Chapter 17
Gingers return
"What?!" said the three cats "No mom you can't!" "He will control the world!" they wailed. "But what else could I do?" she growled "I just can't watch you die you are my children!" she hissed "I think Pumpkin is right" meowed Black Socks " the dark shadow won this time" she growled "NO!" Midnight growled "we can't let him win after what we have been through!" he yowled "we want through the ocean fought the menacing tigernake and his snake tails, we lived on this island for months and now you give up?!" he meowed "where is the cat that fought to protect her territory form Ginger?" "And who is the cat that saved the diamond of life for destruction?" And stopped the dark shadow?" he meowed "that cat is no more" growled Pumpkin "who is the cat who told us not to give up and to believe in ourselves?" He mowed "that cat is you Pumpkin" and you still have the courage and wisdom you always had" said Midnight. Pumpkin looked at her sons and friend, then she felt strength and determination surge through her again. "Your right Midnight I shouldn't give up I have got to believe in myself!" she growled.
Well Pumpkin I gave you enough time to think, so what's your answer?" The dark shadow growled "my answer is plain No!" she snarled "wrong answer!" the dark shadow growled and with that he ordered his bat minions to cut the rope holding up her sons. "No!" she cried "that won't get you anywhere!" hissed the dark shadow. But before the bats could sink their small fangs into the rope, a loud yowl split through the air like a saw. "If you set one fang on those ropes you will wish you haven't!" the voice snarled. "Who's there?" hissed the dark shadow but as soon as the owner of the voice reveled herself everyone froze in absolute shock. Standing on a rock above them was Pumpkin's old enemy Ginger.
Chapter 18
A new friend
Pumpkin was looking at Ginger, her jaw fell in shock. "What are you doing here?" she growled Ginger looked down with shame, then shook her head. "I am here to save you!" she Meowed "Save us?" Pumpkin was amazed how her once enemy, would end up saving her from death. "But why would you do that" Pumpkin choked "you and I where enemies!" she Meowed "Things change Pumpkin" meowed Ginger. Ginger was about to say more, when an angry yowl rumbled the caves walls. "Ginger you fool!" Hissed the dark shadow "You are the fool!" Ginger growled "leave my friends alone!" she hissed "I won't leave them alone until I get what I want!" The dark shadow growled "You had things going your way long enough!" Ginger spat angrily. The dark shadow growled again "seize her!" he growled "she has a very sharp tongue!" he spat. But Ginger didn't let that happen, she quickly dogged the bats attacks, and lashed out her claws at the ones who came near. And soon the once menacing bats where lying dead on the ground. Ginger got up and shook herself and little droplets of blood flew into the air. She growled "you're in for it now!" she spat "Oh I don't think so" the dark shadow growled. And with that he leaped into the air and landed in front of Ginger grinning. Ginger hesitated then shook herself. "You have been alive long enough!" she hissed. "Oh have I?" The dark shadow grinned. Ginger hissed then Pounced on the Dark shadows back, then unsheathed he claws and swiped them at his face. But they missed by inches, he smiled an evil smile, then unsheathed his claws and lashed them out at her forehead. Ginger screeched and fell on the rocky floor her blood smearing on it. She growled then got up shaking her blood socked fur, then took off running toward the cages. She quickly and expertly climbed up the rocks and charged towards the cages and stopped in front of Pumpkin's. "Quickly!" she growled "you push the door and I will try fiddling with the lock with my claws!" she meowed Pumpkin shook her head, then immediately pushed her cage's door with all her might. Pumpkin's cage door flew open with a loud creak, and Pumpkin leaped out of the cage " thank you" she whispered "any time" Ginger meowed "come on we have to get the others out!" she growled. Pumpkin shook her head then charged after Ginger, and soon they were all free. "Come on we have to…" no one knew what Ginger was saying for her words where drowned by an angry yowl. "Oh no!" Ginger cried "he's coming!" she hissed "every cat quickly!" she hissed "head right then straight, you will see a hole in the ceiling with ivy growing down it!" "Climb the ivy and you will be out of the volcanic cave!" she hissed. The cats nodded and dashed off, but Pumpkin remained. "Ginger go I have an old score to settle!" Pumpkin growled. Ginger looked shocked "no! I can't leave you here!" she hissed "sorry Ginger but I cat let this evil cat live!" she meowed Ginger looked at Pumpkin then nodded. "Oh alright Pumpkin but be careful!" she meowed.
Chapter 19
The last battle
Pumpkin charged back into the volcanic cave, then stopped as a loud roar rumbled the caves walls. Pumpkin growled and dashed after the voice, but came to an abrupt halt as she reached the place where she would fight her last battle. Pumpkin looked around the cave and gaped when she saw the dark shadow sneering at her. " I see you have come back" he growled "that was a smart decision" he hissed Pumpkin growled "I am here to fight our last battle and spill the last of your blood!" she snarled the sneer immediately fell off the dark shadows face and was replaced with a deadly snarl. "You think you can beat me?" he spat "and worse!" she snarled The dark shadow hissed then leaped at Pumpkin his claws unsheathed, but Pumpkin jumped out of the way just in time, and the dark shadow landed in her place. He hissed in frustration then pounced at Pumpkin and landed on her back, but Pumpkin kicked his stomach with her hind legs paws unsheathed. And they dug into his stomach like little knives, he howled in agony but quickly lashed his claws at Pumpkin's belly then rolled away. But Pumpkin quickly grabbed him by his tail and swung him around in circles, then let go and he flew in the air and crashed into some rocks. The dark shadow groaned then growled, but Pumpkin was already there next to him as soon as he got up she pounced on him again and clawed at his sides. The dark shadow let out a howled of agony then swiped his claws at Pumpkins forehead and blood oozed out, but that didn't stop Pumpkin for when the dark shadow was about to leap at her she quickly sank her fangs into his throat. The dark shadow struggled he lashed out his claws everywhere, but then slowed down and struggled less then stopped moving. Pumpkin growled then let go of his throat. The dark shadow was dead.
Chapter 16
An old enemy
"Oh no!" Black Socks screeched "The lava is blocking our path!"she yowled "how will we cross?" Growled Midnight Pumpkin was looking at the lava with wide fear full eyes "I don't know" she whispered "Maybe we could…" But no one new what Pumpkin was about to say, as a loud yowl split through the air. "well well I see you and your pesky little friends have finally made it to my hide out!" said the voice They all froze "who is there?!" growled Midnight show your self!" he hissed "oh my Pumpkin!" said the voice again "haven't you ever thought your children manners yet" said the voice with a chuckle Pumpkin growled Well I would of if you hadn't taken them away from me!"she snarled The voice growled seize her!"the voice hissed "and her little friends too!" Pumpkin gasped as something grabbed her and through her into a cage, but before she could struggle she was drifting into unconsciousness. And the last thing she saw was the dark shadow sneering at her with his dark red eyes.
"Ow my head!"Pumpkin winced as she felt her had and gaped when she saw where she was, she was trapped in a cage above a pool of bubbling lava. She screamed then her voice died away as she began to take in her surroundings. "she was in a cage by her self and Black Socks and Midnight where no where to be seen. she quickly leaped up and started looking around her but as soon as her eyes left the pool of lava under her she froze. As a growl split through the air, "we looks like you mother has finally woken up!"said the voice Pumpkin growled "I know what you want she snarled but you are not getting it!"she hissed the fur on her neck beginning to bristle The dark shadow chuckled
"well If you won't give me what I want, then It will be the last time you see them alive!" he growled and with that he Pulled a rope reviling another two cages. And in those two cages where Pumpkins three missing sons, Pebbles Tiger, and Blossom. Pumpkin was furious and she started clawing and scratching her cage bars. "oh calm down Pumpkin I won't hurt them" But If you don't Give me the Diamond of life then its lights out for your sons and friend!"he snarled "I'd rather die than give the diamond of life to you!" she snarled "oh so you'd rather have all your sons die?" he grinned Pumpkin glared Daggers at him "you wont dare!" she growled "Oh i will" he growled "unless you agree to hand over the Diamond" "never!" she yowled "okay Pumpkin i will give you time to think about it, and some time to have a nice reunion!" he smirked Pumpkin glared at him her eyes filled with pure hatred. And with that the dark shadow stalked of laughing. Then silence every thing was calm and quite, "Mom i..is that you? said a tiny voice Pumpkin whirled around to see three tiny eyes peering through the bars of another cage. Tears of happiness filled Pumpkins eyes as she edged closer to the other cage. "yes" she meowed "It's me" she Meowed again "But i thought you where gone" the three cats wailed "No i was at home looking for you" she cried "But when i couldn't find you I..I just couldn't forgive my self!" she cried "and..and now I will never see you again!" she sobbed "how could have i been so foolish and ignorant!" she hissed "I could of paid more attention to you and made sure he never took you!" she wept "NO mom you couldn't" yes i could of! she growled "and..and now all hope is lost!"she cried "I have no choice" she whispered I will have to give him the Diamond of life" she meowed.
Chapter 15
The entrance
"I can't find a way in" growled Midnight "Maybe there is a secret passage that will take us in to the volcano" Black Socks suggested "But there's got to be some way to get in" Pumpkin protested Midnight hissed "there is a way in" he meowed then he had visions of the time he and his three brothers where in the sack that was carried by the dark shadow, then it hit him. "Mom! Mom!" I think I know how to get in the volcano!" he screeched Pumpkin looked at him in amazement. "oh so how do we get in?" she meowed "well when I was in the sack, Pebbles clawed at it and he managed to catch a view of The dark shadow opening a secret passage, but I don't know where but I do know it is next to running water" he meowed "Running water" Pumpkin thought "where did I hear running water" she thought. But a loud yowl interrupted her thoughts "I know!" yowled Midnight in excitement and he raced into a bush. "Over here!" he yowled again Pumpkin and Black Socks looked at each other, and then charged after Midnight at top speed, but as soon as they broke out of the bush they froze. Standing in front of them was a big dark tunnel.
"I don't believe it!" Black Socks exclaimed excitedly Pumpkin shook her head. "Is this?" she whispered. "Yep!" it's the dark shadows hide out!" Meowed Midnight. Pumpkin shook her head in disbelief "It couldn't be" she meowed "oh yes it is" meowed Midnight now jumping up in excitement "come on lets go and find my brothers!" he yowled and with that they all raced into the tunnel.
"Ugh!" hissed Midnight "when are we going to find my brothers!" growled Midnight "look we have gone over this before Midnight" Said Pumpkin. "We will find them soon" she reassured him "yeah I mean it's not like she doesn't want to finds them, they are her sons too you know!" Said Black Socks "Midnight winced "I'm sorry mom but I am really worried about them" he cried Pumpkin sighed "I'm worried about them too" she whispered. So after hours of walking in the dark, the cats heard a distant gushing sound. Midnight's ears pricked "what's that sound?" he meowed Black Socks and Pumpkin pricked their ears too. "Huh I don't know, but it sounds like running water" Meowed Black Socks. "No not running water!" Midnight shirked "running lava!" he screamed.

