Organizer: Nothing vulgar in Lady Gaga concert
More News from Pocholo Concepcion
MANILA, Philippines—The hullabaloo on whether the Manila concert of American pop superstar Lady Gaga would corrupt the morals of the Filipino youth has made it to the pages of international publications like The New York Times and Rolling Stone.
But the very center of the controversy has reportedly chosen to ignore the issue as she prepares for the shows, which open Monday night and continue Tuesday at the newly constructed 20,000-seater SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
"She is holed up in her hotel suite," said Renen de Guia, head of Ovation Productions, which organized the concert as part of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way Ball" tour.
The controversial singer-songwriter is billeted at Makati Shangri-La hotel, where fans awaited her arrival on Saturday night.
Asked why the artist had not talked to the media since her arrival, De Guia told the Inquirer: "Her feeling is that she has gone past the stage where she has to explain herself to the press."
Days before the concert, religious groups including the Catholic Church rose in protest against what they considered to be morally offensive images and lyrics in Lady Gaga's music videos and songs.
De Guia on Sunday said he was summoned to the Pasay City Mayor's Office on Friday as a result of the protests.
He said he had to explain to Mayor Antonino Calixto and a number of city officials that the concert had nothing to do with the music video of "Judas," the Lady Gaga song which had drawn the most outrage.
It was a good thing, De Guia added, that Craig David, who works in Lady Gaga's management, had flown in a day earlier to check on the venue.
"He assured me that there would be nothing vulgar or offensive in the show. I brought him along to Pasay City Hall," said De Guia.
As to the possibility of protesters watching the show, De Guia said he expected a number of them "to see for themselves what they have been crowing about."
He said complimentary tickets were given to Pasay City hall officials and their representatives so they could also see for themselves whether the show would violate laws against indecency in public places.
Regarding "Judas," a track from Lady Gaga's third album released last year, De Guia admitted that he himself "Googled the lyrics" to find out what the fuss was all about, and that he found nothing wrong with it.
The song's music video features a stylized depiction of Biblical characters, with Lady Gaga portraying a modern-day Mary Magdalene caught between her devotion to Jesus Christ and an attraction to Judas Iscariot.
Lady Gaga has been quoted on the Internet service provider MSN Canada as having explained:
"Judas is a metaphor and an analogy about forgiveness and betrayal, and things that haunt you in your life, and how I believe that it's the darkness in your life that ultimately shines and illuminates the greater light that you have upon you."
She also admitted that she wrote the song to look back on a bad relationship, which was also the subject of "Bad Romance," one of the tracks from her 2009 album "The Fame Monster."
To all the harsh critics of Lady Gaga, De Guia said: "Don't be so believing of your leaders. Understand what you're protesting about. Read the lyrics of her songs carefully and see if there's really anything evil about them."
The Monday and Tuesday concerts mark Lady Gaga's second visit to the Philippines. She first performed in Manila at Smart Araneta Coliseum in August 2009.

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Yoga Behind BarsRead MoreIn 2003, Shaina Traisman taught her first yoga class in Seattle's downtown jail. The students' blossoming interest in the class and the facility's obvious need touched Shaina. So two years later, she founded Yoga Behind Bars to reach as many students as possible and helped increase the number of teachers involved. Every week, 35 volunteer instructors teach yoga poses, breath work, philosophy, and meditation exercises to more than 150 men, women, and children at correctional facilities across the region as a form of therapy and rehabilitation. The yoga classes are designed to grant the students inner freedom and help them overcome their stressors and destructive behavioral patterns for when they reenter society.

