So I had a situation recently, where I was a COMPLETE porcupine to my husband! I made amends but it still bothers me. Why has it bothered me so? Because God has been reminding me of all the times he says in the Bible to keep peace with others and I failed to do so by having a loose tongue!
Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
"A porcupine has a lot of good points, but nobody wants to be around it."
Be sure to visit these brilliant women during our 10 days adventure between November 7th-18th! I love these ladies and we know you will too.

Comedy Carnival Leicester Square: Steve Williams, Sean Meo, Ninia Benjamin, Pete Jonas
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Steve Williams
More topical than Trevor MacDonald, Steve is one of the tallest guys on the circuit and certainly one of the most original. His Welsh genes allow him to have a totally different aspect on life although he hasn't lost any of the traditional Welsh values, including their fondness for sheep. He has supported Lee Mack on tour, appeared on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and was nominated for a Chortle Award. Steve never fails to surprise and engage audiences with his hybrid of bizarre stories, larger than life physicality, spontaneous improvisation and skewed view of everyday life.
'Steve Williams has proven his lauders correct and come of age as one of Britain's best stand-up performers... effortless audience interaction, inventive and adaptable use of his material and some of the best natural improvisation you will see at the Fringe this year... an hour filled with a constant torrent of laughter' (Fest).
Steve Williams tour dates
Sean Meo
Veteran of Have I Got News For You, Saturday Live, Tarbuck Late and The Clive James Show, Sean Meo is a class act with some of the most intelligent and topical material around.
'He can turn out intelligent material with a speed that many other comics can only gasp at' (Time Out)
'Slick, confident patter... can win over the most committed hecklers' (ES Magazine)
'Truly hilarious' (The Scotsman)
'Surreal, sexy... and very, very funny' (Evening Standard)
'The heavenly banter goes on and on the thinking man's comedian' (Deadpan)
'Deliciously sardonic' (The Guardian).
Sean Meo tour dates
Ninia Benjamin
Armed with a wide smile, her warmth on and off the stage lets her get away with murder. One of BBC's award-winning 3 Non-Blondes.
While Ninia's popularity on television continues to soar, her stand-up remains at the highest level. She is a regular headliner at all the top venues across the UK, such
as Jongleurs, Up the Creek, The Banana Cabaret, Glee Clubs and Bound & Gagged.
'The Comedy Assassin' (The Voice).
Ninia Benjamin tour dates
Pete Jonas
Pete Jonas is a London-based stand up comedian originally from Melbourne. Described as 'a rock-solid act guaranteed to entertain' (Chortle UK), he has travelled and performed extensively, including shows in New York, Australia, Singapore, Holland, Switzerland and Greece. 'Pant wettingly funny... the laugh out loud moments come think and fast' (The Australian Times).

Top Definition
A term used to describe a phyisically attractive but older than average lady. Not to be confused with milf as Vintage Bintage doesn't nessecarily have to have children.
Joan Collins is an example of Vintage Bintage but maybe more vintage than actually bintage.

Whether 'Playing the Castle' or Another Stage Sept. 9-10, 2011 Night of Joy Acts Are Among Contemporary Christian's Most-Talented
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Many Christian music artists consider they've really arrived if they "play the Castle" at Disney's Night of Joy. That being the case, Jeremy Camp, Newsboys, Skillet, Jars of Clay, TobyMac and MercyMe have "really arrived": Each will be doing a concert on the Cinderella Castle Stage during the Sept. 9-10, 2011, event in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort.
Of course, that's just one of several stages throughout the park that will be alive with Christian music presented by a total of 16 Christian recording artists over the two nights of the special, after-hours event. And all the performers who have "really arrived" aren't "playing the Castle"! Here's what's in store:
On Friday, Sept. 9, while Jeremy Camp, Newsboys and Skillet each will do an hour-plus show sometime between 7:45 p.m. and 1 a.m. on the Castle Stage, Christian Artist of the Year Francesca Battistelli will be performing elsewhere in Magic Kingdom — as will Group 1 Crew, Sidewalk Prophets, Matthew West and Disciple. Among them, the eight Friday night acts span the musical spectrum from Adult Contemporary and Pop to Praise/Rock, Rock and Hip Hop. Among them, they have amassed 46 Dove Awards and five Grammy Awards.
On Saturday, Sept. 10, Jars of Clay, TobyMac and MercyMe will "play the Castle" while other stages throughout Magic Kingdom will feature New Artist and Male Vocalist of the Year Chris August, Marvin Sapp, Kutless, Sanctus Real and VaShawn Mitchell. It's a menu filled with musical variety — Gospel to Rock, Hip Hop to Adult Contemporary. As for honors: 24 Dove Awards and three Grammy Awards. (All entertainment is subject to change without notice.)
Night of Joy begins at 7:30 p.m. (following regular park closing) with early entry beginning at 4 p.m. The event runs until 1 a.m.
Both individual and group tickets are available for one night or both nights. Information is available at nightofjoy.com.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Returns Sept. 13 with 23 Nights of Halloween Fun in Magic Kingdom
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Halloween's happiest haunts will be reappearing for a season of "spook-tacular" fun as Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party returns to the Magic Kingdom for 23 select nights between Sept. 13 and Nov. 1, 2011.
The after-hours Magic Kingdom party will once again be immersed in the Halloween spirit, including two entertainment spectaculars created especially for the event:
- Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade proceeds down Main Street, U.S.A., heralded by the Headless Horseman and his trusty steed, and trailed by a cavalcade of holiday-themed characters, from Mickey and the gang to Disney villains and the stars of the Haunted Mansion (but make sure to watch out for Hitchhiking Ghosts!).
- The bewitching "Happy HalloWishes"fireworks spectacular illuminates the sky in bursts of orange and green fireworks, while Cinderella Castle is draped in eerie hues and ghostly apparitions flit along the park's rooftops.
The Boo-to-you Parade takes place at 8:15 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. with HalloWishes Fireworks Spectacular in between at 9:30 p.m. Special lighting, music and theming effects combine to transform areas of the park into happy haunted hollows.
The night of ever-so-slightly-frightful fun begins at 7 p.m. and runs until midnight, with guests encouraged to don their favorite Halloween costumes and trick-or-treat around the Magic Kingdom theme park.
In addition to Land-to-Land trick-or-treating, meet and greets with characters and entertainment unique to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, many popular Magic Kingdom attractions — including, of course, Haunted Mansion — are available to experience.
Party dates in 2011 are: Sept. 13, 16, 20, 23, 27 and 30; Oct. 2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30 and 31; and Nov. 1.
To purchase advance tickets, guests can visit disneyworld.com/halloween or call 407/W-DISNEY. Advance purchase (prior to event day) savings of $6 per ticket are available for Sept. 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, and 30; Oct. 2, 6, 10, 11, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25 and 27; and Nov. 1.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Fans of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival "premium events" can get the party started even before the 45-day festival kicks off.
At the First Bites Opening Reception on Sept. 29, 2011 — the eve of the festival start — Chef Keegan Gerhard of The Food Network will chat with guests during a culinary demonstration that includes a taste of his featured dish. During the 6:30-9 p.m. event, guests can preview epicurean samplings from international marketplaces along with wines and other beverages to be served throughout the Sept. 30-Nov. 13 festival.

