Oct 28 (Reuters) - When her law office offered flu shots in mid-October, Kelly Walsh, a paralegal in Boston, hesitated.
Walsh didn't get vaccinated last year and didn't get sick. The year before, she had flu-like symptoms for a week after getting the shot.
"I also worried if everyone at work knew I got a flu shot, it'll be harder to take sick days if I do get the flu," says Walsh, 38.
Ultimately, however, Walsh got jabbed, and experts agree it was the right call. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Vanderbilt University Medical Center found that getting a flu shot reduced the risk of flu-related hospitalization by 71.4 percent for all adults and 76.8 percent for those over age 50 during the 2011-2012 flu season.
The CDC estimates deaths associated with the flu number between 3,000 and 49,000 people each year.
One reason people don't get vaccinated is cost. Flu shots aren't always free. Most insurance does cover vaccinations administered at a doctor's office. But walk into your local CVS or Walgreen and you'll likely pay at least $35. Insurance won't necessarily cover shots at retail pharmacies.
Employers can help bring down those costs - and likely save themselves money as well. The CDC estimates that seasonal influenza outbreaks average $10.4 billion in direct costs due to medical treatment and hospitalizations. Part of those costs are then passed along to employers in the form of higher premiums and lost productivity.
Typically, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year for flu-related illness. Many large firms like Walsh's offer free flu shot clinics, but letting workers know they won't be penalized for taking sick leave can also pay dividends for businesses big and small.
Last winter was a big year for influenza, and it caught many patients and healthcare providers off-guard after several years of milder flu seasons. It's too early to know how this year's will compare or even how many people have come down with the flu so far this autumn since those numbers, tracked by the CDC, weren't reported during the recent government shutdown.
Flu activity usually peaks in the United States in January or February. Recent studies from the European Union show the vaccine offers less immunity and has a shorter duration than previously thought, according to Kris Ehresmann, director of the infectious disease division at the Minnesota Department of Health. "But now is the time to get vaccinated," she adds.
What's new this year, says Dr. Michael Young, medical officer at the CDC, is that many flu shots will immunize against four strains of the flu virus for the first time, an improved protection over years past. Drug companies plan to make 135 million to 139 million doses of vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Several vaccination options are available. They include: a standard dose for adults and children, a high-dose shot for people over age 65, a nasal spray for those who don't like needles, and a dose that is egg-free for patients who are allergic.
Everyone over the age of 6 months should get one, experts say. "We don't prefer one vaccine over another," Young says. "Whatever vaccine patients choose, we're happy."
The elderly, children under age 5, pregnant women, and people with other chronic health conditions are most vulnerable to the flu.
Getting immunized earlier guarantees protection whenever the flu season starts in earnest, Young notes. Plus, adults who don't get vaccinated can put others, including children, at risk. Only 42 percent of Americans got vaccinated in the 2011-2012 flu season, the latest data available from the CDC.
As an added bonus, a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that up to 36 percent of those vaccinated reduced their risk of heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular health problems just by getting a flu shot. Based on these findings, the researchers calculated that one death or serious illness due to heart trouble could be prevented by vaccinating 58 additional people.
Peter Delgado, a 66-year-old self-employed accountant, recently left a Cambridge, Massachusetts, Rite Aid before getting his flu shot. "There was too much paperwork to fill out, and they wanted to charge me $70," says Delgado, who lives nearby. The high-dose version of the shot, recommended for older people, often costs more than the normal vaccine.
His wife, however, soon sent him back in. "I told him, 'If you get sick from the flu and can't work, you'll feel foolish over $70,' " says Anne Delgado, 66, who is retired. "One shot could mean food on the table for us."

The Zombie: Don of the Dead
If you've read my work here, you'll know how much I love the Manhattan. Along with the Old Fashioned, the Martini and the Daiquiri, I think it's one of the most essential historical cocktails and one of the crucial uilding-block flavor profiles; of all those essentials, it's definitely my favorite as well. I am, in short, a bit of a Manhattan evangelist.
So what I am about to say may come across as somewhere between heresy and shock: I think it is quite possible that the Zombie is actually the best ever example of the cocktail-making art... Read More

