GlaistigBy Eric Cagle
"It was more than a song. It tore its way into my soul, calling me to come closer . . . to come closer. I could do naught else but obey. And then, when I saw her, my soul fell to pieces and I was hers forever. That's all that I remember, m'lord. I don't know how the other men died. When I woke up -- I think I woke up -- they were all in pieces all around me! But it wasn't me who killed them, I swear!"
-- Testimony of Tull Arvis, Former Blackwoods Guardsman
Because of their magical nature, fey can take on almost any form, though most are drawn to beautiful humanoid forms. Glaistigs are fey who uses their natural beauty, charm, and beguiling voices to lure innocent victims close to their lairs. Once the victim draws close enough, it lashes out and sucks the blood of its prey.
Most glaistig encounters occur when the creatures use their voices to entice characters, but there are other methods of using this monster. Because they are highly intelligent and well versed in enchantments, a glaistig could have convinced nearby beings that she is nothing more than a reclusive spinster or wise woman -- until children and livestock start to go missing. Regardless of how you use them, remember that glaistigs work best through lies, deceit, and good old-fashioned red herrings.
Beautiful and enchanting, glaistigs are fey that lurk in and around pools, lakes, and streams. They have an insatiable craving for the blood of mortals, beguiling victims to come close to their lair in order to drain them. Though sometimes mistaken for vampires because of their bloodsucking technique, they are not undead.
Glaistigs resemble incredibly attractive female humans or half-elves. Most have snow-white hair and eyes that shimmer like water. When they smile, glaistigs try not to show their teeth (sharp, cruel-looking fangs), revealing them only when they strike. Instead of normal legs, glaistigs have those of a goat, with long white fur. Glaistigs wear long, fine robes and dresses that drape along the ground to hide their legs. They loathe showing their legs to anyone, and reveal them only to lash out in anger. If someone catches sight of a glaistig's goat legs, she becomes very angry and attacks the offender.
Despite their single-minded lust for blood, glaistigs are unpredictable and capricious. If they have recently fed (say, within a month), they are just as likely to help someone as to attack. Conversely, more than a few people have been attacked by a glaistig who has talked with and been friendly toward them in the past. Glaistigs enjoy dancing; some lure their victims to caper and dance for many hours before descending upon them.
Glaistigs are solitary by nature and do not even like other fey all that much. While they gain no sustenance from the blood of sylvan creatures, glaistigs have been known to attack fey that intrude into their territory. Perhaps because of their similar nature, glaistigs do not like dryads in particular; one rarely finds the two beings in the same area.
Glaistigs use their beguiling song to lure victims close to the water, targeting specific individuals. If a large group comes close to their lair, they lurk beneath the surface until only one or two remain. Glaistig are mystically bound to their watery lairs and cannot move farther than 300 yards from them.
Once a victim comes within striking distance, the glaistig ceases singing and grapples the opponent (grapple bonus +4). If the grab is successful, it drains blood for as long as possible. Should reinforcements arrive, the glaistig tries to use suggestion, hypnotism, or fog cloud to cause a diversion and slip beneath the surface of her watery home.
Beguiling Song (Su): A glaistig can attempt to beguile creatures with its song. The glaistig sings, targeting a single creature it can see within 300 yards of the body of water to which it is linked (see water symbiosis, below). This is a sonic, mind-influencing effect, and the creature must be able to hear the glaistig for it to work.
The targeted creature must make a Will saving throw (DC 18). If the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected by that glaistig's song for one day. Failure indicates the creature is utterly beguiled and moves toward the glaistig, taking the most direct route available. If that path leads into a dangerous area (such as very deep or fast-moving water), the beguiled creature gets a second saving throw. A glaistig who desires a companion may move out of the water and bestow water breathing upon its beguiled victim so it can take him underwater. A beguiled creature takes no actions other than to defend himself. (Thus, a fighter cannot run away or attack, but suffers no defensive penalties.) A beguiled victim who moves within 5 feet of the glaistig must make a Will saving throw (DC 18) or be charmed per charm monster (caster level 8th). Success means that the character is freed of the beguilement and is immune to that glaistig's beguiling song for one day. The beguiling effect continues so long as the glaistig sings. The glaistig does not need to continue to sing to keep a victim charmed.
A glaistig can use its beguiling song both above and below the water. Most glaistigs move into deep water, forcing a beguiled victim to move toward them. If these unlucky creatures fail their second saving throw, they usually drown (see "The Drowning Rule" in the Dungeon Master's Guide).
Blood Drain (Ex): A glaistig can suck blood from a grappled living victim with its fangs by making a successful grapple check (grapple bonus +4) to pin. If it succeeds in pinning the foe, it drains blood, inflicting 1d4 points of Constitution drain each round the pin is maintained.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day -- dancing lights, fog cloud, hypnotism, suggestion; Caster level 8th; save DC 13 + spell level.
Fast Healing (Ex): A glaistig regains lost hit points at the rate of 3 per round. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, and it does not allow the glaistig to regrow or reattach lost body parts.
Low-Light Vision: The creature can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar low-light conditions.Resistances (Ex): The glaistig ignores up to 10 points of cold and fire damage each round.
Water Symbiosis (Su): Each glaistig is mystically bound to a body of water or a waterway as small as a pond or as large as a lake or river. Although aquatic, a glaistig can move as far as 300 yards from the body of water to which it is bound and breathe normally. If the glaistig strays farther than that, it must hold its breath or immediately start to drown (see "The Drowning Rule" in the Dungeon Master's Guide). Once a glaistig has moved beyond the boundary of its connection, it cannot breathe normally until it has immersed itself in its body of water.
Skills: A glaistig receives a +2 racial bonus on Bluff and Sense Motive checks.

