The women's basketball team earned their first road victory of the season by shooting the ball extremely well en route to topping Hendrix in Conway, Ark., 69-60. The Petrels scored the last 11 points of the first half for a 9 point locker room lead that held up despite a few Warrior challenges in the second stanza.
The scoring went back-and-forth at the outset with neither team gaining larger than a four point advantage throughout the contests first 15 minutes. The Warriors converted an old fashioned three-point play at the free throw line to edge out in front 22-20 with 4:47 left in the half before Oglethorpe made their decisive move.
Katie Weeks started the burst with a three-ball to give OU a one point cushion and Christian Langston followed with a back-to-back jumpers, the second on which she got fouled and converted at the stripe, to up the margin to six. Deadeye Sarah Jones capped the half-ending flourish by drilling a trey just before the horn to send Oglethorpe into halftime owning a 31-22 lead.
The Petrels even pushed the margin in front of the hostile crowd all the way to 13 at the 16:15 mark of the second half when Jones scored, got fouled and nailed her free throw. The Warriors fought back bravely to trim the lead down to four points on four separate occasions down the stretch, but Oglethorpe responded each time to close out the win. Their best defense in thwarting the Warrior rally was superior free throw shooting where Oglethorpe drilled 12-of-13 attempts in the second half to keep Hendrix at bay.
The squad also enjoyed one of their best all-around shooting performances of the season, converting 24-of-52 shots for 46% for the game, including a red-hot 13-of-23 (57%) in the second half.
Katie Weeks led all scorers with 20 points to go along with 4 rebounds. Freshman Aisha Atwater was a perfect 7-of-7 at the charity stripe and scored 11 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and dished three assists. Jones also hit all 5 of her free throw attempts and tallied 13 points on the night.
The victory is the Petrels thrid straight and marks their first three-game winning streak since the '08-'09 season. At 6-13 overall, Oglethorpe will look for their fourth in a row when they face Colorado College on the road this Sunday.

Foursquare's new "venues on steroids"
In a very inspiring announcement that reads like a rags to riches classic, Foursquare got on the SxSW train this year with a brand new client, containing an impressive list of functionality that has the potential to boost it from mere Social Game status to the Serendipity Platform that everyone's waiting for.
This is what happened in their shop window. As it turns out, a lot more was happening in the engine room.
Foursquare BC
Before launching their new venues API (beta), finding something useful to do with Foursquare's data was notoriously difficult.
Let's take, for example, the problem of finding only venues with lots of checkins, in real time. This proved to be a major problem for us while building WOOS.at (mobile only)
These are the limitations:
- Foursquare's normal API calls are rate limited to 500 calls an hour.
- Because of the low barrier to creating venues, the checkin-to-venue ratio is ridiculously low.
- A maximum of 50 venues can be queried from Foursquare per venue search on the API.
- There is no control over which venues are returned. If a venue is not in the 50 returned by a venue search, there's no definite way of getting it.
- The search radius for venue searches on the API is 40km.
Given these limitations, it is possible to process 50 venues, 500 times an hour. This sounds like a lot, but 25000 venues an hour is not that much when you're trying to discover trending venues in real time. Especially if you're firing shots in the dark, and hoping for the best (hitting the same empty venues over and over).
In steps the new venues API.
Foursquare AD
At face level, it doesn't look like much, until you give it a second look, and read the fine print:
- The new API is meant for userless access. This means it is built for bot usage, as opposed to front end usage. Ideal for determining venue trends in real time.
- The new API is rate limited at … 5000 calls an hour!
- There is a new API call, venues/trending, which automatically returns only the trending venues within a configurable radius (up to 2km)
Suddenly, even 500 calls an hour would've been enough.
Foursquare Beyond
Foursquare has a very vast location database. They have achieved this by making it extremely easy to create venues, and by being the first to do so. That is a very valuable resource, if dealt with correctly.
Up to now, Foursquare's venues database was kind of proprietary, in the sense that its usability did not allow it to easily get a life of its own outside of Foursquare itself. It was mainly used for checkins.
By making their venue database accessible and usable, Foursquare have increased the value of the database by an immense amount. Add to this their actual reason for launching the new venues API: Mapping Foursquares venue data to other venue databases, like Facebook, Twitter and Google places.
Suddenly the future looks a lot brighter for Foursquare (and its API consumers)!

