I don't see it as a waste of time, but me doing research for advancing my own makeup artistry.
You're thinking, 'you're doing "RE-SEARCH" (said with air quotes - dork). You're looking to steal someone's idea'.
And you're right! Said without air quotes or snark. Pfft!
Steal like an artist. Learn by copying. Study from many. Remix their idea. Give them credit.
And one Makeup Artist I stumbled across was Vlada Haggerty (@VladaMUA) who I have lovingly nicknamed, "The Leprechaun Queen", seeing that she can manipulate gold applications like no other.
Vlada has over 100K Instagram fans and with credit to her work in major magazines, makeup competitions, and online publications internationally.
Have you seen these dripping gold lips?
If you're an aspiring MUA it's pretty much guaranteed you have. If not, get to your research and study!
Having a large Instagram following as an MUA can mean more opportunities to collaborate with larger brands, more traffic to your blog, clients reaching out to YOU, more consultations and sales for your business, and a whole other plethora of opportunities.
I'm going to talk about a few things.
I caught up with Vlada to talk about her brand as a MUA on Instagram. On top of that, I'm going to point out some actionable tips you can use TODAY to help grow your Instagram following.
Everyone say "JEFFREE STARR"! Weeeeeee!!!1. COMMENT ON OTHER MAKEUP ARTIST'S PHOTOS
Just yesterday, I was looking at a MUAs profile and saw that she had posted a picture of her coffee that had a thick foam head and a dollop of brown sugar in the middle. Her coffee looked like it had a belly button. So I left a comment, saying that her coffee has a belly button. She replied back, lol-ing and agreeing with me, and then went on to like 6-7 of my images on my profile.
Think about it. When someone 'likes' your image, that's nice. But when someone leaves a 'nice comment' on one of your pieces, you get that shot of serotonin (the chemical responsible for pride and status).
Don't worry, we all get our fix from time to time.
Anyone can 'like' an image. But if you want to stand out, 'leave a comment'. Engage with the profile owner! You can leave a single word comment like, "Cool", "Dope", or "Nooice!" (Anyone watch Key & Peele for that last one?), BUT whenever possible, be a little more thoughtful.
Dig a little deeper into your verbal repertoire and leave a "belly button" comment. Engage with this person and/or other people who have commented on that person's profile. This is your Wolf Pack - it's okay to start a dialogue. You may even make a new online friend.
'Likes' are measured, but a 'Nice Comment' is remembered.
I think a lot of MUAs who start out posting on Instagram, did "common" looks at first, even Vlada.
"...I moved to LA. We moved in December and it was a very slow time for me as a makeup artist, so I started doing makeup on myself and taking pictures of my lips... After a while I started doing eye makeup and full face makeup... expanding the range of makeup looks I post on my page. "
— Vlada Haggerty
Then either you see another's work and are inspired or you just get bored, you are an artist and your style DOES evolve over time, so you experiment because...why not?
For Vlada, it especially paid off when she was creating these dripping liquid lip looks because they have gotten her international coverage, features in magazines and online publications, work with major clients, and featured on multiple Instagram feature accounts (which was how I found her).
Did she know it was going to be such a big hit? Hell no! No one does!
You experiment every day! You see if you like it, tweak it if you don't, post it on your profile when you do and wait for your serotonin fix! Be consistent, be other, be an artist!
"[Surrounding yourself with] creative minds definitely lets you be more free and let go of the fear of what other people may say or think. [Don't get] too comfortable and not [develop your] skill. "
— Vlada Haggerty
And when in doubt, learn from the masters and do your research.
"We have to stay on top of all the trends, of all new techniques, products, etc...I'm learning every day from multiple people, to name a few: Pat McGrath (@patmcgrathreal), Tamana (@dressyourface), Darya Kholodnykh (@darya_kholodnykh), Mia Connor (@miaconnor) and many more! I love learning personal tips and tricks people have gathered over the years of working in the industry."
— Vlada Haggerty
All and all, don't be afraid to get WAY OUT of your comfort zone, make a mess, and create something different. It may take a LOT of trial and effort, but different here wins.3. HASHTAGS FOR MUAS
I am a hashtag fiend. I am CONSTANTLY finding new hashtags and feature accounts to try to connect with my Wolf Pack. If you don't know about proper hashtagging beyond 'style', 'beautiful', 'mua', and 'pretty'...pfft! I'm going to need you to get your head in the game.
Let me give you some of the uncommon tags:
#fiercesociety, #wakeupandmakeup, #liptrends, #naildecorvideos, #makeupaholic, #beautyinspiration, #addpepper, #allmodernmakeup, #blendwithtrend, #trendsandco, #calledtobecreative, #nothingisordinary, #postitforaesthetic, #amazingmakeupart
Some of these, like 'AMAZINGMAKEUPART' is a feature account that showcases people's work from body painting to makeup artistry. They have over 70K followers. If featured, that's 70K eyes on your work. A pair of those eyes could be for a magazine, or another feature account, a local model, a local photographer, a makeup company, jewelry company, etc.
You get 30 hashtags for each post. Make use of the space and think bigger.
I've heard the statement used, "You're only as good as your network". Let me explain via a story completely unrelated to Instagram or MUA.
There's a YouTube movie out called "Kung Fury". It is, by far, the greatest B movie, 80s throwback action flick, I have ever seen. And it was filmed this year.
The director used Kickstarter to fund the film. He had a sweet trailer he put together and asked everyone who participated in the film to post it on their social media. In the first 5 hours there was barely a blip of traction to his Kickstarter page, but one of the actors who plays Thor (not the Hemsworth brother) had a huge following on Facebook. One of his fans saw it, posted it on Reddit, and he reached his $200K goal in less than 24 hrs.
He ended up raising a little less than $650K, Hollywood agents and managers started calling him, and now there are talks of a full feature film.
As an MUA, you will have the opportunity to work with a lot of people, if you so desire. Models, makeup companies, photographers, jewelry companies, online publications, etc.
But we all start off small. Use your resources at hand.
"I used to use Model Mayhem a lot, I met a lot of great people through that web site."
— Vlada Haggerty
There is a technique called 'cross pollenation'. Your model/client posts your work (and tags you) to her followers and you do the same for her. You're both leveraging each others audience which can result in new opportunities, new likes, and/or an increased following. As you have seen, I'm sure, this works for when you're collaborating with another company or brand as well.
Want to try something closer to home? Recruit your friends. They, are usually, EAGER to jump in the seat and be made over. Plus it will give you GREAT practice in working with, a 'client', so that maybe one day, they'll pay you.
"[The biggest mistake MUAs make in building their reputation] are the simple things like not sanitizing the products, being late to shoots and appointments, not being nice to everyone on set. Being a nice person in general is a must, your personality is what will keep bringing you gigs. You can be the most talented person out there, but if you rub people the wrong way, you won't get hired again...having a personal connection with people you work with is very important, [a] good relationship is what will help you keep the gig."
— Vlada Haggerty
So in other words:
If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.
Your tools shouldn't be goopy - nasty.
Come in with a great attitude and don't be a dick.
You got this champ.5. HAVE A THEME
This is where I messed up in the beginning of my Instagram ventures. I was ALL OVER the place in MULTIPLE genres outside of Makeup Art.
Woody Woodpecker high on caffeine had more direction than me.
(That's an old reference some of you might have to look up).
Then one day, I just started focusing on one craft (instead of 5). If people come to my profile now, they'll see the rows of consistency and have a feeling of my style AND what I do:
Pop art and urban art makeup artistry, that plays with the eye (or at least I hope that's what they're getting from it - but I'm pretty sure).
That is the question you will be answering on your page, with each post, daily - "What do you do"?
They should be able to figure it out, within the first 3 seconds, WITHOUT reading your bio. If they can't, and you're all over the place, they'll leave.
(I have a cautionary tale about this, but I'll talk about that on another post).
So what kind of Makeup Artist are you? Are you into body painting? Anime looks? Wedding makeup looks? Lip art? Eye art?
Play around and pick your poison.6. WATERMARK YOUR WORK
I said above to steal like an artist, but credit the work. Repost images, credit the work - EVEN re-watermark it if you find it helpful.
I know of a BRILLIANT graphic artist named Alice X. Zhang whose sketches are credited internationally for magazines, ads, etc. She is in the top of her game in her community.
She went inside a local coffee shop one day and saw one of her images framed. She wasn't selling prints at the time of that particular piece and there was no indication on the piece that she created it.
So either they removed her watermark signature (most likely) or she didn't put it on there (extremely doubtful).
Same ordeal with Vlada. One day she's going through her Instagram feed and sees one of her designs on a high profile celebrities page, without her watermark and with no credit that she created this piece.
The words 'the audacity' comes to mind if you have the misfortune of this happening to you. Utter shock and awe that your work is dangling in your face and NO ONE - except you, the shop owner, and the Instabootlegger - knowing who created it!
Not crediting other artists work, continuously, is a sure fire way to become a pariah in the community quickly.
Karma will come and hit them in the face with a crowbar eventually, but until then, watermark your work.
HINT: I have the tendency to watermark my work in the corners of the image, because I don't want it to disrupt the image - or at least that's my excuse. If you leave it in the corner, it is easy for someone to crop OUT. Ergo, strategically watermark INSIDE of your images so if someone DOES try to crop out your name, they can't do so without hacking it up or ruining the image altogether. Get me?
Now it's your Turn. Here's what to do next:
- Pick your page's theme. Any images that are on the sight that don't support that them has got to go!
- Leave a comment telling me of some of your biggest Instagram wins this week.
- Feeling stuck? Leave a comment and we'll hopefully figure it out together.
Peace, love, and liquid lipstick lover

