There are several aspects of the cars design and construction that are fairly advanced.
The cryogenically manufactured torion bars that counterbalance the doors were developed and manufactured by Grumman Aerospace. Their function is taken for granted by DeLorean owners but the design and function is very elegant.
Previous gullwing cars struggled with counterbalancing the gullwing doors. The Mercedes sports coupe tackled the problem by making the doors very light. For structural reasons, the door sills on the Mercedes therefore had to be very substantial and the sills are quite high. The Bricklin approached the problem by using pneumatically operated struts that would raise the doors using compressed air stored in its rear bumper. The doors would get pumped up at the press of a button. This approach was often slow and cumbersome. The DeLorean torsion bar counterbalances the door by storing torsional energy (in a way similar to how a spring stores energy when compressed). The cryogenic manufacturing process was necessary in order to strengthed the torsion bar for repeated operation without the bar fatiguing or breaking. In a process that I do not understand well, the crystalline structure of the material was modified in the process so that the "grain" in the material would run through the bar in an optimal way. If you examine a DeLorean torion bar you will see that it is twisted along its axis several times over its short distance. I have never heard of a torsion bar breaking under normal use, although I have heard of people over doing the pre-tension in the bar and twisting the roofs of their cars.

This is a single malt from an undisclosed distillery. It is from a single cask (Bourbon Barrel) and only 78 bottles were made. Light peat with sweet pears in the smell. After some minutes in the glass, the peat gets more deep. Some heathery notes and hints of oak.
The taste is hot and full of peat. Some earthy notes mixes in, with some vanilla on the side. The finish is a bit short, and gets a bit watery. After a couple of sips, it is as if the oils have covered your mouth and the flavours stays a little longer. Peat, hay and vanilla sweetness.
If you like your Islay whiskies young and fresh, this would be a fine choice. It is not very complex, but it is very uncomplicated, with a fine balance. A very honest Islay dram. I will give this 83/100 (20/21/21/21).

Closed For Spring Enrollment-Check Back In MAY!
TUITION COSTS AND WHAT EACH SmART SCHOOL PLAN MEANS!
Bootcamp Basics:The heart of illustration, indeed the soul of so much of what we do is the human figure. We created this 12 week course to focus on that most basic of fundamentals that we have found are missing with many newcomers to illustration.
This is a beginner class, students will be assigned a rigorous set of weekly drawings to complete both from the Bargue book and outside sources. The instructor will do critiques and demonstrations in class based on the same sources.
And we think we're on the right track because it was good enough for Van Gogh.
Beginning Illustration:This class picks up where the Bootcamp Basic leaves off- if you've been through bootcamp and you're ready to start your first illustration assignments- this is the perfect class for you. Three to four true "ILLUSTRATION" assignments will be given by the instructor.Students will start using their skills in focused and narrative compositions.
With the Beginning Illustration class there will be a guest AD specific to this class that will give an assignment for the students to do at the end of class and receive a critique from that AD.
**As with any career choice, this class is a commitment and tuition is non refundable and non transferrable to another semester. We are run by working artists, not an endowed college and we make the commitment to teach and the students commit to come and work hard.
*Classes cannot be recorded or shared on the web- they are solely between your teacher and you.
This is for people who want to get a taste of what SmArt School is about, through interactive lecture. Students will get the opportunity to watch 12 in depth lectures that will ALSO be recorded and available later, for the duration of the semester, through a password protected cache so they they can watch DURING class and or later at their leisure.This is the ONLY SmArt School Class that offers the option of recorded content( as other classes may cover NDA material ).
Enrollment in this class includes the chance to attend the Art Director visits but for Q&A only, not portfolio review.
Our seminar series will be taking the place of our previous "monitor option" for the fall 2014 semester, but with this option you still CAN monitor one other SAS class! Best of BOTH worlds for the same price!
SmArt School Class per week for the duration of the semester.
The full 12 weeks of mentorship classes, a bonus make-up class built into a 13 class schedule(12 official classes plus one built in make-up class for unexpected student absences. If a teacher has to miss a class due to illness etc.. we ADD a class to the end of the semester), crits, demos, a visit from a guest Art Director or Editor plus one monitor spot( with the exception of the recorded seminar series). Students show the fastest progress with this plan because of the volume of work produced.
This is a new class format we are offering. Currently it is only being offered in Rebecca Leveille-Guay's Gallery Focus Mentorship. Similar to the FULL Mentorship format but with classes meeting live every other week for 9 weeks and email touch base with students on the alternating 9 weeks- for a total of 18 weeks working with the instructor.
One monitor spot( with the exception of the recorded seminar series)is also included in this plan.
$2500 for the class, either "Full Intensive Mentorship" or "Long Game"
enroll in the "FULL Mentorship" or "Long Game Mentorship"
This plan consists of 6 classes,plus the Art Director/Editor visit. Pro students can monitor the classes with their chosen instructor on their off weeks. Pro students also get one additional monitor spot( with the exception of the recorded seminar series).
Be SmART and don't miss your chance to be part of the program!

