Hello, everyone!!
Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere!
So, this is the part where we get to learn a little bit about each other, so this should be fun. :) I've posted some things about me or my life throughout my last two years of blogging, but the fast way to learn the basics is by checking out my About Me page. I also give weekly updates on my Gone with the Week posts.
My interview swap is with Courtney of Chaos Theory. I didn't know Courtney before I interviewed her, so I had a fun time getting to know her and her blog. Sadly, I don't have her answers quite yet and her interview of me is not up quite yet. She did mention having computer trouble, so I'm sure that's the reason. Once I have them, I will post them for you guys.
In the meantime, check out Courtney's interview of yours truly below! She asked some great questions! :D
1. If you could go back and read a book for the first time again, which book would you chose and why?
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon – This is book is just so magnificent and the beginning of such an epic series.
2. How and why did you get into book blogging?
I got back into reading avidly in 2009, but it wasn't until 2010 that I discovered Goodreads and the book blogging community. I thought it was amazing how we could all share our thoughts and love or hate for books in our own personal corners of the internet. So, in January of 2011, I started my book blog as a New Year's resolution and have not looked back since. I love it here. :)
3. What are the best and worst perks of being a book blogger? Why?
The best perk is definitely the book blogging community. I have made so many friendships since I started blogging. I have never had this sense of rightness or belonging before. The worst is the pressure we sometimes put on ourselves to keep up with the big dogs. I started blogging for myself, and sometimes I lose track of that and feel completely overwhelmed. The key is letting go of the gas pedal and slowing down when you get to that point.
4. How did you get started in receiving and reviewing advanced copies of books?
I honestly cannot remember how I first learned about ARCs, but I'm sure it was through another blogger, because before I started I had no idea what ARCs were. I actually started through Netgalley. It's really the best tool for newbie bloggers. Physical ARCs didn't come until later on, and that was by sending an email request to publishers, which are still pretty hit and miss for me.
5. What is one non-bookish interesting fact about yourself?
I love to dance to any Latin music. It's in my blood. Being Mexican-American, any Latin beat will move me.
6. If you could go back and tell your 13 year old self something, what would it be and why?
Easy. Don't give up reading! I read so much as a kid, but soon books were replaced by other interests. Mainly friends and boys. :/
7. What is the one book you wish you had been the author of?
Any Contemporary Romance novel. Why? Because I want to make someone's heart happy the way they make my heart happy. That's a wonderful feeling, I bet.
8. What is one thing that your readers would be shocked/surprised I learn about you?
I think you and my readers would be shocked/surprised to learn that I'm a bit more shy in person than I am online. It takes me a few conversations with someone to feel comfortable enough to be my goofy self.
9. What character from what book do you relate most to and why?
I have yet to read one character where I've felt that "Whoa..that's totally me!" moment. But I always find at least one trait in one character of each book I read that feels like one of my traits. Usually it's a sarcastic or smart-mouthed trait that really speaks to me, lol.
10. If you could travel into one book to visit one place where in what book would it be and why?
I'd love to travel to the Paris in Anna and the French Kiss. The cafes, the movie theatres, the parks…it all sounded amazing.

Raleigh, NC — — Raleigh's favorite acupuncture and holistic health center, Advanced Healthcare Solutions, published a new blog post entitled "Improve Your Game With Acupuncture for Athletes." In the post, they state that acupuncture is a vital component to athletic training practices because it helps the body heal faster, become more flexible, and eliminate pain in addition to reducing stress and anxiety that can hinder athletic performance.
Director of Clinical Services Marc Cutler says, "For the fitness and sports lovers, it's common to wear the same brands of clothes, follow the same training regimens, and sometimes even eat the same foods as favorite star athletes. After all, if it works for them, maybe it will work for us, right? But while wearing a special type of sneaker might not help you run faster in reality, there are certain healthy practices star athletes are devoted to that actually do help them perfect their craft. One of these things–shared by Olympians and professional athletes alike–is acupuncture."

One of the fun McDonald's animated commercials that broke recently is Spaceman Stu. I was thrilled to be a part of bringing this little guy to life with the first ad agency for which I ever worked, Leo Burnett. His initial design simple enough, we had him look like a normal little boy, only he seemed to defy gravity by severely leaning back so as to get a better view of the stars. For high-def, go here.

