White Oak photo studio partners with local academy arts students
Experimenting in the film noir tradition, McKeesport Area art students captured their ideas with help from a White Oak businessman.
At Curt's Photography, academy art students played the roles of detectives, victims, criminals and other suspects as they posed for poster-style shots taken by photographer Curt Painter.
Playing on heightened drama in a classroom mystery, Painter walked students through a series of photographs that will help to illustrate their story line.
"This partnership with Curt's Photography helps to show students there is more to art than painting and drawing," teacher Diana Pazuchanics-Catley said.
Incorporating everything from art history to color psychology or language arts to algebra, she said, academy art projects cover a cross-curricular range of subjects.
"There are digital projects that incorporate math and technology and others that involve science," senior Chris Beech agreed.
The film noir lesson was inspired by a version of "Oliver Twist" that Pazuchanics-Catley watched while brainstorming about the academy art students' contribution to this year's spring musical, "Oliver!"
"Every year, we do an art project that incorporates each character of the play," she explained. "Students will paint the characters from 'Oliver!' and frame them to look like pieces of a filmstrip."
Students will capture digital images of their classmates in character, use Adobe Photoshop to find a unique color scheme and then move on to painting.
Painter said much of his day is spent at the computer working with Photoshop to guarantee his images meet his as well as his clients' standards.
Encouraging students to think about career goals as they pursue their artistic interests, he said, education and experience are important.
While Painter did not attend a formal two-year or four-year school, he participated in photography seminars geared toward specific assignments including portraits and weddings.
He said much of his skill was perfected on the job, learning how to work well with others and experimenting with the art of photography.
"Any business you're doing, if you treat someone the way you want to be treated, you can't do them wrong," he said. "You just have to have the skills to back it up."

Also referred to as "The Celio," Caelian Hill is the southern-most of the great seven hills of Rome. This hill features two high pointsLarger Caelian (Caelian Major) and Smaller Caelian (Caelian Minor)and is divided into two main sections by the Via Claudia: the lower eastern slopes and the west. Caelian Hill boasts several interesting and famous structures. In the east, three churches stand out prominently: San Clemente, S.S. Quattro Coronati, and Santo Stephanus Rotondo, all of which are surrounded by a sea of restaurants, bars, and local shops that offer comfort and a nice slice of Roman culture and cuisine. The narrow roads of this locale lead northwardly straight into the heart of San Giovanni in Laterno, the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome.
Farther west lays the great Temple of Emeror Claudius, surrounded by spacious temple courts. The famous colosseum sits at the foot of the hill where it can be viewed from many locations. Most impressive, however, is the massive aqueduct, which traverses the hill and carries fresh water into the heart of Rome. Tourism into the hill is allowed via walking or bus. The nearest metro stations, Circo Massimo and Colosseo, provide bus trips. Buse 81 is the most convenient, but the Trans Number 3 stops at the lower slopes. Independent treks on foot can bring enough adventure to last for days.

|Fundraising with coffee
Bridgeport Coffee Company is committed to helping schools and nonprofits raise funds for their facilities, operations and special initiatives. We have created a special fundraising program that really works.
How to get started
Experience shows that it is easier to sell something desirable that people actually want and will use than to ask for an outright donation.
To that end, we introduced Bridgeport Coffee Company's special Fundraising blends — delicious coffees that are bought at favorable discounts and sold to your donors at a premium price. The best part is that you keep the difference.
Here's how it works: you buy a 12-ounce bag of roasted coffee for $7.50* and sell it at a recommended price of $11 to $12, pocketing the difference. It is easier to get your donors to buy coffee for $11 or $12 than to give $4, because they see the immediate value of the coffee they receive in addition to the support they give your organization.
It's a win-win scenario: your nonprofit or school receives urgently needed funds, and your contributors receive delicious coffees that they will actually drink and enjoy. Everyone wins!
Now let's get creative
Once your contributors taste our coffees and see that their support is going to a cause they value, it's easier to encourage them to give again and again. After all, no one drinks just one cup of coffee! Day after day, there's always need for another cup of top-quality coffee — and that means virtually unlimited fundraising opportunity.
