Bye bye heat, hello cool
Posted by Phil Ferro
Short term:
A cold front will move in across South Florida on Wednesday. We will see more clouds and a chance for rain. Temps will return to near normal levels for this time of year. We can say good-bye to the above average temps we've seen over the last few days.
Long range:
By the end of the week, cold air settles in and we could see weekend lows in the 50's.

Still On Flood Watch
Posted by Phil Ferro
Wet and Soggy Work Week
Clouds with hints of sunshine will be the routine over the next couple of days. The push of more warm, moist air will amp up the instability over South Florida tonight bringing a chance for heavy rain. A Flood Watch is in effect for the Miami-Dade and Broward Counties until 10pm. An area of low pressure sweeping to the north will keep a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms at the start of the weekend.
Flood Watch
Posted by Vivian Gonzalez
Almost 9 inches of rain have been reported in portions of South Florida in the last 12-15 hours. Street flooding of urban areas due to poor drainage and saturated soils with additional rains expected today will make streets impassible. Therefore, the National Weather Service has a flood watch in effect for coastal and metro Broward and Miami-Dade until 10pm.
Severe Weather Expected
Posted by Vivian Gonzalez
Lots of rain has been falling in Broward. Areas of Pompano Beach, Margate and Deerfield Beach have already been under an Urban Flood advisory. Additional showers and storms today will produce heavy rain leading localized street flooding, frequent lightning and gusty winds with the activity that forms. Therefore, be sure to pack the patience throughout your afternoon to early evening commute because it will be slowed down by the rain.
Signs of Summer
Posted by Brent Cameron
Recent days have featured higher humidity levels and (like it or not) our steamy air will likely stick around... for a very long time! The official start of the summer season is a full month away. Just the same, south Florida appears to be getting our usual "head start" on summer type weather... NOW.

The Gospel of Judas - Game of Sorrow
Transiteatret-Bergen and Ultima presents
« The Gospel of Judas – Game of Sorrow » by TORE VAGN LID
September 11 th 2013 – at The National Opera, Oslo
Last part in Tore Vagn Lids trilogy
JudasEvangeliet (The Gospel of Judas) will be third and last part of Tore Vagn Lids trilogy of «Game of Sorrow». «Games of sorrow» (Sørgespill) does not have «actors», and no «musicians» or «singers», but only players. Inspired by the old board games with its rules and narratives, the games of sorrow tries to reconcile societal overview with existential insight, seeks the individual in the system and the system in the individual, and seeks contexts and rules that unites seemingly isolated and individual destinies...

I cannot understand how the astonishing number of people I see wearing denim on summer weekends avoid heat stroke. The man on the left in the illustration does a good job of illustrating how to deal with the season.
Start as he does, with a linen short sleeved shirt, preferably one with cuffs on the sleeves and two pockets on the chest, and self-belted shorts made from cotton or linen. Consider tieing a cotton bandanna around the neck but don't worry about it either way. Slip into a pair of espadrilles, with or without ankle ties, and head for the bar for a cold drink like the French 75. Pour a jigger of gin into a flute, add half a glass of sparkling wine or champagne, lemon juice and simple syrup to taste, and top off with more sparkling wine. Add a straw hat before going out into the glare.
On cooler days or slightly more formal occasions, substitute linen trousers for the shorts. And that sums up summer casual. Don't forget the drink.

Being a native of the Arizona desert, sleeves and slacks were a summer staple. They prevented sunburn, wicked moisture quickly, stayed cool and looked good.
Coverage doesn't have to equal 'hot', you'll be surprised how much cooler you feel when the sun isn't grilling your skin. - July 17, 2008 at 8:01:00 AM PDT

How about some real-life examples instead of these magazine scans, Will?
I'm sure that you can come up with much better examples! - July 17, 2008 at 11:03:00 AM PDT

I do love Esky/AA scans. Is that a sports jacket on the other guy in the pic? Is it OK to wear a sports jacket with short sleeves and shorts?

