Top 5 Qualities of a Great Property Manager
It may be an overused phrase but it's the number one thing that all property managers need to have. Excellent communication! This doesn't just mean communicating with their tenants, but also with clients, vendors and even internal communication. Let's say a tenant calls with a maintenance request, this now immediately puts you in the situation of needing to communicate with 3 different people: the tenant about their request, the owner to get approval and with the vendor to get everything scheduled appropriately. One miss-step and this whole situation can become a nightmare. Plus, if you don't keep the rest of your office abreast of the situation, then they could be calling a different vendor, or updating the owner/tenants with inaccurate information. Great property managers recognize this and strive to keep the lines of communication open with all their contacts.
Great property managers think about things from multiple options and question every situation they are in. Whether it be investigating why a long-term tenant has suddenly given notice, or looking at their current marketing strategies and looking into other options to see if they are getting the most bang for their buck. "They're not afraid to ask questions, do research, and delegate to others the task of finding solutions" (Courtenay, 2017). It's in the nature of most people in this field to want to understand why some things work and others don't so that they can make sure that all of their clients and tenants are getting the absolute best options available.
Humility is one of those traits that often gets overlooked or misconstrued as a lack of confidence. "With their humility comes a sense of altruism and a desire to know they are making a positive contribution to society" (Courtenay, 2017). This is a trait that great property managers have because if they don't they often come across as over-confident or even condescending when trying to explain things. Property Managers can't be driven by their egos or we would never be able to bite our tongues when a tenant or a client pushes us to the edge. We must be able to admit responsibility for mistakes and sometimes take the brunt of a tenant's frustration even when we have no control over a situation.
Organization is very import throughout all aspects of our lives, but it's also one of the most important traits that property managers can have. We need to have information readily available for clients, owners, vendors and realtors depending on who we are working with at the time. Without organization, something important will fall through the cracks. Luckily, the era that we're currently in encourages use of technology to assist in staying organized. It allows us access to cloud based storage of information and property management software. As well as, general access to all the information on our properties. Sure beats having to search through paperwork or binders to find. Technology is a property manager's best friend when it comes to staying organized.
Flexibility.. and the lack thereof
As a property manager we must be flexible and be able to go with the flow. When an owner or a vendor calls with a last-minute change to a long-term project, you have to be able to jump on board and start assisting them. You need to get the situation resolved in the most efficient way possible. On the flip side of that coin, we need to know when we can't be firm. It is okay to allow some leeway for a long term, good paying tenant if they have a 'situation' come up. However, when it becomes a habit you have to know when to put your foot down. It's a balancing act that having too much of one or the other can cause you to topple. A great property manager knows just the right balance of flexibility to have. They also know when someone is trying to take advantage of that.

Venturini Motorsports' Gateway Recap: Near Miss at Win for Eckes, Breidinger Shows Competitiveness in Second Series Start, Decker Rebounds After Getting Wrecked
Concord, NC (June 23, 2018) – Christian Eckes led the way for Venturini Motorsports' trio of drivers, finishing fourth in Friday night's Papa Nicholas Coffee 150 at Gateway Motorsports Park during his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards return.
Teammates Toni Breidinger finished 12th and Natalie Decker salvaged a top-15 finish after getting spun out nearing the midway point of ARCA's 10th event of the season.
After starting on the outside pole, Christian Eckes, led 35-laps and battled for the top spot all evening with eventual race winner Sheldon Creed. The two Toyota drivers swapped lead changes six times during the 120-lap event.
Eckes, leading late with his eyes focused on earning his second career victory, was moved up the track and out of the groove by Creed on lap-80. Unable to recover, the 17-year old Eckes regained his composure and settled for his second top-5 of the season.
"It's disappointing," said Eckes during his post race interview with FOX Sports reporter, Dillon Welch. "We had a great JBL Toyota tonight. I'm really not sure what happened down on turns one and two. But it's really unfortunate with the car we had. I'm really proud of this team."
Eckes will get another chance at Gateway glory tonight when he returns to the track behind the wheel of his No.46 Mobil 1 Tundra when he makes his second career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start with Kyle Busch Motorsports.
California native, Toni Breidinger, driver of VMS' No.20 Renton Coil Spring – Flexzilla Toyota Camry, nearly missed out on her second consecutive top-10, finished 12th in just her second ARCA start.
Team owner, Billy Venturini, commented after Breidinger's solid run under the lights.
"Shout out to Toni (Breidinger) on a solid performance tonight," said Venturini. "She's got very little big car experience and yet she's already competitive. Lots to build on. I'm looking forward to watching her at Chicago next week."
Set to celebrate her 21st birthday on Monday, Natalie Decker's solid Gateway performance was spoiled after being tagged and sent hard into the outside wall by a competitor entering turn one on lap-65.
Sustaining heavy right side damage to her No.25 N29 Capital Partners – YAMAHA Power Products Toyota, Decker's pit crew went to work with repairs, allowing the rookie driver to finish. "I'm not happy at all," said Decker about the on-track incident. "I get it. It's racing. But when you get wrecked with a good car like we had tonight it's not a good feeling. We'll be back – on to Chicago."
The next race for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards is the SCOTT 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on Thursday June 28. Practice will start on Thursday at 3 pm ET/2 pm CT, with General Tire Pole Qualifying scheduled for 6:35 pm ET/5:35 pm CT. The green flag will fly over round 11 of the 2018 season at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT; the race will be televised live on FS1.

