Everytime I talk to a girl I'm always afraid to put too much of myself out there and this leads to me quickly running out of things to say and watching my wignmen make the girls smile and laugh.
I thought the goal was to remain a mystery and not reveal too much of yourself to soon. That way you keep the girl coming back for more. Years ago someone told me you have to be a puzzle the girls can't figure out, because once they figure you out they become bored with you. Kind of like a puzzle.
I also have it in my head that the girl I'm approaching at the bar/ club has already had a handful of guys come up to her and go on about what they do for a living and the sports they play and don't let the girl talk. So I thought I was being different by trying to make the conversation more about her, but what you're saying makes so much sense.

I like it when RSD videos have something new and unexpected just thrown in there, like the shouting in the beginning, it kind of expands the interest of them, rather than just having the same whole video dialogue for a decade like lots of companies do, which eventually decays the interest and excitement for new videos and topics. Nice work, there is so much value in a lot of these new videos to apply to all aspects of life.

Such profound insight into the messy, abstract social matrix that we live in.
It feels like it is our role as men to pursue the ultimate understanding, and the women are there as a motivation and a prize for some of us who dare to achieve it.

I've been talking about myself more and more lately before seeing this video as I used to believe it was respectful and polite to let others talk and make it all about them, seen a shit load more success and hooked a lot more this way, plus the conversation flows a hell of a lot better as I'm not dependant on them contributing as much.
When talking about yourself what is your response when someone cuts in on you? + Looks away not seeming interested? + I can imagine the pace of your interaction becoming quite tiering for you if it's at the speed you put accross when you post these videos?

Take of the cap, man, it's much better. If you have sensitive eyes, there are solutions to that also (building a muscle for the discomfort).

The first video shines a light on some success barriers I have. Often when I go out one night and my verbals are on fire, the next day I have trouble achieving that same flow. I think this is more due to my ego holding myself back than anything else - "I don't have to be the most interesting guy, it's too much of a burden" and I end up reverting to the spectator for a few days until I really get amped up and really invest myself in whatever interactions I'm having. This also could be because I only go out a couple of nights per week. I never even realized that I was always relating things back to myself when at my best verbally, but now that you pointed out the importance of that, it definitely resonates with my own experiences.
It really IS polite to be the center of attention when you approach someone. The onus is on you as the one entering their personal space to demonstrate why you're there. These ideas are definitely going to help.

Great vid -
QUESTION: How do you think this idea of 'bringing the conversation back to me' applies to other relationships - For example, just chilling with some new friends you met recently. Isn't there a concern of coming off as a conceited asshole - i know some people who do this "always talking about me thing' and it makes me and other people I know never want to hang with that person again. And in direct contrast, some others who know how to listen, and are curious etc. and they become the one everyone wants to be around (ie. they create a space). But then again I think there is somethng to be said about those more relaxed popular guys who just don't give a fuck and talk about what ever is on their mind.
So ya - would like to hear your thoughts on the distinction between approaching hot girls vs. chilling with friends. I suppose one danger of making a distinction is you reinforce certain social behaviours the more you do them.

You guys usually promote keeping thought to a minimal, and I feel like this is the more useful advice. I feel like the best path is neither thinking about "me" nor "her", but rather just enjoying "us". I know I feel at my best and most carefree when I am not thinking about my self, or the girl, or anything in particular, but just really taking in the experience.
You probably don't mean the advice to taken as thinking about your self, but instead simply talking about yourself. I think this is awesome advice! I just forsee some people taking it to far and getting all in their head about it. Just my 2 cents.

I remember from one of your videos you said to let the girl talk so she can experience you, and now you're saying you should talk so she can experience your personality?
Can somebody explain this to me because sometimes i feel like talking and take over the conversation and wonder if i should give the girl more chance to talk, should i aim for middle-ground?
I think since you out of all the instructors (besdies tyler sometimes) are the most intense and give the most intense and subjective speeches, it might be helpful if you put more in-field footage in your vids to demonstrate your points.
I see it a lot on the forums and I have even seen it in person where some fucking newb sees you talk about push pulling girls and then goes out and calls girls bitches and nearly gets slept. I've SEEN a friend call a girl a so uncalibrated it made me squirm inside and of course she flipped the fuck out on him.
Anyway, I know you guys give a lot of free shit, but for your vids in particular I feel like in field footage of you actually doing the shit you are talking about might help A LOT. Especially for socially uncalibrated nerds.

