Jason Moorman added another line to his title when he took over the men's wrestling program while still leading the nationally know King women's wrestling program. It was a year of change and transition in the men's program while the women repeated as NWCA National Dual champions and WCWA national champions.
On the women's side were again ranked #1 in the WCWA Preseason Coaches' Poll and they stayed there all season long. The Tornado cruised their their second straight NWCA Nataional Dual championship, defeating #2 Oklahoma City 24-17 in the finals. One month later, King again repeated, this time at the WCWA National Championships. King had four individuals take national championships and 13 earned All-American honors whil the Tornado had the team title wrapped up before the championship matches started. The Tornado posted 269 points, obliterating the second place team by 73 points en route to their second straight WCWA national championship.
Since the program's inception in 2009, Moorman had not only laid the foundation for but built King women's wrestling into one of the most recognizable and successful programs in North America and the world. In the past two years, Moorman led the nation's preseason top-ranked team, bringing the program to even higher heights in 2013-14. The Tornado captured their their first WCWA (Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association) national title in 2013-14, including four individual national champions. Just two weeks before their WCWA national title, Moorman led the Tornado to their first NWCA National Duals Championship. Haley Augello, Sarah Hildebrandt, Amanda Hendey and Julia Salata all won individual titles while Marina Doi, Hanna Grisewood and Jessi Kee all taking second.
On the men's side, King earned three wins in dual matches as they faced a tough schedule. Two of those wins came back-to-back at the end of the season, topping Belmont Abbey 34-15 and coming back from 21-6 down to win at Limestone 22-21. At the NCAA Regional, King placed 11th and were led by Landon Reed who finished sixth, leaving him one spot short of advancing to the NCAA National Championships.
In 2014, the Tornado were unstoppable as they were ranked #1 for the second straight year in the preseason poll, and remained their all season long. King won all five of their duals throughout the season, including three straigth victories at the NWCA National Duals Championship to take their the title, their first since the inception of the program in 2009. They defeated defending WCWA national champion Simon Fraser University 21-19 in the finals to take the title. Only two weeks later, King captured yet another national title, the illusive WCWA crown. The Tornado trailed nemesis Oklahoma City University going into the finals, but King came storming back with six women in the finals. Haley Augell, Sarah Hildebrandt and Alli Ragan all captured titles at their respective weight classes before Julia Salata capped the team title with a 5-1 decision over her competitor from Oklahoma City. In all, four Tornado captured individual titles, two finished as runners-up, 14 were named All-Americans and Moorman was named WCWA Coach of the Year.
King was the preseason #1 ranked team in 2013 with hopes of claiming their first national title in their own gym at the WCWA National Championships. However, King came up just short, finishing in third place. The Tornado had a school record 14 individuals earn All-American status while Alli Ragan and Kat Perez both won individual national titles. King also earned the WCWA Team Scholastic award for the second straight year and Victoria Nguyen was named the 2013 Scholar Athlete.
In 2012 Moorman and the Tornado reached new heights of success after much of the previous year's roster returned and a few new faces help guide the team to its highest WCWA ranking in its history, topping out at No. 2 overall. King hosted the 2011 WCWA National Championships and gave the hometown crowd a finish to cheer for as they watched Emily Martin (109 lb.) and newcomer Krista Revelle (136 lb.) win national championships in their respective weight classes while two more were crowned runners-up. The Tornado finished second overall as a team, their highest finish at Nationals ever.
Moorman watched as senior Emily Martin was awarded the 2011 WCWA Wrestler of the Year honor, the highest accolade in women's collegiate wrestling. Thirteen of his wrestlers were named WCWA All-Americans following the National Championship, one was named to the WCWA Scholar-Athlete Team, and King was recognized with a WCWA Team Scholastic Award.
The team's successes continued to pour in after the 2011 collegiate season as six qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials, held in Iowa City, Iowa. Three were named to the World Junior team to represent the United States after taking first place at the Body Bar National Championships. Three more were named to the U.S. Junior Pan-Am team where two took home a gold medal at the games held in Guatemala in June 2012.
In just its first season of existence, King made a statement by finishing 10th at the 2009 WCWA National Championships and had three team members named All-Americans under Moorman. In 2010, he helped train the College's first-ever national champion in Marina Lambert (197 lb.). Under his guidance, Lambert did not surrender a single point in her undefeated, championship-winning season and th Tornado finished fourth at the 2010 WCWA National Championships. He also helped train Alli Ragan toward a Body Bar National Tournament victory to secure her spot on the United States Junior World Team and earn the College's first World medal, earning the bronze at 63 kg (139 lb.).
Moorman joined the King Men's Wrestling staff as an assistant coach in 2007. Moorman joined his younger brother, Nate, who had been named to head the new program the in 2006. After just two years at King, Moorman helped the program meet early success coaching four All-Americans including one national finalist at the NAIA National Championships. The Tornado reached a team ranking as high as 13th in the country and finished in the top-10 academically.
He began his coaching career establishing a program at Union County High School (Maynardville, Tenn.) in 2000. In a short time, Moorman was able to coach two Tennessee state champions, one finalist and two additional state medalists.
After coaching at Union County, Moorman moved on and took the reigns as head coach at Farragut High School (Knoxville, Tenn). Though Moorman spent only one season there before making the transition to coaching at the college level, he was able to leave a mark coaching three state medalists in 2007.
Moorman made his transition to the collegiate ranks by becoming an assistant coach at his alma mater, Carson-Newman College for two seasons. While with the Eagles he focused on C-N's recruitment efforts.
A graduate of Carson-Newman, he has spent time over the last 11 years as a technician and counselor for prominent college and national camps. He resides with his wife Amanda and daughters Blakley (4) and their most recent addition Mackenzie Jo in Chuckey, Tenn.

Being in health care, we are finding it difficult to adequately determine the number of staff needed at any given time. We need to develop a forecast for staffing ratios for our busiest shifts. What sort of data should we be examining to accurately predict dynamic demand?
— Guesstimates Won't Work, training and appraisal assistant, health care, Beirut
What is the protocol when our executive team requests salaried employees to perform work outside their job description? It is a situation that has occurred before, resulting in some salaried workers having to work weekends/off days to keep up with their regularly described duties. Job duties of a salaried employee often are fluid, but would it be better for us simply to abandon job descriptions? I wonder about things like employee burnout, turnover, stress levels and engagement.

