFECT FIRST SENTENCE — "They threw me off the hay truck about noon" — James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice drew a line in the sand as defiant as any in literature since The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Not unlike that novel, Postman forced an untamed populist voice onto more exalted cultural sensibilities; of course, nothing could be more American. Cain is a major figure of American fiction's shadow pantheon, the one that includes not Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Steinbeck but Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, and Philip K. Dick, with Faulkner, Miller, and Pynchon wandering the demilitarized zone between. The most commercially successful of them, Cain was also the most spiritually bleak, finding his calling late and fast in the Depression's depths after a fitful career as a journalist. The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934) was a sensation and scandal, at the other end of the bookshelf from The Grapes of Wrath (1939): Tom Joad may have been riding that hay truck too, but Frank Chambers is the one who got thrown off.
Frank meets Cora working at a roadside gas station and eatery. "Her lips stuck out in a way that made me want to mash them in for her" is his lively first impression. Let's not be so superior as to assume that what Frank and Cora feel isn't love. It's the only love that makes sense to them, so incendiary — Cain's working title for Postman was Bar-B-Que — that once it exhausts the language of copulation, all that's left is the language of murder. Once Frank and Cora dispense with her immigrant husband, all that's left is to dispense with each other in an erotic rage. "Rip me!" Cora cries to Frank, feet from the corpse, after Frank begins "to fool with her blouse, to bust the buttons […] I ripped her. I shoved my hand in her blouse and jerked. She was wide open, from her throat to her belly." Even Cain's fellow renegades were shocked. Raymond Chandler, another ne'er-do-well with a suicide streak and serious mom issues, fired for drunkenness from his job as a mid-level executive in the oil business, was finishing his own debut, The Big Sleep (1939), with its comparatively uplifting cast of pornographers and nymphomaniacs. "Everything he touches," Chandler fumed about Cain, "smells like a billy goat […] He's every kind of writer I detest […] a Proust in greasy overalls […] the offal of literature."
Of all things, Cain wanted to sing opera. When that dream was frustrated, he got as far from it as he could, creatively and geographically; by the time he wrote Postman he was in Los Angeles, having fled his birth and breeding on the East Coast as son of the local college president (Cain even worked awhile as an editor for The New Yorker). Still just a euphemism for Hollywood, Los Angeles was Cain's natural habitat more than he knew, teetering between the transcendent and the tawdry, swarming with the forsaken, disenchanted, and besotted, among them fugitives from Hitler's coming holocaust. Centerless and gravityless, Los Angeles was the Elba of Entropy for exiles like Cain who, writing scripts within a martini's throw of Faulkner and Fitzgerald, honed self-loathing into an aesthetic. When Hollywood's interest turned from his scripts to his novels when it was supposed to be the other way around, the irony wasn't lost on him. Cain had little use for the movies, both those he didn't write and those he did, the best known of the latter being 1938's Algiers with Hedy Lamarr; even as he hated himself for his earlier failures, he shared with rival Chandler the secret conviction that he was superior to his own work. "There's no such thing as a good one," he said of films, to which Hollywood answered with nearly instant adaptations of three of his novels, Postman coming last, a decade and a half after publication. By then World War II was begun and finished, and America was discovering moral confusion in such Hollywood noirs as Out of the Past, Gilda, Detour, Criss Cross, In a Lonely Place, and the definitive Double Indemnity, based on Cain's second novel. But while the moral conventions of the late 1940s finally allowed for the palpable chemistry of John Garfield and Lana Turner as Frank and Cora, the glorious depravity of '"Rip me!' […] I shoved my hand in her blouse and jerked' was still a non-starter.
Noir was to cinema as punk was to rock and roll. European refugees like Fritz Lang, Otto Preminger, Robert Siodmak, and Billy Wilder brought with them a worldview forged of equal parts German Expressionism and Nazi barbarity. In these movies, murder was a career move, double-cross a survival strategy, the bed an illicit cage. Proudly repellent in its nihilism, turning lack of production values into a virtue, noir began where other movies left off, or where they would have left off if they had taken that last wrong turn; there was no love, only obsession, which the lovers would choose over love anyway if they had a choice. A bracing denial of heroism provided noir's visceral energy, every flicker of redemption more powerful for how fleeting it was; in the wake of the stupefying revelation of the concentration camps, and before the altar of atomization, the genre was distinguished by violence and wantonness in the face of obliteration. Soon the vision became fetishized to the point of cliché — wafting cigarette smoke, the glamour of the forlorn trumpet, the tango of shadow and light — but the exhilarating depths of Postman remained further than the movies were able to plummet until the early 1980s when, as Frank and Cora, Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange had their way with each other on the kitchen table. It said everything about both the times and the novel that, almost half a century later, the flammable essence of the latter still eluded the former.
For a while in The Postman Always Rings Twice, Frank and Cora appear to have gotten away with murder. But they can't get away from their own rot: "'God kissed us on the brow,'" she tells him toward the end. "'He gave us all that two people can ever have. And we just weren't the kind that could have it […] God is up there laughing at us.'" To which Frank answers, "'Well we're laughing at him too, aren't we? He put up a red stop sign for us, and we went past it […] Then the devil went to bed with us, and believe you me, kid, he sleeps pretty good.'" One last time, Frank and Cora devour each other like before ("The devil got his money's worth that night"), and for that single moment we get a glimpse of something we haven't until then: like a lot of professed nihilists, Cain is a secret moralist after all, and rot and God are just other names for fate — the postman that rings again at the door of hell, not leaving till someone answers.
James M. Cain left Los Angeles in the late 1940s and his fiction was never the same. It wasn't so much that he belonged in Los Angeles: the whole point of Los Angeles is not belonging there; it's a city for people who don't belong anywhere. Of course he had the same ambitions and delusions of any serious author, even as he chafed at comparisons to Hemingway while otherwise the canon lacked the nerve to comprehend let alone embrace him. Cain's books continued to test the caprices and artificialities of civilized behavior as surely as Frank and Cora lay carnal siege to it, even when those books aspired, like Mildred Pierce (1941), to a more leisurely Depression-era updating of Thackeray-like social observation; in the time it takes Mildred's husband to rake the leaves in the opening passage, Frank and Cora have met, had lunch, argued, and made first moves toward the frenzied sex that's only paragraphs away. Foolishly Cain convinced himself — we did mention delusion, didn't we? — that this would rescue him from that dark corner to which the canon's keepers consigned him. But Hollywood made a noir of Mildred anyway, seizing on her daughter Veda, the single most hideous offspring in modern literature, and sticking a gun in her hand, the smoke of murder coiling from the barrel. As much as Cain was out of place when he left Los Angeles, he was out of time, whereas not so long before, the times scrambled to keep up with him. It's hard to know which is more incongruous about a later novel like Mignon (1962), the fact that it's about the Civil War or that it was published the year the Beatles made their first record. In 1977 — the year of the Sex Pistols, whom he might have regarded as kindred spirits if not for the fact that they didn't sound much like opera singers — James M. Cain vanished for good into American literature's midnight, of which he was unchallenged master since the first fall of dusk.


