I've been meaning to write this post for a while after I got quite a few positive response on the one I did on eye make up removers (found here) I always wonder whether it really is worth paying more for things. I plan on doing posts on night creams and hot cloth cleansers too. Would you be interested in seeing posts like this on beauty products as well?
Anyway today's post is day creams. Let's start off with my skin type. I'm an oily combination skin type. While I used to sway away from moisturiser as I was oily skinned I used to not bother as I thought it was unnecessary to add more to my skin. How wrong was I. Since realising this I've been trying different ranges of skin care to find what's perfect for me.
In a day cream I like something that's light and sinks into my skin easily so I can apply my make up on a nice base and not have something heavy on my face as it doesn't need it.
The first one I started using was the Avon Solutions Complete Balance Day Cream. This is an absolutely brilliant moisturiser for anyone with oily combination skin. It's a mattifier day cream which just leaves the face with a nice shine free finish. It's oil free which is always good and has SPF15 which is what I like day creams to have so I don't have to worry if my foundation doesn't. The cream has a great consistency which leaves my skin feeling suitably moisturised without being oily. It sinks in easily too which means you can apply your make up onto a nice base. The RRP for this is £7.50 for 50ml which in itself is a great price but you can usually get it on offers and in deals. It's currently £5.00 here or you can get a travel set with a mask, day cream, night cream and cleanser here which is also £5.00 and is a great way to try them out. I got this one for £3 when it was on offer.
Apologises for the tatty pot. I like the pot it's similar to the Clinique one and means you can get all the product out easily. It does mean if you have long nails you do get some product under your nails. This cream has a nice fresh fragrance that is very subtle and possibly a little floral.
For if you want to spend a little more I have the Origins Balanced Diet Moisturiser.This is also an oil free moisturiser. It uses Japanese seaweed and sodium hyaluronate which is apparently what makes it great for oily/combination skin types as these give moisturiser without weighing down the skin. This lotion blends easily into the skin and feels very light weight. It has an almost minty fresh fragrance. I find it pleasant. This one cost £23.00 for 50ml so is significantly more than the Avon one. You can find out more about the ingredients and how they work here. I like the brand Origins and a lot of their products. But this isn't a cream I'd repurchase and I prefer the Avon one over this. Mainly because they are very similar but the Avon one also has SPF.
I do prefer the packaging of the Origins though.
Onto the Splurge. The Clinique Superdefense age Defense Moisturise SPF 25 for Combination oily to oily skin (with Clinique you can get the same moisturiser but for different skin types). I have previously done a full review on this day cream here. This moisturiser is brilliant. It's perfect for oily skin as it's lightweight and sinks into the skin easily. It feels fresh on the skin and sinks in well and has the highest SPF value of the three creams. I love that this cream is not only aimed at oily skin but is also Anti Ageing and while I'm only 23 I'm a firm believer of prevention is better than cure and it's best to start young. I find it hard to find anti ageing products that aren't heavy on this skin and this is brilliant. But it comes at a price. £37 for 50ml unfortunately. While it's pricey I really think it's worth every penny and would definitely repurchase. The product lasts a long time though. You can purchase here.
The packaging looks and feels luxurious and classic and is plastic which is handy if you are travelling. No one wants to spend £37 then drop it and it smash.
So overall this time for me SPLURGE wins. It's such a great all round cream to prevent anti ageing, sun damage and control oil. I love this. But when I'm skint I turn to my SAVE option as I think it's as good as SPLURGE so it's not worth spending the extra.
Have you tried any of these? What's your go to day cream? Are you happy to spend on day creams?
Love M