Here's an excerpt:
So why did her species become bipedal while it was still living partly in the trees, especially since walking on two legs is a much less efficient way of getting about?
According to Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, it all comes down to food, and sex.
In apes--both modern apes and, presumably, the ancient ancestors of Ardipithecus--males find mates the good old-fashioned apish way: by fighting with other males for access to fertile females. Success, measured in number of offspring, goes to macho males with big sharp canine teeth who try to mate with as many ovulating females as possible. Sex is best done quickly--hence those penis bristles, which accelerate ejaculation--with the advantage to the male with big testicles carrying a heavy load of sperm. Among females, the winners are those who flaunt their fertility with swollen genitals or some other prominent display of ovulation, so those big alpha dudes will take notice and give them a tumble, providing a baby with his big alpha genes.
Let's suppose that some lesser male, with poor little stubby canines, figures out that he can entice a fertile female into mating by bringing her some food. That sometimes happens among living chimpanzees, for instance when a female rewards a male for presenting her with a tasty gift of colobus monkey.
Among Ardipithecus's ancestors, such a strategy could catch on if searching for food required a lot of time and exposure to predators. Males would be far more successful food-providers if they had their hands free to carry home loads of fruits and tubers--which would favor walking on two legs. Females would come to prefer good, steady providers with smaller canines over the big fierce-toothed ones who left as soon as they spot another fertile female. The results, says Lovejoy, are visible in Ardipithecus, which had small canines even in males and walked upright.
Lovejoy's explanation for the origin of bipedality thus comes down to the monogamous pair bond. Far from being a recent evolutionary innovation, as many people assume, he believes the behavior goes back all the way to near the beginning of our lineage some six million years ago.
But there is one other, essential piece to this puzzle that leaves no trace in the fossil record. If the female knew when she was fertile, she could basically cheat the system by taking all the food offered by her milquetoast of a provider, then cuckold him with a dominant male when she was ovulating, scoring the best of both worlds. The food-for-sex contract thus depends on what Lovejoy calls "the most unique human character"--ovulation that not only goes unannounced to the males of the group, but is concealed even from the female herself.

Globally, spine surgery has remained a strong medtech growth market in the face of a variety of pressures that have hindered growth of other medical technologies. In general, spine technology sales have benefited from the following drivers:
- The ageing population worldwide
- Increasing incidence of obesity
- A growing middle class in developing countries, with the ability to pay out of pocket for spine surgery
- Improving worldwide economy
- Technological device enhancements, leading to improved surgical results
- Developments in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) devices driving a strong increase in MISS, with its numerous advantages
- In the US, improvements in reimbursement as clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of treatments using the devices
- US healthcare reform leading to medical insurance coverage for more people, allowing those suffering from intractable back pain to receive surgical treatment
Overall, the global spine surgery market will see a nearly 7% compound annual growth rate from 2011 to 2020, with select emerging segments demonstrating dramatically higher growth. Below is illustrated the change, from 2011 to 2020, in percentage of total share of the worldwide spine surgery market represented by each technology segment.
Source: MedMarket Diligence Report #M520, "Worldwide Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, Markets and Opportunities, 2010-2020."
Note, please, that a decline in a share % above does not necessarily reflect a decline in absolute value of sale for that particular segment. In reality, the only segment with an absolute decline in sales from 2012 to 2020 is segment sales of bone morphogenetic proteins (especially for Medtronic's Infuse) which have taken a hit as a result of complication rates ensuing from BMPs.

