5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for Election Week
(EPD - Get Report) is a Houston-based master limited partnership was essentially designed to generate tax-efficient dividend income for investors, paying out the proceeds of its natural gas pipelines and processing facilities to shareholders in the form of a 4.9% yield.EPD has benefited from increased natural gas production here at home, even if prices have been on the decline. Because EPD's main business is midstream, it's able to improve its performance by moving more gas throughput, even if natgas prices are continuing to get hammered lower. Crude oil pipelines are becoming an increasingly important part of EPD's asset base, providing a nice complement to the firm's natgas business. As energy consumers actively switch between the two fuels for their needs, the ability to transport both oil and gas should help ensure that EPD's financial performance doesn't hinge on a single source. Size has advantages in the MLP business. Because this class of firms has to pay out the vast majority of its income to shareholders to hang onto its tax-free status, master limited partnerships often lack the liquidity that we'd see at comparable corporations. Not so with EPD -- the firm currently sports close to a billion dollars in cash and investments, and it's got plenty of dry powder to draw from in the capital markets, where size also matters. Income investors could do worse than this energy name.Enterprise Products Partners Dividend investors rejoice -- we're also betting on shares of an income focused MLP this week.

I'll be testing L.A. Noire Complete Edition with trainer 26188.8.131.52 and hoping it works!..
I haven't used a cheat trainer in over a year and a half, I've been playing mostly Bethesda games which are modable for the last year and a half and games that use mods and cheat trainers don't work while together, I was using a lot of mods that added the same cheat features a trainer would use and I used console command cheats to while playing bethesda games!..
Updatetrainer seems to work fine with the game, only did 3 quests so far the third quest was a chase on a roof and I didn't die and lose the fight!..

It's no doubt that even the casual follower of style has heard the buzz about highly popular fashion exhibitions like Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at The Met, or Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective at the Denver Art Museum or Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. Highlighting the works of iconic prêt-a-porter to haute couture houses is quickly becoming the exhibition theme of the moment, and one that's in demand.

time or money
What do you value more? Time or Money (be honest..and no, we don't expect that to come easily)
It occurs to the Contessa more often than she likes, that it is quite a challenge to organize one's life to suit one's values. In fact, it is'a difficult at times to identify what it is we truly value. Many people do not struggle with this question, and it is they I envy.
How blissful it must be to accept the widespread cultural beliefs that are designed to cultivate a dream that the future will finally bring some rest, dreams that you will work until you reach retirement, that you and your significant other will grow old together, and hopefully you will die together peacefully at the exact same time in your sleep or that you children will nurture you in your elder years.

CHICAGO (AP) - Negotiators for Chicago's teachers union and school board planned to resume tense contract talks at 11 a.m. Sunday after reporting some progress on Saturday.
The teachers have set a midnight Sunday deadline to call off the city's first teachers' strike in 25 years. Pay raises and job security are among their top concerns.
A strike would cause massive disruptions in the nation's third-largest school district.
Board president David Vitale emerged from Saturday's talks saying the two sides were "very close." He says the board presented a new proposal that "moved dramatically on almost all of the issues."
Union President Karen Lewis calls it an "improved" offer that still needs work.
The union set up what it called a strike headquarters on Saturday to distribute picket signs and T-shirts.

Chile win guarantees a playoff spot at least for World Cup 2014
Published On : Sat, Sep 7th, 2013
"La Roja" dominates throughout in a 3-0 victory over Venezuela that takes the team to third in the South American qualifiers for tournament in Brazil.An irrepressible Chilean side rolled over Venezuela on Friday night, scoring three unanswered goals and ensuring, at the very worst, a playoff spot on the road to Brazil in 2014.
With eight wins out of ten games in charge, Jorge Sampaoli now has the best start of any "La Roja" manager in history. Another record — four straight wins in CONMEBOL qualifying — took his team to third place on 24 points, above Ecuador who fell to Colombia on Friday.
In South America, the top-four teams qualify automatically for the World Cup, while fifth spot has a chance at a berth via a playoff against Asia's fifth place finisher. Uruguay currently occupies the playoff position, having beaten Peru 2-1 away Friday night.
"More than the result, value came from the way we played against a tough opponent," Sampaoli said after the match. "With these players we can do great things."
Venezuela can indeed prove tricky opposition, and few expected the visitors to be so comprehensively overwhelmed. Chilean keeper Claudio Bravo left the pitch without a grass stain, while Venezuela's fullbacks ran most of the game backwards, as Eduardo Vargas and an electrifying Alexis Sánchez bore down on them time and time again .
Before kick-off, anticipation surrounded Jorge Valdívia, who was making his first start since his banishment from "La Selección" under Claudio Borghi. The mercurial playmaker delivered in spades, adding guile and invention in midfield and creating the first goal. Outside of goal celebrations, the biggest cheer of the night was directed at the Palmeiras player when he was exchanged for Jean Beausejour in the second half. After praising him, Sampaoli later said he felt the player was only functioning at 60 percent — a scary prospect for future opposition.
Fans at Estadio Nacional still seemed on a high from Chile's crushing defeat of Iraq — yet another Sampaoli record — and Mexican waves swept through the stadium as "La Roja" pressed from the first whistle. Goal one came in the 11th minute — Valdivia lofted a ball over the backline to find Vargas who jinked away from his marker to score his sixth goal of the year in a red jersey.
A short period of complacency followed the goal, and the Chilean defense was caught off-guard by a Venezuelan counter. Striker José Rondon was guilty of a shocking miss, and the close call jolted the home team to life.
Valdivia and Arturo Vidal ran rings around the Venezuelans in the final third, and constant pressure peaked with a corner on the half hour mark. Vidal leapt to meet Marcelo Díaz's delivery — the Juventus man's header was saved by Daniel Hernández, though the keeper could not prevent defender Marcos González from turning in the rebound to make it 2-0.
Chile was set ablaze after the restart. Hernández somehow kept out a venomous drive from Vargas, and Sánchez was inches away with a volley. The Venezuelans welcomed the respite of halftime.
After the break, a rare foray forward from the visitors ended in a goal disallowed for offsides. The bitter ruling was then followed by the Alexis Sánchez show.
The talented forward has often been maligned for selfishness and poor decision making. In this match, he was one-track minded in his desire to provide for his team. He tore up the sod on the right flank, delivering crosses and unleashing colleagues. The biggest criticism that could be made of Chile's game was the wasteful use of Sánchez's prolific service.
The player's efforts did eventually pay off in the 85th minute. The Barcelona forward's scooped assist was the second ball in a delightful one-two with Arturo Vidal.
Chile heads to Colombia on Oct. 11 and hosts Ecuador on Oct. 15 in its two remaining qualifiers. Brazil beckons, and if the Chileans keep playing in this fashion they are sure to be favorites among neutrals as they were in South Africa three years ago.