Consider creating your own Coffee of the Month or Coffee of the Week Club. Your donors could pledge to buy a certain number of bags of coffee per month or year, and they will receive our superb coffees on a regular basis, through you, while also providing your organization with a regular line of financial support.
Once again, everyone wins. Your contributors get the benefit of our flavorful coffees, and your organization gets the benefit of regular and predictable extra funds.
Are these coffees any different in quality or taste than the retail Bridgeport Coffee Company roasted coffees?
Fundraising coffees are identical in roast quality and flavor to our retail coffees. They come from the same batches and are roasted with exactly the same care and attention as the Bridgeport Coffee Company roasted coffee beans you might purchase at, for example, Whole Foods.
How are the fundraising coffees packaged?
Fundraising coffees from Bridgeport Coffee Company are packaged in specially sized packages with special labels. Each bag contains 12 ounces of roasted coffee beans. This quantity of beans delivers the right amount of value to your donors, in that they receive a significant amount of coffee relative to the special fundraising price you charge them. Our experience shows that donors feel that they are more willing to give when they are getting something in return, and that is how we developed the quantity and the pricing of our fundraising coffees.
How are the fundraising coffees labeled?
With a minimum order, we will customize your label so that your donors will always associate the coffee with your school or nonprofit organization. [shown: sample label]
What's the minimum order?
*The minimum order for a fundraising coffee program is 24 bags.
How much money can we realistically make?
Assuming your donors buy 50 bags of coffee, your organization can expect to make $250 per delivery. If they buy 50 bags per month year-round, you can realistically make an additional $3,000 every year. Some of the schools we supply have raised upward of $10,000 since we began the program in 2008.
Which coffees are available for fundraising?
Coffees are available on a seasonal basis.
Bridgeport Coffee blends or single-origin coffees may be available by special arrangement. Call 774.247.3320 to see if your favorite Bridgeport Coffee Company roast can become a fundraising coffee. Chances are, it can!
History of Bridgeport Coffee's fundraising program
In the spring of 2007, a parent from a Chicago Public School asked us to provide coffee for a booth they had at a "green" market. We are often asked to provide this or that for one cause or another, and couldn't possibly do them all, but she was a friend, so we loaned her some equipment and coffee beans" they said, "thanks", and we said, "your welcome, and hope you make a little money for your school", and thought that to be the end of it, but this group of parents was thinking bigger. They asked if we could develop private labels, and we said yes. They asked if we could create a custom blend, and we said yes. They asked how much this would cost, and we said nothing. They got together, gave us some artwork, and placed an order for 50 bags. Sold them all! Guess it makes sense, as where else can you buy such useful items for such an immediate cause. We support the coffee farmers, the rainforest, the habitat of migratory birds, but how about our own children's education"
Here's how it works. You provide us with your artwork. We create the label. Tell us the quantity you want (25 bag minimum). Tell us the style coffee you like. We put the coffee in an all natural bag (biodegradable) with your label on it and deliver it to you. The cost of the coffee is $7.50 ea with a recommended resale of $12. If you sell 48 bags (simple, because it's real good coffee) you net $216.
Private Label/Gifts
We can also produce private label coffee for resale or gifts. Simply provide us with your company logo, and we do the rest. Prices vary widely depending on the quality of coffee you choose.

Thanks for all you do. I am a Filipino and you might have heard about the devastation that recently happened in the Philippines. I am trying to send relief goods to the Phil. Red Cross. Is there any way to solicit from companies? They are in dire need of basic items-canned goods, batteries,flashlight, OTC meds,etc. I'm just starting small but I know every little thing helps. Your site saves me a lot and I am hoping that you can direct me to the right companies to approach.
Not sure if anyone has posted this or not but be on the look out for a Coffeemate $1/1 16oz or larger MQ printing from the cat machines. I got two from Jewel Osco last night. I bought two big baileys creamer bottles so maybe its printing for each creamer you buy? The exp date isnt until mid Jan 2014!

May 1st has brings us some new issues of two online knitting mags: MagKnits, which is now publishing monthly, and The AntiCraft, which has just published their third issue.
The MagKnits May issue brings us eight new patterns including a lovely sweater, socks, accessories and even a knitted teddy bear. I particularly liked Rosalind, the DNA scarf pictured above that uses the "illusion knitting" technique.
