As I sit here writing this my toes are cold. Brrrrrrr…I do love the winter, but I can't stand when little guys are chilly! This really is something I think about when I'm out buying ladies shoes during the colder months. I know I live in L.A., but I do a lot of traveling where the temperatures tend to drop. We're only a week into winter and I only own one pair of winter boots…that's definitely going to have to change!
In fact, I'm heading up north this weekend and out to Detroit in a few weeks. I know it's going to be cold and all I can think about is my poor frozen feet.
Will I be comfortable? Will my feet be warm?
Those are my major concerns at this point! LOL! I haven't even begun to think about my outfits. I guess it's time to find me some great quality ladies leather boots of course! I love having a reason to spend money on shoes. It's all for the feet people!
When I go shopping for that perfect pair of boots to keep my feet warm there are a few things I tend to keep in mind…
- Material: Boots come in all kinds of materials like leather, vegan/faux leather, rubber, Gortex, sheepskin and more. Some are more weather resistant than others. The faux leather boots will be a lower quality. Make sure you do your research.
- Lining: Most winter weather boots will be lined with fur or shearling. This can add a little comfort, but a lot of warmth. If you're that serious you can even buy your own liners for your boots. Just make sure you test it out first, your boots might not have the room for the extra lining.
- Price: I'm not going to lie, prices will range from low to high. The faux leather boots will probably be the most inexpensive, while the Gortex and leather/sheepskin boots will be cost a lot more. Make sure to price check!
- Style: This is my favorite part…there are tons of styles of winter boots to choose from. Ankle, wedges, motorcycle, snow, mid-calf, knee, and riding boots are only a few out there. When it comes to color, brown and black are most popular in the leather department. But, I know that snow boots can range in color.
- Size: This will also range and don't worry, there are a few wide widths out there as well.
I hope you found these tips a little helpful and your feet will bask in warm yummy boots this winter!
Do you have any tips for choosing that perfect pair of winter boots?

Tourism signs
In between all the regular road and traffic signs notifying, directing and cautioning drivers, you'll come across a set of signs aimed specifically at tourists. These South African tourism signs are designed to direct and guide visitors to tourist facilities while on self-drive excursions around the country.
South African tourist signs are coloured white on brown and are mostly trapezoidal in shape. They indicate the location of attractions, facilities, services and activities of interest to tourists. This includes accommodation, where B&B, for example, indicates a bed and breakfast establishment; a caravan denotes a caravan park; a tent signifies a campsite; a house symbolises a guest house; and a bed indicates a hotel, motel or inn.
Aside from accommodation, tourism signs in South Africa also indicate lookout points, filling stations, restaurants, take-away food stops, hiking trails, historical battlefields, rest areas, and picnic spots. A host of facilities are also pointed out through these signs, from horse racing and golf courses to beaches and animal farms. All of these signs are easily identified by a corresponding image.
The South African tourism signs you'll want to pay particular attention to are the tourism route markers. These rectangular brown signs display tourism route names like Midlands Meander, for example. They also indicate the direction in which you should drive to follow the route. Smaller markers along the way indicate the continuation of the route while signs with the route image and the word 'End' underneath indicate the end of the route.
Tourism routes may also be identified by brown signs with a yellow 'T' and a number next to it, displayed alongside or above images such as an artist's palette (arts and crafts route), winding road (scenic drive route) or grapes and a wine glass (wine route).

