- Halve 1 dozen Brussels sprouts.
- Heat oven to 375F.
- Toss sprouts in 4 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, tossing occasionally.

|Alfie singing along with the harmonica!
Sorry folks, but this is the post where I inundate you with Alfie photos, for it has been one whole year since we bought the little fellow home to become a part of our family.
And wow, what a part of the family he is!
He is the most predictable thing in my life. As soon as he hears me stir in the morning, guaranteed he's up and off his bed and in my room looking to see if I'm awake. I usually try to pretend to be asleep so as to stop him from jumping up and lying right on my face.
Alfie comes with me to wake the kids up, and likes to have a play with Casper the budgie who flies playfully around his head stirring him up like crazy! A funny sight.
Then whilst making the kids breakfast, Alfie will be at my feet wanting his breakfast too, so I make him his bowl of cereal (his favourite is Nutri-grain!)
He will most likely annoy the kids while they're trying to eat and watch their morning cartoons, and they'll growl but he thinks they're playing.
He knows when we're leaving for the day because he looks all sad, and the kids say his tail droops down instead of curling up, then they feel bad for growling at him earlier.
He is a great little guy to have around. He is the friendliest dog and just loves it when we have visitors.
He loves cuddles and belly rubs.
He loves the cats more than anything!
He has a really cute underbite so looks like he is smiling all the time.
He has even managed to win Ben over, who didn't want a dog but did eventually agree to let us get one.
I couldn't choose just one or 2 photos of Alfie, so here's a whole load.
For even more cuteness, have a look at the day we brought him home!

I wanted to take a moment to write a brief letter commending the Cayman Airways Flight to NYC.
I have taken the flight several times and I just love the non-hassle, direct travel arrangements!
I find Cayman Airways to be the most accommodating airline. It has the no hassle check-in the day before, the Web check in. and the fast baggage check at the airport. It does not charge for the first or second bag. It serves hot dinners on the NY flight not to mention the famous rum punch and breakfast coming back home. And let me tell you it is delicious!
The staff is so friendly and helpful. And they always have a smile even when there are delays.
I totally recommend taking the flight if you wish to visit NY to visit family and friends or just to do some
sightseeing, catch a Broadway show, or have a great meal in Little Italy or Chinatown. There are hundreds of things to do!
I also wanted to add that Cayman Airways Cargo is also a pleasure to use.

Third and last personal logo for GD1.
The last logo had to show the meaning of my name. I went with my middle name, Olivier, which is the original french version of Oliver. Originally from the nordic name, Áleifr, meaning "elf-host" or "elf-army," the spelling was later changed to associate it with the latin word oliva, meaning "olive tree."

It's that time of year again! The Madison Area Builder's Association Parade of Homes has begun and we are pleased to have two homes in this year's Parade; Fox Point in Sun Prairie and Kilkenny Farms in Waunakee.
Spending an afternoon or evening walking through these beautifully decorated and furnished homes is particularly valuable if you are considering building, remodeling or are currently in the building or remodeling process. Not only will you have the opportunity to meet with builders face-to-face, you will be able to see an example of the quality and craftsmanship of their work.
Here are some key areas to check out when you're visiting the Parade of Homes:
FLOOR PLAN LAYOUT: You will tour all sorts of two-story and single story floor plan layouts. See what type of flow feels best to you. Do you like all the bedrooms together or do you like separation? Living rooms with a view to the back yard and living rooms with a window in the front of the house. Laundry rooms on 2nd floors near the bedrooms and laundry rooms connected to mud rooms. The possibilities are endless.
WALL COLORS: If you're considering painting rooms in your home or trying to choose what colors for your new home, this is your chance to see how different colors look painted in a room versus on a color swatch at the hardware store. Many of the homes will have information on display as to the brand and color of each paint color used in the home.
LIGHT FIXTURES: Not only is walking through a lighting showroom hard on your neck, but it can be difficult to envision fixtures in a home. At the Parade, you'll see how different fixtures accentuate each room.
FLOORING: Rarely to do you get to see flooring options installed and how these products feel under your feet. Do you like the wood floor installed at an angle? What type of tile installation to you like for your floors, back splash and shower?
INTERIOR TRIM & DOORS: This is one of those items people seem to forget about when thinking about building a new home. They may know early on if they want white trim or painted wood trim, but are unsure of what trim and door style. Look at the casing around the doors and windows. Look along the floor for the size and style of the base.
COUNTERS: This is an easy one and probably one of the most looked at features at the Parade. The variety of materials and colors will amaze you.
THE PEOPLE: The most important part of building a home or undertaking a remodeling project is the people you choose to work with throughout the process. During the Parade, builders and their reps, are in the homes looking forward to your questions and feedback. Is the person you're speaking with receptive to your questions and knowledgeable about the products and materials in the home?
Whatever your reason for visiting the Parade, whether it be for research or just pure enjoyment, there is something to take away for everyone.

text: Bourne Ultimatum, The Product Code: D-00345 Quantity: $2.95 inc. tax Add to Cart Facebook Google + Pinterest Twitter Description Matt Damon returns as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in this fast-paced follow-up to 2002's THE BOURNE IDENTITY. The government's most wanted amnesiac super-spy returns in this thrilling third installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM picks up where the THE BOURNE SUPREMACY left off, with Bourne once again racing around the globe, desperate to uncover the secrets of his identity. Having just lost his girlfriend and only companion, his search for answers is now fuelled by much more than his own self-preservation. The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. He quickly discovers that the government conspiracy runs far deeper than he realized, and so begins a riveting, action-packed game of cat and mouse with the CIA. Bourne plows through the bad guys like a mini-tornado, and after some breathtaking fight sequences and several nail-biting car chases, he closes in on the truth in a climactic stand-off on the streets (and rooftops) of New York City. Joan Allen and David Strathairn are excellent as two battling CIA directors, and Julia Styles pops up for a small but important turn as Bourne's former government contact. Matt Damon continues to give Bourne the perfect mix of tough guy determination and sad-eyed desperation, and despite his physics-defying fists, he never comes off as the invincible super hero. Rather, the appeal of Bourne remains in his humanness--he feels pain, bloodies his knuckles, and mourns the loss of his lover. It's this emotional and physical vulnerability that keeps you on the edge of the seat, holding your breath for him. Well, that and the totally awesome fight scenes, of course.