The Historical Fight At Dawn
Chapter 14 On the move
Midnight and Black Socks where amazed wh-what? They both meowed "yes" Pumpkin meowed "it's true he is hiding in the volcano caves" she meowed "he was there all along" Midnight growled "when I get my pawn on that brute he will get it!" he snarled " it's okay Midnight calm down you will get you revenge" Pumpkin meowed Midnight hissed in frustration then calmed down "okay we will leave our cave at dawn, we will hunt now so we will have pray when we are traveling, and we will pack things we need like our sleeping bags and our packs. Pumpkin meowed "okay you guys hunt and I will pack" she said.
" That was the toughest hunting mission ever" Said Midnight " I know there where hardly any birds left, but we stayed there longer and managed to catch quite a lot of Birds" said Black Socks " great!" said Pumpkin " and I finished packing! She meowed "oh and I put a little surprise in each of your Packs!" she meowed to the two cats. "Really?" they meowed what kind of surprise?" they meowed excitedly "well a surprise is a surprise!" she replied "aw!" they both looked down in disappointment "oh you will find out at dawn" said Pumpkin.
"Are you guys ready to go?" Said Pumpkin "yes!" They both shrieked "then let's get moving!" she yowled and the three cats set off to the center of the island to find the volcano.
"Are we there yet?" Meowed Midnight "almost" said Pumpkin "but we have been traveling for days now!" he moaned "patience" said Pumpkin Midnight grunted "oh don't worry we will be there before you know it! Said Black Socks then her face lit up "Pumpkin didn't you say that there was a surprise in our packs?" meowed Black Socks "oh yeah I completely forgot about that!" she meowed and she opened her pack and handed out bottles of blue and purple liquid. Midnight and Black Socks looked at it with puzzled gazes. "What's that?" they meowed "don't you know It's your favorite juice!" She meowed "the blue berry and banana one! And almost immediately their faces lit up and they grabbed a bottle each. "mmm!" that's so refreshing! They exclaimed Pumpkin chuckled well I wanted to surprise you! She meowed.
"We are here!" Meowed Black Socks excitedly Midnight growled "This is where that monster is hiding!" He snarled "its okay Midnight just calm down" meowed Pumpkin Midnight hissed then gave up. "Okay guys we need to find a place to rest "said Pumpkin "how about we hide in the undergrowth?" Said Black Socks "yeah I guess that'll do" Said Pumpkin. So the cats ventured into the undergrowth and rested until sun high. "Okay now that we are settled I think we should make a move on" meowed Pumpkin "but where should we start? Meowed Black Socks "I don't know" Pumpkin admitted "well maybe we could start searching around the volcano, and see if there is a way in" said Midnight "huh not bad.. Yes I think we should do just that good thinking Midnight!" purred Pumpkin Midnight Blushed "alright guys lets show The Dark shadow what we're made of! Pumpkin Howled.
I know you guys weren't expecting the chapter so soon, but I thought of adding another! 😀 😉
The Historical fight at dawn
chapter 13
The amazing discovery
It was a beautiful morning, as the sun shimmered into the cats cave, and lit it up with it's warm glow. Pumpkin stretched and yawned, then jumped out of her bed to find Black Socks and Midnight sitting at the table. " morning Pumpkin how was your sleep?" meowed Midnight She yawned "grate" and she yawned again. "well looks like someone slept funny last night" Black Socks joked Pumpkin shivered Black Sock and Midnight looked at each other with a worried look "whats the matter Pumpkin?" "Oh nothing just a nightmare " well then do you want to talk about-" "No I'm fine" she interrupted coldly "lets just focus on rescuing your brothers Midnight. Midnight winced "oh its okay Midnight Pumpkin didn't mean it" She meowed Pumpkin sighed "sorry guys but that nightmare really disturbed me" she shivered again "oh its okay Pumpkin we know how it feels" said Black Socks " yeah she's right no problem mom" Midnight reassured her "okay then just like i was saying before, we should start searching now" said Pumpkin "oh Pumpkin" Midnight meowed "yes?" she responded "I think i remember some thing important" Midnight paused
" go on" Pumpkin meowed "well when i was thrown out of the sack, we landed on a rocky floor and the walls where made out of black rocks, and there was lava running down a wall like a lava fall" he meowed with wide eyes Pumpkin looked bewildered "that's it!" Pumpkin gasped "whats it?" said Black Socks Pumpkin grabbed the map and pointed a claw at a dark mountain "that's it" she meowed Pumpkin was pointing to a volcano.
"What?!" Black Socks and Midnight meowed in great astonishment "A volcano?!" meowed Black Socks in disbelief "wow that amazing!" Midnight meowed but Pumpkin was still looking at that map, hey Midnight did't you say that you where thrown on a rocky floor?" "yeah" he meowed still puzzled Pumpkin gaped in amazement "what's the matter Pumpkin?" meowed Black Socks Pumpkin shook her head in astonishment, and her eyes shone with determination "guys I think I know where The Dark shadow is hiding" she meowed " they bath looked shocked "where" meowed Midnight " In the volcano" she meowed

