Pick Hits
Feeling they have nothing to prove and plenty to get right, Hesta Prynne, the retagged Spero, and a funkier Sprout throw themselves into what they love with no discernible concern for cred. Except insofar as all voices are different, which counts, the music on this feisty, funny rap album isn't newjust irresistible, like the regional pop crossovers of the pre-Hammer/bling era, the same golden age underground sobersides remember as the heyday of obscure Eric B. soundalikes. DJ Muggs, Pete Rock, ?uestlove, and the High and Mighty all pitch in on a record that calls up memories of Hitman Howie Tee and ends with an LFO rip that shoulda conquered Z100. Hip they're not, I know. Can't be because they're female, or white, or suburban. Right? So figure it's because they're saneso sane they invoke John Kerry's square name. A
"Jewish-Ukrainishe Freundschaft," it stands for; "Afterparty on the Frontline," it's subtitled. As Gogol Bordello mastermind Eugene Hutz asks, "Where the fuck is for example Gypsy-disco-punk for the after party. Where is Arabic-dub-sextura and where the fuck is the soundtrack for a Balkan train robbery." The answer is self-evident: Hutz sings, so does Jerusalem-based Indian classical music devotee Victoria Hanna, Gogol's Oren Kaplan is on guitar, not to be confused with ex-Gogol saxophonist Ori Kaplan, and driving driving driving is Big Lazy drummer Tamir Muskat. Hutz furnishes conceptual bravado, Muskat renders Hutz's songwriting irrelevant, and Ori keeps butting in. The intensity recalls the Bulgarian wedding sax of Yuri Yunakov, only the multiculturalism plus Hutz's unrelenting sense of humor means it never gets samey. World-rock not en españolin the universal language, English. A MINUS
Foster presaged rock and roll"Oh! Susanna" was his "Louie Louie"but rock and roll barely knows he existed. Except for John Prine drawling "My Old Kentucky Home" in gravelly tones no minstrel troupe would have stood for, the only fast one that does justice to Foster's uptempo mode is BR549's clog-stepped "Don't Bet Money on the Shanghai," about a Chinese fighting cock who decreased the songwriter's whiskey intake. Oh wellno point lamenting the rhythm sections of Nashville roots fanciers, and anyway, like most pop tunesmiths Foster was what the word says, a melody man first. As a result, normally snoozeworthy schoolteachers like Judith Edelman, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and David Ball, who does his level best to help us forget that "Old Folks at Home" ever had anything to do with darkies, fit the bill on this worthy effort to reclaim the master for the American vernacular. Inauthentically quaint here (a santour, a toumbak, and an armonica pop up, and once Foster's antiquity is signified by a now extinct guitar not yet invented when he was alive) and anachronistically subtle there (before the microphone, even parlor singers pro-jec-ted), it nevertheless feels more or less the way one suspects Foster must have. Special kudos to Henry Kaiser and Mavis Staples for making their weirdness and grit blend right in. A MINUS
Genius Loves Company
(Concord/Hear Music)
Accepting help is a great virtue in the dying, and Charles goes out like a lion by surrendering control. The duet partners mean less than the producersConcord's John Burk augmented by Billy Joel hand Phil Ramone. Their good taste can't stifle Charles, but it can protect him from his own weaknesses, which ever since he got into publishing have included songwriters who owe him points. Instead Charles picks songs for posterity, and even James Taylor's "Sweet Potato Pie" sounds like a standard. But it's crucial that Taylor eases the master's vocal burden, as do Van Morrison, Gladys Knight, and Bonnie Raittand Norah Jones, Diana Krall, and Natalie Cole, who's a good half of why this "Fever" is up near Peggy Lee's and Little Willie John's. Elton John and Michael McDonald, on the other hand, end up where Charles often did in his fifties, so set on proving their physical prowess that meaning gets away from them. And Willie Nelson reminds us that past a certain age even the shrewdest singer can't cut it on the wrong day. This is why it's good Charles owned the studio. He got do-overs, and he took them. A MINUS
The Dirty South
(New West)
Class warfare meets gangsta-rock. The imagistic density of the songs about working for a living till you dieespecially Jason Isbell's poetic "The Day John Henry Died" and Patterson Hood's narrative "Puttin' People on the Moon"makes the vicious cycle seem more inescapable; their class consciousness justifies the badass nihilism of the anti-Buford Pusser triptych like ghetto sob stories about dope lords' pain do, only without the sentimentality. Then there are the two about successful musicians. Sam Phillips was OK for a rich man, but he could only take Carl Perkins so far. And Rick Danko ends up not much better off alive than Richard Manuel is dead. A MINUS
