Over the last couple of months, much has been written about the area around Mount Pleasant's Shem Creek, including preservation of the shrimping and fishing fleet. The conversation has been generated by a parking garage proposed for the area adjacent to the creek, with the focus on the proposal's height, its location and the ultimate need for the structure.
When people think about Shem Creek, they think about the beauty of the creek with its shrimping and fishing fleet, diving birds searching for their daily meals and graceful porpoises moving in and out of the waterway into the harbor.
They think about great seafood, and they think about amazing sunsets that rival those in any other part of the country. Shem Creek has graced the cover of Southern Living and many other well-known magazines, all of them showcasing some of the things that I have mentioned. Like other areas along the coast, Shem Creek has experienced and will continue to experience development pressures that could forever destroy what makes this area special. Without quick, decisive action, the opportunity to preserve this area and create something special will disappear.
I would suggest that the town has an opportunity to do something very special in this unique area. Mount Pleasant has some of the most talented planning professionals in the country.
Elected officials have reached out time and time again to large numbers of interested citizens to craft plans and design standards for the Coleman Boulevard area, including Shem Creek. Without taking anything away from past efforts, I would propose that the town conduct a design charrette with local architects to formulate a plan for the area along Coleman Boulevard from Simmons Street to Lansing Drive that would be a design district with a maritime theme - a theme that would enhance the Shem Creek area to maintain and showcase the most precious part of what makes Mount Pleasant special.
This area deserves special treatment, because it is different.
I would further suggest that the town evaluate how accommodations taxes will be spent over the coming years, particularly with many new hotels being constructed, so that monies could be set aside to do the things that are needed to allow for parking, to provide for specific needs of the shrimping and fishing fleet and to be able to tell the history of this area that clearly defines the town for most people.
Perhaps during this period, the town could set aside any development proposals until new standards could be written for the design district.
I don't pretend to have all of the answers. Like others, I believe that our talented professionals and elected council can do this, and that our town would be forever blessed with the maintenance of an area that most towns can only dream about.

It seems like WWE Payback just ended, but we are already only two weeks away from Money in the Bank.
While the company has done a terrific job quickly building momentum and heavy interest for the important pay-per-view, there is still plenty of storyline development to be done in the coming days.
On Monday night, Raw had all of that and more.
There was buildup for the All-Stars ladder match, there was another wrinkle in the Paul Heyman-CM Punk-Curtis Axel feud and to end the night, there was a compelling champion versus champion match between John Cena and Alberto Del Rio.
Let's take a look at what went down at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa.
Quick Results
Participants in the Money in the Bank All-Stars match talk inside the ring. Randy Orton hits Kane with an RKO.
Another Wyatt family video aired.
Time to remove the veil..... Forget everything you thought was real. Next week it begins. #FollowTheBuzzards— Bray Wyatt (@WWEBrayWyatt) July 1, 2013
The Shield defeat Christian and The Usos.
Dolph Ziggler defeats Jinder Mahal.
Kane defeats Randy Orton via fast pin from special guest referee Daniel Bryan. Afterwards, Orton hit Bryan with an RKO.
Sheamus defeats Fandango via count out.
The Miz defeats Ryback after Ryback forces the referee to stop the match. Afterwards, Jericho hit Ryback with a Codebreaker.
CM Punk and Curtis Axel defeat The Prime Time Players. Axel steals the pin from Punk.
What do you think annoyed @CMPunk more - the slap on the back or the stolen pin by @RealCurtisAxel? #WWE #Raw— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) July 2, 2013
Kaitlyn defeats Alicia Fox. Afterwards, AJ Lee shows a photoshopped image of an obese Kaitlyn.
Antonio Cesaro defeats Cody Rhodes.
John Cena defeats Alberto Del Rio.
Wyatt family video ends the show.
Champion vs. Champion
To steadily build the hype of the champion versus champion match throughout the show, the company showed throwback videos of past champions. As Jim Ross pointed out, they filled an important purpose:
I LOVE these championship retrospectives on tonight's #Raw by @WWE. Can't navigate future if one doesn't understand the past.— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) July 2, 2013
The video packages were both tremendous and nostalgic, and they did a great job of showing why a champion versus champion match should be treated as prestigious.
And the match didn't disappoint.
It started out fairly slow, but it featured some impressive offense from both sides, some exciting moments and near-falls and an excited, enthralled crowd by the end.
The Alberto Del Rio @VivaDelRio always impress me bubba #raw— The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) July 2, 2013
Although the ending was slightly predictable—Ziggler distracting Del Rio so Cena could score the win—the segment overall was enjoyable and it built plenty of momentum for the Money in the Bank title matches.
Although Ryback lost to John Cena at Payback, he was able to pin the WWE champ cleanly in the first stage of hell.
Even if he wasn't going to continue the program with Cena, many figured that probably meant he was going to come out crushing opponents following the pay-per-view.
Instead, the company has him looking like a crybaby.
During his match on Monday night, The Miz attacked Ryback's leg, and after a while, Mr. Feed Me More was forced to tell the referee to stop the match. To make him look even weaker, Jericho came out and hit him with a Codebreaker.
Y2J then added insult to injury:
Had a blast on commentary tonight on #Raw! #cryback @wwe @ryback22 pic.twitter.com/pjTxcZ9dRI— Chris Jericho (@IAmJericho) July 2, 2013
And legend Mick Foley wondered what it all meant:
Stop the match? Are we watching the end of @Ryback22 or the start of something unprecedented? #Different Great @IamJericho commentary. #RAW— Mick Foley (@realmickfoley) July 2, 2013
Is this the beginning of the end for Ryback?
Whatever this means, it is at least intriguing. Ryback never really felt right as a main eventer when he was acting as an indestructible monster, and with this new wrinkle to his character, there is certainly some interest moving forward.
With some extra levels to his character, he can be a solid midcard option.

