Rapid infant feeding assessment Key findings of Individual Interviews of caretakers with 0-6/6-12 month old infants Temporary Shelters, Myaung Mya Town, Ayeyarwaddy (Delta) Division May 18th 2008 Conducted by: Aye Aye Khaine, Program Manager, Nutrition Program Hthan Zar Lian, Area Manager, Nutrition Program Zaw Min Lay, Project Assistant, Nutrition Program Dr. Aung Kaung Myat, Volunteer Dr. Aung Myo Thant, Volunteer Contact Victoria Sibson (Emergencies Nutrition Adviser), firstname.lastname@example.com for further information Aims: Following reports of 10 motherless infants <12 months in the temporary shelters of Myaung Mya town, this rapid assessment was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of alternative feeding, without using infant formula or breastmilk substitute, for motherless infants 0-6 or 6-12 months old. The main purposes were to offer sound advice rapidly to the caretakers of these infants, and to better understand the perception and the acceptability of affected communities regarding wetnursing and/or spoon-feeding expressed breastmilk for those infants. There were also questions regarding assessing the food being provided currently and before the storm hit. Method: The assessment team included 3 members from Save the Children Nutrition Program and 2 volunteer medical doctors. Individual interviews were conducted using a short semi structured questionnaire. Caretakers of motherless infants under 12 months were sought for interview through consultation with Save the Children Child Protection staff. Interviews also took place with some mothers of infants <12 months old. Interviews took place on the 18th of May, 08 at 7 different temporary shelters in Myaung Mya Town, Ayeyarwaddy (Delta) Division. A quick review of secondary data on infant and young child feeding practices pre cyclone was also undertaken to inform interpretation of the interviews and preliminary recommendations. Results: A total of 13 caretakers participated in the interviews. Among the 13 infants, 7 were female infants and 6 were male infants. 4 were less than 6 months old and 9 were 6-12 months old. The youngest infant was 17 days old. Out of caretakers interviewed infants, only 5 have no mothers. 2 out of 3 mothers reportedly died in the storm. Nutritional Care Assessment – Temporary Shelters, Myaung Mya Town 1 All caretakers came from villages surrounding Laputta town. They were sent to temporary shelters in Myaung Mya due to the over flow of affected people in shelters in Laputta Town. Many of them do not know where they will be settled or relocated. Many female caretakers we interviewed were concerned about the return to their original/former locations (villages) as there are nothing left. Regarding wet nursing or spoon feeding of expressed breastmilk, the acceptability among the caretakers is high. Some mothers were already wet nursing near by infants in the temporary shelter. However, a few mothers think that the breast milk production has 'gone slow' due to the wet nursing of an additional infant. In a few cases, the infants refused to be given the breast-milk of a wet nurse mother. The reasons why the infants would refuse to get another mother's breast milk is not clearly known among the assessment team. One respondent expressed uncertainty about spoon feeding of breast milk as she/he thought that the breast milk will be sour already when it is time to spoon feed an infant. 24 hour diet recall for the infants suggests low rates of exclusive breastfeeding for infants 0-6 months. And, that caretakers, understandably, are giving only the food they are being provided by the shelter organizer to the infant. The caretakers have no means to access markets for additional food items as they have no income. The main food items being given to the infants are cooked rice and high energy biscuits. Less than 6 months old babies, especially with no mother, are given milk made from powder or evaporated milk drinks, while a few other <6 months old were given breast milk from a wet nurse. Even before the cyclone, good diversity of food being given to above 6 months old rarely came up during the interview. A few mothers (2-3) were also already introducing mashed rice (namely, Kazi) to the <6 months old babies in their villages before the cyclone. Taking into considerations of these caretakers having to rely on the shelter-provided food, feeding a quality diet to infants 6-12 months old is currently difficult. As mentioned earlier, most food that come through food aid are basic food items such as rice. The adult caretakers feed what they get to eat to the child as well. In addition to feeding situation, it was observed that many of the infants are not fully or warmly dressed. 