text: Crack Eggs on Flat Surfaces for Less Shell and Better SafetyKevin Purdy4/06/11 6:10amFiled to: CookingFoodSafetyHealthHouseholdTop542EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink There is, in fact, more than one way to crack an egg. But if you want to minimize contaminant exposure, and keep bits of shell out of your omelettes, you should crack them on a flat surface, not the edge of a bowl. Cooks Illustrated demonstrates the proper procedure, and explains it a bit, in the video linked below. Back when we were fascinated by No Reservations' "Techniques" episode, we noted that influential French chef Jacques Pepin gave the same instructions, citing food contamination. Others agree—it's about keeping yolk from running down your bowl, keeping raw egg away from any mixture you're making in the bowl, and keeping whatever was on the side of your bowl from entering your egg creation. I'd always used the bowl-lip method until thinking through the chain of exposure a bit; now I'm sold on the flat surface cracking. Drop us your additional egg-cracking tips in the comments.

Authorities have dropped charges against two men arrested last Thanksgiving after a Marshfield woman claimed they tried to rape her in her home.
Accused were Michael Civitarese of Marshfield and Ronald Pelletier of Weymouth.
Pelletier was also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
The Plymouth D.A.'s office says it decided to drop the charges after interviewing the alleged victim.
Civitarese's sister, Karen Civitarese, was also arrested on Thanksgiving for apparently 'threatening' the woman who said she was attacked.
Karen Civitarese will be in court for a pretrial hearing on March 1.

After attaining Freedom on 15th August 1947 we moved forward to become sovereign Democratic Republic of India by promulgating our own constitution on 26th January of 1950. It was a fulfilment of a sacred pledge that Indian National Congress took on the bank of River Ravi in its Lahore session in 1929 under the Presidentship of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
It conferred on us fundamental rights to set our destiny in the comity of nations in the world. The constitution also entrusted upon us the duty and responsibilities to follow the dictates of the constitution for the progress of the nation and welfare of fellow countrymen. No one has right to violate the fundamental rights of other in observance of his own such rights. Fundamental rights granted to individual as well as on society as a whole in a collective ways also. By offering sit-in on road blocking the movements of all other people, disrupting roads traffic of vehicles, rail movements hamper the right to freedom of movement of others.
People have right to carry on livelihood activities by way of service and business. By organizing the 'Bandh' agitation we are tempering the right of others. The judicial courts are interpreting the tenets of constitution on relevant judgments. The Bombay High Court imposed Rs.20 lakh fie each of BJP and Shiv Sena for organizing the 'Mumbai Bandh' but still agitations and going on all over the country. At Trivandrum in Kerala a shop keeper resisting the political hooligans to force him to close his shop on 'Bandh day' shot dead such agitators to protect his business and property. The Trial Court acquitted him of murder charge but the Kerala High Court convicted him for committing murder. The Supreme Court maintained Trial Court judgment and set aside High Court order.
Even now forced closures of shops and establishments and bandh agitations are going on. The people have right to demonstrate peacefully, the young girls and boys of Delhi demonstrated in a very exemplenary how way peacefully and they are still getting all praise for their rightful protest for awakening the Government and the entire nation against growing heinous crimes of sexual abuse of women folks. But the Central Government and the Delhi Police acted in most unconstitutional way to suppress ruthlessly such a novel cause legitimate demonstrations by imposing Section 144, lathi charge, teargas shelling and water cannons in severe cold conditions. The police itself planted stone pelting and termed the death of a constable by heart ailment as murder by the agitators. Now the Government is appointing Commission and Committees and amending or enactment of law to deal with the crimes against women to offer them security and dignity.
All laws are futile and exercise futility if there are no proper implementation by the authorities and observance by the people. Our Republic and democracy is moving towards the obnoxious mobocracy which may prove fatal for our Independence and Democratic Republic. On this day we all must take self pledge that while observing and protecting our own fundamental rights we will not violate the such rights of others. The 'Chakka Jam' 'Bandh' and 'Road-Rail Traffic disruption' should to given up once for all as these are uncivilized acts in the civic life.

How do I enable the cases on the movie thumbnails with this mod?

I tried looking for the option to enable them yet I feel very stupid because I cant seem to find it. Anyone here who can help me enable the cases or tell me what went wrong when I modded the skin?

The site — which appears to have been set up by his family — lists his height and weight, his vertical leap, his 40 time and his vital statistics (nice completion percentage, actually). The goal is to get into a good school and show off a highlight video for potential recruiters.Ben Onett is 13 years old and in the seventh grade. Quoth the site: "As an athlete, I was worried about preparing for the next game and my own performance. As a high school student I had thoughts of playing college ball with the notion "if I'm good... I'll be found". That concept still works, but sometimes it doesn't. This prompts an athlete to apply to school and try-out to be a walk on. If you could not afford a 4 year school you'd go apply for financial aid and play for a JC/CC somewhere and then get a scholarship after earning your way. It was a pretty simple equation to follow.

