1996 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
"This fabulous 1996 was tasted three times from bottle, and it is unquestionably the finest wine produced by this estate since their blockbuster 1990. Medium to full-bodied, with a saturated black/purple color, the nose offers notes of cedar, jammy black fruits, smoke, truffles, and subtle new oak. In the mouth, there is impressive fruit extraction, a tannic, full-bodied structure, and a classic display of power and finesse. The longer it sat in the glass, the more impressive the wine became. Backward, and massive in terms of its extract and richness, this should prove to be a sensational Leoville-Poyferre for drinking over the next three decades." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

Photographer Aaron Huey's life simply screams adventure. He has shot for such for places all over the world for such high-profile publications as National Geographic, the Smithsonian Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, The New Yorker, and The New York Times.
Aaron began his IRIS Nights lecture reflecting on the theme of the current exhibition at the Space:
"Extreme Exposure.
" He defines
" as
" and
We all go for walks, but nothing compares to how Aaron goes about doing it
- he really goes for a walk! He spent a good portion of his lecture on his series of photographs that focused on his trek across America in 2002. He and his dog, Cosmo, spent 154 days covering 3,349 miles from California to New York, walking every step of the way. That's sure to put some good wear and tear on your sneakers!
Aaron explained that this walk was not a photo project but
"a meditation.
" It was a way for him to help clear his thoughts. He walks
"to be in the great unknown.
Like most of us, Aaron has a million things going through his mind at once and he wanted to purge these overwhelming thoughts. He provided a humorous (yet not too far-fetched!) visual of what his thought process looks like.
Like the
" slide above proves, humor is a big part of Aaron's personality and was also a big part of his lecture. He had the audience in stitches throughout!
In attendance that night was journalist and friend of the photographer, Alex Chadwick.
While traveling across America, Aaron revealed that, due to the generosity of the people he encountered, he only spent $250 dollars of his own money during his entire trip across America. He took people up on their charitable offers to feed him and put him up in their homes for the night. What did he get offered the most? Beer, bibles as well as other leisurely diversions.
Aaron also talked about the time he has spent documenting the people of the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. It's a place he cares deeply about and he travels there several times a year.
Here's Aaron with the Annenberg Foundation's Charles Weingarten, who stopped by to say hello after the lecture. We're sure the two swapped quite a few stories about their own travels around the world!
You did such a great job at IRIS Nights, Aaron and best of luck on your next adventure! If you go for another long walk, remember to invest in a good pair of sneakers!

Remember drive-in theaters? There was something special about parking your car and watching a mediocre movie on a giant, washed-out screen. Then there were those clunky speakers that hooked over your window. And the atrocious food. Yet all could be forgiven if you were canoodling with a date.
Today we have home theaters. But even a great home theater can't match the atmosphere and experience of the drive-in. Or can it?
The owners of this decked-out 4,800-square-foot home didn't want any old home theater. They grew nostalgic and decided to theme their theater around the drive-in cinema where they once met. (Click here to view additional photos.)
"The homeowners really drove this one (no pun intended)," says Glenn Montjoy of electronic installation company Colorado Media Systems in Colorado Springs, Colo. "One of their parents actually owned a drive-in theater, and the clients were engaged at a drive-in. The concept excited everyone involved, and they got behind it in a real way."
The place even looks like a good-ol' drive-in, with wall murals depicting drive-in scenes, steel light fixtures on poles—and even those crappy drive-in speakers.
Don't worry. The old drive-in speakers don't provide the main surround sound. That might be a horror show. But they do play an important role the creation of the drive-in ambiance. When the room system is activated via a touchpad at the entry, the old speakers play 1960s music from a DirecTV music channel. The music is routed through a second zone on the home theater's Marantz SR6004 audio/video receiver. "When another video source is selected through the Control4 interface, the drive-in speakers are turned off and the main 7.1-channel speaker system takes over," says Montjoy. And if the family really, truly wants that authentic drive-in sound, they can activate the drive-in speakers and mute the main system.
That's not even as bad as it sounds. The homeowners managed to find a set of the drive-in speakers, and Colorado Media Systems replaced the old paper-cone drivers in those units with Infinity car stereo speakers, which were a perfect fit, says Montjoy.
The real 7.1-channel system consists of NHT Four tower speakers and a 12-inch NHT subwoofer located behind an acoustically transparent front wall and screen. Four NHT IW4 in-wall speakers provide the side and back surround sound, and are hidden behind fabric walls that also contain acoustic absorption and reflection panels. Try that at a drive-in!
But the star of this drive-in, just as at a real one, is the really big screen. The homeowners wanted to have a truly cinematic experience, so the obvious choice was to go with a CinemaScope-wide 2.35:1 screen, the superwide aspect ratio in which many blockbuster movies are filmed. Of course, other aspect ratios like the more popular 1.85:1 and HDTV's 16:9 (1.78:1) are possible as well. "We chose to use a [Vutec] Vision X screen because of the availability of the drop-down masking panels [to change the aspect ratios] and the acoustically transparent screen material," says Montjoy.Facebook and Twitter.

