My recent article for Newsweek on a remarkable single garden organic tea company in Bangladesh, who's creator, (happens to hold a doctorate in comparative literature) came up with a brilliant, exemplary why to come up with the cow dung needed to restore health to the land.

My latest article for Newsweek, on the natural wine debate and its 'ugly underbelly.'
I'm not sure 'we' should. No one should except people who love them, but there's certainly no reason to 'hate' them, is there?

Well, at least on a blog.
Some of you might have read an earlier version of my night at Rao's here on this very blog. However, wanting the piece to have a larger life and a larger readership, I pulled it down in a matter of days. Recently, I took it out of the box, reworked it and sent it off to New York Magazine's GrubStreet. I'm delighted it has a good home.

Is the cocktail sexier than wine or is it all smoke and mirrors. Maybe it's the word, cock-tail. Maybe it's the uniform; piercings or the tattoos or the little bar caps, or the unkempt historical beards. Maybe it's that tactile opportunity to hold a glass, or the sex-toy like bar tools. Perhaps its the flirtations with barkeeps, or the sultry whiskey voices. But in competitions --even in writing--the spirit (mixed or straight) is the victor. As I told Elin McCoy who lost the James Beard award to a spirit book a few years back, it's really tough for a wine book to win, the categories should be separated.
Not only is it for some reason sexier, but most consider spirit more accessible than wine. Geeking out about the history of the cocktail is seen as everyman while geeking out about pruning techniques or stems vs. destemming is seen as patrician.
I like a well-placed spirit. I delight in an Islay or Calva. But a mixed do? Concoctions are mostly too sweet and anything but refreshing. Mixologists, barchefs and bartenders rely too much on sugar the way chefs often fall back on fat, the cheap trick to carry flavor. I find the cocktail that can deliver what it promises is not unlike the politician who fails to deliver campaign platform when in office.
The roots for my discontent might go back to my early suburban days when all was well and Becky jumping over the fence was enough to keep me cheerful. But on those afternoons, early sips of parental high-balls tasted insipid. Martinis tasted like shaving cream. I could never cotton to the vanilla candy affectation of the cigar dependent Manhattan.
With age and experience I added a few recipes to my quiver. I eventually warmed to the chilled martini, especially after Mr. Bowtie showed me the merits of drinking them wet, fifty/fifty, with aromatic vermouth. (One underappreciated drink if there ever was one.) My admiration of gin met my passion for champagne in the French 75. Love them. There was a time when I whipped up lip smacking margaritas . But ladies and gents, that's all.
While a little cocktail might be the perfect thing at the right time, I just don't want to sacrifice my liver to a potent (and caloric) cocktail when I want to save organs and calories for wine. So, if I have to bow to peer pressure, and start the meal with a cocktail, I stick with a low alcohol and bitter Campari and soda.
Sometimes fate has something else in store. That's when I met The Fall Classic at Gramercy Tavern.
There I was, drinking a big pile of crisp. burning leaves after dark. Drinking that adult cocktail, I was a kid kicking the dried leaves. Not a bad blowback for me, the cocktail denier. Not only that, but bourbon? Was this my gateway drug to the spirit?
After the second time I went back just to drink the Fall Classic I gave in to desire I emailed the Wine Director of Gramercy Tavern, the under-sung and uber-talented Juliette Pope, would she send me the recipe?
She did.
The Fall Classic. Juice and calvados. Where did this come from? Layering in the flavors. Made sense. I dug into cocktail books to find out its roots. My favorite cocktail guy, Gary Regan said, congratulations! You're writing about cocktails! He was so happy, I didn't want to tell him, no no, it's just a one off to see if it's sexier than writing about wine. (I've written about spirits, but never cocktails.) He sent me some pages from his essential tome, Joy of Mixology. While mixing calva and bourbon with citrus was common (he mentioned the Deauville from the '30's) the mixing with apple cider might have been a Gramercy T. original.
When looking at other similar recipes, like the Apple Sidecar, I realize that the GT version is far more sophisticated, the sweet flavors tempered by the dah or three of bitters.
Next step was shelling out the dough.
Gramercy recommended Bulleit for the bourbon. Looking for a good price I eyed the whiskeys at The Whorehouse (as The Owl Man used to call the Warehouse on Broadyway & Astor). I reached for the $34ish bottle and the guy next to me sneered, no.
Obviously he thought I had no taste. So much for the everyman of cocktail culture. But the Bulleit is less assertive, more about finesse than power, it was the right choice.
Over at Astor I was pointed to some dirt cheap calva but I thought, why not get something for ten dollars more that I want to drink after this cocktail flirtation.
Groult pays d'auge. ($38).
I needed Angustura. They had a huge bottle at $24. I was getting cheap. I'd hit the supermarket, that is if the shortage is over. I could not leave the store without pocketing the Domaine de la Chevalerie Bourgeuil, (Cassiopée) for under $14. So, you use it was my own fault that by the time I got the cider, the thyme, and the booze, I was nearing a $100 price tag and having a panic attack. When I got home there was a bottle of Angustra on my spice shelf! It was years old. But free. The price of the cocktail just came down by $20.
That was plenty elitist for an experiment and I felt extremely poor even if it was tax deductable. I tried not to fret or see myself homeless on the street, clutching my bottle of Bulleit and instead dusted off and scrubbed my shaker.
It's absolutely impossible for me to follow someone else's recipe, so I added more lime juice and cut back on the sugar. The thyme syrup is a lovely touch, and I topped with a dried apple. I liked it, my guests loved it. I dumped mine half way through it, (anyone know how long bitters stay fresh? That might have been my problem, after it all, it practically smelled like the tincture of gingko in my fridge.) and then reached for the bourgeuil, where fake it as I might, my passion really resides.
For me it was not as good as Gramercy's execution, theirs had more angles. Mine had more lushness. I prefer the angles. I added more lime juice, cut back the sugar. Hey maybe I didn't infuse my syprup with enough thyme. Maybe I underestimated the quantity of a bitter dash. My guests loved them, I dumped mine after drinking half. Then I pulled out my favorite bar tool, a corkscrew, and had myself an orgy.

