Construction crews have begun paving the roads where water line work has been completed, as seen here at 200 N 100 E. Price City Public Works Director Gary Sonntag said the water line project is ahead of schedule and under budget, which could allow for some extra work to be done around the city.
Price City water line work is nearing completion in some areas of the city as construction crews are paving the streets where work has been completed.
Construction crews began paving roads where lines have been extracted last week, according to Gary Sonntag, Price City public works director. Because the project is under budget, they are considering doing more work. Other piping in areas around the city that are in need of repair would be in consideration for the extra work but everything is still to be determined, according to Sonntag.
"Everything is going as planned," Sonntag said. "We have good weather and a capable contractor."
The city is employing the use of an Asphalt Zipper which is helping cut costs by reusing the gravel dug up in areas where water pipes needed to be replaced and using it to cover the spots in the road until they can be paved.
Paving work has started in the areas around 200 N. between 200 E. and 100 W. The trenches in the streets range from eight to 20 feet long and workers are getting the trenches prepped before they can be paved.
The water line construction contract was awarded to Terry R. Brotherson Excavating, based out of Mount Pleasant, for $938,450.79. The work began on Feb. 1 and is expected to be finished in August of this year.
The water lines throughout the city date back to about 1924 and are in desperate need of repair, Sonntag said. The water line project will have about 12,000 feet of lines across parts of the city creating a connection to 248 homes.
Construction crews have run into a few obstacles, but nothing to delay the completion of the project. "We are still ahead of schedule with this project," Sonntag said.

Sacramento couple to come full circle on Janey Way
For those who either grew up on or near Janey Way or for those familiar with Marty's column, it should come as no surprise that many people have a very deep-rooted love for this local street.
This fact is even more understandable since the street was constructed more than 60 years ago.
But nonetheless, the great number of stories that derive from Janey Way can seem quite remarkable when considering that the street is a mere 909 feet long and never included more than its current total of 32 houses – three of which are actually duplexes.
Certainly, this article is not intended to replace Marty's popular column. So, be sure to read his current "Janey Way Memories."
Instead, this first and only edition of "More Janey Way Memories" is presented solely to tell the story of one more person who grew up on Janey Way and his lifelong love for this East Sacramento street and his current project to preserve a portion of its past.
This person is Tom Hart, who grew up on Janey Way.
Tom, 57, who follows Marty's column, is familiar with many of the column's related stories and people and can sometimes even read about himself, is working on a project that will bring him back to his old neighborhood.
Dust has been flying, machinery has been running off and on and hammers have been pounding at the old Hart house since last July.
This activity, said Tom, who is of Scottish, Irish and English ancestry, is part of a project that will fulfill his dream to move back into his childhood home, where he grew up with his mother Rose (Hawkins) Hart, his sister – the former Susan Hart, now Susan Chevassau – and for a shorter period of time, his father, Bernie, who passed away in 1961.
"When my mother (who passed away in the home on Dec. 19, 2001) was sick and I was staying with her, we would talk in the evenings and one of the things that I told her is I wanted to move back home," Tom said. "That really warmed her heart and made her feel happy that her son was going to be moving back home and back into the neighborhood."