Why Join
The Mobilization?
CLIMATE CHANGE threatens the
collapse of civilization within
this century.
Confronting this crisis is the
great moral imperative
of our time.
See The Pledge
All Hands On Deck
We are a grassroots movement, powered by dedication and courage.
We Demand a Government-led Mobilization to Restore a Safe Climate
We call for a government-coordinated mobilization of our economy and society to end US net emissions by 2025.
The hour is far too late for a gradual, multi-decade transition off of fossil fuels. We need to transition off fossil fuels and carbon intensive agriculture NOW and start removing excess C02 from the atmosphere.
The WWII homefront mobilization provides an excellent example of how the United States can achieve incredible things when we pursue an essential national mission.
We Call for Full Employment and Fair, Shared Sacrifice
The Climate Crisis demands an all-hands-on-deck response—all sectors, individuals, and institutions doing their part. This was accomplished during the WWII homefront mobilization—soldiers risked their lives, industry shifted to produce armaments rather than consumer goods, and universities worked with the government to produce cutting edge research across fields.
To protect vulnerable workers we call for a job guarantee—that anyone who wants to serve their country and global community by participating directly in the climate mobilization will have that opportunity.
Further, mobilization calls on individuals to sacrifice as well. As in WWII we believe that sacrifice should be shared equitably. During WWII for example, gas, tires, meat, sugar, stockings and razorblades were rationed.
We Demand a Rapid Transformation of Our Energy & Agricultural Systems
We call for a ban on new investment in the fossil fuel infrastructure and a scheduled early retirement of existing fossil fuel infrastructure and facilities. We call for the closing of all US fossil fuel production and consumption by 2025, and globally by 2030.
In order to meet America's energy needs, and to help the world meet theirs, we call for a massive scale-up of renewable energy production. The government will partner with existing businesses to scale up production and also will also partner with universities and private companies to continue research into improving renewable energy.
Agricultural production needs to be intensely localized-- emphasizing growing food at home and at community gardens. Permaculture practices must be utilized on large and small farms. As in World War II, we believe meat and fish consumption should be limited.
We Call on Politicians to Pledge to Mobilize
We are inviting all of our elected representatives and candidates to Pledge to Mobilize, and we are building power in our communities in order to pressure them to do so. Vice Magazine called the Pledge to Mobilize, "likely the most ambitious pledge to fight climate change put forward this election cycle".
A group of courageous elected leaders and candidates have already signed the Pledge to Mobilize.

San Diego Climate Mobilization Rally Builds On Anti-Trump Fervor
On Tuesday evening, San Diegans turned out en masse outside their city's federal building to resist President Donald Trump's policy of climate change denial, and to rally for a massive national mobilization to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions within a decade, revitalize the American economy with full employment, and restore a safe climate. The event, organized by the San Diego chapter of The Climate Mobilization led by La Jolla couple Nancy and Derek Casady, was the latest in a groundswell of local demonstrations after Trump's election, reported the San Diego Union Tribune. Police estimated that about 500 people attended, while organizers estimated upwards of 1,000 — over 2,600 had RSVP'ed on the Facebook event page.Continue reading -

Crisis Reading Groups Against Fascism and Climate Emergency
Dear Allies,
My name is Katie Murphy and I am a full-time volunteer mobilizer based in New York City. I graduated from college last May and am now volunteering 30 hours a week with TCM to save civilization from its downward spiral into irreversible climate tragedy.
This was a tall enough order before America elected Donald Trump as our next president. In the two months since the election I have cycled through feeling furious, distraught, confused, and paralyzed. I want to band together with the people I love and fight back, but I feel as though the world has changed under my feet. I want to understand what exactly is going on so I can fight smart. I don't want to waste the precious time left blindly flailing around in the chaos.
Is America collapsing? Is Donald Trump a fascist? Is rising authoritarianism connected to the climate emergency? How can we organize a massive social movement that actually wins? These seem like basic questions that must be confronted head-on right now, and I know I can't answer them alone, sitting in front of my ever-more-alarming Facebook feed.
That's why TCM is launching a new effort to start in-person crisis reading groups across the country devoted to tackling these questions. In particular, these autonomous groups will confront the monumental issues of:
1. Ecological crisis
2. Authoritarianism
3. Theories of power
4. History and theory of social movements
I am holding the first meeting of a crisis reading group with several of my friends this weekend. We are reading the following essays in order to understand the big picture context of our ecological, economic, political and social predicament:
1. "The Great Disruption Letter," by Paul Gilding
2. "Creating Moments of the Whirlwind: Why Effective Movement Building Demands Both Structure and Momentum," by Paul Engler and Kai Newkirk

In addition to discussing the readings, we will also share our feelings about what is happening to our world, and exchange announcements about relevant political initiatives.
In times like these, community is indispensable--not only for emotional wellbeing, but also because within communities we can build and defend understanding in a time when knowledge is under attack. And we can remind each other not to normalize the immoral.
Please sign up below if you would like to pilot a crisis reading group in your area. You can get started right away by sending this page to a group of people who you respect and who live near you, scheduling a time to meet, and assigning the first batch of readings.
Please fill out this form if you have recommendations for readings for future discussions.
Our hope is that these groups will, in the near term, lay the groundwork for effective political action that successfully saves our civilization. In the very short term, we expect these reading groups will provide emotional catharsis, active hope, and a revitalized sense of community as we come to terms with our new reality together.
Please email me right away if you need help getting started.

