Beaming Galway granny joins in Sarsfields county celebrations with her six grandsons
Sarsfields' seventh county success was a proud day for everyone associated with the Galway club and in particular for one proud grandmother.
The reigning champions had two points to spare in the county final replay, dashing Carghwell's bid for a first senior title since 1931, and yet again it was backboned by the Cooney family.
In the 1990s, Joe Cooney and his brothers inspired the club to successive All-Ireland titles and it was his son Joseph who captained yesterday's victorious team, one of six family members involved on the day.
Younger brother Kevin hit two crucial points after his introduction and youngest sibling Tomás was the team's mascot.

On a memorable day for the Cooney household, the six grandsons brought a special present to their granny, with Galway TD Ciaran Cannon tweeting the heart-warming picture of the family.
The victory was their seventh county success since their maiden victory in 1980 and will hope to emulate the club's previous success by retaining their All-Ireland crown.

Tomorrow is the day! On Wednesday, June 13, FIFA will hold a vote to determine, which nation or nations will host the 2026 Men's World Cup.
The United States, Canada and Mexico launched a United Bid, hoping to become the first three-country entity to host the world's biggest sporting event. On the other side, Morocco is hoping to become the second African nation to host the World Cup. Philadelphia was selected as one of 23 proposed host sites for the United Bid--16 will be picked out of that group.
The World Cup 2026 vote will be broadcast live on FS1 and beIN Sports. Coverage starts at 6:30 AM Eastern.
New York Times Vote Tracker
In case you missed it, more information about the United Bid is available below:
Highlights of the United Bid, which can also be found in the full Executive Summary:
As one of the 23 proposed host cities, Philadelphia's World Cup bid would include the following, according to Philly.com:
What they're saying about the United Bid 2026...
Carlos Cordeiro, President of U.S. Soccer; Steven Reed, President of Canada Soccer; Decio De Maria, President of Mexico Football:
"Together, we represent a unified vision that transcends national borders and politics. We are determined to show that in challenging times when forces around the globe too often pull people apart, football can remind us of the common values and ideals—humanity, friendship and mutual respect—that unite us as fellow human beings."
Larry Needle, President of PHL Sports and a member of the Philadelphia bid committee:
"Philadelphia is very proud to be a part of the United Bid that was submitted to FIFA and grateful to all of our area partners including our good friends at Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer."
Chris Branscome, CEO of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer
"Hosting World Cup games in Philadelphia would be transformational for soccer in our area. I believe it would spark an era of great creativity and development in facilities, programming and people. We should do everything possible over the next few months, and years to show FIFA that Philadelphia is an international soccer city. Let's fill Talen Energy Stadium for the US Men's National Team game on May 28 as well as every Union home game this season"

Days 67 & 68: It Was My Idea
67: campsite to Bailey Gap shelter. 15.0 miles.
68: Bailey Gap to unlisted campsite 3.3 miles past Laurel Creek shelter, 17.9 miles.
This morning I said, "I'm thinking about doing 18 miles. If we do 18, 18, 15, and 18 over the next four days, we'll get to Daleville a day sooner than we planned." At first, I'm not sure anyone but me was on board with that idea. But by lunchtime at the first shelter we passed, I had converts. It was still "let's see how we feel at the next shelter" but it was looking good for my plan.
As is often the case, the gang hiked ahead while I lagged behind going up the day's big climb. It was a doozy. By the time I got to the second shelter, I was about ready to stop. But they'd all hiked on. I couldn't very well stop when it was my idea in the first place, so I slogged out the extra 3.3 miles too, arriving about half an hour behind them, ready to collapse.
I instructed them that next time I say something like "I want to hike 18 miles", I am not to be listened to.
We've all done that many miles before though, and it isn't always that bad. It was a combination of things, like that one big climb and some steep, rocky descents that made it particularly tough today. It's unknown at this point whether we'll try the other three days of my plan or not. If nothing else, at least we're already slightly ahead of schedule.


text: Jesus sent his friends out two by two to turn the world upside down in order to invite it to get rightside-up. Sure, it was all about big ideas like love, healing and inclusion, but it was worked out in the small ordinariness of life together. That's the thing about this whole Christ story, it's about community and action going hand in hand. Join us this Sunday at 11am as we kick off our new series, "Ubuntu: I am because we are."

Chauncey Billups Announces Retirement
(NEW YORK) -- The 2004 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, Chauncey Billups, announced his retirement on Tuesday.
"It's just time. I'm happy, excited. The game was very, very good to me," Billups told Yahoo! Sports. "I felt like I was equally as good to the game the way I played it and the way I respected it and the way I carried myself through the process."
Billups played 17 seasons in the NBA for seven different teams, including playing for the Detroit Pistons from 2002-08 and winning a title in 2004.
The 37-year-old averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game throughout his career. Originally drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1997, Billups also played for the Pistons, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Clippers.
Billups rejoined the Pistons this past season, averaging 3.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in only 19 games.
Detroit announced in June that they would not be picking up his option for the 2014-15 season.

