The primary theme of a literary work is built into many different facets of its composition. Draft a phrase describing a main theme of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Find passages (list them by line number and brief quotations) in which the poem encodes that theme in (1) an image, (2) a statement, and (3) a plot event. Type this into a document, save it as a Word document or Pdf and upload that file before the deadline. Use the following format:
Description of theme you are identifying.
1: Image (minimum of 1) that provides evidence of your stated theme. This should be an image described in the text--NOT A PICTURE. List the line number(s) and a brief excerpt of the passage.
2: Statements (minimum of 2) that provide evidence of your stated theme. List the line numbers and a brief excerpt of the passage.
3: A plot event that provides evidence of your stated theme.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 7:52 am ad1c9bdddf

When choosing a theme to work with, look for repetition. Are there images that show up more than once (the color green, for example). Are there patterns, or even language that get repeated over and over? Gawain is rich with themes, but one of the best thematic areas to pull from is the idea of the chivalric code. To find a specific theme to discuss, look more closely at those sections of the poem dealing with chivalry or the Court. Another thematic area to think about is nature versus civilization. Look for descriptions of nature or the Green Chapel and contrast them with images and scenes of the court. There are several others to work with, but many students find these to be the easiest areas to recognize themes in this poem.

Illinois Governor Signs Drug-Related Bills into Law
Gov. Bruce Rauner has recently signed into law three bills relating to criminal prosecution and sentencing for drug-related offenses in Illinois. All three laws will enter into effect on January 1, 2016.
One new law targets those who sell bath salts. "Bath salts" is a somewhat generic term used to refer to synthetic drugs that mimic the effects of other drugs, but can cause dangerous side effects. Bath salts are already illegal, but the law recently signed into effect provides a new way for prosecutors to target those who openly or covertly sell the drugs. Retailers such as gas stations and convenience stores sometimes display the dangerous drugs on store shelves, but many who sell bath salts keep them behind the counter, requiring a password or code to purchase them. When the law goes into effect, prosecutors will be able to charge those who knowingly sell bath salts with a felony, punishable with an up to $150,000 fine.
Additionally, Gov. Rauner signed into law two bills which could make it easier for those facing criminal charges for drug-related offenses to use medications to battle their addiction to opioids. The first law addresses the use of medication by drug court participants. Until now, judges have been able to order defendants before the drug court to cease using any prescriptions whatsoever. For a number of participants, this meant that they were unable to take the medications prescribed to them by a physician to address their addiction to opioid drugs, and sometimes doomed them to fail at attempting to kick this addiction. As of January 1, judges will no longer be able to require that all those before the drug court stop taking legally-obtained, prescribed drugs. Finally, Gov. Rauner approved of a law that will require substance abuse programs to teach participants about medications that could help them kick these addictions, such as drugs that treat opioid addictions or drugs that help to prevent overdosing. Both of these laws have the potential to result in greater success for those individuals who are facing charges while participating in drug rehab programs.
If you are facing drug-related charges at the Markham Courthouse or Bridgeview Courthouse, seek out a dedicated, aggressive and trial-ready Chicago criminal defense attorney to represent your rights before the court; contact John Fairman for a consultation, in Homewood at 708-799-4848, or in Justice, IL at 708-799-4848.

Only two of my books are currently available in audio format.
I hold the audio rights for Amoveo Legend 2-5 and for all of my self-pubbed books. My agent has been after me for a while to do the voice work for my own books and I was reluctant at first. I didn't think I had the time. I thought the equipment set up would be more than I could handle. And so on.
But after some more coaxing, and a bunch of research, I have decided to take the leap.
For starters, I'll be recording the first novella in the Stilettos and Seduction series.
You can listen to Chapter One HERE...it's a test run and I'd love your feedback.

I have a feeling that I might have exchanged skills over the past few months. Why is it much harder to write a post than design a graphic? Anyway, given that much of my writing is deeply connected to my emotional, spiritual and mental state, I think this is witness that the waves present before are really declining.
A note to the past era of girls.
It is sad that when I was willing, you were not, when I was ready, you were tired, when I was in love, you had resentment. It is sad that now you're on the road and I'm on the mountain, that you yearn for flowers yet I am a garden.
Phase out. Gone. I am a stage in life that you missed. I am not coming back.
You know what freedom is? Looking at you and not even twitching. So, –> we move as Nkrumah my man said. I guess we'll be neighbours very soon.
Love you? Yes, I do.
Thank God I am growing.

It is my pleasure to post this link for Thief Episode three. In this episode I finish blocking out the major forms on the thief figure. By the end of this sessions she starts to really take shape.
I've had a couple people ask how long the videos are in real time. The answer is between 45 minutes and an hour. I didn't want to edit out any steps since that conflicts with the purpose of the series. Things get pretty exciting in Monday's episode when I sculpt her head. So y'all can look forward to that. :)
Sculpting new miniatures for Relicblade is an absolute joy. I love making this game, and I hope to continue offering exciting new characters and monsters on a regular basis. A successful the Relicblade Kickstarter would mean exactly that. I am looking for a little foundation for the Studio that will pave the way for the future. I don't need a ton of money, but I need enough to set up molds and get prototypes made. The Kickstarter is really the foundation of the game and my company. I really appreciate you vote of confidence when you purchase the game or even just tell your friends about Relicblade.
Cheers friends!

CCTV footage shows a young woman being kissed on the forehead by an older man in a Crawley supermarket, just hours before it is alleged that he murdered her.
Christina Abbotts was tragically found dead in a flat in Highams Hill in Crawley on May 26 this year. A court heard she had been bludgeoned to death with a pestle.
City banker Zahid Naseem, from Amersham, denies murder and is appearing at Lewes Crown Court for trial.
The jury heard how Naseem and Christina had met a number of times before her death as part of her secret life as a 'high class escort'.
Working as a financial consultant in London, Naseem would meet Christina at hotels in the city, rather than in Amersham where he lived with his family.
However on the night of May 24, the pair met in Amersham and took a taxi from there to where she lived in Crawley
The court was shown CCTV images from Asda in Crawley, which Naseem and Christina visited together on the night of May 24.
Naseem can be seen wearing a dark suit and a pale or white collared shirt.
Christina is shown wearing a long, dark coat over a bright dress.
Prosecutor Christopher Tehrani told jurors that the pair visited the store to buy alcohol.
He said: "At one point Mr Naseem seems to kiss Miss Abbott's forehead."
Christina was found dead when police broke into her flat at 2.30am on May 26. The court heard that Naseem was discovered lying in the next room.
He appeared to be unconscious but his eyes were flickering and the prosecution say he was 'play acting'.
The trial continues.

