Château Mouton Rothschild is a wine estate located in the village of Pauillac in theMédoc, 50 km (30 mi) north-west of the city of Bordeaux, France. Its red wine of the same name is regarded as one of the world's greatest clarets. Originally known as Château Brane-Mouton it was renamed by Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 to Château Mouton Rothschild. It was the first estate to begin complete château bottling of the harvest.
The branch of the Rothschild family owning Mouton Rothschild are members of the Primum Familiae Vini.
Château Mouton Rothschild has its vineyards on the slopes leading down to the Gironde Estuary, in the Bordeaux region, mainly producing grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Today, Château Mouton Rothschild has 203 acres (0.8 km2) of grape vines made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Merlot (11%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (2%). Their wine is fermented in oak vats (they are one of the last châteaux in the Médoc to use them) and then matured in new oak casks. It is also frequently confused with the widely distributed generic Bordeaux Mouton Cadet.
Baron Philippe de Rothschild came up with the idea of having each year's label designed by a famous artist of the day. In 1946, this became a permanent and significant aspect of the Mouton image with labels created by some of the world's great painters and sculptors. The only exception to date is the unusual gold-enamel bottle for 2000.
Artists such as Salvador Dalí, Francis Bacon, Picasso and Miró designed labels for bottles of Mouton Rothschild.
To celebrate the hundredth birthday of the acquisition of Château Mouton, the portrait of Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild appeared on the 1953 label. In 1977, Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother visited the château and a special label was designed to commemorate the visit.
Twice in the history of their special labels, there have been two used for the same year. The first occurred in 1978 when Montrealartist Jean-Paul Riopelle submitted two designs. Baron Philippe de Rothschild liked them equally so he split the production run and used both designs. The 1993 Mouton label, a pencil drawing of a nude reclining nymphet by the French painter Balthus was rejected for use in the United States by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. As such, for the U.S. market the label was made with a blank space where the image should have been and both versions are sought after by collectors. The popularity of the label images results in auction prices for older and more collectible years being far out of sync with the other first growths, whose labels do not change year to year.
Mouton Rothschild
Still Wine
92-94 Neal Martin
The Grand Vin is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the latter close to exceptional according to Philippe Dhalluin. It has less new oak (85%) because the new wooden vats impart their own raw woody character. It has a well-defined, classic bouquet that you might describe as "no frills". It does not have the usual Mouton flamboyance although that is not necessarily a bad thing. The palate is well balanced with clean and mineral-rich black fruit and a pleasant salty character towards the finish. Classic in style, this is a very fine Mouton with real panache. Tasted April 2014.
91-93 Robert Parker
The 2013 Mouton Rothschild is the best of the Medoc first-growths in this vintage. It was the smallest crop at Mouton since 1969, even smaller than their 1991. Only 45% of the crop made it into the final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. One of the few 2013s to reveal serious depth, it displays a dense saturated ruby/purple color along with spicy creme de cassis, licorice and forest floor characteristics. Elegant, medium-bodied and more concentrated than most of its peers, it even reveals some tannins, suggesting 2-5 years of bottle age may be needed. It should last for 15-20 years. Kudos to administrator Philippe Dhalluin.

Trading carrots for chocolate pudding since 2012.
Harken back to the school days of youth. You were too confused by algebra, too bored by social studies and too creeped out by your four-eyed biology teacher who always seemed to stare in your direction too long.

That's what Fifth Period Lunch is all about.
We're just a group of young-at-heart men and women blogging about whatever pops into our mind. Most importantly, we're here to save you from the monotony of the real world. We know you're confused by TPS reports, bored with meetings and creeped out by the Dilbert look-alike who always seems to be too close when he talks to you.
This blog is dedicated to the smorgasbord of life. Some posts will be comical, some will be serious, some will be downright awful. Hey, it's tough to be entertaining day in and day out.
Welcome to Fifth Period Lunch. What's in the brown paper bag today?

After Sheila my only solace remained in the Yorkshire Moors. In the desolate hour before the dawn had any potential, I followed my grief.
On our stone I wept until she appeared in that blue dress, the one I bought her in the marketplace, the one that made me wish I might never see the sky again.
"You left me alone, Sheila."
"It was for the best, my love. Next time will be easier."
Now I'm too frail to find her in that hour and my own mind is making its way to a different world.
But when I remember that the sky has a colour, I go to the market and buy a dress.

Now that Canada's 150th birthday celebrations have kicked off, I am sure you are wondering: what was going on in Vancouver in 1867?
The short answer: not much. But something.
By 1867, Burrard Inlet had been occupied by a variety of indigenous peoples (Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish) for millennia. It was, in the words of historical geographer Cole Harris, a "native place." In what is now...
I have used this photograph (Glenbow Archives ND6742) several times over the years in different history textbooks I have written to illustrate the destitution in Western Canada during the Dirty Thirties. It shows the Fehrs, a Mennonite family from the Saskatoon area, stranded in Edmonton in June 1934. It is a heart-breaking image depicting...
Tilikum, the most infamous orca in the world, has died.
In 2010 Tilikum was participating in a whale show at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, when he pulled a trainer, Dawn Brancheau, into the tank and held her under the water until she drowned. That incident was highlighted in the documentary film Blackfish which alleged...
New Year's Day, the beach at Duck Bay on Savary Island, B.C.
It is just gone noon and no one else is about. The footprints belong to the members of our small party; the rising tide will soon wash them away. The mountain ranges of Vancouver Island are visible in the distance.
The annual Boxing Day walk this year was abbreviated due to the weather here in Vancouver. This is Spanish Banks at approximately 11 a.m. We began with good intentions but ended with frozen extremities. (No jokes about wimpy Vancouverites, please.) Since the fish and chip stand in the distance was closed, we sought warm beverages elsewhere. At least we tried.
Happy New Year to all!

Most diatoms are free-living, planktonic species, but some live in extensive colonies or linked into tiny chains, like many members of the genus Odontella. These organisms frequently feature long spines on their frustules and may stay connected to one another after cell division via a crossing of the spines. Other items that may be exhibited on diatom frustules include intricate patterns composed of ridges, round perforations, linear markings, ribs, and vertical canals. The beauty of diatom designs has earned them the well-deserved title "jewels of the sea."