These callers pretend to be offering consumers a chance to sign up for the registry that's supposed to keep companies from making sales calls to your line, Better Business Bureau Golden Gate Chief Operating Officer Lori Wilson said.
"The BBB has been made aware that scammers have been making phone calls posing as representatives of the National Do Not Call Registry," she said.
The calls claim to provide an opportunity to sign up for the registry and ask consumers to "verify" their personal information, she said.
"Of course, the callers are really trying to solicit personal information, which opens victims up to identity fraud," Wilson said.
"Someone calls you claiming to represent the National Do Not Call Registry, the FTC or Canada's National Do Not Call List," she said. "The ... "official" asks for personal information, such as name, address and Social Security number."
The scam has several variations, she said. In one, the caller wants to verify that you are on the National Do Not Call Registry. In another, he/she claims to give you a chance to register your phone number.
"Just hang up the phone; this situation is always a scam," Wilson said.
These scams often move west from the east coast, and may not have reached this area, yet, she said.
Northern California Computer Crimes Task Force spokesman Carl Chapman said that while he has not heard of this scam, such a thing would not surprise him.
"I suggest people not give out any personal information to anyone who contacts them by phone or over the Internet," Chapman said. "If they think it's a legitimate business they do business with, I suggest they hang up and recontact them at a number they know to be legitimate."
Vallejo Police Department Lt. Lee Horton expressed similar views.
"I have not heard of this particular scam yet, however, criminals never cease to amaze me with their creativity in coming up with new ways to scam citizens," he said. "The general rule of thumb is that you never give out any personal information to someone who calls you. For instance, your bank will never call you and ask for your account number. Likewise, your bank will never e-mail you to tell you there is a problem and or tell you that you need to enter your account number."
Contact staff writer Rachel Raskin-Zrihen at
(707) 553-6824 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @Rachelvth.
How to protect yourself from scam calls:
* Don't share your personal information if someone calls you claiming to represent the National Do Not Call Registry or even the FTC itself.
* Do not call the scammers back.
* Remember that your participation in the National Do Not Call Registry does not expire. Do not believe claims otherwise.
* If you want to add your number to the Do Not Call Registry, go to Donotcall.gov or call 888-382-1222 from the phone you wish to register. If you want to verify your number, use this feature on the registry's website.

2. Vanessa Bruno
On a miserable Thursday evening, the Parisian designer brightened up out day with an afternoon of macaroons, roses and pre-orders from the new SS13 collection. We managed to get a couple of minutes with the lady herself who is looking forward to the New Year and her expansion into the US. Her colour combinations of nude and tomato red were a highlight as well as the soft billowing nonchalant blouses.
Antique roses of course!
3. Shoes glorious shoes!
We love shooting season for the influx of fabulous samples arriving at Grazia HQ and a chance to try on the hottest new heels. On three shoots in one week, these were our faves. Manolo, Givenchy, Dior, oh my!

GM Report by Longtime Counsel a Mixed Bag for Auto Giant
In a 315-page investigative report submitted Thursday, Jenner & Block and King & Spalding—Am Law 100 firms closely tied to General Motors—detail a "pattern of incompetence and neglect" at the company, while absolving top executives at the auto giant of trying to cover up a mechanical flaw that has been linked to 13 deaths and sparked the recall of 2.6 million vehicles.