The winemaker's new lust object. Qvevri
Here are the road obstacles
and the most common crusher.....
and the unplanted qvevri...
Georgia, the former Soviet republic of, is a land where autos share the road with pigs, sheep, and donkeys. The food pops with flavor, and wine is so knit into daily life that an extension devoted to its creation is as common in most homes as a kitchen. In these rooms, large amphorae called qvevri are planted into the soil and filled with fermenting grape juice. Often referred to as the originalwinemakers, Georgians have used the jugs in their vinification for eons, perhaps even as far back as 6000 B.C.
Yet it took an Italian to make qvevri chic.
The modern legend dates to the end of the last century. Friulian winemaker Josko Gravner had decided to pare back his own winemaking to the basics. His search for simplicity led him to Georgia. Qvevri—the Bentleys of the amphora family—seemed ideally suited to low-intervention winemaking. Burying them in the ground provided instant temperature control, perfect for natural fermentation. The point at the bottom of the vessel collected the grape crud, so no fining or filtering was necessary. And the ceramic material imparted little or no flavor to the juice.
Gravner first made his all-qvevri wine in 2000 and loved the results. The media treated his story as an oddity. Then he sold his wine for $120 a bottle. Other vintners in Italy, Slovenia, and Austria soon followed his example and snapped up the large ceramic containers. They also rubbed the Georgians the wrong way by referring to the jug as an amphora. Georgia would like the world to know, please, that qvevri refers to a specific citron-shaped clay vessel, lined protectively with molten beeswax and meant to be planted in the soil.
One of the new Italian converts to qvevri is Elisabetta Foradori. Pouring her rare white, floral wine made from the Nosiola grape, she explains why she loves the qvevri. "My wines find their identity in them so much sooner." All her production is now in qvevri, even though—don't tell the Georgians—she too calls them amphorae.
Others have added their own twist to the traditional style. Austrian Bernhard Ott makes a Grüner Veltliner labeled, simply, Qvevri. He picks his chemical-free grapes by hand. He crushes them without machinery. He pours the wine, complete with skins, seeds, and stems, into the qvevri, mimicking the way the Georgians vinify their reds. But instead of marinating his wine for a few weeks, he allows the juice to commingle with its parts for months, resulting in a slight orange color and some gritty tannin. After the wine is finished fermenting, he seals theqvevri hermetically with clay and dirt. He then forgets about the wine. Eight months later, he pries the lid open to find the crud sunk to the bottom. This is extreme hands-off winemaking. "The most pure, clear wine is left when the qvevriis opened up," he says. David Schildnecht, who covers Austria for The Wine Advocate, calls Ott's Qvevri "revelational."
A qvevri curiosity has now touched down in the New World—not in Napa, where you might expect, but in Virginia. And not for wine, but for cider. Here, too, all roads lead back to Gravner. When John Rhett, general manager of Castle Hill Cider, and cider maker Stuart Madany (both former architects) tasted Gravner's wine, they not only loved the flavor but were also attracted to the qvevri's egg shape. "Whenever nature wants to preserve life energy, it uses the same form, and that is the egg," Madney says. The two men persuaded Castle Hill's owners to shell out a hefty sum to import the vessels. This year they planted eight qvevrion Castle Hill's grounds. Perhaps the world's first qvevri cider, called Levity, is now available. Whether it's the egg shape or beginner's luck, their brew has more complexity, with a deeper flavor and more nuance, than conventional cider offerings.
If the results of qvevri weren't so impressive, one might write them off as a fad. But there is growing international interest, helped along by diehard qvevri devotees. Jonathan Wurdeman of Pheasant's Tears winery is an American expat who lives in the Kakheti region of Georgia. He organized the world's first international qvevri conference in September, with the help of the Alaverdi Monastery (making wine since 1011) and its qvevri-loving Bishop Davit. Two hundred people, from scientists and winemakers to archeologists, attended the conference. Wurdeman estimated that most qvevri wine is made for private consumption in Georgia. Only about nine wineries export bottles. There are a mere five artisans who manufacture the vessels, and all of them are older than 60. Wurdeman is hoping that the new international demand for qvevri will entice younger Georgians to keep the craft alive. Yet cost remains an impediment to qvevri becoming the hot new winemaking toy. The reach-in-and-clean size of qvevri sets a winemaker back about $8,000 (10 times the price of a barrique barrel), and the jump-in-and-clean size runs about $14,000. Even though the jugs don't need to be replaced in a winemaker's lifetime, the outlay is steep.
Still, some vintners are willing to make the investment. Pax Mahle of the Sonoma winery Wind Gap believes his desire for a qvevri will eventually overcome the price tag. "Wines fermented in terra cotta taste more complex and more ethereal" Others are making due with substitutes until they can afford a real one. Australian Tom Shobbrook, who works in the Barossa Valley, had friends build a kiln and fire some 650-liter clay "eggs" to mimic the urns, in which he ferments sémillon.
The do-it-yourself attitude is catching on. Californian Kenny Likitprakong of Hobo Wine Co. tagged a local potter to throw a 230-liter vessel. He lined it with local beeswax and buried it close to his vineyard. Ryan Glaab of Ryme Cellars also had a friend "make the biggest one he could." He's made two vintages in a 27-liter object, really more of a vase than a qvevri. In explaining why he wanted to use the qvevri style, he says, "I'm intrigued by fermenting in the ground and the notion of bringing the grapes back in direct contact with earth as a vessel for elevage, even if that earth came from another continent."
If Texas-based potter Billy Ray Mangham has his way, there will be an American version of qvevri, made from U.S. clay, in time for the 2012 vintage. Mangham was one of the attendees at the monastery conference. After a request from a local winemaker, he traveled to Georgia to learn the secrets of the qvevricraftsmen. He came back energized by the connection between wine and pottery. Now back in the Longhorn State, he's decided to make wine himself, with a 115-liter prototype vessel (the reach-in-and-clean type). Having fallen in love with Georgian culture and ceramics, there's no doubt what he'll call his creations. "Qvevri," he says. "What else?"