The rising power curve in any video game, be it ARPGS, strategy titles and so on is an important part of offering progression to the player and part of raising the power curve involves the use of pure upgrades to make the player feel powerful.
However continuing to balance your game with bigger and more powerful items can lead to balancing issues or the player feeling weak instead. This is where the concept of sidegrades come in and how they can provide more depth compared to a rising power curve.
Don't Starve was a surprisingly well designed game mixing the brutal act of survival in a world that seemed home in a Tim Burton movie. After months of free content and updates, Klei Entertainment went to work on the first official expansion to Don't Starve: Reign of Giants. And while it definitely adds more to the world, there is still one area where I have to argue with Klei's design.
These last few weeks seemed to have been a really great time for expansions, between Diablo 3's Reaper of Souls, Don't Starve's Reign of Giants and the FTL Advanced Edition. Each game shows a different aspect of what it means to make an expansion for your game, which the term expansion has changed quite a bit from the old days as DLC has picked up the slack.
With news surrounding big names in the adventure genre like Telltale's The Walking Dead, Jane Jensen's Moebius and Doublefine's Broken Age, it may be easy to overlook the conclusion of a fairly recent adventure series. The Blackwell series done by Wadjet Eye Games has reached the end of its five game story with Blackwell Epiphany and manages to deliver an excellent conclusion to a classic throwback.

I have read the tutorial on strutures and I have a simple question.
I would try it out myself but don't have a compiler on hand.
Say I've defined a struture
Now the above has "created" a variable called an_example to access this particular structure.Code:struct example { int x; }; example an_example; //Treating it like a normal variable type an_example.x=33; //How to access it
As my program runs it will need to access different instances of the structure so how to I get it to "create/access an instance of structure?
In in the above code, rather than "an_example" can I actually have an array or something? that way I can access different elements in that array hence different instances of the structure?

Eco-friendly actress Cameron Diaz (What Happens In Vegas) is apparently also animal-friendly. The 35 year old blonde airhead took in an injured lost dog over this weekend, and reunited him with his owner, even going to the trouble of later visiting the pet at the vet's.
Diaz, despite being one of America's highest paid actresses, is believed by many to be one of the least deserving, most untalented, annoying and ugly A-list actress out there, with people nicknaming her "Pizzaface", "Joker smile", or simply "hag", but I on the contrary think she's a knockout and one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood. So, what does that say about me? All I know is I'm glad her heart matches her looks (or according to some people, transcends them).
Cameron Diaz will next be seen alongside James Marsden (27 Dresses) and Frank Langella (Superman Returns) in the science-fiction thriller The Box, written & directed by Richard Kelly (Southland Tales) and based on a short story by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend).