Let it be recalled that my father Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession in October 1947 under unusual circumstances when a full scale war was raging due to the Pakistani based tribal invasion. It is true that that Instrument was exactly the same as the document signed by all the other former provincial States. However, whereas the other States later signed merger agreements, the relationship of Jammu & Kashmir with the rest of the country was governed by a special set of circumstances, and hence given a special position. The Constitution of Jammu & Kashmir, which I signed into law in 1957, is still in force.
Certainly J&K is an 'integral part' of India, but that does not necessarily mean that it has to be treated exactly on par with other States. Hong Kong is an 'integral part' of China but has been given a special dispensation. There are in fact numerous examples around the world in which, due to special circumstances, certain areas or regions have been given a special dispensation. Though all talk of secession is totally unacceptable and uncalled for, the steam-roller approach is also not appropriate.
Let us not forget that 50 percent of the area of my father's 84,000 sq miles State is in fact not in our possession. It has been under Pakistan control since the UN's brokered ceasefire on 1 January 1949, and Pakistan has leased a considerable portion of this land to China. An interesting point also is that in the three regions of the State that are with us—Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh—the bulk of public opinion differs sharply on this issue.
My appeal to all concerned is to kindly tone down the rhetoric and not let the Minister's statement plunge the new government almost immediately into a complex and difficult situation. The whole question of Jammu & Kashmir has to be looked at in an integral fashion, including the international dimension, the constitutional position, the legal aspects as well as the political aspects. Such an integral review is overdue, but it has to be done in a cooperative rather than a confrontational manner.
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
Can we just ask Omar to come out of his nightmare and see light? High time talibs/anwar/Omar etc. to wake up.
Vow! Ram lala ji, Jacka*s Lal Nehru? Any connection to JNU (also popularly known Jawahar Marx Univ.) in Delhi? Thanks a lot.
Thanks for your wise words!
"Mountbatten was a decorated naval officer and was promoted over the heads of several of his seniors to become the Supreme Commander South East Asia Command during WW II in the acting rank of Admiral. After the war he was reverted to his substantive rank of Rear Admiral before rising to be the Chief of Defence staff. Being a distant member of the royal family was not the reason for his career success." Bonita
I'll spare you the jokes about "rear admiral" but you need to read up on your history. Here is a recent article about Mountbottom's legendary incompetence and recklessness throughout his career.
"...Partly thanks to Dieppe, there has been a major shift in the perception of Mountbatten's character in recent years. Historian Andrew Roberts has dealt the hardest hammer blow to his reputation.
He has convincingly depicted "Dickie" Mountbatten as a psychopathically ambitious, vain, disingenuous, manipulative adrenaline junkie and a man who was utterly careless of other people's lives.
Whether this view is fully justified is debatable but even at the time of Dieppe many military people were wary of Dickie's cronyism and mad gung-ho schemes.
At the Admiralty he was known as the "Master of Disaster".
One eminent biographer who admired Mountbatten became so sickened by his subject's disrespect for the truth that he put a sign on his writing desk: "Remember, in spite of it all, he was a great man." Mountbatten was certainly great at public relations and the art of making sure no mud stuck to him."
"A man who was utterly careless of other people's lives" - this is why he made such a shambles of the Partition, without giving people time to cross borders to safety.
He owed everything to his powerful connections and his charm. A lot like Jackass Lal Nehru, which is why these two incompetent buggers got along so well.

Here's what you'll find:
Whole Foods' decision to require labeling of genetically modified foods in its stores by 2018 has been hailed as a "game changer." The New York Times said it could "radically alter the food industry."
This Ripple effect could lead to GMO rejection
A report by Daily Finance said it would change grocery shopping. In the same way Whole Foods led the way in making organic foods common in supermarkets, the trend-setting retailer will do the same for non-GMO foods.
An editorial in the San Jose Mercury News in California said, "Other stores will need to demand (GMO) labeling or else give up customers to stores that do."
In short, Whole Foods decision is likely to create a ripple effect throughout the whole food production chain that could ultimately lead to widespread rejection of GMOs.
Companies that now sell products containing GMO-risk ingredients in Whole Foods will have to either reformulate their products to be non-GMO or be labeled GMO in Whole Foods. They will almost certainly choose the former.
Already, products that are Non-GMO Project verified see sales increase 15-30% in Whole Foods, according to Whole Foods president A.C. Gallo.
The impact will ripple down the supply chain to the farm level. Farmers will grow more non-GMO crops to meet the demand. Fewer GM seeds will be sold.
Similar to GMO rejection in Europe?
The above scenario is not unprecedented. In 1998, UK-based frozen food chain Iceland Foods became the first major British retailer to ban GM foods. Their sales increased by 10%, which led other retailers in the UK and Europe to follow suit. Today, it is difficult to find any GMO-labeled products on store shelves in Europe. GMOs have been widely rejected "across the pond."
You could say Europe was different because GMOs weren't in 80% of processed foods as they are in the US.
But it is also true that European food manufacturers didn't have a non-GMO labeling alternative back then as their US counterparts do today with the Non-GMO Project. This provides a carrot alternative to the stick of GMO labeling
Power of retailers
Shortly after their GMO labeling announcement, Whole Foods and several other large supermarket chains such as Trader Joe's, Aldi's, and H-E-B said they wouldn't sell GM salmon. Others may follow.
Again, we can see the power of retailers to decide the GMO debate. With its decisions, Whole Foods has thrown a stone in the pond. It will be interesting to see the ripples—or waves—that it creates.
The GMO debate should be decided by Americans in their grocery stores and not by executives of multi-national corporations in their boardrooms.
Let the people make an informed choice of whether or not they want to eat GMOs..
Ken Roseboro is editor of The Organic & Non-GMO Report, www.non-gmoreport.com. He will be speaking about GMOs at New York City Green Festival.
Mark Tercek, President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy, is the author of the new book Nature's Fortune: How Business and Society Thrive by Investing in Nature. Tercek will be speaking on the Main Stage at New York City Green Festival on April 20 at 3 p.m.

