I've been a fan of the Winter Olympics for a long time. I
remember watching them as a youngster on ABC with Jim McKay as the
ringmaster and supreme talents like Peggy Fleming and Jean Claude Killy
showing their skills...but it was 1976 when I really got into it. The
Games were in Innsbruck Austria and I was a freshman at UW-Stevens
Point. Stuck in my dorm room at Watson Hall on a snowy February night
doing homework I had a small black & white tv tuned into the Games
when an Austrian skiier named Franz Klammer forged his name into Olympic
history. I'm not a skier...have only tried it a couple of times...but
even I could sense the edge that Klammer brought to his downhill run. He
was on the brink of falling spectacularly on almost every turn and
jump. He teetered on the edge of skis to get every last bit of speed he
could and ended up winning gold. It was a run that was re-run numerous
times over the years...but right then...it made me a Winter Olympic fan.
I'm not as crusty as Bob Costas who described some of the added sports like snowboarding as "Jackass" style sports but I'm more of a traditionalist...skiing, skating, luge & bobsled and hockey...and alright curling too. Let the games begin and let the stories of some of these great athletes be told. You havent heard of some of these people yet but you will and you will be amazed.

I am looking for some fun stuff for the kids to play with in the bath. I get so picky and grossed out by anything that has holes or squirts for the mildew issue. Also, DS has a problem with wanting to drink the water out of anything that holds water...
...so, nothing that squirts, pours, bubbles or holds water. Sheesh, sounds like a blast huh?
Any ideas?
Maybe the drinking the bath water thing will be over soon, and they can have some containers, spoons, etc again?

Attack of
the Russian Supermodels
There is a common stereotype that Russian women are very
beautiful – unfortunately for us female travelers (or fortunately for male
ones), this is absolutely true. I am not
exaggerating when I say that the streets of Moscow are overflowing with tall,
slim supermodel types. It's enough to
give the most confident of women an inferiority complex. I'm sure Sochi tourists will soon discover
this too when they are done being distracted by the reported "unattractive"
condition of hotel rooms.
To make matters even worse, not only do Russians look like supermodels – they also dress like them! Young women won't step out the door unless their hair and makeup are perfectly done combined with a perfectly matched outfit. It doesn't matter if they are heading to a club or just running to the grocery store – everyone is stylish.
And don't expect to see Moscow women wearing flats –high heels are a mandatory part of their fashion uniform. Even when the streets are covered with snow and ice you still see them but in this case they switch to high heeled boots.
I was so happy I learned "how to dress" and the importance of blending in before traveling. When in Russia, look and act Russian. Wear black, wear heels and have your lipstick ready.
And even though Sochi visitors are in an
atmosphere geared toward world tourists it sounds like most of their fellow
spectators are Russian citizens so when leaving the Olympic village – the same
rules apply.

A teacher asked her students to use the word FASCINATE in a sentence. Marta said, My family went to the Louisville Zoo, and it was fascinating to see all the animals. The teacher said, That was good, but I wanted the word FASCINATE. Sarita raised her hand. She said, My family went to the Cincinnati Zoo and I was fascinated by the animals. That's good, too, said the teacher, but I wanted the word FASCINATE. Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because Johnny was noted for his bad language, but surely he couldn't damage the word fascinate, so she called on him. Johnny said proudly, My sister has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight!

The mother who accuses Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh of having an inappropriate relationship with her teenage son has filed a complaint with police in Madison Heights. She's accusing Pugh of sexual misconduct.
Attorneys now say the civil lawsuit they planned to file on Monday has been postponed. Fox 2's Charlie LeDuff talked to the mother in the case on Friday. She showed him a text message allegedly sent from Pugh to the 17-year-old boy.The text was sent at 12:18 a.m. on February 21, 2013 and said, "Is this you? Since yo a** didn't text me. lol lets go at 2 pm."The woman tells Fox 2 she's upset about raunchy texts sent in the middle of the night, a grown man meeting their son at a liquor store, and expensive gifts given without her permission. She also claims Pugh took the boy out of school to go shopping without her knowledge. She says when she reported this to the school nothing was done."It's the principal. He was wrong, and he know he was wrong," the mother told LeDuff. "I feel that he was luring my son with gifts, money and promising him things, and that's luring, that's seducing."Pugh has disappeared from the public eye for several days. On Friday, a woman from St. Clair Shores contacted local news agencies to say she saw Pugh at a coffee shop in Seattle, Washington. She also supplied a photo of Pugh and said the Council President "seemed relaxed" when she approached him and said hello.
Last week, Pugh made a request to Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to take a medical leave. Orr denied it and gave Pugh an ultimatum: Show up for work by 5 p.m. Wednesday or else. Pugh failed to show, prompting Orr to sign an order Thursday stripping Pugh of his pay and his authority as City Council president.