The remodeling project includes the addition of about 400 square feet of livable space with the expansion of the living room and master bedroom, a new master bathroom, a new laundry room and the addition of more closet space and a covered porch area behind the house. Additionally, the old garage was demolished and replaced with a two and a half-car garage, the roof and windows were replaced and new insulation was installed throughout the home.
Tom, a 1971 graduate of Sacramento High School, said that although he had hoped to move into the house with his wife Diana by Christmastime, he is now setting a more realistic goal of once again becoming a Janey Way resident by April.
The upgrading of the old Hart house helps to preserve one of the street's older homes.
Research for this article revealed the following history of Janey Way:
According to the 1949 city directory, the first houses to be built on Janey Way – those of the late 1940s – were the homes of Ross Relles, James Tomassetti, Dante Viani and Jose "Joe" Micheli.
During the time their homes were built, Relles operated his well-known Relles Florist at 2200 J St., Tomassetti was a painter for the Western Pacific Railroad, Viani worked for Koro Products Co. at 2116 19th St. and Micheli was a bartender at the Square Deal Café at 5723 Folsom Blvd., where the Espanol Restaurant is now located.
Carmen Tomassetti, who married James Tomassetti on Aug. 14, 1948 and raised five children in her Janey Way home, said that she moved into her then-new house on Dec. 10, 1948.
"My house was built in 1948," said Carmen, who is a native of Monte Porzio, Italy. "The first houses (on Janey Way) were built in 1948, then little by little different companies built different houses."
The 1952 city directory shows the growth of the street by this time, as follows: Olin N. Boggs, Joseph C. Brady, Dominic J. Costamagna, Raymond Cullivan, Adelbert C. Jacobs, Richard Kinzel, Jr., Eugene E. McKnight, Jose Micheli, Gene C. O'Keefe, Virgil W. Petrocchi, Mateo Puccetti, Ralph Puccetti, Ross Relles, Joseph C. Romel, Loren E. Sizemore, Eugene R. Thomsen, James Tomassetti, Dante H. Viani, Louie E. Viani and three vacant homes. As an historical note, Janey Way no longer extended south of M Street to include its 1300s addresses by the late 1950s. This property is presently part of the site of St. Mary's School.
Enzo Costa said that he moved into the neighborhood in 1972 and now lives in the last house that was built on Janey Way. He had the house constructed in 1976.
Tom, who with his wife, has three children, Angela, Rebecca and T.J., said that a prime example that his neighborhood is fairly old is the fact that Costa is considered one of Janey Way's "new kids on the block."
Costa may have had the last house built in the neighborhood, but as a resident of the street, he has much seniority over a family, for instance, who moved to a house on Janey Way about two years ago.
Fortunately, due to modern technology, most readers who are interested in seeing the old Hart house do not have to go further than their own computers to do so.
In order that Tom's sister could observe various remodeling stages of the home, Tom has placed footage of these remodeling stages on the Web site www.youtube.com. The short videos, which currently present 13 remodeling stages, can be found using the search words: "Hart Janey Way remodel."
Tom plans to load seven more videos onto the site to show a full-range summary of the project. He also plans to eventually take the main highlights of all his videos and combine them to create a 15-minute video that he will also post on the Web site.
Tom said that the simple fact that he desires to move back to his childhood house shows how special the home and its neighborhood and residents are in his heart.
"I just have so many fond memories of the place," Tom said. "I'm coming full circle. My kids have grown and now I have a chance to come back home to be where still many of the neighbors live. Where, when I was smaller, these neighbors would take care of me, now I'm coming back home, so I can take care of them."

