If you're a nature lover, the Grand Monarch slot by IGT is likely to make you want to grab your binoculars and butterfly net and go off hunting around the garden. As well as being a slot with high-quality images and animations of butterflies, it's also a celebration of the incredible transformation that these beautiful creatures undergo. While the Grand Monarch slots theme is calm and relaxing, the special features such as stacked wilds and free spins that IGT has included will draw you towards this mesmerising mobile slot like a moth to a flame.
Get ready to see the wonders of Mother Nature close-up as you enter the breathtaking world of the Grand Monarch slot on your mobile phone or tablet. As you settle down in front of the reels, you are treated to a stunning view of a field filled with cow parsley, wildflowers, and woodland, and a hazy blue sky beyond.
The symbols on the reel set feature adorable images of butterflies, violets, lotus flowers, daisies, sunflowers, and chrysalis. Also, the standard high-value playing card symbols A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9 are used. The configurable mobile options allow you to set the coin size between 0.01 and 50, which gives you a betting range of 50p to £500 when playing with all 50 paylines activated. IGT has also designed the slot to allow you to choose how many paylines you wish to play with. To change the amount, just tap the plus or minus button at the bottom of the reels on your mobile screen to adjust it to one of the following options: 1; 5; 10; 20; 30; 40 or 50.
The orange Grand Monarch butterfly from which this slot takes its name pays the most (up to 1,000x your line bet) followed by the violet and lotus flower (which pay up to 500x each), and the sunflower and daisy (up to 250x each). The Grand Monarch butterfly acts as the game's wild, allowing it to transform into any other symbol (except the Chrysalis) to help form wins. However, unlike regular wilds, the beautiful Grand Monarch butterfly appears on the reels in stacks, which makes it even easier to create more winning combinations of a higher value.
If you'd like a chance to fly off with some free wins, you'll need to trigger the free spins feature. Three of the Chrysalis symbols on the second, third, and fourth reels grant you five free games and award 2x your total bet. The feature uses a different colour reel set (a blue background with a red chrysalis) with extra butterfly wilds that help boost your winning potential. Further Chrysalis trios add five additional free spins to the running total.
The stacked wilds feature provide maximum action, as well as the potential for big wins, and the extra-rich reels used in the free spins bonus allow you to emerge from your cocoon to enjoy the sweet taste of success. If nature-themed slots are what you like be sure to check out Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild slot, Great Wild Elk Slot and Raging Rhino slot.Play Now

As we approach January, the anticipation of turning the calendar to a new year always brings change, commitments and promises. We embrace the excitement of what's next and have the opportunity to hit the reset button on things that need to be adjusted.
So what are you training for in 2016?
It's a simple question, but when we ask, the answer is never delivered with conviction.
Improving your fitness, losing weight, eating cleaner and getting more active are typical responses. But these are generalizations and lack specificity. And without specifics, it is difficult to measure results.
Everyone has their own reason why they train. Running a race, competing, looking and feeling good. Living a healthier lifestyle. Getting faster, stronger, experiencing a triathlon or endurance event.
The key is having a reason and timeframe to keep you (and us) focused. It's the first step in putting purpose behind your training and getting better every day. Inching closer to a goal that can be measured.
At HIT Training, we are committed to helping you achieve results. But it first starts with you and how you answer those five words.
Over the next few days give some thought to what you are training for. Put it on the board. We will be ready to help you put it into action in January.
And if fitness and nutrition are on the top of your list, join us January 9 for the kick-off of our new eight-week program.

This Middle School Essay Question Has Detroit Parents Outraged
Steve Matthews, Superintendent of the Novi Community School District, told Detroit's WWJ that the question was intended to make students compare and contrast the lives of free blacks with those still enslaved. But Tina James, whose 13-year-old daughter attends Novi Middle School, is more concerned about how it seems to diminish the horror of slavery.
"The first thing I thought was how can you even compare the two," she told WWJ. "You have on one end a slave that is not free, who has no free will. And on the other end, you have a factory worker. And although it was in the Industrial Revolution, they still had a free choice, and they had a choice to walk away if they wanted to."
> Find a job as a middle school teacher
James told CBS Detroit that her daughter came home upset and nearly in tears, due in part to the response of her classmates. According to ABC 10 News the majority of the class, including some African-American students, said that they would rather be a slave.
"The rationale by those students to choose slaves was that they had free housing, they had free food and free protection," said James. "But the argument that she and I put forth was that those things were not free."
Matthews has since removed the question from the lesson, and is considering an overhaul of how the school teaches slavery. He plans to include James in that discussion.
"What it suggests to me as a district, we need to do a better job of helping our students understand the devastating impacts of slavery back in the 1800s," he told ABC 10 News. While the assignment's offensive approach to slavery has been well addressed, no mention has yet been made of how it simultaneously manages to belittle the lives of factory workers.
Matthews added that the teacher who assigned the essay won't be punished, so there's still plenty of time for students to answer questions about whether they'd rather be an astronaut or a drug mule.

Personal Welcome to NYC
Having recently moved from Texas to New York City/Brooklyn (two months ago) it still hasn't quite hit me that I have actually taken the plunge into following my dream of combining my love for writing and working in fashion. I truly don't think it will hit me until at least four months in. I've traveled for months before so this still feels like a minor vacation or maybe it feels that way because I've learned to simply just go with the flow. If things work out some way great, if they work out another way that is also great, especially since I believe everything happens for a (good) reason. Either way things always work out.
For now I've taken the pleasure of welcoming myself into the city and it's offerings. From food to fashion, people and events, its only the beginning.

