What was the inspiration for starting this business?
Stan and Joanne started making wine ... to carry on the family tradition of home winemaking, but they had a lot of learning to do as they went through the process. After years of experimenting at home, they tried making wine at one of the Vintner's Circle locations. They couldn't believe how easy it was to make wine and how each batch always came out tasting great. Joanne and Stan decided to open a location here in NEPA to share their experience with new and experienced winemakers here.
What?s your favorite part about your job?
We love spending time with our customers and helping them make a great tasting wine. It's fantastic to see groups of family and friends come in together and really enjoy their experience here, whether they are making wine or attending one of our classes or events. Stan and Joanne's favorite event by far is the Sangria Challenge. They love seeing how much fun the teams have in the trivia challenge and how creative the teams get in building their Sangria and designing their labels.

I looked at one of my progress tracking graphs for one of my projects right after telling my colleague that Mr E Man had worked on the new Godzilla movie, and what I saw can not be unseen.
I looked at one of my progress tracking graphs for one of my projects right after telling my colleague that Mr E Man had worked on the new Godzilla movie, and what I saw can not be unseen.
Me: "Have you seen my bookmark?"
Him: "It's in your hand"
Me: "…"
Me: "No, not 'have you seen my book, Mark?'. I meant 'have you seen my bookmark, Mark?'"
(Mark will continue to be referred to as Mr E Man on this blog, because a) I think it's funny and b) I like it when he comes with me to meet bloggers and they call him Mr E Man to his face and he gets confused)
Photo quiz time! Can you name the cities in the photos below?
Some of these are easier than others (I've tried to put the hardest ones first), so extra points if you can also name the building(s) in the photos!
I'll send all comments to moderation for a few days, to give everyone a chance to play.
1 – from a train window
2 – ditto, but on a different day
3 – not King's Landing
4 – if you know the name of this building, you're one step ahead of me!
5 – featuring Mr E Man and my Dad
6 – taken the day before we started suffering from Golden Dome Fatigue
7 – there were dozens of teenagers dressed as vampires running around, for added atmosphere on this moonlit night
8 – still not King's Landing, believe it or not. You can tell because a) there are modern vehicles in the shot, and b) King's Landing is fictional
9 – this was part of the official sight-seeing tour on the first day of the conference that was the reason for this trip
10 – the view from right outside the door of my favourite hotel on the whole trip
11 – one of the most important and influential people in modern history, and some dude on a pedestal
12 – a different part of one of the buildings already pictured
13 – and the view from inside it
14 – two famous sights in one shot
Have fun!
Once a fortnight, we have a team meeting in the boardroom of our main research building. It's a room that's much in demand, so we often have to wait a few minutes past the hour before we can get in – and this week we then had to tidy up the crackers and crumbs thereof that the group before us had left scattered all over the desks. Fun!
The arrangement of desks and chairs in the room varies quite widely, from a solid block to separate rows to a skinny horseshoe to a chunky horseshoe. However, yesterday was the first time I'd seen this set-up:
We're wondering if a PI somewhere in the building just got a grant to study whether you can accurately gauge an academic's reaction to a presentation by having a team of people study the back of their head… something to do with giving early-career researchers tools to judge whether they should ask a question at a conference or let the bigwigs up front deal with it… any other suggestions?
(I'll be away for the next three weeks, but there'll be a "where in the world was Cath this month?" photo challenge when I get back. Our tenant is looking after our house and kitties while we're away, so I suggest you don't break in – he's a big dude. Kthxbai!).
From a Teenage Mutant Incompetent Ninja Turtle, and dead-Goose-from-Top-Gun
Yes, that's a saw blade through my belly – like I said, incompetent ninja. I also had a backpack on under the t-shirt to make a shell, but it didn't come out in any of the photos
What's your costume this year?
I'll wait for the 5.5 year retrospective post to see just how much grant writing you *didn't* get involved in…
Thus spake the prophet Wintle in the year 2012, upon learning that I was starting a new job that would, in my words, "be somewhat similar to my current one, but with much more emphasis on project management and much less on writing grants".
Well, he was WRONG! Wrong wrongity wrong.
It took 10 months, not 5.5 years.
Due to some changes in my team, I was asked in April to add "PI support" (grant wrangling, plus management of small- and medium-scale projects) for one of our bioinformatics PIs to my existing duties. I'd just literally that very week thought "I feel like I'm finally on top of things in my new role", so of course I said yes (actually, I'd also thought "and now that I'm finally on top of things, I feel less busy than I think I should be", so the change was genuinely welcome).
I've said before that I feel like a bit like a freak for actually enjoying grant writing (even some members of my current team think this is weird). However, I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it until I was back in the middle of wrangling my first full application. My supervisor helped me identify part of the reason I like it so much: everyone's pulling in the same direction, and focusing on the same thing. It can sometimes be hard to get a PI's or other contributors' attention on a long-term project, but when there's a deadline, everyone's priorities suddenly align. Grant writing also plays to my strengths; I'm better at writing, editing, and proofing than I am at some other aspects of long-term project management (how many errors will you spot in this blog post now that I've written that? In my defense, it's been a long day that started with a 6:30 am teleconference). It helps that I'm working with a PI who's doing some very cool (and diverse) research, a good writer, appreciative of my contributions, and not averse to having a bit of fun with his science.
Related to the latter point, I am now also the OAG (official acronym generator) for the bioinformatics research group. I seem to have a knack for it, and will share some of my favourites as soon as they're published or otherwise released into the public domain… hopefully on the CIHR or NIH "funded grants" description page…
Granted (heh), after submitting five full applications between September 15th and (hopefully) tomorrow, the thrill of being back in the grant wrangling saddle has faded a leeetle, but I have a vacation coming up soon to recharge my batteries.
Oh, and the science tamagotchi husbandry effect is once more in play but hey, I'm used to that. And did I mention vacation? Soon?
I have a guest post up on the Research Whisperer site today about grant writing as a career, if you'd like to know more
I have a new post up at Occam's Corner on the Guardian website today, about how non-scientists can (try to) influence the course of scientific research.
As I mentioned over there, the ideas in the post originated and evolved from a session I chaired at this year's Vancouver Change Camp. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in my first Camp in 2011, and went back this year (with a friend who'd been to the first ever Camp, but missed the 2011 event) expecting the day to unfold in similar style. However, before I knew it, I was pitching and then leading a session…
