It wasn't until my 35th birthday that I ever got a professional shave. Shaving for men is odd. Most of us do it every day, but we always do it ourselves. We were typically taught by our fathers, them by their fathers, etc.
In a world of electric razors and 5 bladed disposable monstrosities that have more technology in them than the average space shuttle, I never understood why men in the 40s and 50s (and some still) would go to barber shops and get a professional shave. In fact, after seeing Sweeney Todd, it seems like the danger of having someone hold a straight razor to your throat was higher than the potential benefit. I was still curious though, why was it so popular when you could buy the tools to shave at home?
Well, on my recent 35th birthday, my wife sent me to find out as part of my present. I went to Starks Barber Company and got their hot lather shave.
All I can say is WOW! Take a look at Ann-Marrie, the barber that did my shave, in her video on YouTube where she demonstrates a hot lather shave.
All of the sudden, I get the 40s and 50s. I get barber shops and professional shaves. I don't know if I'd go on a weekly basis, but it was remarkably relaxing and calming. I enjoyed it greatly. It was like a spa day. I was a bit nervous about the shave at the start, but within moments Ann-Marrie made me so calm that I didn't have any trouble with it.
Words can't really describe the experience – it was luxurious, decadent, and absolutely lovely. While I'm not certain I'd do it weekly, I will do it again. I recommend trying it once in your life, it's quite an experience!

Greeley's Homestead Park, on 29th Street west of 35th Avenue, will be closed for construction starting Monday.
The park will get a new playground, an outdoor classroom, shelters, concrete walkways and landscaping, according to a news release.
Olsson Associates, an engineering and design firm with an office in Golden, will design and develop the park with an emphasis on "natural play," including structures like stone climbers, log tunnels, observation decks over cattails and ponds, and picnic areas with native grasses, according to the company's website.
Formerly the Elks Club Golf Course, the park's 32 acres of land were deeded to Greeley in 2002 with the development of Elks Lake Shopping Center.
The park will also get some new trees through a $6,000 grant awarded by the Xcel Energy Foundation and Colorado Tree Coalition, which will place 52 trees in Homestead Park and other open space areas this year.
Goodland Construction Inc. will do the construction, which starts Monday and is expected to last through Aug. 15.
For more information, call Sarah Boyd, Greeley parks planner, at (970) 336-4180.

Crews from several agencies tackled and contained a grass fire that threatened several homes north of Madras Wednesday afternoon.
Jefferson County Fire District No. 1 officials said the call came in around 1:30 p.m. of the fire off Meadowlark Lane, between highways 26 and 97,, officials said.
The fire spread south through junipers, sagebrush and dried grass as the county called in mutual-aid crews from Warm Springs Fire and Safety, Crooked River Ranch, Crook County Rural Fire District and the BLM. Sheriff's deputies also responded to assist with traffic control and other needs.
The fire was stopped at Miller Lane, having burned about seven acres before it was contained and lined, according to the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.
With mop-up under way, the cause of the fire was under investigation, although there were reports it might have started from a burn barrel.
We'll have more details as available and on NewsChannel 21 at Five and Six.

According to Todd "The official bout agreement isn't signed yet"
DuBoef said Gamboa had agreed to the Rios fight and that he has an ample paperwork trail to back it up, even though the official bout agreement isn't signed yet. (It's standard practice in boxing for a formal bout agreement to go unsigned until well into a promotion.)
My question is, how can Gamboa get in trouble for something that doesn't have any ink on it yet? I think this is TR's fault for getting verbal agreements and charging for venues that they haven't even established.
Though I'm not excusing Gamboa, the promotional company has to act as the "grown up" and take the process more seriously and professionally.

If he hasn't signed anything concrete, then he's free to make other plans. I still don't agree with leaving Rios and everyone else in the dark about it, but if Mayweather contacted him last minute then fair enough.
Nothing Bob can do about this if he hasn't signed.

Certainly blame on Top Rank for not dotting the i's or crossing their t's.
It is a risky fight and they have to know Gamboa is out there talking to people, so really even if people want this fight it seems more like it is a Top Rank game than anything they actually cared about (it always seemed like an odd fight), if you can't get someone on the page do everything you can to make them look bad~

Gamboa wants big money. He's not even a superstar yet but he wants big money. Boxing is fvcked up because of these kinds of boxers.
Let's see if Mayweather can give him the kind of money he wants.

What are they doing w/ him? Having his talents whittle away. His resume would be great if he was 23 and moving along just fine, racking up good wins, but he's just inactive and the best they could do is have him move up two weight classes against Rios, after a half a year lay off.
Caba was available and decent $, they dropped the ball on the JuanMa fight that could have really put him over the top in terms of appeal and fan base. Why isn't he fighting in Florida, to bring out that Cuban crowd? His entire career just hasn't made much sense and now he barely fights.
Mayweather can't offer him sh*t really. He just leeches off of GBP, but at least he'll be on a PPV card w/ Mayweather and get better fights perhaps. GBP have no problem having their fighters step up.
I still want the Gamboa/Rios fight since I think Gamboa can win it, but I think he has second thoughts on how his career has gone.

I got a gig reviewing games for a website. I'm not going to stop blogging here because frankly, most of the blogs I come up with are my thoughts that no website in their right mind would ever publish (yet strangely 1up sometimes will feature). It just means I'm getting a lot of free games and will be taking a page from Cary Woodham. So every month, I'll post all the games I reviewed in between these blogs. It's on two different sites, one for downloadable and one for retail games, so I'll post the links for both and a short description if you don't think it's worth the bandwith. But here's what I've been reviewing.
This was the first game I got to review. It was the worst game I have played all year. Off to a great start! It pits dinosaurs against humans in a multiplayer shooter which sounds like an amazing idea that should have been done the second XBL was created, the problem is this game feels so archaic it might has well have been made before XBL existed.
This game was a pleasant surprise. I always thought of Giana Sisters as that Super Mario Bros rip off, but thanks to a Kickstarter, Twisted Dreams was born, a very original, colorful and fun 2.5D platformer. Right now it's only on PC, but it's supposed to be released onto XBL and PSN soon enough so keep an eye out for it.
I've never played a Silent Hill game before, so that this was nothing like the regular games did not bother me. It was a fun, but forgettable game. Recommended if you want something to play on your Vita and will last a good amount of time, but nothing special.
Halo 4
No, I didn't get to review this game. But I just beat it an hour ago and it did not disappoint, so I thought I'd give a mini review. It was not what I expected it to be, as 343 made it feel more like the beginning to their own trilogy rather than a reboot of the Halo series and the story was much more self contained than every other Halo games. I still loved it for what it is though and thought they did a great job taking on the series. I'm very excited for Halo 5 and see them build on its strenghts and missteps. Weapons also feel much more powerful and solid now while still feeling like Halo and the graphics make Halo 4 the first in the series to be one of the best looking games out there. One of my favorite games this year.


text: I was not surprised when I heard the statistics about higher divorce rates among couples who have children with autism. The stress that accompanies a child's special needs is challenging. Hubster and I are celebrating our seventh anniversary this month. I certainly wouldn't call us marriage experts after seven years, but I would say that we have weathered an enormous amount of stress in those seven years and we are now stronger than ever. I think our marriage has hit its stride this past year after enduring many ups and downs.

