Me and 3 friends are planning on hiring a car to take us from South carolina to Miami, and then flying to New York. As this will mean us driving at least a good few hundred miles, we have been warned about some car hire companies charging upto $1 per mile. Can anyone recommend a good car hire company who charge less for miles driven? Also, we will all be 21 at the time, will we get charged more for being under 25? and do we have to add tax onto the advertised price of rental?
Many thanks!

Wolfsburg captain Marcel Schafer has revealed Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko still cares about his old club.
Even in the days leading up to the big derby at Manchester United, Dzeko's thoughts were with Wolfsburg following the sacking of Steve McClaren.
Schafer told the Daily Mail: "It was always inevitable Edin would move on, because he is such a good player, but he was also valued as a person here. You might expect someone in his position to forget quickly about Wolfsburg and concentrate only on his new club, but that was never likely to happen with him.
"My mobile phone beeped the other day, and it was a text from Edin, wanting to know what had gone wrong. He had heard about all our injuries and wanted to know how serious they were and when each player would be back. That shows how much he still cares about us all at Wolfsburg, and I'm not surprised, because he was a friend as well as team-mate.
"You can always separate someone's professional ambition from how they are as an individual. In Edin's case, he was outstanding on the pitch, really important for us, and a great human being off it."

Teaching child's play for retiring educator
Education: Good Shepherd's Terri Roman retiring at end of the year
Wednesday, Jun 25, 2014 11:38 am
Good Shepherd School's physical education teacher has been known for racking up the 'W's, in her career.
Not necessarily "wins", but Terri Roman is known for "weird", "wacky" and "wonderful" among her students and peers.
"The Thanksgiving turkey trot is probably my weirdest thing," Roman said. "Every teacher, every student runs around the field looking like a turkey.
"I have been fortunate, the support I receive from administration is unparalleled. I couldn't do some of the wacky things I do without their support."
The 55-year-old is retiring at the end of the school year, after 15 years at Good Shepherd, where she has helped organize family fitness week, a pedometer challenge and most recently a flash mob with the 500-some students.
"It's time for me to love something else," Roman said while fighting back tears. "This takes 90 per cent of my energy and I know it is time to do something else… It's time to find some other challenges in life."
Roman got her start in Edmonton in 1988 before moving to Christ the Redeemer School Division where she was a physical education teacher at Holy Spirit Academy.
At that time, the school was located at the former High River nurses' residence. She was a phys-ed teacher without a gym.
"I loved it — it was one of my funnest years teaching ever," Roman said. "We would go to George Lane Park and do things outside like cross-country skiing, go swimming, it was wonderful."
However, there were some issues. She was the coach of the junior high school boys volleyball team and the players kept crossing the line.
"Whenever we would go to a game we would get called for stepping over the line," Roman said. "I kept telling the ref: 'We don't have any lines — we practice in a parking lot.'"
At times it was like the sky was falling while at Holy Spirit Academy.
"One time I had the Grade 9s doing aerobics in the classroom and the stucco from the roof was falling on Scott Morrison's head — he was the principal then," Roman said, with a laugh. "He came running into the room and said 'What are you doing —you have to stop.
"There were challenges but it was a lot fun."
The fun kept on rolling when she came to Good Shepherd School in the late 1990s.
"I had been coaching junior high forever and it just seemed like it was time for a change," Roman said. "Elementary school you are teaching them how to run, how to jump, how to throw — you are turning them on to sports and activity."
The key to getting Grade 1 to 6 students going is make it fun and keeping them active. Roman's badminton's class on Friday had all 30 students swinging racquets while a country tune blared in the background.
"I have kids come up to me and want me to feel their heads because they are sweating — they are proud of sweat on their shirts," Roman said. "The kids can come in and play their hearts out. It doesn't matter if they are good or not. We're not trying to train Olympic athletes here, we're trying to turn them on to be an athlete for life."
That's done by teaching the students the basics in a fun manner.
"You have to get them hooked and then you teach them the skills," Roman said. "I know what we are doing is working, because when we have Grade 6 tournaments, every kid seems to want to play. I will show up with five, six teams and sometimes the coaches at the other schools will ask: 'Are you forcing you're players to play?"
Being a wacky teacher may run in the Roman family. Her son Jeff, a graduate of Holy Trinity Academy, has graduated with a teacher's degree in physical education. He team-taught with his mom once this year.
"He teaches like I do," Terri said with a laugh. "He was playing with the kids and laughing. I thought he was me."

