ABOUT MICHAEL FEINSTEIN

Born: Sept. 7, 1956 Birthplace: Columbus, Ohio In the beginning: Began playing piano at age 5. ... Developed an ear for music and began to play that way. ... Worked in piano bars until he turned 20, then went to Los Angeles. ... Got the Gershwin gig. ... Continued to polish his craft as an American singer, a pianist, a music revivalist, and an interpreter of the Songbook. ... The Library of Congress elected him to the National Sound Recording Advisory Board, an organization dedicated to safeguarding America’s musical heritage.

Recordings: Did his first CD, Pure Gershwin, in 1986. Also: Live at the Algonquin, Remember, Isn’t It Romantic, Over There, and project for which he performed the music of a composer and was accompanied by the composer, including Burton Lane, Jule Styne, Jerry Herman, Hugh Martin, Jimmy Webb and Jay Livingston/Ray Evans. He also cut Nice Work if You Can Get It and Michael and George. He also has a children’s album, Pure Imagination, and his albums of standards include Forever, Such Sweet Sorrow, Big City Rhythms, Romance on Film/Romance on Broadway, Live with the Israel Philharmonic and Hopeless Romantics.

Entrepreneur: Owner of the Manhattan nightclub, Feinstein’s, at the Lowe’s Regency in Manhattan, and he was a part owner of the Speakeasy Supperclub in Chicago. He has an interest in the Shaw theatre in London, which will become Feinstein’s at the Shaw.

The Carmel Performing Arts Foundation and the Michael Feinstein Foundation for the Great American Songbook today announced that the Music Hall in the developing Performing Arts Center will become the permanent home of Feinstein’s extensive collections related to 20th-century American music.

Feinstein, 51, is an accomplished vocalist and pianist and a noted collector and archivist of the group of music known as the Great American Songbook. Early in his career, he was employed to catalog the considerable collections of world-famous American composers George and Ira Gershwin. Building a life-long relationship with Ira and his wife, Leonore, Feinstein ultimately took control of the collections and has continued to work to expand them in both scope and content. Today, the Feinstein Foundation’s collected works rival or exceed those amassed by the Library of Congress.

As Feinstein’s collection has grown, his foundation’s board of directors - which includes former Office Depot vice chairman Irwin Helford and Gershwin nephew and trustee Michael Strunsky - determined that it now has reached the mass necessary to justify the creation of its own museum and center.

Through a relationship with Feinstein’s attorney, former Marion County Clerk Doris Anne Sadler was chosen to lead a national search for an appropriate site for the Songbook. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard approached Sadler to tell the story of the emerging Music Hall in the Performing Arts Center as a potential home for the Songbook a year ago. Since then, Lincoln Center in Manhattan and the Performing Arts Center in Palm Beach, Fla., were considered and eliminated. Brainard spent time in Manhattan with Feinstein and invited a delegation of the board to visit Carmel during the winter. In spite of extraordinary, last-minute efforts by Las Vegas to attract the Songbook to be a part of its new civic performing arts complex, Carmel ultimately was chosen this week.

“The Songbook’s arrival in Carmel will lay the foundation for the Performing Arts Center’s legacy,” Brainard said. “We couldn’t be more excited and pleased to have this caliber of collection and entertainer in our midst. It all will enrich Central Indiana’s arts movement beyond compare. The children of

Carmel, Westfield and other communities in the area truly will benefit by this multi-faceted cultural opportunity for education and enrichment.”

Feinstein is equally enthused. “We are delighted to be bringing the Songbook to Indiana. The Carmel Performing Arts Center complex provided a unique opportunity to build and enhance the work under way by the Feinstein Foundation in education, preservation and performance,” he said.

Westfield mayor Andy Cook said he believes nothing but good can come from this.

“With [the Songbook] coming to Carmel, it provides all of Carmel, Westfield, Fishers and Noblesville the opportunity to educate our children: perhaps have them go away to college and then want to come back,” he said.

“I’ve often said it’s a unique product that comes out of Hamilton County, and this is another example of that. For the entire county, Jim (Brainard) is providing the momentum.

This is very exciting.”

Current has learned that Carmel city government did not make any direct cash investment to acquire Feinstein and his Songbook, and it will instead assist in the fundraising required to build out undeveloped space in the upper floors of the PAC to house the collections and staff offices.

According to Sadler, Carmel was chosen in part because of the world-class facility under construction and because of strong local support for the Songbook. “The Songbook was largely popularized by the people of the Midwest entertaining their families with the sheet music of Gershwin, (Hoagie) Carmichael, and (Cole) Porter. It seemed only right that the Songbook should return home,” she said.

Even as the facility is rising at the corner of Third Avenue Southwest and City Center Drive, plans are under way by the Feinstein foundation for the launch of an international music festival to celebrate and study the Songbook. While details are not yet finalized as a result of the site selection being made known only today, Feinstein’s foundation imagines that the Songbook will ultimately include education and performance venues throughout the City Center complex and across Central Indiana.

Steve Greenberg of Current Publishing, LLC contributed to this report.

OUR TAKES Is our position that our region must do all within its power to complete the Performing Arts Complex now under construction at Carmel’s City Center to a level worthy of its historic role in preserving The Great American Songbook.

