Previously it wasn't uncommon to locate meat in each and every other dish prepared. But, situations are altering now and health issues being one primary reason for such change. Creatures are chemically injected to strengthen and the like chemicals are affecting their own health and as a result ours. Also, the studies and researches showing negative health recent results for people consuming meat is definitely an eye opener. Awareness regarding cruelty in animal killing for meat production continues to be one more reason for individuals turning vegetarians.

Soaking them overnight after which consuming is simple around the digestive process and therefore preferred.

Galaxy 0 — Los Angeles quotes Posted by Joshua Mayers Bruce Arena – Galaxy Head Coach (On being disappointed with the results…) "Certainly we would to have liked to have a better result. This was a game that Seattle played a little bit harder and I think down the middle of the field they beat us in the positional match-ups. I think they deserved to win the game tonight." (On using the U.S. Open Cup to give players extra minutes…) "No, to me these games don't make sense. Essentially it was a reserve game tonight. I think the timing of this competition isn't right for MLS teams; it's a difficult time to try and play these games. I think if see both teams, obviously both want to win, the competition is water down due to the fact that each team is juggling players and see who you want to play and who you don't want to play. For us tonight there were valuable minutes for some players and others not so good." (On the upcoming match-up versus the New England Revolution…) "We could have used another day off. New England is coming off a difficult loss and definitely will be looking to make amends, we need a much improved effort on Saturday then we had tonight." Chris Klein- Midfielder (On being disappointed with the result…) "Yeah, you would like get a win, we didn't play very well and they came out with a lot of energy and got two goals. Once they got that first goal it put us on our heels and we are definitely disappointed with the result." (On trying to press too much in the match…) "Yes, I think we needed to press up a little bit more on the road, against their fans and on a surface they are used to. They kept coming at us and give them credit, they did well." (On struggling playing on a smaller field…) "Yes we struggled with it; I don't think we will use it as an excuse. We struggled with certain parts of the game and I think that was one of them." Comments

My younger brother is getting married and I'm happy for him. I recently met his fiancee she's cool. No complaints from me. She met the majority of our family and of course everyone asks me "So when are you getting married?" I say "I just want to truly love a woman." It'll make sense as I continue.
My parents have been married for 32 years. They love each other. They like each other. Enjoy each other's company. Rarely fight. With that said I DON'T want what they have. Now I could get into why I don't want what they have but I feel I'd be going too deep into their private lives so I'm a leave that alone but I do not want what they have. Their idea of marriage doesn't fit mine and that's perfectly fine because we're human and we're all unique. It's the same as saying their hobbies aren't my hobbies. People are different.
After looking at prices for tux's for my brother's wedding I asked myself "What the fuck is marriage?" I seriously pondered that shit for hours upon hours. Why is it important that I get married? Why does everyone care so much? I was really trying to break this shit down to it's core. I just want true love. I know what you're thinking. "But Benny isn't marriage true love?" Good question. Here's my answer. In my opinion. No. It's not.
Weddings, Marriages, are the Super Bowls of romanticism. It's the pinnacle of being romantic. It's not true love. True Love and Romanticism are super different. Being romantic is basically fucking, physical attraction, and the idea of love. True Love is Love in it's most perfect state. The pure form and it's pure form it still can't be defined. I could be married to a woman while truly in love with another woman on the side. We see this everyday in reality or the fiction we see in novels, movies, music, etc. Can you be married and truly in love? Yeah, just look at my parents but we're raised to believe that in order to truly be in love and love someone forever we have to get married. It's bullshit. Marriage is nothing but a business deal. It's a contract. That's all it is.
I know we all want the big ceremony. Our family and friends watching. The woman wants the beautiful dress. The man wants to look GQ fresh and see his woman in that dress. The proposals. The vows. The celebration. I get all of that but if I get married it'll be on our terms. Not on society's terms. Not because of pressure that me and her shouldn't give a fuck about in the first place. The pressure that you have to get married by a certain age or you don't want to be the only single friend out of a group of friends that are married. You're basing your love life on fear and that's dangerous. My godfather found his soulmate in his 50's. He's the happiest I've ever seen him in my life. She took her time. He finally took his time and that's why it's working. He went through 2 marriages before her. He married for the wrong reasons. He married because society has raised us to believe we have to do it to truly be in love and that's so false. They make us believe that love isn't real if you don't sign those documents. Didn't know we can't share a life together without marriage (Hi sarcasm).
Majority of people get married based on time or history. What I mean by that is let's say I've been with someone for 5 years exclusively. I start thinking "Well I've been with her 5 years I might as well get married to her." Basically pressuring myself and then I go and propose. What woman is going to say no to a marriage proposal especially if it's done in a public setting? She'll be embarrassed if she says no. She sees a ring she not saying no. The percentage of a woman saying no to a proposal is so small. Since playing with dolls and dollhouses they've dreamed of that moment. It doesn't matter if the guy is an asshole or the relationship is terrible and unhealthy, the moment of a proposal will out weigh all of that.
We all become prisoners of the moment. Unhappiness can take a backseat to a proposal and the thought of marriage. It's the romanticism of the moment that does that.
Being in love is way more than the time we've been together. Our history wont make me love you or keep me loving you. Good memories are great but what about now? It's how we make each other feel day to day that counts. Only a fool would stick around to be unhappy, marry that person, and miss out happiness because they have invested so much time in that person. We call that settling and I have one fucking life to live so I'm not settling for shit. I don't give a fuck how old I am. Time can't be deceived. No one on this planet can manipulate time. I rather have 2 years of a happy relationship than 40 years of a marriage where I'm just content, wasting time, and not happy in.
We see these huge milestone marriages like 10 year anniversaries but do you ever notice that no one ever asks "Are they happy?" We're just so impressed with the number and the time passed that we don't think about the most important factor. Just makes sense for me to do me and wait it out. I don't like to force anything and I damn sure not forcing marriage or even a relationship.
If I'm happy I'm staying. If I'm unhappy I'm leaving. I'm going to whoever makes me the happiest. Simple as that. Nothing complex about it. I don't care what anybody outside of my situation thinks. One of my goals with my future love is when we're asked how our relationship is going I want us both to say "We're happy" and it be the truth instead of saying it's going good. One thing I promised myself after my last relationship is that I will NEVER compromise my happiness ever again. Look around the world. It's hard as fuck to be happy mainly because of fear. Why are we so fucking afraid to be happy? We're so afraid of happiness that we'll make ourselves comfortable in bullshit and things we dislike. It's easier to settle and try to make the best of situation we don't desire. It takes work and sacrifice to be happy. People fear work, sacrifice, and change.
You also have the "I got caught cheating" proposals too. A lot of dudes guilty of this shit. They get caught fucking around she threatens to leave or the relationship is severely damaged because the trust is fucked up so the guy says fuck it and go buys a ring to propose and think that's going to fix everything. No. It won't. Once that ceremony is over. After the honeymoon phase done. All the problems you had when you weren't married will be amplified and they will come back with a fucking vengeance. I see this way too often.
Not trying to get all spiritual and shit but it's easy to break a marriage. It's hard to break two people who are truly in love. As you can see in the video above. Dwayne made a choice to get his soulmate no matter what. Fuck the marriage part but people who are truly in love will always find each other and connect whether it's by fate or by choice. You can't force true love. You can try and fake it but 1 of 3 things will happen. You'll stay and be miserable, cheat, or you'll be exposed. Possibly all 3 at once. No matter how many women I'm intimate with if I'm truly in love with one of them then that woman will be who I think of the most. No matter who I'm laying with. All Whitley kept seeing at her wedding with Byron was Dwayne. Love is real like that.
I can post the same woman for 6 years straight as my W.C.W on every social network and that won't mean shit. I could be cheating on her. I could be resenting her. Captions don't captivate anything in my world. That's not true love. We live in a time where relationships/marriages have to be flaunted on the internet to be considered real. News flash ladies and gentlemen. The ones who flaunt it the most are truly the unhappiest. Their relationships are bullshit. It's all a front.
People are more addicted to how their relationship/marriage is perceived than the actual relationship/marriage itself and that's why they stay stagnant and never grow mentally, spiritually, or emotionally. The relationship/marriage just "exists" and that's it. There's no depth just width.
A recently divorced Wiz Khalifa was on The Breakfast Club and he talks about his love for Amber Rose, their bond being better after ending the marriage, and why he doesn't care about marriage. The quote I took away from this interview and stuck with me is "Marriage makes something that was official, unofficial." Wiz hit the nail on the head with that. Marriage is just business. You're paying so much money for it. More taxes. The shit is a headache. Especially if you divorce. More time to waste. More money to spend. If you're not married you can just get up and leave. Simple. I see married couples who are miserable but stay married because of how much a hassle divorce is. The couple becomes detached and live under one roof but separate lives. A sad sight.
This is what I want to do. If my woman wants to get married. We can, but we doing it differently. No paperwork. We can get each other rings. She can wear that beautiful wedding dress. I'll grab a tux. No preacher. We create our own vows to exchange and we'll have a "Celebration Of Us." Y'all can call it a wedding I don't care but we not having no normal, boring ass, american wedding. I want some Imos, fish, and BBQ for our guests. Not that expensive bland ass catered food. Some real liquor and wine. Henny. Remy. All types of music not just wedding music. Add the slide songs in there for my momma. She love them. I want some Vess there. This a party. After the party we go on a vacation. I'm tired of following these unwritten bullshit rules that some boring assholes made up for society. We're doing it OUR way. Can't no documents on earth tell me who not my wife or how much I love her. It's deeper than that. We conditioned to do so much bullshit and I'm tired of it. I'm ending that cycle.
My woman will be my best friend before marriage. We'll grow together regardless of marriage. Our love won't be defined by marriage. We'll share things together regardless of marriage. I'll accept my woman as she is regardless of marriage. She will never lose her identity with me and I won't lose mine with her. I'd be interested in my woman without marriage. I won't emotionally shut down on my woman and she won't on me.
I'm not knocking anyone who happily married and truly in love. I have friends who truly are. My parents are. My brother is about to be but like I said in the beginning, we're all different. So I'm going to ask myself this question one more time.
"What the fuck is marriage?" ........ Whatever the fuck I want it to be.

