Sparkling season
No, I'm not any more excited than most of you are about seeing Santa Claus and reindeer and decorated trees in the shopping malls at Halloween.
But let's face it: Autumn is here, and the countdown to the holidays has begun. As we move into the season, chances are that we'll be hearing the festive pop of sparkling-wine corks more and more.
After all, as I've often observed, Champagne and other sparkling wines aren't just for New Year's, weddings and Super Bowl champions any more. A glass of bubbly is appropriate not only for festive occasions but for almost any occasion; and a quality sparkling wine doesn't have to be reserved for toasting: It makes a fine match with many a dish on your dinner table.
Although Madame Lily Bollinger, of the Champagne house that bears her family name, had an obvious commercial interest in promoting the stuff, she still pretty much wrapped it up with this often-quoted hymn of praise:
"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty."
I can't quibble with the assertion that Champagne, the real deal from the French region of that name, is hard to beat for quality. The folks there invented the stuff some 300 years ago. But real Champagne is expensive, rarely available at less than $25 or so for the most basic bottlings and easily rising into the triple digits. (I recently spotted Roederer Cristal, beloved of hip-hop stars and the casually affluent, at a local discount shop for a cool $229.)
So, now and then over coming weeks I'll offer reports on a random selection of non-Champagne bubblies that offer good quality for a few dollars, Euros or pounds sterling less. Today's featured wine is one of my favorite alternative sparklers: It's a Vouvray Petillant, a rich, nearly dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire, a full-fledged Vouvray that just happens to come in a sparkling-wine bottle with a full complement of bubbles.
There's a taste of the winter and the holiday season in our Wine Focus feature for November in the Wine Lovers Discussion Group, where we're taking a close look at Port. You're invited to drop in and share your impressions of Port wines you've enjoyed, or to ask any questions you may have about Port, its production, and general consumer advice on buying and drinking Port. Spinning off from the Port theme, our Netscape/CompuServe WineLovers Community is featuring all the wines of Portugal, from Port to Vinho Verde and beyond, as Wine of the Month.

François Pinon NV Vouvray Petillant Brut ($16.99)
This clear, light-gold wine opens with a pop of its Champagne-type cork and pours with a frothy mousse that falls back fast. Good Chenin Blanc aromas of apples and honeydew melon add a touch of "woolly" minerality and just a hint of pumpkin-pie spice. Fresh and bright white-fruit flavors follow the nose, with barely perceptible sweetness cloaked by mouth-watering acidity. Crisp appley fruit and a touch of snappy citrus lingers in a long, clean finish. U.S. importer: LDM Wines Inc., Louis/Dressner Selections. (Nov. 3, 2006)
FOOD MATCH: Its crisp acidity, prickly carbonation and fresh white-fruit flavors make it a natural with seafood and fish. It was very fine with a seafood risotto packed with shrimp, scallops and scrod.
VALUE: At this mid-teens price point, it's half the price of bottom-end Champagne, and is frankly a more complex and refined sparkling wine than most non-vintage Champagne house cuvees.
WHEN TO DRINK: There's no reason not to enjoy it now, although the combination of quality Chenin Blanc and well-made sparkling wine suggest that it could gain richness and complexity with several years under excellent cellar conditions.
Here's a fact sheet and photo about François Pinon Vouvray Petillant Brut from importer Polaner Selections. You can link from here to fact sheets on both the Petillant and regular Vouvray.
I got mine from Chambers Street Wines in NYC, which currently shows a supply available.

The 38-year-old suspect accused in Saturday's deadly hit-and-run on the Venice boardwalk had a history of arrests in Colorado and Florida, including an April 2008 reckless driving arrest involving alcohol in Panama City Beach, Fla.
Times reporter Hailey Branson-Potts will join L.A. Now Live at 9 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the latest on the investigation.
Witnesses say Nathan Louis Campbell appeared to deliberately target pedestrians as he tore through crowded Ocean Front Walk in a Dodge Avenger, sending tourists and vendors diving for cover. Alice Gruppioni, a 32-year-old Italian tourist who in California on her honeymoon, was killed. Sixteen others were injured.
PHOTOS: Pedestrians hit on Venice boardwalk
Authorities said Campbell turned himself in to Santa Monica police shortly after the incident and was arrested on suspicion of murder. Sources familiar with the investigation said he made statements at the time of his arrest implicating himself but did not elaborate on what specifically he had said.
He came to Los Angeles less than a month ago after purchasing the car from a dealership in Littleton, Colo.
Campbell lived in Hollywood nearly two decades ago, staying on and off for a few months at Covenant House, which provides services and housing for homeless youth. It's unclear how he spent the years in between. Aside from a string of petty crimes in Colorado and Florida, little is known about him.
Public records showed Campbell had lived in Georgia, Florida and most recently Colorado. The records also showed that Campbell had a history of arrests in both Denver and Florida.
Sources familiar with the investigation said detectives were focused on the months immediately leading up to Saturday's incident and whether any major life events could help explain his actions.
The sources said Campbell had a history of drug and alcohol addiction, but did not elaborate. They added that he had been clean and sober for some time but had recently relapsed.

