The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Shawn McIntosh column
Source: The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSept.文件倉 21--Even our congressmen are confused by Obamacare.As reporter Daniel Malloy wrote on Wednesday, most of Georgia's members of Congress -- and the rest of the U.S. House and Senate -- will have to find their health coverage on the new insurance exchange created by the Affordable Care Act. The question is whether the government should continue to subsidize their insurance, and you can imagine where Americans come down on that. Even if you set that squabble aside, however, the rules for Congress members and their staffs still aren't clear.Given that, it's probably not surprising that the average Georgia citizen is having some trouble navigating the new law. In a new poll commissioned by the newspaper, nearly two-thirds of Georgians say they don't have a good understanding of the law.That's a problem, since up to 20 percent of Georgians are immediately affected, facing decisions about the insurance exchanges that open Oct. 1. Those exchanges are for people who are not covered by their employer or other private insurance. (The law envisioned those below the poverty level being covered by Medicaid, but Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal decided not to expand Medicaid, citing the expense. That leaves those below the poverty level without an automatic insurance option.)The state of Georgia, whose leaders opted not to set up an exchange, is also not helping much with information. Where other states are holding insurance fairs and have websites loaded with information, our state is actively working to thwart the law.Here at the AJC, we've decided to step up our leadership in order to help resolve the information gap. Whether you support the law or oppose it, the notion that people need information about their options seems fairly obvious. And we aim to give that information.This week we're launching MyAJC.com/healthcare -- a special area of our subscriber website that will provide ongoing, in-depth coverage about the implementation of Obamacare. Our research shows that this topic has huge interest among our subscribers, and that's unlikely to change any time soon.The launch coincides with the release of the poll we commissioned with the opinion research firm SRBI and includes a special report on how Obamacare affects businesses, individuals, health providers, the uninsured and young people.We will continue building the site and adding in-depth information as the存倉Affordable Care Act is implemented or changed. The site offers several interactive features that help you understand the law, including a calculator that estimates your costs on the exchange and a questions link, so you can ask us about how the law will affect you.MyAJC.com/healthcare also includes the most significant reporting we've published during the past year on Obamacare, including articles on the extraordinary political battles that have attended this law.And you'll find special features not directly connected to the law but directly related to your health: hospital infection rates in metro Atlanta, hospital-by-hospital charges for a variety of procedures and more.Richard Halicks, one of our investigations editors who oversees health care investigations, is heading up the site and tailoring it to specific reader needs."Independent information that is specific to Georgia can be hard to come by," Halicks said. "We're making MyAJC.com/healthcare the go-to place in the state for information people can depend on."Halicks noted that even though it's a national story, the ramifications are extremely local. "This major national story, of course, has created thousands of personal stories in Georgia, and we're also tapping into those narratives to show how broadly and deeply the law affects Georgians."Key players in keeping the site up to date will be Misty Williams, our health care reporter, Carrie Teegardin, an investigative reporter who focuses on health care, and David Markiewicz, who covers the business aspects of health care, including issues facing employers and institutions such as hospitals and insurers.Here's what Teegardin, a veteran reporter, has to say: "Reporting on health care offers everything: important public policy, a host of investigative subjects, consumer issues that matter to every single person in our nation. And these days, it's one of the biggest stories of our time. It's an honor to have this assignment and it's a challenge every single day."I agree with Carrie. It's an honor and a challenge to bring you this important coverage. Please let us know what questions you have, what stories you think we are missing and how best we can serve your information needs in this important area.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Atlanta, Ga.)

EDITORIAL: DeLay case had delays
Source: The Beaumont Enterprise, TexasSept.迷你倉 21--Supporters of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay believe that this week's 2-1 ruling by an appeals court that reversed his conviction proves his case was politically motivated. Opponents cite it as another unfortunate example of getting violators convicted under this state's weak laws on campaign finance.While both sides debate these points, ordinary Texans may be left with another impression: This case took a long time.DeLay was indicted way back in 2005 for allegedly channeling $190,000 in illegal corporate donations to Republica文件倉s running for the Texas Legislature. That was the first year of President George W. Bush's second term, and the first year in the Senate for his successor, Barack Obama.DeLay's case didn't go to trial until 2011, and that conviction took two years to reach the Third Court of Appeals -- which wasn't the last step in the process.Whether or not justice was denied in DeLay's case, it sure was delayed.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) Visit the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) at .beaumontenterprise.com Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉

Cardinals stay in command of Generals
Source: The Porterville Recorder, Calif.迷你倉Sept. 21--LINDSAY ?-- The Lindsay High football team's strong second half proved to be too much for the visiting Shafter Generals at Frank Skadan Stadium in Lindsay Friday night. Led by Alex Jara and Jacob Hernandez, the Cardinals were victorious, 40-20.With Lindsay playing the majority of the first quarter on its heels, the Cardinals managed to cross the 50-yard line once. Shafter opened the game kicking to Lindsay. The errant kick sailed out of bounds and Lindsay started its opening drive at its 35.The snap from center flew over the hands of Jara where he recovered the ball on his 16. The Cardinals managed to move the ball to the 21 before having to punt. Lindsay downed the punt at its own 42 where Shafter began its first drive. The Cardinal defense pushed the Generals back to the Lindsay 48 and forced a punt.Lindsay's Gaven Mann fielded the punt at the 11 where the Cardinals started their second drive of the game. Lindsay managed a first down, but a sack and a penalty forced the Cardinals to face second and 20. Jara's pass down field was picked off by Shafter at the Cardinal 48.Shafter quarterback Toribio Lucas managed a couple of runs to get to the 18. However, the Cardinal defense stepped up and stopped the General offense. Shafter's 34 yard field goal attempt was wide and the Cardinals took over.Jara took the snap and quickly found Jacob Hernandez with a short pass. Hernandez did the rest as he found a crease and broke across the 50. Still running, Hernandez outpaced the Generals and found the end zone for the game's first TD. With the PAT good the score was 7-0, Lindsay.Shafter started its next drive with 2:22 left in the first quarter and ended it four seconds into the second quarter. Starting at their 20 after a touchback, the Generals marched down the field 80 yards. Gabriel Cabezuela capped the drive with a 1-yard TD rush up the middle. The PAT tied the score at 7.Lindsay started to win the battle of field position during the second quarter. Hernandez had a beautiful 46-yard run. Juking one defender and slipping out of the grasp of another, Hernandez was finally pushed out of bounds at the 12.The penalties however, stacked up against the Cards and forced Lindsay to turn the ball over on downs. Creeping toward the endz one with each possession, the Cardinals, managed two fi自存倉ld goals in the second quarter. Jose Lopez hit from 33 yards and 39 yards to give Lindsay a 13-7 lead at the half.Shafter's opening drive in the second half was met by a wall of Lindsay defenders led by Marcos Munoz. Munoz stepped up big with two huge stops and forced Shafter to punt.Lindsay's offense shortened the field with a 49-yard pass to Angel Cortes. Lindsay finished the drive with a 19-yard TD pass to Israel Uribe. The PAT made the score 20-7, Lindsay.Shafter threatened to score after a 27-yard pass to Nick Alexander got them to the 12.Chris Misaalefua charged hard and sacked Shafter's Lucas, causing a fumble, which was recovered by Lindsay. However, Lindsay had to punt and the Generals came hard at the punter and blocked it. From the 7, Cabezuela scored for Shafter to make the score 20-13.On the ensuing kick off, Hernandez returned the ball 50 yards. The next play, Hernandez took the hand-off up the middle and exploded for 40 yards for another Lindsay TD. The Lindsay PAT was blocked and left the score 26-13 Lindsay.When Lindsay kicked to Shafter, Shafter failed to cover the ball and the Cardinals took possession at Shafter's 15. Wasting no time, Jara handed the ball to Hernandez. Virtually untouched, Hernandez ran straight up the middle and across the goal line. Lindsay now had a 33-13 lead after the made PAT.Shafter's drive to start the fourt quarter looked to gain momentum as it threatened again to score. But, another big hit caused another fumble with Misaalefua recovering for Lindsay at its 16. Lindsay was forced to punt as they only managed six yards. This put Shafter back on its 30.While the Generals were able to gain yards offensively, they were plagued with penalties. Facing fourth down and 30, they passed and failed, giving the ball back to the Cardinals. R.J. Rueda now at quarterback for Lindsay, found Isaac Flores in the end zone for a 21-yard pass to the corner. The TD and PAT made the score 40-13 with just under four minutes left in the game.Shafter answered with a 48-yard TD pass to bring the score to 40-20, Lindsay with 2:27 on the clock.The win over Shafter brings Lindsay's record to 3-0 and Shafter to 2-2.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Porterville Recorder (Porterville, Calif.)

