So Impressed , Jul 28, 2014
|reviewer: colette from Albuquerque NM
|This was our 15 year old daughter's first year at Camp and we chose to let her be there for 4 sessions. She has ADD and Aspergers and we were looking to try to help her with some independence since she is going into high school. I was so thrilled to Find this camp on the internet and the website has such good information and videos,so I felt very confident when I applied. I was so impressed by the thorough questions and information they used during the registration process. I am also so impressed with the amount of activities they have for the kids. I came home from dropping my daughter off and checking in, I went home feeling so excited for her. I could see the care and concern for the campers and the staff was so professional. The daily photos from camp that we saw posted were so fun for us as parents. It was obvious Camp was Wonderful. My husband and I were blown away by the Award ceremony we attended on the day we picked up my daughter. The counselors are a group of impressive and caring college age kids who work very hard to make the experience awesome for the camper. I believe these people are huge role models that my daughter will remember forever. It was a life changing week for our daughter and she talked Non=stop for several hours telling so many awesome stories of how camp went and the friends she made. I can't rave enough about this camp!

Will Send Son Every Year, Jul 11, 2014
|reviewer: MattsMom from Keller, TX
|Our son Matthew has attended each of the last 3 years, more than one session each of the last 2 years. And we attended a fall family camp last year and plan to do so again this fall. I cannot say enough great things about the wonderfully hand chosen and well trained staff. Each session my son has returned home with a newfound level of self confidence, maturity and self worth. It's subtle, but enough for us, his parents, to notice. That alone would be enough for us to send him... But the benefits are so far beyond just that. Best of all he has a fantastic time!

Awesome Experience, Jul 31, 2013
|reviewer: Barbara Cramer from
|My 14 year old son attended Charis Hills for the first time, and was nervous but willing to try something new. A week seemed like a LONG time to him when we dropped him off. However, what emerged after the week's end, was a happy, joyful, confident boy who cannot wait to return. He loved the activities, found that EVERYONE was his friend, and may consider more than a week next year! I found the staff to be very caring, competent, fun-loving, patient, and well organized. They (acted as and) were a family based on Christian beliefs and so welcoming. We were so happy that our son was happy.

Amazing Camp!!, Jul 08, 2013
|reviewer: stacie511 from Houston, Texas
|My son has Asperger's and this camp was an amazing experience for hiim. The two people that run the camp are awesome and the counselors are equally as awesome. They truly care about making sure your child has a fun time and they are so patient. I like the fact the kids get to pick the activities they are interested in. I highly recommend this camp to anyone with Asperger's, ADHD, etc.

A special place for awesome kids!, Aug 11, 2012
|reviewer: smurrell from Texas Hill Country
|My daughter attend her first ever over night camp at Charis Hills this summer. (July 2012) She had always wanted to attend an overnight camp, but with her high anxiety and severe ADHD, I never felt comfortable enough sending her to an over night camp. When we experienced a Family Camp weekend in October of 2011, I knew this would be the PERFECT camping experience for my daughter. From the very beginning, the camp directors make you feel comfortable. I was able to discuss my concerns, as well as my daughters. The process for medication distribution is well thought-out leaving me no concerns that her medicine would be given to her daily, and appropriately, while she was in their care. The postcard from the camp counselor reassured me that she was doing fine during her camp experience. What sets this camp off from the others is the high quality individuals they hire for their camp sessions. I had no doubt when I dropped off my daughter that she was is loving, Godly hands. The true testament of this outstanding camp comes from my daughter. She came home and shared stories from her week at Charis Hills that showed how loved, accepted and, most importantly, how much fun she had while she was there! My daughter can not wait for her two week stay next year!

Highly Recommend!!, Aug 11, 2012
|reviewer: Cam2003 from San Antonio, Texas
|Charis Hills Camp is awesome! Our son has RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Disorder), and this camp was able to provide our son with a week of spiritual, safe, and structured fun! This was the first time our son has been to camp and we were unsure of how well he would react to this transition of strangers and unfamiliar environment away from family and home. He surprised us and did really well from the start. The staff and counselors are top notch and really see your child as an individual, not a child that needs to fit into a mold. The ratio of campers vs. counselor is the best part of Charis Hills. I believe the small groups helped our son feel safe and transition well in camp.

Exceeded all Expectations, Aug 08, 2012
|reviewer: kdavid from
|My son's first time being away from home could not have been a more positive experience. Taylor loved everything - the activities, the counselors, the cabins even the food (and that's saying alot for him). I was amazed at the devotion, kindness and patience the counselors showed the kids. Taylor told me there was a counselor they called Mom and any kids that got homesick went to talk to him and he would make them feel better. I was so worried about Taylor being in a different environment but as soon as I started seeing the pictures on the website (hundreds each day), I knew he was fine. I could see big smiles, laughing, running - pure happiness. Taylor tends to be negative and yet he has not said one bad thing about his camp experience. He's already made it clear he is going for two weeks next year.

Best Camp Ever!, Jul 26, 2012
|reviewer: bonniesuzanne from Austin, Texas
|Our son has high functioning Austim and has been going to Charis Hills for five years. We could not make it without this camp! The confidence and character-building skills he gets from his time at Charis Hills carries him through out the rest of the year. I only wish that we could find a school or full-time year around place that was as good as Charis Hills. The camp directors and counselors understand the kids and care for them in ways that no one else does. The activities are fun and entertaining and push the kids to do things they didn't know they could. Even the most socially awkward kids are accepted and make friends at this camp and they way they all cheer for each is amazing. No one is left out or is alone. The counselors make sure everyone is always included. They can even handle the toughest kids and make them feel a part of the crowd. Kids even like the food! The facilities are great and spacious with plenty of variety for every type of interest. The counselors are trained to deal with homesick kids who are having trouble being away from home for the first time or those who need to stay in their patterns. This camp is truly a wonderful blessing for parents of kids on the autism spectrum and those with ADD and ADHD. Not many camps understand these kids but Charis Hills does and loves them! Charis Hills changed our son's life and our lives because we found a place he can be happy. Thank you Colleen and Rand for all you do!

