Emeritus Vinyeards Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir 2007
Winemaker's Notes:
The 2007 growing season on the Sonoma Coast provided near-perfect conditions for Pinot Noir. Spring saw no frost visiting the vineyards and warm daytime temperatures from summer into fall gently ripened the grapes. The grapes were picked with their fruit flavors still youthful and alive. William Wesley Vineyard's soil composition of Goldridge soils with a sandstone base has a low water retention capacity that creates competition for water and nutrients among the vines. Stressed vines bear small-berried clusters that produce concentrated juice with intense flavors and higher tannins resulting in a wine suited to long-term aging.
Member Reviews for Emeritus Vinyeards Hallberg Ranch Pinot NoirAdd your review
Great strawberry and mixed red and black berry fruit on the nose. Subtle spice and some flowers. It's lush and pretty. On the palate, it's deep and rich. Very tasty. Has good depth and concentration of blackberry, wild berry, mineral, sage and some dusty nuances. 1/21/12
Dark fruits and some dark chocolate on the nose. This has a very un-pinot-like nose. Blackberries and the slightest licorice nuance. Youthful with big acidity and round tannins. Big tannin on the finish. Super dark fruit with only hints of spice or oak. - Tasted at Marché Bacchus 5/15/10
One of the best CA pinot's we have every had. We had it at one of our favorite restaurants a few years ago. I contacted teh winemaker Brice and he invited us to come and visit the next time were in in Wine Country. We did. What an incredible visit! We got a personal tour of the vineyards and the winery! We will keep buying and drinking this wine!
I had this wine at the W Union Sqaure NYC. It was the best Pinot Noir I have had in recent memory. Lively, flavor explodes in mouth, balanced with tannins, fruit and alchohol. I was wtih 4 otherse and it was unanimous. This is a great wine. I found it online for 28 dollars plus shipping. Enjoy!
Four and a half glasses
Food Pairings for Emeritus Vinyeards Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes:
The 2007 William Wesley is the finest expression of Sonoma Coast mountain–fruit terroir. Our coastal vineyards promote high acidity, flavor intensity and structure in a lush, dense wine. On the palate, the William Wesley cuvée has dark fruit characteristics with blackberry flavors and licorice nuances, yet still displays the charm and elegance that defines Emeritus Pinot Noir. The wine is youthful with vibrant acidity and round tannins—which favor its aging capability.

Might we have seen the end of two formerly formidable, now faded heavyweights last night? We've surely seen the last of Bermane Stiverne, who has no possible way back from the quick first-round blitzing he fell victim to against WBC ruler Deontay Wilder, and we may have seen the end of British heavyweight Dereck Chisora – at least at top level.
Beaten by defending European champion Agit Kabayel in Monaco, 33 year old Chisora could not cope with the 25 year old's speed and boxing skill. Out-pointed by scores of 115-113 and 115-114, the third judge having it all even at 114-114, Chisora fell to 27-8(19). Germany's Kabayel, who was making the first defence of the European title he won back in February, is now 17-0(12).
Chisora was unable to get into the fight, into a groove, until it was too late. Caught with fast shots as he romped forwards, Chisora was soon frustrated and he knew he was falling behind on points. A late-rounds rally saw "Del Boy" pour it on, but it was too little too late. The decision was close and it wasn't as though Chisora got badly beaten up, but he has now lost three of his last six and maybe that December 2016 war with Dillian Whyte took a whole lot out of Chisora as many had expected (will we ever see that rematch now?)
In typical defiance, Chisora inisted he is not done, however.
"I'm not going to complain, I lost the fight," Chisora said graciously. "I always bounce back so I'm not worried."
But can Chisora, who has been involved in a number of hard, gruelling fights during his now 10-year pro career (11 years in Feb.) bounce back one more time? It could prove to be a long road back to another title fight of any kind. As for Kabayel, he is a solid all-rounder and at age 25 he has plenty of time on his side. It would be interesting to see him in there with a bigger name.

The room is lit, calmly. Friday morning. A new Catnip article.
"I just... don't get it..." sadly admits Mr. Berube. "That's not even- where's the joke?"
"That's not even satire. That's just stupid," critiqued a substitute teacher. "It's like, he thought that was funny, but the catch is, it's totally not."
"Yeah, I feel like people are on board with the whole thing. Funny stuff, right?" observed the plaid-laden buffoon in question.
"Never in my career have I read a piece of writing that I can honestly say is comparable to watching a cat slowly meow, but today, that changed." said Mrs. Corlett.
The reactions come as several teachers and students have openly expressed their dismay with the paper.
"I feel like if I can do class work and make people laugh, that's something really special," the gangly writer states with sentimentality.
"Honest to god, I feel like, after reading this article, that I just went down a water slide without water, and instead I just had to crawl down the slide until I got to the bottom," a disheartened grade 10 student says recounting their experience reading the piece.

Granite is the most selected materials of natural stones for faux beams for ceilings counter tops. Granite has a lot of colours and patterns that are radically beautiful. Moreover, it's able to be shaped in almost any dimensions. For you who want to deliver a contemporary look to your ceiling, granite ceiling countertops are the ideal choice to pick.
Bathroom countertops and sinks are the most essential furnitures to get on your faux beams for ceilings. The substances that are used to earn ceiling sinks and countertops are various. Mostly, materials which are resistant to humidity and wetness for example natural marble and stones are the most preferable material selected for ceiling sinks and countertops. However, these materials are rather expensive.
Redecorating your faux beams for ceilings is significant and it doesn't need to get complicated. One means to do it is by simply changing the color of their ceiling wall. Before doing this, you may see the ceiling wall colour thoughts here. Hopefully, one of them can be your very best reference.

For Immediate Release:
New York NY, December 14, 2011
Production/Songwriting duo, Lady And A Tramp, celebrate the release of Hip Hop Icon's, Naughty by Nature's new album, ANTHEM INC. A collection of 13 new offerings, anchored by 20th Anniversary versions of some of their crowd pleasing hip hop classics.
This is the East Orange crew's sixth album since forming in 1988. Marrying their street edge with pop hooks, the group scored Top 10 hits with "O.P.P" and "Hip-Hop Hooray". ANTHEM INC. is the first album featuring all three original members since their 1999 release, NINETEEN NAUGHTY NINE: NATURE'S FURY.
Serving as Associate Executive Producer, Lady And A Tramp produced and/or co-wrote on all 12 of the albums songs along with the grammy award winning trio.
"Getting Naughty is the nicest way to spread love this holiday season. It's an honor to create with such a talented group, on a album that is sure to touch the hearts and minds of many", says Marcella Precise.
"It's a blessing to work with an act that hasn't has an album in the market for almost a decade, but have remained consistent through their touring schedule since 1991", says Lady And A Tramp's Terence "Tramp-Baby" Abney. "Even without a record out they've been clearing 100+ shows a year for the last decade, Now that's staying power!"
This musical stocking stuffer is just as perfect as "Perfect Party" featuring R&B singer Joe. It's packed with thought provoking anthems that are sure to be remembered such as "Name Game (Remember)" featuring actress/singer Kate Nauta (best known for her show stopping role in Transporter 2), fun Naughty energy on "Doozit" featuring R&B singer Syleena Johnson and their New Jersey family, your royal highness herself, Queen Latifah featured on "God Is Us".