There are many meetings, though not as many greetings this episode:
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 6: Nobody expects the Sparrow Inquisition (to produce any real evidence)
Abandon hope all ye who enter here:
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 5: Don't Hate the Flayer Hate the Game
The Targaryens (both secret and not) are at it again, executing people left and right:
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 4: Barristan Selmy's Happy, Fun, Cake-carving Hour!
The dreaded curse of reminiscing about dead Targaryens strikes again.
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 3: Sparrow's Church of the Holy Seven
This was the first episode in a long while that made me feel any kind of intense emotion that wasn't anger.
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 2: Everybody wants to back-seat Rule the World
This episode was delightfully heavy with politics and schemes and, by the end, I had almost forgotten the changes made to Dorne and DOran Martell (who is this DoRAN person).
Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 1: We're finally out the cramped crate of hiatus
This was an underwhelming episode, with some editing issues, but very clearly plotted the way the rest of the season is going in.
Sleepy Hollow Season 2, Episode 14: The one with the Glorious Karaoke
The episode opens with Abbie singing her little heart out at karaoke and she sounds amazing as well as looking cute. Well, cuter than usual. The reason for this is that the gang has apparently gone on a double date, and while the two ladies can definitely do better, it's nice to see them all relaxed and smiling. Ichabod and Hawley don't have a song. It is understandable that Ichabod doesn't find his teenage jams in the charts anymore, but I suspect Hawley just doesn't want to admit he's a Celine Dion boy.
Nothing good lasts forever on this show and Nick has to go away on business, promising Jenny he'd be back later in the night. Wink wink. Nudge nudge. This business seems to be a surprise visit from a woman names Carmilla, which according to my dash is a creature of the night that fancies ladies. This one seems to have a past with Hawley, a rather unpleasant one judging by the fact that he flinches when she calls him Nicky. Perhaps he just knows that with that name he'll be forever in the shadow of her Minajesty. This blast from his past wants access to Theodore Knox's estate.
Sleepy Hollow Season 2, Episode 13: The one with the Killer Painting
2.13 seemed to be split into two very distinct stories. One was a by the numbers bottle episode about a murderer, while the other was the heartbreaking tragedy of a man coming back from the dead only to be met with well-founded suspicion by the people that love him. The killer did make my hair rise on occasion, however, Irving's return and everyone's response to it was much more fulfilling.
The episode starts almost like a procedural; there is a man going about his business, that business being art restoration, only to find blood. A suspicious amount of blood. Instead of discovering a body however, this poor man faced something decidedly supernatural and went through his own personal Lady Macbeth moment when the blood disappeared without trace.
Sleepy Hollow Season 2, Episode 12: The one with the Hot Wings
Sleepy Hollow is back! (Only to go away again for a couple of weeks). For the first time in a while I'm actually feeling excited about things to come and even though it might be post-hiatus emotions, let's see why.
Henry is gone! Much of what frustrated me in the first half of the season was centered around Henry, so when Ichabod got up on his feet and started looking for people whose fates I care more about, I felt a sigh of relief that Henry was nowhere to be found.
The only one really searching for Henry was Katrina, who believes her son risked everything to save her. It's been about a month but I'm fairly certain Henry's defection had more to do with who he decided deserved to be his father. As everybody dusts themselves off and breathes a bit easier, we get a cut to six weeks later.

It's not very often that something in San Diego is canceled because of weather-in fact, that's more or less the one thing you can count on in our temperate burg. But as it turns out, the Wednesday, Oct. 9, San Diego Music Awards ceremony has been postponed one week, and will now be held Oct. 16 at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. ---
In a statement released by the San Diego Music Foundation-the organization behind the awards (full disclosure: board president Kevin Hellman is CityBeat 's publisher)-the reason behind the postponement was a forecast of rainstorms moving into the region this week. Humphreys, it should be noted, is an outdoor venue.
On Oct. 16, the regular program will go on as scheduled, and Sara Watkins, Tristan Prettyman, Sara Petite, Blackout Party, The Palace Ballroom and Lifetime Achievement winner Daniel Jackson will still perform. The Heavy Guilt, however, had to back out because of their tour schedule.

To Dance, Perchance to Dream
Young dancers have spent much of this early spring attending dance competitions across the country and abroad with a single goal: to dance this summer. Many prestigious dance companies and schools offer students from around the world the opportunity to spend the summer studying with them. However, there are auditions and competitions to attend first.
Locally, Festival Ballet Providence offers a 4-week summer dance intensive focusing mainly on ballet technique. If you have an aspiring ballet dancer, male or female, they could audition to attend Boston Ballet Summer Program (SDP), School of American Ballet (SAB), American Ballet Theatre (ABT) or Ellison Ballet in NYC. Students also can travel even farther to Houston, San Francisco or Miami, where there are many opportunities. These programs are a wonderful experience for the aspiring professional, as they offer opportunities to learn and work with leading choreographers and teachers in the world of dance. Is it necessary to attend summer intensives in order to dance professionally? The answer is yes. Pre-professional dancers need the training from additional sources other than their weekly school. These summer intensives offer young dancers the opportunity to network, as well. It is very helpful to join a community of dance teachers, choreographers and dance friends as one progresses in the field of dance.
The programs mentioned are focused on the world of ballet, but perhaps you have an aspiring musical theater performer or modern dancer. That is a different path altogether that goes through the competition world. These dancers compete nearly every weekend from mid-January through May. It is a very expensive endeavor, with the competition fees, costumes and travel. Many of these dance families spend thousands of dollars each year on weekly lessons, costumes, fees and private lessons. You can also hire a private choreographer for your dancer. The hope, beside being offered the opportunity to spend your summer with another school, is to win a scholarship. A dancer can be awarded full college scholarships to dance programs. Hundreds of dancers each weekend compete for the opportunity to find their dream job or their dream school and to dance professionally. Is it possible? Yes it is.
There are jobs. You can make a living. However, the sooner you recognize your strengths as a dancer, the better the opportunity. If you do not have the faculty to be a professional ballet dancer, then accept it and change course, because there are so many other opportunities. Disney offers the college-aged dancer several options to dance at "the happiest place on earth." Cruise lines and vacation resorts are always looking for dancers and entertainers. Busch Gardens and other theme parks also are in need of full time and summer performers.
The opportunities are there, but it starts with attending summer dance intensives, competitions and auditions early on. Connections need to be made, friendships need to be built and technique needs to be developed.
If your child is still too young for these more advanced programs, locally there are many dance schools that have summer camps that offer students a variety of classes in several dance styles. North Kingstown has The Talent Factory, Tiverton has Dance Fusion and Rosemary School of Dance Education. Atwood Performing Arts Center and Defying Gravity are both good options in Cranston and Smithfield. JUMP! in Providence offers classes and camp that teaches a variety of styles, and Rumford Dance Theatre in East Providence offers camps and classes in both acting and dance.

