CDHC pilot program examined in ADA statement
The ADA's Community Dental Health Coordinator pilot project has resulted in the deployment of 18 newly trained dental personnel providing much-needed care in remote rural communities, inner cities and American Indian lands across the U.S.
And that's only the beginning. With support from state governments, the higher education community, and the charitable and private sectors, the Association says there's no telling the extent to which CDHCs could improve the oral health of Americans who lack adequate access to regular dental care.
The ADA released a comprehensive overview of its Community Dental Health Coordinator pilot program today as the fourth in a series of papers that examine the multiple barriers that impede millions of Americans from attaining good oral health. The paper is called Breaking Down Barriers to Oral Health for All Americans: The Community Dental Health Coordinator.
"The Community Dental Health Coordinator model is designed to address barriers to oral health that go beyond poverty," said ADA President Robert A. Faiella.
The ADA piloted the CDHC program in 2009 to help address the many reasons why people do not have adequate access. Working in partnership with dental schools; community colleges; and federal, state and local safety net facilities, the program would educate and train dental personnel who are drawn from the communities in which they work. The concept centered on the idea that CDHCs would have knowledge of the barriers to care that patients in their communities face and would be effective in helping those patients navigate the health system.
"People in inner cities, remote rural areas and Native American lands also face obstacles posed by education, language, culture, geography and other factors," said Dr. Faiella. "Community Dental Health Coordinators come from these same communities. They understand the problems and are uniquely equipped to provide solutions."
The CDHC is primarily based on the public health model of the community health worker, which has been extraordinarily successful in outreach, education and disease management. CDHCs bring the same focus to meeting people's oral health needs, concentrating on disease prevention, patient education, and helping people secure and keep appointments with dentists. As of this month, the CDHC pilot project has graduated 18 students who are now working in underserved areas, and 16 more are scheduled to complete the program this fall.
The ADA paper takes a closer look at the history and status of the CDHC pilot project, including:
- its underlying concept;
- the development of a comprehensive curriculum;
- recruiting students;
- the roles of the participating organizations and institutions in the education and training process;
- how the project is being evaluated;
- the results reportable at this stage in the project.
In a statement issued today, the ADA said that it "has devoted significant financial and human resources to making the CDHC a reality, because it believes in the model and the health care philosophy it embodies."
In addition, the Association and state dental societies are working to encourage state governments, the higher education community, and the charitable and private sectors to begin funding and operating CDHC programs. In 2011, New Mexico became the first state to formally authorize the CDHC through its dental practice act, and the state of Oregon approved the CDHC in pilot form. By following suit, states could improve the oral health of people who currently lack adequate access to dental care and the knowledge that empowers them to take charge of their own oral health.
The Community Dental Health Coordinator is one part of a series of ADA papers examining oral health disparities and how to resolve them. Previous papers (posted at ADA.org/breakingdownbarriers.aspx) have examined the Role of Finance, the Role of Workforce and Repairing the Tattered Safety Net.
Future papers will address such topics as disease prevention, oral health education and why patients do or do not utilize available services. A PDF of Breaking Down Barriers to Oral Health for All Americans: The Community Dental Health Coordinator is available at ADA.org.

Cron, at
The cron and at utilities help automate processes on a Linux system. You can set up automatic backups or even wake up in the morning with a track from your MP3 collection.
In Linux, there is no need to take notes as reminders of tasks you need to perform in the future. The at program lets you schedule tasks right now, and cron handles recurring jobs.
A daemon runs in the background to ensure the tasks are performed according to the schedule. The daemon checks for new jobs once a minute. The daemon for at is named atd, and the cron daemon is called cron(d).

1973 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Review
|by Ulf
"Corvette 73"
For being so old it is a great car. Performance is really good, needs some suspension upgrade to be able to compete with modern cars. It is a really fun car to drive. It does consume some gas so to say.

