Proclaimed on it's website as "the nation's largest broadline closeout retailer", Big Lots will be one of the new anchors at the Norwichtown Commons.
According to the Eagle Rock Retail website, the store will occupy 33,494 square feet of the former Caldor Department Store.
Big Lots will be almost two times larger than its 18,500-square-foot Putnam Parkade store in Putnam. There are 11 other locations in Connecticut including East Hartford, Wallingford, and North Haven.
According to its website, "Big Lots has the power to negotiate the best deals in the business. We sell a broad range of high-quality, brand-name products, including consumables, seasonal items, furniture, housewares, toys, electronics, home decor, tools and gifts."
Michelle Bronson, of Oakdale, said, "I love Big Lots! Anytime I go down south, I am there. So glad we are going to have one."
Also new to our area will be a 1,267-square-foot Yogurt City. The frozen yogurt chain has other locations in Bristol, Danbury, and Enfield with plans for additional locations in West Hartford and Manchester.
Other eateries will include a 1,833-squre foot Asian Bistro and an unnamed 2,184-square-foot pizza shop.
National retail pet supply and pet service provider Petsense will be opening a 5,944-square-foot store as well.
The chain's nearest store is in the Tanger Outlet Center in Westbrook.
Its stores carry a large variety of pet foods along with grooming, vaccination clinics, and pet adoption events.
Several stores that were formerly part of the enclosed 300,000-square foot Norwichtown Mall will reopen in the new 160,000-square-foot Norwichtown Commons.
The only original tenant that was unchanged by the mall's conversion was the 73,239-square-foot Stop and Shop, which signed a 10-year lease extension.
Dress Barn downsized and renovated its former 9,900-square foot store. It reopened in a new 7,600-square-foot store last April before construction started on the rest of the shopping center.
The 5,000-square-foot Dollar Tree closed and reopened in an expanded 9,000-square-foot space just recently.
Other returning tenants include a 1,200-square-foot Hair Cuttery, a 1,565-square-foot Fancy Nails, and a 1,500-square-foot GNC.
GNC and Hair Cuttery have sister stores in the Montville Commons Shopping Center in Uncasville.
Unnamed tenants include a pending deal for a 17,000-square-foot health club, a 5,514-square-foot shoe store, a 2,497-square-foot gift shop, and a 4,201-square-foot sporting goods store.
The map shows a vacant 2,000-square-foot building off Town Street that is available for lease.
Previous plans for the center showed an outdoor seating area, an outparcel restaurant, a ladies fashion store, a burger and fries restaurant, a cellular store, and Aztec Sun Tanning.
In July 2011, Winstanley Associates, of Concord, Mass. bought the Norwichtown Mall for $15.75 million and announced a $8.5 million plan to downsize and renovate the mall.
In November, Winstanley purchased the 450,0000-square-foot Rhode Island Mall in Warwick, R.I. for $38 million with plans to redesign the mall's interior to create large spaces for anchor tenants. The mall is currently occupied by stand-alone anchors Sears, Wal-Mart, and Kohls.

Plymouth Police and Plymouth Fire Department personnel are on the scene of a "suspcious" fire outbreak in the 10500 block of 45th St Northwest, just north of a busy commercial area near Rockford Road and Nathan Lane.
According to Fire Chief Kip Springer, crews received the initial emergency call at about 3:45 a.m. Wednesday from residents inside the four-plex unit after a fire started inside one of the basement units.
"Residents made their way out quickly, and had worked to try to knock down the fire themselves," Springer said Wednesday while he and police looked over the scene. "They also had a garden hose out and were pouring water on the basement fire."
No one was injured, and everyone was able to get out of the burning unit safely. Springer said Plymouth crews had the fire knocked down quickly.
The scene had two other fires. A late model Audi sedan was set ablaze in the parking lot, just south of the unit. The car's paint was severely damaged, but the body itself was not severely burned.
"It almost looks like something was thrown on it," Springer said. "We'll know more as they investigate."
Another small fire was set in the yard of the unit.
The Minnesota State Fire Marshal will head up the investigation going forward, as the fire has been deemed "suspicious." That label means initial investigations show arson as the cause.
"Mainly because of the separate fires that were going at the scene," Springer said. "Everyone has their theories of what went on, but until we get the official investigation we just won't know."
West Metro Fire and Wayzata Fire were also called to the blaze, though Wayzata was canceled en route. Hennepin County sent a crime lab unit to the scene early this morning to assist with the initial investigation.