Granted, there's a reason it's not called the North Face Endurance Fun Run.
Ninety-degree heat, extreme humidity, and three mile-long passes along a cliff so rocky it required more tiptoeing than running helped to ensure that my first 50-miler, part of the North Face Endurance Challenge, lived up to the name.
Let me tell you: This race, which ran through the woods and along the cliffs of the Potomac river, was really hard.
But—believe it or not—it wasn't that hard.
Why It Wasn't So Bad
Maybe it was that I ran a smart race and paced myself well, staying with a more experienced ultrarunner (thanks Seth!) for the first 20 miles or so. Perhaps it was seeing a familiar face, either my family or someone I'd met online, at 11 of the 13 aid stops. Maybe it was good hydration, salt intake, and a solid eating plan. It could have even been the Coke and Mountain Dew, which I had never tried in training but that I finally came to understand why ultrarunners love so much.
More than any of these, though, I think it was having a good friend pace me for the last 15 miles of the race.
Everyone told me that miles 30-40 would be the part where I'd want to quit. But after 30 miles, about as far as I'd ever run in training, the anticipation of meeting my friend and moving onto the final section of the course kept me going. And once we met up at mile 35, the adrenaline rush made the next five a breeze, probably my fastest miles of the race.
Only after 40 miles did things start to hurt, and by that point, knowing I was 10 miles from such a huge accomplishment made it bearable.
Don't get me wrong—it hurt. Running for ten and a half hours in the brutal heat will do that to you.
But it was doable. That's what I hope you take from this recap, if you've never considered running an ultra because it seems almost superhuman.
It's not superhuman. Normal people like me—and like you—can do this.
Miles 1-15: Soaking Wet from the Start
When I stepped out of my hotel at 3:30 in the morning, it was already humid. By 5:30, having been running for only half an hour in the dark, I was drenched in sweat.
My biggest fear going into this race was that I'd start out too fast and realize I was in big trouble with 20 or 30 miles still to go. Thankfully, I was there with a far more experienced ultrarunner. This guy has run not just several 50-milers, but a 100-miler. (Yes, you read that right: 100 miles, over the course of 26 hours.)
Knowing he'd run a smart pace (11-12 minutes per mile), I stayed with Seth for the entire first leg of the race. These miles were uneventful, with the exception of a blister that I felt developing on my right foot. As we ran some quiet trails in the early morning along the river, I counted down the miles until 15, when I knew I'd see my wife and my dad and be able to change out of my trail shoes into my more-comfortable road shoes.
Miles 16-35: The Loop (and Some Scary Cliffs)
The signature section of the race was a seven-mile loop that took us right along the Potomac river, where we literally had to jump from rock to rock, about five feet from the edge of a hundred-foot cliff that dropped straight down to the Potomac river.
It was beautiful, challenging, and fun—the first time.
The second two times, this "marquee section" became "those f'ing rocks in the blazing heat where a single false step could quite literally kill me." Seriously, I had to step close enough to the edge that when I saw Erin again, I didn't tell her just how close it was, because I knew she'd worry about me losing my mental faculties and ending up in the river going over the Great Falls the third time around.
After the first pass through the rocks, I felt my legs tiring for the first time. With 28 miles still to go, this scared me a little. But I bounced back, running the second loop in an hour and 22 minutes, four minutes faster than I had done it the first time around. And the third loop was on par with the first, the fatigue starting to set in as I realized I had been running for seven straight hours—a full hour and change more than I had ever run in my life.
Still, I felt great, considering the circumstances. I had expected that at this point, with 15 miles to go, I would hate running and be cursing myself for being so idiotic as to do this, voluntarily no less.
And yet I didn't hate running. Somehow, I was still having fun.
Miles 36-50: The Hard Part
At the mile 35 aid station, I picked up my friend and pacer, Pat. Pat was my roommate in college, and one of three guys in the ill-fated crack-squad who back in 2002 decided we'd pick up and run our first marathon. That race wasn't pretty for any of us, but Pat keeps in shape and is the type of guy you can count for this kind of stuff, as well as for world-class entertainment along the way.
So when all the sudden I had someone to run with—Seth and I had separated when I took my sweet time at an aid station—I got a major boost. Pat and I flew through about five miles of trail with the idea that we might be able to make it back in under 10 hours.
Right around the 40-mile mark, though, I started to feel as if—well, as if I had been running for 40 miles. Mostly it was my legs that wanted to quit; everything else, including my mind, felt pretty good. But as we hit the hills that I had barely noticed on the way out (even the downhills sucked, by this point), I started to realize that 10 hours wasn't in the cards on this hot day.
This was solidified when, during a seven mile stretch before the aid station at mile 42, we came upon a guy who was staggering back and forth, ready to fall into the head-high grass on the side of the trail. It was obvious he was in trouble; the heat and distance between aid stations had gotten to him. While someone else ran ahead to the next aid station to send help, we and some other runners waited with him and gave him water, salt, and food. Help came in time, and we were surprised to see the guy eventually cross the finish line.
10 hours was officially out the window. But it probably would have been anyway.
At least seeing someone in such rough shape taught me a lesson: Be prepared for the worst. When we got to the aid station, even though I was sure I could make it to the next without filling up my hydration pack, I refilled anyway. As this guy had shown, you never know how quickly things might go south.
With eight miles to go and only a flat section of the course remaining, I did everything I could to soak in the moment and enjoy the certainty that I was going to finish this thing. My legs did their best to temper my enthusiasm, but we ran almost the entire remaining distance, stopping only three or four times to walk, when I absolutely needed to.
Finally, we hit the aid station that marked 1.7 miles to go. I had run 48.3 miles, and that felt pretty damn good (no matter what my legs were saying). The moments just before you achieve something pretty spectacular that you've been working at for a long time, when it's a near certainty, are surreal and indescribable. The closest thing I've felt to this was the final .2 miles of the Wineglass Marathon, when knew I had qualified for Boston.
As we turned the final corner and could hear the music and the crowd cheering, I told Pat that he had better not try to drop back at the last minute to let me cross the finish line alone. And even though I didn't mention it at the time, for fear of having my man-card revoked, I got a little choked up as I told him that he had better stay with me as I crossed the finish line.
And then I heard Erin yelling, even before I could see her. I crossed the line, where my mom and dad were standing taking pictures and cheering, and it was over. Fifty freaking miles, in just under ten and a half hours.
What I Ate
I did my best to keep track of what I ate during the race, in hopes of being more scientific than in the past about what works and what doesn't.
My strategy was to eat slower-digesting starchy carbs and fats early on when my stomach was in good shape, and to shift toward simple sugars for a kick as I neared the end of the race. I must say it worked pretty well; the only hitch was that the heat made almost everything but water unappetizing, so I ate less solid food than I had planned to.
Here's what I ate before and during the race:
- Half a bagel with peanut butter
- Two pinole-chia waffles with maple syrup
- A few tablespoons of chia seeds in water
- One orange
Miles 1-15:
- Handful of almonds
- Three small boiled potatoes with salt
- Orange
- Water with lime juice
- Electrolye Brew (the sports drink at the aid stations)
- Salt tablets
Miles 16-35:
- Half a pita with hummus and lettuce
- One orange
- Half a bag of M&M's
- Banana
- Nectarine
- Coke
- Mountain Dew
- Ginger ale
- Electrolyte Brew
- Nuun Electrolyte Drink
- Water
- Salt tablets
Miles 36-50:
- Peter Rabbit Organics fruit puree (I found this at Starbucks)
- One small potato with salt
- One orange
- Water with lime juice
- Coke
- Electrolyte Brew
(Told you the soda was good.)
It seems that the longer the race is, the longer the thank-you list gets.
First, my personal support crew: Pat, Erin (who carried our seven-week son around all day), my dad, and my mom, all of whom drove a long way and put in an even longer day to make mine easier. Counting down the miles until I'd get to take a five-minute break with them got me through this thing.
Next, the volunteers who worked the aid stations for all four races that happened on Saturday. In particular, Andy Campbell, who wore his No Meat Athlete shirt to support me, Heather, who I saw three times since she was working an aid station on the loop, and Andy Gingrich, who was nice enough to shake what must have been a disgustingly sweaty hand of mine at mile 46, and to help me realize just how close I was to being finished.
Some fellow runners I ran into along the course who said hi and made it just a little bit easier, Thomas and Delip.
And of course, Charm City Run and The North Face for allowing my to run this fantastic race gratis.
Thank you!
Surprisingly, I didn't feel the need to collapse and take a nap in my own filth immediately after finishing the race. I'd say I was more tired immediately after qualifying for Boston than after the 50 miles.
What I did feel was feverish, with sporadic bouts of chills, for about six hours after I finished. I suspect this had to do with my body temperature being elevated for such an extended period of time.
After that, I started to feel like I'd been hit by a train, and all I really wanted to do was lie down under blankets. I wasn't very hungry, but I did what I could to eat some solid food.
On Sunday I felt surprisingly good. I was sore, but no more so than after a marathon or 50K. By the end of the day, I caught myself running up and down the steps like I always do, simply out of childish impatience.
So what's next?
The Vermont 50-miler in September, for sure. As I was running miles 40 to 50, another 50-miler seemed like a pretty crappy idea. But now that I'm done and in a better mood, I'm glad I registered for this one before I had even finished my first. Should be a lot of fun, and 50 degrees cooler would be nice.
And the Boston Marathon in April 2011.
Other than that, it's wide open.
The natural next step after another 50 or two, I suppose, is a 100-miler (if there's anything natural about that at all). When I finished this race I briefly thought, "If I had to do that entire distance again right now, I'd die." But I thought the same thing the first time I finished a marathon, too, and a 50 is pretty damn close to two of those.
So I don't know about that yet. Let's just say the seed has been planted, and leave it at this:
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. -Oliver Wendell Holmes
That's what proving to myself that I'm able to run 50 miles has done for me. I encourage you to find something that will do it for you.

