5 Wines to Enjoy from Corin Hirsch, Food and Drink Writer at Seven ...

From Corin:

Growing up on Long Island, my palate developed in step with the (then) nascent wine industry there. Ever since, cool-climate and uncommon wines have held my imagination ? hence my ongoing crush on the Loire Valley. Now that I write about food and drink at Seven Days, the alt-weekly in Burlington, Vermont, I?m once again watching a wine industry blossom, and I?m lucky enough to get to write about it. While our La Crescents, Marquettes and Seyval Blancs find their footing, our ice ciders, craft beers and small-batch spirits are already first-class.?

Corin?s Top 5 Wines to Enjoy:

One white wine under $20 and widely available in the US:

• Macon Lugny ?Les Charmes? Caves de Lugny Chardonnay, $14

This unoaked Chardonnay from Burgundy is bright but balanced; even though it ferments in stainless steel, the wine is still touched by creaminess with hints of melon and stone fruit. It?s round and approachable enough to coax ?I like it buttery!? Chardheads into the unoaked camp, yet versatile enough to travel the road from fish to fried chicken and back again.

One red wine under $20 and widely available in the US:

• Jovly Chinon Cabernet Franc, $12

A love of Cabernet Franc is etched into my Long Island genes, but I also know that when it?s?ill-rendered, it can have a stemmy, dirty rawness, or be as thin as rosewater.?Not so with this affordable bottling France?s Loire Valley ? it?s?jammy and quaffable, like moving your tongue through a vat of sticky red fruit and violet petals, with wisps of tannins dusting their way along the sides of your mouth.

One splurge (whatever splurge might mean to you):

• Eden Ice Cider Northern Spy Ice Cider

This isn?t necessarily a splurge, price-wise, but this Vermont-made ice cider is velvety and sumptuous. Its two personae jostle again one another, in the best way ? caramel and honeyed up front, and tart and subtly spicy on the finish. Each sip is like a tide of flavor.

??and two others of her own choosing (these may be either easy or hard to find):

• 2008 Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir

I don?t buy much American Pinot Noir, which can be kind of insipid unless you spend liberally. (I live on a writer?s salary, after all). ?But I swooned over this gentle, supple wine from Arcane Cellars in Willamette Valley. Made by an old college friend of mine, Jason Silva, it?s silky with layers of raspberry, rhubarb, and hints of clove and mint.

• Descendientes de Jos? Palacios Bierzo

This isn?t the most summery of wines, but summer sometimes wears a chilly face in Vermont. One recent rainy evening, I opened a bottle from the 2007 vintage, and after one sip, I held the glass at arm?s length and just stared, as if this wine had just landed from another, more seductive planet. This Mencia is powerful ? laden with midnight-black fruit and moody spices, intensely structured yet supple, but with a flirty, herbal edge.

8 ridiculous misuses of mobile gadgets ? caught on video

23 hrs.

Sean Fallon , Nerd Approved

Next time you go to a coffee shop or restaurant, watch how many people are playing with their smartphones or tablets instead of interacting with the people and the world around them. It's kind of depressing really, our dependence on these mobile gadgets. It just seems wrong. However, there are?people out there misusing these devices in ways you never thought possible.

Texting-and-walking into a fountain
We all know about the dangers of texting and driving, but there are risks associated with texting and walking as well. Injury is one of those risks, of course, but the other is YouTube infamy. More on that later.?CubicleBot

Updating Facebook while standing on a motorcycle
My guess is that this guy's Facebook update was something like, "Hope I don't die! LOL."?CubicleBot?