Credit: Kai Pasifika Download Image (3901x5851px, 4012KB) Meet the innovative chefs spearheading New Zealand's kai revolution by incorporating Māori tradition and unique indigenous foods into their menus. New Zealand cuisine is well celebrated in the hundreds of excellent restaurants and cafés found throughout the country. Recently, the influence of Māori tradition and indigenous kai (food) have been recognised as nationally recognised taonga (treasures), providing a point of difference that innovative cooks and chefs are proud to incorporate in their menus. Monique Fiso, Wellington Two years ago, innovative young chef Monique Fiso returned from New York City's Michelin-starred The Musket Room to create Hiakai (hungry). This is a pop-up series of events, local and international, dedicated to the development of Māori cooking techniques and ingredients. Fiso's Māori and Samoan ancestors were great innovators of food and land, developing their own style of earth cookery (hāngi) and successfully adapting the indigenous flora and fauna for their meals. She leads the way in modernising these traditional foods with her exquisite fine-dining cuisine and is at the forefront of the Māori food revolution. Rex Morgan, Wellington One of the first chefs to bring his culinary heritage to the New Zealand table was Rex Morgan, an expert in French cooking techniques who adapted his style to include his personal experience of Māori influence and ingredients. He has been a hero chef on Māori Television, introduced indigenous ingredients to Air New Zealand's business-class menus and is now the executive chef at Wellington's popular Boulcott Street Bistro. Morgan adds the earthy, smoky flavours of traditional hāngi, and the native herbs horopito and kawakawa to some of the restaurant dishes. He will cook a menu with Māori influences by request. Jade Temepara, Christchurch Christchurch's Kākano Café and Cookery School is the pioneering business of Jade Temepara, a busy mother of five. Temepara brings the traditional concept of manaakitanga (hospitality) to her eatery, holding firm beliefs that kai can heal and bring both whanau (family) and the community together. Through her menu and occasional cooking classes, she emphasises foraged, free-range, fresh and 100 per cent nutrient-dense, organic, spray-free and focused food. The café, recently relocated to a sunny spot in the central city, is a happy and welcoming place with tasty, nutritious fare. Sean Kereama, Palmerston North Massey University has currently two marae (traditional Māori meeting grounds) under construction – in Wellington and at the main Turitea campus in Palmerston North. The university's executive chef, Sean Kereama, will preside over the two new kitchens of these marae in addition to his current work at Wharerata, a beautiful turn-of-the-century homestead in the Turitea grounds, where there is a café catering to students, staff and visitors. Kereama, who has mastered a wide spectrum of international cuisines, is from a Māori/Malay Chinese background. And he's not the only successful chef in his family – his brother, Jude, runs two restaurants in Cornwall, England, specialising in Māori-influenced fare. New Zealand wine dinners, matched to Kereama's menu, are a specialty of the Wharerata calendar and open to all food and wine connoisseurs. Robert Oliver, Auckland New Zealand Māori are a proud race, entwined with Pacific Polynesian peoples by history, culture and language similarities. Robert Oliver's Kai Pasifika, in the Auckland inner-city suburb of Mount Eden, celebrates these bonds and the unique cuisine of the Pacific people. The restaurant holds special dinners focusing on specific island cuisines, including that of the Māori, and well-known cooks and celebrities are often invited into the kitchen. The food is vibrant, island-style fare with ingredients sourced locally and from the Pacific Islands – a clever concept in a city with the largest Pacific Island population in the world. Kai Pasifika's wine list concentrates, uniquely in New Zealand, on only wines made by Māori-owned companies such as Tohu and Otu.

Attitudes to life that can lead to to good things happening. I don't think it is about running around laughing all day, that person would annoy the crap out of me.

Philadelphia Union at Houston Dynamo
|Date & Time
|Wednesday July 25, 2018, 9:00 PM (EDT)
|The Line
The Line: Houston -135 / Draw +289 / Philadelphia +341 -- Over/Under: 3
|TV Channel
ESPN+, MLS LIVE on DAZN (Canada), Live Well Network, KUBE 57
We have some midweek MLS action on tap Wednesday night from BBVA Compass Stadium as the Houston Dynamo host the Philadelphia Union.
The Houston Dynamo come into this match looking to build on their current four game unbeaten run in league play following a 1-1 draw with in-state rivals FC Dallas in their last outing. The action came early and often as FC Dallas went 1-0 up the opening minute before the Dynamo's Mauro Manotas equalized just seven minutes later. That was all the scoring the match would see however as the game finished in the score draw. FC Dallas had a chance to retake the lead just after the hour mark, but Roland Lamah missed from the penalty spot. Houston were out possessed by Dallas 56%-44%, and outshot 15-12 and 3-2 in terms of shots on target. Manotas leads the Dynamo with 10 goals this season while Romell Quioto leads Houston in assists with 8 helpers this season.
The Philadelphia Union will be looking to rebound after dropping a 3-1 decision at home to the LA Galaxy in their most recent outing. Philadelphia went 1-0 up in the 29th thanks to C.J. Sapong and carried that lead into the half. However three goals in the 48th, 63rd and 82nd from Ola Kamara, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Michael Ciani respectively would give the visitors all three points at full time. Philadelphia were narrowly edged in possession with 47% to LA's 53%, but the Union outshot the Galaxy 15-14 with LA holding a 9-7 edge in terms of shots on goal. Borek Dockal leads Philadelphia with 5 goals and 4 assists this season.
Head-to-head, the home side has dominated the fixture, winning three straight and nine of the last 12 meetings, with a couple of draws and a lone away win in 2013 as the only outliers. It's also worth noting that each of the last eight encounters have seen at least one team shut out.
The plus money with the Union and the draw is tempting, but Philadelphia have picked up just 7 of a possible 27 points away from home this season. Houston aren't a world-beating side at home, but the home teams dominance in this trend is enough to push the needle towards Houston claiming all three points here. Braver punters may want to try backing the Houston win to nil option if applicable.

DC's #LegendsOfTomorrow returns TOMORROW at 9/8c on The CW. pic.twitter.com/FvjqrtVJvI
— Legends of Tomorrow (@TheCW_Legends) October 9, 2017
The brand-new trailer for Legends of Tomorrow teases the fun and chaos to come in season 3 of the show. After breaking time last season, the Legends will be desperately working to set things straight. Along the way, we know they'll be tangling with dinosaurs, dealing with Julius Caesar in present-day Aruba, and outrunning Rip Hunter's new Time Bureau. But they'll also have to contend with the return of Damien Darhk and his all-new Legion of Doom.
The latest trailer for the season goes more in-depth than previous looks at the show, showing off a number of the locales and characters that will populate the new season. We spend more time at the early version of P.T. Barnum's circus where a saber-toothed tiger is on display. Naturally, the Legends set it loose. It's then that we encounter the Time Bureau who will be hunting the Legends for their crimes against time. While not villains, they will certainly act as stumbling blocks for the protagonists of the show.