DANBURY, Conn. -- Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton will receive the Hat City Award for Preservation Excellence at the third annual Hat City Ball on Friday, Jan. 27.
The ball is hosted by Friends of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society. It will be held at The Amber Room and begins at 6:30 p.m. Click here for ticket information.
The gala kicks off the 75th anniversary year for the Danbury Museum and Historical Society, whose mission is to acquire, preserve, and interpret the history of Danbury.
Boughton will be honored in recognition of his ongoing partnership with the museum and commitment to the preservation of the history and heritage of the community.
"I am honored to be chosen as the recipient of The Hat City Award for Preservation Excellence. Twenty-first century Danbury is shaped by our past and I feel strongly that as a community we must continue to recognize and honor the important history that the Danbury Museum & Historical Society collects and preserves," Boughton said.
Boughton, 52, has served as Danbury's Mayor since 2001. He is the longest-serving mayor in the history of Danbury. He is a graduate of Danbury High School, where he also taught social studies. His father, Donald, also served as the Mayor of Danbury for one term in the late 1970s.
"Since the beginning, Mayor Boughton has been a tremendous supporter of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society,'' said Brigid Guertin, the Museum's Executive Director. "We are honored to support him at this year's event for all the work he has done to support us in our mission."
"The Friends are very excited to host this year's event and recognize The Danbury Museum's 75th anniversary year in The Hat City. We look forward to bringing the Danbury community together once again; the Hat City Ball is an essential fundraiser for the museum and supports the educational programs, history-related events, community outreach and preservation efforts of the museum," said Joretta Kilcourse, President of The Friends of The Danbury Museum & Historical Society.
The evening features live music from Eight to the Bar, two performances by The USO Show Troupe (also celebrating its 75th year), an open beer wine bar, a Surf & Turf meal (vegetarian option available), dancing, and a silent auction.
"We are grateful for the support of the people, corporations and businesses that have made the Hat City Ball a huge success,'' Guertin said. "This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we rely on the community's support to continue to protect and preserve Danbury's history."
The museum is seeking sponsors and advertisers. Major Sponsorship at the "Campaign Hat Honor Table" level includes an opportunity to provide tickets to Danbury veterans. Donations to this year's silent auction from area businesses are also welcome.
A complete outline with Sponsor, Advertiser and Donor details are available at www.danburymuseum.org. There is also more information and a link to purchase tickets online. Tickets can also be purchased at the museum during regular business hours.

If you are missing one or more teeth, our dentist may recommend a restoration called a dental bridge. A bridge is used to replace either a single missing tooth or a couple of teeth in a row. While there are several types of dental bridges available, the most common is known as the traditional bridge. This type of restoration is made of two dental crowns and one or more artificial teeth, which are supported by the crowns. These crowns are attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap in order to provide stability to the artificial teeth. Because the artificial teeth and crowns are designed to match your natural teeth, bridges are very natural looking. When in place, a dental bridge can improve your smile by:
- Restoring the natural volume of your face
- Improving your ability to speak, chew, and eat as normal
- Enhancing the appearance of your smile
- Preventing the remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment

Cold Weather Workout
Saturday, January 3, 2015
I decided I wouldn't let the cold weather stop me from lacing up my sneakers and going out for a run. On a sunny day with 55 degrees temperatures I took my first ever winter outdoor run. I also thought it would be a great excuse to soak up some rare sunshine in the winter and get some much needed Vitamin D. That was the first time I've ever run outside in the cold so I bundled up with a hat and layers, none of which I needed and I ended up running in a t-shirt to the shocked faces of many people dressed warmly. Running in the cold did make me cough a lot, even long after returning home. I learned that even though my body was hot I think I should wear a neck gaiter next time to keep the cool air off my neck. My fleece jacket was too warm for me, I will just stick with a light long sleeved shirt layered a short sleeve shirt. Did you know you can buy a warm hat with a hole in it for your ponytail? I present the coolest invention ever - toque. Here's an interesting article that says that running in the cold burns slightly more calories because shriving increases your metabolic rate.
If you look at my last winter gym fashion post you'll see a gorgeous blue jacket that is being sold by Nike for $250. I hesitated purchasing because of the color (not my favorite purple) and how incredibly thin it is. So I'm waiting for some reviews to hit their site of how fabulous the fabric technology is worth the ticket price. Then I was surprised to see that Target and Old Navy sell the same style quilted jacket for $35-45. Even though I want to be open to buying cheaper workout clothes, the reason I time and time again end up not purchasing anything is the lack of colors. I've never worn a black coat because I love bright colors! I went ice-skating with a couple friends recently and one of the girls got separated from us. So we stood on the ice looking for us only to realize that almost everyone had a black coat on so it was hard to find her. I feel that especially in the gloomy winter, I can't wear dreary colors. But for those who love their all black outfits, wanted to share these cute affordable pieces. I do plan on getting those fake leather panel workout pants, probably unpractical but oh well! lol

Bridle Trail is a 3.2 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near North Rim, Arizona that features a great forest setting. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking, walking, birding, and road biking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
road biking
Really nice trail if you have a dog at the North Rim. Yes, as the others said, you do not get canyon views, but it is really nice nature and pretty simple hike that starts and ends at the visitor center / lodge parking lot. Technically, the first 5+ miles of the Kaibab trail you do not see "the Grand Canyon" (you see another canyon) so enjoy the dogs in the park!
The first part is great right on the rim with wonderful views then it ducks into the woods until the campground. But it is the only trail you. Can take the dogs on here, so it does the job. Also lots of nice shade from the trees a respite from the desert below.
Just a walk in the woods. Love the eco system compared to the south rim.
A good one to stretch your legs and bird watching
This is the only trail where you're allowed to have your dog (on a leash). It doesn't follow the rim, so there are few spots where you can actually see the Grand Canyon from the trail. Weather was beautiful, though, and my elderly golden retriever really enjoyed the trip.
This is the only trail you can ride it is short with no viewing point. Disappointed with the NP system not allowing riding.

