Rail safety in B.C. questioned following Quebec tragedy
Following a massive, deadly fire sparked by the derailment of a train in Quebec, questions are being asked about the safety of hazardous goods rail networks in British Columbia.
Early Saturday morning, a parked train carrying crude oil rolled away and crashed, sparking multiple explosions and a major fire in the community of Lac-Mégantic. Thirteen people have been confirmed dead and around 50 remain missing as of Monday.
The incident has shone the spotlight on the contentious political debate over oil transportation and Canada's rapidly expanding oil-by-rail industry.... Read more »

Taking Action on Bee Mortalities
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
Ontario is bringing together a group of experts to provide advice on how to prevent bee mortalities.
The Bee Health Working Group will be comprised of beekeepers, farmers, agri-business representatives, scientists, and staff from both federal and provincial government agencies. Drawing on a broad range of expertise, the working group will provide recommendations on how to mitigate the potential risk to honey bees from exposure to neonicotinoid -- a pesticide used for corn and soybeans.
The working group will meet for the first time this month and provide its recommendations by spring 2014.
Supporting the province's agri-businesses while protecting the environment is part of the Ontario government's plan to create a fair and prosperous society.... Read more »
What's killing honeybees?
Beekeeper John Van Blyderveen is troubled by the silence in his laneway in Ontario's Oxford County.
The familiar summertime buzz of bees hovering over the lush cherry blossom trees is noticeably absent. The flowers sit untouched.
"This is extremely unusual for this being a bee farm, there are no bees here," Blyderveen says. "This is really sad."
This increasingly familiar scene, which is playing out across North America and Europe, worries beekeepers, farmers and scientists who have been tracking the collapse of honeybee colonies over the past decade.... Read more »

EMERGENCY repair works have started on Botley Road after a leak was spotted this morning.
A lane has been closed near Osney Bridge – where the road was dug up last month causing traffic delays – because of a broken water main.
Workmen from Thames Water have now been called to the scene.
Martin Crabtree, a spokesman for Oxfordshire County Council, said: "It has been agreed that Thames Water will control the traffic past the works using Stop/Go boards, to ensure manual control, until 7pm this evening.
"After 7pm there will be temporary traffic light until 6:30am on Friday, August 15. Should Thames Water think that they will not be finished with their work by 6:30am tomorrow then they will temporarily reinstate the road surface so that traffic can use the road.
"Thames Water would then have to return after 7pm on Friday to do a permanent reinstatement.
"The pedestrian crossing at this location will have to be switched off."
Becky Trotman, a spokesman for Thames Water, said: "We know it's frustrating for drivers to see work happening in an area that's recently been resurfaced but unfortunately we can't always predict where or when a pipe is going to burst, despite our best monitoring efforts.
"This work is in no way related to the sewer repairs we carried out last month."

Quarrels keep Vilnius synagogue closed
Sep 02, 2004
By Milda Seputyte
VILNIUS-The only practicing synagogue in Vilnius was closed on Aug. 30 for the third time this year due to unresolved arguments between the Jewish Community of Lithuania and the Chabad Lubavitch organization.
On Aug. 25 the Vilnius synagogue opened to host an evening memorial for Moshe Kouscevitzky, a famous Jewish cantor, in connection with the second World Litvak (Lithuanian Jewish) Congress. But immediately after the concert a new row broke out between Chabad Lubavich followers and members of the Jewish Community of Lithuania.
"Chabad Lubavitch does not obey the maxims of the synagogue. The young people stamp their feet during the service and insult Chief Rabbi Burstein with unquotable words," said Simonas Alperavicius, chairman of the community.
Clashes between the two Jewish communities began in May, when the Vilnius synagogue was closed for the first time. The roots of the resentment are embedded among unsettled rights to Lithuania's Jewish heritage and quarrels over the position of chief rabbi in the country.
"Civilized people leave the synagogue after it's closed. When the alarm was turned on, they were hiding in the synagogue - therefore our guards had to use physical force to take them out," Alperavicius said.
Chabad Lubavitch, however, saw things differently.
"After the concert was over, people went down to pray and suddenly they were literally carried from the synagogue," said Mariam Levina, a representative of Chabad Lubavitch.
According to Alperavicius, the hostility was incited by Rabbi Shalom Ber Krinsky's ambitions to become a chief rabbi in Lithuania and take control over the Jewish Community's restituted property.
For generations, members of the Vilnius Jewish community were known not only as followers of Gaon, the renowned commentator of the Talmud and the Torah, but also as strictly opposing the Chassidic movement.
Therefore, during the interwar period, Chassidic followers had almost no property in Vilnius that they could nowadays reclaim.
Finally, in 1994 Rabbi Krinsky established Chabad Lubavitch, the first Chassidic community in Vilnius.
But traditional Gaon followers in Lithuania claim that Krinsky wants to gain similar powers to his Russian equivalent.
"Chassidic positions are much stronger in Russia, where Jewish traditions are lost. Therefore, President Vladimir Putin appointed the Chabad representative as a chief rabbi in Russia, and Krinsky wants to achieve the same in Lithuania," said Alperavicius.
Meanwhile, the Chabad Lubavitch community blames Alperavicius for intending to overtake the restitution of Jewish property.
The government is currently preparing an amendment to regulate the compensation of Jewish property. According to proposed amendments, the property will be assigned to a new foundation that includes various Jewish organizations and communities.
"Alperavicius is not even a religious person. He wanted to become a chairman of the religious Jewish community in order to become the only person in charge of the restitution," said Levina.
Although this new religious group has their own premises for prayers, the traditional Jewish community is allowed to pray in their synagogue.
According to the Jewish Community of Lithuania, Krinsky started calling himself chief rabbi about three years ago on the Internet and in the Lithuanian media, despite the fact that no elections were held to elect him.
Still, the Jewish community refuses to recognize Krinsky as their rabbi. Over 500 Litvaks signed a document strongly disagreeing with the Chassidic rabbi's candidacy.
"We have suggested that our rabbi and Krinsky could take turns in celebrating mass. However, he did not want any compromises," said Alperavicius.
In February a group of Krinsky's followers gathered secretly to elect a new council representing the Jewish community. The documents were later sent to the Ministry of Justice for registration.
"Where and when in the world did one organization [Chabad Liubavich] have a right to re-elect the leaders of another organization [Gaon followers]?" wrote Milan Chersonsky, editor of the Jewish community newspaper Jerusalem of Lithuania. "Fortunately, their intents failed because the Ministry of Justice realized the legal null of the documents."
During the Litvak congress, while supporting traditional Gaon followers' positions, Litvaks from 13 countries signed a resolution declaring that the actions of the Chubad Lubavich leader are a matter of great concern.