Most excitingly, the trailers shows the gang in Vietnam in the '60s where they meet Gorilla Grodd. There's no telling how the villain ended up there, but he'll be just one member of Darhk's new crew.
As the trailer continues, we get glimpses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, see White Canary square off with plenty of enemies, and get hints of Vixen's encounter her granddaughter Kuasa. That latter plot will pull in elements from the Vixen animated series, which has a number of connections to Legends.
We also get the briefest glimpse of Kid Flash showing up. Earlier this year, a teaser for the Arrowverse put Citizen Steel together with Wally, and now we know which show it will take place on. Aside from the big crossover this year, this team-up will be one of several smaller crossovers. And considering how much the Speed Force is tied in with time travel, it will be interesting to see what Kid Flash makes of the world the Legends have created.
Along with all of those big moments, the new season will feature a Freaky Friday moment between Jax and Stein, vampires from the future attacking people, and a dark secret Rip is hiding. Now that Rip is back on the side of good, it will be interesting to see what this secret of his is and how it relates to the water figure that appears in the trailer. With the first episode of the show's new season debuting tomorrow, we won't have to wait much longer to learn more.

Episode 50: Damned Dirty Liberals
Liberals ruin everything. Nothing is sacred, not even the Boy Scouts. I mean it says Boy in the name, you have to be a Boy to be in the Boy Scouts. Until now. Thing is, the dirty hippies didn't take this one from you traditionalists. The Boy Scouts let girls in to make money, plain and simple. They weren't forced, the feminists and liberals did not demand entrance, the private club that is the Boy Scouts decided they needed a new membership base to draw from, so go blame them this time.

It feels like all I am doing here lately is hustling. Buy my fabric! Look what I made that you can make too! I promise, I am more than that. There is creating for the sake of creating happening. Just not much to report on yet. In the meantime... look what I made that you can buy!
As a partner to my Tag fabric collection I created a couple of fun panels. These are actually the colours I'd intended for the entire collection, but we made the switch to black and white during the process. Despite that, this panel was still destined for printing. I am so happy about that.
The message on the big panel is open to interpretation.
Make, Every Single Day
Make Every Single Day... Count... Beautiful... Funny
Make. Every. Single. Day
Whatever you like, however you want to use it. The coloured section is almost 20'' square. I've made it a pillow here, I've sewn it into a quilt that I still need to share with you. It would make an excellent tote bag (on my list). But wait, there is more!
This is the rest of the panel. Four smaller versions with some fundamental quilting terms and two of my favourites - alliteration and Play! These panels come in close to 8'' square, bigger if you include some white space. I see these are small wrapped canvasses, the centers of improv log cabins, pockets... endless possibilities.
Speaking of pockets, I used a few of these on a new apron pattern.
The pattern for the Craft and Play Apron is free! Something fun, super easy to make, and it takes advantage of those cool panels. But really, you could use any fabric you like. My beautiful friend G is modelling for me here, but I've been wearing my own apron while sewing. It keeps things rather close by. And for those of you that do craft shows, it would be perfect!
Download the pattern for free from Connecting Threads or Craftsy. Not everything is for sale. This is my treat for you!

Stephanie received the opportunity of reviewing Hard Candy Foundation in exchange for this post. All opinions expressed here are honest and her own.
Hi lovies! I was so excited when Lindsey told me about this opportunity to try out Hard Candy's newest foundation. I'm a complete sucker for trying out new makeup products, and I especially love when they are affordable.
Here's a little bit about my makeup history. I've loved makeup forever, check out this photo of me "wear" lipstick as a two-year old.
Baby Photo
About three years ago I started training hard on professional makeup techniques by watching Youtubers and implementing what I saw. Truly, makeup is one of my passions now. Not only for myself, but I love helping my friends find makeup products that make them feel even more beautiful inside and out. Now, I show what I know on my own blog, DIY Made Simple, and on my Youtube channel, here. Now that you know what makes me qualified to review this product, let's get to what I thought.
Hard candy is a brand I haven't had much experience working with, but I have read and watched many reviews of their products. All their products are very affordable, and can be found at your local Walmart. Some of their products are even dupes for more expensive brands. Let's see how these products stood up to my tests.
I was sent the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Full Coverage Foundation and Translucent Matifying Powder for consideration. This full coverage foundation comes in eight shades and is only $7.
Immediately, I was impressed with the amount of product you receive for only $7. Most drugstore foundations are $10-12 dollars, and only include half as much product, so it'll a great value! The pump top keeps bacteria from spreading, and is a great sanitary alternative to foundations you have to pour out on your hand.
The formula is thick, and gives a medium to full coverage. I enjoy the build-ability of the foundation, which allows me to give more coverage on sections of my face that are suffering from breakouts.
My face tends to be dry, but I found that this foundation was very moisturizing and so it was a great option for me. However, if you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend it because it might accentuate shine after long hours of wearing. This foundation boasts about lasting for 12 hours, and I definitely agree. It stayed put for hours without needing a touch up!
I was also impressed with the translucent powder that accompanied this foundation. It's a great option for matifying a liquid based foundation and locking it into place. Due to the white tint of the "transulcet" powder, it will give a flashback in photographs, which is something to consider before wearing any makeup.
Overall, I was impressed with the longevity and coverage provided by Hard Candy's camoflauge foundation. It's a great option for any looking for day-to-day wearability, or looking to grow their makeup collection.
If you're as makeup obsessed as I am, follow my blog, DIY Made Simple.

Despite the much-ballyhooed arrival of LeBron James and Kevin Love, point guard Kyrie Irving will be taking on the sole responsibility of handling the ball and getting everyone on track.
For the past three years, Irving was forced to carry a large share of the scoring on some mediocre Cavalier teams, is now ready to move forward and assert himself into the conversation of being one of the best point guards in the league.
While other point guards such as Chris Paul, Derrick Williams, Stephen Curry, John Wall and Derrick Rose tend to get more attention, Irving did make the All-Star team in back-to-back years and earned MVP honors in last year's game. Irving finished the 2013-14 season shooting at a career-low .430 from the field and .358 on 3-pointers.
Now that James and Love are in the fold, Irving should now be able to work as a true point guard, and not have to shoulder so much of the scoring load.
With James, Love, Dion Waiters, Mike Miller and Shawn Marion on board, there will be no reason for Irving to dribble through his legs four times while trying to beat double and triple-teams with the shot clock winding down.
While Irving was playing with guys like James Harden, Curry and Anthony Davis in helping Team USA to the gold medal at the FIBA World Cup this summer, it really showed his abilities to dominate offensively and his tremendous play-making abilities.
One of Irving's tasks is to improve his playmaking abilities while maintaining his offensive aggressiveness. Irving has to learn to play off the ball at times—just as James had to do with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. He also needs to improve his defense and play with and against the best in the league.
After all, Irving is playing with the one of the best players in the league in James and Cleveland will be depending on "The Big Three" to carry the Cavaliers into the first-ever NBA title.

