Wash Your Face And Keep Acne Away
What does it take to keep acne away? For most people it is as simple as washing the face. Acne is caused by clogged pores and the overproduction of sebum, the natural oil found in the skin. Clogged pores result when dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells and other impurities remain on the face and seep into the oil glands.
Wash, Wash, Wash Away
Washing your face is something that you should already be doing every single day. But you may not be doing it right. Whether you're not washing your face or not doing it the right way, the information found here will change things. With this information you will know exactly what it takes to keep your pores unclogged and acne out of your life, all by simple washing your face!
First of all, wash your face twice each day. You should wash it in the morning after you get out of the bed, as well as again before you go to bed at night. Use a gentle foaming cleanser or soap for this. If you really want to reduce the chance of acne (or if you are currently experiencing a breakout) many of the facial cleaners out there are made specifically to treat acne. Do not scrub your face. Instead use gently, circular motions. Scrubbing your skin can cause further damage and irritation to the acne and that is not what you want to happen!
After you're done cleansing your face, take a soft towel and pat it dry. Next, take a moisturizer designed for your skin type and apply it to the face as well as the neck. You are now all set and have done your part in keeping the pores clear and free.
Hasta la' Vista, Acne
Acne is a common condition. It is something affecting millions of people of all ages, and one of the most frustrating of all of the skin conditions that exist. If you have acne there are a number of things that you can do to combat the condition, and if you do not there are many ways in which to keep it that way. One of the best ways is to keep a clean face. By cleaning your face twice per day you will be certain that your face is free of acne now and in the future. It is worth the short amount of time that it will take you each day.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare heart defect.
In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve to pick up fresh oxygen. Next, the blood returns to the left atrium, goes into the left ventricle, and goes out to the rest of the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
With TAPVC, the pulmonary veins that return oxygenated blood from the lungs connect to the right side of the heart, instead of the left atrium. This leads to the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. The body tissue does not receive as much oxygen as it is supposed to. TAPVC can be mild to severe. There can be a range of connection problems. Other heart problems may be present, as well.
TAPVC is a congenital defect. This means that the heart forms incorrectly when the baby is in the womb. It is not known exactly why the heart develops this way in some babies.
More research is needed to confirm causes and risk factors for TAPVC. Risk factors thought to be related to this condition include:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor may also detect an irregular heart rate during the exam.
These symptoms may be due to other conditions. If your child has any of these, talk to the doctor right away.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Surgery is needed to correct the defect. It can range from a simple repair to a complex repair. If blood flow is obstructed, the doctor will need to do emergency surgery. The goal of surgery is to reconnect the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
Your child will have regular exams from a heart specialist. Your child may also need antibiotics prior to medical or dental procedures. This is to prevent an infection in the heart.
Preventing fetal heart defects may not always be possible, but you can reduce your risk by:

Shisui Uchiha (うちはシスイ, Uchiha Shisui) was a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and was renowned as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui; English TV "Shisui the Teleporter").
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of the Uchiha clan.[2] At some point in the past, he fought with Ao of Kirigakure who retained an acute memory of Shisui's chakra colour, as well as the Uchiha's ability to control others with his Mangekyō Sharingan's ability.[3]
Shisui was best friends with Itachi Uchiha, who shortly after joining the ANBU began to act "oddly". Shisui was instructed by the Konoha Military Police Force to monitor Itachi because of this.[4] Soon afterwards Shisui was found drowned in the Naka River with a suicide note stating that he was tired of carrying out the clan's duties. The police suspected that Itachi had murdered him and used his Sharingan to fake the suicide note, since Shisui was very devoted to the clan, and suicide would have been highly unusual and uncharacteristic of him.[5] Itachi later told Sasuke Uchiha that he did in fact kill Shisui and forged the suicide note, all in order to awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan.[6]
However, Itachi would later reveal the truth behind the incident to his brother: Shisui was perplexed that the clan would not deter from the coup d'etat that they were planning and Shisui was greatly concerned with the consequences that would follow their actions. He told Itachi that he had tried to use Kotoamatsukami to stop them, but Danzō Shimura stole his right eye, adamant on protecting the village his own way. Fearing that Danzō would get his left eye as well, Shisui entrusted it to Itachi, telling him to protect both the village and the Uchiha name.[7] In order to prevent conflict from arising over his eyes within the clan, Shisui made it appear as though he had crushed them before dying.[8] He would later erase his existence, leaving no corpse behind.[8][9] It would appear that Shisui's corpse had in fact disappeared, as even Kabuto Yakushi noted that he was unable to locate it. Shisui was one of Kabuto's prime candidates to be reincarnated.[9]
Itachi was Shisui's best friend; in fact, Itachi thought of him as a brother.[10] Shisui taught Itachi that "self-sacrifice… a nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow…" was the true mark of a shinobi.[11] Shisui was also very devoted to the clan, which is why the Konoha Military Police Force asked him to spy on Itachi. It is because of this devotion that the police did not believe he could have committed suicide.[2]
Along with his clan, Shisui was greatly devoted to the protection of the village which he cared for deeply. He even went as far as to attempt to put his clan under a genjutsu in order to stop their coup d'etat which would lead to civil war.[12] With this in mind, he entrusted his left eye to Itachi and told him to protect the village.[13] According to Itachi, he and Naruto Uzumaki hold similar ideals and goals.[8]
Shisui had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that were turned upwards at each end. In the anime however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders.
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of his battle-excelling clan. He had earned the nickname of "Shisui of the Body Flicker", possibly implying that he had great mastery of the Body Flicker Technique.[2] He was also hailed as one of the most powerful genjutsu users of the clan.[11] Another testament to his prowess is that Kabuto Yakushi wanted to reincarnate him for the war but failed to find sufficient DNA samples.[9] He also displayed a high level of pain tolerance, as he didn't flinch from ripping out his own left eye to give to Itachi.[13]
Like many members of his clan, Shisui was a wielder of the Sharingan. Alongside his friend Itachi, he was praised for his mastery and sheer power in its use.[2]
Mangekyō Sharingan
Shisui was one of the few members in the clan's history that was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. It granted him access to powerful genjutsu techniques, the strongest of which was a unique genjutsu noted to be of the highest calibre: Kotoamatsukami.[11] This technique allowed him to enter a person's mind and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things on their own free will; the victim wouldn't even notice they were being manipulated.[14]
This ability was so unique and powerful, that Tobi wanted it for himself and was angry that Danzō managed to destroy the eye before he died.[15] Kabuto was also extremely thrilled when he learned that the remaining eye was within Itachi's crow.[16] This genjutsu however, could only be used once a decade,[17] unless the user had a way to augment the process such as with Hashirama Senju's cells, thereby drastically reducing the time required from ten years to only a few hours.[18][19] Shisui's eyes were also seen as something of a treasure even within his own clan, as before his death he had to ensure that it looked like he had destroyed them before he had died, fearing it would end in conflict otherwise.[8]
Throughout his lifetime and even in death, Shisui influenced Itachi greatly as a friend in teaching him self-sacrifice and how a true shinobi must protect his village from within its own shadow. This possibly influenced Itachi in his future actions to the staving off of a possible civil war within the village that may have escalated into a world war.[12] Even years after his demise, Shisui's powers and actions left their mark on the world. While Danzō used the eye he stole for his questionable agendas to maintain their village, Itachi keeps Shisui's other eye to honour his friend's final request to protect the village and their clan's good name.[13] Inserting the eye in the body of a crow, Itachi made final arrangements to implant the bird in Naruto's body as a counter measure against Sasuke if he learned the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's demise and attempted to destroy Konoha.
Both of Shisui's eyes were eventually destroyed: Danzō destroying his eye in his final moments to keep it from Obito Uchiha's grasp and a reincarnated Itachi, after it was accidently used on him, incinerating the crow so that the left eye would not fall into enemy hands. But Itachi also stated that above all else, Shisui wanted someone to inherit his will and ideals, believing Naruto to be that someone.[17]
- Shisui's name has two interpretable meanings. Combining the words Shi (死, Death) and Sui (水, Water), Shisui would mean "death water", which is a reference to his death by drowning. "Shisui" (止水) alone means "still water" or "stagnant water".
- (To Itachi) "…You're my best friend and the only one I can count on… Protect the village… and the Uchiha name."[13]