The three girls were in South Africa over Christmas and also found time to organise ten Christmas parties for crèches in the area. They baked cookies and made lots of 'sweetie bags', then organised all sorts of games for the children to take part in.
The girls said, "We really enjoyed the time with the kids and it was a unique experience for us! Our host family have been so kind to us and we've made lots of new friends. It was absolutely worthwhile to spend the past months in Vaalwater - we've had a great time and so have the children!"

Edina, Minnesota - September 17, 2017 – A coalition of labor groups led by the Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council announced today plans to stage a protest at Edina’s Southdale Center to educate the public about the hazards that shoppers can face during mall renovations if contractors potentially fail to follow proper safety procedures.
Beginning at 6 a.m. on Monday, September 18, skilled construction workers wearing asbestos protection gear and carrying “Shop At Your Own Risk” banners will take up posts at the main mall entrances. The unions say that they are particularly concerned by mall owner Simon Properties’ selection of an out-of-state contractor whose sister company has been cited for mishandling asbestos to remediate an old J.C.Penney location that will soon host the Twin Cities’ most luxurious Life Time Fitness branch.
Workers employed by National Environmental Services Corporation, based in Bloomington, Indiana, are onsite under an asbestos removal permit that extends into the Christmas shopping season.
“We investigated National Environmental Services Corporation and we didn’t like what we found,” according to Kevin Pranis, Marketing Manager for LIUNA Minnesota, which represents skilled asbestos remediation workers.
The public information banners planned for September 18 will feature laborers in asbestos removal equipment complete with protective suits and respirators.
The action represents a revival of the unions’ “Shop at Your Own Risk” campaign, which was launched in 2014 when representatives uncovered a series of safety lapses during the renovation of Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka (see coverage from the Star Tribune and City Pages).
Pranis said he finds it ironic that Simon Properties hired a contractor like National Environmental Services Corporation for a location that will ultimately house a Life Time Fitness.
• What: Union members deliver safety message to shoppers and mall employees.

As bricks and mortar retail stores struggle to maintain footfall, we examine three brands that are fighting back by trying to encourage consumers to hit the high street by doing things a little differently.
When shopping online offers efficiency and a wealth of choice, with minimal effort required beyond the tapping in of card details, it’s easy to see why consumers are opting to shop from home rather than head out to the high street. And, now that their potential customers are more than comfortable with e-commerce, new brands can start up quickly by purchasing a domain name. For some however, the lure of the in-store experience has proved too lucrative as digitally born brands make the move to bricks-and-mortar. Here, we look at three companies who’ve gone offline: how are they making it work?

The thing that I’ve learned about J.L. Berg’s storytelling since I was introduced to her stories is that each and every one has heart, has powerful emotions, and has lessons to be learned through the characters’ experiences and conflicts. There hasn’t been one that hasn’t resonated in some way with me due to the relatability of the story line or the realistic presentation of her characters’ concerns and/or problems, and in Berg’s newest release, The Mistakes I’ve Made, I’m, once again, struck by how her characters’ struggles speak to me and make me hope against hope that the hero and heroine will find a way through the maelstrom and come out of it changed in ways that allow them to move forward instead of focusing on the past.
a business man in the small island town of Ocracoke, North Carolina, seemed to have lived very different lives and don’t appear to share a common vision about what’s to be done with the renovation of Ocracoke’s only hotel, they do manage to find common ground as the story progresses, proving that attraction and chemistry can easily overshadow first impressions and preconceived notions.
It’s easy to understand what motivates Lani’s actions and what she hopes to gain by overseeing the hotel’s revamping, but what’s also clear is that her father has never truly seen her as anything other than someone beneath him, and I don’t see that changing despite her best efforts. Readers can’t help but feel for this lonely girl who just wants her father’s love and acceptance, and even though that doesn’t seem to be something that will happen, the fact that Lani finds a new path to take during her time in Ocracoke, we’re hopeful that the connection she seeks can be found in people who see her for the amazing woman that she’s always been.
Taylor may resent the fact that he was never able to leave his small hometown and adventure out on his own, but he’s made the best of it by being a successful businessman and quite the ladies’ man as well, and even though he sees Lani and her father’s company as an enemy of Ocracoke, when he’s chosen to keep an eye on the pretty interloper and be the go between to ensure that Hart International’s intentions meet the wants and needs of the townspeople, these two ‘enemies’ become friends and soon give into the sexual tension that has surrounded them since Lani set foot on the small town island.
The title itself also lends to symbolic meanings, but even after finishing the text, I’m still not quite sure whose mistakes are in question and who deserves the forgiveness that could be obtained…but perhaps that Berg’s intention, which means that all readers are on point in their assessment of who’s to learn and who’s to forgive.

RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/25/2018 5:30PM - in reply to Indoor?
Tara told the coach she wanted to transfer during the term of the scholarship. In fact, she told him extremely late. That leaves the coach ZERO chance to be able to spend the scholarship to bring another athlete in. The team was relying on Tara to score points. Instead, she totally abandoned them all and ran to Texas. So she took Georgia's money for a free semester of tuition and then bailed. Now she wants to use the fitness and technical skill acquired AT Georgia to use AGAINST Georgia a mere few weeks after indicating she wants to transfer.
Tara made a commitment and wasn't willing or able to uphold her end of it. In addition, she ended her commitment in the worst way possible, at the worst moment possible.
You need to realize that this is Tara's fault. Not the NCAA's fault, not the coach's fault, not Georgia's fault. Tara's fault. She has to sit out a year because she screwed up. Tara knows it, but decided come up with a BS sob story to come off as the victim in a desperate attempt to guilt them into a release.
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/25/2018 6:11PM - in reply to Indoor?
AS her teammate stated, she lacks integrity. She won't make anybody look bad except herself.
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/25/2018 7:59PM - in reply to Indoor?
It is not up to the NCAA, it is up to the school. I thought you knew the rules?
Transfer rules are in place to protect the athlete and the University. Tara is following the process based on circumstances that as a family we believe that will be better served with a family support system.
Questioning her character? Hey I’m sure all of us can do better in that department.
Our child was an athlete on some of the USA teams Tara was on. I don’t know that she is a diva and I honestly don’t care.
What’s sad is that she and/or her parents didn’t expect this situation and don’t seem to be accepting the fact that the only athlete who would be granted an exception to compete in January, when the notification of transfer is in December is an athlete with little or no chances to score points at a conference level.
It would literally be a disservice to his team/school for an AD to grant this kind of request.
Plenty of athletes who are competitive and expected to score at the NCAA level are granted exceptions to compete WHEN THEY TRANSFER IN THE SUMMER/FALL.
If Tara wanted to compete this season, her parents should have known this. They have plenty of resources available to them; not the least of which is the NCAA handbook itself. Or she could have asked around or done her research.
There’s no shame in transfers. Plenty of families have athletes who sign NLI’s thinking the school is a place for them, where they can thrive, only to find its not a great fit after all. It doesn’t matter why. That’s between the athlete and whomever they choose to share that info with.
But she will likely need to redshirt a year if she doesn’t want to or can’t go pro now.
And her parents should have helped her more by understanding how businesses work and setting appropriate expectations.
(And who signs an aid agreement just to avoid a dead period, BTW? ?!! Trying to skirt the rules is what seemed to get her into this mess in the first place).
Just my 2 cents as a parent of a power5 scholarship athlete.
If Georgia doesn't release her, she can apply for a hardship exemption to compete immediately and she will likely get it.
Think Shea Patterson playing at Michigan this year.
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/25/2018 11:46PM - in reply to Indoor?
The first appeal process (which she is doing now) goes through the school. The new NCAA rule still requires support of the school that she is leaving. If she doesn't get that, she's out of luck.
Exactly! She signed a scholarship aid with Texas, Petros sees that which 99.99999% of the time means she will be attending Texas and tweets good luck at Texas.
It's sketchy for her to sign that just to go for an official visit during a dead period. Also, if she backs out of that to go somewhere else, I think she'll DEFINITELY have to sit out a year - even if she wins the appeal with Georgia.
It also tells me she decided to transfer at the last minute, as she didn't visit any schools before the dead period started.
But I have a feeling that it wasn't just to do an official visit at Texas. I think it was legit and she'll be at Texas in less than 10 days.
There is nothing to sign when transferring.
Yes the first appeal process, but if the school doesn't support it she can and will receive the NCAA hardship waiver. Instead of telling me I'm wrong, why don't you just go look up the rules.
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/26/2018 8:28AM - in reply to Indoor?
Out of curiosity, what’s the hardship she is having??
Who knows and it doesn’t really matter. Just has to have one.
Her hardship is that she is entitled, and the victim here.
Can someone explain what that means? All of the NCAA rules state that only incoming freshmen sign an NLI. What do transfers do to get some level of assurance? Is it this so-called scholarship aid contract that she mentioned? Is it just a form that the school prepared that describes their planned aid for her?
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/26/2018 9:34AM - in reply to Indoor?
Were people bashing Courtney Frerichs and calling her a diva when she went to New Mexico?
What an absurd comparison. If Davis had graduated and/or left during the summer, she wouldn't be in this situation.
RE: Tara Davis transfers from Georgia 12/26/2018 10:32AM - in reply to Indoor?
So you basically want her to just lie and make something up to game the system. Real classy.
And it's basically what she's doing. Total class act.
Where is the lie? As a family we are well aware of the possibilities of Tara sitting . The coach and University are also well aware of her reasons for wanting to transfer.
For some it is hard to comprehend a situation that would lead us to this decision. This decision was not done in haste nor done without being informed. The decision is for the betterment of my child. No diva move, no publicity stunt, just putting her in a better position to manage the challenges that life throws at her.
When did Tara notify the coach of her intent to transfer?

