...Internet changed people's attitudes toward moonshine? Fifteen or 20 years ago, there was one article on how to make fuel out of grain. Once you can do that, you can make booze. Now there are thousands of resources online. You can order the apparatus. You can buy the ingredients. You can ask people what you've done wrong. And it's odd because it's a gray hobby. It's not like these people are making any money or even thinking of themselves. It's not about breaking the law - it's about fooling around. It's about cooking...
...restaurants, but the one his heart seems to be in the most is the meat restaurant, which will feature two kinds of beef: a grass-fed Italian Piedmontese variety in various raw preparations ("tartare, carpaccio, a little raw-meat salad with apples ...") as well as a grain-fed superbeef that will be engineered at Carnevino by beef guru Adam Perry Lang. "Mario is really out of control with this new project," a young cook told me. "He's so happy to be back at the oven...
There are two sports in which the Canadians expect nothing less than gold: hockey and curling, and not necessarily in that order. So why is curling a Canadian obsession? "Because we have winter," says Bill Holder, a grain farmer from Kenaston, Sask., who has been curling for 40 years.

In Canada, the shiny bald dome of Kevin Martin, 43, the Canadian men's curling skip, might as well be this year...
...overbearing, keep the song from reaching the emotional peaks for which it aspires. A smoky upright bass pattern lightly supports the Sunday-afternoon strumming of the laconic acoustic and the waves of organ that sweep through the wide-open spaces of the song like wind in fields of grain. Adu pulls off some memorable melodies, making use of her powerful and malleable voice, but the track somehow feels distant and merely pleasant. The instruments still sound prepackaged and the chord changes, while effective, remain obvious. The production, though nearly flawless, places more of an emotional divide between the band...
...typically earthy metaphor for a poet derided by his detractors as artless and quaintly rustic. The landscapes in his poems are undeniably folksy. Villagers get drunk on bootleg makgeolli - the milky, fizzy rice wine making a comeback in South Korea these days, thanks in part to a national grain surplus. Surprised burglars are spotlit by incandescent moons. Young lovers do amorous things in barley fields while dogs couple in dusty streets. Fauna make their appearance throughout Ko's work - he jabbers lovingly with crabs and cuttlefish and applauds croaking frogs and other critters. "Accept my respects, uncle boars," he offers...