TELLURIDE – The family business is a family affair at Wizard Custom Framing and Emporium, the co-creation of longtime Telluride locals Jackie and Chuck Arguelles and their children Jessie McConnell and Jarrett Arguelles.
The Arguelleses have operated Wizard Entertainment for the last 12 years, and are now seeing the three-decades-old institution into its next evolution. Jackie and Jessie recently unveiled Wizard Emporium, a gift shop with a locally made and environmentally conscious feeling, in the sub-street level Main Street space that for years served as Telluride's music and film hub.
As McConnell explains, the growth of NetFlix, iTunes, and the like has pushed the rental DVD and retail CD market to the brink of extinction. But that market revolution has only served to push Wizard toward its next chapter, as a locally focused and sustainably minded artisans gallery.
"With the video and music business not what it used to be, my mom and I started brainstorming what we could do with the store, and we finally came up with the emporium idea – the foundation of which was that items we sell here would strictly be made in the USA, and with an environmentally conscious base," McConnell says.
While the store will continue to sell concert tickets and still offers DVDs to rent, the Wizard space has been transformed to provide a platform for many local artists' wares, as well as other handpicked American-made products.
Locally made jewelry comes from Brittany Miller and Shea McWilliams, as well as pottery from Norwood-based Goedele Vanhille. The creative textile art of Danielle Deroberts and many more also grace the shelves at the just-minted Wizard Emporium.
"We really wanted to have a place we could showcase local talent. Artists get a great opportunity during summer with the Farmer's Market, but there isn't a great option during the winter," McConnell says. "We also want to help stimulate the local economy, through this business that allows people to buy local."
The store also sells hand-selected products with an environmental emphasis, such as Mauka Woodwerks, a Fort Collins-based wooden toy manufacturer that utilizes recycled wood and wind-powered tools. Washington-based Glass Eye Studio hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments hold court beside refurbished ceiling tile picture frames from Dryads Dancing. The store also carries a selection of handmade greeting cards, imaginative wrapping paper, hand-dipped beeswax candles, and more.
"Each item we carry has been individually hand made, it's all unique… a lot of thought and care and love goes into every piece that's down here," says McConnell.
Wizard Emporium, which recently underwent a full cosmetic overhaul that exposed some of the historic space's stone walls and opened and brightened the downstairs location, is also home to Wizard Custom Framing – the most recent fruition of yet another longstanding Telluride business.
Father Chuck Arguelles and brother Jarrett purchased the framing business from Michael Spillman, who operated the frame shop in Telluride for over two decades. Chuck and wife Jackie owned and operated the beloved Telluride restaurant institution Sofio's from 1980-2002. After they sold the restaurant, Chuck found himself with a lot of spare time and idle hands, which he ultimately put to use in learning the art of framing from Spillman after he purchased the business in 2009.
Meanwhile, son Jarrett had returned to Telluride from Florida, where he had been building motorcycles as a mechanic at Harley-Davidson. Parlaying his background as a mechanic into the new family framing business proved a smooth transition, and now Jarrett and his father are in the frame shop nearly every day, providing fully customized framing services with a selection of thousands of frame styles and matte colors.
Wizard Custom Framing and Emporium is open seven days a week, located beneath the Shanghai Palace restaurant on Telluride's main street. For more information, call the store at 970/728-4924.