I had injections of restalyne in my chin and now have white bumps inside my mouth should I worry it has been about four weeks.
Okay – so I'm getting the sense that you haven't asked your doctor who did the injections about this? Please call and explain the problem to her/his nurse and have them look at you in person. Without seeing them, it's impossible to tell. Another good point in support of always seeing good doctors that can be reached because the unexpected does happen. Link to more info. Dr. I

Issue 4, July 27 - August 9, 2016
How migration affects the economy. That's the question. Isn't it? While this newspaper will be bringing various takes on this by our policy makers and market watchers in future, we start with a very good explanation by reserve bank officials on page six.
In the last issue, we introduced a column for documenting third sector activities in Greater Christchurch and we thank Christchurch Resettlement Services for becoming a part of it. Read the Bhutanese Fun Family Day story on Page seven.
We are continuously trying to improve and introduce new segments in every issue, and this time on page 15 we have started publishing free public notices for the benefit of the entire community.
A special mention for the migrant story on page 13 where Maria from Italy shares her kidney donation story. It took some persuasion, as good people don't like to talk about their good deeds, but she reluctantly agreed. Hats off to her!
May she inspires all of us!
As you might have seen on page one, the police recruitment drive in Christchurch was a huge success. Now the onus is on the Police to translate this interest into real recruitments. While this may take some time, the initiative must be lauded by one and all. A not-so-diverse police force is never good for a community, if international events in the past one year are anything to go by.
I urge you to take a look at our centre-spread detailing the various religions of Canterbury. While there is a special note on the page expressing this, I too unreservedly apologise for any unintentional error in depicting the religious symbols. I hope our readers will take the illustration with the same spirit it was made with.