Sunderland AFC have a new chief executive and he faces a busy summer when he starts work at the Stadium of Light.
Martin Bain is the man tasked with the day-to-day running of the club when he starts his new role in July.
We have taken a look at the six key challenges facing him including getting the club on a firm financial footing, sorting out new deals for key Sunderland players and helping Sam Allardyce in the transfer market.
Click here for the full story:
One of Bain's first tasks as chief executive will be to help Allardyce shift Sunderland's remaining dead-wood as quickly as possible.
Bain faces a busy summer when he arrives on Wearside at the start of July.
Allardyce was able to free up much-needed wages during the course of the season when he offloaded several players deemed surplus to requirements.
But several unwanted players are due back for pre-season following loan spells.
Allardyce told the Echo: "We'll address the situation as part of the big summer turnaround.
"We'll try to do it as quickly as we possibly can.
"They have been out on loan and we'll try to get them back out on loan again at the earliest opportunity, if we can't move them on permanently."
And finally, Sunderland are among a host of clubs monitoring Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal according to reports.
The 24-year-old French-born Algerian wideman only has a year remaining on his contract at the French giants with his future very much in doubt.
Southampton, Liverpool, Stoke City, Arsenal, West Ham United and North East neighbours Middlesbrough have all been linked with the winger.

I thought a couple of 'collages' would be the best way to transmit the most information in the smallest space. The contents of the above picture more or less explain themselves. The bottom row are all from the Royal Dockyards at Chatham where we had a brilliant day. In the bottom right corner you can see the 'slip cover' which is applying for World Heritage status in its own right. Historic ships such as The Victory had their timbers laid there, and there they stayed until the wood had seasoned.
We spent some time also in the Royal Lifeboat Museum which Pete B would have enjoyed.
Our journey down was uneventful and the 'Tim Draper Holiday' system worked flawlessly. Our taxi arrived on time, our seats were comfortable. Our driver was Claire and our courier was Neil, both of whom we've had the pleasure of travelling with before.
The Hilton Hotel at Maidstone well justifies its 4 star rating and, if you open the link, the slide-show gives an accurate visual summary of the place. One couldn't fault the food, although I have decided that, for me, with my present fragile digestion, the simpler dishes on the menu suit me best. One breakfast time we witnessed an amazing event. A middle-aged lady (not of our party) literally had everything. Fruit juice, cereal, porridge, large (and I do mean large) fried breakfast followed by substantial continental breakfast with croissant, cooked meats and cheese, followed by more fruit juice, and then toast, then another croissant .... We gave up at this stage .......
We both slept very well. The swimming pool was good, although Y used it more than I did. I just went in the once and managed 4 strokes of dog-paddle. But I was surprised at my bouyancy - I just seemed to 'float' ha ha!
Later in our holiday came Chartwell and Royal Tunbridge Wells and, on the last day, The Imperial War Museum at RAF Duxford.
Chartwell of course, was Sir Winston Churchill's home and we had an interesting visit. Then came The Pantiles at Royal Tunbridge Wells which again we both loved.
The 'different shops' commended it to us. In so many town-centre shopping places one always gets M & S, Waterstones, John Lewis, and Next etc., - not so here. We found a lovely kitchen shop called Mottrams where I found some small glasses with handles, for tea with lemon but no milk etc.
On the last day, during the return journey, we visited the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and managed to spend several hours there.
Claire and Neil's decision to change first day/last day was inspired. The Bluewater shopping complex (first day) held little attraction for us whereas the War Museum (last day) could have occupied us for more than one day. We were lucky with the weather - bright sun, little cloud, and little or no wind (just enough to waft the wind-sock away from its pole) and there was so much to see. Y managed a trip in this Spitfire versus Messerschmitt 109
I'll leave her to tell you about it in her 'comment'.
My responses to your previous comments
Bob ..... Admittedly I did not announce our forthcoming holiday in upper case. but I did say we were going away. Anyway - we are back now and it has been a most enjoyable experience.
Not the sort of holiday which lays one low for a fortnight thereafter.
I understand your '2nd post' remark now. The blog-clock seems to start the moment I put pen-to-paper and, if close to midnight, it is easy to be confused as to the actual day. It is possible to go into HTML to change the time but it is too much faff.
Pleased for your sake that the weather allowed you to avoid Alex's 19th shennanigins. Glad you enjoyed the 'snap' though, even if you over-did it. At the moment very small portions suit me. Not only is it better for my digestion but my weight continues to fall satisfactorily.
Pete B ..... Glad you enjoyed the Mark Twain bit (Tom Sawyer). I think the 'fence-painting' passage is justifiably famous and if it led you back to the novel I feel really chuffed !
The RNLI museum as mentioned above, was extremely interesting and I have more pictures to send you in due course. You are actually our only 'seafarer'. Having said that, Y has a rambling chum Dick Playfair, who served on the Arctic Convoys during the war. He is too old now for active rambling but they exchange letters around Xmas time.
Hope your joint exercise, with the helicopter, was a success. I haven't managed to scrounge enough time yet to visit your site and find out for myself.

