Such is the live rendering of any which collaborative recording that there's bound to be some treading of toes among the audience not only in a literal, but also an attitudinal sense and certainly, the stance adopted by stalwart Talking Heads acolytes tonight is one of external invasion and consequent infringement. Head of the sect so evidently in the numerical ascendancy this evening, David Byrne & St. Vincent, or Annie Erin Clark according to her passport, first came together late on in 2009 and hand in glove, they eventually released their début collaborative endeavour, Love This Giant, in September of last year.
A hyper-erudite pairing, even from the gleeful opening moments of the evening, their compatibility couldn't be made any more patent yet whereas on record their intrinsically synergic rapport could exhibit itself in scatty fashion, when backed by an eight-piece brass ensemble, they ambidextrously bring together their respective back catalogues in a manner that is both enchanting and indeed cohesive. In short, it's no wonder they get along as well as they so explicitly do…
The duo do, therefore, share in a somewhat instinctive crossover appeal, this particular collaboration bringing together not only artists, but so too audiences. They're never exactly neutralising two opposing forces, though there is an air of resistance among Byrne's more steadfast disciples. St. Vincent's Save Me From What I Want for instance, lifted from her sophomore recording Actor and tonight afforded a magnificently pompous-to-the-point-of-becoming-bombastic sonic magnification, is met with initial indifference. The reaction typically reserved for the support act perhaps, the lack of which this evening feels slightly counterintuitive when considering the collaborative overtones of the show in essence.
Both Byrne and Clark share in upbringings and existences that have proven ragtag as their first record together: the former, born in Scotland, before relocating to Ontario and later Arbutus, Maryland as a child, has since been adopted by the traditionally inhospitable city of New York. The latter, meanwhile, having gone from Tulsa to Texas in her youth, has since also somehow found habitable comfort in the uncomfortable confines of Manhattan. It was there they first met, at Radio City Music Hall no less, a venue that is yet to luxuriate in their emphatic live performance. And rare though it may be, or mawkish as it might sound, the sense that pervades the evening is that this isn't necessarily a collaboration accessible only to those onstage, but rather to anyone willing to intertwine themselves with one of the most innovatory happenings the capital has seen in quite some time.
A prerecorded announcement rattles over the PA, Byrne prattling on about the pair's blasé attitude toward the digital recording of the show for posterity's sake. (A reactionary statement against homegirl Karen O's vetoing of all iPhone remembrance, perhaps.) Again embracive, they welcome all forms of gadget-abetted souvenir scrounging – iPad deployment notwithstanding – although ultimately encourage an unrestrained enjoyment unhindered by others. (If there would be one overarching qualm with their audience, then it's that it can tend to be a tad static at the show's most rampant, extempore jazz moments. This, after all, is a stylisation and of course a context pertaining as much to the corporeal as it is the cerebral.)
They first stir us, perhaps ill-advisedly and just as they did Love This Giant, with Who – the album's swoon-inducing, syncopated, skyscraping high point and ultimately, up until today, the only proven instance really worthy of compulsively recurrent listening. It epitomises the best of their combined efforts, with Clark's incisive guitar lines offset by Byrne's equivalently crisp warbly bits and those impulsive blurts of Ethio-jazz that made the recording so essential in the first place. They become more improvisational; more engaging, with the duo's complementary, if competitive vocal athletics an ever better fit live.
Byrne, armed with an acoustic guitar, has his movement – 'as twitchy and Aspergery a stage presence' as ever – freed up by what has since become known as a 'Britney mic', as he carries out a series of what he so self-deprecatingly concedes to be 'ridiculous poses' in his latest literary masterpiece, How Music Works. (Incidentally, in the exact same way his lettered study gave an unreservedly insightful glimpse into his perception of his life and livelihood, he this evening can't utter a word without it going heard by all.) His performance, however, has retained its every drop of quirky eccentricity: whether writhing on the floor or pulling rabid simian posture, arms flailing wildly all the while, for a self-confessed 'withdrawn introvert' he couldn't look more comfortable up on the Roundhouse's consciously expansive stage. Of course he's merely doing 'something that absolutely anyone would be able to do', although the way in which his rudimentary moves translate to something so strikingly 'show-worthy' ranks among his most potent strengths.
Clark, by contrast, is more or less anchored stage-centre – a motive weakness, if a disguised blessing. Her calm disposition – starkly accented by Byrne's irrepressible mania – is inevitably impeded not only by the positioning of her microphone, but also by the pawn store guitar she clutches tight to her chest throughout. But her centrality seems less coincidental than it does concerted: although Byrne may be the main attraction for most, many have evidently had the curlers out in Clark's honour, and coming at the evening from an alternate angle to the majority, seeing St. Vincent again almost feels to be the best excuse feasible to finally get to witness her counterpart's widely lionised live show – filtered though that may be by this latest configuration.
Though as the duo proceed to power through the parp and fanfare of Weekend In The Dust, Clark takes the lead and with it the entire impetus shifts. The shadows pitched by a pretty supreme light show onto an off-white draped backdrop may recall those cast during revered Talking Heads tours of yore, but these few transitory moments belong to she quite unreservedly. As much thought has gone into this as those, and in a sense it's no surprise to see Byrne again investing heavily – primarily physically, as opposed to pecuniarily – in this form of performance art. Not only is their backing section ludicrously proficient (David later reels off an extensive list of their latest escapades external to this, thus for once emphasising the importance of the individual even within this very collective recital), but they've been choreographed in such a way so as to imbue the show with a sense of multidisciplinary eminence. So not only do they bring "a whole hell of a load of brass" to proceedings, but they simultaneously lend an air of dramaturgical theatricality, too. Love This Giant denouement, Outside of Space & Time, plays out as though it were set for imminent staging somewhere along Shaftesbury Avenue, its every contributor brought to the fore and aligned with only Byrne breaking with regiment as he this time assumes primacy.
But in a way breaking with the conventions of Talking Heads' esteemed tour of '83, during which performers would only be seen onstage when directly involved with the performance itself, everyone remains respectfully present throughout. (Byrne plays momentary truant during a delightfully atonal waltz through Clark's The Party, extending his prerequisite encore breather by only minutes.) Otherwise, he brings a series of improvisational surf moves to her tonight bone-shuddering Marrow – an unanticipatedly imperious high point of the entire evening, during which we can but commend her femme fatale credentials – as he struts impassioned stuff in a spandex-tight droog getup. His complex gestures may have stiffened a tad – lest we forget, keen cyclist Byrne is now the objective elder statesman of New Wave at sixty-one years young – but his assiduity and application remain unchanged.