MORE than 61,000 people have taken advantage of a state government amnesty to pay about $67 million in unpaid traffic, parking and toll road fines. But authorities are still chasing another $504 million from fine dodgers.
In one case, an eastern suburbs man decided to make amends during the six-week amnesty that ended on July 31, by clearing 186 parking and traffic fines totalling $23,884.
Another man from the Sydney's east paid 62 parking fines worth $7902. A woman opted to pay $80 per fortnight for 161 outstanding parking, speeding and traffic fines totalling $16,769.
The amnesty applied to all state government fines such as traffic, parking, car registration, licence renewals, court orders and those imposed by NSW Police.
Authorities waived enforcement, or late, fees in an attempt to lure more people into clearing their debts. The fee for not paying on time is $65.
The Finance Minister, Greg Pearce, said more than 320,000 late fines, racked up by 61,000 people, will be paid as a result of the moratorium.
The government will waive more than $15 million in enforcement fees on the fines paid, or being paid off, under the moratorium.
Mr Pearce urged those with outstanding fines to settle the debt.
"The longer fines remain unpaid, the tougher the penalties will be, ranging from the suspension of a driver's licence to the garnisheeing of wages,'' he said. "The only way to get rid of a fine is to pay it, as it will eventually catch up with you and, by that stage, could cost a lot more."
Over the past year, an average of about 23,000 people a month have had their driver licences suspended for not paying outstanding fines.
Mr Pearce said it was encouraging to have so many people take advantage of the moratorium.
"This offer was all about helping people to finally clear a debt which many were just choosing to ignore or put off hoping it would just go away and be forgotten about," he said.
"There are still thousands of fines out there, probably stuffed in drawers or car glove boxes that must be paid.''
People who are unable to pay a fine all at once can arrange an instalment plan to suit personal circumstances.

To begin with, pricing. You seem to be trying to get the stupid users or something.
As it stands, most of those items are presented as overpriced with a discount. Wii games cost $50, not $60.
As for user myself, most of those games/accessories look unappealing.
For items that are decent check Metacritic.
Of all those games on the list, I own Zelda, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Call of Duty World at War.

I haven't read it yet. But I don't get pissed off.
See, there's people like us that are skeptical ... and, on the whole, we take ownership of our choices. We get annoyed with people that piss and moan when the world doesn't spin their way. That's cool. I roll my eyes and move on.
When I was a wee lass of 18 in the military, and I had attended my third commander's call, I realized that I was being indoctrinated. Big Brother wanted to instill me with a commie fear and make me neurotic, so they could make me a puppet in their scary cold war.
Know what? It's not just in politics. The machine is gonna probe and poke you, to find your weaknesses. Don't indulge them. You are far more aware than the average Jane, and you live your life. You don't just talk the talk ... you walk the walk! And people will notice, and they will ask questions. It's a quiet movement ... you don't have the wide audience that the media enjoys ... you don't have the pull of the FDA. So what?
People that want to know will seek ... will find. They will not be satisfied with what's out there for the masses.
Besides, if you stress about this, you'll start drowning in cortisol. No good! You just be true to yourself and the ripples will affect more people than you can even imagine.
best wishes =)

