The party doesn't stop until the hangover kicks in.
Then you're stuck at home all day trying to recover from what feels like death. The last thing you remember was the pounding music, lights flashing everywhere, and people are raging. Now all you know is there's some dried up pizza in a box next to your bed, one slice somehow still in hand, and an empty bottle of who-knows-what on the counter. Life is rough, and let's not forget to mention a pounding headache you now have.
Now here's what you need to do. Forget the hot showers(even though you probably need one regardless) and the greasy foods. No more frantically googling how to get rid of a hangover. This hangover cure drink is all you need to never waste the day after a night out again. These specially formulated drinks are packed with electrolytes, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, milk thistle, prickly pear extract, and all that good stuff you need to stop from vomiting everywhere. And guess what? They're vegan.

Implications of a Potential Additional 25% Duty on US Soybean Imports into China – Winning and Losing Regions Beyond the US and China
A 25% duty on US soybeans is not yet a given, but the implications would be severe.
Facts and timing
- 22 March: US imposes duties on Chinese products, including 25% on steel.
- 23 March: China threatens to impose up to 25% duty on 128 US products, including pork.
- 3 April: US threatens to impose 25% duties on approximately 1,300 Chinese products, worth USD 50bn in imports.
- 4 April: China threatens to impose an additional 25% duty on 106 US products worth USD 50bn. Soybeans are included, alongside cotton, sorghum, wheat, beef, and corn. China said it seeks a truce but would retaliate if the US followed through on its proposal and that the timing will depend on the US decision, which is expected in six to eight weeks, because:
- a. The US 30-day public comment period will end on 4 May
- b. Followed by a US public hearing on 15 May, with final comments due on 22 May
- c. The US Administration might take up to three weeks before announcing the implementation.
The current trade imbalance is considerably in China's favour: exports to the US are valued at USD 505bn/yr, nearly 4 times the USD 130bn in US exports to China. If all proposed duties took effect, 40% of the US exports to China would be affected, but only 10% of China's exports to the US.
A 25% duty on US soybeans is not yet a given, but the implications would be severe
Soybean trade is crucial for China, which imports 90% of its requirements, including 34% from the US, an indispensable supplier. Still, the US also has an interest in avoiding duties as soybean exports to China represent a massive USD 14bn market to US farmers who currently face farm incomes at ten-year lows. However, the value of US G&O exports to China have fallen about 15% since 2014, and last year's soybean shipments to China were the second-lowest since 2012.
Yet, supplying China solely with soybeans from countries other than the US won't be easy. In 2018, Brazil has limited room to increase soybean exports significantly, while Argentina's crop is drought-reduced and Argentina typically exports soy meal rather than soybeans.
• An additional 25% duty on US soybeans will increase domestic soybean prices and thus also the prices of soy oil and soymeal;
• Chinese crushers cannot fully pass on the inflated costs downstream, and unless the government provides cash subsidies or VAT reductions to crushers, their margins are set to decline;
• Soybean imports potentially decline year-on-year and imports of substitutes like canola would rise;
• Soy crush capacity utilisation falls;
• Higher soymeal prices will lift the production costs of livestock farming, further squeezing margins, which again incentivises changes to feed formulas to somewhat lower soymeal usage.
The US
• US soybean prices likely to fall, to compensate for an additional 25% in duties to enter the world's number one importer;
• US soybean exports to China to decline, but partly offset by larger exports to e.g. EU and SEA;
• US soymeal exports to increase due to stronger meal demand from the rest of the world (ROW), which reduces buying from South America. However, growth limited by US export and crush capacity, which currently runs near capacity;
• Strong overseas meal demand and low soybean prices indicate strong crushing margins, however Chinese duties on US pork might cut US domestic soymeal demand;
• US soybean acreage to decline in the coming years, while corn rises.
South America
• South American soybean exports to China to rise considerably, boosting prices;
• Soymeal prices to rise to ensure continued crush and meal exports to the EU, SEA, and others, but this will weaken the price-competitive advantages of South America as the leading soymeal exporter;
• South American pork and poultry margins to suffer from higher feed costs, but pork exports might benefit from Chinese duties on US pork;
• Farmers to expand soybean acreage in the years ahead if the duty remains.
EU and South-East Asia
• Increased South American soymeal prices to result in substitution by higher imports of US soymeal and even more by higher imports of 'cheaper' US soybeans (as far as local crush capacity allows), while imports of South American soybeans will be cut as they move to China;
• Higher soymeal prices will cut livestock margins in SEA and the EU, although EU pork exports will benefit from replacing US exports to China as duties on US pork are implemented.
Long-term implications (if Chinese duties remain in place for multiple years)
Figure 1: China imports 60% of global soybeans; EU28 and SEA import 60% of soymeal; Argentina and Brazil export 60% of soy complex