The picturesque Pitlochry-based distillery lies close to Edradour and is unconnected with the simarly spelt town, Blair Atholl. The water tumbles down the 841m peak, Ben Vrackie and into the 2.5million litres the distillery produces annually. The distillery was founded under the name Aldour in 1778, by Robert Robertson. In 1825, he expanded and renamed the facilities Blair Athol. The distillery has had a long association with Bell's Blended Scotch - their roots were entwined as far back as the mid nineteenth century. Blair Athol changed hands several times during the 1800s and eventually closed in 1932. A year later the distillery was acquired by Arthur Bell and Sons and today as much as 95% of the outturn is bourbon-matured and used in Bell's blended products. The whisky boasts a swift maturation and the remaining five or so percent of spirit is aged in sherry casks and sold as single malt, mostly by independent bottlers. Following the Guinness Group's acquisition of Arthur Bell and Sons and the subsequent affiliation with United Distillers, Diageo are now the current owners of Blair Athol. Thus, the malt is now lorried in from Diageo's central Roseisle maltings. In 1987, a visitor centre was installed and now the well-groomed distillery enjoys in excess of 30,000 visitors annually.

Ah, the month of February not quite spring not really winter. It's a nice little weather change. But besides the weather February also means Valentines Day. So bring on the lace and nice delicates it's going to be a romantic month. I made a mood board for you guys to see what will be on my mind for the month of February.
- Cozy Knits: because it's still a bit chilly out and besides how cute are sweaters and turtlenecks over lacy bras.
- Lacy Bras/Bralettes: I love to walk around in these it makes me feel sexy, plus it is the month of lace isn't it?
- Ed Sheeran: Come on the man is an angel in disguise. His music is so catchy and cute all his songs make we want to fall in love (with him). I can't help but listen to it all day long.
- Nude Lippies: There's nothing more natural than a nude lippie. Forget about the bright pink lippies for Spring it's time for nude!
I hope you guys like it and that it also inspires you!
xoxo, Andie

Are you nervous about your next trip? It can seem like a hassle, but it doesn't have to. You will find some great information in the article below that will help keep stress at bay during all your trips.
Plan for such small comforts as an aisle seat, a quiet room or other little things that make you trip better. A window seat has a view, but a seat at the aisle allows you more freedom in accessing your overhead bags, restrooms, getting attention of the service staff, and free space on one side of you.
Avoid foods that may contain something you're allergic to hiding in a dish. If you have food allergies that tend to be severe, it is important for you to learn terminology for words pertaining to foods and their preparation so that you can prevent an allergic reaction. This will help you ask locals about foods you want to avoid. Also, if the worst happens, you'll be able to tell a doctor about your allergies.
Make your travel arrangements way ahead of your trip. All of the things that can be purchased on a trip share one thing in common, and that is that they cost less when purchased in advance. You can avoid excessive expenditures during travel by planning properly.
When you go overseas, be careful of the taxis you take. Make sure any taxi you get into is legitimate. Sometimes, people will try to defraud you with their credentials.
Do your research before you book. Seek websites that offer actual traveler reviews of your desired destinations. Try asking people you know that have traveled there. Doing a little homework will let you know what you can expect, and can help you make smart choices on activities and places to visit at your destination.
When traveling with a toddler, you have to bring along things that will keep him interested and happy during the trip. Bring a lot of toys to avoid stress and hassle. You may want to consider buying a new toy or two as well, so that they have something exciting to occupy their time.
When traveling far, you sometimes feel like taking a part of home on the trip with you. To make sure you aren't taking too many things from home, only take what is absolutely necessary and that includes toiletries. Make a short list of toiletries you use daily and are truly needed. Pack only the essentials.
Put your personal ID info inside your bags. Outside tags are easily ripped off. If that happens, the identification inside the luggage will help ensure that you get your things back.
You will pay more money for these projects that do not save you as much space as you think. Try to be more efficient in how you pack instead. These minimizing tricks will allow you to pack more in a smaller space.
Now that you know a thing or two about travel, you can see it can be easy. Just apply these tips as needed, and your trip will be easy. Just get up and go!

Introduction: Reclaimed Wood Canoe Paddle Hat Rack
This Instructable will show how to reclaim an old and tired wood canoe paddle and re-purpose it into a beautiful piece of home decor. An amazing Wood Canoe Paddle Hat Rack.
Please vote RECLAIMED WOOD contest.
Purchased 4 paddles at a garage sale for $1 each. The varnish finish was pretty much gone, and a couple paddles were cracked, but I figured I could get some use from them.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- The paddle is just a standard wood paddle. When I first got the paddles there was some mold and mildew starting to take them over from being stored in a damp place, so I hit them with some anti mold and mildew solution and a little sandpaper.
- Propane Torch: Used to slightly burn the surface of the paddle to give it an older antique look.
- Wood Burning Iron: used to personalize the paddle
- Sandpaper: Use a 150-200 grit paper to sand out the torch marks.
- Tack Cloth: Use to get the sanding dust off before finish coating.
- Polycrylic Protective Finish: Clear satin finish coat.
- Decorative Hooks
Step 2: Torch the Wood
- Torch your wood paddle by running the torch past the wood creating a random pattern that appeals to you.
- For a lighter effect, keep the torch 4-6 inches away from the wood.
- For a darker effect, 2-4 inches away from wood.
- Don't let the paddle catch fire! You just want to scorch the wood to give it some aged character.
- Use a 150-200 grit sandpaper to soften the torch patches.
- Repeat the process with torch and sand paper as you desire until you get the style you want.
- Give the entire paddle a good sanding.
- Use a combination of air compressor and tack cloth to remove sanding dust.
Step 3: Personalize the Hat Rack
Plan your hook placement with any wood burned artwork.
If you have a wood burning iron handy, now would be a good time to personalize your paddle. I've pixelated our family name from the image. See the top right where there is space for any wood burned artwork.
Step 4: Finish Coat
Use your favorite stain and/or clear coat on the paddle to give the finish you desire. After torching and scorching, I thought a satin clear coat would be just fine.
I applied 4 coats to this paddle, as I am still not sure if it will be used indoors or outdoors.
Step 5: Add Your Hooks
Found these hooks on Ebay maybe 10 years ago and had a few laying around. Needed more to do a paddle for a friend. They were hard to find, but finally found them at a Menard's about an hour from my home.
Step 6: Complete!
Now just need to figure out where to mount it.
Strong enough to hold a 7 year old boy! Ha Ha!

A Trip Through Strawberry Fields
Monday, December 5, 2011
In early 1967, the Beatles released a groundbreaking single — John Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever" backed by Paul McCartney's "Penny Lane." In its music, lyrics, arrangement, and subject matter, "Strawberry Fields Forever"/"Penny Lane" was a large step forward for the Beatles and for all of popular music.
In "A Trip Through Strawberry Fields",producer and composer Scott Freiman explores the creation of these two masterpieces with special attention to the evolution of the songs from demos to final recordings, including rare audio and video clips from the studio sessions. The presentation also includes an in-depth look at Sgt. Pepper's "A Day In The Life" — one of the Beatles' most remarkable achievements. This revelatory, 90-minute journey into a classic is one of several in Freiman's "Deconstructing the Beatles" lecture series.
"As a composer and producer, I have always been fascinated by the Beatles innovations in songwriting and recording," said Freiman. "It is truly exciting to listen to songs we know so well evolve from a home demo to a finished recording. There's a reason why the Beatles' music continues to strike a chord with new generations of fans, 40 years after their last recording."
Scott Freiman combines his knowledge of The Beatles with a career as a composer, producer and educator. His original music has been featured in award-winning films and performed at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Freiman is the owner of Second Act Studio, a state-of-the-art music and video studio for composition, recording and production. More information about his Beatles Lectures is available at www.beatleslectures.com.