- Wrapping a day at the festival with a sweet ending is easy to do at "3D" Disney's Dessert Discovery on designated Fridays at the World ShowPlace Events Pavilion.

16th Epcot Food & Wine Festival Serving Up Menu of New Experiences in Cuisine and Culture during 45-Day Run Beginning Sept. 30, 2011
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Exotic island tastes. Craft beers. Cranberries. Tips for dressing up the home décor for holiday entertaining.
These are just a sampling of what's new at the 16th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, opening Sept. 30 and continuing for 45 days, through Nov. 13, 2011, at Walt Disney World Resort. The one-of-a-kind festival serves up international cuisine, culture and entertainment from six continents, with more than 25 international marketplaces featuring tapas-sized portions paired with beer, wine and inventive cocktails.
And some of what's new for 2011 involves the marketplaces:
- A Hawaii marketplace will cook up Kalua pork sliders and tuna poke with seaweed salad and lotus root chips to team with a refreshing Seven Tiki Mai Tai or a Kona Longboard or Pipeline beer.
- A Caribbean Islands marketplace will serve ropa vieja with rice and jerk-spiced chicken with mango salsa. A beverage menu featuring a frozen Dragon Berry Colada and frozen Rock Coconut Mojito is sure to conjure steel-drum fantasies.
- A Portugal marketplace will allow guests to pair a red, white or port wine with calamari salad with olives and smoked paprika or Linguica sausage with onions, peppers and olives.
- A craft beers marketplace will serve up eight select brews for sampling.
Beyond the marketplaces, a couple of the festival's new features of note are:
- HGTV Personalities – Guests can learn from HGTV celebrity designers during 30-minute seminars on festival weekends. There will be tips to create the ultimate entertainment room, tips on how to become an excellent host, tips on holiday table setting, herb and vegetable gardening, and kitchen/dining room designs. Sessions are Friday and Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
- Cranberry Bog – Recreating the beauty of the cranberry harvest, the new area will tell the story behind the rich agricultural heritage, the harvesting process and the history of the cranberry, a true native North American fruit.
The festival requires Epcot admission, and some experiences during the festival require advance reservations. More information is available at disneyworld.com/foodandwine.

New 'Untamed' Dining Adventure Transports Disney Guests to Africa
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — An all-new dining experience hosted by a Disney animal specialist is available at Sanaa at Kidani Village, located in Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge at Walt Disney World Resort. Over lunch, an animal expert reveals facts and myths about wildlife as guests immerse themselves in the culture and flavors of Africa.
There's no more perfect setting, as Sanaa's windows frame grazing zebra and giraffes, Ankole Cattle and White-Bearded Wildebeest. The experience accommodates up to 12 guests, offering an intimate, fun insider's view, with plenty of time for questions.
Adding flavor to the experience: a four-course, African-inspired lunch made in Sanaa's tandoor ovens. It boasts many delicacies, such as warm naan bread, savory dips, slow-cooked meats, unusual sweets and more.
After dessert, diners venture to a savanna lookout, to observe and learn more about the exotic animals grazing the landscape.

