This implies that we need some way to serialize requests for that resource (probably on a first in first out basis). A common design pattern for achieving this is the Singleton, first documented in the Gang of Four's patterns book (where they use a print spooler as an example).
Now BPEL doesn't explicitly support the notion of a Singleton, however it does allow you to simulate one, which for the purpose of what we are trying to achieve is good enough.
The basic idea is to have an explicit initiateSingleton operation which is used to instantiate a single process instance, and then have a separate invokeSingleton operation which is used to submit each actual request. The invoke operation is then placed in a loop, so as soon as it's processed one request it loops back round for the next one.
For this example, I've just created a simple process which keeps track of the number of times it's been called. It takes a single parameter, name and returns a string of the following format:
Hello <name>. You are caller number <count> of this singleton.
Pretty simple, but it illustrates the point. The basic process is shown in the screenshot below:
InvokeSingleton – This receives the next request to be processed by the singleton. Wait – This waits for a period of 5 seconds. It is just to simulate going out to an external system. It also enables us to see how multiple requests for the singleton are queued up by the Oracle BPEL PM Server. SetResult – Here we just set the result and increment the count by one. CallbackClient – Finally we just send back the result to the client; before looping back round to process the next request.
Message Correlation
At first glance this all looks deceptively simple, however the complexity comes when you try and call the invokeSingleton operation.The reason is that when we invoke an operation on a BPEL Process, the message is received by the Oracle BPEL PM Message Handler, depending on the operation it will either invoke a new process to handle it (as with the initiateSingleton operation) or route it through to the appropriate instance of an already running process.
This is where it gets a bit convoluted, when we receive the message for the invokeSingleton operation, even though we only have a single instance of the BPEL process running how does BPEL PM know that it is the correct instance to route the message to? The answer is it doesn't.
Now under "normal" circumstances, where we have an asynchronous interaction between two processes, Oracle BPEL PM defaults to using WS-Addressing to ensure that messages are successfully routed between two process instances. However in these cases, it's typical that the interaction between the two processes (say A and B) began by process A initiating process B and passing it details (using WS-Addressing) about itself so that when process B sends back a response it contains sufficient information for it to be routed to the appropriate instance of process A.
However with our Singleton process, any process calling the invokeSingleton operation will have no prior knowledge of that process, so for our purposes we can't use WS-Addressing to correlate the message.
Fortunately for situations where WS-Addressing isn't appropriate or available BPEL provides the concept of correlation sets. Essentially correlation sets allow you to use a unique value present in the message body of all exchanged messages (e.g. orderId) to link that exchange of related messages together.
You do this in BPEL by first defining a property which corresponds to the unique value, and then defining a property alias for each message in the exchange, that defines where that property is located within the message. Next you define a correlation set which can consist of one or more properties (see the product documentation or the Oracle SOA Suite Developer's Guide for more details on how to create Correlation Sets).
For our purpose, I've defined a simple element called singletonId which is contained in both the initiateSingleton and invokeSingleton operations.
Next we have defined a correlation set SingletonCS which is used in the InitiateSingleton and InvokeSingelton operations.
On the initiateSingleton operation I've defined this to initiate the correlation set (see screenshot below), this means whatever value is contained with the singletonId in the start operation must be present in the invokeSingleton operation for it to be routed through to this process instance.
Now you've probably already guessed that we need to use correlation sets again (as we have disabled WS-Addressing for this Partner Link). This time the calling process will need to generate a unique key that it passes in the request (requestId) to the singleton. The singleton will then return this in the response to the requester.
If we look at the SingeltonAccessor process, we use the XPath operator generateGUID to generate this value.
Specifying the Reply to Address
So now everything looks fine, so we can go ahead and run the process; well not quite! If you do you will notice that request from the SingeltonAccessor successfully reaches our Singleton process. But for some reason the response from the Singleton never reaches the SingeltonAccessor, in fact if you take a closer examination of the Singleton Audit trail for the callback activity you will see that it actually skipped the callback!Now it turns out that this is quite a rational behaviour for the simple reason that the Singleton doesn't actually know where to send its callback to. This is because at design time the caller of an asynchronous process typically isn't known, and thus the callback address needs to be specified at runt time. In fact if you log into the BPEL Console and examine the WSDL for the call back operation, you will see that the soap:address location for the endpoint is defined as:
Now by default Oracle BPEL PM uses WS-Addressing to handle this, thus when I invoke an asynchronous process, part of the SOAP payload contains a return address for the asynchronous process, however we've just disabled WS-Addressing for this message exchange as we are using correlation sets.
So how do we provide the reply to address? Well one way would be to pass this in as part of the request message and then use dynamic partner links to set the replyToAddress.
However a simpler way is to define the replyToAddress property on the partnerlink to point to the reply address. This takes the format:
<wsdl endpoint>/partnerLinkTypeName/[rollName]
So in our case:
Now if we deploy this it should finally work. To run the example, first go into the BPEL Console and initiate the Singleton process (set Singleton Id to "Singleton/1.0").
From the console initiate the SingletonAccessor entering whatever value you like for the name. You could kick off a number of these to see what happens.
Loose Ends
So that all works, however there are two basic problems with this approach:Firstly to invoke the Singleton you need to know the value of the SingletonId. This in our case is fixed within the SingltonAccessor process. Secondly, the Singleton process will only ever return a result to the SingletonAccessor process (as this is fixed by specifying the replyToAddress). What if we want to call it from another process or web service client?
Thus the client never needs to know the SingletonId, and secondly as WS-Addressing remains turned on between the "real" client and the SingletonAccesor the client doesn't need to worry about correlation sets or specifying a replyToAddress.
One final question you may have is how do I prevent multiple instances of the Singleton process being kicked-off by mistake? Well why not try it? You will see that as long as you specify the same value for the SingletonId, BPEL PM will throw a "Conflicting Receive" fault as an equivalent receive activity has already been enabled by the original Singleton.
As we can see, implementing a Singleton within BPEL is relatively straight forward. Whilst this is not a totally clean solution, it does achieve the desired effect.

Profile of Adolf Hitler. Dr. Ernst Sedgwick Hanfstaengl, known on both shores of the Atlantic as "Putzi," is now Chief of the Foreign Press. Tells about his family. Hanfstaengl was an early Hitler devotee, and in 1923 lent the Party $1,000, a vast sum when the mark had fallen to thousands for a dime, which made possible Nazi control of the powerful Volkischer Beobachter, still the offcial Hitlerian newspaper. As a participator in the Munich Beer Putch in 1923, Hanfstaengl, with prison hanging over him was for two years a voluntary exile in Austria. Tells about his propaganda film on Horst Wessel, for which he also wrote the theme music...