Well, I knocked this 454-pager out in a week and a half. I never thought I'd be able to read so much. Replacing driving with riding on public transportation—and scrolling endlessly on a phone with readings—will apparently do that for ya!
This one sent my emotions all over the place, but looking at it overall, I think I have to give it a 3 out of 5. This book was long and repetitive. The chapters from different characters' perspectives meant getting a lot of information more than once, for no apparent reason.
As I've read in many reviews of this book, it has a lot of good stories and ideas, but they don't come together to form a nice takeaway. I think it reads like someone's journal—a wordy retelling of events.
It is worth mentioning, however, that I could relate to a lot of the themes, and that certainly always feels nice. Unfortunately, this wasn't a favorite, but I do believe it's worth reading—to form your own opinion.

Boston magazine and Boston Home magazine Partner with Boston Building Resources/
The nonprofit Reuse Center at Boston Building Resources has been selected by Boston Magazine as the charitable beneficiary of the Best of Boston Home event, to be held in the late fall. The partnership will not only raise funds to support the Reuse Center, but will also raise awareness among construction and renovation professionals as well as homeowners about donating reusable materials rather than discarding them.
Boston Building Resources was selected as a charitable partner because the mission of the Reuse Center—providing lower-income people with low-cost materials for home repair and maintenance—dovetails with the event's focus on home improvement.
The Best of Boston Home event typically attracts 300 people from architecture and construction firms and other businesses focused on home building and remodeling. It honors Greater Boston's top design and building firms and will be held at the Boston Design Center. In addition to a presence at the event, Boston Building Resources will receive pro bono advertisements in Boston Home and Boston Magazine.
The Reuse Center at Boston Building Resources has been open in Roxbury Crossing since 1993, taking in donated building materials and selling them at affordable prices to lower-income homeowners and grassroots nonprofits. Prices are set low enough to keep items affordable, with a significant discount offered to customers who are income-qualified. As a result, the organization needs to raise funds to fully cover the costs of operating.

"Then looking at him, Jesus felt love for Him and said to him, 'One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.'" -Mark 10:21
I have a lot to prove. In fact, you have to understand something about me not many remember. You have to know I desperately wanted to be just like Jesus. I wanted to follow Him. You already know I was not allowed to follow Him in the end, but that was not the hardest moment. No! The hardest moment was just before that when He looked at me.
Have you ever had Jesus look at you?
When Jesus looks at you, He really sees you. He saw something about me I had not known about myself. When He saw me that day I knew my allegiance to Him was not as strong as it needed to be or as I had thought it actually was.
When Jesus looks at you, it changes you. When you are seen by Jesus, there is revealed within yourself those soft spots where you are not as committed as you thought. He knew my weak spots for inconsistency, selfishness, and self-righteousness. He saw each point of insecurity and self-loathing. He saw each of these and more when He looked at me.
It seemed to grieve Him. It was not until I turned to walk away that I realized why it grieved Him, because it was not until that moment it grieved me also.
There are still parts of my heart and life which are not entirely committed to Him, and I cannot truly follow Him in union and connection. There are things, which still stand between me and Jesus. He saw them and was sad with love. I eventually saw them and I am still sad with love.

Glasses get horribly dirty and sometimes there is only one solution, and that is a really good clean.
- Multi surface spray
- Warm water
- Microfibre cloth or class cleaning cloth
Run the glasses under warm water and spray with Gyre and Gymble's multi surface spray. Rub the lenses and frames all over with the soapy solution and then rinse again under warm water. Dry with the microfibre cloth.
You will not only be able to see again though the glasses, but they will also be squeaky clean which will help to keep your face clean too.
If you have a small travel size spray bottle add some of the Gyre and Gymble glass cleaner to this bottle, and you will have handy bag-size cleaner with you all the time when you are out and about.

Learning Outcomes
The Communication Major consists of a highly diverse set of fields of specialization. Students completing the program may share little in common beyond the core courses required of all majors. Therefore, separate objectives for each area of focus have been identified. In general, students graduating from Eastern Connecticut State University's Communication program should be able to be able to demonstrate/have knowledge of:
Quantitative reasoning and Critical Thinking in the Discipline – Theoretical Understanding – Abstract Thinking (conceptual skills) knowing how to measure the strength of, and when to apply a particular theory.

- Devices Operated – Machines such as video editing systems, microphones, cameras.
- Software Applications – Computer applications that are used in a discipline, audio and video editing, statistical evaluation software (SPSS), print production and design programs, (In-Design).
- Vocabulary of the Field – Virtually every discipline and sub-discipline has a specialized vocabulary that helps practitioners communicate effectively and efficiently.
- Ongoing Issues in the Field – Understanding the current events of any discipline is imperative if one is to operate effectively in that discipline. Being aware of current issues gives us an opportunity to put into practice the theoretical and conceptual skills that we have developed in the classroom.
- Writing in the Discipline – This requires the ability to use the technical skills of grammar, sentence structure and syntax to pull together and express in writing one's understanding of all the other skills, goals and applications taught in the department.