I am not sure whether or not you meant this to happen, but people gain one point just for voting on something, which means users will just vote on an answer just to get points. I find that if an answer is good, you should feel obligated to vote on it, and likewise with if it is bad. I don't vote on something if I find that it is a good answer, but it has some mistakes, or if I don't think it is a very good question, but doesn't break any of the rules. No question, but you wanted us to put some things in relation with the update in the Q&A.
Yes that was a new option in this version which I forgot to change. I have been making a few other changes to the points system, the main ones that will have made a difference are:
But you should still vote down if answers are completely wrong or for spam/junk questions. (Also, if the questions/answers are later deleted because they are bad, then you should get that lost point back.)
EDIT: After a bit more thought I decided to keep the +1 for voting something up. It's a very minor bonus compared to the other scoring. People's scores are in the hundreds or thousands so a few points here and there doesn't matter.
I don't want to remove the -1 for down voting because it will not discourage the people down voting just for the hell of it. But again it's a small hit so hopefully everyone will still down vote when necessary.

hey ladies, i'm baaaaaack. i've been on a two month long hiatus from bust. i am drowning in graduate school. finally, after the mardis gras madness has faded i can get back to a normal life and back to posting on bust! i'm glad to see this thread is still getting alot of action.
on the actual mardi gras (that being this past tuesday) i wore my "who needs big tits when you have an ass like this," t-shirt. (karategrrl i think you posted a link to that tee, it's from jane.com) i got loads and loads of compliments on it from both girls and guys. i even had an old black lady shout at me from a passing car, "yeah girl, you said it!" i was so proud and happy, especially since down in the french quarter ladies are giving peep shows for beads. i'm not willing to do that (and any man who wants to trade beads for flashes has no interest in seeing my tits) but i am willing to shake my booty. -------------------- "To lose everything at the edge of such a glorious eternity is far sweeter than to win by plodding through a cautious, painless, and featureless life."

I admit to having a bit of a thing for large areolas. Hee hee. My areolas are, I guess, medium sized, while I have those almost cylindrical nipples (when they're erect). I don't especially care for when they get like that.
Thank Goddess for the fact that all breasts--large or small--have one common characteristic--areolas/nipples! |

Crinline, that's a great story!
There's a guy in the gym who talks to me--all the while staring at my breasts. Or actually it must be my nipples he's staring at, because I don't have much in the way of breasts, especially in my boob-squashing workout tops. In the past I've been very self-conscious, wanting to cover up and not have anyone look at me. Recently I've been thinking, "fuck it!" while actually getting a bit of a charge out of knowing Gym Boy is checking out my (--MY--) tits! Nipples ARE great. I love nipples. |

yeah, I usually wear my most padded bra on my "fat" days, to tone down the bloated gut effect. But, speaking of going braless-
I'm happy to report that my small breasts got both me and my boyfriend out of speeding tickets. We were driving up to school, I was following him, so we were both going the same speed. I was wearing a tight thin ribknit tank top and no bra for a comfortable drive. The cop pulls us both over and after doing the whole license n registration thing he tells me to get out of the car. I do and he takes me around behind my car, I can see Crinoboy craning his neck trying to see what's going on. The cop asks me how old I am, despite it being right there on my license in his hand. He then asks me what I do in school, if I like it, etc., generally chatting like he didn't just pull me over. The whole time I can tell his eyes aren't on my face, even though he's wearing those scary reflective cop sunglasses. It was also cold, so my bralessness was rather obvious. After the weird conversation he smiles and tells me to let my boyfriend know not to speed in his town and he lets us go with no further ado. So you don't need cleavage to get out of a ticket! Hooray for small and perky!! (It wasn't as creepy as it could have been, the cop was attractive in a shaved head overly muscular kinda way, sooo not my type. but at least he wasn't beer-gut redneck cop) -------------------- http://www.etsy.com/shop/crinolinecreations Handmade accessories for the SuperCute!

Knorl! thanks for the links my friend. Maybe I'll just stock up on sports bras and make things alot simpler LOL I wish I could go braless all the time honestly. I really hate the way bras feel (probably cuz i'm getting the wrong size) and would prefer to let the girls go free. But the whole cold/nipple pokeage thing is pretty embarassing to me. i'm shy!! Besides, my gut is usually toned down by a good padded bra! HAHAHAH!

