Domaine Bertagna Corton les Grandes Lolieres 2005
Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France
Winemaker's Notes
This wine combines power with elegance and refinement. Aromas of redcurrant, flowery but also spicy. It is generous wine with a soft body.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A powerful red, with floral, kirsch and raspberry flavors. Supple and concentrated, with dense tannins and bright acidity. Seems raw right now, but has the wild character and intense fruit of the appellation. Excellent length. Best from 2015 through 2035. 25 cases imported." -
The Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Corton Les Grandes Lolieres (from the Ladoix side of the mountain, and tasted pre-assemblage) offers spiced sweet cherry and plum aromas with a hint of chalk dust. On the palate, bright fruit is strongly inflected by fruit pit bitterness and chalky minerality, themes that carry into the wine's bright, treble finish. As with most of these wines today, this wears its structure rather obviously, and one is entitled to ask whether a Grand Cru ought not to have nobler tannins.
Range: 88-90 Poings"
Domaine Bertagna Winery
Domaine Bertagna is an historic estate, once the property of the Cistercian monks who founded the Clos de Vougeot in the 13th Century. Now its cellars and vineyards are in the shadow of the famous Clos and its ancient Chapter House, and owned by the Reh family. Since 1982 Eva Reh-Siddle has managed the estate (her sister Annegret Reh-Gartner, manages Reichsgraf von Kesselstaat, one of the Mosel's most important estates). Extraordinary investments have been made in fermentation technology and the vineyards' management since the Reh family has taken charge of the domaine, and the winemaking has improved dramatically, emphasizing purity of fruit and expression of the specific terroirs that they carefully cultivate View all Domaine Bertagna Wines About Burgundy
The region of Burgundy is the fairytale land of vines. There are stories of kings, conquerors and commoners recounting the seductive effects of a Burgundian wine. Even now, many wine aficionados and lovers will pinpoint their most memorable wine moment at that first taste of an aged Burgundy. Much of this can be related to the terroir of Burgundy. Centuries of winemaking have led the Burgundians to know which grape clone grows best on which plot of land, including the soil, the angle towards the sun and the elevation – all of these factors contribute to the terroir of Burgundy. Vineyards from around the world plant cuttings of exact Burgundian clones, trying to replicate the Burgundy style.
Burgundy is a small region, only about a fourth the size of Bordeaux. The narrow thread of vineyard land stretches from the city of Dijon to Lyon. The five main districts of Burgundy are – from North to South - Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais, and Beaujolais. Chablis is far removed geographically (above Dijon) and adheres to its own classifications. Beaujolais is its own region due to grape variety, vinification methods and regulations. Leaving us with the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais as the heart of Burgundy.
Grapes of the region are easy to remember - Pinot Noir for reds, Chardonnay for whites. Burgundy can be called home for both varietals, despite their increasing presence in every winemaking country. In this area red wines out number whites, although the quality for both is unparalleled.
A bit of History...
Once owned and run by the church and nobility, the vineyards of Burgundy were seized during French Revolution and sold off piece by piece. Further separation occurred with Napoleonic Law, which ordered that inherited land be divided among children equally. These two factors put Burgundy where it is today – a myriad of vineyards and villages, each with a number of growers and producers.
Burgundy is organized by plots of land and labeled as such. About half of Burgundy works on a négociant system. Growers of small plots sell grapes, or more often, barrels of already made wine, to négociant houses who then blend it with other wines from that region and put it under their label. While the négociant system may sound like a way to produce mass amounts of anonymous wines, that is, luckily, not the case. Wines are labeled with a sense of place, so you know what land you are getting. There are some négociant houses that are much more renowned and consistent than others, and for the most part, the system works. But times are changing. Some growers are purchasing more land and making the wine on their property, under their label, for more consistency. On the other side, négociant houses are buying up their own vineyards so they will have more control over winemaking.
Classification System
The classification system is similar to a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is the most basic of the classifications, the Burgundy AC, meaning grapes can come from anywhere in the Burgundy region. Next up is a village wine, such as Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits, or the villages within these regions, like Givery-Chambertin or Puligny-Montrachet. The label will say Appellation Puligny-Montrachet Controlée. At the next level is the premier cru. A wine that says Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru will still be Appellation Puligny-Montrachet [premier cru] Controllée, but may include the premier cru vineyard name, such as Les Pucelles. At the tip of the pyramid are the grand cru vineyards. There are only 30 in the Côte d'Or and the name of the vineyard is the appellation name.About France - Other regions
When it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
Customer Reviews
Sign In to Add Your Review0 }div>Alcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Prince William revealed his surprising music taste when he made a royal visit to Goole High School in East Yorkshire, England, on Wednesday. When asked what bands he likes, William told a group of young children that he "really likes" Coldplay and Linkin Park. Yes, you read that right: Linkin Park, aka the band that you were embarrassingly really into back in 2001. Couldn't music fan Prince Harry make a Spotify playlist for William to introduce him to more current bands? Or at least Harry could take him along the next time he drops by the Glastonbury Music Festival.
This isn't the first time William has opened up about his personal music taste. During his tour of Australia in April, the prince told a young rapper at a youth center about his favorite genres. "I quite like house music," William said. "I like my house music. I like a bit of rock and roll, a bit of R&B. I'm not a big heavy metal fan. I'd like to be, but I'm not."

