Shane Briant
Actor and author Shane Briant kindly answers Hammer fan questions about his work
How did you become an actor?
I studied law at Trinity College Dublin but always wanted to act. So I joined the University Theatre Company and was soon a member of Irish Equity.
I played Hamlet at the Eblana Theatre and many other productions theatrically and on Irish television until I was in a play calledChildren of the Wolf that transferred from the Irish Theatre Festival to London's West End (The Apollo in Shaftesbury Avenue). A three hander with the late Yvonne Mitchell (a British Film Oscar winner) and Sheelagh Cullen, that showcased my work. After that I was put under contract at Elstree Studios by Michael Carreras to do four pictures. From then on it's blur.
Hammerweb: What was your first memorable role and what do you remember about it?
Playing Dorian Gray in a two part Movie of the Week special for America's ABC network. Glenn Jordan (four times an Emmy award winner) directed, and Dan Curtis produced. It was my first visit to Hollywood and I was only 22, playing the lead in a huge TV event. Very exciting. I should have stayed in Hollywood but I returned to do BBC plays. A mistake, looking back.
Steven M. Cowan asks "Achieving actor status is no easy task, what inspiration (or who) kept you heading towards this goal?"
In the early days I went from job to job and it wasn't so hard to get good work. there was a lot of it around and I was very lucky. As I get older there's not quite so much because I am not a young man any more. But now I can't face doing a hard days work! So I started writing in 1994 and all my four thrillers are available in Australia through Harper Collins.
This brings in the cash when I'm not acting. The last two books, Hitkids and Bite of the Lotus have been optioned as films and I keep my fingers crossed that they may go into production very soon.
Mel asks "We enjoy your work and wonder if there is a particular approach you take when portraying a character?"
I always try to make every character unique and exactly what the audience do not expect. Everyone can play a bad guy - few can play a 'memorable' bad guy. Sometimes I make the bad guy have one flaw - maybe he loves children but kills adults. Maybe he loves birds and kills everything else. In Till There Was You, Rex was a savage kind of guy but loved playing around with this little black kid. Eventually it kills him. That was my idea and they kept the new ending in the film.
Alejandro Martínez Turégano asks "Which was the role you always wanted to play, and the one you played and hated more?"
I've always wanted to play Raskolnikov out of Crime and Punishment but was never asked. Don't think they ever made the film. Now of course I'm too old! I would love to have a crack at 'Lear'.
I think I liked least playing Pierre in The Flame is Love (a US telemovie). Very silly dialogue. Made Linda Purl and I laugh, but ultimately it made us both look a bit dumb. Even Tim Dalton looked foolish. But it was work and the money was okay.
Hammerweb: Who do you think is the person who has influenced you much in your way of interpreting a role?
Paul Newman. I worked with him in The Mackintosh Man. A genuinely good bloke. Worked with all the actors as equals. Never the star.
Showed me how to work a camera -- by that I mean look after myself and look good. Also showed me a few great tricks. Best was how to do the Cool Hand Luke smile. That's easy - but a secret.
Hammerweb: If you have one piece of advice for aspiring actors, what is it?
Give things a go for as long as you can. But be practical. If everyone says you stink as an actor, do something else.
Steven M. Cowan asks "You worked with Peter Cushing in Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, and some other fine actors, what are your fondest memories of these times?
Working constantly for three years at Elstree and Pinewood with fine actors and learning every day from great people. Having my own parking spot with my name on it. Being rich for that time. Lots of pretty girls around at the studio always. Having Peter Cushing as a friend - a lovely guy.
Rosa and Bruce ask "I got to know Ralph Bates quite well in the 1980s. He and I nearly did a film together called Grave's End, which I wrote. I know that you and he were friends. What memories can you share of Ralph?"
He was the nicest person I have ever met (barring my partner Wendy) He was such a gloriously happy man. And a real and true friend who would do anything for you. Everyone loved Ralphie and I still miss him - every week I think of him and see his smiling face at the Christmas parties he and Virginia Wetherell, his wife, and their kids, would have in Chiswick. Invited were his friends, and anyone he knew would otherwise be lonely. I wish I were half the man he was.
Hammerweb: You've said in a recent interview that your favourite Hammer role was Simon Helder in Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, because you got to work with Peter Cushing. What are your memories of him?
A dedicated actor. Loved his wife so dearly that when she died I think he felt he couldn't carry on. Very hard worker. Very generous actor. Very private person.
Alejandro Martínez Turégano asks "During the filming of Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, how was your relation with Terence Fisher in his last film for Hammer? Did he seem to be tired of working or feel disappointed about the way things were going?"
No, he wasn't tired. Even at his age he loved working and was as fresh with his ideas as ever.
Mel asks "The ending for Monster from Hell certainly left room for yet another instalment. Now that Hammer is up and running again, has there been any mention of you inheriting the formidable mantle of Peter Cushing's Dr. Frankenstein and continuing his...work.?
I'd do it in a flash. Find the funding, I'll be there. It's the right time. People are ready for these escapist films again. I wish some money people would come to the table.
Hammerweb: What do you recall of Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter?
Not a great deal, actually. Nice people. I remember Caroline Munro was a particularly splendid looking girl in her tight costume. Wasn't a great movie but fun.
Do you think such a character could work on film today, given the success of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or would it be considered copycat?
Yes, I think it could make a great TV series.
Alejandro Martínez Turégano asks "Who contacted you for acting in The Makintosh Man? How was the experience of being conducted by John Huston?
How were your feelings interpreting Dorian in The Portrait of Dorian Gray?
Working with Huston was magic. Actually, he only talked in person to Newman and Mason and Sanda. Everyone else got messages relaid through the Ist Assistant Director.
One day I was doing a scene with Newman and he comes up behind me, slaps my head down at the desk, and pulls my head round. When he filmed it, he hit me so hard I split my lip wide open and Newman was suddenly faced with a wash of blood. He dried. Then he shouted out to Huston: "Shane's got blood all over his face."
There was a pause, then we heard Huston shout from his position 50 feet away where he was puffing on a stogie, "Tell the boy to keep it there. We'll go again."
Huston was very complimentary about what I did when I left. As for Dorian, that was an easy role. I loved the book and the interpretation was always very clear. Working with Nigel Davenport and Finnoula Flanagan was great.
Hammerweb: When did you realise that you wanted to write?
I always wanted to write but never got down to it. Then I eventually thought - why not give it a go. So while I was trotting round Europe doing the series Mission Top Secret
I researched a book and wrote it as I went along.
Hammerweb: Who is your favourite author?
Martin Cruz Smith and John le Carre. And all the Russian greats -- they are the tops.
Hammerweb: What's your advice for anyone wanting to write themselves?
Begin writing. When you pass 50 pages you'll keep at it. If you stop before then and get depressed - forget it!

