Another gubernatorial debate occurred tonight at UConn, and it was hosted by FOX CT's own Brent Hardin and moderated by FOX CT's Jenn Bernstein and Hartford Courant Capitol Bureau Chief Chris Keating. As the debate went on, things got heated as the candidates made personal stabs at each other.
Dan Malloy and Tom Foley duked it out over the economy, education, transportation, and then started digging into each other's past.
On the economy, Malloy boasted his record of creating jobs, investing in small businesses run by minorities and women, promoting new industry hubs in Connecticut such as biotech, and in general propping Connecticut up as the fastest growing economy in New England.
On the other hand, Foley blasted back saying that many of the jobs Malloy said he created were in fact created by his Republican predecessor, Jodi Rell, and that Connecticut's economy is one of the slowest growing in the nation. He also mentioned that the audience was going to hear a lot of "Malloy Math" throughout the debate, which he described as Malloy reporting some accurate facts, and others that didn't add up.
Both candidates constantly called each other out on lying.
Next up the candidates were asked if the size of the state's government should be reduced, but it lead to the candidates debating who had better managerial experience. Foley said, "The governor has no manager experience," but that he himself has tons of years managing businesses. Foley said the size of the government isn't the issue, it's how the workforce is being allocated.
Malloy rebutted that he does have managerial experience since he ran the city of Stamford for 14 years as mayor. However, Foley turned this statement around, saying Malloy raised taxes seven times while he was Stamford's mayor, that the city's finances were worse when he left, and that he didn't do anything to close the large education achievement gap.
At one point, Foley quipped, "Governor, why should anyone believe you?" because he says Malloy has made many promises that he never followed through on.
Another tense moment came when the candidates were asked about extending, rolling back, or leaving the post-Sandy Hook tragedy gun laws in place. Malloy started by saying he was proud of implementing universal background checks, limits on ammunition magazines, and prohibiting the sale of weapons of mass destruction in Connecticut. He argued that Foley wants to repeal the law, but that it's obviously working since the muder rate in the three largest cities in the state dropped by 32 percent in 2013. Malloy also said that there needs to be more investment by the state in mental health services, since that was a big factor in what led to the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Foley immediately replied saying that although he doesn't think the laws have made people in Connecticut safer, "I never said I would repeal the gun law, and I won't." Malloy called him out, saying Foley has frequently said he wants the laws repealed. Foley's answer? The governor doesn't make laws, the state's legislator does. Foley said that although he wouldn't actively seek a repeal, he also wouldn't veto one if it was sent to him from the legislator. This caused quite a stir in the audience, who started laughing enough for Brent to have to tell them to settle down.
The passion started erupting as soon as education was brought up. When asked how the Common Core plays into each candidates' education vision, the two could not agree at all. Foley started, and he used air quotes to say that Malloy's reform bill was "education reform lite." He said Malloy added unnecessary regulations and restrictions on schools and in ways teachers are assessed, but there wasn't a need to fix something that wasn't broken to begin with. He ended by saying he doesn't agree with Common Core and thinks it was a mistake.
Malloy hit back hard. Not only did a Republican governor implement Common Core, not him, but he's worked to lessen testing for students, he said. He also reminded everyone that two teachers' unions have thrown their support behind him because Foley wants to take away money from schools, and he wants to allow parents to send students to better schools outside their districts. Malloy said those better schools are already over packed, and it would be more beneficial to better fund improving those schools.
Falloy was quick to rebut those claims, saying "There's no point in rewarding failure" by giving taxpayer dollars to underperforming schools. He said "It's not your money, it's taxpayers money." The argument ended by Malloy saying "If you want poor schools to get worse, then vote for Tom Foley."
The last question was the only one the candidates could agree on. They both cited their mothers as their inspiration for going into politics. Malloy said his mother got him through a difficult time growing up, when he had both learning and physical disabilities, leading other kids to call him "mentally retarded." However, he worked hard and succeeded. Foley said his mother piqued his interest because her family in Wisconsin was involved with politics, so it always interested. Since none of his relatives had run for office, he thought he would take the step and run.
The closing statements were the dirtiest of the night. Malloy called Foley out for attacking his integrity several times throughout the night, and said that's now how we treat each other. He also said it's wrong to throw stones if you live in a glass house--he cited Foley being fined by the election commission, supporting former convicts in office, a 1981 road rage accident that Foley was arrested for (the charges were dropped), and that "people don't bankrupt companies, they don't lay off workers," like Foley does. He said he wouldn't have brought any of those attacks up, but Foley went to far.
Foley fought back, saying "Have you seen your attack ads?" because you're a better prosecutor than governor. He ended by saying that the state needed smarter policies to get it up and running again and to restore pride in Connecticut.
At separate post-debate news conferences, neither candidate was apologetic for their negativity during the debate. Foley said he offered a truce to Malloy after the microphones were cut and lights or dimmed.
With 4.5 weeks left until Election Day, it's unclear if such a truce will last.
FOX CT will re-air the entire debate on Sunday at 10 a.m.