See how your state is doing here.
It's going to take more than a few rain showers to make up for the drought in these Plains states, however. According to Bloomberg, Mark Svoboda, the University of Nebraska-based climatologist, believes that an above-average rainfall is needed to replenish the soil, but producers can likely expect a deficit heading into planting season.
"We need a big spring, that's the bottom line, because we don't have the carryover going into 2013 we had going into 2012," Svoboda said.
In the central and eastern Corn Belt, however, an excess of rain and snow is causing headaches as well. As of Monday, the National Weather Service reported that several rivers were at or near flood-stage in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri.
According to The Weather Channel, the flooding risk marks an ironic end to a winter "spent fretting about drought." Just one month ago, officials were warning that barge traffic on the Mississippi River could be restricted as water levels continued to drop.
"It's certainly a lot different of a picture than three or four weeks ago," National Weather Service meteorologist Jayson Gosselin told The Weather Channel.

Urban Tavern's big, bold themes impress
The Urban Tavern opened in August, replacing the former Shackelford's space at 10498 Ridgefield Parkway in Short Pump. Because of local and longtime devotion to Shackleford's, Urban Tavern has some big shoes to fill.
Without any background information, I headed to the restaurant for dinner on a Wednesday night, two months after its opening.
On a perfect fall evening, four out of eight outdoor tables were taken, giving the impression that the restaurant was busier than it was. On the inside, a couple tables were taken, and a few folks were seated at the bar. > Read more.
A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

Comments about Patagonia Fiona Parka (Women's):
I bought this jacket for walking to work in the winter, and for everyday use. It keeps me very warm (tested in about 15 degrees with wind) while not overheating me. If I add layers underneath, it is very cozy. The jacket has a tailored, feminine fit that is stylish enough for going out around the city.
I am also tall, so the length is perfect for covering down to my thighs... and the arms are long enough (which is really hard for me to find!)

With summer approaching many home improvements are in the planning stages or have even been scheduled. Most of us are great at planning the project but often times how we are going to pay for the project is given little thought. How we finance the project though can have very important implications for our overall financial picture. And this planning will be extremely helpful in determining how big of a project we can really afford to tackle.

Whether it's your first home or your retirement home, there are ways to avoid having costly mistakes when it comes to getting your mortgage. The home buying experience is always much easier if you have developed a relationship with two very important people – your mortgage lender and your realtor. Establishing a relationship with your mortgage lender can help you sidestep many of the problems that home buyers sometimes unexpectedly experience in the process.

Ever wonder how or even what you should be teaching your teenager to help make them more financially prepared? The teenage years can be a difficult time to impart financial wisdom. They have little income and very little if any financial responsibility. If one is not careful, it is very easy to create bad financial habits during these formative years.

COREY NAKATANI, BLUE CHAGALL, Winner -"It feels real good to be back home. I've got my family and everybody back here now. Things are picking up and everything's great. They slowed it down pretty good and I was wanting to get him to turn off and switch off for me because I know what kind of turn of foot he has. I worked him many times for Julio (Canani) and I was very pleased with the way he ran. Julio just told me there's plenty of speed and to sit third or fourth and to make a run with him. And I said, 'Okay boss,' and that's what we did."
JULIO CANANI, BLUE CHAGALL, Winner: "You have to get along with this horse. He's been running with tougher horses and he has a lot of ability but sometimes he just doesn't feel like running. You just have to take him back and make one run. He worked in: 59 4/5 just galloping (Oct. 27), but he's done that before and didn't fire. He's very sound and I thought he had a chance with better horses the last two times, I just don't know."

