Italy Perfect Winner of Trip Advisor-FlipKey's Award of Excellence 2011, 2012, 2013. Conde Nast Traveler Expert Specialist. Travel & Leisure Magazine Italy All-Star 2013. BBB A+
Appreciate real Florentine living in the typical neighborhood of San Frediano with the special feature of a quiet terrace and garden, a rare situation in central Florence.
San Frediano is a village within the city of Florence. Inside the ancient city walls, the neighborhood has served the city with craftsmen for centuries. You'll see examples even on your street. This neighborhood is know for its restaurants. It is a few blocks outside the most popular tourist neighborhoods so you will experience local 'village' life without tour groups passing through. the Quercia building dates from the 1500s.
Quercia is located in a narrow building with grey 'pietra serena' stone doorway. On the ground floor and in the back of the building, there are no steps to reach the apartment. Because the apartment is at the back of the building, it is quiet.
Railroad-style layout, a long hall connects the bedrooms to the living/dining room and terrace beyond. Ancient masonry is exposed on part of the hall wall, together with the vaulted brick ceiling in the first bedroom, the typical Tuscan floor tiles and kitchen evoke the echo of centuries of Florentine and Tuscan history.
Air conditioning in living room and bedrooms.
The heart of the home is a the 'great room' with open kitchen, dining room and modern sofas organized in an L shape, allowing all guests to sit comfortably. Light flows into from the terrace and garden just outside the living room. In warm weather, about 6 months of the year, the terrace forms an outdoor living room. It has table and chairs for dining and even lounge chairs for, well, lounging. And, it has screens, a very unusual thing in Italy.
The living room also has the television with only local Italian channels, wifi router, and air conditioner. The bedrooms are also air conditioned.
Very nice pieces of original, local art are found throughout the apartment.
The compact kitchen has everything needed with full sized refrigerator, gas stove-top, oven, microwave, dishwasher and drip coffee maker.
Moving from the living room towards the entrance you find the master bedroom with queen sized bed, wall of closets and ensuite bath with shower cabinet. The bathroom has heated towel racks, so nice in cool weather.
Between the master bedroom and the twin bedroom, there is an internal patio with a wall of windows that brings in light and good also for bicycle parking. this is where the washing machine is located.
The twin bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with shower. In this room there can be one bed or a second bed can be pulled out from under the first. New, thick mattresses. The twin bedroom has a high, vaulted masonry ceiling that probably harks to a time when this ground floor was a stable.

This apartment is offered by Italy Perfect. We are a family business with a mission! We want you to love visiting Italy as much as we do. We are sisters Lisa and Pat Byrne who lived in Italy in our youth and now travel there frequently for business and pleasure.
Pat purchased this apartment in 2000
A friend and I stayed at the Quercia apartment in Oct/ Nov. It was all that was advertised...charming, relaxing and well appointed. The location is away from the maddening crowds, but within easy distance to all the necessary shops. The walk to and from city center kept us from weight gain despite pasta, wine and gelato over indulgence. The greeter was lovely and helpful. WiFi was a plus. I so appreciate the professionalism of Italy Perfect
This apartment was the perfect choice for our family of 4. Quiet street close to center of city. Super clean, modern, well furnished. Second bedroom a bit small but plenty of room in living room. Great outdoor patio. The local rep Veronica was incredibly helpful and nice.
Deciding to spend all of a ten-day holiday in one city led us two old friends to choose an apartment, rather than a hotel, in Florence. What a great decision! This apartment was perfect for two; two bdrms and baths , ground floor and fully equipped with kitchen supplies. A charming garden in the back is delightful - there were mosquitoes though so a glass of wine at dusk was not a great idea. It is so quiet in the neighborhood, not even a Vespa on the street at night. The building, however, is noisy in the evening. The upstairs family is loud, teenagers, I'd guess, and their voices carry! All shuts down, however, at about 9:30. so no big deal for us.
The neighborhood is very authentic and there is an early 14th century city gate just around the corner, along with a good piece of the original city wall. There is a lovely little restaurant at the end of the block - Il Guscio - that became our default feeding-station and groceries are available not too many blocks away. I would choose this site again, in a heartbeat, and I would certainly use ItalyPerfect. The orienting materials that were furnished ahead of the trip were excellent and covered all the bases. Grazie!!
My husband and I spent a week at the beautiful Quercia apartment last month, and had a wonderful time - thank you!
No wonder this place won the Award of Excellence for 3 years consecutively. The apartment is nicely situated near restaurants and tourist spots and the descriptions and photos are spot on. It really is wonderful and with the terrace and garden, it's a perfect hideaway in the middle of the city. Everything we needed and could ever ask for was provided. The apartment, though not spacious, is charmingly and comfortably furnished with all the trappings of modern life. It's also very quiet and restful, a rare deal indeed in a spot flocked with tourists. Host is charming as well. Would definitely recommend this apartment.
As their name implies, out stay with Italy Perfect was just that. The Quercia apartment was very well appointed, comfortable and spacious (it was just me and my 75 year old) mother. It is a little far from the historical center which was fine with me but meant a bit more walking. Our greeter was on time, professional and sweet. Would definitely use Italy Perfect again.
We loved this apartment! It was even nicer than pictures convey and very well appointed and welcoming! The location is fantastic as it is in a real neighborhood with 2 outstnding restaurants just down the block (Trattoria del'Oro and il Guscio). The outdoor patio was wonderful and provided a quiet oasis after a busy day in a busy town with lots of tourists. Loved this rental experience and would definitely rent again. The only downside would be if you are a large person, the bathrooms may be an issue as they are very small.