Sinead Kissane: Why I feel sorry for 2018 before it has even started
The New Year has yet to start but I already feel sorry for 2018. Why? Because the year before a Rugby World Cup is one of continuous contextualisation whereby little can be mentioned or enjoyed without constant reference to 'the bigger picture'.
You see, 2018 is really about 2019 and the Rugby World Cup. A player won't be able to run the length of the pitch, skip out of tackles and score a spectacular solo try without someone killing the moment of joy by asking: "But will he be able to do it in the quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup next year?"
The year before a World Cup can be an odd one. If viewed through the prism of 'the bigger picture', the achievement of winning the Six Nations can be dulled by a concern over peaking too early in a four-year cycle, while losing games can be excused with 'you-learn-more-in-defeat' propaganda.
The year can become a bit of a rugby no-man's land where the end-game is what happens in the World Cup the following year.
But 2018 is shaping up to be more than just an aperitif for 2019. It wasn't just Jordan Larmour's wonder-try at Thomond Park on St Stephen's Day which would get you excited about what 2018 could bring for Irish rugby but what happened just before that in the 68th minute when Dan Leavy won a penalty against Munster.
The sight of Leavy letting out two almighty, guttural roars was reminiscent of the in-your-face celebration Johnny Sexton delivered to Ronan O'Gara in the 2009 Heineken Cup semi-final at Croke Park.
Forget national relations for a moment - Leavy's King Kong impression was what the Munster- Leinster rivalry needed: a player showing what winning a big moment in a match like that meant rather than keeping quiet for fear of offending a player he may have to share a room with in the near future.
Joe Schmidt won't need the Leinster academy boys to fire up training (a la two days before the Argentina game last November) when the Ireland squad get together before the Six Nations, as Leavy's celebration is unlikely to be quickly forgotten by the Munster boys.
There is no need for 2018 to live in the shadow of 2019 because there's just too much to look forward to in the New Year.
The November Series was relatively forgettable but the first half of Ireland's win over Argentina was up there with the most efficient and effortless a Schmidt-coached Irish team has played.
Jacob Stockdale has fit in so quickly that he's become as close to an automatic selection as any newbie can be at the age of 21.
There's a back-up of talent and competition which makes you wonder why the notion of an untouchable 15 - like before the 2007 Rugby World Cup - was ever deemed a good thing. And to think that whizz-kid Larmour may not even get into Schmidt's extended squad for the Six Nations makes Allister Coetzee's proclamation in November that Ireland are "the All Blacks of Europe" look less of a ruse.
But, OK, let's not get entirely carried away here. Because with expectation comes pressure and this Irish team needs to validate itself with a Six Nations title.
Under captain Rory Best, Ireland made history by beating New Zealand and winning in South Africa but they need the confidence winning the championship would add.
Winning silverware was an annual occurrence for Schmidt but he's currently in the longest spell (2015-present) without winning a trophy since he started working in Ireland in 2010. At an awards ceremony a few months ago Schmidt visibly cringed when Ireland's second-place finish in the 2017 Six Nations was referenced as an achievement.
To some, perhaps, but not the Ireland head coach.
Following results like Scotland's comprehensive win over Australia in November, the 2018 Six Nations is being billed as the most open in years, even if England are going for three in-a-row.
It's a year when a few local quibbles will need to be settled. Ireland were beaten by Scotland and Wales in the 2017 edition, two teams they would have no fear of.
There was the Scottish bus driver's generosity in taking the Ireland team bus on an off-piste tourist trail the day they played Scotland in Murrayfield last February but what really derailed Ireland's championship was moments like being caught napping at the lineout which resulted in Alex Dunbar scoring a try.
And then, of course, Scotland decided to unfriend Ireland by not giving them their vote for the 2023 RWC bid. But, hey, let's not drag boardroom politics into it.
Try telling that to Warren Gatland, though. As well as his recent riveting stirring-up of his past with Ireland, Gatland also bit back at Sean O'Brien's Lions accusations as fast as an actual Lion did to a Welsh player.
Ah, what a tame and friendly Six Nations we've got coming.
If 2018 holds the optimism of building for the 2019 World Cup for our national men's team, it's hard to know what gear our national women's team will be in for the Women's Six Nations after a challenging Rugby World Cup year.
This year turned out to be nothing like we hoped it would be with 'legacy' turning into an act of defiance.
There has been no indication on how the steering group is progressing or when the IRFU's strategic review of the women's game is going to be published.
What we do know is that the sevens game will be prioritised over Ireland's opening Women's Six Nations game against France with the IRFU confirming that the nine sevens players in the Ireland women's squad will miss the game in Toulouse as they will be in Sydney.
What we also know is that Ireland will need the support of the public more than ever in 2018.
Next year might also be extraordinary for the provinces in Europe.
The last time an Irish team made/won the final of European rugby's elite competition was in 2012 for the all-Irish Heineken Cup final between Leinster and Ulster.
Maybe it was the pre-Christmas giddiness but it feels like the dog days are, indeed, over.
Here's to 2018, a year when Irish rugby could rise back to the top.

The Indian Air Force came into existence on8 October 1932 during the days of the Raj-an euphemism for British rule.
it was entirely equipped with British aircraftwhich were seconded from the Royal Air Force.
In 1946, the IAF also got its first transportsquadron which was equipped with the C-47 an American military plane.
The IAF was also allowed to cannibalize andget ready at least 2 squadrons of the B-24( Liberator).
This plane was used by the US Air Force foroperations in China against the Japanese from bases in India.
After the war, many of these planes were abandonedat Kanpur and these after repairs became the heavy bomber squadron of the IAF.
In 1952 a team from the USAF came to Indiaand were impressed with the way the Indians were using the B-24.
The B-24 was a 4-engine piston plane witha range of 3000 miles.
Drifting to the Soviets :: In the late fifties, the Indian policy beganto have a marked pro-Soviet tilt.
Primarily this was because India did not wantto join the military pacts against Russia and the Indian prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehrubegan to follow a policy of nonalignment.
The IAF at that stage requested for the LightningMark III but the western powers were wary of India and refused.
The Russian premier Nikita Kruschev saw hisopportunity and offered the MIG fighter to India with manufacturing facilities.
The left-leaning Indian Defence Minster KrishnaMenon who was rabidly pro-soviet readily accepted the Russian offer.
Thus the first MIG-21 a Mach II interceptorbecame part of the IAF.
Another reason to have a pro-soviet tilt wasKashmir – a bone of contention between India and Pakistan.
The Soviets backed India with their Veto inthe security council.
Russian aircraft now poured into India andthe IAF had the MIG- 23, 27, Su-7 , IL- 76, AN -32 and the MI 15 helicopter in service.
The victory over Pakistan in 1971 establishedIndia as the dominant power in SE Asia.
Closer to the USA :: The air force became totally dependent onSoviet Russia and the Russians began to charge exorbitant payments for spare parts.
The Soviet Union also collapsed and Indiawas confronted with a situation that dictated a change to the old policy.
The USA also began to see India as a strategicpartner, particularly as both countries were threatened by China.
The IAF began to slowly wean itself away fromdependence on Russian aircraft and the C-130, American heavy transport was inducted intothe IAF after 60 years of the C-47.
The Indian government also realized that beinga partner with the USA would be a better option and things began to move faster once Obamabecame president.
India has now moved firmly towards a partnershipwith the USA with Narendra Modi as the PM.
The Soviet connection has gone though theIAF still uses Russian-made fighters and bombers.

Sometimes when my Mum or my Aunt have been traveling they bring me small gifts, they have always done that and I think that I will never get to old to love suprise gifts like that.
Last week my Mum came back from her trip in the Norwegian mountains to watch the farmers letting their horses out grazing in the mountains for the Summer season and she brought with her a suprise for me.
The suprise consisted of a nice tea cup in a unusual shape ( which I loved) that fits perfectly in to my hand, a tea strainer with a little dark blue tea kettle with stars and moons in gold on it, it is sooo cute and a couple of bags of tea. One with lemon tea and one with Aunties green tea.