It's all a bit of a blur, but from what I remember the idea came to me while the other pitches – many of which had obviously involved a great deal of preparation – were already underway. I whispered to my friend that I thought it might be a good idea if we co-pitched a session about what people in science outreach (her) and scientific research (me) can do to help science fulfill its responsibilities to society, and vice versa. She thought it was a good idea – for next year. But the idea had taken root, and (after making my friend promise that she'd at least attend my session, even if she didn't want to co-pitch it) I decided it was now or never, and joined the very end of the queue to go on stage. I introduced myself, my career path, and the idea for the session, then scurried back to my seat, heart pounding and face red.
My session was scheduled right after lunch, which gave me some time to jot down a few more ideas. I quickly learned that it's much easier to meet people when you've pitched a session – people approach you to say hi, even when you're sitting in a corner frantically scribbling in a notebook!
I was worried that I might not get (m)any participants, and indeed I was assigned one of the smallest break-out spaces. But lo and behold, we had about ten to twelve people, including my friend and me! I didn't really have a detailed plan, so I (oh-so originally) started by getting everyone to introduce themselves. There was one mathematician and one high school student with an interest in science, but no-one else was from a scientific background – there were a couple of people interested in environmental issues, a couple interested in medical research, and the rest just thought the session sounded interesting in general. I then went over some basics – grant funding, low success rates, publish or perish, all that – and introduced some of the ideas in the Guardian post. I then just let the conversation evolve organically.
The key theme that emerged was of the importance of good science education – not just for people interested in science careers, but for the whole population; not just in schools, but in science museums, urban community gardens, and other venues. We talked about connecting young people to working scientists, and harnessing all the activism energy present in schools and universities. Someone raised the idea of having a "scientist in residence" in schools, parks, museums, and other less traditional venues. More ideas were bandied around than I could possibly manage to jot down, and the small group size meant that everyone participated.
I would call the session a success, overall, despite a severe lack of planning and a slightly awkward beginning. I enjoyed the conversation, and have often found myself returning to the ideas people raised over the last few months (hence the post). It was a little stressful on the day, but worth it – although I think I'll just sit back and enjoy the next event from my seat, rather than from the stage!
I found myself waiting alone outside a meeting room at work the other day, while the people in there wrapped up and packed away and the person I was meeting with was fetching a laptop. Looking around me, I noticed a somewhat unexpected label on one of the cupboards over the printer:
I thought that maybe the labels hadn't been updated for a while, but lo and behold:
I think it's great that a next-generation sequencing centre with petabytes of storage on site is keeping its options open when it comes to data backup. I just wonder how long it'll be before we have trainees in the building who have no idea what these things are for…
While helping Mr E Man book the final leg of our upcoming vacation yesterday, I realised that it's been almost a whole year since we went to Puerto Rico and I still haven't blogged about it. BAD blogger!
We flew to San Juan via Toronto, just a couple of days before the airport closed for Hurricane Sandy. We weren't at all sure that our connecting flight would be going ahead, as our flight path would skirt the eastern-most edge of the hurricane's predicted path, but we took off on time and were told by the pilot that we were in for a smooth ride.
This was a lie.
We bounced our way south for the final hour and a half, and could see the huge masses of cloud off to our right. But, after a very steep descent right over the old city and a bit of a hard landing, we were on the ground, sleep deprived after our red-eye flight but otherwise fine.
We spent the first two nights in San Juan, at a hotel called El Convento which, as the name suggests, used to be a convent. It's a gorgeous building right in the centre of the old town, with old hardwood fittings and an inner courtyard – and all the Sandy-related cancellations meant that we got a free upgrade to a suite!
The old part of the city is very compact, very charming, and feels very safe (there's one part the guidebook warned us away from, which a bartender we talked to thought was hilarious – he took a photo of the warning text and put it on Facebook. However, he then came back to our table (with some free beers) to say that he got several comments in the first few minutes telling him that yes, it is indeed very dangerous for tourists to go to that part of town). We walked all over – we explored both of the old forts (ducking into the sentry post towers to avoid some brief, but very fierce, tropical showers), and experienced both the worst (everything battered and fried) and the best (ceviche and other seafood) of the local cuisine.
(One of the definite benefits of Puerto Rico over Cuba is that all the food and drinking water are regulated to US federal standards, so you can eat anything that looks good without worrying about it. In contrast, I spent a few days in Cuba feeling pretty rough, probably from ice cubes made of unpurified water).
After our second night, we picked up our rental car from the airport and headed west, to Rincon. (The roads are well maintained all over the island, but the drivers are a bit… adventurous). Our accommodation in this surf town was the Tres Sirenas guesthouse, right on the beach, where we quickly made friends (and had a few drinks with) the owners and some of the other guests. The water was too rough for swimming during our first couple of days there, but we enjoyed the delicious pool-side breakfasts, the sunsets, the nearby beachside bar, and driving through the hills then trekking through the jungle to a nearby waterfall running over a rock face that looked like a giant head.
After watching some of the local kids jump off the rock, Mr E Man decided to follow them up the rocks at the side, then stood on the tiny, sloping, slippery ledge with water rushing over his feet before launching himself off into space.
I stayed at the bottom so I could take a photo. You're welcome.
We left the pool when we started to hear thunder, and ran back up the hill through the jungle in the pelting rain, reaching the car just before the lightning started. We actually earned our beer that day!
On our final full day in Rincon, we were finally able to swim in the ocean. It was pretty rough surf still, but lots of fun, and I only face-planted in the sand once.
Back into the car again, and on to the Villa Sevilla guesthouse, in the foothills of El Yunque rain forest. This was our longest drive of the trip, especially as we took a detour to follow a Twitter friend's suggestion to visit Caba Rojo, on the very southwestern tip of the island. It was just as gorgeous as promised – I just wish we'd been able to spend longer there, because the beach looked absolutely amazing!
