2007 Brokenwood Wines Semillon ILR Reserve Hunter Valley
Producer: Brokenwood Wines
Style: White Wine
Grape Type: Semillon
Origin: Australia
Region: Hunter Valley
92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2012
Pale yellow. Pungent, highly perfumed aromas of candied fig, pear and lemon rind, with a suggestion of honey in the background. Smooth and seamless in texture, offering intense orchard and citrus fruit flavors that stain the palate. Closes with mounting spiciness and very good focus and persistence, leaving spice and bitter quinine notes behind. The 1999 version of this wine is just beginning to hit its stride, by the way, and should continue to age well for another decade, at a minimum.

With the final warm up match of the Super Eagles ending in a comfortable looking, if slightly flattering 3-1 Victory over North Korea, the Nigerian National team can at at last look forward to their daunting opening game against Argentina with cautious optimism.
The result will no doubt have gone some way towards assuaging some of the concerns of millions of Nigerians fans back home regarding the chances of the Super Eagles at the World cup, now barely a week away.
However, while there was some improvement, notably in the work ethic of most of the players, this win would have failed to convincingly address a few of the lingering concerns harboured by a preponderance of their fanatical supporters. As a good friend of mine always says, Nigerian teams are generally judged by two criteria by the Nigerian Public, the first being the ability to win games but perhaps most crucially by what he terms, "the Eye test". While I do not share this same view, particularly with the current generation of players who are less technically gifted than some of their more illustrious forbears, it remains true that the Nigerian side's more recent performances have left quite a bit to be desired on the aesthetic level.
On a purely functional level, Lars Lagerback seems to have made some improvements that have got the team believing again. While beating a team ranked 105th in the World is no great achievement, there have been some positive indications that the team may have turned a corner and things may be looking up. Lagerback's more scientific approach seems to have struck a chord with his players, increasing the internal competition within the team and providing an objective basis for the players to evaluate and improve on their personal performances. The results are already becoming apparent on the pitch with the players, including some of the erstwhile notoriously laid back ones applying themselves more assiduously. The only question now is whether these slightly perceptible enhancements will have come on time to make the desired impact against one of the teams with the most glittering array of superstars on the globe, when the two sides clash in a couple of days time.
So, did we learn anything new from watching the game against North Korea ? Precious little, but perhaps more of an indication as to the shape of the tactics and formation Lagerback is likely to employ. He seems to favour a 4-4-2 system, but is likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation in the first game against Argentina with Etuhu and Kaita providing defensive cover while Nsofor, Lukman and Odemwingie will offer the offensive options in midfield. In the event that the team finds itself behind however, this formation can quickly be transformed into a more offensive 4-4-2 formation. There might be a little variation on this, perhaps with Kaita given a man-marking job on Messi although Lagerback has come out to state that this won't be on the cards, but he may just be trying to keep some of his options close to his chest.
The aim will no doubt be to frustrate as much as possible in midfield and counter the expected 3-4-3 formation of the Argentines, restricting service from the experienced midfield duo of Juan Sebastian Veron and Javier Mascherano and forcing Messi deeper into the Argentine Midfield in search of the ball.
In theory this formation could succeed in stifling the free flowing style of the Argentines, particularly if the Eagles can also impose their slower tempo on the game, alternating this with intermittent bursts of pace. However, with the glut of talent on the Argentine side, no slip-ups can be entertained as the Albiceleste posess more than their fair share of clinical, predatory strikers to take advantage of any sloppy play in defence. This is perhaps, where the Eagles will have to be especially wary as the Eagles backline continues to look brittle and capable of being breached not only by the kind of creative wizardry that Argentina possesses in abundance but also by unforced errors from our notoriously error prone defenders.
On the injury front, it's no longer news that John Obi Mikel won't be able to make it but perhaps this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Mikel provided more fodder for his army of critics ( Your's truly included), who have always doubted his commitment to the National Cause by deciding not to take any risks with his club career at the cost of writing his name in the annals of football folklore by representing his Country with distinction. I say it might be a blessing in disguise, since Haruna Lukman who may have lost out on a starting berth against Argentina had Mikel still been on the team, will now be thrust right into the mix and has provided every indication that he is ready to take over the mantle left by Jay Jay Okocha by providing the creative spark so glaringly absent in the Super Eagles since Okocha quit the scene.
So, we all wait with bated breath for the outcome of Nigeria's game with Argentina on June 12th. A creditable result could serve as a watershed for this team struggling for the confidence of a people so long starved of success, a poor performance sound the death knell for a Nation's budding hopes, but whatever the result, Millions of Nigerians will be anxious to see whether this encounter could signal the rebirth of the Super Eagles legendary resilience and stomach for the battle.
I cant wait to watch this match, im not keeping my hopes high by expecting a win from the eagles, although i believe this team can put a smile on my face at the long run
Without a doubt,You're very good and i share most of your opinion.But truely,We're getting back what's been missin from eagles for a long time at a late time...team work.With that,we can defeat the Argies squarely but I think I'll be a draw,perhaps 2-2 because they must score.But you know it's been a longtime we scored 3(all strikers)in a game.I'm not a Yakubu fan but you can NEVER deny him that he's a player fr the BIG OCCASSION...In addition to all those fans favourite..osaze,shittu,obasi...and Martins coming in.It'll be a good game.Watch out for Lukman!We dont know what we have! Continue your goodwork****