How to recognise it, how to overcome it
Symptoms You will notice the formation of a painful, solid swelling on the outer side of the knee joint. You may have had some direct trauma on the site some time previously.
Signs The visible swelling is most prominent when the knee is held in a slightly bent position. It feels so solid that it may be mistaken for bones.
Medical investigations Investigation of the cyst is rarely required beyond observation at surgical removal.
What else could it be? A tear of the collateral ligament over the cyst or an iliotibial friction band problem should be fairly easy to rule out.
Medical treatment
Self-treatment is impractical medical attention will be surgical if the injury causes enough pain to warrant it. It is not always practical to remove the cyst without also taking some of the underlying cartilage.
Can you run through it?/Recovery time As pain is the limiting factor, some runners will attempt to run through a meniscal cyst. Surgery and appropriate physiotherapy with quadriceps exercises should mean that you can be running fluently within a month or so.

i've mentioned downton abbey here before. my husband and i saw the final episode of season 2 sunday night. needless to say, we're hooked. although, british period pieces generally make him run from the room, he really likes this about as well as i do. season 3 will provide shirley maclaine as the grandmother from america. she and maggie smith will be a hoot together..can't wait.

I went on a little The Wire binge last week when I wasn't feeling well and through the weekend. Finished season 2 and 3 and am a few into season 4. Season 2 was pretty good, but not near as good as 1 or 3.
Season 3 was pure genius, just incredible. The whole Hamsterdam story line was fascinating, and a brilliant way to explore the subject of legalization of drugs without coming off as promoting an agenda. I love the Major Colvin character. I also love how there are few sacred cows on the show with both Stringer Bell and D'Angelo being axed and Avon heading off to prison.
I hated to see D'Angelo go as I really loved his character and would have liked to see a continued exploration of how he evolved. I think he's one of the best characters of any show I've seen. I was also fascinated by the evolution of Stringer Bell and how serious he was about becoming a legit business man only to be played by the system and coming to the realization that he's just a gangster. Just great stuff all around. I can't say enough about how amazing season 3 was.
I like how season 4 is starting and am already dreading when I'm done watching. I've never been this engrossed in a TV show before. The silver lining is that I'll stop dreaming all night about being on the streets of Baltimore.

Season 4 moved me to tears a few times. Can't say that about any other tv show I have ever watched.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
--Oscar Wilde
I thought Avon's description of Stringer was very apt: "Not hard enough to be a (gangster) and maybe, maybe not smart enough for business." No doubt Stringer was a bright guy but he was really never true to himself. Avon may have been a gangster but he knew it and accepted it and didn't pretend to be anything else. But, as you'll see in Season 4, Stringer - as bright as he was - may have not had much of a choice to be a legitimate businessman.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
The consistent theme of seasons 1-3 is people rising and falling when they step out of their "place" in the grand scheme. Stringer, D'Angelo, the Sobotkas, Jimmy McNulty, Major Colvin, etc. -- all characters who rise and fall because they don't respect their place. Stringer is a hoodlum who wants to be an entrepreneur, D'Angelo is a soldier who wants to be big player, Ziggy and Nick Sobotka are dockworkers who want to be millionaires, Jimmy McNutly thinks he's smarter than everyone he works for and can't respect the chain of command, Major Colvin thinks he can solve the crime problem by legalizing it.
But, during that time, who are the people who are the survivors? They're the people who never try to be more than they are. Bunk Moreland. Omar Little. Lester Freeman. Bubbles. They accept their role in life and they live their role.
I love the Wire. I need to go back and re-watch it sometime. The first 3 seasons are outright television perfection. Seasons 4 and 5 are fantastic in their own way, but 1-3 are magic.

Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
I agree, but I'd add that the theme I took away is that capitalism will grind you down, and institutions are unchanging and uncaring.
Also, I think D'Angelo wanted out entirely more than he wanted to be a big player.

I don't think it's Capitalism -- it's "The System."
On the street slinging, at the police precinct, in city hall, on the docks -- the system always wins.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Agree about D'Angelo. I think he was a guy who had visions of being something out in the "legit" world. The scene where he took his girlfriend (or wife) to the fancy restaurant and he was really focused in on whether or not the people there knew "who he was" was the scene that most defined his character, IMO. He looked around and saw what he could be, but didn't know how to get there. I recall him once talking about how his grandfather was a big player in the street world; his uncle was the kingpin, his mother groomed him for it even. But it wasn't him. He was conflicted. He had aspirations of being a highly successful individual. That was one of his innate characteristics. He just thought that the only way to have it was through the streets. His desire for success wound up winning out over his desire to not be in the world he was stuck in - at least until it was too late to change it.
As for the theme, one that kept coming to mind as I've watched is that our "system", however you define it, is nothing more than a bunch of individual motivations and competing agendas that are always competing against what's right. People in positions of influence are constantly having to find a balance or to choose between what's best for them and what's best for those they represent....or what's right.
Burrell and Rawls are great examples. When choosing between what would help their own careers and what needed to be done to combat the crime problems in Baltimore - the job they're being paid to do - they chose their own interests. When you play that same scenario out across the macro of our government and economic system, you have America. The desires of the few wind up winning out over the interests of the many.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
Yeah, "The System" might be a better choice of words, although I'd argue it's the same thing since capitalism is our system in this country. But similar problems as the ones you see on The Wire would probably arise under other systems.
I read a lot of comparisons with The Wire and Charles Dickens, but I always thought Dostoevsky was just as valid.
Not trying to make this a political conversation, but that's tough with this show.