Destroying an iPad with lasers
What happens when you point three of the world's most powerful consumer lasers at a third-gen?iPad? Something equivalent to, but slightly more spectacular than, throwing your wallet into a fire.?CubicleBot

Lizard vs. smartphone?
Some would say that lizards and smartphones don't mix, but this bearded dragon has evolved to be quite adept at "Ant Smasher" on an Android phone.?Nerd Approved

Licking an iPad on live TV?
Using an iPad app from Shock Top, a popular beer, a local news anchor in San Diego pulled off an epic April Fools joke by getting his co-anchor to huff and then actually lick an iPad on air. Interestingly, the flavor is still more beer-like than Bud Light.?CubicleBot

The?Mantaray "iTar"
What do you get when you mash up a keytar, iPad, Kaossilator, Kaoss pad, A Flock of Seagulls and a pinch of evil? The answer is this video for the Mantaray?iTar. Nerd Approved

iPad Typewriter?
Perhaps the greatest sacrilege of all is taking a device like the iPad and purposefully making it obsolete. That's basically the idea behind the iPad Typewriter. These typewriters were rescued from the junkyard and given a new lease on life by making them compatible with any USB-capable computer, such as a PC, Mac or iPad. You can buy a USB typewriter as a complete unit or a DIY kit.? $74 to?$799. USB Typewriter via CubicleBot?

Texting-and-walking fail on Canadian TV?
Remember what I said about the dangers of texting and walking? Let's just hope this isn't the same person that fell into the fountain after fleeing to Canada to escape embarrassment.?CubicleBot

Academic and Creative Writing Journal Vikram Karve: PET DOG

Are you thinking of getting a pet dog?

Well, here is a post for you from my Pet Parenting Archives.?

I think I wrote this a few years ago but it is still?relevant.?

Read on. Do comment and give me your views and feedback.

IF YOU NEED A FRIEND GET A DOG

By

VIKRAM KARVE??

PART 1 -?IF YOU NEED A FRIEND GET A DOG

I still remember the apt quote from Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in the classic movie WALL STREET :???

??If you need a friend, get a dog??

It is true ? if you need a genuine loving friend just get a dog.

Tell me, what is the highest form of love?

I?ll tell you, it is called?Agape Love?? the totally pure and selfless love of one person for another.

Do you want to experience this highest form of love, agape love?

Simple, just get yourself a pet dog, a nice cute little puppy, and make a commitment to look after it as your own child.

You will learn The Art of Friendship from your dog.

There is nothing to surpass the strong affection, warm attachment, unselfish loyalty, total trust and true friendship of a pet dog who will love you unconditionally for its entire life.

You will love to come home to the enthusiastic greeting and genuine welcome that your dog will give you each time you return home which will fill you with love and joy.

Your pet dog will give you loyal jovial companionship and unquestioning affection forever, fill you with buoyant happiness and your life will become bright and breezy.

Remember,?your girlfriend or boyfriend may dump you,?your spouse may divorce you,?your children may abandon you,?your parents may disown you,?your relatives may distance themselves from you,?your colleagues may shun you,?your neighbours may ostracize you,?but your dog will always love you, be loyal to you and never leave your side???yes,?you may get rid of your dog, but your dog will always love you and never leave you of its own accord.

In fact, investing your time and love in your dog is much more rewarding than wasting time, money and emotional effort indulging in unrequited romances and?unfulfillingrelationships.

Once the dog joins your family, invest your love and time to build a special bond that only a dog can offer and see how your dog makes you learn and practice the Art of Loving and the Art of Friendship.

Just go ahead. Get a pet dog. You'll be happy you did and your life will change forever.

There is plenty of choice ? whether you live in the city or the mofussil, in an apartment or bungalow, whatever your lifestyle, age and state of health, there is always a type of dog which will suit your personality and lifestyle.?

You need not be too fussy about pure breeds etc - even a rough and tough well cared for mongrel is a delight and will shower you with love.?

In Part 2 of this article I will give you a few tips on Pet Parenting once you get a dog in your life.

?

Here is a picture of my Doberman X Caravan Hound Girl Sherry (earlier the vets used to call her??Doberman X??but now they call her a more dignified Indian Hound).

Sherry says a loving?Bow Wow?to you.

PART 2 -?PET DOG PARENTING TIPS

Now that you are thinking of getting a pet dog here are some pet parenting tips.?