We often hear about unexperienced investors who tried to manage their own investments and ended up losing everything. Your money is hard-earned and shouldn't be gambled away by someone who doesn't know what they're doing. It makes more sense for the average person to outsource the management of their financial products. Here's why.
Individual investor performance is low
Studies show that when people invest their money without the guidance of a manager, their performance is disappointing. Without the proper understand of markets and investment tools, an individual can't hope to choose the right investments. In the real estate industry, our ability to pick profitable properties is a result of years of experience and thorough investigation.
Individual investors tend to invest with their emotions
Investing is not about gut-feelings or hunches. It's about sound research and careful valuation of each potential investment. Individual investors have the habit of buying into investments because it sounds interesting, or because their brother-in-law really recommended it. You need someone who is going to make decisions based on cold logic and reason.
Individual investors usually fail to diversify enough
Dumping your entire life's savings into a single investment is a quick way to lose a lot of money. A single dip in the market can set you back years. A financial manager knows that one's money must be spread out among a myriad of opportunities in order to keep it safe. That's why we like to get our partners involved in many of our properties, to insulate them from catastrophe.
Individual investors rarely have the time it takes
We work full time (and then some) to make sure the investment opportunities we present to our partners are carefully vetted and ready to make money. You probably don't have that kind of time. After all, you have a job or business that puts food on your family's table and puts funds into your retirement accounts. It would be very difficult for you to commit the hours necessary to succeed.
Individual investors have better ways to spend their time
In terms of your finances, you have much better ways you could spending your time. Rather than spend the hours needed to understand markets and evaluate investments, it makes more sense for you to put that energy into earning more. Those extra earnings can be added to your growing accounts and further exploit compound interest. For the same reason it's practical to outsource your healthcare and legal advice, so should you outsource your investment advice. Simply, your time is more valuable. If you enjoy the investment world give us a call and we would love to chat with you more about your views and opinions.

Far North
From The Heretic Knowledge Vault
The otherwise unnamed site of the big battle between the elves who are trying to awaken Senilis, and Sarine's party, which is trying to stop them, or at least talk them out of it. It's first mentioned here by Sarine as she tries to enlist Tsuiraku in her quest to slow down the elves, without success. Tsuirakuan General Izayoi shortly lets on that he knows about this place, too, as somewhere "beyond the dwarven ruins."
When Sarine, Meji and the Amraphels arrive in this mysterious place, it's revealed as a set of ruins in their own right, although whether dwarven or of other origins isn't totally clear. Sarine says that earthquakes along a "major fault zone" leveled the city that they gate into, although the details are unclear; in particular, she doesn't know whether it happened "before, during or after" the disappearance of the dwarves. Presumably all will be revealed in good time.
The Far North also exists in the Errant Road game, but it's as remote and enigmatic there as in Errant Story itself, and every bit as menacing.

In every sacrament, there is the very ordinary and human, plus the aspect of divine mystery. Two people fall in love and choose to get married—it happens every day. Two people become one, and in living out their love for each other, become a sign of God's love for the world—that is where the sacrament of marriage flows into mystery. It begins with the wedding and grows with each anniversary. Our clergy and Pre-Cana team will support those preparing for that journey, marriage preparation, and at St. Louis, we also try to provide ongoing support for couples, like a Mass with renewal of vows. To begin the process of scheduling a wedding at our church please contact Shannon or Suzanne at (585) 586-5675,

Twitter…Please don't do it, Advertising??? NO please don't…
While I was reading my Google Reader post from various RSS feeds. I came across a post that is both exciting and disturbing at the same time. In the article that TechCrunch has posed it seems last night or Sunday Night 4/13/08 twitter was doing a little knocking of the gears and some people said they saw ad's being attached to their tweets or in the stream of tweets. While the excitement comes for a company that has yet to monetize twitter, the disturbing or disappointing fact remains that we all subcomb to the beast. The all mighty dollar, $$$$, money, duckets, cnotes, hundeds.
As we all know when you run a business it makes sense to operate in a fashion that will eventually make money. Those of us who run businesses and also twitter for business understand the audience is there and ripe for the pickens. I mean it's not easy to make money from a service that post in 140 characters or less what your doing who would have thunk it.
So it seems like the big bucks have taken a hold of what I considered to be one the truest forms of communications, the talons that the VC's have now sunk into the twitter head honchos is pretty tight. We always get to see something great turn into something foolish and eventully dead because of the VC's fast method of "making money".
I really hope the story is not true but if it is get ready for your post just like your gmail to show you wanted and unwanted ads telling you how great this product is that your twittering about.
Twitter just remember to make a pay subscription so I can immediately turn off my ad as soon as you go live on May 1.
Just my 2 cents.

What to consider before purchasing smoothie blender
Smoothies make a popular breakfast and mid day snack for many people because they are delicious, easy and quick to make and very healthy. Those who are trying to lose weight usually replace one or more of their meals with a big glass of smoothie because it keeps your stomach full without giving you a bunch of extra calories. If you want to start living healthier by adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet, drinking more smoothies is a good way to start. For the most nutritious and delicious smoothies, the most important thing you will need is a good smoothie blender. If you have decided to buy a smoothie blender, here are a few tips to help you select the best one:
Consider the usual number of servings you will be preparing. If you are living alone or usually make personal servings, a single-serve blender is a good option for you, since it's compact, simple to use and the blending jar doubles as a smoothie cup with to-go lid to take your meal to work, gym etc. If you make multiple servings at a time, a full sized or family sized blender will work best for you.
The most popular function that a good smoothie blender usually includes is ice crushing. Not all blenders will allow the addition of ice to your smoothies. You will need to look at the specifications to see if it comes with this capability. If you are looking for a more versatile blender, you can also find options that can do much more than making smoothies. Some can even cook hot soups and sauces for you.
A smoothie blender must have a strong motor to handle ingredients like frozen fruits, ice and hard vegetables. Look for a motor power of at least 500 watts to be able to prepare your smoothies with all the different kinds of ingredients. I found 10 best smoothie blender – reviews & comprehensive guide 2019 helpful for purchasing them online.
Every good appliance should offer a simple cleanup so that you can take it out anytime you want without worrying about the tedious cleanup. The good smoothie blenders usually come with a dedicated cleaning function which simply requires you to add soap and water to the jar, secure the lid and push a button to let the blender clean itself on its own!
Timer options:
If you are too busy to supervise all the time and likely to get involved in other activities while the smoothie is being blended, you may want to choose a blender with automatic timer features which will turn the blender off automatically when the smoothie is ready.