Homeward Pet Adoption CenterRead MoreAs one of the largest no-kill shelters in Washington, Homeward Pet Adoption Center helps find permanent, loving homes for more than 1,400 cats and dogs each year. Forty percent of its animals are owner surrendered, and sixty percent are rescues from shelters that euthanize. A range of rescue, shelter, and adoption programs help the small staff and more than 350 volunteers in their mission to give homeless and abandoned companion animals a second chance. Additionally, Homeward Pet's onsite veterinary-care team spays or neuters all the animals that enter the shelter, along with providing a general health assessment, a microchip, and any necessary treatments or vaccinations. Homeward Pet also extends help to animals in the community with owners in need of financial assistance. In 2012, Homeward Pet's low-cost clinic spayed or neutered more than 500 pets, and its pet-food bank collected and distributed more than 40,000 pounds of pet food to local families struggling to feed their animals. It also offers year-round discount microchipping and free microchipping three times a year, to ensure the safety of pets in the community.

Heroes for the HomelessRead MoreHeroes for the Homeless's all-volunteer staff provides individuals experiencing homelessness in the Seattle Metropolitan area with emergency services and survival supplies. They do so without expectation or cost, and regardless of age, race, and physical or mental capabilities. All they require is that clients be willing to accept assistance. Each month, the outreach team travels by car and by foot to supply emergency services for up to 650 individuals and their pets—with each volunteer serving a minimum of six months in order to build rapport with clients. Since its founding in 2006, the organization has served more than 51,000 sandwiches/meals and distributed more than 11,000 pairs of socks—the most requested item from clients due to limited access to laundry services.PO Box 971Woodinville, WA US
The Composed DomainRead MoreEach 90-minute assessment begins with the clutter cleanser journeying into the depths of a disheveled dwelling or office to observe, assess, and alter the clutter and negative energies that have taken up residence. Together, the professional organizer and the client identify the desired goals of a less-cluttered space. The services of The Composed Domain will help label useless items as clutter and facilitate the release of unneeded possessions into the wild, where they will forever roam the dumpsters and recycling bins of the earth. After the appointment, an old and busy space will transform into new and organized spaciousness.17327 1st Ave NWShoreline, WA US
Sibling HouseRead MoreSibling House's network of homes works to help brothers and sisters continue living together in a safe, loving environment while they are separated from their birth parents. The state or a private agency places children into this network, which consists of approved, licensed foster homes that are willing to take siblings. Along with raising public awareness of foster care and supporting an environment of family unity, Sibling House assists foster parents by providing food, clothing, household furnishings, and donated vehicles, as well as knowledge and experience.18518 Corliss Avenue NorthShoreline, WA US
HopelinkRead MoreHopelink strives to promote self-sufficiency for all members of the community through housing, financial assistance, family development, and other social services. Since 1971, the organization has helped tens of thousands of people move from vulnerability and crisis to independence and stability. Along with adult literacy programs, school-supply programs, and career development, Hopelink runs End Summer Hunger, an annual food and funds drive that helps ensure children from families with low incomes have enough to eat throughout the summer. Last year, End Summer Hunger—with the help of individuals, businesses, and schools—raised $181,439, plus thousands of pounds of food to meet the increased demands at Hopelink's food banks during the summer months.10675 Willows Rd.