Savasana aka Deep Relaxation
Deep Relaxation (Savasana)
Deep Relaxation or Savasana is usually done at the end of a yoga practice
How to: Lay on your back with your arms at your sides and palms facing up. Let your feet and legs open slightly more than hip distance. Close your eyes. You can place an eye pillow over your eyes to encourage them to stay closed. Let your entire body relax. Let all thoughts float away and just listen to your breath. Stay here for 3-15 minutes. Kids under age 5 can usually do a deep relaxation for 1-3 minutes. 5 & up can vary from 5-10 minutes. Adults can do as much as 15 minutes.
Younger kids may enjoy for you to read a guided visualization story to help them relax. I love using Carolyn Clarke's book, "Imaginations: Fun Relaxation Stories and Meditation for Kids"
Kids also may enjoy a gentle massage to their head, hands/arms, and/or feet. Kids can give a gentle massage to their adult as well!
Benefits: Deep relaxation helps to rest and rejuvenate the entire body. Every yoga practice should end with a Savasana to seal in the benefits of your yoga practice!

London Ontario Engagement Photographer | Kaela & Wayne
It was a little chilly on the day of Kaela and Wayne's engagement session, but this adorable couple made the best of it and was all smiles. To say these two are adorable together would be a huge understatement. I loved having them in front of my lens, and they made my job easy with all of the laughter and loving looks. Here are my favourites from our session!

Well, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo was released yesterday, and me being me decided to try it. The demo is about 1.3GB on PSN - and it shows you exactly what to expect when the game finally ships in about a month's time. (It's the same demo in the exclusive GameTrailers videos and I think the same demo that was shown at GC2008.) The demo played exactly as expected, giving you a good sense of power, being able to throw around practically anything that isn't tethered to the ground, and the Force meter depletes in a very sensible way. What do I mean by sensible? It doesn't deplete while you are fiddling with something you've Force Gripped (at least in easy, didn't bother trying harder difficulties), which means plenty of leeway to fiddle with something in the full 3D space (yes, you can control it to move left, right, up, down, forwards and backwards relative to your character, and if you are forceful enough, you can get it to actually rotate).
The way Force Lightning is used seems like a pretty sensible evolution for someone who has a lot of energy to spare, imbuing your lightsaber attacks with lightning and even a small shockwave. You have a sensible air combo with which to attack enemies, and taking down larger more difficult enemies require QTE-esque button pressing, which is fine.
So, what's wrong with it? It seems that Western developers can never get the camera right. (Too Human being the poster child of high profile game with terrible camera. At least in the demo, I'm not gonna even buy the full game seeing how 1up and gamespot tore it up.) The camera isn't broken, but you do occasionally find yourself fighting with the camera since if you can't see the enemy, you can't lock onto them. This means that pressing the lock button in hopes it will give you sight of your next enemy is unfortunately not gonna work. This is actually perfectly acceptable, since you can lock on to quite the variety of objects, so that could cause a problem.
There is the occasional strange bug with the camera, where the camera can somehow end up stuck in a peculiar angle under your character, I'm not sure why, I'm not sure how, but it is annoying to have it just plain stuck. Thoughtfully, a camera center/reset system is in place and is triggered by pressing down on the right stick (PS owners will know this as R3.), which does remedy the problem, although it would've been much nicer if the camera didn't get stuck to begin with.
The game should be pretty good. It'll come down to level design and enemy variety, I guess.

I went to Lowes Home Improvement Store today and…WTH? The Christmas Trees are up already. I get it after Halloween, but not before!!! It's only October 6th. It makes my head hurt. I'm going to go watch Hocus Pocus to get me back in the Halloween mood 🙂
It's 97 Degrees Outside but….Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween! I mean this picture can only mean that Halloween is like next month, right?
Yes…this is what I found when I went food shopping. WTH? This is just way too early people!
October 1, 2015 = Awesomeness!
Yeah it finally arrived…October 1, 2015. For me it is the beginning of Halloween season. I love Autumn and Halloween! I start off every October by watching Hocus Pocus!
It is my most favorite Halloween Movie of all time and is on my top 10 list of favorite movies of all time. I loved this movie so much when it came out that I saw it 4x at the theater. I then planned my next year's vacation around it. I went to visit Salem, Massachusetts to walk the walk of the movie sites. Allison's house, the neighborhood, The School and park, Town Hall and the Salem Village. I LOVED IT! I loved it so much that I went back for the next two October's to relive the fun. I also read every book I could find on the Salem Witch Trials. That was a rather nasty business but the history of it was amazing.
If you ever go to Salem for Halloween/October just remember it is their busiest tourist season. I had to make my hotel reservations 1 year in advance (this was recommended by the city website for Haunted Happenings). I stayed in the neighboring town of Danvers and loved it.
What's my second movie to watch for Halloween Month…Why Nightmare Before Christmas of course!
Happy October Everybody!
All My Dead People
Yesterday was Halloween. It is said it is the one day a year that the dead can rise. In Catholicism, today is All Saint's Day. What I'm saying is that between 10/31 and 11/2 it's all about the dead folks. So I'm sharing some personal Dead Folks with you all. Also I love old pictures.
Looking closely at this picture I noticed that my Mother had the same type of feet as her Grandmother. Weird.
And for my last photo of the no longer living….
I know that these are pictures of people I'm related too but I have no idea who they are. It's always bothered me that I have pictures of people I don't know but that I feel I should know. The man sitting on the right kind of looks like my Great-Grandfather. Maybe it's his brother? I should have asked him when he came back for Halloween.
Oh well…maybe next year.
Another Autumn Day
I can't decide if I've missed peak season for leaf color. The People In The Know all say it's this weekend but I kind of feel it was last weekend. Either way I wanted to get in some Autumn pictures before the Nor'Easter hits us this weekend. So I went out yesterday at lunch time and took some pictures.
Here's me taking a picture of me and leaves.
The season goes so fast. Halloween is next week (YEAH) and not long after is Thanksgiving and Christmas. I feel every year swings around just a little faster. Yes I know that defies the laws of Physics but I'm talking about feelings not an actual quantitative element like time. You know…cause that's how I roll!
An Unrequited Love
I do not like spiders but they seem to love me. We've had a lot of rain over the last few weeks and with it being October the spiders have been everywhere. Hey I know they serve a purpose but seriously…they are creepy and I don't like creepy.
This guy apparently thought he'd have an unauthorized party at my place and invited friends…here's one of his pals.
Bean was laughing because while she was capturing and releasing these guys I was standing behind a door. Tough girl I ain't!
On other horizons…we got to put up our Halloween directions. It's very Halloweenie at our house so feel free to be jealous 🙂
Michael Meyers Is Calling…um Do I Have To Take The Call?
So over the last 2 days I've heard the song "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes like 6 times. In fact, it is playing on the radio right now while I'm typing. Yesterday I was watching Halloween II and the movie opens to this song. Then it made me think of it from the movie Halloween H20 and then I was singing it in the car on the way to work. Now it's back again…not unlike the presumed dead (x10ish) Michael Meyers.
Should I be concerned I'm being stalked indirectly by a bad representation of William Shatner who wields a large knife? Beam Me Up Jamie Lee!