Lightweight materials and design are becoming increasingly important in many industries, playing an especially significant role in the automotive industry where the use of lightweight materials is anticipated to double over the next 20 years.
Although advanced high strength steels make up the bulk of this growth, composite materials will play an increasing role in OEM strategies. Originally focused on Formula 1 vehicles 30 years ago, today the application of composites has also been extended to luxury and premium vehicles for low volume production and are beginning to infiltrate the mass market.
The use of carbon fiber components offers the highest level of weight reduction.
Additionally, use of composites can reduce the number of components required within a vehicle. Manufacturing a body panel or a component becomes a simpler process that uses fewer production stages that can result in lower manufacturing costs. For example:
So, the benefits of composites go beyond weight savings. Carbon fiber also offers new degrees of styling flexibility in vehicle design, providing more opportunity for differentiation. And, these materials are more resistant to dents and dings than aluminum, steel or thermoplastics.

Today was Annabel's first day back at school. She has been feeling better day by day since her surgery. Yesterday was our visit to her neurosurgeon and he basically released her. She will not begin Physical Therapy as of yet, but she may return to school and speech therapy.
To say that I am amazed by all that has taken place in the past two week is an understatement. When Dr. J told us that she needed this surgery for a tethered cord he had two MRI's to back this up. A fairly drastic curve in her spine in a relatively short period of time. But he was honest about the results of the surgery not being a high percentage. One thing was certain that this little girl was in a lot of pain and had been for a while concerning her spine. Because Annabel has several health issue aside and stemming from Trisomy 18, he felt there was a good chance that some of these problems could be helped. From the very beginning I had much faith in Dr. J. He never questioned her diagnosis. I have come to believe that the younger doctors have a more open outlook/opinion concerning Trisomy 18. A few of the issue that could be improved would be her oxygen(due to her left lung being compressed with the curve), improvement to her neurogenic bladder/bowel, her overall discomfort. When Dr. J came to consult with us right after the surgery, he said she did extremely well with her sedation and he felt well with the surgery but that time would tell if it would be successful and how successful it would be. Due to her GI issue that occured right after surgery it was hard to tell, but we were lucky to get a GI consult and a new take on her GI issues. More on that later. With each day Annabel's soreness decrease. She has been so happy and much more comfortable. She has been scooting on her back, arching her back and really moving her legs in ways she didn't prior to the surgery. In the hospital right after surgery, they wanted to allow her to urinate, the immediately ultrasound her bladder, then I had to cath to confirm her residuals. At this point I was disappointed as to her residual were still in between 120-200cc. With each passing day we have seen more wet diapers and residuals becoming less and less. Ideally her urologist wanted them to be less than 30cc which was never for Annabel. In the last two day they have been less than 30cc and today I only felt the need to cath her one time. Also concerning her bowels, she was on two adult doses of Miralax daily and struggling to get this amount to move her. At this point we are down to 1/4 of this dose daily and this is producing 2 -3 BM's daily. She doesn't strain at all for either urinating or bowel movements. She doesn't draw herself up in pain ever, as this was happening each time someone tried to pick her up prior to surgery. She is still needing oxygen during sleep but much less spell of alarming. It has only been two weeks today, but according to Dr. J his words are that he really cannot be happier that what is happening post surgery at this point. Her sleep has also improved to almost 12 hours with continuous sleep. She will wake if she has a wet or dirty diaper at night and also if she can't reach her pacifier. But she returns to sleep. She wakes with a smile that rarely leaves her face the entire day unless she is in deep thought, watching her movie or sleepy.
With the GI consult prior to discharge we had two fresh new residents/fellows consult with her over the abnormal KUB done on Sunday before being discharged on Monday. They listening patiently to her history. They commented on the amount of air/gas that filled her tummy once again almost continuously since her surgery in June. I had told them about her drastic decrease in oral intake(baby food) and that her abdomen was almost always distended and tight, feeling and sounding like a empty drum. After reviewing the testing that was done while in the hospital he suggested that he didn't think she was able to process the sugars in her foods or the breastmilk, pediasure or any of her past feeds. He said her feedings were fermenting and basically rotting in her tummy. He wanted her off all oral feedings until a swallow study could be done and wanted her on Pediatric Compleat. This is meats, veggies, fruits etc. that has been processed into formula. She has ( 4), 40z.feedings a day, with continuous feeds from 8 p.m. til 8 a.m. at 43 ml. per hour. This gives her right at 1000 calories daily. Not one day has her tummy been distended or made all her alien noises. The only time was when I was eating and I felt so bad that maybe she was wondering why I wasn't feeding her so I gave her her pudding. I paid the price that night with her being very uncomfortable and a distended belly. Only time will tell if this is what Annabel needs but we have not seen her this happy in quite a while. Also in just two weeks ( counting surgery, being npo, and restricted feedings after surgery she has gained 1 lb. and 4 oz. I don't think she has ever gained this much weight in 6 months. At this point I am thankful to God for the success of her being put to sleep and waking from the surgery successfully, thankful for the anesthesiologist Dr. T who again agreed to watch so closely over her sedation and recovery. To Dr. J for seeing that Annabel was worthy of this surgery and being there each and every day after the surgery, for the surgeon that came in and were patient and attentive to her GI issues. To the GI consults who came in and listen and suggested this new eating plan. To all who prayed and keep up with her with words of encouragement. Thanking God that for now we have our happy, smiling, clapping and strong Annabel back. Just some pics of her day 2 weeks post surgery....