So this may look like an ordinary piece of styrofoam -- -- it has the same consistency but it is actually made from mushrooms.
Best result these things that packing material and other items we'll talk about our 100% biodegradable petroleum free and combustible.
Now the company behind them and now has plans to launch their -- material.
In several markets including building materials autos and furniture with us now is Gavin MacIntyre.
-- creative design.
Co-founder good to see you thanks for coming in Gavin appreciate -- so if this.
First of all some people told -- that that that this was actually grown -- specifically.
To be used for this product is that true resist this stuff is.
Is is specifically -- mushrooms for this this styrofoam like pregnant you're.
That's exactly correct week -- and grow all of our products to the -- that we ship them out and which is one of the benefits of our technology.
There's no complex molding technology it literally gross of that form -- -- arrives in the products just as you have in your -- today acknowledged feels it feels is light is styrofoam.
Doesn't have a smell affinity -- it is doesn't only watchers -- -- -- -- it it it feels as though what's the strongest styrofoam.
Is that as cheap to make as styrofoam.
-- all of our materials today are inherently cost competitive and that's because the products literally self assemble they grow.
All of our raw materials rather than using fossil fuels like you mentioned earlier.
Are entirely farm waste which -- sourced from just fifty miles from our manufacturing facilities.
Well so that makes our products inherently cost competitive inherently cost competitive does that mean that it is as cheap to make -- styrofoam.
It certainly is all the products we sell today are at cost parity or even cheaper than it -- plastic -- So why don't people just make the switch it sounds like it's it's a no brainer.
Well today we are still small start -- company.
We are manufacturing products for fortune 500 companies though such as crate and barrel.
But we recently partnered with the Sealed Air Corp.
the company that makes products such as bubble wrap.
And you've been -- -- phones and so together we are taking this technology and we're.
Distributing it across the country opening up new manufacturing facilities where we can take advantage of -- farm -- Now what is your biggest target your biggest competitive target is at the styrofoam copper what.
So today all of our materials are very competitive in terms of their strength and performance -- wells cost.
With with plastic -- so today we're starting to introduce this product into the protective packaging market and our looking to expand further.
Introducing the technology into the construction industry where conservatives rigid -- insulation for example.
A right now Gavin you've I'm sure you've seen the news Mayor Bloomberg the latest thing he wants to do in order to that's it make our lives safer according to him is to -- styrofoam cups.
A lot of us are against these these banning is that he's been doing including against are from but could juror start your mushroom.
Plastic if you will could -- -- styrofoam even without a band even without a government ban on styrofoam.
Very much so you know our technology has a really nice screen story associated with us with that but our customers don't buy our product just because -- green.
They buy it today because its cost competitive with all they plastic phones that are currently on the market.
And that's just because all of our raw materials are local farm waste and our product literally grows insult assembles itself -- congratulations.
By the way for the record -- under thirty right.
That's correct I just had my twentieth birthday congratulations.
On Matt -- terrific product great idea wonderful entrepreneur Gavin MacIntyre of Eagles made -- thanks Gavin -- cats.

Letters to the Editor
Read what our readers have to say about Maine.
Where in Maine?
I was delighted to see the photograph of Kennebunk's Wedding Cake House in your November "Where in Maine?" My husband and I spent ten years living at 100 Summer Street, Kennebunk — in an old Federal house — just two doors down from this historic house. We had the pleasure of informing many tourists to "just keep driving, you'll see it," as many people stopped in our driveway asking for directions on how to locate this lovely confection of architecture!
We also had the pleasure of knowing Thomas Murphy, who wrote the book The Wedding Cake House, which dispelled the myth that all of the lovely wooden carvings were created by a love-sick sailor for his bride! (But, I have to admit that when the tourists asked whether or not that was true, all of the neighbors, including my husband and I, would say, "oh, yes!" as it certainly made for a good story!)
Thanks for publishing such a great photograph — it brought back many lovely memories of our time living on Summer Street.
—Lyn Smith
Portland, Maine
While many people are familiar with the Wedding Cake House, I was privileged nearly twenty-five years ago or so to have stepped foot inside. My Aunt Kathy, an art teacher in Massachusetts, went to art school with one of the former owners, Anne Burnette. Anne and her mother lived there, back when I was a child (I'm now in my late thirties) attending the former Park Street School in Kennebunk. It's hard to remember some of the things from so long ago, but I recall that there were a few pieces of furniture in the home's possession that were apparently once owned by the original builder, George Washington Bourne.
The last memory of the house I have was one night when my siblings and I were over in the room that would be the lower left two windows on the first floor (as seen from the street). We were watching Something Wicked This Way Comes on a VCR. It was a creepy movie back then, and during a particularly scary part, an alarm clock's shrill ring went off upstairs — loud enough that it startled us in the middle of the movie. Anne apologized, and said, "Oh, that's just George."
George was the ghost that held Anne and her mom accountable for the house and apparently gave them trouble when they first moved in: Anne's car tended to just shut down after she would leave the house and travel a mile or so. This went on for several days, and a couple of trips to a mechanic found nothing wrong with it. Anne seemed to figure out that, by telling George, "I'll be right back," the car would allegedly start back up.
I guess George — and everyone who's ever seen the house — would want to rest assured that the caretakers of the property would never abandon it.

When I was a kid and lived in Hollis, Maine, my dad would drive in to Kennebunk to get the New York Times on Sundays and then down to the beach in Kennebunkport (summer and winter) to walk the dog. We always made up fanciful stories about the Wedding Cake House on Summer Street in Kennebunk as we passed it. Now that I live in New York (six decades later), my wife and I spend a week in Kennebunkport every summer and when we get to the Wedding Cake House, we feel as though we are finally back in Maine. It always seems as though you can start smelling the sea air right at that point.

Martha Stewart
You may have redeemed yourself after your October cover featuring Paul Coulombe's not-so-Maine "cottage." Some would argue that Martha Stewart is no different than Coulombe, but I beg to differ. Martha bought an historic "Maine cottage," and I'm quite confident has only improved on what was already there. She has been good for our state, as was indicated by your cover story. I met her years ago when a blueberry festival held an invitational pie competition for her television show. She wasn't personable, but all business. Still, I respected her for what she was doing for the blueberry industry and the final cut told the story well, as only Martha could.
—Irene Maxcy
Warren, Maine
I was disappointed to read John Golden's article, "Martha's Maine." As a former resident of Mount Desert Island, I was surprised to see Martha Stewart's presence given such a general swath of positive attention. Mount Desert Island is loaded with people of all economic classes with varied careers and experiences. In a place that has thrived because of its ability for summer people and locals to coexist for generations, Martha Stewart is a laughable example of what MDI has to offer.
Maine's tourist industry is hearty, and supports many of its residents, and I am the first to say that I appreciate the legions of visitors each summer. I make a point to know them beyond their wallets and, for the most part, enjoy being treated the same. To single out a particular summer resident, without regard to whom she walked over to achieve her wealth or how she has contributed to her seasonal community, is shameful. Martha Stewart trampled on our justice system to achieve her fame; why should Maine want to claim her?