Last week I wondered why we had to meet Bubbie at all given her short stay and lack of audible lines, but this week I learned that we met her so that Nancy could kill her so that Lenny could extort money from Nancy putting Nancy in even more dramatic jeopardy. Cool, now we are getting somewhere!
The first three weeks made me feel like I was under the influence of Silas' killer product because the story arc seemed to be moving sooo verrry slooowly. But this week's episode, "The Three Coolers," towed the stories into another gear much like the truck that towed Andy's van (with Silas's killer product growing inside) for parking without a permit in front of Bubbie's house. I mean, Lenny's house. (RIP Bubbie.)
So, the Botwins, ever the classy bunch, observed seven days of shiva in remembrance of Bubbie. Nancy and the kids spent more time sitting honoring Bubbie's timely death by Tempur-Pedic pillow than they have collectively spent in Bubbie's presence over their life times.
Lenny, with no signs of proof to the other Botwins or the viewing audience, stakes claim as the sole beneficiary of Bubbie's belongings. It seems the only good Bubbie is a dead Bubbie.
Upon learning of the death — good news travels fast in the real estate business — several real estate agents come by to offer their respects and business cards. One actually sits shiva hoping to get the upper hand on repping the property. But a man's upper hand is not what Lenny is interested in, and Lenny chooses an exceptionally endowed blonde female agent (not because blondes have more fun but because exceptionally endowed ones have better assets to negotiate closing costs.)
Also during shiva, Doug from Majestic accepts Andy's invitation to move in. Turns out that Doug's running from the Majestic city council, a group whose finances he pretty much bitch slapped all the way into another zip code.
Seeing Doug more regularly will make me happy. When I see Doug I just start giggling. (I know, kill me.) Now, just get me Conrad, Heylia and more Isabelle and I'm good!
Anyway, after shiva ends with an actual count down like it's New Years Eve (the Botwin's sincerity just charms, doesn't it?) Lenny hops up and announces that he's selling the house and that Nancy and her un-invitedness needs to figure out whose home, motel or homeless shelter she can invite herself next. Lenny wants a couple of million for the house but the housing market is in shambles. Hmm, what to do?
Nancy leaves to meet with Guillermo and is presented with the choice of opening two coolers. (Why the episode is called three coolers has been lost on me. Help!) Nancy chooses and learns that she has to go and wait in the desert to be contacted by someone smuggling in product from Mexico. Included in the cooler were a gun, a juice box and the mapped location. She checks the other cooler and it was the same thing except for the juice box. That Guillermo is so knee-slapping funny, no?
Back at the Casa de Murder, Lenny enlists Shane to help him look into all of Bubbie's things in search of the hidden-in-the-home savings account in which many elderly people deposit their cash around their own houses rather than the bank. Shane strikes pay dirt high atop a shelf. Fifteen grand in cash! Woot!
Lenny's thrilled but Shane becomes suspicious as to how Bubbie climbed all the way up the side of a cabinet to hide money and why some of the bills had 2007 print dates since Bubbie has been bedridden since 2006.
Outside of Bubbie's house Andy, Doug and Silas hang out in Andy's make shift grow van that Silas set up to cultivate his passion. Doug and Andy get higher than the Himalayas (what else is new?) They are amazed by what they're smoking. Seems like Silas has a future in botany. Who says college is a must for the sciences?
Nancy swings by the grow van and gets Andy to agree to drive with her on her mission in the desert. It sucks when your only choice for back up is Andy Botwin.
Lenny grills Shane trying to find out what illegal activity Nancy is involved in. He assumes she's a prostitute. That silly Lenny — tricks are for kids! After watching Doug drift in and out of the refrigerator several times looking for munchies Lenny clues in as to what Nancy's business commodity is. Lenny is amused.
Out in the desert at the Mexican border Nancy and Andy wait for whoever is dropping off the goods. The Mexican police light up her car and Nancy climbs into Andy's lap and begins to totally make out with him so the police think they're there to, well, make out. (Do grown people still drive to secluded places to make out?)
Of course, the Mexican police leave a slew of duffel bags full of pot next to Nancy's little Prius. She manages to shove it all in the car but has no room to take Andy back with her. She tells him to wait and that she'll be back to get him.
In Ren Mar, Andy's van gets towed and Silas goes to pick it up from impound. The tow yard guys discovered what was in the back of the van and compliment Silas on his miracle product and asked for a few ounces in exchange for not telling the police that they have towed the van. So where is Silas' green thumb going to take the story, hmm?
Andy waits in the desert for longer than Nancy's 45 minute promise then he sees a group of illegal immigrants walk past him on their way to meet up with a coyote to take them to Iowa. Andy leaves with them, leaving the cooler behind. This can't be good.
Since Lenny can't get the price he wants for the beach property he packs his things to head to Europe and tells Shane that he's taking the $15,000 and demands that Nancy deposit $10,000 on the first of the month each month into one of his poker playing accounts. Bye Lenny, can't say it's been nice but it has at times been funny.
Finally, Nancy arrives at Guillermo's and as she collects her payment for the delivery, some gang members stumble through the door dragging Celia inside with their guns drawn on her. They found her staking out the place. Nancy stares at Celia speechless. Alleluia! At last, Nancy and Celia together again. Thank the TV goddesses!
Celia is so in love with Nancy, or am I making that up? Is Lenny really the beneficiary of everything or could it be Andy? Can Nancy get out of the work with Guillermo and go back to supplying her own product through Silas? Will Celia end up being friend or foe? I'm hoping friend, but foe is more fun.

I'm really enjoying this Jamie Oliver "Food Revolution" show on ABC. His shows in the UK have actually had a pretty meaningful impact on school food programs. However, the fact that the show was being sponsored locally by Pizza Hut is disturbing on many levels :)
The menu of this school in West Virginia is almost spot on with local school menus. People often grumble about the cost "eating healthy" and this show is highlighting our battle with the Federal food subsidy programs. Note that less than half of 1 percent of Federal subsidies go to the production of vegetables and fruits while 74% of subsidies go to the meat/dairy industries. Is it any wonder that a salad costs more than a Big Mac?
* In a related story - nanny state warns you to keep your kid from biking to school - "So you get this very circular argument where parents say, 'I can't let my kid walk or bike to school because of all the traffic.' But they're the ones creating the traffic."
* Seriously, you can't make this stuff up - US Customs and Border Patrol proposes a new $8 million border crossing facility at Forest City, Maine. Population: 5 - Though the population Forest City does swell to 25-30 in the summer!!!
"Collins cited statistics pointing out that fewer than five vehicles cross through the port each day, along with "extremely minimal truck traffic."
Johnson doubted that the port sees even that much traffic.
"Sometimes you see only two cars go through there a day, and other times there are no vehicles coming through here at all," she said. "We are talking about a port that is only open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is closed on Sundays and holidays. Most of the time the residents are the only people to use the port."
* Just to clarify - the Cold War is over, right? Russian firm to bid on US Air Force Tanker Program.
In another twist to the ongoing saga to replace the Air Force's aging fleet of aerial refueling tankers, United Aircraft Corp. of Russia is planning to bid on the $40 billion contract, according to a person familiar with its plans.
United Aircraft, an aerospace consortium owned by the Russian government, will seek to offer a tanker version of its Ilyushin Il-96 wide-body jetliner, dubbed the Il-98, this person said. The planes would be largely built in Russia, and assembled in the U.S., this person says.
Finally, a little bonus picture for my mom who just loves giant moths....

