Castello di Ama Al Poggio Chardonnay 2014
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
One of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery and history, Tuscany is the world's most important outpost for the Sangiovese grape. Ranging in style from fruity and simple to complex and age-worthy, Sangiovese makes up a significant percentage of plantings here, with the white Trebbiano Toscano coming in second.
Within Tuscany, many esteemed wines have their own respective sub-zones, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The climate is Mediterranean and the topography consists mostly of picturesque rolling hills, scattered with vineyards.
Sangiovese at its simplest produces straightforward pizza-friendly wines with bright and juicy red fruit, but at its best it shows remarkable complexity and ageability. Top-quality Sangiovese-based wines can be expressive of a range of characteristics such as sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs, leather, fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco. Brunello expresses well the particularities of vintage variations and is thus popular among collectors. Chianti is associated with tangy and food-friendly dry wines at various price points. A more recent phenomenon as of the 1970s is the "Super Tuscan"—a wine made from international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese. These are common in Tuscany's coastal regions like Bolgheri, Val di Cornia, Carmignano and the island of Elba.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it's grown and how it's made. In Burgundy, Chardonnay produces some of the finest white wines in the world, typically tending towards minimal intervention in the winery and at its best resulting in remarkable longevity. This grape is popular throughout the world, but perhaps its second most important home is in California, where both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines enjoy great popularity. Oregon, Australia, South America, South Africa, and New Zealand are also significant producers of Chardonnay.
In the Glass
When planted on cool sites, Chardonnay's flavors tend towards grapefruit, green apple, minerals, and white stone fruit, while warmer locations coax out richer, more tropical flavors of fig, melon, and pineapple. Oak can add notes of vanilla, coconut, and spice (as well as texture), while malolactic fermentation can impart soft, buttery acidity.
Perfect Pairings
Chardonnay is as versatile at the table as it is in the vineyard. The crisp, clean, Chablis-like styles go well with simple seafood, light chicken dishes, and salads. Richer Chardonnays marry well with cream or oil-based sauces.
Sommelier Secret
Since the 1990s, big, oaky, buttery Chardonnays from California have enjoyed explosive popularity. More recently, the pendulum has begun to swing in the opposite direction, towards a clean, crisp style that rarely utilizes new oak. These Old-World style wines have been dubbed the "New California Chardonnays," and anyone who claims they do not like Chardonnay should give them a try.

The galeas ship type
The galeas is a small type of trade ship, which was common in the Baltic Sea and North Sea from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. The galeas was developed from the Dutch galliot, which was rigged in a similar way, but was equipped with a rounded stern. This ship carries the flag of the Baltic seaport Stettin.
The galeas model, photos, description and dimensions
The model was built to plans of Chapman (Frederik Henrik af Chapman, Architectura Navalis Mercatoria, plate XIV, Stockholm 1768).
This model of a galeas is a very beautiful true masterpiece, clearly
showing the elegant forms of the original ship design. Hull and rigging
are worked out in very detail by a very experienced ship modeller.
The ship model is 1 : 50 scale. Length is 69 cm, width 19 cm, height 59 cm.
The ship model is with sails, set like the ship being on starboard tack in quartering wind.
With the ship models goes a purpose-built display case. The display case length is 79 cm, width 28 cm, height 62 cm.
Please take your time to have a good look at the set of photos. There
several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions,
and several
closer views of hull, deck and rigging.

January 28, 2008
Champaign, IL (UWIRE) -- he raucous crowd that packed Atkins Tennis Center last Friday was treated to an interesting exhibition match following doubles play.
While the men's tennis team took a breather from their battle with visiting No. 1 Virginia, Illini football players took to the courts.
Linebacker Brit Miller worked the crowd while quarterbacks Juice Williams and Phil Haig faced-off against offensive linemen Eric Block and Jack Cornell.The two gunslingers prevailed 6-3 in a match that proved the players are certainly better suited for play on the gridiron and not the tennis court.
Williams chalked up his performance to a severe lack of experience.
"I've played tennis one other time and that was this time last year, and I was terrible," Williams said.
"I didn't keep the ball in play one time last year. I did a lot better this year."
Haig, who boasts three all-conference honors in tennis from his high school days, played the role of ringer for the quarterbacks.
The freshman landed a couple of strong serves that overpowered the linemen, though Block and Haig did exchange some impressive volleys.
"Eric Block did a very nice job with the serves and forehands and volleys," Haig said. "And Jack ... yeah, he was there too."
There was a certain level of competitive spirit in the exhibition, with some friendly verbal jabs coming from both sides of the net.
"I'm not going to lie, Eric Block did well today," Cornell said.
"But Phil Haig has a reputation of being an all-universe tennis player back in the great state of Minnesota, where I guess tennis is king."
In the end, Haig's experience and Williams' slight improvement was enough to seal a win for the quarterbacks in front of roughly 1,200 people in attendance.
"I thought it was complete domination," Haig said.