This is a group I created on Evolve, a video-game-social-network-and-group-finder service. It's a pretty cool thing that has been in Beta for several years (is it finally release level??). Anyways, just put up the first post in the forums. I really like how in a community like Evolve, I can create my own sub community. It is almost like those small business start-up "domes" that help novice "entrepeneurs" create their own business.
I find it to be fun and exciting, so should you!

Ironically, I was thinking the exact same thing about Gia. I feel sorry for her. Maybe Gia reacts the ways she does because of the way Teresa handles her (or doesn't). Teresa should pay closer attention to the way Gia is already speaking to her parents and other adults at the early age of 10, because I recognize some of that behavior and Teresa may have a long, hard road ahead of her. She still has four girls to raise, so she should be careful what she insinuates about other people's parenting. Good luck with that.
It's amazing to me that Teresa keeps trying to convince everyone that she is so real and has moved on to a better place, when I know that's not the case. I think it's odd that she doesn't have the bravery to say it in her blog or social media or anywhere else that would leave a trail to her and her true feelings. She can keep on being the fake Teresa I have figured her out to be, while I will just keep being real and showing my true feelings. I'm not afraid to stand behind what I say publicly and it's the same things I have already said to Teresa's face. Keep knocking on that wood, Teresa. Go ahead, knock yourself out. Maybe one day you will wake up.
I really wish Teresa meant everything that she says. I truly do. I wish she could really be sincere for once. The truth is, she hasn't changed a bit and that is unfortunate, but it does make my decision to stay away so much easier. Ironically, such good, positive things and people have been coming into my life since our friendship ended. I need to keep moving forward. Once this season ends, there is no need to look back.
See you all next week! XOXO!
Check out www.JacquelineLaurita.com!
I will be promoting a new acne product soon that has been working for me and many other people I have experimented on so stay tuned!
Ever episode is always focused on Teresa drama.
Love the line "layers of truth and lies", you are all over the lying part! Get out of Tersa's business, get out from under Caroline's thumb and follow your husband's sage advice and mind your own business! Please go just away! Sorry I don't have a book to read to you.
I used to think Terresa was cool, but lately she is off the hook. I think Joe is trying to isolate Teresa from her family. Everyone is afraid to say anything to her. I think they should all sit Teresa down and tell her how they feel about Joe befor they all wash their hands of her.
This is the best blog for this week. You felt like you were doing the right thing because at the time you felt like family. Gia, although hurt was extremely disrespectful to you in your home. If I acted like that as a child, I would have been disciplined and made to apologize to you and Caroline. Keep your head up Jacqueline!
I used to be a huge fan of you, but have since changed my opinion. I understand the blogs are to talk about the episode, but you only continue on with talking about Teresa, her parenting, her kids, her brother, her issues, the ENTIRE BLOG. Its absolutely horrendous what you did to Gia. I have no issue with someone stepping in when a parent is around, but the manner which you did it, being that you are "like" family, but not actually family was disgusting. Your tone, Caroline's tone, just oozed with nastiness, not well meaning words. Kathy was the only one that seemed to handle Gia in a proper way (when a child is not yours). Get over yourself. As I said in my comments to Melissa, Joe is a liar too. What was the date of this text message? He never once mentioned anything the day after when he was at the gym with Richie (who seemed to actually make him think to do it), and it wasn't until days later that Joey, in the car with the camera's on) tell Melissa about the text and says "Look Look Look, i'm a good guy". Why didn't Melissa mention to you that Teresa had responded in a positive manner as you say above in your blog? Did you ever think Tre spoke to you before the message? You have lost me as a fan of yours. Hope you and Caroline leave the show. I'm so over you guys.
Amen! That woman is insane. You put up with her longer than most would, good to cut your losses and move on.
I'm sorry, but history is definitely repeating itself with you! You did the same thing with Danielle that your doing with Teresa and it really makes you seem insecure and desperate. You were so close with Danielle and then when you learned the truth about her (which is that she is a nut job) you became obsessed with her...dedicating entire pages in your blog to talking about her and explaining your feelings. Now, with Teresa.. here you go again. Is Teresa annoying with the family drama...yes! Is she jealous of Melissa for the relationship she has with her brother...yes! BUT.... get over it already and mind your own business. Either be her friend and accept her for who she is or move on and let the friendship go. Instead, what your doing is talking about her CONSTANTLY with Caroline and anyone else who will jump on the "I hate Teresa" bandwagon and going on and on in your blogs. Honestly, you need to focus more on your beautiful family and life and less on bringing Teresa down. If your such a positive and healthy-minded person, then stop talking about her and let it go already. You seem very fragile and sensitive and you pretend that your Teresa's friend when all you do is talk about her. Its very sad. Just accept that Teresa is not the person you thought she was and be happy in life. You should address issues in your blog.. but you go WAY over and beyond.
Jac- i do believe Tre when she said that Joe texted her AFTER she talked to you. He even said to Melissa in the car: ' i texted her last night' and you had talked to her earlier that day. Read Tre's blog
I think when you say you read your twitter comments, you only read the ones that are positive to you and validate your behavior. Plain and simple, you had no right to do what you did. You looked like a wreck trying to read a book to a kid to teach a lesson. I know Gia was wrong in the way she spoke and behaved... I will say that.
To point out the last piece you wrote on T and the good place she is in (or not really). I happen to think Teresa is in a very good place. Although she is not the brightest (you and the Manzo's continously ridicule her for that) she is a very smart business woman and is acheiving success that you WILL NEVER EVER acheive. You just dont have it, and that is not a dig to you, you just don't have that star quality that Teresa has (with all her looniness and all) you just dont have it. So you can talk about your little projects all that you want but don't ever expect them to catapult the way T's have.
I am so glad that you said that you did overstep your boundaries and took responsibility for it. Though, like you said, she was disrespectful and needed to be repremanded, kids are always meant to be taken care of by there adults. It did not seem like you meant harm but i think it takes more to admit your wrong then to to try and defend it. I thought it was so great and underappreciated that you took all that time to put together the field day for everyone. I know that had to take alot of time and money to put that together and to do that for family and friends, and even "New" friends is just amazing. I think your a wonderful woman, mother, and example. Keep your ahead up, smile everyday, and just keep looking up and saying thank you god for helping me get through this day. I do that everyday, even when it feels like you weren't going to make it.
P.S.- I LOVE YOUR HUSBAND!! I think chris and Al are just the funniest husbands, but they also stay out of all the drama and protect you and caroline so much! also my husbands name is chris :)
Jacqueline..I understand you saying you may have over stepped your bounds but sweetheart you did not go far enough. Gia's behavior of telling ADULTS to leave her alone, walking and stomping off, disrespectful. It use to be a time where the whole neighborhood stepped in to parent and children listened simply becaue you were an adult. I agree with carolines daughter have family day with FAMILY, who respect one another. Her husband Joe is just as demented as Teresa, he told her he would divorce her and put her parents out if Joe Gorga's name is mentioned....Pattern...lack of respect. Jacqueline you did not overstep your bounds; you stayed within them and then some.
Too bad Dina wont be on the show so EVERY episode can be about your family drama huh? You say you feel bad yet you are trying to justify why you and Caroline bullyied a 10 year old. Sad.
Shame on you and Caroline for the way you treated Gia. Do you think we viewers don't know it's because of your issues with Teresa? Can you say, "Bully"? You complain about Teresa's comment about Ashley, but you and Caroline continue to stir the pot about Teresa. Shame, shame on both of you.
Gia was a guest's of Jacqueline's and was acting like a spoiled brat. Jacqueline was nice. I'd have told her to get out of the house.
Glad you clarified things a bit. I sort expected Caroline to take the same approach but have to admit, a little disappointed. Of course no one expected Teresa to reflect honestly on the situation so no surprise there. On a side note, I too have an 18 year old who has given us a run for our money. We too have had to make some very difficult decisions and often times, sit on the sidelines (praying) that something sunk in.
Dear Bravo,
Please take Jacqueline off the air she is not the same person we used to love.
Her heart is bitter and cold. She has invovled herself in Teresa's family drama so much and has even picked a side!
Please remove her and maybe one more cast mate and add 2 new people to the mix...hmm I wonder what it would be if Bravo removd Jacqueline and Melissa and added two new uninvolved parties.
Dear Jacqueline did Caroline help you write this blog? It sure sounds like she did, you used most of her silly cliché quotes. Why are you all competing in "who is the best mother"? There is no reward and guess what there is no best mum in the world. Being a mother is the hardest job of all, and when you do the hardest job mistakes are often and acceptable... so what if Teresa or anyone felt bad for Ashley at some point?
You are so crazy lady! You seriously need help! You have your own perspective on things, but you think anyone with a different perspective is lying! You were so out if line with that child it is unbelievable! You were immature and condescending! Try and take some advice from your husband and stay out of other people's life! Please go back into some sort of intensive therapy! Maybe even check yourself in for a while! You need it! Then maybe you will see how fake and wrong you really are!! By the way just because you put a "LOL" after something does not mean that it wasn't a rude b*tchy comment!!
I think you handled the situation appropriately, and with a great deal more patience than I would have. In my opinion, I would NEVER let a child of mine speak to an adult in the manner she did to you and Caroline.
Those of us with intellingence see Teresa for what she is. I think the Teresa followers have been drinking the "koolaide"
I respect you and Caroline and also admire Melissa for how much she has had to endure at the hands of Teresa. Her conversation with Joe in the car speaks volumes about their "so called wonderful marriage."
Wow you stooped that low to read Joe's text message to Teresa? Who does that?? That's is beyond being nosey, it's downright wrong & RUDE!!! How dare you? Keep drinking the Caroline Kool-Aid, it's definitely working you into a HOLE!!!
What about Lauren's meltdown in the kitchen? No mention of that? I think Teresa is lucky to be rid of friends like you and Bozo. She still doesn't back talk you guys yet all of you dissect each and everything she does. The story line is all about Teresa because none of you have anything else interesting going on. You made hurtful comments about Gia. Teresa felt awful her daughter was bullied by two "friends" when at the time she didn't even know how badly you were all talking behind her backs- like cowards. She got the text from her brother after she spoke to you. She already clarified it so shut up. You guys are all so jealous and I think it is the best revenge for Teresa.
You were wrong and way out of line.
If you don't want things discussed then don't air them on national tv. Your actions and reactions are part of your problems with Ashley. I agree with what Teresa said and thought that while watching your and Caroline's treatment of Gia. There are ways of correcting children without being mean and you were mean.
I think your blog is very rude, ALL of you are guilty of NOT MOVING ON!!! Every one of you talk trash about each other, it is comical!!! I guess it is all for show! Everyone is done with the drama, but yet you get on the blogs and stir the pot! Happy Ratings!
Jacqueline, you just have to turn it around again to Teresa. This is all getting very tiring. You were wrong to attack Gia the way you did. And believe me, it was an attack that you and Caroline perpetrated. There is no excuse.