First one was big for me, since its something I think Im lacking and want to achieve, lowering my bar for what I have to say and expressing fully really hit the nail and I started feeling worthy of going out and taking action and just lowering my bar.
Could clearly visualize myself just offering value and having fun.
However, last video got me feeling like I dont do shit and in a self-hate mindset.
I realize its all about holding both ideas in your mind and took it as that, different angles cause different reactions for different people, I bet a bunch got pumped from the last video.
finally made it to a RSD event and officially catched a cameo in a RSD v-blog, lol
There is nothing much more to see as the back of my head in the third row on the left side in the current freetour vid though. So, the mystery who's writing these posts still kinda remains...
However, don't want to sound like a nuthugger but the freetour in Munich was really awesome! Got two instructors for one event. 2 for the price of one (or in this case for free). That's almost a third of the RSD instructor staff. Sound like a great deal from an economical point of view. Can't really get better than that. There were many concepts on this tour I've already been familar with, but it just makes fun to reinforce your beliefs, your truth's and also to catch the vibe from two of the most notorious players in the Game in personal. And I don't care, if RSD instructors have girlfriends at certain points, have feelings for a certain chick or even get married at some point. If you live a lifestyle were you have to constantly left your loved ones at home in order to travel around the world or at least around a country, have to show and tutor other dudes how to pick up women, even perform these skills live infield on and on again. And above all, even manage to throw out some killer content for free from time to time. You're a bonafide hustler...
However, even as a student who heard it "all" before over and over again, there are always some subtle gems I take from the videos or in this case from this live event. Nice to see Ozzie, a certified O.G. who have been in this Game for a minute. He talks less about his mindset of a closer nowadays. He talks a lot more about pain and I get the context regarding his fear technology material. But I also get the sense that he went through a tough time learning these skills as a regular looking, short guy with nerdy tendencies who probably got pushed around in his earlier life. That makes his skills with women and his development even more impressive. This one amog technique was off the chain. He actually talked about it in his last v-blog. I can see how you can someones Game with a girl even before they have a makeout. Actually, I've tried it out already. I don't think this was his intention necessarily, he much rather tried to make a point about facing some stressful situations to expand your comfort zone like interupting making-out couples. He told some old stories from him of his chode days. This all while I was unsuccessfully texting a girl that I've chatted up on a subway station on the way home a day earlier. It wasn't really surprising to me that I didn't got an answer from her as I tried to kiss her on the lips to say goodbye right before parting aways. This all after knowing her for not more than five minutes. She gave me one of these avoiding head back moves. But to that later on...
Julien was the next one on the menue and I have to admit that it somehow felt weird to have him right in front of me at first. Even for someone who has worked for various tv-shows, had his footsteps in the media world and is more or less experienced in hanging out with minor celebrities. It felt like watching a RSD v-blog in 3D^^ And Jules gave a fantastic speech. It had it all... all I expected from a Julien speech. It was passionate, educating and mad funny with his notorious humor and his crazy stories he's used to put out so lovely. Like fucking a girl while having her to pretend that she is your aunt or to question the girl what would you do... if you slept with a guy who turn out to be just 17 and is now blackmailing you to sleep with him over and over again or to contact the authorities^^ lol!
I remember that Julien put out a v-blog a couple months ago where he was talking about filler expressions like how does it feel..., what would you do if..., in ways..., in some type of way...
Basically, open loop questions and vague expressions that make the girl fill out those terms with their own content. That way she is able to project the qualities she wants from a man on to you. At least, when I get the idea right. Further explanations are requested...
BTW: I saw in the company of men and it was really a funny and dark independent flick. Too bad there is no clip of the ending scene on youtube. It's hilarious when the main character reveals his deaf fuckbuddy that his feelings were just a hoax and that she got played from him and his friend. But I think it's even more funnier when Aaron Eckhart is telling his friend that he got played too. The face expression from Aaron is priceless... he is not just asking, he really just wants to know how does it feel^^
Nonetheless, I found another legendary "how does it feel" scene from a legendary movie. A must see flick about the grim tales of a regular man who just went out to visit his daughter on her birthday but ended up on a rampage against the daily madness in his city. A sublime satire on mainstream america and the false promises of the american dream.
All of a sudden some kid interrupts Juliens speech by screaming: "I want to shave the genitals from a penguin!" I don't know if this was an obvious troll or much rather somebody who tried to make an appereance in the video. Or maybe just some young'n who tried to expand his comfort zone by interrupting a young but already legendary pick-up instructor from the leading pick-up company in the world.
However, Julien asked us to give him some ideas for a topic he could talk about. I would have suggested a topic, but to be honest there was no question I had at that time. Suddenly, my neighbour right next to me started to ask Julien for some advice about spicing up his conversation skills. And no doubtly, Julien is probably one of the most skilled PUA's when it comes to spicing up interactions. To the point were it's not needed for the pick up, but just entertaining and impressive from an artful point of view. So he went for an answer and a long speech that made it seem that he's no longer into using shocking humor that much anymore to catch the attention of girls nowadays. He seems more focused on projecting the quality of being the price and get girls to chase him. He makes girls chasing him by baiting them with attention, then playing cold to make them invest in him, then give them some more attention, then strip them cold once again to make them invest even more, up to the point were she expect to get kissed just to get mercilessly stripped from validation by Julien as he is refusing to kiss them. He makes the girl invest more and more and more while not giving any rewards back, so she wants the rewards even more badly and is investing again. Up to the point were she ends up in his bedroom. Genious... I want to know more details about that in the future!^^
You see the difference between a professional who does this for a living and an amateur like me who's doing this just for fun, self developing and my urgent need to get laid?
I think it's an unfortunate circumstance for pick up instructors that guy's try to avoid their professional help. Why? Because their ego's get involved. Almost everybody thinks that they being Casanovas themselves. Although the average guy refuse to go for cold approach pick up. I could do it if I wanted to! Probably... but you don't go for it mothafucka. So, stay miserable with your fatty girlfriend that you hooked up with in highschool days back then.
If you have some health-problems you go to a doctor. If your car is broken, you go to a mechanic. If you went looney toons you see a shrink. But if you have love problems you avoid professional help? It seems too many people are too stuck up in the idea of fate. Did actually none of these guy's ever saw Terminator 2?
Although, there is a possibility that grinding for your goals is not a decision of free will but much rather an illusion of fate. I still like the idea that the universe is rewarding you with results when you set up certain goals and put up the right amount effort in it. If I were 18 again, I would do a program with RSD I guess. It would save me years to figure out all the shit I know nowadays. I would have got my dick wet earlier and a couple times more I guess.
All in all, it was a sweet event. What impressed me the most is how Julien behaved and how he carried himself. There was this one guy in particular who ran up on Julien before his speech and told him that he's a big fan of him and that he had some questions. Julien said: sure, go ahead I set up the camera in the meanwhile. He was asking him how many approaches he did in his life. Julien responded something in the means of: Unfortunately, I didn't count them but it must be thousands upon thousands;-) It would have been pretty easy to feel validated in his ego by this guy. It would have been pretty easy to put up some front and feel superior over him, but he didn't. He was pretty nice and down to earth. He's actually a humble, nice and hardworking guy. And he's very professional... even as this one kid interrupted him by yelling the penguin-nonsense he just stayed calm, gave just a nice little "thumbs up" reaction and immediately snapped out of the disruption to continue his speech. It was also pretty impressive that he's basically freestyled his whole speech.
This is one of the things I don't like much in this community. As soon as some of these community guys take some action and get some results and some ego strokes, they act like assholes and feel superior over everyone. Even on this event you could sense who put up a front. I get that we don't have any awards for being the best pick up artist in the world and it's tempting and somewhat understandable to compare your pua dicksizes on such event. As you usually don't get any credits for doing pick up. But you do this for yourself in the first place and I still don't like this attitude. That's the reason why I refuse to hang out with these guy's for the most part. I met some humble dudes in the community, but I also met some dicks. Yesterday you were this shook little who didn't know what to do with his dick and now you're overcompensating by acting to cool for everyone? Get the fuck outta here you little twat. And why hanging out with these morons anyway? I don't need them. I know what I want and I will get it. For me going out solo is like going to the supermarket or hanging out in my living room. I don't really have that much time for someone else when I'm out in the field anyway. That's also the reason why I don't like going out with my regular friends most of the times. They would just chode around in the corner of the club with their wodka bulls in their hand while I were boucing around the club socializing. I mean I like people and I like winging when the guy is cool. I sometimes spontanously wing up with dudes when I'm out in the field. This happens from time to time and it's fun, but overall I want to have the power over my night. I want to do things on my own terms, I want to stay flexible. Going out to venues or change venues when I'm feeling it. I would much rather hang out with a newbie who has a positive attitude and is just fun to hang out with, as with an overcompensating, mouthloud smartass who acts like a coked up drugfiend. I don't like the term alpha that much, but for me being alpha means that you give people value. That you come from a position of power, but you still remain to be a humble guy who wants to give the people around you a good time. But I don't want to sound like a miserable incel, so if you don't know what to do and want to hang on to someone who's constantly hitting up munichs nightlife, write me a PM and we'll see. Julien also gave some good tips about intermediate purgatory. I already noticed some wrong patterns in my Game before, but it's nice to hear this so well explained. Anyway, after the speech I played with the idea to talk to Julien, but there was a whole crowd around him. And I was getting the sense that they need his attention more than me at this moment. Above all, I got texted several times from my colleagues who hang out at a bar and tried to convince me to come over. I didn't realise that I was on a rescue mission to hammer some common sense in them when I headed over. Somehow they thought it would be a great idea to get pointlessly skull drunk by killing sambuca shots at a regular thursday night. Shot after shot, it were at least four in a timebracket not longer than a half hour. And that was just the booze they were drinking while I was hanging out with them. I don't want to know how many tequilas they killed before... much funnier was the next day at work to see their pale skins, the dead eyes and the darth vader like voices from sobering up.
