We spend a wonderful morning with our Greeter Claus. It was a very good idea to go in three different areas. We could thus discover various sides of the city that show its diversity. Our Greeter Claus is very knowledgeable about his city and we could feel he truly loves this place.
Thanks a lot and welcome to Paris. We have Greeter there as well.

Exclude files when using the du to estimate disk usage
It is easy to use du command to estimate disk usage, however, sometimes you want to ignore some files during the calculation.
To do so, try
# du -h --exclude='*.bak'
The above command will exclude all the file end with the extension .bak during the disk space calculation.
One Response to "Exclude files when using the du to estimate disk usage"
So, the same as tar. Good to know

Brand Launch TemplateA significant amount of effort and planning goes into branding. In fact, we see organizations put so much energy into their brand – developing a logo, tagline, marketing materials, website and more – that they are running low on steam when it comes time to officially launch their new brand into the world. While it's easy to develop a mental checklist of all the things you need to get done, you need a well-documented plan to give your new brand the attention it really deserves.
You may not want to add more work to your already overloaded plate, but documenting your plan doesn't have to be intimidating. A one- to two-page plan is all you need and we promise you'll feel much more organized and prepared when it comes time to execute the countless activities that are part of an effective brand launch...

Swifts in Collserola
Written by Lucy Brzoska
The city doesn't get more pristine than this. It's the middle of July, typically a month of stagnant heat, when the sky is discoloured by smog. But in today's diaphanous atmosphere, Barcelona is visible in intricate detail and the sea is like deep blue silk. After yesterday's torrential storm, there's a mountain freshness in the air that promises a good night's sleep. The soaring swifts take your heart that little bit higher.
I'm in the southern part of Collserola, after catching the funicular to Vallvidrera, where rich Barcelona citizens used to retire for the summer, in the days when people didn't travel far for their holidays. Once you leave the houses behind, you can follow the ridge to Sant Pere Màrtir, the last hill before the Sierra de Collserola drops down to the Llobregat river plain. There used to be an ermita here, before they tore it down in the 1930s and put up a red and white radio transmitter. Only the name remains, and the stunning views, as the hill falls abruptly away to the city.
I turn inland, where the slopes are more gradual and there's a labyrinth of paths among pines, small holm oaks and broom. There's a restlessness about the landscape. A considerable part of Barcelona's swift population are also spending their Sunday evening on Collserola and the hillsides are swarming with them.
Mainly Common swifts (Apus apus), but the majestic Alpine swifts (Apus melba) stand out with their gleaming white breasts. Their wingspan approaches that of the approaching kestrel, who suddenly accelerates and takes a swoop at one of the house martins mingling in the crowd, making it yelp in alarm.
The path takes me to one of the deepest recesses, where Fragrant clematis (Clematis flammella) has run amok, smothering other plants and bushes with white flowers. The swifts are here too, swishing past, cutting the air to ribbons.
I start climbing up among oak trees, and the swifts cast their shadows on the path. There must be hordes of insects after yesterday's rain, and they're intent on hoovering the lot up. The only sound is the slash of their narrow, flexible wings, interrupted by the cheerful gossip of some passing swallows.
Up the grassy slopes, nearly back to the top of the ridge, the density of swifts is even greater. They pass very close, turning incredibly tight circles at relentless speed, weaving intricate flight paths. My camera can only capture them as flickering symbols.
Most of the city is now in shadow, as the sun sets. Only the part nearest the coast still glows. To the north, powerful storm clouds have risen, reflected in the sea.
When the sun has gone down, the swifts ease up, and begin to drift back towards the city. Perhaps some will be going back to their nest holes, even though the breeding season is virtually over. The Alpines are here till October but the Common swifts only stay for three months a year. Each one is linked to a particular barrio, street, unobtrusive hole.
The orange horizon behind them, the swifts float out into the dusk. It's a vertiginous thought that they'll be on the wing non-stop till next spring. And those who survive their first migration have 2 or 3 years of flight ahead.
Excellent website about swifts:

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here's our full Advertising Policy.
Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.
Until tomorrow, November 14, 2014, Virgin America has a sale on First Class and Main Cabin Select tickets for 50% off the regular price.
And JetBlue has a deal on award flights, also ending tomorrow. You'll get 20% of your points back when you book an award ticket (but not right away).
There are some restrictions, which I'll explain.
1. Virgin America 50% off Sale
Link: Virgin America Sale
Link: Virgin America Sale Terms & Conditions
You'll get 50% off the base fare (not taxes and fees) on First Class and Main Cabin Select (Premium Economy) tickets if you book by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on November 14, 2014.
Use promotion code "PERK50" when choosing your flights. The sale is valid for travel between November 20, 2014, and November 28, 2014.
Once you've entered the code, you'll see the discount on First Class and Main Cabin Select fares.
Note: Coach class tickets are NOT included in the sale.
This could be a great opportunity for folks to try out First Class or Main Cabin Select for about the same price (or even less than) a coach class ticket!
For example, a 1-way ticket between Chicago and Los Angeles in coach class costs ~$290. But with this sale, you could get a Main Cabin Select ticket for $181, or a First Class ticket for $334. That's a very good deal!
And this is an even better deal because it's valid for Thanksgiving travel. Normally, flights booked around major holidays are very expensive, so this could work out very well if you need a last-minute flight.
There are a few restrictions. According to the terms and conditions:
- You can only get the discount on itineraries for up to 2 people (so if you're traveling as a larger group, you'll have to make separate reservations)
- If you change or cancel your flights, you'll pay fees and lose the discount on Main Cabin Select fares (you won't pay fees on First Class changes or cancellations, just the difference in fare)
- You can't apply the promo code to prior bookings
Note: You'll get 1 free checked bag if you book a Main Cabin Select ticket, and 2 free checked bags with a First Class ticket. That's an extra savings compared to a non-refundable coach class ticket, because you'd normally be charged $25 to check a bag.
Remember, you'll get free food, drink, and entertainment in both Main Cabin Select and First Class. And lots of extra legroom!
If you book a flight, don't forget to use a credit card that earns bonus points on airline tickets.
For example, the Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express earns 3 points per $1 you spend on flights booked directly with airlines. Or you could use the Chase Sapphire Preferred card to earn 2 points per $1 spent on travel.
Emily and I won't be able to take advantage of this deal, but I know lots of folks will! Some flights are already sold out, so if you want to book a ticket, I'd do it quickly. Remember, the sale ends tomorrow, November 14, 2014, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
2. Get 20% of Your Points Back on JetBlue
Link: JetBlue 20% Points Rebate
If you book an award ticket on JetBlue before 11:59 pm (local or Eastern Time, whichever is earlier) November 14, 2014, you'll get 20% of your points back!
This deal is valid for travel between today and January 31, 2015. Points will be automatically returned to your account 4 to 6 weeks after the end of the travel period.
JetBlue has a revenue-based frequent flyer program, which means the number of points required for an award flight depends on the price of a paid ticket.
Normally, 1 JetBlue point is worth ~1.5 cents towards the cost of a ticket.
For example, a $150 ticket would cost ~10,000 points.
But because you'll get 20% of the points back, you'd only pay 8,000 points for the same $150 ticket. So with this deal, your points are worth ~1.9 cents each ($150 cost of ticket / 8,000 points).
This could be an even better deal for folks who are targeted for the 40% American Express transfer bonus to JetBlue. Especially if you book cheaper, short-haul flights.
And remember, you always get your 1st checked bag free on JetBlue.
Note: Only new bookings qualify for the 20% points rebate. And if you change your reservation to dates outside of the travel period, you won't get any points back.
Bottom Line
Virgin America is having a 50% off sale on Main Cabin Select and First Class tickets. Book by November 14, 2014, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time, for travel between November 20, 2014, and November 28, 2014.
Use promotion code "PERK50" to get the discount.
And JetBlue will give you 20% of your points back when you book an award ticket before 11:59 pm (local or Eastern time, whichever is earlier) November 14, 2014. The deal is valid for travel between today and January 31, 2015.
Will you take advantage of these deals to book last-minute Thanksgiving travel?

