The Chinon watch has unique feature called as ‘heat watcher’. The watch able to notify its user that it’s time to have a break and start drinking mineral water to prevent heatstroke. Made in Japan, this watch has built-in hygrometer and can do some weird calculation based on temperature of user’s body and the humidity in the air before decide to notify its users.

Nagano-based Chinon [JP] has released a wristwatch that doubles as a portable health monitor. The so-called Heat Watcher is able to caution users who exercise or work under extreme circumstances against heatstrokes. Users can pre-set the watch via 3 levels that determine the expected intensity of the work or exercise (light, medium and hard).

Another attempt at milking modern Templar research for all its worth.  I hate to be so templar-cynical.  I guess I am jaded. I will not resurrect the Chinon journalistic fiasco.  I promise. I will admit that I am very interested to see the prayer itself, especially if it is addressed to the Blessed Virgin.  So far I have not been able to find a translation.

Ok, jetlag is done, culture shock is mitigated, and my life is starting to get back to its crazy usual self. I’ve inoculated my system with some fresh Iberian wines and assorted tapas.

Like the concept of a chef’s tasting menu itself, the “with wine pairings” option has its detractors. Those who aren’t fans feel that you’re likely to end up with leftovers in both scenarios. There’s a certain way to avoid the potential pitfalls of at least the first of these two scenarios.

Unfortunately, I let the New York stop of the Loire Valley Wines 2008 roadshow come and go. I was so busy getting settled and catching up on things. As a consolation prize, I did have the chance to enjoy a wine from area that I picked last week. This Chinon, Les Granges (2006), it's is a family affair (as Sly Stone said).
