Earth to AnnabyNeonurotic©
"Yes, yes it is."
"I wish there was something that I could do to make you feel at ease. Or do I make you nervous?" he said, losing his grin. "Or maybe you don't want me as I want you, like I thought you did―hoped you did."
Anna felt anxious that he'd leave. "While I do feel nervous, it's not because of you or what you're thinking," she went back outside, stepping closer to him. "I want you too."
"Listen Anna, I'm not like those kids that bullied you in school. There isn't anything in me that is cruel like those boys you used to know. I'm much more mature than them, I'm thirty-two and have responsibilities with my family's home building business doing the landscaping."
"Oh," she said in surprise, he guessed her issues. She misjudged him and found she could trust him too. "Well, I—"
"We have things in common," he interrupted. "And that's what's over there. It's a greenhouse with plants you'll be interested in for Earthlinger."
Now she felt embarrassed. "Greenhouse?" she asked weakly, realizing that he wanted her for a friend and not a lover." She pulled her kimono closed, "Sure okay, I'd like to see it. Let me put some clothes on."
Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and swung her up into his arms, "Oh, I want that with you too," he laughed, carrying her down the deck stairs over to his side of duplex.
Anna giggled, "I can walk." She did feel comfortable with him.
"I'm sure you can, but it's more fun this way."
# # # #
Seeing Anna up close like this and holding her was more than Jase had hoped, for it to happen so soon. He thought it would take a long time to convince her. Perhaps she was ready for a change and trusting him would be her first step. If that were so then he would make sure it was worth letting him into her life.
Around the corner he set her down on the stone walk then opened the greenhouse door. "All for you, what do you think?"
Without hesitation, she entered the greenhouse, looked around. She gave a yelp of excitement seeing certain hard to find perennials, ones with vibrant colors he knew she searched for in vain.
"I really can't believe all this. This is amazing, really," she smiled, eyes widening as she picked up a butter yellow mountain top shrub. "How did you get this?"
"Ochre Sungazier Officinalis, a Golden Sugazer. Trust me, it was hard to find," he recalled a cliff stubbornly rooted and him acquiring it with rocks falling into deep canyon. "It's an obstinate little shrub."
"Yes it is," she laughed, setting the plant down. "This is all for me? Why?
"Yes, for you and I don't really know why other then wanting to do something for you, get to know you. As I said, I like you and the word 'like' is such an inadequate word for I feel about you."
"You hardly know me."
"I know you more than you think. We have common ground. I think I'm starting to understand and really do have something to share with you."
"I can see that. Are you a stalker?" she teased.
"Maybe, but I'm yours and harmless."
"Yes," she smiled invitingly. "Just so you know, I want more than a show this time." Anna dropped her robe.
Jase stared―feasting on her nakedness then joined her, stripping off his t-shirt. He took her in his arms for a bare chest to breast embrace. Holding her tight, felt the rapid beats of their hearts. With one hand, he undid his pants, letting the drop. His cock butted against her stomach as he held her tighter and kissed her. Her lips were a cool in contrast with her hot mouth of which his tongue explored. He tasted sweetness, a dewy spring morning—her innocence.
Then he found she really was.
Anna whispered into their kiss, "Just so you know, I'm a virgin."
Stopping, he looked into her eyes―they were dark pools of desire. He wasn't entirely surprised with the bullying she suffered. Of course she was a virgin. How else would she protect herself from the insults and assaults of her teenage years?
"I'll be so gentle you won't even realize when you're not," he touched her cheek, stroking it, trailing down to her breasts. He rubbed her nipples making them harder. "Then I'll have you again."
"God yes," she bit her lower lip. "Again and again."
Although trembling, she kissed him, causing him to also shiver along with her. Aroused beyond any time before this, he slipped down to his knees, tongue trailing the same path as hands had done then further, past the plane of her stomach to her hip bones, kissing them as well. A short tuft of blond hair protected her mound with an inviting fragrance. Petting her softly, he parted her fleshy lips, exposing her glistening sensitive center where the tip of his tongue licked the hood of her clit in long, lazy strokes.
"Ah, yes, yes...that's, god," moaning, her fingers wrapped in his hair. "That feels amazing."
# # # #
The sensation of his wet tongue sliding against her clit had her melting. It was so much better then touching herself. The silky light brown were like silky feathers in her hands as she tried not to be too forceful into showing him how much she liked what he was doing to her. Although he did get it, jabbed at her nub giving her a rhythmic pleasurable throb making her hips thrust to him each time his tongue let up.
"Oh, ohh," she moaned.
"You like this, huh?" he mumbled, laughing a vibrating thrill.
"Ya, god yes."
With excited little gasps, she knew there was no way she could hold back as she liked to do, delaying orgasm made for a more explosive one. She came before she knew it, going on tiptoe for how intense it was, which he followed, holding her as she climaxed
"Oh yes more," she called out greedily. "Give me more."
Jase's tongue stroked her until her spasms subsided. Though what she really wanted was more of him, to suck a real cock for the first time, specifically his. Standing, he gave her a long kiss with her flavor lingering in her mouth. Wanting to oblige him in return, she eagerly pushed him against the work bench where he potted plants. Surprise registered in his as her aggressiveness was unexpected as a virgin.
