|Whooah, we're on a roll. 28 years later we re-release Automation 250 , this fixed a bug in Necron's Ultra-Load depack routines. The menu code has also had a slight update, 3 changes to be exact if you can spot them!
|And now for something new!
Created by members and close collaborators of D-Bug, today marks the first release by Bello Games, entitled bexa64n!
To put it simply it's a game rendered inside a puny 64x64 window and plays not unlike a famous indie hexagonal game :). The reasons for this release are:
1. To give a teaser preview of a bigger release in the works called Bexagon
2. To give Atarians a new game they can play right now
3. To be the first game that has a dual release (Jaguar/Falcon030) using a single source base! The whole game was written in our very own dialect of Basic called Bello Basic which (with only a few exceptions) can generate the two very different binaries from the same source base which perform identical!
And that's pretty much it. Visit the above links, download and enjoy this first release. And stay tuned for more!
|Let's cast our minds back to 2009 for a bit...
D-Bug was really active back then, releasing a lot of games for newer Ataris and adding hard disk loading capability. During that frenzy we decided we should put an end to our Compacted Disk series, releasing our last menu as a full CD-ROM which contained new stuff plus all the older menus and patches. (Shortly afterwards we would put most activities to the backburner and pursue other fun stuff to do). During the period we were gathering things to put in CD #200 we received an email out of the blue. It was from our friend n0kturnal and contained a Pasti image of a really rare game on the ST - Robbo! Reports say it's so rare that it only ever sold 80 copies in all! What a boon for us - we could include something really special!
I drew the short straw and got to work taking it apart and making it hard drive and Falcon friendly. Everything seemed fine, we tested a lot of levels and it all seemed fine. So it was greenlit and included into the final CD.
Fast forward to last Sunday when I got a friendly email from another pole, bartek030 informing me that my version of Robbo actually had a showstopping issue that would freeze the game past level 44 (if I remember correctly!). Oops! And not only that, but he also sent me a link to atarionline.pl where there is a page devoted to it, including an interview with the creators thanking the people who cracked it but a pity it wasn't working fully. Double oops!
So back into Robbo I went again, fixing all issues and exposing the in-game trainer so this time I can verify that the game goes all the way to the end sequence (which is very nice, you should check it out :)).
Enough talking, now grab the new updated version and have fun! And who knows, maybe in 10 years I might backport all the literally hundreds of Atari 800 version levels to this version! (if anyone wants to help, get in touch!)
|Hey look, even more new stuff!
Grazey brings you SNDH update 4.7! So go grab it and don't forget to leave a comment on the blog!
|A happy new year to everyone!
Look! Third post in one month - world record! Does this mean D-Bug is finally back in action? Who knows!
In the meantime GGN spent a couple of hours on new year's eve to make a pitifully small Falcon intro using a brand new TiNKer pic and an old tune by 505. It was planned to add snowflakes dancing but since it didn't snow in Greece he decided to go for realistic weather model instead ;) (that, or he ran out of time because he tried to do everything at the last minute). Get it here. In a bizarre twist of events an unknown person sent us a ST/STE version - grab it here. Here's also the Pouet link if you're so inclined to leave a comment!
|Not to be outdone by GGN's news, Showaddywaddy has made his first patch in 4 years! He starts his rebirth with Disc, a decent Tron like clone. Will this be the start of a more active period in the Automation / D-Bug journey.... we shall see.
|Second news item in one year - wooo, we're on fire!
So, news:
Showaddywaddy and GGN attended Outline again and it was a blast! Not many Atari people or Atari activity in there but those who were there made it worthwhile. And while we were there we thought "Why don't we win the Atari demo compo?" ;). And so we did: HipSid, Grazey's brainchild that combined Mad Max tunes with SID voices, ranked first in the compo! You can read a very brief note about it on the SNDH blog. With about 10 hours of non-stop music action it is well worth a download!
GGN also attended Sommarhack, but with less one month to prepare something for the compo more complex endeavours weren't feasible.
With about a week or two left for the party, GGN got a request from Lotek Style of tSCc. Specifically, an old music disk by EKO called Epidemic has never behaved properly - the intro would run but the music selector would crash violently. A quick fix was made for it, yet many issues still remain: there is a lot of screen tearing on the 3D objects in the background which (given the short time frame) weren't apparent to fix. Also a tune was missing, and that's because this music disk appears to be a port of a PC music disk of the same name - the tune in question is an 8 channel .mod file, something that the player was not capable of playing. Fortunately Lotek managed to source a 4 channel version so cheers to him and the person that did the conversion (details are a bit sketchy, either the tune was converted using a tool or was hand fixed).
So with the music disk in a state of "works, not that great but at least it gets the job done" it was time to let it out for the world to yawn at (sorry!). However, since Sommarhack was just around the corner it looked silly not to release it during the party. And a release there without an intro looked quite poor, so something had to be done :). The initial design was to use an old and unfinished intro (from 2004 no less!) and just use an old tune. So I set out to debug the code, convert some old logos to monochrome, use an unreleased tune from Dubmood and just be done with it. But then something unexpected happened: after describing my idea to people, they sending me assets! XiA sent a 3 minutes and 30 seconds tune, TiNKer drew some tiled backgrounds. Now I actually had to put some effort in it - oh noes!
The whole ordeal took about 3 days, and it was finished 2 days before the party. Nothing exciting to say about these 2 days apart from having to join everything into something that wouldn't make people fall asleep. Somehow I suspect it was not too successful at that ;). One thing worth mentioning is that it works on both RGB and VGA and maintains proper sync with the music - not that many Falcon productions do that :). In any case it ranked 4th at the compo, and you can download it here and check it out for yourselves, or watch it on YouTube.
In other news, GGN and DML of TPT teamed up to bring new versions of the gcc compiler to the ST! Each had their own reasons to do this which is another story, but you can read more about the work and getting the files from an experimental blog/soapbox/call-it-what-you-will, Beyond Brown where a few people just dump their thoughts and texts in no particular order or discipline.