With referendum defeated, library looks to gain stronger foothold in township
By J. Chambless
By Richard L. Gaw
Staff Writer
A single question, written in the form of a referendum and included on a ballot given to every single resident of New Garden Township who voted on Nov. 4, read as follows:
"Do you favor increasing New Garden Township's real estate tax by 0.0927 mills, the revenue from such increase to be used exclusively to fund the operation of the Bayard Taylor Library?"
The inclusion of the referendum stemmed from a 5-0 vote by the members of the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors in August that approved the inclusion of a referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot that asked township residents if they would be in favor of establishing an annual dedicated library tax for the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library, beginning in 2015. If passed, each household would pay a little more than $37 a year in a dedicted library tax.
By the end of the day, the residents had provided their answer: 1,279 residents – or 42.67 percent – voted "Yes," and 1,404 – or 52.33 percent – voted "No."
Rather than place the blame for the vote on what some would call the short-sightedness of a few New Garden residents to understand the value of what added funding for the library could bring to the township, the library is looking at the vote as an opportunity.
"We deeply appreciate the support of the residents who voted in favor of the library, and why by their vote demonstrated that they understand the value of the library, to them personally and its role in sustaining our community," said Donna Murray, executive director of the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library. "I think this vote threw light on an opportunity for us. I look at the close vote as an opportunity to get into the community and get people to hear the message of what we do. It's all on us to do this."
The primary reason for including the referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot was due to a proportinately low annual contribution the township has been making to the library. Currently, New Garden Township makes up 28 percent of the population of the eight municipality areas that are served by the library, about 18 percent of its cardholders, as well as 23 percent of the library's assessed property values – all of which factor into what the township is supposed to kick back to the library every year.
According to the library's fair share calculations, New Garden is supposed to be responsible for 8.5 percent of the library's annual total budget, but only funds 1.3 percent to the library every year. In recent years, the township has given the library $10,500 in annual contributions; this year, they increased that figure to $12,000 -- about one dollar per resident.
Murray plans to refer to the close referendum vote when she and her colleagues appeal to the New Garden supervisors for the township's annual funding. Eventually, Murray said that she would like to see New Garden provide its fair share figure of $66,000 per year, but would accept a contribution for half of that.
Murray said that the vote told her and her colleagues that the voting results of the referendum was a clear indication that the library needs to increase its presence in the township. One idea being looked at involves placing a book drop box at the township building on Starr Road, which would enable cardmembers of the library to deposit borrowed books closer to home. She also mentioned that she and her staff will brainstorm ideas for future programming in the township.
"My whole time here since I became director has been spent making the library valuable in the community," Murray said. "I feel that we're doing that. We're changing with the times, and adding value. Now, we need to communicate, not only to New Garden and not only because of this vote, but to all of the communities we serve."

With the advent of the Internet age, more and more information is coming into contact with consumers, and consumers' consumption patterns are also escalating. More and more people are no longer pursuing popular brands, but are eyeing some niche brands. The market for niche brands opened.
The small-scale branding is not only the return of people's consumption concept, but also the inevitable development of the market under the new situation.
In recent years, brand customization has quietly become a reality. Stars attend events and no longer fight brands. Some luxury goods that have taken the popular route in the past have also given up seeking for success and have taken a niche route, specifically meeting individual consumer demands with personalized products. Small-scale, it is becoming a new consumer concept.
The small-scale branding is not only the return of people's consumption concept, but also the inevitable development of the market under the new situation. Niche brands have effectively deployed market resources and have also redefined the market with socialization.
Internet Makes Niche Brands Trend
The development of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, has diversified the traditional marketing methods while allowing people to diversify their shopping channels. Many traditional sales markets have been diverted and marketing channels have been weakened. But it is this weakening that has promoted market segmentation. The decentralization of marketing has caused some brands to lose their market, and some brands have found the market. These brands often win with distinctive features and rely on their unique personality to specialize in a certain market or a certain consumer group and quickly gain development.
Under the impact of the Internet, the operation of physical stores has become more and more difficult. Store rental, personnel costs have become higher and higher, and the proportion of operating costs has gradually increased. Convergence and differentiation of brand styles have decreased, which has caused the loss of consumers while at the same time weakening the brand competitiveness of physical stores. Under such circumstances, the physical store is the only way to develop the physical store brand in order to gain development and pursue brand personalization.
On the other hand, in foreign countries, in the mature consumer markets like Paris or Milan, small professional physical stores have survived despite the impact of supermarkets. Why? These physical stores have their own ways of survival. They either the warm interior decoration of the store, or the careful placement of products, or the immersive shopping experience attracts customers and allows customers to pay for goods that cost 20% more than supermarkets.
Looking at the development of foreign e-commerce brands, the brand aims at a certain part of the crowd, attracts customers with a brand with rich characteristics, and only takes a personalized route and does not take the price route. This will not only guarantee a stable customer, but also guarantee a higher premium for the product.
It can be seen that the pursuit of popularization has been difficult to meet the needs of the market, and it has also become an obstacle to the development of some brands. In the new market development environment, it has become difficult for brands to earn most people's money. They can only aim at some people, cater to their preferences and meet their needs, so as to ensure the development of the brand.
Consumer Community Drives Brand Minorization
The recognition comes from the same interests and hobbies. Niche brands cater to some people's interests and hobbies. They win the recognition of this group of people, gain brand influence, and have a market.
In the Internet society, people's social methods are becoming more and more Internet-based. Social tools are a large magnetic field that attracts countless people who have gathered together for the same social tools and become a large community. In this large community, each individual is a small magnetic field, and people around the same person who have the same interest gather to form a small community.
Niche brands bring together people with different dimensions of common interests, common values, and common lives. These people gather to form a community around niche brands. There is a saying that everybody has a tribal complex in mind, and the niche brand is inspiring the people's tribal complex and placing a unique emotional appeal on the niche brand, making the niche brand a hobby.