While surveillance video keeps growing, it's a continuing source of amazement that so few standards exist. The biggest brands of turnkey surveillance systems benefit from proprietary standards that help lock out would-be competitors, partly explaining the predicament. There are many IP cameras available, but compatibility between brands is perennially problematic. Fortunately for companies looking to enter or expand in this market, help is on the way, in the form of two new open standards for the security video market. While these two new security video standards are not technically in conflict with each other, they do reflect very different visions of the future of security video.

File vs Block Level Backups
March 30th, 2011 by Patrick M. | Comment First! and 1 Reaction
Tags: backups, server backups
Every IT professional should be familiar with backups. Be it a simple file copy for safe keeping or a complex backup system for a multi-server environment. Regardless of which method your employ, it is important to simply have a backup plan in place. There is a myriad of options available for performing system backups, but they can be split into major camps based on the methods they use to perform the backup; file-level and block-level. For those that need to know the difference, this article will help shed some light on the difference between the two.
File-Level Backups
This is the most common method used by most basic backup software which makes it quite basic to understand. Software which employs file-level backups crawls the file system and makes a copy of each file and folder to a different destination. Popular software which employs file-level backups by default include Symantec Backup Exec, NTBackup (from Windows Server 2003 and below), and Bacula. Some systems copy the files into a container file; others simply move the files to a separate folder structure.
While this method does perform the primary task of "backups," there are drawbacks. For instance, if a large file is changed or modified between backup intervals, the entire file will be backed up again the next time it's noticed. This can inflate the amount of storage you'd need to back up your entire file system. Additionally, there needs to be some kind of a method in place for getting a "clean" copy of a file that is currently in use, and sometimes this can be an additional charge on top of the basic backup software.
Block-Level Backups
"Block-level backup" is not a new concept, but it is not as common as file-level backups. Block- and file-level differ because the software that performs block-level backups goes "deeper" than just the files and folders. Instead it backs up the underlying file system, or the actual "blocks" on the disk. It has also been referred to as "continuous data protection" or "image-based backups."
Different software vendors may perform the task differently, but they all manage to perform the same basic task. Some examples of block-level backup software are Windows Server Backups (Windows Server 2008 and up), Backup Exec (with the use of an extra software "agent" or plug-in), and Syncsort Backup Express (or BEX for short).
The main benefit to using block-level backups over file-level is that it can save space and time when backing up and restoring files and even entire servers. INetU has recently started using Syncsort's BEX product, so I'll use their method for an example.
- The first time a backup for a system is performed, it grabs the entire selection list, or whatever list of system volumes you choose for a given system. This is known as the "base" backup.
- The next scheduled backup looks for differences in the file system and only backs up the changes. This is also known as the "incremental" backup.
- It can then combine the two backups into one backup set. This process is known as the "condense" job and creates a "synthetic full" backup.
There is a lot more detail to the actual inner workings of this, but these are the basic points. The benefits of this method include the fact that only the changed blocks are backed up, which saves space, and full-server restorations are quicker and easier since it only has to write blocks back to the disk rather than individual files and folders.
The method is not without its drawbacks, however. Since it backs up any changes to the underlying file system, anything which affects the file system (such as a defragmentation) can cause data to be unnecessarily backed up. Also, since it relies upon all previous backups for the synthetic full to be usable, any problems with one of the incremental backups can "break the chain," so to speak, and cause the full be unusable.
Wrap Up
Now, I'm not trying to say that one method is better or worse than another. You may have a dataset which lends itself much better to using a file-level backup system and doesn't require backing up the entire file system. Regardless of which method you employ, the most important idea here is that backups are important. Which backup method to you use?