I don't have a very good track record making sweaters for my family. I already told you about the gothic hoodie I made for my son that he won't wear. But did I ever tell you about my mother's sweater?
Two years ago, I bought a couple of books about making jackets, anticipating that when my son's Social Security survivor benefits ran out, I would have to start making more of the Christmas presents for members of the family. The books were filled with beautifully knit jackets that I thought would appeal to my mom and aunt (yes, Aunt Lauretta, the one who requested I not knit her anything after I bought the books).
I showed the books to my mother, and she immediately picked a blue sweater jacket on the cover of one of the books. It was made with sport weight yarn, which I don't usually stash, so we went to dinner one night next door to a Michael's where she could look at yarn.
She picked a Bernat Chunkee Boucle yarn. Not only was it bulky weight instead of sport, but its texture would completely hide the textured pattern of the sweater. This should've been my first clue about how this project would go. But no, I did have this yarn in my stash, so we didn't buy anything that night. I went home and eventually made a test swatch and recalculated the gauge and started knitting.
Mind you, I was making a lot of prayer shawls at the time that were infinitely easier to knit, and somehow, those were more appealing. So the sweater languished. Christmas came and went, and Mom was a little miffed.
In 2008, I tried to get more serious about the sweater, but frankly, I wasn't enjoying it. The sweater seemed to be coming out smaller than I had anticipated, and I was worried. The yarn wasn't as fun to work with as I expected, and the whole project was becoming less and less appealing. When I got to the armholes, I realized that the pattern called for dropped-shoulder styling, and I didn't think Mom would like that. When I asked her, she said no. So I had to redesign the armholes for set-in sleeves.
By this time, the sweater was looking nothing like the sweater on the cover of the book. But I plugged on.
Late last year, as Christmas rolled around again, I finished up the sleeves and found some buttons. In fact, I found 3 different styles of buttons and gave Mom a choice. This involved going first to Walmart and then to Fabricland. She chose a style that I had first liked, then rejected, so I used her choice. Then she didn't like them. I forget what happened exactly, but I remember that when I gave it to her, she ended up taking off all the buttons, sewing up most of the button holes and then sewing a different, larger, novelty button at the top. She was going to wear it with just one button.
So she wore it to a luncheon with her friend, Sheila, who convinced her to go back to the original style with buttons all the way down.
By this time, of course, I hated the sight of the thing, but Mom gave it back to me and asked me to restore the button holes and the buttons. My friend Gail told me I was nuts to put up with this. I shared this with my mother and told her Gail was right, but I did this in a joking way because I knew I would change the buttons for her, and I eventually did. Took a few weeks for me to get around to it, though. And I felt guilty about that. I finally did it last spring, and to this day, I have no idea if she ever wears the thing.
I have secretly wondered for 2 years if I had made the original sweater and stuck to the pattern, would she have been happier with the final result? I kinda think she would've.
It just so happens that in the same book as the one I'm using for Aunt Sue, there is a top-down version of the same sweater that Mom originally liked with the same pattern stitch and the same dropped shoulders. It's from a different designer, though, and as far as I can tell, the main differences are that it is in worsted-weight, not sport-weight, yarn, it's longer than the one she picked out, and it has a V-neck instead of a crew neck. I like the fact that it's worsted weight, changing the length is no problem, and changing the neck wouldn't be a problem, either.
Sue's sweater is going so fast, I'm really tempted to make Mom this other sweater for Christmas. I'm sure I could do it. And I'd make it with the dropped shoulders, too, because frankly, the stitch pattern makes the dropped shoulders less noticeable, and if 2 designers made their versions that way, they must know what they're doing. I have some Vanna's Choice yarn in Sapphire that I think would be perfect, and it would ease all the guilt I feel if I made it and she likes it.
What do you think? Should I give it a go? If I do, it will probably be the only present I knit before Christmas. I mean, no slippers for Lauretta, my cousin Gwenn, or our cousins Jane and Mindy, and Mom just told me we'd be getting together with all of them on the Wednesday before Christmas. And then we see Gwenn and Lauretta again on Christmas, which means more presents. So I'm not sure what to do about this. And Mom informs me that Lauretta has now said I can knit for her after all.
The sooner I get Sue's sweater done, the more time I'm going to have for all this knitting. And there's my SIL's request for a scarf I haven't forgotten. You see all the pressure I put on myself?
Yesterday, I started the first sleeve on Sue's sweater after finishing the body of the sweater the night before. Let's see how far I get this weekend.