The wave of remarkable new television continues – unexpectedly – with Nat Geo's 6 part miniseries "Mars." The series, which also runs on FX, tells the story of our first manned mission to Mars in 2033.
The fact that the series sidesteps the usual hokeyness of the future sci-fi genre is already impressive, but what really breaks new ground is the WAY these filmmakers did it. Blending fact with fiction is never an easy trick. FORREST GUMP pulled it off (mixing archival footage with live action) and there have been others less successful. But MARS blends present day NASA & Space-X documentary footage with live action sequences so seamless and convincingly – it's almost like a new form of television.
One minute we are watching Elon Musk lay out the mission and risk factors of his Mars mission (circa 2016) and the next we are watching those risks realized with terrifying consequence, seventeen years later. And it works!
Created by documentary filmmakers Ben Young Mason & Justin Wilkes, with what looks like considerable help from Hollywood uber producers Ron Howard & Brian Grazer (Imagine Entertainment) the series achieves a level of credibility and high emotional stakes that the purely fictional worlds of "The Martian" or "Apollo 13" could never manage.
How you ask? By freely intercutting the two timelines (2016) and (2033), we get very real, very recognizable people from the NASA community building the emotional stakes for the fictional crew. I know. Doesn't sound like it should work, but it does. There's a real life sequence between astronaut Michael Kelly (the first man to spend a year in orbit) connecting with his teenage daughter via Skype. And the kid is amazing. The footage is 100% authentic. 100% loaded with emotion and longing and loss. It sets the stage perfectly for the fictional Hanna and Joon Seung, twin sisters of the 2033 mission – one of whom leaves almost certainly to die. Or so it seems.
Thus far, only two of the six episodes have been made available, but if they are able to sustain this mix of old and new, authentic and fictional filmmaking – it will be a real first. And a testament to the ongoing adventure, not just of man chasing stars, but of storytellers chasing a whole new road of exploration.
Especially to cable television, which has enjoyed its finest years ever, beginning by my count, when HBO debuted The Sopranos, and rolled out the welcome mat for writers who were sick of being second-guessed by network executives and focus groups.
In the years since that auspicious pilot, I count an ever more promising pool of talent, producing series of compelling drama and profoundly complex characters. Among my personal favorites have been BREAKING BAD, MAD MEN, THE KILLING, RAY DONOVAN, MR. ROBOT, HOMELAND, MASTERS OF SEX, TRUE DETECTIVE (season one) and PENNY DREADFUL. What these series share is an unbelievably nuanced view of humanity. And a clear conviction that producers need no longer dumb-down their characters and story lines to find an audience. Complexity is celebrated. The ambiguity of the human heart is at last getting full reign to run where it will – into some pretty dark realms it turns out – but this is what happens when creativity has been so long suppressed. It flees into the underworld, that true realm of our psyche, from which monsters emerge. Dark, glorious, surprising monsters of the id. The Walter Whites and Don Drapers; the Vanessa Ives and Mr. Robots of the world, let loose upon the landscape of television.
Truthfully, the world of motion pictures looks pale and reed-thin by comparison. Week after week, the Friday openings offers little more than a sad rehash of overdeveloped franchises. It seems only the kids' movies dare to launch a new character. If it isn't a Marvel or DC Comics hero, they're not interested. Whole genres have fallen out of production, adult dramas (except for the one month pre-Oscar qualifiers); suspense, thrillers, even romantic comedies are few and far between. As if date-night were a quaint idea of the past.
As lamentable as these trends may be, they are easy to understand if you look at the economics. P&A costs for a major release now adds such a burden for a picture to perform on opening weekend, that only international blockbusters can hope to win their frame. To combat international piracy, we have moved to day-and-date releases across large parts of the global market – a challenge for all but the biggest drawing super heroes. Horror seems to be the only other genre with enough box office grip to justify its cost of production. But let's face it, the real reason that so few movie genres have survived is job security.
Studio executives are scared to death of green lighting a flop. A $200 million flop is career ending decision. So you do everything in your power, selecting from a smaller and smaller pool of guaranteed franchises, to pick your bet. Nobody will ever get fired for green lighting another X-Men. And that's the long and short of things. Decisions being made by executives in fear for their jobs.
Sadly, anything truly original entails risk. And any business model that demands returns on opening weekend – is no longer in a position to take on these risks. And so, the exodus continues. OUT of motion picture into television. We go where we can work. We go where we can do our BEST work.
And I have gone from looking forward to the latest round of Friday releases, to marveling when one of them actually slips through the barbed wire, and puts something great on screen. Sadly, this isn't often. Which makes the triumph all the greater when it happens.

Atlanta Dwelling Remodeling & Renovation
Normandy Design Manager Troy Pavelka, LEED Green Affiliate, discusses some widespread environmentally pleasant decisions Chicago space householders are including of their reworking projects. With Bolster, you get the most effective architect and normal contractor on your home renovation project and collectively use a collection of budget & project administration instruments while following a time and price-efficient process to successfully full your mission.
These certifications deliver industry professionals, like therapists, contractors and product makers to place ideas together" to make houses secure and accessible, Mr. Listou said. Our architects and common contractors charge their common market charges to homeowners and pay Bolster a hit fee from every challenge. Cost playing cards typically come with very excessive interest rates, that means you pay an exorbitant premium just to do the renovation. This collateral allows the lender to supply the mortgage at a decrease rate of interest, normally prime plus or minus a percentage. You haven't met the maximum grant by way of previous purposes to the PEI House Renovation Packages. Often, you could have the choice to pay your closing costs or have us pay them (not obtainable for financing over $500,000). By saving up the money, you're more likely to keep on price range because you might have extra time to research prices and plan the challenge.
There's a lot of great examples of our Home Renovation work on the initiatives page of our website, but we wished to share with you one in all our favorite building projects. Yet, the home exhibits on TV can depart us with the impression that renovations will be completed either quickly or cheaply or each. In the event you'll be utilizing a design pro or remodeling contractor, focus on your venture with them to get a rough thought of costs. Rural non-proprietor occupied duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are eligible below the acquisition renovation or refinance renovation option solely. It is the one renovation undertaking within the report that returned greater than it value. Your own home mortgage guide will aid you discover a mortgage choice that works for you.
That is as a result of a hasty, under-budgeted renovation can actually devalue your own home and add little or no value to your own home's honest market worth. Greenwich Time – Not one of the five Board of Selectmen hopefuls supports the privatization of The Nathaniel Witherell nursing home, saying the town should retain ownership and management over the facility if it pays for a major renovation.
They got to talking about exactly what they wanted for his or her daughter and settled on a small three bedroom, three because of the planned quantity of youngsters (for whose rooms they opted for a off-the-shelf bunk beds from Bunk Beds Eire , as a substitute of a custom answer which may have considerably elevated the prices) and small because despite the fact that it was a corner home space for the home extension was nonetheless limited.