The Condor/Volume 1/Number 5/The Nesting Haunts of the Black-throated Gray Warbler
The Nesting Haunts of the Black-throated Gray Warbler.
THE accompanying plate represents one of those charming bits of woodland which Messrs. Henry W. Carriger, John M. Welch and the writer were permitted to pass through in the Sierra Nevada Mts. early in June of this year. The camera has preserved the mere outlines of the scene, but the freshness and brilliancy of the morning and the ecstatic songs of the woods' feathered denizens are of necessity lacking. We were roaming aimlessly through the woods, following only such paths as fancy might dictate, when Mr. Carriger's attention was drawn to a neat, greyish nest on the drooping limb of a pine, to which a pair of Black-throated Gray Warblers presently claimed ownership. Being near a road-house a short ladder was secured later in the day and the set collected on its original limb.
Mr. Carriger contributes the following notes on this species from his '99 experiences: "The Black-throated Gray Warbler was probably the commonest warbler met with on our trip and a number of nests were located. Several were found in the deer brush (Ceanothus) at from five to nine feet up and two were placed in pines, one twelve feet up on a small limb (shown in the illustration) and another 52 feet up on a horizontal limb. The birds showed little anxiety and would fly off at our approach and remain near by, chirping occasionally. While photographing the nest both birds remained in the pine overhead but did not approach nearer than ten feet. While we often heard this warbler singing, few were noticed excepting on such occasions as when we collected a nest."
The scene portrayed in the plate is an ideal one of the open growths in the Sierras. It seems truly a transformation to step from the deep, dark timber where the reign of Silence is seldom broken and where the birds seem loath to commit the sacrilege of song, to the open hillsides where the carpet of luxuriant "mountain misery" is ever green, and where the sunlight sifts down in fantastic shafts through the pines and cedars with beautiful varied effects. Here the warblers and vireos pour forth their most exquisite songs and the creepers and nuthatches industriously gyrate up and down the oaks and pines while the woodpeckers and sapsuckers drum idly on the dead stubs. Here all bird life dwells in seeming harmony, and as recurrent thoughts carry one back to the hum-drum of city life I almost wish I might linger alway in this idyllic spot.

French private sector grows at fastest pace in more than 3 years in Feb
[PARIS] France's private sector rebounded in February to expand at the fastest rate in more than three years, despite continued weakness in manufacturing, a survey showed on Wednesday.
Confirming a preliminary Feb 20 "flash estimate", business consultancy Markit's composite purchasing managers' index jumped to 52.2 from 49.3 in January. That was the highest reading since August 2011 and topped the 50-point line - denoting growth - for the first time since April of last year.
In the services sector, the PMI activity index was confirmed at 53.4, also the highest reading since August 2011, thanks to strong new business and business prospects.
"Business expectations in the French service sector remained positive in the latest survey period. Furthermore, the degree of positive sentiment strengthened to the highest for just under three years," Markit said.
The upbeat news came despite a downturn in the manufacturing sector that worsened in February, according to a separate Markit survey released on Monday.

Does Value Investing (Still) Work?
August 27, 2018
It's typical for fast-growing companies to garner a lot of attention for their disruptive and ground-breaking technology and services. Because investors are often enamored by the optimistic forecasts for these "growth" stocks, they're generally more expensive than their slower-growing counterparts: "value" stocks. However, we believe investors sometimes overlook the tendency for growth stocks to underperform the cheaper value stocks.
From 1926-2018, value stocks outperformed growth stocks by 3.2% per year, shown below. While this average masks a lot of ups and downs, and in recent years they've been out of favor, we don't believe that this period of underperformance represents a break from what has proven to be the trend historically.
Source: Fama/French returns for portfolios formed on book-to-market (value-weighted).
Value investing, which can be defined as buying stocks that are priced attractively relative to their fundamentals, like earnings, is a strategy that has been successfully employed for a long time. Before value investing was cemented in academia by Eugene Fama and Kenneth French, iconic investors such as Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett embraced it. Today, there are hundreds of papers on the economic intuition and empirical evidence for value investing.
But despite their historical outperformance and academic support, value investing is often abandoned after severe or prolonged periods of underperformance. It's human nature to cut ties with recent losers that are causing discomfort and to chase winners that seem to have nowhere to go but up. This behavior has been described as the "fear and greed cycle," which has well-documented negative consequences for investors whose emotions spur buying at the highs and selling on the lows. We speak to the fear and greed cycle in more detail
All investment strategies cycle in and out of favor. No strategy succeeds anywhere near 100% of the time, especially over shorter periods of time. Although value has outperformed growth over the long term, when looking at one-year periods value has only outperformed growth a little more than half the time. Even on a 10-year basis, value stocks occasionally underperform, as seen below.
Source: Fama/French returns for portfolios formed on book-to-market (value-weighted).
Because disappointing performance is inevitable, it's vital that investors accept periodic discomfort as the price of admission to long-term investment success. Those who rely on recent performance, headlines, or forecasts will likely be whipsawed by market volatility. To stay the course and be in a better position to reap the anticipated long-term benefits of a value investment strategy, investors' convictions must lie in fundamentals, not erratic price swings or sentiment. Only then will they be securely anchored and able to withstand the influence of market turmoil.