Howdy all,
Thought I'd sneak in a quick little update for you all as week 2 on The Autoimmune Paleo Protocol (AIP) is done and dusted.
So how do I feel?
To be perfectly honest - not much different. Ho hum (cue the violins).
This is the time when I have to clip myself over the ear and remind myself that this is a process, not a quick "click of my fingers" miracle cure. My body has been in destruction mode for many years, so it won't heal overnight. However, trying to stay patient can get the better of me some days. I'm only human.
So how specifically do I feel different:
- Bloating | I mentioned after week 1 how the daily tummy bloat I experience had decreased (see here), and this is still happily the case, however there have been some days when it has flared up again. Why? I'm unsure.
- Sleep | Definitely improved! I find myself sleeping through the night or only waking occasionally, and when I do, fall back to sleep almost immediately. BIG sigh of relief! It's amazing how stressful not getting sleep can be. However, I am still waking up just as exhausted and fatigued.
- Weight | I've managed to drop 1.5kg. Whoop whoop!
This is where the improvements end ... at the moment.
However, I will admit that seeing the above 3 improvements written down gives me a little hope and puts a smile on my face - there is improvement!
Week 3 here I come.

How to deal with Stressful Work Environment
Dealing with Stressful Work Environments
Do you dread getting out of bed every day to go to work because your work environment is too stressful? Many people find that it's not so much their job that causes them stress, but the people and the environment. You may find that the people you work with are intolerable or that the setup of your workplace is simply not conducive to getting things done efficiently.
Dealing with stressful work environments is something many of us have to face every day, but you don't have to let it get you down. Instead, by learning how to deal with your stress at work you'll be able to boost your energy and reduce frustration.
How to Deal with Stressful Work Environments
1. Create a space conducive to concentration. If your office is open-concept, you may find the hustle and bustle around you to be distracting. If this is the case, try setting up your workspace so that everything you need is right in front of you so you don't have to continually get up to grab stuff. Also, try putting up a privacy screen (if possible), or rearrange your furniture or computer screen to create a barrier of sorts between you and the rest of the office.
2. Use positive imagery when you feel stress coming on. Focus on a happy or peaceful moment in your past, or keep a picture on your desktop that will help to put you at ease. Many people find that they can control stress by allowing themselves to go to a peaceful place for just a couple of moments.
3. Create a daily to-do list. Many times when we are stressed out, it's because we are trying to juggle too many things without saying no from time to time. This causes our stress levels to rise quickly and uncontrollably. When you create a to-do list, it won't matter how hectic the office gets or how many people are slacking off; you'll have a list in front of you that'll remind you what needs to get done for that day. You'll feel more in control when you organize your day and you'll be able to find some peace in the chaos surrounding you.
4. Learn how to meditate. Meditation is a form of deep concentration that can help you restore peace and balance in your life. You can make prayer or meditation a part of your everyday life so when stress levels are rising, you can regain your composure nearly effortlessly. As you practice your meditation techniques, you'll be able to do it without anyone even noticing, and you'll bring calmer and more focused energy to the office.
5. Move around within the company or find a better fit elsewhere. Many people simply cannot overcome the stressful environment in which they work. Besides, no one should work in a situation where they always feel on edge! If you have a job that is too demanding or rarely allows for you to tend to your personal life, then it may be time to find a better fit. Getting a new job can be stressful in itself, but when you find something that is right for you, you'll notice the old way of stressful living will melt away and you'll be left with a happier, healthier, and more peaceful life.
Workplace stress is at an all-time high, but in many cases, you'll be able to overcome this stress using the workplace stress tips mentioned above. If the work environment becomes too stressful and toxic to deal with, you'll want to take action. After all, you must put yourself first if prolonged and unmanaged stress becomes destructive to your body and mind.

I've had the good fortune of skiing a lot of days this year, but typically I don't really post much about them because it's typically something along the lines of "skinned and skied somewhere between 5000-8000 feet of great powder in the central Wasatch", and that's so commonplace that it's really not worth braying about. And I don't necessarily feel compelled to encourage anyone to go out backcountry skiing in our nice little backyard; clearly there's plenty of incentive as it is, given the reams of people out shredding during/after storms in the heart of the season.
Spring, however.......is a different story. I don't feel bad about divulging that there's still great skiing because people still won't go. Perfect corn followed by great powder followed by some good challenging stuff followed by perfect corn, etc. And if you don't like the weather, just.....oh my, I simply can't say it! Too much of a cliche'!
Here are a few shots from the last coupla weeks since we returned from "real" winter in the Sawtooths:
|High above the Salt Lake Valley
Some nice couloirs, protected by the infernal sun (I feel like a vampire this time of year)
"Yup, I guess he is......"
Ash on the summit ridge of Lone Peak, still booting after 6000' of climbing:
Colin in the early turns of a 3000' corn harvest:
And Colter chasing after him:
|you gotta love the gang-bang stability of the spring snowpack
|We had intentions of skiing the Grunge Couloir tucked into that corner, but punchy snow kept us on the prominent aprons below.
|Danger Diamond throwin' down some fine Wasatch Wiggles
Of course, great spring skiing doesn't come without a price:
but another foot just arrived....
remember, if you don't like the weather......
(thanks to Colin for some nice pics!)