Tampa >Bars & Clubs > The Fox
5401 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360927.945503 -82.534667
Neighborhoods: Northwest
Owner and Managers are RUDE – We went there last night for my boyfriend's birthday. There was about 12 of us purchasing drinks and bringing this place business. We will never go there again. Jazz band was great but if you have any questions about your bill or would like to have an adult conversation with the manager or owner please don't waste your breath. It will just result in overwhelming frustration, followed by complete amazement at being treated as such an annoyance where you just spent $80 on 5 drinks for asking a simple, polite question. This is of course in addition to the $10 cover just to get in the place. The owner was rude to several of us more than once, ruining the birthday celebration. I've never experienced such complete disrespect and have never been talked down to at a place of business. I feel sorry for the servers who did a good job, but unfortunately have to work for such an unprofessional person. The owner's name is Toby Oberon and he clearly has no worry of gaining repeat customers, as he will offend anyone and everyone around him as soon as he begins to speak. Good luck to his staff. Stay away from this place unless you're going JUST for the entertainment of the music.
second chance – I have been to the Fox from its old days to the new days. recently I have revisited the Fox after swearing I would never go back there two years ago. But now with the old owner out and the new owners trying to regain credibility of a nice jazz bar or club for all. It now has a chance to survive.
In the last couple months I have enjoyed the meals entertainment and company and look forward to supporting the new owners and there endeavors to bring this club back to life.
THINK about how you're spending your time and money – Please, if you love and/or respect your wife, your mother, sisters, daughters, friends, lovers...any woman in your life... don't allow your time nor your money in this establisment be spent and wasted. For my black friends and those who are NOT prejudiced against those whose skin is black, I will, not only, NEVER again suggest this place to visit but will be the best advocate I can be.. ..and encourage anyone that holds certain fundamental human behaviors and expectations close to their heart ... to not step foot into this place of business again. Otherwise, we are silently screaming that the gross sexual harrassment of staff by their employer is accepted, that the vulgar behavior/language/attitude/opinion/prejudice is ok. The disappointment is of monumental proportion. It is the entertainment and characters that drew us to return frequently, it is certainly not the quality of food, prices of drinks, hospitality, nor the thick aire of tension in the room... but it was tolerated. It has also been my personal experience to have had my credit card grossly overcharged on a tab not closed out properly. With that said, why would I ever support and encourage any of the above by leaving my money there?
ignorant posters – you guys are ridiculous. of course there is a charge for ice- because with a rock's pour you get a lot more liquor.
Don't ever eat dinner here – The Fox what can I say that?s not bad, well the music and the friends you bring with you. Reservations mean nothing called ahead, requested a booth, which I was told would be available, what did I get a small table. Which by the way was in the middle of the walkway. Arrived at the reserved time for dinner and was seated at the small table. We were the only persons in the whole establishment seated for dinner at the time. All of the booths were open but had reservations signs on them. When the staff was confronted about the dissatisfaction of the seating I was shown the reservation list. My name was at the top of the list with the other reservations at the bottom, guess I got bumped. Service was okay at best but for the prices they are charging the food was below average. So my party completed the meal with the booths still sitting empty. After the supposed reservation time for the booths had passed I again requested to be seated at the booth as I was expecting several other couples to join us after dinner. When they realized that the booth had now sat empty for most of the night we were allowed the privilege to be seated where we originally were told we could be.
Me and my party with out reservation had the largest bill that night and were treated like interlopers.
Yes I will probably go back but it will never be for dinner.
Should be called The Pickpocket – When we made our dinner reservation, they didn't tell us that there is STILL a cover charge for dinner! But you're supposed get HALF back after you eat.
As we were paying the cover, I noticed people smoking at the bar, just steps away from where we would be dining. I asked about this and the hostess said she would check with the manager. But as more people lit up, and purchased cigarettes from the bartender, it became apparent that this is a common practice.
As we ordered drinks, we were asked to "run a tab". What fine dining place takes a credit card when you're there for dinner? The waitress told us "it would make it easier for her".
We nearly left at that point, but it was already late.
The food was good, but not worth the prices they charge. I thought the band was good, but my husband was disappointed that they didn't really play jazz, they just "jazzed up" the rock tunes.
When the bill came, we had to ask for an itemization so that we could check everything. They added a $1.20 "service fee" for what I don't know. I guess maybe we sat too long after dinner without ordering another drink?
Drink prices are STEEP. $12 for a cosmo. $8.50 for Grey Goose PLUS another $1.50 because it was on the rocks and $6.50 for a domestic beer. Even with a $25 gift certificate, our final bill was $70. I only had soup and salad.
Our cover charge wasn't credited on the final bill, we had to ask for it on the way out.
The whole experience felt really sleazy, I felt like they had their hands in our pockets the entire night.
While the atmosphere was nice and the food was decent, we were very disappointed and will not be returning to The Fox.
Horrible experience...pricey....really bad service! – This is an outrageously expensive place. Your choices are very limited as the menu is limited. The food is just okay, nothing to write home about. Do not ask the price of anything. Because, then the service goes form so so to disrespectful. Before I asked the price of the night's special, we had little swords in our drinks and little frills like that. Afterwards, nothing. Be ready to pay $1.50 for ice for each drink as you are billed seperately for the rocks (ice) per drink. The waitress was condescending, The female manager was rude. My friend had to stop and ask why she was being so curt and brass when we were bending over to be polite and respectful to her. Two of my friends do not drink alcohol. There is a two drink minimum that they do not tell you about when you pay the cover charge at the door. So, you can pay $12 for 2 sodas plus you pay for the ice. So, if you do not mind throwing your money in the garbage, this is the place for you. Otherwise, for the rest of us with any kind of sense, stay far away...very far away.
Crowded and overpriced – First, please take note there is a cover charge at the door to eat here. There were five in our group and we ended up being seated at a small table hardly big enough to seat four. You were not allowed to pull tables together so you had to sit apart or cram together at a small table. The chairs where extremely low to the ground and had to actually get up and walk around to stretch my legs. Some of the food served was good although my order, the pork chops were dry and overcooked. The billing was a bit odd also. You are billed for everything in small amounts, .89 cents for bread, $2.00 up charge for food (we have no idea what it was for). You are charged alcohol tax on top of the drink price which was $8.00 (drink) plus an ?up charge? of $5.00 for each drink. When questioned on the up charge I was advised without the charge I would have gotten roughly 2 oz in my glass. Non-alcohol drinks such as coke were $6.00. The bill for three of us came to $136.00 and the other two was approx. $80.00. When you add the $5.00 cover per person you have an approx total of $241.00 and honestly I?ve had better food for a fraction of the cost. The entire atmosphere was good as this was a Jazz bar. The live band was amazing and with the exception of the stage lights going out a few times for no reason it was a great show. If you decide to visit this club I would recommend eating elsewhere and then arriving here for the band, to dance and to relax. Would I return in the future? Possibly if I was out with friends for a drink. As far as a recent comment on here that last time i checked it was illegal to smoke where food is served.
Absolutely Awful – By far the worst experience I have EVER had at any location in Tampa. Went with high expectations that were quickly deflated when we not only had to pay a cover, but were required to order at least two overpriced beverages. My friend, who has never touched alcohol in his life, was required to pay $13 for two sodas. Our group was so large that we required the space of two tables. Not only did the manager/wait staff fail to help us find 1 table big enough for all of us to fit around, the manager had the audacity to tell me that "I was not at Denny's" when we tried to push two tables together. The ambience was very nice, but the service was poor, and the management very trashy. Never again will I visit, and I will suggest to all of my friends that they avoid the place like the plague.
Music O.K. – I thought the place was over-priced and I found it appalling that they posted a sign at the tables "two-drink minimum" in addition to the entrance fee. At around 10 p.m., the place got way too smoky and it became unbearable, therefore, I left. The best thing about the place, and the only thing I enjoyed was the music, although it was too loud if you wanted to talk to anyone.

