Delivered on time. Floor went down with no problems.
Best Uses
The color, quality, and character of this product exceeded my expectation for a millrun grade wood. The only issue was that the store originally told be 7-10 days for delivery (to local store). I did not receive the product until 26 days after I placed the order. However, once the store had the product they were very helpful and promptly notified me that it was ready for pickup.
Best Uses
I have installed 1st quality T&G Oak from another manufacture and had a few problems. That is why I was plesently suprized with the quality product. My house is over 100 years old and the original T&G oak has been applied directly to the floor joists. Someone in the past had covered that with HDFB (The sawdust board they make counters out of) Nails will not hold well in that, so I face drilled with a 1/2"center drill and screwed the boards with screws long enough to screw into the original oak. Then I drove oak plugs into the holes to cover the screws.
A few boards were warped but I levered them into place, so the only real problem was that one board out of the dozen or so boxes I bought was brown and looked like a whole different flooring color. Because I had very little waste, one unusable board was not a problem.
We used this product to replace carpet in our bedroom and the flooring very closely matches the other hardwoods in our house. We just installed it so we can't comment on how durable it is, but it looks great right now. We did not have any problems with this product.
We just finished the installation and it looks beautiful! I love it. Now if it holds up, I'm happy happy happy!
Best Uses
While overall this is a good flooring product for the price, you had better be a good woodworker to lay this to look professional.
Best Uses
My uncle and dad installed these floors for me this past weekend. I was so pleased with how they matched my existing 50 year old hardwood flooring and provided a seamless transition.
I would recommend having someone install the floors that knows what they are doing. My uncle is a professional contractor and owns his own construction business. He had all of the equipment needed and knew what he was doing. We did run into a few issues with the flooring. One box had boards that had black markings on them and some of the boards were just ugly in appearance in that same box. I was able to clean the black markings off, but I shouldn't have had to do that. Poor quality control. The ugly boards now have a stove sitting on top of them.
Contrary to what people may believe, these pieces do not just snap together. If you want a tight fit, you have to use a rubber mallet and/or hammer to push them into place. We had no milling issues and the boards worked well with one another regardless of what box they came out of.
Best Uses
The look and durability of the product is great, remember that you are buying mill grade, which is not select so there will be significant color variations and knots and imperfections. In my lot i had a few boxes with some terrible milling, mainly missing tongues, a lot of the long boards were bowed, but as an experienced flooring installer they were not a problem and was able to use about 95% of the product purchased which was about 500 SQ FT. I love the color variations, i feel that it gives the floor character. You have to remember the product is wood, IT COMES FROM TREES! People crack me up when they make comments about the grain or color variations! I would use this product again.
Service and delivery comments:
Service and delivery was great!
Best Uses
Pieces don't fit together well, resulting in suprisingly large gaps between pieces even when an effort is made to match them. Some boards are noticeably thicker than others, sticking up at seams. The sample in the store looked so much better than these pieces could ever be made to look. I wish I had purchased well-fitting bamboo instead of this low-quality oak. I do NOT recommend.
Best Uses
I'm very happy with most of the flooring. But there were so many short pieces, so many pieces with uneven edges, and some very different color variances. This actually added up to about 2 boxes!
Service and delivery comments:
I was told that our order was on a truck & when it would be ready to be picked up. But when my installer showed up, it wasn't there. It took another week, which made the whole wait time about 4 weeks!
Someone should have called to let me know that it didn't arrive, especially after I was told it would be there.

AnswerBox - Get answers from Staff Experts and real customers by clicking "Ask a question" or click here to ask our Customer Service Team
Q:I have hardwood flooring installed throughout lower level of house. Have what appears to be hardwood oak 2-1/4 wide 3" thick. The flooring installed has a very noticeable seam showing, much more pronounced than what you show between boards. Can flooring be purchased with a larger bevel to provide a wider seam? Need to replace carpeted master Bedroom about 450-500sq ft with flooring to match rest of house.
1 answer
A:Unfortunately flooring styles have changed over the years and finding a large beveled product to match what you have may be difficult. Taking some pictures of it and visiting local flooring retailers may help.
Q:Does this product have a beveled edge?
1 answer
A:Yes Mayflower 3/4" x 2-1/4" Millrun Butterscotch Oak has a beveled edge.
Q:Can this type of Hardwood go on a cement with little or no sub flooring?
1 answer
A:This 3/4" solid flooring can be installed over a concrete subfloor with Elastilon as your installation system or nailed after a plywood subfloor is installed. For more details type, "Cement" here and see "How to install solid hardwood on cement" -http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101
Q:What is the length of the boards. what is the longest and shortest lengths? Thanking you for your patience.
1 answer
A:Millrun falls under natural grade.
Q:What is the diference between the butterscotch & gunstock finishes? The color looks almost the same.
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
1 answer
A:This is a polyurethane finish and has an (aluminum oxide) high abrasion sealer which is tested to meet at least 550 cycles using taber abrasion test.

Went back downstairs and noticed that his laptop wasnt in the normal place. Went back to the bathroom, where the light was still on. Took a deep breath and opened the door. And there he sat, watching porn, now with a very startled look on his face.
Seems like he has been using a private browser, so it doesnt show up on his computer history. Every time he shuts it down, it completely wipes itself of all content. I made him show me. He was just about to watch a video when I caught him. He had been looking at images before. Evidently hes been doing this for (he says, but liars lie) for about a month now. A month that I mostly took off to be with him, so we could have some quality time together. Enjoy each others company. Drive him places he needed to be. Support him during his sister's breast cancer surgery. Support him on his upcoming biopsy. So we could draw even closer together.
And hes been lying to me the entire time. I asked him, how long did he intend to keep on before telling me. He doesnt know. I asked him what he told himself the first time he searched for images that he had agreed not to look at, to make it ok this time. He said that he justified it because it was only Playboy.
I screamed. I raged. I ran upstairs and threw all of his hanging clothing over the bannister screaming that he had killed our marriage. That I didnt want to see him upstairs in MY bedroom. That we were separating. And then I collapsed and sobbed for most of the night. He slept on the downstairs couch.
Today, I got up, had coffee, and told him that I wanted his first priority to be finishing the guest bedroom flooring so that he could move into there. He had already hung his clothing in that bedroom. He agreed. He told me that he was going to fight for me. I asked him when. I told him that I was tired of being his keeper. He could do whatever he wanted on his computer, look at whatever he wished, but that I expected that he would not embarrass me, spend our funds on cybersex, and not date nor bring anyone home while we were married. He agreed. And I left. Then texted him a message telling him that we needed to talk tonight about the immediate future of our in-house separation. We have an appointment at 6pm.
Meanwhile, I sit here in front of my computer, with the tears sliding down my face. I have to tell my boss when she comes in I cannot hide this anymore. I feel like Im dying the little death. I wish that I were numb.