Man, 20s, exposes himself to dog walker
A young man who exposed himself to a middle-aged woman as she walked her dog near a Dartmoor village is being sought by police.
The dog ran to the man as she passed him near a car park on Clearbrook Road, south of Yelverton on Wednesday at around 1.45 p.m., and he asked her for the time. When she turned round to reply, she saw that he was exposing himself.
She ignored the act and reported it to police when she got back to her car. The man was last seen near the wood at the car park. He's thought to be in his mid-20s, of stocky/medium build, with short dark hair, parted at the side. He was wearing a green fleece top with what appeared to be three small logos on the left hand breast, black work-type trousers with knee pockets and black boots.
Please call police on 101, quoting reference CR/081644/18 if you can help. Calls cost 15 pence. Alternatively, email firstname.lastname@example.com

This past March I took engagement pictures for this sweet couple, Laura and Andrew! As we walked down wooded paths through a park, they told me their story. The summer after they had first briefly met, they found themselves attending the same church and serving in several of the same ministries together. They see God's hand in orchestrating this, as it was entirely unplanned! As they worked together, they began to notice each other, admire each other's heart for serving the Lord, and find similarities of purpose in their lives. They developed a genuine friendship that easily blossomed into a deeper relationship later that year, when they began to pursue the idea of marriage. One summer evening, after a surprise picnic date that Andrew had painstakingly prepared, he asked Laura to be his wife, and she happily said yes!
They entered into their engagement knowing that they would spend most of it on opposite sides of the world. Andrew left on a missions trip to South Sudan a week after they were engaged, and he spent nine months there while Laura was finishing her degree and student teaching in Indiana. Their contact during these months was limited, and often complicated by time differences and poor internet connections. Having such inconsistent communication during this time was a true challenge, but it made their reunion the following spring that much sweeter. I took these pictures soon after Andrew arrived back in the U.S., and I think you can see just how happy they were to be back together! I cannot wait for their wedding!

It feels like summer's just begun, but before you know it, school will be right around the corner! While it is a pleasant thought to put school out of sight and out of mind, it is still a good idea to plan out your schedule before you get back into full-blown education mode. Planning the perfect schedule can be difficult, but fortunately there are a number of great tips to help you choose a good course schedule as you head back to school.
Don't Overload
While it can be tempting to take six AP classes, compete in two sports, and get involved with seven different clubs, it is important to pick a course schedule that is manageable! Taking difficult classes and challenging yourself is important, but so is getting enough sleep that you will be able to complete your homework and process everything you learn. So one thing to keep in mind when you are planning your schedule is to keep it realistic. Even if you want to take six difficult classes, be aware of how much work you can realistically handle, and adapt your schedule accordingly.
Don't Slack
While making sure not to overload your schedule, it is also important not to slack! High schools and colleges have certain requirements that you need to complete by graduation, so do not put off all of your required courses until the last minute. While electives can be tempting and interesting, make sure you have all your required classes covered before you enrol in underwater basket weaving or skate P.E.
Avoid Gaps Between Classes
While in high school you may not have any flexibility as to when you schedule your classes, in college there is a lot more freedom to choose schedules that best fit your schedule. Choosing classes that come one after another is a good idea to avoid awkward gaps in your schedule in which you simply waste your time texting your friends or using the newest app on your iphone. While it may be frustrating to sit in class for a long time, it is better to get this out of the way so you can enjoy the rest of your day at night. If you want to schedule breaks, plan them at reasonable times, such as an hour break for lunch. This will give your brain a chance to recharge before you begin your courses in the afternoon.
Start Early
While it can be tempting to sleep in all day and start your first classes late in the afternoon, you will be kicking yourself when your friends are going out to dinners and parties while you are stuck in class. Sometimes waking up early can be difficult, but the earlier you start the day the more productive you will be. So get out of bed, shower, get dressed, and get a move on to begin your day!
While there are a number of factors to take into account when planning your schedule, these are some of the key concepts to consider when finalizing your schedule. While it may be tempting to sleep in and take long breaks between classes, often the best way to be productive is to work hard, finish your day early, and spend the rest of your time studying or relaxing on a nice day.

If past years provide any indication, many companies will try to generate some buzz this April Fool's Day with pranks, gags, and stunts. But some companies actually try to fool customers all year long. And unlike humorous, harmless, short-lived practical jokes, their actions can cause real damage. They destroy customer trust, damage brand equity, and sometimes lead to costly legal battles.
Companies behaving badly
Take, for example, how airlines try to conceal how they're shrinking seat sizes. Many U.S. carriers have replaced old, bulky seats for "slimline" models, reduced the space between seats, and made aisles narrower. Even the seats on Southwest's 737s have thinner seatback magazine pockets and Alaska Airlines' have slightly smaller tray tables. Airlines have thought customers wouldn't notice these changes because they've made video screens larger and installed new headrests, but anyone who's been on a plane recently most certainly feels the squeeze and resents it.
Then there are consumer packaged goods brands that shrink their packaging but maintain their pricing. A few years ago Consumer Reports found manufacturers downsizing packaging by as much as 20% but still charging the same price. Haagen-Dazs ice cream "pints" shrank from 16 oz. to 14 oz. and Tropicana's orange juice "gallons" from 64 oz. to 59 oz. Companies often hide their size-reducing techniques, changing the dimension of a product's depth while maintaining its height and width so it appears the same on the shelf, or indenting the bottom of containers, or filling bags with more air. Customers may initially fall for the trick when buying a product (the "first moment of truth") but end up disappointed when consuming it (the equally important second.)
Healthy-sounding claims is another sneaky corporate tactic. Terms like "multi-grain," "seven grain," and "wheat" may make products sound healthy, but they may not actually contain heart-healthy whole grains. "Farm-fresh" and "all-natural" are frequently used on egg containers to make them seem different or better, but they mean nothing. Products, like
Department stores are notorious for trying to fool people into thinking they're getting a discount. Using a high-low pricing strategy, they mark-up a product when they first bring it in to the store or during a high demand period so that the price tag reflects an inflated price. Then they systematically use sales, discounts, and coupons to attract people's attention and drive purchases. They think people will compare the price to other items not on sale and buy it, without realizing that the "sale" price is merely a perception. But most customers are smarter than that.
And one positive outcome of Ron Johnson's failed strategy at J.C. Penney was consumer education. In a 2012 public presentation, he reported that the company was selling fewer than one out of every 500 items at full price. Customers were receiving an average discount of 60%, up from 38% ten years earlier -- but they weren't actually saving more. The average price paid by customers had stayed about the same; what changed was the initial price, which had increased by 33%. It's no wonder why customers, armed with this information thanks to the news coverage, were reluctant to return to J.C. Penney when it resumed its high-low pricing strategy.
The most fruitless effort to fool customers might be the pledge made last fall by Coke,
As all these examples show, when you try to fool customers, you usually fail. You waste resources on actions that alienate people; you miss opportunities to do something meaningful and compelling; and you breed distrust.
Trust matters in an age of radical transparency
Trust matters in customer relationships now more than ever. Today's marketplace demands radical transparency. Customers no longer simply buy a product because the logo is familiar, they have higher expectations for the brands and companies they do business with, and they certainly don't accept business practices simply because that's the way it's always been.
You need to communicate with integrity and make sure information about your products and your company is clear, accurate, and readily available. Plus, you need to realize people are empowered and equipped with the tools to learn practically everything they want about a company and its practices, so they'll discover the truth one way or another.
Savvy companies respect their customers and honor their relationships. When you act above reproach, you inspire customers' confidence, enhance your appeal, and win people's loyalty. When you try to get by with something and hope no one will notice or care, you lose. The only people you're fooling are yourselves.