Thus far, this task has fallen exclusively to municipal leadership; now it is time for corporate and philanthropic investment.

In securing the permanent placement of a museum and educational facility with a collection of this genre that is rumored to surpass even that housed at the Library of Congress, leaders at the Performing Arts Center have certainly exceeded expectations. The future and

The Soul of It

unprecedented opportunity for education, performance and research regarding the American Song that will be brought to our region from around the city, nation and world will provide significant cultural, economic and quality-of-life enhancements.

We must endeavor to construct a Center that is worthy of its unique and important place in the perseveration of American history. That said, elected officials must remain ever vigilant to ensure the integrity of the public’s investment even as seeking further funding to complete the project appropriately. To them we say: take heed with our dollars and go make history.

It is our position that announcement of the permanent locating of the Feinstein Collection for the American Song in the Performing Arts Center in Carmel is a good thing for our entire region. The announcement brings a soul to the complex and not just a name etched into its shiny limestone facade. And we all scored a major coup in defeating higher-profile cities like Las Vegas and Palm Beach to secure the first and future home for what is undoubtedly the most recognizable form of uniquely American music.

Much discussion has centered upon the buildings’ timetable, use of materials, funding sources and ultimate cost. It is delightful to now consider the heart of

the matter and the soul of the enterprise.

Many of these musical masterpieces have their roots in the Midwest; it is only fitting that in our heartland they will be studied and enjoyed for generations to come.

Now the Carmel Performing Arts Center Foundation, Mayor Jim Brainard, Governor Mitch Daniels and other corporate and philanthropic leaders must set out in earnest to complete the task of fully realizing the vision. Even as Central Indiana is gripped with football fever, we cannot rest in our economic development and quality-of-life pursuit. Other cities around the nation are most assuredly not.

FROM THE BACKSHOP film fest coming to our city’s pac?

While debating whether to accept the 1.5 million British Sterling payout or the 3.5 million Great Britain Pounds we were awarded (the verification e-mails arrived right on deadline, thank goodness, so we’re happy to share that news with you), consider what we’ve recently heard : ••• “Guess what!” Mayor Jim Brainard is attempting to secure an arrangement with the Heartland Film Festival to use Carmel as an eventual satellite location for screenings. The Performing Arts Center would make a dandy venue for such an event, don’t you think? We also hear that it would include a black-tie reception.

••• “It’s Michael Buble, not Boublet, you idiots!”

••• “What a mess THIS is going to be.”

The work to relocate utility lines on Ind. 32 in Westfield, west of U.S. 31, is under way in preparation for widening the road and making accommodations for retail space in the area. To the caller, we politely offer this: SHADDUP! Don’t you realize that improved infrastructure paves the

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly way (Clever, aren’t we?) for businesses to locate on the thoroughfare? And that not only brings conveniences to residents but tax dollars from businesses to help lower your annual residential tax insult. Trust us, Mayor Andy Cook and his administration – and the state -- absolutely are doing the right thing in that regard.

••• “People we represent are hurting; the companies you represent are profiting.”

That was Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) of the Senate Judiciary Committee at a hearing on the oil spiral. He’s correct about people hurting, but it has nothing to do with oil.

This ding-a-ling never has met a tax hike or spending bill he didn’t like. President Bush must be praying for a GOP washout, since Democrat control would actually make him look good.

Road Construction Update

By Brandon Bowman Current in Carmel

Rangeline Road and 136th Street Roundabout

This intersection will be converted to a round-

Towne Road from 116th Street to 126th Street

Towne Road will be reconstructed from 116th Street to 126th Street as a boulevard-style roadway with a median, concrete curbs, underground storm sewer and asphalt, multi-use paths on both sides of the road. Towne Road at 126th Street will be closed in early June.

131st Street (Ditch Road to Shelborne Road)

131st Street will be widened to accommodate one additional lane in each direction with a median, storm sewer installation, path installation and landscaping.

This segment of 131st Street will be closed to through traffic, and only local access will be allowed as necessary. A roundabout at Towne Road is included as part of this project.

Construction begins in June.

Tuesday, June 3, 2008 www.currentincarmel.com

The Keystone reconstruction has begun at the 106th Street and 126th Street intersections. The East-West traffic on those two roads will be closed through Keystone avenue. The closures will be in place until December 1. The city of Carmel moved to put this in place to keep from delaying the completion date of the project.

Motorists on 106th Street are advised to cross Keystone at 116th or 96th. Motorists on 126th Street are advised to cross Keystone at 131st or 116th. Temporary lanes will be used on Keystone until midAugust to keep North-South traffic flowing. After mid-August, the four lanes of traffic on Keystone will be moved to the new North bound side of the road. Motorists are asked to be mindful of construction workers near the road during this project.

For more information on the Keystone reconstruction go to Carmellink.org.

about. There will also be a new bridge over Cool Creek just north 136th Street, which will overlap the construction of the roundabout. Construction is scheduled to start in June of 2008 and is expected to take 60 days to complete.

