Our Reserve Wines are getting some love
Check out this outstanding review of our 2017 Reserve Cabernet Franc and 2017 Reserve Riesling by the amazing Annemarie Morse over at The Cork Report.
"I felt a real sense of family, dedication to creating great wines and a sense of environmental awareness strongly illustrated in this visit and I look forward to tasting more of the wines that Craig and the Hunt family continue to create."
Hunt Country Ice Wine is the Best in New York
This week the New York Wine & Grape Foundation announced the results of the 2018 New York Wine Classic, and our 2016 Vidal Blanc Ice Wine was judged to be the best ice wine in the state!
The New York Wine Classic is organized by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation and is open to all 440 wineries in New York. The awards are based on blind tastings by 21 expert judges from across the country. Judges include prominent wine writers, restaurateurs, retailers, and wine educators.
We are thrilled to have such a prominent group of individuals recognize our Ice Wine as one of the best wines in New York. We've been crafting genuine ice wine since 1987, which makes us the longest continuous producer in the United States. There is difficulty and risk involved with making a traditional ice wine like this, but it's worth it!
If you haven't tried this brilliant dessert wine before, please do! We'd love to know what you think too.
Sparkling wines are great with summer foods
The warmer, sunnier days of summer are upon us. Which means we're headed into glorious days spent grilling food and laying out picnics for family and friends. But what wine goes best with this summer abundance?
"My favorite food-pairing wines are often sparkling wines," says Craig Hosbach, winemaker at Hunt Country Vineyards on Keuka Lake. "Sparkling wines are extremely food-friendly because the bubbles cleanse your palate, preparing you for your next bite of food."
The trick, he says, is to find rich foods that can hold their own against the carbonation. Smoked meats, cream sauces and strong cheeses like brie are a great place to start. Hunt Country's brand new Moscato, for example, is fantastic with strong, spicy Asian or Mexican dishes.
But then there's Remedy from Hunt Country, a brand new sparkling rosé that pairs wonderfully with more subtle fare like grilled salmon or tomato-cucumber salad.
"I'm always striving to make wines that combine two things that we're passionate about here at the farm," says Hosbach. "Growing great grapes to make great wines that complete your meal."
So what makes a great sparkling wine?
"Balance," he says. Hosbach believes that most (if not all) sparkling wines require a little bit of residual sugar to compliment the carbonation.
Moscato and Remedy are just two of the new wines released by the Hunt family just in time for summer. They also have a Traminette and a Cabernet Franc Rosé, and they're welcoming the return of a long-time favorite: their Pinot Gris.
To see all the wines they have to offer, visit Hunt Country Vineyards at their tasting room on Keuka Lake or online at HuntWines.com.

Conquer Low Platelets
Given the major role of unfractionated heparin (UFH) for anticoagulation in hemodialysis (HD), it is important to define the potential impact of immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in contributing to morbidity and mortality in patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure.
To date, there is only one study reporting the incidence of HIT in patients being newly treated with HD. Six of 154 patients (3.9%) were clinically suspected of having developed HIT because of a fall in the platelet count accompanied by clotting of the dialyzer and extracorporeal circuit (Yamamoto et al., 1996). The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of HIT antibodies in all but one patient. Only one patient developed organ damage from thrombosis (myocardial infarction and stroke). All six patients were switched to an alternative anticoagulant and did not suffer from thromboembolic events in the follow-up period. Compared with the incidence of HIT of 2.7% found in 332 hip surgery patients undergoing thromboprophylaxis with UFH (Warkentin et al., 1995), the incidence of HIT in acute HD patients thus appears to be similar, regardless of the underlying cause of renal dysfunction (Finazzi and Remuzzi, 1996).
Several cross-sectional studies of HIT and anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin antibody formation in HD patients report detection of antibodies in up to 18% of HD patients receiving UFH (Table 1). For patients undergoing HD using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), the frequency in one study was 0.3% (1/133) (Boon et al., 1996). Only in a few patients did HIT antibodies cause thrombocyto-penia or thromboembolic events.
Tentative conclusions suggested by these studies are that only a few patients who form anti-PF4/heparin antibodies in association with HD develop clinical events and that these are more likely to be clotting of the dialyzer and extra-corporeal circuit than symptomatic thrombosis affecting the patient. It is also possible that the risk of clinical HIT is higher in patients starting HD (the population studied by Yamamoto et al.) than in patients in the long-term phase of HD (as per the remaining studies). Anecdotal case reports of HIT complicating HD also seem frequently to include patients undergoing short-term HD (Matsuo et al., 1989; Hall et al., 1992; Nowak et al., 1997; Gupta et al., 1998), or HD given in a postoperative setting (Hartman et al., 2006). Given the low rate of throm-boembolic events in HD patients having antibodies in the absence of thrombocyto-penia, switch to alternative anticoagulants has been considered justified only if clinical symptoms or signs of HIT occur (Greinacher et al., 1996).
Another complicating feature is that UFH can exert a platelet proaggregatory effect even in the absence of anti-PF4/heparin antibodies, particularly in critically

