Underrated Grapes Series: Carignan
April 23, 2011
By Julia van der Vink
Carignan(e), is a grape that is usually either vehemently criticized or alternatively, just ignored. Presumed to have originated in the Aragon region of Spain, Carignan has established a diaspora within France, Italy, Algeria, California, Australia, and other parts of the new world. Gaining the humble reputation as a "workhorse" grape, Carignan is a late-ripening, warm-climate variety that is popular for its high yields. Carignan was, somewhat surprisingly, the most popularly planted grape in France during the 20th century, but it has recently been overtaken by Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvédre, and a host of other varieties that have since been deemed more "promising." Those who are familiar with Carignan might know it best as a blending agent, and most notably, as the base of many wines of Languedoc-Roussillon, (think Côteaux du Languedoc, Corbiéres, Fitou, and Côtes du Roussillon). However, as I have discovered over the past few weeks of hunting, Carignan is elusive in its pure varietal form.
As a wine, Carignan has been criticized for being "tough." Deep colored, rustic, and high in tannins and acidity, even Jancis Robinson has historically discounted many Carignan wines for their unripe flavors and allegedly characteristic "rank bitterness." Producing approximately four times as many hectoliters per hectare as a grape like Cabernet Sauvignon, many Carignan wines are fairly inexpensive, and frequently subjected to carbonic maceration to become more palatable. As a result, Carignan has acquired a sort of Nicolas Cage reputation; overly-gritty, low-budget, and with a road-kill haircut. However, to sum up this superfluous introduction, I will get to my point: Carignan is misunderstood.
It is necessary to begin with the disclaimer that not all Carignan is good. Quite simply, most new vine Carignan is bad. But despite the grape's indiscriminatingly harsh reputation, old vine Carignan can be excellent. With a structure similar to Syrah, Carignan has fresh acidity and a dry, herbal, spiciness. Furthermore, although Carignan does not display Syrah's obvious fruit, it couples delightfully sarcastic notes of cherry, with a broad mouthfeel, and a unique terroir-driven twang that plays on the palate. Carignan wines can additionally be characterized by their lingering finishes, capturing notes of leather, cigar, and earth.
When I had the opportunity to ask Randall Grahm what he thought about Carignan, he described it as a litmus test for wine drinkers. "It's like cilantro, or Cabernet Franc. Some love it, and some don't." Carignan certainly has more funk than your average Cabernet Sauvignon, and so it is clearly not for everybody. However as Randall says, "once you abandon the set of indicators that you might use to determine what wine ought to taste like, Carignan can be fantastic."
If you are looking for Carignan in blends, I would recommend wines from Languedoc-Roussillon, or Randall Grahm's 60% Carignan Bonny Doon Contra. However, although they have proven to be more difficult to find, I have enormously enjoyed Carignan in its varietal form. Some of the best old vine Carignan comes from the rustic Mediterranean corners of Sardinia, (I recently appreciated the 100% Carignan Rosso Jaunnisolu), and great Carignan is still grown in Priorat, just West of the grape's origin. Finally, in terms of pairings, Carignan is a great meat wine, especially with grilled sausage, lamb, or roast duck.
Ultimately, in light of Carignan's legacy of bad press, I felt the need protest on its behalf. Old vine Carignan is no brute. It can make brilliant wines that are edgy, and seductive, and if you give them a chance, they will dance with you. Therefore, whether you end up liking cilantro, or you don't, I hope you track down some Carignan, and give it an openhearted try.

While the New York City-based firm continues to focus on civil and business litigation, this acquisition will enable a broader range of service offerings and a deeper level of client support in both litigation and corporate practice.
Schwartz will advise Karlinsky LLC on governance and management, strategic planning and growth, and marketing and public relations.