It's not easy being an Owl.
The Gators, Seminoles and Hurricanes get all the attention at sporting goods shops and department stores in South Florida. If you're a fan of the Florida Atlantic University Owls, you have to know where to look if you want to buy a T-shirt, hat, flag or coffee mug.
The 7-year-old Florida Atlantic University football team took a step toward the big leagues by winning the Sun Belt Conference championship and receiving a bowl berth faster than any other program in NCAA history. The Owls will take on the University of Memphis Tigers on Friday in the New Orleans Bowl.
On campus, excitement is building and merchandise sales are up. Off campus, it's tougher to find people who give a hoot.
"We're seeing more demand, but it's not large yet," said Dexter Lamont, assistant director of athletics. "It's going to take a little more time."
Merchandise sales at the campus bookstore and online store are up 63 percent from this time last year, officials said. Fans can choose from a wide selection of clothing, license-plate holders, key chains, magnets and stuffed animals, among other items. New Orleans Bowl shirts are the big sellers.
"You see a lot of students on campus wearing FAU shirts," said Natasha Powell, a junior from West Palm Beach. "Before, no one was excited, but now we're starting to get more recognition because the team is doing so well."
No off-campus retailers sell New Orleans Bowl items right now because of licensing issues, Lamont said. Fans heading to New Orleans will be able to buy FAU bowl merchandise at the Louisiana Superdome and at the Sheraton, the official FAU hotel.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 ESV
The Bible is God's word telling us about himself, his plan to bring glory and honor to himself through the Lord Jesus Christ, and about his desire to share his love and riches with a people rescued from sin by Jesus, the Son of God. This plan involves making that rescued or saved people God's people. In the OTS the Lord God did not reveal the fullness of his plan, but in the NTS the Spirit tells us that the people are the spiritual body of Christ. This idea is made known in a number of places, but its fullest expression is written in our text for today.
Structure of First Corinthians
- Introduction (1:1-9)
- Response to information about the church in Corinth (1:10-6:20)
- Response to questions from the church in Corinth (7:1-16:4)
- Conclusion (16:4-24)
Ideas and features of First Corinthians
- Paul planted the church in Corinth with the help of Aquila and his wife Priscilla (Ac 18:1-4) and Silas and Timothy (Ac 18:5). He invested eighteen months in planting this church (Ac 18:11)
- The letter is the Lord's response to the situation that Paul received about that local church and to questions from its members; notice carefully that they wanted apostolic instruction
- One of the key concepts is the way that Paul teaches them with a Christ-structured perspective; study the letter and see how he continually forms his teaching around the Lord Jesus; in addition, the letter is very Trinitarian
- First Corinthians is very useful for leading a church towards a godly way of life in Christ Jesus; Paul emphasizes Christ's death on the cross and his resurrection and builds on those gospel events; throughout it directs love and concern for those in Christ
- Chapter thirteen is the "love chapter" and chapter fifteen is the "resurrection chapter"; sadly however, Christians seem more interested in controversial matters in the letter than on the graces of faith, hope, and love that the letter teaches (13:13)
The apostle talks about the body of Christ in the context of answering questions about spiritual gifts. In the process, he sets forth a few basic ideas about the church.
I. The principle of God's sovereignty in the forming of Christ's body
A.The Spirit of God puts us into the body of Christ, the church.
1.He enables us to make the basic confession "Jesus is Lord" (12:3; cf. Rm 10:9-10). Apart from God's grace we are unable to respond positively to God. We are corrupted by sin to the roots of our being. Sin has made us unable (cf. Jn 3:5; 8:43; 14:17; Rm 8:7-8; 1 Cor 12:3). This is the first of the doctrines of grace—radical corruption. The good news is that the Holy Spirit is able to make you able to call on the Lord and be saved. This is the fourth of the doctrines of grace—effective grace. At the root of our position in Christ's body is a shared experience of God's saving grace. This fuels a passion for one another and charges a mutual respect for one another. In the church you are with people who have known the hand of God in their salvation.
2.The Holy Spirit baptizes or immerses every believer into the body of Christ. The point the apostle Paul makes here is this ends all ethnic and socio-economic divisions among those in Christ's spiritual body. We all receive together the fulfillment of Christ's promise (12:13; cf. Jn 7:37-39). Everyone in the Christ's new people is the recipient of the Spirit. Again, this is a level but very high position to share. When we take it seriously, it transforms the way we view all other Christians.
B.The Holy Spirit assigns our place in the body of Christ (12:4-11).
1.The Spirit carries out the will of the Father and the Son.
2.The Spirit assigns spiritual gifts to each one according to his determination (12:11). You and I did not walk through a "cafeteria line" to choose which gift or gifts we wanted. The all-wise Spirit of God knew what gift or gifts to give us what gifts we needed to function properly in the body. At this point or somewhere along the line, someone wonders, "How can I know what spiritual gift or gifts I possess?" The answer is simple. Start to serve the Lord in a local church and your spiritual gifts will be seen by others.
Apply: As we move forward together serving the Lord, our gifts in this local assembly will be demonstrated, and if we need some person with another gift, the Holy Spirit will send or save such a person and add them to our number. This is where it gets exciting!
II. The principles of unity and diversity in Christ's body – both are present together and both are necessary
A.The principle of unity
1.This unity flows from the unity of the Trinity. God's "community" creates the gospel community. Though there are different gifts, service, and kinds of working, there is the same Spirit, Lord, and God. This, as Paul had already taught in this letter, builds a correct regard for Christ's ministers. All serve the Lord together, and for this reason, we must never boast in one above another (3:1-23). Christians must grow up and understand clearly that it is a trap of Satan to boast in men (4:6-7).
2.This unity strives for the common good (12:7). Anyone who acts to exalt self acts very foolishly. Your place in the Lord's body and your gifts were given by the Spirit so that you might benefit others. Our culture delights in self-exaltation; Jesus culture seeks for Jesus exaltation, and this happens as all his people are benefitted by each other. To Jesus there are no little people—and no superstars! If you don't grasp this, prayerfully read Matthew 11 about fifty times. The flesh talks about who is first, the Spirit about who is benefitted. If you want to be great, be the servant of all (Mk 9:33-35). And you are really not serving anyone until you act for their good!
3.This unity is real, because there is only one body (12:12-13). And it is Christ's body, not the creation of people. If we assume we can create a body, be assured that it will not be the body of Christ. It will be a spurious, cheap imitation. But if we are in Christ together, all the parts are pulled irresistibly toward the Lord and love reigns in his body.
B.The principle of diversity
1.There are a variety of parts in the body of Christ (12:14-20). As Paul illustrates, one is a hand, another a foot, another an ear, and still another an ear. And each part is necessary for a functioning body. You might have beautiful green eyes, but if you were covered with green eyes, somehow you would not be quite as attractive. Everybody loves a good set of ears, but at some point your nose might save your life. The Holy Spirit has set you where you are needed! Trust him; rejoice in the function he has given to you. An old children's song said, "If the Lord makes you a drummer, be a drummer for the Lord. If the Lord makes you a plumber, be a plumber for the Lord." The same holds true for every believer in Jesus.
2.The different functions require different spiritual gifts (12:8-10, 28-30). The questions in the second list are asked so that they demand the negative answer "no". The Spirit makes you a certain part of Christ's body and then gives you the spiritual gift to do it. Do not waste your life wishing for a different gift. "Bloom where you're planted."
III. The principle of mutual concern in Christ's body
A.All members need each other.
1.Every part needs the other parts in order to function properly (12:21). Eyes are wonderfully designed for one kind of work and hands for another. Neither can do what the other does. Your lack of ability to do something doesn't mean that you are some sort of a second class citizen. Nor does it mean that someone else is somehow better than you. It simply means that you are different because God made you that way, he loves all his people.
2.Some parts might seem "less honorable". But this spurs us on to seek special honor for certain members. The important idea is to show equal concern for each other. Now, this is a great challenge, especially when education or economic level or social status or ethnicity or age makes us different!
Illustration: I thank God over and over for my two years in Rock Hill as a preacher boy. I had a lot to learn about honoring all parts of the body of Christ. My dear southern friends did a superb job of accepting a northern guy and his fiancée, and patiently allowed me time to grow to like beans and cornbread for supper, to accept Yankee jokes in good humor, and to grow as a young believer. Some situations could have been testy, to say the least, but the Lord gave mutual grace to persevere to love and good works.
B.All members receive honor together and suffer together (12:26).
1.This is an unexpected twist! Everyone gets honored for the health and growth of the body together. Where love, joy, and peace reign, such people will be honored. Where souls are brought to our Lord and Savior, all will receive honor for their part in it, regardless of what you did.
2.On the other hand, if one part of the body suffers, every part suffers with it. This is something that people do not want to see. We wrongly assume that we can wall ourselves off from the trials and problems of other. "Oh, we lost an arm? So what, we have another one!" And we can deceive ourselves that we're doing fine until we lose the second arm.
Apply: My dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to show equal concern for one another. This is God's will for every local assembly. Yet you cannot live as a Christian, unless you are first in Christ by grace through faith. Do you have a living, active, personal relationship with the Lord Jesus? Or are you simply being religious? It may be that the Spirit of God has pointed out a serious deficiency in you through this chapter. If so, turn to the Lord now; seek true, spiritual change from him.
~ Dave