Do you know the warning signs of a stroke? Act F.A.S.T.
If you or someone around you had a stroke, would you be able to recognize the signs?
When it comes to stroke, time is of the essence. The faster you recognize the warning signs of a stroke and call 9-1-1, the more time doctors have to administer clot-busting drugs or other therapies. These clot-busters help save brain function.
So, what are the warning signs of a stroke, according to the American Heart Association?
Fewer people in the United States are dying from strokes, but the number of strokes has remained about the same. And their findings bear out the South’s reputation as the nation’s so-called “stroke belt,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
According to the CDC report on stroke prevalence from 2006 to 2010, the number of self-reported strokes dipped slightly from 2.7 percent to 2.6 percent during that time. However, disparities still exist by geography, race and ethnicity. Older people, American Indians/Alaska Natives, blacks and people with lower levels of education had more strokes than younger people, whites and those with higher levels of education, the researchers found.
Deaths from stroke decreased significantly, with the CDC reporting a 3.6 percent decline from 2007 to 2008. More people survive strokes primarily because of better treatment.
Because the first three hours after a stroke are critical for treatment, it’s important to have a stroke center close to you. Learn why it’s good to know which local hospitals offer in-depth care for stroke patients in this segment from Good Morning Texas with Alwin Arendse, D.O., an emergency medicine physician on the medical staff at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine, or view it below.

LOS ANGELES — Rachel Kolpa was named the SCIAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
The first year from Seattle scored a pair of goals to lead the Tigers to a 2-1 win over Knox in their season opener on Saturday night.
Kolpa scored her first goal in the 6th minute when the Knox keeper came too far off her line. She won the ball, dribbled her way around the keeper and placed the ball into the back of the net. Her second goal came in the 75th minute. Isabella Bonomi made a good run down the left line and received a great ball from Devoney Amberg. She got the cross off and Kolpa came charging in, getting a sliding foot on it to put Oxy up 2-1.
The Tigers open SCIAC play on Wednesday against Cal Lutheran at 7 p.m. at Jack Kemp Stadium.

Summer grilling at its best – grilled greek salmon kebabs! Only 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking stand between you and the easiest weeknight dinner. These kebabs are gluten free, paleo, whole30 approved and AIP too!
Let me guess: summer is so hot that you don’t want to turn on your oven?
Let me also guess: you’re hungry, need food STAT, and don’t want to spend the night cooking?
GUYS. Then these grilled greek salmon kebabs are for you!
Salmon is a staple in my house. It’s on our dinner table weekly, if not more. I am always looking for new ways to prepare it so we don’t get bored of the same ole thang.
The flavors on the salmon are fabulous as is; but I love eating these as lettuce wraps with sliced cucumber and coconut yogurt. They are also fabulous with a little avocado too! But really, is there anything not fabulous with a little avocado? I don’t think so.
And you should also know, these salmon kebabs are gluten free (obvs), paleo (double obvs), Whole30 approved (!!) and AIP too! GRILLED GREEK SALMON KEBABS FOR EVERYONE!
Make these Grilled Greek Salmon Kebabs and post a picture on social media and use the hashtag #imhungrybynature for a chance to be featured!
Heat your grill to medium heat – about 300 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss salmon with avocado oil. Add the spices and stir until salmon is evenly coated.
Skewer the salmon and lemon slices. I prefer to use two skewers for each one – this helps keep the salmon and lemon in place.
Grill skewers for approximately 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Note: the salmon will release itself from the grill when it is ready.

there was a WALGREENS FLYER in my sunday paper! apparently windham, bath, & norway all have functional walgreens in their neighborhoods, but i’ve never actually been in one. they’ve been building one on forest ave. for months now- and it looks like it’s almost done! people who coupon seem to love it, but i have to say that i’m a little scared. the flier looked to have some pretty excellent deals in it, and from what i can tell, the register rewards system works pretty much like the CVS extrabuck system… although i’ve heard rumors that it isn’t as consistent (rewards don’t always print out like they’re supposed to). should i be afraid? should i be excited? should i make my hot and dirty affair with rite aid exclusive and tell everyone else to go screw? the drama!
I think you will like it. They always have good sales like BOGO on different cosmetic lines every week. At least ours does. Their store brand pharmacy products are good and are often on sale. They have sale flyers by the front door with coupons and you can go to their website to see the weekly sales. Happy shopping!
The deals are a little harder to work especially if you use the register rewards to pay for things. 1-have more items than coupons and register rewards added together or it will deny the register rewards. So lots of times I will look for clearance things (that I can use) or a couple single pencils. Also if say you buy a shampoo and get a register reward you can buy another shampoo with that register reward but you won’t get another register reward. I find them hard to work. But if you are so unhappy with CVS then it may be a good change for you.
that’s exactly why i’m scared! a whole new system to learn! but thank you for you tips, i’m sure in time (just like cvs and rite aid), i’ll figure it out.