Brian McClintic, Master Sommelier And Much More
Master Sommelier. Vallin winemaker. SOMM Film Star. Les Marchands Wine Bar owner. Brian McClintic shared some of his experiences from all aspects of his busy schedule.
What was it like having a camera in your face while studying for the master sommelier exam?
I think it impacted me positively. The Master Sommelier test is very social. The tasting is with a panel. Service is obviously social. The theory test is oral. You're walking around with so much information in your head, a lot of people become socially awkward. The film forced me to come out of my shell, to lighten up and stay loose, and be the best version of myself. I was able to stay outside myself, to not get lost in myself.
how do you drink your way through a calendar packed with wine projects?
I cry myself to sleep every night?! Really, they just flow into each other. We were already making wine, and it all happened at once after the movie in a whirlwind. It's ironic, wine is to celebrate, it's social. It's not like coffee, not a shot of espresso and go about your day. With wine we take our time. My day is not like that. Imagine if your job was eating just your favorite food. Now imagine if I asked you to start eating it twice a day. And you love steak. You wouldn't be able to do that very long, not without throwing a salad in. I'm tasting wines constantly. Your palate can only take so much. But I love what I do. I remind myself at the end of the day that it's just wine.
What wines were difference-makers for you?
As for ah-ha wines, there was never one, but there were several stages along the way. I was working at a steakhouse, and it was all about Napa Cab. From five to five-hundred-dollars. That's where I learned to taste the difference. But then a guest would ask about our tiny French section, and I would think, "Bordeaux, is that a grape or a section? How do you pronounce these things?" So one night I splurged. I bought an eighty-five Pomerol, and took it to a friend who would know, and it was like, "Oh!" The smells and tastes were like nothing I knew. That was my new to old world intro. At a certain point you experience Burgundy, and at first you think, "It's thin and soft, it smells light. Why is everyone going crazy for this?" I was working at the Little Nell in Aspen, and had my first Grand Cru Burgundy. That was when I got Burgundy. After that, going back to Napa Cab...they seemed unctuous, over the top. If it were just me, ninety-percent of what I drink would be whites.
what do people need to know about santa barbara wine?
Oh, I could talk forever. So there's the new world of wine, it's still in it's infancy. In the old world, monks have been making wine over the course of centuries. Santa Barbara was only planted in seventy-one, so it's very young. All of California, really, are like infants playing in a sandbox. Just highly gifted, intelligent infants. It's the old world we learn from and give credit to, and we've come far very quickly. But do we know what grows best where? No, not until we know what is best viticulturally. Santa Barbara is a geographic anomaly. San Francisco area is great, cellar temperature year-round. Santa Barbara has the coolest, longest growing season in the valley. It allows us to plant grapes that ripen, but grow over a longer period of time. But it's branded for tourism. You say "Napa" or "Sonoma" you immediately think wine. You say "Paso Robles", you think wine. You say "Santa Barbara", you think palm trees, sun, beaches, and bikinis, not wine. Everyone asks, "How can we change it?" I say, "Don't! Stay out of the spotlight while we figure it out." Maybe Gruner Veltliner is perfect for growing, but Pinot Noir is the most marketable. Now there are progressive growers who choose to plant what's best, not what is most marketable. There are makers who want to work with Gruner Veltliner and others like it. And there are drinkers who want to try Gruner Veltliner, that are more open than ever. I like to say Santa Barbara has unlimited potential.
On winemaking and service
Vallin was not started to be a money-maker. It was to keep four guys connected together. But once we started, we decided, "OK, we're going to do some serious wine." Lots of somms make wine, put juice in a bottle, put a label on it, we're not doing that. We said, "So Syrah is not the most marketable wine. Syrah is a world-class grape, let's get behind it." Northern Rhone is the heart of Syrah, and we made it our focal point. We were in Burgundy, drinking Jamet Cote Rotie. Let that sink in. Vallin was on the label, we liked how it looked on the label. We researched and found it was a street name, then went further and found it was actually a surname. Vallin means valley dwellers, from people that originally settled the Rhone valley. We said, "That's cool and simple, let's go with it." It's exciting to see three years later, we sold out of the 'twelve, and are just waiting for the 'thirteen in the barrel to be ready to bottle.
Service for a sommelier is different than any other service. The court teaches specific standards of service, so that if the Queen of England asks you to do a wine service, you could deliver that. It's very technically precise. With staff, it's different. You take the clientele, the concept, into account. Les Marchands is not buttoned-up like formal fine dining. We're very warm and approachable, and technically proficient. Usually it is one of these, but not both. This is without being stuffy or pretentious. We size up each guest. We tailor service to each guest, it's all about how we meet them where they are. Michael Jordan, the sommelier not the basketball player, is a master sommelier and my mentor. He said, "It's not how much you know, it's how much you care." That's something that has stuck with me, so simple but so powerful. We guess where guests are at, and think how can we meet them there. Invariably every night there is one guest you could have done something better. And being attuned to the needs of others is something applicable to every area of life.
expect to experiment at Les Marchands wine bar & merchant, santa barbara
Most people look at our by the glass list and say, "What language is this?" But then we pour them a tasting and they're in. We've found that "yeah, I'll try it" makes up about ninety-percent of our clientele. When we originally told our investors we wanted mostly lesser-known European varietals on the list, they said, "Are you crazy?!" But these are balanced out by the local wines. There are tremendous values from strange places. Not just to be strange, but good, high-level wines. But they're not marketed, so they're way underpriced.
What Brian described here played out in my experience at Les Marchands. Several staffers combined to accommodate my group's requests with recommendations that were right on target, and there were many unfamiliar wines available for tasting, along with attractive pricing. Wines by the glass change frequently, allowing for an ongoing educational process for those fortunate enough to be regular patrons.