More than $3.400 million pesos were provided by Bavaria to Colombian entrepreneurs (Translation)
31 August 2010
In the Destapa Futuro entrepreneurship reality
- Nearly $6.000 million are invested each year by Bavaria in its entrepreneurship program.
- With Destapa Futuro, Bavaria has supported the creation and development of 226 companies in Colombia, with high growth potential, generating 662 direct jobs.
Bogotá, August 26th, 2010. Last night, Bavaria, the leading beverage company in Colombia, provided awards to the top entrepreneurs in its social investment program - Destapa Futuro - which gave more than COP1.5 bn to those projects that demonstrated self-sustainability, the ability to achieve exemplary business development and to contribute to job generation. In total, the program provided COP3.4 bn, including the first seed capital disbursed last December; funds that will be used to acquire productive assets, such as machinery, equipment, technology, among other things.
The event was broadcast last night within the framework of the last Destapa Futuro reality show chapter produced by CM&, presented at Canal Uno on national TV since last June 28th, Monday through Friday at 8.30 p. m., before "Pregunta Yamid," and which was hosted by renowned presenter Viena Ruiz. This one of a kind, novel contest gave away the largest prize ever in Colombian TV, which amounted to COP3.4 bn.
"This modality seeks to create awareness among the audience of the importance of competitiveness for corporate development, and the need to go beyond local economic circumstances, in addition to positioning innovation in the agenda", indicated Fernando Jaramillo, Vice-president of Corporate Affairs of Bavaria.
This initiative is an integral part of the social responsibility strategy of Bavaria, which is aimed at supporting entrepreneurship, and that is promoted in Colombia through the Destapa Futuro program of Fundación Bavaria since 2006, the purpose of which has been to promote the consolidation of new and innovative companies in the country.
Karl Lippert, President of Bavaria, said: "The first and most important aspect is that Colombia is a very enterprise-focused society. This is a place where there is no need to explain the need to create a business. In fact, based on the classification of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, Colombia is among the top three countries worldwide for its entrepreneurial vocation. Today I'm glad to say that our collective movement to build an entrepreneurship ecosystem for Colombian entrepreneurs has been made a reality. And this ecosystem is where the ten new businesses that we announced last night will find a place to grow and capture new markets while generating new jobs".
The jury of Destapa Futuro was comprised of Eulalia Arboleda - former president of Banco Caja Social BCSC and current member of the board of directors of Fundación Bavaria -, Rudolf Hommes, former Ministry of Finance and current member of the board of directors of Bavaria and Samuel Azout, former president of Carulla and former member of the board of directors of Bavaria.

Latin American proposals for a sanctuary to protect whales in their South Atlantic waters was derailed on the final day of the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) annual meet by Japan and its allies.
After the proposal, tabled by the 11-nation block known as the Buenos Aires Group (BAG) and led by Brazil and Argentina, didn't reach consensus on July 14, Japan and its IWC allies threatened to walk out if a vote was imposed.
The firm position maintained by the Latin American nations left the IWC Chair, Herman Osterhausen, no option but to call for a vote which prompted Japan and 20 other nations to leave the room. The other nations included Norway and Iceland, several African nations and small Caribbean nations, as well as land-locked Mongolia.
Commissioners and participants in the meeting were astounded: "The attitude of the whaling nations and its allies is absolutely outrageous," said Marcela Vargas, from WSPA Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. "To break the quorum of the Convention in order to block the vote for this sanctuary to protect whales in Latin American waters demonstrates a complete disrespect for the most essential democratic tool to achieve agreements in the world."
After confirmation that it was impossible to reach quorum for a vote, the delegates entered a closed-door gathering for more than four hours, but did not reach consensus. Members of BAG said that the topic remained on the table and that the sanctuary proposal will be discussed in the next IWC meeting, to be held in Panama in 2012.
Lorenzo Rojas, Commissioner for Mexico, said that the whaling countries' attitude was very unfortunate and was unacceptable in international conventions such as the IWC. However, he was encouraged that the proposal will be discussed next year, against the wishes of whaling nations.
"I think the fact that the text that will be in the final report of the Chair is very good, because it will show all the efforts we made to maintain consensus, that we are a majority, and all the countries' names who couldn't respect the democratic procedures of this international body will be written there," he said.
The Southern Atlantic Sanctuary proposal has now been under negotiation for more than 10 years, and during this, the 63rd meeting of the IWC, received the support of almost all European countries, and others such as India and New Zealand.
This IWC meeting also saw the rejection of joint recommendations by the UK government and WSPA to advance the protection of whales.

It works, but it's so thin that I found myself constantly reapplying it. I'd rather have a thicker lip treatment that lasted longer than a thin one that I'm constantly using. I wouldn't buy it again.
This is one of my favorite lip moisturizers I own. It leaves my lips feeling hydrated and moist. It also gives them a nice shine but without overdoing it.
I love it they don't lie when they say lip comfort. I want to have it on all day. I usually wear it under my lipstick or gloss. I totally recommend this lip nourisher it works.
sorry, i did want to like it, but it's just not that great. thin enough to be absorbed quickly, but doesn't last long. at all. and that wouldn't be horrible if i at least felt like my lips were benefitting in some way, and i don't.
I swear by this stuff! If I have chapped lips they can be usually be fixed to the soft beautiful lips after just one use. I use it on my 3 and 5 year old girls lips and by morning their lips are returned to their normal perfection of soft baby lips! I will always buy this product. I highly recommend to everyone!!
I've gone through a tube of this. It has a thin/ watery consistency, so it is not a good idea to wear to bed if you breathe through your mouth. I know it sounds silly, but your lips will be dry by morning! However, it's nourishing enough to wear after exfoliating your lips to give you soft pretty lips. I find that it does work well for priming lips for lipstick and such, but it isn't a miracle worker or anything. I don't think I would repurchase given the price. I feel that the product does not provide a huge difference in comparison to any other cheaper alternative.
My lips get so dry and its hard for me to find something that actually moisturizes them. I have tried so many different products. This stuff is fantastic and, believe it or not, worth the price!
I actually didn't get this product through Birchbox, but I plan on purchasing it here. I LOVE this product. It is not too thick like other lip products, and it keeps my lips soft all day. I wear this every day, so I don't usually put color over it, but it does look great when you do.