Since then, one club has joined the roster (The Rock), and one dollar has been added to the cover charge, and it still seems like a good idea. OK, maybe every spot doesn't have something you want to hear -- The Rock, we're looking in your direction -- but, hey, you'd be paying at least $5 or $6 to get into one club anyway, so it's not like the plan is taking money out of anyone's pockets except for a few club owners'. And since it was their idea in the first place, and since people who spend less on admission spend more on liquor, no one really loses. Well, that isn't entirely true. After all, less cash at the door means less cash in bands' pockets, but musicians have never been that important, right? (Save your letters -- that was sarcasm.)
As Deep Ellum's First Friday celebrates its one-year anniversary on September 3, the plan appears to have worked, at least as far as the clubs are concerned. "It seems like it's gotten people into the neighborhood that aren't generally in the neighborhood, which is always a bonus to the clubs, and the bands as well," says Scott Beggs, Trees' manager. "I think it's been really beneficial to some bands, as far as exposing them to new crowds and helping them build up their fan base, as well as getting people who aren't normally down here more acquainted with the clubs and everything."
Bands include The Adventures of Jet, Chomsky, Pinkston, Grand Street Cryers, Soul Hat, Visceral Punch, Wakeland, EKG, and more.

Doug Simmons, co-owner of The Curtain Club, agrees. "We've been real happy with it. We think the event itself has tons and tons of potential. It kind of tailed off for a few months, but now it's getting back to the point where we're doing around 2,000 people between all the venues. If nothing else, I'm just happy to see all the clubs do something collectively. I hope it continues to grow."
The event got off to a rocky start, dealing with the demise of Q102 (and one of its prime advertising outlets) in its second month, and a torrential downpour the next. Even though it made it through both of those problems, as of this month First Friday no longer exists -- at least not under that name. Due to a local social group that claims it owns the copyright to the name First Friday -- which is a bit like someone claiming to own the copyright to "two-fer-Tuesday" or any other innocuous retail come-on -- the event will now be known as Deep Friday.
"I know personally of three or four events that call themselves First Friday," Simmons says. "We could have challenged it, and the attorneys we have said we probably could have won it, but none of us wanted to go through the expense or hassle."
And they're passing on the savings to you.

And now a tiger salamander:Posted: March 21, 2015 Filed under: Beasts, Creepy Crawlies | Tags: paranormal hotel, salamander, tiger salamander 10 Comments
I've been on a change-everything-in-my-life kick lately.
It's been good. I went in for a long over-due check-up and got a clean bill of health. I took a look at my priorities and goals and made some real changes. I'm writing more and taking better care of myself. Pages are piling up. I've lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks.
I quit my job at the Paranormal Hotel. Okay, I sorta-kinda quit. I tried to make a clean break of it, but ended up agreeing to fill in for vacations and sick days and stuff … when I can. I suffer from some sort of twisted addiction to the place, I think. (I'm already scheduled for a long weekend in early May.)
I also started volunteering at our local nature center.
That chubby little guy up there is my new friend, Right-Side Salamander, aka The Fat One. (These are my names for him. The rest of the feeder-people don't seem to make much of a distinction between the two.) Please forgive my filthy fingers … the salamanders need to have their soil loosened and moistened thoroughly, and the trowel is just unnecessarily awkward. I promise I wash very well after tending to my new buddies. (There are others critters I take care of as well. You'll probably get pictures of them at some point in the future.)
I have been working on the blog too … you just can't see any of that yet. I'll give you a sneak peek of one upcoming feature though:
Yep. It's going to get its own section. (That link doesn't lead to a public page yet, btw.)
… And that's the end of tonight's out-of-the-blue post. I just wanted to let you all know I haven't died or anything, and that I'll be back soon.
Proof of life: a quick Paranormal Hotel update (holidays edition)Posted: January 2, 2015 Filed under: My Paranormal Life, The #ParanormalHotel 4 Comments
Well, I meant to post something-anything on New Year's Day, but I just glanced down at the clock in the corner of my screen and I see it's after midnight. Let's just pretend it's still the 1st, okay?
I'll be honest: I'm having a rough winter. I've been striving to get back on track for a while. Of course I'm trying to do at least some of the right things today, in honor of the new year. Checking in with you guys is one of them, even if I don't have a lot to say right now.
I've been working at the hotel more than usual (which in itself isn't actually all that unusual, now that I think about it) so I can give you some random highlights of the holiday season at the Paranormal Hotel.