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Shares are up 50% this year for Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE ) even though sales have been poor. Revenue declined 10.1% from the same period a year ago. Apparently, the Street believes Adobe will recover. What does the future hold?
Not just a poor quarter
Adobe's free cash flow has been declining steadily since 2011, as shown in the image below. The reason may be its stagnant business model. It has continued to sell its software through Creative Suite products with perpetual licensing agreements.
In an attempt to offset the negative influence of its legacy business, Adobe is now shifting toward a subscription, cloud-based model called Creative Cloud.
In theory, Adobe should be on solid footing after this transition. Paid subscriptions will roll in monthly. It also opens the door to additional paid services such as storage, special updates, training, and maintenance. So far, Adobe appears to be making progress, exiting the second quarter with 700,000 paid subscriptions.
But Adobe faces two major challenges: increasing competition in the cloud market and a recent shift in technological preferences with developers rapidly moving from Adobe Flash to HTML5.
How will these challenges affect Adobe's growth.
Increasing competition
Adobe's Creative Cloud, for which subscriptions average $50 a month, faces increasing competition from at least 15 other solution providers. GIMP is free to users and Sketch competes with Adobe Fireworks for a one-time fee of $50.
Adobe's Marketing Cloud, which has so far grown only 7% this year, is struggling, although it does offer an excellent integrated marketing solution. The reason is fierce competition. The industry is still dominated by Salesforce (NYSE: CRM ) , which recently spent $2.5 billion to acquire email marketing vendor ExactTarget to further broaden its platform of offerings.
Salesforce goes beyond marketing solutions, covering every step of the process from sales automation solutions to customer relationship management. This attracts users who prefer to rely on just one cloud provider. Salesforce's business model is already based on subscriptions. And to keep its subscribers engaged, the company provides frequent updates, training, certifications, and permanent support. As a result, its revenue is recurring and can be used to finance the necessary acquisitions to keep the company dominant.
Marketo (NASDAQ: MKTO ) is another company competing in the cloud marketing arena. With fewer resources than both Adobe and Saleforce, Marketo generated revenue of $14 million in 2010, $32.4 million in 2011, and $58.4 million in 2012. That translates to 131% and 80% year-over-year growth, respectively. Conversely, Adobe's cloud marketing unit only grew 17% last year.
Marketo's products are very easy to use for marketing automation, social media, sales insight, and revenue analytics. Its products are among the least expensive in the industry. But because Marketo only has 2300 customers, its revenue growth is still not enough to generate consistent cash flow. The company had a $1.21 loss per share in 2012.
Are we approaching the end of Flash?
Web developers are moving from Adobe Flash to HTML5 because it is more suitable for mobile development. But Adobe stopped developing mobile versions of Flash nearly two years ago. Apparently Adobe felt it couldn't compete in the emerging mobile marketplace with HTML5 having some very important technological advantages. HTML5 is faster, doesn't need plug-ins and reads and stores data from the hard disk.
It wouldn't surprise me if Flash also disappeared from the desktop arena. This would negatively influence any revenue still coming in from Adobe Flash Professional.
Signals of overvaluation
Oldschoolvalue financial spreadsheets confirm that Adobe's current stock price is higher than the value its fundamentals dictate. A discounted cash flow model with a 9% discount rate, 3% terminal growth rate and 5% average cash flow growth rate for the next 10 years shows a fair value of $37 per share. This implies a 21% downside.
Final foolish thoughts
While Adobe's transition to a subscription cloud based business model brings new opportunities, it's over optimistic to assume this comes with a quick or huge growth in revenue once the transition is complete.
Adobe faces stiff competition in cloud marketing and in its Creative Cloud flagship unit. With the end of Flash looming and the effect that could have on the company, Adobe's current valuation may not be sustainable in the medium run.

Description: "Walk the Line" follows the early years in the career of American music legend Johnny Cash. The young Cash sets out on life's journey battered by his brother's accidental death and an abusive father, who blames him for the incident. His rise to fame with such hits as "A Boy Named Sue" and "Ring of Fire" is countered by his struggle with amphetamines, barbiturates and alcohol. His instability, both financial and emotional, leads to the failure of his first marriage. The few comforts of his unhappy youth had come from the radio programs of June Carter, the luminous daughter of country music's first family. When their paths cross, it's her devotion and support that becomes his salvation.