1 Localized documentation is also available for all the languages listed with the exception of Simplified Chinese. While the PAM product has been localized for Simplified Chinese, localized documentation for Simplified Chinese is not available.
Earlier version CA IT PAM 3.0 also supported localizations for Hungarian, Polish, and Russian. If you upgrade from 3.0 to 4.2, and are currently using the Hungarian, Polish, or Russian locales, you will need to change to a supported locale. Content prepared under CA IT PAM 3.0, will continue to be usable.
2 Database servers (Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server) can be located on another host than the corresponding PAM Orchestrator. PAM Orchestrators interact with the Database servers exclusively through the corresponding JDBC drivers. As a result, there are no constraints on supported platforms for Database servers other than those imposed by the Database server vendor.
As opposed to PAM versions 4.0 and 4.1, PAM 4.2 does not require database servers to be configured to enable extended transactions (XA).
3 Oracle bug # 9347941
Important! When running with versions of the Oracle RDBMS prior to release 220.127.116.11 CA Process Automation would occasionally hit known Oracle RDBMS defect 9347941 in which concurrent inserts of CLOB data where the individual column values exceed 52K bytes in size may occasionally have such columns updated incorrectly with data past the 52K offset replaced by spaces. This issue has been seen using both 10g and earlier 11g versions of the Oracle RDBMS.
The symptom most commonly observed with CA Process Automation is that a CA Process Automation process would become stuck, and that the Operator the process is stuck on would need to be reset for the process to continue. Problem is infrequent and is only seen with extremely high rates of update contention.
This has not been seen when running either version 220.127.116.11 or 22.214.171.124 of Oracle, and It is recommended that sites using Oracle for their CA Process Automation databases be running version 188.8.131.52 or 18.104.22.168 or later.
4 Usually where a version of an OS or Database is supported, all Service Packs for that version are supported also. If a component of the version is shown as x, then all releases matching that pattern are supported (E.g. Firefox 4.x indicates support for 4.1, 4.2, etc).
Please check product "Compatibilities" on support.ca.com to confirm support for a specific maintenance level.
5 For PAM Orchestrators, Microsoft Windows ServerStandard, Enterprise, and Datacenter Editions are supported.
6 Windows patch 979306 is required.
7 If you use a Firefox or Chrome browser, it is suggested you disable the inline spell check feature to avoid unnecessary processing.
8 When using Microsoft SQL Server as your RDBMS the jTDS 1.3.1 JDBC driver must be used as the JDBC driver for PAM to connect to its databases. This is shipped with PAM 4.2 on the Third Party Prerequisites DVD in the drivers folder.
9 Starting with version 4.2, PAM includes both the EEM 8.4 SP4 and EEM 12.5 SDK to access EEM services. The version of the EEM SDK used is set during installation. Use of EEM r12 and r12.5 features requires use of the EEM 12.5 SDK, and an EEM Server of the appropriate level. This includes new features implemented in EEM r12 such as configuring the EEM Server for multiple Domains, and support for large (2048/4096 bit) certificate keys (EEM R12.5).
10 The Catalyst 3.4 container embedded within PAM does not support Java 6. Use of Java 7 is mandatory for PAM Orchestrators. This is the opposite of the requirement in earlier versions of PAM, where the use of Catalyst 3.3 required the use of Java 6.

A couple of months ago I started following a strict eating plan in order to shed some extra kilos. This plan, however, requires me to keep track of my daily calorie intake and output as to stay under a specific amount of net calories per day. This is all fine and dandy as the app that I am using can scan barcodes which makes the process of keeping track quite easy. But it wasn't long before I found myself with quite the predicament- I can't accurately count the calories in my glass of wine. And being the wine lover that I am, this is a serious problem. Yes, they do have generic examples of how many calories there would be in a glass of dry red wine (it can be anywhere between 110 and 200 calories), but being the scientist that I am, a guesstimate is not quite going to cut it. And why on earth in this day and age do wine and other alcoholic beverage labels not have nutritional information on them yet? It seems that everything else has them. An investigation is required!
So it turns out that in Europe and specifically in the UK, they are making some progress to include nutritional information such as calories on wine labels. Popular supermarkets in Britain are already including this information on their own bottled wines. Although the inclusion of nutrient information is not enforced by the European Union yet, it seems they want to encourage wineries and producers to come up with their own solution to the problem before penning down a new policy.
This is all very good news for a calorie counter such as myself, but I still can't help to wonder why the wine industry is so hesitant to make this information available to the public. Do we not deserve to know what we are putting into our bodies? I don't think this is the primary concern of the industry. I can only speculate, but the inclusion of nutritional information might seem like a counter intuitive action because it might lead to a decrease in wine sales. The thought is probably that consumers will drink less wine if they are aware of how many calories it contains. In the industry's defence, I would say that is a fair assumption to make and there will be people that will think twice before finishing a bottle on their own after they have had a look at what is in it. But isn't that also an issue that is important to the industry? Promoting responsible drinking? Perhaps it is a good thing if that label stops someone that still has to drive home after the party from opening a second bottle.
Whatever the case may be, I personally look forward to the day when nutritional information is going to be included on wine labels, because let's be honest it is inevitable. Until then, I will keep enjoying my glass(es) of wine- in moderation, of course- as it is still a better option calorie-wise than most other alcoholic beverages like beer, ciders and your favourite (I truly hope not) brandy & coke.

