Farmer’s Garden™ by Vlasic® Provides Simple Solutions When You’re in a Wine Pairing “Pickle”


Top 5 Tips to Boost Wine Pairing Proficiency.

MOUNTAIN LAKES, NJ (December 22, 2011) -- As part of its “TasteBuds” entertainment and lifestyle blog (http://www.thetastebudsblog.com), Farmer’s Garden™ by Vlasic®, a Pinnacle Foods Group LLC brand, has tapped guest blogger and chef Jennifer Iannolo of The Gilded Fork to provide tips and advice on wine pairing during this busy holiday entertaining season exclusively on its microsite, http://www.FarmersGardenbyVlasic.com.

In her blog post entitled “Simple Solutions to the Wine Pairing Conundrum,” (http://www.farmersgardenvlasic.com/?p=455) Iannolo shares a step-by-step approach and a host of resources (ranging from high-tech to old-school) to help navigate the wine conundrum with ease.

Here are Jennifer’s top five tips for enjoying the perfect wine selection without panic:

1. First you want to start with your menu: What are you serving? From there you have something to work with - flavor profiles, dominant flavors and a price range.

2. For gadget geeks, there are three stellar wine apps that will do the pairing work for you: Hello Vino, Pair It, and Natalie MacLean Wine Picks & Pairings

3. For old-schoolers, take your dinner menu to your local wine merchant and ask for pairing help. But be careful here. I once went in to get a bottle of wine when I was dressed to the nines with my Louis Vuitton bag, and the merchant escorted me right back to the “vault”, where the most expensive wines lived.

4. Get yourself a copy of Karen Page and Andrew Dornenberg’s book, What to Drink with What You Eat. Broken down by flavor components, this incredibly useful book identifies wines by regions, varietals, and goes even beyond wine in case you want to serve the perfect...water.

5. Great wines can be found anywhere. If you are comfortable doing the pairings yourself some bulk chains such as Costco or Beverages & More offer a decent selection of wines.

FRA shares South Australian plantation industry's water legislation concerns

Forestry Research Associates (FRA) agrees that Victoria, Australia, could see an influx of forestry plantation investment, as a result of the introduction of tougher water policies in the South Australia region.

Seattle, United States, December 22, 2011 -- The South Australian plantation industry said that the new NRM (Commercial Forests) Amendment Bill could require plantation owners in the region to pay for licenses for the use of intercepted water in their irrigation, which they claim could put investors off doing business in the region. Instead, they claim that investors will be drawn to the Victoria region as it does not have the strict licensing rules over the use of rainwater.

The Australian Forest Products Association CEO, David Pollard, stated, “The South Australian Bill threatens to impose costly and burdensome regulations on plantation growers that do not recognise the rights to existing water use in declared areas.”

FRA, which is a research and advisory consultancy specialising in sustainable forestry and forestry investment, stated its support for South Australia’s plantation industry’s concerns. Its analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, “FRA agrees that these new regulations over what should be a free-to-access commodity are outrageous and will surely work to the detriment of the plantation industry in the region. However, forestry investors may now move their cash to Victoria, where the legislation does not exist.”

Mr Pollard continued to explain why investment might make its way to Victoria: “Victoria has released its Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy, which provides recognition for the water rights of existing plantations and the right to ongoing harvesting and replanting at the time a site is declared an intensive management area.”

Plantation projects, such as those operated by Greenwood Management in Brazil, are a popular reforestation tactic in many nations around the world and can offer great investment opportunities for those looking to make cash from investing in trees, added FRA.

Fine art market will grow in Asia, claims AAA

Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has announced its predictions for continued growth within the Asian fine art market.

Boston, MA, USA, December 22, 2011 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has announced it predicts that the market for fine art in Asia will continue to grow, along with prices.

The prediction follows a report by Reuters claiming that art is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative asset class, as people turn their backs on traditional equity markets in fear of losing their money if they should collapse again.

“It’s not surprising that the young in Asia, who are now enjoying a new wealthy way of life, are looking to protect their investments by diversifying risk,” commented AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. His organization promotes the alternative investment market, with particular emphasis on ethical investments and impact investing techniques.

One famous collector, Kai-Yin Lo, who spoke to Reuters about the art market, said, "As East and West get into more of a confluence in taste and in the market place, it will still go up."

She added, "These days art investment has entered into the mainstream of investment, especially for younger people. You cannot divorce love of the piece from what lies behind, the value of it."

It is this that attracts so many people to invest in art. Having stocks, shares or even gold and other commodity investments can bring in the cash, but they cannot be enjoyed in the same way as art can. Art can bring an investor a lifetime of happiness, and pay for their retirement if they have invested well, explained Mr Johnson.