Flower and Lace Fold Back Card
By: Crafter's Companion
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This fold-back card is a thoughtful way to show someone you're thinking of them. With some lace, ribbon and beads you can create this work of art. Write a meaningful message inside, and your loved one will save this on their desk or dresser as a heartfelt decoration.
Step 1
Place one of the short edges of the card against the Top Score and score along the lines that read ½ fold US letter and Gatefold US letter. Fold the card in half on the central score line then fold the other line back on itself.
Step 2
Cut two pieces of vintage style paper to fit the front part and the inner part of the card. Before sticking them into place, colour all the edges using Tim Holtz walnut stain and Worn Lipstick inks, applied with some Cut'n'Dry foam.
Step 3
Place the front edge of the card against the scalloped edge on the Top Score and score this line all the way along. Cut the edge away with a pair of scissors. Stick some lace onto the back of this decorative edge using double sided tape. You will need to glue a strip of extra card over the top of the lace to hold it in place securely. Add a line of iridescent glitter glue along the edge as a finishing touch.
Step 4
Take a piece of cream coloured card and stamp the flower onto it using the green Stazon pad. Cut this into a square and colour the edges of the square using the walnut stain ink pad with a piece of Cut'n'Dry foam. Mat it onto a piece of gold card. Stamp the flower two more times onto the same type of card, using the Cherry Pink Stazon.
Step 5
Cut out one of the flowers in its entirety, apart from the leaves. Cut it out again leaving off a few of the outer petals.
Step 6
Decoupage these two pieces over the top of the main flower image to create a 3D design. Put some glue onto one half of the flower design and mat it onto the top of the card in a diamond shape.
Step 7
As a finishing touch, make a bow using Organza ribbon, lace and some string pearls. Stick this to the bottom of the diamond.

Imagine, if you will, the acoustical panels in a home theater.
You're probably picturing something red, maybe maroon, maybe even blue.
Maybe you're picturing that universally-used zigzaggy pattern somebody once decided was perfect for home theaters.
You're probably not picturing a tropical beach, the streets of Venice or your favorite movies' posters.
Cinemacoustic Solutions is looking to breathe new life in the acoustic treatment category with its Cinema Imagery Product line, which allows customers to choose an image to be embedded in their acoustic panels. (Click here to view 9 Awesome Acoustical Panels.)
They can pick their vacation photos, art prints or a gallery of Marlon Brando movie posters. The integrators pass the request along to Cinemacoustic, which ships the custom panels in three to five weeks.
Cinemacoustic isn't alone in terms of creating crafty panels. Auralex also has some creative solutions. But the concept of turning a photo into a panel in about a month seems new.
How it Works
Jupiter, Fla.-based Atlantic Smart Technologies (AST) has already provided home theater clients with the recently-launched Cinema Imagery Product panels. Some clients went the movie poster route, says vice president and director of A/V systems design Brian Grimo.
AST has also worked with professional athletes who wanted photos of their playing careers embedded in their panels.
The great thing, Grimo says, is the Cinema Imagery Product line allows AST to provide personalized décor while "maintaining the acoustical properties that are so often overlooked in regards to the overall performance of the theater."
The hand-crafted panels are available in 1- or 2-inch absorptive, reflective or diffusive models and are custom-made using wood frames stained in a variety of finishes. Being able to add a favorite movie scene, vacation photos or whatever clients want gives installs "limitless possibilities," says Cinemacoustic president Leeford Waite.
Converting those possibilities to images on clients' home theater walls is a pretty painless process, Grimo says. After determining what photos or movie posters his clients want, AST generally finds the high-resolution images online and sends either a .jpg or .tif to Cinemacoustic.
"[It] transfers the image digitally to a computer file and then transfers the image digitally to the panel," he says. "This way we know that the artwork has been purchased by the client and can return the poster to them when we are done."Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