With his muscled ass against the bench, she leaned into him, leaving her own trail of kisses, though handling him first. The hard flesh she grasped confirmed what she suspected, he was larger than average, which gave her a slight tremor. As she snuffled in his salt tinged skin, she sighed reaching his maleness. Clear semen seeped making him slick for her touch.
Heat came off him in waves, making upper lip break out in beads of sweat, though mostly from nervousness. This moment would be a first for everything sexual since she had only ever read erotic stores and occasional videos on the web. Practicing giving head to a cucumber was nothing like a real cock except approximation of size she decided. With just the head, she took him into her mouth as she cupped his heavy, firm balls in one palm. The flavor was surprising appealing, definitely arousing. She gave him a tentative suck, swirling her tongue. Glancing to him, she saw a wide grin spread across his handsome face.
"That's it, babe," he nodded, encouraging her.
Anna grinned, she liked be called his babe. She licked the underside of his cock to the end in one long sweep, tongued the tip like he had done to her clit, paying attention to the oozing slit. He groaned his pleasure letting her know she was doing what he liked. With her free hand, she stroked the shaft from the base to where she lips wrapped around him.
"Ya, faster," Jase murmured, "Just like that."
Moving hand as he directed, she gave more pressure with her sucking. She did this for a while his hips flexed, straining until he made her stop. It was good he did as her mouth was tired from the effort to please him. Taking her hand, he pulled her to her feet then nuzzled her neck.
"You did so well I nearly came," he whispered into the crook of her neck. "Are you ready for more?
"Yes, very."
An erotic hot buzz pounded between her thighs, her juices made her slippery with need to have him. Nipping him on the shoulder, she moaned. He picked her up and turned, letting her recline on the bench with him between her wide open thighs. Even though she was already wet, he swirled his cock against her clit and spit on his palm, combining their lusty lubrication.
"Babe, the wetter, the better," he promised.
"I'm ready."
With gazes locked and his cock poised at her entrance, he slowly pressed into her. Never had she played with a dildo or any other sex implement had gone where he was, not even her own fingers. As he entered her, she felt the stretch to accommodate him and did hurt a little, but was more of burn.
"Are you all right?"
Anna winced, "Yes, but keep going, don't stop."
Bearing down like she read somewhere, she was able take his girth all the way. He paused here, grasped one of her ankles and wrapped it around his waist, prompting her to do the same.
Twitching his hips, he drew out an inch or two and pressed into her again, beginning his thrusts slowly. His thumb found her hard nub of flesh and caressed it sending hot exciting waves rolling throughout her body while he rocked against her. Although full of him, she squeezed since finally feeling pleasure replace the pain. She leaned onto her elbows, watching, fascinated with his thrusts, his cock disappearing and reappearing slick and wet.
"Masturbating is nice, but sex is better," she shivered.
"Yes it is," he laughed.
"Put me up against the wall and do me there."
Wrapping a strong arm around her waist, he did as she requested, pressing her into the class wall that was fogged with humidity. If anyone decided to come and visit Jase right now they'd see her butt cheeks mashed on the window. This image played in her mind and she giggled as he pinned her with slow, deep and relentless strokes.
"What's that babe?"
"Just having fun. God, this feels good."
"Mm-m," he agreed.
Unexpectedly, the timer on the misters turned on and a light rain, cool rain slicked their bodies. Slipping, he held her tighter. One hand at the small of her back with the other grasping her thigh and him pumping, pumping. The beginnings of another orgasm happened. She hadn't expected she would only have had them through stimulating her clit, but she was going to. The stroke of his cock nudged her ever closer, she squeezed those inner muscles she ignored for so long and the feeling strengthened. The sensation bloomed from within, slowly opening and unfurling from pussy to nipples, make them into points.
"God, I'm coming!" she called, not able to keep her grasp around his waist, she spread her thighs as he thrust through her orgasm. "Yes! Yes!"
Sliding against the wet glass and a slicker body, they went onto the ground, he still between her thighs. Jase increased the speed of his thrusts and her orgasm extended, flowing. Their sex sound wet, squelching with every drive then he went rigid, sucking in his breath and pinning her to the ground. He shuddered and also came.
"Damn, jeezus, ya," Jase groaned with after spasms.
Grinning, she said, "That was amazing."
"And hot."
"Oh ya."
"And wet," he rolled over onto his back laughing at the mist that coated them in a sheen.
"Amazingly hot and wet," she giggled.
"Anna, you had me going. I couldn't stop," he said trying to catch his breath.
"We'll be doing that again. It also means you'll have to cut the grass more often."
"Oh, definitely." Jase took a hold of her hand squeezed it, "Perish the thought the grass would grow an extra millimeter or so."
They laid there for awhile in relaxing silence. Giving him her virginity she realized was exactly what she needed to do. Jase had been her salve, kind and tender, obliterating every painful memory of high school. None of those boys had anything on him and most likely never would. Lost in thoughts of years ago, she watched a water drip fall from a hanging plant that landed squarely on her left nipple.
Jase licked the water off her nipple then asked, "Earth to Anna?"
"Mm, yes?"
"It's time to let go of the past and live."
"Oh, ya," she purred, reaching for him, wanting more of everything. "You're so right about that."
And so she did. She let go and decided to live and love, truly, deeply—starting with him.