The Finals
I'm not a great soccer fan, but I could have known it better... our team qualified to the Champigons League finals next to another German team. And after we won the title Saturday night, some of my friends and basically the whole city went nuts. Busses and subways were overcrowded and not right on time. Clubs were full, people drunk out of their minds. There is no other event besides a new years eve were people celebrate that hard till breaking dawn. And as our team is used to be winning (and notoriously hated from the rest of germany for this...) it was a quite familiar feeling.
Anyway, I was somehow still hyped up from the free tour from thursday night when I entered my favorite bar/club friday night. Although I was vagina hunting the whole weekend there was this one particular incident that made the most impact on me. For people who still not seen this video, do it now->
I don't want to sound like a dickrider, but the hand of god opening from Tyler is sooo money in this video. Stop meditating for a second if you're reading this and get the little dirty high of your ego getting caressed. When I saw this, I thought to myself: I wanna do this shit too!! I had successfully done it in the past, but I usually just go up to a girl and chat her up. I often say things like: so, how you end up here tonight? or you're cute I had to come over and say hello or how the stag party went so far? (when it's a group of girls). Funnily enough I stumbled over a group of girls who were really partying a stag party saturday night. We had a good laugh about my approach. As you noticed I usually don't use anything to fancy or to special on opening. I don't want to psyche myself out with to smart openings and also opening is the least important part in pick-up. Although vocal projection takes an important part as well especially in daygame. Often times when I get brushed of in daygame it's due to a lack of a strong approach in this particular moment. They just not hear me right or thing I try to fundraise for a charity or something. It's not so easy to recover from that during the day, so step in hard. The "you're a cute line" can perceived as corny sometimes. There was this one tall, blonde, hottie ordering some drinks at the bar a couple weeks ago. I've approached her and told her she is cute yada, yada, yada. and she didn't took it that well. She wasn't saying anything bad, but her face expression revealed me her state. So, I immediately "dissed" her by telling her she's to tall for me. I disqualified myself of being a pontential suitor and that was actually the truth. I usually don't fall for women that are much taller than me. I usually like it more when she is a bit smaller or of the same height. However she lighted up a bit and we had a nice convo before I left and she went back to her friends. I used the same stick on another girl that night, but this time I managed to stay in set. But I come to this later on... You see much more important than the opening itself is the whole interaction. Being empathic and being aware of the current emotional state the girl is in and accordingly responding to it in realtime. And no, I don't mean being the dancing monkey who does everything to make the girl likes him. Another line that I always wanted to use and that I finally managed to use on Saturday night was: And finally kids... that's how I met your mother^^
So, I was warming up Friday night by hitting up some sets. I was just having a good time as I was in a happy state already. And my mood got even better. Now all of a sudden there was this cute, blonde, chick dancing on the floor. I went up, flipped my fingers, pointed on to her to caught her attention, reached for the hand of god and she... refused. That didn't bothered me, I straight went up to her and whispered some stuff in her ear. Suddenly her brunette friend (that was in the same way hot when not hotter...) came along and tried to drag her away from me or better said: I saw this happening before it really happened. I hugged both girls at the same time and said something in the means of: It's really cute how you protect your friend from getting picked up. The friend was disarmed and didn't liked to get hugged by me that much, so she backed off and went on dancing with another friend. This bought me a little time with my girl. We just talked about usual stuff, I screened her with my usual screening questions. So, how you end up in this place tonight? Just vibing blah, blah, blah... when it's loud in a club you had to come very close to the girl and talk to her ears so that she can hear you. This is very organic and I usually back off after I say something so that the girl hast to lean in to me. That way she's feeling that she is investing in the interaction more and for other people (for example other girls) outside our bubble does look better too. So, I suddenly sneaked a little kiss from her when she was leaning in. She didn't respond to well as she was saying: Ok, I guess I have to go now. So, I threw out some excuses, I overloaded her brain by rapid firing some statements like: wai, wai, wai, wait, I'm sorry, come back, I'm sorry, I don't do this again. I promise you, I don't to this again. I sorry, I've tricked you. You didn't done anything wrong, it's my fault^^ She stayed and we kept flirting. The reason why she wanted to leave is, because she had a boyfriend. And I've said to ther: I just wanted to kiss you and if I didn't had done it I wouldn't have known that you're already taken. And she said, that she thought it was cute how I approached her, it was just like from a movie scene. But then I thought to myself, why not pushing this interaction further? So, I rubbed my cheek on hers and asked her... how does it feel?^^ I have a beard and she said something like a little bit sticky. Then I've asked her: And now as you cheated your boyfriend, how does it feel?^^ I didn't cheat on my boyfriend. Yeah right, it's my fault. But honestly tell me how it does feel to cheat your boyfriend right now, right here? While I put my hand to my heart^^
You see I didn't get the girl that night, but I've played to win and not to not lose. I've pushed the interaction as far as I could.
I don't want to dwell on the kissing thing forever, but I have some final thoughts on this topic. I really liked the Alex video with Jeffy in which they talk about screening girls for boyfriends. I feel what Alex is saying when he points out that he usually don't go for the kiss that fast to avoid other people noticing that he eventually get rejected by the girl. I must admit that can be a problem, it might kill your chances with another girl when it doesn't work that well with the current one. So, what I like to do instead recently is sneaking the kiss. It's not a big move, it is so fast and so subtle that usually nobody notice it. And you acchieve some good things with it. First of all it's a good screening tool and secondly it puts the dynamic more man to women. I like the sneaking technique because it's not a big move, it's difficult for the woman to avoid it. Often times women refuse to kiss you, even if they would kiss you or when they have too much time to overthink it. The same goes for asking for the kiss. Don't ask, just do it. You can ask, but it usually doesn't work that well. When she gets silent and doesn't respond that usually means a yes. I think just going for it, is still better. Take the responsibility on your shoulders and not on hers. Well, some people might say hand caressing is another good indicator. It is, but it's not enough in my opinion. Holding hands is not kissing. I chatted up a psychiatrist at a bar once, who worked in a mental hospital with alcohol addicts. This was really funny to me because she and her female doctor friends invited me to a tequila shot. I was heavily flirting with her, grabbed her in, holding hands all of that. Then I isolated her from the group and tried to kiss her. She refused, it didn't worked. All of a sudden she revealed that she's already married. My dumbass just didn't noticed her wedding ring. They changed the venue and she was telling me, you can go with us if you want to, but we won't get physical, so be aware of that. She said that in a serious manner. You see, how I prevent myself from a situation that was going nowhere and would have just let me left butthurt afterwards. Similar situation with the tall brunette one I mentioned earlier. She had a boyfriend in the same venue, that's why she didn't liked that I've grabbed her on her hips in order to dance with her on the floor. She said: I really do like your flirting and we can keep doing this, but you are too physical for me. She meant, that she didn't want to see her white rastafari-bob-marley-wannabe-lookalike-gay-ass-boyfriend seeing us getting it on. Two similar incidents happened friday night, where I was kissing the blonde chick I have mentioned earlier and also another girl that I flirted with that night. Both were taken. As Alex once pointed out, in smaller cities many girls are already taken. You must screen a little bit smarter.
Besides that, I keep practicing my instant date attempts. Not, very successful yet, but I'm getting better. I manage to get more and faster physical during the day. I hug them, I already tried to kiss one girl as I was mentioning in the beginning in this beast of a wallpost. What? you really still reading this #justkidding. The weather sucks ass here at the moment, but as soon as it is getting better I will have more time to develop my new style of daygame. I think the great disadavantage of daygame in comparison to nightgame is the lack of time you spend with the girl. Holding an interaction for 10 to 20 minutes on the street, on the same spot is still better than nothing, but it doesn't really acchieve the seduction part. It's better to create a situation were you have enough time to develop a physical and emotional connection with the girl in order to see her again. Otherwise, if you just go for her numbers you will play a huge numbers game imo.
Good blog from Julien this week.
If a newbie would ask me what I would do differently when I would start this journey again. I would tell him that he should start taking action as soon as possible. Reading all this material is fine and all that, but it's also a good waste of time when you are not out to give the concepts some understanding in getting some first hand experience to back all this theory up. I'm about five years in this Game and although the first three years laid the foundation, the real progress just have come over the last fifteen months were I constantly took action. I would have done more before, but I've halfassed the first three years because I had more important things to do. My priorities were just not pick up back then. I had more important things to acchieve first. But now I'm out to hustle for poon and love^^
I also enjoyed the being the center of attention video. Just talk to the girl about things you want to talk about. Here's a good example of somebody who's not holding anything back and just state his opinion no matter what. Funniest and realest interviewer in the urban community right now. Hilarious dude, he needs an own show!
BTW: The only topic I'm kind of curios and that I could think of to suggest for a v-blog right now is persistence. I read different views on that topic on this board, but what does persistence mean to a RSD instructor? When it's time to persist, when it's time to let go?

