What wine with Christmas dinner?
- canadiangirl_in_Paris Dec 21, 2010 02:14 AM
A little help, please!
I'm making Christmas dinner here in France and rather than ask my French DH to pick out the wine, or ask him what I should pick up, I'd like to cover the details of the meal from start to finish myself. OK, myself, with a little assistance from my fellow Chowhounds.
Here's the menu:
hors d'oevres of caviar and crème fraîche on blinis
A starter of lobster thermidor
The main is capon stuffed with mushrooms and truffles, roasted potatoes and glazed carrots
cheese plate and salad
Christmas pudding with rum butter
Apart from Champagne or a Crément to start with the hors d'oevres, what to drink for the rest of the meal? We'll only be two adults, so a different bottle for each course may be a bit much. Can I spread the Champagne over into the lobster starter? What would you recommend with capon and truffles that could also make it over to the cheese course? As for dessert, I think a nice decaf will do.
Thanks in advance!
hors d'oeuvre & starter : Champagne.
Capon : Bandol.
Cheese : IMO, skip it, but it depends on the cheeses, try to get a cheese from the same region that the wine come from. , but the killer is the salad especially if the dressing is acidic.
Christmas pudding : Champagne; or maybe, I can see that it could work : a sweet Oloroso (Xeres); with the nutty flavors, and it could be not too sweet.
I'm a glutton most of the time and at Christmas there is no restraint, so I would say Champagne throughout, with a port for the cheeses and pudding.
Cru Beaujolais or Burgundy for the capon.
The 2009 Lapierre Morgon is still in its baby fat stage and drinkable.
I would recommend something from burgundy and I would bet you could get a great white burgundy that would go fabulous with the lobster and hold up well to the capon as well. It sounds like a fabulous meal.
I would drink the Champagne through the lobster course, then switch to a nice Beaujolais for the capon and salad.
Yes, the Champagne/Cremant will be delightful with the lobster, as well.
For the capon, you could go several ways. Depends upon how much of a splurge you feel like making Euro-wise. My first reaction to your flavor combination was: Meursault Les Genevrieres. On the other hand, "mushrooms and truffles" fairly scream for Bourgogne Rouge. A Savigny les Beaunes Les Serpentieres would be divine with the Capon as well.
Cheese plate? finish the "Capon wine." and have a Cognac after the Christmas pudding. Joyeux Noel!
re: ChefJune
I do agree that a Champagne could bridge the first two courses, but with the thermidor treatment, I am just drawn to a bigger Chard - guess that is personal tastes.
Mushrooms whisper "Pinot Noir" to me, but can see many substitutions there.
From my palate:
hors d'oevres - bubbles, i.e Champagne
lobster - Montrachet, or if a "squeeze of lemon" is required a Meursault
capon w/ mushrooms - Pinot Noir and from Burgundy, second choice would be a Cru BJ, like a Morgon
cheese plate - here, I am a big fan of a full-bodied white, like the Montrachet from above, but much will depend on the choice of cheese. In very general terms here, I like older Bdx, or Barolo with harder cheeses, and try to accommodate both a silky white and an older red, with my cheeses. It can be tough to get diners to either save some white, or go back to it, once the reds come out.
Not sure what the Christmas Pudding is all about. The rum butter might be a problem, as I cannot get my head around a wine to accompany it. In general terms, I'd be thinking about a TBA Reisling, or similar.
Enjoy, and happy holidays,
[Edit] I did not peek, until after I posted. Seems that there might be some agreement on a few of the dishes.
re: tim irvine
The French drink port before, not after dinner. Cognac, Armagnac, or
fruit alcohols (Mirabelle, Poire Williams, etc..) after dinner.
A little late in posting my thanks, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciated all of your helpful suggestions and comments. In the end I did serve a Champagne with both the hors d'oevres and the lobster, then we moved on to a Médoc Cru Bourgeois (Château Tour Blanche 2005) that I thought was was rather good, though I my husband was less enthusiastic. We carried it over to the cheese course but ended up only having a few crumbly bits each since the pudding was looming on the buffet behind us! Finally a little Armagnac by the light of the Christmas tree. A perfect holiday meal. Thanks again!

Raven Industries Inc.
) reported third-quarter fiscal 2014 (ended Oct 31, 2013)
earnings of 34 cents per share, up 13% year over year. The
earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 30 cents.
Operational Update
Sales increased 8% year over year to $105 million, beating the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of $101 million. The growth was driven
by improved revenues in the Engineered Films and Applied
Technology segment, partly offset by decreased revenues in the
Aerostar segment due to U.S. government disruptions.
Cost of sales rose 8% year over year to $73 million. Gross profit
increased 8% to $31.9 million from $29.5 million in the year-ago
quarter. However, gross margin remained flat at 30.4% from the
year-ago quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses edged up 1.5% year
over year to $9.85 million. Operating income grew 10.7% year over
year to $18 million with operating margin expanding 50 basis
points (bps) to 17.3%.
Segment Performance
Applied Technology:
Sales for the segment went up 11% year over year to $43.8 million
led by rise in after-market demand for precision agriculture
products. Operating income also rose 23% to $15 million from $12
million in the prior-year quarter.
Engineered Films:
The segment reported sales of $40 million, improving 21% year
over year. Barrier films for agriculture led the strong growth,
specifically sales of fumigation and silage films. Besides, the
addition of new extrusion capacity earlier in the year was a key
factor to meet demand for high-tech films. Operating income hiked
11% year over year to $5.2 million.