The year is not over yet so there might be something from us still, so stay tuned!
As for CJ? Well, he's quite happy in Jaguar land. Head over to the Atari Age forums if you want to say "hi" to him!
|Ever wondered what the mighty D-Bug web-server looks like? Well now you know, running on a state-of-the-art Raspberry Pi!
|Here we are again - another Christmas! Could we let this be a dull celebration without any Atari?
Of course not!
Here's a small demo we made in cooperation with Excellence in art and the lovely Acca! To our knowledge this is the first intro that is distributed in source code format only. To run it, you must assemble it! Fear not though, because we have bundled the assembler that was used to develop the intro (rmac) as well as a script that can assemble it. Hopefully it won't be a huge bother for people :).
It is dedicated to a very special person, we hope that the person in question sees it and likes it!
And that's it, merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
|New hard drive patch!
Back in July GGN visited Sommarhack, and he had a jolly good time too! The usual place, nice people, laid back atmosphere, BBQ, conversations, jokes, plans - what more could one want from a party? Releases maybe? Yes there were releases!
...sadly one didn't work as expected :( - and it was a bummer because it looked really interesting. I know Evil/DHS did his best to make the demo work, for you see the demo is Rebirth by Cybernetics. Originally the demo wants 2 floppy drives which are a rarity on its own, but the real kicker was that the track loader is a bit too sensitive to timings (or the disks were faulty, I don't think we'll ever know). End result is that the demo looped around a specific part for 5-6 minutes - we thought that was the flow of the demo so we were bummed about it :(. Evil assured us that the demo actually goes on and has other parts. Sadly it ranked low on the results...
When I got back home I got myself a copy of the demo and went to work to make it run from hard drives. I even got in contact with Metal Ages (the coder of the demo) while trying to patch it (I tried to make it run as a stand alone .prg, but by the time Metal Ages replied I had already fixed it - sorry Jerome!). And I was getting ready to slap my usual loader and release it in the wild.
And then in a weird case of synchronicity, !Cube of Aggression messaged me, asking me if I had any releases because he wanted to code an intro for us! I happily accepted. And waited. And then waited some more for the logo. And then waited some more till he got back from vacations. And then I got the final version, added the intro to my stuff, did some last minute debugging, and here we are: Rebirth, single parted, hard drive installable! (it even fits on a 800k disk, yay!). 2 megs of ram needed sadly, but hey just upgrade your STE :D
|Just a quick note to say that since about 1 week we're moving servers, so a few things might be inoperative (most notably the forum). We're flogging the server gimps as hard as possible and hope to be fully operational soon!
We've updated Trans D-Bug Express to version 1.03. Bug fixes and added features, the main being that you can change the retries during read using F2/F3, it is also possible to quit out of a read using F10. Oh and F1 now makes TDE write an MSA file even if the maximum number of retries have been used up. See the read me for more info.
And now that we have TDE, Shw has imaged some of his old dodgy disks which Fcopy and MSA couldn't image. Therefore the Dumping Ground is updated!
PHF/D-Bug/Kua/Live co-production!
We have lots of little internal utilities stashed on our hard-drives. One of which sees the light of day with a lick of paint and some added polish. Released at Outline 2015 but not making the compos as we didn't know which category to enter it in! TDE is a little MSA imager which has many advantages over existing programs including lush Ukko graphics and industrial Kraftwerk sonics by gwEm. See readme for full docs.YouTube video here!
|I suppose it's time for our biyearly news post! Happy new year and all! It's true that this website has seen busier days, but its members have been far from silent in Atari.
Showaddywaddy has been busy as always on the SNDH archive, ripping tunes to the end of time. He also released an update to his SNDH editor, visit the link to grab it. He also has a blog that he updates... sometimes - lazy boy ;).
Cyrano Jones has been having most of the fun lately: he finally released his Jaguar graphics library called RAPTOR that makes coding on the machine much easier! Then he got bored waiting for good games to come to the Jaguar, so he started porting ST games to the machine, something that many people thought it was hard or impossible! Well, just for his own amusement here's Rick Dangerous, Gauntlet II, Mercenary, Buggy Boy, Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh, Carrier Command, Super Sprint and Metro Cross! So now nobody has an excuse for not getting a Jaguar - ther are a handful of good games for it :). Also, here's a small writeup on the process of porting a game to the Jaguar.
Finally, GGN has been all over the place! First he provided patches to Jookie's terrific CosmosEx device, mainly the translated driver, so D-Bug games will load from network drive - yay! Also added the TT compatibility, and by the looks of it will beta test the next generation that will be Falcon compatible! Then, in December he ported 2 Basic dialects to the Jaguar that work with CJ'S RAPTOR library! AtariAge has a dedicated forum for RBASIC (ported by GGN and CJ) and RBASIC+ (ported mostly by GGN). A lengthy writeup on how this happened can be read here (Caution! Wall of Text in there :)). Last week he released a demo called Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me for the Global Convention of Worldwide Demo Developers International, Inc. 2015 and came first! And today he took the time to check out a Falcon demo (sent to him by Lotek Style) by Hydroxid that refused to run. Not any more! Love vs Darkness by Hydroxid is here for your pleasure!
So that's it for now - see you in a few months when we can be arsed to post again!
|August? Bloody hell, where did the time go? Anyway...
Shw and GGN were present at Outline (as usual) and they even brought gifts! A very special gift too as this release was hiding in the dark for more than 20 years! And by no other than TLB - not every day you expect to see a new release by them, right? :)
Killing Spree was sent to us by Lowlife/Hotline and we thought it'd be a good idea to release it at the party. So we worked on the sources a bit, chained them, added a small intro just enough to play Spaz's quartet tune (I suppose people know which intro this is when they look at it!) and added an unreleased Scavenger tune so the main game won't be silent! It ranked 2nd on the competition, but who cares, it's TLB stuff, enjoy! Mega thanks to Lowlife for the sources and TLB for allowing us to release it!
In other news, our friend KrazyK has been busy converting Automation and D-Bug menus to Windows platform, and just today we received a new batch of remade intros from him. Download and enjoy!

