When he read the rescripting he had ordered of Freebie and the Bean, Alan Arkin found the super-violent tale of two homicidal cops was no longer "unintelligible"—it was just flat-out "disgusting." Nevertheless, he was so "really strapped for bread," that he went ahead and shot the soon-to-be-released Warner Bros, property. The result, Arkin concedes, is "absolute garbage," but he figures that it might be the box office hit that revives his flagging career.
Seniority System
Her office romance with executive editor Ben Bradlee, 53, did not deter the Washington Post's Sally Quinn from a hot city-to-city pursuit of Fanne Foxe. Finally, the newshound cornered her quarry in a New York hotel and managed to slip a beseeching three-page longhand interview request to the stripper at 3 a.m. Why did this approach convince the 38-year-old Argentine Firecracker to talk about her dalliance with Rep. Wilbur Mills, 65? Reports the 33-year-old Quinn: "I poured my little heart out about the problems we both shared being in love with older men."
Spring Cleaning
President Ford's first Cabinet cleaning is expected by spring. Nixon appointees likeliest to be returned to private life: Attorney General William Saxbe, Agriculture's Earl Butz, Treasury's Bill Simon, Commerce's Fred Dent and Transportation's Claude Brinegar.
Title Search
Truman Capote may just knock Joseph Heller out of the Guinness Book of World Records for the most protracted novel-in-progress. After more than a dozen years (Joe finished his in 12), Capote blames both the contrary "narrator" he contrived to tell the story, plus a working (which is to say nonworking) title, Answered Prayers, that the characters apparently cannot live up to. So now, in hopes of unblocking his cast and himself, Capote has crudely retitled the work The Nigger Queen Kosher Cafe.
Terra Unfirma
Unsensitized by his conviction for contributing to Sen. Ed Gurney's secret kitty, Miami builder John Priestes last summer began to develop a tract he brazenly called Watergate Hills—and even recruited as salesmen Watergate burglars Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez and Eugenio Martinez. But lately after Lake Wales, Fla. neighbors of the development reacted with "disapproval and bad talk," Priestes jettisoned the plumbers and rechristened his project "Walk-in-the-Water Lake Estates."
Ms. Ten Percent
Hollywood was atwitter with leaks that superagent Sue Mengers was about to head first Paramount and then Columbia. Insiders were baffled because Mengers—who was caricatured by Dyan Cannon in the film The Last of Sheila—earns more off clients like Ryan O'Neal and Peter Bogdanovich than any studio could match. Now it's reported that Mengers planted the whispers herself to increase her personal negotiating leverage with employer Creative Management Associates. If so, the campaign worked. She has re-upped at CMA.
•When the Queen of England recently asked the Duchess of Windsor (through channels) to turn over some of her late husband's old dress uniforms to London's Imperial War Museum, Her Majesty received back from her Paris-based aunt (through channels) a curt non.
•Rosebud, which Otto Preminger filmed as a sober political melodrama, had a New York sneak preview audience suppressing inappropriate giggles until ex-Mayor John Lindsay appeared in his screen debut as a senator; then, the house cracked up out loud.
•For a royalty of approximately two cents a pack, Charlie Chaplin has authorized display of his famous image on a new continental brand of cigarettes called "Tramps."
•Petrodollars may be the way the West was ultimately bought, but there is a certain poignancy in the buy-out of a 1,200-acre Champagne vineyard by Sheik Zayed ibn Sultan of Abu Dhabi, a devout Muslim and teetotaler.
•Presumably Eleanor Guilfoyle Daley, wife for 38 years of the Chicago mayor and erstwhile Democratic kingmaker, drew on experience when she straightfacedly told a household-hints columnist that bowls of vinegar are the best air-clearers in stale, smoke-filled rooms.

Aqua? Dots... really
By dlacher on Nov 08, 2007
For what it's worth.
For what it's worth.
Not really all that hard to understand. Two solvents used in the manufacturing of plastics with similar characteristics, neither proven safe to ingest, being used in the manufacture of an item that is not intended to be ingested. Design calls for one solvent, manufacturer substitutes what is generally considered an equivalent. The only problem is that while neither is safe to ingest, one is known to be unsafe, and the item, while not intended to be ingested, actually is likely to be ingested. This is typical of the kind of disconnect when the design company is separate from the manufacturing company.

Do We Need More Helicopters?
In a fascinating essay written with his characteristic brio, Brink Lindsey argues that for all the well-deserved snickering directed at "helicopter parents," the real problem in our society is that we have too few of them.
Never mind the one percent vs. everyone else, Lindsay says; the real divide is between the 30 percent with a college education and the 70 percent without.
He points to the vast gulf in parenting between educated families–intact, and devoted to the intensive cultivation of their offspring–versus the more laissez-faire approach found in blue-collar and poor homes. This social polarization, he says, is strongly linked to income inequality, and in fact the two are mutually reinforcing. That poses big problems for policymakers–and for society.
What do you think, readers? Could we do with a little more helicopter parenting? Given their circumstances, can lower income Americans even begin to provide the kind of cultivation that middle-class parents do?