3 infants were having diarrhea. A few infants look weak and/or thin (no anthropometric assessment was undertaken). Considering the type and amount of food currently being provided to the affected communities in shelter setting and the special situation of infants left with no mothers, it is challenging to encourage exclusive breastfeeding and continued breast feed the child (>6 months old) with complimentary foods as per standard practice. For the mothers with infants < 6 months old, the current environment does not facilitate them for caring the infant in a quiet place. Pre existing poor feeding practices are also a challenge (see below). As the weather is very rainy, the caretakers strongly expressed an immediate need for more baby cloths (diaper-like cloth) wraps, baby (cosmetic) powder, and thermos flasks. Some caretakers expressed the need for very basic minimal cooking utensils. The most concern that women expressed was that they would like to have a stable shelter to come back to after working. A few women imagined themselves to settle in the town where they are currently placed. Many of them, especially women, expressed a desire to get back to work, which is impossible with no farm implements (e.g. fish net, etc…). Summary: The interviews suggest current suboptimal infant feeding practices and extra challenges facing motherless infants, but positive views towards wet nursing. If nutritional needs of these young Nutritional Care Assessment – Temporary Shelters, Myaung Mya Town 2 children are not addressed appropriately in very coming days, the risk for becoming malnourished in these children is very high. Recommendations are made below, but first an awareness of pre cyclone situation will be useful to guide messages and interventions: Pre cyclone situation: A quick review of relevant secondary data1 on infant and young child feeding practices suggests that pre cyclone immediate breastfeeding is common, pre-lacteals likely rare and on demand feeding and prolonged breastfeeding to 2 years common. But also that early (before 6 months) introduction of water is likely, making exclusive breastfeeding rate low (MICS 2000 - 0-3 months 16%, with 70% receiving water or other liquids from soon after birth). National and more local studies show that complementary feeding mostly starts earlier than the recommended 6 months (MICS 2000 - 40-50% before 4 months); but in a significant proportion of children, also late (MICS 2000 - 15% at 9 months). In a small study in Minbu, 7% of 463 children reportedly received infant formula as their first food/drink. Rice is nearly always the first food, pre chewed by the mother, or squeezed through a sieve. Sometimes salt is added, and probably less often, oil. Findings of a previous Save the Children study in Kangidaunt, Ayeyarwaddy Division, shows that early introduction of complementary foods (commonly before 1 month, sometimes at 7 days) is a common practice amongst the mothers from all wealth groups considered to make the child stronger and healthier and enabling the mother to go out and work in the fields. Complementary feeding is likely also insufficiently frequent, and using low nutrient, low energy density foods (e.g. soups, low use of animal source foods). Foods given to the child depend on what is available, affordable and the beliefs of the caretaker (nb. Household Economic Assessments undertaken to date indicate largely unaffordability of good quality diets at the household level2). The Minbu study found that diversity and frequency (assessed against international benchmarks) worsened with age. Working mothers reportedly do make use of commercial baby foods, some of poor nutrient value, e.g. instant rice powder. Recommendations: Actions to support optimal infant and young child feeding should adhere to the Operational Guidance on Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies, Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies Operational Guidance. Version 2.1 Feb 2007, IFE Core Group (available online at www.ennonline.net). Further assessments of need are required in order to know where and how to respond appropriately 'Safe spaces' are required for children and caretakers to feed their child appropriately in a calm environment. These can be integrated in to other program activities as appropriate 1 Review of currently used infant feeding guidelines and information on infant feeding practices in Myanmar, Dec 13th 2001, Carol Williams; Nutrition, food security and livelihoods assessment, Minbu township, Myanmar.