Wow. This is some of the most blatant content marketing I've ever seen. Your site claims to offer reviews, plural, not a single obviously promotional review. It's 2016. Consumers hate that crap. Get with it.
When you think of mixed martial arts, there's only one brand that you can think of—Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC. The company is arguably the main reason why MMA has become a global sport, and its influence has expanded with the opening of the UFC gym.
UFC Gym is actually a new player in the health and fitness industry, having been opened in 2009. The very first gym in Concord, California has spawned more than 115 UFC gyms located in 28 states in the United States. Expansion of the UFC Gym abroad has also started with one outlet in Sydney, Australia.
Rating: (8/10)
UFC Gym has 115 clubs in 28 out of the 50 states in the U.S. California has the most number of UFC gyms with more than 30. Other states that have multiple numbers of UFC gyms are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
Rating: (10/10)
Like most health and fitness club franchises, membership fees in UFC gyms vary depending on the location. Enrollment fees range from $75 to $150.

If you are the type of person who finds it hard to squeeze time for working out, you'll love enrolling in UFC gym because most of its clubs are open either 24/7 or have extending operating hours.
UFC gyms are usually packed during the weekends, thus you might want to skip that time of the day if you are not comfortable working out with a lot of people.
Rating: (10/10)
The usual misconception that people have with UFC gyms is that it is built for the hardcore trainer and thus does not have the amenities designed for other members of the family like children. On the contrary, there are UFC gyms with kids' area where children can stay behind and let their parents work out and train.
Of course, if you are a gym rat your priority would be on training. You won't be disappointed working out in any UFC gym because of the amenities like grappling room where you can put your wrestling skills to the test; group fitness studio where you can participate in a long list of fitness classes; and bag room where you can box.
There are also assigned rooms for personal training, weight training, and cardiovascular training.
Once you're done with your training, you can cool down at the ArmBar café or check out the accessories at the retail store. Sauna is also a common in most UFC gyms.
Rating: (10/10)
UFC gyms are manned by personal coaches that can help members achieve their fitness goals fast. UFC gym coaches are very knowledgeable not only in training but also other aspects of fitness like diet and bodybuilding supplements.
UFC gyms also offer free guest pass. This gives access to non-members for a limited period of time, allowing the gym goers to experience what it is like working out in a UFC gym. It also helps them determine if they'd like to pursue a UFC gym membership or not.
In terms of customer service, UFC gyms are also well-rated by their members. All UFC gyms have their own websites, so you would know what to expect the moment you step in the gym. Listed in the websites are the names and positions of the staff manning the gym, and you can even contact them through email by clicking their names or positions.

Training in a UFC Octagon is one huge reason why a lot of people are signing up to become UFC gym members. Aside from the thrill of working out ala-MMA star, UFC gym members also love the excellent amenities, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and state of the art equipment in most UFC gyms.

Two things that really make a piece of writing stand out is how well it engages the audience and/or how much the creator has invested in it emotionally. One way to do this to use the senses, the other is to be unflinchingly honest. Either way latches onto our emotions and has us irrevocably attached to what has been produced.
Seeing as I am a writer I'll use my own words and the senses as my first example. The girl sat under the tree. Freaking boring sentence isn't it? Almost pained me to write it. The girl sat under the willow tree, the dirt and dead leaves sticking to her legs. Add in the sense of touch and it gets a bit better. Suddenly you can picture underneath the tree and what sort it is much more clearly.
Add another sentence. The girl sat under the willow tree, the dirt and dead leaves sticking to her legs. The willow's fronds tickled as the breeze gently played with them causing a peel of laughter. Now you know she's happy, even though it hasn't been stated as such, simply shown through the use of touch and sound.
One more sentence. The girl sat under the willow tree, the dirt and dead leaves sticking to her legs. The willow's fronds tickled as the breeze gently played with them causing a peel of laughter. Bright sunshine and warmth filtered through the branches as if reacting to her presence. Now we know it's day time and the weather is warm and so is this girl.
The above scene is pretty generic and by no means brilliant, but what it does do is use the senses to draw you in and make you wonder about her. That first sentence was as boring as watching grass grow and in no way engaged the reader. The audience doesn't want to be told how to react to something, they want to be made to feel and the quickest way to do that is to immerse them into your writing, regardless of what type it is.
My second example is Constance Hall, a blogger from Fremantle, Western Australia. Constance is a big deal with over a million followers and has had a recent book published, Like a Queen. She writes that the reason for her success is because she loves her audience and I have to say that I agree 100%. Whether you are reading her blog posts or her book you can feel her honesty and that she cares. What she is writing is exactly what she means, no mucking around. It is a brilliant example of emotional investment on behalf of the creator.
You can pick her writing apart if you care to, I don't. This is simply because it would ruin the value of what Constance has produced. She writes from the heart, everything laid bare for her audience because she cares that much for them and they in turn care for her. Read her book, you'll feel like you're sitting down with her having a few wines (or ciders in my case) and chatting about life. If that isn't immersion I don't know what is.
So how to achieve that in your own writing? Care and don't be afraid to show it. Whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction, if you don't particularly care about the writing or something is holding you back from full on committing, the reader will feel it and consequently not care either. A truly great piece of writing stays with us forever and that is because it has pulled on our emotions. Don't let fear hold you back. As that saying goes, shoot for the moon and if you miss at least you'll land among the stars.
Happy creating everyone!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for inviting me out to the club meeting last month, it was a fun chat and a good chance to meet so many people I'd only chatted to online.
Just a heads up that I'll be away for a bit.
Going overseas for a trade show and then moving house when I get back.
I'm going to stop taking wiring orders this week because I won't have time to make them up and send them out. I'll will of course clear my backlog and fulfill any outstanding orders before I go. There's 5 in the queue right now.
I'm away from 11/4/16 to 26/4/16 so if you're not in a hurry would you mind holding back on PMs and orders until after the 26th?
I'll pop up online while I'm away and I'll answer what PMs I can, the response time will just be a bit longer than usual.
The move will give me a much bigger workshop for more Amarok adventures, so stay tuned, I'll be ramping up the wiring business.
I'm looking forward to running club wiring workshop there once the dust has settled. I'll finally have space for a hoist, so getting that in will be a priority and it will get put to good use cabling up Amaroks..
Thanks for your support and understanding,
Pete Jones