this summer i was gonna try to get a contest going at my beach
i already have a live band ready to play
and im gonna try to make it good
anyone interested?
. . . scheduling a band is not a high priority for planning a surf contest. It might be a nice add-on, but plan the event first, and the rest will likely follow, unless of course it's Bruce Springsteen and the EStreet boyz who will draw your surfing crowd. Check with your local ESA organization first. There's a lot more to doing a contest than you might imagine.
The first thing I would suggest is talking to the local surf shops to see if you can get some support in running your contest. Getting give aways, and getting some sponsorship help. Then, you'll need to look into insurance for the event, and getting permission to run the event at your beach.
Outside of these things, the toughest part of running a good contest on the east coast is getting good surf - especially in the summer. I ran some contests several years ago, and we had a 4 weekend waiting period. And we ended up scoring decent to very good surf for all 3 of our events. But, if you choose one day and do all or nothing, then you can of course make it happen no matter what, just like the ESA has to do for a lot of their contests.
You must understand the complexity of a contest. I ran comps with swellinfo and it is not easy and it is very tiresome. We gave away a couple thousand dollars in gifts, clear glass trophies that were sick, and we scored waves that dished out huge manuvers! If you are going to do some half crap event, don't do it at all. Go all out and try to find a new way to evolve whats going on in the surf world. Take a look at the Da Hui Back Door shoot out going on in Hawaii right now. The format is insain. Bruce Irons might have won the event and he quoted, "this is the sickest event I have ever been a part of!" When someone of great status in the Mid-atlantic says that about your event you will feel good about what your doing.
I agree with OB. If you want to get people excited about another contest, make it different and exciting, and big. Or else you'll put a ton of work into it and it will just be another same old surf contest. And, when your ready, we can hype it up on Swellinfo with some banners and stuff.
where are you looking to have it Jersey?
You and some of the locals having a surf off is one thing. Getting city permits, people to sponsor the event, insuring the contest, and all the other bull**** that goes along with a public gathering, might be more than you think. PS: Make sure you pick a good spot, I'm sure the locals wouldn't want you bringing unwanted attention to their "secret" spots; that are already crowded.
There isn't really a contest worthy spot in Lavallette. Just a bunch of average beach breaks. I would look to more popular spots like Casino Pier, Jenks, etc. where you already have a large tourist crowd to attract as spectators. Not to mention you'll get more people entering for a chance to surf those normally crowded spots with only a 1 - 3 other guys. If you're just looking to help plan a fun event that revolves around surfing you might want to email the guy who is organizing the Fish Fry down on LBI. Maybe your band could play that.
thanks for all the help
im definitely going to try to get this thing going
and it would be sick if swellinfo could help me out with some banners and stuff
if you have any other ideas or advice
let me know
I have been thinking about a surf comp for a while and one of the things you have to do is cater the competition to the conditions, not the surfers. Have a "Shore Break Shoot Out" in which the biggest pit and air wins in nasty heavy shorbreak. No Scoring, No judging, Video the whole thing so you can have a playback if need be. Have a "Third Sand-Bar Power surf MARGATE" where the surfers go totally 80's-no airs, but big power turns win and groveling is not allowed. Or better yet, MY Idea that I am throwing out there for you to have a registration period of 3 months and have a "Summer Surf Off Video CHALLENGE!" Here is the Deal. No Contest day AT ALL. All the surfers that register have to put together a video of local documented footage that has proof of local scenes. Art work, Choice of music, and presentation will be judged in front of a LIVE AUDIENCE (with BEER) sometime after the Hurricane season and everyone whatches and everyone judges (The video can be 3-5 minutes long. CASH PURSE is split between videographer/surfer and you could have every ligit surf company there to give away prizes and sell stuff. Local shops will love it. NO ONES SECRET SPOT WILL BE given away, and its a contest of Desire, COMITTMENT, Artist, Selection, and teamates. I bet that will get things rolling! DO IT and you will have one big ass party along with it!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/5/2013 (1560 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brian Pallister used a small clothing store in Whyte Ridge this morning to draw attention to the damage an increase to the PST may cause to small businesses and their customers.
Pallister's Progressive Conservatives have used all the tactical measures they can muster to slow, if not stall, the NDP's legislative agenda this spring in response to the government's plan to hike the provincial sales tax to eight per cent on July 1. It means the government may not be able to pass a bill in the House that would eliminate the need for a referendum on the tax increase by the time the tax hike takes effect.
This morning, Pallister held a news conference at Peppertree Fashions on Scurfield Boulevard.
Owner Connie Hall said a PST increase can only harm business in what is already an ultra-competitive market.
"It's a tough market out there. Four Winnipeg fashion retailers have already gone out of business over the last year. Any addition to the PST will only drive more business south of the border," said Hall, whose store caters to women age 40 and older.
Tammy Jensen, part-owner of an area greenhouse, said she is worried that a late spring plus a PST hike will harm sales and force her to employ fewer people.
Her McGillvray Boulevard business is looking at covering the PST on sales in July to counter the negative effects of the tax hike.
Pallister said the PST increase could act as a tipping point for some small businesses. Not only will it make their goods more expensive, but the same businesses will have to pay the higher tax on the products they buy, increasing their costs.
He said it's not too late for the government to do the right thing and drop the tax hike.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Despite hitting the pool in competition less than 24 hours after a previous competition, the Saint Leo men's swim team showed resiliency as the Lions dominated host Rollins College behind a 185-69 victory in Sunshine State Conference action on Saturday afternoon.
Swimming in a long-meet form as opposed to what Saint Leo fans are more familiar with at the home meets, the Lions claimed individual and relay victories in 12 of the 16 events that the Saint Leo men's team participated in.
Individual finishes based on results from the Rollins meet will be added on Sunday.
After a busy couple of weeks, the Lions will hit the road for their next meet as they travel to Tampa on November 15. Saint Leo will face the Spartans in a Sunshine State Conference meet starting at 3:30 p.m. in Tampa.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the eyes of many Winnipeggers, Mayor Sam Katz is a politician who broke a campaign promise to not raise property taxes. In reality, that's not the case.
During the 2010 mayoral race, Katz promised to do everything in his power to avoid a property-tax increase. In an effective bit of campaign messaging, he did not actually promise to maintain the freeze.
So when the city raised frontage levies in 2011 and then property taxes in 2012, some voters felt betrayed by Katz -- who has now joined the battle against the Selinger government's proposed provincial-sales-tax hike.
When Winnipeggers hear Katz complain the province is ignoring the infrastructure crisis facing the city, they can be excused if they don't accept the message. The irony is, for all of his flaws as a municipal leader, Katz is actually right.
Winnipeg does face an infrastructure-funding crisis, but it would be naive of Katz to believe the province will turn around and do something about it just because he spends a week trying to embarrass the NDP for what really is a failure of all three levels of government.
Almost every municipality in Canada suffers from the same problem: They barely have the operating funds to maintain their existing roads, bridges, buildings, water pipes and transit corridors and thus cannot afford to borrow money to replace them or build new ones.
Winnipeg's situation is particularly dire because of its low density and unique environmental situation. Spread out across a relatively large area for its population, it has more roads and sewers and pipes to maintain. The freeze-thaw cycles associated with the world's second-most-variable climate, next to Central Asia, creates an additional maintenance burden.
There's also the under-publicized matter of the waste-water upgrade ordered to reduce nutrient flows into Lake Winnipeg -- a massive project that may eventually cost the city $4 billion, once you factor in the combined cost of upgrading sewage-treatment plants, replacing combined sewers and burying stormwater-retention tanks.
Even without any additional help from Broadway or Ottawa, Winnipeg's water and waste department could pay for any upgrades it likes by simply continuing to raise water and sewer rates. This is annoying but entirely doable, even as the city siphons off phoney profits every year in the form of an unfair dividend.
But there are other major headaches looming that have no financial support whatsoever. Together, they cost additional billions.
Some time over the next couple of years, the city must decide whether to repair the Louise Bridge, replace it with a new link between Point Douglas and Elmwood or realign a brand-new bridge with Nairn Avenue. The price for any of these options may be well over $100 million. A new Arlington Bridge, also nearing the end of its life, may also cost $100 million or more.
City transportation managers deliberately chose not to even estimate how much either bridge will cost when they unveiled the Transportation Master Plan in 2011. But they did attach figures to some of the projects that appeared on yet another wish list unveiled by Katz this week.
In 2011 dollars, extending Bishop Grandin Boulevard from Lagimodiere to Fermor Avenue would cost $80 million. Widening Kenaston Boulevard from Ness to Taylor Avenue would cost $129 million. Extending Chief Peguis Trail from Main Street to Route 90 would cost $240 million.
The mayor didn't even mention the second phase of the Southwest Transitway, pegged at $350 million, or a $174-million East Transitway. That's because rapid transit would be the first project he would jettison if he doesn't get more cash from other levels of government.
It's fair to say the Katz administration missed a revenue opportunity by freezing property taxes for so long. It's equally fair to criticize the Harper government for shaving two points off the GST and the Doer/Selinger government for squandering Manitoba's pre-recession surpluses.
But no one can change the past. All three levels of government must start working with each other to solve the mess we're in, instead of squabbling like little babies.