Hi everyone!
I am so sorry it has been so long since I have posted but things in the LeCompte household have been a whirlwind! Back in May we made the decision to start homeschooling and I have been running around like a mad woman ever since! I think we have finally fallen into a good rhythm so hopefully the crazy will calm down a bit!
I have always wanted to home school my kids but felt much too intimated with having that great of a responsibility. My whole life I have been the brunt of jokes mocking my troubles with math so my short comings were ringing loud in my ears! But you know what? I am stubborn and when I set my mind to something BY GOLLY I do it! And well! 😎
The process to begin homeschooling is fairly easy in Maryland. All we needed to do was fill out a form and send it to the Board of Education and wait 2 weeks. Once the two weeks were up we were good to go! Two times a year I will have a review with a Board of Ed official to make sure I am teaching the required 8 subjects. I feel very blessed that this is all we are required to do. Some states have ridiculous regulations and still require home schooled kids to do standardized testing!
Next came the daunting adventure of choosing curriculum. I looked at some boxed curriculum but was not impressed with the content or the price tag. I was working with an exceptionally small budget so I needed to find the most bang for my buck. I found two programs that I really loved and decided to do them both. One is a computer based modern curriculum, the other is a classical style literature based curriculum. Both have pros and cons but paired together I think they'll give my guys a well-rounded education!
Holding some of their first term books
We have also chosen to go the year round route. Spreading the curriculum over 46 weeks lightens the workload a bit and will hopefully keep their brains sharp all year!
We are finishing up our second week using both curriculum together and I could not be more proud with how both boys have risen to the challenge. They have a rigorous workload but are conquering it and enjoying it even more than I was expecting them too!
I think the most fulfilling part of this whole process is the education I am giving myself! I make a point to do all their lessons before they do and I have learned so much that I either never learned in school or have forgotten by now. I have also been inspired to learn all the math I had trouble with so I am using Khan Academy to tutor myself. Better late than never right? 🤣Our literature based curriculum has exposed me to classics I have never heard of and inspired me to read ones that I thought would not interest me. Beginning this journey has been a blessing to all of us, including Carson who loves to do his 'school' while sitting next to his brothers.
Again I have to say how thankful I am to be able to stay home with my kids and now to have the awesome responsibility of homeschooling them.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! See ya soon!

Monthly Archives: October 2014
Rewrite VN – Shizuru route (spoilers!)
After Kotori and Chihaya, it is time for the shortest heroine route – Shizuru. Shortest, because Shizuru is the smallest of the girls, and because the route has the least lines.
Rewrite VN – Chihaya route (spoilers!)
After finishing Kotori's route, I immediately moved on to the next heroine. Her name is Chihaya Ohtori.
Fall 2014: Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken is a funny anime. I just wish it was as long as its name. It is very difficult to show anything worthwhile in three and half minutes, 30 seconds out of which is the ending.
Fall 2014: Psycho-Pass 2
Here is the anime that I was probably looking forward to the most. That's how good the first season of Psycho-Pass was. Of course I will be hoping to see more of the same this fall, and this episode should be proof of that.
Fall 2014: Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle
This season truly is the "season of sequels". There's Log Horizon 2, Psycho-Pass 2, Selector Spread WIXOSS, Mushishi Zoku Shou 2 etc. There's also the second season of Hitsugi no Chaika, which I am planning to watch. I only recently finished the first one, and was eager to see more.
Rewrite VN – Kotori route (spoilers!)
Rewrite – the latest visual novel created by Key, my favourite visual novel production studio. I've been meaning to try it out for a very long time now, but never got the chance. After finding out about Little Busters! and completing it, a special place was formed in my heart. A place reserved specifically for visual novels like this. Like Little Busters! and Rewrite.
Fall 2014: Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
With Fate/stay night, I made my first venture into Type-Moon anime. Because I've been playing the visual novel of Fate/stay night for a year now, I've also made sure to avoid anything related to series like Fate/Zero and Fate/kaleid. I even planned to see the original anime adaptation of the visual novel after finishing the game. As it took me longer than I expected – here I am, watching the remake instead of the controversial first adaptation.
Fall 2014: Log Horizon 2
When Log Horizon first started airing, I watched one episode and put it away. I really wasn't planning to watch it. "It just isn't my thing", I thought. One day, a few months after the anime finished airing, I suddenly felt like giving it another go. From then, I found one of my favourite anime series.
Fall 2014: Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis
The name – Shingeki no Bahamut – really made me think this would be great. I was almost sure of it. At least it couldn't be bad, I thought. Now, I've finally seen the first episode of the anime and would like to tell what I think.

BOC Healthcare offers the following services for our patients in the home:
Oxygen therapy
Ventilation therapy
Aerosol therapy
How does home oxygen therapy work?
Home oxygen is often prescribed for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This is a lung condition that is common among older adults and covers conditions including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Low oxygen levels in the body can also be caused by pulmonary embolism, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, chronic asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea and some cancers.
Extensive studies in the past decades have shown that people with low levels of oxygen in their blood benefit from receiving oxygen therapy at least 16 hours a day. Home oxygen therapy can help those with confirmed low blood oxygen by providing enough oxygen to vital organs. This, in turn, enables the patient to live longer.
What type of home oxygen equipment is available?
BOC Healthcare offers all the equipment commonly used for oxygen therapy, ventilation therapy and aerosol therapy. We use equipment supplied by the leading global manufacturers and provide patient education and support in their use.
The most common type of oxygen therapy equipment is the oxygen concentrator, which concentrates oxygen by filtering the nitrogen out of the air. An oxygen concentrator can be a stationary device that uses electricity and includes a long tube that allows the patient to move freely around the home. Another type of oxygen equipment is the portable oxygen concentrator, which is lighter and allows the patient to leave the home and even travel.
People who have been prescribed long-term oxygen therapy may also need medical oxygen cylinders as backup for their concentrator. The large, freestanding cylinders are designed for home use, whereas the lighter, portable cylinders can be carried in a backpack or attached to a wheelchair or walker.
With any questions on how BOC healthcare can help with your oxygen therapy, please contact our friendly Customer Support Centre at 0800 100 949 or email us at email@example.com.

West Texas is a desert. It is dry and barren and just today we suffered through a terrible dust storm all day long. When I dream about a new flower bed in our front yard, in my mind I toss around the idea of cactus and yuccas. So you take a guy from this geography and plop him in the backwoods of the Ozarks, and you have the making of a pretty comical reality show on your hands.
Because I genuinely love North Franklin County so much, my dream is to have a second home there even if we only get to go a handful of times a year. I had been homesick something fierce a few weeks ago and told Cash about this dream. He saw the pain I was enduring and assured me one day we'd consider it.
The next day I found out a cabin close to my parents' was up for sale. I could not contain my excitement and did not sleep a wink that night. The next day I called the owner and set up for us to go look at this cabin when we were there last weekend.
So we did. The view was stunning. I love trees and water and mountains. Currently I live around none of these, but this cabin has it all.
The day I found out it was for sale, I would've written a check. But Cash thought if we were going to entertain this idea then we needed to look at other cabins too. He found one on a road called Cat Holler. Note to self: if something is deep in the holler, maybe that's the first sign it isn't the place for my desert dweller.
Before dinner we drove over to Cat Holler and started down the road. We came to a creek. Now it had been raining for several days, and even though I had grown up in the area I had never been on this road. I didn't know if the creek was high, and Cash certainly didnt have experience fording a river. I also should say I get super psyched out about driving through water as my best friend in college died doing such. So it was another early sign that maybe our hearts couldn't get on board with this cabin.
At that time we decided to just go to dinner. We were meeting my sister and her family for dinner at the new Stockyard Feed & Grain Restaurant at County Line, so we just turned around and headed that way. At dinner my brother-in-law started getting curious about this "river crossing" and cabin up in Cat Holler. He decided he could guide us. So off we went back to Cat Holler with an army in tow.
Once we got to the creek crossing, I thought my brother-in-law was going to lose it. It was absolutely laughable to him that his West Texas brother-in-law was scared of a little stream.
|What do you think? Major waterway or shallow creek?
He was super friendly and told us we had about 4 more creek crossings before we got to the cabin we were looking for. My brother-in-law concluded we had come this far and should just try to find the place. So we kept going and came to a fork in the road. We chose our route and plunged full steam ahead.
A minute or two later we passed a cabin on the left and a clothesline on the right. I thought it was odd that the road just split his front yard like that. It was maybe about this time we heard banjos in the distance and thought we should turn around.
In rain and the dark and soft ground on top of a hill Cash made an Austin Powers maneuver and finally got us turned around. We came back up to the cabin/clothesline and the closer we got the more we realized the owner was standing in the road, beer in hand, waiting for us.
A few F bombs later, he finally caught his breath and asked what we were doing on his property. We tried to explain we were looking for a cabin for sale. Once he calmed down, he told us we were only halfway (HALFWAY!!!) there. Then he looked at Cash's Titan and said, "And I dont know if you can make it up there in this thing." Ouch.
We apologized immensely. Look, I get it. It's dark on a Friday night and a random out of state truck just barged through his front yard. And considering this cabin is for sale no telling how many times that has happened lately. Luckily, we got out of there but decided that even if it was the most perfect cabin in a whole world of cabins that it most definitely wasn't the cabin for us.
The next day we headed out for Turkey Camp in the snow and freezing rain. What?! It was so stinking cold, but it was all worth it when we cozied up next to the fire and ate that famous camp breakfast.