Sales declined 8% year over year to $24 million due to reduced
contract manufacturing demand, partially offset by strong sales
in Vista Research and lighter-than-air products. Segment
operating income fell 29% year over year to $2.7 million.
Financial Position
Raven Industries ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents
of $48.6 million compared with $48 million at the end of the
year-ago comparable period. Cash flow from operating activities
for the nine-month period ended Oct 31, 2013 was $37 million
against $58 million in the prior-year comparable period.
Our Take
Raven will benefit from investments in technology, capacity and
market expansions. Raven's commitment to innovation, service and
quality will drive growth. In addition, its acquisition of Vista
Research will aid sales of the Aerostar segment, primarily driven
by deliveries under existing contracts for Vista's Smart Sensing
Radar Systems.
Raven's Applied Technology division will grow with robust
original equipment manufacturer demand, new product launches and
international expansion. In the past four months, the segment
introduced Viper 4, SmarTrax MD and Multi-Hybrid OmniRow.
Going forward, Raven will benefit from Google's new project for
balloon-powered Internet access, Project Loon. The project will
use Raven's Aerostar-designed and developed high-tech balloons.
While the program is still in its early stages, a successful
trial took place in June involving 30 balloons providing Internet
connectivity to an area covering nearly 10,000 square kilometers.
Raven anticipates modest revenues from the project in the
remainder of fiscal 2014, with further expectations of
significant revenue growth in the first half of fiscal 2015.
The Aerostar segment will continue to face risks from government
and sluggish demand. Raven is working to compensate government
uncertainty by expanding proprietary technology revenues
including advanced radar systems, high-altitude research balloons
and aerostats to international markets.
South Dakota-based Raven, is an industrial manufacturer offering
a variety of products for the agricultural, industrial,
construction and aerospace markets. Raven operates through four
business segments, namely Engineered Films, Electronic Systems,
Applied Technology and Aerostar.
Raven currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Among other
stocks in the same industry,
Hutchison Whampoa Limited
) and
ITT Corporation
) are favorably placed with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Another one of Raven's peers-
3M Company
) - reported third-quarter 2013 net income of $1,230 million or
$1.78 per share compared with $1,161 million or $1.65 a share in
the year-earlier quarter, driven by higher sales across its
businesses. The reported earnings beat the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of $1.76.

THE PHILIPPINES AT THE PACIFIC FESTIVAL (Philippines Free Press, October 17, 1959)
Click on images to enlarge
by Dalisay Bocobo-Balunsat
San Francisco, California
Philippines Free Press, October 17, 1959
THE second Pacific Festival was celebrated in San Francisco, California, from September 18 to 27. Even Mother Nature was in a festive mood, for there was plenty of sunshine during the festivities. There were fireworks from Japan, pageants from the different Pacific countries, a gigantic parade with TV and Hollywood movie stars, and open-air art festival, a travel show at Brooks Hall, nightly dances, a Book-and-Author luncheon with Vincent Price, William Lederer and General Wedemeyer as speakers, an open house tendered by the International Airport, and the First Fleet, and displays at the big department stores and at the public library and its branches.
"The Philippines was most cooperative," Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco told this writer. "And as mayor of this city, I am thanking the Filipino people in behalf of San Francisco residents."
Philippine participation consisted of a colorful pageant (directed by Philippine Travel and Information Office manager Cita Trinidad) on September 24, which was Philippine Day; Philippine dances during the nightly variety shows at Brooks Hall Auditorium; an impressive Philippine Booth and a large display of Philippine products at the Brooks Hall Travel and Trade Show; and a dinner given jointly by the Philippine Travel and Information Office and the Caballeros de Dimasalang at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in honor of Susan Roces, our Miss Philippines.
The Philippines was also featured by big downtown department stores. Macy's sponsored a one-man exhibit of Philippine paintings done on velvet by Felix Gonzales. At Macy's, too, was a breath-taking window display of Philippine white butterfly orchids created by Podesta Baldocchi, America's best florist. Gumps, a famed interior-decoration shop, featured abaca coasters and Philippine linen napkins; and Livingston's exhibited a four-paneled room divider made of Philippine mahogany (narra) and Capiz shells.
The Philippine Day show was considered the best of the national presentations, for it was "impressive without being pompous" and "colorful without being gaudy."
The beautiful 18-year-old movie star Susan Roces was crowned "Miss Philippines" at Union Square by the First Lady of San Francisco, Mrs. George Christopher. Susan wore an all-white, figure-hugging sheath terno encrusted with mother-of-pearl. her crown was Elizabethan in style, made of rhinestones. Her principal consort was Jimmy Hampton, Jr., and she was surrounded by six other escorts: Bobby, Scotty and George Ross, Eddie Crame, Ray Pedro and Raymond Triplitt. Little Tony Hampton was the crown bearer. This was the second time Susan represented the Philippines at the festival (she was also last year's Miss Philippines). This time, though, Susan had a steady date. He was Dr. Jesus Sonora, her father, who came all the way from Cincinnati's St. Francis Hospital to see his celebrity-daughter, whom he had not seen for quite a spell. A proud escort indeed was he. At the Dimasalang dinner in her honor, Susan made a nice speech in Tagalog, as well as during the Philippine Day program at Union Square. "The Philippine fiesta was highlighted by a captivating fashion show of stylish contemporary ternos, balintawaks and Mari Claras modeled by beautious Pinays led by Mrs. John Samit (Rosa del Rosario, former Philippine movie queen), who was making her first public appearance since she married and settled down in San Francisco to make a home for her husband and daughter. She looked as glamorous as ever, in a tight-fitting red-colored mestiza dress studded with shiny shells and black embroidery made by Carolina's of Manila.