In the last issue, I suggested that a key to our success in the forthcoming recovery is making intelligent use of our mistakes. I have been thinking about the errors of our collective ways, industrywide, and what we should learn from them.
I kept coming back to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, The Emperor's New Clothes. The story is about a vain emperor who is obsessed with his appearance and attire, and hires two tailors who are really swindlers that promise him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or is "just hopelessly stupid."
The emperor cannot see the cloth, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing unfit for his position, and all of his ministers and courtiers do the same. When the suit is finished, the swindlers mime dressing him, and the emperor marches before his subjects, who play along with the pretense.
Suddenly, a child who is too young to understand the pretense blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. Others take up the cry. The emperor cringes, suspecting the assertion is true, but holds himself up proudly and continues the procession, deciding never to be so vain again.
Well, the naked truth is that our industry was just like the emperor, and we all played along with the pretense of our industry being "dressed up" with record volumes and profits, driven by an unsustainable housing and construction boom.
And we should have known better.
Now the worst is behind us. Most in the industry feel that the last few months have finally pointed to an improving construction materials industry. Our clients tell us the same.
Learning by our mistakes So what have we learned? Here are three key mistakes the industry is guilty of, and hopefully won't repeat:
So in this recession, who were most like the "child in the crowd?" They were the producers who deleveraged, paid down debt, hoarded cash, or even sold their companies at the top of the market. For those who hung in there and slugged it out, success will be measured by the intelligent use of their mistakes.

Rafael Nadal was spotted with some new Nike Air Courtballistecs for this weekend's big Davis Cup final.
Do you LOVE?
[Photo(s): DavisCup]
Labels: Davis Cup, Nike, Rafael Nadal, sneakers, tennis
What is it with Rafa and these loud colours. Pink shirt, plaid shorts, and now these shoes. Is he trying to go to a next career, i.e. joining Ringling & Bros. Enough already. Plus the shoes are just plain ugly. A bit like those Oudin Believe.ReplyDelete
I'm all for Rafa in loud colours and checked shorts, he looks great in it! However, these shoes are ugly, mainly because the colours are dirty, me thinks.
Shame the photo doesn't show a bit more leg... ;)
I'm loving this new McDonalds
special edition Courtballistecs!
YES more leg is always required.
LOL@McDonalds! So true.
Love that bright yellow, but not on shoes.
But you know what? I would have worn those when I was in my twenties. :D
Just focus on the face, body and racquet. That's what I told the boys when I was in my twenties, natch. lolReplyDelete
And here I thought you would have been all about your *racquet*, Richie. *coughs*
Pretty advanced in your twenties, weren't you? ;)
Yes, precocious comes to mind. And a few other things, but that works.ReplyDelete
Those are the colours of the Spanish flag. Obviously it's for the Davis Cup. So nothing to fret about. ;)ReplyDelete
Impressive how quickly Spain has become a perennial Davis Cup power. Through most of the competition's history, Spain was not a factor.
epic fail...ReplyDelete

I am actually looking into Masters programs in this field. It is a HORRENDOUSLY easy Masters Degree, can be done online (I don't care at all if that looks "bad" on paper, it's fucking a Masters in Librarian Science, it ALREADY looks bad) and it's a decent retirement job at a towns local one given it's salary and no work. The BEST part of this job though is how LITTLE accountability you have. No test scores, no grading etc. Sweet gig all around.
So, tell me, can any of you find a teaching position with less accountability than a Librarian?

SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (WUSA) -- Police are looking for 28-year-old Taurian Devon Miller of Prince George's County, Maryland after he allegedly stole several cars, and a credit card in multiple jurisdictions, including Spotyslvania County, Va. Fredericksburg, Stafford County, Fairfax County and Prince George's County Md.
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office was investigating a stolen truck from the Residence Inn - Marriott behind the Spotsylvania Towne Center and a U-Haul trailer loaded with an All Terrain Vehicle from the Comfort Inn in the Massaponax area. They identified Miller as a suspect after the victim's credit card was used in Seat Pleasant, Md.
Spotsylvania County authorities started working with other jurisdictions and obtained warrants for Miller. A search of Miller's home revealed evidence linking Miller to car thefts dating back to at least 2009, say police. Miller may face more charges after the investigation is completed.
In the meantime, authorities are looking for Miller. If you know where he is located, please call 540-582-7115 or Crime Solvers at 1-800-928-5822.

What are the most inappropriate iOS, Android apps of 2012?
Even though it's been a few years since Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) phased out its once-ubiquitous catchphrase "There's an app for that," the sentiment is more accurate today than ever before. With roughly 700,000 applications optimized for the iOS platform in Apple's App Store and another 700,000 for Android in the rival Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Play, the mobile ecosystem has grown to the stage where there are apps for every conceivable situation, interest and idiosyncrasy.
That's not necessarily a good thing.
Sure, the breadth and diversity of the mobile software segment is a cornerstone of its consumer appeal--app developers never stop challenging the notion of what smartphones and tablets can do, and every month, FierceMobileContent celebrates their achievements by spotlighting the latest and greatest apps to hit the market. But a few developers push way too far, shattering the boundaries of good sense, good taste and good behavior. No one asked for these apps and no one needs these apps, but they exist anyway.
Click below for the most inappropriate iOS and Android applications of 2012. "There's an app for that?" you'll ask in horror. Don't blame me: I didn't make 'em. I just write about 'em.--Jason

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vivian Campbell says his fellow members of Def Leppard helped him get through his battle against cancer.
The guitarist says he leaned on group members to help him perform as he worked his way through a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma — and the chemotherapy he had to take to help him recover.
Campbell started treatment in April — but was able to go along with the band for a monthlong tour that wrapped up in July — slipping in chemo treatments between show dates.
Campbell says being with the group "was a big part" of his mental recovery from the disease. He says it gave him the chance to "work through it instead of staying at home and feeling sorry for himself."

