The Producer
Thomas Hine was originally from Dorset and came out to Cognac, aged only 19, in 1791. He joined a local Cognac firm, married the owner`s daughter and became a partner in the firm. Later on, the firm took his name to become Thomas Hine & Co.
Today, the sixth generation of the Hine family, cousins Jacques and Bernard Hine, continue the tradition of ageing and blending the finest natural eaux de vie. The firm is now owned by Angostura but its headquarters remains in the beautiful old riverside premises in Jarnac where Thomas Hine ran the firm 200 years ago.
Hine's acknowledged expertise lies in the field of Grande Champagne Vintage cognacs. Hine has an impressive collection of vintages, from the beginning of the last century, kept in locked cellars at the Quai de L'Orangerie. Hine also initiated the concept of making such rarities commercially available (in limited quantities) throughout the world.
Another Hine speciality is their concentration on the maturing of so-called 'early-landed' cognacs. This custom dates back to the 19th century, when they first shipped selected vintage Grande Champagne Cognacs in cask to Bristol, in England. Nowadays, Hine still ships some of its single vintage cognacs to the UK (and is one of a very rare few estates who continue this tradition) after they have spent several months ageing in new oak barrels in Jarnac.
Cool, dark cellars house barely a hundred barrels of Early Landed (a barrel is the equivalent volume to around 350 bottles). Here the ageing conditions are quite different from those in Jarnac as the temperature is low and remains constant (between 8 and 12°C) and the high humidity level rarely drops below 95%. These factors ensure that Hine's Early Landed cognacs are particularly light and fruity with very delicate oaky notes, and delightful aromas of fresh flowers and the characteristic orange peel - very close to the cognac's initial notes.
In Jarnac, the River Charente is close to the Chai des Millésimes — and this is the only point in common with the cellar conditions in Bristol: the humidity level is completely different as it is high, varying between 70 and 90%. The cellar is just two metres below the level of the Charente and subject to temperature fluctuations which can vary between 6.5°C in winter and 20.5°C during the summer. The ageing conditions in the Chai des Millésimes in Jarnac lend the cognacs greater complexity and structure; with a richer bouquet, more pronounced oaky notes and the much prized "rancio", so characteristic of old cognacs.
Rigorous grape selection, low yields, high quality control during wine-making, traditional distillation, extended ageing in seasoned oak barrels and an evaporation rate of 2 to 3% each year, result in small quantities of the finest cognac. In the 1990s, Hine released only a few thousand bottles of 1914, 1938, 1948, 1952, 1953, 1957, 1960, 1961, 1975 vintages (1957, 1960 and 1975 were particularly exceptional), whilst in the early 2000's vintage cognacs from 1978, 1981, 1982, 1983, were released.

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks that "Pick of the Issue" describes not only one of Emdashes's more debate-worthy features but also the entirety of Brijit's business plan?
Don't mistake that for a dis. Brijit (keep wanting to slip a d in there) certainly looks like a competent stab at the concept, and we wish it luck. I'm for any website that pays handsomely for reading and then writing about the experience. (That sector is having a hard time.) The concept, which the site describes as "great content in 100 words or less," er, fewer (sue me, I'm an editor), reminds me of two other wonderfully terse sites, 75 or Less and A Brief Message. Brijit may be especially useful for me—an occupational hazard of mine is occasionally forgetting that there are magazines aside from The New Yorker! (Emily doesn't exactly have this problem.)
I like the elegant way the three dots in Brijit's name are spun out to the three points of the rating system. Of the hundreds of New Yorker articles rated on the site, I could only find two that garnered three dots ("exceptional, a must-read, not to be missed"), neither of which appeared as a Pick of the Issue, as it happens. We too sometimes skip the obvious praise for David Remnick or Oliver Sacks in favor of other accolades, so it's not as though we disagree. To be fair, it does seem like an awful lot of New Yorker articles get two stars, which means they're "special, worth making time for."
Here's hoping that Birjit doesn't go the way of Plastic.com. (Oh wait, Plastic still exists.) —Martin Schneider
In far fewer than 100 words:
Thanks for the kind words and feedback. Please keep those cards and letters coming. (And for the record, we tried really hard to live with the more colloquial "100 words or less." But of course you're right, and we'll be changing it soon.)

For what it's worth, I can see the argument that keeping it as "less" is a better business decision. It's the way people speak.