Remember that it is going to be a genuine long-term commitment and your life will change forever.?

The pet dog is going to be a new member of your family.?

Before you bring the pet dog into your home and your life it would be worthwhile to read this:

TEN PET DOG PARENTING TIPS

(Your Pet Dog Speaks to You)

1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. I want your company always.?Any separation from you will be painful for me.?You must spend plenty of time with me. Remember that when you get me to your home and into your life and family.

?

2.?Give me time to understand what you want of me. Be patient. Tell me. Learn my language. Teach me your language. I will learn fast and obey you and try to please you always.

3.?Place your trust in me?? it is crucial for my well-being. I will always be steadfastly loyal to you.

4.?Please don't be angry at me for long, and please don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment, your family members and your friends.?I have only you.

5.?Talk to me sometimes.?Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me. I will quickly learn and understand all your emotions and body language too.

6.?Always treat me with care and love. I will never forget it.

7.?Remember before you hit me?that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hands, but?that I choose not to bite you. Even if I am naughty never hit me. I will be contrite even if bring a serious look on your face.

8.?Before you scold me?for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy,?ask yourself if something might be bothering me.?Perhaps I am not getting the right food, or I have been out in the sun or in the cold too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

9.?Take care of me when I get old.?You too, will grow old.

10.?Go with me on difficult journeys, especially my last journey.?Never say: 'I can't bear to watch it', 'let it happen in my absence' or 'I am tired of you'.?Everything is?easier for me if you are there. Remember, I Love You.

If you are thinking of getting a dog into your home, remember that your dog will be a family member like your own children and you are you are making a commitment to that dog for its lifetime, and will have to look after your dog probably even more than your own children.

Dogs are incredibly loyal and are simply happy just being around you and give you unconditional joy, love and friendship.?

Your dog is your best friend?and confidante.?

Remember that?while you can hide your emotions from another human, you cannot hide your emotions from your dog.?

I will like to reiterate once more:

your girlfriend or boyfriend may dump you,?

your spouse may divorce you,?

your children may abandon you,?

your parents may disown you,?

your relatives may distance themselves from you,?

your colleagues may shun you,?

your neighbours may ostracize you,?

but your dog will always love you, be loyal to you and never leave your side?

(yes,?you may try to get rid of your dog,?

but your dog will always love you and never leave you of its own accord,?

and your dog will never forget you till his dying day).

So, once the dog joins your family, invest your love and time to build a special bond that only a dog can offer.?

Build a long-term permanent and unique relationship with your dog.?

You will experience?Agape Love, unconditional love of the highest order, and enjoy a loyal friendship which you have never experienced with human beings.

You don't have to go in for a fashionable expensive breed.?

You can adopt a stray, groom your pet properly, take it to a vet,?inoculate?it and make it healthy, give a mongrel puppy a home.?

Yes, get a dog.?You will be happy you did.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Best alternative browser for iPhone shootout!

The iPhone offers one of the best mobile browsing experiences on any smartphone platform. The built in Safari browser is great, and will only get better with iOS 6 features like iCloud tabs, image uploads, and smart banners. Still, it isn't, won't, and will never be for everyone. That why alternatives like Chrome, Atomic, and Mercury are so popular. But which one is the best? And which one is the best for you?

That's what we're here to find out!

Note 1: App Store browsers can't use their own HTML or JavaScript rendering engines. For security and control reasons, all App Store apps have to use Apple's UIWebView to render pages, and they don't have access to the faster, yet less secure, Nitro JavaScript engine Safari uses. This means App Store web browsers will all display websites pretty much the same, and none of them will load JavaScript pages faster than Safari. However, the interfaces and features they offer can make them compelling anyway.