Map of the Inner War
Updated: November 21, 2008, 6:10 PM ETBy Joshua Brooks
Your recent exhibit has more sculpture than I remember. The text bubbles from your ads are jumping off the walls and there are massive wooden heads. What prompted you to incorporate more sculpture than in the past? I think it just came naturally. I was thinking about making some bookends shaped like a profile, then it just morphed into being it's own stand up thing. I like the idea of a piece of art taking up a certain space. A sculpture is more commanding than a picture that stays on a wall. ...

The EU isn't waiting for the Lisbon Treaty to be formally ratified
Look, I don't want to be pernickity about this, but the job of European President still doesn't exist. Neither does that of EU foreign minister. Yet again, as you can hear me tell an unsympathetic chamber below, the EU is acting as if the European Constitution Lisbon Treaty were already in force. And it is doing so quite blatantly: see, for example, Guy Verhofstadt's comments here.
The EU rarely lets the letter of the law stand in its way
The extent to which Brussels is anticipating formal implementation – and doing so with your money – is revealed in this excellent paper by my old friend Lee Rotherham, published by the Taxpayers' Alliance. The EU is spending £3.4 billion a year on its foreign policy. It operates 130 embassies around the world, employs thousands of diplomatic staff, and has taken over from its member states the chief functions of a national legation. How quaint to see British journalists writing about the Common Foreign and Security Policy as if it were a proposed new departure.

Twista - Aint Too Young Now
Artist: Twista
Featuring: Tia London
Producer: The Legendary Traxster
Album: The Dark Horse
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 12 votes )
Age, as those looking to justify pursuing a partner several decades older or younger will insist, ain't nothing but a number. Of course, a corollary of that claim would be that turning 18 isn't a guarantee of adulthood; maturity, whether mental or physical, follows its own schedule. On the latest single off his ninth studio album, Twista describes how a woman who he wouldn't give the time of day to when she was 19 took him by surprise when she hit her mid-twenties. With Traxster's suitably sultry synth grooves as his backdrop, the Windy City vet marvels at how much of a difference half a decade can make: "When she was young, she had a crush on me. She said I was hot, I said 'Damn, that's cute.' / Saw her five years later, so thick and sophisticated, and I was like 'Damn, that's you?'" Tia London plays the role of the woman in question, letting the headliner know just how grown she is on the Autotune-drenched chorus. Feeling the veteran flowsmith's latest burner? More awaits on Twista's next album, The Dark Horse. Keep it locked for release details on the yet-unscheduled set, as well as the latest tunes.

Breaking news - Sega Buys Atlus:
(I Wasn't sure if this should go in the exisiting SMT thread. I decided against, since Atlus makes more than SMT) After months of speculation, the fate of Atlus is sealed - Index Holdings will be acquired by Sega Sammy, parent company of Sega. http://nintendoeverything.com/sega-to-purchase-index-corporation/ In contrast to many other possible acquisitors, this will likely not affect the dev in any significant way. Nobody will lose or gain any exclusives, and things will proceed as planned. All that has changed is that the future of Atlus has been assured.

Gunpla is amazing!Eeeeeh....I can think of a lot of worse companies to buy Atlus, but Sega hasn't exactly been on the ball lately. Especially with localization....
Wuh? Sega Sammy already owns Sega.

They'd have to offer Index more than Sega did. So unless Atlus were sitting on 14 billion yen (and they weren't), there's no chance.

Now, after Atlus collaborated with ASW for P4A, they own the guys who made Persona and MegaTen. I'd honestly love to see someone from Sky Gunner in the next Sonic & All-Stars Racing. Conversely, maybe we'll get Shining Force and Phantasy Star cameos in P5.

Atlus's take on the subject.
I just hope Sega doesn't force Atlus to bring less niche titles. Hell, if anything, they should now let Atlus handle the Yakuza games(for instance, they could bring the HD Collection of 1 and 2.)
I think everyone would prefer if they bring 5 and, when its out, Ishin.
Sega-Sammy buys Atlus, not Sega. Here comes the Sega curse. Expect localization no-nos, cancelled stuff, and bad sales if it isn't Sonic. That said Sega isn't terrible, but they have a bad marketing team and upper management. Sega of Japan are pretty dickish too. I can't believe this is happening though.