The young woman known to millions of South African's as Zephany Nurse joined Cape Talk's John Maytham to tell her incredible story in her own words.
RELATED: 'I'm not trying to justify what she did,' Zephany Nurse in her own words
Earlier this week the High Court ruled that a ban on identifying the 22-year-old could be lifted.
Miche Solomon, as she is now known, was only three days old when she was kidnapped from her mother's hospital bedside in 1997.
Litha Stwayi from the Centre for Child Law explains the significance of this week's High Court ruling.
It's our client actually opting to reveal her identity.— Litha Stwayi, Attorney - Centre for Child Law
Stwayi explains that only children who are part of criminal proceedings, as witnesses or child offenders, have their identities protected by the courts, meaning Solomon.
With her specific case, when she found out she was a victim of this specific crime, it was two months before she turned 18, but she was not a witness under the Criminal Procedures Act.— Litha Stwayi, Attorney - Centre for Child Law
In 2015, the woman Solomon's believed to be her mother was sentenced to 10-years in prison for kidnapping.
A tell-all book, published by NB and co-written with local author Joanne Jowell was released this week.
Solomon will be talking to John Maytham live on Cape Talk on Thursday 15 August at 4pm.

According to an ISCA report, Dr. Velayati made the remarks at a ceremony to unveil an illustrated book of Persian Gulf's history in Tehran that "the colonialists' dreams of changing the Persian Gulf's name will never come true."
"In the historic works left from ancient Greece, this body of water is named the Persian Gulf and in addition to that whoever wrote a book on the history or the geopolitics of this region has referred to this area as the Persian Gulf," reiterated the Iranian former foreign minister.
Ancient books and documents all show that the Persian Gulf or (Sinous Persicous) has always been an inalienable part of Persia (modern day Iran) and display how many world topographers and geographers have underlined the Iranian identity of the waterway.
"According to UN documents, this gulf has always been referred to as the Persian Gulf," noted the Iranian official, "Why they are insisting on this name change? Because with changing the name they can move toward change of identity and sovereignty. This is an introduction to bring up some other baseless claims against Iran's territorial integrity," underlined Mr. Velayati.
"The coasts of Iran in the Persian Gulf are longer than the total of the 6 Arab countries' coasts and they will never see their dream of changing the name of the Persian Gulf realized," he articulated.

"My wife and I first met Sandy at a seminar she conducted in Loveland in September of 2013 called ... "Extraordinary Travel for Ordinary Couples". Since we consider ourselves ordinary middle-class people with middle-class retirement income ... the seminar struck a hopeful cord in us. Though not rich, we love to travel and met the people of our world. When we decided to make a trip to Europe, we (as a result of that seminar) felt led to contact Sandy. She has not disappointed us. With her help we are planning an affordable trip that has us excited. Sandy, having been to where we are planning to go, is lining up places to see and places to stay that she personally has stayed and seem. It is exciting to work with somebody who says ... "You gotta see that! You gotta experience this! You gotta stay here!"
Sandy, however, is not just a world traveler who knows where to go. She is also a detail person like I am. Though our trip is months away, she has almost made all the reservations we need including a GPS system that we can use when we go touring on our own. Every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed. As a detail person, that means a lot to me.
If you are looking forward a highly qualified person to help you plan your travels --
Sandy is someone I would highly recommend."

"We had the good fortune to work with Sandy McMillen in arranging a cruise and trip to Italy and several surrounding countries in November of 2014. We met Sandy at one of her seminars in the summer and she subsequently made us aware of a bargain cruise in the late-season. She helped us arrange a better cabin on the ship and made reservations for hotels and a rental car in Italy. Thanks to her consultation and good planning we had a very enjoyable cruise and tour of Italy that went off without a hitch. We look forward to the planning another trip with her in the future."
Terry and Janell Francl
Don't leave home without her!
"Sandy is not only the best travel agent we've ever dealt with, but in truth no other agent comes close. She's head and shoulders above the others for three reasons: She has been to every place she recommends, she listens, and she is the consummate professional who sweats the details. In saying she has been to the places we don't just mean just the destination, we mean the hotels she's recommending, the restaurants, the activities. Sandy and her husband love to travel and she has turned this love into a passion for helping others enjoy countries and places in a way they never would without her experience. She knows places like the back of her hand, and then combined with her knowledge, she listens to her clients. Question after question about what type of hotels do you like, what type of activities, comfort level with various modes of transportation, etc. She then works on putting together, in every detail, an amazing experience tailored exactly to you. Sandy is amazing!"