Hypospadias is a condition in infant boys in which the opening that carries urine out of the body (the urethra) is on the underside, rather than the tip, of the penis. It's a congenital condition, or present at birth, and that's when you or your child's doctor may first notice it.
There are different degrees of hypospadias, with the urethral opening appearing anywhere along the length of the penile shaft. Most are mild or moderate and a small percentage are severe. Hypospadias may cause your child to have a deflected urine stream.
There may also be other penile abnormalities associated with hypospadias. For example, the skin that covers the urethra is often thin and poorly developed and can result in bending of the penis, causing it to curve. This curvature is called a chordee. Although hypospadias may run in families, there's no single known cause of the condition.
You might feel worried if your son is born with hypospadias, but you should know that it is a common condition. Nemours pediatric urologists are experienced at repairing the problem and restoring the appearance and function of your child's penis.
Our Nemours urologists correct hypospadias with surgery that is usually performed when your son is older than 4 months of age. Depending on the severity of hypospadias, our doctor may perform straightening of the penis, relocation of the meatus (urethra opening) to the tip of the penis and the creation of a cosmetic glans (head of the penis) and penile shaft.
The goal of hypospadias repair is to normalize urination, create normal erections, and to improve the cosmetic appearance of the penis. The surgery is often same day surgery, and the overall results are excellent, with children going on to have normal urinary and sexual function in adulthood.

Urine Test: Calcium
What It Is
A urine calcium test is done to determine how much of the mineral calcium is being excreted in the urine (pee) by the kidneys.
Why It's Done
A urine test for calcium is often done to:
- help find the cause of kidney stones and other kidney diseases
- detect overactivity or underactivity in the parathyroid glands (glands in the neck that make hormones that help control the level of calcium in the blood)
- monitor disorders of the kidney and diseases of calcium metabolism
The test results also may point to digestive disorders that harm the small intestine's ability to absorb nutrients. The urine calcium test is usually used in combination with other tests to make a specific diagnosis.
The doctor might prescribe a special diet with high or low levels of calcium for a few days before the test. Your child might need to temporarily stop taking specific drugs, such as antacids, that affect calcium levels in the urine.
The Procedure
Collecting the specimen should only take a few minutes. Your child will be asked to pee into a clean sample cup in the doctor's office. If your child isn't potty trained and can't urinate into a cup, a small catheter may need to be inserted into the bladder to get the urine specimen.
Alternatively, a urine collection bag with adhesive tape on one end may be used to collect a sample from an infant. You'll clean your baby's genital area and then arrange the bag around the urinary opening. Once the bag is in place, secure it with the attached tape. You can then put a diaper on your baby. Check your baby's collection bag and remove it after your child has urinated, usually within an hour.
After you bring the sample to the lab, technicians will analyze it for calcium content.
What to Expect
Because the test involves normal urination, there shouldn't be any discomfort as long as your child can provide a urine specimen.
Getting the Results
The results of the urine calcium test are usually available in 1-2 days. Your doctor will go over the results with you and explain what they mean. If abnormalities are found, your doctor may may want to do further tests to make a specific diagnosis.
Infants may occasionally experience skin irritation from the adhesive tape on the collection bag. If a catheter is used to obtain the urine, it may cause temporary discomfort. If you have any questions or concerns about this procedure, talk to your doctor.
Helping Your Child
Urine collections are usually painless. Explaining how the test will be conducted and why it's being done can help ease any fear. Make sure your child understands that there should be no foreign matter, such as toilet paper or hair, in the sample.
If You Have Questions
If you have questions about the urine calcium test, speak with your doctor.