First things first....
apologies for the prolonged absence, and thanks to those of you who
have been worried and contacted me to check that I was OK.
Sometimes, life gets in the way of blogging, and I was quite busy
making my Christmas cards and getting ready for the big event,
I just didn't have the time to blog.
(I have to confess to forgetting to photograph most of the cards I sent!)
Here's one that I did remember to photograph-
it was for my sister-in-law Janice (Barry and Chris's sister).
Janice lives in a Residential Care Home, and as Chris was away
visiting her son Richard in Australia, Janice came to stay with Barry and me
from the 24th December and went home on the 28th.
She didn't want to go home when the time came, she had really enjoyed
her break with us and the family!!
Here's the card I made for Janice and a little bit of info behind the design.
Janice has a cuddly Panda called Ying who normally goes everywhere
with her. We managed to persuade her to leave Ying behind so that the
staff at Bethany House could give him a good deep clean in the washing machine
whilst Janice stayed with us. She has another toy panda called Katy,
and we persuaded her to bring Katy along instead.
I had made this card for Janice earlier, because of her love of Pandas,
and she put it on the dressing table in the bedroom at ours,
so that she didn't forget Ying whilst she was staying with us!!
That said - here's the card -and it didn't cost a penny for the stampset,
as it is one of the free Sale-a-bration stamp sets that can be earned
for every £45 spent between 3rd January and 31st March.
I am really pleased with how the card turned out and Janice was thrilled to receive this!
Hope that you have all enjoyed a beautiful Christmas and
here's wishing you a Happy New Year.
I will post my New Year card tomorrow!!

Variety reports that 20th Century Fox is developing a new movie about Moses. While there have been numerous cartoons and TV movies about Moses over the last few decades, this will presumably be the first major live-action version of the story produced for the big screen since Cecil B. DeMille's second version of The Ten Commandments (1956).
Like every other ancient epic being made these days, the studio plans to pattern this film after Braveheart (1995) and 300 (2006), and that could pose a challenge to the filmmakers, given that most versions of this story have focused on the divinely ordained miracles — the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Law — and have never really had any hand-to-hand combat.
However, the studio plans to incorporate non-biblical traditions about Moses into the storyline — such as his conquest of Ethiopia, as reported by Josephus, perhaps? — and the Bible does depict Moses and the Israelites getting into skirmishes with the Amalekites and with Og the gigantic king of Bashan, etc., so there is certainly material to work with, there.
The script for the new film will be written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, who recently wrote a new version of Moby Dick for Timur Bekmambetov, the director of Wanted (2008) and Night Watch (2004); they also wrote the college comedy Accepted (2006).
Hmmm… the story of Moses and teen comedy… now where have I seen these two things juxtaposed before?