The Flavor of Barcelona
"Sandra was so very easy to work with. She helped to book our airfare, apartment and tours. It became very overwhelming in hotel hunting. Never having visited Barcelona, Spain before, I did not know what area to look in. Sandra spent time asking about our needs and wants. We were visiting a daughter who is studying in Barcelona. We need more space than a hotel had to offer. Sandra found us a quaint apartment in a beautiful neighborhood that met and exceeded our expectations. We truly got the flavor of how people in Barcelona live. I definitely recommend Sandra with all of your travel needs because of her willingness to help and her expertise."

Memorable Family Reunion Cruise
"Sandy is very friendly and listened to what our large group needs/budgets were. She was able to speak from experience regarding the sites we visited. We would certainly work with her again!"

Dream trip come true!
"Sandy was quick, friendly, extremely easy to work with and helped us get a great vacation package that was exactly what we were looking for!"
Fort Collins, CO
An adventuresome trip without the worry!
"Sandy has booked several trips for us that involved complicated itineraries. One time we drove all over the northern part of France and Belgium, another trip involved visiting Germany and Austria with several spots we wanted to stop at and enjoy. The lodging she found was amazing and reasonable, and the suggestions for touring were perfect. This year we are visiting Slovenia and Croatia. Sandy has pulled together a great itinerary for us after listening carefully to our needs and desires. Sandy is very dedicated to her clients and very knowledgeable in the travel arena."

Russell, KS
The best experience I've had booking a cruise
"Sandra was absolutely amazing! She very efficiently booked our cruise including our lodging in San Juan days before boarding the Jewel of the Seas. Sandy also arranged shuttle services to the ship and, finally, to the airport for our return trip home. She was very helpful including purchasing two drink packages on board for myself and my husband before we left home for the trip. I'm failing to mention all of the smaller things she helped me with because there were so many. I'm sure we'll be using her services in the future. I absolutely recommend her to whoever needs a travel agent."

Dream Vacation
"Want to plan a trip but don't have the time to research flights, hotels, tours, etc.? We would highly recommend Sandy McMillan of Ordinary Couple Travels. Sandy's attention to detail is incredible. We had a dream vacation that Sandy helped us plan filled with incredible, destinations, people, and foods, in Spain, France, and Italy. Sandy's intinerary ensured our successful navigation of each place and provided fun experiences we would have probably missed. Sandy is knowledgeable and a delightful person to work with, we felt she really cared about us and our travel plans. Thank you Sandy, you exceeded all expectations."
Windsor, CO
Could have never planned this trip without Sandy!
"I have tried planning trips to foreign countries on my own and have always ended up regretting certain decisions I've made. For the first time, I thought I'd use a travel agent. Sandy was referred to me by a friend, and I wasn't sure what to expect. As it turned out, Sandy took the time to figure out the kinds of things we like to do (hike, not lay on a beach, that sort of thing). She quickly went to work helping us plan an itinerary and finding us reasonable hotels that met our needs for a good bed and a decent price. When I had questions, Sandy responded almost immediately. She has taken the stress of planning this "bucket list" trip for us and, as a result, I have no doubt that we will have a whole lot more fun knowing that everything has been thought about and planned ahead - and she has even assured me that we can make changes if the circumstances warrant this when we arrive. I have never reviewed anything/anyone before but want to assure anyone interested that Sandy and Ordinary Couples Travel is the way to go!"

Delightful accommodations!
"Sandy has helped us plan and secure arrangements for several European visits. We were delighted with the small, charming, friendly hotels she found for us. Sandy specializes in finding these unique and memorable paces to fit within our budget. We really appreciate that she personally contacts each hotel to verify and confirm the arrangements. Sandy also helped us save us money on car rentals and suggested we take our own GPS device for driving directions (make sure your GPS has the detailed European maps if you do this). We really like Sandy's follow-up after each trip to make sure the accommodations and other arrangements met our expectations. Her enthusiasm for travel is exciting and fun! We will definitely use Sandy's services again!"

Sandra made our trip plans super easy!
"We don't enjoy making reservations or scheduling our trips ourselves. Sandra made all our reservations, and made everything extremely easy and convenient! We highly recommend using Sandra's services. She is awesome!"