Low Tech Combat takes a research and knowledge based approach to self defence.
This site is the perfect companion to your physical training. For self defence, perhaps it should actually take priority over physical training.
- This is a site for self defence thinkers
- Understanding violence will enable you to recognise it, avoid it, evade it or de-escalate it, before it gets physical
- Physical training should come, but after (or whilst) learning about Human Violence
The Purpose
This site contains a lot of detailed information and analysis from solid peer reviewed sources, statistics from real violent crimes and analysis of real attacks from news stories along with lessons we can learn from these.
There is nothing better to base ones training on than today's reality.
That is the goal of this site. To be THE resource for students and teachers to ensure their training is on the right path and to provide information not found anywhere else on the web to aid in ones own ongoing learning as we walk the path.
The evolution of combat sports such as Boxing, Muay Thai, Brasilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Wrestling, Judo and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is without precedent and represents a true renaissance in the evolution of interpersonal combat training methodologies. It is not any of these individually that are so special, all of the training methods from all of these systems can be applied together (in any system) thanks to todays interconnected world.
Combined with the latest Reality Based Self Defence (RBSD) training methods and knowledge of awareness, key indicators of likely attackers, de-escalation tactics and more, together covers the full spectrum of conflict one is likely to encounter on the streets or homes today.
This evolution, or renaissance, is followed closely at Low Tech Combat along with all other important happenings in the world of the martial arts and self protection community.
As Seen in Blitz Magazine
As published in Blitz Magazine, Australasia's biggest martial arts and self defence magazine in Vol. 23 No 5, Know Your ENEMY: The true stats on street assaults.
Who is Adam @ Low Tech Combat?
Hi, my name is Adam. I am interested in spreading the concept of Low Tech Combat. I have been practising martial arts and self protection since 1994. I began my journey with Rhee Taekwondo which I did for 5 years with Paul Corbett and achieved first degree black belt. From here I studied Hapkido for about four years under Geoff Booth. Through Geoff Booth, I was introduced to both Brasilian Jiu Jitsu and Ray Floro's Filipino system of edged and impact weapon defence.
In the future I intend to participate in some more good RBSD courses (I have already been to an ISR Matrix seminar which was excellent). My main reason for this is because I would like more exposure in dealing with the stages immediately prior to an encounter going physical and those initial moments after that. I would like to do at least one course or seminar per year.
What You Will NOT Find
You will find very little instruction on actual techniques such as how to defend a kick or onslaught of punches and things of that nature. That sort of information is very difficult to instruct over the medium of the internet and to be honest, there are far better people out there who specialize in each area of Low Tech Combat and they are in the best position to provide this training. You will find links and videos from the better training providers here at Low Tech Combat, so keep an eye out for them.
Low Tech Combat is about understanding Human Combative Behaviour, identifying, avoiding, de-escalating and countering violent attacks at the higher level rather than getting down into the weeds of techniques. Low Tech Combat aims to inform students of the overall martial way including the nature of violence, what attacks are most likely and how they are perpetrated, how the body reacts when in combat and the mentality behind various types of attacks and subjects of that nature.
Low Tech Combat can be looked at as fitting more of a strategic coaching role which can help you identify areas where you should be focusing on your training, then you go to a relevant and suitable training provider for that particular skill set that fits you.
The motto here at Low Tech Combat is Knowledge is Power.

- Understand the vast differences in the Alpha Male and the Predator
- Know the different goals of each
- Know how to avoid each
- Know how to de-escalate each (they both require two very different approaches)

Clearwater Florida
Friday, October 26, 2007 Winter is acting as an inspiration for others who have similar challenges. The bottle nose dolphin who lost her tail in a crab trap and was fitted with a prosthetic tail, is acting as a source of inspiration for humans in a similar situation.
The Clearwater Marine Aquarium has started a new program, where people who share similar disabilities with Winter can get VIP treatment with the dolphin, free of charge.
Katrina Simpkins, Alex Miller, Anthony Burruto and Melissa Stockwell visited with Winter Friday. They all use prosthetics.
"It's the same as mine and I was really, really, happy that she saw me with hers and mine and stuff like that," said Simpkins. "She's really beautiful."
"It's amazing how she can still swim and I can still walk," Burruto said.
Stockwell, who lost her leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq, said soldiers in the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization for severly injured veterans, are going to participate.
"They just put on her prosthetic tail and just to see her be able to move around with that it's pretty incredible," Stockwell said. "It's inspiring, I mean you get a prosthetic you can do anything."
Hanger, the company that developed and donated Winter's tail, said it's doing more than just providing inspiration.
The Hanger prosthetic expert said the technology developed for Winter's tails is helping some people with severe amputee cases walk again.
To sign up for the new program, call the Clearwater Marine Aquarium at (727) 441-1790