The versatility of Philippine fabrics was displayed by three Fil-American models, a hand-embroidered pina dress (American-cut) worn by Victoria Miller of Batangas; embroidered ramie blouse with a straight skirt worn by Rubi Fegley of San Juan, Rizal, and a cocktail sheath in velvet with Maria Clara sleeves (designed by the model herself) worn by Francia Amechazurra-Christie of Capiz. Other outstanding models were Tessie Francisco-Hampton, who modeled a Flamingo-influenced jusi terno; Caridad Concepcion-Vallangca, who wore a sophisticated black gown created by her designer-brother, Andy Concepcion; Lorraine Stagner-Sullivan (youngest sister of Rosa del Rosario) who modeled a cocktail balintawak; Fe Hill of Baguio, who showed a dazzling blue party terno; and Elizabeth Lorenzana, a Stanford student, who presented a short blue saya.
Popular Booth
The 13th Annual San Francisco Art Festival was held at the Civic Center Park. Among the art works was a Philippine painting called "Rice Stacks," depicting a Filipino farmer with his carabao in the fields. People paid a dollar each to see the booths of Pacific countries like the Philippines, Korea, Japan and India. Exotic food was served at the Pacific Rendezvous. The Philippine booth, in a color scheme of black and orange, with bamboo furniture, Philippine decor and color slide,s was adjudged the most attractive national booth for it "was artistic in its simplicity."
We felt elated when visitors crowded the Philippine Industries Section (managed by Commercial Attache' Jose de los Reyes) to see the Philippine products. It is no exaggeration to say that our unique Philippine handicrafts stole the show! And they sold like hotcakes! The best-sellers were Philippine dolls, hand-made handbags, abaca slippers, Osmena pearls,
hats, shell brooches, coconut knick-knacks, and Igorot wood carvings -- at $20 each!
During the grand ball that climaxed the festival, Susan Roces had a long stagline, but she danced mostly with her father. Her participation in the celebration was filmed lby a newsreel camera man (Amaury Agra) sent by Sampaguita Pictures. Susn whispered to us that night that she would sneak out and "see the sights" of this magic city with her father. "I never really had a chance to see San Francisco during my first visit here last year," she said. "That will be the first thing I'll do when this is all over. Relax and look around. But I am happy to be here! I hope that, in representing the Philippines, I have fulfilled my wish. And my wish is that every Filipino here in America will never forget the Mother Country."

THE "PEARL" OF THE PACIFIC FESTIVAL (Philippines Free Press, October 11, 1958)

San Francisco, California
Phililippines Free Press,
October 11, 1958
The Philippines In General And Movie
Star Susan Roces In Particular Shone At
San Francisco's Pacific Festival.
GATEWAY to the East, San Francisco, where West meets East, fittingly celebrated an international fiesta -- the Pacific Festival -- in honor of the countries of the Pacific Ocean. In behalf of the residents of this great, friendly metropolis, Mayor George Christopher extended welcome greetings to representatives of such countries as the Philippines, Japan, China, Hawaii, Mexico, the Latin-American group, the Pan-American countries, and others. He opened the 10-day affair (September 12 to 21) at the City Hall, where he called for the formation of a Pacific Union, similar to that of the Pan-American Union: "The many diverse nations surrounding our ocean have found a way to live together successfully in peace and commerce. One way to make our influence felt in world affairs would be to create a Pacific Union. . . What better place to initiate a Pacific Union than here in San Francisco -- the West's great center of international Pacific activity for more than 100 years and the birthplace of the United Nations?"
To brighten up the festival, Pan American World Airways flew in six Oriental beauties, including our own Susan Roces, that sparkling pretty young star of Sampaguita Pictures. With Miss Roces reigning as Miss Philippines and with a lavish show of Philippine dances, music, and costumes, presented by Filipino residents here, the Philippines easily became the "Pearl" of the Pacific Festival.
The other foreign beauties who arrived with Susan were: Mitsuyo Hosaka, a leading fashion model of Tokyo; Ting Ning, a dainty cinemactress from Hong Kong; Zaiton, dark-eyed movie star of Singapore; Julie Wu, a shapely film star from Formosa (Nationalist China); and Kokeo Na Chiengmai, a vivacious office girl from Bangkok. Seventeen-year-old Susan Roces was the youngest among them and therefore they "babied" her. Once, their manager, Bob Dickson, jokingly said to her: "We ought not to take you with us when we go night-clubbing. Susan, we ought to leave you at a lollipop stand!"
Cita Trinidad, Philippine Travel land Information Office manager, was appointed official chaperon of the girls; they were all registered at the Canterbury Hotel. From the time of their arrival to their departure, the Oriental ambassadors-of-goodwill were kept busy by a round of fashion shows, festivities, meetings, programs, dances, television interviews, sight-seeing and shopping sprees.
Susan told us: "It seems I am in Dreamland! I have been enjoying every minute of it." In representing our country, I have been proudly modeling the eight beautiful ternos (created by top Philippine designers Valera and Moreno) that I have brought along with me."