Domke SKU: 701-83S | Helix SKU: DO70183S
This smallest of Domke Satchels has gained a large following among photographers who don't want to call attention to their expensive equipment. Many describe the F-803 as a bag that doesn't shout "cameras!" It's also the perfect size as a light briefcase for business travel.
Like your favorite pair of jeans, Domke bags get better with age and with the new Domke RuggedWear™ collection you don't have to wait. The fabric produces a unique distressed and weathered look right from the start.
The RuggedWear classic bags feature high-quality, weather-tough, durable cotton canvas that is treated with special non-solvent, environmentally friendly waxes to afford the fabric a lifelong resistance to inclement weather. The special formula allows the fabric to breathe while the waxes produce a unique, timeless, weathered, distressed patina finish. By using the included refinishing wax, bags can be restored to its original finish quickly and easily.
Includes an adjustable non-slip Gripper Strap, YKK zippers and steel snap hooks.
Note: DO NOT MACHINE WASH your RuggedWear Bag! A periodic cleaning with a hose, damp cloth or soft scrub brush for heavy dirt is all that is needed. Your shower works equally as well. Sometimes a mild bar or flake soap (not detergent) or even Saddle soap will remove stubborn stains. Bare areas can be refinished with our RuggedWear Wax refinishing ointment and left to absorb for a day or so (a hair dryer will speed the process) which will restore the wax finish.

Crossfaith Just Kicked Korn's Electronic Arse
No, i'm not against Korn's Path of Totality album. Bands should experiment! Although it never grabbed me emotionally (and shook me violently like Issues did), the singles were fun. But if we're to speak of fun then CROSSFAITH's nu metal/metalcore/electronic song called 'Monolith' kicks Korn's arse! Damn, this is good:
"Who the hell are CROSSFAITH?" you rightfully ask. They're a Japanese band that formed in 2006. They've released 2 albums, The Artificial Theory for the Dramatic Beauty in 2009 and The Dream, The Space in 2011. The Zion EP, from which the song 'Monolith' comes from, will jump to life later this year.
I'll dig into their past releases. If i find treasure, i'll share with you here.

Muffins are one of my favorite freezer-friendly desserts. It's so convenient to pull one out, defrost it in the microwave, and have a home-baked dessert anytime you like. Although I usually do that with our family favorite of bran and molasses muffins, these apple cranberry muffins are great for the freezer too. They're packed full of Golden Delicious apple and fresh cranberries to provide a slightly sweet-and-tangy taste to these easy muffins.
My favorite part of these muffins is definitely the top. When they're freshly baked, the topping is crunchy and so delicious! You can't go wrong with brown sugar, walnuts, oats, and cinnamon, right? 😉
Not only are these muffins easy to make, but they are also wonderful to have during the autumn season. They are so moist and flavorful you don't even need to serve them with butter! (Tip for food photographers: a great snack during a photo shoot. 📷)Print

what a day!
This was meant to be a post about ripping up a Devon slopeside for a few hours today. 20mph and bags of thermal activity. Storming from booming lift to booming lift, through some pretty turbulent air, the willows lapped it up. Nothing to worry about but ballast and snap flap!
Then on the way home I receive this picture of the first air one mini wings out of the new molds. Fuselage to come I'm told!
Some says are you remember why you do this and a bit more