What instruments, tools, and methods do you use to study volcanoes?
The type of equipment and techniques we use to study volcanoes depends on the particular volcano topic we are investigating and on the experiment we are conducting. When specialized instruments are not available for a special study or for monitoring a specific type of activity, we design and build our own; for example the acoustic flow monitor (AFM) for detecting lahars and for studying flowing mixtures of water and rock debris under controlled conditions.
For studying and monitoring restless and erupting volcanoes, several onsite and remote methods are used to gather data that also help us answer four critical questions during a volcano emergency.
- For reconstructing a volcano's eruptive history so that we can identify the type of activity most likely to occur in the future as well as the areas around a volcano that are likely to be effected by future eruptions, we use many geologic mapping and dating strategies. These include:
- Identifying rock outcrops, formations, and features on the ground and identifying their exact location on detailed aerial photographs and topographic maps or in computerized geographic information systems (GIS).
- Collecting dozens to hundreds of volcanic rock and ash samples from sites located on or near the volcano and also tens of kilometers downwind or downstream, and then using laboratory techniques for determining their chemistry and mineral compositions.

Major Portfolios
You should decide early in the academic year if you would like to create a portfolio, both to work on it at a steady pace and to be among the most outstanding portfolios chosen for the "end of year" awards of $200.
An early start is also valuable since those participating will have an opportunity to receive some overview/training on various web options for creating a portfolio.
In contemplating this decision, it will help to look at some examples of what students have done at other colleges and universities with the portfolio concept. Note that most of these examples depict "program or major portfolios", and thus are both more elaborate, longitudinal across years of the undergraduate experience, and comprehensive in coverage of multiple classes, internships, and experiences.
An application is provided at the bottom of this page.
|Course Example
|Here is a brief mock-up of a portfolio for sustainable development. Obviously, your version would contain actual responses and observations, be much more thorough and include much more material
|Major/Cumulative Examples
St. Olaf College, Center for Integrative Studies
Specific Student Example:
This exhibits a profile for a student's major through multiple years and experiences at St. Olaf.
Good description of what your portfolio can do for you in the future
Another example of a students portfolio for an entire major
A good example of what a CC portfolio website might contain in the future
Scope of Contents
There are many theories, ideas and observations contained in each course comprising your major. In some way meaningful to you, these "threads" of each course need to be organized and summarized in your reflective portfolio. Thus, you might have as a centerpiece of your "home" page a table, diagram, drop-down menu, or tabs depicting each of the courses in your major, with the viewer's ability to click on any such course and be taken to a sub-page on the particulars of that course. The use of Adobe Contribute's templates (starter pages) will be very helpful with basic organization. Links within one course to key concepts in other courses will add value and demonstrate integrated learning and presentation. Use of links within these summaries can take the viewer both to other parts of your web site and to outside sources for definitions, articles, and insight. For example, explicit use of the "tragedy of the commons" phrase, defined by you, can then be linked to other parts of your material where the concept of "external costs" is used, and to the actual Garrett Hardin article from which the concept arouse. Many other links (to internal parts of your web site and external sites, documents, discussion) will enrich your learning and demonstrate the reflection you have invested in the course materials.
Your portfolio web site might also include:
- a link to your resume
- a link to a list of the courses embedded in your major/program (so the web site visitor can see where within the fulfillment of your undergraduate studies this course falls)
- links to some key articles and/or web sites in each course you consider "formative" in your learning and reflection for your major (full text when available)
