Mediocre Champagne
A few years ago, this was my first choice for Champagne. Either it's gone down-hill or my tastes have changed, because I'm not very impressed by this. It's pleasant enough, but pleasant enough isn't good enough at this price. There is very little of the characteristic Champagne aroma. Mouth-feel is good. Quince and biscuit flavours. Rather a sour finish. Over all, very average.

Care box not provided!
Great champagne, shame about the packaging. I have already mentioned the missing box to Ocado - they were meant to change the picture.

Pig Out in Harbor East
Oliver Speck's turns to down-home barbecue.
Hopped up on Beer
Restaurant chefs get creative in the kitchen with craft brews.
Wine with dessert? Of course. Beer with dessert? What? Actually, as craft beers take the country by storm, the seemingly odd matchup works quite well. Gourmets are finding that exquisite boutique chocolates and rich, gooey desserts mate perfectly well with dark, malty porters and pale, crisp ales. Such creative pairings reflect a growing awareness of beer as an incredibly versatile drink with flavor complexities that rival—and, some would argue, surpass—those of wine.
Mini Meal
Bite-sized burgers are sliding their way onto our menus.
So, we admit, sliders (or mini-hamburgers) have been around for a while. White Castle has had their legendary "Slyders" on the menu since it opened in 1921. But now the petite fare has gotten so big that it even has its own Best of Baltimore category this year. Also, restaurants are rolling out more trendy versions of the tiny creations. Canton's Annabel Lee Tavern offers lamb sliders. Salt in Butchers Hill has upscale foie gras and Kobe beef sliders. Favorite breakfast spot Miss Shirley's features lobster salad sliders.

Off the Eaten Path
Todd Conner's
What could be more classic than a corner bar in Fells Point? You know the kind—a long bar in the front and a small dining room in the rear with a side entrance that might once have been for "ladies." Todd Conner's fits the bill and goes a step farther. It's part of the new dining trend that offers not only traditional bar food but also sophisticated meals with fresh ingredients and interesting twists on old favorites.
The Shape of Wine To Come
Summer is the season for getting personal with Mother Nature. Unfortunately, there are plenty of places we like to go that our wine can't. Because it's packaged in glass, wine is often banned from boats in the harbor, picnic baskets at outdoor concerts, and poolside cookouts. But relief is at hand as alternative packaging for wine continues to gain momentum. Producers are trying out everything from aluminum to PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, mostly to cut down on shipping costs. (And as the price of fuel rises, more folks are getting out of glass.)
Brotherly Love
Beef, not sibling rivalry, stars at Burger Bros.
Brothers Tim and Mike Murphy want you to eat more burgers. They're not shy about it either, making their carnivorous demands everywhere from their menu to their website eatmoreburgers.com. Fortunately, the duo behind Towson's aptly named Burger Bros. (14 Allegheny Ave., 410-321-1880) is willing to step up and provide the meat in question.
Food Find
Gourmet market complements bistro-style restaurant.
As you stroll along Frederick Road, you understand why there are banners proclaiming, "Rediscover Catonsville." New restaurants and shops are bringing a new energy to the place. One, in particular, caught our eye—Catonsville Gourmet Market & Fine Foods (829 Frederick Road, 410-788-0005). The restaurant is bistro style with white-cloth-covered tables, but we were drawn to the market area.
Pots and Plants
Local chefs harvest herbs from restaurant gardens
Consumers aren't the only ones seeking locally grown produce these days. Increasingly, chefs are, too. And while these kitchen maestros may not be able to toil in the fields, they can tend to leafy herbs at their restaurants. Joe Edwardsen, owner of Joe Squared on North Avenue, found the perfect spot for his aromatic plants, including oregano, cilantro, and basil—his roof. "I wanted to get the freshest herbs I could possibly get," Edwardsen says.
Ice Age
Baltimore's crush on snowballs heats up in summertime.
Sometimes, we take our Marylandness for granted. Steamed crabs, Natty Boh, Berger's Cookies, and duckpin bowling are just some examples of our unique heritage. And, oh, yes, snowballs, or sno-balls, depending on who's doing the spelling. You can't just drop into, say, Florida or Ohio and expect to see a snowball stand on every corner. But you can here, as surely as the O's play ball and fishing boats ply the Chesapeake in summertime. "That's the attraction," says Bob Ellrich, owner of three Friendly Snowball stands in Baltimore County with his wife, Tanga. "It's a short season.
Everything's Coming Up Roses
Beer seems to be the traditional beverage of summer, and I am certainly not going to argue with that. It's cold, refreshing, and goes well with all summer fare, from burgers to barbecue to spice-encrusted crabs. But there is another option that does all these things, a category of wine that mates with summer food and summer fun, and can also be enjoyed year-round.
Bar Food Plus
Gourmet pizzas and creative entrees give an edge to Luca's in Locust Point.
Luca's Cafe (1230 E. Fort Ave., Locust Point, 443-708-5694) is the kind of place where you feel comfortable bringing a month-old baby or celebrating a big-number birthday. Or once the young-uns and oldsters vamoose, showing up with a special date or just yourself. You enter the bar area and can settle in there or head to a table in the downstairs or upstairs dining rooms. Handsome wood floors, paneling, and paintings by local artists add charm and cheer. Luca's pizzas are in a class by themselves—thin crusts, roasted toppings, clever interpretations.
Off the Eaten Path
Victoria Gastro Pub
In a pristine slice of Columbia sits a nondescript, brick structure near several similarly unobtrusive buildings in an office park. Even the nearby McDonald's is toned down per the planned community's bylaws. Outwardly, we had no clue what to expect when entering our destination: Victoria Gastro Pub.
Down on the Farm
In the tiny town of Hurlock, three young entrepreneurs grow an unusual product--Maryland's first home-grown shrimp.
With great anticipation, Scott Fritze, the young co-owner of Marvesta Shrimp Farms, pulled up to Woodberry Kitchen in his black Pathfinder with his first delivery—a large cooler full of Maryland's first home-grown shrimp, still alive and squirming. The grueling days and sleepless nights of building a shrimp farm from scratch would be worth it if Spike Gjerde, chef/owner of Woodberry Kitchen, liked the product. After all, this is a chef who prizes fresh ingredients like a sommelier treasures fine wine.
21 Annapolis Eats
Our first Annapolis restaurant guide gives the highs (and some lows) of what the historic city has on its plate.
Summer is in the air, and Annapolis, our state capital, beckons with its adorable shops, fancy sailboats at the newly refurbished City Dock, and grand historic homes and buildings. There's lots to see and do, but sometime during your visit, you'll need to rest your weary feet and get a bite to eat. With this in mind, we thought it was time to find out exactly what is available for hungry visitors in the historic district and nearby Eastport. So our insatiable reviewers set out on a culinary expedition, sampling much of the city's fare.
Twist and Shout about Screw-Cap Wines
"Any wine that comes like this," the restaurateur began, tapping the screw cap that adorned a delicious, charming bottle of pinot noir, "is vinegar. I won't even cook with it." It had been a while since I'd encountered such a damning opinion of screw caps, and it irked me. Americans often attach an unpleasant stigma to screw caps, which is rooted in outdated notions of poor quality and low fashion. In fact, screw caps are the fastest growing method of closing a wine bottle, and for good reason.