The young people investing in art in China, Hong Kong and elsewhere, expect the value of fine art to increase in the coming years as more people head into the alternative investment market.

Among other asset classes, AAA promotes investment in forestry in developing countries as a way to generate income while putting money into a project that can help reduce climate change. It recommends firms like Greenwood Management as they offer direct investment, instead of fund or REIT-based investments.

TechNavio Announces the Publication of its Report - Global Extended Validation SSL Certification Market 2010-2014

TechNavio today launched its Global Extended Validation SSL Certification Market 2010-2014 report based on an in-depth study focusing on the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions.

London, UK, December 21, 2011 -- TechNavio today launched its Global Extended Validation SSL Certification Market 2010-2014 report based on an in-depth study focusing on the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aids decision makers’ understanding of the present and the future landscape of market.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s IT Security team said, “Increasing competition between vendors is resulting in integration of malware scanning and other added security features in EV SSL certificates. Additional features such as malware scanning, accessibility evaluation, and security-auditing modules help end-users effectively secure their network. Since end-users are now demanding a consolidated solution, which can provide additional security features apart from SSL, vendors providing add-on security modules are experiencing stronger growth.”

According to the report, the major driver for the Global EV SSL Certification market is the high growth in online transactions. The mushrooming of banks and PCI companies is driving end-users toward online transactions. Advantages such as quick transfer and fund transfer at low cost are driving end-users to adopt online transaction practices.

Further, the report also discusses key market challenges such as frequent emergence of new web browsers leading to compatibility issues.

The contents of this report are based on research conducted on an objective combination of primary and secondary scores, including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.

TechNavio today launched its Global HIV Drugs Market 2010-2014 report based on an in-depth study focusing on the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions.

London, UK, December 21, 2011 -- TechNavio today launched its Global HIV Drugs Market 2010-2014 report based on an in-depth study focusing on the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aids decision makers’ understanding of the key trends impacting the growth of this market.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare team said, “Major issues such as resistance to ART, patent expirations, and increasing HIV infections have created a need for novel drugs. The trend is moving towards development of new ART drugs that operate outside infected cells. This could include new class of drugs for entry inhibitors, coreceptor antagonists and fusion inhibitors.”

According to the report, early initiation of Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) is the most effective way to reduce the risk of blood-borne infections. New studies from British Columbia Centre for Excellence (BC-CfE) in HIV/AIDS, San Francisco, states that HAART was associated with a 50 percent decrease in new yearly HIV infections among injection drug users. This driver is expected to have a huge impact on the market.

Key findings from the report:
• Increase in Prevalence of HIV Worldwide and Longer Life Expectancy of Patients
• Lack of Complete Cure and Length of Therapy
• Development of Immune-based therapies for HIV

The contents of this report are based on research conducted on an objective combination of primary and secondary scores, including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.

AAA reacts to Cogent report on alternatives

Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) is highlighting a new report from Cogent that suggests boutique alternative investment providers are becoming increasingly in demand.

Boston, MA, USA, December 21, 2011 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) is highlighting a new report from Cogent that suggests boutique alternative investment providers are becoming increasingly in demand.

Alternative investment advocacy group, AAA, claims that fund managers are under growing pressure from customers to find them interesting, risk-averse and profitable alternative asset classes in which to invest. As a result, boutique providers are proving popular.

Cogent Research’s managing director, Antonio Ferreira, said, "Alternatives are the only category that has had a positive flow in the last 12 months.” He added that a range of emerging boutique alternatives providers are coming on to the market as a result of the growing demand for these kinds of products.

The value of assets under management in alternatives has increased recently and among those with more than 15 per cent of their total investment in alternatives, multi-alternatives tend to be among the most popular options, claimed Mr Ferreira.

AAA welcomes the emergence of some new providers on the market, and their analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, stated, “For a while now, advisors have been claiming that they are under increasing pressure from their clients to put more cash into alternatives. Alternative asset classes, such as forestry real estate, hedge funds and private equity, all offer diversification within a portfolio, which can reduce the correlation between the stock markets and the returns investors receive.”

The Cogent study also found that 40 per cent of wirehouse advisors said that they expect the alternatives market to grow further, a claim that AAA agrees with.

As well as alternatives in general, AAA is particularly keen to stimulate interest in ethical investments, such as schemes that allow investors to buy up small areas of plantation forest in developing countries, such as the scheme run by Greenwood Management in Brazil. “These kinds of alternative investments, that are not closely correlated with the stock markets, represent an attractive option during these tough economic times, added Mr Johnson.

Cedar Fever Arrives in Central Texas

Georgetown Company Says You Do Not Have To Suffer.