Spacious villa with pool and complete privacy. From the terraces and from the house you have a magnificent view over the valley with olive trees. The original millstone now serves as a coffee table. Both bedrooms have comfortable beds and air conditioning. Due to its sheltered position on the south side of the Ida Mountains, Lagolio is among the most pleasant locations in Crete. Many excavations and the beautiful sandy beaches of South Crete are close. In this particular house, with several terraces, you can enjoy an unforgettable holiday. ADSL connection available.
This traditional Greek house was built about 250 years ago. The last hundred years, until 1960, the building was used as olive oil mill. In 2007 the house was restored, with traditional Greek style and atmosphere were retained.
In the south of Crete, near the beaches of Komos and Kalamaki, lies the quiet village Lagolio. On the edge of this village stands on the slope of our spacious apartment with pool and WiFi Internet. This traditional Greek house was built about 250 years ago.
The last hundred years, until 1960, the building was used as olive oil mill. In 2007 the house was completely rebuilt, with the traditional Greek style and atmosphere were retained. The house has accommodation for four people.
You can enjoy a magnificent view of the valley and the hills, and farther away the tops of Psiloritis, the excavations of Phaistos and the Mediterranean.
If you do not want to sit in the middle of nowhere "but want to enjoy the peace and quiet, you can not imagine a more beautiful place.
The village Lagolio is still pure and unspoiled, and has a very special restaurant where you can eat. Very tasty, authentic Greek
Authentic and fully finished in Greek style
The house is on the outskirts of the village high above the valley, with a spring gurgling mountain stream. Beside the house is a small terrace, a lovely place to have breakfast in the morning sun. From the large terrace with swimming pool and sun beds, you have a magnificent view over the valley and the mountains. Regularly some eagles soar above the valley: breathtakingly beautiful!

The 3.0.4-libre-lemote kernel from http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense has everything except hotkey support for wireless.

Should I add the patch, modify options, or both? Thanks! Paul

Clams with Lemon Cream and Sevruga Caviar
- fast
- make-ahead
Plus: More Appetizer Recipes and Tips
- 2 dozen mahogany or littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 fresh thyme sprig
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
- 1 1/2 to 2 ounces sevruga or osetra caviar
- Salt
- 2 dozen fresh chervil leaves and tiny lemon triangles (see Note), for garnish
- In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine the clams with the wine, shallots, thyme sprig and a pinch of pepper. Cover and cook over high heat until the clams just open, about 8 minutes. Transfer the clams to a bowl with a slotted spoon; strain and reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cooking liquid. Remove the empty half-shell from each clam and reserve.
- In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, lemon juice, chives and the reserved cooking liquid. Gently fold in the caviar. Season the cream with salt and pepper. Just before serving, spoon the caviar cream over each clam and garnish with the chervil and lemon wedges.
Make Ahead
The clams and cream can be made early in the day and refrigerated. Notes
To make the lemon garnish, peel a lemon with a sharp knife, removing all the bitter white pith. Cut in between the membranes to release the sections into a bowl. Squeeze the membranes to extract the juice. Use the juice in the recipe and then cut a few of the sections into tiny triangles.
This dish can also be made without the caviar, using medium mussels in place of the clams.

A handwritten note dated Dec. 21 by a Bank of America executive suggests that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Lawrence Summers, President Barack Obama's lead economic adviser, supported pressure put on the bank to complete its acquisition of Merrill Lynch. While their involvement was apparently minimal, the perception that officials from the Obama administration agreed with officials in the Bush administration puts additional pressure on bankers, sources said.

Date: | Friday - May 8, 2009 |
Host: | George Noory |
Guests: | Marc Zicree |
During the first half of the show, sci-fi writer Marc Zicree joined George in the studio to discuss the new Star Trek film and the classic TV series The Twilight Zone. He was very pleased with new J.J. Abrams version of Star Trek which opens this weekend. Based on the audience he saw it with, Zicree was optimistic that the movie would appeal to both longtime Star Trek fans as well as newcomers to the series. On how he felt fans of the original Trek crew would feel about the new faces playing the iconic Trek characters, Zicree mused that "even the die hard, first generation of Trekkers recognize ... that it's time for new actors to step up and take on those roles."
"He used to joke that he was the only writer who could write a script and get a tan at the same time," Zicree said about Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and his unique method of writing scripts. He explained that Serling would lounge by his pool and dictate the stories into a recorder, playing the roles of each of the show's characters. From there, the tapes would be transcribed by Serling's secretary and turned into the script. According to Zicree, this novel means of creating episodes allowed for remarkable quickness. "It would take him anywhere from one to three days to write a script," he marveled.
The second half of the program featured Open Lines, including the return of infamous caller J.C., who declared "I cannot keep my silence any longer!" The self-proclaimed "ten star general" of God revealed that he was "broadcasting live from the search" for his former associate Edna. J.C. also decried the earlier discussion on science fiction, calling it "nonsensical nonsense," and relished in the spread of swine flu because "sinners are gonna be dropping in the streets."
The final half hour of the show featured George's 9/27/07 interview with medical intuitive, author and lecturer Stewart Swerdlow discussing mind control.

