What is Mix It Up?
It may be the simplest nutrition program ever — no calorie counting, no fat gram tabulating, no weighing or measuring. Just easy-to-remember daily selections of colorful produce — more than 120 to choose from! A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is exceptionally healthy.

How does it work?
Your goal is to eat at least five servings of produce each day, with a minimum of three vegetables — in red, orange, yellow/white, green, and blue/violet. By spreading daily choices across the rainbow of colors, you're guaranteed the best produce has to offer — vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals — for better health.
Who can participate?
Mix It Up is all about healthy eating patterns anyone can adopt. It shows you how to improve your overall health through colorful selections of vivid vegetables and fabulous fruits. You'll be surprised how easy it is to put produce first. You can participate on an individual basis or part of a team.

Joint Study Challenges Marketers to Act Responsibly In order to Grow Consumer Trust and Boost Revenue
New York, NY, July 18, 2013 — The Direct Marketing Association (DMA), in partnership with Winterberry Group, today announced the release of a new white paper, showing that good data stewardship doesn't just mitigate risk, but can also boost bottom lines. "The New Rules of the Road: Marketing Data Governance in the Era of "Big Data" explores the current state, and future evolution, of marketing data governance strategies that enterprises are using to foster consumer trust and build business success.
"To put it simply, proper data stewardship is a business imperative," said DMA President and CEO Linda A. Woolley. "Marketers have traditionally thought of data stewardship only in terms of risk-management. But they now have the opportunity to make it part of their business growth strategy. After all, consumer trust is directly connected to successful business relationships — and in the end, that trust drives the bottom line."
Key findings include:
"Marketers have long equated the concept of 'data governance' with a pair of priorities—'privacy and security'—that represent two of the most substantial hurdles for doing business in an information-driven economy," said Rich Walker, managing director at Winterberry Group. "As data plays a more fundamental role in driving customer engagement across channels, though, our research revealed that a new imperative is emerging: Manage information as a strategic asset, responsive to the needs of customers, marketers and other stakeholders. That's driving many to reassess the role of 'governance,' with an eye on managing, safeguarding and optimizing the contribution of data across the enterprise."
The paper outlines five key actions that marketers should undertake as they build a strategic data governance capability:

DMA and Winterberry will also present a webinar on the results of the study on August 19, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. For more information, and to register, please click here.

Okay. My horse is growing out that nice fluffy winter coat now. Woohoo lol. He'll be getting his clip in febuary or march I think..which is better?. So I want to know what you guys reccomend for supplements? I want a few things over the winter,
I want a hoof and Coat supplement, He has beautiful feet, ill post some pics after thursday's trim lol. But I want his coat to get really healthy over the winter. It gets very dull over the winter. At least it used to last year (but back then he wasnt mine and he was emaciated =( ) So now that he's with me and healthy, I want him on a nice supplement. I use hoof oils and whatnot so maybe just a coat supplement would do for that
Okay and the other important thing...maybe a muscle supplement? He just had his grain doubled, which is good because he wasnt gaining any weight for winter and he seemed a little skinny actually. He's clearly gained a bit and looks much better, so we'll keep it doubled during winter. But I want to get him on something to help him develope good muscle. He's been working very hard as much as I can with him. But I think a supplement would be just the boost of help he needs. Plus that might really help with his topline! Now i've heard of muscle supplements that like...aid in flexibility? But I've never seen one, or do they all do that?
Maybe they make muscle and coat supplement combined? IDK if I wanna use like an overall supplement though it seems too general and he's def healthy.
So what do you guys think? Any LINKS? What do you guys use? What works? What doesnt? Post all urs on here =D