Want to combine further study with tradition, culture, scenery and socialising? Ireland could be the perfect place for you to carry on learning
There are numerous types of higher education institutions in Ireland:
The entry requirements for postgraduate study differ from university to university, course to course. However, most courses require an undergraduate degree, usually a minimum of a 2:2, in a related discipline.
Make sure you understand the requirements for the specific course that interests you before applying and contact the institution to clarify if necessary.
Citizens of the European Union (EU) are entitled to attend university in Ireland or any EU country (this means the 27 member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The same conditions apply to all EU citizens whether a national of the country or not. This means that you are not required to pay higher course fees than Irish students and you are entitled to apply for any grants available to help with tuition fees.
Average course fees in Ireland for EU students are approximately €5,000 and considerably higher for non-EU students.
Ireland also operates a free fees scheme for undergraduate study, which is available to EU nationals who meet a range of other criteria. For more information, see Citizens Information - Third-Level Student Fees and Charges .
The Irish Student Grant Scheme is split into two parts: maintenance grants; and fee grants.
Maintenance grants go towards students' general living costs and are usually means tested. They also have a number of conditions based on nationality, residence and immigration status.
Eligibility of postgraduates for this kind of funding is prone to change and you may not be eligible if you are an EU student who hasn't lived in Ireland before. To check whether you can receive a maintenance grant, visit Citizens Information - Grants for Students in Further and Higher Education or Student Finance Ireland .
Fee grants are designed to cover students' tuition fees, cost of field trips or student contribution. Eligibility of EU students is also subject to stringent requirements.
Other institutions may offer separate grants or bursaries.
Non-EU/European Economic Area (EEA) students are ineligible for Student Grant Scheme funding.
Students attending UK universities can take part in the EU's education, training and youth support programme Erasmus+ . The scheme replaces its predecessor 'Erasmus' and offers study, training, work experience and voluntary placements to millions of young people, students and adults. Opportunities last from three months to one academic year.
Financial support is available through the Erasmus+ initiative to any UK public, private or not-for-profit organisation actively involved in education and training.
Your university must have a formal agreement with a partner university in Ireland. Check that your university is involved in the programme and offers the Erasmus+ scheme in your subject.
Speak to the Erasmus+ coordinator at your university about available opportunities.
As an EU citizen, you are permitted to live in any EU country while studying as long as you:
Some countries require you to register with the local authority after three months. Find out how to register at Europa - Rights, Conditions and Formalities .
If you are a non-EU student, find out your visa requirements for studying in Ireland at Citizens Information - Student Visas to Study in Ireland .