On The Cheap
6:01 PM EDT, June 15, 2013
A couple of weeks ago we shared a tip from Doug Burton in Nazareth about planting empty vegetable cans next to your tomato plants to save time and money when watering them.
That prompted a response from South Whitehall Township resident Liz Phillips, who had a suggestion of her own.
"My suggestion, which I've been doing for years, is I take waxy half-gallon beverage containers and cut the bottom off and top off and the center section I divide into thirds," Liz said. "When I plant my tomatoes and peppers, I put one of those sections over the hole, put my plant in and fill it with soil. Then you have a lip right around your tomato plant and pepper plant and you can just water inside the lip for the longest time, instead of the dirt around the plant, so the water goes right to the roots."
We took a trip to Liz's place and made a demonstration video you can check out at http://www.mcall,com/onthecheap. You'll see how this is a good technique for directing water to your plants, especially if your garden is on a slope like Liz's. Watering a sloped garden can result in a lot of waste. And the lip helps you save time on watering since you don't have to slowly drip irrigate. You can fill the lip and let it soak down to the plant. If you try to rush without the lip, a lot of your water will just run down the slope.
If you don't have cardboard beverage containers, you can use plastic ones instead. Just cut them the same way.
Before we get to further benefits of Liz's tip, we wanted to share some feedback from one of our most loyal readers, Bob Stevenson. He got pretty excited about the vegetable can water tip for your tomato plants, which we estimated would save $7.23 over 20 years.
"Saving $7.23 on water over 20 years is a joke," Bob said. "Is that the best you can do? Thirty-six cents a year? Less than a penny a week. Does your boss read your stuff before it goes to press? He must not."
Actually, she does. And she's Italian, so she probably loves tomatoes.
"Now see what you can do to save us some real money," Bob said.
We're glad he took the time to write us such an encouraging note. He should consider a career on the motivational speaker circuit.
Turns out, there is a lot more to these tips than saving on water. Liz explained that her tips also help save on fertilizer, which costs a lot more and can be more damaging if it spreads far and wide. You'll be using less water, which means you'll need less water-soluble fertilizer if you use it.
"You could put your Miracle Gro right in there, too," Liz said. "If you want a bigger reservoir, you could cut the container in half instead of thirds. Just thought I'd pass that tip along for whatever it's worth."
It's worth quite a bit, Liz. We did some number crunching in the On The Cheap lab and figure this tip would save you $246.60 over 20 years. That's enough to help Bob spread a lot more fertilizer.

By JOE APPEL
Outwardly, the Piemontese wines of Nuova Cappelletta are humble. They stand in plain sight on a shelf or list, their pear-shaped bottles and somewhat lax label design a sort of unintentional homage to 1991: neither perfectly clear and modern nor alluringly enigmatic and postmodern. The grape names are listed front and center ("Barbera," "Chardonnay"), but really, these days what does that mean?
Another Barbera from Piemonte? This varietal has become too much the tabula rasa of northern Italy, a malleable sort of fruit that can be vinified cold and quick, in stainless, as a chillable quaffer, or oaked to low hell in an overworked attempt to quell its rambunctious acidity and make it ageable. Less scrupulous winegrowers who play it safe by picking Barbera too early reap what they sow: a green, unsatisfying wine that causes too many people to reach for a purple, unsatisfying Malbec in relief.
When Barbera is good, it makes terrific wine for everyday meals. But there's so much of the mediocre stuff around, and I've been burned plenty of times with restaurant glass pours, so at some point one stops risking it. (Barbera's naturally high acidity has especially good chances to cause quick deterioration in opened bottles improperly stored -- improper storage of by-the-glass wines being standard operating procedure at far too many restaurants.)
And Chardonnay? Come on. The last time anyone drank Chardonnay was 2002. Oh, it's Italian Chardonnay? Great. What Kendall Jackson drinker is going to make that leap? What Burgundy aspirant, in admission that his wallet can't align with his taste, will head southeast in search of a viable substitute?
And what bar manager, sommelier or retailer has enough respect for (or knowledge of) Chardonnay-not-from-Burgundy-or-Sonoma to promote its distinctiveness? Easier to throw a nondescript Argentine or Languedoc Chard on the list for $16/bottle, $7/glass and be done with it. Yet the Piemontese wines of Nuova Cappelletta are distinctive. They stand out in the sea of the generic, with vivid flavors, centrifugal tension, seamless integration, balance and length. I would choose the $10 (retail) Nuova Cappelletta Chardonnay over 90 percent of $15 Bourgogne Blancs on the market (not because it's "Burgundian," just because it's better).
What's especially exciting about the Chardonnay (besides the recently lowered price, a response by its distributor, Pine State, to the disregard it suffers) is that it is currently available in two vintages, 2010 and 2011. Exploring vintage variation is one of the great pleasures of wine, yet because so few people buy wine to hold it, the chance to experience the effects that weather and vine age have on a particular plot of land and its fruit is rare for the non-obsessed amateur.
When I first tasted the 2010 Chardonnay over a year ago, I was confused. I'd brought assumptions (in sum: unoaked Chardonnay from a cool climate is going to be skinny and stony) that were upended. Rich and ripe, lusty and flush, viscous and boldly alcoholic, the wine was a bit much for me. I didn't rush to taste the 2011.
But I did. Much more tensile, saltier and lighter on its feet than the 2010 yet still with this amazing textural grip and overall loveliness, the wine changed my understanding of Chardonnay, and of Piemonte. And it brought me back to the 2010, a bottle of which I'd found in a discount bin (sigh), which remains quite fulsome and loaded but now wears more gracefully some of the bulky clothing it sported upon first release.
The point is, this is really fun. And can be yours for $10 a bottle. (For now.) The Nuova Cappelletta Barbera del Monferrato 2011 costs a bit more (a still realistic $13 or $14 a bottle). The wine pulls off a trick that eludes so many Barbera producers: a rich, concentrated core of dark-cherry flavor, balanced by the buoyancy and expression of health that no Barbera should be without.