Andrew Sullivan, Domestic Foreigner
The Atlantic is telling the world its own Andrew Sullivan is the 9th most influential commentator in the United States, which is hogwash (or did I miss the nation following Andrew Sullivan's obsession with Sarah Palin's last pregnancy?).
The Atlantic's often-silly list (Paul Krugman is #1!) is not completely without value, however, as it provides a cautionary tale of how foolish we can look when we pretend there is no such thing as a conflict of interest.
But back to Andrew Sullivan.
Why has a man who is not a citizen of the United States been commenting on U.S. domestic policy for the last couple of decades as if he had a citizen's stake in the nation? As Robert Stacy McCain, Ace, Patterico, Ann Althouse, Glenn Reynolds and others have reported (somewhat incidentally, given the more interesting scandal with intriguing implications to which their attention was primarily directed), after a couple of decades of telling us how to arrange our domestic affairs (in more ways than one), Sullivan's retained his foreign citizenship, at least until whenever his upcoming citizenship hearing is.
Way back in the days when Andrew Sullivan was still a 20-something toiling for the New Republic, I took a phone call from a pollster during a major British election while at a friend's house in London. As I was keenly interested in the outcome of the election, I was sorely tempted to assist my favored candidate with a miniscule poll bump. But I kept my opinions to myself and told the pollster, that, as I am an American, I have no business influencing Britain's internal political processes as if I were a British subject.
Sullivan took a different course.
He has been happy to tell Americans how to vote while owing his allegiance to a foreign power. (I don't see a disclaimer on the linked page anywhere, do you?) A bio of Sullivan I found in a source he presumably approved (an employer, not the often-fictional Wikipedia) doesn't mention his citizenship either way (beyond the fact that he was born and raised in England, a fact he does mention reasonably often), but it does say he testified before the U.S. Congress on domestic legislation as early as 1996. He may have testified as a neutral expert and taken no position on the legislation, but seeing as how the bill was the Defense of Marriage Act, I'm not going to bet on it. And an article Sullivan penned for the October Atlantic entitled "Dear President Bush" is topped by a paragraph including the phrase "our nation's history" (referring to the United States of America), starts with Sullivan saying to the most recent President Bush, "I supported your presidential campaign in 2000, as I did your father's in 1988," and includes the words "the America I love and have made my home."
I ask you, are these activities and phrases that could lead a reasonable reader to believe Andrew Sullivan, domestic commentator, had become an American? And was advising us as one?
Would a little disclaimer once in a while of the I'm-telling-you-how-to-vote-but-be-aware-if-I-ever-get-drafted-it-won't-be-the-U.S.-Army's-unform-I-wear variety really have gone amiss? Because the team a writer is playing for actually is important information for a reader to know.
Next time I'm in London I suppose I'll answer the pollster (though given that the two biggest parties these days are both run by climate-deluded NHS vote whores, I can't imagine endorsing either one of them).
So what if I have no allegiance to the Queen?

Since making those Shrove Tuesday buns last week, I have been anticipating to make the ultimate Scandi pancake for the actual Shrove Tuesday, which is today. Also known as Pancake Day, today truly is a celebration of all things sweet and indulging, including us women as it today also happens to be the International Women's Day!
This master of an idea to pile up the pancakes to make a cake is not my original, as the summer-loving Scandis all over Scandinavia love making this cake in the midst of summer, especially when they are spending their well deserved summer days at their holiday houses. Browsing through my mother's old recipe cards from the early 70's I found a version of this cake, much heavier of course, as I've lightened it up a bit.
I really can't think of a better way to celebrate pancakes and all the beautiful women in the world! This one is for all of you!
Pancake cake
(Serves 4)
(Makes 7 small pancakes)
250 ml milk
100g white, unbleached spelt flour
2 large free-range eggs
75 ml milk, extra
tiny pinch of salt
1 tbsp olive oil
Berry cream
250g smooth low-fat ricotta
200g frozen berries, thawed
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
1 heaped tbsp raw honey
1/2 cup berries, extra, to serve
icing sugar, to serve
To make the pancakes, whisk together the milk and the flour until smooth. Add the eggs, extra milk, salt and olive oil and whisk until smooth. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat and cook the pancakes one by one until golden. Set aside to cool.
Mix the vanilla and the honey into the ricotta and stir in the berries.
To assemble, place a pancake on a platter, top with a spoonful of berry cream and spread evenly. Continue to layer the pancakes and the cream until finished. Top with the extra berries and decorate with icing sugar.
Happy Shrove Tuesday!

Toledo coach wary of Florida's strength
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 6:17 p.m.
In his team's first-ever trip to The Swamp, Toledo coach Matt Campbell is not expecting to see last season's Gators.
Toledo at Florida
WHEN: Saturday, 12:21 p.m.
TV: SECN (WOGX in Gainesville)
Radio: AM-850, 103.7 FM
While the Rockets' fellow non-BCS conference teams Bowling Green and Louisiana Lafayette forced Florida into come-from-behind wins a year ago, Campbell won't let his players count on seeing another sputtering UF offense in their season opener Saturday at 12:21 p.m.
"I think we're going to get a completely different Florida team than last year," Campbell said. "First time offensive coordinator last year, first time quarterback starting, and I think that coach (Will) Muschamp did such a great job. What a great record they had with so many young guys and so many changes in the program."
Instead, Campbell is looking for his own returning weapons off a 9-4 team, headlined by senior All-MAC running back David Fluellen, to lead an offense returning nine starters this season.
Though injuries and illness have the Gators entering the weekend missing four potential starters, including sophomore tailback Matt Jones, Campbell is anticipating Florida will find production from backups Mack Brown, Mark Herndon and Valdez Showers.
"I know from their entire running back stable that they've got guys, not just Matt, that can run the ball with extreme success," Campbell said. "Then you look at Jeff (Driskel) in the quarterback spot, and you see how dynamic of a runner he can be when he runs the football."
Campbell, the second-youngest FBS coach at 33, returns four starters from a rushing defense that tied for 78th in the nation last season with 182.3 yards per game allowed. In Campbell's inaugural season with Toledo, the Rockets opened 8-1 before losing three of their last four games.
"At the end of the day, you look at how they've run the football at Florida over at least last year, there's a lot of guys touching the football and it wasn't just Matt Jones," Campbell said. "More than anything you've got to prepare how you're going to defend against that really talented offensive line and all the different formations and the tempos that they run at you."
Inside Toledo
*Toledo has not played a school from the SEC. The Rockets are making up for that by playing back-to-back games against SEC foes, at Florida on Saturday and at Missouri on Sept. 7.
*At 33 years old, Toledo's Matt Campbell is the second-youngest head coach in the FBS, one year older than Western Michigan's P.J. Fleck.