Wind Turbines
Wind Farms and Wind Turbines: A position statement from BCT
BCT supports the development of sustainable energy but, in line with the Eurobats resolutions, stresses that it is imperative that the possible harmful effects on bats and other wildlife (both direct and indirect) are taken into account before deciding on the siting of wind turbines, large and small.
The discovery of dead bats and birds underneath wind turbines in the US and in mainland Europe has led to concerns that research into the siting of these structures is not sufficiently rigorous, and that some have been erected on migration routes of bats and birds.
The siting of turbines may be an issue for bats in the UK, not only because of the risk of direct collision if turbines are placed on migration or commuting routes, but also because of displacement from foraging habitat. The positioning of mid-sized wind turbines in hedgerows is also a concern.
BCT would like to see monitoring undertaken at existing wind turbine sites and monitoring of all new turbines, whether large or small. We would also urge that full impact assessments of the potential effect on bats are undertaken, and for post-installation monitoring to be made a planning condition. BCT hopes that future updates of BWEA's guidance on wind farm development and nature conservation and guidance from SNCOs will reflect the need to consider bats in the planning of wind farms.
BCT welcomes the decision by Defra, the Renewables UK and Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) to fund a study to determine whether British bat populations are at risk from onshore wind turbines.
The Defra funded research project is being carried out by Fiona Mathews at Exeter University.
Bats and wind turbine research
In March 2009 Defra commissioned the University of Bristol and BCT to deliver Phase 1 of a research project on bats and wind turbines: 'Determining the impact of wind turbines on bat populations in Great Britain'. This initial phase established what information and research is currently available on bats and wind turbines, and developed a research protocol to be taken forward into Phase 2. Phase 2 of the project began in July 2009 and comprises a three-year project gathering data on bat activity and bat fatalities at wind farms in England, Scotland and Wales.

Ayrton Senna da Silva (March 21, 1960 (birth time source: Astrodatabank, BC) May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian triple Formula One world champion.

I am always looking for the next step, a different world to go into, areas where I have not been before. Its lonely driving a Grand Prix car, but very absorbing. I have experienced new sensations and I want more. That is my excitement, my motivation. Starkly con...

Biography of René Descartes
René Descartes (March 31, 1596 February 11, 1650), also known as Renatus Cartesius (latinized form), was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy", and the "Father of Modern Mathematics", much of subsequent western philosophy is a reaction to his writings, which have been closely studied from his time down to the present day. His influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system being used in plane geometry and algebra is named after him, and he was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution. Descartes frequently contrasted his views with those of his predecessors. In the opening section of the Passions of the Soul, a treatise on the Early Modern version of what are now com...

*sigh*...there is just never enough time...
I had some great finds this weekend. I will be loading the Etsy store throughout the week, but I wanted to show you some "big" things that caught my fancy, too! I used my old point-and-shoot camera this weekend, so my apologies for my pics not being the best. But still, there was some gorgeous eye candy along the road and I just had to show you!
First up, an antique European armoire that I fell in *LOVE* with. The price was unbelievable! I am seriously thinking about going back up and buying this old girl for my dining room.
I have always had a love for old, raw pine wood. It reminds me of driftwood.

Three children, born in very quick succession. Often two of them are the exact same age for a short period of time. Derogatorily named for Irish Catholics who historically bred without regard to timing and birth control, but it happens to anyone.
"There goes that Canadian chick with her Irish triplets."

Can you define these popular missing words?
Three children born of a mother one right after another. A very derogatory term, the slur was actually a triple-whammy, implying that the Irish were more likely to bear children in quick succession because of the Catholic Church's proscription of birth control, less likely to restrain themselves from procreating, and unable to understand the proper meaning of the terms "twins" and "triplets."
While I can never call myself a triplet mom, I had three kids in a row and refer to them as Irish Triplets.

