Do you find your sources of inspiration changing with the seasons? I definitely do, in summer it's all about the colours of the sky, the light reflecting on the sea and of course blooming flowers in the garden. Now that Autumn is really starting to show itself I find myself looking online, pulling tears from magazines or heading to the shops for an inspiration fix. I spent a very happy Saturday with my best friend last week, we window shopped around Mayfair, went to see David Hockney at the Royal Academy and pottered around Fortum and Mason (mainly looking for the loo but getting majorly side tracked by hats, scarves, the Christmas Shop and men's socks). After a few weeks of routine it was so good to have a break away - I could feel my mind soaking up all the new sights. One mini trend I noticed is the return of the silk scarf, casually knotted or luxuriously wrapped it's made me pull out my silk scarf collection this week. Have a great weekend everyone, I'm celebrating a very special first birthday. xx

Craft Room - before and after
Sunday, 18 September 2016
I'm so happy to finally be share some more of our home renovations with you. It's been a busy summer with builders coming and going (sometimes too much going) but I promise this room won't disappoint. This little room tucked away in the top of the house really didn't have much going for it - it was dark (obvs) with the main window at floor level, sloping ceilings and rotten eaves. The serious reason behind getting more work done was our roof had no insulation plus there was still rot left in some of the eaves from 30 years of a leaking door/window we decided to put in a window to cut out the last of the rot.
As soon as I saw the new light in this room, I knew it'd make the perfect craft space. Over the summer I decided not to return to my office job so having a dedicated workspace away from the rest of the house was really important step in turning my hobby into a more sustainable career option. One of the guys doing the building offered to also paint the room, I'd normally do it myself but with free time being so limited I took him up on the offer which meant the room was done 100 times quicker. The only painting I did was the floorboards and skirting. I used three coats plus a primer of Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint (recommended to me by this lovely lady) and it turned out beautifully. It was a bit of a rush job but the white paint hides a multitude of sins and as we'd run out of money for proper flooring it made a brilliant cost effective alternative.
The best thing we did in this room, with the suggestion of our builder, was add a Velux Cabrio Balcony Window - it's seriously transformed this sad little room into a magical space. The window is almost full length and let's in so much light plus being south facing we now get the most incredible views of the sea. It wasn't in our initial budget but I'm glad we paid extra it's worth every single penny.
To furnish I used a mix of pieces I already had, like the desk and shelving unit. I made the trestle work table which was so easy and added a few pieces from my furniture which I've been stock piling for days when renovations are over (the wicker chair and rug were both £1). I LOVE how this room has come together it's such a calm and inspiring place to spend time in.

Before you renovate...
Friday, 9 September 2016
Happy Friday lovely people! Its been an exciting week for the house, the final walls have come down in our dining room and I can almost see the end of the major parts of our house renovations. It's taken us almost three years to get to this point and I'm so excited at the prospect of having the house and weekends back (although, I'm not sure what I'll do with the spare time). Having a house to renovate was the dream and I know how fortunate I am to be in this position, however doing up a house is a huge undertaking and in a more serious post I thought I'd share some things to think about before you take the plunge.
Time and Money - These two go hand in hand, the less time you have the more you'll spend. If you're prepared to the work yourself, then you'll save so much on labour costs, our biggest expense has been builders time. Our house needed structural work in every.single.room so we had no option but to use builders. Although more expensive we wanted the house to be structurally secure and water tight so decided to spend our money on builders but save in other areas.
How important is your free time? - If you love weekends away, dinners, holidays (basically anything that makes life fun) then ask how much of these things are you will to go without - it's standard for us to pick using our money for the house over going out for dinner. The rare times that we do I measure the cost of the bill against the price of paint!
Do you have help? We were lucky, our parents came in for quite a few weekends at the start to help clean, hang wallpaper, repair banisters etc. When it's just the two of you it can feel that you're at the bottom of a very big mountain having a 'team' to help just gets the ball rolling that much quicker. Look around do you know people with handy DIY skills that could help you out?
Sleep - A random one but I've never felt so tired as I have the first five months of renovations (it was much easier having a new born - seriously) if you have a job that requires you to be awake, make important decisions then factor in this too. My day job and boss were really understanding when I had to take emergency holiday to chose a bathroom, get a days rest but if yours isn't then you definitely need to consider sleep.
I don't want this post to put anyone off buying a project house. It has been so rewarding to create a happy home for our family but has taken an awful lot of hard work to get here and its important you know that. Have a super weekend, I of course will be painting skirting boards!