Are you undecided about your major or career goal? Career academic advisors are sponsoring a Career Day to help you think about your future and make a plan.
Nov 15 2012 - 12:00pm - 4:00pm
Are you undecided about your major or career goal? Career academic advisors are sponsoring a Career Day to help you think about your future and make a plan.
On Thurs., Nov. 15 (Career Day), head to the Administration & Student Affairs Building (ASA) between 12 noon and 4 p.m. You will be given a Myers-Briggs (MBTI) assessment to determine your personality type. (Plan to spend about a half hour on the assessment.) You will be emailed the results of your assessment, along with a list of careers that people with the same MBTI results enjoy. Then, if you'd like to follow up at a later date with an advisor, you can make an appointment to discuss your results and make some plans toward meeting your career goal.
BONUS: All student participants will have their name entered into four drawings for $50 worth of Grub Bucks which can be used to purchase food and drinks from the Valley Eatery and the Hilltop Grill.

In honor of George Washington's birthday on Monday, here are some answers to some of the most common questions about Washington's life, provided by the .
Did George Washington have wooden teeth?
- He had false teeth, but they were not made of wood. As a matter of fact, the materials used in his false teeth were probably more uncomfortable than wood. In one set of teeth, his dentist, Dr. John Greenwood, used a cow's tooth, one of Washington's teeth, hippopotamus ivory, metal and springs. They fit poorly and distorted the shape of his mouth.
Did George Washington chop down a cherry tree?
- Probably not. The story was invented by Parson Mason Weems who wrote a biography of George Washington shortly after Washington's death. Since so little is known about Washington's childhood, Weems invented several anecdotes about Washington's early life to illustrate the origins of the heroic qualities Washington exhibited as an adult. Introduced to countless schoolchildren as a moral tale in the McGuffey Reader textbook, the parable has become a persistent part of American mythology.
Did George Washington throw a silver dollar across the Potomac River?
- No. This myth is often told to demonstrate his strength. The Potomac River is over a mile wide and even George Washington was not that good an athlete! Moreover, there were no silver dollars when Washington was a young man. His step-grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, reported in his memoirs that Washington once threw a piece of slate "about the size and shape of a dollar" across the Rappahanock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Rappahannock River at the site of the Washington family homestead today measures only 250 feet across, a substantial but perhaps not impossible distance to throw.
Did George Washington wear a wig?
- No. Although wigs were fashionable, Washington kept his own hair, which he wore long and tied back in a queue, or ponytail. He did, however, powder his hair as was the custom of the time.
Is George Washington buried under the U.S. Capitol?
- No, although Congress built a vault under the Capitol building for this purpose. In his will, Washington specified that he wished to be buried at Mount Vernon and that a new tomb should be constructed. His heirs honored his wish, and the vault at the U.S. Capitol remains empty to this day.
Did George Washington free his slaves?
- Yes. Washington's attitude toward slavery gradually changed as he grew older and especially as he fought for liberty in the American Revolution. In his will, he freed those slaves belonging to him (about 124) and his estate paid for the care of former Mount Vernon slaves for decades after his death. At least nine early presidents owned slaves, but only one - Washington - freed all of his slaves. The remaining slaves at Mount Vernon belonged to the estate of Mrs. Washington's first husband and were known as dower slaves. By law, Washington had no legal rights to free those individuals. They were eventually inherited by Mrs. Washington's descendants upon her death in 1802.
How many votes did George Washington get in the first presidential election?
- Only 69. At that time, there was no popular vote for president, only the votes of the electoral college, which was made up of representatives from each state. The 69 votes Washington received, however, represented one vote from each elector - thereby making George Washington the only president in history to have been unanimously elected.
Did George Washington live in the White House?
- No. George Washington was the only President who did not live in the White House, which was not completed until after his death. During his two terms as president, the capital of the United States was located first in New York and then in Philadelphia. Washington played a large role, however, in the development of the new Federal City named after him and in overseeing the design of both the Capitol Building and the White House.
Why is Washington's birthday celebrated as "Presidents' Day"?
- Declared a federal holiday by the government in 1885, George Washington's birthday has culturally morphed into "Presidents' Day." In 1968, the "Monday Holiday Law" was enacted by Congress to provide for uniform annual observances of public holidays. George Washington's birthday is slated to be recognized on the third Monday in February. Soon after the law was enacted in 1971, it was referred to as "Presidents' Day". Ever since then, it was assumed that the holiday was designated to honor Abraham Lincoln or presidential officeholders in general. Officially, however, the holiday has never changed.

