Apparently You Shouldn't Bet Against Jared Goff, Despite What Deadspin Says/
By Connor Buestad | firstname.lastname@example.com
Back in 2013, Jared Goff arrived on the campus of UC Berkeley as a token skinny blonde kid from Marin Catholic High School, hoping to win the starting quarterback job for the Golden Bears. For various reasons, I had my doubts about how he would fare as a true freshman in the Pac-12. To be honest, I thought Zach Kline, the hyped gunslinger from San Ramon Valley, deserved to beat him out for the job headed into the fall. His high school field didn't even have lights, I reasoned. How could he take over at the helm of a major college football team that quickly and easily? Shouldn't Kline, with a year under his belt in college, not to mention a stronger arm, get the first crack at the job?
Ultimately, Sonny Dykes selected Goff to run the show for the Bears, effectively handing him his slick Air Raid Offense playbook and getting out of the way. In year one, despite some flashes of brilliance in the pocket, Goff struggled mightily as Cal sputtered to a 1-11 record, with their lone win coming at home versus Portland State, a team that can't exactly call itself Division 1.
Despite the adversity, Goff bounced back with big passing seasons as a sophomore and junior, thriving in Dykes' open air offense. Blessed with a strong receiving corps around him, Goff began to attract the attention of NFL scouts with his ability to put a ball on a dime, while never getting truly rattled, even on the road at the likes of the University of Texas.
Yet for as much success as Goff had on the collegiate level, he never quite solidified himself as a truly big-time quarterback. Alarmingly, over his three years with the Bears, Goff never once beat a top-25 team. Yes, you could argue that his defense was the problem, but Goff also shrunk in big moments himself. Perhaps his biggest test came as a junior on the road at no. 5 Utah, with College Gameday present in Salt Lake City. The 23rd ranked Bears gave themselves a chance to win that night, but ultimately could not overcome Goff throwing FIVE interceptions.
But, true to form, Goff would let his low points roll off his back and by year's end, the junior was throwing six touchdowns in a bowl game victory over Air Force. NFL scouts were loving every minute of it, apparently.
When draft day hit in Chicago in the spring of 2016, one of the main storylines was how weak of a draft class it was for QB's. Beside Goff and Carson Wentz, it was slim pickings. The LA Rams and head coach Jeff Fisher needed a franchise QB, so they went with Goff at number one overall, leaving Wentz for the Philadelphia Eagles at #2. Almost immediately, Goff became a rookie bust. Meanwhile, Wentz hit the ground running, leading the Eagles offense and winning games immediately and winning over the Philly faithful.
Deadspin foreshadowed Goff's rookie campaign beautifully by ripping him a new one for his unabashed, over-the-top marketing efforts on draft night. The first overall pick was bashed for his social media ads on his personal channels with the article titled "Man, Jared Goff Loves Brands," which basically made fun of him for squeezing every last dollar out of a night he was already making millions on.
Man, Jared Goff loves brands: https://t.co/OXeN18ewyc pic.twitter.com/hxsBOHLSKT— Deadspin (@Deadspin) April 29, 2016
By June of 2016, Goff was back in the news with Deadspin's prestigious site for going back on his word with LA Dodger Yasiel Puig. A life-long Giants fan, Goff has been known to hunt souvenir baseballs in the stands at Pac Bell Park in a cream colored SF jersey. As a teenager, he even went as far as to tweet out his desire for Puig to get drilled in the ribs. That's why it was a bit lame to see Goff immediately buddy up with Puig in a Dodgers jersey on the field at Chavez Ravine. Naturally, Deadspin gave the rookie hell for it with the headline, "Jared Goff Buddies Up With Yasiel Puig, Betrays the Sanctity of His Takes." Honestly, it was pretty well deserved when you considered the sanctity of the Giants-Dodgers/NorCal-SoCal rivalry. Poor form indeed.

When the preseason of Goff's first pro season got underway, he looked, well, really bad. Thus, drawing the headline, "Jared Goff Looks Kinda Butt" by Deadspin. Under the guidance of Fisher, Goff looked lost leading the Rams offense, quickly spurring on whispers of "is Goff a bust?" from guys like Colin Cowherd and the like. Of course, it was way too soon for this type of chatter, but then again, it could very well have been true. He did look pretty butt out there.
To add to the "bust" whispers, Goff didn't even suit up in his first game as an LA Ram. Coach Fisher seemed too worried to let him be the second string QB against his hometown 49ers on Opening Night. So instead, the first overall pick in the draft would be asked to watch cautiously from the sideline and take notes form Case Keenum. The headline "The Rams Might Be In A New City, But They Still Suck" was run by Deadspin, outlining the apparent dysfunction of the new-look Rams franchise.