text: DigitalCantor Dims Pen & Pad Amid Chaotic Complaining. But First, a Visit from CBS "60 Minutes'" Lesley Stahl.By Betsy Rothstein|November 18, 2011 ShareBy Betsy Rothstein|November 18, 2011 Share Politico's Jake Sherman reports today that House Maj. Leader Eric Cantor is considering nixing his weekly pen-and-pad for reporters and choosing select journalists for "smaller interviews." He writes that the possibility comes after a multitude of complaints on what Cantor's office is calling "mundane issues" from reporters, meaning media complaints about one another. He quotes a female aide, Laena Fallon, who Sherman peculiarly refers to as a "Cantor spokesman."All the complaining may end up doing all reporters who cover GOP Leadership a disservice. They range from print reporters arguing with TV reporters, TV reporters arguing amongst themselves, and radio arguing with periodical. This week, the Radio/TV Executive Committee pleaded with Cantor's office to end the pen and pads and move them to the Gallery. They feel that the pen-and-pad is biased against their medium.But even before all this formal griping, reporters have been noticing a diminishing of the weekly pen-and-pads for about a month. Cantor used to host briefings for reporters every week. Then three to four weeks ago, he suddenly stopped. Which was odd and noticeable, say Capitol Hill reporters who regularly cover him. This week, however, he resurrected the pen and pad on Monday, the very day that Lesley Stahl from CBS "60 Minutes" shadowed him. "Guess he wants to show her that he interacts with press," cracked one reporter. Scribes noticed something peculiar about the Stahl visit. While Cantor's office typically sends out the notice for the briefing one to two days in advance, this time they issued the alert that morning with just a few hours notice. "Seems someone in his office thought it would look good to have Leslie see him talking to reporters but didn't think to do it until that day," said the above scribe.Another Capitol Hill reporter remarked that Cantor was "more jovial than usual" the day Stahl showed up.The weather change has reporters talking and wondering what's happening with the House Majority Leader. For example, is Cantor in the dog house again? Is he trying to hide something? The last time Cantor stopped having the pressers was this summer when he walked out of negotiations with the White House on debt ceiling.FishbowlDC sought comment from Cantor's Communications Director Brad Dayspring on the potential shutdown of the pen-and-pads and asked the following: "Why are the reporters' complaints considered 'mundane' as stated by Fallon? And isn't it showing favoritism or exclusivity by choosing 'select' reporters for meetings with House Maj. Leader Cantor?"Dayspring replied to FishbowlDC: "We are weighing the criticisms and critiques of all of the various journalistic mediums and will work to find an appropriate path forward that best benefits all. A decision has not yet been made. The Leader will continue to participate in weekly press conferences when the House is in session and have regular interaction with the media. I don't think many reporters on Capitol Hill would or could make the case that the Majority Leader has not been among the most open and accessible among his colleagues in the House or Senate."UPDATE: Reporters who asked were informed that Cantor missed two pen-and-pads — one to vote in the Virginia elections, the other because he was traveling and not in Washington on the first day back in time to do it. Those who inquired were also told that the next briefing would be held on the 14th. Not that they shared the news, but CBS was prepared to shoot the pen-and-pad for a month. The reasoning why some reporters didn't learn about Monday's presser until Monday: Fallon was out on Friday. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kEQa6D copy Adweek Adweek

The restoration of Union Terminal is now just a year away from completion but crews are busier than ever. Colder temperatures are beginning to shift the work inside but there is still plenty being accomplished on the exterior before winter fully arrives. Here's a look at what crews are working on this month.
Upcoming Work
- Crews are beginning to clean the iconic tile mosaics that adorn the north and south walls of the grand Rotunda. The glass tiles that make up the mosaics will be cleaned using a mild detergent and the painted stucco of the sky and foreground will be patched and repaired as needed. Crews will simultaneously continue cleaning the plaster bands of the Rotunda above the mosaics.
- Historic light fixtures from the north and south ramps (now the Museum of Natural History & Science and Cincinnati History Museum, respectively) have been removed for restoration offsite. During their restoration, these fixtures will be updated with long-lasting and energy efficient LED bulbs. These light fixtures include traffic signals used to direct bus and taxi traffic through the ramps. Each light fixture has been individually numbered and cataloged utilizing a QR code system to ensure they are reinstalled in their proper location.
- Masonry work on the parapet walls over the railroad tracks in the rear of the building has shifted to the north side of Union Terminal. Crews are carefully removing the chevron-patterned brick details to expose the structural steel underneath. The chevron-patterned bricks are meticulously documented due to the complicated shape and position of each brick, allowing them to be reassembled properly.
- Crews are beginning to rebuild the fountain by pouring the concrete bowl of the fountain. The bowl will essentially form the skeleton of the fountain in preparation for the reinstallation of historic stone and terrazzo finish next spring.
- Due to construction activity that will disrupt public access, the Duke Energy Children's Museum is temporarily closed through spring 2018.
Number to Know: 15,000 – Approximately 15,000 tons of gravel is being placed back onto the plaza deck to create the base for the new landscape and hardscape (sidewalks, driveway, fountain basin) surfaces. This gravel is the latest step of the plaza waterproofing process, covering layers of fabric, tar, plastic liner and insulation board.

Amid the lingering euphoria of the sporting summer, with delirious London crowds cheering GB heroes on the tops of buses, asking necessary questions can seem like party-pooping. It was always going to be this way, from that moment the International Olympic Committee's president, Jacques Rogge, surprised Lord Coe and us all by pulling the word London, rather than Paris, out of his envelope. That the Olympic and Paralympic Games have been so great a success is testament to brilliant work by the venue builders and the organisers, although they were given £9.3bn to make sure.
The British teams took their wondrous haul of medals thanks to the dedication of talented athletes and, crucially, to sustained funding, £313m from 2009-13 via the lottery, to finance them to be professional, and surrounded by the best coaching and sporting infrastructure.
The gaping contrast between the marvellous, state-of-the-art provision for elite sportspeople – footballers, or one Victoria Pendleton – and the generally ragged facilities for the rest of the nation has become a sad, defining feature of modern "GB".
The majority of British people congratulating ourselves on "our" heady place in the Olympic and Paralympic medal tables, in fact do no sport at all. Sport England's latest official figures showed that 64% of adults do not play any sport even once a week. A similar large proportion, 63%, do not meet Department of Health guidelines for even basic physical activity, doing just something for half an hour five times a week, which includes walking or cycling.
It would not be fair to lay that depressing truth at Lord Coe's door had he not made "inspiring a generation to do more sport" the centrepiece promise of his Olympic bid, supported winningly by then prime minister Tony Blair and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat government since.
It was, we always knew, the promise which should never have been made. It sounds seductive, as if a post-Games feeling like this must lead to people rushing to do more sport, but no previous Olympic Games has ever produced that effect. The Western world has not become more sedentary for the lack of elite sport to watch in the stadium or on TV.
The relationship between watching elite athletes and being motivated to do sport oneself is complicated and under-researched. Certainly neither Coe nor Blair had researched it enough to justify their claim, which the IOC, craving deeper justification for its Games than just being the greatest show on earth, said was crucial to London's winning votes. Coe admitted later that little research had gone into the claim; in an interview with Owen Gibson in this newspaper, he described the British Olympic Authority's bid, which he headed, as "three men in a pub".
Blair actually went directly against the research his own strategy unit conducted for a 2002 document, Game Plan, which concluded that hosting mega events are good for national pride, but not "an effective, value-for-money method of achieving a sustained increase in mass participation".
Nevertheless, they bid, London hosted brilliantly, and David Cameron and Boris Johnson endlessly demonstrated why such events as the Olympics are irresistible to politicians.
Coe, did not take responsibility for making good on that participation promise; he landed the plum, £357,000-a-year (2010-11 salary) chairmanship of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sport England were somehow landed responsibility for delivering a promise they had no part in making, and now they have £1bn, over four years, a ninth of the budget for the Olympics' four weeks, to improve sports provision for the whole nation.
The reality, as emphasised by all the experts, including professor Chris Grattan of Sheffield Hallam University, is that wealth marks a divide between those who have the time, money, organisation and motivation to be active, and the majority who are not.
Despite the rush of spectator sporting enthusiasm now, a sustained increase in participation, as Blair himself discovered, will not be achieved because people watched others perform this summer. Increasing sports participation is a tough, social challenge which demands from the government, funding, belief in it, and sustained action.
There are no medals for it; no limelight to hog, just the proper improvement of people's lives and opportunities. Currently there are £6.25bn of spending cuts being imposed by the government on local authorities which own and run the majority of sports provision, which means facilities are being cut, not improved. There are well-documented cuts to disability allowances which saw government ministers booed even as Cameron made speeches about the instant difference the Paralympics will make to our attitudes to disabled people.
Had Coe, Blair and a succession of figures in Cameron's government not repeatedly made the claim, centre stage, that the Olympics will "inspire a generation," we could not point to it as a right. But they did, and so they must be held to account, and fulfil it. They owe it to a country that spent £9.3bn on a sketched-out bid, to improve sport for all with the same professionalism as they devoted since 2005, to making sure the elite few had the best of everything.