Every once in a blue moon, a project surprises you by progressing more quickly than anticipated and this Counter Culture's carbon neutrality is a great example of that variety of rare surprise: I'm thrilled to announce that it we reached our five-year goal in only two years and achieved carbon neutrality at the end of 2011 by offsetting our 576-tonne greenhouse gas footprint through tree-planting and fuel-efficient stove construction in Central America.
Let's take a step back to the measurement, though, shall we? We arrived at that 576-tonnes-of-greenhouse-gas figure with the help of Vancouver-based Climate Smart, a foot printing organization that takes a unique approach to auditing by empowering businesses to measure themselves. I spent the first half of 2010 working closely with Climate Smart and collecting data from different areas of our business to understand the whole picture of our emissions, from the large impact of long-distance employee commutes around our NC headquarters to the even larger impact of our international and domestic air travel. Needless to say, we have many opportunities for improvement!
Having established a baseline, we turned our attention to potential areas of reduction, which is daunting in any circumstances and particularly challenging during a period of growth. As we neared the end of 2011, we realized that we hadn't made progress in energy reduction anywhere (with the notable exception of our Atlanta Training Center, where Ben Helfen successfully halved our office's energy bills over the prior year by powering down machines, turning off lights when they weren't in use, and actively managing the thermostat!).
We started reaching out to providers of offsets and reconnected with Trees, Water and People (TWP), which manages offset projects ranging from tree-planting and stove construction in Central America and Haiti to wind power in the American west. TWP was incredibly generous with their time and expertise when I was working on Finca Mauritania's carbon footprint. They distinguished themselves from other offset providers by offering to implement a project building fuel-efficient stoves with a cooperative that Counter Culture works with in Marcala, Honduras. The COMSA cooperative is excited by the project, and I am practically giddy to think that we can integrate coffee-buying and carbon-offset-buying.
The next few months will see us collecting greenhouse gas data for the 2011 calendar year and reporting it in our annual Sustainability Scorecard, as well as continuing to deepen our relationship with TWP. I'm heading to Marcala in February, and I can't wait to see how the project is going and learn about stove-building from the experts.

|School standards reports highlight Re-1J agenda
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
"Standards" was the buzz word that kicked off the Nov. 16 meeting of Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education.
From the Standard of Excellence Committee report by teacher Andrea Kammer to information on the transition to standards-based report cards by teachers Lynn Schneider and Laura Loutensock, the focus on quality education in Holyoke was apparent.
Kammer reported the district Standard of Excellence Committee meets monthly. They've looked at Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) data and have started reviewing 2010 achievement results.
Surveys and studies have been targeted, and Supt. Bret Miles noted appreciation for this group, because the target for performance excellence is such a long one.
Kammer noted the seven areas the group is studying in the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence Framework.
They've read through the leadership criteria and will start on strategic planning. The remaining five areas include customer focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus; process management; and results.
Miles noted the Baldrige Award originally recognized excellence in business. Over the years, it evolved to the nonprofit sector and now to the education sector. It still follows the business model, he pointed out.
The Baldrige Criteria for Performing Excellence provide a systems perspective for understanding performance management. They reflect validated, leading-edge management practices against which an organization can measure itself.
With their acceptance nationally and internationally as the model for performance excellence, the criteria represent a common language for communication among organizations for sharing best practices.
The criteria are also the basis for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award process.
Elementary grades transition to standards-based reports
Third grade teacher Lynn Schneider reported the first and second grades came up with a standards-based report card to use throughout the year last year.
The goal was for third grade to implement the standards-based card this fall, as that's what parents are now used to seeing. The reporting method was tweaked this summer and fall, based on input from parents.
While the format is very similar to the first and second grade reports, Schneider said the main changes were made in the criteria listed for assessing reading, language arts and math.
She pointed out vocabulary is a big focus in third grade, the language arts focus is on writing and multiplication was added to the math criteria.
Additionally, there's a behavior assessment on the cards which adds to the student report.
Schneider said the report card has been easy to use, especially with the writing assessments. The only disadvantage is they're not able to use GoEduStar, the student information system. Consequently, grades have to be entered by hand, and parents can't get online to see progress.
It was noted from the previous board meeting on Nov. 2 the district technology committee's survey showed support for a new student management system.
Schneider cited a key advantage to the standards-based report card. For instance, if a third grade student is doing fourth grade math or second grade reading, the report card reflects skill progression from where the student is.
Fourth grade teacher Laura Loutensock said the fourth grade teaching staff definitely buys into the standards-based report card. Rather than implementing it this year, they're working to prepare it so it will be ready in the fall.
Elementary principal Kyle Stumpf pointed out the goal is to do both traditional and standards-based report cards in fourth grade for the last quarter of the 2010-11 school year. This will give the opportunity to get feedback from parents.
October student count certified at 567.5
The Holyoke School District student count for 2010-11 was certified at 567.5 as a result of the October count. The averaged pupil count for funding purposes is 578, reported Supt. Miles.
He added the budget was built on 580, and two students will not hurt the budget.
Additionally, Miles said in June the district was looking at a Per-Pupil Operating Revenue (PPOR) of $7,168. That's now looking to be more like $7,300, but the numbers could still change before the end of the calendar year.
Supt. Miles noted the district also enrolled seven new students within three days after the October count day. No funding will be received for those students this year. However, Miles noted other students were counted here and then left the district.
Some alternatives for student count are being considered, and they appear to be scary, said Miles. Alternatives include going to a fall and spring count, averaging daily membership in a week and average daily attendance.
In a full report to the board on the 2010-11 pupil count, Miles summarized the numbers. He noted there are fewer students (down 17 actual students), but no change to the budget due to averaging.
Miles also noted the district continues to become more diverse and continues to have more students eligible for free/reduced lunch.
Implications cite diversity brings more challenges, one of which is home language. Additionally, economically disadvantaged students tend to require more support in reading and basic skills.
Further, all students are expected to meet the standards, and students need different support to get there.
Policies reviewed
Continuing their review of board policies, the school board looked at those in Section I on instruction, K on school/community/home relations and L on education agency relations.
Policies will be further reviewed in December, with proposals to return in the spring. The board anticipates and desires public input on the policies on school calendar/school year and teaching about controversial issues.
Supt. Miles noted further time will be spent on the post-secondary enrollment policy and any others the board would like to spend more time on.
Other business
In other business at the Nov. 16 meeting, the Re-1J board:
—rescheduled the Dec. 7 board meeting to Tuesday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m.
—approved five nonresident students including Garrett Bueltell from the Wray school district and LaKyla Moore, Olivia Floripe, Isavell Floripe and Jake Floripe from the Julesburg district.
—reviewed a request from Phillips County commissioners for support of local administration of Colorado's social services system. The board expressed interest in receiving more information when the time comes.

I can't wait to try this. I have PILES of papers for both of my girls. I plan on getting supplies today. Thanks for sharing!

Great idea! I also scan some of the items as well as take photos of some of the bulkier things and print them out in our annual family album. That way, I can size them down and print 4-10 treasured art pieces per page. I try and keep at least one hand print or other size specific items in the actual original state each year. But worksheets, coloring pages, etc. are beautiful no matter what size. :)

Great job! :) Pinterest is awesome, isn't it? Just the other day, I showed my husband an activity that I made for my little man. He said did you think of that- and I said- No, I don't need to think up everything anymore, I have Pinterest! Lol I still like to challenge myself to be creative especially so I can create "new" ideas, but how great to have so many wonderful resources right at our fingertips.

Great idea! I need to clear some space in our filing cabinet for that!