The line I usually get is "well if it makes them feel better about their bodies I think it's a good thing". To me the fact that women feel the need to put a foreign object in their breasts to make them feel adequate is a sad statement on society and not something we should accept as normal. I couldn't have said it better myself!!! It IS incredibly sad, I think, that so many people think it's acceptable. Did nature make a mistake that man can somehow "correct?" I get a little freaked sometimes when I think of future generations. We have all sorts of implants for all sorts of body parts--breasts, chins, calves, pecs, etc., and all sorts of cosmetic procedure that didn't even exist years ago. What will everyone look like 50 years from now? Will it be freakish or some sort of fetish to be a person who's "all natural?" Will we eventually go to a body store, pick out a manufactured, "perfect" body, and just have our brain implanted in it? <shivers> |

i've never been professionally fitted either kon. i just stick with what seems to fit and does the job (titties + bra = enough for me). they're not big enough to need a whole ton of support, so i mainly wear them for appearances sake and for my own comfort because i hate going without. starship gave great advice. if you go someplace like victorias secret.. i think they cut their bras for bigger breasted women, so you may run a bit small to their standards, which wouldnt be an accurate size for you. i would try an independent boutique, or even have your best girlfriend help you. here is a good website with information if you want to try to diy: finding your size

hey konphusion...Ive never been measured professionally either. I just imagine some snooty assistant eyeing me up as though I had no need to be there. I'm usually in too much of a rush to bother trying on aswel. Unfortunately this means quite a few bras laying redundantly at the back of my drawer. On the other hand being smaller chested there isn't too much scope for mistake. Plus Ive found that all bras seem to come up different sizes which makes things a hell of a lot harder. Anyway...I know from friends that you don't have to be topless or anything. You just wear your bra or one of my friends just wears her tshirt. Ive heard that a lot of places are inaccurate too. A woman on TV who is a 34b went to different places and got told she was 36a/34c/32d/38b and so on

I have a question ladies... I've been lurking around this thread for quite some time cuz i really didnt think i had anything to contribute. I THINK i'm about a 36B right now. Pretty sure i was a 38 a few months ago while taking birth control. ANYWAY... I've never been professionally fitted for a bra and it seems like my gues-stimation method is leaving me with bras that either don't fit properly under my breasts or if they do fit properly around/against my ribcage, I'm usually left with space between the padded cups (AHAH) and my actual boobs!
I guess my question is, have any of you ever been fitted professionally and if so how do they do it?? Do you have to be braless and topless for that? I'm kinda shy LOL -------------------- Faith is hoping for and believing in things you cannot see!

So true Knorl, amen!
I guess I felt the need to apologize for that post because every time I have a conversation with people about implants I always get told that I am too hostile or judgmental. The line I usually get is "well if it makes them feel better about their bodies I think it's a good thing". To me the fact that women feel the need to put a foreign object in their breasts to make them feel adequate is a sad statement on society and not something we should accept as normal. I've also been told I'm bitter about it because I have small breasts :/ Idiots. It's always guys, or girls with bigger breasts that defend implants it seems in my experience. I relation to what you said about no one being perfect: I've been fooling around with this new guy, who I think I posted a while back about because I was worried about him being a "breast man". He's been nothing but cool and even said that in his experience the so-called 'prettier the outside the uglier the inside' and then went on to say not that I wasn't pretty but I'm not the typical girl you see on a magazine, and that's why he likes me But yeah, I was super nervous when I hooked up with him because he's gorgeous and so my type and I became really insecure about myself. When we fooled around together the first time I realized that his penis is definitely on the smaller side and I truly don't care about penis size but it made me feel better because NO ONE IS PERFECT! He's so confident and good in bed that I've been inspired by him to not give a fuck, and the sex has been AMAZING!!!! We've both acknowledged that it's been the best ever for both of us To quote an older, wiser friend that was giving me some advice: "it's not about parts and size, it's about passion". |