Tidal River Reflection by EvaMcDermottWatch
©2008-2016 EvaMcDermott
Back River in Boothbay Maine. Clearing storm reflections and fog at sunset.
Stunning shot Eva!
Fantastic Eva.
Thanks so much Gil! Appreciate the too! This is "Magic Sky" using only 1 image and Lightroom2. Yes I really like Lr2 and don't think I will be getting PS Elements 7 any time soon. ....... but I do have my eye on the 5D Mark II (and will get it - why I bought all those "L" lenses.
Is this just a magic sky or is "Magic Sky" a plug-in or an option in Lightroom?
It is just using the new brush tool to lighten, darken, sharpen, saturate, contrast, sharpen, etc. No plug in. Lightroom2 has some neat tools (Gradiant ND too! though not used here) not available in other PS products. Magic Sky was my original post using HDR. This looks more natural.
It looks great not matter what tools you used. It looks very natural, you did a wonderful job on it.
Beautiful work Eva
Thanks so much Andy. This was taken the same time I took [link] and [link] This image was only processed in Lightroom2. Slightly different view and a little softer but I like it better out of the three. Can across it while trying to organize my work and decided to repost. Anyway... thanks for the too!
What a shot m'deer! Amazing!!!
Many thanks kind Sir! The atmosphere was so amazing and changing so quickly that evening. Saw this magic only 2 other times in the 25+ years we have been going to our place in Maine!

California Dreamin' Song Lyrics
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher like the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today

Are you spending your summer at the beach, the pool, or the spray-ground? With these heat waves across the country, there's a good chance your swimsuit or at least your backyard hose is getting a lot of use this year.
But if you're looking for a watery adventure that doesn't require sunscreen, check out these 9 books about life in the water and near the ocean floor. Some of them are non-fiction, some of them are fantastical make-believe tales, and all of them are fabulous.
- Flotsam by David Wiesner. David Wiesner is one of my very favorite authors (his books almost always make an appearance in my yearly picture book gift guide), and Flotsam is, in my opinion, his very best (it's a Caldecott winner too). A little boy finds a camera washed up on the beach, but that's nothing compared to the surprise he gets when he develops the film. Brilliant, funny, and gorgeous.
- Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau by Jennifer Berne and Eric Puybaret. Cousteau is famous for his pioneering underwater films as well as work on the development of scuba gear, and this book brings him to life, from boy to international filmmaker, beautifully.
- I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry. About a giant squid who realizes everyone is pretty small compared to him, this is a perfect book for preschoolers, with its bright colors and big words.
- Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Sharks and Other Sea Monsters by Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart. Do you know a child who can resist a pop-up book? I've never met one, and this book is packed just as full of interesting facts as it is pop-up illustrations.
- Dear Fish by Chris Gall. Peter Alan tosses a message in a bottle out to sea, inviting the ocean's creatures to come ashore for a visit. Imagine his surprise when they take him up on the offer. (This book also has ten puns hidden in the story. Can you find them all?)
- Dolphin Baby by Nicola Davies and Brita Granstrom. This gorgeously illustrated book about baby dolphins is great for older kids who want to know all sorts of details about dolphins (like how they all have unique whistles, and how they learn to make them), but my two-year-old loved it too.
- Ocean Sunlight: How Tiny Plants Feed the Seas by Molly Bang and Penny Chisholm. If you want to know more about the food chains and life cycles of underwater dwellers, this is the perfect book. This is science writing for children at its best.
- Swim! Swim! by Lerch. This silly book is written by the point of view of a fish who is getting lonely in his goldfish bowl and just wants a friend. But no one seems to be a good fit (those rocks? the bubbles? All of them won't even respond to his queries for friendship).
- Star of the Sea: A Day in the Life of a Starfish by Janet Halfmann and Joan Paley. Who isn't delighted by a starfish? This non-fiction tale of how a starfish lives its life is perfect for all ages.