The season is almost over. No more shootouts.
The Top Line
A few teams locked up their playoff positions last night. Which is good, because I always hate it when you try to schedule stuff at the last minute. ESPN, NBC, Yahoo, Sporting News
Chicago 3, Montreal 2 (OT) – Nobody for the Blackhawks is healthy, so it's pretty impressive that they can still beat playoff teams.
Pittsburgh 4, Detroit 3 (SO) – Just because the Red Wings picked up their loser point, they clinched a playoff spot. ASAS
Columbus 3, Dallas 1 – The Blue Jackets just defeated the Stars and Coyotes on consecutive games. That really helps the playoff process.
Calgary 4, Los Angeles 3 (SO) – What a nice door prize for the Flames this year. ASAS
Anaheim 5, San Jose 2 – The Ducks took down the Sharks and clinched the top spot in the Pacific.

Richard Florida
Author of The Rise of the Creative Class and Who's Your City?
Richard Florida? Email us Give Us a Call
Richard Florida's seminal work, The Rise of the Creative Class, enthralled academic circles and electrified the real world of business. His prescient insight has shown the world the impact of creativity on the global economy. Esquire named Florida one of the best and brightest, Fast Company dubbed him an "intellectual rock star," and MIT Technology Review and GDI named him one of the world's most influential thinkers. Florida has established himself as a much-sought after speaker in the areas of economic competitiveness, demographic trends, regional development and cultural and commercial innovation.
Florida's ideas on the "creative class" and on cities have been featured in major ad campaigns including BMW and are being used globally to change the way companies and regions compete in the creative age. The Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, Florida is on the cutting-edge of research and innovation that drives the 21st century world economy. He is also a member of the Global Agenda Council on the Creative Economy, World Economic Forum.
Opportunities and Challenges of the Creative Economy
Combining in-depth analysis, cutting-edge trends, and compelling personal stories, Richard Florida presents his insights into how creativity and the emergent Creative Class are revolutionizing cities and the global economy. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that are transforming virtually every aspect of our lives—from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how the very same underlying force—the clustering of talented people, economic assets and innovation that propels our economy—is also leading to growing inequality and class divides for cities and nations. The key to overcoming these challenges and to future progress, he tells us, is to tap and harness the full creativity of each and very human being. In doing so, he unveils the underlying keys to building great cities that power prosperity and can lead us to happier more fulfilling lives.
Creative Class Communities: City, Regional, and Global Economic Growth
No longer are cities competing with neighboring cities, rather mega regions are competing globally. Focusing on city, regional, and global economic growth, Richard Florida shares the knowledge that gives community leaders the tools they need to generate greater economic prosperity in their region. In this talk, Florida presents the most current regional economic and demographic data of cutting-edge community-building practices to give you framework to make your community more competitive and vibrant.
Innovation, the Culture of Creativity and Managing for It
Richard Florida ignites new thinking and strategic initiatives on how to manage, motivate and inspire creative people. Drawing from his breakthrough Harvard Business Review article and more than two decades of research and experience on leading edge companies, Florida show teams of executives and managers how to manage.
Creative Class Consumption: Marketing to the Creative Class
Who is the Creative Class and why do they matter? They are a consumer group, consisting of scientists, engineers, managers, innovators and people in research and development, as well as artists, writers and musicians are the most educated and demanding consumers in the marketplace. The Creative Class is 40 million strong and makes up 30 percent of the U.S. workforce, with 50% of wages earned. They control nearly 70% of discretionary spending in the US. That is over $500 billion in purchasing power annually. In this talk, Richard Florida presents years of data on who they are, where they are, what they read, what they purchase and the ethos that drives their decisions.
The Great Reset: How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity
In his new talk, Richard Florida provides an engaging and sweeping examination of previous economic "resets," distilling the deep forces that shaped their physical and social landscapes, reshaping economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and simultaneously reshape virtually every aspect of our lives, from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, and how we shape our cities and regions. In a refreshingly optimistic tone, Florida shows how these core elements, when taken together, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and stimulate surprising opportunities for each of us.
The Rise of the Creative Class
Many writers have commented on the massive social changes of the past few decades, but most of them have treated these shifts as something imposed on us, by technology or the marketplace. This is wrong, says Richard Florida: we've chosen to alter our values, work, and lifestyle, and for good economic reasons. Why have we done this? Florida finds the answer in the rise of a new social class. Like other classes, its basis is economic. Just as the feudal aristocracy derived its identity and values from its hereditary control of land and people, and the bourgeoisie derived its identity and values from its role as merchants of goods, the Creative Class derives its identity and values from its role as purveyors of creativity. When we see ourselves as "creative," our self-image affects the choices we make in every area of our lives. Based on a massive body of research, The Rise of the Creative Class chronicles the ongoing sea-change in people's choices and attitudes, and shows not only what's happening but also how it stems from a fundamental economic change. The Creative Class now comprises nearly forty million Americans, or more than 25% of all employed people. The choices these people make have already had a huge economic impact, and in the future they will determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither.
The Great Reset: How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity
We tend to view prolonged economic downturns, such as the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Long Depression of the late nineteenth century, in terms of the crisis and pain they cause. But history teaches us that these great crises also represent opportunities to remake our economy and society and to generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity. In terms of innovation, invention, and energetic risk taking, these periods of "creative destruction" have been some of the most fertile in history, and the changes they put into motion can set the stage for full-scale recovery.
In The Great Reset, bestselling author and economic development expert Richard Florida provides an engaging and sweeping examination of these previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives--from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities for all of us. We've weathered tough times before. They are a necessary part of economic cycles, giving us a chance to clearly see what's working and what's not. Societies can be reborn in such crises, emerging fresh, strong, and refocused. Now is our opportunity to anticipate what that brighter future will look like and to take the steps that will get us there faster.
With his trademark blend of wit, irreverence, and rigorous research and analysis, Florida presents an optimistic and counterintuitive vision of our future, calling into question long-held beliefs about the nature of economic progress and forcing us to reassess our very way of life. He argues convincingly that it's time to turn our efforts--as individuals, as governments, and as a society--to putting the necessary pieces in place for a vibrant, prosperous future.
Who's Your City?
It's a mantra of the age of globalization that where we live doesn't matter. We can innovate just as easily from a ski chalet in Aspen or a beachhouse in Provence as in the office of a Silicon Valley startup. According to Richard Florida, this is wrong. Globalization is not flattening the world; in fact, place is increasingly relevant to the global economy and our individual lives. Where we live determines the jobs and careers we have access to, the people we meet, and the "mating markets"Â in which we participate. And everything we think we know about cities and their economic roles is up for grabs. Who's Your City? offers the first available city rankings by life-stage, rating the best places for singles, families, and empty-nesters to reside. Florida's insights and data provide an essential guide for the more than 40 million Americans who move each year, illuminating everything from what those choices mean for our everyday lives to how we should go about making them.