Democrats: Embrace Climate Mobilization NOW!
Dear Democratic Party Leadership,
The Democratic Party stands at a crossroads. Will it continue to embrace policies that do not win elections and fail to solve our country's social and ecological catastrophes, or will it champion the WWII-scale mobilization we need to save civilization and the natural world?
At the Party's 2016 convention in Philadelphia, many speakers asserted that America is already great. But for millions of Americans living a reality of economic decline and social breakdown, such optimism proved hollow.
The truth is that every day we are barreling faster toward civilizational collapse. This was true before Election Day, and is even more true now that Donald Trump has assumed the presidency. Our deeply immoral throwaway economy has generated a crisis of such magnitude that only an unprecedented global mobilization can now protect us.
Democrats must introduce and champion a package of legislation that restores a safe climate with 0°C warming, stops the 6th mass extinction of species, and creates a full employment economy that works for all of us. In particular, Democrats should introduce legislation that:
- Declares a climate emergency and initiates a WWII-scale mobilization to restore a safe, pre-industrial climate with 0°C warming;
- Phases out all fossil fuel use in 10 years or less and develops a continental renewable energy SuperSmart grid and national high-speed rail network;
- Transforms our agricultural sector by supporting carbon-sequestering farming practices and agroecology while curbing animal agriculture;
- Scales up a massive effort to remove all of the planet-incinerating excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere;
- Initiates a Marshall Plan to rescue America's poor that provides guaranteed jobs for all, ends mass incarceration, revitalizes our impoverished communities, and implements adequate adaptation measures in vulnerable areas; and
- Launches a global effort that preserves half the earth and stops the 6th mass extinction of species, ends poverty, and stabilizes the global population through humane, voluntary efforts.
The 2016 Democratic Party platform recognized "the catastrophic consequences facing our country, our planet, and civilization" from the global climate emergency. In response to this existential crisis, the platform promised a WWII-scale climate mobilization and a climate emergency summit within the first 100 days of the next administration.
To that end, we implore you to immediately:
- Announce a date for the Climate Emergency Summit within the first 100 days of the next administration;
- Introduce the above legislation before the Climate Emergency Summit; and
- Establish a Congressional Climate Emergency Caucus to promote and support the growing movement for emergency climate mobilization
Through a courageous commitment to climate mobilization, the Democratic Party's new moral vision can inspire the American people to rescue our world.
- Declares a climate emergency and initiates a WWII-scale mobilization to restore a safe, pre-industrial climate with 0°C warming;

We play offense. And we need your help!
Allies, we need your help. The Climate Mobilization and Climate Mobilization Project are true grassroots organizations, powered by dedicated volunteers and generous supporters. We call for World War II-scale climate mobilization that eliminates net US emissions in less than 10 years, to protect civilization and the natural world. Our mission is the most ambitious and aggressive platform of any climate organization that I'm aware of. We tell the truth, even though it's hard. Where most climate organizations play defense, we play offense. Trump's election and the rise of repressive authoritarian movements across the world makes it all the more important that we continue with this mission. These movements are determined to crush the truth, which is our only hope for survival.Continue reading -

Allies— Since Election Day, we at The Climate Mobilization have thought very hard about the implications that a Trump presidency will have on our strategy. We've come up with a tentative vision for a new way forward, and we want to hear your thoughts.Continue reading -
Featured post
Allies, We at The Climate Mobilization were not expecting a President Trump. His election shows us that this country is desperate for change, but is still deeply in denial about the truth of the climate emergency. Our organizing plans for the upcoming year were centered around realizing the promises in the Democratic Party Platform of a first 100-days climate emergency summit and a WWII-scale climate mobilization. We are in the process of updating our strategy in light of the drastically altered political situation, and will be in touch very soon with draft strategies for going forward. Our general mandate to spread the truth of the climate crisis and organize power behind the demands for emergency mobilization will remain at the core of our movement.Continue reading -

Introducing the Climate Mobilization Victory Plan! (with Foreword by Paul Gilding)
Since launching The Climate Mobilization, we have often been asked to explain specifically what a WWII-scale mobilization to restore a safe climate and save civilization would actually entail. Understanding the need to answer this question in greater detail, we decided it was imperative that I withdraw from my role coordinating TCM organizing efforts earlier this year and do just that. I spent a great deal of time reading books by leading thinkers on solutions to the climate emergency and the ecological crisis. I also consulted with experts in a range of fields and attempted to outline a set of broad policies and approaches that, if delivered, would give us a fighting chance to save civilization and protect the natural world.The result is draft one of The Climate Mobilization Victory Plan.Continue reading -

It's Official: Democratic Party Calls for WWII-Scale National Mobilization to Combat "Global Climate Emergency"
Party Platform Also Commits Hillary Clinton to Convening Climate Summit During First 100 Days PHILADELPHIA – In a historic first, the Democratic Party has officially embraced the need for a WWII-scale national mobilization to combat the global climate emergency. Passed by a floor voice vote of the full Democratic Convention on Monday, the Democratic platform declares a "global climate emergency," acknowledges "the catastrophic consequences facing our country, our planet, and civilization," and commits to "a national mobilization, and to leading a global effort to mobilize nations to address this threat on a scale not seen since World War II."Continue reading
Saving civilization will take a massive mobilization, and at wartime speed. The closest analogy is the belated U.S. mobilization during World War II.

The Familiar and Open Embedded online Wikis both say that Familiar LINUX can be built using the OpenEmbedded environment (OE).
But the "local.conf" parameters, speicfically for Familiar 0.8.2 (last stable image(s)) is unspecified in the OE environment (at least the"org.openbedded.dev" Monotone tree). Anyone out there got a sample "local.conf" for Familiar LINUX 0.8.2 on an IPAQ (I'm trying to build for an Ipaq 3870). Thanks anyone ... |

'My Week With Marilyn' helmer would shoot pic next year
"My Week With Marilyn" helmer Simon Curtis is in talks to direct the adaptation of the Edith Wharton tome "Buccaneers."
Alison Owen and Faye Ward will produce for Ruby Films. The original story is set in London during a time when it was fashionable to marry for social position rather than romantic love and follows a group of American women seeking English husbands. If the deal closes, the hope would be to shoot in the second quarter of 2013. Curtis is repped by UTA and also has "The Golden Lady" in development.


text: Lawson Douvier from New Gamer Nation says "In my younger and more vulnerable years, I spent some time with a certain console. Not only was it able to exceed my expectations as to what emotions electronics could evoke, but it also became a well-worn friend, walking with me on a road that was not as welcoming as one would hope for. The games were subpar to none, creating worlds that have become as familiar to me as the one which we trod upon every day. I became a false expert on many subjects: espionage, cars, carnage, etc."

