I always wanted to do a show about four women...oh wait, that's the wrong introduction.
Despite the name of this blog, I'm not a great homemaker. There are usually always dirty dishes in my house and the laundry is never caught up. But I try. I'm very much your traditional country girl in that I take great delight in my flower gardens and I aspire to bake the perfect cake. I'm also a very practical woman who considers looking for bargains a hobby. I've created this site as a way to share some of my interests and hopefully provide some helpful hints or inspiration.
This blog is a work in progress so stay tuned.


MoDOT WILL CLOSE FIFTH STREET TO ALL TRAFFIC ON OCTOBER 10 - 11. Please click the link below for detour routes.
The I-70 at 5th Street & Fairgrounds Improvement Project is scheduled to begin in March 2016. This is a MoDOT managed and executed project with cost being shared between MoDOT, the City of St. Charles, St. Charles County and the federal government. The Fifth Street Interchange provides access to many of St. Charles County's top attractions, retail destinations, employment centers, numerous restaurants, hotels, shops and businesses. To support ongoing redevelopment near the Fifth Street Interchange, additional work was needed to improve traffic flow and access to and from the interstate.


Steven Pienaar tonight completed his move to Tottenham after signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the London club.
The 28-year-old midfielder passed a medical at Spurs' Chigwell training ground before putting the finishing touches to his transfer from Everton for a fee believed to be between £2.5million and £3million.
Earlier confirming his destination on his Twitter account, Pienaar said: "To end speculation I am going to Spurs. I've had brilliant years at Everton and it will always be a special place in my heart."
He later added: "I can also confirm I'll be jersey number 40."
Confirming the completion of the transfer on their official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com, Spurs said in a statement: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Everton and Steven Pienaar for the player's transfer to the club."
Pienaar could make his debut in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game at Newcastle providing his work permit comes through in time.
Tottenham beat Chelsea to land Pienaar, who failed to agree personal terms with the champions. That does not appear to be a problem with Spurs, who nevertheless risked missing out on the South Africa star by refusing to meet Everton's asking price.
But the clubs came to an agreement last night, with some reports claiming Tottenham had matched Chelsea's £3million bid for the player and others suggesting a compromise figure of around £2.5million had been reached.
Once all the paperwork is complete, Pienaar will officially become the north Londoners' second January signing, with international team-mate Bongani Khumalo having already penned a pre-contract agreement.


What do taking a trip to the beach, testing a well, and planting a new garden have in common? You guessed it – water. UConn is home to a state-wide organization focused on providing Connecticut's citizens with information and research about all the water resources we encounter in our daily lives.
As the state's land grant university, UConn became the home of the Connecticut Institute of Water Resources (CTIWR) in 1964 as part of College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources. The institute seeks to resolve state and regional water related problems and provide a strong connection between water resource managers and the academic community. CTIWR also seeks to share water-related research and other information with the general public to bridge the gap between scientists and the community.
The institute is currently expanding and focusing more attention on community outreach with the arrival of new center director, Michael Dietz, PhD.
Each year, CTIWR receives a federal block grant of about $90,000 from the United States Geological Survey to undertake research activities and conduct outreach to the community on a host of topics related to water quality.
CTIWR is among 54 National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR), one in each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. In 2015, the various NIWR organizations awarded $6.5 million for 214 research projects, supporting over 500 researchers and almost 300 students.
While all states participate in the program, the way that associated federal grants are administered is unique. Unlike many other grants, water research institutes act as a partner for the federal government and have much more autonomy over their priorities, projects, and programs.
According to John Tracy, director of the Texas Water Resources Institute and executive secretary/treasurer of the National Institutes for Water Resources, water research centers provide an invaluable service to institutions of higher education, state governments, and citizens.
"With these centers and institutes, we're talking about research that is mission-based versus knowledge-based with the end goal of leveraging scientific discovery to serve the local or regional community. Very few research organizations have this as their sole or primary mission," says Tracy.
A big part of the CTIWR's activities fund the next generation of water researchers to train water quality experts to handle current and emerging issues. Recent projects explored leaching of nitrogen and phosphorous into lawns, relationships between metals and organic matter in soils, and quantifying the impact of road salts on wetlands in Eastern Connecticut. Researchers from any college or university in the state are eligible to apply.
As a UConn alum and a native Nutmegger, Dietz is thrilled to have the opportunity to support the community through research, outreach, and training.