It's been a couple weeks since I updated the series on starting a nursery business and since yesterday was my first sales date at a farmer's market I thought today would be a good opportunity to talk about that experience. Going to the market is pretty much an all day affair. It takes time to pick the best looking plants to bring, load them, and if you haven't already done so labeling them.
To set up it takes about 30 minutes once I make it to the market. I have a 10'x10' tent that I set up but there are so many trees where we are that additional shade is not necessary. I think having the tent up gives my business a more established and professional look. I usually bring one folding table but I may have to bring a second one next week. Plants that are off the ground are closer to and easier for the customer to examine. I also bring as much as I can knowing that most of it won't sell. Having a full display is important because of the impression it makes with the customers. It looks more established and they can choose from a variety of plants.
The most important thing with a farmer's market business is to know your product. Most of what I sell I have grown and can explain exactly how they taste and how to grow them. When I have a plant that is new to me as is the case with some varieties tomato plants I'm upfront and tell the customers that this one is new to me as well. Honesty is extremely important. You're not just making a sale you are making a relationship. The respect you show your customers will be returned to you many times over.
The first two hours of the market I had a constant flow of people at my booth to talk to which was fantastic! The time flew by quickly as I talked to customers about the plants, how to plant them, and what the varieties were. If I didn't have what they were looking for I inquired about it so that I could add that to my list of plants to bring or grow.
What were the results? I had my best market day ever. It went extremely well for my small business but the plant sales will only be a seasonal thing. Once the weather gets hot this summer people will be want vegetables and not vegetable plants. Ornamentals do not sell as well as edible plants at a farmer's market. All of the plants I sold yesterday were herbs or heirloom vegetable plants. I brought Japanese maples, hostas, heuchera, redbud, daylilies, and several other plants but none of them sold. However the ornamental plants did bring people to my space. They came and looked at the Japanese maples and hostas which filled out my booth area and brought them to the heirloom vegetables and herbs.
I hope that this post is helpful to you if you are thinking about a farmer's market business of any kind. Have a good display, talk to your customers, and build a relationship with them and your business will be successful!

Facebook friend was long-lost mum
Posted: March 31, 2014|
A delighted mum has been reunited with her daughter after almost 20 years apart after she recognised they looked alike in a photograph on Facebook.
Sarah Mowbray, 41, only found daughter Kayleigh Marie Watts, 22, because her profile photograph was the spitting image of her at the same age.
Incredibly, she did not know her surname, where she lived or what she looked like and the uncanny picture was the only link she could make.
The full-time carer had simply typed in 'Kayleigh Marie' into a Facebook search bringing up hundreds of results from across the globe.
But it wasn't until she scrolled down and saw a striking likeness of herself as young woman staring back up at her that she thought she might have struck gold.
She sent a friend request and got chatting to Kayleigh via the social networking site in November last year.
And within a few days of talking online delighted Sarah received one message simply stating: "Mum!"
Last week the mother and daughter met each other for the first time since 1995 – just in time for Mother's Day.
Sarah, from Malvern, Worcestershire, said she never gave up hope of finding her daughter one day despite drawing a blank for almost two decades.
She said: "I'm over the moon to have my daughter back in my arms. I now can hopefully be the mum I always wanted to be. I didn't know her surname so I typed in the name Kayleigh Marie and hundreds of people came up as results. I thought there's no chance of finding her here.
"But I kept going through and eventually one person came up who looked a spitting image of me when I was younger.
"I sent her a friend request and didn't really think anymore of it after that because it was such a long shot.
"But the following morning she accepted my friend request and we started chatting over Facebook.
"I told her I was missing my daughter and wanted to find her and before I knew it I got a message back from her just saying: "Hi mum."
"We had been searching for each other but were putting in the wrong names. I never forgot her. I was devastated when I had to give her up. I never wanted to let her go but I knew deep down I would see her again."
Social workers had decided Kayleigh would be better off with foster carers when she was just two-years-old after Sarah struggled to cope as a teenage mother.
Kayleigh, a care worker, from Throckmorton near Evesham in Worcestershire, said she always wondered about her biological mother and was delighted when she finally got to meet her. She also found out she had a half-brother Daniel, 17, and is now enjoying regularly catching up with her new-found family.
She said: "It has been very emotional, it's taken me six months to pluck up the courage to meet her."

Needless to say, the gallows humor that is a hallmark of my former profession has lost much of its luster.
By yesterday, he had reopened the sites for his users to resume the snarky, anonymous barbs that are the company's hallmark.
This is the hallmark of traditional Arab dictatorships of every variety.
In MS, the amount and quality of myelin is abnormal, replaced by "sclerotic" plaques, the hallmark of the disease.
They apparently took that as a sign of suspicious activity, even though that can be a hallmark of people on the autism spectrum.
This tendency to detail, which is the hallmark of realism, constitutes decline.
Only the identity of the maker is revealed by the hallmark on American silver.
It was, at all events, the demeanor popularly supposed to be the hallmark of the duchess.
What (p. 310)they meant was that it was unconventional, was without the dignity of tradition to give it its hallmark.
Within, on either side, was a partition, and there was a silver clasp on which the hallmark was English.