The remarkable Sharp family gave fortnightly concerts as an orchestra from the 1750s onwards. This conversation piece, one of Zoffany's masterpieces, commemorates the concerts they gave on board their sailing barge Apollo at Fulham. The work was commissioned from Zoffany by William Sharp, surgeon to George III. Sharp is seen standing at the tiller, hat raised, wearing the Windsor uniform with its distinctive red collar; his instruments are the French horns which rest on the piano. Of his three brothers, Dr John Sharp is on the right and has laid his cello aside for the moment; Granville Sharp, the famous philanthropist and slavery abolitionist, holds his favoured flageolets in one hand, his clarinet being nearby on the piano; while James Sharp, an engineer, holds the serpent. The three Sharp sisters complete the orchestra: Elizabeth at the piano, Judith with music in hand and, above to the right, Frances with a theorbo or perhaps an angelica.

Cooking with Liquid Nitrogen
Posted 13 February 2005 - 06:25 PM
Liquid nitrogen is a clear liquid (looks just like water) but it is extremely cold - 320F / -196 C. It has been used scientifically for over 100 years, and has many industrial uses. Most people abbreviate it LN2, because N2 (with 2 as a subscript) is nitrogen molecule in the air.
A number of chefs are using LN2 in various ways. LN2 ice cream has been around for many years as a science demonsration, and there are many web sites about it such as this one. If you search for "liquid nitrogen" and "ice cream" you get 16,000 hits on Google so this is not exactly unknown. Heston Blumenthal likes to point out that the first reference to LN2 ice cream was in the 19th century. However, apart from the cool presentation there are a lot of other (and probably better) ways to make ice cream.
LN2 can be bought at welding and medical supply places. It is pretty cheap - $0.20 to $0.25 per liter. That is less than $1 a gallon - cheaper than milk, gasoline, or bottled water. The only expensive part is that you need a large thermos - called a Dewar to store it, and these can run $500 to $1000. However, they do exist on eBay for less.
Because of the intense cold, LN2 is dangerous. However, we need to put that in perspective - boiling water is dangerous too, and a hot oil in a deep fryer is also dangerous. Realistically speaking, LN2 is no more dangerous than these.
Heston Blumenthal serves an amuse bouche that is a small ball of foam frozen with liquid nitogen at tableside. Dani Garcia , until recently at Tragabuches in Ronda also cooks with it and has a short chapter in his cookbook on it (in Spanish).
This web articlementions a couple other chefs using it. Ferran Adria of El Bulli has spoken publically about making an LN2 chilled version of a plancha - the cold version of a hot griddle. Instead of heating food in contact with the griddle it would be chilled.
I will confess that I have not used LN2 yet for cooking myself, but did use it in graduate school scientifically. I'm about to gear up to trying some LN2 cusine, but I thought I'd canvas eGullet first to see who else is into it, and whether there are any practical ideas, tips etc out there.

You'd want to use the transport dewar and not draw N2 from the tank used to store cell lines.

Actually, Ive heard that LN2 is the best way to make ice cream, because the super-rapid freezing insures a very small crystal size and thus a super smooth, creamy texture.
Posted 13 February 2005 - 08:03 PM
LN2 is a great presentation for making ice cream if done as a demo, or done tableside - lots of drama, sort of like doing something flambe at the table just cold instead of hot. But I am skeptical that there is a reason to do it apart from the fact that it is a dramatic demonstration.
As to huffing it.....well you ARE huffing it right now! About 78% of the atmosphere is N2. Nitrous oxide is a very different issue - that does cause euphoria (laughing gas), but that is a DIFFERENT gas altogether.
Posted 13 February 2005 - 08:05 PM
I'm thinking that texture is the key here. Sorry that I can't contribute any first-hand experience. If Ferran Adrià is excited about his N2 "plancha", I'm excited too!

I have actually tried ice cream made with LN, called 'Dippin' Dots.' They were very good. I didnt realize you could buy small quantities of this stuff, so there is a good chance I might actually try to make some myself.

Are you skeptical that crystal size is related to smoothness of ice cream? Are you skeptical that crystal size is related to rapidity of freezing? Are you aware of any other method that takes your ice cream base from room temp to frozen in 30 seconds? It seems to me that there is a very obvious reason to do it apart from drama.
There is an interesting article from 2002 Scientific American on this. The author recounts his experience with LN ice cream thus:
We mixed up a standard ice cream recipe calling for two quarts of cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla and flavoring. (Just about any ice cream recipe and flavor will work.) Then, working in a well-ventilated area (lest the nitrogen displace oxygen from the air) and with due regard for the ability of liquid nitrogen to freeze body parts solid, we gently folded about two liters of nitrogen syrup directly into the cream, much as you would fold in egg whites.
The result, literally 30 seconds later, was a half-gallon of the best ice cream I'd ever tasted. The secret is in the rapid freezing. When cream is frozen by liquid nitrogen at –196°C, the ice crystals that give bad ice cream its grainy texture have no chance to form. Instead you get microcrystalline ice cream that is supremely smooth, creamy and light in texture. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out.
Behold the smooth, sweet powers of liquid N (Liquid nitrogen ice cream! Yum!)

I've had the "Dippin' Dots" at a food court in a Texas mall - My impression was that the limiting factor was the quality of the ingredients, not the technique. I don't doubt that in the hands of a true master the liquid-nitrogen ice cream could be sublime.

The "plancha" that so enthuses Ferran is a different matter. Forming a skin on the product via extreme freezing temperatures is somewhat unexplored territory - though Adrià has apparently done some research at the "Taller". Several eG members have scored reservations at El Bulli, so perhaps we'll get some reports about the success of the "plancha" later in the season.