This suit is extremely comfortable and fits well. I would definitely purchase again!
Purchased this suit for my sons winter ball, it fit fine, of course the pants had to be hemmed. He liked the slim fit, slim fit pants....same look seen in Macy's sale books .
Needed a suit for an upcoming event and quickly. This suit turn out to be the best possible solution as I travel all the time and don't necessary get to shop for clothes. Kenneth Cole quality is great...
A quality suit at a great price...great fit. Looks more expensive in person. Perfect gift for a recent college grad begining the job hunting/interview process.
This would have been a good purchase if it wasn't misadvertised. I am serving overseas, and waited 30 days for a suit that didn't fit. They should advertise this suit as slim fit like they do the other Kenneth Cole suits

Scientific and technological advancements have transformed our societies, but for them to benefit all mankind the societal preconditions of fairness, sustainability and sound global governance are required, said Professor Richard R. Ernst at the opening session of the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) on 21 May.
The link between new technologies and inclusive growth and development is neither simple, nor linear. UNCTAD's research has aimed at helping understand the relationship, said Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi.
At the 21-25 May session, ministerial and other participants, including a Nobel laureate, will seek new ways to harness science and technology to address development challenges, and review the progress made in the implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) outcomes.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Taste of the Wild Grain-Free Canned Cat Food:
Like other wet foods, our cat mostly licks the juice and leaves the bits. But that's our cat's modus operandi, and not an indicator of a problem with the food.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Picky cat hard to please
By Ann
from Chicago
My picky IBD kitty was happy to try this brand, and seems to be doing ok with it so far. I was worried about the texture, it is chunky with a little bit of sauce, and my cat usually only eats paté. But I just used a fork and mashed it up and he ate it right away. It seems to have quality ingredients. Though fruits & veggies should not really be in cat food, I don't see any chunks of them, so that's helpful. It's a grain free wet food so that's also a bonus.
My Cats loved this food!
By MJT
from New Hampshire
I feed this to my three cats as a supplement to their dry foods. They all go after this like it's their last meal on earth. Believe me they are all well fed so that is not the case. Their day is not complete without a portion of this canned food. I have tried other canned foods and right now this is the favorite.I would say give it a try, cats are individuals and they will let you know if this is one of their favorites!

Cat Hated This Food
By glassrabbit

Our 8 year old cat not only turned his nose up at this food, he howled at us! Like a two year old, "how dare you put such slop in my bowl!" definitely a no no on our food list.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

New York Jets cornerback Dmitri Patterson disputes the team's position regarding his absence from Friday's preseason game, during which the team said it could not reach the veteran and was unaware of his whereabouts.
"As it relates to my whereabouts and me missing for 48 hours without being seen or heard from me or my representative is completely false," Patterson said in a statement delivered to beat reporters via text message. "My agent reached out to the Jets organization multiple times several hours prior to Friday night's game. My commitment to the Jets organization and to my teammates has never been an issue and never will be an issue. As it relates to the rumors about my frustration in regards to the depth chart is totally and completely false. In nine years I have never had control over the depth chart."
General manager John Idzik said Friday the absence was unexcused and would be treated as such. On Sunday, head coach Rex Ryan announced Patterson was suspended for the preseason. He met with Patterson Sunday, and Ryan said Patterson could be reinstated Monday as the first week of regular-season preparation begins. That would assume Patterson survives the final cuts to a 53-man roster Saturday.
He was signed to a one-year, $3 million contract in the offseason but a slew of injuries -- including ankle and quadriceps strains -- kept him on the sideline for two weeks following a poor performance in the preseason opener. He was expected to play last week against the Giants before he was a no-show for the game.
Ryan said the team tried "every number, every way you can" to reach Patterson on Friday and the team was concerned about him. The question that stands is whether the team and management can trust Patterson.
"That's what we are going to try to decipher," Idzik said. "That's what you really want to get down to the bottom of it, when we say we are going to do what's best for the team. We always have the team in mind. We expect all of the members of our team (to) think that way. That's what we think is acting like a Jet. So that's what we will try to determine."
Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley told Newsday's Kimberley Martin that Patterson's actions sparked doubt in the locker room.
"It just kind of shows you that, for whatever reason, he doesn't care that much," Kerley said.