College Hockey:Late Goal Gives UVM Draw With BU
Goaltending Strong On Both Ends Of Ice
BURLINGTON, Vt. — The Vermont Catamounts and the Boston University Terriers skated to a 2-2 tie Saturday at Gutterson Fieldhouse, as Vermont freshman defenseman Evan Stoflet scored the game-tying goal on the power play midway through the third period.
That goal helped the Cats salvage one of their first three games of the season, all against nationally-ranked Hockey East powers.
"I don't think anyone in the locker room is real satisfied with a tie," said UVM head coach Kevin Sneddon. "We've done some great things, but we have a long way to go."
Vermont jumped out to a 1-0 lead 9:10 into the first period. Sophomore Jeff Corey slid a centering pass from the left wing to Vermont native Brady Leisenring. BU goaltender Sean Fields made a sliding save, and was out of position for the second shot. The speedy Scott Mifsud found the puck and put it into the net for his first goal of the season and 14th of his career.
Less than three minutes later, Boston University (1-0-1) evened the score. Seconds after Mifsud left the penalty box, freshman defenseman Kevin Schaeffer converted from in close. Schaeffer lifted the puck up and over Vermont goaltender Travis Russell's shoulder for the goal. Dan Spang and Frantisek Skladany recorded assists on the play.
Russell was on his game in the opening period, he made six saves. One of his best was on Kenny Magowan. Off a centering pass, Magowan ripped a shot that Russell barely got enough of with his glove.
Vermont took a 9-7 advantage in shots on goal into intermission.
Each team had opportunities to score in the second period but neither could take advantage. Midway through the period, Russell made a spectacular save on a rebound chance, from the slot, stacking his pads to thwart Skladany. Later in the period on a BU power play, Skladany again took a center pass and fired low to the stick side. Russell made the save.
"He's been outstanding, three games in a row," Sneddon said of his goaltender. "I'm afraid to even talk to him. Keep the coaches away from him. He's doing great, I'm real proud of him."
On a Vermont power play, Mifsud took a shot that went wide of the cage and caromed off the back boards. Corey, camped on the right side, tried to poke the puck home but Fields got over to make a sprawling save. On the same power play, senior captain Jeff Miles, crept in from the top of the circles and fired a howitzer that clanged off the crossbar.
The second period was filled with penalties, four for Vermont and five charged to BU.
Coming out of the locker room in the third, the Terriers put the pressure on Vermont and the Cats' sophomore netminder stayed strong, making a handful of saves to keep the contest knotted at 1-1.
BU broke the tie at the 7:00 mark. Eric Thomassian centered the puck from the right side. After a few whacks at the puck from down low, Magowan found the back of the net for a 2-1 lead.
Then came Stoflet's first career goal, which he rifled past Fields low to the stick side. Joey Gasparini and Tim Plant had the assists on the goal at 9:53 of the third.
With less than 4:00 remaining, Vermont had a chance with :43 of five-on-three power play, but could not generate a good scoring chance. Late in the game, sophomore assistant captain Jaime Sifers was sprung on a breakaway but to no avail as a late whistle for offsides blew.
BU controlled play in the third period and overtime but the Terriers could not solve Russell, who finished with 27 saves. Fields recorded 20 saves for the Terriers.
BU next travels to Providence to open its Hockey East schedule on Friday night. Vermont is back in action in an exhibition game against St. Francis-Xavier Sunday.

How Can I Determine Which "COM" Port Numbers Were Assigned to Each of the Physical Ports on My NI-Serial Card?
Hardware: Serial
Problem: I have one or more PCI or PXI Serial cards installed on a computer with Windows 2000. I can see all of the COM ports listed in MAX, but I can't tell which COM port corresponds to a particular physical port number on each of my cards. For example, I have a PXI-8420/8 and a PXI-8421/4, giving me a total of 14 COM ports (including the two that are built-in with the PXI controller). I don't want to have to use trial and error to figure out which of the connectors I should use if I want to communicate with COM3.
Solution: In most cases, COM port numbers will be assigned sequentially beginning with the first COM port number that is available. If you only had the PXI-8421/4, then port one on the board would most likely be COM3, and port 4 would be COM6. When you have multiple boards, it may be difficult to know for sure.
To find the mapping of physical ports to COM ports, open the Windows 2000 Device Manager. You can do this by right-clicking on My Computer (on the desktop), then going to Properties. Click on the Hardware tab, then choose Device Manager. There you should see a listing of the individual ports.

Casablanca and Grim Fandango
The similarities between the two are AMAZING.
Alot of characters from Grim in year two such as Chowchilla Charlie, the roulette keeper, the chief of police, etc. are inspired from characters in Casablanca.
The story is similar and Manny wears the exact same suit as Rick in Casablanca...
I can't even tell you how much the two resemble eachother. Just go see Casablanca!
A lot of us did. I enjoyed it very very much, but I don't know if I'd enjoy it if I didn't first fall in love with GF.
Casablanca is one of the movies on my list of movies I need to see. In fact I was watching all my Red Dwarf DVD's recently, one of the episodes from the fourth series is partly based off of Casablanca, and the ending is in fact a parody of Casablanca's ending.
"I'm no good at being noble, kid, but it's pretty obvious the problems of two blobs and a droid don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy cosmos."
At least, I think its Casablanca...
Yeah, I watched Casablanca after I'd played Grim Fandango, and I enjoyed it much more than I would have otherwise I think. XD Because this way, I was looking for little Grim Fandango similarities all the way through, it was fun.
i have yet to see casablanca, but this may just persuade me to do it sooner...
Fonts are the same too
The font on the DVD, and the font used on the game packaging are almost the same. Also, they use an actor's name (the name escapes me) as a character in the Casino.
I saw Casablanca recently and it was really funny to check the similarities between the movie and GF. And the movie itself is captivating, still actual.