lilmiss: i think it's hostile due to the frustration women feel over our body image equaling our self worth. what i'm most concerned about is how many women in this thread (myself included) make mention of the relationship between men and our breasts. men dont have relationships with our breasts, they have relationships with our whole beings. no man is perfect and no woman is perfect. meaning, i'm sure there are quirks and imperfections in men that they obsess over as well. maybe they've got man tits. maybe they're a little flabby. maybe their dick is a bit round. maybe they've got musty balls. you know.. i think we need to put less energy into justifying our bodies and validating our sexual appeal.. and put more energy into who we are as individuals and what we bring to the table, as people.
think of the most attractive person you know, is it merely physical? or does their character/intellect/talent make them more appealing? i think the objective should be to stop worrying about our bodies, and to stop concerning ourselves with whether or not our men are breast men, leg men, butt men. they're men. we're women. if being sexy is important, we should work more toward embracing our sexuality than trying to conform our bodies to the standard ideal. you know, because sex is so much more than two shallow bodies coming together. i'm just saying... if we want to truly be liberated women, i believe we need to let go of some of the expectations we feel that men find are most physically attractive about us. any thoughts? -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

Wow! It's been so busy since I've last been here....
Greenbean I feel you! It's not even the size that really bugs me, I would be happy with two A cups. It's the fact that they don't match and that they're more pointy then round...grrrr......oh well, I am determined to get over it and not let it bug me anymore. I just saw this post from a random person on a message board that I thought kinda put things into perspective; "fake tits are fucking gross. You have to deal with what you have, even if it's not what you imagine "most" men like. All having fake tits does is secure your fate of winding up with a shallow dick who dates girls for the size of their titties. I pity you, fake tittied broads." Sorry, it's a little hostile |

omigosh Kiera Knightley does NOT need a boob job. jeesh.
Came across this article the other day: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...001&sc=1000 Kinda sad how men are getting chest insecurities too (note that its mostly gay men). The older I get the more I think small boobs are hot. A lot of my female friends and family members have big breasts, and I used to be jealous, but honestly, I'm not anymore. I just wish mine were both A cups, rather than one A cup and one barely A. I kinda feel like a mother of twins, where one twin is smart and exuberant and the other is runtish and slow, ..and I can't help but hold contempt for the slow one. Aarg! I'm a bad mother! -------------------- I thank God I was raised Catholic, so sex will always be dirty.--John Waters

wow, she's a stunner!
I love seeing people in the celeb world with body types I can relate to. Unfortunately it's usually ruined by comments from people around me. I remember discussing Keira Knightly with a friend and her saying she didn't understand why someone with that much money hadn't got a boob job yet. As though it was some mandatory operation for anyone with small breasts! I think the ones who don't sucuumb have way more balls and deserve more respect and admiration than all of those weak silicone-filled bimbos. I think shows like Frasier etc want to portray more realistic characters which is why the women aren't the stereotypical hollywood type- and that's how it should be! The women who we get thrust in our face as role models don't vary enough. There should be women with different shapes/sizes/colours/quirks in the media |

Have any of you noticed how both frasier and will & grace have average looking, quirky, liberated women as their main characters? I think that's pretty cool. I've often felt the reason for this is due to the fact that the show topics are a bit more sophisticated than the norm, which targets a different audience: an audience of thinking individuals. This observation further solidifies my idea that in the thinking world, typical and overt sex appeal really are more offensive than anything else.

Youngsters' trip to see lambs the best baa none
6:00pm Tuesday 19th March 2013 in News
CHILDREN were thrilled to see lambs being born at the Earth Trust's lambing weekend.
Among those who visited the trust's farm in Little Wittenham, near Didcot, on Saturday were Grove mum-of-two Catherine Hopkins with her sons Lewis, two, and Owen, five.
The 36-year-old said: "It is just a little bit different.
"It is nice for the kids to come and see lambs being born."
Clare Williams, a student at London's Royal Veterinary College, is on a placement at the farm for three weeks.
The Abingdon 19-year-old said: "It was an open day and I think everyone enjoyed it.
"Being here I get a different perspective. It is more practical as opposed to learning it from a book."
There were also tractor and trailer rides, bale climbing and children's craft activities to enjoy during the weekend.