Port Authority Police arrested Da'Quan Bowers of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at LaGuardia Airport Monday morning after officers found a loaded handgun in his carryon bag, the Queens District Attorney's Office confirmed to Fox 5.
Bowers, a defensive end, was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, authorities said.
The weapon in question was a .40-caliber pistol, according to one report.
Bowers was supposed to fly on a US Airways flight to Raleigh, North Carolina, when he was arrested.
He was due to be arraigned sometime Monday evening, the D.A.'s office said.
Bowers, once considered a possible number one draft choice, was selected as the first pick of the second round of the 2011 NFL draft.

text: A dog malnourished, badly hurt and barely surviving was found near Toledo and Junction in southwest Detroit on Tuesday. Someone saw her in the street being tormented by some young men and called Home FurEver Rescue."She was in shock. She had a lot of wounds, and she was bleeding profusely," said Dr. Nathan Booth from the Wilson Veterinary Clinic. "She'd definitely been attacked by another dog. That's a given. She had wounds all around her neck, her face, the sides of her shoulders, mostly punctures, some what we call lacerations, cuts. They were bleeding quite a bit."Booth can't say for sure that Toledo was used as bait for dog fighting, but volunteers from Home FurEver Rescue fear that is exactly what happened to her."They use these dogs that are non-aggressive to make other dogs aggressive," said volunteer Dan Stasinski."The problem with dog fighting is that it's a very large, underground scene."Michigan now has some of the toughest laws in the nation regarding animal fighting. Last year, the Michigan Humane Society investigated 172 dog fighting complaints and more than 6,000 complaints of cruelty and neglect."I think a lot of it goes unnoticed or unseen, but investigation needs to occur," Booth said.There are so many dogs in need of good homes. Home FurEver Rescue has more than 130 of them. They are fostering them and trying to find families. They encourage people to spay and neuter their pets.Toledo is expected to survive, but she obviously has a long way to go. She has a lot of trust issues, as well as health issues, but she will likely end up in a foster home, and they hope she will be adopted.For more information about the Home FurEver Rescue, visit www.homefurever.com.

Suitable for carrying:
b. 1 x 10ml vials of insulin w/ syringes (not incl)
Inner Wallet Dimensions: 76mm x 102mm (3.0 x 4.0 approx)
Includes a nylon waterproof liner
The FRIO® is the most simple and convenient medication cooling system available.
FRIO® cooling wallets offer people with insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDD) the ultimate stylish accessory for the safe & convenient storage and transport of insulin.
HOW DO FRIO®s WORK?
They are so easy to use!
The principle is simple. To activate the wallet, immerse it in cold water for 5-15 minutes. Crystals contained in the panels of the wallet then expand into a gel, which remains cool for several days relying on the process of evaporation for cooling. Just towel dry the outside and it's ready to go! To use it again, put the FRIO® back in water it can be reactivated over and over again.
FRIO® wallets keep insulin safe for a minimum of 45 hours (more than 5 times longer than an ice pack) even in constant environmental temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit! The insulating qualities of the FRIO® also help protect against the cold of winter. Keep one at home and make FRIO® cooling packs part of your travel kit or emergency supply kit today no more bulky, inconvenient ice packs or thermos flasks required ever again! You'll wonder what you ever did without one.
Although activated by water, a feature of the product is that after towel-drying, the FRIO® wallet is dry to the touch. The Cambrellea outer pouch wallet increases the wallet's efficiency and allows it to be carried safely in your pocket or a bag as required. Each item is re-usable and can be used either continuously or intermittently.
FRIO® is committed to providing a highly effective, yet low-cost solution to the problem of keeping insulin at a safe temperature without the need for refrigeration.
* Keeps insulin cool and safe
* Refrigeration NOT needed simply activates with cold water!
* Great in HOT weather!!! FRIO® have been used in temperatures in excess of 120°F with complete success.
Tests prove that FRIO® retain their contents at around 25°C (77-79°F) for a minimum of 45 hours per immersion period in a constant environmental temperature of 38°C (100°F).
* FRIO® have considerable insulation properties, preventing insulin from freezing at cold temperatures.
* Reusable (a very green product), durable and long lasting
* Perfect for travel
* Perfect for power outages
* FRIO® give you convenience, freedom and, most importantly, peace of mind.
The FRIO® is designed to suit all types and makes of insulin pumps, insulin pens and standard refill cartridges. Just browse our catalogue to choose the right one for you. Not sure which FRIO® you need? Just go to our contact page to make your inquiry.
The FRIO® can also be used for other medications glaucoma eye drops, growth hormone, MS medications, anaphylactic shock therapies, etc. Please contact us directly to check the suitability for your requirement. Our information has been taken from various medical listings or various manufacturers.
The FRIO® wallet and the crystals have been scrutinized by the FDA and their sale in the USA has been approved. Also, the FRIO® wallet has been extensively tested by the British Medical Devices Evaluation Unit. The crystals contained in the FRIO® wallet conform to the relevant British Safety Standards.
What is its average life span?
The wallet can last anywhere from 12-24 months, depending on how well it is cared for. In some cases, the wallet has lasted for much longer. As long as the crystals expand to a gel when immersed in water, the wallets will keep medication cool. As the wallet ages, it may take longer to activate.
How to clean it?
The outer cover of the wallet can be washed at 30° C (86° F) using a mild detergent. The inner wallet can be cleaned by using a nail brush and dipping only the nail brush into slightly soapy water (not the wallet), then scrub the (dry) wallet with the brush. You can then rinse the wallet under the tap without damaging the crystals inside (do not place into a washing machine).
What temperature does the wallet maintain?
Insulin will begin to degrade at 30° C/ 86° F
The wallets keep insulin cool between 18-26°C (64 -79° F) depending on the climate which the wallet is exposed to. For example, if the wallet was in a constant climate temperature of 38.8°C (100°F), then the wallet will keep the insulin cool at 26°C (79°F) for a minimum of 45 hours.
Can it be used for other medication?
Yes, the FRIO® wallets can hold other medications. However, it is advised that you ask your GP or the medication's manufacturer before doing so, as further tests other than insulin have not been undertaken at this stage.
Why does it smell?
The smell may be due to the wallet being stored away whilst it is still active (in an air-tight situation). The crystals have not completely returned to their original condition. This will create a smell like all damp clothes and may eventually cause mold. If this occurs, refer to the cleaning and drying out process.
My bag is still swollen after 1-2 weeks?
The wallet will not start the evaporation process unless the external temperature is over 18°C (65°F).
The hotter the climate, the quicker the evaporation process. For example, if the wallet is exposed to a constant (day and night) temperature of 38.8°C (102°F) it would dry out completely after 45 hours. So, based on this information, if the environmental temperature was lower, the wallet will stay active for a much longer period.
My bag feels sticky on the outside?
If the wallet is sticky, this means that at some stage the wallet has been over-soaked, causing the gel to force its way through the material. If this happens, you can, once dried out, pinch off the excess gel bits. Do not spread over the wallet by wiping off, because this will just spread the gel further.
My wallet is not swelling like it should?
The older the wallet, the longer it takes for the crystals in the panels of the wallets to absorb the water. In some cases, it can take up to an hour (couple of years old). If the wallet does not swell at all, this means that the crystals are not working any longer and it is time to purchase a new one. Generally speaking, if looked after correctly, the life of the crystals is approximately 2 years, but many customers have had satisfactory use for several more years.
I can't get anything inside my wallet? Over-soaking?
The crystals are capable of absorbing 500 times their volume of water, therefore time restrictions are important. Otherwise, the wallet may become over soaked and will need to be dried out until the needed items can fit back in. Patience is needed in this instance.
The standard drying out procedure consists of placing the wallet on a low heat radiator or window sill and turning and shaking regularly to prevent the crystals congealing together.
Do not put into a tumble dryer.
My wallet does not work, it does not keep cool?
If the wallet has been immersed in water for the recommended time and has swollen into a gel form, then the wallet is functioning properly. As long as the wallet is not enclosed in an air tight bag, the evaporation process can start (the wallets need air to breath). The wallet does not keep medication as cold as a refridgerator - this is not how it is designed - but it does keep the insulin at a safe temperature for an extended period of time (insulin degrades at 30° C/86° F).
Clinical tests were carried out by companies specializing in this field, in a constant external environment temperature of 38.8°C (102°F). These tests proved the medication remained at 26°C (79° F) for a period of 45 hours. Insulin will degrade when it reaches 30°C (86°F), therefore a FRIO® will keep insulin below the temperature at which it could degrade.