- Score: Bloomfield 85, Assumption 71
- Records: Bloomfield (1-0), Assumption (0-1)
- Location: Easton, Mass. (Merket Gymnasium)
- The Lead: Assumption used a 16-4 run in the second half to draw even at 46-46, but Bloomfield responded with a run of its own to put the game out of reach late and come away with an 85-71 victory in the season-opener for both teams on Friday.
- Bloomfield jumped out to an early 15-10 lead in the opening nine minutes. Assumption countered with an 11-5 run, capped off by a Matthew Kelly (North Potomac, Md. / Quince Orchard) triple, to take a 21-20 lead with 9:22 left in the first half.
- The Hounds extended their lead to 27-22 on back-to-back threes by Bryan Boehlert (Gaithersburg, Md. / Magruder) with six minutes remaining, forcing a Bear timeout. Bloomfield answered back with the next 16 points to grab a 38-27 lead with one minute left and held a 42-30 lead at the break.
- Assumption gave up the opening two points of the second, before Jordan Shea (Madison, Wisc. / Lodi) responded with a triple. That jumpstarted a 14-0 run by the Hounds, as Branislav Vujadinovic (Belgrade, Serbia / St. Joseph) tied the game 44-44 on a three-pointer with 16:37 remaining.
- The Bears took back the lead and eventually extended their advantage to 59-52, before a Shea jumper trimmed it to four midway through period. However, Assumption wouldn't get any closer than seven over the final six minutes and Bloomfield pulled away for the 85-71 win.
- Assumption shot 48.2 percent from the floor and was 34.4 percent from downtown, while Bloomfield shot 47.0 percent overall and made just 2 of 15 triples. The Bears attempted 15 more free throws in the contest (25-10) and outrebounded the Hounds 38-31.
- Vujadinovic paced the offense with a career-high tying 22 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Kelly added 17 points, five assists and three rebounds. Patrick Fleming (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. / Iona Prep) posted six rebounds and six assists, and Joe Sullivan (Utica, N.Y. / Notre Dame HS / Mohawk Valley CC) chipped in ten points and a team-high eight rebounds.
- Rakwan Kelly led Bloomfield with 18 points and six rebounds while Keith Washington added 19 points and three boards.
- Assumption returns to action on Saturday when the team faces Dominican at 4 pm.

A note from Chris...
I was elected to our School Board in 2008. Since then, academically, over 95% of our school's API scores have improved. With that improvement, 21 CUSD schools were designated "California Gold Ribbon Schools", the most in District history. Athletically this year, our schools won 23 out of 24 League Championships.
I love this school district and our community. My wife and I both graduated from Clovis Unified, my wife was a teacher for Clovis, and our four children all graduated from Clovis schools as well. This district is the major reason we live here. Our academics, athletics and performing arts are among the highest ranked and highly respected. Families buy homes and move here to give their children every advantage.
As President of our School Board, I couldn't be more proud of our students, our CUSD family, and our community who make this possible. We have worked hard to keep the "Clovis Way of Life" in spite of pressures to lower our standards and support unpopular laws.
If you appreciate what we've accomplished and want us to continue, I ask for your vote.
Thank you,
Christopher Casado – CUSD Board President
Join the conversation…
Clovis Unified is under attack.
This district is under attack by a group of individuals running for office who threaten to siphon money from our students in order to fight laws they feel are unjust at the state or federal level. Specifically, if they are elected, money our district uses to support the performing arts, music, sports, and other basic student programs would be SEVERELY AT RISK. Funds would be lost, and money diverted, to fight laws that mandate gender equality and the implementation of common core standards – laws that our district and administration has carefully implemented to maintain our high standards of excellence, while providing a fair break for every kid.
I believe support, or opposition to such laws should be voiced at the state or federal level. Here in Clovis, and as a governing board member, I will continue to stand with our students, employees and community to responsibly support our core Clovis Values.
Please stand with me in SUPPORTING the following candidates for Clovis School Board who share our values:
Ginny Hovesepian – CUSD Board Member
Brian Heryford – CUSD Board Member
Scott Troescher – Former CUSD Board Member
Thank you for your support!

With little to no local media coverage, New Orleans Mayor LaToya and her family left this week for a vacation in Hawaii. She will be back in the office next Monday according to her staff.
Remember the old joke that the Louisiana Republican Party was so small, it could hold its meetings in a phone booth?
Lots have changed since then. The Party has become dominant in the very conservative state.
Well, shockingly and unfortunately, let's update the funny. Based upon yesterday's turnout, pull out the phone booth. It's needed.
Despite a horrible turnout, there were some winners.
At the top of the ticket, Democrat Attorney Derrick Edwards and Republican former State Representative John Schroder prevailed in the Louisiana State treasurer's race. The New Orleans Mayor's race also produced a runoff, between two black women, LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet.
The major story line coming out of the New Orleans Mayor's race this weekend, after Saturday's election day is that after almost 300 years of existence, New Orleans will be run for the very first time in history, starting next year, by a woman, either Desiree Charbonnet or LaToya Cantrell. Not only are they females, but they also are African American. Thus, not only will the first female Mayor run City Hall, but, she is black.

text: I got my hair done at a salon this weekend. I am going to a wedding on Wednesday and I wanted to look extra pretty. I usually go to this hole in the wall where the ladies barely speak English and the decor is somewhat lacking, but it's cheap and fast. This weekend, however, I couldn't take any more chances with color. Because I made a huge mistake picking the paint color of my house, I was a little more careful with my hair color. I like the way it turned out.