The Basement presents its first production, Kenneth Lonergan's THIS IS OUR YOUTH.
An exploration of existing in the chasm between adolescence and adulthood, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a snapshot of 48 hours in the lives of three young people during their attempt to make it out in the world as adults. In the early 1980's, at the dawn of the Reagan Era, these articulate, wealthy, recreational drug using teens from Manhattan's Upper West Side must enter into a society which recently rejected the ideas and ideals of their liberal upbringings. Ideas and ideals which were all they were equipped with, at once seemingly sophisticated and yet not nearly as effective for blazing a path as they thought.
The Basement is a theatrical production company started by a group of young adult artists with the shared goal of not only continuing but taking charge of their own artistic development while honoring their previous training. The company is guided by 4 tenets: serve the story, serve the performance, serve the audience and the actor is invisible.
The Basement is an offshoot of highly acclaimed Fun House Theatre and Film and although operating and producing work as an independent entity, the philosophy and artistic mindset of the company is solidly steeped in the teachings of Jeff Swearingen, Fun House's Founder and Artistic Director.

Marking the end of the Cote d’Or (Part 2), we stopped off at a cave in Mercurey for the final tasting of Burgundy wines. Upon entering, I was immediately put off by the Enomatic machines but after the short battle between the logic and emotion, I stayed and tasted some wines, hearing the chattering of tourists.
We quickly drove through Macon and reached Beaujolais, where another surprise was awaiting me. Like many people, I instantly frown at the sound of the name, Beaujolais, all because of the worldwide reputation of Beaujolais for its marketing gimmick. I was dreading at the thought of tasting that cheap bubblegum wine.
Driving through the Beaujolais villages, I thought to myself, “The villages are rather charming, flowers everywhere, like a real farmer’s village.” I saw many cyclists riding up and down the hills in that area, too; it had a real French feel in the air. The spirits of natural, laid-back life with good food may reflect on their wines, perhaps…straightforwardness without pretension.
After a quick tasting in Julienas, which was so-so, we stopped at Chateau de Chenas where we had a long chat with a weather-beaten, hardworking wine grower&producer and his wife about wine making techniques including carbonic maceration, by which I had been fascinated and also confused recently.
What triggered my curiosity even further during this trip was having come across so many bottles that gave the tingly sensation on the tip of the tongue, which I suspect comes from carbonic maceration and what people perceive as minerality, and what Robert Parker likes. As I am still learning about wines, I hope people don’t get offended by my lack of knowledge and hope that some experts will find my pages and correct the wrong information given here.
He doesn’t flush the vats with carbon dioxide, as generally described in the process of carbonic maceration, which sounds like a high technique and costly. How can poor farmers afford the machine in the first place and sell their wines at €3-5? It doesn’t make sense to me. He lets carbon dioxide produced naturally during the fermentation do the work.
The carbonic maceration is called maceration traditionelle (compared to maceration carbonique) and the whole bunches of grapes are placed in a tank and the grapes at the bottom are crushed by the weight of the grapes above them, starting to ferment and release CO2. before the yeast fermentation. This method helps to make wines produced from Gamay less tannic and more aromatic with lush fruit flavours of red cherries, strawberries and raspberries. I’d never seen barrels with so many stains! They seem natural, but does it mean something else?
I tasted, first, the wines that didn’t go through barrel fermentation and then the ones that did. The wines without the barrel influence were perfectly delicious and the ones aged in the barrel were more complex and spicier. I was slightly taken aback by the unexpected depth of colour and taste; luscious fruit and violets on the nose and concentrated forest berries and wet stones on the palate and faint spices with powerful tannin, which is different to the smoky, licorice and tobacco like tannins in Bordeaux reds.
While tasting the wines and being surprised by the new discovery, I remembered how a French acquaintance once responded to my “I won’t even touch Beaujolais wines.”. He said, “Not all Beaujolais wines are bad. You might find some surprises.” He was right!
For the price averaging €7-10, I think I can drink it happily with a nice hearty meal, especially some exotic and spicy food, which is difficult to pair with tannic and earthy Bordeaux reds. I would rather have cheerful cru Beaujolais than cheap flabby Bordeaux. I was glad that this experience got rid of my prejudice about Beaujolais and I will definitely search for some when they are around.
We continued on and soon started driving along Le Rhone near Lyon. There we had another gastronomic dinner at a lively restaurant, La Tete de Lard, and I ordered things I didn’t try the last time I was in Lyon, Petit salé aux lentilles, and the second try of Andouillette, which was the best I’d had and I preferred it to the salt-cured pork. Pork, veau, pork, veau…it’s a meaty region.
The next day we were in the northern Rhone, my favourite! Reaching Ampuis, across to the right bank of the Rhone river, I came into this unusual sight of terraced vineyards on steep slopes.
Who the heck planted grapes there in the first place? How the heck do they walk up and down the hills to work and pick the grapes?
Billboards of three celebrated producers, Marcel Guigal, M.Chapoutier, and Paul Jaboulet Aîné ….just incredible!
They reminded me of the Hollywood sign. Apparently, these are the oldest vineyards in France, first planted by the Romans, and the praise of the wines from this place by Pliny the Elder was documented 2000 years ago.
The billboard of Paul Jaboulet Aîné, whose wines I tasted later, is seen on the hill over the bank of Tain L’Hermitage. Personally I am quite cautious of wines from this region because I’ve had so many bad experiences with Côte Rôtie. Some of the wines had an unpleasant level of reduction, with a whizz of cat’s pee and meaty aromas on the nose. Perhaps, they were not high quality or I was overly sensitive to those aromas.
Wines from this region are quite expensive for average quality because as you can see, there are only a few big producers making wines and as they are small production and highly sought-after, the prices go pretty steep. But after seeing these vineyards, I can understand how demanding the managing the vineyards would be and I hope the growers get their fair share.
Anyway, we stopped in a Côte Rôtie Cave and tasted some white peppery Syrah wines and peachy, floral, full-bodied Condrieu, made from Viognier. The sweet late harvest Viognier, Patience, had really special honey, nectar, floral tastes, and the oaked Caresse was also good, but the reds were so so.
Before heading down to the darker red sites, Crozes-Hermitage and Côtes du Rhone including Gigondas and perhaps all the way to Chateauneuf-du-Pape, we had a lovely picnic by the river Rhone with the assortment of foods we had picked up along the way.
In two boutique caves, we covered some of the northern Rhone wines. I liked the Gigondas by Paul Jaboulet Aine, which tasted almost like my pepper mill mixture; black, white, pink peppercorns and mustard seeds with rosemary and anise. The rich dark fruit-driven wine with lots of spices made the full-on road trip worthwhile after all.
The tasting at the M.Chapoutier cave was pretty interesting. The guy, who was preparing to close the store, was very patient with last minute comers, explaining everything with professionalism. The wines were all delicious without any flaws to point out. While tasting wines by this international giant wine enterprise, I understood how they could make such a success.
Apparently they made changes to the wine making techniques, bringing back the traditional pigeage (stomping the grapes by foot) and advocating lunar viticulture. I don’t know and I don’t want to be biased here, but having said that, over the last two months of studying French wines, I’d discovered that some of the most impressive wines were supposedly biodynamic wines.
It might have been purely accidental but I am a strong believer in that if the vines and grapes are cared for, the wines are bound to taste good. It was very nice of them to have the display of different soils for wine dummies like me as they made special labels for the blind. As you can see, Chateauneuf du Pape has different compositions of red, sandy clay and pebbles known as galets roules.
Well, where am I heading next? Continue further down to the southern Rhone or return to Bordeaux? I will see in the morning where my wine desire will lead me…. A bientot!
Close to the house, Macon, Beaujolais and many interesting tours like this can be found in the area.

