Originally written on We Talk Fantasy Sports | Last updated 6/20/13
In 1998 Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa took sports fans by storm, going back and forth, trying to break the MLB single season home run record. At that time the record was 61 and it was held by Roger Maris since 1961. On September 7, 1998, Big Mac, 34 years old, slugged home run number 61, off Mike Morgan of the Chicago Cubs, tying the record. It was an amazing thing to witness because Sammy Sosa was on the opposing team with 58 home runs. The following day, Mark broke the record, against the Cubs still, off Steve Traschel. It was wasn't until September 13 that Sosa hit #61 and on that same day he also hit #62. Mark McGwire would finish that season with 70 home runs, setting a record no one thought would ever be broken. Sosa finished with "just" 66 home runs. Fast forward to 2001, just 3 seasons later, Barry Bonds at age 36, breaks McGwire's record while walking 177 times, giving him 33 less official plate appearances. What Chris Davis is doing this season is right on pace with these guys and we could see Davis possibly reach the 60 home run mark, which hasn't been done since Bonds (73) and Sosa (64) did it in 2001. Sosa is the only player to hit 60 home runs in a single season, THREE TIMES!

Pushing the Limits
[Feature] As humans, we have to accept a life?with limits: how weak the sounds we can hear, how fast we can run, how much negative criticism we'll accept, how fast we are permitted to drive. Sometimes the limits are given by physical or biological laws. Other times the limits are rather determined by moral, cultural, or behavioral factors. By nature, we like to exceed limits when possible. Exceeding speed limits on the road may cause traffic accidents, or just a ticket. In audio there are certain limits we must obey. We should not exceed 0 dBFS in digital recording level, for example. (Despite this it would seem that some put all their efforts into doing so anyway...) In live concerts, we may meet legislative limitations to the maximum SPL in order to minimize the risk of hearing damage of the concertgoers and employed personnel.

I have an NSDictionary object that contains my data. I am passing in an array of key names and a display format for a string representation of my data.
[self displayMyDataWithTheseKeys:myKeyArray inThisFormat:myFormat];
where, for example,
myKeyArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Key1", @"Key2", nil];
myFormat = [NSString stringWithString: @"%@ to the %@ degree"];
However, myFormat may change and the number of keys in the array may vary as well.
If the number of elements in the array was always 2, this would be trivial. However, how can I handle a variable number of elements?

128K Sequential Read/Write
The 128K sequential speeds reflect the maximum sequential throughput of the SSD using a realistic file size actually encountered in an enterprise scenario. One area that HDDs continue to provide performance that is competitive with SSDs is with sequential access.
The RAID 5 provides relatively consistent high read speed across the gamut of queue depths. The 8-drive array averages 454MB/s at QD256, the 5 drives provide 280MB/s and the 3 drives score 119MB/s.
The write speeds exhibit more variability, which is likely partially due to the RAID code overhead. RAID incurs serious penalties in write performance, and here we can observe it significantly affecting the speed of the HDDs.
The 8-drive array provides 81MB/s at QD256, the 5-drive array provides 68MB/s, and the 3-drive array averages 50MB/s.

Victory declared in Great Butterfly Hunt
It has taken five months, but now The Independent has achieved its aim of spotting every one of Britain's 58 species in a single summer.
Saturday 05 September 2009
It finished on the last day of summer. The Independent's Great British Butterfly Hunt, our attempt to see and report on every one of the 58 British butterflies species in a single year, came to a successful climax last Monday, 31 August, when we finally sighted the 58th – the clouded yellow.
The clouded yellow is a striking insect and one of the two migrant butterflies which cross the Channel every year to join us from continental Europe (the other being the painted lady). It had been an elusive species to track down, with several trips in search of it proving fruitless.
While painted ladies this year poured into Britain in perhaps the greatest numbers ever seen – there may have been over 20 million – clouded yellows, which wander about the countryside searching for fields of clover and other leguminous crops, have been a much rarer sight.