Feral Sins
Taryn Warner is a wolf shifter with extraordinary healing skills - and serious problems. First, her father is determined that she mate for life with a wolf shifter named Roscoe Weston, whom the feisty Taryn can't stand. To make matters worse, she's also been kidnapped by Trey Coleman, a dangerous alpha male from another pack. And as much as she wants to resist Trey, Taryn is incredibly, maddeningly attracted to him. When he makes her a tempting proposal that will benefit both of them, the strong-willed healer has to decide whether escaping an unwelcomed bond with Roscoe is worth the risks of mating with Trey, no matter how temporary their allegiance is intended to be.

Surprised they didn't check my ID
This is not the first time I've looked over at my partner in the middle of a book and declared "This is Porn....", but this is probably the best time.
Usually books like this one, that are beginning to redefine both paranormal fantasy and the bodice ripper genre, are written so that I just want them to be over with so I can enjoy the good bits and stop cringing in between. Not true of this story!
There was enough interesting plot and non relationship tension to make this book a book I would have wanted to read even if it hadn't been for the INCREDIBLY steamy scenes between the two leads. There were also quite a few very funny lines and quips.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was that some of the secondary characters veered pretty far into "stick figures with a schtick" territory. Most of the time this was still fairly amusing, but sometimes I just really wanted them to shut up.
Jill Redfield did a great job of bringing across the main characters voice, and reading the steamier bits without distracting from what was going on. I always feel like the best narrators are the ones you don't notice, and so I guess she did a great job, because she only made the story better.
Overall, totally worth my credit, but I will not make the mistake of listening to any more of her books with my car windows down again! Hi Kids!

You'll Bark! You'll Howl! You'll Tell the Pack!
Wow! Paranormal lovers, remember this name: Suzanne Wright! I'd never heard of her before, but I've already started seeking out other work by this author. This book was unexpected and amazing. While it stays within the paranormal genre, it still felt fresh, in large part I think due to the fantastic characters.
Our heroine Taryn is sassy, sarcastic and often just plain rude. This is not, I suppose, unusual in the paranormal romance genre, and these very traits, more often than not, make me grind my teeth in frustration. Often these smart mouthed heroines sound like spoiled teenagers trying to prove they are tough, but that's not the case with Taryn. Somehow, Suzanne Wright makes it work. Taryn's dialogue comes across as witty, her sarcasm is more often than not hilarious.
Trey is an alpha male you can believe in. He truly follows his wolf instincts, and I really enjoyed that. No simpering human in wolf's clothing, Trey is all beast and brawn when the need arises. While it's true that, in this book, the heroine steals the show, she doesn't do so without a good deal of help from the hunky hero.
Yes, the sex is hot, and not for the faint hearted, but it is meaningful and well balanced in this book. While there's a good deal of hanky panky going on, it doesn't feel like a book full of unnecessary sex scenes, nor does the sex get repetitious as it does in some books. It flows naturally with the story line, and that is a rare thing indeed.
Jill Redfield, oh how do I sing her praises? Her pacing was excellent, and I really enjoyed her portrayal of Taryn. When reading humour, timing and delivery are everything, and she handles Taryn's character phenomenally well.
If you like paranormal romance, chances are you're going to love this book!