"Can someone please oil the Democratic machine? It's destroying the wrong Republican."
– David Plouffe
A note from our attorneys: This is not a real quote
And where is Mrs Cain in this embarrassing drama ? Looks like the wife isn´t supporting her husband. Hmmmmm….
Just like Janice/Granny Jan I wish that Mr Cain would leave the stage so focus can be on Obama and his shady doings.
He was overheard complaining to Sarkozy that "he had to deal with Netanyahu all the time". In the news over here there is a lot of talk about the probable Iran nuclear weapons. I wonder if Mr Netanyahu has been trying to talk to Obama about this immediate threat and Obama just didn´t want to listen.
Good point–little low on the Obama stuff…my raisin detree, as Daffy would say.

A new study by Arizona State University found that people discarding their disposable contacts by flushing them could be contributing to plastics pollution.
In the U.S., approximately 45 million people wear contacts. The study found around 15 to 20 percent of wearers don't dispose of their old lenses in waste containers, and instead flush them down toilets or sinks.
The study, presented at the National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society, estimates between 1.8 to 3.4 billion lenses get flushed per year, equaling 20 to 23 metric tons plastics waste.
Because the contact lenses are made with stronger plastics, they do not break down when exposed to microbes while going through a sewage treatment plant.
Researchers found that the old contacts instead become smaller pieces and are prevalent in wastewater sludge after sewage treatment.
The sludge is then deposited on land where lenses can then be washed into lakes and rivers where they are then by fish, birds or other animals. (Next Animation via Reuters)

Book Review: 5 Gears
"Relational intelligence is the future competitive advantage for leaders."Jeremie Kubichek
I was on an airplane, sitting by the window reading, when BOTH people next to me interrupted my quiet with a question, "Are you reading a book about cars?"
Not quite.
Unless you notice the subtitle (How to be Present & Productive When There's Never Enough Time) "5 Gears" does sound like a car book.
In practicality, the book by Jeremie Kubichek and Steve Cockram is a word picture which leverages the common image of a manual car transmission.
The analogy goes like this: Like a car, we all move and operate in a gear. To operate effectively you must do two essential things:
1) Know what gear you're in, and 2) Make sure the gear is appropriate to the situation.
You can recognize a good word picture when the images take something complex and make it understandable and sticky. However, a GREAT word picture is when the ideas aren't just digested by an individual, but can be easily transferred from person to person. You know when this happens because suddenly everyone is using the same vocabulary.
Strangely enough, when I started explaining the gear model to my fellow travelers, not only did they immediately latch onto the language, they started discussing whether they were using their gears properly.
It was like having a mini-5 gears -focus group in row 12 at 30,000 ft.
I had to laugh because just as I was experiencing testimonial fatigue (there are lots and lots and lots of testimonies), I found myself living one!
The word picture definitely qualifies as great.
Kubichek/Cockram set up the scenario beautifully with a couple of pages where they lead the reader through a reality check of powerful questions:
When do you tend to run over people? What are you afraid of losing? Where has your influence declined?
And they are just getting started. The exercise is pretty typical of what this book does, namely challenging you to become more self-aware. They practically guarantee a painful process:
"Pain can be a good thing...pain itself is meant to bring attention to an issue in the body...if you are feeling pain in an area, run toward it because it might be the area that needs some focus."
After going through the inventory, they get on with describing the 5 gears. There are chapters on each gear, which are far more eloquent than I can describe, but like a car they compare our running gears as gradually picking up speed as we become more engaged in the external world of relationships and/or tasks. I think of the gears in terms of my favorite/highest performance days and then apply the warm up process accordingly.
1st Gear - personal time - for me this means writing morning pages when I first wake up. 2nd Gear - making tea and grabbing breakfast with Billy before kids get up. 3rd Gear - chatting with the kids and then colleagues before the day gets rolling. 4th Gear - multi-tasking work/social life/chores and feeling super productive. 5th Gear - in my old world this was when I would proof contracts and bring my best heads-down focus.
If I wind up the day in reverse order then - presto! - Life is beautiful!
On Amazon, the publisher was kind enough to include the 5 gears diagram so you can see the outline for yourself.
The goal of the book isn't about judging our gears; there are no "bad" gears. In fact Kubichek/Cockram argue we need to access every gear. Instead, the goal of this book is to create a common language to raise our awareness of how we use our time and to give an easy way to communicate with others about whether our gear works in the given situation.
In my own life I am pretty terrible at second gear. I am a "putzer," which I think is German for "can't sit down if there's something out of place in the kitchen." This isn't something I naturally pay attention to, but should my family decide to use 5 gear language, they would be able to call out this tendency.
Did I say you should share this language with others? Hmmmm. I suppose that's only true if you really want to grow.
It's easy to see that this book's impact can only go so far if you're reading it by yourself. While self-improvement is great, the real potential for this material is leveraging it with a team, group, or family. I can imagine how a team would be impacted when they recognize their own gears and when they have the language (and permission) to help each other shift well.
In the meantime, I'll be working on developing my skills on the road (or, perhaps, in the air!).