As required in the Public Authority Reform Act of 2011, "certain state officers and employees, elected state officials, legislative officers and employees, among others, file Financial Disclosure Statements. In addition, lobbyists must file reports concerning their activities and identify the names of their clients. This information is available on line in spreadsheet format using the web site of the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics. Two primary prompts are available. One directs you to the names of your representatives allowing you to review the actual paper work he or she submitted. The second "View Findings" takes you to the spreadsheet mentioned.
Viewed as an open widow into the workings of Albany. Governor Cuomo remarked "under our current system we have part time legislators….that's the design of the system by the Constitution….the information provided will shed some light on the law maker's ties to those they represent…….and help people become more comfortable about their government."
Assembly Leader Sheldon Silver's earnings gained the most press. Why? His filing said that his job consisted of "general practice of law with emphasis with representation of individual clients and and personal injury actions." Not a totally unexpected revelation raising yet other concerns.

Holy Hannah! Isn't laundry pretty much the worst thing EVER. It NEVER ends. I swear my kids are walking tornados and have no concern or care for the fact that they make me want to die inside every time I walk into their rooms or the bathroom.
The moment I have it all done; the vicious cycle starts again. When Cory and I first got married I STRUGGLED keeping the laundry under control; and we didn't even have kids! We would have company over and we would throw everything onto the floor of our master bedroom closet and shut the door and hope no one wandered astray into our closet. Then the clean would mix with the dirty and I would start the process all over again because I didn't know what was clean and what was dirty. It was ridiculous.
As kids joined our family I gradually learned some processes that really helped me along. One AHA moment for me was when I was introduced to Fly Lady! I read her book and it changed my life. I highly recommend it. I still think of her every time I shine my sink.
The other book that helped me SO much when it came to laundry is The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It has an awesome method of folding our clothes that helps you keep things orderly and also allows you to see what you have. It is very helpful for little people.
I also recently found Capsule Wardrobes on Pinterest. The essential idea is that you can pair down your wardrobe and have versatile items that allow you to create several outfits from the same items of clothing. I DRASTICALLY reduced the amount of clothing my kids had and it was done wonders for the amount of laundry in our household.
What tricks and tips do you have? What laundry system do you use? Do you do it all on one day, does each kid have their own basket and do their own, and what age do you make your kids help out? I would love to hear your feedback!

Three Causes Why Your Husband Is Hunting At On line Dating Websites
When you obtain your husband or companion seeking at on the internet dating internet sites it is fair adequate to assume the worst and start off packing the bags and phoning the divorce lawyer. On the other hand, just before any drastic action is taken it is needed to take a much better appear at the on the internet dating scene in common and then obtain out what he was essentially undertaking there – or at least what his intentions have been.
Discovering your husbands profile on an on the internet dating web site is almost certainly the hardest issue to deal with mainly because you have been taught by society and your personal social circle that this quickly implies he is cheating. Thoughts of infidelity come to thoughts and then it becomes tough to actually communicate and get to the heart of why he is actually seeking at and signing up to these varieties of internet sites in the initially spot.
Now let's appear at three factors why he could be seeking at web dating internet sites
1. There is not adequate passion in his current enjoy life. He's seeking for a small far more spice.
It is stated that guys are from Mars and females are from Venus and when it comes to attempting to realize why your man does what he does in some cases, I am positive I do not want to convince you how tough that can be! A contributing element to why married guys appear at on the internet dating internet sites is to do with their personal ego – and an instinctive want to spread their seed' so to speak. This does not imply he actually desires to do so – it is far more about the concept and the feeling that he could. Guys want to really feel in handle and this comes into play a lot in scenarios involving married guys and on the internet dating internet sites.
As a great deal as this may perhaps appear like a weak excuse – the reality remains that in 9 instances out of 10 the husband under no circumstances had any intention of ever undertaking something beyond 'looking' and 'chatting' and in actual reality it is the extremely act of seeking in the initially spot that will far more than probably hold him faithful to you for years to come.
2. Your Husband is a Flirt
Some guys are just flirtatious by nature and fairly basically – the web dating forums offer a secure spot for him to act upon this character trait without having also quite a few difficulties. Usually it is the flirtatious man that will not essentially take it any additional – and in most instances they are the ones you can trust far more anyway (I would say that as I am a flirtatious guy).
What would you rather – that he flirts with individuals in public and embarrasses you also? or that he keeps it discrete and on the internet.
3.He intends on Cheating
As a great deal as I would enjoy to sugar coat this distinct explanation for why your husband could be seeking at on the internet dating internet sites – the reality remains that quite a few guys are there mainly because they intend on obtaining additional marital relations.