Dunleavy steps down from NYC St. Patrick's Day parade post after 22 years
Nominated and seconded at election meeting by organizations affiliated with the parade, Dunleavy says he won't serve
Former Parade and Celebration Committee Chairman John Dunleavy. Irish Voice.
A new slate of officers was elected at a meeting of the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade affiliated organizations on Monday night, but the parade's overseeing board of directors maintains the election is null and void because it was called in contradiction of one of the board's by-laws.
The meeting at Antun's in Queens was attended by some 200 members of the affiliated organizations to elect officers for the board's St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration Committee formerly headed by John Dunleavy, whose alleged misappropriation of parade funds during his tenure was reported to the New York State Attorney General's office by the board of directors last month.
Sources told the Irish Voice (sister publication to IrishCentral) that Dunleavy was nominated from the floor on Monday night to once again serve as committee chairman, a post he has held for 22 years. The nomination was seconded but Dunleavy declined to go forward, telling supporters that, on the advice of his attorney, he is presently not in a position to defend himself against the allegations made against him, but that the time will come when he could speak his mind.
The affiliates unanimously nominated attorney John Tully to succeed Dunleavy as committee chairman. Tully, based in Breezy Point, is of counsel with the international firm Norton Rose Fulbright and is active in several Irish groups, including the AOH and the Emerald Isle Immigration Center. Tully was named the 2014 Man of the Year by the Great Irish Fair in Brooklyn, and is a former member of the annual Irish Voice 'Irish Legal 100.' He was also an aide to the grand marshal for the 2014 New York City St. Patrick's Day parade.
Elected as committee vice chairman was Thomas Beirne. Cathy Miceli was re-elected to her post as recording secretary, with sources telling the Irish Voice that she agreed to run only if Tully and Beirne went forward as well.
Rosemary Lombard returns as treasurer; Dennis Grogan assumes the post of controller; corresponding secretary is Dennis McCarthy, and the sergeant at arms is Frank O'Keefe. The latter post was formerly held by Michael Cassels, who was removed in September by the board of directors after a forensic audit of parade finances discovered he double-billed the parade for $1,752.86 in expenses which he has paid back.
On Monday night Cassels was nominated to return to the sergeant at arms post, but he passed.
Sources told the Irish Voice on Tuesday that the parade's board of directors, headed by chairman Dr. John Lahey, remains steadfast that the outcome of Monday's elections are not enforceable. However, the board remains open to dialogue with the affiliated organizations.
"Once the litigation [filed by Dunleavy against Lahey] is resolved, the board is confident that it can reach a satisfactory accommodation with the affiliated organizations," Pat Smith, the board's spokesperson, told the Irish Voice. Smith added that applications to march in next year's parade are coming in to the board, with the final deadline on December 15.
The board's letter to the affiliates on November 24 informing them that Monday's meeting was in violation of parade by-laws also indicated that plans for the 2016 march, which will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, are underway.
"We would like to assure everyone that the planning of the 2016 parade has been entrusted into the hands of individuals who have more than 100 years of combined experience as part of the parade structure for the past 25 years and are familiar with the logistical operations of the parade," the letter said.
"Plans are advanced to meet with representatives of stakeholders and organizations seeking their input at this very important juncture. Additionally, it is the Board of Directors intent to meet with the affiliated organizations in the near future to engage in constructive dialogue."
Meanwhile, attorneys for the board of directors continue to prepare the board's defense against an action filed in Bronx Supreme Court last month by Dunleavy against Lahey, alleging that Lahey conspired with fellow board member and NBC executive Frank Comerford to keep the parade's broadcast rights with WNBC, despite a free offer of coverage from rival network WPIX.
The Irish Voice has learned that depositions submitted by WPIX lawyers last week indicate that no such offer was ever made by the network. Carla Chadwick, Dunleavy's former assistant, will be deposed next Wednesday by the board's legal team about her dealings with WPIX. Some of Chadwick's parade related expenses were also called into question by the parade's forensic audit which was reported to the Attorney General's office, first revealed in last week's Irish Voice.
Dunleavy, a native of Westmeath, has been involved in the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade since 1967, and was chairman of the board's St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration Committee since 1993. He was a staunch opponent of gay marching groups taking part in the parade under their own banners, and was angered that WNBC helped facilitate a deal that included a gay group, OUT@NBCUniversal, in this year's line of march.
Dunleavy's hold over the parade was loosened after a board of directors phone meeting in June, when Lahey was elected chairman of the board which oversees the Parade and Celebration Committee.
A forensic audit of parade finances conducted after Lahey became chairman revealed multiple instances of non-parade expenses charged by Dunleavy to the parade's American Express card, including charges for male enhancement pills, clothing, hotels and restaurants.

Timeline: 15th September 2022 – 14th January 2023
The research for this cohort will be on following topic :
1.Political Economy of Oil Drilling in Nepal
The Government of Nepal is carrying out the pre-feasibility activities on exploration of fossil fuels in different parts of the country and in the first phase exploration to take place in Dailekh and Palpa. While globally nations are committing to move past the fossil economy as soon as possible, through international negotiations; Nepal has been internationally vocal to call for an end of fossil economy globally. How relevant can it be for Nepal to call for an end to the fossil economy internationally and at the same time explore to begin an entirely new fossil based industry in Nepal from scratch. How viable is the project financially? What are other interests of the political players to push for this project? The research aims to conduct the political economy analysis on Nepal's government initiative on oil drilling across Nepal.
2.Energy Federalism in Nepal: Achieving Just Transition in Renewable Energy by 2050 through Municipalities
The renewable energy projects that are highly subsidised by public tax are under question for its sustainability. In many cases the lack of responsible agencies that are capacitated enough to ensure its maintenance and financial viability, results in the discontinuation of the use of the renewable system at its full potential. Community owned energy systems are regarded as one of the recognised approaches that ensures just transition to renewable energy.
In Nepal, the implementation and replication of such projects at grassroots alone may take years as it involves empowering the community and financial capacity of the community to ensure its sustainability. CSO lead transition has the limitation of its replicability while when renewable energy projects are led by the private sector, it fails to recognise the other aspects of just transition. When led by municipalities, it can ensure sustainability through community ownership, productive end use, intersectionality approach to ensure just transition. Research intends to understand how the Municipality lead approach has worked internationally. Will it ensure fast replicability of successful examples nationwide that can help meet the urgency of renewable transition that NDC and SE4All demands?

Born in a small village in Bangladesh , Kazi Ahmed, (the artist who created original Hawaiian exotic name paintings art www.namepaintings.com), a self taught watercolor and airbrush artist studied at McGill University, Montreal and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Kazi traveled from Saudi Arabia to Canada demonstrating and teaching his techniques to tourists and artists alike. He developed what he calls his "Kazigraphy" style of calligraphy wherein the lines associated with letters become multi-colored plants and animals.
Kazi has been creating name-painting art using tropical animals, flowers and fish for many years, inspiring people of all ages to be creative through the fast, easy, and fun way they paint their name scenes.
Traditionally the tools necessary to create such elaborate and colorful effects were rectangular hand-made brushes, with the tip dipped in several colors of paint; but, Kazi knew that in order to continue the legacy of rainbow name art, they needed a tool that anyone could use and teaching materials to go with it.
After over 5 years of research and development with 7 International Patents, his dedication and hard work paid off and the simple possibility that a set of markers could more easily produce the same vivid colors and blending effects as brush and paint, became a reality.
Over the years, he has taught many artists who currently make their living doing name-painting art in tourist destinations around the world, such as in Hawaii, Key West, Florida, Victoria, Vancouver Island. He also created the website www.namepaintings.com and made digital name art. Then, with his company RainbowBrush®, he made RainbowBrush® markers and series of books. Today, RainbowBrush® is the source of over fifty highly innovative, educational, multi-color art tools and inspirational instruction products for home and school and selling over 27 countries around the world.