Tsonga himself is far from an also-ran in world tennis but, after 11 successive defeats to Djokovic dating back to 2010, few could have seen the result coming - let alone the emphatic manner of it.
The pair were on court for little more than an hour, Tsonga converting all four of his break points to continue his good record at a tournament where he has reached the semi-finals twice in three previous appearances.
"For me today it was great," the Frenchman told the ATP Tour website. "I played a good match, I served pretty well, I was pretty aggressive."
Roger Federer's quarter-final place was also in doubt as he was pushed all the way before beating Croatia's Marin Cilic.
The Swiss star took the first set on a tie-break and looked set to finish the job, but Cilic saved six match points in the second before winning it - also in a tie-break.
Federer finally came through, though, wrapping up a 7-6 (7/5) 6-7 (3/7) 6-4 win in two hours and 40 minutes.
Compatriot Stan Wawrinka, the third seed, was beaten 7-6 (10/8) 7-5 by big-serving South African Kevin Anderson, who will face Grigor Dimitrov in the next round. The Bulgarian beat Spain's Tommy Robredo 7-5 5-7 6-4.
Home favourite Milos Raonic, looking to build on his win in Washington last week, battled through with a 6-3 4-6 6-4 win over Frenchman Julien Benneteau.
David Ferrer recovered from a terrible first set to beat Ivan Dodig 1-6 6-3 6-3 but fourth seed Tomas Berdych is out, beaten 3-6 6-3 6-4 by Spain's Feliciano Lopez.

signal drop
mine was very bad at first but I fitted gold bullet connectors to enable the use of 2200mah batterys and it seemed so much better after that, WEIRD!! I'm impatiently waiting for the 2.4mhz kit to arrive and see if that cures it, though I bet being budget stuff they'll be some probs! Also It seems my keyfob camera can effect signal if I locate it too near the aerial, or maybe thats a coincidence?
Since I have the S033G, I thought I might also get the new S33G. I checked several online dealers that carry the new S33G and Man, What a price discrepancy. I realize that we live in a society that embraces capitalism, But a price difference of over a Hundred dollars is a bit much.
I won't buy from either dealer as one is too high in price and the other I've had bad luck with in the past. Maybe after the S33G has been out for awhile, It'll be available from more dealeres.
I made all the mods to my S033G and until I replaced the AA tx battereies with a 7.4v lipo, I had signal drops. After the Tx battery mod I haven't had any. (knock on wood)
I'm waiting until the S33G has been out for awhile and some flights logged, Then if there isn't a bunch of mods that has to be made to it......... Altho if the only difference between the S033G and the S33G is the tx Freq, then It'll probably need all the other mods that were needed for the S033G, So that it can fly in a light breeze.

Good Luck!
Yes, That would be an option, Depending on the price. Usually the 2.4Ghz Tx and Rx are the major cost of the Heli. It might be cheaper to buy the whole S33G and use it for parts or just do the tail rotor and Heli battery mod so it will fly outside in a light breeze.

s033g on 2.4
Thanks for your help guys! I was told by dealers selling helimax floats that the 450 floats would be too big and heavy for an s033g ,so am going to try and make some as soon as I have the time. As for 2.4 talk, my dh9118 2.4ghz pcb arrived today from China and I have a few questions for you experts. There is no aerial attached to the board not even a short whisker aerial. However if you read the bumpf online about the 9118, it says it has a conventional reciever aerial which you can cut shorter?? Also the battery leads seem thinner so I'm worried they may get hot or not carry enough current for the s033g motors.It seems the 9118 has the same motors so I assume it will cope.The board fit into the s033g ok and all the sockets seem to match up for motors,lights etc. I'll solder on the bullet connectors tomorrow and see if she works! The lack of an aerial is the main puzzle.I'm really hoping this will the fix for the s033g signal drops and hope the range is still as good.

I was able to get some more flight time on the S033G and by putting a 7.4v Battery and a longer Ant (one I had from a 27MHz 4ch Tx) and thought that I had solved the signal drop-out problem. No joy there. It went in from about 10ft high and it was only about 20' from me. It was about five minutes into the flight, Now I'm wondering if the Heli Battery was out of juice. I was flying in a light breeze and with the larger tail rotor mod, I was probably pulling more amps. I was so s***ed I forgot to check the voltage before I charged the battery. I have some larger (higher mAh) batteries ordered, So will try one of them and see if that cures the problem.
dwtriac23, As to xheli.com. Their price for the S33G is great, But I'm kind of leary of ordering from them as I've had problems with one of their sister companys in the past. I would hate for History to re-pete it's self. It probably wouldn't, But I'm not sure I want to take the chance. I'm going to have to think about it some more.
I'm really getting tired of a nice flying Heli crashing because of a obsolete radio system. I really would like to get the updated version with the 2.4GHz radio.
My other Heli's are 2.4GHz, Or indoor only infrared type Tx's.

HI, I copied your aerial arrangement and it would'nt even get off the ground! wierd hey!So back to the hanging down job again which isn't so tidy. I now have a 2.4 board and tranny from a dh 9118 to install and try. Hope this is the answer or I've wasted £30.
I've got a DH9118 ordered and it should be here later this week, Let me know how your installation goes, and if it's not too much trouble, I'll transfer the radiio gear from the DH9118 to my S033.

This a question I'd like the answer to too! Mines a 7.4volt s033g and is a little under powered. I've wondered if you can get away with upping it to 11.1 but been too chicken to try it. I run an s031g which was 9.6v with no ill effects on 11.1 but the difference is smaller. I'll just be happy enough if I solve the poor signal issue then can trust it over water etc!
If someone has both the 11.1v and 7.4v, they could look at the boards and if they both used the same components and motors,Then I wouldn't hesitate to try the higher voltage battery in the 7.4v S033G. The one thing that takes the joy out of the day, Is to see the magic smoke wafting out of the circuit board and, or, motors.
I modified the battery tray on my S033G today to mount the new batteries that I'm going to use. I can't try it out today as it's raining fairly steady and I don't feel like taking the cars out of the garage to try it. maybe tommorow if the rain lets up. I stayed with a 7.4v battery, But went up in mAh and they are also lipo's. I'm using a Zippy 2s 1800mAh lipo and there's only two grams weight difference. The Zippy weighs 96g and the stock battery weighs 94g according to my scale. The Zippy is longer, So it'll add a little more weight to the front of the Heli, Hopefully that is a good thing.
drambuidhe, Have you made any progress with changing out your radio in your S033G? My DH9118 is supposed to be here tomorrow. I was thinking about trying to swap radio systems if I can't solve the signal drop problems with the S033G.
I think that what I'm going to end up doing is to go ahead and buy the S33.

