The Non-news

It is a damn good thing for the press that I am an ardent supporter of a free press. If I were not, being as incensed and livid at what passes for a "press" in this country as I am right now, I would probably be calling for their regulation to ensure that they actually cover things that are really news in their so called newscasts. As many of you know, although many of you may not care, Sunday is the NFL Championship. This event is either referred to as the Super Bowl (if you do not fear that the NFL will sue you for daring to use the name) or "The Big Game" (if you do fear that the NFL will sue you for daring to use the name). The contest will pit the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals and is the focus of a great deal of coverage here in my home city of Pittsburgh.

There does however get to be a point where the "news coverage" of the Super Bowl (yes, it is true, I do not fear the NFL), the teams, the players and the events surrounding it become a little absurd and no longer borders on newsworthy. At that point, when coverage of the event trumps legitimate news, is where I get upset with the media and the press. I can understand ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPN4 and FOX Sports covering every little thing related to the Super Bowl, including what color cars the fans are driving, in an attempt to fill a twenty-four hour broadcast day because that is what those stations do. Those stations cover sports and they do it wall to wall. I can even understand legitimate coverage of the event during the five or ten minute segment normally dedicated to sports during the local news. This week we have, I believe, officially reached the tipping point with our local Pittsburgh news.

Why? Remember the Mean Joe Green Coke ad from 1979? You know the one where the kid gives Mean Joe a Coke as he is hobbling off the field and he then reciprocates by tossing the kid his jersey as a souvenir? Well, the ad is back, but this time with Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and the Pittsburgh media was all over it like flies on poop, white on rice, Bill Clinton on an intern, Gov. Blagoyovich on a Senate appointment, Teddy Kennedy on a bottle of Chivas Regal, Barack Obama on tax hikes for the rich and Rep. Murtha on our troops for being murderers all in one fail swoop.

The hype over a mere ad from Coca-Cola was used on Monday and Tuesday to get viewers to tune in as promos for the discussion of it were run prior to the local newscasts to persuade people to tune in. They were also run during the broadcasts to make sure you remembered why you tuned in to the local news in the first place even though the coverage was buried way behind the lead story that would not have sold as much soap and therefore was not enough of a reason to tune in I guess. By Tuesday morning, after hearing once again more promos touting the new Coke ad with Troy Polamalu and the sneak peak that the news and Coca-Cola was graciously giving us, I had had enough of the mindless pandering and Coliseum like mentality that was being used to distract from real issues that needed coverage. All I needed at that point was a window out of which to yell, "I’m mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!"

Luckily for my neighbors I was not near a window.

I like sports. I love the Steelers. I even think that Troy Polamalu seems like a swell enough guy. Even though Dan Rooney is a loon who has fallen in love with the Messiah, Barack Obama, now resting at the right hand of God, I am not holding that against the team. But a new Coke ad is not news, much less news that warrants two full days of coverage even in Pittsburgh. It does not even come close to being classified as such.

Ok, perhaps I might be willing to concede that it is "news" the day after Barack Obama leads us all to the promised land and our every want and need is fulfilled and the rivers each run freely with three kinds of chocolate, when gumdrops grow from the trees and when those lovable, free-range marshmallow peeps live a life free of fear from hungry little children with ravenous sweet teeth craving their soft, puffy innards. Maybe, on that day, after all other problems have been solved, it might be news. Maybe, that is, if we can hope that someone will not claim to be a victim of discrimination because the gumdrop trees are not producing enough of their favorite flavor. But that is ok! Because President Obama will magically make the correct flavor appear in quantities sufficient enough to satisfy the discontented with a wave of his hand. You know he will. And even if he does not, his followers will still give him credit for doing it.

But since that day has not happened, a full day plus of "coverage" of this "news" is a bit much. Especially considering that it is a commercial. Are there not more serious things that we should be covering other than giving Coca-Cola some free publicity when they could just buy air time to hype their own commercial? And yes, I know that I am also giving them publicity too by discussing this. But unlike the mindless newscasts I actually have a point in about it whereas they are just looking to pander to swooning Steelers fans and fill up space because hard news would be too hard to cover.