The Houston Center for Photography (HCP) is pleased to announce the appointment of Madeline Yale as its new Interim Executive Director. Her appointment follows the resignation of Allison Hunter who left HCP to concentrate on her own work as a photographer and graphic artist.
Ms. Yale first joined the HCP staff as Program Director in February 2006. She has a BA with honors from Skidmore College, a post-graduate certificate from Sothebys in London, and an MA in Photographic Studies with Distinction from the Norwich School of Art & Design, England, where she also taught history of photography and photographic theory. Before coming to Houston, she organized exhibitions in the US and abroad and managed the photographic estate of American photographer Todd Webb.
As Program Director, Ms. Yale has curated Exhibitions at HCP, collaborating with the Exhibition Committee in a series of innovative curatorial projects including Trace (Visions of Katrina), currently on display in the HCP gallery, and an upcoming Retrospective show honoring the 25th Anniversary of HCP.
In her new position, Ms. Yale will provide leadership for HCPs talented young staff as the organization moves into its 25th anniversary year, a year in which HCP anticipates expansion of its Learning Center curriculum (with the opening of a new digital imaging laboratory), expanded community outreach programs, and a full exhibition schedule.
HCP is currently recruiting an Assistant Program Director to support Ms. Yale as she takes on the added responsibilities of the Interim Director and is instituting a national search for a permanent Executive Director.

ProductSafeGuard Easy multi-platform 4.5x Client OSWindows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition Server OSWindows 2003 Standard Edition Question Is it possible to implement SafeGuard Easy in a RAID 0/1/5 environment? What is to consider when implementation takes place? Answer First of all, we must differentiate between a software and hardware RAID: Software RAID Software implementations are provided by most Operating Systems. A software layer sits above the (generally block based) disk device drivers and provides an abstraction layer between the logical drives (RAID arrays) and physical drives. Software RAID is typically limited to RAID 0 (striping across multiple drives for increased space and performance) or RAID 1 (mirroring two drives). Software implementations can allow RAID arrays to be created from partitions rather than entire physical drives. Hardware RAID A hardware RAID implementation requires, at a minimum, a special RAID controller. This may be a PCI expansion card, or a capability built in to the motherboard. The drives may be IDE/ATA, SATA, SCSI or any combination thereof. The system using the RAID can be directly attached to the controller or, more commonly, connected via a SAN. The controller hardware handles the management of the drives, and performs any parity calculations required by the chosen RAID level. Hardware implementations also typically support hot swapping, allowing failed drives to be replaced while the system is running. Nowadays, the most common RAID levels are: - RAID 0: Striped Set (2 disks minimum) without parity - RAID 1: Mirrored Set (2 disks minimum) without parity - RAID 5: Striped Set (3 disk minimum) with Distributed Parity SafeGuard Easy and RAID: From the technical point of view, SafeGuard Easy can be implemented on systems where a dedicated RAID controller takes care of the RAID functionality. The system must be configured as RAID 0. SafeGuard Easy does not support built-in software RAID solutions from Windows XP/2000 or additional RAID classes, other than RAID 0! Please keep in mind that, from the technical point of view, it is not possible to use typical RAID features like 'hot swapping' (changing defective harddisks online) on RAID systems where SafeGuard Easy is installed. In case of emergency, the use of SafeGuard Easy's emergency tools (e.g. for emergency decryption purposes) is possible on hardware based RAID 0 systems.