Dr. Stacy Lomeli, D'95 and Former Member of Faculty, Passes Away
Dr. Stacy Lomeli (1968-2014), who received her DDS from the UCSF School of Dentistry in 1995 and who was a member of the school's Faculty of General Dentistry from 1995 to 2006, passed away in January 2014 following a long illness.
"I am so very sad to be passing on this information -- it is a great loss" said Dr. Sheila Brear, Chair of the Division of Clinical General Dentistry, in an e-mail to Dean John D.B. Featherstone and other members of school community.
Dr. Lomeli began her teaching career at UCSF after graduation, also going into private practice as a general dentist. She ventured into forensic dentistry with additional training at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda, MD.
Her academic career continued in 2006 at the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) School of Dentistry, where she was a member of the faculty practice, sat on the Admissions Committee, was an instrumental contributor to the reorganization of the student clinics, and was charged with leading a Group Practice of dental students.
Dr. Lomeli is survived by her husband Peter (married 2004), her son PJ (born 2009), as well as her parents, Sandra and Joseph Lomeli, mother and father in law Dee and Pete Peterson, sister Michelle Stroud, and brother Brian Lomeli.
A CaringBridge.org page has been established where messages can be left for her family (search: Stacy Lomeli/Peterson), and a memorial service is scheduled for January 27th at the West Linn Lutheran Church in Oregon.
A memorial service is expected to be held in the Bay Area at a date and time to be announced by the family.

The First Shinobi World War, or simply the Shinobi World War, was the first of the great wars that involved the majority of shinobi villages and countries. There are few reliable surviving records of this war, but the experiences of this war led to the birth of the tactics that still form the cornerstone of warfare. It ended with an armistice treaty, but only after all of the Five Great Nations had been seriously damaged.
The war started not long after the system of one shinobi village per country was established by the founding of Konohagakure. To try and maintain a balance of power, the First Hokage divided the tailed beasts among the other five villages when he began his peace talks with them. However, this was not enough to prevent the war, and may have actually increased hostilities.
The Second Hokage died during this war, while fighting against Kumogakure's Kinkaku Force, sacrificing himself as a decoy in order for his subordinates to escape. Before doing so he selected Hiruzen Sarutobi for the position of Third Hokage.

Kandinsky 1911-1913
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.25-06-2012 12:00:00 25-04-2013 12:00:00 America/New_York Kandinsky 1911-1913 | Closed Thurs. Perhaps more than any other 20th-century painter, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. Hilla Rebay--artist, art advisor, and the museum's first director--promoted nonobjective painting above all other forms of abstraction. She was particularly inspired by the work and writing of Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstraction, who believed that the task of the painter was to convey his own inner world, rather than imitate the natural world. The museum's holdings have grown to include more than 150 works by Kandinsky, and focused exhibitions of his works are presented in the Kandinsky Gallery on Annex Level 3. The current installation, Kandinsky 1911-1913, highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist made great strides toward complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, On the Spiritual in Art (1911, though dated 1912). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc that were exhibited alongside the work of Kandinsky and others in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich. http://www.nymetroparents.com/2015neweventinfo.cfm?id=113116 Solomon R.

Did you know?
In South Africa, many couples register a civil marriage, conduct a traditional marriage, and may have a church wedding too.
Few places in South Africa convey a sense of occasion like the wedding destinations of the Northern Cape.
Transected by the Orange River, the province is vast and varied. Farmers grow cotton, dates and grapes on sprawling farms, lions roam the red sands of the Kalahari, and the historic towns that dot the landscape embody the spirit of this uncompromising, yet hospitable land.
The province's dramatic geography provides an ideal backdrop for your celebration. While many Northern Cape wedding venues are remote, you will experience exceptional hospitality and, with careful planning, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your guests.
The province's desert landscapes are among the most remote and romantic places to get married in South Africa.
These venues include luxury lodges in exclusive game reserves, like !Xaus Lodge in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where members of your wedding party will feel like the only people in the world.
The Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is another venue characterised by vast skies and plentiful wildlife. Other remote and wild Northern Cape wedding venues include the Richtersveld National Park, Namaqualand and the immense plains of the Tankwa Karoo.
You could also celebrate your wedding in the lush heart of the Green Kalahari. Here, the Kuruman Valley, made famous by a bountiful natural spring that delivers fresh water to the town's residents, offers a number of options. Apart from various farms and lodges, it is home to the famous Moffat Church, completed in 1838.
The Sun River Kalahari Lodge and the River Ridge Resort in Upington make the most of the dramatic potential of the Orange River. Some riverside venues, like Ou Skool Guesthouse, are situated on working wine, date or cotton farms, with plentiful local produce available for your reception.
The Vaal River also provides a number of scenic spots for a wedding, where venues like the Broadwater estate are within easy reach of the Kimberley's services and amenities.
You may want to say your wedding vows in a historic city like Kimberley, where a venue like the stately Kimberley Club, which opened in 1818, will lend your celebration a certain gravitas.
In its long history, the club has hosted royalty, diplomats as well as central figures from the city's time as South Africa's diamond mining capital. You can even arrange to say your vows on a platform with views over the Big Hole, famous for yielding more than 2 700kg of diamonds; or at one of the guest lodges close by.
Other small Northern Cape towns like Colesberg and Port Nolloth also make attractive venues for smaller weddings, but venue options may be more limited.
Travel tips & Planning info

