Whether it's a phone call for advice on the wine to go with your seafood brunch, on how to source that hard-to-find JJ Prüm 2005 Gold Kap, or how to transport wine safely (microchips embedded in the crates to regulate and monitor temperature, and track location, will help), Sarment's sommeliers provide round-the-clock service. They also spend eight weeks a year on the road to find new wines and forge relationships with reclusive Bordeaux winemakers...
...project is a push back against radical elements within Britain's 2 million or so Muslims. This is a matter of some urgency. Everyone remembers when 52 people were killed by homegrown suicide bombers who attacked London's transport system on July 7, 2005, and security officials say there are at least 2,000 known Islamic extremists living in the U.K. Hazel Blears, Communities Secretary until she resigned on June 3, says the project aims "to ensure young people are equipped with the skills they need to stand up to violent extremists...

Finally the spot urges viewers to just get past it - essentially calling a massive corporate mulligan - and exits with ousted-reality-TV-contestant-style defiance: "The only chapter we're focused on is Chapter...
...Transport options from Bangkok include a 47-mile (76 km) ride on monotonous highways; a float by on a tourist boat with buffets and chatter out of Stuttgart or Indiana; or a two-hour train chug that quickly stops being quaint. Commuters toting guitars and mangoes are charming, but the carriage is grimy and the trackside views uninspiring. Yet Ayutthaya provides an eye-cleansing surplus of green after days in Bangkok's concrete maze (at admission prices that, while annoyingly higher for foreigners, are still minimal by world standards).
