Read the label. How many times have we been told that?

But with Memorial Day barreling down upon me, making for a short work week and early deadlines, I committed to writing about souse before I read the label.

I procured my first few slices at the Border Station in Moyock, N.C., a gas station-convenience store-souvenir shop that sits smack on the Virginia-North Carolina line.

Bypass the Cheerwine and colas bobbing in ice chests near the cash register, stroll to the end of the corridor of canned peanuts and jams, and - bam! - there it is, a refrigerator case of barbecue, side meat, slab bacon - and souse.

I had a vague notion of what souse is - a down-home relative of chitterlings (which I've heard are wonderful when cooked correctly) and kin to the jars of unnaturally pink pickled pigs' feet that I've occasionally seen (but not ordered) in barbecue joints alongside country roads.

Border Station sells packages of four thin slices of souse loaf laid out on a white Styro-foam tray and wrapped in plastic for $2.99 a pound. The slices looked slightly limp and resembled an olive loaf, though milky white and embedded with pig-flesh-colored strips and red pepper flecks.

Later, I found completely different-looking souse at Jeb's Corner Market, a meat and seafood shop in Carrollton. That souse was darker and firmer and looked more akin to salami.

Finally, back at home, I read the labels.

We all know that ingredients, by law, are listed on the label in the order of volume. The first ingredient is the most prevalent, the second is the second-most, and so on.

The first ingredient on both labels gave me pause: pork snouts. Talk about honest labeling. The second was pork skins. Both packages listed spices, vinegar and gelatin to hold it all together.

My stomach did a quick Replica Omega Planet Ocean Watches turnaround.

Further research revealed that souse is traditionally made from a whole boiled hog's head, but it can come from pigs' ears, knuckles and feet (aka trotters), which yield enough natural gelatin to hold the mass together.

Another quick turnaround.

I called Chef Sydney Meers for a pep talk. Meers owns the restaurant Stove in the Port Norfolk neighborhood of Portsmouth. His specialty is neo-Southern cooking, and he's bold with ingredients such as pork brains.

"We scramble souse with eggs, and I've put it in (savory) cheesecakes when I can get it," he said. "My daddy liked to put it on a little white bread with a piece of liverwurst. He'd go to town with it.

"It's delicious."

Other people mentioned eating souse accompanied by pickles, doused in vinegar or alongside potato salad.

So I made a batch of my favorite potato salad and sat down to my first bites of souse.

The Moyock souse, pale and glistening on my plate, seemed pretty hard-core. I took a bite. The texture was extremely gelatinous, and the pork flavor was straightforward. I could tell I wasn't eating the best part of the animal.

But to my surprise - and relief - the souse from Carrollton tasted like eastern North Carolina barbecue with big, pleasing flavors of pork and vinegar.

WITH its stunning architecture, seductive cuisine and impossibly handsome and sharp-dressed residents, Rome is a popular destination for honeymoons and loved-up getaways.

The cobbled streets and piazzas also provide a majestic setting for Mark Steven Johnson's hapless romantic comedy.

But the picture-postcard locations are far more inspiring than the misfiring script, which creates a fictional fountain where lovelorn tourists toss coins and silently wish for romance.

This clumsy dramatic device initiates a preposterous battle of wits between one young woman and five potential suitors, none of whom are a suitable match.

Beth (Kristen Bell) is a curator at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. She is desperate to impress her boss, Celeste (Anjelica Huston), who has tailored her brusque management style on Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.

Celeste puts Beth in charge of the annual Circle Of Gold Gala with a stark warning that should anything go wrong, it will be the end of a burgeoning career.

In the middle of preparations, Beth travels to Rome to support her younger sister, Joan (Alexis Dziena), who is marrying an Italian stallion (Luca Calvani).

The curator is instantly attracted to accident-prone sports writer Nick (Josh Duhamel), only to see the hunk kissing another woman.