How grim does the weather have to be to put you off going out on your bikes?
Being new to this game, I have to confess that a gusty wind and the sight of black clouds looming makes it tempting to stay indoors with my hubby and the cats, in front of the fire!!
I'm still keen to be able to post an "after" photo in my blog come spring time, so looking for inspiration to get us out there more regularly...:p

This is an amazing color. When I use all this up I am going to be so mad. I hope they come out with this again and again. It is so pretty.

Coral Crepe looks beautiful on my C3 or C4(when I'm tan) skin. If you want to go for a brighter look, layer the Mac pigments "pink bronze" or "melon" on top of Coral Crepe and put Constructivist paint pot in the crease and outer "v". It looks awesome!

I heard really good reviews on this product and saw many makeup tutorials on it and decided I would try it. Corals can be tricky with my skin tone. I am blonde and have light to medium skin depending on how tan i am. I purchased this product a few months ago and it was way too orangey for my skin. However, now that i have some color in my face it looks absolutely gorgeous on the eye. The color is highly pigmented so you only need the slightest bit. This product will most certainly last a very long time. The MAC paint points in general are amazing. This one is a great one to pick up from the new collection if ur looking for a coral color that can be used pretty much anywhere on the face. Fair skin tones beware though, it will look too orange on your skin.

I love most of MAC's paint pots. They are dual functional as they are great primers and bases! This one is a lovely summer colour and very on trend, but if I'm picky it's a little on the dark side for my skin tone (I'm NW20). Would have been perfect for me if it was just a slightly lighter coral.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I like this orangey paintpot. It is nicely pigmented and little bit sheeny though not near as frosty as Bare study and Rubenesque. It looks matte on. I use it as a base for neutral beige shadows like MAC naked pigment and Bobbi Brown Beige shadow. It is also a great blush if you want to pack light.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love this as a blush. I haven't tried it on my eyes yet because I just feel like it would look weird on my skintone but it gives the prettiest flush that really brightens my face and makes me look like I just went jogging. Love it :) Face is currently NC35 for reference
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brown, Kinky, Coarse

Beatiful warm muted coral. Took one lippie away because of the texture, to me its not as smooth as I would like it to be. It also does not apply well when using an eye primer Great alone but even better with blues, bronzes, hot pinks, golds.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Tan, Warm

YES!!!! This is a lovely, lovely, lovely, paint pot. I love teaming this up with MAC's Expensive Pink/Twinks/Paradisco/Free to Be and use Soba or Folie (although very sheerly) on the crease with either Shroom or Ricepaper as a highlight. The look is a very beautiful summery look although I bet I could wear it all year round and it would still be appropriate (I live on a tropical island, it's summer 365 days a year, tee hee). For reference, I'm an NC42/43 with a dark lid.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Olive, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I'm NC42 and I've gotten a lot of compliments when I wear this. I like to pair it with a little Mac melon pigment on top with corduroy e/s in the crease, and sometimes shadowy lady e/s in the outer v. If I feel like it I'll smudge black eyeliner along my upper and lower lashes which looks great too.

