An improved process or method of synthesis of carfentanil and other potent nalgesics of the N-alkyl 4-substituted 4-piperidinylamide class which can be used as morphine substitutes.
What is claimed is:
1. An improved process of making carfentanil and related analgesics by converting in sequence:
a. 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-piperidone to 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile;
b. said 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile to 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-formyl-N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile;
c. said 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-formyl-N-phenylamino) -4-piperidine carbonitrile to methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidineimidate dihydrochloride;
d. said methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino) -4-piperidineimidate dihydrochloride to 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxamide;
e. said 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxamide to 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino) -4-piperidine carboxylic acid;
f. said 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylic acid to methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate; and
g. said methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate to methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-propionyl-N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate oxalate.
This invention relates to an improved process or method of synthesis of carfentanil and other potent analgesics of the N-alkyl 4-substituted 4-piperidinylamide class which can be used as morphine substitutes.
The compounds of interest, and their related syntheses appeared in the literature starting in 1976. However, due to the low overall yield obtained in their preparation, a great deal of improvement was desired. A synthetic route leading toanalgesics of the above-cited type is described in the literature, see Synthetic Analgesics, Arzeim-Forsch. 26, 1548 (1976) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,179,569, Dec. 18, 1979. This synthesis is shown below: ##STR1##
It should be noted that when R is a phenylethyl group, the product is called Carfentanil, one of the most biologically active in this series.
The reaction of 1-phenylethyl-4-piperidine (1) with KCN and aniline in acetic acid gives 4-anilino-4-cyano-1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidine (2), which is hydrolyzed with cool H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 to the corresponding amide (3). This compound ishydrolyzed further with KOH in refluxing ethylene glycol affording the free acid (4), which is methylated with methanol and an acid catalyst to the methyl ester (5). Finally this compound is acylated with propionic anhydride at reflux temperature togive the analgesic compound (6).
For several N-alkyl or alkaryl groups of interest, the route described in the series of formulas gives satisfactory results. When R is phenylethyl, however, in order to prepare Carfentanil, the yield of the hydrolysis of the nitrile to thecorresponding amide (Equation B) is very low (about 7% or less). The predominant reaction is the reverse of Equation A, and the main product is the ketone (1) again.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process or method of synthesis of Carfentanil in yield of about 47 percent, for a key step.
Using the sequence of reactions and conditions of this invention disclosure, the yield of the critical hydrolysis step (Equation B) can be substantially improved from about 7% to around 47%. This allows a more practical and efficient totalsynthesis; less starting materials are required and less chemical wastes are generated.
This invention relates to the synthesis of Carfentanil (9) by the sequence of reactions the claims. The first reaction is again a Strecker synthesis to give an aminonitrile (2) as before. The nitrile is then converted to a formamide (7) withformic acid and acetic anhydride. This compound is hydrolyzed to an imidate (8) with refluxing methanolic hydrogen chloride. Decomposition of this in dilute base gives an amide (3), which is the same product of Equation B. The net yield for these threesteps (G, H and I) which substitutes for Equation B is about 47%, whereas the yield from B is only 7%. The amide is further hydrolyzed to an acid and converted to a methyl ester by the same procedures as before (Equations C and D). Finally, the methylester is acylated to give Carfentanil (9). (Equation J). ##STR2##
A solution of 60.5 g (0.929 mole) of potassium cyanide in 181 mL of water was added slowly to a stirred solution of 127 g (0.625 mole) of 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-piperidone and 87.1 g (0.935 mole) of aniline in 635 mL of glacial acetic at25.degree.-30.degree. C. After stirring for a total of 45 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of 900 g of ice and 1610 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide with stirring for two hours during which a brown solidprecipitated out. The solid was filtered and washed with water. Recrystallization from isopropanol gave a total of 125 g (66% yield) of product, 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile, as tan crystals, m.p. 119.degree.-120.degree. C.