Jacqueline, You have talked behind Teresa's back regarding EVERY single aspect of her life for almost 2 seasons now. I have watched every episode of the series and I have never heard Teresa say anything means/critical/judgmental about any of the other children yet Caroline's brood says horrible things about Teresa's children all the time. She even wrote in her blog that Joey sent the text after you talked with Teresa, why not believe that? WHY do you spend ALL of your time talking about her??? Teresa has never said a mean thing about you or your family but you've been gossiping behind her back and throwing in passive agressive digs to her face. Everyone knows you don't have the guts to say anything, you just tip toe around it and hope the other person can perceive what you are trying to say. Get a life. She doesn't have to apologize or change or anything for you. Maybe SHE doesn't want YOU in HER life, have you thought about that? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Jacueline. I have to be serious here, you used to be my favorite. BUT not any more. You are so desperately trying to hang onto whatever thread of the show that you can, its truely sickning. It's time to leave ! Your NOT helping yourself by siding with Caroline, she is one of the most transparent HW's there is ! To bad your not smart enough to think for yourself and follow what you truely feel. It seems like you have to follow someone at all times, trying to be seen. In the past seasons, it was Tre. Ha, you should have stayed with her, Caroline will never help you in any way, she can't help herself. All Caroline knows how to say is, my daughter is fat and Tre, this and that.
Sorry, Maybe its time to really think about what your doing !!
I think your blog is very rude. You ALL say the worst things about each other! EVERY ONE of you say you are moving on and are tired of the drama?? You keep stirring the pot in the blogs... All for show I guess. Happy Ratings
Oh. My. God. Your blog is, again, WRONG on so many levels. I find it "laughable" that you just can't help yourself but to CONTINUE to tear down at Teresa week after week in an effort to expose how "fake" she is to the viewers. Also, if Teresa is doing sh-- behind the scenes and doesn't "leave a trail to her and her true feelings" then for Heaven's sake, take some pointers from her on how to do that because I, for one, am SO SICK OF YOUR DRIVEL!
What happened to you? I used to be one of your biggest fans. Now, now I just wish you would go away and get the help you need or focus on your two beautiful little boys and hubby.
What you did to Gia was awful, there are no excuses for it. You are in no position to be telling people how to raise their kids. Please stop. You say you know it was wrong then write a paragraph about why it wasn't soooo wrong. Or how other people told you they would have been harsher. Really, Jac?
"Getting support"...I call b.s. You block anyone on twitter that says something you don't like. Of course all you're going to get is support when you do that! Melissa does the same thing. If all you want is a love feast...enjoy it. Just don't act like you allow anyone to make an honest comment you don't like because you don't.
A question for you, why do you care so much about other families problems when your own family is a mess? Shouldn't you focus on fixing your own house first? Just a thought. Teresa will be smiling and living her life with or without you. Perhaps you should do the same.
jac...i always liked you...but you bullied that child! I'm glad you apologized. Which is more than Caroline did. It's OBVIOUS you don't like Theresa...but enough already. Quit being so mean. It's not pretty on you!
What a freaking cop out. You taunted a child, following after her reading that book and laughing. You are not someone I would want in my life and especially my daughter's life. Wise up, you and your sister-in-law are being called on the carpet by a majority of the posts on her blog. I think you avoided posting your blog to see what people were saying. I can't stand the show anymore and you are a HUGE part of it!!! ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK ABOUT IS HOW BAD TERESA IS...leave it alone already. We all get it, you cant stand Teresa or her husband. I wish you and Caroline and Melissa would get fired! On no, better yet...I hope housewives gets cancelled and Teresa gets her own show on another network. I bet Bravo won't post this...
Jacqueline, dont be upset with the way you handled Gia , she was being rude and disrespectful. Teresa obviously felt the need to backlash but making those comments about Ashlee, knowing how much that would hurt, was wrong and yet again she didnt care. I really used to like Teresa but she has def changed. I dont know why , nor do I want to at this point . Your hubby has a great attitude, stick with him and be done with a friendship with Teresa you have done all you can. If you remain friends with the Gorga's, and Whakile's, which I hope you do , make a pact to all that there will be no Teresa talk at all - good or bad. I am glad to know Ashlee and you are in a better place and I hope that continues in the future. I have a feeling Teresa will know all to soon how you felt, dealing with her 4 daughters !!! I am sure Teresa didnt repremand Gia for the dunk tank cheating either !!!
I thought you handled the Gia situation well. You did not overstep any boundary and the way she was acting, was very disrespectful. You kept it light hearted and playful, yet got your point across. For Teresa to reprimand you and Caroline in front of everyone, including a ten year old, shows her true colors. Regardless of the situation, Teresa should have heard both sides and pointed out the obvious that is no way to speak to an adult. Pertaining to Teresa, you can't argue with stupid. Hopefully as the season plays out, we will see the situation for what it is with her. She showed her true colors on last season's reunion. What a shame.
Well Jacqueline, it seems you are just consumed with negative Teresa comments aren't you? None of you would be on that show without her, she is the show. I hope she quits soon and you will see, no one is gonna watch. As for the Gia situation, I can see that you probably did mean it to go as you said, but you should NEVER team up with Godmother Caroline, she made you look BAD!!! You were coming from one angle and she was coming from another. She overpowered you and was a huge bully to Gia which made you appear that way too! It seems you want to be all tit for tat about who has the worse kid you or Teresa! Yes her girls need some discipline, and I happen to think she sees that. I think its a shame you and Teresa have parted ways, I thought you were good together. I believe if both of your nasty sister in laws (Caroline and Melissa) weren't on the scene, you would still be good friends.
Really??? The way you and Caroline acted with gia was way out of line! Your first paragraph in your blog says a lot.... You have all these great things going on! Theresa has had great things going on for some time now. I honestly feel you and Caroline are jealous. While I don't condone how Joe Giudice speaks to his wife, your Chris is no prize either. The way he speaks to and about Ashley is horrendous too! I'm really disappointed in the person you have become. It seems like you are always seeking ever ones approval. Theresa doesn't do that. She is what she is , love her or hate her. Take a real good look in the more Jacqueline. Theresa has made a brand for herself, good luck endorsing acne medicine.
In season 4 Jacqueline, you and Caroline have been nothing but bullies and trouble makers.... You family and the Manzo are such hypocrites... You are no friend or better yet good loyal person. You love to see other fail like you have.. Both you and Caroline need to get off your high horse and realize there are more important things to talk about then Teresa and her family mishaps.. Remember you and Caroline have plenty of skeletons in your closets that have never been brought to light.. If you do not like Teresa then leave her alone and stop talking about her business. If you love Gia and her sisters you would not bad mouth their mom every chance you get.
I think you may be delusional thinking that people agree with what you did. Why dont you look at the comments people left on Caroline's blog? An overwhelming number of them disagree with what you and Caroline did and think you handled the situation TERRIBLY. I think you know that too. And the way you came after Teresa in your blog, as usual, is exactly what I expected you to do. Maybe every episode is about Teresa and her family because the Manzo/Laurita clan is simply BORING! You have nothing going on of interest in your lives!! Its a snooze fest over at your place... SORRY!
I completely agree with everything you have stated above and have felt that way myself just from the video footage we see as the viewing public. While all children are beautiful, we have to teach them boundaries, respect, and above-all that they are not in charge. I also think it is funny that people are so against Caroline and yourself for what you guys supposedly did to Gia in the basement. If I was not in the room and another adult saw my child or children acting that way, I would hope they would put my child in their place and then come tell me about it so I could handle it further. You and Caroline absolutely 100% did nothing wrong and I don't care what anyone says about it. I also find it crazy that people call Caroline a bully, but she is and has always been from season one the same person. I can smell Teresa's BS from Texas, and believe me, there is not enough air freshener to get rid of it. Keep being true to who you are. Don't let the haters get you down. The truth will always come out in the wash! I think you are amazing. And in regards to Ashlee, what Teresa obviously did not comment on is that you guys are in a better place now which shows that you did plant the seed in Ashlee about getting her priorities in line and that even though mother/daughter relationships are not always smooth, if you don't give up or give in, the relationship will come together naturally. The same thing happened with me and my mom. Again, I love the Laurita/Manzo family and I stand by you guys completely!!!!
Teresa, Teresa , Teresa You all owe her everything you gained on the show. Because without her you would not have a story line. You would be a the diner, having coffee with the local thuggs as Danielle did her last season on the show.
I am so glad to hear that you have let Teresa go from your life. She is toxic at this point in her life. She is living in a land all of her own. The way that she lets Joe (her husband) speak to hear is horrible. If any man, let alone my husband EVER spoke to me that way I would have pulled that car over and rolled his ass out. He has some nerve speaking to anyone that way. Hold your head high. Parenting is not easy! Keep your family close.
Jac, What happened to "live and let live?" Leave Teresa alone! Clearly you and Caroline are not fans of her so stop talking about her! She doesn't hardly ever say a bad thing about you and continue spewing venom nonstop!
Whether or not Teresa is in the wrong or not, I still have more respect for her because of it. Friendships fall apart all of the time and people stay mad at former friends for long periods of time. But does that mean you have to BASH her? No, because she doesn't do that to you. She has to defend herself for crying out loud!
I hope you can regain focus on what's importance and stop with these 100 page blogs that attack her left and right. XOXO
I've recently rewatched season 1 and 2 of RHONJ and I would just like to say that I think it is so sad the way things have turned out between you all. You and Caroline were so close to Teresa and tbh everything that you don't like about her now you found hilarious and cute back then. I dont know what changed.
Let her cry it out and go get her mother. Then after the storm has passed then calmly pull out the book. The Joy Berry series is my favorite for teaching kids but you have to know when to use it. When you are upset the last thing you want someone to do is read a Help me be good book. Whats wrong with you! If sarcasm, poking fun and being condescending is your idea of caring for someones feelings than you are the child. If you don't like how the little girl acts don't worry about it your fighting with her mother so you don't have to deal with them if you don't want to.
I think you are a good mom and I think you have a good heart. I wish you were a little bit more confident in the decisions you make and don't let others influence you so much. This includes Caroline....especially Caroline.
I would suggest to you and Caroline to never discipline someone else s child. You should have gone to get her period you two look like nothing but bullies. This is something any woman with half a brain knows. Another suggestion is to quit butting your nose in where it doesn't belong. It is none of your business what transpires between two people who aren't even your relatives. At the time you were back stabbing Teresa so why were you so concerned? Then the way you run to big mamma Caroline, your hubby, and your guests to gossip all before your friend gets there is priceless. If you would have put as much energy into your kid as you do into Teresa's family maybe your daughter wouldn't have gotten into the situation she is in. You spent a large part of your blog bashing a 10 year old way to go! It shows you have the mental attitude of a ten year old so no wonder you picked on Gia you see her at your own level.
Maybe you should distance yourself from all of them. Caroline isn't helping you. Maybe you should remember why you didn't like her to begin with. Love your husband he seems like the most reasonable person on the show. Use to like you but not anymore. You just do the same thing over and over. First Danielle is your friend then Caroline butts in and she is no longer. Then Kim G Now Teresa. Make your own life better maybe it is time to listen to your husband and take care of your children;