hugs to you..
Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. My heart is breaking for you.
I assume that IHS is the only option right now? I ask because I know it can be very difficult to live that way...
Sending you hugs and strength...
I'm so sorry that its come to this. Sending you prayers and to strong and stand your ground.
Remember actions and not just words if he's going to fight he needs outside professional help to work through his addiction.
I am sorry I don't have any wise words to give back to you. You are strong, though, and aren't settling for less than you deserve. That was very brave of you, too.
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak." ~ Homer Simpson
Sending you strength and support.
He of couse is an addict. He does want his marriage but the pull of the addiction is just too strong. He has to go to a counsellor specializing in sexual addiction or he will keep offending. Whether or not you two stay together, he will still have to do that or he will never have a healthy relationship.
You have given him so many chances that I don't blame you for being done. Good luck in the future. I hope you find a strong, loving, man, that appreciates your strength and your character.
I am so sorry for your grief and pain. I feel particularly bad because, unfortunately, I relate in both ways.....for you being betrayed again (I know that feeling) and for your husbands use of porn (I know that feeling too).
I read a book, "everymans battle"....it changed my life...the key was I wanted free from my old habits. I still think it would be good for your husband to read....he does have to make the choice to change.
The book absolutely describes how porn degrades a persons soul and all relationships of that person viewing it. It also specifically describes the steps and process's for breaking that habit.
It was a tuff habit to break, but just as the book promises, it can be broken. IC helped me too....
I can tell you from experience...my enjoyment of almost every aspect of my life has increased exponentially since I have stopped using porn. And my wife knew I viewed it (but was not aware each and every time) .both of us subscribing to the false theory that "all men view porn".
I pray your husband opens his heart and decides to break this dreadful action...
I am so very sorry for my actions in this arena. It, like adultery, is all too common in society today. The stigma has been lost over the years....access to porn is so easy and free the. It was more challenging 30 yrs ago to view porn...but I still got some back then. Pray for our kids....not sure how any of them are going to avoid being negatively affected by porn.
Skan, I soap boxed a bit on here. I want you to know I am so very sorry for your pain. I am sorry your husband has hurt you again. I am sorry I can relate to your husbands dark side. I make no exercises for him or me. We both hurt our wives, and we hurt ourselves. I have not figured out how to repair the damage I have done....but am no longer causing new damages. It is a start. I pray your husband starts....
God be with us all.

his past history indicates that he does truly have a problem with porn. after the last go round, there was no question about how you felt about it or its use. he is either choosing to disrespect you or he needs professional help. there is not much middle ground here.
sending you strength and saying a prayer.
He's been given enough chances. Now is the time for *you* to fight for YOU.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Stay strong sweetie. You offer a lot to the folks here, and they are all pulling for you. No matter what happens, you know that you have done your best, tried your hardest to save your M.
You will be ok, you will not be broken forever. It's ok to be alone. You are a smart cookie who will thrive without the toxic life of constant worry, and upset.
((((and strength))))
damn it, I'm very sorry to hear this. just Playboy? My ass! with his issues, the JCPenney catalog bra section needs to be out of bounds.
One of the first steps to breaking this habit, addiction is stop viewing anything suggestive. When you find yourself with "the urge"....reach out to others, remove yourself from the setting or stimulation.....so 5455real is spot on.....it might seem as if he were jesting, but he speaks real truth.
This, like affairs, can and should be stopped. And, just like affairs, the one in them is the only person to make that change happens.
He knows what you will and won't tolerate....you have been very clear. You have done the healthy thing. You have shown him you are still willing to work on your marriage in spite of the pain you are experiencing because of it. He must make a similar choice....a real, active, mature choice...and abandon his immature destructive ways of his past.
Peace to all.

Keep the faith.
And never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
― Sarah McMane
I too tried to go along with the 'all men look at porn' coupled with all men masturbate...
But it was the beginning of the slippery slope for our marriage to slide into the depths of betrayal and lies.
Mr. Happy's brain was rewired over the course of a few years. Then came the ED. Then he escalated into a few years of trolling for whores then Bingo the AP came on the scene...UGH! What a drag.
So I get it. And I have a zero tolerance for this stuff.
No offense to anyone indulges...Porno caused too many problems over in this camp.
I wonder how long you will be able to stand living with him under the same roof and him continuing the very things that have made you separate...HUMMM...
Stay strong my dear Skan. Painful as it is you know what to do.
Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.

The 2013 free agency class will be headlined by All-Stars Chris Paul, Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum next summer, but the crop figures to be a deep group at every position well beyond the headliners.
One of the players expected to attract plenty of attention from executives around the league in free agency is Indiana Pacers forward David West. The veteran is in the last year of his contract, a two-year $20 million deal, signed in December 2011. The last time West was in this position he was in the process of recovering from a torn left ACL suffered at the end of the 2011 campaign.
One of Wests primary objectives this season is to prove to everyone his knee is fully recovered after working his way back most of last season.
I feel like Im in pretty good shape as far as my health West said to HOOPSWORLD. I feel one hundred times better than last year just coming off the knee surgery.
West, 32, is at the age where most frontcourt players start to decline but the veteran has been hot to start the season averaging 16.7 points and 8.6 rebounds through the Pacers first seven games.
Given his age and recent knee injury West knows the microscope is focused on his game more than ever, but he says he wont let his uncertain future become a distraction.
Im just trying to have a productive year, West said regarding his goal headed into free agency. I dont really base my play on whats out there looming. I just try to go out do my job and stay focused on the moment and what we have to do to right now.
The Pacers already have $57 million in committed salary on the books for the 2013-14 season, after new deals for Roy Hibbert, Ian Mahinmi and Gerald Green were reached this past summer. Emerging forward Paul George could potentially test the market at the end of the 2014-15 campaign as well, making the need for the small market Pacers to keep an eye on expenses on the top of their agenda.
While West wants to be a Pacer long term he acknowledges there could be financial challenges, which stand in the way. For now West wants to concentrate on winning games, believing the rest will play itself out at the appropriate time.
Its one of those situations, West said when asked if he wanted to remain in Indiana long term. My main objective is to try to win [here]. I feel like this group has an opportunity to do that. Obviously with Danny [Granger] out it changes and makes things a little more difficult for us this year, but again we feel like with the group that we have and with Danny at full strength we can compete.
The Pacers will be without the services of former All-Star and leading scorer Danny Granger for the next three months as he nurses a knee injury. Indiana will need Wests production during this time to stay in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff mix.