(Rough Trade)
They didn't start as fast or punky as their reputation, and this seat-of-the-pants follow-up, every song cut quick lest Peter Doherty take a powder, often seems fragile, offhand, tentative, even enervated. But this isn't a weaknessit only makes their sound more their own. As with the Heartbreakers on the precious occasions when they jelled, their punk is overwhelmed by unhinged lyricismwith drum powerhouse Gary Powell assuring that they rock when need be regardless. A MINUS

Chafee vs. Laffey
Hotline reports that the Republican 72 hour program has been activated to help Sen. Lincoln Chafee in his primary against Club for Growth-backed conservative Stephen Laffey:
Workers start arriving Friday and will be charged with sorting out the mess that Washington operatives believe is the Chafee campaign. First task may be to get Republican voters to forget Chafee's erratic performance in the last two of the four broadcast debates between the incumbent and his lively challenger, Cranston mayor Stephen Laffey.It's hard to tell how close the race actually is, because Rhode Island allows Independents to vote in the Republican primary and it's hard to gauge their turnout likelihood or voting preferences. But a theoretical poll for the general election shows likely Democratic nominee Sheldon Whitehouse in a dead heat with Chafee and more than 30 points ahead of Laffey. This highlights a very real dilemma for frustrated conservative voters who want to see real conservatives in the House and Senate. In a liberal northeastern state such as Rhode Island, is it better to nominate a true conservative who gets trounced in the general election by the Democrat, or nominate a liberal Republican like Chafee who is far from ideal, but preferable to a Democrat? What if Chafee is defeated in the primary and Democrats end up taking over the Senate by one vote, with Chafee's seat swinging control over to the Democrats? There is clearly also a compelling case to be made that Republicans don't deserve to be in power if they are going to abandon conservative principles, but it is also worth considering whether someone like Chafee is the best chance Republicans have of winning in Rhode Island.
I think the Chafey-Laffey race also highlights something else. For all the David Brooks and Andrew Sullivan talk about a Lieberman-McCain party, the electorate seems to be sending the opposite message so far this election season. Whether it's Lamont vs. Lieberman, Chafee vs. Laffey, or Walberg vs. Schwartz in Michigan, people seem to want more polarization and real differences between the two parties, rather than more bi-partisanship.

Philly newspapers shedding 40 workers this month
PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia's two largest newspapers will lose 40 more newsroom employees this month, prompting union leaders Thursday to accuse management of bungling a tablet computer launch, censoring stories and deriding print newspapers as "legacy products."
The losses are just the latest setback for staffers, who have gone through repeated rounds of cutbacks and might soon have their fifth owner in six years.
A group of local powerbrokers and philanthropists hopes to buy Philadelphia Media Network from the New York hedge funds that took control after a 2010 bankruptcy auction. The sale price has plummeted from $515 million in 2006 to $139 million in 2009 to perhaps less than $70 million this year.
The hedge funds installed former Newsweek.com executive Greg Osberg as publisher in late 2010. The guild attacked his leadership in a sharply worded memo Thursday.
"Perhaps instead of killing stories he didn't like about the sale of the company and trying to be seen as some sort of digital visionary by holding press conferences at the Academy of Natural Sciences, ... creating a poorly launched tablet and worrying about apps that make a few dollars, Osberg should be focused on properly staffing the newspapers," the local Newspaper Guild said in a memo Thursday.
Osberg didn't immediately return a message. Spokesman Mark Block defended the tablet launch but said the company won't debate the criticisms of management in public.
"Neither the region nor the company would be well served debating the guild's comments about leadership and products," Block said.
According to the union, 21 people are taking buyouts and 19 full- and part-time editorial workers will be laid off by March 31. The Inquirer's Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, Tony Auth, is among them.