I get questions like this all the time, and my answer is usually some form of the cream rising thingie.
Here's the deal. I'm not a soothsayer, I'm no Nostradamus writing in quatrains, I'm just an analyst who attempts to use the data that has been compiled over thousands upon thousands of games through the years. Is that analysis always accurate in every situation? Of course not. There are always exceptions to every rule, people who seemingly have success in whatever endeavor they pursue, despite the fact that it doesn't make sense (I know there are more than a few of you reading this who are thinking "that sounds like an apt description of my boss -- how in the hell is he/she successful?"). That is the caveat I have to offer -- nothing is certain other than saying something like
That said, I bet this question comes from someone who read an article I wrote about three weeks ago entitled
Here are the baseline numbers I look for when starting an analysis of hurlers:
* A K/9 mark of 6.0.
How do those three hurlers grade out in those five categories?
Hernandez: 3.10 K/9, 2.74 BB/9, 1.13 K/BB, 1.09 HR/9, 1.17 GB/FB
The only category where Livan meets the minimum is his walk rate, and that K/BB rate is hideous. I got a bridge to sell you if you believe in Livan.
Fister: 3.83 K/9, 1.72 BB/9, 2.22 K/BB, 0.19 HR/9, 1.62 GB/FB
When pitchers keep the ball on the ground as well as Fister has thus far they can have success with less than impressive numbers in the other categories. Still, I just don't see this continuing, a fact I recently detailed in
Garland: 5.06 K/9, 4.69 BB/9, 1.08 K/BB, 0.56 HR/9, 1.58 GB/FB
I don't care how many grounders he induces, his career rate is 1.30, by the way, or how much Petco helps him to keep the ball in the yard, you simply cannot have long-term success walking more than four and a half batters per nine innings unless you strike our more than a batter per inning. Truthfully, it's shocking -- and I mean as astounding as it would be to awake tomorrow morning with a Playmate on my front porch delivering the paper -- that Garland has been successful as he has been through eight starts.
So I'm still predicting that all three will see their positive results curtailed substantially as we move forward. Remember, we are only a quarter of the way into the season, and it's a marathon and not a sprint in major league baseball. Could I end up being wrong? Certainly, but more times than not reasoned analysis leads you to a correct conclusion.
Both of these shortstops came into the year as top-10 options, and both have failed, miserably, to live up that advanced billing.
Ramirez is a talented, undisciplined hacker who can, when going right, help in all fantasy categories. Unfortunately, things aren't going well right now, and the main culprit is likely his approach at the plate. After posting a pathetic 0.30 BB/K mark as a rookie -- the big league average is about 0.50 -- Ramirez bumped that mark all the way up to 0.74 last season. So how has he followed up that growth in 2010? With a cavernous fall that would make a spelunker nervous. Ramirez has a career-low walk rate, a career worst K-rate and as a result his BB/K mark is horrifying at 0.20. Certain players can have success swinging at everything, names like
Bartlett had a rather large .364 BABIP mark last season, thanks to a major league leading 26.0 percent line drive rate. Obviously those were levels he wasn't going to be able to sustain this season. Still, his current line drive rate is 21 percent, right on his career mark, yet his BABIP is down .042 points from his career mark at .281. Things should even out in the batting average category and his .242 mark should move back to the .284 range that he has posted in his career. After all, he is currently operating with his best BB/K mark (0.76) and his GB/FB rate of 1.08 is pretty close to his career level of 1.23. Because of the dip in his batting average he isn't even getting on base at a league average level right now (.319 OBP), and that makes it tough to steal bases. Speaking of thefts, Bartlett has stolen at least 20 bags in each of the past three seasons, so one would think if his OBP returns to his career level (.348) that he should be able to greatly improve upon his current theft rate.
If I had to make a decision at this point I'd say go with Bartlett. He is the safer option, has the better approach at the dish, and seems to be in a much better position to return to a level of fantasy relevance at this point than Ramirez, who has seemingly regressed after showing some signs of growth in '09.
If you have five strong pitchers, six with Anderson, who should return soon, I'd make this move an add Hart. He is going well right now, seems locked into everyday playing time, and that chip on his shoulder has never been larger. Add that up and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he continued to be a solid option in the outfield for rest of '10.
You aren't the only person struggling with your top choices this year Josh. It seems like everywhere we look there are top flight players struggling, or worse yet on the shelf. It's been a really weird start to 2010.
Gonzalez plays in an awful park for hitters and is surrounded by a bunch of guys that may not be all-stars if they were playing in Triple-A. As a result he is fourth in the NL In walks (27) putting him on pace for a second straight year of triple-digit walks. While that helps him to maintain a strong OBP (currently .380), it's not likely to give him a chance to produce a tremendous amount of offense if he is always getting four wide ones. There is a misnomer that Gonzalez is a strong producer in batting average but he isn't having been in the .270's the past two years. That said, his current .254 batting average is lower than it should be. Blame his 17.1 percent line drive rate that shows he just hasn't been squaring up the ball like he normally does (his LD-rate has been at least 19.4 percent in every season of his career). History is on his side with three straight 30-HR, 99 RBI efforts, and while he is well on that pace in the homer category, he may not make it in the runs driven in department unless he has someone on base to drive in.
Sandoval is one of those players who is tough to analyze. Much like
Both players would have trade value, they were both highly thought of entering the year, but the vultures would likely be circling if you put up either meaning the offers likely wouldn't be very strong. My advice? Hold on to both. Star level players have a tendency to produce over the course of a 162 game season. Much like the discussion above about pitchers this is the general rule, though of course it is always possible that either or both will fail to reach the levels that were expected.

