Planting the Seeds for Indian Wine
I'd heard rumors of a fledgling wine industry in India before I attended the Jaipur Literary Festival this past week, but my first encounter, with a 2007 Chenin Blanc from the Nashik Valley at the Trident Hotel in New Delhi, was not encouraging.
Things picked up in Jaipur when I encountered the wines of Sula and met the proprietor, Rajeev Samant, a Stanford-educated native of Mumbai who caught the wine bug while he was working for Oracle in the Silicon Valley.
When I met him he was busy chatting away with his pals Vikram Seth and Jade Jagger. The shaven headed, energetic Samant looks an awful lot like novelist Junot Diaz, who was also attending the festival.
Mr. Samant's family had a twenty acre farm in the Nashik Valley, east of Mumbai, where they grew various crops including teak, roses and grapes. "Farmers had been growing table grapes there for years," he said, "and I thought, why can't we make fine wine here?" Samant eventually persuaded Kerry Damskey, the Davis-trained winemaker for Zellerbach in Sonoma, to join him in this unlikely venture.
Not the least challenging aspect of viticulture in this part of the world is the fact of the summer monsoons, which necessitates pruning the vines back twice in order to prevent them from blossoming and bearing fruit just in term for the torrential rains. Fortunately the raisin farmers had already developed the basic techniques for tricking the vines into flowering in September, after the rains. Harvest comes in February.
They planted Sauvignon Blanc in 1997 and later planted Chenin Blanc, which has become their biggest seller in India. While the Sauvignon Blanc is vinified in a light, dry style, the Chenin is made with significant residual sugar which makes it a good partner for spicy curries.
Eventually they started planting red grapes on the hillsides above the plains where the whites were thriving. Sula makes a very tasty Cabernet Shiraz blend, on the Australian model (which is actually more Shiraz then cab). The 2010 is a great deal at about $11 retail. Even better is a reserve Shiraz called Dindori, which has enough bold fruit to stand up to all but the spiciest lal maas, the lamb curry specialty of Jaipur.
Samant has played a large part in creating a market for wine where none existed before, cranking up his production by contracting the neighboring farmers in Nashik to grow grapes for him and selling everything he makes. Sula would represent good value regardless of the competition, but given the hundred and fifty percent tariff on foreign wines in India, it's no wonder that Sula is selling so well.
Grover, in the state of Karnataka, is also making some respectable wines with the help of Michel Rolland, the ubiquitous Bordeaux consultant.
This country is a long way from becoming a wine destination, but given the progress that Sula's made in just over a decade, the future looks brighter.

When students are looking for a college education that won't break the bank, they often think first of public universities. PayScale has ranked hundreds of public colleges by alumni salaries so that you can research how successful alumni of public colleges and universities are and how much they earn, and apply at the top public colleges with the highest-paid alumni.
The Best U.S. College By Salary Potential
This year, the college with the highest alumni salaries is one you have probably never heard of: SUNY Maritime College in New York State. Home to 1,601 students, SUNY Maritime is the perfect recipe for high alumni salaries because it has both strong business and engineering programs. As a result, SUNY Maritime graduates enjoy the highest median salaries in both the early career salary and mid-career salary categories when we include alumni who only earn a bachelor's degree. When we include alumni who go on to earn graduate degrees, SUNY Maritime still takes the top spot for mid-career salary, but falls to eighth for early career salary.
Military Schools Have High Earning Potential
Military schools top the list for schools with the highest-earning grads in the civilian workforce. The United States Naval Academy (USMA) at Annapolis and United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point come in first and second for both early career salaries for all alumni ($82,900 and $82,800, respectively) and second and third place for median mid-career salaries if alumni with graduate degrees are not included. If military grads need another thing to be proud of, they should definitely take pride in their earning potential.
Other military colleges that produce high earners are the United States Air Force Academy and the Virginia Military Academy. It is important to note that we do not include salary data for alumni serving actively in the military, as that is standardized. Students at military colleges get valuable experience as active military members, so it makes sense that they then enter the workforce at higher salary grades than civilian grads.
Public Engineering Colleges Produce High Earners
There are many public colleges and universities with strong engineer programs that rank highly on PayScale's College Salary Report. The Georgia Institute of Technology is recognized nationally for its excellent engineering programs, and as a result ranks in the top 10. The University of California at Berkeley produces high earners too, even though it does not focus exclusively on engineering.
Public schools that graduate a large percentage of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors tend to have alumni with high earning potential, especially for early career salaries, because graduates with those skills are immediately in high demand in our current economy. Even schools that most people have never heard of, like the Colorado School of Mines (97 percent STEM degrees) and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (92 percent STEM degrees) have the highest percentage of STEM graduates and they both have median early career alumni salaries over $60,000.

'Breaking Bad' Finale Draws Record 10.3 Million Viewers
About 10.3 million viewers tuned into AMC last night for the finale of "Breaking Bad" and the send-off of one of TV's most memorable antiheroes, Walter White. Unsurprisingly, it marked a ratings record for the series, which racked up 6.6 million total viewers last Sunday.
The finale was Sunday's biggest TV conversation piece on Twitter, generating 1.5 million tweets, about three times more than the NFL match-up up NBC, according to SocialGuide. Facebook says 3 million users sounded off about the finale, posting 5.5 million "interactions." (By comparison, the MTV VMAs amassed more gab, with 23 million interactions from 9 million Facebook users.)
(Spoilers ahead)
Many "Breaking Bad" fans exulted in the way "Breaking Bad" concluded: All loose ends were tied up! And Walt vanquished his foes, some with a remote-controlled machine gun! Meanwhile, some critics felt a little let down: All those loose ends were too neatly tied up. And Walt sort of won? With a remote-controlled machine gun?
I. Marlene King, executive producer of the hit series "Pretty Little Liars," sided with fans who rooted for Walter despite his awful deeds, saying in an email to us, "I desperately wanted the show to end ten seconds earlier. I thought Walt was getting ready to cook, but I'm respectful of the choice to have the character die. The antihero stayed one step ahead of everyone until his last heartbeat. RIP Walter White!"
Debate about the finale won't erode consensus about the Emmy-winning show's record of top-notch storytelling. The grim (and occasionally hilarious) drama will also be remembered for its success as one of the first sleeper hits of the Netflix era. As word-of-mouth praise built the show's momentum, along with catch-up viewing via streaming and other methods, the show's ratings gradually approached–if never quite matched–its high level of critical acclaim.
In season one, the series averaged 1.3 million viewers (including live and DVR viewing within seven days), according to Nielsen. That figure climbed steadily, hitting an average 2.9 million last year (for the first half of the fifth season) and peaking with about 8 million viewers per episode during this year's final eight-episode run.
To paraphrase the most telling line of "Baby Blue," the Badfinger song that closed the show for good, we guess "Breaking Bad" got what it deserved.
Watch a video montage of some of "Breaking Bad's" more lighthearted moments here:

Bin Laden Photos Too Sensitive, DOJ Argues
You can't have 'em.
That, in effect, is what the government asserted in a court brief yesterday, responding to a suit that seeks the release of photos of the deceased Osama bin Laden.
News organizations and other advocacy groups have pushed for months for the photos, citing citing the Freedom of Information Act.
Justice Department attorneys said the CIA has located 52 photographs and video recordings of bin Laden during the May raid that killed him, but the DOJ contends the images are classified and being withheld from the public to avoid inciting violence against Americans overseas and compromising secret systems and techniques used by the CIA and the military, according to this AP report. (Here's an earlier LB post on the hunt for the Osama photos.)
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative group that had sued to force disclosure of the images, issued a statement accusing the Obama Administration of making a "political decision" to keep the bin Laden imagery secret, AP reports. "We shouldn't throw out our transparency laws because complying with them might offend terrorists," he said.
Politico's Under the Radar blog notes that the DOJ's filing yesterday included declarations from Pentagon and CIA officials about the sensitivity of the images, one of which allegedly depicts a gunshot wound to bin Laden's head. But the filing also cited President Obama's comments on the issue during a "60 Minutes" interview in May, Under the Radar reports.
"It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies," Obama said. "We don't need to spike the football."

Lubricants – One Bad and Lots of Good
Filed under: blister care, Foot Care Products, Health, Sports
This post came about because of a Backpacker magazine article about skills. One of the items was about endurance and was for, "Blistered feet during a high-mileage trek."
The tip was to, "… protect against hot spots by applying a skin lubricant like Vaseline to high-friction areas…"
I'm sorry, but I think Vaseline is a bad choice.
When I ran my first ultra, back around 1982, there was not a huge choice in lubricants so Vaseline was commonly used. But I learned very quickly that its stickiness helped it collect dust and grit, sand and dirt, and other things that found their way into your socks and shoes. Once absorbed into my socks, it also became stiff. I looked for an alternative and discovered Bag Balm, which I used for years.
Over the years, Vaseline has been surpassed by lubricants that are slicker without attracting "stuff' that can cause hot spots and blisters, that last longer, that don't cake up on your socks, and that are much more effective.
So, here's my choice for a bad lubricant: Vaseline.
And here are my choices for good lubricants:
- Tube
- Solid Stick
- Pocket Slick
- The Original Anti-Chafe Balm
- FootGlide Foot Formula
- Ant-Chafe with SPF 25 Balm
- BodyGlide Anti-Chafe for Her
- Liquefied Powder
- WarmFX Anti-Pain Balm
- Powder
- Roll-On
- Towelettes
- Anti-Chafe Stick
- Anti-Chafe Stick, Sensitive Formula
Hydropel Sports Ointment
Many of these are available through ZombieRunner. Click on "Anti-chafing & Skin Care." I you are looking for a new lubricant, or want to try one of these, check them out through ZombieRunner.

Foot Care Expectations
Filed under: blister care, Foot Care, Sports
Lets talk about expectations for foot care at races. I like this subject because being prepared is important. It can make my work easier and likewise that of everyone helping with medical and foot care at races. This coming weekend is Western States and there will be a lot of runners needing help with their feet.
Over the years I have seen everything at 100-mile races. Runners with holes in their socks or socks so worn you can see through the material, severe Athlete's Foot, long and untrimmed toenails, huge calluses, no gaiters, the use of Vaseline as a lubricant, the use of Band-Aids on blisters, existing injuries that have not healed, shoes that should have been tossed out, huge blisters caused by not treating hot spots, and lots more.
I see runners with crews that manage everything for them – including foot care. These are typically runners who have experience in longer races. They also seem to have some degree of foot care expertise. They will come through an aid station and meet their crew and all is well. If they need foot care, they have the supplies and they or their crew knows how to use the materials. They are prepared.
Other runners are less prepared. They might have crews, but they don't have the foot care supplies, much less the expertise in how to do what they needed. They count on someone being there to fix their feet.
Many of these runners expect a lot from the podiatrity staff – sometimes, they want a miracle. There are four issues to get past. First, many times there are no "official" podiatrity people at the aid station. No podiatrist anyway. Second, what they get is someone who is maybe a nurse, paramedic, EMT, or even a full-fledged MD, who is volunteering as the aid station's medical person. Third, often this person(s) has limited skills in fixing feet. And finally, fourth, often they have limited supplies.
So what do you get? You get a person who really wants to help but may be hindered by their limited skills and resources. Don't fault them if the patch doesn't work or it feels wrong. You might try and give them directions on what to do – with limited success.
What's wrong here? Your expectations are wrong. You cannot expect every race to have podiatrity people at every aid station, with supplies to fix hundreds of feet. Some races have medical staff while other races have none. A majority of races do not have podiatrist on hand. Is it their job to provide it? Only if they advertise such aid.
This means you should be prepared at any race you enter, to have the foot care supplies and knowledge to patch your own feet – or have crew that knows how. Does that sounds harsh? Maybe so, but you entered the race. You spent money on travel, a crew, food, new shoes, lodging, new shorts and a top, water bottles, and more. But did you spend a few bucks on preparing a good foot care kit?
Why take a chance that I or anyone else is there to fix your feet? I find lots of runners who have my book (Fixing Your Feet) but I am amazed at the large numbers who haven't heard of it.
Many of us don't mind fixing your feet. In fact I love to do it. But we can't be everywhere – at all aid stations, at all hours, and at all races. Can you do me a favor? Tell some else about Fixing Your Feet and this blog. Make their life a bit easier and help them finish their race with happy feet.
I'll be in the medical area at the Michigan Bluff aid station. In back of the scales and food tables. If you need me, I'll be there.