Working together to combat truancy in the Basingstoke area
Thursday, 10 October 2013
As part of the Supporting (Troubled) Families initiative, Hampshire County Council and partners including the Police, will be stepping up their support and intervention to tackle incidents of truancy.
An innovative pilot is taking place in Basingstoke involving a number of agencies, including the Police and Police Community Safety Officers, working with the County Council in supporting schools to tackle unauthorised absence.
Councillor Keith Mans, Executive Lead Member for Children's Services at Hampshire County Council, said: "In line with the rest of the county, Basingstoke has excellent school attendance rates compared to the national average but, just as in other areas of the county, there is a very small minority of children who are persistently absent from school. Through the Supporting Troubled Families Programme, this multi-agency initiative is about focusing on that minority and working together with their parents to find out the underlying reasons for frequent absence and providing appropriate support to ensure children go to school each day as they should do.
"Regular school attendance is crucial to helping ensure a child has the best possible start in life. Children who miss school frequently for reasons other than serious illness are at greater risk of falling behind with their studies and not achieving as well in their exams as their peers. This in turn can have a negative impact on their future and restrict the range of choices open to them for further education, training and employment."
Over one week, at the request of the schools, the organisations involved will visit the home of a child who has not turned up for school and whose absence has not been reported by their parent or carer. The home visits will help to establish any underlying reasons why a child may be consistently absent from school and identify professional support for the child and its family, as appropriate, that could help to ensure significant improvement in the child's attendance at school.
Alongside this, checks will be made around shopping centres, parks and other recreational areas where young people may congregate when they are truant. Where a pupil is caught being truant, their details will be taken and a letter will be sent to the family home explaining the legal implications.
The Supporting (Troubled) Families programme is a unique opportunity to transform the lives of families and communities across Hampshire, through a more targeted and co-ordinated multi-agency approach, at a family level. The programme has a clear emphasis on early help and preventative work, enabling families to break cycles of being out of work, poverty and social exclusion. It also seeks to improve the effectiveness of the proportion of public money that is spent on high-need families. Over time, this approach will help to improve the lives of families, have a positive impact on the communities in which they reside and reduce the costs on the public purse.
Measures of success for these families range from: parents or older siblings being helped back into training, education or sustainable employment; significant improvements in children's school attendance; and reductions in youth crime and anti-social behaviour.

Imagine how excited I was when I found that could create my own Brio glass tile backsplash from modwalls® in the colors and the pattern I envisioned! We are creating a lake house / retirement house by remodeling a 70 year old cottage bit by bit. The tiles and percentages we chose were sent as a sample to us within a week, and we were able to then match the sample to the cherry cabinets and floors we had chosen. It all was finished last week…and the tiles were the first products to arrive after ordering! Every time we walk into the kitchen, we smile.
We looked everywhere for a black/white/gray mosaic tile mix and could not find one. Then we found Modwalls and got exactly what we had in our minds. Great product, fast, friendly service and reasonable price for what it is. The tiles look great, came packaged well (zero broken), and we are 100% happy.
Wow, you are AMAZINGLY fast. Great customer service!
I love this tile and love and love my bathroom.Thanks to all at Modwalls for the quick shipping and help with questions I had.
I instantly fell in love with the Brio Atomic Ranch Midcentury Palette tile because of the fun pop of vibrant red-orange against the more conservative greys and white. I figured--what better way to make the staid laundry room more interesting? And the choice went great with the modern aesthetic of the rest of our home. The small scale tiles were a perfect fit for the size of the space. And with two kids under age four, clean up will be a breeze. I can't walk into my laundry room without feeling happy--I'm not sure many people can say that!
Welcome to Modwalls®. Discover our own brands of colorful modern tile and delightful customer service. Buy online or call us toll free. We look forward to doing business with you. Read more.

(Reuters) - The MGM movie studio said adjusted profit rose in the second quarter on higher revenue from home entertainment sales of the James Bond movie "Skyfall" and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
Net income for the quarter that ended in June totaled $35.9 million, a $30 million increase when excluding a one-time gain from the year-ago sale of Latin American pay TV channels. Without the asset sale, second-quarter profit fell 16 percent from $42.6 million.
Revenue rose 164 percent to $339 million, lifted by home entertainment sales of its movies and licensing of TV shows including "Vikings."
MGM, the 88-year-old movie studio synonymous with the golden age of Hollywood, exited bankruptcy protection in 2010. In July 2012, MGM said it had filed confidentially for an initial public offering.

My bottle lasted me around 6 months. I only use it in the morning in place of washing my face.
I really like the product and have re-ordered it.
I'm over 60 if that helps. Apr 21, 2013
To be honest, I don't use the Toner daily; I apply it with a cotton round maybe two to three times a week. I purchased it Nov. of 2012 and still have over 1/2 a bottle left.
That was five months ago, so it may last another 5.
Hope this helps.......... Apr 22, 2013

GT Zaskar 100 Hans Rey Edition 26" Mountain Bike - 2013Hans Rey bikes are signature models that are limited edition in every way. The Zaskar 100 is spec'd with Hans Rey's legendary insight, right down to the striking custom white and gold paint job. Hans pulled high end products from Crank Brothers, Shimano, Kenda and Fox to dial-in an incredibly lightweight GT Zaskar carbon frame with 120mm of front travel and 100mm of rear travel.
The frame features all of the bells and whistles of modern mountain bike technology. The FOC carbon fabrication process results in minimal flex during pedaling and steering. The force optimized frame has a tapered head tube for maximum stiffness under load. GT's proven and patented Independent Drivetrain is that the core of the design. Like the name suggests, the suspension operates independently of the drivetrain to minimize pedal bob. The result is a smoother, faster ride that does not compromise on efficiency. It is inherently simple, so set up and maintenance are simple as well.
Suspension is vital to the execution of a great cross country bike. Hans has chosen a beefy 15mm thru-axle Fox Racing Shox 32 Float 26 CTD with 120mm (4.7 inches) of travel. It has a gorgeous Kashima coat that delivers a smooth feel and provides extreme durability. The CTD, or Climb/Trail/Descend, is a 3-position adjust to tune your fork under varying conditions. The fork also has a rebound adjustment for the air spring pressure. The rear Fox Racing Shox Float CTD is arguably the best rear shock on the market. It features rebound and compression adjust for fine tuning trail feedback, as well as a CTD adjustment.
The newly revamped 780 XT series blankets the Zaskar and delivers sharp, high-end performance. Many XC bikes have gone 2x10, but Hans believes the tried-and-true flexibility of a 3-ring crank will give you the best range in varied terrain. Shimano Deore XT controls react quickly and sensitively to your direction.
Crank Brothers abounds on the GT Zaskar 100. The Cobalt series components offer durability and dependability under tough conditions. The perfectly color matched Cobalt 2 wheels feature 6061 T6 aluminum rims laced to beefy hubs and they are tubeless compatible. The CB patented twin pair stainless steel spoke design provides an excellent strength to weight ratio.
The 2013 GT Zaskar 100 Hans Rey Edition mountain bike rolls out the red carpet over every trail it tackles. Incredible technology, a gorgeous pro design, and only limited quantities make this coveted bike highly sought after.

So Leo has been talking a lot about god lately. No biggie I knew it would come up eventually. Six year olds can be stubborn, easily influenced, or both. Well he's both. Started with being easily influenced and now he's stubborn. He believes and knows that there is a god. Okay fine. It can't hurt right?? I was just wondering where the idea of god and heaven and the "h" word (as he calls it) came into his little head from. Well finally he comes out and says that he believes in god because Ms. Yu told him about it. So I ask him what he means and he says that she told him (and the class) that god is always watching you and will always take care of you. If you're good then you go to heaven but if not then you go to another place. A bad place that starts with the letter H.
I'm kinda bummed. I knew that he'd learn about this stuff from movies, tv shows, other family members and especially friends, but his first grade teacher?? I mean sure his kinder teacher (last year) mentioned her dad was in heaven when one of the kids asked about him, but that didn't really bother me. What would you do if you were in my shoes?? Do I just talk to him about what he thinks here at home, or talk with her about how much she says in the classroom?? The "evil" in me wants to say, "See there is a hell be a good boy." :laugh: I'm totally kidding.

An audiometry exam tests your ability to hear sounds. Sounds vary based on their loudness (intensity) and the speed of sound wave vibrations (tone).
Hearing occurs when sound waves stimulates the nerves of the inner ear. Eventually the sound travels along nerve pathways to the brain.
Sound waves can travel to the inner ear through the ear canal, eardrum, and bones of the middle ear (air conduction), or through the bones around and behind the ear (bone conduction).
The INTENSITY of sound is measured in decibels (dB):
Sounds greater than 85 dB can cause hearing loss after a few hours. Louder sounds can cause immediate pain, and hearing loss can develop in a very short time.
The TONE of sound is measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz:
The normal range of human hearing is about 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Some animals can hear up to 50,000 Hz. Human speech is usually 500 - 3,000 Hz.
Audiometry; Hearing test; Audiography (audiogram)
The first steps are to see whether you need an audiogram. The specific procedures may vary, but they generally involve blocking one ear at a time and checking your ability to hear whispers, spoken words, or the sound of a ticking watch.
A tuning fork may be used. The tuning fork is tapped and held in the air on each side of the head to test the ability to hear by air conduction. It is tapped and placed against the mastoid bone behind each ear to test bone conduction.
Audiometry provides a more precise measurement of hearing. To test air conduction, you wear earphones attached to the audiometer. Pure tones of controlled intensity are delivered to one ear at a time. You are asked to raise a hand, press a button, or otherwise indicate when you hear a sound.
The minimum intensity (volume) required to hear each tone is graphed. An attachment called a bone oscillator is placed against the bone behind each ear (mastoid bone) to test bone conduction.
No special preparation is needed.
There is no discomfort. The length of time varies. An initial screening may take about 5 to 10 minutes. Detailed audiometry may take about 1 hour.
This test can detect hearing loss
at an early stage. It may also be used when you have difficulty hearing from any cause.
Common causes of hearing loss include:
There are many different kinds and degrees of hearing loss. In some types, you only lose the ability to hear high or low tones, or you lose only air or bone conduction. The inability to hear pure tones below 25 dB indicates some hearing loss.
The amount and type of hearing loss may give clues to the cause and outlook.
The following conditions may affect test results:
There is no risk.
There are many different hearing function tests. In simple screenings, the health care provider will make a loud noise and watch to see if it startles you. Detailed screenings include brainstem auditory evoked response testing (BAER). This test uses an electroencephalogram
to detect brain wave activity when sounds are made.
Another hearing test called otoacoustic emission testing (OAE) can be used in very young children (such as newborns) or when standard tests do not produce reliable results.

Just curious. Since we're expecting #3 this summer, I initially panicked about space but have come to realize that with a little organization, I think we can do this comfortably. We have a total of just under 1,200 sq ft. We also have plans to build a shed this spring, which will allow us to move stuff from the garage to the shed, which in turn will give us more garage space (with creative storage) to move stuff from the basement to the garage.
Our house is a bi-level with 3 bedrooms and a half-basement (other half houses the garage). The girls share a room and the third bedroom is currently office space. We plan on moving our office desks downstairs, which will merge office space with our current music room/family room/toy space.
I guess my concern isn't immediate, but as the kids get bigger. I hope we can live comfortably in our home as we really love our location/specific location/neighbors. We like the house, too, although it would be nice to have a bit more room. We are talking about adding on in a few years, which would then give us more dining space plus maybe office space or additional seating.
If you have a smaller home and a few kiddos, how do you make things work? What about privacy as they get older? Do you think living in a smaller space = cozier, closer siblings/families?

A good week to all,
They stopped shipping the ROSE' and the bottle I had drank well but the Acid was Gone and Major Sediment for a Rose.. Did you see Must or Lees?
Gabriel Geller wrote:Domaine Netofa, Tinto 2011: Bordeaux red in color with on the nose cherries, minerals, loamy dirt and dry cranberries with heavy notes of smoke and roasted meat, medium-bodied with much of the same on the palate as well as licorice and dried herbs, nice acid but very soft, barely noticeable tannins showing on the moderately long finish. Very earthy and old-world doing a great job at imitating the Douro wines from Portugal, this blend of Tempranillo and Tourigal Nacional is substancially better than it's previous vintage and a lot more interesting than its Yarden 2T counterpart.
These are not sediments but a sign (happens fairly often with roses wines) that the wine's tartaric acid has gone thru crystallization, generally caused by chilling the wine. However these "crystals" aren't supposed to affect the wine's taste/quality whatsoever.
Gabriel Geller wrote:Isaac, what I meant is that the crystals aren't responsible for the bottle being off. BTW, I've not tasted it (yet) but the VD Rosé is said to be excellent so nicely traded!
Steve, at $16 the 2T is a steal. Personally I think it's a pleasant wine but I didn't find it interesting in the sense that while it's supposed to imitate the wines from the Douro region in Portugal, like the Netofa Tinto, as opposed to the Tinto it does not differ much style-wise from other Yarden wines (new world bold, full, lots of very ripe fruit and heavy oak). So your decision to stock up should end up being based upon looking for an inexpensive good wine rather than an inexpensive DIFFERENT wine. IMHO at this price point the Capçanes Peraj Petita does a much better job at that.
David Raccah wrote:Like I write in my post of the 2010 Tinto from Netofa, I do NOT care for the 2009 2T from Yarden, not my cup of tea. The 2008 2T was nice - but that is gone already. The 2011 Tinto and the 2010 Coalition from Shirah are the two best dry Nacional wines that I have enjoyed - period!
GG thinks that the 2010 Tinto is dead and has had bad experiences with it. I liked it, maybe I was lucky! Either way, not improving - so drink up. The 2009 2T IMHO will not improve and is not great now - but hey that is my 2 cents. Totally agree with GG, use your money on the Petita

The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
The 2014 Ford Fusion Energi drives very comfortably and easily, and proves extremely economical for people who can plug it in and drive a reasonable daily commute.
Inexpensive yet high-performing, the 2014 Ford Fiesta ST rewards people who enjoy driving, while cabin electronics support all those mundane tasks that need doing when not on a twisty back road.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta EcoBoost gets extraordinary fuel economy, but the skill required to drive it and the limited options available will limit its appeal.
Ford's chosen to unveil it's new compact at Mobile World Congress, a week ahead of the big auto show in Geneva. It packs better tech inside, new driver aids, and a subtly revised exterior.
Pricing not available
Ford's F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the US for the past 37 years in a row. This year it gets a radical overhaul, moving to aluminum to save weight and getting a raft of new tech inside and out, making sure this workhorse continues to carry the Blue Oval forward.
Pricing not available
For the 50th anniversary of the iconic Mustang, Ford isn't exactly reinventing the wheel, but the company's latest pony car looks to be the best yet.
Pricing not available
With its 1.6-liter engine, the 2014 Ford Fiesta makes for a mild-mannered urban runabout, but Sync and MyFord Touch add some compelling tech features.
The 2014 Ford Escape SE is a fantastic example of "less is more," making acceptable power with a tiny engine and offering exceptional tech in even its base configuration.
The 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid looks good and can be had with very advanced driver assistance features, but buyers should be aware of Ford's revised fuel economy average of 42 mpg.
The 2013 Ford Taurus presents cabin technology rich in features, from navigation to automatic parallel parking, in an easy-driving large sedan package, but the sluggish touch-screen response can be aggravating.

Hi, I'm Stacey and I blog over at The Tilted Quilt ~ I'm thrilled today to share with you my first project for the Moda Bake Shop, a quick pillow that's sure to add a little sass to any room. I think Shades of Black will be the "Little Black Dress" of fabrics this year - there are so many great black, white and gray prints in this collection, you will find a million uses for them. I wanted this pillow to have a pop as well, so I chose a high contrasting pink solid to enhance the lattice effect of the pattern. I hope you enjoy!
1 charm pack in Shades of Black by Me and My Sister Designs
1. Sort the charm pack by color - you will need 8 charms from white prints and 12 charms from black prints. Cut 12 - 5" squares from the solid pink fabric.
3. Make 2 Half-Square Triangles (HST) by sewing on 1/4" on either side of the diagonal. Each pair of charms will result in 2 -
4 1/2" HST. Sew 4 pairs of white/pink charms to create 8 HST. Trim to 4".
6. To create Unit B, follow the same process as above - beginning with 4 black charms and 4 white charms to create 8 black/white HST's. Trim to 4" and match with a trimmed pink charm to create 8 Unit B blocks.
10. Create a quilt sandwich with the pillow top, batting and a layer of muslin or neutral solid.
11. Quilt as desired - I opted for an angular design throughout to complement the blocks.
12. For the backing fabric, cut 2 rectangles 18"x 14". On each of the rectangles, fold one long edge back 1/4" and then another 1/4" and topstitch along the folded edge.
Lay the pillow top facing up, then lay one piece of backing facing down with the folded side to the left, and then the second backing fabric facing down, with the folded side to the right.
13. Stitch 1/4" around the entire pillow and flip right side out. Insert pillow form. Enjoy!

Step 1- You will need one of those cheap 1" binders. This one is a nasty shade of blue that refused to take a good photograph! When opened flat, it will measure about 12" x 22"
Step 3- Get another of your Layer Cake pieces to use for the spine of the Binder. Cut it into 2 pieces that are 4" x 6 1/2". Sew them, RST, at one end. Press seam flat.
Step 4- Get the Front and Back cuts, and sew them together as pictured below. After you have pressed the seams, sew the spine pieces in the center.
Step 6- Choose one of these inside flap pieces to be on the left flap. (The flap that is inside the front cover.) We are going to make a pocket out of the last Layer Cake piece by folding it in half, and pressing it on the fold. Place the raw edges along the bottom.
Step 8- Top stitch down these folded edges at 1/8" and 1/4". I sewed a pencil/scissors section into the pocket. You can sew as many sections as you need.
Step 9- Lay the outside piece on top of your muslin, and cut it to size.
Step 10- Make a sandwich. Lay the Outside face up, with the flap pieces face down and seams towards the center.
Step 11- Lay the Moda Muslin on top of it all, and sew around the edges with a
1/4" seam allowance.
Leave a 3" opening, at the spine fabric, for turning right side out.
Step 12- Clip the corners close to the stitching line, and turn right side out. Press the opening in 1/4" so that it matches the rest of your seam line. Edge Stitch it closed.
Step 13- Put the cover on your ugly....uninspiring binder.
You will have to bend your binder backwards to get it on both sides.
Step 14- Ta-Dah!!! Look how cute it is! If it is too big, you can top stitch the edges to make it tighter. ( If it is too small....uhhhhh....cram it in there really hard!)
You can get 5 binder covers out of a Layer Cake.

The case against Ariel Castro is now going to a County Grand Jury, and 19 Action News Reporter Ed Gallek has learned investigators have discussed the possibility of filing murder charges.
Police say Castro held Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight against their will for years and sexually abused them. One victim told investigators she had repeatedly become pregnant by Castro, and then he would starve her and beat her to make her lose the babies.
Berry was allowed to keep her baby, a little girl, now 6.
Castro is facing charges of rape and kidnapping, but could he also be charged with murder? Multiple law enforcement sources say case law is being researched, and investigators have talked about what evidence they would need.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty discussed the case at a news conference Thursday.
McGinty said Castro, who's already charged with kidnapping and rape, could face additional charges.
McGinty's office is looking into aggravated murder charges in connection with the terminated pregnancies. If charged with aggravated murder, the prosecutor could consider asking for the death penalty.

nah... just a tease!
I confess picking out names, while fun, is hard work
I confess we've already started talking baby names and aren't pregnant with #2 yet! LOL
You all are going to have so much fun!!! Can't wait to see pics!
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I confess I'm going to crash and burn if I don't get more sleep. Last night I think I slept from 10p-1am and from 4:30-5:30am. My body seems to be all achey for no apparent reason. I can't even blame lack of sleep on Liam last night - there wasn't a peep out of him till 3 am, we nursed, and he was out again by 3:20 am and woke up at 6:45 am.
From 1 to 3, did you roll around in bed? Get up? Try to read something? Have you tried anything (Tylenol PM, Unisom, natural supplements, warm milk)? Relaxation techniques?
I've been an insomniac for my entire adult life. The only thing that's been a 100% cure is, surprisingly, pregnancy.
Have fun in Vegas guys!!!
How about YOU don't get into too much trouble.
I confess I got signed off by my specialist and was supposed to get cleared by employee health yesterday and start back to work today after being off since May 29th. And then I almost passed out at my employee health appt. when they insisted I couldn't sit down to fill out the forms and I kept telling them I needed to sit down and I almost collapsed. So the doctor refused to clear me to return to work until my dizziness and irregular heartbeat were evaluated. I went to my primary doctor on the way home, and she set me up to see an ENT (to rule out inner ear problems) and to have my heart checked out. So I'm off work until next week.
And I confess dh and I both knew our babies' birthday was coming up soon, but didn't realize it was this coming Sunday. My mom had to remind us. We didn't have anything planned, and my mom wants me to have a dinner party.
And I think Erin and Cass should have a blast in Vegas!
Lydia, I hope you feel better soon.
I confess I don't know what my dad said to MIL while he was here, but whatever it was - it was a load of BS.
MIL is under the impression that ALL DH and I do all day is RELAX around the house, and that my parents must have given us a wad of cash before they left in order for us to be able to do that, and just go "gallivanting" around the city whenever we want....
DH and I job search all day - Im usually on APA as well, but I am looking for jobs at the same time... and we have been going and going since last friday with Audrianna's birthday stuff... then this week we had to go to sMIL's pre-op appointment, my ultrasound, and Audrianna's dr. appointment. This afternoon DH has a meeting with his Job Counselor.
I confess I am SICK and TIRED of them making it seem like we aren't trying to find a job... and that no one recognizes the driver job DH got because it hasn't started yet....
Not doing tylenol PM/unisom as the ingredients CAN affect milk supply and I've worked to hard to keep producing for my little man. I have taken Hyland's Calm Forte - and find that if I take 3 at a time it does help. But the last time I did that (Tuesday night?) Liam was up and restless for almost 2 hours. I took 2 of them last night about 3:30 after nursing, but it was an hour before I got to sleep. Milk should only be consumed warm if it has chocolate in it - otherwise it must be VERY cold (sometimes with icecubes).
ETA: Months ago I tried camomile tea, with no noticable affect.
And I never got to experience the perpetual napping that is pregnancy. I had a horrid cold with coughing from 2-4 months and that's when PSD kicked in with a vengence and it was hard to sleep anywhere.