Saturday, 29 December 2012
Weak culture brings disadvantages. People had difficult to know their own culture, and had so less notions to learn other cultural expressions. It makes easy to the great media power to release pretender novelties which shows the other tricks with new varnish.
In last December 21st, the 89 FM from São Paulo returned the original orientation released at the end of 1985 and popularized in the 90s. The 89 FM, although has known as "A Rádio Rock", words included on the radio logomark, was not a real rock'n'roll station, adopting doubtful procedures that was very near to the conventional dancing pop stations.
The 89 FM started as a changed name from the former Pool FM station, released in the 89,1 mhz from the São Paulo FM radio band. In December 02, Pool was replaced by the "89 FM A Rádio Rock" station, officially announced as a great alternative radio station with a strong commercial department.
There will be a great notice, if 89 FM had not adopted the pop stations standards to the schedule and speaking. The 89 DJs speakes like pop dance broadcasters, and the music playlist is limited in quantity and quality, as usually we see on hit-parade powerful stations.
It makes the 89 FM very weak and powerless to be a real rock station. And Brazil had so better rock'n'roll stations, as Fluminense FM on Niterói city and 97 Rock on the Santo André, a city from the Great São Paulo region, in the 80s.
The original rock radio stations had different style of locution, schedule and mentality. Fluminense and 97 Rock avoided to adopt pop languages and their youngster languages were so careful enough to not being silly. The two radio stations had no foolish speakers in their golden times and the playlist didn't limited to work the hit-parade method to play only 60 commercial hits at all the time.
But the 89 FM station, even in its better times, was always inclined to do hit-parade method. The radio started assuming a position contrary to the original rock radio stations: to inspire explicitally from the Music Television (MTV) language and mentality.
In first years, the 89 FM adopted the "anti-radio" formula which was nothing than a loose imitation of the original Fluminense FM style, but adapted to the commercial demands. 89 FM started playing in its music repertory some rock classic songs and some alternative and indie rock songs.
But in the 90s, 89 FM became a mere hit-parade station dedicated to rock music. The 89 FM station had never a rock'n'roll state of spirit, being just a simple broadcasting jukebox playing rock'n'roll greatest hits and much of commercial artists worksongs.
The playlist emphasis works on some greatest hits of the very popular rock'n'roll artists, as Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd (only the progressive years), Ozzy Osbourne and U2, grunge artists and derivatives as Alice In Chains, Queens Of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters, and commercial rock'n'roll staff as Guns N'Roses, Mötley Crüe, Presidents of the USA, Bloodhound Gang and Alice Cooper.
The authentic rock'n'roll brazilian fans and specialists didn't like the 89 FM profile. But the press media and Brasil Rock musicians accepted this profile for benefit to commercial success the radio station can develop in Brazil.
Lots of complaints from rock'n'roll brazilian specialists pulled down the pretending rock'n'roll schedule of 89 FM station. In some years, the 89 became a simple teen pop station, playing entertainers like Britney Spears, Beyoncé Knowles and One Direction. But business interests looking for the international gig industry in Brazil made the alleged "A Rádio Rock" to return to be on the air.
Despite the exaggerated praise and positive comments being so unfounded and out of reality, the 89 FM return had not meant a great rock'n'roll station rising on Brazil. In contrary, the 89 FM came back keeping the same hit-parade playlist and teeny pop language which make the station so far to be a real rock'n'roll station.
From the patterns of Brazilian people's misinformation, the 89 FM seems a great rock'n'roll station. But, from the worldwide patterns of rock'n'roll radio working, 89 FM sounds so fake and parodic. 89 FM is not meant to be the best rock'n'roll station of the world.

Spokane's History of Skiing: 1913 to 2018
For over 100 years, people in Spokane, Washington have been learning to ski, creating facilities for skiers, and putting on events that showcase the sport for spectators and the curious. While Spokane has not yet developed a national or even a statewide reputation as a destination ski town, many of its early promoters definitely had that goal in mind, and many today believe Spokane to be a relatively unknown jewel. Several small ski areas within Spokane County have come and gone, but Mount Spokane has consistently entertained skiers since the early 1930s.
Spokane's History of Skiing covers a fascinating aspect of Pacific Northwest history that illuminates how, despite the near constant jockeying for power and influence, government and private entities can come together in a successful partnership for the benefit of the larger community. Seasoned skiers will be in awe of how it was all done in the old days, while non-skiers will receive a crash course in how modern downhill skiing split off from traditional cross-country skiing. All will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges of balancing recreational development with the preservation of our natural resources.

Laurelhurst has been enticing people with its beauty for as far back as we can see. The Duwamish tribe used the land as a seasonal campground, and early Seattleites would row across to the peninsula from Madison Beach, farther down on Lake Washington. Real estate developers recognized a good thing when they saw it, and soon the land was being cleared of its trees and being made ready for homesteaders. As the railway made its way north along Lake Washington, the area became even more popular. People who lived right on the water inherited an extra few feet of beach when the Lake Washington Ship Canal project caused the water level to drop. Today, residents count themselves lucky to have scored their own piece of this desirable neighborhood.
Laurelhurst was one of the original suburbs of Seattle before it was annexed, and it has kept that same feel. The streets wind peacefully through the neighborhood and homes are situated on little cul-de-sacs. If it weren't for the views from the top of the hill, you wouldn't suspect you're in a large city. It's easy to get to busier areas like the University District and even downtown. And even though it's quiet, no way is Laurelhurst snobbish! This is a close-knit community where everyone is on the lookout for what's best for their neighbors.

Tuesday morning and it is cloudy and partly raining, same like yesterday there is not much to do, while there is always something to be done.
Tonight I woke up at around 1 and stayed awake until 3. I was walking around spiritually and was thinking about what do be done next, what is important, what is less important, how about my schedule and so on. Sure this kept me awake and then I started my talk and prayer to God. I was thinking about getting up and start writing a new blog post but then I stayed in bed, decided to focus on my Lord Jesus so my soul could find rest at this restless night.
Labor Day is over, what did this day had for me? Two wonderfully blessed conversations with two close friends of mine. One conversation was more planet and nature based while the other one was a lot more spiritual, talking about our path walking and living with God, praying, talking, reading scripture and slowly bringing God's living word into our lifes – not only reading it theoretically, but realizing how practically it can be if we allow Jesus to controll our presence.
Yesterday I started to read Judges, a chapter a day for the month May. It is a blessed way to stay connected with brothers and sisters all over the world. I read Judges before, but it is always nice to exchange what we received while reading the chapter. I'm using the bible app (you can download it on the App Store or on the Google Store), it is wonderful you can read it yourself or listen to the chapter.
Today's chapter talkes about the israelites turning their backs towards God and praying to other Gods and even forgetting God and what he had done for them.
It is a strong chapter, it is a reminder for all human on this earth – because while the Israelites back then had no chance to return we have! And we have this chance because God loved us more than we can imagine – he sent his only son down to earth, so that we all – no matter if Israelites or from other nations –
11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples extol him." Romans 15,11
19 Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, Matthew 28,19
We should wake up and be aware of being Disobedience praying or worshipping other Gods. How does this look like today? Isn't it easy to say "these Israelites built their altars for other Gods and worship them, this will not happen to me" – really? We have to start searching through all our routines, all our behavior, our thinking about people, celebrities, thinks and wishes in our life.
How often did you push Jesus from his throne in your life and put your desire for a new smartphone, a new car, an expensive ticket for this once in a year concert of any singer or similar? Try to pray to your God today, to show you your altar that was build without knowing you pushed Jesus down in your life. This is the presence altar we build in our life, even if we build it secretly in our thoughts hidden from others.
Thank you for reading and supporting me and my blog. Be blessed!

