How to Decant Wine
Re-post from August, 2008
Last post was a little bit of History of the Decanter. Now let's talk a bit about "How to Decant Wine"
Simply put, "decanting wine" is pouring wine from the wine bottle into another container. Two reasons for decanting wine is to remove sediment from the wine you are drinking and to aerate the wine. Aeration of wine helps the acidity, sugar and alcohol to become balanced. This is commonly referred to as "allowing the wine to breathe". Red wines that have been aged for years, have a build up of sediment. Sediment, or potassium bitartrate (commonly known as cream of tarter), is formed during the fermenting process of wine making and settles to the bottom of the wine bottle. If the wine is stored properly, the wine bottle should be stored laying on its' side, tilted downward, so the wine touches the cork. While it is not bad for your health to drink the sediment, it may taint the taste of the wine. Better to decant. Young red wines and all white wines will not have a lot of sediment build up because of the short aging process. But, they still benefit from decanting because of the aeration that takes place during the decanting.
Before you touch the wine bottle to start to decant the wine, remember, the less you shake the wine bottle, the more sediment will stay on the bottom.
For decanting, you need: the wine bottle, a wine bottle opener, an empty container (such as a decanter), a wine glass, a towel and a light source.
Presumably, the wine bottle has been stored on it's side, so gently carry the wine bottle to the area where you will be decanting. Slowly stand the wine bottle upright, and if possible, let it stand for a little time to allow the sediment to settle to the bottom of the wine bottle. Carefully uncap the wine bottle and remove the cork. Smell the cork to make sure it's not musky or vinegary and check the cork for sediment. Take the towel and wipe the top of the wine bottle to remove any sediment or cork fragments. The next part is a little tricky. Turning the wine bottle around slowly, pour a small amount of wine into a glass, making sure you wet the entire inside neck of the wine bottle. This will remove any sediment clinging to the neck. Look for sediment in the glass. If any sediment is present in the glass, let the bottle rest so the sediment can settle to the bottom. If the wine is clear of sediment, you are ready to decant the wine. Most experts discard this first pouring of wine in the glass. Position the wine bottle in front of your light source. A widely used light source is a lighted candle. As you pour the wine from the wine bottle into the decanter, stop when you see the sediment start to come out. There should only be a small amount of wine left in the wine bottle that is full of sediment, and all the wine in the decanter should be clear.
You have just decanted the wine...salute!

Very helpful info! I once saw a show on TV where they demonstrated how to properly decant a bottle of wine... it was especially cool since they were doing it while standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris!
Great post!

Wow. That's a lot of information that I wasn't aware of. I'm also not a fan of wasting wine, but my $5 bottles don't usually contain sediment:) I wonder why one wouldn't just use a strainer to remove the sediment.

It is amazing how many wines benefit from decanting. Young wine needs the oxygen to smooth out the rough edges and as you say, old wine needs it to remove the sediments and blow off some of the "funkiness" that can accumulate over years in the cellar.
Great advice.
We have just launched our revamped website at www.InnovativeWine.com complete with a wine blog. It is a work in progress but a great improvement over the old site.