Four years after they launched their own boutique wine by going online to create a sort of virtual winery, Sunny Fraser and David Gordon are trying to break new ground in their campaign to bring fine wine to the masses.
Their strategy? A new kind of bottle that cost $2 million to develop.
Clocking in at 187 milliliters and resembling an oversized, flat-bottomed test tube, their patented bottle — which holds a generous glass of wine — is made of a delicate, seamless glass. Lighter than the typical bottling glass, it is sealed with a specially-threaded and lined Stelvin cap.
"We wanted something with integrity that could stand up to a fine wine," Fraser explained. And, more to the point, they believed consumers would be willing to indulge more frequently in fine wine if they knew they could buy their smaller bottle, which they call The Vini, without having to uncork a more expensive, bigger bottle.
"It's not just about us and our wine. It was the format, and how great it would be if I could just get a glass and not have to wait for a special occasion to bring out these great bottles," she explained. "For us, it was about making fine wine more accessible."
So far, during their "soft launch," the couple have produced 1,000 cases containing their own wine, with enough to fill another 7,500 cases. They are selling it online, for about $35 about a 4-bottle set up to about $400 for 48 bottles, as well as in about a dozen local gourmet shops and restaurants including Joe's Stone Crab and Joanna's Marketplace in South Miami, and at the Eden Roc and several other hotels. They plan to expand into more hotels and into bottling for other wineries.
"We're not trying to fit into every market. It's not meant for a convenience store or gas station," he said. "We're trying to tap other markets that haven't been tapped before. They haven't had a solution before, and we're trying to be that solution."
While the wine industry may have a reputation for being stodgy and unadventurous, it has had its fair share of innovative bottling, from boxed wines launched in Australia in the 1960s to foil-capped plastic cups, cans, Tetra Pak cartons and even sippy pouches.
"Americans have always been known for great packaging and experimentation and there's a lot of innovation in packaging going on right now," said Gladys Horiuchi, communications manager for the San Francisco-based Wine Institute.
Take box wines. Long associated with cheaper brands, they shrugged off some of the stereotype in 2003 when Black Box introduced its line of finer wines. The boxes, which hold wine in an inner plastic bag not unlike the traditional Spanish bota bags, keep wine from oxidizing. And increasingly good boxed wines helped drinkers become what Epicurious calls more "bottle agnostic," opening up the industry to different, often more reliable and more eco-friendly packaging.
"This is the generation that grew up on ... those fruit juices in little packs," Horiuchi said. "Those people are of drinking age and they're willing to buy this packaging because they drank it as a kid. There are still people who like traditional bottles, but Americans are willing to accept something different."
Traditional 750 milliliter bottles still hold the lions share of the market, grabbing 58.5 percent of the market with sales totaling more than $650 million, according to Nielsen's tracking of supermarket sales in 2011, the last year figures were available. But last year, 187 milliliter containers outsold 1 liter bottles and snagged sales totaling more than $14 million.
Still, smaller containers have had trouble shaking off that cheap wine reputation and being tucked into hotel mini bars and airplane drink carts where space, not quality, is the premium. And there's a reason for that: smaller bottles age more quickly, said Jim Lapsley, an adjunct professor and chair of the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California Davis.
"Smaller volumes have smaller mass and respond to temperature changes more quickly," he explained in an email, and if improperly bottled, can pick up more air.
But Fraser and Gordon say their three-step bottling system solves that problem. First, they vacuum out particulates and flush out any oxygen with nitrogen gas before the bottle is filled. When the bottle is filled, nitrogen gas is simultaneously shot into the bottle to remove oxygen. A third dose of nitrogen, this time in liquid form, blows out any oxygen when the bottle is capped, they said.
"They don't do that with airplane bottles," Fraser said. "That's why they only cost a couple of bucks. And then taste like a couple of bucks."
The couple's venture into the winemaking business is what led them to bottling. For the last four years, they have been making various wines under their Sunbox Eleven Winery brand, and say they are selling to restaurants in Miami and Las Vegas including Casa Tua and Prime 112. They currently use the Sonoma cooperative Carneros Vintners from which they pick their grapes. But while they found success selling bottles, Fraser said they had trouble convincing restaurants to sell their wine by the glass.
"It was easy for a sommelier to suggest a bottle, but by the glass was a whole different story," Fraser said. So one day while she was sampling wine, sipping from the test tubes typically used, "I had an epiphany thinking, how great would it be if there was a larger size that would make fine wines accessible."
Little did she realize how much trouble went into developing that little test tube.
"When you're inventing something that's never existed before, you take several steps forward, and then a ginormous step back," Gordon said. "All along, it was forward and back, forward and back."
They spent 18 months just fabricating the glass. Fraser specifically wanted the lighter weight, seamless glass because she felt it was more elegant. They partnered with an existing bottler in California, but because their bottling glass forms at a higher temperature, they needed to create their own line at the factory. They also needed intricate tooling to deal with the precise threading on the bottle.
Also, they insisted on using Stelvin, the French-designed metal cap developed in the 1960s to address cork taint and considered the pioneer in screw-cap bottling.
"Packaging is so important. The look and the feel," Fraser said. "We call it the puppy because every time people touch it, they want to hold it. They don't want to let it go."
The couple also believed other wineries would be eager to use their bottle.
"We know that most wineries out there don't have their own bottling line. It's too expensive. So they outsource it," Gordon said. "We looked at every way we could find for us to control a particular point along the chain, whether it's supply line dynamics, to production to sales and distribution."
Because they want the bottle to come to stand for fine wines, the couple don't plan on allowing just any winery to use it. The wines "have to be vetted through our winemaking system, for quality, for price point and for integrity," Fraser said. "It's about quality control and going back to the format so when people try it, they know it's high-quality wine."
The first case stocked at Joanna's Marketplace, priced at about $10 a bottle, sold out before it even arrived, said owner Mike Lederman. "They definitely had a fan base already," Lederman said.
Still, some customers are confused about wine in such an untraditional bottle.
"They're like, 'What is this?' They don't even know it's wine at first," he said. But gradually, customers are getting to prefer its convenience.
"The bottom line is the wine's got to be good and, with anything that comes in a cool package, if it's not good, people won't buy it again," he said. "It's going to have its little niches and areas, especially in these funky hotels in Miami Beach. It's very Miami."