Got this paint pot when I was picking up some products from To the Beach Collection. This was a spur of the moment purchase but based on all of the reviews here on MakeupAlley I'd knew it was a product I needed to have in my colection. Tried it on for the first time today and I must say it looks beautiful paired with Bronze eyeshadow. I put this all over my lid and Bronze in the crease and outer v. Right now this is one of my favorite looks so far.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by 6Felines My cats normally LOVE this food I am a rescue and spend hundreds of dollars a week on my little monsters (cats) as I only believe in giving them the highest quality food. When I discovered I could get cases from Chewy at a much lower price, I jumped at the opportunity. For some reason all 6 cats put their nose up to the same food they've been eating for almost a year. I'm wondering if the batches that Chewy sells are "seconds" or "rejects"??? I noticed more chunks of white greasy fat pieces mixed in and a thicker layer of gel on top than what my local pet store has in theirs. No wonder they wouldn't eat it. Gross! If I take out the chunks of fat and gel and stir in a few tablespoons of water, they will eat a little more but still a lot goes to waste. I don't have the time or money to do this everyday. I wanted to test what's really going on with them so I picked up a couple cans from my local store and what do you know, all 6 cats cleaned up their bowls and wanted more. Chewy, please clarify to me the quality of your canned food and how you are able to sell it cheaper than anywhere else online and in large pet food chains?! Am I right about the "rejects"? Many of my large cans were dented upon arrival but the small cans came without a scratch. My cats also prefer the food in the small cans over the large ones, but for how many cans I'd have to go through to satisfy them, I'd be bankrupt in no time. On a more positive note however, the customer service was absolutely impeccable and willing to give them another try! I ordered my product I believe on a Monday and received it before I went to work on Wednesday that same week. Now that's what I call service! Getting my order in less than 2 days is unheard of. Thank you for that! So Chewy, please, please, please fill my order with the same quality products as my local pet store and/or try another distributor for my next order. I'm giving you another try because of your customer service but can't compromise the quality of my cats diet if it doesn't work this time around. Thank you in advance for making this right.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ShisH Poor quality, banned substance I made the mistake of not thoroughly checking the ingredient list of each recipe from Weruva. The ingredients start out good till you hit the first gum as 4th on the list. This recipe contains all 3 of the gums...bad! It also contains Menadione Bisulfate, a cheap vitamin that is banned for human consumption. July 20, 2014

Happy to report Marshmallow, Cocoa and Butterscotch think this is the "cat's meow"..ha ha...This is a combination of lamb and tuna and has a thicker consistency than the ORIGINAL Weruva...We solve this problem by adding in a little distilled water....Again, this is a carangeenan free food which I am pleased about....Highly recommend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by lexihexi Cat loves it My cat loves it! Ever since I started feeding Weruva Shreeded Chicken, she leaves the ground type foods alone. But this one she gobbled up, despite the fact that it is ground with shreeded chicken in it. What I couldn't find was the au jus! Opened several cans so far an none had liquid in it, instead it had a fair amount of gelatin. February 24, 2013

My senior picky miss cat Will eat a bit of it, then she walks away. She comes back later and finishes it. But she eats it because she needs to eat not because she loves it. January 9, 2016

Marty initially impressed me with a rapid verbal appraisal my apartment's appeal to the market which left me feeling confident that he would be an asset in pitching it to prospective tenants. He has been easy going and flexible, and his communication has been outstanding. Together with the marketing package, systems and reputation offered by Biggin and Scott, he was able to rent my apartment in less than a week for a price that was higher than I expected. In short Marty has been a pleasure to deal with — he is professional, organised, helpful, enthusiastic, astute and knowledgable.

Goals by Kroos in the seventh minute and Mueller in the 21st built a 2-0 lead. After Lukas Podolski scored for the Arsenal in the 55th, Mario Mandzukic got Bayern's final goal in the 77th.
The second leg of the total-goals series is in Germany ...

I have always believed that for the defending Super Bowl Champions the season doesn't really begin until they, as defending champs, lose a game for the first time.
That's when you find out what they are really made of. According to that belief, the Packer season still hasn't begun, but don't tell Mike McCarthy. For the Packers sake, under this context, I hope the season never begins.
Reigning Super Bowl champions usually start the next season with a certain air of invincibility. They have a confidence and swagger that can only come from achieving the ultimate prize the season before.
They win early season games, in part, because of who they are. They believe they should win, they know how to win, and they believe more than their opponents that they are really, really good.
Trust me folks, belief is a big part of winning in the NFL where there is not a wide divergence of talent.
But, in the league of "on any given Sunday," at some point, the champs lose a game. The first loss is a slap in the face, a wake-up call, a return to reality. Sometimes it's a mere speed bump. More than loss of confidence, that first setback usually fuels anger in the defending champs.
While they haven't lost yet, the 2011 Packers have, figuratively, been slapped in the face and knocked down even while running their record to 6-0.
On the road at Carolina, they were down, 13-0. At Atlanta, they were in a 14-0 hole early in the second quarter. Remember the Packers never trailed by more than seven points in any of their 20 games (including postseason) last season.
While their offense, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, has been operating at an extremely high level, the defense has struggled to find its way at times this season.
Losing all-pro safety Nick Collins to a neck injury is a big part of the problem on that side. But even before losing Collins, Tramon Williams suffered a shoulder injury in the opener and until very recently was not himself.
Sam Shields, the promising second-year corner, struggled in the first few weeks of the campaign and was not the same player he was at the end of the Super Bowl run.
On the line, there is no question the Packers miss the pass-rushing presence of defensive end Cullen Jenkins, who left via free agency for Philadelphia. Last season, he provided the pressure on opposing quarterbacks opposite Clay Matthews.
It was one thing to see Drew Brees and the Saints put 396 yards of passing offense on the board opening night, but quite another to watch Carolina rookie quarterback Cam Newton register 404 passing yards in Week 2.
For defensive coordinator Dom Capers, the defense is a work in progress right now.
The Packer pass defense was outstanding a season ago with three of the four starters in the secondary earning Pro Bowl designation. This season, they have struggled on the back line, and it shows in terms of explosion plays.
In the first six weeks of the season, the Packers have given up nine plays of 20 yards or more through the air. While opponents have been able to put big yardage numbers on the Packer defense, scoring has been another story.
On Sunday, the Rams offense dropped 424 yards on the Packer defense, but by the end of the day, all they had was three points.
The Packer defense has responded when it counts - especially deep in its own territory.
In 21 opponents' drives in the red zone, the Packers have given up just eight touchdowns.
The Rams managed three points in three trips inside the 20, with a turnover and a loss on downs. The bottom line of good defense has always been points allowed and of late the Packers have allowed just three points in their last six quarters of play.
The other factor that has allowed the Packers to survive some less-than-stellar moments on defense is takeaways. The Packers have 14 in the first six weeks of the season, while the offense has turned the ball over just seven times.
Offensively, the Packers entered last week first in points and fourth in yardage.
On Sunday, they rolled to 24 points and 271 yards of offense in the first half against the Rams but struggled in the second half.
The Packers were 0 for 6 on third downs in the second half against the Rams due to three dropped third-down passes, one of which resulted in an interception. They managed just 128 yards of offense and posted their first scoreless half of the season.
Most coaches will tell you that no win on the NFL level is to be taken for granted. There are no style points in this black and white business.
Sure the Packers need to tighten the pass coverage, need more consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback, would like to run the football more effectively and could use a little more effective punt coverage.
While they haven't lost, Green Bay has had their poise tested on the road facing double-digit deficits on two occasions.
They won an electric opener in a rematch of the last two Super Bowl champions, beat their archrivals in Chicago and took care of business at home against lowly Denver and St. Louis.
What we have here is a team that never flinches, shows great character and depth and doesn't take opponents lightly. There is a long way to go but being 6-0 with plenty of room to grow is a good place to be.