The King of Carnivale
Nik Glover on the fine line between horror and tragedy tread by Tod Browning with his film, Freaks…
In his 1932, pre-code 'horror' Freaks, Tod Browning made the then shocking decision to cast people with real physical deformities as his stars, contrasting the perceived inhumanity of the beautiful, gold-digging villain Cleopatra with the supportive, loving family of deformed circus performers who band together to defend wronged midget Hans, taking a grotesque revenge on her and her strongman lover.
The film was marketed as the latest in a long, money-making run of horror films (including Dracula, Island of Lost Souls and Frankenstein) to portray the macabre onscreen, rather than the simple morality tale it in fact was. Lumping it in with monster flicks runs the risk of undermining an otherwise powerful comment on the exploitation of minorities, rampant in the Western world around the turn of the century.
A world bruised and bloodied from a recent World War, and in many places driven to desperation by the Wall Street Crash, took its pleasures where it could find them. A slew of films focusing on the outsider or anti-hero appeared, including King Kong (1933), The Invisible Man (1933) and the bitter and influential All Quiet On The Western Front (1930). Societies norms were subverted, either through the riotous comedy of the Marx Brothers in A Day At The Races (1937) and Duck Soup (1933), or the more staid Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). The same dissenters and revolutionaries would face imprisonment and liquidation under the Third Reich, and suffer the effects of the establishment's fightback during the McCarthy witch-hunts.
Keeping a balanced tone for such a bizarre and visceral movie must have been incredibly challenging; today, calling Freaks a horror film feels like doing its stars a disservice. The shocking original ending (which involved castration and other mutilation, and was cut following test screenings) has been lost, leaving the film at just over an hour long. What Browning achieved was not immediately recognised, the film effectively ending his career despite the classic status awarded to his previous directorial effort, 1931's Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi. For a long time, the film like its protagonists, was seriously misunderstood.
Freaks is no more a traditional horror film than The Shining is a film about hotel getaways. Though fairly broadstroke in depicting the 'normals' as cruel and avaricious, and the 'freaks' as innocent and kind, Browning is attentive to the importance of not allowing his moral message to come across too plainly. The transformation of the Freaks from familial (if slightly creepy) kindness as they welcome the devious Cleopatra into their community during a costumed banquet ("Gobble-gobble… One of us, One of us"), to mud-splattered avenging angels, is one of the great examples of cinematic about-face, and poses fiendishly difficult moral questions.
The universality of Freaks can perhaps be overstated. It is tempting to read the film as a morally justifiable revenge flick, because the 'heroes' are easier to root for than those of Deathwish or Straw Dogs, released during a wave of reactionary vigilantism on screen in the 1970's. Taking the side of violence is more tempting when it is the minority carrying it out – the moral argument however, does not stand up.
It is impossible for us, with the saturation of horrific images on television, to put ourselves in the shoes of the audience who might have seen Freaks upon its intended release. We can see real-life body-horror whenever we want to, be it on phone-in advice shows like Embarrassing Bodies (Channel 4) or fat-sploitation docs like Big Body Squad (5*), wherein engineers arrive at one corpulent lady's home to hoist her out of the building, and to a new life in a nursing home. It is tempting to watch Freaks as a sideshow in itself, a curio from a time when film-makers more often than not sought to reinforce the status-quo, and when a film with such a troubling theme could not possibly pass the censors.
But Freaks is very much a film of its time, even if, in its execution it was ahead of graphic sensibilities. Browning had already expressed a fascination with the psychological impact of deformity, and in particular the after-effects of amputation in The Penalty (1920), The Show (1927) and The Unknown (1927). He seems to have been obsessed with circus performers (he ran away from home at 16 to join a travelling sideshow), directing a string of films that posited characters on the edges of normal society clashing with cultural and social convention, and questioning the effects of physical deformity on personal development.
In Freaks he tries to combine these sensibilities with a horrific climax that makes us question the whole conceit of the film. If Browning wants us to see the freaks in a positive light, why does he allow them such a vicious revenge? Is he empowering the powerless, or turning a moral trick in a film so deeply imprinted with his own love of celebrating the 'other'?
Perhaps the argument is more clean-cut that it appears. If the freaks are at heart just like 'everybody else', they too have it in them to perpetrate monstrous acts. Whether we back them in their endeavour or not is our own business. What is lightest and darkest in us all, never appears in its true form without burrowing deeply below the surface.

Avoid Snags - Perfect Wedding Etiquette for the Groom's Parents
During a wedding, besides the bride and the groom, many other people, like their parents, have a role to play. Take a look at the wedding etiquette for the groom's parents who also contribute majorly at the wedding.
Aparna Jadhav
Last Updated: Feb 1, 2018
Traditionally, a wedding is supposed to be a gift to the bride from her parents, but today the rules have changed. Both the bride and the groom make their wedding a beautiful and memorable occasion by sharing each other's expenses and involving their families.
Even though there are many different views about weddings, individuals like the best man, bridesmaids, maid of honor, bride's mom and dad, and groom's parents are actively involved in various aspects.
It is well-known that everyone involved in the wedding has a particular etiquette that needs to be followed at specific times during the wedding. Similarly, there are some rules for the groom's parents as well. In the following article, we will be going through a few wedding etiquette.
Wedding Etiquette for Groom's Family
There are numerous things which have to be done before and at a wedding, most of which are applicable to the bride's side. But, the groom's parents too have a specific role to play.
★ Traditionally, it is said that when a couple decides to get married, it is the groom's parents who have to initiate the meeting between the two sets of parents. Even if they've met before or know each other very well, they should formally meet the bride's parents before the wedding preparations start.
★ The meeting should be done officially to announce the engagement and the will of both the sides. It could be done through a phone call by inviting them over for dinner or simply a cup of coffee. This tradition is done for the simple reason, that if the two families are not known to each other, they can get acquainted and maintain a good relationship for the years to come.
★ Another traditional etiquette is sharing the expenses of the wedding. Today, the couples decides the details about the expenses, but earlier it wasn't this way. The groom's parents are expected to pay for the rehearsal dinner and to hold the dinner at their residence.
★ If the wedding expenses are also being shared by them, it is completely acceptable to ask the wedding couple to lower their expectations about the rehearsal dinner and have a homely affair. Even though these traditions are followed by many couples, some who are very independent don't mind inviting their parents for the wedding and not asking them to share any expenses.
★ In some weddings the groom's parents are expected to pay for the bride's wedding ring and even her dress, but that totally depends on the couple.
Individual Etiquette for...
Groom's Mother
The groom's mother is however supposed to be a busy woman on the wedding day. She has the responsibility to manage the bride's wedding gown, but if the bride's mother is present, she can let her handle it.
She shouldn't match her dress with the bridesmaid dresses or the one for the maid of honor as that is the bride's family affair. She should only complement or match the color of her dress to those of the bride's side.
Groom's Father
The groom's father has no major responsibilities regarding the wedding, except for helping with the arrangements, if asked. He has to escort the ladies to their pews if needed. If the groom's parents are divorced or remarried, all he has to do is escort his current wife to be seated in the pew behind the groom's mother.
Thus, the above wedding etiquette are to be followed by choice and also by discussing with all the family members including the wedding couple!