I've been working quite a bit on this new layout and adding images. I plan to clean it up more as time goes on. But for now the format is pretty much locked in place.
Please feel free to leave comments on the comic pages themselves, I'm always happy to hear the feedback of fans
Oh, and tell your friends, this is where the comic will be updated hence forth, FA will likely only get the line art.
Since it is challenging to juggle life and make a fully colored comic each week, please donate so I can be lazy and only draw art (and porn)

In this sermon from the Old Testament describing Isaiah's prophetic message of the birth of Jesus. We learn not only what his name would be but why and its heavenly meaning! This puts the real perspective of why we celebrate Christmas and keeping it all in proper perspective!
#peaceofmind #byyourselforalone
Isaiah 7:14
Does your disbelief in God prevent you from getting where you need to be? Can your insufficient supply of resources prohibit your awaiting destiny? In this continual series on Expanding Your Capacity, Dr. E. Dewey Smith teaches us that all things are possible for those who believe, when you have a full tank mentality. Overcome your disbelief and take your issues to God, when your journey's long but your tank's running low on fuel. He'll come from the top to the bottom to fill you up with overflow and increase your faith, just when you thought you'd exceeded your resource capacity. #NoLimits #Belief #FullTank #LiveBetter #HOHATL Mark 9:14-23 4/15/18
"Faith is the fuel that helps you close the gap from where you are to where you want to be." ~ Dr. Donald L. Parson Scripture Reference: Matthew 14:28-29 (NIV) 11/18/18
Isn't it true that when we experience frequent interference, disruption, or buffering from a source we expect to be constant, our human response shows up as aggravated, frustrated or annoyed? Disconnection from anything we value as important is known for producing feelings of defeat. In this revelatory sermon, Dr. E. Dewey Smith reminds us of where the victory belongs, as we re-establish a stronger connection with the Christ we may have lost touch with. If you've found yourself in a season of having become too familiar in your relationship with Christ, rest assured there's an Amazing Grace in this message. Get yours today! "Situations that cause you to disconnect from Christ are not meant for your destruction, but for your development." ~ Dr. E. Dewey Smith #LiveBetter #YearOfHarvest #ConnectWithChrist John 19:26 10/14/18
In this Resurrection Sunday Sunrise service we are reminded of the greatest comeback of all time. Dr. Smith juxtaposes Tiger Wood's comeback at The Masters Golf Tournament to Jesus' triumphant return after dying on the cross. We, like Tiger, are faced with challenges and people count us out. Jesus too was counted out. This message shows us how we are never out of the game if we focus on three key points found in this message. You will be blessed by this message and you will want to share it with your loved ones! "He rose so you can come back". ~ Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Jr. Scripture Reference: Luke 24:1-9 4/21/19