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- Lauren Davis, a 17-year-old Gates Mills native, continued her hot streak on Friday, upsetting the world's top-ranked junior to reach the semifinals of the Dunlop Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships, the most prestigious international event held in the United States after the U.S. Open.
Davis, a two-time USTA Girls' 16 National Champion, upset world No. 1 and reigning U.S. Open girls' champion Daria Gavrilova of Russia, 6-2, 6-0, to run her ITF World Junior Circuit winning streak to 16 consecutive matches. Davis previously won titles at the Yucatan Cup in Mexico and the Eddie Herr International Tennis Championships in Bradenton, Fla., last month.
The match marked the third time this year Davis has met Gavrilova, and each time the score has been lopsided. Davis defeated Gavrilova on clay at the Italian Open in June 6-3, 6-1, but Gavrilova beat Davis in the first round of the U.S. Open by the same score.
"At the U.S. Open, I was in a slump, and once she got on top of me I was just kind of dead," Davis said. "But here my confidence is high and I'm playing well, so I felt good.
"I knew it was important to get off to a good start, because when I've played her previously, if I get up on her, she sort of starts to miss and give a lot of free points, and that's what I did today."
In Saturday's semifinal, Davis will face No. 3 seed Monica Puig, who resides in Miami but plays for Puerto Rico. Davis has never lost to Puig in three career matchups, including two this year that each went the full three sets.