Jon Jones will be hard to beat. Seems like a good person too. I'm a fan.
The ultra hyped Brandon Vera vs Jon Jones slug fest at last nights UFC on Versus 1, ended prematurely after Jones landed a vicious elbow to Brandon Vera face, causing him to squints in pain. Steve Cofield confirmed that he broke his face in three different places and due to the severeness of the injuries, he can't board a plane.
Jones gives credit to coach Greg Jackson's ground and pound fighting system during last nights press conference,
"That elbow is all Greg Jackson. He has a very distinct ground and pound system. If you realize that Georges St. Pierre does the same style elbow, it's a Team Jackson thing. I found my home. Everything is working"
Jon Jones will be hard to beat. Seems like a good person too. I'm a fan.
How badly do you have to get your face broken, to be unable to board a plane…. dang!
what a night of beatings huh? i really thought Vera would have put up a better fight than he did…..it was like he didnt care or something .. and Gonzaga looked like he didnt want to get hit after the very first jab that landed …and Irvin got hit in the same place as Silva hit him it looked like ..
Vera cared plenty and was working towards an arm bar…then that elbow kinda changed things so much dude couldn't even get on a plane. He curled up so quick I thought immediately that it was his orbital bone. That was a viscous clean elbow…SMACK!!! CRACK!!!
orbital bone?
Ryan, it's the part of your cranium (that means head) where your eye sits. the bone material around your eye, which technically creates your eye socket.
I remember the first UFCs, with no rules or time limits. As the rules started to come in, Initally, I was against them. As time went on, I started to realize that there had to be some rules or MMA would not be able continue. I now am starting to think that elbows to the face should be illegal due to 3 reasons: 1. Fights being stopped due to the blood; 2. Serious injuries occuring; 3. Objectivity of an illegal versus legal elbow.
As fighters continue to see the devastation that elbows cause, we will continue to see fights stopped, serious injuries occuring and possibly even careers ended. We have recently seen vicious elbows landed on Miguel Torres and the one on Brandon Vera. Someone could seriously die from an elbow. For the true MMA fan, I get frustrated when a fight ends due to a cut from elbow. Rarely do you see fights end due to a cut from a punch. Some really good fight have ended because of a cut or some fights, possibly Vera Vs. Jones, never materialized into the fight that could have been because of elbows. Finally, the thing that frustrates me the most is illegal elbows that are allowed. Kenny Florian beat Louzon with questionable elbows and even Anderson Silva's elbows on Travis Lutter were questionable. In theory, the definition is clear but at full speed reality, it is hard to define…at least LIVE.
What does everyone think about elbows?
Yeah, but there is no such thing as an "orbital" bone. The orbit is made up of many bones. Reguardless, i see where you are coming from on elbows and I would say it is a tough call. Making a rule that eliminates elbows all together would kind of make it feel like less of mma because they don't get to use all their weapons. I don't think I would be for it.
BJJ Brown belt, Great point well made – I totally agree!
Agree, There have been way to many gashes of late that cause good fights to be stopped. Elbows should be pulled back to standing only IMO.
google "orbital bone" … jeeeezzzz…didn't know you wanted to be a doctor. haha. you want to pick a fight with someone online you can find better things to attack than someone using a widely-used term "orbital bone" hahaha. but do what you want, brother, do what you gotta do to feel better about yourself. peace.
I understand your points, BJJ, but I really can't agree with banning elbows. To me, someone who started in Muay Thai, it would be against one of the main things that I feel distinguishes MMA from Boxing or Kickboxing. I don't like seeing kickboxing fights that don't allow knees or elbows. But that is obviously just my preference.
I'm with you Cobra, it is part of MMA.
i'm fine with elbows being allowed. i completely disagreed with kicks/knees to the head of downed opponents from the pride rules. which was interesting because if i remember correctly in pride you weren't allowed to elbow, right?
Sorry Cobra, not trying to start anything. For some reason it is one of those things that bugs me. Anyway I agree, it is a part of MMA. I feel like they are trying to make too many rules that will end up changing the sport.
No hard feelings, Ryan, I understand. Geez, what is this a kinder gentler Cage Today? Say it ain't so! hahaha. Where's 69 triangle to start some shit? Actually…yes…this is MUCH better.

SEATTLE - All newborns in Washington state get their hearing tested before parents take them home from the hospital.
So why are many infants with hearing problems missing out on early treatment?
Danielle Lichtenhan's parents work with her each day on speech. The 4-year-old has been profoundly deaf since birth.
An electronic device called a cochlear implant gives her a sense of hearing. She's had it since age 2.