If you've surfed the website of an NHL team as of late, you've probably noticed the drastic change in site design. And if you haven't, it's coming soon. The site updates, some of which are a work in progress, are part of the league's move towards uniformed websites. All 30 NHL club sites will operate under the same basic format and share the same features.
Fans will still be able to enjoy individual team blogs, pod casts and video content, as well as view rosters, highlights and order tickets online. But, depending on the club, the move will either be an upgrade or in some cases a downgrade. Fans in Los Angeles, where the Kings were one of the first teams to make the switch, gave the new look an enthusiastic thumbs-up, with an approval rating of nearly 75% through an online poll at kings.nhl.com. Fans of the Rangers and Senators, two teams that haven't made the switch as of press time and currently operate multimedia-heavy sites, might think differently.
The new club sites will operate much like Major League Baseball's team websites, with a customized graphic at the top of the page with the team name, players, slogan and other fancy graphics. The menu bar will include links for tickets, team, schedule, stats, news, multimedia, fan zone, community and shop. A roving series of headlines will greet fans with the latest news, ticket deals and team shop deals.
"We remain committed to being on the cutting edge when it comes to offering our fans multimedia content, interactive opportunities and editorial insight. This new platform will allow us to maintain our leadership position moving forward," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said in a press release. Leonsis, the Vice Chairman at AOL, was instrumental in spearheading the project.
The NHL and Slingbox reached an agreement last week on the company's new "Clip and Sling" service, marking the first professional sports agreement for the controversial cable box, which allows users to access their home television from anywhere in the world, including laptops and cell phones. The service allows Slingbox owners to create short video clips from content on their Sling player and e-mail links to those clips throughout the information superhighway, including non-subscribers.
"The NHL has consistently been at the forefront of embracing new technologies to empower and grow their fan base and we are incredibly proud to have them as our first sports league partner," said Jason Hirschhorn, President of Sling Media's Entertainment Group in a press release. "Clip+Sling makes it extremely easy for fans to share a priceless moment with others, dramatically changing the way consumers socialize around TV. In addition, it enables content creators to build new communities as well as new revenue and marketing opportunities around their content."
The agreement is in line with the stance the league has taken on the very popular YouTube, which allows users to post video content on the web free of charge. Major League Baseball and the National Football League have worked extensively to shut down files that include game footage and other copy written material. Both leagues offer video highlights, pod casts and online shows through league websites.
Hand it to Electronic Arts, which finally delivered a next-generation console hit when it released NHL 07 last fall. The graphics were stellar, the game play smooth and the revolutionary skill stick gave users more control than ever before.
But fans will get an added bonus when buying the 08 version in September, as for the first time EA has acquired the license to use American Hockey League clubs for the first time. This, along with an advanced franchise mode, which was 07's weakest link, should keep the gaming giant one step ahead of it's competition, 2K Sports' NHL 2K8, next season.
Screenshots of the game and the new RBK Edge uniforms for the Blue Jackets, Bruins, Capitals and Hurricanes can be found here:

A while back, rumors were swirling about Jessica Simpson having bought her own engagement ring. Now that there's talk of she and beau Eric Johnson eloping, it's bringing it all back up for us…
And so we want to know — would you ever buy your own engagement ring? Now, be honest here. I know that the temptation is to jump in and be all feminist, like, "it doesn't matter who pays, as long as there's love, we both pay it anyway if it's financed [ed. note: that's actually a legitimate point], if I have more money I don't care," etc. etc. More
As you may have heard, Jessica Simpson is engaged to Eric Johnson. The engagement has been on since November, and now, Simpson is making remarks on the sly about the possibility of the couple eloping. In Women's Wear Daily, the entrepreneur/singer/reality TV star says of her impending nuptials: "No date has been set yet. We've both been married before. We're enjoying our commitment to each other. We want to take our time…We might elope if it gets to that point." More
Assuming that marriage were fair and equal, and everyone who wanted to get married could, and then you were one of those people who chose to tie the knot, would you try to lose weight before your big day? More
This week, Jessica Simpson announced her engagement to boyfriend Eric Johnson. While we're happy for Jess and unsure what this means for the future of magazine cover stories, there's one other major factor in this story: Jessica's dad, Joe. More
Popsugar reports that Jessica Simpson and her man-piece, Eric Johnson, ran into Simpson's ex, Nick Lachey, and Vanessa Minnillo while dining out in LA last night. The report says that the two couples ate next to each other for hours. … More
It took me a minute to figure out what was going on in this picture. At first I thought it was really bad Photoshop — like, Photoshop that gave Jessica Simpson an extra leg. But then I realized that it's … More
One of Vanity Fair's blogs at VF Daily is called "The Hamptons Report," and I promise you that you will not give even the remotest shit about anything it has to say unless you happen to live or summer in … More