Is this a regular size file box or is it larger? It looks a bit larger int he photo but I can't tell.

- pink and green mama MaryLea said...
I believe the file box is one that can be used with regular files or legal files if you turn it sideways -- it's whatever size was at Target. Hope this helps! : )

Great idea! I have a similar system but with an even lazier (i mean convenient) twist. During the school year, I have 2 clear wall folders mounted in my basement (on my storage side) The papers go into the folders & then are sorted at the end of year!

while I'm not super-familiar with ascension's style, I believe someone in the tutorial forum has done an updated tutorial for photoshop users who want to use cs6 for the style:
Hey there.
I've recently registered just to comment on Ascension's atlas styled tutorial features on the website and provide with some technical difficulties solutions. However when doing the tutorial itself I managed to get as far as the 20th or so step before things begun going awry.
So first off I am using Windows 7 64b and Adobe Photoshop CS6, I've got my technical issues solved to get to step 20 of this tutorial. Now, I believe that at the time of writing this tutorial Ascension did not use CS6. So a lot of the technology changed. My main concern here is that I believe I have to apply certain changes to the layer blending mode on the base layer, though I could not find anything to state anything specific on the tutorial.
So here is a screenshot of what I got at.. uh.. end of step 21. Which is not at all like what shown on the tutorial itself- namely that the gradient is not showing the detail on the lower layers, even when set to Hard Light.
I'm really not sure what I am doing wrong. As well that while I have some experience editing images on Photoshop, I am no wizard!
I would appreciate if anyone could perhaps help me with a simple walk-through or solution to this issue, if they are working on CS6 too and have attempted to do this.
OR if they can direct me to other tutorials that could guide me into a similar solution. - I am trying to create a world map for a tabletop pathfinder campaign for myself and friends.
Thanks for your time reading this.

3 Things You Need to Know Before Registering
Wouldn't it be great to have a place where you could receive all of your financial aid and student account information and alerts? A place where you can find out what's going on around campus? A place that would inform you of parking and traffic notices so you aren't late to class? There is - your LCC student e-mail account! Your student e-mail account is a gateway to all the information you need to have a successful experience at LCC.
Whether you are a new student, a returning student or even a guest from another university, it is imperative that you get in the habit of checking your LCC student e-mail account regularly. There you will receive information such as:
- Alerts when a new bill has been posted to your student account
- Financial aid account information
- Campus closures
- Student policy changes
- Changes to the academic calendar
- Information on campus/community events
- Information from your program of study
- Traffic/parking notices
- Bi-weekly student e-newsletter
Log into your Student E-mail Account
If you are unfamiliar with your LCC student e-mail account, visit www.lcc.edu/helpdesk/student_email/ for a step-by-step guide to getting started.
All LCC students are required to:
- Pay tuition and fees in full, or
- Sign up for the FACTS Installment Payment Plan, or
- Sign up for the FACTS Pending Aid Payment Plan (available to financial aid recipients), or
- Submit Third Party Authorization (If an employer, high school or agency is sponsoring a student's education. This does not include financial aid.)
Students who do not complete one of the above options by their payment due date will be dropped from classes for non-payment. Payment due dates are based upon the day a student registers. Payments are due by the due date listed on the student bill. Student bills will be available to view in Banner Student Self Service. Each time a new bill is generated, students will be notified through their LCC Student E-mail account.
About the FACTS Payment Plan
The FACTS monthly payment plan helps students manage their educational expenses. This is not a loan program. Students have no accumulated debt, no interest or finance charges are assessed, and no credit check is required. The cost to participate in the payment plan is $25 per semester, (plus a credit card convenience charge if you use a credit card).
Students choosing to participate in the plan pay for tuition and fees by authorizing either a monthly automatic bank deduction or monthly credit/debit card payment (MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). Once the plan is activated, FACTS will automatically withdraw a payment on the fifth of each month from the designated account or credit card. Any required down payments are withdrawn immediately from the specified account.
For more information, visit: www.lcc.edu/studentfinance/payment_options.aspx
A safer way to receive your refunds.
LCC is partnering with Higher One to offer students a faster and more secure way to receive financial aid and other LCC refunds.
The debit card is provided automatically to most LCC students in partnership with Higher One, a financial services company focused solely on bringing college students a new method for receiving refunds. The Lansing CC Debit Card is a student's key to choosing how any LCC refunds are to be received.
New students should receive their Lansing CC Debit Card in the mail within 1 - 2 weeks after registering for classes. After receiving the card, students must activate their refund preference. (Do not throw this card away! Activating your refund preference as soon as the card arrives will help ensure that any refunds due to you will be issued in a timely manner.) During the refund activation process, students will visit www.lansingccdebitcard.com and choose one of the following options for receiving their refund money:
Direct deposit to a Higher One checking account.
TThe Lansing CC Debit Card comes with the option to open the OneAccount, a free debit checking account provided to students through Higher One. Choosing Easy Refund into the OneAccount is the fastest option to receiving your refund (about one business day after the refund is posted to the student's account).
Deposit to another bank of the student's choice
via ACH transfer. This option will result in a refund approximately 2 - 3 business days after the refund is posted to the student's account.
(Please note: If a student does not select one of these options, refunds will be issued in the form of a paper check mailed to the student. The check will be mailed 21 days after the refund is posted to the student's account.)
For more information on the Lansing CC Debit Card refund program, please visit www.lcc.edu/studentfinance/lansingccdebitcard.