Usually the clock begins ticking on a legal malpractice claim under the applicable statute of limitations when the negligent conduct has occurred, not when the client has realized an actual loss. Wachovia Bank, M.A. v. Ferretti, 935 A.2d 565 (Pa.Super.Ct. 2007). This principle is referred to as the occurrence rule. But there are instances where a client could not reasonably have discovered his or her injury or its cause at the time when the negligent conduct occurred, such as where the harm has not yet become apparent or where the harm has been concealed. In these instances, equitable principles can be applied to avoid the potentially harsh result that application of the occurrence rule may otherwise cause. These principles include the so-called discovery rule and the doctrine of fraudulent concealment.The discovery rule applies to delay the date on which the statutory period begins until the point in time when "the plaintiff knew or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known of the injury and its cause." Knowledge may be imputed to clients "when an adverse action is taken against them, be it through a court order or through a third party action." The doctrine of fraudulent concealment delays the start of the clock where the defendant lawyer has engaged in unintentional or intentional fraud or concealment to prevent the client from learning that the lawyer has committed malpractice. At one time case law suggested that these two principles can apply only if the initial discovery is made after the applicable statute of limitation has expired under the occurrence rule. But now a Pennsylvania Supreme Court holding in a medical malpractice action suggests that these principles can be applied in a legal malpractice action even when such discovery occurred within the initial statutory period. Fine v. Checcio, 870 A.2d 850 (Pa. 2005). As a general rule, the date when the exercise of due diligence would or should have revealed the harm and its cause is deemed a question of fact to be resolved by the jury. But in Fine the court determined that it can be deemed a question of law for the court where "reasonable minds would not differ in finding that a party knew or should have known on the exercise of reasonable diligence of his injury and its cause." The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently visited this area of the law in Knopick v. Connelly, ___F.3d___, 2011 WL 1379517 (C.A. 3 (Pa.)) (decided April 13, 2011). In Knopick, a lawyer who was engaged to sue two matrimonial lawyers for malpractice found himself a defendant where he did not timely file an action against the two matrimonial lawyers. The matrimonial lawyers had represented husband in a divorce action. Wife contended that husband had withheld the existence of some of his assets, including $2 million worth of stock, when they had entered into a separation and property settlement agreement more than a year before husband filed for divorce. Husband contended that wife had full knowledge of his assets, including the stock, when she signed the agreement, and husband also contended that the stock had no equity because it was substantially encumbered. In the divorce action wife filed a motion to set aside the agreement on the grounds of husband's alleged nondisclosure. Husband informed his lawyer (Connelly) of four witnesses who could testify that wife had full knowledge of his assets when she signed the agreement. Husband contended that Connelly promised to contact all four of them. But on the date of the hearing, husband was informed that one of the other lawyers in Connelly's firm (Kadel) would be representing husband at the hearing. At the hearing, Kadel did not call any of the witnesses suggested by husband. Instead, Kadel contended that they were unnecessary because he had offered the testimony of his client that wife had full knowledge of husband's assets and he had moved into evidence the parties' joint income tax returns, which had been signed by wife. But wife testified that husband fraudulently under-disclosed the nature of his assets and she denied that she had ever discussed her knowledge of husband's assets with any of the witnesses husband had suggested that his lawyers call. Wife also denied that husband had shown her his financial information when they did their taxes. Notwithstanding the tax returns and husband's testimony to the contrary, the court ruled in wife's favor almost a year later. In the interim, husband was told by his matrimonial lawyers that the hearing had "gone well" and "that there was nothing to worry about." Under these circumstances, husband engaged the defendant to file a malpractice action against the matrimonial lawyers. To determine whether husband, now plaintiff, had a claim against the lawyer who failed to sue his matrimonial lawyers in a timely manner, it had to be determined whether the statute of limitations on plaintiff's claims against his matrimonial lawyers had expired before he retained defendant lawyer. If the occurrence rule applied, then the statute of limitations on plaintiff's claim against the matrimonial lawyers had expired. That's because the hearing had occurred longer ago than the length of the statutory period. On the other hand, if either the discovery rule or the doctrine of fraudulent concealment is applied, then whether due diligence would have resulted in discovery of a potential claim becomes a jury question. Plaintiff argued that either the discovery rule or the doctrine of fraudulent concealment creates a genuine issue of material fact with respect to whether the statute should be deemed tolled until the adverse ruling. The defendant lawyer was granted summary judgment by the district court, among other reasons falling outside the scope of this column, on the basis that the occurrence rule applied. The court reasoned that plaintiff was present for the hearing and knew at that time that his matrimonial lawyers had not called the four witnesses that he suggested, which failure he contends was negligence. Yet plaintiff did not know that he may have been harmed by this failure until the court ruled adversely almost a year later. If the applicable statute were tolled until the date of the adverse ruling, then defendant lawyer was retained before the applicable statute on claims against the matrimonial lawyers had expired, which means that plaintiff may have been harmed by defendant lawyer's failure to file suit. The 3rd Circuit panel held that the district court erred in finding, as a matter of law, that the hearing triggered the limitations period. Instead the panel found it to be a jury question whether plaintiff "reasonably knew or should have known of his injury before" the adverse ruling. Accordingly it reversed and remanded so that the case could proceed. Lawyers who suspect a malpractice claim should not take solace in the expiration of a statute of limitations under circumstances where the discovery rule or the fraudulent concealment doctrine may apply. As seen from Knopick, application of these doctrines may result in a jury trial to determine that seemingly threshold question.