Compressed N2 is used widely as is compressed "air" to cool surfaces for products to set up like chocolate and sugar molds. Sometimes marble is cooled in this way before tabliering tempered chocolate. Compressed air is and excellent source for use in sculptures or attatchments when you need to cool two pieces together relatively quickly without holding them in place for 20 minutes, ha.
You are right about liquid nitrogen not being any more dangerous than a sizzling hot pan because the reverse temperature at those extremes do exactly the same thing as high temperatures which is destroying your cellular structure. It actually feels the same and leaves similar scarring, I actually had a couple.
The best thing about liquid nitrogen I think is it doesn't contribute anything to a product accept temperature. Considering air is 40% nitrogen it just heats up and evaporates within a couple of minutes leaving a product cold and uncorrupt flavor and texture wise.
I still thinks its kind of goofy, like an over done science project.

The puffy cheez puffs are mostly air, which warms up pretty fast, so you're in no danger of freezing your mouth. If you chew on it, it feels about like chewing ice cream: definitely cold, but not cold enough to be uncomfortable. It's a great trick, especially for Halloween costume parties.

It would be entirely a matter of how much nitrogen you use. If you use too little, your ice cream would be too soft, if you use too much it would be too hard. There would be an optimum ratio of base to nitrogen (which I dont know).
Makes sense. A recipe is important.

My skepticism about LN2 ice cream being the best is that I wonder if the people who say that have had quality ice cream, made fresh by a great pastry chef. Ice cream that you get from a carton at the supermarket, or from an ice cream parlor, is just not the same thing.
Yeah, ice-cream made by a french pastry chef would probably be better than generic LN2 ice-cream but ice-cream made by a FPC with LN2 would also undoubtably be better than normal FPC ice-cream.
LN2 is a technique, not an ingredient. The quality of the ice-cream you get out is still going to be dependant on the quality of the ingredients you put in but LN2 ice-cream just forms smaller ice-crystals.

artisanbaker, I would LOVE to see that Adria sorbet photo!

Anyway, we mixed up the stuff in a big metal bowl with a wooden spoon, tasting along the way and adding more chocolate syrup and cocoa along the way until we got something that tasted chocolatey enough but a little too sweet.
Then, one person stirred the mix while another poured the liquid nitrogen in, a little bit at a time. As it went in, it bubbled like mad (as you'd expect) and steam obscured the surface. The volume of mixture increased noticeably over the process. We'd also get some lumpiness, which would subside as the rest of the liquid transferred its heat into the frozen lumps. After a good bit of stirring (and liquid nitrogen) the ice cream thickened to about the texture of soft-serve. We kept on going, and eventually got a homogeneous mixture too thick to stir with our wooden spoon. At this point we waited a little bit for it to warm up, scooped it into our bowls, waited a little bit longer, and then ate.
My verdict: Very smooth and creamy. The most even-textured ice cream I've eaten in a while: no large crystals of anything anywhere. Could have used some more chocolate flavor.
I don't know that I'd go out of my way to do it again, unless I were trying to impress someone or I had extra liquid nitrogen to blow. But it was yummy!

The most popular thing with people I have forced this on is flavored whipped cream, shot out of an ISI cream whipper into LN2, then almost immediately removed and served. Crisp and hard on the outside and cream on the inside. If you eat it quickly, what looks like smoke comes out your mouth and nostrils.
Olive oil freezes solid. If you spray it in, you get a crystalline olive oil powder.
Thick liquids can be dropped, drop-by-drop and it will freeze into little balls.
This stuff is fun to play with - although you need a lot of safety precautions so "play" is perhaps not quite the right word.