The Christmas Gift.....
The interviewee was a 91-year old woman named Helen who was recalling when, as a 14-year old during the Depression, she and her family barely had enough to eat. This story was far too common during the Great Depression which started in the U.S.A., spread throughout the world, and lasted about a 10 years.
In the Depression, there were no economic safety nets - no food stamps, no unemployment insurance and no Social Security. Hard working employees and farmers saw their income, if they could keep their job, reduced to a pittance. Many people went hungry, lost their homes, and gave their children over to orphanages so that at least their children could have food and shelter.
Helen's own family regularly ran out of food, cut cardboard for the holes in their shoes and did without warm clothing in their town of Canton, Ohio. One day close to Christmas, Helen read an ad in the neighbor's borrowed hometown newspaper.
Someone named "B. Virdot" was offering to help needy families
in time for Christmas. This benefactor asked only that letters be written explaining their plight. Helen was the youngest person to do so. Her letter was chosen!
When Helen received the largess of $5.00, she bought clothes for her siblings, Christmas dinner for her family and new shoes for herself. What a Christmas!
It would be 77 years later when Helen found out who her benefactor was and then only because the identity of "B. Virdot" was discovered by Ted Gup, the donor's grandson.
Gup was going through his deceased grandfather's old suitcase when he came upon letters written to "B. Virdot." There were also 150 cashed checks. Then, Gup found the yellowed newspaper ad and realized that it was his grandfather, Sam Stone, who used the amalgam of his own daughters' names to create "B. Viradot." (Barbara, Virgina and Dorothy)
Sam Stone, an orthodox Jewish immigrant who had come to this country, learned English and worked his way up from menial and harsh physical jobs to owning his own chain of shops, had given 150 Christian families a Christmas gift.
May your holiday blessings be shared with a sense of compassion and gratitude.