The Broward County Commission has approved a new map with new boundaries for the nine Commission districts. There will be one more public hearing before they are made official.
The Commission is required by the County Charter, to redraw the election district map every 10 years to keep the population distribution in each district approximately equal. The difference between the largest and smallest must be no more than 10 percent.
So which district are you in? If you were in District 3, the area I am proud to represent, there were a few boundary changes.
District 3 is now:
Although the City of North Lauderdale is new to District 3, it is not new to me as I represented it during my years as a State Representative. I'm looking forward to representing them again.
No parts of the City of Sunrise are located in the new District 3.
The new district map will be in effect for the upcoming November 2012 general election.
More details about the new map are available.
Please be sure to forward a copy of this newsletter to your neighbors so they can keep up-to-date with District 3 news. They can sign up for their own copy at the District 3 website or by calling our office at 954-357-7003.
Broward County and 18 cities including Coral Springs and Sunrise, have partnered to help you save money and conserve water. You can get a rebate of up to $100 per toilet if you replace your old, water guzzling models with new, high-efficiency toilets. The Broward Water Partnership is offering rebates to qualified homeowners now through October 2012. To determine your eligibility, visit ConservationPays.com, or call 1-800-270-9794. If you live in Tamarac, the City is offering similar rebates.
South Florida homeowners now may have a stronger case against manufacturers of Chinese Drywall after a nearly $1 billion settlement was reached in December with one of the largest makers of the building material. Thousands of homeowners have complained that drywall from China made their homes unlivable with foul odors and pipes and wiring corroding.
The settlement affects homes along the Gulf Coast that were rebuilt with Chinese drywall after Hurricane Katrina.
I will keep you posted with details if something is announced affecting your homes here in Broward.
There are 2 Broward County Libraries located within District 3. Here are the locations and the updated library hours:
Northwest Regional Library3151 University Drive Bus Routes: 2, 34, University Breeze954-341-3900Mon - Wed: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.Thurs - Sun: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Hello together from Germany,
currently I'm searching a software/server solution that collects all my e-Mails from different Accounts (freemail-services, googlemail, yahoomail, mobileMe, some imap- and pop3-accounts) and gives me the possibillity to use ONE solution for my Windows and for my Mac-PCs to have the SAME e-Mails on every pc.
After I read some docs and websites, I think Zimbra would fit my needs. The problem now is that i never used or administrated a mail-Server.
Is it possible to run Zimbra OpenSource-Edition on a virtual machine (parallels desktop 3 on my mac mini) for Home-Use only? Zimbra should not replace an existing mail-server, just collect my e-Mails and provide a central solution to get e-Mails and reply them.
I hope you understood the problem with my bad english-description.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts and answers.
Greetings from Germany

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Associated Press has learned that suicides in the U.S. military surged to a record 349 last year.
That far exceeds the 295 American combat deaths in Afghanistan in 2012 and compares with 301 military suicides in 2011.
Some private experts predict that the trend will worsen this year.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and others have called military suicides an epidemic.
The Army had the highest number of suicides among active-duty troops last year at 182, but the Marine Corps had the largest percentage increase -- up 50 percent to 48.
The Air Force recorded 59 suicides and the Navy had 60.

ATLANTA -- A key to saving money on your 2012 Income Tax is taking advantage of all the available tax deductions.
You have until December 31 to do just that.
As you go through your tax records, there are key deductions you should be thinking about over the next four days.
RELATED | Last minute tax deduction resource page
If you are one of more than 220,000 people in Metro Atlanta on unemployment but looking for work in the same occupation you are in now, keep those receipts.
You can deduct your expenses looking for that job.
That can include preparing resumes, driving to and from interviews and phone charges.
And if you have a mortgage or pay real estate taxes, make your first payment for next year before Monday and take a deduction for the amount of interest you have paid.
Atlanta homeowner Jerry Williams did just that.
"You have got to make it anyway, so why not instead of making it on January 1 or 2, why not make it on December 30 or 31, and then you get the extra interest for the year," Williams said.
And as you think year-end, think charitable donations.
You can give away just about anything to reputable non-profits like Goodwill or the Salvation Army, but there is a catch -- keep those receipts.
Regina Story keeps a meticulous record all year long.
"I keep all my receipts and then I have a spreadsheet file that I have with a column for each type of expense item. They include health, client development, and work travel. I work from home so a percentage of all my utility bills and that sort of thing gets deducted," she said.
And if you are thinking about giving gifts, you can give away up to $13,000 tax free before the Monday deadline.

Documentation says that "MTA Auth host" must be one of the mailbox servers.
There are different answers in documentation, forum and wiki but no one clear for me.
- If I have different mail-store that use the same MTA, which one I must I insert in "MTA Auth host"?
- Why I must insert a mail-store and not a ldap server?
Thank you.

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal won his second-round match
Friday at the French Open, but for the second time this week had to rally from
a set down to do it.
Meanwhile, Roger Federer had no trouble in his third consecutive straight-set
Nadal, forced to wait an extra day to play his second-round match because of
rain on Thursday, dropped the opening set Friday against Slovakia's Martin
Klizan, then stormed back to claim a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 triumph. The script
was similar for Nadal in the first round, as the seven-time French champ also
lost the first set against Daniel Brands before winning the next three.
Nadal, trying for a fourth straight title at Roland Garros and eighth in the
past nine years, will meet Italy's Fabio Fognini in round three. The Spanish
superstar is seeded third this year despite a season in which he has reached
the final in each of the eight tournaments he has played -- winning six --
since coming back from a seven-month layoff caused by a knee injury.
Federer, stunningly, has yet to win a tournament of any kind in 2013. He lost
to Nadal in the Rome final earlier this month, but appears to be in fine form
on the red clay and finished his stellar first week in Paris with a 6-3, 6-4,
7-5 win over Frenchman Julien Benneteau.
The 2009 French champ eased past a pair of qualifiers in the first two rounds
and figured to have a test in Benneteau, who beat Federer in the Rotterdam
quarterfinals earlier this year.
Benneteau broke Federer early in the first set Friday, but the 17-time Grand
Slam champ returned the favor soon after. The Swiss icon was not broken again
and converted each of his four break-point chances in the match, including at
love for 6-5 in the third set. He then held at love to finish the match.
Another Frenchman could await Federer in the fourth round, as he will take on
the winner between Gilles Simon and American Sam Querrey.
Fourth-seeded David Ferrer also cruised into the fourth round with a 6-1, 7-5,
6-4 thumping of fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez. He'll next meet the winner
between Canadian Milos Raonic and South Africa's Kevin Anderson.
Other second-round winners Friday included American John Isner, Serbia's Janko
Tipsarevic and Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka.
The 19th-seeded Isner rallied from two sets down for the first time in his
career, capturing a 5-7, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, 6-1, 8-6 victory over countrymate
Ryan Harrison, while the eighth-seeded Tipsarevic also went the distance
against Spain's Fernando Verdasco, pulling out a 7-6 (7-3), 6-1, 3-6, 5-7, 8-6
triumph. The ninth-seeded Wawrinka was already in the third set of his match
against Argentina's Horacio Zeballos when darkness halted play Thursday and
needed only a few minutes Friday to complete a 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 win.
Frenchman Richard Gasquet, Tommy Haas of Germany and Russian veteran Nikolay
Davydenko were other second-round winners Friday. The seventh-seeded Gasquet
trampled Poland's Michal Przysiezny, 6-3, 6-3, 6-0, while the 12th-seeded Haas
knocked out American Jack Sock in straight sets and the unseeded Davydenko
eliminated Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in three. Jerzy Janowicz of Poland and
Russian Mikhail Youzhny each advanced in four sets.