KENNESAW, Ga. – The FGCU women's soccer team used three goals to remain unbeaten in Atlantic Sun play, shutting out Kennesaw State, 3-0, on Sunday at the KSU Soccer Stadium.
The Eagles earned their sixth straight and eighth shutout of the year to improve to 9-3-2 overall and 4-0-1 in the A-Sun. FGCU has an unbeaten streak of 18 games (15-0-3) in conference action that dates back to the end of the 2009 campaign.
"I am really proud of our team after another outstanding performance," said head coach Jim Blankenship. "This was a true team victory and I liked how we aggressively came after our opponent today.
FGCU set the tone early in the game by taking numerous shots in the first 15 minutes, including a shot by junior forward Brittany Burt (St. Petersburg, Fla./Northeast HS/USF) that was stopped by Kennesaw State's keeper Mel Hutto in the 14th minute.
The Eagles took the lead in the 42nd minute when Burt made a terrific cross to senior Olivia Elias (Coral Springs, Fla./American Heritage-Delay HS), who scored near the far post to make the score 1-0. It was Elias's second goal of the season.
The Green and Blue finished the first-half with an 11-2 shot advantage, allowing just one shot on goal in the first 45 minutes.
FGCU quickly added to its lead just nine minutes into the second-half after a deflection found senior Gina Petracco (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot HS), who blasted home her team-leading fourth goal of the season. Burt and freshman Shannen Wacker (Parker, Colo./Ponderosa HS) were credited with assists on the play.
Six minutes later, the Eagles struck again when Burt placed a corner kick that found redshirt junior Ashley Ciesielczyk (Oregon, Ohio/Clay), who headed in her second goal of the season. Burt finished the game with three assists, giving her five on the season.
FGCU held an impressive 20-4 shot advantage over the 90 minutes of action, including 13 shots on goal. Senior keeper Stephanie Powers (Seffner, Fla./Armwood HS) made three saves to post her 27th career shutout and is just two shutouts away from tying the all-time A-Sun record. Powers hasn't allowed a goal in sixth straight games, including two double over-time affairs with a streak of 602 minutes without allowing a goal.
FGCU returns home for senior night against USC Upstate on Friday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

I would change it to "blah blah blah REALLY SUCKS" and then add some facts about how they contacted you to change the title... =)
Editing the title may lower the search ranking. Even though you should be legally safe, mentioning the C&D in a new article would guarantee you would get sued if they're threatening it now, and that would be annoying, so I suggest just emailing them back saying you won't touch the article because it is an opinion piece. If they offer (you can't suggest this) money to take it down, then great, otherwise, just go about business as usual.

A while ago, we reported that the nVision conference is cancelled. Earlier today, nVidia announced its smaller-scale event, counterpart to Intel's IDF.
We managed to get a confirmation from three independent sources - nVidia's 2.4 billion transistor answers to RV870 and Larrabee is not just taped out, but A1 silicon is in Santa Clara.
As GT300 takes shape, we managed to learn one tidbit more: the die size of this 2.4 billion transistor monster. We are surprised, to say the least.
With the news that ATI delayed the RV870 part to 4Q'09, there are reasons why Santa Clara camp will be happy. Brace for news folks: GT300 is coming before the RV870.
ATI claimed that 256-bit memory controller is justified with the GDDR5, doubling the bandwidth from GDDR3. But what happens if nVidia launches a 512-bit controller with GDDR5?
Thanks for reading BSN*

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Children Age 1 to Early Teens(Lay Rescuer CPR for Children Age 1 to Early Teens)
Diana Kohnle DefinitionCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a series of steps to help a person who is not responding and has stopped breathing. CPR helps deliver oxygen rich blood to the body tissue when the body is not able to do this on its own. Reasons for ProcedureCPR is given to a child who is not breathing. Reasons for this may include:
The outcome will depend on the cause and how soon effective CPR was initiated. Many people are unable to regain a normal heartbeat after it has stopped. Possible Complications TOPIt is possible that ribs will fracture or break during chest compressions. Other complications, like a puncture of a lung, are also possible. People with weakened bones have a higher risk of fractures from CPR. However, there is greater risk of death if CPR is delayed or not done correctly. What to Do TOPPrior to ProcedureWhen you see a child suddenly collapse, or find a child unconscious on the ground, immediately check to see if he is responsive. Tap the child and ask: "Are you OK?" If the child is unresponsive, follow these steps:
How Long Will It Take?The length of time for CPR depends on the underlying causes and response time of medical help. Will It Hurt the Child?The patient is unconscious when CPR is given. The procedure does not hurt. Some children may complain of soreness in the chest after regaining consciousness. Post-procedure CareThe emergency team will take over care when they arrive. Children will need to be taken to the hospital for evaluation following CPR. Call for Help TOPIf a child is unresponsive and someone is with you, have that person call for medical help right away. If you are alone, do CPR for about two minutes before calling for medical help.