This one is FANTASTIC!!!!!
You know its a good book when you are grinning at the book by the time it gets to the second or third chapter. You know its a notch above good when you start checking the time left on the book (even before you get through the first part) and hoping that there was still lots and lots of time left! Yep, its officially the best book I have listened to so far this year. Terryn and Trey, as a couple just make me grin.
Not only was Suzanne Wright a wonderful story teller, but Jill Redfield is one of the best narrators I have ever listened to. There were times when I found myself wondering if the narrator was a male or female. When that happens, you have got to know she's good.
Oh and by the way.....lol......I am not even through with the book yet!!!! Headed to Amazon to see if she has written anything else :)

It's very hot - some reservations though
What did you like best about Feral Sins? What did you like least?
OK. I have to admit that this novel is very hot. The sex is very hot. The story is actually not too bad for a typical paranormal erotic romance novel. (I don't like formula novels - it's a love-hate thing for me. I am a romantic, but I don't agree with most of the formula story lines and long for stories that are more original.)
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
No comment, really. It's pretty easy to predict what an ending will be in this kind of novel.
Have you listened to any of Jill Redfield's other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't think I've heard her before. The narration was very good.
Did Feral Sins inspire you to do anything?
Um, well. I don't think I'll discuss it in public!
Any additional comments?
I was bothered by the possession / dominance of the story. This seems to be typical in most romance novels. Personally, I don't get it and I'm disturbed by the encouragement of painting women as being strong ---but in the end want to find a man to submit to and even if they verbally say they don't want something in the end they really do. This one really pushed that far with the whole Alpha Wolf male. I often found myself feeling a bit creeped out.

What a hoot!
I just loved this story, its not for the sensitive. The sex scenes and dirty talk might put some off. But it didn't worry me. Both characters are strong minded, strong willed and fierce, so floaty frilly bedroom scenes wouldn't have worked. Tarryn had me in tears with her snarky comments. The bit with the elephant, then calling the stupid she wolf an STD but best of all was telling Greta to pull her lip over her head and swallow. It was too good.
Both characters have dealt with their respective traumas and its moulded them into shifters not to be underestimated. The pack members are a cohesive unit but filled with delightful characters.
The narration was seriously good too, Suzanne Wright has another book in this series, plus some vamp offerings. I hope these get recorded. I can't wait.

I took a chance on this and I'm soooo glad I did - it captures you from Chapter 1 as Taryn, a fiesty Latent Werewolf (a Wereshifter who cannot shift), is kidnapped and made an offer she can't refuse by Trey, a mouthwatering sexy Alpha with attitude, (every good wereshifting book should have one) and the story heats up from there.
They have to deceive her father and her pack into believing that she and Trey are soul mates but in order to do this they have to go through some of the 'claiming' rituals (ahh shucks poor things!). It all backfires because they are lustfully attracted to each other and there's lots and lots (and lots) of sexual verbalisations about what he is going to do to her........ and BEWARE they are all graphically carried out.
So, if you're looking for a riveting hot paranormal romance that has strong kick-ass characters, lots of action, great sarcastic one liners that are so funny, an interesting addictive and well written plot with a few twists and, if that's not enough for you, then top it off with a talented narrator that brings to life a Wereworld that, once you visit it, you just won't be able to stay away - so I can't wait for Wicked Cravings Dante's story to come out.
Worth a credit? YES (even 2) - but my 'under $10 rule' of just buying it applied and I saved my credit for a more expensive (but maybe not so worthy) listen.

Okay first off let me say the narration is done by the same woman who does Sylvia Days Crossfire series, so this book had me at word one, thank goodness there was an awesome plot to go with the great narration!
Secondly, I have to warn you, or entice you, that this book is full of vulgar hot steamy graphic scenes...which was great for me, but some people really don't like that, consider yourself warned!
The last warning I feel compelled to share is that if you don't like the B word when directed at a female then don't get this book, it is used about 1000 times, often in the appropriate context in my opinion but also as a word of endearment....I have a friend who would love the context of this book but hates that word so much I wouldn't recommend this book to her, what can I say it's her loss.
Great female lead, strong underestimated alpha females are always cool! Male lead is also an alpha, and in typical male fashion he is clueless as to how to handle this strong non submissive alpha woman, which makes for hot scenes, and a hot story.
I got this book during a sale, but I have to say it would have been worth a credit too! Can't wait to see the next one!

Fun Story, Porno Sex Scenes
This was an enjoyable listen - the actual story was engaging and the narration enhanced the story.
However, anyone looking for romance should probably skip the sex scenes. While well written -- and they are well written -- the acts depicted read more like rape fantasy enactment pornographic sex than romantic sex. I believe the kink community calls it "consensual non-consent". There's also a male on female sodomy scene that's just as graphic as the rest of the sex. If those hit your "off" spots, fast forward is you friend - the rest of the story makes up for it.
And in case you're wondering, the difference between porno sex and romantic sex is (1) how much the sex is about physical satisfaction versus emotional satisfaction, and (2) whether there's any lead up to the sex (as in, enjoying the skin-to-skin for it's own sake) or just wham-bam, let's get to the money shot, scream-for-me-baby.