Email: email@example.com
How to get here
There is a good road network through the Northern Cape, as well as airports in Kimberly and Upington that connect to larger centres in the country. Note that distances in this province are vast.
Best time to visit
Note that in December/January, afternoon temperatures in the Northern Cape are very hot − usually in the upper 30 degrees Celsius. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, especially at night. In spring, areas of the province that fall into the winter rainfall area are especially beautiful as the arid landscapes come to life in a riot of flowers.
Around the area
The Northern Cape has a beautiful coastline and a number of national parks to visit. The area is also known for its fine examples of San rock art, abundant deposits of semi-precious stones and wildlife.
What will it cost
South Africa's favourable exchange rate means weddings offer good value for money.
Length of stay
Weddings and honeymoons in South Africa offer great opportunities to turn your special day into a holiday for you and your guests.
Where to stay
Even venues that aren't marketed as wedding venues may be equipped to host your ceremony and reception, as well as provide or recommend accommodation for your guests.
What's happening
Look out for annual bridal fairs and expos around the country.
Best buys
As many of the wedding destinations in the Northern Cape are remote and relatively isolated, all-inclusive wedding deals are well worth considering.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While you may not mind asking mom and dad for tuition funds or begging friends to chip in for gas money, asking loved ones to fund your business is a different story. Even if you're a responsible investor and a wise entrepreneur, money can cause serious problems in relationships. Before you ask a friend or family member for business capital, experts say it's best to go in with a game plan and make sure you treat every investor -- even grandma -- with respect. "Friends and family are typically the first place people look when they are starting a business, because those are the people who already have faith in you and your abilities," says David Barbash, managing partner at Boston law firm Posternak Blankstein & Lund. People who have confidence in you will be more likely to contribute to your business, but Barbash cautions that they still need to see a business plan and understand your corporate vision. In other words, treat them like you would any other investor. "Don't approach them any differently than you would an average investor who you are meeting for the purpose of asking them to invest," he says. "Even though they already believe in you, boost their confidence even more by telling them how you're going to generate revenue, how you plan to grow the business and what your strategies will be. They'll walk away even more excited to help you." Never assume that prospective investors understand your professional expertise just because they know you -- don't be afraid to tell them stories about your vision for the company and your experience, says Jerry White, director of the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at the Cox School of Business. "Tell them an interesting story about how you, the entrepreneur, recognized an unfulfilled need, your approach to solving that need and your current plans for making your business viable, including your search for financing," White says. "If they show real interest then that will lead you to be able to discuss execution of the plan." It's great to go into as many corporate details as possible, but avoid discussing exit strategies or plans to sell the business, says Rohit Arora, co-founder of Biz2Credit, a small-business lending service.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Weather warnings were issued Tuesday for several Central Florida counties as storms bringing heavy rain, strong winds and excessive lightning passed through the region.
Tornado warnings were posted earlier in the day for Flagler County and Lake County but were canceled by noon.
A tornado watch for all of Central Florida expired three hours later, but a watch was re-issued for Orange County until 4 p.m.
"It's a huge storm system that stretches across the middle of the U.S. down to Florida," said Local 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges, who added that there was a 70 percent coverage area affected in Central Florida.
No damage was reported in the Orlando area, but officials say a waterspout came ashore along Tampa's Harbour Island, causing minor roof damage.
Bay News 9 reports the National Weather Service confirmed the damage was caused by a tornado Tuesday morning. The TV station also reported wind gusts of 91 mph were recorded in Cedar Key, along Florida's Gulf Coast, causing some downed trees.
After reaching the 80s in Orlando on Thursday, temps will gradually drop through the end of the week. Rain chances diminish greatly for the rest of the week.
The high on Wednesday will hit 77 degrees, but weekend high temps will only be in the 60s.
"By the weekend, morning lows will drop into the 30s and 40s in Central Florida," Bridges said.

My grandfather always wore a hat — not a cap like you see many farmers wear today, but way back then, he wore a straw hat during nice weather and a heavier yet similar type of hat in winter. I think he also had a nice hat that he seldom wore ... it would have been the same hat he put on when he had to wear a suit and tie, which was next to never.
I remember exactly where he hung his hat in the old farmhouse — right next to his coat on a hook that was too high for me to reach. I remember climbing up on a stool to take his hat off the hook and then proceed to wear his hat around the house, until he'd had enough of my antics and made me take it off. I loved those hats, and even today, if I close my eyes, I can still smell my Grandpa's sweat-soaked straw hat that was his (and my) favorite.
I spent hour after hour with my grandfather, and one thing that sticks in my mind is how he would always remove his hat when he entered a building. Going into the bank, it was the first thing he did when he walked in the door. Actually it didn't matter where he was going — the corner grocery store, the drug store, the gas station, a restaurant, the insurance man's place ... even the feed store — Grandpa's hat always came off his head the minute he stepped a foot inside the establishment. Most of the time he'd carry it the whole time he was inside the business, however, if his hands needed to be busy, he'd hand that hat to me to hold for him. It sounds silly, but as a little kid, I always felt so proud to be the keeper of his hat.
And that was just the beginning ... Grandpa's hat came off other times too. Besides being the first thing he'd shed when he came into the house, Grandpa always removed his hat when he was outdoors and in the company of ladies. If another farmer stopped him on Main Street to introduce him to his wife, Grandpa also immediately removed his hat. Actually, any time he was introduced to anyone, that hat came off. It was second nature. I don't think he even thought twice about it. It was just the thing to do.
Probably the most visible time I remember Grandpa removing his hat was during a parade. While we all waited on the curb for those Memorial Day parades, Grandpa always remained in the car behind the steering wheel, until the procession got close. When it was a block away, he'd struggle with the years, but he'd still get out of the car, stand as straight as he possibly could, and remove his hat and hold it over his heart. There it would remain until the American flag and the U.S. color guard had passed. Even now, it touches me to remember that.
It's safe to say my grandfather of German descent knew the rules ... no, it wasn't about rules, it was all about manners. As children, we were expected to exhibit good manners at all times, and he was a perfect example for us. Though we seldom were reprimanded about not having good manners — basically because we usually did, we also knew anything short of exemplary social graces wouldn't be tolerated.
And so it was the other day when I was at an event that included about 300 other people. OK, it was a somewhat casual, indoor event, but it really struck me as I looked around the room. I started to count, but soon realized it was going to take too much time. The number of people in that large indoor room who were wearing hats (mostly caps) was incredible. When did it become OK for people to wear a hat indoors?
I could go on and on about manners ... or actually, the lack thereof that I see in today's society, but you get the idea. Good and bad manners are standards of conduct that reveal much about an individual. In many cases, it seems we've kicked manners to the curb. Worse ... today's children have watched us do it.