Hi. I'm researching Phillis Dickens, lived and worked in Red Bank Manchester as a confectioner. Born 1796. Daughter was Susannah who married Conley. Any help from others much appreciated. Thanks :o) |

Could this be where the Taylor comes in???? |
Jill | Report | 26 Jul 2012 09:33 |
Hi everyone. Wow! What a lot of responses! Yes, 1796 born. Sorry, my mistake. The line goes from phillis dickens (married name I think but I don't have a hubby for her), daughter susannah dickens, married william conley/conlay, had william albert conley married to mary ada then edith cooper, second marriage produced edith conley plus 3 other girls, edith married frederick albert taylor, they had my mum. I know phillis was a confectioner in red bank manchester but have no record of hubby. Red bank was a jewish immigrant area but I don't think she was jewish because of occupation and time of living there. There was talk in our family of susannah being french and running off from france with a catholic priest but I can't find any evidence of this! |

I couldn't find a marriage between William Conley (or variants) and Susannah Dickens? |
Jill | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:02 |
I don't have the marriage certificate unfortunately. Bit of a daft question but where could I get one? Manchester town hall? |
Jill | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:10 |
Between 1861 and 1871, Susannah has disappeared and William is living with the kids with the Barratts. Is there an address for that record? Also, it looks like phillis' husband is josiah, is there an address? |
Catherine | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:10 |
That's interesting:- |
Jill | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:13 |
And there's a name change from conley to connelly but it reverts back to conley. I'd heard that the priest was irish and had to change the spelling when they ran off together. Unless she's run off at this point with someone else??? |
Jill | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:16 |
Would the cathedral have a record of it? So it's looking like phillis shaw and joseph then. And make her 22 when got married. |
Catherine | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:27 |
marriage certificates can be bought directly from the local registry office, or can be bought from the GRO (general registry office) and can be bought on line. They cost about £9 (or something like that). You can buy from other sites but they will cost a lot more. |
Catherine | Report | 26 Jul 2012 10:32 |
Names were registered by clerks and were often misspelt as they usually wrote down what they heard. If the person registring had an accent, then the clerk may not have been familiar with that particular accent, or the person may not have known the exact spelling of his own name, so you will find lots of vatiants of names when doing your research. Always keep an open mind! |

Category: Dear Frankie News Posted by: admin SCOTLAND is well represented at this year's 58th Edinburgh Film Festival - and it's probably just as well. Insiders claim there will be announcements next week about stars coming to the capital.
Article Date: July 30, 2004 | Publication:
Daily Record | Author: Alan Morrison
But, for the moment, the films don't boast many big guns, leaving room for the Scots contingent.
Leading the way is the premiere of Richard Jobson's new movie, The Purifiers.
Billed as Scotland's first martial arts film, it stars Kevin McKidd. He also has a leading role in Jobson's debut directed film 16 Years of Alcohol, which is out today.
There's a first screening, too, for English director Ken Loach's third Scotland-based film Ae Fond Kiss, a Muslim/Catholic love story set in Glasgow.
Shona Auerbach, who won the 2003 Audience Award with After Life, returns with Dear Frankie.
Shot in Greenock last summer, it's a warm-hearted drama about a single mother and her deaf son.
Dear Frankie received a 15-minute standing ovation at its premiere in Cannes.
Written by Andrea Gibb, the cast includes Emily Mortimer, Gerard Butler and newcomer Jack McElhone.
Peter Mullan appears in Eleanor Yule's Bergmanesque Blinded and Daniela Nardini stars in Festival.
Malcolm McDowell will pay tribute to late Scots director Lindsay Anderson. The festival, which runs from August 18-29, will show films from 27 countries.