the commonly-used particleboard or medi-um-density fiberboard, but Traynor claims this helps the tone project with stronger authority and body. I was in complete agreement after plugging in a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Jr. DC bass and laying down some stoic, rock grooves.
One of the best things about an all-tube preamp is that the Gain control canbe used for tailoring the feel and responseof the tone, rather than just piling ondistortion. The YBA300 exemplified thiswell as I moved the Gain control to theupper registers of 2 o'clock and beyond,which softened the highs, thickened themidrange, and pushed the low end toeven deeper territory. There wasn't a lotof onboard overdrive available from theamp—just enough to add a slight amountof grit to the top end—but the YBA300doesn't appear to be designed for the heavyoverdrive crowd. Instead, Traynor gives anod to the old-school style of using thepreamp Gain knob for altering the over-arching response and feel of the tone—arefreshing approach in these days of mod-ern, saturation-soaked amplification.Even with all the glee I was experi-encing while exploring the amp's tonalofferings, the real fun began when Istarted kicking in the Deep, Bright, andThe tone of the YBA300 was stag-geringly huge. As I worked with someClutch-inspired, bluesy, hard rock lines, Ididn't have a need to move the Bass controlhigher than 1 o'clock. The tone breathednaturally as I alternated varying degreesof fingerpicking attack, heaving in andout like a strong wave of water hitting mychest with every note, I plucked on theGibson's short-scale neck. All the EQ con-trols had a good amount of range, but theMid Frequency control seemed to make anoticeable difference only when I movedinto the 2.0 kHz range.