Here comes the Fountaingrove District AVA (probably)
After a couple years of back-and-forth, the TTB has approved putting a petition for a new Fountaingrove District A.V.A. up for public comment.
I'm not big on most A.V.A. petitions in California, which seem silly to the point of meaningless, but in this case, I give it a qualified thumbs up. The new Fountaingrove appellation, if approved, will cover 38,000 acres—a little bigger than Knights Valley, a little smaller than Arroyo Grande Valley. It's in the eastern part of Sonoma County, stretching from the Russian River Valley, in the west, through Chalk Hill to the Sonoma-Napa line. If you've ever been there, you know this is hilly country; the elevations range from 400 feet to 2,200 feet.
According to the TTB (and I've been unable to find a map of the appellation, so I'm putting this together by reading the application), Fountaingrove District also touches the boundaries of Knights Valley, Calistoga, Diamond Mountain, Spring Mountain, Calistoga and Sonoma Valley. That makes it sound kind of sprawly. This is an area of Sonoma that's not well-traveled and in fact is rather remote; TTB says there are only 35 vineyards covering a mere 500 acres. The region would be characterized as a warm Region II, going by the U.C. Davis scale.
The reason I'm in favor is because the Fountaingrove name is a very old one, with a long winegrowing history. A utopian colony called Fountain Grove was established there in 1875. By 1880, there were at least 2,000 acres of grapes, and by 1900, the Fountain Grove Winery had been established. It survived Prohibition by producing grape juice.
In my 2005 book, A Wine Journey along the Russian River, I wrote: "In the 1930s, the old Fountaingrove Winery, north of Santa Rosa, grew some, or is said to have grown something called Pinot Noir." I got that information from the 1942 book, ABC of America's Wines, by Mary Frost Mabon, then the Food and Wine Editor for Harper's Bazaar (and one of the first serious female wine writers). She wrote, of Fountaingrove, that the winery was bought "in 1937…by…a gold-mining king [and] racehorse-breeder," proving that rich people bought into wine country lifestyle long before the present era. Concerning the Pinot Noir, Mary wrote (somewhat ambiguously) that "You will find the '35 [Fountaingrove] labeled 'Sonoma County Pinot Noir' under both the Schoonmaker and Colcombet labels." Yet in her review of it, she refers to it as "Fountaingrove Burgundy" and calls the '35 "one of the top wines of California…velvety, smooth, and well-finished, as they say, with much character, a good bouquet, and a dark color," although she also added that "it is a wine that matures very slowly and needs age."
I just wanna point out that this is good, clean wine language. The flowery stuff wasn't invented until my day, but Mary's description pretty much tells you all you need to know about that wine, doesn't it?
Anyway, speaking of Frank Schoonmaker, I have also his (and Tom Marvel's) 1941 book, American Wines, where they say "Fountaingrove's hillside vineyards at present include plantings of Pinot Noir which are among the largest in the state"; they call Fountaingrove "[one of] the important fine wine vineyards" in Sonoma County.
Whether that long-ago wine actually was Pinot Noir, or something else, we will never know. Julian Street, in his 1948 book, Wines, tasted a Fountaingrove "Pinot" and remarks, "…the Cabernet and Pinot Noir from this vineyard revealed them to be identical in color, bouquet, and flavor. They were fair wines, but the twinship was a little surprising." Well, that's the way it used to be done before Big Gummint moved in and made people tell the truth.
At any rate, even if the terroir wlll no doubt be further understood, the Fountaingrove name does have provenance in this part of Sonoma County, which is more than you can say about some of these appellations. I'd guess the petition will be approved, and one of these days there will be a Fountaingrove District, the hundredth-and-something. What they do with those 500 acres of grapes is anyone's guess, but good luck.
Is the drive toward ever-newer wines a form of OCD among critics?
The search for "the new" is the story of California. Whether it was the reinvention of the self, or the society, the Golden State always has lured those restless with the existing order, and anxious to replace it with something innovative and, they hope, better.
This reinvention reinvents itself constantly. Nowhere is it better reflected than in our cuisine, as Joyce Goldstein's book, Inside the California Food Revolution, makes abundantly clear. But we have to look no further than the current contretemps over what makes wine "balanced" to see it in another, and possibly ideological, form.
Joyce wrote her book to chronicle the rise of California cuisine, with its emphases on freshness, locality and seasonality, but she turns her eye also toward the evolution of California wine. "As California chefs began cooking more innovative food," she writes, citing names like Ridge, Chalone, Calera and Bonny Doon, "they began seeking more innovative wines."
By "more innovative wines," she meant wines that aspired to something greater than the jug 'burgundies," "sauternes" and "rhines" that dominated production up until that time (around the 1960s and 1970s). This surely was innovation which was needed; if California ever was to become a wine state (and it seems to have been destined to), it would have to turn more towards a European system of proper appellations and noble varieties.
It worked. But we also have to admit that there was much to be admired in those old wines, with their faux names. They were cheap, they were clean, they went well with food, and they were pretty good, if my memories of what I drank in the late 1970s (just as that era was trailing off) are correct, and I think they are. Those old jug wines were vin ordinaire that appealed to vast numbers of American consumers, and without them blazing the trail, the rise of the boutique winery would not have been possible. Far from condemning them, we ought to celebrate them.
Still, that period of innovation—the boutique winery era–was a good and necessary one. We come now to another period, which may prove to be more of a hiatus than a legitimate tipping point. It is characterized by a somewhat noisy cadre of wine writers, critics and restaurateurs critical of what they perceive as wines whose alcohol levels, fruit extraction and oak render them "unbalanced." Rather, this cadre says, wines should revert back to their original purpose, of being less assertive and more amenable to accompanying food, rather than dominating it.
Which sounds rather like the role the jug wines played in this country post-Prohibition through the 1970s. They were wines to be enjoyed as part of the overall experience of dining and socializing, not wines that demanded to be the diva-like stars of the table. Now, it's good that we have a movement that desires to see wine restored to its proper place in the hierarchy; but where the new critics have a bit of 'splaining to do is this: there is nothing particularly affordable about the wines they celebrate. Unlike the jug wines of the past, which anyone could afford, these new darlings of the School of Balance can be as pricey as the big, oaky varietal wines they decry.
It would make more sense for a critic to scream from the rooftops the virtues of under-$10 wines that could slake the thirst of a nation that's not as wealthy as it used to be. That would be one thing; I could jump onboard that train. Instead, the critics of the big California style are calling for a new elitism: of low-production wines, made by people they perceive to be personally interesting—wines with modest alcohol levels, and moreover made from grapes that in some cases aren't even fully ripe. This is the result of the increasingly strident call for "more innovative wines," which sometimes seem like it has more in common with obsessive-compulsive disorder than with providing us with wines of deliciousness. But then, every wine writer/critic also is a journalist, and journalism, in its essence, is the insatiable search for the new, the radical, the innovative, the undiscovered. That is the strength of good journalism: it prods a complacent culture onward. That also is the weakness of journalism that seeks simply to unearth whatever happens to be new that day, and disregards what is lasting. Innovation, for its own sake, is meaningless.
California cuisine and California wine: partners through life
It had been years since I dined at the Stanford Court Hotel, on top of Nob Hill, so I was looking forward to meeting some folks there last night—not for dinner, just for a few drinks. Still, I wanted to check out the restaurant menu. Reading—no, make that devouring—Joyce Goldstein's new book, Inside the California Food Revolution, I was curious to see how the menu had evolved from 20 years ago, when Fournou's Ovens, the hotel's grand restaurant, served what I recall as rather rich food, French-influenced, and heavy on the meat.
Alas, the menu has evolved, but not as I'd anticipated; as it turns out, there is no restaurant at the Stanford Court, just a rather plain bar menu (sandwiches, steak and such). I asked the concierge about that, and he replied, "New ownership—changing times." Indeed.
Which brings me back to Inside the California Food Revolution. The mark of a great book is that it gets you thinking. I loved the juxtaposition Joyce, and many of the chefs she interviewed, set up between the Los Angeles and San Francisco culinary scenes of twenty years ago. L.A. was "food as fashion," in Joyce's words, as well as "overdone, very over-manipulated…places to see and be seen," according to another restaurateur. By contrast, S.F. chefs were obsessed with purity, quality ingredients, seasonality and eclecticism.
The problem with appealing to fashion is that, quoting the former owner of a famous L.A. restaurant, Citrus, "the life of a restaurant is very short [in L.A.]..very trendy. You're good, you're busy, and then, when a new restaurant opens, say good-bye to your business."
Well, you can say that about any restaurant, to some extent (Daniel Patterson's Plum just closed in Oakland, after a run of several years), but San Francisco and the Bay Area seem more willing to bless a great place, like Boulevard, with longevity than L.A. is. There is, of course, a wine tie-in to all this: I have often wondered about the lifespan of some of these super-expensive California lifestyle wineries, which pop into existence (often in Napa Valley) with the alacrity of mushrooms after an autumn rain, only to disappear just as quickly. With a hired "name" winemaker, the brand enters the "you're busy" phase, which is quickly succeeded by the "good-bye" phase, unless the owner is so wealthy that he can afford to ride an ocean of red ink.
Still, there was one thing both the Southern and Northern California founders of the California cuisine revolution shared in common: a passionate ingenuity bordering on the naïve. As one of them told Joyce, "Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, a lot of chefs weren't [classically] trained. That was freeing. You weren't tied down to a set of rules and told, 'You have to go this way.' No, I don't, because I don't even know what the rules are."
It was that disregard for "the rules" that enabled chefs, including Joyce Goldstein, to do their own thing. They figured that, if they liked something, others would, too. There's a connection, I suspect, between that approach and the loss of Fournou's Ovens: the grand hotel restaurant, with its banquettes, snooty somms, heavily-sauced food and pontifical atmosphere, is no longer suited to today's dining needs, which are more casual. Joyce anticipated that at Square One, her own restaurant, when she opened it (after leaving Chez Panisse) in the mid-1980s. Today, I look at a place like Boulevard, which I think and hope will never close. It's as California-cuisine-y as you can get: the California Lamb Prime T-bone, "wood oven roasted, served off the bone, with zuckerman banana fingerling potatoes with fresh turmeric, aleppo & coriander sauteed bloomsdale spinach, thumbelina carrots, our cardamom orange blossom yogurt, huckleberry molasses, sicilian pistachio aillade, and roasted lamb jus" is a triumph of World ingredients, a happy concoction of elements no one would have conceived of before the California food revolution tore down the walls. Yet Boulevard is noisy, happy, relaxed and fun—all the elements I associate with California (and Northern California, especially). And when you think of it, that's what we want in wine, too, isn't it?
Review: Joyce Goldstein's new book on California cuisine
In the 1980s and early 1990s, I was a fairly frequent visitor to Square One, the restaurant Joyce Goldstein had opened, in 1984, in the Jackson Square neighborhood of downtown San Francisco.
There, I was treated like a regular, mainly through my acquaintance with the sommelier, Peter Granoff, whom I had met earlier when he'd served in the same capacity at the old Mark Hopkins Hotel. Well do I remember strolling into Square One on any given night, usually by myself after an evening of doing something else that had brought me to the area from my home in Noe Valley. I'd take a seat at the bar and order something off the chalkboard menu—a little pizza or focaccia, some fettucine, wood-fired grilled shrimp—while Peter surreptitiously brought me tasting sips of the most interesting wines of the evening. Peter also held regular wine tasting classes in a small room of the restaurant. It was there that I learned, more than anyplace else, about Condrieu, Cote Rotie, Spanish sherry and other wines to which I would otherwise have had little access.
These were not mere wine tastings. Peter's boss, Chef Joyce, provided delicious little plates to wash down the wine. One night, a blind tasting of Monterey County Chardonnays (Estancia, Morgan, Pinnacles, Talbott, Chalone, Wente and so on) was paired with a signature crab cake with mango salsa, and ginger-marinated pork loin on a bed of corn pudding.
That food was, of course, California cuisine, or what came eventually to be called California cuisine, although Joyce herself, after extensive research for her new book, Inside the California Food Revolution, writes that exactly who coined that phrase remains a mystery. Not mysterious at all, though, is what California cuisine means. Joyce Goldstein: "…restaurants broadened from formal and ceremonial to more democratic and casual. Kitchens that had been hidden were opened up to become part of the dining room. Chefs who had toiled behind closed doors in anonymity became stars. Ingredients such as arugula, baby greens, and goat cheese, virtually unknown previously, became household items…". California's fabulously diverse ethnic constitution, including Mediterranean, Asian and Latin American cultures, also became part of the mix that contributed to the new, complex combinations that constituted California cuisine, whose "one common element," Joyce writes, was "fresh, seasonal ingredients, preferably raised nearby."
I hadn't known Joyce had written this book until I ran into her son Evan, an old friend, at a wine tasting event. I'd told him how much I'd always longed for a formal history of California cuisine, which was restaurant-based long before it became a staple of home kitchens. Evan smiled and told me there was one: He arranged to have the publisher, University of California Press, send me Inside the California Food Revolution. If you've ever hankered for an insider's account of everything and everyone from Alice Waters and Chez Panisse to Wolfgang Puck, Jeremiah Tower, the French Laundry, Laura Chenel, Zuni Café and, yes, Joyce Goldstein (as insider as they get), this is the book. It recounts, in loving terms, what Mark Miller (Fourth Street Grill and Santa Fe Bar and Grill, both in Berkeley) describes as "California cuisine['s] revolutionary [nature], in terms of not only its fashion, its style, but also its culinary ethos."
The California food revolution cited in Joyce's title spilled over, of course, to the California wine revolution—or perhaps it's fairer to say that both were the result of the revolutionary attitude that always has characterized California. In the book, too, you will find references to Paul Draper and Ridge (whose wines Alice Waters celebrated early at Chez Panisse), Randall Grahm and Bonny Doon, Josh Jensen (Calera), Dick Graff (Chalone), Bob Long (Long Vineyards) and others. Interestingly, Joyce, in retrospective hindsight, goes back to this period to foreshadow wines "with overly hard tannins, too much oak, and in time, higher alcohol levels"—shades of today's ongoing debate. But that is another story.
Thinking of Tchelistcheff on the 20th anniversary of his death
Can it really have been 20 years since André Tchelistcheff died?
I met and interviewed the man they call The Maestro a couple times, in my guise as a reporter, although I can't claim to have known him well. His heavily Russian-inflected English could be hard to understand, especially on the phone, but he was unfailingly polite, in an Old World, almost Victorian way; more importantly, he was the foremost mentor to several generations of winemakers. It's amazing how often his name comes up in conversation even today.
To me, as an historian, André's greatest achievement was bringing a European sensibility of winemaking to the industry, at a time—the 1930s through the 1970s—when that's what was most needed. When he came, famously, to Beaulieu, in 1938, America still had its rear wheels stuck in the muck of Prohibition. What few Americans there were who actually drank wine had little besides ersatz "Sauternes," "Port," "Sherry," "Vermouth" and unidentifiable bottles with proprietary names, like Don Juan and Mission Bell, to choose from.
One of the best ways to appreciate a historical person's contributions is through the eyes of his contemporaries. Here, we're fortunate that Tchelistcheff's advent on the scene occurred at the same time as an explosion of wine books. (The two phenomena are not unrelated!) In 1948 the Chicago journalist Julian Street, in the second edition of his book "Wines," praised Beaulieu's George [sic] de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon—Tchelistcheff's crowning glory—as "stepping up into another class," while he called the Pinot Noir "among the best of its type." Pinot Noir was (I think it's fair to say) Tchelistcheff's own personal favorite variety, probably due to its challenge. He told the lawyer and amateur wine lover, Robert Benson (who quoted him in the latter's 1977 book, "Great Winemakers of California"), that he, Tchelistcheff, had produced only three "high standard" Pinot Noirs in 35 years: the 1946, 1947 and 1968, successes he deemed "accidental" although, of course, they were no accidents; but Tchelistcheff appears at that time not to have realized exactly what he had done right.
Eleven years after Street's little book, Alec Waugh (Evelyn's older brother) authored "In Praise of Wine," a book so dismissive of California wine that he relegated coverage of it to two pages in the appendix. Even so, Waugh managed to mention a handful of wineries he did "greatly enjoy," and Beaulieu was one of them. By 1973, when the founder of the Wine Institute, Leon Adams, wrote his influential "The Wines of America," he was able to state definitively that BV Private Reserve had become "the single most-praised and most-sought after American wine."
Why did experts like it so much? We can only begin to guess what Private Reserve tasted like young. Michael Broadbent sipped a 1941 Private Reserve (from a celebrated vintage) in 1972; the then 31-year old wine was "extremely rich…with [an] extended finish," and despite this rather abbreviated review, Broadbent awarded it 4 stars. But a few years later, he added a coveted fifth star to the 1946 Private Reserve, which Tchelistcheff himself had poured for him at a tasting; "the '46," Broadbent wrote, clearly in ecstasy, "was a great wine by any standards, perhaps Tchelistcheff's supreme masterpiece."
It was this accomplishment—the ability to make wine so good that even a confirmed Europhile like Broadbent would swoon in its presence—that was André's great contribution to California wine.
By the 1990s, well into his own Nineties, André's best days were behind him. He died in 1994, his intellect and humor intact. As Rod Smith reminds us (in "Private Reserve," published by Beaulieu in its centenary year, 2000): "Just before [Tchelistcheff] died, he exclaimed, 'We still don't know what kind of rootstock is right for Carneros!'"
It was that unflagging drive to know, to perfect, to achieve that marked André Tchelistcheff. He was among the first to understand that Napa Valley's temperature gradient between Carneros, in the south, and Calistoga, in the north, mandated the planting of different grape varieties—an axiom so fundamental to our knowledge of Napa Valley today that it's hard to fathom that it was not always known. His work with Pinot Noir has never yet been fully acknowledged. His background as a technologist showed in his never-ending experiments with different kinds of fermentation techniques, including the malolactic. Robert Mondavi, who loved him, has written (in "Harvests of Joy") how he "often turned to André for advice" after launching Robert Mondavi Winery, and paid The Maestro the supreme compliment of calling him "one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century American wine making." André also put his stamp on stylistic matters. His remark (to Benson) that "oak in the bottle is nothing else but seasoning" and accompanying criticism that "Some people overdo it [oak]" surely were prescient and have been echoed by latter-day aficiendos of balance.
André himself wrote what could perhaps be his epitaph, although he meant it as praise, not for himself, but for Benson's book: in its Preface, he called the book "full of depth, full of reflections of winemakers struggling to open the gates to tomorrow." Those words easily describe André Tchelistcheff's own triumphant struggle: if we now stand in tomorrow, it is because we have walked through the gates André opened for us what seems like just yesterday.
The critics, not committees, have classified California wine
In the Spring of 1969, Roy Andries de Groot, who turned to wine- and food-writing when he became blind, was sent to California by Esquire Magazine to write about the state's wines, on the 200th anniversary of Junipero Serra's planting of wine grapes in San Diego.
de Groot soon realized that what he really wanted to do was what he called his "immense project": "a Classification of American Wines," he called it, based on the sort of official hierarchy that had been developed by the French, in the famous 1855 Classification.
(de Groot also went on to classify the wines of the Pacific Northwest and New York State, hence his reference to "American Wines.")
As he notes in his 1982 masterwork, "The Wines of California," de Groot had pedigreed precedence for his audacious project. There not only had been the 1855 Classification, but, a century earlier, "in 1755, a first attempt had been made to rank the wines of Bordeaux," he wrote, followed by another in 1833. So the project was neither as audacious nor as radical as it might have appeared.
Here in California, others have attempted, from time to time, to classify the state's wines into quality tiers. Perhaps the most controversial has been Jim Laube's 1989 book, "California's Great Cabernets," in which the Wine Spectator writer rather self-consciously established five "Growths" (just like the 1855 Classification), which he populated with dozens of wineries functioning at that time. It was a worthy effort—but one doomed to failure, as California, unlike staid Bordeaux, was in the process (and still is today) of sprouting new wineries like mushrooms after an Autumn rain. When Laube wrote his book, for instance, there was no Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Dalla Valle, Verite, David Arthur, Jarvis, Araujo. The book was destined for obsolescence even before it was published. (It does, however, remain an interesting read and is important as an historical document.)
de Groot established, not five, but four tiers in his classification, although he did not numerically denote them but instead used the adjectives "Great," "Superb," "Noble" and "Fine," in descending order of quality. (The only wineries he put into the "Great" category were Heitz, Schramsberg and Stony Hill.) But, just as Laube's book of seven years later was condemned to early obsolescence, so was de Groot's, and for the same reason. As we look at his list today, we're struck, not only by the non-inclusion of so many wineries that simply didn't exist in 1982, but by others that were functioning at that time, but no longer are, or that continue to exist, but not at a very high level. The list, then, is sadly out of date, although like Laube's book, "The Wines of California" makes for good reading.
I doubt that any wine writer will ever again attempt such a hopeless task as classifying the wines of California! But then, in this modern era of, say, the last 30 years, the public doesn't need an official list. That task has been taken over, in practical effect, by critics. Can there be any question that California Cabernets and Bordeaux blends have been unofficially ranked already, through the reviews of Robert Parker, Wine Spectator and others? This ranking has the appearance of mathematical precision because it's based on scores of the 100-point system. Thus, in order to determine the placement of any winery in the critical classification, all you have to do is look up its scores over the years, and that will determine its position in the hierarchy. Before you object that this is a pretty flimsy basis, remember that the 1855 Classification itself—which we all hold so dear—was based in part on the prices the wines had historically fetched. Since today, price and score are irretrievably intertwined, it's not ludicrous to base a wine's placement by its score: the highest-scoring wines will generally be the most expensive (although the opposite is not always the case!).
There's one huge, qualitative difference, however, between an official classification, like that of 1855, and the unofficial one created by scores. The former can never change, or does so only agonizingly slowly (Mouton-Rothschild, originally a Second Growth, was not elevated to First Growth until 1973.) But the latter, unofficial classification is constantly morphing, as wineries come into and fall out of favor, reflected in their scores. The critical classification, then, has the advantage of a built-in resilience that makes it more adaptable to change and thus more descriptive of reality, as well as more useful. A critical classification can never become obsolete, by definition.
Where things get sticky, of course, is with the proliferation of critics. In 1855 the French had a single committee to make their classification. There was nobody to challenge it (although disgruntled proprietors always have complained about their placement). Twenty years ago we had only a tiny handful of critics to make their de facto classification, and few if any dared to challenge them. Today, everybody's a critic. This is why we have the phenomenon of multi-source rating compilers, like CellarTracker, where consumers can track reviews from multiple sources side by side for the same wine.
What I find fascinating about the new order, with its proliferation of voices and the coming of age of a younger generation, is how impervious to change the old perceived hierarchy remains. In Bordeaux the First Growths still rule. In California, the Harlans and Screaming Eagles remain at the top, although they may have had to allow some room for a few other aspirants. Something about wine—or, rather, the way we perceive it—is remarkably conservative. I wish I had a time machine and could see what the top wines are fifty years from now. For some reason, I doubt if I'd be surprised.

Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting today that police are still at a Maple Grove home searching for clues in the case of a teen who went missing over two decades ago from Osseo, Minn. Police investigators are searching the property located in the 9700 block of Hemlock Lane North in Maple Grove. They are looking for any evidence that might lead to the whereabouts of Amy Pagnac, a 13-year-old Minnesota teen who vanished in 1989. Susan Pagnac and Marshall Midden, the missing teen's mother and stepfather, still live at the residence. Onlookers say, Susan Pagnac was shocked that the police were at their home but hopes that they have new information regarding her daughter's disappearance, according to CBS News.
Amy Sue Pagnac disappeared from the Holiday Inn gas station in Osseo, police say. According to Marshall Midden, his stepdaughter disappeared after he entered the gas station to use the bathroom, leaving Amy Pagnac in the vehicle. When he returned, Amy had vanished.
Marshall Midden had taken Amy with him to visit the family's farm located in Isanti County. In the initial police investigation, the case was classified as a non-family abduction, according to The Charley Project. It was also speculated that Amy Pagnac had run away from home, as she had done one time in the past.
The case has not received much media attention since 1989. Maple Grove police investigators are not giving an exact motive for the search of the home but are hopeful that this new investigation will turn up some new leads.
Amy Sue Pagnac Missing Person's Timeline: On August 5, 1989, Amy Pagnac and her stepfather, Marshall Midden, leave their Maple Grove home to go on a short day trip to the family farm in Isanti County. Upon returning from the short trip, Marshall Madden stops at the Holiday Inn gas station to use the restroom. When he returns to the car, he does not see Amy. The police investigation turns up few leads, and the case goes cold for the next 25 years.
On Sunday, May 18, 2014, police arrive at the home of Marshall Midden and Sue Pagnac located in the 9700 block of Hemlock Lane North. They inform the news media and the community that the search has to do with the disappearance of Amy Sue Pagnac. Maple Grove Police do not give a motive for the search but indicate it will last for several days. Anyone with any information about the case should call Maple Grove Police at 612-494-6114 or 877-996-6222.
Marshall Midden-Susan Pagnac, Osseo, Minn.
Maple Grove Police are searching the home of Marshall Midden and Susan Pagnac. The police have not named the two individuals as suspects. They have also not released a motive for the property search.