Twenty-five years after the NASA shuttle explosion that took the lives of seven astronauts, the tragedy is still fresh in the minds of many.
On Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger cleared the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Fl., and powered into the morning sky. Just 73 seconds later the vessel exploded before the eyes of horrified onlookers. All seven crew members died in the explosion, including teacher Christa McAulliffe, who won a national competition to become the first teacher in space. School children around the country were watching in their classrooms as the tragedy unfolded.
"The teachers took us all outside. And we were all standing around, and we watched as the smoke plume went up in the sky," recalled Kari Anna Roy. "The teachers immediately just like swarmed everybody back into the classrooms."
Today there are 50 Challenger learning centers across the globe, where hundreds of thousands of children learn about space exploration.

Junk Sculpture in the Sky
The roar of the freight train drowned out the Hawaiian music Friday afternoon as artist Scott Pterodactyl gave me a ground-level tour of his new tree house that's under construction in a huge sycamore that towers above the backyard of a St. Claude Avenue double shotgun near Press Street.
Over the past few years Pterodactyl has achieved some renown in art circles for his ambitious, climbable junk sculptures, especially the brilliantly chaotic tree house on Esplanade Avenue near Highway I-10.
Take a video tour of Pterodactyl's Esplanade tree house here.
Pterodactyl admitted that he was a touch worried that guests to tonight's open house would be disappointed that so little progress had been made on the skeletal St. Claude structure mostly shrouded by leaves. After all, the ski lift-style gondola from the 1984 World's Fair, the motor boat, the huge satellite dish, most of the plastic playground equipment, and the "Nobodies" – transparent manikins made of packing tape -- had yet to be hoisted into the limbs.
As Pterodactyl performed an impromptu high wire act, sliding athletically along the cable connecting the sycamore to a nearby pecan tree, forty feet above the ground, I asked myself what so interests me about Mr. Pterodactyl and his band of anarchic tree house builders.
There's youth, of course. Everything about Pterodactyl's activities reminds me of my teenage self; unaware of practicality, law, or mortality. Pterodactyl is rock n' roll.
There's adventure. I mow the lawn and grow cantaloupes and oranges in my yard; Pterodactyl creates universes.
There's authenticity. Every art student promises himself that his creations will always be born of restless exploration and risk-taking, unburdened by commerce or other prosaic matters. Then life intrudes to shatter those ideals. Pterodactyl remains off the leash.
Read about a previous brush with authority here.
Wildness has its hazards, of course. As I watched Pterodactyl descent free-hand down the pecan tree, it dawned on me, once again, how completely unsafe his aerial sculptures are, for artist and audience alike. There are potential accidents everywhere, eager to occur. As I left, I asked Pterodactyl to be careful.

New Delhi: Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday rubbished all speculations that he would hang up his boots after reaching the landmark of 100 international centuries.
A news channel reported on Saturday that Tendulkar has sent an SMS to them, in which he has rubbished all his retirements reports as mere rumours.
After Rahul Dravid announced his retirement from Test cricket on Friday, speculation was rife that Tendulkar may follow suit after getting the elusive century in the Asia Cup that begins on Sunday.
The Mumbai batsman has had a relatively unproductive run of late according to the high standards he sets for himself. Resultantly, he has fallen to a lowly 29 in the ICC rankings for the ODI batsmen. His current ranking is just two positions higher than his lowest of 31 in December 1991.
Tendulkar first reached the summit of ODI rankings in February 1996; however, the scorer of 51 centuries in Test cricket and 48 in ODIs hasn't reached the three-figure mark since the World Cup won by India last year.
It's not that Tendulkar has been going through a bad patch, as he has gone past the half-century mark consistently. But it seems the milestone of 100th international century is playing on his mind right since the 91 he scored in the Oval Test against England in August 2011. The batting legend again came close to achieving the landmark in the Sydney Test against Australia in January this year, but fell short by 20 runs.
Former Indian captain Kapil Dev and former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan had said after India's twin disasters in England and Australia that Tendulkar should have retired after India's World Cup triumph last year.