"no reservation ticket. No problem" I tell myself as we boarded one of Kolkata's iconic yellow Ambassador cabs. I feel confident that our first experience of India's massive railway system will be a walk in the park. That swagger vanishes when our cab started crawling along the slow traffic over Howrah Bridge, where Aileen and I saw a sea of people dwarfing all other commuter crowds I've ever seen, walking along on both sides of the bridge towards one destination: Howrah Junction Railway Station.
As expected upon our arrival at the train station, a scene of pandemonium bearing random hurried steps, jostling and running from all directions - accompanied by yells and curses in Bengali emanating from complaining passengers feeds the overall chaotic vibe inside.
After asking four people for directions, I finally located the ticketing counter for inter-state trains and was pointed by a railway manager to the booth selling tickets for Varanasi. Purchasing the ticket was indeed a breeze, but locating the platform where our train is supposed to be proved to be the challenging part.
There wasn't any fixed platform for most of the trains departing and arriving. You need to listen to the public address system for a literal last minute announcement of your assigned platform. Initially, ours was assigned to platform number 10, so Aileen and I tried our darndest sharpening our Indian accent listening skills, but against a backdrop of a myriad of noises it is impossible to listen clearly.
I swore about hearing "Varanasi" and "Platform 14" or I might have imagined those words, so I made a dash towards platform number 14 only to be almost ran over by hordes of arriving passengers. From the opposite direction, I was pushed by rushing departing passengers racing to get a seat at the newly arrived train. If I wasn't paying attention, we might have boarded the wrong train and ended up somewhere north as if we availed of Sikkim Tour Packages.
It was commuting mayhem from all corners. Honestly though, the raucous scene put a smile at my face. "Yeah, this is the India I've read and heard about". It felt surreal to finally experiencing all of it as if our earlier walk around Kolkata City wasn't crowded and busy enough, the scenes at Howrah made it official. Welcome to India it tells me.
Keeping all concerns about missing our train inside my backpack, we finally found time to relax near platform 8, where an affable old man helped us out in locating our train's platform. The digital sign doesn't work, but he told me to check the piece of paper posted near the doors of the train for our names. After visual confirmation, we started to count the minutes to eight o'clock as both of us were hammered already.
Behind us, a family was also waiting for their train. The young girl and her brothers caught our attention since they were generously smiling at us. Turns out they wanted to have pictures taken with us. In broken English, they asked us where we are heading and after some more small talk I handed the young boy the blue headwear I was wearing. At first he can't believe it, hesitating if he will accept it or not. He eventually did with grinning appreciation.
We bid our Bengali siblings from another mother goodbye when the initial horn sounded off by our Varanasi bound train. Inside we were greeted by an honestly better sight compared to what I imagine. I probably expect the worst train ever, but the truth is, it is really manageable. Our coach has three levels of sleeping berths facing each other with two other levels running horizontally along the narrow corridor.
It was a bit cramped because for 10 or more so hours going to Varanasi you will need to lie down on your small bed going down only on the morning to stretch your feet. Since Aileen took the lower berth, unbeknownst to us the customs of local passengers to fold the second level sleeping berth so others can sit freely on the lower berth, at first light of the morning.
So while I was trying to sleep on the upper bunk and reading a book, Aileen was sitting with 3-4 other passengers on hers. Most of them got on the train at the previous stops. I joined her a little later and running out of patience from the long night, I started my countdown to 9:30 am, our scheduled time of arrival at Varanasi.
Our first few days in India was probably the most hectic, with the 10 hour layover at Kuala Lumpur and the overnight wait at Kolkata Airport, two days of walking all over Kolkata, the mad dash to Howrah Train Station and capping it off with sleeping in a cramped up position, we definitely started our 25-day India trip in a hard manner. I now look back at all of it with fond recollection as those kinds of experiences make traveling addictive and fulfilling.
I hear the final call for passengers getting off at Varanasi, we get our backpacks and off we go to the next part of our India trip.

New "Faith" Helps Gertie Gear™ Stay on Top!
Pet Air Beds Rise Again in AKC (Must Haves) Gear Guide.
Westland, Mich. — Gertie Gear™ continues to hold-air with the American Kennel Club (AKC). For the third consecutive year, Gertie Gear pet air beds capture a coveted spot in the AKC's Spring/Summer Gear Guide, a list of canine "must haves" (May/June 2012, AKC Family Dog magazine). This year Gertie Gear introduces a precious, new dog model named "Faith" as well.
"We're thrilled to be included again, and to have such a special dog as our newest model!", says Julie King, who designed the air bed system for her aging beagle, "Gertie" in 2007. Faith is more than just a beautiful, well-mannered black Lab. Faith is a working dog, handpicked at birth by Paws With a Cause to be raised as a service dog. After a year with a foster family and six concentrated months of training, Faith was placed with her current family and companion, Amy. Faith sleeps on a Gertie Gear air bed, because, "She needs a good nights sleep, so she will be super alert and ready for action when I need her!", says Amy. "She means the world to me. Aside from helping me gain some independence, she is a sweet and loving pal!" Faith continues to train; her favorite "trick" is finding the phone anywhere in the house and bringing it on command.
Faith's spirit and loving nature honors Gertie's memory, who past at the estimated age of 16 in 2010. Gertie, was adopted from a local shelter and immediately exhibited health problems, including mild seizures, back pain, and incontinence. Before the Gertie Gear air bed, she would pee on beds 1-3 times a day. After trying different styles of traditional stuffing/foam dog beds, none measured up to Gertie's needs for support and comfort, nor King's expectations for a bed that would also be low maintenance and long lasting.
The three-part air bed system consists of a round inflatable that provides the odor free, orthopedic "filling"; a zippered, claw & nail proof canvas inner cover that protects the tube and provides a natural, body surrounding nesting area/head pillow; finally, an elastic bound slipcover creates a custom look to fit any style, decor or season.
Available in three sizes with a multitude of slip cover choices, Gertie Gear pet air beds are completely washable and an affordable orthopedic solution for dogs and cats of all ages but especially beneficial to aging pets with special needs. All covers are hand-crafted in Michigan using commercial grade materials and durable apparel, slipcover fabrics.

We wondered if our readers had noticed a marked increase in violence and suicide reported recently in the media, and that many of those perpetrators had been in psychiatric hands or taking psychotropic drugs?
We are sure you also knew that the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) started out as a psychiatric drug.
LSD was discovered in 1943 by Albert Hoffman, a chemist at the Sandoz pharmaceutical company in Switzerland. In the early 1950s, according to documents obtained from the CIA through the Freedom of Information Act, the agency was concerned that the Russians were trying to buy the entire world's supply of LSD. Both sides used the drug for mind-control and interrogation purposes.
To ensure a domestic supply of LSD, the CIA in 1953 signed a $400,000 contract with an American drug company to manufacture and supply the drug. This was done under Subproject 18 of the MK ULTRA program.
Due to the severe adverse reactions from psychiatric drugs finally becoming a matter of public knowledge, as well as studies proving psychiatric drugs are no more effective than placebo, the psychiatric drug lords have now come up with what they are trying to sell as a novel approach — prescribe patients LSD.
The December, 2010 issue of Scientific American contains an article titled "Hallucinogens as Medicine," suggesting that hallucinogens such as LSD and psilocybin be used to "treat" smoking, alcohol and drug addiction, depression, and other mental symptoms.
If you would like to write a letter to the editor about this, send it to Scientific American, 75 Varick Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10013-1917.
For more information about LSDÂ click here.
For every violent murderer reported in the mainstream media as having been "taking medicine for depression," there are many, many more incidences of violence that never make headlines.
This week's Watchdog Radio show guest is Ronald Harvel, Chief of Police in Hurst, Illinois, population 805. Despite the size of his jurisdiction, he has found that the involvement of psychiatric drugs in reports to 911 is significant enough to warrant public concern and discussion.