This sounds very interesting. Can you explain how you do it?
we also are doing cocktails spheres that are liquid in the center and frozen on the outside........
Posted 23 July 2005 - 08:53 AM
The following is provided for information only, use at your own risk.
The basic things are this:
- Get a pair of Tempshield cryo gloves - these are available from scientific supply places like Fisher Scientific and others. You want the waterproof model (there are also non-waterproof), and I like the elbow length ones.
- Get a cryo apron, also by Tempshield
- Get safety glasses, or a face shield. I use a full face shield that I happened to have already from using oven cleaner. Here is a similar one that from Amazon
The gloves and apron are ridulously expensive - like $150 each. I know people who use much cheaper gloves, or no gloves, but these are the correct ones to have.
LN2 is VERY cold. If it splashes on your skin it could really hurt you - or not. Surprisingly, if it falls onto a a convex surface (i.e. the back of your hand) it just falls off. You hand is so hot compared to the LN2 that it boils at the bottom and a cushion of nitrogen gas lets it fall off harmlessly. In graduate school (I was in physics) we would sometimes play irresponsibly with the stuff and have hallway fights with it ect. I've had it on my skin many times without a problem - even had it run down my back under my shirt.
If you pour a bit onto a flat surface - a plate, or pan - droplets will float and dance on teh surface until gone, just like drops of water will do in a very hot saute pan, and for the same reason.
BUT that's only if there is a way for it fall off. If it falls onto a concave surface where it will collect instead of fall off, such as the palm of your hand, well that is BAD.
Your biggest risk is having it splatter into your eyes - hence the shield or goggles. Any saftey goggles should do, but I like the face shield because it does not fog up.
The other risk is soaking into clothing - that is BAD. There are plenty of lab rats who work with the stuff that will tell you that the best way to handle LN2 is naked.
An example of a really bad thing to do is to spill some so it goes in your shoes. You'll lose a bunch of flesh that way.
So, I use cryo gloves and cryo apron. However, if I didn't have those I would use waterproof gloves and a waterproof apron, and maybe rubber boots.
The other main hazard is that when LN2 goes from liquid to gas, the volume increases. So, you NEVER seal it in a container. A popular stunt for physics grad students is to pour a bit into an empty 2 liter plastic soda bottle, then throw the bottle into a plastic trash can half filled with water, or into a swimming pool. The whole thing will explode. I don't mean a little explosion either.
So, NEVER seal it in a container. Never pour it down a drain - it will freeze the water in the sink trap, and can make it explode.
This all sounds bad, but I do not believe that LN2 is any more dangerous that fry oil. You wouldn't want to fill your shoe with hot fry oil either. In fact, it is probably more dangerous spilling hot oil on your hand than LN2.
I use the gloves and apron for pouring between the storage dewar (container you store it in) and the container that I use to dunk food in -(a open mouth dewar, or small plastic cooler). However, once I am using it I usually have at least one glove off. because they are just too cumbersome.
In practice you use the same sort of tools you'd use for frying in oil - i.e. tongs and mesh strainers to catch the food and bring it out. For some purposes, like making a powder by spraying a liquid into LN2 a fine mesh chinois is best.

Here is a trick that may be similar. Take a mixture which normally does not freeze at typical freezer temperatures - for example something with lots of sugar in it (syrup), or lots of alcohol in it, or an oil that does not typically freeze.
You can use LN2 to freeze these things. Even pure vodka will freeze. Alcohol freezes at -117C, but LN2 is at -196C.
Once you've frozen the normally unfreezable liquid you can encase it in something else around it - say ice cream, mousse.... or a liquid which will stay frozen at normal freezer temperatures. Then you put the whole thing in the freezer and let it sit a while - usually overnight. Ironically the goal of putting it in the freezer is to WARM UP the core that was frozen with LN2, which then melts into a liquid. Obviously, the encasing should not leak.
Heston Blumenthal makes a mock egg this way that has a liquid yolk. The mock yolk has enough sugar and alcohol that will be liquid in a normal freezer. He freezes the mock yolk, then makes the mock egg white and molds it around the yolk and lets it stay in the freezer.
When the customer's spoon goes in, they find a liquid yolk.
This is a variation on things like Chinese soup dumplings where you freeze a liquid, encase it in something, then heat the something and serve with liquid inside.
You could do this with LN2 also. If you wanted vodka filled dumplings or syup filled dumplings you could freeze the vodka with LN2, encase in dumpling dough, then cook the dumplings. The only issue here is that your dumpling dough must be watertight.

Boaters should be aware of carbon monoxide dangers while boating on Utah's waters.
Carbon monoxide is a potentially deadly gas produced anytime a carbon-based fuel, such as gasoline, propane, charcoal or oil, burns. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and mixes evenly in the air we breath. It enters the bloodstream through the lungs and displaces the oxygen the body needs.
Those on boats are urged not to confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with seasickness, intoxication or heat stress.
If someone on board complains of irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness, or dizziness, immediately move the person to fresh air and seek medical attention if necessary.
Sources of carbon monoxide on boats include gasoline engines, generators, cooking ranges, and space and water heaters. Cold and poorly tuned engines produce more carbon monoxide than warm, properly tuned engines.
Boat exhaust leaks are the leading cause of death by carbon monoxide. These leaks can migrate throughout the boat and into enclosed areas. Regular maintenance and proper boat operation can reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Other areas of concern include being on or swimming near the rear decks of houseboats with the generator or engines running. Areas on or near a boat's swim platform are also dangerous.
It is also best to avoid teak surfing, dragging, or being towed within 20 feet of the rear of a slow moving boat. Recent research indicates that high concentrations of carbon monoxide can easily be found within 10 feet immediately behind a slow moving boat.