You've done it, we've done it, everyone does it; a coworker drops a word we don't know, or we see a word we've never run into before, and we surreptitiously pop open a window and Google the word. In fact, we'd bet that Google has probably done more for vocabulary and general word usage than years of spelling tests and English lectures. Now, the world's unofficial spot spell-check and dictionary is about to get even better.
Essentially, Google has overhauled their word search so that it's a lot more useful. Now, when you Google a word, you get all of the following:
- A syllabic breakdown.
- A phonetic breakdown.
- The word's place in language (i.e. noun, verb, vulgar slang.)
- Its usage and definitions broken out by usage.
- Sample sentences.
- A full breakdown of the word's roots, as far as we're currently aware of them.
- A chart of the word's usage over the decades.
And, perhaps most importantly, although it goes unnoted, it looks like the little sound tabs you can click to hear the proper pronunciation have been expanded to all sorts of words. Including the obscene ones. Yes, we looked up all your favorite obscenities; not all of them are in there with a sound clip, but enough of them are that you should be able to have some fun with your coworkers.
Providing free opportunities to prank your coworkers and giving word nerds something to nitpick aside, this does promise to make an already incredibly useful online tool even more so. It's actually fairly wide-ranging and encompasses a whole host of technical terms, and can even offer, in limited cases, definitions of slang. And if, for some reason, Google has yet to add a word or slang term to its massive online database, well… you've already punched "define sandwich ninja" into a search engine, so you can learn about the noble art of stealing free food.

Ogden's Own Distillery said its latest creation, Five Wives Vodka, has been "general listed" by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The designation means that all state-controlled stores in the DABC system will be receiving Five Wives Vodka for distribution, the distillery said. The DABC initially tested the sales potential of the product in eight of its 43 stores.
"It's great to have it going to all stores now," said President Tim Smith. "For 12 weeks we've been fielding questions from people asking where they could get Five Wives, and now it will be available statewide."
Smith described the vodka as "distilled from a 50/50 blend of wheat and corn and filtered multiple times through active carbon. It is then blended with spring water from Ogden Canyon."
He said the distillery also is exploring distributing the vodka in Wyoming, Idaho, Texas and Oregon.
Ogden's Own Distillery describes itself as a micro-distillery that is the first such business licensed in that city since the 1800s. Its first product was Underground, an herbal liqueur available in 10 states.

Prospect Information
The NHL
Leading up to the 2012 WHL Draft on May 3, 2012 in Calgary, Alberta, the WHL will feature one-on-one interviews with top bantam age prospects. This week we feature Mathew Barzal, a forward with the Burnaby Winter Club Bantamm 'AAA' team.
2012 WHL Draft Profile – Mathew Barzal, Burnaby Winter Club Bantam AAA, Forward, #97
What do you enjoy most about hockey?
I love competing against other kids, and I just love playing the game.
How would you describe yourself as a hockey player?
I like to think I'm pretty smart on the ice. I try to make players around me better, and just do what I can for my team.
What hockey player do you look up to the most?
I would probably have to say Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Him being from Burnaby, I've met him a few times, he seems like a really nice guy, and what he is doing right now is just unbelievable, so I definitely look up to him.
What hockey player do you hope to play like one day?
I'd probably have to say Ryan Nugent-Hopkins again. He's so talented, he's smart on the ice, he makes other players around him better, he sets them up. So, if there is one player I could see myself as it would be him.
What are you goals in hockey?
This year, I would have to say winning the Western Canadians (Western Canada Bantam Championships, Spruce Grove, AB, April 5-8, 2012) doing everything for my team that I can. But long term, obviously to play in the NHL, and to do it not because of anything else, but because I love it.
What school are you currently attending? What is your favourite school subject?
Dr. Charles Best in Coquitlam. I'd have to say math.
What hobbies do you have outside of hockey?
I like to golf a lot in the summer, and I love to play ping pong as well. I play at the Vancouver Golf Club most of the time.
What is your nickname?
Probably Barzy, or Matty
What is your most cherished hockey memory?
I'd have to say winning the Western Canadians. You know, that was just such a big moment for everyone, and doing it the way we did it (OT victory vs. the Winnipeg Hawks, in Winnipeg, MB) with a bunch of guys that everybody liked, you couldn't have asked for it any other way.
What do you think will be the next big hockey moment in your life?
Short term, I would like to hope to win the Western Canadians again this year. It's another bunch of guys I really enjoy to play with. And long term, I'd have to say playing in the NHL would be one for sure.
Which WHL player selected in the 1st round of the 2014 NHL Draft will most likely play in the NHL next season?