Basic Facts and Tips Regarding Managed IT Services
Managed IT services is a huge concept to mean getting the services of an outsourcing company to be able to do different tasks for your business. You have most likely stumbled upon this concept as you tackle on everything you need to know about IT outsourcing. This is also one of the best ways for IT support companies to be able to earn some profit that is stable. While shopping around for IT support companies, you will come to notice that what they offer business establishments of varying sizes will have to be different kinds of managed IT service packages. Even so, before you choose to outsource managed IT services, you have to know the basic facts about it first.
Now, what should you expect with managed IT services?
When you say managed IT services, this is the process whereby the management of tasks for your business will be put in charge by another company so that you can better your performance as a company and save most of your money. What you should expect to get when you outsource these managed IT services are HR activities, maintenance activities, as well as production support.
When you get managed IT services, the company that is yours will not be in charge anymore of doing the IT areas of your company as the company that you have hired will be the one to handle them. What you should look for in any company that provides managed IT services is one that is not just waiting for the problem to arrive but one that is able to prepare for the problem even before it has not yet happened.
With the company that you have chosen, most likely they will be catering to different aspects of your IT system with the likes of providing you application, network, system, and management services all across areas of your own business. Providing you management services is the thing that keeps everything included with these companies.
What you have to basically understand about managed IT services is the fact that they will be proactively tackling on the IT tasks for you in the best that they can do just as long as you provide them payment on a per month basis. However, you have to know that no two IT support companies are the same and so each of their approach is different which means that you will be getting quite different results.
Never should you fall prey with managed IT services that claim to be given in small bits only and will be made at a very less fee, nonetheless. This goes to say that you must only get in touch with IT support companies where they are very hands-on and very in-charge with what is going on in your company in terms of IT support so you are assuring to provide to your clients the best services while they also will become satisfied of what you have to offer them.

Drop In Court Rental Fees:
$4/hour per player or $6 for 2 hours per player. Come and enjoy our groomed courts. Call us (204) 728-7750 to book.
Our new courts have an excellent drainage system, are groomed daily and have the softest sand around.
We have had our sand lab tested to make sure it made the same specifications for a professional beach court as defined by FIVB which is the main international governing body for beach volleyball. The courts are maintained with at least 18 inches of sand which exceeds the minimum requirement of 12 inches that FIVB courts require. The sand is then separated from the sub-grade by a geo-tech layer that prevents any unwanted particles from migrating up into the court.
There is adequate space surrounding the courts for safety. The nets are professional nets and the posts are protected to safety code again by the terms of FIVB.
Our goal was to create a unique venue for all beach volleyball enthusiasts to enjoy and we hope anyone interested in our facility will come and visit us or call us anytime with their questions.

This week I have been delighted to be a guest design team member at Through The Craft Room Door, they post a challenge every week and have an amazing team.
The challenge blog is sponsored every week and this week the challenge sponsor is Patties Creations, you can see her work here.
I had the pleasure of using 'Strawberries in the Basket' - which you can get here.
I made a 6x6 card and coloured the image with my Copic Markers.
I used the following markers:
Strawberries: R05, R08, R27, R39, G03, G05, G09
Basket: E23, E25, E27, E29
I used a Spellbinders edge die to create the detailed edge and then simply placed some red gingham paper behind my white card. I added a chipboard sentiment from Make It Crafty for an embellishment.
I hope you like this and I would like to thank Through The Craft Room Door for giving me the opportunity to guest with them this week.
See you soon