Florence Egal is a Nutrition Officer and Arine Valstar is an Associate Professional Officer in the Household Food Security Group, Nutrition Programmes Service of FAO's Food and Nutrition Division.
Although human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is recognized predominantly as a health problem, the epidemic has multiple social and economic dimensions and implications since it affects adults in their most productive years of life. A health approach alone is not sufficient to prevent the spread of the disease or to mitigate its impact on both individuals and society. The spread of HIV/AIDS has become a major constraint to development in affected areas and must, therefore, become a major consideration in the programme planning of governments and agencies. The detrimental impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on nutrition and household food security in affected areas requires attention, and strategies to address these problems should be incorporated in programme planning.
The interaction between HIV/AIDS and nutrition can basically be seen from two perspectives:
Biologically, there are multiple relations between HIV/AIDS and nutritional status. Research shows that the chance of infection with the HIV virus might be reduced in individuals who have good nutritional status, with micronutrients and, especially, vitamin A playing significant roles (ACC/SCN, 1998a). At the same time, the onset of the disease and even death might be delayed in well-nourished HIV-positive individuals (ACC/SCN, 1998a).
Because the virus damages the immune system, AIDS patients are vulnerable to multiple infections. A diet rich in protein, energy and micronutrients, especially vitamin A, contributes to resistance to opportunistic infections in AIDS patients (Friis, 1998). Higher nutrient intakes are required when the patient suffers from a secondary disease. When diarrhoea occurs, extra liquids are required to restore the balance.
In these vulnerable individuals, the prevention of food-borne illnesses is extremely important as these would further increase the patients' needs and, at the same time, reduce their absorption of nutrients. Hygienic food handling and access to safe foods are, therefore, imperative.
The discussion of whether or not breastfeeding by HIV-positive mothers should be encouraged is still ongoing: mother-to-child transmission (or vertical transmission) of the virus through breastfeeding has been observed, the risk of such transmission being higher among mothers with AIDS than among HIV-positive mothers (Preble, 1998). In a recent study, exclusive breastfeeding appeared to protect against the transmission of HIV, with a higher risk in partial breastfeeding (Coutsoudis, 1999). Infants of mothers who have an adequate vitamin A status might have a reduced risk of vertical transmission (Friis, 1998). Given the many advantages of breastfeeding and the risks commonly associated with the use of breastmilk substitutes, one clear recommendation on breastfeeding by HIV-positive mothers cannot be made for all developing countries. This comparison of the risks of HIV/AIDS transmission from nursing mothers with the risks of bottle-feeding has led to the development of different national policies. The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Joint United Nations Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS) support the right of HIV-infected women to choose safe alternatives to breastfeeding, based on full information (ACC/SCN, 1998b).
HIV/AIDS has a detrimental impact on household food security and nutrition in endemic areas. Household food security is defined as the ability of the household to secure, either from its own production or through purchases, adequate food to meet the dietary needs of its members so that they can lead a healthy and active life.
A grandmother sells milk to
In HIV/AIDS-affected households, problems start as soon as the first adult becomes sick. This results in increased spending for health care, decreased ability to carry out work and higher demands on time for care. Children might be forced to discontinue their schooling as the household needs their help and can no longer afford the school expenses. Eventually the AIDS patient dies, additional expenditures are made for the funeral and the productive capacity of the household is permanently reduced. Socio-cultural practices may further aggravate the problems of the household, for example, when the surviving spouse cannot maintain access to the property of the deceased.
In the next stage the patient's partner may become sick, problems increase and accumulate and the downward spiral accelerates. The household may find itself without cash reserves; often it becomes indebted and is forced to sell livestock and other productive resources. Traditional solidarity systems may wear out, and the family may progressively slide into destitution. Eventually, the household is reduced to elderly people and children. Essential skills are lost to the family and the community as active adults die.
Households affected by AIDS are at risk nutritionally: access to food is difficult; demand for care soars, together with time constraints; and it becomes increasingly difficult to preserve health.
The Figure shows a visualization model of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the food and nutrition situation of a household. The model can facilitate the identification of interventions likely to prevent or address specific constraints in a given situation.
The impact of the epidemic on food and agriculture is clearly related to people's livelihoods and will vary according to the different ecological zones, farming systems and stage of the epidemic. It may result in a shift from cash crops to less labour-intensive food crops, to more basic and less varied food production or to a reduction of productivity and cash income with corresponding adverse effects on household food security (FAO, 1995). Research carried out in Uganda showed that food insecurity and malnutrition (rather than medical treatment and drugs) were foremost among the immediate problems faced by female-headed AIDS-affected households (Topouzis and Hemrich, 1996). This further aggravates the situation, as good nutrition is of great importance to the victims of the AIDS epidemic as well as to children and pregnant and lactating women.
The epidemic takes a heavy toll on national development staff. The health, education and agriculture extension services usually provided to the population will be disrupted as the staff operating these activities become ill and die. Provision of care to sick family members, attendance at funerals and observation of mourning times further reduce the staff's productive time. In Uganda, this has led to an informal reduction of the length of the working week (Topouzis, 1998). This disruption in services further aggravates the local situation and undermines households' capacity to cope with the illness.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic and strategies for mitigating its impact are often not given specific attention by rural development workers and/or agriculture project staff. This frequently leads to further marginalization and destitution of affected households.
With an estimated 16 000 new infections per day, worldwide, and the rapid decreases in life expectancy in the most affected countries, the AIDS epidemic should be a primary focus of development assistance in affected countries (ACC/SCN, 1998a). For organizations working in agriculture, the natural entry point to mitigate the impact of the epidemic is through improving household food security. Knowledge of the local dynamics among HIV/AIDS, food insecurity and malnutrition, including households' coping strategies (to offset labour shortages, decline in income, etc.) will allow projects to identify and design activities according to existing needs and constraints and help to mitigate the impact of the epidemic.
A model to help visualize the impact of HIV/AIDS on household |
Projects operating in HIV/AIDS endemic areas do not always reach the households struck by the epidemic. In such areas, HIV/AIDS-affected households should systematically be included in the target groups of household food security and nutrition projects. These projects need to be able to identify where the most affected communities are located and which households are living with HIV/AIDS. Project activities should not obstruct the provision of care to the sick, infants and young children, including orphans, and special activities might need to be developed to support these. Training and support for youth will be essential to the survival of the household as a whole.
The young and the elderly manage alone |
In many countries, HIV/AIDS is not openly discussed. Raising awareness among field staff about the disease and prevention methods is the first step to be taken. Before HIV/AIDS considerations can be addressed, staff need to be trained to understand the impact of HIV/AIDS on food security and the specific constraints suffered by affected households. Field staff from all technical and institutional backgrounds need to be trained on how to identify affected households and help them to find solutions to the constraints they face.
The participatory nutrition approach promoted by FAO's Food and Nutrition Division includes the joint development of local household food and nutrition strategies by the different stakeholders. In HIV/AIDS-affected areas, organizing local planning and training workshops to discuss local food security and nutrition problems among various local groups and institutions would help identify possible interventions that could mitigate the negative impact of the epidemic.
Participatory appraisal of the impact of HIV/AIDS on food security in a given community can help identify affected households and clarify local dynamics among HIV/AIDS, food insecurity and malnutrition, including households' coping strategies.
Strategies to improve the coping mechanisms of affected households might include activities aimed at:
All field staff, in particular agricultural extension workers, should be informed of the beneficial impact of good nutritional status, both on the prevention of HIV infection and on the course of the disease, so that they can provide advice to families and reorient their own activities accordingly. Nutrition education and communication strategies in the affected areas should include appropriate dietary recommendations for individuals suffering from the disease, taking into account local food sources and production systems. Collaboration with local male and female leaders (e.g. traditional and religious leaders) needs to be sought.
The training of staff and community members and the timely transfer of essential skills are needed to mitigate the destructive impact on households and institutions. If required, and where possible, individuals who already suffer from the disease should be involved in this process.
WHAT AIDS MEANS TO A FAMILYIn the Luapula Valley of Zambia, the Kasuba family has always made a living through subsistence food production. Now that the 42-year-old mother is sick with AIDS, the family is going through a very difficult period. Since she was the person who grew beans and groundnuts, these foods have disappeared from the family's diet. Since she was responsible for planting, weeding, harvesting, storage and processing of food, the other family members have had to find new ways to obtain food. They cannot earn money so they work for other people in exchange for food, barter some of it to obtain other food items and beg meals from other homes. In order to pay for traditional medicines and to transport the patient from one herbalist to the other, they have progressively had to sell livestock, seeds, tools, clothes and cooking utensils. Ms Kasuba used to process the food and carry out most domestic activities. Now her husband and children have had to take over the tasks of fetching water and fuelwood and they are also spending a lot of time caring for her. As a result, they only cook once a day, usually preparing a meal of nshima from cassava flour with cassava leaf sauce. There is very little diversity in their diet as Ms Kasuba was the one who knew how to mix different foods. The older children have stopped going to school and try to take care of the younger ones. There is no money to pay for visits to the health centre. Source: G. Simuyemba and E. Phiri, Empowerment Officer and National Project Coordinator, respectively, for the project Improving Household Food Security and Nutrition in the Luapula Valley, Zambia, personal communication. |