This is a photo of Amy Sue Pagnac, the 13-year-old teen who vanished from a gas station in Osseo, Minn., 25 years ago. According to her stepfather, he ran inside the gas station to use the bathroom, but when he returned, Amy had disappeared.
Amy Sue Pagnac Found?
This is a digital photo of how Amy Pagnac would look today if she is found alive. Susan Pagnac is hopeful that the search being conducted on the property today will yield some clues as to what happened to her precious daughter all those years ago.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
TULANE HEAD COACH Rick Jones
"We just got behind too many too early. That is uncharacteristic of us. [Starting pitcher Brian] Bogusevic did not have his best stuff. Everything that Rice hit had eyes; they hit some balls good, but the balls that they didn't had eyes, and that's going to happen sometimes and they took advantage. I thought in the first four innings, they played great and we didn't play well. When that happens, the score is going to be what it was. The thing that I would say is that you saw our club come back. We brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh. I feel real confident in our club still and I know we'll be ready to play tomorrow."
[on struggling early]
"You never know how the game is going to go; that's why you play them. It is not characteristic of our club and we played a great Rice club. The better the competition, the better you're going to have to play. It seemed like everything we did was wrong; you have that happen a couple or three times a year even with a real good club. It just so happened to happen today."
[on getting into Rice's bullpen]
"On the bright side for us, we did get into their bullpen. We forced them to go to the guy at the end [Bobby Bell] that they certainly wouldn't have if the score had not been that way. That might be something we can look back on."
[on losing game one]
"That's why you play two-out-of-three. There's no guarantees. Again, tomorrow we'll see what happens.
TULANE STARTING PITCHER Brian Bogusevic
"They swung the bat and put the bat on the ball and found holes. It was very frustrating."
TULANE CENTER FIELDER Nathan Southard
"Rice jumped out early and put the pressure on us. We just didn't come back."
TULANE FIRST BASEMAN Micah Owings
"We just have to flush today. It's baseball; that's why you play two-of-three. We did not play our game today. It's frustrating, but we just have to get ready for tomorrow."
"Nothing is easy when you play a team that can swing the bat as well as they can. We feel fortunate to win, obviously, I thought our guys came out very aggressive with the bat and Greer held us in the game. Bobby Bell did the same thing he did last week in Baton Rouge, he came in and gave us a clutch performance."
[on Tulane's starting pitcher]
"He's throwing hard, we told our kids to be ready, a lot of his pitches are relatively the same speed. He covers the ball real well and it jumps on you if you're not ready, you're not going to hit."
"The wind blowing in really helped us. I couldn't keep the ball down in the beginning. Our offense helped out a lot, they scored three in the first and three in the second. It gave me a lot of confidence knowing we had a lead."
[on facing Bogusevic]
"We know how good he was coming in being the 24th player picked. I don't think we were intimidated by him today, we just went in and played. "
[on being the underdog in the Super Regional]
"Being the underdog here isn't going to change the way we play, we are going to go out and play our game plan."
[On Rice's Game Plan]
"We knew we had to jump out early and we didn't want to let them stay in the game and that was our plan. They are good hitters and they can get right back into a game at anytime like they did today."