I was watching NFL Total Access last night and as I watched Andrew Siciliano transition to a Jets story I saw that stupid little smirk come across his face and just it just made me think about how badly not only every other employee at NFL Network and ESPN treat the Jets but how our own beat writer Cimini seems to be the love child of a special night between Brady and Belichick. However when Dukes was brought into the conversation and asked about the Jets, Jamie Dukes showed respect to Rex and the team and I really enjoyed listening to his take on the draft, our defense, and Rex as a coach. I was surprised really so I took to twitter and let him know. Just thought I'd share.

Hey guys, just wanted some answers to a question I've had for a while now, concerning the whole idea of "muscle confusion."
Basically some trainers say that your muscles and body as a whole will get used to any given exercise after you've been doing it for long enough, and at that point will no longer benefit from that exercise. The solution, they say, is to be constantly switching up your workouts in order to "confuse" your muscles, i.e. insuring that they never have the time to get accustomed to the lifts.
I'm not quite sure what to think personally; the idea sounds somewhat plausible, but I've also heard from many people that the whole thing is a myth.
The reason I'm asking is because I've noticed that the gains I've been making over the past couple months have been much less than what I had seen in the months before, and it's been quite a while since I've switched up my workout at all - a situation that the "muscle confusion" proponents would point to as a prime example of their theory at work.
So no more baloney, what's the deal with "muscle confusion?"
Last edited by parkker007; 04-18-2009 at 09:30 PM.
While there is truth to the muscle confusion idea, I believe the whole thing is greatly exaggerated. The changes can be small. Such as more weight added, different workout order, different grip, different rep scheme, etc., etc.
You also don't necessarily need to change it every 4 weeks like some will say. Run a program for as long as you achieve gains on your main lifts, not some arbitrary number. I never run a program for less than 3 months.
The more advanced you are in your training, the more complicated all this becomes. This is when muscle confusion is more of a challenge and your programming should reflect this.
It is currently a fad, at this writing, for boys to think they need a "six pack", although most of them don't have an ice chest to put it in.
-Mark Rippetoe
Eventually you will plateau, but a complete makeover is not necessary. Either change your diet so you feed your muscles more, or change the set/rep/weight scheme slightly.
The rest is in the quote. ^

"Same, but different" is a pretty good strategy for most and following it generally keeps people from throwing out the baby with the bath water.
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

A silly concept that may in some sense work, but it would be infinitely more valuable to simply understand why progression eventually stalls, and what you can do about it. I suggest reading Practical Programming by Coach Rip.
There is no such thing as muscle confusion. Muscles adapt over time to a certain stress that is placed upon them. In order to keep progressing, a different stress must be applied. The easiest way to do so is to add weight. One can also add exercises, sets, reps, or even a different cadence.
Constantly switching up one's workouts is generally not a good idea, as it is difficult to measure progression, if one does not keep the same exercises within the program. A far better method is to find a routine that works and stick with it until gains slow or stall, and then and only then find another one.
Muscle confusion is not a myth. It has to do with Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome. The body will eventually adapt to an exercise. When it does your progress will stop.
Jason/dumbbell provided you with some good information. "The changes can be small. Such as more weight added, different workout order, different grip, different rep scheme, etc.,"
How often you need to change your program has to do with your training age. Training age is how long you have been training.
Thus, a novice can run a program much longer than someone who has been training for a while. Most novices need to change their program up about every 6 weeks. I change mine up ever three weeks.
However, Jason/dumbbell makes a great point, "Run a program for as long as you achieve gains on your main lifts, not some arbitrary number."
Once you stop making progress it's definitely time to change thing up.
Kenny Croxdale
Why wouldn't you want to change exercises periodically. It keeps things fresh and provides a balance that is needed for a fuller more well rounded physique.
Check out my Journal!
I can see why you set the goals you did. Rock on dude.
i am a trainer and rarely give the same workout twice in a row, unless they are going for pure strength gains on a specific exercise. if you can vary it up and keep it interesting with new exercises, why not?
All great posts on this subject. I think that if you're making gains, why (unless sheer boredom) would you want to change it up? The point that many trainers (Ballys, etc.) take it to, by changing every workout, is way too far. Changing it up here and there prevents boredom and challenges the muscles differently.