My men-folk and I made fudge in four different flavors for the holidays. Aside from just craving fudge, we also wanted to put together a few prize-packages for some of the residents at the hotel. One long-term guest, Willard, was too appreciative. When I gave him his fudge on Christmas night, he enveloped me in a huge hug and said he hadn't been given a Christmas gift in years. (Willard is a big guy … well over six foot and probably 250 pounds or so. When I pass his room on my rounds, I often hear him singing Motown songs in a gorgeous baritone. I don't know how old he is. To be truthful, I'm not good at gauging the age of black folks.) A couple of days later, when I worked again, I found out Willard had been taken away by ambulance on the night of the 26th. I was just getting the news from my manager when Willard and his son returned from the hospital. Willard came to the desk to say he'd "just had a little heart event thing." His son stood back from us, but volunteered that his dad's blood sugar had been way too high as well <…pause, to establish eye contact with me…> which wasn't surprising, considering how much fudge he'd been eating.
Yes, I do feel like I tried to kill one of my favorites.
The hotel is messing with my spidey-senses, I think. I had the strangest experience on Christmas Eve. I was in the laundry room and it was coming up on midnight. I was folding some towels and glancing up at the video monitor that shows the lobby every few seconds. I caught a flash of motion, and the impression of a man, just as he strode out of the camera's line of sight. He had disappeared into the hallway that leads past the snack, soda and ice machines, then the laundry room, on the way to the elevator. Only two details registered. He was wearing faded jeans and work boots. (Not exactly an uncommon look around here.) Still, that glimpse of scuffed leather boots made my heartbeat stutter. A cold urge to slam the laundry room door shut sluiced through me. Instead of lunging for the door, though, I froze. Of course he didn't come in. In fact I didn't see so much as a shadow from his passing.
Considering the fact that I hadn't batted an eye earlier in the evening, when seven rough-looking giants (at least a couple of whom were sporting teardrop tattoos) had invaded my lobby, I find my reaction to this guy's boots odd. (Is this a Stephen King thing? As I write it up, I am reminded of the walking dude.)
Last night, on New Year's Eve, I discovered a party of young folks smoking A LOT of pot in one of our non-smoking rooms. (Another guest complained about the scent in the hallway.) When I got up there, I sniffed my way to the offending room and knocked. A well-dressed guy with bloodshot eyes opened the door just a crack. I told him I had to come in to find out if there was smoking going on. He reluctantly allowed me to enter. The air in the room was visibly swirling in the eddies created by the breathing of the ten or twelve people in there. There wasn't a joint or bong in sight and everyone in the room had perfect posture and folded hands. They were the guiltiest-looking bunch of 20-somethings I've ever seen. At the time, I was just stunned that they had requested a non-smoking room when they checked in. I made them pay for a-whole-nother room, on one of the smoking floors, but I didn't kick them out. I left a note for my boss, telling him what I'd done. I was nervous he'd be mad that I hadn't thrown them out, but I did not want to be responsible for any of them driving.
Today I got a text from my boss, telling me I'd done good.
My life is weird.

YOUR MUSICAL INTERLUDE: The Hanging Tree by
Jennifer Lawrence Static Waves EDIT: Both versions: Static Waves AND Jennifer Lawrence
NOTE: At first, I had a video here that featured Jennifer Lawrence singing the song (apparently from the soundtrack). Then there was a sweep of YouTube, in which all of those were taken down. I found a cover that I liked and swapped it in. NOW, a kind reader has let me know that the OFFICIAL Jennifer Lawrence video has been posted. Here it is:

I got an interesting comment / question from Dave H. over on 13+ haunting movies for ghost story lovers:
I am trying to remember the title of a movie that I wanted to watch the other evening, after watching "The Others". It's plot is very similar to "The Others", in that at the end of the movie, the family realizes that they are dead.
The movie starts with a family (father, mother and just one son, if I remember correctly) heading up to a house that they bought, driving a Jeep Cherokee (again, if I remember correctly) and they show the road as treacherous, then they are living in the house, something happens, the end of the movie is a crash scene where their car is pulled from a ditch or something.
It sounds so familiar, but I'm coming up blank. 'Can't even think of search terms that would help me track it down. Who out there remembers this movie?
Robert McCammon's ebooks are on sale today, including Boy's Life for $2.99. This is probably my favorite McCammon:
Small town boys see weird sights, and Zephyr has provided Cory Jay Mackenson with his fair share of oddities. He knows the bootleggers who lurk in the dark places outside of town. On moonless nights, he's heard spirits congregate in the churchyard to reminisce about the good old days. He's seen rain that flooded Main Street and left it crawling with snakes. Cory knows magic, and relishes it as only a young boy can.One frosty winter morning, he and his father watch a car jump the curb and sail into the fathomless town lake. His father dives into the icy water to rescue the driver, and finds a naked corpse handcuffed to the wheel. This chilling sight is only the start of the strangest period of Cory's life, when the magic of his town will transform him into a man.
P.S. That last one, by Manochio, is a Christmas tale — do you know who Krampus is?
I gotta say, I was a little disappointed with The Theory of Everything. Not a bad movie … just not as good as I'd hoped. Stephen Hawking's story, of course, is compelling. Eddie Redmayne does a convincing portrayal of Hawking. The film is based on a book written by Jane Hawking and it departs from reality a fair bit. If you want to know the facts, check out this article from Slate Magazine. (Warning: if you read the article, you will find lots of spoilers.)