After a weekend at camp it was time to head back to Tejas. This was my last week before I officially start my new gig as the Children and Women's Ministry Coordinator at our local Anglican parish. I also serve on the board at our local Boys & Girls Club, and our 2nd annual gala was this week. Between wrapping up silent auction donations for the gala and trying to find a sitter for staff meetings, this week flew by.

|Getting in all my cuddles
|And all those giggles

Sunday brings about so many changes for our family. I have worried about our kids as I begin a part-time job, but I also worry about myself. I've never had to leave them. I've stayed home even before Henry was born, and in my heart I never thought I'd go back to work. But this opportunity came up and felt like the perfect thing at the perfect time. So here's to new beginnings...and hoping that this new path doesn't lead us to a cabin and a clothesline somewhere deep down in Cat Holler.
Be blessed,

- Which diets with low copper do you recommend for dogs with chronic hepatitis?
I recommend Royal Canin Veterinary Diet® Canine Hepatic™, Hill's Prescription Diet® l/d®, or homemade diets. I believe all other commercial diets contain too much copper for dogs with chronic hepatitis.
- What is the primary cause for copper deposition in the liver? Is it diet related?
In some dogs the cause is genetic, such as the Bedlington terrier, Dobermans, and Dalmatians. A recent study shows that Labradors likely have genetic aspects and then when fed a high-copper diets they accumulate copper. Following chelation, these dogs are maintained on low-copper diets. Other breeds and mixed breeds also accumulate copper and diet plays a significant role. We don't know why some can handle it and others can't.
- When administering maropitant (Cerenia®) intravenously, should it be given slowly or does the rate matter?
Give slowly over a minute. We found that when Cerenia is administered as a rapid bolus dogs developed transient hypotension.
- Do you use Denamarin® for liver support?
Denamarin [S-adensosylmethionine (SAMe) and silybin] is a good product for liver support. I consider antioxidants such as vitamin E, milk thistle, or SAMe. Others can be used; however, I have limited experience with other liver antioxidants.
- Do all laboratories run copper levels on tissue or do you need a special lab?
Some diagnostic labs do their own copper analysis while others send them to other labs that do. Colorado State University does run liver copper analysis and some labs send their samples to us.
- Do you regularly give mirtazapine for cats with chronic renal disease every 48 hours?
A pharmacokinetic study by Quimby found that dosing every 24 hours maintains blood levels in normal cats but recommends dosing every 48 hours in cats with chronic renal or liver disease. (Quimby JM, Lunn KF. Mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant and anti-emetic in cats with chronic kidney disease: a masked placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial. Vet J. 2013;197(3):651-655)
- When do you give Cerenia if using it preoperatively, and at what dose?
In many of my cases I give preoperative Cerenia at 1 mg/kg 30 minutes or so before induction. We find it prevents narcotic-associated vomiting and nausea and also improves postoperative recovery and results in a more rapid return to normal appetite.
Sessions 3 and 4:Preemptive Sedation – Making the Fear Disappear/Sedation and Anesthesia Protocols: Individualized Medicine
Ralph C. Harvey, DVM, MS, DACVAA
University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
- How do you deal with clients that do not want to pay the extra cost of sedation for procedures like x-rays?
Dr. Harvey: Many clients and potential clients "shop around" for lower cost options. Most consumers desire "value" more than just lower costs. If and when our hospitals have the opportunity for conversation, clients will often embrace the added value that we can add by doing our best. They will agree to go with better options as we instruct them. Each practice in each demographic market must determine over time how they will choose to sustainably and profitably improve the standard of care in their hospital
- What is your favorite sedative for a dyspneic cat or dog?
Dr. Harvey: A sedative with relatively little respiratory depression is acepromazine. Vasodilatation and hypotension are commonly caused by acepromazine, and we generally have used less acepromazine as other options have become available and the science and experience have guided the evolution of our practice. Butorphanol causes limited respiratory depression, and a combination of acepromazine and butorphanol provides even more sedation. Dexmedetomidine at lower doses can also be useful.
- Do you give cats intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine? If so, at what dose?
Dr. Harvey: I do use dexmedetomidine by either intramuscular (IM) or IV administration, generally at reduced doses. My most typical dose of dexmedetomidine in cats is 5‒10 micrograms per kilogram. The FDA-approved dose is 40 micrograms per kilogram.
- I am a shelter vet looking for a good protocol for older cats when screening is not an option.
Dr. Harvey: I consulted my favorite shelter veterinarian, my wife. She uses the popular "TTD" cocktail (Telazol®/Torbugesic®/Dexdomitor®), followed by endotracheal intubation and isoflurane.
- I would love to get some guidance on trazodone use. Can it be given at home prior to a hospital visit for fearful or aggressive dogs? At what dose? When should it be given?
Dr. Harvey: Yes, and we use it at 5 mg/kg. Clients will administer it either in the morning or both the evening before and the morning of the visit before bringing the patient to the hospital. Aggressive animals should never be assumed to become "safe" after any medication. Indeed, any medicated animal may respond atypically, and there is always the potential for undesirable behavior.
- What anesthetic fluid rate would you recommend for cats with chronic kidney disease? Still 3 mL/kg?
Dr. Harvey: We would like to have these animals well hydrated before anesthesia rather than relying just on intraoperative fluids. Then we would still use fluid rates lower than were popular in recent years. I refer you to the AAHA Fluid Therapy Guidelines
- What is used for squirting in the mouth of cat for sedation? Will this work with aggressive dogs?
Dr. Harvey: One of our methods is to use a Luer-lock syringe with either an open-ended tomcat catheter or a needle as a device to squirt in the mouth of a hissing cat a mixture of ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and butorphanol. This synergistic combination is typically dosed at ketamine 2‒4 mg/kg, dexmedetomidine 10‒20 micrograms/kg, and butorphanol 0.2‒0.4 mg/kg for this oral route. It will work for some, but not all, aggressive dogs. Our favorite for aggressive dogs is a quick IM injection of Telazol at 4 mg/kg with butorphanol at 0.4 mg/kg. As always, please be careful out there!
- Can one use Simbadol™ (buprenorphine) and Onsior® (robenacoxib) together preoperatively followed by Onsior the next day?
Dr. Harvey: Yes, and that will provide a balanced combination of opioid and NSAID, further complemented for a surgical procedure through the use of a local/regional anesthetic block.
- In the anesthetic protocols you discussed with dexmedetomidine with opioid and 2 mg/kg ketamine, do you use atropine as a premed?
Dr. Harvey: No, we do not.
- Can you combine atropine with an opioid and dexmedetomidine at a 1 microgram/kg dose?
Dr. Harvey: We would avoid use of the atropine, and instead try to take advantage of the bradycardia. Many good things happen during diastole!
- What is the "reduced dosage" of dexmedetomidine for agitated patients postoperatively?
Dr. Harvey: We have been very pleased with the extra-label use of dexmedetomidine at 1 microgram/kg IV.
- What is the "Kitty Magic" cocktail?
Dr. Harvey: It is the popular and useful combination of ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and butorphanol. There is a nice synergistic interaction, with each of these providing complementary receptor actions. Typical rather arbitrary doses are 0.1 to 0.2 cc of each of these given as an IM injection for a large cat. For a 5 kg cat, the doses would then be ketamine at 2‒4 mg/kg, dexmedetomidine at 10‒20 micrograms/kg, and butorphanol at 0.2‒0.4 mg/kg. This will typically provide deep sedation/light anesthesia and can serve as a prelude to general anesthesia with a GABA agonist, such as propofol or alfaxalone, and/or an inhalant anesthetic.
- Are the protocols of the Veterinary Anesthesia Support Group (VASG) website acceptable?
Dr. Harvey: I can't give a blanket approval for anyone's collection of protocols or recommendations, not even my own without further discussion! Patients are never "uniform" and they all deserve individual consideration. But kudos to Dr. Bob Stein as founder and Executive Director of the VASG. It is a wonderful resource for us all. (http://www.vasg.org/)
- What about alfaxalone in an aggressive patient?
Dr. Harvey: I am not aware of a significant body of literature specifically on this, but as a component of a combination or cocktail approach, it can be useful as a GABA agonist contributing to useful sedation. As an example, alfaxalone has been reported to be very useful in combination with a mixture of an opioid and dexmedetomidine. With the drug concentration of 10 mg/mL and a typical conservative dose of 1‒2 mg/kg in such combinations, the volume is a limiting factor for IM injections in larger patients.
- What about using low dose dexmedetomidine for stable, low-grade heart murmur patients for sedation (for example, wound management)?
Dr. Harvey: The patient with an undefined heart murmur is a considerable unknown. Opioids are the mainstay of cardiac anesthesia and can be generally recommended. Alpha-2 agonists, including dexmedetomidine, are relatively contraindicated in dogs with valvular disease, myocardial infarction/tricuspid insufficiency, and ventricular dysfunction.
- What dose of dexmedetomidine do you use for sedation?
Dr. Harvey: A useful resource for dosing in dogs is the Dexdomitor Dosing Chart:
https://www.zoetisus.com/products/pages/dexdomitor/PDFs/Dexdomitor-Dosing-Chart-Canine.PDF. Dosing is scaled to body surface area in dogs, typically with smaller dogs needing a higher dose per unit of body weight and larger dogs needing a lower dose per unit of body weight. The listed FDA-approved doses are higher than we typically use, particularly since we almost always combine the Dexdomitor with an opioid. Our most frequently used doses are about ½ of the listed 125 micrograms/meter2 dose that is derived from the chart. The dose in cats is not scaled to body surface area, but is listed as 40 micrograms/kg. Our typical dose in cats is 5‒10 micrograms/kg.
- What dose of dexmedetomidine do you use for postsurgical delirium?
Dr. Harvey: The dose we use for postanesthetic delirium is 0.5 to 1.0 microgram/kg by IV injection. This is an off-label application that we find highly valuable and far better than our previous approach to delirium using acepromazine.
- What does of dexmedetomidine do you use as a premed?
Dr. Harvey: See comments above.
- Can you give dexmedetomidine postop to a dog that was given acepromazine in its premed?
Dr. Harvey: Yes.
- For healthy patients that are under anesthesia for 20 minutes or less, would you use a higher fluid rate?
Dr. Harvey: Not necessarily. Patients should be well hydrated before anesthesia and surgery, but it is possible—and not uncommon—for current fluid rates to be a bit too high. Please refer to the AAHA Fluid Therapy Guidelines and Toolkit: <https://www.aaha.org/professional/resources/fluid_therapy_toolkit.aspx>
- A feral cat wakes up from ovariohystectomy dysphoric and thrashing following induction with Telazol and dexmedetomidine (IM), hydromorphone IM at prep, and an NSAID. What can be used to calm the cat?
Dr. Harvey: There may be some important dosing data and other background unspecified in any hypothetical situation and therefore this question, but the first things to consider are keeping the situation safe for personnel and patient, quick determination of adequate pain management, and consideration of sedation with either acepromazine or dexmedetomidine. We work with many feral cats and they are often challenging patients.