FIRE CLAIMS DAIRY QUEEN

The Dairy Queen restaurant at 951 S. Range Line Rd. was horribly damaged in a fire Thursday evening. No one was injured in the incident, which rendered the wooden eatery closed. The facility, which had been a community staple since 1960, caught fire at approximately 6:35 p.m. Eight employees and an unknown number of patrons were on hand when the blaze started in the rear of the building. Carmel Fire Dept. crews eventually doused the fire, keeping it from spreading to an adjacent business. Range Line was closed while firefighters worked. For hours after, the stench of wet, burned wood wafted across Carmel, a haunting message that contrasted with the good times shared at DQ by the community down through the years. CFD said the cause of the fire is undetermined, but an employee told Current in Carmel that perhaps a worker or a drive-through customer inadvertently tossed a smoldering cigarette butt at or near the storage area that contained paper and plastic goods. * Do you have a favorite DQ memory?

Farmers paid more: A farm worker advocacy group and Burger King agreed on a deal to help improve wages and conditions for Florida tomato pickers. An aide to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who held a hearing on the case, announced the deal last week. Briggs says the Miamibased fast-food chain will pay 1.5 cents more per pound of tomatoes it buys from Florida growers, with the money passed to the workers. He says the farm workers’ group, known as the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, says the deal will nearly double workers’ wages.

Making and keeping promises builds your brand and customer service is your new marketing department.

People talk. Why not David Cain join the conversation?

Marketing The discussions occur whether you like it, know it or want it to happen.

2

It’s not about you; it’s about your customer. Marketing isn’t about what you want people to know. It is about the customers and what they want. People sit in meetings all day and talk about what they want – what about what your customer wants? How’d you get so self-centered anyway?

People connect with people.

Being transparent appeals to customers. It makes you genuine, real and trustworthy.

4

Anticipated communication is always more significant than unsolicited clutter. Stop interrupting people, and provide timely, relevant information.

5

Develop an audience mentality, and think like a producer or publisher. They know you have to entertain and engage. Whether you meet someone in person, learn about them online or in a newspaper or a magazine, you have to make a connection.

6

People buy what they want. And they don’t always need or understand what they want. Think iPhone. Think most technology gadgets. People want it, but they don’t always need it, and, in some cases, they don’t even understand it.

7

Original trumps imitation. You can be original with a good story.

Every company has a story to tell – a story that is true and resonates or connects with their market.

8

Build your brand online so it can be open 24/7, and people can visit your brand in their pajamas. All communication and effort should send people to your online brand. The internet

is not just another platform, it is the platform.

People don’t turn on the television to learn about a company, product or service. They get online: where you should be.

9

Measure and change. You have to measure results first, and then you have to be willing to make changes.

Military strategy calls it “shoot and move.”

You take a shot and then move forward.

WHAT’S IT WORTH? MY OPINION:

$270K Type: Ranch Age: 1995 Location: North from 146th Street on the east side of Springmill Road Neighborhood: Village Farms is a large neighborhood with a community pool, playground, clubhouse, mature trees and winding roads Square footage: 3404 square feet including 1268 in the finished basement Rooms: This three-bedroom, two-anda-half-bath home has a great room with vaulted ceilings, finished basement, two-car garage and fireplace. The split floor plan provides privacy with the master suite separate from the other two bedrooms.

Strengths: This is a one-owner home with a sizable and private backyard. It is surrounded by either comparable or more expensive homes which will enhance future value.

It is hard to shed that produce-stand label. Broccoli Bill’s owner Bill Weghorst knows that first hand.

“A lot of people, when they picture a produce stand, think of a guy in a tent hawking peaches and tomatoes,” he said.

“But we are so much more than that.”

The store offers Boar’s Head meats,

Challenges: According to the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors, there is currently 7.5 months of inventory between $250,000 and $300,000. It would be advantageous for the seller to paint the front door a deeper color, possibly black, to improve the curb appeal.

snacks, frozen pizzas, ice cream and a lot more in addition to home-grown fruits and vegetables. “You could all of your food shopping here,” Weghorst said.

When Broccoli Bill’s opened in 1995, Weghorst envisioned it as a produce market. Its location – on Gray Road north of 146th Street – was away from the beaten path, so he decided it wasn’t financially feasible to stay open during the winter. But as the area has grown and the store has expanded, he has grown increasingly confident in its year-round potential.

This year, for the first time, Weghorst hopes to remain open throughout the winter – a significant departure from his normal mid-April to mid-October schedule.

MONEY MATTERS With all the summer sales at retail places, are you doing your Christmas shopping early?

“No. Typically if I find something I think is good for Christmas I will buy it. But I don’t shop because of any sales.”

Thetchen Price, Carmel

“It is not July yet, so no. They say you should start Christmas shopping in July. Right now, I have to worry about planting my garden.”

Robin Laskin, Carmel

“I won’t start any earlier than usual. I usually start thinking about it in October and end up finishing a couple days before Christmas.

DISPATCHES CHS Physics Students Recognized: Based on scores from a test they took earlier this school year, CHS students finished in first place in the annual Physics Bowl, earning the top score in both Indiana and Michigan for first-year physics. Junior Dan Piedmonte earned the second-highest score of all students in the two states. More than 4,000 students from 175 high schools across the nation participated this year, according to Carmel High School physics teacher David James.