The reviews are saying that this is a cut above most horror. Apparently there's a twist / something special about the second half / ending. (I'm not looking into it too deeply, because I don't want to have my experience spoiled.)
Rated: R
Available now on Netflix streaming.
ScoobyClue brought TWO prizes to the comment thread of last week's M&M Media post. (Apparently she's caught on to my fondness for quirky 20th century period pieces, horror or not.) I'll be watching for these.
Rated: PG13
Stars: Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz, Krysten Ritter
Opening in theaters: December 25th
Coming in January on ABC.
I am really excited about this one:
EDIT: I just found a review of the movie by someone who has seen it! Here's what Megan, of Halloween Girl, has to say: The Babadook Review
Mrs. Horror Boom brought this film to my attention in her thoroughly informative post:
See the Spooky-Ass Short Film That Inspired Jennifer Kent's Upcoming "The Babadook" – "Monster" (2005)
For more in-depth info about the film, go have a read.
If nothing else, though, you've got to watch the actual short film that led to the full movie:
No, really. It's VERY good. It's only 10 minutes. Click the play button.

Macabre & Mysterious Media: Movies for the long holiday weekend.Posted: November 25, 2014 Filed under: *Macabre Media, Movies & Films, Music & Art | Tags: Bill Paxton, Gone Girl, Interstellar, Live Die Repeat, Macabre & Mysterious Music, Nightcrawler, Only Lovers Left Alive, Redbox, Renae Rude, Snowpiercer, The Paranormalist, The Purge: Anarchy, The Theory of Everything, Tilda Swinton 10 Comments
YOUR MUSICAL / HISTORICAL INTERLUDE: Parish Apartment Unlocked After 70 Years
For a little more on the story, read the Wikipedia entry: Marthe de Florian
This movie clocks in at more than two hours and forty-five minutes, but you won't feel it. (As long as you don't drink too much soda.)
Rated: PG13
Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain
Playing at most theaters (in general release)
If you've seen it, and your head is still spinning, here's Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining the science behind the ending of Interstellar:
I don't remember if I mentioned this movie here at the blog. I suppose it will heading out of the theaters soon, so if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a great date movie if "normal" romances and rom/coms leave you cold.
Rated: R
Stars: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris
Playing in theaters now – might be on the way out.
LIVE, DIE, REPEAT aka EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014)
Ogre and I saw this at the theater, when it was just called Edge of Tomorrow. It's a fun, action-packed movie. If you haven't seen it, it would be a good choice for group viewing during the upcoming long holiday weekend.
Rated: PG13
Stars: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton
Available this week at Redbox
I LOVED this film, but not everyone will. One word captures its essence nicely: languorous. Other words that describe it include sensual, jaded, passionate, pretentious … let's just say it might be irritating for anyone looking for a fast, fun movie. Be aware it's not horror, despite most of the characters being vampires. In fact, I guess it's a romance. Well, what do you know? A romance I actually liked, (besides Silver Linings Playbook … but I REALLY digress.)
Rated: R
Stars: Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton
Available this week at Redbox (also on Netflix DVD)
This is either brilliant or the cheesiest dystopian you've ever seen, depending on who you talk to. For me, it's another one of those films I kind of hated while watching, but am now glad I've seen. (Some of the images and story elements have real sticking power.) It's a risk, but hey, it's streaming on Netflix, so see how the trailer strikes you.
Rated: R
Stars: Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton
Available on Netflix streaming
And here's the stuff I can get ahold of this weekend — that I haven't seen — that looks good:
Stars: Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, Tom Prior

Playing at most theaters (in general release)
PS: Nice to see Tilda Swinton and Bill Paxton getting so much work :)
I didn't see the first movie, and I don't have any interest. I thought the intriguing concept of a society that allows such a purge was totally wasted in a home invasion movie. I haven't see Anarchy yet, but I plan to. A review I read, by one of YOU, made me think, "This is the movie I wanted to see the first place." (Who wrote that review? I'll happily link to it.)
Rated: R
Directed and written by: James DeMonaco
Available from Redbox (and Netflix DVD)
I just watched an episode of MonsterMen about found footage films. I'm picky about these, but I am intrigued by The Taking of Deborah Logan.
…And now that I've watched the trailer, I am deeply creeped out. This one is the one most likely to seriously scare me.