WINSTED >> A former state champion, former Berkshire League champions and recent graduates of Gilbert High School donned their blue and yellow on the court again this year, helping raise money for the same program they once played for under banners of pride.
Yellowjackets from teams dating back to the mid-1990s strapped on their Nikes and Reeboks, and participated in the third annual Gilbert School Alumni Basketball game — a recent tradition focused on helping the boys basketball program.
Proceeds from the game went to the current Yellowjackets' team.
Alumni from past years were invited, but the teams were separated into yellow and blue squads.
The DJ blared uptempo music while the ten ran the court, all for the current program.
The alumni game is a Thanksgiving weekend tradition and signals a tip-off to the boys basketball season, which opens Dec. 12 against Thomaston.
That day, the freshman boys team starts the season off at 3:45 p.m., followed by junior varsity at 5:30 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m.

From the very beginning of St. John's Gospel, it is made clear that Jesus' life was to testify to the Truth. Jesus said, "For this was I born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the Truth." As Christians, who dare to call ourselves followers of Christ the King, we are called to imitate and follow Him the Way, the Truth and the Light! We all seem to have a fear of the dark. This must have been a great realization of the Lord for the first words of creation in the Book of Genesis are "Let there be light." Life is like a windswept tightrope. We need to do our best be open to the truth and light of others and work with God's grace or it is all over! As we come to the end of a Church Year, we are challenged in the final liturgical week to use part of the time of these seven days to serve the Lord and His Kingdom not as slaves but as people in love with Jesus, Our King. Don't confuse what can't be done with what hasn't been done and let the truth and light of grace and possible talent be used in God's Name.
What better way to finish this 11th month of the year and to begin a new Church Year with the First Sunday of Advent next week then with opening our minds and hearts to the positive light of faith. This is a time to prepare to let an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord to happen within us. Negativity has enormous power and this is the year to be positive in the light and love of Jesus Christ. Psychologists state that it takes twenty compliments to offset one negative criticism. It is shown that we best remember even negative minor happenings better then positive ones. We can remember poor grades in math in high school geometry better than the positive compliments of yesterday! Negativity even about the future can equally impact us. We can dread things that may never happen. Psychologists say that over ninety percent of what we worry about never happens. So why waste energy on the windswept tightrope of fear? We can choose our focus and it can make all the difference in the world but it is our choice to use, live and allow the light and truth of Jesus to guide us. Christ is to be our King and Leader, not just in word but in the choices for our actions.
The door of faith is always open for us from the time of our baptism through to our own commitment at Confirmation. Each Easter, as we renew our baptismal promises we are challenged in that year to follow Jesus; the Way, the Truth and the Light. It is not by coincidence that a sinning person will stop praying and living by faith and a praying faith person will stop sinning!
None of us are perfect but all of us contain some of the light and truth of the Lord. Perhaps we need to lower our expectations, chill out, relax, go for a walk and allow the light of the Lord to enter in! Find room for faith and hope and fan the flames of these two by making choices and living the light, love and truth of the Lord each day this final week of the Church Year.

Players and staff secured £5 million in bonuses for promotion
9:09am Friday 8th March 2013 in News
SAINTS' elevation to the cash-rich Premier League is reflected in the latest financial figures released by the club.
The club made a net profit of just under £1m in their first six months back in the top flight, while revenue, excluding player trading, increased to £33.1m, up from £11.6m.
Saints' shareholder, late owner Markus Liebherr and subsequently his estate, invested £38m since taking over the club in 2009, with that money now having been converted into equity.
Player wages accounted for 59 per cent of turnover in the first six months of the Premier League, down from 102 per cent in the 2011/12 season.
Executive chairman Nicola Cortese paid out over £5m in player and staff bonuses on promotion to the Premier League.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Great all round - good fun and very safety conscious.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Bring padded cycle pants plus a gel saddle pad - even though a gel sadal was provided.
Do you have anything else to add?
Our first night's hotel was pretty awful. Right on the mail road, very stuffy and incredibly noisy. A new venue should be sought. Aside from that, enjoy the company, enjoy the scenery and enjoy a delightful cycling experience.