By the time Goff finally got a chance to suit up for Fisher's archaic offense, the only Deadspin headline Goff could produce was one of a casual mocking. "Jeff Fisher Pleased With Jared Goff's Ability to Perform Basic Funcitons," it read. Still pretty depressing all things considered.
2017, however, was an entirely different story for Goff and the LA Rams. Fisher was sent packing and in came 31-year-old Sean McVay to the rescue. The offensive wonderboy didn't waste any time in his first season as an NFL head coach, winning the NFC West with an 11-5 record. In one short year, Goff went from an NFL cautionary tale, to a Pro Bowl and a playoff appearance. It all happened so fast that the media, especially Deadspin, didn't know what to make of it. Was this real life? Would McVay's secret sauce be sniffed out? Could Goff continue to slice up NFL defenses at this alarming rate? Most were still skeptical.
By year two of the McVay era, there was no denying that the Rams were on to something. And by the middle of this season, after turning in one of the most electric games in Monday Night Football history, Deadspin in particular began to wonder, "Was That the Future of Football?" And if you thought about it for a second, it absolutely was. Jared Goff vs. Patrick Mahomes trading touchdowns to the tune of 54-51 in LA. Yes, the future football was upon us.
Was that the future of football? https://t.co/9nCD8Pxols pic.twitter.com/NPFHf6zL6h— Deadspin (@Deadspin) November 20, 2018
Yet even as Goff was solidifying himself as young star quarterback in year three of his prosperous NFL career, the naysayers still had reason to believe the skinny blonde kid from Marin would eventually fall back to earth and fulfill "bust" label that seemed to fit him well enough. A few bad games and the narrative could be unearthed once again. And that is exactly what happened. "It Only Took Four Bears to Make Jared Goff Look Like a Chump."
It only took four Bears to make Jared Goff look like a chump: https://t.co/kyUfMBJrOH pic.twitter.com/3FrtIcvrnS— Deadspin (@Deadspin) December 10, 2018
Yes, technically that would be correct, Deadspin. Then again, the Bears defense isn't all that chumpish (Khalil Mack, heard of him). But wait, the struggles continued, prompting the concerned Deadspin headline, "Jared Goff Is Really Struggling" to pop up as a headline. The article read as follows:
The Jared Goff who seemed like an obvious MVP candidate three weeks ago is nowhere to be seen. In his last three games, Goff has only one touchdown against seven interceptions; compare that to 26 and six over the first 11 weeks of the season. The Rams were perhaps the best team in the NFL through 11 weeks, winning the game of the season and only dropping a thriller to the Saints, in which Goff played heroically. Since winning that Monday Night Football classic, Los Angeles has gone 1-2, struggling to dispatch the Lions two weeks ago, getting crunched by the Bears last week, and convincingly losing to the Nick Foles-led Eagles this week, their first home loss of the season.
That's why going into the NFC Championship game in New Orleans, I made the conscious (more importantly sober) decision to bet against Goff. He was getting just three points on the road in front of a literally deafening New Orleans Saints crowd. On the other side of the ball was the ultra-experienced Drew Brees, a 40-year old competitive junkie who basically never loses at home inside the dome. A man with a Super Bowl to his name and over a dozen playoff appearances as a starting QB. The Saints had the savvy Sean Payton leading them, while the Rams countered with 32-year-old McVay, a guy who still hasn't finished two seasons as a head coach in the NFL. Goff had never one a truly big game in his life. Would he start now? Well… yes.
Say what you will about the "worst call in NFL history," Goff made plays for his team to put them in position to win the game. With Montana's #16 displayed proudly across his chest, Goff weathered a treacherous storm in the first quarter when the Rams fell down 13-0 to start the game. He could have easily folded at that point, as most other unproven quarterbacks that young would have been swallowed up by the noise in the dome. All his excuses were built in and ready to go. He could head into the post-game pressor and talk positively about how young the Rams were as a team from top to bottom and how much room they had to grow in the seasons to come. The narrative would have made sense. But somehow, Goff was able to push the noise of the fans and the headlines aside and pull out an improbable, albeit controversial victory in the face of sure defeat.
Rams head to Super Bowl while Saints are left to be haunted by terrible missed penalty: https://t.co/2ukiuYD6HZ pic.twitter.com/PIfTNwPWQ4— Deadspin (@Deadspin) January 21, 2019
Now onto Atlanta Goff goes for Super Bowl 53, to square off against one of his childhood heroes in Tom Brady, another Bay Area native in his own right. If you want to bet against Goff in the Super Bowl, by all means go ahead. After all, the Vegas odds will be in your favor. Just don't expect Deadspin to use the word "bust" and "Goff" in the same sentence anytime in the future. They're way too smart for that.