Horror in the night.Posted: November 12, 2014 Filed under: My Paranormal Life | Tags: centipede, exfoliation, house centipede, night of abject terror, Renae Rude, The Paranormalist 20 Comments
I dragged my husband to hell last night.
Lately, I've been running on too little sleep, so last night I decided to take a hot bath and turn in early (for me.)
At about about 1:30 am, I finished ripping off my skin with my new, incredibly effective, exfoliation cloth. It's a chore, but it makes you all silky-smooth. It also restores a kind of tactile sensitivity that you didn't even know you'd lost. You "feel" more — a warm breeze which would have been pleasant before the flaying, is even more noticeable and more pleasant afterwards. (The reason this matters will become clear in a bit.)
After applying restorative unguents and potions all over, I crept into our bedroom where Ogre had been asleep for an hour or two. The TV was turned on and a PBS show was filling the room with a dim light and a soporific drone. The cat — who is normally curled up wherever Ogre's hands are (because he knows The Man pets soft things, even in his sleep) — was NOT on Ogre, but, instead, on my nightstand. Every line of his body told me that he thought he was hunting something.
He does that.
I gleefully put myself next to Ogre's hands (because I, too, know The Man pets soft things, even in his sleep) and told the cat he was a fool. He ignored me and continued to stare into the corner.
I was turning on my sleep tracker when a peripheral motion, a couple of feet to my left, caught my eye. I looked directly at the wall just in time to see something big and insectile scurry behind the drawn blinds.
Now, I don't really fear spiders, but I don't believe they belong in my home, and certainly not in my bedroom. I turned on the bedside lamp and carefully opened the blinds so I could see just how creepy this particular trespasser was. (Ogre is used to me moving around all night, so this didn't disturb him.) I couldn't find a spider. I kept looking, because I knew I hadn't imagined the movement. After a long examination of the windowsill, I finally found the crawler, but it was no spider. It was a huge, hideous, billion-legged centipede (about two inches long) and it was trying desperately to blend into the woodwork.
We were both frozen for a minute, then it moved. No, that's not right; It undulated. As each of its legs rose and fell, I could FEEL a corresponding footfall somewhere on my skin.
I threw on a robe and ran to get the little vacuum, which is my preferred bug-catching tool. By the time I got back to the room, the cat was on the floor under the window, peering into the heating register.
Well, damn.
I plugged in the vacuum which immediately roared to life. I quickly unplugged it and soothed Ogre, who was becoming just barely aware something abnormal was going on. I told him that I had to vacuum up a big bug, but that he could go back to sleep. He did.
I changed from my robe into a heavy flannel nightgown while keeping an eye on the cat and the area around him. I made sure the vacuum's switch was off, plugged it back in, and took it into the bed with me. From there I could watch the cat, as he watched the register. We waited.
Nothing happened. I turned off the bedside lamp and kept vigil by the light of the TV. Sure enough, The Thing eventually came out of the register and headed toward the bed. The cat did not notice as it skittered past his haunch.
I turned on the light, switched on the vacuum, and dived for it. It escaped …into the shadows under the bed. Ogre rolled over.
I got up, went into the living room, tucked my legs up under myself in the desk chair, and googled centipedes. I found this:
I read the article entitled, 'The House Centipede: Get Rid of Them or Let Them Be?" I learned that centipedes are GOOD bugs. That they hardly every bite people, and that they eat other bugs (including spiders.) That they are scared of people. And that an individual centipede can live for TEN-FUCKING-YEARS.
Then I read the comment thread. (My son has warned me repeatedly to never read the comment thread, but do I listen?) I learned that centipedes do bite people (and that the bite isn't much worse than a bee sting.) That they often skitter right toward, and over, people. And that they seem particularly fond of getting right into the bedding, then …wriggling. (With all their billion legs.)
Every few minutes I "felt" something crawl onto my exquisitely sensitized skin.
After an hour of that, I pulled on a pair of sweatpants under my nightgown and put on some socks. I went back into the bedroom, exhausted and determined to get some sleep.
As I sat in the spot closest to center of the bed, in a posture that would make a second grade teacher proud, with my head spinning 360 degrees every minute or so — you know, like you do when you're tucking in for the night — I saw The Thing again. It was on the wall, up near the ceiling, above Ogre's nightstand.
I took a few deep breaths. I slid out of bed and grabbed the vacuum. I crept around the foot of the bed to Ogre's side. I got into a good position and stretched the hose out so that its opening was hovering just over the creature. I switched on the vacuum and and saw part of The Thing's body lift away from the wall … then The Thing came to life again. With some magnificent, twisting motion, it managed to escape the hose. Instead of being sucked up, it dropped behind Ogre's dresser and out of sight.
I lost my freaking mind.
Perhaps that doesn't convey what happened clearly enough: I shouted bad words at the top of my lungs, then burst into tears, then fled the room. (Remember, I was very, very tired even before this saga began.)
Ogre woke up.
After some explaining on my part and some consoling on Ogre's part, Ogre asked me to sit with him while he waited for it appear again so that he could kill it. Of course, The Thing refused to come out where we could see it. (It was probably under the bed … or somewhere in the covers. Or behind the picture that hangs over the bed …)
Finally, I decided I would have to sleep on the sofa. I told Ogre I'd be fine and that it was important that he get some sleep, and yada ya. I know he would have been fine just going back to sleep in there, but he opted to join me in the living room instead. I am a lucky woman.
Well, I'm a lucky woman who will not be able to sleep soundly any time in the next ten years.
(Yes, I am aware that The Thing could be anywhere in the apartment now. So very, very aware.)

Desperado Sage leaning--How to straighten?
I bought this desperado sage at about 1 foot tall and planted it a couple of feet inside my fence. It's 2-3 months later and the sage about 3 feet tall and looks great except that it's growing sideways (and into my salvia plant).
The fence runs east/west, and the north/south fence is a few more feet away. That fence would block morning sun but not the rest of the day. The plant is growing toward the south. It is growing away from a fence that wouldn't block the sun and not toward a direction that would get it more sun, so I'm a bit perplexed. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the sun.
Any suggestions about how to encourage it to grow upright? Stake it? Prune it? It's very drought tolerant but here in Texas in July I'm hesitant to do anything that will stress the plant too much because we have nothing but extreme heat to look forward to in the next two months.
Most plants will lean toward the most light, and the south gets the most sun for a longer part of the day as long as it's not obstructed by trees, buildings, fences, etc. I have Desperado, and it kind of did the same thing its first year, but second year it is growing up a little straighter - I guess the stems are getting thicker and stronger. I'd give it time - maybe prune lightly in the winter.