Formic acid (600 mL) was added to 600 mL of acetic anhydride at a rate such that the temperature of the mixture did not exceed 42.degree. C. To this solution was added 119 g (0.39 mole) of 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidinecarbonitrile at 5.degree.-10.degree. C. with stirring. After standing at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-water and made alkaline to pH 7.4 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution during which a tan solid precipitatedout. The solid was filtered and washed with water. Recrystallization from methanol gave 100.4 g (77.3% yield) of product (1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-formyl-N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile, as white crystals, m.p. 136.degree.-138.degree. C.
To a suspension of 100 g (0.30 mole) of 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-formyl-N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carbonitrile in 1.0 L of anhydrous methanol was added slowly a solution of 670 g (18.4 mole) of hydrogen chloride in 2.0 L of anhydrous methanolat 3.degree.-10.degree. C. The resulting yellow solution was refluxed two hours, and then the methanol was allowed to distill off until 1.7 L was collected over the next three hours. During this time a white solid precipitated out. The reactionmixture was cooled and filtered, yielding 79 g (64.2% yield) of product, methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidineimidate dihydrochloride, as white solid, m.p. 196.degree.-198.degree. C. (dec.).
A suspension of 79 g (0.19 mole) of methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidineimidate dihydrochloride in 675 ml of water was made alkaline to pH 9 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The solid was filtered and washed withwater. The solid was dried in a vacuum desiccator to give 61.5 g (98.8% yield) of product, 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxamide, as a white solid m.p. 181.degree.-183.degree. C.
A solution of 28.4 g (0.088 mole) of 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxamide and 17 g of potassium hydroxide in 114 mL of ethylene glycol was allowed to reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into 228 mL ofice-water and made acidic to pH 6-6.5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid during which a tan solid precipitated out. The solid was filtered and washed with cold water. The solid was suspended in benzene and water was removed by azeotropic distillation. The mixture was cooled and filtered yielding 28 g (98.3% yield) of product, 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylic acid, as a white solid, m.p. 254.degree.-255.degree. C. (dec.).
Concentrated sulfuric acid (12 mL) was added slowly to a stirred suspension of 25.6 g (0.079 mole) of 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylic acid in 95 mL of anhydrous methanol. The resulting solution was refluxed for atotal of 73 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into 1 L of ice-water, upon which a gummy brown solid precipitated out. The mixture was made basic to pH 7.4 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with methylene chloride. Theextracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give 21 g of crude product which was recrystallized from N-hexane to give 19.0 g (71.1% yield) of desired product, methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate, aswhite crystals, m.p. 92.degree.-93.degree. C.
A mixture of 10.0 g (0.03 mole) of methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate and 100 g (0.77 mole) of propionic anhydride was heated to reflux for 6 hours. Most of the propionic anhydride was then removed bydistillation under reduced pressure. The residue was slurried in about 100 mL of ice-water and made alkaline to pH 8 with ammonium hydroxide. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the extracts dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated underreduced pressure. The residue, which weighed about 12 g, was dissolved in 50 mL of isopropanol and treated with a solution of 3.8 g (0.03 mole) of oxalic acid dissolved in 50 mL of isopropanol. The product was allowed to crystallize out overnight atroom temperature. When filtered and dried, there was obtained 12.2 g (85% yield) of carfentanil oxalate, or methyl 1-(.beta.-phenethyl)-4-(N-propionyl-N-phenylamino)-4-piperidine carboxylate oxalate, m.p. 183.degree.-185.degree. C.
In conclusion, as heretofore indicated, the process set forth in this invention provides the Carfentanil product in an amount of about 7 times that of the processes of the art.

In Windows Phone 7 Silverlight, is there a way to design a custom control from scratch - i. e. with custom drawing and custom touch processing? What do I subclass for that?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes you can. You usually subclass Control, ItemsControl, or ContentControl. Here is a blog post that explains the process in detail: Creating a WP7 Custom Control in 7 Steps |
As mentioned, you can create a custom control from scratch by deriving from the Jeff Prosise has a great series of four posts that cover touch manipulation in great detail: For the "custom drawing" part, what did you have in mind? If a control built up from primitives isn't what you had in mind, what about lines and shapes? |

Wow I can't believe I already have a lodge!! SO exciting! I will have to post a proper intro pretty quick here! Thanks so much for starting this for me! I can't believe I'm already 36 weeks!!

