Benvenuti in Italia, welcome to Italy! Your Tour Leader will meet you at NH Concordia Hotel in Milan, here you'll meet your travel mates too. Let's have a coffee together, just to know each other!
From Milan, we will head north for Lake Como, one of Italy's most popular lakes and also its deepest. Shaped like an inverted Y, giving it a long perimeter, it is surrounded by mountains and hills and dotted with beautiful and resort villages. The magnificent scenery of Lake Como (also known as Lake Lario) has enchanted artists and travellers for centuries: from French novelist Flaubert to musicians of the calibre of Gioacchino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, and Vincenzo Bellini; it was here that he composed his opera Norma. Today Lake Como continues to attract members of the international jet-set and celebrities that appreciate the evocative beauty of the Lake and its surroundings.
Villa Melzi in Bellagio
Driving along the lake road we will enjoy multiple, fascinating views: suggestive borgoes, splendid villas and lush gardens await visitors in search of a little charm and relaxation, or a little culture and contact with nature.
Breathtaking villas, one after the other, encircle the lake, a resort destination of the nobles of Lombardy since the 16th Century. Cernobbio is the site of the Villa d'Este (1600s), location in Alfred Hitchcock's celebrated film "The Pleasure Garden"; and the celebrated Villa Erba, one of the most important Italian lake villas from the 1800s - today it is an internationally-known convention and expository complex. In the nearby Comunes of Moltrasio and Lenno, Passalacqua and Villa Balbianello (used in films such as "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Casino Royale") are important touristic attractions.
Along the coast is Tremezzo, famous for its Villa Carlotta, with terrace gardens and a museum boasting works by Canova, Thorvaldsen, and Hayez. It was built in the 17th century for a powerful Milanese family and in the 2nd half of the 19th century Princess Marianne of Nassau bought the villa and gave it to her daughter Carlotta as a wedding present, hence the name. Her husband was a keen botanist and over the years turned it into the lush garden that we see here today.
Later on, we will reach Bellagio, where we will relax and enjoy the lakeside ambience.
In the early morning we will head for our next destination, Lake Maggiore.
It has the magnificent vintage air of old-fashioned vacations, but it never goes out of style. Lake Maggiore is the second largest in Italy in size (the biggest is Lake Garda) but the largest—and that's why it's called Maggiore—of the lakes closest to the Alps. Geographically, it straddles two Italian regions, Lombardy and Piedmont, and a small part juts into Switzerland's Canton Ticino. But the main thing is that since the 19th century it has been one of the top vacation and weekend destinations for wealthy families from big cities, who built some of Northern Italy's most stunning villas on its shores. The secret to Lake Maggiore's success is its position just under Mount Rosa, a varied landscape, easy accessibility from both Milan and Piedmont, and a climate that allows very distinctive vegetation to thrive. In spring, the blossoming of azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, lemons and magnolias rightfully attract plant lovers.
The Fountain on Isola Bella
The jewels of the lake are the Borromean Islands: anyone who has seen a postcard of Lake Maggiore is bound to be familiar with their outline. The archipelago is one of the biggest attractions for travellers and Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori have plenty of charm. The archipelago is named after the Borromeo family, which acquired the islands in the 14th century and still owns two of them. The noble palaces on the islands, with their rooms filled with antique furniture, paintings and priceless porcelain, and the enchanting gardens are open to visitors and are a must on your list of things to see. From Laveno we will explore them on the boat, before getting to elegant Stresa.
We will then drive south to our next destination, a particularly savoury one: Parma.
Parma is known for its delicious food products. First, you will visit a Parmigiano Reggiano factory, where you will see cheese masters at work: a very special way to get into the production culture of the area and to discover how a true gastronomic gem is made. A real "tasty" experience! (see our BLOG at https://www.vitoritalytours.com/blog/item/5-my-private-italy-parmigiano-reggiano-please-don%E2%80%99t-call-me-parmesan.html).
Later on, time for a visit to a Parma ham factory, where you will learn the secrets of the most delicious ham, Prosciutto di Parma. And finally, we will savour authentic Italian cuisine on a fun-filled cooking class led by a local "rezdora". Immerse yourself into the tradition of fresh Italian pasta and study the secrets of preparing pasta dough from the scratch, using just flour and eggs. You will make your own "tortelli d'erbetta" (Parma most traditional pasta with a filling of ricotta cheese and chards) and delicious tagliatelle with tomato sauce – all local ingredients! Once our amazing meal is ready, we will enjoy what we prepared matched with a glass of local Lambrusco wine. A very tasty experience at the end of an unforgettable day!
Parma, Prosciutto di Parma
Modena is a very beautiful city, and derives its name for the famous people - Enzo Ferrari and Luciano Pavarotti - who were born and lived here, as well as for some of its gastronomical products. Modena lies in the so-called "Motor Valley": actually the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini and Maserati are located here.
In Maranello, we will visit Museo Ferrari, not just a collection of the past, but an extraordinary experience of the world of Ferrari and sports car racing! How exciting to see live the most beautiful cars of the world, exceptional artworks made by modern mechanic artisan masters.
Afterwards, we will move to the estate of a Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Producer, to delight in the unique, enticing taste of traditional balsamic vinegar. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is obtained from partially fermented, cooked and concentrated grape must. The grapes come exclusively from the vines of the area, and the most important processing phase is refinement, inside containers of fine wood, such as oak, chestnut, oak, mulberry and juniper. The minimum period of ageing is 60 days; at the end of refinement, the product obtained is subjected to an analytical and organoleptic examination, entrusted to a group of expert technicians and tasters: this is the step to be taken to ensure that the product can be certified as Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
Gilles Villeneuve's Formula 1 Ferrari at Museo Ferrari in Maranello
Here we are in Florence, the land of Dante and Michelangelo!
Despite its international fame and greatness, Florence is also a small city, whose history is interwoven with that of its passionate citizens for more than one thousand years
In Piazza Duomo you will be astonished by the Duomo, with the incredible Brunelleschi's cupola, a masterpiece of art and architecture whose building techniques building are still covered with a veil of mystery. Beside it, Giotto's Campanile (Belltower) and the Baptistery, one of the oldest buildings in the city, with its famous bronze doors made by Pisano and Ghiberti in the 14th and 15th centuries. In Piazza della Signoria you will walk in the middle of bronze and marble masterpieces by Giambologna and Cellini inside the marvellous Loggia dei Lanzi, and will admire the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, one of the symbols of Florence and still the seat of government of the city. You may also spare some time to relax, visiting a typical market for shopping, strolling through the pedestrian streets of the city and crossing the oldest bridge in Florence, "Ponte Vecchio" (Old Bridge), rich of jewellery shops.
For a full understanding of the Renaissance period and the incredible competition which took place among the best artists in the period, we will engage in the "Michelangelo's Experience": our partner Giovanni, an Authorised Tourist Guide and Art Historian specialized in Michelangelo, will help you enter Michelangelo's' world thanks to a deeper exploration of his works and the places where he lived. We will meet Michelangelo in person in front of his tomb in the Basilica di Santa Croce, an unforgettable moment!
Florence is also the main Italian centre for the production of high-quality leather goods. The Florentine artisans are so famous that many fashion brands have opened their factories in the city or close to it, due to the high skill of the artisans involved and to the continuous inspiration that designers take from the town's masterpieces. The area around Piazza Santa Croce is full of leather shops and workshops.
Thanks to the tradition of Tuscan tanneries, there is no better place to find shoes for all tastes than Florence: from the creations, designed and produced by hand by skilled craftsmen, to the large collections available in stores, renewed every season. Above all, for refinement and elegance, Ferragamo (also worth seeing the museum), Gucci and Prada. If you prefer a simpler style, across the river Arno there are many shops specialized in handmade shoes and sandals.
At dinner you will taste the typical Tuscan cuisine at a home-style local restaurant in Florence, enjoying simple yet unforgettable recipes of the Tuscan tradition (see our BLOG at https://www.vitoritalytours.com/blog/item/8-in-tuscany,-eat-like-a-tuscan.html).
Florence: Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi's Dome and Giotto's Bell Tower
Today we will explore the hilly area of Chianti, home of the world-famous wine!
Only a few regions can offer such a beautiful and rich panorama as Chianti: green hills sketched by miles and miles of vineyards and olive groves, ancient walled villages, panoramic curvy roads. Chianti Classico spreads from Florence to Siena and includes the municipalities of Greve, Panzano, Radda, Gaiole and Castellina. Most of the route consists of the grid of roads connecting the larger towns to villages and castles, like the one leading to Radda, former headquarters of the Chianti Military League, and then to Castello di Brolio where Bettino Ricasoli devised the "recipe" for Chianti wine.
In the afternoon, we will stroll with our head upwards along the streets of one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany, San Gimignano, also known as the "Medieval Manhattan", thanks to its very old and impressive 14 towers that dominate the town skyline. Originally the towers were 72, built by patrician families probably to demonstrate their wealth and power. Seven of San Gimignano's towers are around Piazza del Duomo, the tallest one is Torre Grossa, 54 meters high, dating back to 1298.
San Gimignano, the Towers
Leaving San Gimignano, today we will first head for Monteriggioni, the famous Senese fortress which guarded the boundary between the Senese Republic and the Florentine "Signoria". A step back in the medieval times that will impress you. All around are Chianti vineyards and pasturelands, it's amazing! The village can only evoke the Middle Ages with its 13th-century walls and 14 quadrilateral towers. Towers that Dante compared to the Giants of hell, in the time when this fortified site was an outpost of the Senese against the Florentines, passing several times from one to the other.
The fortified village of Monteriggioni
We will then move to Siena, city of the Palio, where you will walk on the famous Piazza del Campo, the concave square where horses run twice a year in a dangerous race that symbolizes the city's freedom (see article in our BLOG at https://www.vitoritalytours.com/blog/item/4-my-private-italy-dreaming-twice-a-year-in-siena.html).
But, maybe, the thing that you are going to remember better is the colour of frontages and roofs, the renowned colour "Sienna", a pigment first produced during the Renaissance, that makes the city lovely and warm. And don't forget to taste the Senese sweets: "cantucci" (biscuits with toasted almonds), "ricciarelli" (soft biscuits with icing sugar), "panforte" (cake with fruit nuts and spices) and "cavallucci" (biscuits with honey, walnut, candied fruits and spices. Travellers who love dessert will be delighted!
Siena, Piazza del Campo on the day of the Palio
On the way to Val d'Orcia, we will take a diversion to one of the most fascinating spots of Tuscany. Here we are in Chiusdino, to see the famous Abbey of San Galgano. What a stunning place!
The Abbey of San Galgano dates back to 1218 and was considerably wealthy until the 14th century, so much as to be disputed between the Papacy and the Republic of Siena. Unfortunately, a great decline followed so much splendour: local people used it as a warehouse of building materials, even selling the roof of lead to make ammunition and transforming it into what we see today. It is really impressive for those who see it for the first time, for the isolation in which it is located as well as for the absence of the roof. In fact, finding yourself inside a church and having the sky as a cover is not common and when the evening comes, the stars offer a wonderful show. But why did the Cistercis Monks decided to build such an imposing complex in that secluded valley crossed by the river Merse? The answer is simple. Very close to it a church, the hermitage of Montesiepi, whose first nucleus is due to the same saint (and his direct followers), already existed. In its Chapel, also called "Rotonda" because of the circular shape of the central structure, an old iron sword is encased in stone, a clear reference to the legend of Excalibur, the mythic sword of King Arthur!
From Chiusdino we will then drive to Val d'Orcia, one of the most fascinating places in Italy, included by UNESCO in the list of World Heritage Sites. The landscape of Val d'Orcia is part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, redrawn and developed when it was integrated into the territory of the city-state in the 14th and 15th centuries to reflect an idealized model of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing picture. The landscape's distinctive aesthetics, flat chalk plains out of which rise almost conical hills with fortified settlements on top, inspired many artists. Their images have come to exemplify the beauty of well-managed Renaissance agricultural landscapes.
Our first stop will be Pienza, "Pio's town": here the Pope Pius II decided to build the perfect palazzo for his papal court according to the project of an "Ideal City" drawn up by artists such as Piero della Francesca. From the loggia of the Palace you will enjoy a breath-taking panorama of the landscape all around! And for lunch don't forget to try the typical Pecorino cheese of Pienza, a real delight to the palate!
Then, we will get to Montepulciano, for a history and gourmet food tour of the city with our Guide Francesca, at the discovery of this land's delicacies: Nobile di Montepulciano wine and local olive oil.
We will finally stop in Bagno Vignoni, a tiny and charming village where the main square is a pool 49 meters long and 29 wide, from the bottom of which bubble up a number of hot springs whose therapeutic quality has been renowned since antiquity! All this creates such a pleasant sensation, it will be hard to leave!
Bagno Vignoni in Val d'Orcia
Our first step today will be Tuoro on Lake Trasimeno; this small town is built on the site which in 217 B.C. witnessed one of the most disastrous battles of Roman times when more than 16,000 Roman soldiers were killed by Hannibal's army! Here you will understand how the Roman Armies fought and conquered most of the ancient Western World.
We will then proceed to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, the nobleman who renounced all his possessions in order to devote his life to helping the needy.
The splendid Basilica, one of the emblems of Christianity, located on Mount Subasio and overlooking the entire valley, is dedicated to him. Apart from being a strong appeal for millions of religious believers, the Basilica is a monument of great artistic value. The construction of the Basilica began two years after his death, in 1228, and between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century the basilica's walls were frescoed by the best artists of that time: Giotto, Cimabue, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti. St. Francis's Basilica consists of two churches laid upon each other and a crypt containing the tomb of the Saint. The Lower Basilica, with a double front portal, presents a simple facade embellished with a rose window and a mosaic. The interior is decorated with frescoes by some of the most important painters from 1200 to 1300, from Cimabue to Giotto and from the Lorenzettis to Simone Martini.
In the Upper Basilica, it is possible to see the life cycle of St. Francis in frescoes painted by maestro Giotto, and the stories of the Old and New Testament covering the entire nave, and other wonderful frescoes by Cimabue and Torriti.
Another figure who has deeply influenced these places is Saint Clare, to whom the homonymous Basilica - presenting a facade made of white and pink stone and divided into three sections by horizontal cornices - is dedicated. The engaging interior frescoes and the remains of the Saint are visible through a window in the crypt.
Assisi: St. Francis' Basilica
Try to enjoy the mystical atmosphere of Assisi:
"Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth,
Who feeds us and rules us,
And produces various fruits with coloured flowers and herbs."
(St. Francis, Prayer of the Canticle of the Creatures)
Today we will explore the area between Assisi and Spoleto, the heart of Italy.
First, we will head for Spello, a charming medieval town on the top of a hill, far from tourists' destination.
We will end our daily tour in Spoleto, a medieval hill town in the Umbria region, famous for its summer music festival, "Festival dei Due Mondi". Thick walls and a magnificent gorge surround the city and fine medieval and Roman monuments sit along the streets. The Duomo is one of Spoleto's finest sights: begun in the 12th century, the cathedral is set against a backdrop of hills and valleys. High above the town stand the Rocca, a Papal fortress which was used as a prison until the 1980s. A massive bridge, Ponte delle Torri, built in the 14th century, functioned as both a bridge and aqueduct; we can walk on it for breath-taking views of the valley and gorge below.
Ceramics in Deruta
Tonight for dinner we'll enjoy "salumi di cinghiale o cervo" (boar or deer sausage) and pecorino cheese, and taste the region's prized white truffle oil while sipping the red Rubesco Riserva or Sagrantino di Montefalco.
From Spoleto today we will reach Orvieto, one of the most beautiful hill towns in Italy, perched up on volcanic rock, its history dating back to the Etruscans.
Although just an hour from Rome, the architecture is different, with many of the buildings constructed out of tufo, a type of volcanic rock. Orvieto's main attraction is its 14th-century Cathedral – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with a glistening façade of stained glass, mosaics and sculptures. Another attraction is St. Patrick's Well, a 62-meter-deep (203 feet) feat of engineering characterized by two spiral staircases that wind around the well (yet never meet), with 248 steps down to the water. A pleasant guided tour along a very easy route makes it possible to get to know Orvieto's underground world, created by its ancient inhabitants over about 2,500 years of uninterrupted digging. A tour on a discovery of a millenary, surprising and unexpected "Underground City", which you will surely enjoy!
At lunch don't' miss "salumi di cinghiale o cervo" (boar or deer sausage) and pecorino cheese and taste the region's prized white truffle oil, together with the delicious white wine of the area, Orvieto Classico!
Orvieto, a town "on the rocks"
Alternatively, you may stop in Civita di Bagnoregio, the spectacular "borgo" slowly sliding towards the valley, is also known as the "Dying City". The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley. It is in constant danger of destruction as the edges of the plateau collapse due to erosion, leaving the buildings to crumble as their underlying support falls away.
Civita di Bagnoregio, the "Dying City"
Today you will discover one of Italy's hidden gems! Here is Tivoli, a small town in Lazio, about 30 Km east of Rome. The first major sight is Hadrian's Villa: Emperor Hadrian built it to escape the crowd and turmoil of the capital. Much of the enormous, luxurious ancient villa remains intact today, and you will be surprised by the clever application of Renaissance plumbing in the fountains and waterworks, perfectly integrated with the landscape. There are about 500 fountains here!
The other masterpiece in the area is Villa d'Este, the great Villa commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito of the Este family around 1560. Among the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance that most inspired landscape architects and painters, it is an ideal reinterpretation - in a sumptuous way - of the hanging Eden of Babylon. The prestigious residence is surrounded by terraces, stairways and avenues set on each other, decorated with water games so audacious as to reveal considerable engineering skills. The monument was elected the most beautiful park in Europe, as well as UNESCO Heritage with the motivation: "one of the first gardens of wonders, which from the beginning had a decisive influence on the development of European landscape painting ».
Villa d'Este in Tivoli
The tour is over, but the memories of a fantastic journey will accompany you for a lifetime!
Arrivederci for another tour with VITOR, Visit Italy on the Road.