SC – UK. 2007 Nutritional Care Assessment – Temporary Shelters, Myaung Mya Town 3 Broad education messaging is required on optimal infant and young child feeding practices (focusing on immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, dangers of infant formula, timely introduction of complementary foods). Key messages should be agreed across agencies. If exclusive breastfeeding is to be promoted now, consistent messaging is required. Where skilled assistance is not currently available, and given the difficult and unsanitary working environment, Save the Children is encouraging wet nursing/spoon feeding breast milk where mothers are not available to infants 0-12 months old. As soon as possible, skilled breast feeding counselors are essential to support appropriate feeding on a case by case basis, particularly for infants 0-6 month old, who have no possibility for being wet nursed and require support to safely artificially feed, but also to support re-lactation where required. Improved access to good quality complimentary foods is needed for children above 6 months old. Options are improved rations consistent with Sphere minimum standards, or support for local purchase of foods if available, e.g. through a voucher system. A longer term livelihood recovery plan is also greatly needed if broader food security issues, which impact heavily on the care of children, is to improve3.

Boston police, incoming mayor clash over AR-15 proposal
Mayor-elect Walsh believes the military-style weapons will not help to establish trust with residents
By Antonio Planas
The Boston Herald
BOSTON — Mayor-elect Martin J. Walsh is shooting down the plan to arm some Boston patrol officers with military-style rifles — setting up a potential showdown with the department which has backed the controversial measure, citing a need for high-powered weapons in light of school shootings and the marathon bombings.
"Mayor-elect Walsh is opposed to the AR-15 rifles," his spokeswoman Kathryn Norton said in a short statement yesterday. "Unless otherwise convinced by the Boston Police Department, he does not think they are necessary."
Walsh would have to approve a budget for 33 AR-15 rifles at a cost of $2,500 each. Police were in the planning phases of acquiring the rifles to put in the cruisers of two specially trained beat cops in each of the city's 11 districts.
Boston police spokesman Sgt. Mike McCarthy had said the plan to buy the guns and arm officers was in the works before the marathon bombings and was motivated by a nationwide surge in massacres such as the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., when suspects are still armed and shooting. The use of the weapons, he said, would be strictly regulated and would not be used during routine patrol. Use of the weapons could include an active-shooter incident, firing on a suspect from a distance and confronting a suspect wearing body armor.

Yes. Rainfall occuring over a shorter period causes flow rates to increase more rapidly on the rising limb resulting in larger flow rate Q.
Water infiltrates into the ground after the storm causing the water table to rise, which contributes more flow to the stream.
Multiply the flow magnitude across time intervals using the time period to get flow volume. Area under the unit hydrograph will give direct runoff volume.
Total depth of rainfall remains unchanged regardless of the time interval of measurement. So, unit hydrograph will remain the same for 3-hr or 6-hr period of measurement.

The London Men's Collections ended a couple days ago, but the Real Street style simply doesn't stop!
Take a look at a few fab moments, taken on the last day of Spring 2015 men's shows in the UK:
A yellow statement necklace provided a stunning contrast to this show goer's salmon pink skirt.
Jazzy pants were toned down by black separates and a chic hat.
Londoners march to the beat of their own fantastic drum! To whit, this young man, who stood apart from the crowd in a hi lo heart decorated top and socks with sandals.
Cuffed pants are the craze right now! But if you rock it, take a note from this gentleman, who set his look off with a pair of snazzy socks.
This young lady simply knows what silhouette works for her! She's making me want to run out and find a pair of wide legged culottes.
I love the relaxed feel of this ensembles, and the plays on blue tones and patterns.
For this fashionisto, it was all about destroyed denim shorts, Balenciaga ceintaur boots, and leather.
Green pants and pink socks added interest to this buttoned up ensemble.
Bold colors mixed with camouflage for this fearlessly fashionable Brit.
Mirrored aviators provided a fun focal point to this casual look.
Red driving slippers provided an effortlessly cool contrast to this dapper gent's blue coat.
And lastly, when all else fails, black and white always works. And this diva is werking it!
What do you think of this last installment?
Images: David Nyanzi
All dope! Makes me want to take a trip to London just to people-watch lol
I love all of this! The men are looking so good, I love the guy with the aviators, i might show this look to my boyfriend for some inspiration for him but i doubt if he'll ever go to tight fitting pants lol. The ladies all look great too!
That dude on the stairs that Wil Iam lookalike, or however you spell that name and then the picture underneath that, the grey skinnies with the dark blue knit and those boots, FAB!!!

Extremely happy with the results!
David and his team did a fantastic job. From start to finish, they paid attention to the smallest detail and made sure the job was done right. Every member of his crew was professional and prompt. The results speak for themselves - beyond my expectations. I would have no reservations recommending them for any siding or roofing job, as well as the possibly for repeat business. Thanks again!

Should you get presents for your boss? If so, what gifts should you get? Reader A wonders:
I've been with my company for less than a year, and it's also my first corporate job. I work in a very small team, consisting of my two bosses and myself. As holiday season is almost upon us, I was wondering if you had any guidelines for what (if anything) is appropriate to give as a small gift for two supervisors who have been very generous with their time and expertise while I've been learning the ropes. Any suggestions welcome!
Hmmn. Hmmmn. We've talked about gifts for associates who refer you new business, hostess gifts for a dinner party at your boss's house, and gifts for your secretary, but this is a new one, and I'm curious to hear what readers say. For my $.02: I would be verrrry careful about giving gifts to a boss because I think it's unnecessary, and it's easy to offend. A too-personal gift (like towels or something) may create the impression that you don't know the difference between family and the office. On the other hand, a too-impersonal gift (a random gift that reads "this is my go-to gift when I don't know what to get," like a bottle of wine or a box of fruit) simultaneously smacks of "why even bother" along with "wait, does she think we were supposed to get her something?" A gift that's too small (like a $25 gift card) is both cheap and insulting (as in, you think your boss needs a $25 gift card) — but a gift that's too generous raises the problematic interpretation of, "she isn't working for the money."