Email from Net Marketing reader In the short history of Web advertising, the development of the Web network may go down as one of the most useful and least understood innovations.
Web networks promise to give marketers a fast and easy way to plan an Internet ad buy. By combining dozens or even thousands of sites in a convenient, flexible package, these networks claim they can reduce the amount of time spent planning, negotiating and tracking ad performance.
Several networks have sprung up in the past year, ranging from DoubleClick to WebConnect.
While each one has its own bells and whistles, the concept and functioning of a network is simple: A group of Web sites sign up with the network. The network is responsible for selling banner space and in return keeps a royalty.
A simple line of HTML code on a participating site's pages directs the browser to the banner graphic. Banners are served up by the network, and the sites continue to serve up their own pages. The process is seamless to the end user.
"Using a network allowed us to know how specific banners were doing and make changes on a day-to-day basis," said James Cote of Cambridge Technologies, which used one network, WebConnect, on a recent campaign.
Web networks are not the same as Web rep firms, such as Softbank Interactive Marketing's Interactive Media Sales, which can combine sites into a package buy but more often sell ads for individual sites.
Which network to use? It depends on a marketer's goals. Here's a look at how each of them works:
Although DoubleClick offers only 60 sites on its network, it has more options to target end users, including site category, Internet service provider and SIC industry classification code of company and geographic location.
Peter Meluso, media director of i-traffic, a Web media planning company in New York, recently used DoubleClick to target Web users in four specific metropolitan areas by delivering ads to users that came from the corresponding area codes.
"We believe that if we bought a local city Web site we would get a lot of people that just wanted information on the city and not people that actually lived in the area," he said.
DoubleClick gets most of its geographic information from a user's IP address and domain name. Additional information, such as operating system and browser type, comes directly from the end user. DoubleClick uses Netscape cookie technology to determine visitor frequency and how many times a user has seen an ad.
According to DoubleClick, limiting exposure can dramatically increase click rates.
"After four impressions you are wasting your money," said company CEO Kevin O'Connor.
The Commonwealth network contains thousands of smaller, emerging sites.
"We support Web sites that are the personal creations of artists and writers," said Greg Stuart, who until last month was exec VP-marketing for the Commonwealth, a unit of Interactive Imaginations, New York. "Most of these sites would not be able to get advertising on their own, and ad agencies would have a hard time keeping track of and contacting most of them."
Commonwealth has 20 separate channels of content, including music, sports and health.
Quaker Oats Co.'s Snapple recently used the network, selecting hundreds of sites that would best fit into the Snapple campaign. After the first week, sites that were performing poorly, as measured by click rates, were replaced with sites that were bringing higher rates.
One drawback to the Commonwealth concept: Many of the sites are so small that they don't get a lot of traffic. Marketers looking for mass exposure won't find it here, but those wanting to target a specific demographic slice would do well.
WebConnect from Worldata allows advertisers to select sites by content modeled after SRDS categories.
"Our job is to bring targeted users to the advertiser; we are not waiting around for all the psychographical data of every user to be available," said Roy Schwedelson, president of WebConnect.
For example, if an advertiser wants to reach golfers, the WebConnect network has more than 30 golf sites to choose from. An advertiser could select all 30 and "move impressions around to the sites that are scoring higher on a daily basis," Mr. Schwedelson said.
Other networks include Burst! and the Media Express Network.
The Burst Network, with 625 sites, has 32 different subject categories.
"We are very strong in travel, computers and technology and are adding additional sites each week that will help us cover every special interest or hobby that is represented on the Web," said Jarvis Coffin, president of Burst. A unique feature of Burst is its ability to allow member sites to increase traffic by trading links with other sites on the network.
Another site, Media Express, is made up of more than 100 local and alternative newspapers. Advertisers such as Bell Atlantic and Nabisco have used Media Express to target specific geographic areas.
Media Express also offers a feature that it calls "contextual targeting," which allows advertisers to select the editorial section where they want their ad to run.
One feature all the networks have in common: good reporting. All provide advertisers with information that includes click rates so banner effectiveness can be measured usually online and in real time.
i-traffic's Mr. Meluso said tracking allowed him to "see how the buy was doing on a day-by-day basis including impressions and click rates. We were not only able to report back to the client, but to make changes and prepare for the next buy."
Ad pricing increases as more targeting takes place, but at a cost-per-thousand ranging from $12 to $70, networks are still competitive with super sites.
"It takes some of the guesswork out of selecting sites," said Sarah Kim, account executive with Blue Marble Advanced Communications Group, New York. "The ability to target your message and then get reports makes it easier and in many cases more effective than selecting sites one at a time."

All the Bookshops Who Independent, Throw Your Hands Up at Me
Written by
Jamie Fewery
on Tuesday the 28th of September 2010
This is a piece I wrote some months ago about bookselling. Makes a change from short stories and is particularly relevant to any indie publisher, or anyone who likes to buy books. I reckon so anyway.
There is an image of the independent book shop.
Wooden shelves, leather bound volumes, classical/jazz music, books so
high you need a ladder to get at them, a doddery old proprietor (or a
drunk Irishman) and dust. Oh so much dust.
Perhaps it's a reasonable and working stereotype. Alas, I wouldn't
know as the only independent bookshop in my local shopping town closed
down some years ago to make room for what will probably become a
carpark. Furthermore most indies I visit don't conform to this idea at
all. Some are modernised, some disorganised, some brilliant and some
complete crap.
Regardless of the standard of the independent, the idea of them as a
foundation stone of British bookselling makes them worth preserving in
the eyes of many - witness several recent articles in
The Bookseller
about how we can all strive to keep them going.
I happen to be one who totally agrees that independent booksellers
are both brilliant and vital. But there exists no situation whereby a
poor outfit should be kept alive for no other reason than its lack of
affiliation with a major chain. Furthermore, if consumers are so fervent
in their desire for indies to stay alive, then they must back up their
ideals with their wallets.
If you will go around espousing the values of the independent, whilst
vehemently slagging off Waterstone's or Amazon then I hope you are
buying from an indie, even if it's not the most convenient option and as
a rule far less easy on the wallet than buying from a chain.
My own opinion is that if we are to have a rich and competitive book
retailing environment then indies must stay, but so must chains. The
industry has been damaged badly by the decline and fall of Borders as it
provided a range not found in most provincial stores. To lose
Waterstone's would be catastrophic.
As such I make a point of using an indie if it has the book I am
after, if not I'll use Waterstone's. I never use Amazon and never will
until I can be suitably convinced that they manner in which they conduct
their business is not extremely damaging to an industry that is
becoming increasingly bossed around by its tactics. The same goes for
supermarkets (witness my previous post about business and art for
elaboration on this idea).
As with any industry based on purchasing a product, comparisons can be made between book buying and food consumption.
If you are determined to stand against battery farmed chickens then
you don't buy them. They are more readily available (particularly in
smaller supermarkets), cheaper and certainly more abundant. However if
you are to have a principle, then you stick to it. The same is true of
any food-based lifestyle choice; a decision is based on what the
individual sees as right and good.
The comparison illustrates a point about making a commitment and
sticking to it. Not making one for the sake of sounding liberal, artsy
and cool, yet continuing to take the easy route.
I recently commented on an article about independent bookselling,
saying that the power is in the hands of the consumer and I firmly
believe that stands true. If you want your high street to have a
bookseller then use them now, because at some stage it will be too late.
Take the choices you make concerning food, beauty products and suchlike
and transpose them onto your book buying habits. It will more than
likely mean taking a hit in the wallet, but you will be preserving an
industry worth preserving.
Then again if you genuinely don't care then you should in no way be
made to support the indie. Personally I feel the importance of the
independent lies not so much in their quaintness, but in their spirit.
An independent is governed only by what they feel they should sell.
Crafty store layouts, designed to get you buying rubbish you neither
want nor need are not part of their tactic and for that reason alone I
prefer them to Tesco. Furthermore they treat their product with some
respect, as if it has some value beyond what goes in the till.
The state of bookselling to come is being determined right now. I
believe it is wrong to say that it doesn't matter if independents die.
If they do then we as a purchasing populous leave ourselves open to
dictation from internet and megastore monoliths with an agenda beyond
selling something that is decent and engaging. I would love for another
independent to open near me. Certainly I would continue to use
Waterstone's as I feel they are important as a company, but competition
brings out the best in everyone.
There is a growing appreciation of the job of the independent
bookseller, just as there is with market traders and specialist
retailers. But that appreciation means nothing if it's just middle-class
dinner party hot air and so fails not make the transition from preach
to practise.