What would happen if, say, that sixty second segment discussing the oh so important implications of the new Coke ad were replaced by a serious discussion of all the unconstitutional pork in the so called "stimulus" bill currently being fawned over by politicians in Washington looking to buy votes? It is just a thought you know.

What we have here is a prime example of a phenomena I have talked about before and where, much like in the Roman Empire, the populace was distracted with lavish displays of competition that were made the focal point of everyday life. They would fill the Coliseum with subjects to watch sport and distract them from caring about politics. Today, more people in Pittsburgh could tell you that Troy Polamalu is the star of a new Coke ad and could name the starting defensive line-up of the Steelers defense than they could tell you who Gov. Blagojevich is much less that he is just the latest in a long line of corrupt Illinois Governors. They could name Ben Roethlisberger’s stats more quickly than who President Obama’s Treasury Secretary is and that he has not been able to figure out the tax code himself but will be in charge of making sure you do. They could tell you that James Harrison won defensive player of the year honors but not know that one of President Obama’s most pressing matters, that just needed to be solved upon entering office, was to make sure that the U.S. taxpayer funds the murder of unborn children in every country around the world. They could certainly tell you that Ken Whisenhunt is a former Steelers coach now leading the Cardinals but probably not that politicians in Washington are feverishly trying to find a way to get ACORN millions of taxpayer dollars as political payback for their activities in the past election. And they could even give you their learned prediction on the final score more readily than discuss the hypocrisy of how Democrats who constantly referred to President Bush as a failure at everything he did for eight years are now complaining that Rush Limbaugh dared to say that he hopes Obama fails at implementing the biggest socialist agenda in American history.

So get your seat in the Coliseum and mindlessly watch the sport if you want and turn on the nightly non-news. Meanwhile those of us with a clue will be out here trying to put out the fires that are slowly destroying this nation from within.

Mount Holyoke College - Sentence Openers In Human Kindness

Don't ask me how I ended up in New York City; all I know is that by the grace of God I am here, scratching a living and trying to be a man of right. I keep to myself, I am respectful, and I love my neighbor. Though I only went to school through the third grade, I have a thirst and hunger for knowledge.

But this story is about Mrs. Poumier -not I- and I want to put it in paper right quick while I still have this sadness that is gnawing at my guts and heart. If I write it out I feel I will get it out of my guts, heart, and mind. And get some peace. It is not that I want to cure myself from this melancholy, nor that I want to lessen my guilt, or much less lay blame on someone-no sir, or madam; not at all. It is that I want to pay my respects to Mrs. Poumier, the only Anglo friend I had in this great country that I love as much as I love my own.

In one bit you'll see why I am so sad: Mrs. Poumier -my sweet dear friend- died a day after Thanksgiving.

For those who might be wondering how a person like me -with low education and low wits- would dare attempt to write a story, I will say that I read a lot. I've read somewhere that Cervantes, the author of Don Quijote -the novel I would rescue from a burning building- also went only to the third grade; but he read every piece of paper that came into his hands. So, that is what I do: read everything! Not only I read at Barnes and Noble, Borders, and other bookstores, but I am familiar with every public library in Manhattan. Reading is my passion. And so was Mrs. Poumier's. In fact that is how we met. In the summer, during my lunch break, as I sat on the stoop of the building where she lived and read One Hundred Years of Solitude, she floored me when she looked at the title, exclaiming with great relish: "The best novel of the 20th century!" And that was the beginning of our friendship. Later in our developing friendship, Mrs. Poumier revised my stories, corrected them, and gave me advice: "Watch how you begin your sentences. Sentence openers will clue the reader. Too many words ending in 'ly,' too many adjectives go on a 'which' hunt."

Being an orphan I was raised by an aunt and my grandmother. Despite the fact that a number of years have gone by since my grandmother-'abuelita' Guadalupe- died, her image is so fixed in my brains that I can say she is very much alive in my mind and heart. When my gramma died she left me a medallion with the image of the 'Virgencita de Guadalupe.' Superstitious as I am, I feel that as long as I have this sacred token, nothing bad could happen to me.