Are there brandies/cognacs/armagnacs as good as French ones made elsewhere?
Ever since I was in my twenties, my hard liquor of choice has been French brandy. By "brandy," I mean cognac, armagnac, and any other "nacs" made in France. The good ones, like Courvoisier, Hennessy, and Martell, all seem superior to me to brandies made elsewhere. (There are many other French ones, as well, but these are the least expensive brands sold in the U.S. which seem absoutely great to me.) Whenever I try Mexican, Spanish, or American brandy, it seems too sweet, as if too much carmel "coloring/flavoring" had been added. And it is not as aromatic or smooth.
Is there anywhere outside of France where they make brandies competitive in flavor--dry, smooth, and aromatic--to the ones which I have named? I realize that if I spend a $100 or more on a bottle of brandy, I can probably find something similar somewhere, but for the price, say U.S. $40 per bottle, or less, is there anything made in (say) Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Argentina which comes close to the quality of French brandy? And if not, why not?
Very high quality Brandy is not to be had for $40 a bottle.
Both the US and Spain produce some very good Brandies but they do not cost $40
I would also argue that French products in that price range are just not that amazing.
re: jpc8015
I think Masson Grande Amber VSOP is as good if not better than the basic offerings from Hennessey and Courvoisier, at about 1/3 the price.
re: ncyankee101
There are plenty of fine brandies from America, Spain, Eastern Europe, and South America. There are also lots of shitty brandies from France.
The idea that France has a monopoly on the production of drinkable brandy is laughable.
re: jpc8015
Supposedly there are some very fine brandies from Azerbaijan. Then you have tipples like Asbach Uralt, Metaxa, Fundador etc - maybe not to your taste but definitely potable. I'll stick to Marie Duffau and Landy with an occasional splurge on Delamain.
re: kagemusha49
Man, I love Delamain. we don't drink a ton of brandy, but we keep a bottle of that for when we want to. It's phenomenal.
re: kagemusha49
Thanks, Kagemusha. I appreciate your taking the time to list some alternatives.
I've had Asbach Uralt (in fact, went on vacation last year to where it is produced--Rudesheim, Germany) and I thought it was too sweet.
My father swore by three star and seven star Greek Metaxa. I thought the drink was great, but it is more like an after dinner liqueur than a brandy--way too sweet.
I think I had Fundador when I lived in Mexico forty years ago, but maybe not. I'll try it and see how it is. Thanks for the suggestion.
re: jpc8015
I didn't say that France had a monopoly on the production of drinkable brandy. Where did you get that from my post? I said that France seemed to produce more good brandy (smoother, less sweet, more aromatic) at a lower cost than I could find elsewhere. The goal of the posting was to find other equally good brandies at a comparable or lower cost.
"There are plenty of fine brandies from America, Spain, Eastern Europe and South America," you wrote. I'm looking for them. What are they called?
re: gfr1111
From your post:
"The good ones, like Courvoisier, Hennessy, and Martell, all seem superior to me to brandies made elsewhere. (There are many other French ones, as well, but these are the least expensive brands sold in the U.S. which seem absoutely great to me.) Whenever I try Mexican, Spanish, or American brandy, it seems too sweet, as if too much carmel "coloring/flavoring" had been added. And it is not as aromatic or smooth."
I don't know what you were trying to say here if you weren't saying that French brandy is better than all other brandies just by the virtue that it is made in France; especially the first sentence.
re: kagemusha49
I second the Landy, made by Ferrand.
Jeff, you've opened up an incredible can of worms albeit unintentional, I'm sure. As I don't know how much you actually know about the subject, let me start at the very beginning with a few basics (regardless of what's already been written; bear with me) . . .
You already know that brandies are made all over the world. COGNAC is merely one type of brandy, and its production zone is limited to a very small, very specific corner of France -- make it there, follow some very specific regulations, and you can call your brandy "Cognac." Make it there, but don't follow the regulations? NOT Cognac. Make it elsewhere, but following the same specific regulations? NOT Cognac.
ARMAGNAC? Same thing, but from a different part of France.
BRANDY DE JEREZ? Same thing, but from Jerez, in Spain.
These are the three most famous (grape) brandies in the world, but -- again -- brandy is made the world over.
You mentioned three specific brands of Cognac: "(t)he good ones, like Courvoisier, Hennessy, and Martell." These are three of the four largest producers -- you left out Rémy Martin -- and certainly these are the four best known brands as well. And they *are* good . . . compared to most non-Cognacs, but they aren't very good (just better known) compared to other producers/brands widely available -- even in Tampa!
The region of Cognac makes the very BEST Cognac in the world . . . Armagnac makes the finest Armagnac on Earth . . . and no one produces Brandy de Jerez like the producers of Brandy de Jerez. They are different from one another, and from every other region on the planet!
Now, that said, of all the brandies produced ELSEWHERE in the world, there are some California Alambic brandies that are very reminiscent stylistically to Cognac. The easiest of these to find, also the oldest of the California alambics, is Germain-Robin -- http://www.craftdistillers.com/produc... -- whereas Osocalis is very small, with a very limited production, and is thus hard to find even in California, let alone Florida!
Nothing from California, or elsewhere really, is close stylistically to Armagnac.
Most California and Mexican brandies are made in column stills, rather than pot stills, and will be nothing like a Cognac or Armagnac. They still can be very good, but there's nothing about these column-distilled brandies that will be reminiscent of what you're looking for . . .
The same can be said for the grape brandies made throughout the rest of France -- they, too, often are produced using column stills, and while I might use some for cooking, I'd rather not drink them.
A word about caramel coloring and boisé. Both are legal to use in Cognac and elsewhere. Since brandies are colorless when distilled, they pick up color from aging in oak. The addition of color makes the brandies *appear* older than they are. Similarly, the addition of boisé (basically pulverized wood) adds the aroma and flavor of having been in oak longer than they actually were. The "Big Four" (Courvoisier, Hennessy, Martell, Rémy Martin) ALL use coloring and boisé, but many Cognac distillers do not. Léopold Gourmel -- http://www.leopold-gourmel.com/en/ -- does not, for example, and IIRC, neither does Maison Surrenne -- http://www.craftdistillers.com/produc... -- among many others.
I would AVOID the "Big Four" from Cognac. Relative to other producers, they simply aren't all that great and (IMHO) overpriced for what you get.
In addition to the two (very small) producers I mentioned above (both of which are outstanding, IMHO), I'd look for Cognacs from the following producers, presented in alphabetical order:
Delamain -- http://www.delamain-cognac.fr
Hine -- http://www.hinecognac.com
Pierre Ferrand -- http://www.pierreferrandcognac.com/en/
More information and suggestions available upon request . . .
re: zin1953
Wow! Zin1953, I bow to a master on the topic. Yes, I am requesting more information and suggestions, please. Thanks for all the insight. I will certainly try your suggestions above and more would definitely be appreciated.
You mentioned Remy-Martin as one of the "big four" which I had left out. I knew there was one I had forgotten and spotted it at Walgreen's. (This was before your suggestion to avoid the Big Four.) As penance, I bought a bottle ($24.99 on sale, down from about $30.00 normally). But from now on, I will embark on a program of trying all those brandies which you and the other posters on this page have recommended.
re: gfr1111
Hardly a master, though I hope I've learned a few things during my career in the wine trade . . . ;^)
Cognac first:
It's not a great analogy by any means, but think of the "Big Four" as McDonald's, Jack-in-the-Box, Burger King, and Taco Bell . . . sometimes (for some people) these will just "hit the spot," but they know there's better stuff out there -- some will care and seek out the better stuff; others are simply content where they are.
Told you it wasn't all that great . . . the "Big Four" are better than that, but somehow comparing, say, Outback or Sizzler with Peter Lugar's or even Morton's made even less sense to me.
Each "house" (producer) has its own style -- consistent throughout all its various bottlings of Cognac. Courvoisier, for instance, is rougher, more coarse; Rémy is the lightest (of the four); Martell the fullest; and so on. Smaller houses/producers like Hine, Delamain, Ferrand, Camus, Kelt, etc. each have their own styles . . . as do the "Big Four."
Armagnac is the "country cousin" of Cognac -- generally speaking, it's fuller, rounder, more robust . . . similar yet completely different. Here, too, there are large houses (Sempé, Janneau, Larressingle, de Montal, and others) as well as a myriad of small ones, including (but in no way limited to) Château de Tarriquet, Francis Darroze, Laberdolive.
Brandy de Jerez runs the gamut from light, dry, and elegant to heavy, rich, and rough.
California alambics emulate (generally) Cognac.
The brandies of Mexico (again, generally) emulate the brandies of Spain, for obvious reasons.
The key is to go forth and enjoy!
re: kagemusha49
I use Landy in he bars I work with as our house "cocktail"" brandy.
re: kagemusha49
Neither does Léopold Gourmel, but it's pretty damned good $#|+! ;^)
If you can find it, Torres 20 year old brandy and Jaime 1 brandy (even older) are superb. They are not like brandies from Jerez (which I enjoy.)
Good post, gfr.
Cognac IS the marque, or the benchmark for others to follow.
Notice the characteristic of other manufacturers to imitate, or replicate the bottle label colour, font size and style, and the actual bottle colour shape / colour, with slight wording alterations to suggest you are buying the original product at a marked reduction in price.
And it works, doesn't it.
I've mentioned here that there very few experts, some here on CH, are actually blessed with a palate fine enough to distinguish good Cognac, or good brandies. But back to your question, as that is the fun of the exercise. Travel and taste, or try out someone's suggestion on a different brandy, and see if you enjoy it.
French-style brandies in South America ? By my experience, no. At risk of being declared persona non grata, and denied re-entry to Peru or Brasil, Pisco and oak-aged Cachaça sit in my hutch as a popular spirit for guests, but don't measure up to the French category.
Japan ? Suntory VSOP or XO might favourably tempt your nose or palette.
One country not mentioned is the excellent Emperador produced by Mr. Andrew Tan of the Philippines. In the World Top 10 brandies, too.
I'll allow others to add to the global brandy treasures list.
One final caveat:
Never be tempted to believe that brandy served in a Courvoisier VSOP crystal decanter is actually that, and not El Presidente or another inexpensive substitute. I've done that to guests who generously and gratefully emptied my entire decanter in one evening.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa. After a good meal, by our fire, none could tell.
re: SWISSAIRE
I don't think that the folks in Armagnac follow the folks in Cognac (or should I say Jarnac). Armagnac has been around longer than Cognac
re: kagemusha49
re: SWISSAIRE
Slightly off topic, but would El Presidente serve as a substitute for cognac in making a fruit brandy? I need something decent tasting but preferably a whole lot cheaper than good French Cognac. I'd prefer a smooth finish and fairly light taste.
re: susanl143
Sure it will.
You will be tasting the fruit first, and then the brandy.
Again let it age, and keep it well sealed. But let people know what it actually is, and not a French Cognac.
I actually miss that brandy: Hard to find and expensive here, as it is considered an American ( as in from the Americas ) import.
re: SWISSAIRE
Let it age? In the bottle? Really? How?
re: SWISSAIRE
Kirsch (aka Kirschwasser, if made in Germany; I've never seen it labeled "Kirchwater") is not fruit-flavored brandy, which is what susanl143 was talking about making when she wrote, "would El Presidente serve as a substitute for cognac in making a fruit brandy" -- Kirsch is an eau-de-vie, a brandy distilled FROM cherries¹, not flavored by them.
Most eaux-de-vie are bottled soon after distillation and are unaged, though (e.g.) Schladerer (from Germany) does produce one that receives some aging in oak in addition to their "regular" one, as do a handful of other distillers.
But no distillate ages in the bottle.
¹ Just as Framboise is distilled from raspberries, Mirabelle, from plums, Poire from pears, etc., etc.
re: zin1953
Just as an aside these Fruit Brandies/Eau-de-Vie in German speaking Countries are know as Schnaps.
re: chefj
But so are several other distillates . . . and let's not even bring up what Americans call "schnapps."
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnapps and http://cocktails.about.com/od/cocktai...
. . . not to mention my grandfather, when he came to this country, continued his daily ritual of taking a "shot of schnapps" every day at noon . . . and he used Old Weller Antique 7 year old 107° Bourbon Whiskey (though technically incorrect, as his last name was "Weller," and as he lived to be 97, who was I to argue?)
re: zin1953
Yes please do not bring up American "Schnapps"
True that Schnaps refers to many strong spirits.
To be more narrow I suppose Obstschnaps would refer to ones made only from Fruit and Geist for redistilled infusions.
re: susanl143
I don't understand the question. "would El Presidente serve as a substitute for cognac in making a fruit brandy?" Making a fruit brandy? El Presidente is a brandy. Do you mean for infusing fruit into a brandy?
re: JMF
Indeed I meant infusing a fruit into a brandy. In this case, wild blackberries. If El Presidente is both hard to find and expensive, I need another suitable brand, please.
My sipping Cognac these days is Kelt. Using it as a base for fruit flavors would offend me, not to mention destroy my budget.
re: susanl143
Hi Susan-
El Pressidente, a brandy from Mexico is inexpensive and available in North America.
You shouldn't have any problem finding it, or infusing it with anything of your choice.
re: susanl143
ANY grape brandy in which you have macerated fruit will become a fruit-flavored brandy, but it is *still* a grape brandy, not a fruit brandy. Fruit brandies by definition are distilled from the actual fruit itself -- other than grapes which, yes, are indeed a fruit, but not in this particular context. That is, the world over, "brandy" (by itself) is distilled from grapes. "Fruit brandy" is distilled from fruit ***other than*** grapes.
Fruit brandy, often called eau-de-vie, are typically colorless and can (and are) produced from a wide variety of fruits all over the world, though the ares which are best known for these fruit brandies are Alsace, France, Germany (especially in and around the Black Forest), Switzerland, and in Eastern Europe (Hungary and the former Yugoslavia, in particular). A tiny number of American craft distillers, including St. George (California) and Clear Creek (Oregon), produce outstanding faux-de-vie as well.
Fruit *flavored* brandy has long been made by major US brands of liquor and liqueur, including (but not limited to) DeKuyper, Hiram Walker, and Leroux. But this -- like you were describing above using Presidente Brandy, which it can be quite tasty, tastes nothing like the true eau-de-vie.
Personally I think using Cognac to make fruit-flavored brandy is not only expensive, but it's a waste of good Cognac. Presidente (it's not "El Presidente," by the way) would be fine, as would Korbel from California -- which is smoother and richer than Gallo, Paul Masson, or Christian Bros.
Edit: I didn't see your post above re: infusing when I wrote this; sorry to be redundant.
re: zin1953
I think the blackberry brandies made by the three companies you list above are awful. I love the idea of blackberry flavored brandy but hate the taste of those I can buy. They are too sweet and too rough and the berry flavor tastes artificial. Little wonder as they all list artificial flavor as one of their ingredients. I want decent brandy as the base and wonderful berries as the flavoring and sweetened to my own taste which may or may not include much sugar at all.
