One important difference between drinking and tasting is expectorating. Roll the wine around in your mouth, exposing it to all of your taste buds. Pay attention to the texture and other tactile sensations such as the sense of weight or body (the wine feels physical). What are the initial flavors that stand out? Most importantly, do you like it? Spit the wine into a spittoon, provided on all wine-tours, if you are planning to taste lots of wine. Getting drunk will make it harder to taste complex wines later on. If you're driving, use the spittoon. With your lips pursed as if you were to whistle, draw some air into your mouth and exhale through your nose. This liberates the aromas for the wine and allows them to reach your nose via the passageway at the back of your throat, known as the retro-nasal cavity. The nose is the only place where you can detect a wine's aromas. However, the enzymes and other compounds in your mouth and saliva alter some of a wine's aromatic compounds. You are looking for any new aromas liberated by the wine's interaction with the environment of your mouth. In other words, slurp the wine (without making a loud slurping noise, of course). Note the subtle differences in flavor and texture. Flavors and scents come in successive waves in fine wines, they are revealed as your sensors adjust to the wine. This is especially important with red wines. Don't worry if this makes you feel out of place. It is an accepted step in wine tasting. Is there any one taste that overpowers the rest? Can you detect the same flavors you smelled now that you are tasting the wine? Great wines are balanced so that they don't attack your taste buds. You can taste 2-3 different fruits, a mixture of sweet and sour, and some earthy characteristics. A little bitterness is natural, but it shouldn't ruin your palate. All wines are different -- whites and dessert wines, for example, are usually on the sweeter side. You are looking for balanced flavors, whatever they are, not one "perfect" balance. How long does the finish last? A good, 60 second or longer flavor as an aftertaste is a good sign of quality. At times, you will pick up things in the finish that was not detectable in the initial taste. Do you like the taste? Has it changed? You can use whatever terminology you feel comfortable with. The most important thing to write down is your impression of the wine and how much you liked it. The more specific or detailed you are the better your reference will be against a similar wine from another winery. Many wineries provide booklets and pens so that you can take notes. This can be a great aid in helping you to pay attention to the subtleties of the wine and remember what you like. Keep a booklet of your favorite bottles and what meal you ate them with for future reference.

Summary: Take a sip of wine and let it linger in your mouth. Aspirate the wine after your first taste. Take another sip of wine, this time with air with it. Look for balance in a good wine. Note the aftertaste of the wine. Write down what you think about the wine.

If you experience unusual vaginal discharge, this may be a sign of chlamydia infection or another STI. Signs that vaginal discharge is abnormal may include a different or unpleasant smell, a darker color, or a texture you've never experienced before. If you suspect that your vaginal discharge is abnormal, consult your doctor, gynaecologist, or other health professional for testing and treatment. Bloody discharge between periods can also be a sign of chlamydia. Pain during urination and/or pain during intercourse could be a sign of a chlamydia infection. If you experience pain or extreme discomfort during sex, refrain from intercourse until you can be examined by a health professional. Chlamydia infections can cause pain during vaginal intercourse for some women. Burning pain during urination usually indicates some sort of infection, from a yeast infection to an STI. Seek medical treatment at once. Some women experience minor bleeding after vaginal intercourse, and this symptom is sometimes associated with female chlamydia. Bleeding, pain, and/or discharge from the rectum are symptoms of chlamydia. If you have vaginal chlamydia, the infection could have spread to the anus. If you engage in anal sex, the infection could be based in the rectum.

Summary: Note vaginal discharge. Pay attention to pain. Check for bleeding after sexual intercourse. Tell your doctor about rectal pain, bleeding, or discharge.

The transition to a new home is stressful for a cockatiel, and your bird will need time to rest and get acclimated. Try to let the bird rest for 2-3 days before handling it. Try to keep children and other household pets away from the bird, but do talk to it frequently in a low, calming voice to help it get used to you. Remember that cockatiels are very social animals. You might leave music or the television on when you leave the house during the day so the cockatiel has something to listen to. You should spend some time researching the best ways to train a cockatiel, but a great place to start is teaching the bird to be near you outside of the cage. Gently remove the bird from the cage and take it to a small room with a door, like a bathroom or large closet. Close the door so the bird does not escape, and let the bird go. Then sit near the bird and talk to it every once in a while as it adjusts to your presence. Eventually, you can work on training the bird to climb onto your finger. Training a cockatiel can take time, but your patience will pay be rewarded with a well-socialized, friendly companion. Cockatiels can be very dusty birds and need to be bathed every few days. Fill a plant mister bottle with clean, slightly warm water, and acquaint your cockatiel with the routine by giving it just a spray or two in the beginning. It won't be long before the sight of the spray bottle will bring the cockatiel to a close perch. They love the spray and will open their wings and turn their bodies until they are soaking wet, and then shake off the excess water. Remember not to do bathe your cockatiel when it's too cold, or at night. Cockatiels also enjoy bathing in pans of water, and even playing in a regular bathtub filled with 1/2" of warm water.
Summary: Allow your cockatiel to get used to its new environment. Begin to train your cockatiel. Get your cockatiel used to being bathed.