Clarendon Hills Hickinbotham Vineyard Syrah 2005
Syrah/Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
This wine forms part of Clarendon Hills' 'Grand Cru' classification.
This masculine and often tightly-wound expression is often dominated by harder-edged and powerful characters. Recessed and concentrated, this wine has a mineral under-fabric that accentuates the boldness of its understatement.
The 2005 Hickinbotham Syrah, highlights the quality of the fruit that is produced from forty-one year old vines, planted on hard clay and ironstone soil. This wine boasts a blackened crimson color as well as an amazing bouquet of crème de cassis, graphite, black licorice and espresso. On the palate the wine has huge depth of concentrated black fruits and dark chocolate with fine grained tannins provide texture on the palate and a very rich and intense finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Syrah Hickinbotham Vineyard is opaque purple-colored with aromas of crushed rocks, toasty oak, tar, licorice, bacon, blueberry, and blackberry. Muscular and large in scale, it will profit from a decade of cellaring and drink well through 2030. "
Wine Spectator - "Big, rich and juicy, with plum, blueberry and a range of sweet spices. The fine tannins wrap around the generous mouthful of flavors, which linger powerfully. A touch of coffee adds interest, and the finish just doesn't quit. Best from 2010 through 2020. 500 cases imported. "
International Wine Cellar - "Saturated purple. Powerful boysenberry, blueberry and licorice aromas are complicated by an amaro-like herbal bitterness, with a vanilla and mocha undercurrent adding another element. Broad, sweet and penetrating dark fruit flavors possess stunning density, with palate-saturating depth and power. Do you drink this or eat it? This displays a compellingly balanced shock-and-awe personality uniquely its own-another otherworldly example of this producer's style."

Clarendon Hills Winery
Clarendon Hills is a small family-run winery based in Clarendon, South Australia. The company was founded by biochemist, Roman Bratasiuk, in 1990. The story of Clarendon Hills is one of passion, dedication and commitment to exception wine. It all began when this biochemist and wine lover decided to produce his own wine. Though he'd never trained as a winemaker, Roman let himself be guided by his refined palate and scientific knowledge. Following his favorite producers and preferred styles, Roman sought to make a version of the wines he loved. View all Clarendon Hills Wines
About McLaren ValeView a map of McLaren Vale wineries
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

4 ratings, 1 with review59/21/2011DK afa - Huntington Station, NY38/2/2011I was extremely disappointed with this wine. After giving it an hour to breathe, no improvement. While the wine was okay, it certainly was not worth the price. I found the initial taste to be rough like that of cough syrup, while the aftermath to taste like a $25 Shiraz. While I understand this is not Astralis, or for that matter Grange, for the amount of money paid I was expecting much better.54/23/2011
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.

Question About Modern Lalique Marks
Hi All,
This my first post and I have a question about the modern diamond tipped Lalique signature. I have an Ophelie Bowl that is signed Lalique R France with 500 below it. I fairly certain the piece is authentic, but I haven't seen a 500 below the signature and in my research I've seen it on a few pieces.
Does anyone know the history of that particular mark?

if the mark is "Lalique ® France", or used the registered trademark symbol ® anywhere on the piece, it is not a Lalique glass item made during the lifetime of Rene Lalique. The mark indicates this is a modern crystal piece made from 1978 onward

Thanks for the response. I probably should have been a bit more clear with my question. I understand that it is not Rene Lalique. My question had to do with the modern Lalique mark, with the 500 below it.

According to a report released by Nielsen, this is the first time that more than half of all mobile customers in the U.S. own a smartphone. That's up a whopping 38% from a year ago.
With Android and iOS accounting for more than 80% of the U.S. market, smartphones are changing the way people use their handsets. Smartphone users are spending 39 minutes per day using their apps, up 10% from a year ago. The number of apps downloaded to Apple iPhone and Google Android devices grew 28% over the past year to an average of 41 apps per phone.