College Hockey:Northeastern Search Continues
BOSTON — Northeastern's pool of potential new coaches has been reduced by two, when former Northeastern forwards Jim Madigan and Jay Heinbuck pulled themselves out of the running.
Madigan, a member of the Huskies' 1982 Frozen Four team, had reportedly been offered the position, but after wavering, decided to turn it down. He currently works in Northeastern's development office, and also works part time as a scout for the NHL's New York Islanders.
"I'm not in the mix," Madigan told the Boston Herald. "I'm happy where I am making contributions to the university through the development office and in engaging people with Northeastern University."
Heinbuck also skated for Northeastern in the '80s, then was an assistant coach for many years, most recently at St. Lawrence.
Bruce Crowder was recently let go as the team's head coach following nine years on the job.
There's a decided New York Islanders bent to the candidates. In addition to Madigan, Heinbuck is head of college scouting for the Islanders. And former Maine and Islanders assistant Greg Cronin, who now is the head coach for the Islanders' AHL affiliate in Bridgeport, Conn., is also in the running.
Long-time Boston College assistant Mike Cavanaugh, two-time ECAC Coach of the Year and Colgate assistant Stan Moore, former BU forward and current Massachusetts-Lowell assistant Ken Rausch, Brown head coach Roger Grillo, and Clarkson assistant coach Greg Drechsel were also among the prominent names mentioned as candidates in a report at USHR.com.