At the Joy of Dance studio in Toronto, a 50-year-old man in baggy dad jeans is working on his "stank face."
Mugging for the camera crew recording him on this sunny July morning, Michael Hope pulls a tough-guy scowl to go with the hip-hop routine he is rehearsing. But it soon morphs into a frown of concentration. His 10-year-old daughter, Lauren, is showing him up. The pint-sized dancer executes every move with precision. He is perpetually half a beat behind, glancing nervously at the unforgiving wall of mirrors. He stumbles slightly, wipes sweat from his brow.
"I went the wrong way."
In five days, they will perform this dance in front of nearly 1,200 people. He has never danced on stage before.
For dad and daughter, it's a chance to spend some time together and to surprise Lauren's mom, Lynne Hoppen – who will cry, of course she will – at the dance school's big summer recital. For the marketers at Quaker Oats Co., it's a way to latch on to an advertising trend: Featuring real people in surprising, emotional situations is one way to attract impatient viewers on digital media that are crowded with advertising messages.
Tugging heartstrings is a popular way to override people's urge to skip ads, and Toronto-based video production agency Studio M has built a particular expertise in this type of work. It's the shop behind those Christmas videos for WestJet Airlines Ltd. Studio M also helped Telus Corp. thank a customer with an unexpected plane ride and a field full of flowers spelling out her name. For a Kraft Canada campaign, they made a mom weep when she was surprised with a storybook about her written by her family.
The agency is like an emotion factory.
"They all want to have the impact that WestJet had," said Mike Mills, executive producer with Studio M. "But there's still a lot of questioning on how exactly to do it. … It's a challenge to tell those stories in unique ways, and to resonate."
That is what PepsiCo Inc.-owned Quaker is hoping to do. The 138-year-old brand has traditionally had a relatively small digital presence. This year, it issued a challenge to all its advertising agencies to change that.
"Mom is spending more time online," said Lindsay Ho, marketing manager for Quaker in Canada. "There's so much content and so much advertising. This is a really great way to tell an authentic story that traditional advertising doesn't allow you to do."
Much of Quaker's conventional advertising has focused on functional nutritional details, Ms. Ho said. Without an emotional connection, it is harder to be seen online.
Pulling off the surprise took months of preparation. Studio M had not worked with Quaker before; they pitched the company on the idea just before Christmas. Then they began contacting dance schools to find families who might be willing to appear in an ad for Quaker. Lauren told her parents she wanted to audition.
When her family was selected, Ms. Hoppen was told that it would be a "documentary-style" commercial following the kind of busy real-life family that uses its products. The camera crew filmed scenes in the kitchen featuring oatmeal and snacks of granola bars in the car on the way to activities.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hope began taking clandestine hip-hop lessons and secretly practised his moves.
When Joy of Dance school's recital day arrived, a morning rehearsal allowed the camera crew to record some closeups of the daddy-daughter dance – details such as hands or feet moving. All footage of their faces onstage had to be live. When the audience filed in to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre at Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition grounds, the auditorium was wired for sound. Six cameras were tasked with different shots, transmitting footage directly to a control booth at the back of the theatre. The director communicated with the crew through walkie-talkies.
These types of campaigns take far more planning to execute than the average ad shoot, since there is just one chance to capture the story.
"If you miss the moment, it's gone," Mr. Mills said. "That is, obviously, a big difference to traditional commercial production, where you can get to take 39 of the milk pour."
Ms. Hoppen had a camera on her in the line to get in, for what she thought was a straightforward Quaker ad. With her family in the spotlight, it was a bad time for her husband not to show up.
The ruse was that Lauren had forgotten part of her costume. Mr. Hope left to retrieve it, and in reality, he went backstage. Under the direction of the Studio M creatives, he sent text messages to his wife telling her he was rushing to get back for the performance. The crew around her feigned ignorance.
"She was annoyed," Mr. Mills said. "Yeah, she was super annoyed."
When the lights went down, Mr. Hope's seat was still empty.
Lauren appeared from the wings, and dedicated her performance to her mom and dad. The seat was still empty as Lauren began to dance. Suddenly, as Ms. Hoppen watched, her husband appeared on stage too.
"I went from laughing to tears," she said afterward. "The whole place went crazy."
The video is fine-tuned for maximum sniffles. In a voice-over, Mr. Hope talks about the feeling that haunts all parents: That in the blink of an eye his three kids will be going off to college, getting married and building lives that won't allow him to see them every day. He speaks of the pressure to make this time count.
For Quaker, the hope is that this will hit close to home for the parents who are its target customers, and that they will share the video in the types of social-media posts where friends and family are instructed to "get out the Kleenex."
Studio M is also hoping for success, of course, but Mr. Mills worries it could become more difficult to surprise people.
"One thing we've talked about is, do we need to start going in with aliases," he said. "You Google any of our names and you get WestJet Christmas pretty quickly ... We'll just put on wigs and have those little detective mustache-noses."
The Hope family, who were paid an honorarium for their time, enjoyed the WestJet commercial, and are crossing their fingers that this story has a similar heartwarming effect.
"If they're done right, they're beautiful," Ms. Hoppen said of marketing videos featuring real people. "And if not done right, you don't get past the first 10 seconds."
"We hope it's something people can relate to," Mr. Hope said. "We hope it's not one of those things that comes on when you're trying to watch another video and you skip it."Report Typo/Error

Much love,Barbara Dow-TilleyEmotions and Pain
"I went to see Grant at a time when my anxiety was the worst it's ever been. I went into the sessions nervous not knowing what to expect. Grant made me feel very comfortable and safe within the first couple minutes. He was able to explain things in a way that I understood easily. His meditations are very healing and I noticed a difference in my anxiety and my reactions to things that would normally be a trigger to me. I definitely recommend his services! I left my sessions with Grant with the most valuable tools that continue to help me. With these tools I was able to take control back of my life."Cathy MitchellAnxiety
"I was absolutely delighted by the session I had with Grant. I had been interested in hypnotherapy for a long time, but never had an opportunity for a session, and when that opportunity came around with Grant I was more than ready for it! Grant not only delivered my expectations (I love to build up expectations) but exceeded them even, he worked with me as I explored around and figured my way through my subconscious, and guided me to resolve issues and provided very valuable insights as he did so. I felt a lot lighter and relieved after as I made my way back home!"Brian GalatianExploring the Subconscious
"Grant is both a caring intuitive and a skilled hypnotherapy practitioner who cultivated several personalized healing sessions that helped me tune in and connect to a very deep place within myself. His unique ability to listen and tune in to my challenges at the time was exceptional and he found just the right meditation for my needs. I highly recommend Grant to anyone seeking to cultivate a deep, healing connection through his skilled hypnotherapy sessions. It is truly a life changing experience. Thank you Grant!"Kristina TostCaring and Compassion

Studies show when you look at a puzzling image your mind works harder to figure out what is going on…Just that action builds your memory, even if you can't figure it out! If that is true, and you are an avid reader of my somewhat puzzling Mental Health Humor cartoons, then you are no doubt a Harvard scholar by now. 🙂
Mindfulness is more or less translated as "awareness." It is a spiritual/psychological sense of being aware. After I posted my last Mindfulness cartoon "DELETED" post title: Mindfulness: Clear your Mind, I had one of my Facebook friends inform me that being mindful is:
"about letting the thoughts come and go. Letting them have no more impact than sticks floating down a river. It is about recognizing that the thoughts need to be healed in the those still moments"
The problem in my MIND is those sticks are going to meet up and more and more sticks are going to meet up floating down that river and before you know it, a huge wall of sticks have built a damn holding back the river…10 feet to 20 feet high flooding the town and washing away roads. Then the dam will burst and I sure can recognize the wall of rapid water smashing up and uprooting trees and snapping houses like sticks–racing down the river washing away everything… That is what I see with those sticks.
I know Mindfulness has been one of those keywords people use and misuse. I give it a WIDE birth when I think about being mindful or thinking /teaching terminology. While I define mindfulness as "awareness of my thought" and I use it as pertaining to living with Bipolar Disorder and Depression, Self-Injury, PTSD, BED, (for a while BPD)…and a host of other issues and other idiosyncrasies…All things considered, I find it of great importance that my path to enlightenment is being mindful with mirth and laughter to learn to cope with a mind-full of sorrow and pain.
P.S. If You don't get the cartoon, simply: it's a painting of a sky rise hanging in a subbasement of a building. (I have no idea why there is a window cleaner in the painting.)