"Sometimes I think if we'd have gotten it done just a little bit earlier she might be speaking a little better," said Tricia Lichtenhan, Danielle's mother.
Newborns at all birthing hospitals in Washington get screened for hearing loss. Still many babies who fail the test miss out on early intervention.
That's according to Dr. Susan Norton, chief of audiology at Seattle Children's. She says screening results get reported to the Washington state Department of Health. But the staff there is not allowed to contact parents, so more than a quarter of babies with hearing loss aren't followed.
"Since the department of health can only contact the child's primary care provider, if they have no primary care provider they have no way of following up," Norton said.
When Danielle failed her newborn hearing test her mother says the screener, and later her pediatrician, told her the cause could be debris that can lodge in a baby's ears during birth.
"Over time it might fall out. And he did a kind of check over with her, and so we just kind of waited," Tricia said.
Danielle is catching up. But Dr. Norton says studies clearly show why it's important to keep children from falling through the cracks in care.
"Children with hearing loss who receive intervention by six months of age have significantly better speech and language skills, and academic skills than children who are identified and begin intervention later," she said.
Little Jordan's mother says early detection helped him. When he was two weeks old a test confirmed moderate hearing loss. He has worn hearing aids since infancy, and gets speech therapy.
"He's right on track with his speech and development," said Janice DeMooy. "And he's a happy boy."
The condition is rare, but the majority of children with congenital hearing loss are born to hearing parents.

By Rosanne BowmanCOLUMBUS GROVE — Matthew Schroeder was just 18 years old when a patch of black ice changed his life forever. The then high school senior was driving to work on a cold, rainy day on Dec. 6, 1997, when he hit some black ice. His car spun out of control and wrapped around a telephone pole. To compound matters, a transformer fell onto his car. When firefighters and medical personnel arrived, live wires kept them from getting Schroeder out of the car for almost an hour. He sustained serious injuries in the accident, including two broken vertebrae in his neck and a traumatic brain injury.After spending just more than 10 weeks in a coma, Schroeder came back to consciousness, but the news was not good. Doctors informed him that his chances of walking again were extremely slim, and they also told him he would have to relearn the most basic things like speaking and eating, but Schroeder rose to the challenge."Nobody knows what you can do, but you," Schroeder said. "They did not think I'd amount to anything after the accident, but I kept trying and trying. My speech keeps getting better — it's not great, but it's understandable, and now I can get around without anything."It took Schroeder over two years to get to the point of walking without help, but with his motto of "failure is the first step to success," he achieved his goal. By 1999, he was able to start driving again. "I was always a big sports person," he said. "I played basketball and baseball, and you learn in sports to keep trying and working."He also went on to get both his bachelor's and master's degrees in education, graduating in 2003. Since that time, Schroeder has been speaking to area schools, athletic groups and churches sharing the story of his recovery to inspire and encourage others to achieve their own goals, no matter what the obstacles. 'I want to share with people not to let others opinions and thoughts negatively influence what you can do with hard work," he said. "A lot of things can be done with dedication and determination."Currently, he averages about four to five speaking events each school year, but would like to increase that number. Don Huysman, principal at Delphos St. John's High School, felt Schroeder did an excellent job relating to the students and plans to have him back at a later date. "The kids still talk about it," he said. "They were in awe of what he'd been through and how he's overcome that. If he wasn't good, I wouldn't have him back."Alan Unterbrink, the guidance counselor at Delphos St. John's High School added, "Matt is a very caring and compassionate person who cares a great deal about helping young people making good choices."While Schroeder does not hold a teaching position, he feels his presentations educate in a different way. "I feel like I teach more in my presentations and get out a deeper message than I ever could in a classroom," he said.He has also been hard at work on an autobiographical, self-help book. The book, entitled "The Rest is up to You," is tentatively scheduled to be released in June. It will be available in both e-book and traditional format through his website www.mattschroeder.org. "I don't have the release date yet," he said, "but I'll be getting the proofs this week. It all depends on if there are mistakes in that or not — and there probably will be. I am hoping it will be available in June sometime."He self-published the book through Create Space and has been working on it for over eight years. Because of the accident, he still deals with tremors in his hands, which make typing difficult. "English was my least favorite subject in school," he said. "It kind of blows my mind that I'm writing this book, but I think it is the best way to help a lot of people and get my message out."Although he has made a lot of progress in recovering from his accident, he still struggles with some things. "I think a lot faster than I talk," he said. "That can be very frustrating. Also, things like fluidity of movement and the shaky hand movement, those things are the most difficult for me. I wish I could run, too."Schroeder, who is a long time member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, has relied heavily on his faith for a positive perspective. While the accident turned Schroeder's life upside down, he said he would not change things even if he could go back and relive that day. "I know it sounds dumb to say I would go through the accident again, and obviously, I wouldn't choose the pain of the accident again," he said, "but I want to follow God's plan. I believe that everything that happens, God has a plan and it's perfect."To find out more about Matt Schroeder's speaking ministry or his upcoming book, visit him at www.mattschroeder.org or on his Facebook page, "The Rest is up to You."