Pacific Region Stock ETFs
The Pacific region merits a chunk of any balanced portfolio of ETFs. The nations of the Pacific have evidenced a good comeback in recent years.
With the rapid growth of China as the world's apparent soon-to-be largest consumer, surrounding nations may bask in economic glory. Australia, in particular, has benefited greatly from the recent run-up in prices for natural resources caused in part by Chinese demand.
And Japan still leads the world in labor productivity, despite some obvious economic challenges (such as a serious real-estate collapse and a level of debt greater than that of any other major nation).
On the other hand, the threat posed by North Korea, the tensions between China and Taiwan, and the presence of nuclear weapons in unfriendly neighbors India and Pakistan loom like black clouds over the region.
Despite these black clouds, the Pacific region is a good place to invest.
Vanguard Pacific ETF (VPL)
Indexed to: MSCI Pacific Index, which follows roughly 500 companies in five Pacific region nations
Expense ratio: 0.14 percent
Top five country holdings: Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand
The cost can't be beat. And 500 companies certainly allows for good diversification. As with all Vanguard funds, tax efficiency is tops. Japan — the world's second-largest stock market — makes up 64 percent of this fund, considerably more than the BLDRS Asia 50. If you hold this ETF at Vanguard, you'll also pay no commission to buy or sell.
BLDRS Asia 50 ADR (ADRA)
Indexed to: The Bank of New York Mellon Asia 50 ADR Index, a market-weighted basket of 50 Asian market-based ADRs representing a total of 8 countries. (Japan accounts for 44 percent of the pie.)
Expense ratio: 0.30 percent
Top five country holdings: Japan, Australia, China, Taiwan, India
The cost is higher than Vanguard's Pacific ETF, and you're tapping into fewer companies. Still, 50 companies isn't bad diversification. This fund also gives a bit more weight to non-Japan stock markets, which may be a good thing — although note that some of the countries represented are clearly emerging market nations.
If you use ADRA, you'll want to factor that fact into your overall portfolio analysis. All in all, ADRA is a good investment.
iShares MSCI Japan (EWJ)
Indexed to: MSCI Japan Index, representing approximately 340 of Japan's largest companies
Expense ratio: 0.54 percent
Top five country holdings: Just Japan here
iShares doesn't offer a Pacific region ETF. If you want the equivalent of either the BLDRS or Vanguard Pacific ETFs, you need to buy at least two iShares ETFs: the MSCI Japan and the MSCI Pacific ex-Japan (EPP). That's a doable option for larger portfolios, but with a cost ratio several times greater than Vanguard's.

Say hello to a strawberry ice cream recipe that will keep you coming back time and time again.
I can never say no to strawberries when they're on sale at the supermarket. They're so good simply eaten on their own. This strawberry ice cream recipe takes them to a whole new level. You get that massive hit of strawberry flavour that no store bought ice cream could ever give you.
If strawberries aren't in season in your part of the world, you can use frozen berries. It's not quite as good, but you can still make some great ice cream.
To get more dessert ideas check out my ice cream recipes page.
Check out my video on how to make strawberry ice cream
The major question: Bits or no bits?
For this article I made both to show how they look. Some people love fruit pieces in their ice cream. The problem with strawberries is that they have a really high water content (91%!). This is a big problem when creating a strawberry ice cream recipe. Any water turns into ice when frozen and the result for your ice cream… icy flavourless pieces of strawberry in your dessert.
My preference
So most of the time I prefer to blitz the strawberries and leave the extra bits out. If you must add the strawberry pieces, consider chopping them the night before and soaking them in vodka overnight. This will result in a better add-in. Also, make sure the pieces are cut very finely.
No matter what option you choose, it's a good idea to also add some skim milk powder. This is great for encouraging a more creamy texture in your ice cream.
You'll start by taking your fully chilled strawberries and giving them a quick wash, then dry them thoroughly and cut them up.
Toss them in a blender until they're reduced to a smooth pulp.
You'll find that your pulp will still have some bits in it that aren't ideal for ice cream so strain to get rid of them.
Now you can simply toss the strawberries into a bowl with all the other ingredients and whisk until well combined. You're ready to churn! But it's always customary to have a quick glass of strawberry ice cream mix. Adding a hit of vodka turns this into a winning beverage.
To churn or not to churn?
I love my ice cream machine. It makes child's play of making ice cream. If you don't have one it's still fine. You can add the ice cream base straight to the freezer. When it's starting to harden, take it out and whisk until nice and smooth. Then keep freezing until fully hardened.
Here is the strawberry ice cream looking pretty damn fine. It's churned and ready to add to an airtight container so you can harden in the freezer. If you like soft serve, I recommend eating this amazing frozen dessert now. It's like a flavour bomb of strawberry which you can taste better than the fully hardened version. Kids would eat this for breakfast if you gave them the chance.
The final strawberry ice cream!
Here is the finished hardened ice cream ready to devour. You'll notice this ice cream has no small bits of strawberry in it. For this article I also made a batch with strawberry in it for comparison. You can see that picture at the top of the page.

