A couple of upcoming conventions worth noting — CatholiCon and CNMC.
CatholiCon 2011
CatholiCon will be taking place August 26-28, 2011 in Houston, Texas. The illustrious Father Z. is a scheduled speaker! Clare-Camp includes a religious and tech track — although it'd be nice to bi-locate and attend both.
Here's a bit more about CatholiCon…
Since the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago, she has always sought to use all forms of human communication to advance Our Lord's command to make disciples of all nations. CatholiCon brings all of the traditional forms in which The Church commuicates as well as the new forms of media that bring the Gospel to the emerging Digital Continent.
In addition to Sacred Chant, Art, and the Liturgy, we'll also explore the New Evangelization as it is taking place in podcasting, vidcasting, blogging, and social networking.
It'll be expo style, which means that attendees will be able to browse the floor, looking at the latest in new media gadgetry, hang out in a coffeebar environment, or attend the keynotes and workshops.
Looks like a great event!
Catholic New Media Celebration 2010
Just around the corner we have the CNMC on August 7, 2010, taking place in Boston, Massachusetts. They've got an outstanding collection of New Media folks who'll be presenting.
The Catholic New Media Celebration (CNMC) is an international conference which focuses on evangelization of the Roman Catholic faith using new media. It is a day to Learn, Share, and Explore how New Media can help the Catholic Church in the New Evangelization called for by Pope John Paul II.
The conference is sponsored by the Star Quest Production Network, a non-profit corporation with the goal of reaching out to the secular world in faith.
The goals of the conference are;
- To support and enhance evangelization through the use of New Media
- To provide information and support for New Media Producers
- To foster community among producers and consumers of Catholic New Media
Sounds like registration has ended and the event is full, although they do have a waiting list.

Amid charges that Mitt Romney's Afghanistan policy is, as Foreign Policy recently put it, "unclear and confusing," Romney campaign adviser Tara Wall on MSNBC this morning could not provide any details on what presumptive GOP presidential nominee plans to do about the war there should he become president.
Noting that Romney is about to embark on a short trip abroad later this month, host Luke Russert relayed a recent report that two top Republican senators couldn't explain Romney's Afghanistan policy and wondered if he has to be more specific. At first, Wall appeared confused, eventually saying — and in keeping with the Romney campaign's reported policy — she didn't want to "get into the details" and then tried to shift the conversation back to the economy:
RUSSERT: He was asked by the media what Mr. Romney's Afghanistan policy [is] and he goes, "What is it?" a Romney supporter and senior member of the Armed Services Committee said. "I think [Romney's policy is] 'listen to the commanders' and if it's that, that's OK with me." Does Mitt Romney have to have a more specific policy in Afghanistan prior to going on to this trip?
WALL: Well, you know, look, I think that overall — [pause] — overall, Gov. Romney has been clear about his plans and about this trip and about what his goals are and I think that when you look at protecting and securing the homeland, I think that that is, that's something that he has articulated over and over again. I'm not going to get into the details of that, I'm here to talk about, again, once again, the job situation, the economy, growth that we need and what this governor is planning on doing in that regard.
Watch the clip:
Perhaps Wall was confused about Romney's Afghanistan policy because it is indeed very confusing. As the Washington Post reported late last year, Romney "has not explained what he thinks the U.S. mission in Afghanistan is at this point and what would constitute success."
When Foreign Policy asked Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) last week what he thought Romney's Afghanistan policy is, the Arizona Republican was equally bemused. "You would have to tell me what exactly you mean by 'his policy.' That's a long discussion that I don't want to get into," he said.

Perry Gruber Limited is a socially responsible entertainment and educational professional speaking company. This is the second of three contests for creating the brand. As the principal talent, I'm looking for an integrated design that will convey the Perry Gruber Limited brand across many needs. This contest is for the web site. Another separate contest for my printed material will be launched once the winner of this design contest is selected. As a website, I'm looking for something highly unique, that will be artistically inspiring and energetic, but elegantly simple, not over the top. Coding is not required.
Perry Gruber Limited
Perry Gruber Limited is a social entrepreneurial venture whose business objective is to socially engineer human culture by increasing the number of people living lives of deep conscious awareness of their connectedness to themselves, their fellow living creatures and their environment. We believe individuals who have transcended their egos and are living lives from deep conscious awareness can have a profound impact on humanity's future and the planet's future too. We believe this is critical if humanity is to fully take advantage of new opportunities future technologies will offer us.
Our first market offerings are speeches, workshops, seminars, published articles of our work and philosophy and special events that introduce people to and inspire them to connect with their deep conscious awareness leading to six behaviors we believe are critical to humanity's survival:
1. A commitment to reduced material consumption
2. A commitment to reduce the pursuit of physical and emotional egoic needs and desires
3. Increased commitment to environmental stewardship and behavior changes that stem from it, reflecting an awareness that we and the environment are one
4. Increased affinity and relatedness to the plight of one's fellow human beings through spiritual practice
5. A choice to pursue a life free of suffering of all kinds for self and others
6. Increased joy and passion for life resulting from reconnecting with one's conscious awareness
THIS INFORMATION IS CRITICAL, PLEASE READ: I'm looking for a simple website design that will support overall mission and our brand in the first phase of our launch, something highly unique, artistically, that will be inspiring and energetic, and set us off from other speakers' websites, but elegantly simple, too, not over the top. My content is entertaining, eye-opening, educational and inspirational so the website must be exciting and dynamic, but it also must speak to the characteristics mentioned in the "wants" section below. As well, it should represent both the nature of our work and the nature of a professional lecturer, public speaker and writer. The web design must also play off the logo design, which is included for your reference. I'm attaching pictures of myself to give you an idea of the character and energy this site should communicate. However, these aren't the pictures for the site. I'm having professionally shot pictures done next month. Please recall the content mentioned above in the background, this site is about delivering content that his highly transformative in nature and is meant to cause transformation in the world.
As a reference, you may want to visit these two sites to get ideas, but don't copy them….While they're ok, I'm looking for something more edgy and futuristic, but, again, not over the top.
Your design should key off the logo. Do not just throw the logo on so it looks like an after thougth. This is my brand and I want to become the main identity for the company. Here's a link to a picture of the Perry Gruber Limited Logo:
The site must be able to load quickly. It must be able to integrate You Tube videos and audio files into the design. These files will be demonstrations of my speaker engagements. It must also be able to include an e-commerce component in the future, but not right now.
The site needs to be easy to navigate, clear, and yet lively and energetic. Primary users of the site will be those looking to hire me for their events. So the site will be primarily a selling tool and a place for prospective "customers" to get more information to help them choose to book me for their events.
The tagline "Build community, leave a legacy, create the future....Let's do it differently." Should be included near the top of the website as it is the company tagline. Also, prominently displayed should be the subject matter our talent speaks to:
• Unique perspective on Leadership
• Conscious Awareness in action
• Technology and its implications for humanity
Website contents: If you can do all this on one page, it would be better. Remember, though simplicity of design is the key at this point in our launch, let's also try to build a design that inspires! Here's the content I'm looking for:
On the home page – basically a reproduction of what will be on our brochure/one sheet promo piece: introducing Perry Gruber the speaker, his content, his unique selling point and a couple of pictures.
About Perry Gruber and what he offers – details on the subject matter, examples of speeches, client examples, and bio.
Booking information – a section or page or link where a potential client can make a request for more information or to inquire about hiring us. This section also will lay out fee schedule.
Testimonials – a section for past clients who we have wowed with our delivery
Our contact information – How to reach us
Links to PDFs of our printed material including publicity pictures to download, articles we will have written and copies of our speeches, etc.
Link to Perry's blog:
A FAQ section
Essentially, I want simple, yet edgy elegance.
I'm not a New Age speaker, so no galaxies, mandalas, buddhas, bamboo, unicorns or anything else conveying allegiance to the New Age or spiritual movement.
Please no religious connotations, we are not a religious organization
No cartoons, please

fess up friday - sarah m. dorsey designs
Hi Little Black Door friends! I'm Sarah from Sarah M. Dorsey Designs and I'm so excited to be here today! I adore Elizabeth's blog, so it's such an honor!!
When we moved to Ohio from California, we quickly realized that our only options would be a furnished apartment/house. We're on blustery Lake Erie, so it's busy during the summer and practically vacant in the winter. The area is almost all (kitschy nautical themed) furnished vacation homes. One criteria in our search was a 2 bedroom .. so we could shove most of the furnishings in there.
So the guest room has turned into storage for the existing furniture and my thrifted finds while in Ohio. Coming from California - land of horrible thrifting to Ohio - land of plenty for oh so cheap, I got a little excited ...
Here's what came with the place ..
and here are my finds since I've been here (plus some project supplies).
It's not pretty, but it works while we don't have a garage! We're moving in a few short weeks, so hopefully I'll have a better location to store my finds!
Check out my DIY projects page and home tour for something a little more pretty :) and feel free to stop by my blog and say hi! I'd love to meet you!
Thanks so much for having me today Elizabeth!

Hi Sarah, I just love how you created a garage out of your spare bedroom. It looks like you have some really fun projects in the works. Off to check out your blog. E- congrats on winning Kim's giveaway!ReplyDelete
No judgment here at all! When you see something good (and cheap) while thrifting, you kind of HAVE to buy it and find a place for it later!ReplyDelete
Congrats on being an BHG Makeover Madness finalist, Sarah!
Oh! I think I have the mate to that chair in the lower left corner. I picked it up at a Salvation Army store for $20. I would love to see what you do with it.ReplyDelete
Now I don't feel so bad about my confession last week. Love Sarah!ReplyDelete
This makes perfect sense. How many more times will you go thrifting before you move???? You've found a thrift store hotspot; better take advantage of it. Love your creativity in re-imagining some of your finds.ReplyDelete
love it! way to keep it real and it does make total sense!ReplyDelete
I love that so many finds are so inexpensive! I want to go thrifting with you!ReplyDelete
I love it when you sweet talk me! It makes my day!
And please make sure you leave an email address so we can keep the convo going.

What: February was a month that Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) investors will want to forget after a downdraft of negative news sent its stock reeling by double digits.
So what: Marathon's fourth-quarter earnings report was one of the many things that weighed on the stock last month. That's after the company reported an adjusted loss of $323 million, or $0.48 per share, due to weaker oil and gas prices. That loss came despite the fact that, operationally, the quarter was actually quite strong all things considered, with its production up 8% for the year, while its production costs slumped 28% and its general and administrative costs plunged 40%.
That progress aside, the company spent more money than it brought in last year, which is forcing it to make deep cuts in 2016. The biggest cut is in capex, which is expected to fall 50% in 2016, resulting in its production dropping by 6% to 8%. In other words, all its growth spending in 2015 will be for naught. That said, Marathon is far from the only driller to throw in the towel on growth, with Apache (NYSE:APA) likewise cutting its 2016 capex budget so that its production will decline. In fact, Apache's production is expected to drop by an even steeper 7% to 11% this year, largely because it's aiming to invest within cash flow, while Marathon plans to use asset sales to bridge its spending gap.
Marathon's outspending ways hasn't earned it much favor with its credit rating agencies, with both Moody's and S&P downgrading its credit rating last month. Moody's was particularly harsh, cutting its rating by three notches from Baa1 to Ba1, which puts it in junk territory. That was much steeper than the two-notch cut it made on Apache, enabling it to maintain an investment grade rating.
Now what: The oil market downturn is having a big impact on Marathon Oil's financial situation. That was evident in its fourth-quarter report, which showed a steep loss despite higher production and lower costs. Unfortunately, 2016 isn't shaping up to be any better, with the company no longer having the financial resources to grow its production. Suffice it to say, it needs to capture more improvements in order to prevent its financial situation from deteriorating any further.

Life has ways of making things complicated, don't you think? We're bopping along, doing our own thing, thinking we've got it all under control, and then stuff happens. You know the kind of stuff I mean - it pops up out of nowhere and gives you one more thing to worry about while you were already juggling pretty much everything you could handle. And then a few more things come along and before you know it, your juggling capacity has increased and you learn that you were stronger than you thought. It's a great life lesson and so forth, but then you realize that you've got to put some of those things down or pretty much have a nervous breakdown.
I see you nodding - yeah, you've been there too. I can tell.
Life's been doing that to me a lot lately. I'm delegating as fast as I can with one hand while juggling everything else in the other, and it's been a pretty frisky game. This last month has presented some additional health challenges for me, my family, and some extended family, and we've had to put everything else on hold and just deal with those. In the middle of that, I'm still editing up a blue streak and we were just put in as Webelos leaders and trying to keep up with kids' activities ... and stuff ... and yeah. It's been crazy.
And in the middle of all that, I realized that I haven't been writing.
You might think differently - after all, I've released a fair number of books in the last few years. And that's awesome. But I'm not spending the time I should on doing the thing that keeps my well filled. Writing does that for me - it keeps me focused and sane and on target, and when I don't make the time for it, everything else goes out of alignment.
But when am I supposed to do it? I have a family that I love - they need me. I have a career that I love - it needs me. I have other obligations that I enjoy (and some that I do because they're obligations, hence the word) and then someone has to do the grocery shopping - the groceries won't shop themselves. Where do I fit it in? How do I make it work?
I was thinking about it last night and realized something. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I give 10% of my income to the Church. This is used to help build temples and church buildings all over the world, and I know that I am blessed for doing it. In fact, when I give that money away, I find myself even better able to meet my financial obligations - it doesn't make sense on paper, but it happens over and over again and I don't question it. And so then my thoughts continued along the same vein - if giving 10% of my money to a cause that I love helps me financially, not only because I'm blessed but because it helps make me a better steward, what would happen if I set aside certain amounts of writing time that are just mine?
So I'm launching a new plan. An awesome, experimental, maybe goofy plan. Every Monday night from nine to midnight is Tristi Writing Time. I'll work hard to get my other stuff finished up beforehand and then give myself those three hours a week to write whatever I want to. I've tried working it in here and there, but stuff always comes up and I don't stick to my guns like I should, so now, by implementing a certain time just for my own books, maybe I can create a routine and get it down to a system.
We'll see how it goes. :) In the meantime, I'm excited to give it a try.

A New Plan

Brilliant! I love it, Tristi. Dedicated time to fill your well.
- Rachel said...
Good for you, Tristi. If I don't make time to write I go insane, so I know what you mean.
- Leslie said...
It sounds like a great plan! One I might have to copy because I'm struggling to get any writing time either.
- Lori Folkman said...
Great idea Tristi! I hope you can stay awake! :)
- Tristi Pinkston said...
Staying awake's not the problem, Lori - I'm usually up that late. It's carving out the time and holding that boundary that is the tricky part.

Stocks sold off sharply Tuesday with investors punishing commodities, tech and banks, broadly.
Two major catalysts sent investors running for the exits:
- Financial woes again surfaced in Europe. This time its Ireland that needs a bailout – as much as $100 billion euro.
- Reports surfaced that China intends to implement food price controls and crack down on commodity speculation.
With the Street in 'sell first and ask questions later' mode, the Dow broke below 11,000 and the S&P traded near its 50-day moving average of 1165.
Are 2010 market gains behind us? How should you position now?
Instant Insights with the Fast Money traders
I suspect active money managers are responsible for the sharp sell-off on Tuesday, says Joe Terranova. Into QE, the Street had been overweight and now they're getting off the ride. As a result I believe the best of this year's gains are likely behind us.
However, the widely held belief that the Bush tax cuts will be extended by Congress will probably put a floor under stocks too. As a results I think we're stuck in a range. I wouldn't buy this pullback, instead I'd wait for January.

In a story here, wrongfully convicted high school football star Brian Banks is seeking $219,000.00 from the State of California for his imprisonment based on a wrongful conviction. California passed a statute that permitted exonerated convicts to be paid a maximum of $100 for each day they were wrongfully convicted and confined. You can read the horrific facts of his ordeal reported here.
What I find interesting is that the DA's office sought a conviction of Banks without any physical evidence except Wanetta Gibson's word. You would think obtaining a rape conviction would be a tough case to prove, but the DA's office pursued charges against Brian Banks, whose defense attorney talked him into a plea deal out of fear that a jury would assume Banks was guilty because he was a big black teenager.
With regards to Wanetta Gibson's false statement in which she was paid $1.5 million?
Los Angeles prosecutors have said it is unlikely Gibson will be charged with making false accusations, saying it would be a tough case to prove.
Let that sink in. The DA had no problem charging Brian Banks where there was no physical evidence in a he said/she said case where some of the things she was saying did not make sense. For instance, no DNA was found in her rape kit because she said Banks "wiped the semen off with a towel." Any DNA expert would say that makes no sense. Sounds like a pretty difficult case, right? But, when it comes to prosecuting a woman who admitted on tape that no rape or kidnapping occurred, the DA believes that is a "tough case to prove." Therefore, they cannot bring charges against her.
So, there are two lessons the Los Angeles County DA's office is teaching based on their actions in regards to Banks and Gibson. First, to the falsely accused: Do not plead guilty to something you did not do. There are decisions that the client makes, and there are decisions that the attorney makes. Your choice of plea is a decision you make as a client. No attorney can force their client into pleading guilty, even if the client is guilty. If your defense attorney tries to talk you into pleading guilty where you are innocent, then maybe it is time to find or request a new defense attorney from the public defenders office.
Second, to false accusers: You can lie about kidnapping and sexual assault that results in a man being confined for five years and two months, get paid $1.5 million dollars for injuries you did not suffer, admit on tape that there was no rape or kidnapping, and never face a criminal prosecution for lying to the police.
If there is a statute of limitations issue with regards to a criminal offense of lying to the police, then I can understand why that would be a tough case to prove. But, that would be the only reason. Otherwise, the Los Angeles County's DA has shown that it will aggressively prosecute sexual offenses without definitive evidence of guilt, but let criminal liars off the hook where there is overwhelming evidence of guilt. They should be ashamed.

United fail in Ander Herrera pursuit
Manchester United saw their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera end in failure, with a deal falling down late in the transfer window.
• Payne: Farce at United
Despite United initially agreeing to pay the €36 million required to bring in the midfielder, sources have said that a series of technical issues because of Spanish tax laws left the English champions scrambling to re-negotiate.
It is understood that, as a consequence of that red tape, the English champions missed out because of a figure of around €6 million.
United had a squad number assigned for the player and personal terms agreed, with Herrera even agreeing to take a pay-cut. Despite the failure, it seems likely United will go back in for the 24-year-old in January.
Only adding to the sense of confusion, a controversy has arisen over three figures who attempted to interfere in the deal but have been described by sources as "imposters".

All in all, parents at Canfield and Crescent Heights Elementary School are quite pleased with the past year. Test scores for third- and fifth-grade students were among the highest on the Westside, the entire fourth-grade class recently took a trip to Sacramento and the students took first place in an academic marathon.
At many schools these accomplishments would be applauded and forgotten, but Canfield and Crescent Heights parents are planning to promote the successes to bring more black and white students together in a pair of schools originally combined for the purpose of integration.
The Los Angeles Unified School District merged the schools in 1977, making Canfield/Crescent Heights Elementary one school with two campuses. Students attend Canfield from kindergarten through the third grade and transfer to Crescent Heights for grades 4, 5 and 6.
Canfield is located in the predominantly white, affluent community of Beverlywood on Airdrome Street just west of Robertson. Crescent Heights is in a predominantly black, middle-class community just east of La Cienega Boulevard on Airdrome.

Founded by a group of undergraduate engineering students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Cast21 is using the latest in medical technology to create a waterproof, breathable cast for broken bones. Initially conceived during a senior design project, Cast21's cast concept was inspired by co-founder Jason Troutner's own experience in uncomfortable and irritating casts. Unlike traditional casts, Cast21's solution has an open lattice design (inspired by a Chinese finger trap) that allows the wearer to wash and scratch the skin below the molding. Cast21 participated in UIUC's iVenture Accelerator program and the Cozad New Venture competition, and has presented at the Hello Tomorrow Conference in Paris, as well as Chicago Techweek. Currently located at UIUC's EnterpriseWorks lab space, Cast21 recently raised over $800K to support further product development.

Road milling to begin on 371 project between Backus and Hackensack
Minnesota Department of Transportation Project Supervisor Kirk Allen announced Tuesday, Sept. 11 that the Highway 371 construction project between Backus and Hackensack will move on to the next stage of construction, milling, on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
During this time the surface of the road will be ground off to make a surface to which the new layer can adhere. The milling work is expected to continue through the following week.
The road will still be an active construction site during this milling process and the detour West of 371 will remain open.
"While this is taking place, local traffic will have to drive on a rough surface that will no longer have striping to define the center line or edge lines," Allen said. "There will also be heavy equipment, trucks and workers throughout the project. The road will remain closed, and will remain an active construction area. Extreme caution should be taken if you must navigate through the project — for both your safety and the safety of the contractor's crews."

I've finally discovered the community of teams on Etsy.
I am currently a part of the teams, Native American Forum: Walking The Red Road
I've never come across so much support and praise for crafters in one place before.
Etsy has helped provide a wonderful place for artists to come together and share their sales, joys, triumphs, tears and frustrations. I've asked questions about running my shop, and given advice when I can. Teams are more than just a resource for sellers, some teams
make their groups to anyone with common interests.
One of my favourite parts of the teams, are the wonderful treasuries they create to support each other. I have seen a wide variety of collections from creative minds from across the continent. Today I was ecstatic to find that I was picked in treasury
So for any seller, that has yet to check out the Community link on Etsy, I would highly recommend that you browse through everything they have to offer. They have teams with common interests, from moustaches, photography, animals, to location, you'll be sure to find something that speaks to your liking.

SAN FRANCISCO --A man who authorities initially had trouble identifying after he was found unconscious this weekend near San Francisco's Union Square died Sunday as a result of his injuries, San Francisco General Hospital officials said Monday.
Manuel Gallegos, 43, of Fremont, was found at about 5 a.m. Saturday with head injuries that suggested some sort of fall, hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said.
His identity was initially a mystery, and hospital officials and San Francisco sheriff's deputies released photos of him in his hospital bed and asked for the public's help in learning his name.
After the public outreach, a relative of Gallegos came forward Sunday night and identified him, Kagan said. He died at the hospital that day.
Gallegos will be an organ donor, according to Kagan.
More information on becoming a donor can be found on the California Transplant Donor Network's website at www.ctdn.org.

Gipple (ギップル)An air sprite from the Dark Art Society. He is the iffy guide on Nike and Kukuri's quest, popping in and out whenever he feels like it (he tends to disappear without a trace whenever a dangerous situation plays out). His cape can also enlarge into a conical tent during nighttime for the heroes to rest in - this bares his near-naked lower body for the inhabitants, and it creates a recurring comical situation as the heroes don't want to look upwards when they sleep in the tent.

Customer Reviews
"I grew up watching my aunt make chorizo, and this isn't it. Chorizo from the Old Country doesn't have all the fancy spices and definitely not milk powder. Just chili pulp, garlic and salt. I don't know where this recipe came from but it's not from the Basque Country."

Drinking Old in the New
Scenes from the past in the present
Viva Las Vegas New Mexico.
The Land of Enchantment has a certain desert magic to it with its Latin flair and American Indian roots. Not just a bunch of sand, the state has ski resorts, wilderness areas, and many of the cities have a vibrant art and culinary scene. And the wine! The wine?? O.K. you got me there– the wine's got a way to go yet, with all the sweet fruit and cheeky labels. But fortune has shined once again upon this lonely traveler and guided me to Vivác Winery, producers of fine New Mexican wines.
An oasis on the road to Santa Fe
Now that may sound like an oxymoron to many wine lovers, but you'll have to trust me when I say that brothers Chris and Jesse Padberg are doing something pretty special down in the SW. First and foremost, they've decided to craft dry wines. In a market where many, if not most folks gravitate towards fruity-tooty wines, the two brothers have gone against the desert grain and created something that might be mistaken for old world Italian wines if you didn't know better.
Producing wines from dolcetto, nebbiolo and sangiovese outside of Italy is always a gamble; one needs the right type of conditions and vineyard savvy in order to grow these types of grapes and actually make these wines for business purposes. It's one thing to make a barrel or so of nebbiolo for friends and family, but it's another thing entirely to sell this as one of your winery brands. In New Mexico.
And guess what? The wines, in my most humble and lip-stained opinion, were great. Not just decent, palatable, or fun. But really solid, serious wines that belong on a table alongside your gourmet meal.
The sangiovese had appropriately dusty and fine-grained texture with bright, sour-cherry fruit. The dolcetto was a smack of dark berry and touch of black fig while still remaining medium-bodied and dry. And their nebbiolo, surely the biggest test of them all, had fantastic, layered aromatics (as it should) and tasted maybe not quite like the wines of Piedmont (as it shouldn't), but was still true to what this grape is — complex and lingering.
Kudos to this small, family winery in between Taos and Santa Fe. They're proving that you can make stellar wine in lesser-known wine areas of the world, and I hope the surrounding populations embrace and appreciate this effort. As I tasted and chatted with the rest of the family, a local band played outside on the patio sending sweet sounds into the warm air. May that music — and their home-made chocolate — remain the only sweet thing produced at Vivác Winery.
* * *
And so, the road continues. It seemed fitting that my best wine experience thus far on this cross-country trip be in the sunny and dry confines of NM. After a long time in a cool and damp setting, it was "bright and fine", as they say in the UK, to sip something a bit more serious in such a place. For many people, the desert is a harsh and unforgiving place. I suppose it is just that at times, but it's always been good to me, and now I can happily say the same for the wine.
With warm and dry cheers,
Find out more about this unique winery and their products at www.VivacWinery.com
9 Responses to "Drinking Old in the New"
So where can i try these wines? Love to compare with Italian.
Can Vivác Winery ship wines to Oregon residents?
Miss you my friend!
Another year older in 30 days!!
Been drinking lots of Calif. wines, thinking about you and how I miss my friends in Portland!
Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Please note that I'm a proofreading fanatic, so I was hoping that your article wasn't printed out with the word "desert" spelled as "dessert" as in your first sentence! Great article, this Winery belongs to my cousins! 🙂

Hemorrhoids Home treatment - How to Self Care for Hemorrhoids
First of all, what are hemorrhoids? In a nutshell, hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen blood vessels located at the lower area of the rectum as well as the anus. Those veins become enlarged due to an increased pressure inside them.
That is why hemorrhoids occur in people who frequenly have constipation, simply because they strain too hard during a bowel movement. Other possible causes of hemorrhoids are pregnancy, and sitting down for long hours without moving, both of which exert extra pressue on the rectal and anal veins.
Getting handled medically will help to reduce the hemorrhoid pain as well as other symptoms. However, to get rid of this scenario, you'll have to target your treatment at the real causes of hemorrhoids. Even so, hemorrhoids home remedies as well as hemorrhoids treatments are available to provide hemorrhoid sufferers the much needed relief, and also a cure.
Here's How Several Simple Home Remedies can Help.
Firstly, increased fluid intake and roughage to help lower the possibility of constipation and reduce the pressure on the rectum and anus during a bowel movement. This will help reduce the swelling, bleeding and any irritating symptoms from becoming serious. You may also want to try dietary fiber supplements to help bulk up the stools.
One of the simplest hemorrhoids home remedies is taking comfortable sitz baths three times a day, each and every time for 15-20 minutes. This helps to relieve the inflamed hemorrhoid. This can be done by sitting in warm water that is few ins deep. Make sure the anal area is dried out completely after the sitz bath, but remember not to rub together with towel to avoid irritating the skin around the anal region in which can cause bleeding.
To relieve hemorrhoid pain and itching, one can easily obtain OTC items like suppositories, creams and creams through drugstores and use conveniently at home. Yet do understand that these types of over-the-counter products just treat the symptoms; they don't cure hemorrhoids.
- Besides these hemorrhoids home remedies, you should also avoid sitting down for long hours.
- And when you sit, you may want to take a seat on an air or rubber doughnut, which can be purchased at most pharmacies.
Exercise is important if you are suffering from hemorhoids, because certain exercise may help to relieve constipation and lessen the pressure on the hemorrhoid veins.
Using stool softeners a good idea to relieve hemorrhoids Well, stool softeners may help to relieve constipation and prevent hemorrhoids, but once hemorrhoids can be found, liquid stools (due to the effect of stool softeners) may worsen the problem. You are able to ask your doctor or pharmacist when using stool softener is appropriate for your case.

Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Defensive coordinator "hopes" Dion Jordan ready for season opener; Could Devlin be cut?
Remember defensive end Dion Jordan? The No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft who the Dolphins traded up to grab?
Jordan showed a lot of promise when he was on the field but it was a brief tenure. He's missed most of training camp and the preseason as he rehabs from offseason shoulder surgery.
The Dolphins are tight-lipped on Jordan, so we don't know what went wrong after he was activated early in training camp, appeared in the first preseason game, barely played in the second game and hasn't practiced since. He likely reaggravated the shoulder and Defensive Coordinator Kevin Coyle on Wednesday wouldn't commit to Jordan being ready by the regular season opener against Cleveland.
"I hope, if he stays on target with what we're hearing and what we're seeing, that he'll be ready to help us on opening day," Coyle said.
Coyle said Jordan is "making strides with his rehab" and he said he has a plan in place with how to utilize Jordan if he's ready to play against Cleveland. But the Dolphins also have a Jordan-less backup plan ready.
"When a guy goes down you've got to have a plan," Coyle said. "One person doesn't necessarily completely alter your game plan. There are other people who can play the role we have for Dion on the current roster."
Jared Odrick, a defensive end for the first few years of his career before moving to defensive tackle this season, might play some end against "better rushing teams" with Randy Starks and Paul Soliai at tackle — a lineup Dolphins fans know well.
COULD DEVLIN BE CUT?: Coach Joe Philbin said Wednesday he's not sure if the team will keep three quarterbacks on the roster. If not, third-stringer Pat Devlin is almost certainly gone.
"I've been on both sides of it, it's something that we'll have to consider," Philbin said.
"Certainly there are teams in the National Football League that only carry two. There are some that carry three."
If starter Ryan Tannehill and backup Matt Moore were to be injured, the Dolphins might be more comfortable adding a veteran free agent to the lineup as opposed to naming Devlin the starter.
Devlin has appeared to struggled in recent practices, but Philbin said he "absolutely" has improved from last year.
"The thing that you like about Pat is that he has a very good command of the system and he plays fast," Philbin said. "He's performed well in the games that he's played so hopefully we'll give him some more opportunities."
COYLE ON MARSHALL: When asked if the team has improved by cutting cornerback Richard Marshall, who was competing for a starting spot, Coyle said yes.
"Every decision that we make is based on improving the team and we think we've done that," Coyle said.
Coyle, however, praised Marshall's professionalism.
"Richard has been the ultimate pro, a guy I've had as much respect for as any guy I've had the opportunity to be around and coach both on and off the field," Coyle said.
Dimitri Patterson, who had been battling Marshall for the starting job, said he now has to show coaches that they made the right call.
"When a situation occurs like this, you're going to make sure you come out here and put that exclamation point on it, let them know, 'listen, you made the right decision,'" Patterson said.
PHILBIN: LEFT TACKLE IS IMPROVING: No player was scrutinized more early in camp than left tackle Jonathan Martin.
But Philbin said that Martin is "quietly improving."
"That's probably a good thing for an offensive lineman. You don't want to be noticed too much as an offensive lineman," Philbin said. "I think the timing on his punch is getting better, his footwork is getting better. Again his continual work, he's working hard at it he's very detailed with his preparation."

For the third straight game, the Polk State College baseball team rallied from behind to win.
Tuesday, the Eagles (5-1) trailed St. Johns River State College 2-0 before the Eagles scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth and held on to win it again in dramatic fashion.
With the game tied 2-2, Polk State sophomore Matt Singletary (Plant City) blasted a two-out, single down the right field line to score freshman Paul Roundtree (Plant City) with the game's winning run.
Leadoff batter Daniel Sweet (Mississippi) opened the eighth with an infield single. He scored on a double down the left field line by Paul Roundtree (Plant City), who came in to pinch hit. Roundtree stole third and scored on an error to tie the game, 2-2.
Saturday the Eagles defeated Daytona State 3-2 in 10 innings. On Friday, February 1, they scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to defeat Palm Beach State College 7-6.
The Eagles did miss scoring chances earlier in the St. Johns contest, leaving six runners on base. Polk's first two batters in the sixth reached base via walks and were left stranded. A Vikings' double play in the seventh also hurt them.
"I would like to see us take that same intensity (seen in the late innings) and see it through out a whole ball game," said coach Al Corbeil.
Tuesday Polk State College freshman Jose Serrano (Haines City) earned the victory in relief. Serrano allowed one hit over two innings and fanned two for his first college win.
Sophomore reliever Trey Norris (Frostproof), who is 2-0, picked up his first save of the season.

That is the title of my new article, forthcoming in the Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law and Justice (2015), co-authored with Marta R. Vanegas. I recently posted it on ssrn.com, and you can download it here. The abstract follows:
State laws regulating abortion have proliferated dramatically in recent years. Twenty-two states adopted 70 different restrictions in 2013 alone. Between 2011 and 2013, state legislatures passed 205 abortion restrictions, exceeding the 189 enacted during the entire prior decade. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently upheld as constitutional several such restrictions, parts of Texas H.B. 2 (2013), in Planned Parenthood of Texas v. Abbott. That court is currently considering the constitutionality of a similar Mississippi law. These and other recent cases raise issues likely to be heard soon by the U.S. Supreme Court. Among the regulations at stake in Texas H.B. 2 was a requirement that doctors performing abortions have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic. The Texas law also limits the use of medication-induced abortions.
Rarely acknowledged in academic literature or media coverage of these laws and constitutional litigation arising from them is the fact that the greatest impact of these regulations—like that of many other state abortion laws enacted since the U.S. Supreme Court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey—is on those who live farthest from major metropolitan areas, where abortion providers tend to be located. Indeed, these laws exact the greatest toll on women who are both rural and poor. We argue that, contrary to the Fifth Circuit's decision in Abbott, these laws place undue burdens on the abortion rights of a significant number of women and that they should be declared unconstitutional.
In addition to these doctrinal arguments, we draw on three complementary critical frames—legal geography, the concept of privilege, and rural studies concept of urbanormativity—to articulate new ways of thinking about the recent spate of so-called incremental abortion regulations and federal courts' adjudication of the constitutionality of these laws. First, legal geography provides a frame for theorizing the relationship between the abortion regulations and rurality, revealing how law's impact is variegated and variable, dictating different outcomes from place to place because of spatial differences. Second, we deploy the concept of privilege in arguing that many federal judges are spatially privileged but blind to that privilege. In our increasingly metro-centric nation, where rural populations are dwindling and marginalized literally and symbolically, most federal appellate judges appear to have little experience with or understanding of typical socio-spatial features of rurality: transport challenges, a dearth of services, lack of anonymity, and frequently extreme socioeconomic disadvantage. Yet those same spatially privileged judges are applying the undue burden standard to laws that require women to travel hundreds of miles, sometimes on multiple occasions, to access abortion services. Those judges are also typically upholding laws that burden women's access to medication-induced abortions, which have the potential to ameliorate rural women's spatial burdens. This spatial privilege and judges' obliviousness to it are most evident among U.S. Courts of Appeal judges and Supreme Court justices construing the "undue burden" standard, as evinced most recently in Abbott but also on display in Casey v. Planned Parenthood and in many U.S. Courts of Appeals decisions in Casey's wake. The spatial privilege phenomenon is closely linked to the third frame: critical rural studies' concept of urbanormativity. By treating urban life as a benchmark for what is normal and, in Abbott, dismissing as constitutionally insignificant some ten percent of Texas women who live more than 100 miles from an abortion provider, federal appellate judges are increasingly articulating an urbanormative jurisprudence.

Last Christmas a little boy arrived at the foster home. We knew Leo was an extra special gift and we couldn't wait to learn more about this sweet little boy.
His arrival pictures show a little boy who was so unsure of his new surroundings, but not long after Leo arrived we began to see glimpses of his award winning smile.
In therapy and preschool Leo worked so hard. It's hard to imagine all the progress he's made in just under a year!
It was a joy watching Leo learn new things and experience things he probably never did before, like going swimming.
However, most of all Leo brought so much joy to all of us. His smile, his laughter, and his personality have the ability to light up a room!
Now, Leo gets to take the next step of his journey, joining his forever family. We're so excited for him and know his future is very, very bright!

Confetti blew off Brent Marks' wing as his car was pushed back to his pit stall at Selinsgrove Speedway.
It was about time.
Marks has suffered through a dismal season. The car has been fast at times, but mechanical woes, driver mistakes and on-track bad luck has kept the Myerstown ace winless.
By Jeremy Elliott
Then came Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week, and you could see Marks turning the corner with more speed and consistent finishes. You had a feeling it was only a matter of time until he parked in Victory Lane.
It happened Sunday. Marks earned a front-row starting spot and dominated the 30-lap Jan Opperman Memorial to close out Speed Week with a $5,000 payday at the Snyder County facility.
"This is long overdue," Marks said. "It's been over a year since I won a race. The last one was the Ray Tilley Classic here last May.
"It feels great. It makes you appreciate wins more. You start taking it for granted, and you don't want to do that."
Marks won't.
Not after ending his current losing streak.
This one ended the second Marks was put on the front row. Although, there were some anxious moments in his victory march.