November 23, 2010: An early Apple-1 computer, complete with its original packaging and a letter signed by Steve Jobs, sells for $210,000.
At the time the most expensive personal computer ever sold at auction, the working Apple-1 is thought to be one of only around 50 thought to still exist.
The Apple-1 unit in question was sold to Italian businessman and private collector Marco Boglione, who owned an extensive archive of personal computers, including other rare Apple models.
"I'm a guy that has been dealing with these machines, let me say loving these machines, and really being attached to these machines, since I was a kid," sportswear company owner Boglione told The Seattle Times in an interview shortly thereafter.
He announced that the Apple-1 was going to Italy's Museum of the Information Technology Revolution, in his hometown, for display.
Steve Wozniak was on hand for the Apple-1 auction, and informed Boglione that the machine was in good working order.
A price worth paying
At the time, much was made of the amount of money Marco Boglione had paid for the Apple-1. 2010 represented the height of Steve Jobs' innovative run of hit products — with the iPad joining the iMac, iBook, iPod and iPhone as the products which defined Jobs' second, legendary run at Apple.
However, while the $210,000 sum paid for the Apple 1 was certainly a big increase on the computer's $666.66 selling price in July 1976 (and around 10x more than you might have paid for an Apple 1 during Apple's bad-old-days in the 1990s), it now looks like something of a bargain.
Just four years later, in 2014, another Apple-1 computer sold at auction for an incredible $905,000, between twice and three times the expected asking price of $300,000 to $500,000. While that remains the most ever spent on the machine, it certainly suggests that Boglione got a good deal for the 8k of RAM and 8-bit 6502 microprocessor computer.
Only around 200 Apple-1 units were ever built, and the number still around today is significantly smaller than that, due to both age and the fact that Apple offered a trade-in deal for the significantly upgraded Apple II when it was launched the following year in 1977.

David Alexander Smith's Paintings and Drawings
The Town Fell Asleep (number 1)
Forward to next picture >
< Back to Gallery 6
About the Picture
This painting was an initial study (although quite large) for a larger painting (The Town Fell Asleep (number 2)) which now
hangs in the foyer to the Church Street Doctor's practice in Tewksbury. The exercise was simple, to blend night and colour
in a magical way. The grid of squares each carrying its own exploration of pattern; hopefully hanging together as a midnight
tapestry. Somewhere in the back of my mind was an image of a quiet eastern European city, perhaps Prague, perhaps Warsaw.

My name is Abdul Rafiq Lartey. I am 17 years old. I am an exchange student under the Kennedy Lugar Youth and Exchange Studies and American Cultural Exchange Service (ACES). I have participated in many volunteering services throughout my stay in the United States, however, one volunteering organization caught my attention and has so far won exceptional love and favour in my heart. I heard about Books4Buddies through my friend, Birama Ndiaye from Senegal, who became an ambassador before me. My interest in the organization led me to meet the co-founder Mrs. Laneta Goings. I told her about my interest in the organization and my intention to hopefully become an ambassador, just as my friend from Senegal was. I was accepted that same day and immediately started serving with Books4Buddies as an AMBASSADOR. It has been 10 months since I became an exchange student and Books4Buddies played a major role in my growth and leadership qualities today. I have enjoyed every moment of being part of this organization not just because of my interest in it, but also because of the level of service it offers to humanity. It has definitely been a blessing to be part of this organization.
Martin Luther King Drum Major for Freedom Scholarship Breakfast
I had the opportunity to attend the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Martin Luther King Drum Major for Freedom Scholarship Breakfast in Perrysburg, Ohio earlier this year in January (2017). Actually, that was the first day I officially met Mrs. Laneta Goings. At the breakfast, I got to hear the Black National Anthem, "Lift every voice and sing," being sung in my case for the first time. It was a wonderful experience for me because I got to learn more about the several struggles the African Americans have gone through. It had a positive impact on me because there were a lot of motivational speeches by various men and women. I met very inspirational people like Ms. Rhonda Sewell who spoke personally to me and inspired me to achieve as much as I could. In addition, I got the opportunity to read the profiles of some determined students who were awarded scholarships because of their determination, talent and hard work. As of now, when I reflect back on the experience at the breakfast, I feel very fortunate because I have more experience and knowledge now and I understand more, its importance.
Speaking to Raymer Elementary School Pupils on The Importance of Education
On January 27, 2017, I had the opportunity to speak to a few classes at Raymer Elementary School about the importance of education and encourage the students to take their studies very seriously. I spoke alongside Birama Ndiaye from Senegal and Cheran Lyle, who attends Bowsher in Toledo, OH. I personally have had a deep understanding with education based on my experiences as a Ghanaian student. I am very much aware of the importance of education and its benefits, because I wouldn't be here in America without education in the first place. I was very elated at the offer to speak to these young leaders and to inspire them to push hard and achieve their goals in life. I was nervous at first to speak to the students but I had to overcome the nervousness due to the realization of the importance of me sharing my experience with them. I knew even before I had began speaking that they would be astonished by how my school life was in Ghana. I was very honored to speak because the TPS superintendent Dr. Romules Durant was present in the classroom. As I spoke, there was complete silence in the room. The students were very attentive. They kept asking so many interesting questions about how education is in Ghana. In addition to speaking on the importance of education, I also encouraged the students to keep focused and make use of the facilities available to them here in America. I told them about how much it saddened me when I saw students here not taking advantage of the better educational facilities available to them because I knew how it was to study theoretically and not practically.
The staff at the school treated us very well and snacks were provided for us which I really appreciated. It was a wonderful day to me and the experience was one that definitely helped me improve on my public speaking and leadership skills. I will be forever grateful to Books4Buddies for choosing me and Birama to speak to these young leaders whom the future world will depend on.
Angela Davis Black History Month Celebration
Thanks to Mrs. Laneta Goings, I had the chance to participate in the Black History Month celebration and soul food luncheon at the University of Toledo, where I met the Civil Rights Activist, Angela Yvonne Davis. I was blessed with the opportunity to listen to her speech. I learned so much from her speech. I realised that I knew nothing during and after her speech. She hammered so much onevents pertaining to racism and police brutality. She also talked on her experiences as a Civil Rights Activist. She spoke so passionately and emotionally and I realised she had been through so many tough times, and to meet and listen to such a survivor made me feel very fortunate. I had the opportunity to speak personally with Angela Davis for a short while, and she was a wonderful person. Everything I learned during this day up to now still inspires me and I believe that her experiences will continue to be an inspiration for me to achieve my goals in life, and to be a contributor to the rise in the status of Africans the world.
Books4buddies, Meet and Greet
I participated in this year's Books4Buddies, Meet and Greet at the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. It was wonderful. I got the chance to meet the other ambassadors. I had originally seen many social media posts of them collecting books and I was astonished by how many books they've collected. I was very eager to meet them due to their tireless efforts in making the organization stand with the prestige it has as of now. I had, still have, and will continue to have maximum respect for them due to their dedication to serving humanity. The meeting was very successful and I was glad once again to have had the chance to share my experiences as a student in Ghana with them. They were very nice people and they were brilliant as well. I hope to keep on working alongside with them even when I go back to Ghana. I received a 'Certificate of Participation' as an exchange student for which I am most grateful. I believe that it is just the beginning, because I have a vision that is going to take Books4Buddies to a whole new level.
I am very happy to have been a part of this organization and I look forward to being a contributing factor to its success. It is my intention to start a chapter of this organization in Ghana and I am hoping all goes well and that can be achieved. I am a proud representative of this r and I believe, that not only my shirt but my lifestyle, will reflect this organization everywhere I go. Once an AMBASSADOR, always an AMBASSADOR!