Tampa Bay Bucs Great Derrick Brooks Going to Disney World to Play with the Golf Pros at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — There will be celebrities, Disney characters and a musical fanfare when the PGA TOUR "goes to Disney World" for the season-ending Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic Oct. 20-23, 2011. There's also likely to be some drama: The $4.7 million tournament Oct. 20-23 on Disney's Magnolia and Palm courses will determine the final TOUR money rankings and which players have full exemptions in 2012.
Retired Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks is the first celebrity announced as an amateur participating in the Classic during the first and second rounds, played as a pro-am. Nine-time All-Pro Brooks' National Football League career included 11 Pro Bowl appearances and selection as Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, when the Bucs won the Super Bowl.
A tradition of the Classic during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s is returning in 2011: A cadre of characters and the red-and-white-clad Walt Disney World Band will gather at the 18th green to celebrate the tournament winner.
Tournament Chairman Kevin Weickel said adding classic sounds from the legacy of Disney music "is part of making the moment truly unique and special. For many of our champions over the years, the Classic has been their first entrance to the PGA TOUR's winner's circle–and that is a memory you really want to make memorable with some pomp!"
That was the case in 2010 when Robert Garrigus came from behind on Sunday to claim his first PGA TOUR win. He became the 17th player to notch his first TOUR victory on Disney's historic courses, which have hosted the Classic since 1971.
A field of 128 professionals will tee off in the quest for the $846,000 winner's check. After two rounds, the field will be trimmed to the low 70 scores for the weekend rounds.
A one-day grounds ticket is $10; the weekly tournament badge providing admission to the grounds Oct. 17-Oct. 23 is $20. Parking is free and youth ages 17 and under are free when accompanying a paying adult. More information: childrensmiraclenetworkclassic.com.
Disney 'world' of Walt Disney World Moms Panel Expanding; Application Period for 2012 Panel Begins Sept. 12, 2011
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Disney "world" of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel is growing in 2012 to include not just panelists who help plan magical vacations for people heading to Walt Disney World Resort but also for folks wanting to take a Disney Cruise Line cruise, an Adventures By Disney excursion, visit Disney beach resorts or Disneyland Resort … and more.
Candidates for the panel — made up of Disney-loving guests who are the "go to" person for anymore seeking information and advice about "all things Disney" — can apply beginning Sept. 12, 2011, at 9 a.m. ET at DisneyWorldMoms.com. The application period concludes Sept. 16, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Guests chosen for the panel are off-the-charts fanatics about all things Disney. They love to share what they have learned over their years of "doing Disney." That's why the panel was created in 2008 as an online forum of vacation advisors made up of everyday people who answer questions, offer advice and address specific concerns of families in the process of planning a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. Five years later, the panel has become a vacation planning phenomenon.
If this application period is anything like every previous one, competition will be fierce, with applications coming from thousands of candidates all over the world. More information is available at DisneyWorldMoms.com.

…and another for them.
A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.
I don't recall that being included in the national curriculum.
Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.
Where's he been living? Under a rock? In some dark cave? Has he never watched TV or read a newspaper?
Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence, saying: 'Although chronologically 18, it is quite clear from the reports that you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.'
As mitigating circumstances go this one is thinner than a stick insect's todger. Worked like a charm though, didn't it.
Earlier Nottingham Crown Court heard that such crimes usually result in a four to seven-year prison sentence.
Used to result in a four to seven-year prison sentence. The precedent this moron of a judge has just set into law has handed paedos of a particular hue a get out of jail free card. What the Scammel happened to ignorance is no defence? What happened to justice? I'll tell you what's happened to it. Our wonderful judiciary just cut off the blind old biddy's head with that sword of hers and shoved the scales down the hole in her neck!
But the judge said that because Rashid was 'passive' and 'lacking assertiveness', sending him to jail might cause him 'more damage than good'.
I guess Rashid dressing up to look like a schoolboy and standing in the dock clasping his hands in front and staring contritely at his feet did the trick, eh?
Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted he had sex with the girl, saying he had been 'tempted by her' after they met online.
It was all the girl's fault. She wasn't done up in a tent like a human letterbox so Rashid didn't have a choice.
Gimme a frigging break! This is Britain we're talking about, not some medieval shithole. We don't have Sharia courts here.
Oh, wait…
They initially exchanged messages on Facebook before sending texts and chatting on the phone over a two-month period.
They then met up in Nottingham, where Rashid had booked a room at a Premier Inn.
Yeah, he was so naive, passive and lacking assertiveness he had the forethought to pre-book a room in the hotel.
The girl told police they stayed at the hotel for two hours and had sex after Rashid went to the bathroom and emerged wearing a condom.
Wait. What the…?
Let's perform a little re-wind.
…you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.
Not so naive and immature he didn't know about condoms and what they are for. Clearly not much of a lily-white ingénue then. Yet the judge chose to ignore that this paragon of Islamic values went equipped.
I'd say the only naive and immature tosser in the courtroom was Judge Stokes because he's been had over good and proper.
Rashid then returned home and went straight to a mosque to pray.
Because praying to a Dark Ages warlord who had a nine year old bride is what you do after having sex with a child in a country that locks up paedophiles. Or at least used to.
He was arrested the following week after the girl confessed what had happened to a school friend, who informed one of her teachers.
It's a pity the silly girl didn't confide to her very sensible friend before she met Rashid in the flesh, so to speak.
He told police he knew the girl was 13 but said he was initially reluctant to have sex before relenting after being seduced.
The accused was so reluctant he went to the expense of booking a room and nipping into a chemist for a pack of three. I say chemist since I'm assuming that procuring johnnies from a dispenser in the hotel lavvy is haram. Or he could have got them from a third party of course.
Earlier the court heard how Rashid had 'little experience of women' due to his education at an Islamic school in the UK, which cannot be named for legal reasons.
The name of a school that labels a seven year old a racist for asking another child an innocent question about his skin colour gets splashed all over the papers. So how come the name of the "school" that teaches its male pupils that women are scum and can be treated as scum gets a pass? Surely this poison should be weeded out, not protected?
After his arrest, he told a psychologist that he did not know having sex with a 13-year-old was against the law. The court heard he found it was illegal only when he was informed by a family member.
At which point he was so full of remorse for breaking the law he gave himself up to the police. Oh, wait. No he didn't.
In other interviews with psychologists, Rashid claimed he had been taught in his school that 'women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground'.
I'd just love to see the last Ofstead report on this school. I wonder if it was a glowing, politically correct one? I can't wait to see Ofstead explain how rampant Islamic misogyny passed under their radar, accepting, like the judge did, that Rashid isn't a lying little scrote. I take it that these Islamic schools are inspected like other faith schools are. If what Rashid said is true, how many more madrassas in the UK wipe their arses with the national curriculum while under Ofstead's purview?
When Judge Stokes said Rashid 'must have known it was illegal, unless he was going round with his eyes shut', defence lawyer Laban Leake said reports suggested Rashid had a 'degree of sexual naivety'.
Clearly, Rashid wasn't the only one going round with his eyes shut…
The school he attended, it is not going too far to say, can be described as a closed community and on this occasion this was perpetuated by his home life.
No shit, Sherlock! Are we going to see the same largesse handed out to a boy, formerly cloistered in a Catholic school, grooming thirteen year olds and having sex with them?
Then why has Rashid been allowed to get away with it?
'It is not too far to say that he may not have known that having sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal.' Judge Stokes sentenced Rashid to nine months youth custody, suspended for two years, along with a two-year probation supervision order.
But apparently it's too far to say that Rashid had a mobile phone and a Facebook account which means he had access to the internet. With all the news about Muslim child grooming gangs and teachers running off abroad with underage pupils being splashed around the media and internet how can he not have known?
Describing Rashid, the judge said: 'He's had an unusual education, certainly in terms of the sexual education provided. Comparing women to lollipops is a very curious way of teaching young men about sex.'
Bangs head on table. It's not "curious" shit-for-brains, it's scammelling scandalous! All those frigging gender equality laws the legal profession print money from vigorously support are being trodden into the mud and all Stokes can say is that it's curious? Is he high on crack cocaine or something? Is he so blinded by political correctness that he can't see where this will lead?
But he said that Rashid knew what he was doing was wrong.
Then why isn't Rashid busy avoiding dropping the soap in a prison bathroom? He groomed and had sex with an underage girl. That is a prisonable offence.
'It was made clear to you at the school you attended that having sexual relations with a woman before marriage was contrary to the precepts of Islam,' he said.
So Rashid is being given this outrageously lenient sentenced for ignoring madrassa teaching?
Addressing Rashid, the judge said: 'I accept this was a case where the girl was quite willing to have sexual activity with you. But the law is there to protect young girls, even though they are perfectly happy to engage in sexual activity.'
Unless some dhimmified Judge is willing to make an exception when it suits him?
The law my left buttock! British law has become a travesty, a joke, a sham. It is unfit for purpose. Judge Stokes should hang up his wig and gown in shame. Letting a paedophile go because he went to the wrong school is an unacceptable defence. and the sentence handed down has no place in any civilised society.