Sooooo.. enjoyable (4.5)
This is the one if you like humor, sex and a paranormal plot. This is not for you if you have any problems with raw, sexual language—though I've eagerly listened to more and, thus, find the amount here not much—and humor through snide interplay or insults between characters. For some, the heroine could be irritating b/c she's very, very snide and so determined to appear bigger in nature, what some would call a hard a**. But I enjoyed her. It's also a love story that's plausible. I was sad to see there are no other audible books by this author. I really enjoyed this book, including the narrator. Her work was not the best I've heard, and I've heard a looooooooot of books. But she worked well with this content.

Story? Handlung?
14 Stunden mehr oder weniger detaillierte Sexszenen, dazwischen ein paar oberflächliche Unterhaltungen, mini Handlungen "sie wurdet übetrfallen, er hatte angst um sie und musste erstmal sein Geschlechtstei in ihr versenken". Das Ganze etwas dreckiger und leicht bdsm angehaucht. ..
Die Sprecherin ist super, daher noch 3 Sterne. Die Sexszenen waren unterhaltsam, mehr aber auch nicht.

Not so much Sex after all
I feared the worst but ... There are aproximately 3 sex scenes within the first 4 hours of this books - not sooo much after all. ;)
The speaker does a good job - I was glad to see she's done the next book as well. I could almost see Taryn and Trey's grandma in front of my inner eyes while bantering in the kitchen.

Other featured artists are John Lyell; Broekhuis, Keller and Schonwalder, Meg Bowles, Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms; Hollan Holmes; and Nimanty and Solarsoul.Host Stephen Hill describes the program in this way: In summer, the energy of the sun seems more intense. But the sun is a nuclear furnace that never stops, and the sun's corona is so hot that high energy particles there reach escape velocity, flying into space at over a million miles an hour in a stream called the solar wind. Made of ionized atomic particles and magnetic fields from the sun's corona, the solar panels is spun into a spiral as the sun rotates every 27 days. Here on earth, variations in the sun's magnetic field carried by the solar wind create auroras the northern and southern lights the plasma tails of comets, and geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids.

BOSTON, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's track and field team turned in several good performances in their second and final meet of the fall semester, the Harvard Open at Gordon Track Saturday. No team scores were recorded at the meet.
For the women, sophomore Katie Sheehan (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) broke the school record, finishing first overall in the mile in 5:09.3. Freshman Michele-Le Miranda (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) also set a school record in the seldom-run 300 meters, finishing in 33.87 seconds. Senior Jamie Zizza (Stoneham, MA/Stoneham HS) tied for fifth in the high jump at four feet, 11 inches, while junior Ezra Banks (Boston, MA/Newton South HS) ran 55 meters in 7.44 seconds to qualify for the finals, then ran 7.69 and finished 15th overall.
Among the men, sophomore Matt Hinthorne (Braintree, MA/Braintree HS) set a school record when he was first in the 600 meters in 1:21.76, while senior Gerald Arneaud (Dorchester, MA/Newton South HS) set a school record at 300 meters when he won his heat and finished sixth overall in 36.38 seconds. Freshman Brendan Jarousky (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) was seventh in 36.66. Sophomore Aaron Amado (Randolph, MA/Thayer Academy) was sixth in the high jump at 6-3 ¾, junior Zach Switaj (Tamworth, NH/Kennett Regional HS) was fifth in the mile in 4:23.25, and sophomore Matt Ferro (Halifax, MA/Silver Lake HS) was sixth at 800 meters in 1:57.91.
"Considering how long the meet was, we had some very good performances," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "We broke several school records, and had some strong performances in a large field that included schools from all over New England. It was a pretty bid meet. Now we're in good position to break for finals, and come back in January."
The Corsairs will break for the semester, returning to action when they travel to Tufts January 12th.

The road to becoming the next U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary got a little bumpy for Sylvia Mathews Burwell on Wednesday as she was peppered with a series of pointed questions on a wide range of issues during her second Senate nomination hearing.
After breezing through a similar hearing last week, Burwell, who heads the White House Office of Management and Budget, faced tougher questions from the Senate Committee on Finance which will ultimately vote on whether she succeeds Kathleen Sebelius as HHS Secretary.

Burwell, President Obama's nominee, has broad support from Democrats and Republicans on the committee and is expected to be confirmed by a wide margin.
But GOP members like Sen. Charles Grassley, R-IA, who were alienated by Sebelius' failure to respond to their information requests, made it clear that if confirmed, they expect Burwell to be much more attentive.
"You have a fresh start with Congress and with the public, but if you're going to make the most of that opportunity, you're going to have to do things differently than they've been done," Grassley told Burwell.
Citing Medicare administrator Marilyn Tavenner as an example, Grassley said she, like Burwell, had pledged to be responsive to committee members.
"Now it seems like she's gone into the witness protection program, it's been so long since she was last in the (witness) chair or at my door. I hope that doesn't happen with you," Grassley told Burwell. "I hope you don't disappear into the same bunker."
After receiving glowing praise during introductions from Senators Tom Coburn, R-OK, and John Rockefeller, D-WV, Burwell addressed issues ranging from the potential misuse of powdered alcohol by minors, whether affluent seniors should pay more for their Medicare coverage and whether states with poor-performing insurance marketplaces should repay the federal government millions of dollars they received to develop the systems.
Burwell promised Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the committee ranking member, that if state marketplace funds were misused, "we need to use the full extent of the law to get those funds back for the taxpayer."
She told Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, that she'll find out why the Food and Drug Administration hasn't weighed in on the issue of powdered alcohol. "I will understand it further if I am confirmed," Burwell said.
And she got into a dispute with Sen. Rob Portman, R-OH, who wanted to know if Burwell would support a proposal in President Obama's 2015 budget to have wealthier seniors pay higher Medicare premiums as a way to shore up the program's finances and reduce the federal deficit.
Portman said he supports the proposal as a stand-alone measure independent of the president's budget.
Burwell said she too supports the measure, but only as a part of a combination of remedies to address the deficit, which includes corporate tax reform. "These things are on the table, but we also believe revenue has to be a part of the conversation," Burwell said.
Portman disagreed, saying it would be difficult to get any long-term deficit reduction agreement through Congress that raises taxes. "The logic doesn't seem to fit for me," he told Burwell.
The finance committee is expected to vote on Burwell's confirmation after receiving written responses to their additional questions.