湯禎兆:請專業一點
湯禎兆有新書面世,迷你倉出版社找傳媒約訪問,編輯遂委約我當訪問者。出版社送來的書也先讀過了,訪問卻比我預期更困難得多。甚至去到一個地步, 我差點要投降的跟他說,其實毋須為新書宣傳做這個訪問,要做也應該另找「合格」的訪問者。 湯禎兆有「全身文化人」這個身分,他問了我好幾次知不知: 「不知你知不知道,我教書前是做了十年傳媒的,副刊、體育版的編輯,甚至像找你來訪問我的編輯H,類似的位置我也坐過。」「不知你知不知道,我是讀文學的,你也是讀文學的嗎?」「不知你熟不熟悉華文世界的出版市場?」我搖搖頭,並不是我不知道,只是我覺得尷尬。湯sir 有這樣的口吻,大概是質疑訪問者不夠專業。 「讀者不專業專業作者難生存」 湯批評目前在香港這個「場」玩的人不專業,無誠意,而且作為傳媒的把關人也不專業,容許不專業的人落場。訪問到最後,我問他對新特首上場後香港的看法,要他表態說說他討厭討論的香港政治,他說: 「一句到尾,請專業一點(唔該專業�)。」一句話重複說了兩次,第二次是一字一字的吐出來。「讀者不夠專業,專業的作者很難生存。」他提到林慧思老師,認為很多評論事件的人都是信口開河,講之前沒有認真研究。「沒研究就沒有發言權。」他說。「那麼湯禎兆又有什麼看法?」他表示無話可說,並反詰:「我可站在什麼位置去說?」 我之所以跟湯說訪問的安排恐怕是一場誤會,是因為他對傳媒和訪問者有相當的要求。雖然我事前跟編輯提過,如果我做訪問的話, 「很可能會談得很離題,例如問問他為何《進擊的巨人》和《半澤直樹》會爆紅。」湯卻說,出版社告訴他,公園仔很熟悉日本文化。我查了電郵紀錄,《明報》給出版社的信息是:(訪問者)是博客公園仔,本身也多寫日本流行文化。 湯禎兆稱曾在facebook 表明(雖然我不清楚facebook 是不是一個表明立場的好地方),他不會再接受香港傳媒的電話訪問。《半澤直樹》和《進擊的巨人》爆紅、宮崎駿引退,他都收過傳媒致電來問意見,他一概不回應。我照樣問: 「有看《半澤直樹》嗎?」「有看了一點,但我其實覺得『好流』。」但他沒有給其他記者「好流」這個sound bite,因為「不想講,(問的人)無誠意。」 論《半澤直樹》:我覺得「好流」怎樣才叫有誠意?現時大部分文章都在內地媒體發表的湯說: 「大陸有五份雜誌找我講宮崎駿。他們的做法是: 『湯生,可否用三千字也好,六千字也好,談談你的看法』。我比較忙,只應承了兩份,合共寫了一萬字左右。其實白癡都會知道,怎可能隨便說兩句就能說得清楚。」我心�再次質疑這次訪問的意義,特別是湯說出了他對訪問者的要求: 「我會期望訪問者對我有多大興趣?對日本文化為多大興趣?」至於要有多大興趣才叫「合格」,湯沒有具體回答。 《人間開眼》為讀者開眼 本篇訪問也不過只有兩千多字的篇幅,唯有盡我所能,談談湯禎兆的新書吧。湯說他不想他的文章再流於港日又或者中日(針對內地簡體版讀者)的直接對比,他認為這是「妹仔大過主人婆」的做法,因為寫作的出發點並非是日本文化本身,而只不過是挪借日本來解釋香港或內地的現象。我讀了一段新書的宣傳文案給他聽:「……全面剖析下流日本/讓日本的魅影/折射出香港的鬼影……」這並非湯的原意吧?他點點頭說: 「當然不是。」然而對於新書的處理,他有妥協,亦有他堅持的底線。例如他不肯接受攝影師要求他拿�自己的書來作閱讀狀。「自己讀自己的書,太奇怪了。」不過他會接受攝影師建議,借了文件倉筆記簿來作書寫狀。又例如湯會接受出版社將「下流」、「援交」、「宅男」這類吸睛字眼用於文章的題目,卻堅持文章內容不改,而且力爭以《人間開眼》作為書名。為什麼一定要用這四個字? 「因為我覺得勁囉!」怎勁? 「人間」不只是中文,也是《人間失格》、《人間之證明》中的同一個日文辭彙。湯禎兆要為人開眼,為「對日本文化有要求」的讀者提供嶄新的眼界。 借舒明在推薦序提供的數字,新書談論過的小說作者超過五十人,提及過的導演亦有數十名。不夠專業的我問: 「自問看過的日本作品也不算少,但你提過的小說和電影,我恐怕是沒有可能所有都看過,我是應該先看作品,才讀你的評論?」結果被湯sir 教訓了: 「先讀書或是看過作品才讀,是不緊要的,緊要的是你是不是個合格的讀者。」怎樣才不算是一個失格的讀者,湯的說法是要對日本文化有要求,要求的東西不止上維基就能找到,要比打來問sound bite 的記者要求高一點就可以了。 「如果你只在追求一些強化自己固有想法的東西,而且不覺得市面上報章提供的資訊不足且流於表面,你是毋須買我的書的。」未看過有關作品就先讀討論文字,當然是可行的。我們後來談及到湯很欣賞的李長聲,還有他不太欣賞的四方田犬彥,兩人論及的日本作品我也有很多是沒看過,但書讀起來還是不失興味。 不過湯sir 強調,他不是推銷員。如果讀者沒有能力看得明白他的日本書寫,他們是無必要買書來看。湯主動提到讀者的閱讀能力,可能是因為我問了他,有多高日本文化根底才適合讀他的書。關於這一點,他倒是自信滿滿,認為確實有一班為數不多但很穩定的讀者群: 「我不同意香港讀者要求低,只會買那些指南式、只求功能的日本文化書,我十年來書寫日本,書一本接一本的出,稱得上是右手寫完,左手便可以拿去出版。」談到文字有價,湯在訪問中突然叉開一筆,批評社交網絡上的「呃like」現象: 「like 的數量跟實質支持的人數可能沒有太大的關係,例如你現在翻譯一篇關於《半澤直樹》的文章,可能馬上有數千個like,但這些人可能不會花錢去買這樣的一本書來看。」 討厭香港論述風氣非黑即白 湯禎兆討厭香港現時非黑即白的論述風氣,就算寫《狂舞派》,他也在意自己沒有一味讚好,也沒有人云亦云的只論及電影有多熱血,而是拿了阿里山的姑娘蛻變成動漫寶寶這一段來深入分析。「我讀lit(文學)的,lit 就是做分析」。他說《半澤直樹》「好流」,是少見的立場鮮明,但當我提到�雅人的演技很浮誇,他還是要給另一個角度來分衡觀點: 「也不止他在劇中的演技浮誇,但這也可以說成是一種漫畫風格的演繹手法。」湯說他愈來愈不在乎一部作品整體的好壞,例如寫(神探伽利略的)《真夏方程式》,他會寫一篇深入討論它的好處,然後再寫一篇談它的壞處。「只評好壞不過是社交網絡上的like/unlike,更重要是提供角度。」 湯禎兆說,新書是一個新階段的開始,有別於以往以某些日本事物作為寫作重心,期望今後更以作者本身的視角,只寫他認為值得寫的東西。我本來打算問問湯有沒有看過宮藤官九郎的《還有第11 人》,問問他怎樣看洪尚秀,但既然他說到有一段長時間不寫日劇,又認為韓國片太過淺薄,我就作罷。 什麼人問: 公園仔 業餘博客,閒時愛看日劇和日本電影,近期在看宮藤官九郎的NHK 晨早劇《海女》。 什麼人答: 湯禎兆 全身文化人,據新書《人間開眼》的宣傳介紹,是日本文化專家。 什麼人訪問什麼人文公園仔圖黃志東存倉

死亡公路牽魂事件(一)
世界各地都有死亡公路,迷你倉如永加斯北路,又稱為死亡道路,這條道路從拉巴斯到玻利維亞首都科羅伊科,長約61至69公里,1995年曾被命名為「世界上最危險的道路」,每年有200至300遊客死於該公路沿線。香港早年的屯門公路,過去亦經常發生嚴重傷亡的交通事故。?筆者年前帶領無線電視台最受歡迎靈異節目《詭異檔案》攝製隊,聯同當地記者在怡保拍攝,期間忽然接獲一名粉絲來電提供一則熱辣勁聞,指稱檳島阿依淡新市鎮有一批年輕人,發起一場相當大規模的夜祭奪命公路陰魂的超渡法事,筆者與攝製隊經過商議後,連夜從怡保北上檳島一探究竟……據當地粉絲表示,發起這場法事的是阿依淡新市鎮濟寶宮的一批年輕乩童以及道教教友們,據濟寶宮主持張國軒道長表示,該宮的侯府王儲存倉不久前曾降乩下旨,指該宮不遠的一條公路多年來不斷發生過多宗車禍意外,奪走數條人命,這條公路凝聚了枉死冤魂而陰氣相當重,若不儘早超渡讓這些公路冤魂早日安息,恐怕日後還會繼續發生車禍而肇成更多悲劇。侯府王爺降乩時已有指示,頒旨予其公子侯府太子,廣澤尊王以及大爺伯,一同到該公路牽渡亡魂,將這些公路亡魂渡往極樂……筆者與攝製隊忽然到訪,濟寶宮主持張國軒道長與該宮眾理事成員們又驚又喜,張道長亦隨即邀請我為這場夜祭公路亡魂的法事作護法及提供臨場協助。張道長指出,除侯府太子、廣澤尊王以及大爺伯降乩牽魂,他本身亦會在路旁設壇以道教方式頌經普渡曾經在該公路罹難的亡魂,平息這些亡魂的冤氣……(待續)司徒法正kingofmaster3@163.com迷你倉

便通肺亦強 飲食有度是良方
飲食保養1.天然食材 選當季 忌生冷中國醫藥大學附設北港醫院中醫師許麗娟指出,儲存秋季在人體中的五臟內應於肺,因此養生基本原則為防涼防燥,飲食保健當以養陰、潤燥為主。許麗娟表示,秋季天氣轉涼,人的味覺會更敏感,食欲增加,不知不覺中容易飲食過度,不小心就熱量攝取過多。而且氣候宜人,使人睡眠充足,汗水減少,稍不注意體重就增加,所以體重肥胖者應注意飲食,也因秋燥會導致大腸蠕動變慢,易形成季節性便秘。在飲食保健上,許麗娟建議民眾可從當季蔬菜或水果著手,例如白蘿蔔、蜂蜜、香蕉、柿子等,飯前也可以先喝雞湯或魚湯暖胃,不宜多吃寒涼食物或生冷瓜果,可能導致腹瀉、下痢等急慢性腸胃道疾病,辛辣、油炸等食物建議少碰,最好不要吃,因為易生燥化熱。2.中藥飲 增免疫 禦風寒「喝溫開水是最經濟實惠的保健。」恆順堂中藥行業者賴坤隆表示,秋季空氣乾燥,喉嚨需要水滋潤,冰冷飲品會讓喉嚨和胃緊縮,長期下來對呼吸道和消化道有害,而且會引起乾咳。飲補最常見由紅棗、枸杞和黃耆搭配而成的安迪湯,有助於提升免疫力,金銀花、甘草和靈芝有助於增加抵抗力,降低得到風寒機率;賴坤隆說,秋冬因氣溫低,血液循環較不好,人易有手腳冰冷的情形,可以在中藥材內加些許促進血液循環的紅花,但是孕婦和經期來的婦女禁用。賴坤隆建議經期女性可以改喝桂圓紅棗茶,因為紅棗富有鐵質和熱量高,同樣可以補血;潤肺的羅漢果搭配金銀花、甘草搭配而成的羅漢茶也可以潤喉。喉嚨感到不適,可以用雪梨燉川貝,或是燕窩加粉光參,一天一盞即可。運動保養1.建議的運動量許麗娟建議民眾持續適宜的體能鍛鍊,可以調養迷你倉氣,提高肺臟器官的功能,由於秋季氣候乾燥,人體陽氣陰精正處於收斂內養階段,因此運動應適量不宜過大,以防出汗過多,例如太極拳極適合,或是腹式深呼吸、吐納健身法。2.建議從事的運動腹式深呼吸:舌頂上顎,用鼻緩緩吸氣,用意念送至丹田,再將氣緩緩從口中呼吸,反覆30次。吐納健身法:清晨洗漱後,在室內寧心靜坐,先叩齒36次(增強腎氣以納氣),再用舌於口中攪動,待口水液滿,分三次吞下,用意念送到丹田(生津潤燥)。便通肺亦強:民眾想要刺激大腸蠕動,可以有規律地按壓眼眶正下方或顴骨四周,食、中、無名指併攏,以指腹輕敲,許麗娟說「便通則肺亦強,精神狀態也會明顯改善」。▇ 生活上的提醒1.暑熱未盡,涼風時至,早晚溫差大,早上出門最好多帶件薄外套,避免風寒。2.高血壓、腦動脈硬化等病患更要注意保暖,因血管在熱脹冷縮下易引發中風。3.若出汗較多,可適量補充些淡鹽水,補充時以少量、多次、緩飲為原則。4.用中藥材補身固然好,仍建議民眾在食補或飲補前,先請教中醫師,因為每個人的體質不同,藥材的調配因人而異。諮詢中國醫藥大學附設北港醫院中醫師許麗娟、恆順堂中藥行業者賴坤隆 整理記者姜宜菁按摩保養承漿穴:唇下凹處以食指適力壓揉,每次15下,感覺口腔內會湧出分泌液即可。合谷穴:五指併攏,在大拇指和食指掌骨之間,也就是肌肉隆起處。主治感冒、氣虛。曲池穴:屈肘,肘關節肌肉外側盡端。有助調理腸胃、調和氣血,並有降血壓作用。足三里:屈膝,由膝蓋外側往下四指,脛骨外開一橫指處有助於調理脾胃、提高自身抗病能力。魚際穴:大拇指外側中部,能治咳嗽、退熱。mini storage