NEWARK, Del. – College of Charleston finished the 2013 regular season with a strong performance, sweeping Delaware, 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 28-26), on the Blue Hens' Senior Night.
Charleston (23-5, 13-1) won the final two matches of the regular season to improve its overall record to 23-5, the second-highest regular season winning percentage (.821) in head coach Jason Kepner's seven-year tenure.
The CAA's top team in its first season in the league, Charleston will host the CAA Volleyball Tournament on Nov. 22-24 at the North Charleston Convention Center. The Cougars will be the one seed with a first-round bye before the facing the winner of the No. 4-No. 5 match on Saturday afternoon.
Against Delaware on Saturday, the Cougars hit a blistering .349 on the offensive end with 54 kills. Charleston's defense performed admirably, out-digging UD 47-31 and posting the season's highest sideout tally of 73 percent. Charleston posted its 12th sweep of the season, the most by any CAA squad.
"It was a great finish to the regular season," said head coach Jason Kepner. "We are playing some of our best volleyball heading into the postseason, and we are looking forward to hosting an outstanding conference tournament next weekend."
Darcy Dorton made a strong final case for CAA Player of the Year honors with an outstanding weekend of matches. She hit .419 and made 17 kills on Saturday with 10 digs and two blocks. She finished the two matches with a .410 hitting percentage and 5.38 kills per set. She raised her season average to 3.9 points per set.
Melissa Morello finished with 12 kills and nine digs, hitting .200. Emily Neideffer tallied nine kills and hit .375 for the match. Although she only played two sets, Sloane White made seven kills.
Grace Rebarchak made six kills and set a new career high with a .625 hitting percentage. She also made four blocks and punched out the set-winners in the first and second games. Kallie McKown led CofC with 25 assists, while Taeler Davis made 17 assists.
Delaware's Katie Hillman led the Blue Hens with 10 kills, while Katie Hank had eight kills.
CofC jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first set, dominating the Blue Hens pin to pin and through the middle. Charleston was a perfect 1.000 through the first nine swings, making a kill on each one. The Cougars finished the set hitting .500, led by Dorton's five kills. Neideffer and White each had four and McKown was the setter of choice with 10 assists as CofC won 25-14.
Delaware pushed the Cougars a little more in the second set, tying the score at 11 early on. CofC used a 4-0 run to open a 15-11 lead and the Blue Hens could not fly their way back from their several errors. Rebarchak tallied yet another set-winning kill and the Cougars won handily, 25-18.
The Cougars could not put away the Blue Hens easily in the third set as neither team built a lead greater than two points for most of the set. Charleston trailed 23-21 late, but a pair of kills from Neideffer and a Dorton kill put CofC ahead 24-23. With their season nearly ending, Delaware fought hard to push the set to extra points, but Dorton tied things at 26 and a block from White and kill from Dorton gave Charleston the 28-26 win.
The CAA Conference awards will be announced later this week along with a CAA Volleyball Tournament bracket.