The Bible is an invitation into an encounter with the living God. Its words are not a formula to obtain some notion of success in life, but an invitation into a communion of Love with the Living Word. The Bible is not some-thing, but reveals Some-One- Jesus Christ the Living Word of the Father. My favorite definition of a theologian is taken from the early Christian Monk Evagrius of Pontus. He said a theologian is one - who rests his head on the chest of Christ.

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - In the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) a beautiful teaching from the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council on the Word of God, we read this wonderful explanation of the Bible:
"(I)n the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them; and the force and power in the word of God is so great that it stands as the support and energy of the Church, the strength of faith for her sons, the food of the soul, the pure and everlasting source of spiritual life." (Paragraph 21)
The insight is the also a key to fruitfully reading the Bible. The Living Word, Jesus, speaks to us through the written word found in the Bible. Understanding the Bible depends upon having a living relationship with the Risen Lord and, through Him and in the Spirit, with the Father.
Everyone one of us can have this very kind of relationship with the Father through prayer. Our ability to pray also increases the more we actually read the Word of God. The two feed one another and fuel one another.
St Paul told Timothy who led the struggling Church of Ephesus, "from infancy you have known (the) sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:15-16).
Timothy had a fruitful relationship with the Scriptures because He had an intimate loving relationship with the Lord whom they reveal. If we want to understand the Bible - and have it really change us - we need to grow in the kind of faith Timothy had. That kind of faith will also grow in us as we read, pray and study the words of Scripture - with faith. The two are inextricably connected.
Several years ago a gathering of scripture scholars was held in Rome at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The group encouraged what they called a "kneeling exegesis". Exegesis is a word which refers to the study of the bible. I loved the phrase kneeling exegesis because it speaks to what should be obvious, but sadly is not; only through prayer can we encounter the living Word of God in the written words of the Bible.
The Bible is at the heart of the Church's worship, faith and life. It is the "Book of the Church." Christianity is not about "me and Jesus" but me in Jesus. Through Baptism we come to live in His Body, the Church. We are incorporated into the living, Risen Christ when we are baptized into His Church. We become members of His mystical body and we enter into that New Creation, beginning right now.
When God chose to reveal Himself He did not throw a book out of heaven. Rather, the Word was made Flesh. He became one of us. Through the Incarnation - which includes the entirety of the life, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ- a new creation began.
The Church is not some organizational afterthought put together after the Resurrection of Jesus. It is the plan of God for the salvation of the entire human race. The Church is the Body of the Risen Christ and the seed of the kingdom to come. Through baptism into His death and resurrection all men and women can become sons (and daughters) in the Son.
The Church is the new family into which we are reborn through the womb of that Baptismal font. This is why we call the Church "Mother". In the Church we live our lives in Him, with one another, for the sake of the world. She is meant to be the home of the whole human race.
God has entrusted the Bible to this Church. It was first received by the early Church in the form of the Old Testament books, the Gospels and the letters of the apostles that were "circulated" (that is what the word "encyclical" means) among the early Christian communities.
Later, the "Canon" (which means "measuring stick"), was finalized within the Church. It is intended to govern her life and worship. It is the guide for her in carrying forward the redemptive work of Jesus on earth until He comes again.
The Bible is an invitation into an encounter with the living God. Its words are not a formula to obtain some notion of success in life, but an invitation into a communion of Love with the Living Word. The Bible is not some-thing, but reveals "Some-One" - Jesus Christ the Living Word of the Father. In those words of St. Paul to Timothy, "all Scripture is inspired by God." (2 Tim. 3:16) The Greek word translated inspired means "God-breathed".
The early Christians received the scriptures as a gift. They knew that the sacred words were to lead to a deeper communion of love with their source, the Living Word of God. Early theologians were mystics. My favorite definition of a theologian is taken from the early Christian Monk Evagrius of Pontus.
He said a theologian is one who "rests his head on the chest of Christ." The image calls to mind the beloved disciple, John, depicted as doing just that in early Christian art. It speaks of the indispensable prerequisite for any fruitful study of the Bible, a relationship with the Lord in the intimacy of prayer.
Early Christians viewed the reading of Scripture as a way of encountering the Living Word, who gives Himself as bread to those who feed on this written Word. This practice is kept alive in the Christian monastic tradition, particularly among Benedictines in the West.
It is embedded in the Eastern Christian tradition and is especially evident in the writings of the early Church fathers. They wrote in a sort of stream of scriptural consciousness, moving from inspired thoughts to actual biblical quotes and back; most often without any reference to the specific "chapter and verse". The text was living within them. To use a phrase from my childhood they "knew it by heart."
This way of encountering the Lord in His Word can be cultivated in our lives. It involves meeting the Lord in His word and being changed in that encounter. It can inform a rhythmic way of life steeped in the practice of the presence of God throughout the day. Participation in the rich and beautiful pattern of the Liturgical life of the Church, filled as it is with the Biblical texts that are arranged for the faithful daily, helps to develop this rhythm.
This relational approach to reading and praying the Bible is referred to in Western writings as "Lectio Divina" and I recently wrote about it for Catholic Online in an article entitled, Praying the Bible: Lectio Divina Helps us Fall in Love with the Living Word which you can read here.
On July 11th in the liturgical calendar of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church we remember Benedict of Nursia, the great founder of Western Monasticism. He wrote a rule or way of life for the brothers who followed Jesus along with him. These words are contained within it:
"What, dear brothers, is more delightful than this voice of the Lord calling to us? See how the Lord in his love shows us the way of life. Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, let us set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide - that we may deserve to see him who has called us to his kingdom." (1 Thess 2:12).
These words can guide all of us as Christians, no matter what our state in life or vocation. We can all hear the voice of the Lord. He speaks to us in so many ways. We can hear His voice guiding us. One of the primary ways that happens is through the Word of God, the Bible. The Bible is a treasure which has been given to us by the Holy Spirit. Let us open up the treasure chest, read, pray and encounter the Living Word in the written word of God.