From my experience with R/C cars I think going with a higher mAh will only give you increased running time, not increased power. Let me know is you notice more power.
I noticed today that they sell 2 different replacement part motors and circuit boards for the SO33G one is listed specifically for "2 cell version" That makes me fearfull to use an 11.1 volt battery in place of the original 7.4 volt.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
What happens with all 3 options?
Another seperate question: I have an Adgroup with a large not very well focused list of keywords. They all have " " around them. What will happen if I put [ ] around the same keywords but also have the " " ones left in there too? Will this mean I get cheaper clicks on the exact match and the same price on the other ones or what?
1) When you put a phrase into [ ] the ad only appears when there is an EXACT match with the search term (nothing before/nothing after your phrase in the search term)
2) When you put a phrase into "" the ad appears when there is a PHRASE match with the search term (anything or nothing before the phrase / anything or nothing after your phrase in the search term)
3) When you put a phase without [ ] neither "" the ad appears when there is a BROAD match with the search term (every word or combination of words of your phrase in the search term)
So, if you put a phrase into "" you cover the PHRASE MATCH and the EXACT MATCH and if you omit [ ] and "" you cover the EXACT, PHRASE and BROAD MATCH.
In general, the broad match should give you more impressions than the phrase match and the phrase match more impressions than the exact match. The CPC also varies regarding to the concordance options and the demand of the phrase.
Hope that this helps,
Someone searching on My Pet Dog would see the exact name in the title and hence be more likely to click than if they typed in My Pet Dog New York.
Consequently, I would expect a better CTR and therefore lower cost per visitor for a exact match than a phrase match.
Does this tend to be true?
However, which words are bolded in the ad is determined by what they type for their query, not what your keyword phrase happens to be. So it's just as likely they'll see 'my pet dog' because that was part of a broad match as it is if it were part of an exact match.
So if they typed 'bones for my loving pet dog' and you had the good fortune to match that with a broad match of 'bones for a pet dog', they'd still see my pet dog bolded assuming that phrase appeared in your ad.
The consensus here is that using all 3 match types where appropriate is desirable for various reasons. To better exploit the concept of echoing one's search back at them in your ad, you could also try using dynamic keywords. The concept is best described in this thread, message #3:
If you choose the phrase match you'll cover all search terms containing the phrase "red widgets" as is, including this one, so the exact match is covered, and you can set a higher max. CPC to gain a higher position for the broader coincidences, heaving in mind that the Adwords engine should set the correct CPC on each situation.
This requires also corrections in the negative coincidences to avoid undesirable search terms (Ex.: "red widgets in Toronto" if your business is located in Roma).

Cancers of the kidney and bladder kill nearly as many people in the UK as breast cancer yet they have nothing like its profile, and the cardinal sign of trouble — blood in the urine — isn't always taken as seriously as it should be.
Obvious blood in the urine (hematuria) should never be ignored and always warrants further investigation, but there still seems to be some confusion as to what to do with people with traces which are invisible to the naked eye and only detected on testing with a dipstick. And this microscopic hematuria is a common finding occurring in

Let me not waste much time in talking, lets proceed. These are going to be treasured a lot, I am sure!
From Ramki we have his awesome cookbooks that are easy to use. He has collected quite a few like Muglai Curries, Benares Curries, 1001 Korma, 1001 Kulambu and 1001 Aviyal. Well so many on hand, I don't think anybody would want any more to refer!
Then comes the beautiful Brinjals on Parade!
I know there are quite a few who don't like Brinjal. But my Dad loves and I am sure I am going to try these for him or get Amma know these varieties to make for him.
Lets see what they are:
How many names can you call a vegetable? Well this is what baffles Bhagyashri, when she came to know that our good old brinjal being called by different names. But whatever its called the stuffed version for sure has lot of takers!
Gutti Vankaya Kura is famous in Andhra and yes you have many versions to it. And Cinnamom makes it by stuffing it with a different masala and there by creating yet another delicious one for us to try!

From the Food lovers, comes this lovely Brinjal curry all spicy and delicious! I am sure my folks would've liked what Pavani made for them!
This is the first time I came to know that Puries are great combo with Biagan bhartha. But then of course, anything taste great with pooris. Suma Rajesh, back from trip makes this exciting combo that she likes very much. Though she makes it a different way from the usual method, you got to check it out!
Ok I have heard so many things about gotsu, not knowing whether its the gojju we make. Looks like Vibaas also has the same doubt and sticks to calling it as she is used to it. Whatever its called, the dish is a delightful one for eggplant lovers!
Now if you like the flower, you won't miss these out. Well I am referring to the Cauliflowers!
Now have you ever thought of cauliflower in mango. Well that's just what Rekha has for us by making a gravy with Cauliflower in mango gravy and she serves it with Puri. Wow that does look great!

Vibaas posts her all time favorite dish, Avial. And she says she likes it more because its quick to make and tastes great.
Medhaa writes about an traditional bhajji made by her granny. So going by that we can say how authentic and yummy this must be. For those who don't like cabbage, this surely gives a life!
For Nidhi, its always been simple comfort food at home while growing up. So she craved for famed ones. Only to realize the famed ones don't hold much in front of simple everyday food. What can be more wanted than this one, which was cooked very often at her parents place!
Philosophies in life are such that when you read you feel nice. And yes reading Priya talk about the feeling of being a middle child, and her analogy of a tackling an 18 inch snow by walking in the middle, makes her realize the merit of being the middle child. Well in the same breath she talks about the favorite curries that her mom makes for her. It sure looks yummy!
Rajee talks about royals and their dishes and one can't miss out Ghatte ki subji, if you talk to talk about Rajputs. I enjoyed the Ghatte ki subji that I had prepared and Rajee says she finds it easy to prepare on a busy weekdays!