TORONTO - For some time, Wayne Rooney's apparent decline as a footballer was a national obsession. Plotting the downfall of Manchester United and England's all-time leading scorer was an easy ploy for the media to sell papers and lure clicks.
It's different in North America. Although there were a few jeers when he was brought on, Rooney's 48th-minute introduction for D.C. United on Wednesday was dominated by sounds of appreciation from the Toronto FC crowd. The journalists were similarly supportive, putting questions to the visitors' captain that weren't designed to trip him up or scrutinize what he was doing there in the first place.
"No, there's noise obviously still there, which I'm sure everyone still sees so it's not really something I'm concerned about," Rooney told theScore when asked if he felt freed after leaving behind his homeland's often ruthless media.
"I think over here obviously it is different, it's a lot different to the media back home. I think there's a lot more respect between players and journalists over here in the States to what there is between players and journalists in England."
Sometimes Rooney's unshakeable adolescence emerges - his ugly tackle and dismissal against Los Angeles FC last month; how he slaps his legs in frustration when his teammates make wrong decisions or overhit passes - but, at 33, he's more valuable to a club than he's ever been.
Just how essential he is for D.C. United was demonstrated in his brief absence during Wednesday's goalless draw. Head coach Ben Olsen admitted postgame that fielding players with few first-team minutes and in an unfamiliar system had "set (them) up to fail," and Rooney's replacement, Quincy Amarikwa, looked wholly uncomfortable. The forward's feet were straddled and planted, and he looked unsure where to go, like a pensioner accosted by a gang of children on a bouncy castle.
After Rooney took Amarikwa's place, there was suddenly a focal point in D.C. United's frontline. They may have stolen a victory with better execution and awareness on counter-attacks.
"It starts to get dangerous if you start to play guys too much," Olsen explained of his overhauled XI in Toronto. "I've played a large number of guys a lot this year."
D.C. United were flagging when Rooney joined halfway through the 2018 campaign, but his form almost led them to the Eastern Conference semifinals and effectively ended the career of Darren Mattocks, now of FC Cincinnati, in the U.S. capital. Rooney's missed only one match - a suspension for that challenge against LAFC - since his MLS debut in mid-July of last year. He's tallied an impressive 18 goals and nine assists in 33 league appearances during his time stateside.
Not only is Amarikwa yet to impress - many D.C. United supporters wanted better backup for Rooney before last week's trade deadline - Luciano Acosta is also below his best. The 24-year-old Argentine is in the final year of his contract and, after a January transfer to Paris Saint-Germain fell apart, is seeking the help of a sports psychologist amid uncertainty over his future, according to journalists closest to the club's affairs. As a result, the output of one of the league's most potent duos has dipped as Rooney shoulders most of the attacking workload.
And the man regularly dubbed a spent force in his native England is topping his team for goals and assists.
"I think before the game, with the changes we made, we would've took a point," Rooney offered, clearly aware of his lofty standing at D.C. United. "And then, we've kept a few players fresh for Saturday. It only becomes a good point if we take three on Saturday."
When Rooney plundered goals for club and country back home, he was assisted by world-class talent. Right now, he has little choice but to do a lot of things on his own - and he's succeeding. Maybe this is how he plays when he feels wanted.

When Gerard Howard was arrested on suspicion of heroin possession, in 2015, the New Orleans district attorney's office had a problem. The syringe he was found with came back from the lab with no illegal substances detected.
Prosecutors wanted to convict Howard on paraphernalia charges but there was no proof the needle was intended to be used for anything illicit. So they started listening to phone calls between Howard and his then public defender, Thomas Frampton. They found one throwaway but interesting line.
Frampton asked Howard about his whereabouts in the jail system and Howard replied: "After detox or whatever … they just moved me to a different building."
With the word "detox" presented as context, and despite Frampton's pleas to the judge to not admit evidence he thought should have been considered a privileged conversation between client and attorney, the prosecution got a conviction.
"The attorney-client phone call ended up being the centerpiece of their case against my client," Frampton said. "Without the phone, they had no other evidence to meet their burden of proving that the needle in his pocket qualified as 'paraphernalia' under Louisiana law."
The trial was Frampton's first as a public defender in Louisiana and the only one he ever lost.
"It was a sobering introduction to the fact that some of the basic ideas we might have about the way the law works, the things you learn in law school or might assume from TV, often aren't the way things operate in Orleans parish," said Frampton. He now teaches law at Harvard.
According to advocates from Court Watch Nola (CWN), the city is indeed an outlier when it comes to monitoring inmates' calls. In a report released on Tuesday, CWN said that out of more than 45 cities it contacted, including New York, St Louis, Boston and Dallas, New Orleans stands alone in not providing for calls from inmates to attorneys' cellphones to be exempt from monitoring and recording. This is a "profound problem" for attorney-client privilege, the report says.
"No US supreme court case or provision of the US constitution has said that attorney-client privilege can only be obtained via a landline and not a cellphone, and neither is this distinction realistic in the 21st century," said CWN's executive director, Simone Levine.
'A plainly unconstitutional situation'
It is common practice for jails to monitor and record phone conversations. It allows jailers to keep tabs on plots to move contraband or escape. But in New Orleans, prosecutors in the office of DA Leon Cannizzaro, who have no responsibility for how the parish jail operates, appear to have unfettered access to such calls. For years this included all calls in and out, even if between client and attorney.
Pushed by CWN in 2017, Orleans parish relented and agreed to let attorneys register landlines that would not be recorded. But cellphones are expressly not eligible for protection.
"It has been clearly established for decades that jail detainees have the right to confidential telephone calls with their attorney," said David Fathi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project. "To the extent that this is not happening in Orleans parish or anywhere else, that is a plainly unconstitutional situation that needs to be remedied."
Fathi pointed to decisions including the appeals court case of US v Levy, which held that "free two-way communication between client and attorney is essential if the professional assistance guaranteed by the sixth amendment is to be meaningful". The sixth amendment provides the right to an attorney.
The majority of inmates have not yet been convicted but cannot afford bail. Studies have shown such defendants are at a disadvantage at trial over those who are out on bail. The ability of prosecutors to listen in on phone calls may be one reason why.
The problem for attorneys and clients is not just that prosecutors may try to admit elements of calls into evidence. It is also all the things prosecutors might learn and use to their benefit.
Nandi Campbell, a private defense attorney in New Orleans, remembers negotiating a plea for a client only for the prosecutor to explain that he knew how many years the client would be willing to take, because he had listened to his calls.
"That's when I completely cut off all calls," Campbell said. "It was just too risky."
Campbell does not have a landline associated with her practice. "The whole notion of landlines is kind of crazy, especially for attorneys who spend a lot of time in court," she said. Loth to use a cellphone, she therefore visits all her clients in person, which can take more than two hours since there are only three booths for "non-contact" visits.
Frampton encountered a similar issue as a public defender, where he typically had more than a hundred cases at any time.
"There simply aren't enough hours in the day for a public defender to visit with each of his or her clients in person," he said. "There is literally no way to provide meaningful representation for your clients given the case loads public defenders face, especially without private and confidential phone communication."
Regardless, according to the DA' s office the availability of booths and unmonitored landlines settles the question. "Because defense attorneys have two other readily available options by which to hold private/privileged conversations, there is no constitutional violation," said Ken Daley, a spokesman for the Orleans parish DA.
Daley added that it was up to defense attorneys to "take steps to ensure private conversations with a client are not recorded or monitored".
The report from CWN comes on the heels of others about the DA's office, which was criticized last year for using "material witness warrants" to arrest and jail crime victims so as to secure their testimony in trial. It is facing a related lawsuit.
Shortly thereafter, the Lens Nola revealed the office was sending false subpoenas to potential witnesses to pressure them into talking, a move observers called "unethical, if not illegal". The office said it would stop sending such notices.