Luckily, after surviving a near-zero visibility downpour in the mountains and then the outskirts of San Juan during rush hour, Villa Sevilla turned out to be stunning. The owners took us on a tour of the garden and invited us to help ourselves to the passion fruit, Jamaican cherries (which taste like candy floss / cotton candy), and the best avocados I've ever eaten.
On our first morning there, we followed the owners' directions to a swimming hole in the nearby river, where we swam, hung out, and enjoyed the view of the hills. A couple of hours later, it was time to drive back to San Juan to pick up my sister, who was flying in from London to join us for the second week of our trip. We had to drive past the airport to get to the terminal entrance, and were speeding down the road right next to the runway just as the BA jet we could see coming towards us touched down next to us – pretty cool, especially when we confirmed that it was indeed the plane my sister was on!
Now, when my sister and I were growing up, West Side Story was one of the first videos we ever owned, and we watched it over and over again. So when we first started planning our trip over Skype and Mr E Man first suggested Puerto Rico as our destination, my sister and I immediately launched into a spirited rendition of America (which begins with the words from this post's title). So, after greeting my sister, picking up her luggage, and piling into the car, we had the song cued up and ready to go on the stereo – and blasted it at full volume as we headed back to the chalet.
Much rum was drunk that night.
Over the coming days we explored the local beaches, and went on a couple of very hot and sweaty hikes in El Yunque rainforest national park.
Luckily, the views over the jungle and beyond to the coast were stunning (although the various swimming pools were very crowded), and there was a German beerhaus at the foot of the hill for reasons no-one could satisfactorily explain, complete with bratwurst, oom-pa-pa music, and Puerto Rican waitresses dressed in dirndls.
We also ate lots more delicious pork and seafood, and I coined what is probably my best-ever pun: while trying conch ceviche, Mr E Man asked if I was enjoying it, and I said "not really. I don't like the texture. I guess I'm a conch-ientious objector".
After a few days, we moved on to our final destination, Vieques – a small island off the east coast of the main island. (The ferry took about an hour and a half, and cost $2 each. You can't even get a terrible cup of tea for that price on BC Ferries). This was, hands-down, everyone's favourite part of the trip. Vieques used to be used as target practice by the US Navy, so it's only very recently started to be developed (and you do NOT stray off the path – the navy are still clearing up after themselves).
We stayed at Casa La Lanchita, near the ferry terminal on the north side of the island, and rented one of their beaten-up old jeeps – a must, as the roads out to the beaches aren't paved and are pretty rough in places. The beaches are some of the best I've ever seen – clean white sand, clear blue water, and hardly any people. We swam, snorkeled, and generally relaxed. We even went to the beach in the rain (Mr E Man thought the sight of my sister and me spending 10 minutes covering ourselves in factor 30 before snorkelling in the rain was hilarious, for some reason), which was actually very cool indeed.
Vieques inspired my second-best pun of the trip: "I got 99 problems, but a beach ain't one".
In the evenings, there was yet more delicious food, and some more spectacular sunsets. We spent one evening watching the results of the US election coming in, which was quite exciting, especially because Puerto Ricans were also voting on the future of their relationship with the US (they voted to apply for statehood).
Our final night was the true highlight of the trip. There are some mangrove-fringed bays on the south coast of Vieques that have some of the highest concentrations of bioluminescent organisms in the world, and we experienced them on a moonlit kayak tour. (You used to be able to swim there, but a) sun screen and bug spray kill the organisms, and b) someone got bitten by a shark last year).
It. was. STUNNING.
Every paddle stroke became a fireworks display. You could scoop up some water, hold it in your hands, and actually see the individual points of light swimming around. You could see fish and manta rays moving under the surface. My only complaint was that the tour was only about an hour long – I could have stayed all night.
It was only with great regret that we packed up the next morning and headed back to the ferry terminal. As our ferry approached, I managed to lighten the mood by turning to my sister and singing "I think I go back to San Juan"; I was so proud when she immediately sang back "I know a boat you can get on".
We dropped my sister off at the airport for her evening flight, then spent our last night in Puerto Rico in a generic business hotel near the airport. As we flew home the next morning, I couldn't help but compare our trip to our 2009 vacation in Cuba. As I said, it was great to be able to eat and drink anything without worrying about food poisoning, and it was certainly much, much easier to get around than it was in Cuba; the food was also (in general) much better. The accommodation and the beaches were definitely much better in PR, but on the latter point at least I don't think we saw the best of what Cuba has to offer. However, Puerto Rico did feel less exotic, less culturally different than Cuba (we did some of our food shopping for Villa Sevilla at the local Wallmart), and I missed the ubiquitous music that characterised our time in Cuba. I would definitely go back to both places, but for different types of vacation – Cuba for a more difficult but more culturally rewarding trip, and Puerto Rico for relaxation, food, and if travelling with anyone with kids.
We're working on making the latter happen… stay tuned! EMERGENCY EDIT – I meant that we are working on persuading some friends of ours who have kids to go back to Puerto Rico with us, NOT that we are working on having kids of our own to take with us to PR, or anywhere else. Thank you though to the reader who messaged me privately with a very nice message of congratulations!
I just sent out a Rando that may be of interest to some of you:
Yup, it's that time of year again, and Twitter is abuzz with talk of a new #VWXPool!
We're using the same pool as last time, on the CBC website. The group name is "Puck Science", and the password is "VWXYNot?" – all regular readers are very welcome to join! No knowledge of hockey is required, as I think we've proven every year since we started.
The deadline for pick submission is Tuesday October 1st at 4pm Pacific time – my apologies for the later notice than usual (and thanks to Lavaland for nudging me on Twitter!). I'm back on the grant application train again, so it's my busiest time of year at work, combined with an unusually active social life over the last couple of weeks.
A note about updates: during the last two seasons, hosting and coordinating other hosts for the weekly update posts started to feel a bit like a chore, which made it less fun than usual. So, this year, I am decreeing that I will do updates whenever I damn well feel like it, which I think will be much better (for me, anyway, and it's my pool, so there). There'll definitely be an end-of-season update, and probably one at the all-star break, but other than that I'm not promising anything! We can always trash-talk on Twitter instead – and if any participants have blogs and would like to post updates more often than I'm managing, you are very welcome to do so, whenever you damn well feel like it!