Qualities of Recession Proof Jobs
|Email Print
Do you know what the top ten recession proof jobs are? According to Laurence Shatkin, author of150 Best Recession-Proof Jobs, they are:
- Computer systems analysts
- Network systems and data communications analysts
- Network and computer systems administrators
- Registered nurses
- Teachers, postsecondary
- Physical therapists
- Physicians and surgeons
- Dental hygienists
- Pharmacists
- Medical and health services managers
Unfortunately, the list itself is useless. It's useless because we're already in a recession. The people who are looking for jobs can't switch careers on a whim. The people who are working aren't going to quit their jobs for a "recession proof" job. In that respect, they're useless because you can't act on it. Fortunately, you can learn something from it.
What can we learn from this list? They are all jobs that are in high demand in industries that are crucial to our lives. With the exception of teachers, the rest are in either the information technology/computer systems fields or health/human systems fields. Those jobs are in support of systems that we all need in our daily lives. If you're sick and financially strapped, you cut other things before you stop going to a clinic. Most companies can't survive without their computer systems, so people go before the servers.
Another lesson? These are all specialized careers. You can't pull a random person off the street and expect them to competently perform any one of the ten jobs. When you have a limited supply of potential employees, the value of those employees goes up. If you're in retail, you're in trouble because anyone can fold shirts, flip burgers, or take an order at a register with minimal training.
If you're at a point where you can pick a career, try to pick one that will always be in demand and requires a more specialized skill-set because it will help ensure your future employment.{ 15 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

I feel like a birth mother on this one because the owner, Baltimore real estate agent extraordinaire, Ron Monk, has years of marketing behind his belt and really knows his stuff. He is a gem and a joy to work with.
Gosh, these are the fun types of clients I want to work with all the time. They keep me on me toes and give me professional leeway to make it happen for them. Full appreciation and getting paid for doing what you love to do – How good is that?
Always the Best Content Possible is My Motto
I have never really wanted to pigeon hole myself into one target market such as real estate or whatever cause I've written about so many markets and follow the same successful writing game plan and optimization criteria for each one.
That being said, it all starts with writing for PEOPLE, not search engines, and I immerse myself within every different type of market I write about. Trust me, I do my due diligence research so that I produce the very best content possible – Content that will reach the most people – and always written for people first, then optimized for search engines.
I consider myself somewhat of an armchair traveler at best and a creative journalist that not only cares, but loves to write about interesting and news worthy topics. And just so you know that when I write, my most heartfelt desire is to be genuinely helpful to people with good online information they can actually benefit from in their daily lives.
Online Fluffy Stuff
As a writer, online fluffy BS content holds absolutely no interest to me and quite frankly is a total bore to write. And like a lot of the fluff fodder you will find online, it doesn't contribute to people's lives in a way that matters or makes one blink of a difference in the big picture.
I want to be a contributor in this world with words that actually matter and speak to people, no matter how big or small and have found that what may appear like the small stuff can actually make the biggest difference and that's the stuff that I'm all about.
Hire Me Info
If you would like to hire me to write your website marketing copy then give me a call. I am a professional journalist/copywriter and very good at what I do. I am available for website page and ongoing original blog article content.
Although I don't like to outsource, I will if you are on a tight budget. I happen to have good writers on my team who can do the research and write. I then go back in and edit, format and optimize each and every page and article, utilizing my secret sauce for your online success. I can also train you or your staff/team writers how to follow my SEO and content topic authority building game plan.
My SEO content plan is a winning plan that includes great content and keyword/specific long tail search terms that you can actually get and own in the index for your specific target market. Let's go!!!

I don't know - it will be interesting to find out. If this causes major
breakage, please file a bug against kdebase-data and send an e-mail here.
If it does, the best way to fix it would be to ensure you have testing in
your sources.list and
$ apt-get install kdebase-data/testing
If it works, though, that would be nice to know, too.