I’m so excited to come to teach at Flow Yoga on Saturday January 11th.
I couldn’t tell if she was being serious. She had fancy workout gear, an athletic physique and a fantastic yoga practice.
As she walked into the Power Hour class, I looked down at my core, leaner than it used to be, but still showing evidence of late night adventures to South Brooklyn Pizza.
So be it… I have learned to take pride in what I got! Over the past few year, we have seen a proliferation of ‘elite wellness’ on social media.
This is a form of wellness for people with a certain type of a body, a certain type of income, a certain amount of free time.
I’ll tell you what I’m projecting: A NEW TYPE OF WELLNESS that is inclusive of the other 95% of the population.
-Here’s a shout out to anyone who, like me, feels like a Ford F-150 on the yoga mat and doesn’t care about doing fancy poses.
-Here’s a call to action for anyone who wants to embrace wellness but just can’t stomach green juice.
…when we can smile because we have surrendered (not dominated).
Try this on for size: HAPPY is the new Healthy!
If this resonates with you, join me January 11th at Flow Yoga Ashburn and Happy New Year!

As previously reported, two properties owned by Gundersen St. Joseph's, residing to the immediate east of the current hospital, have seen preparation work over recent weeks including soil borings and the removal of trees. Attention now turns to the two houses and accompanying structures.
The properties have recently undergone inspection for lead and asbestos, a step which is necessary before any removal, deconstruction or salvage can take place.
"By law, we have to do the necessary testing for lead and asbestos, particularly taking into consideration the age of these buildings," says Danni Gearhart, CEO at Gundersen St. Joseph's Hospital and Clinics. "These tests were conducted and came back positive for asbestos in one house. There isn't a large amount, but it will need to be abated before we can proceed with the next steps."
Once asbestos abatement has been completed, Gundersen St. Joseph's will work with Barn Board and Beam, a salvage company from Readstown, Wis., to begin the process of deconstruction and salvage.
"The houses are not in a state in which they can be relocated," says Terry Sosinsky, facility operations director at Gundersen St. Joseph's; "however, we are working with a team who believes there are elements, such as floors and doors, which can be salvaged and reused."
Gundersen St. Joseph's is focusing heavily on ensuring the project is considerate to the environment by minimizing what goes to landfill.

Lifestyle changes are a healthy and wholesome way to manage weight gain, but the time commitment may prove difficult. How to Lose Belly Fat for Skinny People January 11, 2013 by Jay Leave a Comment If you are skinny and still have fat around your belly to lose then you might be what is known as ' skinny fat '.
I see this far too much: some people who gain a bit of weight will get really motivated to lose that weight, and do some crazy cleanse or strict diet. Nope nope nope, people. Don't do that. Restricting calories or entire food groups because you want to drop weight fast is the best way to enter the soul-sucking vortex of the yo-yo diet.