#10: Who's Looking Forward to 2007?
Of course, all players worth their body weight in salt SHOULD be looking forward to the new year. After all, it'll include an entire season that'll give them the chance to solidify what they accomplished in 2006, or erase past disappointment and start over again with a clean slate after a particularly lackluster campaign.
But history and human nature says that some players -- be it through sheer will or by an expected change in luck -- seem to have the odds in their favor. For a few, the next eleven months will present them with exciting opportunities which could leave them smiling widely by this time next year. Here are a few of those players:
Alicia Molik
...in early 2005, the Aussie Steamer, a fun-lovin' girl-next-door who seemed like "one of the gang," had finally realized her moment in the sun. Coming off winning Olympic Bronze in Athens and defeating Maria Sharapova to win the Zurich Tier I (becoming the first to beat the Russian in a tour final), Molik opened '05 by surging in front of her local legion of supporters. She won Sydney, then raced to the Australian Open QF (the first Aussie-born women to do so since '88), and nearly upset #1 Lindsay Davenport to get within one match of the final. She climbed into the Top 10 for the first time, and looked ready to continue to move forward toward even bigger and better things... only to then be whacked upside the head by the fickle hand of fate. After winning over so many to her cause, it appeared as if she might have nothing tangible, tennis-wise, left to offer in return. At mid-season, Molik was felled by a case of vestibular neuronitis, an inner ear infection that affected her vision and balance and sent her results into a tailspin, ultimately forcing her off the tour for most of the final eight months of the '05 season. As '06 began, she was prepared to be forced to skip the entire season. Quite literally, Molik's career was in jeopardy of being extinguished. As last season wore on, Molik improved. She participated in the Aussie version of "Dancing with the Stars," then tentatively returned to the tour in May. She went 9-16 for the season, registered a win in Fed Cup play, and attained her season's best result with a QF in Guangzhou near the close of a "two steps forward, one step back" attempt at a comeback campaign that left her ranked #164. So, what comes next? In Molik's case, it's not a matter of whether she'll ever be fortunate enough to have athletic lightning strike her for the first time. She has talent galore -- big strokes and power -- and a game built for grass and hard court success (she'd even won 18 of her first 19 doubles matches to start '05), and was finally basking in it before her career's brush with extinction. During Molik's time in the woods, Samantha Stosur became Australia's #1 singles player (and the world's #1 in doubles), and Jelena Dokic returned Down Under before doing her usual disappearing act once again. A healthy Molik, who turns 26 in January, still has the most star potential of any of the Aussies (male or female), and a James Blake-like revival from the brink would be welcomed with open arms from all corners, not just by her mates back home. With the help of new coach Paul Kilderry, she's been working for two months and recently declared herself in her best shape in two years as she prepares to begin play in the Oz Playoff tournament in a few days. If she's up to it, the Steamer could be sitting on the feel good story of 2007.
PREDICTION DART BOARD: Molik will reach the QF at a slam, win two titles and return to the Top 15
Nadia Petrova & Tatiana Golovin
...Petrova and Golovin's games both made strides in 2006, but they're at different stages along their career paths.
After seasons of struggling to break through, Petrova ended '05 with her first career title and carried over the resulting confidence boost into '06. She reached the Oz QF, then dominated the clay season, winning four titles during a 22-1 tear that stretched from the Middle East across the Atlantic to the U.S. and back again to Europe. During the period, she moved past Maria Sharapova to become the highest-ranked Russian (she climbed as high as #3 in the world), and was looking to be a potential favorite at Roland Garros. But a hip injury in practice scuttled it all. She limped into Paris, exited in the 1st Round, then had to skip Wimbledon altogether. Returning to form (especially mentally) proved to be a monumental task, but Petrova worked until she got it right. A 3-8 spiral (she recorded zero wins from RG to the start of the U.S. Open) finally turned in her favor in Stuttgart in October as she added title #5 to her '06 total, setting the stage for two more appearances in finals (Moscow and Linz) and a win over #1 Amelie Mauresmo in the YEC. With her career breakthrough coming in '05, then her career year being banked in '06, 2007 offers Petrova the chance to finally join the list of Russian slam marvels. She's already showed her versatility by reaching the SF at Roland Garros (twice) and the QF at the other three slams... but she's never played in a slam final and, at the age of 24, her window of opportunity could begin to close after about two more seasons. Rarely are "do-overs" awarded, but the European misfortune of late spring could be reversed the next time around. Petrova now knows she CAN do it, and for her that's far more than half the battle.
Golovin, too, is looking for a second chance. The Frussian Pastry was the "Vaidisova of '04," the teen looking for all the world like the next young player who'd put together a Top 10 push. After holding steady in '05 (and reaching her second career final), Golovin was turning up the pressure in 2006's opening months. Her early season results inclued a SF in Paris, then her run in Miami made her look like a star. In her adopted hometown, she upset Elena Dementieva and had backed Sharapova into a corner in the QF (overcoming a 5-1 deficit and four match points in the 2nd set) before nastily turning her ankle after chasing a ball to the court's margins in the 3rd set. Two months were lost, as was precious ground. The 18-year old returned at Roland Garros (where Vaidisova coincidentally zoomed to the SF) and soon began to pick up where she'd left off. A SF in Stanford led to a QF at the U.S. Open (her best ever slam result), then a RU in Stuttgart (she lost to Petrova). It all brought back memories of the stepping stones that Golovin had started to set down in Miami before she was so rudely interrupted. After being eclipsed by Vaidisova on the "It Girl" list during the layoff, Golovin easily handled the Czech teen in her season-closing event in Zurich. Now, 2007 offers Golovin the chance to officially reclaim her position as "the teenager most likely"... if she can just manage to stay on the court.
PREDICTION DART BOARD: Petrova will reach her first slam final (probably RG), and Golovin will claim at least the first two tour singles titles of her career
The Young Romanians
...we're always on the lookout for a new revolution, aren't we? After the Russians came the Chinese, and now the deep ex-Soviet Republic/Eastern Bloc waters of Europe are producing talent emanating from Prague and Kiev to Warsaw and Minsk. How about adding Bucharest to that list of starting points? Yes, a Romanian Revolution could be lurking on the horizon. There's yet to be an Anna or Maria (or even a Jie, for that matter) to lead the army of Romanian girls into battle, but there is some past evidence that proves the women's game can indeed attract the girls not swept up in the latest search to find another Gold Medal-winning gymnast. Romanian woman have won twenty singles title in the Open Era, from the twelve by Virginia Ruzici in the '70s/'80s to the four apiece during the '80s/'90s by Ruxandra Dragomir and '97 U.S. Open semifinalist Irina Spirlea (people complain about JHH, but what would they say now about a player like Spirlea, who had to be ironically admired for being willing to be outright mean and boorish at times, something of a female version of Romanian bad boy/slam champ Ilie Nastase? Needless to say, I kind of liked her.). The names don't exactly overflow with grandeur, but we're not talking Kazakhstan here (sorry Amina Rakhim). The Horde needn't likely worry, but a Romanian regiment is indeed being assembled... even if it might be a bit early to expect titles and Maria-esque endorsements to soon begin to flow. As of now, 17-year old Raluca-Ioana Olaru is really the only Romanian girl to leave much of an actual footprint, reaching the '05 Roland Garros Girls final (and the '06 Oz Girls SF). Meanwhile, Alexandra Dulgheru made the '06 Wimbledon Girls QF, Monica Niculescu the '05 Oz Girls QF, and Miheala Buzarnescu the '05 U.S. Girls SF. The Junior Top 20 recently simultaneously included Buzarnescu, Sorana Cirstea, Dulgheru and Olaru, while nearly twenty different Romanian women managed to grab ITF singles titles in 2006.
#201 Madalina Gojnea, 19
#223 Monica Niculescu, 19
#261 Mihaela Buzarnescu, 18
#262 Raluca-Ioana Olaru, 17
#319 Agnes Szatmari, 19
#356 Sorana Cirstea, 16
#371 Corina Corduneanu, 18
#515 Diana Enache, 19
#545 Alexandra Dulgheru, 17
#562 Anamaria Sere, 18
Keep a close eye on the group as a whole in '07. By the end of the new year, a few should be a bit more familiar if things go according to plan.
PREDICTION DART BOARD: One of the Romanians will win a junior slam singles crown, and Olaru will reach a tour SF
The Sisters (but not THOSE sisters)
...the WTA tour is increasingly becoming a family affair (and Jaz Agassi is still a decade away from puberty). Sister acts like Venus & Serena are hardly an anomaly these days, proving that either familial athletic genes are extremely strong these days, or that one sibling is especially prone to imitating the other. Ukraine's trio of Bondarenkos, while not rivaling the troika of Maleevas, did see Alona win her first WTA title and Kateryna claim an ITF event, as both have already bested the career accomplishments of older sister Valeria. America has the Gullicksons (or "The Naturals," considering their dad was a former Major League Baseball pitcher), Top 60 doubles player Carly and rising junior Chelsey, who seems destined to trump her big sis in singles play in a few years. And, then, of course there are the siblings of men's stars Marat Safin (#11 Dinara Safina), Richard Krajicek (Michaella won two tour titles in '06) and Mario Ancic (Sanja is set to team with big bro in Hopman Cup play in a few weeks). But the two who might be poised to eventually inherit the title of "best sisters" could be Poland's Radwanskas.
2006 saw 17-year old Agnieszka and 16-year old Urszula both rank in the Top 10 in juniors at the same time. Agnieszka won the Roland Garros Girls title, then reached the Wimbledon main draw Round of 16 (as a wild card in her slam MD debut) just as Urszula battled into the SW19 Girls SF (a year after her big sis had won the Girls title at the All-England Club). Agnieszka made her mark with big upsets in '06, knocking off Anastasia Myskina in Warsaw in her first match against a Top 100 player, and then the likes of Venus Williams, Elena Dementieva and Anna-Lena Groenefeld later in the season. For her part, Urszula also pushed Myskina (7-6/6-3) in Stockholm, making the Czarina likely hope there isn't a third Radwanska out their with a score to settle. If last season was but a taste of what these sisters have in store for the tour, then Poland might just have it's first honest to goodness tennis stars who'll succeed where still title-less Marta Domachowska hasn't. That is, becoming the first Polish woman to win a WTA singles title. Who knows, maybe the 1-2 Radwanska family punch could provide half (or maybe all?) of the first all-Pole WTA final by the time the calendar is turned over to the 2010's.
PREDICTION DART BOARD: Agnieszka will become the first Polish woman to win a tour singles title, while Urszula will claim a Junior Girls crown. (Oh, and Safina will become the latest Russian to win a Tier I championship, too.)
Sania Mirza
...in 2005, the Indian Princess was the toast of the tour. A fresh face with an equally fresh mouth. A winning attitude with a stinging two-handed backhand down the line that helped her win the tour's "Newcomer of the Year" award. Sania Mirza spent the season putting her name on a series of "first to" lists, reaching the Australian Open 3rd Round and U.S. Open Round of 16, and winning a tour singles title (no Indian woman had ever accomplished as much). She began her '06 season having worked a bit in the offseason with Tony Roche, and her future looked bright. So, what happened? Last season, Mirza didn't win a singles title (she only made a single SF), saw her won/lost record go from 33-20 in '05 to 20-24 and her ranking from #31 to #66, her best slam results were a pair of 2nd Rounds, and her reverberation factor in the media fell by, to be conservative, at least half. 2007 offers Mirza the opportunity to recapture the spotlight, without having to be burned in effigy in the process. She still has many positives working in her favor: beauty, personality, the novelty of being an opinionated and visible woman of the Muslim faith, and an oft-exciting brand of tennis. Young players usually go through growing pains, following up breakout seasons with a period of quiet before finally regaining their footing due to their familiarity with their new life under the microscope. Even with her past tendency to shoot off with every opinion that drifted through her mind, Mirza seemed to have a good head on her shoulders to go along with the promise that caught Roche's eye. She went 7-4 in her final '06 swing through Asia (getting a win over Martina Hingis in Seoul), notching two QF and a SF for three of her four best results of the season. Will closing on such an uptick carry over? 2007 will be her chance to prove all the attention and optimism of '05 wasn't based on a mirage.
PREDICTION DART BOARD: Mirza will win another tour singles title back home in India, and her ranking will click up at least 20 slots before the end of the season
1. Victoria Azarenka (BLR): she's been on the cusp of a breakthrough for about a year now
2. Olga Poutchkova (RUS): showed late '06 signs of possibly being something special
3. Vania King (USA): it only took her three months as a pro to win her first WTA singles title
4. Jamea Jackson (USA): she proved capable of flattening giants (can you say, "Sharapova on grass?") in '06
5. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (RUS): her junior resume is loaded for (Russian) bear
6. Aleksandra Wozniak (CAN): the best Canadian since 1980's star Carling Bassett, a two-time quarterfinalist at Roland Garros.
7. Tszvetana Pironkova (BUL): in Sesil's absence, the Bulgarian will be looking to transport her ability to generate big-time slam wins to the rest of her schedule.
8. Aravane Rezai (FRA): another youngster with a dad who makes unfortunate headlines
9. Yung-Jan Chan (TPE): in 2006, her results progressed from RG Junior SF to Wimbledon & U.S. Open qualifier to Tokyo Japan Open SF.
10. Shuai Zhang (CHN): could be this year's Zi Yan (in other words, the next Cookie to win her first tour title after warming up on the ITF circuit)
HM- Anna Tatishvili (GEO): it's never too early to keep an eye on a fast-rising Anna
All for now.
UP NEXT: Who might end up dreading 2007? Well, under the right circumstances, just about anyone... unless you're a currently non-glowing opponent of Vladimir Putin, of course. In that case, you'd be best content with simply enjoying your next few minutes, if you know what's good for you.
Take a look at things from a pessimist's point of view in "Intriguing Question #9."