On the first day of the festival, there was a fashion show held at Union Square (a plaza displaying a monument in honor of Commodore Dewey, who captured Manila Bay), which was sponsored by big department stores like Macy's, Emporium and H. Liebes. Among the Pacific lovelies and comely American professional fashion models, our Susan stood out, and she enchanted the crowd as she gracefully modeled a breath-taking terno. For this, she was played up very prominently in the San Francisco dailies.
On Youth Day, youngsters from the Pacific were invited to perform at the Pacific Festival program of the Ted Randal Show. We were appointed coach and chaperon of the young participants representing the island republic. "Tinikling" dancers Carmencita Valdehueza (her father is a retired Philippine Scout) and Adilon Galan and bamboo players Edgardo Valdehueza and Norma Agpasan thrilled thousands of American TV viewers with their adept and cute performance of the Bamboo Dance.
On Philippine Day, there was a Philippine Show presented at Union Square on an open-air platform. The program was under the auspices of the Philippine Travel and Information Office, with the participation of the Filipino communities and Filipino students of the Bay Area. A variety of Philippine folk dances formed the first part of the program. Mrs. Cora Delfino-Beloy, a sister of Manila orchestra leader Clod Delfino, and her American-born Filipino husband, Santos Beloy, danced a picturesque Sampaguita Waltz. Other dances were "Pandanggo sa Ilaw," "Planting Rice," and "Abaruray." Two sets of "Tinikling" dancers danced simultaneously, to a loud ovation from the audience. The second part consisted of a pageant of Philippine regional costumes, with 35 ladies doing the modeling. The show was climaxed by the dramatic entrance of Susan Roces, who reigned as Queen of the Day.
At the Grand Ball at the City Ball Rotunda on September 19 (which was attended by foreign ambassadors and consuls, by high government officials, by princes, princesses and lords and ladies, and by other social and civic leaders of the West led by Mayor George Christopher, Hawaii Governor William and Alaska Gov. Mike Stepovich), Susan impressed the guests when she was presented as Miss Philippines, surrounded by her court: Miss Luzon (Teresa Francisco-Hampton); Miss Visayas (Pacita Boncan); and Miss Mindanao (Caridad Concepcion-Vallangca).
Through all these hectic, exciting activities, Susan Roces always remained as fresh-looking and lovely as when she first arrived. As an ambassador-of-goodwill, she was game. In the words of an American-born Filipino admirer: "She is the most!"
After playing her role in the Pacific Festival, Susan Roces, at the time of this writing, was on her way to Hollywood . . . not for a screen test but "to relax, to go star-gazing and to see my favorite star, Tony Perkins."

SUSAN ROCES: FASTEST RISING STAR (Philippines Free Press, September 20, 1958)
Click on images to enlarge
by Jose A. Quirino
Philippines Free Press, September 20, 1958
Sweet And Lovely Susan Roces Has Encountered Easy Sailing So Far Despite Charges That She Lacks Dramatic Intensity. Fans Adore Her And Give Her All Sorts Of Presents. Her Pictures are Box Office Hits. Her Admirers Predict A Long Career For Her As A Star.
A LITTLE over two years ago, 14-year-old Jesusa Sonora, newly graduated from Bacolod City's La Consolacion high school, ran about the Sampaguita Pictures studio in hoydennish abandon with autograph album in hand, looking for her favorite movie stars. The autograph hound was so thrilled and excited that her chaperone, a spinster aunt, had to remind her about her upbringing as a lady, Jesusa continued giggling and hopping about but this time in a most ladylike manner. Attired in her school uniform complete with socks and flat shoes and devoid of makeup, with her long hair braided in pigtails, she looked like a chubby Japanese doll what with her eyes disappearing into thin slits in her moonface every time she laughed, her peaches-and-cream complexion, and her double chin. When she moved around, she gave the impression of waddling instead of walking. A studio hand casually remarked that she looked like a
"queso de bola."
All this while, however, Dr. Jose Perez, Sampaguita executive, was observing the "ball of cheese." He immediately toddied to her.
"She had a brusque look that impressed me and somehow her face, which gave her an aura of innocence, stood out in the crowd," Perez now says. "It was not difficult for me to convince her to enter the movies because, it turned out, her one obsession was to become an actress."
Launched in the movies as "the face that refreshes," Jesusa underwent a compete metamorphosis. The plain and gawky kid with the duck walk who, before her "discovery," lived a sheltered life, became a glamorous celebrity almost overnight. Even her name was changed -- to Susan Roces -- after somebody observed that she reminds people of "moonlight and roses."
Today, 17-year-old Susan Roces is the fastest rising star among the teenage sensations produced by local moviedom's frenzied search for new talents and fresh personalities despite the fact that she possesses only fair-to-middling dramatic prowess. The truth of the matter is that Susan is a genuine phenomenon. She started breathing the rarefied air of stardom in her first year in the movies when she was barely 15. After less than three years and only 10 pictures, she is now earning P5,000 per film. What's more, her financial chart is still going up at the rate of P500 per movie. A fashion plate, she is very much sought after to model the latest designs in exclusive fashion shows. She also earns a pretty penny for her two regular radio programs and for guesting in several others. Not bad for a youngster who admittedly is no great shakes in heavy drama.
Only recently, Dame Fortune again smiled on Susan when she was chosen by Pan-American Airways to represent the Philippines in the Pacific Festival at San Francisco, USA, which opened last September 12 and which will close on the 21st. Outstanding beauties from 36 countries are participating in the festival. On the bases of beauty, intelligence, charm, personality and speech, Susan was the unanimous choice from among six local lovelies, including three movie stars, by a three-man board of judges headed by Tourism Commissioner Modesto Farolan.