Would like to know if it is a totally absurd exercice to try and go through the following steps:
1. install a build environment for Zimbra-J2ME-client
2. use the phone to recognise your settings. This can be done with the application available from the website of J2MEPolish edition. This will upload the features of your phone to their website.
3. recompile everything with the makefiles set for your device. If you take a device, which is not too different from the ones currently available there should not be an enormous problem.
4. upload to your device and obviously test. Myself I have got Nokia E71, E61 should be similar and is available.
Or maybe I am just dreaming and missing something,
there must be a way of compiling for more than a handfull of devices.

Dr. Lewis received his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University and Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Cincinnati. After completing a specialized residency in hospital pharmacy administration at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals he returned to his home state of Ohio to assume the role of Clinical Coordinator at Timken Mercy Medical Center in Canton, and subsequently the Manager of Clinical Pharmacy Services at Summa Health System in Akron. While in these roles, Dr. Lewis was responsible for developing and maintaining many of the systems and processes that affect quality institutional drug use (e.g. formulary management, hospital staff education, Continuous Quality Improvement efforts related to safe medication use). Through this work he developed a special interest and expertise in medication error reduction strategies.
After several years in clinical pharmacy management, he turned his attention to the ambulatory arena, including home care, and progressive community pharmacy services with Ritzman Pharmacies of northeast Ohio. During this period of time he also built upon his interest in worship, earning a Master of Arts in Christian Ministries from Malone College in Canton, Ohio.
In October of 2000, he accepted an invitation to join medical information publisher Lexi-Comp, Inc. (Hudson, Ohio) as a pharmacotherapy specialist with primary responsibility for developing and maintaining the organization's envisioned drug interactions database (Lexi-Interact™ was quickly recognized as an industry standard by healthcare leaders across the nation), and concluded his tenure there as Director of Product Development. In 2007 he completed a course fellowship in medical informatics sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Maryland.
Prior to joining the faculty of Cedarville University in 2009 as Assistant Dean of the School of Pharmacy, Dr. Lewis worked with The University of Findlay College of Pharmacy and Giant Eagle Pharmacy to develop a unique, clinical training for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences. Additionally, Dr. Lewis possesses over 20 years of pharmacy experience, and has authored numerous publications and professional presentations in addition to editing hundreds of published drug monographs. He also brings more than 15 years of clinical faculty and teaching experience with The University of Cincinnati, Virginia Commonwealth University, The University of Toledo, Ohio Northern University and The University of Findlay.
As Associate Dean of the School of Pharmacy, Dr. Lewis oversees many of the administrative services of the School, and is chiefly responsible for student and professional affairs.

A gold seal flight instructor and former freight dog shares flying tips & techniques with an occasional bit of humor.
Thursday, November 22, 2007
I often say to disappointed pilots who've just had to cancel a flight that, given all the ingredients required to get airborne (airworthy aircraft, current and legal pilot, instructor, adequate weather, no temporary flight restrictions, etc.), it's amazing that anyone ever is able to takeoff, let alone actually learn how to fly. Just when I think I've seen every possible eventuality that can cause a flight to be cancelled, something new crops up.
Like many others, I found myself scratching my head after reading Ron's excellent post about Precision Airmotive's decision to stop the shipment and production of aircraft carburetor parts due to their inability to get liability insurance. Only a few days later did I learn that an aircraft that I fly regularly had been affected by this issue. During an annual inspection, one carburetor was deemed to be in need of rebuilding, it was removed, and was sent out for repair. A few days later, the carburetor shop sent word that they were having difficulty locating a carburetor float. As of this writing the issue still hasn't been resolved, though apparently another company has announced they are buying Precision Airmotive's operation, moving it to the East Coast, and they plan to resume shipments by the beginning of 2008.
I'm usually not interested whining about our legal system, but I find myself compelled to do exactly that: Whine. Consider just one example: The case of Senator Mel Carnahan, his son, and an aide, who were all killed several years ago in the crash of a light twin engine aircraft during a night flight in instrument meteorological conditions. The facts of the crash are that Carnahan's son, the pilot-in-command, reported that the primary gyro-driven attitude indicator failed, He was able to maintain control for several minutes while attempting to find an airport at which to land. But as in many cases when gyro instruments fail and the pilot(s) are unable to get into visual conditions, Randy Carnahan apparently became disoriented, lost control, and the aircraft crashed.
After the crash, a civil lawsuit was filed against several companies involved in the manufacture of the aircraft and its components, including the company who made the engine-driven vacuum pump. Even though the NTSB report concluded the primary cause of the accident was pilot disorientation, that didn't stop the lawsuit. In the end, a fair amount of money changed hands, though the large punitive damages requested were not awarded by the jury.
While the loss of Senator Carnhan, his son, and the aide was tragic, it must be noted that what the PIC chose to do that night was inherently risky - a night IFR flight, in instrument conditions, in some pretty nasty weather. Some might argue that when they assumed the risk of that flight, their decision affected all pilots who rely on the supply of light aircraft and their component parts. It's pretty clear that if some manufacturers cannot limit their liability, they may very well choose to go out of business. In the end, all of general aviation may suffer from the individual choices of just a few pilots.
And so I had to cringe when I saw this notice on an aircraft cover. Are we pilots really so stupid and dimwitted that we need such placards? Apparently some might argue that we are.

Coincidentally, 11/23's ePilot had a story about Precision Airmotive, presumably finding a suitable business partner.

delighted to see you back, John. I was just wondering a day or so ago if I had accidentally deleted your RSS feed. Sad about the subject, though, although it needs to be addressed.
In reverse order, I guess it is good that the windshield cover didn't have to carry the warning "Remove Before Flight" ... in a desperate attempt to justify what is undoubtedly just stupidity I suppose a well meaning but hard of thinking pilot might start the engine, let it idle to warm up and then try to remove the cover, perhaps enabling tie downs with the spinning prop ... hey, stop making excuses, Dave, it's just stupid.
More than a year ago I opted out of my "brick and mortar" non-aviation business because of the liability issue. I was selling a little "black box" GPS tracker that went under the dask or in the glove box of a car or truck. The only installation technicality was a requirement for a connection to ground and battery voltage and a silver-dollar sized antenna that mounted inside the windshield on double-stick tape. No can do on liability insurance. If I hire an already insured commercial installer? Oh, ok, yep can do ... except, mounting something on the windshield? No, might cause an accident ... no can do.
This device would be outstanding for rental and instructional aircraft ops as well, but even I wasn't so dumb as to try to work aviation permissions and approvals.
No wonder the dollar is at an all time low and the Wall Street Journal now publishes in Chinese. We Americans can't seem to accept responsibility for _anything_ *sigh*
Anyway, rant switch off and happy landings, guy.