State insurance regulators have ordered the Oregon-based Embassy of Heaven Church and its leader, Paul Revere, to stop making misrepresentations related to insurance in Minnesota, saying a type of auto insurance it promotes through Mutual Assurance is bogus.
The state Department of Commerce, which regulates insurers, announced the cease-and-desist order Wednesday and urged Minnesotans who think they are covered by such auto insurance to contact the Commerce Department.
Department officials said they don't know how many people might be affected but are concerned people may think they are insured when they are not.
"Under the guise of providing 'church-based insurance,' Paul Revere and the Embassy of Heaven Church misled consumers into using phony auto insurance policies," Commissioner Mike Rothman said. "In this classic case of affinity fraud, Embassy of Heaven Church deliberately exploited and manipulated the trust of Minnesotans, specifically targeting members of a faith-based community."
According to the church's website, it is based in Stayton, Ore., and Paul Revere is the pastor.
In a phone interview, Revere said he didn't know anything about the order and hadn't been contacted. He said Minnesota was the first state to take issue. The organization doesn't issue or sell insurance for money, he said, but seeks out assurance from the Lord. Nothing is being sold, he said.
"Assurance is not insurance," Revere said. "Assurance comes from Heaven. If they want to regulate assurance, they have to regulate God."
The case began earlier this year in Renville County when a motorist was cited for not having car insurance. The woman who owned the car, who lives in Boyd, Minn., produced a "Certificate of Self-Insurance" issued by the Embassy of Heaven Church. The certificate showed the woman was a member of Mutual Assurance and indicated it was "a pool of self-insured ministries."
In June, the Renville County attorney's office contacted the Commerce Department about the church's licensing status. An investigation showed the organization operated as an insurer, or self-insurer, under the name Mutual Assurance but didn't have the necessary Minnesota license. The company's website engaged in false and misleading advertising and the insurance isn't valid, Commerce said.
The woman told investigators that she didn't pay any premium for the certificate but believed she had church-based insurance through a group membership with Mutual Assurance. She indicated that she printed the certificate from Mutual Assurance's website, according to a copy of the cease and desist order.
According to the Commerce Department, the U.S. Department of Justice describes the Embassy of Heaven Church as "a religious/antigovernment group in Oregon headed by Paul Revere, the alias of a former computer analyst named Craig Douglas Fleshman." Fleshman reportedly began the church in 1987 and preaches total separation from earthly government.
When asked if the description was accurate, Revere said he didn't know how to respond. He said his organization preaches a loving philosophy and isn't "anti" anything, but is pro-Kingdom of Heaven and that government.
"We don't operate in Minnesota," he said. "We operate in the Kingdom of Heaven."

ERISA plan fiduciaries are subject to a labyrinth of requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements can expose ERISA fiduciaries to significant liabilities. In addition, recent changes to the regulatory, investment and audit environment have complicated the role of the ERISA fiduciary. Plan fiduciaries need to stay on top of developments in this important area.
Our presenters, Howard Levine, David Hudak and David Dacey discussed the following topics:
- Understanding the new definition of 'fiduciary'
- Selecting and monitoring managed accounts
- Department of Labor data mining initiative and recent changes to financial reporting

Dancing Figure
"Certainly as long as any other form of human expression, dance is in our very nature to express ourselves and our desire to be understood. It is a window into another's soul. Through the movements and expressions of dancers, we catch a glimpse of their inner monologue: the joys, agonies, triumphs and failures that are part of the universal human experience."

"Hot Pot" - with five compartments
"Good recipes don't change. Think about it: this hot pot is 2,000 years old. This dish has staying power and is not a trend, like fondue. I think hot pot will be around for another 2,000 years, if only because people like me could eat it at least once a week."
Jason Alexander, The Progress/State Bird Provisions
Jason Alexander (Managing Partner and Wine Director, The Progress and State Bird Provisions)
Wine warmer (zun)
"Wine is greatly affected by temperature. Heat kills bad bacteria in the fermentation process to keep wine clean. I wonder if wine from this period needed to be heated before consumption, or if warm wine was simply a style that was enjoyed. There is hot, mulled wine that uses cooking spices to accentuate flavor, but you don't taste mulled wine for complex baseline. You drink it in celebration!"

Divination board
"Putting faith in inanimate objects is a ritual practice that is found across all cultures and generations.

Cosmetics box

Bath stone
"Oh my, this seems painful! This bath stone looks punishing but would be effective for removing dead skin.

Even in Sephora you can find face loofah that are reminiscent of this bath stone."

Toilet model
"It's remarkable that 2,000 years ago nobility of the Han dynasty enjoyed the pleasure of toilets and bathrooms that were considered a luxury, and that even today toilets are still an unattainable luxury for many. People think toilets are readily available to everyone, but that's far from reality. Access to sanitation and hygiene should be a basic human right and a pleasure that's available to all."