During interviews for this month's cover story, "Customer Service: 2020," leaders in the world of back-office information technology (IT) spoke with Fortnightly about customer service and...
Tipping Point
Industry giants start the EV revolution.
Cars such as the Volt can travel 40 miles on electric charge alone, then the gas-electric engine kicks in. But fully electric vehicles don't have a back up fuel source. If depleted far from home, EVs need either a speedy charge, or a new battery.
Outwardly at least, car companies and utilities both favor the former option. A 240-volt Level 2 charge takes about 3 hours, far too long to spend at a roadside station. But new direct-current fast-charge technology enables a dead battery to get an 80-percent charge in less than half an hour.
"We believe that DC fast charging is the solution," says Nissan's Perry. "We'll be demonstrating DC fast charging in six states beginning in December."
As impressive as such a fast charge might seem, however, pulling over for 30 minutes every 100 miles would make that trip to grandma's house a bit of an ordeal. Option B envisions pulling into a station where the spent battery is swapped for a fresh one in less time than it takes to pump a tank of gas. But that scenario raises a key question: who owns the battery?
Utilities certainly don't want to own them any more than they want to own a customer's refrigerator. And automakers resist the idea of battery swapping due to the warranty issues it might raise. But at least one company is betting big on the concept of third-party battery ownership.
Better Place's business model is a combination of infrastructure—remote charging and battery swap stations—and software that supports communication among car, driver and utility. It's a support service that ostensibly allows the EV to become more than just an urban runabout.
"Somewhere between 60 percent and 75 percent of all the energy that the average driver needs will probably be delivered at the home," says Hugh McDermott, vice president for utility alliances at Better Place. "Another 10 percent to 20 percent can be delivered at the place of work."
The swappable battery, he says, is the last piece of the puzzle.
"I'm in San Francisco," McDermott says. "I want to know I can get to Tahoe for the weekend and not get stranded, so locating battery swap stations along key transport corridors is going to be part of the eventual deployment."
Better Place has begun massive projects to bring its system to Israel and Denmark—both small, highly developed countries with strong state support for EVs. (Israel, in fact, is aiming for 100-percent EV adoption by 2020—about 2 million vehicles.) The company has projects announced for California and Hawaii, as well as Ontario, but McDermott admits the U.S. regulatory patchwork is a major problem.
"It's challenging for us to operate in the U.S.," he says. "There's no coherent national policy on energy."
Another problem is the system requires cooperation from automakers. Vehicles must be designed with batteries that are easily swapped from below. Nissan, through its alliance with Renault, has a relationship with Better Place in Israel and Denmark; Renault will deliver 100,000 battery-swappable EVs to Israel between 2011 and 2016. But at this point, Perry says

Natural Ways To Improve Eyesight and Vision
Putting on glasses can be a painful experience more so if they are not well sized. Imagine doing an activity and the glasses fell of or just bending to pick an item and they fall off! How would you feel? You may be asking yourself whether it is possible to improve your vision without putting on glasses. This article reviews the Vision without Glasses program to check if it a scam.
As claimed in Vision Without Glasses Review, this program is developed to help you improve your eyesight without using glasses. The program describes the natural methods you can use to bring back your 20/20 vision. It uses the concept of Dr. Bates who was a medical professional with vast knowledge on eye issues and health and fitness. The program uses a holistic natural method to cure your blurred vision.
The program teaches you natural methods to improve your 20/20 vision. Here, you will learn some of the methods like regular exercise and its importance, importance of relaxing eye muscles, how to avoid eye straining and the greatest of all is the diet. Moreover, you will learn that the recent use of various technological instruments like television and computers do more harm to our eyes than helping us. This program has detailed information on how these electronics cause blurred vision and ways of avoiding that. The knowledge is good and can be used to educate your young ones who are always glued to TV and computers.
With this program, you will also learn some causes of eye strain. Issues like bad posture, straining to read when your eyes are tired, how stress can lead to poor vision and poor diet. You will realize that some of the things we do daily contribute so much to eye damage without us realizing. For example, most people consume a lot of alcohol and they do or not have knowledge that overconsumption of alcohol causes poor eyesight.
You will also learn the importance of exercises in improving your eyesight. There is a lot of information described on exercises and the science behind its eyesight improvement is explained in simple terms. Moreover, some of the exercises illustrated are very simple to follow and include palming, reading special characters and focussing.
Included in the program is relaxation of eyes and how this can be achieved. You will learn the benefits of relaxing your eye muscles and how this can improve your eyesight. This section is very interesting and you will be amazed by some of the techniques described in the program. Most of them are simple things that we tend to ignore. Purchase this program and read for yourself.
The facts and myths concerning poor eyesight are also explained in this program. The author highlights and differentiate them to help know which ones are facts and the once that are facts. Further, the science behind these myths is explained explicitly in the simplest language you can easily understand.
The author further explains the reasons behind most eye glasses. He explains why most doctors often rush to prescribing drugs instead of diagnosing it first to determine the problem. One major thing I learnt is that most doctors are often bribed by lens manufacturing industry to boost sales. That is why whenever, you visit any eye doctor, and you will never get discharged without glass prescription. I highly recommend this product to anybody with an eye problem.