|Happy new year everyone, even if it's a bit late!
So, to business! Seems like Futur Minds have made a small boo-boo in their Snork megademo, which in essence crashed the machine before running the ULM screen. Well, after some digging I managed to extract the file from the disk and run it.And was a bit surprised at what I saw... Download it for yourself and I'm sure you'll be too!
|Wow, a news item!
Just a quick fix for you this time, Evolution by Exa, that fabled Falcon demo that few people can manage to get running on their Falcons has been fixed! (it ran flawlessly on my machine at least :)). Download and enjoy - remember, RGB only!
|Our friend KrazyK (you might remember him from the forum) has been busy recreating some of our intro menus on PC, and I thought I'd mention them as they're really faithful recreations! So download them and have a look!

|A heart beat from team D-Bug. About bloody time! I've taken a week off from SNDH matters to release Muzzy a rare puzzle game which had never been filed. I've added a lives/time trainer and my version also runs on STFM, how novel!
|Slapfight continues the trend of taxing shoot-em-ups. Again I've included a life and invincibilty trainer. This allows you to see how much later levels influenced Factor 5's Turrican 2 vertical shooter level.
|Phobia next, an insanely difficult shoot-em-up by Ratt. My version is the only one around that includes a shield trainer. This just about makes this game playable. Some lovely varied graphics on the later levels, something which not many people will have seen!
|Two sports games next. Firstly Winter Games which I loved playing on the C64 back in the day. Secondly Buffalo Bill which isn't my cup of tea but some people like it!
|Now my intro is 100% patches should appear more regularly. Next for release is Lotus 3. I've had this lying on my hard-drive 95% complete for 3 years!
|Shw is back with Stormlord. He's updated the intro which now features speech if you have an STe or greater! Look out for exclusive tracks on his next few patches!
|D-Bug Team
|Klaz continues his onslaught of tasty patches for your delectation...

Maryland Motorcycle Accident Deaths
May 30, 2012 by Eric Saiontz
Filed under Blog
According to a new report, the number of deaths caused by Maryland motorcycle accidents decreased last year, but state officials note that the differences between a crash that results in a fatality vs. non-fatal accidents can be very slight. Therefore, continued efforts to increase motorcycle safety and reduce the risk of all motorcycle accidents are important.
A study released last week by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) indicates that while there was a slight drop in the number of motorcyclist deaths in Maryland from 2010 to 2011, there was no reduction nationwide, with about 4,500 motorcycle accidents resulting in death each year.
In Maryland, there were 31 deaths during the first six months of 2011, compared with 34 during the first half of 2010. The overall drop over the course of the year has put Maryland back where it was in 2004, prior to the "bike boom".
The report suggests that the rebounding economy is putting more motorcycles on the road, as more consumers are able to buy them as recreational vehicles. At the same time, gas prices have increased, which may be pushing more people to use their motocycles due to fuel economy. Therefore, researchers suggest that if these trends continue there will be increases in motorcycle travel and accidents unless strong measures are taken.
Several states suggested that specific motorcycle safety programs may have played a role in decreasing or limiting the increase in motorcycle accidents and deaths. The report highlights how effective strategies to prevent motorcylce accidents, injuries and deaths are well known, and many states have made motorcycle safety a high priority.
The GHSA has recommended that states address five major issues:
- Increase Motorcycle Helmet Use
- Reduce Alcohol Impairment
- Reduce Speeding
- Provide Motorcyclist Training to All Who Need or Want It
- Encourage All Drivers to Share the Road with Motorcycles

|Melodic Death Metal, Pagan Metal
Trollzorn Records
September 12th, 2014
Release length: 49:14
Well, Age of Pandora definitely doesn't tread into any relatively new territory. "Of Light and Shadow" carries a dismal sensation that feels like gazing at a battlefield near the end of conflict. Once past the Hollywood film score or Nightwish-grade build up, "Age of Pandora" greets you with wonder, quickly fading to an energetic aggression behind one hook after another guaranteed to get the pit churning and your neck muscles burning with it's Blackguard similar material and traces of Children of Bodom. While far from unique, the whimsical elements found in the hooks and keyboards do help seperate it a bit, especially at the end when those very keyboards find a brief solo that leads to the most enthusiastic conclusion of the release.
"Black Witch Venture" shows a little more Folk influence to the lyrics and structuring at times. The harsher lead into the good guitar solo adds a bit of abrassiveness to the mildly sterile digital mastering, while the chanting in the chorus feels slightly empowering before the surprisingly crushing end that pushes deeper distortions and the bass guitar to the forefront for a brief amount of time. That instrument continues to take a backseat most of the album, though "Mossback Children" does bring it back out in the short bridges that carry a bit of an Oompa vibe. The start of this, however, stirs up an interesting backwoods redneck tone that is unfortunately not touched upon again.
"In Blood Remained" is one of the few that truly stand out with a little extra depth. The Folkish elements are more abundant here, though the tighter chords and harsher vocals do bring in some of the group's aforementioned Pagan Metal influence as a baseline for the atmosphere. The additional female clean singing for the chorus and additional choir voice in the distance towards the end sound great, while the closing after the solid guitar solo takes on a somewhat darker tone, both of which keeping the first of those two elements alive as much as possible. "Obey the King" has a little hostility in the mix amid traces of Neoclassical guitar work in some of the leads and bridges, all the while the slight hum of the bass guitar really shines through. And then there's "Wings of Dawn," which shows a bit of a Power Metal influence on par with Sabaton towards the chorus. Even some of the main verses have it as an undertone against some high speed music, creating a vibrant song you'll immediately be addicted too.
While Age of Pandora is a good album, it's just another drop in the bucket for Folk tinged Melodic Death Metal groups to the point where this sounds like the first Blackguard album that came off like nothing but Children of Bodom worship. Aside them, references can also be made to bands like Kalmah, Suidakra, Eluveitie, and so many others. And, as mentioned above, the incredibly crisp digital output finds much of the bite neutralized, leaving only a few tracks to really grab you to where you bob your head along obediently. But even with that crippling fault, it's impossible to ignore the enthusiasm captured from the studio. This, along with the powerhouse that is "Winds of Dawn," makes it clear that Nothgard is the kind of band that will leave you crippled in the pit more than in your car, living room, bedroom, or any other fine place you may happen to listen to music.