Feeling depressed, Beth wades into the famed Fountain Of Love and drunkenly snatches up a handful of coins and a poker chip.

As if by magic, the men who threw the tokens into the fountain all fall under Beth's spell.

To Beth's delight, Nick is one of her potential paramours but so too are artist Antonio (Will Arnett), egotistical model Gale (Dax Shepard), street magician Lance (Jon Heder) and businessman Al (Danny DeVito).

When In Rome makes poor use of a talented cast. We feel embarrassed for Arnett, De Vito and co.

A PIONEERING language school will open next year after planners gave it the go-ahead.

Despite deep reservations over how the Language Immersion Centre would affect the look of Commercial Road and Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester, members of Gloucestershire County Council's planning committee passed the application yesterday.

While experts believe it is a good example of "sensitive" architecture in a Replica Louis Vuitton Bags Handags Replica historic setting, one member of the committee branded it a "monstrosity".

But now work will start in September and by December next year the first students will arrive.

The centre will be built on the former Clutch Clinic site. Demolition was completed earlier this year.

The Language Immersion Centre will be the only one of its type in the country. It will teach students languages such has Mandarin, Arabic and Russian by immersing them in the language in a similar way to spending time in a foreign country.

"We can look forward to the most exciting language space for our young people," said one of the project's directors, Sue Turner, who is head of Chosen Hill School in Churchdown.

Government funding of Pounds 5million will stand if it is spent before August 2011 and built by the end of December 2011.

Chris Foley, head of regeneration at the South West Regional Development Agency, which is investing more than Pounds 380,000 in the project, said: "This exciting contemporary building is just what the Blackfriars area needs to attract visitors and businesses back to this neglected area of Gloucester.

"With the new Language Immersion Centre and the revitalised priory we are helping to create a new cultural Fake Oris Watches quarter for the city that will be good news for the local economy. Now planning permission has been granted, work can start on site soon with a view to the new centre being open to take its first students by 2011."

Sensitive Chris Oldershaw, chief executive of the Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company (GHURC), said: "We are delighted that a top flight architect was appointed for such a sensitive site. This scheme shows how Fake Patek Philippe contemporary architecture works well within an historic area."

The planning application was approved by the county council rather than the city council.

Gloucester Civic Trust was unhappy with aspects of the building relating to neighbouring Blackfriars Priory - the most complete in England. It houses a 13th Century scriptorium, considered one of the oldest libraries in Europe. It believes the city council should have ruled on the application.

Gloucester City Council objected to the application. One of its fiercest critics was Westgate division member Pam Tracey (Conservative), who said:"Blackfriars is well known. Those who sit on these consultation committees are not Gloucester people. "That is going to be a bleak view. It will be a monstrosity."

COOL, clean hitting by Will Porterfield and James Franklin kept Gloucestershire's flickering FPt20 hopes alive, writes Peter Orchard.

Dawid Malan smashed 86 from 44 deliveries for the hosts - including six sixes - but Middlesex's total of 185 for eight always looked surpassable on a sun-scorched Uxbridge outfield.

So it proved, as Porterfield struck a quickfire 79 and Franklin an unbeaten 51 as Alex Gidman's New-style Christian Louboutin Shoes men triumphed with four balls to spare.

England's much-vaunted Ashes secret weapon Steven Finn was dispatched to all parts by Gloucestershire openers Porterfield and Aaron Redmond.

Finn shipped 30 runs from his opening two-over burst, while Porterfield had reached a half-century off only 21 balls as Gloucestershire ended the Powerplay on 78 without loss.

Middlesex got their first breakthrough immediately after the fielding restrictions were lifted, Neil Dexter cleaning up Redmond for 20, and the same bowler struck two overs later when Hamish Marshall (5) nicked behind to Ben Scott.

Porterfield's dismissal was an unfortunate one, run out backing up by a diving Tom Smith, and it ended a superb 32-ball knock that contained seven fours and three sixes.