WWE Monday Night Raw Live From Portland, Oregon
Monday, October 16th, 2017
Commentators: Michael Cole, Booker T, and Corey Graves
If you missed last week's Smackdown Live, click here WWE Smackdown Live 10/10/17 Full Results (Why Sami, Why?)
In-Ring Promo: Kurt Angle
Kurt confirms that The Shield are back, and ready for this Sunday at TLC. The Shield, complete with music, and they enter from the seats, which is awesome, and they surround the ring with Kurt. Kurt asks Portland if they want to hear from The Shield, and they all say yes. Reigns says that was a good choice, because when you get in the ring with The Hounds of Justice, you either get out of their yard, or you get your ass kicked. Rollins says it is great to be back together. They debuted in this ring 5 years ago at TLC, and they dominated. Every night when they are together, they dominated. Then one night, it went away. But he is proud to be in the ring with his brothers, because The Shield are back, and better together. Ambrose tells us he loves ladders, tables, and chairs. But the steel is not the reason why The Miz, The Bar, and Strowman should be scared, because the line has been drawn and The Shield are ready for war. And nobody throw down like The Shield. So maybe Ambrose got ahead of himself last week when he said they would fight 4, 5, or even 6 men. But if he had a chance to do it again, he would say it again. He dares the four men to come out and they throw down again. Here they come, but Kurt tells them this will not happen tonight. The Bar want their Tag Titles tonight? If they fight it won't happen. If Strowman wants Reigns inside a steel cage, that match won't happen if they fight now, this will be a historic Raw. It's true, it's damn true.
Tonight: Tag Team Title Match
Tonight: Strowman Vs Reigns inside a steel cage.
Tonight: Miz TV with Braun Strowman
In-Ring Concert: Elias, with Gallows and Anderson
So I guess Gallows and Anderson are groupies. Who wants to walk with Elias? Crowd boos, but he has two Good Brothers along with him. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Gallows and Anderson are warming up their voices. They have a song about Jason Jordan. I guess Jason is a nerd.
Match Number 1: Jason Jordan, Titus O' Neil, and Apollo Crews Vs Elias and The Good Brothers
In somewhat of a shocking move, Apollo Crews picks up the win here, with his Sit Down Powerbomb, pinning Anderson. I can't remember the last time Apollo won on TV, so good for him.
Winners: Apollo Crews, Titus O' Neil, and Jason Jordan, by pinfall
This Sunday: Asuka
Backstage Interview: Emma
Renee Young is with Emma, she is sick of hearing about Asuka. She started the Woman's Revolution. She is a Social Media queen, what has Asuka done here? Alexa Bliss talks about Asuka has done nothing. Emma single-handedly started The Woman's Revolution, thank you for that. She puts the women up, unlike Mickie James, who body shamed her last week. They need to stick together, how about Emma teaming up with Alexa Bliss.
Video: 205 Live Cedric Alexander Vs THE Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher
Match Number 2: Cedric Alexander Vs Jack Gallagher
Kendrick came out with Gallagher, but Rich Swann came out for Cedric. Swann took out Kendrick, who tried to help Alexander, with Cedric hitting Lumbar Check, and pins Gallagher for the win. These 4 square off at TLC.
Winner: Cedric Alexander, by pinfall
Next: Miz TV with Braun Strowman
In-Ring Promo: Miz TV with Braun Strowman
Welcome to the must-see segment of WWE, welcome to Miz TV. His friends came out earlier, and Kurt Angle prevented them from giving the fans what they wanted, Angle didn't want them to shatter The Shield tonight. But who is to say they wouldn't have done that? If it happened like that, The Bar would not have won back their Raw Tag Team Championships tonight. Cesaro tell them they don't just set the bar, they are The Bar. Sheamus said at TLC they will shatter The Shield in three pieces. The fans get into "The Hawk" and Sheamus tells us to respect "The Hawk", but they will break Dean Ambrose's back when he takes him out with a chair. Or when Cesaro spatters Rollins' leg with a ladder, or when they break Reigns' spirit with a table. As good as The Shield are, they don't compare to the real family of The Miztourage, and Miz would do anything to watch their backs, including the 4th member of their team, Braun Strowman.
Braun tells Miz he would have shattered The Shield tonight. Last week, they came together and Triple Powerbombed him through a table, because none of them could do it alone. So tonight, he breaks The Shield piece by piece, until The Shield is gone forever. That starts tonight inside a steel cage with Roman Reigns, he will make sure they lock the door, so Roman can't run from him. Miz asks us if they really think they can take care of them? Ambrose is still sipping the kool-aid, because he says they can beat 4, or 5. Well Dean, that looks to be the case, because The Shield will face 5 members. Himself, Braun, The Bar, and his 5th member….Kurt Angle interrupts, he never agreed to this idea, and he won't listen to it like last week. Miz talks about The Shield can be heroes, if they win this match. Kurt tells him to shut up, and this is what is going to happen. If The Miz wants a 5th member, then he can have it, if Strowman beats Reigns tonight in the steel cage match. But if Reigns wins, this will go back to a 3-on-3 match, and Strowman is out. Deal? Braun speaks and accepts it. Kurt also says everyone is banned from ringside in the 2 main events.
Tonight: Finn Balor's Demonic Message To Sister Abigail
Match Number 3: Sasha Banks Vs Alicia Fox
Alicia claimed last week she tapped out to Bank Statement because she was scratching her nose. Not tonight, Alicia tapped out again, and she still doesn't have a T-shirt.
Winner: Sasha Banks, by submission
Next: Enzo Amore
Backstage Interview: Sasha Banks
Charly tries to get a word from Sasha, but Alicia attacked Sasha from behind. She even shoves the ref, and officials check on them.
In-Ring Promo: Enzo Amore
You know who he is, and he is the realest guy in the room, how ya doin'? He's doin' alright, but he heard a few boos out here. So we wonder where is his "Boo"? His Cruiserweight Title. We see video footage from last week. Let's just be real for one moment, he got nuked, duked, screwed, and robbed from his Cruiserweight Championship, and that is a fact. He got duped into putting his Cruiserweight Title from a corrupt GM, and he had a poor Mustafa Ali screwing him the title, and here comes Kalisto. Kalisto tells Enzo he can blame him, he can blame Kurt Angle, he can blame the entire 205 Live roster, he can even blame the fans. But Enzo there will be no excuses when he remains the Cruiserweight Title. Enzo tells Kalisto he has money stacked higher than Kalisto, and most of it is not dirty money. But does Kalisto see the end of the tunnel? As in the Zo Train? Some of 205 Live come in, and jump Kalisto. Mustafa Ali comes to help his buddy. He takes out Gulak, Durr, Daivari, and Nese, but Enzo takes him out. This could be a Survivor Series team next month. Enzo nails Eat Defeat on Kalisto, this Sunday, Kalisto Vs Enzo for The Cruiserweight Title.
Next: Tag Team Title Match
Match Number 4: Rollins and Ambrose (Raw Tag Champs) Vs The Bar for the Raw Tag Team Championship
These four guys tell a great story here, and tonight was no different. Ambrose and Rollins retain their titles when Rollins gives Cesaro a kick, and then Dirty Deeds. The champs keep the belts.
Winners, and STILL Raw Tag Champs: Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, by pinfall
Tonight: Reigns Vs Strowman in a Steel Cage
Next: Finn Balor Gives a Denomic Message To Sister Abigail
Backstage Segment: Team Miz
Curtis is trying to rally the troops, they still have this Sunday. And he can be a part of that team, with the fifth member. Braun tells him he must find Roman Reigns, Curtis is not afraid, he will do it now.
Next: Finn Balor
In-Ring Promo: Finn Balor
This is Balor Club right here in Portland. When Bray Wyatt first introduced the world to Sister Abigail, he didn't know what to think. Has he lost his mind? Or did he have all of us fooled? He thought Bray had lost his mind, but he was wrong. As a kid, Finn read about monsters, and thought they were just stories, but after seeing Sister Abigail last week, that is real. Bray has his tricks, but Finn has tricks too. He will slay a monster, from a demon of his own. His demon has no fear, his demon dreams about nightmares. And his demon is dying to meet Sister Abigail. We get to see glimpses of "The Demon", and he tells Sister Abigail to run.
Match Number 5: Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Champ) and Emma Vs Mickie James and Bayley
Mickie picks up the win after Alexa had her back to Mickie, and nails a Mick kick. This Sunday, James Vs Bliss at TLC for the Women's Title.
Winners: Mickie James and Alexa Bliss, by pinfall
Backstage Segment: Curtis Axel
Curtis found Roman, with The Shield. This doesn't look good.
Backstage Segment: The Miz, The Bar, and Braun
The Miz is rallying the troops, when Braun beats Roman tonight, the 5 of them will dominate The Shield. But there isn't Axel there. Miz asks where he is at, and Braun stated that he said he can beat down Roman, and Braun told him to do it.
Backstage Interview: Mickie James
Charly catches up with Mickie after talking with Bayley. She asks Mickie if this is about winning the Women's Title or what Alexa had called her? Mickie admits the words hurt her, but she is proud of who she is, she has a little 3-year-old at home. It was the greatest moment for her, but one of the greatest moments is for Mickie to bring home the Women's Title to her little boy Donovan. And she will kick that little biscuit butt all over the arena, and become a 7-time Women's Champion.
TLC Kick-Off Match: Sasha Banks Vs Alicia Fox
Backstage Segment: The Miz and Curtis Axel
The Miz finds Curtis, he is hung upside down. The plan did not work.
Backstage Interview: The Miz
Renee wants a few words with The Miz. Can he find a replacement for Curtis Axel? Miz said the world knew that Curtis was never the fifth man.
Match Number 6: Roman Reigns Vs Braun Strowman inside a steel cage
The Miz joined us in commentary, The Bar ran down, as did Ambrose and Rollins, despite what Kurt had said everyone being banned at ringside. Miz locked everyone out of the building. The match was continuing, and we hear Kane's music, who came out from underneath the ring. He attacks Reigns, gives him 2 Chokeslams. Braun lays Reigns out with 2 Powerslams, a Tombstone Piledriver by Kane, and another Powerslam, for Braun to win this match. The Miz makes it official, Kane is the 5th man, as we end the show.
Winner: Braun Strowman, by pinfall
Kevin's Thoughts:
This was a good show, and Raw set up their PPV much better than Smackdown Live had done a few weeks ago. I loved seeing the official Shield entrance tonight, and am looking forward to their TLC match this Sunday. Asuka also will debut, and I am guessing it will be 2 or 3 minute squash. Mickie Vs Alexa can be underrated too, we will se how things will build from here after Sunday. Share me your thoughts on the show.