Turtles are semi-aquatic pets that require advanced care and a special diet. They can be delicate and sensitive to changes in their environment and could die if they become stressed or ill. Because turtles are slow moving and they can go into hibernation, it can be moderately challenging to tell if your baby turtle has died.
Smell the turtle. If the baby turtle is dead, it will begin to decompose within hours. Even though the turtle is small, the smell will be overpowering and obvious, even from across the room. The turtle, its enclosure and the surrounding area will smell like rotting meat if the turtle is dead. Turtle enclosures can develop a fishy smell if they are not cleaned properly or if there is rotten, uneaten food left in them. But if the turtle itself smells, it is likely dead.
Poke the turtle. Turtles do not appreciate being handled or touched and will flinch or react even if gently poked. If the turtle still does not move, gently place the turtle on its back on a firm surface. This will cause the turtle to panic and try to flip over, so if the turtle begins to move, it is not dead.
Observe the turtle. There are physical signs that a baby turtle has died, and these can be seen just by observing the turtle and its environment. Even sleeping turtles will exhibit some signs of movement, like a heartbeat or slight muscle twitches. When a turtle begins to decompose, its eyes are the first to be affected. The turtle's eyes will appear sunken in if it is dead, and they may be open or closed. A dead turtle will not sink, but will rather float on top of the water. A dead turtle may also appear to be covered in a slimy material, almost as if it is shedding its skin.
Most recent
- A turtle that is floating on the water, is lethargic and uninterested in food but not smelly may be very sick and should be taken to the vet.

The General Secretary of the World Council of Churches has been presented with the Cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem.
The Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit was visiting Jerusalem as part of a WCC delegation meeting with members of the WCC member churches in the region, as well as with Jewish and Muslim leaders.
The Cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre is an honour awarded by the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem and the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre. The name refers to the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, built over the traditional site of Jesus' tomb.
"Because of the Patriarchate's role and witness, we fully endorse the work of the World Council of Churches and of your office, especially in the struggle for peace, justice and reconciliation," Patriarch Theophilos said in a ceremony held at the offices of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate.
"The Patriarchate of Jerusalem is especially keen to assist you in your concern for lasting peace in the Middle East, for the well-being of all the people of the region, and for the ongoing presence of Christians in the Holy Land," he said.
Patriarch Theophilos assured Tveit of the ongoing support of the Orthodox Church for the WCC, saying the ecumenical movement is called to promote "unity without confusion" among churches.
Shortly before placing the cross around Tveit's neck, the patriarch uttered this blessing: "May this cross be a reminder to you of the daily death and resurrection that is the vocation of every Christian believer, and of the way of the cross that leads to the triumph of new life."
"I receive this cross with humility and accept it as an honour intended for the World Council of Churches and our common efforts toward Christian unity," Tveit said. "The ecumenical movement is a movement of the cross, and this reminds me in a very clear way how the cross unites us in our faith and ministry."
"May we carry the cross together, and may there be hope for the peace of Jerusalem in these days," Tveit concluded.

Having a patch could help to do the removal in the same way as in LO. That could make sure that afterwards the code bases became more similar and merging of code changes could become easier in the future. Perhaps that's something you should suggest on the LO dev list. (I hope this suggestion isn't seen as an offense - really, if you are asking for patches you have to ask those who did the work, not those who might receive it.) Regards, Mathias

The Spanish Mustang registry is one of the oldest mustang registries in the U.S., begun in the 1950's, principally by Robert E. Brislawn. As mustangs exhibiting a particular Spanish quality began to disappear from the American west, Brislawn began to collect the horses. These are horses whose resemblance to their ancestors is much more marked than other feral mustangs managed by the BLM.
The Spanish Mustang stands around 14.2 to 15 hands high. It takes the general appearance of its Spanish ancestors, although slightly smaller in the body and with a slightly larger head. It also takes on color patterns found in Iberian horses: Buckskins, duns, Grullas, and paints. The original Spanish horse was known for its excellent stamina; today, nature and man have made the mustang into one of the strongest and hardiest horses in the world.
These horses are descendants of the Spanish stock brought to the Americas by Spanish conquistadors. Some horses were released or escaped and were quickly procured by Native American Communities. By the time of European colonization in the east, the horse populations had grown considerably. The new inhabitants of America didn't recognize the horses as Spanish Mustangs and incorrectly identified them as Indian Ponies, Cayuse and Mustang's which means without owner.
By the mid 1800's many of the pure Spanish mustangs had been selectively bred with English and Arabian stock to "improve" them. These new mixes evolved into breeds such as the Quarter Horse, Morgan, Tennessee Walker, Palomino and Paint.
It has been said by some, that Chief Joseph was the finest Military leader ever seen in the United States. Much of his strategy depended upon the Appaloosa breed his tribe had created from the Spotted Spanish Mustangs. The Quality of the Appaloosa breed did not escape the US Government. When Chief Joseph surrendered in the 1860's, the US Government ordered the Appaloosa destroyed in a policy designed to ensure that the tribe would have to change their way of life. The Appaloosa breed was destroyed by removing all the stallions and crossing the mares with draft horses. Today's Appaloosa, except throes hidden in the Spanish Mustang herds, resemble Chief Joseph's horse in color pattern only.