Sarah Tilburt Receives Edyth May Sliffe Award: Clay Middle School math teacher Sarah Tilbury is one of 53 educators from the United States and Canada to earn recognition for her students’ achievements. Tilbury has been recognized as a recipient of the Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished Junior High Mathematics Teaching. The Mathematical Association of America grants the awards each year based on how teachers’ students perform on the American Mathematics Competition. [photo]

Clay Middle School Musicians Recognized: All three Clay Middle School groups that participated in the recent Music in the Parks Festival in Cincinnati earned first-place ratings in their division. The orchestra, under the direction of Jeff Frizzi, was also named grand champion among all string orchestras that participated. Thirty-six schools took part in the annual festival, with 130 students from Clay making the trip.

Chemistry Students Nearly Sweep Competition: CHS finished first and its students swept four of the top five individual places in the annual American Chemical Scholarship Exam, sponsored by the IUPUI Department of Chemistry and Biology. Sophomore Ansel Nalin finished first, winning a $1,000 scholarship; Zoe Yan won third ($600); and Angela Ma and Jimmy Sun tied for fourth, winning $400 each.

David Yang earned a third-place finish in the advanced exam event and received a $600 scholarship.

Report Cards: Carmel, Clay and Creekside middle schools will mail report cards no later than June 6. Carmel High School will put report cards in the mail June 13. Students in the district’s eleven elementary schools should have received their report cards on May 30.

This leaves us with 60 percent who does nothing, and I hope that group doesn’t include you.

Upper body push-ups are wonderful.

You can also do “rows” using weights you have in the house or actual dumbbells if you have them.

3

Plastic tubing is cheap and can be used for many different exercises.

If you don’t understand how to use this equipment hire a trainer or buy a book that explains it.

4

Swiss balls are not very expensive, either. The ball can serve as a bench

to lift dumbbells, you can do assisted push-ups with them, you can use it as a guide on wall for wall squats, low back extensions, among other exercises.

5

You can do leg raises for the lowerabdominal muscles, side planks for your obliques and floor crunches for upper-abdominals.

HOW TO IMPROVE SLEEP – No kidding! Sprinkle just-washed sheets and pillowcases with lavender water. The scent has been shown in studies to promote relaxation, which can lead to better sleep. ... Buy a new pillow.

Studies show that pillows with an indent in the center can enhance sleep quality and reduce neck pain. Also, try a “cool� pillow, one containing either all-natural fibers or a combination of sodium sulfate and ceramic fibers that help keep your head cool. ... Eat a handful of walnuts before bed. You’ll be giving yourself a boost of fiber and essential fatty acids along with the amino acid tryptophan -- a natural sleep-inducer.

Reject foods and drinks made with corn syrup, a calorie-dense, nutritionally bankrupt sweetener that many believe is worse for the body than sugar.

Without fail, start each dinner with a mixed green salad.

Not only will it help reduce your appetite for more caloric foods, but it also will automatically add veggies to your meal.

Around the Table The hisTory of pinoT noir

By Louis Calli, Wine Director of Vine & Table gourmet market

www.currentincarmel.com www.currentincarmel.com

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 Tuesday, June 3, 2008

With the Pinot Noir craze still in full swing, I feel it’s only fitting that the winedrinking public get to know their new favorite grape a bit more intimately. I will only be able to scratch the surface here unfortunately, as its tale spans thousands of years across almost every continent.

Recently, UC Davis was able to map the genome of the Pinot Noir grape, and made a shocking discovery: It’s actually more complex than a human being’s (2 more chromosomes). It’s for this reason that you see pinot noir glasses having such a wide

bowl, as the abundance of flavors and textures need so much more room to be properly displayed. Pinot Noir is one of the oldest varietals known, dating all the way back to the Roman Empire in 100 AD. Since then (due to its genetic volatility) it has produced almost 1000 identifiable clones worldwide.

By comparison, Cabernet Sauvignon has only twelve.

Pinot Noir is notoriously delicate and difficult to cultivate properly. Its skin is thin, and the grapes are prone to bacteria and parasites. Although creative winemakers have found ways to grow it almost everywhere on earth, the best and truest expression of the varietal must come from highly select micro- climates of warm days and cool evenings. It is no secret that the best Pinot Noir on earth (inarguably) comes from the Burgundy region in France, with the most expensive bottles being well into the thousands of dollars for even the newest releases. The quality of Burgundy is due to a number of factors.

Its vineyards slope gently down toward the East, providing the vines with long sun exposure yet avoiding afternoon heat.

The soil there is very calcareous (meaning “chalky; containing calcium carbonate”), offering good drainage. Well-drained soils

have a higher average temperature, which assists ripening. Pinot noir seems to reflect more pronounced Gout de Terroir, or flavor of the soil, than other black grape types, making vineyard site selection a critical factor.

Great Pinot Noir creates a lasting impression on the palate and in the memory.

Its aroma is often one of the most complex of all varietals and can be intense with a ripe-grape or black cherry aroma, frequently accented by a pronounced spiciness that suggests cinnamon, sassafras, or mint.

Ripe tomato, mushroom, and barnyard are also common descriptors for identifying Pinot Noir. It is full-bodied and rich but not heavy, high in alcohol, yet neither acidic nor tannic, with substantial flavor despite its delicacy. The most appealing quality of Pinot Noir may be its soft, velvety texture.

When right, it is

like liquid silk, gently caressing the palate.