DL native on ballot for state justice
Detroit Lakes native Tim Tingelstad knows his quest to unseat state Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson is tough at best.
Tingelstad, a magistrate with the Ninth District Court based in Bemidji, who oversees family law cases isn't deterred, though.
It's Tingelstad's second attempt for a spot on the high court. He lost a race against ex-Vikings standout Alan Page in the 2004 general election. Tingelstad picked up about 28 percent of the vote then.

Crop Profile: Collard Greens
Collard greens are versatile plants. While most members of the brassica family are best-suited to the cooler climates of the northern United States, collard greens can be successfully grown in the South—hence, their traditional culinary popularity in that region. However, collard greens are also extremely cold-hardy (the flavor is actually improved by frost exposure) and heat-tolerant, making them the ideal choice for would-be brassica growers in a range of locales.
Collard greens are a loose-leafed, non-heading cabbage. Grow your collards in nitrogen-rich soil by direct-seeding or transplanting. Allow 12 inches between transplants in rows 18 to 24 inches apart, or be prepared to thin your seedlings as they grow (direct-seed 12 to 18 inches apart in rows 18 to 24 inches apart, thinning to 12 to 18 inches as the plants grow); harvest large leaves when plant is 10 to 12 inches high, allowing younger leaves to continue developing.

text: Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 is rated 3.7761 out of 5 by 719. Rated 4 out of 5 by Nemberton from I bought this product on a whim when I was out looking for new makeups to try. I mostly enjoy the prduct and its results. E.L.F for sure needs to bring out more pink-based products for people who have blueish hue undertones. Thats why it appears orange even if you got it to "match your skin." It did a really good job moisturizing my skin and the coverage was very good. The bottle doesn't come with much product, but a little does go a long way. Date published: 2015-03-02 Rated 4 out of 5 by PinkDuck from Not bad for $3 I wish I would've ordered Porcelain instead of Nude but it can make it work even though it is a bit dark because it blends out pretty sheer. There is just enough coverage to even out the skin but it is not as moisturizing as I expected. It feels more like a BB cream to me. It gets streaky if not blended all the way out but a damp beauty blender makes for a flawless application. Date published: 2015-02-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by Grace18 from Better than expected! I use the nude shade (even if I'm a few shades darker) and it blends so well with my skin. It looks flawless and doesn't look like I have anything on though it does cover the redness on my face. The product is better than I'd ever expect. This is my to-go product as it last a lot longer than the bb creams I've tried (ironically). Date published: 2015-02-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by simplistic is beautiful from I love it ! This is my fav! Takes all my redness away and is perfect for the light weight coverage I like! Only one I use! Date published: 2015-02-22 Rated 3 out of 5 by 20SomthingFemale from At least it wasn't expensive... I purchased this product one year ago and decided to stop using it a month or two later. I didn't wear it everyday but when I did it made my skin look a little rubbery and dull. I definitely didn't get the correct tone for the color of my skin but it didn't blend well on my face either. I often had streak marks and darker spots like a fake tanner product when you apply it with your fingers. It also didn't have a very pleasant smell, so it seemed like I just applied really thin sun block to my face. However it offered the SPF and some tinting so maybe if you find a color tone that matches your skin tone, it will offer some benefits. Overall it is an average product, of which the quality reflects the price. Date published: 2015-02-21 Rated 3 out of 5 by Deutschgirl from MORE MOISTURE, PLEASE!! This was the first time I've bought this product, (about 2wks ago), and while I love the coverage/color, I am med. tone, I am disappointed, cause I have very dry skin, and it's not at all moisturizing. I add my own face cream and mix, but I should not have to, correct? Call it concealor if you will, but def NOT a tinted moisturizer!! Date published: 2015-02-20 Rated 1 out of 5 by Kaylea from Breakouts!!!! This made me break out A LOT! I have combination skin and the oily parts of my face broke out a lot:c Would not recommend for oily skin. Date published: 2015-02-18 Rated 3 out of 5 by MrsCarito from MrsCarito I bought this on accident. I normally stay far away from tinted moisturizers because they don't cover and I already have the worst oily skin I have ever seen on any person in my life. However, I ran out of my bb cream and was going to bed so thought what the heck. Of course, the foundation is bright orange on me as with ALL the elf products, so its not like I can wear this out. What I noticed was that it actually covered better than I would expect out of a tinted moisturizer and that it didnt seem moisturizing as in greasy. It actually seemed to do the opposite on my face (suck up the oil). I would highly reccomend this product for someone with oily skin as opposed to the bb cream. I LOVE the bb cream bc its so easy but it truly is too oily for my skin. If you have dry skin, use the bb cream. If you have oily skin, this might work out for you. Everybody is different but this has been my personal experience with this product. Date published: 2015-02-16 Rated 1 out of 5 by rav77 from Breakouts! I've been using this for about 4 months. My acne continued to get worse and worse so I had to find the cause of what product was doing this. I immediately stopped using this and my face got so much better! It clogged my pores like crazy due to my sensitive skin and made me look orange. I dont reccomend if you breakout easy or have oily skin. Date published: 2015-02-14 Rated 2 out of 5 by SammH from Not a fan I bought all the ELF foundations and this was my least favorite. I'm not a fan of tinted moisturizers because I like full coverage, but was hoping this would be a good beach day routine. IT'S NOT. It was very thin upon application, but felt as heavy as a full coverage foundation. It was greasy & came off on everything I touched. It didn't blend into my skin like a moisturizer should, but instead just sat right on top, ready to melt away at any second. Wouldn't repurchase or recommend. Date published: 2015-02-11 Rated 4 out of 5 by shopper from Great product great price Nice color and looks natural on skin, I would recommend. Date published: 2015-02-10 Rated 2 out of 5 by Kimberly93 from Labeled a moisturizer, but not moisturizing. I am fair skinned, and bought this in porcelain. I have dry skin, and was looking for moisturizing light coverage. I found this to go on orangey and streaky, and isn't at all moisturizing. My dry patches still looked dry and extra flaky. It might work as a light tint w/ spf for people with warm undertones and normal skin, but this is not a good product for people with pink undertones nor dry or combination skin. Date published: 2015-02-10 Rated 1 out of 5 by EstaW from Where is the moisturize ? Where is the Moisturize ? My skin felt tight and dry with this.. not at all pleased with it, and not as expected. It might make a decent foundation, with a ton of cream added.. maybe. This might be one for the trash otherwise. Date published: 2015-02-07 Rated 4 out of 5 by fourkat from Pump? I bought this because LM tinted moisturizer was too expensive. The color beige was a bit too tan for me, but it blended out smoothly. The coverage was sheer, but it had good texture. My only problem was the pump. After the first week or so of using this, a bunch of it started to gush out, and now the inside cap is a mess. It still bead out automatically when I open it. It annoys me and is a waste, but I will try again when this tube runs out. Date published: 2015-02-04 Rated 5 out of 5 by Dezi from Quick, light coverage. If you want to use this to cover a lot of red and don't intend on putting primer or concealer on, you'll be out of luck. Doesn't orange after time, and is recommended you reapply every two hours. I