Where's Waldo??
I always go and see my Father on Monday's and Wednesday's after work. Then, depending on every one's schedule, I try and go again either on Friday or Saturday.
Background information: My Father suffered a heart attack in August. We found out about it when we disembarked our cruise. It has been utter chaos ever since. Dad had many problems besides the heart attack. He had a kidney stone, terribly low oxygen levels and now he was dealing with a newly inserted pace maker. In short, he was in intensive care for WEEKS! Following that he went to a normal hospital room for a while and then to a rehab floor prior to his release.
Feeling horrible, he decided he wanted to die and just stopped eating or drinking anything! I cried. I screamed. I pleaded with him using guilt tactics such as what a terrible example he was setting for my husband who was also fighting an illness that leaves him feeling horrible sometimes. Both of my brothers also tried talking to him but NOTHING WORKED!. I was so discouraged. It has been 2 days. I knew it would not be long before he would be in dangerous territory. I went to go and see him on day 3 and to my amazement - when I arrived, he was sitting at the dining room table with my oldest brother James, and drinking a glass of orange juice. Are you ready for what changed his mind??? James told him that he was not giving him enough time to get Dad's finances in order and if he died right now, the government would get a LOT of his money!
As it turns out, Dad had entered a dangerous territory and he did have to be readmitted into intensive care - where we just started all over again...
Fast forward several more weeks. Dad was released from the hospital's rehab floor because he 'would not' do the 4 hours of rehab work required for him to stay there. He was sent to a place called University Place. It was located right next to an assisted living facility and a hospital.
The first time I walked into this place my heart sank. This was not the lovely assisted living area, where there were nice carpets, beautiful lighting fixtures and elegant furnishings.. no - this was PURE NURSING HOME! Don't misunderstand me. It was clean. It did not smell. The staff was courteous... BUT overall, it was a sad and lonely place.
Dad was sent to this specific facility because of their rehab program though .. not because of their furnishings..and I had to remind myself of this over and over and over again. This was temporary. Weeks passed and I have to say that from the time he arrived, weighing less than I do and refusing to open the shades preferring to stay in a dark room.. he has improved. His natural pink coloring of his skin has returned, he has put on some weight and several times he has had an optimistic tone in his voice.
The next step though was not to rush into sending him back home alone.. but to migrate him into assisted living and continue physical therapy and hopefully continue to progress. Dad had expressed a desire to go to Brighton Gardens. It is here where my Grandmother, his Mother, spent the last years of her life. It was also here where my Mother worked as an interior designer, helping people decide which of their home furnishings to bring and how to best arrange them. Brighton Gardens had many good memories for us.
The time had come and Dad told us he was going to be moving, probably the following Monday. He was ready telling everyone he was happy to have a change of atmosphere. I knew though that at this time, since he was still having trouble getting around on his own and still on oxygen, he would be going to the back part of Brighton Gardens and not the front section - where he would essentially have his own apartment.
Friday, work for me was busy and when the day ended, I drove over to University Place thinking this would be the last time. I parked my car and walked in the doors. I learned several weeks back that if I use the stairs, I could avoid walking through the patients on the first floor that were not exactly "sound of mind". After having one patient grab at my clothes and several others chattering gibberish at me as I passed, it became my least favorite time. Once I described it as walking through the set of "The Night of the Living Dead"! Anyway - I found the back way that avoided this area and I cheerfully ran up the stairs. I walked to Dad's room, only to be greeted my an elderly Asian man. I looked over his shoulder to see my Fathers room, clean, empty of his possessions and the bed neatly made up. I walked to the nursing station and they advised me Dad left with James just an hour or so ago.
I thanked them for taking such good care of Dad and walked back down to the car. I sat for a moment trying to think of the easiest way to navigate to Brighton Gardens. I started the car and left. I was kind of excited for Dad.
As I entered the parking lot, I easily found a parking spot and was thankful that the entire lot was well lit, something that was not provided for the visitors of University Place. I walked into the main entrance and it was alive with activity. Music was playing, residents were eating in the luxurious dining room, elderly people were walking and talking. There was even cages of song birds and a dog that wandered from resident to resident with a tail that never stopped wagging. I smiled. I knew Dad was not in this area, but the thought that he could graduate to this made me feel wonderful.
I made my way back to the higher care area. I stopped at the nursing desk and asked them where my Fathers room was. They looked at me inquisitively and asked me to spell his name. I did and stood there waiting.
"I am sorry, but we do not have a resident by that name here." the nurse advised me.
"Are you sure because he would have just been admitted today." I responded.
She picked up the phone and called to confer her statement. After hanging up she said, "I am sorry, but your Father is not here. In fact we only had one new resident check in today and it was a woman."
I thanked her for her assistance and went back out to my car...which is where I thought to myself.."I feel like I am playing a game of Where's Waldo!"
I called James and told him where I was.
"Where is Dad?" I asked.
He proceeded to tell me that they had a change of plans and Dad was now living in another facility called The Plaza. He said there were problems with admitting him into Brighton Gardens and they changed their minds. He gave me directions. I hung up and started my drive to The Plaza.
Traffic was bad because I drove right past one of the largest shopping areas in Houston and it is only 1 week before Christmas! As I approached Dad's new residence, I felt good. It was off of the main streets and seemed quiet. There was another restricted living facility next door and some nice looking apartments across the street. Walking in, it was elegantly decorated for Christmas. A concierge greeted me at the entrance that made me feel it was more secure. There were trays of cookies, juice and coffee around every turn.
I walked down the hall to the elevators. This place was just as elegant as Brighton Gardens, only lacking the bustle of residential activity. In fact, I only saw one gentleman. It looked as though he had fallen asleep in his wheel chair waiting for the elevator....
Dad's room was nice, painted white with yellow floral fabrics. The view from his window was of the gardens below. I stayed with him for several hours, helping him unpack and get settled in. I met some of the staff and all seemed quite friendly. I don't yet have a real feel for the place, but I pray that he is happy there. I guess having wandering dogs and cages of birds would not change his opinion. For the time I lived with him, he objected to me having plants .. not to mention an actual living animal! If it were me though, that alone would have made all the difference.
So take note - my darling children.. when I grow old and feeble and need to be placed in a home.. please look for one that has many living creatures to which I may interact. For that is a large substance of my happiness.