Renuka shares her woes of her dear hubby, not complimenting on her wonderful dishes. But then he must be so used to her wonderful cooking, he thought there was no need. Still she was finally able to get him agree when this corn masala was served. Looking at it, its no wonder of course!
Well not enough with the previous set of curries, not to worry we have more to
Ok I always wanted to taste Pulisser. Maybe I have during my many trips to kerala, but associated them. Once when I actually knew what it is and how it looked, I knew Skrible's mango pulisseri would be awesome!
Sowmya makes an yummy chettinad curry for the first time and gets hooked to it. Well I have always been a fan of this cuisine and its no wonder it getting liked by all!
Srividhya sends in her kid's favorite dish which is also very good for health. Basically I know drum stick curry tastes great, so with sambar powder, it must have been awesome!
Well I don't' have to talk about the awesome pictures that Suganya captures for even a simple dish. And nothing can get more simpler than a Cabbage bhaaji, yet it looks out of the world.She talks about the famous Samaithu Paar cookbook, so I am really glad that she did something specially from that for this event!
Suma Rajesh makes this great looking dish for dosas. What I couldn't believe is that its made with Sweet Potato. It really looks fabulous!
Sweatha brings out a childhood treat which is very simple to make! The ulli means small onions in malayalam and its roasted to bring out the flavour.
One summer evening when Tee was not in a mood to cook anything that was spicy or oily, she just took what came to hand and created this beautiful looking stew! Though she got the idea from a friend, she skipped most part to just indulge in her favorite coconut milk and prepared a stew out of it...how nice!
Now not being enough to blog on beautiful dishes, Vibaas gets her sil to make another. That Peas Masala looks ready to be gobbled down!
I said no to dal based curries but there is nothing against Dal being in the gravy right., right?
Trust Divya to come up with dishes that has names that I can't pronounce even if I have to stand up side down. Well its a another konkani special and its good while you are in diet. Are you on a diet, well I am not but still thats lovely enough to tempt me!
EC makes this lovely triangle puri and makes a moong subzi. Its really interesting to know that different shapes can actually make it more delicious!
Imagine I have been after dear Mandira for ages to send me only authentic Bengali curry and the day she does, I fail to check it out. I even go and ask her to send again. Mandira's space is one to sure hook you, with her beautiful pictures and mouth watering dishes! And it can't get any better than Dhokar Dalna, one lovely looking dish!
Medhaa being fond of beans sprouts as used in Chinese cuisine, makes them take a change in form into a desi curry, none other than beans sprouts curry. This goes well with rice. The crunchy taste that these sprouts lead makes the curry quite a nice dish to have!
Alsanda or the black eyed peas are wonderful. They give such body to the curry and looking at Meera's Alsandiye Kolumbo, it makes it more obvious that this is one lentil thats liked by all.
If you love moong and coconut, then this curry is for you. This is a specialty of Maharashtra, where they make this to break their fast that they have shravan somwar! This brings back fond memories of her aunt, so I can understand how much love must've gone into it.
Well this madam finally came about to send an entry! Nams always said she wanted to send me an entry for the melas, but when all she blogs about, are some awesome cakes and other fancy stuffs, how can she send, unless I do a cake mela?? But I was glad she finally did Dal Makhani, which suits me perfectly!
Padma makes a beautiful Kura with Alasandalu or the black eyed peas. All her pictures always comes out great and this is no different. She always goes to great leagths to present things in the most beautiful way, I wish I had half her talents!
If you are looking for a recipe to work with Long Beans, then Priti has one for you. This I am sure will work out great!
Renuka comes up with an side dish made with double beans. Its been really long since I cooked it, so it was lovely seeing an entry with it.!
Sangeeth makes a moong dal thats makes a very healthy side dish and very quick to make. Not just that, being very conscious of the health factor, she also give a nutrient breakup...way to go Sangeeth!
She needs no intro, for she has a treasure trove that covers everything you can think of under authentic karnataka dishes. And this time Shilpa makes a Maseda, which is gravy made with mashed dals that is famous among the Kannadiga people.
We always make a dal with ridgegourd, so seeing a toori curry with tomato base is something awesome! Of course when Alka does an aerobic to get the right angle, it doesn't go wrong!
Another classic from Maharashtrian cuisine is this Bhoplyacha Rassa - Pumpkin Curry from Meera. The picture so beautifully captures the wonder of the pumpkin in a curry. It looks so refreshingly cool!
bottle gourd from her granny's place. Well a bout of illness kept her away and think what her hubby got. A bottle gourd ready to drown into something other than sambar!!
Shriya makes yet another dish from her Mil. Well what better way to get the hubby dear your way than making a dish that he grew up with..
As if its not enough for me to be so stuck up on my memories, she goes on with hers and I am drafted into another world every time I read her post. Yes Sia is great story teller and she can go on till she hooks you and this time she talks about Bharwan Lauki, which sounds and looks exotic!
Finally comes the 4 K's, Kadhi, Kofta, Kootu, Kuzumbu. Each so different, yet so beautifully blended into culture, cuisine and our taste!
Rupali comes out with a beautiful looking kadhi. Kadhi is made with chickpea, curds and has a distinct flavor. And it also contains pakodas. I remember eating these in my guju friends place and have since wanted to make, but never came around!
Sireesha makes a Kadhi Pakoda which is a famous North Indian dishes. She is sad that this is not so frequently featured in a restaurant. I have never actually tasted and so wish it was!
Archana, a new blogger around the corner sends this lovely Kofta curry. You should check out her other dishes, as she has packed some interesting ones in such short period!
Trust Jayasree to come up with such innovative koftas. Yeah, this is the first time I have heard a kofta being made with yam. And that picture surely doesn't reveal its secrecy. Am sure dipping those lovely pooris into this would've tasted great!
Purva makes a twist to the simple lauki and comes up with this kofte curry! And she says though I find the list a little long, its very simple to make and an easy one for one who wants to start. Well if she says so, I am sure it must be surely simple and great to feast!
And not to mention the Chow Chow Kootu from her!
If I like Kozhambu, its always been araichu vitta kozhambu. Araichu vitta means, ground and added. Ahh..the taste is impeccably arousing your senses! If you haven't tried one yet, then you got to try Miri's delicious combo with dosa, btw that dosa is calling me!
Viji's Weekend Brunches are a die spreads. Every week I make sure I check them on for inspiration! She never fails to make me say wow. Each and week each its a different combo and all colourful. So this is yet another lovely spread of dishes, the star being the Milagai Pazha or a Kuzumbu fresh cayenne pepper!
Vysh's is one of those wonderful blogs I got to discover through this mela. She makes her favorite curry with milagai which is tangy too. Its simple yet tastes great with Rice.
Come back for the next edition!