Why We're Valuable (Part I)
While our generation has begun to establish itself as valuable members of the workforce, the financial services sector has yet to reciprocate in kind. Within its traditional business model, Millennials aren't profitable clients (i.e. we don't have enough investable assets), so we are ignored. The firms that assist Millennials simply package the same services they provide older clients in a different wrapper. Their services are expensive and do not provide lasting value.
Our generation entered the job market in the midst of a perfect economic storm that I call the Millennial Disadvantage, which you can read more about in my book of a similar name (buy a copy here). Because of this, our earnings potential has been dampened and, traditional milestones such as homeownership and marriage are being postponed. Older generations may think of us as "slacking off" but what they don't get is that this is a reasonable response to an environment increasingly characterized by uncertainty, tinkering and the search for meaning and purpose.
The financial services industry is rapidly aging. The average age of a financial advisor is around 50 and according to the CFP® Board, 75% of CFP® Professionals are over 40 years old. Older advisors don't identify with our generation but, most of all, they simply don't understand us.
Recently, evidence has surfaced that a few traditional advisory firms are beginning a half-hearted attempt to alter their service models and market Millennial clients. But it's already failing because there is no real desire to spend the time and resources on our generation. Instead, their efforts are an indirect response to a more personal goal: to retire. Nowadays, you can't sell a book of business for much, so aging advisors are bringing on younger advisors to eventually buy the business. These "junior" advisors primarily help service existing clients, but they also try and build their own business of younger clients. Their marketing attempts are often ineffective because they are forced to operate in the confines of their employer's dated business model. Basically, they're just tweaking the same services they offer to their older clients.
There's a lot of content floating around the internet about how to market to Millennials. These articles capture some of what makes our generation truly unique. But it doesn't go to the heart of who we are, precisely because the primary goal of these so called "experts" is to teach others how to market to us. For the most part, these articles use "modern" language to sell dated financial services. It doesn't take these firms much, beyond keywords to design an entirely new method of financial service. What I'm trying to say is that despite a set of much-hyped products supposedly designed to appeal to Millennials, the industry isn't stepping up to the plate.
This attempt to create a Millennial-focused service is halfhearted. Many Millennials do not succumb because we're naturally skeptical and there is little value. In other words, the services aren't worth the cost. Our generation is not willing to pay 1.5% to invest in a basket of index funds, which can be purchased from a robo-advisor for .25%. We don't need a buddy that holds our hands and teaches us to save and budget. We already exhibit better financial discipline than we are given credit for. We're skeptical, entrepreneurial, cautious and prioritize meaning and purpose over material wellbeing.
Grow recognizes the untapped potential of combining our strong habits with our need (not necessarily desire) to make money. Take the bad economic hand that we have been dealt, add in our healthy habits, and we have the ingredients for a major breakthrough.
Millennials can and should be at the forefront of a new, more holistic approach to financial service, and to integrating money with a broader vision of a fulfilled life. But our generation needs help defining that vision, and in laying out the journey to get there. In order for that to happen, I've taken upon a larger mission: to expand the value I provide to Millennials into non-financial realms.
We experience a great deal of lasting change in our twenties and thirties. If we want to establish good lifelong habits, this is the time to do it—which is why one thing we shouldn't delay is developing the habits of consistent personal growth. More than financial capital, we must create self-capital, or experiences and skills that compound over and over and create long-term value.
The traditional language of financial planning doesn't speak to this period of exploration in which so many of us experience. Financial terms like wealth accumulation don't resonate with a generation that sees maturation as a process, a prolonged journey, and who are more concerned with finding their purpose and gathering an abundance of experience.
Yet that doesn't mean our generation doesn't need guidance, and help in putting together an action plan for that journey. It's crucial to work with someone that will help you explore your life with intention, purpose and dignity, or you'll find yourself turning forty and feeling that the past somehow got away.
This is where Grow is truly different than other firms. My primary responsibility as an investment advisor is to help Millennials invest in themselves. I'm stepping forward to offer a more extensive, holistic set of services that integrates finance and life, goals and purpose, money and meaning. At Grow, we speak a different language, and we walk the walk. We're redefining wealth and value by embracing not just the material and financial aspects, but also experience, purpose, community, and fulfillment.
Grow is my attempt to satisfy an untapped field of unmet needs. Job-hopping has become the norm for Millennials, who typically leave a job after a few years. This deprives many of us of the kind of mentoring relationships afforded by long-term employment. I strongly believe that providing a mix of financial and life coaching is invaluable. Our generation certainly craves this kind of support as studies show Millennials are interested in self-improvement, and willing to invest a good deal of money in it.
I have more to say on this...stay tuned for part II

Mirror Magic
Mirrors really are magic. No other home accessory has the ability to visually change a space the way a mirror does. Mirrors brighten a dark room, enlarge a small room, and instantly create a focal point in any room large or small.
A circular mirror over a mantel is a classic treatment, and always makes a room feel polished and elegant.
A round mirror doesn't always need to be the center focal point. Here I used a round mirror to visually open up a tight corner. Instead of a more traditional frame, the faceted mirrored edge helps to keep the space open as well, so I was able to use the largest mirror possible on a short stub of a wall.
Speaking of faceted mirrors, I'm crazy for these dramatic, sculptural works of art by Mathias Kiss. What a truly unique use of this common, yet magical material.
Nothing opens up a space like a wall of mirrors, and I love the idea of antiqued mirror to soften the hard gleam of the mirror. In the trade, we call the loss of the silver backing of a mirror "foxing", and the the right amount of foxing can vastly increase the value of an antique mirror.
Of course, antiqued mirror is also manufactured new, and can be ordered with as little or as much foxing as you like. Not only did designer, Drew McGukin use mirror in an incredibly clever solution to a truly awkward window and wall situation below, he also used custom antiqued mirror in a very practical way as well. Pro tip - skip the windex and use a "glass wax" product instead to clean your mirrors. It's streak free, and leaves a coating to protect the shine many times longer than traditional blue ammonia cleaners.
Of course, few things make my heart beat faster than a gorgeous carved and gilt mirror, like this chinoiserie mirror used by Miles Redd. It's used in a very traditional setting here, but I also love to mix an ornate mirror in with modern pieces- they are perfect counterpoints to one another.
And I'll close this post with the one room of the house that must always have a mirror, and no matter what, the mirror is also always the focal point, so the more spectacular, the better, and that's the powder room. This dramatic blue-framed arabesque mirror in a tiny jewel box of a bath is truly magical, no?