Think customer service is a synonym for customer experience? Think again, suggests Alpharetta, Ga.-based customer experience (CX) consultant Jim Bass. "Customer service happens after the sale. Customer experience starts before the sale," he explained.
Bass stirred a lot of interest on LinkedIn recently with a post that explored the importance of pre-sale processes. The story got more than 15,000 views and 1,674 shares on LinkedIn.
This week, Bass talked with CMSWire to share more insights on CX — including the things companies tend to get wrong and the reasons why so many customer interactions are still so bad.
Nope, CX isn't rocket science. But it's not easy to get right, either.
Understanding CX
Before leaving to work as a consultant earlier this year, Bass was director of customer support, customer advocacy, loyalty programs and customer success at McKesson Corp., a health care services company. He is credited with using the voice of the customer (VOC) and voice of the employee (VOE) to implement programs, projects and initiatives to increase customer satisfaction, engagement and loyalty while containing or reducing costs and minimizing churn.
With that experience in mind, we thought it made sense to ask him to identify the most important thing marketers should understand about CX.
"Customer Experience goes beyond the product," he said. "It's the sum of all experiences the customer has with the vendor who is hopefully working to be a partner. This starts before the sale process and feeds into a life cycle loop of product selection, installation, use, service, support, optimizing, enhancing, purchasing new products/services and recommending to family, friends and colleagues. Customer experience is not the responsibility of one group or function in the organization. Everyone must own it and buy-in to it or it will fail."
So what do businesses tend to get wrong?
1. Some businesses focus more on profits than on meeting customer needs.
2. Others fail to take the time to understand both customer and workforce needs.
"Businesses can't make knee-jerk reactions to competitors or the industry market and/or sell services and products without listening to and getting buy-in from the product development, customer services/support organizations and the customer before development or deployment," he said. And there are plenty of questions to consider.

Japanese Goldfish Mask 2010 by merimaskWatch
©2010-2016 merimask
Just an updated version of my beloved Japanese Goldfish mask. The design was inspired by a wall mural in Narita Airport...if you've ever flown into Narita you'll know the one I'm talking about.
As ever, this is made from hand-carved, hand-shaped 8oz tooling leather and painted with Liquitex acrylics. Signed, dated original, available only at my online Etsy site: [link]

Your goldfish masks are so elegantly simple and I just can't seem to look away, and I'm just waiting for an excuse to finally wear mine! Beautiful design.
Just found your gallery, and I'm sure glad I did! I'm hoping to make a bird mask for this Halloween, and your are so exciting beautiful and inspiring!
I am trying to remember the mural you are talking about in Narita! I have been living in Japan for the past 3 years and fly back state side at least once a year and can't remember what you are talking about!!
Gorgous contrast between the old-gold and blue/black colour. Very elegant!
There's just something so beautiful and elegant about this blue and gold color combination! (or is that the blueish black I love so much?) Either way, simply gorgeous, m'dear!
The bubbles add such a touch of whimsy to it!
my I like your style of goldfish....and the BUBBLES!!!
This is so unique!!
It's beautiful. However, the solid colored fish looks very a-typical for you. Usually you add shadings, other colors or highlights to the characters on your masks, so it seems a bit plain. But maybe that's exactly the effect you were going for.
True. I stayed very true to the Japanese ideal of "just enough" with this design. It's more about balance, flow & simplicity than detail.
I looked up the Narita Airport mural, and this is a lovely interpretation. I LOVE the bubbles. Are they jeweled? It's hard to tell with the lighting.
Thank you! The bubbles are stamped using a "seed" tool...it makes perfect rounded dots. Then I just carefully painted them with Liquitex bright silver. It looks almost like metal studs.
Oh, that's a neat tool.
I can imagine putting beads or jewels in some of the larger bubbles; I think that'd look nice.