UN says has it has list of Syrian war crimes suspects
Published on Feb 18, 2013 6:47 PM
GENEVA (REUTERS) - Syrians in "leadership positions" who may be responsible for war crimes have been identified, along with units accused of perpetrating them, United Nations investigators said on Monday.
Both government forces and armed rebels are committing war crimes, including killings and torture, spreading terror among civilians in a nearly two-year-old conflict, they said.
The investigators' latest report, covering the six months to mid-January, was based on 445 interviews conducted abroad with victims and witnesses, as they have not been allowed into Syria.
Ms Karen Konig AbuZayd, one of four UN commissioners on the team of some two dozen experts, told Reuters: "We have information suggesting people who have given instructions and are responsible for government policy. People who are in the leadership of the military, for example."

Anyone familiar with leaky gut?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-17-2013 - 3:59pm
I'm posting about my MIL because I'm concerned about advice she's receiving from her doctors. She's always had issues with GERD and her thyroid, and is on medications to deal with both. Her doctor diagnosed her with leaky gut last fall, and she's been a very strict diet after seeing an allergist. I'm not sure all that they found her allergic or intolerant to, but she was put on a dairy and gluten free diet, along with being told to avoid this looong list of food items such as blueberries. She just saw the allergiest again a couple of weeks ago and he wanted to take her off of all fruit and sugar, which now has her questioning his suggestions. Even her regular doctor is very confused by it all.
For those of you that have dealt with leaky gut, what type of restrictions were you on?
|Tue, 01-22-2013 - 10:27am
I have never heard of it before but it sounds horrible. What kind of symptoms does your MIL have?
|Tue, 01-22-2013 - 2:32pm
Leaky gut syndrome seems to be one of those "new" dignoses that are not well understood and have had little definitive research done as yet. I would be curious about your MIL's symptoms and how the diagnosis was arrived at. It does seem to be commonly recommended to avoid gluten and highly processed foods, but I saw nothing to indicate that blueberries or other fruits should be a problem, although some sources did mention avoiding processed sugars.
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 3:31pm
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 3:35pm
I can't remember what tests they performed to get the diagnosis. I did have a good talk with her the other night, she's feeling so much better after being on the gluten free diet. The doctor said no sugar because they discovered that she has too much yeast in her body, and sugar obviously feeds it even more. They also put her on strong medication for it, and she's feeling tons better. For over a year she's been having severely swelled legs and ankles, it's been going on for a very long time. She's had tests run, ultrasounds, etc and they couldn't find the problem. Since getting on the new diet and finding the yeast problem, she has no swelling whatsoever. She couldn't even remember when the last time she's had skinny ankles. Once they get the yeast under control, she should be able to have sugar in her diet, but will be sticking with the gluten free. She should be able to go back on most fruit as well.

I am glad to hear she is feeling better. I did see somewhere a connection between yeast overgrowth and leaky gut. It is good that her doctor picked up on that. I hope she will continue to improve.

Yes, Leaky Gut can cause host of issues like Slow digestion, acidosis, gastro paresis, Acid Refluc etc etc. You must ask your doctor for LEAKY GUT REPAIR PROTOCOL or LEAKY GUT PRESCRIPTION.
Since I am one such guy and have recovered I have also put up my blog which you may go through below:-