Guitarist/singer/songwriter, touring one-man-band, runner-up in the 2008 International Blues Challenge, Ben Prestage finally gets his first UK release. Recorded in his home state of Florida, the 16 tracks of REAL MUSIC showcase Prestage's fine voice and his musicianship on a variety of instruments.
Born the grandson of a Mississippi sharecropper and great grandson of a vaudeville musician who toured with Al Jolson, Ben Prestage has been soaked in Blues tradition and Mississippi culture since birth. Growing up in the swamps of south central Florida, he began to mix Mississippi Country Blues with his own brand of Florida Swamp Blues. This Muddy-Waters-meets-back-water stew has led him to perform throughout America, at festivals, every kind of bar, and sometimes on downtown sidewalks.
Ben spent some time as a street performer on historic Beale Street in Memphis, where he shared a spot in front of the New Daisy Theatre with modern blues legends Robert Belfour and Richard Johnston. Being a street musician in the Blues 'capital' of the South threw Prestage's music in a new direction. He added a cigarbox guitar, giving him the facility to play bass and guitar strings independently. Then he added a series of foot pedals that can be manipulated by the heels and toes of both feet to play a drum kit.
Ben Prestage: Vocals, guitars, Dobro, Diddley-bow, foot drums
Mark Campbell: Tuba, jub
Bruce Johnson: Harmonica

Merikay Winter has enjoyed her creative side since grade school. She credits her grandmother, a lace-maker, and her pianist mother for guiding her to different expressions of her talent. She studied at Kendall School of Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but marriage and other responsibilities led her to put down her paintbrushes for years. She absorbed nature and art in museums and galleries around the globe, however, and as she began to feel a need to paint again started taking classes and workshops in watercolor.
Merikay's work is inspired by nature and her love of flowers. She spends summers near Lake Michigan and winters on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where she teaches art classes. You can reach Merikay at [email protected], and signed posters of her work are available at Art in the Park and on Holland Friends of Art's website.
The 47th year of Art in the Park will be held Saturday, August 6, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Holland's Centennial Park. Art in the Park is the main fundraising event for Holland Friends of Art, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing awareness of the creative talents in the greater Holland area.