The company plans to merge newsroom functions at the rival newspapers, relying on a single beat reporter, for instance, to provide event coverage for the broadsheet Inquirer and tabloid Daily News.
The newspapers will also leave their headquarters building this summer and move to city-subsidized space in a vacant department store. The building was sold as part of the bankruptcy.
The Newspaper Guild questions whether the job cuts are necessary, given what it called $6 million in union concessions in the 2010 contract.
"Whether Osberg wants to admit it or not, the print editions of the Inquirer and Daily News, which he offensively labels `legacy products,' are responsible for generating more than 90 percent of the revenue," the guild said.
However, Block said the cuts are part of an industrywide trend and aren't connected to the sale.
Cable TV mogul and philanthropist H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest leads the group trying to negotiate a deal with the hedge funds. The investor group includes powerful New Jersey Democrat George E. Norcross III, former New Jersey Nets owner Lewis Katz and 94-year-old business magnate Raymond Perelman. It's unclear if former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who announced the bid last month, is still involved. His spokeswoman has said he cannot comment because of a confidentiality clause.
Observers believe the sale may be completed by March 31. Lenfest doesn't expect any news this week.

Should the ProStaff 90 be redeveloped?

Show me proof of Tour 90's construction. Otherwise, I'm not a believer of these "n-coded", "karophite (k-factor)", and "basalt (BLX)" construction. A while back, when the k90 was still readily available, the spec sheet had "80%/20% graphite/karophite". Hmmm, sounds familiar?
I've hit with the 85 and my blx90, and they feel similar enough. I'm going to say this based on feel. Unless there is evidence suggesting otherwise, I have no reason to believe Tour 90s are anything but a 80%/20% graphite/kevlar construction.
This concludes my rant on "technology". Sorry, I meant marketing.
BUT, I'm telling you. All of that is going to change. Adjustable tensioning and de-molecularization of graphite is happening.
The PS 6.0 85/95 feel noticeably different from all the different Tour 90s and all the Tour 90s feel different from each other, i.e., the HPS Tour 90 feels different from the nCode 90, which feels different from the K90, which feels different from the BLX90, which feels different from the BLX PS 90. They each have their own unique feels, some more subtle than others. I do know for a fact that both the HPS Tour 90 and the nCode 90 contain HyperCarbon. With the K90, they took out the HyperCarbon but kept in the SiO2 molecules from the nCode 90, which is probably why the K90 feels closer to the PS 6.0 85/95 than the others. Both the BLX90 and the BLX PS 90 feel more muted than the K90, with the BLX PS 90 feeling softer. None of them feel exactly like the PS 6.0 85/95, so there is definitely more in them than just plain old 80% graphite/20% Kevlar. Also, at least the HPS Tour 90 and nCode 90 are Double Braided (graphite/HyperCarbon + graphite/Kevlar), while the PS 6.0 85/95 is just braided (graphite/Kevlar).

Grant's characters often express their grief or heartbreak in unusual ways. In "Plow Man," a man channels his pain over the loss of his wife into a strange fixation with snow plows. In "My Husband's Jump"--the Journey Prize winner for the best Canadian short story of 2004--the wife of a famous ski jumper who inexplicably vanished in mid-air copes with her pain by finding God, a development she likens to inheriting a "very large Saint Bernard." ("What I would feed him?" she wonders. "Where would he sleep? Could he cure me of loneliness, bring me a hot beverage when I was sick?") Melancholy, gentle, and mildly surreal, the stories in Making Light of Tragedy rarely fail to impress. Only in the longer stories--"The Loss of Thalia" and "Milaken," each of which describes a thorny tangle of relationships from multiple points of view--do her ambitions nearly get the better of her. But even then, Grant is capable of creating moments of sudden grace and clarity, times when there's very little separating the tragic from the comic. --Jason Anderson
'The majority of these stories ... take only a few paragraphs to assume a vivid largeness. Their worlds feel, if not always lived in, at least concrete. Happily, the book ends on a peak with "Milaken", the longest and most intimate story. Revolving around the rock-climbing title character whose father named her after his favourite brand of cement, the story highlights the greatest strengths of Grant's writing. The story is observant, playful, and empathetic. As the characters ask themselves if they would be willing to sever one of their arms and leave it trapped under a boulder forever just to go on living, we glimpse the varied ways the question echoes through their lives. Here Grant draws resonance from the hypothetical. Her rewarding excursions into this protean realm make for a promising debut.'(Stewart Cole Quill and Quire)