FAIRBANKS, AK-Today was the first day of the FGA Amateur Championship. There were five flights in the men's division and three for the ladies at the Fairbanks Golf Course this morning. Adam Baxter was in the mix looking for his fifth straight Amateur title.
I was with a championship flight group that included Josh Osvold, Joseph Kim, Bruce Laiti, and Aaron Plentikoff one of the best drivers in Fairbanks. Plentikoff is in the second flight.
Kim though, did pretty good on their first hole. He had a nice shot to get out of the bunker, landing six feet from the hole to set up the birdie putt.
Here are your current leaders from this afternoon. Steve Gould led all golfers with a 76 in the championship flight. Connie Johnson had a 78 to lead the women. Steve Hallsten, Tony Graziadei and Bill Renfrow are tied for second with an opening round 81. In the men's first flight William Sunie and Ron Teel are tied at 82. Fran Westerfelt led the women's first flight with an 86.
The FGA Amateur Championship will continue at Chena Bend Golf Course tomorrow and ends at Northstar Golf Club on Sunday.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Terrible School. Mr Zamarripa is the principal 2013 school year. Mr Cash is my sons 5th work was under par and would not be accepted. I called the teacher and he declined to give me further instruction on how to do the assignment correctly during a window where grades could be reviewed. The teacher declined to give my child any further instruction stating he had already told the class what to do. Mr Cash reported my son should have consequences for not doing a good assignment, and getting a zero would be the result. Very punitive. Mr Zamarripa met only to state he would support whatever the teacher said. This, I feel is very weak leadership. Mr.Zamarripa must just want to be "buddies" with his staff. And this type of pleaser personaility is a great way of not listening. Unfortunately Ive now spoken with 2 other moms who pulled their children out of Washington. We had an advocate attend the meeting and her advice was to avoid this school. She's had a lot of experience with them. Washington is inflexible and I feel bad for my child for subjecting him to this school.
My 2 grandchildren went there and they took great interest in helping them succeed.
My two children and my two grandchildren all attended Washington School. The teachers and staff were great for both generations.
My son went there 8 yrs ago and it was a great school for him to get his foundation. I have heard from other parents with their children going there now, that it's still a wonderful school.
Why do you love Washington Elementary School? the admistrations and teachers make this school a great school for the kids and parents
Wahsington Elementary is a great school with a very eclectic base of Students and Teachers. They have an excellent special ed department and encourage parent envolvment. Both of my children go there on choice pass and love it.

I write poetry. I'm an angsty, depressed teenager. I used to cut myself but I'm stopping for the sake of a few good friends, and I'm keeping at it for my own sake.
I need an outlet for my feelings where no one knows me in person, because people have used my poems against me before.
I'm here for anyone if they need help, a friend,want to chat, or want writing critique.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Seeing as how its a start of a new week (I realize its Monday now), I see this is as a boost of morale for the US realms in that there are guilds here [and in Canada] that can could pull off the impossible.
All we need now is a World First from the Latin and Oceanic (unless they fall under EU server category) and we can have the very first and official Worldwide achievement that a guild from each server region obtained a World Realm first, or as I would call it:
" ACHIEVEMENT: Global First - "Around the World" = 5 World Firsts obtained from all 5 server realms."
And then fanfare, fireworks, flying murlocs happen all over Azeroth and Outland, with a special surprise in the form of the Maelstrom miraculously calming to reveal Malfurion Stormrage bowing and saying some congratulatory message.
Of course, it would be odd that Blizz hasn't thought of it, unless they have.. However, if it is possible, what could we expect?
And I only threw out that "Global First Achievement" because there's been an EU, an Asian, and now a *US guild with the World Firsts. If this happens, it would be awesome.
* I know Exodus would count but that situation arose and Blizz revoked their credit legitimately hence the asterisk.
I would like to hear the WoW.com writers/editors input on this "Global First Achievement" theory.

Once you play Arms long enough, you'll just know by instinct when your Overpower is up (every six seconds). Before you get to that point, Power Auras Classic is totally the way to go.

Minutes out of sight a journey never dreamt
Femme-fatale for the pert that draws near to it
Appealing is it work before the gloom's call
Of an intermit for a jaguar's travel
When is thy return to cure my ceasing heart?