My tenant, who is Polish in background, likes the commercial blackberry brandies which is why I've tasted them all. I kept hoping one of them would be good. I have something different in mind. Maybe what I make will end up like those but I am hoping not. I also saw a recipe for wild blackberry brandy that included spices and ginger. I'll also try that -- thinking that come winter and come colds, that would be a very satisfying pick me up with a cup of hot tea.
I th9ought the infusions with vodka or grain alcohol counted as eau d' vie mostly due to a friend who told me that was how she made such. I now know better and won't call my fruit infusions that. I certainly drank some wonderful eau d' vies when last in France. I'll try the California ones. Setting up my own distillery is beyond my present ambitions.
re: susanl143
You can find some very nice brandy to use for infusion. What price range?
You may want to do a search on this board because over the years we have had some very in-depth discussions about infusions.
re: susanl143
>>> I think the blackberry brandies made by the three companies you list above are awful. <<<
Susan, you are a woman of exquisite taste. They ARE awful!
I, too, would suggest searching this site for discussions on infusions. Obviously, infusing vodka with fruit tastes of fruit, whereas infusing brandy with fruit gives you the taste of both. This is (obviously) why you want to start with a good brandy, but -- as I said above -- I'd never use Cognac . . . or, for that matter, any expensive brandy.
The difference between brandies will certainly affect the flavor of the infused spirit, so I'd start with a brandy you like. If you've never had Presidente (or Korbel or Paul Masson or . . . or . . . ), you have a couple of options. One, of course, is to go out and buy them all -- either all at once or one at a time -- infuse them, and taste the results. That can get rather pricey, not to mention wasteful. Another way to go would be to go to a bar and order a snifter of one or more of them and taste them "straight" to see which you enjoy most, then use that one as your base. You should enjoy the results, but if not, you can always try a different brandy the next time.
Just random thoughts on a Sunday afternoon . . .
re: zin1953
I went to the NH liquor store yesterday only to discover that virtually all the brands listed as good while not cognac weren't carried there. I bought a large bottle of Band J XO because the description on the bottle said ultra smooth. The clerk said I could bring it back if I didn't like it. Well, it was disgusting. The main aroma was ammonia and it was rough indeed. I think I spotted Paul Masson. I'll try that next. No Korbel, no Presidente. I swore off Vodka decades ago when it bit me from behind and kept me ill for most of the next day. I'm pretty sure I had an allergic response to the filtration stuff as I was far to ill for simply a hangover. I haven't touched the stuff since. Cognac is my go to drink when I am feeling ill so I figured combining brandy with healthful blackberries would be the get through the winter sniffles drink. I'll use rum if brandy doesn't work.
re: susanl143
I exchanged the brandy I had bought. The manager wasn't going to take it back since it had been opened but I said, "it smells like ammonia. That isn't the way brandy should smell." He opened the bottle, took a whiff, and promptly offered to refund my money. I took Paul Masson instead and when I got home, opened and tasted it. This was a whole different type of brandy and actually not too far off some of the big three cognacs. Certainly as good as their VS versions and a lot less expensive -- on sale for $7.99 for the 750 size.As the brandy had a pleasant taste and aroma, I simply added it to the blackberries without anything else. I think it is going to be really good.
Oh, can't edit the post above. The awful brandy was B & G.
re: susanl143
The Paul Masson is fine for making your Blackberry infusion. Also fine for Fruit Cakes and their Ilk.
re: chefj
Susan, the difference between the Paul Masson and the Korbel brandies from California is principally one of weight. The Paul Masson is lighter in body than the Korbel -- in a similar way to a Cognac being lighter than an Armagnac, say -- and less "forceful" in flavor. Thus, as (my neighbor and fellow East Bay resident) chefj said, it's perfect for your infusion and for cooking . . .
re: zin1953
I'd probably have bought the Korbel if the store had it. I was put off by the inexpensiveness of the Paul Masson but fortunately that did not indicate relative quality. The lightness of the PM was exactly what I was seeking plus a decent base flavor. I am sure this will be a huge improvement over those awful and sickening sweet commercial blackberry brandies. I couldn't believe the horror of my other purchase, the E & J ammonia flavored brandy (finally have those initials right -- my brain wants to forget all about that stuff.)
I've often found the recommended Cognacs on this list unavailable in NH. For now, I'm pretty happy with the Kelt for the money but would gladly seek another good value Cognac for variety -- although its purchase might require an out of state trip. I love good wine but I don't drink enough alone at home to avoid wasting half the bottle or more so a less perishable drink like Cognac is my home tipple. I have followed the Cognac threads in the past but new offerings often come along and I like to keep up.
re: susanl143
Kelt Tour du Monde is pretty good - we get it here for $40. But for some of the other ones we've mentioned here, you need to hit a more cosmopolitan liquor store - in or out of NH
re: susanl143
I had heard that E+J XO was a decent bargain brandy several years ago, but has gone downhill more recently. I bought a bottle a couple years ago and it was pretty bad - I wouldn't say it was reminiscent of ammonia, but it tasted like a really cheap rum.
re: susanl143
In all honesty, the more I think about it, you ended up with the PERFECT choice . . . no thanks to me. I prefer drinking Korbel to Paul Masson, on those rare occasions I drink one or the other. (Generally, I don't; I only taste them as a judge at the California State Fair; phased more correctly, Korbel would be my choice if I had to drink one or the other.) But that said, Paul Masson is the better choice for infusions *precisely* because of its lightness.
I'm glad it worked out well, and I'm thankful the Korbel wasn't available! ;^)
I would repeat the previous recommendation of trying Germain-Robin if you ever get the chance . . . NOT for infusing, but as a very fine California alambic brandy (in the style of a Cognac), but sadly it's not carried in NH.
Aside from the Kelt, you might want to try this one offered by the NH system: http://www.liquorandwineoutlets.com/p...
re: zin1953
My Kelt bottle is low. The fact that the Brandy in your link is on closeout makes me think that if I want any, I'd best buy some soon. I certainly don't remember seeing it in my supermarket sized local store when I pondered at length the offerings of the Brandy section. I'll try a few other stores in the area. I'm probably heading to NY next week so I might also look for the Germain-Robin.
During the long NH winters, with the thermostat kept low, sometimes nothing but a bit of a good cognac can make the cold bearable.
re: susanl143
For those Blackberries right?
re: SWISSAIRE
You really can't compare different styles of brandy such as Cognac to Armagnac to Pisco to Marc to Grappa to Eau de vie to Palinka, aged, non-aged, etc. They are differing styles of brandy, made with different grapes and /or fruit, fermented in differing ways, in differing regions and continents, with different types of stills, and differing distillation methods, and differing aging. So Cognac is NOT the benchmark or marque. It's just a type of brandy, from a delineated region.
That's like comparing American whiskey to Scotch whisky to Irish whisky to Japanese whisky to Canadian whiskey to Indian whiskey. All are whiskey, but they taste and are made in very different ways.
Cachaca isn't brandy. It's a cane spirit, in the rum'esque category.
re: JMF
COGNAC: (from the above Wiki link
)" Varieties of wine brandy can be found across the wine making world.
" Among the most renowned are Cognac and Armagnac from Southern France. "
Most would agree with that quote, and usually that is the definition of a marque or bench mark in any product, but apparently you do not. That is your opinion, of course.
Moving on:
" Pisco is a strong, colourless to amber-coloured brandy produced in specific regions of Chile and Peru."