European Union Citizen Identity
Evaluate whether a European Union "citizen" identity can be produced through "social constructivism"?
This essay tries to find an answer to the question, which is set out above: "Whether a European Union citizen identity can be produced through social constructivism." At the beginning we outline what the social constructivism is and then we move to the central problem of this essay – how could be such a goal accomplished, if it even is possible. Then we look into some evidence of how contemporary attempts of producing some sense of "EU citizenship" or "europeanism" are working out. And in the end from arguments and evidence I will try to make a conclusion, in which will be the question answered.
Social constructivism is a theory, which holds that identity is not static, but rather in a continuous process of redefinition. Identity is from her nature fluid and we can find this aspect of identity on a personal level in the same way, in which it is present on a national level. We can choose who we are, at least to some extent. This proposition about identity is central to the theory of social constructivism. In the opposition against the social constructivism theory is the theory of essentialism, which considers identity static. It sees identity as an essence inherently existing in objects and therefore it cannot be changed.[1] A man's identity is determined by his nationality, ethnicity, race, sex etc. For the essentialists is not identity a matter of choice. But this essay will come from the constructivist assumptions, as it will try to assess the feasibility of producing a European Union "citizen" identity through this theory.
Given the dynamic nature of identity, we can assume that some supranational identity like the EU citizen identity could be created. But from what would be this identity derived? Or if we borrow the term essence – what would be the essence of identity of a man, who is born in the EU as its citizen? What would it mean? "Citizenship includes engagement in public and political affairs and the acceptance of particular norms and values, as well as particular duties."[2] The only way to answer the question of the citizenship meaning is by appealing to the "core values" of the EU, because common norms and values are the main things, which enable a citizenship identity to be created. The core values of the EU consist mainly of shared set of ideas and values, which are based on liberal democracy and have its common roots in the Enlightenment. In the age of Enlightenment were developed ideas about freedom, rule of law, pluralist democracy and human rights, which were derived from the concept of natural rights, which was also introduced. In the same period a member of the Scottish Enlightenment Adam Smith founded the Classical school of economics, which had at least inspired all latter economic thought. The Europe have very valuable legacy passed down from the Enlightenment and it seems that the basic concepts are common to all countries in the EU. Every country that is becoming a member of this organization must subscribe itself to hold and keep these core values. So it seems that there are sound common basis on which we can build some sense of universal Europeanism. We can also say that the essence of Europeanism comprises the common values and ideas set out above.
But is it enough to create a citizenship identity? Just one part of the definition has been fulfilled yet – the part about common values and norms, but what about engagement in public and political affairs? There is a critical requirement for the EU citizens to engage in public affairs. There has to be a common ground for it. The field on which the vital decisions of the EU come into existence are somewhere behind closed doors, where the people have no chance to influence anything. It is quite commonly called a democratic deficit. The only chance of engaging the EU public space is to attend the European election. But the European parliament is largely seen as a useless institution, because its MEPs don't have the right of initiative. They are maybe the only members of parliament across Europe, who cannot put forward any legislation. For this purpose there is the European Commission, which has no accountability a no legitimate political mandate. Of course they don't even call themselves politicians, they are just bureaucrats. The turnout at the European elections is becoming smaller and smaller. In the year of 1979 there was nearly 62 % attendance, 56,67 % in 1994, 49,15 % in 1999, 45,47 % in 2004 and 43 % in 2009.[3] It will be interesting to see the turnout next year. If the institutional framework stays in this configuration, we cannot expect any changes in the engagement in the EU public affairs.
But let us say that the institutional framework moves in the direction to solve the democratic deficit somehow. If there was a purpose in the European election and people felt that their vote, can really influence and change things, there would be a chance for larger identification with the EU and its citizenship. It could be also a good chance for more charismatic leaders to take charge. For example if the European Commission became a political institution and its members had political mandate and accountability, they would also possibly gain some credibility at last. The European Commission always was an engine of the integration. It has its ideology of integration, which would not disappear even if its members were to be selected through proper elections. Such politicians would have the power to influence people with their ideas and create what is in social constructivism called "ideational socialization", which could in the end be enough to create real EU citizenship. Of course it would also take enhanced cultural and social policies, which would appeal to people as they would match their interests and benefit them.
The EU leaders can take an example from the phenomenal success of the Erasmus mobility program for students and introduce some mobility program for workers. A lot of money is wasted for example in the Common Agricultural Policy, which benefits no one and doesn't help to create any sense of Europeanism at all.
Are there any arguments that would oppose the view set out above, how the EU citizen identity could be created and would not come from the side of essentialists? Of course, there are some and one very strong. The especially strong argument is called nationalism. Nationalism does not contradict the social constructivism theory that identity is fluid, but it fights against the creation of a supranational identity. There is no such thing as European nationalism. Maybe we could find some very rare examples – every one of them located in Brussels. Nationalism is connected to the Westphalian idea of sovereignty and a nation state. The EU is a post-nationalist, post-westphalian and post-democratic institution.[4] But in many states are still very strong tendencies towards nationalism and of course also many people who didn't give up on democratic institutions with accountability (Which the EU, especially the EC is not). Another danger from nationalism lies in the fact that it is becoming stronger in a crisis situation and now we are in the middle of very serious economic crisis to which there seems to be no end. As the nationalism is surging the EU institutions in the contrary are losing confidence.[5] People don't trust the EU institutions as they are not able to fight the crisis and are doing bad and late decisions.
If we take the assumptions of social constructivism and ask if it is possible to produce the EU citizenship through this theory, it seems pretty feasible. But we cannot answer easily – yes it is – we have to ask further: What conditions and requirements must be met for this to be possible? We can say that the first condition, which is some common basis of ideas, is met. It could be also argued otherwise, but there are some at least basic ideas, core values, which we can say originated in Europe and are common to all countries in the EU. The second defining feature of a citizenship, which is the engagement in public matters, is in my opinion not met yet. The problem is in the architecture of the EU institutions. There is no accountability of the EC and elections to European Parliament cannot change anything. If the change is what people want, they still have to do it through national election. As long as the European elections will be this useless, there will be no real engagement of people in public and political matters on the level of the EU and therefore the production of the EU citizen identity will not be possible.
Even if the architecture of institutional framework changed, there will still be a strong factor opposing the EU citizen identity. It is the nationalism, which is on a surge in countries, which are dealing with the economic crisis. As the economy is in a bad shape, there is only a very limited space for dreams like the production of the EU citizenship identity. There is still an unremovable feeling in the air that it is a desire of only few people and the ordinary people fighting with so different problems couldn't care less.