Rolf earned Horizon League Athlete of the Week honors three times on the season, after victories at the Crusader Invitational, Boston College Open and the Notre Dame Invitational. She also took top honors at the Evansville Invitational, setting a new Valpo record in the 5K by completing the course in 16:40.33, before crossing the line first at the Horizon League Championship.
Rolf placed sixth at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional this season, the second straight year she has finished in the top-ten at the regional meet.

Men's Soccer Takes Time to Give Back During Off Season
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – This spring, while the University of North Georgia men's soccer program has continued to focus on preparing for next season, the Saints have also spent time away from the pitch to give back to the community with a couple initiatives.
Last month, several members of the team made their way to Lumpkin Elementary School on March 1 where they participated in Read Across America. This was the sixth year the UNG men read to children at Lumpkin Elementary, but it was just as fun as ever for the players and children.
According to head coach Pat Parris, some of the players who don't typically deal with butterflies in the stomach at game-time can be a little nervous when going up against the tongue twisters offered up by Dr. Seus and other children's authors.
"Most of our veterans are always eager to read to the kids and share with them that reading is very important and necessary in our lives," said Parris. "The new members on the team are very nervous to read the riveting tongue twisters to the little ones, but normally after their first read our new players become very comfortable and are eager to read more. We often find ourselves smiling and laughing after this experience. At the end of the day it was a fun experience for all!"
Parris went on to say, "The kids are in awe every year when they get to meet a college soccer player, especially for the kids that currently play soccer. For my players, they get enjoyment from seeing their smiles and their engaging questions about the books. The children are also always intrigued by the international players' accents and want to know where they are from and how they ended up here in Dahlonega. - those questions definitely put a smile and their faces."
Rising junior midfielder Alex Mohammed was one of the players to read to the kids and can see how important it is. "Read across America is a great program to enlighten kids' imaginations and educate everyone while interacting with elementary school kids around the nation," Mohammed said. "It is a great experience for both the kids and athletes!"
Rising senior goalkeeper Kristopher Alonzo had this to say about his experience with Read Across America, "North Georgia soccer strives to become not only great soccer players but also to become men of character. With reading across America, our goal is to motivate and influence as many children as possible. Being seen as role models for the kids, we provide them with information about life and information about college and it's importance. I believe that reading is a major role in succeeding and that is why we go read to the children. Reading across America not only helps the children and gives them some off time from their studies but it also develops us as men of character."
The Saints did not stop there with their community service. A couple weeks later, on Saturday, March 16, the Saint men traveled to a scrimmage in Gainesville, Ga. to support the LSA Soccer Club at the Allen Creek Complex. While there, the Saints participated with several other schools in an event with penalty kicks to give children the chance to interact with collegiate players.
The event asked children to go out on the soccer pitch and participate in penalty kicks on the collegiate goal keepers. Alonzo once again participated and interacted with the children.
"Having kids take penalties kicks on a collegiate goalkeeper is something every soccer player wants as a child," Alonzo said. "They view us as role models and see us as something they aspire to be. To be able to talk to the kids and tell them a bit about the hard work necessary to get to the next level was great. The smiles they received after a goal was more rewarding then anything words can describe. It was a great experience for the north Georgia goalkeepers."

Gorda y más Gorda
We're sitting at the table, myself, Carlos and Suegra. She is telling us one of her stories – puro chisme, of course. This is what she brings back from El Salvador along with the souvenirs, suitcases full of gossip – usually about who died, who is dying, who is sick but not dying, and who got really fat.
"Recuerda la Nia Marí?" she says. Carlos nods. Yes, he remembers her.
"Tiene dos hijas," she goes on, "y qué mujeronas!" Suegra says, "Con las panzas así!"
She extends her hands far out in front of her to show how fat they are. She tells us they look pregnant but they're not pregnant. Then she gestures to me and says, "La Tracy no es nada!"
In previous years, this would have caused me to burst into tears, but I know she doesn't mean it how it sounds. She isn't the most tactful person and she probably thought she was giving me a compliment – but saying, "Those women are really fat – Tracy is nothing in comparison!" doesn't translate well to English, does it?
To make matters worse, Suegra is force feeding me when eating is really the last thing I want to do. (Because although I didn't cry, it did make me self conscious.) Last night she mixed up a jar of Tiste, poured a glass and forced it into my hands. "Drink it, drink it! You'll like it!"
I don't want to drink it-drink it. Tiste is made from corn, sugar, water and cacao, and though that combination sounds horrible, Tiste, full of carbs and sweetness, actually tastes good. I took the smallest sorbito I could, told her it was fantastic, and then handed it off to my older son when she walked away.
Other things she has tried to force feed me the past week: Semita (pineapple cake), Conserva de Coco (sugar coconut candy), and Hot Chocolate – (she had the cocoa specially milled for me in El Salvador.)
To make matters worse, Suegra bragged about how much weight she lost in El Salvador … She does this thing where she sticks her thumb in the waistband of her pants and pulls it out so we can see just how much.
Thankfully, the universe always keeps things in balance – including egos. We went to the Latino market and my favorite cashier (the one who gives me a discount), greeted Suegra enthusiastically. "Where have you been?" he said to Suegra. She beamed, for her absence was noted. "I was in El Salvador," she said. "Ah," the cashier responded, "Maybe it's because I haven't seen you in so long, but you look much fatter!"