Safety Tips
Harbour Entrance
Yarmouth is shared by yachtsmen, fishermen and ferry operators. At times the entrance can become very busy and special vigilance is required when navigating in this area. Visitors are particularly requested to give the Wightlink ferry a wide berth as it enters and leaves the harbour.
When arriving or departing Yarmouth from/to the East please pass at least 50 metres clear of the pier head to avoid fishing lines.
Strong tides flow through Yarmouth, particularly on the last of the ebb. Take extra care when manoeuvring in the harbour and into berths where cross tides may occur.
If you require assistance when berthing or leaving a berth, please call the Berthing Master on VHF CH 68 who will be pleased to assist.

Always carry a set of oars
Using an outboard? Check your fuel!
Carry a VHF/mobile phone
Beware other harbour users wash
Do not overload the tender
Be aware of weather and tidal conditions
Make children aware of this advice
Wear a kill cord

ETA: Never mind on the Maine one; I just clicked on it and got it. However, based on Merrimack's info, I have to take Miami off the completed list because it looks like their series with Providence is moving.
ETA^2: Looks like we know where that Miami/Providence series went, so they'll be back on the completed list.

RPI's schedule came in, as well as more on UNH's non-con. Check respective threads for source data.
I'm not a member of eLynah; perhaps someone could help check on there who gets the first game in the Colgate series? I'm 97% sure it'll be 25-26 January, and that's the only thing left.
Not really new for this year, but good for the future: The "all four", as I'm calling it on the spreadsheet, is going to be the final week for both the WCHA AND the NCHC. https://gazette.com/colorado-college-...rticle/1604362

Northeastern OOC games confirmed yesterday by Coach Madigan:

Coach says the Hockey East schedule is still being finalized for NU.
One Hockey East game to add to that, Uconn at NU on 11/9.
The rest of the conference schedule hasnt been finalized yet. It sounds like the way this is happening is Hockey East just sent everyone back roughly the same schedule as last season and left the schools to fend for themselves moving games into the new gaps at the end of the season, but they're also holding veto power over schedules and deciding whether certain games being moved gives teams too much of an advantage (having weekends where they only play on Saturday but their opponent played somebody else Friday for example) so anything already released that includes HEA should be taken with a grain of salt, as any other game movements could suddenly cause problems with the games that have already been "set".

Based on info from the Round Table, I assume that CHC is going to go to CCT after going to SLU, so I'll stick that in there.
You have Maine playing BC five times. Pretty sure two of those will be vs. BU.

Solar Water Heater Tank - Solar Storage Tanks
SolStor Solar Water Tanks are North Americas only complete solar water tanks and are UL and CSA certified. Unlike other tank manufacturers SolStor tanks come complete with two large internal heat exchangers and a back up 4.5 Kw electric element ALL In One Tank!. This tank is suitable for all forms of solar heating systems including solar hot water heaters, solar home heating, solar pools and hot tubs! With this tank you can easily expand your solar heating system at any time without new equipment!
Solar water tanks are used in solar heating packages to act as buffer tanks.When the sun is shinning, the water will be heated in the solar storage tank for later use, most commonly in the evening. Most solar water tanks contain a heat exchanger to separate the potable water from the solar heating solution (Water/Glycol), and have a great insulation value that can retain the heat for day. The SolStor tank has a rated heat loss of less than .8 degrees F/ Hour!
There are 3 kinds of solar water tank systems used in North America:
- Solar Pre-Heat Tank
- Solar Combo Electric Tank
- Solar Dual Heat Exchanger Tank
SolarStor Water tanks are North America's Only 3-In-one solar water tanks.
3- In-One Solar Tank
Solar Pre Heat with existing heater
Solar Heater with electric back up
Solar Water with 2nd Heating zone
|Pre-Heat water for use with existing water heater
|Replaces existing tank comes with 4.5 Kw back up
|Top Heat Exchanger can be used for 2nd home heating loop
SolarStor tanks can offer 3 types of Heating configuration for now or Future
Sizing a Solar Water Tank
When sizing a solar water tank you need to consider two important variables. First, how much draw is used per person in the house? An average house hold will consume 20-30 gallons per person. This includes shower bath water, dishes, and laundry. So a family of two will normally require a 40 gallon storage tank as a minimum. Secondly, for each gallon of hot water you need the same number of square feet of collector area. It is very important that you don't exceed this number or you will find that in peak summer months your solar system may reach extreme temperatures. It is better to have a system that is under powered than over powered. Our TZ58/1800-30R solar evacuated tubes have a gross area of 40 ft2. Also, for each collector you will need 40 gallons of storage.
Solar Expansion Tanks- Another type of solar storage tank that is needed and often overlooked is an expansion tank found on the closed loop solar side of the solar heating system. All closed loop solar heating systems must have an expansion tank. Sizing of the expansion tank is very important. Northern Lights Solar Solutions has Italian manufactured Varem Solar Expansion tanks. These are the only tanks that are manufactured specifically for solar heating applications and can withstand higher temperatures than other hydronic style expansion tanks.Learn more on solar expansion tanks by clicking link.

Solar Hot Water Tank with a External Heat Exchanger
The SolarStor Series of solar tanks are an excellent choice for most solar applications. However, for those on a tight budget, there is a very affordable way to create a solar storage tank using either a new or used electric hot water tank and an external heat exchanger. Electric tanks are perfect for a solar conversion as they have all the ports you will need along with existing safety features such as a thermal pressure release valve and a build in drain valve. A average hot water tank can be purchased for $300-$500 and converted in minutes for under $10 in parts plus an external heat exchanger. To convert a hot water tank we simply remove the two heater elements which are threaded into the tank (1" thread). The top element port will become the supply for the hot water and the bottom heater element will become the draw for the colder water from the bottom portion of the tank.
In smaller systems you can allow thermalsiphon to move the water from the bottom of the tank to the top portion. Thermosiphon is the natural tendency of hot water to rise as it weighs less. As the heat exchanger heats up the potable water, the hot water will rise to the top port and draw in the colder water from the bottom port. On larger systems especially commercial, a secondary pump can be used on the storage side to circulate the water in the tank.
Below are 4 easy steps to covert an electric hot water tank. In this example we have used a heat exchanger as the winter temperatures get very cold and a 50%/50% water and glycol mixture was used in the collectors. However, if you are in a milder climate without hard freezing, water can be used and you can avoid using a heat exchanger, connecting directly to the water tank.

