A consortium of some of the world's richest families is plotting a bid for British Land, the FTSE 100 property company that is one of the UK's biggest landlords.
British Land Co
The group, which is thought to include Lakshmi Mittal – the Indian steel magnate who ranks as Britain's richest man – and the Abu Dhabi ruling family, has approached bankers from Credit Suisse to prepare a possible bid that could be worth as much as £10bn including debt.
Insiders said that investors from Abu Dhabi and a group of Indian families had initially been interested in buying Broadgate Circle, British Land's flagship development in the City. But in recent days the consortium has spoken with bankers about the possibility of bidding for the whole company.
The Indian faction is thought to include at least two other Indian families as well as Mr Mittal. Credit Suisse is considering providing the financing for any bid.
Sources close to the situation warned that the plans were at an early stage and that the consortium has not approached British Land and may decide not to do so. It could also look at other targets.
A successful bid would be another in a string of British investments by Abu Dhabi. In October the Gulf state teamed up with neighbouring Qatar to pump £5.3bn into Barclays. Last month it emerged that an investment company owned by the Abu Dhabi government and chaired by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan had bought a 32pc stake in Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. Sheikh Mansour also owns Manchester City football club. Mr Mittal is best known as the chairman of the world's biggest steel company ArcelorMittal, but he also made a famous foray into property when he paid a reputed £70m for a house in London's Kensington Palace Gardens in 2004.
British Land, which reports first-quarter results next week, already has the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation as its largest shareholder, with a 4.9pc stake.
On Thursday, shares in the company, which reports first-quarter results next week, closed at 493.1p, up 2.5pc, giving the company a market value of £4.1bn. The shares have risen 32pc over the last month .
Last month, British Land angered investors when it awarded its board a pay increase of 11pc, excluding the chief executive, despite the value of the company's portfolio plummeting by over 28pc and the share price more than halving over the financial year. The company, which made a £3.9bn loss in 2008-09, insists directors met their targets and that total shareholder returns were ahead of rivals.
The takeover interest from foreign investors will be taken as an early sign of recovery in the commercial property sector. Property companies have been hit hard by the credit crunch.
Chris Grigg, who took over as chief executive of British Land in January when Stephen Hester left to become boss of Royal Bank of Scotland, has made a commitment to reduce the company's debts. He has already cut the firm's net debts from more than £5bn to £3.24bn. This has been achieved through a £740m rights issue in March and big asset sales. British Land sold a 50pc stake in the
Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield for £587.7m to London & Stamford Property.
In a more radical move, British Land has in recent months looked to sell Broadgate which is valued at £2.3bn and whose tenants include UBS.
Two months ago Property and Building, which is controlled by Nochi Dankner, an Israeli billionaire, said it was in the initial stages of buying a stake in Broadgate for £100m. Delancey, the property management firm led by Sir John Ritblat, British Land's former chief executive, was also reported to have been interested.


text: This is a rather simple question, with what I think is a simple answer. I have BootMii installed, and a NAND backup. I copied the files from my SD and deleted them, so BootMii doesn't start on startup. Let's say I brick my Wii... Can I put the files back on my SD, and BootMii will load on power-up so I can restore NAND ? Or do I always have to have them on there, and BootMii start up everytime, for me to be able to restore my NAND if I brick? Thanks.

Gemma's had a bit of a wash-and-blow-dry:
We liked Gemma's strong branding, and the brown/orange colour theme we used during internal development (a taste of which is on the "coming soon" page) was certainly striking. But perhaps we have a few too many animals at CASA – there's Rodger the giraffe for SurveyMapper, the goldfish in Tales of Things, and the woolly mammoth in QRator. So Gemma the gerbil has a lower profile now – you'll still see her when you first visit the website, and get a pop-up welcoming you to the site. The bar at the top is now aquamarine blue, with orange highlighting – this blends with the look and feel of the JQueryUI-powered dialog boxes on the website, and is similar to the look of CASA's well-designed and inviting SurveyMapper website – the clouds are from there too.
In terms of the core development, the last few features are being polished and the code and design is being tided up, ready for the feature-freeze at the end of the month. We are moving into the bug-squashing and foolproof-testing stage – not so glamorous as the blue-sky coding but just as important for a finished product. We hope to have a public beta available soon.

Honeydew sounds delightful, doesn't it? To some, its sugary sweetness is like manna from heaven. To a gardener, honeydew sets the stage for countless fungal diseases and pest infestations. Honeydew is aphid poop.
What is honeydew?
When aphids feed, they do so by sucking sap from plants. Sap has a lot of sugar in it and the sap within a plant is under pressure. When an aphid pushes its sharp mouthparts into a plant, the sap is actually pushed into the insect! The pressure is so intense (from an aphid's point of view) that the sap is often pushed all the way through the insect's body and falls onto the plant. This is honeydew. Eugenia psyllid, whiteflies, treehoppers, leafhoppers, mealy bugs, and some scale insects also produce honeydew. If you notice a trail of ants leading to a soft scale or armored scale infestation, it's all about the honeydew.
Honeydew as food
Ants love honeydew. They love honeydew so much that they actually farm aphids! Ants herd sap-sucking insects to keep them close to ant nurseries, They will protect aphids from ladybugs, lacewings, and other beneficial predators. Ants even milk sap-suckers for their high energy poop by stroking their bellies! Some bees and wasps collect honeydew and use it to make a strong, dark honey called honeydew honey.
Ant control
This would all be fine except that many of the insects who create honeydew are also vectors for diseases, such as huanglongbing, or citrus greening. As ants feed on the honeydew, they also spread disease. Any honeydew that is left on plant surfaces uneaten provides the perfect habitat for fungal diseases, such as sooty mold. Since ants are the problem in this cycle, using sticky barriers to block their way is the easiest solution.