Resonance switches. The Deep switch added extra subs and a slight amount of extra cut on the treble, making it perfect for modern, hard-rock bass tones that demand a solid foundation underneath heavy guitar-riffing. While the Bright switch performed its designated job well—simply boosting the treble a tiny amount—the real kicker came from engaging the Resonance control. This effectively removed a large portion of dampening on the low frequencies and allowed the bass to bloom and vibrate in exhilarating ways. Even with the Master Volume at 10 o'clock, this was not for the faint of heart. Two pieces of glassware, located two rooms away, vibrated off a shelf and shattered with the Resonance control engaged. The tonal experience was not just hearing with

I got addicted to this pattern because it is so easy and makes the most chic tanks. I live in tanks in the summer and this pattern will be a staple. I adjusted it to make it a maxi tank dress…another of my wardrobe basics and this will definitely be a go-to dress for the summer. Perfect with platform sandals and you can belt it .
I think it could work well for prints or solids. If there is a "wrong" side to the fabric then you may want to line the top so when the straps twist you don't see an obvious wrong side.

The perfect white summer dress, and, I think it would look as great as a midi, as it does a maxi – Wow – great with your skin tone, elegant, and could be casual or dressy depending on how you style it… again WOW! This is why we go on Burdastyle :)
Jul 31, 2013, 04.42 PMby craftoholic
Great idea, and the dress looks beautiful on you, as do your other versions. I just downloaded this pattern to make a tank, but I might try a dress as well, I just love the casual yet elegant style.