birthday dinners & cedar creek
After having stared at giant heads and scary vehicles, it was time to wet our whistles. So we met our friends Trish and Carl and their kids at Cedar Creek, one of our favourite watering holes in Houston. This place has some of the best burgers in the state (no lie), everything on tap, and a completely relaxed atmosphere. We don't visit this restaurant nearly enough -- which is truly embarrassing, because it's owned by a friend of ours.
Carl, in particular, likes the Frito Pies.
Carl loves him a Frito Pie. In fact, I can't think of Frito Pies without thinking of Carl.
I'm not sure if this is a good thing.
After dinner, the blistering heat had finally eased up, so we went outside and played with the golden light.
I love this picture, above: Alex smiling so sweetly, and J looking at her like she just fell out of a tree.
Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've made that exact same face.
For example, I made that face about 20 minutes later, when I saw this:
"Um, Alex, what's going on over there?"
"Uncle Carl is BABYSITTING!"
Then Alex and S decided to attack Marcus:
He survived.
I've mentioned before that Trish and Carl are like family to us, so it was especially great to spend the end of my birthday with them. Because whenever we're with them, there's always a whole lotta love.
Best. Birthday. Ever.

One of the finishing touches I like to add is table confetti I've made myself with papers which are no longer useful. I use my craft punches to create the upcycled confetti out of texts linked to the occasion or in colours that match the rest of the settings.
Here I'm sharing some ideas for table confetti for different occasion using various texts. These are just ideas, once you start there are so many possibilities to have fun with that have special meaning for you!
Upcycled Table Confetti
Using BooksThis is a great way to use pages from books which are old, tatty and unloved. I often pick up books in 'bargain boxes' at charity shops; the books have been read and fulfilled their purpose but now have pages missing, scribbles or stains. I punch around the marked pages to make the confetti. Link the theme of the occasion to the text you choose:
- birthdays - choose the guest of honour's favourite book
- Halloween - use a ghost story
- Valentine's day - a classic romantic novel (or a trashy one!)
|An old copy of Pride and Prejudice and a flower punch make lovely Valentine's Day confetti
Using MapsMaps and places can hold a lot of personal meaning. Again I look for ones which are tatty or even out of date. As you can see in the picture, this map has damage where it looks like it got wet. They are great for making confetti for:
- weddings - a place where the happy couple met or are going on honeymoon
- housewarmings - a map of the new area
- home coming - if a loved one has been traveling and you're celebrating their return use maps of where they've been
|A map of a special place and a heart punch make thoughtful wedding table confetti
Using Sheet MusicI often find old sheet music in charity shops and second hand centres that's been torn or the staples have come out so only half of it is left! This is great to use for upcycling purposes. Music can suit any occasion as songs are attached to many celebrations. Here are some ideas:
- Christmas - use carols punched into festive shapes
- anniversaries - try and find music played at the happy couple's wedding
- Christenings - hymns or nursery rhymes
|Christmas carol sheet music paired with snowflake and tree punches make festive confetti
Using MagazinesThis is a fun activity for children; there are so many colours and patterns to choose from! It's great for using up the free magazines and junk mail that get posted through the door too.
|Fun patterns and colours using magazines to make table confetti
So next time you're holding a special get together to mark an occasion get out the old papers and punches and create a thoughtful finishing touch!

Smart people are still studying the results from New Hampshire. I think it is important for me to state a few things about polls that I know are true. First, exit polls are highly accurate. Discrepancies in exit polls have pointed the United States to claim that elections in the Ukraine and elsewhere around the world have been fraudulent. Secondly, polling isn't simply walking up to somebody and asking them a few questions. Polling has become a sophisticated science. Over the last 20 years polling researchers have learned how to ask questions. Therefore, it is highly unusual for a poll to be off by 10 to 15 points. To use a surgery analogy, it is like me diagnosing a patient with a head injury when in fact they have a ruptured appendix!
The mainstream press has put out three scenarios to explain what happened in New Hampshire. The scenarios are somewhat based on the exit polls (which I find somewhat ironic). The first scenario that was thrown out for our consumption was the fact that Hillary Clinton showed real emotion and that connected with voters. This may, in fact, be true but most professional women that I know, despise (maybe despise is too harsh a word but you understand where I'm coming from) women that cry in public. The second scenario was that Hillary Clinton's performance in the debates was so overwhelming that many women change their mind based on the debates. I watched the debate. I thought her performance was good but not great. I thought that all of the candidates who debated had a good performance. Their performance was cautious. No one wanted to make a mistake. Their performance seemed to be the same as the last two or three debates. No surprises, in my book. So I find it interesting that some people would look at that debate and think that Hillary Clinton's performance was so much better than the other candidates. The third scenario is something called the Tom Bradley effect. Tom Bradley was the mayor of Los Angeles during the 1970s. He ran for governor of California and all the polling had him winning the race. Unfortunately, he ended up losing that race. Post election analysis showed that many of the white voters knew that it was politically correct to say that they would vote for a black man but when they got in the voting booth, they changed their minds. So, to translate this into the New Hampshire primary, many white women (I say women because it's clear that more women voted for Hillary Clinton then voted for Barack Obama) changed their minds because of Barack Obama's race and voted for Hillary Clinton. This brings up a couple of questions. Why didn't we see any of this in Iowa? The exit polling should have reflected this but it didn't.
No matter what you personally think about Barack Obama, one thing is clear, he has raised money, in huge sums, from every race color or creed in the United States. Once you put your money down, once you go to a rally, once you buy a bumper stick or you've become significantly invested in that campaign. Although racism still exists in this country, I'm not sure that the Tom Bradley effect would account for such a large swing in votes.
I would like to remind everybody that we're talking about a swing of 13 to 15 percentage points. Roughly about 13 to 15,000 people (approximately 210,000 people voted in the Democratic primary). The other scenario, that has popped up in the last day or two is the fact that many of the polls showed a large number of undecided voters and that's where the difference may lie.
Just for a second, let me throw this out - preliminary reports indicate that there is a discrepancy between the hand counts and the machine counted areas. Here are two websites (Brad Blog and Check the Votes) that have more information. All I'm saying is I don't know.
Update: Dennis Kucinich as just asked for a recount of the vote. From Kucinich's press release: Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the most outspoken advocate in the Presidential field and in Congress for election integrity, paper-ballot elections, and campaign finance reform, has sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a recount of Tuesday's election because of "unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots."