A service of the ABA General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division
Practice Area Newsletter
Summer 2008
Vol. 4, No. 4
By Gini Nelson
I've been a practicing attorney for 25 years, but I was a sociologist before I was a lawyer—I have a BA and an MA in sociology and taught undergraduate social problems courses in graduate school before going to law school. I continue to love what a character on Law and Order: Criminal Intent (one of my favorite television shows) called Detective Bobby Goren's "predilection for detecting obscure patterns."
Patterns are tools. Tools are great when they are used well and effectively—think "coffee," which I embraced as my vice of choice when I started law school, or what you really like about the Internet. They are not so great when they are used badly and ineffectively, if not destructively—think "illegal and offensive profiling," or what you really dislike about the Internet.
I like and use Carl Jung's principles of psychological type as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ®. The MBTI ® is probably the most widely used assessment instrument of its kind (millions are administered annually in the United States, and more in other countries). It's also the only general psychological test of personality that has ever been administered to a large number of practicing attorneys. I'm a qualified administrator of it and use Jung's type principles in my own practice, business, and personal life almost daily. With familiarity with its principles, attorneys can help clients get through misunderstandings based on type differences; identify blind spots in the problem solving process based on type; and use type similarities to bridge cultural and gender differences in negotiation and advocacy. Indeed, with knowledge of her own type, an attorney can better identify the kind of law practice she wants, and better pinpoint her own weaknesses and strengths in running a law office.
Scientists say that about 50 percent of our temperament is inherited, and that the rest of it is shaped by our upbringing and environment (including gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and birth orders). Carl Jung's psychological type theory posits inherited preferences that can affect how we negotiate, mediate, or engage in any other form of conflict engagement. Type is like individual style—the various ways we choose to learn, lead, carry on friendships, manage work, and experience conflict—and it is also our deep and enduring "mental habits." Type gives clues about your own and others' general strengths, productive places, and pursuits, clues that you and they are being overwhelmed, common sources of stress, and suggestions for dealing with stress and conflict. Knowledge of type can help us learn to control impulses, show empathy, and persist in the face of obstacles with resilience and flexibility. This enhances leadership ability, enriches relationships, and extends influence.
Use of this psychological type analysis has been studied in the law practice field. The most notable law-related works are University of Florida Law Professor Don Peters's article, Forever Jung: Psychological Type Theory, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and Learning Negotiation, 42 Drake Law Review 1 (1993); and Florida Coastal School of Law Professor Susan Swaim Daicoff's book, Lawyer, Know Thyself: A Psychological Analysis of Personality Strengths and Weaknesses, American Psychological Association (2004).
Don Peters's study documented differences in law students' choices in negotiation strategic orientations (between adversarial and problem solving) and styles (between competitive and cooperative) based on their MBTI ® psychological type. He concluded that type theory can substantially help negotiators better understand their behavioral inclinations, and further, that these understandings facilitate learning negotiation theory and skill by helping students see when their behavioral tendencies are effective and ineffective within the strategy-style matrix. Finally, he concluded that type theory insights can also help negotiators understand other's actions and appreciate different behaviors by enhancing their abilities to identify, value, and communicate about them more effectively.
Susan Daicoff, after examining 40 years worth of empirical data on the personality of the typical lawyer and law student, concluded that there is indeed a typical lawyer personality and that this personality explains in part both the success of lawyers within the profession and the complaints and jokes about lawyers. She doesn't mean MBTI ® type (her conclusions are beyond the scope of this article—among other things, she concludes that fully 20 percent of attorneys are "walking wounded," meaning working, functioning, and representing clients while being psychologically impaired enough that intervention is indicated), but she also looks closely at attorneys and MBTI ® type characteristics.
Statistically, lawyers' type is significantly different from most other adults in the United States. Lawyers are slightly more likely to be introverts than extroverts. Attorneys tend to be intuitives (57%), while seventy-five percent (75%) of the U.S. population is born with a sensing preference.
Lawyers overwhelmingly prefer thinking to feeling (again, as the terms are used in type theory). Here it's critical to note the difference between "feeling" and "emotions" (ala neuroscience definitions and finding—every person has "emotions," and type "feeling" refers to preferences in dealing with impacts of actions on individuals), and to look at the male/female statistical variations.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. males have a thinking preference, compared to eighty-one percent (81%) of U.S. male attorneys. The difference is even more striking for females: twenty-five percent (25%) of U.S. females have a thinking preference, compared to sixty-six percent (66%) of U.S. female attorneys.
Finally, lawyers are more likely to prefer judging to perceiving, again as those terms are used in psychological type theory.
These differences from the general population may well help the lawyer do the daily work of law, but the differences may create a gap in understanding between lawyers and nonlawyers, be they clients, staff, or spouses. These differences in part explain why people perceive lawyers as different and why they are critical of attorneys. (Note: corporate clients may be an exception. Top corporate executives are surprisingly similar to lawyers in type.)
It is important to note that people are very complex and varied. People do not fit neatly in one category or another; they range in their responses; and type characteristics can overlap. Superficial understandings and inept uses of any type theory are forms of stereotyping.
And I'm not saying the MBTI is the right tool for everyone, or that everyone who uses it uses it well or correctly. Remember, I was a sociologist before I was a lawyer. My working assumptions in looking for patterns and explanations for human behavior include:

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Vinton District Curriculum
Students in Roanoke County Public Schools begin learning the language arts skill of writing in kindergarten when they learn the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. They also begin to learn how letters can join together to make words. By the time they are in second grade they are able to spend one hour every day learning about more aspects of writing in workshops. This foundation continues to be built upon as the students progress through middle school and high school. Students then can choose to take writing courses throughout their time in high school, including classes in journalism.
Mathematics is taught by helping children learn numeration and number sense. After this they begin to join numbers together to solve an equation. This knowledge is added on as they learn subtraction, multiplication, division and the different topics with mathematics. In high school they can choose to take a statistics class that will show them how to use these numbers to collect, analyze, and draw conclusions.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents

SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Should Graduates Take a Gap Year?
Students oftentimes feel like they would like to take a gap year, or a year off, after graduating high school. This can be a confusing decision which can be made clearer with a few ideas. Many universities encourage students to take a year off before coming to university. This does not mean that the student will not ever go to college, they just need a break. University officials believe that a gap year can help with the young adults' focus and readiness for academia. There is also a better chance that these students will complete their education, which is the goal of schools, parents and students. Before the student decides to take the year off, parents and students need to reach an agreement of what is expected in this year so both are clear on expectations. This can be a time of helping in the community, working or traveling, as long as the expectations are clear on when they should apply and how they should prepare for their further education.

Santa Barbara, CA – (StockNewsDesk) – 01/16/2015 — The daily commuting world has found an affordable folding electric bike named Cheetah. This bike costs under $400 AUD and it is readily available to get delivered to any corner of the world. There is no doubt that an electric bike is a fantastic commuter vehicle for easy transportation. It is not only effective but fun as well. The Cheetah is the all new variant in this particular segment to make this mode of transportation more effective and powerful. It is economical and environmentally friendly, as well.
The electric bike has become very popular since it appeared in the market. But there was a problem that appeared that kept it from reaching the optimum heights of popularity. The problem was price. Electric bikes are very expensive and not everyone cannot afford one, so Cheetah has appeared at very reasonable cost that can take this tech to another height. Even though the price has dropped, it does not mean you have to compromise on quality and features. The Cheetah comes with similar tech specs and features that a regular electric bike has. The new design and production technique have done the trick to reduce extra expenses. Hence, it has given birth to a new era and new promises.
The maker has declared that it is the future of regular transportation and they think Cheetah is a great step against the pollution and energy crisis. The Kickstarter campaign has taken the initiative to reach the masses with this amazing product while the shipping procedure has already been arranged to deliver Cheetah anywhere in the world. The first production schedule will be delivered in February 2015. Before Cheetah hits the retail market, it will be available at a surprising price on Kickstarter.
The Cheetah is 28 kg in weight. It will reach speeds up to 20 kilometer per hour with pedal assist while you can cover a range of 45 kilometer easily every day. This electric bike uses a 12Ah 24V rechargeable battery. The battery is also removable and lockable for safety. It has 16 inch wheels and mid mount suspension. The extra added accessories are front and rear mudguards. Cheetah will come with a smart charger, as well. The charger will be customized according the country destination. It also features an electronic horn.
The best part about the Cheetah is the design. The assembly part of the electric bike is usually the most difficult and expensive. The design of Cheetah has been developed on a straight line process, so it has become easy to assemble and cost effective. It promises to bring some massive change in the industry.

Planning a Hawaii Beach Wedding
You've been a couple for a while now, and it's time to take the next step. The proposal has gone off without a hitch and you're finally getting married. But before saying your "I dos", there's this not-so-little thing called the wedding that you need to prepare for. How do you proceed? It might take a lot of research, planning, and preparations – but you'll eventually get there. This applies especially if you want to get hitched in the tropical island of Hawaii.
First Things First: Where & When for your wedding in Hawaii
Hawaii is the home to world-class beaches but not all tourists know that the islands still have so many unspoiled natural wonders waiting to be discovered. There is actually a long list of sparkling waterfalls, mostly hidden in the center of Hawaii's lush rainforest. Here are some of Hawaii's prized waterfalls:
Akaka Falls
This is arguably the Big Island's best waterfall. Standing 420 feet high, the water continuously falls through it all year long. Having equal beauty to those of breathtaking hard-to-find waterfalls, travelers this time would not endure getting to Akaka Falls since it is readily accessible. Visitors should include this on the top of their list.
Waimoku Falls
This remarkable 400-feet waterfall is at the end of the Pipiwai Trail in Maui. It is actually in the well-preserved area of Haleakala National Park. Tourists could catch a glimpse of this stunning waterfall any day since its water cascades all throughout the year. Travelers could even get to Waimoku's base and enjoy its soothing waters.
Papalaua Falls
This is one of Hawaii's tallest waterfalls, which could be found on the north shore of Molokai. With its amazing height of 1,200 feet, tourists would surely be thrilled to gaze at this spectacular sight. It is also sometimes confused with Kahiwa Falls because of misleading information.
Wailua Falls
This short waterfall, which stands only 80 feet high, is still one of Hawaii's most picturesque places to visit. It is situated in the island of Kauai. Although it is short, its natural beauty overflows. Guests would be fascinated to see two separate waterfalls in one location. Tourists could easily get to Wailua Falls because it could be accessed without any difficulties. Taking a tour of these waterfalls would surely be worth the trip.
Umauma Falls
Located on the Big Island, this multi-layered waterfall is actually the centerpiece of the famous World Tropical Botanical Garden. Travelers would feel even closer to nature with unusual selection of colorful flowers that surrounds the waterfall. There is also a series of minute waterfalls that would make the experience more unforgettable.
Rainbow Falls
This 80-feet waterfall is another place that could effortlessly be visited by tourists. Found also on the Big Island, it is surrounded mainly by wonderful tropical flowers. Travelers could take a trip to Rainbow Falls anytime since it has a reliable source of water that would not dry out. The waters of the Rainbow Falls come from Wailuku River, Hawaii's longest river.
Moaula Falls
Located in the renowned Halawa Valley of Molokai, it is easier to get here in comparison to other waterfalls in the area. This is an ideal location for swimming, learning about Hawaii's culture, and enjoying the beautiful ambiance it provides. This 250-feet waterfall could also be seen through a helicopter ride.
Pools of Oheo
Also located in Haleakala National Park, these pools were part of the main reasons the conservation and protection of natural resources started and are still continued today. Most travelers would endure the long drive to get here since it is a significant place to stop by. Tourists could swim all day long or bask in the sun in this remarkable waterfall.
Hanakapiai Falls
Tourists could come to this towering waterfall by hiking in the Hanakapiai Valley. They would be surrounded by flourishing jungles and magnificent cliffs with an added view of the spectacular beaches of the islands. Surely, a visit to this marvelous waterfall would make anyone's vacation complete.
The list of amazing waterfalls in Hawaii does not end here. There are still numerous scenic spots for tourists to explore. Discovering these hidden wonders would add to the growing number of reasons for travelers to return to the incredible Hawaiian Islands.