The AntiCraft casts off some of its gloom from issue #2 and lets in the love in their third issue. Projects include a great fair isle hat, a crocheted headdress and choker, a knit tunic, and much more. I found the doll heads turned planters particularly intriguing and disturbing.

Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial, 1890-1920 explores the political co-operations and textual connections which linked anti-colonial, nationalist, and modernist groups and individuals in the empire in the years 1890-1920. By developing the key motifs of lateral interaction and colonial interdiscursivity, Boehmer builds a picture of the imperial world as an intricate network of surprising contacts and margin-to-margin interrelationships, and of modernism as a far more constellated cultural phenomenon than previously understood. Individual case studies consider Irish support for the Boers in 1899-1902, the path-breaking radical partnership of the
Englishwoman Sister Nivedita and the Bengali extremist Aurobindo Ghose, Sol Plaatje's conflicted South African nationalism, and the cross-border, cosmopolitan involvements of W. B. Yeats, Rabindranath Tagore, and Leonard Woolf. Underlining Frantz Fanon's perception that 'a colonized people is not alone', Boehmer significantly questions prevailing postcolonial paradigms of the self-defining nation, syncretism and mimicry, and dismantles still-dominant binary definitions of the colonial relationship.
Readership: Scholars and students of Victorian, Imperial, Modernist, American, and Postcolonial Writing
Elleke Boehmer, Elleke Boehmer is Hildred Carlile Professor of English, Royal Holloway, University of London
Review(s) from previous edition"This formidably well-researched and carefully documented book demonstrates the strengths of a complex comparative methodology in postcolonial studies. - The Yearbook of English Studies
"Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial strikes an excellent balance between theory and historical documentation. Boehmer analyses new materials alongside canonical texts, making it a very original contribution to the postcolonial field. Most importantly, it decentres the monologic narrative of imperialism, whose success greatly depended upon imposing a framework of binary opposition between the centre and its peripheries. . . . The book provides us with a fresh alternative, and a possibility of reading resistance between the margins." - Wasafiri
"This book is infinitely rich in detail, but sustains it with a broad and challenging thesis. It invites us to begin to think about the Empire not only as a discrete series of colonial events linked only through their common resistance to the imperial center, but also as a network of interacting nodes in a living and shifting historical and cultural exchange with multiple routings and dimensions." - Interventions
"Boehmer's most challenging and rewarding book to date. Her encyclopaedic knowledge and sensitivity to textual detail . . . combine excitingly with her impressive theoretical dexterity and ambition." - Journal of Southern African Studies

This is a feature where I share some my current favorite things or obsessions including movies, TV, and music. Pretty much things that aren't books.
TV Shows
The weird thing about this one is that I've never watched Sex and the City. I'm not even sure why I started watching this. All I know is that I'm hopelessly obsessed. I love it. I love the characters, I love the story, I love the music. Actually, I think about 50% of my love for this show is the music. I started making an 80's playlist on Spotify because of this show.
I haven't watched any movies in a while, so I'm behind on that. I have plenty on my watch list, though. Maybe soon! Right now, it's just Carrie.
Recently, I went to a show with Ben and some friends of ours. We were there to see Caveman, but we were pleasantly surprised by the first band, Roadkill Ghost Choir. We ended up buying their CD, and I listened to it nonstop for like two weeks. This is my favorite song on the EP.
I've also been listening to Beach House's Teen Dream this week, after mentioning them to a friend the other day. It's hard for me to pick a favorite on that album. I love the whole thing, but I've been enjoying listening (and singing along in the car) to "Better Times," in particular.
Any other Carrie Diaries fans out there? Don't you just love the 80's music? How about the music? Did you already know these bands or did I just turn you onto something new?

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Blissfully in Denial« on: December 07, 2007, 11:59:04 AM »
i'm fairly confident about my score. i did't bomb my two strong sections (RC and LG), and feel alright about the LR sections. the only time i get nervous is when i check the 'Studying for the LSAT' board.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: LG. Was it really that easy?« on: December 05, 2007, 06:26:44 PM »
The reason I personally found them (very) easy was the fact that 2 games had deductions that, if made, made a lot of the questions very easy to answer. One of the games, post-setup, took me no more than 2-3 minutes after I made that deduction, because so much of the board became solved due to it.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: A little levity... Soulja Boy's "Report Card"« on: December 04, 2007, 01:10:02 AM »
Soulja Boy is the most misunderstood rapper on the airwaves right now. I don't think people understand his modernist understanding and use of the medium. Clement Greenberg recognized flatness as a key characteristic of modernist painting in that flatness constitutes a recognition of the limits of the medium of painting. Likewise, Soulja Boy's lyrics and minimalist beats are decidedly modernist in that they push the limits of hip-hop clichés.

