That news article that prompted to review "The Last Seduction" reminds me of a photo I saw many years ago at Suzanne Morgan's house, back in 1999, where she had blonde hair. Suzanne always had dark hair when I saw her. I think that Grace Stahre even once told me that Suzanne Morgan had once been a stripper. I think that was when Grace was commenting about Suzanne's fake breasts, or so she was saying, something about "plastic breasts." There was also the woman named Kate who was from Britain that Suzanne introduced me to around that time.
That was during the time with Laura Mason, who told me she was an aircrewman on the EA-6 Prowler aircraft and a Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserves. That was also around the time Suzanne Morgan was wanting me to pick her up some CD-R discs from Fry's in Portland and she made a big deal about that store. Other comments from my manager, the "Captain Janeway" look-alike was that I was her "hit man" and she asked me if I wanted to go on a "jihad." She was my first manager while I was working at Microsoft with my official United States undercover identity, but I was hired by one of her peers named Vern.
After a year in Premier Support for Enterprise as a Technical Account Manager - I think they have changed the names of all that to cover the tracks of the Microsoft-Corbis criminal conspiracy - I moved to Premier Support for Developers as an ADC, or Applications Development Consultant. Microsoft-Corbis assigned a guy named Tom Burke to transition into that new role, after I transitioned all my TAM accounts to a new Microsoft employee, who had just moved to Washington State from Hawaii, and who told me he was originally from the Philippines.
Tom Burke reminds me of my true first name, as well as the Arleigh Burke-class of U.S. Navy guided missile destroyers. I didn't think much about it at the time because I had never served, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, on a ship of that class. The first ship of that class was commissioned in July 1991 and according to military records, as part of my official United States undercover identity, as protected by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, among others, which obviously applies to my wife and me, I got out of the U.S. Navy in 1990.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_%28wine%29
Somewhere in the end of the 17th century, the sparkling method was imported to the Champagne region from Russia[citation needed], associated with specific procedures for production (including smooth pressing and dosage), and stronger bottles (invented in England) that could hold the added pressure. Around 1700, sparkling Champagne, as we know it today, was born.
The leading manufacturers devoted considerable energy to creating a history and identity for their wine, associating it and themselves with nobility and royalty. Through advertising and packaging they persuaded the world to turn to champagne for festivities and rites of passage and to enjoy it as a luxury and form of conspicuous consumption. Their efforts coincided with an emerging middle class that was looking for ways to spend its money on symbols of upward mobility.
In 1866, the famous entertainer and star of his day, George Leybourne began a career of making celebrity endorsements for Champagne. The Champagne maker Moët commissioned him to write and perform songs extolling the virtues of Champagne, especially as a reflection of taste, affluence, and the good life. He also agreed to drink nothing but Champagne in public. Leybourne was seen as highly sophisticated and his image and efforts did much to establish Champagne as an important element in enhancing social status. It was a marketing triumph the results of which endure to this day.
Champagne and the law
In the European Union and many other countries, the name Champagne is legally protected by the Treaty of Madrid (1891) designating only the sparkling wine produced in the eponymous region and adhering to the standards defined for it an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée; the right was reaffirmed in the Treaty of Versailles after World War I.
Even the term méthode champenoise or champagne method was forbidden consequent to a court decision in 1994[3]. As of 2005, the description most often legally used for wines produced like champagne is méthode traditionnelle. Sparkling wines are produced worldwide, and many producers use special terms to define them: Spain uses Cava, Italy designates it spumante, and South Africa uses Cap Classique. An Italian sparkling wine made from the Muscat grape uses the DOCG Asti. In Germany, Sekt is a common sparkling wine. Other French wine regions cannot use the name Champagne, i.e. Burgundy and Alsace produce Crémant. Yet some Crémant producers label their wines to mislead drinkers to believe they are buying Champagne.[citation needed]
Other sparkling wines not from Champagne sometimes use the term "sparkling wine" on their label, while most countries have labeling laws preventing use of the word Champagne on any wine not from that region, some – including the United States – permit wine producers to use the name “Champagne” as a semi-generic name. One reason American wine producers are allowed to use European wine names is that the Treaty of Versailles, despite President Wilson signature, was not ratified by the U.S. Senate. The Treaty of Versailles included a clause limiting the German wine industry and allowing use of the word Champagne only for wines from the Champagne region, (the site of WWI battles). As the U.S. Senate did not ratify the Treaty, this agreement was never respected in the United States.
Current U.S regulations require that what is defined as a semi-generic name (Champagne) shall only appear on a wine's label if the appellation the actual place of origin appears, in order to not mislead drinkers. Because the quality of American sparkling wines is widely recognized, many American producers of quality sparkling wine now find the term "Champagne" useless in marketing them. Moreover, several key U.S. wine regions such as those in California (Napa, Sonoma Valley, Paso Robles), Oregon, and Washington (Walla Walla) now view semi-generic labeling as harmful to their reputations, (c.f. Napa Declaration on Place).
The Champagne winemaking community, under the auspices of the Comité Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne, has developed a comprehensive set of rules and regulations for all wine the region to protect its economic interests. They include codification of the most suitable growing places; the most suitable grape types, (most Champagne is a blend of up to three grape varieties — chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier — though five other varietals are allowed); and a lengthy set of requirements specifying most aspects of viticulture. This includes pruning, vineyard yield, the degree of pressing, and the time that wine must remain on its lees before bottling. It can also limit the release of Champagne to market to maintain prices. Only when a wine meets these requirements may it be labelled Champagne. The rules agreed upon by the CIVC are submitted for the INAO's final approval.
This was 444 weeks, 5 days, after 7/6/1979. It was also not long after I had returned from my escape from my second time as a Prisoner of War. When I was watching the 1986 “Platoon,” again recently on television, I was thinking that detail was incorporated into the ending with the dialog between Charlie Sheen and another actor about how they were going home because they were “two-timers” meaning they had been wounded twice in combat. Reinforced by the person sleeping in a bunk across from me in the first homeless shelter I was in back in summer 2005 that resembled Oliver Stone, I think the movie “Platoon” represents that I was in communication with U.S. military command at various times as I was traveling through Africa trying to get back home.