Dat Tuesday
Yesterday was called Dat Tuesday by many. The parade was a kick to watch. We didn't brave the crowds to watch in person, but watched instead from the comfort of the recliner and sofa. Many of the carnival krewes donated a float for the parade and the Saints players looked to be having a great time throwing beads and stuff from the float. The reporters said that a mad scramble was made to find enough black and gold beads for the players to throw. Sean Peyton held the Lombardi Trophy high above so all could see when he passed. That trophy sure has gotten around. Is it always like that?

You didn't go??? How come???
When our White Sox won the World Series, we let the kids stay home from school and we all went downtown for the tickertape parade. It was a BLAST! The kids had never seen such a thing and still talk about it.
It was nice that your team won, Merry.

I guess from all of my years of going to Mardi Gras parades and getting pushed and shoved, I didn't want to be in all of that craziness. The people who went said it was great and it was a lot of fun to watch on TV.

Film Review: Flawless 'Beauty and the Beast' is a New ClassicSubmitted by PatrickMcD on March 16, 2017 - 3:41pm
CHICAGO – Do not doubt the power of live action to create a new atmosphere of joy and…dare I say it…beauty. The re-imagining of the animated classic "Beauty and the Beast" is everything that the previous was and much more. It packs a true and emotional wallop that follows through to the end.
Film Review: 'Bridget Jones's Baby' Offers Labored Attempt at HumorSubmitted by PatrickMcD on September 16, 2016 - 11:10am
CHICAGO – "Bridget Jones's Baby" is the kind of geriatric sequel that makes you retroactively question whether the original film that inspired it was all that good to begin with – it's less a film than a labored collection of contrived situations involving pregnancy and pratfalls. It's not painfully unwatchable, but it's unlikely to inspire anything remotely resembling amusement in its audiences.
Blu-ray Review: Stale Screen Culture Drama 'Men, Women & Children'Submitted by NickHC on January 22, 2015 - 3:54pm
CHICAGO – In "Men, Women & Children," director Jason Reitman not-so-audaciously reflects onto viewers their world of silent screens and awkward impersonal interactions. As many stories ("Don Jon," "Disconnect") have taken on the torch of showing how we are, gasp! — connected to the world yet disconnected from those close to us — Reitman's tale is just another one for the batch.

Blu-ray Review: Strong Ensemble Propels Surprisingly Entertaining 'Beautiful Creatures'Submitted by BrianTT on May 24, 2013 - 2:42pm
CHICAGO – It may not be a beautiful film but the latest attempt at cashing in on the "Twilight" craze, Richard LaGravenese's "Beautiful Creatures," recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, is surprisingly good-looking. The young leads show a lot more life than typical YA fare, the supporting cast is truly stellar, and the script from the author of "The Fisher King" and this weekend's "Behind the Candleabra" has some interesting ideas about religion, fate, and maturity. It's too long by some stretch and too many of the same ideas are hit repeatedly but when the supporting cast, including three Oscar winners, is allowed to do what they do best, it's damn pretty to watch.

NEW YORK—More than three dozen Russian diplomats and their spouses enjoyed luxury vacations and spent tens of thousands of dollars at the finest stores as they lied about their incomes to get the government to pay their health care bills, federal prosecutors in New York said Thursday.
The diplomats were among 49 individuals charged in a complaint unsealed in federal court in Manhattan, though no arrests were made and only 11 of the diplomats and their spouses remained in the United States. The complaint said Medicaid, a health-care program for the poor, lost about $1.5 million in the scheme since 2004.
A message left with Russian officials at the United Nations was not immediately returned.
The complaint alleges that the defendants systematically submitted fraudulent applications for medical benefits for pregnancies, births and care for young children. Federal prosecutors said the diplomats under-reported their income on the applications so that they would qualify for Medicaid benefits.
In court papers, FBI agent Jeremy Robertson described an 18-month investigation, saying investigators had discovered a pattern of falsified applications.
He said 58 of the 63 births attributed to Russian diplomats and their spouses in New York City between 2004 and 2013 were funded through Medicaid benefits.
Robertson wrote that the diplomats and their spouses generally under-reported household income to an amount below the applicable Medicaid eligibility level, and some of them lied about the citizenship status of their children to obtain continuing health coverage for them.
Meanwhile, the diplomats and their spouses spent tens of thousands of dollars on vacations, fancy watches, expensive jewelry and designer clothing at luxury retail stores including Bloomingdale's, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, Swarovski and others, the court papers said.
The complaint said they also spent tens of thousands of dollars on electronic merchandise at Apple Inc. stores and elsewhere. It said they also bought concert tickets and robotic cleaning devices.
Court papers noted that prior to June 2011, Russian diplomats, including some of the defendants, received their salaries in cash. The complaint said diplomats under-reported their incomes to qualify for Medicaid but gave more accurate descriptions of salaries to qualify for credit cards.
Charges in the criminal complaint included conspiracy to commit health-care fraud, conspiracy to steal government funds and make false statements relating to health-care matters.