When the Moorish King of Granada decided he deserved an outstanding palace he sent his best architects to Malaga to copy the Moorish Alcazaba…. that is how the Alhambra was born!!!
Most of our clients stopping in Malaga during a cruise will call me so to go and visit Granada and the Alhambra…. Granada is worth the bother of the almost 2 hours drive each way but…. Malaga is a GEM
And Malaga not only is the city that houses this wonderful Moorish Alcazaba and gardens but it is also the city where top Spanish painter Pablo Picasso was born. You may enjoy reading an article today on the New York times with some information on Picasso, the Picasso Museums in the city (two… its birthplace house-museum and the family museum), tapas places offering great deals and other wonders of the city.
One of the not to be missed if visiting Malaga is the wonderful Doll House Museum. It is located at Alamos Street number 32. This museum is a miniature dolls house museum. This private collection comprises over fifty hand-made, unique models, most of which date back to the 19th century. Particularly outstanding is the 19th century Andalusian collection, as well as dolls from the middle of the century and a model freight train. The houses on display run from the oldest exhibit, an 1850 Majorcan house, to a 1970 German dolls house.


text: New smartphone suffers from chronic power issues.. Theoretically, USB-charged phones are capable of negotiating the highest amount of power to charge when the charger is smart enough to ask. Such a charger could exceed the lousy 500 mA USB spec. The question is, how do I go about finding one? In shopping around, there are some microUSB chargers that claim to be "rapid chargers", or "smart chargers", but this could just be misleading marketing because they never seem to give details stating why it is supposedly fast. Any EE experts know a specific no-B.S. model they can recommend? Or perhaps the right keyword to search on to find these chargers? pulse charging: (BTW- I'm not interested in conserving battery power.. I need GSM and wifi to run constantly) |

Anyway - I wasn't able to fetch the page you wanted. Not really sure what happened, but I've told my people and they're going to work on it. They're really good at working on stuff like this, so I'm sure it won't be long before I'm back in tip-top shape.

I remember the day that a Vinturi was given to me. It was the answer to decanting. No longer did we have to wait half an hour before the wine was drinkable. All I had to do was pour the wine through this sleek-looking aerator and…Voila! The wine was ready. I am always a fan of cool wine gimmicks and I think it is neat to see people get creative with wine. Some gimmicks work and others are just…well gimmicky.
About 7 years ago, my first Vinturi was stolen from the floor of the restaurant the first week I had it out. I was going to try it with some of my regulars to see if the Vinturi really worked. I guess the word was out, that sleek plastic rocket capsule-looking aerator was a hot commodity. I remember trying it with an Argentinian Malbec and it seemed to soften the wine. I also remember trying it with a Barbaresco and noticed that the tannins were much more milder. What I didn't do was try the wines side by side with the Vinturi, a decanter and straight from the bottle.
A few years ago, my mom thought that it would be a nice gift for my birthday and bought me a Vinturi along with a subscription to a wine club. (Very cool gift!) However, by this time I've started to become more skeptical about the Vinturi. I have eyed it as it sits on my wine cabinet staring right back at me. I can hear it say, "give me a chance Maurice, try me out." I read an article not too long ago about Mike Madrigal of Bar Boulud and several other New York sommeliers put it to the challenge. So I thought why not do the same thing.
I turned to my San Diego based tasting group, made up of some of the top wine professionals in the county, to get this challenge under way. The way it works is all tastings are blind. I pour one bottle of wine into three glasses.
- One glass will have wine from that bottle which has been decanted 1/2 hour before tasting.
- Another glass will the same wine poured into directly from the bottle just before tasting.
- And the third glass will have the wine poured through the Vinturi just before tasting.
The judges will taste the wines and rate them.
- Aromas: which glass of wine is more aromatic? Does one show more fruit aromas? Does one show more floral or earth aromas?
- Palate: Which glass has more fruit on the palate?
- Alcohol: Does the alcohol intensity vary from glass to glass?
- Tannin: Does the tannin level vary from glass to glass?
- Acidity: Does the acidity vary from glass to glass?
- Finish: Does the finish vary from glass to glass?
- Finale: Which glass did the judge prefer?
The Vinturi Challenge really is to see what effect the Vinturi, the decanter and the bottle have on wine. There is no doubt about it, the wines will taste differently. My hypothesis is that although the wines might vary from glass to glass so will the judges choices for the best wine. Different styles of wine will react in different ways. In the end it will come to the person's preference. What I hope to do is to give the reader a better understanding of which wines will benefit from the Vinturi based on the readers preference of wine style. I believe some people might like more fruity wines while others will care for the higher acidic wines. The Vinturi might change a wine and either improve it or ruin it for your particular taste.
So let's get started! The Vinturi Challenge is officially under way!
The first wine we through into the Challenge was a younger Barolo.
Villadoria 2007 Barolo
Personal taste really comes into play. This is a younger Barolo made a bit more approachable in anew world style. It is not an intense tannic young Barolo, but fairly fleshy and ready to drink.
- Two judges preferred it straight from the bottle. The aromas were intact and the tannins were what one would expect from a younger Barolo. Straight from the bottle the consensus was that it was even more expressive with nuances of flowers and fruit.
- Only one judge preferred the Vinturi. They said it was more powerful. However, the other judges agreed that it was lacking aromas and that what seemed more powerful was really a wine closed off of fruit. The tannins were softer, but something was lost.
- Three judges preferred from the decanter. The wine was more aromatic and softer on the palate. The fruit was intact and floral aromas along with earthy aromas carried to the palate. the tannins were present but smooth.
All in all, the wine was showing excellently from both the bottle and decanter. So if you want more tannin and get a Barolo like character, drink this new world style Barolo from the bottle. If you prefer the softer style without losing the fantastic aromas and nuances that Barolo has use the Decanter. Mauricescru prefers the Decanter.