There are so many dumb placards out there that I almost don't even notice them anymore. The classic example is the Superman cape which comes with a disclaimer saying "Warning: cape does not enable user to fly".
Even on airplanes, which by their very nature are ostensibly operated by people with a little more common sense, the placards sometimes approach a level of absurdity which cannot be described. One airplane actually had a placard which proclaimed in a scholarly tone that the engine would not operate without fuel. Chalk up another advantage for the old Stearmans and other warbirds. No idiotic placards lowering the IQ of anyone sitting in the plane.
Dave is right, we can't seem to accept responsibility for anything. No matter what happens, it's always someone else's fault. I recall walking along a famous path between five towns known as Cinque Terre on the Italian coast. The path is narrow, uneven, and drops directly into the ocean 500 feet below. There were no handrails, disclaimers, or lifeguards. It was simply up to the user to determine if it was safe enough to traverse.
I found that refreshing.

That "remove before starting" thing would bother me. There have been times when I've needed to start the engine and run it for a few minutes but I'm not going anywhere, and I've just unzipped the door zip and gotten in without removing the cabin cover. I suppose with your cabin cover I'd be in violation of some regulation?
Speaking of stupid legal disclaimers: Sporty's sells coasters made from old sectional and terminal area charts. Each one has written across the bottom "NOT FOR NAVIGATION". I'd sure love to try to fly around New York City class B with just a coaster or two as my navigation source.

Our promotions department makes a big poster with instructions to cut out and place over your [aircraft] dash in order to visualize the fancy new things we sell. It even says to us a "non-abrasive adhesive." I don't even know what that means. However, when I, a lowly engineer, joked, "Where's the 'Remove before flight label'?" Nobody else laughed. In fact, they have taken these posters out of circulation to be destroyed.
We also get sued all the time. It seems the manufacturers for every component in an aircraft that is involved in an accident get sued. The odds are high that one or more of them will settle and the lawyers (and maybe the family) will get some money.
I read an accident report for a highly publicized accident where a pilot crashed into a Kentucky Fried Chicken hurting a lot of people. The accident report seemed to point to the fact that the pilot had unauthorized medication in his system that he did not list on his medical. The report indicates he had been perscribed the medication in inordinate amounts for a number of years. The accident report seemed to indicate this was the most prominent contributor to the crash. Somehow, we were still sued in relation to this accident. What's up with that?
One of our engineers said, "There was a time when it was generally accepted that flying an airplane was going to get you killed."

This story and related comments still indicate to me that William Shakepeare had the right idea as it relates to lawyers.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC will
duel for first place in the Western Conference when the two sides meet at
CenturyLink Field on Friday.
The Western Conference rivals enter the contest separated by just two points,
though Seattle, occupying second place, holds two games in hand.
The Sounders have done well to ascend up the table in recent weeks, winning
their last four regular season matches to improve to 46 points on the season.
They claimed a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire on Saturday thanks an 89th-
minute own goal from Gonzalo Segares.
It looks likely that Seattle will enter Friday's clash with limited
involvement from Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson as the duo featured for the
United States national team on Tuesday. Head coach Sigi Schmid revealed that
they probably won't start the match but that they could play a role off the
bench if needed.
Even without Dempsey and Johnson, the Sounders still should give a good
account of themselves as they have churned out some inspired defensive
performances of late. Seattle has conceded just one goal over its current
four-game winning streak, and Schmid's men will need to be solid at the back
once again if they hope to contain a Salt Lake side that has exploded to score
11 goals over its last three league matches.
Real Salt Lake most recently edged the Portland Timbers in a 4-2 victory at
Rio Tinto Stadium on Aug. 30, the second straight match in which the Claret
and Cobalt put four past their opponent. For head coach Jason Kreis, it was
nice to see his side avoid a potential letdown following a 4-0 defeat of the
Columbus Crew on Aug. 24.
"I really wasn't (worried), but typically I am," Kreis said after the match.
"I think, right now, we're at that time of year where I don't think you have
to be too worried about motivating the players or getting them to respond
after too good of a game or too bad of a game. I think that we all know what's
in front of us. The opportunity has presented itself for us, and I think that
should mean that every game will get our maximum effort."
It will be interesting to see what type of role Kyle Beckerman plays for Real
Salt Lake on Friday. The Salt Lake talisman enjoyed a 90-minute performance
for the United States against Mexico on Tuesday, making his inclusion for the
club's starting XI on Friday a doubt. But should Salt Lake get an edge,
Beckerman could feature off the bench to add some professionalism and close
out the match.

Haven't been on the Forum for quite some time.
My son and I drew X12 tags this year. I've hunted X9B a few times and X10 twice and X9A once in 2006.
Have never been able to draw X12 until now. Been in the zone many times driving though, etc. but not hunted it.
I had a friend that had hunted it a few times a long time ago but all I remember him mentioning was Bodie Hills.
The season being Sept.15th to Oct. 8th like X9B and X9A I'm sure most bigger bucks will be up high or still in Nv. !
Any places to start would be more than appreciated. I have all maps that cover X12 already.

St. Louis (KSDK) - A 5-year-old boy with a serious heart condition is still missing.
Police are calling this a parental kidnapping and say he was taken from St. Louis Children's Hospital after he was discharged this afternoon. The child was in the custody of his mother.
PHOTOS - Porter Stone, Jeffery Stone, Rhonda Matthews
Relatives say the child's mother has legal custody of Porter Stone, but his father, Jeffery Stone, who now lives in California, came to town to check on his son.
Doctors say Porter's heart has been deteriorating for some time, and things could get worse since it's believed the child only has enough medication to last him through Wednesday afternoon.
Doctors at Children's Hospital say Porter was recently diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy, and has been going back and forth between St. Louis and Kansas City for treatment.
"His heart muscle is not pumping properly," said Dr. Sessions Cole, Chief Medical Officer of St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Hospital staff says Porter checked into Children's Hospital Friday.
On Tuesday his family made the decision to place Porter on a heart transplant list.
Porter had been discharged from the hospital at 3:50 p.m. Tuesday when investigators say he and 33-year-old Jeffery Stone disappeared.
"After the discharge, the father took the child to the pharmacy and the mother went to get the car."
Police say Porter's mother waited for her son and Jeffery Stone to show up, but they never did. She then called police.
Investigators say Jeffery Stone's mother, Rhonda Matthews, is also with the pair. Relatives say she drove in from California a few days ago.
Ian Fife, Porter Stone's maternal uncle, says Porter's parents are in the midst of an ugly divorce and custody battle.
"I believe it's to try and hurt my sister. To try and take control of the situation since he had no custody of the children," said Fife.
Doctors are concerned for Porter's health since at the time of his disappearance he was hooked up to a portable IV, which had about 24 hours worth of medication left.
"His heart function, which is already compromised, will begin to deteriorate, so as with any patient whose heart is failing, he would begin to breathe rapidly," said Dr. Cole.
Fife says Jeffery Stone had been very critical of his son's care during Porter's stay at Children's.
Jeffery Stone and his mother, Rhonda Matthews, were last seen in a silver or black Toyota Corolla with California license plates, 6BMU445.
If you have any information on their whereabouts call 911.