Nine games. Nine games to save our Premier League dream. Nine games to get as many points as possible and keep our heads above the water. Nine games to avoid the depth back into the abyss.
Carling Cup Champions, tick.
Survival specialists?
It's a crazy life, being a Bluenose. We have nine games left in this campaign, and it's impossible to know how to approach this. We sit in the bottom three, but we aren't a terrible side, as we've proved. We are capable of good results and very good performances. We are also capable of self-destructing. Worse yet, we are capable of playing well and still losing. Rollercoaster isn't the word.
Passion, pain and pleasure is the name of an album released by an American music artist, but it may as well be used as the tagline for this season's review DVD. However, Bluenoses just want to know one thing: how will it end? How does this story end? Does it end with heroic performances and memories that last long in the memory? Or is this the start of another 'nearly' story, with 'nearly' men?
Nine games left, and here I'm going to take a look at each and look for reasons why we can do it. Reasons why we will survive. Reasons why our hope isn't misplaced.
Bolton (H) 2nd April
Cup foes, but will Blues be top of the class in a crunch clash? Even before the FA Cup encounter, Bluenoses were honestly admitting that they could stomach a defeat in the Cup if it guaranteed them a victory in the league against Bolton. That's how big this game is. With only 4 games left at St Andrews, this one has to be down as a win-at-all-costs encounter. Blues cannot afford another poor performance here, no way.
The tag-line for this game is 'Your Club Needs You', and it does. It needs the fans, it needs the management staff and it needs the players to turn up on the day.
A Blues team boosted with the return of several key players from injury, will win...just.
Blues win
Blackburn (A) 9th April
Tough. Blackburn are a team who can produce moments of great magic alongside performances befitting a club in the lower leagues of English football. WIth the chicken farmers in control, Blackburn have been making all the noises you'd expect from a top 6 side, but somehow, when you hear a small Lancashire club talking about signing Ronaldinho, something doesn't quite add up.
The honest truth is, from a Blues point of view, we can 'take' these. We can beat them. Blackburn are nothing special, and nothing extraordinary. They can be overcome and can be played round. They won't be beaten into submission, but if Blues dig in, and attack from the off, it's hard to see us being put out of the game. Blackburn are a rigid and organised side, and it will be down to the pace of Jerome and ingenuity of Alex Hleb if Blues are to find a way through Rovers.
Can we win? Yes. Will we? With the pressure on, Blues come out fighting.
Blues win
Sunderland (H) 16th April
Sunderland...Ah, old foes. They're an extremely talented side with youngsters throughout the team who can cause you problems. Steve Bruce has set up his side to soak up pressure and hit back with excellent pace and precision. Blues will have to be wary of Bruce's charges, but with only a few home games remaining, we're going to need something from the game.
You can see Blues going for it, full throttle, but you just get the feeling that Sunderland will stay in the game. Thye have developed into an excellent side, and they know how to recover from losing positions. The fact that Darren Bent has not been wholly missed since his departure is down to the tactical and decisive management of Bruce, and he'll know how to set his team up to get something from St Andrews.
Chelsea (A) 20th April
Win. Easy win...if only. Can we realistically get anything from Stamford Bridge? We'll try, and we'll set up for a point, but being realistic, this game won't decide our survival.
Blues lose
Liverpool (A) 23rd April
Liverpool away. Six months ago, you would've been very confident of getting something from this game. Now, you never know. Liverpool have been good generally under new (or is it old?) management, but they also show severe weaknesses at points. Their midfield, minus Gerrard, looks better than ever, but isn't fully solid. There are gaps that can be taken advantage of. Strangle Suarez (not literally!) and you have a great chance of keeping a clean sheet and shutting LIverpool out.
If we set up with the 4-5-1 formation we have played in recent times, we can cause an upset, and get a point, if not all three. The tracking of Raul Meireles will be key, but Liverpool will also need someone to watch the onrushing forays forward by Bowyer and Gardner. Blues to score at least once.
Wolves (H) 1st May
Big game. Very big game. Our record in Midlands derby games this term has been quite shocking, but we need to get it together for today. I have a lot of respect for Wolves, a team of honest grafters who fight until the very last minute. You have to respsect the job that MM has done at Molineux, but the loss of Kevin Doyle will mean that this Wolves side loses something important. Doyle's style of play is the epitomy of what Wolverhampton Wanderers represent. This will be a game low on quality, but high on passion, drama and tension. I don't expect there to be many goals, but you can't see this one ending in a stalemate. Someone will win, and you just have to hope that Blues can get the rub of the green. Jerome has a knack of scoring against Wolves, and let's hope he can do it again.
Blues win
Newcastle (A) 7th May
It's a tough place to go, but we're going at a good time. Having lost Andy Carroll, Newcatle have gone through a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, and if they're off colour on the day, Blues can take advantage. It's a tough place to go when the crowd is at their best, but if Blues can silence the crowd and gain a foothold on the game, we can be successful.
Newcastle have dangerous players when you look out wide, but a now seemingly, blunt attacking line-up means that they don't pose as much of a threat as they used to. Defend resolutely and set up to counter-attack, and Blues will create chances...but will we score?
Draw - Newcastle might not be able to attack, but that doesn't mean we will
Fulham (H) 15th May
Massive. Our last home game of the season and one we have to win. Fulham may need the points, but something tells you our need will be greater than theirs. Blues will no doubt be roared on by a big crowd at St Andrews, and with everyone behind them, can you see them losing? I can't.
Blues win - crucially.
Tottenham (A) 22nd May
A great side, but will they have a Champions League Final to look forward to? Okay, maybe not. But they are a terrific attacking unit, and if they need a win to guarantee a shot at fourth place, you can imagine them going out all guns blazing at the Lane. In all honesty, every Bluenose who saw the fixture list probably saw this game and thought " ****** **** ***** ***** ". It's a horrible place to go when you need something from the game, but Blues have to remember that even Wolves managed to win there, and if they could, why can't we?
Keep Lennon and Van Der Vaart quiet, and then Modric can still get you. Stop him, and watch out for Defoe. Simple. Oh wait...there's some guy called Crouch there too...
Blues lose
There you have it, that's my take on proceedings. 15 points. Too optimistic? Maybe, but you have to remember that this team CAN do this. We have seen that they are more than capable.
KRO. As Mr McLeish said, 'Your Club Needs You', so can a hero please step forward.
We are all waiting...and praying.