Be the Best Sport helps special needs kids become athletes
Staff and children hold hands during a sports program class. Photo by Michael Furino.
Every Saturday for the past four months, Michael Sforza, 11, spends his morning at Be the Best Sport, track and field lessons in Port Washington, Long Island. Running, leaping and landing on two feet doesn't seem difficult for most, but for Sforza, spending 45 minutes at the Port Washington Tennis Academy, running back and forth to constantly perfect his form is an accomplishment his father couldn't be more proud of.
Sforza enjoys sports, video games, the internet and exercising, but what differentiates him from most children his age is that he has autism. Sforza was diagnosed when he was 20 months old. His father, Nick Sforza said that although his son likes to be at home on the computer, this program, allows Sforza to get out of the house and spend time doing what he loves to do, run.
About six years ago, Nick Sforza heard about the sports organization for special needs children in Nassau County, which offers an array of programs ranging from soccer, basketball, track and field and others.
Edgar Sanchez, the Sports Program Director, said that although the organization is sports oriented, children also learn how to improve their listening skills and social functioning.
"One of the kids that we had in the previous class, he would walk around flailing his arms, falling on the ground, said Sanchez. "Any bit of sensory stimulation that was too much for him, he couldn't handle it, and now, he comes in and he knows what's expected out of him. He's able to control his emotions so much more."
Since 2009 Be the Best Sport has been providing Nassau County with sport programs for special needs adults and children. The organization aims to strengthen their motor, cognitive, and social skills.
The CDC reported that in 2016 nearly one in 68 children in the U.S. have autism.
It is important for these children to be active because it reduces negative behavior and obesity, experts said.
Ameera Ullah, 14, who has microcephaly, a condition where the brain develops abnormally.also participates in the program. Her father, Sayeed Ullah, said that there are three components that all humans need to benefit your life.
"Sports to give strength, music for amusement and education for tools of success," he said. "These three elements are very important in human life."
When Ameera was one and a half years old, her father noticed something was wrong when she was only crawling. A neurologist determined that Ameera had microcephaly, now, at 14, Ameera's brain functions like a 3 year old.
Whether or not the town or county provides sports programs for special needs children, Sayeed Ullah believes that doesn't give an excuse for parents to overlook their children's needs.
"Some towns don't have it," he said. "It doesn't mean the parents should sit on the couch. Physical fitness is very important for making your mind feel fresh and healthy. If the community doesn't provide it, you as a parent need to move forward, look forward."
Nick Sforza said he is grateful that his son has sports in his life.
"I think the hardest thing for a parent with a child on the spectrum is there aren't enough things to do for them," said Nick Sforza as he smiled while watching his son run his last lap around the track. "To have the ability to do this with him, it means more than anything."

Terror suspect stopped at laundromat after allegedly planting bombs in Elizabeth
Sonic Suds in Elizabeth, New Jersey is where laundromat worker, Jessenia Arriaza, claims terror suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami, spent hours in the day after his alleged attack in New York City. Photo by Kelly Braun
Jessenia Arriaza said she came face to face with New York City bomber suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami the day after the attack, that wounded 29 people in Chelsea.
Arriaza, 20, said she was working at Sonic Suds, a laundromat on Morris Avenue in Elizabeth, New Jersey, just about a half of a mile away from the Elizabeth Train Station. Right before she saw Rahami on Sunday night he had allegedly placed a backpack containing five bombs in a trash can near the train station.
Police said two men found the bomb in a backpack.
Arriaza noticed the short, brown-haired and brown-eyed man just "lounging" on the counter near the front desk of Sonic Suds.
"He came in here and he was washing clothes, but around 10:30p.m. I noticed he wasn't washing anything," said Arriaza, as she folded the freshly cleaned clothing that she had just taken out of the dryer. "He left after an hour and he came back in and he was just standing right there and he was just looking at me and then around 11:30p.m. he left."
Arriaza said she had seen Rahami twice and that during this last visit he did not talk to anyone.
She had no idea he was an alleged terrorist. But the next day when she saw his photo on the news, she knew he was the man in the store.
"I knew it was him because I turned on the news and he had the gray shirt and everything," said Arriaza.
During the two hours that Rahami was inside the laundromat, the Union County Bomb Squad, Federal Bureau of Investigation and New Jersey State Police were just down the road investigating the backpack full of explosives that police believe Rahami had planted at the Elizabeth Train Station.
Arriaza's sister, Jamie Arriaza had heard about the backpack that was found at the train station through the news. She also knew her sister worked just blocks away so she called her to let her know.
Arriaza, who was working at the laundromat until midnight that Sunday night, was on the phone with her sister when the F.B.I. was investigating the backpack that had "wires and a pipe" in it. After realizing the possible dangerous threat, the Union County Bomb Squad examined the backpack with a drone and determined that there was a chance that the bomb could be live.
The authorities sent in a pair of robots to test the backpack left at the train station.
"The bomb went off at like 12:40 a.m. or something," Jamie Arriaza, 19. She said that she had heard the explosion while on the phone with her sister. "She was on her way home and left her charger so she came back to open the laundry, get her phone charger, and she was like 'yo, you heard that?'"
Jamie Arriaza knew of the Rahami family and said that the news of this was shocking and that "he [Ahmad Rahami] was a really good boy."
Jamie Arriaza described Rahami as someone who came out of a really good family of brothers who had all graduated high school. But Rahami had a record of run-ins with the police.
She said the time he spent in Pakistan and Afghanistan changed him.
"He went over there and came back messed up," she said.
The Arriaza sisters said they were still shocked about what had happened just a few blocks away from not only the laundromat, but their home. They said that no one had known that Rahami was in the laundromat at the time that the bombs were placed by the train station.
"The scary part was he was here, not washing clothes until 11:30p.m.," said Jamie Arriaza. "What if he was watching, waiting for it to explode?"

Microsoft Acquires IoT Company Solair To Power Azure IoT Suite
- Microsoft has acquired Solair, an Italian company specialized in Internet of Things (IoT) services for the enterprise.
- Solair's technology will be integrated into the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite to enhance Microsoft's IoT offering for the enterprise.
- Microsoft is betting big on cloud services for the enterprise, and the Azure cloud computing platform is a key part of Microsoft's strategy.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has acquired Solair, an Italian company specialized in Internet of Things (IoT) services for the enterprise in a number of industries, including manufacturing, retail, food, and transportation. Solair's IoT customization and deployment solutions, built on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, are engineered to help businesses in any industry utilize IoT to run more efficiently and profitably.
"Solair shares our ambition for helping customers harness their untapped data and create new intelligence with IoT, and this acquisition supports our strategy to deliver the most complete IoT offering for enterprises," said Sam George, Partner Director for Azure IoT. "We're excited about their technology and talent – and delighted to welcome them to the Microsoft team."
The IoT is the upcoming network of billions of permanently online, connected devices able to exchange information with data servers and other connected devices, and coordinate their operations autonomously or semi-autonomously with limited human intervention. In the IoT world, you will finally be able to google the keys that you have lost somewhere: physical objects will carry embedded computers that will manage their functions, automatically connect to the Internet via WiFi and cellular data networks, and execute queries and commands.
"The integration of Solair's technology into the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite will continue to enhance our complete IoT offering for the enterprise," added George. "We'll have more specifics to share about how Solair is helping us build the intelligent cloud in the future. In the meantime, I'd like to reiterate my welcome to the Solair team."
The Microsoft Azure IoT Suite is a set of cloud-based services built on Microsoft's cloud computing platform Azure. "With the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, you can monitor assets to improve efficiencies, drive operational performance to enable innovation, and employ advance data analytics to transform your company with new business models and revenue streams," states Microsoft's documentation. "IoT is here today. And it starts with your things.
IoT is not just a futuristic technology trend. It can make a real difference right now. Rather than think about IoT as billions of devices and sensors connecting to systems and the cloud, think about it as the Internet of Your Things."
The Solair product family, to be integrated in the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, consists of three IoT solutions: IoT Products Suite: a set of 7 software modules to model and manage the most popular IoT applications; IoT Platform: a flexible, scalable and totally customizable application platform; and IoT Gateway: a hardware device that optimizes the data collection and transmission to the Cloud. "We intend to achieve better business through IoT," states the Solair website. "Our goal is to address business needs through the delivery of best-in-breed and end-to-end IoT solutions, ingrained in our commitment to realize our customers' vision."
Microsoft is betting big on cloud computing and cloud services for the enterprise, which is a key part of Microsoft's strategy. In November, Microsoft acquired Metanautix, a company specialized in data management for business analytics, to pursue an "intelligent cloud" strategy. In September, Microsoft acquired Adallom, an Israeli cloud security company focused on enhancing data security as enterprise data and processes migrate to the cloud. In November 2014, the Redmond giant bought another Israel-based cyber security company, Aorato, developer of a software solution to monitor access to central communication components in enterprise IT systems.
"From the very start, our mission has been to help customers quickly and easily gain access to the huge benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT)," said Solair CEO Tom Davis. "By building our solutions based on real customer requirements that allow them to gain real value, I'm confident that Solair's technology and talent will be able to make an important contribution to Microsoft's Azure IoT Suite and Microsoft's broader IoT ambitions."
According to Gartner, the IoT will support total services spending of $235 billion in 2016, up 22 percent from 2015. The number of connected devices in use globally will quadruple by 2020 to over 20 billion. In terms of hardware spending, consumer applications will amount to $546 billion in 2016, while the use of connected things in the enterprise will drive $868 billion in 2016.
Other top tech companies that are betting on the growth of the IoT include IBM (NYSE:IBM), which is developing a framework to bring connected cars to the IoT cloud, General Electric (NYSE:GE), with a renewed focus on the IoT-enabled Industrial Internet, and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), which recently announced its intent to acquire Jasper Technologies, Inc., a privately held company that develops a cloud-based IoT service platform.
The Microsoft move sits right at the intersection of two powerful trends: cloud computing and IoT. Both trends, and their combination, are revolutionizing the sector of enterprise computing and can be expected to be adopted by more and more clients and generate handsome profits in the next few years, which is good news for Microsoft investors.