" By volume Pisco is the largest selling brandy worldwide. "
Your comment:
" Cachaca isn't brandy. It's a cane spirit, in the rum'esque categor. "
Actually, I never stated it was a brandy. If you care to, please read my comments again for accuracy.
By the way, Cachaça is not vaguely " rhum-esque" as you describe. Factually, and specifically Cachaça IS defined and classified as rum that is a distinctive product of Brazil, manufactured in Brazil in compliance with the laws of Brazil regulating the manufacture of Cachaça for consumption in that country.
Perhaps you are not familiar with EU regulations on the definition of fruit brandy, and rum, which is different from US classifications. I can send you the link in the available languages, if you like.
For better accuracy in the US, you might care to peruse:
US Title 27: Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms
Accurate US legal definitions and classifications are all there.
re: SWISSAIRE
Actually I am quite aware of all the regulations regarding spirits, US, EU, worldwide, etc. I may get a minor detail wrong off the top of my head, but I would, and have done so many times, state I wasn't sure. If you really want to get into a know-it-all argument about spirits, I am more than willing. But really, why waste our time? I do this for a living. Do you?
Wikipedia isn't the best source to quote since it is a user based site. I can go into wiki and make any changes I want, factual, or not so.
Above you quote:
COGNAC: (from the above Wiki link)" Varieties of wine brandy can be found across the wine making world. " Among the most renowned are Cognac and Armagnac from Southern France. "
You state, "Most would agree with that quote, and usually that is the definition of a marque or bench mark in any product, but apparently you do not. That is your opinion, of course."
Actually I strongly disagree. I use the actual definition, when I refer to something, not an assumed one.
Renowned doesn't mean or equate to benchmark. From Merriam-Webster: Renowned means, "widely acclaimed and highly honored." Benchmark means a standard of measurement. As in "something that serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged." Marque means, "a brand or make of a product." It doesn't mean a style, such as Cognac or Armagnac.
A specific brand of Cognac can be a benchmark for Cognac. A specific brand of Armagnac can be a benchmark for Armagnac. A French brandy cannot be a benchmark for Spanish brandies. A French brandy cannot be a benchmark for Pisco. They are different types and styles of brandy. It's like saying Valencia oranges are the benchmark for citrus.
Here is your direct quote from above, "French-style brandies in South America? By my experience, no. At risk of being declared persona non grata, and denied re-entry to Peru or Brasil, Pisco and oak-aged Cachaça sit in my hutch as a popular spirit for guests, but don't measure up to the French category." (ie, brandy.)
You are talking about brandy in that quote. You include cachaca in the same sentence as pisco. You do not in any way refer to cachaca as anything other than brandy. You do not refer to cane based spirits of any kind.
Brazil has set up legislation that cachaca is not, in fact, rum, but a separate, distinctive, product. "In the United States cachaça is recognized as a distinctive Brazilian product by signing an agreement with Brazil" [Not the best quote, since it is from wiki... ;-)> ] and so I use the term rum-esque, which is more appropriate. Just like how Rhum agricole from Martinique has its own "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" to separate it from molasses based rums. Merriam-Webster changed their definition and it now reads, "a Brazilian liquor distilled from sugarcane " But, i'll even quote wiki, " a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice." and "Cachaça, like rum, has two varieties: unaged (white) and aged (gold)." You see, wiki evens says, "like rum", it does not say rum. Referencing cachaca as a rum is out of date.
re: JMF
Not according to the US definition and standard.
Both the United States, and the EU do not as yet subscribe or accept the Brasilian definition and classification of Cachaça. I quite frankly wish both did.
Under the government of Lula, the previous President of Brasil, there were repeated attempts beginning with former US President George Bush, to have the US agree to it's definition, and reduce the taxation on US imports to Zero. As yet that has not happened, and the effort continues under the current government in Brasil of Dilma Rousseff.
Cachaça, is not a brandy. Pisco clearly is. Both are popular drinks, native to Latin America, specifically Brasil, Peru, and Chile. Neither, in context to the question of " are there French style " brandy, is a French style brandy, or measures up to the question posted by the OP.
Again, "rhum-esque" is not accurate under US Title 27. There is no such classification, other than " Cachaça is a rum... " Would Cognac-esque, or Armagnac-esque be accurate and acceptable definitions ? Hardly.
It is rum by classification.
It may be out of date in your opinion, but currently that is the US law and the correct US definition.
re: SWISSAIRE
The TTB BAM / US Title 27 hasn't been edited and changed since 2006, released 5/2007, with no major changes since several releases before that. From discussions with several TTB agents, there will be a breakdown by type in several spirits that haven't before over the coming years. One is cane spirits being further categorized as Agricultural and Industrial, ie. cane juice and molasses. And for "appellation control" such as those rhum agricole from Martinique or national distinction such as Cachaca from Brazil, and others. It was back in, I think, 1968, where rum was all lumped into one category by the US in the BAM. that's when categories like"New England Rum" disappeared.
Cachaca isn't presently even referred to in the TTB BAM.
But to go back... you never addressed your using cachaca in the same sentence as brandy. Did you just make a mistake? Otherwise I don't understand.
re: JMF
" Cachaca isn't presently even referred to in the TTB BAM." ?
Once again:
US Title 27: Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms
" (f) Class 6; rum. "Rum" is an alcoholic distillate from the fermented juice of sugar cane, sugar cane syrup, sugar cane molasses, or other sugar cane by-products, produced at less than 190° proof in such manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to rum, and bottled at not less than 80° proof; and also includes mixtures solely of such distillates.
(1) "Cachaça" is rum that is a distinctive product of Brazil, manufactured in Brazil in compliance with the laws of Brazil regulating the manufacture of Cachaça for consumption in that country. The word "Cachaça" may be spelled with or without the diacritic mark (i.e., "Cachaça" or "Cachaca").
Seems to be pretty clear reading.
Monday here and the start of a new work week.
re: SWISSAIRE
Sorry, I just wanted to see how much research you were going to do in your arguments.
You still have completely avoided why you included cachaca when you were talking about brandy...
re: JMF
Susan's original question " is there anything made in (say) Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Argentina which comes close to the quality of French brandy? "
My answer is that there are popular spirit drinks made in Latin America ( which I described ), but none qualifies as A French style Brandy.
If you like to dissect these into three posts as a rebuttal, that is your choice.
Next ?
re: SWISSAIRE
Umm - a nice pork pie could come close to the quality of French brandy, but I'd hardly suggest that citing it would be responsive to Susan's question. Now, you two need to quit squabbling over semantics.
re: kagemusha49
Kagemusha, I agree.
This unfortunately is not the first time.
Someone here is being more Pedantic than Semantic.
And taking away from Susan's original post.
re: SWISSAIRE
Someone is caught in a tight, narrow, mind frame, and unaccepting of the wide styles of the subject of brandy. As well as the ability to address their mistakes.
re: SWISSAIRE
This is a rum turn of events and why don't you two take a deep breath an put this spat down to a rum figure of speech. You're starting to scare the visitors. BTW the last time I was in France I picked up a bottle of Calvados - I forget which brand - and I swear it tasted rather like cognac - not a hint of apple.
re: kagemusha49
And I recently had a pear "calvados" that tasted more like apple than their regular calvados....