I have held a pretty firm position on moleskin for many years – I don't like it and I don't use it.
Here are my reasons. It doesn't stick. It doesn't shape to the foot's curves. And it's too thick.
I have no objection to other athletes using it, but I don't touch the stuff.
Several years ago, I worked provided foot care at the 3-day Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk in San Francisco. They had a pretty good supply of powder and Vaseline – and boxes of moleskin. Everyone sat around and cut the stuff into small, medium and large ovals. Hundreds of moleskin ovals. It didn't take long for the rest of the medical staff to figure out the stuff sucked. They quickly learned that I had my own supply of tapes – and they wanted some.
Well, even an old dog can learn new tricks. Pamela Cress, the VP of Marketing for ProFoot (New York), emailed me about trying a pair of their insoles. I agreed and when the package arrived, inside I found a packet of their "special" moleskin. It's called "VelvetexTM Moleskin.
Reluctantly I took it out of the packet. I my mind, it was moleskin – pure and simple. But I wanted to give it a fair test. I cut an oval, peeled off the backing, and applied it to my heel, right over clean skin without any tape adhesive. It stuck extremely well and stayed on for two days. It's not thick and is very soft so it formed itself to the curves of the side of my heel.
This evening I took another piece and put it on my heel and a piece of a different manufacture's moleskin on the other heel. The ProFoot moleskin was superior and stuck better than the other brand. The ProFoot moleskin is shown in photo #1. It is softer than any other moleskin I have seen. It's stickiness is better than everyone else's too. After wearing it for two days I found it did not stick to my sock. It stayed in place.
The other brand is shown in photo #2. It's much coarser in feel and easily comes off. If you look closely, you'll see the far left edge lifting off the skin. That comes from it's inability to form to the curves of the foot.
Here's what ProFoot's webpage says about their moleskin: "Velvetex is a unique breathable material that is softer and more durable than ordinary moleskin, it also performs better under pressure. The unique Microfiber texture moves with your foot to help reduce friction, further protecting your sore spots. It soothes, relieves, and prevents blisters, calluses, corns, sore spot, and red tender skin. It's also latex free."
I can honestly say I like ProFoot's Velvetex Moleskin. I will be purchasing some to keep in my foot care kit for cases where I want something thicker than tape – probably for the balls of the feet and heels. I will use Compound of tincture of benzoin to help it stick even better. ProFoot has a winner in their moleskin. You can easily add a strip to your kit.
The Velvetex Moleskin is packaged with two 3.25" x 5" sheets to a pack. The ProFoot web page has a button to buy from Amazon, Walgreens, and other online websites. Amazon has it for $3.11 per pack.
Fair disclosure: ProFoot sent me their Moleskin to test. I have no financial investment in the product or company.
A Lesson about Lubricants
Filed under: Foot Care, Foot Care Products
A few months ago, received an email asking if I could comment on the use of Vaseline or petroleum covered with powder. Cas Camara, of Florida, was going to run the Brazil 135 and was looking for feedback.
I responded: "Vaseline is the old-time standard for a lubricant-but it has problems. The problem is that it is sticky and attracts grit, gust, sand, and whatever the athlete comes in contact with. It tends to also cake up over time and can almost harden over time on socks, shorts, or other materials. Newer lubricants are less sticky and are much slicker and better at lessening the effects of friction. Putting powder on a lubricant can be done but usually athletes use one of the other. I have only seen a few use both. Powder may cause the lubricant, especially Vaseline, to cake up."
Cas emailed me later and said, "I concluded the race without any foot problem by applying a mix of lanolin and Vaseline several times a day. I wore an Injinji sock under a Thorlo sock with loads of powder in between."
Then a few days ago I received another email, which in part, said: "…it seems that the socks I used with just a basic Vaseline smearing were not the right tools to use, so it's back to the store I go to get some different socks and to find the right solution for me and my feet."
The point here is that Vaseline is still used by many athletes – but in my opinion, it has more faults than value. To repeat what I said earlier in this article, Vaseline and other petroleum-based lubricants are sticky and attract grit, gust, sand, and whatever the athlete comes in contact with. They tend to cake up over time and can almost harden over time on socks, shorts, or other materials.
When you have such great products such as BodyGlide, SportsSlick, SportsShield, and Hydropel, why use an inferior lubricant? Use what will work best on your feet. The newer lubricants are proven as longer lasting, better bonding with your skin, they do not cake up in your socks, and a few excel at repelling moisture. The use of Vaseline on feet is just as bad as wearing cotton socks.
If you want an easy one-stop shopping experience for all four of the the above products, check out Zombierunner.com. Click on Foot Care and then Lubricants.
Lubricant or Foot Powder?
Many athletes have been raised on the common belief that one of the best ways to prevent blisters is to use a lubricant. The use of a lubricant has been proven to reduce friction which causes hot spots, blisters, and after prolonged friction, calluses.
Vaseline has been used for years but is no longer the best choice. It's greasy, can cake up on socks, and tends to attract grit particles that can become an irritant and themselves cause blisters. Better choices are newer products like BodyGlide, Bag Balm, Blistershield Roll-on, and SportsSlick. Many of these are petroleum-free, waterproof, non-sticky, and hypoallergenic.
For athletes in conditions where their feet are exposed to extended periods of moisture, there are several lubricants that are better than any others. Hydropel and Friction Zone are advanced skin protectants. These are water and sweat-resistant.
Use a lubricant where you need it—between the toes, on the balls of the feet, or on the heels. If you have a history of blisters, you'll know where it should be applied.
Some people, however, use a lubricant and still have problems. If this is you, a good idea is to try using a powder. Lubricants will soften the skin and for some, this makes the feet more sensitive to the stresses of walking, running, hiking, etc. In some cases, you might even feel the weave of the socks as an irritant. The softened skin can lead to painful feet, and in some cases, even blisters.
There are some great powders to try. Zeasorb and Odor-Eater's Foot Powder are both great super-absorbent and will not cake up. Gold Bond is also a high-quality powder. A unique powder is Blistershield's Miracle Powder. Its super slick compound reduces friction better than any other powder while repelling moisture.
There are several tricks to using either a lubricant or powder. They need to be reapplied if your event lasts more then several hours, or if you go through a lot of water or a lot of dirt or sand. Clean off the old coating before applying the new one. Shake the powder into your socks and then shake the socks to distribute the powder. If you are prone to athlete's foot, use an anti-fungal powder or lubricant.
Lubricants and powders are valuable tools in the war against blisters. Try one and if problems persist, try the other. They'll keep your feet happy.