jijiji Le salió el tiro por la culata a la querida Suegra! Y qué cara puso con el comentario de que estaba más "rellenita"?
Ah, bienvenida a casa, Suegra. :-) When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malawi (where it is considered to be a GOOD thing to be fat), I once wore this gingham dress I found super-cheap in the market and as soon as my students saw me they were like, "WOW Madam! You look SO FAT today!" (Yes, "fat" not "phat"). Needless to say, that was the last time I ever wore that dress.
Bitter about your Suegra's comment much? LOL! You are too funny in your writing…that is a compliment :-) Antes de que te enojes conmigo tambien, jajaja. Oye, pero en serio, and I could totally picture every scene. I bet you gave that cashier a big old smile as you left…and a tip!
Es que la cosa es así: Una cosa es ser gorda tripuda (como las hijas de Mari) y otra muy diferente ser rellenita. En mi querido pais, las chicas flacas (tipo spaghetti) son un total FAIL. A los chicos les gusta "la carnita" no los huesitos.Les gusta agarrar los "muffin tops"!
Estar "rellenita" es símbolo de estar sana, bien alimentada, fuerte. Así que ser gorda a lo Botero, sigue de moda!
I love your ending, Tracy. Great story! Pero porque soy flaca, digo algo más ;) Todo el mundo tiene su propia belleza en su propia manera. No importa el tamaño. And there is someone for everyone :)
Ayy pero que chistosa esta historia!!! Your descriptions where dead on!!! Qué bárbara Traysi!
She sounds a lot like my s·u·e·g·r·a· with all the chismes and the updates about who´s fat, who´s fatter y pura de esa. Jajaja!
Good thing my "sweter" would never daaaare to hint about mis rollitos. EVER!
Thank you for this great story! Y que bueno qu llegó la Suegra para tener muchas mas!
Hilarious. Way to hold your tongue and do the right thing! I'm looking forward to more suegra stories to help us all learn to be better people.
I usually lose a lot of weight when we go to Bolivia…but not this time.
I also have this very confortable dress that I love. I've threatened to throw it in the trash because every time I wear it, someone asks if I'm expecting. I wore it in Bolivia when we were taking a hike up a mountain one day. While I was giving our info to the guard, my husband was having a little conversation with another man. He smiled at me when we had gotten on our way, "Do you know what the man asked me?"
"No, what?" I innocently replied.
"If you're expecting!"
The only reason I still haven't thrown it away is in case I am one day really expecting, then I can say, "Yes. Yes. Yes."
Hi Tracy, this post is priceless and it just goes to show you how funny the world is. My mom is the same way when giving us "compliments" and usually I just laugh, except when I am PMS-ing and burst into tears for some silly comment.
I've seen your tweet RT by the blog hermanas so I wanted to stop by your site. Love your story and look forward to reading your posts!
Take care,
LOL! Hysterical! I can visualize every aspect of your story very well. About 25 years ago or so, when my wife and I were living together prior to getting married, my mother came to visit us. At one point she looked at Chris (my then fiance) and said/asked in broken English: "you got fat, huh?"
My sister and I just about died! I looked and Chris mentioned that maybe she had put on a little weight; a pound or two. My sister began to chastise my mom that she made Chris feel bad, etc. My mom shrugged and said "pues a mi parece que si engordo un poco." Aaaaghhh!!!
Fortunately, Chris knew it was not an insult. To this day we laugh about it.
But suegra…I can hear that conversation! I love your description of the force feeding and the tiste pushing. Priceless!
Ay Dios! Tracy, it does not sound nice even in spanish what she said! Good thing the cashier helped you out!! Well, welcome back suegra, always good for stories here, we kind of miss her in a weird way!
jajajaj aye las suegras… la mia tambien … she makes remarks where u rnt to sure if there compliments or rude? confusing… lol bt i love the end of ur story jajajajaja its like karma just takes care of it all for u… i am also rofl about her gesture to show u how she lost weight my tia does that all the time lol
I laughed so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes!
Wow Tracy, your Suegra es soooooo rude…That's all I can say for now….yo tambien prefiero las carnitas
I think you should take her to that Latino Market whenever that cashier is working!! LOL
So, the most important question: When is she leaving? ;)
My own mother makes ridiculous comments like that, so I know what it's like.
So glad the suegra is back because I'm sure there will be cuentos galore from now on!!
adm, I can't believe I haven't stumbled upon your blog sooner! absolutely love it! que risa!
LMBOOO!Great story, even better ending! Ahh how I have missed your suegra stories. Awesome! :D
Oh goodness. It all works out doesn't it! ha!

Man has been made responsible for the animal kingdom. As the crown of creation he should treat his subjects the way a good king does. He should care for them, protect them, and be concerned with their physical and spiritual well-being; being aware of the fact that these blessed beings are giving their lives to serve selflessly. Therefore, he should make sure they can continue with their predetermined development. They can only develop when man treats the animals with love and respect.
The World Foundation for Natural Science is concerned with the termination of hunting and the unnecessary killing of animals. We are informing people on the fact that from a scientific point of view there is no tenable ecological reason for hunting, and that nature as it was created by Father-Mother-God is fully able to regulate itself and maintain a healthy balance, without man needing to interfere.
It is also a long-term aim to establish in agriculture a natural livestock keeping, which is influenced by love, appreciation, and gratitude for the service of our friends from the animal kingdom.