Phone tree to alert illegals about ICE by South Bend Indiana mayor?
South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg reportedly helped create an alert system that would notify families if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided his residents' homes or businesses.
The "phone tree," according to The Daily Beast on Wednesday, was one of several actions Buttigieg took to protect illegal immigrants in his town. Phone trees consist of an automated calling system that helps spread messages quickly and efficiently.
Those would presumably help alert immigrants to the type of surprise raids that resulted in nearly 700 arrests in Mississippi.
His approach to immigration came under legal scrutiny when Judicial Watch, a right-leaning organization, sued the city over a "Community Resident Card" program that Buttigieg reportedly developed with the help of La Casa, a left-wing, pro-immigration group.

Dating 101: Goals Over Bros
This week has been hectic. I not only started classes, I also changed my major, signed a lease for next year, created a new project at work – and started researching internships.
Dating 101: Beating Break up SeasonAs you all probably know by now, I went through not one, but two breakups this year. As a girl who has only been in two serious relationships, this means that I spent most of the year broken hearted. According to a recent study by Yahoo!, we have officially ended break-up season. Basically, the study
Dating 101: Taking it Slow?I'm can't lie: I thought this day would never come. The day when I finally decide that I'm okay about my last breakup – and willing to accept a date from a male. Yes, that's right. I went out last night and had dinner with a boy. It was completely harmless – super-friendly and not
Dating 101: Is it ever okay to cheat?That boy I dated this past year really did seem like "the one". Not in a cheesy, oh-my-god-we're-gonna-get-married-after-knowing-each other-a-week way. More in the this-is-the-first-guy-who-has-ever-really-understood-me way. We had a lot in common: from our major, to our outlook on life, to weird little quirks like having milk with every meal (Hell-o! Doritos and milk are a
Dating 101: Single during Santa Season? Not so bad, it seems.I have been home approximately three days , roughly 72 hours, and let me say, it's already been an absolute whirlwind of alcohol, presents, family and old friends. I think I've experienced every emotion possible: from nostalgia, to anger, to happiness, to anxiety and back again. The holidays, for me, have translated into a ridiculous
Dating 101: Dealing with Rejection – GracefullyI found this blog a little hard to write today. Maybe it's the nasty weather, or the fact that I haven't slept more than three hours a night this week, but most likely it's the fact that I am still beating myself up over my most recent breakup. Although I did the initial rejecting, I
Dating 101: Crazy Blind Dating"Are you feeling adventurous?" boasts the main page of CrazyBlindDate.com, a website dedicated to just that – crazy, spontaneous blind dates.
The creators say that although "online dating sites are okay, sometimes you just want to go out immediately, with reckless abandon."
Dating 101: Ho-Ho-Holiday DatingSo here I am, frantically typing on my aunt's computer, eight hours away from parent's house and a good 12 from my own. My uncle has decided that, given that it's Black Friday and all, Christmas music is the obvious replacement for an alarm clock. From Thanksgiving until the beginning of January, the holidays (and
Dating 101: Hooking up with an Ex?Once upon a time, I dated a boy for five years. He was my high school sweetheart. We did everything together. We went everywhere together. We weren't afraid of public displays of affection (in fact, we embraced them quite often). Basically, we were that couple that made people sick. However, as it's been said, all
Dating 101: Playin' GamesJust like everyone says they "hate drama" and don't want to be involved with it (but yet, always are, somehow), people also say they hate playing "games" when they date.
But, in reality, isn't dating pretty much a big game in and of itself? You play games when you don't call when you say you will.

Written by Colin+ in ask uncle colin.
Dear Uncle Colin,
Can you help me win the lottery using MATHS!?
- Lots Of Time, Tremendous Optimism
I mean, there's a chapter in The Maths Behind1 on exactly that topic, but honestly? If I knew how to win the lottery, I'd be drinking mocktails on a Caribbean beach rather than writing snitty blogposts about it, wouldn't I?
Lotteries are not vehicles for making you money. Lotteries are vehicles for making lottery organisers money. Unless there's some set of circumstances (such as a series of rollovers) that makes the available prize pot larger than the money spent on tickets for that draw, there is - by design - no reliable way to make money by playing the lottery.
(Scratchcards, in some situations, are different. Unless they're designed carefully, there can be exploitable weaknesses. However, the answer is still no.)
I normally sign off "hope that helps", but I'm aware that this doesn't really - unless you count the advice "don't play the lottery" as helpful.
- Uncle Colin