After retiring from a nursing career and relocating to Delaware, Wanda Tucker, RN, was searching for a volunteer role that would provide an outlet for her compassion and skills. She found it at Delaware Hospice.
The Volunteer RN Program offers retired nurses an opportunity to share their expertise and to continue to experience the self-fulfilling rewards of caring for others.
Wanda believes that her presence there has been greatly appreciated by families. She has been able to reinforce safety issues, demonstrate deep breathing techniques, or emphasize the importance of exercising the arms and legs of bedridden patients.
Wanda also donates her time and expertise in the Delaware Hospice Family Caregiver Training Program. While a Delaware Hospice volunteer stays with the patient, allowing family caregivers to attend the training, Wanda and other volunteer RN’s provide educational sessions that address the unique needs of family caregivers. These educational sessions include hands-on training to family caregivers in the areas of safety, infection control, body mechanics, fall precautions, skin care, etc., along with self-care strategies and available resources.
Delaware Hospice is currently seeking nurses statewide who are retired, unemployed, or underemployed and interested in sharing their skills as a Volunteer RN in patient care or caregiver education. Please contact Ralph Plumley, Support Services Manager, at 302-478-5707 or rplumley@delawarehospice.org for more information.
More than 800 volunteers bolster Delaware Hospice’s activities, each contributing his or her own special gift. Volunteers may visit patients to give the caregiver a break, run errands, help out in Delaware Hospice offices, or help organize a fundraising event. In addition to the Volunteer RN Program, unique opportunities for service to others include Vet to Vet Volunteers and Memory Bear Seamstresses. New volunteers receive a comprehensive and worthwhile orientation so that they are well-prepared for their volunteer activities. To make a difference in someone’s life and enrich your own, call the Volunteer Coordinator in your county at 800-838-9800.

This program prepares students for entry-level employment as sign language interpreters. Sign language interpretation involves bridging the communication gap between deaf and hearing consumers effectively, accurately, and impartially.
In addition, program requirements include demonstrated mastery of program skills. Therefore, students must receive a "B" or better in all ASL and IPP courses and at least a "C" in all other general education coursework.
Students who have received a grade of “C” in any of these ASL or IPP courses may repeat the courses to earn the grade of “B” or better, but may only repeat these courses once. Students who are unable to achieve a "B" by the second attempt in a class will be asked to withdraw from the program.
Only one re-admission to the program may be permitted after twice receiving a grade of "C" or lower in any ASL or IPP course.
Students who have discontinued the IPP program for two or more years may be required to re-take some courses that have been successfully completed due to curriculum changes.
By attending classes on a full-time basis, students may complete the IPP program in two years. Educational standards for national certification requires a BA degree. FRCC has several articulation and transfer agreements that allow students to transfer the full AAS degree to earn a Bachelor's degree. Students may transfer to Gallaudet University to complete a BAI (Bachelor of Arts in Interpreting), or to Regis University or Siena Heights University to complete a BAS (Bachelor of Applied Science) degree. Contact the Interpreter Preparation Program office for further information.
Assessment testing is required for all students. Students who are reading at college-level and place into CCR 093 or above and MAT 050 or above may begin working on the prerequisites defined in items 1 and 2 above. Students scoring below this level should consult with a Faculty Member before registering for courses in this program of study.
Select one course (3 credits) from the Approved Electives List.