Ah, April, the sweetest time of year. Spring yawns and stretches. Birds - such as Orioles, Blue Jays and Cardinals - migrate north.
And we Charlie Browns of this world believe that maybe, just maybe, this will be the year we finally clobber one over the fence.
Hope springs eternal.
I was Charlie Brown, the kid picked last every recess. I was the guy no one guarded. No need.
During a football game at Monroe Elementary, I ran downfield and set up beside the big oak tree marking the end zone. Classmates swirled in twos and threes, swarming toward the left. I stood still on the right.
Mr. Laughlin, playing all-time quarterback, spotted me watching the game from the shade of the tree. He locked eyes on mine. And threw.
Oh, my! Oh, my! Oh, my! Wide open. Perfect spiral. Classmates mad-dashing. Too late. All mine. My first ever catch would be a touchdown! Arms outstretched...
And ... I ducked.
The ball sailed harmlessly over my head. The guys on the other team jeered. The guys on my team invited me to play dollies with the girls. Now.
Still, hope sprang eternal.
I laced up sneakers for eighth and ninth grade basketball at Rowe Junior High School. Any time someone tossed me the ball out of desperation, I panicked. No matter where I stood on the court, I heaved it hoopward - and missed widely. Coaches did not leave me in games very long.
On one of those occasions, a kid named Scott ran in to replace me. He couldn't. I'd been fouled. Scott turned to Coach. ''What do I do?'' Coach groaned. He had to let me shoot the free throw. It was in the rules.
I bounced the ball. Dipped my knees. Shoved a shot into the air. The ball WENT IN THE HOOP! Our bench whooped. Coach clutched his chest. Someone left to buy lottery tickets.
It was the only point I scored in any organized league - ever.
Hope sprang eternal that there'd be another someday.
I loved baseball. I just couldn't play it. Fly balls overshot me. Grounders zipped between my legs. My throws to first ended up in the cornfield next to the school diamond. I was in fifth grade before one of my swishes and swats accidentally connected with a baseball.
By the time I made it to my mid-20s, my coordination increased to that of a 6-year-old. In picnic softball games, I began clanking grounders all the way to second base with regularity. Sometimes the ball rolled into what, technically, was the outfield.
I held hope.
One day it happened. I was 40. A church picnic in early spring in Perkins Park. I stepped to the plate. Took a practice swing. The bat snapped quickly. Sharply. I dug in. The ball came. Fat and wide. I swung low. And connected. The ball felt soft against the bat. No hand-jarring vibration. Just a sweet-spot ''poomf.'' The ball took off like a rocket!
It landed beyond the worn lines in the outfield where the city would put up the fences for the summer in another week.
Would the ball have cleared had the fence been there? Maybe. Maybe not.
I choose to think yes. Even Charlie Brown deserves one.
Hope springs eternal.

Dame Helen Mirren, who received a BAFTA Fellowship from the Duke of Cambridge at London's Royal Opera House, tells PEOPLE, "He was so great backstage – so lovely. He was very easy, very relaxed."
The Queen star – who won the Best Actress of 2006 Oscar for playing William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II – added that the future king represents a new kind of relaxed and fun-loving royal. (William seemed to prove this point by posing for selfies on the BAFTA red carpet and even giving British rapper Tinie Tempah a high five during his performance at the awards show.)
"I don't mean this rudely, but you would never think that he was a prince, which to me is the biggest compliment you can make," Mirren said.
"I just felt as though I was meeting a very nice chap. There was no prince-ness about him at all."
As for being made a Fellow of the British Film Academy – of which Prince William is president – Mirren added: "I didn't realize just how big a thing it was to receive a fellowship. They don't give it out every year. So now I am just completely overwhelmed."

Gain Capital Buys GFT, Rejecting FXCM Takeover 0 comments
Emboldened by much better Q1 results, Gain Capital (Forex.com) is going it alone.
Well, it seems as if the letter written to the Gain Capital Board by shareholder Springwater Capital -- warning Gain not to make any acquisitions or do anything else to ward off a takeover of Gain -- wasn't written in a vacuum. Clearly, the Springwater people knew what was up behind the scenes -- and their attempts to embarrass Gain CEO Glenn Stevens into selling the company (by implying that he is overpaid at $2M per year, and has a vested interest to keep himself in the CEO seat) have not worked.

Organist Featured in Distinguished Artist Series
The Distinguished Artist Series at Oklahoma City University continues at 3 p.m. March 27 with organist Melissa Plamann performing Bach, Mendelssohn, Eben, Vaughan Williams and Reger. The concert will be held in the Bishop W. Angie Smith Chapel on N.W. 23rd Street between Blackwelder and Kentucky avenues.
Plamann specializes in 20th and 21st century American works. She presented a recital of American organ concerto premiers including the debut of Tilo Medek's "Italienisches Konzert" at Emory University. She has also performed in a concert series in Germany and the Czech Republic.
Plamann is an assistant professor of music at Oklahoma City University. She earned her bachelor's degree in music from Valparaiso University, a master's degree in music from Emory University and a doctorate in organ performance from Indiana University-Bloomington.
The Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University started its Distinguished Artist Series in the fall to give local audiences a chance to hear master musicians perform.
Mark Parker, dean of the music school, said the series is intended to provide the public with a source for hearing some of the best music the world has to offer performed live.
"This is a chance for people to hear some great musicians perform great masterpieces, and further enrich the cultural offerings of our city," Parker said.
Tickets for the Plamann organ performance are $10. Tickets are available by calling the OCU ticket office at (405) 208-5227 or by visiting www.okcu.edu/ticketoffice. For updates on events and performances at the Wanda L. Bass School of Music, visit www.facebook.com/bassschoolofmusic.
The final date and performance is April 12 with pianist Vladimir Feltsman, presented in partnership with Heritage Hall, performing Bach, Schubert, Schumann-Liszt and Chopin.

When I was in the 4th grade, almost 70 years ago, we learned that the father of a girl in our class had died at age 38. The whole class was shocked. Personally, I worried for a long time about the impact on her and her younger brother. Did they have money without the father (mother's seldom worked outside the home in those days).I worried more about my parents and my sister and what might happen to us if my father died.
I remember this trauma after 70 years have gone by. He wasn't shot. He had a coronary. I'm concerned about the long-term impact these murders will have on the survivors 5, 10, 25 years from now, and by extension, their spouses and children.
The stubborn refusal of our elected representatives to deal with these issues in any meaningful way is a terrible dereliction of their sworn duty to protect our citizens.
A few years back, some nut had a bomb in his shoe on a plane and we caught him. Now every airport in this country requires you to remove your shoes before you can get on a plane, but for 20 murders of children in a repeat performance that happens all too often in this country, nada, rien, nothing.
Not only do our lawmakers have no guts and live in fear of NRA politics, but both parties bear equal blame for a change. Wouldn't it be novel for a committee of knowledgeable people to discuss this and eliminate the 2nd amendment as a consideration until they decide how to improve this horror. Then we can consider the negative impact on our constitutional right to own and use machine guns.