Mozilla Evangelist Comments on Apple's Recent HTML5 Demos
Christopher Blizzard thinks Apple's new demos, "entirely miss the point of the web, interoperability, standards and html5."
This hasn't gone unnoticed by other supporters of open Web standards, namely Mozilla evangelist Christopher Blizzard.
On his personal blog, Blizzard posted a profanity-laced entry that called out Apple for making the implication that the open standards highlighted could only be experience on the Safari browser.
"A huge percentage of the world does have access to standards like HTML5. Today," said Blizzard.
Blizzard also points out that Firefox provides the best HTML5 support according to the compatibility website caniuse.com, which we confirmed, as long as future versions of the browsers are factored into the comparison. When the criteria is limited to the Present and Near Future options, which would include the browsers currently available, Chrome, Safari and Firefox all have the same HTML5 compatibility rating of 90 percent.
This is not to say that the information on caniuse.com is inaccurate. Statistics for the Future criteria are compiled from developer information, Webkit builds, experimental builds and platform previews.
That said, plans and features for future browsers are always subject to change, which means HTML5 compatibility for these future browsers, while informed, is still somewhat speculative.
Blizzard also commented on the nebulous terms in which people think of HTML5 and the confusion over who supports it and how long it has been supported.
"The most important aspect of HTML5 isn't the new stuff like video and canvas (which Safari and Firefox have both been shipping for years) it's actually thehonest-to-god promise of interoperability."
RE: It's not about Safari reaching other OS'sHere's a sentence I never thought I'd type: I agree with COCKFIGHT. It really isn't a matter of market saturation, it's a matter of HTML5 compatibility.
It's not about Safari reaching other OS'sIt's not about Safari. It's about HTML 5 as an open web standard. The keyword is standard. No browser maker can say they champion any standard if they pervert it.
RE: Mozilla Evangelist Comments on Apple's Recent HTML5 DemosGee. Really?! So, Microsoft brought out its Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on the PC AND the Mac platform simultaneously?
C'mon. When Microsoft holds 90-something percent of the world captive to their OS; and Apple has 8-something percent, do you REALLY believe that they should bust their humps to get the new Safari out to EVERYONE all at once?!