I missed the last (and the first) Paint Party Friday and I was really sad about it cause I was looking forward A LOT. Well, I am glad that I made it for this friday, although I am like THE LAST on the list. oh well... hopefully someone will still come visit :)
In the last months I've had an idea to paint scenes from my country (the Czech republic), but since landscapes and building were always a challenge for me, I didn't really know what format I should go for and what medium to use. And then I finally got it! ACEO! Watercolor and Acrylics... why not :) I enjoy painting little things so much and figured that it could ease it up for me with such challenging themes.
Well, I simply want to share the beauties of my home country, because I myself adore them. So here are first three. Hope you will like them!!
|This is town's square of Kromeriz, you can see a castle's tower on the left, right behind it are the castle gardens where my hubby and I got married. Such a beautiful place!
ACEO original Watercolor. Available for sale.
|This is again in Kromeriz. Close to the square. It's a white building, a school of Justice. In the front of it there is a statue of T.G.Masaryk - a great president from the past!
Original Acrylic ACEO. For sale.
Well.. let me know what you think :) I have tons more coming up, but as you can probably imagine, it will take a while as I have to really work on the details!!

We have all said at least once in our life, "I deserve _____." This doesn't seem so bad at first, but the energy behind it can be very judgmental. We are basically saying to the universe that we have endured pain and are asking for compensation with heavy expectation. This isn't how manifesting works. We need to feel worthy of our desires.
For example:
Let's say that I say out loud to the universe and declare "I deserve a medal for a marathon." The universe doesn't owe me a thing. I have not trained, signed up for, or have even run the marathon. In that moment, I am making a choice to begin the action. When I declare "I am worthy of a marathon medal" it then creates opportunity in my mind for those action steps to take place.
This is how we start to take ownership for the things we create in our life. Here is a small way to shift the mindset and start creating movement in your life and intentions.
We love getting to know you and hope that this episode has helped to inspire some movement and confidence. xo Kayla

|Simple Spicy Meatballs
This is a really quick and easy recipe I've come up with for meatballs and when I spotted some reduced on the shelf from £2.50 to £1.75 I thought it was a good time to roll out my faithful recipe once again. Not the highest of reductions ever in terms of #SOS bargains, but still a pretty decent discount and with the other ingredients worked out as dinner for two and lunch for one the next day for £2.50 - not bad!
Here's my simple spicy meatballs recipe:
1) Brown the meatballs in a frying pan with a little oil.
2) Drain off the oil.
3) Chop an onion, garlic clove and a fresh chilli (I have some #SOS ones on the go at the mo reduced from 60p to 19p!). You can use dried chilli seeds if you haven't got fresh. Soften in a saucepan with a little oil.
4) Add a teaspoon of ground coriander, a teaspoon of ground cumin and some chopped up fresh coriander stalk (keeping the leaves for later).
5) Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and the meatballs.
6) Simmer for approx 15 minutes.
7) Add a couple of handfuls of frozen peas and cook for another two minutes or so.
8) Serve with pasta and sprinkle over the coriander leaves to finish.
Simple spicy meatballs - DONE!

summer days are here
While summer took its time getting here-I am not so sure I am enjoying the 90 degree weather and high humidity. But we, or should I say my kiddos, are making the best of it:
Eden singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider
Please, someone explain to my children that we do NOT like snakes! Yikes!... and we do NOT shout "YEAH" when daddy brings them to us!
Can you touch your toes like this?

So-we blew through $300.00 worth of diapers already from the last time I blogged about diapers. We used to use a Diaper Champ-one of those great devices to throw your diapers in and keeps the smell in too. Well, the Diaper Champ lost the match, and the big old garbage pail won out. With 3 little bottoms to change, we were filling up the champ in less than a day and the champ couldn't keep up. It's a good thing we live in the boonies and people from the road can't see a big garbage pail on the front porch with little white round lumps in it. What a sight!

Memorable Performance
So, there are good days and there are bad. Today was a bad one. It all started out fine-- breakfast, getting dressed, etc.--Then we got to church. My sweet little angelic 2 year olds (maybe I am pushing the angelic part) turned into stinker pots. There is a class called cradle roll for ages 0-3 with activities and songs (many of which we sing all week long) to keep them busy--and they do pretty well following directions and participating in class. Not today. Eden, Miss Sensitive lately, had several crying episodes and Elle, The Scientist, was busy exploring and doing her 'own' thing. And of all things, today there was a program in the main church and the little ones were supposed to go up front to sing "Ring-a-ling-a-ling" and ring their little hand bells. I should've known before we even went into the church sanctuary that is was a bad idea when Elle, whose hand I was holding, (I had the baby in the other arm) started flopping around, falling to the ground and throwing a tantrum. Eden wasn't behaving any better with Blaine. We got up to the front of the church and of course, we were last, so we ended up being in the FRONT of all these parent w/their babies and little ones. As soon as the teacher started the song, Eden started crying and threw her bells off the platform. Elle, who is Monkey See Monkey do, threw her bells and both started throwing temper tantrums. I could just feel the heat rise in my body. Of all places and with everyone watching--why?? UGH! This is a memorable Performance all right-one in which I'd love to forget.

my blog list
I have added several new blogs on 'my blog list'. There are some very cool photography blogs and cooking blogs-I especially love The Pioneer Woman. She does it all! I am adding a disclaimer about the blog 'matt, liz, and madeline'. Yes, there is swearing on Matt's blog and I am not fond of the swearing part, but I am a follower. Matt's is a tragic story where his wife had a difficult pregnancy, was 5 weeks on bed rest, than 27 hours following her C-section, she died of a PE (pulmonary embolism) from a clot that traveled from her legs to her lungs. Liz never got to hold little Madeline. This blog has 40,000 daily readers and is about the life of a single dad---this particular blog was featured in People Magazine.

The Heron is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy to report that Friday evening we received a call from the Howell Wildlife Rehabilitation Program saying that the Heron was ready to be returned. 35 minutes later, 2 volunteers were at our home with a very feisty Heron-- very different from the weak and subdued Heron that was deteriorating nearly 11 days earlier when Blaine captured him. What a beautiful sight when the cage was opened and the bird flew out, over the pond, and landed right where we usually see him. The vet had said earlier that they like to return adult birds to their natural home habitat. She said it was up to the bird to decide if he wanted to stay. Well, he must like home because I have seen him twice since Friday evening. We can not be more grateful to the Howell Wildlife Conference and Nature Center. It is heartwarming to know there are people out there who go to extraordinary lengths to take care of wildlife.