As the lead is again interchanged, he guides us through a dizzying This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) with a series of sushi chef gesticulations and an unquestionably authoritative vocal delivery, seamlessly integrating his being into the troop's involving routines at every opportunity. Both he and Clark embroil themselves in the unorthodox workout through which the band are put during I Am An Ape – a song which, if a squirmish blip on record, turns resplendent live – with its response wildly primal. A conga line forms, Byrne once again with an acoustic to hand as Clark emphatically karate chops a drum pad. It's absolute performance art put together to impeccably precise specification, and puts, say, Shaking The Habitual to shame. Properly composed by contrast, not only is the music recited live and in innovative fashion, but its orchestrators are involved as the spectacle itself feels involving.
Indeed, it's unrelenting as Watch The Throne, every song albeit proving infinitely preferable. And again, whereas Kanye West and his waning counterpart would rarely share the stage, Clark and Byrne are only too keen to get close. They go so far as to share in a synchronised argent hair colour, though Byrne's puritanical white garb stands out against Clark's monochrome adorned only slightly with slives of shimmering silver. Yet if their costumes contrast with one another, then it's the radiant camaraderie in which they share – again antithetical to the oneupmanship of both Watch The Throne, during which the two hip hop titans would continually strive to outdo one another, and so too Shaking The Habitual, where the overriding impression was of The Knife diddling their audience – that galvanises and with it beguiles.
With the show having been preceded by a plethora of Amazonian chirps that filled the Roundhouse with exotic repose, The Forest Awakes is awarded context, its crude, natural brass melded with a more industrially affected electronic lilt in the same way that Clark's piercingly angular poise contradicts Byrne's chameleonic blending into the surrounds of his native backing band. The diminutive Clark then takes an almighty lead on Optimist, its lyrics of 30th Street and spying "Vivian Girls on the Up-Upper East" uniting the duo in a common relish for their now-native NYC atop a lavish musical backdrop massive as Manhattan itself.
The duo's honed vocal duality, meanwhile, makes itself manifest during an innately jittery Northern Lights: Byrne's quivering makes him seem like Brian Wilson on Ritalin, though his register renders the Strange Mercy standout a little more singable for the males in attendance, as when charted against Clark's intangibly operatic timbre, it mercifully becomes that bit more graspable. Illumined by epileptic flashes – another sign of this being a fully collaborative production, with stage hands, technical engineers, and so on central to its execution – they revel in a gratuitous theremin duel "brought to you by Bob Moog, Clara Rockmore, and Bruce Lee." This, as is Byrne's durable intention, is the exhibition of it being 'possible to mix ironic humor with sincerity in performance. Seeming opposites could coexist.'
It's a notion he's explored time and time again throughout his expertly miscellaneous musical exploits that now date back numerous decades, and never have his talents been put to better symbiotic effect than in 2002, when he combined with the ephemerally successful British dance outfit X-Press 2 to produce Lazy. Tonight reprised and with it reenergised, it's dynamically made into a sprightly martial stomp that's as paradoxical as it is unparalleled. "I'm lazy when I'm speaking, I'm lazy when I walk/ I'm lazy when I'm dancin', and I'm lazy when I talk" Byrne intones a little indolently, Clark's immaculate harmonies deferentially mirroring his softly undulating tone. Though he himself is anything but idle, and remains among the most artistically proactive maestros of his time. Furthermore, the abiding distinction of the song itself seems to suggest that although centred around sloth, it really had legs to it all along. And so, as St. Vincent perfects her signature skeletal totter about her ever-beloved "archangel of absurdity", a wholly immersive show hits its euphoric peak.
Elaborate glimmers of Byrne's enduring penchant for expressive consortium protrude elsewhere, too: Strange Overtones, taken from he and Brian Eno's second record optimistically entitled Everything That Happens Will Happen Today and released in 2008, brings disco shimmy that simultaneously feels superbly melancholy, a vibrant sousaphone its glinting disco ball, while I Should Watch TV concerns Byrne's eventual coming into cahoots with 21st century television manufacture, the effects of which are yet to fully settle. A score that ultimately, and most pertinently gets settled this evening, however, is that which suggests Love This Giant to be a far more inspiratory recording than it was first given credit for. A carefree calypso rendition of The One Who Broke Your Heart pieces together its recorded inconsequence in order that it become a kind of logical successor to Arrow's Hot Hot Hot, a comparison that demists itself as the temperatures inside this illustrious cultural stronghold continually increase.
Though essentially, it's the palpable feel of a real touring troop that burns brightest, with those entertainers round up by ringleaders Clark and Byrne only too capable of making this, the live experience, enhance their previously recorded intents tenfold. Its two primary orchestrators of course bring out the best in one another as well, ensuring the frequent points at which they delve into their personal discographies feel highly agreeable, and never alien. Whether that be the wholly immersive, jaunty doo-wop of Wild Wild Life – a song initially intended for a karaoke scene from Byrne's '86 flick True Stories, during which their band members tonight take turns to sing its giddying lines one at a time – or a rightfully incendiary Burning Down The House that sees the two vocalists sparring jovially beneath an unsparing red, their interaction is never incompatible.
Nonetheless, as Byrne presses: "Would you like to come along?/ You can help me sing this song/ And it's alright, baby it's alright" during a seemingly Rawhide-inspired Road To Nowhere, that has been further bolstered by a '20s swing outro, the lingering sense is that there's only one star in the ascendancy this evening, and that's a seemingly very merry Annie. Having first heard Byrne's music whilst watching Revenge of the Nerds at the tender age of four (the film's soundtrack incidentally featured Burning Down The House, no less), it was ostensibly he who opened her mind up to "another stratospheric realm accessed via music" and she very publicly credits him for that very premature lifeway revelation. "Thank you to David for having done what all of us probably want to do – for having inserted more joy into the universe" she openly decrees in what would doubtless seem excessively sycophantic, were the evening in its entirety not quite so joyful in itself. Its two moments of most unadulterated delight stem from Strange Mercy, and up first is Cheerleader.
Its verse spooked by a guttural vocal octave effect, a lonesome St. Vincent is overlooked by an off-centre spectral shadow cast by she herself, before its chorus splits open to spill a sort of Sony Xperia ad euphoria across the stalls. With Byrne and their brass section erased from sight, all eyes fall on her, though she finds herself only too capable of fending for herself, the song's macabre qualities casting an imposing stature even without the fifteen-foot silhouette hanging over her. A brassy Cruel, too, unlocks that aforesaid realm of the incomprehensibly ecstatic incurred only by music this sensational, Clark cajoling a perfectly stuttering solo from only the one guitar string. And so as was with Watch The Throne before it, this feels to be the passing of the baton, or rather the rhythm stick, down the generations. He is to she what James Brown was to Byrne when first witnessed at the Providence Civic Center however many moons ago, and while it must remain an unrivalled experience for the precocious protégé not only to have her music transposed into brass arrangement, but also sung by her childhood hero nightly, it is she who steals the evening.
There couldn't be a more fitting venue for this particular show, the Camden Roundhouse one teeming with history and brimming with perpetual innovation in the live music arena. New chapters continue to be composed, and its latest was doubtless scribed tonight for if it's taken nigh on a year of touring for the twosome to finally make it over to London, then they have, at long last, vindicated every second of the wait. This is how music works.