Nielsen Rates Puerto Rico's TV Stations
NEW YORK: The Nielsen Co. today said it launched television audience measurement in Puerto Rico as of April 1. Ratings in the U.S. island territory are being collected from 500 households. Nielsen said more than 90 percent of the households recruited agreed to contribute--"believed to be the highest of all the world's TV ratings panels," the company said.
Puerto Rico's three largest television providers have signed up for the metrics: WKAQ-TV, the owned and operated Telemundo station; WLII-TV, the Univision affiliate; and WAPA-TV, an independent. Arteaga & Arteaga, Canal 13, Draft/FCB, EJE Sociedad Publicitaria, Starcom, and Kairos also subscribed.
Nielsen said it's now providing overnight TV ratings and will release the monthly top 10 time slots by the end of April.

"Council of Elders" ... sounds ominous to me. Who decided they were THE ELDERS?
Every little solution must be made use of as although it will never provide the total solution the sum total of them all will. It is a very good idea to use a light colour for our roads and pavements, however using white roofs on our housing estates would create an impossible glare.White roofs can perhaps be used for our churches and of course they can be used whenever the roof is flat as on many of our skyscrapers and other buildings.
Reafforestation is the biggest if not one of the biggest solutions.Forests absorb the suns energy,cool by evaporation and reflect a certain amount and light coloured forests can of course be created.We need to find a way of collecting the methane produced by our oceans and rivers.
Energy efficiency is important as already mentioned.No expense should be spared on improving the efficiency of our power stations which should not be coal or oil but methane.Manure should never be used without first being passed thru' a methane digester.
No we don't need to pursue ever little solution - just ones that work and are cost effective on a large scale.
This is where the environmentalists fail.
Switching to geothermal power on a large scale and to electric cars run off cheap geothermal power. Solar is worth following in it's own right - it can be used to generate small amounts of power locally and hence reduce total power usage effectively. This would be useful on electric cars to increase their effective range, as would things like regenerative breaking and similar technologies.
Reforestation would solve us a good percentage of the battle too.
But spending on eighteen thousand different solutions mean none get used and the most important single one, a switch to a geothermal powered world, gets delayed indefinitely.
Fact is that wind and many other technologies will never be able to meaningfully work towards solving the problem, instead lets focus on the one workable solution to the main issue of power generation.
"I shouldn't have come to London for a conference," Jack Steinberger told The Times.
Yes, I agree. I presume the press didn't bike to it, either. Pompous, self-aggrandizing jackasses, the lot of them. A lot of hot air by the hypocrite PC crowd.
And I can see why the rules of Clarence house forbid the press being present when no royal member is at home: they don't want people snooping around seeing what kind of light bulbs they have.
Geothermal energy is a good solution.
Every home should have a heat pump to provide central heating.There ahould be a ground source heat pump down to two or three feet and this is replenished by heat from surrounding areas.A heat pump can also be used to send heat energy back into space,perhaps in the direction of a cold planet.
There are many ways of improving the efficiency of wind turbines.You can work some for yourself.One is to ude a battery to restart it once a 'running wind speed' has been reached.