Razer Goes Full Spectrum Color With All-New Chroma Feature
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) COLOGNE, GERMANY -- (Marketwired) -- 08/13/14 -- Razer�, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the all-new Chroma feature that allows full-spectrum, color-customizable lighting for enabled Razer devices. The Chroma feature also allows multiple devices to sync lighting colors and patterns and comes with an open SDK that enables game developers to integrate advanced lighting effects that are customizable on a game-by-game basis.
Razer will be updating its 2015/2016 range of peripherals starting with the BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard the DeathAdder gaming mouse, and the Kraken 7.1 headset with the all-new Chroma feature -- fully customizable, full spectrum lighting with inter-device color synchronization via Razer Synapse. Each of these devices will now come with the option of 16.8 million customizable colors and a range of effects through Razer's cloud-based hardware configurator Razer Synapse.
"Our new range of peripherals that feature Chroma customizable backlighting is another step towards full personal customization and to interconnect our gaming tech," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "Chroma represents more than just multicolor, it opens up limitless personalization options for gamers to play with and we even have a Chroma Software Developer Kit for game developers to integrate their games to provide even more customization in the future." All Chroma enabled devices come with distinct lighting effects that are designed to synchronize perfectly with each other, with the following lighting patterns available for selected enabled products: Spectrum cycling: Slowly cycles through the entire spectrum of colors for a subtle yet visually stunning look. Breathing: Gently pulses in a color of choice every 7 seconds, replicating the steady breathing pattern that is distinct to all Razer mice. Static: Pick any color from the selection of 16.8 million options to illuminate the ear cups on your Kraken 7.1, the scroll wheel and Razer logo on your DeathAdder or each individual key on your BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma Custom (For BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma only): Effortlessly set the color for each individual key on your Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma through Razer Synapse with your mouse cursor, and create your own kaleidoscope of colors that is unique to you. Custom - Preloaded Templates (For BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma only): Preloaded custom lighting templates optimized for FPS, MOBA, MMO and RTS games that give you the unfair advantage regardless of which game you're playing. Reactive (For BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma only): Lights up upon actuation and stays lit in short, medium, or fast mode for a trailing effect, that makes the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma brighter the faster a user types. Wave (For BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma only): Animates all colors in a continuous wave of rainbow lights, for a truly energetic and vibrant display of constantly changing colors.
The Chroma SDK will allow game developers to take advantage of the multitude of lighting options available for Chroma-enabled devices. For example, custom lighting alerts can be created that flash red when a player is killed or when a base is under attack.
The Chroma-enabled Razer peripherals will be available starting September 2014 via www.razerzone.com.
The Chroma SDK will be available in late 2014.