A key component of our philosophy and practice at WEAREKIDMIN is giving children the opportunity to experience the life-changing power of God's presence by intentionally crafted "Lab Experiences". These are moments where children are given opportunity to share openly about their lives and then guided through a process of inviting God's presence and truth into those places. We want to see children encouraged, empowered, challenged and ultimately transformed by a living interaction with God and His Word. To read more about the foundational thinking behind this, check out GIVING KIDS THE OTHER HALF OF JESUS.
We are commanded to love God with ALL our heart, ALL our soul, ALL our strength and with ALL our mind. However, with so many distractions fighting for our attention and affection, it's very easy to lose sight of Jesus and offer Him leftovers instead of our everything. The following experience is designed to help children honestly look at their lives and decide just how much Jesus means to them.
Ask the children to complete "Give Me Seven" templates. At the bottom of the template there is a seven-inch-long ruler. Ask the students to write or draw above each number on the ruler (1 through 7) something and/or someone important to them.
The numbers on the ruler will help them rate what's important to them. 1 would represent something or someone less important and 7—something or someone extremely important.
Some children may struggle formulating their thoughts. It would help them if you write some suggestions on a whiteboard. For example: nice house, fast car, cool toys, great health, awesome grades, fun vacations, tons of money, extraordinary talents, latest electronics, good friends, and happy family. Notice, I purposefully didn't include Jesus on that list. I find it interesting to see if He makes it to anyone's list without being suggested.
Give children 5-8 minutes to work on their lists, then invite several of them to share what and who is very important to them. Be attentive to what they say. This is your time to enter their inner world and learn from them and about them, so be careful not to offer too many commentaries.
Say: Take a look at your ruler. As you look at it, think about how you would answer the question, How much does Jesus mean to you? Think about where on the ruler your answer would fall. If you feel like Jesus doesn't mean very much, maybe you'd say "2" or "3," but if you think Jesus means quite a bit to you, you might say "5" or "6"—or even "7."
Give the students several seconds to think and then welcome their answers. Make sure they understand that they don't have to ascribe Jesus the highest number because it's the "right" thing to do. Help them know that you're really looking for honest answers which reflect what position Jesus takes in their lives today.
Think of this segment as a confession time, where everyone is encouraged to be vulnerable. Invite children to speak honestly about what position Jesus takes in their life, and what things or activities fight for His place.
Be sure to make it clear that there is nothing wrong in wanting to be healthy, rich or beautiful; however, all these things become wrong and even dangerous if we place them above our relationship with God.
Show your students a trophy (ribbon, medal) and tell a little bit how you won it. Talk about how trophies go to the fastest, strongest, smartest people to emphasize their accomplishment in certain areas (sports, art, science, etc.) Basically, trophies are a way to say YOU ARE THE VERY BEST!!
Ask the class to think about this question: If you were a trophy, who would deserve to have you—your every moment, your every penny, your every heartbeat and ounce of energy? (Some of the literal thinkers will need you to either briefly explain this question or paraphrase it.)
After everyone agrees that Jesus is the one who deserves our everything because He created us and loves us more than anyone else, ask the children to list some of the rivals who fight for Jesus' place in our lives. Write their answers on the whiteboard (money, clothes, friends, video games, sports, popularity, TV, etc.)
Say: Let's look at the list of things that tend to distract us from giving our full attention to Jesus. Point to the whiteboard list. Listen to this Bible verse which helps us understand how we can make Jesus the most important part of our lives.
Read Philippians 3:7-8, and then emphasize this part, "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." Let's say that together. Have children repeat the Bible verse after you. Ask what they think it means.
Some of their answers might be: knowing Jesus is better than anything else; Jesus is a priceless treasure; other things in life are worthless when we compare them to Jesus.
Take a trash can and place it where everyone can see it. This visual will further illustrate that all other things are like garbage compared to the treasure of knowing Christ and having a close relationship with Him.
Lead children is saying: I consider __________ (an item from the whiteboard) garbage, that I may gain Christ. Do it for each item on the list, having kids doing actions to represent turning away from things that distract us from Jesus and focusing our attention on knowing Jesus and listening to Him. When we say, "I consider SPORTS garbage," pretend that you're throwing it into a garbage can. When we say, "that I may gain Christ," let's put our hands over our hearts as a sign that knowing Jesus is our ultimate treasure. Erase each distraction after you "throw" it into the trashcan.
Pass around pipe cleaners (one per student).
Say: Now we're going to listen to the song that's going to help us tell God that we want Him to be everything in our life and we want to live for Him ONLY. As you listen, shape your pipe cleaner into something that represents what's been consuming you lately (taking a lot of your time, energy and attention). When the song finishes, we will lift these things representing our distractions, to God. We will pray together, asking Him to forgive us for allowing these things to take the first place in our lives and we will invite Him to be the one we seek most of all.
Make sure that everyone understands what they're supposed to do and then play one of the following tracks: "My Heart Is Yours" by Kristian Stanfill or "Open Arms" by Laura Story.
Say: So many things in life are fighting for the first place in our heart. That's why we need to fight back to keep Jesus in the center of our lives. So if you are ready to lift your pipe cleaner shape up as a sign of offering your distractions to God, let's do it right now. Let's repent for being too busy, for giving God leftovers of our time or strength and let's dedicate ourselves to loving Him above everything and everyone else. If this is something that you want to do today, raise your hands like this (give an example) and pray this prayer with me. I'll say a line and you can say it after me. Lead children in the prayer of repentance and dedication to God.
After the prayer, invite them to throw their pipe cleaner creations into the trashcan as a sign that Jesus is their ultimate treasure.
With this closing activity you will make sure that the children leave the classroom not only with the knowledge and excitement about keeping Jesus first but also with a clear game plan that will help them put into practice what they just learned.
They will fill in calendars and take them home as a reminder of the appointments with Jesus that they scheduled. Hopefully, these calendars will trigger good conversations with parents giving them a chance to further encourage their children and even keep them accountable about putting Jesus first.
Say: One of the best ways to maintain close friendship with Jesus is to regularly take time to enjoy His presence and get to know Him better. When we set aside time in our busy schedules to read the Bible, pray and be with other believers, we show that Jesus is a priceless treasure to us. I've given each of you a handout with a calendar for next week. On your calendar, write at least three things you already know you have to do next week. Maybe you have a test at school and you need to get ready for it, a music lesson, or certain chores you have to do at home.
Then ask them to write in a few realistic things that they'd like to do the following week (like watching a TV show, reading a book, playing a video game, etc.). Give kids time to write those activities and then invite several of them to share with the class what they wrote. After the kids have finished sharing,
Say: Take a look at your calendars. Do you see just how quickly our lives fill up with so many different activities which often leave no room for Jesus. There are so many things we might worry about, or chase after, or get caught up in that it is easy to forget what really matters in life. Let's take another look at our calendars and this time schedule a date with Jesus, a time when you can get connected to Him through praying and reading your Bible.
Give the children opportunity to schedule time to spend with Jesus. They can choose as many days of the weeks as they want to and indicate what portion of the day they'll give to Jesus. Encourage them to be specific. You can give them suggestions of what their time at the feet of Jesus may look like. Maybe you'll set aside time to pray, read your Bible, go to church, or ask questions to learn more about Jesus. Give kids a chance to report.
NOTE: By giving the children opportunity to schedule time for Jesus, you're teaching them that spiritual growth doesn't just happen and that we need to be intentional about growing closer to Jesus. Be careful not to suggest that they should designate time for Jesus in the beginning of each and every day. It's important that whatever children put on the calendar comes from them and not from you.
Now that you've scheduled to have touch points with Jesus throughout your week, make sure to follow through! Take your calendars home to remind you that knowing Jesus is better than anything else in the world.
Close by having kids pray for each other, asking God to help them give Jesus their time and attention.
If you like this resoure so much that you want to send my wife and me on a coffee date, that would be lovely. (Coffee Date launchpad is HERE.)
Thank you so much!