Belt hook in the shape of a dragon
"To me, this artifact is a permanent symbol of what may have been a fleeting romantic connection; its inscription intended to safeguard a memory of love. This basic human need to acknowledge intimacy has remained unchanged throughout time. Today, whether you glance at a lover's photograph or a ring on your finger, you experience the same emotions that these two people shared 2,000 years ago."

Bronze phallus

This exhibition displays 48 color portraits of participants in these jubilant processions that were organized by African American Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs (known as SAPCs) which are a hallmark of the Crescent City. Driven by upbeat music, the second line is a unified whole made up of a first line (SAPC members and the band) and a second line (families, tourists, and neighbors who walk and dance with them). These choreographed dance routines and improvisational steps, in a broader context, serve to exemplify a legacy of African-inspired ritual and performance.

Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX) and Ralph Abraham (R-LA) — and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in the Senate — have introduced resolutions to overturn Barack Obama's Social Security Gun Ban.
As a senior citizen myself … and as one who owns several firearms that I want to pass on as an inheritance to my children one day … this legislation is very important to me.
But first, a little background.
As he was going out the door, Barack Obama made one final obscene gesture to the Second Amendment community.
That gesture consisted of a rule which would troll the Social Security rolls and identify recipients whose checks were processed by a guardian.
Once these people were identified, their names would be inputted into the NICS system, and their guns would be taken away.
Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie — who is chairman of the House Second Amendment Task Force — minced no words in describing Obama's rule. This week, Rep. Massie told GOA that:
If you want to see how ruinous this policy will be to seniors, look at the over one hundred thousand veterans who have been stripped of their Second Amendment rights under a similar procedure through the Department of Veterans Affairs. This ruling is yet another attempt to hurt gun owners and bypass due process. Our seniors deserve better than that.
In places like New York and California, with their gun confiscation programs, SWAT teams could be sent to the homes of Social Security recipients who were identified under the Obama rule.
Our experience is that most gun owners don't have $10-20,000 lying around to hire a lawyer and appeal the ruling.
This process was promulgated pursuant to the "NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007" — which is also known as the "Veterans Disarmament Act".
Gun Owners of America opposed that bill because, as we predicted, it would legitimize gun bans against veterans, and would soon be applied to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid recipients as well.
Tragically, that prediction has now come to pass.
But the passage of the Johnson/Abraham resolution in the House (H.J.Res. 40) — and of the Grassley resolution in the Senate (S.J.Res 14) — will obliterate that anti-gun rule from the law.
And, because it is being passed under a special procedure (called the Congressional Review Act), they will be considered under special parliamentary rules and cannot be filibustered in the Senate.
Thus, they will need only a majority vote in the Senate and the House, and President Donald Trump is sure to sign.

Executive Director Emeritus, Gun Owners of America

OneNote Now on Mac and Free
When we started OneNote we set out to revolutionize the way people capture, annotate, and recall all the ideas, thoughts, snippets and plans in their life. As many of you have attested, OneNote is the ultimate extension for your brain, but it's not complete if it's not instantly available everywhere. We've already made a lot of progress in that direction with our mobile, tablet and online web experiences. But there was still a gap. People frequently asked us for OneNote on Mac, and for more ways to capture content.

You Could Afford a Home for Less Down Than You Think
Buying a home with no money down is still possible. There are six ways to buy a home with little or no money down.
Here in Colorado Springs, the most prevalent is the VA loan. For this product, you must have had at least two years of military service or have a spouse who has served. This program will allow you to purchase for no money down.
Another product which allows for 0% down is the USDA loan. However, this loan is location-specific, so keep that in mind.
First-time buyer programs can also be a great help. These programs, such as CHFA (Colorado Housing and Financing Authority) and El Paso County Turnkey, will either gift you the down payment or finance it at 0%.
"There are a number of programs specifically designed to assist first-time homebuyers."
FHA financing is another, more traditional method of obtaining a lower down payment. This particular program allows you to put just 3.5% down, and are slightly more forgiving toward lower credit scores.
Credit unions and banks actually have a number of specific programs designed to assist first-time homebuyers in purchasing property for little or no money down.
There's also the route of a conventional loan. Conventional loans typically allow buyers to get into a home for as little as 5% down, though some banks will allow first-time buyers to put down just 3%.
If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

