The annual road safety event encourages high school mixmasters from across Manitoba to whip up an original non-alcoholic beverage that will wow a panel of celebrity judges and also encourage people to stay sober if they plan to get behind the wheel - a competition from which Elton brought home top honours last year. After mulling over a couple of names with the rest of their Grade 10 Promotions class - including a proposal for the Atomic Elixir - Martin and Kingdon settled on After Shock as a suitable name for their sweet solution and went straight to work from there.

Nothing says humanity's demise can't provide some laughs along the way. To prove this, the acclaimed Welsh author Jasper Fforde has prepared his depiction of a brave new world to be a bit more overtly entertaining than is the norm; think Aldous Huxley by way of Douglas Adams. Shades of Grey begins a new series for Fforde, best known for his riotously funny Thursday Next novels. Set in a "Colortocracy" where one's stature depends on an ability to perceive colours, Grey is a complex tale of mystery, irony and clever humour that highlights Fforde's gift for wit, fantastically goofy plotlines and surprising satire. To keep society in "Stasis," the "Word of Munsell," a strict set of "Rules" has been set in place and followed to the letter, no matter how seemingly random they might appear.

The winners be announced around 9 p.m. The idea for the contest came from Howarth's decade-long participation in the national Bud Country Talent Search for adults, which followed a similar format. Chris Thorsteinson, who won the older age group in 1991, is the lead vocalist of Canadian country stars Doc Walker. In 2002, Howarth held the preliminaries contest in the Trails West banquet room instead of the bar, disappointing the young singers who hoped to perform on the main stage. The Liquor Commission eventually relented, allowing family-oriented events back into beverage rooms in time for the finals of the 2002 contest, but only if they delicensed the nightclub and didn't serve liquor that day.

When I asked some of city's finest palates their recommendations on which wines at the festival were not to be missed, the MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir from California was mentioned time and again. The Undurraga Aliwen Cabernet/Carmenere, which sells for $12.23, was decent for the price - the Carmenere was tempered, but the green pepper still shone through. [...] the Cono Sur Organic Cabernet Carmenere was sort of "Carmenere Light" -- the Cab muted the green pepper in the Carm a bit, resulting in a satisfying beverage that's $14.22 a bottle.

While over the long haul, wine will turn bad if it's exposed to oxygen for too long, as in several hours (or days in an already-opened bottle that hasn't been vacuum-pumped to remove excess air), if it's open to the elements for a shorter time, it generally evolves into a smoother, softer beverage that's more pleasing to most palates. [...] just uncorking, or un-screw-capping, the bottle, which is what folks from the "breathing" era used to do, doesn't suffice. [...] pouring back and forth a few times really does the trick, and that realization has considerably diminished my reluctance to decant.