A Southern-fried delicacy with Georgia sweetness.
Servings: 6 servings
Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
3 or 4 large firm green tomatoes
2 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for deep-frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups self-rising flour
Freshly ground black pepper
Vidalia Onion Relish:
2 white onions, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Dip the tomatoes into buttermilk, then dredge them into flour with a dash of pepper. Deep-fry until golden brown. Keep warm.
For the Vidalia Onion Relish:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for a few hours.

By Evelyn williams on October 17, 2011
My 29 year old daughter and I ate your Fried Green Tomatoes and Vidalia Relish at your restaurant and I have made the tomates and the relish every year since. My daughter always says Mom, you need to make Paula's tomatoes and relish this year before the green tomatoes are all gone. We love love the recipe. To keep my vilalia onions longer, I do as my Daddy always did with apples and onions, I wrap them in newspaper and store them in my fridge in the crisper. They will last alot longer especially since we cannot get vidalia onions only once a year. My family calls me Judy Deen since I am always cooking and especially trying recipes of Paula's.
By Judy Robbins on October 05, 2011
Hi Liz, Yes, this is the same recipe that is used in The Lady & Sons.
By Jonathan Able on August 26, 2011
This relish is outstanding!!! I made it with the Fried Green Tomatoes and it was devoured! I had a friend over from the south, Kentucky, and he was amazed. I am making it again today and serving it with corn fritters!!!
By Carla Elbert on August 13, 2011
Is this the same as the lady and sons recipe?! I had Thierry fried green tomatoes with a dipping sauce there that was AMAZING! And I want to know if it's the sam, would love to make it!
By Liz on August 13, 2011
I agree with Glenna, I'm not a fan of breading. I use 1/2 flour, 1/2 corn meal and salt and pepper. Fry until golden on both sides. i think they have more tomato flavor.
By Marcia on July 31, 2011
I love your fried green tomatoes, but when trying them at the buffet in Tunica's Harrahs location, they seem to be dredged in mostly corn meal instead of flour. Which is correct?
By bennie massey on July 29, 2011
Just the recipe we needed! Green tomatoes galore! Delicious! The Vidalia onion relish put it over the top! Thank you! You are the best!

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: Twentieth Century)
Article abstract: Writing in the tradition of Romantic individualism, Hesse produced novels and novellas that brought him literary acclaim. Highly autobiographical and confessional, his prose works employ modernist thought and aesthetic principles to narrate the development of existential protagonists.
Early Life
Hermann Hesse was born on July 2, 1877, in Calw, a village on the edge of Germany's Black Forest. His parents, Johannes and Marie (née Gundert), were German Pietists, and his maternal grandfather was a distinguished Indologist. In Hesse's youth, the family lived for six years in Basel, Switzerland, where his father taught at a mission school. His own youth and schooling were marked by years of unhappiness, primarily because of conflict with his father and other authority figures. After experiencing severe depression in a Protestant seminary at Maulbronn, he entered a Gymnasium but remained only briefly. Subsequent service as an apprentice in a tower clock factory in Calw was similarly dispiriting. Employment in bookstores, first in Tübingen and later in Basel, enabled him to develop his intellect through reading. With the success of his first novel, Peter Camenzind (1904; English translation, 1961), he resolved to devote his life to literature.
The personal and psychological strife and unhappiness of his early life persisted through most of his writing career, at least until his third marriage, when he was in his fifties. Following the failure of his first marriage in 1916, he suffered a mental breakdown. Disillusioned with German militarism even before World War I, he became a Swiss citizen in 1923. After settling in Montagnola, Switzerland, in 1919, and particularly after his marriage to Ninon Auslander in 1931, his life assumed a measure of stability.
Life's Work
Hesse's literary career spanned more than six decades, and over that period he drew his ideas, themes, and narrative techniques from rich and eclectic sources. Among German Romantic writers, the influence of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jean Paul, Novalis, and others was so extensive that critics have placed Hesse in the tradition of Romantic individualism. Among philosophers, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche impressed him most deeply. Further, he was steeped in Eastern philosophy and religious thought, including classical Chinese poets, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita. The historian Jakob Burckhard, the psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, and the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevski also exerted strong influence on his thought and art. From the individualism of the Romantics with their emphasis on intuition, from the psychology of the will in Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and from the depth psychology of Freud and Jung, Hesse developed a Romantic individualism akin to modern existentialism—one that escapes the sentimentality of earlier German Romanticism. His writing, confessional and highly autobiographical, is essentially concerned with the development of the individual through what he termed an inward journey.
Hesse's artistic production was also exceptionally varied. His first book was a collection of lyric poems, and throughout most of his life he continued writing verse—hundreds of lyrics in all. Moreover, he produced essays, articles, book reviews, and short stories in abundance. He mastered watercoloring and illustrated some of his volumes. His major literary achievement, however, lies in the novels and novellas produced during the period spanned by the two world wars, from Demian (1919; English translation, 1923) to Das Glasperlenspiel: Versuch einer Lebensbeschreibung des magister Ludi Josef Knecht samt Knechts hinterlassenen schriften (1943; Magister Ludi, 1949; also as The Glass Bead Game, 1969).
Individual development, Hesse believed, was thwarted by two major forces: nationalism and technology. Because he considered these obstacles to be dehumanizing, Hesse consistently rejected their standardization and regimentation and portrayed characters who transcended them in order to reach the highest level of self-expression. In his early Künstlerromans, such as Klingsor (1920; Klingsor's Last Summer, 1970), he presents the view that to excel one must escape middle-class conformity through either asceticism or sensuality. Hesse's protagonists usually engage in these extreme forms of self-denial or self-assertion.
Highly autobiographical and unendingly confessional in form, Hesse's novels belong to literary genres originating with Jean-Jacques Rousseau in which confession becomes an avenue to self-justification. Yet the prized inner journey implied more than a Romantic celebration of individualism. It meant the development of individual talent and capacity through an effort of will in a Schopenhauerian sense, an essentially existential emphasis. Hesse's protagonists are engaged in a journey; they are seekers who, unable to control reality outside themselves, strive for individual development, fulfillment, and meaning.
Accompanying this individual quest centered in the self is a set of assumptions about the outside world. Hesse's orientalism treats Asia as a source of renewal, both personal and spiritual, but it also reflects his view that Europe is in decline because of spiritual and intellectual bankruptcy. This theme surfaces boldly in Klingsor's Last Summer. In an almost Spenglerian pessimism, Hesse endorses the decline of Europe, and much of his later fiction is influenced by this perceived reality. Often presenting external decline through expressionistic techniques, Hesse has his protagonists view external events as grotesquely distorted and chaotic. Avenues of their escape are isolation, which Siddhartha attempts; sensuality, Harry Haller's means in Der Steppenwolf (1927; Steppenwolf, 1929); or projection into the future where an ideal society replaces a failed one, as in The Glass Bead Game. Hence, the plight of the individual soul enmeshed in a declining civilization sets the conflict for the major prose fiction.
Hesse's first novel, a Bildungsroman, Peter Camenzind, a story of adolescent friendship and poignant young love based upon his own early life and schooling, is...