Excellent all round, visited two other hotels in soller that we were thinking of booking and were very glad that we picked the aimia The nice young breakfast waitress would not let me bring her home as a souvenir.
The pool and breakfast buffet. Very close to the harbour. Excellent housekeeping staff. On arrival at 9.45 pm was told by reception that I might be too late to get something to eat, also to inform them if I wanted to use the sauna at least 30mins before so it could be switched on. On finding that the air conditioning wouldn't work, the room was 25degrees, was told that it was controlled by reception and they then switched it on.
The overall friendliness of the staff and their attention to detail.
The staff were extremely charming and would go to great lengths to help.the environment and ambience was extremely calm and relaxing;would definitely stay there again.
As above, the staff friendly and helpful. Pity the bar never seemed to have staff there in early evening, or maybe we went there at wrong time. A bidet in bathroom would be useful, especially as the bathroom was well equipped in other respects.
Having stayed at this hotel two years ago we knew what to expect. The rooms are extremely modern and clean with very good views. Although we did not use the indoor pool and spa these are also very good. Helpful staff who have lots of time to answer queries. There could be more sun loungers around the pool, including some in the shade. Most of the ones provided were covered by towels very early but not used by the majority until much later in the day.
View, pool
Had a relaxed, home-from-home appeal with a truly gorgeous view. Rooms were comfy and very clean with shiny new bathrooms. Great value and friendly staff - perfect for our combination of walking and beach holiday. Only possible criticism - buffet food was mediocre.
The hotel is lovely especially the pool area and the eating area. The rooms were a bit small and dated plus if you're driving it's very confusing to find. Breakfast was lovely.
Beautiful views of the port and surrounding mountains, lovely clean swimming pool. We booked a double room but was given a twin; the hotel staff said that there were only 6 doubles in the hotel so it was not possible to give us a double. Also the hotel was quite a way up the hill so anyone with mobility problems would find this difficult.
central to facilities. Wonderful view 136 steps to it although it walked off the dinner
Nice place. Good size of a town. Fantastic nature. One of the headwaitwers. Staying in the annex for the first 3 days.
Good breakfast buffet with freshly cooked food. Large room. Very good standard for the price.
Reception staff were just so nice and helpful! Super! For all non-pretentious/non-pompous types an absolute gem. Well, obviously at the rates, not sumptuous, but, nothing bad except the bodywash containers which were out in many rooms, and the cleaners "no hai" -pretty small complaint!
Lovely views from the room. The single room was quite smaill, though, but balcony was spacous. No disturbancies in the night. Qiet location and yet just 2-300 meter to the harbour and tram station. The food was poor. No real cofee, juice etc. for breakfast even the tea water was not hot enough. Dinner was really bad in my oppinion. The food was over or undercooked. Soup was made from powder etc.
A really nice breakfast. Our room balcony was far too close to the next one.
close to water, close to town, clean, awesome buffet complete totally full breakfast for anyone who likes to eat breakfast. the beds were so hard and the blankets were not soft
good pool area, friendly staff. comfortable and pleasant lounge bar and dining rooms. great views of the bay and mountains from our room. we found that the air conditioning was a bit noisey
Helpful front office staff. Restaurant staff were not very happy.
excellent price a double bed is two singles pushed together...not ideal for young couples
OK rooms, close to centre, nice reception area Unfriendly staff, lack of service. We waited 15 min. in the reception before the clerk showed up. As I look at the reviews of this hotel there are big differences in peoples experience.
The staff were very helpful, plenty to eat and a varied breakfast. Double room very good comfortable and lovely balcony