Jose Ramirez Barreto
There will be tremendous pressure on Brazil this time. Being a player, I know how nervous the players must be. I'm quite sure Brazil wouldn't want to waste this opportunity. We're hosting the World Cup. We have the whole crowd backing us, and even the media says we're favourites.
There's a lot of talk about home advantage. Honestly, it doesn't matter where the World Cup is held. When you are wearing the national team shirt, there is going to be pressure. After all, you carry the name of your country. But our players are quite experienced.
Neymar will shoulder the country's dreams. He's a fabulous player. To be bought by Barcelona for so much money says a lot about his quality. But he's coming up, he's growing. He's getting better by the day. In three years' time, he'll be as good as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi hasn't had a great season, but I think he has it in him to perform on the biggest stage like Diego Maradona and Luis Ronaldo did for Argentina and Brazil, respectively.
England, too, have a good team. In the past, they had many stars who clicked together. That's not the case this time around. They have a young, fast and dynamic team. I would say they are the dark horse.
You cannot leave out the defending champions, Spain. They failed to win the FIFA Confederations Cup, but their experience will help them. They'll know what kind of conditions to expect.
The people in Brazil are over-excited. I think we can be over-excited, but the team should just be excited. That's enough for them. Of course, there are some problems too. A small minority of people are staging protests. I don't think they can create too much trouble. Nobody can stop football in Brazil.
—Barreto, widely considered the finest foreigner to have played in India, represented Mohun Bagan for over a decade
Roberto Mendes da Silva
The Brazil team is very young. Most of our players haven't played in a World Cup before. Playing in Brazil isn't easy. The start is difficult, but once they get going, nothing can stop them. There's a good and bad side of playing at home. The team doesn't need motivation. Playing in front of your home crowd gives you enough motivation. I think that's the reason France won it in 1998. There will be problems if we lose early. Then the crowd goes against you, and that gets you more nervous. But I think this team can handle pressure. Most players ply their trade in Europe, so that's a plus point.
And we have Neymar who has done more for the national team than Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi have done for theirs. I feel sad when I see him play for Barcelona in a position that doesn't suit him. Because when they bought Neymar, they bought a different Neymar. He used to be free on the ground and play to his potential. Now he's a player who plays in the corner. When the ball comes to him he passes back. He doesn't have the freedom that Messi or Ronaldo have. With Brazil, he is a totally different player and I'm sure that you're going to see a different Neymar in the World Cup.
Germany have the team to reach the final. The have a mixture of old and young players. Also, most of them play together, so that's an advantage. England too have a good team. But in this short kind of tournament, you can't say anything. Did we expect to see Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final? Likewise, England, too, could reach the final. It depends on their attitude.
Nevertheless, I'll be supporting Brazil. Not because I'm a Brazilian, but because I genuinely believe we have the best side. Also, we want to win to hunt down the ghost of 1950 when we lost to Uruguay in the final. Our players know that they won't get the opportunity of playing at home for a very long time. It's going to be interesting, and Brazil are going to put up a tremendous show.
—Da Silva, better known as Beto, is a four-time I-League champion. He plays for Dempo now

Bodegas Izadi Rioja Reserva 2007
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
A modern style Reserva, with deep, comlex flavors and aromas. The complex aromas have hints of red berries and smokiness from the fine wood. This wine is flavorful and velvety in the mouth, well structured and a has a long, elegant finish.
Blend: 100% Tempranillo
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Spicy, smoke-accented scents of dried cherry and plum, with subtle nuances of tobacco and printers' ink. Supple and broad on the palate, offering sweet dark fruit flavors and a hint of bitter chocolate. The persistent finish leaves notes of candied rose and bitter cherry behind. In a traditional style, and delicious right now."
Bodegas Izadi Winery
Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Izadi aims to produce wines that express the character of the local varieties. They are developing wines towards a non-typical Rioja. Fresh wines with a touch of a more modern element - although not disregarding tradition. The word Izadi means Nature. The vineyards of Izadi are located deep in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, in the triangle formed by three villages, Villabuena, Ábalos and Samaniego. View all Bodegas Izadi Wines
About Rioja(ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache)), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost 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.