Note 2: We're only looking at full, native alternate browsers in this shootout. Proxy browsers like Skyfire and Opera render content on their own servers and then send that content to your iPhone. There are pros and cons to both approaches, but they're different enough that we'll look at them separately, in their own shootout.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Interface and usability

Google's Chrome for iPhone is just like its Mac and Windows counterpart when it comes to look and feel. There's nothing complicated to confuse you, and everything you need to move around and navigate is right there. Just start typing an address in the search bar or type in a search term to search Google and your on your way. Unfortunately, If you want to access a JavaScript bookmarklet (like Instapaper) you'll have to start typing it in the omnibar as well.

Along the top you'll find a back button, address bar, options button, and tabs button. Tap the option button to add a bookmark, refresh the page, access existing bookmarks, open a new tab, view opened pages on other synced devices, and more.

Tap the tabs button next to the option button to view all currently open tabs or add a new one by tapping the new tab option in the upper left. Tabs will show up in a clean list view. Scroll through all open tabs and just tap on the one you'd like to re-open. You can click the little "x" in the corner of a tab to completely close it out.

Chrome for iPhone doesn't have any overwhelming menus to fiddle around with. The options most users need regularly are easy to find.

Atomic browser for iPhone isn't as simple as Chrome but it does manage to pack quite a punch. Upon launching the app you'll notice you have a lot more buttons and options to work with.

While more buttons in some apps means confusion, this isn't the case with Atomic. All options are well labeled and explained so even beginner users will know what they're looking at. Unlike Chrome which has no buttons along the bottom, this is where you'll find most of your options in Atomic.

By default you'll see a button for tabs, add/share/print, downloads, settings/advanced features, and toggle fullscreen. You can edit these buttons within settings and choose what buttons you'd like to appear along the bottom. If you never use the downloads section, just remove it within settings and replace it with an option you find more useful.

The nice thing about Atomic is that it offers the features that advanced users will want but does it in a way that isn't confusing to mainstream users. Everything is accessible enough that anyone that manages to stumble across a setting will know what it does, but if you don't choose to use advanced settings, they stay out of your way.

Mercury browser for iPhone is strikingly similar to Atomic browser and that isn't a bad thing. Just like Atomic, you'll find most of your toggles and settings along the bottom of the screen. The top of the screen will show your address and search bar as well as your tabs. From the top you can do things like add a bookmark to favorites by tapping the star icon, refresh the page, or open existing bookmarks.

Anything else you need to do can be done via the bottom bar. You've got your standard share/browser options button, a settings button, a fullscreen toggle button, and a button that gives you an almost fullscreen browser which replaces the button bar with a subtler set of controls and only shows tabs along the top instead of a full address bar.

Overall, Mercury does a very nice job of laying out toggles and settings. The ability to toggle between a couple different view modes is a nice option for when you're frequently changing web pages and want some options present but still want to enjoy browsing with as much screen real estate as possible.

If you've become accustomed to the sleek design and interface you get with the desktop version of Chrome you'll love the iPhone version. While Mercury and Atomic both provide great interfaces, Chrome is still a step ahead.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Tabbed browsing

Chrome, Mercury, and Atomic all allow you to enjoy a tabbed browsing experience on your iPhone. The challenge with tabs is to make them accessible without wasting any of the precious, tiny screen real estate.

While Atomic and Mercury approach tabs the same way the classic desktop app approaches them, Chrome does things differently and makes a completely separate section for tabs. Instead of having to scroll horizontally through tabs or use what little screen space there is to work with, Google has managed to not only make great use of space a fun, interactive, eye-pleasing experience for using tabs.

Once you tap into the tab section in Chrome you'll see a card-style layout that presents a preview of the web page and the title. You can flip between tabs, scroll through them horizontally, and close them out quickly and fluidly. Being able to see a preview of a page is awesome for times when you've got multiple pages open on the same website. A cramped tab view doesn't allow you to see enough of the title to know which one is which but the way Chrome handles tabs solves that problem via the preview feature.

When it comes to tabbed browsing on the iPhone, Chrome does it the best.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Bookmark syncing

Most users will probably have quite a few bookmarks saved within their desktop browsers. While Safari offers native sync for bookmarks through iCloud, it doesn't really help you much if you use other browsers on your desktop such as Chrome or Firefox (unless you use a 3rd party service such as Xmarks to fill in the gap). This is where some of our alternate browsers can better fit your workflow.