Scene 2011: Dimon, Mack, Krawcheck, Paulson, Paltrow, Bundchen
Scene Last Night met a lot of people at a lot of parties in 2011. Here are some of the personalities that entertained, intrigued and taught us something about giving back.
Sallie Krawcheck
She kicked off the New York social season at the Winter Antiques Show opening night, sponsored by U.S. Trust, a unit she oversaw at Bank of America. Not that she had time to look at antiques: She spent most of the evening greeting guests, standing near a display of furniture from her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
By autumn, she had left Bank of America and was going out with her husband to the opening nights of the New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall, where she serves on the board. At the Philharmonic, the program of Wagner and Strauss was "uplifting," she said.
"Where's Wagner when we need him," quipped another guest, J. Christopher Flowers, founder of J.C. Flowers & Co. "He'd get the euro zone whipped into shape."
John Paulson
The founder of hedge fund Paulson & Co. lost plenty of money this year. His party portfolio, on the other hand, expanded.
Among the black-tie benefits he attended were the Foreign Policy Association's annual Financial Services Dinner, a fete for Blenheim Palace in the company of its occupants and caretakers, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, and the Whitney Museum of American Art spring gala, which took place in a former bus depot.
Paulson and his wife, Jenny, seemed happiest at the autumn and spring galas for New York City Ballet, where the music of Katy Perry played as they shared the dance floor with Paul McCartney, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ed Norton and Steve Buscemi.
John Mack
Morgan Stanley's retiring chairman knows a gala doesn't tell a nonprofit's full story. So one morning he gave a tour of the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, which the firm's employees helped build.
We visited infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, spent a moment with a permanent resident, a Big Bird doll, and scanned walls of donor names. Why were Steven and Alexandra Cohen's printed larger?
"They gave more," Mack said. To be precise, he coaxed $50 million from the hedge-fund manager and his wife to create the Pediatric Emergency Department, which opened in the spring.
"One of the great things here are the iPads the kids can play on," Mack said, tentatively scribbling on one.
Jamie Dimon
The chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co. cut a handsome figure at the Museum of Modern Art's Party in the Garden but looked like a wallflower at the party his wife, Judy, threw for women's fashion designer Wes Gordon, filling their Upper East Side home with racks of clothes, models, a harpist and hors d'oeuvres by Olivier Cheng.
In fact Dimon kept a low profile on the party circuit, leaving his bank unit to make the splash: Chase sponsored the Black Eyed Peas concert in Central Park, which raised $4 million for the Robin Hood Foundation. And at the American Giving Awards, Chase Community Giving presented $2 million to five nonprofits, with Miley Cyrus and Colin Farrell on hand.
Evelyn Lauder
Lauder, who passed away in November, provided a charming moment at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation Hot Pink Party. Asked to fill a gap in the program, the nonprofit's founder and chairman went on stage and told a few jokes (including one about soliciting bids to get her to stop).
Not exactly a stand-up comedian, she was warm, passionate and effective as ever. In 18 years BCRF has given $360 million to 186 researchers in 13 countries.
Her experience building the Estee Lauder cosmetics empire came in handy: The sale of pink products ranging from diamonds to paper towels brought in $21 million last year. The next Hot Pink Party, on April 30, will be a tribute to Lauder, with help from Elton John and her husband, Leonard, now acting BCRF chairman.
Paul Tudor Jones
When this hedge-fund manager is at the party, you're going to have a good time doing good, most likely with some live music.
Lady Gaga came out in a luminescent egg-shaped chariot for a long set at the Robin Hood Foundation gala -- after Kid Rock had performed a new song in tribute to American veterans.
In Palm Beach, the dress code was jeans and cowboy hats for Kenny Chesney's gig at the Everglades Foundation gala. (Dave Matthews has that job in 2012, on Feb. 17, once again at the Breakers.)
As for which 2011 gala musician was his favorite? Jones seemed most enthusiastic when his daughter Caroline played at the inaugural benefit for the Dubin Breast Center. Dad was dancing in front of the stage, with mom, Sonia Jones, recording the performance on her white mobile phone.
Gary Cohn
You can count on the president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for a good yarn. At the gala for the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases, Cohn described an operation he had on his thumb. His doctor, Keith Raskin, explained that the injury was skier's thumb, a ligament tear from holding the ski pole when you fall.
Cohn falls?
"He's an expert skier," clarified his wife, Lisa Pevaroff-Cohn, a painter and jewelry designer. "Someone skied into him."
In any case, serving on the board of the New York University Langone Medical Center means good care for the Cohn family.
"I get calls from Vail," Raskin said.
Marcus Samuelsson
The chef has fashioned a fundraising mecca in the lower level of his Red Rooster. President Barack Obama was there for braised short ribs to support the Democratic National Committee. Halle Berry and Ron Perelman stopped by to raise money for the New York City Family Justice Center.
The dinner for Copland House, which owns the Westchester home where composer Aaron Copland lived and worked, featured those Obama short ribs, smoked Arctic char, and curried lobster, paired with music by Ellington, Gershwin, Fats Waller and others. When baritone James Martin, a magnetic Juilliard graduate, sang a Black spiritual, Samuelsson was one step closer to realizing his vision of a new Harlem Renaissance.
That made dessert -- caramelized white chocolate cake -- all the sweeter.
Gwyneth Paltrow
At the Bent on Learning benefit, Lydia Fenet of Christie's auctioned off a 21-day deep cleanse, a package with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson and a vegan dinner with artist Francesco Clemente. Honoree Gwyneth Paltrow also got in the game, offering two tickets to a performance of "Glee Live! In Concert!"
"Bring your kid, I'll send a car, and we'll go backstage," Paltrow said, helping sell the package for $10,000.
The actress, dressed in Alexander Wang, ended the evening giving hugs and autographs to Bent on Learning students, who learn yoga at their schools.
Gisele Bundchen
The supermodel ascended the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit gala behind SAC Capital Advisors LP's Steve Cohen. Bundchen also mingled with financiers at the Robin Hood gala, where the company included Goldman Sachs Group Inc. president and COO Gary Cohn, one of the few present who matched her height.
At the Harvard Club, she picked up a Global Environmental Citizen Award from Harvard Medical School's Center for Health and the Global Environment.
The busy face of Givenchy is a United Nations Environmental Ambassador, has an "eco-friendly" line of flip-flops and started a clean-water project in her hometown in Brazil.