Dear Editor:
I have prepared this letter in support of the reelection of Ken Fox to the LPEA Board of Directors. During his tenure, Mr. Fox has been an active participant in board activities and has always been ready to engage any of his neighbors and respond to questions about the utility. In an era when many electrical utilities are headlong adopting costly sources of alternative energy, Ken has always taken a balanced approach to exploiting proven sources of renewable energy while being ever mindful of maintaining economical rates for his neighbors. After almost seven years of economic hardship here in Archuleta County, the last thing we need is anyone who wants to crusade for green energy at the cost of our community's economic recovery.
Hence, I would like to urge my friends and neighbors to think about Ken's record and his vision for the future when you cast your LPEA ballot.
H. Pat Artis

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014My guests and I enjoyed a delicious lunch. The service was attentive, friendly and patient with us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor service, good food.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014I've asked to have no cheese, extra onion on my sandwich. The order came with lots of cheese and no onion! I didn't bother to ask for it to be replaced, as we are running out of time. The service has always been slow, so if you are in a rush, don't go there. On the other hand, the food is good. My short rib is juicy and the tomato garlic soup is so yummy!
- Excellent Food enjoyed lotttFoodLoverDined on 11/24/2014The pork shank was phenomenal. The meat was extremely tender and juicy. The interesting combination of pan-fried salmon with risotto was very well received. The salmon was crispy on the outside, yet slightly pink and soft inside, but the risotto was the best part with the Chef's special sauce. We ended up ordering an extra dish Halibut with crab with the wild mushroom risotto phenomenal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Night out with friendsrm57Dined on 11/22/2014Violino's never disappoints. Everybody ordered something different and we were all VERY pleased with our meals. From the melt in your mouth braised short ribs to the moist Alaskan halibut. Every special request was handled deftly by our waiter. My only caution would be to first time diners, the portion sizes are generous! Great way to start out our evening with our friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food & Great Serviceluv2DineandWineDined on 11/17/2014The food here is incredible, such a great variety done impeccably! Great service as well! Worth for your $$ Love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely eveningStAlbertFoodieDined on 11/14/2014My husband and I were looking for a nice place to have dinner, we were not disappointed. Great Food, lovely service and nice ambiance. We will be back :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Disappointment!BevfDined on 11/13/2014In fairness the Waiter comp'd my entree - which he had personally recommended - the short ribs were a disaster - chewy not fall apart like I expected. They certainly were not cooked for 8 hrs as was explained to me. Our Waiter also comp'd us a glass of sherry each and a shared dessert com'd for my disappointment. Our bread platter was left empty which we had finished after the appetizer was finished - and left empty on our table throughout the entire meal - even the Owner/Manager? who came over for a chit chat never removed it. My spouse's entree was good - he enjoyed the special of the day - a steak with crab. Our appetizer, which I was looking forward to - the Calamari - was chewy - and overcooked. Overall though, a disaster! We were given a beautiful table by the fire. We will try them again and see how it goes in the near future. Perhaps their head Chef wasn't in attendance the evening we were there.
- Nice ambience, average foodbitofafoodyDined on 11/8/2014This is the second time I have been to Violino and both times it didn't impress. The setting has a unique 'rustiqueness' about that is very warming, not too busy or loud. The service is also excellent and is a notable strength. Unfortunately the food lets the place down. There is a sense of anticipation when the food arrives, but on almost very occasion is let down by the lack of invention. The food is not 'special', its just 'OK'. Flavours are bland and presentation is average to good. The veal can be dry or too fatty, the seafood seemed straight out of the freezer and the salads a bit lifeless. Nothing exciting. Leaves you with a sense of I can do better in my own kitchen.Special Features:
- ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANT IN EDMluv2DineandWineDined on 11/4/20145 star food quality with good service. Varied menu with great food presentation. Atmosphere in restaurant seems to have changed from formal dining to more casual. Beautiful room, tables spaced far apart.Look like 100 years for the mansion,Highly Recommended this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very pricey but enjoyed it.foodiechickDined on 10/31/2014Dinner for two was $120 not including tip. Would go back but it's one of those places to save for a special occasion! Hubby loved the osso Bucco. I'm a vegetarian. Would love to have had more choices for myself. Even the pasta dishes had meat or seafood and the waiter did not even offer to try to make something without meat so I had the risotto of the day (primavera) which was so-so and $24!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pizza PlusTwinTurboDined on 10/24/2014My dining companion and I each ordered a pizza on our recent outing to Violino. They did not disappoint - two large fragrant pies were presented to us on huge wooden serving board. We valiantly consumed half of our pizzas - portions so generous that we had leftovers for snacks later. Two huge groups were there and they detracted somewhat from the atmosphere but good for the restaurant to be getting noticed and booked like this.Special Features:
- Great!BiMaDined on 10/18/2014The food was enjoyable, but it was the waiter that made it a fantastic experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely room for dinner or lunchTwinTurboDined on 10/17/2014We love Violino. There is a lot of history with this place and we don't want to abandon independent restaurants in our community that are clearly making a big effort as Violino does. Our service was hampered by the surprisingly large turnout on Friday evening. The lovely and very comfortable dining room was buzzing and there were only two servers, so we applaud their efforts to provide attentive and customized attention to the many tables in the room. One of our dining companions ordered the shrimp pasta dish with Sambuca cream sauce and this was the standout dish of the evening. Adding a third server for the Friday evening rush would not seem too outlandish an idea, in our opinion. We'll keep coming back.Special Features:
- Fine Italian Dining at its Best !!!foodiesinedmontonDined on 10/16/2014We are regulars at Violino, and love it for the great quality of ingredients, professional servers, beautiful dining room, and top notch chefs. The food is always delicious, and flavorful! Our favorite dishes are the ceasar salad, fettuccine,Short Rib, and Halibut topped with Crab, and of course, the tiramisu! Highly Recommend this place !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service and Gourmet. .what a findLipstickandtripsDined on 10/10/2014Back for the 4th time in a few years and again not disappointed. Quaint and delicious. .but it was the professional service. The waiters are not part time students nor cutety short mini skirts. In this classy unrushed atmosphere. ..a 1 hour dinner turned into a 2 hr event with great friendsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Food - Wonderful EveningLori9199Dined on 10/8/2014We were looking forward to an evening out with old friends - somewhere with a great ambience to be able to visit but more importantly we were looking for great food. This was our first time to Violino and we were impressed !! From the moment that you walk into the restaurant, it has a good vibe about it and smells heavenly. Service was professional and at the proper pace. The menu was unique without being to fancy and the presentation of the plates was beautiful. What a treasure to find this neighbourhood gem - perfect evening out for all of us !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/4/2014I would not rate our Experience at Violino Gastronomia as very good. We booked well in advance we were seated at a table for 4, which would of been nice if you did'nt want to sit near your guest. It was our First Time there, there was only 1 Waiter for the entire area and I'm not sure if he was also the manager ??? Needless to stay the atomshere was lacking. The food was o'k. Maybe a second chance is in the Future can't say for sure. Will try the Manor next door next time.Special Features:

- Lovely evening...FooooodDined on 9/27/2014We were celebrating a lot of milestones in our relationship and the server made our night exceptional. The food was fantastic and we were greatly impressed. Ambiance was quiet and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good night out with great food. For apps we ordered the bruschetta and olive tapenade; I really enjoyed the tapenade and he thought the bruschetta was one of the best things he'd ever eaten. I ordered the special pasta, black and white linguini with seafood in tomato sauce. The pasta sauce was a little on the sweet side but still really delicious.

- great food!larsloDined on 9/26/2014Have been here a few times. Food was fantastic! Ambience is okay. Furniture is dated. Wait staff a little rough around the edges but attentive. Food came out in a timely fashion. Good value for the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice ambiencekyewVIPDined on 9/25/2014This is second time I have visited in a week. Still love the calamari and the oil dip for the bread. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was such a huge serving - it could have fed 4 persons . I find that when I see that much food on a plate, it completely takes my appetite away!!! We had leftovers the next night- I added more cheese and sauce and it was delicious!! My husband had the veal chop and he said it was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gemWilliamHDined on 9/24/2014Exceptional ambiance, food, service. Not the least expensive, but quality. Surprised was not on radar sooner. Definitely recommend for fine causal dining or special occasion.Special Features:
- Fantastic Food/ExperienceCBfoodieDined on 9/20/2014We dined at Violino's for my fiance's birthday on the 20th of September. Our server was fantastic, and the food was delicious. We split the crab cakes and starter caesar salad for an appetizer, both phenomenal. He had the bacon wrapped filet for his entre which he said was the best steak he ever had. I had the penne papperdelle which was so fresh and full of flavor. For dessert, they brought out the tiramisu cake on the house for my fiance's birthday, to die for! Overall great experience and we will definitely return.Special Features:
- Deserving of moreTwinTurboDined on 9/18/2014Violino is a great spot. I love the level of comfort and sophistication in this dining room. Richly upholstered hairs and real linens for lunch is a treat. The lunch specials are uniformly delicious and the server, James, was attentive, pleasant and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious - even decadent - to the point that I could have skipped dinner. This is one of the best value restaurants in the city, particularly when one considers the setting and generosity of the place.Special Features:
- Superb Food & Wine herefoodiesinedmontonDined on 9/17/2014Our food & wine, service & atmosphere were all beyond our expectations. Absolutely nothing compares to violino in this town. Dont forget to try there chefs specials and tiramisu ! Highly recommended !!Special Features:
- Needs improvementOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/17/2014The service was slow and a tad too casual. Waiters needed grooming. Food was fine but way overpriced for what it was, particularly the seafood starter. I had a $20 discount coupon which when I initially presented it appeared to be valid but when the bill came, it was not. This place needs a real professional uplift if they intend on marketing it as an upscale Italian restaurant.
- Great Diner With Friends.JohnVIPDined on 9/16/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Violino with our friends.We enjoined the food and service and on top of that we got the half price wine .Great Restaurant.Special Features:
- great service at restaurantkyewVIPDined on 9/11/2014We had a pleasant evening here. I would definitely go back for the calamari. It was delicious. Probably one of the tastiest I have ever had. Our waiter raved about the short ribs, so I ordered them. They were very tough and "not fall off the bone tender". I had difficulty cutting them. However, there were a lot of things on the menu that I would go back and try. Their dip for bread was amazing. Ambience was very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great find!GpilotDined on 9/9/2014I dont often write reviews but this restaurant deserves it. The service was fabulous. Attentive but not overbearing, humorous and accommodating. Food was fabulous and reasonably priced for offerings. As someone who is sensitive to loud restaurants, this was a perfect mix of background noise and music. Highly recommended for those looking for something higher scale for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Violino Always impressesfoodiesinedmontonDined on 9/4/2014I just wished to pass on the comment from our son, after eating at Violino Gastronomia: He said: "That is the best meal in a restaurant that I have ever had", and Thanked us for taking him to experience such a lovely dinner there. It was great experience we have in violino.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Nice Italian mealTravelDinerDined on 8/29/2014This was my second visit to Violino- the first 2 years ago. The food was still very good with generous portions. The noise level seemed quite high and unfortunately I was seated beside the door to the outdoor patio and was hit frequently by severs and patrons and was very cool as the door was often left open. The only downside to a lovely evening.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014I had not been to the restaurant in a long time and never for lunch. I wanted a relaxing setting for a leisurely lunch and thus proved to be an excelleny choice. My friend felt the same and we both decided that we would return.

- AnniversaryCoupleDined on 8/13/2014Had the occassion to celebrate 26th wedding anniversary with my wife & adult children... the food was impeccable and ambiance of the patio spectacular. Our server was James, and from start to finish, he was extremely competent, frliendly and welcoming. After dining (I will say my "short rib" diinner was fantastic) we did not order dessert, however James saw to the delivery of a delicious tiramasu platter decorated with the message "Happy Anniversary" & accompanied by ice-wine to finish. All combined, server to kitchen well deserving and so tipped at 20%. Thank you Violino for wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ouch. Enological grammar, spelling and usage can be tricky business
Posted: October 2, 2012 By Robert Taylor
When "normal" people think of wine experts, occasionally a few unsavory words come to mind: Geek. Snob. Bibulous fusspot. Coincidentally, those same words are commonly associated with another profession: Copy editor.
Imagine, then, the frustrations of the copy-editing wine pro. As someone who has copy edited professionally for more than a dozen years and has been a member of the Wine Spectator editorial staff for nearly 10, it's my pleasure to present here a few of the myriad misused terms in the wine industry. Hopefully we can all learn a little, laugh a little and lift each other's wine language skills.