Inspired September
Thursday, 1 September 2016
The pull of autumn is in the air - the cat has been making the odd nightly appearance (she stays out all night in high summer), there is a crispness to the mornings and the nights are slowly drawing in. For me September is still summer and I always want to squeeze the last drops from these fading days. In celebration of these final moments I pulled a quick moodboard together with gathered blooms from my garden (and veg patch), arranged on one of the many vintage plates I seem to be acquiring lately. I love the soft muted peaches and pinks alongside the sharp citrus of the hollyhock and patty pan squash. I've picked out some of the main colours and included them below, I find looking at colour the best way to get inspired. I hope you can use the colours somewhere in your creative activities this month.
I'm hoping that our renovations will be almost complete, our new windows went into our dining room yesterday which is so exciting. If the room was more photogenic I'd definitely be pulling out all the stops and setting an end of summer table .
I'm really looking forward to getting back into teaching jewellery making workshops , my first class , beautiful bracelets, is happening on 13th September at Tea and Crafting in Camden.
I can't stop ordering from La Redoute, I finally took this rug out of its packaging a few weeks ago and it's just lovely and so soft. I also just got this denim dress and this striped one massively on sale - they will make a nice change from my grubby denim shorts that I've been wearing for days on end.
I'm loving Instagram stories, I've been trying to share bits and pieces from my days and I absolutely love seeing what everyone else is up to.
Finally, the biggest thing happening this month is my baby turns one ( I can't even...) we're yet to decide how to celebrate but it's definitely an occasion that needs a cake. Where did the year go?!
Have a super month everyone. Xx

DIY - Salvaged wood shelf
Friday, 26 August 2016
This little shelf has been proving very popular over on instagram, I made it a while back using salvaged wood from our house renovations. I couldn't resist saving this perfect pink from the skip and knew it'd make a wonderful shelf. With Stanley into everything I still want to have a few spots around the house where I can display my treasures well out the way of little grabbing hands. It is really easy and quick to make, I think this took me a total of twenty minutes and I love it, I've been using it to display my summer blooms and it gives a dark corner of my bedroom a little lift.
Whilst I'm talking DIY, I've been nominated for an Amara Blog Award in the DIY & Craft category. If you could spare a minute I'd really appreciate your vote.
Now back to the shelf...
wood glue along the long thin edge.
Step 3. Stick the top to the base shelf and leave to dry, wiping away any excess glue. I added a few nails just to be 100% sure it was secure.
Step 4. The wood I used for the base of the shelf wasn't really working with the colours of the top. I added a really thin layer of light pink paint, I dabbed the glue onto kitchen paper and wiped over. Once it was dry I sanded the edges of the shelf to make it look worn in. If you are using new wood then use this method to give your shelf a distressed look.
Luckily for me the main piece of wood came with pre-drilled holes so I was able to just nail straight into the wall. If your wood doesn't come predrilled then either drill a few holes in the wood and screw into the wall, add hooks to the back of the shelf and hang.
I really love this DIY, simple and easy is the way forward for me these days. I hope to get a few more bits done in my bedroom this weekend and then I can show you the finished room. Its looking so much better with a bit of colour on the walls and a few one-off touches like this.