In 1911, he traveled to Ceylon, Sumatra, and Malaya, although because of illness he did not actually visit India itself. In 1912, he moved to Switzerland.

Hermann Hesse (HEH-suh) was born in Calw, Württemberg, Germany, on July 2, 1877, to Johannes and Marie Hesse. The family moved to Basel, Switzerland, in 1881, where Hesse acquired Swiss citizenship. He returned to Calw in 1889, and in 1890 and 1891 he attended Latin school in Göppingen in order to prepare himself for the Württemberg regional examinations. To qualify he had to renounce his Swiss citizenship. In 1891 and 1892, he was a student at the seminary in Maulbronn, which he left after seven months because he wanted to be a writer. In 1892, he underwent exorcism treatments in Bad Boll, attempted suicide, spent three months in a clinic for nervous diseases at Stetten, and was admitted to the Gymnasium in Cannstatt. Over the...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Hermann Hesse's works are all fragments of a long confession, reflecting a single human being and his relation to the world and to his own self. Although they are primarily concerned with self-recognition and self-realization, these spiritual autobiographies deal with the human condition in general. They have a mystical quality in the way Hesse traces the quest for identity in a universe that is either hostile or indifferent. Yet the quest is not undertaken within the dogma of an established religion, for then obedience to an established law would suffice. To Hesse, one finds the way according to one's own inner law.

One of Germany's most celebrated writers, Hermann Hesse had a troubled childhood, bouncing from school to school and fighting with his parents. The culmination of these problems occurred in 1892 when he attempted suicide and was placed in two separate mental institutions. He tried several apprenticeships before finally working in a bookshop and beginning his own writing career. Hesse first composed poetry and later moved to writing novels and essays. Always suspicious of authority, Hesse tried to support artists who were persecuted by the Nazis, but he had to endure criticism for not being vocal enough for or against either side. Hesse's novels, mainly Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, gained popularity in the 1960s because many saw them as aligning with counter-culture values.Essential Facts
- The rock band Steppenwolf is named after Hesse's famous book about spiritual crisis.
- Hesse is the most popular German language author in Japan. This is most likely because an educational minister in Japan once assigned students studying German to read a Hesse novel. The practice stuck.
- Hesse received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946 for his last major work, The Glass Bead Game.
- Hesse received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946 for his last major work, The Glass Bead Game.
- In 1933, Hesse helped Bertolt Brecht and Thomas Mann go into exile in an attempt to thwart Hitler's anti-art campaign.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Hermann Hesse (HEHS-uh), one of the most popular novelists of twentieth century world literature, was the second of six children of Johannes Hesse and Marie Gundert, who were extremely religious former missionaries to India. In his youth, he was a sensitive, headstrong child who rebelled against schooling and a trade until he was permitted to serve as a book dealer's apprentice in Tübingen. There he found time to read widely, educating himself in the process, and to write his own poetry and prose. Because much of Hesse's fiction derives directly from his own experiences and is confessional in nature, scholars have identified three distinct stages in his development.