Georgia Southern University Golden Award
Northern California Writing Centers Association Spotlight Center Award
Hello, and thank you so much for your interest in the Brain Food Project™ and EASe™. I developed the Brain Food Project™ and EASe™ in the fall of 2014 as a response to three major problems I observed in higher education: a) low attendance for supplemental instruction and tutoring sessions; b) food insecurity among college students; and c) feelings of disconnection and disenfranchisement. In an effort to meet various needs, uplift equity, and support comebacks in the lives of college students, I designed the Brain Food Project™ (BFP) and EASe™. The BFP is an implementation that provides nutritious and popular food items (and even school supplies) to students during learning assistance sessions. In short, attendance for tutoring is positively reinforced while students' basic needs are met and community is formed. It's a win-win situation. However, providing food to students isn't enough. The meeting of needs must be done so with authentic care and intentional recognition of personal dignity. To support the implementation of the BFP, I developed a training methodology called EASe (pronounced ease), which stands for Empathy, Awareness, and Sensitivity for equity. In combination, the BFP and EASe are designed to uplift equity in a non-traditional yet intuitive way. EASe may be implemented with the BFP or on its own. In fact, EASe is beneficial for every program within higher education and beyond. There has never been a better time to bring EASe to your campus. Through purposeful thought, word, and action, the lives of those around you can be uplifted for equity and success. Our research indicates the Brain Food Project and EASe are valuable implementations for increasing student attendance, outcomes, equity, and community. If you would like to learn more about EASe or the Brain Food Project w/ EASe, please contact us. Our training and certification course can be catered to meet the specific needs of your program. We are also accepting two more pilot programs at this time. Please take a moment to review a sample of the training and certification course in the slideshow below. The book, Empathy, Awareness, & Sensitivity for equity: Uplifting Student Lives, is currently available for order. If your program is struggling with low attendance or you simply want to better understand how to support student equity, success, and need, we can help you, step-by- step. I know the BFP w/ EASe or EASe on its own can help you support students like it has done for so many others. Whether it is training and certification, keynote speaking, webinars, podcasts, small group professional development, data, justification for funding, or research assistance, we can help you achieve your vision. Let's get started together, today. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Everyone deserves a comeback,

-Shushanek Silvas, PhD, Partner of The Comeback Community™, Brain Food Project™, & EASe™.
Please email Dr. Jennifer Dorian for training justifications, quotes, and sample materials regarding the Brain Food Project™ and EASe™.
Here's how we can help you meet student need and uplift equity in any department or program at your institution:
|Products and Services
|Speaking at your college/university or event (e.g., keynote, full-day workshop, half-day workshop, three day training event); these are offered face-to-face or virtually and can include certification.
|Face-to-face or virtual training for faculty, coordinators, leaders, tutors, administration, staff, community, and more (any of these groups can be served together or separately based on your need).

"A must visit wine region offering unmatched Vinifera varieties, spectacular views and incomparable culinary experiences"
Prince Edward County is located in the South Eastern part of Ontario: one hour from Kingston, two hours from Toronto and three hours from Ottawa.
The County is surrounded to the North and East by the Bay of Quinte shores and to the South and West, Lake Ontario. Long known for its history, scenic shorelines, and friendly "County Folk", this unique island can now boast as being Eastern Canada's newest wine destination!
Prince Edward County Wineries and Vineyards
Located on an island like peninsula on the opposite side of Lake Ontario to the Niagara region, the "County" is Ontario's newest Designated Viticultural Area (DVA). The area now represents one of the VQA regions: Prince Edward County, Niagara Peninsula, Pelee Island and the north shores of Lake Erie. Its limestone rich soil and moderate climate make it ideally situated for viniculture and in particular the growing of Burgundy varieties (ie. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay).
The County hosts over 35 commercial wineries (as of 2013) and over 50 wine grape growers. The combined effort of the group results in the cultivation of more than 1800 hectares of vineyard which produce over 800 tons of grapes and more that 600,000 litres of wine annually.
The Terroir
The terroir of the region is special because of the micro-climate created by lake Ontario; the lake effect softens the cold winters and cools the summer, and its limestone rich soils which help produce wines of distinctive character. The climate has its unique challenges (ie. the need to bury all exposed vines every winter) but the soil's stark resemblance to Burgundy France has fed an almost unmatched growth in the number of wine makers willing to face these challenges (averaging 3 new producers a year over the last 10 years).
What Types of Wines are Produced in Prince Edward County?
Prince Edward Counties Vinifera varieties include Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Reisling in the Whites and Pinor Noir, Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc in the reds. Along with these, the County also produces a variety of sweet fruity wines, ice wines, ciders, specialty beers and spirits.
What is the Prince Edward County Wine Tasting experience Like?
Wine tasting in Prince Edward Country is a world-class experience in a quaint and charming atmosphere. Most of the wineries are open year-round, though during the winter some do close for the season or have limited visiting hours. Unlike in other wine destinations such as the Napa Valley, tasting appointments are not generally needed. However it is always helpful to check ahead with the wineries you plan on visiting for special events and promotions. Sandbanks Wine and Specialty tours run year round.
For more information on a Wine Tour in Prince Edward County or to book your next PEC getaway visit Sandbanks Vacations Website. For more information on what you've read or what we offer contact us directly either by email email@example.com or at 1-877-399-2508
Sandbanks Vacations & Tours is based just East of Picton in Bloomfield, Prince Edward County Ontario. Along with offering wine & specialty tours we also rent kayaks, offer a variety of vacation home & cottage rentals, and build custom group and corporate events. We look forward to helping you experience the best the County has to offer!

I'm Christian, I identify as Christian even after all this fucking time.
I used to identify as Catholic, but I can't do that anymore, it's a little too wacky...
Um... Christianity is a little broader, it allows you to do more. Don't worry I'm not one of those "creepy Christian" types: I'll never be the guy that's like: "Have I told you about my friend Christ?"
He just works for me, you know, the religion and that much religion works for me,
You know, I pray usually when I go to bed at night. I've got a wonderful life and a great career. It costs me nothing to believe that somebody up there is responsible for it that's not fuckin me.
Um, so... You know, I pray usually when I take off in an airplane and land. That's when I pray the most, and usually my wife is with me whenever I'm flying and sitting next to me and stuff like that, and when I pray, eh, if you saw me on a plane - it's not like I sit there and pray out loud: "Oh God! Save us from your fiery death!"
You wouldn't even know man, cause I don't move my lips all creepily and shit. I just sit there with my eyes closed, for all you know I'd be sitting there thinking about pussy - But really - Jesus.