Because Mrs. Poumier resembled -in looks and spirit- my grandmother, I made it a point of befriending her.

For almost two years I've been employed in this catering service on 1st Avenue, near Sutton Place. But just because one mentions Sutton Place doesn't mean that everyone around here is wealthy. No Sir. In fact, Mrs. Poumier, who lived half a block away from One Sutton Place, was poor-poorer than me! To be blunt, her social security check and a small annuity is all she had left, after her son -a big shot stockbroker- lost her portfolio which he had loaded with Internet stocks. That is what she tells me, but I suspect something more sinister-a dishonest son.

Yet in spite of her poverty she never said anything bad about her children. When her portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities was managed by Smith Barney, she did well and was able to send her son to Harvard Business School, and her daughter to Columbia Law School. Joy and pride would spark in her eyes when she spoke of her children.

One day she intimated to me that most of her income went to pay for her rent and that she had very little left for other things, including food. "Not that I am a miser," she said to me. "It is just that I have to watch every penny." Yet, she would go meal-less for a day or two so that she could buy the NY Sunday Times. "That's something I cannot do without-onerous as it might be!" she told me once.

I loved to listen to her. I loved the cadence in her voice; in her voice I found a refined diction; in the diction elegance, an elegance that revealed nobility, and in that nobility the milk of human kindness that more than kindness was love for neighbor. "We girls had to practice good diction and write well," she told me once. "I went to Mount Holyoke College, you know," she mentioned once as if I would know what she was talking about. And I could see in her bright eyes that those might have been the best years of her life. Of course I did a little research later and found out that Mount Holyoke College is an all-women college reputed for producing excellent writers.

To reciprocate her goodwill one fine day I gave her my 'Virgencita de Guadalupe' medallion. "Nothing bad will happen to you as long as you keep this," I explained to her.

Knowing about Mrs. Poumier's thin budget, I spoke to Sadeek, the attendant in the candy store two doors down from where I work, and he agreed to sell me the blessed newspaper at half-price. When I told him it was for Mrs. Poumier, he reduced the price to one dollar. And we cooked up a plausible story to tell her. That Sunday when she came to buy the paper Sadeek told her that if she came back at 12 noon, she could buy the paper for only $1, since by then all the customers had picked up their copies and the leftovers could be sold at a lower price. He would set it aside for her. Of course Sadeek asked her to keep mum about that or he would be in trouble with other customers.

Where I work we prepare gourmet food, which we sell for the most outrageous prices. Emiliano, the first cook, fixes this 'arroz con pollo" -listed in the menu as 'poulet de la maison du roi'- which we sell for $29 a meal. Go figure. And people from Park Avenue to Sutton place call us for the delicacy which to tell the truth costs less than a dollar to prepare. And if you throw in the labor (minimum wage, no benefits), rent, and overhead, you can add another dollar. Nice business. Nifty profits. The owner of the store, an immigrant from Romania, is a good man; very strict, a little humorless, but kind-hearted.

Because I speak English better than he does, he lets me handle the customers, the fax, e-mail, and telephone orders. And in the afternoon and evenings I deliver the orders of Emiliano's exquisite dishes. I don't want to digress but I must say that Emiliano was born to cook. Our wealthy customers -many of them celebrities I recognize- can't get enough of his creations. Yet, the man can barely read and write and never uses written recipes!

When any of the machines -ovens, freezers, refrigerators, cash register, coffee and espresso machines, and other objects- breaks down, I fix it. No machine has been invented that I cannot fix. So, the man is happy with me. As a result he only comes a few hours a day, but mainly to balance the receipts for the day and to do some bookkeeping.

During my lunch hour I would bring Mrs. Poumier a full meal of the special of the day. Nothing -that is absolutely nothing- in my life gave me more pleasure than to see Mrs. Poumier enjoy her meals-all for free. For her birthday (late August) I swiped a bottle from the cellar of a $40 white wine, and we all -I brought Emiliano and Sadeek with me- had a few glasses. How glorious she looked that day: her delicate features glowed with happiness when we sang the 'happy birthday' song. Once in a while a pang of morals would jolt me and tell me that I might be stealing from my employer; but I would quickly counter the pang with the thought that just fixing one freezer I save the establishment two or three hundred dollars, and if you multiply this for six to eight times a month, you can well see that $2 (cost of the meal) will not set my patron back that much.