Cockeyed.com is a website that covers a variety of subjects, most of which are projects undertaken by the site's creator, Rob Cockerham. Since the creator lives in Sacramento, California, many of his projects take place in notable Sacramento landmarks.

One of the most popular articles is called "How Much is Inside", which has been part of the website since its establishment in 1998. There are more than 40 episodes online.

Other sections are the Pranks, the educational Science Club and Cockerham's Incredible Creations, all of which are presented with pictures detailing the steps of the project.

Cockerham has also used the site as a platform to locate and harass people who engage in spamming.

A particular focus of the website is the multi-level marketing business opportunity from Herbalife. Rob has dedicated many pages to criticizing its independent distributors' use of signs in public spaces as well as the Herbalife business model.

The website has been featured on NPR, 20/20 and in a segment during the 24 Hours of Foo event on MTV2.

How Much is Inside? Adventures
This largest section of Cockeyed.com contains documentation of projects in which Cockerham and his friends measure the usefulness of products, including:
 How much gold is inside Goldschläger?
 An estimate to the ratio of various nuts inside Mixed nuts
 Measuring the average length of Ramen noodles
 Counting the distribution of color and phrasing in a bag of Conversation Hearts
 Counting how many chips can be dipped in one can of Salsa
 Other "How Much is Inside?" projects measure the utility of:
Paper towels, Sharpie pens, A Christmas tree, Bacon Bits, Dial Complete soap, A Pumpkin, An Acre, A Keg of beer, Spaghetti, Popcorn bag, Vegemite spread, A Chevy Trailblazer, A Million Dollars, Dust-Off can, Handrolling Tobacco, Oreos cookies, a pound of ground Coffee beans, Coca-Cola bottle, french fries, Ketchup, Print Cartridge, Chewing Gum, 40-Foot Shipping Container, Magic Shell, Batteries, Doritos, Cheerios, Newspaper, Lipstick, Silly string, "Blood", Aluminum foil, Expanding Foam, Whipped cream, EZ Cheese, Toothpaste and one fake measurement of Shaving cream.

Rather than using statistical methods to estimate the contents, the group favors measuring the amounts. For example, to figure out how much is inside of a keg, they (and an invited group of "fellow scientists") poured and consumed 141 individual cups of beer. Another way to determine the amount would have been to simply calculate the volume of the keg and divide by the volume of each cup.

Movie Review: Café Society
Alan Zilberman July 22, 2016
Film & TV 04 min read
Like Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen's latest Café Society serves as wish-fulfillment for the classic Allen hero. But instead of an escapist fantasy, one where a modern dweeb gets to cavort his dead literary heroes, this is a period comedy where a young neurotic somehow charms beautiful, sophisticated ingénues who should know better. There's nothing necessarily wrong with wish fulfillment – many filmmakers use their work to indulge their fantasies – except Allen has been doing it consistently for the better part of forty-years. It is too familiar, to the point where jokes and actors suffer for it. The film's saving grace is cinematographer Vittorio Storaro: this is Allen's best-looking film in decades.
Allen serves as the narrator, speaking with more confidence than any of his on-screen characters. He introduces us to Bobby (Jesse Eisenberg), a naive Jewish kid from New York who heads to Los Angeles in the 1930s. His uncle is Phil (Steve Carrell), a Hollywood big shot who runs a talent agency, and Bobby thinks Phil will give him a job. Phil eventually does – he is monumentally busy, but not a monster – and has his assistant Vonnie (Kristen Stewart) show him around the city. Bobby immediately falls in love with Vonnie, as he must, except she has a boyfriend. We quickly learn that Phil is said boyfriend, even if he's married, and the film follows this love triangle through all manner of romantic possibilities.
In some strange ways, Allen can be a timid filmmaker. Romance and sex always interest him, and yet he never really dwells on corporeal specifics – both in terms of action and dialogue. His prudish instincts reach a low point early in Café Society, in a scene where Bobby hires a call-girl (Anna Camp). They do not fuck, and instead Bobby chides her life choices. He is especially disappointed when he learns she is Jewish. Allen wants us to laugh at Bobby's "will they or won't they" theatrics, except Bobby's shtick is a touch cruel. The scene is a disaster, a handy distillation for Allen critics when they want to point out he's out of touch. Most of Café Society is not like this, thankfully, and Allen's cast find charms through other means.
Vittorio Storaro was the cinematographer for many major films. He worked on Last Tango in Paris, Apocalypse Now, and Reds. In Café Society, he uses light and shadow to make 1930s Los Angeles seem like an escapist, achingly beautiful dream. There is a sequence where Vonnie visits Bobby and the power goes out. Allen's camera swerves and pushes on Stewart's face, filming it with so much warm yellow light that she looks, well, like an angel. Storaro carefully composes and photographs so many shots that Café Society it is mandatory viewing for anyone who watches Turner Classic Movies on a regular basis.
The plot of Café Society has been done in countless Allen films, including his recent work, and yet the actors are charming enough to make us care. Eisenberg riffs on type of characters he's been playing since Roger Dodger, so the real standout is Kristen Stewart. She has genuine charisma and star power, so we fall for her along with Bobby and Phil. While Phil is domineering and Bobby is nervous, Vonnie radiates intelligence and affection – two quantities that most actors cannot combine. Other than the love triangle, there is a comic subplot involving Bobby's brother Ben (Corey Stoll), who is a gangster. Allen cuts away from Los Angeles to shots of Ben's crimes, but the subplot gives opportunity to Stoll and other character actors to find countless droll euphemisms for murder. Café Society may be about a hapless young man and his search for love, but it is also – weirdly – Allen's most violent film.
Bobby eventually leaves Los Angeles, returning to New York, and so Café Society has two distinct halves. In the second half, Bobby again has unfathomable luck. He meets Veronica (Blake Lively), and seduces her in classic Allen fashion: by being aggressive, apologizing for it, then taking her to a jazz club. Allen casts her because it is only in his films that a guy like Eisenberg could have a shot with Stewart or Lively, and yet it is acceptable because Allen uses them to create a thematically rich situation. Café Society ends on a note of nostalgia, but not for the period in which it's set. Instead, Bobby and Vonnie think about each other: starting a future, for better or worse, means ending the past with the ones who got away. That sort of feeling is timeless, instantly recognizable, and why Allen's films continue to endure.