State Rep. Warren Kampf is serving his third term as the representative of Pennsylvania's 157th Legislative District in the House of Representatives.
Kampf was first elected in November 2010 based on his ability to bring strong fiscal discipline to state government and to help re-invigorate a moribund economy.
In 2012, he was named co-chair of the House Life Science Caucus, the first freshman legislator to hold this honor. He also serves on the Appropriations, Liquor Control, Consumer Affairs, and Insurance committees.
Kampf's legislative agenda has focused on job creation, pension reform, crafting sustainable budgets, improving Pennsylvania's business climate and increasing competitiveness through regulatory reforms.
Kampf is the prime sponsor of landmark legislation which addresses the state's growing pension crisis and confronts an issue that has been pushed down the road by previous administrations. He has also sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to free schools from costly state mandates, to provide incentives encouraging job creation for companies, to create more efficient government with an online business filing portal and to reform the state's welfare system.
In the leadership role with the Life Science Caucus, Kampf advocates for government to help foster advances in the science and technology industry that are critical to job creation in Pennsylvania and for improving our lives. In his position, Kampf advocates for tax policy and initiatives that advance research and development within the life sciences economy in the Commonwealth. Such innovations help constituents of the 157th District, promote entrepreneurial activity in the whole Commonwealth, and can make great strides in the treatment and toward the cure of some of our most lethal diseases. In 2013, Kampf was named State Official of the Year by PABio, Pennsylvania's life sciences advocacy consortium. In 2014, Kampf was named to the Life Science Leadership Advisory Council of Pennsylvania.
Legislation Kampf authored has now created a program to invest more than $75 million of seed capital into technology and life sciences start-ups here in the Commonwealth. Kampf also authored legislation, now law, that eliminated the sunset on the Research and Development Tax Credit. Kampf also authored legislation which
now makes it possible to file corporate forms online with Pennsylvania's Bureau of Corporations and permits same day service for such filings.
Also in 2014, Kampf has been named a "Guardian of Small Business" by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). The "Guardians of Small Business" designation is bestowed upon those legislators who voted to support small businesses and small business issues.
Kampf's public service career includes serving as a criminal prosecutor as a Deputy Prosecutor in the York County District Attorney's Office and, later, as an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. He served seven years as a Tredyffrin Township Supervisor, with two years as the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
Born and raised in Devon, Pennsylvania, Representative Kampf is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy of Exeter, NH, Yale University, and Emory University School of Law. A partner with White and Williams, LLP, prior to his election, Representative Kampf today serves as Of Counsel for this firm.
Representative Kampf and his wife, Megan, are raising a son and a daughter in their home in Paoli.

Hearst magazine is shuttering its Cosmogirl title, but will keep the Cosmo spinoff's Website up and running. The move mirrors the one Time Inc (TWX) made two years ago, when it killed off TeenPeople but kept that mag's site up, too.

Showing off her newly cropped locks, Lara Bingle met the black tie dress code with perfection at last night's GQ Man of the Year Awards.
Rocking up in a Dion Lee jacket and self styled, "thrown together" ensemble, Lara cut a suave new look - another sign Bingle is working hard to resurrect her modelling career.
The new look comes just days after the ex-WAG was photographed on Sydney Harbour enjoying a day out with friends in a daring see-through outfit that left little to the imagination.
Bingle almost stole the show from top gong winner Ryan Kwanten who sizzled on the Opera House ruby rug in Ralph Lauren, saying he will spend more time in the air than on the ground in coming days.

The US politician and diplomat who has spent years quelling crises with North Korea, says Trump and Korean leader's increasingly unrestrained verbal provocations is risky.
With Trump threatening to rain "fire and fury" on the North while his top diplomat Rex Tillerson says he has "no concerns," Richardson told AFP in an interview that the unclear US stance is as dangerous as Pyongyang's fiery threat to launch missiles near Guam.
Q: Have we gone past the point of talks?
Richardson: "Pretty close. The two leaders seem to want to out-macho each other, out-shout each other and it's very unhelpful because it prevents the diplomats from trying to find a diplomatic out.
It's unfortunate because I don't think the president is going to change. He just doesn't listen to anybody, and Kim Jong-Un is unpredictable, so you're faced with those serious obstacles."
Q: What is the risk?
A: "It's looking close to the possibility for a miscalculation. The miscalculation may be a minor one, a fishing boat being shot at by the North Koreans, airspace invasion, artillery shells. That's where I've dealt with the North Koreans in the past, when these little incidents provoke the potential for real military action on either side."
Q: What do you think is going on in Pyongyang?
A: "The North Korean situation is very bleak. There's no information coming out of there except for the leader's statements. What worries me is not the daily attacks by the North Koreans. They always make those threats. What worries me is the heightened intensity of those attacks, they get specific about Guam, that they involve the foreign minister himself, Ri Yong-ho, who is a reasonable person, making those bombastic statements. I haven't seen that level of intensity."
Q: Are you reassured by the more prudent talk by Secretary of State Tillerson and other top Trump advisors?
A: "I believe they are level-headed, but they are speaking with mixed messages. They are not coordinating, and the biggest obstacle is the president himself, who either is not listening or is not talking to his advisors, or is off on his own.
The problem is the president and the mixed messages that his team is sending. My hope is he listens the most to Tillerson, as he should: he's the secretary of state. That's where policy should emanate, not from others."
Q: Are there people around Kim who are also more sober about the risks of escalating threats?
A: "A lot of the people in the foreign ministry I've known, they are level-headed, they are realistic. The issue is, do they have any juice, any clout with the security people, with Kim Jong-un? I don't know the answer.
Ri is level-headed. He speaks good English, he knows the US. But he's now foreign minister, he's got to follow the party line."
Q: What could keep a lid on this crisis?
A: "My only hope is that the Chinese are quietly working this with the North Koreans. They are the only ones that I believe that are having contacts right now."