I meant geothermal power generation - although heat pumps would save a whole lot of energy if we can get them more widely installed.
This in particular (sorry for wikipedia link am in a rush but gives at least an overview) has potential to replace most other forms of power generation cleanly, cheaply and efficiently.
Australia is right now doing some interesting things with this technology, as are many other countries around the world.
Prince Charles is back from his 16,000 mile 'green' crusade. So, what happened to the Airbus 319 he charted, the one that was fitted out in splendid luxury for himself, his wife and 14 servants to tour South America in?
The Airbus 319 normally seats 150 people so I do hope Prince Charles insisted the charter company returned it to that more environmentally friendly layout. Perhaps the champagne left over from the trip could even be used to fly it for while?
In his great book, Cities in Civilisation, Peter Hall, looks at various cities and why they have golden ages, such as Republican Rome for it's politics, Elizabethan London for its arts, Berlin with the birth of the electrical industry in the 1890s. LA for movies, Memphis for its music. Detroit for it's automobiles. I think it'll be more distributed (unless a certain city can go out on a limb and be the first) and a great flowering age of a clean, green city will show a new way to live. i.e. I think there is a technological solution to global warming, based around clean electricity, clean transport based on Lithium polymer batteries, (with electric cars, electric trains, a revival of trams aka streetcars, and pedal electric bicycles) and clean heating in houses (ie not solid fuel, wood being the most polluting fuel used in first world cities now). With less polluted cities we'll start to move back in, replacing a lot of the automobile traffic with a whole lot more fun bicycles. Coal has to go, Petrol and diesels have to go. In 25 years we will look back on how we live now amazed at how filthy everyone was. It's not all technological, but inspired legislation as well. Save that $1billion dollars on the latest motorway and build a city-wide cycleway network instead. Phase out filthy forms of transport, heating and energy generation and fix our cities. The planet will then look after itself.

Oral hygiene is tied directly to your pet's overall health. In fact, studies show that keeping your pet's mouth healthy may increase their life expectancy by up to two years. February's annual National Pet Dental Health Month sheds light on the importance of oral care.
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80 percent of canines show symptoms of oral disease by the age of three. Bad breath and unusual or excessive drooling and pawing at the mouth can be signs of dental problems.
"The key to preventing oral disease is to begin a hygiene regimen from an early age," said Bob Scharf, president of Sergeant's Pet Care Products, Inc. "Just as humans need to take care of their teeth, pets need dental care as well. Our SENTRY® Petrodex® Filled Dental Bones target plaque and buildup to help ensure that pets live healthy, happy lives."
Available at pet specialty retailers, SENTRY Petrodex Filled Dental Bones are designed to work with your dog's natural chewing action to whiten teeth and freshen breath. In addition to the bone's exterior benefits, an advanced dental paste with a residual component inside of the bone adheres to dogs' teeth and these two elements work to whiten by cleaning away plaque and tartar buildup.
Without treatment, oral disease is an invitation for other health problems such as kidney and heart disease. Oral health is in your control. Tackle it and keep your dog happy and healthy with the SENTRY Petrodex line of dental products. Learn more at sentrypetcare.com.