Our child loved it! This camp is wonderful., Jul 23, 2012
|reviewer: cc4mom from
|Our son wanted to go to sleep away camp and I was concerned because of a severe speech delay he had as a young child that has left him with some communication shortfalls that a large unstructured camp was not going to be a good experience. This is his second year at camp (2011 and 2012) and he liked it so much he is back for a second session this year. The Camp Owners and Counselors-- are gifted educators, they like what they are doing and they are very very good at guiding kids and dealing with some challenging situations. The smile in our child's face and how proud he was of being the first one in his class to go to sleep away camp was priceless. The Southards have a special place in our heart they truly are dedicated to providing kids a wonderful experience. They are patient, caring, and follow their example of kindness and the belief all children can react to positive reenforcement. Our daughter who just turned 7 cannot wait to join her brother, and even though, she has no special needs we feel very comfortable that this is a great camp for her too.

Awesome Christian / Special Needs Camp, Jul 07, 2011
|reviewer: Rwrdds from
|The camp was awesome. My son attended the second summer session of 2011 and he loved it. He has not stopped talking about it since he returned. He made new friends. The counselors are great. Each of them came up to my son on the last day and made sure to invite him back next year. The camp itself is beautiful. I would definitely recommend Charis Hills to anyone looking for a Christian / Special Needs Camp. My son will definitely be back next year!!!!

Great Camp!, Aug 16, 2010
|reviewer: SaraL from Houston, TX

Charis Hills is the highlight of my daughter's year!, Aug 02, 2010
|reviewer: ktssmile from San Antonio, TX
|My daughter has ADHD, Bipolar and mood disorder, and has a hard time making friends and "fitting in". The first year I picked her up from Charis Hills, I cried becuase she was calling other campers by their names and she had made friends. She had 2 shoe-strings full of beads!! Campers get beads for helping out, being encouraging to others, using good manners, etc! Immediate recognition for good things done or attempted. The counselors are always encouraging, and accepting with the campers, they understand these disabilities! This was my daughter's 4th year and each year she is ready to go back! We tried church camp, where her brothers go, but it was to big and too unstructured for my daughter. She looks forward to the activities and the schedule they keep. Being Christian-based, each camper receives a Bible from camp and they spend a little time each day in study with their counselors, but mainly they have FUN!! She has enjoyed activities like Giddy-Up (horseback riding), photography, Camp News, swimming, and they also offer archery, riflery, 'just for fun', and so many other activites that each camper gets to choose from BEFORE they go to camp. Also before they go to camp, parents fill out informatin for the Camp staff to know about their camper. Any concerns you may have, they want to know them, so they can help your child have fun and make friends! After the first year, you and your child will be hooked! The money is well worth the reward! Awesome memories :-)

Great Camp for Asperger's ADD ADHD Kids! Highly Recommended!, Jul 28, 2010
|reviewer: bonniesuzanne from Austin, TX
|Our son has Asperger's Syndrome and this was his third year at Charis Hills Camp. He looks forward to coming to camp all year long! The counselors are amazing and the staff loves and cares for the kids and their families in such incredible ways. Everyone feels welcome from the moment you drive onto the property. The camp is spread over 100 acres and is laid out perfectly with great new buildings, cabins and barns. There are several lakes and lots of room to play. My son's favorite part were all of the activities that had something for everyone-everything from animal care with horseback riding to arts and crafts to geocaching (treasure hunting) to fishing and archery. The counselors work very hard to make sure every kid is included and feels a part of the group and to encourage friendships among the kids. Social skills are also worked on regularly, something that was important to us. We like that Charis Hills uses the bead reward system and it is fun to see the bead necklaces from each year with the special beads for various things from camp. We also loved the daily pictures of what was going on at camp and the award ceremony at the end. It was so much fun to see all the kids excited for their awards. The facilities at Charis Hills are new, very well built and top notch. Plenty of space. The food was very high quality and our son loved all of it and ate very well. He said everyone liked the food, even the picky eaters and no one had problems eating. We have been very happy with Charis Hills and really have no negatives. The camp has been a blessing to our family and our son asks to go back each year. He has made lifelong friends and it has given him self-confidence and helped him learn to be more independent. This is a great camp for boys or girls. Our son started in the younger session and is now in the teen session and both sessions are great. The sessions are each geared age-appropriately. Don't miss out on this great opportunity for your child to have a great camp experience.

You can rest easy when your specialcamper is at Charis Hills, Jul 27, 2010
|reviewer: Claudia339 from Bastrop, TX
|My daughter has multiple disabilities, and going to church camp has always been iffy. Will they give her the meds correctly and on time? Will they be put off by her differences? Will they expect her to learn and compete like a typical kid? Charis Hills does a WONDERFUL job of managing all the kids' needs and still being LOTS of fun. The counselors were mainly special ed teachers or majors, and the counselor/camper ratio was something like 1 to 2.5. The nurses were great. The activities were entirely appropriate. My daughter raved over the food, which included following her special diet. I really enjoyed looking at the over 800 pictures they posted online throughout the week, so I could see with my own eyes that she was having fun. The farm animals there, all very gentle, were a great hit with my daughter. These people REALLY know how to make camp healthy, happy and safe. I would recommend this camp to anyone whose child needs to feel normal and one-of-the-group, while still having special needs met. They do such a beautiful job. I'm so grateful.

