In my humble opinion social media includes all media forms that differ from the tradtional deliverables of traditional media houses (eg. newsprint from newspapers, glossy print from magazines, over the air radio from radio stations, over the air TV from TV stations). If that is so where do you place satellite radio and cable TV? Are they social media, because they are not in the group listed above? They could be, but I would s …

Come taste and learn about wine! Each class we taste and talk about 8-12 wines. Typically we open a bubbly, 4 reds, 4 whites and 2 or more desserts.

But keep in mind we usually taste about $200 worth of wine. For Love of Wine was created my classical/jazz musicians Allan Von Schenkel and Kristen Williams ... who decided what they really …

(The story that rugby formed from soccer because of Webb Ellis picking up a soccer ball and running with it... sorry: it's patently false). Anyhow, this group is about playing both games. You don't have to play both, however. Bu …