MILWAUKEE (WRN) - A Milwaukee woman is due in court Wednesday on charges that she crushed a baby to death while sleeping for the second time in 2 years. 30-year-old Rose Prescott is charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the death of her 6-day-old daughter Ceianna Buchanan on March 8th. Police quoted Prescott as saying she was too drunk to remember the incident. Another of her daughters, 2-month-old Brianna Buchanan-Prescott, died in April of last year while they slept together. And a half-sister of the 2 victims, 5-month-old Cierra Buchanan, died in 1993 while sleeping with a grandmother. The Journal Sentinel said the state run Child Welfare Bureau in Milwaukee knew about Brianna's death but did nothing. And the case never came to light before, due to confidentiality laws. The state Department of Children and Families said it couldn't respond at the time because it was never informed of what was going on. A few weeks ago, both houses of the Legislature unanimously passed a bill to prevent such secrecy in the future. It requires officials to disclose certain details of deaths and serious injuries caused by child abuse. Also, the Journal Sentinel said Prescott apparently gave false job information to qualify for $1,300 a week in state funded child care. And after the most recent baby death in March, she reportedly went to work for several day care centers until she was laid off in September.

So I got a spam email of a spam post on my old livejournal from 2006. I started reading my old posts which were so mundane, however I couldn't stop because it was a trip down memory lane. I feel like I should capture more of the moments in life on here, not just Instagramed photos. Short posts about the week, things that inspired me or the random happenings that encapsulate life.
As a good resolution for 2013 and because I have a horrible memory, this will be my memory lane. Sometimes I misspell things so get over it. I doubt many will be reading this except me.
NYE is around the corner. We are going to some friends to celebrate. I need to go buy all the food items to prepare our fab Chex Mix recipe tomorrow while the Bears are blowing their possible playoff chances. Boohoo.

You say you recently got engaged. What's the lucky lady's name, and have you guys set a date for the wedding?
Her name is Pilar Davis. We want to do it the week after the Super Bowl.
How did you guys meet?
We met in New York. We were out dancing. I was just drawn to her. It was right after the Green Bay Packer [playoff] game [in 2012] from my rookie year and I said, "I'm going out because this was a huge win." I actually went out with Ahmad Bradshaw. We went to this spot in the Meatpacking District called SL. She was standing by the counter. I said, "Are you waiting for someone?" And she said, "Yeah."
So I didn't know what else to say after that so I started walking away. But my teammates, Corey Webster and Aaron Ross, made me go back. They were like, "Go say something to her!" And they were cheering me on. She thought we were all rowdy and drunk and she didn't pay us any attention. Then, later, I was waiting for Ahmad and she came by and we struck up a conversation. I asked her for her e-mail address because when someone asks for your number, it might be too personal and you might not want to give it. But if you ask for their e-mail address, they'll give it. I was right.
Did she know you were an NFL player?
No. Usually I tell people if I meet them that I'm a construction worker. One time my friend said he was an astronaut and I said I was a manager at Gap. All I told her was, "I just moved here from Arizona and I'm just trying to live right now." She's from Sacramento, and if you remember at this time, we had to go to San Francisco to play them for the conference championship, so if I wanted her to visit me while I was out there, I'd have to tell her what I did. So two days later, I said "Hey, I play for the Giants." She thought I meant San Francisco Giants. [Laughs] That's when I thought she might be a keeper.

QLogic Corporation Stock Downgraded (QLGC)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income increased by 315.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $33.32 million to $138.33 million.
- QLGC has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 7.57, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for QLOGIC CORP is rather high; currently it is at 67.60%. Regardless of QLGC's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, QLGC's net profit margin of 102.40% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $32.07 million or 56.25% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, QLGC has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 24.93% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.