British bank RBS logs huge loss, but boss takes bonus
Britain's bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland on Thursday posted its fifth straight annual loss for 2012, when it was hit by a string of scandals, but added that its boss would still take a deferred bonus.
Losses after tax ballooned to £5.97 billion ($9.05 billion, 6.89 billion euros) last year, compared with a shortfall of £1.997 billion in 2011, RBS revealed in a results statement.
The lender was hit hard last year by mis-selling compensation payouts, Libor rate-rigging fines and a vast accounting charge.
The Edinburgh-based bank on Thursday said it had set aside another £450 million to cover compensation for mis-selling payment protection insurance, and £650 million for clients mis-sold interest rate hedging products.
The bank also took a huge accounting charge of £4.65 billion against the improving value of the group's own debt. That contrasted with a credit of £1.91 billion in 2011.
RBS had already revealed earlier this month that it would pay fines totalling $612 million (453 million euros) to US and British regulators to settle allegations of Libor interest rate-rigging.
Despite the scandal-tainted year, chief executive Stephen Hester revealed he would still pick up the second tranche of his deferred bonus for 2010 next week.
When asked if he would be taking £780,000 in RBS shares in March, Hester told the BBC: "Yes, I am. Other people decided to award it to me. As you know it's the only bonus in four years I have taken.
"By the standards of other people doing this job that is something that the board clearly felt was merited."
RBS also paid bonuses to other staff, despite public outcry after it became the third bank to admit its part in the Libor affair after Barclays and UBS.
The lender did however cut its bonus pool to £607 million, from £789 million in 2011, after recouping cash to pay its recent fines to settle allegations of Libor rate-rigging.
Bonuses at taxpayer-rescued lenders have long been a flashpoint for public outrage in Britain, with the economy on the cusp of its third recession since the 2008 global financial crisis that was rooted in the banking sector.
The government still owns 81 percent of RBS after it was bailed out at the height of the crisis with £45.5 billion of taxpayers' cash, making it the world's biggest banking bailout.
Across in Brussels, the European Union has agreed to new rules that would cap bankers' bonuses, blamed by critics for helping to drive the global financial crisis but also defended as crucial for the smooth working of the banking system.
The European Parliament and the EU's current Irish presidency on Thursday agreed how to implement Basel III, an internationally-agreed set of regulations which tighten capital requirements in the hope of preventing any repeat of the 2008 banking collapse.
Back in London, RBS added that its underlying operating profit excluding exceptional charges almost doubled to £3.462 billion last year, aided by deep cost-cutting and falling impairment charges.
And the group noted that its five-year restructuring plan would be mostly complete by the end of 2013, predicting it would therefore become a "cleaner" and better performing bank next year.
"RBS is four years into its recovery plan and good progress has been made. We are a much smaller, more focused and stronger bank. Our target is for 2013 to be the last big year of restructuring," said Hester in the earnings release.
He added: "2012 saw landmark achievements for RBS. It was also a chastening year. Along with the rest of the banking industry we faced significant reputational challenges as we worked with regulators to put right past mistakes.
"We are determined to overcome the cultural and reputational baggage of pre-crisis times with the same focus we have applied to the financial clean-up from that era."
RBS also outlined plans to float part of its US arm Citizens and retreat further from investment banking to boost capital levels and prepare for its eventual return to the private sector.
"I think we are coming really closer to the point where we are a normal company again," Hester told the BBC Radio Scotland.
"I hope we can be a really good company in due course and when privatisation is an option available to the government."
Royal Bank of Scotland was ravaged by its badly-timed consortium takeover of Dutch bank ABN Amro at the top of the market in 2007, just before the global financial crisis struck.

I admit it, I've bought instant oatmeal packets. Shhh, don't tell Bob, he'd be so disappointed in me. They're hard to resist. I love oatmeal and I'm always pressed for time in the morning. The packets are so EASY and already portioned for me. They're also expensive and filled with weird flavors and sugar (even the 'healthy' versions). On top of that, Bob's Red Mill doesn't make any.
Not only was I spending more than I wanted, I was buying oats that weren't our superior oats and I was getting extra sugar and gross chemicals in the mix. I started thinking about it and a brilliant (well, pretty obvious and basic) idea occurred to me. Why don' t I make my own instant oat "packets?" I didn't want to waste plastic baggies making "packets" and I didn't really want to use instant oats. I whipped out a plastic container and filled it with what I wanted in a packet—quick oats, flaxseed meal, chopped walnuts and wheat germ—voila! an "instant" oat breakfast was mine! I threw a quarter cup measuring cup in the container and I was set! I keep the container in my desk, along with a bowl. Each morning, I scoop out 1/2 cup of oats and add 1 cup of hot water from the hot water spigot on our water cooler, let stand for a few minutes and I'm off and charging with a health, easy breakfast.
To make your own, you'll need:
- 64 oz (8 cup) or bigger Container with a resealable lid
- 5 cups Quick Cooking Rolled Oats (Gluten Free will work too) or Instant Oats
- 1/4 or 1/2 cup Scoop
Mix and match, but be sure not to add more than your container can hold.
- 1/2 cup Flaxseed Meal
- 1/2 cup Wheat Germ
- 1 cup chopped Nuts
- 1/2 cup Hemp Seeds
- 1/2 cup Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Wheat Bran
- 1/2 cup Rice Bran
- 1/2 cup Oat Bran
- 1 cup Sunflower Seeds
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 cup Almond Meal
- 1 cup dried Fruit
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon or other spices
Mix to combine and you're all set. This lasts me about 2 weeks. Because you will probably use it within a month, you do not need to worry about refrigerating the flaxseed meal and other normally perishable ingredients.

Thanks to bond funding authorized by the Texas Legislature and approved by statewide voters, Texas Parks and Wildlife budgeted nearly $2.83 million for new structures which should become favorite draws for Cleburne visitors. Already completed is a brand new, two-dorm group barracks buildings, complete with modern men's and women's bathrooms and a breezeway between. The barracks accommodate 44 guests in bunk beds. A mid-summer start is expected for the second project, which includes new concession and bathhouse structures, separated by a breezeway. The former concession structure had been closed for several years, leaving the park without a store. The Cleburne improvements represent another checkmark on a long list of major Texas State Parks rejuvenation projects underway this year, all aimed at making the parks more fun, safer and customer friendly. Texas State Parks general obligation bonds have been sold to fund more than $44 million in repairs and renovations to park cabins, bathrooms, electrical and water systems, and other state park infrastructure. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas. The concession and bathhouse project, located in a key area along the northwest side of spring-fed Cedar Lake near Cedar Grove Camping area and the playground, also includes restoring the surrounding area. "It is located by the spring-fed lake," says project manager Greg Thelen "We're going to refurbish the beach area, cure some erosion problems, bring in sand and basically create a nice beach area." With an anticipated 300-day work schedule, the two new buildings should be ready in time for summer 2011 guests. Cleburne gets about 60,000 guests annually. "This bathhouse area is the premiere hang-out spot on the entire lake," says Thelen, "but it has deteriorated over time, along with the building, and people stopped using it. When this building is completed and this beach rebuilt, it will be a major day-use destination for people coming to the park." The park has been without a store for six years, due to the condition of the old concession building. The new structure will offer room for a small, grill-type food service and a small store. Just across Cedar Grove camping loop from the concession bathhouse, the group barracks are also a popular and appreciated feature. There is a strong demand at Cleburne and other state parks for barracks-style accommodations. Families, scout troops, church groups and others are among those leasing the entire unit. The old barracks was in much use despite being held together, literally in some places, by baling wire. "It will be a great addition compared to what we had," says Park Superintendent Collis Park. The new barracks are made from more durable material, will have modern and larger bathrooms with lockers for both genders, will be more energy efficient, and have built-in bathroom heaters and heated and air-conditioned dorms. Like all new Texas State Parks construction, they will meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards. Visitors find plenty to do at Cleburne State Park, located just 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth, and 14 miles from Cleburne. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps on the site where Native Americans and cowboy trail drivers used to camp, the park opened in 1938. The 528-acre park encircles 116-acre Cedar Lake, a no-wake lake that features a lovely three-tier spillway built by the CCC in 1935. "We have people who bring their big boats, their pontoons, and we don't have any problem with it," Park says. "A lot of people like to kayak and canoe. They use fly rods. We are noted for a lot of crappie. Inland Fisheries (a division of Texas Parks and Wildlife) stock catfish in here every year. We're in the process of working with Inland Fisheries right now to improve our fishing." The park has 58 campsites, all with water and either 30- or 50-amp hook-ups. Some include sewer facilities. There are also six screen shelters. The heavily-wooded park is a draw for wildlife lovers, with plenty of raccoons, turkeys, ducks, bobcats, possums, rabbits and squirrels, plus plentiful songbirds and other native fliers. Trail bikers also are attracted to the six-miles of wooded hike and bike trails.