Excellent place for a child with ADHD/Bipolar disorder!, Jul 16, 2010
|reviewer: jancochran1 from Paris, TX
|My son actually had an accident while at camp and hurt his shoulder. The owners of the camp took him to the emergency room right away, called me immediately and treated my son with loving care!!! Everyone at camp is very interested in the campers and their feelings, sensitive to their differences, and really work with the kids to help them build confidence and self-esteem. My son became so attached to Rand and Colleen that he cried when returning home because he was afraid he would never see them again. We have reassured Tristion he will definitely be seeing them again!

Awesome camp, Jul 05, 2010
|reviewer: kelly from Arkansas
|My twins (boy/girl) have attended this camp 3 years in a row. My son has aspergers and it has been great for him. My daughter doesn't have any special needs and loves this camp. The staff are highly trained to work and care for all these special needs kids and they are just awesome. I look foreward to many years of my kids attending Charis Hills Camp.

Absolutely The Best, Jul 05, 2010
|reviewer: Nancy & David from
|Our son has attended 4 years at Charis Hills (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) he is now 13. It is so hard to send your child off to camp, even tougher when your child may have some differences that make it even more difficult and downright scary for us parents. These folks are absolute PROS. They are experienced, educated, and caring. My son's time at Charis Hills each year has been instrumental in his emotional development, his self confidence, and his ability to deal with life's challenges. We have very diverse religious differences in our home (Jewish & Catholic). Charis Hills is sensitive to all beliefs.

Great Confidence-Building Camp!, Aug 24, 2009
|reviewer: bonniesuzanne from Austin, Texas
|Our son has attended Charis Hills for 2 years and has gained so much from this camp. The counselors and staff are very well trained and can handle anything! They love the kids and get even the shy-est kid involved. All the kids feel accepted and gain self-confidence. The great variety of activities mean any kid can find something they like to do. The campers make lifelong friends and learn to get along with others. The new facilities are top-notch and will only improve as the camp grows. As the parent of an Asperger's child, I feel very blessed to have found such an incredible camp for my son where he can feel accepted and gain the self-esteem he needs to carry him through the school year. We highly recommend Charis Hills to anyone who will listen and look forward to many more summers at this awesome camp.

A haven for special needs children, Jul 15, 2009
|reviewer: mmillsap from Fort Worth, Texas
|Our son has attended Charis Hills for two years (2008 & 2009). He loves it so much that he will be attending another session later this summer. The staff is top notch, with caring hearts and well equipped to deal with the campers special needs. There are lots of activities from swimming and photography to riding horses or archery. The facilities are also very nice and our son raves about the food. I would recommend it to anyone!

Super Fun Camp for Kids With Learning Differences, Jul 13, 2009
|reviewer: Lynnk from San Antonio, TX
|Charis Hills is a wonderful summer camp. Our kids have been campers there for two years now...and have had a blast! The counselors and staff do an amazing job of teaching the children that no matter who you are or what you are going through...you are wonderfully made by God. Our kids have come home every year with self confidence and lots of fun stories to tell! I would highly recommend this camp for children with or without learning differences.

Charis Hills is fantastic!, Jul 10, 2009
|reviewer: Cami from Keller, TX
|My daughter has high-functioning autism. When she was 11, I took a leap of faith and registered her for one week of camp at Charis Hills, which at that time was located over five hours away from our home. I am so glad I did it. She had a great time at camp that first year. She is now 13, and for the last two years, she has attended the 2-week session at Charis Hills. Charis Hills provides a loving, nurturing and fun atmosphere for kids who need more help and supervision than the typical child. My daughter has enjoyed their activities, food, counselors, and has made some new friends along the way. She will continue to attend Charis Hills each summer. I highly recommend this camp and encourage you to consider it for your child.

Great Camp, Jul 06, 2009
|reviewer: firstname.lastname@example.com from Plano, TX
|My son is ADHD and impulsive. He has attend Charis Hills the last two summers and has been successful there both times. He is looking forward to going back next year. The camp's positive behavior systems works well for him and they are able to bring out the best in him. The campers are well supported by caring Christian staff. He enjoys the variety of activities and especially likes the fun (and well trained) counselors. The facility is new this year and is a wonderful place. I would highly recommend this camp especially if you have concerns that you child would not make it through the week at a traditional camp.

She was so proud!, Jul 04, 2009
|reviewer: artrandi from Phoenix, AZ
|We love Charis Hills! My daughter spent her first camping experience at Charis Hills. To hear her tell her stories and sing songs that she learned was such a proud moment! I could tell that her sense of self got a boost, and that she had made some good friends. She thrived on the attention from the counselors, and felt welcomed. It was really cool to see the photos that the kids took at camp which were played on the big screen in the dining hall. She still has her bead necklace. Each bead was earned by doing a good deed; she felt very accomplished. She had new skills to show off. She really wanted to stay on for another week, and I'm sure she would have. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Christian Camp for learning different kids, Jul 01, 2009
|reviewer: mkjecbrown from Dallas, Texas
|Charis Hills provided our two sons with a great learning experience. They enjoyed the many different types of activities they got to participate in each day. They had fun in NOVA, which is the structured learning time of each day. The Bible time was fun and upbeat and they were excited to get their own bible for camp! They were filled with tons of self confidence and their self esteem was boosted big time with all the encouraging words and actions of the many well trained counselors that were at camp. They are so excited about camp that they want to go back as soon as possible. And this was their first camp experience and first time away from home, and they had so much fun that they want to return as soon as possible! The structured daily activities was great for their learning issues. They loved the food each day! All the counselors and staff were wonderful and they only had good words to say about everyone that worked there. I would highly recommend this camp if you have a child on the autism spectrum who requires more one on one time with social skills training, team work, academics, and to boost their self esteem.