with the main guy's identity.
Here's an example: I walked to the main guy and asked him quietly what he did
for a living. This is after everyone else tried to pry it out of him and he had given them bullshit.
He tried messing with me but I interrupted him to say "You've travelled."
He confirmed this and went on trying to mess with me.
I interrupted him again and said "You've seen things. Things that messed you up".
This shook him and, for the rest of the evening, he alternated between trying
to put me down and seeking my approval.
He failed in both fronts.
You don't have to compete with the main guy to bring him down.

I have had glimpses of this in set but on a scale of 1-100 I am on level 10 - I can take this much further as the hotseat shows. Very inspirational - unreactive unapologetic self expression is the shit - implement and fall in love with your own verbal bullshit - the girl will fall in love with you too.
U can use the '' kanker '' word instead of dogg in holland :-)
High quality content! Tnx
I am personally a low energy person so you would rarely see me keep talking and talking. But when I'm in a group and I'm on. People lesson to me. When I'm for example with a group the high energy person talks and talks, but when I say something (even with interrupt him) they listen to me.
When I'm with a girl. I believe what I say is valueble, but I don't keep talking. I think it has even more affect. Than she talks and qualify herself.
I'm sure your 'trick' works Julien, but I think it's not deep enough. Most of the time when people keep talking they try to impress and that's really enoying for other guys and not attractive for the chica's.

Spring has sprung, and tasting rooms are opening their doors a bit longer now. There are many opportunities to taste the fine wines of the Sierra foothills, and some of the most interesting opportunities are less than an hour away. The wineries of Nevada County beckon, and we were primed for more tastes by attending the Flavor of Nevada County event last fall. Here are some of the yummy discoveries.
|Avanguardia Rosata
I've always enjoyed the wines produced by Avanguardia, as winemaker Rob Chrisman so deftly blends over twenty Italian, Russian, and French varietals along with cross-varietals created by the University of California, all grown in his estate vineyards..
The Avanguardia 2012 Rosata "Cara Mia" is a Rose vinified in the style of Provence. Rob makes his Rosata from Sangiovese and other red varieties, vinified as if they were white wines. The small amount of residual sugar in this Rosata leaves a dry impression on the palate. 12.7 per cent alcohol, $16/bottle. Visit Avanguardia at their tasting room at 13028 Jones Bar Road, Nevada City, CA. Call 530 274 8200 for hours. www.avanguardiawines.com
|Sierra Knolls Primitivo
Sierra Knolls Winery presents a 2011 Primitivo that is definitely worth tasting. It has a bold rich flavor, and opens with bright notes of cherry and blackberry. I like the taste of toasted almond and dark chocolate on the close. This Primitivo is 13.4 percent alcohol. $24/bottle. The Sierra Knolls Vineyard & Winery Tasting Room is open by appointment only on Saturdays and Sundays from 12-5pm. at 19635 Kingswood Court, Grass Valley, or at their new and conveniently located tasting room "Bear River Wine Tasting" at 10024 Linnet Lane, Auburn. Call 530 269-2327 for updates on hours www.sierraknollswinery.com
|Mrs Lucchesi pours at
Flavor Nevada County event
Lucchesi Winery produces its wines from its lovely southwest-facing estate vineyards in Grass Valley. The beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains enhance the taste of the wines when you enjoy the hospitality of their tasting room at the winery at 19698 View Forever Lane, which is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, or weekends by appointments. Or go to the downtown tasting room at 128 Mill Street, Grass Valley.
|Luchessi produces
white wines too...
I enjoy all the Lucchesi wines. You might want to try the Lucchesi Masque is a blended red wine made from Sierra Foothill grapes. It has fruity aromas of cherry creme brulee, mocha, and a hint of tobacco with a soft, fruity medium body and a jammy, nut accented finish. 14.8 percent alcohol, $12/bottle. www.lucchesivineyards.com
|Smith Vineyards Christina's Blush
(on the left)
Smith Vineyards produced a 2012 merlot dessert wine "Christina's Blush" that was delicious. It is light and fruity with aromas of rhubarb and strawberry with bright flavors of cherry leading to a fresh, clean finish. 13.5 percent alcohol, $16/bottle. Try it at their tasting room at 142 Mill Street, Grass Valley. 530 273 7032. www.smithvineyard.com
This review was published in my May 2014 Wine Time column for The Tahoe Weekly