Let's say Scott is in the 25 percent federal tax bracket and has $5,000 in appreciated stock he wants to donate. If he sells the stock and donates the proceeds from the sale, he will only end up donating $4,250. The other $750 is used to pay long-term capital-gains taxes at the 15 percent rate. Plus, even though Scott sold $5,000 worth of stock, he can only deduct $4,250.
Instead, if Scott donates the shares directly to the charity, there are no capital-gains taxes, and he can deduct the full $5,000. Even better, the charity will not have to pay any capital-gains taxes when it sells the donated stock.Visit our site for more information about the Tax Benefits of Giving.

As a "second shift" parent – an older adult who is now parenting a second family – I am rediscovering the joys of parenthood, as well as the occasional frustrations.
Young children take a lot of time, patience, attention and energy. When you are dealing with two children under the age of three, these resources can seem to be in short supply. This supply and demand problem is further complicated because the kids are seldom on the same page. Most of the time their needs are in direct opposition.

I noticed recently that the facets on the crown surrounding the table on a diamond-cut Imperial Pink Zircon, which I purchased a year ago online, appear to have dull patches in the center. The facet edges are not discolored or abraded, rather the phenomena seems relegated to the center of the tiny peripheral facets. I do not see pitting or gouges, just what at first looked like an oily film that cleaning did not remove. Odder still, on some of the dull patches, I see a slight bluish cast, or a faint discoloration.
What seems to be the more likely explanation: A) The Zircon, which was sold to me as unheated from Tanzania, was in fact treated --- perhaps a bulk diffused Topaz or Quartz? --- and it is a surface color treatment that I see wearing off; B) the stone, which was set last year into a six-prong ring mount, has sustained abrasion or chemical damage (wear and tear); or C) the jeweler's torch, in setting it into the prongs, caused a slight heating effect causing the Imperial Pink stone to take on the faint blue hue I detect in some of those patches? (Notably, the dull patches don't run beneath the prongs and there is no dulling of the table --- the rubbed-out marks in the surface polish appear only on those facets that reside between the Tiffany-style prongs.)
In closing, what I have described may or may not have been present for quite some time; however, only recently did I take note.
Explanations would be much appreciated.
Sounds fishy to me. First off pink zircon is never natural - it is virtually always heat treated, so if the dealer said it was natural you can assume there are other things wrong about it. Also zircon is pretty hard and will not wear out under normal use. Zircon also has a solid color and should not fade.
Very belatedly, I want to thank you for the reply. I remain interested in additional input for this question as well.
I do know that Zircon is typically too brittle for use in rings and some use little more than this fact to make an identification (they look for abraded facets). This stone, however, is not an antique. It doesn't have facet abrading and has yet to sustain scratches.
Incidentally, hershel, what is your source for pink zircon never being natural? The stated source for this gemstone is Tanzania. Additionally, there are numerous references to "Blush Zircon" (JTV.com), bronze zircon, brown zircon and "Imperial Zircon" --- all names that are apparently interchangeable for red/pink/orange-brown stones. (I should probably also clarify I am not referring to CZ, but the (original) December birthstone.)
I have shown the gem to three different individuals at local jewelry stores and there doesn't seem to be an explanation for the bluish cast to the peripheral-facet rub marks described in my initial question. Moreover, I have been told by two of those three individuals that my stone is a tourmaline. By color, alone, it is a dead ringer for an apricot-pink/brown tourmaline but it doesn't make sense that a seller would have provided what I understand to be a more costly stone in lieu of the "zircon" that was described. Consequently, I am wondering if there are distinguishing factors that would separate this gemstone from tourmaline aside from the color similarity? As far as I know, both tourmaline and zircon are double-refractive — so what other method might be useful to making a definitive identification without first dismounting the stone from the setting?
Thank you.
Zircon is brittle, and it can crack if banged too hard, but its hardness will prevent it from getting scratched generally.
For sources of zircon being heat-treated, look at any book or gemstone guide which discusses zircon, such as Schumann, and they discuss that zircons are heat treated. To my knowledge there are no natural commercial deposits of blue zircon - this color is entirely heat-produced, whereas other colors such as yellow, brown, and reddish-brown may be natural or heated.
Now I am not aware either of tourmaline fading, and I did recently hear of some blue heated zircon stones fading in UV or sunlight. But don't know this firsthand.
As far as double-refraction, both tourmaline and zircon will exhibit DR. But tourmaline is very minor and generally not discernible, whereas zircon is very apparent. I personally have seen zircon gemstones exhibiting double refraction on a large stone where it appears almost blurry to the naked eye.