AMES, Iowa — Four 4-H members have been selected to represent Iowa at the National 4-H Conference March 24-29 in Chevy Chase, Md.
Kayla Krull, Northwood; Abigail Peterson, Harcourt; Amy Prestholt, Manly; and Savannah Ruby, Greenfield, will represent Iowa's interests in the national 4-H program, said Brenda Allen, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H youth development specialist.
The Des Moines Register and the Iowa 4-H Foundation will sponsor the 4-H'ers' trip to Maryland. Carol Ehlers, an ISU Extension and Outreach youth program specialist serving Buena Vista, Calhoun, Cherokee, Ida, Pocahontas and Sac counties, will accompany the youth.
ISU Extension and Outreach sends only four delegates per year, and candidates are eligible to attend National 4-H Conference only one time. Delegates must submit an application and be selected by a committee.
"We selected these four representatives due to their involvement in 4-H at the local and state level as well as their leadership and communication skills," Allen said.
The youth 4-H delegates will meet with all of Iowa's legislators to inform them about current 4-H accomplishments. In addition, they will participate in round tables on current youth issues and prepare and present briefs to the national agencies connected to their issue. Delegates also will have opportunities to collaborate and highlight local 4-H programs and activities.
"This conference brings top 4-H'ers from across the country to share ideas to strengthen the 4-H program nationally and at the state level," Allen said.

Webster County 4-H'er Abigail Peterson, 17, is the daughter of Mark and Kim Peterson. A nine-year 4-H member, she has participated in citizenship, leadership, communication, clothing, and home improvement projects. She has participated in National 4-H Congress and state and county 4-H councils, and has received state project awards for citizenship and clothing. She also has served as vice president, secretary and treasurer of her 4-H club.
A student at Prairie Valley High School in Gowrie, Peterson said, "4-H has taught me many life skills such as interviewing, public speaking, organization and goal setting. It also has helped me know that in a future career I want to use communication and help others."
Worth County 4-H'er Amy Prestholt, 16, is the daughter of Linda and Dave Prestholt. An eight-year 4-H member, she has participated in horse, dog, communications, photography and citizenship projects. She has participated in state, area and county 4-H councils; the county youth committee, and has received a state dog project award.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Tar Heels downed ACC rival Virginia Tech 3-2 on Friday to remain undefeated at Anderson Stadium this season and improve to 24-12 overall and 5-2 in conference play.
After two scoreless innings, Amanda Ake homered over right center to put Virginia Tech up 1-0 in the top of third.
With just two hits on the board for Carolina heading into the fourth, Amy Nece drew a walk before Jenna Kelly hit her second home run of the season over left to bring in Nece and give the Tar Heels the 2-1 lead.
In the fifth, Ake recorded her second home run of the game to tie the score at 2-2.
The Tar Heels answered in the bottom half with a solo shot to center by Haleigh Dickey, her sixth of the season.
The Hokies had two runners on base in the top of the seventh with one out, but back-to-back strikeouts by Lori Spingola finished the game.

Majors in the Bachelor of Arts program are normally declared in the student's fourth semester. When the time for your declaration of major approaches, you will be notified by the Dean of Arts and Sciences. The departments and programs offering majors will have scheduled information sessions which you should attend if at all possible. A major is declared by conferring with the Chair of the department and getting the Chair's signature on the major declaration card issued to you by the Dean.
The Chair will review the department curriculum with you, discuss your interests and experience, and assign you to an advisor within the department. As soon as possible, and before the end of spring preregistration, you should confer with your new advisor about your major program.
The Political Science major is organized around four subfields. You are required to take a core course in each of the four. The core courses are:
140 American Politics and Policy
170 International Politics
205 Comparative Politics
210 Political Theory
As a Political Science major, you must take 140, 170, 205 and 210. These core courses are the foundation for all advanced study in the discipline, and students should complete them by the end of the sophomore year. Special permission is required to take them later. In addition, you must elect at least four other courses in Political Science at the 200 and 300 levels, one of which must be a 300-level seminar taken in the senior year.
Thus, the minimum major would be:
4 core courses
3 electives in Political Science
1 300-level Political Science seminar
Under college rules, the maximum major would consist of twelve courses.
You are strongly encouraged to study off-campus or abroad, and up to two courses earned off-campus from non-Bucknell staff may count towards a Political Science major. Other courses in approved programs will of course count toward graduation.
On-line courses do not count towards the major.
The Department strongly encourages its majors to acquire such auxiliary skills as foreign languages and statistical analysis.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger says Theo Walcott has become a more accomplished player this season.
The winger has come a long way since his move from Southampton as a fresh-faced 16-year-old back in 2006, establishing himself as a first-team regular in a short space of time.
Walcott returned from international duty with England this week, and Wenger believes the more disciplined wide man has improved the defensive side of his game in recent months.
"I believe that Theo is developing very well into a team player - more than he ever was," said the Frenchman.
"I personally am happy with the way he has developed this season. He defends better, his link player is better, his final balls are better and he is only 22 years old.
"Of course when you play against Spain for the strikers it's different because you don't touch the ball a lot.
"You know when the game starts that Spain have the ball 70 per cent of the time.

I just bought 4 barrels and 4 DCI receivers. I have tried every barrel on every receiver and each will tighten to about the 9-10 oclock postion. I am unable to get any of them to the 12 oclock postion.
If I back them each off I get a nice gap between the receiver and barrel face. Any ideas how I can get these mounted correctly??
There must be a solution. If I use a big washer then I have a large gap in my breech.
I need advise on this one.