Friday Fun: Minnesota Style, My Hometown
Two weeks ago, my hubby and I brought our kiddos out for Dairy Queen and then we drove around town through the rain. It was such a fun time - and it reminded me of some of my favorite memories from when I was a kid in the backseat of my parents' mini-van. When I was little I ordered a chocolate cone dipped in crunch, but when I was a little older I always had a M&M Blizzard. Now I get a cookie dough Blizzard with brownie chunks! Mmmm... Our Dairy Queen closes for the winter, so we're getting in all the treats we can handle before the snow flies. :)
Here are a couple of my photos from that outing.
What about you? What kind of treat do you get when you go to the Dairy Queen?

Usually midnight truffle blizzard with pecans, but lately peanut buster parfaits taste so good! We miss the Little Falls DQ alot! Along with all the friends, church family, zoo, Long Prairie Drive In, etc. All the people and places that make LF and surrounding area very special!ReplyDelete

Love the pictures, Gabrielle, especially the rainbow.ReplyDelete
Do all ice cream places in Minnesota close for the winter? In California we eat ice cream year 'round.
Wonderful pics, Gabrielle. My hubby loves seeing these - he's from close to your neck of the woods and I always make a point to share your photos with him.ReplyDelete
Dairy Queen - I'm a Heath Bar girl. LOVE the Heath Blizzard. Yum. Gonna have to get me some of that Heath Blizzard now....
Have a wonderful weekend,
I love your photos!ReplyDelete
I also had to smile at the talk about Dairy Queen. My youngest sister is 10 years younger than me and when I was a teenager and she was a little kid, we used to take outings to Dairy Queen in the summer...and I have all these photos she drew when she was little of her and me and the DQ. I dig 'em out every once in awhile to make me smile. :)
I grew up in a tiny town, and if there were only a few kids on the bus home, the driver would stop at the Dairy Queen and get us all ice cream cones. :)ReplyDelete

