Bond's Martinis Shaken by Alcohol Tremor?: - Medpage Today:

"The investigators concluded that Bond consumed more than four times the weekly recommended intake of alcohol, which regularly should have left the spy in such a besotted state that he could not possibly have accomplished all the feats attributed to him."

2013: The Year of the Fearless International Traveler | Peggy Goldman

2013: The Year of the Fearless International Traveler | Peggy Goldman:

"Our most impressive finding was this: Most travelers aren't letting anything get in the way of their international travel plans. Sixty percent of travelers that we surveyed reported that despite recent events such as cruise disasters or acts of terror, they feel as safe traveling now as they did five years ago. Moreover, 55 percent reported that these events haven't impacted their travel abroad."

Tiger Woods delights Brandel Chamblee with course-record-tying 62 at Sherwood CC - SBNation.com

Tiger Woods delights Brandel Chamblee with course-record-tying 62 at Sherwood CC - SBNation.com:

"Woods was not a particularly generous host, as he fired a second-round 10-under 62 to take charge of his Northwestern Mutual World Challenge and leave his 17 star-studded guests looking up in admiration of the 36-hole leader’s 10-birdie, 0-bogey play.
"It was a clinic," Graeme McDowell told Reuters about his playing partner, who left the defending champion, who carded a respectable 67, in his dust as he tied the course record he set in 2007. "It was cool to see that kind of golf. He was under control. He hit it down the middle of every fairway.""

Experts dismiss prediction of global wine shortage - SFGate

Experts dismiss prediction of global wine shortage - SFGate:

"Confusion abounds over a prediction that a wine shortage could be looming.

A Morgan Stanley report released this week said worldwide wine demand exceeded supply by nearly 300 million cases in 2012. The study blamed the shortfall, the greatest in 40 years, on bad weather and fewer vineyards, and it added there may not be enough wine in future years.

But don't start hoarding your wine, because analysts are seeing it differently."

Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com

Ask Well: Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com:

"The short answer is probably yes: You can drink your wine and cook it too.

Red wine essentially has two properties that make it good for health when consumed in moderation. One is its alcohol content, which is known to increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce levels of fibrinogen, a precursor of blood clots. The other is its abundance of polyphenols, natural compounds like resveratrol that, according to some studies, can protect blood vessels and help reduce inflammation."

US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy

Follow the link below for a list of vendors offering credit cards with smart chips.  We recently visited France, and thankfully had one credit card with a chip.  It came in handy many times.

US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy:

"Most US cards don’t have chip technology because it is expensive and not required by US merchants, so issuers have been dragging their feet on issuing new cards with them. The good news, though, is that we’re seeing more and more issuers putting chips in more and more cards because of consumer demand, so if you’re in the market for a new credit card, chances are you can find one that suits your needs financially and has a chip in it."