Alright, here we go.
Tell me everything you can about your PS!
1. Your website says that you used to source from others, but now grow your own. Or which sub-appellation(s) in Napa Valley? -- the website says it's 40 acres just north of St. Helena. (I personally like the Silverado Trail side much better than the Rt. 29 side, less traffic and it's prettier, and much less touristy) Do you use everything you grow, or do you source to others? And if so, whom?
2. Your website also says that you decided to plant your own PS after sourcing from others for many years. How old are your PS vines? Which clone(s) did you choose and how did you make this choice?
3. What sort of toast do you use on the new (33%) and 2-yr old (67%) (at least for the 2006), which the 2006 PS aged in? How did you determine that 19 months was an appropriate aging time?
4. I was one of the woot labrats for the 2004 Lot 1 and loved it. As a PS aficionado, and having previously tried the Michael-David Petite Petit, it was a very interesting experience. How would you compare the 2005 to the '04 in terms of the Lot 1?
5. Similarly, I have a (as-yet unopened) 2005 Titus PS. How would you compare the '06?
6. Your website suggests not aging your PS for longer than 10 years. Is that from vintage or from release? Emily has, during the Lot 1 offering, suggested that the Lot 1 will age for up to 12-15 years.
7. We had Kent Rasmussen on here, share his many experiences with very old and aged petite sirah:
KRWINE wrote:Kent here
It seems to me that Petite Sirah is one of the most interesting wines when it comes to the issue of aging and drinking. Young PS is big, rich, usually pretty tannic and above all full of luscious fruit. Funnily enough, unlike a Cab. Sauv., even though they are structurally huge, they are still very drinkable when they are young—mostly because of the charm of all the wonderful fruit. Once a PS is about 10-15 years old it usually starts to go through a "dumb" phase as it loses it's fruit, but then when they get really old – 20-25 years they come around again like no other wine I have ever had….wonderful rich Bordeaux-like complexity…tons of that cedar-cigar box character that you always associate with really nice old clarets. So my recommend is drink them young or let them sit forever—most PS have the structure to handle the age.
What made me "an expert" on old PS: A few years ago there was a small wine shop in the San Francisco Bay Area that bought people's cellars. He also bought our wine, but unfortunately, while the fellow who ran the shop was a nice guy, he didn't pay his bills. One day I was in the shop (collecting a bill) and he had dozens of bottles from the late 1960s to about 1980 of California PS on a table…I said…why? And he told me that when he resold the wine he bought from collections he could never get anyone to take the PS. I made a deal with him that we would trade a bottle of our wine for a bottle of PS…he got something he could sell and I got paid. Over the course of the next year or so (before the IRS caught him) we traded about a hundred bottles and Celia and I had old old PS for dinner several nights each week. These were the great old fathers of PS…Concannon, Burgess, Freemark Abbey, Ridge, and so on. Other than an occasional corky bottle we never had a single one that was "over the hill". It was a treat and a rare opportunity to learn about old PS.
Do you have any similar experiences with PS that old? What is your take on its aging profile and "dumb period(s)"?
WD This is so amazing...cant wait for the next one. To get into the mind of the winemaker and understand exactly what they are all about is amazing...
I just logged on a few minutes ago. I love this format...it makes this so much more personal. Just wish I had a glass of Titus in front of me to sample at the same time...
man i would love to see some Titus ZIN on woot
damn I think I have to buy a set now ... despite having a plethora of Cabs...
That was awesome. Thank you so much to WD, the Woot Staff, & the folks at Titus for setting this up!
I'm not sure if this will be archived at all. WD39, you know the answer to that?
So I take it that this was done with Titus TV setup, not a woot thing? It looks like Titus has done this before.
If this is a mobile wine.woot service, though, I look forward to seeing more wineries participate like this in the future. Very very cool!

This is something Titus has been doing for awhile I think. You can find their archived stuff here:
I don't know if you'll need an account at Ustream for that. I ran across Titus' stuff after they did some posting during a GV Ustream.
Edit: Doesn't look like they've added the stream from today though.
Here's something similar tonight, for the 2005 lot 1!

'However, late Saturday night the team informed Dave Andreychuk's agent, Roland Thompson, that the team would not exercise its $1.1 million option for a 2001-02 contract for the winger. "He's certainly not out of their plans," Thompson said about the possibility that Andreychuk could return to the Sabres this fall. Thompson added that Andreychuk does want to play one final NHL season, even if he has to leave Buffalo to do so.'

|I keep holding on to that temporary thing too LOL
|You understand me! Yay, yes the little monster is basically good and while we're not in line to be winning any obedience awards any time soon (clearly), he knows that when he's told to do something it's not a request and is expected to do it. However, I don't know if the planets are out of order, the earth is off it's axis or what the deal is, but he's just been a stinker lately. People have been saying that their dogs were just like this from about 9 months to about 14 months. I'm holding on to the thought that this is only temporary and of course all his fault, right. LOL
I understand!
Rowdy may not be a GSD but he is a 9month old male teenager (australian shepherd)
Somedays I think What a GOOD Boy! and some days I threaten his family jewels several times a day. LOL
He is really a good boy, and just like your boy will get this obedience stuff down and I think be a dream to show, but getting there some days feels like I'm on a Quest to find some lost artifact LOL
Sorry... I don't have any input. I just found your post to be so hilarious and relatable.
Only for us it was just basic OB this fall. I complained to the trainer about all my issues with our girl.
He takes the leash and she is a perfect angel. I feel like a total arss.
Good luck to you and Agility training! And thanks for the smile today
Hahaha! XD I'm sorry, that was too funny. I hate how they do that- with you they are good (or at least mindful enough), then as soon as someone else comes along it's like they can't hear you. 9_9 But from the tone of your post I have confidence that you're going to whoop that boy into shape. : ) Good luck and I hope the next session you have he stops being a brat. XD