Jacksonville, IL -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team kept coming but just couldn't break through in a 75-64 loss at Illinois College on Saturday.
The Bucs trailed 10-7 five minutes into the game but a 7-0 run by IC pushed the deficit to ten at 17-7 with 12:51 left. Beloit pulled back to within seven but the Blueboys put together an 11-3 spurt to go up 34-19 at the 1:42 mark. Illinois College led 37-24 at the break.
The Buccaneers traded baskets through the first eight minutes of the second half until IC pushed their lead to 53-38 midway through. Beloit slowly chipped away at the lead and got as close as seven with 1:43 left but the Blueboys hit six free throws in the final 1:28 while the Bucs went cold to seal the win.

Southeastern has seen plenty of close games over the past five days. It wasn't pretty, but the Panthers finally got on the right side of a close game with Tuesday's three point victory over visiting Paint Valley.
"The big thing for us was we were able to get 56 shots off," said Southeastern coach Kyle Uhrig, though his team only shot 29 percent from the field. "It wasn't our best effort, but the kids found a way to win. You have to like it when you can scrap out a win, especially in our league. That's a testament to the kids that even when things go bad we can still get it done."
Nick Kellough led the Panthers (3-4, 2-3)with 19 points, while adding 7 rebounds. Austic Hice added nine points and nine rebounds, while Dylan Miles finished with 11 points and five assists.
For Paint Valley (2-5, 0-5) Clay Statton and Cody Bryan each had 13 points.
Southeastern will host River Valley on Friday, while Paint Valley will travel to Vinton County on Saturday.

Gopakumar, G and Sarma, P S Sadasiva (1989) Present status of coastal tuna fishery at Vizhinjam, Trivandrum coast. Marine Fisheries Information Service, Technical and Extension Series, 97 . pp. 1-7.
|PDF - Published Version
The coastal tuna fishery of Kerala, which has been yielding about 6,000 tonnes annually in recent years, constitutes 32% of the total tuna landings of the country. A district-wise analysis of the tuna production during 1979-'81 indicated that 70% of the total tuna landings in the state was from the coasital fishery along Trivandrum district. At Vizhinjam, where fishing goes on all through the year, coastal tunas constitute a major pelagic fish resource accounting for 20% of the total marine fish landings. Since the prime requirement of tuna fishery developmsnt in the area seems to be the improvement of the existing small-scale fishery sector, knowledge on the present status of the fishery appears to be a basic necessity for the planning of further development in this sector. In addition, when the fishery harbour under construction at Vizhinjam becomes operational, mechanised fishing for tunas is bound to increase in the area and this also requires information on the catch trend and seasons of abundance of various species for the management of fishing fleet.