Marriage, Zoe (2007) 'Flip-flop rebel, dollar soldier; Demobilisation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.' Conflict, Security and Development, 7(2) .
The wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have seen the recruitment of flip-flop clad rebels and instability arising because soldiers have not received their salary of a few dollars. Conversely, demobilisation programmes, which bring promises of reintegration grants, have not attracted people to disarm. This paper examines this conundrum alongside three features of the situation in Congo: the informalisation of politics and the economy, the exercise of power through violence, and the multiple crises in which people are living. Drawing on reports on demobilisation and interviews conducted in Congo, the paper investigates what implications these three aspects have for demobilisation, and what is achieved by the programmes as they stand. It argues that demobilisation programmes do not address fighters' motivations, and outcomes are largely immaterial. Instead there is a political pillage - akin to the pillages that took place across Congo in the early 1990s - by which some parties make immediate gains, whilst shaping the conditions for longer term losses and destructive systems.

Hollywood's Creative Artists Agency has reportedly dropped its representation of radio host Michael Savage two days after announcing that it had signed him as a client. CAA's dumping of Savage followed a rant on February 26, documented by Media Matters for America, over singer Melissa Etheridge's Academy Awards acceptance speech, in which she thanked her wife. Savage said, "I don't like a woman married to a woman. It makes me want to puke. ... I want to vomit when I hear it. I think it's child abuse."
On February 27, Media Matters noted Savage's comments, along with CAA's announcement that it had signed him. On March 1, the website TMZ.com reported that CAA had signed Savage and noted Savage's smears, linking to the Media Matters item. Later the same day, TMZ.com reported that, according to E!'s Planet Gossip blog, CAA had dumped Savage as a client and that "CAA confirmed to TMZ that Savage is no longer their client."
Etheridge, who is a CAA client, won the Oscar in the Original Song category for "I Need to Wake Up," from An Inconvenient Truth, the global-warming documentary featuring former Vice President Al Gore.
The weblogs Towleroad and Pam's House Blend both spotlighted Savage's smears of Etheridge.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle defender Roman Golobart has admitted his relief at producing a late equaliser to help the club to a draw on the weekend.
The 19-year old Spanish centre-back, on loan from Wigan Athletic, saw his side fall behind against Kilmarnock when his attempted scissor clearance found its way into the back of his own net but with seven minutes remaining managed to sneak forward and head home a leveler.
Golobart suggested he was so happy with help his side grab a point when his earlier mistake could have denied them anything at home against Killie.
"I was determined to make amends. It was easy to get the equaliser which was down to team work.
"A great cross came in, Billy (McKay) made a great header and I was there at the back post to turn the ball into the net.""The ball was bouncing around the six-yard area, it was behind me and so was one of their strikers. I tried to cover him and boot the ball away but it hit my shin-pad and went into the top corner of our goal," Golobart said.

Hi! I'm what you would call an Eclectic home schooler. We use a lot of different things. Geography and science form "Moving beyond the page". A few Oakmeadow books for Math. I also buy a lot of workbooks from our local United Art & Education store. My husband and I could not find one curriculum we totally loved. I have one friend who uses Calvert and loves it. She bought it used on Ebay. Secular home schoolers really only have a few choices when to comes to curriculum.