If you're looking for a fun, delectable night out in Ottawa with friends, family or even co-workers, look no further than Ottawa Tasting Tours.
Coming up on its one-year anniversary, this local company opened last July to offer contemporary and fine dining culinary tours of Ottawa's historic ByWard Market neighbourhood. On one of these tours, you'll get to discover some of the best culinary gems downtown Ottawa has to offer.
According to Corey Henry, owner of Ottawa Tasting Tours, his idea for this new walking tour company came to him when he was on a getaway trip to Lake Placid, NY. In an interview with Ottawa Tourism, Henry said that while in Lake Placid, he and his girlfriend were looking for a unique culinary experience, but all they could find were pub crawls. "So we kind of had the idea to feature fine dining or contemporary food," Henry said. "We thought that Ottawa's ByWard Market would be the perfect spot for something like this."
He added that this particular Ottawa area is ideal, as the ByWard Market is walkable and is also home to many great restaurants. "We thought that the ByWard Market would be a great place to start with the eclectic culture and all of the great restaurants that are around," he said.
Henry noted that what Ottawa Tasting Tours offers is a "progressive dinner" experience, meaning that tour participants get to experience a four-course meal that is split amongst four different restaurants. "Each course is served at a different location and it's paired with a three-ounce glass of wine," Henry said. He added that at each location, guests learn about food and wine pairing as well as about the restaurant's history. Henry said further that the ByWard Market tour also focuses on local Ottawa restaurants that can't be found anywhere else.
According to Henry, what makes Ottawa Tasting Tours unique is that the experience focuses on higher quality restaurants and higher quality food. "It's not your average deep fried chicken wings or pickles or something like that," he said.
On my personal Ottawa Tasting Tours experience – among other stops – we went to Must Kitchen & Wine Bar on William Street. Here, we enjoyed wine paired with a delicious warm fig, goat cheese, prosciutto and balsamic glaze creation. You should definitely try it for yourself!
"It's a little higher end," said Henry of the food offered on the tour. Also, Henry noted, as the tour makes its way from one location to another, guests learn about the history of the ByWard Market itself; one of the oldest and one of the largest farmers' markets in Canada. Along the way, interesting buildings and landmarks are pointed out.
Currently, the two to three-hour Ottawa Tasting Tours experience is available in the ByWard Market neighbourhood year-round. But in the interview, Henry noted that the company has plans to expand its walking tour offerings. He told Ottawa Tourism that a cultural culinary tour as well as a multi-neighbourhood tour are in the works. "It's kind of a new idea that we're playing around with because there are so many different cultures in Ottawa," he said, adding the company is also looking to organize a tour along Preston Street in Ottawa's Little Italy neighbourhood.
In one year, Henry said, the small local business has doubled its sales in the year's first few months and it continues to grow "slowly but steadily." "We do a lot of bachelorettes and we're trying to focus on some corporate events as well," Henry said.

Getting a victim off drugs is not basic. For this reason, you got to get the victim to attend a reputable and good drug rehabilitation retreat and center. Much as the druggie or family members desire them get off the addiction, she or he cannot assist it. This is why the help of professionals which is just obtainable at rehab centers is needed.

David Chivers: Thank you, Chairman, and the rest of you. I'm unsure where to start. I haven't been conserving chimpanzees in Southeast Asia for 40 years. I never ever studied chimpanzees and I never wish to. The gibbons and orangutans of Southeast Asia are all one could expect. I've constantly, for 40 years, given that I began, under the supervision of the chairman.I've constantly desired to secure environment. However we have actually stopped working. It's not down to us as much as federal governments and the infrastructure in nations. Indonesia has a terrific network of national forests. However they're not handled effectively, they're not protected effectively. And the orangutan population, like that of numerous other animals offered in some locations– they're smaller sized and more flexible and more able to endure. The orangutan really remains in huge trouble.
Second, would you choose to remain in an all-men or all-women environment or would you rather the sober living house have coed arrangements? Some individuals prefer to remain in a single-sex sober living environment to avoid the interruptions of the opposite sex. Some think that it can quicken the progress by having to be on your finest all the time. Everything depends upon you and exactly what you believe will be best for your fast recovery.

With the time he invested in jail and the safe drug inpatient rehabilitation centers, Dwight Gooden invested an overall of 7 months in prison before leaving a complimentary guy. He was sentenced to a total sentence of one year and one day.

Atrioventricular bundle members were the very first to notice it. Minor lapses in memory, careless playing, coming late to the task. Charlie assured them it was simply a couple of shots to relax, not to stress. However his bass playing got even worse, and his relationship with the men in the band degraded. There were arguments, pledges and apologies – but nothing got dealt with. Charlie consumed afternoons, nights and through to dawn. When his mates recommended an alcohol and inpatient drug rehab program to assist with his obvious alcoholic abuse, Charlie laughed it off, insisting there was no need for anything so major.
Inpatient Alcohol Rehab In Baltimore Maryland 21223
inpatient rehab is a really beneficial approach to treat the addicted. However, numerous individuals do not manage entering into a clinic and spending weeks perhaps even months there. It is too costly, and it takes a great deal of time off. The service for these patients is to take up outpatient rehab. The outpatient rehabilitation can provide exceptional outcomes as well if done seriously.
Programs like Narcotics Anonymous were produced to assist people in kicking their drug habits. You should discover Narcotics Confidential programs throughout your community if you think that a program like this that takes a twelve step approach will work. These programs are totally free, and with the assistance of your peers, you'll ideally be able to overcome your drug routine and remain sober.
To Finish
Everyone has his/her own individual rock bottom, and, sadly, often that bottom IS the intense pits of hell. Pray they decide to connect and touch faith by discovering their own individual Jesus before they hit that everlasting bottom. He will provide them peace, peacefulness, hope and strength to sustain lasting healing. You can count of it!

There are meals that would go as well with beer as with a good wine. The cello sonatas of Georges Onslow (1784–1853) are such a meal. With an aged South Styrian Chardonnay they are fine art; with a Dogfish Head brew, they turn into humming entertainment. …I can't get enough of [Onslow's] quality, light brand of music, especially when I need a break from the severity of Beethoven. Maria Kliegel has shown on many Naxos recordings that she is a fearfully underrated cellist, milking Onslow for all he's worth; the pianist milks her part for at least some. © 2015 Listen: Life with Classical Music
…Naxos really lucked out here with a pair of performers who seem to take an evident delight in playing these works…[Kliegel and Tichman] seem to really enjoy and understand this music, and their finely nuanced and often energetic interpretations make a really great case for it.
Kliegel and Tichman find exactly the right mood for each work, and you the listener are taken along for a very enjoyable ride. I cannot praise this disc highly enough. These are great works, and a fine addition to the repertoire of virtually any performing cellist or pianist who engages in chamber music. © 2013 Fanfare Read complete review
It is good to hear Maria Kliegel again. Her warm sound is a pleasure…[Kliegel and Tichmann] enjoy themselves with this expansive yet classically phrased music. Altogether, it is a worthwhile project well handled by all, including the engineers. © 2013 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide
These elegantly crafted Sonatas from 1820 combine some of the thematic rigour of Beethoven with the ornate virtuosity of Weber. These are strongly committed and highly expressive performances. © 2013 BBC Music Magazine
German cellist Maria Kliegel and pianist Nina Tichman recorded these three companion works…with a combination of strength and grace that seems to be what is necessary to give this essentially poised, Classically-shaped, aristocratic music interest.
…it is beautiful and written with a high degree of craft. © 2013 Musical Toronto Read complete review
The three cello sonatas on offer here show a sure-handed mastery of cello idiom (Onslow played the instrument) and a facility for composition that gives equal voice and musical interest to both cello and piano…these are substantial works as demanding technically to the performer as they are immediately attractive to the ear of the listener.
…all of this is realized by two very competent and obviously devoted performers, cellist Maria Kliegel and pianist Nina Tichman, who work together in stylistic accord and with just enough individual interpretive freedom to ensure a lively interactive dynamic. © ClassicsToday.com Read complete review
Descended from an aristocratic English family who, to escape a scandal, had settled in France, Georges Onslow lived at much the same time as Beethoven. His father's marriage into a wealthy French family, together with the eventual inheritance of estates in England, left the young Georges in such a privileged position that he could have become a dilettante composer. But he was to seek the best possible musical education, his mentors including Anton Reicha and Franz Dussek, and in later life succeeded Cherubini at the head of the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris. Maybe his wealth did bring honours that were bestowed on him, his prolific output including four operas, though posterity will remember him as outstanding in the field of chamber music. He was influenced by Beethoven, who was his elder by fourteen years, as is evident from this group of three sonatas published in 1820, the solo instrument being described as 'cello or violin'. Structurally they show a musician of excellent academic training, while melodically they are readily engaging. They also follow Beethoven in emancipating the piano from its purely accompanying role, Onslow often offering the keyboard the thematic material around which the cello can spin a web of charming sound. So why are they so seldom heard? I suppose that, compared with the great composers of the time, Onslow never quite produced those melodies that you simply cannot forget. Certainly Maria Kliegel and Nina Tichman give pleasing performances that would commend the disc, stoking-up plenty of impact when Onslow allows, and showing a spotless technique. Very well balanced sound. © David's Review Corner
These are very romantic accounts of the sonatas. Nina Tichman is an excellent pianist and consistently a pleasure to hear; the recorded sound is faultless…All told, this is a first class production which sheds light on music I am very glad to have in my collection. © 2013 MusicWeb International Read complete review