About NES Optometry
NES Optometry exists to up-skill Community Optometrists in Scotland
NES Optometry exists to up-skill Scottish Community Optometrists, who provide NHS care under the General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract, to enable them to provide high quality eyecare and to improve the ocular health of patients throughout Scotland. One of the key recommendations arising from the Review of Community Eyecare Services in Scotland (Scottish Executive, 2006) was the requirement to set and maintain national standards that could be adapted and implemented locally.
In 2006, Optometrists agreed a new contract with the Scottish Government Health Department (SGHD) which encourages the profession to take a more active part in primary eyecare of non-sight threatening eye disease. This is quite a different contract from the limited one in force in the rest of the UK. To support the change in working practice, SGHD has made new funding of £1million (recurring) available, managed by NES Optometry, to support the professional development of GOS contracted Optometrists. NES Optometry has been actively developing a structured programme of optometric training for all Community Optometrists in Scotland who provide NHS care and is currently developing its strategy around three main areas:
- Development of clinical skills and clinical networks
- CPD Provision
- Roll out to other groups

I shudder to think how many folks are rotting in jail on trumped up drug charges based on evidence planted by the police. The victims of the police can't cry their way out of jail.
He cried — and the judge cut him loose. A disgraced NYPD detective convicted of planting drugs on an innocent couple was looking at jail time when he walked into court on Thursday. He walked out with probation after blubbering that he was ashamed of himself and pleading for mercy.

Restaurant Plans
I'm sure that more information will be forth coming, but The Shelby County Reporter recently ran a story about plans at the empty Incahoots. The owners of Papa Saia's, a restaurant and sports bar currently in Alabaster's Colonial Promenade shopping center, are planning to move their business to the former Incahoots building. Incahoots has been vacant for nearly two years. You can see the full story here.
Parking on the Street
Just a reminder that parking on the street is a violation of Helena's Municipal Ordinances and is a typical ordinance violation in most municipalities. A call to the Helena Police Department at 663-6499 will get the offender a citation and a date with Municipal Court. Please note do not call 911 for this type of problem.

The New Orleans police department has long had the reputation of being one of the most corrupt in the United States. If it is not actually the most corrupt department in the country, in the minds of most observers it is certainly always in the running for that title. And in the wake of what happened on the Danziger Bridge six days after Hurricane Katrina struck the city in 2005, the NOPD proved that in their case public perception was fact because, sadly enough, the NOPD turned out to be a clear extension of the overall political corruption and ineptness that describes the history of New Orleans city government.
Hurricane Katrina struck a city without a clue. Both the city's mayor and its police chief failed the city terribly by not having a solid plan in place for the aftermath of the hurricane. In fact, as Ronnie Greene points out in Shots on the Bridge, those providing emergency services to the citizens of New Orleans after the storm were left largely on their own. And this seems particularly true of a police department that failed to set up even a central meeting place/control point from which to coordinate its efforts to control crime during what turned out to be perhaps the most chaotic period in the city's history.
The Danziger Bridge, only seven-tenths of a mile long, allows access between two New Orleans neighborhoods separated by the city's Industrial Canal. And going from one neighborhood to another is all that each of the victims of the police slaughter were doing on the morning they were unfortunate enough to cross paths with a bunch of adrenalin-fueled cops who completely misread the situation on the bridge. The policemen believed that they were responding to a scene where an unknown number of snipers had shot at least one of their own. They were anxious to get to the bridge before more policemen could be killed or injured – and when they got there they exited their vehicles with guns blazing.
|Ronnie Greene
Then the cover-up began, and the NOPD lived up to its embarrassing reputation as being one of the most corrupt police departments anywhere. Read Ronnie Greene's Shots on the Bridge for the rest of this tragic story – especially the way it was so consistently mishandled in the court system. We can only hope that someone in the city of New Orleans learned something from the mistakes made in this case – and is now in a position to help ensure that nothing like this ever again happens there.