New Relic Browser's session traces provide a detailed timeline of the load and interaction events during a webpage's full life cycle, for as long as ten minutes. Page load timing, individual asset loads, user interactions, AJAX requests, callbacks, errors, and other events appear in an interactive timeline which includes a detailed waterfall visualization, a heat map overview, and highlighted metrics and problems related to that session.
By connecting performance to user experience and interactions to performance, this detailed and intuitive visualization of all events in the user's session can help pinpoint problem areas and easily identify solutions.
Your New Relic agent version must support New Relic Browser.
If you're using multiple names for an app, session traces will only report to the most specific application.
For accounts older than October 2014, you must enable New Relic Browser and the enhanced Pro features.
New Relic Browser randomly captures traces only from browsers that support the Resource Timing API.
rpm.newrelic.com/browser > (select an app) > Session traces: You can select a session trace from the index. You can also select a session trace directly from the New Relic Browser Overview, Page views, JS errors, and AJAX pages.
Go to rpm.newrelic.com/browser > (select an app) > Session traces.
To locate a session trace from a different date or time period, use the time picker.
To limit the index to a specific type of trace, use the search window.
To view detailed information, select the session trace's link.
You can also select a session trace directly from the Browser Overview, Page views, JS errors and AJAX pages.
The Session trace details page provides summary information about the trace, a heat map with timing details, and a waterfall of events that you can explore. The color-coded legend identifies the page load events during the webpage's life cycle.
For apps that have been deployed using the copy/paste method, New Relic Browser includes web app and queue time in Network time as part of the page load timing process. This is because New Relic Browser relies on the server-side agent to pass the application values to the Browser agent through auto-injection.
You can view detailed information about how this "back end" time breaks down from the browser's point of view. The session traces report on all the network related events available, so you can see on a case-by-case basis how the browser spends time on DNS lookups and other network events.
rpm.newrelic.com/browser > (select an app) > Session traces > (select a trace): Use New Relic Browser's session trace details to examine events and identify problems during the end user's webpage session.
To navigate through a session trace, explore the waterfall chart by scrolling vertically through the event stack, or select individual events to view their details.
View the web page for this session trace Select the trace link.
Jump to a specific time Select the time indicator or event on the heat map.
View details about individual events Select any event in the waterfall chart. From there, select View full details if applicable.
Change the location on the session trace Click on the heat map, or scroll vertically through the waterfall chart.
Zoom in or out of the overall trace Select the plus fa-plus or minus fa-minus icons below the heat map.
Share the session trace information Create a permalink to paste into a form, ticket, email, etc.
Important session trace measurements are displayed in the upper right corner of the Session traces page. The first four measurements represent how long into a session that the segment ended. For example, if Page Load is 1.111s, that means that the page load event completed 1.111 seconds after the request began.
Backend The time from when the request began to when backend activity finished and DOM loading began.
DOM processing The time from when the request began to when DOM processing finished.
Page load The time from when the request began to when the page load event fired.
Waiting on AJAX The time from when the request began to when AJAX activity ended.
First interaction The time from when the request began to when the first user activity, like a mouse click or a scroll, was recorded.
Duration The total duration of the session.
Session traces highlight any callbacks longer than 33ms. If called in rapid succession (such as inside a requestAnimationFrame loop), callbacks longer than 33ms reduce the frame rate below 30 frames per second, a speed which seems sluggish to humans.

Sinusitis occurs when your sinuses are infected and/or inflamed. If that infection or inflammation persists longer than three weeks, it’s considered to be chronic. Usually your sinuses become inflamed due to allergic triggers or respiratory infections like the common cold; but if that inflammation persists without treatment, it can lead to a sinus infection. Sinus infections can flare up suddenly or may follow a persisting common cold.
How is sinusitis diagnosed and treated?
For accurate sinus infection and chronic sinusitis diagnoses, The Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center uses the MiniCAT™ instant CT scanner. The scan takes only 40 seconds (20 seconds for children). Learn more about our MiniCAT™.
When the underlying cause is treated effectively, it frequently disappears or becomes less of a problem. Since allergies can lead to chronic sinusitis, immunotherapy may be the most effective long-term approach.
If your sinusitis goes untreated, you can expect more frequent sinus, ear, and upper and lower respiratory infections. It is even possible for the infection to invade the boney tissue (osteomyelitis), and in rare cases it can cause meningitis. Allergies and sinusitis are responsible for symptoms that make it difficult to enjoy a productive, active life. Work with your allergist to find a solution that helps you take back control.

iking Cantal’s volcanic uplands commences with a climb to Murat’s pilgrimage shrine, a fitting start to a fine day’s walking along a variant of the Compostella Trail. The cows are inquisitive but friendly, and you are rewarded for your efforts by the day’s grande finale: a climb to Eagle’s Beak Rock and Venus Point, at 1700 ms and 1669 ms respectively.
Hiking Cantal’s volcanic uplands continues the next day from the foot of Plomb du Cantal: you can either take your time scaling Le Plomb (two to two and a half-hours walking) or buy a ticket for the ‘telepherique’ and ride the cable car to the top. Either option provides spectacular vistas, and Cantal with aPlomb: the chance to enjoy the 360 degree panorama that awaits and an easterly vantage point over the whole volcanic upland. Then you commence the delightful descent along a Roman trail, the GR400, that follows a fabulous ridge and wide upland moorland before arriving in the charming village of Thiézac and dinner in your comfortable hotel.
The Road to Mandailles sees you climbing out of the the Cère valley along the splendid Chemin de Croix. Further up, you enjoy a view of the entire Cantal Volcano panorama from a southern belvedere – a site to satisfy the most demanding of eyes. Then it’s on route to your next convivial overnight stop at a walkers’ tavern in Mandailles, nestled in the Jordan valley to the north west. In between you walk some fine countryside, and a narrow ridge, that gives a southerly vantage point over the grandeur that is Puy Griou, Puy Mary and Puy de Peyre Arse.
The penultimate day features a Heavenly Circle indeed and arguably one of the best day’s walking in France outside of the Alps. You will marvel in the picturesque and staggered ascent to one of France’s hiking ‘musts’, Puy Mary. You gain access by traversing the much-vaunted Bréche de Rolland and complete the heavenly trilogy by following the ridge over Puy Chavaroche. Magic!
Hiking Cantal’s volcanic uplands finishes with a light walk up to Puy Grou, one of the Upland’s ‘iconic towers’ before descending for the final time to Lioran. We collect you from here and return you for the last nights triumphant dinner in the fine Cantalian town of Murat, where the fun started 6 nights earlier. ‘Flaner’ through its ‘ruelles’ in search of one of the many welcoming restaurants where you can celebrate in style according to taste.