The Other Italy - Umbria: Getting out of Tuscany's Shadow
Oct 2, 2009
Umbria's narrow streets like cisterns
that stop up ancient time tasting of sweet wine,
Adam Jagajewski 'To See'
Let's face it a book called Under the Umbrian Sun would cause more confusion than inspire sales. Tuscany exudes the romance many travelers need when they imagine Italy. Umbria (or, for some, 'Tuscany without the coast'), unfortunately doesn't have the same tourist-attracting panache as its western neighbor. For those with Florence and Sienna in mind, the capital of the region, Perugia sounds to most North Americans like something you spread on a pizza as opposed to a place to visit.
But there's more to this landlocked landscape. I won't use the term 'diamond in the rough' but it is a wine region that needs a little bit more time to ferment attraction and attention.
Umbria is the 4th smallest of Italy's 20 regions in terms of physical size and population. With Tuscany to the north and west, Marche and the Apennines to the east and Lazio to the south, Umbria is completely surrounded by Italian neighbors – unlike other regions that share a border or seaway with another country.
Named for the Umbri tribes who settled in the region around the 6th century B.C., the area is largely mountainous. Archaeological finds in the region indicate there was a wine culture existing before the Romans. The Romans loved Umbrian wines which at the time were mainly white with some reds and rosés.
Monastery in Assisi
One of the main tourist attractions is the town of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis who founded the Franciscan Order there in 1208. The other town of interest is -
During the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the town of Orvieto became a highly reputed artistic centre. It was in Orvieto cathedral, during the late 14th century, that Ugolino di Prete Ilario began to paint the Life of the Virgin, a wall mosaic in the apse illustrating various scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary (Ugolino died before it was completed; his students Pintuiricchio and Antonio Viterbo finished the piece.)
Life of the Virgin
The work compliments Ugolino's other famous masterpiece, Miracle of Bolsena, a series of scenes depicting Christ's passion also painted in the cathedral in the Cappella (Chapel) del Corporale. Michealangelo is said to have been influenced by these works when he painted his frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.
The wine of Orvieto could then be the liquid artistic equivalent of the great Italian masterpieces and architecture of Umbria. During the twelfth century, the various popes who came to admire Ugolino's work, summered at Lake Corbara where they drank this thick, sweet wine from Orvieto. The sweetness was achieved by storing the grapes in humid caves following the harvest. While waiting to be pressed, the grapes would get moldy, the Noble Rot then would concentrate the fruit flavours.
The famed poet, Gabriele D'Annunzio called the wine 'the sun of Italy in a bottle'.
Today, the town of Orvieto continues to rest remote and timeless on its ancient hilltop. The wines of the area have become more modern in style. The majority of these whites are invariably secco (dry) and commonly exported to the North American market. However, if you happen to visit Italy, and make your way into Umbria, you may even be able to track down an Abboccato style (slightly sweet), an Amabile (semi-sweet) and a Dolce (sweet) in some grocery store or wine shop.
Orvieto, like Chianti in nearby Tuscany, is a blend of grapes. The predominant is Trebbiano, known locally as Procanico. The other varieties include: Verdello, Grechetto, Drupeggio and/or Malvasia Toscana. Wine produced around the historical area of Orvieto can be called 'Classico' because they are the original vineyard sites for this wine.
Today, there is a new Orvieto emerging in the form of an Orvietano Rosso, a red blend from numerous grapes including a 70% mix of Aleatico, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo (used in Chianti), Ciliegiol, Merlot, Montepulciano (famous in Abruzzo), Pinot Nero (also known as Italian Pinot Noir) and Sangiovese; and up to 30% Barbera and Dolcetto (both grown in Piedmont), Cesanese, and Colorino. Whewww!... A lot of grapes but the region is growing more potential.
Sagrantino is considered the new star grape in the Italian world of winemaking grown particularly in Montefalco. Recently, Sagrantino di Montefalco was elevated to DOCG status in the mid-1990s. The grape is often blended with Sangiovese. Nicolas Belfrage in his book, Brunello to Zibibbo believes the latter grape has a better 'affinity' with Sagrantino than the French varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
The grape has been in the area for a considerably long time. Some believe it dates back to the Roman times, the Itriola grape mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History. Others suggest it was originally from the Middle East and brought to the region via Spain. Franciscan monks from the Middle Ages are rumoured to have first planted the variety. Whatever the story, Sagrantino has a strong presence in Central Italy.
Despite the size of its small berries and bunches, it is big in other ways including colour, acid, sugars, tannin, extract and sugar. Like the Corvina grape used to make Valpolicella, it has contributed to making and still to some extent today, semi-sweet wines. The grapes, like we find in Amarone and Ripasso were dried and pressed. Traditionally, the wines were consumed for special occasions like Lent. With 30-100 grammes of residual sugar per litre, it was far too massive of a wine used for mass (although the name Sagrantino or sacramento - 'sacramental' - suggests a different story).
Up until the end of the 20th century, Sagrantino remained under the radar. It was until the 1990s that the Arnaldo Caprai winery helped to create renewed interest in the variety. Arnaldo and his son Marco, with the help of wine maker Attilio Pagli experimented with the variety, modernized and reorganized their winery and launched this little-known, small-berried grape onto the world stage. The results have all been positive.
Orvieto and Montefalco are places beyond the usual tourist-beaten path. Their wines have a quiet romanticism simply worth seeking out, from the chilling and beautiful lemon-citrus of the dry white (sometimes sweet) to the full-bodied bosom of the red. These wines exude (and I'm sure D'Annunzio would agree) the true Umbrian sun.

Is Harkila true to size? How is the width ? I never ordered boots over the internet, but might give it a try now. I need UK size 11 ( Euro 46) , but no half sizes from 46 up.
Is Harkila true to size? How is the width ? I never ordered boots over the internet, but might give it a try now. I need UK size 11 ( Euro 46) , but no half sizes from 46 up.
I found them tight at the instep.
Not wot u want to hear. But I also found them to be rubbish, Have had 3 pairs all slightly different syles and all usless. Will never have an other pair, at moment have to wear sealskin socks and yeti gaiters in a vain attampt to keep feet dry while i try to geet some wear out of them
I'm a UK10 and my Harkila's are a UK10, so for me they are bang on - I'd say I have wider feet than normal? and they are a good fit with decent hiking socks. There's enough movement on the attached tongue to give good width adjustment
Personally opinion, but I wouldn't buy any boots from them again.... Trousers fine, jackets, fleeces all good, but their boots were nothing but hassle. They were howevere the most comfortable boots fresh out of the box ive ever worn, but they let water in like a sieve within a year (even being goretex).
edit, country boy beat me to it, seems I'm not alone!
Opinions are like arseholes....... we all have them, and most of them stink
Save your money and buy Meindl. I cannot fault harkila pro hunter jacket and trousers but like Deerstalker.308 I would never buy harkila boots again. As somebody once told me. Harkila make boots, jackets, trousers, gloves, hats, shirts, belts etc etc. Meindl make one thing - Boots
I have the Pro Hunter GTX10 Kevlar and love them - I have a wider than average foot. So comfortable. Call Ardmoor which is where I purchased from. They said no problems for return if I needed to change the size.