What do you do when your dad gives you a 3 lb. bag of dried apricots? You go hunting for a recipe, that's what you do.
Luckily for me, The Gourmet Cookie Book had a lovely recipe with dried apricots, dating from the 1960's (!) I tweaked it ever so slightly, with some puréeing and a little salt and butter addition. In fact, it's quite similar to the Cherry Pecan Bars that I made awhile back. So I cross-referenced with that recipe and ended up with this one.
Apricot Almond Bar
Printable recipe
3/4 pound dried apricots
1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped almonds
1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup flaked coconut
¼ cup chopped almonds
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with foil.
In a small saucepan, combine the apricots, water and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until the apricots are softened. Remove from the heat. Using a food processor, pulse the mixture until a smooth puree is formed.
In a small saucepan, melt the 12 tablespoons butter. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cool the sheet completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Pour in the melted butter, and using a wooden spoon, mix together until well combined. Transfer about two thirds of the dough to the prepared baking pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan, forming a firmly packed layer.
To create the topping, combine the remaining one-third dough with the toasted almonds and flaked coconut.
Using an offset or rubber spatula, spread the apricot purée over the dough. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the preserves. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the top is golden brown and fragrant, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool completely. Then cut into 2-inch squares.
The bars can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Lady Gaga Goes Hog Wild at iTunes Wireless Festival aka SwineFest [VIDEO]
Lady Gaga went hog wild at the iTunes Wireless Festival in London yesterday (Sept. 1).
You can watch the entire hour-long performance above. It's actually an hour and 11 minutes, but it's worth every second. The performance reportedly cost over $500,000 to pull off and it was weird, experimental and simultaneously un-Gaga-like and totally Gaga throughout. Our heads were spinning, but in the good way. There was so much going on.
Mommy Monster kicked off a month of free shows at the Roundhouse in the U.K. and her gig was a lot to process. Luckily, you have PopCrush to break it down for you.
During 'Swine,' she wore a white top and short, shaggy black hair while smashing away at her drums as white banners with the words 'ARTPOP,' 'Swine' and 'Applause' hung around her and some sort of astronaut type dancers. The song is hard and angry, both sonically and lyrically, as she barks, "You're just a pig inside a human body / You're so disgusting."
'I Wanna Be With You' is a piano ballad, with an aching lyric "I don't wanna grow up." With her red lipstick smeared all over her mouth, Gaga barely got through the song without pausing to process her emotion. She'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone, and she says it in the song, which might be about a lover or her precious little monsters. It was cute when she said, "Thanks for taking me back" to her fans mid-song. She wept by the end. We grabbed a Kleenex, not gonna lie.
For 'Applause,' she costumed up in heels, a top hat, an exotic skin shrug and a pipe. She changed costumes and was drowned in confetti. At this point, the song is familiar.
'Aura' is what we thought was 'Burqa,' with its spoken word delivery. She wore a black wig with bangs and her face was obscured. She danced barefoot. She blew our minds.
The perf found Gaga plunging headlong into new territory. Strap yourselves in.

Best Faux Diamond Rings (14)
Fake diamonds looks like diamond but in fact made of a different material. Fake diamond rings or simulated diamond rings, whose chemical composition is the same as real diamonds, artificial or constructed should not confuse fake diamond with diamonds.
A good fake diamond is in terms of physical properties and appearance as close as possible to the real thing. Real diamonds are best imitations nearly as difficult and at the same time reasonably clear and colorless.
Best faux diamond rings are as Moissanite, white sapphires and cubic zirconia.
There is one of the best fake diamonds Moissanite. This silicon carbide was made and it is difficult almost like real diamonds. Moissanite is also fairly discolored and looks much like the real thing. Moissanite in nature very rare and therefore, this created a lot of made of rhinestone laboratory.
Cubic Zirconia
To make fake diamond rings, cubic zirconia is one of the most commonly used. In best faux diamond rings popularity is because there is only a fraction of what real diamond value price. This material is synthetic and zirconium dioxide occurs. This is considered relatively hard, Moissanite and Diamond White Sapphire hard instead. Compared with them, cubic zirconia is softer easier inscribe tend to accumulate on the surface and numerous scratches;
White Sapphire
White sapphire rhinestone is another great material for use as. This view as a real diamond is or is not a real diamond. This view as a real diamond is or is not a real diamond although high degree of Hardness is higher than this and similar cubic zirconia. In addition to durability, color white sapphire's relative lack of this stone makes a good fake diamonds.
Synthetic Diamonds vs Fake Diamonds
It should be noted the same as synthetic diamond are in listed as best faux diamond rings. Unlike the fake diamond rings, synthetic ones are like real diamonds.