by Julie Snyder You've brought a new life into the world. You probably spent your first few days in awe, amazed by everything from the tiny fingers to the soft chubby thighs.
Speaking of which, when you look down past your baby, is your body not quite how you remembered? Do you feel like a large, deflated balloon? It can be discouraging especially when you read about some celebrity who was prancing around in her size 0 jeans in just two weeks.
For at least a year, your body will probably be larger than it was pre-pregnancy. There is good news -- you will bounce back. Combining a healthy diet with exercise can be your magic bullet to getting fit after baby arrives.
Staying well-nourished
You're probably anxious to drop that extra baby weight, but a healthy diet these first weeks helps your body recover from pregnancy and childbirth.
If you eat healthfully and exercise moderately, you'll find that the extra weight takes care of itself. Are you familiar with a good postpartum diet? This list will help you make good food choices.
Whole grains: A serving is 1 slice of bread, 1/2 bagel, 1 ounce cereal, 1/2 cup brown rice or pasta. (Postpartum -- 6 servings; nursing -- 9 servings)
Low-fat dairy: A serving is 8 ounces low-fat milk, 1 1/2 ounces cheese, 2 ounces processed cheese, 1 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup ice cream. (Postpartum -- 2 servings; nursing moms -- 3 servings)
Fish, poultry, meat, eggs: A serving is 3 to 4 ounces fish, poultry, lean meat, 1 large egg, 2 medium eggs. (Postpartum -- 2 servings; nursing moms -- 2 servings)
Nuts, legumes: A serving is 1/4 cup nuts, 1/2 cup dried beans or peas, 2 tablespoons nut butter. (Postpartum -- 1 serving; nursing moms -- 2 servings)
Vegetables: A serving is 1 cup salad, 1/2 cup vegetable cooked or chopped, 1/4 cup vegetable juice. (Postpartum -- at least 4 servings; nursing moms -- at least 4 servings)
Fruits: A serving is 1 piece of fruit, 1/2 cup cooked fruit, 1/4 cup dried fruit, 3/4 cup fruit juice. (Postpartum -- 2 servings; nursing moms -- 3 servings)
Plant oils: A serving is 2 teaspoons (Postpartum -- 2 servings; nursing moms -- 2 servings)
Body mechanics for new moms
You lift baby up and down all day. Taking care of a new baby can wreak havoc with your lower back. You might find you're so focused on your new babe that you aren't paying attention to your own body.
Prevent back problems
Holding your baby: The best way to hold your newborn is in the center and close to your body. Infant carriers and slings protect your back and leave your hands free to do other things. Carrying your baby on your hip creates muscle imbalance and can lead to lower back problems.
Using your stroller: Before you buy a stroller, give it a test run. You should be able to walk comfortably with your elbows at a right angle and in good posture. Walks with baby help you get back in shape. You can practice belly breathing and Kegel exercises as you walk for extra toning.
Placing baby in the car seat: Bending and twisting from outside the car seems easiest, but isn't best for your back. Instead, hold your baby and get into the side of the car opposite your car seat. Turn your whole body towards the car seat and then position your baby safely.
Exercising with a new baby
The first few weeks after birthing your baby can be hectic. Even scheduling a shower seems a big accomplishment. Exercise can help you recover and help your body get back its pre-pregnancy proportions.
Get into a routine
You can start when your healthcare provider gives you the green light. "Be sensible and take it slowly," suggests Bonnie Berk, author of "Motherwell Maternity Fitness Plan." It takes most new moms 6 months to a year to return to their pre-pregnancy shape.
Walking: Start by walking with your baby for 15 minutes. Can you fit in two sessions? Eventually try to walk for at least 30 minutes or two 20 minute outings.
Tip for nursing moms: Nurse before your session and wear a supportive bra. Some moms find wearing two bras more comfortable. You may want to wash your nipples after exercising and before nursing. Some babies dislike the taste of sweat.
Mommy and me classes: These are designed just for moms and new babies and focus on a routine geared for your changing body. Network with other new moms!
Dance time! Dancing with your baby is another good weight bearing exercise. The movement and music may stimulate your baby's development and if nothing else, some moms find it lulls a fussy babe to sleep.
An exercise session should feel good and enhance your sense of well-being. If you experience pain or heavy bleeding, stop exercising and contact your health care provider.