Video Preview of The A-List and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
5 Reasons to Love New "Housewives" & 1 Reason to Fear Them
Mark your calendars Housewives fans! October is going to be a big month. Staring Oct. 4, Logo will bring The A-List: New York into our lives, a show the LGBT network describes as "Real Housewives, with balls." You can think of it as: The Gay Real Housewives. Then on Oct. 14, the rich and wannabe famous who call 90210 home will premiere on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Feeling Housewives fatigue? Here are five reasons to suck it up, and one reason why we should probably try our hardest to back away from the TV.
- New lingo: Based on the promo, the stars of The A-list love to say things like "power gays" and "taste makers," and we'll have to find a way to turn Beverly Hills housewife Lisa VanderPump's last name into some sort of verb.
- Equal opportunity: Now gay people can relate to normal people from New Jersey who hold their heads down in shame as reality TV perpetuates the worst stereotypes about them.
- It's like time travel: Two of Paris Hilton's aunts star on the Beverly Hills version, so if you ever wanted to know what lies ahead for Paris after her youth subsides, they offer some insight. Paris bears a striking resemblance to her aunt Kim, especially.
- There are actual rich people: While past Housewives may have ruined the fairy tale by filing for bankruptcy, we have some bona fide wealthy people on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. There's Kelsey Grammer's soon-to-be-ex-wife Camille, and a member of the "Maloof Family dynasty," which owns the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, among other things.
- More snobby mottos: Sayings we can add to The Countess's "Money can't by you class" include: "The A-list doesn't have to do with money, it has to do with access." And, "If you don't have a pot to piss in, you probably shouldn't be there." Whatever that means!
And one reason to change the channel: More of the same. If you've had your fill of people sporting fillers, Botox, and spray tans running around getting in nonsensical fights, trash-talking each other, and spouting off self-aggrandizing statements, both versions fail to offer something more.
Check out The A-List promo above, and to see the Beverly Hills preview, read more.

James asks an important question. What causes fights and quarrels among you? It is certainly a relevant question. It is as relevant today as it was when James wrote his letter. There is an attack om marriages! On family relationships! Amongst friends and comrades! There even are a variety of conflicts within churches! Conflict may be one of the biggest causes of emotional distress: Fear, feelings of inferiority, loneliness, lack of purpose and grateful, joyful living! Conflicts of various kinds may be one of the main causes of depression and burn-out!

My latest Philly Inquirer column has published, a rewritten for general newspaper readership version of my "BAND OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS" personal blog post now focused on Stage IV cancer patient/survivor bonding, across cancer type, no matter what the ribbon color (!!), using early on-set/young age metastatic CRC as an example to help bring awareness in a major newspaper we exist! (a good reason to share via email or on the social media of you choice, we need that awareness!).
The COLON CLUB is prominently mentioned & featured!
I loved being given the opportunity to speak to the general public about how incredibly special and important Stage IV cancer patient/survivor bonding is – something that most of the general population probably does not realize and if they do, have trouble fully understanding.
Hopefully the average reader now better understands the relationships in our general cancer community because I think that bonding should be more widely discussed and known. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/diag ... sters.html

The Bitters - Yes is IV
I doubt that you will see or hear another band quite like the Bitters in this day and age – they combine punk rock energy with free jazz, Frank Zappa-level musicianship, a bit of heavy metal and Rush-styled prog-rock. Not something that you stumble across every day at your local dive bar! And it is all instrumental! They are incredibly tight-knit, playing together and off of each other, working with dynamics, starts'n'stops and time changes to keep each tune varied and interesting.
"Led" (I don't know if there really is a "leader") by Jeff Murphy on guitar (who also plays bass in local swingin' surf/instrumental combo Thee Swank Bastards) along with Vinny Moncada's flying fingers on the bass, and Frank Klepacki's stompin'n'intricate drums, they flail through nine numbers on this disc. Definite Zappa influences in titles like "Waltz of the Bow-Legged Dwarfs" and "TV Dinner For the Dogs", along with Bastards-styled humor with "Aflatulent" and "Diarrific".
Wild stuff and a bit challenging and jarring - and not always something you are looking to hear while having a drink at your local punk rock gig - but impressive and worth checking out.