Farrah Abraham's Mom Convinced Sex Tape Not Real or Her Faultby Free Britney at . Updated at .
Farrah Abraham's mom Debra may need a little reality check, because she's convinced her daughter's sex tape (really a porn video) is not a real thing.
Despite the fact that her daughter had a boob job, made out with girls at clubs, and got arrested for DUI, having sex on tape is one thing she'd NEVER do.
Except the Farrah Abraham sex tape IS real, and it's actually her second!
She co-stars with James Deen in the tape currently shopped around because a deal to sell her original sex tape - starring Farrah and her ex - fell through.
Nevertheless, Debra Danielsen is not convinced her daughter shot a porn tape, BUT IF SHE DID it's not her fault, she tells celebrity news site TMZ.
"My daughter has never expressed interest in things like that. She was not brought up that way," says Deb, clearly in denial. "We have religious beliefs."
So she's never expressed interest in boning on film in talks with her mom, therefore it could never happen. Sound logic right there, no doubt about it.
As for who the Teen Mom star's mom thinks IS responsible, you know, if there actually is a sex video, she's blaming "the people behind the tape."
Pretty sure James Deen was behind ONE thing, if you know what we mean! We mean that the man can be seen having sex with Farrah from behind.
Among other angles. Tape is allegedly 30 minutes long! Guy's got skills.