USU football: Kerwynn Williams named to CBSSports.com 2012-13 All-Bowl Team
Utah State's Kerwynn Williams added another postseason honor Wednesday by being named to the CBSSports.com 2012-13 All-Bowl Team.
Williams joined Alabama's Eddie Lacy as the two running backs on the all-bowl team. Other offensive players named to the CBSSports.com All-Bowl Team include quarterback Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M); wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (Clemson), Jordan Taylor (Rice) and Ace Sanders (South Carolina); tight end Travis Kelce (Cincinnati); and the Alabama offensive line of Cyrus Kouandjio, Chance Warmack, Barrett Jones, Anthony Steen and D.J. Fluker.
Williams, a 5-foot-8, 189-pound senior running back from Las Vegas, Nev. (Valley HS), rushed for a career-high 235 yards on just 18 carries (13.1 ypc) with three touchdowns in Utah State's 41-15 win against Toledo in the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Williams had 198 rushing yards in the fourth quarter alone on just seven carries as he had touchdown runs of 63, 5 and 25 yards as the Aggies outscored the Rockets, 28-9, in the final 15 minutes.
Williams, who added two receptions for 34 yards in the contest, was named the Most Valuable Player of the game, as his 235 rushing yards tied for the second-most in the 15-year history of the bowl and were the 11th-most in a single-game in school history. Williams also tied his career-high with his three rushing touchdowns against UT, which is also the second-most in Famous Idaho Potato Bowl history.

Giants pitching falters for second straight night
Bumgarner, who pitched a one-hitter against the Reds on June 28, retired the first three hitters before Ludwick's home run to center quieted the sold-out crowd at AT&T Park. It is only the second home run given up by Bumgarner in five postseason appearances.
Ludwick was also instrumental in the Reds three-run fourth.
Joey Votto and Ludwick both singled to open the inning. After Bumgarner got Jay Bruce to foul out to third baseman Sandoval, Scott Rolen singled to drive in Votto and took second when San Francisco right fielder Pence threw to the plate.
Ryan Hanigan followed with a two-run single to center to make it 4-0.
"Being able to get Cain and Bumgarner out that early and get to the bullpen was important. Everybody knows how good they are," Reds outfielder Drew Stubbs said. "We came out here with the intention of getting one of two. Getting two is a bonus. Now the ball is in our court so to speak and we have to finish it out. This is who we are and what we are capable of."
Bochy pulled Bumgarner after he allowed consecutive hits in the fifth. George Kontos replaced Bumgarner and got Ludwick to ground into a 6-4-3 double play.
Lincecum, the long-haired star of the pitching staff during the Giants improbable title run, made only the third relief appearance of his career and allowed one hit over two scoreless innings.
And the rest of the relievers who had been so reliable after losing All-Star closer and 2010 majors saves leader Brian Wilson to Tommy John surgery couldn't shut down the Reds, either.
Fans left the Giants waterfront ballpark in droves in the midst of Cincinnati's five-run eighth inning, unsure whether their team would be back for another game this season.
Homer Bailey, who pitched a no-hitter Sept. 28 at Pittsburgh, will pitch for the Reds on Tuesday.
"We're not done yet," Bumgarner said. "It's happened before to teams and they've come back and won. It just doesn't happen very often but it has been done before so we're going to keep fighting until the end."