Peckover House and Garden
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Notice: Unfortunately we have had to cancel our Bee Weekend on the 20th - 21st June. We apologise if you were planning to come to the event, and we hope to have the event in 2016. Thank you Peckover House
Elegant Georgian town house with wonderful walled garden
Peckover House is a secret gem, an oasis hidden away in an urban environment. A classic Georgian merchant's town house, it was lived in by the Peckover family for 150 years.
The Peckovers were staunch Quakers, which meant they had a very simple lifestyle - yet at the same time they ran a successful private bank. Both facets of their life can be seen as you wander through the house and gardens.
The gardens themselves are outstanding - 0.8 hectares (2 acres) of sensory delight, complete with orangery, summer-houses, croquet lawn and rose garden with more than 60 species of rose.
Take a virtual tour

SRINAGAR: Tens of thousands of people from across the Kashmir valley arrived here on Monday to take part in the march organised by the Hurriyat-sponsored Coordination Committee to submit a memorandum to the United Nations office here, seeking its intervention in the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
The programme, in which women and children too participated, was peaceful, with police and the CRPF observing the maximum restraint.
People started reaching Srinagar from early morning in buses, cars, jeeps, trucks, tractors and two-wheelers to march to the Tourist Reception Centre ground near the office of the United Nations Military Observers Group in India and Pakistan. Enthusiastic crowds spread over several kilometres raised slogans against the security forces. The processionists, bands tied to their heads and holding black and green flags, asserted that they would not compromise on the basic demand for resolution of the Kashmir issue.
Though the atmosphere was highly surcharged, police and the CRPF exhibited utmost restraint and did not stop anybody. A police official said that 450 to 500 memoranda were submitted.
The resolution was earlier read out by moderate faction leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in the presence of JKLF leader Yasin Malik and Shabir Shah. Mirwaiz also addressed the gathering. He said the right to self-determination was an inalienable right of the Kashmiri people.

Police Chief William McManus said the body was discovered by a passer-by around 7 a.m.Tuesday near the Paradise Gentleman's Club in the 4000 block of NorthPan Am Expressway.
Officers said the unidentified woman appeared to be between 30 and 40 years old. Police talked with club managers, who told detectives they didn't recognize the victim as a club employee or customer.
McManus said there was no trauma to the woman's body and that it appeared she had died somewhere else and had been dumped at the club's location.

UNIQUE: Shanti Stupa constructed by the Japanese is a tourist attraction in Ladakh.
LEH: Although tourists are streaming in from different parts of the world, the cultural and ancient sites here are crying for funds. Many of them are decaying and crumbling despite local efforts.
The city's cynosure a crumbled nine-storey palace of the 16th century that towers over the Leh old quarters itself points to the threat faced by similar structures in this cold desert.
The palace was the residence of the royal family of Ladakh-Namgayals and was built by Tashi Namgyal in the 16th century.
His rule extended across Spiti (upper reaches of Himachal Pradesh) and western Tibet up to the Mayumla beyond the sacred sites of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
The building constructed in Tibetan architectural style is said to have inspired the Potala in Lhasa, Tibet, built half-a-century later.
The palace is now in ruins but the temple structures associated with it remain intact. Walking through the palace is a risky affair as staircases are quite unstable.
"We ask the tourists to be careful whenever they visit the palace as the structure is highly unstable," says Lekh Raj, a State Government appointee.
Shey, ancient capital of the region with its palace and temples, is in no better shape. Itsbright murals were partially restored in the mid-1980s. This building also requires renovation to prevent further decay.
The Zorawar Singh Fort, named after the person who merged the Ladakh region with the State of Jammu and Kashmir in the 19th century after his conquest of the region, now houses the Ladakh scouts personnel.
The fort made up of local material is slowly crumbling. Many of the monasteries, especially those in the peripheral areas, also face the same problem, as a huge sum is required for their maintenance.
Hemis Gompa is the biggest and most famous monasteries in Ladakh. This richest Gompa in the whole of Ladakh and is dedicated to Guru Padama Sambhava.
The monastery, located in the beautiful landscape of theHemis National Park, was founded in 1630 AD.
There are new constructions in the town, which are turning into tourist attractions. The Shanti Stupa built by the Japanese has become the most famous tourist attraction; its architecture is different from the Ladakhi style.
Legislator and hotelier Pintoo Narboo says: "There is [an] urgent need to protect the ancient sites. Though the locals are trying their best, it requires more funds and specialised inputs for saving the unique cultural heritage of the country."