We have all heard about the 'wine and dine' scenes. The elegance with which Mariah Carey toasts the wine glass is absolute bliss and a sheer joy to the eyes. As a girl, all of us must have associated her toasting with sheer elegance, charm, and sophistication. It is that elegance and sophistication wine gets along with it. It is that curiosity of a girl which makes us first go figure wine out and then fall in love with it. This article is going to be a step by step guide to the best girly wine for all you beautiful women out there!
So firstly, let's get to the basics of this wonder drink.
What is wine? What is it made off?
Wine is said to be an alcoholic drink which is made from grapes, generally fermented without the addition of sugar, acids, and enzymes. The earliest known wine dates back to the 7000 BC in China. The older the wine is, it is said to be better in taste and feel.
What are the various kinds of wine?
Some of the variants are listed below:
White Wine
The ever-glorious white wine is usually gold-yellow in color. It is the fermentation of the non-colored grapes which produces the white wine. The grapes are skinned with utmost care so that they do not hamper the beautiful gold-yellow color of the white wine.
Fruit Wine
Red Wine
Who has never heard the term Red wine? All of us have! Red wine is the most popular one and is also called the best wine for date night. The Red wine is made by the extraction of color and flavor from the dark-colored grapes. It tastes soothing to the taste buds and gives an absolutely charming high to be able to enjoy the while.
Is wine good for ladies?
Ladies usually associate their drinks with wine. Like come on, it all started with a vodka and then gradually when a girl becomes a woman she naturally shifts to wine; one of her best friend. Generally, this question keep doing the rounds that whether wine is good for ladies? Yes, absolutely is! There are a number of reasons as to why ladies wine should be considered a boon. Here is a list of the benefits of wine on ladies:
- Red wine consists of a super antioxidant called resveratrol, which helps in reducing heart diseases, diabetes to name a few.
- It is said that red wine reduces the risk of cancer in women.
- A number of beauty products use wine, as they help in reducing the effects of aging.
I personally feel that a moderate consumption of wine is good and healthy.
Like mentioned, here is a step by step walk to the world of best girly wine. These wines are said to be made for women. They are known as the ladies wine. It is said that these wines were made for the ladies and advertised majorly towards the fairer sex as well.
List of top 10 best girly wine
1. Arbor Mist Strawberry White Zinfandel
This ladies wine is said to be the best wine for date night. Give it to the color or the taste, which is said to be a fruity champagne. It is sweet, light, fruity and peachy. Ladies absolutely love this wine. Arbor Mist Strawberry White Zinfandel holds as much as 6% alcohol and is made up of White Zinfandel like the name suggests. It has water, high fructose, syrup, citric acid, and preservants. The tagline of this fruity beauty reads "up for anything". That is so lovely!
2. Skinnygirl California Rose
This is one of the best cheap romantic wines, or best wine for girlfriends. It is pocket-friendly and widely had on a TV night with girlfriends. The tag says "Drink Like a Lady". It tastes a lot like the communion wine, just a little less intense. It is not loved by everybody, it is said that one needs to develop a taste for this. But it is one of the best girly wine to have.
3. Happy Bitch Rose
This is the perfect pink blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Women love this and it is largely considered as the best girly wine of all times. It tastes like college! Extremely subtle and refreshing in taste, this cheap wine is a perfect for the next ladies night.
4. Be. Flirty Pink Moscato
This says "The mood is Yours". This is the mood builder. It is easy on the pocket and classifies as cheap romantic wine. It is an absolute hit with the girlfriends and hence one of the best girl wines of all times. It is said to taste Flat-fruity and tangy in its own delicious way. People love this. Unlike various other wines wherein a person needs to develop a taste, this is easy to go on.
5. Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato
This tingly wine was made for women of all race and creed. As the tagline read "Hear and soul" this wine is literally the heart and soul for most of the girls out there. It is sparkly and extremely sophisticated to look at. The high that this wine gives is a happy one and helps to enjoy.
6. Tisdale Chocolate Red wine
This chocolate wrapped in beauty, or shall we say beauty wrapped in chocolate? It is like a chocolate fountain with the tinge of cherries and red wine in a glass. What love this is for the women of the century! This is one of the best girly wine and is an absolute hit amongst the fairer sex.
7. Kir-Yianni Akakies Sparkling Rosé
Kir-Yianni is one of Amyndeon's top producers, located in the mountains of northwest Greece. This sparkler looks like rose petals and smells of fresh cherries and strawberries, is typical of the Xinomavro varietal. Pronounced acidity adds nerve and lifts, balancing with the wine's elegant sweetness. It is one of the most popular best girly wine in different countries.
8. Bertani Soave Vintage
Bertani has been making wine in the Veneto province in northeast Italy for over 160 years. This vibrant yellow beauty is one of the finest the Soave Classico region has to offer. Made in the traditional style of Soave, 60 percent of the grapes are vinified using red wine-making techniques. The reasons behind is to persuade the maximum aromatics from the delicate Garganega grapes. The crisp acidity plays great with the intense peach and apricot flavors.
9. J Vineyards 2014 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
The J Vineyards Pinot noir is one of the best girly wines. The scent of red cherries and wild strawberries in J Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is intoxicating. This pinot noir has perfect notes of anise, raspberries and baked bread underscored by a hint of hibiscus on the long finish.
10. Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV
Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV is a blend of 60 cru vineyards. It has a voluptuous nose with notes of baked croissants and dried fruits. On the palate, it's lush and velvety while nougat and red fruit flavor mix with hints of vanilla frosting.
Enjoy the night with the best bottle of wine!
I personally feel one should drink whatever they like and can hold. It is all about enjoying the taste and enjoying dinner and the night. The list included a perfect amalgamation of the best ladies wine brands, cheap romantic wines, best wine for girlfriends. The aforementioned is a list of all the various kinds of wines you would want to have without digging a hole into your pocket. Carry a box of donuts, cheese, cupcakes whatever suits you and carry the best bottle of wine as per your taste buds and have the best night with your girlfriends. If you are still confused, then grab a bottle of Arbor Mist from your nearest store and meet your girlfriends.