Dance instruction
At times, people mistake jiggling and moving their hands, arms and waist for dance! But this isn't just what one might think dancing is! For the people out there who are really fond of dancing and want to tie up their shoes and prove their point here are something's that have to be kept in mind. Dancing is sheer joy for most of the people and for some it is a passion. But for those who have adequate joy but lack in the skill opting for dance instructions would not be wrong. Instructions help in doing the right and the deserving justice to any dance form. Experts always advise the people to start from the formal dance instruction and gradually increase the intensity. While selecting the type of instruction it should be kept in mind that it should be complimenting the personality and should also be coming along the allotted budget. Finally what counts is the vibrancy and elegance which remains as the ultimate output of any well followed dance instruction.
Things to be taken care of:
The determination of the end goal is of foremost importance. There should be goals set for both you and your instructor. It would be really very tuff to attain proper results if both the student and the teacher are not aware of what actually is expected out of the other. The determination of the goal will not only help in the instruction process but also would be handy in creation of a plan through which the goal can be attained. The task at hand should be taken seriously with
adequate focus and disposition. Thestudent as well as the trainer should be mentally and physically prepared for the task at hand and the goals that has to be attained. Any form of dance is beautiful, but what counts is the way you exhibit that dance form.
Mutual understanding between the student and the trainer also determines the fate of the dance instruction process. There should be adequate rapport in between them. While on the side of the instructor it should be good that he dose not wants the student to chance in a fortnight and learn all the new skill quickly. A good instructor will always understand the student knowing that all the skills cannot be understood and done in a very short time. The process involves a lot of patience along with time.
On the part of the student he should allow the instructor adequate time and leeway to teach. Every instructor has his own ways am methods of teaching and it should be remembered that he should be always provided that freedom to exercise his judgment. Sometimes it might happen that with a lack of rapport there creates a tension and consequently the trainer might not be able to exercise full control. But it should be remembered that the trainer is the person who will be teaching the student new skill and it is not the other way round.

Certain Bacteria Render Mosquitoes Resistant to Deadly Malaria Parasite
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 225 million malaria cases occur worldwide annually, resulting in about 781,000 deaths. Although the disease is present in 106 countries, most cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Insect repellent and bed nets can help prevent transmission of the malaria parasite from mosquitoes to humans, but to control malaria one step earlier, some studies are looking to eliminate infection within the mosquito itself. Normally, when a malaria parasite infects a mosquito, it travels to the insect's gut, where its chances for survival are slim because the mosquito's immune system, digestive enzymes and resident bacteria create a hostile environment.
According to an article published on May 13 in the journal Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1201618 2011), a class of naturally occurring bacteria that can strongly inhibit malaria-causing parasites in Anopheles mosquitoes has been identified. In this new study, it was found that among the various types of bacteria in the mosquito gut, Enterobacter – a type of bacteria that occurs in some but not all mosquitoes – effectively blocked infection with the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum by 98 to 99%. The finding may have implications for efforts to control malaria. The research was partly funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health.
By observing the interaction between the bacteria and the parasite, the study determined that Enterobacter inhibits parasite growth by producing short-lived molecules known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although ROS travel through body fluids in the mosquito, they do not need to be in a mosquito to inhibit parasites. Future research plans include sequencing the Enterobacter genome to better understand how it produces malaria-inhibiting ROS and studying other bacteria that reside in the mosquito gut to learn whether they have similar effects.
The authors hope to apply their findings to the field, where they would first modify Enterobacter for use in mosquitoes. The next step would be to strategically place the bacteria in the mosquitoes' natural environment, such as in their sugar food sources or breeding sites. Although these strategies have not yet been tested in malaria prevention, sugar baits have been used successfully to expose mosquitoes to toxins.