US-ENTERTAINMENT Summary
Oct 3, 2011, 1:58 a.m.
Gene Simmons, Shannon Tweed tie the knot
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and his girlfriend of 28 years, the actress and former Playmate Shannon Tweed, were married this weekend before 400 guests. The outdoor evening ceremony on Saturday at the Beverly Hills Hotel is the latest celebrity nuptials to have a second life as a television event. It is scheduled for an October 18 episode as part of the new season of A&E's "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," a reality series that has chronicled the pair's unconventional relationship since 2006.
Michael Jackson fans stay faithful at trial
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Their faith has been tested many times, but Michael Jackson's fans have always supported the "Thriller" singer. That remains true at the trial of his former doctor who is accused in the superstar's death. Outside the Los Angeles courthouse where Dr. Conrad Murray faces a manslaughter charge, the fans do not number as many as they did at the singer's 2005 child molestation trial. But his supporters are just as colorful and no less passionate.
Actor Jeff Conaway's death ruled accidental
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Autopsy results show that Jeff Conaway, the star of "Taxi" and "Grease" who struggled with addiction before his death in May, died from multiple causes including a major internal infection. In ruling the actor's death accidental in a report released on Friday, the Los Angeles County coroner specified a number of contributing factors, among them septic emboli, aortic valve endocarditis, coronary artery disease, pneumonia and encephalopathy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ask the Diabetes Team
Q. I'm 15, and the last time I was home sick with strep throat I didn't feel like eating, so I slept in until about noon. I didn't take my insulin in the morning because I figured since I wasn't eating that was the best thing to do. By 5 o'clock when my mom got home, I started vomiting, and she ended up taking me to the Emergency Room. What happened that I got so sick so quickly?
Home Sick
A. Dear Home Sick:
The first thing you should do when you are not feeling well is to test your urine for ketones, test your blood sugar and call the Diabetes Center to speak to the doctor or nurse on call. They will help you decide how much insulin you need to take. Your body needs insulin to function, so even though you did not feel like eating we could have guided you on a dose of insulin that may have been better for you. When your body is under stress; physical or emotional, it often needs extra insulin to help healing. When you don't feel like eating, it is very important for a person with diabetes to drink a lot of fluids to prevent dehydration. Sometimes you need fluids with sugar, like juice or regular soda, and other times you need sugar-free fluids like water. When you are home sick, you need to talk to your diabetes team many times throughout the day to make sure you are getting enough insulin and fluids to help prevent you from having to go to the hospital. Your vomiting could have been from ketones your body made because you didn't take any insulin. Ketones are like poison to the body, so your body will try to get rid of them either through your urine or by vomiting. Ketones and high blood sugar make it easy for you to become dehydrated.
So next time you are not feeling well, please call for some help, and we'll do our best to help you get better without a trip the Emergency Room.
Q. When I was in diabetes clinic, my doctor told my mom to test my blood at midnight and 3 a.m. a couple times before our next visit. Why would you do that to me?
Tired and Needing Sleep
A. Dear Tired:
Midnight and 3 a.m. blood sugars should be done at least once a week to help our diabetes team determine how best to adjust your insulin. Whether you get your NPH insulin at dinner or bedtime, we need to see if it is effective in keeping your blood sugars in your goal range throughout the night. If you eat a bedtime snack, we may ask you to test at midnight. That reading lets us know if you need some Humalog or regular insulin with your bedtime injection to keep your blood sugar from going too high.
Midnight and 3 a.m. tests should also be done on nights when your pre-bedtime snack blood sugar is under 80. This can help to prevent a severe low blood sugar reaction during the night.
The midnight and 3 a.m. readings can also help us if you are having sugar in your urine in the morning. By improving your blood sugars overnight there is less stress on your kidneys.
So hang in there. We're not trying to make you tired; we want to take the best possible care of you.

The world's indifference to a request for $3.6 billion to preserve a diversity hot spot may push the country to extract oil there, says Kelly Swing.
How much is the world willing to pay to protect a piece of Amazonian Ecuador that is home to the greatest concentration of species on the planet? Ecuador's government has asked for
US$3.6 billion to refrain from developing the region, in the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve, but the reaction of the world suggests that the price is too high. We need to accept that big oil firms are coming to Yasuní, and the struggle now must be how to limit the damage, rather than prevent it.
The effort to save the region mirrors the plot of 2009's blockbuster film Avatar. Yasuní is the set and its ancestral people are the Waorani. The precious commodity beneath their feet is fossil fuel. The region and its people are highly threatened by oil extraction and the collateral damage that such development brings. For most of the past half-century, Ecuador's economy has depended heavily on oil revenue. Oil-field development continues to push into more remote areas to keep the cash flowing. It has already reached into the heart of the Yasuní reserve.

I'm trying to use malquery to find all e-mails sent to either of threee recipients. It looks like malquery processes multiple -e options as ANDed.
e.g. malquery -p 30d -e firstname.lastname@example.com -e email@example.com -e email@example.com

I have heard a couple of techniques on learning how to run:
1 - run for as long as you can period
2 - run/walk/run/walk
I decided to try and run for as long as I can. The first time was 5 mins, second 6 minutes, and last night 10 minutes. Sure it's not a lot, but I'm kind of shocked that I ran 1km on my 3rd day. That's CRAZY!!
Let me be straight here and admit that while I'm running, Seamus is walking fast beside me. Quite a change of pace from his runs with Scott, but I know he's rooting for me. I'm also not interested in pushing myself too much to start as every job I have requires the use of my legs, thus I need to be injury free.
So for those runners out there, what tips do you have? And before you comment with a whack load of apps to use, I am smart phone free!
What warm up/cool down stretches do you use that have helped prevent injury to date?