Activist and Facebook commentator Le Minh The during his arrest, Oct. 10, 2018.
Police in Binh Thuy arrested The, 56, a member of pro-democracy group Hien Phap, in October 2018 for his posts on Facebook. They held him incommunicado and charged him with "abusing the rights to freedom and democracy to infringe upon the interests of the state, the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and individuals" under article 331 of the penal code.
"The sentence is too harsh, even the lawyer thinks it's unacceptable," The's sister Le Thi Binh, told RFA by telephone phone after the trial in the Binh Thuy district people's court in Can Tho city.
"First of all, no body sued him. Second of all, he did not disrupt public order. They arrested him when he was driving," she said.
"He only talked about what upset him. Nobody could imagine a two-year prison sentence," added Le Thi Binh.
"Our neighbors were very shocked to hear this. They thought he's been detained long enough and even in a worst-case scenario, he would only get a suspended sentence," she said.
According to the NGO Vietnam Human Rights Defenders, The's group, Hien Phap (Constitution) aims to educate the public about the human rights they are entitled to under Vietnam's 2013Constitution. Many of its members played key roles in in the mass protest against two bills on Special Economic Zones and Cyber Security in Ho Chi Minh City in mid June 2018, and nearly ten members of the group have been detained and charged since September.
"Vietnam's deepening rights crackdown is targeting independent political associations and individual activists who dare to demand that the government respect rights and restore democracy," Robertson said.
Since Vietnam's new cybersecurity law went into effect in January, police have arrested at least three people for dissent after they posted critical comments on Facebook.
A picture does worth a million words!

Conquer the fear that holds you near!
It's calling me to play.
My heart is pounding to make a way.
My legs are shaking from the unknown.
My chest is heavy, just let go.
My stomach full of butterflies that say Yes not No.
I walk knee deep and breathe in the energy flow.
Then to my hips send me forward it's time to go.
I step one step at a time,trusting me the one I know.
The rocks and sand grab my feet one at a time.
No one is near except me and my fear.
I'm about to conquer this deep fear in here.
It's time to move forward and trust everything inside me.
Jump in and move on its waiting to be behind me.
I did it, I moved,I conquered the fear. That was a lie way to near.
It's done and I'm passed it.
Next step I'll conquer more than 20 minutes in there.
Swimming in deep water with someone near the previous year was very different in conquering this challenging fear.
Now nothing can hold me back from swimming farther and getting race ready in fact.

"Jude" by Garrett Leigh
March 31, 2019 .Reading time 8 minutes.
Isha has spent the last year watching his BFF get his happily-ever-after. He's proud of Dom, but…it hurts to see him so free while Isha's love life is still on lockdown. Only Isha's ex-wife knows the secret that he's kept caged for so long—that he's queer too, and he's lonely.
Jude's too chained to his work to notice what he's missing by being terminally single, but a new face in the village soon catches his attention. City boy Isha is gorgeous, and when he starts to haunt Jude's reptile shop as well as the hook-up app on his phone, he's a welcome distraction from Jude's business problems.
For a control freak like Isha, letting Jude under his skin is an existential meltdown, but Jude's not in the market to be anyone's queer crisis, not when he's facing troubles of his own. Unlocking their lives could push both men apart forever, but it might be a risk worth taking if sharing is the key to their happy future.

When the alpha council proposes a two-week pack-building course to help improve troubled relationships, Jason and Daryl are sent along as backup. It soon becomes clear that the unit members and their betas won't be the only ones taking part in tasks—Daryl and Jason will have challenges of their own to complete.
With the full moon adding to the rising tension, emotions are volatile, and tempers flare among the unit members. Jason and Daryl become closer than either of them expected, but with such opposing views on relationships, a messy outcome seems inevitable unless Daryl can let go of the past.
"Family Camp" by Eli Easton
When Geo signs up for Family Camp, he envisions nature hikes, s'mores, and a chance to win over his recalcitrant new foster kids, Jayden and Lucy. He's tried to become a dad for so long, and he hopes the three of them can be the family he's always wanted. What he doesn't anticipate is the prickly and gorgeous camp counselor who constantly comes to his rescue.
Travis spends a week every year at Camp Evermore, the camp his adoptive parents own. As a pro baseball player, his presence guarantees a full campground and excited campers. He has one rule: never, ever mess around with anyone at camp. His profession demands he stay in the closet. But one sweet and funny new dad is about to test all his resolve.
Sparks fly for Geo and Travis, and not because of the nightly campfire. Having been a foster kid himself, Travis is drawn to Geo's sincerity and big heart and to his kids. The four of them just fit. But will this be a summer romance? Or can they find a way to be a family long after Family Camp is over?
"Strays" by Garrett Leigh
Work, sleep, work, repeat. Nero's lonely life suits him just fine until his best friend, Cass, asks him to take on a new apprentice—a beautiful young man who's never set foot in a professional kitchen. Despite his irritation and his lifelong ability to shut the world out, Nero is mesmerised by the vibrant stray, especially when he learns what drove him to seek sanctuary on Nero's battered old couch.
Lenny Mitchell is living under a cloud of fear. Pursued by a stalker, he has nowhere left to run until Nero offers him a port in a storm—a job at the hottest restaurant in Shepherd's Bush. Kitchen life proves heady and addictive, and it's not long before he finds himself falling hard and fast for the man who has taken him in.
Fast-forward a month and a neither man can imagine life without the other, but one thing stands in their way: a lifetime of horrors Nero can't bring himself to share with Lenny. Or can he? For the first time ever, happiness is there for the taking, and Nero must learn to embrace it before fate steps in and rips it away.