Thursday, June 7, 2007, News 12 First at Five
AUGUSTA, Ga --- An arrest in the stabbing death of an Augusta woman. Police say they have her husband in custody and they have the murder weapon.
Sixty-one year old Charles Perez is accused of stabbing his wife to death, fifty-seven year old Deborah Perez. Police say it happened overnight inside their 2702 Richmond Hill Road home. Their daughter, Norah McKnight discovered her mother's body around nine o'clock this morning.
"It has got scary recently," says Katie Williams. She lives alone and doesn't get out much. Because she's older she relies on a security system to make her feel safe. "I just turn it on and go to bed," she says.
But on days like these she wonders if it's enough.
"Could they break the security and come in here after me?" she asks. "They could do it."
Just a few houses down from Katie's -- a homicide investigation. The body of her fifty-seven year old neighbor found stabbed to death inside her home.
"We do have a direction that this investigation is going toward and it's possibly domestic. We're not ruling that out at this point," he says.
So Katie waches as police question her neighbors. "It used to be quiet through here," she says. She doesn't even recognize her street anymore. "At night there are cars going up and down that road like you wouldn't believe," she says.
But this morning those cars had sirens. And that scares her. "You know you don't know whether you're going to get knocked in the head but you can't let it worry you. You've got to hope things will be alright."

Jury hears taped calls in game murder case
Published: Wednesday, August 3, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 3, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
RALEIGH -- Jurors heard two recorded telephone calls Tuesday made by a man charged with the deaths of a Marine lieutenant and his friend in the tailgate area of an N.C. State University football game last year.
The calls were made after Timothy Johnson was arrested for the Sept. 4 shootings during the university's season opening game at Carter-Finley Stadium.
In a call made at 5:23 a.m. on Sept. 5, Johnson asked his roommate, Napolean Grant Sanders, to remove guns and drugs from their apartment.
In a second call 20 minutes later, Johnson tells Sanders the trouble at the shooting site started with his brother, Tony Johnson, an assertion made in opening statements by both the prosecution and the defense.
Johnson, 23, is on trial for two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 2nd Lt. Brett Johnson Harman, a Camp Lejeune Marine, and Kevin M. McCann, his friend from Chicago. Both men were 23.
Johnson's brother faces the same charges at a later trial.
During testimony, Sanders said he and Johnson were cocaine-dealing partners. Sanders also talked about how he, the Johnson brothers and four other men committed a home invasion in which people were restrained with duct tape and robbed of drugs, cash and guns.
Those violent felonies make the brothers eligible for the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder.

And this thread can die a happy, satisfied death, having provided an opportunity for Fibinachi's artistry.
On topic — I think I get how they can use "don't be that feminist" without knowing that they're implying they don't hate all feminists. These are the same fools who think "don't be that guy" means all men are rapists.
I would rather agree with Emilygoddess that "don't be that feminist" is just glib recycling of an existing meme. It isn't meant to imply that some feminists are OK. It's not specifically meant to imply that all feminists are evil, either. The whole campaign seems such an "inside MRM" memefest I'd be surprised if they ever bother to print the posters.
As for "don't be that guy", I think the MRAs were mostly just vaguely annoyed at what was quite generic anti-rape campaign. Thus, their intuitive response was "don't be that girl", even though they couldn't decide whether it was a parody campaign or honest hand-wringing on false rape accusations. Only the pro-rape sentiment was clear.
Now, when this sentiment ws criticised, a lot of them backpedaled to "the original campaign implies that all men are rapists".
No it doesn't, it was pointed out.
Then, they backpedaled to "the original campaign implies that all rapists are men".
Yes, sorta, although that's probably not far from reality. And you could have made rape committed by women the focus of your own campaign, if you took it that seriously. Instead you focused on false accusers, whom, by the way, you implied are all women even though the original campaign mentioned also men as rape victims.
I live in Tooting and deeply hope sir-dictionary-stinkpoop does not.
As others have said, the tw word is gendered in the UK. Come on.
As for the posters, surely they should read 'having a vagina is no excuse for having opinions'. It doesn't really matter what these scary harridans are saying, the problem is that they're speaking at all. Just the sight of a grumpy woman is enough to get certain mens' hackles up. Which is adorable in a way.
Hi. This is kinda off topic, but latching onto comment idea.
Just reading the language stuff. I know this *technically* isn't a slur, but as a sex worker (and I can safely say that my SW friends feel the same way about this) that the word "prostitute" is awful for us.
Why? Because it is associated with crime, criminal behaviour and prosecution. It is a word used to lessen sex workers as human beings and make us essentially subhuman. No matter that is the "dictionary word" for sex work, it is a word that makes me physically ill when people use it continually when talking about me (because they talk ABOUT me, not to me – in some peoples minds sex workers are public property and don't deserve humanisation).
Sorry for the off shoot. Just was on a prominent mummy blogger in Australia who has been told multiple times the correct language, but she gleefully chooses to ignore and block comments that point this out. Because to her, we aren't human. Which really, is what a slur is meant to achieve.
Someone give Fibinachi a trophy; that was glorious.
I was wondering whereabouts you were at, hookergal! And I'm really glad you've chosen to weigh in; I don't know of any other sex workers on manboobz at the moment, and it's a line of work I don't know much about.
Those quotes aren't proof that men need rights, it's just feminists going about it the wrong way. Its just reverse sexism. I absolutely hate that feminism is characterized that way. The French fashion show where FEMEN members running on the catwalk topless anyone? That is the wrong way to do feminism. What should've been done is a press conference and not lift some model's skirt up.
wow, i just read so much bullshit
Abuse incubates the best rapists.
God spare your son from yourself.
Also, "Having a penis is no excuse for being a dick" But we could go with the non gender specific formulation and say "Having an anus is no excuse for being an asshole!"😉
Arielle, they were using a gendered slur as an insult and a claim that a certain gender has a monopoly on jerk behavior. By stripping out the gendered component, you're missing the whole point.
Unfortunately feminism does not have its heart in equality. It never did. Anyone who has studied American history in the early 1900's know that the early suffrage movement committed several acts of bigotry against black men and women. They fundamentally hijacked the civil rights movement when they found out that black men would have the right to vote and upset their white privilege. That was one of the main drivers for the early suffrage movement. And they climbed on the backs of African American women to achieve that. They supported Jim Crow laws blocking the rights of others. They even tried to block the passage of the 15th amendment that allowed black men to vote. Even after when a woman was largely responsible for the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920 allowing ALL women to vote (Frances Willard) – Alice Paul prominent feminist worked hand in hand with people like Howard Smith to suppress black women from having that right until only recently with the passage of the ERA. White privileged women were not dis-empowered back then – they were the ones that got the prohibition going and there were several influential organizations (like the highly powerful (Womans Christian Temperance Union) that give them significant powers. White women actually thought that they were morally superior to everyone else and they had to ban alcohol and other male activities. White men became afraid after the 19th and 20th amendments were passed (largely by the efforts of feminist Frances Willard). And they continuously contributed significantly to the oppression of African American citizens. To this day, African Americans remain the most oppressed group – and the silence of American feminists on this is deafening, considering the fact that they conned black women to help them a hundred years ago (1913 is a significant date) There are many quotes from Susan Anthony, Liz Stanton, Laura Clay, Frances Willard and more about their racist agenda.
For equality to prevail Feminism has to be dismantled and replaced by egalitarianism. Feminism is worse than bigotry, it is a hate virus that latches on to men's weakness to please women, it's about creating a privilege class while oppressing others, in several types of political and social settings, it has infiltrated academia, laws, and schools – and worse it was never about equality.