New Jewellery Making Workshops - Tea & Crafting, Camden
Friday, 19 August 2016
Happy Friday lovely people - an exciting post today as I'm back teaching jewellery making workshops at Tea and Crafting in Camden, London! I know jewellery making is a niche but its a brilliant one and one I'm 100% passionate about. After a few tricky years and many job changes jewellery making was the one thing that sparked my creativity again, its lead to so many wonderful opportunities and I promise isn't that intimidating once you get going.
I provide all the materials in both gold and silver options plus all the beads, charms and other wonderful bits and pieces I have in my collection. I bring a full selection of colours so even if my usual brights aren't for you, there will definitely be something that is.
The first class I'm teaching is Beautiful Bracelets on 13th September 19:00. I'll be showing you how to make some of my favourite tutorials including this leather charm one and this tassel one plus a few more, you'll then be able to decide which bracelets you want to make. Its a really fun class and one I adore teaching, it's a great introduction to jewellery making so make sure you come along and bring a friend or two (or three!).
The second class I'm teaching is this Brooch Statement Necklace on 6th October 19:00 . Just before I went on maternity leave I taught this class and it was wonderful. You will need to bring your own selection of brooches (at least seven) and I bring the rest of the materials. It's a perfect class for any treasure hunting magpie but also anyone else who loves a statement necklace and wants a simple introduction to jewellery making.
I really hope to see some (or all) of you at one of my classes, they are great fun and full of creativity.
Have a great weekend and feel free to share this post as much as you like ;-). xx
Styling The Seasons - a farewell
Saturday, 6 August 2016
Its with a mix of immense sadness and pride that I write this post. Two years after announcing we were starting Styling The Seasons Katy and I have decided to finish the project. Its been incredible, we have nearly thirty thousand posts our the instagram hashtag (#stylingtheseasons) and six hundred blog posts - wow (you can see them all on our Pinterest board)
Personally I've learnt so much about photography, my home and how I live my life through taking time each month to reflect what it means to me. I know, quite possibly for the rest of my life, I will continue to celebrate the seasons and reflect them in my house - one of the greatest joys over the past two years has been to take notice of how the seasons change.
When we started Styling The Seasons Katy and I were both in different places, Katy had just left her day job to blog full time and I recently dropped a day in my (dull) office job to concentrate on setting up workshops and get more creative fulfilment into my life. Our directions have changed again, I've decided not to return to my office job following maternity leave and Katy has her own adventures ahead.
It's been an amazing two years - a huge thanks to my wonderful co-host Katy, all the brands we've worked with and most importantly to every single one of you who have shared the stories of your homes and inspired with such energy and creativity. You'll never know how much it has meant reading all your posts. Before I start crying into my coffee here are my highlights...
Photos - Katharine Peachey
Crafting The Seasons - we hosted a magical afternoon at Liberty with all our original Styling The Seasons Bloggers. It is still one of my best days.
Photos - Katharine Peachey
Spring Wreath Making Workshop with at {mine} and Bloom and Wild - Following the success of Crafting the Seasons we held another blogger event where we made beautiful Spring Wreaths. Its was such a pretty day and full the most beautiful flowers and it was great to meet so many monthly participants.
Working with brands - We had some great competitions along the way, working with Loaf, Holly's House and Makelight. My favourite collaboration was with Laura Ashley all the posts showed so much imagination I was (and still am) humbled by all the effort that went into each post - who knew you could do so much with wallpaper?!
January - of all the months I learnt that January is my favourite. Maybe its the feeling of starting over, the promise of spring or maybe its just because every one of January's posts were just gorgeous?! You can see all the posts here - January 2015, January 2015 review, January 2016, January 2016 review.
Of course Styling The Seasons won't be stopping completely the hashtag will live on and you can still write Styling The Seasons posts whenever the mood takes you. I hope you have enjoyed reading and taking part as much as I have, its been an experience to treasure. Thank you once again for supporting this amazing project, lots of love xxxxx