Remember my DIY Tree Flock tutorial from last year where I used shaving cream and glue to make some "snow" for one of my extra crappy artificial trees? I'm here to let you know the deets of how the tree flock has held up after one year of storage. You'll be completely surprised because I certainly was.
The DIY tree flock has held up wonderfully! So much so that I didn't need to whip up another batch to cover bare spots this year. That's a win in my book, but I do have some tips for those of you wondering how to store your flocked artificial tree, reassembly, and flakage (totally made that word up).
1. Store your tree in its original box if possible and in a temperature controlled room. No garages or attics. I'm pretty sure the summer heat will completely mess with your tree flock. I can't be sure, but I do know that I stored mine in a hall closet and it looks great.
2. There will be flakage during breakdown and reassembly. A lot. This is almost a complete opposite from last year's minimal flakage experience. Look at the images above. See the flakes on the floor from when I was putting up ornaments? Have a vacuum or broom handy. Wear something white if you do photos while you put up your ornaments. You don't want to look like you're in an ad for dandruff shampoo.
3. Lightly spray mist your tree (without lights) with water to tame the flakes. This will rehydrate the flock and keep a lot of flaking at bay.
4. Add more flock if you want. I didn't because it actually held up really well this last year. Win!
I've been getting a lot of questions about whether you can use the DIY Tree Flock recipe on a tree with lights and on real trees. I can't be 100% sure about the lights since I didn't use any, but I don't see a problem if you use LED lights. Some readers have told me that they used lights without a problem. Just make sure the flock is dry before turning the lights on. And real trees? Why the heck not?! Thankfully you won't have to worry about storing it for next year. I know there are rules regarding trash pick up of real trees and flock. Might want to check your county rules regarding Christmas tree removal.
Do you prefer an au natural tree or a flocked tree? I'm 100% a flocked tree kind of girl.