Pinot does not have the longevity in the bottle of the darker red wines and tends to reach its peak at five to eight years past the vintage, with some rare exceptions in great vintages from the best producers.

I invite you to join us at Vine & Table every Saturday, from 11am-4pm where we will be sampling not only Pinot Noirs, but many other savory wines as well!

ed to nd superior service.

Being an Event Planner, I’m involved with wedding planning every day; one of the first questions is, “How can I make my wedding unique/individualized/customized?” I approach each wedding with a fresh look and make versatile recommendations that can work at any venue. Here’s what I most often suggest:

Tabletops

• Upgrade the linens: Color, pattern, or texture • Change the chairs: Chivari, color, style • Add chair covers: Linen, color, pattern, or texture

Floral

Great floral always wins; this is always a nice upgrade if your budget allows.

I prefer three different florals for each wedding: 1. Tall 2. Short 3. Unique container or shape *Note- Floral pieces are based on number of tables. You can reduce the number of tables by increasing number of guests at each table. Example: 40 guests=five tables of 8 or four tables of 10.

A party of 200 could potentially save five table centerpieces with tables of 10, plus five specialty linens.

Beverage/Bar

I usually recommend beverage/bar packages for weddings; unlike corporate events, weddings are more festive.

• Serving wine with the meal is a great opportunity to upgrade your event

From the Kitchen oF

without a huge cost. This is the formula that I use: five glasses per bottle or 60 glasses per case (usually 15 percent will not drink wine during the meal and most guests will not drink more than 1 ½ glasses.) Example: Party of 200’s approximate usage is four cases of wine at $25 per bottle=$1200.

• Specialty drinks – many of our events are serving a signature drink based on new last name. Example: Rubenstein Wedding Reception would be a Rubentini, usually a drink that matches a wedding color or a theme.

• Martini or vodka bar

Champagne/Champagne Toast

This is a great place to upgrade to a higher brand since you will be able to pour seven toasts per bottle.

Ice

• An ice monogram positioned within the cocktail hors d’oeuvre space • A martini luge is great for party splash; monogrammed martini luges are approximately $300.

• An ice bar, which will add a wonderful and unique effect to your event is approximately $1500+.

• A seafood display: Sushi table or shrimp display.

Amuse Bouche (Starter)

I like to include a wonderful start to a great meal with a pre-set bite of something elegant, such as tuna tartare with avocado crema and lush wine reduction or lechlychee with pineapple brunoise. This is a great opportunity to start the dining experience.

Intermezzo (Palate Cleanser)

Mignardise (Wonderful Finish)

This can be an after-dinner petite four or a miniature pastry and is served after cake or dessert service. Other examples are: a chocolate caramel macadamia nut barquette or a cheesecakestuffed chocolatedipped strawberry.

Late-Night Hors d’oeuvres

These can include New York hot dogs, bread sticks, pub food, quesadillas, or pizza.

With this course, the sky’s the limit—usually something very casual and friendly after a night of drinking and dancing.

Candy Bar

A fun option is to choose unique candies color coded with wedding colors or packaged in Asian food containers with matching wedding colors or a monogram.

Lighting and Décor

It is amazing to see what lighting can do for any event; it adds color, richness, and overall character. Fresh plants are always a great option to develop warmth with any event.

Furniture

More events then ever are setting small seating areas with unique furnishings. This provides a wonderful club and comfort setting.

This is a short list of easy upgrades for any wedding. Your event caterer or wedding planner can help you develop these ideas and make your dreams come true.

Some examples of this course are: sorbet, frozen grapes, or granite.

Grill the salmon flesh side first.

The trick to grilling fish is to let the grill do the work, only handling the fish 3 times: once to put it on the grill, twice to flip it, and the third time to take it off. The hardest part of grilling fish is knowing when it’s done; this is generally the hardest part of grilling, but don’t worry. When fish is cooked, the meat will flake easily with a fork and will appear opaque all the way through.

After the salmon comes off the grill, smother it with the salsa. Serve with a summery, light, and slightly chilled glass of Pinot Noir.

DISPATCHES WHEN TO REPLACE THE AC: A cooling system is one of the biggest energy guzzlers in your home, second only to your heating system, depending on where you live. If you have an old air conditioning system with a SEER rating of less than 8, it may be worthwhile to consider replacing it with a more energy efficient system. You should be able to recoup the cost in just a few years.

NATURAL WAY TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL: There is some research suggesting that artichoke leaf extract (Cynara scolymnus) may help to lower cholesterol.

Artichoke leaf extract may work by limiting the synthesis of cholesterol in the body. Artichokes also contain a compound called cynarin, believed to increase bile production in the liver and speed the flow of bile from the gallbladder, both of which may increase cholesterol excretion.

the true neutrals: not really colors

t is probably the design statement uttered more than any other: “I just want it to be neutral.”

Typically the client is saying that beige is the color of choice because it has long held the position of every color’s friend. In reality, beige can be anything but neutral.

To explain, true neutrals in the world of color are the colors black, white, and all the tones in between, which would be shades of gray. These Vicky Earley are “non-colors,” Design and they don’t appear anywhere on the color wheel.

These neutrals are the foundation for the colors deemed neutral in the interior design sense. Hints of color are added to create our interior design neutrals.