can usually get by with about 6 hours before I'm covering up my chin and nose (very red area's for me). Won't get you full coverage, again, but is perfect for those mornings when you don't quite have enough time to get all of your face on and just want to look alive. I've always ALWAYS recommended using a brush to apply makeup, but with this stuff It honestly is best to blend as best as you can with clean fingers and then smooth it out with a round brush. I'll sometimes find myself using this on my chest, neck, shoulders, etc. Date published: 2015-02-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by JanieLouGibs from Refreshing! I continuously buy this tinted moisturizer, because of its great quality. I can feel it help my skin and it is very affordable! Definitely my favorite elf product by far! Date published: 2015-02-02 Rated 2 out of 5 by sarahkaylyn8 from not impressed to be honest, this product smells gross. it is very cakey. I purchased the shade porcelain and it's sort of brownish orangish. and i experienced streaks. :( Date published: 2015-01-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by sweetsara from Covers well, not to heavy I picked up this product from target when I was looking for a new foundation. I have combination skin and a tendency towards adult acne. This product is amazing!! I use it every day as a moisturizer and it evens out my skin naturally without looking like I caked makeup on, combine this with the stick concealer our for my few dark spots and my skin looks flawless and natural, with absolutely no breakouts! Plus the price is amazing! Not a lot comes in the container, so be ready to buy it often, but at the price its totally worth it. Date published: 2015-01-22 Rated 1 out of 5 by Tink from Disgusting Smell I bought this just a week or so ago and as soon as I opened it, I was hit with the smell. It has not gone away and several times I have tried to use it, I can't get past the smell. The product itself is not very good either (the little bit I managed to used). It doesn't' moisturize, it makes my dry spots more noticeable by sticking to them instead. I would not repurchase. Date published: 2015-01-22 Rated 5 out of 5 by Megan570 from Love it I bought this to try because I really don't need a heavy coverage because I do not struggle with pimples or acne at all. I do however have some uneven tones on my face and just need minimal coverage. This product is wonderful and does the trick, leaving my skin even toned and it does not feel like I am wearing makeup at all. Overall very satisified and will purchase again when I run out. Date published: 2015-01-11 Rated 1 out of 5 by MakeupCatEyeliner from too dark I bought this a week ago. I'm pretty pale so I thought porcelain should be okay, but it was really yellow and way too dark. I'm disappointed. This color is like 5 shades darker than porcelain. Do not but this if you skin color is porcelain or ivory, it will be way too dark and yellow for you. Date published: 2015-01-09 Rated 3 out of 5 by BrianaLopez from Works well i've had this for a while now but I've only used it a handful of times. the first 2 times i loved it, it gave me a decent coverage after i set it with powder. but after a while, IT CAUSED ME TO BREAK OUT SO BAD :( i don't know if my skin is just sensitive or if i'm allergic to the product. it's a shame too because i really loved it, just not the red bumps scattered all over my cheeks so don't use on sensitive skin Date published: 2015-01-06 Rated 2 out of 5 by Sarahnyny from The only reason this gets 2 stars is for coverage First, this is very dark, even in the lightest color. Next, it smells like rotten yogurt! Eck! You need to rub it in very a long time before you get any coverage, but it has fine coverage for a TM with 2 layers. This is one of my biggest peeves- it doesn't set, even with powder. I rub my face a little maybe an hour after I've applied, and i get product on my finger. Lastly, it isn't moisturizing, and clings awfully to my dry patches. Overall, I was really disappointing with this. No thanks, rotten yogurt! Date published: 2015-01-04 Rated 5 out of 5 by 01jeany01 from My new makeup I bought porcelain and nude and mix them for my perfect shade. I use a lot of different items from e.l.f. and am satisfied with all. I hope prices stay affordable. Date published: 2015-01-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by maddibee from I got this for Christmas... in the wrong color... SO I was like well I'll try it... it was too dark when I tried it on my wrist. I started mixing it with my regular-every-day-moisturizer (CeraVe cream) to lighten it and OH MY GOD, it is awesome. I wear it every day and haven't stopped wearing it since I got it. There is a slight smell of sunscreen on my hand after mixing the two but I don't mind that. It is a great, feels like I'm wearing foundation (not too heavy) but better for my skin! Date published: 2015-01-01 Rated 2 out of 5 by Beccaisapunk from Terrible orange undertones. I bought this in the shade porcelain because that's all they had stocked at my local Target, and even if I bought the shade Ivory I doubt it'd help much since a lighter orange isn't going to help my situation.I was hoping this would be a great dupe or close to my Revlon Photoready BB cream, which Revlons colors are the only thing that get anywhere close to my skin tone because I am so pale with NO orange in my skin. I knew this wasn't a BB cream but figured it'd be worth 3 dollars to see if I was a color match and then going back for the BB cream. I've used ELF's flawless finish foundation and found it was a little yellow, but not orange... This.... woah. Super duper yellowey orange worse than anything I've ever used. It looked okay when I first put it on my skin, but as it oxidized it super oxidized.I'm not giving this 1 star just because I am super pale, and it might work for people who have different skin tones, but the color on the bottle really isn't a good representation. I didn't wear it out because.. ORANGE, but other than that it wasn't terrible. Not alot of coverage at all, which it isn't supposed to have alot of coverage. Wasn't greasy either.For 3 dollars I'm not too hurt I don't like it.Totally love elf, and after trying 20+ items of theirs this has been my first real let down and product I absolutely have no use for. Date published: 2014-12-31 Rated 5 out of 5 by mschaub from love it!!! I love this product!! I am used to buying Laura Mercier, Este Lauder, Lancome basically very expensive products! And I thought why not it is $3 dollars and I did... WOW I am truly amazed. Flawless, lightweight, and just so natural!!! Color was great (beige). I will definitely recommend this item to everyone!! I am a lifer. And no one has paid me or given me anything to write this review!! Date published: 2014-12-26 Rated 3 out of 5 by cami1234567890 from I bought this a while back, and it's ok.... The problem is that it's patchy. some parts of your face looks like you have streaks all over, no matter how well you blend! Date published: 2014-12-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by musicteacher from Great for light coverage. First off, I am fairly new to e.l.f. products, but I am so glad I've discovered them. I have quite pale combination skin, so I bought the two lightest shades of this product on a 50% off sale, figuring I could find the best shade or mix them. My initial application mistake was treating this product like a foundation. I then had an orange peeling mess on my face. Since this product is a tinted moisturizer, I next treated it as I would applying a moisturizer to my face. Great success! Surprisingly, but shades blend well into my skin, evening out my skin tone and keeping the dry parts of my face looking soft and refreshed. In summary, this product is great for light coverage (when I'm not broken out). I will likely re-purchase. Date published: 2014-12-14 Rated 4 out of 5 by Harhailija from Worth it I bought this on a whim while shopping. I thought the value was great for the price - after application, my face felt soft to the touch, and my skin tone had been evened out. The one thing I did not like is that the one that I bought in shade porcelain had a bit of a yellow tone to it, but it wasn't that bad, so I'm planning on finishing off this one and trying out a different shade.