Some agree better control is needed but others fear govt will exploit new rulesTHE reflex response to China's ongoing crackdown on "online rumours" is that it is aimed at repressing free speech and silencing critics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or the government.迷你倉But take a closer look at China's cyberspace, especially since 2009 with the advent of the massively popular Twitter-like Weibo microblogs, and one may find reasonable grounds for some form of cleaning up that might benefit netizens over the long term.For one thing, Internet-based rumour-mongering in China can truly get out of hand.A joint portal launched on Aug 1 by six Internet firms has posted 100,000 statements of online rumours and falsehoods. Some rumours, like how foreigners involved in a train crash were getting 200 times more in government-funded compensation than locals, have fanned public anger.The latest involves a 16-year-old student in north-western Gansu province, who alleged online that local police in Zhangjiachuan county assaulted relatives of a man who had committed suicide.The student has been detained, according to news reports on Thursday, making him the first offender caught under a new rule released last Monday that expands existing law to punish perpetrators of online rumours.Those behind online rumours visited by 5,000 Internet users or re-posted more than 500 times will be charged with defamation and could face up to three years in jail.There has also been a proliferation of Internet marketing firms that allegedly make up lies and conduct smear campaigns against their clients' rivals.The highest-profile of these firms is one reportedly run by a man named Qin Zhihui, who goes by the online moniker Qin Huohuo and was nabbed by police in Beijing last month.Through the firm Beijing Erma, he and founder Yang Xiuyu allegedly concocted 3,000 rumours over three years about public figures and institutions to advance their interests and those of their clients. The firm earned more than 10 million yuan (S$2 million) in the past seven years, said state media."On Weibo, China appears as if it's an evil country. It's seriously affecting China's social stability and political governance," former newspaper editor Wang Wen,迷你倉最平now a researcher urging tightened controls on microblogs, told The New York Times on Tuesday last week.Such abuses of the Internet were cited by China's supreme court and prosecutor's office as key reasons for the judicial interpretation.Some cleaning up may not be a bad thing, some influential microbloggers have acknowledged to The Straits Times. They include romance counsellor Su Qin, who has more than 40 million fans on her Sina and Tencent Weibo accounts."Many microbloggers tend to re-tweet unverified information to attract new fans and increase their popularity," she said, adding that such actions could hurt stability in the society.But many fear that the authorities will exploit the new rules to protect corrupt officials, silence valid criticism of government policies or cover up their mistakes.The CCP's track record in suppressing critics and deleting sensitive online postings about corrupt officials and topics such as human rights adds to the perception.University of Chicago analyst Yang Dali believes the clampdown reflects the CCP's fears that it has ceded too much room to non-party and non-state forces. "The fear is compounded by an accelerating decline in viewership of official channels, especially TV. This current crackdown is also an attempt to take back control over cyberspace," he said.Other analysts, however, believe there is a need to better control cyberspace, though they also point out the need for a balance in the authorities' efforts.Fudan University international relations expert Shen Yi, writing in the Global Times newspaper this month, said the long-term strategy should not be using the law to deter bad behaviour but self-regulation among the netizens and Internet firms.But University of Sydney analyst Kerry Brown thinks the authorities have no clear way of dealing with the need to harness the "immense economic benefits" of the Internet on the one hand, and the threats posed to the CCP by the unbridled freedom of expression in cyberspace on the other hand."This will be a long attritional struggle but, in the end, it will result in a more open Chinese society. But it will be a tough path and I'm sure it will contain many surprises," he told The Straits Times.kianbeng@sph.com.sg迷你倉