Board of Supervisors Adopts Living Wage for
Fairfax County Government Employees
At its meeting today, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved the adoption of a living wage of $12.75 an hour for all merit, regular, retirement-eligible county employees, effective Sept. 15.
The yearly fiscal impact of this action based on current pay rates is projected to be $52,834, with the cost absorbed by county agencies. The action will affect 49 employees, primarily in maintenance, custodial and administrative positions.
The board directed that the county's living wage be the highest of either the rate paid in Arlington County or the city of Alexandria. The rate will be reviewed annually. The current Arlington County rate is $11.80 and the city of Alexandria rate is $12.75.
At its Aug. 6 meeting, the board stated that it will be the policy of the board to encourage all county vendors and employers located within the county to adopt a similar living wage for their employees. Fairfax County government cannot legally mandate a living wage for vendors and other employers. However, the following clause will be part of each county purchasing solicitation: "Fairfax County is committed to paying a living wage to all qualified county employees and encourages contractors and subcontractors involved in all county programs, services, and activities to pay a living wage to their employees."

Bill Carne meets up with talented young Haverfordwest karter, Ryan Edwards, to chat about Ryan's splendid start in such a high speed sport . . .
Ryan Edwards is rapidly making a name for himself in the world of karting, with his cool driving skills and his ability to analyse conditions and distances giving him an edge over most other 14 year olds who are involved in this mechanical sport, where speed is of the essence.
Ryan hails from Haverfordwest and started his karting adventure at the age of 10, after watching a race at Llandow in Cowbridge, near Cardiff. Once Ryan, mum and dad saw the competition, they all had the bug and were hooked! His dad Alex thought back to when Ryan started driving a pedal kart at the age of three round the yard like a mad man, but at the same time, avoiding every obstacle and showing great skill - and Team Edwards was perhaps already up and running!
We let Alex take up the story:
"We started to make enquiries in December 2009 at Llandow Kart Club's 'Racing Academy', which is a racing school held over six weekends, or more if required, to learn the skills to pass an ARKS (Association of Racing Kart Schools) test and obtain a racing licence. Ryan showed early promise and really shone amongst his peers.
"Within four lessons, it was decided to buy Ryan his own kart and everything else needed to race so we bought a second hand kart on eBay and went to Dunkerswell, Nigel Mansell's race track in Exeter, to pick it up. Unfortunately it was too small, so as you can imagine, we were disappointed!
"Fortunately, the staff at Dunkerswell allowed Ryan to have a drive on the track in one of their spare karts. We were delighted that the journey was not made for nothing, and Ryan put a helmet on and set off, on a track he couldn't see, and had no idea what lay beyond the 25 metres visibility afforded by monsoon rain, bouncing a good six inches off the track as he drove away.
"Within seconds we lost sight of Ryan in the rain. We could hear karts racing round and every minute or so, got a brief sight of them, but we were worried for Ryan as he didn't know the circuit and drove round until he eventually found the exit on to the pit lane. The funny thing was, he would have never found the exit unless the marshals had flagged him down and opened up some barriers to get him off the track. He loved it!
"The journey home was sad, however, because we had no kart so we ordered a brand new kart from 'Project One' in Kent. It was beautiful, with gleaming graphics, new engine and brand new tyres. It was a shame to put it on the track it was that nice to look at!
"Once Ryan's seat was fitted and adjustments made, it was time to get a feel of the kart; we were very excited and couldn't wait to get on to the circuit!
"When Ryan approached the pit lane there was a sudden realisation that we were sharing the track with the full racing grid! We thought we would have the track to ourselves, but we were wrong! Ryan had to share the track with the full grid of 30 experienced drivers.
"Ryan had only driven corporate 'arrive and drive' karts until now, and we feared for Ryan's safety but he wasn't fazed at all, despite being passed, pushed, and shoved from all directions.
"He had been thrown in at the deep end and when Ryan eventually returned, the beautiful kart looked like it had been to hell and back. Welcome to karting!"
Now armed with a competitive kart, they couldn't compete until Ryan had a licence, and one day whilst at Llandow practicing, the father of a competitor asked Alex "Have you applied for his ARKS test yet?" It turned out that Ryan was only two-tenths off leading pace!
So the family applied, and waited patiently for a date. Ryan shared the track with senior drivers, one who was in his 40's, on a quicker kart. Alex told Ryan, "don't get in anybody's way and concentrate on consistent lap times and good lines, (part of the criteria). Ryan acknowledged his words, but clearly didn't listen because he got fed up after a lap stuck behind the senior driver and overtook him through a corner! Alex naturally thought Edwards Junior had blown it, but the examiner called the drivers in when he had seen enough evidence of driving standards and called Ryan over to speak to him personally. Ryan thought he was to receive a telling off but the examiner said, "Well done! That was a nice clean manoeuvre when you overtook that kart." Relieved Ryan passed the test!
Ryan soon got his confidence and became very competitive, very quickly. In his five races as a novice he won best novice three times. His first race without novice plates came in December 2010, when the driving conditions were frosty and very slippery, Ryan's favourite, and he won the Celtic Challenge, to everyone's surprise.
Alex said, "Our dream was seeing Ryan competing at club level, following that to receive a trophy. Success takes you to the next challenge, and your dreams become bigger than you ever imagined."
Since 2010, Ryan has become a big name in karting. He has had tremendous highs and many disappointments along the way. Ryan has dealt with an engine failure leading the last lap of the South West Championship, but been Celtic Champ and Welsh Champ twice! In the NKRA he suffered a blowout whilst battling for the lead. However, Ryan has been seen applauding drivers over the finish line after losing to mechanical failure, evidence of maturity on young shoulders!
Ryan has over 40 trophies, awarded driver of the year 2012, accolade for sportsmanship and achievement. Ryan continues to achieve massive success and recognition at the top level! He has won the Celtic Challenge twice, Llandow club championship and proudly claims first Welshman home after becoming seeded 13th in the 2013 Super 1 British Kart Championship in his first year.
Ryan is registered for the 2014 British Kart Championship, and aims to become the 2014 British Junior TKM champion! Ryan said, "I wish to thank my mum, dad, friends who have helped along the way and especially STP school for all the support in allowing me to compete at national level. I hope to make Wales proud with the British title."