First, a BIG thank you to thebollywoodfan for his generous invitation. When I was offered the chance to write this, I had a sudden insight into the meaning of the phrase "mixed emotions". I love this film with a passion, and that's part of the reason why I was so scared of writing about it. It is an acknowledged masterpiece, and has been analysed, dissected, lauded, and critiqued so many times by so many people much more qualified than I. It is an honour to be asked to write about it, but how can I do it justice? Happily, the genius of the film shows me the way.
What is it that makes Pyaasa a masterpiece? For me, it's simple -- it's the complete package. If the best art is simultaneously universal and uniquely personal then Pyaasa easily meets that qualification. The only way I can add anything to the reams already written about this film is to illustrate how this is true for me.
I am not a fan of arthouse cinema. When I think of names like Bergman and Ray, I acknowledge their mastery of the art form, but their work does not move me. I just don't do grim as entertainment, which is why I got bored before finishing even one of the Apu trilogy, and was mad as hell at the end of Mother India that she hadn't done that at the beginning of the movie, thus sparing me several suicidally depressing hours. It's precisely this anti-arthouse bent of mine which is the first proof of Pyaasa's truly special nature. It is NOT a fun film, no wet saris, no dancing around trees, and certainly no happy reunions of long lost brothers. It IS an art film, in the sense that it's a film all about art, its place in the world, and how that world treats artists. I shouldn't even like it, so why do I love it?
I am going to focus on four reasons:
Songs & Serendipity
As anyone who comes to Hindi movies without a knowledge of the language will testify, one of the biggest problems is the lack of subtitles on many songs, especially in older films. Pyaasa was one of the first films I watched when I started getting into Hindi films, and I was very lucky that the copy I got not only had all the songs subtitled, but had good subtitles, that captured the essence of the songs as well as any translation could. Thanks to those subtitles, I got a hint of an important truth - that its songs are sublime. This is not a revelation; Sahir's lyrics are justly famous. But since this is a personal appreciation, here's why I think the lyrics are a product of genius. They were written by a bitter alcoholic misanthrope, a Marxist atheist, abandoned by his father, and raised by his mother. I am devoutly religious and passionately apolitical, physically unable to tolerate even the smell of alcohol, and raised from the age of three by my father after my mother left. In other words, in every important respect Sahir and I are polar opposites, yet his words just clicked. This is part of the magic of Pyaasa and part of what makes writing about it so difficult. For the film's storyline, the genius of Sahir's lyrics is not merely an added bonus, it's absolutely critical. The entire point of the film is that Vijay is supposed to be a prodigiously gifted poet, so the film would have fallen completely flat if the songs he wrote were Hallmark cards, or full of the banal clichés of most filmi songs.
There is nothing banal or clichéd about the songs of Pyaasa, no eyelashes, fragranced breaths, or chiming anklets to be found. Every time I listen to them, and I listen to them often, it motivates me to keep trying to improve my Hindi, to get a better feel for the best work of the best lyricist in Hindi film history. In total seriousness, my advice to any non-Hindi/Urdu speakers who want to really get the most out of Pyaasa is this: Learn Hindi, or Urdu. Learning even just a little will transform the experience, giving a better sense of how good the poetry, the heart of the movie, really is. You also then get the joy of getting more and more out of the film each time you watch it as your grasp of the language improves. To protect myself from naysayers, I should add that I know the language of Sahir is really more Urdu than Hindi, but again, this is my post, and I'm biased because I can read Devanagari, but I can't read Nastaliq, as much as I would love to make sense of the most gorgeous script I've ever seen. Although I'm convinced that learning to write it as a child left my Dad's English handwriting almost illegible! Powerful poetry was point one, point two is poetry in motion:
Waheeda Rehman
This film was my introduction to this amazing actress, and she cast a spell immediately. I'm not even going to try to pretend to be objective, Waheeda is gorgeous. Her beauty is truly luminescent. Is she as beautiful as the full moon, or as the Sun in all its glory? Whichever it is, she's divinely beautiful. It may sound superficial to rave on about her beauty, but the special nature of her physical attractiveness is also important to this film. Of course it's important that she is a very good actress, and delivers a great performance here. Her character is a prostitute. Not a courtesan or a tawaif, just a prostitute. There's no Pretty Woman glamour, no glossy euphemising here, and that's exactly why for me, the ethereal nature of Waheeda's beauty is so important to the story. Would Vijay have followed her so eagerly as she teased him with "jaane kyaa tune kahi, jaane kyaa maine suni" if she hadn't looked the way she did? It's as if she shines from within, so that her beauty rises above the ugliness of her world in reflection of her true character. The way the story develops in the film suggests that this is what we are supposed to think, and I don't think there was another actress at the time, or since, who could have conveyed that so perfectly. Vijay may be the hero, but the anchor of the film is a woman, a character sympathetically written as a real person, one given enough depth to let Waheeda bring her to life. What makes this all the more remarkable is that at least two of Dutt's films are chauvinistic (Chaudhvin ka Chand) and even disturbingly misogynistic (Mr & Mrs 55). Not Pyaasa, though!
Guru Dutt's direction
Every time I watch Pyaasa, I get the impression that right up until the very end, the dominant emotion is anger. Anger at the faithlessness and hypocrisy of almost everyone in the film. From Meena, Vijay's first love, who literally sold out, to his own brothers, whose ferocious contempt for him did not prevent them from trying to cash in on him. Almost all of the songs are angry, but especially jinhe naaz ke and yeh duniya agar mil. I have to take a moment to focus on one of those two songs - jinhe naaz ke. When I first watched Pyaasa, this song sailed right past me. I had no idea what I was missing. This is still the most astonishingly raw and angry song I've experienced in my limited exposure to Hindi films. It's no surprise at all that it was banned for years. It is something of a surprise that it was ever allowed to remain in the film, given its subject matter. I put that down to the triumph of art. As savage as the song is in attacking its powerful targets, it is simply so beautiful as to place itself out of reach of censorious scissors. It's hard to imagine Pyaasa without this song, especially if the stories are true that Dutt's first ever visit to a brothel was the inspiration for what became the screenplay . The song also demonstrates Sahir's mastery of his craft by the way he adapted a nazm he'd written earlier. He simplified the language for the new medium, but kept the theme and poetry intact.
With so much anger and bitterness, the film could have been quite toxic. Instead, it manages to be uplifting, and Dutt's direction deserves much of the credit. The best "message films" put their message across without sounding like a sermon. For me, the two best message movies of the 1950s were Naya Daur and Pyaasa. Very different films, but both made listening to their message an enjoyable experience. In Pyaasa, Dutt avoids the trap of coming across as self-righteously preachy. The film has a good balance of sentiment and a good mix of characters, ensuring that even though the audience walks away having got the point, they can still have enjoyed the experience as well. Which brings me to point four:
Johnny Walker
This was also my first Johnny Walker film, and like Waheeda, he made an indelible impression. I think this film may demonstrate his comic genius better than many others, by virtue of the dark nature of the film. His role was to lighten the mood, to provide comic "relief" in the most literal sense of that word, but garish slapstick would have been totally out of place. Instead, we got a warm, lighthearted person, a character who clearly enjoyed life and wanted to see people smile, but who showed himself in the end to be willing to stand up and be counted, when it mattered. When I first watched this film I had almost no Hindi, but sar jo tera chakraye still proved an instant earworm, infectiously happy with a pitch perfect picturisation. Johnnie Walker's subtle grasp of comedy played a huge part in helping this film be something more than unrelentingly bleak.
This was never going to be a plot summary sort of blog post, this was always going to be a personal pitch for Pyaasa. Watching this movie and listening to its simply sublime songs should make you thirsty for more. In the movie Vijay ends up an insane asylum, and more than a few of the desis I know or have met think I'm slightly paagal to have a t-shirt with the first verse of Yeh Duniya Agar Mil on it. They think it is even weirder when I tell them that my favourite lines from that song are also going on a T-shirt "jalaa do, jalaa do ise phuu.Nk Daalo ye duniyaa, jalaa do" That final song ofPyaasa is my anthem for life. I agree wholeheartedly with every single word of it, and couldn't begin to count the number of times I've listened to it. It's also really the climax of the film, though not quite the end. So what better way to end this post, than with that song:
For further Pyaasa-related reading, I strongly recommend Nasreen Munni Kabir's excellent The Dialogue of Pyaasa and Chakley, for the nazm that became jinhe naaz ke. Once again to my gracious host - aapki meherbani ke liye, BAHUT BAHUT SHUKRIYA!