But on the stroke of a sunlit noon on Bank Holiday Monday, on a scrubby, wildflower-rich corner of the South Downs above Steyning in Sussex, those unmistakable, bright sulphur-yellow wings flashed over the browny-pink wild marjoram and pale blue field scabious flowers.
We had done it.
We hope that it has given a sense of the richness and value of our wildlife to have seen and reported on every single one of our native butterflies, from rarities such as the swallowtail, the heath fritillary and the large blue, to common but still very beautiful species, such as the red admiral and the peacock.
It has certainly told us a lot about the state of the natural world, as the presence and the visibility of butterflies is one of the best indicators of the health of the countryside as a whole.
British butterflies have had quite a good year in 2009. It was not brilliant – apart from the painted lady explosion, which was an exceptional natural event, with a single field in Sussex found to contain perhaps a quarter of a million pairs of those salmon-pink wings. But it was infinitely better than the two years which preceded it: the washout summers of 2007 and 2008. Their endless downpours sent several threatened species, including the wood white, the Duke of Burgundy and the high brown fritillary, plunging to their lowest levels on record.
Although hardly the "barbecue summer" that the Met Office had so confidently predicted in its long-term forecast in April, there was enough fine weather in May and June to allow many species to emerge and lay their eggs in good numbers.
The three rare ones mentioned above all made recoveries, as did the once-common small tortoiseshell, whose numbers have in recent years been decimated by a parasite.
The heath fritillary, another rarity, also had a very good year, as did a number of the more common butterflies, including the peacock, the speckled wood, the silver-washed fritillary and the ringlet.
Others were not so fortunate. Four of the moth-like skippers, the large, the small, the silver-spotted and the Lulworth skipper (the last a speciality of Dorset) were down in numbers, as were the clouded yellow, as mentioned above.
Another difficult-to-find species was the red admiral.
Formerly a migrant, the red admiral, whose striking wings of black, white and scarlet make it many people's favourite butterfly, has increasingly been overwintering in Britain because of our warming climate.
But the snow and intense cold of February seem to have killed off the wintering butterflies and for some reason fewer migrants got here later from across the Channel.
We found it in the end, though, as we managed to find all the others, from the chequered skipper in Argyllshire (it's now extinct in England) to the Glanville fritillary on the Isle of Wight, in a quest that many Independent readers also took up.
Our invitation to join in the hunt generated widespread interest. Some people's totals were not large, but they had been compiled with evident pleasure. Judy Halliday of Caversham near Reading wrote that "The article in The Independent coincided with my decision to retire in April. It was quite a traumatic time and observing small, beautiful objects like butterflies served to help me to get over the bigger decisions in my life." Judy's total of 15 included less common species such as the dingy skipper, which likes chalky hillsides, as well as the jewel-like small copper and the orange tip.
That was the sort of total a number of readers came up with – it's the kind of figure you can see by being observant, without making special trips. Laura Lesley from Sussex recorded 107 sightings of 16 species, including the lovely marbled white, while Emma Lambe saw a total of 18 species, including the uncommon small blue, plus an unidentified skipper, around her 200-acre organic farm near Ross-on-Wye, which is specially managed for wildlife.
To see a lot more than that, you needed to be something of a true butterfly enthusiast. Richard Parkhurst, for example, from Waterlooville in Hampshire, who does surveys as a volunteer for the charity Butterfly Conservation, managed to see 31 species, including the once extinct, now reintroduced and still very rare large blue, which he found on one of its reintroduction sites in Somerset. In fact he saw six of Britain's eight blue butterfly species. And he was doing well, according to Butterfly Conservation's chief executive, Martin Warren: "To see over 30 species in a summer is good. To see over 40 species is very good, and anything over 50 means that you're doing exceptionally well."
Not many people breached 40, it has to be said. One was Professor David Newland, author of the guide Discover Butterflies in Britain, which gives more than 60 butterfly-finding locations: he spotted a total of 41, including real rarities such as the Duke of Burgundy, and 17 species in his village garden in Ickleton in Cambridgeshire alone; but he asked not to be considered for the prize (it would hardly be fair, would it?).