York cycle campaigners attempt to save key cycle route
The City of York built the suburban orbital cycle route as part of its three year Whitehall-funded Cycling Demonstration City programme.
As part of the development, cycle facilities were installed on a link road between the A59 and A19. At one end, a short left turn vehicle lane was removed and replaced by an advisory cycle lane. This safely transferred cyclists from an off-road route to the traffic lights at an on road advance stop line. The scheme was completed during Liberal Democrats' rule of the Council, and was supported by the then opposition, Labour.
But local elections then intervened.
The short cycle lane had been blamed for subsequent peak congestion and rat running and it was turned into a cause célèbre by all election candidates. The Labour group took control and found themselves landed with a pledge to undo the work.
Since then, local cycle campaigners Paul Hepworth, Ron Healey and Richard Twigg, have united with local campaign groups to lobby for the retention of the existing safe arrangement.
This has also been supported by local Emergency Services, including the Fire Brigade and ambulance drivers.
Two alternative options have since been put forward, both of which worsen cyclist safety and require them to mix with motor vehicles as they approach the junction.
A public consultation on these brought 60% support for the existing arrangement, despite no formal "do nothing" option. This was largely due to Paul and Ron leafleting cyclists at the junction. Paul also vigorously argued CTC's case at several council meetings.
The debate has now been elevated to the Council's Cabinet, when a final decision is expected. Green Party councillors have garnered sufficient support to "call in" a decision for further scrutiny, if change is agreed by the Cabinet on April 3rd. So watch this space - our campaigners continue the battle.

Democrats of Faith, Then and Now
While doing research for our upcoming shows about religion and politics, I tracked down a 1980 advertisement for Jimmy Carter (above), which seemed to make a more explicit religious appeal than any campaign advertisement I'd ever seen before. Carter was one of the first modern politicans to make a big issue of his religious faith, and one of the few Democrats on the national stage to do so. Then today I ran across a radio ad for Obama, produced by the Political Action Committee Matthew 25 Network, which is also surprisingly direct in its religious appeal.
What do you think? Are you one of the 46% of Americans, according to the Pew Forum on Religious & Public Life, who feels uncomfortable when politicians talk about their own religion? Or do you think we're better off when both sides of the campaign are addressing religious values in the presidential election?

Cam scrap metal hailer prosecuted
2:53pm Thursday 16th January 2014
2:53pm Thursday 16th January 2014
TWO cases of people unlawfully hailing for scrap metal through a loud speaker system from a collection vehicle have been dealt with at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court
On Monday, January 6 the court heard how the traditional "any old iron" hail was broadcast across the areas of Cam and Stroud to advertise collection in different dates.
In August 2013, a hail was witnessed by both a Stroud District Council housing officer and one of its neighbourhood wardens in the Nordown Road area of Cam.
An investigation traced the vehicle to James Dutton, 45, operating out of the Lydney area.
Mr Dutton pleaded guilty in court and was given a 12-month conditional discharge and required to pay a £15 victim surcharge as well as £85 in costs.
The other case occurred in June 2013 when the hail was witnessed by a Stroud District Council housing officer in the College Road area of Stroud.
Subsequent investigation traced the vehicle to Leighton Lorrimore, a scrap metal dealer based in Caerphilly.
In court, Mr Lorrimore was found guilty of the offence in his absence, fined £400 and required to pay a £40 victim surcharge as well as £195 in costs.
In recent months the council has received a number of similar complaints. In addition to the above prosecutions, two further cases resulted in the offenders being formally cautioned.
A Stroud District Council spokesman said: "The use of loudspeakers in this manner for the advertising of a business can cause significant disturbance across entire neighbourhoods and we do get complaints. "These cases clearly demonstrate our commitment to addressing those issues."
Anyone wishing to report a noise nuisance should call the council on 01453 754478 or email email@example.com

Thousands of Nebraskans would have easier access to dental care under a bill that Sen. Russ Karpisek of Wilber advocates.
In 2007, legislation passed that allowed licensed dental hygienists to perform preventative care without the supervision of a dentist in public-health settings, but only if they had 3,000 hours of experience -- roughly a year-and-a-half of full-time experience, Karpisek said.
To practice on adults, dental hygienists would still need to meet the experience requirement, according to Karpisek's proposal (LB 484.)
Karpisek said procedures in a dental hygienists scope of practice -- including oral cleaning and the application of sealants and fluorides -- are basic and already included in the hygienists education.
Proponent Jane Brockemeier, a dental hygienist and Nebraska Dental Hygienists Association representative, said the expansion would help reach those most vulnerable to tooth decay and disease, including low-income children and nursing home residents.
Faster service, less waste
Members of the HHS committee also listened to proponents of another health care bill -- LB326 -- which would put automated pill dispensers in locked medication rooms in nursing homes for easier access to residents prescriptions.
Currently, most facilities require pills to be delivered by a pharmacy technician and checked into the nursing home, a process that can take hours.
Sen. Sara Howard of Omaha, the bills sponsor, said the measure would modernize elder care, help reduce medication waste and therefore cut costs for patients and taxpayers.
We wont see medication thrown away because were not using it, she said.
Proponent Larry Johnson, director of government relations for Golden Living Centers elder care franchise, said the technology would save four hours of nursing time that would be spent passing pills to residents.
Nursing home staff would have more time to spend working on residents care instead, he said.
No one testified against either bill.

I've been going through this book because I'm fairly new to PHP. I've come to the section on p261 which indicates to download markdown.php, add it to the project and then add in the new code into helpers include file. I have done this but when I run it I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function Markdown() in C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\helpers.inc.php on line 17
I then downloaded the whole Michelf folder as suggested on the website and updated the path to account for this but I still have the same error. The code is:
function markdown2html($text){$text = html($text);include_once $SERVER['DOCUMENTROOT'] . '/includes/Michelf/Markdown.php';return Markdown($text);}
Can anyone let me know where I am going wrong?
did you include markdown.php ?
Yes I included the whole folder as I mentioned above. It has the markdown.php in it.
Call to undefined function would inidicate that markdown.php does not actually contain a function named Markdown. What is the contents of that file?
I'm just a PHP n00b myself, but could it be a matter of referring to Markdown.php vs. markdown.php (case sensitivity)?
Yes, that could be the reason
Is the test enviroment set to send out E_ALL errors? If so, you'd have seen a E_WARNING level error on the include line.
I've used the example which is:function markdownout($text){//echo markdown2html($text);include_once '...includes/markdown.php';return Markdown($text);}
in the markdown.php the function starts: class Markdown {...
I've taken it out of the folder from the Michelf example to see that is the problem, but now I get no errors just nothing else on the page.