Cindy Yost, Senior Design Consultant
Say hello
610.970.0001 Office
610.970.0002 Fax
"I tried to design my master bedroom closet on my own. I stood in front of the display at Lowe's-completely clueless as to how to even start a design. At that point, I called CA closets. A representative came to my home, went into my closet, counted our shoes,suits,long hanging clothes, short hanging clothes and need for shelves. She then opened her laptop and created an amazing design on the spot. How could I say no? It was perfect."
"It was an excellent experience. Cindy did a great job. The installation was done on time with high quality."
"They come on time, actually show up, very nice to deal with, had no mess when they left, and it looked beautiful. Very nice people overall."
I couldn't be happier. You nailed it! I can't believe how beautifully everything fits and looks. Worth every penny.
"I really like them. We've used them before, though this being the master bedroom it was the biggest and I am very pleased with the end result."
"Everyone we had contact with was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and effecient! We are so pleased with our new closets and have already recommended California Closets to friends and family!"
"It had always been my design dream to have California Closets installed. I saw the ads in magazines over the years, and so when I moved and bought a new home it was something I was looking forward to very much. I had Classy Closets in my previous home, but California Closets seemed more elegant in the print ads. From the time I entered the showroom in King of Prussia, Cindy Yost gave me superior service. She guided me through the initial expectations and set up an in home meeting. She worked efficiently and helped me make decisions for the customization of my projects. I turned one of the spaces in my bedroom into a dresser and Cindy even asked for and measured my bras with a tape measure when I told her the troubles I had getting my bras to fit into standard drawers!!! She even measured the cereal boxes I had. In the end when everything was installed, it was not by accident that everything I have now fits PERFECTLY into my spaces. The cost was worth every penny!"
"The planning stage (software) was excellent - it's great to be able to see what my closets were going to look like at the end of the installation.
"The design recommendations were excellent and perfect for our space. The installation was quick and efficient."
"Everything, Cindy Yost is such a professional and so good at suggesting what would work best for our closets"
"Your consultant had answers to my storage questions and came up with an idea design for my space. Also they were very professional at all times"
"Another perfect closet install. So appreciate Cindy Yost and how well she takes care of us."
Nancy and Jan
"The design rep who came to my house Cindy was professional, respectful and competent. She easily assessed our needs. She also stayed in touch to ensure the job was completed to our satisfactory. We even changed something shortly before install and she was able to accommodate us. The installer, Drew, was excellent. He also was professional, pleasant, and competent. He did a thoughtful job installing and cleaned up very respectfully. I was extremely happy. Yes, these closets are expensive but I think you get what you pay for. My closets are much more organized now and they look very nice. I believe California closets is something that adds to the value of your home."
"Our experience was very good. The sales associate was knowledgeable and helpful in planning our the organization of our closets. The installation was done in a neat and timely manner. The installer was on time, neat, professional and explained how everything works prior to leaving."
Suzanne and Jeff
"This is my second time working with California Closets. This time I received estimates from other closet installers and their prices may have been slightly lower it didn't compare to how much we enjoy working with Cindy and the quality of the product."
The Greater Philadelphia Area
Leonardo da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." He was absolutely right. When your house is organized and your storage space uncluttered, you can move through your life with a clear head, never worrying about being unable to find what you are looking for, keeping your mind focused on bigger things.
I've worked with California Closets for over 15 years after studying Interior Design and Space Planning. Experience is important, but every job is different and new, so the best thing I can do as a designer is listen. It's not about measuring and diagramming and planning. It's about understanding what it is our customers are trying to achieve. I want to hear stories from day-to-day life that I can interpret in order to create a storage solution that will fit into their lives seamlessly.
I love to organize and I know that our product makes a difference.