Articles from LSU
NCAAF Coming to a Close
By Michael Flanakin @ 5:29 AM :: 1421 Views :: LSU :: Digg it!
Sitting in front of the last game of the regular season, LSU is #1 and Kansas is #2. I mentioned before that I'm completely surprised at Kansas' comeuppance this year. I haven't been watching the team over the years and now I'm wondering if this has been building up or just a singular great run. Either way, the definitive game of the season will undoubtedly be Kansas vs. #4 Missouri. I don't mean to lessen the value of the LSU vs. Arkansas game, but I expect, win or lose, LSU and #9 Georgia will be meeting, once again, for the SEC championship. I guess the only thing left is #3 West Virginia. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm from Louisiana and went to high school in Kansas, but I have no idea why West Virginia is even up here. I'm looking at the teams they've played and I'm not impressed. If this team gets past the conference championship, I'll be surprised. Beyond that, I'd put money on the fact that they don't make it out of the BCS bowl alive.
Looks like LSU's back on top. While I missed the last game, I have to admit the team hasn't been playing at a #1 level. Despite that, I am glad to see them up there. We'll see how the next two weeks pan out, tho. The next game against Ole Miss is a gimme, so I'm just hoping the Tigers don't get cocky. Arkansas can be a tough game, so they'll need to be on the ball to hold that #1 standing. I think the bigger question is how Oregon and Kansas will do. Kansas isn't really a football team, so I'm surprised to see them at 10-0. Their big game will be with Missouri in two weeks. Of course, the last game of the season is always a big one. This is where we'll see the most movement, I imagine. It should be exciting!

It's Unanimous!
By Michael Flanakin @ 12:49 PM :: 1387 Views :: LSU :: Digg it!
Well, looks like, after a week of questioning LSU's position in the Associated Press rankings, it's become unanimous across each of the major college football ranking systems: LSU is #1. This past game was an important one for the team. LSU came out strong this year, killing the competition in 4 of its first 5 games, which included a game that was expected to be the best non-conference match this year -- apparently, someone forgot to tell Virginia Tech that. All-in-all, these seemed fairly easy games for the Tigers. This is perhaps why I was worried. The team has a history of getting a little too cocky. Heck, the first half of the season is always the easiest, so this obviously kick-starts their adrenaline to a dangerous high. With Florida experiencing a bad in-conference loss to Auburn costing them 5 spots, I knew the Gators would bring it to this match in a fiery attempt to prove their worth. This just spelled disaster to me. I wasn't too far off, either. Florida came out very strong in the first half, keeping ahead and making onlookers question the "#1 defense." Don't get me wrong, I think LSU did a great job, but this wasn't what I was used to seeing. In a turn of events, LSU followed up with an atypical second half to match its first half. LSU is typically a team that comes on strong and dies off in the second half. Not this game. While the team didn't dominate like I would have expected a #1 team to dominate, they did pull the stops they needed to. After watching the game, I told myself there was no way LSU would remain at the top of the polls... well, until I heard the news...
USC lost!!! ...and to Stanford!? Thank you! The one-point loss wasn't a drastic one, but it didn't need to be. I've questioned USC for years and am glad to see someone lay it to them. Ok, maybe that's a bit to strong, but that single point did cost them 8 spots, dropping them to #10. That's a game I should probably go back and watch. The huge upset wasn't enough to get Stanford ranked with their now 2-3 record, but they do have bragging rights for a year. Hopefully the team can keep it up to prove it wasn't a fluke. Nonetheless, I tip my hat to thee.

LSU Creeping Up on USC
By Michael Flanakin @ 11:17 AM :: 1359 Views :: LSU :: Digg it!
While only game 2 of the season, LSU is definitely working on proving their worth. 9th-ranked Virginia Tech met 2nd-ranked LSU for what was acclaimed as the most anticipated non-conference game of the season. Both teams have top-rated defenses, so many were expecting a long, back-and-forth game without much action on the scoreboard. That's not quite what happened, tho. The surprising thing to most was the comeuppance of Matt Flynn, the two-year 2nd-string quarterback. All I can say is that I've been waiting for this day. JaMarcus Russell has kept a strong hold on the position, but I've always thought Flynn was the better of the two. Maybe it's just me. The thing Flynn needed to meet his full potential was more game time. Oh well. We'll have to see how he grows this season. Maybe the bigger question might be about this year's 2nd-stringer, Ryan Perrilloux. There was some talk about him last year, but he didn't see much play. I think this year will be different; especially with two touchdowns against such a highly rated defense. Given this year to perfect his skills in a more competitive environment, next year will be an exciting one. Let's just get thru this year, first. The next three games are all gimme's, but the fourth is likely to be LSU's toughest conference game of the season, which is against Florida. I'm just hoping LSU doesn't get too cocky after a strong coming-out.
LSU Ranked #2 in Preseason Poll
I'm definitely looking forward to a good season. LSU's topped only by the USC, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me. USC seems to have it easy over there. With more than half of the SEC in the top 25 and 75% of the conference in the top 50, there's going to be some heated competition. Then again, when have you known it to be anything but in the SEC? USC's competition isn't looking too lively, as usual, with only 3 of the Pac10 in the top 25 and 60% of the conference in the top 50. Of course, these preseason numbers can be argued. We'll see as the season progresses. Life in the SEC is pretty much one game away from leading or following in the conference, so just about every game is key. There are bound to be a couple big upsets, like there are every year.

2007 Sugar Bowl: LSU vs. Notre Dame
I just had to say somehting about this. Today's the big day: LSU vs. Notre Dame at the Sugar Bowl . My girlfriend and her family are all big ND fans, so I have to make a big stink about the game ND is a very good team and has had a great season; I won't deny that. In the same breath, LSU is just a better team, plain and simple. There's only one thing stopping LSU from taking this game: itself. LSU has had a problem with showing up in the past few years. They have the skill, but for some reason, they seem to let a few games go each season. There really is no reason LSU hasn't been undefeated for the past three years. Anyway, I could go on with that for a while, so I'll leave it at that. Yeah, I'm Irish and all, but this one's going to LSU. Geaux Tigers!