To protect endangered animals like the Eastern Quolls and Bush Stone-curlews, ACT Parks and Conservation Service will be continuing fox control within the Mulligans Flat, Little Mulligans Flat and Goorooyarroo Nature Reserves using 1080 meat baits and Canid Pest Ejectors (CPEs) from Monday 11 December 2017. The purpose of the poisoning program within the reserves is to facilitate the survival of native fauna and to protect re-introduced species within the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary.
Baiting in the vicinity of the sanctuary will lessen the likelihood of a fox incursion inside the predator-free area. Baits have been used in the area for many years for this purpose.
Baiting will not occur within 500 metres of inhabited dwellings. 1080 is particularly effective in the control of foxes and other canids. Dog owners are advised that domestic dogs are at risk of poisoning and there is no effective antidote to 1080. Dogs are not permitted in Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, Little Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve and the neighbouring Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve. Notices advising of the poisoning program will be placed at all entrances to baited areas.
This program of poisoning is on-going. For more information contact the Mulligans Flat Ranger David Whitfield through Access Canberra on 132281.

My run home in pictures (Part 2)
(This is the second part of a photo essay of my run home from work. Click here to see the first half, photos 1 through 20.)
21) See some neighorhood guys playing catch in their front yard.
22) Begin a two-mile run eastward. I note, with concern, my lengthening shadows on the street. I begin to pick up the pace.
23) Pass a baseball game at Bishop Chatard High School.
24) And see the manager give his team a few pointers.
25) Run past a house I lived in for a few weeks, as a renter, when I first moved to Indy.
26) Dash past Glendale Mall. Notice the sun setting over Target. Remember why I ususally prefer to run in the woods.
27) Run past my mechanic's garage. Say hi to my Jeep, still out of commission.
28) Run down a quiet road, as it begins to get dark. I have another two miles or so.
29) Oh man, I don't remember this dead end. I'll have to backtrack a quarter-mile.
30) Continue along some narrow roads, watching carefully for traffic.
31) Getting closer. Just have to cut through a few more subdivisions.
32) And another one.
33) Finally, home!
OK, by this time, it's so dark, you can't see my house in the background. I got home around 8:30 p.m., meaning my run took two hours and 12 minutes — a bit longer than usual, but it was fun to capture a few scenes.
Now I just have to figure how to make it home completely on dirt trails. That would be a big challenge. Stay tuned!

This is so cool! I love that you took photos along the way.