Complete TUBE mining guide
What is mining and why is it important?
Cryptocurrency mining is an activity that secures a blockchain network. Miners dedicate vast amounts of computing power using CPUs, GPUs and specialized hardware to solve the hash that belongs to the next block of the chain. This is called 'finding a block' and miners earn a reward for their effort. Miners compete against each other to find the most blocks. Those who commit more hashing power will find more blocks in a statistically deterministic fashion. For TUBE and most other CryptoNight coins, the difficulty of finding the next block is adjusted continuously so blocks are found roughly every 120 seconds.
Mining secures the network because a malicious actor will require the majority of the network hash rate to attempt to manipulate transactions in a so-called '51% attack'. The bigger the network, the more expensive it is to execute such an attack. Additionally, more miners mean that the block reward will be shared among more users, reducing profitability and increasing the production cost and therefore arguably the inherent (thermodynamic) value of the coin.
Should I be mining?
Mining TUBE is only profitable on GPUs (graphics cards) depending on electricity cost. The proof-of-work is memory-intensive and cards with 4 GB VRAM or more are required for good performance. For the current mining profitability of coins, check out https://www.cryptunit.com.
It is not recommended to mine on laptops or tablet devices. Mining uses considerable power and portable devices like these are not built for 24/7 sustained workloads. They lack proper cooling and you run the risk of overheating resulting in a reduced lifespan.
What are mining pools?
Furthermore, as more people start mining a certain coin, it becomes increasingly difficult for small miners to compete with the rest of the network. Since actual blocks found by small miners will be far and few between, block reward payouts become very irregular. This is why mining pools exist. Here, a large number of miners bundle their hashing power to find blocks for the pool, while each miner receives regular payouts corresponding to their relative contribution of hashing power. This ensures that small miners will receive regular payouts, whether they find blocks or not.
You can find a list of active TUBE mining pools here. All pools have roughly the same layout. They provide instructions on how to start mining under 'Get started' or similar. Each pool allows you to calculate mining profits based on your hash rate and track your payout history and mining statistics by filling in your wallet address.
How are rewards configured? Is there halving?
Block reward depends on how many TUBE coins have been mined already: the gradual increase in circulating supply will gradually reduce the block reward. Emission decrease is smooth: there is no halving for TUBE.
Block reward will be reduced also when the block size is bigger than a certain threshold. When this happens, you will see a reward-penalty in the block information.
You can check the latest block reward in the BitTube Blockchain Explorer.
Please see our Github repository if you want to know what the current configuration of any specific parameter is in our blockchain.
How to mine TUBE?
Download the miner
You can mine TUBE with several software packages:
- Official BitTube miner (recommended): https://github.com/ipbc-dev/bittube-miner/releases OS support: Windows, Mac, Linux. Based on xmr-stak, the configuration is similar. CUDA support for Nvidia users (126.96.36.199+).
- xmr-stak by fireice: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases OS support: Windows. 2% developer fee. CUDA support for Nvidia users (2.4.6+).
- Other third-party miners: CastXMR, SRB Miner, xmrigCC,… Find the download links at https://mining.bittubeapp.com/#getting_started
Setup the miner
This guide will focus on the official BitTube miner. The installation and configuration are largely identical to the xmr-stak miner by fireice. However, the latter does not feature a beginner-friendly non-expert option to start mining directly to the web wallet.
Expert mode: setting everything up yourself
Tutorial video done by BitTube community: How-To Mine BitTube on XMR STAK 2.4.7
Edit configuration of the miner.
Inside the installation folder, you will now find additional text files storing your configuration: config.txt, cpu.txt, pools.txt and amd.txt/nvidia.txt, expert.json.
If something went wrong with the setup process and you need to start over, you can simply delete all these configuration text files and run bittube-miner.exe again.
Setting startup parameters (optional)
Mining TUBE is only efficient on GPUs. To make sure your CPU cores are not mining too, you can disable CPU support using a batch file with startup parameter –noCPU (two dashes).
- Create a new file named start_nocpu.bat using notepad.
- Save As → All types.
start /b bittube-miner –noCPU
If you are an AMD user, it is recommended to include additional driver-related parameters to the batch file to improve performance, like so:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1 setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
start /b bittube-miner –noCPU
For xmr-stak, the advice is the same and you should just change "bittube-miner" to "xmr-stak" inside the batch file.
Checking your hash rate and pool payments.
When the miner is running, pressing h will display your current hash rate. To check your pending balance and payout history of the pool, navigate to the pool web page and enter your wallet address under Your Stats and Payment History.
The pending balance will be paid when the pool-specific payout threshold is reached. Under Last Share Submitted, it should indicate whether your shares are being accepted successfully.
The following errors are quite common:
- MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed.
- Error CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES when calling clEnqueueNDRangeKernel for kernel 0.
Make sure your OS's virtual memory (page file) is at least the total amount of VRAM of all graphics cards combined. For example, 4x 8GB RX 580s will require a 32GB page file to avoid this error.
For Windows machines:
→ Control Panel → System and Security → System → Advanced system settings → Advanced tab → Performance → Settings → Advanced tab → Virtual memory → Change → Custom size → Set → OK → Reboot (mandatory)