We are thrilled to present Emancipator's return to Los Angeles on Thursday March 22nd at King King. He will be joined by Shigeto and Marley Carroll, both making their Do LaB debut. Ceci Castelblanco will be painting live. This will be a very intimate event, that is sure to sell out in advance. Discounted pre-sale tickets are available here.
Those in the know have been following Emancipator since he self-released his first album, Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, at the age of 19 in 2006. His agile melodies layered over headnodic, immaculately-produced beats captivated fans across the internet and across the world. His latest album "Safe In The Steep Cliffs" blends new instrumentation and organic samples with the signature Emancipator style of clean production, silky melodies and addictive drums.
Click here to read our new interview with Emancipator.
Listen to Emancipator's latest music below:
Beat-driven but given to richly textured sound design, rhythmically fractured but melodically sumptuous, Shigeto's music is a bridge between the past and present, bringing the artist face to face with a creative legacy that spans decades. The upcoming 2012 release, Lineage—a mini-LP of sorts that has a complex constellation of sounds and ideas that we have come to expect from the producer/drummer. However, his compositional focus and restraint grounds songs that are otherwise cosmically inclined. Never has he demonstrated such complete command of his material.
Stream Shigeto's new album "Lineage" on Soundcloud below:
Listen to more of Shigeto's latest music on Soundcloud below:
Marley Carroll is a prodigious multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ from Asheville, North Carolina. The beginnings of his musicianship sprang from training in piano, percussion and scratch DJ technique. His debut album, Melanaster is the result of meticulous bedroom alchemy, sounding like a lost Radiohead LP submerged in ten feet of salt water. Marley created Melanaster entirely on his own. The album's touchstones are found in the space between the beautiful haze of early Nineties shoegaze rock (My Bloody Valentine) and early 2000's IDM (Autechre, Squarepusher). The result is smeared, melancholy pop songs tethered to abstract electronic rhythms, what NPR called "gorgeously subdued glitch-pop".

Roasted Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
Acorn squash and sweet potato are roasted and blended together with sauteed onion, garam masala, ginger, and coconut milk to create a healthy and delicious fall soup.
I've officially decided that fall is my favorite food season. Summer comes in at a close second, but fall wins, hands down. There aren't many dishes you can't get away with making at this time of year–the options and possibilities are endless.
One of the main reasons why fall gets me so excited is due to the fact that I can finally, finally make hot soups! Lots and lots of soups. A hearty bowl of soup, along with a couple slices of great bread, is my go-to dinner at this time of year.
Plus, and this goes without saying, soups make the best leftovers, period. In fact, they usually taste better the second day…and there aren't a whole lot of dishes out there that you can say that about.
Have I also mentioned that soup is quite possibly one of my most favorite things to make in the kitchen? Besides baked goods, of course. [Don't worry, there is another one in the works as we speak.]
For some reason, I have an easier time experimenting and playing around with soup recipes than almost any other type of dish.
Soup, particularly pureed soups, are a blank canvas. You can flavor and play around with them in so many different ways–use different vegetables, roast the ingredients, add various seasonings, vary the texture, add creamy elements, add fun garnishes, etc, etc. I could go on and on…
In an effort to not completely drown you in pumpkin recipes (I've only had it once, but Pinterest is sort of making me feel like I've been eating it for months–so I figured we might be on the same boat), I decided to make this soup with another, less publicly enamored fall squash.
To be specific, roasted acorn squash! Plus a little bit of sweet potato as well to add a touch more sweetness.
When I first came up with the vague idea for this roasted acorn squash and sweet potato soup, I was initially interested in doing something with curry powder, but after taking a long hard look into my (disorganized) spice cabinet, I noticed a ton of garam masala….and it got me thinking.
Garam masala, a fairly well known North Indian spice mix, is typically made black and white peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, and cardamom pods. In other words, it includes some of the best autumnal warming spices ever.
Warming spices that are happen to pair wonderfully with roasted acorn squash, sweet potato, and sauteed onion. The addition of ginger, which adds just the slightest zing to every spoonful, and creamy (light) coconut milk take it to the next level. Enjoy!
Roasted Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
Yield: 4-6 Large Servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
- 2 -3 lb acorn squash, sliced lengthwise in half and seeds removed
- 3 small sweet potatoes (~1 lb)
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 ½ cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 2/3 cup light coconut milk
- salt
- pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (Fahrenheit). Slice the acorn squash in half (lengthwise) and remove the seeds and guts--place cut side up on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, drizzle and rub the cut side with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on the baking sheet along with the acorn squash.
- Roast for 45 minutes to an hour, or until both the potato and acorn squash are fork tender and very soft. Remove from oven and when cool enough to handle, remove the squash and sweet potato flesh from their skin and set aside in a large bowl. Discard the skin.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in medium-sized soup pot. Add the onion and saute over low heat until soft and completely translucent.
- Add the ground ginger and garam masala and cook for an additional minute or two, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Add the vegetable broth, roasted squash, and sweet potato.
- Bring to low simmer, cover, and cook for an additional for 10-15 minutes.
- Puree in a blender (in batches, if necessary) and return to heat. Add the coconut milk and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste (at this point, you can also add an additional pinch of ginger or garam masala, if you so desire).
- Serve hot and drizzle with a spoonful of coconut milk and touch of extra virgin olive oil.
Acorn squash and any type of potato desperately needs salt--so don't skimp on the seasoning!