Radiation Oncology
Radiation therapy plays a beneficial role in the treatment of many types of solid tumors, and is a treatment option for many cancer patients.
Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells in locations where the cancer cannot be surgically removed. The goals of radiation therapy treatment depend on the location, extent of the disease, and type of cancer being treated. Combined with surgery or alone, radiation therapy may be used with the intent to eradicate the cancer and prevent local recurrence (definitive therapy). In cases where the cancer is very advanced or invasive, or when the disease has already spread to other parts of the body, radiation therapy can still help by shrinking or stabilizing the growth of the tumor and alleviating clinical signs without extensive surgery or significant side effects (palliative therapy). Chemotherapy may also be recommended as part of a definitive or palliative treatment protocol for some types of cancer.
Purdue Radiation Oncology is the only veterinary radiation oncology facility in the Midwest that offers state-of-the-art intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), a precision technique that allows the radiation oncologist to maximize the radiation dose to the tumor while avoiding closely associated critical normal structures such as the eyes, brain, spinal cord, lungs, kidney or heart. Our sophisticated 6 MV Varian EX linear accelerator and 120-leaf multi-leaf collimator (MLC) allow us to sculpt the radiation treatment beam to the unique shape of each tumor, and minimize side effects in complex locations, such as nasal tumors and brain tumors.
Advanced imaging tools including digital radiography, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine are used at Purdue's VTH to aid in both diagnosis and treatment planning. Our radiation oncology team works closely with specialists in surgery and medical oncology (chemotherapy) to provide cutting-edge, comprehensive cancer care for your pet.

I have an under-insulated roof above a "cathedral ceiling". The shingles need to be replaced this year. It occurred to me that this could be an opportunity to insulate from above.
Can it make sense to insulate above the plywood roof deck? Or to remove the plywood roof deck, add insulation, and re-install the plywood roof deck on top of that?
Accessing the insulation from inside would require ripping down and re-installing a perfectly good ceiling. I believe there's no more than 6-8 inches of fiberglass insulation in that ceiling, and in some places where there's an empty cavity, it appears the fiberglass has fallen out of position.
The home is in Massachusetts. I would love to hear from anyone on the theory and practice of doing this, and any real-world experience.
Views: 22520
Sorry I can't access where it is but your best bet is to remove the plywood and add Closed cell SPF leave a gap below the new applied plywood sheathing and ventilate from the soffit to the ridge vent, this will prevent the ice dams.
A project was done on Net Zero Energy Efficient home and this is what they did along with other upgrades.
I believe your best option is to deal with this when you have the roof off. I would suggest, if possible is to remove all of the existing insulation and replace with dense pack cellulose. If you achieve the proper density of 3.5 to 4.0 #'s per cubic foot ventilation will not be an issue. I live in upstate NY and have done this several times with great results
we have many successful jobs done where a roof was removed, we sprayed closed cell foam down on the interior sheetrock and a new roof was applied. it is very expensive to do this, but it works well. you need a minimum of 3 inches of foam, and if you have space for 5 go ahead, but over 5 is frivolous. In this situation you can end up with a vented roof becasue the foam does not completely fill the cavity.
If you are a true energy geek, put a continuous layer of rigid foam between the rafters and the new deck before you roof it. that rigid will far outperform another 4 inches between rafters. I don't know what the snow load requirement in your area is, but most rigid foam is rated around 25-27 psi compressive strength. in this case, don't vent it,a nd seal the rigid to the underlying spray foam along all edges. Skipping the edge seal is criminal to me.
adding a roof over a roof is OK if you remove the old roof at the intersection of roof and walls and seal between the original ceiling and the new roof insulation system. if you miss that step you are wasting your time as the new insulation system is suspended over a failed system with infiltration from all sides.
recessed lights and side attics like the one you describe over the closet are tricky. you can suspend piece of rigid foam under the rafters in the 'attic' space above the closet, and spray down on it. the spray foam will 'glue' the rigid foam to the underside of the rafters and your roof will work.
for recessed lights you need thick roof cavities. otherwise, have them removed. at minimum replace them with AT/IC units and create an insulated dome over them. TenMats are good for this, but your rafters need to be 12 inches or more for it to work.
A couple of replies (Robert and Sean) are on it -- fill the cavities with cellulose, add enough foam above the deck, then re-roof without venting. But, you wanted some theory to back this up...
Note that cellulose in unvented ceilings is a bad idea UNLESS you get enough foam on the deck above to keep the roof sheathing above the dew point. See Building Science Corp. -- http://www.buildingscience.com/documents/insights/bsi-043-dont-be-d... for the science .
Why install the cellulose at all? Without some "filler" in the air space in the rafter cavities, the existing insulation is essentially non-functional.
I am always a fan of leaving intact drywall intact -- I just hate mudding joints and re-painting! So I'd work from above.
That means the simplest approach is to strip the existing roof, blow the cavities (with celloluse OR dense-blow fiberglass) then apply foam on top in accordance with the tables in Chapter 8 of the IRC. Then lay another deck surface and re-roof.
Then, if you really want to do this so it'll never need attention in your lifetime or mine, lay down a metal roof. And, that way, no one will have to deal with the usual shingle warranty hassles -- the shingle manufacturer arguing that their product failed because you didn't vent under the decking.
Thanks to everyone for your replies. The response was way beyond my expectations! I really appreciate it. I'll be glad to see the snow lasting longer on the roof next winter, and the room not getting so hot in the summertime.
Lots of great information. This string of information will be useful for many others besides me, I'm sure.
Article by Joe Lstiburek. I don't think its a project that I would undertake, but it makes for a good read.
I have a similar cathedral ceiling. Unfortunately, it has pretty new shingles, as we re-roofed the house a couple years ago without my realizing that this presented an opportunity to improve the cathedral ceiling.
I got a quote from a local (I'm also in MA), experienced insulation contractor to blow in dense-pack cellulose without having to tear (much of) the roof off. This certainly sounds good to me, as we love this room, but I'd bet that this room is responsible for a disproportionate amount of our heating bill, in large part due to the existing "insulation."
The room also has a few recessed cans, which are easily located from the outside during the winter via melt patterns. I am going to replace these with low-profile LEDs (again, we like the lighting the recessed lights provide, but hate the energy performance). This seems like a no-brainer.
I'm interested if anyone else has done a similar job, and would like to hear how it turned out.
Two reasons not to attack a new waterproof roof:
1. 100% of the patches have to be perfectly waterproof for near 20 yrs, which for me means a double patch, which...
2. Leaves you with an irregular roof, assuming you can get shingles that match to begin with (heh, looks count too)
When retrofitting insulation, adding to existing insulation, you need to keep it simple, keep costs low, or the payback time is just too long for anyone not trying to pass the home on to the next generation. Doubling up with other work, like roof replacements is GREAT. Ripping off perfectly good sheathing and siding, not so great. Remember, double the insul does NOT mean double the savings, you need to run the numbers and just do what makes sense.
I hear that you like the room under the roof alot, but I'm going to suggest you work from below for now. It'll help with the hi hats too, and before you go all LED, run the numbers and see WHEN you'll start saving money. Compact Fls probably have a better payback time, and better color quality is available.
Get some sheets of HIGH density rock wool, and a saw to cut it. The price is comparative to foam, no smoke problem in fires, no chemical outgassing, can take water and dry out and still work, it allows vapor back out to dry the system if needed, and the R value you buy, is the one you'll still have in 20 yrs and will match the aged R of foam.
Put up 2x's at right angles to the rafters - if you want 4 inches, nail a piece of 2x over each rafter. Space 'em a bit less than the width of the glass wool to get a tight friction fit, butt sheets tight against each other. Gypsum board over and paint, oh, might as well caulk the GB to the 2x's for an airtight drywall installation. Overall, iIt's not going to be that much messier than painting the room, just take a couple days more.
You'll then have broken thermal bridging through your rafters, and gained 3 - 10% right there, depending on how the roof is framed. You'll get rid of the thermal holes at the lights, and still be able to use recesssed lights probably. Thermally, you'll go from probably a badly installed batt (alas, batt is usually badly installed) in the 6 inch rafter space, with an assembly R of maybe 15, to an assembly R of 27 for 2 inch rockwool. Which is just about double, which is just about the MINIMUM insulation you need to add to an assembly to have any hope of a good pay back time. Triple may or may not be worth it, you'd need to run the numbers. More than happy to run them for you, gratis, go to roughdesigns.com, hit the mail link, and I'll fill you in on all I'd need - it's lots more than just what the insulation is.
Russell Higgins
We have been using the technique of removal of the roof deck along with the shingles for a while now. Results are quite amazing. However the only way to get amazing results is to use closed cell foam in the rafter cavity. We have been doing it this way leaving a minimum of 3/4" air space above the finish foam for roof deck ventilation when complete. Be cautious of Can lights spray foam is not supposed to be used even on IC rated cans. Our solution is to retrofit the cans with an LED kit that is tagged as a modified fixture. The added benefit is that you can seal the wall to ceiling connection from the top side. Keep the soffit ventilation (or add new) and add a new ridge vent when done.
George, you got many great comments and suggestions. All the issues were considered by the combination of the comments. If you go to the Building Sciences web site and access Research Report - 0404 you will get a detailed explanation of the issues and diagrams of the appropriate roof design.
No way would I start from the bottom. It is so much easier to re-due the roof then remove drywall and trim and whatever else is on the ceiling. Other thing not considered is the control of debris, fiberglass, drywall dust, possible mold exposure, mice, bird or vermin droppings. However I do agree with Roxul over closed cell foam as it must be applied correctly or you may encounter some very fishy problems.
Definitely anytime the roof is on its last legs work rip it off and work from the top.
Otherwise, Instead of removing the exisitng GB below the ceilinig you just leave it and work on top of it - (working on the assumption there's insulation in between the rafters already, which seems to be the case in these postings.).
The messiest part of the furring out a cathedral clg is taping and sanding the GB, you can "sponge" the joint compound, I do, it works. Though, you don't want to lard on the compound, as I've seen crews do and rely on snow storm scale sanding to get rid of it.
Adding to existing insulation is usually a marginal energy savings.
To get a justifiable pay back for most folk demolishing GB from below, or roof deck from above, or ripping off or covering up an good roof with years left in it will push the payback to 10 yrs or beyond. I'm all for Deep Energy Retrofits, but ONLY if you have "spare' money you definitely won't need for a decade or more.
I don't, lots of folks don't.
Also, furring out below and uisng high density rock wool is feasible for a DIY'er over a few weekends, for those who can't afford contractors - I keep telling myself it's a good thing working all those weekends as it cuts the payback time in half! I prefer working a bit more, and using the money for a GC, but I can't find enough work right now..

ONTARIO — Two alleged gang members, one on probation through Prison Realignment, were arrested late Wednesday for reportedly shooting and killing a man late Tuesday night, Ontario Police Department officials.
James Edward Hall, 24, and Danny Ray Contreras, 21, both of Ontario are currently being held at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga for the slaying of 27-year-old Samuel Solorio, also a known gang member, police officials said.
Officers were called out to the 100 block of W. Park Street shortly around 11:30 p.m. for reports of shots fired in the area, according to authorities. Officers found Solorio lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and upper body, according to reports.
Paramedics transported Solorio to a local hospital where he later died.
Detectives spoke to witnesses and determined Hall and Contreras were allegedly involved in the fatal shooting.
Through an investigation, officers arrested Hall, who was on probation through AB 109, following a traffic stop in the 800 block of E. Holt Boulevard Wednesday evening.
Contreras was arrested early Thursday morning at his brother's home in the 4700 block of Canoga Street in Montclair, police officials said.
Hall was placed on community supervision through Prison Realignment for an assault with a deadly weapon case from 2010, according to San Bernardino court records. He was originally charged with robbery and the assault with a deadly weapon, but the robbery charge was dropped and he pleaded no contest to the remaining charge.
An initial search revealed Contreras doesn't have a criminal record in San Bernardino County.

Wine Wednesday — Champagne Rules!
Gentlemen! Good afternoon and welcome to your weekly installment of Wine Wednesday. New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and we will all be looking for some sort of sparkling wine to pop open when the clock strikes midnight. In honor of 2013, I want to talk with you about the rules of Champagne.
When speaking of any wine-producing region in Europe, one must know that the wine produced in that region is produced under a strict set of rules. Any wine-producing region in Europe is like the town in 'Footloose;' the townspeople will stop you at any cost to prevent you from breaking their rules, doesn't matter if it's about dancing or wine making. Champagne is no different.
Champagne is a wine region Northeast of Paris that produces sparkling wine. Calling any other sparkling wine Champagne makes you look stupid. Think about it this way, calling any sparkling wine Champagne is like calling any car a Ferrari. So stop doing it, you rube.
Champagne-Making Rules
There a plethora of rules that need to be followed to make Champagne, but as long as you aren't trying to produce your own Champagne there are only three rules that are important to know:
1. Champagne can only be produced using three grapes. Those three grapes are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (pronounced Pee-No Mew-Ney).
2. Champagne gets its bubbles using a method of carbonation called Methode Champenoise (pronounced Meth-Ud Sham-Pen-New-Aww). Methode Champenoise is a basic method of secondary fermentation (carbonation). This means the wine makers add sugar to already fermented wine. The sugar and the yeast cause a chemical reaction which causes carbonation instead of alcohol. Any beer you drink that states that it is bottled conditioned uses the same method of carbonation as Champagne.
3. The rule of dosage: Champagne producers add a mixture to wine and sugar to the final product. The specific amount of sugar added to the Champagne is always denoted on the label with terms such as Brut, Extra-Dry or Demi-Sec. These terms can be confusing. Brut is the most popular and is a dry style of Champagne. Extra-Dry doesn't make sense because it is sweeter than Brut. Demi-Sec which literally means half dry in French is actually a sweeter style of Champagne.
Champagne-Drinking Rules
1. Don't spray the Champagne. You aren't in a rap video, so do not fire off the cork and super soak everyone around you with Champagne. You just paid 30 to 50 bucks, why waste it by spraying it all over everyone around you and look like a jerk?
2. Don't fire off the cork. It can be a lot of fun to fire off the cork of a Champagne bottle but you are likely to lose Champagne in the process. The proper method of opening a Champagne bottle is to grab the cork with one hand and the neck of the bottle with the other. Turn the cork and the bottle in different directions. You don't have to pull at the cork, the carbonation will do the work for you.
3. Use a Champagne flute. A Champagne flute is stemware engineered to maintain Champagne's gentle carbonation. You wouldn't drink beer out of a bowl, or wine out of a mug so why drink Champagne out of anything but a flute? (Exception: It is completely acceptable and encouraged to drink champagne/wine/grain alcohol out of a mug if you are drinking alone.)
Drink well,
The Wine Guy

Some people think the word cheapskate is an insult. Not me. I enjoy being called a cheapskate. It reminds me that I'm not what I used to be: a credit-card junkie. There was a time I used plastic to fill the gap between my pathetic income and the life I so rightly deserved.
When my six-figure bridge collapsed, (yes, you can take that to mean more than $100,000 in non-mortgage debt) I had two choices: change my ways or lose everything. Knowing I wouldn't do well with the latter, I opted for change. I could fill several books with all that happened and what I've learned (Wait! I have), but I'll cut to the chase. We didn't go bankrupt, we paid back every penny and now I live to tell. Yeah, you can call me a cheapskate any day, and I'll take it as a compliment.
So, you may be thinking, how did she do that?! I stopped spending every penny I had and all we hoped to have. Bottom line: I learned how to live on less than our income. A lot less. The steps are simple:
– Rein in your brain. You have to stop believing you are entitled to have it all now and then pay, and pay and pay for it later. The truth is you can't have it all, but you can have enough.
– Embrace frugality. I was repulsed by the word until I understood it. Frugality is just doing whatever it takes to spend less than you earn. What a novel concept. Frugal doesn't mean tacky, frumpy or stingy. The truth is we cheapskates (see? I called myself a cheapskate!) actually fix stuff instead of running out to buy new stuff. Another novel concept. We figure out how to use this for that when that costs more than this. We drive paid-for cars, we challenge everything and ask if there's a better way. Here's an example: I used to get my hair cut every four weeks. Then I figured how to stretch that to six. That's four-and-a-half fewer haircuts a year, which translates to — well, you do the math. Apply this kind of thinking to all areas of spending and just watch the dramatic results. Being a cheapskate is less embarrassing than you'd think, unless you count that half haircut. Ha-ha!
– Never pay retail. As cliched as that may sound, it's a principle to hang on to. With so many discount stores and America's gigantic garage sale — ebay.com, half.com, craigslist.org — you may never pay retail again. And how about that food? Let me tell you, I was a major coupon snob until I learned how to make those suckers work for me. Now I save around 60 percent off my grocery bill every week. I swallowed my pride and learned how to do it right. Watch for more on that in an upcoming column.
I could go on and on, but I'll close with this: If you begin to apply even a few of the things you read in this column every day, you will end up with extra cash. You just might want to open that savings account now so you'll be all ready to go.

Editor's Note: 63,000 Bugs and Counting
War Is Over, If You Want It
Tuning in CNN in the wee hours of the morning, I was privileged to catch a report from the CNN London bureau about the inevitability of Windows 2000 becoming the corporate standard in the next few years. Relying heavily on the opinions of a single analyst--someone from the Gartner Group, which tends to shill heavily for Microsoft--the reporter proclaimed that despite the presence of 63,000 bugs in the code, Windows 2000 was sure to do well.
A few years ago, Windows 2000 would have done well. At that time Microsoft possessed the keys to the kingdom and was the only serious player in the operating-system world. With the UNIX community seriously fragmented and Apple in a state of confusion, Microsoft could have pounced on the confusion and pushed the envelope with some cutting-edge OS design.
So what happened? Microsoft lost focus, deciding that it wanted to conquer the Internet via the consumer side, when in fact the business side was where the action is. MSN, MSNBC, Sidewalk, Carpoint, Slate...all these represented serious departures from Microsoft's position as a provider of tools. Yes, being a content provider is a whole lot sexier than being the assistant product manager for Personal Web Server, but in the long run Microsoft's success hinges far more on tools like PWS than Web sites like Slate.
So Microsoft managed to muck up one of the best brand names in the world by trying to become all things to all people. And that's why I'm not sensing that the release of Windows 2000 is any big deal. Except for a banner at my wife's office building -- where a banner over the front entrance from a law firm welcomed the release of Windows 2000 -- there has been remarkably little public reaction that I can see to the Windows 2000 release. (I wonder if the lawyers were excited about the release of Windows 2000 because it's great technology or because the 63,000 bugs represent a huge liability to be exploited in court.)
And there's one other important thing to realize: everyone knows Windows 2000 sucks. I've been a beta tester for Windows 2000 for years now--even before the product wore the proud moniker of Windows 2000--and I've never had the courage to load Windows 2000 betas on production machines, preferring instead to test Windows 2000 on isolated PCs. I never managed to do any real work on a Windows 2000 machine. Sure, I would play around and test it out to an extent, but when a late beta of Windows 2000 managed to crash repeatedly while in the middle of Solitaire, I knew the OS was doomed.
So what does this mean for Linux? Realistically, it shouldn't mean a darn thing. One of the more refreshing things about many of the members of the Linux community is a shared devotion to making Linux the best OS possible, no matter what other folks are doing. True, there are partisans out there whose hate for Microsoft far exceeds their love of Linux. But in the end, there are still many battles to be fought. We've won this round, so let's move on quickly and keep making Linux the best OS we possibly can.

Also I wanted to post a link to this gcode simulator, which simonm told me about. You may already have one, but just in case: http://camotics.org/
Now I'm confused. Your last few posts were about a spiky-looking 5 blade object that you called a rotor. The reason I asked for an SVG file, is so I could try and figure out why your cut lines weren't following the paths in some places.