and his wife, ANNETTE UNGER GROSS '57,
loaded up their 1985 Southwind 27-foot Class A motor
home. "When you're a teacher, you want to
go see the things you've been teaching about,"
he explains.
Logging 85,000 miles between 1991 and 1999, Jack and
Annette started their adventures from their home base
in Edmonds, Washington. During several long trips, the
couple reconnected with friends and family, and visited
sites throughout the continent. Ping-ponging across
the United States and Canada, they made stops in Montréal,
Ontario; Miami, Florida; Fairbanks, Alaska; New Orleans,
Louisiana; and elsewhere.
"In 1999, we went all the way to Cancun by motor
home," says Jack, adding that in Alaska, they
visited Mt. McKinley.
Still a teacher at heart, he didn't miss important
historical locations he'd once taught students
about in the Edmond School District. In Boston,
the couple visited the famous Old North Church, now
dwarfed by nearby modern buildings. They visited
President Eisenhower's burial site in Kansas,
and President Lincoln's
burial site in Illinois. "We stopped at Quincy,
Massachusetts, to visit the homes of our second president,
John Adams, and the sixth president, John Quincy Adams,"
he says. "And we went down with 45 other rigs
to Mardi Gras. I think that was as memorable as anything."
Yet the Grosses' next trip will be close to home,
says Jack: "We're going to come to our class
reunion for sure!"

Globetrotting Alumnus Lives a Life of Song
When KEITH MONTGOMERY '81 joined
the faculty of Cairo American College in Egypt in 1988,
he assumed he'd stay about two years. "I
ended up staying for 13 wonderful years!" he says.
"The travel and the international lifestyle sank
into my pores and made it difficult to return to the
United States."
With bachelor's and master's degrees in
music education — and a travel bug — Keith
traded Egypt for England
in 2001. He began teaching choral music and chairing
the Department of Performing Arts at The American School
in London, a multicultural private school. "My
teaching load involves five choral music classes of
varying ages and ability levels," he says, adding
that London also offered him more opportunities to perform.
When an opening arose, Keith, a bass, joined the London
Symphony Chorus, which accompanies the London
Symphony Orchestra when its repertoire requires voices.
"One of the biggest thrills of my life as a musician
was the opportunity to sing Bernstein's 'Mass'
last spring," he says. "It is rarely performed,
as the requirements are huge, and the chorus parts are
wickedly difficult."
Keith says two Seattle Pacific University music faculty
members shaped him dramatically: former Dean of the
School of Fine and Performing Arts and piano instructor
Marcille Mack, and Professor of Music Education Carol
Scott. "Any successes I have enjoyed can be attributed
to those two great ladies," he says. And he and
David Anderson, director of SPU's Concert Choir,
sang together in choirs while students at Spokane Falls
Community College.

Alumna Puts Her Sociology
Degree to Work With Children of Prisoners
KATIE HAGSTROM '01 lives in
a New York county with a dubious distinction: It's
ranked 11th in the nation for childhood poverty. The
county also includes 7,000–13,000 children with
a parent in prison. The neighborhoods are tough, and
youth-on-youth violence is common. "But we're
going into those neighborhoods, and I love it!"
says Katie.
While earning a master's degree from Roberts
Wesleyan College in 2003, Katie interned at Bethel Christian
Fellowship, a large multicultural church. When the church
received a grant to implement Project COPE (Children
of Prisoners Embraced), she was hired as the program's
full-time social worker for the program.
The daughter of counselors, Katie laughs now to remember
that as a child she vowed not to follow in her parents'
career footsteps. But at Seattle Pacific, her classes
with Assistant Professor of Social Work JoEllen Watson,
and a campus
visit from the group Evangelicals
For Social Action, convinced Katie to put her sociology
degree into action. Watson suggested Katie enter the
master's degree program in social work at Roberts
Wesleyan. She did, and moved to Rochester, New York.
Today, Katie remains in Rochester coordinating Project
COPE. Unable to return for her SPU class reunion because
of the distance, she's regularly
visiting families who have a parent in prison. Her plan
is to enroll 100 kids in the program. "We're
up to 64, and I enrolled six kids tonight!" she
Once children sign up, they meet regularly with a mentor
for fun and support.
Together, they play sports, do crafts, explore the city,
or participate in projects such as flower-planting.
High school kids have also been taken on college visits.
"There's something special about this program,"
says Katie.