CORONATION Street actress Catherine Tyldesley has said that there is "no way" she would ever wear her character's skimpy clothes in real life.
The Walkden 30-year-old, who plays barmaid Eva Price, says she prefers more '50s style clothes than the revealing attire of her alter-ego.
She added: "Dad tells me 'You'll catch your death, Cath.' It can be pretty embarrassing sometimes. But it's all part of the character. In fact I pick a lot of Eva's clothes myself.
"But I must admit I wouldn't wear the majority of them in real life. No way."

We're nearly halfway through the Mallomar "off season": the annual phenomena that deprives Mallo fans of their sweet, fluffy craving for nearly half the year. This hiatus—a tradition held over from the old timey days before it was possible to refrigerate cookie delivery trucks—is very publicly criticized by the glitterati and holds a special sore spot with those in the Metro NYC area, where the cookie was invented. Despite the pushback over the policy, Nabisco continues to release the cookie only within its limited window of October - April in order to prevent melting and ensure that each box of Mallomars is absolutely perfect.
For those of you counting the days until the Mallomar's return, I've designed a pie to tide you over. The crust mimics the crisp, sweet-and-salty base of the original cookie, made with graham cracker crumbs, butter, and just a little extra sugar and salt. It's filled with a big, airy marshmallow, the kind that springs back when you bite or cut into it, which is then slathered with a layer of tempered chocolate. As with the Mallomar, here the marshmallow is the main attraction, accented by the bite of graham and the crisp chocolate shell. This pie will tide you over until October, and just as with the namesake, its especially delightful straight from the freezer.

Did you know?
In South Africa, model release forms are generally not used except for formal commercial purposes.
As a traveller, you'll probably have found that photographing people, particularly strangers, in foreign countries can be a sensitive issue.
In some parts of the world, people will absolutely not allow you to take their photograph. In some cases it is for religious or belief reasons. In other places, people want payment.
Most South Africans, especially children, love having their photograph taken. Most, including adults, will pose freely, happy with the attention and interaction. And these days, with digital cameras, it's so much fun showing them their images afterwards.
But there are some photographic guidelines you should loosely follow.
The most important is to engage with the people you'd like to photograph. You'll always get a much better image, and a more enriching encounter, if you first talk to the people you'd like to photograph. If you can't speak their language, a smile, sign language and some kind of effort go a long way.
The easiest place to photograph people in interesting dress is at a cultural village, where this is expected. This is also true of festivals and cultural dances.
But whatever the circumstance, ask permission if you are taking a picture of an individual or a small group. If you can't speak their language, holding a camera up with an enquiring look and a smile is usually enough.
Try to contextualise the people, including the background – especially if it's dramatic. To avoid stiff poses, have your subjects carry on doing what they do: weaving baskets, adjusting bridles, talking to their friends, lighting a pipe.
Now comes the question most often asked: should you pay your subjects? Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule. If your subject is a poor person, they will most likely not have a picture of themselves or their children, and would dearly love a copy. One of the best gifts you could give is to send them a print of the image you've just taken.
Sometimes, people are simply happy with the attention paid to them, and to glimpse the photo on the camera's screen. Other times, depending on the people and the situation, you may feel it's suitable to give a small gift of cash. A pen, a chocolate or a T-shirt might also be welcomed, but be sensitive and be careful not to be patronising.
If you're photographing a craftsman, a purchase of their produce would be appreciated.
If you want to capture more spontaneous situations, it's best to photograph people while you are unobserved, and this is where a telephoto lens and quick reflexes are needed.
Either way, images of South African people may end up being some of the most memorable and interesting of all the pictures you return home with.

Wholesale ACU Rank Insignia
Insignia (the plural of Latin insigne: emblem, symbol) is a symbol or token of personal power, status or office, or of an official body of government or jurisdiction. Insignia are especially used as an emblem of a specific or general authority. Rank insignia represents the rank of each personnel in the US military. The higher rank the officer is the more authority and responsibility the officer has. There are 3 categories in the rank system, enlisted members being the lowest, warrant officers being higher than enlisted members and commissioned officers being above all. Within each category there are ranks, for enlisted members the lowest rank is Private and the highest rank is Sergeant Major of the Army. Each rank is denoted with a different insignia identifying ones rank and if they are superior or inferior to other military personnel. Rank insignia are usually worn on hats, on the shoulder of uniforms or around the waist and chest. Rank insignia arent only worn by military personnel, they can be worn for style and clothing accessory purposes. The Army Combat Uniform (ACU) is the current combat uniform worn by the United States Army. It is the successor to the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) and Desert Camouflage Uniform (DCU) worn during the 1980s and 1990s. All our ACU rank inignias have a hook loop closure and do not need to be sowed onto any garments. Hook and loop patches are military patches that contain a hook and loop closure. Hook-and-loop fasteners consists of two layers: a "hook" side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered with even smaller and "hairier" loops. When the two sides are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and hold the pieces together. When the layers are separated, the strips make a characteristic "ripping" sound. Hook and loop is surprisingly strong. Generally military patches are attached to the front of the chest or on the side sleeve on the uniform. ACU rank insignia will add patriotism to your clothing when attached. All our ranking are official military issued rankings as of 2009. We offer both United States Army enlisted rank insignia and United States Army officer rank insignia. ACU rank insignias are great for military wear, fashion wear, custom wear, battle reenactments, gifts, and much more. ACU Rank Insignia is also known as military patches, army combat uniforms stitches, sewn clothing arts, digital deserts symbols, etc. ACU Rank Insignia is commonly misspelled as camo sleeves, etc.