That could have derailed the chase, but only 26 more were needed for victory when Chris Taylor (27) was snared by Dexter at midwicket off Jackson Thompson in the 16th over.

Australian David Warner (1) had been first to perish in the Middlesex innings, caught and bowled by Steve Kirby off a leading edge in the second over. Kirby showed his fielding prowess to dispose of former Gloucestershire team-mate Thompson (14), clinging onto a steepling catch off Anthony Ireland, but Owais Shah and Malan ensured the hosts' total had reached 50 by the end of the Powerplay.

Shah was looking ominous, but a brilliant diving take by Gemaal Hussain at deep midwicket sent him packing for 27 off 21 deliveries and gave Richard Dawson a wicket in his first over.

That brought Dexter to the middle, and he was every bit as destructive as Malan - particularly square of the wicket - as the Gladiators temporarily lost control.

The pair had mustered 85 from 51 deliveries when Dexter (38) tried to smash Kirby for a second six of the 16th over and picked out Porterfield at long-off.

Tyron Henderson (10) was next to go, scooping Ireland to the reliable Marshall in the deep, and Middlesex's anxiety to reach 200 produced carnage in the 20th Replica Breitling Swiss Navitimer/Montbrillant Watches over as both Scott (0) and Smith (1) were run out and star man Malan was bowled by Kirby.

It's like having to pick between front-row seats to shows by Karl Lagerfeld or Giorgio Armani. Or having to chose between a Lamborghini and a Maserati.

On Dec. 3, doctors representing two stellar medical institutions will be in the Palm Beaches to discuss critical health-care topics. The events even start at the same time, 6 p.m.

Three Cleveland Clinic Florida heart experts will participate in the American Heart Association's Cleveland Clinic Goes Red event, which will be held at the Cleveland Clinic Florida Health & Wellness Center at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. The event also will feature complimentary glucose and blood pressure screenings, a red wine and dark chocolate station, and a healthful cooking demo by chef Zach Bell of Cafe Boulud.

Also on Dec. 3, Dr. Patrick Walsh, urology professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine, will give a talk on prostate cancer during a cocktail reception at Lydian Bank & Trust.

Women and heart disease

While most American men are aware that cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States, women tend to believe cancer is a bigger threat, according to Dr. Darryl Miller, a cardiologist with the Cleveland Clinic's center in West Palm Beach. That's one Breitling watches reason he's participating in the Go Red event.

Until recently, scientists didn't know cardiovascular disease developed differently in women than men, because women traditionally were under-represented in heart disease studies, Miller said. Women tend to have narrowing of the arteries spread out across the cardiovascular system and are less likely to have a localized blockage, Miller said.

"The disease may be more small-vessel disease as well," Miller said.

The cardiologist urges women to take responsibility for their heart health. "They tend to do less exercise, especially older women," Miller said.

Increasing physical activity, eating a healthful diet, not smoking, avoiding obesity and having periodic screenings for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes are ways women and men alike can reduce their risk of heart disease, Miller said.

Stacey Dowdle, vice president of the American Heart Association's Palm Beach chapter, said her organization gave $32 million to Cleveland Clinic and $45 million to Johns Hopkins from 1988 through 2008, as well as millions to other top heart disease research institutions, because of the threat the illness poses. "More women are dying of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined," Dowdle said. "It equates to 450,000 women in the United States every year."

Prostate health

Though recent news reports have questioned the effectiveness of the prostate-specific antigen (psa) blood test in reducing deaths from prostate cancer, Dr. Walsh, the Johns Hopkins urologist, said it is a valuable tool. "Before psa testing, in 1990, only 68 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer appeared to have disease localized to their prostate and 21 percent had (prostate cancer) metastasized to bone," Walsh said from Baltimore.

"In 2009, 91 percent had localized disease and only 4 percent presented with bony metastases. Thus today men have a choice that they never had before," said Walsh, author of Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer. "They can undergo testing and if they have cancer chose treatment or observation. Or they can do nothing and run