Reviews of Winc – Is it worth it? A few years ago a company called, "Club W" set out to be the "Netflix of Wine." Apparently they did something right, as they reached $1 million in revenue in their first 12 weeks!
Well, that company is now called, "Winc," and they have become hugely popular with wine lovers, as is evident with their half-million Facebook fans.
So, being a wine lover myself, I figured I'd use their $25 off coupon (view all) and try Winc out to see how it works. Here's my review for their monthly wine club, including what you should know before joining Winc:
How Winc Works | Winc Reviews | Cost? | Is Winc Worth It?
1. First, How Does Winc Work?
Some years ago companies started to realize that simplicity is king. Restaurants like Chipotle reduced their menu down to a minimalist's dream, (sorry, diners!) and other sites like Netflix, Easy Canvas Prints and Home Chef stripped their sites down to the studs to make ordering a streamlined process of a few clicks.
Simplicity is what Winc is going for, too. Here's how it works:
- Winc delivers 4 bottles of wine to your door each month, shipping cost is included
- Pick your own bottles or let them make recommendations to match your taste. Wines start at $13 per bottle and come with pairing recommendations & recipes
- There is no membership fee, and you can cancel anytime
Ok, we signed up and tried it, so let's get started on our review of Winc!
2. How Winc Signup Works:
As a new user you'll just want to click to activate the "4 bottles for $28" promotion, then click the "Get Started" button on the top of their site.
You'll then be prompted with a few questions so that they can better understand your palette. These questions include a few multiple choice prompts like, "How do you like your coffee?", and "Do you like citrus?"
Then, you can choose red, white, or a mix of both for your 4 bottles of wine delivered each month:
Now, click, "see your wines," and voila! They have created a selection of 4 wines based on your tastes:
You can now click on any of the selected wines to read about them in more detail. Feel free to substitute other wines if you'd like:
Winc gives you a plethora of well-presented and helpful info on each wine selection including:
- Cost ($13 and up)
- Body: (Full, medium, etc)
- Alcohol Content
- Balance (Fruit, earth, wood)
- How to serve: (chilled or room temp?)
- What it pairs well with (fish, red meat, pasta, sushi, etc)
- Wine description with origin and interesting history
I then double-checked my wine selections and googled each bottle for customer reviews. For the 2015 Rogue Admirals Cabernet Sauvignon I saw that it got an impressive 3.7 star review. One of the "red blends" that was recommended didn't get a great review, so I easy substituted it.
One of the "red blends" that was recommended didn't get a great review, so I easy substituted it.
If you want to make a substitution, just click on any wine bottle and choose from a wide variety of replacements that are sortable by several filters including price.
Tip: Want even better wines? You can click "upgrade" and your wine bottles will come from the more expensive, highly-rated "Winc Select" selections. You can switch back and forth any time.
OK, I'm happy with my 4 wines, time to complete my order.
3. Winc Cost?
Your total monthly Winc cost will be the sum of the 4 wines that you choose for your order. With wines starting at $13, that means your first order costs at least
$52 $27 (with $25 coupon) with subsequent months the costing a minimum $52 or more per month.
You can also add more bottles for $13+ each, or upgrade any of your bottle(s) for more expensive wine starting at $14 per bottle.
You can also opt to be enrolled in "Winc Select," which includes at least one premium wine starting at $20 per bottle.
*Tip: The first month price is discounted by $25 or more when you use a coupon. (View all Winc.com coupons)
If you choose to upgrade to Winc Select, you can choose from highly-rated, more expensive bottles of wine
Tip: If you rate 10 wines, you'll receive a $10 credit on your account. If you refer a friend, you get a $26 credit. Orders of 12+ bottles get a 10% discount.
4. Placing Your Order (Use a coupon!)
At this time you just enter your shipping and billing info, and enter a promo code if you don't already have a great discount applied: *Apply a $25 off code now!
Ok, for my first order I'm paying $34 for 4 good bottles of wine including delivery. Now, let's see what happens!
5. Unboxing Winc:
My wine arrived in only 3 business days. That's fast! Here's what my wines look like:
The wines were very well-packaged, and came with a booklet that includes "the A-Z of Wines," to help you appreciate all of the aspects of wine that you may not have given much thought like, acidity, body, minerality, and descriptions of varietals like "Pinot Noir" or "Cabernet Franc." Interesting and fun!
So far we've only tried the Rosa Obscura Red Blend, but it was really good! Tastes like a $10-15 bottle of wine to me, but the experience of trying something new, learning new things, and being mindful about the wine I was drinking was what I liked best.
Rosa Obscura from Winc. Mmm….
"Lush with jammy California goodness, full body and an ultra smooth texture, this 2016 blend is what we call a Big Red. Zinfandel is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for juicy notes of cherry, strawberry, cassis, cocoa and violet. Drink this versatile red with a steak dinner…" – Winc description
I did have it with steak, and it was great! I actually have never bought a "red blend" before, but I certainly will now, and that's the beauty of Winc. While I don't expect any $13-20 bottle of wine to blow my socks off, I really look forward to appreciating these new wines, learning more about them, and being more mindful when I drink them.
Buying wine through Winc isn't a "deal." You could probably find similar wines from better-known brands at your local liquor store at a cheaper price. But then again, that's not the point of Winc. Part of what you pay for is the experience. Its really educational, fun, and kind of like having a friend who is a sommelier (wine guy) picking out bottles for you.