:) its funny how we all have our own differences of what constitutes "bliss" for us...im sure your dad will enjoy his new surroundings...and I did have to giggle at the thought of his "recovery" - the government will get his money lol - to each his own lol but it does sound like the wise thinking of a true hardworking man :) He still wants to take care of his kids...
And youre right, we do need to tell those we leave in charge of what our expectations are when the time comes!

We do this through:
This is done through whole class reading of shared texts, guided and smaller group work, partner group and for some children with 1:1 teaching and support according to their reading ability and needs.
Reading and Phonics
Our primary approach to phonics is the Read Write Inc programme for Foundation Stage and KS1 with some children accessing this programme as intervention in KS2.
Our primary reading scheme for FS and early KS1 is Oxford Reading Tree. We use these reading books to support the teaching and learning of phonics, which is the primary approach to teaching early reading.
In addition to this phonics based scheme, we also use a range of other books which support the teaching of further reading and comprehension skills. These include:
We also teach from a wide range of levelled picture books, information books and chapter books by independent authors.
In KS2, we continue to teach reading using books from the list above but as children become more competent fluent readers, we also use a wider range of novels and extended texts to challenge and interest them at an age appropriate level through a book study.
We are using clarifying techniques to find out the meaning of new words we come across.
New words we clarified as part of our work on The Sheep Pig were:- developments, education, despite and hazard.

Persistent supply tightness pushes Singapore high sulfur fuel oil cracks to record highs
Growing supply tightness in the Singapore fuel oil market, coupled with weakening crude prices, pushed Singapore high sulfur fuel oil cracks to all-time highs Tuesday.
The front-month December Singapore 180 CST HSFO swap crack against Dubai swaps hit an all-time of $4.61/b as of 4:30 pm Singapore time (0830 GMT) Tuesday, S&P Global Platts data showed. Similarly, the December 380 CST swap crack against Dubai swaps also hit an all-time of $3.94/b, Platts data showed.
Singapore 380 CST HSFO December/January spread has also widened to a three-year high of $11.80/mt Tuesday, Platts data showed. The front-month time spread was last higher on May 29, 2015, when it was assessed at $13.25/mt.
The HSFO market in Singapore has been faced with supply tightness over the past few months, and expectations of the tightness extending into December pushed cracks to an all-time high, market sources said.
Residue stocks in Singapore have been low due to a lack of cargo replenishment.
Singapore's residue stocks fell 1.6% from a week earlier to 15.821 million barrels in the week ended November 14, latest data from Enterprise Singapore showed. The stocks were also 32.8% lower than the average of 23.537 million barrels in 2017, the data showed.
Enterprise Singapore describes total stocks of heavy distillates as residues, which include cracked, straight-run fuel oil and low sulfur waxy residue. The data only counts stocks in onshore tanks.
Singapore imported 6.04 million mt of fuel oil in the five weeks ended October 31, data from Enterprise Singapore showed, and the country exported 1.72 million mt of fuel oil in the same period.
Traders expect Singapore to receive around 6 million mt from the West of Suez and the Persian Gulf in November. "That is not enough to maintain or build the stocks," a trader based in Singapore said.
For December, arbitrage supplies from Europe and the US are expected at around 4 million mt, down from 4 million-4.5 million mt for November.
The impact of the reduced arbitrage flow was also seen in the 3.5% Rotterdam barge crack value — a measure of the openness of the arbitrage to Singapore from Northwest Europe — which hit a record high on Tuesday.
The December 3.5% Rotterdam barge crack value against Brent swaps hit a record high of minus $4.19/b as of 4:30 pm Singapore time on Tuesday, Platts data showed.
Cargo activity from Rotterdam to the East has reduced over the last couple of weeks after 1.18 million mt departed in October compared with 390,000 mt so far in November.
Meanwhile, falling crude prices also kept crack levels supported, market sources said.
The front-month ICE January Brent crude oil futures contract fell more than $20/b in about a month as investors remained concerned over weak demand and oversupply.
Crude oil inventories in the US have been rising for eight straight weeks and analysts expect the build to continue in the coming weeks. Also, Russia produced a record 11.4 million b/d of crude to help compensate for the lack of Iranian barrels on account of the US sanctions.

First of all, I thought I'd wish all of you readers out there a very happy new year. 2011 was a pretty decent year for me and the blog, but I feel that 2012 is going to be the one. I set up this page at the start of September and I had no idea that it would still be going now. A massive thank you to all of you out there, you make me want to continue.
I just felt the irrepressible need to share this with you, one of my favourite songs of the moment. So here it is, liquid D&B producer Bustrexx's exceptional rework of indie-electro queen Lights' 'Siberia'.
Hailing from Wakefield in the UK, it looks like this guy's got a properly good future ahead of him if he keeps producing tracks like this. Utilising the vocal expertly, he almost completely transforms the song: with a driving drum beat providing the backbone for complex synths – all of which culminate along with tight production to make this one an absolute banger.
This one's definitely for fans of Netsky and the like, proper vibes. Check out 'Careless' below, grab your free download and go and show this guy some love on Soundcloud, where you'll find a properly chilled track he did with unsigned vocalist CoMa.