Morning girls,
My plan is using the elliptical at the gym today.
What are your plans today?
I will be back to report my workout.
Back with personals:
Debbie - yeah, on the silver bling shoes! I couldn't believe an adult crying beacause she couldn't get in? I was like "REALLY"? LOL!
Amelia - hope you get your workout in. Hang in there! I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts & payers!
I just looked at my workout calendar, haven't had rest day since Jan 21 10 days ago need to take one soon.
I will be back later. Have a great Friday, everyone.
Good Morning
I fell a sleep on the couch last night and when I went t bed, I couldn't get to sleep. Mostly b/c the wheels started to turn. What's up with that? I guess it's natural to worry about your kids when you go back to work. DS was playing on my mind the most b/c he's such a homebody and he's so slow! I will never get him out of the house by 7:15 and then I thought he was going to have to take a bus to and from before and after school care, but I think they are located right in the school and that's a HUGE relief for me. I was all concerned about him having to get on a bus and know where to get off. I think I underestimate home some times.
I'm not sure what today's workout will be. Probably shoulders, bics and cardio. Good thing it's feb 1st, gives me a reason to clean up my eating. I've been eating way to much sugar lately.
Belinda**I don't know if I could get use to moving that much. Did the kids care? I think about hauling the boys in and out of schools but I think boys are easier going then girls!
Deb** this job isn't with the dealership. Can you believe she still hasn't called? It's going on two weeks now. Maybe she made up her mind but didn't call me. That's possible. Most places will call you if you don't get the job but I can see her bring to busy. I think I'm gong to enjoy this spot
Ameila** yeah it's the job that our friends suggested. It's a great company to work for. I only have to work with someone for a week so I have a feeling it's not that complicated!
I don't know if I told you guys that dh gave me a ring for Christmas? It was a new bridal set and way to big. We sent it back and the new one should be here today!!! I'm so excited!!!
Oh and we told the landlord that I wasn't comfortable with two men in the house and he understood. I think he might have known it was ridiculous!
I'll bbl!
Morning girls,
Its so nice to be off work today. The suns out but its freezing, bummer. I could really use a long walk in the park today.
On todays agenda in some weights along with a good cardio. I feel like getting in a good sweat. I also need to get some groceries <--thats how I feel about that.
30 mins of turbo jam + 30mins of super cuts done
I did X-train legs standing & already I'm feeling DOMS wanted to go back tonight & finish it up but decided I'll wait till tomorrow.
It was crazy here today my neighbor came by with her new Golden puppy so cute! My nephew came by so DH could give him a haircut, DS brought home gf's dog for the day & I tried to clean around all this! I finished up all my service reports today too Also ran to the store to get most of the stuff I need for Superbowl Sunday just need to pick-up some odds & ends tomorrow.
It's quiet here this weekend.
Belinda - Not sure if you know this but Turbo Jam was followed up with Turbo Fire but I like Turbo Jam better. Do you still go to doggie bootcamp?
Lori - I'm sure the 1st couple of weeks will be rough when you start work, but once you get a routine down it will get better. I would call the dealership & tell her your "taken" already
Amelia - It was so cold here today too & right now it's snowing I really can't wait to try Supercuts. I think it's in my rotation this week.
Waves hi to Kristin, Cookie & phatgyrl
Belinda, I was wondering about you and the dog training also. How's it going? What did you and dd do this weekend?
Amelia, saw you started a thread on WW. Great idea getting even more support. How's it going?
Kristin, you must be busy with the boys. Do you also follow football?
Lori, congrats on the job. Any change is hard but you can do it. Think of how much you already get done in a day - more than most ever will. I also need to figure in more time for actually getting out of the house and loading the car than I expect. BTW, I love hockey. Grew up with it and its my fav sport.
Phatgyrl, how's your weekend? Is it cold in Chicago?
Deb, bet you look amazing in the dress. That was a lot of dog business yesterday. Is it tempting you for when you return from your trip? To tell the truth, when I'm completely stressed at work, I think of just going home and walking the dog. Just thinking of it helps. Of course, I picture warmer weather!
Friday was a planned rest day. Yesterday burn sets: csb and managed aolhiit with new sneaker inserts. Seemed to help, since I am walking this morning. Hoping to get in legs today. Went to college hockey games the past two nights and today going to see Lincoln with dh, ds1 and his gf. Then they're staying for dinner and then the game. Of course, I should have been doing paperwork this morning but caught up w/newspapers and reading what every one else is up to. Guess I'm more nosey than work motivated.
Morning ladies,
Today is my DS's birthday. He is 24 today. Time flies.
Amelia - you have TJ?
Debbie and Cookie - we went to dog training yesterday. Dogs doing really well with training.
Today is a rest day. I will catch up w/persoanls tomorrow.
Good Morning
Thought I checked in yesterday! Oops! I was to contrary anyway...DH has a way of doing that to me.
Fridays workout was 45 mins on the TM and Amy bentos slo mo bics and tris. I went heavier with bics then normal. I bumped it up to 25 lbs dbs. I didn't think I would make it through all of the sets but I only dropped back down to 20's for the last 2 reps in the last set. My bics are still sore. Yesterday's workout was 25 mins run, most of crossfire and LBB standing working. Today I will do cardio and get a head start on this weeks weight workouts.
We went out for drinks Friday night, just three but I was so tired yesterday morning and dh didn't move until 8 again...it was 9:30 the morning before that. And this morning he was dumb enough to lie there again so the baby and I left the room again but not before I turned all the lights on!
Today I have a few things I need to do. We need to get groceries, laundry, workout and meet the sitter. I also wouldn't mind making a couple of things for dinners this week. Dh is off thurs and fri so he can handle dinner those days
Belinda** happy birthday to your son! I have no clue where the time goes either. DD will be 17 in march! And when I look at the baby, I know it's only a matter of time before he is going to school too. I don't know if time is going by faster or if we fill our days up with so much stuff, that it just zooms by!
Cookie** lol...I don't know a thing about hockey. And I also don't know anything about this Super Bowl stuff. DH doesn't even watch football but for some reason they all use to get together to watch the Super Bowl. Go figure. Anything to get away from the women, I figure
Ameila** nice workouts!!!
Deb** sounds like you've been busy. I don't have pop in guest anymore cause we don't know anyone...lol. I heard the door come open the other night and I thought it was DH's parents. Then I came back to reality. I will be very excited when family can come visit!
K...I will try to come back tonight!
Wonder if everyone is watching the SuperBowl?
Belinda, happy birthday to you and your ds. I say to you since you're the one who should be celebrated. Glad dog training is still going well.
Lori, any excuse to get together and party is worthwhile - even football. Are you all packed and ready for tomorrow?
Hope everyone else is having fun and doing well. Did bi and tris this morning and doms are here. Also got in a 5 mile dog walk with my new orthotics and so far so good. Highly recommend Lincoln - really good.