Section 13. Variation 10: Duel with the knight of the shining moon: Viel breiter
Section 14. Finale: The death of Don Quixote: Sehr ruhig
Strauss wrote the ending of Don Quixote (in his words: 'Don Q. cured from madness. Death and conclusion. Seized by trembling, death approaches, last swift battle, ends on pedal point') before he had composed some of the preceding variations. He told his wife Pauline that his 'Quixoticisms' had become 'a rather sticky business' and were causing him 'to heave many a sigh … though not as many as the critics will heave later when they have to listen to the piece'. He noted very precisely when he completed the whole work—11:42am, 29 December 1897. The first performance was given by the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne on 8 March 1898 conducted by Franz Wüllner. Strauss's choice of variation form was an inspired way of giving symphonic unity to the adventures of Quixote and his servant Sancho Panza. 'The battle of one theme against a nullity', was how Strauss described it, adding that he had 'taken variation form ad absurdum and showered tragi-comic persiflage upon it'. This is as may be; for inventiveness and aptness of orchestration, quality of melodic invention, and sheer poetic vision he was scarcely ever to surpass it. The work is also a kind of sinfonia concertante for cello, viola and orchestra. Strauss intended that the solo parts should be played by orchestral principals but, in the case of the cello part, international virtuosos soon took it into their repertoire. The cello (and cellos) represents Don Quixote and the viola Sancho Panza; nevertheless, the solo violin occasionally shares the cello's role and the tenor tuba and bass clarinet the viola's.
Introduction and Theme: Don Quixote is scored for a large orchestra including six horns, two tubas and wind machine. The long and elaborate Introduction depicts Don Quixote at home with his books on knight errantry. As he reads and becomes deranged—obsessed with his own ideas of chivalry—the harmonies become dissonant and chromatic. Three themes depict aspects of Quixote, the first (woodwind) is galant, the second (violins) courteous, the third (oboe) a romantic idealization of a woman, eventually to become Dulcinea of Toboso. The solo cello's entry represents Quixote as 'knight of the sorrowful countenance' (D minor) and we meet his talkative squire, Sancho Panza, with themes on bass clarinet and tuba and solo viola (F major). Quixote and Sancho ride off on their adventures with the Dulcinea theme floating above them on the strings like a pennant. In the following brief description of the Variations (their adventures), Strauss's titles for them are given.
Variation 1: 'The adventures of the windmills'. They encounter giants (in fact, windmills). Quixote attacks them and falls from his horse.
Variation 2: Strauss's full descriptive title is 'Battle with the mighty armies of Alifanfaron (The battle with the sheep)'. Three solo cellos in unison portray Quixote's determination to vanquish a king's armies. But the 'enemy' is really a flock of sheep. In this famous passage of flutter-tonguing woodwind and brass playing minor seconds, Strauss not only imitates the sheep but reminds us of Quixote's mental delusion. A shepherd plays a theme familiar from Ein Heldenleben.
Variation 3: 'Dialogue between knight and servant'. Sancho's demands, questions and proverbs, Don Quixote's instructions, appeasings and promises. That says it all. Quixote is here a solo violin, irritated by the viola's platitudes. The rest of the variation is a marvellous rhapsody in F sharp major on the Dulcinea theme—Strauss at his most passionately romantic.
Variation 4: 'Unfortunate adventure with a procession of penitents'. Thinking that penitents carrying an image of the Virgin Mary are abducting a maiden, Quixote attacks them and is knocked unconscious. Sancho mourns him so loudly he recovers, whereupon Sancho falls asleep and snores.
Variation 5: 'Don Quixote's vigil: unbosoming to the beloved Dulcinea'. Quixote, keeping vigil over his armour, meditates about chivalry. Mainly for solo cello, orchestral cellos and harp. A magical variation.
Variation 6: 'Dulcinea's enchantment'. Meeting with a peasant girl (bucolic oboe theme in thirds), who Sancho tells his master is Dulcinea under an enchanter's spell. Quixote and Sancho mistake three peasant girls on donkeys for Dulcinea and her ladies-in-waiting. Quixote's elaborate courtesy scares the girl away.
Variation 7: 'Ride through the air'. Quixote sits blindfolded on a toy horse under the delusion that he is riding to a damsel's rescue on a flying horse. The flight is illustrated by a fragmented version of Quixote's galant theme accompanied by wind-machine, harp glissandi and flutter-tonguing flutes. But a sustained pedal D tells us that he is really on the ground.
Variation 8: 'Ill-starred voyage on the enchanted boat (Barcarolle)'. The two travellers find a boat by a river and sail on an unspecified adventure. But they sink in a weir and are rescued. The water drips off them pizzicato and they offer a prayer of thanks.
Variation 9. 'Battle against the supposed enchanters, two little priests on their mules'. An animated Quixote hears two little priests (unaccompanied bassoons). He thinks they are kidnappers, shadows them (pizzicato low strings) and drives them away.
Variation 10: 'Duel with the knight of the shining moon'. Don Quixote is knocked to the ground, decides to give up fighting, contemplates being a shepherd, and goes home. As in Ein Heldenleben, here is a Strauss battle-scene, cello versus woodwind and brass. The duel has been arranged by a kindly neighbour of Quixote in the hope, which is fulfilled, of restoring him to his senses. After one failure, the trick succeeds. Defeated, Quixote returns home to emphatic strokes from timpani. The pastoral theme from Variation 2 returns and Quixote's delusions disappear as the cloudy harmonies dissolve into a succession of dominant chords.
Finale: 'The death of Don Quixote'. Once more in his right mind, he passes his last days in contemplation. Quixote's galant theme now becomes a touching, tender melody. Memories of the past return in a long cello threnody, ending with a slither into eternity. Quixote's second theme gently lowers the final curtain.