It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
After gaining nearly 1% yesterday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) saw a repeat performance as shares moved up 128 points, or 0.9%, today on similar news. Investor continued to bid shares up, reacting to improving economic reports out of China and easing tensions in Syria.
In China, industrial output rose 10.4%, coming off yesterday's strong export figures, while retail sales rose 13.4% and fixed-asset investment jumped more than 20%. The Shanghai Composite followed suit, gaining 1.2% to hit a three-month high. Meanwhile, oil prices fell more than 2% as investors applauded recent steps to prevent a U.S.-led strike on the war-torn country. A Russian plan to have the international community take control of the Syrian government's chemical stockpile in lieu of an attack appears to be gaining traction on its way to being presented to the UN Security Council. President Obama will address the nation on Syria tonight.
Elsewhere, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) was stealing headlines as it unveiled its new iPhone 5S and lower-priced 5C. Investors seemed unimpressed, however, as shares of the tech giant finished down 2.3%, falling after the 5C's $549 price tag was released. The 5S will include an improved camera, a fingerprint sensor, and a faster processor and is available in a gold-colored case. But the much-rumored 5C was released at a price point above expectations, higher than older models such as the iPhone 4, which the market seemed to view as a missed opportunity to target emerging markets. Despite the hype, today's launch feels notably cooler than the one a year ago, and it seems Apple will have to develop a new category as it has in the past to wow the market once again.
On the Dow today, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) was the blue chips' best performer, gaining 2.3%, though the increase was unrelated to Apple's flop. In fact, the Windows maker seems to be planning a presentation of its own as it invited members of the press to an event on September 23, when the company is expected to reveal its second generation of Surface tablets. After the first line had to be marked down significantly to sell off excess inventory, the release offers Microsoft a shot at redemption, which could prove timely with investors apparently disappointed in Apple's latest update.
Finally, the Dow announced it was getting its biggest makeover in nearly10 years as it will jettison Bank of America, Alcoa, and Hewlett-Packard and bring Nike, Visa, and Goldman Sachs into its 30-member index. The move seemed designed to remove lower-priced stocks that don't have much effect on the price-weighted index. Forcing out Alcoa and HP makes sense as the aluminum maker has by far the lowest market cap on the index and the PC maker is on the decline, while the addition of Nike represents a unique company in the index as an apparel maker. However, ditching B of A in favor of Goldman seems a bit shortsighted as the commercial bank is likely a better reflection of the economy than the investment house, and the addition of Visa also seems suspicious since its business is nearly identical to that of American Express, already a member of the exclusive club. The decision will take effect on September 23.
With Apple's much-anticipated iPhone reveal now in the history books, investors are sure to have plenty of questions about Cupertino's next steps. Well, the answers are simpler than you think, and The Motley Fool is sharing them in a free report titled "5 Secrets to Apple's Future." Inside, we outline critical information every Apple investor must know, so click here now for your free report.

GOOD EVENING: What an incredible finish by the victorious Taghrooda in the Investec Oaks.
It just shows the intrigue of the Oaks and Derby when one of the main contenders can really take to the occasion and become a new racing superstar within minutes - while others such as the favourite Marvellous can find Epsom Downs Racecourse too challenging.
Taghrooda, the daughter of Sea the Stars, was the third favourite before the race.
FLOODS: Just before we leave tonight, if you were affected by the floods in Surrey it would be worth following our reporter Natasha Salmon on Twitter this evening.
She is tweeting live from a floods meeting at Spelthorne Leisure Centre.
The parents of Chertsey boy Zane Gbangbola who died during the February floods are present at the meeting.
Here's some coverage so far...
Kye Gbangbola has asked the panel to answer questions as "constructively" "simply" "positively" and "helpfully". #bigfloodmeeting— Natasha Salmon (@Natasha_Herald) June 5, 2014
Q1: what are future flood plans? EAs David Murphy talks through the River Thames Scheme #bigfloodmeeting pic.twitter.com/wsKiJ5Y0aa— Natasha Salmon (@Natasha_Herald) June 5, 2014
Nicole and Kye Gbangbola are at the meeting. Reps from the police, fire and council have expressed sympathies for their loss of Zane— Natasha Salmon (@Natasha_Herald) June 5, 2014
As we reported today, a petition has been created calling for a public debate into the death of Chertsey child Zane Gbangbola during the February floods.
The online petition, addressed to the Environment Agency, Spelthorne Borough Council and Prime Minister David Cameron, has received around 1,800 signatures within 24 hours of going live.
Hosted on the website 38 Degrees, the campaign is aiming to hit the key 100,000-signature threshold needed to trigger a debate in Parliament as to what caused the death of seven-year-old Zane at his home in Thameside, Chertsey, on February 8.
Zane died from an unspecified illness, believed to be related to floodwater in the family home.
That's all from me this evening. We're back tomorrow from 6.30am. Thanks for joining me.