One of my favorite things to do is accessorize a new storage system. I love all of our accessory options.

The Domaine Romanée-Conti is the most rarefied and expensive wine in the world, with vintages that need decades to mature. At a tasting for the 2006 DRCs, Bruce Palling hears one vintage intone "Leave me alone you fool—don't you know I am trying to sleep?"
Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE
March 3rd 2009
The acronym DRC is a potential minefield. Besides Drug Rehabilitation Centre or Dutch Reformed Church, it more commonly refers to the Democratic Republic of Congo or Domaine Romanée-Conti.
The former is perhaps the most misruled, war-torn kleptocracy in Africa, the latter is the most rarefied and expensive wine in the world. My preference is always for the Domaine Romanée-Conti: less sexual violence, more deliciousness.
The wine has a long history. The Romans cultivated this tiny slice of Burgundy a couple of millennia ago, with the Benedictines taking over from the Bishops of Langres and Autun in the tenth century. Its most illustrious five-acre vineyard was purchased by the Prince de Conti in the 18th century; upon his death it was sold to one of Napoleon's bankers. Then as now, only a few hundred cases were produced each year.
But it's not the pedigree that really matters. Rather, it's the calibre of Romanée-Conti and the handful of other wines produced by the Domaine—all in mystique-fuelling miniscule amounts. The First Growths of Bordeaux—Latour, Lafite, Mouton, Haut-Brion and Margaux—produce on average 100,000 cases annually, whereas DRC releases around 6,000—and less than 500 of these are Romanée-Conti. The only other exclusive wine they produce is La Tâche, in twice the amount as the Romanee-Conti, plus portions of Richebourg, Romanee-St.Vivant, Grands Echézeaux and straight Echézeaux.
It's tricky to describe the difference in taste between red Burgundy and Bordeaux. Burgundy is more difficult to grow; only a handful of producers succeed in regions beyond Burgundy itself. At its best, it is floral, mouth-filling and heady, appealing more to the emotions than the intellect. But when off-target it is thin, weedy and without depth, which is why many Bordeaux lovers think it is a complete con (particularly as wines from the same region vary dramatically in price and quality). Bordeaux is more linear and straightforward, whereas Burgundy is more elusive and sensuous. Bordeaux is Bach, Burgundy is Mozart.
So the Domaine's rarity, together with the fact that it is released at prices that are often a fraction of its market value, ensure an unholy annual scramble for bottles. One friend of mine who used to help allocate the vintage in Britain for Corney & Barrow, the country's exclusive agents, said it was often necessary to hide himself for days after the allocations were made to avoid harassment from otherwise polite customers. But who can blame them? A story going round is that one British customer paid for his child's education purely through the sales of his annual allocation. Prices for the exceptional 2005 vintage are astronomical—the entry level Echézeaux is now around £600 a bottle, while La Tâche is upwards of £2,500 and Romanée-Conti nearly three times that.
But like many of life's most trumped up experiences, DRC vintages are not always so thrilling on first encounter. Alas, most are drunk far too young. Great vintages shouldn't be touched for at least 20 or 30 years; lesser ones demand patience for 15. The 2005 DRCs, for example, probably won't even begin to re-emerge until the middle of the next decade. Most connoisseurs will tell you that the earliest vintage that you should drink now is the '92.
I have tasted most all of them probably 50 times. The first serious tasting I attended was 20 years ago, when the DRC's then co-proprietors, Aubert de Villaine and Lalou Bize-Leroy, hosted a dinner at London's Groucho Club in Soho. Only one of the ten or so wines really bowled me over that night because the oldest was only 15 years. Before they mature, DRC wines can be tight and unyielding.
I remember being at dinner with a friend in the mid-1990s; he opened a bottle and asked me to guess the vintage. It was prickly, dense and powerful—I rashly assumed it was a great Rhone—a young Hermitage or perhaps a Côte-Rôtie. To my surprise it was a La Tâche '66! It took more than an hour for it to settle down in the glass, and by then I was acting like a crazed junkie, attempting to wrest a few more drops from the long-emptied bottle.
That remained the greatest wine I had ever tasted until a La Tâche '42 and then a Richebourg '42, offloaded by the Rolling Stones business manager because he thought they must have passed their prime. Even hours after the Richebourg was finished, the glass smelt intensely of ripe plums.