Europe: Shares rally as FTSE starts 2017 by setting record high
[LONDON] Strength in financials and commodity-related stocks continued to underpin European equity markets on Tuesday, with Britain's blue-chip index starting the new year at a record high and other major indexes hitting fresh peaks.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed 0.7 per cent higher after hitting its highest level since December 2015. Britain's FTSE 100, shut on Monday for a holiday, closed 0.5 per cent higher at 7,177.89 points, a record closing high, after a fresh all-time peak of 7,205.45 earlier in the day.
"We've been particularly bullish on the FTSE whilst a lot of people were going short," said John Moore, trader at Berkeley Capital. "It's just good news all round - gold's up, we've had a bit of a bounce-back in oil as well ... propping up the European market, so we've been buying into this in the last week or so. We expect the trend to continue."
Europe's basic resources sector and oil & gas were up 1.3 per cent and 0.9 per cent respectively, buoyed by stronger commodity prices.
Financials were stand-out winners, with the Stoxx Europe 600 Banks index finishing 2.8 per cent higher after hitting a one-year high.
Banks were in demand as concerns of a tighter regulatory environment were pushed back. Global banking regulators postponed the approval of long-awaited rules designed to avert a repeat of the financial crisis after failing to agree on the minimum amount of capital banks must hold.
Italian banks were once again among top risers, with newly merged Banco BPM gaining 7.2 per cent on its second day of trading, building on a strong rise in the previous session.
The Italian banking index, which slumped more than 38 per cent in 2016 on worries about bad loans, closed 2.1 per cent higher after hitting its highest level since May 2016.
Fellow banks Credit Suisse and Bank of Ireland were also among top Stoxx gainers, with their shares rising 6.4 per cent and 6.8 per cent respectively.
Among other sharp movers, Euronext surged nearly 7 per cent after London Stock Exchange Group agreed to sell its French clearing business to Euronext for 510 million euros (S$775.4 million) in its bid to win regulatory approval for a merger with Deutsche Boerse.
InterContinental Hotels Group hit a record high then closed up 1.3 per cent, boosted by an upgrade to "overweight" from "equal-weight" from Barclays.
Barclays analysts said that they expected IHG's results in February to be a positive catalyst for the stock, and saw a benefit from the firm's exposure to the United States.
However, a downgrade weighed on British retailer Next, which fell 4.3 per cent.
Deutsche Bank cut its rating on the stock to "hold" from "buy", citing a more challenging year for European general retailers in 2017, especially in the UK, where they expect inflation to lead to a softening in demand.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai was moved to a safe area and his palace went into lockdown as Kabul was hit by a wave of attacks including a failed attempt to target one of his deputies on Sunday, officials said.
The embattled president was discussing the budget with a group of lawmakers when explosions and gunfire rocked three locations in the capital, including an upmarket diplomatic enclave close to his fortified palace, one of his assistants said.
All his afternoon meetings, including one with a delegation of an insurgent group in Kabul for peace talks, were cancelled, the official said requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Additional bodyguards were deployed in the presidential palace and a meeting with a delegation of Hezb-i-Islami, an insurgent group led by former prime minister Gulbadin Hekmatyar, now holding peace talks with Karzai was cancelled, the assistant said.
Lutfullah Mashal, a spokesman for the National Directorate of Security (NDS) the war-torn country's intelligence agency, said that Mohammad Karim Khalili, one of Karzai's two deputies was one of the targets of today's attacks.
Mashal said the group tasked with attacking Khalili's home in west Kabul was captured before reaching their target.

Stora Hotellet Bryggan in Fjällbacka
Hotels | Fjällbacka village, on the Bohuslän coast, clusters brightly and beautifully around its harbour where the boats set sail for the Fjällbacka archipelago. Vetteberget rock towers above the village, offering fantastic views of the nearby islands.
Fans of Swedish crime fiction queen Camilla Läckberg will recognise Vetteberget and the giant split in the rock, known locally as Kungsklyftan, from her best-selling books. This scar on the rock face appears in many of her books and film adaptations of them.
If you look out from Vetteberget you'll get the same view of the Fjällbacka archipelago that legendary Hollywood actress Ingrid Bergman once did. She loved visiting Fjällbacka on her way to and from her island home-from-home on Dannholmen island. The world famous bust of her looking out to the archipelago sits in Ingrid Bergman square.
Stora Hotellet Bryggan sits quayside at Fjällbacka harbour. With Vetteberget Rock forming the backdrop and panoramic views of the Fjällbacka archipelago from our deck, our setting is as beautiful as it is dramatic.
We offer a top-quality stay with light 'Newport-style' room interiors and first-class eating at Restaurang Matilda, Everts Tapasbar and Slajdarns Grill & Bar. After enjoying our West Coast cuisine, featuring local caught lobster, langoustine, oysters and prawns, round off the evening with a drink and watch the sun go down at our Piano Bar. Otherwise, head for our Upperdeck nightclub – the place to be seen in this part of the world.
Daytime, drop by our Bryggan Café/Bistro for salads, sandwiches and coffee and don't miss San Remo, our garden café, for fresh pastries.
Join us at Stora Hotellet Bryggan year-round for a real West Coast Sweden stay.

Shirl Penney
Shirl Penneyage 38
Founder, president and CEO, Dynasty Financial Partners
Shirl Penney started at the bottom. Now, he's here.
Here is the 32nd floor of a gleaming tower of glass in Manhattan that peaks at Mr. Penney's Midtown apartment — and Central Park. It's a far climb from the makeshift office in his garage where he built Dynasty Financial Partners, and an even greater ascent from his beginnings.
Mr. Penney, whose clients cater to the wealthiest of the wealthy, said he lived on food stamps and was raised by a step-grandfather, whose schooling stopped after the fourth grade.
"I can't settle because if I settled I'd be letting him down," Mr. Penney said.
He describes his business as what Levi Strauss was to the Gold Rush. His unique firm outfits businesses in a market segment — registered investment advisers — that seems to have struck gold, taking market share from the largest wealth managers.
Already a veteran at 38, Mr. Penney worked for Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Citigroup Inc., where he ran the VIP meetings they held between uber-wealthy clients and the firm's senior executives, such as Sanford I. "Sandy" Weill. Those meetings still resonate: They were proof-positive that true wealth comes from running your own business.
"The only thing, broadly, that they all had in common was that their success had come from equity," he said. "It's difficult to get that wealth from being a W-2 employee."
Building robust infrastructure for the advisers they serve — and educating them on what Dynasty does — was a challenge.
"In any new business, you're going to have battle scars and you're going to make mistakes," he said. "The amount of innovation in the last five years is greater than the 50 before that," Mr. Penney said.