For tutoring most students for this exam - also called the SSAT - it's best to go through a good workbook. But I also check to see if the student has any gaps in his basic knowledge, such as grammar forms, some Prefixes & Word Roots, etc. As there is now an essay on the exam, students can plan,write, & revise practice papers for me. This seems effective; and of course, whatever students review with me for their exam is quite useful when they start in high school. Experience with tutoring international students.

Student Secret Santa Gift Ideas For Every Budget
The festive season is upon us and with the decorating of Christmas trees and the opening of advent calendars, comes the exchanging of secret Santa gifts. Whether you're buying for a distant flatmate or somebody on your course, this can get a little stressful. To help you get crowd-pleasing gifts for everybody, here are our last minute secret Santa ideas for every budget and every personality.

£5 Budget
Food and Drink
First and foremost, an essential thing a student can receive is life's necessities. Edible gifts are the best kind of gifts, as you know they won't be gathering dust in the cupboard. A small bottle of something or a box of treats can go a long way for your secret Santa. To make it a little more personal, collect their favourite goodies and present them in a jar with a ribbon.
Another thing guaranteed to get used and within budget is a mug. Especially helpful when the coffee cravings come in during a last-minute revision session. Find Me A Gift do a range of novelty mugs for a fiver. Failing that, you can get personalised mugs from Vistaprint if you fancy printing their nickname or a photo on the front.
There's sometimes a stigma attached to receiving socks for Christmas. However, with the cold chill of an English December and the constant threat of socks going missing, socks are a welcome gift for students, especially within a £5 budget. You can get as creative as you like with socks, think cosy slipper socks or bright colours if you want to stand out a little. You'll find these pretty much anywhere, but the Sock Shop does a range of fiver socks.
£10 Budget
Travel Mugs
With a bigger budget comes a little more wiggling room. As said before, mugs are a student essential and what's more helpful than a mug that you can take with you on the go? If your flatmate is a last minute person that can't fit in a coffee before lectures, this may be the gift for them. Again you can customise these to fit their style. Asos does a range of travel mugs for £10.
Juggling cooking and studies isn't the easiest of tasks and searching for recipes can waste a lot of precious time. An easy to follow student cookbook may not be the most exciting gift, but it's one that will get used. Books such as The Student Cookbook or 5 Ingredients by Jamie Oliver are sure to go down a treat, and they are both under £10.
Home Comforts
If there's one thing a student misses, it's the comfort of home. If a flatmate appears to be homesick, a thoughtful gift could be to get them something that reminds them of their hometown. This could be a photo frame with memories in or something to make them a little cosier, such as a hot water bottle. Think of a simple luxury item that they wouldn't add to their student budget. Boots can also offer you bathing and skin care products should they need a pamper.

£20 Budget
Finally the £20 budget, which covers a lot of secret Santa gift ideas. One of which could be certain lighting to personalise their room (as long as it fits in with your student accommodation rules!). For example, this Make Your Own Neon Sign allows them to have whatever they want to be written on their wall and is under £15!
While not the most exciting idea, it's possibly the most useful. Small kitchen appliances are not to go amiss! Whether your flatmate is more of a toastie or a waffle fan, you can cater to their needs. Argos offers sandwich toasters under £20.
Last, but not least, on the list of secret Santa ideas is décor to help personalise a student room. This could include anything from pillowcases to ornaments. If you need some more specific ideas, you can get a doodle pillowcase from the Present Finder. This is pretty useful if the person you're buying for can be forgetful.

Who are you buying for?
Now that you've got your budget sorted, you need to decide what type of gift your secret Santa pick will like. See which description best fits them from the list below and you'll find the perfect gift in no time.
The Scrooge
This person won't even say the word Christmas before December and scowls every time they hear the sound of jingle bells. While Christmas may not be their favourite holiday, they still deserve a proper present in secret Santa… even if they do shudder at the thought.
Get them: Their favourite chocolates or sweets, preferably without the festive packaging. If your budget stretches, maybe throw in a festive accessory like a flashing tie or hairband if you're feeling mischevious.
The Good Elf
The friend who's worked hard all year, put all your Christmas decorations up and always has the shared kitchen looking sparkling on their day off. Christmas is the time for them to put their feet up and this is your chance to show your appreciation for everything they do.
Get them: Something nice to pamper themselves like a set of bath bombs or a nice face mask. You might even be able to share a pamper night in together.
The Naughty Elf
The one who comes in late and makes themselves a midnight snack, always forgetting to tidy up afterwards. This person is the life and soul of the party and usually a bad influence, but they're a lot of fun to be around.
Get them: A homemade hangover kit with vitamin drinks, paracetamol tablets, a chocolate bar and can of fizzy drink. Throw in a DVD and that's boxing day, sorted!
The Christmas fanatic
This person has had a countdown to Christmas on their phone since 1st January and has a wardrobe full of festive jumpers. It's their favourite time of the year and they're not afraid to show it. They probably organised this secret Santa.
Get them: Anything typically Christmassy. Novelty socks or a hot water bottle are good options. Don't forget to compliment them on their famous mulled wine recipe!
The Rudolph
They'll go along with the festivities of Christmas but aren't that bothered about getting gifts… their favourite part of the festive season is the food and spending time with loved ones.
Get them: A cinema ticket so you can go to see a movie together. Buy them some popcorn with your leftover budget.
We hope you enjoyed our last minute secret Santa ideas! Stay up to date with all our news and events by visiting the Journal or check our student accommodation in London.

