The Angel Moroni (/moʊˈroʊnaɪ/[1]) is, in Mormonism, an angel that visited Joseph Smith, Jr. on numerous occasions, beginning on September 21, 1823. According to Smith, the angel was the guardian of the golden plates, which Latter Day Saints believe were the source material for the Book of Mormon, buried in a hill near Smith's home in western New York. Moroni is an important figure in the theology of the Latter Day Saint movement, and is featured prominently in Mormon architecture and art. Three Witnesses besides Joseph Smith also reported that they saw Moroni in visions in 1829, as did several other witnesses who each said they had their own vision.
Moroni is thought by Latter Day Saints to be the same person as a Book of Mormon prophet-warrior named Moroni, who was the last to write in the golden plates. The book states that Moroni buried them before he died after a great battle between two pre-Columbian civilizations. After he died, he became an angel, and was tasked with guarding the golden plates, and with eventually directing Joseph Smith to their location in the 1820s. According to Smith, he returned the golden plates to Moroni after they were translated and as of 1838 the angel Moroni still had the plates in his possession.[2]
There have been two conflicting accounts as to whether the angel who appeared to Smith in 1823 and directed him to the golden plates was named Moroni or Nephi. Initially, Smith merely referred to "an angel" without identifying its name. Thus, in an 1831 letter from Lucy Mack Smith to her brother, she discusses Moroni as the person who buried the plates, but does not identify him as the unnamed "holy angel" that gave Smith the means to translate the golden plates (Morgan 1986, p. 349). In Smith's 1832 history, he said he was visited by "an angel of the Lord", who mentioned the Book of Mormon prophet "Moroni" as the last engraver of the golden plates; however, Smith's account did not say whether or not the angel was referring to himself as Moroni (Smith 1832, p. 4).
In 1835, Smith identified the angel as Moroni: In 1835, while preparing the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, he made additions to an earlier revelation regarding sacramental wine, and indicated a number of angels that would come to the earth after the Second Coming and drink wine with Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery (Smith et al. 1835, p. 180). Among those angels, the revelation listed "Moroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel; to whom I have committed the keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim" (id.). Around this time, Oliver Cowdery was writing a history of Joseph Smith in which he identified the angel as the prophet Moroni from the Book of Mormon (Cowdery 1835, p. 112). In July 1838, Smith wrote an article for the church periodical Elders' Journal, in the form of questions and answers, that stated the following:
However, on May 2, 1838, a few months before Smith's statement in Elders' Journal, Smith began dictating a church history that included a detailed account of his visits from the angel (Smith 1838a, p. 7). Smith seems to have identified the angel as "Nephi", which is the name of the Book of Mormon's first narrator (Smith 1838a, p. 5). Smith's apparent 1838 identification as "Nephi" was left unchanged when the 1838 history was published in 1842 in Times and Seasons, which Smith edited himself (Smith 1842, p. 753), and in Millennial Star (Pratt 1842, p. 53). In the latter, an editorial referred to the 1823 vision and praised "the glorious ministry and message of the angel Nephi" (1842, p. 71). After Smith's death, the identification as "Nephi" was repeated when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints published its first edition of the Pearl of Great Price (Richards 1851, p. 41). It was also repeated in 1853 when Smith's mother Lucy Mack Smith published a history of her son (Smith 1853, p. 79).
As a further complication, Mary Whitmer, mother to one of the Three Witnesses and four of the Eight Witnesses, said she had a vision of the golden plates, shown to her by an angel whom she always called "Brother Nephi" (Whitmer 1888, p. 621), who may or may not have been the same angel to which Smith referred.
Nevertheless, based on Smith's statement that the angel was "Moroni," and based on both prior and later publications, most Latter Day Saints view Smith's 1838 identification of the angel as Nephi as a mistake, perhaps on the part of the transcriber or a later editor.[3] In the version of Smith's 1838 history published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as the portion canonized by that denomination as the Pearl of Great Price, the name "Nephi" has been changed by editors to read "Moroni".[4] The Community of Christ publishes the original story, including the identification of "Nephi", but indicates "Moroni" in a footnote.[citation needed]
Descriptions of the angel Moroni vary. In one of Joseph Smith's histories, he described him as an "angel of light" who "had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen.… His hands were naked and his arms also a little above the wrists.… Not only was his robe exceedingly white but his whole person was glorious beyond description". (Smith 1838) According to Smith's sister Katharine, the angel "was dressed in white raiment, of whiteness beyond anything Joseph had ever seen in his life, and had a girdle about his waist. He saw his hands and wrists, and they were pure and white.(Salisbury 1895, p. 11).
Joseph Smith, Jr. (who would later become the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement) said that on the night of September 21, 1823, Moroni appeared to Smith and told him about the golden plates that were buried (in a stone box) a few miles from Smith's home; visited Smith various times over the course of the next six years; and after Smith translated a portion of the writing on the plates [5] as the Book of Mormon, Smith turned the plates back over to Moroni.[2]
In addition to Joseph Smith, several other early Mormons said they had visions where they saw the angel Moroni. Three Witnesses said they saw the angel in 1829: Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris. Other early Mormons who said they saw Moroni include Emma Hale Smith, Hyrum Smith, Luke S. Johnson, Zera Pulsipher, W. W. Phelps, John P. Greene and his wife Rhoda, John Taylor, Oliver Granger, Heber C. Kimball, Lucy Harris, and Harrison Burgess. Mary Whitmer may also have seen Moroni, although she referred to the angel she saw as "Brother Nephi."
According to the Book of Mormon, Moroni was the son of Mormon, the prophet for whom the Book of Mormon is ostensibly named. He may have been named after Captain Moroni, a much earlier Book of Mormon figure. Before Mormon's death in battle, he passed the golden plates to Moroni. Moroni then finished writing on the plates and concluded his record, presumably burying them in the hill Cumorah in western New York.
Because of his instrumentality in the restoration of the gospel, Moroni is commonly identified by Latter-day Saints as the angel mentioned in Revelation 14:6, "having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
The image of the angel Moroni blowing a trumpet is commonly used as an unofficial symbol of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Moroni appears on the cover of some editions of the Book of Mormon, and statues of the angel stand atop many LDS temples, most statues facing eastward.
In 2007, the LDS Church claimed that an image of the angel Moroni in an advertisement violated one of the church's registered trademarks.[6]
Some scholars have theorized that Smith became familiar with the name "Moroni" through his study of the treasure-hunting stories of Captain William Kidd.[7] Because Kidd was said to have buried treasure in the Comoros islands, and Moroni is the name of the capital city and largest settlement in the Union of the Comoros, it has been suggested[who?] that Smith borrowed the name of the settlement and applied it to the angel who led him to buried treasure—the golden plates. Complementing this proposal is the theory that Smith borrowed the names of the Comoros islands and applied them to the hill where he found the golden plates, which he named Cumorah.[citation needed][8]
Latter-day Saint apologists have reasoned that this line of argument commits the logical error of appeal to probability; they believe that it is unlikely that Smith had access to material which would have referred to the then-small settlement of Moroni.[9] Mormon scholar Hugh Nibley noted the prevalence of names in the Book of Mormon with the root "mor" and suggested that the root may be of Egyptian origin with the meaning of "beloved".[10]