I have the Harkila Big Game GTX 8" in size 11 and love them. They are the most comfortable outdoor boots I've ever owned and I've had no trouble with leakage or the like. Like any outdoor shoe, they do just need periodically cleaning and treating properly, how frequently, entirely depending on use. In size, I vary between 10.5 and 11 depending on manufacture and found the Harkila just a tad on the large size, but not excessively so. I've just ordered a pair of Forester wellies in an 11 and will see how those come up size wise. Uttings also presently have an additional 10% off footwear spend over £150.
got the Harkila Forester 17 Inch Zip 5mm H-Vent Wellingtons
happy so far i do like the inner soles that can come out for summer use size 45 10's i ordered 11's but came up very big so sent them back got the 45's by return from uttings had very good service
I have a pair of the Pro hunters 12". Only 2 months in, but still hugely comfortable. I have found in the past that their footwear is a fraction on the small size, so although I'm a UK size 11 wide, these boots are UK 12. With good pair of thick warm socks, they fit well.
Hope they last!

Life's been a bit dull since I handed in my thesis (which went very well!), but it was broken by the pleasant opportunity to give a tour of the Cast Gallery (the most visible part of the Museum of Classical Archaeology at Cambridge).
The Cast Gallery is nestled above the foyer of the Classics Faculty and is really pretty awesome. I have to admit though, 'pretty awesome' was not how I first thought of the Cast Gallery. I think my thoughts were more along the lines of, 'I'm in frickin' Cambridge, and the best you can do, Classics Faculty, are some plaster casts?' (Being in Magic Fairy Tale Unicorn Land gave me some unreasonable expectations… 1). After I gave the Cast Gallery a good look around, however, I realized that it was pretty much one of the most awesome tools I could expect to have as a Classicist. Oh, you'd like a look at the Farnese Heracles? Screw the textbook, how about we just go have at the full-sized 3 dimensional copy chillin' upstairs?
To give you an idea of what I mean by full-size, I'm about eye-level with his wrist (though wrist wasn't the first thing I thought of when I thought of things I'm eye-level with on that particular statue). I am rather short, but you've got to admit that's pretty impressive.
I learned that in the Victorian Era it was rather common to make plaster casts of famous Greek and Roman Statues and to collect them at Universities so students could study the Classical artwork first hand. Though it seems like excess to us today (you'll note that 'Cast Galleries' are not particularly common anymore…), they were the most practical means of going about Classical Art at the time. Photographs weren't really a thing, you wouldn't want to be dependent on an artist's interpretation or expect a drawing of every statue that was found, and traveling around Europe to see the actual item was certainly not a practicality for most (even the wealthy Oxbridge stereotype (far more common then than now, thank the gods)). So the cast galleries arose as the next best thing.
Today, however, we can still find a cast gallery incredibly useful: we get a 360 view of the cast, we can see famous art up close and we really get a sense of the scale of the items, we can see pediments and groups which are separated into different museums now together as they would have been in the Classical period, sometimes the casts were made before modern damage was done to the original, and we can paint on the casts to try to emulate what they might have looked like to the Roman or Greek viewer.
If we consider the Farnese Heracles again, the cast gallery gives us the chance to pop around to the back and take a look at the apples he's hiding in his right hand. A 360 view can give us a lot of information about the statue that we wouldn't otherwise have gotten. We can ask interesting questions about the 3 dimensions of the object – for example the Roman copy of this statue was displayed in the Baths of Carcalla. The guide sold by the Cast Gallery asks us, "Do you think it mattered that viewers could not walk around the statue – or take a peep at the apples hidden behind Heracles' back?"
Also incredibly impressive is scale. This first is me standing next to the Samian Kouros. I'm 5'3/4″ (I've included a full shot of him too):
This second is the East Pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. I haven't been able to take or find a photo that does it justice. The thing is just huge, it's amazing to be able to look around behind the sculptures – I don't know how well it's visible on the original, but it's pretty cool to be able to see the groping Centaur's leg wrapping around the damsel in distress. And when you see a pediment of that scale…and then imagine it just chilling on the top of a temple, you really get a frisson – the merest reflection of what it must have been like for the Greeks as they approached it.
It's also exciting to mess around with casts a bit – here's an example of how a koure might have looked painted:
Though it's reasonably well known now that our Romantic ideal of gleaming white Classical sculpture is a farce, it is still shocking to see the bright colors that seem almost garish to the modern eye. Here's a good article on it if this is news to you: That Classic White Sculpture Once Had a Paint Job. On a related note, the Philadelphia Art Museum has really captured what painted sculpture might have looked like to the Classical eye:
I also recommend doing a google image search of 'Philadelphia Art Museum Frieze', because there are several stunning photos of it on flikr that I can't post here :(
So this was the gallery I gave a tour of on Thursday and Friday of last week. I'm not sure if the previous content of my blog has made this clear, but I'm not an art history person. I found, however, that it was actually not too difficult to show people around the gallery. In one of our cases of actual artifacts, we had a bronze strigil and several aryballoi. The aryballoi contained the oil the athletes would clean themselves with, and the strigil was used for scraping the oil off. After showing these items in the case, it was fun to get our guests to try to find the statues depicting these items.
The first shows an athlete actually using the tool shown in the case, which was a nice way to link physical items to the somewhat more symbolic nature of culture depicted in sculpture. It was nice to show in the second figure that we could identify him as an athlete because he had a strigil and aryballos depicted beside him.
A fun example of the medium of a cast giving us freedom to experiment with Classical sculpture is epitomized in the giant Athene sculpture you may remember I dedicated my thesis to (in this post). Here's a better photo of her from the side:
This Athene does not actually exist as a piece of Classical work – it was a composite meant to emulate Athena Parthenos and gives a suggestion of what she might have looked like. Because before photoshop, if you wanted to stick together bits of different sculptures, you had to stick together bits of different sculptures :)
I think my favorite piece in the cast gallery though is from the Aegina Pediments. I love the Classical smiles on the wounded soldiers:
They seem to be thinking, 'Oh dear, I seem to be mortally wounded. Well, that is a bit inconvenient.'
When placed in contrast to the Dying Gaul or the Laocoön, they seem almost comedic:
So, if you happen to be in the vicinity of Cambridge at some point, I highly recommend visiting the Cast Gallery. Giving tours of it was one of the more unexpectedly rewarding experiences of my time here. Before my brief time touring, I really couldn't have cared less about Classical Art. I can't believe how quickly that changed the second I gave a tour of that gallery. I'm really looking forward to getting to know my Classical Art better. Also, if you happen to visit the Cast Gallery, I highly recommend the little guide book they sell for £5. It has highlighted 15 pieces from the museum and not only gives an engaging discussion about each piece, but also provides questions to suggest ways you might approach the piece – and it does it in a way that is not patronizing or childish. This is a guidebook that was clearly written as much as a guide for adults and Classicists as for school groups. Best five quid I've spent in a while.
1. I say this purely as a joke. To those of you who think Cambridge is full of posh prigs, I have to assume you've never spent any time with Cambridge students. I'm not saying they don't exist here, but I would like to emphasize that we do not come here expecting port, three course formals, and fancy balls, and if we seem to enjoy them, it think you'll find that you would too if someone said, "Here, have fancy food and wine for £8, oh and also go to probably the best party of your life in June to celebrate your exams being done." And like anyone who is routinely exposed to these things, you will get jaded and come to expect them…at Cambridge. I've not heard any stories of Cantabrigians who go home and insist on cheese and port after every meal. I think a lot of the antagonism toward Oxbridge comes from its heritage (originally, admittedly posh) and not from any recent empirical evidence. Sorry – it's a sore spot for me.