A Google study also released Wednesday found that 26% of U.S. smartphone owners would rather give up their computer than their smartphone -- a sign that smartphones are truly becoming mini-PCs.
Despite the increase of apps, smartphone owners spend roughly the same amount of time using them each day: 37 minutes in 2011, compared to 39 minute in 2012.
Facebook, YouTube, Android market (now Google Play Store), Google Search and Gmail remain the top five most-used apps, according to Nielsen. That isn't particularly surprising, since all of those apps except for Facebook are pre-loaded onto most Android devices.

Entire NL East has shown interest in Javier Vazquez
The Mets have shown interest in free-agent starting pitcher Javier Vazquez. However, he has yet to indicate whether he will pitch for an MLB team in 2013.
The Mets, Red Sox, Rays, Phillies, White Sox, Braves, Marlins, Nationals, and Royals have all reportedly scouted Vazquez this winter, during which scouts have said he is consistently reaching 92-93 mph with his fastball.
11:45 am: Vazquez says he is interested in pitching this year, he is not yet 100 percent, and he has yet to receive a contract offer (El Nuevo Dia).
Jan. 8: The Mets have scouted Vazquez during this year's Puerto Rico winter league (McCullough, Star-Ledger).
Jan. 3: A scout who watched him said Vazquez looks good, the ball is coming out of his hand well, and he could be a good pick up (Brown, Yahoo!).
Michael Baron, ContributorAs Keith Hernandez would say, Vazquez throws the entire kitchen sink at opposing hitters. He historically has featured both a hard and heavy slider and sinker as his secondary pitches, but he also has a hard change-up and curveball in his arsenal. He is older and hasn't pitched for a while, and so I wonder if he can sustain regular work and a long season, especially during the dog days in July and August. I also worry about how he might fare pitching in New York, considering his only season with the Yankees was very forgettable.

Chestnut Street Inn
Editor's Review
When Monika and Jeff Sudakov gave up their management careers in the Las Vegas hospitality industry to pursue their dream of opening a bed-and-breakfast, they found the perfect location in tiny Sheffield, Illinois. And what they learned in that previous life is now used to provide guests with a memorable overnight experience. Everything about the Chestnut Street Inn is quality, from the linens on the beds to the gourmet breakfasts. The couple have owned this old mansion for six years, but the place is so well-kept, you'd think they'd just opened last week. The house has just four bedrooms, each with a private bath, and guests have the run of the house, which is tastefully done in period pieces that don't go over-the-top. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, make a reservation at their restaurant, which serves an evening fixed-price menu that changes daily. Monika is a gourmet chef who uses as many locally grown, in-season ingredients as she can and delights in adding a Mediterranean flair to some of her dishes.

Horticulturalist Harry Klee is on a mission to bring great taste back to the supermarket tomato. To do so, he asks taste-testers to rate the most flavorful fruits, and analyzes each winning variety's chemical profile. Then he uses his 'chemical recipe' to breed high-yield, better-tasting hybrid tomatoes.
In the SciFri Snack: Ever wonder why many tomatoes just aren't that tasty? Horticulturist Harry Klee tells us it's because many growers don't get paid for the flavor of their tomatoes--they get paid by the pound.