The Giants will have plenty of pieces to fit together this offseason, and that goes beyond just finding a new head coach and general manager.
The future of Odell Beckham Jr. will also be a central focus for the Giants, and co-owner John Mara would certainly like for his star receiver to be part of his franchise's forthcoming plans.
"I certainly expect him to be a part of this team in the future, but that will be a discussion with the incoming general manager and incoming head coach," Mara said on Monday. "We'll make whatever decision is appropriate going forward."
Beckham, who had season-ending surgery for a fractured ankle he suffered in Week 5, is under contract for next season after the Giants picked up his option for $8.45 million earlier this year.
However, the Giants could cut him before June 1 and not eat any dead money, according to overthecap.com.
The talented but diva wide receiver has expressed interest a new deal and even said he should be the highest-paid player in the league before his season-ending injury.
Beckham has been mostly quiet since his injury, but with a new general manager, head coach and possibly quarterback on the horizon, his status with the Giants is certainly not a sure thing.

One year after customer complaints about Jacksonville's cable TV provider soared,How's AT&T Doing? Council President Matt Carlucci also said the city was aggressively pursuing avenues that would allow Jacksonville television customers an alternative to the cable television monopoly. Carlucci said they cable franchise is nearing their last strike, but "I think there is wisdom in dialogue, and trying to solve the problem." Carlucci said. Mayor John Delaney said he was shocked when he read AT&T's full-page ad announcing the new, higher prices. "When I picked up Saturday's paper, I was fried. Dumbfounded," Delaney said. Carlucci said he was also shocked when getting a call Friday that the rate increase would be announced publicly the next day. "I had worked hard ... to build a bridge, to build a relationship, to try to solve the problem," Carlucci said. "We're even asking for perfection. But you like to at least have good-faith effort, and we haven't been getting that." Apparently the city and the cable giant still aren't are speaking the same language. Late Wednesday, the company released a statement to Channel 4, saying "One of the options being discussed is AT&T agreeing to postpone its rate increase. And since those discussions have not come to final resolution, it would not be advisable for us to provide further comment." Telecommunications committee chairwoman Dr. Gwen Chandler-Thompson would spearhead negotiations with the cable television franchise for payment for past and existing breaches of service, and to revise contract terms with specific payments for future problems. "I love a good a good challenge," Chandler-Thompson said. "We have our work cut out." Longer term, a second committee of government leaders will study the feasibility of the city laying fiber-optics lines throughout the county that could be utilized by a competing cable television company. "The attorney general's broadening investigation (of AT&T') is really a separate matter, and the city will continue to cooperate fully with that," Carlucci said.
AT&T, City's War Of Words ContinuesCable Company Responds To City Leaders' 'Agreement'Posted: 5:26 p.m. EDT June 6, 2002JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It was major news conference, called by City Council President Matt Carlucci and Mayor John Delaney. They had some big news: The rate hike for AT&T Broadband would be put on hold indefinitely. But just three hours later, the cable company issued a statement that basically said "not so fast." "It's kind of a stunner. I had a conversation with their statewide president Monday night, at that was the deal," Delaney said Thursday. "Matt Carlucci had the exact same conversation a day or so earlier. I don't know. I don't know what's next." One year after customer complaints about Jacksonville's cable TV provider soared,How's AT&T Doing? "I thought they would postpone their rate increase, which they agreed to, and we would sit down and talk with them," Carlucci said. Late Thursday, AT&T's senior vice president sent a letter to the city, saying in part: "I had stated during a conversation last Friday with Mr. Carlucci and on Monday with Mayor Delaney that we were willing to entertain a request of the City to delay the rate increase as part of our commitment to good faith settlement discussions with the City. We receive no request from the City prior to your press conference. "That being said, we remain committed to resolving these issues on an amicable and expedited basis with the City. We remain willing to delay the rate increase for a time certain, subject to arriving at a mutually agreeable settlement with the City." -- Ellen FilipiakCarlucci told Channel 4's Brad Puffer they never agreed to settle anything, only to talk. "I think they are losing credibility. The more back and forth it goes, the more credibility they lose," he said. Jacksonville taxpayers and AT&T Broadband customers can't believe what's happened. "To embarrass the mayor and city councilmen ... I mean that's just poor form," one man said. "That are shooting themselves in the foot." "Once again, AT&T is calling all the shots. I don't understand what kind of power the city has," a woman told Channel 4. And that's the problem. The city says they don't have enough leverage to force the cable company to improve, but almost a year after customer complaints began to rise, the city keeps trying. "We are still going to talk to some City Council and talk about next step," Delaney said. "Right now, I don't know."

Spent a glorious Thursday morning working on church details: accumulating intern hours; planning the next two cycles of Adullam leader retreats for this fall and next spring; and giving thought to a redesign of Memorial's website. I forget sometimes how much I love strategic and tactical planning. As the old Chinese proverb says, "He who aims at nothing hits it everytime."
It's been a week of such planning as I've started my teaching preparation for this fall's New Testament and Ethics classes at Westminster. It's so much more motivating for me to prepare to teach something than to just be tested on it, and the main difference between this week's study and the past month's of Christ & Salvation has been one of refreshment (not that I didn't enjoy or won't use what I learned in C&S for my New Testament class this fall, of course).
Other stuff I've been doing: having people over for dinner (last four nights); trying to exercise and watch what I eat (I've been slacking a bit); finishing up The Brothers K (good book – best when it sticks to baseball); and prepping for the summer study series Megan and I are hosting Sunday nights in July over the book of James (4:30-6:30 p.m.; eat at 5, so bring something).
What have you been up to lately?
PS: By the way, remember that moral quandry I faced last week while taking my Christ & Salvation final? Well, my grade got posted today and I came out with a B+ for the class, which means I must not have done quite as badly as I thought I had on the final. Whew.