This really is the dog's bollocks....or not as the case may be as they will now be resplendent with nether garments too???
"smugglers could get jittery when they see these uniformed dogs around"
Fantastic flashback scenarios ensue.
And apparently they "can't do multi-tasking jobs". Obviously what you get for using dogs instead of bitches.
This from Arabnews.com:
Bombay Customs Dogs Will Now Be Uniformed
Shahid Raza Burney, Arab News BOMBAY, 29 August 2006 - For the first time in the history of India, dogs will have the honor of adhore uniforms and be given ranks. Madan, Maya, Pinky and Sony, the four dogs in the investigative wing of the Bombay customs, will get uniforms and ranks and will patrol around the two Bombay airports in brand new uniform, a move to make them look distinct at night.
G. Ravindranath, the Joint Commissioner of Central Excise and Customs confirmed that he had sent a proposal to make uniforms as allot ranks to the dogs and said that the uniform could be a jacket with gold colored letter specifying Customs.This Ravindranath said would not only give the dogs a distinct identity, but would also act as a deterrent for the passengers dealing with drugs and smugglers could get jittery when they see these uniformed dogs around.
These four Customs dogs, Ravindranath said are handled by officials of the ranks of sub-inspectors and are on duty in two twelve hours shift and are trained to catch peddles dealing with drugs like hashish and cocaine, but can't do multi-tasking jobs. In the last one year, these dogs have helped the Customs officials to detect 19 cases of drug pedaling, Ravindranath said.

William Hill Benchland Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

|Red Wine
|California, Napa Valley
|William Hill
- wa93
Wine AdvocateTurning to the great vintage of 2013, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Benchland Series is sensational and probably the strongest wine made at the William Hill Winery in many a vintage. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 19 months in one-fourth new French and a small amount of new American oak, the wine represents 1,700 cases, tips the scales at 15.1% alcohol and exhibits an inky ruby/purple color, a big, sweet kiss of crème de cassis, licorice and loamy soil notes. The wine has fabulous fruit, a full-bodied opulence, but good acidity and moderately high tannin. Like most 2013s, there is tremendous finish and upside potential, so try and be somewhat patient, giving it another year or two of bottle age. It should keep for 15 or more years.
- ws91
Wine Spectator A strong effort, featuring a rich core of licorice-laced blackberry and wild berry notes, with touches of cedar, tobacco leaf and crushed rock. Firms nicely on the finish, where the tannins are a presence without being overbearing. Drink now. 1,838 cases made.
- we90
Wine EnthusiastThis expansive wine is generous on the palate in dusty tannin, currant, pencil and tobacco, more savory than sweet. Firm texture and structured acidity provide a classic edge to this 100% varietal wine that will do well at the table.
All sizes are 750ml unless otherwise stated.
Vintages are subject to change at anytime.

7 Things Salespeople Hate About Marketing Materials
Marketing teams spend a lot of time, money and effort creating materials for sales teams to present. Somehow, those materials can still be the bane of a salesperson's existence. If there is inadequate communication between sales and marketing, the materials end up not serving the needs of the people who must use them. Here are a few of the most common problems salespeople have with marketing materials.
1. Salespeople hate vague content
So you want to show the customer specs for a specific product and all you have are slides about the entire range of products, that somehow describe everything and nothing at the same time. The story of the company and the vision behind that product family is interesting, sure, but the customer still has no idea about what exactly it is you're selling. If you have to explain everything anyway, what exactly are those slides good for?
2. Salespeople hate unpresentable content
You wanted a slideshow. You got a PDF. Yeah, it's printable, but it's also a series of vertical A4 sheets that you're supposed to scroll through in Adobe Reader. The screen is horizontal. Presenting material that's designed for a completely different medium looks and feels unprofessional.
3. Salespeople hate marketing content that looks like advertising
Salespeople need materials to support them in sales meetings. That means materials that provide support and help in conversations. A picture of a product, sure. Technical specs, sure. A verbal description of the product or a sales pitch? That's what the salesperson is there for!
4. Salespeople hate waiting for content forever
If a salesperson asks marketing for a certain kind of materials and it takes marketing weeks or months to produce those materials, it might be too late. Sales is where the money comes from, so marketing should make helping sales their priority. After all, that's what they're there for.
5. Salespeople hate it when marketing doesn't understand the product
Salespeople are out there, every day, talking about the products, using the products, getting feedback from customers and going through use cases. They know what they're selling, inside and out. Someone who produces marketing materials for the same products might never have even used the product, let alone had a proper discussion with someone who uses it every day. This leads to materials with unessential information and critical misunderstanding of what the product is all about. This can create a real conflict between what the materials say and what the salesperson is trying to sell.
6. Salespeople hate it when they have to edit materials
So maybe the information in that slideshow is a bit off, outdated or lacking in some way. So, you have to modify or even rewrite parts of it. At that point, you'd be better off with a template, so you could just fill in the content yourself.
7. Salespeople hate it when content is in the wrong language
We're a Finnish company and most of our clients are Finnish, but not all of them. If our materials were all in Finnish, we'd be in a lot of trouble with our non-Finnish clients. Similarly, if you work in a country and a field where English skills aren't a given, just producing materials in English in the hopes of attracting international clients will most likely get you in trouble with many of your prospective clients. Marketing needs to know the market and produce materials in the right language(s) for it.

Marcel Proust once wrote, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." It's true, there are many ways in which we can see our day-to-day lives through new lenses. Sometimes, though, a change of scenery is just what the doctor (or health coach) ordered.
Traveling is a wonderful can opener for gaining new insight and inspiration -- especially when venturing to new terrain. The human brain LOVES variety and novelty, and getting outside your comfort zone has a way of expanding the mind and imagination. Travel opens back up the aperture of curiosity and possibility. It enlivens the senses and reawakens dormant desires and dreams while connecting us with the larger fabric of the world in which we are threaded. It can also help dislodge us, momentarily, from habitual patterns of thought and behavior.
I have a friend who is a travel writer. Her job is to explore new and undiscovered places, and she infuses this sense of adventure into everything she does. Sipping a cocktail, talking with restaurant or hotel staff, taking her time to savor every detail of dinner -- everything is an opportunity for discovery and awakening.
As Monsieur Proust points out, travel doesn't always require a plane ticket. Some of the best adventures can come when trying a new restaurant. Taking a back road that you've never driven. Getting lost in the soundscape at a concert. Resist the temptation to book your family's trip to the usual destination. Make a recipe from a culture unlike your own. Visit a new exhibition at the museum. Surround yourself with fellow adventurers who also cultivate a deep appreciation for detail, quality and the specialness of life. And maybe, if you can, get on a plane to some place you have never been. Come to see yourself and the world with fresh eyes and see where it takes you.