We've had Dairy Queen (just Andrew and I...after kids are in bed :) ) 3 times the past week...bad...but oh so good :). I have been getting the french silk pie blizzard, and ask them to add chocolate cone dip. They always ask "Instead of the chocolate fudge?" To which I reply "No, in addition to the chocolate fudge."ReplyDelete
Down here we don't have them, but up north we so do and I love the Peanut Buster Parfait. "Everybody loves a good parfait." Name that movie! ;)ReplyDelete
Love your photos. They're always so beautiful!
I'm far to self disciplined and important and special to EVER by junk food, especially ice cream.ReplyDelete
AHAHA! And I lie like a rug.
I'm rather fond of the cheesequake blizzard, you know, on that one day a year that I allow myself to go off my organic spelt and quinoa, free range chicken and tofu diet.
I have to go now, the van is making me go to the drive thru.
Bobbi Jo - we miss you, too! MOPS isn't quite the same without you, neither is AWANA. :( I love Peanut Buster Parfaits, as well, but since I worked at the Dairy Queen, I pretty much love everything there!ReplyDelete
Keli - no, not all. Usually independent Dairy Queens that are in their own little building close for the winter, but ice cream parlors in malls and strip malls stay open year round. I imagine people don't usually get the hankering for an ice cream cone in -10 degrees weather! I'd much rather have hot chocolate on days like that!
Becky - I'm happy your hubby is enjoying them, as well! I'm such a fan of Minnesota, I can't help but share my love for it! :) I worked at the DQ and the Heath Bar Blizzard was one I never tried because Heath always gets stuck in my teeth - but it was a very popular choice for a lot of people.
Melissa - some of my favorite memories from childhood center around people taking me to the DQ! How fun that your sister had such good times with you there - and you have pictures to prove it! :) Do you ever show her those pictures now?
Julie - I never took the bus, but I remember my friends telling me the same thing - especially on the last day of school. :)
Lindsay L. - I can totally hear you saying that! If you're going to go all out, get the cone dip AND the chocolate fudge!! :) Looking forward to seeing you tonight!
Jessica - I had to google that one! :) Shrek?? I'm so sorry you don't have Dairy Queens in the South, that's just terrible! At least you have access. By the way, I loved your text yesterday - it was a day brightener - even if it took me forever to respond! :)
Jennifer - :) I wonder what a tofu Blizzard would taste like? They say that tofu takes on the flavor it's added to - it could be interesting! My van always pulls me into the drive thru - it's tough to say no...
*gasp* How sad that your DQ closes in the winter!!!! I love ice cream, and eat it even in the winter. Of course, it doesn't exactly get freezing cold here like in Minnesota...ReplyDelete
And my fave is the Oreo Blizzard! Their Dilly bars are good too, especially if I'm looking for a lower-cal option (get the no sugar added kind).
What beautiful pictures!! I love rain, rainbows and sunsets following a storm. :) MY DQ fave has got to be a plain ole chocolate dipped cone. I had one on the way home from Dallas last weekend! YUM!ReplyDelete
Oh, my gosh! You're making me hungry! Now I want to eat so much ice cream and we don't have any in the house (because, of course, I'd eat it. So I don't buy it.)ReplyDelete
Anyway, I loved the photos, too. The third one is so gorgeous and arresting. Really. I don't know if it's the colors, or what, but you may want to enter it in Pioneer Woman Photography's latest contest/meme/thingie because they're doing Instagram photos. This definitely deserves to be with all the others she has highlighted.
I'm a simple, chocolate-dipped cone kinda girl. But the Peanut Buster Parfait is good too... :-)ReplyDelete
Whenever we traveled as a kid, we would stop at DQ. I loved getting a Dilly Bar for dessert! YUM. I always made a mess, but it was oh-so-good!ReplyDelete
Beautiful pics, Gabrielle!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
I had to look this up, but I think what I usually order is a blizzard. But I'm definitely for anything with chocolate!! (except dark chocolate that is!)
Blessings to you and your fam =)

This looks great AND super easy. I am going to cook for myself tomorrow night!
Recipe by KalaLea K
Serves 4 peace lovin' hillbillies (1 whole pepper per 2 persons)
I've been making this side dish for years. Another easy, throw-in-the-oven dish that's filling, portobello mushrooms are actually large cremini mushrooms. They also contain more potassium than a banana plus they hold large amounts of an antioxidant called L-ergothioneine. Antioxidant = immune builder and this equals GOOD.
PRE-HEAT OVEN: 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2 whole red peppers (you're going to stuff them so get full-looking peppers)
3 portobello mushrooms
1/2 large onion chopped finely (i used red onion this time)
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
2-3 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp of paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
chef's knife
glass baking dish or a pie pan will do
large bowl
medium to large spoon
CHOP it UP!
• Dice your onion
• Peel and chop your garlic finely
• Chop the portobello mushrooms in small pieces
• Rinse and cut each pepper in half (remove the white part and the seeds)
PREP it UP!
1. In a large bowl, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spice mixture, onions, garlic, and mushrooms
2. With a wooden spoon, mix everything together until mushrooms, etc are well coated
3. In small glass pan, place the red pepper halves with the opening facing up
4. Put the mushroom mixture inside of the red pepper halves
5. Put the extra mushroom mix in the pan around the peppers and add a teeny bit of water so the pan doesn't burn
6. Cook for 15 minutes ( or until you think it's done)
7. Don't hesitate – Clean while you wait :)
8. Turn off the oven, let the dish cool then taste the cooked mushroom mixture to see if it needs any salt or a splash of balsamic vinegar — a pinch of cayenne pepper is lovely too.
Serve with cooked millet and a sunflower sprout salad (as shown here). Have a cozy weekend and Bon Appétit!
This looks great AND super easy. I am going to cook for myself tomorrow night!