'Architecture at the Edge' festival symposium to generate creative discourse about public spaces
A keynote event on the first day of the inaugural Architecture at the Edge festival will provide an opportunity for architects, planners, designers, creatives and local communities to talk about the shape of our built environment. The half day symposium entitled 'Placemaking' will be held on Friday 29th September at the O'Donoghue Centre NUI, Galway. What makes a great place to live? Who is involved in the making of places in which we live, work and play? How can we make more of our public places? These are just some of the questions to be explored at the symposium.

OK, it went to another very popular Marvel Comic flick but the message was loud and clear, especially throughout the second half of the film. An excellent role for the roller-coaster known as Downey Jr. (whom Disney repeatedly did not want in the role), who really seemed to enjoy and excel playing the troubled genius ill-fated billionaire.
Did it follow exactly as the 60's story did, no, but damn it was still a good story. Combining elements of yesterday and today.. just as the Batman series (part deux) has been able to do. Let's hope the sequels will follow suit where the X-Men films and Spidey's have faltered and failed.
Comic book epic for sure… bring the popcorn and no bathroom breaks.

Elastomeric Deck North Bay
Elastomeric Deck in North Bay
One of the very finest home improvements you can make is to add on outdoor space. Patios and decks extend your living space and inspire you to pass some time out of doors. A property with a deck is in higher demand when you decide to sell your property. You have instantly increased your property price when you add one. It can be on the front of your house, adding curb appeal or at the rear for privacy. Some families decide to make their outdoor living space freestanding like an individual island in the back yard.
Secondly, when it's time to amuse, this is your space. If you have furnished your area with comfy seating, and a superb grill, along with a mini cooler or an ice bath, you can entertain more guests with fewer hassles. Make partying outside a straightforward pleasure. Cleanup is simpler and folks relax and have a great time when they're outside. If it has easy access to the kitchen a deck is a perfect place for summer entertaining. You can combine food and fun with much less hassle. Move without effort between where you have supplies and where your visitors are. You can see them and socialise while doing preparation work. Depending on your local climate you will look forward to using it almost year around. Carry your indoor decorating and vacation themes to this more protected outside space.

A brand new deck installation in North Bay is an artistic work as much as a functional surface. Properly built and matched to the space, a new living space is formed in your backyard which will add a strong appeal to your home for any future buyers.
Elastomeric Deck in North Bay – Select Experience!
A backyard deck in North Bay can be a family hotspot, an escape from work and a bonding experience. Sitting together on the back deck enjoying the spring weather and cooking out for friends make a simple deck an indispensible piece of social networking. It takes out of the equation many supposed house rules which make people doubtful of the correct way to behave. No question of if we sit on the furniture or have to take our shoes off. Having a deck means that a person and his chums have a place to go to be men and not need to fret about lager stains or coffee table coasters. The deck is an easier set of social rules that makes the host the centre of a great time and not the dictator of the manor.
A pretty square of grass is simply a start for a yard. Without a deck a yard is inviting without an offer of welcome. Installing a deck claims to anyone who enters the back yard this is a special place that we worth and here a great spot to sit as we worth your presence. A place on which to sit, access to outside conveniences like shade, cozy hearths, outside cooking, and perhaps even access to that out of doors pool complete with privacy fencing.