Reduction, theft or delay of luggage or any personal possessions and cash – This will ensure you for any things and possessions missing, theft or delayed whilst traveling. This type of insurance is quite comfortable to use whenever your destination location is too much and there's no charter flight. A great deal of luggage is missing in international airports along with also the airport operator reimburses luggage dropped by its own weight, not worth. In cases like this, travel insurance is ideal. Travel insurance is a form of insurance that provides coverage to people who travel to foreign countries on vacations or any business travel. This type of coverage protects you from losses as you're traveling.

In conclusion, it may be stated that travel insurance is actually an essential product throughout the world. Your personal health insurance is only going to pay your expenses into your state or nation, but not overseas. You will eliminate nothing by purchasing this type of coverage, but lacking the security of your trip insurance, you'll be very much out of pocket since there can happen many fiscal losses. Generally, medical care is quite costly abroad and by buying an insurance plan for your very modest sum of money, you're able to completely get relaxed.
A lot of people choose this sort of insurance, but not all them know what it is and the way to gain from it. If you understand about it and what's contained in, you'll have the ability to take advantage of your own protection.
Traveling insurance benefits change, all the insurance firms offer different policies with various advantages and rules which needs to be adopted if you would like the company to pay your own expenses. Those mentioned above are the most frequent ones. Read also about visitor insurance canada here.
Trip cancellation or postpone – Cancellation of a trip is insured by your favorite insurer if a trip is canceled for illness, death, poor weather conditions or other specific unforeseen conditions. After the trip is delayed business reimburses you for additional lodging or travel expenses.
Travel insurance is intended to offer any monetary benefits while traveling abroad or inside your own nation. The insurance policy may be gotten by dedicated businesses, in the time of booking the vacation, travel agent, booking agent.
Medical expenses or medical evacuation and repatriation – It covers medical costs incurred while traveling. Medical evacuation is precisely what it states; should you want to get hauled to a proper medical facility or to return home, emergency evacuation arranges this. Repatriation benefits pay the price of returning a deceased traveler's body back into the location of residence.
Travel insurance is exactly as with other insurance where you've got to pay a premium and receive all the advantages of this coverage. The premium could be a one-time payment or in installment depending upon coverage. If your coverage is just one trip insurance then you've got to pay the whole premium at once and in yearly insurance, then it may be payable installment too. In multi-trip insurance, it is possible to cover installment and take all advantages of insurance.

If you feel like your home's interior needs a facelift but don't feel like painting every room in the house, take a second to think about the trim. Sometimes all you need to make your home look new again is refreshed baseboards, crown molding, or accents that have been treated to a fresh coat of paint. Painting your interior trim can not only give your home an instant upgrade, but can absolutely transform the appearance of an otherwise lackluster room or hallway. Here are a few benefits to rejuvenating your interior trim.
Accentuates decorative elements– Interior trims, moldings and baseboards add architectural detail, and therefore interest and style, to your home. Nothing is more boring than a "blah" wall with no pizzazz, and the architect made sure to add some zip to your house as it was being built! Unfortunately, over time, these decorative pieces of flair can become faded, stained or outdated, lessening their visual appeal. Luckily, sometimes all it takes is a new coat of paint in a trendy color, or one that provides an adequate amount of contrast and drama, to take these design elements into the next century!
Instant upgrade– You can always tell which decade a home was built in by looking at the interior trim. Older homes tend to use dark or natural-wood stain on the baseboards, banisters, and moldings, whereas newer homes built after the turn of the millennium tend to stick with stark white against a beige or muted earth-tone color wall. By simply painting your interior trim in a color that is more modern, you can instantly take years off your home's life and make it look like a modern designer's dream come true!
Easy and affordable– It can be incredibly time-consuming, not to mention prohibitively expensive, to do a major overhaul and paint every room of your house. However, simply painting the trim is an excellent way to get the desired results of a fresh new look at just a fraction of the money and time spent on the project. You'll find that just giving your interior trim a fresh new look will get your home the same amount of attention and compliments that you would have received from a whole new paint job.
Total Package Painting can help you give your home the update it deserves. We are Shelbyville, KY's go-to source for quality painting, excellent customer service, and affordable pricing. We really ARE the total package! Contact Total Package Painting today about our interior painting services, including interior trim updates. We look forward to hearing from you!