Personally, I think choosing wine at the store is an intimidating experience, and I end up making my choices based on the labels and price. (Duh!?) Winc gives you well-researched recommendations from sustainable sources, and even provides recipes for meals to pair with the wines.
Getting 4 new bottles of wine each month also means that my wife and I will choose one night each week to enjoy a new bottle, drink it, read and talk about it, and then make sweet love by moonlight. (not sure about the last one!) I really like knowing that a new selection of wines is arriving each month, and it's exciting like a Christmas gift to open!

7. Winc Customer Reviews:
Here's what people like about their Winc subscription, as well as the biggest complaints common in negative customer reviews:
*GOOD reviews:
I'm not the only person to think this is a fun experience. Winc generally does a great job, and you can tell that they care immensely about their business. That's why most reviews for Winc are stellar.
"WINC has amazing wines and top notch customer service! They recommend wines based on your palate profile you complete and send you wines every month. You can cancel or skip a month anytime. Joining winc has allowed me to appreciate wine more, expand my palate, and try new wines and flavors. I highly recommend winc to everyone!" – Jamie B
Common themes in good reviews include:
- The monthly club format enables you to try new wines and learn about them and about wines in general. It's fun!
- FedEx Shipping is "free" and very fast + great packaging
- Great customer service and well-run company
- Focus on sustainability, not cheap wine from big brands
- The more wines you review, the better the future recommendations to your taste
- Monthly clubs are fun!
*BAD reviews & complaints:
No monthly club has a 100% rating. Here's what people don't like about Winc:
"You can probably do just as well or frankly better at Trader Joe's for the money in addition to the high shipping cost." – Ryan C via Yelp
- Their $13+ bottles of wine aren't mind-blowing, some reviews describe them as "mediocre" "overpriced," or at worst "undrinkable"
- It's inconvenient to cancel your subscription (you have to call or online chat during business hours)
- You may have to sign for the package in some states