Young Scientists Birthday Parties
Why not try something different this birthday - book a Young Scientist to entertain and amaze at your next birthday party!
We invented science parties over 10 years ago. We are the original and still the best. With Young Scientists, we dont just do bicarb and vinegar, or cornflour and big bubbles. Our experiments are the ones kids are talking about, and they get to take their creations home! Why just serve ice cream when we can come and make it right there for you.
Activities are enjoyed by girls and boys and are chosen as appropriate to the age group and venue. Activities are chosen from:
- Make and take home a container of gooey slime
- Make and take home a polymer super bounce ball
- Use liquid nitrogen to make instant ice cream (tasting involved!)
- Use air pressure to launch water rockets high into the sky
- Make their own instant snow to take home
- Make sherbet and experience a chemical reaction right inside their mouth
- Create giant bubbles, using our special bubble wands and secret bubble mix
- Pour and cast their own take home fossils
- Make and take home their own tornado tube
The presentation runs for 90 minutes and costs $400 for up to 20 children. Extra children (to a maximum of 30 children) incur a $20 surcharge per child. To participate, children must be aged 6 and over.
For the presentation, we require:
- a car space for our vehicle (outside your home on the street is fine)
- a large open space for example a backyard, hall or park
- provision can be made for inside locations, but some activities are only possible in outside areas