SwoopUp needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
SwoopUp is being built as a search portal for online discounts and savings at 1,000's of online retailers.
We need to create a Web 2.0 syle type of logo that will be used on our website, business cards and stationary. It should encompass a unisex look and feel with an associated graphic element to complement the logo in any sort of brand piece (like the box on Pando.com). A few ideas to look at:
- http://www.kaboodle.com
- http://www.bottletalk.com
- http://www.buzzillions.com
- http://www.loopt.com
- http://www.qik.com
- http://www.pronto.com
- http://www.meebo.comOur tagline is "It's OK to save."
- A web 2.0 logo design
- Branding elements

Dennis Miller bringing his 'A' game
It's been 25 years since they last appeared on stage together. And yes, they're still good friends.
But comedian and radio host Dennis Miller said he still intends to "bring it" when he and his two fellow "Saturday Night Live" alums perform at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods.
Miller aims to be the funniest guy in the room when he gets on stage with Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon on Saturday, May 25.
Beating the other two for laughs may take some doing. Carvey is known for "SNL" characters like the Church Lady and goofy-but-excellent Garth, co-host of "Wayne's World." He's also renowned for his impersonations of everyone from Johnny Carson to Bill Clinton.
Nealon, who grew up in Bridgeport, was an anchor on the show's "Weekend Update" and created numerous characters as well, including Hans (from body-building duo Hans and Franz). He also created the Subliminal Man (this is the best interview you've ever read). He's critically acclaimed for his role in Showtime's "Weeds." And, like the other two, he's appeared in several movies, including "Anger Management."
Then again, Miller hasn't let any cobwebs grow on his career. He's known for his nationally syndicated radio talk show, "The Dennis Miller Show," which has been on air since 2007. He's also a contributor to "The O'Reilly Factor" on FOX News. His live talk show, "Dennis Miller Live," had a nine-year run on HBO, and won five Emmys.
Miller was on "SNL" from 1985 to 1991. Though best known for his pencil-tapping "Weekend Update" news correspondent character, he didn't start out with that gig.
"I didn't get hired for that originally, Jon Lovitz was hired to do it," Miller said in a recent interview. "Then they saw he was gonna be in 10 to 12 things and they needed time for wig and costume changes. I was on Letterman one night and they said Lorne Michaels ("SNL" creator) wants to see you, and I went up. ... He said, "Hey Dennis, would you like to do `Weekend Update' "? I said yes and he said, "See you tomorrow."
Miller hadn't been especially into current events at that time. "Up 'til then my act wasn't about that. I was a road comic, but I got interested in it fast. Pretty soon you realize Saturday is coming around pretty quickly. You've got to read the paper."
These days current events are very much on his mind, including the Dec. 14 school shootings at Sandy Hook.
"We need to send signals up about troubled people. I'm for any law that tightens that whole thing up," he said. "We have to start exchanging information on troubled people and be a little more candid; I'm certain there will be missteps. If you have a good friend and your friend is dressing like The Joker and saying things that don't make sense, tell somebody."
Born and raised near Pittsburgh, Miller -- married, with two grown sons -- now lives in southern California. During the interview, he discussed his upcoming show at Foxwoods, as well as some of his likes and dislikes:
Q: When I was in college, everyone gathered to watch "SNL" and "General Hospital." There was always great stuff on, things people looked forward to. Now it seems there's nothing on, unless you like crime dramas or reality TV. Agree or disagree?
A: There's always Turner Classic; I can put that on all night. I watch sports. I like reality TV, really good or really horrible reality TV. I don't watch sitcoms or crime shows. This morning (on Miller's radio show) I talked to the winner of "Survivor." He's a cool cat, a brilliant cat. He just graduated from Harvard Law.
Q: Yeah, "Survivor" is OK, I guess, though I liked it better when it was new. Any interest in being on "Survivor"?
A: No. I'm too much of a softy . . . four days in with no food, I'd say "Lets just forget this."
Q: What can folks expect at the Foxwoods show?
A: When I'm with Carvey and Nealon, my mandate is to be funny. I will try to kick ass. We love each other, but we get competitive, all three of us. You bring your "A" game. I'm going to try to make people ache in their gut.
Q: What's the best advice you've ever gotten?
A: Jay Leno told me to "stay on the road," meaning don't give up. ... I was saying I feel like the field is flooded with comedians. Jay said, "I know the road looks crowded, but people start veering off, wavering, they don't believe in themselves. Don't get too loaded. Don't get defeated. Don't listen to the folks who say you can't make it."
Q: What's next -- a new book, a new movie?
A: Nope, I'm happy as a clam at age 59. I'm looking to do less, not more.