How to Set Your Wedding Budget
Creating a wedding budget is one of the most stressful aspects of wedding planning and can leave you feeling frustrated and burned out with wedding planning just a few weeks into your engagement. We've put together our best tips for creating your wedding budget without threatening to just call the whole thing off and elope. (Though if you decide to do that, that's fine too!) Here's how we recommend you get started.
Photo by: ashley kelemen photography on Wedding Sparrow UK via Lover.ly
Figure out what sort of wedding you want to have. You don't have to get super detailed here, but it helps to go through the major elements of the day (location, season, type of venue, photography, approximate guest count, entertainment, and food) and think about what you want for each item. As you do so, figure out what's most important to each you. Is being married on the beach more important than having your extended family there? Would you rather have great food or a great band? This is also a good time to ask your families what they envision. What relatives and friends do they want to invite? Do they have strong feelings about any other parts of the wedding in particular?
Estimate what you and your partner and your families can reasonably contribute to the cost of your day. Maybe you already know what your parents can contribute, or perhaps you know they won't be paying for any of it. In any case, it helps to have a ballpark figure in your head as you being doing your initial research.
Do some research. Starting with the basic elements you just came up with, figure out what it would cost to have that wedding you want to have. Is it reasonable? If not, go back to the drawing board and see what you can adjust to make it work. Would you be willing to get married on a Sunday in order to book your dream photographer? Can you try a different location if it meant you could afford to feed 250 people?
The research phase is one of the more tedious aspects of wedding budgeting because this is when you'll need to start digging a little deeper and asking very specific questions about your ideal venue (particularly with regard to catering, decor, lighting, and rentals) so you know what additional costs you might incur. Give yourself time to work through it all; it can take a few weeks to get information from all your potential venues and vendors and to re-think what kind of wedding you want to have. We recommend figuring out what your wedding would look like at three different price points, or figuring out three ways your wedding could look at the same price point. This is useful in the next step when it's time to...
Talk to your families about their contributions. It's the conversation that no one wants to have but it's absolutely necessary. We recommend telling to them what sort of wedding you're hoping to have and what it will cost based on your research. This is where it's really handy to have three different wedding examples to show them. Then if they say, "There's no way a venue should cost $10,000" you can say, "Well, here's what a $5000 venue looks like...are you OK with it?" (Need more advice on this topic? We have plenty more tips for talking to your parents about the wedding budget!)
Decide if there is anything you won't include in your shared budget. You and your sweetheart may be more comfortable for paying for certain things (like your attire, your hair and makeup, or the gifts for your bridal party) out of your own pocket rather than from your joint wedding savings. You also may find it makes sense to have your parents pay for something specific -- like the photographer, for example -- rather than just giving you cash. If that's the case, you may want to remove those items from your budget so you can just focus on how much cash you as a couple will have/need to have for the wedding.
Make your actual wedding budget. Create a spreadsheet and enter all the aspects of a wedding you plan to include, followed by your estimated allocations for each. Under each main category, list all the items that are included in that budget and give each a dollar amount. Then add a line for miscellaneous & fees and give yourself $100-$500 in each category to account for unforeseen costs. This step will involve a lot of adjustment as you realize you'll either need to find extra money or reduce what you had hoped to spend on certain items, and you may have to revisit it several times during your planning process.
Once you've created your spreadsheet, you can officially say you have a wedding budget! From there, determine how exactly you'll pay and whether or not you need a monthly savings plan, and then start booking vendors and making deposits.
Feeling overwhelmed? Yeah, we feel you. Our best advice is to remember that your wedding budget and major wedding decisions will likely be a moving target for a few weeks. While the order listed above may work for you, it may also make more sense to do things in a different order, or to re-do some of these steps a few times. Keep in mind that having to re-think your original vision is totally normal, and that you will get through it and be well on your way to planning a wedding that you and your sweetheart both adore.

Important considerations for ACER ASPIRE XC-603G drivers :
You are responsible for the correct procedure for your installation. The consequences of a bad installation can be serious and johnsondrivers.com is not responsible for this. To know the latest products of the brand, go to the ACER site. Your anti-virus must check all your driver's data during installation of the latter, so never disable it during this operation. To know whether you have to intervene on your computer during installation of your driver, read the manual. The majority of following drivers are for computers fitted with the WINDOWS operating system. This system was developed by MICROSOFT and has existed since 1995. There have been 13 versions. Behind the esthetics of the Windows operating system, hides a heart system which manages hard drives and access backed up on them. Until the Millenium version, this heart was called MS-DOS and dated from 1980. The basis of the system using windows that open one on top of the other to display information on a computer was thought up by XEROX. Macs had been using it for 5 years when Windows launched Windows 3.1 that uses the same system. The operating system Windows NT was developed for 6 years with IBM. It is the first time that Microsoft didn't use MS-DOS because the system was too limiting in terms of drive access. The new system is multi-user. After Windows NT, Microsoft, who have still kept the NT core in their system, created Windows 2000 which followed on from XP, then Vista and finally Seven. NTFS, a system of files specific to Windows NT doesn't result from MS-DOS. However drives can be formatted in FAT32 with all the following systems, that still result from MS-DOS. The latest new thing for NT operating systems : the service pack. Microsoft regularly offers service additions to its system by publishing up-dates in service packs. They considerably affect the performance of computers. Pay special attention to your service pack version, to formatting your hard drive and as well as, of course, your Windows version before installing a driver for your ASPIRE XC-603G.
Sometimes several installation have to be attempted if you bought your ASPIRE XC-603G a long time ago, as the files are recent. The latest driver isn't always the most adapted, it can notably contain some unidentified bugs. First of all it is necessary to install the driver that dates from the same period as your ASPIRE XC-603G. Then, if you think that the performance of your ASPIRE XC-603G could be better, install a more recent driver. The size of the drivers for the device in question is very large. Take care as the large size of the files to be downloaded may mean that, even with broadband, downloading may crash. It is not a recommended to download files using a wireless operator as it is very costly and doesn't guarantee success. Download from your home or your office. If you have a large hard drive, we advise you to backup your files on it. If not, save the URL of this page in your bookmarks. We have detected that some files in this list are applications and not drivers. But sometimes the automatic detection process fails, it is better therefore to trust the description or file name. Applications software is not a driver. You interact with it, you use it (like a word processing programme for example). It doesn't dialogue with a peripheral device. It is above all an interface between you and your computer. In some cases applications include the driver, but more commonly, it is necessary to install a driver in order to use the application.

Homebuilder Shares Slide As Analyst Cuts Estimates
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ Shares of U.S. homebuilders slid Monday after an analyst cut his estimates on several companies and said most in the industry won't turn a small profit until late 2011.
Deutsche Bank analyst Nishu Sood said he expects the housing market to remain weak as benefits from a federal tax credit disappear, unemployment continues to rise and the housing supply grows on a jump in foreclosures. Mortgage rates will also rise when the Federal Reserve stops buying mortgage-backed securities, he said.
To prop up the housing market and help the economy recover from the worst recession since the 1930s, the Federal Reserve has been engaged in an extraordinary level of support, spending $1.25 trillion on mortgage-backed securities, which has driven down rates on home loans.
Sood lowered his earnings estimates for Toll Bros., Ryland Group Inc., Meritage Homes Corp., Lennar Corp., Hovnanian Enterprises Inc., DR Horton Inc. and Pulte Homes Inc., maintaining their ratings at "Hold." He also initiated coverage for KB Home at "Hold" and MDC Holdings Inc. at "Buy."Sood boosted his price target for Ryland to $22 from $20 and set a new price target of $3 for Hovnanian, saying they are the only builders with a lower default rate. He also raised Pulte's price target to $11 from $10 on its takeover of rival Centex Corp. in August.