1 Package Prosciutto
1 Lemon
1 Bunch Parsley
1 Stick of softened butter
1-2 Cloves of garlic
1 Whole chicken
Pre-heat oven to 375°F (190°C),
Remember to take butter out of fridge about 30 min prior to soften. Wash lemon and grate zest, then finely chop parsely. Finely chop or mince the garlic cloves and cut the prosciutto into strips. Mix all ingredients together – should be a buttery ball of herbs and prosciutto. Add more butter if necessary to bind ingredients together.
With chicken breast side up, gently pry the skin away from the meat at the top of the breast bone and start gently stuffing the mixture between the cavity you have formed on either side of the breast bone (between meat and skin).
Roast chicken in the centre of a pre-heated oven, gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C), for 20 minutes per lb (450 g) plus 10-20 minutes extra – this will be 1 hour and 50 minutes to 2 hours for a 5 lb (2.25 kg) bird. For the final 15 minutes of cooking, increase the heat to gas mark 7, 425°F (220°C) to give the skin that final golden crispiness. When it is cooked, remove it from the oven and cover it with foil. Leave to rest for 30 minutes before serving

Sector business services confident about the future
Providers of business services are more positive than they were some time ago. They anticipate higher turnovers and an increase in employment as the Economic survey onbusiness services shows.
Higher turnovers in business services
The Economic survey on business services is a mood indicator for the sectors Leasing of property, ICT services and Other commercial services. The sector business services appears to improve in 2005. Business service providers report growing turnovers, particularly in the ICT and temp agency sectors.
Expectations and opinions on turnover business services, 1995-2005
Sector business services also more positive about employment
Commercial service providers have also become more confident about employment in their sector. In the first three quarters of 2005, providers of commercial services (particularly in ICT and temp agencies) who had recruited new staff outnumbered those who had to lay off personnel for the first time since early 2002. They were also positive about a further increase in employment. As from 2000 virtually all of them have been more positive than they were in retrospect.
The Economic surveys conducted by Statistics Netherlands reflect the mood among entrepreneurs in the private sector. They are invited to assess the economic situation in the recent past and the near future. There are positive answers ("good", "improving"), negative answers ("poor", "deteriorating") or neutral answers ("virtually no change"). The results are usually presented in a condensed form as the balance of the percentages of positive and negative answers.
There was also widespread optimismamong entrepreneurs aboutthe foreseeable future during the last eighteen months. Since 2002 their expectations have been almost continually somewhat more positive than their opinions afterwards.
Expectations and opinions on number of employees in business services, 1995-2005
More positive about future turnover
In the second half of the 1990s, the sector business services was one of the driving forces behind economic growth and the rise in employment. After 2000, however, the situation changed and the sector faced a downturn. In that year pessimists outnumbered optimists.

Here is the LGC timetable:
Wednesday 28 September
11am to 4pm Waiheke Library
From 7pm Morra Hall
Thursday 29 September
11am to 4pm Ostend Hall
From 7pm Ostend Hall
Many opposing the Our Waiheke bid have already sent submissions but there is need to be vigilant. Here are the main points against de-amalgamation made by Waiheke's 'Better Together' Group.
The Better Together submission concludes that the OW bid for separation is based on:
. speculative figures;
. many assumptions;
. involves risks to future infrastructural development
. cost of debt servicing and maintenance of $309M worth of assets is unknown
. thus far, the proposition has not been assessed throughout the region
. there is no objective cost/benefit analysis.
- insist Councils and Boards invest in long term planning
- invest in long-term infrastructure
- ensure cities and towns are designed to be clever, sustainable, inclusive and good desirable places to live
- work with credible scientific, economic and social research to inform direction;
put rationality and the public interest ahead of opinion
- resist pork-barrel politics
- better accountability, more checks and balances on the allocation of financial resources to community groups
- search out new ways of gauging public views and interests along with that of pressure groups

I am running into issues uploading files on both the development cloud server and also my local install
Currently running:
Admin Application Version: 2.0.5
DreamFactory Version: 2.0.2
When attempting to upload files from the admin app Files section, I navigate to the folder I want (which I could create without issue), click upload file and then when I try to click the actual button to "Choose File" - nothing happens.
No javascript console error, no warning in dreamfactory, no network actions, nothing
I have tried the root folders, user created folders, and as I mentioned, both cloud and local, same results all around.

sometimes things that seem wrong are simply out of place/
With surrealist pictures and a slightly tense story, this is a charming picture book.
Hurricane, the cat, follows the Wrong Thing through the house, trying to protect his family who are sleeping. Until he realises that the Wrong Thing is a Lost Thing.
The Wrong Thing just needed its own place and family.
This is one of my favourite stories about things that seem Wrong being simply out of place.
Hurricane worries that 'the big ones would not see it. And the small ones might want to catch it'.
There are hints of prejudice being overcome—of big ones failing to see something out of place, and small ones wanting to fit it into their own world while Hurricane wants to banish it.
Eventually, after chasing it through the house, Hurricane realises that it simply belongs elsewhere—a place where it is valued and loved.
And gradually Hurricane sees the Wrong Thing for what it is—different but delightful, unfamiliar but sweet, welcome but not part of the family.
The illustrations are beautiful and worthy of time spent examining them carefully to catch their nuance. But, for a little one, they are appealing in a very simple way—the Wrong Thing is cute and mythical and the sleeping children are peaceful and feel like home.
Written by Isobelle Carmody, illustrated by Declan Lee for ages 4 to 12-years, the book is sadly out of print. Hopefully that will change, so here's the link to Book Depository. Meantime, it's likely to be in the library or you might come across it at thrift book sales.

Frustrated by a Stagnant Market, Investors Look for More Options
NEW YORK -- Like a marathon runner on a treadmill, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has logged more than 47,011 points as it moved from one close to the next over the past two years.
But the actual effect of all that mileage? At Friday's close, when May options expired, the index of blue-chip stocks was just 189 points away from where it stood this time two years ago -- and down, too, to add insult to injury.