HOUSTON - "A sad and disturbing scene!" is what neighbors called a dead horse found lying on the side of a street for three days in northwest Houston.
Dog rescuers were on their way to the BARC shelter to save some homeless dogs when they spotted the horrible sight.
"This is not fair for an animal. You know, this is cruel," said Olivia Hancock, after calling 311 to report the dead horse to city officials.
Local neighbors were upset that the city took so long to pick up the dead animal.
"I'm very sorry for what you had to see but it was even harder on me cause that's something I loved," said Syed Jafri.
Jafri loved his horse Ashal and certainly never neglected the animal.
"He was getting better, after we took him to the vet and brought him home. We did everything we could to save him," said Jafri.
Jafri's vehicle inspection business near Airline and Tidwell offered to keep the animal's carcass in a trailer behind the gate until the city could come and pick up the remains.
"When I called 3-1-1 they said that they would not pick it up if it was in a trailer. They said that I would have to put it on the road," explained Jafri.
Jafri's shop is in Houston City Councilwoman Karla Cisneros' district. The city ordinance for large animal disposal is clearly stated on the website.
Maybe the city needs to take another look at this ordinance, or make special exceptions for private properties.

WASHINGTON — What famous American said the following remarkable things?
(BU) ``This whole progressive tax system is a foreign import, spawned by Karl Marx a century ago.``
(BU) ``Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal.``
(BU) ``There were two Vietnams, north and south. They had been separate nations for centuries.``
(BU) ``Approximately 80 percent of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation . . . ``
(BU) ``They (the South African government) have eliminated the segregation that we once had in our own country . . . ``
The answer, of course, is Ronald Reagan, the first president in the rhetorical history of the United States with the gift of gaffe.
It`s not just that this president is especially prone to factual errors, questionable notions, loose use of figures and rough-riding rhetoric that upsets one group or another. He is not the first president to make mistakes and get away with it.
He is, however, the first president to benefit from his rhetorical bloopers.
In an age when most politicians mince words, Reagan thrives from his full- blown rhetoric, errors and all. Critics still can`t seem to understand why. They shake their heads disdainfully with each passing gaffe and then watch in amazement as the questionable claims reverberate in the nation`s consciousness and then triumph over reality.
The critics assume Reagan has survived gaffe after gaffe because the people are charmed into forgiving him anything.
But it`s not that people forgive Reagan. The fact is that many Americans agree with what are called Reagan`s gaffes. His view of the world matches the great majority`s view.
The over-simplifications and rhetorical broadsides are part of being a great communicator; one more reason for a strategist to let Reagan be Reagan.

Fun loving garnet coloured root veggie seeking succulent and warm beef broth.
Maybe if beets put out personal ads in weekly grocery ads there would be less of them on the shelf…
Americans love potatoes, carrots, and onions; those in the know might even appreciate a shallot or parsnip from time to time. But there is no respite for a beet. It's a hard world for beets. No one really seems to appreciate them let alone no what to do with them. They grow in dirt, are a creepy shade of reddish-purple, and have a nondescript taste that the average colonial wouldn't be able to tell you about (incidentally though plenty of Americans consume sugar produced from beets).
And yet in Russia and Ukraine the beet is king and the enticing ruby soup it makes is a staple of any diet. We speak of course of borscht. It's the first thing that comes into any middle-class American's mind when they think of Russian cuisine. In the West borscht carries connotations of creepy root vegetables. The soup is also notable in being a genuinely red food; it is excruciatingly red isn't it.
I have fantasized about borscht for many years now. My first encounter with it was…unfortunate. I invite all of you to click on the word "unfortunate" in that last sentence to find out why…Pre-made borscht rears its ugly head around Hanukkah and Passover every year in big jars labeled "Manischewitz." If you shop in some of the B-stores you can find it year round. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't absolutely terrible; it just tastes like they forgot to wash the dirt off of their beets…
No we if we want to get true blue…er…true red beets we have to go fresh. I suppose the grocery store varieties are adequate although I always opt for the finest if I am dealing with a center stage ingredient. Good borscht needs good beets! I originally intended to make it with beets picked from somewhat nearby Larriland Farms…those beets are still sliced up in my freezer with a substantial amount of freezer burn ingrained into them. No, I opted for even fresher beets…
From the Womb of the Earth: the Humble Beet
I attempted to start beets from seed; unfortunately business prevented me from getting them in soil before they grew moldy. Instead I opted for pre-started sprouts and I was not disappointed. A patch of several dozen beets cost only a few dollars making this a more rewarding investment than grocery store beets.
With seeds you have the advantage of spacing out your beets. You can stagger your planting in order to get multiple successive harvests from mid-summer until the bitter end of autumn. Since not all of the seeds germinate you are encouraged to plant some in a clumping fashion and then thin out the herd if too many grow. Pre-grown sprouts come in clumps and you have the option of either leaving them in clump formation or breaking them into individual sprouts. As an experiment I grew some in clumps and some solo; the clumps produced a large amount of small beets while the lone sprouts became behemoths that would win 3rd place at a local farmer's market. Smaller beets are allegedly sweeter and have a more pleasing texture although my American palate failed to notice this. Smaller beets are most certainly better for pickling however.
Beets sprouts seem pretty hardy. Nearly every one that I planted ended up bearing a sweet ruby fairly quickly. I have not had time to pickle the little ones although I am fairly certain they are still alive and well. Beets can apparently survive some frosts fairly well which, combined with staggered planting, would make them a stable and reliable addition to any family diet. The leaves certainly wouldn't survive a frost however and they faded fairly quickly under a barrage of hot sun and bugs which is a shame because beet greens are supposed to be healthy and delicious. Maybe next time…
For my borscht I used one large beet and three medium-small ones:
Beetiful aren't they? Puns aside they looked great after being boiled for 45 minutes until fork tender, at which point they were blanched so that the skin could be easily removed. Remove the dirty purple exterior and you get a rich, regal purple interior that will dye every surface they come into contact with. Boiling beets, as I later found out, is not recommended. The water leaches out color, flavor, and nutrients, thereby rendering the beets less potent in culinary use. A better method of prepping beets is to roast them in the oven. Regardless of what method you use, nearly all of them call for leaving the long root and an inch of stalk on the beet so as to prevent too much seepage. The boiling method allows for easy removal of the tough skin through blanching, but a peeler will suffice for most applications.
I ended up using half of one of the smaller beets just as an appetizer to get me through the long process of making borscht. Describing the flavour of beets is a difficult prospect. They have a somewhat starchy texture evocative of a potato but are much smoother. Their flavour is…hrmmmmmmm…What does a beet taste like? Well…It tastes like…a BEET. I can't think of anything close to directly compare it too. Beets have the sweetness of a carrot and manage to hit a few of the same notes as the aromatic, quasi-minty parsnip. Beets also have a decidedly earthy flavour to them as well; there is no mistaking that this is a child of the land and the taste of earth will occasionally overpower the other elements. How do we render such a difficult, variegated, and occasionally subdued flavour into a viable ingredient?
Union of Soviet Soupcialist Republics
Lets start with the beet's traditional application…borscht! We must be careful to note that borscht isn't a particularly Russian dish. It is still huge in Russia, but borscht is ultimately a Ukrainian dish. Whether or not Ukraine is interchangeable with Russia is a difficult and life-consuming question that is currently being fought over, but hopefully we can at least agree that borscht is more Ukrainian than Russian.
For the recipe I adapted a recipe found in Please to the Table. A James Beard award-winning cookbook that covers the cuisine of the Soviet sphere, this is the definitive cookbook for the Russophile. The book deserves its own post as a book review, but suffice it to say that it is a tour-de-force of culture, history, and cuisine. Anya Von Bremzen (the definitive celebrity chef specializing in Russian food) and John C. Welchman throw together a great presentation.
But enough talk…LET US MAKE BORSCHT!
Are you looking for a recipe? You can find some copycat recipes online. I will take a cue from the foodie bloggers I so often loath and just present the process as a series of artful photographs and informative captions!
And there you have it! Borscht! Now that wasn't so bad. The whole thing can be prepared in a day and will yield at least a dozen servings. I prepared the broth in advance to shave off time for the final product.
Overall borscht is good, and much more approachable than the average American might think. It turned out much like a rich beef stew, although the vibrant reddish colour is a nice change of scenery, just as the minty-earthy notes from the beets are a nice change of pace. I can't help but feel that my borscht is somehow…wrong. The borscht I see is usually thinner and has a greater emphasis on broth. My borscht likely took a few too many cues from the Hungarian goulash which is my default stew of choice. It probably didn't have enough dill for the average Russian. But who knows, maybe this was an authentic borscht. This is manly full borscht that a muzhik might enjoy. Overall I was impressed. Borscht has a nice, full-bodied flavour with a decidedly sweeter tang. It works fairly well reheated and would warmly accommodate any cut of beef. Kielbasa? Hop on in! The Russians are a soulful people, and borscht is certainly a great soulful stew that will warm you whenever you need.
Epilogue: the Devil in the Details
After painstakingly enacting a modified vision of the borscht recipe presented in Please to the Table I read the short afterward which listed some cute folktales surrounding borscht. Apparently making borscht on a Thursday is discouraged as the devil will visit to bathe in the soup. I shrugged this off before realizing shortly after that it was Thursday…maybe that is why I feel like it didn't turn out right…