Oregon heads to Seattle for the 2009 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships Friday and Saturday at the Dempsey Indoor Facility. Competition begins at 12:30 p.m. on Friday with the women's weight throw and concludes that night at 6:55 p.m. with the pentathlon's 800 meters. Saturday, action begins at 11 a.m. with the heptathlon's 60 meter hurdles and wraps up at 3 p.m. with the women's 4x400 meter relay. For the second week in a row, the UO men are the nation's No. 1 team according to the latest USTFCCCA poll. The women check in at No. 3.
The Oregon men won their first MPSF title in 2008, while the women finished third. The men have a slew of competitors returning who scored in the 2008 meet, including 800 meters champion Andrew Wheating. The Ducks also got points in 2008 from Ashton Eaton (third, long jump/fourth, 60 meter hurdles), Kenny Klotz (third, 3,000 meters), Diego Mercado (fourth, 5,000 meters), A.J. O'Connell (fourth, high jump), Colin Witter-Tilton (fourth, pole vault), Danny Mercado (fifth, 5,000 meters), Chad Barlow (seventh, 400 meters), Jordan Stray (seventh, weight throw) and Vernell Warren (seventh, long jump). Additionally, the Ducks have Galen Rupp, the 2007 MPSF champion at 3,000 meters, back after redshirting the 2008 season to prepare for the Beijing Olympics.
On the women's side, the Ducks return 2008 MPSF 400 meter champion Keshia Baker and mile winner Alexandra Kosinski, as well as Melissa Gergel (second, pole vault), Zoe Buckman (second, 800 meters), Nicole Blood (third, mile), Zoe Nelson (fourth, 5,000 meters), Jamesha Youngblood (fifth, long jump), Erin Funkhouser (sixth, pentathlon), Megan Maloney (seventh, weight throw) and Mandy White (seventh, 60 meters).
A complete list of entries will be posted on www.gohuskies.com Thursday night.
For live results of the MPSF Championships, check http://gohuskies.cstv.com/sports/c-track/spec-rel/022608aaa.html. Final results will also be posted on www.goDucks.com.
The number of Oregon indoor records that have fallen in 2009 continues to rise. That tally stands at 14 entering the MPSF Championships. Every men's indoor record between 800 meters and 5,000 meters has fallen in 2009. That list includes Galen Rupp's American indoor 5,000 meter record of 13:18.12 that he ran Feb. 13 at Fayetteville. His time also set a collegiate record and broke Alberto Salazar's 1981 school record (13:22.6). Rupp also set the American collegiate record at 3,000 meters at the Reebok Indoor Championships in Boston, running 7:44.69.
Other records on the men's side include the 800 meters (Andrew Wheating, 1:47.03), mile (Matthew Centrowitz, 3:57.92), heptathlon (Ashton Eaton, 6,174 points) and distance medley relay (9:29.39). For the women, records have come in the 60 meters (Amber Purvis, 7.34), 200 meters (Purvis, 24.15), 400 meters (Keshia Baker, 53.38), 5,000 meters (Lindsey Scherf, 15:55.67), 60 meter hurdles (Brianne Theisen, 8.65), distance medley relay (11:05.08), long jump (Jamesha Youngblood, 20-9.25) and heptathlon (Theisen, 4,181). Also, current student athletes ran on the 2007 record-setting women's 4x400 meter relay team, (Leah Worthen, Baker).