Ama Dablam is a stunning 7000 metre-high mountain situated in the Everest region of Nepal.( 2 kilometres higher than Mont Blanc) Also known as the "Matterhorn of the Himalayas", this pointed mountain is technically demanding and requires 2 weeks of acclimatisation before a bid for the summit attempted.
Lukla is the starting point for most expeditions in the Everest region. After a rather hairy helicopter flight into this village, due to bad weather, we spent 5 days hiking up to Ama Dablam Base Camp. Luckily most of our climbing kit, ropes and down suits were taken up by yak as the altitude gain each day make even moderate walking slow and breathing a real effort.

Our Lady Della Croce
March 1
There is a sanctuary of the Madonna on the Bergamo Road, about a mile away from the city of Crema, Italy. The structure is a circular form, with four additions in the shape of a cross, which gave rise to the name: "Holy Mary of the Cross," or Our Lady Della Croce. The sanctuary is located in a place where, in years gone by, there stood a dense little wood called "Il Novelletto."
In the late 15th century a young woman named Caterina Uberti lived with her brother in the city of Crema. When she arrived at marriageable age, her brother induced her to wed one Bartolomeo Petrobelli; it was an unfortunate arrangement – Caterina was good and pious; Bartolomeo was quite the opposite, tending toward the wicked and corrupt. The marriage was unhappy for Caterina and uncomfortable for Bartolomeo – his rather crude and brutal ways shamed her, while her refined and holy life was a silent reproach to his somewhat scandalous mode of living.
So, after a year of turmoil, Bartolomeo decided to kill Caterina. Having made up his mind, he lost no time in carrying out his evil design.
He suggested that they journey to Bergamo and visit his parents; she agreed, and in the late afternoon of April 3, 1490, they mounted their horses and set forth from the city. When they arrived at the wood about a mile from Crema, Bartolomeo left the highway and rode into the forest; Caterina was puzzled, but not knowing what else to do, followed him. When they reached the middle of the wood, Bartolomeo dismounted and made Caterina get down from her horse.
Then, without warning, he drew his sword, raised it and fiercely brought it down, intending to split her head with one clean cut. Instinctively she drew up her arm to ward off the savage blow, saved her head, but lost her right hand – the poor severed hand hung from the stump of her arm by a strip of skin, and Bartolomeo brutally tore it off and flung it to one side. He then slashed at her like a maniac until she fell to the ground in a pool of blood; thinking her dead, he leaped on his horse and fled.
Caterina was not dead, nor was she afraid to die, though she felt her time was short. With all her dying heart she wished for the Last Sacraments; so she prayed to the Mother of God, who heard her prayer. A glow of light pushed back the gathering darkness and a beautiful lady approached her. Reaching down, the Lady, Our Lady Della Croce, took her by the arm and helped her rise – the blood stopped flowing and new life coursed through her mutilated body.
The Lady bade Caterina follow her, but Caterina asked if she might look for her lost hand. The Lady promised it would be returned to her in due time. Taking Caterina to a hut, she told her these people would help her and then vanished. The kind peasants did all they could for Caterina, and the next morning they placed her on a rude stretcher and tenderly carried her back to Crema.
As they passed through the wood, one of the men found the severed hand and returned it to Caterina. They took her to the Church of St Benedetto, where the pastor, after hearing the story, anointed Caterina who died there. The story spread rapidly; some believed, others doubted that the Blessed Virgin worked such wonders.
An eleven year old boy, living in Crema plagued with an unhealable abscess on a foot, begged to be taken to the wood to put his foot on the spot where the Lady appeared. His mother and a group of relatives carried him there, and he was instantly cured, all abscess traces gone.
Many other sick and infirm came also and were cured. The people erected a small chapel on the spot and placed in it a plaster image of Our Lady. More favors followed; many offerings were made by the faithful and in a few years a fitting sanctuary to the Madonna was completed by 1500. Later a fine new statue of Mary was enshrined in the Sanctuary and in 1873 Our Lady Della Croce was crowned with a golden crown by order of the Vatican.

Lindsey and Brady were high school sweethearts who just kept the love going. I met them a few months ago to chat over coffee, and I could immediately tell how much they loved each other and wanted to spend their lives together. These two put family first, and mentioned that the majority of the wedding guests would be from their very big families. It was so fun to watch these families come together and celebrate such a beautiful couple.
The ceremony and reception were both held at The Lodge at Liberty Forge in Mechanicsburg, PA. Lindsey's lace gown (J&B Bridals and Tuxedos), silver shoes, and the beautiful teal bridesmaid dresses were the perfect selections for a fall wedding. I especially loved her rhinestone and lace garter.
Their beautiful rings from Garrick Jewelers.
Getting ready to see her groom
Lindsey just rocked this dress. The lace and button details were so intricate, and just really beautiful.
The girls
Brady waiting for his bride.
The guys
Flowers by Matching Buds / Celine Wilkinson and Mattie Wetzel. Their first look took his breath away, and Lindsay said all of the nerves just melted away. They were just an hour or so from being married.
What a fun bridal party! These guys were constantly laughing and joking around the entire day. They definitely made my job easy.
These two lovebirds enjoying some alone time before the ceremony begins.
Time to say "I do!" Their first dance as husband and wife.
We just couldn't pass up this amazing sunset. I could've spent an entire hour photographing these two while the sun peeked over the hills. It was absolutely stunning.
When Lindsey and Brady told me they were having an ice cream bar, instead of cake, I got a little excited. I have never seen guests run so quickly to a dessert table. The ice cream, from Mr. G's Ice Cream, was fantastic.
These guys definitely know how to party and just about everyone was out on the dance floor.
Thank you Lindsey and Brady for letting me be part of your day! You are such a sweet couple and I wish you all the best in your future together.