Oh I absolutely LOVE Yu-Na, I think she's the best Olympic Champion ever!! She's incredibly elegant and has great jumps, she's perfect! I don't think Mao's elegant...she doesn't listen to the music, in my opinion, and she's emotionless....about Mirai, I really like her expressions and her artistry but this year her programmes are not that interesting....or maybe I should rewatch them too

He embezzled $825,000, but gets no prison time
But another who stole $557,000 gets 33 months
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., March 27
Peas are often that vegetable you corral to the side of your plate, walling it in by mashed potatoes so as not to infiltrate your main course.
Thursday, March 14, however, peas have been picked to be the seasonal building block used to make a three-course culinary experience which will be composed by three different head chefs, all hailing from separate restaurants.
This new chef series, coined Three-Way Dinners, will take its turn at each of the participating chef's respective restaurants, with the first one being held at 7 p.m. at Cusp Dining & Drinks (7955 La Jolla Shores Drive) located on the 11th floor of Hotel La Jolla.
Chefs Donald Lockhart of Cusp Dining & Drinks, Christian Graves of Jsix, and Simon Dolinky of Saltbox Dining & Drinking are the aforementioned three who'll be making magic in the kitchen together.
Each chef will be responsible for constructing a different course using a pre-chosen seasonal ingredient.
This time around Chef Graves will be responsible for the appetizer, with Chef Lockhart tackling the main course, and Chef Dolinky preparing the dessert.
In August, tomatoes will take center stage with the dinner being held at Jsix while in November it will be squash at Saltbox.
$35 will get you into this delicious three-way action.
Reserve your spot for the first dinner on Thursday by calling Cusp Dining & Drinks at 858-551-3620.

Co-hosts Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan vie for entertainer of the year award.
Eric Church picked up seven nominations for this year's Academy of Country Music Awards Wednesday morning, getting nods in just about every category where he was eligible, except for entertainer of the year.
The slots for the academy's top honor went to reigning queen Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert and the show's co-hosts, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton.
Church's album Chief received its second consecutive nomination as album of the year. He is nominated as both artist and writer in the song of the year category for Springsteen. Church is also up for male vocalist, single, video and vocal event awards.
Hunter Hayes received six nominations. Any award he wins this year will be his first: The Wanted singer lost new artist of the year in 2012 to American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.
NOMINEES' LIST: Who's up in which categories?
Lambert and Swift have the most nominees of any solo female acts, with five each. An entertainer-of-the-year win for Swift would make her the first woman to win the award three times. Lambert could win her fourth consecutive ACM as top female vocalist. Her Over You is up for best song and single.
One of the biggest surprises of the nominees slate was Kacey Musgraves, who won't have an album out until next month but got four nominations. Musgraves picked up nominations for female vocalist and new female vocalist. She also received both artist and producer nominations for the video for her single, Merry Go 'Round.
Other first-time nominees include duo Florida Georgia Line, Jana Kramer, Sunny Sweeney and pop singer Natasha Bedingfield, up for vocal event for her Easy collaboration with Rascal Flatts.
The nominations were revealed via a string of social-media announcements. The 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards will air live April 7 (CBS, 8 p.m. ET/tape delay PT), from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Ryan Beck Ups Christopher & Banks
Ryan Beck upgraded Christopher & Banks (CBK ) to outperform from market perform.
Analyst Margaret Whitfield said the company traded at its yearly low Wednesday, closing down 6.3%, perhaps due to a downgrade from another analyst. While she regards the company's moderate channel consumer as vulnerable to higher energy costs, she notes the company's improved fall line and the addition of new members to its management team. She adds that management recently said improvement in merchandise margins is expected to continue throughout October, and inventories appear well controlled. She keeps her 80 cents fiscal year 2006 (ending February) earnings per share, and her 95 cents fiscal year 2007 estimates. She also has an $18 price target.

Exploring Noguchi's Modernism
A new book by Amy Lyford, professor of art history and visual arts, examines the work of Isamu Noguchi, a revered Japanese-American artist and landscape architect. Her book, Isamu Noguchi's Modernism: Negotiating Race, Labor, and Nation, 1930-1950, will serve as the basis for her talk on Sunday, December 8 at the Noguchi Museum in New York. In her talk at 3 p.m., Lyford "will explore the complex interplay of community and identity in Noguchi's work of the 1930s and 40s. Although it is not always immediately apparent in the full range of his diverse artistic activity, Noguchi was always cognizant of, and deeply committed to, understanding and fostering art's social relevance."
Lyford's research engages with the history of photography and photojournalism; issues of gender, identity and race in 20th-century U.S. art; and the intersections between sculpture, architecture, and urban space. For more details on her talk, visit the Noguchi Museum's Public Programs. Her book can be purchased at the Oxy bookstore or on Amazon.

Protecting your garage floor from oil and dirt is also a measure to protect yourself from allergies or injuries when you are in the garage. There are a number of ways to do this, but it started years ago with garage floor paint. Paint doesn\'t offer much in the way of protecting your floor, but it can change the mood of the room, and make clean-ups a little easier. Ultimately though, keeping the floor of your garage clean is not only a matter of aesthetics. Keeping an oil-free surface can save you from a nasty injury. Starting decades ago, epoxy coats made it easier to clean these surfaces. As we all know now however, epoxys have many limitations. The 21st century offers new and better ways to protect your floor, your family and yourself. With a little research, you can find a cost-effective way to upgrade your garage that is quick, easy, and effective. In no time you'll have a clean and safe garage floor surface.
If you've ever considered using a garage floor epoxy system to protect and enhance the look of your garage floor, there are a few things you should know before purchasing one. Most home improvement stores carry epoxy floor kits designed for the do-it-yourselfer and you've probably heard differing opinions on how well they work.
Some will say it's an excellent product and others will tell you not to waste your money. Well, there is usually an easy explanation as to why this product fails for some floors.
One reason for failure is not every concrete floor is ideal for applying an epoxy coating. Many floors have too much hydrostatic pressure, meaning water moves from the under the slab up to the surface in a process called capillary action. Moisture then collects on the surface, which breaks the bond between the concrete and the epoxy coat. If the floor "sweats" even when it's dry outside or there are areas that seem to stay moist for long periods of time, then an epoxy coating will almost certainly fail. It will gradually chip and flake away. Even if you don't think there is a moisture problem, it's a good idea to apply an efflorescence or salt blocker before the epoxy. This will help prevent moisture from causing problems.
The most probable reason for failure is improper surface preparation. The floor must be completely clean and stripped of all other coatings. Any stains or foreign substances (oil, grease, paint, etc.) will prevent adequate bonding between the concrete and epoxy, resulting in chipping and flaking. Most contractors will apply a coat of sealer to a garage floor after installation. It can take several years for the sealer to wear off completely. This sealer must be removed for epoxy to last. Although acid etching is an important step, it will not remove sealer and most stains. Etching will only open up the pores of bare concrete, therefore you must do all cleaning and stripping before etching with acid.
Before purchasing a garage floor epoxy system, you need to first decide if your floor is right for it. If it sweats often or there are areas that are constantly wet, then forget about it. Be sure that you are willing to take the time to prep the floor properly, as this is the most critical part. It also helps to put one or two coats of clear concrete sealer on top to serve as a wear coat. Water based acrylic sealers are ideal for indoor residential use. Despite any bad reviews you've heard about the do-it-yourself garage floor epoxy system, it can be a successful project if it's done correctly.