Quite a few bottles of DRC are consumed merely for their snob appeal. A friend of mine was dining at a famous Hong Kong restaurant when he heard a commotion at the neighbouring table. He turned around and saw that it was a group of friends who had opened seven different vintages of bottles of Romanée-Conti for a vertical tasting. They happily offered him glasses of each and every one. My last serious tasting of La Tâche was also courtesy of a Chinese millionaire, who ordered a '93 at the Square in Mayfair. Although it was a tad young there was no doubting its power and quality.
I visted the Domaine last summer, while driving down to the Riviera in the wondrous Morgan AeroMax (even rarer than DRC itself). The actual headquarters of the Domaine is a simple village house behind a high steel gate. This is where Aubert de Villaine and his team do all of the serious work after the harvest finishes in September. De Villaine is a thoughtful, self-effacing man who devotes all of his waking time to the Domaine, a half mile up the hill.
We tasted the more recent 2007 vintage from the barrel, which was thrilling but not revealing. One surprise was a 1988 Bâtard-Montrachet, which I didn't even know they made. Apparently they only produce one barrel or about 80 cases, which they keep for their own use. Despite being 20 years old, it hardly showed any signs of age and could probably benefit with another decade in repose. The highlight should have been the Romanée-Conti, but it was virtually tasteless at this early stage of its life. De Villaine explained that this sample was impossible to judge as it was "still sleeping". When great wines go dumb like this, it is only possible to asses their weight rather than future potential.
So my expectations were duly modest at a recent tasting for the 2006 DRCs at Corney & Barrow, held at the not-quite festive hour of 8:30am. I was suitably alert, despite the time of day and the fact that I had just returned from a trip to India the night before.
It was a tricky vintage, which came right only at the very end owing to intense sun in its last few weeks. In such cases it is down to the skill of the wine makers to bring out the quality of the vines. I was impressed with the way the terroir, or innate quality of the grapes and the dirt, lent consistency to the wines, yet they were each different in expression and nuance. (I declined to spurt such treasure into a waiting spittoon.) I give my tasting notes for the 2006 DRCs below. Anyone seriously interested should perhaps subscribe to Allen Meadows website, as his ability to describe great young Burgundy is better than mine.
Vosne-Romanée, Cuvée Duvault-Blochet (847 cases)
This parcel blends all of the young vines from every Grand Cru, and has only been released four times since 1999. Nose: prickly and red fruit dominated. Almost sweet/saline taste but then completely open and powerful chunky fruit. It would be infanticide, but this could be drunk now with pleasure.
Echézeaux (1402 cases)
Nose: just a hint of fruit buried within neutral odours. Purplish hue in the glass, which indicates a very young wine. Slate/saline/minerally entry. Firm full fruit with not much in the way of lift—just solid dependable quality with virtually no aftertaste.
Grands Echézeaux (783 cases)
Nose: zilch in the olfactory department, which is puzzling. Same slatey opening but then a thrilling sweet/menthol taste, which tumbles along for a considerable time. For the first time, the underlying structure comes slowly though, reaffirming the hotel adage that the best value is never the cheapest room but the next one up.
Romanée St Vivant (1183)
Major League. Nose: only a soft warm hint of red fruit, but its powerful taste shows high-toned aromas underneath. Is it a smell of shortbread or oatcakes? Definitely dry biscuit/cake flavours. A bit clumsy but frankly it is so early that it is merely getting its act together.
Richebourg (909 cases)
Nose: again, nothing doing nosewise. Soaring graceful slightly oriental flavours and slight spices but ethereal already and no hint of a harsh tannic structure. Manages to escape effortlessly at the end of the mouthful and leave a contented veil of what is still to come.
La Tâche (1845 cases)
Nose: the loudspeakers are firmly on now. A much bigger blast than the previous specimens. A massive chunk of power with tannins showing their presence too. Definitely not for this or the next decade. Sticky marzipan with a scorching endnote, it declares "Leave me alone you fool—don't you know I am trying to sleep?"
Le Romanée-Conti (462 cases)
Nose: a stupefying range of delicate flowers in the early spring. As with the rest of the vintage, it features seaside slate/oyster shell flavours. Its entry is so graceful and delicate that it literally sucks the flavour buds out of my mouth, leaving me incapable of comprehension. Could not be more different than the La Tâche.