Eivind Natvig began his career by abandoning his homeland, Norway, for more exotic locales. Believing the cost of living in Oslo was too high, he boarded a plane and transplanted himself to Nepal, where the economy of living allowed him to explore as much as he wanted to. He pursued stories and projects throughout the country as well as in neighboring India and Bangladesh.
But for a variety of reasons, including several bouts with illness, Natvig found himself back at home. During his time abroad, he suffered dengue fever twice in Bangladesh and once in India. His second bout of the fever left him more than thirty pounds lighter and his third bout left him with short-term memory loss. The illness proved to be both a physical and financial burden.
So in 2010, Eivind made his way back to Oslo, where he began to recuperate, slowly gaining back his strength and replenishing his finances. He signed on as as a staff photographer for a small paper—a job that allowed him to travel Norway, gaining a new perspective on his home country.
"Pandora's box was open...I had 8 assignments throughout the country where there was 100% creative control. It was wonderful. I discovered that my countrymen are more welcom[ing] than expected. This country which seemed so remote and so closed to me through all [my] years abroad was not that way at all."
Natvig plans on returning to Asia to continue working on the stories he began there, but for now he says, "I'm pushing myself to do 12 months to shoot this story. You Are Here. To be present. To be here."

" Politics Blog Political news, election updates, for San Francisco CA and national politics Whips! Chains! Politics! Campos planning 'kinky' fundraiser for state Assembly race"
SF Blog
As if politics isn't sexy enough these days, San Francisco Supervisor David Campos will hold a "kinky" fundraiser Monday night at a place that bills itself "the largest fetish porn company in the world" to raise money for his race to represent San Francisco in the state Assembly.
While many candidates raise campaign cash at upscale eateries or casual coffeehouses, Campos is planning a reception at Kink.com's "edgy" pornography studio The Armory Club in San Francisco, a massive Moorish-style brick building that celebrates all things BDSM — an erotic subculture involving dominance, submission, role-playing, and lots of restraining devices.
For $300, Campos' fundraiser promises a studio tour, and a "special brand of entertainment" in the VIP room — along with a bag of goodies. Here's the link to his invite.
Campos is facing fellow Supervisor David Chiu in a race that has just began to heat up. As recently as February, Chiu held a double-digit lead in polls, but Campos has begun to close the margin.
Kink.com owner Peter Acworth, a bondage enthusiast who purchased the landmark Armory building on Mission Street in 2007, is no stranger to politics as of late.
Acworth is seeking the city's permission to convert the Armory into office space, a kind of backup plan he said was needed if state and local health oversight regulations push him out of state.
The invite comes as California Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton (Los Angeles County) is attempting for the second consecutive year to pass a bill that would require condoms in adult films, as well as documentation of protective measures taken during all sexual acts. Cal/OSHA regulations suggest that performers use condoms, as well as dental dams and eye protection to protect against the spread of blood and fluid-borne diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis and herpes. ...

If you or someone you know is getting a divorce, my latest article for The Huffington Post covers 5 positive things that come out of a first marriage:
Almost everybody I've come across who's over 50 and was going through their first divorce said adamantly, "I will never get married again." A few years later, I've been to the weddings of many of those people. After you've been through a divorce, it takes a lot of soul searching to make any post-divorce relationship a permanent one. However, many people seem to be willing to take that step. Having been married once before, you gain a lot of experience and, hopefully, spent some time working on yourself to find out what went wrong so that you can make the new marriage positive. By the way, when I got divorced I said I would never marry again. The second time has been the charm for me!

Photography and video recordings have been a part of the recording and capturing events as they happen to us in our environment.

Three-time Olympic gold-medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings to visit Louisville
Volleyball superstar, Kerri Walsh Jennings, to launch the 30-day countdown to the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship
November 5, 2012
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With only a month until the nation's best volleyball descends on the Derby City, the University of Louisville is igniting their final 30-day countdown to the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship finals by welcoming three-time Olympic gold medalist and former Stanford standout, Kerri Walsh Jennings to Louisville. Walsh Jennings will be the featured guest during an open house event on Monday, November 12 at 6:00 p.m. ET in the Brown and Williamson Club at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The event is free and open to the public.
"Coming off an Olympic year where women dominated the medal stand, Kerri's world class talent and character as a former national champion student-athlete and three-time gold medalist is unprecedented," said Julie Hermann, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director. "What a privilege to have her in Louisville."
Walsh Jennings will sign autographs and be available for fan photos during the open house from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event will also be an excellent opportunity for fans to purchase all-session tickets to the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship finals coming to the KFC Yum! Center on December 13 & 15. All remaining lower level seats will be available for purchase in additional to upper level ticket packages.
The open house will also include appearances by the 12th-ranked University of Louisville Volleyball team and Louisville mascot, Louie, a photo booth, and fun kid's games.
Walsh Jennings, a 6-2 hitter, won two NCAA national championships while at Stanford University (1996 and 1997) and became only the second player in NCAA history to receive First-Team All-American honors all four seasons (1996-1999). She competed with the U.S.A. women's indoor national team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney before teaming with former Long Beach State star Misty May-Treanor to win Olympic gold at Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008, and London in 2012.
"Kerri is an extraordinary role model for women everywhere," said Louisville Head Coach and current president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, Anne Kordes. "Having won two NCAA national titles and three Olympic gold medals, she knows exactly what it takes to excel at the highest level. I cannot wait to welcome Kerri and the future Kerri Walsh Jennings' to our city during this month-long celebration of volleyball during the NCAA championship."
While in Louisville, Walsh Jennings is also scheduled to speak to several area schools and meet with members of the media.
Walsh Jennings has been married to fellow professional beach volleyball player Casey Jennings since 2005. She is also mom to two sons, Joey and Sundance, and is expecting her third child in April.
Louisville, who has served as host for more than 50 NCAA and BIG EAST Conference Championship events over the past five years, is hosting their first NCAA national championship in Volleyball. The NCAA women's volleyball semifinal matches will be played on December 13 (7 p.m. ET and 9 p.m. ET) followed by the crowning of the national champion on December 15 (7 p.m. ET) at the KFC Yum! Center. The weekend will also include youth clinics, the AVCA National Coaches' Convention, and many fun fan events.
The full 64-team championship bracket will be announced on November 25 at 4 p.m. ET on ESPNU. For more information on the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship, visit www.ncaa.com/volleyball.

|v1.51 / 24 March, 2003
|Supported games:
|Visual Basic
|Closed source
Constipated Silkworm is a simple macro program, written by Megaworm and Annelid in 2003. Its features are concentrated around sending keystrokes to the game, allowing players to simulate a very fast tapping rate for some keys, or to quickly access the parachute. The program has no future plans.
Use of the program can usually be easily detected in an opponent by their inhumanly fast movements.
This program should not be confused with the original Silkworm, written by Deadcode, which has nothing in common with it.