據新華社鄭州9月19日電(記者付昊蘇姜亮)近日,迷你倉河南商丘市柘城縣第二高級中學發生了一起學生打砸事件,學校及縣教體局相關負責人已分別受到處理。記者採訪瞭解到,打砸的起因是學生與食堂工作人員的爭執,而打砸背後折射出的是學生及家長對封閉化壟斷環境中食宿服務價高、質低的久來怨憤。例行督查餐廳衛生起衝突柘城二高是河南省示範性高中,位於縣城內,現有師生8000多人,教學樓前報刊欄玻璃上被砸出的大窟窿似乎訴說著14日那場風波。“中午剛過12時,我到食堂正準備吃飯,忽然聽到不遠處有人大聲嚷嚷,不一會兒就見有同學掀桌子砸餐具了。”“當時好多人都在吃飯,看到有人打砸桌子,也有不少跟著起哄。”幾個學生向記者講述了當時的情景。事發後,校方對事件的調查結果顯示:9月13日上午,二年級A部學生會例行監督檢查餐廳衛生及飯菜質量,因懷疑38號窗口飯菜質量有問題,而對方工作人員不配合且態度不端,雙方發生爭執。14日中午就餐時,20余名學生與餐廳38號窗口工作人員發生爭執並起衝突,學生掀翻餐廳桌椅28張,造成部分學生和職工圍觀,學生與員工沒有發生肢體接觸,無人員受傷。目前,學校已對餐廳38號作業組停業整頓,涉事兩名員工被開除處理。學校要求承包食堂的餐飲公司深刻檢討,提高食堂員工的服務質量和飯菜質量。學生打砸食堂疑校內高物價引發記者採訪瞭解到,打砸事件的背後,是學生及家長對於校內高物價的長期積怨。以前,學生可以出入校門,自主選擇消費,但新學期以來,校方強制施行封閉化管理,嚴禁學生校外用餐和住宿,最終激化了矛盾。說起學校的高物價,柘城二高的學生滿腹牢騷。“食堂比外邊飯店都貴,同樣價錢的蒸餃,校內一籠只有8個,校外的有12個,味道還好得多。”“宿舍沒有插座,想充電去超市,一次5毛錢。”“這學期住宿費漲了60元,說是要在宿舍安裝空調,但根本沒有裝。”校長助理梁傑說:“封閉化管理有利於維護校園安全秩序,有利於鍛煉學生自理自立的能力,有利於提高學生成績。”他認為提高成績是重中之重,封閉化管理符合家長和學生的利益。但封閉校園里的高物價讓一些學生和家長並不“領情”,不少質疑聲開始出現:封閉化管理只是為了追求壟斷的經濟利益。“七八千學生呢,吃飯住宿的花自存倉可不是小數目。”一位家長跟記者說。學校食堂都是外包運營的針對這些質疑,柘城二高紀檢書記張濤向記者介紹說,學校的食堂和宿舍都是外包運營的,學校在這些方面其實並不盈利。“新建的6棟宿舍樓都是由校外企業投資並負責運營,住宿費也由他們收取;食堂由一家餐飲企業承包,學校對這些承包商進行監督和管理。”當問到校內食宿價格是否偏高,張濤稱:“校方一直在盡力監管。”作為公辦學校,柘城二高的硬件設施為何由校外企業投資並運營呢?柘城縣教體局黨委副書記付永清說:“柘城二高建于2000年7月,原來是公辦民助的性質,辦校的時候政府並沒有投入,全都是引進的外來資金,直到2011年9月,二高才完成改製,成為完全的公辦學校。”據瞭解,柘城二高目前仍然欠外債高達3000多萬元;全校300多名老師,還有四分之一沒有編制,需要學校發工資。“我們沒有錢再去養活廚師、宿舍日常管理人員,只能把食堂宿舍外包出去,引入資金來建設發展學校。”付永清說。事發後,柘城二高對事件進行了總結和反思。梁傑介紹說,針對學生反映的食宿問題,校方下一步將會進行整改。有關專家建議,控制封閉化管理下校園內的物價,一是要加大財政的投入,用財政補貼承包方的形式來降低學生的購買成本;二是要儘量引入公平的競爭機制,通過市場的調節作用來控制校園內的物價水平。河南涉事學校校長被免職記者18日晚間從河南省柘城縣委宣傳部獲悉,針對輿論關注的“柘城縣二高被學生打砸事件”,當地已對該校校長、一名副校長作出免職處理,另有一名負責該 高中工作的縣教體局黨委副書記受到黨內警告處分。由柘城縣委宣傳部提供的處理意見顯示,免去柘城縣第二高級中學校長彭宇職務並給予行政記過處分;免去該校分管綜治、學生和餐廳工作的呂志軍副校長職務,並給予行政記大過處分;給予縣教體局聯繫二高工作的黨委副書記付永清黨內警告處分,並責成縣教體局對柘城二高相關責任人作出相應處理。事件發生後,柘城縣委、縣政府立即成立了調查處理工作組進駐該校,調查瞭解事件真相,完善管理措施,提升飯菜質量,加強硬件建設,理順化解學生情緒。同時,學校餐飲單位對餐廳38號窗口作業組停業整頓,對涉事的兩名餐飲人員予以辭退,並以書面的形式向全體師生道歉。據新華社迷你倉

India's poor neglected by business sector, says ITD
Source: Bangkok Post, ThailandSept.self storage 21--Thai businesses wanting to develop a foothold in India are advised to look at opportunities in low-end segments that domestic producers have neglected, say experts."People should not look at India as a single market of 1.2 billion consumers when 600 million people are still living below the poverty line," said Piti Srisangnam, a researcher with Thailand's International Institute for Trade and Development (ITD).India defines poverty as earning less than 20 rupees (10 baht) per day.People in this bracket represent a larger market than the upper and middle classes of 300 million people.Poor people are particularly important to the small consumable goods category.Even though margins may be low, sales will more than justify entering this market, Mr Piti said.He said Indians perceive Thai products as reputable and of high quality, but Thai businesses lack understanding of local needs and consumption trends.From 2000-11, India-bound investments from Thailand totalled US$92.1 million.Despite the Thailand-India Free Trade Agreement, Thai investment accounts for only 0.06% of total foreign direct investment (FDI) in India, said ITD deputy executive director Watcharas Leelawath.Satish Sehgal, president of 迷你倉he India-Thai Business Association, said: "Low investment may stem from the Thai business community's generalisation of Indian business practices."Doing business in India requires a local partner that will handle distribution and product representation, he said.Indian lawyers are also important as local and state laws are varied and complex.Tharadol Thongruang, minister counsellor in the Office of Commercial Affairs at the Thai embassy in New Delhi, said Thai businesses should adopt the Japanese practice of relocating production bases.India has high non-tariff barriers, while logistics and distribution networks and other infrastructure remain poor, he said.A production base in India would eliminate unnecessary tariffs and reduce transport costs.Mr Tharadol said Thai businesses should also consider opening up in secondary cities away from major metropolitan areas.Many of these cities compete for FDI by offering incentives."One area that Thai businesses can look into is processing facilities for perishable goods. There is high wastage in this sector," said Mr Sehgal.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Bangkok Post (Bangkok, Thailand) Visit the Bangkok Post (Bangkok, Thailand) at .bangkokpost.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉

He previously has been scheduled to go to trial in Luzerne County, but his case has often been delayed because Selenski has not yet been brought to trial on related charges.Weakley is a witness in the case. Selenski's case is on hold due to a grand jury investigation surrounding the case.Police said Kerkowski and Fassett's bodies were unearthed on the property where Selenski lived in Kingston Township in June 2003.WILKES-BARRE -- A search warrant filed by police after a bicyclist died in an accident earlier this month seeks to obtain his medical records.Richard Swartz, 33, of West Ross Street, Wilkes-Barre, died from injuries after being struck by a vehicle while riding in the area of Boston Hill Road and East Main Street on Sept.5. Swartz was struck at about 8 p.m. He was pronounced dead at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township just before 9 p.m.The search warrant seeks to obtain medical records of Swartz, including blood tests and blood-alcohol tests obtained at the hospital.The search