Developing a Perfect home at a discount and How to Do It
Avoid individuals subdivisions and choose a non-urban region involving terrain in the nation in order to avoid nearly all limits. Subdivisions get needs regarding issues you may possibly neither want nor will need which will price extra money. Nearly all can limit in opposition to developing small , including. With a non-urban lot you might need a effectively and septic. This is around $20,500 on an total need. How's this particular saving cash? You will never pay out a drinking water expenses, and will also be self-sufficient regarding drinking water. Along with municipal drinking water costs on the rise, you might be saving $200 a month or even more. In most scenarios new homes your own effectively can and septic insures by themselves inside eight or ten years, and it will be gravy.
Incorporating utilized delivery pots inside the layout can help to save lots of money. These kind of pots are really inexpensive, concerning $2000 every single regarding 8 by simply Forty ft . units. One such notion is to buy a couple of, stick them concerning Twelve to 15 toes separate, and connect the space between them using a walls in each end, a flooring system, plus a top. You will likely desire a base, however, many folks merely wear them a piece, or perhaps in support beams. Environment these people up on support beams and maintaining these people later on is not a negative notion sometimes. Produce a 1240 square foot property for less than $45,500. You'll need the following sub-contractors: concrete floor base employees, craftsmen, a plumber plus an electrician.
The most beneficial properties for you to warmth or perhaps neat are either circular or perhaps sq. Along with traditional supplies sq is the most suitable. Even though including with a smaller sized home is a great method, be sure you avoid tacking in home building in various guidelines. Alternatively keep your property sq, or perhaps oblong regarding successful use of Heating and air conditioning. Developing a modest property in the sq condition is the best way to lessen developing costs too. 1 excellent strategy is that will put hardly any house windows in your upper walls, but a minumum of one front door regarding including. Produce a solar power walls regarding inactive solar power around the south aspect, and ensure your own eves stage north and south on an simple add on. If the spreads stage east and western, prefer to increase 1 end, new home to hold the cover series basic. Additional eves be more pricey.

Football: Wingers get win No. 1, face top-ranked Winona next
Two years and 10 days after its last victory, Red Wing got back in the win column on Tuesday with a 20-16 decision over Albert Lea in the Section 1AAAA quarterfinals. The end of an 18-game losing streak comes with the prize of heading to top-ranked, top-seeded and unbeaten Winona for Saturday's semifinal.
"Collectively, we recognize that we're in a process of putting something back together that got deconstructed last year. The kids have hung in all year, there's been no discord. They've worked hard all year, and it paid off (Tuesday)," said Wingers head coach Nate Freier. "I can't say enough about what they've done. The genuine joy tonight was some of the most I've seen. The kids did all the work, I was just glad to be a part of it."
Early on it appeared Red Wing was headed for a second-straight winless season, and third since 2012. But the Wingers won the battle between two struggling programs with a fourth-quarter touchdown and some stout defense.
Ismael Cabezas got Albert Lea on the board first with a 32-yard field goal a few minutes into the game. That capped off a drive that Red Wing propped up with 40 yards in penalties.
Tre Moore put the Wingers on top with a 29-yard run with 9 minutes, 1 second left in the second quarter. The two-point conversion failed, so Red Wing's lead stood at 6-3.
Cole Wentzel made it 10-6 Tigers with a 3-yard run with 2:14 left until halftime, but the Wingers would answer to take a 12-10 lead at the break with Seth Yeatman's 1-yard quarterback sneak with 42 seconds on the clock.
The second half opened with Carter Simon's 71-yard kick return, which gave Albert Lea a 16-12 lead. That lasted until 6:39 of the fourth when Yeatman hit Teddy Tauer for a 23-yard score. Yeatman then found Sam Kelly for the two-point conversion and a four-point lead that the defense would not give up.
Yeatman finished 12 of 19 for 180 yards, with Moore leading the way with 77 yards on five catches. Tauer had 68 yards on five receptions.
Albert Lea quarterback Alexander Goodmanson threw for 74 yards on 5 of 18 passing. Red Wing had 18 yards rushing, with the Tigers finishing with 10.
Up next for the Wingers (1-8) are the Winhawks, who beat Red Wing 56-8 in Week 7. It will be a tall task for the Wingers to pull an upset, but the game is just the next step in Freier's process.
"Like usual, you take it a game at a time. We're letting this one sink in and we'll get back at it (Thursday)," Freier said. "(The players) have become accustomed to coming in and breaking down film, doing walk-throughs and then hitting it hard. For us, to generate consistent success, it doesn't matter who or where you play, you have to go in believing you can win. Their resilience has got better as the year has gone on. And we'll do that on Saturday."

Despite only arriving home this morning from Kuala Lumpur, I still wanted to go and investigate and I am glad to say my D Mike agreed to come with me.
Getting there was really easy - we travelled by London underground taking the Hammersmith and City line to Goldhawk Road (2nd but last stop). Once you step out of the tube station the shops are almost opposite the tube station, so couldn't be easier.
Here are a few photos that my D Mike took while we were wandering up and down the road, and please dont take these as any endorsement of these particular shops, but more to demonstrate the variety.