Basel III: bad fit for smaller banks
Robust ERM program needed to show you've got appropriate capital
- |
- Written by Nick Ketcha, FinPro
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
I spent many of my years as a regulator with FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. During that time, I was on the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision and was part of the Basel II deliberations. I regularly argued for a Basel leverage ratio. So one may think that I would be wholeheartedly embracing a rule that was designed as ". . . a comprehensive set of reform measures to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and risk management of the banking sector," as the Basel III rules have been described.
As a matter of fact, I still have the T-shirt that was given to me by my students in a BankSim class at Stonier in the 1980s, and it spells out FDIC in a new way: Forever Demanding Increased Capital.
I do understand the need for the development and implementation of Basel III as it relates to large, complex, internationally active financial institutions. But when I look at the regulatory requirements and burden as well as the resultant economic effects that the Basel III rules will have on community banks, I find myself at least partly in the camp of FDIC Vice-Chairman Thomas Hoenig, who has advocated scrapping Basel III and starting anew. (For purposes of this article, I define community banks as those with total assets under $10 billion.)
Let's take a look at what Basel III was envisioned to accomplish, and then discuss how community banks must adjust their practices to meet this new challenge.
What Basel III was designed to do
The Bank for International Settlements' website (www.bis.org) states that Basel III was formulated to improve the banking sector's ability to absorb the shocks arising from financial as well as economic stress, whatever the source; improve risk management and governance; and strengthen the banks' transparency and disclosures.
I doubt anyone would argue that these are not commendable objectives, or that a more complex, regimented set of rules was needed for super-large, internationally active banks. However, given the balance sheet and business operations of the vast majority of community banks, such complexity is not needed to accomplish those objectives.
New capital minimums
The final rule applies to all banking organizations currently subject to minimum capital requirements, including top-tier BHCs domiciled in the United States that are not subject to the Federal Reserve's small bank holding company policy statement (generally less than $500 million; but note that this exclusion does not apply to savings and loan holding companies). Also covered are top-tier SLHCs domiciled in the United States that do not engage substantially in insurance underwriting or commercial activities.
Banking organizations will be required to maintain the following minimum capital requirements:
• 4.5% Common equity Tier 1 capital/standardized risk-weighted assets (new).
• 6.0% Tier 1 capital/standardized risk-weighted assets.
• 8.0% total capital/standardized risk-weighted assets.
• 4.0% (Leverage ratio) Tier 1 capital/average total consolidated assets, minus the amounts deducted from Tier 1 capital.
• An additional 2.5% common equity capital conservation buffer.
The rule also includes a detailed schedule (see Exhibit 1, above) of transition arrangements, which call for most of the new minimum capital requirements to be phased in gradually over periods of up to six years. Instruments no longer qualifying as Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital under Basel III also began to be phased out beginning in 2013, but this will be over a ten-year period.
The banking organizations are generally expected to operate well above these minimum regulatory ratios—with capital commensurate with the level and nature of their risk profiles. The net effect of these changes is that by requiring the banks to hold more capital against their assets, it places limitations on the size of their balance sheets and also limits their abilities to invest with borrowed funding (i.e., it decreases their abilities to leverage).
Community banks have lots of capital
A study of call report data shows that capital ratios at the vast majority of community banks—both at the height of the last banking crisis and as of the third quarter of 2013—exceed the Basel III minimums. Thus, the new proposed complex rules and requirements of Basel III represent overkill as it applies to community banks. The case can certainly be made that the current capital rules, coupled with regular, full-scope examinations, can serve the regulatory agencies' safety and soundness concerns and the community banking sector's health very well.
Basel III's burdens and costs
The final rule is much better for community banks than the original proposal. For example:
• It allows a one-time election to not include most elements of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in regulatory capital. (My firm recommends that all community banks make this election.)
• It does not adopt the originally proposed treatment of residential mortgages, and instead keeps the historical risk weights: 50% for one to four family mortgages that are prudently underwritten and performing to original terms, and 100% for all others, including junior liens (unless the bank also holds the first lien and there are no intervening liens).
• It permanently grandfathers nonqualifying capital instruments in the Tier 1 capital of holding companies that have consolidated assets under $15 billion.
Nevertheless, even with the aforementioned final rule adjustments and without factoring in the new liquidity requirements that have not been addressed in this article, Basel III will still place heavy compliance and cost burdens on the nation's community banks.
A significant amount of new information and recordkeeping will be required to comply with the rule. I have been constantly advising our clients that in today's regulatory world, "If it ain't in writing, it didn't happen." In addition, computer systems for most banks will likely require some upgrading and/or enhancements. Models for stress testing and scenario analysis will have to be developed or acquired, and in the case of many community banks, outside expertise will need to be enlisted to assist the banks in complying with the rule's requirements. As a result, expenses will be increasing at the same time growth in earning assets will face new limitations due to the new capital requirements.
Preparing for Basel III
While the aforementioned discussion argues for the non-applicability of the Basel III capital rules for community banks, the die is cast on this issue, and community banks will not be exempted from the rules. What should community banks be doing to ensure they avoid regulatory issues as the new rules come into play?
Most important, they need to recognize that regulatory capital will come to be viewed through three lenses: risk profile, capital adequacy plus buffers, and prompt corrective action standards.
In assessing the level of capital that is required above the capital minimums, regulatory review of capital plan adequacy will be focused in the following areas:
• There will be an evaluation of risk identification, risk measurement, and risk management.
• There will be an assessment of stressed loss and revenue estimation.
• There will be a review of governance and controls around these practices.
As such, banks must ensure that they have an effective enterprise risk management (ERM) program. Under Basel III, ERM will play a key role in assessing overall capital adequacy. This is because risk-based capital rules are minimum standards, generally based on broad credit-risk considerations.
Secondly, risk-based capital rules do not explicitly account for the quality of individual asset portfolios or the range of other types of risks, such as interest rate, liquidity, market, or operational.
Also, a banking organization is generally expected to have internal processes for assessing capital adequacy that reflect a full understanding of its risks, and to ensure that it holds capital corresponding to those risks to maintain overall capital adequacy.
And finally, examiners will assess capital adequacy by determining whether a banking organization plans appropriately to maintain an adequate level of capital given its activities and risk profile, as well as risks and other factors, such as level and severity of problem assets; exposure to operational and interest rate risk; significant asset concentrations; new activities; new products; and more.
By having a robust internal capital planning process, community banks can demonstrate that they have the ability and processes to:
• Assess whether or not the capital level is sufficient to withstand potential economic stress.
• Ensure that the assessment will continue to hold in the future.
• Ensure that sufficient capital will exist in a broad range of future macroeconomic and financial market environments by addressing the capital aspects of dividend payments, share repurchases, and share issuance and conversion.
In summary, all the banks will need an effective capital adequacy process. To be fully effective, the process should be built using the following seven principles:
1. Sound risk management fundamentals.
2. Effective loss-estimation methodologies.
3. Solid resource-estimation methodologies.
4. Sufficient capital adequacy impact assessment.
5. Comprehensive capital policy and capital planning.
6. Robust internal controls.
7. Effective governance.