A number of state lawmakers are pushing a bill in effort to prevent a form of child abuse that leads to brain damage and even death.
The Prevent Violence Against Children Act will promote prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome. It results when a parent or caregiver violently shakes or throws an infant.
With lifetime healthcare costs estimated at $1 million, Shaken Baby Syndrome is not only devastating, but expensive.
"This figure does not include costs for family sick leave or mental health care for the victim's family members," says bill sponsor Sen. Julie Lassa.
The proposal would require that all new parents receive information and view a video tape on Shaken Baby Syndrome prevention.
It would also include prevention education in school districts. Each year in Wisconsin alone around 50 babies are known to be victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome.

Armstrong Watson takes over rival accountancy firm
Published at 15:26, Friday, 07 December 2012
Accountancy firm Armstrong Watson has taken over the Penrith office of one of its competitors, O'Reilly Chartered Accountants.
Armstrong Watson already has a Penrith office, next door to O'Reilly in Duke Street.
Sixteen staff from O'Reilly joined Armstrong Watson at the end of last week.
The enlarged Penrith operation is headed by Armstrong Watson's Margaret Hill and Steve Pinguey who are both partners in the firm.
Mrs Hill said: "O'Reilly is an incredibly well respected firm locally and the combination of our skills will continue to strengthen Armstrong Watson's position in Penrith and Cumbria.
"Combining two offices will see a greater potential to deliver our services to current and future clients.
"Our sector specialisms will benefit from the synergies of our combined professional team allowing us to provide businesses with sound financial advice."
Armstrong Watson, which is based in Carlisle, acquired O'Reilly's Carlisle office last year.
The acquisition of Penrith means that O'Reilly no longer has a presence in Cumbria although it still has branches in North Yorkshire.