Hart is a freelance writer and author of several books. In this essay, Hart examines Atwood's character, Grace Marks, as a symbol of the Victorian definition of woman.
Grace Marks, in Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace, is an extremely complex creature. Her complexities, however, are intensified for many reasons. Some of her personal traits are distorted because they are recorded by unreliable sources, such as newspapers accounts, popular ballads, and people who were swayed by ulterior motives. But there are other reasons for Grace's complexities. She was living at a time when women were defined by Victorian notions of femininity, which ranged from some of the highest ideals to some of the worst evils. Women were often considered the receptacles of morality at the same time as they were seen as seducers and manipulators. Alias Grace is about a young woman who committed murder, but it is also...

Wow! Cazenovia, NY, has rocketed to second place in our Coolest Small Town 2014 contest, passing (at least for now!) the folks in Buckhannon, VA, who had held first or second place since the contest began in mid-January. (Berlin, MD, still holds the top spot.)
Cazenovia, a charming upstate hamlet that's home to a vibrant downtown, lovely lake, and a variety of distinctive architectural styles, has received nice publicity from media outlets in central New York, including Syracuse,com. That, in turn, has clearly inspired the town's fans to spring into action and vote daily. Congrats, Cazenovia!
So, how does a town with a population of fewer than 3,000 zoom to the number-two spot? Well, keep in mind that Budget Travel is all about, well, travel. The towns on our list were nominated by our audience because they are not just cool places to live but also cool destinations to travel to. Translation? The winning town will grab the title of Coolest by organizing its fan base—whether they are in town, in state, or even across the U.S. or the world!—so that each person casts one vote per day until the contest closes at 12:00 a.m. on February 25. (We allow up to one daily vote per IP address to prevent "robo-voting.")

Valery Borzov, (born Oct. 20, 1949, Sambor, Ukraine, U.S.S.R.), Soviet athlete who won five Olympic medals, including two gold medals. A master of all aspects of running, with a strong, smooth style, Borzov was the greatest Soviet sprinter.
As a graduate student at the Kiev Institute of Physical Culture, Borzov studied films of great sprinters to determine optimal sprinting techniques such as the best push-off angle and the most effective body incline at the breakaway. He won the European 100-metre sprint championship in 1969, 1971, and 1974; the 200-metre European championship in 1971; and seven European indoor titles. At the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, after his two chief American challengers missed their qualifying races, Borzov won a gold medal in the 100-metre dash in 10.14 seconds. In the 200-metre he won a second gold medal in 20.0 seconds. He also anchored the Soviet team that won a silver medal in the 4 × 100-metre relay.
At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Borzov again ran the 100-metre sprint in 10.14, but this time won only a bronze medal; he also ran in the 4 × 100-metre relay, in which the Soviet team won a bronze medal. He married the great Soviet gymnast Lyudmila Ivanovna Turishcheva in 1977. Ankle injuries prevented him from participating in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Borzov became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1994, and he served in the Ukrainian parliament from 1998 to 2006.

To Foxhound: "If you all must know. I bust my ass in a pizza joint to purchase my things."
That's heartening to hear. I know of a particular forumite who regularly post his purchases for all to see as an ego-stroke. We are talking bespoke shoes from Bestetti, on top of Lobbs and Cleverleys, bespoke suits from Saville Row, Chan etc on a close to monthly basis, customised cufflinks with Burmese jade, Audemar Piguet watch, ties from Marinella etc. The total costs of his purchases exceeded by far any possible range of employment incomes for someone in his position (a recent graduate with degrees in some communication/political shit).
The main message is that for you (and other younger members just out of uni), your main asset= a long time horizon in which you can compound your savings. Just simple mathematics, $10 invested wisely at a compounded rate of 10% per annum will double roughly every 7 years, so your $10 becomes $320 after 35 years. Up the return rate to 18% per annum, and your $10 saved today becomes over $10,000 in 36 years. I can assure you that none of your normal SF items will appreciate in price at that rate.
Save some of it, dont blow it all. Even the best shoes will look shabby after 35 years.
Forgive my ignorance, but short of extending a line of unsecured credit and reaping the interest from suckers, or some lucky speculative stock market work, how is 18% p.a. consistently achievable?