It will soon be possible to try DRC wines that are not from the Vosne-Romanée region as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has acquired three parcels of Grand Crus in Corton that used to belong to Domaine Prince Florent de Merode. They are not especially renowned wines—they sell for less than £500 a case in good vintages—but there must be some intrinsic potential that has caught Aubert de Villaine's attention.
Diners hoping to enjoy DRC wines at "reasonable" prices should head to Enoteca Pinchiorri, a fine three-star Michelin restaurant in Florence, where they have them going back for more than half a century.
If you suspect you might still be around in two decades time, any or all the '06 wines are worth purchasing. Given the uncertain economic climate, prices for even the great 2005 DRC vintage has edged down slightly in recent months. It also means there has not been a huge rush behind the scenes to speculate in the 2006 vintage—so it may be possible to get hold of some at bearable prices. They'll never come cheap, but then, when you are dealing with the apogee of the Pinot Noir grape, it would be a shame not to try it once.

Cardiovascular disease is leading cause of death, permanent disability
PORT ST. LUCIE - Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and permanent disability in the United States. One out of every five deaths is attributed to it. And adults with diabetes may be as much as four times more likely to have cardiovascular disease and suffer a stroke than non-diabetic adults. Discover your health hazards before they become serious and make lifestyle changes that minimize risk factors and maximize your health.
Any disease that affects your heart and blood vessels is a cardiovascular disease. Hypertension and atherosclerosis are two of the most common of these diseases.
When you have hypertension, or high blood pressure, your heart works harder to circulate your blood. Left untreated, you become a ticking time bomb for a number of catastrophic events, including stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack), aneurysm, and peripheral arterial disease. If your blood pressure is consistently 140/90 mmHg or above, your blood pressure is too high.
Hyperlipidemia means that there are too many lipids, or fats, in the blood. If your cholesterol and triglycerides are too high, you have hyperlipidemia. This can lead to atherosclerosis, a progressive and cumulative condition where fatty materials are deposited in the arteries. When arterial walls thicken and blood flow is restricted, a heart attack or debilitating stroke may occur. Atherosclerosis is all the more dangerous because this chronic disease remains asymptomatic for decades.
Did you know that smokers are four times more likely to suffer from peripheral vascular disease than nonsmokers? Peripheral vascular disease is a circulatory problem caused by narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow to your limbs. Getting a pain in the calf while you're walking that dissipates upon resting is one of the most common symptoms of this disease. Left untreated, you may get sores that don't heal, develop ulcers and infections in your legs, develop a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot), and get gangrene that may result in amputation. Additionally, there is the potential that coronary arteries within your brain may be affected.
Whether hereditary or caused by disease, an aneurysm is the swelling of a part of a blood vessel or cardiac chamber due to damage or a weakness in the wall of the blood vessel. Increased blood pressure causes this bulge to balloon out and grow in size, escalating the risk for rupture. A ruptured aneurysm can cause severe hemorrhaging or even sudden death.
Using an empiric equation that factors in a patient's health risks, such as family history, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, your doctor can arrive at a global risk of coronary heart disease and initiate therapies to reduce the possibility of having a disastrous coronary heart disease event.
Schedule a vascular ultrasound to discover hidden health risks. Vascular ultrasound is a simple life-saving test that is noninvasive and painless, with quick results. This test can uncover your risk for stroke, peripheral vascular disease, or aneurysm.
Other tests for novel risk markers, such as C-Reactive Protein that measures general levels of inflammation in your body and bloods test measuring your homocysteine level and lipoprotein(a) levels that are known to contribute to an increased cardiovascular risk, don't generate better health outcomes or improved cost effectiveness.
A combination of treatments, including lifestyle changes, medications and angioplasty may be recommended. If you smoke, quit. If you are diabetic, it's important to control your diabetes. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Taking an aspirin daily has shown to be effective in preventing myocardial infarction (heart attack) in men and ischemic stroke in women. Unfortunately, only two-thirds of people who have increased risk of coronary artery disease are using therapies that have proven to decrease the risk of cardiac events. Make the commitment to minimize your risk and prevent a major health fiasco.