Modern Cinderella
"Everything wonderful is happening so fast. I can't distinguish the real from the make-believe," she gushed during an interview with this writer shortly before she left for the States last September 9 to take part in the festival. Dreaminess lowered itself like a gossamer curtain over her pretty face. "So far, my life has been a bed of roses and I'm afraid the spell will be broken."
"Indeed, this modern Cinderella has been having quite a ball, a sort of a kind-hearts-and-coronets affair lately. Everything so far has come easy to her, served on the proverbial silver platter. "Fate," theorized a studio philosopher, "has not yet placed life's banana peels on her path."
Even in her films, she portrays breezy rags-to-riches roles lwhere she has her pie and eats it too. All her pictures have extemely happy endings. In her sixth vehicle -- "Prinsesa Gusgusin" -- she depicted a Cinderella who traded her rags and ashes for queenly robes and a kingdom.
One reason why she lacks dramatic intensity in her screen portrayals is that she has no sad and really memorable experiences to draw from.
"Susan can't act herself out of a paper bag but she's got it made because she is everybody's concept of an ideal sweetheart," one of her more vocal critics, a director from a rival company, attempted to explain the phenomenon. "She has what is known as universal appeal. Fans regard her as the girl next door. Her fellow teenagers see in her the early realization of their dreams, while old fogeys recapture their lost youthful moments through her. She is the type that captivates both the country bumpkin and the city slicker."
The megman was of course over-simplifying the case for and against Jesusa Sonora alias Susan Roces. In the first place, she's not such a bum actress she needs dialogue to depict every emotion. She has been, for instance, successful in light comedy and Gentle Bertha characterizations. Furthermore, it is more than coincidence that all her films lhave made good at the box office. In fact, three of her pictures this year -- "Mga Reyna Ng Vicks," "Tawag Ng Tanghalan," and "Madaling Araw" -- are a cinch to land among the top 10 moneymakers for 1958.
What then are the reasons that Susan clicks with movie aficionados, why fans mob her wherever she goes, and why admirers -- both male and female -- give her all sorts of presents from
and fruits to rings and bracelets?
Her success can be attributed to several factors -- her good breeding, a thorough overhauling job and well-planned buildup, her deep understanding and kind regard for her many fans, and her fierce competitiveness. Then, too, she is liberally endowed with natural charm and delicate beauty while her 115 pounds are tastefully arranged on a five-foot-five-inch frame (she's still growing) with a configuration best described statistically: 34-23-34.
Although susan is part and parcel of the new crop of celluloid luminaries, she does not go for periods of highly-publicized nonsense which allegedly produces off-beat and colorful copy for the
avant garde
crowd. Producers, directors, fellow troupers and plain studio hands, are all praise for Susan as far as behavior on and off the set is concerned. To hear them talk you'd think she was just an angel in disguise. No rebellious or mixed-up kid, she is dependable, responsible and completely devoid of temperamental outbursts or the prima donna complex. She reports promptly for work or social engagements. "What's more important, she checks in already made up and ready with her lines," Dr. Perez, who admits he has yet to congratulate Susan on a screen performance, declared. "If virtue were only photogenic," a scriptwriter chimed in, "Susan would make the most enchanting thespian."
No wonder a writer for a movie magazine assigned to do a story on her wailed plaintively: "There is no angle in the cut-and-dried Susan Roces story."
If Susan is a perfect lady on and off the screen it is because she has been brought up that way. Her father, Dr. Jose Sonora, now a resident physician in a hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, belongs to the deeply religious and conservative Tongoy-Sonora clan of Bacolod City.
"Daddy is so old-fashioned we had a hard time convincing him about Baby Darling's" -- that's how Susan is called at home -- "career as an actress," Bennett Sonora, Susan's elder sister, most rabid critic and secretary, disclosed. "It's good he was already in America when Baby was sought by studio authorities; otherwise he would never have consented. He wanted Baby to take up law because of her penchant for turning trivial matters into international affairs."
Susan's mother, Purificacion Levy, a French mestiza and niece of the owners of Estrella del Norte, told us: "Baby has old maid aunts on both sides of the fence who, I'm sure, are against her becoming an actress. She has a 75-year-old spinster grandaunt who never tires of telling us about the old Victorian concept of bringing up children." She smiled as though savoring an untold joke, then: "We have reared our five children the best we know how. That's why I permitted Baby to go unchaperoned to the States, because I trust her."
Bennett took over the thread of conversation: "I believe Susan was miscast in 'Boksingera' where she portrayed the title role because she is not cut out for tomboy roles. She is the fragile and clinging-vine type. That's why I liked her acting in 'Sino Ang May Sala' where she portrayed the sweetheart of a juvenile delinquent (Romeo Vasquez) and helped him turn over a new leaf.
"But make no mistake about it," Bennett continued, "Baby has domineering qualities which she inherited from Daddy. There are times when she tries to dominate me, especially regarding the disciplining of our two younger sisters and brother. That's her defect -- she tries so hard to act like a mother to the family."
Fans' Delight
We interviewed members of the Sonora family at their apartment a stone's throw away from Sampaguita studio. Even nine-year-old Rosemarie, who makes her screen debut in "Ulilang Anghel" and who, the rushes indicate, is a better dramatic actress than Susan, had something to say about her famous sister. "Ate is forever lecturing us on good manners and right conduct," she said in the vernacular.