Music To Get The Party Started
Loving these music threads, let's keep them coming!
So many god-i-haven't heard-that-in-years-must-download-but-in-a-legal-and-responsible-manner tunes
Depending on the party:
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Party Out Of Bounds - B-52s
The Crown - Gary Byrd
Anything Whatsoever! - Clash
Everybody Dance - Chic
To get them up dancing.
Theme from Shaft-gets their attention
You Can't Sit Down-gives them the rules
Do You Want to Dance-the asking song
Dance with Me- ditto
Land of a Thousand Dances once they are moving
Do you Love Me
Willie and the Hand Jive
Ride Your Pony
The Twist
Cool Jerk
Peggy Sue
At the Hop
Baby Work Out
Later when you switch to the slow grinders start with this for reminders.
Save the Last Dance for Me
Edit to add-I once had The Gentrys-Keep on Dancing with it's false ending recorded over and over for about 20 mins followede by 20 mins of Do You Love Me- The Contours and that false ending.
Last edited by wineturtle on Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:40 pm, edited 1 time in total.
You surprise me mac!! Do you play anything just before competition to get the juices, er, flowing?
"My Sharona"...just kidding..."Gimme Some Lovin" by the Spencer Davis Group
or Chic's "Love Rollercoaster" or "Forget About You" by the Motors or "Tell 'Em I'm Surfin" by the Fantastic Baggies" or "Miserlou" by Dick Dale or...
Full Moon by Armand Van Helden w/Common. Quite possibly the best party song of the past 10 years no one has heard of.
ooooh - good question - I used to put on those big earmuff headphones and play 'Whole Lotta Love" with that awesome middle interlude (made you feel like you were losing your mind as the music went left to right and then top to bottom!!) - THAT pumped me up before a track meet!
Every May, before our big half Marathon here in Indy, the first thing I do the morning of the race is play " At The Hop" by Danny and the Juniors, full blast.
I'd probably start with "Love Shack" by the B-52s and then fire up "White Light White Heat" from Lou Reed's "Rock N Roll Animal".

Dame Mary to leave her royal role
10:00am Thursday 12th December 2013 in News
SHE has welcomed royals, attended countless engagements and must have shaken more hands than anyone else in Hampshire.
But after 20 years of tireless service, Hampshire's Lord-Lieutenant, Dame Mary Fagan, is set to retire.
For two decades Dame Mary has so often been the first person to greet high-profile dignitaries visiting the county.
The Queen, Prince Charles and Princess Anne are among the royals she has given a warm welcome to over the years.
She will retire on her 75th birthday in September next year.
As the Queen's representative in Hampshire since 1994, and as patron or president to more than 60 organisations, Dame Mary is a familiar sight at engagements.
Winchester and Chandler's Ford MP Steve Brine was most recently with Dame Mary at the laying of the wreaths on Remembrance Sunday.
He said: "Hers will be one extraordinary pair of shoes to fill.
"I've been very fortunate to know her over many years and aside from her exhausting work rate, which would stretch those many years her junior, she has that priceless ability to connect with everyone she meets and put them at complete ease.
She'll be a big loss for Hampshire."
As High Sheriff of Hampshire, Rupert Younger is a man well placed to comment on performing duties in the county.
He said: "I have worked closely with her and am in awe of her energy, enthusiasm, commitment to the county, and her incredible ability to get things done."
Dame Mary's duties include organising royal visits to Hampshire and she often attends engagements with her husband, Captain Christopher Fagan.
A spokesman at her office confirmed that she is to step down, but did not wish to comment further.
Her successor has not been chosen yet, but the Government's Cabinet Office will begin consulting people in Hampshire to find a replacement.
The post of Lord-Lieutenant was created by Henry VIII in the 1540s.
They were to be his officers in their respective counties, raising local militia units on behalf of the king.
Dame Mary is also Chancellor of the University of Winchester and sources there say that she will step down from that role in 2015.
Sophie Farmer, 21, from Badger Farm, is president of the Student Union at Winchester.
She said: "I met her at my graduation and she was a wonderful lady.
"I was on a music scholarship and she commented on how nice it was that I was contributing music to the university."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Looks great!
Perfect Promise Step Enclosure Cards This card, as with the other pieces of the Perfect Promise invite, worked really well with our colors! I love how this card looks in the invite - the white top contrasts nicely from the other colors and makes the card stand out. The print is very clear and easy to read. I actually messed up when I ordered this card (forgot to say where the reception will be, oops!) but the Magnet Street person who emailed me the proofs was awesome and added the line about our reception exactly where I wanted it to go. The design is great, but I can't say enough about the customer service you'll receive from Magnet Street. This is the second big order I've done through them and I've worked with someone excellent each time.
Beautiful for the cost
Perfect Promise Rectangle Invitations I ordered teh Perfect Promise invitiations and rsvp cards. They were a great price and good quality. We were able to add a graphic on the back of the invite free of charge so we added hockey sticks since our wedding is hockey themed. It turned out great, we couldn't be happier.
Never a let down :)
Perfect Promise Tea-length Invitations Everything was perfect! The quality, packaging, and the delivery time was all on point!
Perfect size
Perfect Promise Save the Date Magnets We ordered the large magnet size 3.5x5.5 and they were perfect. The colors were easy to match and the picture we added came out perfect.
Love these!
Perfect Promise Step RSVP Postcards Invitations ended up turning out great! I can't wait to send them out!