We've all been there: You're sitting at your desk, work is dragging on a bit, and your mind starts wandering towards that pack of cookies you spotted in the staff kitchen earlier or the half a cereal bar that's smushed up in your bag.
You can almost guarantee that by the time your post-lunch slump kicks in, around 3 p.m or 4 p.m., you'll find yourself in front of an open fridge, mindlessly picking at a block of cheese, a bunch of grapes, or the remains of last night's dinner.
If you're nodding along in recognition of yourselves here, you're not alone! But are you really always hungry or is there something more complicated behind your constant desire for food? We asked some experts, "Why am I always hungry?"
MUST-SEE: This Is the Hot Drink That Will Speed Up Your Weight Loss
Watch Roseanne Barr's waistline shrink right before your eyes!
"There are lots of different reasons that a person may feel hungry," says dietician Chloe Miles from the British Dietetics Association. "These include your body actually needing fuel, emotional issues, boredom, dehydration, lack of sleep, as well as many other reasons," she says.
So hunger can either be physical, emotional, or a mixture of the two — and, according to Frida Harju, the in-house nutritionist at health app Lifesum, "It's not easy to distinguish between them as they feel pretty much the same."
Despite this, both experts agree that it's important to ask yourself questions to identify why you're craving food. Does your stomach actually feel empty and rumbly — which suggests true hunger — or are you tired, bored, anxious, or in need of comfort?
"Food is also often linked to certain occasions or celebrations — for example, associating ice cream with hot weather — or used as a reward," Miles says.
"Finding non-food rewards can be a good idea, and some people also find it helpful to rate their hunger on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is extremely hungry and 10 is extremely full. Only eat when your hunger is around 5 or less," she suggests.
MUST-SEE: This Easy Trick Helps You Reduce Belly Fat Effortlessly
If you're not sure how hungry you actually are, Harju says: "Try waiting for 5-10 minutes and see if the urge to snack is still there." Get yourself a cup of tea or glass of water to drink as well, she suggests, "as a lot of the time when we feel hunger, we are actually thirsty."
As a general rule, Miles says you can avoid feeling hungry throughout the day by making sure you eat regular, balanced meals. "These meals should include protein, starchy carbohydrates, and some fruit or vegetables," she says.
"Protein can help us to feel fuller, and including whole grains, such as whole meal pasta, gives our bodies a slow release of energy to use throughout the day," she adds. "Protein-rich snacks, such as nuts or rice cakes with hummus, can help you to feel full if you do need a snack."
Harju also recommends eating regularly, and at around the same time each day if possible. "Start with a good healthy breakfast, followed by a light snack — some fruit or a handful of almonds or other nuts. Then a filling lunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner," she suggests.
MUST-SEE: How to Lose Belly Fat Without Feeling Hungry
Eating on the go can be another big problem, Miles says. "A lot of us eat on the run or pick while we're cooking. This doesn't really give our mind time to acknowledge that we've eaten, so we may not feel as full as if we had sat down and taken our time over a meal," she explains.
"I wouldn't encourage people to write down what they're eating all of the time, however it can help you identify reasons for eating and moments where you're eating without thinking," she adds.
Naturally, Harju recommends using health apps like Lifesum to track your eating and drinking habits. "Tracking can help you to keep a routine, see when you haven't eaten enough, and what you should be eating more of. This can be really handy if you're trying to obtain a healthy lifestyle," she says.
"Remember that we all have different habits, and snacking doesn't have to be bad as long as you keep it under control and try to opt for healthier options," Harju adds.

For Mystic
Here it is. Hope this would soothe her anger a little. Her day had seemed to end with some frustrations and anger, and though that was not of any fault of yours truly, I would try what I could as a friend if by doing so helps her feel better and find perspective. This is a perspective that one would not find on the ground. Hope it would soothe Mystic.
I beg for your forgiveness if you were ever to feel jealous with Mystic. For a post dedicated to her.
There is certainly no reason to. As I have said in one of my posts on Mistipurple's blog, I am likely not more charming than most other people and fellow bloggers. I won't even dare to make a single claim that I would win the every affection of whoever reads this blog. The point is if anyone were to feel jealous, it was absolutely not intended to be.

Hi Mystic, welcome. It has been a while since I saw you commenting on my blog.
Well said my friends, both of you have incidentally read and got one of those hidden messages in this post. The picture was meant to be shared with everyone in blogger land.
Of course, dedicated to my friend Mystic, for it was specially selected for the occasion, for her. And I am certain that it would please Mystic that such a nice photo is being shared with as many people as possible. =)

On Saturday this crew woke up very early to
take Bailey on her first visit ever to the
American Girl Doll Store
in Charlotte.
Back in January I shared my
Click Here to read.
One of those resolutions was for Bailey
to start going to bed by herself.
She has been doing great...of course with a little bribe and that bribe was this magical day!
Road trip selfie and the hubs is like...really!
It was a 4 hour drive, but so worth it.
Bailey was so excited.
A quick pic before we head into the madness.
When you walk into the store it's just unbelievable...you don't know which way to go.
They have American Girl Dolls displayed all over the store.
Another cute display.
Bailey was excited to see Grace,
the 2015 American Girl Doll of the year.
She's all smiles!
Madison and Bailey in line to get her doll, Isabel's
hair done.
Yep they have a little salon to get your doll's hair
all pretty!
Bailey chose a waterfall braid for her doll.
Close up on Isabel.
Bailey enjoyed watching the lady
braid Isabel's hair.
She looks great.
We shopped around and Bailey decided on a few things to purchase. This American Girl Pet with a carrier was a must and she also got an outfit and a book.
We had reservations at the American Girl Bistro.
I think this was Bailey's favorite part.
They have high chairs for the dolls to sit at the bar with you.
Everything is very pink and so girly!
We're ready to order.
Strawberry Smoothie was delicious.
and Isabel received her very own smoothie also.
Bailey got to keep the little plate and cup.
Bailey ordered chicken tenders and fed her doll as well.
It was a great day spent with my loves!
Thanks to Daddy for taking us.
We all enjoyed seeing Bailey's excitement!
We will definitely be going back!
Thanks for reading!
Have a great day.
Keep up with me everyday.