- a periodic blog of informal thoughts/reflections on the material studied throughout the academic year, class experiences, and your evolving perceptions of the overall meaning of your evolving major
- Other materials you consider influential and are willing to include as "formative impacts" on your learning at CC.
Obtaining Assistance/Templates
You should spend an hour or two working with Adobe Contribute (a slimmed down version of Adobe Dreamweaver). These links and more (such as the Easy Web Page Creator) are available at: http://www.coloradocollege.edu/ats/HecoxAssignment.html
http://www.coloradocollege.edu/ats/instructables/contributecs3.htm (print for easy viewing – this will show you how to connect to your W: drive (where you will store your work) and how to access Contribute's starter pages). These resources and some exploration of options should give you the basic tools and get you started. In terms of assistance with Contribute, any of the ETS technical staff are experts and can help with Dreamweaver also. Adobe's website has how-to's and tutorial videos that will be very useful as you get started.
Troubleshooting and Help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Contribute/4.1/
To obtain a copy the software, you can use the 30-day free trial (available in the CAT lab from Weston Taylor) for the class and then have the option to buy Contribute later if you want to use it for future classes/majors. Otherwise, both Contribute and Dreamweaver are available to students in some of the campus computer labs. For Contribute, these include:
- Keck Lab (Armstrong 3rd Floor)
- Cornerstone Labs
- CAT Lab (Tutt Library)
- Kitten Lab (Tutt Library)
- PC's downstairs Tutt Library
- Barnes Lab 203
- Palmer 2
(check with the Help Desk in the basement of Tutt Library for Dreamweaver locations). Much of your learning about how you want to set up your web site will be trial and error. Explore other web sites to determine how to best organize your site's content – what will make the best sense to your reader?
Liz Kolbe (CC '08 Environmental Science) is available to assist you throughout the portfolio process. Though your technical questions will be better served at ETS and the Help Desk, Liz is available help students synthesize materials, edit text, review website functionality, and to discuss new ideas. She will hold blockly "food events" during which students can voice ideas/concerns/successes/troubles that she will relay to the EV faculty. Outside these meetings, Liz can be reached by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or phone (cell: 719-640-4917; office: 719-227-8145) to set up appointments, or stop by her office (3rd floor 1014 N. Weber. next to the Civic Engagement House).
Creation of a "learning portfolio" for your major requires that the final product be linked to your CC personal web site from the Environmental Science homepage. Thus, there will be a link from your personal site to a sub-site that is the entire contents of your portfolio. You also are required to grant permission for your major portfolio to be available to others at CC as an example of the portfolio concept.
The 10 most outstanding portfolios will be determined by EV Program faculty and staff during 8th block. There is not a rubric or grading scale. Sites that are well organized, show depth of thought, continual dedication, and creativity will be rewarded. Your site should be well-organized, contain insightful and creative content, easy to use, and visually appealing.

|Deformation-Free Form Error Measurements of Thin, Plane-Parallel Optics Floated on a Heavy Liquid
|April 01, 2010
|We describe a novel method for measuring the unconstrained flatness error of thin, plane parallel precision optics by floating them on high-density aqueous metatungstate solutions while measuring the flatness error with an interferometer. The support of the flat optics by the uniform hydrostatic pressure at the submerged face of the flat optic eliminates flatness errors caused by mounting forces. A small, well characterized flatness error results from the bending of the floating flat by the hydrostatic pressure gradient at the edges. An equation describing the bending of thin, flat plates floating on a liquid is derived, which can be used to correct the flatness measurements of arbitrarily shaped plates. The method can be used to measure flatness errors of both non-transparent and transparent parts, and it is illustrated with flatness measurements of photomask blanks and substrates for extreme ultraviolet lithography. The refractive index of a saturated aqueous lithium metatungstate solution was measured at 632.8 nm and was found to be close to the refractive indices of several low thermal expansion optical materials.