warrant details that James Lech was driving a Dodge truck on his way home from work when an object hit his vehicle shortly after 8 p.m.Police found Swartz at the scene and with "a traumati迷你倉 injury."No charges have been filed in the case.WILKES-BARRE -- A Pittston man charged with inappropriately touching a girl was sentenced Thursday to two years probation.Bryant Astles, 35, who pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent assault in June, was sentenced by county Judge Lesa Gelb.Astles must register his address under Megan's Law for 15 years and can have no unsupervised contact with minors, Gelb said.According to court papers, a 15-year-old girl reported to police in August 2012 that Astles inappropriately touched her on at least two occasions.WILKES-BARRE --A woman sentenced earlier this month to seven years probation on charges of forgery and harassment has asked a judge for a reduced sentence.Theresa Gordon Isabella, 76, was sentenced on Sept. 8 to the probationary term by Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. after being convicted of charges she sent unwanted mail to her neighbor and his family.In court papers filed Thursday by her attorney, Tom Marsilio, Isabella requests a reduced sentence for a number of reasons, including that she will be living in Florida and the sentence would "produce a hardship for her," that there was not enough evidence to convict her and that the prosecuting officer, Josh Winters, was recently demoted from police chief to corporal.Isabella requests a new trial or that charges be dismissed or that her sentence be reduced.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Times Leader (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.)

Touring market to add pop to downtown stop
Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch, Va.self storageSept. 20--Richmond Times-DispatchRobertson uses a photo of friend Zach Banister to aid his portrayal of the captain. There's no particular story; viewers can make up their own, he says.Richmond RetailingA temporary traveling market will touch down in Richmond this weekend, offering shoppers a chance to check out goods from more than 20 American designers and several local vendors.The market, emphasizing American-made mens-wear, shoes, accessories and lifestyle goods, will feature apparel from Billy Reid, named Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.Among the other brands available will be Pierrepont Hicks, Osmium, The Hill-Side, Appa-latch and Cause & Effect.The traveling market called a pop-up in the retail industry-will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday in the former power plant at 1201 Haxall Point near the Riverside on the James development along the Canal Walk in downtown Richmond.The market idea originated from Northern Grade, a Minnesota-based retail operation. The company is on a nationwide tour, with stops including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington. After the Richmond event, Chicago is next on the schedule.Coordinating the Richmond stop is Need Supply Co., which sells men's and women's apparel and other items both online and from its base at 3100 W. Cary St. in Cary-town.Need Supply spokeswoman Molly Szkotak said several local companies will be represented. For example, Shockoe Denim will be on hand selling its high-end jeans, as will high-end shirt retailer Ledbury selling only American-made迷你倉accessories. Local furniture merchant OddCouple will be there with an assortment of antique pieces.Lamplighter Roasting Co. will have a coffee cafe. Area food trucks will offer a variety of menus. Foster Cuts will set up a men's grooming station.For some, the star of the weekend market will be the venue, the historic Haxall building.Built in 1899, the former power plant overlooks a restored canal in the midst of an upscale downtown riverfront development. The building was a Virginia Electric and Power Co. hydroelectric generating plant before it was shut down in stages from 1955 through 1965.In 2000, The Cordish Cos., a Balti-more-based developer, bought the 20,000-square-foot building and the nine-tenths-of-an-acre lot.Cordish said earlier this year that it was putting the building on the market for $3.5 million, but now it is trying to lease the space.Jeffrey Cooke, a senior vice president with Cushman & Wakefield -- Thalhimer and the listing broker, said he is optimistic that the company will lease the space because of the location.The Haxall plant's interior has a 28-foot ceiling. For the pop-up market, Need Supply has commissioned a mural that local artist Duncan Robertson has been painting inside the building."It's a scene that lets the viewer provide the story," Robertson said. It features a fishing boat captain and a man and woman, with styles evoking the 1920s or '30s.rhailman@timesdispatch.com (804) 649-6844Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Va.)