Canadian 'eco-terrorist' surrenders in US
A Canadian woman accused of involvement in the "largest eco-terrorism case" in US history has surrendered after a decade on the run.
Rebecca Jeanette Rubin, 39, handed herself over to FBI agents on the Canadian-US border.
She is alleged to have been one of 13 members of a cell - known as The Family - linked to arson attacks in the western United States from 1996-2001.
The group believed their targets were damaging the environment.
The damage to the targets, including forest ranger stations and meat processing plants, ran to more than $40m (£25m).
'Protection oath'
Ms Rubin turned herself in to FBI agents at the Canadian border in Blaine, Washington state.
"Rubin's arrest marks the end of her decade-long period as an international fugitive in the largest eco-terrorism case in United States history," a statement by the Justice Department said.
The reason for Ms Rubin's surrender was not immediately known.
She faces arson and conspiracy charges and is expected to be tried in the state of Oregon.
Ten members of the cell - the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front - pleaded guilty in 2007 to conspiracy and arson charges and were sentenced to between 37 and 156 months in prison.
After Ms Rubin's surrender, two other members remain at large.
The cell members had reportedly taken oaths to protect each other from the authorities - making it a long and difficult investigation.

On the first day they were out, we just stayed in our jammies all day & chilled out. Then, on Thursday we went to my friend Miriam's house for our weekly "crafty" day. I've really enjoyed getting together with her every week & working on fun crafty goodness.
Here are a few of the goodies I've made:

According to reports all over the Internet, Konami won't publish Six Days in Fallujah. In Asahi Shimbun, a Konami spokesperson said "After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it."
If this is true, then the move is disappointing. Six Days in Fallujah was supposed to be a documentary-style game, trying to explain what exactly happened during Operation Phantom Fury. I don't think it was going to take a stance either way on the Iraq War, but it seemed to be intended to let Iraq veterans who grew up playing video games tell their stories in a new medium and one they're most familiar with.
Personally, I think it's a great idea, and it can may be change what people think of video games. I'm sure it would have made other people see it in a more mature light. But I think there's still a stigma around the medium. When you say "video game" and "Iraq War," they automatically think of Grand Theft Auto set in Baghdad.
The thing that I don't understand is that they already have books out about the Iraq War. Generation Killwas popular enough that it got it's own HBO miniseries. PBS' Frontline has done a show on The Invasion of Iraq. But when someone wants to make a video game trying to tackle the same subject, everyone is up in arms? Ridiculous.
I hope that Atomic Games can still find a way to release it or they can find someone who has the courage to do so.

Millennium Films has acquired Spenser Cohen's high-concept action script "High Value Target" which will serve as the scribe's directorial debut.
The story chronicles Mantis, a lethal special-operations unit that attacks a boat operated by Somali pirates. Essentially unfolding in real time, the movie almost entirely deals with the raid itself on the boat.
It's expected to be filmed from the point of view cameras attached to members of the unit, while Millennium reportedly sees this as the launcher for a possible low-budget action franchise following this special unit on various other missions.
Tripp Vinson and Brooklyn Weaver are producing.

TriTech Adds 50 New Customers and Increases Sales Bookings 85% Over 2012
TriTech Adds 50 New Customers and Increases Sales Bookings 85% Over 2012
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2014) - TriTech Software Systems proudly announces record-breaking 2013 sales bookings, adding 50 new customers to the nearly 3,000 current installations which span the United States and six other countries. This record growth was driven by sales of TriTech's robust Inform Suite, a fully integrated 911 telephony, computer aided dispatch, mobile, and records management solution. TriTech's ability to deliver a high performance enterprise public safety solution combined with a 91% rate of customer satisfaction make TriTech the premier vendor of choice for many law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies seeking to modernize their technology platform.

Supporting quotes:
Chris Maloney, President and CEO of TriTech Software Systems
"We are fortunate to have a strong and passionate team at TriTech dedicated to selling, developing, delivering, and supporting mission critical systems that manage some of the most demanding public safety systems in the world. The dedication of our team and the power of our tightly integrated 911, CAD, Mobile, RMS, and Jail solutions are being well received by our customers. In 2014, we will continue to build on TriTech's momentum in the market by enhancing our products and services to maintain premium levels of customer satisfaction as we continue to grow our customer base."
Tom Folie, Manager of Public Safety Applications for Local Government Information Services Association (LOGIS)
"Over a year-and-a-half ago, LOGIS members began a search for an innovative and dependable computer aided dispatch, mobile, and law enforcement records management solution to enhance public safety. The member agencies all share the same system but are independent with differing business processes, so it was critical to find solutions that would be very flexible. After an extensive evaluation process, the group selected TriTech for all applications -- even though there was no single vendor requirement. Our CAD/Mobile and RMS evaluators felt the TriTech solutions best fit our complex needs. What really impressed the consortium was TriTech's ability to get information efficiently to and from the end users to improve public safety."