Yet the winner very nearly scooped the lot.
Andy King, 61, head of biology at Friern Barnet School in North London until his retirement last year, found that this summer he at last had the time and the freedom to look for butterflies seriously; he managed 57 out of the 58.
The species which eluded him was the chequered skipper. He found that when he was able to go to Scotland, he had missed it. Yet he meticulously documented and photographed all the others, with the most difficult being the mountain ringlet – he had to climb three Lake District peaks before he found it (The Independent only had to climb one).
"To see them all in one year was a logistics exercise," he said. "You had to find out where and when the species could be seen and then get there when the sun was shining.
"There was a certain amount of money involved, and a lot of travel – I saw them in 15 counties, never mind the counties I travelled through to get to them."
Andy's prize was a safari with Butterfly Conservation (plus lunch) to find the brown hairstreak, one of the hardest of all our species to see. In fact, he had already seen it, at Whitecross Green Wood in Oxfordshire, (though he was very keen to seek it out again).
But The Independent had not seen it. It was species 57 on our target list, and we still had two to go when Andy, myself and Martin Warren set out from the village of Steyning last Monday morning under the expert guidance of Neil Hulme, chairman of Butterfly Conservation's Sussex branch. It was one of those days when everything seems to go right, for as soon as we got to the site Neil had in mind, a strip of ash wood with an understorey of blackthorn, we found a female brown hairstreak. Normally both sexes haunt the treetops and are virtually impossible to see, but in the morning the females come down for a couple of hours to lay their eggs on blackthorn stems.
They are much more striking than the plain-coloured males: chocolate brown, with broad orange-golden bands across the forewings. I was taken aback; it was the most beautiful British butterfly I had ever seen.
That was at 11.20am. We watched it, and then another one, for 20 minutes, and then began a final hunt for the clouded yellow, The Independent's one remaining unseen species. When Martin Warren's shout signalled we had found it, with half a day of the summer left, you may imagine that the feeling was one of elation.

Phoenix Suns
Suns sending Morris twins to represent organization in 2014 NBA Draft Lottery
The Phoenix Suns have a 1.8 percent chance of moving up into the top-three of the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery.
Currently slotted in the No. 14 position, if the Suns were somehow to get a ping ball or two to go their way, they would leapfrog over the team in front of them, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The importance of that jump would be huge for Ryan McDonough and Co., as the Timberwolves owe the Suns a first-round pick dating back to the three-team trade that sent two second-rounders to Minnesota, Robin Lopez to the New Orleans Pelicans and Wesley Johnson to Phoenix in July 2012.
The T-Wolves' first-round pick is only top-13 protected.
While Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby has been the organization's representative of choice lately when it comes to the draft lottery, the team is sending what it hopes are its two good luck charms to the Big Apple: Markieff and Marcus Morris, who were taken No. 13 and No. 14 respectively in the 2011 NBA Draft.
Phoenix already owns the No. 18 and No. 27 pick in the draft.
The lottery will air Tuesday night at 5:00 p.m. Arizona time on ESPN.

Hey, I'm Torre!
I love connecting with people from different backgrounds, cultures, cities and countries. I Love travelling to new and interesting places discovering good food and new scenery and in future am looking to explore more new places around the globe.
I am passionate about people and social issues, cooking, music the arts, and enjoy having an active social life.
I started listing my 3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom 13th Century Tower in 2011 and since then have had the pleasure of hosting many lovely guests many of whom I now call friends
I am a great host and would love to share my knowledge of Italy and expertise with those who are visiting it for the first time and need help in directions and insight. I love Lunigiana as it is so diverse in nature and surroundings being both close to the Sea and to the Mountains. You can travel to the outstanding Cinque Terre in the morning and dine in the mountains in the evening with the most breath taking scenery ever!
I look forward to connecting with you! :)

Reviews From Guests
The house is just lovely, and the town amazing. Such a unique experience, would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. HOWEVER, we tried initially to get there by public transport and it was a massive headache. Ended up going back to La Spezia and renting a car. So I would recommend only booking if you've got your own transport. The host wasn't there but was very diligent with communication, quickly responding to all my emails.