25 Questions to Ask Before Relocating
Have you received a nephrology job offer that would require you to relocate? How do you determine if relocating to a new city or state is right for you?
Deciding to relocate is a personal decision, and accepting a new nephrology position is about more than the job.
Moving to a new location can be a complete life disruption, however, it can also offer new opportunities and experiences.
How do you decide if relocating is the right move for you? Before making a decision, pull out a pen and paper (or your computer) and make a pros and cons list.
Seeing your thoughts in black and white can help with the decision-making process.
Before deciding to accept a nephrology job in a new community, ask yourself the following:
- What makes this new job appealing?
- How does the hospital/clinic fit into the community?
- Where will I live?
- What will my new role entail?
- Are there chances for advancement?
- Who will pay for relocation expenses?
- What will the work/life balance be like?
- What's the cost of living in the new community? Can I afford to live there?
- What's the housing market like? Is it difficult to find a rental? Will I be buying a home?
- What else is there to do in the community?
- Can I find a social network in my new community?
- What's the weather like?
- What's the traffic like? Will I be able to get to work in a matter of minutes? Or will my commute be a long one?
- Is the culture at the hospital/clinic a good fit for me?
- Is my spouse or partner on board with moving to a new community? Will they be able to find a job or social network?
- Where will my children go to school? What's the reputation of the school system?
- If I'm moving away from extended family, how often will I visit? Will they come to visit? How will holidays be celebrated?
- What is there to do in the new community?
- Do I have a backup plan?
- What is the medical licensing procedure for the state?
- Who are my colleagues? What is the work environment like?
- How will switching jobs affect my professional relationships?
- What kind of benefits are there?
- How will my quality of life be impacted?
- Am I ready for the unknown?

Our initial consultation will take about 90 minutes. We'll take the time to go over your medical history in detail, making sure to talk about all areas of your health. I'll ask you a lot of questions, and you can feel comfortable sharing anything that may seem relevant to your wellbeing.
Next, I'll examine your pulses and your tonguetwo very important indicators in Chinese Medicine.
Together, we'll develop an optimal treatment plan that seems achievable for you. This plan may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, diet changes, meditation suggestions, exercise, or other natural therapies.
Although some people are initially shy about needles, it's important to know that the needles we use in acupuncture are small. In fact, thirteen acupuncture needles fit inside a typical hypodermic needle. In line with the classical style, I use a conservative number of needles.
The number and length of treatments will depend on your individual condition and needs and, of course, on your response to the treatments. Return treatments are usually about 60 to 75 minutes. In general, conditions that are more chronic and that you have been suffering longer will take longer to treat. My aim is to provide you with lasting, authentic health and balance.
Like the sun which emits countless rays, compassion is the source of all inner growth and positive action. Its power can transform ourselves and others so that our lives become radiant and light.

Several years ago I was invited to give a lecture at a Rice University summer workshop for writers. I was given the assignment of discussing hooks or opening lines – which led to one of the more enjoyable research studies I've ever done. My research consisted almost primarily of pulling out every mystery on my bookshelves (and believe me there were a lot then and even more now) and reading the opening line or paragraph. Then trying to figure out why it worked. If it did. Sometimes it didn't. Hook me, that is. And that was the entire reason for my lecture. How do you hook a reader, how do you keep them reading your book beyond that first line, paragraph, page or chapter? There's got to be a hook.
For a really good example of a character opening I go way back to one of my favorite writers, Raymond Chandler, who wrote these opening lines for TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS: "Anna Halsey was about two hundred and forty pounds of middle-aged putty faced woman in a black tailor-made suit. Her eyes were shiny black shoe buttons, her cheeks were as soft as suet and about the same color. She was sitting behind a black glass desk that looked like Napoleon's tomb and was smoking a cigarette in a black holder that was not quite as long as a rolled umbrella. She said, 'I need a man.'"
While writing FAT TUESDAY, Earl Emerson wrote these words on page 127, chapter eight: "I was trapped in a house with a lawyer, a bare-breasted woman, and a dead man. The rattlesnake in the paper sack only complicated matters." He said it took him weeks to junk the book, re-plot the story,and regain the momentum of the narrative, but he was able to move those lines to page one, chapter one. Now that's a hook.

It is more likely he was thinking of his destruction of the American health system so he could get socialized medicine. Could also be he was thinking about his destruction of the middle class. Alternately it could be he was thinking of flooding the American small towns with diseased, unskilled American hating jihadists and south American gangsters to destroy the fabric of American society from within. Well it could also be the ceding of American power in the middle east, asia and the ownership of the internet.

The Book of Proverbs speaks extensively about our words. These scriptures include:
Proverbs 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Proverbs 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
This is not a comprehensive list, but it is my hope that you get the idea. Perhaps, the most recognizable of the Proverbs that Solomon penned conerning our words is...
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
The word that this scripture turns on is "power". I have heard this word defined as "authority", but Strong's Concondance defines it as "a hand (the open one (indicating power, means, direction, etc.)." As we look at this scripture again, we could use the term "direction" as in "Death and life are in the direction of your tongue." You will go the way of your tongue. Your speech tells your direction. If you are positive, you will head in a positive direction. If you are negative, well, you will head in a negative direction. James wrote...
James 3:4-5 KJV
[5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Your speech can move the natural, but our speech can also move the supernatural. The Apostle Paul wrote...
2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Do you need something in your life? Are you suffering through a trial? Do you need deliverance?
It is time to speak life, but we must understand that to move the supernatural that it is more than just saying it. Our speech must be coupled with faith. Please take the time and read the following scripture...
Mark 9:17-29 KJV
[18] And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
[19] He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
[20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
[21] And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
[22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
[23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
[24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
[25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
[26] And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
[27] But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
[28] And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
[29] And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
If you need a miracle, couple your faith and your speech. Speak you miracle into existence through prayer and fasting. Life is in the power of your tongue.
Have a great week!