Ya, B4 was fully prepped. I've only washed the Sbish once, but used an ish-ton of lanolin. Nothing over the wool. It wasn't a little leak. It was a "wake up in a puddle" leak. I've used the exact combo before with no problem. I think she may have just peed a whole lot last night? I just can't imagine it though. That combo is pretty beefy.

Yeah, I am at a loss with this one. I would think that combo would work (scratching head). Does she nurse during the night? I think I would try lanolizing again and maybe add a hemp doubler.

I am a vegetarian but I made this for my fiancee who loved it. I did a few things different. I got the bacon wrapped fillets and took off the bacon and cut them in half through the middle. I also added more salt and pepper to the top of the fillets when cooking them so they had more flavor. I added blue cheese on the top and put a little more than the recipe called for. This went over really well with my fiancee, he was literally praising it the whole time he ate it. He liked it so much he ate all of it in one sitting. Very easy to cook and clean and apparently really tasty!
Seared Steaks with Caramelized Onions & Gorgonzola
From EatingWell: November/December 2008
In our humble opinion, steak is best topped with sweet caramelized onions and salty Gorgonzola cheese. We recommend seeking out good-quality Gorgonzola for the best flavor, but any will work. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots.
17 Reviews for Seared Steaks with Caramelized Onions & Gorgonzola
There should be a sixth star for Sublime! Well, the steak, anyway. The carmelized onions were too sweet for my taste. Next time no sugar, just balsamic vinegar.
I wrote about this recipe on my "Eating the Rainblow Blog" at http://superfoodsyear.blogspot.com/2010/05/barbecue-season-is-here.html
It was great! I used the bacon wrapped Fillet Mignon (not so healthy...). I also added some mushrooms. I didn't cook the onion long enough but it was still nice and tender.
The steak had no flavor at all. I think next time I'm going to marinade my steak how I usually do it and add the onions and cheese. The onions had such great flavor, and the blue cheese worked well with the steak and the onions. I just think there needs to be more flavor in the steak.
9 comments
Loved it! Didn't use brown sugar. I like to use the natural sugar of the onion to caramelize the onion. Steak was cooked perfectly to mid rare. Awesome!

The Genoa, Harris-Elmore and Woodville libraries have prepared reading programs to inspire their communities to read during the summer months. This year's theme is Science and Discovery. The libraries have programs for every age group.
The children's program is called Fizz, Boom, Read. Genoa and Elmore's program, which began June 9, will end July 31 and is for ages 3-12. Woodville's program began June 2 and July 26 and is for grades kindergarten to sixth. Both programs keep track of how many hours a child reads and they will be rewarded according to their amount of reading.
This year's teen program is entitled Spark a Reaction. The Genoa and Elmore program will take place between June 16 and July 28 and is for ages 10-19. The Woodville library's program runs from June 2 to July 26 and is for grades 7-12. Teens also have the opportunity of participating in an online book club. A new book is read each month and is discussed on the online discussion boards.
The adult program is titled Literary Elements. The program's participants are required to read a book and submit a review for the Woodville program or fill out a coupon for the Genoa and Elmore programs to become eligible to win a prize. The Elmore and Genoa program began June 9 and runs to July 31 and the Woodville program began June 2 and runs to July 26.
For more information about these programs visit your local libraries or go online to http://harriselmorelibrary.org/ for information on Genoa and Elmore programs or http://www.birchard.lib.oh.us/ for information on Woodville programs. (— by Window To Woodmore staff writer, Julianna Icsman)

This is an adorable 9.5" tall Bluette size 1 Jumeau bebe doll with her original cork pate, brown human hair wig, earrings, dress, underwear, socks and shoes. She is a tick mark Jumeau, with the number 1 and makers tick marks on the back of the head. This little darling has blue glass sleep eyes in original set. They still have the original eyelashes too. The mouth is open cut showing a row of tiny white upper teeth. The body has the word 'Jumeau' scratched into the back. The shoes are marked on the soles with pair of shoes, JJ Trademark.
Condition: This doll has a hairline that runs from the rim down to her left eyebrow - see photos. There is also a very tiny line on the back of the head at the rim which I suspect is a manufacturing flaw.
She isn't quite perfect, but she is a cute little bon bon never the less. Her little imperfection makes her far more affordable.

Attaining the money it takes to invest into ideas and launch them into the phases of prototypes and searching for investors is hard work, and not achieved by many. But 3D printing has helped change that reality for many inventors and aspiring entrepreneurs. Wes Kouba from Dallas, TX had his great idea four years ago after a record breaking, devastating tornado tore through Tuscaloosa, AL, leaving many trapped in storm shelters with three feet of debris on top of them. Wes wondered if there was a solution that allowed shelter and safety, without leaving people trapped underground.