Thanks Ali! Nope, you can never have enough squash. 😉
Gorgeous! I love soups like this — so perfect for fall.
Thanks so much Rachel!! Can't wait to make more during the coming months…
This is gorgeous!! Wow and the flavors sound incredible! I love making soup too, it is the perfect way to spend a fall day!
Yes! I love how relaxing it is to just chop tons of ingredients and cook a one pot meal. Thanks Tieghan! Now I just need a side of skillet cookie….
Looks good Laura! I have yet to make a soup this fall. Maybe that is because I don't have a kitchen right now?
Yeah, that might explain that… Just spoke to Brian today! Glad you'll have access to a new fancy kitchen this weekend!
Sounds delicious! Fall is my favorite season for food too : )
Isn't it the best?!? Thanks so much Natalie!!
This looks delicious! I love the addition of garam masala (one of my favorites that I use in spicy potatoes with yogurt gravy!). I'm thinking this might be how we start off Thanksgiving, which we are hosting this year
Ooh that potato dish sounds amazing. Let's swap!!!
Coconut milk can do no wrong! Pinned!
So very true. I have a problem when it comes to coconut milk. I literally have to stop myself, otherwise every other recipe on the blog would include it, haha! Thanks so much Averie!
Squash and sweet potatoes are my autumn dream come true! Add in coconut and I'm even more in love!
I keep buying more and more squash and sweet potatoes at the store every week. Can't get enough!! Thanks Sues!
Fall IS totally the best cooking/baking season! And soup is like a bowl full of fall! The the way you flavored this!
Yes, it totally is. Basically any time that I can get away with cooking whatever I want (and not sweating profusely in the process), I'm incredibly happy. Thank you, thank you!
Love soups too. Made one today also with coconut milk. Your recipe and pics are awesome!
Ooh what did you make?? I love hearing new recipe ideas (especially ones that involve me having to buy more coconut milk. I have a serious problem when it comes to that stuff.)
Thank you so much for the kind words, Archana!! It means a lot
I can just imagine the amazing aroma as this soup bubbles on the stovetop! What a wonderful autumn soup. It looks so delicious, Laura!
Thanks Georgia!! I was eyeing your stuffed pepper soup the other day–looked so good.
I always feel that pumpkin and sweet potatoes are an either or situation. This soup proves me wrong, obviously! So good looking Laura! And my garam masala never seems to decrease, I have a ton too.
Glad I'm not the only one with a massive stash of garam masala, haha! I don't use it nearly enough–but it works so well with so many of my favorite fall foods. Thanks so much Paula !!
Man, this is perfect for fall — and we've gotten obsessed with acorn squash over at my house! Wish I had a big bowl right now.
Thanks so much Meg! I keep buying more and more squash every time I go to the store. I can't help it–especially when I know it won't be there in a few months time
This recipe is excellent. I have made it several times with different vegetables (butternut squash, acorn squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes) and even tried a sage and butter flavor in place of the garam masala. It is delicious everytime. Thank you for sharing!!!
Most soup recipes feature butternut squash, not acorn. That was intriguing to me. Pinned.
Thanks so much Suzanne!
What a great recipe! Made it for dinner the other night and my (picky) husband says, "mmmm… very Fall-y". And It made TONS OF SOUP! Lunch all week 😀 Thanks!
Thank you so much Jeni!! So glad you enjoyed it, and I really appreciate you taking the time to give me the feedback. Soup leftovers are the BEST leftovers
OMG – this is delicious!!! Made a butternut ginger squash the other day and when I said I wanted to make this my boyfriend, said – it can't be better – this was SOOOO MUCH BETTER – just delicious – great recipe!
This makes me SO happy!
I've made this three times this fall and winter. It never disappoints. Grateful reader!
That makes me so happy! Thank you Emma!
Made this today with my vitamix I received for Christmas. It was amazing! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE this soup recipe! I downright love pureed soups, and this combo does not disappoint. I'm making it as I type this….I love the smell of roasting things and sauteed onion. mmm-M!
Yay! So happy to hear that. Thanks for the feedback Sandy!
Made this last night- delish! The only thing was it was a bit more labor intensive than I thought it would be, but at least I have leftovers!
I added a lot more ginger and garam masala at the end, as well as a few tablespoons of honey and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to give the soup a little bit more flavor.
This is super easy and came out delicious! Perfect way to kick off the Fall season!
Are you supposed to remove the sweet potato skins?
Hi Dave! So sorry about that. I just fixed the recipe. It was supposed to read "scoop the squash and potato flesh from their skin…" Yes! You definitely want to discard the sweet potato skin. Sorry for the confusion!
Do you need to peel the sweet potatoes?
Added the onion, a couple of left over carrots and the masala to the roasting pan – will be interesting to see if the taste is the same as I made it last time (yummy). Could be even easier!
Made this tonight and it was very good! I made as written and it was on the sweeter side for our savory-minded family so we added Bragg's Liquid Aminos (soy sauce) and hot sauce, then topped with goat cheese. Preteen, teen and husband are all eating it happily as I type! Thank you!
Thanks so much Laurel! Love your suggestions. I totally agree – this soup is definitely on the sweeter side (I tend to be a savory person myself too, but don't mind it as much when it comes to squash). Thanks for the feedback!
I have made this soup twice since I found it on Pinterest 2 weeks ago. It is my new favorite! It's so easy to make, and absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for sharing!
Delicious coconut milk recipe. I didn't have the Indian spice combo but I got the gist. I used a touch of cumin nutmeg and cinnamon, a few crushed coriander seeds, upped the ginger and a touch of chili pepper. Delicious and hearty without lactose effects. Thank you! A big hit.
So thrilled you enjoyed it Tracey! I love this soup too. Glad that you could improvise the spices and make it work for you!

Drinking Water
Fresh water reticulated in major towns on the mainland of Viti Levu has been treated and is safe to drink. This applies to many of the resorts on the mainland. A number of the Fiji island resorts pipe their water from the mainland as well, making the water drinkable. Some resorts have installed desalination plants and in these cases, visitors will be advised by the resorts, as to suitability of water for drinking.
A Guide to the Right Clothes to Wear
Visitors to the Fiji Islands need a light tropical wardrobe. Togs, shorts, T-shirts and a sulu are a must. During the cool season it would be advisable to take a sweatshirt particularly at night when temperatures drop. Wearing togs is fine at the resorts but visitors should be careful to respect local feelings when visiting villages or shopping in town. At such times it is easy to take a sulu to use as a wrap around so no offence is caused.
The Fiji Islands are free from most tropical diseases and inoculation is not required unless entering from a designated infected area. Hospitals are located in major towns.