Have a safe flight and a wonderful vacation, Rin and Cass!
Lydia, I truly wish I could do something to make you feel better. This has been going on a bit too long
Errr, I drove by a house that appeared to be getting emptied out and being dumpstered and saw a cute little dump truck and asked if I could have it. So they're getting a birthday present, I just need to wash it. They also have their personalized birthday book plus everything my mom has been doing.
I'm just trying to pin down how many people will be coming to this purported dinner party, to see if I can host it here or if I'll have to move it to my mom's house. Then I'll be able to make more plans.
I confess I have been thinking about having another baby, despite the fact that dh & I essentially decided we wouldn't have any more. I've been looking at cute babies and feeling wistful. I've been asking C & R if they want a baby to play with. I'm actually trying to decide if I want to restart my birth control pills this week.
Dh is on the same side of the fence as I am, that is, we both felt like it would probably be a good idea to stop for practical reasons but we both like children (especially our children) and can't stop imagining what another one would be like.
And this would take some definite planning because obviously I'm not in the best health right now and I'm taking meds that are not compatible, so it would be at least several months before I could conceive of conceiving.
It's so tempting to start temping, though.
Last edited by 3andMe; 08-27-2009 at 08:21 AM. Reason: To remove twins' names because this came up on the first page of Google!
Aw, Lydia; I hope you do have another baby. You're obviously such a good momma to the 2 you've already got-you need another, definitely! I need to stop trying to think of baby names since we aren't ttc til later this year...it's just exciting/fun to think about, though.
I think it went pretty well, but I did put on my application that I am pregnant because it asked if there would be any reason for me to need more than 1 day off work within the next 6 months.

Anyone who has ever considered becoming a member of the Minnesota State Patrol has 11 days to prepare and submit an application for one of 40 available jobs.
The State Patrol says it's looking for more than the usual recruits and are hoping to attract a diverse workforce. Although a degree in law enforcement is required for the position, the Minnesota State Patrol will help the right person for the job get that education through Law Enforcement Training Opportunity.
For the first time in five years, the number of fatal crashes has increased -- and that has the Minnesota State Patrol looking to increase its presence on the roads.
For as long as she can remember, Trooper Azzahya Williams has wanted to work in law enforcement.
"I wanted to help people," she said. "I want to take the bad guy to jail. I want to serve the community."
For the past four years, the front of a squad car has been her office. The road to becoming a peace officer traditionally includes a degree in law enforcement, but the agency also offers a way to make it a second career.
"I went to school with someone that was a car salesman," Williams told FOX 9 News. "There was a financial planner, a phlebotomist, a teacher."
Last year, one in four trooper candidates came from alternative backgrounds. For those who clear the competitive selection process, the state will go out of its way to make sure applicants get the law enforcement training required to be a trooper.
"I got hired on with the State Patrol and they actually paid for my schooling," Williams said.
Williams says the job involves more than just ticketing speeders and arresting drunk drivers.
"We'll handle domestic assaults, crashes, road rage incidents -- but everything is on the freeway," she said.
While Williams says the worst days require her to notify someone that a loved one has died in a crash, she said the good days far outweigh the bad.
"I think the best days are when you put a smile on someone's face -- when you know what you did that day really made a difference, it was a really positive encounter with the community," she said. "That's pretty much why we're here."
Applications will be accepted through July 12. Applicants must have either a two- or four-year degree to qualify.

I've been struggling to think of things to write about the Brewers lately. At one point I wanted to write a post about how Jim Henderson is the GREATEST CLOSER IN BREWERS HISTORY, but I obviously missed that bandwagon. Who would've thought that Honey Boo Boo's 15 minutes of fame would last longer than Jim Henderson's 15 minutes of being a good reliever? (Don't answer that. Sports betting sites wouldn't even take that action.) I'll probably write something about how awesome Aramis Ramirez has been or how the offense has been exactly what we dreamed it would be, but I can write those things anytime. Watching the Brewers lose in walk off fashion night after night just sucks the motivation to write Brewers things out of me so I'm just not going to do it. Let's talk about something else. Let's talk about these three things instead. Continue reading →

Homespice Decor
In 2000, J Quilts Company offered their first braided rugs. Immediately, the rugs were a huge success. Stores were selling the rugs before the product could even be unwrapped! The demand for the braided rugs grew at an unprecedented rate. In January 2006, the decision was made to change the companys name from J Quilts Company to Homespice Décor in order to more accurately reflect the core products of the business. Today, Homespice Décor has become an industry leader in braided rugs (outdoor, indoor, wool, cotton), and has expanded line to include Penny Rugs and Rag Rugs.

The genuine suede base materials found in SUPRA shoes also provide better breathability, better fit and comfort than 100% of synthetic shoes.SUPRA's SUPRATUF technology is tested using the Taber Abrasion Meter. The Taber measures abrasion in cycles. Regular Suede goes through about 25 to 40 cycles before abrading. The average SUPRATUF will go through more than 200 cycles before abrading. The above information is from the SUPRA website.