Beige steps to the front when the idea of neutral is considered. Beige is a combination of the foundation colors with umbers, yellows or reds judiciously added. This is where neutral turns the corner and is no longer a true neutral.

The underlying tones of beige are typi-

cally pinks, browns or golds. Whites other than true whites might be slightly ivory, yellow, bluish or peachy. On a computerized color chip, the undertones can be difficult to discern.

I have heard of neutrals described as “the diplomats of decorating.” In theory, they should go with everything and clash with nothing. This is true of the actual neutrals but beige comes with a caveat.

The computer generated color chips at the paint store or a fabric swatch may or may not show the undertone. It is when the color covers a large area such as walls or a large piece of fabric that the undertones become quite obvious. Undertones need to be identified in a room setting and the same undertones should be continued for overall harmony.

Keep the subtleties of beige in mind

“ GREAT WAY TO BEAT JET LAG: Adjusting to meals, for instance, is a key way to set your body clock straight. Eat your dinners, lunches and breakfasts according to the times of your destination. Though this may seem inconvenient those last few days prior to leaving, it will really pay off when you find yourself already habituated to the times away from home.

SAVE A SCRATCHED CD: Squirt some toothpaste on the data side of your disc, gently smear the toothpaste over the entire disc using your fingers to make small circular motions, let the toothpaste sit on the disc for a few minutes, then carefully rinse the paste off with lukewarm water and gently dry the disc with a soft rag or t-shirt.

when selecting colors for ceilings and wood work. A tip for selecting paint colors if the undertones are not obvious would be to look at the end of the strip with the most saturated version of the color. The undertone color should be quite obvious.

Design neutrals are essential to home decor as they can be used to create a sense of visual relief in a strong color scheme or used alone to create a subtle, monochromatic palette. If the undertones of your neutral choices are kept in the same color family, you won’t experience the disappointment of pink woodwork paired with gold walls – both selected from colors that carry the name beige.

a passion for pastel with an investment twist

By Barbara E. Cohen Current In Carmel

19 DIVERSIONS

Pastel artists ardently defend their chosen medium, which sometimes gets less respect than oil painting or watercolor art.

Perhaps the problem stems from the word itself, because pastel conjures up washedout or pale colors. Pastel shades are to saturated hues what featherweights are to heavyweight boxing contenders, but they are still capable of knockouts.

“Poetry and Passion: The Art of Pastel,” opening Sunday at the Richmond Art Museum, is determined to put to rest any notion that works of art in pastels, which consist of pure pigments and a non-greasy binder rolled into a crayon-like stick, are the 90-pound weaklings of the art world.

“Though I occasionally work in other media, I prefer pastels,” said painter Pamela C. Newell, Fishers, one of thirteen award-winning artists selected for the exhibit. “It has many advantages for the artist as well as the collector. But people think of pastels as less desirable because they don’t understand the medium.”

For the artist, pastels’ advantages over oils or acrylics include a wide range of colors in a premixed format and the fact that paintings don’t need to dry, as watercolors and oils do. Newell calls them “instant gratification.” Although she trained in oil paints, she found herself drawn to

pastels when her children were small.

“Living with the chaos of kids means you paint when you have time, and you get interrupted,” she said. “With pastels, you don’t have to block out a 3- or 4-hour stretch of time to mix paints and work on a canvas while it’s wet.”

For the artist, pastels are always available and easy to use, with a wide range of colors and little prep time or cleanup.

They lend themselves to sketching or full imagery, they can be used outdoors or in the studio, and they clean up quickly and easily.

Newell also believes pastels are a better investment than oils for the art collector. Her images – mostly garden scenes, landscapes and still lifes – are created on archival paper rated to last 500 years, with no varnish to crack or dull the surface.

The pigments are bright and will remain so, and the paintings no longer need to be matted. Works available for purchase in pastel, as the Richmond show makes clear, are of a quality to rival, if not beat, oil painting.

“We pulled this show together to highlight the medium of pastels, which is sometimes overlooked or misunderstood,” said Shaun Dingwerth, executive director of the Richmond Art Museum. “If you really want to upset pastel artists, call their work ‘chalk.’”

Pamela C. Newell: ‘Advantages for the artist as well as the collector.’

The exhibition includes work by thirteen of the best pastel artists from Indiana and Ohio. In addition to Newell, participating local artists include Mary Ann Davis, Indianapolis; Randall Scott Harden, Noblesville; and Donna Shortt, Indianapolis.

The opening reception is 2 – 4 p.m.

Sunday at the Richmond Museum of Art (350 Hub Etchison Parkway, Richmond,

DISPATCHES Deep-diving watch Lose track of time underwater, and you could lose your life when your oxygen runs out. Luckily, the Eterna KonTiki Diver watch saves you from your own absentmindedness. It uses technology from the automotive industry to stay waterproof at 3,280 feet without tightly screwing down its winding stem -- a step that users often forget with other mechanical diving watches. Eterna created a miniature version of a shaft seal: the hollow, doughnut-shaped collar around each shaft in a car’s transmission.