Nanotech Coating Produces Electricity From Sewage

Could change the face of wastewater treatment
Oregon State University engineers have
applied new coatings
on anodes of microbial electrochemical cells, which heightens their electricity production by 20 times, and is another step closer to producing electricity from sewage.
The graphite anodes were coated with palladium at one point in order to produce electricity, but that didn't produce quite as much as the
nanoparticle layer
of gold, which is what increased the electricity production by about 20 times. This is a huge advance toward technology that could both produce levels of electricity and clean biowaste at the same time, ultimately changing the face of
renewable energy
and wastewater treatment. Also, this sort of technology could help treat wastewater in developing nations where an inadequate power supply prevents proper treatment.
During the course of these experiments, researchers inserted bacteria from sewage into an anode chamber and allowed it to form a biofilm, absorb nutrients and grow. The bacteria releases electrons during this process and fuels electricity production.
"This is an important step toward our goal," said Frank Chaplen, an associate professor of biological and ecological engineering. "We still need some improvements in design of the cathode chamber, and a better understanding of the interaction between different microbial species. But the new approach is clearly producing more electricity."
In addition, researchers have reason to believe that an iron nanoparticle coating would increase the electrical output of sewage as much as the layer of gold in some types of bacteria. Also, a "similar approach" could produce hydrogen gas rather than electricity, which could lead to further advancements in
hydrogen fuel cell technology
for cars as well as treating wastewater.
"Recent advances in nanofabrication provide a unique opportunity to develop efficient electrode materials due to the remarkable structural, electrical and chemical properties of nanomaterials," said the published research paper. "This study demonstrated that nano-decoration can greatly enhance the performance of microbial anodes."
While more research is required to lower costs and improve efficiency, researchers say this technology has been proven in the laboratory.
The study
was led by Hong Liu, an assistant professor of biological and ecological engineering, and was published in
Biosensors and Bioelectronics

The world of Pakistan politics is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Conservatives hate conservatives, liberals boast of being conservative and God forbid if one is a Christian in this Muslim land. Imran Khan, the most famous person in Pakistan because of his cricket fame has now become a political leader. He divorced his socialite British wife, became a devout Muslim, and works hard to cooperate with Taliban leaders. In fact, Khan is leading a march to protest drone strikes against the Taliban.
Is that clear? So,how does the Taliban respond to this nice guy who likes them? if he marches into their territory to protest drone strikes against them, "If he comes our suicide bombers will target him. We will kill him. We will not accept help from any infidel. We can fight on our own with the help of God."
I give up. I next expect the Taliban to welcome aid from Israel.

Business Perspective
"We had an extraordinary finish to the year as clients turned to our Build for Change® technology to improve customer experience and drive operational efficiency," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems. "Our uniquely unified BPM and CRM offering continued to resonate globally as we achieved record bookings in the fourth quarter from both new and existing clients who deepened and broadened their commitments to Pega. We gained important new name customers in the public sector, as well as two of the world's top five global insurance companies. In addition to the 18% license revenue growth for 2012, our deepening relationships with customers added over $45 million to our license backlog. We continue to see buyers using Pega to more effectively future-proof their existing systems and ERP investments, leveraging Pega to dramatically increase business agility as well as fuel rapid and continuous innovation."
"We anticipate our growth momentum to continue as we move into 2013, with forecasted annual revenues targeting $510 million and forecasted net income of approximately $33.2 million or $0.83 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, or $48.1 million or $1.20 per diluted share on a Non-GAAP basis. Similar to years past, we expect 2013 will be back-end loaded, and therefore revenue for the first half of 2013 is anticipated to be about 45% of annual guidance," concluded Mr. Trefler.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S., ("GAAP"), the Company provides Non-GAAP measures, including in this release. Pegasystems' management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and Non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The Company's annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis, and both are approved by our board of directors. In addition and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, the Company uses Non-GAAP measures and financial performance results in the evaluation process to establish management's compensation.
The Non-GAAP measures exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and relocation expenses associated with the move of our office headquarters. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our anticipated future results. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to Non-GAAP measures is included in the financial schedules at the end of this release.

Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 2011
Chardonnay from Burgundy, France
Winemaker's Notes
This beautifully balanced wine has concentrated aromas of honey, white fruit and flowers. Full-bodied, rich and powerful, this wine will develop in the bottle for 10 to 15 years.
Serve with rich appetizers including foie gras, or fish or shellfish in cream sauce.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "One of the more intensely mineral Chassagnes in the range, the Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos De La Chapellet is drop-dead gorgeous. Flint, smoke, graphite, tangerine and almond notes all blossom in a Chassagne that is at once powerful yet refined. The flavors are vivid and totally nuanced in this impeccable Morgeot from Jadot."
The Wine Advocate - "This was the first time I had been back to Louis Jadot's expansive winery on the northern outskirts of Beaune since their memorable 150th anniversary tasting back in 2008. As I quipped in the previous issue, Jacques Lardiere was then talking about his imminent retirement that seemed to never come. But on this occasion, there was new winemaker Frederic Barnier there to greet me. He has large shoes to fill but he seems up to the task of steering this important Burgundy name to a new chapter, having worked alongside Jacques for a couple of years. "At the beginning, we were not so confident about the whites," he explained in reference to his 2011s, "but it has been a nice surprise. The dry spring of 2011 affected the level of ripeness but it has lent freshness, but with low acidity." We did not have time to taste the entire portfolio of over 80 crus, but instead took a sample of 20 white and reds from both the 2010 and 2011 vintages. "
International Wine Cellar - "Bright lemon-yellow. Complex aromas of citrus peel, pear, minerals and anise. Juicy, brisk and penetrating, with lovely inner-mouth floral character to the delineated fruit and mineral flavors. Finishes with very good sneaky length and a firm citrus spine that calls for four or five years of cellaring. Pungent and backward for this bottling. This vineyard, along with the Abbaye de Morgeot and Caillerets, were affected by both spring frost and hail in 2011, noted Frederic Barnier."
Burghound.com - "This is also notably ripe with aromas of dried yellow orchard fruit and hints of the exotic along with soft floral nuances. There is noticeable wood on the opulent and exceptionally rich and solidly well-concentrated flavors that possess good muscle on the palate coating finish. This is not an elegant wine but it does offer plenty of character.
Barrel Sample: 88-91 Points"

About BurgundyView a map of Burgundy wineries
Burgundy is a small region, only about a fourth the size of Bordeaux. The narrow thread of vineyard land stretches from the city of Dijon to Lyon. The five main districts of Burgundy are – from North to South - Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais, and Beaujolais. Chablis is far removed geographically (above Dijon) and adheres to its own classifications. Beaujolais is its own region due to grape variety, vinification methods and regulations. Leaving us with the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais as the heart of Burgundy.
Grapes of the region are easy to remember - Pinot Noir for reds, Chardonnay for whites. Burgundy can be called home for both varietals, despite their increasing presence in every winemaking country. In this area red wines out number whites, although the quality for both is unparalleled.
A bit of History...Once owned and run by the church and nobility, the vineyards of Burgundy were seized during French Revolution and sold off piece by piece. Further separation occurred with Napoleonic Law, which ordered that inherited land be divided among children equally. These two factors put Burgundy where it is today – a myriad of vineyards and villages, each with a number of growers and producers.
NégociantsBurgundy is organized by plots of land and labeled as such. About half of Burgundy works on a négociant system. Growers of small plots sell grapes, or more often, barrels of already made wine, to négociant houses who then blend it with other wines from that region and put it under their label. While the négociant system may sound like a way to produce mass amounts of anonymous wines, that is, luckily, not the case. Wines are labeled with a sense of place, so you know what land you are getting. There are some négociant houses that are much more renowned and consistent than others, and for the most part, the system works. But times are changing. Some growers are purchasing more land and making the wine on their property, under their label, for more consistency. On the other side, négociant houses are buying up their own vineyards so they will have more control over winemaking.
Classification SystemThe classification system is similar to a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is the most basic of the classifications, the Burgundy AC, meaning grapes can come from anywhere in the Burgundy region. Next up is a village wine, such as Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits, or the villages within these regions, like Givery-Chambertin or Puligny-Montrachet. The label will say Appellation Puligny-Montrachet Controlée. At the next level is the premier cru. A wine that says Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru will still be Appellation Puligny-Montrachet [premier cru] Controllée, but may include the premier cru vineyard name, such as Les Pucelles. At the tip of the pyramid are the grand cru vineyards. There are only 30 in the Côte d'Or and the name of the vineyard is the appellation name.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

About meI have had a (lengthy) career in finance, but spent my first college years as an English major. I continue to read avidly, although in the last five years have devoted more time and effort to it. I'm married, live in Colorado, and do financial work in the publishing field. I love modern literature, but I'm glad I can take it up at my own pace. That way I'm left free to consider, write, and visit "LibraryThing" whenever I want. I was gratified recently while answering a poll question about my activities, to find "avid reader" as one of the choices. The pollster seemed to understand that it can take up quite a bit of time.
About my libraryI'm a relative newcomer to LibraryThing; I have only included books I've read since 2004 (and not all of those). Nothing here so far by Twain, Austen, John Barth, Saul Bellow, or so many others I'm going to have to work on. Mostly what's here is late-model serious fiction, with a little biography (particularly of the American Founding Fathers) mixed in.

London Stories Edited by Jerry White (Everyman, £10.99)
"London has the greatest literary tradition of any city in the world," Jerry White says without qualification at the start of his brief preface to this latest of the covetable Everyman Pocket Classics.
Professor White teaches London history at Birkbeck and is the author of a fine three-volume narrative history of London (as well as Zeppelin Nights): nobody is better suited to edit such an anthology. He has mixed up these London stories very inventively, including as much reportage as fiction, to find continuities in the lives of Londoners, "trauma both public and private, the never-ending struggle against adversity in the giant city, and the ceaseless stimulation of its delights".
His selection — ranging all the way from Thomas Dekker's dramatic evocation of "London, Lying Sicke of the Plague" of 1603 to Hanif Kureishi's bleak statement about a broken marriage, The Umbrella of 1999 — is much more socially diverse than previous compilations.
Thus he includes Frederick Treves's moving 1923 account of The Elephant Man and Henry Mayhew's Watercress Girl of 1851, an eight-year-old's entire life laid out in a few, unforgettable pages, as well as such corkers as the Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle ("Only one of those whimsical little incidents which will happen when you have four million human beings all jostling each other within the space of a few square miles"). There's a satirical account of a nutty little primitive Christian sect called The Walworth Jumpers in 1876 and another about promiscuities among the Methodists from 1792.
In 1967, Muriel Spark eviscerates a phoney Mayfair socialite, Daisy Overend, "diminutive, charming, vicious, and tarted up to the nines". And in 1992, Doris Lessing writes In Defence of the Underground, asking, in the face of complaints from crusty Brits: "Is what I enjoy about London, its variety, its populations from everywhere in the world, its transitoriness — for sometimes London can give you the same feeling as when you stand to watch cloud shadows chase across a plain — exactly what they so hate?"
London Stories boasts 432 rewarding pages. It's not quite enough, perhaps? But then London never can be contained.