PART QUALITY: Very High
Eagle Eyes replacement parts will get the job done. They do not have the same high-quality construction seen with other parts, but hold up fairly well over time and keep your vehicle on the road. Eagle Eyes headlights and tail lights may see stress fractures or fogging at a higher frequency than other brands we carry.
PART QUALITY: High
This brand boasts the highest grade of materials, in addition to a durable construction that helps to protect your investment years into the future. The components are long-lasting, and are not prone to cracks or fogging like many other inferior brands.
PART QUALITY: Fair
DEPO parts are well-constructed and quite durable. Though not the highest grade we carry, these parts are a great blend of price and quality. Over time, DEPO parts will exhibit signs of wear, and will require replacing a bit sooner than higher-quality brands.
I have a Toyota Tacoma pick-up and the headlights were beginning to oxidize pretty bad. I was at the dealer getting my oil changed when I inquired on the replacement price. I about fell over when they said $279.00 + tax (7%). I could not believe the headlights would be almost $600 to replace so I went online to www.Go-Parts.com and seen the same headlights for $50.00. I ordered one thinking I would take a chance and worried if I would be disappointed. They arrived quickly and to my surprise were exactly the same (minus the oxidation) and went in no problem. They even came with new bulbs already in them. I ordered the other headlight and had the same great experience. Go-Parts has exceeded my expectations in service, quality, and price. I recommend the site to everyone I know!

A man was shot during a robbery attempt at an apartment complex in Columbia County just after midnight, and authorities say four people are being sought.
Captain Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to Thoroughbred Lane at the Westwood apartment complex off Washington Road in Evans just after midnight.
25 year old Jamal Fielding told police he was sitting on a bench behind the clubhouse when he was approached by two black males and two black females who demanded cash and jewelry. Fielding was shot in the leg when he refused to comply.
One of the male suspects was wearing a dark t-shirt, a baseball cap and a gold chain with a cross. The other was wearing a black tank top, similar jewelry and had gold teeth. Both female suspects were believed to be 17 to 18 years old. One was wearing a light-colored shirt, the other had tight shorts and was wearing her hair in a bun. Anyone with information that could help authorities find the suspects is asked to contact the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

McCoy is setting up an interview with the San Diego Chargers, according to a person informed of the discussions between McCoy and the team. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the Chargers haven't confirmed their interviews publicly.
McCoy is a strong contender for the Cardinals' job and impressed the Bears as well. But the Chargers are looking for someone to help Philip Rivers. Given McCoy's ability to build offenses around both Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning the past two years, he would make plenty of sense in San Diego.
The Chargers have also interviewed former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt. They're scheduled to interview Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden as well.

Loving Municipal Schools students returning to school in the fall to start the 2013-14 school year will have lighter backpacks. The district is doing away with textbooks and moving to digital-based learning.
School Superintendent Kris Baca said the district is planning to purchase electronic digital tablets that will be assigned to students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
"We are starting the process," Baca said. "We plan to purchase one-to-one hand-held tablets for all students. Hopefully, we will have them when school starts in the fall. We are exploring the options how to deliver the content through digital means, what kind of resources to provide and some sort of platform for storage and dissemination to students."
She said the district is also looking at devices that can be locked to prevent students from downloading things that may be inappropriate and not related to their school work.
The Loving Board of Education will hold a special meeting May 14 to consider a resolution granting final approval of a lease-purchase arrangement for the tablets at an estimated cost of $500,000.
According to the school officials, the lease-purchase will be funded through the annual ad valorem tax revenue, of which the school district receives a portion.
Baca said after students receive their tablet, they will be able to take it home to do their homework and special assignments.
She said the district is aware that not all students have access to the Internet at home so it will be made available to them at school to upload any document they will need relating to their school work.
Baca said there are several benefits to students and educators having electronic devices.
"Students who are sick and at home can get their lessons and homework assignments from home. When teachers have to be out of the classroom, they will be able post the lessons digitally. There will still be a need for a substitute teacher, but the substitute won't have to teach the (content)."
Baca said many students already have a good knowledge of manipulation of such devices and it will prepare them for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers assessment tests, known as PARCC.
PARCC is a consortium of 22 states - that includes New Mexico - working together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers.
According to the PARCC website, the assessment tests will be ready for states to administer during the 2014-15 school year.
"The new assessment will be technology based on the computers. By providing all our students with the electronic devices, they will have more manipulation with that. They will have the foundation to take the assessment," Baca said.

Product OverviewA romantic action-adventure epic set in Australia prior to World War II that centers on an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) who inherits a large ranch. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) to protect her ranch. Together they experience four life-altering years, a love affair and the bombing of Darwin during World War II.

Editors Note
|MOULIN ROUGE's Baz Luhrman and Nicole Kidman reteam for this epic that pays homage to their homeland. In AUSTRALIA, Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman) is a prim and proper Englishwoman who journeys to Australia in the years before World War II reached the country's shores. She is determined to have her estranged husband sell his cattle ranch to a monopoly-craving businessman named King Carney (Bryan Brown), but when she arrives, Lord Ashley is dead, and her plan to sell the ranch changes when she sees an employee named Fletcher (David Wenham) cheating her husband's business and mistreating a young boy named Nullah (Brandon Walters) because he is of mixed race. Urged on by both pride and a sense of justice, Lady Ashley wants to drive her herd of cattle to Darwin so she can sell them to the troops, but she'll require the help of an independent cowboy (fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman) to get them there. ^AUSTRALIA changes genres almost as much as Kidman's character changes from fantastic costume to fantastic costume (courtesy of Luhrman's wife and collaborator, Catherine Martin). The film begins as a fish-out-of-water comedy, then changes into a Western, then morphs into a romance, and it finishes as a World War II drama. But in this genre-bending epic, there's something for everyone, especially for fans of Jackman. The actor has rarely looked better, and there's plenty of opportunity for him to show that he can be an action star as well as a romantic lead in the mold of the Golden Age stars. The film itself harks back to classic Hollywood, at times resembling essentials such as GONE WITH THE WIND and THE AFRICAN QUEEN. And fans of THE WIZARD OF OZ will enjoy seeing how the beloved film works its way into AUSTRALIA's plot and score.