There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer. ~J.H. Goldfuss
Jbird and I decided to head out to Hobby Lobby to use the gift card I had gotten for Christmas. However, that little voice was telling me to call my friend and see how she was doing. Actually, to tell you the truth I decided to call her only once more and than wait until she called me - all my calls were going to Sockland (if you know what I mean). This time I got through on her cell and she let me know that her MagicJack went down after she had attempted to download the new upload (or something to that effect). She had called her daughter but they were battling sickness over there and didn't want to expose my friend so they couldn't come help her. Her son lives down near to Atlanta and he hadn't gotten back to her yet.
I thought for a minute and then prayed silently to myself. My techie knowledge is pretty limited and I don't like messing with other people's computers - other than sneaking pictures up on their desktops :) So basically I said, "Lord, You know." Now that's a pretty good thing to say about anything - cause He does. And I know that J uses her computer extensively and it bugs the hound out of her when something doesn't work right (big grin). So I tell her I'll come over.
Jbird and stop and get some doughnuts. I figure even if I kill her computer she might still like me for bringing over doughnuts.
To make a long story short - the computer is fixed. Bad stuff off, a couple of programs updated, - the MagicJack functional. Of course she asked me how I did it. Reality? I don't really know. I tried this and then I went there and looked up this and did that and voila!
Some people can hack it, others can't. ~Author Unknown

July 15, 2010
Complete Release in PDF Format
SAN BRUNO, CA - With the conclusion of the 2009-10 academic year, the West Coast Conference is proud to announce the ninth annual WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll, which recognizes those student-athletes that possess at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Eight hundred ninety-three (893) student-athletes, who participated in one of the WCC's 13 sponsored sports, were honored from the league's eight member institutions. This marks a new record for the conference, as the previous best total occurred over last year's academic term with 854 student-athletes making the list.
"I would like to congratulate each and every one of our 893 student-athletes who made this year's WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll," said West Coast Conference Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich. "Breaking the all-time record for the second year in a row is a testament to our member institutions' commitment to helping their student-athletes reach their potential."
Only grades earned at WCC institutions may be used in calculating the grade point average for this award. To be considered for this honor, student-athletes must meet the following requirements:
1) Individuals must have earned a varsity letter in a sport which the conference determined a champion in the recently completed academic year.
2) The cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 must be based on a 4.0 scale.
3) The individuals must have successfully completed an average of at least 12 graded credit hours (non pass-fail hours) per term.
The conference recognizes those on the WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll in three separate categories:
1) 4.00-3.75 - Gold Honors 2) 3.74-3.50 - Silver Honors 3) 3.49-3.00 - Bronze Honors

- Julia Ember "Unicorn Tracks" [USA/UK]
- "10 Years of the Caine Prize for African Writing" [Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt/Sudan/UK, Uganda, Zimbabwe/UK]
- Ji-Un Yun "Cynical Orange" vol.1-3 [South Korea]
- Rebecca Ascher-Walsh "Devoted: 38 Extraordinary Tales of Love, Loyalty, and Life With Dogs" [USA]

Unicorn Tracks
"After a savage attack drives her from her home, sixteen-year-old Mnemba finds a place in her cousin Tumelo's successful safari business, where she quickly excels as a guide. Surrounding herself with nature and the mystical animals inhabiting the savannah not only allows Mnemba's tracking skills to shine, it helps her to hide from the terrible memories that haunt her.
Mnemba is employed to guide Mr. Harving and his daughter, Kara, through the wilderness as they study unicorns. Together, they must find a way to protect the creatures Kara adores while resisting the love they know they can never indulge."
Although it's a short book, Unicorn Tracks is densely packed with adventures, kissing, mysterious creatures and danger. Two girls who cannot be together are trying to navigate their growing feelings for each other while saving lives of people and animals. It's a diverse fantasy novel with unicorns and magic, and you should totally buy it already! ;) By the way, it's Julia Ember's debut!
So I started Unicorn Tracks by @jules_chronicle and omg baby griffins are so cute!— Екатерина (@EkaterinaTrayt) October 28, 2016

