After absinthe, sake-tinis and soy-based vodkas, what's the next big thing in spirits going to be? Quite possibly tequila - but not the paint-stripping firewater that gave you no end of college hangovers. Instead, look for upmarket tequilas better suited to sophisticated, postprandial sipping rather [an error occurred while processing this directive] than dilution with margarita mix. There's certainly a renewed consumer interest in premium brands of the spirit. According to the Distilled Spirits Council in the U.S., sales by volume of premium tequila jumped by a total of over...
...Frenchman Thierry Henry and Dutch genius Dennis Bergkamp with an English-dominated back line - once, Tony Adams and Martin Keown, now Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole. Barcelona fields true Catalan heroes such as Carles Puyol. I adore Arsenal too much to concoct reasons to turn against them for the sake of a match. But Barça is nearer and dearer to my heart, ever so slightly. My love for the team sprang from my love of the city. A cousin of mine had fought for the republic in the Spanish Civil War.

...temperature in the cave. At the same time, the meaning of the prehistoric cave paintings, like those discovered earlier in southern France and northern Spain, became a topic of fertile interdisciplinary discussion. Some saw in these beasts primary evidence that from the beginning art was wrought for the sake of art. Others contended that the images were purely utilitarian, drawn solely to marshal magic that would help hunters succeed. Yet archaeological evidence is strong that while humans were painting in Lascaux, they could count for sustenance on massive herds of reindeer, an animal that is only rarely depicted...
While we should refrain from judging for the sake of ridiculing others, we should not be afraid to tell our peers when we think that what they did is wrong, if our intention is to convince them to change their ways. There is a difference between judging someone in order to ostracize them, and telling them that what they did was wrong and that you hope that they will not do it again. These are simple lessons that we learned (or should have learned) in kindergarten, but in light of Kaavya’s plagiarism controversy, it is obvious that...