|Australia is big and bold and brash - although one wouldn't expect less from director Baz Luhrmann, whose vocabulary doesn't include words like "restrained" and "low-key." A would-be epic on a grand, David Lean-inspired scale, Australia falls far short of intentions and expectations. (One wonders whether rumored studio meddling has anything to do with this.) The problems are numerous - a meandering screenplay, a too-long running time, an uneven tone, and a lack of real emotional punch. It looks great, but the same comment can be made about Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, which shares more than a passing resemblance. Both are fictional melodramas that play out against an historical backdrop where the invented characters and circumstances are dwarfed into insignificance by the real events that establish the setting...Visual flourishes are Luhrmann's trademarks, and he has employed them in his three previous international successes: Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, and Moulin Rouge. There's no arguing that Australia looks good. The Japanese attack provides a few moments of shock and awe, and there's never a time when you don't believe the world you're seeing, even if the characters are on the insubstantial side. Such a gorgeous playground deserves to be the setting for a story of greater power and emotional resonance than the one occupying it. Lurhmann has proven with Moulin Rouge that he's an unapologetic romantic who can pluck the heartstrings, but the magic doesn't translate here. The big romantic climax is so obligatory that it loses most of its effectiveness. We should want to leap to our feet and cheer at this moment. Instead, it's hard to generate enough enthusiasm to do more than shrug.
|James Berardinelli
|At 155 minutes, Australia is ambitious to a fault. You can actually point to two movies jockeying for position on screen (well, one full story and the seeds of another). And while I quite liked the primary story, the third-act coda struck me as fodder for a potential sequel I wasn't prepared to sit through at the time...Luhrmann and three credited screenwriters begin Australia on Far Away Downs, a cattle ranch owned by Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) and operated, up until now, by her late husband. Ashley makes the long journey from London to shut down and sell off the property. But criminal plotting by rival cattle baron King Carney (Bryan Brown) and his chief thug, Fletcher (David Wenham), cause a change of heart. She recruits a raffish guide known only as The Drover (Hugh Jackman) for a harsh cross-country trek to deliver her cattle to the port town of Darwin so Carney can't sell his beef and purchase Ashley's land...But Luhrmann just doesn't know when enough's enough. Long after the drive has reached a satisfying conclusion, Australia continues to slog through a drawn-out rescue mission (comeuppance for a villain who's already been served), a near-death experience for Ashley, and a Japanese aerial invasion that marks Australia's entrance into World War II...Working up the energy for Baz's back-to-back adventures is exhausting, and the length of Australia takes its toll over the last 50 minutes. Apparently Luhrmann wasn't prepared to part ways with his characters once his bovine story line had subsided, so he cobbled together half-hearted assignments meant to prolong their stay. There's enough material in Australia to warrant a mini-series, which is how the feature film plays out. In one sitting, it's a tough sit.

C&S Through the Years
Israel Cohen and Abraham Siegel establish a small grocery warehouse in a three-story brick building on Winter Street in Worcester, MA. They name their new business "C&S." With just three employees, they stock and deliver 1,200 products to stores and markets throughout the city.
Worcester's Blackstone River floods the C&S warehouse, destroying its entire inventory.
C&S moves to a drier facility on Hygeia Street, in a warehouse twice the size of the Winter Street facility.
World War II begins. Lester Cohen, Israel's son, serves as a B-24 navigator in the Pacific. From this experience, Lester sees an opportunity for C&S to work with commissaries on military bases. By 2008, C&S is servicing 19 bases.
America's retail food industry undergoes a transformational change, as "supermarkets" begin to attract customers from the smaller Mom and Pop grocery stores that had served America for decades. Meanwhile, C&S introduces an efficient "roller system" in the warehouse to streamline operations. C&S also introduces the revolutionary idea of staffing trucks with just one employee who works as both driver and salesman, cutting delivery costs in half.
C&S moves to a 35,000 square foot warehouse in Worcester. By now, Lester is working full-time with his father. Seeing his son's energy, talent and drive, Israel Cohen gives him executive responsibility for the entire company.
C&S wins the Big D supermarket account. Serving this eight-store chain signals the beginning of C&S's transition from a supplier of small independent stores to a large wholesale company serving supermarket chains.
C&S outgrows its warehouse and moves to a 200,000 sq. ft. facility on Pullman Street, former home of the famous Pullman train cars.
Rick Cohen joins the company. C&S builds a facility in Brattleboro, Vermont to service chain stores more competitively. As a result, sales explode, reaching $14 million in 1974.
C&S establishes a relationship with United Way and begins supporting local health and human service organizations. This marks the beginning of the company's community involvement and corporate giving programs.
C&S chose America's Second Harvest (now Feeding America) as the company's primary national partner for food donations to millions of families in need. Over the next three decades, C&S will donate an estimated 2 billion pounds of food.
C&S launches its annual Charitable Golf Outing to fund organizations that help children with cancer.
The company wins Stop & Shop's frozen food business and builds a huge freezer unit at its Brattleboro facility. The same year, C&S acquires the dry grocery business for Waldbaum's Food Mart, a division of A&P. Sales reach $540 million.
C&S continues to add national and regional customers, including Wal-Mart Super Centers, Pathmark, A&P's Superfresh stores, Grand Union, Shaw's, Safeway, Big Y, Giant Foods and many others. The company's warehouses increasingly include massive freezers and refrigerators for dairy, meat and frozen foods.
Annual sales reach $1 billion.
C&S purchases 192 Grand Union stores, keeping 30 as Grand Union Family Markets and selling the majority to other grocery retailers.
On September 12, C&S drivers deliver truckloads of bottled water and granola bars to Ground Zero for the first response teams helping at the scene.
Annual sales top $8 billion.
C&S launches its community-based mini-grant program, with requests for support reviewed and decided on by local C&S employees.
The company opens facilities in Harrisburg and Chester, NY
Eighty-eight C&S Associates participate in Make A Difference Day, beginning an annual tradition for the company. Associates also launch an annual food donation program to mark Hunger Awareness Day, collecting thousands of tons of food for hungry kids.
The American Red Cross honors the company as a Platinum Sponsor.
Forbes magazine ranks C&S as the 10th largest privately held company in the nation.
The company establishes "Dollars for Doers," a program that honors employees by donating money to organizations they volunteer for in proportion to the hours they serve.
The company is named New Hampshire's Philanthropist of the Year.
The company expands into the Southeast, acquiring facilities in Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina. It boosts its retail holdings with the purchase of Southern Family Markets.
In September, C&S mobilizes to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, sending dozens of trucks loaded with fresh water, ice and food to the Gulf area; our trucks arrive days before any government assistance.
Annual sales reach nearly $20 billion, as C&S expands its relationship with A&P and wins the frozen food business for Albertson's stores in Northern California.
America's Second Harvest names C&S "Grocery Distributor of the Year."
In April, Lester and Rick Cohen are inducted into the Food Industry Hall of Fame.
C&S receives the "Hero Award" from the national childhood literacy organization "First Book" for outstanding commitment to children.
C&S co-sponsors a leadership conference for the hunger organization Share Our Strength; over 300 activists from around the country attend.
The company achieves its best-ever year, earning record profits.