Staten Island, N.Y. ---
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood — la te da — with the clean, crisp scent of fresh-cut grass and sparrows happily bathing in a flowing spring here in Sunnyside.
But, earlier today, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, especially for those who queued up today outside the Marine Corp. League, the rightful property owners of the spring. Several waited about an hour for the gate to be opened as Marine volunteers performed routine maintenance — mowing the lawn, cleaning up rubbish, etc. — of the spring environs.
Yes, the folks waiting on line definitely were not pleased for one reason or another. Not only did they have to wait to get their fill, but also because a handful of neighbors on Logan Avenue (where there's generally daily access to the spring from about noon to 6 p.m.) do not like the constant stream of people traffic on the block.
And, a little note on the "people traffic:" The spring attracts water-seekers from all over Staten Island. Having spent quite a bit of time there, I've met residents from Queens, New Jersey, the Bronx, Upstate — all over the place.
The people come for a variety of matters. They swear by the taste or quality of the water. They believe it has minerals that are beneficial to health. They love the idea of tapping directly into the earth, getting closer to Mother Nature. I met a guy from Jersey who found it ideal for aquariums, as he said the water doesn't yield much algae. Hmm, that might lead one to wonder what really is in that water for that to happen, but that's a story for another day.
In a nutshell, the people fill up spring water by the gallon, loading up cars and minivans as much as their vehicles allow — kind of an interesting phenomenon.
On the whole, I can say it's a pretty peaceful crowd — water lovers, nature lovers, holistic doo-ta-doos, a lot of people from some "Old Country" yonder and so on. I've never seen any ugly. Then again, I don't live there. And, I'm not a retired Marine that has to deal with the issue of crowds and such.
It has been said that the abusive few who take water from the spring double park, block driveways, leave behind garbage (hence the multiple plastic bags hanging on the fence that encourage visitors to dispose of trash properly), crank up car radios, get crazed when the gate is chained up during access hours — occasionally this happens, it is believed, at the hands of an angry neighbor — and curse out the Marine Corp. people for one reason or another.
A Staten Islander who waited for over 40 minutes today to fill several 5-gallon drums with water said, "We should respect each other. It belongs to everybody." He lamented the neighbors who called police repeatedly to issue parking summonses. He also criticized the Marine Corp. gentlemen for having inconsistent hours.
"We try to be nice to the community," says Al King, a supervisor at the League. "But people think they own (the spring.) The reality is that it's private property." And, the League's old timers do their best to accomodate everyone.
Gentle, ever-flowing spring water percolating from the ground...who would think it could be so controversial?

A lot of folks experience a "low carb flu" when they first get into the primal way of eating. It should wear off after a little bit. You might want to make sure you're getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night, too, just to help out.
One of the reasons I was looking to try the primal blueprint in the first place was because I often feel that I lack energy. It doesn't occur while I'm exercising, and in fact, I do usually get out to exercise every day. But for the rest of my day, I often feel very groggy.
I have been eating primal to the best of my ability for about a week now, keeping in mind that I am a college student with limited funds. So what have I been eating?
-Eggs (hard boiled and scrambled), chicken breast, spinach salads (w/ mushrooms, tomatoes, green pepper, broccoli, ranch dressing), burger (obviously without a bun), almonds (a daily snack), grapefruit, bananas, apples, green and white tea (decaf), bacon, sausage. Frankly, it has been delicious and I wouldn't mind continuing to eat this way at all. My one cheat (which I plan to remove eventually) is oatmeal--it's cheap and 100% whole grain. I'm certainly well under 100 g of carbohydrate per day.
I like this diet and think it has a strong theoretical foundation. But I was a little concerned with my energy level today, which seemed even lower than normal. I guess what was even more bothersome was the fact that the fatigue seemed subjectively more "physical." In the past, I would characterize my fatigue as primarily "mental" and due to the stresses of life (social and academic). The fatigue I experienced today just felt different and I can't rule out the possibility it was a consequence of the way I'm eating.
I am at a healthy body weight and am not trying to lose weight. Basically, my goal is to set a sustainable foundation for preventing disease when I'm older. I would also love to have more energy.
I guess my questions are . . .
-Is it normal to experience this when first going on a primal diet?
-Does a primal diet compromise your ability to compete athletically? Do you "need" carbs to compete at a high level?
-What are the best ways to increase your energy level? Because I feel like I've tried everything--I go to bed by 10:30, I don't drink soda or alcohol or coffee, I've done yoga, I exercise everyday, and I'm conscientious about my diet.
I just think the way felt today freaked me out a bit. It made me think, is this really a good way to eat (remember, we live in a society that constantly promotes the healthfulness of grains--and that's a difficult notion to shake when it's been ingrained--no pun intended). I never have been terribly unhealthy, so I don't want to screw my body up. Nonetheless, the Primal Blueprint does seem like a great program and I would like to give it a longer chance . . .
As a side note, I really want to move to a warmer climate. I hate winter. =/