Yes, I'm as intrigued by the SS as anything. At Obama's first inaug., someone left the camera on their exit for a while... after everyone disappeared down a tunnel.
All of a sudden, a guy comes in view, walking backwards into the tunnel. He had a big jacket on and you could tell something big was under it. And the concentration on his face......I wouldn't want him after my ass. Not many saw it because it seemed everything was over.
That is very cool. Wish I had seen it. My dad put #2 Bush's gas lines in the kitchen at the WH upon demand of his fancy chef. Anyway - the SS goons would follow him to the bathroom and stand outside. LOL! He's done some humdingers due to his security rating. Ft. Detrick is another one he used to have fun at.

Wow, sounds like your dad has some cool stories.
LOL, yeah, I looked those flat beds over real closely!
How Clinton can face everyone, I just don't know. Surely people still make certain remarks to him. Oh well....

- MAP Matters
- About MAP
- Why MAP Matters
Why MAP Matters
MAP grants help make college possible for thousands of Illinoisans annually. That matters a lot, because by 2018, 64% of all jobs in Illinois will require postsecondary education. More education not only leads to better and more diverse career prospects, financial stability and independence, but it has also been linked to longer life expectancy, better physical and mental health, lower incarceration rates, greater tolerance, higher voter turnout, and better prospects for the next generation.[1] So by helping to give individuals the opportunities a college education can bring, MAP is an investment in our communities and in the future of our State.
Yet currently only about 42% of working-age adults (25-64) in Illinois hold a two or four year college degree.[2] MAP matters to low-income, first generation, and students of color, for whom there continues to be a significant achievement gap. Students from families in the top income quartile are three times more likely to attend college and far more likely to achieve a bachelor's degree than students from families in the lowest income quartile—even those low-income students with the highest grades. Over half of MAP recipients are first generation students, and more than half of the undergraduates at Illinois's public universities who identify themselves as Black or Hispanic receive a MAP grant.
College costs have risen faster in recent years than in any other sector of the economy—even faster than healthcare—while MAP funding is shrinking. A little more than a decade ago, in 2002, MAP was able to meet the needs of all eligible applicants and fully covered average public university or community college tuition and fees. Today, with MAP funding currently below 2009 dollar levels and an effective maximum award of $4,720, MAP serves only about 37% of the applicants who are eligible and covers only about 35% of average tuition and fees at a public university in this State.
In FY 2015, MAP awards totaling approximately $357 million helped over 128,000 students to continue their education, but over 160,000 eligible applicants were not offered MAP due to insufficient funding. Without an FY 2016 budget and final MAP appropriation, over 125,000 students across the state could find that they are unable to attend college without MAP funding— reducing their likelihood of completing, negatively impacting their careers, and resulting in long-term economic harm to individual families and the state.

President Sarkozy who currently heads the European Union told Russia, "we cannot go back to the age of spheres of influence. Yalta is dead." His comment came in response to statements by President Medvedev of Russia who insists his nation now has the right to carve out a sphere of influence in areas that formerly belonged to the old Soviet Union. An emergency meeting of 27 EU leaders urged all nations to refuse accepting the incorporation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia into Russia. Sarkozy and a EU delegation will visit Moscow next week in an attempt to negotiate with Russian leaders concerning recent events with Georgia. "Relations between the EU and Russia have reached a crossroads," said a summit statement. It went on to denounce Russia for failing to live up to cease fire agreements.
It is a time for reflection as well as action. Perhaps, the EU might reconsider its support of the Bush plan to build missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic. Perhaps, it is time for NATO to invite Russia to become a member. There is need to take concrete steps that recognize legitimate concerns of the Russian government. Sarkozy says "It takes two to tango," but that also means both sides should be cognizant of fears and anxieties of the other.

What Does The DVLA Do?
The DVLA is an executive agency of the Department for Transport. Do you need to renew your tax disc, send for a first or updated driving licence or make a statutory off road notification? If so then you will need to contact the DVLA on 0870 025 0121.
DVLA can also be contacted by mail at their below Headquarter:
The DVLA operates a fully automated 24 hour telephone service. This allows drivers to make sure they keep their information fully up to date, enables you to buy a tax disc when needed, obtain a new driving licence or report a vehicle not road worthy or taxed at any time.
- The agency is also responsible for:
- Issuing licenses to new drivers
- New drivers applying for provisional licenses
- Issuing blue badges for disabled drivers

What is the DVLA?
The DVLA (Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency) is a British Government agency.