TRAVEL: All lanes have been re-opened following after a coach and three cars were involved in an accident on the M3 London bound between junction 3 Bagshot and junction 2 M25.

On Monday (June 2), the first day back after the half-term holiday, parents said their children were being turned away at the gates and complained they had little time, or money, to buy the amended gear.
Rebecca Phillips, 32, of Dolphin Road, Sunbury, who has two children at the school, said: "There were loads of parents going mad. I am absolutely outraged by it, absolutely fuming.
"I was supposed to be going to work but because both of my children got sent home, I have lost a day's money."

TOP STORY: The story of pupils getting turned away from school because they were wearing the wrong uniform is by far one of the most popular on our site at the moment.
Letters dated May 21 were sent out by the Matthew Arnold School - two days before it broke up for half term - giving notice of a new clampdown on uniforms.
It said that after the break any student not in correct uniform would receive detention – with straight cut trousers having to be worn.
The uniform rules excluded skin-tight, 'skinny' or denim-style trousers.
Michelle Bloomfield, of Canopus Way, Stanwell, said: "I can't afford it, I have two kids at the school.
"And if I don't give them new uniforms, they get a detention each day until it is fixed.
"Why didn't they do this during the summer when we have six weeks' notice?
"Doing it over half-term only gave us two weeks."
ACCIDENT: The road remains closed following a serious accident on the A245 Kingston Road in Leatherhead, and is expected to be ongoing for some time.
It happened between the one way system and the Plough Roundabout, near to Bay Tree Avenue.

Pros: They smell nice and don't look bad. They come with a ipod adapter thing too which adds to the value.
They're very very affordable!
and loud as hell not bad if ur far away but nothing to really Enjoy.
2 stars for the value! and -3 for being lied to by everyone else
Cons: They're loud as hell but missing all the bass/sound quality...
reading reviews miss-informed me to buy these for my girlfriend for christmas because she liked my Dell sound system (11 years old!!!)
I haven't even wrapped them for her yet. I wanted to try them on my sound card so it's a fair comparison but they blow. They totally blow.. Not for the price but for what everyone else is saying no don't listen they suck
My expectations aren't even high! im comparing them to my lovely basic dell 2 satellites and 1 sub woofer system.
.. *trys new speakers .. hmm nothing spectacular :\ kinda messy and my songs don't sound the same.
*then plugs in old ones & the sound just blows them away..
Let me tell you I wanted to be jealous of her new speakers but it really is disappointing they merely compare..The bass sucks even up high it can't balance into the overloud satellites.
lol newegg reviews must be posted by old geezers or people who dont know a thing. I want what their smoki

A handsome, headless suit of steel armor flexes its arms while dissolving into sketchy lines at the bottom of the torso. The artist repeated an arm on the right side of the sheet, adding more detail of the elbow covering. Drawing from memory instead of copying exactly all the intricate details of an original, he drew various details on one side only, such as the multiple rows of scrolling on the left shoulder and arm.
Although these studies do not match any known figures of men in armor by Paolo Veronese, either as portraits or within larger compositions, scholars suspect that Veronese or an artist close to him worked on this sheet. As in known Veronese drawings, this armor is presented as if it contains a gesturing man rather than as a uninhabited still-life form. The diagonal line of white highlights across the shoulder and stomach also closely correspond to a Veronese portrait of a man in armor. The rather broad, suggestive modeling, with sharper, darker chalk lines for emphasis, resembles other drawings by Veronese. With few other works for comparison, scholars remain hesitant about a firm attribution.

"This is just a note to thank you personally and Mortgage Supply Co for looking after my funding needs.
I am impressed with the level of professionalism, one-on-one communication and results caused by using your services.
Your candid never fail attitude gives me the confidence that I can achieve my goals as I am backed by your contributions.
Anyone out there looking for funding, needs to seriously consider David and the team as they will make the difference to your success"

"After being told by the biggest Mortgage broker chain in NZ that they would be unable to help us get finance, we spoke with Dave. He was great to deal with and also very friendly. Within a week Dave had mortgage approvals for us through two 1st tier lenders, and was able to negotiate great reductions in rates and associated fees. Due to the time and effort put in by Dave and his staff we now have a house we love and are looking forward to raising our two little girls there"