Founders of Orange County California Internet Company Chiefmall.Com Aim to Localize All Contractors Worldwide on the Web
Chiefmall.com, the networking website for contractors, has recently announced the launch of their website which aims to localize all contractors worldwide on the web.
Chiefmall.com could be seen as a cross between Google and MySpace for users and contractors. Users can easily locate contractors nearby, contact them, or post jobs to them. Contractors in return can easily build up their own website with contact information and picture portfolio."With the web serving as an everyday fixture of our lives and a useful tool for contractors, it made sense to localize them and provide users the ability to post jobs for free," as stated by Chris Schulman, president of Chiefmall.com.
At Chiefmall.com, a contractor can create their own website by updating their existing listing on Chiefmall or by simply joining in. These customized webpages are designed to display unlimited photos, company logo, service map, contact information, and more. The framework of Chiefmall.com with its fast search queries and free job postings creates a powerful tool for the web. The added benefit of having the pages indexed with other major search engines gives users and contractors maximum web exposure with the largest contractor directory.
The website lays the groundwork for an international network of localized contractors, online users, and free job posts. Today, Chiefmall.com encompasses over 420,000 licensed contractor webpages in 9 U.S. states, including all active licensed contractors in California.
Chiefmall.com, Inc. is a California Corporation. Business operations are conducted in Dana Point, California. For inquiries and comments visit the Contact Us section at www.chiefmall.com.

To clarify, XHTML 1.1 is a single DTD representing XHTML 1.0 Strict minus deprecated features (and adding in <applet>). There has been talk of adding a second DTD (currently called "Legacy") that includes all of the features of Transitional and Frameset, but including this as part of our deliverables is not yet a consensus decision of the WG.

Frank is correct, except that we hope to release a working draft of XHTML 2.0 within the lifespan of the current HTML working group, with a Proposed Recommendation by late Spring 2000. Additions to the core HTML functionality are done as additional modules to the XHTML 2.0 DTD. At this time there has been no determination as to any future HTML WG: the membership of the W3C has yet to decide whether to sponsor a new HTML WG or extend the current one.

Rawhide Colorado Event
There are lots of rallies and events that occur in the US each year, but virtually none of them are dedicated to the adventure rider. Here you'll find a series of rides and events that are all tailored specifically to "you" the adventure rider. These events are all organized by the companies represented in this guide, and are designed to provide you with a wide range of adventures from multi-day "rallies" to single afternoon adventure rides. You might be wondering why we're doing this. The answer is actually quite simple; we know that the more fun folks have riding their bikes and actually enjoy being an Adventure Rider the better it will be for all of us. We want you to have fun and we want you to actually "get some use" from both your motorcycle and the products you've equipped it with.
RawHyde broke new ground last November in California with our very first attempt to have a true "Expo" for the Adventure Motorcycle crowd and it was a smashing success. Nearly 500 riders joined us for three days of fun, classes, clinics and more. Now we're pleased to announce we'll be doing it again in Colorado!
RawHyde designed Adventure Days to help you learn anything and everything you've ever wanted to know about Adventure Riding plus an opportunity to take some great rides, enjoy the camaraderie of a shared "Adventure" and generally have a whole bunch of fun with great people.
You can look at this event as part RawHyde Rally, Part "Expo", and part Trade show featuring many of the vendors serving the Adventure Market (See vendor list below). There will be a strong focus on education and knowledge, we'll be hosting GPS seminars ,suspension and bike set up classes, tire changing & bead breaking clinics, off road riding clinics, packing clinics, etc. Our friends from Klim will host a detailed class on how today's high tech riding suits repel water, protect you… and keep you comfortable at the same time. There will be clinics or classes on every imaginable topic. The list of classes and clinics is growing continuously.
There will also be daily rides - some will be guided others will be self -guided via GPS tracks which we'll provide for you. We'll have evening entertainment, movies, travel stories and more. We'll have many of the companies that support our sport showing their latest products and many of the clinics will be taught by representatives of these companies.
But wait… there's more! On top of all these classes, clinics and fun; all your food, beverages, camping, guided rides etc. are all included too… as well as a *souvenir shirt.
So – the bottom line is this: If you're serious (or curious) about Adventure Riding; you've got an awesome opportunity to both experience and learn about everything related to our world. Three days of fun, learning, and excitement.
*Souvenir shirt is based on availability.
For RawHyde's ADV Days
WHEN: Sept. 12th-15th