Formerly a Shoe and Boot Factory filled with sneakers, moccasins and espadrilles* (*probably not factually correct), we have converted this historic building into 'industrial chic' luxury apartments for those of you wanting something a little bit different. Apartment 18 is the perfect home for making your friends jealous...who wouldn't want to live here?! Boasting 4 double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/lounge and a stylish breakfast bar, this apartment is the ideal student home. Our clever interior designers have handpicked a whole load of vintage bits and bobs to make this apartment truly one-of-a-kind. As well as all of this vintage wonder, we've kitted the apartment out with a flat screen TV, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer.
This is all topped of with our all-inclusive bills and broadband package- so no arguing over who has to pay the bills at the end of the month!

User reviews for "Sacrifice Girl -The Curse of Demon Snake- +Mini illust collection package"
Not everyone's cup of tea
Aug/20/2017 By Komachi
0 user(s) found this review helpful.
Keywords the reviewer selected :
The basic premise of the game is very simple: You've been selected as a sacrifice to some kinda demon, try to survive and find your way out underwater. From the very first moment you're being chased by enemies and struggling to find air pockets. The game is mostly about exploration and puzzle-solving, although for me it was very frustrating because the puzzles are kinda hard (you won't get them at first try) and very, very easy to mess up, even if you know what you're doing. You have limited time to be underwater before you drown, and there are enemies (that are not always trivial to run away from) and environmental hazards, and getting hit will reduce your air, so if you get hit more than once while trying to solve a long puzzle you'll likely drown. You really have to visit areas multiple times, plan your exact route, and then execute it all perfectly and hope then game doesn't feel like being an asshole (like another monster popping up that you couldn't see before). But the AI for most monsters/environment is mostly predictable and the controls are tight, so if you like really hard games, this can be a good pick-up.

One of the better UW action/adventure/survival games on the market. The art style is interesting and the game play mechanics are very well done, albeit rare occasions where the "chase" music begins playing before the snake begins the chase.

Summary: On-lot lateral connections are the responsibility of each property owner. In general, the connection process includes:
The median cost for the on-lot work is estimated to be about $3,000. Homes with more complicated situations will have additional costs. It is recommended that property owners seek recommendations from friends and neighbors who have already completed their connections and request quotes from multiple contractors in order to get a fair price for the work.
Sewer Lateral Connection Schedule: Phase 1 of the sewer lateral connections of individual properties began on March 28, 2016 when the water recycling facility was ready to accept wastewater.
See the Sewer Lateral Connection Phasing Schedule to identify which phase your property is located in. Notices were mailed to property owners several weeks before their phase began. The notices specified the dates on which sewer lateral connections may begin and that connections are required to be done within 180 days.
Septic System Decommissioning Planning: Property owners have options for decommission their septic systems by either abandoning the septic system in place or repurposing it for a number of sustainable uses which benefit water resources, such as capturing rain water run-off and returning it to the groundwater supply. The septic tanks may be abandoned in place, which includes having the tank pumped out then filling it with sand, gravel or concrete slurry. The Septic System Decommissioning and Reuse Plan provides guidance for property owners in planning for a range of septic system repurposing solutions. Rain water capture and infiltration to groundwater will be a comparable cost to abandoning in-place, while sustainably benefiting local water resources. Reusing septic tanks to increase your water supply for irrigation or toilet flushing are also discussed.
For more information about converting a septic tank to capture rain water, review this video (the link takes you to the YouTube website) of the process being completed by contractors in Los Osos. Note: Many contractors are available to provide this service and this video is not an endorsement of any specific contractor(s).
Sewer Lateral Installation Information: All lateral installation and septic system decommissioning work must comply with the building permit issued and the currently adopted California Plumbing Code. Septic tanks must also be pumped by a licensed septic pumping contractor prior to decommissioning by abandoning in place or repurposing. Septage may not be discharged to the sewer lateral or collection system. Review the Sewer Lateral Installation handout for general requirements on sewer lateral materials, pipeline minimum slope, clean-out location, back flow devices, and the inspection process.
Contracting for the Lateral Connection Work: Most property owners will hire contractors to complete the work and should use the licensed companies on the Contractor Interest List. Using contractors from this list is necessary for compliance with the County's environmental permits for the project. Any licensed contractor interested in the work may contact the County to schedule a short training and be added to the list. Obtaining quotes from multiple contractors is recommended in order to get a fair price for the work. The Contractor State License Board (CSLB) protects consumers and has information on how to select a licensed, qualified contractor, check the status of a contractor license, negotiate a clear contract, prevent disputes and mechanics liens, and resolving contractor disputes. Please refer to the CSLB's website.
Property owners may also complete the work themselves as "owner-builders". They must obtain the proper building permits and follow the California Plumbing Code. There are a number of issues to consider before beginning a construction job as an "owner-builder". For more information on some of the legal obligations and risks, please refer to the CSLB's website.
Sewer Lateral and Septic Tank Locations: Use this interactive GIS map to find the approximate location of the septic tank and sewer stub-out on most properties in Los Osos. Zoom to your property location; or enter a property address or Assessor's Parcel Number in the search bar at the top-right of the map and zoom to the yellow dot. Septic tank locations are approximate and not available for every property. You can also turn on the "Connection Plan" layer to see the boundaries for each of the 3 connection phases.
Shallow Groundwater: Septic tanks that have been repurposed for water supply options may be empty at certain times. If the empty tanks are in shallow groundwater, there is a risk that they could float and be pushed out of the ground by the water pressure. This depth to groundwater map is provided for planning purposes to identify whether properties are over shallow groundwater. A design professional or some contractors can determine whether this is a risk and recommend measures to address it.
Properties which require Environmental Monitoring: The properties shown in yellow on this map contain sensitive environmental resources. These properties will require environmental monitoring, which will be provided by the County at no cost to the property owner. The building permits for these properties must be issued as "over-the-counter permits" in order to ensure that the monitoring is coordinated according to the requirements of the project's environmental permits.
Verification of Compliance with CA Retrofit Laws: State law requires that all homes have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms installed in the dwelling. State law and the project's environmental permits also require low-flow plumbing fixtures as a condition of connecting properties to the project. The self-verification form must be signed by the property owner as a condition of completing the building permit process. Water conservation program rebates are available to cover costs of the plumbing fixture retrofits.