I can't post all their pics, but if you click on any of the images you'll get to my Flickr account where you can see them all. FYI, Kirsten is an ice cream cone and Cam is a monster.

From the Customer Retention NOW! Newsletter – May 2013
If you've ever contemplated a strategy for increasing email open rates, you've probably asked yourself that question. Or maybe you asked a consultant, marketing expert, or some other resource.
I'll bet you didn't get the answer you were hoping for. Or you may have gotten several different answers. There are so many variables to consider, any day of the week might be regarded as the ideal emailing day for your organization to achieve the best response. But even then, the day won't always be consistent.
The email response rate is dependent upon a lot more than just the delivery day. The topics covered, the subject line, the sender address, the reputation you have in the marketplace, the relevance of previous messages you may have sent, the call to action, and a score of other attributes and circumstances all contribute. You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure it all out.
In my opinion, that's an unproductive use of time – at least for smaller organizations that do not have marketing analysts on staff. At my company, and for our B2B newsletter customers, we try to use a little common sense, put together the best messages we can, and then just go for it.
For many small and medium-sized businesses, attempting to dial in the delivery more precisely is akin to crystal ball gazing (not recommended as a best practice).
Identifying the Best Day
I can't share a magical formula that would tell you to send all your emails on Tuesdays. But I do happen to know the best day to send an email that has the greatest chance of positive outcome. It is the day the recipient has a need or interest that is satisfied by your content.
"Gee thanks," you might be saying, "That's no help. How will we know when a contact has a need or interest?"
Unless prospects self-proclaim their interest, there isn't a way to be positive of the optimum contact times. But if you are paying attention and have thought ahead, your contacts leave some breadcrumb-like clues. Acting upon those clues can improve your odds.
Using What You Know
Has a prospect opened all the newsletters you sent over the last six months? Have they clicked through to landing pages, downloaded white papers, viewed demos or videos? Did they visit the pricing page of your web site? These are all indications that they are more engaged with your brand than the rest of your contacts that did not do these things.
Your next email to these targeted individuals might be some more in-depth material based on the topics in which they have showed interest. Calls to action in these targeted messages should encourage scheduling a personalized demonstration or some other action that generally occurs before a successful sale for your company is consummated. These emails that are delivered during a period of high interest may be the most productive you can send.
Use your best guess about when to send out bulk emails like newsletters. Try some different days and times to see if you notice a difference in open rates. This may help to achieve your brand awareness objectives. But by all means, build in the mechanisms that allow you to track and monitor actions of the contacts on your list. Spending more of your time following up with prospects already engaged with your brand has a better chance of producing results than simply blasting the same messages to everyone at the same time – regardless of the day you do it.