Sandy was extremely helpful in planning our river cruise
"Sandy, helped us not only compare River Cruise destinations, but also River Cruise companies. If she did not know the answer off the top of her head, she always found out the answer and got back to me very quickly. She had some great ideas for cabin locations etc. I would definitely recommend Sandy and will use her in the future if I need a Travel Agent."
Fort Collins, CO
Details, details, details!
"There are travel agents who can plan a trip, and there are agents who plan experiences....Sandy goes for the latter! She has planned two trips for me---a girls beach trip to Mexico and a 2 week trip to Italy for my husband and I. In planning both trips, Sandy's first question was always, "What kind of experience do you want to have?" She is so detailed oriented and ensures that everything is in place for a wonderful trip. Sandy has traveled extensively herself, so she brings incredible personal knowledge to the table. If she doesn't know the answer to any question, she quickly does the research and finds out! She has now become my personal "go-to" for any and all travel inquiries!"
Responsive and reasonable
"I just took a chance in contacting her since she was local. I was very pleased. She always got back to me promptly and listened to my requests. I have already referred a friend."

She helped us with every step, even when we changed our plans.
"Sandy helped us as we planned a surprise Christmas present for kids to go to Disney World over spring break. Her appointments were flexible. We have not traveled much. Sandy helped us plan for things that I would never have thought of. She helped plan everything from contacting Disney, booking our Disney package, booking a hotel so we could go tho the beach. She even added a room so we could meet up with family on our last days in Florida. She helped with every aspect. She is a great resource. She will be calling her for any future travel needs."
Eaton, CO
Amazing , Sandy is like American Express, don't leavehome without her!
"Estonia and Latvia. We took this trip in July and the weather was perfect. Every place we turned looked like a post card. I had never used a travel agent before as I feel pretty computer savvy and have usually booked all of my trips myself from travel web sites. After using Sandy, I will never book a large trip without her. She anticipated every detail of the trip such as transfers and need for Visas in certain areas. She took a long time discovering our needs to make sure we got what we wanted from our trip. Sandy took the time to compile a travel guide for us based on our interested and cruise itinerary. She had did hours of research for us to find the best price and the highest rated excursions. She took all the stress out of the equation. My Mom is a litter older and I wanted to give her the trip of her dreams while she still physically can. Wow. I am serious she will help you plan the trip of a lifetime. This trip is perfect for anyone who is interested in amazing art, great food, history, and or a wonderful way to see the Baltic in 10 days while relaxing on a beautiful ship! Sandy went above and beyond for us. I took my mother on a cruise of the Baltic. We saw Sweden, Finland, Russia,"
Windsor, CO
Easy Scandinavia
"I've traveled extensively and until this trip had never used a travel agent. I like to do my own research and plan my own time. However, recent medical issues had made concentrating on anything for more than a few minutes very difficult. Having met Sandy at an event at our library I decided to give her a call. I explained my situation, likes and dislikes, time frame and budget. Sandy called me back promptly and said even though she knew I preferred a "go it alone" route that there was a group tour that fit my needs as far as timing and cost. After more questions and discussion I decided to sign up for the tour and just book my flights to arrive 5 days early and stay 5 days after the tour. The tour worked out wonderfully, although i struck out on my own in the major cities; Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen and Stockholm. As I was traveling as a single I would not have been able to rent a car or book hotels at a competitive rate to what the tour offered. As my plans were fluid about what to do after the group tour ended I emailed Sandy 2 days before the end asking her to book additional nights in a hotel for me which she did and promptly emailed me back. In the future we will use Sandy unless (and even sometimes when) we are traveling to a place we are very familiar with."
Loveland CO
Great Trip
"In the Fall of 2013 my wife and I attended a seminar led by Sandy called ... "Extraordinary Travel for Ordinary People." Later I bought and read the book bearing the same title written by Sandy. What I saw and read led my wife and I to ask Sandy to plan a trip for us to London and Paris. We were not dis-appointed by what she arranged. We got to see and experience parts of France that other people only dream about. This past September we had Sandy arrange another trip for us to Europe. Once again, we were not dis-appointed. Sandy hooked us up with a Tour that took us to Munich, Prague, Budapest, Vienna & Salzburg called "Imperial Splendors." Though we are common ordinary middle class people -- we saw, experienced and tasted things that made us feel like extraordinary people. We highly, highly, recommend Sandy to people who want to experience the kind of travel they've always dreamed about."
Loveland CO
Great travel agent!!
"Sandy has planned several trips for us, which have included Las Vegas, Disneyland, Dominican Republic, and an eastern Caribbean cruise. Every trip has been exceptional and Sandy has gone above and beyond by having a bottle of wine in our room waiting for us when we arrived. She really takes the time help make each trip unique and memorable! We couldn't imagine planning a vacation without the help of Sandy!"
Windsor, CO
Extraordinary Travel for Ordinary People
"Sandy has arranged two trips for me. The first, involving international travel, the second domestic. I have reviewed her efforts for travel to Turkey elsewhere. But the second was for dull boring travel between Windsor and Portland, OR that circumstances dictated occur with only a few days notice. I talked with her on a Monday (as I recall) and by Wednesday she had developed options for air travel, rental car and hotel, discussed them with me and completed the reservations. The trip went well, in part because of suggestions by Sandy that, for example, I pay additional to arrange earlier boarding on SWA and finding an in airport rental car agency as cheap as those off airport. One delightful surprise was the Crowne Plaza hotel in Portland was ritzy enough that no continental breakfast was offered. But, because of that, I discovered that breakfast can be as enjoyable as dinner in a quality restaurant. Too often in our rush we grab something off the buffet and are on our way losing that comfortable start to the day. Thanks Sandy!"
Windsor, CO
She is so responsive
"Sandy is the nicest person to talk with over the phone. She always makes you feel like you are the most important client of hers. I plan trips for 50+ and she has set up all the lodging for 2 of my trips. She has helped tremendously and got me a better price than I would have gotten otherwise. She is also well traveled herself and has had many unique experiences that she is in tune with her clients needs and can recommend a broad range. She has written a really neat book about those experiences called "Extraordinary Travels of an Ordinary Couple." It really shows you that you don't have to be rich or special to have amazing travel experiences and even eat with a princess. If you are looking for a cookie cutter same old, same old kind of tour look online, but if you want a memory of a lifetime...call Sandy."