"Muscle confusion" is a great way for trainers to convince you to keep paying for "new" workouts every week/month. It's also a great marketing device b/c teaching people how to properly and effectively train over time is not NEARLY as sexy as selling them "the secrets to muscle confusion!"
And I respectfully disagree with Kenny b/c the way the phrase "muscle confusion" is used today, is NOT simply as an intelligent application of the General Adaptation Principle. It's a hyperbolic, erratic, "black box" application of the GAP at best. And "muscle confusion" is generally radically misapplied to the target audience: beginners. As already stated, the body adapts, but a smart training program doesn't chase "new" just for the sake of "new." It chases new when new is necessary, and it does so in modest amounts, applied intelligently to stimulate targeted growth toward specific goals.
Just because you splash paint on the ceiling doesn't make you Michaelangelo.

Marvellous, entrancing duets with Ed Blackwell. Very strongly recommended.
Black Ark backing singers Aurelia Msimang (via Cedric's United Africa), Candy MacKenzie and Pamela Reed, swirled into the signature 1978 Perry sound. Stand-out is the Nina Simone revision Young Gifted And Broke.
Dick Cuthell's glorious dub version of Spear's great Marcus Garvey set. The Black Disciples in full effect: Horsemouth, Bobby Ellis, Vin Gordon, Dirty Harry, Touter, Chinna, Family Man, Robbie Shakespeare and co.
The potent, weird 1974 set, on 180g vinyl. With a blaxploitation version of Rockfort Rock, covers of Phyllis Dillon and Maxine Brown, Hugh Masekela's Riot, his own Melody Maker. Darkly brilliant as ever.

PERRY, Okla. —
Perkins-Tryon coach Norman Tippeconnie said his team can be streaky. Friday night in the Class 3A District 4 basketball championship, it was a good streak as the Demons hit four 3-pointers in the second quarter of a 58-43 victory over the host Perry Maroons.
"The kids played really hard," Tippeconnie said. "We had a game plan going in and followed it pretty good."
The first quarter and a half was back and forth as Perry held a 10-8 lead after one. The Demons were up by one, when they started their barrage of 3-pointers. Cody Waitt increased P-T's lead to four. Caleb White and Carlton Belford followed with 3s to give the Demons a 25-15 lead. Perry coach Brandon Hight said that made the difference.
"We get outscored 22-8 in the second quarter," Hight said. "... Those guys are good shooters. They were wide open and we didn't do a good job of contesting. We got a little lazy and lackadaisical."
The Maroons (12-11) rallied in the third quarter and early in the fourth. Perry's Shaheem Turner was a force inside, scoring seven points in the third. The Maroons outscored Perkins-Tryon 11-8 to trail 38-30 after three.
"We fought hard in the third quarter and got back in the game. Cut it to six," Hight said. "We kind of were scrambling around, pressing and trapping, which we normally don't do. They got some easy ones at the end."
P-T senior Caleb White scored a game-high 15 points. Waitt followed with 10 points. Kale Hixon led the Maroons with 13 points. Shaheem Turner contributed 11, with 10 in the second half.
Tippeconnie said his team was focused on defending both players.
"We are going to come defend you," Tippeconnie said. "We are going to make it where you have to earn your points."
The Demons (15-8) advance to the winner's bracket and play at home at 8 p.m. Thursday. The Maroons start play in the consolation at 3 p.m. in Perkins Both coaches said it will be a challenge.
"My goal is to go in and win two games and get to Saturday," Hight said. "I got one senior and two juniors, the rest are sophomores. Maybe getting this first playoff game out of the way will loosen them up a little bit."
"The really good thing is we are at home," Tippeconnie said. "... We've played some top teams this year and we are going to have to come out and play."
P-T girls 44, Perry 18
The Lady Demons had no problem keeping their undefeated record alive as they routed the Lady Maroons 44-18 in the Class 3A District 4 basketball championship.
"We were concerned about their 3-point shooting," P-T coach Jerry Burnett said. "Overall we did a good job defensively to shut them down early."
The Lady Maroons didn't score until they hit a free throw with 4:34 left in the first, and didn't make a field goal until the last minute of the quarter. Perkins-Tryon's trap made it difficult for Perry to get shots.
"We didn't match their physicality and aggressiveness at the beginning of the game and dug ourselves a hole," Perry coach Ron Dwyer said.
After scoring a quick basket in the second, Perry didn't score again until the last minute of the half. Perkins-Tryon led 30-8. The Lady Demons' star players, McKenzie Stanford and Jordan Gorham, got in foul trouble but it didn't slow Perkins as Bailey Wensler scored 5 points and Jeri Adkism scored 5. Stanford scored 9 and Gorham scored 8.
"It's not just a one-man show," Burnett said. "We got into some foul trouble early and were able to have some girls come in and keep it clicking."
Stanford led all scorers with 15 points and Gorham followed with 10. Meagan Jones led Perry in scoring with 6 points after hitting two 3-pointers in the third quarter.
The Lady Demons (24-0) advance to the winner's bracket and will play at home Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Lady Maroons start play in consolation at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Perkins. Burnett said his team will be prepared. Dwyer said his team will take it one game at a time.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian president returned triumphantly to the West Bank on Sunday, receiving a boisterous welcome from thousands of cheering supporters at a rally celebrating his people's new acceptance to the United Nations.
An Israeli decision to cut off a cash transfer to the financially troubled Palestinian Authority, following an earlier decision to build thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements, failed to put a damper on the celebrations.
But Palestinian officials acknowledged they were undecided on what to do with their newfound status and were waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.
Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas in the Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leader's return from New York. Large posters of the Palestinian leader adorned nearby buildings.
"We now have a state," Abbas said to wild applause. "The world has said loudly, 'Yes to the state of Palestine."'
The United Nations General Assembly last week overwhelmingly endorsed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war.
The move to upgrade the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state does not change much on the ground, but it carries deep potential significance.