Welcome to your lodge!
Wow my own lodge! It can't be possible that I am that far along! I think I have been in denial for the past few weeks that I am so far along and it's finally hitting home!
My name is Krystal and I am 22, mom of Caleb whos 17 months, and wife to Nathan 24. We were married in December of 2005 after "dating" for almost 2 1/2 years, though 2 years of it he was serving a mission for our church in Japan! We were going to wait to have kids until he graduated college (this April yeah!), but soon realized we couldn't wait that long. Just 8 months after getting married we found out we would have Caleb after only being off bc for 2 weeks!
My pregnancy with Caleb went pretty picture perfect with the normal symptoms of morning sickness, weight gain etc... I have been in the room and helped with 3 of my nieces being born all within the last 6 years. My sisters have all had unmedicated vaginal births. I expected the same thing to happen for me. At 35 weeks I had a high blood pressure reading (only 5 points higher than my norm) and was told I was developing pre-e. My doctor said it was fine for now, but that if it went up any more I would have to start looking at early delivery because it was the only cure. At that point I still thought I would have a vaginal birth, and that things would go my way. My sister had high blood pressure during pregnancy and never had any problems. 2 more weeks of appointments went by and my blood pressure kept increasing, but my very small amounts, which I have now learned is VERY common in late pregnancy! I had no knowledge on the matter, and accepted that my doctor said I was developing serious pre-e. At 37 weeks I was ordered a Non-stress test which I was told came back with results showing the baby was stressed during contractions, and that I would need to deliver within the week. I was sent home on strict bed rest and told we would set an induction appointment up soon, but to come in to L&D if I felt sick or had any form of headache. Needless to say, I was STRESSED that day! Over the evening I developed a slight headache, and was convinced by DH and a friend that I should go into L&D just to get checked... Once in labor and delivery I was first told I was going to be induced, then within minutes told I was being prepped for a c-section because my blood pressure was too high for a vaginal delivery (total bogus!). I was told in the hospital that my bp was 180/110, which I know is high, but have now seen my chart and it was never really that high... I was lied to! After a seemingly routine c-section (which I was SO sick all the way through!) I had my beautiful son weighing 6lbs 3 oz. I was horrified by the event, and it lead to problems breast feeding, bonding and just my overall well being. I was depressed, and convinced I had been cheated of what I deserved.
Shortly after DS's birth I started researching more and more of what happened and why. I learned that I had some seriously bad treatment and that I could have a different birth next time.
When DS was 9 months old we decided to start trying again for our next. Just a few weeks after getting off birth control we found out we were expecting again. My body works to get pregnant easily...why would I not be able to birth normally? I was convinced that I wanted a natural birth this time. I researched OB's and found one I thought was natural VBAC friendly. Just a few weeks into pregnancy I started looking at home birth options, and felt it was really the best and most appealing option for me. After talking to DH about it and watching BOBB, we decided it would be a good option for us. DH is very supportive and encouraging of me having this baby naturally and it has been so helpful to have SO much support! I often wonder how women do it if their husbands aren't in it just as equally! We found a midwife early on that is a student midwife, and was eager to assist us in our home birth. She has been great! I have been seeing both an OB and my midwife throughout the pregnancy to have insurance coverage on tests I have chosen to take at the OB, and then the wonderful care from our midwife! The last few appointments with the OB have been horrible though! They ALWAYS stress me out right before taking my bp and then try to tell me I am getting pre-e again. My blood pressure is totally normal at my midwives appointments and EVERY test I have taken on request of the OB has come back COMPLETELY normal.
We are eagerly awaiting our HBAC and the wonderful experience I know it will be!
At my last OB appointment on Thursday (10/2) I was 40% effaced, and not dialated at all. I had the GBS test done at the same time, and am still considering if I want to go back next week for one more appointment or if I will just call in to find out my results. I am tempted to go for the cervix check (I know that's stupid) simply because I want to know if I am the same or further than I was with DS at 37 weeks. I still have to decide if I want to go b/c if I do, I have to have another NST which I am not super thrilled about.