李安算是什麼範兒
我們習慣的導演是裹大衣的,迷你倉套馬甲的,眼神中掩藏不住的是霸氣,放蕩不羈與書生氣相遠,說起話來中氣十足,喉嚨也響,那是導演掌控慣了話語權帶來的職業病,和媒體之間常有口水之爭,一不高興言語間會帶些粗話……別說是大導演,即便是文化宮的業餘導演,在一干人馬中,一看就看出來。導演的範兒啊,沒辦法。那麼李安呢?所有這樣一切導演的範兒,李安一應俱缺。這個男人在謙和的笑容中略帶靦腆,在低聲的話語中略帶文弱;至少在我們看得到的場景里,李安一直是穿了西裝的李安,一直是每一次獲獎總會在台上九十度鞠躬的李安,一直是在重大場合一定要感謝自己妻子的李安。假設我們至今還沒見到過李安的照片,我們或許無法在街上認出李安。李安會有回頭率,因為儒雅,卻沒有人認出他就是導演李安。為什麼沒有認出李安?因為李安全身上下,就沒有一點點導演的標識,所以也就沒有導演的範兒。李安不具有導演的範兒,但是李安就是李安的範兒。儒雅不僅僅是李安的表情,更是他的文化內涵,還可以說,謙和不僅僅是李安的做派,更是他為人為藝術的態度。骨子裡的李安,是一個血液里流淌著文化的人。現在的李安,不論是什麼做派都是對的,就像二十多年前的張藝謀,裹了一身軍大衣,蹲在地上嚼著大蔥薄餅,不也是一時之氣派?要說出道,張藝謀早于李安,要說運道,張藝謀也好于李安。1988年《紅高粱》獲得柏林國際電影節最佳故事片金熊獎的時候,李安還在為入行苦苦掙扎,靠了妻子的供養才堅持著藝術之路,他的導演處女作《推手》問世是4年後的事情了。1992年和1993年,張藝謀憑借著《菊豆》和《大紅燈籠高高掛》,攬下了威尼斯國際電影節銀獅獎和金獅獎;1994年,張藝謀的電影生涯達到了巔峰,《活著》獲得了戛納國際電影節評委會大獎、最佳男演員獎(葛優)、美國電影電視金球獎最佳外語片提名;英國電影學院獎……張藝謀就缺一個奧斯卡了,每年奧斯卡名單公佈,國人都在為他惋惜甚至鳴不平。那時候的李安,剛剛厚積薄發。1995年,他的《理智與情感》,獲得了奧斯卡的七項提名,之後的李安,那就是一個沒有導演範兒的國自存倉範兒了,每一部電影都留在了人們的記憶里,並且越來越強化,直至完全取代了人們心目中張藝謀的位置。《喜宴》《飲食男女》《臥虎藏龍》《綠巨人》《斷背山》《色戒》,直至去年的《少年派的奇幻漂流》。與這些電影交相輝映的,是兩屆奧斯卡最佳導演,兩屆柏林金熊,兩屆威尼斯金獅,兩屆英國電影學院獎最佳導演,兩屆金馬最佳導演,兩屆金像最佳導演……李安狂飆突進的時候,張藝謀還在拍電影,不過《活著》之後,作為導演的張藝謀,差不多死了大半,更加出名的倒是鞏張戀分手和“謀女郎”之類。分水嶺漸漸形成,出道稍晚的李安已經領先大陸導演,在他拍了 《臥虎藏龍》之後,張藝謀做了《英雄》,陳凱歌更是用一隻饅頭引發了血案。是李安和張藝謀們攜手共築了分水嶺。人們知道的李安,是一個拍電影的李安,除了拍電影之外,人們不知道李安還在做什麼,還會做什麼。這有兩層意思,一層意思是李安對電影事業的熱愛和專注,另一層意思像是有點不恭敬,那就是,除了拍電影,李安再也沒有其他擅長。我以為,兩層意思都能通達李安。和李安相隔著海峽的張藝謀恰恰是與李安的兩個特點相反,一方面張藝謀擅長電影之外,一方面張藝謀也是心在電影之外。這才是李安電影在華語片一騎絕塵的本因。在李安全力拍片的時候,張藝謀已經分身有術,雖然也在拍電影,但是更多是做氣勢磅�的電影之外的導演:當然也包括奧運會開幕式總導演,還有更多呢——導演歌劇 《圖蘭朵》, 2004年在陽朔導演 《印象·劉三姐》,接著是 《印象·麗江》, 《印象·西湖》, 《印象大紅袍》……在祖國山山水水留下了很多 “印象”的時候,張藝謀電影,不要說得獎,那一部“三槍”什麼的,和那一部“黃金甲”什麼的,留下的是一串段子般的嘲笑;號稱最美的愛情片《山楂樹之戀》想是要挽救“三槍”的惡俗口碑,卻讓我終於得出這樣的結論:此生不再看藝謀;至於 《金陵十三釵》,那只能是張藝謀氣數已盡。 “西北望長安,可憐無數山”,西北恰是張藝謀的祖籍,可謂是,藝謀望李安,可恨斷背山。李安不需要範兒,是因為他就沒範兒。張藝謀不需要獎,因為他……迷你倉

夢想煙霧彈前實踐大學設計學院院長安郁茜如是說:「林純升是台灣少有不受市場影響、忠實生活經驗與自我的設計師。他探討人跟衣服、布料與布料的空間關係。只有不跟隨潮流,迷你倉最平才能引領潮流。」聽到安郁茜這麼說,林純升頓時紅了臉,他有一套「半瓶醋」理論,「只有半瓶醋沒有關係,因為你還有很多空間把醋加滿,最怕明明只有半瓶醋,卻還讓人敲得震天響,等人家探頭一瞧,就會發現你不怎樣」。這跟他是家中次子有很大關係,看過長子承受的壓力,林純升覺得當「老二」很好,「讓我一直抱持著學習的心態」。林純升小時候,家裡是小型的成衣代工廠,10多歲的他就喜歡縫衣服,從無形概念到有形服裝的過程令他著迷不已。小學時寫「我的志願」,他明知自己想當設計師,作文裡卻隻字不敢提,就連填大學志願,前面還要填一堆「煙霧彈」,不讓父母知道自己一心想念設計。拒隨波逐流1996年,還在念書的林純升,已是台灣參加國際設計比賽的代表隊成員,畢業後他進入夏姿設計女裝,還與康嘉偉等人一同創立自己的品牌「7/10」。看似一切順利,林純升卻意識到,「如果我只作服裝,我的眼界會局限在衣服上,我只會關心下一季的流行趨勢」。於是他毅然離開台灣,跑去西班牙投靠同樣作設計的姊姊。2002年,林純升進入西班牙巴塞隆納LLOTJA藝術學院學習絹印設計,隔年又去MASSANA設計學院念藝術珠寶,過去在他眼中很俗氣的黃金,也能如雕塑般散發美感,這改變了林純升的價值觀。以前覺得跟舞蹈沒共鳴,嘗試看過一次,竟有意想不到的收穫。他也發現,西班牙的時尚設計教育偏向技職訓練,在ZARA、MANGO這些快速時尚的影響下,學生對於沿用各大精品的設計概念習以為常。「追逐潮流是件很簡單的事情,有陣子大家都瘋建築元素、巴洛克風、幾合拼貼,如果你只作賣得出去的設計,就永遠作不出自己的東西,就像船不能沒有馬達,否則只能隨波逐流」。征戰馬德里儘管如此,西班牙政府近年在推動服裝設計精品化所投注的資源仍是令人佩服。西班牙各地有許多小型的設計活動,出產紙的小鎮舉辦「紙衣服創作」;如同創意市集的「Ciuda real為你設計嘉年華」,消費者可以到每個設計師的攤位上,請他量身訂作。林純升就在主辦單位的鼓勵下,決定挑戰馬德里時裝周。「當初我排斥作設計的原因之一,就是業界存在很多潛規則,馬德里時裝周也一樣,我既沒錢也沒背景,那時卻有評審跑來挺我」。他在3、400名競爭者中脫穎而出,獲得西班牙政府的全額贊助,甚至連國際媒體的邀約,都由政府一手包辦。異鄉奮鬥14載,他曾被西班牙人嘲笑是迷你倉小中國」,也看見西班牙人真誠率直的一面。如今林純升對成功與否看得很淡,知道自己要什麼,追求而不沉迷。「其實只要把人作好,事情自然會順利。當你很想講一件事情時,自然有人會聽見」。衣服藏隱喻「哲學」是林純升作品中最重要的特質,他形容自己的衣服是「有機物」,能夠跟人們對話。看林純升的設計,眼光不是檢驗,是發掘,會樂於尋找林純升想說的話。他笑言自己是「一人工廠」,每件衣服只作一件,而且親手縫製,他認為這是「對消費者的誠意」。他從葉片的光影變化,設計出層層葉片交疊的灰色洋裝,他引入柏拉圖的思想,「你看見的是葉片?還是光影的變化?或是你看見最深層的本質」。他在宗教畫家朱巴然聖者受難的畫中,震撼於聖者無懼痛楚的祥和表情,他抽取畫中色彩運用在設計上。他思考存在、不存在,從醫學圖片裡畸形的四隻腳,演變出褲、裙作成一件衣服、一件衣服裡有兩件裙子。他探究共生,把鱷魚皮放在皮草領上、把上衣當作變色龍,棲息在充滿礦石稜角的裙子上。讓設計說話林純升最常掛在嘴邊的一句話就是:「我是一個很怪的設計師。」儘管人人讚賞他的設計,他卻討厭讚美,希望大家都能告訴他缺點。「我的設計不會到達完美,但我會不斷追求接近完美,如果做到我生命中最後一天都未能企及,我只求心安」。下一季他要設計「缺點」,「我要告訴大家,我也是人,會犯錯、不完美,當你到達完美,你就要擔心失去完美」。即使林純升自認不完美,但他絕對是個認真的設計師。為了研究葉片形狀變化,他上網蒐購各種植物,觀察從發芽到枯死的生命歷程。小時候他蹲在縫紉機旁看媽媽工作,長大了蹲在樹下看螞蟻走動、在海邊看浪花捲起的線條變化,一看就是數小時。他認為,設計師不能只看時尚雜誌,設計其實就是表達生活態度的方式。他引用了設計師Paul Smith的話:「任何東西都會是靈感,看不見就再看一次。」●小檔案林純升新銳設計師1974年出生於台灣,1997年實踐大學服裝設計系畢業。2011年以「向朱巴然致敬」系列,獲選為馬德里時裝周EGO前衛新銳設計師,2012年二度獲選,並三度參加馬德里時裝周。個人品牌Shen Lin。現正於誠品松菸eslite concept展出Dialogue within Dialogue設計展,至10月1日。●快速對焦三度登上馬德里時裝周從1999到2013年,林純升在西班牙花費14年,找出屬於自己的時尚設計之路。他是台灣第一位三度登上馬德里時裝周的設計師,卻不喜歡人家叫他台灣之光。他形容自己是「不愛響叮噹的半瓶醋,永遠都在追求更好的設計」。儲存

六大葡萄酒專家助陣 明報Wine Club 預告