The Nauvoo Temple was the first Latter Day Saint temple to be crowned with a figure of an angel. This angel, not identified with Moroni[citation needed], was a gilded wooden weathervane sculpted by an unknown artist in 1846. This figure was positioned in a flying horizontal position holding an open book in one hand and a trumpet in the other.
Cyrus Dallin sculpted the first angel which was identified as Moroni.[citation needed] This angel was placed on the Salt Lake Temple during the capstone ceremony on April 6, 1892, one year to the day before the temple was dedicated. Dallin's design is a dignified, neoclassical angel in robe and cap, standing upright with a trumpet in hand. It stands 3.8 meters high, was molded in hammered copper from the plaster original, and covered with 22-karat gold leaf.
Torleif S. Knaphus fashioned a replica of the Cyrus Dallin angel in the 1930s, but the casting of his angel was never placed on a temple until many years later. In 1983, castings of this angel were placed on the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple (8th operating temple), and the Atlanta Georgia Temple (21st operating temple).
Millard F. Malin's angel, which was placed on the Los Angeles California Temple in 1953 (dedicated 1956) is known as the second Angel Moroni statue. His angel was cast in aluminum, stands 4.7 meters high and weighs 953 kilograms. It has Native American features, wears a Mayan style cloak and holds the gold plates in its left hand.[citation needed]
Avard Fairbanks sculpted the third Angel Moroni statue which was placed on the Washington D.C. Temple, dedicated in 1974. This angel was created as a one-meter model which was sent to Italy where it was enlarged, cast in bronze, and gilded. The finished statue is 5.5 meters high and weighs over 4,000 pounds (1814 kg). The Seattle Washington, Jordan River Utah, and México City México Temples each have a 4.6 meter casting of this statue.
Karl Quilter sculpted his first Angel Moroni in 1978. Two sizes were made, one 3 meters high, the other just over 2 meters. These statues were designed to reduce the cost and weight of the previous Angel Moroni statues, in order to become a standard part of the temple architecture. These angels are made of fiberglass and covered with gold leaf. In 1998 with the construction of many new smaller temples, Quilter was commissioned to create a new angel. This angel was similar in design to his previous angels, but he gave Moroni a slightly more massive build, with its left hand opened, and the body turned slightly to show more action. The image of the Bern Switzerland Temple's Angel Moroni is from Quilter's 1998 design. Quilter's Angel Moroni is on over one hundred temples around the world.[11]

Appropriations committee budget includes Governor's airplane
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A Nebraska legislative committee has voted to include a $2.2 million airplane in its proposed state budget.
The Appropriations Committee voted 5-3 on Tuesday to make room in the budget to purchase the Beechcraft Super King Air from the University of Nebraska Foundation.
The plane was included in Gov. Dave Heineman's proposed budget to lawmakers. The plane already serves as transportation for the governor, agency heads and other state government officials, but the foundation is selling the aircraft.
Several lawmakers on the committee questioned the need for the airplane in light of other budget priorities. Heineman argued last week that the plane allows him and other state officials to reach rural parts of the state.
The request also includes $300,000 for upgraded avionics and insurance.

Leaps of Love
Make a Move
We all know that moment: You're just about to make the phone call, send the e-mail, introduce yourself to the person across the room. You wince and hesitate -- maybe this isn't such a good idea, maybe you could put it off until tomorrow. But finally, you take a deep breath and say, "Hi, I'm Sara..."
Stress-inducing? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. After all, those little leaps of faith can lead to new friendships, new jobs, new romances. "Of course, the very word 'risk' means there's no guarantee of a payoff," says Judith Sills, PhD, a psychologist and author of The Comfort Trap (Viking, 2004). "But no risks definitely don't pay."
And the great thing about taking small leaps, like striking up a conversation with the person sitting next to you on the plane, is that you get a lot of bang for your buck. "Small risks cost very little, but have a potentially big payoff. You might have a moment of discomfort, but the reward could be a new friendship," says Sills. Here are some little hops into the unknown that could yield big results.

Just as late December brings Christmas, late June brings the annual "release train" from the Eclipse Foundation, and this year's train features the simultaneous release of project upgrades and new projects from 39 project groups.
Featuring more than 33 million lines of code based on the work of 490 developers, the Helios release on Wednesday is the largest ever from the seven-year-old release train series. Highlights include a Linux IDE package, an Eclipse Marketplace Client for accessing open source plug-in software, and improved support for JavaScript and Java Enterprise Edition 6.
[ InfoWorld's Paul Krill reported last week on the upgrades to the rival open source NetBeans platform. ]
"The major reason why we do these release trains is to help spur adoption of Eclipse technologies," said Eclipse Executive Director Mike Milinkovich. Shipping them on the same day makes adoption of the technologies easier, he said. Eclipse technologies can serve as the basis for commercial products that offer value-added capabilities on top of the base Eclipse software.
"The expectation is that the commercial ecosystem will add value on top of the Eclipse platform," Milinkovich said. Companies such as the Rational division of IBM and Instantations offer Eclipse-based tools, he noted.
Helios is Eclipse's response to the latest development trends, said analyst Michael Cote, of RedMonk.
"What I'm seeing here is Eclipse tracking some of the more popular development areas (Git, JavaScript) and filling in holes (like the Linux IDE)," Cote said.
To keep the high volume of Helios technologies from being too much to handle, Eclipse is offering 12 different packages geared to specific interests, such as the new Linux IDE and JavaScript development packages and Java and PHP development packages. The packages bundle Eclipse tools related to technology categories.
The Linux IDE package makes it easier for Eclipse developers to use a tool chain for building C/C++ applications for Linux, Eclipse said. The package features the new Linux Tools project with Eclipse integrations of Linux utilities such as GNU Autools, Valgrind, OProfile and LTTng.
The JavaScript Development Tools project featured in Helios includes a JavaScript debug framework for integrating JavaScript debuggers, such as Rhino and Firebug.
The Eclipse Marketplace Client offers an "app store" experience for installing plug-ins. The client makes it easier to find and install Eclipse software. "What's news is the tighter integration right in the IDE so [that it is] easier for developers find and install the plug-ins," Milinkovich said.
Other features of Helios include:

We all know how bad of a job Jim Lampley and his crew would gulf the b@ll$ of their house fighters but it appeared to me last night that Showtime's crew was had b@ll$ in their jaws from Alvarez. Trout landed punch after punch and though it had little pop on them he still landed but nothing was mentioned when he landed.
Was the Showtime Crew teabagging Canelo and being totally unfair to Trout??
Is there something we (the boxing public) can do to shine some light on this unfairness (if it indeed exists or just a figment of my imagination)?

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany veteran, just released from the hospital one week ago, worries that government red tape from the Veterans Administration will put him back in the hospital.
Willie Ross served in Vietnam with the Marines and is now community organizer.
He says medicine doctors told him to take for congestive heart failure ran out Friday.
The Albany V-A Clinic told him it's on the way, but four days later, Ross wonders if it will come in time.
Ross said "What's going on, after I leave Phoebe, I go back to the VA. It's always confusion. It's always confusion about who am I going to see. The Doctor ain't there. Or the Doctor ain't seeing nobody today. And it's hard to get the medication."
Ross says he and many other South Georgia veterans have been talking with Congressman Sanford Bishop's office about problems with V-A clinics delivering medical treatment to veterans.
We contacted officials at the Carl Vinson V-A Medical Center about Ross' complaints.
They told us the only person who could comment was not in the office Monday.