Hi Dave, if you wanted to be a collector of jade one should have started 10 years ago, if you wanted to collect qing jade. The Chinese are obcessive compulsive with white jade that is flawless, without too many crack lines and impurities, typical of what was in fashion during the Qianlong period. Unless you are willing to pay a big sum, you would look at something older and less reflective. Opportunities lies in the Song, Yuan and Ming jade category where pieces had flaws and was of the more celadon and grey shade. The program on CCTV honor of jade part7 explains why. There are several good programs on jade on CCTV website. Such early jade are actually quite rare and several good pieces have emerged in the market recently, from old collections. However one should be weary to avoid the 1930's replica of this category a good eye is required.

Hi Dave, I have visited many antique shops in singapore, I have not seen one that sells authentic jade. Most of these dealers will tell you their jade is new or carved in the old style. Some will go to the trouble of taking out a few from the safe to show you, but still they weren't the type of jade you expected. If you go to Beijing Liulichang lane has a few government antique shops they some real pieces, but not cheap expect to pay mr than $10000USD for a reasonable piece. Antixwest has a branch there. If you go to shanghai the government antique shop at Bund st has some genuine pieces. The specialist is very honest and will steer you to the antique pieces. They are not cheap and most are smaller in size. However if you like to get large pieces of antique jade bigger than 4 inches you would have to bid at auctions . They are not a cheap way to collect but generally pieces sold at auctions are 1/3 the price of retail at most European country. If you need any help with jade pieces post them on this forum there are several experience collectors that can help you. pics of Liulichang Beijing, Government antique shop at Liulichang. Government antique shop at Bund st Shanghai.

Thank you Lee! In fact, mainland Chinese dealers actually bring several good white jade pieces down to Singapore every now and then to try their luck, but asking for exorbitant prices.
Subject:Re: Jade blog
Posted By: LEE Fri, Nov 16, 2012
Hi Dave, if you go to either Shanghai or Beijing make sure you go to both those antique shops they have lots of interesting things, lots of antique porcelain and furniture for sale but the antique jade pieces are only a handful. I wouldn't trust any other dealers as it is too easy to get fakes from the forgers in Hetian or any other material. You know wages are still quite low in China and carving jade to look antique is still done in large scales at factories. If you want to see how good the fakes are go to antique complex at the old bell temple in Beijing. They have 3 stories of shops full of antique looking jade. They will cost you fraction of a real piece but they are made from mainly white russian jade that looks exactly like hetian, only a very train expert can tell. As for western dealers and auctions make sure there is a good provenance otherwise treat it as new. As for jade in singapore jade was only own by the wealthy and the imperial family in China in the past. It is much more precious than ceramics. So some of the jade pieces that we see floating around in the West with old provenance are probably from the imperial collection that was dislocated by war and by the eunuch during the last 2 centuries. However there was some replicas made in the 1900s for the antique jade trade but such are not hard to tell apart y studying the cut marks. The old jade that find it's way to Singapore we brought there by rich tycoons of the 20th century that bought them from overseas or from antique dealers that bought from grave robbers before 1990s. After this period the price of antique jade has become so high that if anything was good it would be sold through auctions or to the rich in China. pics of fake 1930s and latter jade at a antique stall. Very convincing replicas.

There are many things you can do wrong with money. However, there are a few mistakes that are particularly troublesome. I have definitely made at least one of them, so hopefully I can help prevent you from harming your financial future. Here are three major financial mistakes that can really prevent you from having the financial future you desire:
1.) Getting a 30 year mortgage. What could possibly be wrong with getting a thirty year mortgage? After all, that is what everyone does, right? Although not everyone does, most people do. That does not make it right. You will end up paying tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of dollars more in interest than if you would have gotten a 15 year mortgage. Not only that, you will be in debt twice as long. By the way, if someone tells you that it is smart to keep your mortgage to get the tax deduction, that makes no sense at all. Why would you pay the mortgage company $10,000 in interest in order to save $2,500 in taxes? That is some pretty bad math if you think that will help you prosper.
2.) Trying to get rich quick. People try to do this in many different ways. Do you routinely spend money on lottery tickets? Have you gotten into day trading in the stock market expecting to hit that one big payoff? Maybe it's a "business opportunity" you had to go thousands of dollars into debt for. If you have done any of these things, you fell into the trap of trying to get rich quick. The problem is it never works. Sure, every once in awhile it works for someone. Usually, that person doesn't stay rich because they didn't go about it the right way. Slow and steady wins the race. Most millionaires spent decades (not months or years) accumulating their wealth. Consistently investing money year in and year out and avoiding debt are two keys to building wealth. Always pursuing the next "big score" is not.
3.) Not figuring out who is responsible for what. This has more to do with the quality of your marriage. Before you are married, it is vital that you discuss who is responsible for what with the finances. Who is responsible for creating the budget? Who is responsible for writing the checks to pay your bills? Who is responsible for balancing the checkbook? All these things should be discussed so there is no confusion later. There are some financial benefits to this as well. If no one ever takes the initiative to do a budget, your money will not work as hard for you. If it is up in the air who is going to pay the bills, no one will and you will get late fees. Do your marriage a favor and assign your financial chores.
Avoiding these three mistakes could pay huge dividends both financially and relationally. Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars are on the line. If you aren't yet, today is the day to start being smart with your money.
Any other financial mistakes you suggest to avoid?