"Not the Best"
I agree with a previous reviewer; the vampire stuff was rather silly. The story, however, was as good as expected - vampires not withstanding.
"Good Story, BUT....."
The story is good, probably quite funny. HOWEVER, the narrator detracts from it with her reading. She gives a full stop at EVERY punctuation mark, both periods and commas, making every phrase sound like a full sentence. In addition, it appears that she doesn't get much of the humor in the book. Laurel's snarky comments and/or thoughts - the way the book is read it's hard to tell which is which - are delivered without the proper inflection so they just aren't as funny as they should be. Actually, most of the dialog and descriptions in the book are delivered without the proper inflection, sounding like she's reading Dr. Seuss to a group of preschoolers. I got the other books out of interest in the storyline, but the reading will be VERY distracting and frustrating.
"I Couldn't "Put It Down""
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was so disappointed when it ended I had to get the next book just to see what would happen. I did notice however, that it seemed similar to the TV show Roswell.
"Another Excellent Book!"
I love this series and this book did not disappoint. I just wish the author would continue Paul's adventures.
"Excellent Book, Excellent Series"
I got this book because it was on sale, and ended up buying the entire series. I enjoyed the details of shipboard life and the details of the court martial process. I like the protagonist's sense of fair play and desire to see that people aren't punished beyond what was necessary.
Totally loved this book. I love Megan's feistiness - the first scene says it all! I think most of us can relate to her feelings of loneliness for one reason or another. It's great that she channels those feelings into a determination to succeed in her chosen career - despite her anger issues. Giving Bridgit's point of view added a great touch. I'm definitely looking forward to more from Megan - and we HAVE to find out what happens between Megan and Seth - not to mention Bridgit's and Blast!
"I Want More!"
This was a very enjoyable book. I love the female protagonist, who is a general contractor. I also love that she's not afraid to use pink tools. I appreciated the characters of Jennifer and Whitney - I've worked with people who never got out of high school no matter how old they were. Bottom line, I really enjoyed the book and hope Kate Carlisle continues this series.
"The Book is Good, But..."
I enjoyed the story, but the narrator detracted from it due to many mispronunciations. I don't know how many times I yelled NUCLEAR NOT NUCULAR and DE-MOS-THE-NES NOT DE-MOS-THENES! It became very annoying.
"Good Book"
I was looking for a new series to start and stumbled on this one. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next one. Like one of the previous reviewers, I noticed a jump in the action where one second they were doing a deposition and the next second they were in court, but otherwise a great book.
"Good Book, BUT..."
I thoroughly enjoyed the story line and interplay between the characters. However, I found the frequent use of the F word offensive, I know Marines talk like that, but if I wanted to hear it, I'd be a Marine. For this reason, and for this reason ONLY, I won't be listening to any more of the books in this series. It's a shame because, as I said, the story itself is excellent.
"Cute Book"
The book was pretty cute. Not hilarious, like other reviewers said, but cute. Pepe reminded me of my chihuahua, who I had to put down last year at the age of 15, so I guess that's why I don't want to listen to further books in the series just yet.

Honestly, I think gaming will go for one more round. Then there's going to be a major shake up. Not so much company wise, as in industry as a whole. People want their couch and controller, but I think that era is dying soon. Kinect will make a push. Oculus will make tidal waves, earthquakes and tornado's all at once. Interactive gaming will be the norm. Gaming will something people will either hate, or adapt. I also predict that retro gaming will make a HUGE comeback because of this. Nintendo has been making a kill off of this, and the market is huge. In short? You think the gaming community is split now because of the graphics war? Next gen is where it will really get bad, and not because of graphics. Retro gamer's VS VR gamer's.

Yes gaming is dying as evident by the ridiculous amount of hardware and software that has sold this generation compared to the last... I mean let's all go back to the golden times when games were designed to be 30 minutes long but extended in length because of cheap difficulty. That's so much better than micro transactions! Oh I game last more than an hour? Well then we need to charge $100 for the game! Why do young gamers like the TC pretend they were around for some imaginary golden era that never existed.

Jazz'n it up...
Trip Start
Jun 27, 2009
Trip End
Jun 26, 2010
Where I stayed
My trip to New Orleans started off very well as I was seated next to a great New Orlean guy who was very proud of his city and proceeded to give me the full run down of places to go and where not to go - especially at night. On arrival at Louis Armstrong airport he then offered to give me a lift to my hostel as it was on his way. One thing I cannot fault about the majority of Americans is their amazing hospitality. After seeing me to my hostel, he shook my hand, gave me his business card and said if I had any problems during my stay then to give him a call.
As I had arrived saturday night at about 11pm and wanted to experience some of what this amazing city has to offer, I went straight out and went to Frenchman street - where all the locals go and those in the know ;) - and saw a great jazz band. It was fantastic listening to live Jazz but things start to wrap up there about 2pm, so I then went to Bourbon street, and went to a club playing decent tunes. I was having a drink and started chatting to these two black girls, when we realised that the club was closing, so they invited me to come along with them. Now I had only just entered Bourbon Street from the north east and as we walked down into the thick of it, I started to realise just how insane this place was. Anyway after several blocks of them turning down the advances of many black guys we ended up at a hip-hop club where they knew the bouncers. We went in and next thing you know I'm bumpin & grindin with these two girls. The only white guy in a sea of black people. It was incredible - I still have flashbacks!
The next day was a bit of a right-off but the day after I got my act together and made it into town and wandered round taking photos and soaking it all in. The afternoon after I got back to the hostel I met two guys travelling, an aussie named Felix and his German mate Nic. Not long after I also met Breda, a lovely Irish girl also travelling round the states. We planned to have some beers and then head into listen to some jazz but after several beers and money issues I ended up going solo again, however monday night in New Orleans is definitely not the same as saturday night!
The next day I went sightseeing with Breeda and Dane (another aussie) and tried some of the famous New Orlean donuts from Cafe Monde. We also bumped in Maxime a fantastic kid from Montreal who came to New Orleans to learn to play his trumpet. He'd just bought this classic old bike for $10. Wandering on a bit more - and after collecting some bead necklaces from ladies on balconies - we ran into Felix and Nic. At this point we decided to kick off the nights festivites by getting some beers before heading to Frenchman street. After a delicious meal of Gumbo we saw Maxime across the road having a trumpet lesson from an old famous New Orlean Jazz guy, so we went over and chatted. Then we went to DBA (a famous jazz haunt) and saw a fantastic swing band. They were great including many punters who were amazing swing dancers. Then this old jazz guy we'd been talking to with Maxime came on for a number - very impressive! Managed to also setup Maxime with a very gorgeous and very talented swing dancer. After the jazz finished it was about 2am and so we headed back to the hostel. Although myself, Felix, Nic and Dane got a lift from one of the swing dancers who we took for dinner at a gay diner. Great food apart from the grits which I had to at least try.
New Orleans is an amazing place even after the devastation of Katrina, as you can tell it is a shade of its former self, but the people and character of New Orlean's still shines through.