LSU @ Auburn, Saturday
In what will be the biggest game for both teams thus-far into the season -- and arguably the most important non-championship game for both teams overall -- LSU will be meeting Auburn with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Admittedly, last year had its ups and downs, but I'm hoping that LSU has pulled itself together enough for this game. I would've rathered seen another game or two before this one, but it'll be exciting nonetheless. Auburn really hasn't had such a hot start this year, if you ask me, but I honestly don't follow that many teams. All I really care about watching is LSU and occasionally checking out how the competition's doing. So far, LSU has let 2 field goals slip by and Auburn has allowed 2 touchdowns. The 2 touchdowns against Auburn were by Washington State, but as I mentioned, I don't know much (read: anything) about them, so I couldn't accurately compare them to LSU's games.
I think this year is going to be all about settling querterback problems for LSU. Last year caused a lot of problems because the team kept bouncing between QBs. I'm pretty sure we'll see some of the same thing this year, but my hopes are that it will be more structured. JaMarcus Russell seems to have a bit more experience than Matt Flynn, but I think Flynn has more potential. They're both juniors this year, so I'm not sure if Flynn will get the chance he needs to really prove himself beyond a doubt -- at least relative to Russell. Beyond these two, I can't forget to mention the new guy on the block: Ryan Perrilloux. I've heard some good stuff about this kid. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see his 2 plays against Louisiana-Lafayette (wasn't on national TV), but I'm sure he'll get another chance in the near future -- just maybe not the Auburn game.
The game this weekend will be a good one. As far as SEC goes, this is a pretty big deal. These two teams are pretty big in the SEC West and both have impressive historical stats. I think LSU has a bit more to prove with a few questionable games last year and the relatively new coach, but I have faith. We'll see how it goes on Saturday...


Dreams Come True With Coaching and Life. Take a Look!
Let's make our dreams come true. IF you want it all – you might end up with nothing. Learn how a dream become a reality. Read our articles.
The angle of reason. Having said that it all make good sense, you see the world as you see it and as you feel. It can never be in any other way. You are unique in all you do and in all you experience.
The algorithm you have is unique, no one has ever tied what you have done nor will anyone ever do.
Engage – commit – do it.
Why do some have success and others not, what is the difference between the two? What determines for it to be a success, I am, sure that there is more than one reason.
One major reason is the difference between making it happen and just talking about. Listen Success belongs to those who never give up or Success belongs to those who really try.
Make a choice, choose. What life do I get, if I do not make a choice? We choose every day, every hour, every minute.
The people that are good at making choices get what they want? Is this right? So do we all have exactly what we want?
Are you changing your way, or are you doing the same as usual?
Just telling yourself a different story may start the change, do you know your life story?
If a vision is to come true, if a goal is to be achieved, if you what you set your mind out for, if you hold your destiny in your hand, if you are what you really desire.
Congruence, you need to be congruent with what you want.

Join Me in an Exploration of Spiritual Formation: "Mapping Our Journeys Back Home to God"
June 26, 2020 March 14, 2022
In the coming month, I will be launching my newest online course via BeADisciple.com.
"Exploring Spiritual Formation: Mapping Our Journeys Back Home to God" is a four-week, self-paced course which invites individuals to timeline their faith stories and, then, to compare these timelines with maps and models crafted from a variety of sources, spanning the history of the Church.
The "flow" and foci of the course might be summarized as follows:
Week #
Introductions, Foundational Considerations,
& "An Initial Mapping/Time-Lining of Our Stories"
Establishing a First Map of the Spiritual Journey
* "Awakening, Middle Chapters, and Union" (cf., Wu & Demerest)
* Hannah Hurnard's Hinds Feet on High Places
Adding More Layers to Our Map
* the "threefold way" (cf., St. Bonaventure et al)
* "stages of faith" (cf, Teresa of Avila & Janet Hagberg)
* "order of salvation" (cf., John Wesley)
Processing Practical Implications for Our Ongoing Journeys
The goal in all of this is not just to know where we've been and where we are, but to have some sense of what's next… and what we might do to cooperate with the ongoing flow of God and Grace in our lives.
(A fuller course description
as well as a registration/enrollment link
are available by clicking here.)
As is true in so many subjects, analysis has its limits. It's among the concluding points I make (in the video sample from the course, here below): that data and discussions thereof can be useful, but they are no substitute for experience. Having a map of our "journeys back home to God" can be helpful, but it counts for nothing if there's no real progress and participation in the pilgrimage and the homecoming.
[wpvideo S4BYfouK]
My hopes, my prayers in and surrounding this course, then,
are that it would go well beyond
a mere feeding of thoughts about the journey.
But, more — oh, so much more:
that it would provide practical wisdom
that facilitates movement and progress
in this "critical journey"
(i.e., Janet Hagberg's label for this journey of spiritual formation)
–promoting, in each and all,
a desire to step out
more boldly
and joyfully.

What Simon Cowell Could Learn from The Voice: "You Can't Judge a Book by It's Cover!"