Women's Fire Side™ II Sherpa Full Zip Fleece is rated out of 5 by 85.
Rated 5 out of 5 by paazireh from This is my fourth... I love this so much I currently own four in different colors. I am about 5'9" and the small still fits me length wise both torso and arms. Recommend hang drying for longevity but I have been tumble drying one of my oldest and it seems to withstand the machine just fine as well. Only starting to show SLIGHT signs of wear after near daily use after 6 months.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ddmom2 from wonderful light weight jacket I purchased this jacket last year in the chalk color and had to purchase another this year in blue because I love it so much! Perfect jacket for summer evenings, light weight but keeps you warm. I purchased a small even though I usually wear medium. The small is a little bit snug but the medium was too big.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lizz1994 from Long sleeves If you see the model wearing peach cloud you can see the sleeves are way to long especially for plus size women i ordered the peach cloud not realizing it due to looking at the other models. I regret buying this cause now i gotta roll the sleeves and that makes it kinda ugly . I wanna return this so bad . Its just awful . Im 5'2 weight 165.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AJZD from I bought a 2nd one! My daughter received this in Nov 2018 and has worn it religiously through all 4 season since then. It's perfect for wearing daily in her "frigid" high school AC and in the winter because she doesn't use a locker for a heavy coat. It's perfect as her housecoat, perfect for walking in the spring and fall and for generally being cozy. After 15 months of almost daily wear, the zipper and pull are still running smoothly and the body of the coat looks good. Since the cuffs are starting to fray, I purchased a 2nd one for her.

Rated 1 out of 5 by NormalNeck from Giraffe Neck I really wanted to like this jacket. It is my 2nd and last thing I am ever going to buy from Columbia. The neck is too long. Their fit model must be a giraffe. I have a regular length neck - no other brand does this to me. Both jackets I have when zipped up outside in the cold hit under my chin in the most annoying way. I have to zip it back down and then I'm cold. Defeats the purpose really.... outer wear has to be made just right otherwise what's the point. Needs to be functional not annoying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jbuhag from Love it- fits true to size I ordered this in the pretty mint green color and I love it! Based on the reviews I ordered up a size, but I don't think I needed to! I am 5'8", 140-145 lbs, athletic, 32D chest and usually wear a small top (or size 4) I ordered a Medium in this fleece and have plenty of room! I am keeping it because I don't mind the baggy comfort of something like this, but the size would make it difficult to layer underneath a coat. If I was set on layering with it more, I would've exchanged for the small. The arm length was a concern for me and in the medium the arms are perfect at the base of my palm, cant speak for how that would change if I ordered the small. I haven't yet tried to wash this, but the soft fabric is lovely and feels good around the neck. I wore it out on 39-degree day in VA and it kept me cozy with a long-sleeve underneath. I hope this helps!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Riss08 from Love it, except.. I debated ordering the Fireside II Sherpa for awhile. I did end up ordering to use when snowboarding and snowmobiling under my winter jacket. I absolutely love it, and got a dark teal color. The only thing is, I wish I had ordered a large. I'm 5'8 and normally sleeve length is an issue, but it wasn't. The sleeves are long enough, woo hoo! However, it is kind of short and a bit snug when zipped. If I want to wear it zipped then I can only wear a tank top under it, I can't layer. Because of this, I ordered another color but in a large instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Noel87 from Love this jacket This jacket is warm and comfortable, it has been perfect for the recent weather. The coldest day I wore it was about 12 degrees F, but I literally only have to walk about 10 feet from my car to the office. I wouldn't recommend this for long periods in low temps. In my opinion, Columbia runs small - my shirt size is Large and most of my coats are an XL. This one I had to size up to a 1x so that it fit without being too tight, I can zip it up without feeling like I have to suck it in, and wear it over hoodies (and still have enough room to breathe). I bought the black cherry and it is a gorgeous color - like a medium plum. I do wish it had a hood, but it's not a deal breaker. If it helps I am 5'6", 180 lbs., and 38D.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sarajobe from So cute, sizing off I have LOT of Columbia's regular fleece zip ups and this definitely has odd sizing. The medium is smaller than the regular fleece, but the large is bigger than the normal medium. I got a large since I'd rather it be a little big than too small. Other than sizing I LOVE the colors and style.