Life has been compared to a roller coaster. The Bible speaks of the "valley of the shadow of death." There will be times in your life when "life stinks." It is just not going the way that you want it to go. When we are living blessed, this blog entry may not mean anything to you. If you are going through a terrible time and know exactly what I am talking about...read on!
The Psalmist wrote:
Psalm 38:5 KJV
The wounds that the writer is speaking of can be speaking of sinful wounds. Charles Spurgeon says that, "Apply this to the body, and it pictures a sad condition of disease; but read it of the soul, and it is to the life." The Psalmist continued...
Psalm 38:6-11 KJV
[7] For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease : and there is no soundness in my flesh.
[8] I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
[9] Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
[10] My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
[11] My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
This is an amazing word picture of the perils of life. So what do you do when your world is upside down and twisted around? What do you do when life does not seen fair? The easy answer is to hold onto Jesus. The hard thing to do is to hold onto Jesus.
We read of many stories of deliverance of God's people in the scripture. We read of Daniel emerging from the Lion's Den and the three Hebrews walking out of the fiery furnace. We hear preachers preach about David's victory over Goliath and the raising of Lazarus by Jesus. What do we do when we feel that we are in a fiery furnce. One thing that I have found is remembering the last thing that God told me. God has given us promises. IF WE ARE PRAYERFUL, FASTING and READING THE WORD, God will speak to us in His time, but we need to be sensitive to His Word. It may not come from where you expect.
It was Job that said...
Job 23:8-10 KJV
[9] On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him : he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him :
[10] But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
What do you do when you are in the wilderness and God has been a bit silent? We need to go back to the last time God spoke to us. What was the last promise He gave you? When you know it, you need to hold onto it and believe that His promises are true.
God will turn our "mourning into dancing". He will take care of those that love Him. The valley may be long, dark and dry, but when doubt begins to creep in, simply open your Word and pray as the peace of God passes over you...
Psalm 23:1-6 KJV
[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
[3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
When life stinks...the anchor holds (as the old song says).
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week, I wrote about the "secret place". That blog post is written from a standpoint of defining it. As I was praying and studying, I came upon a scripture that peeked my interest. It is part of Hannanh's prayer to God. It reads...
1 Samuel 2:1-3 KJV
[2] There is none holy as the Lord : for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. [3] Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
What did Hannah mean when she prayed, "By Him actions are weighed"? Strong's Concordance reveals that the Hebrew word for "action" is defined as "a performance(of man, often in a bad sense); by implication an opportunity." It further shows that the term "weighed" means, "to balance, that is, measure out.". That seems obvious! The Message Bible takes that phrase and changes it to say, "For God knows what's going on." God knows what we are doing. He knows where we are and has never left us for forsaken us.
Hannah was a woman of prayer. Her first recorded prayer was, "O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid." She vowed to give the child to God not as a man, but as a child. Smauel spent his youth in the service of the Lord. This may sound heartbreaking for a mother (or a father) to send their child away at such a young age, but the Bible says that she prayed, "My heart rejoiceth in the Lord." What an amazing story. Hannah went from afflicted to praising, but she also came to understand that God knew where she was in life and blessed her actions of prayer. She became a prayer warrior rather than becoming bitter.
God knows what is going on in your life. He has not forgotten you. He promised to never leave you nor foraske you. The battle that you are in is His battle and the outcome is going to be for His glory. When God weighs your actions be sure that He finds that you are seeking Him.

There are many things in the scripture that we read, sing about and preach about that may leave you scratching your head while asking what it all means. In Psalm 91, the Psalmist wrote "He that dwellest in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." This is not a sentence that we would craft in American English, but it has meaning and the Word of God is powerful. Therefore these words are anointed by God, settled in Heaven and powerful.
The word "dwellest" in the original language is "Yashab" meaing "to sit, to be set, remain or to abide." This implies that not everyone will live in the secret place of the most High, but there will be those that pass by or through it. God wants us to remain. He wants us to live in the secret place. It was Charles Spurgeon that wrote of the secret place, "Into the secret place those only come who know the love of God in Christ Jesus, and those only dwell there to whom to live is Christ. To them the veil is rent, the mercy-seat is revealed, the covering cherubs are manifest, and the awful glory of the Most High is apparent." Another commentary describes the secret place where those that enjoy an intimate relationship with God...a type of the Garden of Eden.
The "shadow of the Almighty" is the protection and love of God. The Psalmist penned in Psalm 17:8, "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings." King Solomon would write in Song of Solomon 2:3, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste." God protects those that He loves.
How do we remain or dwell in the secret place of the most High while under the shadow of the Almighty? This is done by maintaining our relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, fasting, studying His Word and faithfulness to the house of God. We have to be "all in" for Jesus. At church yesterday, we sang the old hymn "I Surrender All". This is a powerful song not simply because we sing it, but because we pray it also.
In your life of prayer, ask God to reveal to you what it takes to dwell in the secret place of the most High under the shadow of the Almighty. He will reveal it to you. It may be against what your flesh wants to do, but if you can overcome the flesh living in the shadow of the Almighty is the best place you will ever be.
Have a wonderful week!