National Safe Boating Council and West Marine Partner to Raise Awareness of Boating Safety During the Month of May
MANASSAS, Va. (April 30, 2019) – The National Safe Boating Council (NSBC), a national catalyst for recreational boating safety, has partnered with West Marine to raise awareness of the importance of responsible boating during National Safe Boating Week held May 18-24. Throughout the month of May customers can purchase a West Marine "Wear It" paper life jacket in all West Marine stores. All proceeds will support the NSBC and West Marine's BlueFuture to further their combined mission of promoting boating and life jacket safety to boaters.
"We're committed to teaching boaters that the best boating experience is a safe boating experience and encouraged by West Marine's BlueFuture efforts to instill safe boating habits in boaters at an early age," said Peg Phillips, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council.
West Marine's BlueFuture annually distributes much-needed grants to nonprofit organizations dedicated to getting kids on the water through boating, fishing, paddling and the marine sciences. This past year, 50 organizations received support from the BlueFuture grant program.
"The National Safe Boating Council is committed to ensuring boaters stay safe while they're on the water. By partnering with them, it is not only our goal to generate a greater awareness of wearing a life jacket, but also to educate boaters on the importance of safe boating habits," said Laura Barry, director of marketing communications at West Marine.
National Safe Boating Week kicks off with Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day on Friday, May 17. This annual event is a fun, educational way to heighten life jacket awareness and highlight the various styles. All boating enthusiasts are encouraged to wear their life jacket to work, snap a picture, and share their photo on social media with the hashtags #lifejacket2work and #safeboating.
In addition, many West Marine stores are featuring free events on boating safety throughout the month of May. To find an event near you, visit westmarine.com/store-finder.

One of Washington's largest AVAs, the Horse Heaven Hills is home to 25 percent of the state's vineyard acreage. The region is coveted for its excellent growing conditions, which include ample sunshine and wind for even ripening and disease prevention, respectively. The growers who farm in the Horse Heaven Hills are a special bunch, and over the last decade they've produced four wines rated 100 points by Wine Spectator.
When the AVA's Wine Growers Association approached us in February to support its public relations efforts, we were thrilled. As part of our strategy, we organized a press trip just prior to the organization's annual July Trail Drive event. We invited a select group of regional media to explore the Horse Heaven Hills AVA with the goal of generating increased awareness and coverage.