Ugh... teenagers
We're a crazy boy?! What happened to that sweet little boy who was so eager to please and was stuck to me like glue?! I know...he's growing up, finding his independence, but I don't want him to. He's still a good boy and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, but whoa...he's so reminiscent of raising my human child. Thank goodness I had a girl, because he couldn't possibly bring me nearly as much drama as she did as a teenager.
We're trying our hand at agility. SO fun! We just switched training facilities, because of scheduling, and this new place has a totally different philosophy than the other one. I like it and I think we're going to be fine, but the learning curve is going to be a challenge. This trainer is totally treat based and doesn't give any negative markers. Basically, do what's asked...get a treat. Don't do it...no treat and no correction. Prior to this we've had tools like, bitter apple, pinch collars, etc. in addition to treats for good behavior.
Well, last night was our first night at the new facility. OH MY GOSH! I don't know where this version of my dog came from. Wouldn't sit, wouldn't stay, jumping on me, nipping, you name it...he did it. At one point he totally ditzed out and just ran aimlessly through the arena. I was shocked and embarrassed. I so didn't know this dog.
The trainer was like Jesus...calm, sweet, telling me that it was ok, giving him the excuse that it was the new arena and a new environment. Then...she holds out one of her treats and the little turkey does everything she asked him to do. Now, in addition to being shocked and embarrassed....I'm green with envy and jealousy! This is the dog who is scared of any stranger that approaches him and has to be lured into letting people pet him (we do a lot of work in socializing him). So...while I'm glad he didn't bark at her and cause a scene....how dare he befriend her over her puppy crack.
On the way home, the turkey was quietly snoozing in the backseat as if none of that last hour had transpired. Cute...sleepy...happy....and so in for it today. Oh yes....that little man is going to train his butt off for the next week. We're going to go into that arena next week and resist her puppy crack and dog whisperer voodoo like a good little boy and do everything mom tells him to do.
I know he will be good at agility, and enjoy it once we learn how to do it, but oh boy...we have a long road ahead of us if this is going to be the dog he chooses to be.
I'm just blathering...looking for someone to say "your not alone" and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel or that you're having like experience at 11 months old.

text: So now that we are steadily inching closer to D-Day. Rumors are flying all over the place. Just heard that the Pistons may have a sign & trade with Bucks for Villinueva & Sessions. Would Villi be a better PF in the Pistons system than Boozer? I really like Sessions also. Bayless will be the real deal real soon, Fernandez, don't know much about the kid and Outlaw a pretty decent PF. All I know is that Portland has 4 or 5 draft picks (which by the way they don't need because they are loaded with youth), therefore, they are looking for some veteran leadership Hell, you may be able to ship Tay & Rip for some a couple or three of these guys. In addition to gaining some needed athleticism, we can still go after a bonafide free agent. I am listening to Sprotstalk Radios around the states, and I am hearing the Pistons name mentioned in quite a few scenarios.

I made my first trip to the outdoor range this morning. 100 rounds of Federal ammo without a glitch. I've shot over 300 rounds (the rest was Monarch ammo from Academy) so far and it just shoots better and better. Also, I shot steel targets for the first time ever today. Loved it! I may never go back to paper targets again.
The Sheriff's dept. opens it's range to the public on the last Saturday of the month for free. They have 10 target holders at the end of a 100 yd range, with concrete shooting lines at 3, 7, 15, 25, 50, and 100 yds. They also have a big rack with 6 steel pie plates, and at least 8 movable steel silhouettes.
I started by walking my way across and back the pie plates at 7 yds. Then I staggered 3 silhouettes at 11:00, 12:00, and 2:00 and practiced drawing and double-tapping each one in sequence. Then I got real fancy and worked on the "failure drill" (2 COM then 1 head shot). I'll probably bring 200 rounds next time.

Billups: 67.3% (Up a TON from last year) Flip Murray: 57.6% Carlos Delfino: 57.1% Rip Hamilton: 54.3% Tayshaun Prince: 49.1% Rasheed Wallace: 47.2% (sad...) Antonio McDyess: 40.9% (eww...) Personally, I think a lot of us (me included) over analyze the performance of some of the bench guys. Every missed layup seems huge because they don't get many opportunities at them. It just seems easier to quickly forgive a starter for missing shot than it is for a reserve. BTW, Chauncey went from the worst 15ppg+ scorer in inside FG% to one of the best. Which is why his FG% is his 2nd best ever, but his 3 point shooting percentage is way down nearly 10% from last year. Hopefully this isn't just the "new" ball effect.

After last week's bacon-wrapped treat that was yummy but totally unhealthy, this adventure is more on the healthy side.
Often, when a recipe says it is "fit and tasty," I find it's neither. Usually, when something is labeled as "fit," you have to give up some of the taste, and if it's labeled "tasty," it really isn't all that fit.
But, if the recipe is correct on the calorie count, this one is both.
What makes this pizza great is fresh ingredients and using other ingredients in moderation.
Typically, if you're like me, pizza is best smothered in sauce and cheese. After making this recipe, I found the suggested amounts are just enough.
I added fresh sliced mushrooms to one pizza and green onions to another. I also added chopped fresh basil to both. I add fresh basil to pretty much any pizza or Italian dish because it's one of my favorite flavors. It's also easy to grow in a pot on the patio during summer to have on hand for cooking.
If tomatoes had been on hand, I would have chopped some of them to add as well. Really, any vegetables could be added to the pizza and still maintain a healthy dish. With gardens coming into season, the vegetable topping options are limitless. It's all according to your taste.
I confess I did not use turkey pepperoni mainly because I don't care for the taste of turkey-substitute products. So the calorie count on the ones I made could be a bit higher. No offense to turkeys, but I like the real stuff.
Near the end of the recipe, it also says to spray the top of the pizzas with cooking spray. I didn't do that. It just sounded weird.
I also didn't have olive oil cooking spray, so I simply brushed the tortillas with olive oil and it worked just fine.
The end result was a crispy, thin-crust pizza loaded with flavor. Hopefully, after I added the extra toppings to it, it was not also loaded with extra calories.
It looked and tasted like pizzas you'd find at a high-priced restaurant with a low price made at home.
Serve with a fresh salad and you've got a quick and easy meal with lots of style, great taste and few calories.