Did you miss mass the weekend we shared the Preserve our Legacy Update?
Hello everyone! I'm Wendy Kelly, principal of St. Laurence. About a year ago, I spoke to you with three goals in mind; one, to address some of the negative press that had begun to circulate as a result of the Diocesan study of our schools, second, to invite you to join me in attending one of the first meetings the Diocese hosted to share their data and to begin the discussion of potential future plans, and third, to give you an update on what we were working to achieve at St. Laurence. At that time, I told you that my focus on the downward enrollment trends of our Elgin deanery schools was not one of hopelessness, but was on the untapped market. That number kept standing out to me. It was that, combined, our Elgin Catholic Schools have 4% of the school-age market. In other words, the parents of 96% of the school-age children in our area had not yet been shown why they would want to be a part of our school family. My marketing background saw that as a huge untapped market and one that we needed to focus on.
Fast forward to this past fall…while our efforts to spread the word about our school did halt the downward enrollment spiral at St. Laurence, they had not garnered enough interest in the form of new students which was why Father held a meeting to be transparent about the financial situation of our school. While the obvious response might have been to feel a sense of defeat, the positive energy that came from this and evolved into our Protecting the Legacy group has been what I view as a God Wink…I believe He wants our parish and school to thrive and that has been evident in the concerted push to Save Our School. I am thrilled and grateful to have the support of so many to continue the path we began last year to take our school from good to GREAT!
With that said, I would like to share with you briefly our Strategic plan goals. I can not emphasize enough the fact that this has evolved from and continues to be a team effort.
Part of the Diocesan self study involved creating a Strategic Plan for the entire Diocese. While they encourage us to create our own tailored to St. Laurence, we are only required to develop 3 goals each year, ours has 17 goals that fall under these categories. Doing 'just enough' isn't going to help us achieve greatness.
One of the points Father Andrew brought up in the fall was his desire to help our Parish and school families on their journey toward our Catholic Faith. Some of the initiatives or goals that have been implemented to do this have come from our Legacy committees and include.
- Improved mass attendance
- Sunday school
- Mass buddy program
- Junior usher program
- Morning meeting-daily reading/prayer
- Parish school community building
One of our main goals in regards to achieving academic excellence is technology. It is a reality. What is difficult in this realm is the fact that it changes so rapidly and, as educators, we really have no way of knowing what the future holds for our students in this realm. With that in mind, it is not enough to put devices in our students hands to be able to say our students have Ipads. Our focus has been on meaningful ways to incorporate technology to enhance learning and promote critical and innovative thinking .
Some of the new additions we've added are:
- Spanish language-5-8
- Gifted Enrichment Pullout Program 3-8
- Three preschool class offerings
We hear a lot about STEM, but I'd like to share with you why it's important and why we are focusing on improving our curriculum in this area. According to the U. S. Department of Commerce, STEM occupations are growing at 17%, while other occupations are growing at 9.8%. STEM degree holders have a higher income even in non-STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics workers play a key role in the sustained growth and stability of the U.S. economy, and are a critical component to helping the U.S. win the future. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Innovation leads to new products and processes that sustain our economy. This innovation and science literacy depends on a solid knowledge base in the STEM areas. It is clear that most jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science.
It is important because we prioritize giving our students the best preparation for their future that we possibly can.
To go along with the STEM focus, we identified math last year as an area of weakness and because our focus is on individualized, differentiated learning or meeting each student where they are, we are working on implementing Guided Math school-wide. This is a strategy that allows students to be grouped according to their level of understanding of a topic and their tasks are then designed to help them gain an understanding of that topic. This format also allows the teacher to meet with each student in addition to promoting independent learning through the rotation.
Our Preserving the Legacy Beyond the Classroom committee created many of these additional offerings to enhance our curriculum.
- Community life program
- STEM workshop
- Expanded Summer camp offerings
Last year I also shared with you a sign that I keep in my office that says, Remember that the important thing is to keep the important thing the important thing. As someone who spent many years at the high school level and has seen firsthand the emotional difficulties many students face, this area has always been important to me…more important that academics, quite frankly. In recent months, mental health has become even more of a focus in our world. What are we doing in our schools to help our kids understand how to maneuver life? At St. Laurence, we are doing quite a few. Starting with our discipline program. I understand that Catholic schools are traditionally known for their strict discipline, but we have to ensure that the focus is to help our children understand how to make responsible choices based on an understanding of the reasoning behind them. Teaching children to just be obedient isn't a long-term fix.
Our focus is on catching students making good choices. It's a change in mindset and is proving to be very effective! Some of the ways we do this are:
- Good choice pledge
- Positive office referrals
- Golden spatula challenge
- Conflict resolution tools
Individuals who believe their talents can be developed(through hard work,good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset.
Monthly growth mindset themes are incorporated school-wide.
Once again, how can we give our students tools that will provide for future success?
Here's another one that we can all probably improve upon. How do we react to external and internal stimuli? Our Mindful moments of empowerment plan helps teach our students tools like breathing, reflection, centering, and prayer to help them refocus and de stress. It is also intended to help with the preventative aspect of the discipline program.
As I mentioned earlier, our Preserving the Legacy group of committees and volunteers has been working tirelessly to provide support in many areas, but these are a few highlights.
- Community awareness through effective marketing.
- Alumni outreach
- Social media focus
- Website improvements
You have probably noticed our bright new look! It's been awesome to take new families around our building and show it off. This was the result of Phase I of our Extreme Makeover St Laurence edition.
And we aren't done yet, Phase II of the painting happened over Spring Break. We are brightening up the library and turning it into a multi-use center that includes the addition of a STEM Maker Space that allows for guided and unguided creative innovation. Bathrooms got a face-lift and motivational, uplifting sayings were added.
One update that I am especially excited about is incorporating ways to engage and team with parents to help provide consistency. Some of the ideas include discussions on utilizing Discipline with Dignity, growth mindset, mindfulness at home. Another way is to create opportunities for parents to receive the benefits of some of the social/emotional focus. Because we know parenting is one of the most stressful (but rewarding) things we do, we started a monthly wine and yoga night for parents/parishioners. Check our website for information on dates and times.
So, that's an update on what has been going on in our school! It has truly been a team effort and, because of this, we are no longer the best kept secret in Elgin! How do I know this? Because, while we typically get calls for tours this time of year, it isn't the busiest time yet. The past couple of months have been very busy. Based on the families we have already registered and those who have expressed a strong interest, this is approximately where we are now. This is not my projection. I expect to see this rise. Keep in mind that the busy time is yet to come.
I truly believe God brings our students to us for a reason… they just needed to know about us! I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of what we have been trying to achieve the past couple of years! It's working! We are whittling away at the 96%. It's an exciting time to be a Tiger!!
Now, time for my shameless plug…If you know of a family who is interested in our school, please share our contact information. I'd love to set up a time to share with them what sets our school apart! God bless you and have a wonderful week! Call 847-468-6100.

The Closing Bell: Will Optimism For Stocks Return?
AUDIE CORNISH, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Im Audie Cornish.
Investors actually have something to sing about as they ring in the New Year tonight. Stock prices are up in 2010. The Dow Industrial Average gained 11 percent this year and the S&P 500 gained 13 percent. Thats a broader measure of overall market performance. So after some rockier times, thats some good news for the economy. A sign of rebound in action.
But there are also those scarier signs; a weak job market and the European banking crisis just to name two.
NPR's Jim Zarroli reports.
JIM ZARROLI: Liz Ann Sonders has been looking on the bright side for a long time. Sonders is chief market strategist at Charles Schwab, and she's been seeing signs of a turnaround for a while.
Ms LIZ ANN SONDERS (Chief Investment Strategist, Charles Schwab): In the spring of '09, I felt very strongly that I had to apologize for optimism, because it was certainly not a very popular position to have.
ZARROLI: Even though the economy was flat on its back, Sonders was urging investors to stay the course. To make big money in the market, she said, you have to come in when most people are feeling scared - when no one can see the recovery coming.
This year Sonders has had her optimism tested again. For the first few months of the year, stocks did well. Then everything changed.
(Soundbite of a riot)
Unidentified Woman: Violence on the streets of Athens, as anger over harsh economic cutbacks boiled over. Three people died when protesters fire bombed a bank, a symbolic target in Greece's troubled times.
ZARROLI: Countries such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal which had borrowed heavily during the boom were having trouble paying their debts. A lot of big banks had lent money to these countries, and for a time it seemed like the second wave of the banking crisis that had brought down Lehman Brothers.
David Kelly is chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
Mr. DAVID KELLY (Chief Market Strategist, J.P. Morgan Funds): The fear was that if one of these sovereign countries was to default, the banking system in Europe and the banking system around the world would take it on the chin again.
ZARROLI: On May 6th, in the middle of the crisis, came the flash crash, when the Dow fell more than 600 points in a few minutes. It was the kind of event that seared itself into the nervous systems of traders.
(Soundbite of a news clip)
Mr. BEN LICHTENSTEIN (Futures Trader): Here comes Morgan Stanley to sell. Morgan Stanley comes in to sell a 100...
ZARROLI: This recording of Chicago futures trader Ben Lichtenstein responding to the crash became a hit on YouTube.
Mr. LICHTENSTEIN: Guys, once it gets 75 - even offer. We are now, guys, 70 even offered. Sixty-nine trade.
ZARROLI: The flash crash would later be blamed on an unusual trade by a mutual fund company that set off a fierce round of computer-driven selling. The market rebounded as quickly as it fell.
And soon, David Kelly says, European governments organized a bailout that eased the banking crisis.
Mr. KELLY: I think that really reassured a lot of investors. And they've had doubts since then. But every time people have doubted what European governments were going to do, they've been very resolute in saying: We are going to make sure that nobody defaults here.
ZARROLI: In the months since then, there have been slow but steady signs that the economy is rebounding, though the job market is still weak.
The Federal Reserve embarked on a controversial program of quantitative easing, buying up government securities to stimulate the economy. All that seems to have persuaded investors that the rebound is for real. Stocks have been steadily rising.
But David Kelly says the wild swings of the past few years have left investors cautious.
Mr. KELLY: It's funny. A few years ago, everybody was asking me: What are the hot areas in markets? And now no one wants a hot area for fear they're going to eventually get burned.
ZARROLI: Among the stocks that are rising the fastest are technology and consumer companies. Liz Ann Sonders says she still believes investors are underestimating the strength of the recovery.
Ms. SONDERS: I don't have an expectation that we're going to have a boom in 2011. But I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised, relative to what are still fairly subdued expectations.
ZARROLI: So has it become a little easier to be an optimist?
Ms. SONDERS: I feel like I no longer have to apologize for...
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. SONDERS: ...for my optimism, and that has taken a while.
ZARROLI: Sonders says at some point investor sentiment will turn more positive. She says that may be the time when the financial markets are overheating again, and investors should think about pulling out.