In reconstructing early evolutionary events, however, biologists are not limited to the geologic fossil record. The cell itself retains evidence of its past in the amino acid sequences of its proteins and in the nucleotide sequences of its nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. This living record is potentially far richer and more extensive than the fossil record, and it reaches back in time beyond the oldest fossils, to the period when the common ancestor of all life existed.
In order to read the biochemical record it was necessary to develop a technology for determining (at least in part) the sequence of a gene or of the RNA or protein product encoded by a gene. For proteins this has been possible for about 25 years, but the direct sequencing of DNA and RNA has been feasible for only the past five years or so. The new technology for sequencing nucleic acids should enable biologists to uncover in relatively short order far more about the history of life than had been thought possible. It was by applying techniques of sequencing to the century-old problem of the natural relations among bacteria that my colleagues and I recognized the archaebacteria as a third form of life.

CS:http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...51#post9778051In 2018, the US military covers all of the middle east and most parts of the world for terrorism reasons. Either know Operation Stop Terror, the operation to find terrorist groups and disband them for good, has been successful, the United States still are stationed all over the middle east to be such that they're gone for good. For years since US went to 'war on terror', there have been protests and riots all over the states, like the UCLA walkout, where students didn't show up for class and protested about the increased taxes. But the worst of all was the Southern California blackout, where an error stopped power stations across Southern California working for three weeks. The people looted and raided building, schools, stores for days, and some broken into celebrations houses. The president said that, the blackout wasn't due to paying the military but to the guys who made the 'error', but peoples believed that the president lied so he won't have to bring the troops back home. The president is going to the UN meeting to propose that other countries follow his steps to make such that terrorism no longer a common thing. Few European countries had stated that 'they aren't going to abuse the people's rights' but most want to hear his propose. A riot is planned for the day, that the president arrives in New York City. We want answers. We want our troops to come home. We want our freedom back.
Hello all and welcome to my second RP! This is an alternate universe RP where, the president goes crazy over terrorism due to the attacks. After Operation Stop Terror was a success, the president told the people of America that the troops are staying at the Middle East until it's 'over'. It has been years since he told the people that, riots, protest had happened across the United States and it's due to the economy and it's because of the military. The people lost their freedom after the attacks, cops are allowed to kill whenever, airports had become a prison due to all of the body searches on everyone. Three presidents had been in office and didn't listen to the people's cries, and the people are tired of waiting. They want thing to go back to normal and now.
1) Three paragraphs, 7 - 10 sentences for each paragraph.
2) This is realism and 2018 isn't like 3000 so no flying cars or laser guns.
3) There is going to be gore (like blood, broken bones, etc.) so if you don't like those things, this RP isn't for you then.
4) Grammar and spelling must be okay, meaning if you make a mistake, it's fine as long as you fix it.
5) Since this is a riot RP, you're allowed to play as an officer or a protester, if there isn't enough people, you may play two characters.
6) 8 is only limit that I'll accept and that's all.
7) If you are going to be gone or something, tell me before you leave.
8) If you leave without tell us, we'll give you two days before your character will be killed or taken to jail.
9) Post your CS at the CS thread and OOC at the OOC thread and also RP in the IC thread.

Wireless networking has definitely made life easier with wireless networks and hotspots available while you travel. But some hotel rooms still provide Internet connections via a wired Ethernet port. Same is the case with many offices and conference rooms. Ethernet connectivity is fine if you move around with single laptop or notebook, but with present generation devices such as tablets, phones and ultra-books that do not have Ethernet ports, wireless networking is the only source for connectivity. This calls for converting an Ethernet port into a wireless terminal and a wireless router is a must. The front just has a status indicator D-Link has come a long way and has been well known in the Indian market for their expertise in networking products. Presently, they also bring unique wireless routers which are highly portable—for example, the DAP-1350 which is a three-in-one pocket sized travel router, the Le Petit flash drive-sized USB router and the MyPocket, which is a credit card holder-sized portable battery operated router. These wireless products are usually aimed towards frequent travellers who need most of their wireless Internet-enabled devices to be connected to the cloud at all given times. Not all devices are 3G enabled and even if they are, using a tablet, phone and laptop with individual 3G connections could add up to additional costs on your wallet or business. Hence a wireless router is the only option to supply a single Internet connection to all the devices. Keeping this in mind, D-Link introduces yet another product, the DIR-505 All-in-on Mobile Companion. Let's check out some highlights of this product to see if it really is worth a mobile companion. An Ethernet and a USB port is the only interface Build quality and Design The shape and form-factor resembles a regular power adapter and also can be mistaken for a mosquito repellant unit. The antennae, power supply and the router are completely built into this compact unit, which is light in weight and highly portable. The device is powered by an internal power supply and works directly off a 110/220V power outlet. The top features a single physical switch with a three point option to choose the operation mode of the DIR-505 in router, repeater or AP mode respectively. The front has a single bright LED which when lit in red indicates the device is booting or connecting to another router and when green, indicates that the device is ready for use. The entire package or shell is built in a very sturdy and compact plastic shell, which has a matte-finished exterior. The white colour will eventually get tarnished in time, and hence you may have to keep the device clean with a damp cloth every time you use it. Features The D-Link DIR-505 is a multi-purpose wireless device, which can be used as a router, an access point, a repeater, a Wi-Fi hotspot or a network attached storage unit. The built-in radio interface is IEEE 802.11 b/g/n compliant and has a data throughput speed of 150 mbps. It also features a single 10/100 mbps Ethernet port for LAN and WAN connectivity. A USB 2.0 port is also seen alongside the Ethernet port and one might think this device is also compatible with a 3G dongle as most routers today feature 3G compatibility modes. But sadly, this USB port is only meant or configured for attaching storage devices. A storage device, be it a USB pen drive or an external hard drive, when connected to the DIR-505, can be shared on the network with all the connected devices. It would have been nice if D-Link had enabled 3G dongle support which would add more value to this great product. We also hope DDWRT firmware would tap into the device and help enable more features as usual. Different modes can be chosen for operations |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.