We observed that over 50 young fans had gathered outside the Sonora residence. They called out Susan's name. She stepped out to sign autographs. The fans, all girls, practically mobbed her. We noticed one or two fans pinching Susan on the arms while another gave her a bear hug. It seemed she enjoyed the whole affair as much as the fans.
"Does this happen all the time?" we asked.
"Every day," Mrs. Sonora sighed. "Baby even goes to the extent of entertaining fans inside the house. We often have unexpected guests for dinner. Baby gets peeved if we don't treat her fans right."
Bennett showed us a big cabinet full of dolls, figurines, bottles of perfume, embroidered handkerchiefs, costume jewelry, and knick-knacks. "Gifts from her fans," she said. "Most of her dresses are made from materials given by admirers. Incidentally, she designs many of her dresses herself. Baby religiously follows the fashion trends. this is where we have spats. She always insists that I wear more chic attire but I guess I'm just the old-fashioned type like Daddy."
Susan gets all sorts of presents from fans. An Ilocano admirer regularly supplies the Sonora family with
while fans from Batangas and Laguna send fruits,
and other delicacies. A Chinese female fan gave her a ring while a rich friend gave her an expensive bracelet from Hong Kong.
Her fans will be interested to know that Susan keeps an orderly file of their letters and even pastes their pictures in a scrapbook. "My daughter is a sentimentalist," Mrs. Sonora revealed. "She makes it a point to get a souvenir -- a napkin, a card, or even toothpicks -- from the parties she attends." Sure enough, we saw these items in one of her bulky albums. Susan is also a collector of coins and stamps.
"How about boy friends?" we pressed.
"Although she has several suitors, she always tells me she is afraid to fall in love because she would like to make good in the movies," Mrs. Sonora confided. "She says once she gets hitched she will stop appearing in pictures."
Among her many suitors are three movie actors, the son of a Visayan hacendero, a popular La Salle basketeer, the owner of a big laundry firm in Manila, and the son of a former senator who is now in the States.
Thorough Overhauling
"All this talk about boy friends is premature because I shall not get married until I'm 25," Susan, who had finished dealing with her fans, joined the conversation. She claims she has never been kissed on the lips "although I've been pecked on the cheeks." Her concept of an ideal husband includes the following traits: industry, intelligence, dependability, and good personality -- "although he may not be necessarily handsome."
Latest intelligence gathered by us indicates that Susan, who is not yet engaged, is sympathetic to Romeo Vasquez, Asia's best actor for 1957 and one of her ardent admirers. "Even the fans are constantly matching Romeo with her," Bennett intimated.
"I'm sure Baby will make a loving wife because she is muy
," Mrs. Sonora beamed with justifiable pride. "What I admire most is her thoughtfulness. She gives me her pay envelope without a single cent deducted. Despite the fact that she is earning a lot of money she does not complain when I give her an allowance of P30 a week which she uses for taxi fare, chocolate and candies -- she has a sweet tooth."
Before she appeared in her first picture, "Miss Tilapia", wher she earned P1.000 aside from a monthly salary of P250, Susan underwent thorough overhauling by studio beauty experts. First, she was made to wear high heels to trim her obese legs. She had daily face massages to take out the baby fat. Next she was told to wear a corset to give her poise. Proper dieting removed the excess avoirdupois and exercise helped place the pounds in the right places. In no time at all, Susan bloomed. The iridescent butterfly emerged from her drab cocoon.
Oddly enough, Susan was an accomplished dramatic actress in her school days. She was awarded a gold medl on graduation for starring in such plays as "Julius Caesar," "Finger of God," "The Rising Tide," and "Antigone."
"I've always wanted to become a movie star, even in my elementary school days when my classmates christened me "Lola Basiyang" because I was so old-fashioned then," she dreamily recalls.
"I still believe that given time and the proper experience, she will make a good dramatic actress," Dr. Perez told us. "Rightly now, she cannot control the muscles of her face because of the remaining baby fat."
Studio authorities believe that Susan's best dramatic performance to date was her screen test for "Boksingera," her second picture. In 1956, the year she was "discovered," studio top brass were looking for a leading lady for "Boksingera." For two weeks, scenes were shot without a heroine. "We needed a leading lady with childlike qualities, in pigtails, and who could box," Perez disclosed. "Seven tested for the title role including Susan. She won the part by a vote of 19 to 1."
Susan became a full-fledged star with a salary of P2,000 in her third film -- "Kulang Sa Pito" -- where she sang and danced. In this connection, she is an accomplished terpsichorean artist who goes for modern dances like the rock 'n' roll and chicken. To date, she has appeared in 10 pictures all of which were box office hits. Just before she enplaned for abroad she finished two more pictures -- "Ulilang Anghel," a strongly dramatic vehicle where she helps bring love and harmony to a family in discord, and "Lover Boy," where she portrays a rambunctious co-ed who gets into romantic complications when she becomes the sweetheart of a Casanova.
Many believe that Susan will endure long as a star. Her studio has big plans for her. There is only one catch to the whole thing. One of these days clouds will darken her hitherto bright sky and, having encountered easy sailing all her life, she may not be able to weather the tempest. That will be the day this modern Cinderella will need her fairy godmother. That will also be the day she will "discover" herself.
