Factoring In an Oak Cask
The Peconic Bay Winery helpfully telegraphs the style of its 2000 chardonnay. It is called La Barrique. A barrique is a 59-gallon oak cask typically used in Bordeaux. This means wine-savvy buyers will expect woodiness in the recipe..

Nestling In, to the East of Hollywood
The hillside terrain east of Hollywood is attracting builders, who are fitting houses into the steep slopes of neighborhoods like Echo Park, near Dodger Stadium. To keep the footprint small, Greg Chasen, a Los Angeles architect, designed a 1,700-square-foot wood-frame house, top left, as two stories clad in corrugated steel and Hardipanel (fiber cement board), which he painted blue. A terrace leading to the front door, top right, is built right into the hillside. The design is in the Southern California tradition of budget modernism, Mr. Chasen said, describing the style as simple boxy forms spiced up with some free-spirited dash of color and a hands-on construction process..

Habitats/Chelsea; Finding Furnishings on the Sidewalks of New York
GREG NORRELL doesnt fit anyones stereotype of a banker. Unless its typical for a banker to lug home a gigantic metal freezer door left on the street as garbage, thinking it stunning. Maybe its because he was new to New York and his eyes were more willing to see the amazing and the heart-stopping, which after a while become ordinary. Or maybe its because hes from Texas, land of the expansive and the large. For whatever reason, one night while he was out running after work, just weeks after moving from Houston into his new apartment in Chelsea, he saw a giant metal door lying on a sidewalk -- and imagined that it might be metamorphosed into something useful in his apartment..

NORMAN HOLDS ONE-SHOT LEAD
During another stormy day at the 115th British Open, Greg Norman of Australia staggered home on Turnberrys Ailsa Course with six bogeys on the last 10 holes today and just barely maintained his lead, finishing one shot ahead of Tommy Nakajima of Japan. Thus, the 31-year-old Norman, known as the White Shark, will be tested once again to see if he can hold a third-round, one-stroke lead and win a major tournament - a test he has failed twice so far this year. Playing through a lashing, horizontal downpour on the final three holes following intermittent rain in heavy winds for 15 holes, Norman shot four-over-par 74 just a day after he equaled the single-round record of 63 for a major tournament. This put Norman, who led by two after the second round, at one-over-par 211.

With Luck on His Side, Rohlf Wins Met Amateur
Some spectacular golf by Greg Rohlf from virtually impossible situations had the small gallery of family and friends in awe during todays final of the 96th Met Amateur. The 34-year-old Rohlf also had a number of unenviable moments before his 3-and-2 victory over Ed Gibstein in the 36-hole final of the tournament at the Deepdale Golf Club. Rohlf has been one of the areas top amateur golfers in this decade, winning many tournaments in stroke play. As a former pro who regained his amateur status five years ago, Rohlf had never won in match play until last Friday, the first day of match play in the oldest regional amateur competition in the United States. Rohlf, of Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, saved his best for the last day of the tournament against the 39-year-old Gibstein of nearby Engineers, who defeated Rohlf twice in match play last year, in the Richardson and in the Travis Memorial. Rohlf had to play his best. After a four-hole lead had dwindled to one with four holes to play on the 6,623-yard, par-70 Deepdale layout, a Vanderbilt legacy to Long Island golf, Rohlf came up with spectacular shots to win the next two holes and end the match. Rohlf also had luck on his side. His drive on the 15th hole hit a branch of a tree on the left and dropped into the fairway, leaving him more than 300 yards from the green. With Gibsteins drive more than 100 yards ahead, Rohlf was at a disadvantage. But he hit a 3-wood shot close to the green, chipped up and made par, while Gibsteins approach fell into the bunker on the left and he failed to save par. This is an awesome par, Fred Goldmann, the general manager of Deepdale, said of Rohlfs effort. Ive never seen anybody make par here like this before on this hole. Thats match play for you, Rohlf said about his par on the 431-yard 15th. Ed is way ahead of me with his drive, and I win the hole. Rohlf captured his first Met Amateur on the next hole when he hit his approach shot from the right rough with a sand wedge within 30 feet and sank the putt for birdie. Im standing over that putt and I told myself, This is to win the Met Amateur, and it went in, Rohlf said. I didnt think I had a chance coming into the tournament because I was playing poorly. Moving into a new house and spending time with his wife, Najia, who is expecting their first child next month, Rohlf had played little golf since winning the New York City Amateur and the Westchester Amateur in June. He had problems with his swing and sought advice from his friend Ralph Garofano, the assistant pro at Brae Burn in Purchase. Garofano straightened Rohlf out to the point that Rohlf is playing as well as he did a year ago, when he was the player of the year in the Metropolitan Golf Association..

17-Year Cicadas Answer Cue With a Crunch Across the East
The cicadas are back. Or, since theyve never actually left -- just dropped out of sight -- theyre out again. In the echoic thrum in the air in the deep woods, in the crunch of their discarded larval husks, in the spastic flight paths of giant insects that only just got their wings, the return of the 17-year cicadas has begun to be heard, and seen, in the New York region.. Return of 17-year cicadas is being heard and seen in New York region as rains softened soil enough to allow first of uncounted billions to wake from larval slumber, climb nearest tree, pole or pant leg, shed crusty skins and begin looking for mates; Princeton arborist Greg ONeil says there is little to be done about cicadas, which pose no serious threat to humans or pets; photos (M)