I have a love/hate relationship with mascara. I love that it brings out my lashes and makes me feel like a more enhanced version of myself. But I hate that the only formula I can use is waterproof (I have impossibly straight lashes). Even if I don't plan on crying that day.
Waterproof mascara is incredibly annoying for a number of reasons. It feels heavy and uncomfortable, it smudges, is annoying to remove, and my lashes always fall out in the process. So with my sister-in-law's wedding in mind (where I'm a bridesmaid and will have to wear makeup), I decided to see if I can find a "clean" mascara (aka safer alternative to traditional formulas) that's better for my lashes and will be more comfortable to wear overall.
So I ended up on Follain.com (a website that sells clean skincare and beauty products) and found W3LL People Expressionist Mascara in Pro Black ($21.99). I read the reviews and one of them mentioned that the mascara smudges. Not good. But I also noticed that one of Follain's customer service reps recommended to prime the lashes with Jane Iredale PureLash Extender & Conditioner ($19) to remedy the smudging problem. I was intrigued so I ordered both. None of the reviews seemed to be from people with straight lashes so I was definitely curious to see if it would even work on me.
No Mascara
With Mascara
Left eye: Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara (Lashes look a bit clumpy but fuller).
Right eye: W3LL People Expressionist Mascara in Pro Black (Lashes look softer and more wispy).
After 3 days of testing out the formula in hot NYC weather, I have come to the following conclusions:
A primer may not be absolutely necessary to prevent smudging, but it will thicken the lashes. And yes, the recommended 30 second wait time to dry is necessary. In addition to priming the lashes for mascara, the Jane Iredale PureLash Extender & Conditioner can also be used as a nighttime eyelash treatment. Considering the price, I may just stick to using it only as a primer for mascara. As for the W3LL People Expressionist Mascara in Pro Black,I couldn't even feel it on my lashes! There was no smudging, clumping, or crunchiness. And the cherry on top? It was so easy to remove and no lashes had to be sacrificed in the process. Hallelujah.
The only major difference is having to reverse my mascara routine. So instead of curling my lashes first with my Shiseido Eyelash Curler ($20), I have to curl them after mascara. If you're cringing at this idea, don't worry. My lashes didn't fall out then either. Madness, I know.
So for now, goodbye waterproof mascara. I hope you get a clean makeover soon!
(L to R): Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara in Very Black ($5-8) // Jane Iredale PureLash Extender & Conditioner ($19) // W3LL People Expressionist Mascara in Pro Black ($21.99) P.S. This comes in 4 colors including blue, which I've always wanted to try!
Have you tried a "clean" mascara before? Have any recommendations? I would love to know!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you in my next post!
Sophie 🙂

Why should you go to one if at all possible? Well, because you can learn a lot attending your pick of the dozens of classes offered; you can interact with genealogists from all over the country; you can tour the huge vendor area; you can see a few sites (and possibly eat at a few great restaurants) in the host city; and you will definitely have a great time:
Note: I certainly agree with the author. I went to the NGS Conference in Kansas City in 2008, and had a great time! I would have been glad to go to Raleigh this year if the economy hadn't taken a header (I wouldn't mind going to the FGS shindig in Little Rock later this year, either).
Speaking of national conferences: in November 1992, Joy Reisinger of Sparta, Wisconsin began work on an index to the publications (programs and syllabi) for the annual conferences of the National Genealogical Society (NGS) and the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS). In 1993 the organizations published the results of her work. After the Index to NGS and FGS Conferences and Syllabi was published, she then continued her work with FGS and NGS conferences and added many other conference years to her database as well. You can search her database here:
Hint: It's a terrific resource if you present genealogical programs or if you are in charge of securing programs for your society!

This is excellent news!! I applied with US passport (born in India) at the NY consulate in Dec 2017 for a trip in 2018 summer. After 7 months and jumping through many hoops, I had given up and went with plan B. I was Baku when I received an email stating the visa was issued and to come pick it up. I explained that it was too late and I could only go in 2019 summer. Surprisingly, they have actually issued me a visa so I am off to Pakistan this summer.

Markets, and pretty much everything else, are hit and miss during August in Paris. The city's shops, restaurants, and bars systematically shut down throughout the summer, but especially in août - when iron shutters descend on storefronts for anywhere from a week to the entire month.
Chefs, bartenders, and baristas aren't the only ones who enjoy a congé annuel, or yearly break. Farmers also often take a leave of absence from their market stands. At my local market, Marché Ornano, I've had to get used to having Ile-de-France farmer Jean-Michel Delahaye set up his stand only twice a week, instead of his usual tri-weekly appearances. Staying in Paris during the month of August truly makes you appreciate the people who make the city feel like home the other 11 months of the year.
But life goes on, you get used to scanning shopfronts from afar, looking for signs of whether or not their open, holding your breath to see if you can step into your favorite bar or boulangerie. People band together and create resources to keep each other informed of closures, sometimes through word of mouth, other times through Paris by Mouth which puts together an invaluable list every year of What's Open in August. No such list exists for Paris's outdoor markets.
You never know what you're going to find at any given neighborhood market in late summer Paris. It was with this in mind that I made a recent trip to Marché Charonne with Sarah Mouchot co-owner and head chef at Holybelly.
Sarah lived near Marché Charonne for a few years with her partner Nico after they got back from a three year stay in Australia. She told me she had fond memories of this corner of the 11th arrondissement, where her and Nico hatched the plan that would make Holybelly a reality. Marché Charonne, Sarah recalled, was a lovely market with a farmer that came regularly to sell local produce.
This being August, our market rendez-vous on boulevard de Charonne was amidst a scattering of market stalls, proving the market population drastically decreased. Sarah's farmer wasn't in attendance, but we did find another independent producer at the Fruits de la Tour stand, which featured fresh fruits and vegetables from the Drôme region, about 500 kilometers south of Paris.
In addition to about a half dozen different tomato varieties, the stand had a huge selection of seasonal fruits. If the downside of August in the city is annual closures, ubiquitous street and building construction, and the occasional sense of being alone in a post apocalyptic Paris, the relief comes in the form of summer fruit.
Melons, apricots, mirabelles, and peaches were bright and tempting. While we decided what to buy, Sarah told me stories of making jam with her parents and how their family had perfected the recipe. She had just come back from a visit with her family, bringing with her batches of homemade jams that will be served at Holybelly. When it was our turn with the farmer we filled our bags with fruits and tomatoes, excited about all the possibilities they offered.
"You really only need one farmer at a market" Sarah told me, as we spoke about the importance of fresh, seasonal produce. Sarah's right, even if it isn't the farmer you were looking for, one will do. One farmer can give you peach cobbler, tomato salads, and, of course, the perfect homemade jam.
Sarah's Homemade Jam
500 grams sugar
1 kg fruit of your choice
Half vanilla bean
3 grams agar agar
In a large pot, combine sugar and fruit. Add a squeeze of lemon to brighten up the flavor and half a vanilla bean to add depth and complexity. Bring to a simmer then add the agar agar and boil until your fruit is just cooked so you keep the taste of the fresh fruit (3min for raspberries, 20min for strawberries or apricots). Fill up your resealable jars (that you boiled in water for one minute to sterilize them, along with their lids), close tightly with the lid and turn them upside down until they are cooled down, in order to make your jar air tight!

YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Nick Perkins has a good idea of how the rest of the Mid-American Conference feels about facing Buffalo this season.
"When you've got a national ranking, everybody wants to beat you," the 6-foot-8 senior said.
The 20th-ranked Bulls were ready for their first MAC test of 2018-19. Montell McRae scored a career-high 18 points and Perkins added 15 to lift Buffalo to an easy 74-58 win over Eastern Michigan on Friday night.
CJ Massinburg added 12 points for Buffalo. McRae scored 12 of his points in the first half, helping the Bulls (13-1, 1-0) through a sluggish start against the EMU zone defense.
Buffalo trailed 15-11 before going on a 19-4 run. It was 33-23 at halftime.
Insight by Infor: Defense experts from the Army and National Guard Bureau address joint readiness restoration challenges in this free webinar.
McRae's first-half scoring came on three dunks and a pair of 3-pointers. The 6-foot-10 senior finished 8 of 9 from the field and surpassed his previous career high of 13 points.
"Somebody needed to find a spark, and I guess it was me tonight," McRae said. "I got us rolling."
Elijah Minnie led EMU (6-8, 0-1) with 21 points.
"We were more excited playing Buffalo than when we played Duke, in my opinion," said EMU's James Thompson IV, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds. "We've got the crowd, everybody was hype. We didn't look at Buffalo like they were No. 20. We looked at them like we play them every year."
Massinburg had a quiet game offensively, but he did sink a couple late 3-pointers in the first half, including one in the final seconds that gave the Bulls a 10-point lead.

Buffalo: EMU was the type of team that can give the Bulls trouble, especially on the offensive glass. The Eagles had 20 offensive rebounds, but they didn't lead to that many easy baskets. EMU finished with only an 18-16 edge in second-chance points.
"What it did is it didn't allow us to get into our transition like we wanted to," Buffalo coach Nate Oats said. "We didn't have nearly as many fast-break points as we typically would, just because we couldn't rebound the ball. Even if they weren't scoring on it all the time, we've got to get rebounds and get out in transition."
EMU: The Eagles defended well at times, but they couldn't overcome their 7-for-26 shooting from 3-point range. EMU came into the game shooting 26 percent from beyond the arc — one of the worst marks in Division I — and during one stretch, the Eagles missed 12 attempts in a row from long distance.
"You have to make sure when you get an opportunity, Division I players have to make open shots," EMU coach Rob Murphy said. "We didn't make open shots. I thought that was the difference in the game."
Perkins is an Ypsilanti native, and Oats spent 11 years as head coach at Romulus High School, about 16 miles away.
The pace of the game was to EMU's benefit early. It took over three minutes for anybody to score, and neither team had a single fast-break point in the first half.
The game got away from the Eagles early in the second, when Buffalo went on a 24-9 run to take a 57-32 lead.
Buffalo can expect to be ranked for a ninth straight week when the next AP poll comes out.
Buffalo: The Bulls return home to face Toledo on Tuesday night.
EMU: The Eagles play at Ball State on Tuesday night.

- A nurse delivering a baby pulled so hard at the tiny body that it split
- The nurse deposited the baby's body in mortuary without informing anyone
- When the woman was re-operated, doctors found baby's head is in the womb
A nurse at a government hospital in Rajasthan, delivering a baby, pulled so hard at the tiny body that it split and the head was left in the womb. The incident, which took place earlier this week at Ramgarh health centre on Jaisalmer, took on even more disturbing proportions as the male nurse and his colleague tried to cover up the crime.
After he botched up a "diffiicult" delivery so horribly, the nurse, Amrit Lal, with the help of another nurse Jhujhaar Singh, deposited the baby's body in the mortuary without informing anyone that its head was left inside the woman's body.
The nurse asked the family of the woman to take her to Jaisalmer for further treatment.
The woman was taken to the Umaid hospital in Jodhpur. The health centre staff at Ramgarh informed the Umaid hospital gynaecologist that they had finished the delivery and left the placenta in the womb.
When a team of doctors operated on the woman again, they were shocked to find the baby's head is in the womb.
The woman's relatives were informed and her husband filed a complaint against the Ramgarh hospital staff.
Action has been taken against the nurses and the doctor.
"The two male nurses on duty that night have been suspended. The doctor on duty Dr Nikhil Sharma who was not called at night to assisst in the delivery and has been removed and put on APO (awaiting posting orders), said Dr B L Bunkar, Chief Medical and Health Officer of Jaisalmer.
The government has ordered an enquiry and sought a report within a week.
The woman's condition is said to be stable at the hospital.