Exceeded our high expectationsBy Cath on 11/08/2014 10:21:20 PM
What a fantastic party thanks to Darren! The kids were entertained and enthralled throughout and best of all my daughter now wants to be a scientist, which in my eyes is a great step up from her previous ambitions. For the kids to see and understand the many different forms that science can take and affect our lives - all within a PARTY can't be undervalued!
A Very Memorable Party ...By lisa.hastie on 15/04/2014 9:51:14 PM

09/30/2014 - Television, smart phones, I pads and more offer continual opportunity for entertainment, information, and distraction. This excess screen time in teens has been linked to some health and behavior issues and researchers from California found that screen time may also impact social skills.
08/28/2014 - Although once villainized, nuts have found popularity as a health food because of their healthy fats, fiber, and protein. This study found that having nuts in your diet may also decrease the risk of common chronic conditions.

KU offers high-tech laboratories, interactive classrooms, and several performance venues and athletic arenas. The university's illustrious alumni include the inventor of basketball, Pulitzer Prize winners, astronauts, governors, artists, and a Nobel Prize winner.

text: A great little Brazilian group from the 70s – one who continues the harmony styles of Sergio Mendes in the 60s, but takes the music into some groovy new directions! The sounds here are more samba than bossa – with guitar and percussion dancing nicely together in the rhythms as group members sing sweetly over the top – and both piano and keyboards adding in some nicely jazzy inflections to the groove, often with the more sophisticated phrasings you might expect in some of the EMI/Odeon work from earlier in the decade. Sivuca joins the group on both accordion and moog (!) – and the whole thing's got a sweetly-grooving style that's totally great! Titles include "Estatutos De Gafiera", "Loteca", "Amor Em Jacuma", " Iboru Iboya", "Beijo Baiano", "O Trem Atrazou", "Asa Branca", and "Fogo Pago". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

(Santiago, Easter Island)
Easter's Island's distinctive ancient rock statues – called Moai – rise from the earth to salute time immemorial as you stroll among their long shadows on the slopes of an extinct volcano.
Here at Rano Rara, 397 of the imposing statues stand or lay where they fell in timeless testament to the ancient civilization that created them. You are free to explore this maze of monolithic stone on your hike up the slope towards the stunning crater lake at the volcano's peak, and take a moment to ponder this time-locked land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Elsewhere on the island, visit the ceremonial village of Orongo – birthplace of the birdman competition; view the ancient paintings that adorn the walls of Ana Kai Tangata cave; and dip your toes in the Pacific Ocean at beautiful Anakena beach. You'll also experience mainland Santiago, where you'll explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Valparaiso; relax in the pretty coastal town of Vina del Mar; and visit the home of Nobel laureate, Pablo Neruda.
Easter Island is renowned as the farthest island from any populated land on the planet, and its remote location has protected it from the influences of the modern world more than perhaps anywhere else on earth. Your team of private guides will expertly bring the island's ancient history and rich eco-system to life as they lead you into sacred spots of jaw-dropping beauty. You'll also enjoy a restful experience and warm hospitality at a premium beach-side island hotel, and in comfortable centrally-located accommodations on the mainland.

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

"We just returned last night from our Patagonia adventure and we had the time of our lives! Everything turned out perfectly. Guides were fun, on time and informative. The excursions were great for an active family and, of course, amazing. I thought after the glacier trek it can't get any better - but it kept surprising me and amazing me. My personal favorite was the horseback riding. I thought afterwards after everything we have seen the bike tour would have to be a let down - NOPE - it also was so exciting and our guide was a hoot! Meals were amazing and after so many active excursions no guilt in pigging out. I am so happy we took a little risk and went out of the way with our vacation this year. We will have this with us for a life time.

"GREAT trip! We were very pleased with every aspect that Brandi set up for us including the tour of Quito and environs. Our guide spoke excellent English, the driver was courteous and we felt safe and well-informed throughout the day. We're still going through the 500+ photos that I took and the 1700+ photos that my son took. Galapagos was a fabulous trip and the Eclipse was a terrific way to navigate the islands.

"Dear Sofia
I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru.
In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience.
Special thanks to:
-The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for
-The people that looked after us in Lima
-Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day.
-The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care.
-Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides.