Balance keys Indians' victory over Cavaliers
COLDWATER - Looking every bit like one of the state's elite, the Fort Recovery Indians massacred the host Coldwater Cavaliers 61-34 on Friday night at The Palace.
Three-pointers helped Coldwater keep the score somewhat respectable until they suddenly stopped falling, and the Indians' uprising was complete.
"They're a good team, aren't they?" said Coldwater's coach Mike Bruns. "It's hard to beat a team when you shoot like they did. The firepower of their arsenal was awesome. They had balance inside and out. They hit from everywhere."
Fort Recovery hit 7-of-9 from three-point range and connected on 26-of-47 overall (55.3 percent). Wade Gelhaus (18 points), Elijah Kahlig (15 points), Jared Kahlig (13 points) and Jason Pottkotter (12 points) all hit for doubles figures.
After getting the opening tip and missing their first three shots, the Indians found their touch. Three-pointers by Elijah Kahlig and Wade Gelhaus, interspersed with field goals by Jared Kahlig and Jason Pottkotter, staked the visitors to a 10-0 lead from which they never looked back.
Coldwater's Brandon Wolters hit a three-pointer to make it 10-3 and five quick points by Alex Bruggeman brought the hosts to within six points at 14-8. Jared Kahlig managed to dribble out the remaining 34 seconds before going to the basket to hit a short jumper to put his team up 16-8 after one quarter of play.
The second quarter saw the visitors extend their lead to 22-10 before Coldwater's Austin Bruns hit the game's first free throw at the 3:41 mark. Bruns followed with a trey and a deuce to make it 29-18.
Gelhaus then stole the ball under the basket and went coast-to-coast before tomahawking a thundering two-handed dunk that brought fans of both teams to their feet as the Indians went on top 31-18. A three by Coldwater's Kyle Post was answered quickly by Fort Recovery's Kent Retz, and the teams went to the locker room with the hosts trailing 34-21.
After hitting 4-of-9 three-pointers in the first half, the Cavaliers went 0-for-9 from long range in the final two periods, eliminating any realistic chance of an upset.
The teams played almost even in the third period, with the Indians eking out two more points than the hosts to pad their lead. The fourth period was all Fort Recovery, as it outscored the hosts 15-3.
"We played pretty well," said Patch. "We have a big weekend coming up with the Flying to the Hoop event. It's a prestigious event and we were honored to be asked. But we concentrated on this game and it came out OK."
"They definitely deserved to win," said Cavaliers' coach Bruns. "They just beat you so many ways. They've got the firepower to go a long way."
Coldwater has the weekend off before hosting Versailles next Friday night. Fort Recovery travels to Kettering for the Flyin' to the Hoop event, where the Indians will face Division I state-ranked Walnut Ridge today at 1:15 p.m.

Inter Process Communication (IPC)
IPC provides flexible, efficient message passing between processes. It can transparently send and receive complex data structures, including lists and variable length arrays, using both anonymous "publish/subscribe" and "client/server" message-passing paradigms. A wide variety of languages and operating systems are supported.
IPC was developed in 1994 to support NASA's Deep Space One flight project. It is based on earlier work called the Task Control Architecture (TCA). Although IPC never actually made it to flight, it has been used in many autonomous systems, including DIRA, Skyworker, and NASA's 3T architecture.
IPC provides high-level support for connecting processes using TCP/IP sockets and sending data between processes. It takes care of opening sockets, registering messages, and sending and receiving messages, including both anonymous publish/subscribe and client/server type messages. The IPC library contains functions to marshall (serialize) and unmarshall (de-serialize) data, handles data transfer between machines with different Endian conventions, invoke user-defined handlers when a message is received, and invoke user-defined callbacks at set intervals. IPC uses the more efficient Unix sockets when processes are on the same processor, and does byte-swapping only when necessary. IPC now supports multi-threaded applications (although currently it has been tested only under Linux).
IPC libraries exist for C, C++, and Allegro Common Lisp. IPC for Java is now available (although currently it has been tested only under Linux). IPC currently runs on the following architectures and operating systems: Sparc (running SunOS and Solaris), Intel processors (running Linux, Windows NT, Windows 98), 680xx processors (running VxWorks), SGI (running IRIX), and MacIntosh (running Mac OS and OSX). It is easily ported to any machine that supports Unix-style sockets (for assistance on porting IPC to a new architecture, contact Reid Simmons ).
As part of the Deep Space One project, we also developed comview, a tool for graphically displaying the message traffic between IPC modules. The comview tool is available as part of the IPC distribution. It is described in more detail in this paper.
Click here for a brief history of our research in architectures for task-level control.
Send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the IPC mailing list, email@example.com.
As of version 3.8.0, IPC is released under the simplified BSD open source license.

Base coats and top coats for vacuum metallizing
Q. Dear friends,
I am research student. I want to know something about air drying base coat and top coat which are being used in vacuum metallizing on plastics. I want to get their properties and results on plastic. Can anyone reply? I want to know how they work? Is it a chemical reaction while metallizing on it? Which compound is formed after metallization (especially of ALUMINIUM). thanking you for going through this question.
Rushi.N.Daftarystudent(research student) - Morbi, Gujarat, India
A. The base coat is a chemical which is used in vacuum metallizing plants. To metallize on plastic (which is silver colour) base coat is used without base coat it is not possible to get silver coat on plastic but there are some plastic which don't required base coat but that can't be done golden colour
1) Base coat is used 1st, then put in oven for 1.30 min at 75° C temp
2) After it is dry, then to metallizing machine where it gets silver color
3) After silver, top coat is used to get golden colour or any other colour

Thank you, Kirit for the answer. But I will add one thing: the top coat is not there solely to change the silver color to gold or another color, but also to protect the aluminum layer from oxidation or quickly wearing off. The top coat is always required, even if the desired color is silver.

RFQ: Can I get the information regarding the dealers of base and top coat used for vacuum metallizing.
akhil gandhi- faridabad, India
Hi, Akhil. For a more enthusiastic response, please include your company name and a description of your needs. Many vendors ignore inquiries with no details because they are often from people looking to sell something rather than to buy something :-)

Q. I want to know is there any reaction that takes place between aluminium and top coat which can make it dull after curing, or is there any other reason for the component getting dull? I'm facing this problem for some time. Can anybody guide me?
abhishek kakkar- delhi, INDIA
May 7, 2013
A. Hello dear,
Your plastic pieces are getting dull after topcoat curing due to some other reason. Your base coat is not dried well. So increase time of curing base coat. Best of luck.