I Am Bipolar vs. I Have Bipolar vs. Wavering Terminology of Disease
This past week was everyone's favourite holiday, Mental Health Day. It's that one day of the year where all flavours of crazy get to openly talk about stuff on the news and everyone pats themselves on the back for how far we've come and how there's totally no stigma whatsoever anymore and treatment is there if you want it. And then the next day we can all go back to the reality of the situation.
My reality, which I've openly written about on here before, is that I'm bipolar. I tend towards depression, which is why I was initially misdiagnosed and treated for unipolar depression. That triggered a pretty massive mania, which messed up a lot of things in my life, but got me the right diagnosis. When I'm at my worst, when I hit absolute rock bottom or soar to Himalayan heights, I get the fun of what are referred to as 'psychotic features', too. If you ask me my full mental health diagnosis, my answer is always 'I'm Bipolar I with psychotic features'.
Of course, reading through all the many posts that came out on the aforementioned holiday, it seems that I'm in a minority with that. There are plenty of bipolar folks out there, some with the same diagnosis, but there seems to be a backlash against the 'I am' part of my statement.
It seems the more popular choices are to say 'I have bipolar disorder' or 'I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder' or 'my diagnosis is bipolar disorder'.
It's a subtle difference, but an important one.
While I could easily say bipolar is something I have or have been diagnosed with, like you would say you have or have been diagnosed with arthritis, it doesn't seem quite right for me. To me, bipolar is the fundamental description of my brain. It's not an ailment, it's part of who I am. Without bipolar, my personality, my achievements, my life would not be what it is.
I am bipolar.
It's also acceptance that it's not something that will ever go away. While medication can keep me stable, balanced carefully between depression and mania, it will always be a balancing act. I'll always be up there, teetering away with the risk of tipping to one side or the other. One combination of medication might work for years, and then stop working. Something else might change that makes it impossible to take those medications. Underneath all of that, I'll still be bipolar.
Right now, I'm in one of those teetering stages. After giving birth, I've had to change my medication. What was working before I was pregnant, and through part of my pregnancy, no longer suits me. It makes me very drowsy, which was great for my occasional insomnia and pain issues, but not great when you have a toddler. So with the depression lingering around, I went to a different medication. It didn't work. I switched to another, and it gave me unacceptable side effects.
Today, between when I started writing this and when I'm now finishing it, I had another appointment to discuss my medication. Bipolar depression isn't an easy thing to treat, especially when sedation has to be avoided. The two-page list of medications I've tried in the past only complicates things more. While I'm at this stage, though, we have the ability to try things out. I've been in situations so dark there hasn't been that luxury. I've been at points where hitting things heavy is the only choice, and the only way to keep me alive.
I am bipolar because I'll always be bipolar. There will never be a day where I wake up and no longer have it. There is no hope for a cure. And, honestly, I wouldn't want it if there was. Because I am bipolar. It's not a disease or a disorder or a syndrome. It's a whole package of traits that I wouldn't want to give up, a club whose members I am proud to stand with. It's who I am.

Evidence of Life
Probably one of the more frustrating obstacles that arises in life is uncompleted tasks. Children certainly don't allow for much to be completed or stay completed. I know I will never be caught up. I don't think about that much ever anymore. I have moments, but the vision of the what we are doing usually is in the forefront. Raising a family is something that will always require maintenance and upkeep. You don't just mow your lawn once and you are done. It usually is a weekly task. Those daily and weekly task give us purpose and meaning.
I can look around at all of their beautiful signs of life around are home and can be brought to tears. When I look at them I think, "I believe in something greater than myself."
Food. One of the biggest daily necessities. Their lives revolve around food. I have many that ask first thing in the morning what we are having for dinner that night. I have some that want to bake everyday. Lunch is usually something that makes me pause. We have been doing school and chores all morning and then we pause to look at each other. I set out 9 lunch plates everyday. At one time, I only set out 1 plate. Funny. These really are the times to remember.
Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House. I went right over to Barnes and Noble and bought it. I poured over the laundry section. I always have laundry to do. I hope I have laundry to do for many years. Their clothes remind me of the day. They remind me of how chubby and tiny their little bodies are. I smile at their favorite shirts. I cringe at the certain pieces that I don't prefer, but THEY LOVE. Even that though, makes me smile.

Lindsay, I so appreciate you taking the time to write this post and share it publicly. As a young Catholic mother on my own in nearly every way, you encourage and inspire me in my vocation more than anything else in my life. I am not exaggerating or just trying to flatter you. I believe you have a true gift from God to teach and help us fellows mothers to see the beauty and value in our vocation, in our children and home-making. I have been struggling so very much with trying to have everything together and it is EXHAUSTING. and at night, my heart is in torments with guilt and sadness that I wasn't able to spend more time with my children. I am trying to find the balance between being responsible with household chores (and not lazy) and knowing when to say stop and just be with them. I would just be with them all day if I could!ReplyDelete
If I may humbly suggest... I think you should write a book! I would buy it in an instant. Or perhaps some other avenue where you are writing posts like these and helping us other moms. Of course, whatever is God's will, perhaps you could just pray about it and discern.
Every other blog I've ever read on mothering and especially,sadly, catholic mom blogs have a lot of negativity and complaining about children and treat them with rudeness and sarcastic behavior in their writings. It is very sad to me. The world is telling us enough that children are no good. Satan is saying it enough. How I wish more mom's wrote with your perspective or I should say in their own way but from a heavenly perspective.
Forgive any of my rambles that don't make sense. Im going through a rough patch in my life and your words are like honey to my soul. I just wanted to let you know that what you write, matters so very much to me and you bring me closer to God and inspire me to be a saint in my mothering vocation. Thank you beyond words!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful outlook of motherhood! It really is uplifting. I could come back again and again to re-read your true words, especially on the rough days.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
This was a very lovely reflection. Thank you for sharing this Lindsay!ReplyDelete
I only have 5, and I feel like all I do is feed people, constantly. If everything else in their day goes poorly, if they have a full belly, then it's ok. Something about the comfort of knowing they won't ever be truly hungry. I try to make sure they realize what a blessing that is. I love the assembly line pics of sandwiches!ReplyDelete
.... HOW DO YOU GET THEM TO ALL EAT SALAD?!!ReplyDelete
And, amen to what everyone else was saying!!!
Lindsey, thank you. I carry your words with me throughout many days. I too believe that we should look more closely at the beauty around us in our children and that which they see through their eyes. Thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom with us. God bless you!ReplyDelete