PHILADELPHIA, Miss. -- The last thing Jewel
As they beat members of the tiny black congregation in rural Mississippi, the Klansmen ranted that the attack was punishment for participating in a voter registration drive organized by three civil rights activists.
One of the congregants prayed aloud for God to spare their lives.
"Something in her voice made the Klan so superstitious they stopped the beating," McDonald, 57, said recently as she brushed tears from her eyes.
But soon afterward, the church burned to the ground. When the three young activists -- James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman -- tried to investigate, they were abducted on a rural road and murdered. No one was ever tried for the killings.
Four decades later, McDonald and her neighbors have formed a multiracial coalition to memorialize the trio, and have renewed calls for an investigation. The group invited the men's families to attend a memorial service Sunday at the rebuilt Mt. Zion United Methodist Church.
Chaney, a 21-year-old black man from Mississippi, Schwerner, 24, and Goodman, 20 -- both white men from New York City -- were part of the 1964 "Freedom Summer" program in which young civil rights workers organized voter education and registration campaigns.
Their actions still resonate in this rural area northeast of Jackson, where residents remember the fear of going against the Klan.
Blacks had to pass a written test to vote, so the activists taught locals how to read.
Mt. Zion member Cornelius Steele said when he tried to register, a smirking clerk handed him a test that asked: "How many bubbles are in a bar of soap?"
Seven Klansmen were convicted of federal civil rights violations in the June 21, 1964, deaths, which became the subject of the 1988 movie "Mississippi Burning."
They received sentences of three to 10 years. The state never brought murder charges, and none of those convicted served more than six years. All are now dead.
Along with the Mississippi attorney general, coalition members have urged federal investigators to help find those who aided the killers. Federal authorities are still reviewing the matter.
Steve Wilkerson was 12 during Freedom Summer. He recalled that his father was determined to shield him from the hatred brewing as Klan violence escalated.
"He said: 'You can ride your bike and go to Little League, otherwise you'll spend your time playing in the garden,' " said Wilkerson, who is white.
Wilkerson, now the owner of an upscale men's clothing store, joined the coalition without hesitation. "If someone decides they aren't going to shop in my store because they don't want to honor those young men, they probably would have found some other reason," he said. "I think I can count on good people of all races."

General HealthCare Information: Insurance Coverage — Inpatient Services
(General HealthCare Information, part 3)
Having insurance for "major medical", for inpatient services is the one that people especially need to consider and have. True, services here are much less expensive than in the US BUT there is no such thing as free medical care here !
Insurance as a form of payment for inpatient services will only be consider with a MINIMUM of a 24 hour admission.
Upon admission to any private hospital in the area, the patient will be required to put down a deposit. This is like opening a tab at a bar. It doesn't matter if they have insurance or not. Minimal deposit is 10,000 pesos. If it is an admission to the Intensive Care Unit, a surgery, anything major, then a larger amount will be required. This can be done with a credit card. At (more…)
General HealthCare Information: Insurance Coverage — Outpatient Services
(General HealthCare Information, part 2)
The bottom line is this: Any and all outpatient services in the Banderas Bay area must be paid out of pocket and turned in for reimbursement. This includes lab work, X-rays, MRI's, CAT scans, medications, physician consults, physical therapy treatments, ambulance services, mental health consults and anything else that is done on an outpatient basis. As well, this includes Emergency Room visits (with no admission). It does not matter what kind of insurance that you have, even if it is a five star, top of the line, full coverage insurance.
In order to submit these claims to your insurance company for reimbursement you must have the following information-documents: (more…)