Rococo Art
Begun as decorative art in the 18th century, Rococo continued to spread its influence on paintings in France. Unlike preceding styles of art, Rococo artists, for example, Watteau and Boucher, discard the image of God or saint and focus on the depiction of nobles in the palace.
Rococo Fine Art
The spirit of Rococo fine art lies in an intricate and sportive touch. 'Pilgrimage on the isle of Cythera', an excellent piece done by Jean Antoine Watteau depicts a cherub which is a frequent element in Rococo art. The painting's intricate colors and asymmetric composition lend itself to be a splendid motif on canvas print, art print or poster. Another great artist Francois Boucher has a fantastic piece 'Marie-Louise O'Murphy', which will be stunning on poster as decoration. A large format poster of this Rococo portray gives an elegant touch to every home.
Why ARTFLAKES?
At ARTFLAKES, up to four dimensions of poster are provided, other themes like landscapes with fantastic designs and delicate leafy forms are also available. As much as we love art, your purchased poster will be printed on high quality paper. Nevertheless, ARTFLAKES provides a money back guarantee to satisfy your need to select the best piece of art.

Transportation Funding
In June 2010, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors adopted a new Comprehensive Plan for Tysons. The plan will transform Tysons into a transit-oriented mixed-use urban center. A major component of this plan is a redesigned transportation system that maximizes the advantages of establishing four new Metrorail stations. This new transportation system will include a vastly improved street network, better pedestrian and bicycle routes, community shuttles, and improved transit systems both within Tysons and connecting Tysons to the surrounding neighborhoods. All of these improvements will reduce the time, cost, and inconvenience of getting to and moving within Tysons. More information on the Tysons Comprehensive Plan Transportation Improvements is available in the Transportation section.
The Board of Supervisors has directed the Tysons Corner Committee of the Planning Commission to work on potential strategies and arrangements for funding the needed infrastructure and report back to the Board on how to best address these issues.
Staff has created a preliminary proposal on how to share costs between the private and the public sectors. The preliminary proposal represents staff thoughts at this time and will change based upon discussions with the community and Tysons Corner Committee.
Funding Presentations:
July 14, 2011: Implementing Transportation Improvements in Tysons, was presented to the Tysons Committee of the Planning Commission. It identifies the process that staff used to allocate funding responsibility between the public and private sectors, the decisions made within that process, and their outcomes.
Dec. 15, 2010: Preliminary Staff Proposal for Funding Tysons Transportation, provided a preliminary staff proposal for allocating funding responsibility between the public and private sectors. It is based upon improvements recommended in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and reviewed shared funding models previously used in Fairfax County.
May 6, 2010: Funding Tysons Transportations Improvements (PDF), provided early preliminary cost estimates based on a draft of the plan (the Tysons Corner Plan Amendment was not adopted until June 22, 2010) and reviewed potential funding options available to raise revenue to cover improvement costs.
Funding Documentation:
Tysons-wide Road Project Estimates, Phases II & III (by 2030) (Dec, 2010), identifies the planning level cost estimate for each of the Tysons-wide Road Improvements as identified in Table 7.
Tysons-wide Road Projects Graphic (July, 2010), identifies the general location within Tysons for each of the Tysons-wide Road Improvement projects as identified in Table 7.
Grid of Street Estimate, Phases II & III (by 2030) (July, 2010), describes the planning level cost estimate for the 2030 Grid of Street improvements and considerations if funded by the private sector through redevelopment projects.

A Southern California anesthesiologist said he believed an unconscious patient "would get a kick" out of him placing stickers on her face during surgery, but the horrified woman has sued him and the hospital for allegedly spreading a cellphone photograph on the Internet.
Dr. Patrick Yang's action during the October 2011 surgery also has prompted a state investigation and a rebuke from Torrance Memorial Medical Center, which called his joke a "breach of professionalism" but kept him employed.
The attorney for Veronica Valdez, 36, who worked at the hospital for 13 years before her surgery, said Valdez did not find any humor in the doctor's antics or in the photo that another employee took of her face while she was out cold.
"There's no such thing as a joke in the operating room. For them to play a joke is cruel in my opinion," attorney Andrew Ryan said. "I have not seen anything like this. It's an incredible breach of privacy, of HIPAA, of common decency, of the Hippocratic Oath."
Ryan said Valdez started in the hospital's kitchen, went to night school to become a nursing assistant and was promoted to a job ordering medical supplies for the operating room. She underwent finger surgery in 2011.
In his deposition, Yang admitted to cutting up sticky medication labels with scissors and attaching teardrops and a mustache to her face.
"I think she would get a laugh out of it," he told attorneys. "She would appreciate it, thought that it was funny."
Asked if he was bored at the time, Yang said, "I don't recall my state of mind except that I thought she would think that was funny, so I did that so she would get a kick out of it."
Ryan said everyone in the room laughed at Valdez when they saw it. One employee, nursing assistant Patricia Gomez, was asked by Yang to take the photograph, but denied emailing it or posting it on Facebook.
But co-workers told attorneys they did see it on Facebook, Ryan said.
"It really ruined my client's career of 13 years," Ryan said. "It's just really unfortunate and it changed her life forever."
The lawsuit also alleges that Valdez's neck was positioned while she was unconscious "so that they could keep her mouth open in order to make a crude sexual joke."
Ryan said Valdez took three weeks off following her surgery but developed cervical spine issues. She began to receive "very strange comments and weird things started happening to her.
"She was really kind of sent into a downward spiral," Ryan said. "She didn't want to go back."
Torrance Memorial Medical Center issued a statement saying the photograph was indeed taken at Yang's request, but it was intended to be humorous. Yang, the statement said, was friendly with Valdez and had a good working relationship with her.
The hospital said a "breach of professionalism" occurred, but it is vigorously defending the lawsuit and requesting its dismissal. A hearing is scheduled today.
"Most of the allegations stated in the plaintiff's complaint are factually inaccurate, grossly exaggerated or fabricated," the statement said. "The patient and her attorney reported the incident to multiple authorities who conducted investigations. No criminal charges were filed or citations given. In addition, the medical center reported the situation to the Joint Commission and the American Nurses Credentialing Center, both of which investigated and closed the incident with no findings."
The statement said the anesthesiologist and the nurse assistant who took the photograph "demonstrated poor judgment."
"This type of behavior, despite the familiarity of the patient, is not condoned and cannot happen in an operating room," the statement said.
Yang and his Torrance Anesthesia Medical Group were suspended for two weeks.
Hospital officials disciplined the nursing assistant who took the photograph, conducted internal behavioral training for the operating room staff and has "strengthened its policy on patient privacy," which includes a zero tolerance for taking photos in the operating room, the statement said.
The California Department of Public Health also is conducting an investigation.
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act approved by Congress about 12 years ago, details federal regulations for patient privacy.

President Obama started his first term seeking to distance the United States from Israel in an effort to jump-start Middle East peace talks. As it turned out, the fights he picked with Israel over settlements, borders and Jerusalem not only failed to entice the Palestinians back to the negotiating table, but also actually caused them to be more intransigent on issues that required compromise if peace is ever to be made. But that hasn't stopped some on the left from dreaming about the president starting off his second term with one of their favorite fantasies: an American peace plan that would be imposed on Israel's government on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
That's the rumor floated by Akiva Eldar in Haaretz yesterday. The veteran journalist is a virulent critic of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and, like others on the Israeli left, has long since despaired of being able to convince their fellow Israelis to follow their advice. Since Israeli democracy has consistently failed to produce a government that will do as he thinks best, he is hoping the re-elected American president will issue a dictat that will effectively nullify the results of the planned January vote for a new parliament that is likely to return Netanyahu's existing center-right coalition to power. But though Eldar is right to think that Obama would probably like nothing better than to hammer the Israelis again, he's making the same mistakes Israeli leftists have made for the last 20 years of peace processing: ignoring the Palestinians. They can always be counted on to spike any deal no matter how favorable it might be to their cause.