Now, I know what you are thinking: you are using an incorrect password/csi number. This is not the case. I put everything into a plain text file so I could copy and paste it to eliminate this problem. I believe that my CSI number is not associated with my account. How can I call someone or get someone to call me to verify that my account is associated correctly. This is incredibly frustrating and would not be the first time that this has happened to someone in our organization.

Johanna Drucker in conversation with Charles Bernstein. The program starts with Bernstein's provocative question, "are you a poet, an artist, a fiction writer, a scholar, a designer or an aesthetician — or aren't you the kind that tells?" and an exploration of Drucker's initial answer, "I'm a writer who makes books." They also explore the role of fantasy throughout Drucker's work, and discuss the integral role of design to her poetics as well as the ways that her critical study of materiality shapes her work. Much of the second half of the show is concerned with A to Z, a groundbreaking work in the development of Drucker's writerly sensibilities, including an explanation of its compositional methods, and this segues into considerations of digital design.
Johanna Drucker is a book artist, poet, and scholar whose work focuses on the history of the book, print culture, and design. She is the author of A Century of Artists Books, Theorizing Modernism, Sweet Dreams: Contemporary Art and Complicity, and most recently, Spec Labs. Drucker is Martin and Bernard Breslauer Professor of Information Studies at UCLA. Explore more of Johanna Drucker's work at PennSound.

4 cups
rolled oats
1 (15 ounce) can
cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 cup
chopped pitted dates
1/2 cup
flaked coconut
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
These cookies were great (even the uncooked dough). I did make a couple of changes. I pureed the beans with 1 cup of apple sauce and 1/2 cup of prunes - couldn't find dates. And I also added dried cranberries and cherries into the batter at the end. The cookies were so moist and healthy and delicious, I am definately making them again.
I added 1 cup rice milk and 1 egg, mixed it all well with my hands, spread it out in a large glass baking pan, baked for 25 minutes, and am now enjoying a piece. I love that these are high fiber, and they taste good, but it's true that it needs liquid/binder. Once you add liquid, you can make it as cookies or spread it out and cut it into "bars."

can't believe this recipe got almost five stars!! Sara Sue must have left out the liquid ingredients!!!! I had to add two cups of rice milk to the recipe to get it out of the 'brick stage'...and I didn't even add all the ingredients...I wonder if one can of beans can absorb four cups of oatmeal that has been ground up???? Something is dreadfully wrong with this recipe. Would like her to fix it and get back to me because it has possibilities!! thanks. PS: I think the problem with it was the instructions of 'dropping by the spoonfuls' onto the baking sheet. There's no way you can 'drop' this batter..it's like cement. Should have read:"roll up into a log and cut in half inch widths"!!!!

I added 1/2 cup of soy milk (as the recipe was a little too dry), and increased the dates to 1 cup. I got 22 cookies out of the recipe. My husband loved them!
Yum!! I was skeptical about bean paste cookies, but these are fantastic! I altered the recipe after reading other reviews. 1. ground up the oats with the coconut (I like coconut flavor but not texture!), 2. added 3 teaspoons of ground flax seed, 3. added 1 cup apple sauce for moisture, and 4. used prunes instead of dates and dried cranberries and blueberries instead of raisins. These are amazing! I will make them again with mini chocolate chips as a treat.
I was looking for a high protein/fiber cookie to eat after dinner to help me avoid snacking. After reading the reviews, I added 3 egg whites and 1/2 cup milk and didn't add nuts. I had to bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes for the cookies to be brown. Still very tasty and moist inside. I am storing in cookie tins with waxed paper while still warm to keep them moist. Yield: 30 cookies.
These cookies tasted fantastic and healthy, but like everyone else, I had to add about 1 1/2 cups of liquid just to bring the dough to the proper consistency. I used 1/2 cup each of applesauce, egg beaters, and skim milk. I also used dried pineapple instead of dates and added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tsp almond extract...yummm! I eat these every day before my workout to give me some energy to burn! They're also great for breakfast when I'm in a hurry. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
A very interesting cookie.Usually I will always do a first time recipe exact and then alter it to my liking, but after reading reviews and seeing the lack of moisture in the recipe I decided to add 1 cup of applesauce. I then added 1/2 cup chocolate(dark) chips less coconut, only the brown sugar and less dates. I like sneaking good things into my teenagers diets as all the want is pizza & Macdonalds!!