Love the silvery sheen of the fish!
I love this - it's simple and clean, but with enough intriguing details to draw the eye to it again and again. Great job.
I remember that mural! I love the little air bubbles especially.
beautiful effect with the fish tail trailing off the side.
Hey! That looks a lot like my nose-fish! Which, btw, is hanging on the Christmas tree right now.
The asymmetry, flowing lines, and simple, flat colors are wonderful! My favorite part is the curling fin.
Thank you. I like offset designs...it reminds me of a person with one earring or a flower in their hair.
wow really cool
huge fan of gold and dark blue, this looks awesome!
Oooh, I like this one a lot! Especially the blue colour for some reason. I think ... this might be my favourite out of all your masks so far. :S It's ... seemingly simple, but yet ... not.
WOW! It's lovely!
Bubbles! It looks lovely Did you use a different god color?
god=gold, sorry ^^°
Love the bubbles!
Thanks! I cheat and stamp them in with a "seed" stamp.
Beautiful, and so classy. I love the way you make the tail look so... 'flowy'.
I love this. Koi fish are so pretty

ABSTRACT: To explore a simple and effective method to determinate the volume of CD34(+) cells in the peripheral blood of donors received drug mobilization for stem cell transplantation by using flow cytometry, the mobilized peripheral blood from donors and 100 micro l fresh whole blood were labeled with monoclonal antibodies Anti-CD34-PE and Anti-CD45-FITC, after lying the red blood cells, and assessed with flow cytometer FL2 (log) vs SSC (log) and FL1 (log) vs SSC (log) were mainly used for analysis windows. The results showed that a level of CD34(+) cells in whole nucleated cells as low as 0.05% - 0.1% can be detected effectively using this method when 10(5) nucleated cells were counted. At day 5 or day 6, the level of CD34(+) cells in most samples of patients reached a peak volume, some of samples and the levels were more than one percent in. It was concluded that CD34(+) cells can be effectively determined by using this method. According to the relative rate of CD34(+) cells, the time to harvest the stem cells in blood can be determined.
Article: The biological characteristics of adenovirus-mediated il-18 gene-modified murine colorectal adenocarcinoma cell in vivo and in vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a strong activator of NK cells and promotes the generation of IL-2, IFN-γ and GM-CSF. In the present study, we constructed adenovirus encoding IL-18 gene (AdIL-18), and observed the biological characteristics of IL-18 gene-modified murine colorectal adenocarcinoma cell (CT26)in vivo andin vitro. Methods: Gene modification was mediated by adenovirus. The proliferation of the cells was determined by MTT and IL-18 was assayed by ELISA. The cytotoxicity of NK and CTL was detected by four-hour51Cr release assay. Results: IL-18 gene modification had no effect on the proliferation and morphology of CT-26 cellsin vitro, but the growth of IL-18-modified CT26 cells was obviously inhibitedin vivo. In addition, although IL-18-modified CT26 cells could form tumor nodulesin vivo as well as LacZ-modified CT26 cells or wild-type CT26 cells, the mean survival time of the mice inoculated with IL-18-modified CT26 cells was significantly prolonged as compared with that of control groups. Thus, the anti-tumor immune responses were induced in the group of mice inoculated with IL-18-modified CT26 cells, which might be related to the activation of NK cells and CTL. However, all the three groups ultimately died of tumor. Conclusion: IL-18-modified CT26 cells could induce the anti-tumor immune responses incompletely, which required other factors for effective anti-tumor responses.
Article: [Fetal Bone Marrow Stromal Cells in Cooperation with Exogenous Cytokines Support In Vitro Expansion of Cord Blood CD34(+) Cells][Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To elucidate the role of fetal bone marrow stromal cells (FBMSC) in cooperation with exogenous cytokines in supporting the in vitro expansion of cord blood CD34(+) cells which were purified by negative immunomagnetic selection, FBMSCs were cultured with different combinations of cytokines including SCF, IL-3, IL-6, FL, G-CSF and EPO in a 14-day liquid culture system. The results showed FBMSC plus SCF, IL-3, IL-6, FL and EPO was the most effective combination which increased total nucleated cells, CFU-GM, BFU-E and CD34(+) cells by (692.4 +/- 52.7) fold, (237.1 +/- 106.6) fold, (114.8 +/- 32.8) fold and (25.3 +/- 10.1) fold, respectively. Our studies indicated that fetal bone marrow stromal cells combined with above-mentioned cytokines can efficiently expand cord blood CD34(+) cells.