Jessica - Am so glad you enjoyed your stay! It's a shame though that you didn't read the actual profile page of the tower, look at the map or communicate with me before deciding to take Vespas from La Spezia to Mulazzo! It would have saved you ( and I and Natalino and all the neighbours lol ) the headache of trying to assist you with getting to the tower. Particularly as once you decided to go back to La Spezia to get a car rather than reading my messages or listening to the many voicemails I left on your phone. you then unfortunately went to Bagnone instead of PONTREMOLI - oh dear! - poor you!! The Profile page and all of the details do say that it is best to have a car but that if a guest decides not to get one then they ought to go to PONTREMOLI and take a taxi from there which takes 9 minutes from station to door and costs £10 Euros. As you were aware, I was actually in hospital hence not at the tower but am very happy that once you did arrive and Natalino assisted you, you were able to enjoy the splendours of Mulazzo, it's people and the Tower itself and recuperate from your difficult start -
...So many wonderful things to say about this unique Tower, Mulazzo and surrounding area as well as the amazing host Chantal, that I hardly know where to begin! The Tower itself is quite remarkable and takes your breath away. It is charming and quaint and a real privilege to stay in. We found the Tower to be exceptionally clean and with an excellent array of equipment and well stocked kitchen cupboard. The views and scenery are wonderful and it was a joy to sit on the balcony and take in the fresh air and sights and sounds of Mulazzo. We loved the bell ringing on the hour and actually miss it now! The local shop was fantastic; we received a very friendly welcome and a chance to sample some of the local cheeses before buying. Cinque Terre is incredible and a must to visit. We did struggle to park however, but whilst in Lerici the next day, discovered that you can park there and take a ferry across. We also visited Bagnone which is a beautiful unspoilt town. We experienced the best ever cappuccino in a cafe here! Pontremolie is only a short drive away and has some fantastic cobbled streets and little cafes. We caught the train from here to Pisa. From the very onset of making a general enquiry through to returning home, Chantal was an exceptional host. Nothing seemed too much trouble and Chantal showed real care and consideration in all her communications. Our flight out was cancelled causing us quite a bit of stress and yet Chantal was on hand to help and assist. We can't thank you enough Chantal for all your help and just for being so lovely – it makes a huge difference. This was a magical holiday and you are a wonderful host and person.
Margaret and Alan: Thank you so much for the lovely review! Am so glad you finally managed to get to the Tower despite your flight being cancelled and that once you were there you were able to enjoy all that Lunigiana has to offer. Yes, if going to the Cinque Terre it's always a good idea to go by ferry/boat or by train as the Cinque Terre Villages are so tiny and parking is scarce. Often people say how magical the Tower is (We call it the Power of The Tower ha ha ) - All the Power of Love heading your Way - You were fantastic guests so warm and lovely. WIshing you bothj the very best!
Just an amazing place! Everything was at the highest level !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your review Ivan - Am very glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes to you and your family!!
While searching for accommodations in the Cinque Terre areas, we happened upon Torre Fiorita in Mulazzo and were immediately fascinated. Communicating with Chantal more than ever convinced us it was the place to stay, Chantal did advise us that it might be difficult staying In Mulazzo without a car, it is located 7 km from the train station at Pontremoli, but we took this as a challenge and saw it as an adventure. We were not disappointed, indeed in many ways this was one of the highlights of our three week vacation to Switzerland/Italy! The Torre was exquisitely decorated, light, airy, romantic, and after visiting a number of large cities, quiet and peaceful. Eating breakfast on the balcony in those lovely surroundings was breathtaking. We did visit the Cinque Terre during our stay in Mulazzo and were so glad in retrospect that we stayed at the Torre Fiorita rather than a place on the Cinque Terre. Robbie and Richard San Diego, California
Perfect home away from home in a very romantic little village. You have everything you need, it's very very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed to visit all the places Chantal suggested. You can go for a walk or relax in the house and on the terraces or enjoy the sea. A wonderful hideaway.