Fits a bit loose, but only as it should since it's outerwear. It's not form fitting so great as a top layer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Topsy from Soft, rich fleece This fleece has an upscale feel, with a faux leather zipper pull & logo tag, and luxuriously soft, glossy, rich fleece. Black plum color is gorgeous. Zippered pockets, yes! Typical Columbia sizing (a little generous) with space to layer a thick long sleeve shirt or sweater underneath. The small (my typical Columbia size) was perfect for 5'4", 130 lbs, 34" chest. (I run small to medium depending on brand.) If you are accustomed to more fitted, athletic-cut brands, size down or expect a generous fit.

Dear Swimmers
Many of you will no doubt have heard of the passing of English entertainer Cilla Black at the weekend at the age of 72. This was very sad news of course. I personally met Cilla in 2001 as you will see in the video clip below - she even pinched my bum in my Speedo skin suit!! (that's my claim to fame anyway!).
So in honour of a great lady, here's when I met Cilla in front of a live TV audience that then went out as a Christmas Special in 2001 to a viewing audience of 20 million (their biggest ratings!). Yes, I have no shame!
Have a great week and see you down on the pool deck soon. It's wonderful now the weather seems to be turning!!

Singapore — A landmark ruling by an international arbitration court against China's claims over a major part of South China Sea is likely to escalate diplomatic tensions between Beijing and other regional claimants such as the Philippines and Vietnam over the waterway.

The Hague Tribunal's ruling last week that China had violated the sovereign rights of the Philippines by interfering in oil and gas exploration activity in the latter's exclusive economic zone is expected to keep energy, commodities and freight markets in Asia on the edge, mainly because of Beijing's stubborn reaction that the verdict was unacceptable.
Vietnam claims sovereignty over both the Spratly and Paracel Islands and defends its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf as set in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS.
While Vietnam currently controls part of the islands in the Spratlys along with China and the Philippines, the country lost control of the Paracel to China after a clash in 1974.
A third of global crude oil and more than 50% of the world's LNG trade pass through the South China Sea, making it one of the most crucial transit routes in the world.
While market participants do not see any immediate impact on trade flows, they are expected to keep a close eye on geopolitical developments.
The following are some key factors that make the South China Sea a crucial link for commodity flows in the Asia-Pacific region.
Article Continues below...
The South China Sea is believed to hold vast amounts of undiscovered oil and gas reserves.
Chinese state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp. has estimated that the entire South China Sea holds undiscovered resources to the tune of 125 billion barrels of oil and 500 Tcf of natural gas.
But the US Geological Survey has estimated that about 12 billion barrels of oil and 160 Tcf of natural gas might exist as undiscovered resources in the South China Sea, excluding the Gulf of Thailand and other adjacent areas. About one-fifth of these resources may be found in contested areas, particularly in the Reed Bank at the northeast end of the Spratly Islands.
Disputes between China and the Philippines over oil and gas resources are mainly in the Reed Bank, which is about 80 km (50 miles) offshore the Philippine island of Palawan and is believed to contain vast amounts of natural gas reserves.
The Paracel Island area may also contain significant natural gas hydrate resources.
While test drills have been promising, commercial development of natural gas hydrates in the South China Sea is many years away because of technological challenges, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
A significant amount of crude oil passing through the Strait of Malacca goes to terminals in Singapore and Malaysia. But after processing, this crude oil is shipped out again to Asian markets through the South China Sea as refined petroleum products, such as motor gasoline and jet fuel, according to the EIA.
The rest of the crude oil passes through the South China Sea to China and Japan, the two largest energy consumers in Asia.
The Strait of Malacca, located between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, links the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
EIA says crude oil flows in the South China Sea also comes from intra-regional trade, particularly from Malaysian, Indonesian, and Australian crude oil exports.
Intra-regional trade is distributed evenly among Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China, with smaller amounts going to other Southeast Asian countries.
The South China Sea is a major transit route for LNG. According to latest numbers on the EIA website, about 6 Tcf equivalent of LNG, or more than half of global LNG trade, passed through the South China Sea in 2011.
Half of this amount continued on to Japan, with the rest of it going to South Korea, China, Taiwan, and other regional countries. Almost 75% of all LNG exports to the region came from Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia.
With growing demand for natural gas in East Asia, the South China Sea's share of global LNG trade will likely increase in the coming years, according to the EIA.
Even large quantities of coal from Australia and Indonesia, the world's two largest coal exporters, pass through the South China Sea to markets around the world, especially to China, Japan, and India.
These coal shipments include both steam coal used for generating electricity and process heat as well as metallurgical coal that is a key ingredient in primary steel production, EIA said.
From Indonesia, plentiful volumes of coal from the East Kalimantan region move to China via the South China Sea. In addition, a lot of iron ore shipments from Brazil and South Africa use the South China Sea route for transit to key destinations such as China.
The South China Sea is the second-most used sea lane in the world. In terms of world annual merchant fleet tonnage, over 50% passes through the Strait of Malacca, the Sunda Strait, and the Lombok Strait, with the bulk of that continuing on to the South China Sea.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Review of Maritime Transport 2011 estimated 8.4 billion mt of total world maritime trade through the South China Sea in 2010.
Almost 117,000 vessels with a total deadweight of 4.7 billion mt passed through the Strait of Malacca in 2004.
Out of 607,000 global ocean going vessel movements, or 15% of the world's total, 32% were container vessels, 25% were tanker vessels, 15% were cargo vessels, and 15% were bulk carriers, with the remainder LNG and other ships, EIA says. More recent data was not available.
South China Sea is a transit point for much of the grain cargoes -- such as wheat, corn and barley -- from the Black Sea region and Australia flowing to China, Japan and South Korea.
Thailand's seaborne sugar exports to China and North Asia also transit through the South China Sea, as do palm oil cargoes from Malaysia and Indonesia to key Asian consumers, such as China. Also South China Sea comes into play for cargo flows of ethanol from the US heading for China and then heading southwards to the Philippines.

This scarf was well worth the money.
This scarf was well worth the money. It is lightweight enough for warmer weather, but I think will also cozy up nicely with a sweater in the fall. This scarf hits the mark.