we enjyed the atmosphere of the hotel and the extra touches
We found it very peaceful with a relaxing atmosphere and a good area for country walks.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was beautifully presented and I was pleasantly surprised as the price was very reasonable. I would definitely return again.
A hotel bar would have been nice but not a deal breaker as only 5 miles from city-centre
easy reach of many places
Many good points. a friendly welcome, helpful staff, a comfortable bed and the bar was open till late!
Only one. The temperature of the shower in my room barely reached tepid. as this was only one night it mattered little to me but worth checking out
The downstairs of the hotel has a warm evening atmosphere and a fun design. The staff are friendly and it is near the river and beautiful bridges.
Make sure you ask for one of the new rooms as we were faced with a very small, cold, shabby room and a fold out sofa bed for the same price as the larger, updated rooms with four poster beds! Be sure to check your booking with them twice before arrival as we checked only once and were not put on the booking list.
Did not match the description given .
The night we stayed it was quiet, so we slept well. I requested that a dead light bulb be changed in our room and it was. The lady who cooked the breakfast was friendly - the only one out of three staff we met who was friendly.
The room was pokey & claustrophobic. It was up many dark underlit staircases. There were many signs warning that breakages must be paid for, which made us feel like suspects & as though we were not welcome. When we tried to check in at 5pm, it took ages for the door to be answered. The room was too warm and the radiator had no heat control. The breakfast selection was poor. The whole hotel/guesthouse has an air of stinginess. On reflection, I thought it did not offer good value for money. I was relieved to be able to leave in the morning.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Physics: Fundamentals of Physics Extended (8th), Chapter 17,Problem 18P
Problem: A sound with a 40.0cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and througha tube that consists of a straight portion and a half-circle. Part of the sound wave travels through the half-circle andthen rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes directly through thestraight portion. This rejoining results ininterference. What is the smallestradius r that results in an intensity minimum atthe detector?
I knowthat φ = (ΔL / λ)(2π),and that so far I havegotten φ = [r (π - 2)]/ 40.0
I do not know what to do from here though. Itsays
in the solution that in order to obtain the minimumradius, φ must equal π, and that bysubstituting π into the above equation, I am able tosolve for r. I am confused, however, as tohow φ must equal π in order for theradius to be minimized. How do I knowthat φ must equal π?

Strengthening Community and Health Systems for Quality PMTCT: Applications in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Ethiopia
In addition to a lack of access to quality prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services at the clinic level, community-level factors such as stigma; adverse gender dynamics; low support for HIV testing, antenatal care, and skilled birth attendance; and poor linkages between communities and their facilities all pose challenges to improving PMTCT outcomes. Since 2002, Pathfinder has implemented PMTCT programming in countries across the globe, gaining insight into the barriers women face in access and adherence, and using these lessons to inform implementation of our global PMTCT strategy. This technical brief discusses implementation experience in four African countries, providing recommendations for future efforts to more holistically advance improved PMTCT outcomes in resource-limited settings.