Tart with Enkidu pinot noir
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:23 a.m.
Our Wine of the Week, Enkidu 2010 Russian River Valley Tina Marie Pinot Noir ($45), is a lovely wine for this time of year. With 14.4 percent alcohol, the wine is rich and plush on the palate, with a suggestion of warmth that is welcome during these chilly days.
Flavors swirl like a plume of smoke ascending skyward, carrying black cherry, black raspberry, allspice berry, clove and anise along for the ride, with hints of stone and something resembling dried sage mingling with the other flavors.
The finish reverberates gently until the next sip and the wine's elegant acidity refreshes the palate.
The wine is an ideal match with the comfort foods we crave right now. Toss some crumbled bacon into homemade macaroni-and-cheese and you'll have a feast. Braised short ribs, braised lamb shanks, osso buco, papardelle Bolognese, cotechino with lentils, traditional cassoulet and prime rib with parsnip puree are all flattered by this handsome pinot noir. Coq au vin, a wonderful mid-winter dish, is another great match, as is almost anything with mushrooms — polenta with mushroom ragout, for example, or seared duck breast smothered with sauteed maitakes.
The wine can kick off an evening meal beautifully, and if you'd like to serve it at as an aperitif, pair it with this simple red onion tart. The bacon makes the match soar.
Red Onion and Bacon Tart with Creme Fraiche and Chives
Makes 1 large tart
— Pastry for Savory Tarts (recipe follows)
4 to 6 bacon slices
1 tablespoon butter
3 to 4 medium red onions, very thinly sliced
— Kosher salt
— Black pepper in a mill
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, if available
— Course salt, such as fleur de sel, sel gris or Maldon salt flakes
½ cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon fresh snipped chives (use chopped Italian parsley if chives are not available)
Make the pastry, if you have not already done so.
Fry the bacon in a large skillet set over high heat until it is crisp. Transfer the bacon to absorbent paper to drain and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
Return the pan to medium low heat, add the butter and when it is melted, add the onions. Season with salt and saute, turning frequently, until they are very limp and sweet, about 35 to 45 minutes. Do not let the onions brown.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
When the onions are fully cooked, taste them, correct for salt, season generously with black pepper and fold in the thyme leaves. Let cool for a few minutes.
Crumble or chop the bacon.
Remove the pastry from the refrigerator.
Spread the onions evenly over the surface of the pastry dough, leaving a 2-inch margin, and spread the crumbled bacon over the onions.
Fold the edge of the dough up and over the onions, pleating the dough as you fold it. Sprinkle the pleated crust lightly with course salt.
Set the tart on the middle rack of the oven and bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to a rack to cool.
While the tart cools, put the creme fraiche into a small bowl, add the chives, season with salt and pepper and stir very well.
Cut the tart into wedges, set each wedge on a plate, top with a dollop of creme fraiche and serve immediately.
Pastry For Savory Tarts
Makes 2 large tarts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, cut in small pieces and chilled
½ cup ice water
Put the flour and salt into a medium bowl and stir quickly with a fork. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, quickly work the butter into the flour until the mixture is the consistency of cornmeal. Add the ice water and gently press the dough with your hands until it just comes together; do not overmix it. Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, pull up the sides of the wrap to form the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
To finish the dough, cut it in half and reserve one half for another use.
Place the dough on a flour surface and pat it with the palm of your hand to flatten it. Use a floured rolling pin to roll it into a 14-inch circle. Carefully transfer the circle to the parchment paper, cover lightly and refrigerate until ready to use.