Golf holidays abroad are mostly about Europe. This continent has mesmerized travelers for many years. There is a great charm that is so European in nature, and which is very hard to find elsewhere in the world. The culture is rich, full of tradition and history but for an enthusiast, the thing is that arranging for a golf holiday in Europe will be one of the most rewarding things. Ask anyone who knows about the game and he/she will tell you that Scotland and Ireland gave its birth. In Europe, the conditions are perfectly conducive for playing. Considering constantly rainy weather in UK, British tourists keep invading nearest countries like Portugal and Spain, well known around the world for superb services.
To start with, the Mediterranean weather of Italy and Turkey, for example, makes golfing holidays there very lucrative. It is a must-do thing. This means that visitors can play in those two countries any time of the year. To capitalize on that, the two countries have amazing courses. Hot on the heels of that is the popularity of all inclusive golf holidays on the Internet, with the travel agencies and so on. Indeed, this is soon going to become the best-selling thing in travel. In Europe, it is no longer about playing only, but it is now all about Europe being the luxury destination of all time, teeing into the meadows.
Golfing holidays in Europe are made even better by the fact that visitors can mix sport, business and relaxation. With all resorts where visitors can stay equipped with the Internet, and many modern facilities for business, a person can arrange to play golf on selected times in the day, catch on their emails and some office work and then have a very relaxing time in the sun and sand in destinations like Italy and Spain.
France: In France, the game itself is very popular. However, Normandy and Provence are very popular for their courses and… yes; you guessed right, their wine! However, there is great golf to be enjoyed around the most romantic city in the world Paris. Some of the most popular clubs where one can enjoy the game include Morfontein and Les Bordes clubs. Different golf holidays in Europe will cost different prices depending on several factors.
Spain: Valderrama and San Roque are just a few of the exemplary world-class courses in Spain where one will enjoy the most tremendous game of golf. Costa Del Sol is one of the best destinations for golf holidays Europe. In addition to the game itself, visitors will enjoy great sun, food and nightlife.
Turkey: Nobilis Golf Club and National Golf club are the most renowned in the Golfing destination of Belek in Turkey. Now, in addition to having four world-class courses that are a short drive away from one another, there is the greatest weather, food and culture in Turkey.
Portugal: San Lorenzin is one of the greatest courses in the world. It is located in the Algarve region.
Italy: Italy does not seem to be very popular with shooting balls into holes, but wait until you get there, and you will be surprised. Lake Como in Milan offers some of the greatest golf in the world in addition to lovely sunny weather, great cuisine and wine.
Scotland: Everything about Golf holidays in Europe, when taken in Scotland suggests great luxury. Golfers can choose their golf courses and 3 to 5 star accommodations even in castles. Other features of luxury golf breaks Europe, Scotland would include a Rolls-Royce and castle stay.
While these are some of the most prestigious golf destinations in Europe, there are also cheap golf holidays. No matter what ones budget is, it will get them a very memorable golf holiday in Europe. It is important that one carries out a comprehensive research online to find information relevant to affordable golf holidays including flights to various destinations in Europe.

Vin Diesel takes the high road in ongoing "Fast 8" feud with Dwayne Johnson
Things are certainly getting awkward in the "Fast and Furious" family. After Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson called out several unnamed male co-stars from the franchise's eighth installment, many speculated that he was actually referencing Vin Diesel.
A source confirmed to ET at the time that Diesel was the main subject of The Rock's Instagram rant after showing up late to set several times. Though the "XXX" actor has not directly acknowledged the beef, he has posted several sweet messages to his "Fast 8" family after wrapping up shooting on the film. On Friday, he took to Facebook Live to share some more details with his fans.
"Know this, without you, I would not be doing 'Fast 8,'" Diesel said.
He went on to note some casting and plot changes that came about at the request of the franchise's avid fan base.
"The reason we brought Dwayne Johnson into 'Fast 5' was because of you," Diesel said. "There was a girl named Jan Kelly who said, 'I would love to see you work together on screen.' So the role that was originally written for Tommy Lee Jones, we gave it to Dwayne and he shined in it."
Diesel also praised some of the franchise's newest stars, including legendary British actress Helen Mirren.
"One of the best scenes I had in 'Fast 8' was working with Helen Mirren. It was so surreal. She's such a wonderful, wonderful talent. It was such a blessing," he said.
And though Diesel has been singing Johnson's praises, the former WWE wrestler had no kind words for him. On Friday, The Rock posted another Instagram message after wrapping, in which he thanked Scott Eastwood, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Tyrese Gibson, before giving a blanket thanks to the "Fast 8" family.

Update: Thank you all for helping get our project off the ground! Check out the updates section above to see more footage from the EZ-Steady.
You can now choose black anodizing as a color option for the weight arm! (We'll get your preference at the end of the project)
How do I know what to pledge?
My Story
I started making films a year ago and quickly realized that without a camera stabilizer my footage was useless. I tried several different products but all of them had their own issues. So I asked myself this question. What if there was an affordable stabilizer that was quick to balance and easy to pan and tilt?
That's when my quest started to engineer the "perfect" stabilizer. After almost a year of designing, prototyping, and re-designing I came up with the EZ-Steady. You can balance it in 5 minutes or less. You can "fly" it effortlessly with one hand. And, it's affordable with a MSRP of $325 ($225 if you pledge on Kickstarter) while still being made right here in the USA.
What is the EZ-Steady?
If you are unfamiliar with camera stabilzers, the EZ-Steady is a way to get really smooth camera motions without having to use a large rig. It is a simple, hand held device that eliminates camera shake and gives the footage a feeling of flying.
What's so cool and different about it?
Most camera stabilizers take a long time to balance your camera when you're first learning. With the simple stage systlem, it can take as little as 5 minutes.
Also, the precision machined gimbal allows amazing range of motion for running or low to the ground shots. The weights shown in the picture below are easily adjustable. They allow you to remove counterweights without having to completely unscrew the weight pack from the stabilizer arm. This makes for quick adjustments on the fly if you're changing lenses or cameras.
The EZ-Steady is also extremely compact. This enables you to get low to the ground shots or fit into tight places when filming. It packs away easily for travel and you can even detach the weight arm if needed.
Why is this product on Kickstarter?
This is where you guys come in. Oh my wonderful Kickstarter community. You see over the past year I've spent countless dollars (my wife knows exactly how much) on product design that I don't have the money for my first production run. I need your generous support to get this product going and into the hands of creative film-makers.
That's why we need your help to get the ball rolling. We're offing the EZ-Steady at a reduced price if you pledge $225 towards this project.
What's Rhino Camera Gear?
RCG is the company I created to sell the EZ-Steady and other film making equipment we design in the future (Sliders and shoulders rests are currently in development). Don't be surprised if you see our future products making their debut on Kickstarter.
Note: The final production version will have a few changes made to it. All for the better of the EZ-Steady. These include a stainless steel gimbal, a micro-adjustable weight to balance it even quicker, and a slightly smaller stage. Please message me if you have any questions.
Thanks for checking out my project! Please watch the video and have a read through the FAQs below. Click the green button to the right if you're interested in funding EZ-Steady, and you'll be guided through the simple process.