Marking the publication of HH Princess Olga Romanff's memoirs in early October this year we are joined by the author to discuss her life, upbringing and experience of life in Britain.
Princess Olga is the daughter of the eldest nephew of Tsar Nicholas II. The book has been published to coincide with the centenary of the events that led to the murder of the Tsar and his family.
The Princess will be in conversation with Irina Kukota. Followed by book signing. In English.
This event is organised in collaboration with Russian Art & Culture.
Princess Olga's father managed to flee turbulent Russia at the end of 1918 together with his first wife and father, while his mother Grand Duchess Xenia, the tsar's sister, and his grandmother, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Maria Feodorovna, were rescued from the Crimea four months later by the British battleship HMS Marlborough.
Life in Britain
The fabled Romanov jewels that they were able to smuggle out had to be sold and the exiled family
lived for some time at various grace-and-favour homes on the estates of the royal residences of Windsor, Hampton Court and Balmoral.
When Prince Andrei married Nadine McDougall, the rambling 30 room Provender House, now open to the public, became his home. Stories from his time in Russia before the revolution - many of them hitherto untold – were passed down to Princess Olga by her father.
Princess Olga will also talk about her home - Provender House - that is crammed full of fascinating Romanov memorabilia, from the crockery used by the Tsar and his family during their final captivity in Ekaterinburg, to the diamond blade penknife used for scratching the news of Prince Andrei's birth on a window pane in the Winter Palace – still there for visitors to see.
Please note that Pushkin House will hold the tickets of latecomers for twenty minutes following the event start time, after which unclaimed tickets will be released.
If you are running late, please contact us in order to avoid this.

It's helpful to let us know where your wedding venue is, how many portions of cake you require and a rough idea of the type of wedding cake you have in mind…number of tiers, design style and of course your maximum budget if you have one.
We can then provide some initial options and prices for you.. If you like the sound of any of these, we can go into more detail regarding the intricacies of the design options, different sizes/heights of wedding cakes, whether you want the entire wedding cake as actual cake or if you are happy to incorporate some false tiers to enable your dream wedding cake to come in on budget. This can be done entirely via email and/or phone, but if you would like to come for a face-to-face consultation, simply contact us to make an appointment at a convenient time for you. There is a charge of £50.00 for consultation appointments and this is fully deductible from your final invoice, but non refundable if you choose not to book with us.

I will then prepare design sketches for your perusal and these can be altered and tweaked until you are completely happy with the design and details.

If we have availability in the diary we have been known to design and create a wedding cake with as little as one week's notice!
Wedding cake flavours can be decided upon at the initial booking stage or left until nearer the date to decide. Simply let us know when you are ready to choose the flavours of your wedding cake tiers and which particular flavours you would like to try and we will arrange delivery of a selection of cake samples at a time to suit you. Often couples will want to share the tasting experience with members of the family, it's a really nice way to involve parents in some of the decision making and get some all-important feedback!

This includes accessorising the wedding cake table to make it a real feature display.
We will also discuss with you where you would like the wedding cake positioning in the reception room, and if you have any preferences. Often a wedding venue will have a standard spot for the wedding cake, but this might not be the most visually pleasing backdrop so don't think that's where it has to be. If you're happy to leave it to me, I will liaise with your Wedding Venue/Planner and find the best possible position for the cake table to show it off to it's full glory. It's your dream wedding cake, let's give it the stage it deserves!

Why use posBoss emoji staff logins?
Till software shouldn't be fun!
Well, why not?
it should not only be easy to use and improve your business but it could be a little fun too! That's why we decided to use emoji's for staff logins to posBoss.
But fun aside, why should you use staff logins? Let's cover that in three parts: Communication, Ownership and Celebration
Communication is key in a busy hospo operation. We're all stressed, the chef's is totally over the poor handwriting of a written docket and the kitchen don't know who to talk to about those tables upstairs. Using a printer and posBoss staff logins, this tension can be easily relieved. Well printed, clear dockets, signed off with the server name means the kitchen and manager can stay on top of what's happening on the floor and if any issues occur or questions are raised, they know straight away who to talk to.
Ownership of an order is key to understanding how your team is performing and where training is required. At a glance in the posBoss app's history, the floor manager can quickly understand which team member or section is nailing it and which sections are lagging, allowing for quick decision making and smoother service. You are able to easily view who closed off a transaction or performed an action on a tab, again, picking up where any human errors are being made and allowing you to upskill key team members on the day.
Celebration is key to keeping your team's morale high. With posBoss emoji staff logins you can see who in your team is nailing the sales at a particular time in the history of the app. Track a great review to the staff member that served them, and celebrate big sales days with the team that worked on the day.
Emoji staff logins are now live in posBoss so get in touch to get started or learn more.

Sometimes location is irrelevant, to some buyers/
One Pinetum Lane (corner of Bible Street) listed for $4.475 after failing to sell last year for $5.295, reports a pending sale. Impressively large house, and directly across from the Cos Cob Archery Club, if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm surprised that the buyer wan't scared off by the price history here.
Nothing on Pinetum itself has ever sold for anything close to this amount, but some new construction nearby on Bible Street itself has. 206 Bible sold for $3.715, 192 Bible for $3.150, and 196 Bible for $4.050, but all three of those transactions took place in 2006 and 2007, at the height of the market, and I wasn't aware that the Cos Cob market has improved since then. 196 Bible, for instance, that $4, 2007 sale, resold in 2010 for $2.9.
But again: this is grand house, and if the buyers plan to stay for a while: say, decade, they should be fine.
UPDATE. The interior decorating job is certainly er ... exotic (I believe we commented on this back in 2016)