The evolution of the most important wine-industry innovation in nearly 150 years
Posted: September 18, 2012 By Robert Taylor
The Northern Hemisphere harvest begins this month, and in the vast, vast majority of the world's vineyards, it starts with a heavy machinery operator turning the ignition on a mechanical grape harvester.
Many wine lovers might imagine—or might prefer—a scenario that involved skilled harvesters gently selecting the very best bunches of grapes, all by hand. But the half-dozen experts I polled—including industry insiders, vintners and mechanical harvester operators—conceded that 90 percent or more of the world's wine grapes are likely harvested mechanically.
If you're interested in the intersection of quality and value, you should be grateful.

An embargo has changed the way the small former Soviet nation's wines are made, for the better, but will its impending lift reverse all that?
Posted: September 4, 2012 By Robert Taylor
You may have noticed it's an election year, not just here but around the world. Of all the recent campaigns, I was particularly captivated by the one in Russia. The return to power of Vladimir Putin-who remains a regular headliner in the news-got me thinking about the wines of the old Soviet Bloc.
The former U.S.S.R. once had a booming wine industry, much of it in what is now the Republic of Georgia. Even after Georgia declared independence in 1991, almost all of its wine was exported to Russia, but that ended in 2006 when Russia placed an embargo on Georgian wine and mineral water. Russia claimed the Georgian products were of such poor quality that they could no longer be accepted. However, the embargo also happened to coincide with Georgia's announced intentions to join NATO (which doesn't exactly always share Russian interests) and a 2006 espionage controversy, in which Georgia very publicly arrested four Russian officers and charged them with spying.
That all turned out to be a good thing for those of us who love undiscovered—and undervalued—wines.

Exploring the restaurants of New York's underappreciated borough
Posted: August 21, 2012 By Robert Taylor
With the amount of time I spend at Citi Field each summer, I've come to learn the restaurants along the No. 7 train through Queens fairly well. As decent as the ballpark's food is, sometimes you want to stop at a real restaurant (or just pick up one of the city's best Cubanos on the way home).
All-Time N.L. East villain John Rocker certainly didn't mean it nicely when he commented to Sports Illustrated about the diversity along the No. 7 train, but it's wonderfully true that there are myriad ethnic cuisines and exciting restaurants to be found along every turn and stop of the subway ride from Manhattan to Citi Field (and beyond).
My favorite restaurant in Queens, just one stop from Manhattan, is Tournesol, an authentically French restaurant with affordable prices and a solid wine list. I'm also including a run-down of some of my other Queens' top draws on the way to or from the game.

Evaluating ballpark dining during a weekend Phillies-Mets series
Posted: August 7, 2012 By Robert Taylor
It ain't easy being Philly in New York. As a Philadelphia sports fan, I accept that I face harassment from the locals. And as a Phillies fan in particular, I hear it pretty regularly from my diehard Mets fan colleagues. But the Phillies come to town frequently, and I've braved the hostile confines of Citi Field in Queens for a few games so far this season. I was also there to check back on the wine and food offerings of Citi Field, where restaurateur and recent Wine Spectator cover boy Danny Meyer runs most of the operation. For denizens of the "nose-bleed seats," there's the upper-deck wine bar, or for more high-end bottlings, the Delta Sky360 Club. And of the dining spots, two of my favorites are Catch of the Day and El Verano Taquería.

Ottawa – Despite a more optimistic outlook for exports, Canada's economy is expected to grow just 2.3% this year, according to The Conference Board of Canada's Canadian Outlook: Winter 2014.
"Export and business investment growth were subpar in 2013. But with growing demand from the US and a weaker Canadian dollar, export volumes and investment will see stronger growth and, as a result, overall economic activity will pick up," said Pedro Antunes, deputy chief economist. "However, modest spending by Canadians and fiscal constraints by governments in order to return to fiscal balance will keep the economy from fully capitalizing on the rebound in exports."
As the federal and most provincial governments reduce their deficits, the public sector is expected to contribute little to economic growth. Real government spending on public services and infrastructure will increase by only 0.5% this year before accelerating by 1% in 2015.
For consumers, low interest rates and soft price inflation are helping to sustain spending despite modest labour income growth in 2014. However, spending on big ticket items, such as cars and home furnishings, will moderate next year as financing costs start to edge up. Real household spending is forecast to grow by about 2.3% per year this year and next.
Although Canada's export volumes posted only modest gains in the second half of 2013, the growing strength of the US economy should boost trade over the next two years. Following growth of 1.3% last year, total exports are forecast pick up in 2014 with growth of 3.4%, followed by 4.2% growth in 2015.
Despite its recent depreciation, the Canadian dollar remains a relatively strong currency thanks to solid commodity prices and Canada's relatively good economic performance. "We expect the dollar to remain at or above the 90 cent range throughout the forecast," said Antunes.
Along with exports, business investment is expected to pick up this year and in 2015, bolstered by spending in machinery and equipment. Following growth of just 1.1% in 2013, business investment is projected to increase by 3.1% this year.

