Rapid Medical Diagnostic Devices Market - Insights
Rapid medical diagnostic devices provide test results within a minimum amount of time ranging from under a minute to up to a few minutes. Rapid medical diagnosis involves testing of the samples to identify the cause behind a disease and start the treatment. Rapid diagnosis helps in early detection of diseases, which would aid in adopting an optimal treatment plan. Diagnosis using rapid medical diagnosis devices is often a non-invasive approach, which makes frequent testing possible, and treatment can be effectively validated. Rapid diagnosis requires only a small amount of sample and the procedure is quicker. Rapid medical diagnostic devices make use of innovative technologies such as lateral flow and agglutination assays as well as biosensors. Some of the commercially available rapid medical diagnostic devices include Uni-Gold HIV, Accu-Chek Aviva meter, Alere I Influenza A & B, and ICON SC Strep A.
Rising demand for decentralized (point of care) testing
Demand for decentralized testing is rising, owing to factors such as less time consumption, independence from centralized laboratories, and cost-effectiveness. Rapid diagnostic testing aid patients by conducting testing process at the comfort of their homes, which is convenient and helps in early diagnosis and treatment. This is expected to significantly affect treatment outcomes. Manufacturers such as Alere, Inc., Roche, and Danaher Corporation are providing faster operating, easy-to-use, and reliable rapid diagnostic devices, to cater to rising demand for rapid diagnosis from patients and healthcare providers. Large population base in certain rural areas do not have adequate access to laboratory testing facilities, therefore, demand for rapid diagnostic devices from these is increasing. Rapid diagnostic devices aid in improving treatment outcomes by rapid testing and disease monitoring. Furthermore, diseases requiring constant monitoring such as diabetes, wherein, real-time physician counselling is necessary, rapid diagnostic medical devices such as glucometers have proven to be highly effective, which is further boosting growth of the market.
The global rapid medical diagnostic devices market was valued at US$ 17,078.1 million in 2016 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period (2017–2025).

Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to boost the demand for rapid diagnostic devices
Incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, HIV, tuberculosis, and cardiovascular conditions is increasing, which is expected to positively impact growth of the rapid medical diagnostic devices market. For instance, according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) around 30.3 million population in U.S. was suffering from diabetes in 2015 and around 1.5 million people are diagnosed with the disease every year. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 36.7 million people were suffering from HIV globally, in 2016. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2015, an estimated 32,000 deaths from tuberculosis and around 3, 23,000 new cases of TB cases were reported in the European region. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016, the number of deaths due to heart disease increased from 596,577 in 2011 to 614,348 in 2014, i.e. 3.0% between 2011 and 2014. Moreover, death due to cancer increased by 2.6% during the same time period. Early diagnosis can play a vital role in preventing or curtailing this increasing number of death due to chronic diseases such as heart disease, and cancer. As rapid diagnostic devices are primarily used for early diagnosis, the market for rapid diagnostic devices is expected to witness rapid growth rate over the forecast period.
However, factors such as reliability of the test results, less sensitivity as compared to laboratory testing, and interference in tests resulting in inaccurate final results are expected to hinder growth of the market over the forecast period.
Some major players operating in the rapid medical diagnostic devices market include Danaher Corporation, Abbott Laboratories, Acon Laboratories, Inc., Hoffman-La Roche AG, Becton, Dickinson, and Company, Johnson & Johnson, Trinity Biotech Plc, and Siemens Healthineers.
Prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, and infectious diseases (tuberculosis, HIV, malaria, and sexually transmitted diseases) is rising globally, and is expected to lead to high demand for rapid diagnostic techniques and devices. Diseases such as Chikungunya virus infection, neglected infectious diseases (Chagas diseases, Dengue, Leprosy, Schistosomiasis, and others) create extensive unmet needs for rapid diagnostic tests. Though rapid diagnostic tests are available for these diseases such as rapid CHIKV IgM for Chikungunya, the accuracy of these tests is not known. Severe conditions such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has high prevalence in emerging economies such as India, which requires rapid diagnostic devices. For instance, according to Lancet 2017, by 2040, the percentage of MDR-TB will make up of 12.4% of the TB cases in India. Leading manufacturers with established research and development capacities could aim towards development of rapid diagnostics for such diseases and gain first mover advantage in a potential market.
Market Dynamics
Demand for decentralized testing is rising, owing to factors such as less time consuming, independence from centralized laboratories as the testing can be done on the spot without the need of laboratory facilities, and cost effectiveness, which is expected to create a conducive environment for growth of rapid medical diagnostic devices market. The market is expected to exhibit significant growth, owing to further developments in point-of-care diagnostics aimed towards impacting medical outcomes, increased adoption of rapid medical diagnostic devices, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as HIV, infectious diseases, and diabetes. Development of innovative rapid medical diagnostic, and wide number of applications of these ranging from cancer diagnosis to metabolic diseases is expected to fuel growth of the market. Issues associated with reliability of rapid diagnostic devices results, management related issues in remote areas, and result reliability issues are expected to hinder the market growth.

I went to my 3rd Italian Perl Workshop,
href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ipw2008/">IPW2008 at the end of
last week. It seems to have been the most successful Italian conference to
date, and it certainly succeeded at being both a national workshop and an
international event. It hadn't occurred to me before that these are actually
two orthogonal aims.
An international event
The organizers managed to pull out all the stops with sponsorship. There's
always various random swag, books for the auction, cheap/free use of rooms from
the University. And in recent years, the conference has had just enough money
to be completely free of charge, even with its (excellent) coffee and biscuit
break. But this year, the href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ipw2008/call_sponsors.html">
"platinum", "gold" and "silver" sponsors contributed enough money to pay
travel and accomodation for speakers of international calibre:
- Tim Bunce
- Rafaël Garcia-Suarez
- Marcus Ramberg
- Matt Trout
Other international attendees included Michel "XML::Twig" Rodriguez (though he
lives in nearby Lucca and spoke in Italian); Bruno (a Pole who lives in
Spain… or Amsterdam or something… I'm confused, especially as to why he
attended the Pisa workshop :-); a bevy of Norwegians from Opera's HR
team; and another Norwegian expat who was completely unrelated; an Indian
postgrad studentessa; and me, I guess.
Hmmm, 4 Norwegians, 3 Brits, 2 French. I wouldn't have expected quite that
many Norwegians, largely because I'd never have thought that Opera, based in
Oslo, would have been recruiting at a workshop in Italy. But it's on their
"world tour" as several of the core Perl team for their social network are
Italian. And they really capitalised on the opportunity, sending 3 perlisti
and 2 HR, all of whom were very visible throughout, sponsored a competition
for a Wii, and hired an interview room for recruiting sessions during the
workshop. I'll be really interested to see how successful they, and the
other recruiting companies (Wind, Dada, A-Tono) have been. It's very positive
that Italian companies using Perl are getting involved like this.
Oh, the talks! Matt spoke about Devel::Declare, which rocks. I finally
got to see Tim Bunce's Perl Myths talk in the flesh, and also his demo of
Devel::NYTProf which is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Marcus
introduced Catalyst, and I missed the others, for various reasons.
A national event
There's a danger that the focus on the exotic allure of geeks arriving by
luxurious Ryanair jet could distract from the fact that this is also the event
for Italian programmers. Having two tracks, and a general policy of not
scheduling 2 "guests" against each other worked very well here.
The first day's Italian talks concentrated on beginner and intermediate
topics, including dakkar's tutorial and regex theory, and Flavio Poletti on
writing IRC bots, though there was some crossover, as rgs also presented on
coding style in English. The perl.it guys are really keen on appealing to new
programmers, which is fantastic. (There was a little gnashing of teeth about
how the recent Pycon in Italy had even more attendees despite being a younger
Not that it was all for beginners: emi spoke about Linux wifi captive
portal setup; emazep showed a fantastic UI for constructing complex DB queries,
running on Catalyst with jQuery; grubert presented a news portal prototyped in
2 months with the awesome power of CPAN; [LucaS] finally presented his
workgroup software IGSuite, yay! Cosimo spoke about scaling and the Dogpile
Effect at Opera. Sadly I missed the "GUI track" completely with Mattia Barbon,
the author of WxPerl, and nids talking about Perl/TK. And finally I had to
give an emergency talk myself to fill in a gap (went OK, trailed off towards
the end).

are already being posted, and larsen is collating blog posts to link to from
the main perl.it page.

LinkedIn is one of the most popular social networking sites on the internet. The platform enables you to connect with a variety of people. You can even use it to help with your job search.
Creating a great profile is about more than just filling out forms. It's about engaging the reader and drawing them in to want to learn more about you.
Here are several steps to help you create an amazing LinkedIn profile.
Determine Your Goals
Before you do anything else, it's important to consider what you would like to achieve with your LinkedIn profile.
Think about what others need to know about you, and what kind of impression you would like to leave them with.
Think about the kind of people you want to attract to your profile and the kind of job offers you would like to receive.
Focus Your Profile
Think about the kind of people you want to attract to your profile and generate your content accordingly.
Some people will view your profile regardless of whether they are interested in you or what you do. However, by narrowing your focus, you can target your audience more effectively.
Make A Detailed Profile
A good profile is one that is fleshed out and detailed. Filling out every piece of information on your profile can feel a little daunting at first, but it is worth doing.
Remember to keep your focus. If you grow weary of working on your profile, step away for a bit and come back to it later.
Define Your Expertise
Put it into terms others will understand. They may not use exactly the same language you would to describe your work, so take some time to think about how you can structure your phrases and sentences so others will come away with a clear picture of your experience.
Cater Your Content For The Reader
One of the most important things to do with your profile is to pique the interest of the reader. In other words, make them want to read more.
Though it's important to remain professional on your LinkedIn profile, if it's not interesting, it won't get read.
Once you've finished populating your profile, don't forget to proofread it and edit it. Correct spelling and grammatical errors. Trim unnecessary verbiage. Keep editing until you have a detailed but tight focus.
Attention to detail is a highly desired quality in a job seeker.
Use A High Quality Picture
Because LinkedIn is a professional network, you should consider using a professional photographer for your profile photo. Don't just use a smartphone picture or an Instagram image, as this will come across as unprofessional.
Customise Your Public Profile URL
By default, your LinkedIn profile URL is comprised of random alphanumerical characters. You can make your profile more discoverable by customising your profile URL.
This would also allow you to put your LinkedIn URL on print materials or business cards. You can enable others to be able to go directly to your profile page without having to search for you.

Goldenberg Schneider, LPA (GS), founded in 1996, is a law Firm with two distinct departments: a civil litigation practice and an environmental health and safety practice.
The attorneys and professionals in the Environmental Health & Safety Practice (EHS) focus on EHS and many other regulatory legal and technical services. They support our clients throughout the world in nearly every area of EHS management and legal advice including performing multi-media EHS audits and designing and implementing strategic compliance management solutions to defending clients in enforcement matters, providing cutting-edge strategic sustainability programs, and verifying greenhouse gas emissions. A complete listing of EHS services and products can be found at: http://www.gs-legal.com/environmental_health_safety/services_and_experiences/
The Litigation Practice (http://www.gs-legal.com/litigation/) prosecutes actions on behalf of individuals and companies in civil litigation, including complex class actions, in a wide range of legal fields from anti-trust, securities, consumer rights & protection, insurance litigation (including long-term care insurance coverage disputes), product liability including pharmaceutical and medical devices, employment and labor including ERISA (benefits recovery) and FLSA (overtime and other pay issues), toxic torts, personal injury and wrongful death.
A common failing with today's legal and technical service is the professionals' focus on the quantity of work generated rather than on the quality of services provided. This faulty approach dilutes the concentration and effort at critical stages in the litigation or EHS project development.
GS limits its caseload and business projects to ensure that each client receives the necessary and undivided attention, energy and creativity of the Firm's attorneys, professionals, and staff. This Firm philosophy cultivates an ideal environment that maximizes the potential for case and project success as well as client satisfaction. In short, GS approaches each case and business project as an opportunity to create a mutually beneficial partnership.

Listening to Mamma Mia in Mandarin I was amused to hear that in the chorus of Abba's Money, Money, Money, the singers revert to English. "It's so funny in a rich man's world" may sound fine in Mandarin but the word "money" clearly has more punch in the original. Money, lots of it, is what the British producers of the stage musical are hoping to make in China. Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats is also touring, and producer Cameron Mackintosh in confident that Les Misérables will follow soon. It is proof that Britain's creative industries are a key export sector, which we can and should be growing.
I've just come back from Brazil, where they are building 24 museums in the lead-up to the Rio Olympics. A growing number of Brazilians, including Rio's mayor, see the arts as a key building block in their economy. What was uplifting for me arriving from a grey, gloomy London was how they see Britain as a model. For us the optimism of the 2012 Games may have disappeared under a cloud of depressing economic figures but for the outside world Britannia remains cool.
George Osborne said in his budget speech that Britain was in a global race against the growing economic power of countries such as Brazil and China. Our creative industries make up 7% of GDP, not far off what we make from the financial sector. That's much higher than in the US (just over 3%) and accounts for £1 in every £10 of UK exports. It was obvious watching Danny Boyle's opening ceremony that quirky creativity is where Britain excels, and this is where we should be focusing our efforts.
So far Mamma Mia has toured 19 Chinese cities to ecstatic crowds. That Abba's catchy tunes have universal appeal is no surprise. But what's interesting is that the venture has the approval of the ruling Communist party, which wants to double investment in arts and culture over the course of its current five-year plan, which states that: "Culture is important for raising people's life happiness … and creating jobs".
The Chinese government is now ploughing money into building dozens of lavish theatres, opera houses, cinemas, museums and arts centres across the country. Seventy-three new venues have opened in the past five years, but the problem is that they don't have much to put in them. Mamma Mia and Cats currently make up the total sum of musical theatre in China. Centralised economies are good at building infrastructure but they're weak on creativity. Millions of Chinese are now entering the middle class, they're becoming consumers who want to spend money on their newfound leisure time – British creative industries need to seize the moment.
The British Council understands this and has been doing sterling work in China and Brazil. Last year it organised a festival in China called UK Now, which lasted over eight months and took place in 29 cities. It was an eclectic mix of concerts, both pop and classical, art exhibitions, dance, theatre, film and design with the aim of creating new opportunities and audiences for the UK's arts sector.
A good example of this working is the National Dance Company Wales. The first time the company visited China, it was organised by the British Council. When it returned last year for a five-city tour, it was with the backing of a Chinese promoter. So laying the foundations is crucial.
China is not an easy market to break into. Politics, cultural sensitivity and layers of bureaucracy make it a very slow process. Nick Allott, managing director of Cameron Mackintosh Ltd, spent 10 years putting in the groundwork for British musical theatre in China. He says the breakthrough has finally come with the emergence of private Chinese promoters.But there is still a huge gap in China when it comes to technical and management skills such as lighting and curating. The British Council has a scheme for training young Chinese here in the UK with a series of placements in our major arts institutions. Not only will they help build the arts infrastructure back home they will also be well disposed towards British imports in the future.
Naysayers will also raise the issue of rampant piracy as a reason for not doing business in China. There is no doubt it remains a huge problem. Only 3% of record sales in China are legal. But there are signs the government is beginning to crack down in a bid to develop the country's own music and film industry.
Exporting culture is also an extension of Britain's soft power. Having been a BBC foreign correspondent, I know at first hand the positive effect the BBC World Service has on Britain's reputation overseas. Contrary to the words of the Abba song, it's not all about money.
Kirsty Lang is presenting a special edition of Front Row on British arts in China on BBC Radio 4 today (Monday, 1 April) at 7.15pm

Hello again everyone.
Have you ever needed to find a piece of information that you know is right under your nose but you can't quite put your thumb on it? Well this week it happened to me.
I needed to look up something from the past tutorials of Partnership to Success. Now I do know that all the videos have descriptions. However, for the information I needed to find the video descriptions were not quite enough. So I spent quite a bit of time replaying the training videos starting from week one.
I did eventually find what I was searching for in Week 8 Tutorial Videos.
A thought popped into my head whilst I was searching. When I was blog commenting, which is something I do regularly, I read that another member was physically indexing the course. I am very sorry but I cannot remember who it was, but thank you for the idea. Using this idea I decided that I would do a similar thing only using software.
The piece of software that I am using is Scrivener. I have had this software for a few years now but have not used it since I finished my creative writing courses. When I loaded it up this week there was an update waiting to be downloaded and installed.
I decided to use Scrivener because it is so easy to use and I like the corkboard effect on my screen and I can see at a glance what I have covered so far.
The post cards that you see on the corkboard can be interchanged. Therefore if you were writing paragraphs for your post, you can move them around to your hearts contents. The cards of course are only the summaries that you see. Underneath each card is your actual written piece, whatever that may be.
It was only as I was indexing and recording did I appreciate just how much work John has put into this course of his. There is so much content in the course material that I think this indexing is going to take much longer than I thought it would.
Other Uses for Scrivener
I had actually forgotten how versatile the program is. There are many uses to which this program can be put: creative writing, poetry, auto biographies etc. I am actually thinking of using it for its original purpose – to write my eBook.
Let me just jump in here and tell you that I am not an affiliate for Scrivener. I have looked but I could not find an affiliates page.
Read all about it yourself at Scrivener
Until next time
Take care

Howdy y'all. It's been awhile since we last congregated, but the memories of our experiences are still fresh. Before they have a chance to fade, it would be great to find out what y'all have been up to over the break and since our departure. Julia sent out an email to everyone who signed the sheet that went around on the last day, but not everyone was there, so here is my attempt at trying to reunite everyone…
So I am having a party at my house in just over a week with live music from a few of my friends' bands. There will also be a keg. The house is full of art from a friend that Tory knows that we want to show off, as well as some experimentation with used materials (egg cartons, bottle caps, old packing supplies). The basement is being sound-proofed(ish) as we speak.
Here are the details:
Date: January 30th, 2010 — 7:00pm
Address: 1813 SE 60th Ave (across the street from Mt Tabor, between Hawthorne and Division)
Bands: The Abejas, The Weatherdeck Division, and Brass Clouds (check em on myspace)
If you need/want to contact me, find me on facebook. Otherwise, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Hope to see you there, and stay warm!

These resurrection rolls are a tasty way to remember the Easter story. I made these a few years ago for Easter lunch and everyone loved them, then I told them what they meant and they loved them even more.
It is a very simple recipe all you need is marshmallows, crescent rolls, cinnamon sugar and butter. Each element represents a part of the Easter story.
- The marshmallow represents Jesus.
- Butter represents the oils of embalming.
- The cinnamon sugar represents the spices in wich his body was anointed.
- Crescent rolls the tomb in which he was laid in.
- As the rolls bake the marshmallow melts away and the "tomb" is left empty, showing that He is risen.
It is a great activity to do as a family on Easter morning. As you do each step of the recipe you can tell the story of what happened and how these elements represent this amazing story. Then you get to enjoy the delicious cinnamon roll and rejoice in the fact that Jesus rose from the tomb.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|15 minutes
- Separate crescent rolls. Combine sugar and cinnamon into a bowl.
- Dip marshmallow into butter then cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place into center of triangle. Fold so that the marshamllow is covered. Pinch all seams together tightly to seal the marshamllow in. They should be little balls.
- Bake on a cookie sheet at 400F for about 15 minutes until golden on top.

For this first season, I'm documenting an 11,000 mile road trip I took through 18 countries, eight time zones, five mountain ranges, and a few deserts, from London to Mongolia in a ridiculously tiny car. I've always loved traveling and experiencing different cultures, and back when I worked in public radio, some of the best and most memorable experiences I had took place when I was reporting abroad, so I've decided to keep traveling and sharing my experiences with my listeners. I think the underlying theme of much of my work on the podcast is that nearly everywhere I go, people are generally more alike than they are different, so I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to include conversations and interactions I have with folks in such far-flung places at Iran, Russia, and Kazakhstan, to dispel stereotypes and show how fascinating and complex the world really is.
I've been a member of AIR for probably about 15 years now. It's been an excellent resource as I've delved into podcasting for the first time and sought answers to my many technical questions. I've also used the AIRdaily to get advice on what the reporting rules are in various countries and to connect with local fixers in places like Southeast Asia. It's so great to be part of this community!"
Origins Stories, Meredith Johnson
"Origin Stories is The Leakey Foundation's podcast about how we became human. We explore big questions about why we are the way we are. Who are we? What makes us different from chimpanzees? How and why did we start making art and music? We tell the stories behind the search for answers to these questions.
I love making this podcast! The science is fascinating and the scientists are amazing people to talk to. Looking at today's human experience by exploring our deep history makes me think about life very differently and I enjoy that perspective.
The AIR community has been essential for the production of Origin Stories. We are an AIRster team. Our editor is Julia Barton, sound design is by Katie McMurran, Shuka Kalantari is our associate producer. I started the show two years ago with AIR member Audrey Quinn as editor. She's now at WNYC, but she produced a wonderful episode for this season. We also use AIR to easily book tape syncs around the world."
The White Whale, Garrett Tiedmann
"As its description says, The White Whale is a place of audio and a place of ideas. I think about the episodes as spaces of listening, spaces of composition. I was formally trained as a composer and poet so I think about rhythm, the musicality of language, and moments of non-literal sound design that make for an empowered listening space. Making The White Whale is as much about sound, about the space of sound, as it is about the content of interview tape. I genuinely see each episode more like a piece of composition and think about it like a composer rather than a piece of audio journalism (though it is that as well).
It's a space of inquiry, seeing the podcast as an art form to interrogate and method from which to explore the mechanics of narrative as narrative. That's what's kept it in production for almost three years and what's built the ever growing audience. Joining AIR simply emboldened the ideas and the process, helping me connect with diverse communities who want to engage in thoughtful dialog and collaborate in ways that might push the needle just a little bit further. It doesn't fit into a lot of the boxes we've come to frame around podcasting, but from the beginning that's been its reason for being."

Running to Lose Weight – The 'One Percent to Success' Tip
Success in anything does not usually come overnight. Rather, it is a process that takes time, persistence, and sometimes even stubbornness.

About the MG TABC Group
The T-ABC Group can be considered a "car club", but as an online community we do not have meetings, dues or events. We see each other face to face only on the occasions that a few of us meet at some MG function.
The group began in March of 1998 when several TC owners began exchanging information via email. Over the next few weeks, word of the group spread. As others joined, it was expanded to include TA and TB owners as well. With about two dozen people now communicating, Walter Prechsl created a website to showcase technical articles and photos shared by various members.
By the next year, membership in the group had grown to the point that communication became difficult. Walter set up an email exchange through a server at his business which allowed a message to be sent to a single email address and reach all members of the group at once. The server was soon overwhelmed so in November 1999 it was moved to eGroups with Jim Shade managing the communication side of things. eGroups was purchased by Yahoo Groups in August 2000, and continued as the group's method of communication, with Walter's website being used for photos.
The T-ABC website he created originally included a gallery where members could submit photos and information about themselves and their cars. The site grew to include Parts Suppliers, Technical Articles, Special Files, Classified Ads, etc.
The next milestone came when someone suggested a car badge. A design contest was held, members voted, and the design created by Austin Baer was selected. Embroidered patches with the same design came soon after.
Yahoo Groups later added a photo storage area which was utilized by Jim as a supplement to the email list. With the Yahoo gallery activated, we could now post our own files and photos to the Yahoo site which made things easier on Walter. TABC member David Edgar had also been brought on board to take some of the workload off of Jim, who was until then managing the Yahoo Group site of things on his own.
By the group's 10th anniversary in 2008, we had 863 member in about 27 countries, with 300 badges and 100 patches sold. In 2009, member Steve Simmons also volunteered to help with the administration of the email list.
In 2012, Walter transferred ownership and care of the MG-TABC web site to Steve who over the next several months re-vamped the site and added a dedicated discussion forum. This site went live in January of 2013. Development of the site continues with input from its members, the MG-TABC community.
Now that you know a little more about us, we hope you join our group to help promote these cars, and ensure they remain for generations to come!

Weather in India
India is a very hot, colourful and diverse country that has consistent sunshine and very high temperatures throughout the year.
The climate varies from the north and south of India. The closer you are to the vast desert regions, the hotter it'll be. Tropical beach weather is more likely in the southwest, in places such as Goa.
The average temperature is around 25°C for most of the year, which makes India an ideal destination year-round. The hottest month is May, which has an average high of 33°C.
Summer heat is pleasant, but it can often be too hot for some. The best time to go to India is from November to February for slightly cooler temperatures.
The summer falls within monsoon season in India, which means heavy downpours are likely almost every day of the season. Showers can be quite heavy and July has an expected monthly rainfall of 1000mm.
The wet weather paired with the high temperatures of up to 30°C, means it can be very humid in the summer. The best time to visit India for less rainfall is in the dry season, which is warm and sunny with comfortable temperatures.

Logger's Lake - Whistler Area Trails
Logger's Lake is an amazing little lake hidden up in the deep forest above the more well known Cheakamus River. The lake, almost unbelievably exists in a long extinct volcano. However, as soon as you see the lake up close, you quickly come to believe it. The lake sits in an almost cartoonish looking, volcano-shaped bowl, with one side of the bowl a crumbling array of truck sized boulders leading down to the lake.
The crater that Logger's Lake sits in was a volcano that pushed through the glacial ice in this valley about 10000 years ago. As the lava cooled it formed the wonderful basalt ridge that is crumbling into valley.
As Logger's Lake sits deep in this ancient volcano's vent, it is sheltered from the wind and soaks up the suns rays into the dark boulders all around. As a result makes it the warmest lake in Whistler, though most other lakes around are glacier fed(via rivers and creeks), so the comparison is not entirely fair. The surrounding cliffs and forest also add to the tranquility of the lake. Located a bit off the radar for most and requiring a short logging road drive and then a very steep, but short hike to get to also contributes to its serenity.
This serenity is broken at least once a year, however, when a new tradition formed in 2012. A yearly "" began, where hundreds congregate at Logger's Lake, most with rubber boats for an outdoor party, DJ an all. But aside from that one hilarious day, Logger's Lake is a secret-feeling oasis.
Another, though unexpected draw to Logger's Lake, is its good fishing. Occasionally the lake is stocked with rainbow trout and because of the steep shoreline, casting from almost anywhere along the shore is easy and effective. There is also an ancient and disintegrating log that is a pier of sorts that leads to a tiny wooden platform out in the lake. A good spot to cast from as well, though you will be standing in a centimetre of water as the platform partially sinks under your weight.
Logger's Lake has a surprisingly large network of hiking trails around it. As the area was logged quite extensively in past decades, you often hike along trails near the lake that are in fact overgrown logging roads. The ridge directly behind you, if you are facing Logger's Lake and the log pier is an excellent place to hike. Appropriately named the Crater Rim Trail, this trail takes you quickly up to a tremendous vantage point over the lake.
Further along and up the ridge you reach the outer edge of the volcano vent and can look outward across the valley in the direction of Cheakamus Lake. The trail then bends to the right and ascends back towards Loggers Lake. Bearing left at the next junction takes you further along the Crater Rim Trail, while bearing right takes you back down to Logger's Lake.
Although the trails around Logger's Lake and especially the basalt ridge above the lake look amazing for camping, the Interpretive Forest prohibits camping. The area is exceptionally dry as compared to the rest of the valley and the risk of forest fire may be part of the reason for this. Also, the Interpretive Forest is dedicated as an experimental "ecosystem-based managed forest" and the inclusion of campsites may add to the recreational popularity of the area making future logging of this forest to be seen by the public as undesirable.
The Logger's Lake trails are part of the much larger network of trails known as the Whistler Interpretive Forest. Several named trails(see the map below) run throughout the forest and along the wild and crashing, Cheakamus River. The Riverside Trail and the Farside Trail are the two beautiful trails that run along either side of Cheakamus River. The Cheakamus River suspension bridge is just a 5 minute hike from the parking area for Logger's Lake. The suspension bridge is one end a 4 kilometre circle route that is a great way to see this amazing river.
There are several places to park in Whistler's Interpretive Forest, and all are very convenient to access the hiking and biking trails. The enormous Sea to Sky Trail passes through this area as well(see the map below). It is a beautiful hiking, biking, walking trail that runs throughout Whistler for over thirty kilometres. It is an amazing way to see Whistler as it passes some amazing sights as well as running directly through Whistler Village.
More Trails Near Logger's Lake
Cheakamus River is the beautiful, crashing and turquoise coloured river that flows from Cheakamus Lake, through the Cheakamus Valley to Daisy Lake. Also a popular kayaking route, the main attraction of Cheakamus River are the wonderful and quite extensive network of hiking and biking trails that run along and near it. 8 kilometres south of Whistler Village and surrounding the recently constructed neighbourhood of Cheakamus Crossing is Whistler Interpretive Forest. This beautiful forest surrounds the Cheakamus River and has been cut and replanted in several areas. Hiking and biking trails have sprung up over the years making the area a wonderful place to explore. Cheakamus Lake is a wonderfully relaxing way to get in the wilderness easily and quickly from . The trail begins on the far side of Whistler Mountain, 8 kilometres from the Sea to Sky Highway at Cheakamus Crossing across from Function Junction. This 8 kilometre stretch of logging road is fairly bumpy and potholed, but does have the benefit of allowing you to drive the elevation gain instead of hiking it. The 7 kilometre hiking trail to the lake is has very little elevation gain as the trail winds through the beautiful forest. Decades ago a train derailed south of Whistler. The cost to clean up the mess was evidently deemed too high, so seven train cars were left scattered next to the Cheakamus River. As it turns out, time and local effort has transformed this mess into a wonderful work of art, an extraordinary bike park, and a great place to hike. The Whistler Train Wreck. The whole length of the train wreck and Cheakamus River hike is 3 kilometres (each way) and the trails go along the beautiful river as well as several, widely spaced train wrecks.
Parking & Trailhead Directions for Logger's Lake
Logger's Lake is fairly easy to find as Whistler's Interpretive Forest has excellent road and trail signs. From Whistler Village drive south on the Sea to Sky Highway as if heading toward Vancouver. In 8 kilometres you will come to the Function Junction intersection. Turn left onto Cheakamus Lake Road, then in about 400 metres turn left onto the gravel road(Cheakamus East Forest Service Road on the map above). You will immediately come to a fork in the road. Take the right fork and almost immediately cross a beautiful, one lane vehicle bridge across the Cheakamus River. Follow the signs for Loggers Lake from here and you will come to the Logger's Lake parking area in 2 kilometres on your left. The trail to Logger's Lake begins on the other side of the road and is well marked with a trailhead sign and map. The hike up the hill is steep, but only takes about 5 minutes. The first trail you see on your left takes you up to the ridge above the lake and connects to the lake. The second trail you see, a few metres further on your left is the more direct route to the shore of the lake.

Alton native project manager for hometown Schnucks remodel
ALTON — Project engineer Kelly Jemison knew exactly what her neighborhood Schnucks needed, having lived in the city her whole life.
Jemison began working for Schnuck Markets Inc. 10 years ago and remodeled dozens of Schnucks stores since then, but one of her most memorable projects recently concluded at Schnucks Alton at 2811 Homer Adams Parkway. As a Schnuck Markets' project engineer, Jemison oversees every aspect of remodels from start to finish, which was no different with the Alton location remodel that began in July and finished just before Christmas. Customers and Alton Schnucks' "teammates" celebrated with a ribbon-cutting Thursday.
"The Alton store means a lot to me; it really needed it," said Jemison, 41, who graduated from Alton High School in 1990 and later from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a bachelor's in engineering. "It made such an impact to the customers, and it's my own hometown, so it meant a lot to me to be able to give the customers new amenities there."
One of many new amenities there includes one of the few Madison County Schnucks with a drive-up pharmacy. Also the pharmacy found a new location at the front of the store.
"It really helps customers because the old pharmacy was in the back of the store; it was small and dated," Jemison said. "This one we relocated to the front and expanded the department; it's pretty much the latest and greatest."
Now the expanded seafood department occupies the former pharmacy space. Schnucks' team members can prepare seafood to customers' likings while they shop with cook-to-order and fish-frying capabilities.
"It has all the latest equipment and new refrigerated cases," Jemison said.
A major component to the Alton Schnucks' remodel is a private space for customers.
"We installed new front customer restrooms that are state-of-the-art; it's a big hit with the customers," she said. "We changed the entire store environment with the new decor."
Even the dairy department has the latest design technology where its new home is the former seafood department. A walk-in cooler makes work more convenient for Schnucks' teammates in the back of the store. But the milk doors are new and dairy stock automatically replenishes when customers grab what they need from dairy case shelves.
"It's updated with new doors and all new cases," Jemison said.
Every major department received an update and remodel. Floral expanded with new lighting to highlight its gift products. The same occurred with bakery, deli and produce. The construction team laid new flooring throughout the store.
Jemison also oversaw the Godfrey Schnucks remodel about five years ago.
Last year she completed the Edwardsville Schnucks project and did an extreme remodel on the Granite City Schnucks with a whole new storefront. And at the same time as Alton Schnucks, Jemison oversaw the Pekin Schnucks remodel. She also has done two Springfield, Ill., Schnucks as well as several Missouri Schnucks and out-of-state projects, including in Tennessee and Indiana.
"Ms. Jemison is an example of a lifelong 'small town' woman who has a vested interest in the community's growth," Schnuck Markets spokeswoman Lori Willis said. "We think very highly of Ms. Jemison and hear nothing but wonderful things about the stores to which she's been assigned."
Jemison stayed close to the Alton Schnucks project, the construction team and customers through weekly project meetings at the store.
"They are a great team to work with; I saw customers basically any time at the store there several times a week," she said. "It was just exciting to hear the feedback and comments throughout the months the transition was being made. People would come up to me and tell me things, the project team would get comments, and of course the store managers."
Jemison is one of few women in her field and encourages girls to consider technology as a career.
"It is rare," she said. "We need more women and minorities in particular in engineering and fields of technology."
The 24-hour grocery store's service center closes at 10 p.m.; pharmacy hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
"We are excited for our Alton-area customers to see the store's amazing transformation including new décor and expanded services. Schnucks has been serving Alton for more than 40 years, and we believe investing in our stores and their communities is one of the best ways to celebrate our company's 75th anniversary in 2014," Chairman and CEO Scott Schnuck said.
Customers and teammates are raving about the new look and new shopping experience, Alton Schnucks store manager Paul Goforth said.
"Through generously sharing their requests and suggestions, our customers have helped to shape our new offerings," he said.

Yep, she's done this before but not to this magnitude, and luckily this time we didn't have a photo shoot planned. PHEW! What's the allure, anyway? She seems pretty proud of herself.
Please tell me this is normal. I just hope she doesn't end up like this guy when she grows up.

LOL!! She and Abby would have a good time together. Very artistic like her mama, Patty :) hahaReplyDelete
I don't know..... that man's kinda cute.
J/k. LOL
Hope it washes out well!
Christina... one word: eeeew!ReplyDelete
I don't know, we're headed to the bath right now. Will report on that later.
Em... I'm getting the Color Wonder markers as soon as I get to a store!
All my children also have the same fascination. Anytime my boys get markers out to color with they end up way more on them than on the paper. My 3 year old son understands how easy they are to wash off so when I get after him about writing all over himself he replies, "But Mom, they are washable." And this makes everything alright.ReplyDelete
Emma is not too this stage yet but we gave her a box of Crayons for Valentine's Day and she's already marked on the door frame! I am loving all the Color Wonder stuff that only works on certain paper. They have paint and markers. :) I don't get the window crayons though...doesn't that encourage a bad idea?! Window, wall, door?ReplyDelete
You'll have to check out Emma's new purse on my blog. lol There is one of her in her ModKid too but she was NOT HAPPY about it. I'll try again!

Man oh man, kids are just too creative sometimes. Yep, she may need to have Color Wonder markers only for awhile. Was she her only "casualty?" Hoping those scribbles didn't end up anywhere on your beautiful furnirure or nicely painted wall. HUGS Patty---you are a gem!ReplyDelete
Okay sorry, but I just had to laugh!!! She's quite the creative cat! And she's colorful :)ReplyDelete
Ohmygosh... that is so adorable! Seriously... I love it. Of course I don't have to give your little Kat Von D a bath!ReplyDelete
hee hee... thanks!ReplyDelete
at least ONE of those markers was NOT washable...eeeek! The green came off immediately, and the orange took some rubbing but eventually came off, now, the purple (and maybe some blue) is still on there even after vigorous rubbing with soap and warm water. Oh well! I need to go through their "art supplies" and do some major purging!
Normal, normal, normal....also why we keep the markers in a secure location! Ever wonder what's going on in their minds while their just drawing away?ReplyDelete
Aww, hee hee! She looks so proud of herself, and too cute to stay mad at :)ReplyDelete
Too funny - what a mess!ReplyDelete
Oh I know the feeling. My daughter smeared Vaseline all over her hair on a day we did have a photo shoot planned. Argh...It took 8 washings with 4 differnt soaps to get it out. Cornstarch finally did the trick.ReplyDelete
Yes, Color Wonder is wonderful!

Portuguese Surnames in America: dos Passos and Pereira
Again, per Miguel Oliveira's book on John Dos Passos as immigrant, many Portuguese-American immigrants change their surnames to assimilate into American culture.

Super-famous American singer, Steve Perry, the voice of Journey and "Don't Stop Believin'," was born in Hanford,… Read more »

I haven't the faintest notion whether I have succeeded or failed,… Read more »
Possible Influence on Bruce Springsteen
From the staff at Ultimate Classic Rock: "I think in the three years between Born to Run and Darkness, he'd [Bruce Springsteen] simply learned a lot. He spent a great deal of time in court, for one thing; he began listening to Hank Williams and old-time, class-conscious country music. He'd seen the films of John… Read more »
Dos Passos and Tolstoy
Another discovery in re-reading the 2 biographies of John Dos Passos–his fondness of Tolstoy's War and Peace. He gave a copy of it to his goddaughter Susan Lowndes for her 13th birthday (Maybe a bit too soon). He advised, "If you've already read it, read it again–I always get something new out of it." Summer… Read more »
Dos Passos Reports at Nuremberg
Research for my speech has sharpened my appreciation for my grandfather's prestigious reporting career. For example, Dos Passos' observations of the Nuremberg trials in fall 1945. "Except for Hess, who slumps as if in a coma, the accused have an easy expectant look as if they had come to see the play rather than to… Read more »
Dos Passos and Democracy
"War is a time of Caesars," wrote John Dos Passos in The Grand Design (1949). As I study biographical material for my Lisbon speech, I'm noticing material I can use for an essay I've long wanted to write about John Dos Passos and democracy. There is very little scholarship about him as a historian or… Read more »
H.G. Wells
Interesting discovery for me. In fall 1941, John Dos Passos met fellow writer H.G. Wells in London at the PEN Club congress. Dos Passos then visited with Wells as his home at the edge of Regents Park. He very much enjoyed Wells' company, describing him as a "spruce figure…his sharp-clipped white mustache and the liquid… Read more »

Farewell, Roslyn Targ
Rest in peace Roslyn Targ, influential New York literary agent. She died a couple days ago at age 92. She faithfully represented the foreign rights of John Dos Passos, my grandfather, for many years. Now those rights are very capably represented by the Jane Rotrosen Agency.

Jenoptik acquires Five Lakes Automation LLC.
The US company is specialized in process automation for the automotive industry. In combination with its laser machine business the acquisition enables Jenoptik to tap growth potential within the US market.
Jenoptik has acquired 100 percent of the US company Five Lakes Automation (FLA). All conditions precedent for the transaction are fulfilled as of today.
FLA was founded in 2013 and is a full-service turnkey provider of complex automated manufacturing solutions. The company plans and designs automated production lines and integrates them in the customer's environment including all production systems. The services and products around process engineering and implementation of automated manufacturing solutions include for example design, system layout, simulation, controls hardware and software design, robotic handling systems as well as transfer devices. FLA has specific expertise in the joining of complex metal components, especially welding systems. Customers include leading US car manufacturers and automotive suppliers. Headquarters is Novi, Michigan and thus close to the new technology campus in Rochester Hills, the US location of Jenoptik Automotive.
With the FLA know-how Jenoptik will develop from a machine supplier to an integrated specialist for metal and plastic processing
While Jenoptik is specialized in efficient, precise and safe 3D laser processing, FLA contributes comprehensive experience in the handling of devices and the integration of individual production systems into automated process lines.
"The acquisition allows us to win new know-how around automated production and new customers because not only can we offer stand-alone machines now but complete process solutions from a single source," stated Stefan Traeger, President & CEO of JENOPTIK AG.
FLA benefits from the worldwide presence and the financial strength of the Jenoptik Group. "We are glad to have found a strong partner in Jenoptik that does not only complement our process know-how and specialization productwise but which will also allow us to open up new markets and industries," added President of FLA Keith LaPointe, who is also one of the founders of FLA. He will merge the competencies of Jenoptik's laser machine business and the process know-how of his company and will be responsible for the Laser Processing business unit of Jenoptik in North America in future.
In May this year Jenoptik inaugurated its new 14m euro technology campus in Rochester Hills. Around 110 Jenoptik employees develop, manufacture and assemble modern metrology and laser machines for the American automotive industry. The new facility with around 9.300 square meters has been geared to growth, offering free production space to be used in part for future process automation projects.
About Jenoptik
As an integrated photonics group, Jenoptik operates in the Optics & Life Sciences, Mobility and Defense & Civil Systems segments. Jenoptik's Automotive unit is a leading manufacturer of production metrology and 3D laser systems. The laser systems are integrated into customer production lines as part of process optimisation and automation. They machine plastics, metals and leather with maximum efficiency, precision and safety.

It's another beautiful day today and guess what, I've got the scoop on an affair dating site that I've recently tested out. It's called the Affairs Club and it's an adult hookup site for people that want to cheat. The site has millions of users. In fact, over 5 million I think if I had to guess. The majority of those users seemed to be active and the site is abundant in features, modes of communication, and useful tools.
It just might be the perfect site for those looking to have an affair on the down low without jeopardizing their relationship. It's destination for married people looking for discreet affairs. These members may be able to find people of all personalities and sexual preferences if they search hard enough. But first, find out if this site is truly worth joining or if there's something better out there for you to use. The sign-up process is quite simple, the site is very easy to navigate, and the upgrade option is available. Don't make any moves just yet, read my review before doing anything.
Complete Investigation Of Affairs Club After Using It For Three Weeks
Let me first talk about the registration process and everything involved in becoming a member. The sign-up process is quicker than most. The registration is straightforward, and members have a couple of things that they need to provide. First, they must provide basic information, such as date of birth, preferred username, and a valid e-mail account. After confirming the e-mail account, users are welcome to use all of the site's extensive features. I spent most of my time just looking for hot milfs to play with.
Using The Site
Using Affairs Club was pretty easy. Navigating is super simple and doesn't require much effort. The layout of the site is intuitive, easy-to-use, and up-to-date. Moreover, the design is also fun and available in a lovely combination of purple, black, and green. All main content sections can be found all on the top page, including Mail, Searches, Videos, Account Options, and the likes. Most of these sections are drop-down menus with additional content. The perks are the basic and advanced searches that can be filtered by body type, age, race, hair color, sexual preferences, and other.
Membership Features
With so many active users on the site, members here will be pleased to see how many extensive features the website has to offer. There are several modes of communication, including chat rooms, emailing, instant messages, and voice messaging. Furthermore, members can perform basic and advanced searches filtered by various criteria like body type, hair color, race, age, location, and the likes. There are also dating advice, local fuck chat options, which are way better than this site, webcams, and lastly hot amateur homemade videos. Users can also post a sexy, fun status in the status bar.
Affair Partners
With a vast member database with thousands of active users at all times, finding a date here won't be much trouble. Members can browse profiles, view photo galleries, and allow members to view their profile or limit it to certain users. Members here will most certainly find someone to talk dirty, have fun, and eventually hook up. Users are suggested to complete their profiles with basic info about themselves, including bio, interests, hobbies, lifestyle, and other.
Most importantly, members need to be persistent, confident, and relaxed in order to have that sexual encounter they'll never regret or forget. Having said that, I'll tell you that I typically always complete my profiles to the fullest extent possible because I know what it does to increase my chances of having sex. Not to mention, it honestly seems to have a positive impact on the number of sextexting conversations in-app that I have with these lonely wives.
Safety And Customer Support
If you don't know by now, safety and customer support are two areas that I do not take lightly. All members need to be 18 years of age or older in order to join the site. According to the site's Terms and Conditions, all payments are processed safely and confidentially. The greatest perk is that members here won't find a large number of fabricated profiles, but rather profiles of real-life people who are looking for an adventure. All paid subscription fees are non-refundable. There are also features and software installed in many site sections to make users have a safe, pleasant, and relaxed experience.
Company Contact
Need to connect with the company? Here's all the information that you need:

Affairs Club offers a few options for those looking to try the site out. Here are some of the subscriptions that they offer:
Basic: The Basic membership that is free of charge and offers a sneak peek into some of the site's cool features. All members can join for free and publish their profile, upload pictures, view personality tests, and search the database.
Silver: The Silver membership costs $29.95 each month, or $59.95 for three months. With this subscription, members can view full profiles, look at photos of other members, send e-mails, and use advanced searches.
Gold: The Gold membership costs $34.95 each month, or $69.95 for three months, plus one additional month for free. With this type of subscription, members can get up to 15 matches, use the complete cupid service, be featured on lists, and have an increased chance of getting noticed and contacted.
Are the prices fair? I'd say they are but there are other sites out there that are cheaper and more effective.
Conclusion: Affairs Club Might Work But I Prefer Other Cheating Websites To Discreetly Hookup
Like I said, this Affairs Club website just might work, but there are way better sites that exist out there today. Having said that, I've been able to connect with more women looking to have affairs using a simple adult dating network run by a company called GP Media. They run some of the best hook up sites on the Internet and I can't think of a better way I'd like to spend my time than meeting up with some horny milfs looking to bang a bunch of guys in extra-marital affairs. It simply sounds more fantastic than anything I've ever experienced.
When in doubt, try one of the sites listed below…

Ridge Zinfandel Lytton Springs 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
96 points Connoisseurs' Guide: This winery's mastery of Zinfandel is once again evident here, and, if showing the richness and depth that we anticipate from Lytton Springs bottlings, this wine is keenly composed and comes with a little more polish than usual. It is young, it is incisively fruity and it is well-filled, and it forgoes bombast and flashiness for structured precision and great ageability. (Jan 2012)
Editorial Reviews for Ridge Zinfandel Lytton Springs
A nose dominated by creamy vanilla oak, ash and leather shows faint hints of wild raspberry and dried strawberry fruit. On entry, this is smooth and seamless, a bit creamy and a touch soft for my palate, but it does deliver slow to build yet beautifully balanced flavors of plum, black cherry and a nice nutty accent. There is a lot of oak here, no doubt about that, and the oak tannins are a bit out of balance today, but this has the balance to age well for quite a long time. There's a nice richness to the underlying fruit and already an emerging complexity accenting the plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruit on the back end. Elegant and finely balanced, though this needs 2-4 years for the wood to integrate. 89pts
Member Reviews for Ridge Zinfandel Lytton SpringsAdd your review
Very pleasant, mouth-filling wine. Not a wild over-the-top PS. A very tame, civilized in-the-claret-style wine. Very tame berry flavors, some earthiness and it takes a couple sips for the tanning to sneak up on you. My guess is that this wine could age for several years, but it it excellent right now. US$27.99 at Ti Time in Costa Mesa.
Very big nose--somewhat spicy, maybe something like berry preserves, some earth. Multidimension in the mouth. A little berry fruit on the tip of the tongue, but the initial impression is softness, not blockbuster Zin. Velvety smooth as it travels over the palate, but then with some tannin around the edges. Nice lingering finish. US$26.99 at Total Wines
Very strong jammy plummy aromas. Some gamey meats and iron. Solid acidity on the palate with nice dark fruit components.
The nose showed red wild berries, a dusting of cinnamon sugar, hints of minerals and herbs, and a whiff of dark baker's chocolate. On the palate, it was beautifully balanced and elegant with a firm start and juicy finish. Ripe red and blue fruits went from sweet to tart as it flowed across the palate. The finish was long and spicy. (92 points)
On the nose, delightful notes of black cherry, tar and licorice that is a welcomed precursor to the taste. Just the right amount of fruit with a dash of pepper and a good amount of acidity and lip tickling tannins lead me to believe this wine will age well and be even more drinkable in ten years or more.
I've read many positive reviews for this wine across a number of wine blogs. My experience differs from the consensus and has me doubting my own connoisseurship. A flat, uncomplicated nose. But plenty of immediate zip on palate, bursting with plum tart cookie, strawberry and canned cranberry. All good and well but oakiness turns off the fruit almost immediately. Certainly not the vinyardian wizardry we've come to expect from Ridge. This wine may just need more time. Buy at your own peril.
Four glasses
External Reviews for Ridge Zinfandel Lytton Springs
Exotic aromas of Chinese five-spice, toasty oak and plum lead to concentrated blueberry, tobacco and licorice notes that take on a rustic grip of tannins on the finish. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, Grenache and Mataro. Best from 2008 through 2012.
" The 2009 Lytton Springs is the biggest and most structured of these 2009 Zinfandel-based reds
licorice and smoke are some of the notes that flow from this generous
21% Petite Sirah and 5% Carignane. "\
Bright medium red. Red berries, rose petal and exotic spices on the nose. Then juicy, peppery and distinctly dry in the mouth, with a leanness to the red berry flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and a building dryness.
A terrific blend from winemaker Paul Draper, this concoction of 50% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 15% Carignan, 11% Mourvedre, and 9% Grenache tips the scales at 14.1%. A California Rhone Valley look-alike, it boasts loads of raspberry, black cherry, and currant fruit, excellent density, and a sweet, glycerin-imbued mouthfeel offering charm, succulence, and loads of character. This medium to full-bodied, voluptuous, sexy red is ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years.
Itrsquo;s bright and tasty. I definitely donrsquo;t like as lot of zins; usually the color is so dense that canrsquo;t even see through it. Here, the alcohol is low enough. Itrsquo;s very refreshing for a zinfandel, not at all over the top. It has some carignan, which seems to lighten it up a bit.

Texas Location: Marfa & Brackettville Ranches
Ancient Country of Origin: Russia and Eastern Europe
Introduced to US Mainland: From the Caribbean by Spanish Explorers
Name Variations: Russian Boar, Europian Boar
Feral Hogs are tough with a very nasty temper. They are an ancient species, which were thought to evolve in Europe and Russia. This is why the species is also known as the European Boar and the Russian Boar. They have been on this Earth for hundreds of thousands of years and have survived many ice ages. This makes them a challenging and a potentially dangerous animal to hunt. Archeologists have discovered that the wild boar has been feared and worshiped by many cultures dating back to 7000 BC. They are also prized for their fantastic tasting meat. Many hunters describe their meat as lean-&-low-fat pork.
The population of Feral Hog in Texas is steadily rising with many individual Texas Counties reporting as many as 20,000 hogs. It is estimated that there are over one million feral Hogs in Texas. There have been confirmed claims of hogs reaching 800 pounds but most Feral hogs seen by hunters on our ranch are between 100 and 400 pounds. The Russian strain, known as the Russian Boar, is the most rare and considered the top prize for seasoned boar hunters.
Hunting for hogs on our ranch is done in the safety of our tree stands, Feral Hog can be harvested in conjunction with an antelope or Mule Deer hunt. Our accommodations are clean, well equipped and have all the comforts of home.