We are SO excited to welcome the new addition of our little girl in the next few weeks. I am starting Cheyenne, Nettle, EPO, and flavanoids(sp?) tomorrow to help with labor prep. I am so eager to see how everything will play out in the next few weeks!
Sorry this intro was so long! Thanks for reading if you made it to here! Here are a few recent pictures of me and my family.

Welcome to your lodge! What a fun intro, I'm so excited for you and to read your natural child birth story
Great intro (and there were NOT too many pics!) Your DS is a handsome little man! I can't wait to read about your HBAC. And I would imagine that you can go to the OB to get checked if you want and then just refuse your NST, or can't your midwife just check you?

My point exactly. I saw what she went though with our first. I thought she was crazy when she said she didn't want anything for our second.
I said "look, if it was me, I'd be begging for very strong drugs. I saw how this all went down. I don't think you recall clearly what this was like". But it was her decision.
So when she tells my daughters that birthing "isn't all that bad", I tell them to check back with me later and I'll tell them what it was really like.

Throwback Major throwback. I first installed this app in like 2010 when we were all just little weeaboos using the chatrooms. Eventually we moved on to FFM & LiveProfile, currently residing in Groupie. It might sound sad, but my OF days were the best days of my life, I met so many great friends on here and I felt close to a lot of people. Nothing lasts forever though. So thanks for the memories, Openfeint. Reminiscing the days when this app was my favorite. -Challenger, Stormie♡

Pathetic How people can compare this to game centre eludes me, probably one of the worst apps on the market. Enable openfeint?? No thanks, i dont like sh1t

Will not load on Asus Transformer I also own the full paid version of 2XL MX Offroad and Openfeint will not open from there either. I love the game but am unable to update stats, look at leaderboards, nothing. If it weren't for that it would get 5 stars.
Frustrating Slow connections/login even when on wifi or 3g.. No login screen.... Automatically logs you and register on new devices... Resets your achivements and scores on new devices... Real frustrating...
Love it! Need more games! And what happened to multiplayer? Cestos 2 seemed to be the only game on here that did that and now they aren't apart of Open Feint!
Slots Journey Issues I had to recently replace my droid due to theft. Downloaded all my games that I had on previously. I am having serious isues with Slots Journey. This new scratch card bonus thing to get your daily bonus and friends bonuses is BOGUS. If you shut your phone down to charge it goes back to 6 day counter...if it freezes it goes back to six day counter...I have been sitting with a full card for three weeks now because it shuts itself down nightly and the counter resets. NOT A GOOD ADDITION TO THE GAME PEOPLE...was much better the way it was. Also lost all of my levels when redownloading including points earned which is strange considering all of my froends bonus people showed back up no problem. I am tired of trying to get my friend bonuses and daily bonuses by having to watch a ticker that resets itself at will. Originally rated this a super fun game ...now would have to rate it only a one star because of these BAD BAD BAD changes that took place when the new update took effect.
Love the idea, hate the performance Great concept on the channel, too bad there's too many bugs, can't upload a pict, can't change the nickname, bad programming on the channel.
constant server issues. I wish I could say I love this app, but I don't. I haven't had a good experience using the game channel. Every time I try to get on, I get a "server 500" or its saying I don't have internet. It's very frustrating and discouraging. I wish there was someone I could take my concerns to.
Good concept, bad implementation I have a dual core phone, why is scrolling so unsmooth? And the load time is ridiculous... needs to be optimized
Needs a lot of improvement Openfeint is great within itself as its simple with a gamertag, achievements, and friends list. But it falls behind a lot with fullscreen (especially lacking landscape mode), the ability sign into an existing gamertag instead of saying "oh sorry doesn't seem like you have an existing username" and forces you to go through hoops in order to sign into an existing account, and it needs to remember the users sign in.
Interesting idea... ...that had great potential. Sadly spoiled cause of constant lack of connection messages even though connection's all fine.
Logout/makes new account Every time after setting up my account on this thing if I close the app n launch it again it logs me out n wants me to create a new account this is highly annoying and also when I'm in a game IE fruit ninja n I hit game channel it just gets stuck at loading.... come on ppl fix this soon.
