Spot-checks by the Edinburgh licensing board to help bring calm to some of the city's wildest pubs and clubs due to neighborhood complaints bore more of a resemblance to a late-night tea party for those establishments that may have received prior warning. One bar reportedly had sufficient time to "lay on tea and scones for the nightclub-weary group".

We've written about Pu'er's surging popularity in urban Chinese hot spots before so I won't repeat, but it does include another subtle angle I've been lucky enough to experience for myself: "Yet for many families in the remote reaches of Yunnan, tea-picking remains outside the realm of commerce. It's something they do for themselves and is so tightly intertwined with their daily lives that harvesting tea is a routine household chore like putting the laundry out to dry."

(Ateava's Whitney Biennial 2008 Review) http://virb.com/ateava/posts/text/564620 See you in two years... The Whitney Biennial 2008 just wrapped up and being a critical barometer of the American contemporary art scene, Ateava chose to brief review the event. For those of you who don't know, the biennial is a well regarded contemporary American exhibition held in New York City highlighting relatively unknown artists. This year's biennial was raw and focused. It's also my favorite one of the past four. No gimmicks were present here, and if they existed, were well hidden. The chief curators, Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne managed to capture how relevant art is in these restless, discontented times. I'm usually turned off by art as social commentary, but found many of the underlying themes that did pay homage to the ills or times interestingly relevant. Found objects installations and videos were prevalent, while painting was a rarity. Understandably, there may be some who will tag this year's exhibition as mediocre, but this sentiment most likely stems from their expectations of what art should be. If you choose to look at the biennial (and art in general) in terms of "ideas", then it should be a success. Clearly the show struggles to make sense of current social, political and economic contexts vis-à-vis a non preachy, raw, conceptual vocabulary. Those looking for meticulously crafted, tangible installations, that speaks to subjects such form and color should look elsewhere. Unhappy, unglamorous, and restless yes, but this show is also more alive and optimistic about art since the wave of American pioneers beginning the the 60s and 70s. ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 01:34:20 -0700 http://virb.com/ateava/posts/text/564620 In case you forgot what pure talent looks like... http://virb.com/ateava/posts/text/553174 Want more? ]]> Sun, 06 Apr 2008 22:53:07 -0700 http://virb.com/ateava/posts/text/553174 Study: Antioxidants found in red wine and tea may help regulate blood sugar in diabetics. http://virb.com/ateava/posts/text/550905 and yes, I also enjoy wine sometimes). Here is one more for the books: Kalidas Shetty, Young-In Kwon and Emmanouil Apostolidis of the University of Massachusetts Amherst suggest red wine and tea may help type 2 diabetics by inhibiting the action of alpha-glucosidase, which slows down the absorption of glucose from the small intestine. The study, published in the Journal of Food Biochemistry, finds red wine was able to inhibit the enzyme by nearly 100 percent and white wine hovered around 20 percent. Oh.....and black tea had the highest effect on inhibiting the activity of alpha-glucosidase, followed by white tea and oolong tea.