Quads: just the thought is scary!
One observation I have made since becoming a mother of multiples.....................I meet so many women who enviously say to me, "I've ALWAYS wanted to have twins!"
I belong to a mother of multiples club and not one of the women who've gotten pregnant after having twins/triplets/quads have EVER said about their current pregnancy, "Oh, I wish I were having twins!"
(And yes, I ALWAYS wanted twins too-still am pinching myself that I have all these beautiful little girls)

Great Windows Wood Blinds - When contemplating window treatments for your condo, you might want to make your first consideration be that of vertical blinds. These kinds of window treatments are the most popular of choice, especially for condominiums. Condominium homeowners associations generally like these great window treatments since they produce a uniform, clean look to the building from outside. Another reason why they're also popular with this sect is that they provide privacy and noise reduction to the owners of the unit. The condominium unit owners like them to better manage lighting when enhancing the decoration of the unit.
Because of this large window-type doorway, vertical blinds make the ideal choice. These blinds can be opened fully and pulled out of the solution to either both sides or to one side. When entertaining, like a cocktail party or dinner party, guests can flow freely in and out without the aggravation of different kinds of window treatments. The mechanism to operate these lies at one end of the vertical blind, thus making it effortless to reach and operate. During the day these vertical blinds and also be fully shut to block direct sun and heat from coming to the unit, or fully opened for greatest light, or anywhere in between.
For the other windows from the unit, vertical blinds are the exact same great choice. Like the large ones used for its huge glass sliding door, vertical window blinds offer you the same use and layout for the unit owner. The control of privacy, light, and style are all the same. Vertical blinds and vertical window blinds come in a variety of choices including thickness, and layout. They can be covered in cloth, faux finishes, or any other decorating features which you can dream up. When picking vertical blinds to make sure to search for quality construction. Nylon or Delrin will be the characteristics you want to search to get in and window blinds. This will ensure that your blinds will persist for quite a very long time.
Installation of vertical blinds is truly a " do it yourself" job. You'll have to decide if you want your window blinds to be outside mounted (so that they attach to the outside of the window box), or inside mount (going in the window box.) Gauge the interior of the window box to see how large of a vertical blind or vertical window you will need. Most any hardware shop or your local home improvement store will have a window treatment center with a distinctive vertical blind and vertical window blind segment. The blinds include a complete set of instructions on the best way best to install them quickly and easily.
Dirt and debris drop off them and so just a quick wipe with a damp cloth or using a vacuum cleaner with attachments make up-keep very straightforward. With this type of convenience and flexibility makes vertical blinds and vertical window blinds one of the best, inexpensive ways to make your condo a home for years of enjoyment.

A former Preston cotton mill has been snapped up by an expanding papercraft business.
Hunkydory Crafts Ltd, an award winning company specialising in the design, manufacture and retail of papercraft products for the international craft market, has bought a 24,638 sq ft industrial premises on the site of the former mill.
The industrial warehouse built 10 years ago on the site of the former Bute Mill, Essex Street, was sold via agent Robert Pinkus and Co.
Ann and David Newhouse formed Cardcraft Plus in 1990 from a small shop in Preston city centre and with Hunkydory Crafts established in 2008, have now grown to become a market leader in the papercrafting field.
The move to larger premises will accommodate the existing 70 workforce and Hunkydory Crafts will anticipate creating 20 new jobs for the area within the next 12 months.
Daniel Newhouse, managing director at Hunkydory Crafts, said: "The increased space we now benefit from at Essex Street will enable us to further invest in new machinery, training and resource which will help us to achieve our goals over the coming years.
"The unit that Robert Pinkus and Co sourced for us was in excellent condition and is ideal for our requirements, enabling us to further increase production volumes and satisfy our shopping television, wholesale and retail contracts.
"We have also taken the opportunity to build a 5,000 sq ft office suite, canteen and break-out area to create a better working environment for our talented team."
Danny Pinkus, partner at Robert Pinkus and Co said: "Hunkydory Crafts and their sister company Cardcraft Plus were rapidly outgrowing their current Preston base on Sedgwick Street and need new premises to cope with their successful online and mail order businesses."

We wanted to let you know about an exciting new addition to our venue – steaks made with a sous vide machine. For those of you who aren't aware of sous vide cooking, it makes the absolute perfect food each and every time. Your food is submerged in water in a vacuum sealed bag and the water is heated up with a sous vide machine. We obtained our sous vide equipment after reading the best sous vide machine reviews at SousVideWizard.com. We are able to make you the perfect sous vide cooked meals while you enjoy our entertainment.
You'll be able to find the new sous vide kitchen on the 2nd floor, near the rear concourse. Of course, we know that this isn't the traditional theatre food that you're used to. We're actually piloting a program, the first of its kind, to bring sous vide cooking into the mainstream through theatres and venues. We have 8 of the latest sous vide machines ready to pump out as many steaks and vegetables and chicken as our patrons can eat.
The food will be priced roughly at $20/meal, which isn't bad considering you're getting a sous vide cooked USDA steak.
We recommend that everyone reads up on what sous vide cooking is, because we're simply enamored by it. It's amazing how much quality food one simple sous vide machine can produce. We've cooked everything from chicken to fish to steak to eggs in ours. We're probably going to partner with several sous vide manufacturers to brand our own equipment, but that will come at a much later date.
The official launch of our sous vide kitchen is going to be in March 2018. We cannot wait to see how much you all love our sous vide cooking. We're hoping to be the first, and definitely not the last, theatre to adopt sous vide cooking!

Here are some other products you might consider...
Mature Audience
Suitable for mature audiences 16 years and over.
NOTE: Contains horror themes and medium level violence
Night of the Living Dead:
A true cult-classic - and one of the scariest movies of all time. Experience the bone-chilling terror in colour for the very first time as well as restored black & white.
"We can hardly imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke into the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it again, though there have been numerous pale imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that it is shot in such a raw and unadorned fashion that it feels like a home movie, and is all the more authentic because of that. It draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we hardly could have anticipated. The story is simple: Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk, and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kill one is by a shot or blow to the head. We follow a group holed up in a small farmhouse who are trying to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. The tension between the members of this unstable, makeshift community drives the film. Night of the Living Dead establishes savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humor, the film gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow. "--Jim Gay
Carnival of Souls:
Herk Harvey's 1962 classic cult horror movie was the percursor to such eerie films as The Shining and The Sixth Sense. Be terrified in colour for the very first time as well as restored black & white.