Japan still has a social contract, effective government and a world-class infrastructure. Imagine if it happened here. We'd be hearing about all those nasty poor folk looting, and how they deserved to drown because they didn't prepare for it. Not the government's responsibility. Nebraskans shouldn't have to pay for it.
Sad, isn't it?
Oh, and let's remember that the average life span in Japan is amongst the world's longest. Primary care is freely available in Japan, where docs make some of their money by selling prescription medications as well. Japan's per capita health expenditure was $2293 in 2007. That year, America's was $6096. So Japan has more money to spend on infrastructure, even before America's military spending is taken into account, while maintaining a responsive, inclusive health care system. And you don't hear about their governments being bankrupted by rapidly escalating medical expenses.
Odd, that...

Reporting from Port-au-Prince, Haiti — Dumped in a squalid holding cell and then shunned by a society he doesn't know, Patrick Escarment struggles to learn Creole and build a life in earthquake-devastated Haiti.
His arrival here this year was not voluntary. Escarment was in the first group of Haitians with criminal records to be deported from the United States to Haiti after a one-year moratorium.
After the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake that destroyed most of this capital and killed more than 300,000 people, the Obama administration suspended deportations. The practice resumed three months ago, to the outcry of human rights activists and the protest of the Haitian government.
Escarment was born in the Bahamas to a Haitian woman trying to move to the United States. When he was 4, they moved to Florida, where he had lived ever since. He said he got involved in small-time drug-dealing during "real tough times" after his mother's death and spent 18 months on probation on a cocaine-sales conviction.

I first thought of the idea for this photo over two years ago but you know how it goes. Other images take precedence (especially ones that don't require as much time to set up!), you temporarily forget about it, life in general etc. However, I found myself at a loose end one evening last week & I thought "Hey! Let's give it a go!"
I began by taping 6 sheets of white, A4 paper together & placing them on a table. This was to create a basic white base (if you had a larger piece of paper or white foam board then obviously this would work just as well). At the back I stood two pieces of black, A4 card on their end to help create a dark backdrop (the cereal boxes were just a handy aid seeing as I was in the kitchen!) I arranged the stormtroopers on the base & stuck each of them down with a tiny piece of blu tack to prevent them from falling over mid shot. A quick scout on the internet had brought up baking powder as the most popular material to use as snow in this type of scaled down imaged. As you can see from below, you don't need to cover the entire base. Keep checking the live view on your camera to see any bare sections that require attention. For future reference, this was two 170g packets of baking powder. A useful tip when applying the baking powder is to roughly sprinkle it into hills & shapes first, then sieve some additional powder over the top to create a fine top layer which looks more realistic.
For the planet/moon ("That's no moon!") I took a piece of kitchen foil & loosely crumpled it into a ball before carefully unfolding it & wrapping it around a small, plastic, side plate. As I knew the top of the planet wasn't going to be in shot I merely held it with one hand while shining a small, LED pocket torch at it with the other. This was the only light source used (the room being completely dark) although I also had a white reflector just below the camera to bounce some of the light back onto the front of the mini figures. As for camera settings, the camera was in Aperture Priority mode in order for me to choose the depth of field I wanted & the resulting exposure was 1.3 seconds. It goes without saying the camera was on a tripod. I also set the shutter release to a 10 second delay seeing as both hands were occupied operating the torch & holding the moon.
Post production was fairly brief. A slight white balance adjustment to create a cooler look. A hue/saturation tweak to the blue channel and a brightness & contrast adjustment. Finally a little sharpening to finish it all off.

text: Susan McGalla is turning a new page in NFL history as the Director of Strategic Planning for the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is not a position that is commonly held by women for any NFL team. That makes her a powerful executive that is blazing trails for women in corporate America. This is not the only reason that her name is taking a front seat on the minds of Pittsburgh Steelers fans though. She is also the executive that is in charge of the clothing campaign. McGallas has managed to lure a lot of customers back to the clothing line for the Steelers by revamping what is available for customers to choose. The clothing industry is something that McGalla is very familiar with, and any company that has her in charge of the clothing line is in good hands. Susan McGalla is from Pittsburgh so she already has a vested interest in the city. She is a native that has learned football from her father and brother. That has given her the ability to learn the game and know the type of fans that she is trying to reach. This gives her the ability to truly build on the audience that she has in the NFL. Fashion is something that she is already familiar with so it has been easy for her to lure more customers. She is a branding expert, and she has even worked as a consultant on her own after reaching CEO status. It is safe to say that Susan knows every aspect of the business. The clothing Facebook campaign is a step in the right direction because she knows that the fan support will boost the spirits of the players. Everyone does not have the ability to market football clothing, but Susan has found an exciting way to present these new garments. She has managed to assert herself and introduce the clothing to a wide range of customers. Young adults and middle aged fans have something to look forward to. This brand new campaign is bound to attract some consumers that have never even purchased any sports gear before.

The Coalition on the Right to Information (RTI) has accused Parliament's joint committee on Legal, Constitutional Affairs and Communications of deliberately omitting key inputs made by the coalition after a meeting aimed at making amendments that will ensure that Ghana has a comprehensive bill.
The group has been pushing for the amendment of some clauses in the Right to Information bill which is before parliament.
Chairman of the RTI Coalition, Seth Abloso said the group identified several loopholes in the bill in its current state which need to be addressed before it is passed.
But the two committees of parliament working on the bill expunged their contributions to satisfy selfish motives, he alleged.
"We were invited to join them to make inputs and we are surprised most of the inputs we made are missing in the report the committee has presented to parliament," Mr. Abloso told Starr news' Asabea Akonor
"So, I will want to say that it is inadvertent that it is an oversight," he added.
The Right to Information Bill was laid before Parliament by the Deputy Attorney General Joseph Kpemka Dindiok in March and it has been 22 years since the first Right to Information RTI Bill was drafted under the auspices of the Institute of Economic Affairs, IEA.
Also, it is 16 years since the Executive arm of government in 2002 drafted the first RTI Bill. The draft Executive Bill was subsequently reviewed in 2003, 2005 and 2007 but was never laid in Parliament until February 5, 2010.

These 3 ARE my nest (that's what the journalling is about) and also, I thought the hammock at Granny Camp kind of looked like a nest.
Visual reminders are always good!
The journalling is about "lessons I am trying to learn from my 2 year old". Like "dirty is always better"!
A note about the orientation of this page. Because I wanted to use this picture I felt I needed to flip the template from BPC. It also helps the pages that I accidentally created in the wrong orientation to fit in better! LOL!
Be Free - the journalling talks about my desire to be free from fear, pain, guilt (oh, the Mommy guilt!) etc. I also flipped this one 'cus I was using another large picture. Plus, this page and the one above are next to each other in my book.
In this Moment celebrate with love. As I mentioned above, it was our anniversary on Tuesday (our 9th) and I took some pics before we headed out on our date. This picture was initially one of the rejects because our heads are cut off (ah, the self timer!) but there is something about it that I like so I scrapped it. Now it's with me forever!
Okay, so my post title said something about naps ... we arrived here on Sunday evening and the girls weren't able to calm down and get to sleep (they are all sharing a room downstairs so you can only imagine the excitement that created!) until after 10PM. Monday was a full day of VBS, cousins, pool time and then another late night when we tried to add their cousins into the mix of the sleepover (Jenna joined them while Caleb and Luke slept upstairs in the den.) It was past 9 when we finally got them settled - Paige was in my bed, Marley had moved over to sleep with Christine as she was sad to lose her bed mate (Paige) which left Jenna sad and alone ... Ammee to the rescue! Ina cuddled with her for a bit and that seemed to help settle everyone. Phew!
So, it should be no surprise then that LC looked like this by 10AM on Tuesday after a walk to the church to drop the kids off and to Shoppers to check out the new store.
She fell asleep in the stroller on the way home and hardly blinked an eyelid when I transferred her to the couch. Aww! According to Ina she was in bed just after 7 that night too. Poor tuckered out little soul!
Here is the "official" anniversary picture.
We had a good dinner out using a Groupon at The Point in Steveston. Very yummy food, very slow service but we scored a comped glass of wine because of it so who cares?!
Last but not least was the homemade water park today. The girls didn't want to go to the local park to play on the playground once I got back, instead they wanted to tear down the little hill that is Ammee and Poppa's driveway on their scooters while I sprayed them with the hose.
Hmmm ... okay
I have a few more grey hairs from watching these bikini clad bodies scream (rather shakily in Paige's case) by me but amazingly no one bailed!
For this one I was shooting from the hip as I was also manning the hose!
See Paige's hair flying out behind her? That should be some indication of how fast she was going!
This is the hill. LC was trying to go up as high as her sisters but ...
... Mother Marley helped her back down again.
So Paige could come flying down unhindered. Yikes!
LC took a little break on her scooter.
Eventually the scooters were tossed aside in favour if just plain old running through the spray! Here's Ina manning the hose.
Marley took a turn too. She can be rather ruthless with her aim but ...
... I don't think they minded! (This time!)
Paige is trying to squeeze the trigger to make the hose spray. Hee, hee, hee. I'm sure when she'd 16 she'll hate that I posted this picture of her but right now, I think she looks so cute!
Speaking of cute ... Marley making a Pringles duck bill mouth! The post water play snack.
And seeing as she was surrounded by granddaughters, Ina opened up a spa on the deck. Here is Paige painting her finger nails. Oh, and for those of you who are on Facebook, we were very careful with LC and she did NOT get to paint her own toe nails this time!
She did however participate in the soaking of the feet and ...
... the buffing of the calusses (okay, I have no idea how to spell that word!)
Well, that's it for today. The girls are asleep (without too much effort tonight) and I think it's time I was heading that way too. Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy the sunshine if you've got it and if you're near those thunder and tornado cells out East - hunker down and stay safe tonight!!

Shadow of Evil
Robin Caroll
B&H Publishing Group, Mar 1 2011, $15.99
In Eternal Springs, Louisiana, contractor Layla Taylor is stunned when a house she just completed is set on fire. Once the blaze is put out and the remains cooled down, a dead inspector is found inside. Detectives Maddox Bishop and Houston Wallace investigate the homicide-arson with Layla as the only link to both crimes besides the victim.
Maddox and Layla are attracted to one another from their first meeting. However, when more incidents including murder and arson occur, he knows the case comes first. He works diligently to keep Layla safe as she is the seeming focus that ties everything together, he does not want to have happen to her what happened to his mother almost two decades ago, which he still feels overwhelming guilt for not being home on time to protect her.
The latest Eternal Spring inspirational suspense thriller (see Deliver us From Evil and Fear No Evil) is a terrific police procedural with strong relationship bases. The sisters obviously love one another though disagree more than they agree on issues. The police partners provide strong support for each other on and off the job. Maddox with his remorse and guilt over his mom shapes his personality as he and Layla fall in love, but God is in their way as she believes strongly (as does her sibling) while he no longer accepts a deity who allowed a bad thing to happen to his mom. This occurs inside a strong investigation with an unexpected but plausible late twist as a serial killer-arsonist seems to target Layla.

A SECOND case has emerged of a woman who has had her children taken away from her and been prevented from objecting because she was judged too stupid by the authorities.
Lawyers acting for the 24-year-old from Nottingham, who has had two daughters adopted, say she has since shown herself far brighter than was believed when the original judgment was made.
But it is now too late for her to go back to court for the return of her children.
Last month, The Sunday Times reported a similar case of a mother deemed too unintelligent to care for her child.
The plight of the women has highlighted the role of the official solicitor, the state lawyer appointed to represent them, but who declined to contest either case.
New figures show that hundreds of parents have had the official solicitor, currently Alastair Pitblado, imposed.
Since January 2006 his department has been brought in to represent 588 parents deemed to lack the mental capacity to instruct lawyers in cases where their children faced the possibility of adoption.
Last month The Sunday Times highlighted the case of Rachel, also a 24-year-old from Nottingham, who is taking her legal challenge to the European Court of Human Rights after her three-year-old daughter was ordered to be adopted because she was ruled not to be intelligent enough to care for her.
In the latest case the mothers two daughters were both adopted in 2006 after a health worker noticed that her living conditions were unsatisfactory.
Before the case was finalised in court, however, it was decided that the woman lacked the intelligence to instruct her own lawyer, which led to the official solicitor being brought in. A psychologists report gave her a low IQ but said her learning disability would improve in time.