MATTAPOISETT — The badly decomposed carcass of a large gray seal was discovered on the town beach in Mattapoisett Tuesday, prompting officials to close the beach for the day as a precaution.
The discovery of the remains of the headless seal was reported to police by the homeowner in an adjacent house.
"That thing was huge. It had to be at least 400 pounds," Mattapoisett Natural Resources Officer Kathy Massey said. "Harbor seals are common but it's the first time in 20 years I've seen a gray seal here."
Massey retrieved the seal from the water and the Mattapoisett Highway Department used a loader to dispose of the carcass.
Members of the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Yarmouth, which operates a stranding network, identified the carcass as a gray seal. IFAW came to Mattapoisett to document the stranding, according to Massey.
"Usually they take teeth but they couldn't do that this time," she said.
The town beach was reopened Wednesday. A dead leatherback turtle also came ashore on Strawberry Point in Mattapoisett on Thursday, Massey said.

About the Vineyard...
The 2002 Chardonnay is the culmination of plant selection we have been working on since 1997. We had been
selecting cuttings from the most flavorful plants from the vineyards we had sourced - with the idea of making
our own �super� selection. The vineyards were planted to �Old Wente� and �Robert Young� selections, so we
were already starting with some of the most revered cuttings in California*. Even so, we were intent on making
a good thing even better. We had these cuttings planted for us at the Toyon Ranch on the Napa side of
Carneros and they produced their first juice in 2001. This blends with the Old Wente selection from the Vella
About the Vintage...
The 2002 vintage was exceptional across California. The fruit ripened slowly and evenly with no sudden heat
spells or extended cool periods. We were able to pick the grapes exactly when we wanted with ideal sugar and
above average acid levels. As a result, this vintage has seen a complete malolactic fermentation.
About the Wine...
We aspire to guide our Chardonnay toward a layered, complex, and food friendly style that develops
gracefully in the bottle. For us, the key word is balance. Additionally, we aim to highlight the unique
characteristics of the vineyards and clonal selections we work with.
We gently pressed the grapes as whole clusters, settled and fermented entirely in French Oak, of which 45%
was new. We used a variety of yeasts, including native yeast, and three Burgundian coopers chosen for their
synergism and support of the fruit. Fermentation proceeded slowly at cool temperature, averaging 55�F. The
wine was aged on its yeast lees, which were stirred weekly through May. The wine was not racked until
bottling, at which time it was moved with inert Argon gas. Malolactic fermentation was 100% complete.
Wine analysis: Alc. 14.2%, pH 3.44, ta 6.0 g/l. 750 cases produced.
Tasting Notes...
The wine is big, rich, and layered with juicy fruit, freesia, ripe apple, and lemon cream aromas layered above
creamy yeast notes, cocoa and vanillin. As the wine opens, the complexity of the wine shows, display
additional nuances of macadamia nuts and tropical fruits. Exceptional richness and fruit intensity with
mineral notes framing the opulently textured palate. The finish is long and focused with nicely balanced

For most companies, sales copy is a critical tool in generating revenues. Effective sales copy is not simply a matter of describing what your company does or explaining how a product works. In order for sales copy to be effective, it has to be written in a certain way. Here are a few recommendations to keep in mind when your developing sales copy.
Write about your prospects
Don't focus the copy on just the features and benefits of your product, write about your customers' experiences using the product. If you have no customers yet, write about the expected results when prospects buy your product. How will it make their lives better, easier, or more fulfilling? Think about how the use of your product will improve their social status, appearance, or daily routine. Write as if you are the reader – what would you want to know? This method of writing is called reader-centric and it focuses on producing copy that appeals directly to your audience.
Write about the benefits, not features
When you do insert copy about your product, think in terms of the benefits to your customers. Get some feedback from actual customers and reflect that feedback within the copy.
Although there are some consumers that are interested in the bells and whistles of your product. Most often, buyers want to know that they will receive certain benefits from purchasing the product. For example, writing copy about a car with a built-in touch screen navigation system should focus on the ease of finding locations while in transit or not having to handle and read a paper map.
Include proof when making claims
If your product provides solutions that are not available through competing products, make sure to provide proof of any claims that are made. For instance, the copy for a shampoo product that eliminates dandruff should explain that results were achieved during a testing phase.
Sales copywriters can get into trouble if proof of claims is not explicitly written in the sales copy for certain products. For example, products that address physical health must include disclaimers or evidence within the sales materials or risk a penalty from the Food and Drug Administration.
Include a call to action
Some products are sold using direct marketing copy and others rely on branding copy to create awareness. In either case it is important to include a call to action, a request (or command!) to perform some activity within a period of time. For example, inserting "learn more" following text about a product feature provides an immediate call to action for readers who would like more information.
It is important to include a deadline within a call to action when possible. An example might look like this: "Hurry! This offer ends on January 1st." This gives the reader a precise date to act before losing out on a special offer. Sales copy does not need to be littered with "Buy Now" or "Don't Delay" to be effective. Simply providing a written mechanism that engages the reader at a deeper level can produce results.
In the end, sales copy is judged on results. How many sales were completed? How many Web visitors were converted? Although writing sales copy is not rocket science, there is a craft to creating the right pitch that will get noticed and bring in buyers.