After a meeting at the school and addressing the East Penn School Board twice, several parents of children who attend Willow Lane Elementary School addressed Lower Macungie Township's Public Safety Commission.
And an ad hoc member of the commission flat out said the Willow and Sauerkraut lanes intersection is unsafe for children to be walking.
Susan Coenen, a parent and resident of Brookside Farms, asked the commissioners at the Tuesday meeting what they planned to do for the children who are supposed to begin walking to school in the fall.
The East Penn School District, claiming Willow Lane was designed as a "walking school," had been busing all students since the school opened in fall 2010. But in an effort to save $65,000 in the 2013 budget, the district has said that students who live within a 1.5-mile radius will no longer be bused as of August 2013.
Commissioner Scott Forbes told Coenen that the township has committed $85,000 of the 2013 budget to signage and blinking "school zone" lights that are supposed to be installed before the end of the summer.
Lower Macungie Township Commissioner Roger Reis -- a liaison to the Public Safety Commission with Commissioner Doug Brown -- said the township is working with the school district to reduce the speed of cars on Willow and Sauerkraut lanes.
He assured Coenen that there would also be public meetings at which parents could offer suggestions.
"We can't think of everything. We like to hear from parents. No final decisions have been made yet. Everything is being reexamined, re-studied and reconsidered," Reis said.
Coenen replied that she finds it "disconcerting" that neither the township nor the school district has "taken ownership" of the issue in an attempt to solve it.
Parent Lee LaRussa, a physician, said studies have shown that people will not walk the mile and a half the school district claims is appropriate.
"They don't walk that far. The Walkability Study considers only the buses and the walkers. But there will be hundreds of cars coming to the school each morning," he said, noting there was no provision in the study that addresses how that kind of traffic volume will be handled.
Peter Pavlovic, who was an ad hoc member of the commission at the beginning of the meeting and had been voted in as a sitting Public Safety Commissioner by the end, said he has spent time sitting and watching the intersection and the habits of the people who drive it.
"I can honestly say it's unsafe for East Penn to make Willow Lane a walking school," Pavlovic said.
"Willow Lane is a state highway and people drive it as one….the traffic is horrendous."
The commission put together a bulleted list of concerns about students walking to Willow Lane Elementary that Reis and Brown will present when the township commissioners meet Thursday.
Issues include
- Increased traffic
- Identification of walking paths and how the paths will be maintained – especially in snow – and how it will be enforced.
- Modifications to crosswalks
- Enforcement assistance from State Police at Fogelsville
- The staging of pick-up and drop-off periods

Staff Writer
---- — Almost 115 years after the city built the Maplewood Avenue school, and over 25 years after its last school bell tolled, the city has sold the boarded-up building encompassed by chain-link fence to a Gloucester-based group that plans to invigorate it with new life and purpose.
In a $120,000 deal, the nonprofit Gloucester Development Team, best known locally for its work in transforming the Central Grammar Apartments in the 1970s, bought the Maplewood School with plans to perform the same kind of transformation.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk met with Kirk Noyes and Marc Sandler of the Gloucester Development Team to sign the purchase and sales agreement outside the brick building Wednesday.
"Waiting for the right development has absolutely been worth it and we are thrilled to get this building off our hands," Kirk said. "The quality of work by the Gloucester Development Team is unmatched."
Though the team placed a bid on the city's fifth request for proposals for the building last summer, it was unable to purchase the building until now, having signed the sale papers Wednesday afternoon.
"I was busy doing other projects, and we just couldn't get the numbers to work out, until now," Noyes said.
Now that the numbers do match up, Noyes and Sandler plan to spend about $3 million creating 12 condominium units of housing for veterans and "empty nesters," defined more objectively as people older than 53 whose children have left home. The team will redesign four classrooms and hallway space on each floor into one-bedroom apartments. The attic apartments will feature recessed balconies.
The group plans to construct a community room and a laundry area in the basement and create 23 parking spots on the paved area outside the building that once acted as a playground. Still, the group will maintain those school building bones and facade.
"It's going to look like a school building. That'll be the plan," Noyes said.
One unit in the building will be set aside as an affordable housing unit, and the nonprofit group will contribute $55,000 to the Gloucester Affordable Housing Trust in lieu of providing a second affordable unit as required by the city's zoning ordinance.
"Our focus is probably a little different than if we were a contractor looking to rehab the building and flip it," said Sandler, the Gloucester Development Team's president.
The deed restrictions that require at least one resident in each unit to be either older than 53 or have been honorably discharged from the military will lapse and terminate after four years.
The Gloucester Development Team plans to begin construction after the start of the new year and once they complete the permitting process.