近年愈來愈多人愛上葡萄酒,儲存閒時購買一兩支紅白酒回家,細嘗杯中物,若然對葡萄酒有更多認識,品酒便更有樂趣。明報將成立Wine Club,邀來多位城中葡萄酒專家助陣,並將定期舉辦試酒聚會,透過專家主持品酒活動及城中大小葡萄酒新聞的報道,加深讀者對葡萄酒的認識。 文:張艾渟圖:黃志東、受訪者提供、helenecanada@istockphoto場地提供:君悅酒店Grissini 明報 Wine Club即將成立,並將定期舉行品酒活動,由葡萄酒專家小組成員主持。參加者可在專家引導下,品嘗不同主題或產區葡萄酒,讓味蕾游走於不同葡萄香氣之間。明報邀來6位葡萄酒專家助陣,包括著名酒評人劉致新、劉偉民、鍾鑑明、鄺英志、蔡榛原與陸潔珊,為明報讀者深入淺出分享葡萄酒的專業知識。有關Wine Club詳情,敬請留意本欄報道。 劉致新 有「劉校長」之稱,早於98 年創辦《酒經月刊》,為同類型刊物的先鋒。出版多本葡萄酒相關書籍, 包括《歎盡澳洲酒莊之旅》、《天作之合——當葡萄酒遇上中菜》等,於多份報章雜誌撰專欄文章。 劉偉民(Ronny) 酒評人兼樂評人,曾推出多本葡萄酒著作,包括《說葡萄酒的語言——法國篇》、《世界之醉》、《酒為上著》,並推出葡萄酒配音樂的CD Music & Wine-The Perfect Matching。現為大中華酒評人協會主席,去年更正式成為釀酒師,推出在意大利釀製的葡萄酒。 陸潔珊(Jennifer Luk) 筆名酒妮花,擁有英國WSET 高級證書、美國葡萄酒教育家協會專業認證烈酒人員認證及美國侍酒師大師協會初級品酒師證書等專業資格,從事葡萄酒活動市場活動籌劃、教育等工作,於港大專業進修學院、HKMA、中大專業進修學院等教授葡萄酒課程。 鄺英志 著名品酒師,法國波爾多葡萄酒學院認可講師,香港葡萄酒評審協會創辦人兼主席。教授葡萄酒課程,並曾出任多個葡萄酒比賽評委,如Everyday Bordeaux。 蔡榛原(Jordan) 前媒體飲食版資深記者。獲法國波爾多葡萄酒學院認證導師(L'Ecole du Vin de Bordeaux)資歷,現為大中華酒評人協會副主席、香港葡萄酒學會會長,曾任多項葡萄酒會評判,現時於香港管理專業協會(HKMA)、僱員再培訓局等機構教授葡萄酒課程。 鍾鑑明(Thomas Chung)熟悉中國葡萄酒市場。早年創立香港專業品酒師協會、侍酒師協會。現於嶺南大學舊生會、HKMA 教授葡萄酒課程,並於《酒經月刊》、《直通車》等刊物撰文。 各人期望 了解口味添樂趣 有「劉校長」之稱的劉致新從事葡萄酒行業多年,有感現時市場愈來愈多元,飲葡萄酒愈來愈「好玩」,「現時市場選擇五花八門,對新手來說可能有點混亂,但是對葡萄酒認識愈多,會愈來愈享受」。他希望Wine Club能增加讀者對葡萄酒的興趣,從中找到樂趣。 品酒師鄺英志同樣認為要先了解口味,才有樂趣,「很多人喜歡葡萄酒,卻未必清楚自己的口味,多參與不同試酒會,嘗試不同風格地域的葡萄酒,你會逐漸發現自己喜歡什麼類型」。他指單是法國已有很多風格迥異的產區,加上新興的產國如南非、泰國、格魯吉亞,甚至印度,葡萄酒領域愈來愈廣泛,選擇愈來愈多。 中立角色助推廣 Ronny 與Jordan 同是愛酒之人,二人均曾從事傳媒,他們期望透過傳媒平台辦葡萄酒活動,以推動葡萄酒文化。「試酒會可能只有幾十人參加,以傳媒平台發放相關資訊,卻可一次過讓更多人獲得葡萄酒資訊」。 Ronny 續指,坊間試酒會較商業化,旨在推銷葡萄酒,如明報能以中立角色辦活動,相信更有助推廣葡萄酒文化。 Jordan 也認為坊間葡萄酒活動質素頗參差, 「坊間有很多不同主題的品酒會、葡萄酒課程,無奈質素有點參差,講者、教師未必有豐富資歷。如果由具公信力的機構主辦,效果定會更好」。 凝聚愛酒之人 Thomas 早年移居澳洲,曾參與當地流行的葡萄酒會, 「形式是多人一起夾錢買酒,品嘗新興的酒,或趁機品嘗平日難以單獨負擔的貴酒,故有些聚會非常均真,會以量杯來倒酒呢」。他認為酒會氣氛良好,參加者可以交流一下。 Jennifer 則認為Wine Club 有趣在可凝聚不同背景的愛酒之人, 「即使大家背景不同,拿起酒杯,大家都變成愛酒的同路人。而且多人聚在一起,可有更多機迷你倉品嘗不同的葡萄酒,從而發掘自己真正喜歡的口味。所以期望明報Wine Club 試酒會可以凝聚更多愛酒之人」。 生活藝術的修煉 明報總編輯劉進圖 品酒,對某些人來說,是一種時尚的消費,對另一些人來說,是調節緊張都市生活的鎮靜劑,對我來說,是一種生活藝術的修煉,值得看重的是品酒的態度,而不是葡萄酒的價錢。 多年前一位長居澳洲的朋友告訴我,可陳年的紅酒開瓶後,除了要給它透透氣,讓紅酒氧化,釋出酒香,還要把瓶底的酒渣去掉,否則喝的時候會有苦澀味。如果家�沒有醒酒器,可以拿一個舊酒瓶,洗淨後倒放晾乾,慢慢把新開瓶的紅酒倒進舊瓶�,剩下最後的十分一不喝,怕浪費的可以儲起來,烹調紅酒燴牛尾之類的菜式。我按這個方法做,發覺慢慢倒酒的過程很有意思,心緒變得淡泊寧靜,全神貫注於手上的點滴涓流,有點禪修的�味。 品酒可複雜可簡單 品酒其實和品茶有很多相似之處。品茶之前,要做許多細緻的準備工夫,從罐子�倒出適量的茶葉,洗滌茶具,準備開水,烹茶時要全神貫注,一絲不苟,才能弄出色香味俱佳的好茶。品酒也是這樣,要小心地用環形?刀把封瓶的金屬封條切除,用開瓶器把瓶塞起出,把酒慢慢倒進適當的容器,耐心等候它「蘇醒」釋出酒香,倒酒進寬口酒杯,緩緩搖晃以觀察酒體和酒色,從「酒腳」往下流動的速度和形態看酒體是否凝實,從酒香中辨別葡萄的品種、泥土的氣息和橡木的芬芳,最後才一口一口的喝,讓每一口酒在嘴唇的上下左右流動,考驗味蕾不同部位的反應,嚥下後再回味那未盡的餘韻,看能否勾起往昔的美好記憶。 品酒,可以很複雜,單是法國酒莊的名字,已多得無法記憶,何�還有加州、澳洲、智利、南非等一系列新世界的酒,教人眼花撩亂。品酒,可以很簡單,不外乎色、香、味、體、韻,五個字而已,酒色是否晶瑩,酒香是否迷人,酒味是否醇厚,酒體是否凝實,酒後有否餘韻,初學者也可以親身品嘗,憑主觀印象逐項評價,說喜歡或不喜歡,這個入門門檻並不高,但往後的知識積累和經驗印證,卻有無窮的學問和趣味。 《明報》開辦酒版,是想推廣品酒文化,讓更多讀者跨過門檻,進入品酒人的世界,也希望與跨過了門檻的朋友交流知識和經驗,共同尋獲更多的學問和趣味。 酒文化Q&A 如何處理喝剩的葡萄酒? Q:喝葡萄酒,有人喜歡上酒吧,找相熟的侍酒師介紹對口味的酒;有人喜歡把葡萄酒買回家,慢慢細嘗當中的果香芳香礦物香,在最熟悉的環境下享受美酒。不過,無論你飲的是入門級還是頂級葡萄酒,都要面對以下問題:如何處理喝不掉的葡萄酒? A:葡萄酒最大的敵人是氧氣,瓶內剩餘的酒一旦接觸空氣就會氧化(oxidize)。氧化的葡萄酒會流失果味,酸度變得明顯,餘韻減少,酒體變得單調。故處理喝不掉的葡萄酒,最重要是減緩氧化過程。 常見方法為「打氣」( 注入氬氣(argon) 、氮氣(nitrogen)此類惰性氣體)、真空酒泵、薄膠膜。真空酒泵最為一般用家使用,原理簡單直接,就是抽走瓶內空氣。酒泵連膠酒塞約百多元,經濟且容易處理,把酒塞套上瓶口,再套入酒泵,快速抽打,抽打愈快阻力愈大,效果便愈好。而薄膠膜新興且簡單,把一層薄薄的膠膜滑進瓶內,浮在酒面(左圖),以把酒面與空氣隔開。這方法雖未被廣泛認同,但勝在容易,且價錢便宜,每塊約$20。而且,再次倒酒時,毋須如真空酒泵般得先移除,使用起來較方便。 「打氣」隔氧效果佳 至於「打氣」,指注入氬氣、氮氣,此類惰性氣體無色無味,密度較氧氣高,以針筒狀工具把氣體注入瓶內,氣體沉降至酒面,把葡萄酒與氧氣隔絕。原理就像把毛氈鋪上酒面。氣體又以氬氣密度較高,效果比氮氣好,價錢也貴上3、4 倍。由於價錢昂貴,一套工具連氣體約$2000,故多用於保存名貴佳釀,或為酒店或高級餐廳採用。無論使用以上任何一種方法,最重要是把酒瓶放入雪櫃,以減慢其氧化速度。 另有一個懶惰的做法,就是隨得紅酒氧化,待它變成醋,就可作紅酒醋汁拌沙律。至於香檳或氣酒,別無他選,只能高高興興的把酒喝完。 文:張艾渟圖:黃志東解答專家:William Chan 真空酒泵酒泵連膠酒塞約百多元,經濟且易處理,最為一般用家使用。圖為使用真空酒泵抽走瓶內空氣。 William Chan 朗豪酒店明閣Wine Guy ( 侍酒師) , 曾於英國著名酒商BerryBrothers & Rudd、半島酒店、Hotel ICON 工作 mini storage

Philadelphia Daily News Howard Gensler column
Source: Philadelphia Daily NewsSept.迷你倉 20--FOLLOWING IN the physics-laden footsteps of co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch, the three principal players of the CBS sitcom hit, "The Big Bang Theory," Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco, may pull a "Friends" and bargain as one next year to get a raise.A big raise.While most middle-class workers have seen their wages stay flat, the top-1 percent triad at "Big Bang" are seeking a bump up to $500,000 per episode for the 2014-15 season.They currently make about $350,000 apiece, per episode, according to Radar Online, about $6 million per year.That's a lot of buck for your "Bang."On the other hand, the sitcom is a huge hit in syndication, and it could ultimately provide producer/distributor Warner Bros. with more than $1 billion in revenue.Some other perspective: If the stars get even a piece of their requested bump next season, each of them will be making more than the entire staff of the Daily News.