Biography (Novels for Students)
Born in Calw, Germany, in 1877, Hermann Hesse was influenced by his family's mix of background and beliefs. His father, a Pietist-Lutheran, believed that man is basically evil and requires austere discipline. His parents and grandparents had been missionaries in India and the Far East, and their homes yielded the flavors of Indian, Buddhist, and Mohammedan cultures. Hesse said, "From the time I was a child I breathed in and absorbed the spiritual side of India just as deeply as Christianity."
Hypersensitive, imaginative, and headstrong, Hermann behaved rebelliously while yearning to be a poet and magician. School authorities doubted his sanity, and he even fared poorly at schools for mentally challenged and emotionally disturbed children. Instead, he stayed at home, gardening, assisting in his father's publishing house, and reading books on Eastern philosophy and religion in his grandfather's library.
In 1899, Hesse, who had become something of a misfit, moved to Basel, Switzerland, determined to learn the art of living with other people. In 1904, he married and moved to remote Gaienhofen. Seven years later, he left for a trip to the East, expecting to find wisdom in India, which he considered to be a centerplace of innocence; he also hoped to discover answers to his personal problems. Finding only poverty and commercialized Buddhism he returned, suffering from heat exhaustion, dysentery, and disillusionment.
World War I left an already unsettled Hesse badly shaken. Nationalistic enough to hope for a German victory, he also abhorred war and argued for internationalism. That he volunteered his services to the German embassy in Bern and coedited two weeklies for German prisoners of war did little to dissuade his detractors among both the militarists and the pacifists. His father's death in 1916 further compounded his growing despair. At this time Hesse underwent Jungian psychoanalysis, a process that put him in touch with the irrational forces that lurk beneath both individuals and society at large as well as with the idea of a self-quest through synthesis of these forces.
In 1919, he settled alone in Montagnola, where Siddhartha was written. Persuaded that a postwar Germany was susceptible to change, Hesse helped to found and edit a periodical devoted to social reform, pacifism, and internationalism. Resurgent nationalism and spreading communism caused him to terminate his association with the monthly in 1921. Indignities and waning faith in Germany's political future persuaded Hesse to become a citizen of Switzerland in 1924. During this period, Hesse divorced his first wife and, after a brief second marriage, married Ninon Dolbin, with whom he lived until his death.
During World War II, Hesse was again vilified by the German right-wing press. The bitterness and shock caused by the extermination of his wife's family by the Nazis stayed with Hesse for the rest of his life. Until his death from leukemia in 1962, he remained in Montagnola, rarely leaving it and never going outside of Switzerland, not even when he was awarded the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt am Main and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.
Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: European Poets)
Hermann Hesse was born in Calw, a picturesque village in the Black Forest. He was the grandson of a publisher of religious tracts and the son of devout missionaries from the Pietists, an evangelical Protestant sect. His father, Johannes Hesse, was a German, born the son of a physician in Estonia (then part of the Russian Empire), and his mother Marie Gundert Hesse, a widow with two sons, was also of German heritage, though she had been born in India, where her father Hermann Gundert, a scholarly linguist, had preached.
A precocious child, young Hesse was difficult to handle and particularly acted out during the five...

At least one other person was killed in the clash, which Sangi recorded before he died. KTN broadcast his video.
Police said Sangi was killed in crossfire, although some colleagues believe he may have been deliberately targeted for the station's reporting on a jirga, or tribal council, held by leaders of the Unar tribe, according to the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists. An uncle and colleague of Sangi had recently been attacked in connection with KTN's reports that two children had been punished by the tribal court, PFUJ said.
"We mourn the death of our colleague Munir Ahmed Sangi, who was killed while performing his duties as a journalist," said Ann Cooper, CPJ executive director. "We call for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his death."
Mazhar Abbas, secretary-general of the PFUJ, said Sangi's body was not recovered for several hours after he was shot. The local police chief has suspended at least one police officer for negligence in the incident, according to media reports.
Journalists in Larkana staged a sit-in to protest the killing of their colleague.