This past weekend was my sixth Taste Washington weekend in Seattle. As usual, it was a fantastic event -- particularly the seminars which bring together top media and industry panelists, fabulous wines and the opportunity to taste in a more structured setting. The grand tasting was wonderful, too, given the breadth of exciting wines, chance to connect with clients and industry folk.
Below are my notes from the two seminars I attended; Janel will share hers in a future post:
Washington versus the World
This seminar paired five Washington wines with five wines from France, Australia and Napa. What a treat!
1999 Woodward Canyon Special Selection
Deep blackberry, black cherry, graphite, vanilla; chalky tannins. Some hints of rosemary and celery root. Still quite youthful; beautifully integrated. Smooth! Long life ahead of this wine...
2000 Leoville Las Cases
Dear God. A damn fine St. Julien. Cassis, blackberry, spice rack; subtle yet complex in the way a French wine can be; oregano, dried cherry and lots of depth in the palate. Mineral note at finish. Still pretty tight and much less fruit-forward compared to Washington. (At this point I was loving the tasting but also feeling odd comparing them because they are not really comparable -- it's like two amazing but very different musical scores. Doesn't matter which one is better because both are amazing. That's why you can ask for more than one glass at a table!)
2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon
Very juicy black fruit with hi-toned cassis note. Quite round on the palate with good, chalky tannin. Youthful. Not my style of wine, actually.
2005 Cos d'Estournel
Coffee grinds, butterscotch, mocha. Not your typical Bordelaise approach. Silky with great, smooth, depth; some graphite at palate with chalkiness and long, tannic finish. This is complex and very special. Seems in between new and old world (I couldn't quite place this wine because even though I knew it was the Bordeaux, it didn't present that way.)
2005 Araju Eisele VIneyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Very concentrated black fruit, graphite, curing tobacco; ripe with silky tannins.
2010 Betz La Cote Patriarche
Youthful -- nearly felt like California even though I knew it was from Washington. Cinnamon, blackberry pie; big concentration -- just a baby; slight cured meat character but mostly hidden by youthful fruit. There is luscious weight here that just doesn't quit.
2009 The Standish
I don't have much experience with Aussie wines because I tend to find them to be huge fruit monsters and I prefer some complexity with other aromas and flavors. This wine was awesome. Super youthful with great depth; forest floor, black cherry, pepper; nice velvety palate.
2010 Avennia Syrah
Wow! Black cherry, concentrated pepper, hi toned graphite; silky with some exciting zippy acidity and good, prominent rich fruit. Integrated. Un peu d'animal -- makes me want more. Would love to see this wine again in 10 years. Palate weight is just wow. Damn. Will be thinking about this for awhile.
2006 M. Chapoutier Ermitage le Meal
I'm usually the Francophile who loves the "stank" of the old world. This wine had stewed tomato (too much), bay leaf, caramel, cured meats and lots of cherry. Nice complexity but just not my style -- definitely needed food -- like a very stinky cheese. Not sure if this is/was typical but seemed on its way out.
Yakima Valley 30th Anniversary
I've been to Yakima a few times to judge the Washington State Fair, but must admit I had no idea! Yakima is "the craddle of the Washington industry and has been growing grapes for over 100 years". It is also home to 12,000 acres of vineyards or about one third of the state's acreage, 75% of the hops produced in our country and the number one producer of mint.
This area is also home to the sub-appellations of Rattlesnake Hills, Red Mountain and Snipes Mountain. There are some incredible vineyards here including Boushey, Red Willow, Ciel du Cheval and more.
Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut Rose
DSM is the state's largest grower of Pinot Noir which is used in this wine. Lovely red apple, rose, cranberry and a nice, creamy palate. Heck of a value!
2010 Owen Roe Red Willow Blend
Inky blakcberry, black cherry pie, basil, a little toffee; smooth, bright with cocoa at palate -- it just feels good in the mouth; mouth-filling yet somehow balanced; rich with a little touch of brown sugar on the finish.
2010 Betz La Serenne Syrah
Little bit of an old world style. Black peppercorn, fresh oregano, white pepper and black fruit; more angular; very youthful and juicy but with balancing minerality; very focused nose -- if an aroma could have a texture, this would. Intriguing wine.
2010 Smasne Cellars Ancient Rocks Rhone Blend
Chalky, raspberry jam, dried cherry and nutmeg -- great aromas; really nice complexity on the palate with a velveteen texture; little mid-palate mineral and coffee note on the finish. Love it!
2009 DeLille Harrison Hill Red Blend
A Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine with hi-toned blackberry, roasted red pepper, garlic butter and raspberry. Long finish with rich fruit throughout palate -- it just goes and goes. There is subtle slately character.
2010 Soos Creek Ciel du Cheval Red Blend
Blackberry puree, fresh leather and oregano, sweet black cherry; juicy and huge on palate; slately/mineral on mid-palate with clean finish. Delicious.
San Diego Favorites
I recently had the pleasure of judging the San Diego International Wine Competition. In three tasting sessions over two days, nearly 150 wines passed through my palate (lots of spitting, of course) including Barbera, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Petit Syrah, Chardonnay, Viognier and white blends. I judged alongside Gary Eberle, the father of Paso Robles and owner of Eberle Winery, and Ed Moore, owner of Southern California's The 3rd Corner Wine Bar and Bistro. Gary's wine are beautiful -- consistent, balanced, and focused. I haven't yet been to one of Ed's three locations, but from speaking with other judges, I know I'd like his concept; he's one of the foremost wine experts in Southern California.
Judges are brought into panels to express their individual opinions about each of the wines we taste. We are tasked with finding the good in each wine, evaluating its overall structure, varietal characteristics (or lack there of) and making a decision as to its merit. We also need to be on the look out for flawed wines. And do all of this relatively quickly -- you'll see that my notes are more short-hand than full wine review.
So there is always lively discussion among panels. For the most part, the three of us were in sync; thankfully, when we weren't, the conversation remained respectful.
Below is a list of wines and tasting notes that appealed to me. These may or may not coincide with Gold medal winning wines.
Eberle 2011 Viognier, Mill Road Vineyard, Paso Robles, CA $20
Pretty tropical fruit with abundant peach; floral; very nice balance (Gold)
Frank Family 2011 Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California $35

Fetzer 2010 Valley Oaks Zinfandel, California, $9
Raspberry, tinge of herbal; good balance with some nice acidity to balance fruit.
Barefoot NV Zinfandel, California, $7
We taste blind, but this one is especially nice for the price. Blackberry, pepper, cherry; fruity and fun.
Chatom 2009 Syrah, Calaverus County, $23
Cougar Crest 2009 Syrah, Walla Walla, WA, $34
Sopressata, blackberry, forest floor and pepper. Loved this wine!
Calcareous Vineyard 2009 Syrah, Paso Robles, CA, $36
Raspberry, black cherry; juicy with little mineral and mint. Fabulous.
Double Crossing 2010 Petit Sirah, Dry Creek, CA, $29
Deep raspberry jam, fresh leather and tobacco box notes. Quite yummy.
Green Truck 2010 Petit Sirah, Mendocino, CA, $12
Raspberry, leather, baking spice, herbal notes and slight curing tobacco aromas; balanced.
Crooked Vine 2009 Petit Sirah, Livermore Valley, CA, $34
More subtle approach (there were some that were just monsters so this was a positive), blackberry and blueberry fruit with touch of herbal notes and balanced acidity.
Rodney Strong 2009 Merlot, Sonoma, CA, $18
Smoke, plum, cedar, eucalyptus; balanced with just a slight bitter quality that dissipates.
Bonterra 2010 Merlot, Mendocino, $16
Raspberry, plum, spice rack; juicy on palate with solid tannin structure.
Nello Olivo 2009 Barbera, El Dorado County, CA, $28
Juicy raspberry, black cherry, herbal with good acid lift.