--In other TV news, NBC is developing a miniseries based on the life of Johnny Carson, host of the "Tonight" show from 1962 to 1992.The series will be based on an upcoming biography of Carson by Bill Zehme. It will cover his childhood in Nebraska and his off-screen life as well as the 30 years he spent at the "Tonight" show. The network hasn't cast an actor to play Carson yet.Good luck with that.But if Lindsay Lohan can play Elizabeth Taylor, one of the guys from One Direction can probably play Carson.--Bryan Cranston will start his post-"Breaking Bad" career in movies as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.A publicist for Cranston confirmed the casting yesterday. "Trumbo" will be directed by "Meet the Parents" filmmaker Jay Roach from a script by John McNamara.As a member of the Communist Party, Trumbo was among the Hollywood 10: screenwriters and directors blacklisted in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Trumbo won two Oscars, one for the script to "The Brave One," written under the name Robert Rich, and another awarded posthumously for "Roman Holiday."True story: Tattle has long wanted to make a movie about blacklisted screenwriter Sidney Buchman. Buchman was also labeled a Communist and denied work, but in his prime he wrote screenplays for "Holiday," "Talk of the Town," "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."We always wondered how the guy who wrote the patriotic "Mr. Smith," could have been tossed out of Hollywood during the Red Scare.TATTBITS--Carole King will be honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year during the 2014 Grammy Awards week.The Recording Academy announced yesterday that King will be saluted by Lamini storagey Gaga, the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Steven Tyler, James Taylor and Jason Mraz. More performers will be announced later.The fundraiser for the academy's charitable foundation will be held Jan. 24 in L.A., two nights before the Grammys. Previous honorees include Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Neil Young.A songwriter and performer with scores of hits from "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" to "You've Got a Friend," King has won four Grammy Awards and was honored with a lifetime-achievement award at this year's ceremony.--The New Jersey state Supreme Court has ruled that municipal judge Vince Sicari can't be both a judge and a comedian.Sicari, who is also an established stand-up comic and actor, tendered his resignation after the high court released a unanimous opinion that said his acting-and-comedy career is "incompatible" with judicial conduct codes.Obviously they never heard of Philadelphia Traffic Court.Sicari, who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and other professional performers' unions, has said his entertainment work entitles him to health benefits and earns him more than his $13,000-a-year part-time judge salary.That's right, he's a part-time judge.And the kicker: Sicari said he would continue practicing law, which the Supreme Court said in its opinion he is entitled to do and which he has done during the time he was a judge.So he could be a lawyer while he was a judge and argue points of view before the court, but telling jokes was a problem?Now that's a joke.--According to Life & Style, Johnny Depp has bought Amber Heard a pair of $50,000 Neil Lane teardrop diamond earrings.The magazine seems impressed by the fact that Depp shelled out $50K on the bauble, but Tattle always likes to put money figures in perspective.Assuming that reports of Depp earning $60 million for "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" are accurate, the equivalent jewelry purchase in the Tattle income bracket would run about $50.Alas, there are no Amber Heard-quality diamonds for $50.--The two craziest star demands reported this past week. Whether they're true or not . . .Performing on the awesome BBC music show "Later with Jools Holland," Kanye West demanded that his dressing room carpet be ironed, because it was not flat enough for him.And in LA, when Gwyneth Paltrow goes to her gym, she demands that someone wipe the shower stall dry before she enters because she doesn't want used water on the wall.- Daily News wire services contributed to this report.Email: gensleh@phillynews.comPhone: 215-854-5678Twitter: @DNTattleCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Philadelphia Daily News Visit the Philadelphia Daily News at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage
