The Story
From the bottom of the line:
A Delightful Tangle of Affairs
The Earl of Spenborough had always been noted for his eccentricity. Leaving a widow younger than his own daughter Serena was on thing, but leaving his fortune to the trustee of the Marquis of Rotherham – the one man the same daughter had jilted – was quite another.
When Serena and her lovely young stepmother Fanny decide to move to Bath, Serena makes an odd new friend and discovers an old love. Before long, they're all entangled in a muddle of marriage and manners the likes of which even Regency Bath has rarely seen.
The Response
Oh, this was deliciously scandalous! One of the more enjoyable Heyer books, by far. I absolutely loved it. One of my coworkers lent this to me after we both declared on Twitter how wonderful Georgette Heyer's books were. Bath Tangle did not disappoint at all.
This book was written about two thirds into Heyer's career, which is really evident when you are reading it. A lot of her earlier stuff is awkwardly written, and neither the characters nor plot are well developed. Bath Tangle is definitely superior in those respects.
The first half of the book was a little bit slow, while Heyer was setting the scene and introducing us to the characters and their situations, but when Serena and Fanny get to Bath things quickly pick up. Our characters, while still in mourning, are able to attend smaller gatherings, outings and make appearances at the Pump Room, which of course leads to the introduction of extremely interesting characters and many suitable (as well as some highly unsuitable) men attempting pay addresses to both women.
As far as the characters go, this definitely has some of the most interesting ones. It also has some of the most frustrating ones. I felt that Fanny was undeveloped, and when she did show some personality it was just to berate herself and proclaim to others about how stupid she was. Sigh. Grow some confidence, girl! I rather wanted to shake her and tell her to shut up at times.
Serena was lovely – eccentric, rather headstrong, but lovely. The relationship that she had with Rotherham was really the most wonderful part of the book, in my opinion. Rotherham was moody, and it was rare that he would appear without the two of them getting into a huge argument. It was obvious that not only did they perfectly suit each other, but that both were still in love with the other even though they broke off their engagement previously. It was also obvious that this love was what motivated both throughout the whole book.
Rotherham may actually be my favourite of Heyer's males since Miles from Black Sheep. That's pretty high praise.
The story itself was, as expected from a Heyer Regency romance, totally predictable. But it was also utterly delicious! The thing with these books, is that you always know who the main character(s) are going to hook up with as soon as they first show up in the book. It's always just so exciting to see how they come to realize they are in love, and that moment when they both admit it to the other… ah! Beautiful and wonderful and butterfly-inducing!
The Bottom Line
Definitely thoroughly enjoyable! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good romp through Regency England!

Winter has already set-in, bringing in the gaiety and vivacity of Christmas and the advent of a New Year along with the holiday mood setting in. For someone like me, it gets really tough to brave the chill and get out from the comforts of my sweet little pad. Not that I don`t like celebrations- it's just the cosiness of the warm blanket with the hot cup of coffee, some butter flavoured popcorns and surfing through TV- changing channels between ads to catch on almost all the Christmas movies - during a beautiful winter evening that makes me sit at home.

And as always, this time too I skipped plans to go out, only to catch up with my all time favourite movie `Home Alone`. I still remember, as an 8-year old, how I fought with my dad to go out and watch the movie with my neighbour's kids and how I wished to have a similar fate like Kevin McCallister, so that I too could plan my own adventure and outwit the burglars with my tricks. But as fate would have it, I never got a chance to be adventurous as a kid but as a grown up, I am defiantly home alone which now I realise is one of the worst punishments one could get during the festive season.

As I watched the movie this time, it was not the adventures that fascinated me, but the pre-occupied thought of being all alone on Christmas that stabbed my heart. I tried to concentrate on other things to get over the emotions when my eyes caught hold of the box kept on the table. I had taken out the box a few days back to look out for my priced possessions, but let it rest on the table for lack of time- something us, as adults always complain of.

The handmade box, cut out of cardboard and colourful chart papers with stars made of silver paper cut-outs adorning the sides, is my oldest and most precious memories which I have carefully maintained so that it never loses the innocence with which it was made at the age when Christmas was about collecting gifts and stocking them up. Though most gifts have made way for new ones, the box still cherishes the presence of the Christmas stockings- my first gift I had asked Santa to get me and which I still hang up during the season, and an endless list of everything that I wished since then. All my wish lists had another note attached to it –especially written by Santa - citing reasons on why I deserved the gift. Yes, as a child I took pride in telling others how Santa came at night to drop me the gifts and it was because of their bad deeds that they didn't end up getting one. Time went by and somewhere the wish list and gifts found a silent place in the solitude in some corner of the house.

As my childhood unfolded frame-by-frame, like a motion picture, I realised why my Santa, each time made sure I had my gifts especially with the notes assuring me of my goodness. Somehow my happiness and innocence were the reasons for his contentment.

As a child, life is much easier - all one needs to do is put the wish list in the Christmas stockings hanging on the door knob or the window so that it could be spotted easily and express wishes aloud so that the Santa sitting in the next room could fulfil it.

As I went through the collection, I found a blank paper lying at the bottom of the box, and without a second thought I scribbled my wish for this Christmas – hoping maybe Santa made an exception to visit this grown-up.

For Santa`s information- `The wish list is placed in the stocking hanging on the front door between the wreath`.

As we all know, a branding is the most enhanced and efficient methodology to improve brand recognition. Most specifically, your business logo should look highly professional and eye-catchy. In this article, we have further elaborated the secret ways to brainstorm your logo ideas, so keep reading the article.
Guidelines #2: Be clear on your branding
When you are looking for a logo design that compliments your brand, you need to be extremely clear, on what your business is all about. You need to think about your brand story, your visions, your mission and your objectives.
Here are a few tips to get the answers to these questions:
List out the adjectives that fit your business
Is your brand formal, cool and sophisticated? Or welcoming, approachable and energetic? Work on the collection of adjectives that precisely describe your brand in a perfect way. Kick off with 15 to 20 ideas, and then confine it to the top three that feel like they are absolutely on point for your branding.
List out the words that describe your brand
Do you want you targeted audience to think you are creative and cutting-edge? Alternatively, is it essential to be deemed as reliable and credible? Come up with the best demonstration of how you wish to be exhibited in the industry—it will tell you much about your brand.
List out the message you want to convey
When people peek at your logo design, what is the feeling they want you to have when they first saw your logo? Do you want your targeted audience to be energized and excited? Or do you want them for having a sense of relaxation? The emotions you wish to evoke in your customers will tell you much about your brand objective.
Guidelines #3: Determine the elements of logo to convey your brand message
After getting a clear idea about branding, it's time to get a design that can blow a new life to your story. However, how do you settle on which design elements are bets fit for your brand?
How about making a design inspiration board?
An inspiration board let you compile all of the things that touch your heart — be it painting or a logo or a color — at a single place. Later on, you can search for different patterns. This most likely means you should integrate blue color in the design. Does a vintage design catch your eyes the most? Go for a vintage-inspired logo.
When searching for a company to get your custom logo design, make sure it has relevant experience and expertise in the domain. Moreover, do not forget to check the testimonials and reviews.

Experts are calling for more effective management of life sciences research in Asia in order to protect against the consequences of a terrorist attack or pandemic illness.
A global infectious disease outbreak involving either the deliberate release a lethal pathogen or one from natural sources could claim millions of lives and cause severe economic damages, according to SCMP.com.
Jaime Yassif, a biophysicist from the University of California Berkeley, said that the issue of life sciences governance is particularly significant in Asia, where the biotech industry is growing more rapidly than policy and regulation can effectively manage.
China has heavily invested in its domestic biotech industry. Biotechnology in Malaysia already accounts for 2.5 percent of the country's economic output. Indonesia has also recently set its sights on developing its biotech capabilities.
"Managing the risks presents several challenges," Yassif says, SCMP.com reports. "Firstly, dual-use biotech tools, materials and knowledge are widely distributed, and research takes place at thousands of facilities worldwide. This increases ease of access and hence risk of exploitation by those with malevolent intent."
Yassif also contends that it is rapidly becoming easier for non-state actors to develop a biological weapon, and that such weapons would now be easier to develop than those using nuclear material.
The West, Yassif said, currently has a chance to foster cooperation with governments and scientists across the Pacific by sharing its knowledge of the support structures that need accompany responsible investments in bioscience.
"More effective management of biosecurity challenges means establishing a culture of responsibility among researchers, developing self-governance practices in the industry, and strengthening institutions to support these efforts," Yassif says, according to SCMP.com.

Developing a Common Metric in Item Response Theory.
Stocking, Martha L.; Lord, Frederic M.
A common problem arises in scale transformation when independent estimates of item parameters from two separate data sets must be expressed in the same metric. These item parameter estimates will be different because the metric or scale defined by each independent calibration of the items is different. The problem is frequently confronted in studies of horizontal and vertical equating and in studies of item bias. The nature of scale transformation from one metric to another is discussed, and the use of mean and sigma method is reviewed. A new method is presented which uses more information from item calibrations to yield an estimated item response function or item characteristic curve. Using data from 12 separate administrations of the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the mean and sigma transformation and characteristic curve method are shown to work well in the verbal data and most of the mathematical data. When the mean and sigma method was unsatisfactory, the information content of the characteristic curve method worked better. In particular, the characteristic curve method produced a much better transformation for the item discriminations. (CM)

'Justice has been done.' So says every newspaper in the land, following the conviction of David Norris and Gary Dobson for the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in 1993. Justice? Are they serious? Judging from the narcissistic catfight amongst various sections of the elite clamouring to claim responsibility for 'getting' Lawrence's killers, involving everyone from tabloid supremo Paul Dacre to Islington's favourite QC Michael Mansfield to PM David Cameron, this isn't so much a case of 'justice has been done' as 'justice has been done by me!'. In the Lawrence case, the needs of justice were long ago usurped by the desires of the political and media elites to use this grisly case as a soapbox from which to pronounce their moral superiority in modern Britain.
It is clear from the orgy of post-conviction self-congratulation amongst the chattering classes (Dacre says yesterday was 'a glorious day for British newspapers') that the trial of Norris and Dobson was a political trial. It was a showtrial, or at least a showy trial, which was relentlessly used to advertise and entrench the morality of the new political elites. Just because Norris and Dobson are lowlifes, whom no one will much miss when they are banged up, doesn't mean we should give the nod to this bending of the justice system to the whims of the cultural elite.
It is fitting that the Lawrence case should end with a political trial, because this was the most cynically exploited and politicised murder in living memory. Lawrence was not the first young black man to have been murdered by racists, nor was he the first black murder victim to have been failed by a seriously botched police investigation. But he was the first black murder victim whose tragic demise was cynically milked by the cultural elite and used as the lynchpin of a moral crusade against Old Britain and its foul, backward inhabitants. In a triple whammy of murder-milking, Lawrence's death was used by the elites to demonise the white working classes as the new 'brutes within'; to redefine racism as a disease of the brain rather than as a relation of power; and to dismantle long-standing legal principles that were once seen as central to the justice system.
Firstly, and most immediately, Lawrence's murder was exploited to problematise huge swathes of white, working-class Britain. In the hands of a cultural elite which felt increasingly cut off from, and disgusted by, Britain's native working classes, the Lawrence murder became a significant turning point in the way in which the white working classes were discussed and understood – and feared.
In the wake of the murder, journalists ventured to the place where it had occurred – in Eltham, a working-class part of south London – with the same combination of trepidation and excitement that Victorian anthropologists no doubt felt upon arrival in African backwaters. 'INTO HELL', declared a frontpage headline in the Daily Mirror, as its reporter described the council estate on which Norris and Dobson (and other initial suspects in the case) grew up – an 'E-reg Escort land' where there is 'racism seeping from every pore' (1). The Mail resurrected the s-word – 'savages' – to describe some of the racists who lived on the Eltham estate, who apparently ruled through a 'culture of fear' (2).

Where do I begin?
You're in exactly the right place. Unlike primary home buying, over 85% of second home buyers begin their search on the internet, according to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. This site provides valuable resources for those beginning Southwest Michigan lake property searches. There are some basic questions that you will want to consider before you actually look at homes:
- Analyze your budget and determine your optimal price range.
- Evaluate whether you are willing to look at only new homes or will also include existing homes in your search.
- Discuss weather your family needs or prefers a community with built in amenities vs. a stand-alone home.
- Will you need a garage or other storage area?
- Does your community need to be pet friendly? If you have dogs or cats, ask about any Homeowners Association restrictions regarding pets.
- Do you want to be on water? Do you prefer a lake or a river?
- Are you looking for a lake which allows water skiing, tubing and other water sports, also known as an "all sports lake" (sometimes written as one word, "allsport", or even hyphenated, "all-sport")? Is your family more comfortable with a "no motor" lake, sometimes referred to as a "no wake" lake?
- If you're looking for something on or near water, do you plan on getting a pontoon boat, ski boat, sailboat, fishing boat, Jet Ski or a waverunner? If so, will you need a dock or slip for the season? Many second homes come with a dock. However, if it doesn't, can a dock be added? If there are no permanent piers, docks or slips available with your home, are there public or private boat launches to put your boat in and take it out? Is there a place to park or store your boat trailer?
- Do you enjoy doing some yard work or would you prefer a "maintenance-free community"? These days, the most common answer by a landslide. . . "Not more yard work!" Fortunately, these communities are easy to find, as the current trend in many second home communities is maintenance-free living. Many communites now have homeowner associations which are structured to either discourage lawns or provide care included in a small monthly assessment. There may be a lawn restriction designed to enhance the natural wooded look of the environment. These associations often take care of common area upkeep, such as snowplowing, pool cleaning, landscaping, etc.
- Your second home should evoke feelings of vacation, adventure and relaxation. It should ideally have a much more natural, rural feel and look than that of your primary home community. When you gaze out the windows of your second home you should see woods, water, or something unique to immediately remind you that you have "gotten away". Buying in a Southwest Michigan maintenance-free community means your family can spend your weekends playing, not working. Another new trend: Many second home communities now have Concierge Services either provided by the community or available in vacation home areas.
- Identify your target geographic area. Once you have determined how far you are willing to drive, put a circle on a map to define the area of your search. How far is the closest town, grocery store, park, restaurant? These may become important questions as you zero in on your location.
- The next step is vital to making good choices: Contact several developments to arrange tours of their communities and homes. Many second home communities have models you can walk through. Take note of the quality of construction, and the flexibility of the builder to make minor adjustments on plans to suit your needs. Make sure to bring other family members and/or friends to ask for and actually listen to their input. There's a good chance you may be inviting them for visits, especially if they're bringing the food and drinks!
- House hunting can be overwhelming and details begin to blurr. Keep notes of your top choices and schedule a return visit to take a closer look.
- Spend time driving and exploring the immediate areas around the developments. Take your time and ask a lot of questions. Are there restaurants and activities suitable for your whole family?
"Should I use a realtor?"
While the vast majority of second homebuyers begin and continue their search on the internet, there are still those buyers who reach out to realtors. Just remember that many realtors focus on the much larger primary home market to make their living. This could mean that while they know a great deal about primary home markets, many may not have spent time focusing on the unique attributes of SW Michigan second home communities. You will want to do a little bit of homework and online research, to learn how to zero in on your dream home. Naturally, most second home developers can price a bit more aggressively when you come to them directly, but they will still welcome you when accompanied by a realtor.

Aisling Bea: Plan Bea
Aisling Bea was last in Edinburgh two years ago, with a superb debut that demonstrated her star quality. Now she's back, and in the intervening period has got something of a TV profile – so what to do with the follow-up?
What it feels like is a first show, second time round. That makes a lot of sense: introduce yourself to a bigger audience as if you're starting from scratch. So we get a pacey romp through Bea's life growing up in Ireland with a single mum and a younger sister Sinead ('a poor man's me'), idolising all things American and feeling guilty for no reason, through to her move to London and drama school, and her subsequent regrettable role in a 'pirate metal' music video.
It starts a little slowly but the second half has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, particularly on the subject of the arrogance of celebrities. Bono and Kanye get called out for this, the story of Kanye being a particular highlight, and providing an unexpectedly thrilling climax. There are some interesting inroads into current affairs, including a great line on who's behind the trend for young women going to the UK for an abortion.
The show doesn't play to her main strength, though, which is storytelling. As an all-round entertainer, Bea can do the gags and the bantz and the mimicry, but I think it's best served when she's really getting her teeth into a story, and this general round-up of her life doesn't permit that. In having essentially lots of micro-routines means it's inevitably a bit hit and miss, if more the former than the latter.
Bea does however have the pace and spark to generate energy in what is another warm, cramped room, and full marks for providing improvised fans for everyone ('You're hot, I'm a fan,' it says) So that star quality remains, but this isn't quite the show to prove it.

Minnesota's Trump snub: 3rd District Republicans don't include presidential nominee on sample ballots
The Republican Party officers in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District have decided not to put presidential candidate Donald Trump on the sample ballot mailed to voters in the western suburbs. It's a conspicuous decision that defines the dilemma the party is facing in this election — and for the future.
"I wouldn't say it was a controversial decision," said Danny Nadeau, deputy chair of the district's executive committee. "It was a hard decision."
Difficult or not, the decision led Barb Sutter, a member of the executive committee, to resign in protest, along with another member, Sheri Auclair. Sutter, who is also secretary of the state Republican Party, said: "They are not doing what the party stands for, which is supporting our candidates."
But Nadeau argues that candidate support is precisely why the decision was made.
"The district is focused on the congressional race and down-ballot races," he said, referring to Rep. Erik Paulsen, a Republican who represents the 3rd District in Congress, and who is in a competitive race against DFL state Sen. Terri Bonoff. "It was hard for long-term Republican people to look at this and ask, 'Is the presidential candidate going to help or hurt?'. The questions had never come up before. But forget about the discussion. Get rid of the emotion. It was a decision based on the best available data that we had."
Nadeau and other Republicans in the 3rd District have watched the change of legislative seats from Republican to DFL over multiple cycles, most notably the election of a DFL state senator and representatives in the former GOP stronghold of Edina. The district voted for President Barack Obama twice.
Trump's emergence as the GOP nominee prompted the Democratic Party to dedicate time and money to defeat four-term incumbent Paulsen. "You can see the challenge we face as Republicans in the third congressional district," Nadeau said. "When Republicans lose races in the third, we don't get them back."
That is why Paulsen has targeted ticket-splitting independents, emphasizing his bipartisan accomplishments. "I'm one of only 34 members of the House in either party that had bills signed into law by the president this year," Paulsen said in an interview after a Richfield campaign appearance.
When asked if thought the party needed more Republicans like him he responded, "I think we need more people that are willing to work together to get some stuff done, yeah."
Paulsen said again he plans on writing in Marco Rubio's name for president. Sutter, for one, said she respects his campaign strategy and individual decision, but maintains the Trump snub on the sample ballot was wrong. "I think it sets a bad precedent," she said. "What if we have a gubernatorial endorsement and we decide he or she is not our cup of tea? When does this end?"
It ends if the Republican Party can manage to hold on to the motivated, traditional base that still exists in the 3rd Congressional District while absorbing the new forces that put Trump at the top of the ticket. It won't be easy. Many Trump supporters are not GOP activist material; they are unhappy voters who want to throw all the bums out.
What's more likely is that the rift that Trump has created among the 3rd District's rank-and-file Republicans will remain — regardless of whether Trump wins or loses.
Correction: The original version of this story stated that in the 2014 governor's race, Gov. Mark Dayton won the 3rd Congressional District over GOP challenger Jeff Johnson. In fact, Johnson won the district by 3 points.

Not a "snub"
This isn't a Trump "snub", it's a transparent effort at mental gymnastics that seeks to pretend that the same party that has endorsed Trump isn't the same party that it's other candidates belong to. Good luck with that.
"absorbing the new forces..."
Seems to be a chemical suspension resisting emulsion---oil and water, not oil and vinegar.
Such a bland salad here, in search of a broadly acceptable dressing.
Good luck with that, indeed...
While it might be true he's done some bipartisan legislation, Erik's not done much. And I remember the GOP when they were referred to as "IR: Independent Republicans". Not so independent anymore, in my view. Independence lost in the name of unity, I guess. Especially if "it was a hard decision" to not put Donald on the mailings. Not controversial, but hard?
Is he a Republican?
Barb Sutter is quoted in the article as saying that the Republican Party stands for "supporting our candidates" (the implication being, no matter what). Apart from what one might think about this sort of tribalism, is Trump really a Republican anyway? Sure, he succeeded in hijacking the party and diverting it to the service of his own ego, but underneath, he seems to be merely a Trumpist who basically couldn't care less about the party or its values. Kudos to the 3rd District folks for acknowledging this.
Republicans Can Run But They Cannot Hide!
Mr. Trump is a true Republican because he is the nominee of the Republican Party. Republicans cannot simply claim that he "hijacked" their party, his views and his values reflect the Republican Party that chose him and actively supports him as their candidate.
If you are a candidate for office running with Republican Party endorsement, you are in fact, a Trump supporter. Mr. Paulson and Mr. Anselmo cannot simply deny what their party created and endorsed since both are committed to that same Republican Party. It is pretty clear that both of them want to see a President Trump but are too chicken to admit it.

I am familiar with this talented artist, Lenore Senior, and appreciate her work. The towels were much better quality than I expected. So soft and such a beautiful replication of Lenore's artwork. They look great with the wall art I already have in place. I appreciate all the different product forms that FineArtAmerica offers. I have ordered Lenore's work on greeting cards, too, and they were beautiful and of a very good quality. Thank you!

Windstar Cruises Wind Surf Review
The romance and allure of the Seven Seas are alive and well aboard this five-masted sailing yacht.
Considering the size of Wind Surf, we expected certain limitations with the scope of meal service, and yet this never posed a problem on our seven-night voyage. Wind Surf did an excellent job with the dining—it was as good or better than what we receive on most of the mainstream lines. Even the room service menu was more extensive and varied than what most ships offer.
Breakfast and lunch are limited to room service and The Veranda, which offers both a modest buffet spread and a menu. Alternately, continental breakfast and sandwiches are available in the Yacht Club. For dinner, AmphorA served as the ship's main dining room, while Stella Bistro offered an alternative, somewhat more intimate environment. Candles Grill was the ship's steakhouse, located on the pool deck under the stars (weather permitting). For Stella Bistro and—especially—Candles, reservations are strongly advised. On one night of the cruise all of these venues were closed and a deck-top Barbecue Buffet Dinner was organized.
At all of Wind Surf's restaurants there are plenty of two-seat tables, which meant we were never forced to share with other guests.
AmphorA Restaurant
Wind Surf's main dining room is an elegant venue that was completely revamped during the December 2012 renovation. Located on the Main Deck, forward, AmphorA is named for the tall, two-handled ancient Greek/Roman jars (there's one displayed at the entry). Open only for dinner, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., there are no set seating times. But since AmphorA can seat 216 guests—roughly two-thirds of Wind Surf's capacity—there is almost never a wait for seating (including the ship's two other restaurants virtually every guest can be seated at one venue or another at the same time). Further, there are 26 two-top tables, so we never had to share.
Amid sophisticated décor AmphorA has well-spaced tables, beautifully set with handsome gold glass chargers. Alas, the chargers had an uneven surface and they remained on the table for the starter course, which meant our appetizer dishes rocked and rattled as we ate. But the chargers were removed for other courses, so this is a minor quibble.
The menu changes nightly, offering eight starters and six or seven entrées. Mains that were always available were grilled or broiled sirloin steak, chicken breast, salmon and penne marinara. Appetizers we enjoyed included fried calamari served with a garlic-lemon aioli; an antipasto platter with meats and grilled vegetables; a Portobello mushroom gratin stuffed with crab; the pear and goat cheese salad with a slice of prosciutto; a "tunatini"—raw ahi tuna marinated and served in a martini glass; and a hearty lobster bisque with a good amount of flesh poking through. On the other hand, we found salads to be fairly rudimentary.
For entrées we like the sautéed pork tenderloin and we thought the prime rib was a good, juicy cut. The wild forest mushroom and truffle risotto was excellent, perfectly cooked, while the surf and turf one night included a small, succulent lobster tail and petite filet mignon, also nicely done. The chicken piccata was in an egg batter, heavier than we are accustomed to, but it was satisfying. Among the standout desserts was the After Eight Surprise, a mint mousse atop chocolate sponge cake, and a scrumptious banana cream pie. The chocolate lava cake and a warm pear Tatin were unsurprising but delicious.
The Veranda
Located on the Star Deck with tables both inside and out, this was Wind Surf's main breakfast and lunch option. There was both a modest buffet selection and a menu available, with much of the food cooked to order at an outdoor grill right at midship. We found most of our meals here to be just fine, and we enjoyed eating here except for the afternoon when construction immediately below carried on until multiple guest complaints brought a senior crewmember to stop it.
At breakfast, the buffet selection included bagels with smoked salmon and fixings, Greek yogurt and honey, packaged cereals, a nice selection of sliced fruit plus stewed (compote) fruits such as pear and peaches. Hot buffet offerings included scrambled eggs, bacon (soft or crispy), oatmeal and cream of wheat, sausage (chicken or pork), fried potatoes, etc. But we were happier ordering off the menu, which included a variety of eggs Benedict-style preparations (California, Spanish, Messina), plus poached eggs over corned beef hash or salmon hash, a breakfast burrito, or omelets to order with hash browns.
The lunch selection changed daily and would include cold choices from the buffet such as seafood, curried chicken or pasta salad, cold cuts, cheese and fruit, marinated vegetables. There was a hot and cold soup of the day—it might be papaya bisque or gazpacho for cold, Portuguese bean or corn chowder for hot. Among the hot buffet items were pork schnitzel, salmon escalopes, baklava spiced lamb, fish and chips, or chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce. But the menu also offered a half-dozen entrées cooked to order, such as Black Forest sandwich, leg of lamb, fontina and mushroom burger, a pasta of the day such as fettuccini carbonara or bami goring with pork and veggies, and a Caesar salad with a topping of the day like seafood or roasted chorizo.
Stella Bistro
The main alternative to AmphorA for the evening meal was this equally attractive dining room located on the Star Deck, just forward of the Veranda. Open only for dinner, there was no surcharge for dining here. Whereas AmphorA offered Continental fare, Stella Bistro has a French menu—actually two, which alternated. Although reservations were suggested, with 82 seats for Wind Surf's 312 passengers, there were ample tables for all guests to dine here at least once. Like AmphorA, the fixed tables were nicely spaced—the smaller room was quite comfortable and well appointed.
Among the starters we tried, the Napoleon of portobello mushroom was a treat, a goat cheese soufflé was satisfying, and escargots bourguignon was done in classic style. The salads here were more to our liking than what we had at AmphorA—a simple arugula salad with marinated boiled potatoes and a wedge of goat cheese, and frisée with shredded duck breast. There were also soups: bouillabaisse, lobster bisque, classic French onion soup.
For entrées we tried the roasted chicken "grand mère," a succulent and crisp quarter bird with rosemary, lemon and a red wine sauce—wonderful. The coquille St. Jacque Provençale offered a quartet of scallops on the half shell with a dollop of eggplant mousse; the dish was fine, but somewhat small for a main course. By contrast, the slow braised osso bucco appeared in a bowl like a yin and yang of polenta wrapped around the meat—a decadent and hearty dish.
The dessert menu trotted out predictable but welcome standards such as tarte tatin, crepes Suzette and chocolate fondue. We enjoyed these, but the cheese plate was our favorite, selected from a cheese trolly with accompaniments such as dried apricots, cashews and walnuts.
Candles Grill
We so wanted to love Candles Grill, an al fresco steakhouse sitting next to the pool, on the aft deck. We arrived just before sundown and the open-air setting was unique—one can certainly take in the fresh air and sunset colors, with the waves lapping gently at the boat. But there's no kitchen here, just the grill, and so most of the food (if not everything) that is not grilled is pre-prepared; alas, this constrains the results. That said, if we were lucky to be dining with a friend on their personal yacht and this was the meal they offered, we wouldn't have any complaints. But compared to what Wind Surf does at its other dining venues, Candles doesn't seem to aim very high.
The seafood cocktail, served in a martini glass, was fine, as was the Caprese salad (what could go wrong?). The Caesar salad was garnished with a healthy anchovy specimen. We ordered the lamb chops, which were serviceable, while the New York strip was not the best cut. Other entrée options included filet mignon and marinated sea bass (both of which looked better than what we had). Despite the food being our least interesting meal aboard Wind Surf, the setting was magical—we'd still rate this venue as a don't-miss, but don't forget to bring a jacket or wrap.
We were seated at a small table set against one of the Jacuzzi tubs. There are four of these, and we'd recommend requesting a table along the outer railings. But don't be too choosy: On a seven-day cruise there are barely enough tables (23) available for all guests to dine here once, and not enough if inclement weather shuts the venue down for a night. Reservations are strongly recommended on embarkation day, and for a night early in the cruise (in case of weather). Select the day and time of your seating carefully. It's nice to be dining at Candles while under sail, but the tables are all exposed to the wind; an evening with a late departure from port might be better.
Barbecue Dinner
One night of our cruise was dedicated to the top-deck Barbecue Dinner. A tasty buffet was set out at dusk and Wind Surf nuzzled up to the base of the erupting volcano Stromboli. The skies darkened and we were mesmerized by incandescent lava sparking from the summit like a Roman candle.
The spread included salads and appetizers such as roasted marinated vegetables, poached shrimp, hearts of palm salad, grilled eggplant and chipotle corn salad, avocado stuffed with seafood, and various breads. Hot dishes included moussaka, spanakopita, pineapple fritters, baked potatoes, paella, and an Asian style suckling pig with applesauce. At the grill we could order jerk chicken drumsticks, wahoo fillet, baby pork ribs, lamb loin chops and lobster tails.
No one went away hungry—in fact, overall the food was better than what we experienced at Candles. The tables were covered and napkins were linen, and there was live music. All other venues were closed on this evening, and in the event of rain, the event is moved indoors.
Yacht Club
In addition to serving coffee, the Yacht Club is an alternative buffet option for quick meals, though most of it is served cold. Although only a small percentage of Wind Surf's guests seemed to use this spot, there are only just a handful of tables, and we found them full for periods during breakfast and, especially, lunch. Fortunately, few tend to linger long, so finding an open seat wasn't too difficult the times we were here.
At breakfast the selection included individual plates of fruits, cereals including muesli and low-fat granola, yogurt and berries served parfait-style, and a nice selection of rolls, such as organic tomato and basil or organic carrot and sultanas, served with mango-lime or apricot-nectarine jam. At lunch there were nine different sandwiches, along with a soup of the day. We took our sandwich ashore with us one day and made our own island picnic.
In-Room Dining
We were pleasantly surprised by the breadth of Wind Surf's 24-hour room service selection. The only drawback is that there was no real table for dining on in our cabin, just the built-in desk, at which only one person could eat at a time.
The breakfast menu, available from 6 a.m. till noon, included hot items such as eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, French toast, and pancakes, all of which could be ordered with sides of sausage, bacon, ham or hash browns. Cold fare included a fruit plate, various juices, bread, rolls and pastry, and a smoked salmon and bagel feast.
We called to request breakfast one morning and the order was delivered just 19 minutes later. Food arrived topped with plastic lids or with plastic wrap. Our order included eggs Hollandaise with sides of hash browns, and an omelet that was folded with peppers, onions, tomato, cheese and bacon. Both arrived hot, and the taste was just fine.
There are two menus for the rest of the day—the main one being available from noon to 10 p.m. On it, we found everything from crudités with ranch dressing and vegetable samosas, to burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches and Cobb salad. Entrées included grilled New York strip, sesame-crusted tuna, Thai chicken curry and vegetable lasagna. The short list of desserts featured apple pie, chocolate cake and a cheese plate. The late night menu, available from 10 p.m. till 6 p.m., was streamlined and included a few sandwiches, salads, Bircher muesli and popcorn, along with the same dessert selection.

I've asked my mom to drive me to the gym after school and on weekend but she usually says something along the lines of "I'm to busy." I try to go on jogs but I feel like everybody stares at me, me being a very shy person gets scared/worried so I turn back to go home.

Are you looking to permanently rid your life of acid reflux? If you are dealing with this frustrating medical issue, there is hope and all it takes is taking the time to learn how to control it. Use the tips and advice that you're about to read so that you can forget about acid reflux.
If you suffer from acid reflux, you should really consider giving up fatty foods. Fatty foods can cause your esophageal sphincter to relax, letting acid flow upwards. They also promote weight gain, which can exacerbate acid reflux. Learn to make good nutritional choices.
Have beverages in between your meals instead of in the midst of them. You can help keep your hunger at bay, for one thing. In addition, not drinking during meals will prevent your stomach from expanding as much. As a result, acid is not as likely to rise up, so your acid reflux symptoms will decrease.
To lessen acid reflux pain, try eliminating spicy foods such as peppers and hot sauces from your diet. These foods only escalate the buildup of acid in the digestive tract and can worsen your condition. You will usually find relief by avoiding these foods.
If you smoke, you should quit. Smoking contributes to your acid reflux. It slows digestion, boosts acid production in the stomach and limits saliva production. It also weakens the muscles that keep your stomach closed tight. It is extremely important that you quit today.
When you have an acid reflux flareup, try to remember what you ate just prior to that. There are probably foods that trigger acid reflux every time. Identifying your own trigger can help you avoid those foods in the evening when reflux is more likely to be an issue.
To thicken the mucuous lining of the stomach, try slippery elm. This layer keeps your stomach safe from stomach acid. A lot of folks find that a couple of tablespoons mixed into some water following dinner and before bedtime gives them relief.
Try to quit smoking if you are afflicted with acid reflux. Nicotine boost stomach acid and can cause increased occurrences of acid reflux. But when it is time to quit smoking, do it with some help. Cold turkey puts the body under stress and this can make your acid reflux problems worse. Attempt to quit gradually.
Acid Reflux
Exercising too strenuously can actually aggravate your acid reflux. Try to consume at least 8 glasses of water a day. Water keeps you hydrated. You'll also have an easier time digesting your food properly. Using water to help digest food can decrease acid production in your stomach.
Keep track of the foods that might be causing your acid reflux. There are probably foods that trigger acid reflux every time. Once you've identified your trigger foods, you can avoid them and start to feel better.
Weight loss can help to lessen or prevent acid reflux. Obesity often occurs with acid reflux. Losing around 10% of your current body weight can lessen your acid reflux symptoms greatly. Don't go on a crash diet, though.
Working out right after a meal will not help your acid reflux; in fact, it will make it worse. If you contract your abs during your workout, stomach acid could be forced in your esophagus and cause pain. Wait at least one to two hours after a meal before exercising.
Alcoholic beverages can make acid reflux worse. Alcohol can cause havoc on your stomach, which can hurt your digestive capabilities. If you are going out with friends, limit your alcohol intake if you want to feel good when you get home.
Raise the top part of your bed. Use blocks of wood, bricks or even the raisers made for beds to lift it up. The head should be raised about six inches or so. When your torso and head are elevated, it should stop stomach acid from rising during rest.
Try limiting stress triggers from relationships, school, work, or personal issues. Stress is a major cause of producing too much stomach acid which can cause inflammation and heartburn. See what causes your anxiety and get rid of it right away.
Don't wear restrictive clothing. Belts, underwear, pantyhose and skinny jeans are some typical culprits. This can cause a lot of pressure in the stomach area. Heartburn and reflux can frequently result. Wear clothes that are looser around your middle and offer more comfortable.
Try exercises that keep you upright, like walking. There are many ways this type of exercise improves your acid reflux. For one thing, staying upright allows you to take advantage of the gravity when it comes to digestion. Walking and other moderate exercise also encourages weight loss, which will greatly improve acid reflux. Don't work out too hard or you'll find your reflux is exacerbated.
Avoiding acid reflux often means avoiding stress. Stress can increase the amount of acid you produce. Identify the cause of your stress and get it under control ASAP.
Slippery elm lozenges are optimal to help with your acid reflux. The main ingredient, slippery elm bark, will coat your digestive system with a protective layer. Lozenges also reduce your coughing and soothes your irritated throat. They can be found at most health food and natural remedy outlets.
Acid Reflux
Lose weight if you're heavy. Extra weight, particularly around the middle, can negatively affect acid reflux. The excess weight can force acid into your esophagus from your stomach. Your esophageal liner could be harmed and discomfort could occur. If you want to keep your weight under control, then diet and exercise are key.
Moderate physical activity may assist with acid reflux. It's important the exercise stay moderate. Exercises that are vigorous can actually case reflux, but low-impact exercises could help. Exercises like this keeps your body in an upright stance, which keeps the acids in your stomach down. Finally, exercise can help you shed some pounds. A healthy body weight is another great way to relieve your acid reflux.
Reduce your alcohol intake if you're fighting acid reflux. Alcohol greatly exacerbates excess production of stomach acid. If you must drink alcohol, try drinking at most a couple of glasses and look for alcohol or wine that doesn't worsen your symptoms of acid reflux.
You should never eat less than a few hours before going to bed. When you're awake, your body processes your food much more efficiently. When you wake up, you'll have a bad case of heartburn.
Eat any meal three hours prior to sleeping. If you retire to bed at 11pm, be done eating by 8pm. The LES muscle is under additional pressure when you are lying down after a meal. This leads to the unpleasant effects of reflux.
Avoid gluten if you often get acid reflux. Wheat and barley should only be consumed at a minimum. Millet and quinoa are great grains that can actually help your digestion.
Avoid gluten if you often get acid reflux. Barley, oats, and wheat are high in gluten and should be avoided by those who struggle with reflux. If you want some grains that still give you good fiber but digest better, try millet or quinoa.
Before you hit the sheets, make sure you don't consume a big meal. Because of this, you must avoid eating for at least a few hours before bed. The acids from your food breaking down might cause heartburn if you lay down while full.
If you have acid reflux, then you know how hard it is to eat spaghetti and pizza. Add a small quantity of sugar to the tomato sauce you use for your dishes to limit the acid reflux. The sauce will taste sweeter and digestion will be easier.
If you currently smoke, stop. In addition to the health benefits of quitting smoking, it will help with acid reflux. Smoking increases stomach acids while slowing down the digestive process. Smoking also reduces the production of saliva, which is an important part of digestion. If you do smoke, avoid smoking for at least two hours after eating for best results.
Don't stay in a type of reclined position until at least two hours have passed after you've eaten to avoid reflux. Gravity helps your digestive system do what it needs to do. The amount of time it takes before you can lie down will vary from person to person and also will depend on what was eaten.
You can keep acid reflux away with a smoothie each day. Take a pear, apple, banana, some celery, romaine lettuce and spinach. Throw into a blender with some water and lemon juice and voila. Drinking this concoction each morning will ease constipation, which is often a byproduct of an esophageal sphincter that is relaxed. Because of its alkaline nature, stomach acid will be neutralized.
Eat little or no spicy foods, especially in the evening. Stay away from peppers, jalapenos and Mexican foods. Eating spicy food may trigger acid reflux attacks, and it also dries the skin and causes indigestion.
To help avoid nightly acid reflux attacks, do not eat before bedtime. Eating activates your digestive system. This acid is produced by the stomach. Don't eat close to bedtime. This will help you avoid having excess acids in your stomach when you lie down.
Don't drink as much when you eat. Excessive beverages add to the volume of the contents of your stomach. Whenever your stomach is full, your esophageal sphincter is under more pressure. This is the muscle that helps keep your food down in your stomach and out of your esophagus.
Exercise every day. There are many good benefits of exercising and decreased acid reflux symptoms are one of them. Exercising can help keep your body working like it should and that includes your stomach and digestive system. If exercising causes stomach upset, tone it down a little bit.
Smoothies are great for dealing with acid reflux. Combine ingredients such as water, romaine lettuce, celery, lemon juice, spinach, one pear, one apple and one banana into your blender. This mix could help reduce constipation and tighten the esophageal sphincter. Furthermore, it is quite alkaline, which soothes the acids in the stomach.
Acid Reflux
Acid reflux can be brought on by caffeinated or carbonated beverages. Thinks like coffee can increase the amount of acid in your stomach. In addition, they damage your stomach lining, causing further pain. A better choice would be an herbal tea.
Are you under a lot of stress? If so, you must figure out how to reduce it. Even though stress might not directly cause acid reflux, it does tend to lead to bad vices such as drinking, smoking and binging on food which can make the conditions of acid reflux much worse. Thus, lower your stress, and you can limit your acid reflux problems.
Watch your intake of alcoholic beverages if you suffer from reflux on a regular basis. Beer, liquor and wine cause the esophageal sphincter to relax, allowing acid to rise up. You can have the occasional drink, however try to avoid it in excess if you want to avoid acid reflux.
Be aware of the kind of beverages you drink and how much you drink with your meals. Do you drink soda all day, or drink 12 cups of coffee each day? While you may not go this far, controlling what you drink is key to controlling acid reflux.
Do not lay down after a meal. Acid reflux can result from undigested food that doesn't move properly down through the digestive system. Try moving and remaining upright to help digestion, instead.
Acid Reflux
Aloe vera juice can help with acid reflux. Mix two tablespoons with water, and drink it when a bout of heartburn begins. It helps your bowels stay healthy as well. Natural remedies are typically better than prescription medications, and aloe vera is an excellent natural remedy.
Wearing clothes that are tight can definitely increase the chances of acid reflux. Therefore, wear comfortable clothing that doesn't squeeze your midsection. Restrictive clothing aggravates your digestive system to the point where acid reflux occurs.
Discuss your condition with your doctor. They may be able to provide you with tips or a prescription. It is a good idea for your doctor to rule out any underlying causes of your problems with acid reflux.
Find out which foods seem to be causing discomfort. There are lots of trigger foods out there that cause acid reflux, but each body is different. What triggers pain for you might do nothing to others, so journal your foods and reactions.
Exercise is good for you, but you should time your workout to avoid any issues with acid reflux. To keep issues away, make sure you refrain from exercise after eating for about two hours. To keep things safe, it is best to shoot for a window of three hours. This will help your body to recover.

I'm surrounded by books that promote wholeness – a book to deepen my prayer life, a book to love people different than me, a book to journal my way to creativity, a book that will lead to liberation. All of those subjects belong in the conversation about wholeness. Wholeness is a winding endeavor and yet Mary Tuomi Hammond covers a key leg of the journey her book, The Road toward Wholeness.
She begins her jaunt toward wholeness by describing the problems with perfectionism and burnout. I've experienced by personally and as the pastor of a church, I encounter these concerns regularly. A healthy Christian community, just like other community organizations, is filled with faithful volunteers. Upon reading Hammond's resource, I found myself wondering about balance, boundaries, and conflict in the context of promoting service to others. How do we promote individual health while also encouraging the need for faithful, sacrificial volunteerism? Hammond offers a wonderful resource for Christian communities to answer that question together. Using examples from the Bible, she illustrates many facets of wholeness in Jesus' life. Use it as an individual, share it with a friend, start a book group. Along the road to wholeness, we are all bound to end of on the leg of the journey about which Mary Hammond reflects.