In a car, the seal prevents high-pressure oil from leaking out. In the KonTiki, it keeps high-pressure water from seeping in. As water pushes on it, the hollow tube flattens out to hug the stem more closely, forming a tighter seal as pressure builds. That makes it more effective at great depths than the o-ring seals in other watches - Popular Science Tired of carrying 2 cell phones?

elecommuting or “teleworking,” for those of you who need to convince your boss to consider it, can save your employees money on gas -- and at $4 per gallon that can be a large savings -- and in many cases improve productivity and employee job satisfaction.

The most common practice for a single telecommuter is to remotely control their computer at the office from home. This Gary Hubbard is most commonly Technology done with a program that installs a host on the computer at the office and a remote on the computer at home.

There are a plethora of companies offering this type of software that ranges from a monthly fee to totally free. My favorite free program is LogMeIn (www.logmein. com) because it’s simple to install and use with any web browser from any internetconnected computer in the world.

In other words, you don’t have to install special software on your remote computer in order to access the office computer. You

simply login to your account from any web browser and gain access to your computer through the browser itself.

There are two things to be aware of with this approach: printing and security.

The free version does not allow you to print remotely (print from the office computer to the printer at your home), but the Pro version does ($12.95 per month or $69.95 per year).

Anything that allows easy access to a computer through any browser is also less secure. For instance, if your employees are not careful about when and where they access the office computer, the usernames/ passwords could easily be acquired by an outsider.

If intruders learn the usernames/passwords, they can just as easily access the computer from anywhere, which is the same as allowing them to sit down at employees’ desks unsupervised.

If you have more than one user and want a more controlled approach, you can activate Terminal Services with a Windows-based server. This method requires someone who understands (and is certified, preferably) all of the variables of setting up this technology.

Essentially, Terminal Server allows you to set up controlled remote sessions that appear as a window on the remote workstation. What the user is allowed to do is completely determined by how the ses-

sions are setup.

Each user can have different access levels, and you can better manage all of the remote users from a single point of entry.

For most small businesses, this approach is one of the most cost effective and least technical to maintain if you have multiple telecommuters.

If you want the ultimate in flexibility, security and control, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is what the big companies use. But before you commit to this level of technology, be sure you understand all of the ongoing issues.

VPNs are more complicated and thus, have more points of failure that require a technically savvy person to troubleshoot.

Large companies already have this expertise on staff, but most small businesses don’t.

If you are not careful, you can become beholden to whomever sets up your VPN and have to rely on that person (and pay him or her) every time there is an issue.

The balancing act for this form of technology is ease of use and maintenance versus security. The easier it is to use and maintain, the less secure it is. The more secure it is, the more complicated it becomes to use and maintain.

American Idols at Conseco Fieldhouse

Tickets for the Pop Tarts American Idols Live Tour, which makes a stop in Indianapolis on July 22, will go on sale this Saturday, May 17, at 11 a.m.

They will be available at the Conseco Fieldhouse box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone and at ticket-

They say necessity is the mother of invention, but in Vicki Wagoner’s case, it was the mother of distribution. By no means did she invent the old-school bobber motorcycles she now sells out of a storefront on Bethel, but she did bring them to the Indianapolis area. As for necessity, it’s arguable as to whether a second vehicle used more for recreation than for getting from Point A to Point B is a necessity, but she definitely wanted a bike.

Beech Grove Bobber Co. was born when Wagoner’s boyfriend, Matt Hensley (now the shop’s tech), showed her a magazine ad for Hardknock Bobbers, motorcycles manufactured in California with an oldschool, bobber look that come with either a 49 cc or 110 cc engine. When she contacted the company, they gave her some (initially) bad news: they didn’t have a dealer in her area. So she decided to open her own shop, keeping her day job — she’s a dental hygienist Monday through Thursday — and working with the bobbers on the weekends.

“Being single, I wanted to be able to ride a bike myself,” she said. “I wanted something that was affordable. I didn’t want to spend

$20,000 on a big couch on wheels or something like that.”

Measuring 80 inches long with a 25-inch seat height, 15-inch back wheel and 18-inch front, the bobbers have a slightly smaller frame than most motorcycles. The availability of a 49 cc engine may be attractive to buyers because any bike under 50 cc can be ridden without a motorcycle license or plates. The gas mileage is another perk; the 1.2-gallon tank can travel as far as 100 miles before needing more fuel.

Beech Grove Bobber offers custom painting, pin striping and assembly, and kits start at $1,499. They also carry pocket bikes — pint-sized motorcycles of different styles that all have engines under 50 cc — obviously marketed toward youth, but also, Wagoner said, popular with adults, who race them. Plus helmets, T-shirts, accessories — they have all that, too.

This Saturday, May 17, Beech Grove Bobber will host their official grand-opening celebration from noon until 6 p.m. The party will feature a beer tent, free hot dogs (while they last) and live music from the band Half Brother. WARM 93.9 FM will broadcast from the shop from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and give away $25 gas cards to lucky winners.

The Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist who gave us Peekaboom and worked on the “distorted letter” tests called CAPTCHAs, is back with several new games.

According to the Pittsburgh PostGazette, he just launched a new site where you can play to so-called GWAPS — short for “games with a purpose.” These multiplayer free online games are intended to “help improve Internet image and audio searches, enhance artificial intelligence and teach computers to see,” said the researcher.