NCPA Offers Ways to Curb Fraud, Waste and Abuse in Government Prescription Drug Programs
Alexandria, Va. February 27, 2013 - The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) submitted a statement for the record today to the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee for its hearing on "Fostering Innovation to Fight Waste, Fraud and Abuse in Health Care." NCPA's statement called for pharmacy audits to focus on true waste, fraud and abuse as opposed to clerical errors and for policymakers to examine mail order waste in federal health programs.
"The fiscal integrity of government programs requires finding effective and efficient ways of rooting out fraud, waste and abuse," said NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "When the right patient receives the right medication as prescribed, at the right time and for the correct price, that shouldn't be a punishable offense. Pharmacy audits should focus on finding real malfeasance. Instead, clerical errors are being utilized to pad the middleman's profits on the backs of health care providers. In addition, policymakers must achieve greater oversight of waste generated by mail order auto-shipping as well as transparency to better manage and evaluate contracts with pharmacy benefit managers."
NCPA's statement noted the following:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) should require auditing entities to focus on true fraud, waste and abuse. Many Medicare providers were actually underpaid upon closer examination, according to the Feb. 5 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report Recovery Auditing in the Medicare and Medicaid Program. Moreover, nearly half (43.6 percent) of claims deemed to be overpayments were reversed in favor of providers upon appeal.
Medicare acknowledges egregious pharmacy auditing, noting in the 2014 draft Call Letter that, "[t]he increasing incidence of these adjustments for 'routine clerical errors' rather than incorrect payment amounts (financial errors) may be related to the incentives in contingency reimbursement arrangements with claim audit vendors." Medicare added, "[w]e are concerned that the growing practice of post-audit total claim recoupments from pharmacies is distorting Part D payment, as well as compromising Part D data integrity and impairing our ability to oversee the program."
Waste through mail order auto-shipping is rampant. Medicare has received complaints from beneficiaries about auto-shipping of excessive or unneeded medical products and has documented such incidences. Recently, in front of the House Small Business Committee, a Medicare official testified that from a selected group of beneficiaries that ceased ordering DTS in 2011, 60 percent of these beneficiaries had over 10 months' worth of diabetes testing supplies on hand, likely as a result of mail order auto-shipping. In addition, NCPA strongly encourages an audit of the TRICARE mail order program, given the many examples of mail order waste observed by NCPA members.
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent an $88.5 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 300,000 individuals, including over 62,000 pharmacists.

Breastfeeding baby doll: creepy or groundbreaking?
Sally Wendkos Olds, who wrote "The Complete Book of Breastfeeding," also doesn't understand the problem.
"I think it's a very cute toy," she said. "I think it's just crazy what Bill O'Reilly was saying that it's sexualizing little girls. The whole point is that so many people in our society persist in sexualizing breastfeeding, where in so many other countries around the world they don't think anything of it."
Olds called Americans "prudish in many ways," adding the doll offers: "bodily awareness. It's realizing that this is OK."
Lewis blames lack of U.S. sales — just under 5,000 dolls sold in the last year — solely on phobia about breastfeeding, something widely considered the healthiest way to feed a baby.
"There's no doubt about that," he said. "The whole idea is that there's still some taboos here. They're difficult to justify and difficult to explain but they're out there. You mention breast and people automatically start thinking Janet Jackson or wardrobe malfunctions and all sorts of things that have absolutely nothing to do with breastfeeding."
Lewis considers Breast Milk Baby "very much less sexualized" than Barbie dolls or the sassy Bratz pack.
Olds, who lives in New York City, agreed, though she thinks the doll's full retail price is too high. "That's my only objection to it. It's a lot of money, but people spend a lot of money on their children in all sorts of ways."
Haven't little girls been mimicking the act of breastfeeding with their baby dolls for centuries without benefit of accoutrement?
"Why do we need anything with bells and whistles? Why did we need a Betsy Wetsy? Children like toys that do things," Olds said, invoking one of the first drink and wet dolls created back in 1935. "So this doll makes noises. She burps, she cries, she sucks very noisily. Big deal."
Lincoln Hoppe, a Los Angeles actor and father of five — all breastfed — said a young child who becomes a big sibling and sees mom nursing might enjoy the doll just fine. "After all, they're going to imitate mom anyway using whatever doll they've already got," he said.