VOGA means fashion in Italian. It is no wonder why Ford designer Camilo Pardo , the designer of the Ford GT , chose this name when he introduced the upscale appearance package in 2006 on the vehicle named after the Italian fashion capital, the Mercury Milan . Since then Mercury has expanded the elegant VOGA line to include the Mercury Mariner crossover based on the Ford Escape .
Being an aesthetics package, the VOGA option is much more about design than function. In order to purchase the high-class VOGA equipped Mercury, future Mariner owners must first upgrade to a Mercury Mariner Premier, and then purchase the Moon and Tune package that includes a large panoramic sunroof and a seven speaker MP3 compatible sound system and much more.
Continued after the jump.
First impression
The exterior of our 2009 Mercury Mariner Premium with the VOGA feature package is covered in a bright white finish that Ford calls, white suede clear coat, a very chic name befitting such a stylish SUV. Due to the fact that almost all of the upgrades were made to dress up the vehicle, our Mariner handled like you would expect from a crossover. The seating position is high and the vehicle exhibits some body roll; however the new anti-roll bar and re tuned suspension do help to soften the vehicle's ride.
The VOGA package is made up mainly of chrome accents to the exterior of the vehicle. The 17 inch wheels with VOGA center caps are covered in the shiny metal, so are the roof rails, grill and badges. There is even a chrome panel with "MERCURY" stamped into it covering the rear bumper. The only indication that this is not your everyday Mercury is the VOGA badge found right under the chrome Mariner letters on the tailgate.
Inside the first things that you notice are the VOGA logos embroidered into the cashmere colored leather seats that are held together with ash stitching. The only other cue that this is an exclusive vehicle are the special dark colored floor mats, that just like the seats, are adorned with the VOGA logo.
There are metallic trim pieces framing the large air conditioning vents as well as the base of the automatic shifter. That piece looks very sleek and elegant thanks to a thick polished metal strip that runs vertically up the back of the lever. Everything else is either made from rough or glossy black plastic. The dash is made from dull black plastic, whereas the door pulls and center stack are covered in a slick piano black finish; exactly what someone looking to purchase a "fashionable" Ford would expect.
Our Mercury Mariner was equipped with Sync. Developed in conjunction with Microsoft, Sync allows the driver to control the navigation and audio systems as well as Bluetooth devices with voice activated commands. Even though drivers will never have to take their hands off the wheel to fiddle with buttons again, the voice recognition software does take some getting used to.
Unlike most modern vehicles with complex infotainment systems, the Mariner unit is very well laid out. There are a lot of buttons, but they are not overwhelming, instead the dark tones help all the controls to blend together nicely into one user friendly unit.
The Mariner felt like there was a small V8 under the hood because the vehicle had great acceleration off the line and felt like it was making plenty of power. Although, once the over sized four cylinder engine was pushed, either around town or on the highway, the sound it made revealed that it was nothing more a hard working small displacement motor.
For 2009 the Mercury Mariner is powered by a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder that makes 171 HP and 171 lb-ft of torque. The new power plant is 11% more powerful than the previous 2.3 liter engine, while increasing fuel economy, if only by 1 MPG. The redesigned engine allows this Mercury to do something that is unthinkable, achieve better performance and greater efficiency (19/26 MPG).
Quite possibly the greatest attributing factor to the Mariner's gas savings is the six speed automatic transmission. The 6th gear in the new gearbox is taller than 4th gear in the old four speed transmission; this allows for highway cruising at a lower RPM and therefore consumes less combustible.
What's hot?
The style of the VOGA crossover combined with the added power and economy makes this Mariner an attractive automobile. Ford also modified the exterior of the vehicle to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency as much as possible, by reshaping the front bumper and adding a lower chin spoiler, the blue oval aerodynamicists made the Mariner an efficient and powerful machine with a plush driver's compartment.
Mercury designers have also added small flaps in front of the rear tires, a first for a Ford SUV, which improves the Mariner's aerodynamics even further.
The keypad underneath the door handle is one of my favorite features on Ford automobiles. It forever eliminates the need to fiddle with keys when trying to unlock your vehicle, at least until they develop a smart access key like most automakers already offer.
The most visually interesting aspect of the interior is the contrast between the soft light surfaces of the headliner and upholstery and the dark charcoal black carpeting.
What's not?
Simply put, Mercury may be asking a little too much for this Mariner. With the base vehicle starting at $22,650 and our VOGA edition optioned north of $31,000, the price for all that style is a little steep. For only a few dollars more, buyers could opt for the Mariner Hybrid, a vehicle that starts at just over $30,000.
No VOGA for Alaska.
Ford, what's up with that?