Posts TaggedDashboard
The human brain really isn't very good at processing masses of abstract data…well, I know mine isn't, anyway. Brains can usually cope with a few things at one time ("must reply to that email once I get back from picking up the milk"), but when faced with a torrent of information, such as the web bombards us with, most brains start to struggle.
It is for this very reason that virtual dashboards have gained popularity. Developers recognize that even the most basic of web-apps, like a blog, can churn out a mass of data, which can only be seen with clarity if it is delivered in a human-friendly, visual format. Yet the idea of a personal dashboard, possibly the most useful matrix of this kind imaginable, still hasn't really taken off, despite the traction that services such as iGoogle, My Yahoo and Netvibes gained in their early days.
Perhaps the smartphone has shoved the dashboard into outdatedness and redundancy. Or perhaps the desktop dashboard format just needs some reinvigoration. If the latter scenario is the more accurate, then Dash wants to be that reinvigoration. It is pretty, well connected and dynamic — but is it good enough to be your new homepage?
Are you ready to have all your data in one place, so you can grow your business and take care of your customers? Are you tired of having to go to all your different web services to get to YOUR data? Then you need Leftronic, our sponsor this week, to make a graphical dashboard that'll show all of your team's data in one place.
Leftronic makes it easy to build a dashboard with your key metrics. You can be up and running and tracking real-time data in just a few clicks. Start with templates to quickly create dashboards that connect to the data sources of your choice, including:
- Google Analytics
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Zendesk
- New Relic
- Pingdom
- Salesforce
- Mixpanel
- …and more!
You can connect to all your data, no matter the source: whether it's in the cloud, on your server, or in your Excel spreadsheet. You can even your own custom data with Leftronic's API or Spreadsheet tool. Then, Leftronic has lots of widgets to display your data in insightful ways.
Leftronic was designed for large screens in mind, so display your dashboards on a big TV in your office or lobby, or next to the water cooler. Or you can just share your dashboards online with built-in unlimited sharing with read-only links so anyone can see your dashboards from their computer.
Get a Dashboard for Your Team Today!
Ready to get a dashboard to show all of your team's data? Then get started with a 30 day free Leftronic trial today! Then, you can keep using it after that to keep your team in touch with your business data starting at $42/month for up to 2 screens.
In this Quick Look, we're highlighting Dashboard. The developer describes Dashboard as a simple web based lead management application that allows individual or sales teams to manage leads. The simple user interface enables non-technical sales reps to be able to perform their job. Dashboard's form builder provides for a flexible way of collecting the leads. Web-to-dashboard, multiple lead submission via API, manual entry or even CSV importing. Close more deals faster!

Crab Apple Wine - Thirteenth Bottle (C4), 15th December 2012
Before the Christmas madness hits properly, we are spending the weekend in York. We are taking our last opportunity to visit Heworth Green before Rachael moves in to have her baby. Pop is currently in Missouri (though back next week) so it has been a quiet evening with Mom. This has involved eating partridge (without the pear tree) and teal duck, and watching a cheesy, cheap and entirely satisfactory 'Top 50 Christmas TV Moments' until far too late at night. The crab apple wine was the first of two bottles opened, and met with my mother's approval.

Therapy Dogs Serve Children with AutismBy Patricia Stokely on 11/01/2011
On My Mind: "I probably should be doing something else, but I have to do this first!"By Karen Pryor on 10/12/2011
I was catching up on the TAGteach list recently and discovered this thrilling news.
Carly Fleming wrote:
I just came across a website and blog by a professor of philosophy at Stanford, about what he calls "Structured Procrastination." I am a HUGE procrastinator and also a perfectionist (which is mostly what his blog is about). I came across an entry talking about to-do lists that had so many elements of TAGteach in it that I had to share. Some of the ideas he used were:
- Breaking things down into small attainable goals
- "TAG points" of 5 words or less (although some of his were a little longer)
- Physically checking off an item on the list (similar to getting a TAG or pulling a bead on the tagulator)
I hope someone finds this as interesting as I did. Carly
Yes, But Does This Work with Kids? How TAGteach Made a Difference at School and HomeBy Stephanie Tagtow on 09/01/2011
Karen Pryor introduces Stephanie Tagtow's success story.
I hear this question often: "Yes, but does it work with kids?"
Do you think of clicker training as something that's good for dogs and other animals, but not right for people? The principles of learning are always the same. The technology of training without punishment, and with a marker, works with any organism with a nervous system.
Adapting positive reinforcement training to human problems just requires slightly different methods. For example, you can tell your learner what you will click for. We call these special techniques for humans TAGteaching. We call the marker sound a TAG. We call the criterion being clicked a TAG point. Beyond that, the training is the same: being sensitive to reinforcement choice, breaking behavior down into successful units, creative thinking, and timing.
The outcome? Just what you'd expect. The learner is thrilled. Long-standing problems vanish, to be replaced with good new behaviors. Even the beginning teacher has success, so the teacher is thrilled, too.
The story below is a great example of TAGteaching—see what you think! Is there anything going on in your life that could use a little tagging?
The Clicker Trainer: Remembering Wendy Schnipper ClaytonBy Karen Pryor on 04/26/2011
A note from Karen Pryor:
Clicker training is not just about training; it's about living. When we teach clicker training, we want to see clicker skills "generalize," become so ingrained that the first thought, in any situation, is to think, "How do I use reinforcers here?" instead of reaching for the punishers automatically.
This shift in perspective can change the way clicker trainers act. Newcomers to ClickerExpo often remark at how amazing it is to be in a large group where nearly everyone is calm and friendly. I think the absence of ire makes us all feel safe, even the dogs (who lie down and go to sleep).

My deck includes the following spells:1 Strong1 Sprite1 Wraith1 Vampire1 Death Blade1 Spirit Blade1 Reshuffle1 Death Prism1 Dark Pact (item card)5 Major Torment (wand spell)I have no other cards loaded. Some help would be appreciated. Bug happened right around 8:15-8:20PM EST