Anti-theft sign stolen in N. Texas
RENO — An anti-theft sign in North Texas has been swiped.
One of the 20 signs that Parker County Crime Stoppers put out in Reno, to tell residents how to report crimes like theft, has turned up missing.
Reno Mayor Roen Cox said the city secretary was driving home this month when she noticed that one of the signs was gone.
"Somebody ripped us off. It's pretty bad," Cox said. "We've had a lot of thefts and burglaries, and someone steals the sign."
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward, based on the value of the sign. Cox said the town will match the reward.
Reno is a community of about 2,700, located 25 miles northwest of Fort Worth.

King Abdullah Port Closer to 4 Million TEU Milestone
The infrastructure of the Berth 5 and Berth 6 at Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Port is taking shape as the port informed that the works at the site are expected to be finished in a few weeks.
The two berths are part of the port's strategic expansion plan, which aims to increase the port's capacity, thus boosting its standing in the maritime industry.
"With the two new berths, the port's annual capacity will rise to four million TEU as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2017," Eng. Abdullah Hameedadin, Managing Director of the Ports Development Company, the owner and developer of King Abdullah Port, said.
Last year, King Abdullah Port's annual throughput rose to 1.27 million TEU. This figure is expected to continue rising despite the challenges faced by the market and a slowing down of global economic growth, the port said. Moreover, the port's annual capacity had risen by 25% to reach about four million.
The management of King Abdullah Port expects to finalize the first phase of bulk cargo terminals with a capacity of three million tons, in addition to the roll-on/roll-off terminals with a capacity of 300,000 CEU by the beginning of 2017.
The announcement comes on the back of a SAR 2.7 billion (USD 719.6 million) financial deal signed for the development and expansion of the port's facilities in early October.
The owner and developer of the port, The Ports Development Company, signed the agreement with SABB and the Arab National Bank. Under the deal PDC will work to provide proper financing for the next phase of expansion and development for the port's southern basin, which includes an additional container terminal, a ro-ro terminal and a bulk cargo terminal.
The expansion works would increase the port's total capacity to 6 million TEUs annually.

A recent Wall Street Journal article is full of praise for a 70-year-old about to graduate from the University of Virginia. This is a common feel-good theme often played up in the media at this time of the year. I am all for doing whatever you want in retirement, but I object to singling out college graduation for special applause. Is the goal of graduating from college any more praiseworthy than any other retirement goal, such as sampling every bar and taproom in Detroit?
Based on the large number of old-grad stories, first-in-their-family-ever-to-graduate-from-college stories, I suspect it is far easier to get into a prestigious college when you are 70 than when you are 18. And why not? What college would not welcome such positive publicity and be paid many thousands of dollars besides? If someone is so willing to pay so much for an ego trip, why not take their money?
The septuagenarian featured in the article is enjoying all sorts of extra-curricular activities, as surely he can by majoring in "interdisciplinary studies." He should have had my notorious organic chemistry professor who snarled at his first lecture for us to look at the person seated on our right and left because one of us would be gone by the end of the semester. But "Septy," as I'll call our elderly graduate, is not taking up a valuable dorm room, lab space, or any other resources other than an occasional back seat in a lecture hall.
Septy is a fraternity brother, but was not required to pledge and lives off-campus with his wife. (I would like to read an article on her.) All he does is pay fraternity dues. I assume his wife does not let him cruse kegers with drunken coeds on Saturday nights, but he may soon crave that as a deeper denial of aging. His main activity is whooping it up at sports events with the student cheering section called the "Hoo Crew," where he is known for his enthusiasm and his orange, Phyllis Diller fright-wig.
I realize this is becoming a rant that is more about my resentment of the partying frat boys I knew at Penn State while I was living a very Spartan life. But, if that is what you want, have fun Septy. Just be aware, your young buddies are not really your buddies. They are laughing at you and will move on with their own lives that you will be no part of. You will look back on your Hoo Crew days as a silly waste of time. But it could be worse. You could be a Philadelphia Mummer (Zing!).
"I don't think retirement was really for us'" says Mrs. Septy, buying into the whole charade.
Do you really think you and your husband are not retired? Better you had put your money in a yacht and hung out with people your own age, people who will understand the life-changes to come.

Entropy-Constrained Trellis Coded Quantization: Implementation and Adaptation
Lee, Cheng-Chieh
Farvardin, Nariman
MetadataShow full item record
Entropy-constrained trellis coded quantization (ECTCQ) of memoryless sources is known to be an efficient source coding technique in the rate-distortion sense. We develop an ECTCQ scheme that employs a symmetric reproduction codebook. The symmetry of the reproduction codebook, while essentially costs no performance loss, is exploited to reduce the memory requirement in entropy coding the ECTCQ output. In practice, a buffer of finite, and preferably small, size is needed to interface the variable-length codewords to the fixed-rate channel. An adaptive ECTCQ (A-ECTCQ) scheme, which uses a buffer-state feedback to control the quantizer characteristics to avoid buffer overflow/underflow, is studied in this work. The choice of encoding delay is an important issue in A- ECTCQ, as too long a delay will adversely impact the performance of the feedback control. We propose a pathwise-adaptive ECTCQ (PA-ECTCQ) that solves the encoding delay problem. Simulation results indicate that, while the buffer overflow/underflow problems of the PA- ECTCQ can be practically eliminated, the overall quantization distortion is increased only negligibly over theoretical performance predictions. Our experiments also suggests that PA- ECTCQ is robust with respect to source mismatch.