"As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food." Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered. "Bring them here to me," he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children." Matthew 14:15-21
This story of the miracle where Jesus feeds five thousand with five loaves and two fish and there are basketfuls of leftovers always amazes me. I smoked beef brisket, ribs, pork butt and four hot dogs yesterday and when the five adults and three children finished eating our fill of meat, salad and desert we had leftovers; but not more than was originally on the kitchen counter. There was quite possibly enough to feed three dozen Haitian school children, their teachers, the principal and the cooks. Yesterday, I ate a lite breakfast, that feast for lunch and skipped dinner cause I wasn't hungry; two meals was all that I needed. Most of the children in this photo will only eat one filling meal today; the Trinity/HOPE lunch you have helped provide. We thank you Jesus, for these children from Chincheron, for the food, and for the donors from Christ Lutheran in Lincoln, NE who gave of their monetary excesses; leftovers. I am closing today with the words from the hymn 'Feed Thy Children, God Most Holy' that were written by Johann Heermann in 1656.
"Feed Thy children, God most holy, comfort sinners poor and lowly; O Thou Bread of Life from heaven, bless the food Thou here hast given! As these gifts the body nourish, may our souls in graces flourish till with saints in heavenly splendor at Thy feast due thanks we render."
Dear Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay

Inventions Remixes
Temporary Residence Limited
Last year Georgia's Maserati ended a four-year absence with Inventions For The New Season, a delirious soundtrack for late-night cityscapes and never-ending car chases. The first album featuring new drummer Jerry Fuchs (LCD Soundsystem, !!!, The Juan Maclean), Inventions quite literally reinvented Maserati as a motorik psych-rock band with a disco ball for a kick drum. It makes sense, then, that Maserati have commissioned a pair of remixes by two producers most likely to shove their songs onto the dancefloor feet-first.Side A finds Thee Loving Hand (Tim Goldsworthy of The DFA, Hercules and Love Affair) stripping The World Outside to almost nothing, reimagining it as a vintage European disco track from the ground up. Starting with a steady, far-off kick drum and a rogue, in-your-face hi hat, the song's seemingly disparate parts eventually lock into the kind of dirty disco that has made Goldsworthy a club legend.Equally club-friendly, !!!'s Justin Van Der Volgen brushes away the grit of the original Inventions¬ù and painstakingly buffs it to a shine as slick as black ice. The side-long trance mix maintains the sweaty atmosphere of the original, but removes the top-down drive in favor of a midnight jog.Strictly limited to a one-time pressing of 1,000 copies, Inventions Remixes is both an addendum to the successful reboot of Inventions For The New Season, as well as a testament to the broad spectrum of influences that flow in and out of Maserati's music.

Visual Journal Entry - #7
Hello Interwebs
Hoping you day is going well
For today's Visual Journal Entry we have some snaps I picked up from my recent travels to the rolling hills and lush green land of Yorkshire. For todays imagery we have a image of the warm welcoming campsite I stayed at which is http://www.knightstainforth.co.uk
Also on my travels within the lovely lands of Yorkshire , we went to a couple of villages and I seemed to enjoy the light which was offered to me , so I snapped away.
Also on the trip , we took many walks aswell and I visually find attractive a bit green within my images.
Thank you once again for visiting my website and coming to read up on my recent adventures and visual work.
Hope you all have a nice day.

HARSHBARGER firstname.lastname@example.com October 7, 2015 7:34 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email Top City Council members told the MTA Wednesday it was misleading the public in the fight over its capital plan budget, according to a letter sent to the MTA chairman. "We continue to be dismayed both by the assertion that city taxpayers ought to contribute more than their fare share of the MTA's capital plan and by the inaccurate information being used to bolster such arguments," wrote council members Ydanis Rodriguez and Julissa Ferreras in a letter to MTA chairman Thomas Prendergast. Rodriguez chairs the Transportation Committee, while Ferreras is in charge of the Finance Committee. The MTA originally asked the city to contribute $657 million to its next capital plan, which it agreed to, and is now asking for $3.2 billion. The capital plan pays to keep the subway in good condition, as well as big projects like new stations. The letter says that there is no basis for the MTA to demand that 11% of its capital budget be funded by the city -- and that it paid only 2% of the MTA's capital plan between 2000 and 2004. "To put your request in perspective the $3.2 billion you've demanded from the city over five years would amount to more than 10% of what the city would typically spend on capital projects over the same period," the letter ads. The MTA said the facts in the letter are correct, and that the city's contribution under Mayor Bill de Blasio would be the lowest percentage than any other mayor in history. MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said that former Mayor Michael Bloomberg paid more than 11% of the MTA's capital plan between 2005 and 2009 by building the new No. 7 train extension stop. "New Yorkers need new subway cars and buses, modern signals, a Second Avenue Subway to East Harlem, new switches, new tracks," said Lisberg. "But the mayor -- and now some key City Council members -- are just offering cheap excuses for why they don't want to pay for it." Commuter advocates like the Riders Alliance said despite the storms between the state and city, the MTA is close to paying for the $26.8 billion capital plan. It said the city should pay more, and that the governor should promise that no existing dollars already slotted for new service be used for the deficit. "Doing so could lead to fare increases and service cuts for riders," the group said in a statement. Other labor unions also jumped into the fray Wednesday. The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades joined the TWU Local 100 in criticizing City Hall for not giving the MTA enough money, and called for a $3 billion contribution from the city. The TWU has been running print ads comparing de Blasio to a farebeater, as well as a subway operator in charge of a battered train. By REBECCA.