Best Eye Shadow Hues for Deep Brown Eyes
Which Shades Will Enhance Deep Brown Eyes?
Brown eyes are very common and versatile when it comes to eye makeup application. Brown is a neutral color and most shades will make your eyes pop but women with deep brown eyes can enhance their look by applying shades of purple, green, and gold.
Did you know shades of purple are most flattering in combination with brown eyes? Purple happens to be my favorite color and I love applying rich plum hues to contrast with my deep mahogany eyes. Bluish tinted purples match perfectly with warm brown.
Gold or Bronze
Brown-eyed beauties can soften and lighten their sultry dark eyes with the high-shine and brilliance of golden shadows. Gold and bronze shades will help you create a bold eye look, and will stand out if you're attending a night-time event. The gold hues will highlight the golden flecks in your gorgeous brown eyes.
Shades of cool blue hues contrast beautifully and will make your chocolate brown eyes pop! Blue will make your baby browns will appear bigger and brighter!
Neutral Shades
If you're going for a natural, everyday look, choose neutral shades to enhance your baby browns. Light browns will help make your eyes appear larger and brighter. Darker browns will minimize your eyes and add definition and shape.
Metallic Shades
I love pairing metallic eyeshadows with my brown eyes. Metallic hues perfectly highlight brown eyes and the best shades to wear are metallic gold, bronze, pink, and shade of brown. Metallic do an excellent job of drawing attention to your alluring brown eyes and are ideal for bold, night time looks.
Pro-Tips For Enhancing Your Baby Browns
Mix Complimentary Colors: Shades of gold and purple pair very well together and both will make your eyes pop! Try different color pairings to determine what works best for you!

Many of the students with whom I work, especially adults, need help with pronunciation, idioms, and usage. English is usually their second language, and they find themselves in an academic or employment situation in which these concepts are not only necessary to adequately fulfill their assignments but are also helpful in getting even better grades or improved job recognition. Presentations, business meetings/conference calls, or client/customer scenarios require proficiency in speech in order to be successfully executed. [more]

Speech is part of Language Arts. After Listening, Speaking is the next step in the sequence of language acquisition, preceding Reading and Writing. As part of my undergraduate Education program, I took a class in Speech for Teachers, which was phonetically based. My entire Education graduate program was also language based, as it holds the key to most other learning, being necessary in most subjects. It is also essential in the communication process, particularly for self expression and getting one's needs and wants filled. As a classroom teacher, I was trained to be a proper speech model fo [more]

Folk art and self-taught art is wildly popular with collectors and it comes in many forms. Take, for example, this provocative and striking marker and ink on brown paper titled Balancing on High Heel Boots. It's an erotic drawing signed by the African-American artist B. E. Riddick
and it's lot #333 in Slotin Folk Art Auction's April 29-30 auction of self-taught and outsider art, Southern folk pottery, antique and folk art and more, online and at the firm's gallery in Buford, Ga. The drawing is one of 18 works by Riddick in the sale.
"African-American drawings are one of the lesser heralded genres of folk art and self-taught art, but it's a rising star that's gaining in popularity," said Steve Slotin of Slotin Folk Art Auction. The Riddick drawing here has an estimate of $300-$500. The auction will also feature circus and carnival items, European Art Brut (outsider and self-taught art mostly from Europe but also Japan), bottle whimsy, tramp art, African-American and Southern quilts, Aboriginal items, trade signs, Native American art and jewelry and more.

Danish Mid-Century Modern furniture at The Specialists of the South, April 22nd
Several fine examples of Danish Mid-Century Modern furniture will be just one part of The Specialists of the South's big multi-estate auction planned for Saturday, April 22nd, online and at the firm's gallery in Panama City, Fla. But one lot stands out from the rest: this set of six Niels Otto Moller #78 teak side dining chairs pictured here, produced in the 1960s and having upholstered seats. Already a flurry of attention has been paid to the set, which carries a pre-sale estimate of $2,400-$4,000. The final price could go much higher.
The Danish designer Niels Otto Moller was born in Arhus, Denmark in 1920 and honed his cabinetmaking skills there at the Arhus School of Design. He became famous for his chairs, which strongly represent, through his choice of materials and soft curves, the Scandinavian post-war vision of practical yet well-made design. Moller's dining chairs and armchairs were done in finely sculpted, organic forms in teak, oak and walnut, exemplars of the post-war Danish Modern style. No wonder they're highly prized by collectors today.

73 lots of outstanding Native American objects from one collection, April 22-23
Lots 2001 thru 2073 in Bunte Auction Services' April 22-23 auction are from the estate of Bert Van Bork, who directed many films for Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corp., including Indian Art of the Pueblos, which tells how the Pueblo Indian tribes of the American Southwest are preserving ancient art forms of their ancestors through ceramics, basketry, hand weaving and ritual dancing. In addition to Van Bork's Native American collection, the auction will also feature African items, firearms and militaria.
Van Bork's films reveal how contemporary Indians use symbols, forms and styles to reflect cultural history and religion. His collection of fine Hopi pottery, cradle dolls, tablitas and rattles are just part of this wonderful collection, an example of which is this stunning early Acoma polychrome vessel shown here, which is 13 inches tall and 14 inches in diameter. It is estimated to sell for $5,000-$7,000. The auction will be held online and in Bunte Auction Services' gallery, at 755 Church Road in Elgin, Ill.

WWII Nuremberg trial document will come up for bid on April 22nd
In October 1945, following the Allied victory in Europe over Germany and Italy, allied governments agreed that those responsible for wartime atrocities must be held accountable and punished for their crimes. The International Military Tribunal was organized in the German city of Nuremberg to address this goal. Judges and prosecutors were appointed from the U.S., the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France. Each appointed judges and supplied prosecutors to the tribunal. Indictments were filed against 24 Nazi officials.
On April 22nd, Alderfer Auction will auction a preliminary printed copy of the World War II war crimes tribunal indictments, with penciled-in corrections, titled International Military Tribunal, No.1, online and at the firm's gallery in Hatfield, Pa. The document was obtained by Pvt. Nicholas Arrigo of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division in Oct. 1945. Arrigo was a guard at Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters in Berlin, after Germany's surrender. He earned two Purple Hearts during the war.