A CMU news release about these “Games With a Purpose” says the new “site initially will feature four new games and a classic called the ESP Game. The first GWAP, the ESP Game, displays images to two players who each try to guess words that the other player would use to describe the image. The game improves Web image searches by generating descriptions of uncaptioned images. Google Inc. has licensed the game, which the company calls Google Image Labeler.

DIFFERENT HAMSTERS, DIFFERENT HABITS: Syrian hamsters are the most common type kept as pets.

These should be kept one to a cage as they will fight if kept together.

They can be quite tame and easy to handle. Dwarf hamsters (Campbell’s and winter white Russian hamsters, Roborovski hamsters) are more social and are probably better kept with others of the same species, but they should be introduced at a young age. The Dwarf variety are fast and agile and a bit harder to handle. Chinese hamsters are similar in size to the dwarf hamsters bu true dwarfs. Sometimes they get along with other Chinese hamsters, but often they do not. They tend to be quite friendly, but are also very quick and agile. Different species of hamsters should never be kept together.

MONKEYS AS PETS: Some of the most popular breeds of monkeys to have as pets are the Capuchins, Marmosets and Tamarins. Bush Baby is also another littleknown popular breed. Bush Babies don’t grown very big at all, and they also only tend to live around fifteen years, unlike the others. All of these breeds are smaller to medium-sized breeds and tend to be the healthiest of all pet monkeys; these creatures most likely will provide you with many years of monkey love.

KEEP COOL; AVOID DEHYDRATION

By Lisa Beals Current in Westfield

With summer around the corner, you and your dog will be taking advantage of the great weather to walk the Monon, play frisbee in the back yard, or romp with canine friends. However, hot temperatures and exercise can lead to dehydration in your pet with fluid losses of as little as four to five percent. Dehydration also leads to the loss of important electrolytes including potassium, chloride and sodium, which are important for muscle contractions and nerve impulse transmission.

Humans have 2.6 million sweat glands to cool our bodies as sweat evaporates off the skin. In contrast, our canine friends only have sweat glands on their noses and foot pads. Therefore, a dog’s primary means of heat dissipation is from panting, which allows for evaporative cooling through increased air flow over moist surfaces in the upper respiratory tract. If excessive fluids are lost from panting and other fluid loss, dehydration may result.

Signs of dehydration include: · Lethargy · Tremors · Increased body temperature · Sunken, dry eyes · Loss of appetite · Elevated heart rate · Dry mouth tissues · Prolonged capillary refill Tests you can perform on your dog to check for dehydration include: · Skin elasticity: Pinch the skin on your dog’s back between your thumb and index finger. Once released, the skin should quickly pop back into place. Under conditions of dehydration, the skin will lose its

elasticity. Thinner and older dogs’ skin will be less elastic than younger and fatter dogs. Therefore, it is important for you to know what is normal for your dog. · Prolonged Capillary Refill: Push your finger firmly on your dog’s gums until the gums turn white. Remove your finger and count how long it takes the gums to return to their normal pink color. In a normal dog, the capillaries should immediately refill. Under conditions of dehydration, the time to refill with blood will be prolonged to two to three seconds. Again, you should test your dog under normal conditions in order to establish a baseline to compare to.

As a general rule of thumb, dogs need approximately one ounce of water per pound of body weight per day, but this amount can be significantly increased with environmental factors, stress or certain health conditions. Working dogs and performance dogs should be hydrated prior to competition as exercise can increase water

loss ten to twenty times over the resting rate. Elderly dogs with compromised kidneys or dogs on medications that are metabolized by the kidneys especially need to maintain adequate hydration. Always keep fresh water available for your dog at home and carry a portable source of water for him when traveling.

If your dog is dehydrated, introduce water to him slowly. Gulping water can lead to vomiting and further dehydration.

Don’t give your dog dry food. Keep him in a cool place while you slowly re-hydrate him with water. Don’t use cold packs to cool him down, as this can constrict blood flow. Contact your veterinarian in cases of severe dehydration to prevent heat stroke, as medical care may be needed to introduce IV fluids.

L

et’s face it; we live in a hurried society. Convenience is king.

Sometimes, though, expediency needs to take a backseat, and oftentimes, it will save you money.

I’m talking about the oil change, which is the mostimportant and most-frequent service your car ever will receive.

You decide: have a professional do it, or some high school kid working a part-time job? It’s your car ... and your money. As the gruff, Joe Peil old guy used to say Automotive in the Fram oil filter commercial, “You can pay me now, or pay me later.”

Oil changes. I implore you to make time to schedule them – and it won’t require that much more time than you spend at Sparky’s Speedy Oil, Air Freshener and Vacuuming Service. Look, in most cases, your car is the second-largest (or most valuable) asset you will ever own. There is a difference in the type of inspection you will receive when you choose an independent repair shop versus a Sparky’s.

The inspection that should come along

with changing the oil is only available from independent repair shops and is equally important, because it is the time when most safety and service issues are discovered.

Independent repair shops employ highly trained and certified technicians; “drivethru” chains do not.

The exception to this is that there are some quality chains that allow independent repair shops to sell their product under the brand name. I have one in my business, and there are plenty of others around.

Vehicles are terribly expensive to buy, fuel and maintain these days. Why trust yours to anyone but a professional?