I seem to have had one gynae problem or other for years and was told that I have endometriosis about 8 years ago when the surgeon who was taking out my appendix at the time found it all over that area. Interestingly, I'd already had an investigative lap done the year before to try and find the cause of lower abdominal pain but the gynaecologists only found that I had PCOS and made no mention of endo.
Anyway, I've been having the periods from hell for at least five years but haven't done anything about them as when I last saw a gynaecologist who suggested the Pill, we were still trying (in vain) for a third child. My periods seem to last longer than they ever did - a full week now - and are heavy and clotty pretty much the whole time (I'm changing twice through the night on a couple of nights of the week).
My question is that for the past three or four months I've been getting abdominal pains and discomfort lasting a couple of weeks immediately following on from the end of my period - this month the pain started about halfway through my period. I get a bloated abdomen too although this goes up and down. This time I have got no appetite and feel full as soon as I've taken a bite or two of food - I've never had this before - although my tummy did not stay bloated for very long. I've still got the pains now although my period finished last Friday.
I have scared myself silly reading on the internet what these symptoms could potentially mean and I have got an appointment with the GP tomorrow afternoon. I was wondering with my sensible head on though if this could all be due to endometriosis and if anyone else had experience strange patterns of pain with their endo?

Keep in mind, the results of this poll will not determine the price of this product (that has already been determined), but will determine whether the product becomes available.
Initially, I will be targeting Android devices only, but may expand later on if demand exists.
Please click the following links to vote:
Question 1
Question 2
Please only answer question 3 if you answered yes to question 1.
Question 3
Thank you for your time. I have more research to do before launching this business, but your answers will be a huge help in my decision. Follow me on twitter @Dr_Carpenter82 for possible news. If I decide to go forward with this, that is where it will be announced initially.

Your Dream Body Without Gym or Protein Only With Bar Brothers
Have you ever admired gymnastics? I think of course you are; Because they have greater bodies than bodybuilders, but looks more functional and much more athletic.Thats the reason why street workout exploded in recent years.
And nowadays there is a much more popular trend in fitness world which is one that i have been applying for last 4 months.I must admit, I've never been in better condition physically and mentaly.
It is an advanced bodyweight exercise program or recently named as calisthenics.You don't need gym, any machine or even any weight.You only need a set of bars!
Do not underestimate bodyweights effects.You can look creators of BAR BROTHERS which is systematic calisthenics workout program, ı've followed.
Lazar Novovic and Dusan Djolevic creators of Bar Brothers
Step By Step Build Your Body With Bar Brothers
As I said before calisthenics is a healthy and most effective street workout style and Bar Brothers is the professionaly prepeared calisthenics workout routine.
I begin these program to make some gymnastic moves like one handed push ups and pull ups, human flag etc. While ı have been travelling in this program by learning these moves ı sculpted a spectecular ripped body.
Why Calisthenics Better Than Conventional Training?
First of all, nothing is wrong with gym based training. Nothing at all.Resistance training and diet with high protein low carb is the best way to transform your body.
However something are different with calisthenistics training.I think main reason is it's simplity.And there are some effects of bodyweigt based training that conventional training methods can't provide;
1. It Build Better Overall Body
Calisthenics trainers have more athletic and lean body than gym buffs and bodybuilders.Gym guys have overly devoloped chests and rounded shoulders but not much six pack.They have been training with 100 kg bench press but they can not do calisthenisters moves .Also that athletic appearance brings much more fun than gym guys.
2. It Always Keep You Ambitious
Building body mostly interested with its persistance.While one train at gym he or she need to go vacation and s/he loose its interest towards gym or sometimes gym trainings get monotonues because gym based trainings have less milestones than calisthenics trainings.
In gym your ope while going an exercise is lifting more than yesterday but it's not a real purpose.Your real purpose to get bulked ripped body is on very far therefore you can loose your interest easily.However, bodyweight trainings always keep you tuned because there are tons of moves to learn and while learning them you never bored.
3. You Don't Get Injured Easily
While exercising with your bodyweight your brain also learn how to control your body when you are falling or jumping.In other words, you learn your body balance.
But in gym to get bigger muscles, we generally increase the weights and it gradually hurt your back, shoulder and knees.
Reasons To Choose Bar Brothers
First and foremost reason is their step by step exercise plan. I love how it advancess. And I love how they always underlines their techniques.
The fitness world has lots of know it all amateurs, but the Bar Brothers System is created by their founders.There fore you can always ask your problems to co founder Dusan Lazar or Novovic Djolevic.
Second reason is bar brothers system make you feel yourself in part of a movement.I Bar Brothers there is a challenge to become part of brotherhood
a little motivational taste of Bar Brothers:
Lastly, they don't ignored power of nutrition.It doesn't matter how much you train without good diet program, you can not reach your goals.
Their recommendations are very similar to conventional methods like higher protein, less fat and carb.But they don't allow you to use protein shake or supplement.
Here Some Success Stories

The Republican Right since 1945
The Republican Right since 1945
The Republican Right. Few terms in American political history have conjured up more meanings, more emotions, and more myths than this one. But more historical understanding is needed, now that a Right Wing Republican currently presides in the White House over perhaps the most important restructuring of American society since the New Deal.
This is not to imply that contemporaries failed to analyze or sought to ignore the Republican Right. How could they? In much of the post-New Deal period, hard-line Republicans commanded the Republican party in Congress, often enhancing their power by working with conservative southern Democrats. Also, GOP conservatives drew attention by bucking the trends of the era, and political observers constantly speculated about their motives -- benighted obscurantism? ideological or constitutional scruples? economic self- or class-interest? As for historians, much has been written on certain aspects of the Republican Right -- "McCarthyism,"foreign policy, and the presidential campaigns of 1948 and 1952 -- and there are several excellent biographies on Right Wing leaders during the period. But an adequate, full-scale treatment of the Republican Right in the post-World War II era has been conspicuously missing. This book attempts to fill that gap in American political history.
The major focus of this work is the period from 1945 through 1965. These twenty years represent a natural and tidy period. The year 1945 was crucial for all Americans. Roosevelt had died and World War II had come to an end. But for Right Wing Republicans that year was especially important. Republican conservatives now faced a national and international world wrought by Roosevelt, but without the intimidating presence of that popular figure. By 1965 Right Wing Republicans had confronted this post- Roosevelt world, the foreign policy demand of fighting the Cold War against the Soviet Union, as well as Eisenhower's "Modern Republicanism." And, finally, they had nominated their own GOP standard-bearer.
Beginning in 1945, the present work investigates the general doctrine of the Republican Right, and the Republican Right's successful and unsuccess-

text: This paper reviews three computer mouse studies in our laboratory where our emphasis was on mechanisms behind computer related disorders. Our approach was sequentially (i) to determine validity of a laboratory model of computer mouse use (painting rectangles) for studying musculoskeletal disorders; to use this model (ii) to study time pressure and precision demands on position sense and muscular oxygenation; and (iii) to determine the effect of pauses (active vs passive) on these parameters. (i) Kinematic data for the painting model showed constrained movements of the wrist similar to CAD work; a support for its validity for a real life situation. (ii) Changes in forearm oxygenation were associated with time pressure and precision demands; a potential for insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. (iii) Increasing trends in oxygenation and blood volume were associated with pauses, especially active; possible explanation for the alleviating effect of discomfort experienced in real life situations when a pause is implemented.