The agency currently holds over 44 million valid driver's licenses and 36 million licensed vehicles. If you want to learn more then click here.
Apart from already listed reasons to contact DVLA, there several other conditions in which contacting DVLA customer service at 0870 025 0121 phone number can save valuable time and money. These conditions include:
Telling DVLA about a Medical Condition or Disability:
It is very important for you to update DVLA if you have a valid driving license; and you have developed a 'notifiable' medical condition or disability or if your condition or disability has got worse after getting the license. Notifiable conditions are defined as anything that may result in an individual's ability to drive safely and with utmost precaution. Such conditions mostly include Epilepsy, Strokes and other major neurological and mental health conditions and physical disabilities. At times, visual impairments are also included in such conditions.
You must check well in advance if you actually need to tell DVLA about your condition. There are different types of forms for each of the medical conditions and disabilities available on their official website, or you can get directly in touch with a customer service agent of DVLA at 0870 025 0121 number. Just in case you fail to inform DVLA in a given time period, you may be fined up to £1,000 or prosecuted in case of an accident.
You may even have to surrender your license to DVLA if the doctor advises you to stop driving immediately because of your medical conditions. Surrendering the license voluntarily may help you get the same back soon without many formalities.
Applying for V5C Vehicle Registration Certificate:
You may apply over the phone by dialing 0870 025 0121 DVLA number or send form V62 in order to get a valid replacement V5C vehicle registration certificate (log book). You are eligible for a replacement if your original V5C certificate has been stolen, lost, damaged, destroyed or haven't ever received the certificate for the new vehicle. In case you happen to purchase a vehicle without a V5C certificate, you will not be able to tax it legally and even drive it on public roads.
Applying for V5C vehicle registration certificate over the phone is quite easy and it can be done if you were ever shown as the registered keeper on the original registration certificate. The process charges a nominal fess of £25 that you may pay by debit or credit card.
Please note that you will not be able to apply by phone if your name, address or vehicle details do not match with the originals or have been changed.
Replacement certificate may take up to 5 days to get delivered if applied over phone. However, while applying through post, you need to complete form V62 'Application for a vehicle registration certificate' and mail it to DVLA with the same fee of £25 that has to be made by cheque.
Understanding about DVLA Vehicle tax and SORN
It is very important to tax your vehicle be it car, motorcycle or any other vehicle using the reminder letter (V11). Those who do not have a valid reminder letter may use a V5C registration certificate (log book) that is in their name, a new keeper supplement (V5C/2) or the 'last chance' warning letter.
In case you do not keep or use your vehicle on a public road, you may even make a SORN (Statutory off Road Notification) in place of taxing it. One may even SORN the vehicle if the vehicle isn't insured, you want to break a vehicle down for parts before selling it or you wish to buy a vehicle and want to keep it off the road. If you face any difficulty in taxing your vehicle you can always give DVLA a call at 0300 790 6802 to understand more about SORN or DVLA vehicle tax
Book a Driving Test or Upgrading the License:
You may book your driving test for cars, motorcycles, lorries, buses and coaches, and taxis. The service is currently available from 6am to 11:40pm. To apply for the same, you need some valid documents that include UK driving license number, credit or debit card, driving instructor's personal reference number. You may even book a test to upgrade your current license for which you need to call the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The agency is open Monday to Friday, 8am to midday.
Telephone: 0300 200 1122
Or give DVLA a call at 0870 025 0121 telephone number and ask for a direct number to DVSA
Registering a Vehicle with DVLA
After purchasing a vehicle, it is very important to get it registered as soon as possible. The process is very simple as you just have to fill in a form and send it to DVLA for verification. However, the form you have to send depends on various circumstances. Before anything, do make sure that the vehicle exists and you solely own it. Also, update the required records because of the changes that have been made to the vehicle. You need to pay a fee of £55 if the registering and taxing of the vehicle is being done for the first time by DVLA.
If you have already registered your vehicle with DVLA and want to update the information you can directly contact DVLA at 0870 025 0121 number and a trained customer agent will help you.
To Renew Your Car Tax: Call DVLA at 0870 025 0121
To drive a vehicle on the roads in the U.K., an individual needs to fulfill certain requirements such as being aware and updated about the traffic rules and regulations. If an individual fails to fulfill any such requirements, then he may not be allowed to drive in the country. While being aware and updated about the rules is essential, it is also crucial to pay the car tax on time. To gain an understanding about the car tax, contact the telephone number of DVLA at 0300 790 6802.
Car tax, also known as the vehicle excise duty, vehicle tax or road tax, is the duty imposed by the government on all the cars that are driven on the public roads of the U.K. Paying it on time is the responsibility of every U.K. car owner. Dial 0870 025 0121 for assistance from DVLA customer care. Wondering about the amount of tax you need to pay and how to calculate the same? With DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), calculating and paying your vehicle tax is easy.
Calculate your Car Tax
Calculating your car tax is not a big task. All you need are the details of either engine size or fuel type and CO2 emissions. This information will depend on the vehicle's registration date. Contact DVLA customer care number 0300 790 6802 for help.
An individual can check the required information about the car with the DVLA. Getting the information about the vehicle can be faster for those who have the V5C i.e. vehicle registration number. V5C is the vehicle registration document from the DVLA that contains all the necessary information about the car such as the date of registration, name of the manufacturer, the colour and engine size.
The applicable vehicle tax and whether the vehicle is taxed or not can also be done online by simply filling a form. All you need is the registration number, vehicle make and V5C document number (optional). In case of any assistance to know your vehicle information you can easily contact the DVLA customer service number at 0870 025 0121.
To ensure that an individual doesn't miss out on the date due to pay tax, DVLA sends the timely reminders for the same along with options to pay the amount in total or in installments via a direct debit option or as an installment for 6 months. But, if the tax amount applicable is somewhere around £30 for the year, the person is not allowed to pay the same in installments.
Payment of the vehicle tax can be done online using the reference number mentioned on the reminder form. In case the car is due to have an MOT within the next month, the person cannot pay his tax until the MOT has been done. It must be remembered that a car cannot be taxed without having an MOT and insurance.
Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN)
SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) implies that an individual has declared his vehicle off the road and is no longer using it on the public roads. This implies that an individual doesn't need to pay any tax or get its insurance renewed. For more details about SORN, please dial the contact number of DVLA at 0300 790 6802.
An individual must obtain SORN in any of the following situations:
1. The vehicle is not taxed.
2. The vehicle is not insured, whether it is due to a delay in renewing in the policy or a long term plan.
3. He wants to break a vehicle down for parts before scrapping it.
4. He has bought a vehicle and wants to keep it off the road (one can't transfer a SORN from the previous keeper).
5. He doesn't need to make a SORN if he has been sent a V11 reminder letter for a vehicle he has already sold.
Viewing information about the vehicle with the DVLA is easy, whether it is the registration date, SORN validity or engine size. All you need to have is a vehicle's make and registration number. If you would like to access any kind of information from the DVLA or need some other kind of assistance, you may contact us at the DVLA telephone number at 0870 025 0121.