Q. I do metallizing on polystyrene without using base coat, as polystyrene itself has a very good shining property so results are very good after metallizing. But I want to know to protect its lustrous silver shining what kind of top coat should I use, as traditional top coat will make it dull after using? If anyone knows please help me. THANKS
Gautam SethiVacuum metallizing - Delhi india

Q. Why is base coat required before metalizing?
Rahul dudi- hesar, haryana, india
July 2014
A. Hi Rahul. Gautam says a base coat is not required on polystyrene. It is usually required on most materials as a primer for adhesion and to deter corrosion, and for smoothness for good reflectivity.

LOGAN, Utah - Junior center Jarred Shaw recorded his first-career double-double with 17 points and 15 rebounds for Utah State, but Saint Mary's Matthew Dellavedova had a game-high 21 points in leading the Gaels to a 67-58 road win Thursday night at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Saint Mary's, who was returning a BracketBuster game from 2010-11, improves to 2-0 on the young season. Utah State's record falls to 1-1 as it lost at home for just the 19th time in head coach Stew Morrill's 15 years as the Aggies are now 211-19 inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Shaw, who redshirted last season after transferring from Oklahoma State, was 5-of-13 from the field and 7-for-8 at the free throw line to register his career-high 17 points. He also had one assist and one blocked shot to go along with his career-best 15 rebounds.
Senior forward Kyisean Reed added 16 points, eight rebounds and a career-best four steals in a career-high 35 minutes, as he was 5-of-8 from the field and 6-for-10 at the free throw line. Junior forward Danny Berger added 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting, including 2-of-6 from three.
Dellavedova played all 40 minutes for Saint Mary's as he was 6-of-15 from the field, 3-of-9 from three-point range and a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line. Stephen Holt added 16 points and former Aggie James Walker III scored 14 points off the bench to give the visitors an 18-4 scoring advantage from the reserves.
Utah State scored the first six points of the game before Saint Mary's tied the contest at 12-all at the 13:58 mark. The Gaels then took its first lead of the night at the 10:27 mark on a three-pointer from Beau Levesque and SMC never trailed again as it led by as many as five in the first half before going into the locker room with a 34-31 advantage.
Saint Mary's shot a blistering 66.7 percent from both the field (14-21) and three-point range (6-9) in the first 20 minutes, while Utah State shot just 34.4 percent overall (11-32) and just 22.2 percent from behind the arc (2-9). However, USU did convert 7-of-11 (.636) free throws and had twice as many rebounds (22-11), including a 13-0 advantage on the offensive glass. Dellavedova and Walker III each had 12 first-half points for the Gaels, while Reed had eight to lead USU.
Utah State went ice cold offensively to start the second half as it made just one of its first eight field goal attempts and committed five turnovers during that stretch as Saint Mary's went on a 9-2 run to take its first double-digit lead of the night at 43-33 with 13:48 remaining. USU then scored five-straight points to get within 43-38, only to see SMC score five straight to increase its lead back to 10. The Aggies later got within three at 54-51 with 4:59 to play following a tip-in by Shaw and a three-pointer from Berger, but the Gaels answered with a 9-1 run to go up 11 and made eight straight free throws during the final 3:12 to notch the nine-point win.
After shooting 66.7 percent in the first-half, Utah State held Saint Mary's to just 7-of-25 (.280) shooting in the second half and the Gaels finished the game shooting 45.7 percent overall (21-45), including 40.9 percent from three-point range (9-22) and 69.6 percent at the free throw line (16-23), as SMC made its final 14 free throws of the game.
Utah State shot just 32.3 percent for the game (20-62), including 30.0 percent (9-30) in the second-half. USU was also just 1-of-7 (.143) from three in the final 20 minutes as it shot just 18.8 percent from behind the arc (3-16) for the game. USU was also 15-of-24 (625) from the free throw line.
Utah State did dominate the glass as it out-rebounded Saint Mary's by 19 (49-30), including a 24-6 advantage in offensive boards. USU also had one more assist (12-11), three more blocks (4-1) and three more steals (7-4) in the game, to go along with two fewer turnovers (12-10).
Utah State will continue its four-game homestand to start the season by hosting Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.

Luce Della Vite Lucente 2011
Other Red Blends from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A lush, seductive bouquet offers silky impressions of raspberry and blackberry, both fresh-picked and preserved, followed by roast espresseo, white chocolate, and pungent hints of mint and sage. Warm and well-rounded in the mouth, it boasts supple, glossy tannins that are perfectly integrated into the structure, and an alcohol appropriate to a noble wine. A near-endless finale conveys tasty fruit, finishing with a pleasant hint of nutmeg. This wine is elegant in a thoroughly contemporary key.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "The aromas in this young red show wild, dark fruits of blueberries plus mushroom and fresh herbs. Full body, chewy tannins and loads of plummy character. Second wine of Luce. Always delicious. Drink or hold." -
Wine Spectator - "Ripe and somewhat exotic, offering boysenberry, candied cherry and floral flavors singed by chocolate, coffee and tar notes. The fruit carries the day, trumping the burly tannins and layer of new oak. For fans of the style. Merlot and Sangiovese"
Luce Della Vite Winery
In 1995, Robert Mondavi of California and Vittorio Frescobaldi of Tuscany joined hands to create an Italian wine of extraordinary quality. Their partnership was the first of its kind in Italy, and their premier offering was Luce della Vite. The name means light of the vine in Italian, and was inspired by the morning sunlight on the way from Florence to the renowned winemaking region of Montalcino. Aptly named, Luce shines brightly as the very first blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from this highly-regarded Tuscan winemaking region. Montalcino lies approximately 20 miles south of Siena, and is considered the birthplace of the richest and most intense Tuscan wines. The Luce vineyard—adjacent to Marchesi de' Frescobaldi's Castel Giocondo estate—sits at elevations of 1300 to 1500 feet, the highest vineyard site in Montalcino. Sustainable agriculture honors the unique slate and rocky limestone soils, yielding elegant Sangiovese and round, supple Merlot.
Luce inspired a second label, Lucente, a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot sourced throughout Tuscany. A third label, Danzante, produces Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese/Chianti, and Merlot sourced throughout other important Italian wine regions. View all Luce Della Vite Wines
About Tuscany
(TUSS-can-ee) One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia. Tuscany is also home to the indigenous Italian grape variety, Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable Facts
The most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...
This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