Social Class in the 21st Century
Mike Savage, Penguin (Pelican Introduction, paperback), 5 Nov 2015
Social class has re-emerged as a topic of enormous scholarly and public attention. In this book, Mike Savage and the team of sociologists behind the BBC's Great British Class Survey - Niall Cunningham, Fiona Devine, Sam Friedman, Daniel Laurison, Lisa Mckenzie, Andrew Miles, Helene Snee and Paul Wakeling - report their definitive findings and propose a new way of thinking about social class in Britain today.
Democratizing Inequalities: dilemmas of the new public participation
Edited by Caroline W. Lee, Michael McQuarrie and Edward T. Walker
Foreword by Craig Calhoun
NYU Press, January 2015
"Democratizing Inequalities is a timely and provocative compilation that demonstrates how participatory practices across a range of expected and unexpected locations cut both ways—opening up avenues for citizen engagement while also limiting the democratic potential assumed to follow... an important resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the democratic possibilities of the 'new public participation.'" —Debra Minkoff, author of Organizing for Equality.
Michael McQuarrie is Associate Professor in Sociology at LSE. Craig Calhoun is Director of LSE.
Getting By: estates, class and culture in austerity Britain
Lisa Mckenzie, Policy Press, January 2015
While the 1% rule, poor neighbourhoods have become the subject of public concern and media scorn, blamed for society's ills. This unique book redresses the balance.
"The stories within this book lay bare what it means to be regarded as inferior and an outcast in your own society. This is a resolutely impressive book written with authenticity and passion." —Mary O'Hara, journalist and author of Austerity Bites.
Lisa Mckenzie is Research Fellow in the Department of Sociology at LSE.
Pressed for Time: the acceleration of life in digital capitalism
Judy Wajcman, University of Chicago Press, December 2014
"Wajcman integrates the voluminous literatures on time use and technology elegantly and concisely, a great service in itself. But, more important, she wisely leads the reader to new questions, more interesting and fruitful than the ones to which we are accustomed, helping us to think in terms not of quantities (of time or stress, of work or leisure) but of the flows and rhythms that we produce as we interact with technology and with one another. This is an essential addition to any bookshelf or syllabus on the social implications of information technology."-- Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University
Judy Wajcman is Anthony Giddens Professor of Sociology at LSE.

VALENCIA, Calif., Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SANGUINE BIOSCIENCES, INC. ("Sanguine"), a biotechnology company empowering patients in biomedical research, has announced the closing of its seed financing round, led by INVENT Ventures and Heliant Ventures.
Sanguine engages research subjects through social media and non-profit advocacy, and schedules blood draws, which are then processed into DNA, RNA, cells, plasma, and serum, to be used as biomedical research materials at pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. The company has developed the infrastructure to provide research subjects with information on how their samples were used, in order to ultimately increase trust and information flow back to researchers.
"Sanguine has experienced significant growth since Q4 2012, both in terms of revenues and number of research subjects. The successful completion of the laboratory and regulatory infrastructure allowed us the opportunity to open our doors to research participants, both healthy, and diagnosed with an ailment(s), and to researchers at numerous pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions.
We plan to use the funds raised in the seed round to further develop our internal infrastructure in order to safely and efficiently collect, process, document, and store up to 1,000 blood samples each month across the west coast. We are looking forward to scaling up and providing researchers with the samples they need to perform their investigations, while also providing patients with the knowledge of how their samples have impacted Personalized Medicine research." – Brian Neman , CEO
"Sanguine is building products and processes that will revolutionize personalized medicine research," said INVENT CEO Bryce Knight . "We are thrilled to support Sanguine and its exceptional team through their growth at the forefront of multiple