My most ambitious sketch of mine, "Shiva-Shakti: Energy of Universe at Place". Whole sketch denotes the all the three-phase of life Shiva: The destroyer, The Dancer (Nat-Raj), The Lover; with his source of energy…. Goddess Shakti in the form of beauty and a lover…… Whole sketch centered by the Goddess Shakti, which represent the 'Nature', with her lovable son Ganesha, hidden in the leafs playing with her mother and animals like monkey, elephant etc.. This sketch represents the life of Shiva and his family, with their living place and love for nature…………………. In other words it came true what i written below…..
SHIVA symbolises consciousness, the masculine principle.
SHAKTI symbolises the feminine principle, the activating power and energy.
Whenever a power becomes active, and wherever energy exists, Shakti is working. Other terms for these primal principles are PURUSHA and PRAKRITI; Purusha is consciousness and Prakriti is nature.
Lord Shiva is generally portrayed holding a trident, which represents the trinity of Īshwara, Purusha and Prakriti .
Īshwara is the omnipresent, eternal, formless divine principle; Purusha is the Ātmā and Prakriti is the manifestation, nature. An electric light can be used to explain their relationship. The electric current, which is the source of the light, is Īshwara; the light is Purusha, and the object that is illuminated is Prakriti.
SHAKTI (or Prakriti) means energy, power, movement, change, nature. It is the maternal principle – the provider, abundance. In the human as well as in the animal kingdom the mother offers nourishment, warmth and security. There is no greater love than the love of a mother. The mother carries and nourishes the child in her own body. When it is born she provides it with mother's milk and raises it at the sacrifice of her own self until it becomes self-reliant.
SHIVA (or Purusha), on the other hand, is pure consciousness – the unchanging, unlimited and unswayable observer. Purusha has no desires whatsoever; these are inherent only in Prakriti. Purusha is the empty, clear screen onto which Prakriti projects her colourful film.

IDOE Report Shows Voucher System Costs State $16 Million
The private school voucher system is costing the state around $16 million, according to a report the Department of Education released this week that detailed the financial impact of the voucher system.
The AP reports that the report indicates the voucher system saved the state more than $4 million in both the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years.
The AP writes that a change during the last school year broke the saving streak:
But changes that allowed some students already attending private schools to begin receiving state aid ended up costing the state $15.8 million for the school year that just ended.
Daniel Altman, a Department of Education spokesman, delivered a limited explanation for the sudden change between school years.
"The Department is committed to a transparent accounting of how taxpayer dollars are spent. The update (in) today's report reflects recent growth in the Choice program," Altman said in an emailed statement.
As we've reported, the program grew every year since it started three years ago:
20,000 Hoosier kids are using state-funded tuition vouchers at Indiana private schools — more than double the number who did last year.
Indiana's 3-year-old voucher program is growing quickly because it doesn't limit participation to kids assigned to struggling schools.
Indiana's voucher program gives low-income students the choice to attend private schools under state money that is also allocated to public schools on a per-pupil basis.
Governor Pence is a proponent of the program and wanted to expand it further, but that plan didn't go forward because of cost concerns.
The program did expand to allow students with a sibling already attending a private school to be eligible for a voucher without attending a public school for one year first, which was one of the original criteria for a student to receive a voucher.

Miss Lion, Miss Lion! I have a question.
Miss Lion, Miss Lion! I have the answer.
The boys raise their hands and hope to be called on.
Miss Lion, however, has something else in mind.
She's trying to decide which boy to suck off.
Standardized testing creates a lot of stress. English
teachers and their colleagues in geography, Spanish
and arts appreciation all have it easy. Female teachers
of geometry and algebra have fantasies of blowing
their fourteen-year-old male students.
Why this should be so is not easy to explain.
It wasn't so in my day. Mrs. Mills, I can assure you,
had no such thing on her mind. It's most definitely
generational. Like their male counterparts in the NFL,
these gals seem determined to take a knee.
Have you noticed it's always 23-year-old blondes with husbands
who get caught in the front seat with naked adolescents? Or
they bring a couple of teen-agers home for an orgy. They arouse
the boys first by sending naked photos on Instagram. Sooner or later
the pictures wind up on the Principal's desk.
If you read the New York Post you'll notice this phenomenon rarely
involves men. Male math teachers seem able to control themselves.
It's the pretty wives of working class men who seem unable to resist.
What is it about pimply faces and little dicks that attracts these women?
Boredom, no doubt, plays a part. The boys, one assumes, are nervous wrecks.
Is it their innocence or their politeness? "Yes, Miss Lion, whatever
you say." That must be a turn-on: Their sweet dispositions and their
soft peach fuzz. I can see how the ladies find them charming. All
across America, in cities like Chattanooga and Tulsa, Albuquerque
and Des Moines, Iowa, young female teachers seem desperate.
Interesting, too, how understanding and forgiving our judiciary is.
Men who molest students, male or female, get called perverts and
are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 20 years to life is not
too much for these monsters. But the demure math teacher is forgiven.
She gets a suspended sentence or probation. Cock-sucking is natural.
Teaching provides little satisfaction. Perhaps herein lies the answer.
There is little learning and not much teaching. English teachers can
show movies. The Spanish teacher makes piñatas. In the gym, they play
tag and when nobody is watching, the coaches make the boys do pushups.
It's the math teacher who wants to pull her hair out when the boys can't count.
They don't know their multiplication tables and they forget their calculators.
So, substitutes throw up their hands and offer to help the boys pass sex
education. They gamble away their lives, their good names, and their profession
to have an adolescent cock in their mouths. Who can blame them? This is, in
many instances, all they have to give. Our culture is bankrupt.