Hi Anja and Juerg It was lovely to have you as guests I am happy that you really enjoyed your stay! You are welcome to come back any time Best wishes to you both
What a beautiful apartment in the most charming village! This was a place of serenity and relaxation, but nearby some great places to explore. Chantal was a wonderful host, always prompt in answering my emails and helpful with suggestions for the region. It is a must to go for pizza at Bar Pizzeria "All' Isola Felice". Delicious. I highly recommend these accommodations, and most especially enjoy the terrace under the grape pergola! It was a favorite spot!
Hi Carla, thank you so much for all your compliments and lovely review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you took the opportunity to visit visit all that the area has to offer. You and your family were the perfect guests. Do come back whenever you like! Very best to you all!
Wow! What an incredibly special place tucked away in the beautiful northern village of Mulazzo. Our jaws dropped as we drove up the hill to the village. Parking at All'Isola Felice was easy and the staff there could not have been kinder (not to mention their DELICIOUS pizza). We took advantage of the proximity to Cinque Terre and spent two days along the circuit. On the following day we visited some smaller northern towns and took a tour of the winery, Il Torchio (Claudio was a fantastic host. He gave us tastes of their delicious wine and their grappa as well). We were excited to read about the history of Mulazzo and to hear that Dante was a guest in the very tower we were staying in. The town itself is very special - we awoke to church bells every morning and from the terrace of the tower got incredible views of the countryside. When you visit Mulazzo - don't forget to stop by the pub up the hill from the tower. They have tasty German beer and FANTASTIC company. We spent the evening dancing and singing karaoke with the folks of Mulazzo. All together, this trip was incredible. Thank you SO much Chantal for all your recommendations of things to do/see - and for sharing your special home with us. It was an unforgettable trip!
Hi Jessica! It was so lovely to have you and your family stay at the tower. You are the perfect guest and the people of Mulazzo are still saying what a lovely family you all were! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you were able to experience all the things that you set out to do! You are very welcome to come back any time! Vey best tp you all Chantal
A fantastic stay, even although we made a mistake and booked for one day less than we meant to. We were accommodated regardless and indeed no one even mentioned it to us, despite the inevitable inconvenience it must have caused. The setting and in particular the eagle's eye view from the top balcony was tremendous. Peaceful and quiet, but life at the local Pizzeria if you wanted it, and they couldn't do enough for us. Very good people indeed. Very fond memories of the tower and the village and would thoroughly recommend to anyone to go there.
Hi Malcolm. Thank you for your review! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the tower and I do agree that the view from the top terrace is quite something. It was so nice to have you and your family stay at the tower and I'm glad that it was possible to accomodate you for the extra night. The people of Mulazzo are indeed a very helpful and friendly bunch, in particular Floriana and Maurizio of the Pizzeria (they send their very best regards as does Natalino) You and your family are welcome to come back any time!
This is a place to make memories! It offers a wonderful opportunity to experience life in a small Italian village and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Be prepared to leave your car 200 meters or so away and enjoy the little walk up the cobblestone path that takes you into another time and space. We became regulars at the friendly local pizzeria (by the car park)where the food is terrific and inexpensive and the WIFI free. Even when the pizzeria was closed we could use the WIFI by sitting outside. A second restaurant had a SKY tv connection so we were even able to watch the Champions League final with some local supporters. The village is steeped in history and the Tower itself plays a big part in this as Chantal mentions in her description of the place. We had planned to use Mulazzo as a base to explore the region, but were so enchanted with the village that we barely ventured afield. The Tower itself is very comfortable, fully fitted up for cooking and relaxing, with lots and lots of room to find quiet nooks and curl up with one of the many great books in the library. And the Jacuzzi bath was a great gift especially since the weather was cold while we were there so relaxing in warm bubbles was almost as good as basking in sunshine might have been.. I almost forgot to mention the views, which really are breathtaking, from the snow peaks of the mountains to the lush green of the hills and valley. A highly recommended spot for a very memorable holiday.