First off: I may not post a lot here, but I still feel that this is one of the best ways to describe my concerns and engage the issues I discuss herein with the Pokémon community at large. This is my experience with Pokémon and a crisis I currently face.
I, as a lifelong Pokémon fan, am starting to feel like Im losing my way. I have played almost every main series game, and every generation many times over, and Ive run into a sort of wall with what to do next, all these years of playing behind me. Some years back, my goal was training Pokémon in my Ruby. Then, that file of 850+ hours ran out due to the internal battery, and I stopped for a year or so. Upon the release of Gen V, I came back into the game in full force, and played 10 hours a day of Black until I reached 999:59 on the time counter. From there, I felt that the GTS now enabled me to put a wholehearted attempt into my new goal of completing the Pokédex. Since then, Ive completed the Pokédex in all the Gen V and Gen VI games.
Throughout this, I had a sort of moonshot a final, ultimate challenge for myself: to train every fully-evolved form of every Pokémon to level 100. And, well, I did that. Almost. The last Pokémon, for sentiments sake, was Groudon, as Ruby is my favorite game. I caught an Adamant one in Ruby and it is currently sitting in my HeartGold, before I trade it up through Gen V into my Omega Ruby, where I will EV-train it properly. The reason its still sitting in my HeartGold is because that Groudon signifies the end of my supposedly final challenge. After that, I have nothing left. No goal, nothing.
I have to this point been trying to avoid this issue, by replaying almost every generation. Ruby, a different copy of Ruby, Diamond, HeartGold, White, White 2, X, and currently Emerald because I havent done it in a while. Upon the release of the Virtual Console Gen I games, I completed the Pokédex in all three, and rather than trading, I caught as many of the Pokémon as I could, then traded only the necessary ones, for the sole purpose of spending more time just playing.
I therefore ask you, the Pokémon community: what do you do? How do you prolong your experience with the greatest franchise in history? I want to spend more time in these worlds, with these characters and creatures that have so defined my childhood, but I am at a loss, and what a crushing loss it is. If you may indulge me for a moment: the pressures of adult life are always closing in, and Pokémon has always been the one spark, the light that shines eternally for me. It is always there, always reminding me of a simpler time. Sure, I cynically analyze any new leaks, I watch every trailer, I meticulously EV train, but thats just my new way of experiencing Pokémon. And I would love to keep doing that, as long as I live, but this existential crisis (if I may be so bold as to call it that) is seriously weighing on me.
I would like to address that yes, we will have a new generation coming to us this November. I have no doubts GAME FREAK and Nintendo will provide another fantastic pocket-sized world for us all to fall in love with again. But, it will most likely not take me until Gen VIII comes out to fully experience Gen VII. Furthermore, November 18 is still over five months away, and even though Im doing everything possible in Emerald, from the Regis to the Abandoned Ship, it certainly wont take me that long. This crisis will follow me, as it may very well follow other members of the Pokémon community. Most of my friends have dropped out of Pokémon, but I see no reason to stop. Rather, I must at all costs not find a reason to stop, and I hope that the community members here might be of some assistance. Im reaching out to one of the greatest communities on Earth, and I hope theres someone who shares some sentiment or has ideas. Thank you for reading.

Minimum Auto Insurance for $2,278? Only in L.A.
Whitter Wang
If you ever thought that your car insurance company pretty much charges you whatever it can get away with, you might be right.
A new survey by Consumer Federation of America (CFA) reveals that good drivers in moderate-income areas are sometimes charged more than $1,500 a year for minimum liability coverage. Yeah.
The results of its survey were revealed today by the CFA:
The organization looked at the rates of State Farm, Allstate, Progressive and GEICO in 15 cities, including Los Angeles. It found that a woman received wildly differing rate quotes -- from $762 to $3,390 -- for the same coverage. Wow.

TicketsSat., Oct. 1, 7:30pm
According to the data, more than half the quotes were at least $1,000. Almost a third (32 percent) were $1,500.
In L.A., the company with the lowest quote for a male driver was GEICO with $841. The highest quote was $2,278 (for minimum coverage!?) from State Farm. An L.A. female driver came in with a lower and more consistent quote range -- $600 (State Farm) to $800 (Progressive).
Read more here.
Here's the federation's conclusion, a real pisser:
The minimum liability insurance that drivers in all but one state are required to purchase effectively provides no real benefit to them except compliance with the law.
Yep. Just as you suspected. Money for nothin'. And you're obligated.
So, if you wonder about the rash of hit-and-runs in Los Angeles, maybe this explains it. According to a CFA statement:
The high premiums and disparate treatment help explain why an estimated one-quarter to one-third of lower-income drivers are uninsured.
California actually has a $300-a-year minimum liability insurance program for low- and moderate-income drivers. CFA wants other states to follow suit.
J. Robert Hunter, CFA's director of insurance:
Insurance commissioners have the responsibility to ensure that these drivers are charged fair, affordable rates. Our research suggests that most rates charged moderate-income drivers are neither fair nor affordable.