Ah, humanity and inhumanity! One sad day, Mrs. Poumier told me that I should not bring her any more meals because her daughter -a partner in a premier law firm- had come to visit her and told her to stop spending her money in extravagant meals. "I know the prices these people charge," she had yelled at her. Not only had she yelled at her, but she had threatened to sue us - my catering place- for taking advantage of a poor senile defenseless old woman. The nerve of those people! Furthermore, she had threatened to put her in a home.

Fearful that I might lose my job I told Emiliano not to fix the meals for Mrs. Poumier anymore. For many days I felt despondent and hard as I tried to understand where I had gone wrong-I could not.

During the month of October and November I saw Mrs. Poumier around the neighborhood a few times; she looked unkempt, the spark of vivacity in her eyes gone; gone also was the lilt and sweetness of her voice.

Knowing how much I cared for the sweet lady, that Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, my friend Plutarco -the doorman- came running to tell me that my good friend had collapsed in the lobby; that the paramedics had pronounced her dead. "This lady is way undernourished-skin and bones!" the paramedic had exclaimed.

As Plutarco gave me the sad news, he also gave me my "Virgencita the Guadalupe' medallion, which Mrs. Poumier had dropped when she collapsed. Plutarco knows I am a man not given to tears, but that day he saw me cry my eyes out; even Sadeek came out of the store and sat next to me and tried to console me.

More than tears for the loss of my good friend, I raged at my suspicion that Mrs. Poumier had not wished to die the day before and spoil Thanksgiving Day for her son and daughter and grandchildren; the two families own houses in Long Island.

Uncared and unloved by both son and daughter, she's now with my Virgencita de Guadalupe who will give her all the love that she didn't have here on this harsh concrete and asphalt shore that is Manhattan. Nothing bad will happen to her there-really.

Before I close let me put into practice her advice by removing the adverbs ending in 'ly,' go on a 'which hun,' and watch my sentence openers.

Perfume Bottles Seduce Like The Scents They Contain

Why do perfume bottles captivate and seduce us? The scent that the bottles contain are the real prize but the bottles themselves seduce with their shapes and colors. What is the perfume bottle? We are asking a kind of existential question. It is the outward looking statement of what the perfume is. The perfume or the scent appeals to the sense of smell but the perfume bottle appeals to the touch and the sense of sight.

The new Nina Ricci perfume 'Nina', with its rococo pink shades and heart shaped bottle, is captivating. The perfume, it is said, is for the young woman looking for surprise and adventure and the heart shaped bottle with its pink shade is part of the whole aura and experience. The perfume is an experience and Nina Ricci has tried to create the complete experience with its heart shaped perfume bottle.

Nina Ricci is part of a long line of makers who have appealed to the sense of sight and touch with their perfume bottles. Guerlain's 1925 perfume Shalimar still captivates as does Mugler's Angel. Perfumes are traditionally luxury items. They are treasured gifts and the perfume bottle is an integral part of this luxury. 'Mitsouko', Guerlain's 1919 perfume as well as the original Lanvin Arpege 1927 bottle are other famous perfume bottles. They show the importance of the perfume bottle as a part of the complete experience of luxury, that a perfume gives the woman.

Why is the perfume bottle so important? The perfume bottle appeals to the woman's innermost search for luxury, glamour and the game of seduction. An expensive perfume is a real gift from a man to a woman. It is still viewed as the ultimate gift and so the whole package is important; the bottle as well as the fragrance inside.

Perfume bottles can turn into prized possessions. Other bottles of some notable commercial perfumes are Beyond Paradise, an Estée Lauder perfume of 2003, Cabochard from Parfums Grès (1959), Bellodgia from Caron (1927) and Pour Un Homme from Caron (1934).