Look for meds containing dextromethorphan and guaifenesin, to help reduce coughing and thin mucus.
Shane Young
Take a decongestant with pseudoephedrine (e.g., Sudafed). The drug may make it hard to sleep; before bed, switch to an antihistamine with diphenhydramine (e.g., Benadryl), which will help you breathe and slumber.
Thayer Allyson Gowdy
For head or body aches, try acetaminophen (Tylenol) or an anti-inflammatory, like naproxen (Aleve), ibuprofen (Advil) or aspirin. Effectiveness varies from person to person, so see what works for you.

Definición de caesarean en inglés:
(also caesarian)
1 (US also cesarean) Of or effected by caesarean section: a caesarean delivery
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Opponents also draw attention to the risks of elective Cesarean delivery to the mother and fetus during the initial procedure and for later pregnancies.
- The risk for infection and other surgical complications appear to be greater in women undergoing repeat cesarean delivery compared to those who are successful with a vaginal birth after Cesarean delivery.
- A caveat for these experiments is that the ewes were given betamethasone approximately 40 hours before studying the lambs because during previous experiments preterm lambs did not breathe after Cesarean delivery.
2 (Caesarean) Of or connected with Julius Caesar or the Caesars: the Caesarean faction in the civil wars after 44 bc
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Some say the gesture was genuine, but others suspected it was but another instance of Caesarian politics, a carefully orchestrated event between he and Antony to reassure the mob that Caesar would not be king.
- He acquired and exercised a strong personal dominance, but this was soon threatened by the emergence of Octavian (the future Augustus), and the two locked in competition for the Caesarian leadership.
- Caesar's time, authoritatively printed in the calendar, has triumphed over the archaic oral proclamation of the kalends by the priesthood, just as the Caesarian style of politics has triumphed over the Republican.
A caesarean section: I had to have a caesarean [mass noun]: two sons both born by caesarean
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Sure doctors like money, but all Caesareans have risks.
- There are a lot of women who ask for Caesareans as they are scared of labour and feel surgery is a quicker way to go but the risks involved are higher than in natural birth.
- Researchers believe the long wait may lead to an increased number of procedures such as Caesarians being carried out when they are not really needed.

Testicular Cancer on Rise in U.S., Especially Among Hispanic Men
By Kathleen Doheny
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) -- The number of testicular cancer cases continues to climb slowly but steadily in the United States, according to new research.
While the cancer is still most common among white males, the greatest increase is among Hispanic men, according to Dr. Scott Eggener, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Chicago.
Eggener tracked the statistics on testicular cancer from 1992 through 2009, looking at data from a nationwide epidemiology database.
"The incidence of testicular cancer appears to be increasing very slowly but steadily among virtually all groups that we studied," he said. "The novel finding is that the most dramatic increase is in Hispanic men."
Eggener can't explain the increase. He is due to present his findings Monday at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association, in San Diego. The data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases supported the study.
Testicular cancer is known as a young man's cancer, as half of the cases affect men aged 20 to 34, according to the American Cancer Society. However, older men can also be affected.
This year, the American Cancer Society expects 7,920 new cases of testicular cancer in the United States. About 370 men are expected to die of it.
"It still remains an uncommon cancer," said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. He reviewed the new findings. "It's important that we become aware of the situation [of rising numbers of cases], but not become alarmed by it." Hispanic men, he noted, still have a lower rate of the cancer than do white men.
In his study, Eggener found that the incidence of testicular cancer rose from 1992 through 2009. In 1992, for instance, 5.7 of every 100,000 men had testicular cancer. By 2009, that number had risen to 6.8 men for every 100,000.
Hispanic men had the largest annual percentage increase. In 1992, four of every 100,000 Hispanic men were affected. By 2009, it was 6.3 men of every 100,000, the investigators found.