George Beverly Shea
Photo: ©Richard H. Cohen/Corbis
Lifetime Achievement Award: George Beverly Shea
In addition to the GRAMMY Awards, The Recording Academy presents Special Merit Awards recognizing contributions of significance to the recording field, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, Trustees Award and Technical GRAMMY Award. Each year, The Academy invites friends and colleagues of Special Merit Awards recipients to pay tribute to the honorees' career accomplishments, while also adding colorful anecdotes and personal accounts. In the days leading up to the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, GRAMMY.com will present the tributes to the 12 Special Merit Awards recipients for 2011.
From our respective childhood homes in Nashville, Tenn., and Kenova, W. Va., our memories of the beloved "Bev" Shea begin with the phrase, "Tonight our regularly scheduled programming will be replaced by…."
Even as children we knew that the throngs of people filling the curved screen of our black-and-white TVs meant one thing — Billy Graham was going to preach. And in a day of having only three channels, everybody knew it. It was much more than a TV show, it was an event!
This would be our first recollection of George Beverly Shea, the molasses-voiced baritone who sang alone right before the legendary preacher took the stage. We learned years later that Bev's voice was what calmed Dr. Graham's nerves before standing in front of the enormous crowds, and each of us who were ever privileged to share the Billy Graham Crusade stage experienced this too.
Sitting backstage with Bev before a crusade gave perspective to the task at hand. The "job" before us wasn't just to entertain the crowd, but to provide a vehicle to allow Dr. Graham to do what he was called to do, and no one did that better than George Beverly Shea.
Amy: I was a teenager when I met Bev Shea at a crusade in Nashville. Thirty years of enjoying his friendship have passed since then.
Two years ago I gave Bev and his lovely wife, Karlene, a ride to an airport in Nashville. As we were unloading the bags in front of the terminal, I watched Bev make light-hearted conversation with the two young men assisting us. I saw the effect his easy laugh and open smile had in the short time we stood outside. "How old do you think he is?" I asked our helpers after he and Karlene stepped through the doors. "I don't know…80?" I laughed. "You're off by two decades." "You're kidding! Who is he?" they asked.
Michael: There are few things in life more memorable, more precious than visiting Bev and Karlene in their home. The visit always winds up around his piano. When Bev starts telling you about many classic hymns you quickly realize he got the story from the writer, firsthand! His mind is a treasure trove of stories, friendships and influence of many of the songs that were and are a staple of the church.
I've never been more proud and more humbled than playing piano for Bev there in his home. He has been a source of inspiration to millions, and especially to me.
He is a gifted man, with a great heart, who has lived his life as a faithful friend, and in doing so has changed the world.
George Beverly Shea was born Feb. 1, 1909. By the time he was 20, Bev had identified his passion of communication. Fresh from Houghton College, Bev began singing on WMCA. After a 10-year stint at WMCA, he moved to Chicago and became an announcer and staff soloist at WMBI. Beginning in 1944, he became a soloist on ABC's "Club Time." It was during his years at ABC that George crossed paths with a fiery young preacher from North Carolina named Billy Graham. As a guest soloist, Bev made his first appearance onstage with Dr. Graham in 1947.
More than 70 recordings on RCA and Word Records, numerous awards, including a GRAMMY, induction into the Gospel Music Association Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the National Religious Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and two doctorates later, the rest is history.
(Amy Grant is a six-time GRAMMY recipient and Michael W. Smith is a three-time recipient. Their 2 Friends tour began Feb. 2 and runs through March 6.)
The Lifetime Achievement Award, established in 1962, is presented by vote of The Recording Academy's National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording. To view a complete list of Lifetime Achievement Award recipients, click here.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Julie Andrews, Roy Haynes, Juilliard String Quartet, The Kingston Trio, Dolly Parton, Ramones
Trustees Award: Al Bell, Wilma Cozart Fine, Bruce Lundvall
Technical GRAMMY Award: Roger Linn, Waves Audio Ltd.

Lamb of God's Randy Blythe Meets With Deceased Fan's Family Before Returning to U.S.
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe is a free man now that he's been acquitted of manslaughter charges by a Czech court. Although Blythe was declared innocent in the case involving the death of a young fan at a 2010 Lamb of God show, the frontman wants fans to know that it does not change the fact that a young man named Daniel Nosek is deceased.
With this in mind, Blythe took to his Instagram account to give fans a deeper understanding of his current state of mind while documenting a visit he paid Nosek's family, whom Blythe describes as "good people" who "did nothing wrong."
As Randy Blythe makes his exit from the Czech Republic, fans worldwide are now welcoming the vocalist home from his legal debacle, which lasted roughly nine months. Lamb of God followers have breathed their sighs of relief, raised their arms in triumph and toasted Blythe with the richest of jubilance, but much like Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler recently pointed out, this is no time for celebration.
Along with a picture showcasing a mass collection of human bones (see below), Blythe posts:
I am leaving Prague now- I hope not to return for a long while. This has nothing to do with this city, the people who live here, or the Czech Republic itself at all. This is a wonderful place, & many people have been kind to me. Not a single soul here has been rude or mean to me at all, nor done me any harm- in fact it is quite the opposite. I have grown to love this city, for it is a marvelous, magical town. I encourage everyone to come visit here, to see this lovely country. But for me it is a place of great sadness. While I am relieved that my innocence was proven & apparently I shall not be going to prison, I am in no way shape or form a happy man right now. The small inconveniences I have been through since my arrest are not noteworthy. People go through much worse daily & still keep a smile on their faces, but currently my smiles are far & few between. A young man is still dead, & his family still suffers. Please remember that fact. This family did no wrong, & have shown me great kindness- with silence, with actions, & finally with words- they spoke on my behalf to the court, & we had a private talk afterwards. All I will say about that is that they were very kind to me & displayed the utmost strength & class, & wished me a good life. They just want to get on with their lives the best they can. I wish them only the best, & will keep them in my thoughts & prayers. Please do the same- think good thoughts of them & healing thoughts for them. Trust me, they are good people, & I mean that from the bottom of my heart. They did NOTHING wrong. This picture is from Kutna Hora, at the Sedlec Ossuary. I was there yesterday- like Prague, it is an amazing place. About this city, Kafka wrote: "Prague doesn't let go...This old crone has claws. One has to yield, or else." I have found this to be true. I am yielding, I am leaving a part of myself here, I think. Some bit of me will always roam these streets at night, & that is only fitting. Now I will go home & try to see what good I can make come out the destruction that occurred here- it is the only correct thing to do. Rest in peace, Daniel Nosek.
Welcome home Randy, and our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Daniel Nosek.

Afeyan rows single scull for Armenia
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – Rising senior Catherine McDermott helped the United States' women's four to a fifth-place finish at the 2011 World Rowing Under-23 Championships on Saturday. McDermott sat in the bow seat for the U.S. boat, which crossed the line in 6:47.83.
Leading all the way through to seal the gold medal and set a new world best time, Germany finished in 6:34.61. Italy took silver in 6:37.65, which also surpassed the previous world's best time. The Netherlands won bronze in 6:41.07.
McDermott earned All-New England honors this spring for the Bulldogs and received the team's Anne Warner Award. She helped Yale's varsity eight to an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championship. As a sophomore, she won a bronze medal at Sprints with the second varsity, and as a freshman was a spare at the NCAA Championships. She is a two-time CRCA Scholar Athlete selection and was the recipient of the team's Chris Ernst Award in 2009.
McDermott was one of two Bulldogs competing at the World Championships. Rising senior Armine Afeyan rowed single scull for Armenia.
At Yale, Afeyan sat in the No. 5 seat of the varsity eight that finished eighth at the NCAA Championship this spring. As a junior and sophomore, she rowed in the second varsity, helping the Bulldogs win the NCAA grand final in 2009.