In its railroad heyday from 1850-1950, Willimantic hosted 50 trains a day on three businessman special lines that traveled between New York and Boston on 6-hour trips, a decent time even today. All three lines – one Central Vermont and two New Haven – junctioned at Bridge Street off of Main Street by the Willimantic River.
For the last 20 years, a group of avid railroaders who started from scratch have been nurturing a life-size museum on 45 acres near there that boasts a 60-foot-long, 19th century, hand-operated turntable, attached to a gorgeous roundhouse and an array of rolling stock on the grounds. Visitors can climb in and out of buildings, cars and engines, and operate a pump car, for instance.
Last year, the museum dedicated a full replica of the Gallows Signal, created from the original blueprints, that controlled all trains at the Bridge Street crossing for 100 years beginning in 1854. Museum member Dick Arnold of Mansfield was the project leader. And Doris Johnson gave the $3,500 for materials in honor of her late husband, Frank, a Manchester modeler who specialized in crossings and a member of the museum.
"I know that Frank is looking down from there and is very proud," said Johnson.
The volunteers and people who love this place work like the dickens. It's hard work to lay track. They have a master carpenter who is restoring a caboose right now. An area Eagle Scout restored an operator's shanty recently.
They found the turntable so like their original one discarded in a field in South Carver, Mass., and got the owner to sell it to them for $10,000, including delivery, in 1994. They worked for seven years to get the mechanics together and unveiled it in 2008. It's so smartly engineered that a few kids can turn the mammoth machine with their own strength.
A couple of years ago, some beyond prankster criminals broke the custom glass out the roundhouse and defaced their property. The police didn't have much to go on, but other glass breakage occurred on train property around the same time in Palmer, Mass. Binswanger Glass in Bristol, CT, replaced thousands of dollars in glass and is in the process of redoing the 8-foot-diameter gable window on the end of the roundhouse.
The next step in the museum vision is to finish laying two miles of track and running rides for visitors the three-quarter mile down to Bridge Street.
"Once we're able to give train rides, people will flock to the place," says Jeff Laverty of Mansfield, museum treasurer and one of the very informed docents you can find on site just about any weekend.
This is an escape for the budding train geek in your household or just for you and your own love of the rails. It's a gem. Don't miss it.

Photographs of People Crammed into Uncomfortable Spaces
San Francisco-based photographer Lee Materazzi shoots photographs of people whose bodies are stuffed uncomfortably into random spaces. Her subjects are seen smushed between two doors, smothered by a garden hose, and even squeezed into a tunnel under a pathway.
All the images involve body manipulation rather than photo manipulation. She says that her work deals with the "thin line between finding oneself and losing oneself."