Wine Gang Fair in London
The Wine Gang's 3rd Christmas Fair in London (October 29th at Vinopolis, Bank End) is very close to a sell-out with a couple of dozen tickets left for sale. There's an extraordinary line-up of 600 wines available to taste, priced from Ł5.99 to Ł105.00! Earlybird tickets (£15, full price £20) are available for another five days (whilst stocks last) and buy the chance to taste over £10,000 worth of wine - no strings attached! Tickets from
. Even if you have already bought your tickets, remember that you can add a ticket to one of our great masterclasses - sit-down, tutored tastings by the winemakers in a private room. The amazing vertical of Yalumba's top shiraz and viognier wines includes library stock going back for over 14 years. The hugely entertaining Jose-Manuel Ortega of Argentinean superstar estate O.Fournier is showing top wines like Alfa Crux and Alfa Spiga, rated in the mid-90s by us and critics like Robert Parker. Buy tickets for these at just £15 each using the same link.
Blanc on a Camel
Chef Raymond Blanc visited Camel Valley vineyards near Nanstallon in Cornwall to source the wine for his one hour BBC Christmas Special which will be broadcast later in the year. Raymond wanted to know what specialties the ownwers, Bob and Annie Lindo, made at Christmas to go with their award winning sparkling wines and then cooked together with Annie Lindo in her farm house kitchen. Said Bob Lindo: "I had to break it to Annie gently that she would be cooking with Raymond Blanc of Le Manoir fame in her own kitchen, no pressure!" However, Bob needn't have worried, because Raymond was apparently "blown away," with the quality of the local ingredients. Added Annie: 'We cooked scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and croissant. The salmon was caught in the Camel at the bottom of our farm and smoked in Cornish oak, the eggs were local and free range too, and of course we used only Cornish butter and milk.' Camel valley have also just made a special wine to commemorate the 20th vintage, and to celebrate "22 years of pruning 100,000 vines."
iPad sommelier on the move
Having recently used one for the first time in Olivier's restaurant in Lisbon, I do think the iPad wine list has lots of advantages and can make choosing wine more fun. Not only are there photos of each wine and room for lots of information, but special food matching selectors, special offer wines and all sorts of interactive content certainly brings the traditional wine list to life. Following the success of the SmartCellar iPad wine lists in Gordon Ramsay's Claridges, Maze and Maze Grill, producer Napa Solutions says "the relationship grows stronger still thanks to glowing customer feedback," and SmartCellar has also been adopted in Ramsay's new venue, Bread Street Kitchen.
Promos lose their bite?
Signs of a less promotion-obsessed nation have been revealed in two new UK wine consumer focused reports from Wine Intelligence. Price promotions are no longer the main purchasing consideration for the 28.3 million UK regular wine drinkers, that is according to the 'UK Landscapes Report', an in-depth market guidebook. Whilst promotions do remain an important choice cue, grape variety is, after a period of absence, back as the number one factor in the decision-making process. In a separate development, drinkers are paying more attention to the alcoholic content of what they are buying compared to last year and appeal of the bottle or label design has also become more influential. Almost a quarter of regular wine drinkers say they venture beyond the Ł6 bottle price. Wine Intelligence's 'wine drinker segmentation report' says that 'Adventurous Connoisseurs', the middle-aged confident wine drinkers have grown significantly since 2007 and account now for around 1 in 10 of all UK wine drinkers. 'Generation Treaters' meanwhile, the younger big-spending wine drinkers, now represent a similar sized group. These two groups now represent 20% of the population but account for 34% of the total spend on wine in the UK. Graham Holter, associate director of Wine Intelligenc, esays: "There is a significant (and arguably growing) mass of people who aren't solely obsessed with discounts, who seek out specialist retailers and unfamiliar wines, and who don't entirely rely on the old certainties".
Japan/Burgundy solidarity
More than 119,000 euros have been collected for the benefit of the Japanese Red Cross following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in March. In April the winegrowers, wine merchants and Caves Cooperatives of Burgundy committed 2,300 bottles for sale, and donations have been so generous that three separate sales had to be organised, including the last one at Christie's on 23rd September. The sales did better than all expectations. "This effort of solidarity has ended in grand finale, with a wonderful result that more than satisfies our expectations," says Sophie Meunier, President of the organizing association, Mosaďque Bourgogne International. The sales included some rare and very old Crus, and a spokesman for Christie's Paris, where the final sale realised over 70,000 euros said "Bids were flying in from all sides, both within the room and from the other side of the World, via telephone."