Can't register?? Everytime I try to register w an email and PW. It says "authorized account has failed for current user" or something like that. I have to reset my phone and i want to make sure i left off on all my games to do so. If this gets fixed or i get a response, ill rerate, right now im not happy
Connection failed.....again Would be great network for gaming if connection to servers were fixed....or would stop giving unauthorized device errors.until update is done the app is crap
Landscape? I'm on a Transformer Prime with docking station and this silly app insists on loading in portrait mode ... ugh
Useless Wow within 5 mins. 10times this app has told me Im not connected to the internet. Crap app. Extremtely slow. Garbage list of apps
Annoying Trying to use Feint instead of FB to obtain neighbours to advance on a challenge but generally get error code 500. On the rare occasion that Feint actually loads I can't access the next screen to add anyone. Very frustrating but like the game Robinson.
Ditto to josie 0 of 0 shown, when it loads anyway. Was working perfectly yesterday & game are still giving me achievements but in app isn't working ei
Great channel for making game friends 6 months ago I was always able to use this game channel to chat with people and share my user name for small streets. Now every time I launch this game channel It says I don't have a internet connection. I use the market to download this game. The market requires internet. How come the market reconizes my internet 3G and WiFi but openfeint does not? I use internet explorer every day on my phone. I am always on facebook. Even Small streets does not recognize my 3G and WiFi. Please fix this problem.
Meh. I liked it on the iphone, but on an Android tablet it's hopeless. I can't transfer my account and it won't view in landscape. "Free" apps aren't free.
cool app very good if u have the time to play and a bigger memory for all the great games their is.
Great games It's a nice approach to filter through the market place. Great for developers too! I love the integrated tools
Would Have Loved... I would have liked to been able to use this app, since I have many games that use OpenFeint. However, I haven't been able to get past the 'Loading OpenFeint' screen even once. I'm guessing it's a compatability issue with my device (Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6). Oh well. I'm uninstalling it because there's no point in having an app I can't use.
Now that is BOGUS! 1st Issue: I'm really careful about the space apps take & thought 2.5mb is not bad. Well guess what kiddies ... They LIED! Total memory taken is 5.35mb! Over DOUBLE the amount they claim. Now let's add insult to injury ... 2nd Issue:So I wait thru the super slow install, wonder how my phone is now low on memory but decide to try the app anyway. Ugh! EverCrack on dial-up anyone? (Loading.... Please Wait) I have apps that use OpenFeint for scoring etc. & I have never had a loading hang time like this before! How about some salt for that wound ... 3rd Issue: (Loading... Please Wait) I closed everything, restarted my phone (overkill I know) then reopened the Game Center app hoping it would be better. (Loading... Please Wait) It isn't. In fact I kept it as it was thinking maybe the OpenFeint site might be down. I then opened a couple games I knew were on the system & 'Lo & behold "Welcome to OpenFeint" Wow! In fact I've kept it running this whole time & no change. Well 3 strikes, you're out soooo say bye-bye to the Game Center Boys & Girls ... (Loading... Please Wait)
Poor Very poor app. Everytime I change phone or device I have to create a dud account then log out of it to log in my own. Come on guys we live in the 21st century. Get it fixed and I'l consider changing my rating
Angelsanctuary69 Need to be able to erase games that I no longer have from inside my profile games and achievements I will give 5 starts when this is fix thanks :-)
Great Should Be Android s Offical App for leaderboards achiements etc I love this app. I was always envious that Apple had thought of Game Center and that Android had nothing like it. Well I didn t know we had something like it till now. What s the chance of this becoming Android offical gaming center app I would love to finally have an ofiical app that can compete against Apple s. The only problem I see is that it doesn t keep you logged in after you exit the app

In 1992, as luck would have it, a civil engineer named Dave Zimmerman encountered THE FARMING GAME. Dave's business is to provide earthwork estimates to construction contractors. He had also been working on a gaming model to describe the free-wheeling earthwork construction business when he stumbled across THE FARMING GAME. He was so impressed with the business gaming model contained within THE FARMING GAME, he contacted the inventor, George Rohrbacher, and asked George, if through a licensing agreement, that he might be able to adapt THE FARMING GAME to the construction business. After some wrangling, the two struck a deal and in 1993 THE CONSTRUCTION GAME hit the market. Praises for the new game came in from all over the world and the game orders swamped Dave's engineering office that first Christmas. Dave was soon forced to choose between his first love, earthwork engineering, and the game business. Some years later, George and Dave struck another deal and THE CONSTRUCTION GAME became the property of The Weekend Farmer Co., George's game company. Preparing to manufacture THE CONSTRUCTION GAME in the new library-sized box, George and Ann Rohrbacher treated the game like they'd acquired a classic automobile. They stripped THE CONSTRUCTION GAME down to its chaise and then rebuilt it lovingly, piece by piece, to their exacting factory specifications. The result, as you are soon to see, is one of the best games you'll ever play. A close relative of THE FARMING GAME, to be sure, but THE CONSTRUCTION GAME is no clone! It stands on its own, a raucous good time - a hoot-and-a-half! Enjoy!!! George and Ann
THE LUCK OF THE DICE: I have had some customer express concern that the dice seem to roll in favor of the computer. Rest assured that the dice rolls are completely random. The same algorithm is used for human and computer players, whether rolling to move or rolling for a job.