Georgetown, Texas - December 20, 2011 -- Cedar Fever, an allergy to pollen generated by Juniper and other Cedar trees in winter, can be a terrible experience for those afflicted. Ecomajik, a Georgetown, Texas based company says that though the Central Texas area is among the worst in the US for allergy sufferers, people do not need to suffer unnecessarily.

Mountain Cedar Fever occurs when your immune system produces the immunoglobulin E antibody in response to the pollen produced by mountain cedar trees. This reddish “dust” can be seen visibly in the air when a breeze or wind blows and dislodges the allergen into the air in clouds of pollen. The result in humans is flu like symptoms that can include itchy, scratchy nose, throat and eyes, coughing, uncontrollable sneezing and overall general discomfort and malaise.

"The solution is to control your indoor air environment through technologies that reduce and remove the offending contaminants from the breathing zone, especially when you sleep" noted Carl Braun, Director of Research for Ecomajik. "Air Purifiers that combine ionic exchange in conjunction with HEPA filters provide the best results and can reduce or completely eliminate small and large particle contamination indoors" he added.

Ecomajik Green Products carries Vollara Fresh Air Surround air purifiers with exclusive Radiant Catalytic Ionization technology originally designed for NASA for use in the Space Shuttle and International Space Station; considered by many to be the ultimate clean room environment.

The bookshelf sized Vollara Air Purifiers are available for the home and office. There is one for the car, similar in size to a radar detector and there is even a personal, portable model about the size of a matchbox that hangs around your neck and keeps contaminants out of your breathing area. The home and office models can protect up to 3,000 square feet with some that can even be installed permanently into your HVAC system. Each of these units also kill all mold, bacteria and viruses like MRSA, H1N1 and CDIF in the air AND on surfaces.

Ecomajik has a retail showroom in the Leander Road Plaza in Georgetown and is also available to remove smoke and odor contamination and to conduct laser air particle analysis in homes and offices.

HawksHead TPMS introduces a Semi-Truck Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Their latest offering, the TnT System (Truck and Trailer) has been introduced to handle demand from Fleet Managers who are only too aware tires and safety should go together.

Vancouver, Canada, December 20, 2011 -- HawksHead have been supplying TPMS for several years and offer systems compatible for motorcycles, cars, race cars and RVs. Their latest offering, the TnT System (Truck and Trailer) has been introduced to handle demand from Fleet Managers who are only too aware tires and safety should go together.

With tires being a large part of the budget, having them running at the correct pressure reduces tire wear, results in fuel savings and most of all provides safety.

Tire inspections and pressure checks should be made at the start of any trip. This process takes time and money, however with the TnT system all tires can be checked for pressure and temperature by the press of a button prior to departure.

Some think checking the tires before departure ensures a trip that will encounter no problems. However, moving on the highway is where deflations and blow-outs happen. The inside duals are more in-accessible, difficult to view and often don't get as much attention as other wheels. Tires can pick up debris and can start to deflate slowly before overloading adjacent wheels, finally causing a blow-out. In addition to the cost of a replacement tire and perhaps a rim, being immobile at the side of the highway can be a major expense. The HawksHead Tire Pressure Monitoring System allows the driver to monitor all wheels on the truck and trailer in real time and wirelessly alarms the driver of deflation or over temperature, allowing them to stop before major damage is caused. With the increased use of super single tires the HawksHead TnT has become a major asset in the Trucking industry.

The TnT system device can monitor up to 22 wheels and has it's own power source which also allows hand-held operation if required. The sensors have replaceable batteries enabling low-cost operation for the system life. The core advantage of the TnT system is the ability to cater for "drop and hook fleets" allowing any trailer to run with any truck simply by the touch of a button.

The system can be installed in a very short time, tires do not need to be removed from the rims for sensor installation unlike other systems using this older technology.

Eastenders Wins the Christmas Panto Battle of the Soaps

SeatChoice says see the 'Soap' stars on the stage this Christmas.

London, UK, December 20, 2011 -- There's no better time to catch TV stars on the stage than Pantomime season and this year sees a particularly good turn-out of celebrities appearing in shows including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

But stars from one ‘Soap’ in particular will be dominating the nation’s panto stages this Christmas. Research by theatre ticket comparison website SeatChoice.com has found no less than fifteen past and present Eastenders’ cast members appearing in pantomimes up and down the country. Everyone from ‘Dirty’ Den Watts to Phil Mitchell and Alfie Moon can be seen in regional theatres slapping thighs and generally hamming it up for the kid’s favourite festive theatre treat.

Here are the Eastenders stars you can see on stage this Christmas:

Shane Ritchie, who plays Alfie Moon, is starring in Aladdin at the Cliffs Pavillion, Westcliffe-on-Sea from the 17th of December to the 31st of December 2011.

Leslie Grantham, who played the legendary ‘Dirty’ Den Watts, is appearing in Mother Goose at The Stag Theatre Sevenoaks until the 1st of January 2012.