Ocean Art
Cut out the shape of any ocean animal. Also cut out the inside of the animal leaving about a half an inch of paper. Then let the children paste tissue paper of different colors onto wax paper. When this is dry, allow them to glue the shape of their animal over the wax paper. Stick up on window, makes a beautiful stained glass picture 🙂
This is an old art form that has been forgotten, I think. But my kids enjoy it and each have fishes hanging from their bedroom ceiling… Items need: * small round balloons * string * newspaper (I prefer splurging for white) * 1 cup starch * 3 cups water * colored tissue paper * construction paper or poster board.
Directions: Mix starch and water together in a saucepan and stir over low heat with wooden spoon until mixture is sticky. Blow up balloon and tie tightly with string. Tear newsprint into strips. Rub starch mixture cooled to warm all over balloon. Dip newsprint into mixture, piece by piece. Run through fingers to take off excess starch. Smooth each piece onto, balloon overlapping until it's covered. Hang overnight to dry. When hard, puncture with pin to let out air. Now with tissue paper tear into pieces. You can either glue straight on or we balled ours up the glued on for texture. You can cut fins and tail from construction paper or lightweight cardboard to complete.
SHINY CRABS- a cutout of a crab put corn syrup on it and red and yellow tempera paint. Let the kids finger-paint. When dry they will look like shiny crabs.
Rainbow fish-
Cut out a fish shape then cut out pieces of either tissue paper or construction paper squares for gluing on. Then out of aluminum foil cut out one shiny piece for the special scale.
Each child is given a small piece of thick card. On this card they will put a thick layer of PVA craft glue onto which they spread dried split peas, barley etc.. When this card has dried, the children then decorate a small starfish with glitter or sequins. The starfish will then be glued on top of the dried peas. There you have a starfish on the bottom of the ocean.

Believe it or not we made it home in one piece. Thank God those customs guys didn't stop us, I think we may have been just a little bit over our allowed amount to bring back into the country.
It has been just over a week since we got Gwynnie home and we are finale back to normal. Well, normal for the Jamails. Ethan is at Nana's house and Alex has the flu. Doesn't that sound just about right? I should have known something was up when my Pediatrician kept saying our daughter from China HAD to be healthier than my home grown kids. hee hee.
The flight home was half great. Gwynn was a total trooper, she didn't cry for more than a few minutes when she was really hungry or trying to fall asleep. Brad was the perfect attentive daddy. It was me who had the problems. About 10 hours into our 20 hour trek home I started feeling nauseous, and spent the next 10 hours staring into a barf bag or shoving flight attendants and passenger's out of line for the lav's. Its was terrible. We had such a wonderful trip, but I just fell apart the last two days. When I did shove a flight attendant on my mad dash to the bathroom, she waited outside the lavatory. She just had to ask me if I was pregnant, knowing we had just adopted a baby girl. Well, I thought to myself, if this is going to get me any special favors or more sympathy I would go along with it. It worked, I had the flight attendants running interference for me and helping me find empty bathrooms when the "need " arose.
Brad kept telling me he thought we should stay over in New Jersey until I felt better. I just wanted to get home. We had a wonderful airport employee meet us in Customs and immigration with a wheel chair. She was great. I held Gwynn on my lap while Brad lugged around all of our carry on luggage and stroller. This wonder woman pushed me and the cart with our checked baggage. She took us to the front of every line and got us to our connecting flight with a ton of time to spare. I told Brad it was kind of surreal, being wheeled around with Gwynn like they wheeled me out of the hospital with the boys. Funny thing was I had felt much better after giving birth than I did after a 14 1/2 hour flight.
We finale got home at 9 pm. When we pulled into the driveway we could see the boys pressing there faces to the front window waiting for us. They were soooo excited. Alex couldn't stop kissing things, my leg, Gwynn, the wall, even his brother. Ethan was all smiles and questions, they have really fallen in love with there sister. She just fits right into the family.
Gwynn is adjusting to us very well. She is still a very serious little girl, but she knows how to loosen up. She will be sitting in the middle of the floor being totally quiet and all of a sudden out of no where she just burst out laughing, good belly laughs. Grandma was a big help the week she stayed. She took most of the night time duty and played with the boys during the day. We sure hated to see her go, and I am sure she hated to leave. My dad threatened her with divorce if she didn't come home, yea right dad, you couldn't live without her, hee hee. So now it is just the 5 of us. Anyone want to come visit???????
I am going to try to keep the blog updated with pictures and funny stories about the family. Keep checking, you never know what I might get us all into, ha!!

The Traditional Algarve House
Being marked with a powerful Moorish influence, various features are commonly found in most Algarve houses, giving the region its quite distinctive face.
Common to all houses, and one of the great prides of their owners, is the whiteness of the buildings' walls. Not only is this an effective means of reflecting back the bright light and heat of the summer sun, but the limewash of the walls is also frequently reapplied as it represents a symbol of cleanliness and pride.
Contrasting with the purity of the white are the green, blue and ochre borders painted around the doors and windows. The architectural details vary depending on the region and location, with the key differences being noted between the houses built in the hills, those of the inland plains and those built along the coast.
In the Serra do Caldeirão, the traditional houses were built of stone or local clays, being circular in shape and surmounted by a cone-shaped thatched roof. More recent constructions now have a rectangular format and are made from schist and red sandstone.
In the hills of Serra de Monchique, houses are built out of blocks of cut granite, giving the region a particular dark greyish tone.
Down on the plains, the typical house of the central part of the Algarve is small in size and built out of limewashed stone, with roofs that are covered with either Moorish or Portuguese-style tiles surmounted by narrow, but finely carved and patterned chimneys.
Along the coast, houses tend to be built in several storeys with roofs that are accessed by outside staircases leading up to a terrace from which the boats can be seen returning to the harbour at the end of a day's fishing.
A characteristic feature of the coastal residences, the Moorish-influenced roof terrace is a place where a little cool and rest can be sought, but it is also used to dry the figs, almonds and corn. Being both useful and highly decorative, the fascias protect the terraces and complete the main facades, taking on different geometrical shapes and brightening the houses with a wide range of different colours.
As far as the chimneys are concerned, these are the very symbol of the Algarve region, for they are found on all the houses and are always finely carved and patterned.