8. Is Winc Worth the Cost?
Let's look at the pro's and con's to decide if a subscription to Winc is worth the money:
- Pro's: Getting 4 bottles per month of unique wine from small winemakers is really fun. Actually, I happen to like monthly clubs in general, because getting a box on my porch is a little bit like Christmas morning. The wines I got were good, and the notes that came with them helped me to learn more about wine, and appreciate it more as I drank it. However, there's no cheap way to ship 4 bottles of wine, so $52 per month can seem expensive
- Con's: If you live near a wine store, you could, in theory, go pick out 4 bottles of wine for under $40. However, the quality may be hit-or miss, and there isn't a lot of fun or learning in the process.
In Conclusion…
Tip: I'd say that it's definitely worth trying Winc for 1-2 months because of the great promotion they have for new customers that brings the price down significantly. If you aren't thrilled after the second month, just cancel, and know that you got a good deal.
Well, there you have it. Most of the reviews, including my own review for my Winc subscription, are quote positive. Even though some people rightly complain that you can buy similar wine at the liquor store for less money, it's really the experience that you're paying for. I mean, it's a lot cheaper to just drink a Heineken at home rather than go to a nice bar and pay $6, right? Same concept with Winc.
Like most monthly food or wine clubs, Winc is about putting something fun and educational on the calendar each month. It makes you appreciate the whole experience, and not just the wine itself.

Oral Cancer Screening
Part of maintaining optimal oral health is twice yearly dental exams. These exams are designed to spot a myriad of oral health issues in their earliest stages, allowing proper treatment to be administered before they worsen. In many cases, early treatment can prevent the need for more invasive, more expensive, treatments later on. During these exams, we check the condition of your teeth, looking for signs of decay and damage, and the condition of your gums, looking for signs of infection. Another integral component of your oral exam is an oral cancer screening, which we complete with Velscope.
Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is a devastating disease that affects over 40,000 Americans every year. Also called cancer of the mouth, oral cancer can strike anywhere in the oral region, including the lips, the tongue, the cheeks, the gums, the palate, the floor of the mouth, and the back of the mouth near the entrance to the throat. If not found and treated early, oral cancer can quickly spread to other parts of the body and can be fatal. For this reason, detecting oral cancer in its early stages is essential.
Am I at Risk for Oral Cancer?
There are some different factors that can increase your risk of developing oral cancer.
Oral Cancer Screening With Velscope
Oral cancer screenings are a regular part of your biannual dental exams. These screenings involve the visual inspection of the soft tissues of your mouth, as we check for any signs of abnormalities. If we do find anything, this often leads to a biopsy, which involves the removal of a small sample of the abnormality for further examination under a microscope.
The Velscope oral cancer scanner is an additional tool that we use to aid in the early detection of oral cancer. This noninvasive device uses a specialized white light source, which is used to detect possible precancerous abnormalities in your mouth in their earliest stages. All we have to do is hold the scanner at the entrance of your mouth. The device emits a blue light inside. We then look through a specialized lens to examine your oral tissues. On healthy tissue, the light appears as a fluorescent green. Potentially cancerous or precancerous tissue, however, absorbs the light, causing that tissue to appear black. Despite the many layers of tissue in your mouth, the Velscope oral cancer scanner can detect the smallest abnormalities in the very beginning stages, which allows for prompt treatment before anything serious occurs. The way the light is absorbed into the abnormality also aids in providing us with a more accurate border, which then allows for a more accurate, and complete, removal of the potentially dangerous tissue.
The early detection of oral cancer is essential for the protection of your health. With the Velscope oral cancer scanner, we can check for any abnormalities in the soft tissues of your mouth while they are still in their earliest stages.

It's important to know that you can read plenty of conflicting information when it comes to what works in search engine optimisation, or SEO. The fact is that the internet is constantly changing and evolving, and different ideas and patterns come and go. If you set up a website and decide that meta keywords are not important, or you have a fixed idea of SEO based on something you've read, then you won't have much chance of success. The correct implementation of meta keywords within your SEO strategy is important, along with many other aspects of SEO.
If you are seriously developing and building an SEO strategy that works, then you want to take advantage of every possible positive impact on this. You might read that 'Google don't use meta keywords' for example, and imagine that therefore it's pointless to use them. However, there are plenty of other reasons that you should keep use everything you can. There are other search engines, and there is the huge area of social media searches which might look for meta keywords. More than this, with a focussed SEO strategy, you want to leave no stone unturned.
If you have discovered, for example that your chain of chocolate stores in Melbourne is not ranking highly for a 'chocolate in Melbourne' search, then you will have to focus on inserting this search term in as many important places as you can. This will be worked into the content of your website, but also behind the scenes in the meta tags. Together this will work with off-site search engine optimisation including listings in local directories which include the same search term, and also social media pages. Internet searches of all kinds will be influenced by all of these factors working together, and it's pointless and counter-productive to overlook any part of this. Simply keep in mind that when it comes to building successful websites, as with building successful business, everything matters.