Fit & Tasty Pizza
(Makes 2 pizzas, approximately 200-250 calories per serving)
1 small wrap (whole wheat tortilla or flat bread)
3 tablespoons of pizza or marinara sauce
1 stick (or 1/4 cup) mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dry oregano
5 slices of turkey pepperoni or meat and or vegetables of your choosing (optional)
Extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the wrap with cooking spray and place on cookie sheet. Toast the wrap bread before creating your pizza. Toast until wrap is crisp but not brown.
Spread pizza sauce evenly on bread and top with fresh garlic. Add cheese, meat, vegetables and oregano. Spray top with cooking spray.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

Tick volume is equal to amount of ticks at the unit of time. There is direct correlation between tick volume and real amount of deals. Every change of the price is a result of a real request to perform a deal. Consequently, fewer requests we have, the less price changes we get, and, as a consequence, tick volume is smaller.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't explain myself correctly. What I want to do is increasing the number of lots as the trade goes on the trend I'm following but before closing it . Every time a new candlestick is in my trend, new lots would be added. I know you can do it manually, so I would like how to do it in an automatic way.
Please excuse my English. I'm still learnin! :)Thank you
Start a manual trade?
if the direction is right automatically add another trade on start of next candlestick (Ordersend(.........))
if the manual order is closed then close all automatically opened orders?

No. I dont want to make any manual trade. Only automatic trades. I just want to add more lots to any open trade and without creating a new order . Could someone tell me what function could do the job?
Thank you.
search for the snowball EA (its open source), there is an 80% chance that this is exactly what you really want to do. Its an anti-grid (similar to anti-martingale) EA, that will add to the winner and immediately cut the losers. It will cause a constant bleeding when it ranges but once it starts trending your profit will very soon exceed all previous losses since profit will rise quadratic with price.
Its a semi-automatic EA, you decide when to start and when to stop it and it will then place the orders automatically. You can let it automatically TP at a certain profit level or when price crosses a line that you draw into the chart. You can also pause at any time (before the weekend for example) and resume at the same level or even reverse the trading direction without resetting it.

How to add lots to an open trade?
Pretty easy:
1. Open two trades with the same maximum lot size in opposite directions (hedging)
2. If you want to add lots in one direction, simply Close the other direction partially

That is totally incorrect. Do the maths. Your answer is just as "noob" as the question.
That is effectively the same as adding to your position with a NEW trade in the same direction at the current price without the need for "hedging"; not to mention the extra cost (spread & commission) of the "hedging".

We have already discovered iOS 6 to have a versatile status bar that changes colors to match the surrounding UI (user interface). Unfortunately, if you're jailbroken on iOS 5 like most people here are, then you are stuck between the boring black and gray status bars. If you don't want to be, then a new upcoming jailbreak tweak called StatusTint by iOS developer Rudolf Lichtner will give you the ability to change your status bar's colors.
The tweak is enabled or disabled right from the Settings application in the StatusTint preferences pane. You can also choose between having a gradient status bar, which means two colors (shown above), and using one solid color for your status bar. For whichever you choose to have, you will find two RGB sliders in the preferences pane to select your colors. The preferences pane is shown below:
Having the RGB sliders gives you a very broad range of possible color selections, unfortunately it also means having to guess what color you are choosing since they offer no indication of what color you are currently sitting on. It is also recommended that you respring the device after you make a change to the settings so that they will take effect.
The issue with the landscape status bar not appearing correctly has been resolved in another release of SatatusTint from Rudolf's private repository. It will be updated in the ModMyi repository shortly with the same update.
If you are interested in trying the tweak before it goes live on any public repositories, you can add Rudolf's repository and download the tweak for free to give it a try. His repository is shown below:

text: On Thursday, House Bill 2535 passed in the Arizona House of Representatives by a 34 to 22 vote. Introduced by state Representative John Kavanagh (R-23), HB 2535 would require that when certification from a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) is a prerequisite by federal law for the transfer of a firearm or firearm suppressor -- as defined in the National Firearms Act -- such certification must be provided within sixty days if the applicant is not prohibited by law from receiving the firearm or firearm suppressor. This legislation would ensure deadlines are met and that individuals who are lawfully seeking to transfer a firearm or firearm suppressor are able to do so in an expeditious manner. Additionally, HB 2535 would provide an individual who has been denied certification by a CLEO with a written explanation for the denial.

Arsène Wenger believes Robin van Persie's stunning goal spree is down to his relaxed approach on the pitch.
The Dutch international has hit 12 goals in his last eight games for Arsenal to continue an astonishing year in the red and white of Arsenal.
Wenger insists his star striker has always had it in him to produce such a rich vein of form - but he refused to draw comparisons with the world's best.
"He is in a period where he shows it is natural for him to score goals," said Wenger. "When you are not desperate for goals, you score.
"Hopefully we can keep him going, he is one of the top, top, top in the world at the moment.
"I think you have to compare him with players playing in his period," he added.
"We have [Lionel] Messi, we have [Cristiano] Ronaldo, we have many good strikers. I don't try to compare him with other strikers. I just want to keep him going as he does at the moment for us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Picardie glasses are fantastic! I've had my original ones for 18 years. Just replenished/added to them about a year ago with a few new ones. You can't tell which ones are the old ones and which ones are new.
They're sturdy. If they do break, it's tempered safety glass, so no jagged pieces. I have had two spontaneously break from my original set though.
If I had room in my cabinet, I'd buy a new set.

I kind of like the clock, but the motion activated snooze would be bad for me. With four cats that jump and run to the offending alarm, one of them is bound to make it go into snooze mode and make me late for work....oh wait, I usually am anyway, I like that it projects the time though!