Could you post a picture Don? There should not be any hole.
Hello All, and Thank You Terry Love for these nice Forums.
I have a 2 inch water Well and was Looking at my Packer adapter on the top of the well where the Pump mounts, It is a vertical mount deep well Pump.
What I thought was a 1.25 inch Nipple adapter has a Square 1/4" hole in it, Could this be Normal ?
I find it hard to believe that a Square Hole would Rust into a Round Nipple, The Nipple is about 6 inches long and connects to the first section of the 1.25 inch drop pipe.
Could this be part of the Air Volume Control System ?
I read somewhere that there was a valve in the well for the AVC, and wounder if that could be part of it ?
I don't understand how a 1/4 X 1/4 inch opening could Auto-Magically appear.
Thanks For any info.
Could you post a picture Don? There should not be any hole.
Yes I will try to post a picture, If I can figure out how too.
Here is the picture of the square hole in the nipple. I was able to get the PVC unscrewed from the nipple but I am still working to get the nipple out of the adapter.
I think the square hole is just a fluke , but had me thinking.
I hope to get this thing working soon. I have a good neighbor, and do have water in the house.
Thank You for your help Texas Wellman, It is nice to have someone that has been there and done that. You are the best.
Link to Picture;
"Beer is now cheaper than gas; drink don't drive"
Good Morning.
I am happy to report that I now have water again. Works very well now. It takes about 60 seconds for it to make up the 20 pound difference that the pressure switch is set at. Much better than the 15 minutes that is was taking.
I did have a problem at first, after getting it all put together, Pump would not prime. I filled the well pipes, mounted the pump, filled the prime hole where the meter mounts, still no prime, No water.
I am thinking , How did I screw up ? I scratched my head for about 1 Hour, Decided to put my vacuum gauge on the suction side of the pump where the Air Volume control would normally go. ( I do not use the AVC because it never worked for very long I just drain the tank when needed)
When I removed the plug to connect my gauges no water came out, I had to smile, because I knew that water should have been coming out.
I then continued to add water to the prime port, until water starting coming out of the vacuum hole, Then put the plug back in.
I reconnected my pressure gauge, Turned the power back on, and my wife did a TADA. Water was pumping again.
I have never seen a pump get air locked, I think that is what happened.
Anyway to make a long story shorter, My wife was very happy, as was I. After all that work, It worked.
Why I had it all apart I did disinfect using bleach, And the water is very clear now.
I want to Thank Texas Wellman, And Terry Love for making all this possible.
I am a Very Happy Camper.
Thank You Again Texas Wellman for all your help with my project, You are the Man.
Now I can do a TADA...
Have a Great Day.

Very easy and yummy. I added some cumin and chili powder for more flavor since I didn't have broth. Thanks!

Delish! I sautéed chopped onion and a chopped sweet pepper along with the rice. Also used a can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño to add a bit of zip. Finally, I added sliced, fully cooked chorizo sausage at the very end to make this a complete meal. Dinner was a BIG hit!

These sort of laws only catch stupid criminals (not the really dangerous ones) and causes inconvenience and higher costs for the rest of us.
Governments and big corporates across the globe have proved that they can not protect personal data properly, this creates a huge honey pot of personal information, what we search, view and type into the web will all be there. Of course if I use a VPN tunnel to another country and do all my Internet from there then I have already ciurcumvented this, and if I choose USA I can also get cheaper iTunes purchases as well (a small bonus).

Wine clubs are trying to ditch their serious reputation.
A bevy of new wine clubs aim to make participation more entertaining than just receiving a few bottles in the mail—using personality quizzes, interactive videos and sports-tournament-like brackets to tease out preferences and teach members about wine in the process. But with the wrong picks, they can still be a budget drain.
"Most wine clubs are based on a model that launched in the '80s. They all send everyone the same wine … red or white isn't enough of a choice," said Jay Sung, CEO of Lot18, which in May introduced the wine club Tasting Room.
Tasting Room uses a $10 starter kit of six mini bottles—four red and two white—to determine members' taste profile and decide which wines to send in the first $85 kit. Rating those wines refines the selection for future shipments, which cost $149 plus shipping, he said.
Vinely, a California start-up, generates a similar taste profile but starts with a tasting party where members sample and rate six wines, for a fee that varies by the number of guests. Subsequent monthly shipments cost $97. For each shipment, J.W. Marriott Hotels & Resorts' new JWM Wine Club sends members four sample-sized bottles, of which they can choose two to receive in full size for $150.
WineBattles.com makes the experience more competitive with its Battle of the Month Club. Members opt in for a competition bracket of a particular varietal, sampling two bottles at a time and voting for their favorite to proceed to the next round. They select among red, white or sparkling wines and three price ranges: $20 to $35 per bottle, $35 to $50, or $50 to $75.
"The idea is at the end of that, say, pinot noir battle, someone has a better idea of what balance means," said Mike O'Brien, CEO of Wine Battles. "You walk away with more knowledge of what you like."
Such clubs can be a smart pick, industry experts say.
"They move the ball forward on understanding, and not just drinking," said Jerald O'Kennard, director of the Beverage Testing Institute. Sampling and evolving choices can eliminate a typical wine club risk—you won't like the bottles—and thus increase the value proposition.
Experts say it's no surprise that more companies are leaping into the wine club business. Wineries' direct sales to consumers rose 10 percent last year from 2011, to $1.46 billion, according to industry tracker Wines & Vines.
"Probably half of that is wine clubs," said editor Jim Gordon.
Investment firm Silicon Valley Bank expects direct-to-consumer wine sales to grow 13 percent this year, outpacing overall wine sales growth, which could fall between 4 percent and 8 percent.
Many of the new clubs send members selections from smaller wineries, which are more interested in forming such partnerships. Wholesalers increasingly focus on large wineries with enough output for national distribution, said Rob McMillan, founder of Silicon Valley Bank's wine division.
"That has left the small guys more on the sideline than ever," he said.
But that also means people should be careful about checking reviews, pricing and policies before enrolling in a club, as they're bound to get a lot of wines they've never seen at their local wine shop.
"It's gone way beyond, trust us, we'll send you some nice stuff," said O'Kennard of the Beverage Testing Institute. Clubs may offer private labels and closeouts, which can be hit or miss, he said.
The clubs say they choose wines judiciously.
"We're trying 60 to 80 to pick eight for a battle," O'Brien said. "We're helping you select among good already." Both Wine Battles and Tasting Room say members can cancel anytime, and receive replacements or refunds if they don't like a bottle.
Clubs at a favorite winery or a local retailer might be the better deal for some oenophiles, however, according to John Gillespie, president of the industry group Wine Market Council.
Up-front tastes help ensure you like the product before buying, he said, adding that "you've got a degree of confidence." Clubs may also be arranged more like loyalty clubs, with regular discounts rather than monthly shipments—a boon for less-frequent imbibers.