That's what I am hoping for. If it's temporary, I can deal with it. That's why I'm going to give it a little longer. I'm still concerned with my low energy levels in general, though. It's hard for me to get my work done.
In the name of full disclosure, I personally think there are factors beyond diet that are in play. I'm not very happy with my social life right now (I'm socially anxious) and I'm nearing my graduation and not entirely sure what to do with my life. In other words, I'm under stress. I've always been a huge proponent of the mind's ability to affect the body.
the stress was sort of my first inclination.
the main thing, then, is to work on reducing stress in whatever ways you can. for anxiety, a "grounding" meditation is a good idea. just do a quick google and you'll find lots of resources.
good luck!
Thank you!
So it is fair to say, then, that chronically reduced energy levels are not a typical outcome of the primal diet? Because that would be a huge drawback. Again, the conventional wisdom is that you need carbs (and grains) for energy . . . people here would say that is indeed a mistaken assumption?
Welcome to the primal way of eating!
-Is it normal to experience this when first going on a primal diet?
Like Iskander said, "Low carb flu" is the most likely culprit. It can actually take the body 4+ weeks to fully adapt.
-Does a primal diet compromise your ability to compete athletically? Do you "need" carbs to compete at a high level?
The best answer I can give you is...it depends, but for the most part no. It mainly seems to vary depending on the nature of the athletic pursuit, in addition to some individual variations. Check out the "primal fitness" and "primal athlete" boards for discussion of this topic ad nauseum.
-What are the best ways to increase your energy level? Because I feel like I've tried everything--I go to bed by 10:30, I don't drink soda or alcohol or coffee, I've done yoga, I exercise everyday, and I'm conscientious about my diet.
Make sure you are eating enough fat! If you're not using added fats for food preparation, your diet looks like it could possibly be too lean. Also, what type of exercise are you doing?
As for your other stress, I would like to make a few non-primal suggestions. I'm assuming that you're 21 or so and getting ready to complete your undergraduate degree? I work as a university administrator, and it is likely that your school offers free career and psychological counseling - it couldn't hurt to check them out. If your university has a career services department, I guarantee that they see a ton of students with your exact problem. And social anxiety is something that often can be overcome with the help of therapy or support groups. Good luck!

Edit: I've also noticed a great improvement in mood after switching to primal. Could help with the stress and whatnot.

1. Everyone has some low energy days at first - your body is adapting itself to getting energy from fat instead of carbs and it's not very efficient at first. In the long term, more overall energy and more even energy throughout the day is to be expected.
2. It's not going to solve your shyness and social life, though I have found myself more sociable as I'm happier and less of a grumpy gus than before. Also, looking better is good for your social life at every level.
3. Do athletes need carbs, it depends on the person to some extent. Maybe they (you) do, but a LOT less than standard people eat. For a while, I had energy issues playing racquetball, I usually play singles for about 2 hrs. The second hour I really was dragging. Started eating a banana or similar right before game time and that was plenty, no need for a ton of carbs for sure. These days I'm not sure I even need the banana, but I'm not really worrying about it either way any more.
I think you'll definitely see an increase in energy, but as others have said, the key on a low carb/low grain diet is more, not less, fat. On other low carb programs, I had energy problems and now, with less carbs, I'm doing more than fine after a month of this. The only difference in my situation is more fat on this program. I also find far fewer cravings with the added fat which is awesome. I just don't think about food all day.
All good advice and you may want to get your vitamin D levels checked. Sufficient D3 can help with SAD symptoms (not saying you have any!), as well as being essential to a healthy immune system.As a side note, I really want to move to a warmer climate. I hate winter. =/

The London singer talks about breaking down on tour, her pet rabbit and how turning veggie fixed her OCD

Nash knows of what she speaks. In her late teens she waitressed in the Nando's near her home in Harrow, northwest London. A few months later, in June 2007, she thumped into the charts at No 2 with Foundations, her first proper single, a chatty, observational song that introduced the world to

It was clear that Ultrabook would be the new buzzword at CES this year, but we thought we might see a bit more variety out of the manufacturers. We take a look at the designs of the new machines.