"You are either very brave or very foolish. Perhaps both. But I can tell you of Baba Yaga, Mother of All Witches. Her home stands on chicken legs, so that she can travel while sitting inside.

SAN DIEGO—Tiger Woods shot a 7-over 79 at the Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday to match his worst score on American soil.
Woods went seven straight holes making bogey or worse at Torrey Pines and, for the first time in his career, he missed a 54-hole cut that is in effect when more than 78 players make it to the weekend.
Tiger Woods chipped to the second green at Torrey Pines where he bogeyed during the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament Saturday in San Diego. Associated Press
Woods had to rally just to break 80.
After another poor chip on the par-3 eighth hole (his 17th of the third round), he chipped in to save par. On the par-5 ninth hole, he flubbed another chip to about 8 feet and made that for par and a 79.
Asked to stop for a comment at least with CBS Sports, Woods said, "No, I'm done." He signed a dozen autographs, climbed into a van and was driven away.
Perhaps the most remarkable figure of this week: He didn't make a single birdie on a par 5 over three rounds. In fact, he played them in 4-over par.
Still, what made the round so shocking is where it happened.
Woods was the defending champion and an eight-time winner at Torrey Pines as a pro, which includes his last major in the 2008 U.S. Open. He won a junior world championship on this public course along the ocean as a teenager. Woods had only finished out of the top 10 one time at Torrey on the U.S. PGA Tour, and that was in 2011 when his game was going through a major overhaul.
"It was definitely different seeing him make so many bogeys," said Jhonattan Vegas, who played alongside Woods on a gorgeous day of very little wind. "He's human. You don't expect to see that, but it's the game. It happens to everyone."
The highest score of his career was an 81 in the third round of the British Open at Muirfield. Woods also had a 79 in the Memorial last year, at the Quail Hollow Championship in 2010 and in the first round of the 1996 Australian Open.
As stunning as it was to see, there was little cause for alarm.
This makes the second straight year that Woods was eliminated early in his season-opening tournament. He missed the cut in Abu Dhabi a year ago after being assessed a two-shot penalty for taking relief from a sandy area. Woods went on to win five times last year and was voted U.S. PGA Tour player of the year for the 11th time.
He spoke earlier in the week about not being only a fraction off, which was plausible given the conditions at Torrey, especially on the South Course. For as dry as it has been this week, the rough is thicker and more lush than usual, especially right off the edge of the fairway. On the opening hole, Woods narrowly missed the fairway and could advance the ball only about 80 yards.
But he went south quickly on the fabled South Course.
Woods was in fairway, 254 yards from the flag on the par-5 18th in the middle of his round. A birdie would have put him within five shots of the leaders, who had just started the third round on the front.
His shot came up short and into the water, and his fourth shot flew the green into a plugged lie in the bunker. Woods blasted out and took two putts for bogey. On the first hole, he missed the green and chipped to 30 feet and three-putted for another double bogey, missing his bogey putt from just over 2 feet. It was the first time since the second round of the 2011 U.S. PGA Championship that he made consecutive double bogeys.
And then it was just one blunder after another—a three-putt on the par-3 third, a tee shot into the bunker on the fourth. From a front bunker on the par-5 sixth, he flew the green, chipped weakly to 6 feet and missed that par putt.
So when he ended that ugly streak with a birdie on the seventh, he removed his cap and waved to the crowd.
In the midst of this meltdown, Woods still found some perspective. Walking up the hill to the ninth tee, he spotted CBS Sports reporter Peter Kostis, working his first tournament since his bout with prostate cancer. Woods and Kostis have had their disagreements over the years, but the world's No. 1 player called out to him three times. Kostis walked over and Woods whispered into his ear that it was good to see him back at work.
Woods goes to the Dubai Desert Classic next week.