PRINEVILLE, Ore. — The 25th annual St. Charles Hospice Christmas Auction drew a record-breaking crowd of 670 guests and netted more than $108,000. Proceeds provide charity care to St. Charles Hospice and Transitions patients in Central Oregon.
Community members and local businesses and organizations donated elaborately decorated trees, beautiful quilts and many other items that were auctioned off at the 25th anniversary silver-themed event.
Coordinator Ann Fisher recalls that the auction was originally held at the old Ericksons Department Store on Third Street in Prineville. Now the event, hosted by St. Charles Foundation and sponsored by Robberson Ford, has become a beloved tradition in the community and fills the Crook County Fairgrounds indoor arena. A silent auction, live auction and raffle raise crucial funds for St. Charles Hospice.
"The generosity on display at this event is truly astounding," said Sharon Strohecker, director of St. Charles Hospice. "The number of dedicated volunteers — around 75 of them — that make this event possible is as impressive as the funds raised. It's all a testament to the depth of caring in this community."
The highest bid of the evening was $8,000 for a single quilt, "Into the Woods," donated by Juniper Canyon Quilting. The highest tree bid was $6,900 for "Silver Star Saloon" donated by Box R Water Analysis Lab, which came complete with a stocked bar and vintage saddle bar stools.
As in previous years, multiple items were bought and then donated back for resale, adding thousands to the amount raised.
"As a nonprofit, St. Charles depends on generous support from the community to provide care to those who would be otherwise unable to afford it," said Lisa Dobey, executive director of community and engagement at St. Charles. "We are so blessed to live in a community where this kind of superior patient care is available to all, regardless of a patient's ability to pay."
About St. Charles Foundation
As the philanthropic arm of St. Charles Health System, the Foundation works to support and improve health care in Central and Eastern Oregon. Private donations raised by the Foundation allow St. Charles to build new medical facilities, purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, keep pace with the latest technological advances and deliver exceptional patient care in a healing environment. The Foundation does more than just raise money for bricks and mortar. The organization also raises money to support many programs that benefit low-income and uninsured patients.

I have an attraction to places and items that seem forgotten.
I pay attention to old apartments, stained material, discarded furniture,
and objects of a past life. I use the neighborhoods I have lived in as a
backdrop to explore the interrelationship between community, home and
identity. By observing the shifts in the local landscape
and using artifacts, structures, and furniture, I aim to
explore how my physical environment cues both memories of
trauma and comfort.

not be difficult to
clip into place and slide up the frame.
Practice with these gives the children confidence to try to do things for themselves. Following through on the Montessori Philosophy, "Show me how to do it so that I can do it for myself."

Drivers are asking for answers after several railroad crossings were unexpectedly closed in Union County and other nearby areas.
CSX closed nearly every rail crossing in Indian Trail Monday, so drivers had to detour for miles. Some people said the alternate route took up to 45 minutes.
"Everyone was late to work because they had to get re-routed," Beth Jackson said. She owns Sunrise Fence on Wesley Chapel Stouts Road, next to one of the crossings that was closed.
More than a dozen rail crossings have been closed in the stretch from Charlotte to Union County, including:
- Hayes Road in Monroe
- Campus Ridge Road in Matthews
- Crestdale Road in Matthews
An early railroad crossing closure was a problem on Central Avenue in Charlotte last week, where Channel 9 cameras caught frustrated drivers driving around barricades to cross the tracks illegally.
[READ MORE: Motorists frustrated with railroad crossing barricades]
North Carolina Department of Transportation officials and town leaders said they were not notified of this week's closures in advance.
Channel 9 asked CSX officials why they didn't warn anyone of the closures beforehand, and they sent a statement that said, in part:
"Crews worked through the weekend after rain delays last week and are now ahead of schedule, which means some crossings closed ahead of schedule as well. CSX regrets any confusion this may have caused."
Officials said all of the road closures are expected to end by the end of the week.
CSX officials also said that Potter Road near Waxhaw Highway will be closed for repair from late evening Feb. 20 until Feb. 24 at noon. Officials said signage will be in place marking detour routes and each crossing will be closed for two to five days, depending on any unforeseen issues or weather.

High-frequency trading firms are among the most secretive in the modern market, worrying a competitor may poach their ideas and trading algorithms.
But from the " Flash Crash" to " Flash Boys," a series of events over the past several year has thrust these firms into the spotlight and revealed details of how they work.
Now one of the firms named in Michael Lewis's book, "Flash Boys," wants to set the record straight. Jason Carroll, a 37-year-old computer scientist, and four others founded Hudson River Trading LLC in Lower Manhattan in 2002. Carroll and Adam Nunes, the firm's head of business development, spoke at length with the Wall Street Journal about Hudson River Trading and its role in the marketplace.
Today the 100-person high-frequency trading outfit is undoubtedly a big trader. It trades stocks, options, futures, currencies and bonds around the world. In U.S. markets, it accounts for about 5% of all shares that change hands most days, according to the firm.
It wasn't always that way. The firm was launched in a single office in the New York Mercantile Exchange building with money cobbled together from savings and loans from family and friends.
The surprising thing about the firm is that even as it has grown it still doesn't fit many of the conceptions about high-frequency trading.
Nearly all descriptions of such firms say they close flat every day, meaning they sell all their holdings to reduce risk. Hudson River Trading holds a significant amount of its trading capital overnight -- about 25%, according to the firm.
Most descriptions say such firms primarily trade in and out of stocks in milliseconds. Hudson River Trading says their average holding time for a security is about five minutes.
The firm also does less than 1% of its trading in dark pools, the lightly regulated private trading venues under scrutiny from regulators, including New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Speed matters, but is not their primary concern, Carroll and Nunes said. And they are advocates of simpler markets with fewer order types and exchanges (as opposed to thriving on greater complexity).
"We [also] don't try to race ahead of an institution's order or sniff out whether someone is trying to place an order here or there," said Nunes, a former Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. executive.