The future of moviedom's fastest rising star depends on how she can hold her liquor -- the intoxicating wine of success. All she has to do, she says, in order not to break the magic spell is to remember the shopworn advice of Mommy Vera, Sampaguita Pictures president: "It pays to be good!"

Everest Disaster The Ethical Brain: The Science of Our Moral Dilemmas Editorial Reviews: SynopsisPat Tillman was well-known to American sports fans: a chisel-jawed and talented young professional football star, he was on the brink of signing a million dollar contract when, in 2001, al-Qaeda launched terrorist attacks against his country. Driven by deeply felt moral patriotism, he walked away from fame and money to enlist in the United States Special Operations Forces. A year later he was killed - apparently in the line of fire - on a desolate hillside near the Pakistan border in Afghanistan. News of Tillman's death shocked America. But even as the public mourned his loss, the US Army aggressively maneuvered to conceal the truth: that it was a ranger in Tillman's own platoon who had fired the fatal shots. In Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer reveals how an entire country was deliberately deceived by those at the very highest levels of the US army and government. Infused with the power and authenticity readers have come to expect from Krakauer's storytelling, Where Men Win Glory exposes shattering truths about men and war. Amazon.com ReviewBook DescriptionThe bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Under the Banner of Heaven delivers a stunning, eloquent account of a remarkable young man's haunting journey. Like the men whose epic stories Jon Krakauer has told in his previous bestsellers, Pat Tillman was an irrepressible individualist and iconoclast. In May 2002, Tillman walked away from his $3.6 million NFL contract to enlist in the United States Army. He was deeply troubled by 9/11, and he felt a strong moral obligation to join the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Two years later, he died on a desolate hillside in southeastern Afghanistan. Though obvious to most of the two dozen soldiers on the scene that a ranger in Tillman's own platoon had fired the fatal shots, the Army aggressively maneuvered to keep this information from Tillman's wife, other family members, and the American public for five weeks following his death. During this time, President Bush repeatedly invoked Tillman's name to promote his administration's foreign policy. Long after Tillman's nationally televised memorial service, the Army grudgingly notified his closest relatives that he had "probably" been killed by friendly fire while it continued to dissemble about the details of his death and who was responsible. In Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer draws on Tillman's journals and letters, interviews with his wife and friends, conversations with the soldiers who served alongside him, and extensive research on the ground in Afghanistan to render an intricate mosaic of this driven, complex, and uncommonly compelling figure as well as the definitive account of the events and actions that led to his death. Before he enlisted in the army, Tillman was familiar to sports aficionados as an undersized, overachieving Arizona Cardinals safety whose virtuosity in the defensive backfield was spellbinding. With his shoulder-length hair, outspoken views, and boundless intellectual curiosity, Tillman was considered a maverick. America was fascinated when he traded the bright lights and riches of the NFL for boot camp and a buzz cut. Sent first to Iraq—a war he would openly declare was "illegal as hell" —and eventually to Afghanistan, Tillman was driven by complicated, emotionally charged, sometimes contradictory notions of duty, honor, justice, patriotism, and masculine pride, and he was determined to serve his entire three-year commitment. But on April 22, 2004, his life would end in a barrage of bullets fired by his fellow soldiers. Krakauer chronicles Tillman's riveting, tragic odyssey in engrossing detail highlighting his remarkable character and personality while closely examining the murky, heartbreaking circumstances of his death. Infused with the power and authenticity readers have come to expect from Krakauer's storytelling, Where Men Win Glory exposes shattering truths about men and war.

So much to do, so little time
... especially cheap, and there didn't seem to be much bartering, as lots of things had marked prices, but they had everything from clothes, shoes, handbags, meat, fish, garden stuff, goldfish, birds, even something that looked like hornets complete with nest! Despite googling I still don't know what they were, but they were twice the size of the largest wasp I have seen, and were very securely held in bags with their nests.

Back from Japan
Our first break from school is finished. Although it seemed a little early for a holiday, we were ready for one! We flew to Tokyo last Saturday from Hong Kong, but stayed at the airport, away from the demonstrations. It was interesting to see the contrasts between Japan and our part of China.
First - there was no humidity! Temps were in the mid 20s and for the first time since we left, we felt a chill in ...
Yuexiu Park and flight home
Spent the morning exploring Yuexiu Park were the locals were exercising, relaxing, play games, singing etc.
I thought I'd go to the airport via subway. It was so easy and cost only a couple of dollars.
When I boarded the plane I again found someone in my seat. The crew member found that we both had a boarding pass for the same seat. After some time, the couple of moved to the seat in front.
Liuhua Park and walk about
Chinese Parks have a unique feel about them. Liuhua Park is in the middle of Guangzhou and is like an oasis. The park is quite picturesque set around a series of lakes with calming music being played thru out, but it is activities of the locals that is very fascinating. Local were dancing, exercising, playing games, singing etc. A common game being played is 4 or 5 people keeping a weighted shuttle cock with their feet. Ladies exercise by swinging arms ...
Broken leg trumps long legs.
... She even remarkably walked to the toilet.
I had an interesting taxi ride with confusion over the destination, fare, being short changed but I got to the hotel.
It so happened the hotel had a floor with a massage centre, I was keen on a massage but was concerned I may fall asleep, I need not have. I have had hard massages before but none like this. I was pummelled and trampled on, it was brutal, but after I felt good, maybe it was because the pummelling had ended.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Tuesday struck a less optimistic tone on its view of the world's number three economy, but held off launching fresh monetary easing measures after a two-day meeting.