Escudero tells DBM: Run after those responsible for NorthRail fiasco-A A +A
Thursday, August 21, 2014
SENATOR Francis Escudero wants the government to run after those responsible for the botched North Rail project, which has already cost the government a total of $180 million on top of the $50 million in outstanding loan or a total of P9 billion.
In last Wednesday's 2015 budget briefing of the Senate committee on finance, which Escudero chairs, he asked members of the Development Budget Coordinating Council (DBCC) if anyone had been charged for the scuttled railways project.
"I presumed it was scrapped because of the corruption allegations associated with it. But do you agree, Secretary, that someone should pay for this? We are paying so much for something we did not continue, that the Filipino people did not benefit from," Escudero asked Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima. "Someone should pay for it, someone should go to jail and land in jail for this particular fiasco. The taxpayers are the ones paying this now," he added.
"I fully agree, Mr. Chair. I will have to get back to you on that; I am not familiar on the latest on the investigation of the NorthRail. All I'm familiar with is the financial aspect of NorthRail," Purisima said.
National Treasurer Rosalia de Leon told the finance committee that the government had paid part of its sovereign obligation to China Exim Bank amounting to about $180 million. "But we still have an outstanding obligation. The commercial component to parties is about $50 million," she admitted to senators.
The NorthRail project, an 80-kilometer railroad that would link Caloocan with Clark in Pampanga, was contracted out by the Arroyo administration in 2003 to the China National Machinery and Equipment Corporation (CNMEC) for an original contract cost of $421 million. The flagship project was funded by a government loan of $400 million from China's Exim Bank and the balance to be sourced from the Development Bank of the Philippines.
In 2009, CNMEC increased the contract price to $593 million, with the government agreeing to shoulder the cost of the variation.
The Aquino administration, however, scrapped the project in 2011 after legal questions and allegations of corruption hounded the project.
"What did we get out of this, if any? We didn't get anything out of it, anything usable, nothing. Despite the extravaganza of corruption and wasted taxpayers money no one is in jail yet. With this money, P9 billion, someone should be hauled to jail," Escudero said.
The senator directed Purisima to submit during the budget hearing of the Department of Finance all updates on the legal efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the fiasco.
The controversial North Rail project, started during the Arroyo administration, is a train line envisioned to shift some of the air traffic in Manila to the Clark airport, which was scrapped and was intended to be rebidded out.
The $1.2 billion project was supposed to be financed by a loan from the Chinese Export Import Credit Agency.
The Supreme Court reportedly found the contract to be anomalous as it failed to follow the Procurement Law.
In the middle of the territorial disputes over the Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal, China decided to "call" or "make due and demandable" the official development assistance that it lent the Philippines for the NorthRail project. (Camille P. Balagtas/Sunnex)

It looks like Keira Knightley and James Righton are still reeling from their recent wedding and subsequent honeymoon.
The newlyweds, who walked down the aisle two weeks ago in the south of France, stepped out in London recently both sporting giant smiles.
The 28-year-old actress wore black tights, floral skirt, white sweater and leather jacket as she strolled hand-in-hand with her hubby. The 29-year-old Klaxons musician sported dark pants, tee, gray hoodie and black jacket for the daytime outing.
Meanwhile, Righton recently spoke to NME about the couple's wedding and whether he thinks their relationship changes how people view him and his band.
"I just fell in love with someone who happens to be amazing," he gushed. "We had a beautiful wedding and there was a lot of love. The music is the music. That thing is going to be there because of who she is, but I'd say we're a pretty established band."
Klaxons bandmate Jamie Reynolds added of their nuptials, "It was the greatest day ever, it was fantastic. We're still high from it. It was about two weeks ago, it was a big party."

Sarah Palin Taught Bristol Well
August 05, 2010
[Guest post by Michelle Cottle] God, what is it with the Palin women? Every time they do something stupid, their immediate response is to blame someone else. Forget Mama Grizzly's obsession with the media haters. What is up with Bristol's pity-me puling about her latest split with Levi? Boo hoo hoo, he lied to me about his trip to Hollywood. Boo hoo hoo, he admitted he might have knocked up another teenage girl. Boo hoo hoo, he tricked me into appearing on all those magazine covers with him.