'Beyond Paradise', the 2003 perfume by Estee Lauder, with its captivating rainbow colors, evoke a sense of mystery. The colors are not sensual. There is a classicism and restraint in the colors and the stopper too is almost hidden in the neat cylindrical shape of the bottle. This perfume bottle with its grace in design prepares us for the scent inside. The perfume bottle seduces us with its shape and design and then there is the scent itself! Everything is luxury and seduction here. Beyond Paradise is an example of the importance of good design for perfume bottles.

Dior's Miss Dior Cherie, on the other hand, has a light airy flirty look. Notice the bow also and the airy pink shades. If the woman wants to feel light and sexy and colorful, Miss Dior Cherie is for that woman. Its square container, imbued with a light rococo pink shade, has a certain 'look'. We can say that the perfume has a 'look' and this is due to the perfume bottle. Miss Dior Cherie has a light and airy look and the bow too! We know that this perfume is for a different type of woman or a different mood than Lanvin's Arpege or Guerlain's Shalimar.

The perfume bottle is a key to what's inside and it tells us about the perfume. Perfumes aim to capture moods and feelings. Some perfumes are aimed towards romance and its playful side, others towards mystery and evocation. Perfume bottles in some way are the tangible part of the perfume as the fragrance is the intangible.

The taste of bottled water is subject to variation depending on the area where they get their water for bottling, methods of treatment of water used by the bottlers and the time between packaging and actual consumption. This is because the bottled water that has been opened and left unrefrigerated for several weeks before reaching consumers. Most water treatment systems are not able to remove all unwanted contaminants, chemicals and bacteria are the main cause of the lack of taste in bottled water.

People who have tried drinking pure water directly from a natural source - the mountain stream or well kept will tell you how nice the pure water can be tested. This is simply because natural water is free chlorine, contaminants and other chemicals. Moreover, the presence of traces of natural minerals water is intact and therefore contributes to taste.

When traveling abroad, you should know that the water in a bottle presented in May actually it is the supply Local water. In this situation, be sure to see an open bottle of water in front of you and checking of natural mineral waters, the words "on the label. Some say bottled water is preferable because it has been cleaned with bleach. But it is more expensive because the benefits of health mineral water against bottled water is generally immense.

From the perspective of water bottling, water must be safe and free of disease and is therefore not surprising that most bottled water is not particularly tasty drinks tastes and smells strongly of chlorine. While consumer choice has been so good he wants to clean water and clear?

Drinking water after leaking faucet is a good choice because it is inexpensive and can improve the taste, as long as you remember to regularly replace the filters or bacteria and pollutants can accumulate and flow into the water. You can make your tap water for better flavor if you use a water purifier in the home. A simple carbon filter system origin blocks is cheap and easy to install and give years of service, all that is needed is a simple cartridge change every six months faster.

Of course, some people like a little more flavor, even when they have a cleansing effect. We suggest you add slices of fresh fruit in filtered water and then store in a bottle sealed at night. It is preferable personally filtered water bottle in the refrigerator and take work with you and when you travel.

Many people feel bottled water as a way to get a clean, safe drinking water. Even such became popular for a walk with a water bottle in hand, like most celebrities do. Unfortunately, a study showed that people that 25% of bottled water is slightly cleaner than tap water. Worse, the bottled water industry not strictly regulated, which could leave consumers at risk. Recently it was revealed that plastic bottles make chemicals harmful content, especially when exposed to heat. Note that the risks of alcohol in water bottles, plastic goes beyond exposure to pollutants found in plastic.

Have you ever felt a nagging of your conscience when you had a sip of water from your plastic water bottle or when you had a chance to see the dustbins at a scenic spot flooded with these? If your answer is yes! Read on and be delighted.

The environment that we share has been affected and we are the major culprits. In answer to the plastic water bottles, the paper water bottle emerges as an eco – product made of recycled material. They aim at decreasing the usage of these plastic bottles and an increased usage of these will lead to a cleaner environment. Americans throw 60 million plastic bottles on an average per day. Statistics claim only that 14% of them are recycled. So, the rest of it ends on the earth as litter. According to National Association for Pet Container Resources (NAPCOR), 2.7 million tons of plastic PET bottles hit the shelves in the U.S and four fifth of it went into landfills. In the name of cleanliness and purity, we have managed to increase the garbage.