I have used the algorithm to automate 100,000 rolls for 6 players over a 3 hour time period (600,000 rolls). You can see the data I have collected in this Google spread sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag2FKYHtP4mSdERrU3oyX3pfejlkRjI1R3d1RHo1Mmc#gid=0. You will notice that the data is very skewed after 10 rolls, but become more and more normalized with more rolls (players 1 and 3 started off very well, while player 4 did not, but everyone ends up in essentially the same spot). After 10 rolls for each player (60 rolls) the standard deviation is only 0.1146. After 600,000 rolls there is a standard deviation is a mere 0.0012.
Sometimes the dice just won't go your way. Give it another try and let me know how it goes. If you are truly unsatisfied, please contact me at rrTenz@gmail and we will work out a resolution. Take care, rrTenz.

Lamoreaux Landing Riesling Semi-Dry
Lamoreaux Landing
- New York
- United States
- Finger Lakes
- Seneca Lake
Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late often as late as January in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.
For over four hundred years, New York state has been consistently producing many of the United States finest wines, making the most of the oceanic climate and cool winds which blow over the many vineyards which surround the city. Indeed, certain wineries within the state boast an impressive heritage, with more than one dating back to the 18th century. The state itself has four key wine regions - Lake Erie AVA, Finger Lakes AVA, Hudson River and Long Island, and also features hundreds of smallholdings producing wines of a unique character made using more traditional methods. A wide variety of fine grape varietals are grown across the state, from esteemed old world grapes such as Riesling and Pinot Noir, to an expansive array of New World hybrid grapes which make the wines of this region so unique.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Hott Synopsis
BN – Amazon – Author |
She's gorgeous.
She's been offered prominent jobs all over the country as a surgeon.
Her sister stole her fiancé.
She has a stalker.
Oh, did I mention that there's a hit man after her, as well.
Ellie's taken out hundreds of bullets, she's just never had to take one out after she watched it go in. All she needs to do it to get through this fiasco and she can go home and watch her baby sister marry her ex-fiancé. Easy, right? Well, it would be if the bullet-wounded agent's partner wasn't her complete antithesis – or so very mouth-watering.
Hott Review
I need to preface this by saying the I've never met a Julie Garwood book I didn't like and, thankfully, this was right up with my favorites. I absolutely loved the characters. They have depth and always have a lot going on – like each of us – which makes them so much more believable.
The plot wasn't anything new – a girl witnesses a crime and is then chased by a hit man – but the dialog and the characters are what makes this book so much fun to read. I devoured it in an evening – I just couldn't stop until I turned that last page.

I liked this one too The only downside was the sister storyline but the relationship between the two leads was great. I loved his partner and his wife texting her all the time!
I enjoyed this one as well. I really loved the witty interplay. I didn't like the ending to the sister story but that's because I'm mean and stubborn I guess.

Here are some pieces to chew over today:
Birds have become flashpoints in politics worldwide — today's reads on our feathered friends and others:
Welcome to the round-up of news coverage of the US presidential election. There is a noticeable spring in the step of election pundits in the wake of the first presidential debate.