The father of a 16-year-old Japanese schoolgirl who confessed to decapitating a classmate earlier this year has killed himself, news reports said Monday.
Strong typhoon Phanfone slammed into Japan Monday, packing gusting winds and huge waves that swept three U.S. military officials out to sea in another stark reminder of the country's vulnerability to nature.
Disgraced swimmer Naoya Tomita was "not in his usual mental state" when he stole a journalist's camera at the Asian Games, the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) said Saturday.
Sixteen people remain unaccounted for on a still-smouldering Japanese volcano that erupted at the weekend, officials said Friday, as a typhoon looming off the coast threatened to further delay the stalled recovery operation.
Japan's upper house of parliament, often called the chamber of wisdom, has been rocked by a dress code row after a minister appeared sporting a red scarf.
Japan weighed in Friday on the standoff between government and pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, calling for the city's "free and open" system not to be undermined, in an intervention likely to anger Beijing.
Rescuers searching the volcano that erupted without warning in Japan found dead hikers wedged between huge rocks and people half buried in ash, it emerged Thursday.
It was, retired Japanese railway engineer Fumihiro Araki recalls, "like flying in the sky."
The death toll from a sudden volcanic eruption in Japan hit 47 on Wednesday as rescuers discovered 12 new bodies in so-far unexplored areas of the ash-covered peak.

Greg Beitling refused to stay idle while Americans' lifespans shortened due to obesity-related diseases. Instead, he founded Lit Fitness to help the community retool its approach to eating and exercise. The studio specializes in what they call Large Group Training, or LGT, which challenges students to intense regimens of calisthenics, weightlifting, and short bursts of cardio. Beitling draws upon certifications in personal training and strength-and-conditioning instruction to build workouts that maximize calorie burning and increase lean-muscle mass to help jump-start metabolisms. In addition to increasing their strength, endurance, energy, and flexibility, participants can win prizes such as cash and skinny jeans by tackling the goals they set along the way. Like a trip to the beach with a very modest mermaid, each camp lasts about 50 minutes and requires an ample supply of water and towels. Many of the studio's programs also include nutritional components, which range from healthy-eating workshops to meetings with a dietitian.
One nippy Tuesday morning, Oliver H. Gerry swung open a set of doors inside the Grand Avenue Temple in downtown Kansas City. It was January 23, 1912, and that unfurled entranceway symbolized the first day Gerry Optical was open for business. In the 100 years since, professionally trained technicians have prepared eyewear to complement the styles of countless clients, including President Harry Truman and Senator Nancy Kassebaum. Today, each of the store's nine locations carries between 800 and 1,200 frames from brands such as Calvin Klein, Ray-Ban, Prada, and BCBG, and the flagship store on 75th Street also houses its own grinding lab to quickly custom-craft lenses and fix cracks after cartoon eye-popping mishaps. To honor its deep community roots, Gerry Optical gives back by partnering with Lions Clubs International to provide discount eye exams and eyeglasses to underprivileged families.
Trek Bicycle Store's team of passionate cyclists outfits customers with the same brand-name clothing, accessories, and bikes they know and use themselves. Firsthand knowledge of road, mountain, and city bikes from top industry brands such as Trek, MirraCo, and Gary Fisher means cycling specialists can fit each client with gear that best suits their needs. They help protect riders with helmets from Bontrager and guard them against inclement weather or hitchhiking bugs with jackets and gear from Pearl Izumi.
Trek Bicycle Store also offers repairs, tune-ups, and free maintenance services during the first few months after the purchase of a new bike. Driven by all things cycling, they also host in-store events such as socials and tech clinics.
A community presence in Kansas City since 1860, the Greater Kansas City YMCA forwards its mission of physical and social enrichment for men, women, and kids of all ages and backgrounds at its 18 locations. Each bustling outpost proffers members an embarrassment of fitness and entertainment riches, with everything from youth camps and after-school programs to group exercise classes, such as cycling, core training, and Pilates. Clubs and social organizations help members meet like-minded friends, and family activities strengthen bonds critically weakened by overzealous games of Monopoly.
The staff at Thomas Anderson & Associates strives to make clients smile—and not just during their before-and-after pictures. Massage chairs, flat-screen TVs, and a wide selection of movies and music help make visits to the office as relaxing as a tumbler of whiskey enjoyed in one's very own pit of quicksand. Technicians apply a gentle touch when performing exams, x-rays, and other general-dentistry procedures. Cosmetic services—including teeth whitening and Invisalign—remain as noninvasive as possible.
Known for its history as a pioneer town and home to former president Harry S. Truman, Independence welcomes visitors to its storied sites, making them more accessible with free trolley rides. Tour the 1859 Jail and Marshal's Home and Museum to glimpse a dwelling for law breakers next to a dwelling for a law keeper, and the clandestine tryst between the abodes that resulted in a museum. The Bingham-Waggoner Estate preserves many of the original art and furnishings of the famed Bingham and Waggoner families, while the National Frontier Trails Museum hails the starting point of the westbound pioneers with bronzed pieces of nuts, raisins, and chocolate bits tracing a path westward.

I can't help but think that if they had knocked up either crystal cove or crescent bay by late 2013 they would have said "good enough" and shipped them to retail. Wanting to make the best product you can is admirable, but sometimes you need to let joe public loose, see what non-enthusiasts end up using it for, see what cheap plastic aftermarkets mods appear on the market, and then take it from there.