Im having a TT in 10 days and I've been having post nasal drip. I'm afraid of getting a cold, can I take zicam 10 days before a TT? The ingredients in Zicam are Zincum Aceticum 2x, Zincum Gluconicum 1x.
TT in 10 Days Can I Take Zicam? Afraid I May Be Getting a Cold.
Doctor Answers 4
Taking Zicam preoperatively
Can I take Zicam before surgery?
Yes, Zicam is a form of zinc which actually aids in immune reaction and healing. You need to beat this cold quickly anyway in order to have the surgery on the scheduled date, with the added benefit of energizing your immune system with the Zicam. Good luck.
Medications Before Surgery
While the medication you are considering is most likely OK, you should always discuss with your plastic surgeon's office if you are thinking about taking any medication, supplement, herbal compound, etc. before your surgery. These are the questions your doctor is happy to address.
Just two days ago, we had to cancel a case because the patient took a medication without reviewing her pre-op "Do's and Don'ts" information or calling our office. Safety first.

Third Age - Total War is a total conversion for 'Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms Expansion' that brings you into the world of Middle-earth.
Dec 3rd, 2010 106 people agree 10 people don't
It's hard not to give this one a 10.
It has almost everything you'd want from a LOTR mod in M2TW, and much more.
The only criticisms that i could give: As for right now, it lacks some really important plot parts from the earlier Third Age.
But Sub-Campaigns for each faction (or some) could definitely help on this subject.
Nov 26th, 2010 64 people agree 4 people don't
One of the best mods to date, and without doubt the most well made mod for M2TW
Dec 26th, 2010 56 people agree 3 people don't
Third Age: Total War is an amazing mod. The vissuals are amazing, the gameplay is balanced and the upcoming custom settlements are just stunning. This mod easily trumps ALL other LOTR rts games and is a mod that any Middle Earth fan should keep their eye on.
Nov 25th, 2010 43 people agree 3 people don't
One of the most indepth mods ive played, well worth purchasing Med2 just for this mod, a must for all LOTR fans
Nov 17th, 2010 50 people agree 8 people don't
This mod is best mod in ModDB!!!
Oct 15th, 2010 44 people agree 7 people don't
awesomest mod ever

Beaches closed days ahead of holiday
Updated: Wednesday, July 24 2013, 10:44 AM EDT
Monroe County, N.Y. – It was a day to enjoy the sand.
"We assumed that the water was going to be closed," said Lori Powers, who was at the beach with her family. "This is purely a sand day."
Heavy rain caused the Durand Eastman Beach to close twice in the last three days. The rains increased bacteria too high to swim safely.
"If we get a really heavy rain or just south of here it gets a lot of heavy rain it all filters through the river and works its way through the streams and into Lake Ontario," said John Picone, Athletics and Aquatics Coordinator for the City of Rochester.
As far as the 4th of July, it's too early to know what the water quality will be, said Picone.
"The 4th is a big day for us," said Picone. "The weather looks like it's going to cooperate. It's supposed to be middle to upper 80s not as much rain later in the week."
Last year Durand Eastman Beach was open for swimming 80-percent of the time.
For daily beach conditions call the Monroe County beach hotline at 585-753-5887.

Halloween traditionally presents rescue centres with an opportunity to feature black cats looking for homes, as it is a curious fact that black-coated animals generally take longer to find homes. Perhaps it is because of our deep-rooted folklore beliefs such as black cats being witches' familiars or black dogs guarding the borders between this world and the next.
I do accept that there are some badly behaved GSDs and Staffies out there and some have been responsible for some serious injuries. But it doesn't mean other breeds are necessarily "safer". It's just that the dog attacks involving Golden Retrievers or Cocker Spaniels don't make the headlines in the same way.
Have you ever thought what you might do with your animals if your home was flooded and your emergency accommodation didn't allow pets? Or if you were stuck without someone to care for your pet if you were suddenly rushed into hospital? No? Me neither until a few months ago - and I work for an animal rescue charity.