Brain. Hurts. Can't. Think. Thanks to an all-day headache on Saturday, I didn't see the movie I wanted to see, or write the pages I wanted to complete, or go to the birthday party I wanted to attend. Which is why I spent Sunday trying to do twice as much and barely getting any of it done. And all that undone stuff is giving me another headache.
Duh. You think we're not in the middle of a recession when crap like this happens? My God--$270 million is only a little bit more than the price of an apartment on the Upper East Side.

The sale reminds me of when Sir Richard Branson offered a cheque for $AU1.00 (yes, a dollar) to Ansett (2nd largest Australian Airline) when they were going under. Cheeky bugger.
I could accept $2 per share/$270 Mil for a failing business, but for the price to include a *skyscraper*..? Something is just not right there....

To Kill A Mockingbird
Dominic Florence
People have to make decisions everyday. Decisions such as what to wear, what to eat, or what kind of car to buy. I had to recently make a decision about whether to cut my hair or grow it long for hockey season, i decided to grow it long for hockey. When i get later on in high school i am going to have to chose what college i want to go to and what i want to master in. Maybe i'll go to a college for hockey. There are many decisions being made everyday for many different things.
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Bob Ewell made a decision to blame a poor African-american for raping his daughter, Mayella. After he blamed Tom for this raping, it turned into the greatest trial in their town. Tom got a great lawyer named Atticus Finch to defend him in court. Because Bob Ewell made terrible choices, this could end of with an innocent man in jail just because he is African-american. And even worse, Bob's daughter Mayella has to lie about what happened.
This book takes place during segregation in the Southern United states. The court room will probably be filled with all white people who will be going against Tom because he is black. So an innocent man will be sent to jail because no one believes his side of the story. Everyone in the courtroom will be racist against Tom and believe Bob because he is a white man. "Looks like she didn't have nobody to help her. I felt right sorry for her. She seemed..." Tom Robinson said in trial. Tom is saying that he didn't think she had anyone to take care of her so he was going to and then Bob accused him of rape.
"-I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin' on my Mayella!", Bob Ewell said about Tom Robinson. As you can see by this quote, even Bob is racist toward black people in the courtroom. This demonstrates how racism wasn't a big deal to white people back then, but black people took offence to it and couldn't do anything about it because they were outnumbered and would be arrested for trying to hurt a white person. But if a white guy did anything to a black guy it would be okay.
Bob Ewell tried to stab Scout, but luckily she had a Ham costume on and the mesh stopped the knife from piercing her skin. After trying to stab Scout, Boo radley came and stabbed Bob to save Scout from potentially getting stabbed again by Bob. Then Boo took the kids home and they had no idea it was him until later.Every person makes decisions every day, some dumb decisions and some smart decisions. Whether they're the wrong decisions or the right decisions, it's still a choice you made. For instance, Bob made a decision to blame a black man for raping his daughter and to try and kill a young girl. He made some bad decisions and ended up paying for it by dyeing.

On May 21 2009 there was the first indication of arrivals of the Painted Lady butterfly into Britain when members of the Butterfly Conservation began to notice large numbers off Portland Bill in Dorset. Following this date thousands were seen flying north at locations across southern England to East Anglia. There were sighting of hundreds in Central London, soon followed by more seen as far north as Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.
These butterflies originate from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco where heavy winter rains had aided good germination of the caterpillar food plants, and hundreds of thousands had been observed emerging in February 2009, large numbers had been seen in Spain during April, then later in France a few weeks later.
So there I was on Clougha 30 May 2009 and over the next five hours I counted a truly staggering 149 Painted Lady butterflies as my contribution to the count of what was claimed to have been a mass invasion of 11 million Painted Lady butterflies into the UK during the summer of 2009.
Perhaps we'd better have a couple of birdy pics for a basically birding blog....
According to the cover - in my sidebar - of the November issue of Birdwatch magazine, it looks like someone in the magazine has made some notes about the persecution of birds of prey, in particular the Hen Harrier judging by the photograph....a big up for the 'someone' and the magazine.

Good day to everyone! Please, help me in the next controversial question.
IAS 2 requires distribution expenses to be accounted as expenses of a period instead of to increase cost of goods. It is quite obvious, however, if, for instance, a company incurs transport expenses to deliver its products to customers situated in other regions or even in other countries. In this case, in my opinion it would be wrong to reflect this transport expenses as "distribution cost" of a period for the following reasons. Firstly, the moment of completion of a deal and corresponding revenue recognition can differ from the moment of transport expenses recognition. It leads to the breach of "Accrual method" and IAS 18. Second of all, the sum of such expenses enhances Income (revenue) of the seller and in the same time is not included in cost of good sold. Eventually, "swollen" trade margin confuses users of financial statements especially if the company has not made such kind of sales to other regions earlier.
What do you think about this issue?
Personally, I tend to capitalize such transport expenses and write off them only after the fact of a sale.
Best wishes,


text: We took our Structured Water Portable unit on our trip to Mexico, the main thing is that it was wonderful not to have to worry about lugging 10 days worth of bottled water for 2 people plus doggie down there with us. We stayed at our friends' beach house where people normally bring their own water or have water delivered. It's so nice to be self-sufficient with it all, and know we are safe even when washing fruit and veggies and dishes, because when in Mexico, it's not just about drinking the water. (How many people who go down there are going to wash with bottled water?) The water tasted great and felt as good to drink as being at home. We've been back for a week now and never did get Montezuma's revenge or any indication that the water we structured was anything but totally safe to drink. Thanks!

Regardless of the number of regions, up to three stopovers are allowed with each All Aboard ticket.
Amtrak`s One Way Plus $7 Return fare is economical for medium- and short- distance travel when no change of trains is involved. For example, a one-way fare from Chicago to Cincinnati is $57 plus $7 for the return, or a total of $64.

The package price, guaranteed in American dollars, is available for passengers on eastbound Sabena flights from Chicago and several other cities to Brussels. Air fare is extra.

Those of you that follow me on Twitter (can i say wow there are a lot of you and a lot that i don't recognize!) know that i have a new obsession. I am in LOVE with Facebook's application Farm Town. Wow is this game addicting. I love the mindlessness of it all and how scary it is that i could play this thing all the time. I have gotten my sister addicted to it as well. What's not to love about a game where you send animals and trees to your neighbors, plow and harvest crops and harvest other peoples crops for coins. Sounds fascinating doesn't it?
I enjoy it so much that i have quadrupled the size of my farm. Now it takes forever for my farm to load up. I love how the animals all do different things and how it looks like the dogs follow your avatar around. The only thing that i would change is the speed. The server gets so bogged down with the number of people playing and your avatar starts moving at the slowest possible speed. It is so frustrating. I would say that it is my connection, but i have one of the fastest connections possible and no other game runs like this. Plus there are many people that talk about the speed of the game in the forum offered. I think to it would be fun if there were more things to do in terms of your crops or maybe the chickens could lay eggs or the cows could give milk to make the game more interactive. However, for the time being the game is fun and super addictive!
Yes i know it sounds a bit lame, but trust me it is fun.
Join Farm Town today and add me as your neighbor!