IN what contest?
I noticed that only four of the finalists are winning by views or ratings. Why is that? A lot of out of the blue (no offense) Instructables have been promoted to finalists, what is the reason to this? Is this to do with judging or are there other more sinister reasons...
IN what contest?
They do seem to be picking finalists by category. The food went up first, then the slideshows and the pumpkins. The winners are selected by a judging panel and not necessarily on views, votes or ratings. There are also some that are leading in views and ratings but not qualified to win prizes (not in the US etc).
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO u cant win if ur not in the us???!?!?!?! Im a US citizen but at the moment have a lithuanian i.p. adress do you mean that i dont get any prizes??!?!?!?!?!
You can win, you just can't collect a prize. Some items can't be shipped outside the USA.
Unfortunately. That is what the first forum post is all about.
Rage Level Overload
I'm starting to get the impression that much more attention is lavished upon costumes that recreate existing characters, as opposed to any original ideas. This, I just don't understand. I mean, making a convincing Iron Man costume is all well and good, but where is the appreciation for originality?
Awww I thought I had a good 'ible going on. I didn't make it to da finals. AWWWW waaaaaaa I am going to cry into my big bowl of halloween candy. :(
I don't believe they are finished selecting the finalists yet, so not all of the popular ones have been decided upon. It looks like they are picking finalist for different categories (food and jack-o-lanterns so far.) Just give it some time. :) (Luckily for me, both categories I was most interested again have been selected already.)

Chlamydia is a type of infection that can be passed through sexual activities. It is commonly characterized with a number of discomforts in the genital parts of a man or woman. Such symptoms may include smelly or abnormal discharge, difficulties or painful urination, pain during sex, itchiness, and many others. If you have been positive with chlamydia then your doctor will have to prescribed you with chlamydia antibiotics for treatment. So far, the most effective chlamydia antibiotics are azithromycin and doxycycline. Clinical studies have proven that these antibiotic drugs are sufficient enough to kill the bacteria that have caused the infection. In fact, when you take these chlamydia antibiotics you do not need to combine them with other treatments because they are enough to treat your condition.
There are a number of points you should remember if you have been diagnosed positive with chlamydia. As soon as you are prescribed with chlamydia antibiotics, you should also let your sexual partner have the treatment, including those whom you have sex with for the last couple of months to avoid the infection from being spread. You may request your health care professionals attending you do this so that you and your partner/s are safe from the infectious sexually transmitted disease. But you should not worry since chlamydia is treatable given that you strictly adhere to the advices given to you by your doctor. Moreover, you should abstain from having sex with your partner during treatment, otherwise your chances of having back the bacterial infection is high. Continue reading

Venezuelans crammed streets Tuesday night, weeping and chanting as they clutched pictures of Hugo Chávez, who prided himself on defeating his enemies during 14 years in power but was unable to conquer the cancer that haunted him for almost two years.
Fighting back tears, Vice President Nicolás Maduro said Chávez died at 4:25 p.m. local time and had given his life for the nation.
"In the midst of this intense pain and historic tragedy for our country, we ask all our compatriots to be vigilant of peace, love, respect and calm," Maduro said.
As the news spread through Caracas, cars honked their horns and crowds gathered at plazas and in front of the Military Hospital where Chávez had spent his final days.

"I feel awful, terrible," said Hernán Arcila, a 42-year-old construction worker who rushed to the city center after hearing the news. "It's like losing a father."
At Plaza Bolívar, an iconic square in the heart of Caracas, mourners chanted "Chávez lives! The struggle continues!"
The country's Supreme Court, military and a parade of ministers took turns reassuring the stunned nation that the administration was unified and solid. Defense Minister Diego Molera said troops were on the streets to guarantee law and order, adding that there were no indications of unrest.
"You can count on your Armed Forces, which are of the people and for the people . . . to enforce the constitution," he said.
Chávez's death should trigger new elections within 30 days and many analysts expect Maduro — the president's handpicked successor — to have an edge over potential rivals.
The opposition coalition, known as the MUD, has been meeting to pick a single candidate to take on the administration, but many expect the organization will settle on Miranda Gov. Henrique Capriles, who had a strong but losing showing against Chávez in October's election.
Capriles said his thoughts were with Chávez's family and his followers.
"In difficult moments, we must show our profound respect for our Venezuela," he wrote on Twitter. "Unity of the Venezuelan family!"
Late Tuesday, Foreign Minister Elías Jaua said no one should doubt that new elections are coming.
"The government of Venezuela and all of the powers will do what the president said we must do: enforce the constitution," he said.
The government declared seven days of mourning, and said Chávez's body will be transported from the Military Hospital to the Military Academy early Wednesday. On Friday, he will be given a state funeral, and dozens of regional leaders are expected to attend.
"We're hurt. We're shattered by the passing of our brother and companion," Bolivian President Evo Morales, a longtime ally, said as he wiped away tears. "My companion gave his entire life for the liberation of Venezuela and Latin America."
Chávez used his nation's vast oil wealth to build regional organizations — such as the ALBA bloc of socialist nations, and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, which includes every country in the hemisphere but the United States and Canada — to challenge what he saw as undo U.S. influence in the hemisphere.
Jamaica's Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called Chávez "a sincere, jovial, and a very vociferous and committed leader in the defense of the rights and welfare of the most marginalized and vulnerable in the society."
"I will miss him dearly," she said. "Long live my friend. Long live Mr. President. Gone but not forgotten."
U.S. President Barack Obama was more circumspect.
"At this challenging time of President Hugo Chávez's passing, the United States reaffirms its support for the Venezuelan people and its interest in developing a constructive relationship with the Venezuelan government," he said in a statement. "As Venezuela begins a new chapter in its history, the United States remains committed to policies that promote democratic principles, the rule of law, and respect for human rights."
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, said Chávez's death presents an opportunity for Venezuelans to "emerge from this oppressive regime and regain their democracy and human rights."
"Chávez misruled Venezuela with an iron grip on the government, economy and the courts as he routinely bullied the media and the opposition to deny the people of Venezuela their basic freedoms," said Ros-Lehtinen, former chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "Today his death marks the end of this tyrannical rule but the road to democracy for the Venezuelan people is still very much uncertain."
Chávez and Cuban leader Fidel Castro had a tight and long-running relationship. Chávez supported the island's economy with subsidized oil and it was there that he went to get his cancer treatment. On Tuesday, Cuba declared three days of mourning and called him "one of its most prominent sons."
"Chávez is also Cuban!" the government said in a statement read on Cuban television. "He felt our pain and problems and did everything he could, with extraordinary generosity."
Chávez first shot to fame in 1992 when he and other mid-ranking military officers tried to overthrow President Carlos Andrés Pérez. But the charismatic tank commander finally captured the presidency through the ballot box in 1999 and began rolling out social programs that made him a hero to the poor.
News of the death capped a chaotic day of heightened tensions in Venezuela, where Maduro accused U.S. diplomats of conspiring against the country and suggested Chávez's enemies may have given him the disease.
During a cabinet and military meeting earlier Tuesday, Maduro accused U.S. Embassy Air Attaché Col. David Delmonaco of trying to infiltrate the armed forces.
"This official has taken on the task of looking for active Venezuelan military [officials] to propose projects to destabilize the armed forces," Maduro said.
The U.S. State Department confirmed that Delmonaco and Devlin Kostal, the assistant air attaché, were both being expelled from the country.
The move drew a harsh rebuke from Washington.
"We completely reject the Venezuelan government's claim that the United States is involved in any type of conspiracy to destabilize the Venezuelan government," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said in a statement. "Notwithstanding the significant differences between our governments, we continue to believe it important to seek a functional and more productive relationship with Venezuela based on issues of mutual interest. This fallacious assertion of inappropriate U.S. action leads us to conclude that, unfortunately, the current Venezuelan government is not interested in an improved relationship."
But Maduro also used the occasion to dust off one of Chávez's own theories: that a rash of presidential cancer in the region may have been part of a bioweapons program.
"We don't have any doubts that the day will come when we can gather a scientific commission that will show that Commander Chávez was attacked with this illness," Maduro said. "We have no doubt that our historic enemies have been trying to hurt President Chávez's health."
Ventrell said any suggestion that the U.S. was "somehow involved in causing President Chávez's illness is absurd, and we definitively reject it."
Chávez first announced he had cancer in June 2011, saying doctors in Cuba had removed a baseball sized tumor from his pelvic region. He underwent at least four surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy.
Chávez was last seen publically on Dec. 10, when he boarded the presidential aircraft to undergo his final surgery in Cuba. After the procedure, the administration said he developed a severe lung infection that required a tracheotomy and made it difficult for him to speak. On Feb 18, he was spirited back into the country, unannounced and under the cover of darkness. At the time, Maduro suggested his return was a sign that he was on the mend.
And many here thought El Comandante would bounce back like he had before.
Nicolas Pereira, a 40-year-old telecom worker, said that despite all the bad news he expected Chávez to survive.
"Hope," he said, "is always the very last things to die."
Miami Herald staff writers Carol Rosenberg and Jacqueline Charles contributed to this report from Miami.