Apollo Theatre
Graf-Adolph Platz,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Apollo Theatre in Dusseldorf was built in 1899 as the Variete-Theatre. UFA Cinema operated the Apollo from 1931 on.
The Apollo had 2800 seats and closed in 1959. During 1959-1963, it was used as a televison studio. The building was demolished in 1966.
Recent comments (view all 2 comments)
With the arrival of the Tonfilm, when sound was permanently added to the Motion Pictures, new modern theatres were built around Europe, UFA being at the forefront of doing so in Germany. Their older theaters got restyled to fit the new look, perhaps also to better accomodate large banners and displays. This one's facade was also completely overhauled, as can be seen from several postcard pictures that exist. The 'vintage' exterior view above is from the restyled version. The original was very baroque, designed by architect Herrman von Endt, and opened on December 16th, 1899.
There are also strange rivots (perhaps lightbulbs?) on the vertical spokes or ribs on the picture above. Perhaps to support larger displays.
In 1942 the building was destroyed by bombing, and rebuilt in '48 to open again in 1950.
The Filmmuseum in Düsseldorf has a nice maquette of the theater in its later form on display.
There still is an Apollo Varieté-theatre in Düsseldorf, under a freeway bridge (Apollo Platz 1), that appearently continues the original Apollo Varieté tradition.
Here is a postcard view of the original 1899 design by Herrman von Endt:

Here at Outblush, we believe that everyone could use a little more luxury in their lives. Whether or not we can afford it, that's another story. Here's a little luxury we're willing to splurge on. Yves Saint Laurent recently released a stunning new makeup item that's making us feel like a million bucks. YSL Gloss Volupte ($30) applies like a lipstick but has sheer coverage like a gloss. We like the ability to layer it for more intense color, and, of course, the designer name, dahlings.

Adding maultiple invitees at a time?
I do not use Gmail, Yahoo, or Facebook, I use an exchange server at my University, so it is hard to add invitees to my class group one email at a time. Is there an easier way to add groups of invitees from say an Outlook-like distribution list?

Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice
Get this recipe on the next page >>
I just bought a new oven (Rowenta Pro 9080) a few weeks back and the first thing I cooked with it is my favourite baked rice. The photo you see above is the baked rice freshly out of the oven, taken on my kitchen countertop.
More baked rice recipes:
As a kid, it was such a treat to eat baked rice at Swensen's and now as an adult, it is an even greater treat to be able to cook this at home – baked rice anytime I want, with unlimited variations (check out the links above). I love the end result – the taste of this recipe is quite close to Swensen's baked rice which I simply adore since young, thanks to CookBake Legacy whom I referenced and adapted the recipe from. If you are having a home party, bake this in disposable aluminium tray for fuss-free clean ups – this recipe can feed quite a few folks and so far, it has been a hit with my friends.

i love swensens' baked rice! i've just tried out your recipe and i used some pecorino cheese for pungency as well. the chicken cubes were a tad dry (i'll add cornstarch in the future) and add more soup next time, but overall, your recipe made for some yummy baked rice! :D
pecorino cheese? sounds good! I'll try it next time. Glad you like the recipe and thanks for sharing the tips :)
Hi! Thanks for your recipe! My friends loved it! Except I was a bit lost at how much rice and how much water to cook the rice in the rice cooker. (I am REALLY a noobcook) But nevertheless, the campbell soup was a sure winner. :) Thanks for the great photos and instructions! :up:
Hi gail, I'm glad it was a success hehe … Thanks for your kind words :)
Hi judging by the pics and the rave reviews I can't wait to try out your recipe. Just to check, your few tablespoons of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup is straight from the can or already diluted with water and cooked? Thanks!
I use it straight from the can, not necessary to dilute with water. Hope you like the baked rice when you try it out! :)
hi! i just tried your recipe today and it's great!!! :) especially so since im away from singapore, and it feels good to have warm comfort food in winter :D thanks for sharing! :D
Hi Chieh, glad to hear you like it! Nothing feels more comforting than a warm plate of home cooked food, especially when you're experiencing winter in another country. Thanks for your note! :-)
NICE Nice… making me hunry sio.. 8O

Soon to be released!
VIVIDSeats websites for Ticket Brokers! Powered by ATBS
TicketNetwork Private Label Announces Exclusive Agreement With ATBS

Exciting New Products Coming Soon!
We'll be releasing fantastic new products this year at TicketSummit! You won't want to miss this! Stop by our booth and see what we're going to be offering.
No Gimmicks or Contracts
You may have seen other ticket website providers offering a similar service as ATBS. They may even appear to offer lower prices. But there's a catch. By signing up with them you lock yourself into a term contract. This means you're committing yourself for 1 to 2 years to a company and you may not even like what you get. To make matters worse the month-to-month fee isn't cheap. It'll likely cost you more each month than your cell phone bill. There are no term contracts with ATBS and our monthly price has stayed the same for since 2004. We don't bait our customers in with low upfront costs only to charge high subscription cost and an additional fee for every update or upgrade.
Clients with Top SEO and PPC Rankings
Since our xml websites were just a concept on the drawing board, we knew that SEO capabilities would be a crucial function. With our websites, you have all the tools needed to rank high in search engines. The admin panel of our websites include all the tools you could possibly ever need to bring your SEO efforts into reality. Powerful and Easy to Use are basic requirements of our features when developed which means anyone with any type of experience can create SEO campaigns to reach the top of search engine listings and maximize Pay Per Click campaigns
Our Clients make Money
The concept is simple. As a service-based company, ATBS makes money when our customers make money. We know that the better services and products we offer to our customers the greater potential they will have to compete in today's increasingly global, cut-throat ticketing market.

Call your sales representative at TicketNetwork, TicketEvolution, TicketTechnology or EventInventory and just ask them what they have to say. Our websites are the best. Our service is second to none. Simply put, ATBS is the leading custom ticketing website provider. Everyone else is second-best.
Each Website is Unique
The web is full of cookie-cutter websites and for those who want to stand out from the crowd and earn actual income, this isn't an option. The similarity of these websites delivers killer blows to business owners as they are typically viewed as spam or black-hat websites and banned or dropped in search engine listings. One of the many things that sets ATBS apart from any other provider is the diversity and the capabilities for uniqueness that ATBS websites offer ticket brokers and TND Partners. With a few setting changes you can have a website so unique from any other ticket provider. We specialize in custom design and development so you can rest assured that your design can be as unique as you can imaine when we develop your new ticketing website