CHICAGO (AP) - A judge on Wednesday ordered the preservation of all evidence and records involving the deadly scaffolding collapse at the John Hancock Center so the materials can be examined by investigators for the victims' families.
Attorney Robert Clifford sought the emergency motion as he filed a lawsuit on behalf of the families of two women killed Saturday when their cars were crushed by a 3,000-pound section of scaffolding that fell from the 42nd floor.
"The families are in need of protection, particularly with some of the finger-pointing going on" by the scaffold operator and the city, Clifford said.

332 Tasting Notes
My last bag of this, finishing it off at work. For some reason, I decided that, while alone in a creaky, creepy old building at night, it would be a good idea to watch videos of people playing scary games. Soooo, this tea is comforting me after creeping myself out haha. Unfortunately, it seems like it got contaminated from some other tea, as it smelled smokey before steeping, and doesn't taste very fruity or bergamoty. I also may need to clean my travel mug out a bit better. It's not horrible, but it doesn't taste as good as I remember. I wish I had more of this one to try.
The last time I had this, I accidentally drowned out the flavor with some almond milk. This time I used normal milk and went for a ten minute steep. I really enjoyed this one. It's a less intense chai, with the coconut adding more creaminess than actual flavor. If you're wanting a very strong coconut flavor, this probably isn't the best for you, but otherwise it's really good.
I saw someone mention earlier today that they wanted to try a combination of Della Terra's Autumn Leaves and a lapsang souchong. Not only did I think that sounded very good, but I have samples of both that I want to clear out. So I combined Autumn Leaves with Lapsang Souchong from Happy Lucky. I figured the lapsang would overpower the Autumn Leaves, so I used extra Autumn Leaves. The lapsang is still overpowering and the maple doesn't really come in until after the sip and in the aftertaste. This smells really good, but will have to be messed with to get the taste right.
This was the last tea I had last night. I wanted something cold brewed, and I wanted something fruity. I've only had this once before, so I put it in the fridge for about 12 hours. It looks like my thoughts haven't changed much since my last note. It smells sweet and fruity and delicious, while the taste is more white tea balanced well with the guava, without one feeling like it's overpowering the other. One I will definitely be using to get me through the upcoming Texas summer.
For some reason, I've never logged this, even though I had two ounces and I used the last of it last night. This was one of my first loose teas, and I'm sad to see it go. I've had it for almost two years now, so it was about time it was drunk. This is a very sweet peach tea, it smells a lot like the gummy peach rings I used to eat all the time. So, I may like this partially because of nostalgia, and partially because it's local, but I promise this is a good peach tea if you're looking for something sweet. If you're in the Austin area, check out the Steeping Room. I hear they've remodeled recently, I may have to go back and get more of this and check out their new look.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A school bus driver detained a 19-year-old man on Tuesday who was a suspect in two unsuccessful burglary attempts.
Yesterday morning, a neighbor noticed a man breaking into a home and called authorities. Deputies found that someone had broken into the residence and fled, Chattanooga Times Free Press reports.
Witnesses provided the suspect's description to the deputies. A short time later, the school bus driver caught a man breaking into his bus and called the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office while detaining the suspect, spokeswoman Janice Atkinson told the newspaper.
Deputies who responded to the call from the bus driver discovered that the suspect in that crime fit the description of the suspect from the earlier burglary.
Cordarrius Bonner has been charged with aggravated burglary, vandalism and burglary of an auto, as well as being in possession of other property that was suspected to be stolen, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Pembroke Pines Condo President Gambles Away Condo Association's Money
Condo association presidents are fun people. They hate fun, won't let your friends park in spots for more than an hour, won't allow you to put up a Christmas wreath on the door, won't allow you to get a pet, and won't let you have a BBQ.
Also, they gamble away all your association's money.
Well, that's what one condo association president did, anyway.
According to Pembroke Pines Police, Nancy Marquez, el presidente of he French Villas condominium association, allegedly hit up the casinos and lost all the community's money -- over a hundred grand's worth in cash -- while gambling.