Creating personalisation and flexibility in learning
We want to offer our students a distinctive Southampton educational experience, through ambitious, flexible and high quality programmes of study.
Through an innovative approach to our curriculum we are developing opportunities for our students to exercise choice and personalise your learning, if you wish to do so. In February 2011 we introduced a set of new, interdisciplinary modules and enabled more of our students to study a language or take modules from outside of your core disciplines. From September 2013 we took this a step further and eligible students in Humanities and single-honours Social Sciences, Geography, Education, Biology, Zoology and Physics are now able to choose a Minor subject to go alongside their main discipline.
If you are a University of Southampton student, select the student section on the homepage to find out more about the choices available to you and hear from your fellow students about their experiences.
If you are a member of staff at the University, choose the staff section on the homepage to find out more about the choice we are offering to students and how you can get involved.
Watch the video below to hear Dr Peter Smith, University Director of Education, talk about Minors.

Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 1989
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The depth and richness of older Cabernets vary from year to year, but they are often astonishingly intricate yet together wines when fully developed. The 1989 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon is just entering those prime years. It will remain in good form for several more years but there is no need to wait. The blend of 3% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc gives it a balance and dimension that enhance the already great appeal of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "A big, rustic wine, the 1989 Cabernet Sauvignon (bottle #2) hits the palate with masses of dark stone fruits, smoke and spice. The 1989 is intense, carnal and direct, but it doesn't have the complexity or nuance of the better years. In this tasting, it suffers a bit in comparison with some of the more well rounded vintages, but it is compelling if taken on its own."
Mayacamas Vineyards
Mayacamas Vineyards is a wine estate located in the Mayacamas Mountains that divide the Napa and Sonoma valleys. The winery was built in 1889 by John Henry Fisher. The estate was renamed Mayacamas Vineyards in 1941.
Robert and Elinor Travers, Californians both, bought Mayacamas Vineyards in 1968. Bob Travers has created wines of classical, balanced, intense, and deeply authentic character for the more than four decades hence. The roster of former winemakers, assistants, and viticulturalists at Mayacamas runs deep, and today Bob Travers and his son, Chris Travers, continue to specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, with small lots of similarly classically structured Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc also produced. View all Mayacamas Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

The Cambodian Children's Fund (CCF) Food Program has been a tremendous success over the last year. We feed an average of 800 children from the surrounding communities every evening. This number has drastically increased the demands on our staff. In order to accommodate the amount of time, energy and production needed to continue this program, our staff needs a proper kitchen to prepare the food for the kids. Future donations made to this project over $5000 will go to the Child Nutrition Program.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Steung Meanchey is an industrial neighborhood on the southwestern outskirts of Phnom Penh that served as Cambodia's largest trash dump. While in production, thousands of people scoured the dump on a daily basis in search of recyclable materials that could be sold for an average daily income of approximately $0.50. Although the dump was closed in 2009, three thousand families continue to live on the site. These families lack such basic needs as food, water, sanitation, and shelter.
How will this project solve this problem?
Every night kids pour into CCF's Community Center to receive vitamin-enriched bread, food, soup, milk and nutritional supplement drinks to underfed children. Our Community Center also offers fortified bread for families to take home. Currently, there is no kitchen. Food for the 800+ children and their families is prepared in a 3' X 4' space that includes a hot plate, sink, and small counter space. Our proposed kitchen will alleviate the space constraints and allow CCF to feed more people.
Potential Long Term Impact
CCF runs a broad spectrum of fully integrated community services that collectively offer the strongest possible safety net for families in crisis. Every outreach project we develop flows from the realization and acceptance that the 1,500 children in CCF's care have links and roots that need nurturing if they themselves are to fully prosper and grow. Our Kitchen Project will play a large role in expanding a safety net that will allow our students to hone their potential to emerge as leaders.