Hello everybody and welcome to Drakulus.com, today I will be reviewing a game that we were waiting for since 2012:
Max Payne 3
When I am reviewing a game I like to break down the cons and the pros so you can understand my rating of the game, but first I want to talk about my opinion of the game.
When Max Payne 3 was first announced I said okay that's cool and then it hit me that this is Max Payne we're talking about and not some game that comes out every year. Max Payne 3 is Rockstar's first game to ever have the most realistic shooting I've ever played in a game, by that I mean when you shoot a guy in the throat he drops his gun and tries to hold the spot you shot him in but he dies in about 2 seconds. It also allows bullets to exit the back of enemies. This is a feature I think all shooters should be using considering we're going into next generation graphics and consoles. Max Payne 3 has a good story and takes the average gamer a day to beat (that is if you do other things besides playing the game), but for me I can beat this game on old school in a half a day. The cool part of this game is that Rockstar stuck to their roots unlike GTA San Andreas and GTA IV, this game still feels like a Max Payne game plus new graphics. I also enjoyed the fact that you're wearing something different every level you pass instead of wearing that overcoat through the whole game (we all love the overcoat, I'm not going to lie). The only reason Rockstar fans were okay with them releasing a game that wasn't open world was that Rockstar announced GTA V at that time and we knew that Max Payne 3 would only keep us busy. Seriously though they release Max Payne 3 and now GTA 5.
So let's start breaking this game down. The game features a wide variety of main characters to watch their story throughout the game, the bad part is that it's up to Max Payne to decide how to tell their stories. If you think that this game holds on to stars like they do in movies then you're dead wrong, my friend. People die on every level by your hand, why should your friends in the game be any different. In this game you won't be able to choose whether or not to kill a man because it's all scripted, even though this game feels as if you should be able to make minor decisions. We all know that bullet-time will always be in Max Payne games, this time around it's more fluid and easier to control. Bullet-time can be used is a number of ways. It can be used by diving forwards, backwards, right, and left while shooting at enemies. It can be used by almost dying even though this feature Is called "Last Man Standing Mode" where if a target takes away your last bit of health time slows up and you have to find who shot you. The camera kind of moves you to the guy but not all the way and, when you do find him, the dot on your screen will light up red instead of its normal white standby. You also cannot use Last Man Standing in old school mode.
Golden guns has made a return in Max Payne 3 as collectibles but don't worry, once you find all the parts to a gun you can turn on this feature and, whatever golden guns you have fully collected, you can now use them by collecting the guns you found every part to. Clues are also featured in this game but Rockstar has made these mini games you participate in worth it because if you find every clue in the game you can now choose what level in story mode you want to play and choose your character. The bad part is that you can only be different Max Payne's (you get to play as the classic Max Payne).
Guns are not customizable in this game but you are able to find a large variety of guns throughout story mode, but explosive weapons like RPG'S, Grenades and Molotov Cocktails are not available to you but to other enemies they are. Don't worry about these explosives because Max always seems to be able to shoot Molotov Cocktails, Grenades and Rockets straight from an RPG right out of the sky. Enemies in this game miss shots taken at you unlike Payday 2, but the shots aren't automatically missed it's almost like you're shooting at real people. The whole game is very fluid and makes you feel like the movement is up to you and how you choose to play through a level.
This game released a good amount of DLC but this wasn't really DLC, it was more like Expansion packs. Rockstar only releases expansion packs for the game and add-on content for your multiplayer character. The multiplayer is more than fair and whether or not you like it, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you why it doesn't matter, no, actually I'll prove it to you. I want you to turn on Max Payne 1 or 2 and after you watch the intro to the menu of the game I want you to scroll down to multiplayer and tell me which multiplayer is better, Max Payne 3 or Max Payne 2 or 1? See, my point is that this game was never meant for multiplayer and we should be happy for whatever they give us, although a co-op mode would have been nice.
Multiplayer is fun and it gives you many options that should entertain you for quite a while. You can customize your character in too many ways– yes, I said "too many" because this game's multiplayer has so much customization that you could spend an hour and a half just choosing from everything, I should know because I still regret it. My favorite part about multiplayer is that it plays exactly like story mode would but with customization. You can level up and unlock new upgrades and weapons. When I play multiplayer I only really play team death match and this game has a great variety of modes. There are also two other modes called Score Attack and New York Minute which are just bonuses to this already cool game.
There is one more thing I want to discuss. In story mode, you can use these semi-cheats, so when you complete task like find all clues, completing story mode on hardcore and old school mode, find all golden guns, completing in a new York minute, getting all gold or platinum medals on every score attack level, you get cool things like new character skins, one hit kills, infinite bullet-time, infinite painkillers but in my opinion I don't think someone should need unlimited health if you can slow up time all together.
So this game has:
- Fluid gameplay movement.
- Great A.I. that feels like you're actually killing people.
- Realistic Gameplay with blood spatter.
- A good amount of replay ability but not too much.
- Spot on bullet time controls with better diving and rolling.
- Arcade Mode that includes Score Attack and New York Minute.
- A good storyline with people-like characters.
- Multiplayer with a variety of multiplayer modes to choose from.
If you noticed I didn't say much about the downside of this game because there isn't much I hate about it. The only things I didn't like was how multiplayer mode is a little hard but since I'm awesome at games that's not really a problem. One real problem I had was that the story was only good, acceptable for a game that has so much. Maybe if the story was based around Max instead of the Branco Family. And Max was more ruthless. I give this game an 8/10, I swear that the only reason this game didn't get a 9/10 was that the story does not interest me at all.
Okay that's it thanks for reading.

Glow In The Dark Tangles
On Following "The Rules"…
Happy Labor Day, everyone! I hope you are all enjoying this extra day to rest. I wanted to share something near and dear to my heart, the reasons why I love Zentangle® so much and credit it with my creative awakening. I've included here some wonderful words by CZT Sandy Hunter on the "rules" that separate Zentangle® from other forms of art such as doodling or line weaving. Here is a link to the post, I hope you take a moment to check out her site, it's chock full of goodies!

New Skillshare Class! And a FREE one!!
I have a new Skillshare class available! Zentangle® 102 covers what we usually do in my physical classes, during the second tile. For a limited time, I've made my Zentangle® 101 class FREE! So please go check it out and give it a thumbs up, if you like it 🙂
Even if you've taken my classes before, this is a great opportunity to brush up on what you learned. I'll also be putting more and more videos up, my goal is 2-4 per month! I'll focus on Zentangle and mandalas, but if there is something you're interested in, let me know by emailing me or contacting me on any one of my social media platforms 🙂
If you've never tried Skillshare, I highly recommend it. For less than $100 a year you can learn anything from marketing to watercolor. I absolutely love it and try to tell anyone I meet who loves learning! Here is a link to check it out, and you can also access the Zentangle 101 and 102 classes there!
I've also been working on some fun mandalas the past two weeks. I've been inspired by dreamcatchers and have been experimenting with different ways to create dreamcatcher mandalas!
I've been exploring ways to do the same thing over and over again, but still produce different results. In my next post I'll write a bit about my experience with "tangles stuck in my head." Think of how you get a song stuck in your head, but instead it's a set of pretty visual patterns! Until next time!