The Sun-Sentinel reports the amount was $148,012
Police say Marquez, 58, took some of her own money and hit up the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood. But apparently her own money wasn't enough, so she ganked the association's cash and went trolling for the slot machines.
Apparently, the association has felt like something was amiss with Marquez for some time, pointing to certain "discrepancies" as back as 2011. Through receipts, they began to see some things weren't quite right ever since she took over.
Suspicions arose when the association would receive pass due notices for utilities such as water, and FPL, who kept the community's parking lot and hallways lit.
The association contacted police about it, and in probably one of the slowest investigations ever, they finally were able to nab her in the act.
According to police, Marquez transferred money from the association's checking and savings accounts into her own personal checking account.
Marquez was arrested on charges of grand theft and perpetrating a scheme to defraud. She was freed from jail Tuesday on $7,500 bond.
The real crime here, however, is now when you complain to your condo association president about them not letting you get a satellite dish to watch football, they'll come back with, "Hey, at least I'm not robbing your money and gambling it away!"

Tasting Notes
Rich and full-bodied with superb fruit depth and voluptuous, ripe berry flavors carrying into a long, lovely finish.
Wine Maker Notes
The fruit is hand-harvested, brought to the winery and crushed into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. When the tanks are two-thirds to three-quarters full, the must is inoculated with selected yeasts and yeast nutrient. Fermentation takes place at temperatures of up to 85° to 90°F over a period of eight to 15 days, and once fermentation is underway, the juice is pumped over the cap of skins three times daily for a half hour each to extract maximum color. Toward the end of the alcoholic fermentation, a culture is introduced to initiate the malolactic fermentation; the wine is pressed from the skins into fresh stainless steel, where malolactic fermentation is completed over four to six weeks.
The lots are racked into French and American oak barrels of up three years' age, of which 25 to 30 percent are new, and remain separate during the 19 to 20-month aging period. Depending on the vintage, origin of oak is in proportions of 20 to 40 percent French oak, which lends refined, toasty, vanilla notes; and 60 to 80 percent American oak, which contributes tannic structure and cedar and tobacco notes. The barrels are topped roughly once every three months. At the end of the term in oak the blend is assembled, and unless it has not clarified sufficiently in barrel, the wine is bottled without filtration and held for eight months prior to release.

With 25,000 LED lights, the San Francisco Bay Bridge has become the biggest light installation ever. Imagined by artist Leo Villareal, the lights were independently funded and will stay up through 2015. I took my friends to watch it last night and it's mesmerizing. The lights will change to reflect data about the city - the weather, traffic, tides, etc - and it never repeats. Sometimes you see fish. Other times you see waves. No matter what it proves my assertion that the Bay Bridge is way cooler than the Golden Gate.
Oh, and for you geeks out there, each light has its own IP address to make the sculpture almost impossible to hack.
I'm taking cards to my friends station today to have them sign cards for Tyler!! Make a difference and share his wish and make it come true.
Purchasing or Selling a property in the Bay Area is a complex and stressful task. It's often the biggest single investment you will make in your lifetime. Real Estate transactions have become increasingly complicated during the current market conditions.

Shopto would like to confirm that customers who pre-ordered their PS4 before June 9 have been offered the choice of upgrading to the PS4 Mega Bundle, which includes a PS4 console, a copy of Killzone Shadow Fall and a PS Camera.
The Mega bundle was previously announced by Sony and ShopTo started offering it to early pre-order customers, starting from orders placed in February. Some of these customers rejected and some accepted, meaning that so far our allocation has stretched up until orders placed on June 9. Should further customers turn down the offer of an upgrade then there is a chance that those who pre-ordered at a later date than June 9 may be given a chance to upgrade.
This system will be ongoing until 10 days before release and any offers of an upgrade would be made via email, so keep an eye on you inbox.