We were getting together for dinner last Friday night. Friends and neighbors, all from our building. There was to be fancy schmancy mac and cheese made with top top shelf cheeses and pancetta. There would be salads and fabulous wine and I was in charge of bringing dessert.
Since it was a work day with plans for lunch and shopping with a friend I figured a cake from Le Fournil was in order. But I also wanted to pick up a little bubbly, an apéritif perhaps, to start off with a little pizazz.
Taking advantage of the fact that I was working in Ballard in the morning, I made a pit stop for paper goods at Fred Meyer. It was there, while looking for my paper towels that I remembered how much I've always enjoyed shopping the wine department at Fred Meyer and that perhaps I could find some good bubbly in a pinch.
For a supermarket they always have a few little gems worth taking home and the wine buyers for the chain make an extra effort to feature quality Pacific Northwest wines and a few obscure producers and varietals on their shelves. I like that.
It was while perusing the sparkling wine/apéritif offerings that I found a bottle with a label that caught my eye and caused me to giggle then and there, the way one tends to do when buying funny greeting cards at the stationary shop.
The label had a frog, a lady frog, dressed in the manner of a can-can dancer, windmill in the background, leg about to kick her chorine petticoat, lips crimson red. To top it off, the label read Vin Vivant (lively wine).
Vin Vivant, what a gas! Not only that but the price was great ($15) and the bottle also happened to have an unusual twist: one of those Grolsch beer porcelain re-sealers.
The name of the wine was Risqué (an omen, perhaps?) and it was billed as a Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale (Sparkling Wine) produced and bottled by Les Vignerons du Sieur d'Arques in Limoux, France--for Toad Hollow's, the Healdsburg, California label--with a 6% alcohol.
Fabulous! Just what I was looking for to start our meal. Odd, yet cute with a name a label to provide some laughs, something our group always welcomes. I guess you know by now what happened next.
I, of course, placed the bottle in my cart and made my way to the self-checkout area. With a label so cute and a description so me me me, I just HAD to buy it. The price was great (less than $20) but the bigger question was, would the wine be any good?
But since I had never seen or tried this wine before, finding out if it was any good would have to wait until it was properly chilled and later opened at the table. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
When the cork popped and we started pouring the wine into our ten or so little bistro glasses I could not wait to take the first sip and see if the gamble had paid off.
It did! This little wine was just the thing. Fizzy, slightly sweet, like a French version of the Italian Prosecco. Light and fruity and lively, just like the spunky bonne vivante Mlle. Toad on the label.
This refreshing juice was not only perfect as a quick apéritif but worked very well when tasted against the Mac & Cheese and later on with the gorgeous Gateau Cassis we had for dessert. I can see it also working very well for light brunch fare or to be mixed in to make Mimosas.
This is a very fun, quaffable wine that refuses to take itself seriously and that should be enjoyed by those with a taste for bubbles, off dry wines, whimsical labels, gimmicky bottles and comedian-type winemakers.
Wine snobs are also welcomed.
From Toad Hollow's website:
"Risqué (Methode Ancestrale Sparkling Wine)
Vibrant! Frivolous! And ... Oo-Lah-Lah ...
When Can-Can was introduced in Paris in the 1830's, it was quickly dubbed, "Le Ballet Risqué" for its rousing energy marked by high kicks and daring naughtiness. Soon it became a symbol for the Parisians' famous devil-may-care attitude.
"Risqué" recaptures that spirit. This "vin vivant" (lively wine) is a crisp and fruity sparkling wine with low alcohol (6%) and the taste of fresh green apples and pears. Softly effervescent with just enough sweetness to seduce your palate as an aperitif or tempt you when you want something perfectly naughty to finish ... or, perhaps ... to start again!
Methode Ancestrale- Oxford Companion to Wine - This method is rarely used and results in a lightly sparkling, medium sweet wine. It involves bottling young wines before all the residual sugar has been fermented into alcohol. Fermentation continues in the bottle and gives off carbon dioxide. The wine is designed to be sweeter and less fizzy than a champagne method sparkling wine and no dosage is allowed."

Musician finally breaks silence about marriage to rap superstar
After keeping mum about her relationship and now marriage to rap mogul Jay-Z, Beyonce finally breaks her silence in this month's upcoming Essence magazine. As E News Now reports, she reveals details about their long-term relationship, stating that ""…What Jay and I have is real. It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real." She evidently comes clean about engagement rings (she thinks they're silly), the wedding (she kept it small and intimate) and how she knew marriage was in the cards all along.
I personally love the fact that she kept the event intimate and respect the fact that this couple wants to protect their relationship from prying eyes. It's a great lesson to us all: sometimes you just need to keep some things for yourself.