By Robert Layman
Tucked away behind the Book Brothers Farm's corn fields near the Cogman Bridge in West Haven, the Poultney River meanders west before turning south into Lake Champlain. And nestled in the muck in certain areas throughout the river are mollusk populations that can educate biologists about the quality of area's water and the health of its fish populations.
Paul Marangelo, senior ecologist for the Nature Conservancy's Vermont chapter, says this landscape is important to study freshwater mussels because it contains the most biologically diverse area in Vermont for the mollusks. However, that diversity has declined.
At one sampling in 1998, Marangelo found eight of Vermont's 18 species at the site. Sampling typically happens in the river between where it enters the lake and the first waterfall upstream.
Since 1998, he's sampled four times — in 2007, 2008, 2011 — and was at it again last week to continue his research on a 150-by-22-meter plot that was divvied up into square-meter quadrats.
In 2007, he saw a decrease in live findings to six species, then five in 2008, and four in 2011. However, this year saw that decline stop with a finding of four species, with the evidence that two others have been in the area.
"It's a pleasant surprise," he said. "Since 1998, every time we've gone back, the numbers have been declining. It's nice to see that the numbers haven't changed since 2011."
Overall, the mussel search yielded 63 individual animals, which is representative of about 2 percent of the total plot surveyed.
Marangelo said the small percentage is due to the methodology, which is designed to maximize precision and minimize effort, which helps protect the species during sampling.
One of the four species was the Lampsilis ovata, or pocketbook, which is listed as endangered in Vermont.
According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, over 70 percent of mussel species are extinct or imperiled, while 16.7 percent of mammalian species and 14.6 percent of bird species claim that status.
Though not as visible, mussels play an important role as water-quality indicators.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, one adult mussel can filter up to 15 gallons of water a day, eating algae, plankton and silt.
"River health has to do with a complex set of factors," Marangelo said.
A lab test of water provides limited information about the ecosystem as a whole, whereas mussel data provides a broader outlook due to their specific habitat and breeding requirements. Mussels are affected by a large array of variables.
They're prey for various mammalian species like muskrats, and can be susceptible to water pollutants.
Female mussels are picky about what fish they send their larvae to. The larvae become parasites on their hosts' gills before dropping off.
Biologist Michael Lew-Smith, who volunteered during this year's study, said the Lampsilis species will mimic a fish lure to entice it, before spraying it with a parasitic larvae cloud known as glochidia.
If a mussel species population is down, that could mean a fish species is down too.
Murray McHugh, critical lands manager for the Nature Conservancy's Southern Vermont office, who helped document this year's survey, said most of the riverside from Carvers Falls into Fair Haven is conserved to maintain habitat stability.

Just a few things to think real hard about. Make your brain hurt happy kind of thinking. Don't you love that new Foley + Corinna bag shape? Bet it melts to your body.
bow dress, navy slouch tote, xo earrings, asymmetrical tee
silk track shorts, layered look tank dress, cross strap sandals
crazy daisy dress, seedling earrings, toucan sandals, drinks tee, santorini maxi

CAVX Room with REW
I recently [finally] got REW and the calibrated MINIDSP UMIK-1 microphone and have been able to measure my room. When I built the room back in 2010, the room was treated and whilst I thought it sounded very good, I had no way to prove it. Now I am able to generate charts of the in room response. Here are my charts for Left Centre Right.
The response was originally set up using the MCACC on the AVR. When I measured the speakers, there was a small peak at 250Hz which I was able to go into the EQ and manually pull out. The roll off at the top end [2K and above] is because I measured with THX Re-eq engaged. if you open each chart in a different tab, you may notice the SPL is different. This is done for the purpose of the charts to show the response in reference to the curve of the mic with the calibration correction file. When measured with an SPL, each channel actually plays at +75dB [C/slow].
Whilst there is still room for improvement, considering what the speakers and room have cost, I am very happy with the result.

I love learning a new word and suddenly having it pop up all over the place, either in the spoken or written form. It makes me wonder about all the words I simply gloss over in life. Shibori is one of those words. It comes from the Japanese word "to wring, squeeze, or press." Also known as resist-dyeing, shibori is a design technique for creating patterns on fabric. The idea of bunching fabric tightly with ties to resist the penetration of color when it is dunked in indigo is a technique that has been around for centuries. Many of us know it as tie-dyeing.
Japanese artists raised the art form to a high level. From the book, Shibori, the Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped Resist Dyeing by Wada, Rice and Barton: "Here [Japan], it has been expanded into a whole family of traditional resist techniques, involving first shaping the cloth by plucking, pinching, twisting, stitching, folding, pleating, and wrapping it, and then securing the shapes thus made by binding, looping, knotting, clamping, and the like. The entire family of techniques is called shibori."
In May, the staff of The Nashville Food Project, a non-profit close to my heart, came up with the idea of making a shibori print quilt as a group wedding gift for beloved TNFP Meals Director, Christa Bentley. It was to be a surprise. The Executive Director of TNFP, Tallu Quinn, has a degree in art (in addition to her MDiv) and learned the technique in college. She wrote the instructions for the project, sent them to the participants, and provided pre-cut 12-inch squares of muslin fabric for staff and volunteers to create tied designs. Here is a partial collection of what they created.
The How-To
The first step was to tie the fabric to create a design. I used marbles, corks, and rubber bands to create patterns on the two squares I contributed.
This is how they looked after I tied them,
and when they were dyed,
and then after they were dipped and untied.
Here is another set of pre and post photos.
I wish I had taken more photos of the before and afters. It was exciting to see how each manipulation affected the final design. The design below was made by folding a cloth many times and using bull clips to hold the folds together. I think it is my favorite.
Although, I do love this one.
I thought this technique was interesting, too. The white area is where the fabric resisted penetration of the dye due to compression by a block.
Actually, I love them all, as I imagine Christa must since they were each made in the spirit of love and friendship.
D-Day: The Day We Dyed the Squares of Cloth.
Tallu prepared the dye vat using an all-natural indigo powder she ordered online. She invited me and another volunteer, Paiden Hite, to come over and help dye the squares.
This is the dye vat.
She prepped the tied cloths by soaking them in plain, warm water.
One at a time, we submerged the cloth bundles gently into the vat being careful not to add extra oxygen (in the form of air bubbles or drips) into the liquid. It's a chemistry thing. I wrote a story all about it, Seeing Blue, Indigo Blue.
As we pulled each tied cloth out of the dye vat, we watched it transform in color from a yellow-green to a green-blue, to a deep indigo blue. This transition in color seems magical each time I see it happen.
Here are the squares after their first dipping. A few were dipped twice to intensify the color. Color is added in layers, by a redipping process, not by letting textiles soak for a longer period of time in the vat.
After the squares dried and were ironed, TNFP staff members sewed them together, backed the quilt, and then began the task of hand sewing the quilt layers together.
The quilt was presented, in a semi-finished form, to the delighted couple, Christa and Todd, at a wedding shower given for them by the ever thoughtful and generous TNFP staff.
Here's a gorgeous photo of the newlyweds on their wedding day. Like for many who work at TNFP, the Bentleys are growing their own food using sustainable practices, but for this couple, farming is the family business. They are living the dream of owning their own farm, Sweeter Days Farm, complete with a muster of peacocks. They sell their food and flowers at farmers markets and through CSA shares. You can follow their peacocks, vegetable, and flower-growing pursuits at @sweeterdaysfarm on Instagram. This is my favorite photo from their wedding because it expresses hope and love within the beauty of nature.
I love projects worked on in community, in the spirit of caring and fun, whether it be craft-making, cooking, or planting seeds in a garden. Visiting while creating something that is as pretty as it is useful is a satisfying way to spend a day. For me, it is a way of experiencing and expressing love and joy. Perhaps that is why this picture of the Bentleys makes me smile so much; it expresses both. Soon, Christa and Todd will have the finished quilt to wrap themselves up in. Hand-quilting takes time!
TNFP is in the middle of a capital campaign for the construction of a new headquarters with a commercial kitchen. They would be honored to accept any donation here.