MUMBAI: Yet another ransomware attack termed 'WannaCry[pt]' has sent the cyber sphere into a tizzy.
The malicious strain of malware has already devastated over 300,000 computers across 150 countries since last week.
According to reports, Cyber security experts across the globe have alerted Internet users of a possible riot of 'WannaCry[pt]' attack.
Reports suggest, the malware exploited vulnerability in the Microsoft software, and the same Windows vulnerability (MS17-010) has been used to rage another noxious malware to generate digital cash from machines it has infected.
According to media report, over three lakh computers globally have been affected by the 'Adylkuzz attack' that specifically target machines, slows them and generate 'Monero' cryptocurrency (digital cash).
The term 'Monero' has been propagated by North Korea-linked hackers who created an open-source cryptocurrency in April 2014 that focuses on privacy, decentralisation and scalability. As an alternative to Bitcoin, it is used by the cyber crooks to trade in narcotic substances, pilfered or stolen credit cards and phony goods.
The hackers need to mine cryptocurrency using computers/computing devices (IoT included). Mining of cryptocurrency implies solving complex cryptography issues designed within the algorithm of a cyber-currency that requires a lot of computing," said Saket Modi, CEO and Co-founder of Delhi-based IT risk assessments provider Lucideus.
While the world is battling to quell the massive 'WannaCry[pt]' attack, it continues to emerge as the most lethal cyber threat for the corporate world and individuals—causing huge global economic losses to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, over 150 Indian companies have had to face the brunt of the 'ransomware'. As per statistics, India alone faces four to five per cent of the total ransomware attacks, while the US is most affected with 34 per cent of the ransomware carnage globally.
World braces for yet another cryptocurrency carnage

Cool - I've read 2 of those this year, Small Island, Idea of Perfection. Both are great, but I liked Small Island (with it's wrong title) better. Half a Yellow Sun is the class of that crowd though.ReplyDelete
I may not finish Affinity in time but I'm certainly going to try! My vote is for Small Island just because I've had it on my shelf for years and really need something to push me to finally pick it up. I've liked Levy's other work so I'm sure it's pretty good. We'll see... May the best title WIN!ReplyDelete
Oooooooooooooh, can't wait to see what gets picked! All are titles that kind of intimidate me!ReplyDelete
I have been meaning to read Small Island for sooo long!ReplyDelete

I was casting about, trying to put some words together about Nick's fourth randori hint...
Invest in loss...repeat the pattern that is causing you a problem so many times that your subconscious is stimulated to respond and solve it for you ....it should surprise you [...because, if you have the power to overcome your problems with the first solution you think up, they're not really problems. You want to train your subconscious to come up with better solutions to more outrageous problems than your conscious mind ever could.]
...but I don't think that I could rephrase or expand on it any better without writing a book. Following are a couple of talking heads from YouTube talking about this idea - you just have to mentally replace the word, "taichi" with "aikido" or "judo." The first one is definitely the better discussion, but the second one, Josh Waitzkin, is such an interesting guy that I thought I'd throw that one in even though he didn't seem to have too much to say about the topic at hand.

Welcome to the Infection Control online newsfeed. Here you'll find all the latest research, news stories, policy updates and guidelines. View our other newsfeeds for more subject-specific news.
Saint, S. The Journal of Hospital Infection. Published online: November 28, 2016
Preventing healthcare-associated infection remains an international priority given the clinical and economic consequences of this largely preventable patient safety harm. While important strides have been made in preventing hospital infections over the past several decades, thorny issues remain, including how to consistently improve hand hygiene rates and further reduce device-related complications such as catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
Rather than relying solely on directional innovations – incremental changes that continue to serve as the bedrock of scientific advancement – perhaps we should also search for "intersectional innovations," which represent breakthrough discoveries that emanate from the intersection of often widely divergent disciplines. Several intersectional innovations that have the potential to greatly impact infection prevention efforts include human factors engineering, sociology, and engaging the senses. Indeed, Professor Edward Joseph Lister Lowbury, the namesake of this lecture, exemplified intersectional thinking in his own life having been both an accomplished bacteriologist and poet. By incorporating approaches outside of traditional biomedical science we will hopefully provide patients with the safe care they expect and deserve.

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to determine maternal clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound findings that effectively predict the occurrence of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in high-risk pregnant women.
Conclusions: This is the first prospective cohort study to suggest that the presence of CMV-DNA in the maternal uterine cervical secretion and ultrasound fetal abnormalities was predictive of the occurrence of congenital CMV infection in high-risk pregnant women.