Letitia Dean, who played ‘Dirty’ Den’s daughter Sharon Watts, is starring as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the Corn Exchange, Kings Lynn until the 3rd of January 2012.

Steve McFadden, Eastenders hard man Phil Mitchell, is Captain Hook in Peter Pan at the Peacocks Theatre, Woking until the 15th of January 2012. Playing alongside Steve is Harry Derbidge from TV reality show The only way is Essex.

Joe Swash, who played Mickey Miller, stars in Aladdin at the Regents Theatre, Stoke on Trent until the 15th January 2012. Joe was also the winner of the 2008 series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

Sid Owen, otherwise known as long suffering Ricky Butcher, stars in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the White Rock Theatre, Hastings until the 31st December 2011.

Dean Gaffney, who played Robbie Jackson, plays Wishee Washee in the Thameside Theatre, Grays production of Aladdin which runs until the 8th January 2012.

Larry Lamb, who played the murdered Archie Mitchell, is the wicked Abanazar in Aladdin at the Ashcroft Theatre, Croydon until the 2nd January 2012.

John Partridge, who plays Christian Clarke, is appearing in Cinderella at the New Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury with TV presenter and magician Stephen Mulherne until the 22nd January 2012.

Stefan Booth, who until recently played Gregg Jessop, is appearing as Prince Stefan in the Palace Theatre, Redditch production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The show runs until the 31st of December 2011.

Glynnis Barber played Glenda Mitchell, the manipulative mother of Roxy and Ronnie. She’s now appearing as the Wicked Witch in Sleeping Beauty at the Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbridge Wells until the 2nd January 2012.

David Spinx, who played Keith Miller, is in the Churchill Theatre, Bromley production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with Patsy Kensit until the 8th January 2012.

Devon Anderson, who played Carol’s son Billie Jackson, is Jack Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Shaw Theatre, London until the 31st December 2011.

Louisa Lytton, who played Ruby Allen, takes the lead role in Cinderella at the Camberley Theatre until the 2nd January 2012.

Lucy Benjamin, who played Phil Mitchell’s one time lover Lisa Fowler, is appearing in Peter Pan at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton until the 14th January 2012.

SeatChoice.com founder Robert Iles said: “It’s a good job they film Eastenders a few weeks in advance otherwise there'd be very few characters left in Albert Square for the Christmas episodes! Pantomimes are a great British tradition and it’s marvellous to see that plenty of TV celebrities are still up for having a bit of fun at Christmas without taking themselves too seriously. Soap villains transfer brilliantly into panto baddies such as Abanazar in Aladdin and Captain Hook in Peter Pan, but it must be quite a change for the actors to hear the boos and hisses of the audience for a change.

“If you're looking for pantomime tickets, SeatChoice.com can make it easy to find available seats at the best prices. And because we only deal with legitimate ticket agents, when you find tickets through us you can be confident you'll not be falling prey to theatre ticket scam sites hoping to take advantage of families booking their Christmas trip out.”

Visitors to the site can search for specific productions and gigs if they know exactly what tickets they want or browse types of shows and events before checking ticket availability and pricing.

FRA states that it hopes Paragominas's methods catch on

News that the town of Paragominas in Brazil is being hailed as a new 'Green City', after once being one of the most deforested regions of the Amazon, has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

Seattle, United States, December 20, 2011 -- News that the town of Paragominas in Brazil is being hailed as a new 'Green City', after once being one of the most deforested regions of the Amazon, has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

Just three years ago the forest surrounding the city was ravaged by deforestation and the air lay heavy with smoke and fumes from the fires that raged in order to clear land for cattle grazing. FRA, a research and analysis consultancy specialising in forestry investment and sustainability matters, claims that the region is a model of what sustainability can do for the Amazon region.

FRA says that things really changed in the city after the people living there become convinced, thanks to efforts from the government, that the forests were more valuable while they were standing, than when they were turned into wood products.

The government of the country helped to create this sense of value after launching embargoes against the counties that performed the worst with regard to deforestation. “this left the people of Paragominas very little choice but to find a way to make sure their forestry management practices made sense over the long term through sustainability,” explained FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins.

Mayor Adnan Demachki go behind the changes, explaining to the San Francisco Chronicle: "Our city was on the government's 'black list. There was no way out other than the new path we had chosen."

The secret to the changes is the use of less land while increasing production. Sustainable forestry management methods are central to this, added FRA, which promotes such methods including the planting of non-native species that can offer an alternative to using wood from native trees for the production of coal, pulpwood and other timber products.

Mr Collins concluded, “we hope that the methods used by those in Paragominas continue to spread across the Amazon regions, safeguarding the future of the forestry industry and the forests for generation to come.”