Plum, prune, mint and raspberry; finishes a little light but overall a very nice effort.
Eberle 2010 Barbera, Paso Robles, CA, $28
Deep cherry, hay, raspberry; nice balance and crushed floral component on finish. (This was our first wine so it was great to start off the tasting with something so well done.) Our panel voted silver but for the record, I had it as a gold plus and possibly platinum.

Since my last blog post, I heard back from Santa via voicemail. His tone told me he was not too pleased with my inquiry about pricing. He stated that the invoice I'd received was correct -- that I'd actually been given a better deal, and he wasn't sure how that had happened. That I could call back.

Where Time is a Frequency and Space is a Holographic Unity
Well, today I begin a new wavespell in my Destiny Castle on the same solar seal as my Kin. It's a new 13-year journey, ending my Monkey Wavespell.
Is it any coincidence that as I begin this Warrior Wavespell in my life, I am suddenly receiving tons of information about the war in Syria and the chemical warfare that's going on.

Remember this post when I showed you a peek at this painting? I finally put the finishing touches on it over the weekend and I have been so excited to share it with you!
The story of this painting started about a month ago when I came across a big life decision. I thought I was feeling fine about everything, but as "the moments" came closer and closer and I had to put my decisions to action, I started to be filled with worry. What if this isn't the right decision? What will this mean for my life? What changes will it bring?, etc. It's not really important to go into details, but lets just say, I worried myself sick! ...I literally felt physically sick on top of the terrible feelings inside. (Anybody else ever feel this way?)
Then as I began to pray about it, I realized that I tried to handle the entire situation, feelings, decision and all.....on my own. I hadn't really been praying about it, asking for help and wisdom or resting in the peace of Christ. My sweet Lord reminded me one early Monday morning on my couch of a beautiful old hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour". I had sung it many times in my childhood growing up in church, but it had never meant more to me than in these moments. It was the truth that I needed to be reminded of....I can't do it....only Christ can...and I NEED Him in every moment.
I felt so inspired to paint about this experience so that I would have a physical reminder and so that I could share my story with you. So, I started with a little research about the hymn itself. As it turns out, it was written my Annie Hawks. This woman is someone I could absolutely related to! She was just a normal woman, doing her daily chores at home and realized just how much she needed Christ in every moment. She actually wrote from a place of happy circumstances! Her words were written based on John 15: 4-5,
"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
Annie Hawk later wrote," I remember well the circumstances under which I wrote the hymn. It was a bright June day, and I became so filled with the sense of the nearness of my Master that I began to wonder how anyone could live without Him, in either joy or pain. Suddenly, the words I need Thee every hour, flashed into my mind, and very quickly the thought had full possession of me."
This painting is now hanging by my mirror so that each morning I can be reminded of the amazing truth that I need Christ EVERY hour.
happy monday!