Andrew and Tim get an awards full house
ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER and Sir Tim Rice have become only the third and fourth Brits respectively to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony.
Joining the exclusive British section of the EGOT club, whose only other members are Audrey Hepburn and Sir John Gielgud, the stage stalwarts received their prestigious gongs after bagging Emmys for US TV special Jesus Christ Superstar, Live In Concert.
John Legend, 39, also became an EGOT winner for his song Glory, making him the youngest, as well as the first black male, to snag the honour.
Lord Lloyd-Webber said he never believed he would ever receive all four because he has rarely worked for television.
He dedicated the award to his late friend and co-producer Craig Zadan who died this summer, saying: "This has always been his and I'm so grateful that he put so much of his energies into a rather wonderful show."
Winners Lord Lloyd Webber, John Legend and Sir Tim Rice with their US television Emmy awards
Sir Andrew, 70, and 71-year-old Sir Tim won Tonys for Evita and Sunset Boulevard, Grammys for Cats and Evita and an Oscar for the song You Must Love Me from Evita.
Only 15 people in history have managed to scoop all four gongs. The latest award tops off a special year for Sir Andrew. He received a Grammy Awards tribute and released his autobiography Unmasked with a four-CD collection of his songs performed by the likes of Barbra Streisand and Evita star Madonna.
Olivia Newton-John reveals battle with cancer for the third time
Olivia Newton-John has cancer for the third time. The worrying news comes as she admitted she suffered a second battle with the illness in 2003 but didn't go public about it.
The 69-year-old reveals that her breast cancer has spread to her spine more than two decades after she first overcame the disease in 1992.
The Grease star has undergone radiation therapy and explained why she kept the second diagnosis a secret: "I thought, 'It's my life' and I just decided to keep it to myself."
Kirstie Allsopp smashed her children's iPads after they broke rules
One can never accuse Kirstie Allsopp of soft parenting. The Location, Location, Location host, who is mum to sons Bay, 12, and Oscar, 10, explains: "I smashed my kids' iPads. Not in a violent way. I banged them on a table leg."
"There are games called Fortnite and PUGB. We had made all sorts of rules and all sorts of times when we said you can't play them and all those rules got broken.
"In the end I said, 'Right, that is it – I have to break them.'"
This comes after she revealed that her children fly economy/cattle class while she enjoys going business.
Saudi's Tube Stop
Don't mess with Sandi Toksvig. The QI and Bake Off host was travelling on the London Underground when she heard three men talking disparagingly about women and she took it upon herself to put them in their place.
Talking to Radio Times the 60-year-old says she shouted in her best school mistress voice: "That. Is. Enough!" Before revealing: "And they apologised!"
However the Danish-born star admits her wife was far from impressed. "My wife Debbie said to me, 'What were you doing? They could have stabbed you!'"
Barry sounds and looks as good as ever
Does Barry Manilow have a portait of himself hidden in his attic as in Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture Of Dorian Gray?
With the 75-year-old playing three nights at London's O2 Arena last week we could not help noticing that the great entertainer appears to be ageing backwards.
During his pitch-perfect performance Day & Night watched as he sang crowd favourite Mandy and footage of him singing it in 1973 appeared. (The present Barry is on the left, just in case you were wondering!)
The Brooklyn-born singer has previously denied ever going under the knife, telling chat show host Jonathan Ross in 2014: "That's the way I'm ageing."

Always Defend Your Art
When working with a Brand gets a bit tricky.
As your follower count grows, so does the number of brands and companies wanting to work with you and have their products featured on your account. I have worked with many different brands in the past few months, and I've loved every single one, but some are certainly easier to work to than others.
From my experience, there's two kinds of companies that you work with: the easy ones where they say "do whatever you want" (these are often gifted products) or the ones that have a lot of different criteria (these are the ones that I get paid for). Now, most of the time I have had no problems. I send off the photo for approval and all is well. However, there have been a few times where the photo has come back and the brand say it needs changing and I'm not just talking tiny tweaks I'm talking full on concept changes.
And do you know what I say?
I say no.
The fact of the matter is, this brand approach me for a reason. They like my photos and want their products to be featured in the style that is my own. When I have thought about a concept for a photo to show off a product, taken the time to photograph and edit the photo it becomes extremely hard to scratch it altogether and think of a new idea. And I shouldn't have to, because no one else dictates what I put on my account but me.
You know your account better than anyone. If they ask for a light photo , when you only do dark ones, or a flatlay when you haven't done one in your life, or want the packaging front and center, when you don't work like that, say no. You should never change your style just to make someone else happy, even if it is for money. Don't ever compromise what photos you post on your account because not only will it confuse your followers, but you won't have any love for the photo and that will show. If you want to go a good job for the brand posting a photo you know won't do well is not a great partnership.
Do not be afraid to say no to someone. Money is immaterial. Even if it is the first time that someone is reaching out to you for sponsored content, there is no problem in saying "I'm sorry but that won't work for my account, however I have an idea that will work…"
Most of the time, after I have said politely that I am not going to produce another photo because I really love the photo, they have approved it to be posted. And if they don't, then so what? There will always be another time!

I went hunting this year.
Some of you already stopped reading.
That's okay.
Growing up in Pennsylvania, hunting was a way of life.
Our rite of passage: the hunter's safety course. (100%, thank you very much.)
A special holiday: schools closing on the first day of rifle season.
A test: waking up before dawn to sit in subfreezing temperatures hoping, praying, or – in my sister's and my case – dancing for the deer to come. We called it the "OK, Deer. You Can Come Now" dance.
Celebration: a photograph of our first deer televised on the local news station. My deer didn't make it; my turkey, though . . .
Pennsylvania Outdoor Life on WNEP
The same station that brought you the "Apparently" Kid
Reward: meat in the freezer. Horns on the wall (maybe). Head mounts? Ain't nobody got time for that.
Then I moved – college, you know. I didn't hunt for 4 years.
I moved again – marriage, you know. I hunted off and on for the past 6 years.
Never got anything.
Until this year.
This year I harvested a doe and a buck – and found a slightly different perspective.
Some readers may find the following descriptions and photos distasteful.
Consider yourself warned.
I stood over my first harvest – the doe – and understood why Native Peoples thanked animals for their sacrifice. This doe had been alive moments before; I could feel the heat coming off her. I found myself praying she didn't suffer. I never thought these thoughts when I was younger.
I had the meat processed into burger – 22 pounds, to be exact.
Enough to fill the freezer.
I was invited to go out again on the last day of the season – processing (if any) would be taken care of.
With two minutes remaining a buck walked out – literally under my stand. I couldn't take a shot without shooting through the floor, so I waited. Seconds passed; I started to think: Should I take a shot?
I've never harvested a buck before; but as I've always said, you can't eat antlers.
I had plenty of burger, but didn't have any roasts.Would it be worth it?
It was getting late. What if I only wounded it and then couldn't find it?
Then he started to run and I had to make a choice.
He turned. I had time to make another shot.
I took it – he went down.
Then came the processing.
My uncle and I processed the whole thing.
It was gross; it was disgusting.
It was necessary.
It looked something like this:
I'm not sure how to say it. I enjoyed the hunt, but it wasn't fun. I derived no pleasure from killing these animals, although I'm thankful for the meat in my freezer. And my in-law's freezer. And my uncle's freezer.
I could never hunt for sport.
Contrary to PETA's website, most hunters don't hunt for "recreation." It's true: many don't rely on hunting to survive, but those lucky enough to harvest an animal won't have to buy that at the grocery. Case in point: this year "cost" me $146. I only had to pay for my license and processing of the first deer, and those monies were given as gifts. This means I paid about $2.43 per pound of meat; try buying burger or roast from the deli for that price. I should have no need to buy beef for the next year.
Neither is hunting a necessity. I won't starve because I didn't get a deer.
But, hunting makes things easier; my bank account can stretch a bit further.
These are things I didn't think of before.
Hunting: natural and organic.
Very Circle of Life, don't you think?