Not so with Mo. He was a very high-class scarecrow. Clothes all color matched. No patches on his pants. Well shaped pumpkin head, an organic carrot nose, and the highest quality straw a scarecrow can be stuffed with. He was a scarecrow with pride, and often liked to sing a little song he made up, "What a lucky guy am I, every day to see the sky." Sometimes a little skylark would join in with him.
Mo liked everyone, even the crows, and had
no desire to scare them away from anything. The crows liked him as well.
They found him perfect to perch on as they surveyed the field for supper.
The crows and Mo would chat all day, and sometimes tell funny stories.
Mo liked his life, and when the crows would ask him how he was doing, he
would always reply, "can't complain."
Indian Summer changed into Fall and there were no problems at all until Halloween eve. What happened then is hard to believe. There was a full moon, little black clouds were forming and witches were already flying on their magic brooms. Mo was enjoying the scene, when he felt a sensation in his nose. It was a tingling feeling. And then suddenly the tingling stopped, and it felt -- well it didn't feel like his nose at all. That was because it had turned to gold. His perfectly good organic carrot nose was now some sort of golden trophy on his pumpkin face. First he thought the crows had played a joke on him. And then he figured, how would they ever find a gold carrot? Impossible!
A visiting parrot, who was very knowledgeable, had told him about greedy King Midas who had been punished by having everything he touched turn to gold, even his child. Maybe a greedy witch with a Midas touch had turned his nose to gold, and was coming to retrieve it when he fell asleep. There was no doubt, it was too awful to think about.
Mo knew it was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Because of his concern about his fate, he began to lose weight. He couldn't joke or play a game, nothing now seemed the same. Plus that, he couldn't smell a thing, wiggle his golden nose or sneeze. He became allergic to every little breeze. The deed was out of sight. It was a predicament all right. That witch was mean, she was spoiling Halloween.
The crows summoned Old King Crow, the wisest crow, who came down to investigate. When he looked at the golden nose he shook his head. "Take a pumpkin seed and go to bed. I'll see you in the morning," he said.
But Mo said, "I'll never last that long."
The crows fluttered about Mo and tried to console him. Then a pompous looking duck waddled in. "I would like to venture an opinion," she said. "A few duck dives might shake that strange nose free. We ducks do it constantly."
"Sakes alive," said Mo, "I can't dive. I'm out of luck, I'm not a duck. I guess I'll have to think this out myself. I better think real fast, cause I don't know how long I'll last."
A little rabbit happened by. "What's up?" he asked. Mo just sighed. "Are you having a bad hay day?" asked the rabbit.
"No," said Mo, "it's my new nose. It's gold and very bold, and I've been thinking all day, what to do to make it go away."
"Seems like you're in a big snafu, a bit
of action now will do," said the rabbit. "Thinking doesn't always
work. If I thought all day, I'd go berserk. A hop in time saves nine."
With that he pulled with all his might the golden nose in there so tight.
Ker-plop, it landed out of sight. Mo was shocked. "But now," he said, "what will replace it?"
The rabbit said, "that problem is easy to fix. Here are my carrots, take your pick. You can have any size or shape nose, I don't mind."
Mo said, "thank you, you're very kind. If I may be so bold to say, you're a rabbit with a heart of gold."
Mo carefully picked one, put it in place and then he sneezed.
"Good," said the rabbit, "I see it's working. Use it in good health."
Mo said, "I guess good friends are your greatest wealth."
"Not only that," said a little crow, "gold may possess a lot of gleam, but a carrot nose has carotene."