Matthew Birt says:
Jorge Lorenzo wouldn't be fazed by Valentino Rossi's potential return to Yamaha's factory MotoGP squad next season.
Rossi is being strongly linked to return to the Yamaha factory squad he quit at the end of 2010 having won four world titles and 46 races in a seven-year period that was the most successful in the Japanese factory's history.
After a disastrous spell...

This will come down to one thing in the end. Sponsorship. Yamaha need a title sponsor and if Rossi can bring them that the the ride's his.

he brings sponsorship which yamaha don`t have and won`t get next season either.........what`s going to be interesting is the the reaction from the yellow cock wearing fraternity if he still doesn`t win
if he doesn't win its because lorenzo made the M1 into a one person bike and screwed the development

text: Lots of women writers have been publishing for decades, and many of them have been and are well-regarded and well-published. I think gender bias exists in forms that are more discreet and ingrained. I've had an incredible experience with Wild. It's been received warmly by critics and readers alike. But a running theme has been how many men have said something along the lines of, "Wow, I was so surprised I loved your book, because I'm a man." These men mean no harm—I don't take those comments personally—and yet the fact that they were surprised that they loved a book by and about a woman is an indication of the sexism women writers are up against every time they write. It tells me that women writers are still perceived as less capable than men writers of telling the big universal human story.

Taking a new look at three stations that adopted new approaches to their local newscasts over a year ago finds that "out with the old, in with the new" doesn't always sit well with viewers. KOMU Columbia, Mo.'s Executive News Director Stacey Woelfel says he still believes that social media can still play a positive role in newsgathering, but that viewers don't want their use to be so overt. "The tool got in the way of content that was perfectly fine."