A clear examination of the above implies that the organization ‘Brand Image’ has taken into account the issues of the environment and the bottling companies. Their solution is the ‘360 paper water bottle’ which is a sustainable, innovative and eco-friendly solution.

They have utilized sheet stocks made from bamboo, palm leaves and other plants. When these sheets are pressed into two halves, a highly degradable micro thin poly-lactic acid (PLA) film forms and this creates as a barrier and prevents spillage. The bottle comes with a plug to seal the bottle. When this is removed, the torn paper is tethered to act as a cap. They are die stamped together and therefore eliminating the usage of a six-pack carrier. Natural dyes add color to these bottles and also allow company graphics to be embossed upon. The paper board tag is a further space for marketing the brand. The eco-boards act as pallets and shipping containers.

The advantages of these products are:

• Safe and user-friendly
• Resealable cap for protecting the contents
• 6 packs made of recycled material
• Ecoboard shipping containers
• Natural dyes for a warm and colorful appeal

Companies that bottle water, fruit drinks, soft drinks and even beer will need to act upon. Their decisions and further actions will help eliminate a huge amount of plastic material from our planet. We need a win-win not just for the companies and the consumers but also Earth, our planet. The organizations must become responsible and accountable.

Brand Image is an international design agency aiming at revamping the innovation process through a responsibly designed product. Their product is fortified as a brand at all levels like strategy, usage and differentiation. They aim at delighting the manufacturer and the consumer in a responsible manner. They have challenged the usual norms in producing a plastic water bottle at all levels and have come up with a 360 degree solution, an extremely radical one at that.

When collecting Chinese antique snuff bottles, one can choose to collect glass, porcelain, bottles made from organic materials (such as amber or coral), or perhaps the inside painted bottles, but there is sure to be a time when one will decide to collect, or at least add some hardstone bottles.

Hardstone bottles can be found in a variety of materials such as jade, quartz, chalcedony, hair crystal, tourmaline and many more. There are some wonderful shapes and colours to be found and even some stone bottles have images, or pictures, formed from the natural inclusions found in the rock.

When studying auction catalogues one will now and then come across, within the description of antique stone bottles, the comment ‘well hollowed’ just as when discussing bottles with a dealer this term will also be used. When this comment is missed beware, as all good antique stone bottles should be ‘well hollowed’ and if they are not then suspect they are fakes!

Antique Chinese snuff bottles were made to be used and had to be well hollowed, to hold sufficient snuff, this raises the question how well hollowed is ‘well hollowed’? Most good antique bottles are considered well hollowed if the bottle will hold a good portion of snuff and does not feel too heavy. Remember, as a guide, they were often worn in the sleeve. But the most valuable finest stone snuff bottles are exceptionally hollowed out, so much so, that they often look like they have been blown (like glass). These are referred to as ‘eggshell thin’ or ‘floaters’ because although they were carved out of a rock they are so well hollowed, that they will float in water!

These stone bottles are examples of amazing skill, because all the hollowing out has been performed through a very small hole in the neck of the bottle. Even the areas we refer to as the shoulders of the bottle (these are most difficult areas to hollow out), have to be very thin, for the bottle to trap enough air to make it float.

There are some wonderful jade bottles that float, yet jade is one of the hardest stone to carve, not only is it an exceptionally hard material but it also has certain weaker points where it can easily fracture.

Having shown a couple of bottles (one well hollowed the other not) to lapidary workers, equipped with all the most modern cutting and drilling tools, to find out if they could change the poorly hollowed out bottle, into a well hollowed one and what it would cost. Not one would take on the task and the general view was, that even if they tried, the cost would be considerable, due to the time it would take them, but in addition no one would accept the risk involved, of possibly ruining the bottle in the process!

The explanation of how these antique stone bottles were originally carved and so well hollowed out, were all down to years of experience and the slow labour of love, where the carver did everything by hand without any thought about how much time it took.