Remember when Joey put The Shining in the freezer so he could stay safe? I'd be willing to bet this year's Halloween Horror Nights 27 would scare the pants off of him. The Shining is just one of the heart-stopping haunts you'll find waiting for you at Universal Studios Orlando. This year there are 9 houses, 5 scare zones and let's not forget Bill and Ted's farewell tour. Like every year it is a can't miss event so keep reading while I tell you about my favorites and moments you can probably skip.
Tim and I visited Halloween Horror Nights 27 about two weeks ago and were frightfully amused by the evening. Being a huge fan of Blumhouse I couldn't wait to get inside the Horrors of Blumhouse haunt. Tim was as always itching to see what they did with American Horror Story. It seems however that each year our favorite house is one of Universal's original ideas (or intellectual properties as they call them).
Halloween Horror Nights 27 Houses
Horrors of Blumhouse
It seemed to me they tried to fit way too much into this house. It was still scary and Insidious and Sinister were spine-chilling, by far the scariest house of all. However, I could have gone for a house with just Sinister all the way through. Don't skip this one by any means, but be prepared to take in a lot all at once.
The Shining
You know what they say about all work and no play and they are keeping Jack busy. So busy in fact he's about the majority of the scares in this house modeled to look like The Overlook Hotel. We see the twins, the woman from the bathtub, Wendy and more of the characters but there is a ton of Jack. I personally could have done without this house but Tim really liked it. I think if you are a big fan of this book or movie it is one of those magical moments to see the hotel come to life. Universal did a fantastic job with the decorating. I just think they spilled a bit of blood…
American Horror Story
14 rooms of memorable frights. They cover a few seasons in this house, I believe Coven, Roanoke, and Asylum. This house is always a favorite because of the way they bring the story to life. I felt like I was inside that Roanoke house in more than one moment. It's the one house where I can't look away from the scares, even jump scares. No matter how much they freak me out I want to see if they nailed the room or the costume. Of course, the creative team at Universal Orlando always does.
Dead Waters
This is an intellectual property created by the team at Universal. I wanted to do this house twice and so did Tim but there wasn't time. The house sinks and the floor will get soggy y'all! It's a Voo-Doo style house so if this isn't your cup of tea you might want to sit it out. Plenty of skulls and chanting.
Scarecrow: The Reaping
If you aren't terrified of scarecrows like Moi this may not bother you as much as it did me. Basically, these scarecrows come up from the earth and scare your pants off. I don't like bag headed creatures of any sort that are meant to scare away birds. No matter how they are supposed to look they give me goosebumps. Remember in Jeepers Creepers when the lady says "That's not my scarecrow." I lost it. One of the scariest movie moments for me. The scarecrow house is all depression era with the dirt and the sadness. Don't say I didn't warn you.
These are the houses I think you should visit if you must choose. A few people have asked me about Saw and I'll just be honest and say I think they took a wrong turn with this one. It wasn't a favorite of mine. I didn't find it especially scary or interesting to look at. However, my friend loved it so please make educated decisions after reading your map or the Halloween Horror Nights 27 website.
Scare Zones
As you walk through the park you find yourself stalked by the scareactors in each scare zone. Some are better than others. This year they did such a good job and it is hard to choose which to venture through. I would not miss The Purge and please leave yourself time for an auction. Just trust me. It's something I'll remember forever. After that, I personally love Trick r Treat with little Sam. I mean what isn't to love about that rule following demon? He and his friends will kill you if you don't follow the rules of Halloween so be sure to brush up before the day comes. Invasion! is a can't miss creative masterpiece. An absolute work of art. Not as much scary (okay kind of scary) as it is impressive.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure
Although I've recently been hard on our good friends Bill and Ted I hate to see them go. But they are leaving after about 26 years. I've been lucky enough to see a large percentage of these shows and it'll be a shame for their hijinks and hit music to move on. Make sure to leave time for their farewell tour which I promise isn't all about Donald Trump, which I feared. He's part of it but not all of it. There are many other phenomenal pop culture icons to enjoy and a special video at the end.
I'll never stop stressing the importance of Halloween Horror Nights Express so that you can get the most out of your evening. These lines get to be 120 minutes+ long. If you have the ability gather a group of friends and do a private tour, that's the best way to see the park. Even better, purchase a Frequent Fear Pass so you can visit over and over throughout the month and a half the event is open. It is worth every penny.
I look forward to Halloween Horror Nights every year and Halloween Horror Nights 27 is no different. I was in no way disappointed and I don't think you will be either. Go into each house with an open mind and a deep breath and be prepared to scream, jump and be scared. I certainly was.
*Thank you for the tickets Universal Studios!

TBILISI: International Financial Organisation (IFC) has arranged a $140 million financing package for Armenia's major power generating facilities, a move that will bolster the country's supply of clean energy, the IFC said on Tuesday.
The funding was allocated to ContourGlobal Hydro Cascade, a subsidiary of ContourGlobal, an international power-generation company, to upgrade the 404-megawatt Vorotan hydro-power complex, parts of which are almost four decades old.
The package includes the IFC's own loan of $45 million as well as loans of $65 million from FMO, the Dutch development bank, and $30 million from DEG, the German Investment and Development Corporation.
"This is the first time we are putting together very large, long-term financing package for infrastructure project in Armenia," Tomasz Telma, the IFC's Europe and Central Asia department director, told Reuters.
He did not disclose financial details of the package, but said that in addition to the loan, IFC acted as a sole provider of an interest rate swap, which would help ContourGlobal Hydro Cascade hedge the interest rate risk on the financing package.
The IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, said the Vorotan Cascade was expected to generate around 1,150 gigawatt hours of electricity annually after the upgrade.
"The financing is expected to boost electricity reliability, providing a steady supply of clean power to an additional 60,000 residential customers," Telma said.
The Vorotan Cascade includes three hydropower plants and provides 15 percent of Armenia's electricity.
"Increasing its capacity is key for Armenia, a country that imports fuel to cover around 90 percent of its energy needs," the IFC said in a statement.