Excellent writeup Matt. I thank you and I'm sure the op will dig it also.
I have a 210 that I use in manual mode on my 645afd and you can get these real cheap.
I mention this because the OP mentioned that focal length. I think I paid just no more than 65usd and see them for that quite often.
Thats one of the benefits of these kits. Excellent optics at really good deals presently.

Great place to stay slope side.
February 8, 2015
Condo was very comfortable with everything you need for a weekend at Sugarloaf. Close to chairlift and directly across from pool building. Kids had a great time swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. All in all a great weekend. Hosts were very accommodating and had all the information about the condo and mountain readily available.

There seems to be a suggestion of defiance about Ashley Greene's demeanor in these pics of the Paris premiere of whichever TWILIGHT movie is coming out. As if she were saying to the world: "Yeah, I'm in a terrible movie, but I got paid a shitload to do it and I'm hotter than any of you, so bite me."Or maybe she's just angry about the fact that she had to pose for the cameras with her rather creepy co-star Robert Pattinson - a scene I have blessedly spared you from having to witness. Whatever it is, her ass looks hot in that dress, so it's all good.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Ani DiFranco
Up Up Up Up Up Up
Righteous Babe
Calling Ani Difranco's music gawky and overemotive is like criticizing the Ramones for constantly playing the same three chords. The limitations of her technique are a deliberate aesthetic choice. DiFranco overtly works to propel the conventions of confessional songwriting to their most embarrassing, icky extreme, to prove that a thing worth saying is worth saying as foolishly as possible. It helps get the point across.
True to form, she sabotages Up Up Up's opening tirade against the war on the poor with knee-jerk potshots at "talk-show TV" and jibes at middle-class stereotypes of "the Cleavers and the Bradys," only to recover a song later with the pissy, pithy line "Virtue is relative at best/There's nothing worse than a sunset/When you're driving due west." That accomplished, she sets to work silencing concerns about her technique's efficacy with the anti-drug song "Come Away From It," which is precisely as gawky and overemotive as a wake-up call to an addict should be.
But as a perceptive student of the mass media she disparages, DiFranco is suitably wary of slipping into self-parody, and she's savvy enough to know that by your 13th album even hard-line fans expect some feint toward maturity. So, on the title track, she sings of "learning [that] the spaces she leaves/Have their own things to say," while striving to "make music like mercy [that] has nothing to prove." The insight of this ars poetica hardly curtails her verbosity, but it does encourage her to sing with a newfound restraint that diverts some attention from the lyrics.
More important, it encourages her to put as much care into her music as the illusion of spontaneity requires. Gone are the pasted-on horn intrusions that 1998's Little Plastic Castle offered as a pop move. In their place is a steady three-piece combo that receptively fills in the rhythmic stagger DiFranco once sketched with her own acoustic guitar. The sprung, jittery funk of "Jukebox" reconfigures the Gang of Four as loose-limbed post-folk, while the organ dub of "Know Now Then" is as disorienting as Tricky at his most claustrophobic.
But it's on the album-closer, "Hat Shaped Hat," a 12-minute assortment of repeated and discarded riffs, changeable beats, and call-and-response melodies, that the interaction between musicians triumphs. It's enough to make a folk fan believe that collective minimalism can sound as daring as personal self-expression, even if DiFranco still has her doubts.