Road and rescue crews across Alabama are staying weather alert to avoid a repeat of what happened two weeks ago when a winter storm took the state by surprise.
The snow and ice left thousands of people stranded on roadways, stuck at work and separated from their families.
To prepare for this week's winter weather threat, ALDOT has been treating roads in Jefferson County with salt brine since 8:30 a.m. Monday. They will continue to use the brine treatment until temperatures drop below 30 degrees, then will switch to salt, ALDOT spokesman Brian Davis said.
ALDOT officials are encouraging drivers to use the outside truck lane when driving because that will be the lane guaranteed to be treated. It will also have the most traffic and will be the best option for travel, Davis said.
ALDOT crews are pre-treating roads and bridges across the state in anticipation of the wintry weather, Gov. Robert Bentley tweeted Monday afternoon.
Alabama Power have put their crews on standby in case of outages. They have also asked crews in the southern part of the state to be ready for support. They ask that customers call 1-800-888-2726 if they have a power outage.
Hoover police and fire departments are also watching the system very closely. During the late January storm, Hoover police helped rescue at least 100 people stranded on the interstates overnight. This time, they have had more time to prepare for the potential winter weather.
Hoover firefighters say they do not want the interstates to turn into parking lots again. If it does happen, they encourage drivers to try to get out of the way of emergency vehicles.
"If they can move to the right is what the law says and that's what we expect people to do. But in those weather conditions, sometimes you can't move to the right. Just do your best to get out of the way," Rusty Lowe with the Hoover Fire Department said.
Lowe also says to slow down when you see emergency personnel pulled over on the side of the road and recommends staying off the roads if at all possible.
A liquid de-icing truck coated I-65 north between Birmingham and Cullman on Monday morning. Cullman streets were already pre-treated for ice and snow over the weekend.
Cullman's EMA is monitoring the weather every hour. EMA director Phyllis Little is encouraging drivers to delay their commute on Tuesday.
"We're encouraging people once they get home tonight to just stay at home and don't travel unless its necessary travel. Enjoy the nice winter night tonight, delay travel as much as possible in the morning to give roads to at least thaw some and clear," Little said.
Northport Fire Rescue is also preparing for wintry weather conditions.
"All of our apparatus are equipped with chains, most of which are automatic and can be deployed within seconds with the push of a button," Captain Jason Norris said.
Norris says they've also placed an ATV in service and are equipping all units with saws and bags of oil dry for traction.
Tuscaloosa Fire Rescue is storing supplies at Fire Station 1 in case a rapid response is neede somewhere. The trucks are being equipped with water, tow line, MREs, chain saws and other supplies for stranded drivers.
Tuscaloosa's storm support trucks will go into use at midnight, Tuscaloosa Fire Marshal Gene Holcomb said.
The city of Tuscaloosa placed two sand trucks in position for overnight winter weather.
One of the trucks is at the Tuscaloosa Department of Transportation and the other is near Lake Tuscaloosa's Spillway. Instead of sand, they're loaded with a mix of gravel and de-icing material. They will also use infrared thermometers to measure when the road temperatures drop to 32 degrees or lower to determine when it's best to apply the material.
Robin Edgeworth with Tuscaloosa Incident Command says they're prepared in case the weather event lasts for several days.
"We believe that this event is not going to be a one day event. We think we'll probably see this through Wednesday. We'll have off and on changes in weather. We're preparing for this and trying to make certain that our personnel are prepared to respond throughout that three or four day period," Edgeworth said.
There is a winter storm warning in effect for several counties in north-central Alabama from 9 p.m. Monday until midnight on Wednesday. Stay with FOX6 News for updates on the winter storm.

A video is circulating around the web of a law enforcement official apparently using a stun gun on two students.
The incident occurred at LaFayette High School during lunchtime in the courtyard, according to school officials.
In the video, you can hear the official yell "Break it up" and then the unmistakable sound of a stun gun being used.
You can then hear a scream as the girls fall apart.
Walker County Schools superintendent Damon Raines says the student resource officer gave multiple verbal commands before he used the taser to break up the fight.
"We are confident the SRO relied on his training and made the best possible decision considering the safety of both students. The parents of the students were contacted immediately after the incident," says Raines.

Quick Start Guides for Project 333
Phase 2 of minimalist fashion Project 333 starts on January 1st. The following information will be helpful if you are joining in, or continuing your journey of living with less. Take a look at one of the following quick start guides and then get started…quick.
The Basics
- When: January 1 – March 31, 2011 (It's never too late to start so join in anytime!)
- What: 33 items including clothing, accessories, jewelry, outerwear and shoes.
- What not: these items are not counted as part of the 33 items – wedding ring or other sentimental piece of jewelry that you never take off, underwear, sleep wear, in-home lounge wear, and workout clothing (you can only wear your workout clothing to workout)
- How: Choose your 33 items, box up the remainder of your fashion statement, seal it with tape and put it out of site.
- What else: consider that you are creating a wardrobe that you can live, work and play in for three months. Remember that this is not a project in suffering. If your clothes don't fit or are in poor condition, replace them.
Quick Start Guides For Project 333
First Timers
This is for those of you new to Project 333. You may have just heard about it, or perhaps you have been quietly watching others live with less for the past three months and you are ready to jump in.
- Take inventory. I recommend the How to Make Space approach.
- Working with your "I Love" pile of clothing, start to build your wardrobe. It will help to make a list on paper.
- Consider signature items like a trench coat or pair of boots. Your signature item might be your sunglasses. You will find that having one well made version of something will be far better than 10 of the knock-off.
- Once you start dressing with less, pay less attention to what you are wearing, or not wearing and more attention to something more important.
- You are welcome to incorporate some of the Bonus Rules but I highly recommend starting with The Basics – listed above.
- Get connected and ask questions. The Project 333 community is awesome! I've included a few important links below to help.
Starting Phase 2
This is for those of you who have some experience with Project 333. You completed the first three months and really enjoy dressing with less. You may find that you have more time and space and even that you've uncovered your personal style.
- Donate any items from your current collection that haven't been worn.
- Start building your new wardrobe with items in your current collection. What will make the cut for the next 3 months? Consider what will fit the season and what you love to wear.
- Box up whatever is not coming with you for the next three months, and mark the box accordingly so you can consider the same items for next October – December. (or store for Spring if more appropriate).
- Make your new list. You have great experience to build your list. What will you change from the first attempt?
- Stay connected and ask questions. The Project 333 community is awesome! I've included a few important links below to help. Encourage new members and let me know how I can help.
- Take a look at the new Bonus Rules. Love them or leave them.
She's making her list and checking it twice. (Please sing to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
I am starting my new list. It won't be complete until next week but here is where I was and what I'm bringing with me for next three months. I am still on the fence about a few items. On the new site, theproject333.com (coming soon), I will get more specific in terms of what I am actually wearing and how you can find it if you like it.
- Jeans – made the cut but need a size smaller.
- Black Skinny Pants – made the cut.

Other helpful information
- Project 333 is designed for men and women of all ages and lifestyles.
- I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. During Phase 1, I had temperatures ranging from 95 degrees to 15 degrees. This can be done throughout extreme weather variations.
- This is not a project in suffering. If you need to create a version of Project 333 that works better for you, do it.
- People will not notice that you are dressing with the same 33 items for 3 months, although they may notice there is something different about how you present yourself. You will likely get more compliments. That has been my experience and that of others on this journey.