ROXBURY – Three Litchfield County representatives from the Woodbury-based charity The Denan Project recently returned from Mongolia, where they met with staff and patients of a new hospital to which the charity provides critical support.
and president of the project and long-term Roxbury resident, made the
trip with Washington residents Jeffrey Barist and Richard Wool as well
as other TDP volunteers.
The hospital is in Tariat, an isolated
village approximately 400 miles from Ulan Bator, the country's capital.
The new hospital replaced a dilapidated 1960's Soviet-built facility.
The journey, made by four-wheel drive trucks, across dirt roads and
rutted tracks, took 17 hours of hard driving, following a nearly 24-hour
long trip by plane.
The Denan Project, established by Young in
2004, provides health care, education and other critical assistance to
highly disadvantaged people living in poor, remote areas of Mongolia,
Ethiopia, Peru and Burkina Faso, giving medical services free-of-charge
to more than 50,000 people treated annually.
The charity has been
critical in moving the Mongolian government to recognize the need for a
new hospital and allocate the necessary resources. Working with its
partner, Save The Children Japan-Mongolia, the Denan Project has
provided funds necessary to purchase essential medicines, provide heat
in winter (when temperatures can reach 40 degrees below) and materials
for public-health initiatives.
Educational materials have been
written in Mongolian and distributed by local medical personnel to
people without the most rudimentary knowledge of the harmful effects of
smoking, alcohol-consumption and a diet consisting of mainly fatty meat
and dairy products.
"It was extremely gratifying to see the
fruits of The Denan Project's efforts in Mongolia," said Young. "TDP was
founded 10 years ago to help bring isolated, rural communities access
to free medical care, as well as to provide education, agriculture,
water resource development, food security, and microcredit loans. The
importance of medical facilities and services like these can't be
The immediate Tariat area has a population of
approximately 3,000, but the hospital serves more than 30,000 people
annually, most of them coming from outlying areas.
Through the
support of The Denan Project, health problems have been greatly reduced.
In fact, at a meeting with Gandiimaa Riimaasdi, the director of the
Provincial Department of Health and Hospitals, TDP volunteers learned
that infant and child mortality rates have decreased by 150 percent
since TDP involvement began in 2010.
"What I saw was a real
partnership, where western philanthropy was being well used by dedicated
indigenous practitioners," Barist said.
Richard Wool added,
"What impressed me most was the incredible accomplishment of the The
Denan Project in helping to bring quality health care and dietary
information to a region where it never existed."
"I am extremely
proud to point out that 97 percent of TDP's funds to go directly to its
projects," Young said. "Our all-volunteer organization has no overhead
costs and minimal expenses, and TDP's supporters pay their own way to
make visits to our charity's various projects around the world. Only
through our supporters' generous contributions can we make such a real
and impactful change, even on the other side of the globe."
Young said that as proud as he is of the group's accomplishments over the past 10 years, much work is still needed.
Although the new hospital is a great improvement over the previous one,
it still lacks central plumbing as well as important medical equipment
such as an autoclave to sterilize vital surgical instruments," he said.
"Anyone interested in donating or becoming a volunteer in our
organization would be most welcome to speak to me or my fellow travelers
about our charity's work and the meaningful change it is bringing to
some of the world's most impoverished and isolated communities."
Young encouraged readers to visit www.thedenanproject.org or to contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Denan Project is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization based in Woodbury
with the mission of providing health care, education and other critical
assistance to highly disadvantaged people living in poor, remote areas
of Ethiopia, Peru, Burkina Faso, and Mongolia.

Treatment Update: April/May 2016
It's about that time again. Time for a treatment update. I actually don't believe I ever did an update when my IV's changed in January but we will discuss that in a moment. I figured this would be the perfect time for a treatment update not only because my treatment has changed, but also because… Continue reading Treatment Update: April/May 2016

Corset Q & A Episode 66: Should I Wait to Order My Corset Until I Hit My Goal Weight?
Do you have a question about steel boned corsets, waist training or corseting? The answer is probably somewhere in our Corset Q & A series.
Should I Wait to Order My Corset Until I Hit My Goal Weight?
Welcome to the new year and new goals! One of the most popular goals for Americans is weight loss and adding in regular exercise. So a common question for our Customer Service and on Social Media, is, "Should I wait until I hit my goal weight before ordering a corset?" As Renee says in the video, "that depends." This is a personal question, the answer changes depending on what you would like to get out of your corset. Many of our customers love our steel boning for active waist training that cinches in your waist, but without exercise and a healthy diet, it will be a temporary fix. On the other hand, you could use a corset to help on your weight loss journey. A corset places external pressure on your stomach area, and if you have ever tried overeating with a corset on…you will know that it isn't fun! A corset can definitely help if overeating is a problem for you. So if you are like me, who tends to snack all day at work, or at home when bored, a corset may help limit that and aid in weight loss. The only downside is that as you lose weight, you may need to size down in your corset, so the corset that cinched your waist in 3-4 inches a few months ago might actually be able to lace fully closed after you lose a few pounds! So again, its about what you are looking for. If you are on a budget and want to actively waist train, then maybe wait until you reach your goal weight then get into corseting. But if you would like an extra tool to help in losing weight (by helping you stick to smaller portion sizes) then corseting along the way would be perfect!
We hope this Q & A provides you with information about corsets as a tool in weight loss and waist training! Please let us know in the comments if there are any questions that you'd like to see answered in our Corset Q & A series.