What would Halloween be without a good, old-fashioned chill? We spoke with the explorers of the unknown over at Scarefest this September, as summer died an agonizing death and yielded to the decaying season of fall.
Even if you aren't into the whole craze of ghost hunting shows, there's something for you in SyFy's Deep South Paranormal. The show debuted in April and became an instant fan favorite. During the horror and paranormal convention, Scarefest, I got a chance to sit down with Deep South Paranormal's own Jonathan Hodges, Benny Reed, and Keith Ramsey to talk about some of their favorite investigations so far.
What has been your favorite local so far that you've investigated?
Favorite location on the show would have to be Prattville, Alabama. We actually conjured up something while using voodoo and we got a shot of what is supposedly known as The Lady in Black. I mean anytime you try to do a recorded hunt like that, nothing like this ever happens. This was one of the rare times that it was actually caught on film. Our plan went through and it worked out great.
What about before the show began?
Before it began, we had a local group called DOA Paranormal up in Huntsville, Alabama and there's a hospital called the Lincoln County Hospital over in Lincoln County, Tennessee. I was actually born in that hospital and we had a lot of stuff happen there. We actually believe the nursery is like a portal because there has been so much bad stuff happen there. Once we had it get darker than dark, if you can imagine that, and you start to hear scratching on the nursery windows. We've seen massive figures standing in the doorways, so it's a really crazy place. It's been abandoned since the 1980s and when they left, they left everything.
So it's exactly how it was when it was in use?
It's exactly how it was. Everything is still in it's place which makes it even more creepy.
If someone is starting out in paranormal investigation, do you have a location you would recommend them to visit?
It would depend on their location, but I would go somewhere that you have to pay. I know that sounds stupid, but that way you know you've got people there who have done it and they can teach you the basics. But if you're just starting out and you don't want to spend the money, go to your local cemetery, get you a camera and a little equipment, you don't need much, and just do it. Now be careful because you can open up some doors that you don't want opened.
Is there anything you won't do in an investigation? Is anything off limits?
The only thing that I won't do is go to Bobby Mackey's. I don't know what it is, but there's something about that place that I have horrible feelings about. I know other shows have done it, but I won't.
I've heard a lot of the investigators say they won't do voodoo. Anything like that you won't do?
Well, we don't do voodoo, but there's a guy on the show that does a lot of old fashioned, folklore style of conjuring. It works well, but we won't go in and try to intimidate or torment something because we're going into their house. We aren't there to try and run something off, we're just trying to find out why it's there. That's one thing we won't do.
What are some of your dream locations you haven't been able to investigate yet?
There's a bunch. Ashmore State is at the top of the list. The other that is a really big one is Waverly Hills, we really want to go there.
Oh you haven't been to Waverly Hills yet?
No and we really want to get in there. Oh! The Trans Allegheny Asylum is one that we really want to get into. That place is crazy. Have you heard of the Bryce Hospital down in Tuscaloose, Alabama?
I don't think so.
You have to look that place up, that's one where we really want to go.
What is it exactly?
It's an old mental hospital that they've actually condemned so no one can get into it anymore, but it is crazy. Really crazy.
Any others?
Oh, Graceland! Graceland, man. You've got a cemetery out back and Elvis died on the pot in the inside! You can't get no better than that! (Laughs) It's the perfect location. We have to go there soon.

WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today said that in a time of economic downturn, American workers must be a top priority for American companies. Grassley reiterated those words after he sent a letter to Microsoft urging the company to make efforts to retain qualified American workers during the recently announced lay-offs.
Microsoft employs thousands of people through the H-1B visa program. This temporary work visa program allows American companies and universities to employ temporary foreign guest workers who have the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in a job category that is considered by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to be a "specialty occupation." The purpose of the h-1b program is to help companies hire foreign guest workers on a temporary basis when there is not a sufficient qualified American workforce to meet those needs. However, the program is not intended to replace qualified American workers.
In October 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released an internal report that found the H-1B program has more than a 20 percent violation rate. The fraud identified in the report included jobs not located where employers claimed, H-1B visa holders not being paid the prevailing wage, forged documents, fraudulent degrees, and shell businesses. In one instance the H-1B position described by the employer was "business development analyst." However, it turned out that the H-1B visa holder would be working at a laundromat doing laundry and maintaining washing machines.
Grassley has been a leader in the effort to improve the H-1B visa program. In the 110th Congress, he introduced a comprehensive H-1B and L visa reform bill with Senator Dick Durbin that would give priority to American workers and crack down on unscrupulous employers who deprive qualified Americans of high-skill jobs. He has also asked questions of both American and foreign based companies about their use of the H-1B visa program.
Here is a copy of the text of Grassley's letter
January 22, 2009
Mr. Steve Ballmer
Microsoft Corporation
One Microsoft Way
Redmond , WA 98052-6399
Dear Mr. Ballmer:
I am writing to inquire about press reports that Microsoft will be cutting approximately 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months. I understand that the layoffs will affect workers in research and development, marketing, sales, finance, legal and corporate affairs, human resources, and information technology.
I am concerned that Microsoft will be retaining foreign guest workers rather than similarly qualified American employees when it implements its layoff plan. As you know, I want to make sure employers recruit qualified American workers first before hiring foreign guest workers. For example, I cosponsored legislation to overhaul the H-1B and L-1 visa programs to give priority to American workers and to crack down on unscrupulous employers who deprive qualified Americans of high-skilled jobs. Fraud and abuse is rampant in these programs, and we need more transparency to protect the integrity of our immigration system. I also support legislation that would strengthen educational opportunities for American students and workers so that Americans can compete successfully in this global economy.
Last year, Microsoft was here on Capitol Hill advocating for more H-1B visas. The purpose of the H-1B visa program is to assist companies in their employment needs where there is not a sufficient American workforce to meet their technology expertise requirements. However, H-1B and other work visa programs were never intended to replace qualified American workers. Certainly, these work visa programs were never intended to allow a company to retain foreign guest workers rather than similarly qualified American workers, when that company cuts jobs during an economic downturn.
It is imperative that in implementing its layoff plan, Microsoft ensures that American workers have priority in keeping their jobs over foreign workers on visa programs. To that effect, I would like you to respond to the following questions:
* What is the breakdown in the jobs that are being eliminated? What kind of jobs are they? How many employees in each area will be cut?
* Are any of these jobs being cut held by H-1B or other work visa program employees? If so, how many?
* How many of the jobs being eliminated are filled by Americans? Of those positions, is Microsoft retaining similar ones filled by foreign guest workers? If so, how many?
* How many H-1B or other work visa program workers will Microsoft be retaining when the planned layoff is completed?
My point is that during a layoff, companies should not be retaining H-1B or other work visa program employees over qualified American workers. Our immigration policy is not intended to harm the American workforce. I encourage Microsoft to ensure that Americans are given priority in job retention. Microsoft has a moral obligation to protect these American workers by putting them first during these difficult economic times.