Background: Controlling antibiotic use in healthcare establishments limits their consumption and the emergence of bacterial resistance.
Aim: We evaluated the efficiency of an innovative antibiotic-stewardship strategy implemented over 3 years in a university hospital.
Conclusion: This computerized, shared-access, antibiotic-stewardship strategy seems to be time-saving and effectively limited misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Frost, S.A. et al. Critical Care. Published online: 23 November 2016
Background: Health care-associated infections (HAI) have been shown to increase length of stay, the cost of care, and rates of hospital deaths . Importantly, infections acquired during a hospital stay have been shown to be preventable. In particular, due to more invasive procedures, mechanical ventilation, and critical illness, patients cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at greater risk of HAI and associated poor outcomes.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis of the effectiveness of CHG bathing to reduce infections among adults in the ICU has found evidence for the benefit of daily bathing with CHG to reduce CLABSI and MRSA infections. However, the effectiveness may be dependent on the underlying baseline risk of these events among the given ICU population. Therefore, CHG bathing appears to be of the most clinical benefit when infection rates are high for a given ICU population.

Guidance on transmission routes and precautions in healthcare settings | PHE
Image shows molecular model from X-ray diffraction data of a rhinovirus particle.
Avoiding transmission of acute respiratory infections in healthcare settings can prevent considerable mortality, morbidity and healthcare costs. Patients in healthcare settings, which include acute hospitals, outpatient clinics, A&E departments, specialised units and primary care, are often vulnerable because of age or chronic disease, and may suffer more severe disease or complications from acute respiratory infections.
This document summarises recommendations for the prevention and control of acute respiratory infections in healthcare settings for clinical and public health colleagues. Preventing infection in healthcare settings requires the consistent application of infection control measures by healthcare workers and the involvement of the local infection control team. It also requires efforts to: maximise coverage of seasonal influenza vaccine among vulnerable groups and healthcare workers, and limit the spread of infection by visitors or infected staff, as well as general education and awareness-raising.

Clinique Redness Solutions Review
Dealing with acne rosacea is a whole different ball game than treating acne like blackheads or whiteheads.
The thing about acne rosacea is that hardly any acne treatments are tailored to address redness.
Clinique offers a Redness Solutions treatment line that claims to help address reactive redness or persistent redness. Will Clinique Redness Solutions really we able to smooth and balance out irritated skin? This depends entirely on the ingredients.
About Clinique Redness Solutions
The Redness Solutions line should relieve blotchiness, soothe discomfort, and reduce redness. Better skin should be seen in about two weeks, but what kind of products is Clinique offering?The variety of Redness Solutions includes an Urgent Relief Cream. The Urgent Relief Cream soothes upset skin and should calm flare-ups almost instantly.
Clinique Redness Solutions Ingredients
Urgent Relief Cream happens to contain 0.5% hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone is considered an over-the-counter steroid and as it turns out this ingredient can actually cause rosacea itself.The Urgent Relief Cream is more for reactive redness. Redness Solutions offers a Daily Relief Cream for persistent redness.
Daily Relief Cream soothes the skin from itchiness or irritation using green tea extract and shea butter alongside numerous other ingredients.Another Redness Solutions is the Daily Protective Base SPF 15. This protective base can be used every morning as a primer under makeup to protect the skin from UVA/UVB exposure that aggravates rosacea. The treatment even has a green tint to counteract the appearance of redness.
The last Redness Solutions treatment is the Soothing Cleanser. The cleanser removes impurities from the skin, preserves moisture on the skin, and can be used a mild exfoliator.To go through every ingredient in each treatment is a waste of time. A lot of these treatments contain several of the same ingredients as moisturizers or fillers.
The bottom line with Clinique Redness Solutions is that a lot of people who suffer from rosacea have expressed disappointment in the products. Numerous people receive mediocre results and the reputation the product line is getting isn't very good.

My lovely fiancée and I are getting married this month so I decided to stop blogging for a month. It's only a short hiatus as I will be back and blogging regularly (Wednesdays and weekends) as of March 1st. Until then, please feel free to hit up the archives! You can find all the installments of my two biggest ongoing projects, The Blog Fantastic and the PokéJournal on the side menu. I also encourage you to check out the newest project page called Year of the Unread where I keep track of all my own-but-unread books and actually sit down and read them.
See you at in a month.

Summer is eight days away. The longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, is June twenty-first and the official first day of Summer. However, our local schools let students out last week. So my teenagers now have a ten week break from high school. That's fifty days, not counting the weekends. Fifty days of Summer. Long, hot, slow days to sleep in, or get up early and enjoy an entire cup of coffee in quiet and solitude. Maybe I will take the dog for a walk, read everyday, spend time at the sea shore. I want to eat ice cream, get a pedicure, spend time with friends. Perhaps I will buy a book of poems, enjoy a cocktail at sunset, grill some shrimp. I love summer, and not just because it's my birthday season. But because there is time to catch up, explore, just be.
Fifty days is quite significant. It's long enough to conjure up some real goals, and perhaps even accomplish a few of them. I am going to complete ten projects (that's one per week) that I have started over the past few years, but never quite finished. Also, do some real and focused writing on a book idea that has been playing like a broken record in my mind for nearly twenty years. How many pages can I write in fifty days? And perhaps I will do some resting, relaxing, just being…I think I will schedule that in as well. Backward planning starts today and I kind of like that about myself.