2 Things I've Never Done at Disneyland Until Now: Club 33 and Lilly Belle Presidential Train Car
When it comes to Disneyland, I've been there my fair share. I've done, been on and seen most of, if not all the attractions Disneyland has had to offer; however, on one Sunday in December, I was able to experience two things that are usually not available to the general public. The first, of course, was Club 33, a members-only restaurant that is in New Orleans Square. Thankfully, one of the Assistant Organizers of my dining group, Pleasure Palate, was a member and was able to bring a group of us in for lunch. Believe me, it wasn't free, but it was worth it and the cost covered the meal plus park hopper tickets for both Disneyland and California Adventure.
Club 33 runs completely separate from the Disneyland Park and in fact, you've probably walked past it a number of times and not have even known what was behind the plain blue door unless you were told. Located in New Orleans Square, look for a doorway with an oval black, silver and blue "33" address plate. Once there, look to the left of the door for a silver voice box. Lift the handle, speak and if you have the reservations, the door will magically open to you.
More ...
Once inside, you have the choice of an elevator or stairway to make your way to the second floor. When you've stepped onto the second floor, you will be in the Gallery where the centerpiece is an oak telephone booth with beveled lead glass panels that was in the Disney movie, "The Happiest Millionare."
To your right is the Disney Room, one of two smaller dining rooms inside Club 33. It's also known as the Trophy Room because when Walt was still alive, that's where he'd put hunting trophies, native spears, plumes, stuffed animal heads and other similar items that he'd get as gifts. You can see pictures of what the Trophy Room used to look like by clicking here. Current photos are below including an animatronic California turkey vulture which was designed to talk to guests while they dined. The actor, hidden in the sound room would control the vulture and listen to guests' conversations through microphones that used to be hidden in the dining room lamp fixtures. Unfortunately, the vulture is now silent.
Around the corner from the Gallery is Lounge Alley, the hallway that leads to the Main Dining Room and includes the bar and the buffet area for both dining rooms.
Apparently, the Main Dining Room had undergone a revamping, replacing lighter woods panels and furniture with darker woods. It was also nicely decorated for the holidays with fresh flowers and a Christmas tree while table settings had black, white and gold china with the Club 33 logo stamp.
So when it comes to lunch at Club 33, each guests chooses an entree and are served a complimentary glass of champagne or apple cider, which is available just for the holidays. After making our choice, we were directed to start our meal with all-you-can eat soup, bread and cold appetizers. Also throughout the meal, Mickey and Pluto would pop in to pose for photos with guests and this only happens on Sundays.
Once we've had our fill of our starters, our entrees started arriving. Although there were 6 different entree choices on the menu, our group stuck with three of them. My choice was the Pan Seared Chateaubriand with Parsnip Potato Puree and Cabernet Demi-Glace along with Baby Tomato Shallot Salad and Blue Lake Beans. It was cooked just right and was certainly a generous serving.
A few went for the New Zealand Grouper with Senate Bean Ragout and Hickory Tomato finished with Pancetta Bacon Gremolata.
The rest ordered Colorado Lamb Chops with Creamy Corn Polenta and a Gorgonzola Reduction along with Steamed Broccolini and Baby Carrots.
Afterwards, it was time for the Dessert Station where some people actually got one of each. I stayed with just five. The Coconut Macaroon Cookies were my absolutely favorite and I was almost tempted to stuff a few handfuls in my purse, but I somehow restrained myself.
At the end of each meal, guests used to be presented with personally engraved match books. When No Smoking came into play, the match books were replaced with miniature notebooks. Unfortunately, the machine that used to do all the engraving hadn't been working for awhile, but it was still a nice memento of our time at Club 33.
Throughout Club 33, there were also prints from Disney artists as well as beautiful furniture. Fresh flowers also abound.
I thought it couldn't get any better. After all, dining at Club 33 is an uncommon thing in itself, but it actually got even better. Simply, we were able to get a ride on the Lilly Belle Presidential Train Car. The Lilly Belle is a private railway car that was originally used for Disney VIP guests. Click here to read the entire history of how the Lilly Belle came to be and why Emperor Hirohito and his wife were the first to ride the Lilly Belle. See a hidden Mickey and find out how to get your own ride on the Lilly Belle here. For now, I hope you enjoy the photos below. First, here are exterior shots.
Check out these interior photos.
Finally, passengers could also get a special ticket memento that VIP guests originally had to use to get access to the Lilly Belle.
By the way, 2 more additional things I've never done at Disneyland was visit the California Adventure Park and that being the case, this was my first time seeing the World of Color Water Show. Check and check.
Finally, Disneyland is definitely the place to be for the holidays. Take a look at all the lights below.
Overall, I had a fantastic time. Between Club 33, the Lilly Belle as well as my other experiences, I truly was in a Magical Kingdom and thanks so much to DJ for everything he did and how he put it all together! Also, I'd like to wish everyone Happy Holidays! :-D

It's great to see these 'mysterious' parts of Disneyland many of us have heard of but have never been to. Thanks for the sneak peak.
- Gastronomer said...
SO RAD!!!! I adore Disneyland and hope to experience these treasures for myself one day :-) Happy holidays to you, Abby!
- sku said...
Very cool experience, but the food looks like standard hotel-type stuff. I take it the real thrill here is the experience as opposed to the food.

sku: The food was good, not mind-blowing, but yes, it really is more about the experience than anything else. :)