The LIHTC program has also cutback on development of housing that serves families with children. These are the findings of a new report prepared for Ohio legal aid and fair housing programs by Abt Associates, a national consulting firm. People on low incomes continue to find it more difficult to find rental housing they can afford. The LIHTC program is designed to provide families access to safe and affordable housing. The LIHTC program helps non-profit and for-profit developers finance affordable rental housing through federal tax breaks, and it is administered in Ohio by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. * According to the report, over the last 10 years, only 3.80 of LIHTC family units in Ohio are in census areas with a poverty rate of less than 10%, and more than 450 of all family housing awards were in neighborContinued toP?geA3 J Ohio Black Caucus Applauds Cleveland Suit Against State For Local Hiring Ban Lawmakers say local hiring standards protected under Ohio constitution CLEVELAND, OH ? Democratic lawmakers and members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus today applauded The City of Cleveland's decision to sue the state to challenge Republican-led legislation that prevents local communities from setting hiring standards oil publicly financed projects - a possible violation of Ohio's "home rule" guarantee in the state constitution. "Our state's guiding document, in part, is meant to protect the freedom of local decision making in communities across Ohio," said OLBC President and state Rep. Alicia Reece (DCincinnati). "Local hiring standards have been an effective tool to push back against the high unemployment that plagues too many minority communities in out urban cores. For the state to take away tools thai increase broau-based economic opportunity and increase our skilled workforce is unconscionable, but 1 applaud Cleveland leaders for fighting back against what is effectively taxation without participation." In May, Reece and OLBC members delivered a letter to Governor Kasich requesting that he veto House Bill 180. In their letter, the lawmakers highlighted the adverse effect the local hiring ban would have on the Cleve land Opportunity Corridor project as well as the city of Akron's $1.4 billion sewer and water improvement plan, which had a local hiring target of 30 percent that would increase to 50 percent by 2018. "I want to thank Mayor Frank Jackson and other local community leaders for taking a stand against eliminating local hiring standards that have been used by our city tor years to increase minority participation, increase job training and keep local tax dollars in our community," said state Rep. Stephanie Howse (D-Cleveland). "As a state, we have to work in partnership with our local communities to find ways to increase access to economic opportunity. I hope that The City of Cleveland will be successful in fighting for the rights of all communitiesbig and small - to make decisions locally and independently that make the most sense for their residents." Previously, under the "home rule" guarantee of the Ohio Constitution Ohio, communities used local hiring quotas on publicly financed projects as a way to strengthen local workforce participation and, in turn, strengthen local economies. Urban areas typically have higher unemployment rates than the national average, making the decision to hire local even more impactful for improving the job market in urban areas with heavy minority populations. It is a sad day in our state when local communities are forced to sue the state to protect Ohio's guiding document-our state constitution," said state Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-Akron). "Local communities have used hiring standards without undo interference from the state for years as a way to increase minority workforce participation and education while ensuring accountability on taxpayerfunded projects. Local communities should be able to make the best decisions for their residents, with the freedom to ensure the local workforce can share in the prosperity their tax dollars help build." State Representative Alicia Reece Congressman Tim Ryan And Members Of The Ohio Delegation Push For Missile Defense System To Be Located At Camp Ravenna WASHINGTON, DC ?Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) and 16 Members of the Ohio Delegation are urging Vice Admiral James D. Syring, Director of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), to select Camp Ravenna joint Military Training Center as the preferred site for the East Coast Missile Defense System. Ryan represents Ohio's 13th Congressional District which includes Camp Ravenna. Signers of the letter included Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), Senator Shenod Brown (DOH), and Representatives Steve Stivers (R-OH), Dave Joyce (R-OH), Pat Tiberi (ROH), Bill Johnson (R-OH), Brad Wenstrup (ROH), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Jim Renacci (ROH), Marcia Fudge (D-OH), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Bob Gibbs (R-OH), Bob Latta (R-OH), and Steve Chabot (R-OH). "Ohioans stand ready to support the defense of our nation and look forward to this potential opportunity to strengthen the regional economy," the letter stated. Missile Defense Systems are used to intercept ballistic missiles headed for American soil. In 2013, Congress voted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act to require the MDA to conduct environmental impact studies to search for potential sites for an East Coast Missile Defense System. With growing threats to our national security, especially from Iran and North Korea, an East Coast Missile Defense System would be an important addition for our national defense. Camp Ravenna is located in Northeast Ohio, in close vicinity to the Akron and Youngstown transportation networks, making it easier to facilitate the flow of military and construction traffic this project would bring. Currently, there are two Missile Defense System locations in California and Alaska. Fort Drum in New York and the Fort Custer Training Center in Michigan are the other locations being considered on the East Coast. "It is estimated that the $3.6 billion project could help support 2,300jobs in the region during construction and directly employ up to 850 people fulltime once the system is operational," the letter stated. "This represents a significant investment in a region of our state that is continuing to recover economically." Summit DD Renames Barberton Center In Honor Of Russ Pry AKRON, OH ? Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board, or Summit DD, passed a resolution at the August 25th board meeting renaming its property located at 501 West Hopocan Avenue, Barberton, Ohio the "Russ Pry Barberton Center."

Send beautiful fresh flowers anywhere in Yekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg is the fourth-largest city in Russia that straddles the traditional political boundary between Europe and Asia. This city is also relatively new, as it was founded only in 1723. Its name is derived from the famous figure Catherine the Great and throughout its history, Yekaterinburg has been one of the most important industrial centres of the Ural region. This role has continued well into the present day. The processing of metals and machinery production both represent a substantial amount of the profit enjoyed by this city.
However, there has been a noticeable trend towards further development in the areas of banking, finance and technology. This can be seen in the modern skyscraper known as the Vysotsky Business Centre; currently the tallest buildings to be found outside of Moscow. In addition, other commercial districts are planned for the coming years. This has helped to further expand the regional economy and should all go as expected, Yekaterinburg may very well become one of the most important cities within all of Russia.
Thanks to an anticipated growth, the population of this city is burgeoning. Therefore, flower delivery to Yekaterinburg is a popular gift idea for residents and visitors alike. These heartfelt and visually appealing bouquets are as colourful as they are uplifting.