text: Mountaineers host EKU today By Tom Bragg December 29, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia will attempt to close the 2012 portion of its schedule with a win and run its win streak to three games today when Eastern Kentucky pays the Mountaineers a visit at the WVU Coliseum.WVU (6-5) has bounced back with wins against Oakland and Radford in its last two games since losing back-to back contests against Duquesne and Michigan.Junior Aaric Murray has made his presence known for the Mountaineers since being left in Morgantown for WVU's trip to play Michigan in Brooklyn two weeks ago.Murray finished with 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in the win against Radford. Against Oakland, Murray came off the bench for coach Bob Huggins to score 12 points and grab 10 rebounds in West Virginia's 76-71 win at the Coliseum. Murray leads WVU in both scoring (11 points per game) and rebounding (7.4 per game).EKU (10-2) enters today's contest with more than a week of rest since beating High Point on Dec. 21. Prior to that, the Colonels had lost consecutive games against North Carolina A&T and nationally ranked Illinois. EKU's 9-0 start was the program's best since the 1946-47 team opened its season with an 11-0 record. Three EKU players are averaging more than 10 points. Junior guard Glenn Cosey leads the Colonels with a 16.1 average while Mike DiNunno is at 14.4 and Corey Walden is at 10.1. On the defensive end of the floor, EKU allows 63.2 points per game and has been forcing an average of more than 12 turnovers per game. The Colonels have been vulnerable on the glass, allowing opponents more than 33 rebounds per game (six more rebounds per game than EKU is averaging).Today's contest is West Virginia's final non-conference game before opening the Big 12 portion of its schedule starting Jan. 5 against Oklahoma in Morgantown before. WVU hits the road on Jan. 9 for the team's first Big 12 road game at Texas. WVU has one non-conference game remaining on its schedule - Jan. 19 at Purdue.Tipoff between the Mountaineers and Colonels is scheduled for 4 p.m. with the game being televised by ROOT Sports. It will also be available to watch online at ESPN3.com.Reach Tom Bragg at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've seen you post that elsewhere as well Eskro - do you find them distracting/hard to set up/useless? Just wondered what got you to dislike them. I've debated getting one of the above cases and would love to hear your thoughts!
I'd like my HTPC to blend nicely on my stereo rack (all black equipment with blue led/lcd's), and the Thermaltakes caught my eye. That said, lot's of other beauties posted on here too!

totally useless...
never look at it...
a pain to setup with XBMC where u need a 3rd party app running in background
to have the screen display stuff like the name of the movie thats playing...
since its a IR receiver too,
forget about easy button mapping here,
its a total disaster...
u dont know which button does what and there's no way to find out....
i've set XBMC to launch at windows startup but iMON Manager,
which needs to run at startup too so your screen lives,
makes XBMC minimize to the status bar...
that annoys me like crazy...
only thing good, if allows power ON from a complete off state.
- DDDamian - 2012-01-06 17:42
Thanks Eskro - yeah, figured they'd be more of a pain. I guess when you're looking at a big-screen TV the little LCD is kinda useless eye-candy lol.
I use a 9" tablet running the official android app for wireless control and it rocks, so I've avoided the IR nuisance. My wireless mouse covers my whole entertainment room as well.
Thanks for your feedback!

The Second Annual Graduate Conference on Religion will be held on October 25-26, 2013.
Information on the 2013 Call for Papers can be found here.
For information or questions regarding the conference, please contact Faye Bodley-Dangelo at email@example.com
The "Graduate Conference on Religion" is an annual multi-day gathering of graduate students studying religion within a variety of disciplinary frameworks. It is comprised of thematic panels that cross religious traditions, academic disciplines, and intellectual and theological commitments. On October 26–27, 2012, eighty students representing twenty-five different graduate programs across the United States and world gathered at Harvard Divinity School to present papers at the inaugural conference titled "Ways of Knowing: A Graduate Conference on Religion at Harvard Divinity School." Presentations utilized a variety of theoretical, methodological and disciplinary approaches to explore epistemic practices and patterns, especially in relation to religious subjectivities, authorities, and experiences. Professor Rebecca Sachs Norris (Professor of Religious and Theological Studies at Merrimack College) delivered the Keynote Address titled, "The Case of the Disappearing Body: Enculturation and Reflexivity as Embodied Knowledge and Means of Knowing."