Welcome to the guild. I'm sure you'll continue to find both resources and inspiration.
Hello everyone!
It's been 4 years i'm working as a cartographer and i just discovered this wonderfull community. In my professionnal environnement i work with GIS and i finish my maps using illustrator to improve the render.
When i discovered this forum and those maps realised with photoshop / gimp, i was quite astonished by the render it was possible to obtain. The mixing of cartography and art realised by some of the members of this forum was really a big inspiration to me!
As a cartographer i couldn't resist the temptation to realize some maps with a photoshop approach, an app i didnt use that much before. I'm proud to join this community and i'll soon post my first maps realised using photoshop
ps: Huge thanks for all those usefull tutorials, brush and textures that inspired me in the art of cartography.
Welcome to the guild. I'm sure you'll continue to find both resources and inspiration.
Welcome! I am new here too, but it's never too soon or too late to say hi!
Welcome to the Guild Francissimo!

Having read what the forums and wiki have to say about funambol and z-push, Im left a little confused: If i want to sync email, calendar and contacts to my phone do I need Funambol and z-push (server and related clients)? or just Funambol?
Outwardly funambol seems to be able to sync calendar, contacts and tasks (although ive read tasks arent working that well , in 6 GA at least) But theres no mention of syncing email in the funambol client.
Similarly, z-push works brilliantly for email by utilizing the widely available Mail For Exchange, but calendar and contacts are notably absent. There is a sourceforge project to develop a complete zimbra backend for z-push, but as yet, there doesnt seem to be much activity. Attempting to develop my own z-push zimbra back end was a consideration, but with next to no developer documentation made that somewhat difficult. So I guess after all that rambling, my question really is:
Will funambol sync email, calendar, and contacts between my phone and my zimbra server? If it did, it would be suuuuuuhhhweeeeeet.

However, I can't help but being surprised that such an obvious gender stereotype still exists. Another hoary old bit of sexist horrible-ness is "Women aren't funny."

It's time for the summer parties and enjoying the outdoors. Picnics and BBQ's are all the rage and it is time for fun in the sun.
We all know that where there is a party going on, there is some sort of beverage (usually many sorts). Traditionally you will always find beer and wines, usually red and white and the occasional bottle of sparkling wine or champagne for the well-heeled. But, one wine is missing from many of these outdoor get together – and that is rosé wine.
This is, simply, a travesty to my mind and something has to be done. I believe, as do many in the know, that this beautiful pink wine could be the very best beverage to serve during the summer. It looks wonderful, it tastes great and it can be served with pretty much any type of food without worry of any guest thinking that you, the host, have no idea how to pair food and wine.
Before you pick a rosé (or "blush" as it is often referred as) you need to know a few things because firstly, you want to pick the ones with the right taste and secondly, you want to know what you are talking about when you r guests ask why you picked such amazing wine.
These pink wines can be sweet, dry or really, really dry – which is the way you will find them if you are selecting the traditional rose from a European country. You can also find them in sparkling form which I, personally, like very much.
You can find them in a whole range of shades and this is based on how they were made. The color is wholly dependent on how long the skin of the red grapes was left in contact with the juice during the fermentation process. The longer the contact, the darker the pink – and usually the more fruit taste in the wine.
The typical grapes used to make these blush wines are the same as you would find in a typical red wine – those being varietals such as cabernet sauvignon and merlot. You will also find that different countries will make use of different grape varietals and, as such, will create wine with different taste portfolios. What will be the same, regardless of where they are produced is that rosés will be more subtle and have hints of citrus, raspberry, strawberry and a little cherry. This is what makes the perfect for summer consumption and why they are so easily paired with the foods one would traditionally serve during the summer months.
You should serve this wine cold. In fact, I like to keep mine in buckets of ice and keep extra ice handy so I can put a few cubes in the glass. While this may not be to everyone's taste and does water the wine down a little, my personal preference is that it is served extremely cold – especially on hot summer days.
When finding the right rosé to drink and serve, you will find that there is not a lot of choice at your local grocery store. The best way to buy this wine is from a specialist wine shop or from an online wine store where there will be much greater choice and, probably, lower prices. You could even opt for joining a wine club where you can have experts pick wines for you every month. But, whichever method you chose, take time to learn about this great wine and your appreciation will grow considerably.
Lastly, while wine is traditionally, and typically, drank during the summer period, that does not mean you can't and shouldn't enjoy it all year round. This is especially true at home as you can keep it yourself and enjoy in those times where you just can't find it on the wine list of the restaurants and bars you visit.

Average Customer Review: based on 14 reviews.Rating: Warm Gloves, Nice Dexterity
I work for a city in the water and sewer division. I have problems finding a glove for cold weather that you can use in water. I was told about these kind of gloves and i was wondering how well you think these might work in this situation. They have to remain plyable and also be able to work with nuts and bolts. I would also like to know how they might compare to cold weather gloves since they dont let any air in. Thanks, Bucky.
Toughness and grip meet warmth and flexibility.
• 4mm neoprene blends warmth and flexibility
• Merino™ lined neoprene is 35% more thermally efficient
• Kevlar™ palm is strong enough for wreck diving and hunting
• Sizes: XS, Small, Medium, Large, XL, and XXL.
Though Merino™ was virtually unknown to the diving industry 5 years ago, it has come to be known as a hallmark of excellence. Discerning divers who want the most innovative and most durable products seek out PINNACLE, and those who will settle only for the best of the best choose PINNACLE's Merino™ lined products. This unique material is truly the best-performing way to line a suit ever devised, providing more warmth, comfort, and odor control than any other.
The key step to making any wetsuit perform to its ultimate potential is reducing water transfer. This process, whereby water from the diving environment enters and exits the wetsuit, allows cold water to enter the suit and lets bodywarmed water exit; thus chilling the diver, even in tropical waters. PINNACLE nearly eliminates water transfer by creating better barriers to keep cold water out, making more form-fitting products that prevent internal water movement, employing the renowned Merino™ lining system to enable body heat to warm internal water, and then making it extremely difficult for that warm water to escape.