Value clothing retailer Blue Inc, with financial backing from its new chairman Sir Stuart Rose and high-profile investors the Reuben Brothers, plans to expand its international presence. The retailer, which already has a growing online operation in the US, Russia, and the Baltic and other Eastern European states, plans to open stores in Ukraine, Latvia, and Lithuania later this year.
The UK-based Kingfisher is set to introduce a franchise model as part of its long-term growth plans, which are to be announced in the first quarter of 2011. This initiative will enable Kingfisher to expand quickly, reduce the impact of difficult trading conditions in the UK and increase its hold over the European market.
Ted Baker has reported strong group revenue growth for the 52 weeks to January 30, 2010, despite its wholesale division experiencing negative growth. Indeed, a 15.4% increase in group retail sales drove a 7.2% rise in group revenue. While the retailer should now look to capitalize on growth opportunities in the UK and Europe, as well as further afield, it must ensure it protects its brand image.
Despite the downturn facing the once booming Baltic Tiger States, sales at Maxima were up 31.4% to LTL4.79 billion (E1.38 billion) for the first six months of 2008. The outlook remains positive for Maxima, as sales are being boosted by price conscious consumers' attraction to its stores. Meanwhile, expansion in Bulgaria could provide a significant growth opportunity for Maxima outside the Baltics.
Russian fuel retailer Lukoil has announced an eight-year plan to increase its focus on shop sales at its service stations, while its Baltic subsidiary has launched a new loyalty program. Both events serve to demonstrate Lukoil's new customer-centric aspirations, and suggest that we may see these aspirations being fulfilled in a rather innovative way.
PKN Orlen has begun outlining its retail intentions for the Baltic region as it moves closer to the official acquisition of Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu Nafta. While this deal gives PKN access to much-needed upstream assets, its lack of retail presence means it will have a lot of work do to if it intends to grow organically in markets where the likes of Lukoil and Statoil are firmly established.
Rapid network expansion and upstream muscle are the unstoppable forces pushing Lukoil to the fore of fuel retailing in central and eastern Europe (CEE). The firm is the key mover in the region, expanding its site presence by a remarkable 180% over the past three years. But selling petrol is not simply a numbers game: Lukoil is also successfully incorporating a strong shop proposition.

Scheming critics threaten new hospital plan

POTSDAM - Clarkson University Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering Sulapha Peethamparan has received a $30,000 grant from the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) for her research on cement-free green concrete.
The grant is part of a group recently awarded by NYSP2I to fund research and development projects focused on applied research designed to stimulate solutions that will help New York state companies remain competitive, while reducing their environmental footprint.
This funding is designed to further stimulate research efforts and develop innovative solutions in the broad categories of sustainability and pollution prevention, says Anahita Williamson, NYSP2I director. Projects were selected based on their potential to reduce the environmental footprint of businesses in an effective and economical way.
Traditional concrete is made by mixing Portland cement, water and aggregate, says Peethamparan. The resulting product is a stable infrastructure material when exposed to water. In my research, I am investigating the stability of a new greener cement-free concrete (CFC), when exposed to water.
The CFC is formulated by mixing a strong alkali solution, industrial byproduct fly ash and aggregate, without using any cement. Peethamparan will expose the CFC to water to evaluate the stability of this type of concrete to leaching. The dissolved ion concentrations of the water in contact with CFC will be analyzed periodically to check the concentration of the heavy metals or other metallic ions leaching out of the CFC.
I hope that the preliminary data generated in this study will be useful in deciding the suitability CFC for water retaining structures, foundations and other infrastructures that may be in contact with water, says Peethamparan.
NYSP2I, as part of its ongoing research and development program, annually solicits proposals from faculty and staff at the institutes partner universities — Clarkson University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University at Buffalo, and Rochester Institute of Technology — that support both short- and long-term strategic research intended to drive innovative green technologies for organizations to implement. NYSP2Is efforts are driven by business and organizational needs and are designed to solve specific issues where the solutions result in transferable practices and technologies.
Current research and development priorities include the elimination or substitution of toxic chemicals, overall waste reduction, and energy-and-water efficiency opportunities in priority manufacturing sectors, as well as projects primarily benefitting the Buffalo area.
This year, NYSP2I provided seed funding to validate a research concept with the expectation that the principle investigator will pursue follow-on funding either from NYSP2I or another sponsor for each feasible research concept.
The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute is housed at Rochester Institute of Technology and provides statewide, comprehensive and integrated programming in technology research, development and diffusion, training and education aimed at making New York state more sustainable for workers, the public, the environment and the economy. NYSP2I was created in 2008 through a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Additional partners include Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Clarkson University, State University of New York at Buffalo and New Yorks 10 Regional Technology Development Centers.

Card Wallet$45

Slim Card Holder$35
About Leather Front Pocket Wallets: These wallets are designed for those who prefer to keep their valuables in front of them instead of behind, as well as those who just want a slim wallet instead of something bulky. They've got just enough storage space to keep your essentials, but a thinner design than traditional bifolds and trifolds, so you can keep things like your ID, cards, and cash all together without taking up a lot of space. We know men have that habit of stuffing everything into their wallets - receipts, notes, scraps of paper, and more - and that often leads to a bulky wallet that won't close properly and barely fits in a pocket. We're hoping one our thin Leather Front Pocket Wallets of these will help change all that!