A two-year process has begun that will ultimately see a comprehensive plan developed that addresses the future of Clinton and its needs in the areas of land use, transportation, infrastructure and quality of life, so the city might have the blueprint to thrive through 2030 and beyond.
The Clinton 2030 Comprehensive Plan will serve as a road map providing guidance on where and how a community will grow and change over a given period of time, Clinton-Sampson planning director Mary Rose said. This plan will focus on the period of 2013-2030.
"I am very excited about this opportunity for our community," Rose said. "The primary purpose of a comprehensive plan is to provide long term guidance to citizens, property owners and decision-makers on land use and other community issues such as where future development and re-development should occur."
She gave a brief outline and timeline for the plan during a recent meeting with some of those decision-makers — Clinton City Council. The plan is in the infant stages of its development, and will be rolled out to the public at the upcoming district meetings and much more over the course of the next couple years.
"This is a two-year process that we would be undertaking."
The long-range plan will fill a void. While the city has done well to make improvements and strides in infrastructure revitalization, it has done so with no real laid-out plan.
"The comprehensive planning process will invite community input and discussion which will also address and bring to light other key community issues, concerns and ideas for improvements for the future of Clinton," said Rose. "Our community has done well for many years without a true long-range plan, however it is recognized that broader consideration, analysis and community input will offer the city and its decision-makers more efficient and effective guidance for decisions which will be made for our community in the future."
Key areas and issues for study and consideration will involve land use, transportation, services, housing, infrastructure and quality of life.
An initial meeting was held last month involving a group of community partners, including representatives with Clinton City Schools, the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce, the NAACP in Clinton/Sampson County, Sampson Community College, Sampson Regional Medical Center and Sampson County government.
"Clinton 2030 was introduced to the group at that meeting. (They) expressed positive input and support for the plan," said Rose. "As the plan develops, there will be more opportunities for community partners and citizens to provide input and become involved in the plans for Clinton 2030."
That will include district meetings, to be held at 7 p.m. on selected nights through February and March.
Meetings will begin on Feb. 21 in District 1, at Beaman Street Fire Station, continuing on Feb. 28 in District 4, at the Bellamy Recreation Center; on March 12 in District 2, at the Beaman Street Fire Station; March 14 in District 5, at the Sampson Center; and wrapping up on March 21 with District 3, to be held in the City Hall Auditorium.
"These meetings will be used to briefly discuss Clinton 2030 with citizens and inform them of plans for additional opportunities for them to become involved in the process through focus groups and area committees," said Rose.
"We'll have a similar, shorter version of this presentation at our district meetings so we can start introducing it to our citizens," city manager John Connet added.
There are a number of other plans that will also act to complement, and assist, the Clinton 2030 Comprehensive Plan, including ongoing plans such as the Clinton Pedestrian Plan, the Clinton Main Street Resource Team Report, the Sampson County Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the Clinton Bicycle Plan.
Council voted to move forward with the Bicycle Plan last week, having previously received a N.C. Department of Transportation Bicycle Grant to develop bicycle routes through the city.
The Planning Department subsequently requested proposals, recommended the hiring of Benchmark Consulting to complete the work. Connet recommended the city enter into a contract with Benchmark to complete the Bicycle Master Plan, a $27,500 project that will consist of a $22,500 grant and $5,000 in city funds. The Council approved.
2030 plan timeline
Rose said over the next month, through February, the city is expected to discuss branding. In February and March, at the district meetings, staff will introduce the public to Clinton 2030, before bringing a budget proposal for the plan to the City Council in March or April.
Analysis by staff and a consultant team will be done from May to August, with a community vision and goal setting (through which key issues will be identified) developed through focus groups from September 2013 to March 2014.
"This would be the portion of the process where the citizens would become more involved," said Rose.
The Clinton 2030 Comprehensive Plan will be drafted between April-August 2014. It is hoped that the plan will be adopted and the implementation process can begin at the end of 2014.
"During the implementation process staff will develop the focus area committees and work with them to develop plans and strategies and tasks to move the implementation of this plan forward for our future," said Rose.
Connet said Rose and her staff have done a good job over the past couple months in developing a schedule for the development of the plan. It will be a fluid process, the city manager said, with updates given to Council along the way.
"We will get started, but we will also be bringing back information as we go through the budget process about cost," said Connet. "We'll do a lot of the groundwork and really hit the ground running hard late spring and early summer."