Measuring pulmonary function in infancy
Lucas, Jane S., Foreman, Claire T. and Clough, Joanne B. (2000) Measuring pulmonary function in infancy. The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 67, (2), 123-127. (doi:10.1007/BF02726186). (PMID:10832239).
Full text not available from this repository.
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the measurement of pulmonary function in infants for both clinical and research purposes. Such measurements remain limited by the complexity of the equipment as well as by the technical and physiological challenges of testing infants and neonates. Despite these problems, assessment of respiratory function in early life provides exciting information about the post-natal growth and development of lungs in health and disease. The aim of this paper is to discuss the physiological, technical and ethical problems surrounding these procedures, as well as reviewing the current methods of testing pulmonary function in the very young. Consideration is given to the developments needed if infant pulmonary function tests are to realise fully, their potential as research and clinical tools.

Risk awareness and mitigation activities can add up to a safer workplace as well as positive brand recognition. What Is Risk?Risk, in insurance terms, is the possibility that a loss or other adverse event may potentially interfere with an organization's ability to fulfill its objectives. Risk is also an event for which an insurance claim may be submitted. Why Manage Risk?Regardless of the size of your business, risk management strategies are essential because:People are now more likely to sue in the event of even a minor occurrence. Taking the steps to reduce injuries could help in defending against a Courts are often sympathetic to injured claimants and often give them the benefit of the Organizations as well as individuals who give professional advice are held to very high People are more aware of the level of service that they can expect, and the recourse they can take if they have been Corporate and non-profit organizations are often being held directly liable for the actions of their employees, volunteers and directors and officers.Big businesses are perceived as having deep pockets, many assets and high insurance policy limits. Corporations are sometimes targeted with inflated or fraudulent claims.Insurance and Risk Management Can Help Improve Business OperationsInsurance is also a valuable risk-financing tool. Few organizations have the reserves or funds necessary to take on all risk themselves and pay the total costs following a loss. Purchasing insurance, however, is not a complete risk management plan. A thorough and thoughtful risk management plan is the commitment to prevent harm. Risk management also addresses many risks that are not insurable, including brand integrity, potential loss of tax-exempt status for volunteer groups, public goodwill and continuing donor support. By integrating risk prevention activities into your annual operations plan, you may improve efficiencies and increase capacity. Bottom-Line Benefits of Managing RiskRisk management provides a clear and structured approach to identifying risks. Understanding all known and anticipated risks allows an organization to measure and prioritize them as well as take the appropriate actions to reduce the potential for losses. An organization with an effective risk management plan in place can also: Save resources such as time, assets, income, property and people Protect its reputation and public image Prevent or reduce legal liability and increase the stability of operations Protect people from harm Protect the environment Enhance its ability to prepare for circumstances that could interrupt business Reduce liabilities Assist in clearly defining insurance needsWhile it's not possible to eliminate all potential risks, a risk management plan demonstrates your organization's commitment to loss reduction and prevention. Ultimately, it can make your organization a better risk to insure. Talk to your insurance representative for specific advice about coverage and risk management best practices that suit your industry. Related ServicesBusiness InterruptionYou can help control the cost of your insurance premiums and improve your business operations by adopting risk management strategies. Risk awareness and mitigation activities can add up to a safer workplace as well as positive brand recognition.Directors and Officers LiabilityDirectors and officers have a duty to exercise due diligence in overseeing the management of the organization that they serve. They are required to act in good faith and in the best interest of the organization. Claims or potential claims must be promptly reported. Commercial Property InsuranceProtecting your commercial property is critical to your businesses financial stability. Errors and Omissions InsuranceProfessional liability – also known as errors and omissions – responds to claims arising from acts of professional negligence. Fleet LiabilityPreventive maintenance is an essential part of an effective fleet risk-management program. Your organization may be held liable for a collision if a driver operates a vehicle for business purposes. Incident and Accident ReportingA formal accident and incident reporting procedure helps employees to record essential details immediately after an event. Liquor LiabilityAnyone involved in the serving of alcohol could be held liable for damages or injuries that occurred when alcohol is deemed to have been a contributing factor in the incident. Policies and ProceduresReduce liability risks: document and train employees and volunteers in risk management best practices.