TGIF again right? Even if it feels like it takes light years for Friday to get here, as we wade through the week in its chaotic minutes of frustration, it always arrives eventually right? (Or hey, maybe that's just me and you have spectacular Monday-Friday situations from the hours of 6am to 5pm that you just can't wait to head to and if so: yay for you!) I'm aware my posts have been pretty photo heavy lately, but I've documented a lot on my phone and then I realize hey! why am I not sharing this? So today, I give you some shots from last Friday (and maybe I'll include a few from the rest of the weekend.
After work, and a run on Friday afternoon I headed over to Rail Road Square with my brother and his friend JT. We met up with my girlfriends Amber and Megan. It was First Friday, so RR was full of food trucks (my faves) and all the shops are open late! We wandered around (I found a cute Lacoste skirt ($12) at Wonsaponatime and a pair of red linen pants and some polka dot H&M shorts ($10 total!) at Twice Around the Square.) I'd had quite the craving for mac-n-cheese last week and finally got some from the delicious Street Chefs truck! Umm, also during our wandering I saw that there is now a Turnovers food truck! They have sweet ones, and meaty ones (like empanadas!) Crazy, but awesome. The guys left to go watch the Heat game, so we sat up on the wall and ate our snacks, and chatted and people watched. There was a girl belly dancing next to us in a teal Jasmine-esque costume, and a guy wandering around wearing a beer barrel. That's how it goes…
The Cravings Truck was back at RR (their specialty is chicken and waffles!) If you haven't, go try their red velvet with cream cheese glaze mm-mmm! Though my favorite so far was probably the nutella with sliced banana!
The boys surveying their options at Fat Mac's Cafe.
Just hanging out on a ledge.
Too bad I ate all my mac before I could show it to you…
Following our RR escapades, we headed over to the Hop Yard, where we enjoyed some beer in mason jars and the awesome music stylings of Bounce House. They have a great bluesy-bluegrass sound. I would love to see them play again soon!
I just love the lights they have strung up out there. Then have a grassy hill, some people bring blankets to hang out on plus all these picnic tables. I always feel like I'm at a summer BBQ, which I love too.
Amber and me.
So simple, but so awesome. I can't remember the name of the beer I had (probably because I couldn't pronounce it.) It started with an "F" and was really hoppy (ie: delish.)
Me and Megan.
With Amber again. Love that girl! Too bad I didn't take any photos from our alum night on Tuesday or we'd have had some then!
The rest of my weekend was just spent kind of relaxing. I ran some errands on Saturday, went for a run and hung out by the pool. I watched You've Got Mail and went to sleep kind of early. Sunday I heard a great sermon from Michael Mears about pride in our hearts and genuine prayers (click the link to watch the video) at City Church. Went to lunch with some friends from church, and spent the rest of the afternoon chilling with the fam. We went to Big Easy Snowballs made a dinner of pizza and salad together (I'm kind of a pizza fanatic lately, and hadn't eaten any since NYC!) and watched The Jubilee coverage and the specials on Kate & Harry on CNN. *swoon* I'd call that a good weekend, though it felt like it flew by!
Saw this at Marshall's on Saturday (apparently Amber bought it for her room! Great minds 😉 But really, good advice I should take to heart and putting into action in my own life.
Found these at Walmart, they were the only box on the shelf tucked behind a bunch of normal boxes! (Though I do just enjoy Barnum's boxes in general – they're so fun with the little carrying handle. And let's face it, I'm a perpetual child…)
Snowball from Big Easy. A combo of the hurricane flavor and coconut cream!
Saw this at Walmart, too. If it wasn't $12 I probably would have picked it up. I'm fascinated by secret societies!
The hot light was on (and yes I do have the hot light locator app on my phone,) so we picked some up to enjoy while watching the Royal Family coverage!
The Key Lime Pie donut (summer limited edition I think?) with graham cracker crumbles is DELICIOUS if you were wondering!
So, there you have it. A little recap just in time (almost) to start the weekend over again. Hope it's lovely for all of you! Any exciting plans?

Asbestos Removal By Jason Gluckman
Many buildings hold the presence of carcinogenic Asbestos which was used in thermal system insulation and numerous other materials. Before the ban on "popcorn ceilings" in the United States in 1978, its use was a common practice in the construction of homes. The "popcorn ceiling" is a source of the dangerous Asbestos, and therefore initiates a health need to remove the Asbestos present in the home and get the same verified in a competent laboratory. Asbestos might also be found in homes built as late as 1986, and therefore initiates a need of even their inspection. It is essential to determine the location of Asbestos, and them remove and dispose of it. After removal, a proper disposal is crucial. The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division regulates the disposal of Asbestos as a solid waste. The requirements presented in this brief account on asbestos removal applies to Asbestos containing waste and is not inclusive of Category I and Category II non-friable Asbestos waste that has not been reduced, crumbled, or pulverized to powder.

This article is so informative! Asbestos is indeed a very harmful chemical. This can actually cause the possibility of cancer in one is exposed to this chemical for a period of time. Removal of asbestos is very important and the right party to handle this are the professionals. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Breaking "rules"
Ah-ha, you say! It's wrong to make a sky that is divided "evenly" like this...but I used some artistic license here and went for it. What is there to be afraid of? I meant to change the sky to have more varied shapes--but then I elected to leave it just as it is! I put this in a frame tonight--(for the paint-out exhibit tomorrow) and it is one of my favorite plein air results of the summer.
Come to Mt. Tabor this weekend to see it in person! It is one of the 5 paintings I am submitting.

January 2 – One of the fiercest rivalries in European club football, dubbed the "eternal derby", has made headlines once again for all the wrong reasons.
A few days before Christmas Partizan Belgrade "welcomed" Red Star Belgrade to the Stadion Partizana though that was perhaps the least apt description of the atmosphere as play was interrupted because of clashes between fans.
Supporters threw smoke bombs on the pitch before engaging in a mass brawl with a spate of arrests and at least 20 people suffering injuries.

text: So I won the photo shoot instagram giveaway and posted those photos a few posts back, but when I won that I had already scheduled family pics with one of my closest friends, Ashley Reese. (who is an AMAZING photographer. She took Halle's newborn photos.) So we just did both. I remember a friend telling me soon after having Halle that you could never take too many family pictures, and how much of a treasure they are. So we took these too, and Kevin was SUCH a good sport. What a good husband. :) I absolutely LOVE the way these turned out and I want to frame them all over my home. But not enough that it looks like we're totally full of ourselves. ;) Again, Halle made it very clear that she hates photoshoots, but Ashley worked her magic and got some great ones regardless. I love my family!