Jockey Quotes
GARRETT GOMEZ, CHARM THE MAKER, Winner: "She's doing things the right way. I was hoping she'd kick on a little better than she did today. But the pace wasn't very fast and they finished up pretty well. She never really folded on me, she kept doing just enough. I was happy with the way she kept responding to what I was asking her to do. In the middle of the turn, it kind of bothered me that I was having a little problem picking them up, but I kind of gave her time. She's a long-striding thing and I knew her stride would kick in sooner or later. She kept staying on and staying on and she finished up well."
JOE TALAMO, KILLER GRACES, Second: "We had a perfect trip. The best filly just beat us today. She was pressed the whole way, but we went so slow. But she ran her race. She loves this track. She won those two races here last summer and she just gets over it so well. It was a good race for her."
Trainer Quotes
RON MCANALLY, CHARM THE MAKER, Winner: "We thought she was a good filly when we bought her back. We bred her and bought her back for $400,000 at the Keeneland sale. We also bought back the filly (Special Charm, who finished third in the sixth) that ran in the previous race. I thought there would be a faster pace. That's why the rider had to get after her more than he thought he would. We'll savor this one, but the (Grade I, $250,000 guaranteed Hollywood) Starlet (Dec. 10) is the most logical place to run next. We're looking forward to running her on turf. Her dam (Charm the Giant) won the (2007) Wilshire on the turf here.''
Notes: The win was the first in a stakes at the Autumn meet since Charm the Giant won the Intercontinental Handicap Nov. 28, 2007…The Hall of Fame trainer's most recent stakes win at Hollywood Park was with Sugarinthemorning in the Manhattan Beach June 18….Gomez is the first jockey to win the Sharp Cat twice. His earlier victory came in 2006 with Runway Rosie.

La Maison du Chocolat has some very nice nuts lined up in a row in their Fall windows. I would happily squirrel these away.
A pretty Fall still life in an antique shop window in the Marais.
Lovely taste of Autumnal Paris..
YES you are un écureuil too ... in your own way...
You keep collecting and saving "photo food" for your winter time in NYC !
You won't see any red sqirrels in the Métro, in the RER nor in any CR shop !
You need a garden or a park !
OR Fouquet's castle in Vaux le Vicomte...
the squirrel was Fouquet's emblem as his name (Fouquet)means "écureuil" in an old language of South West France (where his family was from).
Ready for more picture collecting?
What a pretty post! Crowning autumn in such a glorious way. Lovely eye for detail you have Miss Carol. I can feel the leaves dancing at my feet.ReplyDelete
Missed you....glad to be back and can`t wait to catch up with all the posts and lovely stuff
What a happy post to roll in Autumn.
Every thing makes me happy. Thank you.
Have a delicious day Carol!
Hope you got my last message. I just got a google account, so it went in differently. I see a little trash can by my comment?
In case you didn't. This was an Autumn Delight. Thank You!
Thanks for the wonderful way you share Paris with all of us.
....not seen a squirrel yet? Have you tried tempting them with macaroons?
What a lovely nod to the season. It makes me wonder what is is the flower market there? The place in the park...one could squirrel away some beautiful moments there. Fabulous. Love the cocoa bean filled with fall treats.ReplyDelete
Beautiful there. Loved seeing the still lifes. Wish I could have seen more of the one with the car reflected in it.
Loved pausing in the park and looking at the fountain. Felt like I was there.
Today we have a cool spell moving through VA, so your post is very appropos, Carol. Lots of fall colors always make me excited for brisk weather coming our way. (not too cold, but brisk I like...;) As for your grasshopper/squirrels, you're reading too much Aesop. Just be you! That's who you are.
Love that first antique shop still life. Beautiful!
I love how you weave squirrels, fall colors, leaves, nuts, marzipan, mushrooms, children and wardrobes into a darling post.ReplyDelete
Cocoa powder-covered almonds. Cocoa powder-covered almonds. Cocoa powder-covered almonds.
How could you! I can smell them! I know the fragrance they emanate when I open that little foil packages with the goodies. I smell them. The shops are open another 40 minutes. Mad dash?
Oh, how could you! Open with that cute little squirrel (a RED one, not those grey treerats from the East-Coast who are endangering the European Squirrel in Great Britain, they are at the brink of extinction!). And then, all of a sudden, jump those cocoa powder-covered almonds on me. Cocoa powder-covered almonds! Are you going to paint them, too? May I ask for an advance notice when this day will come?
Ok, I am serious now. Forget about those cocoa powder-covered almonds! Who wants'em almonds? Natch. This is such an uplifting post (this I really really mean!), I am having so much fun looking at all those store windows. Drooling, really. Oh my goodness, cocoa powder-covered almonds. Oopsiedaisy, I slipped. Sorry.
Anyway, I see you are happily emerging yourself in French cocoa powder-covered almonds ... oops ... brake ... sorry!
Have fun, squirrel away as much as you can, we may need your sweet morsels (yesh! I did NOT write cocoa powder-covered almonds!) when winter rolls around.
Stay well! :-)
loved your blog about making the macaroons! What fun! I would be in a whole lot of trouble with the class being in French, though. My brain would probably explode. I'd love to take all the macaroons home, though.
Thanks, too, for the contraband photos in the museum the other day...lovely!
As for squirrels; I saw one today in SW Florida going up a palm tree...I wonder if they eat the palm fruit?
Wish I were there.
My dog is very excited about squirrels - he is an expert squirrel-chaser (I'm still waiting for him to catch one! They are such pests in the back yard). Autumn there looks lovely - the marzipan autumnal treats! Too fun.ReplyDelete
Imagine, there I was yesterday at Xocolat's and what did they give me a sample of? Cocoa powder-covered almonds!
True! :-)
I bought candid ginger hand-dipped in the most delicious dark Hanauer Viennese chocolate.
All gone now. :-(
Do they sell chocolate covered chestnut hearts in Paris too or is this a Viennese specialty? Here they must have had a big crop, they are everywhere for sale now.
Ooo la la! Les chocolate covered almonds - c'est marvellous! That Swiss bakery in town has some - but before the chocolate coating goes on, a the almonds are dipped into a thin coating of carmelized sugar (hard crack stage) so thin that it just adds a hint of sweet crunch to the experience!
You are squirrelling away a lot of subject matter! Thank heaven, we will be able to count on your stash this winter.