Belfast Highlights
Belfast is buzzing. Massive investment combined with the optimism engendered by the peace process have transformed Northern Ireland's capital into a boom town, and its old bombs and bullets reputation has given way to a new designer Belfast, typified by hip hotels such as TENsq and the Malmaison, elegant restaurants like Roscoff and Michael Deane, and the trendy boutiques that line Lisburn Rd.
There are, of course, still plenty of reminders of the Troubles, and the passions that have torn Northern Ireland apart over the decades still run deep.

"Love words, agonize over sentences. And pay attention to the world."
Susan Sontag: Pay attention to the world Review Guardian Unlimited Books -- here's a good preview of a book on Susan coming out in April. I'm not suggesting these are practices to which bloggers should subscribe, but this certainly does throw some light on how some of us find fun and fulfillment in working with words. Note the "unconventional proposition" from Doctor (not Doc) Johnson : "The chief glory of every people arises from its authors." Blog on.

Fashion Week's Plight in Australia
Sydney's fashion week, which starts today, is bigger than ever but not without its share of drama.
Two of Australia's leading designers, Dion Lee and Josh Goot, pulled out of the event at the last minute to concentrate on international collections to be presented later in the year.
"I think it's important that we consolidate our position rather than rush into a new collection," Mr. Goot said in a statement.
Their withdrawal is emblematic of the challenges facing Australia's apparel industry: While its fashion week is increasingly an international launchpad for local talent, the Aussie dollar and growing e-commerce market are forcing many of the country's biggest talents to focus on overseas business.
Australia's fashion-industry revenue is expected to grow a meager 0.5% to 12.1 billion Australian dollars (US$12.65 billion), according to market forecaster IBISWorld. Over the next five years, its annual growth is pegged at roughly 1.2%.
Fashion week is geared toward helping "our designers in taking their first export steps in highly competitive markets, such as the U.K. and U.S., and to also start exploring emerging markets," said Andrew Stoner, deputy premier of the New South Wales government, one of the event's partners.
Exhibiting at the show is an expensive undertaking in itself, with designers relying on sponsors to cover costs of up to A$60,000. Case in point: The show that attracted the most sponsorship last year, Little Joe Woman, is now in voluntary administration.

Two other suspects remain at large
Published: Friday, January 1, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 3:58 p.m.
HOUMA — A teenager is accused of taking part in the rape of a woman who authorities said was lured to an abandoned Daniel Turner Court trailer last week and attacked by three men.
Rico Moultrie, 18, 932 East St., Houma, was charged Wednesday afternoon with aggravated rape. He remained at the Terrebonne Parish jail Thursday in lieu of $1 million bond.
Officers say they expect to arrest two other men suspected of participating in the alleged rape, said Houma Police Sgt. Dana Coleman. Coleman refused to identify the remaining suspects because officers are still in the process of obtaining arrest warrants. He said they are near Moultrie's age.
The teenager is the second to be arrested in connection with the alleged rape.
Shamika Sneeze, 25, is charged with principal to aggravated rape hours after police accused her of aiding the men.
Sneeze, who is homeless, and the men encountered the alleged victim on East Street, police said. Sneeze is accused of helping get the woman to the trailer, where the men are suspected of forcing her inside and raping her.
The attack happened about 2:30 a.m., police said. The alleged victim called police from a Shop Rite on Grand Caillou Road.
Sneeze remained at the Terrebonne Parish jail Thursday in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Detectives identified Moultrie as a suspect by matching statements taken from the alleged victim and witnesses who saw him in the area, Coleman said. Moultrie was arrested without incident near the Daniel Turner Trailer Park Wednesday afternoon.
The victim's name is not being released because of the sexual nature of the crime. Coleman said she did not live in the Daniel Turner Trailer Court, nor did she live on East Street.
The investigation is ongoing. If you have information, call the Houma Police detectives bureau at 873-6371.

I have stage 4 lung cancer and after only two weeks I am feeling really good. Dont let the price put you off. This is a quality product.
I bought this just to try a new reishi supplement and was surprised how noticeable the effects were in such a short period of time. Don't be put off by the price, it being cheap doesn't mean it is not good.

I'm allergic to cats, and I have eight of them at home. This preparation helped me remove the unpleasant symptoms and that I only take one tablet a day. I'm sure I'll order again. Thank you!
Looks like its not extracted

I usually love reishi. And i feel amazing when i take reishi. It really helps with my asthma. With this product the effects are not very big. Maby i can feel a little something..... Maby im just imagining. I think the problem is that this product has not been extracted. I recommend four sigma foods, and dragon herbs products. And take allways on the empty stomac with some hot tea.
Yet another one of many
Posted by 5150795020290521197 on Dec 15, 2015
We have been taking Reishi for a number of months now and do not find them to be any more beneficial than the locally sourced product that we had been taking previously. Possibly they are more suited to a younger age group.
Cheap but low benefit
Posted by 5387788587363946406 on Oct 19, 2015
Benefitted from this initially, but then noticed hardly any effect except the more than occasional runny tummy. Did some in-depth research on Reishi: the mycelium is not traditionally used for therapeutic effects in Asian countries, but is really a Western concoction. Apparently it is mushroom spawn (white fluffy stuff) that is really easy to grow on rice (which is part of the ingredients) in polythene bags, not on wood. Also, apparently Reishi is meant to be extracted in order to be of benefit. This is just ground up mushroom mulch. The real effective Reishi costs 10X more. Reishi spore oil is the topmost quality available of this herb. That will hopefully be my next buy.