It"s the "HOME" edition. Well, you do have identical logons on both

Disable the "web(dav) client service". XP otherwise tries to connect to
another pc first using that, and waits for the timeout.

Individual "private" folders are not configured for sharing. Guess in XP
home there is no "privileges" setting available to correct this, except you
logon as "the" administrator which only is possible ("HOME") in safe mode.

When it comes to advanced networking or when you want to (play with) domain
logons, you have to bite the bullet and upgrade to PRO, unless you want
clumsy workarounds everywhere. Or use Linux .

The Bluest Eye
by Toni Morrison
The Bluest Eye Appearances Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
They lived there because they were poor and black, and they stayed there because they believed they were ugly. Although their poverty was traditional and stultifying, it was not unique. But their ugliness was unique. No one could have convinced them that they were not relentlessly and aggressively ugly. (1.3.1)
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the Breedloves have internalized the belief that they are ugly.
Quote #5
It had occurred to Pecola some time ago that if her eyes...were different, that is to say, beautiful, she herself would be different." (1.3.18)
Pecola believes that physical appearance can alter one's psychological condition.

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Kyle Howard was born in Loveland, Colo., today in 1978. This birthday guy starred as Bobby Newman on "My Boys" and currently appears in a recurring role on "Royal Pains." He also played the recurring role of Evan on "The Drew Carey Show" and guest-starred on "Love Bites" and "Numb3rs." On the big screen, Howard has appeared in films such as "Orange County," "Townies" and "House Arrest."
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Lions and tigers and bears, oh, my! It is Friday the 13th and most of them are fairly benign. In this instance, however, anything you begin of importance will probably end up causing complications.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can't be two places at once. Prioritize and make sure that you tackle the most important task first. Social and business events may be in conflict. Use good judgment to strike a happy medium.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You or your most influential companions are prone to wishful thinking. Don't let your desire for love and admiration interfere with the important tasks on your calendar. Give a new hookup a rain check.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can't tell what tomorrow will bring. Since the future is uncertain, you should hold onto whatever security you have. This is a poor time to make major changes or to gamble with your financial future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is not all just a superstition. The truth is that you could have bad luck if you walk under a ladder or fail to meet deadlines. Organize and follow the schedule to avoid confusion and falling behind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you are in too much of a hurry to make a buck, you end up counting on luck. Even if this weren't Friday the 13th, it would be an especially bad to sign a contract of any importance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The perfectionist in you can easily find fault with those who are nearest and dearest. Be understanding with loved ones; overlook their shortcomings rather than offer criticisms that cause hurt feelings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What you see isn't always what you get. In an effort to appear amenable, you could easily mislead others as to your true intentions. Avoid signing agreements, buying on credit or making investments.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Those who voice false compliments make good strangers. Someone may smile and blow happy smoke in your direction to mask a hidden agenda. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your crystal ball is clouded. While it is off at the cleaners, hold off on making irrevocable decisions or pushing your luck. This isn't a good time to make major purchases, promises or sudden changes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Carbon-based life forms need one another to survive. You might think that a valuable relationship has entered a twilight zone. Don't get engaged in confrontations; problems will pass soon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you are misled, you can make a mistake. You might think that some things just have to be true because there is no other alternative in view. Hold off on making decisions that involve money or relationships.
IF APRIL 13 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Right now, you have the wisdom to plan ahead to avoid the pitfalls that lie ahead in May, late July and August. Just because you fear you are reaching your sell-by date doesn't mean you should accept a relationship or a job that isn't first rate or completely satisfying. Because your opportunities are limited, however, you won't be able to shake off responsibilities. Hold off on forming new relationships and making irrevocable decisions or changes until September. You will be blessed by greater opportunities for success in December and January.

By Chris Mohr, Ph.D.
I just got back from a trip to NJ with my daughter, Ella.
I was there speaking. She came with me, stayed with my parents, and when I was done each day Id go and hang with them, have dinner, and head back to my hotel.
It was a blast. She had fun with her grandparents, and I got to play with some of my childhood toys.
I digress
On the way back from our NJ mission we were eating in the airport and I overheard a person at the table next to us telling the person he was with about the BEST protein source out there.
I wasnt paying attention, until I heard this statement. (From what I gathered, he was trying to get the other person involved in a multi-level marketing or pyramid sales firm like Amway or Herbalife).
As we sat and enjoyed our food -- an omelet, some fruit, smoke salmon and oatmeal their conversation to our left got me thinking.
About Chris Mohr

Dr. Mohr often appears on TV as a nutrition expert, provided nutrition expertise for the NY Times bestseller, LL Cool Js Platinum Workout and worked closely with fitness celebrity Denise Austin on the nutrition component of her latest book.