Often refuses their money.|The Heart<ref>[[The Heart/Quotes (Dishonored 2)#Alexandria Hypatia|''"She cares for the patients, treats them with compassion. Often refuses their money."'']]</ref>}} '''Doctor Alexandria Hypatia''' is a character in ''[[Dishonored 2]]''. She is the chief alchemist of the [[Addermire Institute]] in [[Karnaca]] and the inventor of the [[Addermire Solution]].<ref>''[[Dishonored: The Corroded Man]]'', p. 65</ref> ==Biography== Hypatia was a friend of [[Theodanis Abele]], the previous Duke of Karnaca. Recognizing her talent, [[Luca Abele]] forcibly confined her to her workplace, the Addermire Institute. Although the public was told that Hypatia did not leave Addermire in order to create a new serum against the [[Bloodflies|bloodfly]] fever, Hypatia was in truth a prisoner of Abele. She was renowned not just for creating the Addermire Solution but for helping the miners recover from the dangers of Karnaca's [[Stilton Mines|silver mines]]. During her efforts, Hypatia tested an early version of her serum on herself which created a split persona inside her head: [[The Crown Killer|Grim Alex]]. During the events of ''Dishonored 2'', this process has been going on for at least three years. Hypatia was not aware of these changes, and did not fully understand why the Duke gradually restricted her to Addermire Institute, when she was perfectly willing to spend most of her time there anyway, all but abandoning her apartment above the [[Businesses#Winslow Safe Company|Winslow Safe]] store outside Addermire Station. ==''[[Dishonored 2]]''== Upon reaching the institute, [[Corvo Attano]] or [[Emily Kaldwin]] first encounter Hypatia doing her work, disoriented and exhibiting strange behavior by expressing her incorrect belief that someone is calling her. She asks to be left alone, which allows for closer inspection of the room she is working in. By either talking to a dying Doctor [[Bartholomeus Vasco]], listening to an [[Audiographs|audiograph]], [[Possession|possessing]] Hypatia, [[Mesmerize|mesmerizing]] her or attacking her, it is revealed that she is [[the Crown Killer]]. The Crown Killer can either be killed right away, or the protagonist can follow Vasco's advice and develop a counter-serum for Hypatia's condition by finding and following the instructions for his formula. If Hypatia's condition is cured, she is invited onboard the ''[[Dreadful Wale]]'' to recuperate. She accepts the invitation and can be found onboard after the mission, and will remain there for some time. Before she departs later on, she records [[Dr. Hypatia's Farewell|an audiograph]], stating that her mind has cleared and how she can now freely focus on helping those in need, lastly sending her utmost thanks for helping her. Depending on the protagonist's choices, Hypatia can become a member of the [[Armando|new Duke's]] or Corvo's grand council in low chaos if she is saved at Addermire. == [[Dishonored: Death of the Outsider|''Dishonored: Death of the Outsider'']] == It is revealed that Hypatia has once more been put in charge of Addermire Institute. Knowing the side-effects a continuous subjection to Addermire Serum can have, Hypatia calls back all phials of the serum to the Institute and also offers health check-ups to all those who used the serum. ==Trivia== *Alexandria Hypatia is voiced by Jessica Strauss. *The [[Dishonored 2 Achievements|achievements]] [[The Beast Within]] and [[Counter-Serum]] can both be achieved by dealing with Hypatia. The former is earned by eliminating the Crown Killer in any fashion, the latter by talking to Hypatia aboard the ''Dreadful Wale'', meaning she must have been cured. *Hypatia's doctorate was ratified by the Convocation of Etiology, approved by the Alchemical Council and validated by the Chamber of Smoke and Iron. The certificate, which stated she had passed all the requirements, including the Trials of Mineralogy and the Four Forgotten Scrutinies, was issued in [[Dunwall]] on the 28th Day, [[Calendar|Month of Clans]], [[Timeline#1830|1838]]. *On the 12th Day, Month of Earth, 1847 she was awarded with the Grand Medal of Merit by the Duke of Serkonos, Theodanis Abele, for "her sustained and ingenious contributions to the field Natural Philosophy and its medical applications". *Her name, and to an extent, occupation, are references to [[wikipedia:Hypatia|Hypatia of Alexandria]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Kamilla_Thierry/status/816408502172286978 Developer Commentary - Hypatia]</ref> *Hypatia's fame, and that of the Addermire Institute, was such that, apart from emergency cases, there was a two month wait to be able to see her. *If Hypatia is killed, the [[Grand Palace]] releases a statement painting her as the Crown Killer's victim.<ref>[[Beloved Doctor Murdered]]</ref> *If Emily or Corvo attacks Hypatia before she becomes Grim Alex, she will not die, instead transforming into the Crown Killer. This remains true even for actions which would normally kill instantly, such as drop assassinations. *If the protagonist uses [[Dark Vision]] near Hypatia or Grim Alex in the Addermire Institute, they will see an aura surrounding her, similar to the scent detection sphere utilized by [[wolfhounds]]. ==Gallery== <gallery position="center" captionalign="center"> AlexandriaHypatia2.png|Hypatia working in her lab.

Noise and Quiet Hours
In order to contribute to an atmosphere conducive to study, devotion and sleep, resident students are expected to abide by and help enforce designated Quiet Hours. Quiet Hours in the residence halls are from 11:00pm – 8:00am daily, although, an individual's right for quiet study and sleep time always supersedes others' right to make excessive noise, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Musical instruments and amps are not to be used at all in the residence. Acoustic guitars are acceptable if the volume is confined. Aerobics are only to be done in the designated area of the Fitness Centre. Since the Providence campus is a diverse community with family residences, noise levels should also be kept at a respectful level when enjoying the outdoors.