The staff and owners of the hotel restaurant were brilliant. They were welcoming and the service was spot on. The room was a good size. Because of the situation of it if you wanted to access the window you had to crouch, but that's just some of the upstairs bedrooms. We had dinner and breakfast outside. Very nice indeed.

Nope, your never really safe anywhere, thats why you have to be prepared. I'm glad it ended well for the guy.
Looks as though he did not have an alarm system. The outcome could have been entirely different if he had. I go to bet he gets one in the real near future.
My xdm is on my belt all day when im not at work. Even sitting playing xbox i got my gun on me.

I'm safe as long as my gun is in arms reach...or I feel safe anyway.....
I am in the habit of locking my doors even while I am home. I have three small dogs who bark at every sound they hear. I think they even bark when they hear a fly buzzing around outside. If someone were to try to get into my house my dogs would go nuts with their barking. This would give me enough time to get my hands on a firearm. If someone persisted in forcibly entering my house with the dogs barking I have to figure they are up to no good. It doesn't matter which firearm I grab because I am very familiar with all of them. Of course, I don't grab a gun every time my dogs bark. I would try to make an assessment of the situation and determine what action was warranted, even if it had to be done very quickly.
dogs are an early warning system... I've learned to differentiate my yappy little mutts barking because they hear a noise from barking because they want to warn me. It's a different bark. Steel/foam door with reinforced strikers. Doors are always locked. Firearms are usually (but not always) within arms reach. Somebody coming in is going to make some noise before they get in the house.