Before that, it was Jimmy Gerken, Tom's dog, Bear, David Schultheiss. Tears and tears. But also laughs and nods and semi-weepy longings for days gone by as I dipped into a small portion of the more than 3,000 columns Rademacher published in The Grand Rapids Press.
His book, "Splitting Wood," is a panorama of Rademacher's work as columnist for The Press. For more than 20 years, he brought readers the stories of real people living real lives, of folks dealing with loss and change, of simple joys and quiet strength. Three times a week, we were privileged to consider the lives of the people who live around us.
He discovered the details that make up life: Abe and Eileen dancing each morning in their kitchen; a stranger buying a silver purse for a little girl; a substitute teacher beloved by all.
Author visit
What: Tom Rademacher will talk about writing and sign books
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Where: Schuler Books & Music, 3165 Alpine Ave. NW, Walker
Splitting Wood
Stuff like hanging out laundry on a clothesline, fishing in a rowboat, tying ties, a game of catch. Stuff like loving your wife, teaching kids, and respect, patience and perseverance.
Rademacher calls it "splitting wood."
"As a columnist, it's my job to fell trees, strip away the bark, and unveil the true essence of people, knots and all. Like working a woodpile of oak or maple, it's not always easy. But the results can render some incredible glimpses into the nature of men and women," he says in his introduction.
He's right. The lives of real people are infinitely more interesting than those found in novels and on TV. You'll agree after walking in the work boots, shoes and sandals of the people whom Rademacher immortalizes here.
You'll be glad you took up an axe and split a little wood.

When Heather Locklear announced in August that she was getting hitched to her longtime boyfriend, actor Jack Wagner, she wasn't the only one happy about the upcoming nuptials.
Her 14-year-old daughter, Ava – dad is rocker Richie Sambora – is equally thrilled about her mom's big day.
"Ava was so excited when we told her," Locklear, 50, says in PEOPLE's new special issue Gorgeous At Any Age.
"She hugged Jack, said congratulations, and she immediately wanted to see the ring. Then she ran and Facebooked her new stepbrother."
"I want her to do what makes her happy," explains Ava. "That's the main point."
As for Ava's own love life, she has Mom's seal of approval on her new boyfriend.
"He's tall and plays guitar," says Ava. "He's so sweet."
Jokes Locklear: "She's like, "I like a musician.' ... How weird. Where does she get that from?"

text: Here we are! India and Pakistan resume their time-honoured rivalry when they take the field in the first T20I at the Chinnaswami Stadium in Bangalore on Tuesday. Sachin Tendulkarâs ODI retirement has taken some sheen off the build-up to this match but a good match can move us on from the sad news that grabbed the headlines Sunday.As to the match, itâs very difficult to say who is the favourites. India had a horrible time against England in Tests and in the following two-T20 series, they were none the better, though they managed to win the opening match.Indiaâs bowling is a major worry. Against England, it looked out of sorts with medium pacers Ashok Dinda and Parvinder Awana leaking runs plentifully. R Ashwin, the most experienced bowler in Indiaâs set-up right now, too was found wanting and if it wasnât for Yuvraj Singh who bowled brilliantly in both matches, things could have been even worse. MS Dhoni too admitted to bowling weaknesses following the defeat in the second game. Pakistan, on the other hand, have a world-class bowling unit. Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir, Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi are too hot to handle, especially in this bonsai format of cricket. And then there are the likes of Mohd Hafeez, the captain, and Shoaib Malik to assist them. In the batting department, they are no less impressive thanks to presence of some really big-hitters. Umar Akmal, Kamran Akmal, Nasir Jamshed and Ahmed Shehzad are live bombs waiting to explode. Clearly, India have a lot to deal with right now. Their batting too is not convincing. Against England, none of the Indian batsmen got a fifty. Yuvraj batted well in the first game, while Dhoni and Raina got a few in the second, but on the whole they were quite below par. If they couldnât do fine against an inexperienced English side, then it could be murder against Pakistan.India are likely to make a couple of changes in the side that played last week. To bring in some inexperience in fast bowling department, they are certain to go in with Ishant Sharma. UP allrounder Bhuvneshwar Kumar might also get a game in place of either Awana or Dinda. However, itâs Awana who is likely to get the boot following an embarrassing performance both in bowling and fielding against England. Also, Ravindra Jadeja may get back his place in the eleven at the expense of legspinner Piyush Chawla as Jadeja brings batting capabilities into the bargain. Pakistan on the other hand may debut Umar Amin, who has already played Tests and ODIs.India havenât played Pakistan much following the terror attacks in Mumbai in 2008 with their last international game coming in the World T20 earlier this year. Also, Pakistanâs last match in India was the 2011 World Cup semifinal in March which they lost. With the political leadership on both sides extending goodwill through this series, it all makes for a great setting.Probable XIs:India: 1 Ajinkya Rahane 2 Gautam Gambhir 3 Virat Kohli 4 Yuvraj Singh 5 Rohit Sharma 6 Suresh Raina 7 MS Dhoni (c&wk) 8 Ravichandran Aswin 9 Ravindra Jadeja 10 Ishant Sharma 11 Ashok DindaPakistan: 1 Mohd Hafeez (c) 2 Ahmed Shehjad 3 Nasir Jamshed 4 Umar Akmal 5 Kamran Akmal (wk) 6 Umar Amin 7 Shoaib Malik 8 Shahid Afridi 9 Umar Gul 10 Sohail Tanvir 11 Saeed Ajmal

Chapel Hill Wine
2010 McLaren Vale Shiraz
Australia: McLaren Vale (South)
Mission Briefing
96 Points Tyson Stelzer! 94 Points Ben Edwards! (read their reviews below)
Today's wine should not be missed, dear Operative. If you adore incredible Shiraz as much as we do, you won't be disappointed with today's selection from fabled South Australia producer Chapel Hill Wines.
This wine is a big, bold, delicious bruiser of a wine, especially on opening. As it breathes, it softens, revealing additional layers of flavor and softer, more fruit-laden aromatics.
We are absolutely crazy about this deep and sexy wine and we offer it to you with our very enthusiastic recommendation.
Please note: When our supplier told us that there were only [REDACTED] cases available in the US, we scooped up every last case. This wine will sell out, so please make your purchase early.
Tasting Profile
With a look that reminded our tasting panel of blackberry pancake syrup, this wine is a deep and inky purple at the heart and magenta at the rim. When swirled, the wine shows its heft and weightiness, leaving its beautiful colors clinging to the glass wall.
Lush and lovely, with bold and extracted aromas of mixed black fruit compote, leather, cracked earth, dried hay, and subtle sage.
Flavors are concentrated, but the wine is not heavy on the palate. The wine exudes delicious flavors of pomegranate, blueberry, blackberry, wild sage, dusty bramble and a hint of eucalyptus and pencil shavings.
Bold, concentrated black fruits persist for a long time. At the very end, a subtle hint of brine adds a lovely punctuation.
Enjoy this bold wine with marinated beef kabobs with sweet onion, red peppers, and pineapple.
What the Winery Says
- Winemakers Comments
- McLaren Vale is justifiably internationally recognized as one of the most acclaimed and revered Shiraz producing regions. McLaren Vale Shiraz is resplendently opulent and seductive which a mouthfeel that treads with a unique combination of power and grace.
The 2010 vintage growing season commenced early due to warmer than average winter temperatures. Average rainfall also meant that many soils reached field capacity for the first time in three years. This provided the vines with sufficient moisture to support spring growth and to establish the required canopies. The weather during the vintage period was extremely favourable, with ripening occurring in an orderly and gradual manner.
The grapes were sourced from vines (all grown on their own roots) aged between seventeen and thirty seven years. The various vineyard parcels were harvested and open fermented separately to ensure that each parcel articulates the unique character of each vineyard site. All ferments were maintained on skins for a minimum of 8 days and then gently basket pressed, following which the free run and pressing fractions were combined.
During the subsequent twenty month maturation in fine grained French oak barrels each individual batch of barrels was racked and returned periodically to seamlessly integrate the tannins into the structure of the wine. To preserve varietal and site purity, the wine is unfined, doesn't have any tannin additions and is bottled unfiltered.
The 2010 McLaren Vale Shiraz displays hedonistic blueberry, pimento and liquorice flavours. The harmonious integration and balance of these fruit flavours is further enhanced by the defiantly persistent and mouth filling savoury, yet firm, tannin structure.