Doctor Filip Degroote graduated as Doctor in Medicine in 1978. He has a full-time classical homeopathic practice since 1980. He developed under impulse of doctor A. Pladys a first pioneer work concerning clinical and energetic examination in homeopathy, of which the findings were put in the book 'Physical Examination and Observations in the Homoeopathy' (1992). This book edition is now quasi exhausted and is only available in its electronic form via Archibel/RADAR. An enlarged revised edition will be soon available.
Through application of this method, which is partly based on 'applied and clinical kinesiology', the simillimum in every patient can be identified.
In a second book 'Notes on miasms, heredity and remedy-interactions' (1994) he made a difference between individual and hereditary energy in every human being. He concluded that the hereditary energy of a person shows itself in the symptom rubrics of the patient which contain Carc., Med., Syph. and Tub. Consequently those nosodal symptoms must be avoided to be taken into consideration when making a repertorisation to find the 'individual' homeopathic remedy of the patient.
The first part, which consists of 60 pages, has been remade totally and re-edited in 2010 under the title 'Notes on miasms and heredity' (B. Jain Archibel s.p.r.l.) and consists now of about 260 pages.
The crowning glory of his many years of practice is the set up of a data-base of dreams coming especially from his own practice.
Doctor Degroote has gathered in the last 20 years about 150.000 additions, which are available at RADAR. Those are forming the base to make a better analysis of the homeopathic patients, together with the data we have from especially Hahnemann, Kent, Vithoulkas, Scholten en Sankaran.
In order to use those data in the best way the author has written a guideline book to make it the practitioner more easy to find his way in the dreamland of our patients 'Dromen vanuit homeopathisch perspectief' (2004) of which now an English edition is ready (edition expected in 2014).

Interest rates an important factor that affects the foreign exchange market. While the currencies are traded in this trade market, interest rates leave a straight affect on the currency prices. So, to comprehend properly about the existing foreign exchange market, a trader must value the recent conditions of each and single interest rate. The economical and political scenarios are also factors that hugely affect the forex but there is nothing that influences it more than the interest rates.
When rates of the interest rise up at that time investors want to be benefited from the high returns. A country's interest rates when rise upwards, their currency is taken as being sturdier than the other currencies of the global market. This actually happens as investors also seek extra currency to gain more profit. If not, it is regarded as a good thing when the rates of interest rise up and an awful thing when they fall down.
The interest rates though can affect the market for sometime; but the nature of the forex market is such that it is hard to affect it for an extended period of time. The design of the forex market, being huge in volume as well as size, checks the interest rates from controlling whole over the trade system. Many a times yet, specialists seek to make out when the interest rates will up and down. The most general thing they do so as to maintain with rates is to give attention to the indicators of economic inflation. Except these, experts and investors also pay attention to verbal communication from influential people and other politicians.
So, if you are a novice who wants to do trade with forex you must learn about the foreign exchange market and at the same time never forget to give attention to the increase and fall of the interest rates around your country so as to make the most excellent investment decisions possible. So considering the rise and fall of the interest rates, a trade must keep in mind that when interest rates drop, it is in general a good sign for the investors as well as for the domestic currency.

A financial tune-up for fall
As we get ready to close up the cottage, clean off the barbeque and say farewell to summer for another year, now is also a good time to start thinking about personal finances. Many people let their finances coast during the summer months. There's even that famous saying in investing: "Sell in May and go away". So it's good to get into the habit of using the fall as a reminder to revisit your financial situation, and to do a personal tune-up. Here are a few things to consider as we move into the home stretch of 2018:
Prepare for higher borrowing costs
Interest rates have started inching up after an unprecedented period of historic lows, and they look poised to continue climbing. You'll see the effect of any increase immediately if you have a variable-rate mortgage or a personal line of credit, but even fixed-rate borrowers will ultimately feel the pinch when renewal time comes up. Keep an eye on your debt levels, and now more than ever, consolidate high-cost loans into a single low-interest payment.
Savings rates take time to rise
The good news about the increase in interest rates is that it usually signals better returns on deposits like GICs and high interest savings accounts. The bad news is that it can take some time for those returns to show up. Financial institutions don't automatically raise savings rates just because the Bank of Canada rate has risen. They will also make their decisions based on competitive market pressures and their own financial needs.
Don't believe the hype
This year has already seen major hype in two areas of investment: cryptocurrencies and marijuana stocks. And if you've been following the financial news, you'll also know that a lot of investors in bitcoin have gotten badly burned in 2018. We don't offer investment advice, but we can offer a little common-sense advice: be careful about chasing investment fads. It's very easy to get caught up in short-term hype, especially in our ultra-fast media cycle. For most people, investing is for the long term.
Bonds and GICs provide stability
If you're worried about volatility in the stock market, your best form of insurance is bonds and GICs. The returns on these investments may not be especially exciting, but fixed-income instruments deliver real peace of mind. This can be worth an awful lot when you're depending on your investment portfolio for your income, especially with equity valuations having reached very high levels over the past year.
Take another look at your fees
The amount you pay for investment advice, portfolio management, trading, and commissions on mutual funds can add up over the years. Now might be a good time to look carefully at how much you're paying in fees and investigate alternatives that might be cheaper.
Time to give your garden a tune-up, too
We're sorry to be the ones who break the bad news, but…this sunshine and warm weather isn't going to last forever. As we've already noted, fall is around the corner. And while we're blessed with beautiful falls in Canada, the temperature is going to start dropping, and the daylight hours are going to get shorter. That means a lot of things, like sweaters, fall colours and pumpkin-spice everything.
It also means it's time to get your garden ready for 2019—now. Essentially, what you do in your garden at this time of year will set you up for what lies ahead. That's because failing to take care of some basic tasks in the fall will mean you'll be paying dearly in the following spring. Here are the top five things to get cracking on now, so that next April is just a breeze:
1. Weed!
Weeding isn't just a summer task. Even though weeds grow fastest during the summer, many of them lay their seeds down in the fall months. Keep at them into October and you'll have a lot less weeding to do in 2019.
2. Don't prune
When you prune, you're priming a plant or bush for more growth. But that's not the right thing for a plant to do during the winter, when it needs to conserve energy. In fact, it could be enough kill it. So let your plants sleep and then prune them in the spring, just when they're ready to wake up.
3. Clean up the leftovers
Fruits and veggies should be eaten, but if they're starting to rot in place, don't leave them alone. Remove them, and don't return them to the soil if they might already be infected. If you do leave them where they are, they'll be feeding pests and diseases during the off-season, which will create big problems next year.
4. Plant your spring bulbs
Now's the time to get those daffodils and tulips going! Plant your bulbs before the first hard frost, because they need a long period of cold to start the chemistry that lays down deep roots and causes them to bloom.
5. Plant a cover crop
It's not just professional farms that need to plant cover crops like buckwheat and clover. Your home garden can benefit from them too, and for the same reason, as they are excellent for restoring nutrients to the soil and suppressing weeds. You should plant these about a month before your first frost hits.
More apps, this time for the foodies
As part of our desire to let you know you some of the best digital apps around, we've scoured the web for a few based on a topic we can all relate to—food! Yes, like everything else, food has gone high tech. There are countless wonderful culinary apps available, but we think these four really take the cake (so to speak):
1. TastePlease is like a food version of Airbnb meets Facebook. Designed for both locals and travellers, it allows you to host a private dinner with strangers from around the corner or around the world. And if you don't feel like being the chef, you can be a guest instead! It's a great way to showcase your hospitality, or experience authentic food cooked by locals when you're abroad. A must-have for the world traveller.
2. Calorie Mama is an amazing app that draws on Artificial Intelligence to help you understand what you're eating, instantly. Simply snap a photo of what you're about to eat (we all know about that on Instagram) and the app will provide you with the relevant nutritional information. It uses the growing number of uploaded photos in its database to identify food more and more accurately every day. Plus it includes recipes, meal plans and exercise routines to help burn those calories.
3. OLIO is an environmentalist's dream. It connects people and businesses with one goal in mind: to share food instead of throwing it away. We're not talking about wilted lettuce and mouldy carrots here. Think instead of spare home-grown vegetables, day-old bread, or groceries in your fridge when you're about to leave on a trip. Take a photo, tap the app, and someone will show up at your door to take the food off your hands (and free your conscience).
4. Mixology is very much like one of those recipe websites that let you enter the ingredients you have on hand to find recipes that get you cooking right away, except it's for drinks. Just enter the spirits you have at home, tap on the Mixers tab, and then tap Search. Voilà, a list of recipes that don't require a trip to the liquor store. There's information about the ingredients you're using, descriptions of different glassware, and lists of things like bartending terminology. A great way to up your entertaining credentials.
The costs of closing a mortgage
The housing market in Canada has undergone significant change in the past few years. This is largely due to foreign-buyer taxes, new rules on mortgage affordability, and a small uptick in interest rates. These all affect prices, which are the real driver of any market. And it's important to remember in this context that if you're a buyer, price doesn't consist entirely of what a seller is asking for their home, It also includes closing costs.
Mortgage lenders require buyers to show that they can manage all the costs associated with a home purchase, and not just the mortgage itself. Typically they require borrowers to set aside between two and four percent of the purchase price as a buffer. This amount includes costs incurred when making an offer, those that arise before the transaction is completed, and those that are due on closing.

The polished titanium Pingo apparently came about due to forum feedback for a more high-end version of the regular production version. The titanium makes the Pingo significantly heavier, by comparison. But is sure is a nicely finished piece. The edges of the handle are all chamfered to an almost mirror finish. The little plastic piece you see under the clip is used to prevent scratches on the titanium, for those of us who'd like to switch the clip for left-handed carry. The graphic is a nice touch, and I'm curious how durable it is during EDC. And by the way, this Pingo comes with an Elmax blade!

If you're like most people who create goals, plans, or resolutions that end up not going very far during the course of a year (only 8% of New Year's resolutions are actually achieved), you've probably experienced feeling like a hamster on a wheel as you've tried to manage your life and business. In the Soulful Strategic Planning workshop series, I turn everything you've been told about goal setting on it's head.
Let's Get Serious About 2016
While the party invitations and family gatherings are filling up our calendars, many of us entrepreneurs are working nonstop to get those last things crossed off our task lists before the year winds down. It's the time of year that always seems to sneak up on us, and no matter how much we've actually accomplished--believe me, you've done a lot of awesome things this year, I promise—we never quite feel like we've gotten it all done.
Did you write the book? Did you solidify that strategic partnership? Did you finally get speaking gigs? Did you lose those 15 pounds? Did you finish the website? Did you take down your online dating profile? Did you spend more time with friends/family? Did you have more date nights? Did you pay down your debt? DID YOU REACH THE SIX FIGURE MARK?

Inaugural Address
"Celebrating Heritage, Creating Opportunities"
Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, President
Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY
October 17, 2008
Thank you, Chairman, John Donoghue, for conferring upon me the Presidential medallion of Mount Saint Mary College. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly accept the charge.
Distinguished guests, trustees, faculty, students, staff, and friends: welcome to this community celebration. I'm delighted to be at Mount Saint Mary College, overlooking the splendid Hudson River Valley in the great State of New York.
I'm thankful today/ for the supportive presence of past presidents William O'Hara and Sr. Ann Sakac, as well as members of the Board of Trustees, including past chairs Carl Meyer and John Mack. I invite all of them to stand for your applause.
I wish to acknowledge the presence of Senator William Larkin, City Manager Jean-Ann McGrane, and the various representatives of Colleges and Universities, in particular, the following presidents: David Conklin of Dutchess County Community College, Margaret Fitzpatrick of St. Thomas Aquinas College, Abraham Lackman of the Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities, Joseph Levesque of Niagara University, James Liguori of Iona College, Kevin Mullen of Siena College, my alma mater, Ann Marie Murray of Herkimer County Community College, Mary Eileen O'Brien of Dominican College, William Richards of Orange County Community College, Thomas Scanlan of Manhattan College, and Patrice Werner of Caldwell College. I invite all of these Presidents to stand for your applause.
I am also grateful to welcome Bishop Lagonegro, of the Archdiocese of New York, Bishop Hubbard, of the Diocese of Albany and an affiliate of the Franciscans, and Very Rev. John O'Connor, Provincial Minister of the Franciscan friars, Holy Name Province.
Thank you, all, for your presence at this college celebration.
Francis of Assisi and Dominic de Guzman/ were passionate about witnessing to Gospel values in the 13th century. In societies plagued by greed, poverty, war, ignorance and disease, the early Franciscans and Dominicans committed themselves to a joyful, simple, prayerful, evangelical life.
Today's turbulent times call us to carefully revisit our mission and strategic goals so that we can put forth, with renewed vigor, our best abilities in service to students.
And so, I would like to speak briefly about our heritage and our opportunities.
But first, a few words about my own heritage: I was born in Brooklyn, one of four children. Our parents were a warmhearted couple, blessed with good Irish humor, a deep sense of God and each other, and a down to earth love for the people who always seemed to be filling our home.
My early education was at the hands of the Amityville Dominican Sisters at Good Shepherd parish. They were dedicated to Dominic's tradition, and provided a thorough education in reading, writing, arithmetic and religion. Their whole lives revolved around teaching and nurturing in us/ virtues that are the foundation of a good life and a good society.
Then, providentially, I confided to a neighbor my desire to do something meaningful with my life, and this neighbor told me: "go to the Franciscans."
Those were defining moments. I wound up joining the Franciscan friars. Our leaders then sent me into education, which has been a mainstay in my work and my life.
Catholic education opens up habits of heart and skills of mind. It promotes a careful nature that leads to solid scholarship, pursuit of a profession, and a well-rounded life , guided by good ethics while engaging in the challenges of the day.
That tradition, notes the late Monika Hellwig of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, is alive and well in colleges where there are good values and enduring principles that are "characteristically Catholic"while at the same time shared by many other religious traditions.
The appeal of Francis and Dominic reaches beyond Catholics to men and women of good will everywhere. This is not just because of the animals associated with Francis, or the cuddly dog at Dominic's feet in statues. The 3rd century Greek philosopher Plotinus tells us that the "spiritual" belongs to that highest level of Mind where thinking coincides with being. It enables the soul to surpass discursive reasoning. Francis and Dominic beckon mind and soul to aim upward.
Research indicates that the current generation places high value on integrating spirituality into their lives, but that nearly half of them are disappointed with the opportunities for religious and spiritual reflection during their college years (Astin et al, 2004).
The Four Pillars of Dominican life -- Study, Prayer, Community and Service -- can be a powerhouse in this community at Mount Saint Mary College, where we encourage students to strengthen their character with moral and spiritual values which enable them to make good choices in personal and professional life.
"Character" does not mean personality, but something deeper, more inward.
Your personality expresses your spontaneous reaction to your environment and is something that puts you in a class or category shared by many others -- you are cheerful, or moody, or a Type A or a Type B personality. Your character, by contrast, is singular and defines who you are, not superficially, but at the core of your inmost self.Personality is an emotional reality rooted in the body. Character is an ethical reality rooted in the soul, in the good habits of mind and will.
This year, we welcomed the largest freshman class in the College's history. Our hope is that their experience here will help form in them a good character, point them clearly in the direction of good values, provide a rich reservoir from which they can continue to draw as they struggle to make choices that define a worthy life.
In the decisions, small and great, that affect their work, career, family, even their leisure time, we hope that our students will have the courage to stand for what is true and good.
We hope that the professors and mentors of our students will be known for having helped shape the habits of mind and heart that lead to a quality life.
Dominican values and principles have shaped Mount Saint Mary College's character and history.
But what does it mean to be a Catholic college in the United States in the 21st century?
The late Louis Dupre of Yale University wrote that the Catholic university, and for that matter, a university which grants theology a place of honor, represents most fully the ancient ideal of learning. The challenge with this ideal in a modern setting is /how to enable the principles of theology and philosophy to penetrate the entire curriculum and to subordinate all its parts to a moral and religious ideal.
I believe the great intellectual tradition in our international Catholic community offers a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the legacy handed down to us. Our learning community can encourage students to make their lives a service whatever the profession: health, education, business, and more. Here are but a few examples of Dominican scholars: St. Albert the Great was a student of natural sciences. "The whole world is theology for us," discerned Albert, "because the heavens proclaim the glory of God."
Thomas Aquinas made a case for the "reasonableness of faith." Pope Benedict XVI cites Aquinas' studies to indicate that faith and reason are not exclusionary principles. "When human beings limit their thoughts to only material objects . . . they close themselves to the great questions about life, themselves and God," Pope Benedict said.
Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church, wrote a profound book on "The Dialogue of Divine Providence." She was a prolific reformer and politician, who studied religious texts and helped the ill and the poor.
Cardinal Yves Congar, one of the most influential Dominican theologians of the 20th century, was active in reaching out to other traditions in the ecumenical movement and published on wide ranging historical topics, including his experiences during the Second Vatican Council.
We are also heir to Franciscan scholarship: Bonaventure of Bagnoreggio and John Duns Scotus in the arts, Roger Bacon in sciences, Luca Pacioli in business, and so forth.
A study of such vibrant scholars articulates well the ideal of education at Mount Saint Mary College: an education for life. St. Thomas More, an English lawyer, author and scholar, tells us: "Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed." To paraphrase Scripture: it is not always granted for the sower to see the harvest of those seeds.And that points to the value of our dynamic community at Mount Saint Mary College: where we learn to link mind and heart, body and spirit.
Our primary goal is to educate persons, not simply issue degrees.
The goal of a liberal arts education is to form and develop "a whole person" ready to take his or her place articulately and responsibly in the larger world. The aim, then, is strengthening those abilities apart from which knowledge, no matter how technically advanced, becomes self-absorbed.
A rigorous liberal arts education includes, by definition, a commitment to moral education, where people are educated not only for careers, but for leadership and service.
A thorough education encourages virtues that make one a good and not merely an accomplished person: virtues such as, self discipline, compassion, responsibility, friendship, hard work, courage, perseverance, honesty, loyalty, civility, respect, and faith in God.Our Catholic intellectual life is a living tradition that further advances knowledge. We pull from the diverse elements of that tradition to find the best way to respond to the situation in which we live, work, teach and learn.
It is particularly vital that a Catholic college be a place where, whatever our religious background, faith in a personal and provident God is not set aside as peripheral to the educational quest, but is taken seriously as an intelligent, morally responsible value for contemporary people.
As a community engaged in a vigorous search for the truth, we need to remind ourselves that morality is essentially defined by the attainment of goodness--a community marked by excellence and reverence and joy.The Dominicans have had an educational presence at this site since 1883. Here at Mount Saint Mary College, education is not just an intellectual exercise. It is a window to God's work in the world, and we are students, professors, and collaborators in that work.
We celebrate that tradition, and we also now stretch our vision to see how we may create new opportunities for students, as we approach the beginning of the college's second half century.
Job one must be to continually improve the quality of our undergraduate courses in the arts, sciences and business. Our general curriculum should give students an in-depth immersion in intellectual, cultural and religious roots.
Our new Mathematics Science and Technology Center, a state of the art facility supported by the Answering the Call capital campaign, is an important asset in this endeavor.
As an educational community, we want to use a strategic planning process to address needs such as faculty development and undergraduate research, facilities, enrollment, and resources including scholarships and grants.
Excellent education, in concert with families and businesses and civic representatives, is a key to improving communities and our country.
It will be our critical task to help provide access to quality education: to continue to contribute to our nation's need for excellent teachers, dedicated health care professionals to stem the nursing shortage, business students who will bring their honesty and integrity into those careers.
Let me conclude by offering you this insight from John Henry Newman, whose collected works call the university to higher purpose. Newman said:
"A cultivated intellect, because it is a good in itself, brings with it a power and a grace to every work and occupation which it undertakes, and enables us to be more useful to a greater number of people. The cultivation of the intellect is a duty we owe to human society as such, to the state to which we belong, to the sphere in which we move, to the individuals towards whom we are variously related, and whom we successively encounter in life…."
Again, it is my privilege to serve with you. I offer you my best efforts, and I trust each of you will contribute, as best you can, your talents, ideas, and energies.
I look forward to being an integral part, with all of you, of this great teaching vocation of "Educating for Life" young men and women at Mount Saint Mary College as it begins its second half century.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless this College.

It's not often you see the word 'free' in a corporate chain of supermarkets, but your eyes aren't deceiving you…Asda were giving away free vegetables yesterday.
The Asda store in Barry, Wales, lined up seven trollies brimming with vegetables for people to take for free to save them from going to waste.
The inspired initiative has received a lot of online attention, commending the supermarket for taking action against food wastage.
Da iawn to @asda Barry for giving away free vegetables rather than throwing them away. Hope local horse / livestock owners get down to the store & help themselves. @AmeliaTrustFarm @PrideInBarry @Barrybados @VOGCouncil @AsdaServiceTeam @AsdaSustainable @TooGoodToGo_UK pic.twitter.com/3oh9G4kT3f
— Aled Williams ??????? (@Aledrhys1) December 29, 2017
Aled Williams, a regular at ASDA Barry and father to a carrot-enthusiast, told UNILAD:
I saw the food yesterday evening and was pleased to see ASDA being proactive in offering free veg rather than just throwing it away.
It's too easy for large companies just to throw this food away and not think of the wider consequences, especially with so many people visiting food banks.
It obviously resonated with me more at this time as so many of us over indulge at this time of year. I would like this food to be offered to homeless people, charities, care homes, owners of livestock or soup kitchens that could use the veg to cook with & help others.
I did smile as people were doing the 'Scooby-do' second look when they saw the veg and then another look when they realised it was free. People were taking the odd bag and I just wanted to share it to try and get more people to take some much needed food.
Check out the video below about food waste:
[ooyala player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1920″ height="1080″ autoplay="true" pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l" code="J2Zzl0ZDE6lMqrVXCSrBu9wbXqFbuKf3″]
Aled continued:
I live in Barry and shop regularly at Asda. My boy loves his carrots and couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the trolleys full of them.
I certainly think this should be a regular occurrence possibly linked with charities each month.
I would love to see all supermarkets involved in this initiative and also have them working together to help support food banks, homeless etc.
It's time to stop this waste especially when so many need so much help.

Sampson defeats Smitherman in Brooklyn Senate primary
Embattled incumbent John Sampson has defeated Dell Smitherman in the Democratic primary for the State Senate's 19th district in Brooklyn.
Sampson was leading Smitherman by 25 percentage points when the race was called at about 11:15 p.m.
Story Continued Below
Sampson is facing federal charges on multiple counts of embezzlement and witness tampering, along with accusations he hid his ownership of a liquor store on disclosure filings.
The embezzlement charges were filed last year, when Sampson was accused of stealing $400,000 from escrow accounts of home foreclosures he was legally involved with.
Sampson's only major support in the campaign came from the Brooklyn Democratic Committee, which, while denying it took any official position in the race, tried to knock Smitherman off the ballot.
Smitherman, a 20-year labor union veteran and longtime operative for health care union 1199 SEIU, received a number of high-profile endorsements, including nods from Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio. He also landed endorsements from the Working Families Party and the Empire State Pride Agenda, Citizens Union, among others.
Smitherman also had more than six times the campaign funds as Sampson, according to the candidates' 11-day pre-primary filings on August 30.

CD Review: The Princess and The Frog – Original Soundtrack
Composer: Randy Newman
Label: Walt Disney
Suggested Retail Price: $13.99
Grade: B+
If your toon's traveling down to New Orleans, there's no composer you'd want more as your Dixie-playing wingman than Randy Newman. As the elder scion of film scoring's first family, Newman's birthplace in The Big Easy has given a subtle, and sometimes wonderfully blaring bayou swing to such soundtracks as THE PAPER and LEATHERHEADS, let alone songs like "Louisiana 1927" and "You Can Leave Your Hat On."
It's a brassy, down-home feel that gives vibrant life to Disney's thankful return to traditional animation with THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, which marks Newman's fifth teaming with the studio after Pixar's two TOY STORY's, A BUG'S LIFE, MONSTERS, INC. and CARS. And while this new lollapalooza might not exactly hit the classic high notes of such Newman tunes as "You've Got A Friend in Me" and "When She Loved Me," probably none of Randy's Walt efforts have the kind of free-wheeling, just-for-fun exuberance of THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, a soundtrack filled with the feeling of a jolly guy who's cinematically back where it all started, let alone for a feature art form that Pixar unintentionally drove into the 2-D seas.
From his songs to his scoring, Newman has definitely inherited the gene for feel-good symphonic sweetness that his nephews Alfred and Lionel excelled in during the golden Hollywood days. It's a vibrancy for lush strings and thematic lyricism that makes you feel like a little kid living in a bygone jazz-age era- a sound heard most beautifully in Newman's work for RAGTIME, THE NATURAL, AVALON and PLEASANTVILLE. This melodic innocence is in high, enjoyable gear for PRINCESS, its song path following the Disney playbook of a heroine who's just gotta make her dreams happen- a road that ultimately leads to a transformative finish. Thankfully, Tiana is far happier than Belle in her hometown, a 1920's era New Orleans where "dreams do come true" according to the wonderful southern-fried voice of Dr. John, who's backed by Newman's Dixieland orchestrations. Then it's time for voice actress (and equally impressive singer) Anika Noni Rose to step up to the plate with "Almost There." This number could be PRINCESS' Oscar-garnering highlight, as the animation switches to art deco style, with Newman's jazz-age swing nailing the character's virtues of hard work, yet with a bittersweet edge that's typical for the composer.
It doesn't take long before a soon-amphibian'd Tiana is singing down the bayou with her frog prince, who's joined by a cavalcade of jazz loving alligators and fireflies. It's these seemingly near-constant animal/insect numbers that make PRINCESS particularly recall that other swinging Disney fable THE JUNGLE BOOK, no more so than in the Louis Armstong loving gator Louis, who blows his horn for "When We're Human" in the baritone voice of Michael Leon-Wooley. Jim Cummings adds Zydeco charm to "Gonna Take You There," a neat combo of Americana orchestration, swamp fiddle and Terrance Simien's accordion playing. The mood's are a bit more reflective in "Ma Belle Evangeline" as Cummings' firefly Ray sings of his impossible love for a wishing star, its nicely wistful ode, backed by Terence Blanchard's trumpet. With songs that continue to hit every New Orleans style, Newman goes to inspirational gospel with Jenifer Lewis and choir belting out "Dig A Little Deeper" before finally making it back with a reprise of "Down Home In New Orleans." Except this time it's Tiana who's the joyful extoller of the town's virtues, a nice bit of full-circle tune storytelling if there was one.
But if there's a devilish pleasure to THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG's songs, it's the Keith David-topped "Friends on the Other Side." Besides being the formidable bruiser of THEY LIVE, David's likely to go down to voice acclaim this year for his non-singing role as the potentially sinister cat in CORALINE, and now FROG's full-evil Dr. Facilier. This show-stealing, slick voodoo man ascends to classic Disney villainhood with "Friends on the Other Side," his soul-stealing enticement backed by a playfully sinister chorus, funeral brass and stop-and-start melodies that play the character like some twisted version of Sportin' Life in PORGY AND BESS. It's a tune that's a devilishly fun match for Danny Elfman's "Oogie Boogie's Song" in A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, let alone when Alan Menken had Ursula belt out "Poor Unfortunate Souls" for THE LITTLE MERMAID.
With all of its finger-snapping numbers (including Ne-Yo's Disney pop number Never Knew I Needed"), Randy Newman's score fans will be happy to hear that PRINCESS' album offers a generous 30 + minutes of instrumental cues. They're very much of a pleasant piece with his other Walt work, nicely incorporating PRINCESS' song melodies throughout. And a Cajun juke-hall's worth of instruments and styles pour on the atmospheric gumbo (with even a tango thrown in), giving PRINCESS a beautifully nostalgic sense of time and place for New Orleans- one unintentionally even more poignant given that the film's beautiful animation is dealing with a dreamland that the elements largely wiped away). But make no mistake that this is definitely a kid-friendly picture, and Newman's more antic hoedown music revels in its ability to make the little ones laugh by sometimes hitting ten jokes for every fifteen seconds (a talent shared by Randy's cousin David), an approach that's of the classic Carl Stalling toon variety. Yet there's real majesty to Newman's score as well, with the composer doing the classic Disney final transform with the best of them.
As a fun coast down the composer's favorite Bayou with all the Disney road stops to hit, Randy Newman's THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG is one hoppingly tuneful fairy tale from start to finish. It's all about the warmth of returning to one's roots, with the added passion of creating music that will help sock old-school animation back into popularity. But as so many of the studio's films he's scored have shown, dreams do come true, no more so than in their scores.

When you visualize your data (in a bar chart or line graph, for example), your eyes tend to focus on clumps of data. That makes sense. The clumps are where the action is. Groups of data — which appear as the longest bars or data that forms an approximate line on a graph — show us general patterns in the data. For example, they tell us that as one thing increases (like age), another thing also increases (like risk of disease). Or they might tell us that use of counseling services peaks in the months of January, February, and March. These are important stories, so certainly keep your eyes on the action. But also do not ignore small bars or the isolated points or smaller clumps of data points, aka "outliers". They have important stories to tell too. First, their message might be: "Warning! Human error! The data is wrong and needs to be corrected." Second, if you have confirmed that the data is correct, then these outliers might alert you to distinct subpopulations that, for example, do particularly well or notably poorly in a program. This is an interesting finding, one not to be discounted. They should prompt you to ask: Who are these individuals? What about them sets them apart from the others? Did they have different program instructors? Did they have certain characteristics which would (dis)advantage them in the program? The answers to such questions often prove to be insights that help you to adjust your course and improve curriculum, your recruitment strategy, or other ways in which you do your work.

The Mayan culture was said to know the key to the world and Copan is where you'll find the ancient stone temples and altars of this magnificent race. Don't forget to pay a visit to the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica too, this baby hasn't spewed any significant lava since 2010, but it can put on quite the show for locals and visitors alike with small eruptions that you might just witness during your travels. Universal Traveller can help you find your key to the universe in Central America with our cheap flights.

If you grew up in one place and then moved away as an adult, you might understand what it means to miss certain foods and restaurants only found in the place where you grew up. When I was little and living at my grandparents' house with my dad, he and his girlfriend would bring home pizza from Imo's every Friday night. I was instantly hooked! There are no Imo's restaurants in Denver, though. 😦 However, we discovered that there is a place called City Pizza & Pasta on the other side of Denver in Arvada that makes St. Louis style pizza – thin crust, Sicilian-style sweet sauce, and they even have provel cheese! That's unheard of out here! 😮 They even have toasted ravioli! 😮 😮 <- That's a double gasp!
We've been waiting for a time when everyone was off work and school to to try this place, and today is the day! I'll post photos and a review over on Bonne Cuisine.
There is a pretty large Italian influence in St. Louis. The Hill neighborhood is still largely populated by Italians, and they are trying to keep it that way to preserve the culture of the neighborhood. They have many amazing Italian restaurants on The Hill. If we still lived there, I'd probably have to set a goal of trying each and every one of them. I've only been to Rigazzi's before a concert once.
There's another Italian restaurant in Florissant that has not franchised and has been family owned and run for over 50 years: Roberto's. Imo's has my heart, but there are many who are loyal to Roberto's.
I have to be honest, though. I usually prefer mozzarella on my pizzas, but I do love provel cold on salads. It's still kind of fun to ask people at different delis if they have provel cheese. Without fail, every one of them asks, "Provolone?" and have never heard of it. 😀

To Oak or Not to Oak?
There has been a big push in recent years to reduce the use of oak in wines. Consumers apparently have had enough of the big oak butter balls, particularly when it comes to California Chardonnays, and it seems as though winemakers are listening. The current trend is using minimal amounts of oak, or in some cases, the complete elimination of oak from the ready-to-drink wine all together.
Historical Oak Barrel Use
Many centuries ago, long before industrial revolutions took hold throughout the world, the oak barrel was simply a vessel to hold wine, and wasn't considered for other uses. It wasn't until later that it was noticed that the oak not only served as a holding vessel, but also influenced the characteristics of the wine contained within. Over time, the oak industry developed into a complex animal, offering many different types of oak, different toasting options, and more recently more oak alternatives to the barrel in order to create unique wines based on the taste desired by the individual winemaker.
Why Use Oak?
By keeping a wine in oak barrels, there is an extraction of specific compounds from the wood, adding overall aromatic and structural complexity to the wine. Additionally, small amounts of oxygen enter the wine through the tiny pores in the wood, which react with the phenolic components of the wine to increase stability, aroma and complexity. Depending upon the type of oak used,
an oak barrel can impart unique sensory characteristics to a wine. The use of oak allows for the maturation of a fruit-forward wine into a more complex wine with fruit, oak, and other compounds derived from the interaction between the two. Oak barrels are also known to impart several desired sensory characteristics into the wine, including notes of toast, tea, tobacco, vanilla, and earthy characteristics. For red wines, the pores in the barrel staves allow for the necessary micro-oxygenation required to soften out the harsh tannins of a young wine, and to help it develop into a complex wine with soft, approachable tannins. Finally, a wine that is young can benefit from being held in oak barrels, as it helps to decrease astringency, increase color, and increase stability of the wine.
If using oak barrels is so beneficial for the flavor, aroma, complexity, and overall quality of a wine, why is there this trend to steer away from the use of oak in winemaking?
There may be several reasons for this trend, though I believe it started around the time people got a little too sick of the over-oaked, inexpensive, widely-distributed buttery Chardonnay wines from California. These types of wines all but flooded the wine market and didn't leave consumers with many other options. Once winemakers started hearing these "cries for help" from consumers (ABC - Anything But Chardonnay), more and more wines made with less or no oak started hitting the shelves, and the consumers responded positively by purchasing much more of these wines than their over-oaked counterparts. Some would argue, however, that completely removing the oak all together creates a completely different wine and that somehow now Chardonnay was no longer Chardonnay if it was made completely without oak. What makes a Chardonnay a Chardonnay? Is it the traditionally known complex wine with both fruit and oak flavors integrating into what is thought of as a typical Chardonnay? Or is a Chardonnay one that focuses 100% on the flavor created by the grape itself, and not covered up or hiding under a blanket of oak?
There are other issues with this decreased use of oak in wines, with one of the more serious being the hardships incurred by many cooperages that specialize in making oak barrels for use in winemaking. A recent piece in The Drinks Business elaborated on this issue, and explained that this trend of more fruit-forward wines designed to be consumed immediately has caused those cooperages that produce the oak barrels have lost a great deal of business, with sales at Vicard, a maker of quality oak barrels, decreasing by upwards of 20% in recent years. While winemakers are apparently changing their methods toward producing fruit-forward wines that consumers can drink as soon as they take the bottle home from the shop, they are inadvertently causing problems for those people and businesses that make these barrels. Several of the coopers that have seen downturns in sales due to fewer oak barrels being purchased for winemaking have shifted their focus to not only sell barrels, but to also sell oak alternatives, a trend that has been increasing in popularity for both economic and sensory reasons. Speaking with The Drinks Business, Pierre Marchais, the marketing director for Vicard, spoke to this very issue saying that "…with fewer wines being aged in oak, in order to survive as a cooper you have to be flexible and able to offer alternatives".
Using Oak Alternatives Instead of Oak Barrels
In terms of oak alternatives, there are currently many options on the market. From oak chips to oak staves, a winemaker can purchase these smaller pieces of oak to add to a stainless steel fermented wine in order to retain some oak characteristics without the use of a barrel. Some winemakers have switched to using oak alternatives mainly for economic reasons: oak barrels can cost between $400 and $1000+, while oak alternatives are markedly cheaper. Another reason why some winemakers are choosing oak alternatives instead of oak barrels is due to the savings of time created by using these alternatives: by throwing in oak chips or oak staves into the wine, the surface area of wine-to-oak is increased, thus allowing for much faster extraction of the oak characteristics into the wine. Using oak alternatives may also be attractive to wine makers, as they can use just a small amount of chips or staves in order to achieve delicate oak flavors without offending those consumers looking for less oak in their wines.
Unfortunately, the first few wines made and mass distributed that were known to have used oak chips were not very good, and thus a stigma was born that any wine made with oak alternatives is considered to be poor quality, and few people would consider purchasing these styles of wine. In fact, research has shown that consumers tend to purchase wines based on the type of wine, price, quality certification, variety, and brand. When comparing wines made using oak barrels and wine made using oak chips, one study found that consumers on average agreed they prefer wines that were made using oak barrels, and were less likely to purchase wine made using oak chips. Interestingly, these same consumers stated that if they were given the opportunity to taste the wine before purchase, they may consider buying the wine if they enjoyed the tasting experience, further confirming the notion that wines made with oak alternatives have the negative stigma of automatically being lower quality than wines made with oak barrels. Most importantly, the study found that during blind tastings, these same consumers can't actually tell the difference in quality between wines made using oak barrels and wines make using oak chips! This suggests that the stigma these consumers had against oak chips was unjustified, since they couldn't actually tell the difference between those wines produced in oak barrels and those produced with oak chips.
So what does this all mean? Clearly, there is this trend for consumers to avoid wines made with oak, as they have been turned off from the overly oaked wines such as those Chardonnays or Cabernets made in the past. However, do these consumers really want no oak at all? Or do they still like some oak but just not in overwhelming quantities? In my experience, while there are certainly people who enjoy unoaked wines, I've poured lightly oaked wines for others and have received a lot of positive responses. I think what consumers really want is balance, and not one overpowering flavor or aroma over another. In fact, a recent study on consumer willingness to pay for oak characteristics in Washington state wines found that while the fully oaked wine received a negative response from consumers (i.e. they were less willing to purchase the wine if fully oaked), the other levels of oak treatments were not significantly different in terms consumer willingness to pay. This seems to suggest that balance is what consumers want, and not "extreme oak".
Winemakers have a lot of flexibility in terms of how to create a well-balanced and not overly oaked wine, including different types of barrels, various mixes of new and neutral barrels, as well as the use of varying amounts of oak alternatives in a stainless steel fermented wine. We've all seen what happens when we go to extremes (i.e. dominating oak flavors in some Chardonnays, etc), so eliminating the use of oak in ready-to-drink wines may not be the best idea, lest we want to see another "rebellion" against completely unoaked wines in the future. Proper balance and increased consumer education on the benefits of oak alternatives may be the best solution for winemakers in this current state of flux in the consumer wine market.

Also in the pictures are my salvaged "hutch" painted with free sample black paint and my $1 dresser (yep yard sale price was $1). Found the drawers pulls at another sale with many more for $5. Total cost for the 2 pieces: $6. Now to find a nice piece of NOT brown or beige carpet......maybe some pink shag?
Also in the pics is my new quilt top. Sadly, NOT repurposed but still quite pretty if you ask me. It is my own pattern and my first made from scratch quilt. I am quite happy with it. Now I must begin the quilting process. On the bed are 5 of the 8 pillows I yard saled the other day for $2.
Soon I'll be able to share some of the repurposed ART I have in the works for the giant expanse of pink walls......stay tune.