Financial security
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: these are the basic rights belonging to every human being according to our nation's Declaration of Independence. As civil rights movements come to fruition, economic advancement and financial security become more of a reality for its people. For people with disabilities, however, financial security is still a struggle.
Financial security starts with education, and real employment opportunities and experiences. People with disabilities should no longer be exploited, or segregated, but instead should be valued for their workforce contributions. Economic advancement comes with public benefit systems that serve as a bridge to self-sufficiency, not a poverty limit under which individuals must make ends meet. Economic freedom brings choices and opportunities.

The origins of Black History Month are found in the scholarship of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1912. In 1915 Woodson established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History). A year later, he founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History and in 1926 initiated the celebration of "Negro History Week" as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of Black people throughout American history. He chose the second week of February in order to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. In addition, February marks the birth of W.E.B. DuBois and the death of Malcolm X, and the adoption of the 15th Amendment, giving Black Americans the right to vote.
All the events at Princeton Seminary in celebration of Black History Month are sponsored by the Seminary's student-led organization, the Association of Black Seminarians, and are open to the public. Click here for more in-depth information or contact Teddy Reeves.
Princeton Theological Seminary was founded in 1812 as the first seminary established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Celebrating its Bicentennial in 2012, it is the largest Presbyterian seminary in the country, with more than 500 students in six graduate degree programs.

NEW YORK – There are some streaks in sports that fans hold dear. Cal Ripken's streak of 2,632 games played, earning himself the title as baseball's ultimate iron man. Rocky Marciano's 49-0 run, cementing his place as one of the all-time greats in heavyweight boxing. Hell, even The Undertaker's 20-0 run at Wrestlemania merits a mention.
One of boxing's least publicized but nonetheless impressive streaks was Miguel Cotto's 7-0 record in Madison Square Garden appearances, keeping The Garden relevant even as it's title as "The Mecca of Boxing" became less accurate than nostalgic in the last decade. Entering Saturday night's bout, Austin Trout saw this fight as an opportunity to emerge from the obscurity of Las Cruces, N.M., by ending that streak, and that's exactly what he did.
Fighting in front of a highly-partisan pro-Cotto crowd waving Puerto Rican flags and blasting reggaeton music, the southpaw boxer-puncher pulled off the biggest win of his career, pounding out a unanimous decision victory over Cotto by the scores of 117-111 on two of the cards, and a too-wide 119-109 on the third, handing three-division titleholder his first loss in New York City.
After a highly-competitive first half of the fight, Trout (26-0, 14 knockouts) dominated the last five rounds, backing up the fading native of Caguas, Puerto Rico with his right jab and straight left cross. Cotto (37-4, 30 KOs), who lost a competitive decision to WBA 154-pound titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May, has now lost twice in a row for the first time in his career.
Cotto had the fight under control during the middle rounds, but as his left eye began to swell and Trout's straight lefts and right jabs began to back Cotto up in much the same method that Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao had in their conquests of Cotto, Trout's confidence began to swell, too.
"Fighting here, I was never comfortable because you never know what the judges are thinking," said Trout's trainer Louie Burke. "I thought we were winning, but there were times where Cotto had a good flurry and I didn't know if those were enough to win him the round or not."
Still, Cotto wasn't ready to concede defeat after the fight.
"If I agree or not, it doesn't matter. You can ask the crowd, they're gonna tell you," the 32-year-old veteran told Showtime post-fight interviewer Jim Gray when asked what he thought of the decision.
For Cotto, who has defeated the likes of Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito and Paulie Malignaggi during a pro career that will likely end in enshrinement in the International Boxing Hall of Fame, his run at the top rungs of the boxing ladder may be near.
Trout took the podium first at the post-fight press conference, dressed immaculately in a grey oxford shirt and dark gray jacket.
"I'm numb, I don't feel anything right now," Trout said, when asked how he was feeling at the moment. "It's gonna hit me probably tomorrow, or three days from now. Who knows?"
The 27-year-old Trout, who holds what the WBA calls its "regular" title, said he wants to unify all of the 154-pound title belts, beginning with WBC titleholder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who was at ringside to scout Cotto as a possible future opponent.
"'Canelo' should be next," said Trout, who won the "regular" belt with a victory over Alvarez's older brother Rigoberto. "He wants to fight May 5. I'd even take a fight in February, then come back in May."
Cotto, dressed in a pink shirt and light brown coat that contrasted with the heavy, flesh-colored bruising on his face, was more open at the press conference.
"I'm happy, I'm just a little disappointed with the decision. I have to continue, accept it and move forward," said Cotto, who promoted the show under his company Miguel Cotto Promotions alongside Golden Boy Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions.
Cotto said he wants to spend the holidays with his family and "take this time just to think. I'm not finished yet, still with boxing on my mind. I just want to rest with my family the rest of the year."
When asked about the scorecards, Cotto said: "I think it's an appreciation sport, judges can see the fight and give the fight to whoever they want. 119-109, 117-111 is too far (from) what the people (saw) and what I (brought) into the ring.
"I'm very grateful for all the support I get from New York and for that I always bring my best."
Despite the loss, Golden Boy President Richard Schaefer didn't completely close the door on Cotto-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who skipped the post-fight press conference.
"There's still a possibility that we could see a Canelo-Cotto fight," said Schaefer. "Trout is another possibility. Trout was not a very well known name and we were pleased with the turnout. If you can attract over 13,000 to a venue in December before the holidays, that just shows the strength of Miguel Cotto's fan base."
If Trout isn't able to secure the bout with Alvarez, there's an alternative that he sounds willing to accept.
"If there's any doubt whether I won or not, I'd love to do it again if we need to," said Trout.

Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency Program
Cornell Center for Animal Resources and Education (CARE) Residency Program in Laboratory Animal Medicine
The objective of this residency program is to train graduate veterinarians for a career in laboratory animal medicine, research, and service, by providing them with the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM). As outlined in the ACLAM Role Delineation Document, the resident will receive training to advance the humane care and responsible use of laboratory animals. These skills include:
- Prevent, diagnose, control, and treat disease
- Prevent, alleviate, and minimize pain and distress
- Provide research support, information, and services, including biomethodology, anesthesia and surgical methods, knowledge of animal welfare issues, and sources of information
- Develop knowledge of animal husbandry programs, including species-specific considerations, occupational health and safety concerns, regulations and standards pertaining to lab animal care and fiscal and personnel management, as well as principles of animal facility operations and facility design
- Execute IACUC Veterinary responsibilities, including knowledge of the pertinent laws and regulations, protocol review, and facility inspections
- Provide consultation on the appropriate care and use of animals, development of animal models, experimental techniques, and use of the 3 Rs in conducting research
- Design and conduct independent or collaborative research
This program has the advantage of being situated at a large campus with a diverse range of animal species and research interests. The College of Veterinary Medicine is a rich source of expertise in fields of both biomedical and veterinary research. A unique feature of this residency program is the agricultural animal component. In laboratory animal medicine, there is a dearth of veterinarians trained in the clinical practice and management of agricultural species, as well as being well-versed in the regulatory and compliance issues. This unique combination of training and expertise will help to fill a void in the laboratory animal medicine field.
The residency is structured to be a 3 year program. Throughout the program, residents will focus on clinical medicine and surgery, facility management, and regulatory and compliance issues. By the end of the first year, residents have had a chance to explore different options for pursuing a research interest. They will establish a research project under the mentorship of an experienced investigator that will allow the resident to be first author on a scientific paper. Successful completion of the residency will be determined by the faculty. A certificate of completion will be awarded to the resident. Opportunity also exists to obtain a Masters Degree in the field of Comparative Biomedical Sciences.

At Elan we hope that the World Snow Day will attract a large crowd of families and sports enthusiasts and that we will all meet again next year.

Burning WingsBurning Wings by NIGHTSTORM77
The demon smiled widely as he watched the angel fell into the hunters arms.
He did it; he finally killed the great Castiel. Score one for Hell.
Then he saw the green eyes that belonged to the hunter and his blood froze.
He knew of the relationship between the angel and the hunter; anyone with half a brain could see it.
As he looks at the human with his arms now burned with the wings of the angel, he knew he made a fatal mistake.
He remembers his boss Crowley saying that the Winchesters were denim-clad nightmares that everyone underestimated.
As he stared at the slowly rising Winchester stood up and charged at him with an angel blade, he knew.
Dean Winchester was going to bring hell on earth.

"Centurion" is a visceral and solid film which combines a simple, yet effective chase/revenge story with a stunning ancient Caledonian (Scottish) landscape and a well established Roman setting that puts such other efforts such as "King Arthur" or "The Lost Legion" to well deserved shame. I found the script to be extremely engrossing and clever in the way it makes the characters of the Ninth Legion and of the Picts that lived over two millennia ago so relatable to a modern audience. The acting of Michael Fassbender as Centurion Quintus Dias and Dominic West as General Titus Virilus are two truly strong male performances, yet shockingly it is the chillingly memorable performance by Olga Kurylenko of Bond girl fame ("Quantum of Solace") who really steals the show as the silent, violent Pict tracker who will horrifyingly stop at nothing in her arguably justifiable vendetta against the Romans, she is beauty and the beast all wrapped in one. The Scottish scenery used for "Centurion" is brilliant and evokes a haunting frontier land untouched by civilization. If those glorious city scenes of "Gladiator" were to depict Rome in all her imperial splendour, "Centurion" was made to depict the sheer unforgiving fringe of her empire by way of such unspeakable horrors. The staggering first battle scene is definitely my favourite scene in the film and comparisons made to the first battle scene in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" are not unfounded. The brutality of the Romans and the Picts fighting never once holds back as limbs, heads, guts and buckets of blood are shed during the movie; this comes as no surprise from director Neil Marshall, the creator of such respective genre cult classics "The Descent" and "Dog Soldiers", evidently he is a filmmaker who does not shy away from highlighting the true brutality and horrors of ancient warfare. Fans of "300″ and "Gladiator" will be well at home here and any action film fanatic with a passing interest in history will love the adrenaline fuelled fights and unrelenting chase sequences as this is a film that never gives the audience long to rest during the pursuit. "Centurion" is in my opinion the best ancient epic film since "Gladiator" and all who are on the fence or still haven't got round to see it should go and watch it. It is well worth your time and money.

President John F. Kennedy, flanked by Sen.

The president apologized, saying his wife was still getting ready. "Mrs. Kennedy is organizing herself," he said. "It takes longer. But, of course, she looks better than we do when she does it."

I do all three. When they're bad and I need them done ASAP I wax, whenever I can I thread them (love it), and when I don't do neither I pluck.
I used to wax, but then I was told that the constant pulling can stretch out the eyelid, so I stopped right away! Now I like threading because it lasts longer, but if I don't have the time or don't want to go get it done, I just pluck.
I tweeze...and after many, many years of it my brow has become very fine and light.

Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review by Coeptus: Wizards, Sea Lions, and Hammocks Oh My!
Overall Member Rating
Wizards, Sea Lions, and Hammocks Oh My!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
After getting married in April and gutting/rehabbing our new house from January through July, me and my wife decided to finally take our long overdue honeymoon. It was my first cruise, and my wife had been on one other cruise previously with her family (Norwegian Spirit from Boston to Bermuda). We chose the Norwegian Jewel based on the ports and the price. It left from NYC, and visited Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay, and Nassau.
The ship was in fairly good shape, with the usual wear and tear of a relatively older ship, but there were never any broken elevators, noisy repairs, or unsightly work crews that some people have complained about. We had an inside cabin, which was very small, but this was not an issue for us as we were out and about from when we woke up to when we went to sleep. The room stewards were very good, in fact we very rarely saw them, but we always had towels and sheets and anything else that we needed.
The crew and cruise staff were very friendly More and the amount of activities offered throughout the day was at some times overwhelming. Luckily you get the "Freestyle Daily" each night, NCLs own daily newspaper with a schedule of events and specials, so that you can have a good idea on what you can do for the next day. The nickelodeon cast was on our ship, so there were a good amount of children, but we never felt overrun or outnumbered.
The food was kind of hit or miss for our cruise. Most of the specialty restaurants were very good (but you do have to pay extra), and I would definitely recommend Cagney's if you ever take a Norwegian Cruise. The buffet was as expected, it had a large variety of food which was on the better side, but it was very crowded during the main meal times. The main dining rooms were a nice compromise between the buffet and specialty restaurants. We only went there on the last day, but would definitely go more often on our next cruise as the food was very good, the service prompt, and best of all it is included in the price.
I think my wife's favorite part of cruising is the shows, and Norwegian put on some top notch performances. There are two shows a night, which makes seeing them much easier, and we saw everything from Magicians, to comedians, to a Cirque du Soleil-esq acrobat act. The cruise staff was also very good at incorporating the acts into other everyday activities, like late night game shows and up close magic performances. Overall the entertainment on the Jewel gets an A++.
As for the ports, we chose this cruise for Port Canaveral, because the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios had just opened and my wife and I are both huge nerds and couldn't wait to see it. The park was AMAZING, and the excursion to the park was OK, be prepared to take an hour long bus ride there and back. You also only have about five hours in the park...so you should know exactly where you are going to get the most out of your time.
Great Stirrup Cay was a very nice beach day, and the water was super warm. The tendering process can take a while, and I would recommend going to the front desk in the morning and getting a tender ticket so you can get to the beach and secure a nice spot (I would recommend the hammocks that they have set up in the trees).
In Nassau we did the Sea Lions Encounter excursion (in the same place as swim with the dolphins) and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this trip. You get to meet the sea lions, see them do some tricks, hug them, feed them, and play with them. We also purchased a painting done by one of the sea lions, and the proceeds went to rescuing sea creatures in need. The port of Nassau left something to be desired. The town was very crowded and busy, so unless you really like to shop an excursion was your best bet.
Overall, the Jewel was an amazing experience. It had plenty of activities to keep you entertained all day long (And at night), but there were also plenty of spots on board where you could just curl up and catch some rays or read a book. I am already planning my next cruise with NCL and would highly recommend this cruise line to anyone looking to "Get Away" (I know that is Southwest Airlines but it works) :=P Less

Emporium settles in new home
SEBRING - It took only two days for Levon Stukes and his cadre of volunteers to relocate the Boys & Girls Club Emporium, or thrift store, from its old location to its new permanent home. "We are in," he said. "I'm not sure we are settled," he grinned, when asked that question but they are certainly open for business again. The emporium opened its doors at its new location, 248 Pomegranate Ave., Sebring, July 1 and plans are already afoot on how to make the best use of the 18,000-plus-square-foot-building with three stories. Boston Mining Co. donated the building, which had been vacant since 2006, to the nonprofit organization.Wednesday, volunteers were helping to sort out some of the donated merchandise. The 7,500-square-foot showroom, which includes a back area, was full with several items neatly arranged and stacked - from $1 ladies blouses to kids clothing to hand bags and fluffy toys. A separate reading room, named after big supporter and board member Gabriel Read, has books available for sale for all age groups, and people are invited to just sit down and read if they so desire. Stukes said they are now selling mattresses, and as part of the Sebring downtown sidewalk sale July 20 from 8 a.m. to noon will have a Christmas in July theme. While the regular store hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, it also will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. on the second Fridays as part of Destination Down, along with the sidewalk sale events on the morning of every third Saturday. While the new location is not on the Sebring Circle, Boys & Girls Club board treasurer and building manager Dawn Balsamo explained the best way to get there: The new store is behind the Children's Museum of the Highlands and can be accessed by cutting through the pocket park next to the museum - Sadie Kahn Park. Balsamo said the transition was smooth. Many local contractors donated their labor to fix some of the things that needed to be taken care of - such as the roof - but the 1920s-era building was otherwise in good structural shape, she added While the building is donated, Balsamo said they want to raise funds to convert the first story into office spaces to offset the cost of paying for the electricity. Stukes showed a separate door that leads to and from the first story. Also on the drawing books are possible boutique spaces on the first floor when the second floor is remodeled and the office staff can move their administrative offices there. "We have a lot of things we have set aside that are too expensive to be put (in the regular showroom)," said Carol Cecil, who also is the grants manager. She hopes the boutiques would be a good place for them. The Boys & Girls Club uses the proceeds from the store to support its programs. They also take in donations. To contact the store, call 658-1042.

The crap they sell at "jewelery" parties. Generally, the types of parties you are guilted into buying something at only because the person is a single mom or has a deadbeat husband.
Look at that black hills gold and turquoise necklace she has on. It's so bad, it's junkerey.

When you're a parent, it's not easy to keep romance alive. Crying babies, precocious toddlers and obnoxious teenagers have a way of zapping all of your romantic impulses. But staying connected to your spouse is important and your marriage deserves some nurturing. However, planning a date with your spouse has it's own set of difficulties . Near the top of the list (after babysitting) is the cost. The slow economy has made it hard for couples to save any discretionary income. Therefore date nights are often postponed until couples can afford the extra expense. But dates

View the original article at: http://www.countryweekly.com/news/carrie-underwood-plans-honeymoon-%E2%80%9Csomeplace-warm%E2%80%9D
Carrie Underwood's strategy for being a stress-free bride is simple: let others do the planning for you. She told reporters after her CMA Music Festival performance on June 10 that her hubby-to-be, Ottawa Senators player Mike Fisher, is in charge of planning the couple's honeymoon, and apparently he's pretty good at keeping it a secret. She says that they will have a honeymoon, "but I don't know where it is, it's a surprise. That was Mike's project and I have no clue where we're going. I know it will be warm, that's about all I know."
Carrie does have at least one idea for a wedding gift, though. "We really didn't register [for gifts], because we just want people there. The basics are always nice. A nice wine or something, we can write your name on it, when you come over for dinner, we break it out. We just want people there, that's the best gift."
With her recent win for Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards and her high-production-value Play On Tour, one would think that Carrie would try to outdo herself on her next tour. Not so, she says. "I feel like as far as touring goes and bright lights versus nothing, a lot of that varies from album to album. After the whole Entertainer of the Year win, I felt it was time to have more wow moments in the show. I might follow that up next year with an acoustic tour, with nothing. That would probably just about be my favorite thing. There are so many things in the [current] show right now that I absolutely love that I've never done before. They are so exciting for me because they are so new for me. My love is singing, and I could stand in front of a microphone and do that all day long and be happy for me. I will probably go back and forth and find new ways to keep things interesting for me and the fans."