I just wanted to say I LOVE the candles...LOVE them. In fact - I am going to crunch numbers to see if I can squeezeout enough this week for a few more sets. One of my BEST buys ever. They are beautiful, everyone mentions them when they walk in (they are on my idland) & so safe. I haven't had candles in years due to babies & boys & now I can have safety AND a beautiful candle. YAY!
They do smell good too - not terribly strong, but just a light fragrance. You might be able to smell them more in a small space like a poweder room, but in my open kitchen you never notice unless you are up close. It's perfect, Dh hates things that are too strong.
The sheets look great. When I lived in the dorm last year I bought terrible sheets. I wound up using queen size sheets because the twin XL ones were horrible. However, these look much better than the ones I bought, and they are much cheaper as well.

Sadly, I think their quality has gone down somewhat in recent years. (I'd guess since they restarted production under new management). Several of the ones I bought a little over 2 years ago have chips at the rim, some visible etching from the dishwasher, and originally came imperfect with at least a few small but visible bubbles and/or ripples in the glass. We've broken a few as well. One fell off the counter onto the kitchen floor just the other day and spread about a billion tiny pieces of glass across every inch of the room. I can attest that many of the resulting tiny pieces are in fact quite sharp.
Still, I'm considering this set to use as replacements for the broken/chipped ones and to have extras. The price is pretty decent.

Ah... My mom has some gems, and some coal... The best, and that which I am passing on to my son is this:
"Take care of your 'insert favorite toy here', because if it breaks, I am NOT going to buy you a new one." It only took the loss of one favorite before I learned she meant business.
As far as here... Pretty good price for a heater/fan. If mine ever broke I might go for it. ;)
Do people really take Oneida flatwear to college these days? I always bought the crappy stuff from the dollar store when I was that age. I didn't feel so bad when someone walked off with a fork that cost me a dime.
Anyone know if the clock LED display is readable from a distance? The projection on my current clock is great, but you have to be up close to the clock to press the button that lights up the LED display to make it readable. Clock is almost useless in the daylight or if the projection is not in your line of sight.
You don't find genuine Magnasonic brand products just anywhere you know.
The candles are fantastic! I bought them the last time they appeared on woot. They look beautiful on my mantle. The orange hue from the online photo is only evident when the candles are on during the daytime. At night the candles look very much like the real thing.
The lids are on wrong for the snap stuff picture, why would I ever want to pour from that flat little thing. Put it on the big one one, the big one... Sorry can't help it and apparently I am the only one twitching because of it.
Don't get confused about the Magnasonic clock.
Magnavox + Panasonic ≠ Magnasonic.
Magnasonic = Crap.
Adding in my love of the candles. I have no excuse to get more right now, but I wish I did! Maybe once I actually do some real decorating (like after I move and have to unpack crap all over again...)
But yeah, they're beautiful! The look so real and it's fantastic because they aren't only safe, but I don't have to worry about having my birds out around them (no fumes and no fire). The price is insanely good too.
I have a great idea, Woot -- sell a set of just the baby ones! I do love these, especially after getting back from Italy, where they so commonly serve as wineglasses. Wish I were there right now, I don't care how hot it is. I can deal.
You can buy a 40-something piece set of the snapware at costco for $25. Way better deal.
You're all going to think I am crazy to say this. Best purchase I ever made was when I bought these flameless candles from Woot recently! They are incredible! You set the knob to timer at the time you want the candle to come on and you forget about it. The candle will automatically shut off after 5 hours AND come back on at the same time the next night. I do have a complaint though... 1 of my 12 that I ordered had a timer that didn't work. I have to admit that these things are so cool that I am really really really tempted to buy another 3 sets and put more around my house.

Wow!! This season has really gone by so fast for me this year! I had a great time this year with all of my guests that traveled out here to Delaware to gun with me. I had my first Sea Duck hunt this year with Dan who I met through here in Maryland where I bagged my first Scoter and Oldsquaw on the Chesapeak Bay. Can't thank him enough for taking me out. I did fairly well this year with ducks and I can't complain.
How about you? How did you make out? Any memorable moments?
I hope everyone had a great and safe and very memorable season! Congrats to those who got trophy birds and bands. Congrats to all of you who just started hunting and got your first bird. Finally congrats to all you dog handlers who's best bud's made their first retreives hopefully of many to come!
Take care to all and I hope that everyone still pops up every now and then to say hello and check out anything new on the forum. I will be adding things as the Spring comes in through Summer preparing for the 08-09 season.

Arsène Wenger believes that tiredness was only one of the reasons behind Arsenal's defeat to Swansea at the weekend.
After Saturday's 2-0 reverse at Emirates Stadium, the Frenchman spoke about his team being "jaded", a comment that drew scrutiny given we are just over a third of the way through the season.
Ahead of the Champions League trip to Olympiacos, Wenger clarified his viewpoint.
"People don't understand tiredness very well in England sometimes," he said. "They think you can only be tired at end of the season.
"For me it's a lack of freshness and you recover with a few days' rest. If I take you out now, I can make you tired in 10 minutes. But tomorrow you will have recovered and won't be tired for two months. It can happen with repetition of games with the Champions League. But it is part of the job and I don't want to complain.
"I believe Swansea are a good team. They played well, while we were not at our best. If you are like that in this league this can happen.
"It is not an excuse. It doesn't stop me feeling completely responsible for losing the Swansea game but I believe as well that has happened before and I try to be as objective as possible after a defeat. That little bit of freshness [we lack] is only part of the explanation. Some players didn't play on Wednesday night at Everton, so they were not tired.
"At the moment it is fashionable to be against Arsenal, so every single word you say people turn it against you. It doesn't stop me saying what I believe.
"We had some internationals who played Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday - and we were only ones to play two away games in the Premier League. That is why I felt we lacked freshness but it is not the only explanation for our defeat."