Above all else I always enjoy YOUR list (it is a great guide, actually) and the rundown of who is who and where they are writing about their experiences. Thank you for jumpstarting us again today!
Why can workout clothing only be worn to exercise?
Thanks for this, Courtney! I'm planning to look through my clothes next week. The only thing I'm worried about it that I am currently unemployed, and may have a job by then. But perhaps I just have to be more confident, and people won't care or notice if I wear the same items over and over. (Or, it means I need – and want! – a job where I can wear my everyday clothes.)
Awesome and clear instructions! I am so excited for phase II. I am going to mix my items up pretty significantly, I think, to give some of my other clothing a chance at the spotlight.
I commented on a previous post to say that I was having trouble donating the items I'd boxed up before Phase I – I can proudly say that I took a second, more brutal, pass at the boxes and I am down to about 1/3 of the clothing I had before I started with the 333 challenge. It feels great and I am really thankful, Courtney, for the push this challenge is giving me.
Yippee Yoo E! I am so glad this project speaks to you. Let me know anytime I can help. Can't wait to see your final list!! Please post it back here or on the Facebook Page. Or..if you don't want to do it publicly, email me.
I will probably just break down and join the Facebook page! I promise I will post my list somewhere this time….
I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Do the 33 items need to encompass all seasons? What about gear – biking, skiing, etc. – does that count as workout?
Thanks so much for posting this. I'm gonna join in!
Oh, I so need this project! The piled clothes in my wardrobe are a constant stress. I don't need my work clothes until February though, but I will need to count them- so I'll be working with even less until then. Also, it's unseasonably here in Australia at the moment but will be much hotter in a few weeks-adding another level of difficulty. Love a challenge
The concept of Project333 intrigues me.
Regardless of a minimalist lifestyle or not, it gives you the opportunity to stop and look at all of the excess you have, and how it is possible to "right-size" your wardrobe, in this case, if not your entire life.
With a possible move from SoCal to NY in the next 90 days, this might offer some challenges, but ones I will see if I can manage through.
If I can work this into my life, I will toss it up on my blog and shoot you a link for the list. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm a first timer and will be joining in, actually I may have a bit of a head-start (maybe not, it may surprise me when I actually start counting, you always have more than you think you do) I haven't done an inventory yet, but my closet is a bit bare to say the least. I've been known to borrow the Hubby's underwear due to lack of supplies (I know – gruesome) but it seems it's not counted? I may have to count my wedding ring in the 33 as I rarely wear it now (forget most days) so although not in your guidelines to count, it is something that's removed. I could always scrap it – gold prices are really high at the moment (yes I am joking if the Hubby's reading). Your project will give me the impetus to do the count – which I have been putting off. Robyn wrote a fab post and made me laugh with 'Jeans are for suckers' – I wear two pairs in rotation pretty much all week! Finally (sorry mega long comment) I gave both of you a shout out on my blog yesterday ref this fun and worthwhile project. Jo
Very excited for the new site and to follow you all. I'm gearing up in my own way.
Loving the project. And you are absolutely right, this can be done throughout extreme weather conditions (I'm down to 33 pieces myself and ready for anything – from Danish winters (-12 celcius right now) to the beaches of Thailand (30+ celcius),
Now I'm just crossing my fingers you'll make up more projects like this one, so we can get rid of more unnecessary stuff.
This was a great post! Thanks so much for the quick start guide for us "newbies". Seeing your list is a nice place to start, as well. Really looking forward to January 1!
"This is not a project in suffering." You are an inspiration, Courtney! Wonderful way to help others start off the New Year's. Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season.
I started down sizing my wardrobe about 2 years ago, partly because i never seemed too have anything to wear, that went together and partly because i needed a working wardrobe spending as little money as possible. Now i've found that i've overdone it a little and really need to go shopping and add a couple of things and replace a couple that have worn out. Trying to get my adult daughters to join in the 333 project on the basis of less clothes – less washing and i think its a great idea.
I am so very excited to start phase two! As a woman who used to have enough clothes to fill three closets (I kid you not) and owned over 33 pairs of shoes, it is so freeing to live with less and to finally have control over my wardrobe. Especially seeing as how nowadays I am more concerned with washing cloth diapers than I am with washing tons of clothes I don't need. I learned my lesson last time, however, if you are a mama of a particularly messy baby, you may not want to fill your wardrobe full of beautiful, but dry clean only suits and dresses, not the wisest choice, I must admit ;).
I am thinking of getting my mama group to join me in Project 333 this time around, we'll see how this goes :). Thank you for the constant dose of inspiration sent to my email. I have really been needing it lately, especially when the grandparents refused to listen and sent the darling baby far too many gifts that we now must give away…
In Christ,
Anne Marie
Dear Courtney,
i have a question for you. i am quite intruiged to try out project 333. what is the end result of this project going to be? are we going to continue with 33 items eventually or we will keep rotating the stuff every 3 months or is this just for 3 months and then we decide how to go on from there?
i mean i really want to know what happens next? i hope you understood my question.
hi Courtney, Merry Christmas to you and your readers! I've been following this since Phase I and was telling my kids about it last night. Awesome idea! They pointed out that I should join Phase 2 because I have less than 33 items per season after all our purging (our weather in Manitoba ranges from -40 to 40+ and I'm a wimp so I've been known to wear almost 33 things just to go outside in Dec, Jan,Feb!) I always had tons of stuff, but once I cleared out everything that I loved looking at but never actually wore, surprise! I'm looking forward to doing laundry (can't believe I typed that, lol!) and then sitting down and counting and making a list.
Wow, this is kinda funky! I'm intrigued by this idea of simplifying your life, it seems fun and yet it's for an immense cause, like eating yummy food that's good for you
First time I've been on this website and I like what I'm seeing so far, kudos to you. Look forward to reading more!
I like the idea but not sure if I can do it.
Do we have to count our work uniform clothes, because my work gave me 4 shirts and 3 pairs of pants. They were issued by my job and they do the dry cleaning. Anyway, I only wear them to work, I don't own them, so do I have to count them???
Because if i count them, that means I only have 26 pieces of clothing to choose from
Ok I'm in !!!!
I actually put my box in the closet yesterday so I guess I am starting one day early LOL
Things I am not counting:
Uniforms – i don't own them so why count them??
Wedding Ring
Underwear/Long Underwear
Bracelet – i never take it off, i don't have any tattoos and if I did I wouldn't count them
Workout Clothes
Housecoat – lounging clothes
Old Work Clothes (im getting exercise so I'm counting that as workout stuff) – Have some old pants-shirts-shorts for painting, yardwork, etc
My list is shoes/sandles/boots/some pants/t-shirts/sweaters/belt/sunglasses/gloves/ scarf/wallet/shorts/tank top/jackets and coats/toque/
Good luck everybody and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Hello Courtney, this is Mathilde from the fitness challenge forum! I'm starting phase 1 at 1st of january 2011. I've started to select clothing items and I'm nearly at 33. What about shoes? Are they included in the 33 items? If your answer is yes, I might start suffering…Merry Christmas Courtney
I just read about this project in today's paper and I'm intrigued. It sounds like something I will enjoy doing. I shared it with my college-age granddaughter, but she said, "No way! I have even more clothes on the way that I just bought with my Christmas money!" After our big family dinner today, I'm going to make my list and get started on Phase I. Question: I'm a retired RN and only plan to do occasional PRN work at the hospital. Do I have to include my scrubs in my list of 33? My nursing shoes? Thanks for the inspiration, and Merry Christmas a day late.
I am way behind everyone being that it is December 26th but I have thought of doing this recently and now is the time to start. Off to my closet to find what my 33 items would be. I look forward to coming back to read others posting. I have posted my plan on my blog site and have referred to you and this project.
Definitely looking forward to this. On my list of things to start in my 28-day challenge (http://nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?1322-Justin-s-first-challenge).
So, tonight starts my categorization and start to box things up. I have two things going for me, and one against me. For me, I live in Southern California where I will hardly ever need more than a light jacket. Also, I have a casual work environment, so jeans/tshirts me everyday.
The one thing against me, we have a week long trip to Central New York planned at the beginning of January. Better have some layers for that!
Thanks for the inspiration!
OK, I'm in. Today is the evaluation and list making day. My girls are going to help because they have a much better eye for what goes together. I think because it is blue it matches. (Don't all blues match?) My list will be up on my blog tomorrow (Wednesday 12/29/2010).
I just heard about your project and am going to go for it. I suspect I wear less than 33 items of clothing (I am in a terrible rut), but have so many in my closet that I am not sure. This will bring more thoughtfulness into how I present myself rather than tossing on what ever catching my eye in the morning. Thanks!
I want to join the project. I do have some questions about the list. Sunglasses? I don't consider them clothes. They live in my purse and I wear them when I need them. I have work out clothes, too many I know. I sometimes ride a Vespa (hence my name for posting) for the scoot I have boots, armored jacket and heavier jeans and helmet. I don't think they count as clothes. I'm a nurse (like Betty) I wear hospital provided scrubs so no work clothes, clogs that live at work so I don't think I'll count those.
Too many excuses for adding extra clothes if you ask me. Give it a try with 33 pieces in total, including sunglasses, motorcycle clothes and work clothes. It can be done.
This is EXACTLY what I need right now. I stumbled upon your page via a blog, and immediately decided that I'll be joining the 333 project.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Count me in!
I'm in. I've got my list. I need to add four things to bring it up to 33. I'm in also in SLC, and need swim/ski/snowshoe/bike clothes. I'm considering these 'workout' clothes. I'm also not counting my Buddhist robes (5 pieces) in the 33 total.
Hi Eileen!!!
As I was starting to select the 33 items today, I like that it is a 3 month project. Many of the items removed from my closet were spring/summer items. I will switch out winter for spring at the end of March. I haven't counted yet but I am probably over 33. I will continue to select till I am at 33 and will then post my list.
I'm in w/a variation…20 items for January…I too am in SLC…
Actually…replying to my own post…have decided to go ahead and jump in for the full 3 months…33 items…now if I can just limit my earring selection!!!
Ok so far I will keep my black trench coat, scarf, some jeans, sweaters, shirts, 2skirts, pretty simple. I wear very little jewelry and accessories. Do I count t shirts. I wear them everyday but for me they are like underwear, there is always a button shirt or sweater over them. I am very cold by nature. I wear tights everyday in winter to keep warm. Do these count? I have purged cosmetics a few few months ago and am way below 33. My daily routine is tinted moisturizer and lip balm. I still need to figure out shoes.
I found your website and the Project 333 by way of a couple other blogs I've been reading on minimalism. I've been getting rid of "stuff" for the past two weeks and decided to go for it and join the project! I've been through my closet 3 times just getting rid of clothes – especially the ones I kept saying "Oh, I might wear that this year." Ha!
I am pretty close to having my 33 items and have been experimenting with wearing different items this week to see what's doable. The one thing I am going to "cheat" on are my diamond stud earrings and my cross necklace my husband gave to me when I was baptized. I'm not into accessorizing my outfits, and I never take my necklace and earrings off unless I clean them, so I guess I may be doing the "35 item" challenge. We'll see when I finalize my list tomorrow!
BTW – my husband noticed that I "liked" your FB page the other day and said "You're not going to do THAT are you???" I suspect he thinks I've gone off the deep end with my "house purging" and now the "project"! (His side of the closet has WAY more clothes than mine does!)
Thanks for the inspiriation to simplify my life!!!
Six years ago i weighed 8stone (112 lbs) more then i do now. As i lost weight i bought new clothes but just enough to keep me going. So i didnt have the problem of what to keep and what to share when it comes to clothes because i really dont have that many. In fact when i looked through my things, removed the ones that were too big, too small, and worn out i really didnt have that many left.
So this is my list
green/blue skirt
green sweater
white vest top
long grey skirt
red patterned blouse
grey swing jacket
grey marl skirt
lilac stripped shirt
purple swing cardiagan/jacket
blue trousers
brown cord trousers
purple top
purple tunic
white long sleeve top
white short sleeved t-shirt
blue jumper
white vest top
purple winter coat
purple tights
black shoes with heels
lilac shawl
stripped scarf
hat and gloves
So thats 26 and thats all i have.
I've taken out the following brown sweater (too big), blue sweater (too big) cream sweater (has holes), light green swing coat (doesnt fit, been waiting 3 yrs), grey t-shirt (gone baggy)
Need to add
grey/black dress pants
white shirt
jean/cord skirt
jeans (mine have worn out and split :))
flat shoes – bought these
red sweater
brown sweater – replacement
cream sweater – replacement
that would bring it to 33
Things not included
sports wear
workwear – uniform
jewellery – i have 4 pairs of earrings and 2 necklaces
Was hoping to buy these things before the project re-started on the 1st Jan but ive been ill in bed for 3 weeks and have struggled to make it through christmas. However that said, i will endeavour to get them before the end of january.
Hi Courtney, I'll post my cosmetics list later. I had a real good time reading your post about cosmetics :)! It gave me the idea to reduce mine, because 33 seemed easier to me with cosmetics than with clothes. I'm not as addict to it as you seem to be, but my two elder sisters have even more than you, bathroom full. I can't figure out how much money they've spent on it in their life… at least a new car-worth I guess.
Did you post this at 3:33 am on purpose???
No it wasn't on purpose at all, for it wasn't 3:33 am in France at all!!
I guess this is a sign, just before New Year, that I definitely HAVE to join the project…
Well I put my cosmetic list twice in a comment but it doesn't work, it seems…maaybe it was too long?
I created a blog: http://simplify-me.overblog.com
there a page called "liste de mes cosmétiques" where you can find my cosmetic list both in french and english.
I will soon add my clothes list there. But I confess I'm not including shoes and jewels. Although I have less than 10 items of each categorie, it would be like taking both my arms away if I had to include them. Not possible. But I decided not to buy a new pair of boots, which is already a great decision for me.
I've cut down wy ward robe by half and It increases my inner peace level A LOT! The effect is amazing, really.
Hope I can make the trip with you all even if I'm not following the rule strictly
I counted tights into my 33 things, which means I am left with 31 items. Honestly, I have everything figured out so perfectly that I cannot bear another moment of doubt. I guess I'm going to cheat and leave 2 spots open. I doubt I will need to fill those spots unless there is going to be a big turn in my life. Yes, that's what I am going to do, I will leave 2 spots for an upcoming opportunity because this year is going to be a year of optimism and major life changes = )
I noticed majority of people whose lists I have read so far are in their 30s or older.
So for a change, I decided to post mine. A little background info: I'm an 18 year old college student, and I live in Pennsylvania. So here's my list:
long black coat
royal blue pea coat
white puffer coat
black straight leg velvet pants
black skinny velvet pants
navy straight leg ripped jeans
light blue skinny jeans
navy knee length skirt
blue knee length dress
grey long sleeve top
grey/white striped long sleeve top
black long sleeve turtle neck top
grey long sleeve turtle neck sweater
blue London sweater
grey button down shirt
white button down shirt
white hoodie
white/blue striped t-shirt
3 white tanks
black suede high heel boots
mushroom (kinda greenish) suede high heel ankle boots
UGG boots = ))
light blue cashmere hat + scarf + gloves
brown with blue flowers belt
diamond studs
black tote
grey/white backpack
P.S. I have my make up down to 2 items: mascara and lip balm.
here is my cosmetics list:
I don't count the basics: shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste
1- daycream for the face
2- body cream
3- foundation
4- foundation brush
5- blush
6- blush brush
7- mascara 1
8- mascara 2
9- eyeshadow 1
10- eyeshadow 2
11- eyeshadow 3
12- eyeshadow 4
13- lipstick 1
14- lipstick 2
15- lipstick 3
16- lipstick 4
17- lipstick 5
18- hand cream
19- hair conditioner
20- glossy hair cream
21- tweezers
22- dental floss
23- mouthwash
24- face cleaning brush
25- make up remover
26- cotton wool pads
27- nail base
28- nail varnish 1
29- nail varnish 2
30- nail varnish remover
31- nail cutter
32- hair elastic band(s)
33- hair pins (or holders or something)
Okay, I confess, I still have 3 body cream bottles, 2 day cream tubes, 3 hair cream tubes, 3 shampoos, and 2 hair onditioners. But I'm not going to throw them away! I use them, and then I'll stick to one piece of each. And I could very well do with 2 lipsticks, one mascara, and 2 eyeshadows.
One thing is sure, I'm not going to buy ANYTHING in the next three month, and that already means saving money!
I've got my Phase II list all worked out and have boxed up almost everything else – still doing some laundry and some of those things will get boxed up when clean. I am hoping that I will have time today or tomorrow to take photos of the 33 things and post those.
Bev, congrats on your weight loss! I have been working to lose weight – I'm down 20 pounds and have 20 more to go. I think technically, your earrings and necklaces do count in the 33 items, so I think you are up to 32 things?

1. Black slacks
2. Cream corduroy pants

31. Gold cross Necklace
32. Diamond stud earrings
33. Open for last minute decision
Day 1 of the phase 2 333 project and what happens – my jeans split haha and yes i will be replacing them. Poor jeans, well they were about 2 yrs old but very comfortable
If any one is baffled where to start I found and article on the website for Real Simple magazine. It is titled Essentials of a Well Balanced Wardrobe. It has helped me weed out and have enough pieces to stay appropriately dressed.
I think the make-up thingy is very funny – sorry!
i think my make-up is not really make-up so i dont know what to call them but they are like my clothes – minimal, but i do have my favourites
face wipes
shower gel – lemon or citrus
body butter
oats and honey face scrub
but i think thats it – wouldnt quite make it into miss world
I'm a fairly new recruit to the clothing project but already it's stopping me shopping – I consider my 33 to be enough and I love the new space in my wardrobe. I'd like to expand it to other areas but i'm not quite sure how it would work for books, for example. Any suggestions?
Just joined the Project 333 challenge (a little late, admittedly – I'm starting it just at the beginning of our spring semester of classes) and wrote my first post about it. Deciding what to include was harder than I expected, but I found your lists and guidelines helpful! Thanks!
I am here to report on my experience with Project 333! I am not having a bit of trouble with this! I am a 46 year old homeschooling mom who only goes out of the house 2-3 times a week. I love the way the project has helped me pare down my wardrobe. I am so gonna stick with having fewer clothes. I did include workout clothes in my list because of my situation. That would have made it too easy. I probably INcluded too many dressy "going out" clothes but hey, just because I am "at home" doesn't mean I am a total frump!:0 I am enjoying your comments everyone!
I tried accessing the bonus rules and it said page not found. Any chance of putting them back up?
Would scrubs count as apart of my 33?

WASHINGTON — A year ago, when Vice President Joe Biden revealed in a television interview that he supported same-sex marriage, such unions were legal in six states.
Tuesday, the Legislature in Biden's home state, Delaware, voted to become the 11th such state, part of a rapid shift on the issue that is making same-sex marriage the norm in liberal parts of the country. The Delaware Senate approved the marriage bill, 12-9, sending it to Gov. Jack Markell, who has championed the measure.
Delaware's action, combined with Rhode Island's passage of a similar law last week, means that same-sex marriage is now legal in most of the Northeast, from Maine through Maryland, with the notable exceptions of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where Gov. Chris Christie, the state's Republican chief executive, has blocked a marriage bill passed by the Legislature.
The legislative battles on the issue are now moving to the Midwest, where the Minnesota House is expected to vote on a marriage bill later this week. The outcome there hinges on a few legislators, mostly members of the state's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party representing rural parts of the state, who have not yet revealed their positions. Opponents have publicly said, however, they are losing ground.
Gay rights supporters are "hopeful" about the Minnesota outcome, said Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, one of the chief advocacy groups on the issue.
With the AP leading the cheers, how can it fail??
I see that mental acumen may be lacking in a few states. Normal is now in a clash with political correctness. Political correctness parameters are being defined by a sliver of the population. Like any sliver within the body this will continue to fester as they clash with the majority.

This Week by POPSUGAR Food 10/14/11 0 Reactions 10 Shares Print 0 1 9 0 0 In some ways, sipping the world's wines can be a hopeless endeavor; there's so much wine out there that we could sample wine all day long and still get nowhere near tasting everything. That doesn't mean we won't try! From a French Côtes du Rhone Blanc to a New Zealand late-harvest Riesling, here are five memorable wines we quaffed this week, and why we loved them. 2008 Chapoutier "Belleruche" Côtes du Rhone Blanc What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "In French, Côtes du Rhône translates to 'slopes of the Rhone,' and if you're not too familiar with the wines of that region, this M. Chapoutier is a fine example. A blend of lesser-known grapes like Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, the Belleruche conjures images of pears and peaches, with a crisp slate finish." — Susannah Chen, associate editor 1 / 5 2009 Markham Chardonnay What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Markham Vineyards is probably my favorite winery in Napa Valley. Known for its buttery Chardonnays, this 2009 varietal takes a slight detour and is crisper. With flavors like tart apple and toasted hazelnut, this is a great appetizer wine that pairs perfectly with cheese or a Waldorf salad." — Anna Monette Roberts, editorial assistant 2 / 5 2009 Altovinum Evodia Garnacha What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I was initially captivated by this wine label, which has no vintage, region, or varietal on the front — just its name. But after trying it and enjoying its dark cherry and cocoa notes, I'm even more impressed by its ridiculous, under $12 price tag." — Susannah Chen, associate editor 3 / 5 2005 Cloudy Bay Late Harvest Riesling What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is the dessert wine for people who don't like dessert wines. Rather than sticky-sweet, this late harvest Riesling from New Zealand has an invigorating citrus flavor with a touch of clove. We had it in place of dessert with a plate of strong cheese and quince paste, making for one of the happiest meal endings I've enjoyed in a while." — Nancy Einhart, executive editor 4 / 5 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin Vintage 2009 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "When you think Northern California wines, your mind probably wanders to Sonoma or Napa, but I've found that the Zinfandels produced in Lodi make unexpected gems. I've had my share of yummy red Zins, but for the price, none compare to Gnarly Head's Vintage 2009 Old Vine Zin.

Care and feeding of disk space on Linux
Cleaning House
You wouldn't believe how much of the disk space on your system is wasted, filled with duplicate files, or cruft you don't need.
The sad fact is, no matter how much disk space you have, it starts filling up pretty quickly with unnecessary junk. And necessary junk. A few thousand MP3s, lots of work documents, some movies you've downloaded (legally, of course) or ripped for watching on that lovely new tablet you picked up … . Pretty soon that vast expanse of empty bit-bucket has been given over to monstrous amounts of data. How does that happen?
The fact is, it's not all your fault. A lot of stuff happens behind the scenes. Programs cache data and suck up disk space without your noticing. Logfiles grow and grow. And you contribute too, of course, saving everything because you might just need it "someday."

RB is today announcing a number of important changes to the company and its strategy to fuel another decade of market outperformance and attractive shareholder returns.
Outlining the strategy, Rakesh Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer, said, "RB has delivered a decade of superior growth and shareholder value. However, with slower market growth and increased competition, we need to reshape our strategy to enable us to continue our track record of outperformance. We believe we can make a real difference by giving people innovative solutions for healthier lives and happier homes. We will therefore be intensifying our investment behind our brands in the higher growth, higher margin categories of health and hygiene. In addition to our highly successful "Powerbrand" strategy, we have identified 16 "Powermarkets" for increased focus and investment, most of which are in emerging markets. "This new category and geographic focus will be driven by a new organisation structure. We are creating two new Area organisations in emerging markets, instead of one. Additionally, we will merge the European and North American area organisations to form one Area. This will enable us to increase the speed, quality and consistency of our in-market execution and to drive cost savings. "RB's relentless focus on building brands will continue. We will be increasing our investments in high rates of innovation and brand equity building. We aim to deliver steady operating margin* expansion. We will continue to be highly effective at converting profit into cash. I have set 3 medium term key performance indicators to monitor our progress on our strategy. "2012 will be a year of transition and investment, but still we are targeting total Company net revenue growth (ex RBP) of 200 basis points above our market growth. Our global market is expected to grow at 1-2%. While 2012 will be a year of investment, we are targeting to maintain our operating margins (ex RBP) in the year. I believe that generic versions to Suboxone tablets are a matter of when and not if, so it is impractical to set targets for RBP this year. "I firmly believe that our strong company culture of outperformance, entrepreneurship and innovation will enable us to fulfill the enormous potential of our brands and deliver on our vision and reshaped business strategy." THE CHANGES IN BRIEF 1. NEW CATEGORY FOCUS "Core" business:
Reported separately (not "Core") Food RB Pharmaceuticals 2. NEW GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS LAPAC is the name of this reporting Area, comprising:
In 2011 LAPAC had sales of £2,210m representing 26% of core business NR RUMEA is the name of this reporting Area, comprising:
In 2011 RUMEA had sales of £1,364m representing 16% of core business NR ENA is the name of this reporting Area, comprising:
In 2011 ENA had sales of £4,837m representing 58% of core business NR 3. MARGIN EXPANSION STRATEGY We are undertaking a number of initiatives to fuel reinvestment into brand equity and deliver operating margin* expansion:
4. MEDIUM TERM KPIs AND 2012 TARGETS All the targets are for total Company excluding RB Pharmaceuticals (RBP). 2012 Targets
Medium Term (5-year) Key Performance Indicators
5. RESTRUCTURING COSTS A one-off cost in the order of £75m will be incurred in 2012 to implement the new strategy. These costs are for implementing the new Area and category organisations, refocusing resources, and making some supply chain and manufacturing enhancements. This charge will be in addition to the remainder of the one-off restructuring charges of £50m relating to the SSL acquisition and integration due to be charged in 2012. All of these charges will be treated as exceptional and excluded from adjusted profits and earnings. The restructuring in ENA is expected to deliver £30m in annual savings from 2013. 6. REPORTING, NEW MEASURES AND SHARE REPURCHASE RB will move to reporting Interim Management Statements (IMS) in Q1 and Q3, commencing in 2012, in common with most listed UK companies. Half year and full year reporting will continue as current. A number of new, or redefined measures, will be reported to monitor RB's progress.
Geographical analysis will be on the new Area structure (ENA, LAPAC, RUMEA). Category analysis will be on the new "core" category structure of Health, Hygiene, Home and Portfolio brands. RB Food and RB Pharmaceuticals will be reported as separate business streams. Share Repurchase: RB will undertake a programme of share repurchase into 2012 of up to 15 million shares, primarily to offset the dilutive impact of employee share schemes. This strategic announcement is also covered by a full presentation from management, which is webcast live and which will be available on our website from 9 February.

Hero (1 of 4), 2011,3.5"H x 4"W x 7.75"D, wood, latex and acrylic paint, plasti-dip, silicon, nail lacquer
Taking inspiration from the hearty fare of Bushwick's bodegas, Hero combines natural elements from the fallen branches of Maria Hernandez Park with a variety of synthetic materials available at the local Hardware store, which caters more each day to Bushwick's growing artist community, however slowly. "Meat", "cheese", and "lettuce" for this hoagie were crafted from strips and slaps of paint and plasti-dip. "Tomatoes" were carved from birch slices, and the "hero bread" itself was chainsaw carved. Hero is a tribute to rising from the ashes, borne from branches deemed unfit by the New York Department of Parks and Recreation, and reflecting the grandeur of Bushwick's prodigious Boar's Head factory.

Normandy by Eurostar
based on:
St Pancras 4th Apr 2015
Request Callback
5 Days - Escorted Tour
Enjoy the delights of rural France, seeing the medieval town of Rouen and the world-famous Bayeux Tapestry
For a short break with a difference, Normandy is hard to beat. Normandy is lush and green, with tiny fields and half-timbered buildings. Indeed the area's other name is 'Cider and Cream Country'. The history of Normandy is so intertwined with our own. You will see echoes of Joan of Arc, the D-Day landings, Richard the Lionheart and of course the most famous of all, William the Conqueror. Everything in Normandy seems vaguely familiar. This is hardly surprising really as not only is so much of our heritage shared, the same Vikings who visited Normandy also visited Britain. In fact the present day Normans seem to have more in common with us, than they do with the rest of the French, so there is no doubt you will be made to feel at home.
Rouen, Bayeux, Honfleur, Fécamp, Arromanches; some of the names you'll know, and some of them you may not, but that's the beauty of Normandy, its sheer variety.
Holiday Highlights
- Guided historic walk of Rouen, one of France's most perfectly preserved medieval cities
- Visit to Bénédictine Palace, home of the famous liqueur
- Visit to the historic Bayeux Tapestry
- Visit to Arromanches and WWII D-Day beaches
- Visit to delightful Honfleur, one of France's most beguiling medieval ports
- Escorted by our experienced tour manager
What's Included
- Return rail connections on selected dates from over thirty regional stations
- Return standard-class reserved seat on Eurostar to Paris, journey time approximately 2 hours 15 minutes
- Four nights' bed-and-breakfast in a three-star superior or four-star hotel, centrally located close to the old town of Rouen

Makeup: James Kaliardos for NARS
Hair, Odile Gilbert for Kérastase
Nails, Deborah Lippmann for Deborah Lippmann
MAKEUP: Kate and Laura Mulleavy's spring collection was a meditation on the work of Vincent van Gogh. It's little surprise then that makeup artist James Kaliardos' rounded midnight-blue lids seemed plucked from the landscape of the painter's Starry Night. For lips and cheeks, he drew from a post-Impressionist palette of soft peaches and lavenders instead. "It's dreamy and aggressive, all in the same moment," he said.
HAIR: "Sweet sixteen!" proclaimed hairstylist Odile Gilbert from the light-filled backstage area, located across the street from Rodarte's show space at the Pace Gallery. Indeed, the soft, brushed-out waves she created—rolled and pinned neatly just to one side of the face—conjured the fleeting innocence of girlhood birthday parties and 1950s Sadie Hawkins dances.
EYES: To create an inky, saturated cloud of color around the eye, Kaliardos blended a pair of highly pigmented cobalt and teal pigments together (NARS eye shadows in Night Flight and Tropic, respectively) before swirling them around the eye with a brush. "The shape is circular, which is very van Gogh, and soft around the edges," he said.
CHEEKS: Models rushing into the backstage area were already amply flushed from sprinting three flights up to the balmy backstage area. The makeup artist tweaked their rosy-cheeked glow to a subtle shade of peach, instead, using NARS Penny Lane blush from the apples of the cheeks all the way to temples.
LIPS: Kaliardos' muted lavender lips were a study in color theory: He patted the same peach-toned cream blush onto the lips, then dabbed a shimmering mauve cream shadow (NARS Eye Shadow in Pearl Beach) on top before finishing with a sheer dab of grape-colored gloss (NARS Lip Gloss in Nana).
HAIR: "It's very . . . soft," said Gilbert, emphasizing the word as she worked Kérastase Volumactive mousse through the hair, and then blew it smooth. After adding a hint of wave with a wide-barrel curling iron, she brushed it all out to create a fluffy "cloud" effect. To finish, she twisted the hair back off the face into a roll, creating a slightly retro ridge at the crown before pinning it into place with a hidden hair comb.
NAILS: Models' sapphire-colored fingertips twinkled subtly in the light—thanks to Lippmann's glitter-flecked formula. "We started working on the nails weeks ago," said the manicurist, who spiked her existing Lady Sings The Blues polish with an extra dose of flashing silver and graphite flakes at the Mulleavys' request. For toes, to keep things focused on those silver-mirror abstract-star sandals, she used a flesh-toned neutral. "It's just an extension of the skin," she said.
SISTER ACTS: While the Mulleavys prepped models backstage, Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, Dakota and Elle Fanning, and the Courtin-Clarins girls found their front-row seats. Other followers from the cult of Rodarte who braved the steamy show space: Taylor Swift, Joanna Newsom, and Rooney Mara.

Accidental collisions involving large animals such as deer draw the most attention, but other accidents regularly occur as drivers swerve to avoid smaller animals such as squirrels, raccoons and even dogs and cats.
Tips to reduce the likelihood of an accident:
- Where there is one deer, there are likely others. If you see an animal crossing the road, slow down and remain alert for more.
- Be particularly alert for wildlife on roads at dawn and at dusk.
- Most animal-vehicle collisions occur on two-lane roads bordered by natural habitat. Be cautious in these areas.
- Do not toss trash out of car windows. Beyond polluting the environment, trash attracts wildlife to the roads and therefore leads to an increase in collisions.

"sexy , steamy, Sam"
yes, but I buy as much of natalie ross recordings as I can. This is fast pace for a paranormal book. Our hero is just so on for a core romance book. This is not mushy, but if you do not like steamy, then this is not for you.
Cherie Priest 2 books that N. Ross reads. This has more steamy scenes .
Hero voice is always spot on. Hunky as all get out. Ms Ross can do the inner voice of our heroine so well, witty. This is Ms. Ross best type of reads. Next to the late Anna Fields, Ms Ross has the best male sexy voice. Then comes Ms Gabra Zackman.
I can only hope Mis Delilah Devlin has more books of this fast pace and steamy reads.
Ms Ross brings out the best in this read.
yes, when Sam, realizes he did not even know his ex wife.
"Whoa Baby"
Fun, sexy, cleaver. You have to like fun short listens that are related by cleaver dialogue . These are not wordy. In fact, you must like filling in the blanks.
Short stories, Katie Reus are a fun listen. Erin Mallon is the reader aka Hollie Jackson
This is my first HJ listen, but this reader has many AKA names, which I own. HJ reads seem to have a faster pace than her Sophie Eastlake reads. I love her Erin Mallon reads as they are a real fast pace. I am going to check out HJ reads as this book was WONDERFUL and HJ made the boys really come to life. I have come to appreciate her talent. Her Aussie Accent is great, Playing the Part.
Yes as it is a quick, fun, and make you feel good book. This author is closer to erotica, but she knows how to tame it down with humor
Beware this has strong language and erotic scenes that are really hot. This is not a tame listen. Enjoy
"Soap Opera, Awful"
I listened to Sandra Brown, Mean Steak and wanted another read from reader. This author is just not for me. After 3 hrs, I just had to stop. If the pace was twice as fast, it could MAYBE have saved this read.
I am trying to find another good author by this reader.
Not sure why J.D. read this work so slow. It was a waste of his great talent. Mean Streak was so fast pace, that I listened to it straight through. Some author's may tell reader what they want in the read. If so, slow is just not doing it.
I am not a fair judge of this author as this is not my genre.
"Snake Mean"
Oh yes! If you are a long time fan of S.B.,like I am, then you will love her new adventure. If you are new to S.B., then you need to read reviews. She writes a light mystery with romance, and make no mistake, the small bit of romance can be hot in some of her reads. No one writes a few hot scenes, better than S.B. This one has some hot ones, Oh boy! These are not FSOG type listens.
S.B. can write with multiple character scenarios going on, so if you do not like following that type of writing, then beware, this has it. For a long time fan, this was well done, and up there in top 5.
Oh my, how yummy he reads this story! The pace was wonderfully fast, and it made the time fly by and engrossed you in the story. I just did not want it to end. Reader has a list of books, most in the full credit range, so you know his value. S.B. got him on a bargain on this read. I love romance and I can only hope audible, has this reader do more. His female voice is very good, and most males readers can not pull it off. His male voice is too die for and can make your toes curl during the hot scenes.
S.B. books can leave you with a lasting impression that makes you want to re listen when time permits. She was a core romance writer before going main stream, hence the few hot scenes can be as erotic as all get out. She knows how to make the hero as sexy as can be in just a few words.
if you enjoy this book, then try witness, white hot my fave, and smoke screen. Chill factor has some of of this read same element, but it is still very different. Sandra, well done on this one!
"Beware: Soap Opera Pace"
different reader with a faster pace
I purchased quite a few all at once and most are very good. A couple are just too slow of a listen due to reader's pace
Susan Bennett or S. El Attar would be better. I do not like Nicole Poole either for this series.
I had to stop
other stories were better
"Enough Already"
Well, after hearing Only Pleasure for the 50th time in the first 2 hrs on rapid speed, I just had to stop. Yes, L.L. can write a hot story and I wanted to hear Kalid's interest, but gads enough already and do some good writing!
this had the potential for a good story, but I am done w/ L.L. stories! Burned once too often
ABSOLUTELY NOT! She is awful for me. I thought I could tolerate her one more time as I wanted to listen to this book, however, she is over the top for me. I had to speed up the listen as she is just too slow and breathy for me.
I had to stop!
"Not "Wolf & The Dove""
the author had a great outline, but she could not decide to make this a historical mystery or
or a romance. It started out good, but the author just does not have the McNaught, Garwood or K.W. gift of a great historical.
Absolutely not! Audible has not gotten the all time best from Kathleen Weidowess, and Judith McNaught. Since these are not available, I thought I would give this author a try based on description.
A waste of my valuable listening time. This could have been cut down to 6 hrs.
great male voice to be sure. not so good on female. He should be paired with a good female read.
no, not the way it was edited. This had so much potential.
"Cupcakes or Muffin?"
This ranks high up there. If you like this one try Jill Shalvis, Rumor has it. This story is one of the best of the 9 books, I purchased all at once.
Sam and Connor's dialogue. It will make you bark laughter out loud. Not all of the R.G. readers did this. I did not like Emma Bates. Susan Bennett was good and K.Early was too.
She is one of the best of R.G. books readers. yes, she miss pronounced Savage, but she more than made up for it in getting the designer names correct! She brought both Sam and Connor to big screen life. Kathe, made good use of the R.G. dialogue and made for a good sexy and LOL listen. She will not disappoint YOU
Gads, this would make a fun and sexy movie, Cupcakes or Muffin
I did put this reader on my to buy list, she is that good. Audible, put her on humor or sassy dialogue reads, please.
"Read More Reviews"
yes, all the cursing from the heroine took away from a good listen. I own a lot of bad boy books I purchased, but this author is not for me. I read the top 5 reviews and purchased since I love a good Irish or Scottish story, but I am at ch. 6 and had to stop! Another reviewer, maybe 10 down said if over 30, you may have issues with listening. Yup!
The author may have a good story to tell, but the heroine does nothing but act like a spoiled girl who curses unnecessarily. Good writing can tell a story without this much bad language. I listened to a couple of bad boy biker stories, and yes, every sentence had bad language, but that was expected for the genre.
A good editor would have told ms Young to use either humor or more wit instead of foul language so much. Nothing wrong with cursing if it adds to the picture.
I can not stand this reader female voice. Her male voice is good, which was why I lasted to ch. 6. Her Irish voice is good but, I had to stop as her American voice was such a turn off for me. I have tons of books to be listened to and just did not want to put up with the lead female character or voice.
Just a bit better editing, and more humor and sassy dialogue. This author is on the right track.
"Make the Winning Choice"
I like Audio over print.
This is my first P.W. listen. She had a good outline and story to tell. However, this story is not my taste for heroines. I like strong women who know how to make a choice. If you like stories where the heroine is trying to find her path, then this is for you. Our hero is a man trying to re define his life and author portrays his story well. Too much indecision on the part of our heroine for me. Ms Wilton, get a better editor. A good editor could help you reach your full potential as you have a good imagination/story to tell.
I am not a fan of this reader. Her male voice is her only redeeming quality for me. Reader followed the author's read very well, she is just not my taste for lot of books to own.
Several, which is why this book could have used a bit better editing to be great. When Sam our hero dog helps in two fights. When our hero tries to go out to buy coffee on his own. Ms Wilton, you have what it takes.
I purchased as this was a story about a blind person trying to over come. The cost is good so give this book a try. I did enjoy the parts when the heroine is strong and direct.
""Sue Me""
yes, I did listen twice, as I missed some good parts the first time. S.B. writes a mystery, so you can miss some clues if you are multi-tasking.
yes, as this has a bit of a thriller in the story.
Victor Slezak and S.B. books are an automatic download for me. I own all of this reads on downloads/MP3 of Ms Browns. He is the best of the SB readers. I just wish Audible would get White Hot in full length. This is my all time fave of SB with Victor stealing the show!
yes, and that is why I missed some clues.
Check out V.S. reads of S.B. You will not be disappointed.