Thanks to popular demand, we've added our high strength Omega 3 Fish Oil to the range. Good for you and your dog!
Why is Slurps fish oil so good?
Made from sardines and anchovies, Slurps Omega 3 Fish Oil contains 28% Omega-3 fatty acids and 7% Omega-6 fatty acids. That might sound like gobbledygook but it's really important to have a good ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 and 1:4 is really good.
The science bit!
EPA and DHA are the things that really make a good fish oil and you'll see we have very high levels of each. Cheaper products have very low levels of EPA and DHA so they won't be as good for your dog.
Why is it sustainable?
Sardines and anchovies are small fish so it takes a lot less time them to grow to full size than a cod or a salmon. Our aluminium bottles are also 100% recyclable.
Keep in a cool dark place.

Watering Tips & Suggestions
How much water does
a lawn need? In general, cool-season grasses need about one to 1.5
inches of water per week to maintain green color and active growth.
Allow lawns to naturally slow down in growth during extreme
conditions. Many factors such as the soil and weather all have a
role in the lawn's water needs. Here are a few guidelines to follow:
Decide before hand
Decide before summer heat and drought conditions arrive, to either water lawns consistently as needed throughout the season, or let lawns go dormant as conditions turn warm and dry. Do not rotate back and forth. In other words, don't let the grass turn totally brown, apply enough water to green it up, then let the grass go dormant again. Breaking the lawns dormancy actually drains large amounts of food reserves from the plant.
When is it time to water?
The first few warm days of summer does not automatically mean to water lawns. Watch for footprinting, or footprints remaining on the lawn after walking across it (instead of leaf blades bouncing back up). Grasses also tend to turn darker in color as they go under drought stress. Sampling the root zone soil could be another option.
Water as infrequently as possible
Thoroughly water when you do water so moisture soaks down to the roots. Exceptions to this general rule would be for newly seeded lawns where the surface needs to stay moist, newly sodded lawns that have not yet rooted into the soil, or when summer patch disease is a problem. Otherwise, avoid frequent waterings that promote shallower root systems and weeds.
Water early if possible
Given a choice, water early in the day when lawns are normally wet from dew. Avoid midday due to evaporation, and at night due to potential increased chances of some diseases. The exception to this guide is when you are in extremely hot weather and nighttime temperatures don't go below 68 degrees. Then it is better to water in the late afternoon or early evening, providing you don't have watering-time restrictions. Late in the day reduces the amount of evaporation that takes place during the very hot day, allowing more water to reach the root zone.
Spread the water uniformly across the lawn
Sprinklers vary in distribution patterns, and require spray overlap for uniform coverage. Placing coffee cans or similar straight-sided containers on the lawn can help measure water application rates. Avoid flooding areas, or missing other spots. On heavy clay soils and slopes, watch for excessive runoff; it may be necessary to apply the water in several applications to allow for adequate penetration.
Water conservation
To help conserve water, mow your lawn at a higher than normal height, limit traffic over the lawn, improve turf-grass rooting, control thatch and soil compaction.

"We use any of your photos to craft the 2.5D pictures that are then assembled into nightlights, ornaments or light boxes. These unique personal pieces of art are the perfect, most memorable and sentimental gifts you can share with your loved ones."
I was given the opportunity to review a personalized nightlight from Vizardz.
When I came across this company I thought they were so neat! I have never see anything like it! I was very happy when they gave me the chance to review one of their awesome nightlights. When I first received the night light it looked rather weird by looking at it at first. Then I plugged it in and turned it on and I was Wowed! The photo popped out so nice and clear I couldn't believe it! Below you can see a picture of how it looks before and after it is plugged in.
Isn't that AMAZING?
Not only does Vizardz sell personalized nightlights, they also sell light boxes, ornaments, inserts for the nightlights or the light boxes, and sculptures.
Turn your photos into something magical with Vizardz! You will NOT be disappointed in their quality of work! I can promise you that :)
I was provided the above mentioned products for my review. I was not compensated in any other way for this review. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. Thank you to Vizardz for the product to review and for the giveaway to my readers.

When visiting the country of Turkey, you must miss to spend a single day without visiting Selcuk town. It is a place where many ancient happenings have happened and has left major events in the rich culture and history of the place. It is located in Izmir province and is 2 km away from the real ancient city of the infamous Ephesus.
The place had its original name Agios Theologos from the Greeks as referred from John the Theologian. By the 14th century, the city was renowned as the capital of emirate of Aydin while suring the Ottoman Empire the city has the name Ayasuluk. The last renaming of the city was in 1914. This was the time when the first incursions made within the region were done by the Seljuk Turks in the 12th century.
While you are on any typical day tours, you would not be exploring the town of Selcuk due to time requirements. If you wish to see the town, please inform your private tour guide. Also, there are more things that you can discover once you visit Selcuk town. Just make sure that you are fully aware of all the destinations within the city as well as the neighbouring ancient city to enjoy every time you would spend in the country. See to it that you will not miss the chance to explore the ruins in the ancient city to have an unforgettable vacation in Turkey.

Another thought....I always have my students write their name and class code on the back of every picture. The class code is 2S for Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class or KJ for Mrs. Jones' Kindergarten class. I know exactly how you feel about not knowing whose art is on the drying rack, so that's how I solved the problem!

Don't Do Dumb Stuff.So, I put together a talk about how to find yourself, find your passions, and change the world. I tried to sprinkle some truth in there and a little bit of humor, and I think it came out OK.
Give it a view if you're interested! Thanks for watching!