I seldom if ever comment - but what the above commenter said - You are sooo positive. Personally, I struggle with the positive. It is so easy to not look at our blessings but our struggles. Thank you for pointing out the blessings in the every day. And, man, I wish I wish I loved laundry. It is the one part of my week that I view as complete drudgery. :-)ReplyDelete
Lindsey, you are a gift to all moms out there, but especially young Catholic moms of many. I have 6 8 and under, and your words manage to float around my head during the day while I'm caring for my children. Thank you for filling my head with positive thoughts that make me appreciate my children all the more.ReplyDelete
And, incidentally, just how do you get all of your kids to like/eat the same exact meals for lunch?! I'm pretty consistent with dinner --- everyone gets the same, but lunch is a pickier operation!! Kudos to you for running a tight ship ;)
I love laundry too! You are so good at finding beauty in the mundane! Please write a book!!! :) I would love to read it. Thanks for keeping us mother's inspired!ReplyDelete

I agree with the others - thank you for being positive without painting a picture that your life is all happy-happy all the time. Your kids will TREASURE this blog when they are old enough to read it!! (I presume you are primarily writing for them, yes? What a TREASURY they will have! Your blog inspired me to create a journal for my own kids. Unfortunately since its on paper it doesn't have the fabulous pictures... but I had to be real about what I would actually stick with. Kids have "selective rememberings" and my own brother grew up only remembering the negative. I had to give him a "pep talk" as a grown up and remind him of all the FUN we had. His response, "Wow, I FORGOT about that! You're right!!" Well, yeah. So your blog is just fabulous - you will remind your kids of the love and the beauty. Its so easy to just remember the negative / things that bugged us. I know I already said it, but -- this blog is a GEM for your kids!!ReplyDelete
Your blog makes me want to be Catholic...and have more kids!ReplyDelete
I am re reading this post. It was that good. Please write a book. I am a calendar nazi too...maybe I should loosen up. You actually had not much on your calendar in relation to the number of people in your fam...impressive!ReplyDelete

Dear Lindsay, thank you for sharing your life with us. I look forward to every post you write. I have learned so much from you as a mom. I hope you are not totally devastated by your little girl's condition, I pray for this when your family comes to my mind. These Bible verses came to my mind when I was thinking of you, maybe they will encourage you a bit in this dark valley you are going through. "...I will be with him in trouble..." Psalm 91:15. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" Jeremiah 29:11. Love, Ivanka from UkraineReplyDelete

After a year of legal clarity up in the air, the status of FanDuel and DraftKings became more solidified. Confidence is high to keep growing in 2018, as both sites are quietly getting back to advertising and spending on products within their sites. Prize pools remain enormous, and sites are continuously adding spots. We saw FanDuel launch their PGA product, while recently DraftKings went into Euro Basketball. Daily Fantasy Sports has gotten back on path, but caution still needs to be had.
A push for a third site in the daily fantasy world continues to be between Yahoo and FantasyDraft, yet FantasyDraft has garnished a lot of interest around the industry over the last few months. As FanDuel and DraftKings continue to dominate the industry, growing frustration with issues like late-swap, rake, and product performance have been voiced loudly. FantasyDraft has taken notice of those issues, and worked to incorporate fixes into their product. While the legal issues were in 2017, satisfying the current players needs to be a priority in 2018.
Minor sports continue to make appearances in DFS, as E-Sports, MMA, NASCAR, Soccer, and Canadian Football are having steady contests put out at a weekly rate. While the prize pools cannot rival the major sports, there is something for everybody when it comes to daily fantasy. This is a positive sign for new and old users who want to learn something new or play what they know. In 2018, we will be partnering with Lineups.com to provide machine learning projections based in data science. Lineups.com provide breaking NFL depth charts as well MLB starting lineups each day as well. You will be able to purchase their premium projection in our lineup optimizers.
2018 should see much of the same from the last few months, with states pushing new regulatory bills across to legalize and control daily fantasy, but not much movement has been made in states that have been ineligible from the beginning. DFS is in a much better spot than where it was at this time a year ago.
The Cafe team has been entrenched in fantasy sports for over a decade. Since the rise of daily, our team's success has translated into millions of grossed dollars won and an unprecedented number of Top Accuracy awards on Fantasy Pros. The daily fantasy sites featured on dailyfantasycafe.com are legal to play on if you are located in the US & Canada. Our "Top Rated" sites will pay out an average of over $15 million each week throughout 2015. We love season long, but the future may be in daily. Daily Fantasy is exponentially more fun than season long fantasy football, fantasy basketball, fantasy baseball or fantasy hockey, simply because you are able to experience a draft every day you play.
When I first jumped into playing daily fantasy football, my primary concern was whether it was legal and I wanted to be 100% certain I would get paid when I won. I have a poker background and know what it's like for overseas companies to close up shop and take my account balance with them to Europe. It wasn't a good feeling. "Trustworthy" and "reliable" were at the top of my list of criteria I was looking for in a daily fantasy money league website. I quickly found that all the daily fantasy sports sites are US or Canada based businesses and the main difference with this industry is that it's legal by US Federal law. You can read more about it on our Legal Page.
Once I felt good about the legality, I started looking for the best site with the largest player base and most action. This wasn't an easy task as I found about 10 websites that all claimed to be the top site with the best games. I learned the hard way and have played on and tested each of the top sites in the industry. In my first year, I came out ahead by researching and using logic that we share on dailyfantasycafe.com. You don't have to win first place in each tournament to make a profit. For a nice introduction and strategy outline, start with the Daily Academy course. Our reviews are real, raw and contain exclusive information straight from the daily fantasy sites. We interview the owners, executives and managers to give you data and insight no other site can provide. We have the leading tools in the industry including the top FanDuel NFL Optimizer and DraftKings MLB Lineup Optimizer.
You have the potential to become a millionaire in one weekend. In 2014 during the NFL season, a new millionaire crowned nearly every week of the season. Let that sink in. 16 people were made millionaires by playing in a daily fantasy football contest. You can win entries into these large tournaments for as little as $2 or buy a seat directly for no more than $200. Our job is to provide you with the best sites, the highest deposit bonuses and strategy to help you win money. Get started with your training at the Daily Academy.
Daily fantasy contests are primarily daily or weekend contests. People refer to these contests as daily contests, but they NFL contests are really multiple days long. Virtually all of the contests are based on a salary cap draft. You have a salary cap and draft a number of roster of players. If your team has the highest score you win. Daily fantasy sites aren't going anywhere and with a bit of work and a lot of fun, you can start making money now. Don't wait, get started and we hope to see you holding that $1 million dollar check very soon.
We have come a long way from the beginning of daily fantasy sports, and there seems to be new tools and data popping up more frequently. You might be curious as to what is new and old, as well as what is in store for the future. Lineup optimizers have been the calling card for many daily fantasy advice sites for some time, but now it is a race to see how advanced you can make it. We have also seen data and statistics geared specifically for daily fantasy sports. DraftKings points per minute, FanDuel points scored when a teammate is on/off the floor, you name it. Vegas lines are heavily involved in research these days, and sites have taken note of that. The amount of Vegas-DFS correlation info has really been on the rise in the last six-to-eight months. We are excited to see what is in store for 2017.
Lineup optimizers are geared towards all skill sets. They have the basics down for the average skilled player, and the advanced options for those who want to learn, as well as for those who have been playing for a while. Optimizers are always a work in progress, due to the many possibilities that can go into them. We have seen applied models, exposure, excluding teams/players, and many more features in the last year. Optimizers are the arms race of the daily fantasy world. They are the muscle, and are always expanding.
Research back in the day was fairly simple, and by back in the day, I mean 2012. You had your defense vs. position, Vegas lines, and some advanced stats to work with. You also had multiple tabs open, and research was a bit scattered. Things have drastically changed, and DFS statistics have been advanced. Information like how many fantasy points a player scores while a spread is in the double-digits is available, or fantasy points scored when a player is hitting third compared to fourth. Research and lineup constructing has gotten much more involved in the last year and a half. This has helped everyone in the industry, from the casual player who only has time to read an article, to the advanced player who researches hours a day.
Our friends at Daily Faceoff are providing some of the best daily fantasy hockey information and data on the internet. They also offer a Draftkings tv promo code that is on par with every other offer today. Prefer FanDuel? DFO has that to, check out their fanduel promo code page. The amount of information, tools, and statistics out there now is baffling from where it was a few years ago. Us here at Daily Fantasy Cafe are intrigued with all this new data because it helps us make you successful.
If you are wondering what's so special about Daily Fantasy Cafe, let us tell you. DFC brings you plenty of tools and content to help you succeed in any of the sports offered.