To be fair, Lucy really needs someone like Carter who would be willing to put up with her and love her unconditionally. Too bad Carter's freakin' weird. And somewhat homicidal.
Oh yeah, I love this, but I want PauloXLucy, not CarterXLucy, that's easy man

Schick Hydro Silk Razor
Schick Hydro Silk Razor Reviews
Almost but not quitePros: I love the handle - very ergonomic and no slipping. Also really like that the head pivots and the blades are nice and sharp. Cons: The moisture strip really wasn't very moisturizing. The blades are widely spaced which felt odd. The head is quite wide and long which made it hard to navigate around the knees. — 4 years, 7 months agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews

Great razor for the price rangeI love this razor. I got this razor as a sample to try a few days ago, and I think it is really good. I have tried all kinds of razors, from the super cheap ones from the dollar store to the moderately expensive ones. This is what I consider "moderately expensive" for me, at least. Great razor, I am quite impressed! Though I prefer epilating over shaving, if I had to pick a razor it'd be this one....read more So far no cuts or irritated skin like with others I have tried in the past. I have used it both with and without shaving cream and it definitely works better with it. The moisturizing bar definitely leaves skin moisturized. Great handle for easy handling, and great for any area of the body. The prize is really not that bad as you can buy at major retailers for about ten dollars. Overall, it is a great razor, leaves skin smooth and the save does last a little longer than others. Highly recommended! — 4 years, 7 months agoyestfl | 239 reviews

Provides a very close shaveI got this razor as a freebie somehow but was reluctant to use it because I love the design of my Schick Quattro Razor so much and this is a very different to that. Because this razor has five blades and moisture strips all around that, it is quite bulky. The handle however, is lightweight and easy to grip. This took some getting used to, and I still think it could be better at getting around m...read morey ankles and knees, but I do really like the shave it gives. Because this has five blades, it provides a really close shave. The moisture strips around the blades get a little gooey when wet, but they do help keep my dry, itchy legs slightly more moisturized. After a couple weeks using this razor (I change my razors out about once a month), the moisturizing strips aren't doing much anymore, but that is OK. When I first used this I thought it was decent but that I would return to my Schick Quattro in a month. After using this a few times though, I realize that my legs stay smoother for longer and I think it is due to this razor's incredibly close shave. I may actually abandon my favorite razor for this, despite its rather bulky design. — 4 years, 6 months agoHeathRene | 285 reviews

The president says that Republicans are punished for being too chummy with him, but what about when goes out and attacks Republicans? What about when he made a fiscal cliff deal all but impossible by hectoring and goading conservatives into opposition.
In his own unified theory of media destruction, wouldn't the president acknowledge that his own attacks, including the accusation that Republicans are working against what they know to be the best interests of the nation, would have some effect? Wouldn't Obama have done better to reach a deal on taxes and spending if he had given John Boehner some cover rather than hitting the campaign trail?
If Obama stands silent on the immigration deal or even complains that he will have to sign it even though it represents a painful sacrifice, then we will know he actually believes his own spin on the double bias of media.
If Obama presses for more or revels in victory, he would be blowing up the deal under his own stated view of how the right operates. If the political world is constituted as he claims it is, wouldn't the patriotic thing for Obama to do be staying out of it except to briefly wince at the concessions he is making before signing a law?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For those of us on the East Coast, Fatburger may not ring a bell, given the dozens of burger chains including Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Smashburger, Jake's Wayback Burgers and others furiously opening stores. But, come this spring, that will change. The 60-year-old Los Angeles-based burger chain will open the first of 10 locations set for New York City through a partnership with Riese Organization, one of the largest restaurant-management companies in the area. So-called better-burger restaurants are taking the fast-casual segment by storm. (Fast-casual sits between limited-service chains like McDonald's ( MCD) and full-service restaurants such as DineEquity's ( DIN) Applebee's.) >>>How Five Guys Got Us Eating Its Burgers While the name Fatburger seems to be a nod toward its calorie-rich menu offerings like the XXXL Fatburger, the Fat Salad or the Fat Fries (Skinny Fries are also available), the restaurant's name is actually derived from Hollywood's Golden Age when terms like "fat cat" and "fat city" were the rage. Today, that feeling has remained with the brand. Fatburger is popular among Hollywood celebrities and has even been cited in songs by several iconic hip-hop stars. While Fatburger reached its 60th anniversary last year, the company went through a rough patch. Ten years ago, Fog Cutter Capital Group acquired Fatburger. CEO Andy Wiederhorn came on in 2006 and has been aggressively turning the once-struggling chain around by expanding internationally. In 2003, there were just 40 Fatburgers, mostly on the West Coast. Today there are 150 stores across the world, with about 300 either under construction or in development in 27 countries. Last year the company brought in $100 million in system-wide sales, up 22% from 2011. Fatburger and other better-burger chains have nowhere near the number of outlets as their fast-food competitors, but the opportunity is immense. Consumers are looking for value-driven meals, but at the same time are more conscious of how their food is prepared and where it comes from. "Consumers definitely are challenging the