Chrome allows you to sync up with your Google account to bring bookmarks down from your desktop Mac or Windows PC fairly easily. Under sync, simply sign into your Google account and all your bookmarks will be zapped down to your iPhone pretty much instantly. If you use Chrome as your main browser on your desktop computer, this process will be painless, quick, and super simple. If you don't, you can still use Xmarks or another type of service to bring them into Chrome.

Chrome for iPhone actually takes bookmark syncing one step further and adds page syncing as well. If you've got Chrome open on one of your computers you can actually sync those same tabs to your iPhone. If you want Chrome to open your desktop tabs from your computer on your iPhone automagically you can do this by enabling the Chrome to Mobile option within sync settings. I've used this feature numerous times if I had a bunch of tabs open on my computer at home or in the office and needed to head out. I can quickly pick back up what I was doing on the go effortlessly. It's a great feature and something that a lot of multitaskers will really enjoy.

(Safari will be getting this feature with iOS 6.)

Atomic also will allow you to sync bookmarks through their own process, but it's not nearly as clean and easy as what Chrome offers. You'll need to create a password and navigate to an Atomic-specific website on your computer and upload your bookmarks for syncing.

Mercury offers better support when it comes to bookmarks syncing than Atomic, but it's still not as painless as Chrome. Through settings in Mercury, you can choose to import bookmarks manually or you can use Firefox Sync in order to bring down your Firefox bookmarks. You'll still need to access them on your computer and enable Firefox Sync in order to add your device but after that it's pretty painless.

Chrome has a much better syncing solution when it comes to bookmarks than both Atomic and Mercury.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Gesture support

When it comes to gesture support both Atomic and Mercury give you tons of options for setting gestures based controls. Chrome doesn't offer any at all.

You can access gesture options in the settings panel of both Mercury and Atomic. You can choose between two-finger gestures, shake gestures, and more. With the iPhone's limited screen real estate I don't really see gestures being a huge advantage -- or deal-breaker -- for most.

However, both Atomic and Mercury are universal apps that also run on the iPad, and that's where the multitasking gestures really make navigating the web much easier. If you plan on using either of these browsers on your iPad as well, you should weigh in gesture support and the fact that Chrome doesn't have any.

Tie between Mercury and Atomic as they both offer great gesture support.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Additional features

The ability to sync and view open tabs in Chrome, and access them between desktop and iPhone, is a great feature. Another great feature of Chrome is the voice search. Just tap the microphone in the URL box to start dictating instead of typing. Voice search supports multiple languages so odds are whatever language you need will probably be there.

Chrome also offers an Incognito mode for browsing, which is basically a private browsing session. So if you need that feature, Chrome will have you covered. Chrome will also cover all the basics like searching a page, viewing the desktop version of a site, e-mailing and sharing a page.

Atomic and Mercury both offer a ton of extra features for advanced users such as ad blocking, browser identification, download abilities, and more. If you're looking for something that will give you tons of options and you don't mind giving up a bit of ease of use, Atomic or Mercury will be a better choice.

Atomic also offers Dropbox integration so if you're looking for something with that feature, Atomic is currently the only alternative browser out of the three that will offer it.

When it comes to additional features, Atomic and Mercury both offer roughly the same feature set, but Atomic offers more in terms of advanced settings.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Cost

A higher price tag doesn't always mean a better app or experience, and cheap or free are sometimes worth even less than you pay for them. When it comes to alternative browsers, however, it's hard to compete with free-as-in-Google.

Chrome is a great app and it's available for free in the App Store. Atomic and Mercury will both cost you $0.99 for the Pro versions. All three apps offer iPad support without an additional purchase as well. If you aren't sure which one is right for you yet, Atomic and Mercury also offer free lite versions so you can grab those and take them for a test drive before deciding.

Given the fact that the full version of Chrome is free and universally compatible with iPhone and iPad, Chrome will be the best option for users who want the cheapest solution.

Chrome vs. Atomic vs. Mercury: Conclusion

Chrome, Atomic, and Mercury are all great alternative solutions to Safari, but they're aimed at completely different users.

If you want complete control over your browser like you do on a desktop computer, you'll want to check out either Atomic or Mercury. Both offer tons of options and allow you to customize your browsing experience exactly the way you'd like. For Dropbox users, however, Atomic's Dropbox integration puts it ahead.

If you want a browser that has a better layout than Safari and allows you easy access to bookmarks and other open tabs across all your desktop computers, Chrome is it. There may not be gesture support or a ton of customization options, but it works flawlessly and has a beautiful interface.

That, and the free price tag, make Google Chrome our favorite alternate browser for iPhone.

Red Samsung Galaxy S III Hits AT&T July 29

AT&T just announced that it will start selling a "garnet red" version of the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone at the end of this month.

The new fiery-hued model will hit AT&T stores on July 29, and be available for pre-order starting this Sunday, July 15. As with the existing "pebble blue" and "marble white" options, the new red version will cost $199.999 with a two-year contract, AT&T said.

"This fun, new color option combined with the nation's largest 4G network make the Galaxy S III a great choice for AT&T customers," Kari Tillman, senior product marketing manager at AT&T, wrote in a blog post Thursday.

Those who are not an AT&T customer will have to settle for a blue or white model, as AT&T has the exclusive on garnet red.

The Galaxy S III has slowly been rolling out to U.S. carriers, starting first with Sprint and T-Mobile in late June and then to AT&T, Verizon, and regional carrier U.S. Cellular this month. The smartphone is also coming to C Spire.

Demand for the phone, however, delayed the Sprint and Verizon rollout. A Samsung exec said recently that he expects sales of the Galaxy S III to hit 10 million by month's end.

The smartphone boasts a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED 1,280-by-720 display, and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It features an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing one.

Meanwhile, AT&T also this week announced it will exclusively sell a bright pink version of the Nokia Lumia 900 smartphone, beginning on July 15.

Jelly Bean feature: A more functional notification drop-down [video]

Google took its first steps towards redesigning the Android notification tray in Ice Cream Sandwich, and in the latest version, 4.1 Jelly Bean, it's taken things a step further, creating truly informative and interactive notification entries that border on widget-like levels of interactivity. In addition to the standard icon-and-label combo we're used to from earlier Android versions, many Jelly Bean-compatible notifications can be expanded by dragging down with a two-finger gesture. For example, if you've got an IM notification, you can swipe down with two fingers to view the first few lines of the message.

In addition, you'll find that notifications from many Google apps now feature buttons that allow you to perform certain tasks without entering the app. Google Calendar events, for instance, include a button to snooze the event (you can still swipe it away to dismiss it). And after capturing a screenshot, there's a handy "Share" button that you can use to send it via social networks, or any other sharing app you have installed.

Gmail is where I find this feature most useful, though. Swiping down on a Gmail notifications in Jelly Bean allows you to view a list of subject lines and senders, assuming you've got multiple messages waiting. Or alternatively, if there's just one, you can view the sender, subject line, and the first several lines of the message -- more than enough to work out if it's worth jumping into the app to respond. It's a great way to take advantage of the extra visual real estate offered by the Nexus 7, and looks good on the Galaxy Nexus too, assuming you're not already drowning in notifications.

We've got a brief video showing of all these features after the break. Also be sure to check out the rest of our Jelly Bean feature articles.

A 40 year old man was badly burned and two others including his wife, 24 years old and seven months pregnant, suffered from smoke inhalation.

Reuters reports???Unidentified arsonists set fire on Thursday to the Jerusalem home of Eritrean migrants, injuring three in what Israeli police said appeared to have been a racist attack.

Street violence has surged in recent months against Africans who cross, without permits, into Israel across the porous Egyptian border in search of work or asylum. Read the full story.