Did you know?
After a historic gunfight in the local hotel, Wolwefontein was nicknamed Revolverfontein for a while.
Our two-night road trip from Port Elizabeth to Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape Karoo Heartland begins with a Friday drive to the town of Addo in the Sundays River Valley.
We check in at the Elephant House, an elegant guest house only 8km from the entrance to the Addo Elephant National Park, and embark on a tour of South Africa's 'Citrus Central'.
Our guide takes us up to a lookout spot where pioneer-author Percy Fitzpatrick (who wrote the epic, Jock of the Bushveld) lies buried with his wife, Elizabeth.
The gravesite has a wonderful view of the Sundays River Valley, a scheme devised by Fitzpatrick who, according to legend, 'imagined rain in the Karoo watering the oranges that would be served at an English breakfast table'. Much of South Africa's annual citrus crop is exported.
After a drive into the 'elephant thicket' of Addo Elephant National Park, and a sundowner within sight of a massive herd of jumbo, our dinner awaits: beautifully presented country cuisine accompanied by a selection of wines from the Western Cape.
After breakfast the next morning, we pass through the little town of Kirkwood, which is bustling with Saturday morning shoppers. You should see Kirkwood at the end of June every year, when it stages its annual Wildlife Festival. More than 40 000 people come streaming in for this popular gourmet expo, which also features a string of national music stars.
After that we go a little 'offbeat' on the R75. The railway siding of Wolwefontein is our next stop, and you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a spaghetti Western movie set.
The Wolwefontein Hotel bar, you can just tell, is full of stories. Dozens upon dozens of caps hang from the ceiling. There's a dusty python skin tacked to the wall. From the wall, an eland's head smirks at the TV set, a cigarette drooping from its lips. It's all delightfully quirky. We stop here for a pub lunch before moving on to Steytlerville.
Steytlerville is a typical Karoo town. It has wide streets and deep, shady porches. The main street (and this is exclusively Steytlerville) sports the family crests of most of its residents.
We spend the afternoon appreciating the peace, the space and the local humour out at Noorspoort Guest Farm, where we also learn about folded mountains and the carbon-credit value of spekboom (pork bush).
Tonight is a special treat. We're checked in at the Karroo Theatrical Hotel and at dinner we are entertained by the owners, who stage a cabaret show that is both musical and hilarious.
On Sunday morning, we take a slow drive up the R338 past the Mount Stewart community church on the hill, through the Victorian-era village of Aberdeen and the Camdeboo Mountains, and into Graaff-Reinet, jewel of the Karoo.
And here we're in the capable hands of David McNaughton of Karoo Connections, who reveals the secrets and surprises of this grand old town and its colourful history on a day tour that ends with drinks on the heights overlooking the Valley of Desolation.

How to get here
Take the N2 north to Nanaga, turn off onto the N10 to Paterson and turn left on the R342 to Addo. The Elephant House is well signposted in the area. From Addo, take the R336 to Kirkwood and then the R75 to Wolwefontein. From there, take the R329 to Steytlerville, then the R338 to Aberdeen, linking with the N9 to Graaff-Reinet. The whole journey is approx. 450km, but take your time and spread it out over two days.
Best time to visit
Any time of year is good for this trip, except for the height of summer in January and February, when it is very hot.
Get around
You can hire a car from Port Elizabeth – just take it easy on the dirt-road sections of the trip.
What will it cost
The Elephant House rates vary on a seasonal bases between R750 and R1250 pp per night, on a B&B basis; the Karroo Theatrical Hotel rates are set at R330 pp per night, also on a B&B basis.
Length of stay
The recommended time for this trip is three days and two nights if you can spare the time.
What to pack
Pack something semi-smart for dinners, otherwise just pack seasonally (it can be very hot in summer, from about October to March and very cold in winter, from about May to August), and keep a warm jacket for the Karoo evenings.
What to eat
You're in 'lamb chop' country, but the recommended guest house and hotel both offer a wide range of dishes.
What's happening
Check the listed websites for festivals and events along the way during your trip.
Best buys
There are a number of very good mohair products on sale along the route.

KristopherKubicki - Saturday, July 17, 2004 - linkDizan,
I think it will be 4X DVD DL capable (not that there will be any media anyway).
You can probably still order it or the LiteON SOHW-832S from the US though.

DizanTar - Friday, June 11, 2004 - linkI asked Sony about if and when this drive will be available in Canada. Sony responded that this model will not be available, but the replacement drive will be in august. Anyone knows about a new model of this drive, except the external one?

AbRASiON - Thursday, May 06, 2004 - linkI concur with Tim (post #15) - it would be nice to know we can control precisely where the layer change is.
I'm also curious on the compatibility of a BURNT +R DL or -R DL disc on most DVD players - I bet it's quite a bit lower than non DL disc's
:( Reply
Belzer - Thursday, May 06, 2004 - linkI think the DL burners eventually will be faster than 4x speed, maybe 6x-8x. Remember that it was not long ago that many said that DL burning would not be possible at all. Quote from the same article as you linked to: http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/140#philips
"For instance, one company (BenQ) mentioned to us that 4x would be the maximum recording speed for DL discs but the spokesperson for Philips said that it will probably go faster than that." Reply
MysticMan1 - Thursday, May 06, 2004 - linkAlso the DL format speed will max out at 4x speed because of the amount of power needed to burn a double layer disc. Reply
timmiser - Thursday, May 06, 2004 - linkI am concerned about software support specifically choosing when the DVD switches layers. In commercial DVD's, they purposely put the change to the second layer at a part of the movie where it will be less noticable. (The switch causes about a 1 second pause.).
If I am burning a home movie onto a DVD DL and if I don't have control of where the dual layer switch occurs, it may occur in the middle of an undesirable moment in my movie.
I wonder if there will be any way to stipulate where this switch occurs?
MysticMan1 - Thursday, May 06, 2004 - linkI have the Sony DRU700A drive deals posted in the Anandtech "hot deal" forum here: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=...
FYI: Here's a quote from Philips, who created the DL format. Quote: (According to Philips it will not be possible to upgrade existing 8x DVD recorders to DL layer recorders, contrary to what some rumours are saying. In theory the laser power of an 8x drive is strong enough to handle DL but the problem is, is that the OPU (Optical Pickup Unit) of the drive is often not good enough. This will lead to quality problems. However, some drives with good OPUs could, in theory, be upgraded although they'd have to be handpicked) Reply

KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkhahher:
fairly likely. As we mentioned in the review we firmware upgraded our GO-W0808A to DL.
Kristopher Reply
Ian@CDRlabs - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkAccording to Sony, its $199.99 right now. Reply
hahher - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkwhat about price of this burner? price of other burnes (lite-on)?
since components are similar to other current burners, how likely is it to see firmware upgrades to DL?
Ian@CDRlabs - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkHmm.. maybe you should ask the author Karr. Reply
KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkIan@CDRlabs: Not officially.
Kristopher Reply
Ian@CDRlabs - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkKProbe2 does support PI/PO error testing (or BLER as you call them) for DVD+R DL. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 - linkFirst of all, finding Dual Layer DVD media will likely take some time. Even though it isn't hard to find DVD+R/DVD-R media now, finding quality media for a reasonable price is still a gamble, much like CD-R media was in its earlier days.
Secondly, if this drive has different pickups then it isn't "essentially the same as the Gigabyte" DVD writer. To write to the second layer of a dual layer DVD, more sensitive mechanisms are needed, and obviously this was done. Just because two DVD writers have the same chipset does not mean they will burn the same; if they have a different pickup mechanism, the drives will likely differ in performance. This has already been proven by the NEC 2500A and Pioneer 107D, which both use the same chipset but do not have exactly the same performance.

The holiday season is over, yet consumer electronics enthusiasts are enjoying one final gift: the bounty of gizmos and gadgetry on display at CES 2010 in Las Vegas. Green-tech enthusiasts, however, might come away disappointed. Sure, the Sustainable Planet space at the show, where vendors flaunt their eco-friendly wares and services, has increased by 40 percent since last year's International CES. But with notable exceptions, the level of green-tech innovation is sorely lacking, especially given the absence of new green phones and other mobile devices.
Greener mobile devices would be a welcome development, considering the rate at which people are tossing out old phones to adopt the newest models. At last year's CES, Motorola unveiled a phone made from recycled water bottles. Later in August, Sprint unveiled the Samsung Reclaim; 40 percent of the phone's shell is made from bio-plastics and about 80 percent of the entire phone can be recycled.Companies such as Samsung and Sharp also announced solar-powered phones last year -- but they never seem to make it to the United States.
[ Find out what's hot at this year's 2010 CES show. | Track green IT trends on InfoWorld's Green IT Topic Center. ]
I would've very much liked to see CES 2010 be the venue for at least one of the leading manufacturers to announce a widely available green phone, one using alternative energy (solar, for example), low-power, full-featured, and made from recycled materials as well as renewable resources, such as bamboo.
Moving on to what green goods actually are on display at the show, there's the LG E2350V LED, a new 23-inch LCD monitor. Ninety percent of the materials and parts used to make the E2350V monitor can be reused or recycled at the end of the product's useful life, reducing the amount of materials sent to landfills. The monitor is sold in packaging that is 90 percent recyclable as well.
As such, the E2350V has earned the first UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Sustainable Product Certification gold mark. To garner the SPC mark, the monitor had to undergo independent, third-party certification to ensure it meets the IEEE 1680 environmental performance benchmark for consumer electronics, including Energy Star requirements. UL's environmental certification criteria include the elimination or reduction of certain hazardous substances that pose threats to human health and the environment.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An 18-year-old accused of killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring two girls after leaving a teen party at an Arlington nightclub in September pleaded not guilty Monday.
Jeremiah Corbett was arrested last month and charged with murder in the death of Horace James Jr. He is also charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a felon and shooting into an occupied building.
Corbett is being held in the Duval County Jail without bond. His next pretrial hearing is scheduled for Nov. 27.
According to a police report, eyewitnesses identified Corbett as one of four people in a van from which shots were fired into a crowded parking lot on University Boulevard North and toward the Club Menage nightclub on Sept. 25.
Police said the people in the van drove over to the parking lot of a Walgreens store and began arguing with other people in the parking lot when Corbett began shooting.
Police said Corbett missed his intended target, but bullets struck James and Alexis Johnson, 17. A 12-year-old girl was injured by flying glass.
Police said witnesses identified the vehicle used, which they traced to Raphael Thompson, 19, who was charged with accessory after the fact. According to Corbett's arrest report, Thompson and 20-year-old Bryant Smith named Corbett as the shooter.
James' family believed that Horace was shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The police report said Corbett denied the shooting and denied knowing either Thompson or Smith.
According to court records, Corbett had several arrests as a juvenile, including a conviction for sale of cocaine in 2006.

About 7 Dogs that died on American Airlines
In Memory of the Seven Dogs that Died after an American Airlines Flight
This memorial is remembering the seven puppies that died tragically after being transported as cargo on an American Airlines flight to Chicago.
Flight 851 was an hour late taking off from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tuesday morning. The flight arrived at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport by 9 a.m. with 14 dog kennels on board.
All the dogs were bound for other locations, but when ramp workers began the process of moving the dogs to the other flights, they noticed that the puppies looked so lethargic that they were taken from the airport to a veterinarian. Seven of the fourteen dogs later died.
The American Airlines website details rules for accepting dogs and cats on an aircraft. It says that "Temperature restrictions have been established to ensure animals are not exposed to extreme heat or cold." The website says pets cannot be accepted when the current or forecasted temperature is warmer than 85 degrees at any location on the itinerary. However, temperature at Tulsa International Airport was already 86 degrees at 7 a.m. before the plane's departure, and 87 degrees by 8 a.m.
Please help remember these puppies by making a donation to help other animals in need.
All memorial contributions to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will help PETA contnuie its lifesaving work in behalf of animals. Any gift that you are able to make is greatly appreciated.