Summertime Livin'
Summertime and the livin's…. crazzzzyyyy
I know I have been super quiet these past couple of months, I totally didn't mean to! I had a few amazing classes in Portland, OR and we created some fun art! I had such a blast teaching at Vine Gogh and Urban Crush, I love meeting new people and hopefully inspiring a few to take on their creative sides!
About two months ago my husband asked me if I was comfortable and had enough space to create art and build my classes. We'd been travelling and living in a motorhome for over a year and while it was SO much fun and an amazing learning experience, we were both starting to feel a little cramped…though, neither one of us wanted to admit it. My art supplies alone took up about 50% of storage in the RV, and I had more in our storage unit! I also had a difficult time creating pieces that took more than a couple of hours, as I would have to clean up each day…which in itself isn't that big of a deal, but when you have to wait for paint to dry in order to, say, cook dinner, and can get a little frustrating. So, I admitted to my husband that, no, I didn't have the space I needed, but I was willing to deal with it, don't worry about lil ol' me! We didn't/couldn't/wouldn't afford the rent or mortgage for a place in the Portland area without both going back to our corporate worlds, which…. just… NO. I didn't want to do that, I couldn't do it again.
So we started thinking about places we'd been during our travels that we enjoyed and might have a lower cost of living. I did NOT want to leave the Portland area, but I also knew it was time to make a change. One city kept popping up in our discussions, that we kept coming back to, and that we always talked about as being our favorite place when we travelled. My husband was also pretty well connected with a community of his own there, so it would be a bit easier for him to integrate. As for me, any city was going to take a little work to get my Zentangle teaching and connection with the creative community established again, so I was open to the possiblities. We made the plan to sell the motorhome and get ready to move by the fall.
Then, I found a job that fit my needs perfectly, and they needed me to start within a month! Fast forward through the scrambling to pack the RV and storage unit, say our "see ya laters," find housing, and all the other moving accoutrements…..
And, here we are. We've moved, the motorhome is on consignment in Portland, and we're settling in.
In Madison, Wisconsin!
Hopefully soon I can bring you more YouTube videos, SkillShare classes, and Zentangle tips and support! I have been working on organizing my creative space, and it was a little more slow going than I thought it would be (mainly because I am picky! Lol).
If you had asked me 6 months ago if I would be living in an apartment again in a strange city, I would have laughed! But, so far, it seems like this was a perfect idea. Hopefully in the next couple years we'll get a house with some property where I can hold Zentangle-related retreats! How does tangling and cheese curds sound to you?!
So, again, apologies for the radio silence over here! I hope to be more noisy moving forward, including continuing my Principles of Zentangle series!
Principles of Zentangle® Series, Part 2: Unknown Outcomes
It's hard to narrow down which one of the principles of Zentangle® are my favorite. Each time I sit down to write about or mention one of these principles I find myself exclaiming, "This is my favorite! I love this one!"
Really, each one serves its purpose in our Zentangle practice. And each principle supports another and relies on the others. Our deliberate focus on each stroke of the pen leads to unknown outcomes, and unknown outcomes lead to abstract characteristics (another principle I'll cover soon). This scaffolding of principles and ideas in the Zentangle method and theory are what make it so unique. I think Rick and Maria knew this as they were learning and outlining the method!
But, this is also the hardest one to teach in my classes, since we are all completing the same tangles together it's hard to explain that we do not have a predestined outcome, even though I've already picked a set of tangles and a string to use. In a normal, private setting we would sit down to complete a piece of Zentangle art, without any previous ideas in mind. Luckily, the mosaic shows us that we can accomplish different outcomes using the same strokes!
The idea of unknown outcomes takes the stress or concern away that often comes with making decisions in our art. Which figure to draw? What perspective? What medium? No, instead we sit down with our pen and paper and let the pen make the decisions. Maybe we want to try out a certain tangle, but even with some preconceived ideas in our mind, the process of the Zentangle method often takes us places we hadn't planned on going! The method is kind of like a map and "Choose Your Own Adventure" activity combined, only executed in tangles and strings.
If you feel you're not quite ready to take the plunge into tangling on your own, or allowing the pen to lead the way, I have an idea for you! Take a list of your favorite tangles (and include some new-to-you ones!), maybe 10-20, and assign a number to them. Then you can grab one die, or several dice (affiliate link*), or even a Dice Rolling app (for Android), and roll a number. Whichever number is shown is the tangle you'll complete? Same number rolled sequentially? Do that tangle again and play with the scale or auras or embellishments.
The string is also a way that we attain those unknown outcomes. The crazier and more abstract the string, the more possible outcomes! Try to let yourself go when you're creating your string, adding swooshes and slashes. Remember, you don't have to use the whole string, you can combine sections of the string, or leave entire sections blank. The string helps to break up that blank piece of paper, to put some initial marks down. You are not required to abide by the string! Push the limits, tangle outside the lines. It's OK, it's totally allowed 🙂
When I first started tangling, I tried for awhile to create preconceived ideas. To make something that represented something else. To be inspirational and outwardly creative. Quickly I became discouraged, intimidated. I find this is true among a lot of new tanglers, so if that's you, it's totally normal. But, get back to the basics and don't worry so much about what you are going to create when you tangle, just tangle!
So, don't fret. Remember, there are no planned outcomes in Zentangle, no mistakes. If there is something keeping you from tangling on your own, the best thing you can do is to… DO IT! You're totally capable of it.
If you're still not sure where to begin or how, message me on any of the social media platforms I use. I will respond and I am happy to help! If you've taken one of my classes before, remember you can join my Facebook group! Send me an email and I'll send you an invite if I haven't already. I'm here to help if you need it 🙂

Challenges and Focus
It's been a nuts-o week here at Zen & Zin. Lots of things in the works (more news to come on that in the next few weeks). My Zentangle® practice has kept me sane and mostly centered as I weave my way through everything.
I even squeezed in another Scallamp tile 😀
The Diva's Weekly Challenge this week was a focus/study on the pattern Molygon…a pattern I adore and use A LOT, especially in pieces bigger than the traditional Zentangle tiles. I appreciated having this challenge this week since I was making SO many decisions in my business and personal life, having the decisions made for what to focus on in my Zentangle practice made life a lot easier. And, as you can see, I had a lot of fun!
I tangled these molygons in my Shizen Design Faux Leather Journal. The paper is a lovely smooth black and the faux leather is creamy. It's easy to tangle in since the cover is so flexible. I then used my Prismacolor Colored Pencils (*affiliate link) to make them glow! I love that Prismacolors show up so deliciously on black paper!
I have also been playing with the 14 Shades of Grey method (available for purchase again after May 15th). The CZT that came up with this method did so by exploring the boundaries of what can be done with traditional Zentangle materials. I LOOOOOVE the effect it gives, and I totally have a new appreciation for graphite!
So, if you're experiencing a similar time in your life when too many decisions make your creative time a little more dubious…find a weekly challenge like The Diva's or even the Square One Facebook Group. Take that challenge and do it over and over and over. You'll gain the benefits of having that time for yourself, renewing your energy and focus, but taking the work of decision-making off your own shoulders!
Leave a comment below, let me know, what's your go-to Zentangle pattern or other creative outlet?