dayerider on Apr 25, 2013 wrote:ok, so it's designed that way, ok, fine. Then it's working as intended, however, the card is then NOT doing what it says it's doing. I feel, any others will probably disagree, that if the card says it will add 100 pts, it should add 100 pts. How does 33 points REALLY overpower the spell? Even if you use (just taking numbers) +40%+25%+35%+25%+25%+45%, you'd still only get a total damage of 177 (rounded properly) and then only 88 pts of healing added. How does this overpower the card? That may be the theory, but I don't see the justification for it
Darth JT on May 11, 2013 wrote:It says it is adding 100 and it is, according to the spell you are deciding to enchant. Since drain spells do full damage of card and give back 1/2 health, it is fair to give 2/3 damage boost of enchantment and back 1/3 health as that would be conjunction of that boost and attack card. Now, if you really want to complain about this, Drain spells were unable to be enchanted at first, because of the heal. So, if you really want to be fair, I guess KI could make it go back to being unenchantable, but I like the fact that drain spells are enchantable and your complaint is is really unjustified. So, what is the justification of your complaint? Why should enchantments boost the damage and the health? Why should it give 100 damage and 50 health back when no other school gets health back on an attack card? You have to give a little to get a little and this is clearly something that is only a bug in your mind, but in mathematical terms, it makes perfect sense! DarthJT
Dr Von on May 12, 2013 wrote:It's because enhancements are halved on Death's drain spells.-v.90
dayerider on May 12, 2013 wrote:They're reduced by 1/3 not 1/2. If they were reduced by 1/2, that would totally stink. So let me ask this question then, do people really think death would become overpowered if it got boosted the way the card should be? Even with Colossal, it really doesn't make a big difference. That would leave out 91 pts of the boost. I would love to hear other death mage's opinions here, because I think death could benefit from the cards working as they should. Think of it this way, would people with Pyromancers think it was fair if when you added sun spells, it changed the cards effects to a DoT spell? or how about balance, when you apply a sun enhancement, it would change it to a "either storm, fire or ice damage"?If this card effected EVERY school differently, I would have NO problem with it. The problem I have is that it seems like KI think Death would become too powerful if they left it intact (either that or PvPers complained about it), which I believe is untrue
dayerider on May 12, 2013 wrote:It says it is adding 100 and it is, according to the spell you are deciding to enchant.it's only adding 67Since drain spells do full damage of card and give back 1/2 health, it is fair to give 2/3 damage boost of enchantment and back 1/3 health.Ok, but that would make sense ONLY if it boosted the healing part too. If I remove everything and do an attack of Wraith + Strong on a Lost Soul in Unicorn Way (which has zero resist to it), it gives me an attack of 567 and heals me for 283 HP. So where's the 1/3rd boost on healing going? Which of course goes back to my original comment of, this card is NOT functioning the way it is designed to, nor is it following the death school of thought that it's 2/3 attack boost and 1/3 heal boost that you claim it's doing. If they want to add 1/3 to healing in addition to the 1/2 damage as healing, then fine, it's boosting on both sides, but it's not doing that. Personally, I think if the card SAYS it adds 100, then it should ADD 100, and nothing less. Maybe it's just me being funny, I don't know, but it seems to me, the card says one thing and does another.this is clearly something that is only a bug in your mindOk, I'll grant you this isnt a bug, so much as a design action (I can't call it a feature).but in mathematical terms, it makes perfect sense!In mathematical terms, the ONLY thing that makes sense is 500+100=600, not anything else. I don't mind trading off, but my point is, and has been, that some of the benefits of the Strong spell card are NOT being followed when it comes to death school. If it would take 67 and add it to attack AND give 33 to healing, it would make a bit more sense, but it doesn't do that Personally, I just dont see what difference 33 points makes. As I stated in another reply to you, but more for general stating, the only real world time that 33 pts makes a difference is when you have the time to boost the tar out of the spell.
dayerider on May 14, 2013 wrote:not only would your suggestion throw the game off balance, but it would result in 1) the message boards being flooded with spam and tears, and 2) a lot of unnecessary nerfs.I wouldn't have imagined it would throw the game off all THAT much. Besides, from all the posts I have read, the game is already unbalanced like mad. It SEEMS that the game hasn't been balanced in a LONG time; Life has no good attack, Storm hits too hard, Ice has too high resist, Balance has no prism spell, etc. It just seems to me that Death is being penalized for its primary school effect. I enjoy playing Death, and it's my 2nd character. Maybe when I've played as long as some of you people, I'll be able to see a better/clearer picture than I do now.I will concede that if you have a high bonus to hit that the difference could get stacked high, but why should players be penalized for having a higher damage percent?Let me then ask this question. What if there was a way to keep the extra for damage only? For example, with Colossal, 675 Damage + 291 to health? This way, the DAMAGE gets the full boost but the healing stays the way it is now? That seems like a fair compromise to me. Thoughts?
Darth JT on May 14, 2013 wrote:Again, think of your math, because it is giving you the healing. 500 damage = 250 1/2 back health, correct?567 damage = 283 1/2 back health, correct? so, by adding in 67 more damage you are getting 33 more health, 67 + 33 = 100 How are you stating that health is not being given back? That is an incorrect statement and major flaw in your evaluation of this enchantment. DarthJT
MythWizardForeves on May 17, 2013 wrote:I don't really think this has to be changed by adding the extra 33 points, however it should at least say on the card what damage it will do. :P
dayerider on Apr 24, 2013 wrote:that's doesnt seem like a bug to you tho? The treasure card is supposed to add 100 points to a single spell. it doesnt say anything about "Add 100 to any one spell, except death which only gets 67 points". According to http://www.wizard101central.com/wiki/Spell:Strong , +100 to 1 spell. That should be ANY attacking spell, regardless of school. This is where I'd like KI to explain it further, because it doesnt follow the pattern that it should, and to me, THAT makes it a bug; it's working in a way unintended by the general explanation. it should add 100 pts, it only adds 2/3rds of it.

From the very first phone call (which was made while she was on holiday! That's dedication!) To the first visit to try on dresses, Nicola at George James Bridal was everything you would want and more when picking the most important dress you'll ever choose. She made me feel so at ease and comfortable right from the beginning. I described my dream dress and Nicola expertly plucked it out of the stunning selection of designer dresses, which ended up being the dress I bought, and I can't wait to wear it! The beautiful shop is booked for you alone to give you time to browse, chat, laugh (and cry!) together. That attention is just what you want and makes you really feel special. I cannot recommend them enough and they are definitely one of the best bridal boutiques out there!