Extraordinary Service for Ordinary People
"Ordinary Travel and I began planning for my adventure before my knee joint replacement surgery. Starting early, this would provide something to look forward to during the physical therapy needed following surgery. Sandy swayed me from my original destination, Florence, Italy, to touring Turkey appealing to my sense of adventure and engaging in new experiences. What a wonderful suggestion that she has brought to reality despite my fumbling attempts to "help". And there were adventures even during the setting up stage, first came a tour cancelled by the operator then a second surgery to replace a shoulder (I do not mind growing old, it is the falling apart that annoys me) delaying the start by a month. The resources used by Ordinary Couple Travel are impressive, quickly gathering together options and executing the ones chosen. Then quickly adapting to changes all the while with professionalism, courtesy and increasing the depth of our emerging friendship. Of particular note was Sandy providing "thumbnail" sketches of the places I would be visiting, recommendations for local tours and operators and most useful suggestions on how to deal with trivia such as using local transport (taxis, buses) instead of expensive tour operator arranged transport. My first experience planning with a professional was impressive, helpful in discovering new venues and delightful in that I will truly enjoy the results of her attending to details that would not even occur to me. Thank you for this opportunity to let others know that planning a trip with a professional enhances the anticipation of the actual pleasure of the trip itself."

This past weekend, my sister and I had the privilege to be with a wonderful group of women, some who we already considered friends and some who are now new friends. This lovely weekend was spent at the NC Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell which is right across the bridge from Oak Island, NC. Neither of us had ever been to this retreat center. What a magnificent place for a time to laugh, sing, worship, and hear God's Word proclaimed.
On Friday night, after a delicious meal, we were awed by the testimony of one of the retreat attendees. It was a testimony to the healing power and greatness of our Father God. Because of God's amazing grace, this woman was able to get up from a hospital bed and continue to live her life, although the doctors had already given up on her.
A second testimony was given on Saturday evening. It was a testament to God's grace when we mess up. I am afraid most people don't even begin to realize just how much God loves us. So many have God pictured as someone waiting for us to fail so He can bop us on the head. That is so not God!!! He would rather we walk in complete obedience, but He understands we are weak flesh. So when we do mess up and confess it to Him, He smiles at us and loves up on us as if none of it had ever happened. Isn't that just absolutely amazing?!?!?!
Saturday, our guest speaker, Dawn, (that's her in the pic on the right) spoke to us about waiting on God for His directions and then obediently walking out those directions. We had some time in small groups to discuss the impact of what we learned. Waiting is hard for us, isn't it? I know I get ahead of God so many times and because of that, I believe we miss out on blessings. His way is always better!!! If I could just get that in my pea-brain and let Him direct every area of my life.
A highlight of the weekend for me was the prayer cards we filled out and put in a hat to be chosen by someone. What a joy when I unfolded the card I chose and found it to be from a young woman I had met for the first time on Friday night. I was struck by the fact that her prayer request had to do with living her life fully for God in her season of singleness, because that is where I find myself now; single. Although we are over 30 years apart in age,she has already become important to me. On Sunday, before we left, I told her that I had chosen her prayer card and asked her about us "doing" single together. We exchanged phone numbers and have already spent some time talking on the phone and making plans for next week. God truly does work in mysterious ways!
Sunday morning, we had church. Now I mean WE HAD CHURCH! Joan shared from Psalm 34 and spoke about the goodness of God. What does it mean that God is good? God is the definition of good. He is The Good. Anything "really" good is from Him. He cannot be less good or more good than He is. His actions are good. His plan is good. His purpose is good. And His redemption is good. Verses 1 and 2 tell us to bless the Lord at all times and that His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Did you know that praise and obedience "put a smile on God's face?" We magnify the Lord by walking in obedience because He is good.
We closed our time together by partaking of communion. It was so moving. The first person was served communion and that person served the next woman. One-by-one we went up and received and gave the sacraments. We truly were standing on holy ground.
These past months I have found my time with the Lord coming up short; my fault to be sure. During Les' sickness, I spent much time with God asking for wisdom, healing and peace. His wisdom was always available as needed. Les received complete and eternal healing. And peace has filled my heart to overflowing. But it has been hard to focus. This has affected my quiet time with God as well as most everything else in my life. This past weekend was a balm for my dry soul. I had felt the Lord nudge me to attend this retreat. I am so very glad I listened to His direction. It was just what I needed!!!
Lots of love, Sharon

Today was the first day of the FMCA Family Reunion and it was a very full day. We had already picked up our registration materials so we kind of had an idea of where we were heading. Jerry's first session was on Maj Jong! Apparently he learned a lot because it lasted a pretty long time. I headed over to Chris and Jim Guild's session on Technology for Travelers: Pictures Maps, Movies, and Blogs. Although I had heard some of the things before of course there was more to learn. Today's class just touched on some of the subjects they will be covering in more depth during the week-end. I really want to play with making a Google map but I surely won't have any time for that in the next few days.
After our sessions Jerry headed over to a session on how to detail your coach in an hour. He said he learned some very valuable tips and encouraged me to attend a later session on cleaning the inside. I had already planned to go.
We walked over to see the new coach demonstration but actually ended up going to the Newmar section and talking with Matt, the head of customer service for quite a while. We were in a Canyon Star and another guy, Clarence, came in and he too had a Canyon Star so there was quite a lot of idea exchanging. I think Jerry got some good tips.
I left him there and headed to the session on Microwave/Convection Cooking. One of the most relevant things I learned was that everyone else's convection can preheat in under five minutes. It takes ours forever so I'm guessing something might be wrong there. Oh well.
After the sessions we came back to the coach and sat outside and rested a bit before heading back over to join Jan, Jim and their FMCA group for potluck dinner. What a nice group of people. They're getting together again on Saturday and asked us to join them again.
After a quick run to the grocery store we came back to a fairly cool coach considering we've only got one air conditioner going. It has been cooler today though plus most of the time it's been overcast so that has helped keep the temp down. Tomorrow is supposed to be even cooler. Let's hope! All in all so far the weather has been great for a rally.

October the 1st last year was when we first sliced the pumpkin .
From then on we have saved the seeds, grown the seeds, and eaten the pumpkins.
So I think we will be 1 year old.
We have gathered members, seeds, plants, a blog (thanks to Kate).
We have shared garden chats, recipes, photos and now we are sharing skills we have.
We have made contact with Pattie from Foodshed and enjoy her daily articles.
We have celebrated International Kitchen garden Day with the world.
We have made contact with other bloggers and gardening links.
We have been on some great outings together.
We have had some unbelievable food feasts together.
But most importantly we have saved seeds and shared seeds.
We have experienced generosity of spirit, fun, laughter and frustration over lack of rain.
We have also shared friendship and connectedness with each other and with nature.
So thank you all for your contributions and many, many happy memories.
PS. We have also had a baby, (well not really!) and we are happy to make baby Peter a life long member of the Hills and Plains Seedsavers group.

I recently rented a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport for a family holiday. It is an interesting contrast with the Toyota Fortuner, which I reviewed earlier in the year. Overall the Pajero Sport is the better car, although not by much.
The Pajero Sport is actually the 3rd generation Mitsubishi Challenger. As far as I know, the only relationship with the full size Pajero is the name.
Regular readers of this site will know I am not a fan of this type of car. I think they are mediocre at everything. I also don't see the need to buy your car around the 1-2 times per year you might want to tow something or go off-road. There are better ways to haul four people, there are much nicer cars to drive, much better value cars and better equipped cars.
In comparison with the Fortuner, the ride is very slightly better, and the engine/transmission is far more willing to overtake at freeway speed. More importantly, the 3rd row seat are a better design. Instead of folding into the sides and taking up a lot of the load area, they fold flat into the load area floor. You still have the issue of getting into these seats if you have child seats in the middle row, vs cars with rear facing seats. Like the Fortuner, the Pajero Sport is fairly fuel efficient for such a large vehicle. It is not quite as efficient as the Fortuner.
There are two things that are worse than the fortuner. The first is that you cannot quickly turn on the ignition to get the A/C running while you load children and bags. You must get in the car and hold the brake pedal down. Annoying. Secondly, the rear loading area is really high and difficult for even an average adult to climb up in there. Strangely the tailgate is low and I struck my head on it a few times.
Overall I would not buy a Pajero Sport. But I would buy one over a Toyota Fortuner. It is worth the slight fuel efficiency penalty and sometimes knocking your head on the tailgate.
3.25 / 5.

ABA Psychological Services, P.C. is a private professional agency providing high quality, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy to children and adults of all ages who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Learn More
Since the 1960s, there has been an abundance of research demonstrating the
effectiveness of ABA for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
In fact, the United States Surgeon General concluded that:
"Thirty years of research demonstrated the efficacy of applied behavioral methods in reducing inappropriate behavior and in increasing communication, learning and appropriate social behavior."
When a child is displaying problem behavior, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct a comprehensive behavioral evaluation. This evaluation, known as a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA), is designed to determine exactly why the child is engaging in problem behavior.
We focus on teaching skills that are necessary for success in life. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been shown to be effective in the teaching of self-care skills, communication skills, social skills, independent living skills, and skills that are required to succeed in the workplace.

A recent study, published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, looked at the anxiety levels of 1037 participants aged 15 to 32 in the long-running Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study and identified about one quarter of the group who were dentally anxious.
Split into three groups, they had always been dentally anxious (stable anxious); or had developed dental anxiety later as adolescents (adolescent-onset anxious), or as adults (adult- onset anxious).
Those in the stable anxious group had more tooth decay at age five and early experience of dentists; the adult-onset group was more likely to have lost teeth between the ages of 26 and 32, while the adolescent-onset anxious group had experienced more tooth decay from the age of 15.
Those with dental anxiety were more than just people who visit the dentist with a feeling of trepidation as the dentist looms over them with drill in hand; they were so frightened at the prospect of visiting a dentist or having dental procedures that they would avoid the dentist altogether – until the problem became so serious that treatment could no longer be avoided.
Researchers, led by Professor Murray Thomson, of the University's Department of Oral Sciences, probed deeper into the characteristics of these anxious groups and found that they tended to be "the glass-half-empty" personality type – people who, as a rule, would be anxious about other things, such as heights. Some in this group were also anxious due to bad dental experiences in the past.
"Usually, these people become more and more anxious through a vicious cycle of avoiding the dentist to the point where their dental condition becomes much worse," he says.
"They then require more unpleasant treatment options such as lancing an abscess, root canal treatment or a tooth extraction; and this reinforces their dental anxiety and makes it even less likely that they will attend the dentist next time they have a problem."
As a consequence, people who are dentally anxious end up with more tooth decay and more missing teeth than those who are not.
This was reflected in tooth decay statistics which showed that non-anxious people would have about 13 decayed, missing or filled tooth surfaces by the age of 32, whereas the stable anxious group would have almost double that – 22 surfaces affected by tooth decay – by 32.
In the study, three non-anxious groups were also identified, comprising three-quarters of the people studied; the three non-anxious groups were named stable non-anxious low; stable non-anxious medium and the recovery group.
"The anxious groups tend to be more nervous than others, while the non-anxious groups tend to have more robust personalities, and are more able to cope with what life throws at them – these are the majority," Professor Thomson says.
The biggest surprise was the appearance during the study of a 'recovery' group, which had been dentally anxious at age 15, but had ceased to be so by the age of 32.
"We only had 13 respondents in this group, which is too small to study, but we would like to do more work in this area to find out what makes people cease to be anxious," he says.
Professor Thomson says the study has implications for the dentistry profession and for the public.
"This gives the dental profession a good understanding of what makes people dentally anxious, and to be mindful that some people can grow out of it," he says.
"For the public, it's useful to know that, if you take the path of least resistance and avoid dental care, then in the end you will be worse off, not only dentally but also in terms of appearance, social interactions and your quality of life."
This reinforces previous findings from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Study which show that poor oral health can lead to compromised quality of life and other health-related problems.

Verdict: A very intense love story that will leave you spell bound!
Arjun Reddy stars Vijay Devarakonda and Shalini in lead roles and is written and directed by debutante Sandeep Reddy Vanga and produced by Pranay Reddy Vanga. The theatrical trailer of Arjun Reddy has been impeccable and has caught the attention of the youth instantly. The expectations exceeded after the trailer release. Touted to be a youthful love story, music has been given by Radhan and cinematography has been handled by Raju Thota. Let's see what this debutante director has in store for the audience.
Arjun Reddy (Vijay Devarakonda) and Preethi (Shalini Pandey) love each other while pursuing their studies in medicine. Arjun is senior to Preethi in college and helps her against other students who get to ragging or try to do anything mischievous. Preethi's parents are against their love because Arjun is of a lower caste. They get their daughter married to a person of their caste. Arjun Reddy cannot withstand this. He is also thrown out from his house for his aggressive attitude with Preethi's parents. Arjun Reddy spoils his career by getting into drugs. What happens next? Will Preethi and Arjun Reddy meet again? To know all this and many more, do watch Arjun Reddy at a theatre near you.
Vijay Devarakonda is extremely handsome and was a treat to watch him. His acting skills are impeccable and deserve all accolades. He emotes well with his attitude and mannerisms and has breathed life to the character. Shalini is cute and beautiful as Arjun's love interest and has done full justice to the character. She had very few dialogues initially. Her expressions did a lot of talking. Arjun's grandmother's character was good and seemed natural. Rahul Ramakrishna as Arjun's friend is one of the major highlights of Arjun Reddy. He has done a fantastic job and has taken care of the comic relief in the film. Kamal Kamraj as Arjun's brother was decent and Sanjay Swaroop as Arjun's dad was good. All the rest of the characters were apt.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga doesn't seem like he is directing for the first time. He needs to be applauded for his work that will be remembered for many years to come. Everything from editing, screenplay, cinematography to music and background score are outstanding. The film's runtime is 3 hours 7 minutes, which is quite unusual for a Telugu movie. But the director needs to be appreciated for getting the audience glued to their seats with his fantastic style of narration.
Why You Should Watch This Movie:
Arjun Reddy is an intense love story with a wonderful message. A must watch movie and will be adored by audience who seek novelty.

Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
"PHP has matured into a powerful language that's easy to learn
and is supported on many platforms. However, flexibility and ease
of use come at a price: system performance. PHP, like all
interpreted languages, must be converted to code native to the host
system. In the compiled languages, the compiler does this once
before deployment, of course, (a pain when incrementally upgrading
a live project). Interpretation can impact performance
considerably, especially on a smaller system or a heavily loaded
one, because it takes time to perform. PHP is by no means slow, but
it's still slower than code that's compiled beforehand and runs
natively on a system (though Zend Technologies, employer of PHP
inventors, developers, and administrators claim to have increased
the PHP4 interpreter's speed 20 to 100 percent over PHP 3)."
"Zend Technologies totally rewrote the PHP 4 interpreter, called
the Zend Engine, following a new set of design philosophies that
affected many features including modularity and extensibility. As I
mentioned before, these changes made the interpreter much faster
when faced with complex scripts. The Zend Engine's modularity will
also allow the Zend folks to introduce several products later this
year that will further increase PHP's performance. One available
now is the Zend Optimizer."

One of the reason I put off going to seminary (other than the deep conviction that the phone lines had been crossed when I got the 'call') was my inability with languages other than English, which presented problems of its own.
When I finally did give in to the God-who-is-like-a-tenacious-bulldog and went to seminary, you can imagine my surprise that I not only made it through Greek, but absolutely loved studying Hebrew! In fact, my study of Hebrew gave me a new appreciation for the wonder, the grace, the steadfast love of the God the Chosen revealed to us in the Old Testament. It removed any lingering questions about there being two different gods in the two different testaments.
Take the concept of 'commandment.' I grew up, probably like most folks, believing that the commandments given in the OT, especially the Top Ten, were "orders" given to us by that stern and punishing God who shook the mountains. If I took a candy bar off the shelf, God would turn up the flames in hell a little bit. If I gossiped about a friend, the dial was turned to medium. And if I wanted to sleep in on Sunday instead of going to church - well, I was toast!
Then I learned the Hebrew word 'mitzvah' (which we translate into English as 'commandment'). What a difference! Instead of an order, I discovered a honor and privilege given to us by God who has given us life. Rather than a rule, I found a responsibility that is mine as part of the covenant God has made with me. A burden that was almost impossible to carry became a good deed that I am longing to perform over and over. Grace replaced guilt, love overcame law, faith trumped fear.
No wonder the psalmist could talk about these words being a delight. God gave them to us, not so we would become lawyers, but so we would become lovers.