Jay Kristoff is the author of The Lotus War; a fantasy trilogy set in a Japanese-inspired steampunk dystopia. If it sounds awesome, well that's because it is awesome. Stormdancer & Kinslayer are already available, you can check 'em out here and follow Jay's blog here - do it, it's ace.
Jay was kind enough to give up his time to answer my rambling questions on music, metal and writing. Some of you will already know what a big fan of metal Jay is, and while the writer within me wanted to hail him with questions about writing and his books, I also loved asking him about music too.
So here it is, hope you enjoy and thank you, Jay!
AC: I'd love to hear about the role music, particularly metal, plays in your life, both in terms of writing and beyond. As you'd know, some writers use it to cut out distractions, some customise playlists for characters and some need silence to write. How do you use music?
JK: I generally can't listen to music while I write, it's too distracting. Though I recently found an Italian composer named Ludovico Einaudi who writes amazing stuff and I can actually tolerate playing while I'm writing. So that's a win. Usually I need TOTAL FUCKING SILENCE. Like, if my wife drops a shoe at the other end of the house, I curse all the gods in the sky and below it that I was ever born to this wretched existence.
Yeah, I'm a drama queen. :P
In terms of life, metal helped me through a lot of tough times when I was younger. I was an angry kid, and heavy music helped me get that aggression out in a healthy way. It gave me a community to be part of. Nowadays it's a venting system, really. People hear the music I have in my car stereo and ask "God, doesn't listening to this stuff make you angry?" and my stock response is "No, it calms me down."
AC: Followers of your twitter (@misterkristoff) know you're a big fan of some of the more blistering forms of metal, I'm curious to hear about what attracts you to those genres. The energy?
JK: Energy, yeah. Channelling negativity into positivity. I like that I can't listen to metal when I write, that it DEMANDS I sit and listen to it and it alone. Lyrical content is a huge draw for me, too. A lot of the bands I listen to are singing about issues close to my heart. What's wrong with the world and people. How to fix it. Taking something that makes you angry and making art with it. You listen to a lyricist like Randy Blythe or Winston McCall or Zack de la Rocha and they're asking you to THINK. And sure, you get some pretty silly lyrics in metal too, I'm not holding the genre up as sacrosanct, but in general, it's a thinking person's kind of music. And hell, screaming along to "middle fingers up if you don't give a fuck" is a lot healthier than going out and actually wrecking stuff.
AC: I agree. And urging people to think for themselves is probably a pretty awesome message to take from any genre, huh? In light of that, if you were to pinpoint any issue common to metal lyrics that's been reflected in your own work, what would it be?
JK: Hmm. Probably the power of the individual to change the world. That's a big part of the Lotus Wars.
AC: A couple of years back you posted a link to an orchestral score for a chapter from Stormdancer as composed by Will Musser, who contacted you about writing the music. How does that feel as a writer of fiction, to have your work spark creation in another medium? Can you speak a little about how it happened and how collaborative the process was? Have you considered working on an audio companion to the Lotus books? (Big job, I know, but wouldn't it be cool?)
JK: Oh yeah, Will's brilliant. I'd like to say I had something to do with that awesome piece of music, but really, I just said "HELL YES" when he asked if he could do it. And yeah, any time someone takes something I've made and makes something new with it, be it music or art or poetry or whatever, it's amazing to me. But then, I'm amazed anyone other than my mum reads my stuff.
Audio companion to the LW books is a great idea, but I'd probably get arrested for copyright infringement. And I'm FULLY aware that 98% of the population consider the music I love to be obnoxious noise, so I don't imagine it'd be a big seller. :D
AC: In lieu of a companion, reckon you could share some ideas on bands or albums that might suit the Shima Isles? (Strapping Young Lad sprang my mind while reading Stormdancer, as did Twelve Foot Ninja.) Or what about Yukiko or Akihito perhaps, what would their personal theme songs be?
JK: Well, probably the biggest influence on Stormdancer would be Rage Against the Machine's The Battle of Los Angeles album. I was listening to that pretty much on constant rotate during the period I wrote SD's first draft. Songs like Guerrilla Radio and War Within a Breath totally shaped the narrative. But I like to throw in a few metal easter eggs, so quite a few chapter titles are favourite songs of mine. Descending, Gravity, Purity, etc. I do this kind of thing all the time, just to amuse myself.
(Nobody else finds them, but hey, I'm having fun :P ) [AC: Awesome, I totally missed those!]
AC: Again, on your blog you discuss music as free of the burden of language, as something that creates understanding between people. Anyone who's been to a good gig has seen it, has felt it. The last show I saw was an awesome Japanese funk/jazz band Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro, and they were amazing – the whole crowd, of varying ages, backgrounds and whatever, the whole crowd was unified.
Would you say that music, especially live music, is a useful contrast to the oft-times solitary life of a writer? Do you feel like you need it sometimes, just to break from the writing cycle of 'quiet'?
JK: Oh yeah, I love going to live shows, that's where the energy is. I love seeing the weird mix of hyper-aggression and affection you only find in a metal pit — these kid just smashing into each other like they're out to kill one another, but if someone falls over, everyone stops and helps pick them up.
As I've got older, a lot of my buddies have stopped going to shows, settled down, had families and all that, but I hope I never stop. I wanna be the 60 year old dude in the pit. Live shows are really one of the few occasions I get out of the goddamn house nowadays. And yeah, I love that connectivity being in the crowd brings. It's one of the few occasions I don't object to the mob mentality. And it's one of the few places you can scream/roar your lungs out and nobody looks at you like you should be locked up.
AC: You've also described music as one of your top 5 reasons for living – can we hear about the other 4?
JK: My wife. She's pretty much my everything.
Writing. Not sure what I ever did before I did this.
My friends. You get older, you really start to value the people who can still tolerate your bullshit.
My family. The blood is the life.
AC: To finish, how about a quick head to head on Australian progressive metal band Karnivool – Sound Awake vs Themata?
JK: Oh maaaaan, hard call. Ghhggghhhnnnnnnnnn . . .
I think I'll go with Sound Awake. It was a little more experimental. Songs like Change and Deadman are just sonic lunacy. The arrangements were a little braver, a little more complex — not that bravery and complexity is always a good thing (left unchecked, you end up with an album like Asymmetry). But they're both great albums. Love em.

A class of eleven year olds were asked to bring something special in for the next "Show and Tell" session. As it was a multi-faith school they were asked to bring something that represented their faith. Joseph showed a star to the class, "I am Jewish so I have brought in the Star of David." Maria came to the front of the class with some special beads. "I am Catholic and this is my rosary". Then Charlie came out to the front, "I am a Methodist and this is a cake." This is an old joke and I apologise if you have heard it before, but it still makes me smile! I believe that it is always good to have the excuse for a big celebration and it is also great to celebrate some of the little things in life.
When we are in hospital, ill at home or are feeling overwhelmed with life, all we long for is to do the simple, ordinary things like going for a short walk or sitting in the garden listening to the birds. Such things can become a real celebration of everyday life if we do them with awareness. Sometimes it is important to stop and really see the things around us, to look in detail at the beauty of a flower or the pattern of the clouds, to allow ourselves to celebrate the beauty of everyday life and to thank God.
I'd like to share this simple prayer with you all. It was used during my recent retreat and I found it quite thought-provoking. Lord, help us to accept this day as a gift to be treasured, a life to be enjoyed, a trust to be kept and a hope to be fulfilled. Amen.
As well as celebrating the small things in life, bigger celebrations, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries family parties (and cake of course!) are great because they give us a chance to review what has happened in the past and take time to be thankful.
So let us all take a moment, this month, either on our own or with friends - maybe even with a cup of tea and a piece of cake - to thank God for the work we try to do here in Epsom, for the people both now and in the past who have worked for this church and to pray for the years ahead.