- Press and Accolades
- "Chapel Hill has elevated itself one plane closer to the gods with one of the most profound $30 shirazes I've tasted in a long time. A monumental testament to the incredible 2010 season, this wine will age magnificently and shows every sign of going down as the finest Chapel Hill McLaren Vale Shiraz yet. It's all black, from its extremely dark, vibrant purple hue to the characteristic black plum and black olive aromas of McLaren Vale shiraz, even alluring nuances of game, charcuterie and coal steam. The palate presents remarkable depth of black fruits, liquorice and layers of character at a level rarely witnessed outside McLaren Vale's most revered prestige cuvees. This grand parade of black is something to behold, yet never brash or loud, always precise and lively, intricately framed in a deep-set, rigid chassis of firm, finely poised tannins." – 96 Points Tyson Stelzer
"Dark colour, with a densely packed bouquet of black fruits, bitter chocolate, fruitcake and blackberry all in balance with well-handled oak; the palate is concentrated and fresh, medium-bodied and generous; approachable as a young wine, with plenty of time in the tank." – 94 Points Ben Edwards for James Hallidays Wine Companion
About the Winery
Chapel Hill winery takes its name from the historic ironstone chapel built on the property in 1865. It has served as a local church, then parish school and now, our graceful cellar door and art gallery, focused on promoting the work of talented local contemporary and indigenous artists.
Originally the Christian Bible Church for the local area then later also used as a parish school; the chapel closed in its centenary year (1965) and fell into disrepair until its restoration in the 1970s by Adelaide Professor, Tom Nelson. Tom commenced the establishment of a winery and the Chapel Hill brand in 1973 and six years later the site was purchased by a partnership of the Sellick and Gerrard families who enjoyed considerable success in developing the Chapel Hill wines. Gerrard bought out the Sellick family in the 80's. A new winery was constructed in 1994 with a capacity of 1000 tonnes the equivalent of around 80,000 cases of wine. In 2000 Chapel Hill was acquired by the Swiss based family of Thomas Schmidheiny.
Chapel Hill owns and operates 44 hectares of vineyards and purchases fruit from a select group of McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills vignerons.
Winemaker Bryn Richards
Bryn joined the Chapel Hill team in 2006, bringing a wealth of diverse experience to the blending bench. Kiwi born, English bred and now a true blue Aussie, he has worked vintages in many different regions around the world. Working with Michael Fragos during the 1999 vintage at Tatachilla Winery he was smitten by the wines and lifestyle of McLaren.
He is an advocate of 'Passive Winemaking', an approach he believes delivers wines with great balance and drinkability.

GOOD GRASS — Some fine grass-producing land is to be found in the Stanton vicinity. Mr. David O. Ewing of Stanton had a field of clover that he turned his cows in on May 18th. Ten days later he fenced off five acres of it, and on June 20th mowed 12 big loads of excellent clover hay from it. We call that a large yield.
CHEAP GAS — Our attention is called to the fact that "ninety cent gas" prevails in towns where the Public Service furnishes the supply, and that in Flemington consumers must pay $1.60 per 1,000. But gas is like beefsteak, you had better pay 30 cents for a pound of steak you can eat than five cents for something you have to throw away.
PRICE OF ADS — They say the $250 runabout is in sight. The present high price of automobiles is due to the extravagance that seems necessary in placing them on the market.
GRANGE — A long cherished hope among the Grand View Grangers is being realized with the commencement of steam shovel operations for the foundation of a new grange hall on Court Street.
PEALING BELLS — Fast spreading across the nation, a new "Let Freedom Ring" celebration of the Fourth of July was endorsed by Hunterdon County officials on Tuesday.
The freeholders adopted "A Patriotic Resolution" submitted by member William Amerman which urged that "bells of any size or type or timbre" be rung out across the county at 2 p.m. on Independence Day, Thursday.
The 2 p.m. time, the resolution noted, is "the exact time of the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to celebrate the birth of our Nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all."
While Hunterdon County will thus join its bells with thousands of others across the nation, the original Liberty Bell will not sound. It has not rung since 1835, when it suffered its now famous crack while tolling the death of Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court.
SCHOOL PRAYER — The United States Supreme Court has rightly ruled unconstitutional a distinctly "Protestant Christian" form of worship in the public schools and has thus given final notice that the American society is a pluralistic society.
So asserted Dr. Lewis Webster Jones, president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews and former president of Rutgers and Arkansas universities and of Bennington College. He was speaking at the third program of the "Religion and Public Affairs" series now being held at Fairmount Presbyterian Church.
"We must all recognize that our society is pluralistic, with religious freedom guaranteed to all, even to 100,000 Buddhists in Hawaii" he declared.

My man Gust is on award tour, for yesterday the wildcard for best feature film at the Leuven Kort 2009 festival went to… 'Little Baby Jesus of Flandr', his graduation project, and first long play feature film. Congratulations Gust!
I've had the honour and privilege to see the film already three times, and I must say it is highly conceptualized in its essence, perhaps the strangest Christmas tale I've seen in a long while, yet not in a disturbing way. References with Von Trier and Lynch will be made, which is nice, watch the trailer:
"… adapted from the old Flemish play "En Waar de Sterre Bleef Stille Staan" by Felix Timmermans. A compelling story about three poor beggars, going around caroling on Christmas eve for money, food and liquor. They end up getting lost in the woods and witness the birth of little baby Jesus."
You might know Gust as Gusto Producto, one half of MadeInJapan and from the Cum* documentary yours truly made with him – which will soon be online by the way.