Titanic survivor Molly Brown - the "unsinkable Molly Brown".
Margaret Tobin Brown was on the Titanic on its maiden voyage when it hit an iceberg. She made the crew of lifeboat 6 return to try to find other survivors, giving rise to the legend of a spunky, vocal woman. But then, she was all of that. Though both her husband and she were born of Irish immigrants, they rose to wealth but never forgot their roots.
Debbie Reynolds played Molly Brown in the movie musical "The Unsinkable Molly Brown".

Best Ceviche (2003)
It's hard to find something great to say about Anthony's since it moved into Vallone's old spot on Kirby, but their seafood martini wins Best Ceviche hands down. This is no watery, frozen-fish-tomato-goo dish. Instead, it's all about fresh mangos with Asian cabbage in a lemon vinaigrette. You want crustaceans in that ceviche? You can't miss the big chunks of crab, shrimp and lobster. At $13.95, it's pricier than most, but the lobster and mango make it worth every dollar.

The Colour Forecast represents a snapshot of what is happening in the world of design and interior decoration, and interprets the most relevant and contemporary colours into easy-to-use, inspiring palettes for the local market.
Plascon's Colour Manager, Anne Roselt, brings a wealth of knowledge and longstanding expertise to bear on the choice of colours for Plascon's forecast.
She says the forecast is a blend of the latest trends, both locally and internationally. Each colour plays a vital role in translating the trends that we see in a multitude of industries, she says.
For the 2014 forecast, Roselt worked in conjunction with leading design and trend thinkers, who identified key lifestyle, design and interior trends and then crystallised these into four key themes.
These all fall under the overall theme for 2014 of Colour Nation – a reference to the way in which colour defines our identities, our world, and our experience of it.
Urban Tribe is a response to the growing trend towards national pride, especially among the BRICS nations. With countries like South Africa and Brazil coming to the fore as global centres of design, their unique aesthetics are being showcased around the world.
Urban Tribe expresses this with a warm and grounded palette of contemporary brights, gold and black accents.
Second Nature takes a new look at our relationship with the natural world. As more and more people live in cities, the urban becomes our key reference point, and combining this with the natural world becomes vital to keep our lives balanced.
This sentiment is captured in a bright, vibrant palette of greens and blues, activated by a bright yellow accent.
Calm Contrast tracks the evolution of pastels in modern design, showing how they've moved from being purely feminine colours. This palette shows the combination of classic pastels with grounding neutrals, plus dark blues and copper, creating a balanced, contemporary feeling.
Inner Space is inspired by the ways in which we use sanctuary environments to rest and reflect in a busy world. Drawing additional colour inspiration from the stars and skies above us to enhance the contemplative mood, the theme is expressed through a collection of neutrals and blues for a deep, tonal palette.

From Sly & the Family Stone to the Dead to Journey, San Francisco has always cultivated wildly diverse musical acts, but now electro-folk innovators, punk songwriters, and free-spirited rockers have come together to form the area's first cohesive scene since the days of the Dead Kennedys, Flipper, and Green Day. A cluster of cool venues and festivals are fueling the explosion—and making fans wonder why they weren't paying attention to the Bay city sooner.
Matt Hendrickson
These avant-rockers—who released their self-titled debut in February—take cues from genre-defying legends Tortoise, mixing knotty minor-chord meanderings with euphoric guitar thrash. (sholi.com)
Sleepy Sun
Originally from Santa Cruz, this sextet carry the SF psych-rock torch, with a sound that shifts from thundering Sabbath riffs to wistful piano soul. (sleepysun.net)
The Bay Area's premier party starters, this trio of spandex-clad ladies bump and grind over hip-hop beats while spewing zany, racy rhymes like "When I was sixteen/ Lost my cherry to a boy named Barry/ Shot me with his gun like Dirty Harry." (myspace.com/hottub94608)
Li Po Lounge
Once you find this Chinatown dive, head to the basement, where local punk bands share stage time with rappers for an atmosphere that's like the ultimate college kegger. (916 Grant Ave., 415-982-0072)
Hemlock Tavern
The Hemlock is an old-timey bar in front and a renovated music space in back, hosting three acts—from local garage bands to Aussie imports—a night. (1131 Polk St., 415-923-0923; hemlocktavern.com)
Rickshaw Stop
At this kitschy spot, you can nosh on a corn dog, suck down PBR, and groove to national up-and-comers, like the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, or local electro-house spinners. (155 Fell St., 415-861-2011; rickshawstop.com)
Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival
If you're going to see the Beastie Boys this summer, do so at this fest at Golden Gate Park, which kicked off last year with a mind-blowing Radiohead set. (outsidelandssf.com, August 28-30)
Treasure Island Music Festival
A mini-Coachella with palm-tree-lined island scenery, this three-year-old event is heavy on indie-rock stalwarts (the Flaming Lips) and buzz bands (Beirut). (treasureislandfestival.com, October 17-18)
Noise Pop
If you need a winter festival fix, hit this indie-rock carnival, which has the vibe of SXSW (think Bob Mould with No Age) without the wasted college kids. (noisepop.com, February 23-28, 2010)