For retired runners, this bunch of greyhound dogs is pretty laid back. In fact, they rarely make a sound, enjoying the peace of life outside the tracks.
Jo Lowery owns two greyhounds and was surprised at how relaxed these athletes really are.
"They're just so mellow. You wouldn't think they are, but they are."
Another owner, Gisela Harper, is quick to point out these dogs that once lived and breathed life at the race tracks did not take long to accustom to a life on the sidelines.
"They make wonderful pets. They're not boisterous and they're not watchdogs. They're couch potatoes for sure."
Adjusting from racing to home life does come easy, but finding homes for them isn't as easy.
Charlie Tuller with Greyhound Pets of America Emerald Coast says about 10 to 20 greyhounds are available for fostering or adoption on a regular basis.
"Fostering is the transition of a dog from the kennel/track environment into a home environment. It's a lot of fun because it's the first time a dog has actually had the chance to be in a home, so there's a little bit of socializing."
And when the races began, a glimpse of an old life, these animals prove sometimes retirement can be a very good thing.
For more information about fostering or adopting, you can visit the Greyhound Pets of America Emerald Coast website at www.gpaec.com.

Norway Assists Malawians Affected By Hunger Due To Poor Harvest
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Published on 21 March 2014
LILONGWE – The Kingdom of Norway has contributed more than US$7.9 million (approximately MK 3.3 billion) to support vulnerable families suffering the effects of poor harvests in Malawi this year.
Norway's contribution to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) comes in response to last year's Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee report that estimated more than 1.85 million people are in need of food assistance during the current 'lean season'.
WFP's relief programme provides assistance to those most unable to meet their daily food needs in 24 affected districts nationwide.
Apart from being used to buy food commodities, Norway's contribution is funding cash transfers in areas where market conditions allow, and helping to cover the transport and distribution costs of Malawi Government-donated 26000 metric tonnes of maize.
"Norway is pleased to be able to fund humanitarian operations in Malawi," says Norwegian ambassador to Malawi, Asbjørn Eidhammer. "However, we note with concern that Malawian agriculture remains vulnerable to changes in weather patterns. Most of our work in agriculture is, therefore, geared towards helping smallholders adopt climate-smart farming technologies. WFP's policy of procuring as much food as possible from local producers provides smallholders with a market and encourages them to increase their productivity."
A previous contribution in 2012 from Norway of US$7.5 million helped WFP provide supplementary feeding to 160,000 malnourished children and women, enabling WFP to respond to malnutrition levels that have increased by one third since the lean season started in October.
Norway's approach to hunger includes a focus on resilience-building designed to help smallholder farmers become more self-sufficient. To this end, Norway has contributed US$10 million to fund a climate adaptation programme in Africa.
Malawi and Tanzania have been chosen to 'pilot' the programme, which is being implemented under the Global Framework for Climate Services. As one of the implementing partners, WFP will strengthen the use of climate and weather information to support food security and nutrition, both at the national and community levels including through the 31 Farmers Organizations WFP Malawi is working with through its Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative.
Through P4P, WFP Malawi has facilitated market access for 24,000 smallholder farmers over the past five years by purchasing directly from them as well as through the African Commodity Exchange and the Warehouse Receipt System. Since 2009, WFP has purchased more than 57,000 metric tonnes of food commodities worth US$19.8 million through its P4P programme in Malawi.
"We look forward to a continued strong partnership with Norway to help build food and nutrition security in Malawi," says WFP Representative Coco Ushiyama. "Together, we recognize the importance of both meeting immediate food and nutrition needs, and also of continuing to invest in critical interventions that build long-term resilience."
Norway has contributed more than US$22 million to WFP's operations in Malawi during the last decade.