When it comes to expanding the presence and exposure of your brand, you can hardly do better than to reach out to the online influencers relevant to your industry. There are many voices out there though, and it is important that you learn to navigate this sea of online influence in order to maximise the impact of your strategy. Here are the key steps:
What Are Your Objectives?
Although this may seem like common sense, it bears repeating; you must think about what you are hoping to achieve and set a concrete objective. What is your desired result? Brand positioning? Increased brand exposure? Without a solid objective established, you have no true way of understanding why you are targeting these influencers and no measurement of success.
Criteria Of Targeting – What Is Your Brand Message?
Before outreaching to potential influencers, you must first identify what the message or voice of your brand is. The ocean of conversation out there is very deep and in order to navigate it strategically and effectively, you must match influencers to your brand. They must reflect and convey the same message.
Criteria Of Targeting – Relevancy Over "Big Fish"
Instead of focusing your efforts towards attaining a single big catch (i.e. an influencer with a substantial following), you must prioritise according to relevance. As marketers, we have traditionally equated noise with success, but this isn't necessarily true. A much greater impact may be achieved by outreaching to a number of smaller, highly targeted voices. Because these voices are more specialised and relevant to your particular sector, their combined impact can be much more powerful, thus increasing the potential of return.
There are positive knock on effects from using this tactic. Influencers who are relevant to your sector are much more likely to be receptive to your approach and show genuine interest.
How To Find These Influencers
There are various tools of the trade that can help with finding and researching influencers. One such tool (and commonly used by 4Ps) is Brandwatch. This social media monitoring tool is a great way to find people talking about your industry. Another useful technique is to look at communities of people online, particularly Google+. Google+ Communities are a recent introduction and as such, I would argue that the people using these communities are tech savvy individuals, with some already boasting a substantial digital footprint. In finding a community relevant to your sector, you are essentially finding conversational activity, thus influencers of high relevance. Similarly, Twitter is also a great way to find and engage with influencers.
How To Approach Influencers
How you approach influencers will, of course, depend on your strategy and objectives. But invariably, the route I like to take is honesty. Nine times out of ten, people know what you want and it's sometimes better to just cut to the chase. If you've taken the time to identify the people who reflect your target audience, then they should be obliging.
To summarise, the process behind outreach is simplistic, yet important. From the top down, objectives should be set, then you need to identify the message of your brand and ensure your targeted influencers reflect it. Next comes relevancy, a word I regularly use. At the risk of sounding repetitive, you must always ask whether a given influencer is relevant. For every potential influencer you identify, ask yourself these questions: Do they sit within your industry? Does their target audience reflect your brand?' If the answer to either of these questions is no, discard that influencer, no matter how many followers or fans they have.
4Ps isn't just another SEO agency. To discuss how content and PR are evolving together in order to keep pace with new developments in user engagement and search behaviour, give us a call on +44 (0)207 607 5650 for a no-obligation coffee and chat about data, marketing and customer acquisition across all inbound channels. Where could a 4Ps content marketing strategy take your brand?

I hope you all had a great time during the holidays. I sure did enjoy myself with all the food and gift giving. Due to the weather I couldn't really take any proper pictures to show you what I got, but what I can do is show you all the owl stuff my mom gave me.
Of course my wishlist included some Ga'Hoole goodies and I am happy to report those wishes have been granted.
Sadly the boxed set of books turned out to be unavailable, but I am really thrilled with this movie tie-in too, it is very cute and doesn't take up as much room. I can't wait to start reading.
She also got me the DS game and I have to say it is amazing! I really love the graphics and the music too(some games have really annoying and distracting tunes, but this one is great). Ok, I haven't played it that much yet, but it's already save to say I love it. I was a hooked from the start and even saved some owlettes last night in bed.
Only downside is I seem to have some sort of bug in the menu, I click the link I want yet it often leads me somewhere else entirely. Anyone else has that problem?
But that is not all! I've always wanted some owl jewelry from danitashop, but they always seemed to sell out before I got the chance. However not too long ago I spotted these awesome earrings, my mom noticed and said I could order them for Christmas. I'm very excited and can't wait for them to arrive.
Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures of the rest soon. But this was it for the owls.
I'd love to hear what you got. And how you spent and enjoyed your Christmas. What did you get?

Home to one of the world's favourite wines, the authentic Italian village of Greve in Chianti resides in the heart of a picturesque sprawl of pastureland. A colourful past establishes itself in the many magnificent monuments and architectural jewels that decorate the atmospheric Old Quarter and rich traditions are still nurtures with customary occurrences such as the weekly market. Conversation crackles from within the shady squares, where locals sip rich red wine and gaze at the verdant surroundings. Greve in Chianti is a town to truly immerse you in the rich cultural customs of the area while also enjoying some of the region's finest food and wine.
The town's principal Piazza Matteotti is a cultural centre home to some of Greve's most notable buildings. The Renaissance splendour of the richly decorated City Hall shines over the square, while the magnificent statue of Giovanni de Verrazzano echoes an intriguing cultural inheritance.
With its neo-classical façade and beautifully baroque spire, the Santa Croce Chruch is a fine example of religious architecture. Inside, ecclesiastical masterpieces are presented, all of which date back as early as the 2nd century.
Nearby to Greve's glorious church is the magnificent Museum of Sacred Art, an inspiring artistic collection housed in a former hospital. Feature in the collection are splendid terracotta sculptures, an elaborate altar and colourful works from prominent religious artists of the 12th century.
Enjoy the culinary heights of traditional Tuscan cuisine at the remarkable Restaurant Bottega del Moro. Dine al fresco upon the cobbled terrace upon which diners can sip robust Chianti wine and watch locals go about life at a gentle pace. Traditional Tuscan dishes are refined and reworked by expert chefs, resulting in sublime signature dishes such as wine braised beef and tender, herb infused chicken breast. (Piazza Trieste 14, 50022 Greve, Chianti, Italy)