Kansas City is the heart of Middle America, about as close

always viewed it quite positively. I passed through on the highway a few times over

I have two associated business objects - A and B. the association is (A->B)many-to-one, with B.Id a foreign key in A (so A has A.B_id in the DB).
I'm using lazy=true and solved most of my problems, however in A's ToString I want to print also A.B.Id, which I should have without further trips to the DB. but accessing A.B activates the proxy, and since this isn't in the context of an open session, throws an exception.
one easy but ugly solution would be to have A.B_id property. but that's part of the stuff we were trying to avoid in the first place. any "organic" way to do this? :) thanks!
UPDATE: just read about caching and Session.Get vs. Session.Load. before I only new that one throws an exception if the object doesn't exist (Session.Load), and the other returns a null object (Session.Get). after reading about caching here, it's clear that Session.Load returns a proxy to the object, and only lazily fetches it when a property other than the ID is accessed, which is very much like what I need from associations! for now I added the separate object ids (added B_Id to A so I can access it as A.B_Id instead of using A.B.Id)

A whiff of snootiness
How to fool experts into thinking you know the slightest thing about wine
I'm having a hard time typing today's column, because my eyes keep being drawn to a sexy little golden statuette parked on the side of my desk.
I picked up this little beauty -- a buxom woman in a clingy evening gown made from gold-painted plastic -- the other night at the big media competition to kick off the 13th annual Winnipeg Wine Festival in support of Special Olympics Manitoba.
In previous years, the festival has kicked off with a Celebrity Grape Stomp, where local media persons would thrash around for two minutes inside a grape-filled barrel until their overworked hearts burst out of their pounding chest cavities and skittered away, slipping on puddles of grape juice that had splattered on the floor.
This year, however, we media personalities were divided into two-person teams and then forced to compete in a quiz to test our knowledge of both wine and Hollywood movies. I was teamed up with hard-hitting sports columnist Gary Lawless, who, along with being an expert in hockey and football, is also surprisingly knowledgeable about the finer things in life, such as wine.
The way it was supposed to work was our wine columnist and book editor, Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, would politely ask a wine-related question, then the competitors would buzz in by clinking their teammate's wine glass. What actually happened, considering we had spent the early part of the evening drinking free alcohol, was we just jumped out of our chairs on stage and began shrieking our answers.
So it was chaotic but entertaining and in the end, even though Gary and myself were easily the loudest and heaviest team, I have no idea who won. Fortunately, that did not prevent me from accidentally scooping up one of the little golden statuettes on my way out and taking it home as a heartfelt reminder you should always play fair, unless that's too hard.
But that is not today's cultured wine-drinking point. Today's point is, if you are planning on sipping, sniffing and swirling with the city's elite at the wine festival, which runs from April 27-May 3, you are going to need some expert tips to prevent you from looking like a complete idiot.
The good news is that I personally am an insufferable wine snob and am willing to share my expertise to help you be part of the "in" crowd at the public tastings, which are expected to draw more than 8,000 wine lovers to the RBC Convention Centre next Friday and Saturday. (Tickets are $49.95 and are available at www.winnipegwinefestival or by visiting your local Liquor Mart.)
Here are a few tips to ensure everyone realizes you are a pretentious wine snob, just like me:
1) Never smile -- Your face is the ultimate weapon at an upscale wine tasting. Your expression should be a permanent scowl. Even if a particular wine's bouquet reminds you of spring flowers, you should glare at it to convey the notion that the wine has made you extremely angry and, if you could, you would punch it in the mouth.
2) Etiquette -- Speaking of punching people in the mouth, that is exactly how you should react if someone is uncouth enough to suggest that you sample a glass of "domestic wine," defined as a wine coming from anywhere you have ever heard of in your life. Also, seeing as how the festival attracts huge crowds, when you walk around with your fragile wine glass, keep your elbows up and pointed outwards in case you need to "rub out" a wine enthusiast who wanders too close.
3) Discussing wine -- Remember: If you say the wrong thing, you will be vilified by all the other wine snobs in the room. To be safe, make sure no one can understand a single word that comes out of your mouth. For instance, never say a wine "tastes good" or "smells nice." Instead, here is a handy phrase: "I find this (insert type of wine here) to be somewhat strident and yet I am almost amused by its presumption. The chocolate and cigar notes accent the plummy and earthy character, giving it a concentrated mouth feel and lovely firm tannins that wrap around the pungently perfumed mix of asparagus acidity, vanilla and cat pee on a mulberry bush."
It's hard to know how to act at a wine tasting if, like me, you know next to nothing about wine. If, however, you pretend to be a rude waiter at a fancy restaurant and sneer at everyone -- the way you look at a puppy that has just had an accident on your living-room carpet -- you should be fine. Above all, remember you're not just drinking wine; you're drinking fermented grape juice. Bottoms up!