Santa Barbara is home to some of California's most picturesque vineyards. The modern era of Santa Barbara wine making started relatively late in this Central Coast region--but it grew quickly. Beginning with a mere 11 acres under vine in 1969, Santa Barbara expanded to more than 7,000 acres by 1980, and it is approaching 11,000 acres. The majority of the vineyards are found in two regions north of the city of Santa Barbara: the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.
Santa Barbara white wine varieties count for more than 75% of the plantings, the leader being Chardonnay followed distantly by Johannesburg Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are the top the red varieties. The most successful white wines have been Chardonnay and Riesling; as for Santa Barbara reds, Pinot Noir, though erratic, has greatly outdistanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
It is remarkable that an industry essentially less than a half-century old could capture the attention of the American wine-buying public to the degree that California has. Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in a benign climate featuring endless sunshine, very warm summer days, and generally dry harvests, and wonderfully fruity, full, and satisfying, and rarely too austere or tannic to be enjoyed from day one.
California is blessed with an extraordinary range of soils and microclimates, allowing for the successful cultivation of many varieties. In at least three out of four years, the best sites produce healthy, ripe fruits that are the envy of European producers in more marginal climates. The other reason Americans buy so much California wine is that California is the home team. Clearly, a high percentage of domestic wine drinkers are more comfortable buying American wines (and not just wines of California) than imports. Then, too, foreign bottles are generally identified by place name, rather than by the more familiar varieties that American wine drinkers have come to know and enjoy.
Moreover, in much of North America, outside the top 15 or 20 largest metropolitan markets, consumers have limited access to imported wines even if they wanted to buy them.
For many, Napa Valley is California wine, and Cabernet is king in Napa Valley. Meanwhile, the Burgundy varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have gravitated to cooler areas, generally closer to the Pacific, such as the western stretches of Sonoma County, the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, and the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez valleys within Santa Barbara County. Syrah vines have yielded interesting wines in a range of styles all over the state, in regions as disparate as Mendocino County, the Sonoma coast, Carneros, Paso Robles, and Santa Maria Valley. Very good Zinfandel similarly comes from multiple growing areas, although to date the age-of-vines variable has been almost as important as geography. Zinfandel, though its roots are in Europe, is a true California original and the only California wine imitated abroad. It's also a variety of which there are still significant plantings of very old vines, in some cases dating back to the end of the 19th century.
Emerging from the tiny appellation of Condrieu in the northern Rhone, Viognier has become a rising star in California vineyards, as our American palates have evolved to appreciate more aromatic white wines. Still, the most desired bottlings of Viognier continue to come from Condrieu, a region just south of the city of Lyon.
Centuries of cultivation here have taught producers how to deal with some of the temperamental characteristics of the grape. Viognier is highly sensitive to mildew and generates low and unpredictable yields. Proper harvesting is also a challenge: if picked too early, the grape fails to display its full profile of flavors and aromas; picked too late, the grape makes wines that are oily and lacking perfume.
In Condrieu, local conditions are also unique: the Mistral winds off the Mediterranean play a moderating role in viticulture, cooling the wines after the heat of the summer. Vines grow on steep, granite-rich slopes, allowing grapes to reach great concentration. The age of the vines also makes a difference, for Viognier vines don't hit their peak until at least 15-20 years of age-- some of Condrieu's vines are at least 70 years of age. The result is a delicate white with the aroma of a powerful sweet wine.
Viognier from Condrieu is also an exception to the rule under which expensive wines are also age-worthy wines. Condrieu is generally best in its first year or two after release, because its distinctive aroma often mellow after this period. Yet this wine is not cheap; the small size of the appellation limits the amount of wine produced. Look for wines from E. Guigal and Yves Cuilleron.
The improving quality of California Viognier has provided an lower-priced alternative to the wines of Condrieu. Viognier is a bit of trail-blazer-- its success in California helped pave the way for other Rhone varietals, like Roussane and Marsanne. Here, Viognier has recovered from an early impulse among producers to apply vinification techniques better suited to Chardonnay. Now, the best examples retain the aromatic complexity of the grape-- ill-fated experiments using lots of oak barrels are largely resigned to the past. Look for wines from Cold Heaven and Alban Vineyards.
Thanks to its aromatic intensity, Viognier can stand up to spicy foods like Thai or Indian cuisine better than most wines. Another reliable bet is chilled seafood, especially shellfish.
2011 had 6 regions scored 95 or above. Port and Northern Rhone got the highest score, with a 99 and 98, respectively.
Other regions that scored 95 points or higher were Sauternes, Bolgheri (Tuscany), Loire, and Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (Germany).

Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing
bilirubin levels that cause
jaundice in a newborn.
In the standard
form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib
(incubator) and is exposed to a type of fluorescent light that is absorbed by
your baby's skin. During this process, the bilirubin in the baby's body is
changed into another form that can be more easily excreted in the stool and
A baby with jaundice may need to stay under a phototherapy
light for several days. Phototherapy doesn't damage a baby's
During this type of phototherapy:
Potential problems that may occur during this standard form
of phototherapy include:
Another type of phototherapy is a fiber-optic blanket or a
band. These devices wrap around a baby and can be used at home. Although
fiber-optic phototherapy has been shown to reduce bilirubin levels, it takes
longer than conventional phototherapy done in a hospital setting. It can be a
good alternative for babies with mild jaundice who are otherwise
If your baby is being treated
at home for jaundice, it is important that you understand how to use all the
equipment. Ask your health professional for help if you have questions or
concerns. A home health nurse may visit to make sure all is going well. The
amount of bilirubin in your baby's blood may need to be measured daily.

According to the 2012 CU senior survey, if students could do college differently, 46 percent of seniors on campus said they wished they had studied abroad.
Luckily at CU-Boulder, the Office of International Education offers an assortment of opportunities for everyone. With 340 distinct programs, in more than 70 countries around the world and an army of study abroad staff to answer every thinkable question, students have all the tools necessary to make it happen.
"Our goal, which we have met, is to have programs for every undergraduate major, and to do our best to meet the needs of every student," said Mary Dando, director of Study Abroad Programs with CU's Office of International Education. "Right now we have about 1300 students going abroad on our programs."
Some programs available for students interested in studying abroad are the School for International Training, Council on International Educational Exchange, International Studies Abroad, and Global Links, with opportunities to study pretty much anywhere, including Semester At Sea.
The deadline for studying abroad this spring is Oct. 1, 2013. For the upcoming fall, summer and academic year, the deadline is March 1, 2014.
"Every student who returns says the experience has changed their life," said Dando. "It's a transformational, educational experience that can only occur by living abroad." And at CU, students can easily find what suits their interests, like host family housing, project-based work or even faculty-led programs that are shorter and arranged over holiday, spring and summer breaks.
Piper Jackson-Sevy is a CU senior who went to Peru her sophomore year with the Council for International Education and Exchange. After her valuable time there, Jackson-Sevy continued to work for the Council, a nonprofit organization and world leader in study abroad programs. After completing her project-based internship on market research, Jackson-Sevy presented her work to the CEO and senior staff.
And looking back, she has no regrets. "As far as one semester of awesomeness goes, study abroad does it," said Jackson-Sevy. "No matter where you go, you'll have the most amazing time."
Dana Ward and Ian Mallams, both CU graduates, studied in two different countries in Africa with the School for International Training three years ago. Ward found that her experience in Cameroon and France helped her with her French and thesis writing, noting that every minute was a valuable experience. Mallams, who spent four months in Tanzania, found that his experience never escaped him after the four months were up.
"Every day, or at least once a week, there are still things that you realize about how American culture is and how it's different," said Mallams. "Two years, almost three years later, and I'm still thinking, 'oh wow, I didn't really think about that before and I wouldn't have if I never went.'"
Mallams graduated from CU with degrees in Environmental Studies and Geography. He chose a program that focused on wildlife ecology and political conservation in Tanzania abroad, where he made a map for a private game reserve, highlighting habitat loss for the animals.
As Dando explained, the Study Abroad Programs office has two types of advisors to help students when it comes to choosing the right program. Global advisors are available on a walk-in basis, so students can get a broad understanding of what their options are.
"If they've really narrowed it down and know they really want to go to the Middle East, or really want to go to Africa or Italy or New Zealand, then we have a schedule for regional advising teams," said Dando. So, after choosing a region, students can get lots of advice on which program for their major is the best fit.
Interested students can learn more during daily walk-in sessions (Study Abroad 101) held at the Center for Community. Visit the Study Abroad website, for more information regarding GPA requirements, tuition costs, financial aid requirements and every program available through CU. To view more student testimonials, check out the abroad program's YouTube channel, or visit studyabroad.colorado.edu.