10 Years of the Caine Prize for African Writing
"Celebrating ten years of the leading literary prize for African fiction (dubbed "The African Booker"), 10 Years of the Caine Prize brings together the ten winning stories along with a story each from the four African winners of the Booker Prize: Chinua Achebe, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, and Ben Okri."
Author list:
Kenya - Binyavanga Wainaina, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor
South Africa - Nadine Gordimer, J.M. Coetzee, Mary Watson, Henrietta Rose-Innes
Nigeria - Ben Okri, Helon Habila, S.A. Afolabi (Segun Afolabi), E. C. Osondu
Egypt/Sudan/UK - Leila Aboulela
Uganda - Monica Arac de Nyeko
Zimbabwe/UK - Brian Chikwava
Although most of these stories were too literary for my taste (as in, less plot, more thoughts and I was often confused =D), it was very interesting to visit so many countries and meet so many different cultures and people in one volume!
A quote from Discovering Home by Binyavanga Wainaina:
"Back on the choosing to see business: I know, chances are I will see no elephants for the weeks I am here. I will see people. It occurs to me that if I was White, chances are I would choose to see elephants - and this would be a very different story. That story would be about the wide, empty spaces people from Europe yearn to get lost in, rather than the cosy surround of kin we Africans generally seek.
Whenever I read something by some White writer who stopped by Kenya, I am astounded by the amount of game that appears for breakfast at their patios and the snakes that drop into the baths and the lions that terrorise their calves. I have seen one snake in my life. I don't know anybody who has ever been bitten by one."
Cynical Orange vol.1-3
"The life of hottest girl in school is not easy. Sure, all the boys in school are in love with you, but it also means that every girl in school is trying to destroy your life! Vicious rumors and gossip follow everywhere you go. But Hye-Min Hwang is not a delicate damsel in distress. She knows that there is nothing more satisfying than sweet revenge. That is, if it were not for her secret crush, Jung-Yun. He makes her want to hide her cynical dark side, put on an innocent, pretty face, and endure all the backstabbing lies. But when she finds out that he's the only guy in school who hasn't fallen for her, it's time for Hye-min's sweet revenge."
The more I read, the darker it all seemed under the surface. Hye-Min has a strange relationship with her cousin, I think it might be very unhealthy. Is he helping her or is he pushing her to become what he wants her to be? I wonder how things will develop for them in later volumes.
Devoted: 38 Extraordinary Tales of Love, Loyalty, and Life With Dogs
"In this heartwarming gift book, author Rebecca Ascher-Walsh presents a collection of inspiring dog stories and touching photos – dogs who comfort veterans, dogs who learn to surf, dogs who detect cancer, and dogs who save the day: Each one is devoted. These 38 uplifting dog stories showcase the most amazing dog rescues, accomplishments, and abilities that fascinate us and touch our hearts."
Many, many touching stories about pups and their owners, with photos and information about various dog breeds. You might need a handkerchief for reading this book! :)
Putoavan tähden prinsessa
"Rhéta on syntynyt prinsessaksi Rhiandarin satuvaltakuntaan. Näkijöiden mukaan hänen kohtalonaan ei kuitenkaan ole hallita, joten hänen on mentävä lumottuun uneen odottamaan herättäjää. Mutta kun hän herää, maailma on muuttunut ja taikuus, joka ennen piti valtakuntaa pystyssä, on nyt kiellettyä. Mitä on tapahtunut ja mikä merkitys on tähdellä, joka oli syöksymässä maata kohti juuri ennen kuin hän vaipui uneen?"
Finnish fantasy with a non-white protagonist! A princess wakes up from her magical sleep in a new world. The magic is gone, the royal family is nowhere to be seen. Will she find her place in this new world? This novel is written in present tense which felt so strange at times – I'm not used to Finnish books in present tense. It's a dark story, with torture, suicide, war, but when I finished it I didn't feel gloomy. There were many positive things to think about! Bonus points for casual bisexuality of most (all?) characters.
"Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner."
I liked it a bit less than Cinder, but it was fun, too! Adventures of fugitive cyborgs cannot be boring. ;) Plus this time there were also "werewolves" and a tough farm girl. I'll keep reading this series.

During Victorian times, priorities had changed in regard to hunting ghosts and spirits, and this was when ghost hunting started involving more documentation and written accounts. Prior to this era, a religious person was normally summoned to expel a ghost from a house, but in the Victorian age, the emphasis was placed on calling on the services of a spiritualist who was fully cognizant in communicating with the dead, and as efficiently as possible. In this era, it wasn't really about clearing an entity from your house, or even just perceiving them; it was about communicating with them, and making a detailed record of all the measures you took.
Ghost photography became a regular thing in the Victorian age. The only trouble with this was that photography was an extremely long and complicated process. This lead to unexplained light spots, orbs and shadows. Since photography was still in its infancy, every new effect could be misinterpreted as a sign of paranormal activity. For instance, if a ghost photographer took a picture with another person's head in it, that head could quite easily be misinterpreted as a spiritual apparition. And even the slightest dot or speck could be mistaken for an orb or similar supernatural mark.
The other popular thing in the era of Victorian ghost hunting was 'ectoplasm.' This was regarded as a substance that made up the ghostly apparition. However, much doubt was cast on the true nature of ectoplasm, as many sceptics believed it could have been anything from manufactured liquid to partially-digested cloth. The famous medium Helen Duncan was noted for regurgitating ectoplasm during her seances. Subsequent eye-witness testimony and photographs clearly show that it was nothing more than just partially-digested cheesecloth. Paranormal experts who were present at such seances always had special equipment on hand ready to mop up and test ectoplasm, should it manifest.

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Although most of them have lived in South Florida for all of their lives, few of the children attending a Specialized Urban Ministries- sponsored camp have ever seen the Atlantic Ocean.
``Some have never seen the beach,`` said camp director Eleanor Welch. Approximately 110 inner-city children will attend the camp at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park this year.
Welch said to ensure the children`s safety, she can`t take all of them to the beach at the same time, so she`s taking two at a time, opening their eyes to a world they`ve never seen before.
Camp Outreach began last week with 55 children and continues this week with another group of children from throughout Broward County.
Specialized Urban Ministries is an ecumenical organization dedicated to identifying and solving problems in the urban community.
Corrie Miller, 10, a fourth grader at Lake Forest Elementary School in Hollywood, spent last week at the camp romping through the woods, doing art projects and meeting new friends.
If he hadn`t been there, Corrie said he would have continued his summer routine of staying home, watching TV.
Specialized Urban Ministries has sponsored the camp for 9-, 10- and 11-year- old children of low-income or single-parent families since 1972.
``This age is a turning point for most children,`` said Patsy Staletovich. ``In the 7th and 8th grades, children make a decision about which peer group they will follow.``
Welch, a physical education teacher at Plantation Elementary School and Stephen Foster Elementary School in Fort Lauderdale, said the children were recommended for Camp Outreach by agencies such as the Boys Club and the Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority.