`Grant's Making Light of Tragedy is a book for the eclectic coffee shop, preferably midday when the café is busy and chances are good that you'll bump into someone who is curious about what you are reading -- because you will want to talk about some, if not all, of the twenty-three stories.'(Lisa Grekul event)
`This collection is worth the purchase price for the opening story alone: a wife's tale of her ski-jumper husband, who takes off in Olympic competition and just never comes down, in a scant six pages meditating touchingly and amusingly on faith, science, the media and love. Twenty-two more brief, compelling, smart and funny stories follow. Their subjects range from the nature of ugliness to the lengths one man will go to avoid shoveling snow; their wit and heart, and Grant's abundant skill, are reminiscent of the author's fellow Newfoundlander Lorrie Moore.'(The Ruminator)
`Making Light of Tragedy is aptly titled; its stories are sharp, observant and a great pleasure to read, and their mostly serious subject matter is thoroughly skewered. Grant has delivered an impressive debut. This is a provocative and engaging collection that left this writer wanting more.'(Nancy Jo Cullen Alberta Views)
`Making Light of Tragedy is a stunning debut from Jessica Grant, who gets my vote for most promising short story writer in Canada. The book collects 23 short stories and recalls in some respects the wonderful stories of David Arnason, though Grant's writing is much less fantastical and also more concerned with character. The stories are smart, funny, and even sweet at moments without becoming saccharine. There is also a certain degree of arrogance to the prose and on the part of the many first-person narrators. It's a welcoming, self-assured sort of arrogance, the kind that is sorely lacking in too much Canadian fiction.'(Jonathan Ball Prairie Fire)
`Jessica Grant (my favourite literary discovery of the year) might well be the freshest, most distinctive and original voice in the country.'(Chad Pelley Salty Ink)
`Jessica Grant's stories have a habit of cutting the legs out from under you, but they mean no harm. They just want to live under your skin for a while. Roll around in them, play with them like a lottery winner with a bathtub full of money.'(Lee Shedden The Calgary Herald)
`In her debut collection of stories, Jessica Grant displays a real gift for making light of tragedy. If that doesn't sound like much of a compliment, another way to phrase it might be making lightness from tragedy. A native of St. John's, Newfoundland, now based in Calgary (and a member along with Michael Winter, Lisa Moore, and others of St. John's remarkable Burning Rock writer's collective), Grant treats the disasters and mishaps that befall her characters not with ridicule but a wry sense of humour and a considerable amount of sympathy. That much is clear in ``Cleave,'' the story that contains the title of Grant's book. One character, who is dressed for Halloween as Virginia Woolf, explains how two women in his office came to a meeting in the guise of ``those conjoined twins from Iran.'' As you might expect, the costume is deemed to be in very poor taste. ``The VP of distribution admonished the twins for making light of tragedy,'' writes Grant. The character later finds one of the women crying in the mezzanine, stroking the wigs. ``But no one understands,'' she tells him. ``I /loved/ the conjoined twins from Iran. The night of their operation in Singapore, I kept vigil. When they died, a piece of me died too.'' '(Jason Anderson amazon.ca)
`These stories are filled with cutting, precise wit, astonishing, original imagery -- I particularly love some of the seeming throwaway lines, like ``The sky on the other side of the ceiling threatened rain,'' from ``Tuan Vu'' -- and despite the idiosyncratic nature of many of Jessica Grant's characters, true one-to-one human connection, over and over again, in situations where connection would seem unlikely, if not impossible. She manages a wonderful, delicate balancing act -- making us laugh, and enjoy, while never letting us off the hook. It's a superb work.'(Glenn Raucher amazon.com)
`Jessica Grant's story collection opens with the Journey Prize-winning ``My Husband's Jump''. An Olympic ski jumper soars over a cheering crowd into a perfect sky: up and up and ... well, up. By tale's end, he's still up, while strained efforts to make sense of it (doping investigations, wind theory, hoax, adultery) have long since come to naught. Meanwhile, his narrating spouse has attained a kind of whimsical equilibrium borne on new faith: ldquo;Lost a husband, gained a deity. What did it mean? It was like inheriting a pet, unexpectedly. A very large Saint Bernard.''
`Whimsy's appeal can easily fade. Here, Grant wields it like a veil fluttered before the light of her gathering purpose, then eased aside for a shimmering finale. With this opening, Grant plays her ace. In another 22 impulsive stories, she sails blithely through shoals of thematic and structural caprice, taking on water if never quite foundering.'(Jim Bartley Globe & Mail)
`When the narrator's husband takes his final Olympic ski jump, in the winning story ``My Husband's Jump'' by Jessica Grant, he never lands. This story suggests to us that the physical and spiritual world may be brought into occasional and very surprising contact. The husband goes up, but never comes down, leaving the wife to become a believer and the believers to cry foul. This often hilarious story struck the jury as virtually flawless. We agreed that there wasn't a word more or less than required. Jessica Grant's skilful and playful language gave wings to the story and carried us away.'(Jury's comments, the 2004 Journey Prize)

Fratelli Brovia Rocche (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2007
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
An extremely fine and elegant wine from one of the great vineyards of Castiglione Falletto. The color is garnet red with light orange colored reflections. The nose is balanced and intense with violets, strawberries, prunes, cherries, mint, woody essence, licorice and some balsamic notes. The taste begins slowly, but it grows incrementally until coating the palate.
This wine can combine with every dish (except sweets) going particularly well with meat dishes and dry mature cheese.
100% Nebbiolo
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Barolo Rocche emerges from the glass with freshly cut roses, sweet berries and spices. The Rocche is always the most open of Brovia's single vineyard Baroli. In 2007 the wine has an extra dimension of textural richness that makes it incredibly appealing even at this young stage. Floral notes reappear on the silky, pure finish. This is a fabulous showing, but the wine will be even better in a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027."
International Wine Cellar - "Good fresh, full red. Ripe currant and plum aromas lifted by a strong violet quality. Sweet, silky and light on its feet, with terrific energy and lift to the fruit and floral flavors. Wonderfully fine-grained Barolo, finishing with suave tannins that coat the front teeth. For all its early appeal, there's excellent medicinal reserve here as well."
Fratelli Brovia Winery
L'azienda Brovia is a traditional Piemontese family winegrowing estate. Giacinto Brovia began making wine there in 1863 followed by his son Antonio. Phylloxera, economic upheaval and finally the war interrupted production for almost 30 years. In 1953 Giacinto, Raffaele and Marina were old enough to take over the farm and resume winemaking. Family involvement doesn't end there however, after earning their oenology degrees, daughters Elena and Cristina have chosen to join their parents as well.
Grandfather Giacinto was a wise man and chose some of the best sites in the region for his vineyards. Brovia owns land in the best "cru" of Piedmont such as Rocche, Villero and Garblét Sue. These different vineyard plots represent a range of soil types, from heavier clay to direr limestone. The Brovias are extremely conscientious winegrowers and the accumulated experience of generations means that they know the characteristics of each of their vineyards, if not of each of the individual vines, and the wines that come from them. Nevertheless, they perform soil analyses every two years to ensure that the elements are in equilibrium for the vines to produce high quality grapes. Pruning is done with care and clusters are thinned again in the summer. Harvest is done entirely by hand and usually begins in late September with the Dolcetto, Arneis and Barbera, the Nebbiolo ripens later, near mid October.
Giancinto Brovia vinifies his wines in the classic style. Grapes are lightly crushed before going into the fermentation tanks. Fermentation generally lasts between 15 and 20 days at a temperature near 28 degrees Celsius for the Barolo, somewhat less for the other reds. the Barolo are aged for two years in "botti" made of Slavonian and French oak. The Dolcetto, Barbarseco and Barbera are aged mainly in stainless steel tanks, with a portion going into French oak barrels for 9 - 10 months. the Roero Arneis is vinified and aged in stainless steel. Brovia bottles his wines without filtration. View all Fratelli Brovia Wines
About Piedmont(PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
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.