Alongside today's announcement of the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung also used the occasion to announce that they intend to break into the nascent VR headset market with their own device. Dubbed the Gear VR, Samsung is making a very different and very smartphone-centric take on the VR headset concept. For that reason the fact that this device was announced at the same time as the Note 4 was no mistake or even a convenience. Instead the Gear VR is functionally a peripheral for the Note 4; the Note 4 itself is the heart of the device, and the Gear VR is the harness to utilize the Note 4 as a VR headset. The idea of using a phone or phablet as the basis of a...

Proof once again that I read WAAAAY too many comics...
I caught this article from The Guardian that an author by the name of Raj Patel recently appeared on The Colbert Report touting his new book. Apparently, this shed some light on him and his background that happened to coincide with some prophecies of 87-year-old Scottish mystic Benjamin Creme. Creme's followers started hailing Patel as "Maitreya" -- their messiah.
And while reading the whole article, I couldn't help but think: "But... but... Raj Patel is a ficitional character in Archie comics!"
Yup. I read WAAAAAY too many comics.

Turntable glass tray is bigger than our old countertop microwave, and now we have more counter space for other kitchen gadgets because it takes up less space when we put it in a corner location. Touch pad is REALLY easy to use, quick touch response.... Plus it looks like the face of a cute japanese robot. :) At first I was afraid of the wattage amount but it's perfect for the heating area. For 750 watts, typical cook times are better than expected.

I bought this product pecause it has a popcorn button. It did not state in the description that the popcorn button is only for individual bags of popcorn, and it is not recommended to make a large bag due to the size of the microwave. Would have been nice to know this up front. Once you learn to use the controls they are ok, but without the instruction manual, it is impossible to learn on your own.

About Me Casual Cook
Comments about Whirlpool White Countertop Microwave Oven:
I can't believe it took this long to come with this shape in a microwave. It makes use of a corner of my kitchen that was a catch all for stuff, and was hard to reach--while simultaneously freeing up about six square feet of counter space in another part of the kitchen. This microwave is plenty big enough to hold a regular size dinner plate with a standard plastic cover, as well a standard size coffee mug. I am thrilled with this microwave!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Perfect size microwave for small spaces!
By Weedin
from Lake City, MI, United States
I purchased this microwave after living without one for 5 months. I had moved to a smaller home with a tiny kitchen, so I decided that I could live without a microwave in order to have more cabinet space. Well, I finally realized how miserable life is without a microwave and I went in search of a compact one. I have been delighted with this purchase and the minimal counter space it uses, along with the rounded back that nicely fits into a corner. It is just the right size for a dnner plate, but not anything bigger. I highly recommend it!
Love this microwave
By janetemerald

This microwave is perfect in my kitchen because it fits in the corner perfectly. It is amazing how much space is saved because it is configured to fit in the corner!
Tremendous little Microwave!
By Archiguitarchi
from Alabama, United States
I bought this microwave for several reasons, the most important being that, because of its round back, it would fit in the corner of my countertop. Yes, I paid more for it than others this size, but I regained a couple of square feet of counter space, space that is pretty nice to have on holidays when the entire clan is here! No other company makes a microwave in this configuration. It cooks as well as the 1,500 watt unit it replaced and the controls are intuitive. A large dinner plate fits the turntable. This was an important issue as well. Of course, "brand" is important. I trust two appliance manufacturers, and Whirlpool is one of them. I could not be happier with this little microwave.
Great Microwave for space saving.

By Tere C
from Miami, FL, United States
I was so impressed with my whirlpool countertop microwave! I bought a little townhouse for myself, a one bedroom, one bikeroom place with 1070 sq ft. The kitchen was small and I needed something small and reliable. This thing was perfect! It's small, but my dinner plate fifits perfectly inside. It cooks reliably and thoroughly. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with it if I tried.
Perfect size!
By BK718
from Brooklyn NY
Comments about Whirlpool Silver Countertop Microwave Oven:
I needed a small microwave for my renovated kitchen and didn't want to take up too much counter space. I have an "L" shaped counter with an unused corner. The shape of this microwave fits in the corner perfectly and takes up much less room than a regular microwave. It is very compact, but a dinner plate fits perfectly. Since I only use it to reheat leftovers and cook frozen vegetables it's size and wattage are perfect.
Perfect microwave for a small kitchen!
By JMacLean
from New York, NY, United States
I was a little unsure about this microwave since it's a bit different. I haven't had a microwave in over 8 years. It's time. I did research. I read reviews. I'm really happy with this one. It fits a dinner plate without issue. I've used it to defrost. I've used it to reheat. Works perfectly and has such a small footprint. I don't feel like I'm compromising counter space. Controls are easy. Who uses all those extra functions. This microwave looks good, it works - what more do you need?
Small but fits full sized dinner. Works great!
By Bettiepinup
from Portland, OR, United States
Small adorable cute. Doesnt take up too much space. Works GREAT with heating. Fits full sized dinner plate. I am glad I made this purchase, its just what i wanted. I dont use a microwave very often.