Knole House
Knole House /noʊl.haʊs/ NT is an English country house in the civil parish of Sevenoaks in west Kent. Sevenoaks consists of the town itself and then Knole house set in its own 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) park which is substantially wooded and in its north includes Knole House Golf Course. One of England's largest houses, the National Trust attribute a possibility of its having at some point been a calendar house which had 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards. Its grade I listing reflects its mix of Elizabethan to late Stuart structures, particularly in the case of the central façade and state rooms. The surrounding deer park has also survived with little having changed in the 400 years since 1600 although its formerly dense woodland has not fully recovered from the loss of over 70% of its trees in the Great Storm of 1987.[1]
The oldest parts of the house were built by Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury, between 1456 and 1486, on the site of an earlier house belonging to James Fiennes, first Lord Say(e) and Sele[2] who was executed after the victory of Jack Cade's rebels at the Battle of Solefields. On Bourchier's death, the house was bequeathed to the See of Canterbury — Sir Thomas More appeared in revels there at the court of John Morton — the Archbishop's cognizance (motto) of Benedictus Deus appears to either side appears above a large late Tudor fireplace here,[3] and in subsequent years it continued to be enlarged such as with the addition of a new large courtyard, now known as Green Court, and a new entrance tower. In 1538 the house was taken from Archbishop Thomas Cranmer by King Henry VIII along with Otford Palace.[4]
In 1566, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, it came into the possession of her cousin Thomas Sackville whose descendants the Earls and Dukes of Dorset and Barons Sackville have lived there since 1603.[4] The chapel-room with its crypt seems to pre-date this period and has contemporary pews.[3]
The first lease was made on 1 February 1566, between Robert Dudley (Elizabeth's newly created and later stripped-of-titles Earl of Leicester) and Thomas Rolf. Under this the 'manor and mansion-house' of Knole and the park, with the deer, and also Panthurst Park and other lands, were demised to the latter for the term of ninety-nine years at a rent of £200. The landlord was to do all repairs, and reserved the very unusual right (to himself and his heirs and assigns) to occupy the mansion-house as often as he or they chose to do so, but this right did not extend to the gate-house, nor to certain other premises. The tenant was given power to alter or rebuild the mansion-house at his pleasure.[5] As Mr Rolf died very soon after this lease, the tenancy transferred to John Lennard (of Chevening) and his son Samson, Lord Dacre's son-in-law.
The Sackville descendants include writer Vita Sackville-West[2] (her Knole and the Sackvilles, published 1922, is regarded as a classic in the literature of English country houses); her friend and lover Virginia Woolf wrote the novel Orlando drawing on the history of the house and Sackville-West's ancestors. The Sackville family custom of following the Salic rules of primogeniture prevented Sackville-West herself from inheriting Knole upon the death of her father Lionel (1867–1930), the 3rd Lord Sackville, and her father bequeathed the estate to his brother Charles (1870–1962).[4]
The house ranks in the top five of England's largest houses, under any measure used.[6]
The grounds present the largest remaining open space of Sevenoaks which otherwise consists of a generally low-density provincial town, smaller, still mostly wooded Sevenoaks Common, a relatively buffered sand and clay quarry in its north and its only remaining manor as traditionally defined (that is with more than an acre of land).
Art and furnishings[edit]
The many state rooms open to the public contain a collection of 17th-century royal Stuart furniture, perquisites from the 6th Earl's service as Lord Chamberlain to William III in the royal court, including three state beds, silver furniture (comprising a pair of torcheres, mirror and dressing table, being rare survivors of this type), outstanding tapestries and textiles and the Knole Settee. The art collection includes portraits by Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Sir Peter Lely, Sir Godfrey Kneller and Sir Joshua Reynolds (the last being a personal friend of the 3rd Duke), and a copy of the Raphael Cartoons. The eye is especially drawn to some of Reynolds' portraits in the house: a late self-portrait in doctoral robes and the depictions of Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith and Wang-y-tong, a Chinese page boy who was taken into the Sackville household have particular character and force. There are also survivals from the English Renaissance: an Italianate staircase of great delicacy and the vividly carved overmantel and fireplace in the Great Chamber. The 'Sackville leopards', holding heraldic shields in their paws and which form finials on the balusters of the principal stair (constructed 1605-8) of the house, are derived from the Sackville coat of arms.[2][4]
The organ, in the late medieval private chapel at Knole, is arguably the oldest playable organ in England. The organ has four ranks of oak pipes (Stopped Diapason 8, Principal 4, Twelfth 22/3 and Fifteenth 2) contained in a rectangular ornamented chest with the keyboard at the top. Its date of construction is not known, but an early guidebook refers to a marked date of 1623 (although no such date mark is still apparent) - a date in the 1620s has been suggested. The pitch of the organ is sharp (A460 Hz) and the foot-pumped bellows remain in working order.[7]
The house is mostly cared for an opened by the National Trust; however, the Trust only owns the house and an adjoining modest park - overall 52 acres (21 ha).[2] More than half the house has been kept by the Sackville-Wests: Lord Sackville or his family trust own the remaining gardens and estate but permit commercialised access and certain charitable and sporting community events.[8]
The National Trust who own the building believe at one point it may well have been a calendar house which had 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards, but while the number of rooms is approximately correct the staircases is now much lower.[8]
The house is one of the closest to a railway station (in this case a minor main line) in the South-East, at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Sevenoaks station.[9]
As a walled garden, Knole's is very large, at 26 acres (11 ha) (30 including the 'footprint' of the house)[2] and as such is large enough to have the very unusual — and essentially medieval feature of a smaller walled garden inside itself (Hortus Conclusus). It contains many other features from earlier ages which have been wiped away in most country-house gardens: like the house, various landscapers have employed to demonstrate the uses of a large gardens with distinctive features. These features include clair-voies, a patte d'oie, two avenues, one a Chestnut Walk as laid out in a map of 1769, and bosquet hedges.[10]
Rest of the Park[edit]
Overall the house is set in its 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) deer park, which is still in part accurate, however the controlled deer population do not have access to all parts.
Reflecting its woodland, Knole Park, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[10]
Uses in sport and media[edit]
The park hosts the annual Knole Run, a schools cross-country race. It was also used in the filming in January 1967 of the Beatles' videos that accompanied the release of "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever". The stone archway through which the four Beatles rode on horses can still be seen on the southeastern side of the Bird House, which is itself found on the southeastern side of Knole House. The same visit to Knole Park inspired another Beatles song, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! which is based on an 1843 poster advertising Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal, which John Lennon bought in a nearby antiques shop.[11]
Knole House also appears in the 2008 film, The Other Boleyn Girl,[12] along with nearby Penshurst Place and Dover Castle.
It also features in the 2010 film Burke and Hare.,[13][14] Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows [15] and Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides.[16]
In January 2012, the National Trust launched an appeal for £2.7M to restore the house.[17]