Yes, while political rune-readers and campaign commentators had been showing a rather lacklustre performance in recent days, the surprisingly interesting Denver dialogue has invigorated not just the campaign of Republican candidate Mitt Romney, but his backers in the newspaper columns too.
With no major polls taken since the debate, we are still in the kingdom of analysis, where the likes of George Will hold court. In the Washington Post, Will ripped into President Barack Obama for failing to prepare properly:
His vanity — remember, he gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod whose menu included two of his speeches — perhaps blinds him to the need to prepare. And to the fact that it is not lese-majeste to require him to defend his campaign ads' dubious assertions with explanations longer than the ads. And to the ample evidence, such as his futile advocacy for Democratic candidates and Obamacare, that his supposed rhetorical gifts are figments of acolytes' imagination.
Good morning and welcome to the daily presidential election news coverage round-up. As the dust settles after last night's opening debate between the candidates in Denver, the consensus is: first blood to Mitt Romney. The question is whether that will translate into helping the challenger narrow Barack Obama's lead in the polls. That will take a day or two to emerge. But an immediate CNN poll gave the spoils emphatically to the Republican hopeful, with two-thirds of respondents deeming Romney the victor and only a quarter handing the bout to Obama.
After he came out aggressively in a debate that featured more sparring over economic policy detail than rhetorical pile-drivers, Politico.com concludes that:
What Romney definitely did was earn himself a second look from the slim pool of undecided and persuadable voters still considering their options, and give himself a tighter messaging framework to use, if he is able to, before the next debate in New York two weeks from now.
Notes from the Heartland
I'm in Springfield, Missouri, the second stop on my tour through the American heartland. Yesterday I spent the afternoon at the headquarters of the local Republican party, trying to understand what its members think about the upcoming election and about the future of the country. In advance of the first presidential debate, which takes place tonight in Denver, one thing in particular struck me amid the electoral regalia and kind-hearted atmosphere of this Christian, conservative and friendly town.
The idea that America is polarised is a given across the political spectrum. There is a lot of truth in this, but often it gives rise to caricature. Read more
Here's today's menu for you:
Good morning and welcome to the round up of news coverage of the US presidential election and today's campaign calendar from Politico.com just about says it all. It's all about the debate, and the debate is: do debates make any difference?
Received wisdom is that debates rarely win an election, but they can lose one. For every candidate's bull's-eye, such as the great Ronald Reagan "There you go again", there are a dozen awkward moments or barely-avoided catastrophes.
At the weekend, the New York Times told us that Mitt Romney, the Republican challenger was in possession of "a series of zingers that he has memorised and has been practising on aides since August", but on Wednesday Dana Millbank in the Washington Post points out that a Zinger is in real life an item of confectionery stacked high in trans-fatty acids and other ingredients guaranteed to clog the arteries.
In an article making reference to "sugar rushes" and lack of fibre, Millbank writes:
At a time when even his fondest supporters are pleading for more substance, Mitt Romney is giving them the political equivalent of junk food. His has been the Zinger candidacy — all sugary platitudes, no protein.
In the Chicago Sun Times, Steve Huntley says President Barack Obama is open to being exposed as an emperor with no clothes in the Denver debate on Wednesday night. Read more
Today's serving of news stories, blogs and opinion pieces to chew on:
Welcome to the US Election 2012 round-up and with 35 days to go until polling day, there is a sudden lull in events. That isn't because everyone just got bored of 24-hour-a-day politics – although perhaps we shouldn't rule that out – but because tomorrow is the first presidential debate.
Say what you will about the US general election system, but it consistently throws up contests between two men whose camps are certain that the debate will change everything in favour of their guy (or, very occasionally, gal). Many US papers have pointed out in their Tuesday editions that there is little evidence that debates do actually make a difference, but to campaign teams that spend millions on advice, polls and statistical microscopy, that doesn't seem to make a penny's worth of difference to the amount of effort they put in.
So, today, neither candidate is on the road, but locked away with advisers, preparing their devastating one-liners and their most sincere looks into camera. Meanwhile, as Politico's campaign calendar reveals, the vice-presidential candidates are in swing states, with Vice President Joe Biden in North Carolina and Paul Ryan, the man picked by Mitt Romney to oust Mr Biden, in Iowa.
With the RealClearPolitics.com poll average showing President Barack Obama's lead slipping slightly to 3.5 points across all 50 states, the New York Times' specialist polling site FiveThirtyEight says it has run computer simulations which have in some models shown a statistical tie in the electoral college vote is possible at 269 for each candidate — but fortunately it is only a 0.6 per cent probability.
Those stories not concentrating on the debates look at the state of that race in the so-called battleground states. The National Journal has done some interesting burrowing on where the Democrats are having success: Read more
Notes from the Heartland
In Denver tomorrow, the first presidential debate will see the candidates discuss the role of government in the economy. Some Republican commentators argue that Barack Obama's healthcare and tax policies make him a "socialist". About half of Americans believe the term "socialist" applies well or very well to Barack Obama.
In the primaries Mitt Romney admirably declined to play this game. Obama may be a "big government liberal" (a phrase oxymoronic to British observers) but he isn't a socialist. But don't take Romney's word for it. The US branch of the Workers International League agrees with him. Read more
Welcome to the FT's morning summary of US election news
If it's Wednesday, it must be Ohio…again.
On a day the Washington Post published a poll showing him eight points ahead in the critical state, President Barack Obama made his 29th visit to Ohio since the 2008 election. Citizens may or may not be weary of his visits, but there are benefits, the Post reports, as presidential boons are raining down on their state.
It cites one example of this downpour of federal grants and business loans, which the president himself mentioned on Tuesday, after he turned his back on the opportunity to hob-nob with world leaders at the UN general assembly in order to shake hands with Buckeye State voters: Read more
Welcome to a new round-up of US coverage of the 2012 presidential election.
With just 41 days of campaigning left – and no new national polls to set the campaigns into nail-biting mode – foreign policy is set to make an impact on the campaign on Tuesday as President Barack Obama addresses the UN general assembly on the Middle East and Mitt Romney is expected to hit back with accusations that the incumbent has failed in his policies there.
Most papers report that the White House is presenting this as a "real moment for the US to assert its values and leadership in this period of transition".
But CBS News queries why, after making the trip to New York, the president is spending little time at UN headquarters. Unlike last year, he has scheduled no bilateral meetings with world leaders.
Simply put, the White House is prioritizing the president's reelection effort. Most heads of state will be here all week, but the president will be in New York less than 24 hours, and even then will spend most of his time away from this conference.
It has been a fun ride for journalists covering Mitt Romney's US presidential campaign. They have been treated to a smorgasbord of gaffes from the Republican nominee – about-turns on policy, questionable facts to base his arguments on, ill-received comments such as his response to the killing of the US ambassador to Libya last week or his scepticism over London's readiness to host the Olympics.

Today's selection of interesting articles from around the web:
Under normal circumstances, an American president running for re-election would do his utmost to avoid a row with the Israeli prime minister. But I wonder whether President Obama really will be damaged by his semi-public clash with Benjamin Netanyahu?
The conventional argument is that the Jewish vote is very important in two vital swing states, Florida and Ohio. The major American-Jewish organisations are passionate in their support for Israel and their concerns about Iran. So being perceived to be tough on Israel and weak on Iran is dangerous for Obama.

If Twitter is any guide then Barack Obama may have extracted from Charlotte what Mitt Romney singularly failed to get last week from Tampa – momentum, or what George H. W. Bush once called "the big Mo". Partly because of what the New York Times described as Michelle Obama's "high definition" fashion power, the first night of the Democratic convention garnered 3m tweets against 4m for the entire three days in Tampa.
It went off the charts for Bill Clinton's epic – some would say Fidel Castro-esque – 48-minute primetime address on Wednesday. If Tampa was "good enough" for Mr Romney, but nothing more, Charlotte looks likely to qualify as a boost for Mr Obama's re-election chances.
But momentum, like many things in life, is not what it used to be. Even if Mr Obama does emerge from Charlotte with "small Mo", the chances are that it will evaporate pretty quickly. His first hurdle comes on Friday morning with the publication of the jobs numbers for August. Read more