Over 3 million books sold so far! On the verge of losing her candy store, Callie Moore decides to blot out her troubles with a tall, dark, handsome stranger. Derek McNear isn't about to turn down a cute, curvy woman at his best friend's wedding reception. But the next day, when Callie discovers that Derek is the consultant she has hired to save her store, they find it difficult to concentrate on business... CANDY STORE EXCERPT: Callie heard a noise in the hall and looked up through the thick, frosted glass of the commercial refrigerator. A tall man in a tux was standing just outside the door. She tried to push herself back further into the shelves, hoping that her dark pink dress would help her to blend in with the crates of supplies. Maybe if she didn't move, didn't make a sound, didn't even breathe, she could be left in peace with her memory of the taste of his skin and the beating of his heart on her lips. Callie had spent the past ten minutes rubbing the goose bumps on her arms and trying to convince herself that she had had enough of Derek. But now that he was standing only feet from her—somehow she had known all along that he would find her and now he had—it was all she could do not to fling the door open, pull him inside the cramped space with her, and rip his clothes off. At the same time, an annoying inner voice of reason was telling Callie there was no point to giving in to her baser needs. One night of mind-blowing sex wasn't going to help anything. It wasn't going to save her business. And it wasn't going to save her pathetic love life. Although, she thought with a small upturn of her lips, it was guaranteed to be fun. The doorknob turned and in the dim light of the refrigerator, Derek's warm voice wrapped around her. "I thought I might find you in here." Callie was both alarmed and aroused by his presence, by the way he filled up the room with his essence. The crazy mix of feelings made it hard for her to speak. Again. "I, uh…" she said as he stepped into the refrigerated space with her. He closed the door behind him with a soft but definite click, never once taking his eyes from her. His voice laced with humor, he said, "There's no lock, but at least it's private. We'll just have to hope no one needs any milk." "Actually, I was looking for the milk, for, um, coffee for the reception." Picking up a carton of milk, she said, "So now that I've found it, I…" Derek took a step towards her and Callie, who felt as if she was the lioness being hunted by a needy lion, dropped the carton of milk on the floor. It broke open and spilled onto her shoes, but she hardly noticed the wet splash of milk. All she could feel was his heat, as if he was drawing him to her via some sort of sexual infrared. She could try all day, all week, all year, to tell herself she didn't want what he was offering her. But it would never stop being a lie. Because she did need it. Because she did need him. Desperately. He pinned her against the shelves with one arm on either side of her. "You weren't looking for milk," he said, his voice husky, a breath away from her lips. "You were looking for this." And then he kissed her. * * * More bestselling contemporary romances from Bella Andre...

UAL: Ted Better Off Dead
CHARLOTTE, N.C -- Give Ted credit. Most likely it was doomed from the time it began flying in 2004, yet it lasted far longer than expected.
United Airlines, a unit of UAL (symbol), said Wednesday it will close Ted, a low-fare airline within an airline, in 2009 and reconfigure its 56 A320 aircraft with first-class seats. Ted serves leisure destinations from Denver and other United hubs.
Oddly, Ted started after a series of similar experiments in the airline industry had failed.
"There were many examples preceding Ted where split-personality airlines simply didn't work," says aviation consultant Scott Hamilton. "Despite this history, UAL management thought they had a better mousetrap."Like its predecessors, Ted represented a legacy carrier's effort to mimic Southwest (LUV) and other low-cost competitors by starting a unit with lower fares, lower costs, all-coach seating and quicker turns. In every case, it turned out to be impossible to strip out enough of the costs from the legacy model to compete effectively with low-fare carriers. One indication of this syndrome was that the legacy carriers almost invariably refused to break out financial results for their low-fare operations. To be sure, Ted was part of a second round of experimentation, along with Song by Delta (DAL). The first round generally involved older aircraft and uninspired marketing, while Song and Ted focused on a hip image and occasional amenities. Ted even used relatively new A320 aircraft. Nevertheless, the basic problem did not go away, and most experts were sour on Ted from the start. "When it started, I said that in five years it would be a footnote in the financial statement," says aviation consultant Robert Mann. "It may have taken a little longer, but the result was the same.

OS X Lion hits Golden Master status, seeded to devs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, PC / Laptop, Software
Apple has just released the golden master version of OS X Lion to Mac developers. We already know that the final, public release of Lion will be coming on July 14th, so it makes sense that Apple would be ready to give the stamp of approval on today's release, as golden master means that , barring any glaring oversight, that this is the final version that customers will be able to purchase in the Mac App Store for $29.99. The build number on the release is 11A511, and Mac devs, you can download it now.
OS X Lion Developer Preview 4 update now available
Hot on the heels of the release of OS X Lion Developer Preview 4 at WWDC 2011, Apple has already released the next update to the Lion build. No details yet on the fixes/additions/improvements in this one, but if you are running the latest OS X 10.7 Preview, you can find this update waiting for you in Software Update. Go ahead and run it, and if you find anything interesting, do let us know, mmkay?
Windows 8 reinvents Windows interface by bringing in Windows Phone 7 shell
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, Software, Videos
Microsoft finally figured out how to effectively bring full-blown Windows to tablets: make it look a lot like Windows Phone 7.
In the first public unveiling of the upcoming Windows 8 interface, Microsoft's president of Windows, Steven Sinofsky, showed off a radically altered Windows start screen that features user-configurable tiles and looks almost nothing like Windows 7. The demo took place during this week's D9 conference in southern California.
The new interface supports gestures, snap, pin, cloud apps, new concepts like a basket for files you'll want to share between apps and services, and a hidden task bar on the right side of the screen. The updated OS is designed to work on "the hundreds of millions of PCs already out in the market," Sinofsky said.
Since it's still Windows, all devices and apps that work with Windows 7 will run on Windows 8, said Sinofsky, adding that consumers will only have to choose which device to run it on. "The interface scales from about 7-inches to a wall-screen display," explained Sinofsky.
In addition to the development screen, Microsoft showed Windows 8 running on tablets from Samsung and Lenovo.