advisement, consideration, thought;
alarm (also alarum), alert, caution, cautioning, expostulation, forewarning, remonstrance, remonstration, urging, warning;

In the stock world, guidance refers to public communication from a company regarding earnings expectations.
The world of earnings guidance is large and fluid, whereby the management of publicly traded companies issue public estimates about what they expect earnings to be for the coming quarter. Guidance is based on management's experience, calculations and outlook, and it significantly influences the analysts covering the stock, because the analysts incorporate the information into their own research and earnings forecasts for their clients.
Before August 2000, it was legal for public companies to provide guidance to chosen analysts rather than publicly disclose their guidance. The SEC's adoption of Regulation FD in August 2000 prohibited this selective disclosure of material nonpublic information, and public companies must now publicly disseminate guidance and earnings estimates to analysts all at the same time.
When management becomes aware that the company probably will not meet the expectations it previously communicated, the company typically issues a profit warning via press release or conference call with analysts several weeks before announcing quarterly earnings.
Guidance considerably influences stock prices because it helps investors evaluate a stock's potential. If investors expect a company to report, say, $0.10 in earnings per share next quarter, but the company actually reports $0.08, many investors might sell the stock and the company's stock price will therefore probably fall after the announcement. Conversely, if the company reports $0.12, the stock price will probably rise. The degree of "miss" or "surprise" influences how much the stock price will change. This is why guidance is usually a company's attempt to "soften the blow" or "fluff the pillows" before announcing earnings.
Some companies do not give guidance. They usually make that choice to reduce legal liability in the event that management's estimates are wrong. Some analysts claim that companies that do not offer any guidance often receive a "break" on stock price changes when these companies miss earnings, because the market is aware that the company's management has given the analysts (and their resulting estimates) no input.
: help or advice that tells you what to do : the act or process of guiding someone or something

Saving a Snapping Turtle
08 Jul 2013
It all started a long long time ago, actually it was this morning while driving to work but a story sounds much better if it was a long long time ago so we will stick with that. Anyhow, I was driving my chariot to work when I noticed a rather large snapping turtle in the middle of the road. A sea turtle might make a better story but that might be hard to believe since I live on a lake and not close to the ocean.
Back to the story….so I saw a turtle in the road and felt the need to save it before it became road kill. Now I'm not some sort of saint or anything, I made the turtle get undressed for some nude photos before and during it's lol rescue. Like I've seen done before, I tried to get it to bite a piece of wood so I could have it hold on while I grab it by it's tail and carry it to safety. The turtle was laughing at my efforts and I'm pretty sure calling me some nasty names since it would attack the wood rather violently but never latch on long enough for me to pick her up by her tail.
Noticing a neighbor walking up the street who is a retired cop, I figured he must have some experience with animals in the road or at least direct traffic so the turtle and me don't get run over. Over the next 10-15 minutes we tried everything until we just took two boards and pushed the turtle across the road to safety. Note-it's easier to push a large turtle across a road on it's shell/back than when they are able to grab the road with their massage claws!
Looking back, I have no doubt I saved the turtle from getting run over but I'm not sure if we put her on the side of the road she wanted to be on. Oh well, I guess it's a 50/50 chance…. I searched Youtube for a proper method of moving snapping turtles and found the following video, it's a little insane since the guy teaches you how to carry them by their belly but worth a look at if you want to save one or bring one home alive for turtle soup.

Biker News
INDIAN Motorcycle Racing continues its incredible return to American Flat Track with yet another 'one—two' finish. The 1st and 2nd place finish marks the race team's third time to occupy those positions in as many weeks.
Through the first three weeks of the season, Smith and Mees, who each won the Charlotte Half Mile in 2015 and 2016, respectively, have podiumed each race in 2017. Opening the season on the Indian Scout FTR750, Smith has recorded a 2nd, 3rd, and now a 1st place finish, while Mees earned Indian's first flat track victory in more than 60 years at the DAYTONA TT season opener.
Mees followed up the historic night with a consecutive win at Atlanta Short Track followed by this strong 2nd place finish in Charlotte.
After winning Semi 1, Smith started from second position flanked by his fellow Indian Motorcycle Racing teammates Brad Baker (first position) and Mees (third position). After running the first several laps from second place, Smith made the pass into the lead with more than half of the race remaining. Mees started to approach Smith but was ultimately denied as Smith ran a solid race and even recorded the night's fastest lap.
"Indian's original 'Wrecking Crew' received the nickname from winning so frequently and 'wrecking' everyone else's weekend," said Gary Gray, Product Director for Indian Motorcycle. "With three consecutive 'one—two' finishes, including a podium sweep, and seven of nine podiums, I'd say it's a pretty good bet today's 'Wrecking Crew' is doing the same."

So many things
So many things, have ur-gen-cy.
So many things, are crying for mercy.
So many things, are desperately needed.
I came on here the other night with something like that in my head. I was thinking of all the solicitations from charities I've been getting lately, and all of the causes that called them into existence.
But I stopped to check in on some of the less frequent posters to my friends list, and discovered a personal crisis that just seemed to reinforce the sentiment.
I think I've been a little down recently anyway; perhaps it was an oncoming sore throat. I may have felt it slightly the last few days, but Friday I was a little out of it; that got better as the day wore on, but sore throat and cough also reached that point where I had to acknowledge them.
I had been planing to go on a trip for martial arts this weekend, but decided that spreading a virus around Iowa wouldn't really help anything; ;^)
I have been feeling a little bet better, and it seems almost hard to feel down on a nice sunny day. I'm somewhat torn between going out to enjoy the weather, or taking rest in light of my illness.
Meanwhile, finally executing an idea I had some time ago, I've started keeping a food diary. Between all the talk about carbohydrates, diary, and wheat, I've been curious if any of these things really have an effect.

To the Sports Editor:
Coach Mike Jarvis's initial wish that the N.C.A.A. would ''disappear'' is surely the wrong reaction to the suspension of Erick Barkley, however unjustified the suspension may have been. It is like arguing that because a policeman misbehaved, the police force should be eliminated.
Certainly, Coach Jarvis must recognize that sports should play a proper role within the basic educational purpose of a college, and that there are abuses relating to educational standards and recruiting that must be controlled in order to achieve this.
It would have been possible to protest the unfairness of the N.C.A.A. ruling suspending Barkley without suggesting that the N.C.A.A. disappear. Jarvis is sending the wrong message to student athletes: that sports are so primary that they should not be the subject to effective control. This attitude encourages a prima donna jock mentality that ill equips the student athlete to meet the frustrations and realities of life after school ends.