Been using K&N air and oil breather filters since 1974. Only filters we use on all of the race cars and bikes. Like them so much they are on all of our own tow vehicles and street cars. Thanks for the great product.

This intake system did exactly what was advertised. It was extremely easy and quick to install and the performance increase was instantly noticed. With this intake you do hear the turbo kick in more, and the note of the engine changes slightly. But in all honesty if you are wanting to put this cold air intake on your Cruze, you probably want the additional sound. In addition to the K&N intake I have also installed a Jet Performance, Stage 1 ECU power module. These two components seem to compliment each other very nicely.

The air filter arrived as expected and have had it on for about (4) days now. Have noticed an increase in the throttle response time and you can hear that big V8 sucking that air in when you give it the gas. So far am very pleased.
December 26, 2014
Noticeable improvement in efficiency and performance as usual. Always the first and best upgrade to a new or old vehicle. Well worth the investment and look forward to adding the K&N cold air intake in the future.

This product was exactly what I was looking for in terms of durability and also gained a few MPG. Plus you can actually hear the motor now. Normal driving sounds the same as before but when you get on the gas you sure can hear that big V8 growl that a lot of people like to hear. Overall very happy with the product that K&N is making here. Just remember to put the MAF in the right direction.

I received this product from my wife on Christmas this year and I love it. The install takes about 1:30 but that was due to finding the right screws. If your an average joe and don't know much about cars you could easily install this part, it's only matching parts. Makes the car sound so much better. I put it on a 2013 Civic Si. The moment I pulled out of my driveway I noticed that the car's acceleration was amazingly enhanced and the engine sounds like you have so much more power!
December 25, 2014
A little pricey but well worth it. Overall install time takes about 30 mins. Sounds great when you get on the gas. I've also got a TRD exhaust system on my 2011 Toyota Camry SE (2.5) and in all honestly, sounds like a Subaru boxer motor with the addition of the K&N intake. Couldn't be happier with this product.

Once I replaced the filter (stock) with K&N, my truck seemed to run better. Also the pick up was better. I have used K&N filters on my motorcycles and was very happy with them. Good quality and better performance. Will use on all of my cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

I purchased this replacement air filter for my 2015 Nissan Frontier. It was a snap to replace the OEM air filter and though I have not noticed a difference yet, I am confident it will improve the engine responsiveness and overall performance of the vehicle. I have changed to K&N on all of my vehicles and motorcycle.

Decided to go with the K&N Oil Filter and could not say anything bad about it! Recommend it to anyone who is doing a full tune-up or just replacing an old oil filter. K&N has one of the best filters you can get your hands on.

I use K&N intakes on all of my vehicles. They work great.

Westville, Indiana
December 25, 2014
This Crossover R-Design is both a dream to drive for my wife and two children AND is a 350 hp monster when I step on the throttle. The K&N air filter is a long term investment which protects my engine as well as just plain delivering a noticeable improvement in acceleration and an enhanced exhaust note upon hitting the gas. Bravo... I'd buy it again.
Chad Nelson
December 24, 2014
This thing is awesome! Worth every penny! It will give you a lot meaner engine sound and a very noticeable increase in throttle response. I love mine! I put it on a 2008 Toyota Tacoma! :)

Perfect fit for my Mikuni VM22 round slide carb that's mounted on my 1992 Club Car golf cart with the Kawasaki FE290 four stroke engine. This filter along with some jetting has picked up the top end performance of my off road golf cart. Thanks K&N for such a great performance air filter for my project.

Every time I get a new car I buy a filter for it. Adds power and gas mileage. Awesome.

Absolutely loving the K&N intake and have already received my fun return on investment 5 fold! I have always had K&N cold air on my daily drivers and track cars for exponential gains in power, performance and efficiency. The clear performance improvements and audible K&N signature is amazing! Typically, the improvement in gas mileage is appreciated, however I've been excessively mashing the gas so I'm probably upside down on my savings after just a month. I'll just chalk that up to another fun tax issued by the beautiful state of California! Thank you for the fantastic product and service I have come to expect.