Mr. West is in the building! Kanye West made that clear last night with his surprise appearance and performance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
Fans never know what to expect from Kanye who offered a surprising rendition of "Bound 2," one of the most popular songs off of his latest album, Yeezus.
What made this performance special besides him being accompanied by Charlie Wilson and The Roots? Well, during this version of "Bound 2," Kanye added a little something extra. He included a small freestyle at the beginning with these lyrics:
"Brandy's little sister lame man he know it now. When a real brother hold you down, you 'sposed to drown."
Yikes! The verse was clearly a straight, no chaser diss directed toward Brandy's younger brother, Ray J, who has previously aimed a few lyrical disses in Kanye's direction. Some would say this was a long time coming and 'Bound 2' happen with all the jabs that Ray J has been making at West.
From Ray J's single, "I Hit It First," in which he brags about sleeping with sex-tape co-star Kim Kardashian, the mother of Kanye's infant daughter, to too many side comments and sly remarks about Kanye, Ray J arguably had this coming! If Ray J wanted attention, Kanye obliged.
It would be no shock if Ray J responded with a reckless tweet or made another inappropriate song.
While the two may be engaging in sidebar beef, they're both still hustling, but in very different ways. Ray J is rumored to be starring in an upcoming "Love & Hip Hop: LA" spin-off. Kanye's Yeezus tour is scheduled to begin on October 19 in Seattle. Tickets go on sale, this Friday, September 13. If history is any indication, fans can expect a few more surprises from Mr. West.
Watch the performance below.

I've been up in that area twice in the last month and a half. I didn't quite make it to Moose Lake this last time, and left a headlamp behind at a camp site. I'm planning to get back out there this weekend for a light and fast dash to recover my headlamp and camp at Moose Lake.I'll be overnighting Friday at the Wolverton trail head and setting out Saturday morning by 7AM. Hiking the trail to the Ranger Station near Pear Lake and then overland to the Table Meadows; over another pass and around the South ridge to Moose Lake by Sat night. Returning by the same route on Sunday. It's about 12 miles one way. Going to be clear and sunny but sub-freezing come nightfall.PM me if yer interested. I can provide logistics, details, etc.-Michael

A really nice shot Paddy. Ive only ever seen Kerry through windscreen wipers, or through the raindrops on a pub window!
Not a whole lot to say. Your settings are good, the light is nice, - interesting sky. It can look better, - actually any scene like this if the horizon is not in the middle, rather on a third, so with this there would be either more sky or more water.
I loaded a mod with more water, less sky, - you can do it the other way too, - or leave it if you like it. The mod is just for example.
I sharpened it a little, - heres a flow to keep in mind when loading to the web:
Original shot>sharpen>resize>save as>adjust compression to get the right file size>save as new file name>OPEN new file>check sharpness>sharpen as needed>save>upload.

Thanks Willie,
Thanks for the Mod and advise on compo. I like your mod "more water" . I will keep that in mind. I was lucky enough to get 2 dry days in Killarney and also a capture of a deer in the mountains which I have posted on photozine previous to this capture.

Hi Paddy,
You need to add a description when uploading to the Critique gallery, it helps us know what you were trying to take etc. Also I wouldn't put a logo in your image when uploading here as the majority of pople are photographers and aren't interested in logos. Having said that, as logos go it is small and out of the way but probably should be in a border rather than on the image.
The image is very moody and the sky is is nice, there is foreground, midground and background interest and the depth of field also looks good. However, The horizon is a bit too central for my liking and there are some overexposed areas of the sky. Overall the image for me is a little flat and could do with some contrast. I also think that a crop from the bottom and right side would bring those rocks right into the foreground and away from being a bit too central and get the horizon back onto the bottom third making it a bit more asthetically pleasing.
I did create a mod where I cropped the bottom and right sides, adjusted the curves, lightened the rocks and removed some yellow that became apparent upon adjustment. I also the sharpened a little.
Hope this helps

Sorry about repeating Willie's comments, we must have been writing them at the same time at least my mod is the opposite with less water

Nice scene Paddy. Some good advice from Willie and Dave. With those rocks I would have tried to separate the two on the right. Also I would clone out tehone breaking the frame on the left. The one next to it is not ideally placed, too far over to the left but I am not sure there is anything you could do about it. Picky I know, but the detail all adds to the shot.
Best wishes

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New census figures show that New Mexico has the fifth-highest proportion of same-sex couples in the nation.
The recently released analysis of 2010 Census figures shows that nearly 10 out of every 1,000 New Mexico households are headed by same-sex couples. That's a 73 percent jump from 2010.
The Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law, based at the University of California, Los Angeles, released the report..
Gary Gates, one of the study's authors, said the jump is likely a result of increased migration to the state and because more couples are identifying as same-sex households.
The report said only Vermont, Massachusetts, California and Oregon had higher proportions of same-sex couples.