"Mike and I were introduced to Joe Grande of Grande Wood Designs by our contractor Steve Eldridge. In addition to having our cabinets built locally, we were looking for a person who would give us that extra edge with details in design and workmanship.
We really lucked out! Joe introduced us to Lyptus, a "green wood", for our cabinets and everything turned out perfect. We now have 'our dream kitchen' and I want to thank Joe and his craftsmen for their outstanding commitment for giving us just that."
Pauline and Mike Blanton
Nevada City
"Joe Grande came highly recommended to us by our contractor who was doing some remodel work at our house. We wanted a new kitchen so we started working with Joe on a design. The kitchen was funky and needed some imagination to create a functional yet lovely place to work in. Working with Joe and Edwina was an absolute delight. They are people with character and integrity and there was never a moment that didn't go smoothly. As Joe came highly recommended to us, we highly recommend him to anyone who desires good craftsmanship and quality work."
– The Whiteaker's
"Thank you for the wonderful job you did on our recent kitchen remodel. It all started with the design stage where you both listened to what we had in mind and then incorporated both our ideas, as well as, suggesting other innovative ideas into the final design. The end product was terrific.
The installation was done on time and your installers were efficient and kept the dust and mess to a minimum. Our experience with contractors fulfilling their contracts has not been good and your overseeing the sub-contractors was appreciated. You not only met your contract but went beyond the call of duty and both Judy and I could not be happier.
We have had many compliments from guests on what a change it made in the functionality of our kitchen, as well as, its appearance. We have and will continue to recommend your work to anyone who is interested in quality work."
Dick and Judy Phillips
Nevada City
"Speaking as a professional Interior Designer of 34 years, who has worked with Grande Wood Designs both professionally and personally, I can attest to the exceptional quality of both the process and the end result.
From the beginning of discussing wants and needs, to the thrill of installation, working with Joe Grande and his staff is extraordinary. He is a design visionary, a creative problem solver, a detail man, and someone who has follow-through ethics that are so essential, yet rarely found.
He makes the whole process easy. His communication skills spark options, based on experience, which makes the planning stage fun. And, his attention to details throughout the project, make it run smoothly. The fact that he and his staff develop, measure, fabricate, as well as install the products insures a great finished result.
Everyday I pull open a drawer and mentally say "thanks, Joe and all the Grande Wood Design experts!"

Autumn can be a good season for buying auto insurance. There are new car insurance plans issued during October and clients now have multiple resources for comparing plans and finding cheap coverage in a simple and convenient way. All the necessary resources are provided by a single website: http://www.carinsurancesavings.biz/.
When comparing car insurance plans, it is essential to have some essential details about the plans. For example, clients will have to know how much they will have to pay for coverage, but also, how much benefits they will be able to get under a policy. A car insurance quote displays all of these details.
Each visitor receives different quotes, based on his or her insurance needs, vehicle and driving record. All of these details can influence auto insurance prices and quotes are properly adjusted so that they reflect the actual prices of various policies. In order to get accurate price information, drivers must complete a single online form with a few details.
Auto insurance rates vary from state to state, so clients will first have to enter their ZIP code. Then, car insurance prices are also influenced by the car's model and condition and by the type of coverage someone needs. Thus, drivers must complete a simple questionnaire so that the search engine knows what plan to select. There are hundreds of quotes available and nobody wants to go through all of them. The selection is very important and for accurate results, drivers should remember to enter accurate details.
"Online car insurance quotes are affordable this autumn," said
Carinsurancesavings.biz is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

About me
My historical novel for adults, The Practice House, gave me a chance to work out, in fictional form, the joys and limitations of home life in the 1930s, an era shaped by the same moral code (and daily tasks) of my adolescence. Writing it reminded me how much I loved crimping the edges of pies, cutting around the pinned edge of a dress pattern, planning a Thanksgiving menu, and tipping rain water out of the bottles my grandmother collected at the dump and used to decorate her yard. The thing my three novels have in common is their faith in the power of commonplace objects and the good intentions of strangers.

And then there's the mountains of enzymes and fish oil and every other kind of pill on the planet that keeps my busy husband chugging along every day. Help me! I love Eric dearly, but I need to find a solution for all of this stuff. I'm about to lose it.
Evelyn decided the other day that she wanted to expand her canvas beyond the pages of a coloring book. I like to call this work, "Mommy and Daddy aren't getting their deposit back."
What makes this even more wonderful are the cheap gritty generic rental property walls that chew up sponges and suck up every single little bit of grit and grime that dares to brush against them. In other words, they are literally impossible to clean. WHY anyone would choose this finish for a RENTAL property is beyond me, but whatever. So now until we're willing to repaint the entire wall, we get to live with electric blue scribbles right in the middle of our living space. I'm seriously considering framing it.
One of the very first flaws that I noticed in our humble abode when we moved in were the broken blinds in the girls' room. They stick out like a cowboy at a death metal concert and make me cringe every single time I have to walk into their room.
We were able to create a cozy living area, but we were left with a big empty spot behind our couches which is completely useless as it is. If we had need for it I guess we could turn this space into a little office area...but we don't have a desk, and we only use laptops. I wish we had nice bookshelves or SOMETHING just to make it look like our furniture configuration makes sense...but we don't. If you have any creative suggestions for this spot let me know, cause I'm stumped!
Please tell me I'm not the only one that lives in a loved but quirky home. Whether your place is old or new, rented or owned, is there something that drives you crazy or leaves you clueless about where you live? I'd love to hear what it is!

I got home about 15 minutes after you'd gone to bed this evening, but I had been hoping I would make it in time for a hug. Not to be D-Turd, I decided to wake you up to give you a hug anyway. As I headed to your room, AT decided that we were having a race. I took a shortcut through the louder of the two doors into your room while AT burst through the other door. You were just finishing up a snore, and your eyes popped open. Without missing a beat, you said "what's the big contraption?"
When AT and I got done cracking up, I told you that "contraption" is another word for a machine. You said "then what word did I mean?" We told you that you probably meant "commotion." You said, "oh, probably because I am trying to sleep."
Well I'll tell you what the big contraption is: the McCord family is moving to Switzerland! I'll bet it's basically just like Atlanta.
Why don't I leave you with this video of you describing a very serious problem and ending with your Bill Murray in Caddy Shack smile.