Mathias Frank of the BMC Racing Team first escaped serious injury in a crash, then later bombed the descent off the final climb with a small group on rain-slickened roads to take the overall lead Monday after Stage 3 at the Tour de Suisse.
Leads By 23 Seconds
Frank finished fourth in a four-up sprint that was won by Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling). But previous race leader Cameron Meyer (Orica-GreenEDGE) could not keep pace on the final climb and Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp), who had been second overall, crashed out of the race with about 50 kilometers to go in the 204.9-km race. Frank said familiarity with the downhill run-in to the finish helped, but assistance from teammates going up the climb was even more valuable. "The whole team did a great job placing Tejay van Garderen and me at the bottom," he said. "Then Tejay set the perfect pace. I was talking to him and he said he would set a good, hard tempo. It was just perfect how we did it. Tejay is riding really strongly. To have a guy like him as a teammate is all you can ask for." Frank now leads Roman Kreuziger (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) by 23 seconds and Rui Costa (Movistar) by 35 seconds with six stages to go. Both were part of the four-man move that finished 39 seconds ahead of a shattered peloton. Van Garderen is 10th overall, 1:39 behind.
Whole Team Made It Happen
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said having world road champion Philippe Gilbert in an 18-man breakaway allowed the team's remaining riders to stay quiet around Frank and van Garderen until the right moment. "At the briefing this morning, we decided to go for it after the first passage through the finish line," he said. "There was a fourth category climb with a critical downhill so we wanted to be in the front before the last climb. That was a great job by the whole team to make it happen." Frank said four previous Tours de Suisse have taught him not to underestimate the importance of every stage. "One moment of not being attentive can be fatal for you," he said. "But I have a great team around me and I'm really confident in the job they can do and that they can keep me out of trouble." Lelangue said the BMC Racing Team will take a one-day-at-a-time approach to defending the lead. "Every day will be difficult," he said. "We know there will be some easy days. But in a stage race, you have to be concentrating every day. The good thing is, we have a good team around Mathias and around Tejay for supporting the yellow jersey. We have seen they are all riding on a high level."