Regional Reviews: New Jersey
Innocuous Catch Me If You Can
Also see Bob's review of Nocturne
However, this reviewer thoroughly enjoyed Catch Me If You Can way back when ("I was younger then"), and, despite its thin, rickety construction and believability deficiency, I enjoyed seeing it again at the Bickford.
Daniel Corban nervously paces about his honeymoon cabin awaiting word of his wife Elizabeth who has been missing for three days. Corban finds Inspector Levine to be maddeningly inept and distracted, as well as disinterested in helping him find his wife. He refers to the Inspector as "Rip Van Levine of the Catskills." By the way, your reaction to that line will probably be a better guide for determining your tolerance for this stuff than any recommendation that I could make.
Still, in short order, a priest new to the area arrives, asks Corban if he would take his wife back "with no questions, no reproaches," and opens the door to a woman identifying herself as Elizabeth. Corban insists that she is not who she says she is. When he goes to his room to get photographs of his wife, Corban finds that they have all gone missing. Although no one on stage believes Corban, it is obvious to the audience that whoever this woman is, she is not Elizabeth. Unfortunately, it is so obvious who the pretend Elizabeth is and what has happened to the real one, that most audiences will solve the mystery then and there when the play is not even twenty minutes old.
When intermission rolled around, it seemed that the only saving grace for the balance of the evening would be if the conclusion that appeared so patently obvious proved to be wrong, and the authors had a really clever, unexpected twist in store for us. Well, the authors throw in so many twists and turns, ridiculous and incredible though they be, that I began to think that what appeared obvious might not prove to be so after all. Thus, in its incongruous way, the story does generate fun for a willing audience.
Adapting a French boulevard play by Robert Thomas, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert moved the setting to the resort area of New York's Catskill Mountains. Using this background as an excuse, they named their detective Levine and threw in a lot of Jewish inflected humor to appeal to an audience whose idea of an ideal summer vacation was two weeks at Grossinger's or the Concord (my, how things have changed). Actually, Levine is very much a Jewish Colombo, and one can only wonder if Levinson and Link were influenced by this play when developing the Peter Falk character shortly after Catch Me If You Can was produced in New York.
As far as I can ascertain, this is the only play that Weinstock and Gilbert ever had produced. However, a few years earlier, they had written a treatment for a play based on a non-fiction advice book. When Feuer and Martin decided that their work would make a solid basis for a musical, they ended up teamed with Abe Burrows as co-authors of a little Frank Loesser show known as How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Interestingly, Willie Gilbert was a comedian. When he discovered that his medical doctor Jack Weinstein had a bent for writing comedy, they teamed up writing material for comedy and cabaret performers and stage revues. Their only other musical book was the unfortunate Judy Holiday tuner Hot Spot.
Greg Bazaz is an entertaining Inspector Levine. An adjustment in his vocal inflections, and he could as easily be Colombo. Most importantly, Bazaz gets his laughs. Bill Edwards manages to sustain credibility as the anxiety ridden Corban. Given the authors' flights of fancy, this is no mean feat. Janice Kildea's Elizabeth appropriately keeps us off balance in a role which is entirely made up of artificialities. Similarly, Duncan M. Rogers conveys a creepy artificiality as Elizabeth's co-conspirator, the alleged Father Kelleher. The cast is rounded out by the very funny Jim Folly as Sammy, the proprietor of a local sandwich shop, and the late appearance of Tamara Dombroski and Rich Maloy
Barbara Krajkowski maintains a fast pace throughout, which helps maintain our interest in the proceedings. Bill Motyka has designed a full realistic cabin set which includes a stone fireplace. It provides an anchor in reality for a play which really needs one.
If the prospect of a light mystery-comedy appeals to you, go and enjoy.
Catch Me If You Can continues performances (Thurs., Fri. & Sat. 8 p.m./ Sun. 2 p.m.) through December 10, 2006 at the Bickford Theatre in residence at the Morris Museum, 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ 07960; Box Office: 973-971-3706; online www.bickfordtheatre.org/

Publishing documents to the web is more popular than ever and the online hosting options available for doing so now cater for almost every imaginable need.
Whether you're a writer, student, academic, community member, self-employed, or part of a special interest group or organisation, sharing your documented content with others while preserving its style and presentation is a sure-fire way to generate interest online.
In most cases you can upload and share your documents for free in one or two simple steps, and if you're willing to pay a little extra you can make the most of existing online audiences offered by popular specialist hosting services.
Here are eight ways to get your documents online.
1. Google Drive
Google Drive is the most popular way to host and share documents quickly and easily. If you have a Google account you already have Google Drive, which is fully integrated into Gmail. Sharing a document you've been working on in Drive is as simple as selecting File > Publish to the web. From here you can create a link to share with individual recipients or over social media channels for those who follow you. Google Drive also spits out code for embedding the document cleanly on your website.
If it's a PDF or other non-editable document you want to share, simply right-click the file in Drive's browser to generate a link (note that PDFs can't be embedded like editable documents can) or create a shared folder in the same way to make multiple documents available to others.
2. Microsoft Office Online
Not got a Google account? If you use Microsoft email, that's not a problem, because with free access to Office Online and Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service you can publish your documents just as easily.
Simply choose to Share your document by right-clicking it in OneDrive or selecting the Share option when editing a document. From there you can create a link to share with individuals in your contacts, via email, or over social media. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't offer code for embedding your document in a website, however.
3. edocr
Those looking for a more sophisticated document publishing host should consider edocr.com - it's set up to serve professionals and businesses in publishing marketing material, sales data, operation manunals, customer service and financial reports.
The free personal account allows a total of five documents to be uploaded, but the advantages of paying the £5.75/month single user service subscription include batch uploading of up to 25 documents at a time, access to collaboration and sharing tools, Google, Bing and Yahoo search engine indexing, and document version control.
What's more, edocr automatically converts uploaded documents to HTML5 for an improved reading experience on mobile devices.
4. DocStoc
Docstoc is another online publishing platform aimed at professionals and small businesses, hosting over 20 million documents. It's one of the most visited websites on the internet and offers a vast collection of free resources, including a very capable embedding frame that allows readers to download, share and embed documents in their website with a click.
A £1.92 monthly membership gets you access to a sophisticated publications dashboard, search engine indexing and a wide selection of premium content, including expert video tutorials and online courses geared towards a range of industries. It also lets you take advantage of its DocCash scheme, which enables you to profit from Google AdSense every time someone views one of your documents.
5. Issuu
Issuu offers a different option by functioning as a free digital newsstand for magazines, catalogues, newspapers and more. The service boasts over 80 million active readers, and attempts to reproduce the aesthetic value of print publications by providing an elegant reading experience.
That equates to HTML5 document conversion, dedicated mobile apps to view content, and a beautifully designed reader frame for embedding your content on websites and blogs.
A paid-for subscription allows you to customise the reader for each platform or audience with a unique background, size and format. It also lets you remove ads or related content from your publication, and gain access to analytic tools as well as sharing and comment controls.
6. Academia.edu
Academia.edu combines social networking with online publishing and is overwhelmingly geared towards students and academics who want to follow the latest research in their field, make their own research available to others and receive feedback in return.
The site has over 11 million users, supports open-access, scores well in search engine indexing, and lets you create a profile page and follow analytics to gauge the popularity of your content. It also allows readers to download papers and share links to them, although there is no facility to generate embedding code for websites/blogs at present.
7. Docdroid
DocDroid is an extremely simple way to get your documents online and supports a wide range of formats, including PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, OTT, XLS, XLSX, TXT, PPT, PPTX, ODP and more.
Just choose the Upload document on the landing page, select your document, and Docdroid uploads and converts it instantly, automatically spitting out a preview page, hyperlinks, social media share options and embedding code.
Multiple documents can be uploaded at once, while readers can choose which format in which to download your documents. It's all completely free and doesn't demand that you sign up or login, although bear in mind that documents are deleted if they are not read after 60 days.
8. PDFy
PDFy is possibly the easiest way to get your portable document format files published online. The service offers drag-and-drop PDF upload support, is ad-free, and hosts your documents permanently.
It also provides a shareable page and an embeddable version of its open source PDF viewer, while PDFs can be downloaded by readers and all public PDFs get mirrored to the Internet Archive for preservation.