He earned his Master of Science degree in Nutrition from the University of Massachusetts, and his doctorate in exercise physiology from the University of Pittsburgh. Hes also a Registered Dietitian and Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics.
What IS the best source of protein?
Eggs are often touted as such.
But lets take a step back for a minute. All proteins are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
Some proteins like animal based protein have a nice variety of all essential amino acids and are called complete proteins.
Of course, you cant go wrong with wild salmon, which abounds in healthful omega-3s and vitamin D as well as complete protein ... while beef, chicken, turkey, and other animal meats also provide complete protein and essential vitamins and minerals.
Plant proteins are usually missing one or more amino acids and are called incomplete proteins.
When I first started school it was taught that incomplete proteins had to be eaten at the same meal to count more recently, research proved that the timing didnt matter as much as the overall variety within each day.
The key is that you are eating a variety of different sources; each is unique and has advantages.
Back to the point about eggs. Eggs are in fact a fantastic source of complete protein. Theyre also one of the cheapest forms of protein, gram for gram, giving you the most bang for your buck.
The other message Ive been saying for a while when it comes to different protein choices, when it comes to animals and fish is, The fewer legs the better.
In other words, wild fish, then chicken and turkey, followed by beef and pork.
Sure, all are great and all have different nutrient profiles, but the ones with less legs are traditionally a bit leaner. Thats a good thing.
And tossing in some vegetarian based proteins throughout the week is smart, too:
Nuts and nut butters
Whole grains, like quinoa and barley
We try to do at least a couple of vegetarian dinners each week and mix it up with fish and the occasional chicken, turkey, and other sources.
Variety is key!

RingTV.com: But isn't that a contrasting philosophy to the times during your middleweight title defense when you took low purses to retain your belts?
BH: I'm a guy who never tried to duck a mandatory even when the money was nothing because at that particular time, having the belts was bigger than me at the time. I needed to have a string-hold in the division so they wouldn't forget about me. But I'm not in that same situation now.
At the end of the day, I didn't give anything away in defending those championship belts. I defended those middleweight belts 20 times. I'm a veteran in following the rules of the sanctioning bodies, and I have the track
I remember I fought William Joppy, and Don King came in with a purse bid that was very low. I remember it was something like under $200,000. But I had to do that back then. So I went in there and I beat him real bad. I mean, Joppy looked like the Elephant Man when it was all said and done.
RingTV.com: So if it comes down to it, would you be willing to pursue a bigger fight if it means having to vacate the WBC belt?
BH: It's business, so, absolutely. I can't be a business man in one situation and then be stupid on the others. But I also understand that without the belt, even with all of those big fights out there, I could also be shooting myself in the foot.
So I will try to fight Dawson unless it does not make business sense. I might not have to do that [vacate the belt,] but if I do, then I think that the WBC will understand that, of course. If nobody else understands that, then that's on them.
Because it's business. It's common sense. If you've got a $5 million fight out there, are you're going to fight for a belt for only $1 million if you're 47 years old like I am? Plus, you know, I've got about 15 belts at home that I can go and look at.
RingTV.com: Do you believe that you've expanded your fanbase?
BH: Yes I do. I've got Mexican fans more than ever. I've got Puerto Rican fans more than ever. I've got Puerto Rican and Mexican fans up the whazoo.
I have a lot of fans. I have multi-cultural fans. I've got a lot of love in D.C. But then, D.C. has been behind me for years.
RingTV.com: Did you experience that when you were in Washington, D.C., for the Lamont Peterson–Amir Khan fight on Dec. 10?
I know that there is going to be a time when I'm going to count on them and I'm going to need them to come down and to see the living legend. They can tell their friends, "Hey, I watched him fight here," or, "I watched him fight there." Stuff that I heard from my uncles and friends about Muhammad Ali. Stuff that I heard about Joe Louis.
I remember my former trainer, Bouie Fisher, telling me how Ray Robinson fought at Champs Gym. I want people to say that about Bernard Hopkins, that he dictated his own destiny to a point where his fight career brought significant change.

Priority Registration is assigned by the number of units and Matriculation Components completed.
The Matriculation Components are as follows:
State mandated regulations (e.g. EOPS, DSPS). In addition the college may identify other special populations.
The schedule is on-line. Check the Academic Calendar for Registration dates.
We welcome you to attend Porterville College! Start by completing the Porterville College Admissions Application on-line, it will take up to 24 hours to process your application and don't forget to submit the signature page. You may begin the Matriculation process by making an appointment for Assessment and Orientation through the Counseling Center at 559.791.2329. Once you have completed the first steps you are ready to make an appointment with a counselor! If you have any questions, the counseling center is ready to assist you!
Students receive a priority registration number based on the total number of units completed and the completion of the matriculation requirements of assessment, orientation, and seeing a counselor. Students who have fewer units or may not have completed all of the matriculation requirements will receive a lower priority number. In addition, by law the college is required to grant priority registration to military veterans and students in the EOPS and DRC programs.
If you have more units completed than your friend, but you have a later registration time, it is probably because your friend completed the matriculation requirements of taking the assessment, attending orientation and seeing a counselor and you did not. Or, your friend might be a military veteran or in the EOPS or DRC programs which the college, by law, is required to grant priority registration to.
Yes. By law, the college is required to grant priority registration to military veterans, and students in the EOPS and DRC programs.
No. You can register any time after your registration day/time, but if you wait you are essentially giving up your priority registration time to another student. The longer you wait, the more likely the classes you want will be filled. You cannot, however, register before your scheduled registration day/time.
You can find your registration time by logging into "InsidePC" and then "Banner Self-Service" on the college website and follow the instructions to get to your registration day/time. A counselor can also assist you.
If you wait you are essentially giving up your priority registration time to another student, and the longer you wait the more likely the classes you want will be filled.