Italy Day 7: Pantheon
Friday, July 6, 2012
We hopped off the bus where the random teenager kid told us to (thankfully he was honest!). We walked down a little bit and then saw the MASSIVE building to the right of us...we made it to the Pantheon! I couldn't even begin to fit the whole thing in a picture (this is the side of the building).
This poem was outside the door of the entrance, love it!
I'm going to straight up copy word for word what my Frommer's guide says about the Pantheon (Btw I should probably give the guide a true credit, I've used it in almost every post for info on the places we visited and we used it CONSTANTLY on our trip, the book we used was Frommer's Italy Day by Day Guide. Highly recommend it!!!):
"Pantheon is hands down the most masterful architectural feat of ancient Rome. It is almost perfectly preserved. The porch consists of 16 monolithic Egyptian granite columns, weighing 82 tons each. Inside the 44m wide (143 feet) dome, poured in concrete in the 120s AD and never structurally modified - is pierced by a 9m wide (30 feet) oculus, open to the sky. While most ancient buildings lost their marbles to the popes, the Pantheon's floor and brick walls retain their rich revetment of yellow marble and purple porphyry."
Dome ceiling
It's true, it was AMAZINGLY well preserved!
You can sort of get an idea of the massive height
Chapel of the Annunciation
Tomb of Victor Emanuel II
(first king of Italy from 1820-1878)
Zach couldn't get over the fact that there was an open hole in the ceiling. He kept talking about drainage issues and how it was possible...then we found a sign that talked about the ancient floor :) It said that the floor was made of red marble from Egypt, white marble blotched with blue from Asia Minor and red-veined yellow marble from Numidia. It had a concave center which is convex at the sides with a drainage system for the removal of the water. Question answered :)
You can kinda see the slope here
High Alter
Tomb of Raphael
Tomb of King Humbert I
(second king of Italy from 1844-1900)
and of Margherita Savoia
(queen of Italy from 1851-1926)
This statue depicts Saint Joseph with Christ as a child
We assumed this read "Jesus"?
As we were finishing up looking at everything they announced they were closing. Perfect timing or whhhhat?!?! And you should have seen all the people outside trying to come in when they shut it down! I'm sure it happens ALL the time. Like I mentioned before, 7:30 is really when people start going out to eat and such...it's a pretty early time to be closing a major landmark down.
Front view
The horse and buggy behind me reminds me of a little story from our Colosseum visit. Remember how I said the bus system was crazy confusing? Well we saw a horse and buggy parked nearby and Zach asked them how much it would cost to ride it from there to the Pantheon. We did the whole carriage ride thing at Central Park in NYC on our honeymoon (we did a 24 hour stay in NYC and literally did IT ALL in the time period...I need to blog about that someday...we were hardcore!) and it's a romantic thing to do. We thought it'd be a nice way to end the trip and it'd get us where we needed to be. Um. The guy wanted to charge us $120 EUROS which is a lot more in US dollars. No thanks! We stuck with our free bus ride :)
Anyways...back to the Pantheon. I don't know if the pictures of it really do it justice in the SLIGHTEST bit. We loved it. I would say St. Peter's and the Pantheon were two of our favorite buildings. It was really, really awesome. Again, just seeing something SO OLD still be so beautiful was incredible. Seeing old stuff never really got old on this trip ;)
After we got kicked out...we sat down at this fountain (the third obelisk I think we saw of the 13 total in Rome) and looked through all of our guide books to figure out where to eat dinner.
View of the front side of the Pantheon so you can see the curve
Square where we debated dinner choices
I'm not sure what place we decided on for dinner but we walked all over the place to find it and it ended up being a place where they served ONE meal option. It was a different one every night but you have no choice but to eat what they made that night. Yeah right. We aren't hardcore picky eaters...but we are pickier than that. So we walked next door and ate there. Not something we picked from a guidebook or a suggested list. Just a place that a lot of people walking around seemed to go to and we overheard a view mentioning how good it was.
We told the waiter we wanted a private table inside. We had pretty much eaten outside at every meal on our trip and it was our last night so we wanted to be a little more romantic. We got seated in this lovely room all by ourselves!
And then two seconds later a loud, obnoxious tour group came in and filled up most of the other tables haha. And soon after an older gay couple sat down right next to us. Like our legs would be touching if I spread eagle...it was awkward. Not because they were older or gay, but because they were American. Haha. So they spoke English and so did we and it was obvious they were trying to have a romantic dinner...and so were we but yet it was impossible b/c we were just too close. I wasn't trying to listen to their conversation but I had no choice but to hear everything they said and they had no choice but to hear everything we said yet none of us every spoke to each other. I think none of us wanted to talk because we really were attempting to keep the mood romantic and you know talking to random people totally kills a romantic mood! So it was an awkward dinner...
We were STARVING though (remember...all we had to eat was those sandwiches at our lunch at like 11:30 and it was after 8 at this point) so we didn't care about the mood or the setting or who was where. We just wanted to EAT. For the first time we both ordered multiple courses :) Go big before you go home right?
Zach's first course: Some waaaaay too peppered pasta. I didn't care. My mouth was on fire it was so peppery but I tore that junk up.
My first course: Gnocchi pasta. I'd never heard of gnocchi but it's like little potatoes I think? Zach and I LOVED it. I don't know if it's b/c we were just starving or if it was actually that amazing, but when we came home I actually bought some to try to cook from Publix ;)
Second course: some type of spaghetti I think? I don't remember even trying his...I just REALLY liked mine :)
Mine had artichoke in it. I LOVE me some artichoke...it was YUMMY!!!
We took our time and savored each bite of our last main Italian meal. Thankfully, it was also GOOD :) We weren't too impressed with the service but just getting to sit down was a nice treat after such a long day...and it wasn't even over yet! ONE last Italy post to go!!!!!!

The nursery children seem happy and settled at Nursery. We are delighted with how well they are all doing! They are responding well to the routines of the classroom.
On Wednesdays we go to the hall for Keys Stage 1 and Foundation Stage assembly and they are all confident heading into the hall for PE with Mr Simmonds on Thursdays.
The children brought in ICT toys that flash, move or make sounds. Here are some of the children holding their toys for their friends to see.
The children have enjoyed talking about their families and we all looked at their family pictures. The class have drawn wonderful pictures of their families. Do pop into the classroom to have a look at drop off or collection time.
Our topic for this week has been 'Hands and feet' so we have done some finger painting, hand printing and even wellie printing!
Here are some more photos to show you the fun we have at Nursery.....
Next week we will continue the theme of 'Hands and feet' We will look at using our hands and feet to stamp and clap rhythms.

Point Reyes National Seashore is a 71,028-acre (287.44 km2) park preserve located on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County, California, USA. The Point Reyes peninsula is a well defined area, geologically separated from the rest of Marin County and almost all of the continental United States by a rift zone of the San Andreas Fault, about half of which is sunk below sea level and forms Tomales Bay. The fact that the peninsula is on a different tectonic plate than the east shore of Tomales Bay produces a difference in soils and therefore to some extent a noticeable difference in vegetation.
The peninsula includes wild coastal beaches and headlands, estuaries, and uplands, with a coastline that bears a striking resemblance to Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. Although parts of the Seashore are commercially farmed, and parts are under the jurisdiction of other conservation authorities, the National Park Service provides signage and seeks to manage visitor impact on the entire peninsula and virtually all of Tomales Bay. The Seashore also administers the parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation area, such as the Olema Valley, that are adjacent to the Seashore.
The Point Reyes Lighthouse attracts whale-watchers looking for the Gray Whale migrating south in mid-January and north in mid-March.
The Point Reyes Lifeboat Station is a National Historic Landmark. It is the last remaining example of a rail launched lifeboat station that was common on the Pacific coast.
Some of Point Reyes National Seashore's best and least crowded highlights are accessible only on foot, such as Alamere Falls, a freshwater stream that cascades down a 40-foot bluff onto Wildcat Beach.
The Point Reyes National Seashore attracts 2.5 million visitors annually.