Today, I have some lovely purple and gold table designs to share with you. Designed to showcase as inspiration for prospective clients, April Hollar of April Chantel Wedding & Event Company teamed up with Esvy Photography and floral designer Violet And Verde to bring us these oh-so pretty settings.
The lavender and gold palette speaks to a bride who craves a contemporary yet romantic look. And the cut crystal bowls with antique gold pedestals highlight the florals and unique custom linen in a gorgeous way. By choosing soft pinks, lavender and cream they were able to evoke an amorous setting made for lovers. Yet the design could act as a perfect focal point for a bride and groom sweetheart table as well.
The cream and gold palette will attract a bride who loves a timeless, traditional and romantic design. The golden cherub vessels and candle holders serve as supremely unique focal points on the table. April shares she wanted to bring the outdoors "in" and so she chose a vessel somewhat typical to one seen in a flower garden. And since they wanted a soft, lush and dreamy feel, cream hydrangeas and roses, lisianthus, cabbage and dahlias were chosen.

Shot to the Heart
A how-to book about inciting a moral panic.
Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner has uncovered a fascinating document: an 80-page "talking points" monograph titled "Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging," written by a trio of Democratic political operatives.
The document, as Bedard writes, instructs politicians and advocates "to hype high-profile gun incidents like the Florida slaying of Trayvon Martin to win support for new gun control laws." Essentially it's a how-to book on inciting a moral panic....

The costs to a country of leaving the eurozone would be so high that many analysts think the bloc will do everything in its power to prevent an exit, even if that requires the richest members to keep bailing out weak states.
German magazine Spiegel reported on Friday that the Greek government had raised the possibility of breaking away from the 12-year-old eurozone and reintroducing its own currency in talks with the European Commission and other member states in recent days.
The report was vigorously denied by the Greek finance ministry and officials from other member states.
Leaving the currency union would carry huge economic, social, reputational and strategic costs for Greece or any other country. Greece would have to hive off its bank deposits from the rest of the eurozone banking system as it introduced a new currency, risking a run on its banks and huge disruption for its companies.
Banks across Europe would face losses on their Greek debt.
For the bloc as a whole, it would represent a humiliating setback because the common currency is broadly viewed as the culmination of half a century of European integration.
"To me the eurozone is a one-way street," said Gilles Moec, senior European economist at Deutsche Bank. "A breakup would have catastrophic consequences for the country that left. It would precipitate a run on the banks. I can't see how you do it in an orderly way."
Speculation about a possible eurozone breakup reached fever pitch last November, but predictions that the bloc will fracture have come mainly from Anglo-Saxon skeptics.
Last summer, British economist Christopher Smallwood of consultants Capital Economics produced a 20-page paper entitled Why the euro zone needs to break up and US economist Nouriel Roubini, nicknamed Dr Doom, has said eurozone members will be forced to abandon the shared currency.
Greece has struggled to meet the fiscal targets set out for it as part of its 110 billion euro (US$160 billion) bailout from the EU and IMF.
Over the past month, markets have priced in the sort of default risk that was once unthinkable for a eurozone state and expectations have risen that Greece will have to restructure its 327 billion euro debt load while other countries will have to provide more aid.
Political opposition in northern Europe to giving Greece more money and rising anger within the country at the tough austerity measures the government has put in place have created a dangerous new dynamic that has convinced more experts an exit may conceivably happen, although probably not for years.
By reintroducing the drachma, the argument goes, Greece could sharply devalue its currency against the euro and keep official interest rates ultra-low, regain competitiveness and tackle its debt problem without the political and social upheaval associated with years of austerity-fueled recession.
"I'm not suggesting that these stories are right, but we have said that we think it's quite likely that there will be some change to the membership of the eurozone over the next four to five years and that one possible form will be the exit of a small economy like Greece," said Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics. "I don't think the idea is implausible at all."
However, US economist Barry Eichengreen, who authored a 2007 paper arguing that the single currency could not be undone, reaffirmed that belief last year as the Greek crisis deepened.

Three top investors in Microsoft have called for chairman Bill Gates to step down.
The investors, who collectively hold 5% of shares in the global technology giant, are reportedly concerned that Gates is holding back the company's development.
"The three investors are concerned that Gates' role as chairman effectively blocks the adoption of new strategies and would limit the power of a new chief executive to make substantial changes," Reuters reported.
However, the report indicates that Microsoft board is unlikely to accept the demand of the prominent investors.
Gates, who co-founded the pioneering technology organisation 38 years ago, has a 4.5% stake in the $277bn company. In recent years he has gravitated towards philanthropy and now sells Microsoft shares worth $80mn every year to fund his humanitarian ventures.
Reuters claims this process, if continued, will leave him with no financial stake in the company by 2018. Investors fear that this dilution of Gates' interest in the company is detrimental to its fortunes and that his powers as chairman are disproportionate to his stake.
Microsoft has thus far declined to comment on the reports, and Reuters did not disclose the names of the investors who called for ending the Gates era.
Microsoft already has to find a new chief executive to replace Steve Ballmer, who has headed the organisation for 13 years - a period during which a profusion of technology start-ups have emerged to challenge the company.
Ballmer, who had been under investor pressure for years for his perceived inability to improve Microsoft's performance and share price, announced in August that he would step down within 12 months.
Replacing the old guard
Todd Lowenstein, a portfolio manager at HighMark Capital management, which owns Microsoft shares, said of the departure of Gates: "This is long overdue. Replacing the old guard with some fresh eyes can provide the oxygen needed to properly evaluate their corporate strategy."
But not everyone agrees. Fort Pitt Capital group senior analyst Kim Caughey Forrest suggested that Gates could play an even larger role as the company reinvents itself.
"The company has been missing a technology visionary," said Forrest. "Bill would fit the bill."
Apart from a dip during the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, Microsoft shares have remained virtually static for the last decade, up just 5.4 points or 19% since October 2003, and while it remains one of the world's most valuable technology companies - posting a net profit of $22 billion last year - a global shift from personal computers to tablets and smartphones has given rivals and former underdogs Apple and Google the upper hand.