Thank you for the enchanting experience I had the last two weeks in your tower. It had everything and was a place of rest and a nurturing environment. The grapes bursting with juice, the smell of them as they ripened in the sun, the church bells that ring the hour, the birds in the morning and the lovely sound of Italian being spoken which is musical to my ear. The beauty of the stone, the terracotta floors, and the Italian plaster finish of the walls. And the jacuzzi, and the fresh pesto from the village store and the cheese. But, the very best of all were the people including you even tho we only communicated electronically. You were always there for me and I felt so secure in that. I especially appreciated your extra efforts to secure wifi for me.
Reviews From Hosts
It was a great pleasure to have Chantal and Keith at my apartment in Malta. They were extremely social and reliable guests and have left the apartment in perfect condition and very clean. I would recommend Chantal and Keith to any host and would be looking forward to see them again in the future. I also hope they have enjoyed Malta in general, especially the sea and the beaches. Great and wonderful people.
Alex thank you so much for everything. You went out of your way to make sure we had a lovely holiday and we did! You are an amazing host and so kind and generous. We loved Malta and especially the Maltese, whom we think are the nicest and politest people in the Med! I hope to see you soon at Torre Fiorita so that I can exchange the favour. Very best wishes to you and your family. Chantal
Chantal and her husband were nice guests! Chantal is very well organized! I communicated with Chantal via Airnbnb messages and she asked about the beds in the apartment, her visit to the nearby island, and I can say we had a great correspondence. She and her husband found easily my apartment and they were quiet and nice guests. They were kind with my neighbours and they were very polite in their communication. Moreover, they left the apartment clean and tidy, and I would recommend them to every host. They were great guests and I would be very happy to welcome them again as my guests in my apartment!
Thank you Eleonora! Keith and I had a wonderful stay in your lovely clean apartment with the amazing views. We'll definitely be back!
Great guest!
Great guest! :)

I used to work with Chantal and we've grown to be friends over time. I've seen her at work and at play. She's amazing with people, very friendly, open, responsible & kind. And I know first hand the kind of pride she derives from her Torre :) I'm sure anyway staying at hers will enjoy the care she puts into everything she does and her amazing recommendations on how to get more from your trip (she knows everything about everything)
My husband, brother and sister-in-law had the pleasure of renting Torre's apartment in the Tuscan area a few years ago. Torre was extremely easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs when we rented her Tuscan Tower. She is an extremely gracious person and highly recommend her as a host. We recently had the please of meeting in person in London. She took time out of her busy schedule to show us the sights of London that the average tourist would not get to see. It truly was the highlight of our 2-week trip to the UK. It is rare that you meet someone, immediately feel comfortable and will forever call them friend. Her place in the Tuscan area is absolutely gorgeous but the stay is made that much more special through the interaction with your gracious host Torre!
A tiny scrap of paradise dropped in the Tuscan hills - and situated in the idyllic town of Mulazzo - the Torre Fiorita is the ideal base for a relaxing and stress-free Italian holiday. Within driving or train distance of anywhere you might want to go (Pisa, Florence, Siena, the Cinque Terre) but away from the mad tourist rat-race, the Torre is a gorgeously decorated home-away-from-home. The only problem...you may never want to leave!
I have known Chantal for over two years, she is an extremely unique individual always going over and beyond expectations. I have worked closely with Chantal in the past and she has worked in collaboration with me to organise events, her attention to detail is absolute perfection and class. I believe Chantal looks at the world through a positive, magical and creative lens. Chantal has the ability to understand very quickly the needs and requirements of others and is able to use the skills she has to use her initiative and assist without hesitation, whether that's her offering her help to put something right, or offering constructive advice, she has an amazing gift in helping others by evoking their subconscious minds by kindly sharing her amazing and wonderful life experiences. The qualities that really stand out are; - intuitive personality - kind human being - warm personality - Full of charisma - innovative mindset - highest standards in getting things done - reliable and punctual - Creative mindset - Honest Chantal's charm is overwhelming and her ability to always go out of her way to help others is simply admirable and valued. Rest assured if you visit the 13th Century Tower you will be stepping into a magical spectrum, decorated with love, creating an atmosphere of positivity and warmth. This is a direct reflection of the person Chantal is and more, you will be planning your next trip back there before you have left.. Trust you are in the hands of a remarkable person.