Workflow is an incredible app for iOS. It takes what I love about Launch Center Pro, powerful actions covered in a friendly UI, and couples it with unparalleled power to automate iOS. I didn't expect an app that can do more than LCP while also making it easier to understand and build complex workflows, for at least another year...but I'm happy to be wrong in this instance. Workflow is incredible. Instead of telling you why I think Workflow is so amazing, I decided to just show you. The rest of this post will be filled with some useful and fun worfklows that I built as well as some built by more practiced iOS gurus. With each workflow I'll include pictures, explanations and a link to install the workflow right on your very own iOS device.
By clicking on each workflow, inside the app, you are able to see and edit the workflow's components, as well as run the workflow. You can also add the workflow to your homescreen, add it to LCP, share the workflow, or submit it to the 'Gallery', a curated selection of quality workflows. But enough of the preliminary stuff, let's dive in.
The App Launcher is the simplest Workflow out there, it's just one action. Pick your app from the menu then hit the play button. Boom, app launched. This is a good workflow for someone who is new to the game and who enjoys a fast and simple way to access most of the apps on their device.
This workflow is extremely helpful for those of you that write about the Bible, be it for personal reasons or because you serve in some form of ministry that requires you to prepare lessons, studies, etc. That being said, for this workflow you will need Editorial, an incredible app in it's own right. Once you get Editorial, a perfect app to prepare your lessons on your iPad, you'll need to install the Bible Block Quote Editorial workflow made by @pfcbenjamin.
This workflow will prompt you for an inupt, which is where you will enter the passage of Scripture that you want. It will then pass that input to the Editorial workflow and return that passage in the clipboard, for you to share as you desire. Simple, quick and very convenient.
FYI: If Editorial is open when you run this workflow it will paste the Bible passage address that you input (i.e. Hebrews 4.12) into the open document. If Editorial is not open, the workflow will still work as advertised, but will not paste the Bible passage address anywhere.
Download Bible Verse To Clipboard.
This workflow essentially clears the system clipboard. I say essentially because it actually replaces the clipboard contetnts with a ' ' character. So for all intents and purposes your clipboard is cleared of passwords, usernames, or other sensitive things it may be holding on to. I find it quite useful.
I shared this workflow on Twitter recently and got some great feedback on it, which is always a welcome surprise. This workflow works as an action extension, so it's always a share sheet away, and grabs the name of the input which is then set to the source in Quotebook. After this it grabs the clipboard contents for the quote itself, and finally will ask you to input the name of the author. So be sure to copy the text you want for the quote to the clipboard before you run this workflow.
This workflow is designed to sit on your Home Screen, or one of them anyhow. By tapping on this workflow icon you'll be able to choose from a menu to either call, message, facetime or email your contact. I use this workflow for my wife. So with two taps on my phone, I'm contacting her in the exact way that I want. It's wonderful.
FYI: You'll have to enter the appropriate information once you install this workflow on your device. I don't want you calling my wife, she's a busy lady.
This is one of those workflows I made just because I could. In reality, saving PDF's to iBooks is nice because I know that whatever is in iBooks is something that I want to read. The problem is that PDF's in iBooks don't sync across iOS devices, so I added Dropbox in to this workflow. It's not ideal, but with the limitations of iBooks, this is a useful workaround to get PDF's from device to device, while also saving them to iBooks. Not for everybody, but if it works for you then I'm happy.
This workflow is so incredibly useful if you blog about anything iOS or if you just want to share a screenshot with someone. Every single screenshot in this post was processed using this workflow. There is nothing like using a workflow while writing a post about Workflow to prove the usefulness Workflow possesses. This particular workflow is pretty simple: it grabs your latest screen shot, prompts you to edit it, saves it to Dropbox, then deletes the screenshot from your photo library...all by pushing a button, so awesome!
FYI: This workflow has been adapted to my likings from the 'Annotate Screenshot and Delete' workflow by Seth Clifford.
This workflow is still very much a work in progress, meaning I'm not sure how I feel about it thus far. Currently this workflow gives me the power to take any clipboard material and do a lot with it via the action extension. I can create a new Draft or a new Evernote note, append to an existing Evernote note, save to Dropbox, Tweet, or Message the clipboard contents. I like the idea of such an extension but am still thinking through the implementation. If you have suggestions, I am definitely willing to listen.
This workflow, made by...I don't remember, so sorry. But it lets you add a new event using Fantastical's useful natural language parsing, while also allowing you to add a note and edit the event in Fantastical. Simple but useful, my favorite.
UPDATE: @b0ngled shared a killer improvement to this workflow. It supports the creation of multiple events and is in every way an upgrade. You can download it here. Thanks to @b0ngled for sharing!
Another super simple workflow but again, very useful. I totally wish I remember where I got this one from.
This one, created by the one and only Federico Viticci, is useful for getting to and fro, all across town, especially when you're going to new places.
Download Map from Calendar Event.
Viticci strikes again...per usual. This is something that both he and I and probably most other people have longed for on iOS, a file downloader. Check it out.
And last but not least a workflow we can all enjoy, brought to you by @imathis. Simple, straight forward and fantastic. I rearranged the 'quick look' and 'save to camera roll' actions in @imathis' workflow so that I save the photo first and then share, just a personal preference.
If you have any suggestions, fixes, etc please let me know. I wrote this post to share the little I know along with a few workflows from people far more experienced than I. The beauty of Workflow is that anybody, anywhere can create something incredibly useful to others. So please, share your thoughts and workflows and let the fun begin!

A hybrid site is a category I made up, so I guess it can be defined anyway I want it to be.
Logically, a hybrid should have more than one real store with a sales staff and cash register.
Another key part of the definition is to offer buyers the choice of buying online and either shipping the wine or picking it up yourself at a real store.
So this category covers the giant totalwine with its multiple stores and the little guys with at least two.
To date, we have studied two other real hybrids and will publish our reviews soon.
One is a major retailer, klwines.com with three stores in California.
The other is the oxbowwinemerchant with stores in the town of Napa and in San Francisco.
All, regardless of size and location, have not yet ventured into the world of free shipping.
They also share a knack for finding great wines and great deals that generally fly under the radar.
This recently renovated site for Total Wine & More, www.total wine.com is likely to become a major player in the online wine field.
Founded in 1991 by two brothers, the parent company is headquartered in Maryland. Total Wine today consists of 135 stores in 18 states. It recently entered the San Francisco Bay Area with a new store in Fremont.
Proud to label itself a "superstore," Total Wine is rumored to be buying the BevMo group. But that's another story.
As an online seller, total wine is set up to immediately recognize your physical location and connects you with its nearest storefronts in your area. So the basic premise is that you can shop online and then decide to have the wines shipped or, if a feasible option, pick them up and drive them away.
Looking over the wines offered, one could be blown away by the sheer numbers, as each store is said to stock over 5,000 wines. The total for Total Wine is over 8,000 wines.
Wines are listed by country and variety, but it is refreshing to see regions like Columbia Valley, Mendoza, Marlborough and Willamette Valley recognized.
Back to the wines available. The lengthy Bordeaux list of 650 includes First Growths from 2012 and a Cheval Blanc for $1,199. The well-priced 2009 Ch. Giscours was intriguing at $44.99 a bottle. You can buy the rare 2005 Petrus for $4,499 or the 04 Petrus for half that. But this well-chosen list does include a good number of inexpensive Bordeaux.
Totalwine.com also wins high marks for its deep selection of New Zealand Sauvignons. It goes beyond the usual names ...Cupcake, Cloudy Bay, Villa Maria, Brancott...to include my favorites, Spy Valley, Drylands Estate, Matua, Dog Point and Framingham.
But both the Brancott and Nobilo are priced right at $8.99.
The Rhone section is also impressively deep with the obligatory Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf-du-Papes along with a dozen or more from Costieres de Nimes, red and white. There are several fine Gigondas, especially the 2013 Vieux Clocher at $20.99.
Regarding prices: in general, this is not a discount house. Usually it offers 10% off six bottles or more. It is expanding a list of "Winery Direct" brands that generally are 10% off retail. This lists includes several interesting California names such as Chappellet, Melka, Balducci and Moone Tsai, brands generally not widely available.
Otherwise, discounts reach 15% for special promotions which recently covered 850 Italian wines.
Overall, Total Wine remains much more of a store than a website as it pushes promo codes and themed events at various stores. For Father's Day it featured wines from Josh Cellars which are widely available in most supermarkets.
But the selection is better than Amazon's.
Finally, the website is not the easiest to get around for normal shopping and browsing. I like the shop by brand feature, but not everyone knows what they want to buy.