Microsoft bringing the ribbon to Windows 8 Explorer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Rumors, Software
Perhaps people are overloaded on Apple rumors because the rumor mill has shifted to Microsoft and its next operating system, now referred to in the blogosphere as Windows 8.
The latest rumor is that Windows 8 will incorporate the "ribbon" interface with Windows Explorer. The feature - which put more functionality front-and-center rather than hidden behind drop-down menus - was first incorporated into Office 2007. With the release of Windows 7, it was also added to Paint and WordPad. A version of the "ribbon" interface is also included in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
According to Within Windows, Microsoft is thinking about adding the ribbon to Windows Explorer in the next iteration of the OS, but nothing is set in stone.
"In early builds of Windows 8, this Ribbon UI is only half-finished and, frankly, of dubious value," the blog wrote. "In fact, based on the divergent ways in which various related UI elements are repeated around the window frame, we get the idea that the use of the Ribbon in Explorer is, in fact, quite controversial inside the halls of Microsoft's Redmond campus."

Apple releases Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2
Apple has just released Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2 to members of the Mac Dev Program. You'll need to run a software update on the first preview of Lion to prepare for the update, reboot your system, then grab a download token from the Dev Center to use in the Mac App Store to get the 3.7 GB download to update. I know, that's a lot of steps, but you get a completely overhauled iCal UI and unified contacts window in iChat for your troubles, among other things.
Mac OS X Lion: A look at the Developer Preview
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Software
Today I was given a sneak peak at the current state of OS X Lion. It's now looking smoother, though it's still a work in progress.
A few nifty features have arrived since my first viewing of the nascent operating system. As has been mentioned, Lion borrows a lot from iOS, but don't forget that iOS started out as a whittled down version of Mac OS X, so the tides have turned.
Never-before seen features announced today include AirDrop, a wireless file-sharing utility; a redesigned Mail app; Resume, which presents the OS and Apps in the exact state at shutdown; Versions, which allows app developers to implement a feature that saves multiple snapshots of any document being worked on; and AutoSave, which does what its name suggests, saving documents automatically.
Apple also announced today that FaceTime for Mac is no longer beta, and is available in the Mac App Store for $0.99.
I also got a closer look at some of OS X Lion's major new interface tools: LaunchPad, Mission Control, and multitouch support, which works across the other two. Before delving into the previously unknown features, I'll share some impressions of these, which will change the way we interact with our Macs in significant ways.

Apple releases Developer Preview of Mac OS X Lion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Software
Inspired by the success of its iPad tablet, Apple is transferring ideas from that platform to its next full-scale desktop operating system, Mac OS X Lion, where they make sense. Among these are the Launchpad view of all installed app icons, a full-screen view for apps, and multi-touch gesture support. Apple has said that the new OS, which is the eighth major release of OS X, will arrive this summer, but today the company made a preview version available to developers.
The update also introduces some new concepts for navigating applications and OS features. Mission Control is probably the most radical, all-encompassing of these. Combining features of Exposé, Dashboard, Spaces, and full-screen apps, Mission Control is just what it sounds like, a place to quickly access all running applications, workspaces, and gadgets.
"The iPad has inspired a new generation of innovative features in Lion," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Developers are going to love Mission Control and Launchpad, and can now start adding great new Lion features like full screen, gestures, Versions and Auto Save to their own apps."
Launchpad looks and works very similarly to the iPhone and iPad's home screen—a grid of icons for every app installed. Users will be able to reorder and group the app icons into folders, and multiple pages of icons will be accessible with a swipe, just as on the smaller iDevices.

Gmail founder predicts Chrome OS is doomed
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Google, Software
Last night Paul Buchheit, the former Google employee who created Gmail, tweeted his rather bold prediction that Chome OS was doomed:
"Prediction: ChromeOS will be killed next year (or "merged" with Android)"
He then added on the FriendFeed thread that Chrome OS has "no purpose that isn't better served by Android" and asking "is this too obvious to even state?" As Google started to ship CR-48 preview devices, with tech blogs reviewing them endlessly, people found themselves in front of a new type of system, one that provides much less than Android, or any other OS has provided before. Google is hoping that the web is all that many people need, and targeting Chrome OS at them. But as people started to plug in devices and finding that they don't work, being unable to do simple things like save photos from their digital cameras locally, or write a document without having to be online, it seems that the company still has a long way to go to convince people that Chrome OS is a good idea, for any market.

Google talks about Chrome OS
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Corporate News, Google, Software
Google already has a browser, Chrome, and a touch-based operating system in Android. Yet, the company has been touting it's upcoming Chrome OS, a system to be run on low powered devices, which will be a complete cloud OS, with no local storage or apps. The New York Times talks with Sundar Pichai, Google's VP, about some of the ideas behind the new OS. The vision is a computer that starts in seconds, not minutes. The system basically runs a browser, and everything is accessed through the web. Whether it's email with Gmail, productivity with Google Docs, or any of the myriad of online products that the giant offers. While the OS will start with netbooks, Google now sees Chrome OS expanding to tablets, laptops and TVs.
It's worth remembering however that the cloud can fail, and that an OS that is completely web centric is of no use when the Internet connection goes down. With the two Google systems, Chrome OS and Android, likely to clash in the future, it's hard to see how compelling the cloud-only option will be.

A fighting century by Shishir Bhavane (105, 125b,11×4, 3×6) went in vain as the Colts were bundled out for 228 in their second innings as Haryana coasted to a comfortable victory.
In the other semi-finals, the NCA made light of the target to score 196 for two in their chase to ease past President's XI whose second innings effort of 423 made no impact as Chirag Khurana (66 not out) and Anikit Bhavne (75 not out) carried the Academy to victory.

Haryana CA 405 & 228 (Rahul Dalal 40, Jayant Yadav 35, Kuldeep Hooda 50; Prasidh Krishna 2 for 54, Gowtham K 5 for 107, J Suchith 2 for 49) beat KSCA Colts 246 and 228 in 48.4 overs (Shishir Bhavane 105, Suchith J 37; Yuzvendra Chahal 3 for 30, Jayanat Yadav 2 for 69, Sachin Rana 2 for 19) by 170 runs.