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Wool' category.
I love watching traditional felt being made so when I stumbled upon this beaut on youtube I wanted to share it. I thought I'd seen most of the Ray Mears stuff but don't remember this:
200 sheep fleeces…cor blimey! Can you make all our felts good and strong please Tenge? Not quite so critical for those of us not actually living within our felt but nonetheless…
Now I want to read up on Mongolian history! Although I didn't finish my anthropology degree I can't stop being fascinated. Talking of degrees, did I say I'm off to study LD nursing this Autumn. Well I am, woohoo!
Isn't it interesting how so many textile crafts (knitting, felting…) are/were traditionally made by men when they are now overwhelmingly dominated by women. I don't believe what they say, equal rights can't exist when (albeit among many many other issues) we're still too sexist as a society to really think it normal for men to be doing these things as well.
I think I've been living up to the tagline of my blog with this post, I'll stop rambling about whatever pops into my head!
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the vid 🙂
So ages ago now I attempted a nuno scarf. I had read up briefly on it but just wanted to fling myself into it…definitely a learning curve!
This picture was my first ever attempt. I layed wool on both sides of muslin fabric, but I reckon 1 much thinner layer would have worked better, as this one doesn't drape fantastically well.
I got spurred on by the clear possibilities so made another 'scarf' with the intention of just experimenting. This is how that turned out:
And the 2nd half (only 1 side of the fabris ic felted but I had to photo it in 2 halves):
And finally, you can see how it drapes much better thanks to much less wool being used:
I loved experimenting with different shapes, thicknesses and directions of laying the fibres. Doing the seperate 'sections' really gave me a good insight into how merino acts when nuno felted onto cotton muslin. It's also a scarf that I've actually worn and enjoyed wearing. My first attempt is far too stiff so will await its future reincarnation into another experiment!
PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NOW A TUTORIAL FOR FELT SLIPPERS HERE: https://fortheloveoffelt.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/wet-felted-slipper-tutorial/
I've spent all night (and my back) on my latest project – new slippers for me 🙂
They are made using dark purple merino tops and red and purple carded Finn. There are 7 or 8 layers. To be honest I lost count amid all the rubbing and rolling and laying.
I added a little purple silk top and orange/red Wensleydale to the final layer to add a bit of interest…watch this space for photos.
This is absolutely genius!!! I can't believe it's real but have to say it does look it.
There are no words for it, you just HAVE to watch it!
Kudos to these Shepherds, must have taken so much time and skill 🙂

Not only did I get lucky enough to photograph Aaron Fitzpatrick's Datsun 1600 once, but I was asked to shoot it twice for two different magazines on the same trip down to Canberra earlier this year! I've already posted some images from my photo shoot for Street Machine magazine HERE. Now you can see some of the images from my shoot for Perth's Forged magazine. It's been on sale for a while now, but you can still find it on newsstands nationwide.
This beast runs a dry-sumped, 800hp FJ20 combo, with tubs and a cage – it's a full-house race version of his Summernats-winning 1600, with a personality all its own.

Artist Statement:
My works explore singular experiences throughout my life that were emotionally traumatizing and left me feeling isolated from the world around me. These memories and emotions are expressed through self-portraits and figures of light set against scenery that reinforce a sense of isolation resulting from those experiences. Just as time manipulates the clarity of a memory I manipulate the motion and color of light in multiple long-exposures.

But I can't imagine the bulk of those people were in that situation... I think a lot of people just didn't want to follow a "mommy blogger."

It's so easy to feel inadequate as a parent when others seem to do it so effortlessly. Lately, I've felt awful about myself because an instagrammer I follow is super fulfilled by motherhood and takes every opportunity to say that. But then I read this post - https://www.thebravelife.co/blog/2017/6/5/greenhouse-shoot-and I realized it's okay to not feel 100% fulfilled by being a parent. And there's so much power in owning that realization. And I feel like we need to see more posts like yours because parenthood is so so hard and those seemingly ideal portrayals of it are not doing anyone any favours.tobyhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224206032890897365.post-32030303852571880642017-09-20T07:39:06.591-04:002017-09-20T07:39:06.591-04:00As a person who's pregnant for the first time,...As a person who's pregnant for the first time, I loved reading this!

Such a cutie.Jessica Mackhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224206032890897365.post-41779046741609436142017-09-19T17:54:59.668-04:002017-09-19T17:54:59.668-04:00Nice to read!

A few blood tests later, I had too much prolactin. If I tried to calorie count, my milk would slow. Hmmph! Not the miracle everyone told me about but good to read someone understanding.

You're a good mom, Anabela. I've enjoyed your take on motherhood the past 14 months. diana.lacountehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224206032890897365.post-57577225556351956682017-09-19T17:18:08.620-04:002017-09-19T17:18:08.620-04:00Ohh, sending you many thanks for sharing your stor...Ohh, sending you many thanks for sharing your story! You sound like an awesome parent!!! To the instagram followers leaving: I read that many women who couldn't conceive found it too painful to view photos of others' infants. You're right, it's hard not to take personally, but there is definitely a story behind everyone. Thanks for bravely sharing yours.

I too went through the massive guilt of being miserable that first year after struggling to have our kiddo for YEARS. It was supposed to be perfect and amazing and my babe only napped in 30 minute increments, which is madness. My buddy is 7 now and I still think my chest is way too big, I still struggle to find time to exercise and hate being away from our kiddo. It's a beautiful struggle, though and I'm incredibly happy for you.Elisa Ruehlmannhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224206032890897365.post-5479809936187088392017-09-19T14:52:37.198-04:002017-09-19T14:52:37.198-04:00What a great read!

Your Instagram was one of the first "mommy" ones I followed and it is still my favourite! Anna Maria Gutkowskahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com