The freedom to create wonderful items of great beauty is why arts and crafts is such a beloved activity. You are sure to find something you like, whether it is fashion design, making a scrap book, or engraving. Check out the article below for some great information on this subject.
There are all sorts of things that you can use for your arts and crafts. You might even make use of paper goods that end up in your trash. From paper towel rolls to toilet paper rolls, there is a variety of items to make. Magazines and newspapers are other options. Try to think of ways you can incorporate items you would generally discard into your projects.
Many crafting projects create messes, so cover your surfaces with newspapers. Once the project is complete, remove the newspaper.
Are you trying to save money while buying crafting supplies? Check out a second hand store. Goodwill and similar stores often have things that crafty individuals can use. You have to check back often because thrift store stock is always on the move.
Don't be too overbearing when children are working on their crafts. The whole point of getting them involved is to let them express their creativity. If you're constantly correcting them, it will be harder for them to be more creative.
Stick to one project at a time. When doing arts and crafts, it is tempting to do all kinds of projects and to start all kinds of crafts. That said, you'll end up with a million unfinished projects. Take all the time you need to finish a project before moving on to the next one. This increases the odds that each project will be completed.
Keep in mind that arts and crafts with kids are going to be messy. If that sounds like a lot of work, just cover the surface with freezer paper or newspaper, to catch stray drips, drops, glitter, and glue. Markers and adhesives that are washable can also be considered.
When crafting with your kids, the end result doesn't have to be written in stone. You can either forgo the examples or show them different ones so that they just use their imaginations. For instance, they may draw a mouth where a nose ought to go. It's the idea of them expressing creativity and imagination more than it is about doing something according to a specific model.
You don't have to have an end game when working on crafts with kids. Let your kids run wild with their imaginations, either by not showing examples, or by showing a range of differing possibilities. To illustrate, they may come up with ways to paint or glue something that didn't occur to you. The whole point is for them to be creative.
To get that cloudy look out of your mosaic once the mortar has dried, spray some glass cleaner onto a rag and wipe the mosaic clean. This must be done before you finish the project so that your sealant doesn't dry cloudy as well.
Look online when you need new ideas for your arts and crafts. If you want to do a project, there are many sites on the Internet where you can find ideas. It doesn't matter what the age of the person is who is doing the project, because you will undoubtedly find something anyone can do if you are looking online.
Gather all your needed supplies. You don't really want to begin a project only to realize you don't have everything that is required to complete it. Write down what is needed in advance, check your stock and go get whatever you do not have before you begin.
You can find plenty of supplies for arts and crafts at Etsy. This site offers items for sale from individuals. Not only can you make purchases on this site, but you can sale items here, too. This site is ideal for finding vintage media for crafting.
If you're good at crafting, why not make the presents you give? This allows you to personalize presents throughout the year, handing them out at the holidays. Lots of folks would rather have something you made rather than something you bought from the store, which results in major savings.
Keep all supplies for arts and crafts projects well organized. There are many different ways you can store your supplies, but find a way that works for you. You'll find it easier to locate what you need when your supplies are well organized. You will always be aware of which supplies are already on hand.
Etsy is a great website for crafters. There are thousands of ideas available for crafts to buy, or you just peruse the site for ideas to put to work in your projects. Selling on Etsy is easy, too.
If you're looking for arts and crafts materials, give a hard look at your kitchen. It is full of gems waiting to be turned into fabulous arts and crafts. From jars to cans to aluminum foil, there's lots available. If you want to, you can also use dried beans or pasta.
Have fun exploring patterns with a Spirograph. They will be able to see the pens move about the patterns and discover the many different shapes and patterns that can be made.
An arts and crafts project is a terrific way to keep lots of kids, or even adults, entertained. It doesn't matter what the ages of your groups are, because there are crafts for all ages. Do an Internet search to find projects for the ages of the group you are entertaining.
If you find the supplies for your art and craft projects are expensive, think about buying wholesale. You will pay more for supplies if you shop at conventional retailers or boutiques. Wholesale helps you save money. You can share with your friends or resell what you have extra of.
Before you choose to work on a particular arts and crafts project, make sure you have everything you need for doing that project. You don't need to begin a project and find out that you do not have what is needed to finish it. Make yourself a list and check it twice before you start your project.
Be certain to spend sufficient time on the arts and crafts projects you decide to do. You should never try to rush yourself when working on projects. Making things that are of the best quality come about thanks to taking your time to do things right. Giving a project short shift is a recipe for failure. So, give it the time that it deserves, and the results will please you.
Use a spirograph to show kids how patterns work. This is a fun way to entertain kids while teaching them about physics.
Make your pet a craft for the next holiday. Use a glass or plastic bowl, apply paint pens or markers to draw on any designs you choose. This creates the perfect gift.
The tips included here will help you get a better handle on what exactly arts and crafts is. Continue your journey and get the most of your hobby. That will ensure you enjoy your pastime as much as you can.
Look for deals and coupons online. Any arts or crafts supply you could ever want or need is sold by someone online. While larger online stores might not have what you want, other specialty sites will. You may find that the prices are far better online than in conventional stores.

Three men, who allegedly took the keys to a 1993 Chevrole Corsica from the counter of the Eldersburg Inn and stole the car outside, were released Friday on $25,000 unsecured bond.
The car was stolen Thursday night at the bar, at Routes 32 and 26, state police said.
Troopers arrested the three shortly after 9 p.m., after the car ran into a ditch on the parking lot of a convenience store west of Eldersburg. Two men were arrested at the store. Police said the driver fled into nearby woods but was captured by troopers when he came out near Klee Mill Road. No one was injured in the accident, police said.
Apparently unknown to the three men, the Corsica had electronic components valued at $30,000 in the trunk, police said.
The driver, Louis Scott Stanton, 27, of the 300 block of Butler Road in Reisterstown was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving under the influence of alcohol, theft, conspiracy to commit theft, negligent driving and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, police said.
Jeffery Mitchell Buckholz, 28, of the 1600 block of Brimfield Circle in Eldersburg and David Brian Kelly, 18, of Baltimore were charged with theft and conspiracy to commit theft.

This was a really simple one. I used Ruby Pumps and Black Out for my accent. I freehanded a heart on my thumb (which was...interesting...on my right hand). I would say that I love this red, but I've learned that I am not allowed to fall in love with a red polish. It's been more than a year and my bottle of Color Club Ruby Slippers still won't open (I can't bring myself to toss it) and I opened my box of indies this weekend to find that Annalicious had been killed! I have no idea how, but the bottle broke right at the neck. The top was laying next to the rest of the dry bottle. I was going to buy a replacement this weekend with the promo, but just couldn't justify it. I was so bummed!