I know Chantal personally and she is a very talented, creative, warm-hearted and attentive person. This translates to how she looks after her beautiful 13th century tower. It's fantastic value for money and you will have a delightful stay you will remember forever. Not to miss! Chantal will make your stay very memorable.
We stayed at the Torre in September 2012 and had an absolutely amazing time. Chantal and Keith not only have a beautiful property, but you can feel the dolce vita emanating from this place - they have covered everything to make sure guests have a memorable visit. If you're interested in having a quiet relaxing escape, this is the place to do it. Beautiful rooms and facilities lovingly renovated in an incredible spot. Mulazzo and the surrounding area is steeped in history and a beautiful, authentic place to wander around and lounge in the sun sampling some of the local food. The views from the tower are amazing over the valley in Lunigiana. All'Isola Felice has free wifi, parking and best of all, incredible food and welcome staff. At the top of the hill (2 or 3 min walk) the other Italian restaurant is amazing too (forget the name!!). We were also able to cook our own meals at the Torre when we wanted. If you're more interested in getting out and seeing the area - Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terre, Lerici and San Terenzo are all local and Chantal and Keith were so helpful in advising us where to drive, where to take the train and what to do in each of the towns. Wineries and local culture are also abundant. We hit the beach numerous times during our stay in September. It's amazing to be able to truly escape and not come across any tourist-traps while away (and I've been all over Europe) which is what makes the Torre and Mulazzo particularly special. Brush up on some Italian (please, thank you - the niceties), but the locals are more than happy to assist even if you don't speak any at all. One of the best parts is the authentic experience. Highly recommend Chantal and Keith and their tower to anyone. Loved our stay and want to go back!!
The Tower is beautifully decorated with a serene and relaxing atmosphere. It is well situated in historic Mulazzo. You are within easy reach of Pisa and Florence and the outstanding Cinque Terre and Gulf of the Poets. The atmosphere in Mulazzo is very pleasant. The people are very happy there. It is calm and restful at night. The Tower is recommended for a romantic break or as the centre for a family holiday.
Sono stata ospite di questa torre magica e (email hidden)ravigliosa la casa, stupendi il paesino ed il panorama! Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia visitare liguria e toscana, tornandosene la sera in un'oasi di relax!

Tia Mowry dishes on the terrible twos and allowing her son to appear on reality TV
tia mowry
By Jessica Wedemeyer
Tia Mowry is fully aware how disruptive the common flu can be. Just a few days of sickness can spell disaster for the busy actress, reality-TV star, entrepreneur, wife and mother of one. So Tia teamed up with MedImmune's FluMist Quadrivalent to encourage parents to get their kids vaccinated -- and she stopped to chat with Wonderwall along the way. Keep reading to see what Tia had to say about balancing motherhood with her busy career, the latest with her 2-year-old son, Cree, with her husband, actor Cory Hardricht, and more!
RELATED: Celebrity sisters
Your son, Cree, is 2 already. How is his personality developing and what is he into now?
"He's very much like a stereotypical boy. He loves throwing things. He loves basketball because of my husband. He's constantly playing basketball with Cree. He's also very musically inclined. I know everybody says this about their kids, but my son is very good at picking up beats and sounds. If he's crying in the car, I will just put on an instrumental song that has hip-hop beats and he will snap and move his head to the rhythm and repeat the sounds. He is able to pick it up. If I don't put this kid in music class, I will be a horrible parent."

In my freetime I am a member of the Joomla Update Working Group. We are working to develop and promote upgrades from outdated versions of Joomla (1.0, 1.5, and soon 2.5).