New Students, New Inspiration!
I love introducing new people to Zentangle®….I love even more when they didn't even know about Zentangle before they showed up to class!
No pre-conceived notions about how they won't be able to do it, just fresh curiousity about something they know hardly anything about. And, there's an amazing thing that happens in every class, with almost every student– the comfort in knowing, discovering, recogniizing they've encountered these patterns before. I love seeing that recognition in students' faces.
That's what happened with my first Zentangle experience. In a new experience, I found soemthing comforting and creative, and releasing.
I did things a little differently than I normally do… And I was granted the opportunity to do so because my classes were unusually (fantastically) small and intimate (read: totally awesome). I was able to teach some extra tangles that I don't normally teach AND give my students the opportunity to follow their intuition and embellish their tangles with only a little bit of direction and coaching. There were so many unique outcomes, I was totally amazed!
I absolutely loved seeing what each person came up with! Their ideas infused me with new inspiration. You new tanglers keep me going!
I also received a lot of great requests and ideas for future classes. So, now I am going through those requests to plan and schedule more classes!
Some options include:
- Magical Mandalas: how to construct them and apply Zentangle-inspired patterns to create beautiful mandalas.
- Beyond Basics: practice drawing your own string, layering tangles, and complete more tangles that might seem complicated!
- Couples Night: We'll cover the basics and a little more, as well as complete tiles together by trading off or trading strings.
I am also going to be doing a giveaway challenge in the coming weeks. Make sure you and your friends are subscribed so that you don't miss out on any updates! It's going to be a really fun virtual event!
So, if you were in my classes, and you're reading this, thank you for the fresh infusion of inspiration and for being AMAZING students!
If you weren't able to make it these past few weekends, I hope to catch you at my next class!
Leave me a comment below to tell me about your first Zentangle experience.

In this three-part series, we're exploring the benefits of line array loudspeaker design—when applied to large arena concert PA systems as well as when it's scaled down to fit in an average size vehicle or small SUV.
Bose has been at the fore front of developing portable line array systems for DJs and live performers since 2003. As a case study, we focused first on the L1 system, which features multiple small drivers in a tall, vertical column with a separate sub-woofer. In this final installment on line arrays, we'll look at the Bose F1 systems.
With the F1, Bose has placed a 12" driver behind an eight speaker line array in the same cabinet. The goal being to combine the punchy low-end of the larger driver with the directional flexibility line arrays.
According to Craig Jackson (Product Line Manager, Portable Systems for Bose Professional in Framingham, MA), "Everything within our portable line draws some kind of inspiration—or is a hybrid of—some type of line array. The F1 is a hybrid, with the ability to control the vertical coverage. We basically put a small wave guide on the eight drivers for a tighter horizontal coverage. In essence, it's a similar concept that is used in big arenas, with the goal of shaping the sound to fit the coverage that is needed. So, you have a lot of the same benefits of the L1 (link to previous) with even more control higher output, and more bass. With F1, the "top box" (model 812) is a stand alone full-range box that plays down to about 50Hz—so that can be used by itself, or with the optional F1 subwoofer for even more bass output and extension down to 40Hz.
Craig says that the development team at Bose also focused on improving vocal clarity setting the F1 crossover around 600- 700Hz, which is lower than most conventional systems—which are crossed over at 1000-2000Hz. The benefit of this lower crossover point is better projection of vocals and mid-range instruments, with tight, punchy bass.

The Many Ways To Use R.L. Elliott Enterprises Inc. Tree Care in Ashland, Virginia
Tree care services provide assistance to a number of businesses and residential homeowners. Both businesses and homeowners need tree services for a variety of reasons. Let's take a look at some of the demanding jobs these services take on.
Falling trees are a problem for many homeowners. During certain times of the year trees are more susceptible to falling and being damaged. For instance, hurricanes and tornadoes often bring very strong winds, and these winds are sometimes strong enough to cause trees to topple over. When home and business owners have to deal with trees that have fallen they can call R.L. Elliott Enterprises Inc. tree care in Ashland, Virginia.
Sometimes tree services are called when homeowners need trees pruned. Pruning trees can be for both aesthetic purposes and safety reasons. Trees have a tendency to grow uncontrollably. For the sake of the landscape's appearance business and homeowners may opt to have the tree pruned. Trees can also grow to be very wide and tall, and can interfere with their surroundings. For instance, a number of tree services are hired to prune trees that have begun to intertwine with power lines. If these trees aren't pruned, they'll eventually cause a power outage or maybe even a fire.
As trees age they begin to become less dense and more hollow. The lack of density can cause the tree to become weak and less sturdy, which means the odds of these trees toppling over is much greater. If one of these trees falls it can cause a lot of damage to the surrounding property. In order to avoid potential damage R.L. Elliott Enterprises Inc. tree care in Ashland, Virginia can be used to remove the tree. This gives the home or business owner more control over when the tree falls.
Aside from pruning or removing trees, tree services are used to plant trees as well. Many of these services have nurseries full of mature trees that can be planted just like a flower. Businesses and homeowners often have these types of trees planted when they need matured trees, and don't want to wait for the small ones to grow. With the right care these newly planted trees will grow to be big and strong.

Butter + sugar + flour + almonds + raspberry jam = delicious. The little twist with these Linzer Cookies is that you add a tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest, which gives them a tang and complements the sweet raspberry filling.
Making them is a bit labor intensive (actually, more than a bit), I admit, but cutout cookies always are. How-Ever….these are crisp and delicious, and I think the "pretty" factor makes them worth the effort!
I'll bring them along to dinner tonight at Beth and Tony's, and when Beth (the original Martha Stewart) ooooohhh's and aaaaahhh's, I'll just smile and say "oh….no big deal….they were easy"!