Agates soccer players vs. deer
Last week Kaydi Hooey was the victim of a hit and run — by a deer.By: LaReesa Sandretsky and Tammy Francois, Lake County News Chronicle
Last week Kaydi Hooey was the victim of a hit and run — by a deer.
The 13-year-old junior varsity soccer player was running with her team along a trail behind the baseball field at Two Harbors High School when she heard the girls around her start to scream.
"I heard something behind me and I turned around and it hit me," reported Hooey. "I was like, 'Oh my God, did this happen to me?'"
In her mother's words, what happened to her was a deer ran into her "like a football tackle."
"She was hit in the lower back, lifted off her feet, carried a short distance and fell to the ground," Janis Hooey said in an e-mail. "The deer continued into the woods."
Despite the collision, Hooey didn't seem concerned.
"We didn't get the full story the first time she called," said Hooey's mom, Janis. "She said she was fine. It wasn't until I picked her up and she showed me her back that I said, 'No, we're going to have you checked out.'"
The gash on her back wasn't the only damage the deer did.
It turned out that she also had a concussion, some muscle spasms in her back and some minor bumps and bruises, but judging by a Facebook status update she made while in the emergency room, she was still in good spirits.
"I was swept off my feet by a deer, dumped and now am heartbroken," it said.
"She's back in school and just disappointed she can't play soccer," her mother said. Hooey will be benched for a week or so until she gets the all-clear from her doctor.
Friends of Hooey responded to her Facebook post with comments ranging from concern to creative versions of "Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer," her mom said.
"She's had a very good sense of humor about it," Janis said. "On the way to the ER she said, 'This is a story I can tell when I'm in the nursing home!'"
Between now and then, she hopes her story will get to Jay Leno, her mom said.
Hooey is not the first Agate soccer player to have a close encounter of the deer kind.
In fact Hooey's story sounded very familiar to Tyler Carlson, 24, of Duluth. He graduated from Two Harbors High School in 2006, where he also played soccer.
Carlson's team was on a training run on a cross-country ski trail near the high school when he heard rustling in the woods behind him. He suspected it was a teammate who was known for playing practical jokes.
Turning around to confront what he thought was another soccer player, he found himself face-to-face with a deer.
"I think it was scared…it just ran me over, knocked me five or six feet into the woods. I was just stunned," he said.
He ended up with a couple of bumps and bruises, but emerged mostly unscathed.
"I didn't even comprehend what happened," he said.
Phillip Lockett, chairman of the Duluth City Bowhunt, said the collisions were probably accidents or miscalculations by the deer.
"Deer do some weird things. They don't always adhere to the things that we think they should do," he said.
He noted that a buck might storm a runner in confusion because of high autumn testosterone levels and a doe might attack someone getting too close to her fawn. He speculated that this wasn't the case for Carlson or Hooey since the deer quickly fled the scene. A doe would probably put up more of a fight if she felt threatened and a buck likely wouldn't approach a group of runners.
"I'd probably chalk it up to mostly coincidence," he said.

American Wines With Native Vines?
First it was pet turtles and now it's wine grapes—I just can't stop thinking about what it means to be native. The United States ferments 700 million gallons of wine each year, most of it from the sugary mash of Vitis vinifera, a grape species imported from the Old World. Yet North America boasts a total of six grapes, including the subtropical muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), the cold-hardy frost grape (Vitis riparia) and the fox grape (Vitis labrusca) from the Northeast. What gives?
About 7,400 years of Vitis vinifera winemaking, as I wrote for Scientific American last year. But just because V. vinifera happened to be the first grape humans began domesticating, doesn't mean it has to remain the ne plus ultra of the grape world.
The online wine magazine Palate Press has an interesting article about American pioneers like the late Elmer Swenson of the University of Minnesota who hybridized the Frost grape with the European grape to develop the St. Croix. The University Web site says "it is still too soon to judge its wine quality potential."
Other researchers, such as Bruce Reisch of Cornell University and independent breeder Lon Rombough, are trying to create new grape cultivars for homegrown wines. But so far the grapes' potential has been limited to niche markets and growing regions where the climate is too warm or too cold for V. vinifera. "Most people have never heard of a Frontenac or a Muscadine, much less know how to match one with a steak or a penne pasta," David Mark Brown writes at Palate Press.
In fact, America's favorite oenophile, Thomas Jefferson, tried and failed to grow European grapes at Monticello. According to a new book, The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine, Jefferson should have gone local. Just a few years before his death in 1826, a Virginia physician named Daniel Norton succeeded in hybridizing V. vinifera and a Midwestern native, Vitis aestivalis. The Norton is still grown in Virginia and is the cornerstone of the Missouri wine industry.

If it makes you feel any better, all US grapes are grown on native root-stock, even if the scion (stem) is foreign. There is an insect pest in the US that only native roots can withstand.

This table is perfect especially if you like to host gatherings. I was really impressed with the wine rack, it adds a more classy look to the whole table. The table is sturdy and it can hold a lot. The quality is great and the drawers are big.
Though it took me about an hour to assemble, it was pretty easy to follow and the picture illustration helps a lot. I've place my buffet along the dining area wall, along the center and it really adds style to the whole room. Really elegant, and the wine rack is a plus. I love wine and now everything is all in one place. It looks great as the center point to my dining area. The style and quality is more than expected, it's very sturdy and the style offers an update look in my dining area. The price is not bad at all, I know for sure since I've been looking that this is the lowest so far, and trust me I've looked around. You need a buffet cabinet, this is the one for you it will add a nice look to your dining room and it did mine.
very good purchase. Bought this buffet for my dining room and its the perfect addition! It took a few hours to put together, but overall not very diffucult to assemble. Happy with the results and would recommend this product!
This product looks great and gives a nice modern touch. It's a great size for a smaller dining area and really brings the room together. It is a good qualtiy and seems that it will last us a long time. The only thing I did not like about the buffet was the set up. I thought the directions were not helpful at all. They only show pictures with no words so I suggest taking your time and making sure you are building correctly before screwing in any nails. Also, it is a darker finish than I think the picture leads you to believe. This worked out better for us because of the color of the other furniture in the room, but just be advised. Other than that it is great!
This is exactly what I needed for my dining room. Easy to assemble and looks fantastic.
Took a while to put together but it was well worth it. Looks great in my woman cave.
It was a bit challenging to assemble, but it was definitely worth the "jigsaw puzzle" effort. We were looking at similar products that cost double the price. We also like the fact that we can adjust the shelf height. One side can accommodate the tall liquor bottles while the other has shorter shelves for the shot glasses.
I love this buffet. It was a headache to assemble(because of so many pieces) but worth it! Getting lots of compliments from everyone. :)
I was very hesitant to order this item, but really needed a server and didn't have much money to spend on it at the time. I was looking at this one and one other which was double the price. After reading the great reviews I decided to take a chance and order it, and I am really glad I did! It looks great and fits my space perfectly. It's actually made very well and it was fairly easy to put together. If you are seeking a contemporary piece and do not want to spend a ton of money, you can't go wrong with this one!
Love this piece of furniture, it fits a ton of stuff and looks great. Wasn't too difficult to assemble either. Only complaint is that if the weight of the two cabinets isn't balance, the doors slide to the heavier side. We have all our glasses on one side, and all of our liquor bottles on the other side. Both doors slide to the side with bottles. We fix this by keeping one of the drawers pulled out slightly which prevents the doors from moving, but would be nice if there was a little bump or something in the track to keep the doors in position unless pushed with slight force.