It does not stop there as they are continuously researching theories to better the content and tools on the site. You will notice the passion and effort across the site.
Our "Colossus" Lineup Optimizer is the bread and butter of our site. Colossus is the most powerful optimizer in the industry, and we never rest when it comes to making it even more powerful. Colossus generates lineups while maximizing fantasy points, and finding the best value. The user is able to customize and adjust settings before generating those final lineups, and you are also capable of importing your own projections. If you are not aware of our "Cafe Value" feature, it is simply the measure of a player's points per dollar worth. This helps you get a gauge for what you are paying for a player. Colossus can go hand in hand with our unique stacking tool. Stacking is a strategy used in daily fantasy, and our tool helps you nail those high upside stacks, and import them into the lineup optimizer. Even though we have released these tools, our team is always looking for ways to enhance them.
The content and podcasts provided daily is an excellent reflection of how our team enjoys their work. They have a solid track record shown in winnings, knowledge, and Fantasy Pros accuracy badges. You are truly getting content from skilled DFS players who enjoy what they do. Our cheat sheets are provided by these members, who are providing the same players they are using to construct their winning lineups. Providing picks is just a piece of the pie here at DFC. Our team is looking to help you learn the skill of the game, help you construct better lineups, as well as discuss sports happenings.

As anyone with food allergies will know, finding enough food for a satisfied stomach is pretty difficult. My sister has only recently found a complete solution to her stomach troubles, and it's taken all gluten, dairy, and high-fructose corn syrup based products out of her diet. In an effort to provide balance, I looked more closely at the recipe for my cinnamon muffins and started to replace the ingredients.
I should start by saying that I still use eggs here; sis can't have them on their own, but used in baking has been just fine. I would also recommend close scrutiny when selecting the special diet items; most department store brands sneak in sugars and additives. Fresh Direct or Whole Foods in the US are your best bets. Not wanting to use this blog for schilling, I've decided to put the brand names in this recipe so that you can get exactly the same results.

Chewing gum manufacturer Wrigley's decided to withdraw the advertisement, for its X-cite brand of gum, after watchdog Independent Television Commission (ITC) received more than 700 complaints.
"We have taken the decision to replace the advertisement,"
the company said in a statement.
It had previously decided to move the ad back to the post-2100GMT watershed after a number of people complained the clip had made their children scared.
In the ad, a man who has collapsed on a couch is seen to retch and then vomit up a wet, hairy dog .The computer-animated sequence is supposed to mimic morning-after bad breath.
The complaints were the most the ITC had seen in its 13-year history.
It beat the record of 540 complaints previously set by an ad for Levi's jeans which featured a dead hamster in 1998.
"We have been flooded with complaints and the total is rising all the time," an ITC spokeswoman said last week.
She added: "Parents have been complaining that their children are scared by it, and some of the adults have said they were actually sick themselves after watching it."
The ITC said last week it would investigate to see whether the ad had breached guidelines.

Lost or stolen phone
13 July 2015
Mobile phones now do so much more than simply make calls that many of us would be completely lost without them.
Unfortunately thousands of phones do go missing each year and many of these will have been stolen.
But if your phone does go missing you could be left with a much bigger headache than simply having to replace your handset.
Not only are many smartphones worth hundreds of pounds, but thieves can quickly rack up huge bills on stolen phones.
You may be liable for all charges run up on your phone when it goes missing up until you report it as lost or stolen to your provider. Therefore, it's important you contact your provider as soon as possible to avoid facing high charges as a result of unauthorised use.