We've often dreamed about having a permanent holiday, but short of winning the lottery it's not really a viable option. Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof appear to be trying to test that theory with their current vacay in Los Angeles where they've been hanging out by the pool of the Roosevelt Hotel with One Direction hunk Harry Styles, attending award show after-parties with Kelly Osbourne and going to gigs with singer Remi Nicole.
Apart from an injury that Alexa sustained on a hike to the city's iconic Griffith Observatory and a shopping trip with Rita Ora that ended in a paparazzi scrum, the trip has been a chillaxed affair - leaving us with a severe case of Insta-envy. Pixie's These New Puritans boyfriend - and Suki Waterhouse's Burberry Brit Rhythm co-star - George Barnett has now joined the trio in La La Land for lunches at legendary venues like Chateau Marmont and The Beverley Hills Hotel.
Pixie Geldof / Instagram
Geldof's dog Busta is also along for the ride (we'd love to see that puppy passport), but was left at home when the gang hit a karaoke bar where Remi and Alexa belted out Natalie Imbuglia's classic track Torn before rolling around on the floor in a fit of giggles. These gals sure know how to have fun! They've been in town for three weeks now and Alexa looks so at home in the Hollywood hills we're wondering if she would consider relocating from New York City.
Meanwhile Rihanna is still in Brazil and still in a bikini, natch.
Take a look at the top Instagram pics of the day in the gallery above...

Region: Long Beach
Paper Planes are the Long Beach band with their own idiosyncratic version of outlaw country and raw rock 'n' roll, with the rock 'n' roll part going all the way back to the days when the first electric guitar crawled out of that primordial swamp. They've got a new album cooking up now and the newest teaser tracks they posted present Paper Planes sounding especially wild and riled. This time around, there's a little Replacements, a little Only Ones, a lot of the Dolls and Stones on a rocker called "Sister" and then—get ready to dig this big crux—a cover of the Minutemen's "Political Song For Michael Jackson To Sing," delivered energetically and faithfully until the guitar solo where they just go wild. Catch them when they roll out for shows like this because they always come up with something special.

Singapore shuttlers unscathed in Vietnam badminton hall ceiling collapse
- POSTED: 04 Sep 2014 07:24
Players at Ho Chi Minh tournament had walked off court moments before the roof caved in.
SINGAPORE: Loh Kean Yew was thanking his lucky stars on Tuesday (Sep 2), after the Singapore national badminton player escaped unscathed after a section of ceiling at the Phan Dinh Phung Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City fell.
The 17-year-old was playing his first-round match against Vietnam's Nguyen Hoang Nam in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Grand Prix tournament when the umpire stopped play to alert both players to the impending danger.
Players on the next court had walked off after bits of the ceiling sprinkled down and cracking sounds were heard.
Moments later, a large section of the ceiling came crashing down.
"I was at Court 1, the middle court," Kean Yew told TODAY. "The Court 2 players had stopped playing after fragments fell from the ceiling, so we took it as a warning that something was going to happen."
A video taken by Kean Yew's team-mate Terry Hee, which went viral on social media, showed a crack in the ceiling widening before an entire section fell, raising a cloud of dust and leaving a debris field covering a large portion of two badminton courts.
Ronald Susilo, one of 12 Singapore players at the tournament, witnessed the entire incident.
"We looked at the ceiling (after the cracking sound started) and it didn't take long before it fell. Luckily, it was only one section and not the whole building collapsing, or a lot of people would be hurt," said Susilo, who was in the stands about 30m away when it happened.
"We've dealt with water dripping down from the stadium roof, and it's quite normal for a stadium to be draughty, but I've never seen this happening before."
BWF events manager Venu Mahalingam said the world body is investigating the incident and awaiting a report from the organisers, the Ho Chi Minh City Badminton Association. The tournament was moved to the Tan Binh Sports Center, which hosted the 2003 SEA Games badminton competition.
"There were no withdrawals or complaints. Everybody has been supportive. I'm very happy with the new venue and cannot believe the situation was turned around so quickly," said tournament referee Julie Carrel in a statement on the BWF website.
On Wednesday, Kean Yew wrapped up a 14-21, 21-14, 21-15 win over Nguyen, while Susilo lost a tight three-setter to Andre Kurniawan Tedjono.
The tournament wraps up on Sunday.

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants is responding to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel's recommendation that he be disqualified from certain cases, or have his law license suspended.
In a brief filed Thursday, Plants says special prosecutors have already been appointed to handle cases involving domestic battery, violence and domestic violence petitions.
Plants also says having his law license suspended is unneeded and unfair since he has not been convicted on any criminal charges.
The recommendation came after he was accused of using excessive force while spanking his son.
Plants is also facing a misdemeanor charge for violating a DVP filed by his ex-wife.