Before from 0 to 100 km in 17.70 sec, NOW with K&N 0-100 km in 15.89 sec! Taken from my iPhone. It is amazing, some horses power was added. 5 stars.

I like the 1 nut on filter to make removal and installation easier. The more finite filtration compared to original OEM brand filter is also highly desirable. Also the fact that the O-Ring is prelubed and comes in a plastic bag to keep the O-ring wet with oil for prelube advantages.
Thomas Knutson

I recently added a K&N Cold Air Intake and a Magnaflow Cat-Back exhaust to my 2013 Ford F-150 with the 3.7 engine. I'm very happy with the quality of the intake, and the resulting performance increase. The truck was missing some low end performance and had a little hesitation during acceleration. Both those issues have improved substantially.

Love the product and the availability of a metal tube. The only drawback to this model is the plastic crankcase adapters that thread into the tube. They are very weak and in my case broke during the hose installation. Replacements were sent at no charge but a metal version would be way better. Overall, I am satisfied with the product.

Corn-dog muffin recipe???
I missed it...Could someone post it for me... Thanks
Here's what posted on the sack lunch subject
1 Jiffy cornbread mix prepared as directed
hot dogs-quartered
Fill muffin tins half full of cornbread mix.
Put one piece of hot dog in each muffin.
top off with more cornbread batter
bake 10 min at 350.
Another post was similar
2 pkgs of cornbread mix
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 c milk
2 eggs
1 can corn
5 hot dog -chopped
Mix cornbread and brown sugar
Mix eggs and milk and add to dry ingredients
add corn and hot dogs
Batter will be thin
pour into greased muffin tins and bake at 400 for 14-18 min
serve immediately or refrigerate.
Again, you can find these and a link on the sack lunch posting.
I just bought a package of cornbread mix, put about half into a muffin pan, cut up some smokie cocktail franks and put about one and a half worth in each muffin and topped with the rest. Baked per the box. Eh, they were ok. A little too grainy and dry for me so I want to try using regular corn meal and the recipe off the box (scratch is the word I was looking for!!) and try that.

Front or back yard gardner's
Just wondering do you garden more in the frontyard or backyard.
Both right now. But once I get my front gardens established, I most likely will be more in the back. I'm 6oo Ft off the road so either is about the same for me. I think I'll be spending time in both as for relaxation, I've got a nice sized front deck planned and a huge one for the back. Those will be going in this summer. I'm guessing I'll be more likely to experiment in the back and the veggies are going in there this year.
I am a complete newbie - I've been gardening for about a year now. Right now I am focusing on the front yard and giving my fenced in back yard up to my dogs. My front yard has far more diversity as far as sun exposure goes, so I can use a little bit of everything. Once I get the front yard to a point that I'm happy with, I may attempt to tackle the shady, woodland that makes up the back yard... dogs willing.
Always the front, because I want it to look good when I pull in the driveway so the experience carries me into the house.
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials
front yard. It's much better light, more open and most importantly, i don't have to climb a hill! Our back yard is big but narrow and shady for the most part and is situated along a good slope. Since we've about filled the front yard up, we'll be starting on the back soon. We have deer issues in the back and have to address that before we plant in earnest.
We're in a rural neighborhood of acreage, so I don't have to worry as much about curb appeal (200+ ft from road). We are very close to the woods in the backyard and that empty space is taken up with a deck/pool area (husband wanted SOME space! LOL). So, all of my gardening is on the front (south) and east side so far. I was going to work on the west side last fall, but the drought has postponed that plan.
I consider my outer garden (outside the fence) to be an experiment for deer and drought tolerant plants. We've got the NWF certified backyard habitat thing going. I also have a certified Monarch waystation butterfly garden, which also hosted swallowtails last year.
right now i'm mostly gardening in the front. the backyard is HUGE, but i haven't done much yet besides plant some lilies and daffodils. however, this is the year that i'll start in and really accomplish something in the back. i'm planning on a pond, patio (with free pavers that i got off craiglist!), and putting green. and i simply must waterseal my deck.
durham NC
Right now, only the back and sides. The back yard has my 3 koi ponds (soon to be 4 ponds)so that is the main focus. We are still building the house and our temporary mobile home is sitting in the front yard. Once it moves out of the way, I will have a blast doing the front yard.