"We're going to turn them on backwards or something". That's Wes Welker talking about Depend ungergarments. It takes a "real man" to put their names behind that product and no one is going to debate the toughness of NFL stars Welker and Demarcus Ware. The two have been taking part in an online contest...the winner will have 50 thousand dollars donated to "The V Foundation" in their name.
Ware told Steve and Maria what he thinks about when he lines up and gets ready to, as Steve puts it, "terrify the quarterback". He also talks about being "The Hulk" on the field and laid back off the field. Welker talks about his new home in Denver after leaving the New England Patriots. He also talks about what he's thinking about when he goes to catch a pass and KNOWS he's going to get nailed.
They've spent months asking people to join their "teams" online and vote for them...the winner gets 50 thousand dollars donated to the V Foundation in their name.
Fun Facts about Demarcus Ware:
Fun Facts about Wes Welker:
(Source: Wikipedia)
This past April, Dallas Cowboys star DeMarcus Ware, and Denver Bronco Wes Welker, went head to head in the Depend Players Challenge asking consumers to join their "teams" online and vote for their favorite player for a good cause. The friendly competition was part of The Great American Try On.
Now, the fan favorite between DeMarcus and Wes is ready to be announced, and Depend will award the player with the most votes with a $50,000 donation in his name to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, and the runner up a $25,000 donation as a participation prize. Both donations will be used to fund prostate cancer research.
The V Foundation is an organization actively searching for a cure for cancers like prostate cancer, because about 1 in 6 men are affected by the disease, which can often lead to bladder control issues. The Great American Try On aims to help restore the confidence and active lifestyle of the millions of Americans living with these issues.
While the competition might be over, consumers can still visit TheGreatAmericanTryOn.com to learn more and see how Wes and DeMarcus are helping to raise awareness.

Encore Capital Group (NASDAQ: ECPG) recently announced that it will acquire Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: AACC), a move that amplifies the mergers-and-acquisition landscape of the debt collection industry. Both Encore Capital Group (which does business as Midland Credit Management) and Asset Acceptance are major players in the debt buying business, and the merger of the two will create a behemoth that, according to an Encore press release, represents the purchase of "over 60 million individual consumer accounts…with a face value of over $130 billion."
While Asset Acceptance will continue as a subsidiary of Encore Capital Corp., Encore CEO Brandon Black said, "This acquisition moves our industry into a new phase of maturity defined by more efficient companies that are committed to operating ethically and treating consumers with respect." According to Justia.com, during 2013 Encore has been named as a defendant in a dozen lawsuits alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, while Asset Acceptance has been named as a defendant in three dozen lawsuits. The Better Business Bureau gives Encore and Asset Acceptance each a B+ rating, and has logged 1190 closed Encore complaints and 903 closed Asset Acceptance complaints within the past three years.
The proposed merger, which has to undergo review by securities regulators, is expected to occur during the second quarter.