Bell Let's Talk – Ending the stigma
Is there ever a day that's good for mental illness? Well, information pills its today, illness for my mental illness, malady your mental illness, or the mental illness of a loved one.
This is my post from Bell Lets Talk Day 2013. I thought & thought about writing a new blog post, but I don't think I could say it any better than I did that year. I updated the information in the post.
Today Bell Canada is starting the conversation. For every: Text message sent on the Bell network Long Distance call made on the Bell network, Tweet using #BellLetsTalk, Facebook share of the Bell Let's Talk image & Snapchat; Bell will donate 5¢ more to help fund mental health initiatives across Canada. They're giving grants to community associations, funding research, but most importantly; making it ok for people to talk about it. I absolutely love their spokesperson, Clara Hughes. A Summer & Winter Olympian with boat-loads of medals, everyone thought she had a perfect life! She's a young, vibrant, woman who shares her experience without hesitation.
Some of you know my story, if you've read previous blog posts. I suffered from terrible postpartum depression. It was bad, I didn't know what was happening to me. There were so many other circumstances swirling around at the same time, I just thought this was how it was going to be in my new reality. I told no one, it was hard for me to say it out loud. I couldn't even say it to Jeff, of course he knew something was wrong, but didn't know what to do. It took me (& mostly my husband) until after our second child to get me help. Jeff found someone we both trusted, our health nurse, and told her what was going on. She helped us get help & I'm happy to say that things have been much better ever since.
I've changed medications since that time 15 years ago, but my life has never been better. This morning I was sitting on the side of the very bed that I wouldn't leave for days on end. I remember my baby (who is now 17!) & I spending the day there, me barely getting by personally because it took all I had to feed her, change her & stay awake while she was awake. Jeff getting home from a long day at University & finding us in the same spot where he'd left us 14 hours before. It was a dark time. Luckily for me, I found medication that worked & even better an activity that pulled me out of it. I've written before about how silversmithing pulled me into the light where I found something that was for me, and was creative, and wasn't about my kids.
The only thing that ever really enters my mind about mental illness lately is my kids. I worry that I've genetically gifted them something I hope they never have to deal with. I watch them closely & speak to their pediatrician about what to do if we feel they're out of 'balance'.
So if you're a Bell customer, text, call, do whatever you can to help. The rest of you –
For every text, call, tweet and Instagram post, Facebook video view and use of Snapchat geofilter, Bell will contribute 5 ¢ more to mental health initiatives. So let's work together to create a stigma-free Canada; because I guarantee you there is someone in your life that you might not even know it, but they're suffering.
Have a quick read over some of the facts:
- Every day, 500,000 Canadians miss work due to a form of mental illness.
- Mood and anxiety disorders impact an estimated 22% of the Canadian population. –CMHA
- Less than 4% of medical research funding goes to mental illness research. –Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health
- Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, allowing them to get back to their regular activities. – CMHA
- 2 in 3 people suffer in silence fearing judgment and rejection. – Canadian Medical Association
Do what you can, even if that is only watching a news story on TV, really listening to a radio commercial; you just might learn something or at the very least become a little more understanding.