Sommelier Christie Dufault of Gary Danko - Biography
San Francisco, CA
GARY DANKO Wine Director Christie Dufault approaches her calling with an inborn passion. "I come from a family of wine lovers. My father, a wine collector, inspired me by taking me to Chateau Margaux when I was sixteen. I was exposed to great vintages and educated early on in the pleasures of wine."
Since her mid-teens, Dufault has taken yearly sojourns in France where she has studied, worked and traveled. She has a native's grasp of the language. For the past seven years she has led tours for Butterfield & Robinson through the country's premier wine regions.
Dufault's encyclopedic wine knowledge has grown steadily since her early years. Her first job out of college, in a respected Boston wine shop, led her to seek work as a sommelier. In record time, she was appointed wine director of the Marker restaurant in Philadelphia's Adams-Mark Hotel, where she created an excellent wine program and greatly expanded the cellar.
During her time at the hotel, Dufault hosted nationally attended wine events, and her next opportunity, at Restaurant Vincent Guerithault, came from just such an event. Phoenix-based Guerithault served as guest chef at one of the Marker's wine dinners; impressed by Dufault's work, Guerithault invited her to serve as the wine director of his Arizona restaurant. The elegant atmosphere and haute cuisine at Guerithault was an ideal match for Dufault's classical training. Dufault built an impressive cellar, expanding it from 165 to 900 wines and adding great vintages that partnered well with Guerithault's cooking. Gourmet Magazine's Reader's Poll cited the Phoenix eatery as the Best Restaurant for Wine in Arizona, and the Wine Spectator followed suit with a Best of Award of Excellence. Dufault reluctantly left Guerithault's after four fruitful years, moving west to work in Northern California, America's premier wine region.
At Carmel's annual Masters of Food & Wine event, Dufault met noted sommelier Debbie Zachareas. When Zachareas began plans for San Francisco's Bacar restaurant, she invited Dufault to assist her in creating the wine program. The wine-driven eatery was an instant hit. Following her success in the bustling, casual air of Bacar, it was a quick step to the modern elegance of GARY DANKO. Dufault came highly recommended to Danko, and soon an excellent partnership came to be. "Danko already had a very fine cellar, thick with 'classics'," explains Dufault. "I've expand the range, adding wines that pair well with Gary's light touch. I want to bring in more refined white wines from Alsace and the Loire Valley. These graceful wines echo the finesse of the cooking. I also want to have the very best Champagne list in the city. I'd love to see all our guests begin an evening with their favorite sparkler."
Not long after Dufault's arrival at GARY DANKO, she submitted a new and improved wine list to The Wine Spectator and was awarded the magazine's highest honor, The Grand Award. Today the wine list at GARY DANKO boasts over 1,400 selections with a wide range of varieties, regions and styles, with vintages spanning three centuries. There are over 150 half bottle and an exquisite choice of wines by the glass and by the half glass. As a result, at GARY DANKO there is something on the list for everyone and Christie Dufault is there to graciously guide diners through an extraordinary culinary experience.

The Meters fully exploited the organ/guitar/bass/drums unit as a vehicle for funk in the '70s, and the Mighty Imperials continue in their early tradition with a bump and grind that seductively and irresistibly demands that you shake your booty. You most definitely wouldn't know the difference if you didn't have liner notes or a reviewer telling you this, but all four members of the band were sixteen when they made the record. (Joseph Henry, the vocalist featured on four tracks, was the only one old enough to buy smokes.) Apparently they skipped school to do it. Whatever. It's not the longest recording, but it's solid all the way through.
There's some contrast between the old school grooves of the instrumental tracks (seven) and the more peppy, James Brownish vocal outings (four). Predictably, guitar and organ get more time to stretch out when they don't have to share the stage with words, and on tunes like "Jody's Walk" and "Duck Hunt," the musicians make the most of very simple repeating riffs. Soloists don't get much space here, but that would be totally out of place. Minutes later, "Joseph's Popcorn" appears with unidentified horns in the background, another variation on the theme of repetition. "Take me to the bridge!", Henry shouts midway through. (Heard that before? Probably. Some of the rest, too.)
These inspired, sweeping gestures mine the funk tradition and expose its power to communicate raw energy through simple terms. Thunder Chicken is a thirty year-old time capsule that ought to perk up some ears to a classic sound that never died.