1.0 OverviewThis outing is an overnight autumn climb of Black Mountain. At 2,836 feet, Black Mountain is not large, but it rises steeply from the Connecticut River valley to a rocky summit, so in fall conditions it provides plenty of challenge. The approach over the Chippewa trail is quite steep in places, and it may present a few difficulties. Depending on the weather there could be ice on the trail and on rocky slopes. This trip is an excellent mountain backpacking trip for motivated scouts of all abilities.
This outing provides an opportunity for Scouts working on second class to complete the 5-mile hike requirement.
2.0 Concept
2.1 DescriptionWe will approach by the Chippewa (Haverhill Heritage) Trail, starting at the trailhead on Limekiln Road. The trail is about two miles, crossing bodies of water (the beaver ponds), and several very steep slopes. October can bring cold conditions, so we should be prepared for cold and possibly wet weather conditions. The Chippewa Trail briefly follows a woods road before starting the ascent. The trail then goes through a spruce forest and then lastly over a section of bare rock. Depending on time and interest, there are several interesting things to do at the summit. We could make an excursion to Tipping Rock or check out the rocky south ridge, and do map work.
2.2 Schedule of EventsSaturday, 20Oct12
1100--Meet at the recreation center. Rigorous gear check.
1200--Arrive at trailhead.
1215--Start on trail 1330--Lunch on trail.

1615--Unpack and set up camp.
1645--Training activities and exploration.
1900--Evening activities.
Sunday, 21Oct12
0730--Wake up.
0900--Break camp. Police and pickup.
1130--Arrive at trailhead (Limekiln Rd).
1230--Arrive Hanover (Community Center).
2.3 Expected Conditions and DifficultyThe weather conditions could be cold and wet, and proper clothing will be essential. Be prepared for the wet-cold-windy environment. Ther is no water available at the immediate campsite. There is, however, an old well just off trail a few hundred yards to the south of the summit where water is available. There is also a summit bog to the north of the campsite that may also have water. Both of these sources will require purification. The campsite is well protected from the weather by being off the summit and in the woods.
2.4 Special RequirementsOpen to all Scouts, Scouters, and parents. There are no skill prerequisites for this outing.

Krueger: Sequester Cuts Hurting Key Research
Across-the-board cuts in federal spending have not only damped short-term economic growth but also threaten long-term investments that could provide a boon in the future, the White House chief economist said Tuesday.
Alan Krueger, the departing chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, warned the cuts, known as the "sequester," are harming important federally-funded research and development that can eventually lead to new technologies that drive the economy.

Mr. Krueger said the popularity of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, drilling techniques that are now "powering the economy," stem from private-sector research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy in the 1970s.
"That's the kind of research that I think is going to be sacrificed because of the sequester," Mr. Krueger said, speaking at The Wall Street Journal CFO Network conference in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Krueger, who plans to soon return to Princeton University, said U.S. economy was on track to grow at a rate of about 3% had policymakers found a way to replace the sequester with smarter cuts. That's higher than the 2.4% growth rate reported during the first quarter.
The government is absorbing $85 billion in sequester cuts that began in March. President Obama has unsuccessfully urged Congress to replace the cuts with other, less-painful deficit-reduction measures.

The Terrebonne Parish Council is expected to approve a grant to build an affordable housing complex in Houma for people with disabilities.
The Community Development Block Grant agreement, if approved on Monday, will involve loaning the Start Corp. $800,000 to hire contractors to build Magnolia Lofts, an eight-unit, two-story apartment complex designed specifically for people with either mental or physical disabilities.
The Courier reports each unit will have a 30-year, no-interest mortgage that will be repaid to the parish over time.
Occupants will be required to pay a portion of what they earn each month based on their income. However, costs will not exceed 30 percent of their gross income.

The producer behind the popular 2010 "Facebook movie," "The Social Network," was already attached to produce Sony's film adaptation of Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography, and now that film's Oscar-winning screenwriter is attached as well.
Aaron Sorkin, who took home his first Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award for writing the Scott Rudin-produced film about Facebook's origins, has signed to adapt Steve Jobs, once again for Rudin, the Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.
Sorkin, best known for creating The West Wing, also co-wrote last year's "Moneyball" movie.
The project is not to be confused with the film in which Ashton Kutcher is playing Jobs; that is an independent film that is not based on Isaacson's authorized biography. Casting has not been announced for the Sorkin-penned movie.