Staff at the Hospital of St Cross have received top marks from their patients on the healthcare equivalent of TripAdvisor.
For the last six months, the hospital has maintained five stars out of five on the reviews and rating section of NHS Choices.
It is one of only a handful across the country to do so.
NHS Choices ratings are the healthcare equivalent of TripAdvisor.
It allows patients and relatives to post reviews of their care, as well as giving it a star rating out of five.
Another website, Patient Opinion, also allows patients and visitors to post reviews, but doesn't have star ratings.
Juliet Starkey, manager of St Cross, said: "We were delighted to reach a five star rating in September 2016, and we're absolutely thrilled to have maintained this rating for the last six months.
"We share all NHS Choices and Patient Opinion reviews with our staff, as well as responding to the people who've taken time to leave comments.
"While of course it's fantastic to read positive reviews of our hospital, all feedback we receive on sites like these is important, as we use it to make improvements to our services."

Drumroll please...today I bring to you THE FIRST FUN RECIPE OF FOOTBALL SEASON!
Woohoo! Game day food!
Good night, what has happened to me over the past few years? When I did I actually start to care about and look forward to football rather than simply suffering through it next to my husband?
I don't know exactly how all of this transpired...but it has.
And here I sit- actually eagerly anticipating the Seahawks/Cowboys preseason game this week.
What. Is. Wrong with me.
Do you know what I do know?
Football food is fun and you and I? We have several months more of fun game day foods to go.
Sure, we'll intersperse some other obligatory stuff. You know...Halloween, Thanksgiving, general cozy fall goodness, Christmas, New Years...but have no fear, football season is here and the corresponding fun foods are coming.
Ooh boy, that sounds appetizing, doesn't it?
I know. Sounds kind of funky actually.
I made these thinking my husband and daughter would enjoy them and they'd be ok...but honestly, they really exceeded my expectations. They're super yummy.
Simple too!
You start with store-bought biscuit dough (I used the Pillsbury Grands!® Flaky Layers Original Biscuits), flatten them, and press them into prepared muffin tins like a little pie crust. Then throw them in the oven for a couple of minutes to blind bake them a little.
Brown some ground beef, toss with BBQ Sauce (I used my go-to recipe from that rib recipe that I love so much- I haven't bought BBQ sauce in forever!) and onions, and bake. Top it with cheese towards the and and there you have it- a pretty darn delicious little handheld food perfect for football watching!
I happened to have the dried onions it calls for on hand because of the Ham Salad recipe my husband loves (and I rarely think to make for him...), but if you don't you could EASILY just sauté some onions and throw them in. You could also bulk this up a little with sautéed peppers if you were so inclined. :-)
1 lb ground beef
2/3 C barbeque sauce
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
2 (12 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough (16 biscuits total)
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2. In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, cook beef until evenly brown. Drain excess fat. Stir in barbeque sauce and dried onion. Simmer for a few minutes over low heat.
3. Flatten each biscuit, and press into cups of the prepared muffin pan. Make sure the dough comes to the top of the pan. Bake empty biscuit cups for 2 minutes; remove from oven.
4. Spoon a portion of the meat mixture into each dough cup. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 3 more minutes. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce before serving if desired.
